Fulbright Scholar Reports UO Women Students
Easier to Teachf Less Noisy Than Boys In School'
“Girls arc easier to teach than
boys they are not so noisy," is the
opinion of Bunji Kobayaslii, gradu
ate assistant in the school of archi
tecture.
The Japanese Fulbright scholar
had his teaching experience at a
girls’ junior college and as a lec
turer at many universities in Ja
pan. He is at present taking four
courses at the university- two of
architectural history, one of aes
thetic art which is “hard, and
takes too much time" and history
of western civilization, to help his
English.
Interesting Times
Now in the United States for the
first time, Kobayashi had some in
teresting experiences while getting
used to this country. He enrolled
in the orientation program at the
University of Washington campus
last summer and took six weeks of
English conversation, American
culture, sociology and some of the
aspects of student life here.
Kobayashi graduated from the
University of Tokyo architecture
school in 1941 and did post-gradu
ate work there until 1944. Between
1947 and 1950 he received a re
search fund scholarship to continue
his work.
Board Member
Kobayashi now serves as a mem
ber of several high advisory boards
in the Japanese educational sys
tem, as a lecturer for many Japa
nese universities and in the capac
ity of graduate assistant hero.
Among the works he has had
published are numerous articles in
Japanese art and architectural
magazines, several chapters on
architecture in a children’s encyclo
pedia and a book, "A Miniature His
tory of Japanese Houses,” edited by
Uie National Museum in Tokyo.
Listing photography as one of
his favorite hobbies, the versatile
scholar speaks proudly of his large
collection of color slides on Japa
nese gardens and architecture
many of which were taken in Ky
oto, the ancient capital of Japan.
Language Expert
Having received a very complete
education, Kobayashi boasts a
language background of unusual
proportions. His “first language,”
he says, was German, which he
studied for three years. This was
followed by Yatin and seven years
of English.
Kobayashi stays at Sigma hall,
where the sleeping-porch arrange
ment continues to frighten him. As
he explains it, “the Japanese are
very nervous from earthquakes”
and the movement from a top bunk
can awaken him and frighten him
thoroughly. He has been in several
major earthquakes in Japan.
\\ hen asked whether Americans
were as he had expected them to be.
Kobayaslii replied that lie had
known many Americans before—
one a missionary who taught him
the English conversation he knows
so well and others who were pro
fessors in colleges in Tokyo.
Music
lie likes classical music and es
pecially admires the work of Cho
pin. He plays the piano "a little."
\\ bile still in Seijo Gkuen, a junior
college in Tokyo, he was music re
porter for the school newspaper.
In connection with his color slide
collection, Kobayaslii urged any
students who are interested in
Japanese art to contact him in his
art building office to arrange to
borrow parts of the collection.
