By KARUSNE RITZAU
Emerald Staff Writer
Yaaumasa Kuroda is a friendly
political science major with very
lucid ideas about democracy.
Seven years ago, he came to the
United States from Tokyo, where
he was born. He is now working
on a Ph.D., which he says, “I hope j
to finish in six months.” Laugh- j
ing, he added. "I hope my advisor
reads this."
YAS, AS YASUMAS.VS friends
call him. is the one who brought

clause issue. Yas says, "I like the
society in which everyone will
have equal access in everything
in which he wishes to partici
pate.” He feels that some people
believe in saying that which they
do not practice. Yas says that he
believes in action. He said “The
University becomes dull and use
less when the students cease to
make a fuss about something."
There are some ninety univer
sities and colleges in Tokyo, and
it is filled with students wearing
black uniforms. When asked to
compare school systems of Japan
and the United States, Yas said.
"Perhaps the most noticeable
thing is that students over there
are free from daily assignments
so that they can pursue their
own time." There are exams twice
a year and the selection of stu
dents is made before the students
come to the university.
YAS STUDIED very hard in
high school in order to prepare
for college selection. He says that
students in high school here do
not study as much as they do in
Japan, but that American stu
dents in colleges and universities
here seem to study more.
Yas says that here at the Uni
versity some students are very
good and some inferior. In the
national universities of Japan,

"You will not find the inferior
students because of the selective
process.”
“PEOPLE IN EUGENE seem
to he very friendly to the foreign
students on campus," Yas stated.
He referred to the Foreign Stu
dents Friendship Foundation or
ganized by the people of Eugene.
Yas says his first impression
of the United States was, "Rich,
rich, rich!” He said that he has
since discovered some very poor
Americans. "I do not think Am
ericans are as materialistic as
some people like ’to think." he
concluded.
In comparison of the educa
tional system in Europe and Am
