Still more: the exclusive Valentine Lerelast lets yoar foot rest Japanese Woman Writer Spending Week in Valley Interesting comparisons between newspapers and journalism in Japan and in this country were made by Miss Yoshiko Seki, Tokyo, who is attending the University of Oregon as a special student, in an interview Monday. Miss Seki is a guest of Miss Charity Williams, senior at the university, at the home of Miss Williams' parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas V. Williams-, 1975 Houston road. Miss Seki, who is more inter ested in interpretive reporting than in day-by-day news cover age, had considerable back ground and experience in inter preting news before coming to this country. During the last months of World War II Miss Seki was assigned to work with the brothert of .the Japanese emperor as an analyst and inter preter of news from America. Miss Seki stated that by some means the Japanese were able to obtain copies of such publica tions as Time and Life maga zines and of leading newspapers. These were thoroughly read and analyzed by the young woman and reports made on their con tents to the emperor's brother. After the close of the war and during the occupation days Miss Seki worked for National Broad casting company and Warner brothers as a scriptwriter, one of her duties being to write ma terial for television news broad casts. Already a graduate of Wom en's Christian college in Japan, Miss Seki applied for a scholar ship and is now spending her second year at the university as a special student in journalism. Miss Seki admitted that she was somewhat disappointed in the courses, since she had ended up taking classes in the mechanics of news writing and editing which she feels have been of lit tle value. However, she has en joyed her stay in this country and has gained valuable knowl edge in other fields. One of Miss Seki's most inter esting experiences in this coun try was gained as a member of the Japanese delegation to the peace conference held in San Francisco last summer. She worked as a receptionist, sec retary and interpreter. Miss Seki has not yet decided whether to return to Japan or to seek a position in this country at the close of her study at the university. She explained, with considerable earnestness, that she believed she should seek a position where her knowledge of both Japan and this nation could be put to advantage as a "go between" or interpreter of one nation to the other. Comparing newspapers of the United States with those of Japan, the student said that Japan has only very large dailies, which cover extensive territories, and -few local or community newspapers, like f. u LEMINES the pretty shoes that in its natural, level position. So let pretty Valentine, We've $9-95 1 The House those -which flourish in this country. There are three Tokyo dailies she said, one of which has a circulation of around 3,000,000. Because of several factors, one of which is a severe newsprint shortage, the Japan ese dailies confine their pages strictly to news which will be of interest to a large per centage of their readers, she said. Miss Seki added that the Japanese dailies are not "packaged, 'that is, they do not have entertainment, fic tion or other subsidiary sections, such as the American dailies have, with a variety of fields covered by the one publication. Since enrolled at the univer sity Miss Seki has written spec ial articles for the Portland Journal, and for a Japanese daily, the latter concerning her impressions of the journalistic training at the university and her reaction to her courses here. Miss Seki stated that she had been treated with great courtesy at the university and said she was much pleased at finding the students so friendly. She will remain here with the Williams family for the week of spring vacation.
