WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 26. 1962 MEDFOBD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Social Events Freshman Aboard Group irniTnn'S NOTE: Sleo hen Eichelberger, ion ol Mr. and Mri. Sharon S. Eichelberger, 3367 Foreit avenue, who hai been in Japan since September on a Freshman Abroad program from Lewis and Clark col lege, it lo return o San Francisco January 7, wilh the 20 other students on the lour, Mr. and Mrs. Eichel berger plan lo meet their ton in the Bay city to spend a couple days and on their return here, the student is lo fill some speaking en gagements before returning on to his college. Printed here are further comments on his experiences.) Wed stayed up pretty late Ihe niKlil before. In facit, we had been staying up darn late lor the whole week. I practically slept through our 7:30 breakfast, so 1 went back to my room to catch a little more sleep, 'lliat was when 1 hecame the only resident of Tokyo's new Grand Central station. Kids would come running through; the phone wouldn't stop ringing: 1 needed rest. I finally called the desk and told the man that this room no longer existed to telephone callers, then I locked the door and went to sleep. Not for long. By 10 a.m. I heard pounding on my door. 1 was rested, so I decided to quit playing dead and answer. Two other guys, many Japa nese student friends, and I spent a pleasant morning in classes at Kcio university. The rest of the day was a series of social engagements, study, and relaxation. One of our crowd is teaching a Japanese movie star English. Our group look a four-hour train ride to Nikko. We are staying lit the youth hostel here for two days, then all of us arc returning lo Tokyo for a few more. Nikko is famous for its magnificent scenery and landmarks. Upon arrival, we walked to one of Ihe landmarks, a huge Shinto shrine that was the state religious center during the period of the Tokugawa Slmmms. Nikko is ro cold that I stayed in bed until one today. 1 decided against rehiring to the temple in favor of studv. The lreezing day passed slow ly, ns 1 managed to get into a little more of Japan's his tory. I went out into some of Niklto's rustic back streets al about four to return with "Silf-Skins" Great ty v. 20 v -' AS SEEN ON TV w : -"-'TO 1 some fruit and bread for a snack. It's like ice here We headed back lo Tokyo today. We arrived in time for me to grab lunch, get cleaned up, and rush down to Tokyo Central. Kay s sister and Mother from Ashiya were coming in there, but Kay had picked up a little food poi soning on the trip. Mr. Okuyama (official for Ashiya) couldn't go cither, since he had called a doctor and was playing nursemaid. Nothing that a good nights sleep didn't cure. I didn't do anything today. Just sat around and neglected my studies. However, in the evening, I met the pen pal of a frinnd in Mcdford. Very enjoyable. We moved out of the hotel due to the advent of a conven tion today. The place thai we're occupying now is a Japanese Inn (still in Tokyo) that's better than the other place. We had Just dropped off our bags, so some of us went our own ways, and some went on a lour of Sony Electronics' Factory. I was glad that I went to the Sony factory. It was fabulous. We heard true stereo, the way it should be played; we saw the world's smallest video tape machine; we saw Ihe world's smallest selling TV; we did so many things thai it just turns into a sort of blur. We went back to the inn and dressed for a special din ner. Ihe upperclassmcn had arrived late in the afternoon, thinking thai we were in Kyoto by that time. We all sneaked into the place where they were slaying and stayed concealed until they showed up for dinner. It was a de lightful evening. I didn't do too much today. In the evening, I went to the place where the upperclass mcn are staying. We left Toyko early this morning. The train ride was uneventful, and, by Ihe time we reached Kyoto, it was get ting late in the afternoon. Bobby, my Japanese brother, was waiting for me at the hotel. We talked for quite a while; Okasan is in a hos pital learning a diabetes diet for the next three weeks. We explored Kyoto. It's a well designed city dating hack over a thousand years. Unlike Tokyo's labyrinth, Ihe main streets are straight Annual KOFF All styles included "BRA SPECIAL" A to Vi off Women's News Schedule To and at right angles to each other. The traffic isn't quite so dangerous, it's quieter, and there's tons of coffee-houses, We're surrounded by some of Japan's richest cultural his lory here. We went to the basement auditorium of the Kyoto Inter national hotel to receive our first lecture of this part of the trip. It was two hours, rather dry, and hard to under stand. However, it wasn't bad. Our second lecture from Prof. Shibata was much bet ter. It lasted longer, since we asked more questions, but the content was fascinating. I saw "Chuck" McNair again tonight. This was the last time that I'll see him In Japan. He's traveling with the International School of Amer ica, staying with host families for each two-week slay in cities around the world. He leaves for China Saturday, but he's hard pressed academ ically, and I'm not doing so bad cither. We took a night off and went out to talk over the fragments of Mcdford gossip that had reached us. We started our language classes today. We're being taught by a very competent American living here. Today was Thanksgiving, But we attended Prof. Shi bata's last lecture in the morn ing first. I wandered off alone after the lecture, since I had no intenion of sludying on a holiday. I spent the afternoon in a theater and got back to the hotel in time to hurriedly change for dinner. Dinner was cooked by our Professor's wife, Mrs. John son, and some of the girls. We had turkey and everything else in a family atmosphere equalled only by own homes. I wish I could say more, but there isn't much to say. . We're nil Olir Thank crft,inc Holidav until Mmtflnv I devoured another book and got slightly organized in my studies and livinn nrw-,cii inc (Such as washing my clothes ana myscn.) we ve made some Iriends at a nearby coffee house with the entire staff. and, as a result, get an extra order free while listening to records nt our chmcc which they play for us. One waiter in particular. Michin k a jazz buff, and he takes care of our ears and stomachs as we help him improve his English. In our room toniclit I rallied off about thirty or forty puns in a row during rniurvuii,m so writing is difficult since I've been trounced and beaten close to an early death. While Klnrlviitt, 1,,',.- I hcard the noise of n ian-n crowd, accompanied by a Dixieland band in a truck, out on the street. It was a paraflc of Doshisha Univer sity students celebrating their annual carnival. From anoth er street, however, appeared a different crowd of marchers. These people had no festival spirit, fur II American demonstrators. The ' uosnishH students we saw later were apologetic for the appearance of the other group, which they said was composed of Koreans. No violence oc cured. . , today, anyway. This was a day to get organ ized. So 1 did. 1 cleaned up my part of the mess in our room (and a little morel, washed some clothes, and out lined my academic plan of attack in pushing back the holders o( ignorance. Since I in now organized. I have time lo talk about that same old subject; the weather. Japan's clinuile Is similar to Mcdford s. This, of course, is generalization, but vnu'd be surprised al how true this really is. Autumn in Ashiya was mild with thai morning bite in Ihe air as a harbinger of approaching chilly davs. Occasionally it would cloud over and maybe even rain. Our two-week trip though south-east Japan was a sign of the roming winter with Us crisp cold, la 1 1 lug golden leaves, and the more frequent rains. Kyoto is known as one of the coldest cites on the central island. So far, fall is turning into winter pretty much the same as in Mcdford me nays are usually overcast j and it rains a couple of tunes each week From what I A,. , seen, w inter here will he like Mcdford s ( Wr rocicved a lecture shout Japan's relation with Ihe rest of Asia this morning Ihe gentleman who spoke to us' was slightly amanng. Besides being a brilliant history, scholar, he speaks si or seven different languages Afterw ard, some of us coin-1 pleted our Alien registration I really feel like a resident now. We met a group of jtu- dents afier dinner They speak ! K.nglish, and they re assigned . lo help each of us in our special areas of study . Today we tourrd liny. iid we tour I cant evrn lemrin- Return bcr the order or all the places we went. However, the out standing sights still stick in my mind. There was the Kinkakuji or Gold Pavillion, built six hundred years ago by the De Facto ruler of Ja pan; there was Ryoanjl tem ple with its world famous Zen rock garden, the fabulous moss gardens surviving from the fourteenth century in Saihoti temple; Tenruji, the headquarters for Japan's sec ond largest Buddist sect; Kiy oniizuclera with its many buildings overlooking Kyoto's spectacular view; and many other temples, shrines, and gardens. We saw so much in such a short time that we will have to return again to really see what interested us. We re started language classes to night. Most of us were too tired to do a good job, but it was easy enough to get by sufficiently. We went to Doshisha Uni versity to listen to Professor Carey lecture on Japanese American relations. Doshisha is closely affliatcd with Am herst in America, and Mr. Carey's program includes go ing there for a year every five years or so. Five of us went to our first Sumi-e class this evening. Sumi-e is the Japa nese brush-paintl.ig that re sembles pantheistic, black and white water colors. Its diffi cult technique is amazingly rigid. Today I met with a student who is helping me see the Zen philosophy behind Sumi-e. Later, I attended a production of Our Town put on by Doshi sha's English speaking society. Unbelieveablc. I met with another Japa nese student today. He's help ing me translate some material for one of my papers. After that, I went back to the hotel and worked on a painting thai I might possibly give to my Japanese family, that is if it's good enough. There was a student demonstration this evening. About six of us, my self Included, were right in the middle of it, watching the snake dances and occasional fights that broke out. It was timed and organized well enough to jam up the streets hours after the thirty-minute melee was over. We talked to one of the students who had taken it upon himself to watch out for us during the demon stration. It was all about the city raising bus fares. No injuries, arrests, or publicity. This was the day we moved into Ihe Inlernational Kyoto Hotel. If I snid the other hotel was fabulous, this place is too difficult to describe in superlatives. However, many gaijin (foreigners) come here. and the loud sport coals. gawdy jewelry, and pol bellies rather detract from the atmos phere. I went to the traditional Noli Drama with one of the girls from the group and a student host. This is one of the subjects lo he covered in my theater paper, so 1 was intel lectually satisfied for Ihe rest of Ihe day. I've boon studying pro gressively harder as the test gels nearer. However, as you can see, outside activities take out study time. Today I did nothing but study and eal. 1 was so wrapped up in it that when 1 decided lo knock off lor the night. 1 found that it was three a. m. I slept hue. bul still man aged lo put in ten hours of study for the day. The lest is tomorrow. Our morning was occupied with a lecture thai I didn't concentrate on. I walked to the American Cultural Center where we all took our first college midterm. It was the most comprehensive test I've ever taken. 1 cut a laic eve ning language class to catch up on my rest. We had a lecture on the changing Japanese social pat tern this morning. Most of our lectures are in the base ment auditorium of the Inter national, so they are quite convenient, even 'though they are a liltle formal. Sumi-e class this evening was belter than last lime, but I think my capabilities are limited. Pressure is still left over from Ihe lest, so by this after noon. I couldn't stand study ing much longer. I took in a movie, talked Willi a few people, and went to bed. We had a fascinating lec ture on theater this morning. Our lectures usually last Iwo hours, hot this went over three Prof Suga is arranging some backstage visits for me. My fust judo lesson this after noon ended with my suffering fiom multiple aches The col legiate judo champion of Japan was my tormentor. Nol rrallv he was real nice he flipped me a couple of dozen limes This was a day of m- roue ret I turd to write hVtier.

The subject of education in Japan is fascinating, but our lecture on it wasn't. In the afternoon we met the presi dent of Doshisha university and attended some classes afterward. The language lab handled six languages, and all you had to do was put your earphone plug in one of six sockets. They were play ing Christmas carols on one channel. I slept right through the alarm this morning, so I had breakfast in bed. I studied through the day, attending a language class and wriling one of my papers. Late al night, I was In Mary Ellen and Cherrie s room, and they decided that I needed a hair cut. I concurred. We stayed up until one while Mary Ellen cut and Cherie acted as tech nical adviser. It started pretty badly, and gradually got bet ter as Mary Ellen got tenser. The girls were sweet and genuinely worried about their job, but they didn't do too bad a haircut. I'll go lo my little barber in Ashiya during the Christmas break when I visit my Japanese family once more. Our lecture this morning was from an American. He spoke intelligently on Japa nese history. After a day of study, well . . , maybe half a day. I took a couple of my paintings to the Kyoto Art center. The people there were enthusiastic, but didn't mention enough money, so I'll give the paintings as Christ mas presents to my Japanese family rather than use Ihe money from them to buy bet ter presents. In another style of painting. I ll mention Sumi-e. We hail our small class tonight, and I've definitely developed an anli Sumi e style. My hand is too heavy on the brush, and my style is too modern. I like it. 1 also drew a cartoon for our teacher. Today's lecture on secular fine arts fell pretty flat, hut the translator was a girl who had been in Doshisha's pro duction of Our Town, so it w as enjoyable. Studying tins t afternoon was next to impos sible, so I w ent downtown tor about two hours. Imagine a great, blond giant walking through Medford. and you'll get the effect of my window shopping among all these wonderful Unit little) people. 1 was studying with Mary Ellen tonight, and she practi cally rewrote my week's work on my theater paper. I'd asked for help, but I didn't expect her to do such a darn good job. She did the same kind of thing my American mom would have done: the gram mar and wording came nut refined, and the meaning was clearer. Still. It's the last time 1 ak a smart girl anything Note: Marv Ellen is (mm Claiemont. Calif, born in Medford. Ore.

Madame Alexander, well-known doll designer, received a protest from the While House when she designed two new dolls and named Ihem Caroline and Jacqueline. However, peppery Madame Alexander. 40 years in the doll business, retorted thai Ihe "two aren't our best sellers." (UPI) Doll Designer Receives Protest From White House BY GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York.-ltiPli-A couple of dolls named Caroline and Jacqueline brought an official protest from the White House. ST"! But the pep- tJf Jpery nine 't M woman who rir signed the nuying season is getting the last word. "The two a r e n't the Gay faulty best -selling Hume ive nave this year," said Madame Alexander to day. She laughed as sue aoa ed""Mavbe it's because of the stock market slump, and be- ause there are more republi cans than has been figured." Madame Alexander, who in in vears in the doll business has' "immortalized" in doll form manv of the world famous, said that actually it was nol her fault thai tne White House disapproved of the commercialization of a couple of Famous Names. "Every one of our retailers had pledged not to use the Kennedy name." She said, "Every shipment was stamped that the dolls were nol to be advertised as Kennedy dolls. And we aren't using it in any promotion." Sent Samples Madame Alexander said that some time ago she had sent the White House samples of Caroline and Jacaueline. hoping for approval of the doll designs. Back came a pleasant but firm letter from Pierre Salinger, White House Press Secretary, saying that the designs could set off a whole rash of cheaper copies. "He also insisted that I send him a bill for the dolls," said the designer. The issue might have ended, except that word of the dolls cot around. A famous New York lov store nut them on display for the Christmas mar ket, and a New 'iork columisi mpnt iooed Die look-alikes. said Madame Alexander. Sal inger called her. i explained to him what had happened." she said. "1 told him if we put out the dolls next year, we wont : name them Jacqueline and I Caroline, because of White House displeasure." "The truth is." she added. "I've always done portrait dolls. I didn't have Ihe little ! Kennedy girl in mind original I ly when 1 registered the name j Caroline. I was thinking of Grace Kelly's little girl.

Made Changes The designer ruefully add I ed that when her firm de cided lo uroduce the Caroline doll this year. "I did change the brown hair and brown eyes of Princess Grace's little girl lo the blonde hair and blue eyes of Ihe other Caro line. And 1 did put her in Jodhpurs," The Jacqueline doll just faintly resembles the first lady. Rolh dolls have trunks full o f clothes, including mother and daughter riding habits.

In some instances, of course, you must have per mission, like the Dionne Quintuplets I did years ago." When the famous Canadian quints arrived, Madame Alex ander's husband, who is gen eral manager of the firm, sug gested miniatures of the dark haired infants. "What! me do a liltcr of babies," she protested. But she went ahead anyway with permission of the govern ment and the dolls were "fab ulous sellers," she said. "I hadn't known until then how much people are interested in other people's children." But the all-time best selling doll, she said, is "Kitten", introduced in 1961 and going strong i n three different heights. She's sweet-faced in fant with a short, pixie hair cut. Madame Alexander in real life is Mrs. Phillip Behrman. He is general manager of the business; She is president and chief designer. A merry little woman of 68 years, she looks far younger with her brown hair done in a short, artichoke cut. The couple has one daughter Mil dred, an artist, married to Richard Birnbauni. who also is with the firm. There is a 22-year-old grandson. Madame Alexander dolls sell from S2 for miniatures right on up the scale lo S150, for individual pieces. She has done many higher priced dolls on special re quest, once for the opening of Westchester County, N. Y. store (Manaiuaker's), she did a doll complete with ermine robe and diamond solitaire ring. Price tag: $1.0(11). "It was made strictly as a publicity stunt." said Madame Alexander. "But some doting grandfather bought it. To tell you the truth, it wasn't worth that much."

VarntTil Sprv 'Mary, Mary' Next Play' An early-January eveni is "Mary, Mary," next produc tion of the Broadway Theater league scheduled for January 2 at the Holly theater. This comedy, currently run ning on Broadway as well as having a touring company, is by Jean Kerr, the author of the best-seller, "Please Don't Eat the Daisies." The play points up, sharply and amus ingly, the small frailties of people. The inner core of the comedy is said to be the uni versal problem between nice men and bright women the utter futility of using logic on females who respond only to charm and vigor. In the cast will be Jeffrey Lynn, who appeared here last season, Patricia Smith, John Lasell, Clinton Sundberg and Hcddie Bates. Suttons Arrive From Seattle Mr. and Mrs. Robert B.
