European Job Nixon Worker Puts Emphasis Slams Article
On Personality
Personal traits are far more important in seeking jobs abroad than they are here. W. T. Lockett, trade business analyst of the U. S. Department of Commerce told the junior class of ihe International Relations School yesterday.
Lockett pointed out that "the key to business opportunity a-brcad is good posture, the ability to read and a knack for remembering names.”
"An individual must make himself well-liked if he expects to work abroad and the secret to being liked is being yourself, keeping ycur individuality,” he said.
Lcckett also emphasized ihe Importance of social activities •bread. “You have to entertain constantly—and successfully," he said.
He cautioned the young foreign service hopefuls th^t “such a career requires a great deal of tempcrance and fore-bearanec.”
An excellent place to start a foreign service career is in the D-^priment of Commerce, according to Lcckett. who formerly s~i e-'mcm’c officer with 1se American embassy in Aires.
“Jcbs with the State Departin’ ?re available.” he said “but the competition is very keen, and it takes a very competent man to ‘ret into such jobs.”
The fields of accounting, marketing research and language specialization are among the areas Lockett considered more readily open to qualified applicant«.
“Women can start as stenographers and typists and will have opportunities to advance from there,” he said.
Lockett noted that “to get Into employment with a private business is very hard abroad.”
Herbert Klein, Vice President Richard >1. Nixon’s press secretary, has labeled a Daily Trojan editorial criticizing Nixon's speech at I SC as a display of "juvenile bias.”
Klein stated in an exclusive Daily Trojan interview at the Pan Pacific Auditorium last Saturday night that he was surprised at the contend of the front-page editorial of Oct. 17. which accused Nixon of “speaking down” to students at the First-Time Voter Convocation.
“I was a little saddened by it,” said Klein, CSC a'umnus and former Daily Trojan staff member.
Klein pointed out that he has always respected the traditional rights of the press to express its opinions.
"As an editor of metropolitan newspa;»er—the San Diego Vnion—and as someone vitally interested in politics. I will always fight for this,” he said.
K'ein is currently on a leave of absence from his newspaper.

Japanese Men Dislike Women's New Status
(Editor's Note: This is the last in a series of articles by a USC international relations major who visited Japan this summer and participated in the In- ■ ternational Students Conference held there. Miss Sakiyama concludes her discussions with a profile of the Japar^e woman.' ! By HELEN SAKIYAMA
Ask any Japanese man ab-ut postwar Japan and he'll reply, J “Two things are getting stronger in Nippon: the economy and nylon stockings.”
But’ while Tanaka-san (Japanese John Doe) may rejoice in the prospects of a stronger economy, he seriously doubts that stronger “nylon stockings" are necessarily better ones.
“The Modern Japanese Woman" was the topic of a panel discussion in which our group participated with students and professors of Kansai Gakuin University in Kobe.
Constitutional Rights The postwar Constitution grants women the same rights as men. Some of the privileges they never before had enjoyed—the right to vote, the right to own property as individuals separate form their husbands the right to enjoy exactly the same grounds for divorce as their husbands, the right to receive the same share of the family inheritance as their brothers.
However, at the present controversy concerning the Japanese woman does not stem so much from male oppostion to her independent legal status per se. Rather, the men are complaining about Miss Butterfly’s own attitudes toward her new independence and the assumptions she now makes about her social status.
In short, bearing in mind the dangers of generalization, too many Japanese women are reacting to their new freedom 1'ke a long-imprisoned butterfly suddenly released from her cage.
What are tho«e attitudes and assumptions that the men find so irritating? In order to understand the conflict, we must first understand lhat Japan has always be?n a land of “gentlemen first.” It is a land where century-old traditions dictate even the smallest details of social living.
For examnle. although in “progressive" Tokyo it is not unusual to see men and women walking sided by side in the streets, other parts of Japan j
find the woman still walking a few paces behind the man. As a matter of fact, that’s how I saw Japan—walking behind.
Old Custom
This custom dates back to the days of the samurai warrior. The theory was that the samurai could always protect himself if an enemy attacked him from the front. But if the enemy wanted to attack him from the back, the samurai might not have such a good chance. But if the woman walked behind the warrior, the enemy would have to attack her first. Meanwhile, the samurai warrior would have ample warning to draw' his sword.
But now Japanese women hear about “democracy" and see American movies. Equating “democracy” with American customs. they want to be treated “the democratic way.”
“Democracy" equals American customs—this equation mrb up by Japan's feminine mathematicians is giving the Japanese men “a bad time.” Or as Taraka-san would say “dame” < pronounced da-me) which means “no good.”
In a land where with almost no exception the woman's place is in the home, the woman wants to work outside the home now. Her husband's first objection to this is that she should stay home and care for the children. His second objection is to the “independent airs" his wife takes on with her economic independence.
For example, “when people aren’t looking.” our Tanaka-san may find himself frequently cooking or washing dishes when wife-san goes to a ladies’ political meeting.
What’s Wrong
What's wrong with a ladies’ political meeting? What's wrong with making husband-san do the dishes once in a while? What's wrong with a career? American women do all these things.
That's just i‘! American women do all these things plus being treated like queers, but America is “a woman's world.” American women are given the ten treatment of women anywhere in the world.
Any European will tell you that American women “get their cake and eat it too.” In contrast, Janan is still “a rrrn's world.” and the men are not about to give it ur. Life is really nice . . . their way.

V3 Establishes Extensive Program
By CHUCK EVERETT
“To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield.”
These four ideals have been chosen as the basic declaration of purpose for the Junior Class-sponsored V3 program.
Initiated by Jim Harmon, Junior Class president, and directed by Neal Smalley, V3 has been operating from its headquarters at 30th and University Streets since early this semester.
“V" Symboli7.es Hope
“This organization has begun to resolve a problem centered in the conflict between the growing complexity of problems and a lack of desire on the part of a leader to solve them. The *V’ is symbolic of a hope for victory through our program,” Smalley says.
V3 plans to help to develop the leader with a searching examination of the problems facing the student, the university and society as a w hole.
Pertinent Questions
The question Harmon poses is: “Who and w here are the enlightened leaders for the future? They are. at least should be, the students to be found in America's colleges and universities today.”
V3 in all its activities hopes to provide a basis for the tenac-iiy and perseverance necessary for future leadership, Harmon says.
The program has been divided into three areas for emphasis on individual problems of developing the leader.
Division I of V3, under the co-

. . . president
chairmanship of Rich Gaines and Shauna Sorenson, will send student speakers out to high schools 5 and junior highs in the Southern California area to stress the ; value of higher education. Members of this division are working | on a long range schedule for these schools.
“By the spring semester Division I will send speakers varying from groups to address whole student bodies to single speakers for the classroom,” Smalley explains.
Ideas Have Influence
“O u r primary interest in reaching the high school and junior high student is the influence our ideas and expressions might have on the direction

taken by these students, says.
Division II of the V3 program is being co-ordinated by Jim Bartscherer. This division will attempt to arouse a searching examination of the problems inside and outside of the classroom.
Student Self-.Analysis
“Division II will guide a student self-analysis wrhich will result in solutions, or at least realization of problem areas, directly affecting Trojans.
“Some of the questions we hope will be answered include (1) Is individual initiative being replaced by group ‘followership’ on our campus? (2) Is student government fulfilling its purpose by helping students to meet the future? (3) Do student preju-
dices exist on campus?” Smalley
says.
Division II is - presently preparing a student value and opinion poll to be taken in the near future in an attempt to gather useful information from a cross section of university students, including independents, Rowites and commuters.
Smalley explains that the poll will “analyze independent-Row-ite cleavage on our campus and examine group differences in opportunity on an intellectual, social and political level.”
Division III Bridges Gap
The third division of V3 will attempt to fill the gap between the classroom and individual and group expression of student opinion.
Division III is under the cochairmanship of Sue Hartford and Bill Shank. The segment is interested in stimuating thought | and participation of the average student outside of the classroom.
A new type of student round table discussions is in the planning. These discussions will consider three national areas: national values, national foundations and national institutions. To be considered under key issues will be prejudice, apathy, materialism, mass media, education and government ideologies.
“Round table discussion groups will not exceed 15 to 20 students and a fecuity member or an outside authority will be invited to participate,” Smalley ! says.
In conjunction with the round table discussion, a forum series : report will be prjited to be dis-! tributed to in ter w ted students.
