general public and to Nebraska high school
teachers through the efforts of the Far
Eastern Institute. The institute, directed
by Robert K. Sakai of the University De
partment of History is now in its second
year.
Second Year on NV Campus
nstitute'g Topics? From Art To
Politics
"We aren't trying to make
specialists," Dr. Robert K.
Sakai emphasized as he ex
plained the program and de
velopment of Nebraska's Far
Eastern Institute.
The Institute, now in its
second year, is designed to
give high school teachers a
background for teaching his
tory, geography and social sci
ences courses which are con
cerned with the Far East, he
said.
Sakai added that the second
aim of the program was to
give a general knowledge of
the Far East to non-teachers.
The courses around which the
Institue is centered are open
to all students, he said.
The Institue also presents
a scries of films dealing with
the Far East which are open
to the public.
Three Guest Speakers

bring two guest speakers and
one guest faculty member to
the University, Sakai said.
The Far Eastern Institute
grew out of i "general con
cern with the lackof instruc
tion" about the Far East in
Nebraska high schools, he
said.
The University's concern
was met by the concern of
the Asia Society, the Japan
Society and the Asia Founda
tion, he said, and the Institute
was the result.
National Program
The University program is
not unique, he explained. Sim
ilar plans have been devel
oped for some 35 other col
leges and universities, with
the number participating in
creasing each year, he said.
The basis of the Institute
is four courses, two from the
Department of History and
two from the Department of
Political Science. All are open
to all students and are a
part of the regular Univer
sity curriculum, according to
Sakai. '
Two of the courses are
seminars which are given
special emphasis on the Far
East during the Summer Ses
sions, he explained. The oth
ers deal with the Far East
throughout the year but are
Dresented in connection with
the rest of the program of in
formation-on tne rar &ast
during the summer.

film of an Indian village, has
"excellent direction,. with hu
mor and charm," Sakai said.
It lasts 15 minutes. The lat
ter, a 26-minute film, is a
documentary of the life of
Gandhi taken "from news
reels of the past 40 years."

Sakai said.

ations of an Indonesian and
his efforts to better his con
dition and to help his coun
try's economic development,"
according to Sakai. "Mala

fain forests of Malaya, dis
cusses the country's "stra
tegic importance with respect
to world trade," he said. The
first film lasts 30 minutes,
the latter 14, he added.
The final film in the series,
"Ugetsu," will be presented
Wednesday, July 27. The 96
minute film tells "a story
which takes place in 16th
century Japan and is con
cerned with the disillusion
ment of the fulfillment of de
sire," Sakai said. This movie
won the Silver Lion award at
the Venice Film Festival in
1954, he added,.
No Admission Charged
All of the fils are free of
charge to the general public,
Robert K. Sakai
he continued. They will be

The movies are presented
with the cooperation of the Bu
reau of Audio-Visual Instruc
tion. "The films have been care
fully selected for their instruc
tional value as well as for
photographic excellence, and
mended for teachers of his
tory, geography and social
sciences," according to Sakai.
Each year the Institute pre
sents eight $200 fellowships to
Nebraska teachers to enable
them to attend the Institute
and take courses under its di
rection. Standards High
Sakai noted that the high
qualifications of the teachers
to whom the awards were giv
en this year was indicative
of the increasing response to
the program of the Far East
ern Institute. Last year, he
added, some of the awards
were given to teachers not
teaching on the high school
level. All awards this year
went to experienced high
school teachers.
Kazuo Kawai, a former Ja
panese newspaper editor and
the third World Affairs Pre
view speacker for the 1960
Summer Sessions, is being
brought to this campus by the
Summer Session office and the
Far Eastern Institute. He will
speak to the general public at

will be a guest lecturer in the
Department of History.
Later this summer, Sakai
said, another speaker will be
brought to the University to
lecture on Oriental art and
culture. This man, he said, is
being presented in coopera
tion with the University Art
Department.

room work the Institute tries
to make special material

room, he said.

a great deal of the material
