Japanese overcome little brother' role speaker
By Joe Kreizinger
Japanese dependency on the United States for
economic well-being and security is not as high today as it
was in the 1950s and 60s, said Robert C. Angel, chief
executive of the Japan Economic Institute of America.
Angel addressed a group of delegates at the Japanese
United States Business Conference Monday at the Nebra
ska Center for Continuing Education. His lecture, "U.S.
Japan relations in the 80s: A Maturing Partnership," was
part of a four-day conference sponsored by UNL,
Kawasaki, and the College and University Partnership
Program.
Angel said Japan is no longer looked upon as being the
"little brother" of the United States. The United States is
increasingly dependent on foreign relations in order to
maintain good internal relations, he said.
"America can no longer remain passive in foreign
relations," Angel said. "The United States has to get down
to business in the 80s and learn how to sell its products
abroad."
Angel said Japan would be the "most attractive" target
for overseas trade in the future.
Angel said there could be periods of increased friction
between the two nations in the 1980s as their free-world
partnership matures.
One cause for this increased friction could be gen-

ensure a thorough investigation was conducted regarding

erational changes, Angel said. He said some Americans still
expect Japan to play the minor role in U.S.Japanese
relations.
Ruffled feathers
"Today's Japan will have a more assertive position in
economics," he said. This could ruffle the feathers of
some Americans."
Angel said the diversification in Japanese political part
ies could also cause some unrest among Americans. He
said the differing views of newly-formed political parties
could frustrate Americans who have come to understand a
more "standard" Japanese policy.
Angel said Japanese people are demanding a higher
standard of living than before. He said the Japanese goal
in the 1950s and 1960s was expressed as a "catch up"
policy - to become economically equal with the standard
of living in some of the less prosperous European
countries. In the 1970s, the Japanese goal was to catch up
with the American standard of living, which, Angel said,
they have succeeded in doing.
Language problem
Angel said a major problem between the two nations is
the inability to effectively communicate in each others'
native language.
"It is difficult for Americans to make rational decisions
in dealing with the Japanese when they cannot speak or
read their language " Angel said.
He said too few Americans trained in the Japanese
language are now working on Japanese-American
relations. He said Americans need to improve their ability
to deal with the Japanese in the Japanese language.
A more effective cross-campus program between
American and Japanese colleges and universities could
lessen some of this burden Angel added.
In addition, Muhammad said some inmates are receiv
ing threats on their lives because other inmates believe
they are "snitches" (those who report on other inmates to
administrative officials).
In regard to the stabbings, Muhammad suggested a list
of 15 recommendations ranging from firing Mason and
Hoffman to reviewing internal investigative procedures.
Benson accepted four of Muhammad's recommenda
tions, inlcuding the review of management techniques and
internal investigative procedures used at the penitentiary.

Grant received to build Lincoln park
courts, Sterkel said.
The park will also have restrooms, walking and bike
paths, picnic tables and grills, Sterkel said.
The construction will close a few side streets, creating
cul-de-sacs for off-street parking, he said.
The proposal is under review for final approval. Bids on
the plans will be let within a month, Sterkel said. Weather
permitting, preliminary grading may begin this fall.
The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is a liaison
between the city, state and federal government in
coordinating and funding the project, Sterkel said.
The old school buildings and wooden structures at
40th and Cleveland streets will be transformed into a one-and-a-half-block
city park by summer, said Marty Sterkel,
federal aid administrator of the Nebraska Game and Parks
Commission.
The game and parks commission received a $100,000
federal grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior
Land and Water Conservation Fund, matching funds by
the Nebraska Legislature and city of Lincoln.
The grant will finance the landscaping, lighting and
construction of a playground, Softball field and multi
purpose court which includes basketball and tennis
