By DELPHINE HIRASUNA
The anti-apartheid protest
recently aroused twinges of
nostalgia and a sigh of relief.
Though tame by '60s stan­
dards, at least the demonstra­
tion proved that students
were concerned about more
than getting a job with a For­
tune 500 company. For the
past several years, I've
wondered if today's youth
were a bunch of self-serving,
money-conscious yuppies.
Although I admit that some
causes of the '60s were naive
and some people were overzealous, at least we cared
about something more than
ourselves. I fear for a world
that does not have idealistic
youth. Certainly, we lose the
idealism too quickly anyway.
When I was in college, I
marched to end the war in
Vietnam, signed petitions for
women's liberation, and attended rallies for civil rights. I
cared intensely about the
world at large.
Once I started working, the
world issues seemed less im­
portant to me than paying the
rent and buying food. Later, I
considered some “solutions”
for world problems to be im­
practical and simplistic. Then
one day I found myself com­
plaining about “freeloaders”
using my tax dollars. Some
may say that I sold out to the
establishment, which may
be. I still champion many of
the causes I demonstrated
for the '60s, but less vocally,
more passively. My causes
are tempered with a certain
cynicism, which arrived at the
same time and eit<about the
same speed as my grey hairs.
Because I have witnessed
how my generation has
changed, I feet that it is im­
perative that young people
start out with ideals, with a
concern for their fellow man,
a commitment that is strong
enough to stand up and be
counted. (No violence, please,
however.) If they only care
about tax shelters and mort­
gage rates today, you can bet
your life that they won't give
a damn about anyone but
themselves at age 40. I have
yet to meet anyone who
grows more idealistics or al­
truistic with age.

Japanese pop singer and actor
marry on $1.12 million TV wedding

NEWLYWEDS— Seiko Matsuda and Masaki Kanda

TOKYO. — Fans screamed,
doves flew, press helicopters
whirred and millions watched
on television recently as Seiko
Matsuda, Japan's most pop­
ular singer, walked to the
altar to be married.
The local news media esti­
mated that the wedding cere­
mony for the 23-year-old Mat­
suda and 34-year-old actor
Masaki Kanda would cost 200
million yen (about $1.12-million Canadian).
Matsuda, whose songs have
led the pop charts for the
past five years, wore a wed­
ding dress and kimonos val-

ued at 100-million yen (about
$560,000 Canadian), wedding
organizers said.

Kyodo news service said
2,700 fans and 900 reporters
gathered outside a Roman
Catholic church in Tokyo.
News helicopters followed
the limousine carrying the
couple to a Tokyo hotel,
where a reception for 500 was
held.
The couple is not Catholic
but church weddings are pop­
ular in mostly Buddhist Japan.
After the ceremony, the cou­
ple released 300 doves.
