WFAE 90.7 FM Is inviting lis
teners and friends to join the
station staiff In celebrating its
first Friendralser, a variation of
the annual spring fundraiser.
Beginning Monday, April 4. 'the

chance to call 549-9700 and join
the station as contributors at
whatever level they are able.
WFAE has a goal of 2,250 donors
for the week-long drive.
The friendraising approach to
raising money is consistent with
the station's philosophy, says
development director Andrea
Cooper. "We create programs
for people, not profit. Tliat's why
it's called public radio. By
counting people rather than
money, we're telling our listen
ers how Important each of them
is. We want to emphasize, not
how much people give us, but
the fact that they give us what
they can. For some people
that's going to be $10; for some
people, $500."
Premiums will be offered to
contributors at specific levels,
with $30 set as the basic sub
scription rate. Each $30 donor
will get a bumper sticker, bi
monthly program guide, and a
subscriber card which is good
for discounts at area business
es. WFAE has some enticing
premiums for donors at higher
levels, including WFAE mugs,
tickets to a party at Jonathan's
Uptown, a $20 discount at New
World Records, day sponsor
ships, and, for a $500 gift, dinner
for 2 at the Speedway Club.
AVFAE staff members are invit
ing listeners to help host the
Friendralser by signing up now
for volunteer shifts during the
event. Both old friends and new
comers can schedule a few
hours to answer telephones or

Charlotte - "Metamorphoses -
Works in Situ", a major new In
stallation by Daniel Buren, will
be on view In Spirit Square's
Knight Galleiy March 11 - April
23. Buren, an Internationally-
known French conceptual artist,
will present a free, slide lecture
at 7 p.m. on the evening of the
opening of Noah Studios. 219 N.
Graham Street.
This exhibit will consist of
modular units of striped materi
als attached to a wooden frame
work creating an enterable
structure. One unique quality
about this exhibit is that Buren
allows each work to take its
shape from the exhibition site.
The exhibit will be accompanied
by "Graphic Sketches" that Bur
en uses to clarify his ideas be
fore executing his construction,
allowing the viewer to gain some
understanding of buren's crea
tive process.
Daniel Buren has exhibited his
work internationally since 1965.
While representing France, he
won the award for Best Pavilion
at the 42nd Biennade in Venice,
Shogun from page 3C
polytheistic folk religion where
natural objects, historical fig
ures and even gods of other re
ligions have been enshrined
into a harmonious amalgama
tion. Each rural village main
tains at least one shrine of its
own which is the center of activ
ity.
These villages are many times
bound by the community effort
Involved in cultivating rice, as
they have been since the 10th
century, when most of the Japa
nese people worked hard in the
rice fields and the elite few lived
in opulence. This group activity
throughout Japan's history has
formed the basis of many mod
em Japanese characteristics,
evolving into the group decision
making process that is at the
heart of Japanese business
methods and success.
The second episode, "The
Sword and the Chrysanthe
mum," explores two paradoxical
elements of the Japanese cul
ture and psyche - the ruthless
martial arts practiced by the Sa
murai and Ninja warriors and
highly stylized tea ceremony
and its resulting aesthetics.
The loth century saw the rise
of the warrior class, whose pow
er began in the provinces, but
slowly came to control the capi
tal and the court. This install
ment of the series demonstrates
how this warrior spirit affected
the treatment of Allied prison
ers during World War II and still
influences many aspects of Jap
anese business behavior today.
In contrast, the beautiful, ritu
alistic tea ceremony shaped
other areas of Japanese culture,
such as temple and garden de
sign and contributed to the
creation of the rigidly stratified
social structure, which places
vast Importance on collective
responsibility.
The third episode, 'The Legacy
of the Shoguns." documents Ja
pan's evolution from one of the
last feudal societies on earth to
a global military and economic
power in an amazingly short
period of time. Until a century
ago, Japan was still one of the
most Isolated nations in the
world and had developed one of
the most sternly controlled so
cieties in the history of man.
The program examines how
the society developed so quickly
and how the Japanese continue
to absorb outside Influences so
rapidly and easily, while still
maintaining the integrity of
their native culture.
The series concludes with "A
Thursday, March 31, 1988 - TOE CHARLOTTE POST- Page 7C
Proper Place in the World,"
which focuses on the political
and economic factors leading up
to the attack on the U.S. military
installation on Pearl Harbor
during World War II. This action
brought the United States into
the war.
The episode traces the Japa
nese buildup for war emd the af
termath of Japan's defeat and
discusses the peoples' attitudes
towards the United States in the
wake of the atomic bombings of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki in
1945. A look at Gen. George Ma-
cArthur's reforms after the war
Illustrate how the benign U.S.
occupation led to and fostered
Japan's rapid economic growth.
The program ends with an ex
amination of recent accusations
that Japan has used Illegal
techniques. Including Industrial
espionage, to boost its own
economy. How much of Japan's
recent economic growth has
been based on underhanded
tactics and how much is based
on producing the right product
at the right time is the central
issue to addressed.
The Land of the Rising Sun is a
nation that will increasingly be
come a major factor in interna
tional affairs.
