TUJ students keeping calm in Japan quake's aftermath

Classes at Temple University, Japan Campus, have been suspended until March 28. Yesterday, about 80 students gathered in the dormitories on the campus in Tokyo. Kyle Cleveland, a sociology professor at TUJ, called the meeting to answer questions and update the students. "They were remarkably calm," Cleveland said of the Temple students. "I was impressed with how mature they are." Cleveland, who earned his Ph.D. from Temple, founded Temple's Institute of Contemporary Asian Studies and has lived in Japan for the last 20 years. Today Tokyo is quiet, he said. "There was a round of short-term panic shopping for eggs, milk and bread. But I was at Costco today and there was lots of food available."
