Asian Council plans celebration
By Sarah Kitchen
Of the Enwrild
A Chinese lion dance sym
bolizing good luck, prosperity
and the absence of evil spirits
will open the second annual
Asian Celebration on Sunday at
the Lane County Fairgrounds.
"As Asians we would like to
share our culture with everyone
in the Eugene/Springfield com
munity," said Vem Ho. Asian
Celebration facilitator.
The idea for the celebration
started in 1985 when a dinner
and Asian entertainment was
held at the Eugene Hilton for a
visiting Chinese business man.
After the dinner, several peop1
decided to organize a council in
order to coordinate a similar
production for the entire
community.
The Asian Council of
Eugene/Springfield, consisting
of members of the Japanese.
Chinese, Philippine. Indone
sian. Thai, Vietnamese and
Pacific Islander communities,
has been organizing the celebra
tion for the past three months.
The purpose of the celebra
tion is to stress cultural
awareness instead of just con
centration on the political and
racial aspects of the Asian com
munity, Ho said.
“With an increase in the
Asian population to this area,
many Asians felt the need to
meet others, while at the same
time, sponsor activities to
heighten the community’s
awareness of the diverse Asian
communities residing in this
area,” Ho said.

Each of the 200 people who
participate in the celebration do
so on a volunteer basis. The
money raised from last year’s
celebration was used to produce
an Asian business directory.
Money from this year’s celebra
tion will be put toward presen
ting more Asian cultural events
such as cooking classes, and art
and dance presentations.
Between 60 to 75 percent of
the 1,542 foreign students at the
University are from Asian coun
tries, and many of these
students will participate in the
celebration.
“We have a program at the
University in which some
foreign students are receiving
schrlarship money in return for
sharing their culture,’’ said
Peter Briggs, International Ser
vices assistant director.
Some of the Asian students
who are in this program will be
working at the celebration,
either performing or cooking.
“We often get requests from
members of the community ask
ing how they could invite
foreign students to their
schools, which is how Vern
(Ho) contacted us," Briggs said.
Steve Tjokro, a University
student from Indonesia, said he
enjoys going to the various
cultural activities presented in
Eugene throughout the year and
will be going to the celebration
to see the Indonesian dancers.
Tjokro. who has been at the
University for two years, is in
terested in seeing how different
countries are represented in the
United States.
“As an Asian student, I like
to know how my country as
well as other Asian countries
will be presented at the celebra
tion,” he said.

Correction
The Oregon Daily Emerald on
Thursday incorrectly reported
that the nuclear-free zone or
dinances passed by Eugene city
and Lane County voters in
November do not prohibit
nuclear war planning.
However, section 3, paragraph
7 of the ordinance specifically
prohibits city participation in
“any civil defense population
evacuation program exclusively
intended to be implemented
upon the outbreak or threatened
outbreak of nuclear hostilities.”
