With an international student as its guide, the audience will watch a series of scenes representing Hong Kong in the present and in the past. Beginning in a residence hall room and flashing back to a 1930s Hong Kong fishing vil lage, the audience will then watch as the scenes move to a 1970s factory set ting and finally to modem-day Hong Kong.The Hong Kong Student Associa tion is hosting the sixth annual event this Sunday. By combining Chinese tra dition with entertainment, the group will use the time-travel skit as a way to take a historical look at Hong Kong. Members of the group said they want the audience to feel that they are involved in the show, while at the same time clearing up misconceptions regarding the culture in Hong Kong. David Wong, co-director of the group and a senior business major from Portland, said people often con nect Chinese culture with movies such as “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” or with action-film hero Jack ie Chan. But the night will offer the au dience a new perspective, he said. “It is important to know different cultures,” said Jasmine Lu, who has been editing-the script and directing the skit in preparation for the event. Dinner starts at 5:30 p.m. in the EMU Skylight. Participants will have an opportunity to savor typical Chi nese dishes that represent Hong Kong culture, such as sticky rice, fried noo dles and salt-baked chicken. “It’s food we’ve missed and want Eugene to try,” said Lu, a junior mar keting major from Hong Kong. Ernest Wong, director of Hong Kong Night 2001 and a junior fi nance and marketing major from Hong Kong, said this year’s commit tee began organizing two months ago — and the meetings would sometimes last for more than eight hours when trying to come up with creative ideas for the event. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. in the EMU Fir Room, fol lowed by a movie at 9:30 p.m. But Lu said the evening is not just about entertainment: She wants people to learn from the cultural night. “We want the performance to con tinue after we close our curtains,” she said. Tickets for Hong Kong Night 2001 are available for $6 at the EMU Ticket Office. Mothers Day brings bundle of joys ■ Local events can help show mom you care By Danielle Gillespie for the Emerald It’s that time of year again to show Mom how much you love and ap preciate her. Mother’s Day is Sunday and the Eugene area offers several opportunities for an event-filled weekend. The League of Women Voters will co-sponser the second annual Million Mom March, which begins Sunday af ternoon at 2:30 at the EWEB Plaza. The Million Mom March is an event organ ized to protest recent school shootings and to highlight the need for gun safety. “We believe that guns should be registered and unloaded and locked when kept in the home,” said Karen Rikhoff, the president of the League I ■■■■ of Women Voters. Eugene is the only city in Oregon to host the Million Mom March, but approximately 230 marches will be taking place at the same time across the nation. Last year, 4,000 people marched locally, and Rikhoff is ex pecting a larger turnout this year. Af ter the mile-long walk, musicians from the University will be perform ing, and informational booths will be set up with pamphlets on gun control and voting information. If mingling without the marching is more to your liking, a Mother’s Day Tea will be held Saturday and Sunday at the Campbell House, 252 Pearl St., near Skinner Butte Park. Tea time is at noon and 2:30 p.m. for both days, and the luncheon will in clude finger sandwiches, frozen mousse and scones. Six homes in the historic district will be open Sunday for tours, in cluding the Shelton McMurphy and Johnson House. The price for the luncheon is $21 for adults and $18 for children under 10, while the walking tour of the homes is free. “During the tea, expect to see a lot of hats and gloves,” said Myra Plant, owner of the Campbell House. “The attire is not required but it is a fun tra dition.” Prior registration is required and you can contact the Campbell House at 343-1119. For families looking for an out of town experience, the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport is hosting a Mother’s Day cruise Saturday at 9 a.m. and again at 11:30 a.m. The mothers will learn how to crab fish and can also take a turn steering the boat. Reserva tions are required for 9 a.m. cruise Call 541-867-3474 for information.
