Audience to travel back in time
■ Hong Kong Night 2001
will offer fresh perspectives
on Chinese culture
By Lisa Toth
Oregon Daily Emerald
During Hong Kong Night 2001, an
audience of about 180 people will
take a trip back in time.
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
