Hong Kong

Hong Kong’s middle class, Co-Di
rector Wilbur Lee said.
University student Tomoko Shi
mazaki said that because she is an in
ternational student at the University
who just recently came from Japan,
she has been missing Chinese food.
“The Chinese food in Eugene is
good, but this meal is so much bet
ter,” she said.
Lee said HKSA had some of their
ingredients for the food imported
from Vancouver, British Columbia,
Seattle and Hong Kong.
"There are some places in Port
land to buy the ingredients we
needed, but it’s much more expen
sive and harder to find,” Lee said.
“We actually had some of our mem
bers ask their parents in Hong Kong
to send us ingredients.”
After the dinner, 11 HKSA mem
bers performed the play “Wedding
Invitation.” Suet Chan and Gary Lau
play the married couple; their charac
ters’ names in the play, Ar Ping and
Sun-To, are derived from their own
real Chinese names. The play begins
with the couple’s 50th anniversary
and takes a glimpse into their past.
“The play is supposed to repre
sent different periods of history in
Hong Kong, Chinese traditions and
cultural perspectives specifically re
lated to Hong Kong,” HKSA public
relations officer Winnie Leung said.
Leung said in Hong Kong, tradi
tionally, the groom’s parents pay for
the wedding’s costs — in this play,
the groom comes from a poor family,
while the bride’s family is wealthy.
“The groom in the play can sim
ply not afford the kind of wedding
that the bride’s family is asking for,
and this is a common problem in
the Chinese culture,” Leung said.
Leung said the attire in the play also
represents Chinese traditions. The
bride wears a red wedding dress be
cause the color means good luck, and
is often worn in special occasions.
HKSA member Macy Chan sang
“Sweet, Sweet Love,” which is a
traditional love song about a girl
serenading a boy she just met.
“The feeling of the song is very
sweet, and I chose it because my
performance comes after the scene
when the couple is quarreling,” she
said. “After I perform, the couple
forgives each other.”
Chan said although the song has
the tone of an innocent young girl,
she portrays the traditional female
singer found in Chinese night clubs.
HKSA members Kevin Gui,
Jonathan Fung and Julian Fok per
formed a rap number, “1127,” in
the play. The song is a dedication to
Bruce Lee, and the numbers, 1127,
indicate the date of his death.
“Bruce Lee is famous in Hong
Kong, and this is a fun song that
tells us that we should not look
down upon ourselves,” Fung said.

Ballot
continued from page 1
“The only adverse effect that I see
on the plaintiffs here is political, and
not legal,” Velure said. “The only
thing they will be deprived of would
be winning an election by default.”
Candidates Jim Hale in Ward 5 and
Kurt Thelen in Ward 6 filed the law
suit Monday, arguing that three can
didates should be booted from the bal
lot for collecting signatures before
turning in other required documents.
City rules and state law require can
didates to file two documents and re
ceive approval of signature forms be
fore they can begin collecting
signatures backing their nominations.
Defendants were Ward 5 candi
date Gary Pape; Ward 6 candidates
Jennifer Solomon and Frank Wiley;
Annette Newingham, a Lane Coun
ty elections official; and City
Recorder Kathleen Fieland.
Hale criticized the decision but
said he didn’t expect to appeal be
fore the election.
“I’ll start campaigning,” he said.
While leaving the courtroom,
Solomon and Pape said they were
pleased with the decision and
planned to launch their campaigns.
“This has removed any cloud
over my campaign,” Solomon said.
“The city council and the city de
serve leaders and not litigants.”
The controversy began when
Fieland gave inconsistent advice that
led some candidates to collect signa
tures before turning in other required
forms, Fieland said during the hour
she spent on the witness stand.
Fieland said she decided to waive
city rules that govern the filing of
election materials and place the can
didates on the ballot. Those candi
dates included David Kelly in Ward
3 and Kevin Wells in Ward 4, in ad
dition to Pape, Solomon and Wiley.
“They had completely followed
my oral instructions,” Fieland said.
“To eliminate them from the ballot, I
thought, would be unjust.”
But Spinney argued that
Fieland’s decision violated a state
law that requires election officials
to review signature sheets before
they are circulated, a law intended
to ensure that the sheets indicate
whether or not signature gatherers
are paid. Attorneys for the defense
countered that another state law al
lows local governments to fine tune
election filing procedures.
Nonetheless, Velure said he was
n’t required to decide the legal issue
because Hale and Thelen were not
legally harmed by the city’s actions.
After the decision, Fieland shook
hands with the three council candi
dates named in the suit, smiled at
them and told them to “enjoy the
campaign.”
