Meredith Relph Kansan staff writer When Ruyardy Kipling wrote that never the twin of East and West shall meet, he has not experienced the Chinese Youth Goodwill Mission. Hoch Audium became an arena for cultural exchange yesterday when a group of Chinese students had traditional dances and songs. the performers, all students from universities in Taiwan, traced eras of Chinese history through the its part. The students were forced to origination from the Western audience. Ancient mythological battles and court dances from the Tang Dynasty demonstrated classical Chinese culture, while a picture of a island life in Taiwan humorously portrayed the ancient warriors who transcends any language. From the opening Dragon Dance to the enthusiastic modern dance diplope, the dancers overcome cultural barriers of language and custom and showed that ones opposite sides of need not differ in basic expressions. The dancers used few props, relying instead on elaborate, vivid costumes to punctuate their stories. The performance also incorporated martial arts with a kung fu demonstration to show martial arts as a form of Chinese exercise. Nine types of martial art movements were shown as expressions of grace and dexterity, not of violence as the Americanized conception paved 'rav' the艺. Sheng Chung-Hao, a dancer in the troupe, said the closing number provided a link with which Westerners could easily identify. "We wear red, white and blue costumes to show the colors of the United States and also the colors of the national flag for the Republic of China." He said the closing music also incorporated a more traditional Western beat, and the dance itself came from the traditional performances. This was Chung Hao's first trip with the Goodwell Mission, which has been promoting the cultural exchange since 1974. The dancers are between 18 and 25 years old and are chosen through auditions at their universities. The 16 who were chosen begin intensive training in 20 of these performances this fall before to their studies in Taiwan.

Police arrest two men on drug-related charges By a Kansan reporter Lawrence police arrested two loca- men and seized a lump of cocaine about the size of tennis ball Thursday afternoon, Lawrence police said. R. John D. Kelly, 36, 827 Michigan St. 9-A, made a first appearance in the "Dallas Cowboys" day on drug related charges. Douglas County District Court Judge Michael Mallone set bail for Daly at $2,000 and scheduled a preliminary hearing. A 19 year-old man who also has been arrested was released Friday afternoon. Chris Mulvenon, Lawrence police spokesman, said officers from the city-county drug unit were acting on a tip from the Los Angeles police department with the cooperation of a package delivery company. Mulvenon said he did not know whether the men had received similar shipments in the past or where their police had obtained their information. The Los Angeles police notified local officials that a shipment of cocaine was coming to Lawrence through the delivery company about five hours before the arrests were made. Mulvenon said Lawrence officers obtained a search warrant and the suspect was then followed the cocaine shipment as it was delivered to the men's apartment. Interpretor provides signs from Heaven Bv Craig Welch Kansan staff writer The congregation of the First United Methodist Church beard Pastor Virgil Brady's 11 a.m. service yesterday with their eyes as well as their ears. All eyes were on Susan Jansen, an interpreter for the deaf, who translated the hour-long service. "The songs are always the hardest to do." Jansen said. "I want the deaf people to know when a word is being held over, so I try to stretch them out along with the choir." Jansen's ballet-like movements gave life to songs that otherwise would have gone unheard by her. "We have a couple in our congregation who are both hearing impaired, and we have a family whose daughter is hearing impaired. The family needs an interpreter, but the couple may be possible need for an interpreter," Brady said. Jansen, who also interprets at Johnson County All eyes were on Susan Jansen, an interpreter for the deaf, who translated the hour-long service, hymns and all, into sign language. Community College, 12348 College Blvd. in Leneka, wished to provide ministry for the hearing of the Deaf. Yesterday was her first service at the church, 946 Vermont St. Bok Kendall, associate pastor, said a church group spoke with the deaf community at the University of Kansas and in Lawrence and found that a definite need existed. Kendall said none of the people he had approached in Lawrence were capable of handling a service that long. He had worked with Jansen before and contacted her for the job. "It's not bad at all," Jansen said. "When I first started doing this, I'd be exhausted after ten minutes. But at Johnson County Community College, I've had to interpret classes for as long as three hours. The only hard part is keeping my concentration level up." She said when she first began signing, she tired easily. Now she is used to signing for long periods Jansen is scheduled to interpret for the church through December. She said she hoped the program would open the eyes of many hearing groups of the church as well as attract the deaf community. "A lot of people are surprised that deaf people are capable of functioning normally. They say, 'you mean deaf people can read' or 'I didn't know they could drive a car.'" Jarsen said Kendall said he did not estimate an expected increase in the church's 1,400 member congregation. The plan, he said, was to continue with the program and simply hope for a positive reaction.
