Festival touts Chinese culture
Films, crafts and music highlight five-day event
By Heather Anderson Kansan staff writer
Students will have the opportunity to learn about China and its food and music during the five-day Chinese Culture Festival that began last night.
Student Senate and the Consulate General of the People's Republic of China in Chicago are sponsoring the festival.
During the opening ceremonies last night at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union, Zhang Mujin, consult from the Chicago organization, said he thanked the University of Kansas and the community for sponsoring the event.
A festival like this helps develop friendship and a mutual understanding between China and the United States, he said.
Mayor Bob Walters said it was especially important to understand other cultures because of the global economy.
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said the festival gave students a chance to gain tolerance and understanding of a culture that was different from their own.
Jun Bao, president of the Chinese Student and Scholar Friendship Association, said students could benefit from the festival because they could learn much about Chinese culture.
He said many students showed interest in Chinese customs during other international conferences.
Bao said he thought that students needed
all five days to get a good understanding of Chinese traditions, religion, food and music.
This is the first time the group has organized the festival, but he said he hoped it would become an annual event.
There will be a Tibetan arts and crafts exhibition from 10.a.m. to 5.p.m. today at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.
On Saturday, the friendship association members will demonstrate different aspects of Chinese culture during the Chinese food and craft fair in the Lawrence High School parking lot. There also will be traditional music, Kung Fu and opera performances. Admission to the craft fair is $2.
In conjunction with the festival, 33 documentary films will be shown for free from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Tuesday through Friday at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
"My name's Roseanne, and I'm an incest survivor."
The Associated Press
With those words, actress Roseanne Arnold has joined a growing number of public figures who, by breaking years of the silence surrounding her devastation of childhood sexual abuse into the open.
Public figures break silence about incest
"It takes a tremendous amount of courage to come forward," said Marilyn Van DerBaler, a former Miss America who went public in May about her experiences with incest. "We've been silent for a long time, we can stand to allow without shame."
Arnold, the 38-year-old star of television's "Roseanne," spoke out before an audience of 1,100 tearful victims and therapists Saturday at a conference on incest in Denver.
But since spring, when Alter appeared on the cover of People magazine, rumblings have become a revolution. More and more young women are coming forward with stories than ever before.
In addition to Atler and Arnold, talk show host Oprah Winfrey, singer LaToya Jackson and former Son. Paula Ware have said publicly that they were sexually abused as children.
"The movement to dispel the
myths has really exploded," said Susan Forward, a therapist whose specially includes sexually abused people.
When I published 'Betrayal of Innocence' in 1979, I was out there hanging on doors, but I couldn't get anybody to talk me forward. said "For a long time, it was terrally lonely road."
The ugly and uncomfortable reality was long evaded. But statistics indicate one in four girls and one in seven boys are sexually abused by age 18, according to the National Committee for the Prevention of Child Abuse in Chicago.
