Cross-cultural dating involves respect, patience
By Mauricio Rios
Kansan staff writer
The variety of people studying at KU offers the potential for cross-cultural dating, said the assistant director of the office of international students yesterday.
During a forum on cross-cultural dating, Daphne Johnston, the assistant director, said that people's expectancy of being varied according to their cultures.
"When we meet people from other cultures we think they have the same expectations," she said to 30 people at the Pine Room in the Kansas Union.
For instance, Johnston said that U.S. citizens valued informality and individualism.
But informality and individualism may be interpreted as rude or disrespectful in another culture, she said.
"What might be positive here is not positive somewhere else," she said.
Johnston said that U.S. citizens liked to be direct when they spoke and acted.
"Some cultures may feel it is insulting to get to the point," she said.
When dealing with people from different cultures we have to put aside some values and beliefs, she said.
She said the DIE concept would help people become more sensitive in the face of climate change.
DIE stands for description, interpretation and evaluation of a situation involving couples from different cultures, Johnston said.
Hwi-ja Canda, clinical social worker at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, said that religion was a major concern in intercultural relationships.
Canda, who came from South Korea 14 years ago, said a relationship should be based on the assumption that both people were human beings.
"Do not categorize people by their color," she said. "It's important to see who a person is no matter where he comes from."
Meera Srinivasan, doctoral candidate in social welfare, agreed.
"The more stereotypes you have, the more conflicts you will end up with," she said. "It's much easier to live with stereotypes, and that's a problem."
Srinivasan, who focuses on domestic violence, emphasized the importance of being patient and understand when dealing with other cultures.
She also said that nonverbal communication told a lot about a person and that people should be respectful about these differences.
Srinivasan said that even people within the same culture were differ-
"Two Japanese people are not the same, two Uruguayans are not the same, two Americans are not the same," she said.

Mammoth lasagna will invade N.Y. university
The Associated Press
lasagna Monday
FREMONT, Neb. — How does a pasta company get ready for an assault on the world record for the largest lasagna?
It prepares a much smaller one—13 feet long, seven feet wide and with enough cottage cheese to please Garfield the pasta-loving cartoon cat.
Workers at Shade Paint Inc. in Fremont, 30 miles west of Omaha, spent two hours and 45 minutes putting together their experimental pan of
It contained 120 pounds of ground beef, 100 pounds of cottage cheese, 72 pounds of mozzarella and 14 pounds of Parmesan cheese. It also had 32 sheets of precooked lasagna and more than 360 pounds of pasta sauce.
The company aims to make the largest-ever lasagna on Oct 26. Cornell University students in Ihaca, N.Y., will prepare one measuring 71/2 foot by 631/2 feet that could feed 5,000 people, said Barbara Berry, the company's director of special projects.
A 5-foot by 50-foot pan of lasagna made in Dublin, Ireland, in May is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Tammy Bennett compared sprinkling the precooked hamburger to a fruit salad.
It took 18 layers of meat, cheese, noodles and sauce before the lasagna was finished on an outdoor grill. Work that required a lot of attention they placed heavy-duty aluminum foil over the top of the pan and barbecued the lasagna.
