Mark Chotimongkol hopes that the Asian- American Festival, which runs through March 16, will explode stereotypes. Speakers defy stereotypes By Susanna Löfh Kansan staff writer "People can attend the events and learn that Asian Americans aren't just one group," he said. "We're not all the same." Chotimongkol, Dodge City senior and vice president of Asian-American Student Union, said another stereotype was that anybody with an Asian appearance was a foreigner. But the people asking such questions aren't trying to be mean, Chotimongkol said. And instead of getting angry, he usually takes the opportunity to educate them. Chotimongkol hopes the festival also will educate people about false stereotypes. The first event of the festival will be a lecture about Roger Shimomura's art at 7 tonight in the Spencer Museum of Art. The festival also will include a lecture by Hung Liu, a Chineseborn artist who teaches at Mills College in Oakland, Calif., and a speech by Stephanie Nishikawa, a broadcast, journalist for WDAF in Kansas City, Mo. William Lew, professor of art at the University of Northern Iowa, will give a lecture called Reflecting on Teachings of Roger Shimomura at 7 tonight in the Spencer Museum of Art. Asian American Festival Activities Stephanie Nishikawa, a reporter for WDAF-TV in Kansas City, Mo., will speak at 7 tonight Friday at the Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Hung Liu, professor of fine arts at Mills College in Oakland, Calif., will speak at 7 p.m. Monday at the Spencer Museum of Art. Here and Now, a nonprofit Asian-American theater company, will present a show about aspects of Asian-American life at 8 p.m. March 16 at the Kansas Union Ballroom. The programs will fight stereotypes by providing information about issues faced by Asian Americans. But Chotimongkol said the presenters themselves also will counteract stereotypes. The Asian-American Festival has been a tradition at the university since 1991. Julia Lu, president of the Asian-American Student Union and Wichita sophomore, said the festival made people aware of the Asian-American experience. Making the major decision Undecided students receive advice about choosing a major By R. Adam Ward Kansan staff writer Students who are undecided about their field of study got a chance to shop for majors yesterday. Majors represented at the fair ranged from African studies to geology. A Majors Fair, sponsored by the Student Senate University Affairs Committee, was held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Kansas Union. The event represented about 20 majors, and an estimated 200 students attended, said Jamie Johnson, committee chairman and Lenexa junior. "The fair was started to give students the opportunity to have representatives of different departments tell them how to become involved and prepared." Johnson said. Mohamed El-Hodiri, professor of economics, said not many students had come by his table but those who did asked good questions. NATURALWAY NATURAL FIBER CLOTHING But some of the representatives at the fair were unhappy with the student turnout at the event. Read Stapleton, Buffalo, N.Y., senior, who was at the environmental studies table, said only a few students had shown up. The poor turnout could have been due to lack of advertising or the cold weather. Stapleton said But the students who were there were enthusiastic about the event. Jacinta Carter, Omaha, Neb., senior, said it was a good idea, and she wished she had found out about it when she was a freshman or a sophomore. "People take one class and decide to major in something, then they take another and decide they don't like it and change their major," Carter said. "This fair helps people make a solid decision." - 820-822 MASS. * 841-0100* NATURAL WS • NATURAL BODY CARE Don't let this spring leave you broke and left out of all the fun.
