The event was one of many scheduled by the association for its 14th Asia Week at the University of Kansas. The week-long celebration took place "to display our culture for people so they can be more aware;" said Rachel Li, Overland Park sophomore and Taste of Asia coordinator. The week included a lion dancing demonstration on Wescoe Beach, foreign movies, Asian karaoke origami tables, the dinner and a show Saturday night, Li said. The dinner itself was a laidback occasion, where both association members and other KU students could get together, meet new people and enjoy the variety of Asian cuisines donated by Panda Garden, 1500 W. Sixth St., Thai Siam, 601 Kasold Drive, King Buffet, 1601 W. 23rd St., the Plum Tree, 2620 Iowa St., and other student organizations on campus. The dinner included Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese and Japanese food. Yi Jia, Zhenjiang, China graduate student, said he came to meet friends and have some good Asian food. Li said the dinner, along with the whole week, was a good way for the association's 30 members to get in touch with the other Asian organizations on campus and work together on the week's events. The dinner included stewed chicken and potatoes, spring rolls, friend dumplings with curry filling, onigiri or sticky rice triangles wrapped in dried seaweed with various fillings and a special soupy dessert of tapioca, coconut milk and melons. — Edited by Vanessa Pearson After-the-storm accident T.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 5A The Star Show the Flind of Day You Have 5-Dynamic 4-Synthetic 3-Average 2-One-Black HOROSCOPES ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★★ Whether you like it or not, it is time to get back into the swing of things this Monday. You could be frustrated by others and how they relate to you. Pick and choose your words with care — all right? You don't need to cause yourself any problems. Tonight: Make it early. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ***** Visualize more of what you want from those around you. You might not be able to see the results immediately, but you can guide conversations and situations. Others create uprising. You need to dip into your ingenuity. Tonight: Act as if there is no tomorrow. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★ No matter which way you turn, you cannot win for losing. You might not know what to do with your frustration. Think "summer"; think "bath suits." Go for the healthy choice — exercise. You don't need to join the gym either; walking will work! Tonight: Anchor in. CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★ Others just might not be able to identify with what you say or your perspective. Today, the best you can do is take action with an eye to what you want. For sure, you cannot please all of the people all of the time. Tonight: Make your life work. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★ Use discretion in what you choose to do. Clearly, others want you to carry the weight or responsibility of a situation. Ultimately, you need to take care of yourself first. You need to set limits. Tonight: Find your friends. LUBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) *** Listen carefully to news that heads your way. Investigate and see what options you have. The unexpected pops out of the blue. Realize your limits and don't make a grandstand play. Right now, it will only backfire. Tonight: Quiet time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) **** You have what it takes. Listen to suggestions, but be willing to flex. Whatever you decide to do, whatever decision you make, expect a challenge. Others are unpredictable. Don't try to make sense of what is happening. Tonight. Smile away. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ Knowing what you want and getting it might not happen today. You will find that your ability to manifest gets thwarted by someone you can generally count on. Your creativity emerges, and you come up with ideas. Tonight: Find your friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★ Keep your mind on your work rather than on how things should be. Recognize that you might have to jump over your share of hurdles. Know that you can do what is necessary to hit a home run. Tonightww: Find the action. CAPIRCORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★ Your ability to detach will determine just how effective you are and how good you will feel. With information and insight, you will grow and gain. Review a situation with an eye to greater success. Tonight: Allow your mind to wander. AQUARIUS (jan. 20-Feb. 18) *** Others certainly are sure they are right, but you might not be so sure. Controversy could lose your day into chees, and quite quickly at that. Your mind and imagination add to the power of your solution-finding abilities. Tonight: Go along with another's desires. PISCES (Fab. 19-March 20) **** You unpredictability could be the source of your problems. Understand what you cannot control and possibly the ches that surrounds your footsteps. You aren't the victim. You are partially responsible for what is happening. Tonight: Say yes.
