"It is a chance to see people that we haven't seen in a long time." In one traditional skit, a kitchen god wear a large hat and a purple robe报rebed to the king on the KU Vietnamese Club. Tung Nguyen, club president, said that the Vietnamese New Year actually began on Feb. 17 but that celebrating the holiday on Saturday made it possible for people to celebrate with their families later. The report was full of sarcasm and humor, Tung said, and made fun of the traditional kitchen god who guards kitchens and reports to heaven every year on Dec. 23. Tung said that the club invited people from Wichita, Manhattan and the Kansas City metro area to the "We came because we've celebrated the New Year (Jan. 1) and feel we should celebrate our own," said Phuong Nguyen, Allen, Texas. In a traditional "fan dance," several women flowed across the stage waving paper and hand-made fans. At one point during the dance, the women, who were dressed in traditional South Vietnamese gowns, formed a spinning wheel of red, white and black.
