CULTURES from page 1
Rolette Dy, a peer advisor for
Southeast Asian Student Services
and a member of the Cambodian
Student Association, said it was a
long process getting each of the
groups involved. She said the
event's program coordinators sefu
letters to the student group mem¬
bers, called them and visited them
in person to interest them in par¬
ticipating.
"We explained how important
their culture is and that they need
to show it to the mainstream
groups on campus," Dy said.
"Because they agreed with that
they decided to do it."
Dy said all the groups were
afraid to participate because they
"lacked self-esteem."
"All the groups were afraid
nobody would appreciate what
they were trying to do," Dy said.
Chou Vang, one of the coordi¬
nators of the event and member of
the Hmong Student Association,
said this year's goal was mainly to
get each of the groups to partici¬
pate.
"We wanted to bring everyone
together; we're hoping that other
groups will join us also as more
people find out about it," Vang
said.
He said another goal of the
program is to interest the young
generation in their culture so it is
not lost. Vang said that the older
generations still have some at¬
tachment to their traditions, but
the younger people often get
caught up in the "mainstream'
American culture."
Vang said he hopes that next
year there will not be as much
disagreement among the groups
about the stage decorations. He
said politics got in the way when
students chose certain decora¬
tions that represented their coun¬
tries.
Co-master of ceremonies Det
Phasakda, president of the Lao
Student Association, said every
year the program has attracted a
full house, but this year's event
was better than e^er before.

year is excellent.
"We're hoping it will be even
better next year as more people
get involved," Phasakda said.
The dances and songs pre¬
sented by each community repre¬
sented some of the ancient tradi¬
tions of their cultures.
One musician, Bee Yang,
played a Hmong instrument that
consisted of a branch of
leaves. The leaves are rolled up
and blown to produce a series of
squeaks.
Yang said the instrument was
used in Laos to communicate
across the mountains, especially
between lovers.
"Hmong people arc very gentle
and polite; they don't want to be
disturbed-if their parents found
out they were making this noise,
they could get into trouble," Yang
said.
The Vietnamese Community
Lion Dance Club was a real crowd -
pleaser;it performed a traditional
"Lion Dance" with a colorful lion
and lion-tamer.
Allofthedances,costumesand

their cultures to the public.
