Editor's note: The following interview
was conducted in Mandarin Chinese.
Do you want to try a new way to get
physically fit and healthy? How about Taiji
quan? Taijiquan (Tai-ji-quan) for Lincol
nites, is quite a new name. But it's a name
representing one kind of martial arts or
kung fu familiar to Chinese.
It's a popular exercise in China today
with about two-thirds who exercise Taiji
quan over 40 years old, said Grace Cheng,
30, instructor of Taijiquan at the University
of Nebraska-Lincoln campus. But in Amer
ica, she said she thinks Taijiquan is familiar
only to people in big cities.
Taijiquan originated during the Chirn
Dynasty in China, from 221 B.C. to 207 B.C.,
and was used for fighting battles, she said.
According to the Taijiquan theory, those
who practice it can train themselves to have
a quiet motion and tranquil mind in coordi
nation with continous body movements. The
hands, eyes, body and limbs are in perform
ance with the waist functioning as an axis
and the legs as the base for every move
ment. "You never act like a puppet," Ms. cheng
interpreted from the theory book.
Ms. Cheng taught Taijiquan in Shanghai
from 1979 to 1982 before she came to Amer
ica in December.
At eight-years-old, she started learning
Taijiquan from her grandfather, but, be
tween 1965 and 1975, she had to stop learning
because of Communists rule.
On the average she practices half an
hour everyday.
Ms. Cheng said it takes at least two years
for a learner to really understand Taijiquan.
The movements stimulate certain areas
of the brain that are responsible for actions
and relieve another area of the brain that
commmands memory and reading.

The Lincoln Board of Education decided
Tuesday that salaries and benefits for prin
cipals and other Lincoln Public Schools ad
ministrators will go up by 7.25 percent for
the coming school year.
The increase includes a 5.9 percent in
crease in wages, plus increases in insurance
and other benefits, including an annuity
plan.
Taijiquan is effective in curing and pre
venting nervous and mental diseases, high
blood pressure and stomach aches.
Moreover, regular practice of Taijiquan
increases both the supply of blood to coro
nary arteries and lung capacity, and
strengthens both the heart and lung tissue
elasticity.
Ms. Cheng, who is a graduate student in
music, will teach a simplified Taijiquan
class, to be offered by the recreation depart
ment during the second-five week summer
session.
Anyone interested in the class should
contact the recreation department at 472-0601.
The board earlier settled with Lincoln
teachers for a 7.5 percent increase.
By the schedule adopted Tuesday, build
ing administrators' pay will range from a
low of $26,800 per year for a beginning
assistant principal in an elementary school
to a high of $43,622 for a high school princi
pal with three or more years in that
position.
