She said considering the rough
backgrounds some of the boys in the
home come from, she never expect
ed anything like this to happen, “but
you always worry about it.”
“Considering the number of
boys there at the time, you wouldn’t
think it was possible.”
The seven boys currently in the
house hadn’t had time to discuss the
news, Beggs said, but she was plan
ning to get them all together later
Thursday evening.
“We’re all in a state of shock
right now,” she said. “They all liked
him.”
And even after Hopkins’confes
sion to police and herself, she still
held faith that her “son” was inno
cent
“He was somebody we liked and
enjoyed having around,” she said.
“Even if he did do it, and it sounds
like it could be possible, we certain
ly won’t desert him.”

■ The Chinese celebration
will promote an
atmosphere of unity.
By Gregory P. Krafka
Staff Reporter
Those looking to experience new
cultures will want to make sure they
attend the annual Chinese Mid
Autumn Festival, the second biggest
event of the Chinese calendar year.
The festival, sponsored by the
Chinese Student and Scholar
Association, will be from 4:30 p.m.
to 10:30 p.m. Sunday af\Trago Park,
22nd and U streets.
Fuming Zheng, president of the
CSSA, said this year’s festival will
retain the elements that have con
tributed to its popularity over the
years, like an atmosphere of togeth
erness.
The festival will feature two big
lanterns made in the shapes of ani
mals as well as moon cakes, he said.
These delicacies, made with flour
and sweet fillings of nuts, mashed
red beans, lout seeds and Chinese
dates, will be available to adventur
ous eaters. Additional foods being
offered include fried rice and noo
dles, barbecued chicken wings, pork
and hot dogs.
The event will also offer activi
ties like volleyball, tug of war and a
water balloon toss. Following the fes
tival, a Chinese movie will be aired at
the UNL Culture Center, Zheng said.
The upcoming festival has been
celebrated in different ways over its
long history.
The origin of the festival is uncer
tain, but the most popular legend
dates back to the Hsia Dynasty
(2205-1818 B.C.).
According to this legend, a beau
tiful woman named Chang-0 stole an
elixir from her husband that would
ensure her youth, and make her
immortal. When she swallowed the
elixir, she ascended to the moon.
Although her youth and beauty were
preserved, Chang-0 was doomed to
n
stay there forever.
During the Tang dynasty, 618
906 A.D., the festival was made an
official holiday because of the
moon’s importance to Chinese farm
ers. The moon was a timepiece
reminding them when to plant and
harvest their crops.
Because of this, in times of wor
ship the Chinese have given special
attention to the moon.
When China was ruled by the
Mongolian people during the Yuan
dynasty, 1280-1368 A.D., the unhap
py Chinese population organized a
rebellion. The rebels communicated
with each other through messages
hidden inside special cakes - later
called moon cakes.
On the night of the moon festival
the rebels overthrew their foreign
rulers. The Chinese eat moon cakes
in remembrance of this event.
Today, the festival is celebrated to
recognize the importance of family
unity. It is a day in which families
gather together and hope for a better
life. Lanterns, symbolizing good
luck, happiness and prosperity, are
made in the shape of animals and
hung on houses or carried by chil
dren.
In addition to hosting the annual
Mid-Autumn Festival, the CSSA
offers many opportunities to Chinese
students.
Practical problems that the orga
nization helps to solve include hous
ing and family conflicts. The organi
zation helps adapt students to
American culture, while at the same
time retaining Chinese culture and
values. Zheng said the three stated
goals of the CSSA are:
■ To enrich cultural life of
Chinese students.
■ To enhance relationships
between Chinese students.
■ To promote friendships
between Chinese students and
American students.
