Malaysian celebration
warms snowy evening
By Kim Sweet
Staff Reporter
The snow fell Saturday night, but
those in the Nebraska Union were car
ried away to a blue-skied, warm weath
er paradise - Malaysia.
Though the only blue skies and
tanned bodies present were those
shown briefly in a slide show, Dr. Van
Den Berg, adviser to the Nebraska
University Malaysian Student
Association, urged attendants to use
their imaginations.
“I was looking forward to this nice,
warm environment,” Den Berg said.
“Think of palm trees and warm weath
er.”
The 450 attendants were given
great opportunity to pretend.
Entertainment took the audience to
Malaysia, showcasing its mix of
Indian, Chinese and Malaysian cul
tures, represented with pieces like a
Chinese opera, traditional Indian
dance and the piece “Dikir Barat,”per
formed with Malay instruments.
The food also reflected Malaysia’s
diversity. Guests enjoyed authentic
fare, including Malaysian Satay beef
and Chinese pork steak.
Guests of Malaysian students were
able to fully absorb Malaysian culture,
said Posha Korber, a senior mechani
cal engineering major.
“I have a couple of friends from
Malaysia,” Korber said. “I wanted to
learn about the culture.”
NUMSA president Cheryl Benois
Marie was impressed with die turnout
The evening was delayed one half
hour to give guests a chance to arrive in
time for the festivities.
Malaysian night was the culmina
tion of months of planning by
NUMSA and organizations helping to
fund, plan and entertain.
NUMSA members had the stress
of strained economies in their country,
which caused problems raising money.
“Initially, we had problems
because our country is having eco
nomic problems,” Benois Marie said.
“We couldn’t ask for support there, so
we had to ask hoe.”
The economic strain made it diffi
cult to recruit entertainers.
“Performers were working more
hours, leaving them less time to prac
tice,” Benois Marie said.
Once the night was over, people
returned to the snowy-reality.
“It was an eye-opening excursion
into the Malaysian experience,” said
Olusegun Okubanjo, a law student
Afterwards, Okubanjo had other
things on his mind - how to get home.
‘T think I am going to cross-coun
try ski.”

Tour to combat
‘calcium crisis’
on campuses
MILK from page 1
This year is the second year for
the nationwide collegiate mustache
contest, Hyland said. The tour didn’t
visit UNL last year.
Hyland said the focus of the tour
is to educate college students about
the health benefits of drinking milk.
“A national survey found that
students leave milk behind with
Mom,” he said. “We want to let col
lege students know that they should
stilhbe drinking milk.”-';
Susan Drew, a registered dietit
ian in Chicago and UNL alumna,
said in a statement that milk is one of
the best dietary sources of calcium.
“There’s a real calcium crisis on
college campuses across the coun
try,” Drew said.
Students should drink more milk
to reduce the risk of bone injury now
and osteoporosis later in life, she
said.
“It’s healthy and you need it all
throughout life,” Hyland said, “not
just when Mom gives it to you.”
