Festival to celebrate Japanese culture ByDaneStickney Staff writer The land of the rising sun has set its sights on the Nebraska Union. The eighth annual Japan Festival will be Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the Centennial Room. Martial arts and tea ceremonies will be among the day’s activities. All the events will be free except for food and merchandise. Ryoko Sasaki-Shuss, who teaches Japanese and founded the UNL festival, said a key part of the celebration would be a panel discussion that will take place from 1 to 3 p.m. The panel consists of a group of professors and people familiar with Japanese culture. It will discuss politi cal, diplomatic and economic relations between Japan and the United States. iceirvn nmin/lao on tunity for the students to participate with the scholars. Any student who is studying in any Asian or Oriental field should attend,” Sasaki-Shuss said. Demonstrations in Japanese mar tial arts, traditional Japanese dances and flower arrangements will fill the time before and after the panel discus sion. Traditional tea ceremonies will be at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. in the Colonial Room. The Global Friends of Japan will sponsor an Autumn Festival at 5:30 p.m. in the Centennial Room. The festi val will feature a Bon Dance and booths, which will be selling various foods and art The festival, bom of a class celebra tion, was founded as a way to celebrate Japanese culture and bring people inter ested in Japan together. In 1992, after a donation from Lincoln’s Kawasaki Motor Manufacturing plant to build a Japan centered reading room in Oldfather Hall, the festival has focused on honor ing Kawasaki for its contribution to UNL and the Japanese culture. Since the Kawasaki donation, the festival has grown considerably. Thursday, students working at the street stalls will be painting names and teach ing Japanese calligraphy. They also will be demonstrating and selling origami, the ancient art of paper folding. Sasaki-Shuss also said the festival provides her students with an opportu nity to get a first-hand experience of Japanese culture. “You can talk about the food and the dancing but until they experience it, they cannot fully understand. Many people don’t have an opportunity to go to Japan, so this festival brings the Japanese culture to them.” Couple in abuse case to face arraignment ■ Francisca Pleines and Vernon Hayes said they beat Pleines’22 month-old son shortly before he died. By Josh Funk Senior staff writer Francisca Pleines and her live in boyfriend Vernon Hayes say they beat Pleines’ 22-month-old son hard enough that his head “sounded like a bowling ball bouncing on concrete” when it hit the floor. The boy, Wyatt Campbell, died early Saturday morning at BryanLGH West Medical Center shortly after arrival. A Lancaster County judge set a $1 million cash bond for both Pleines and Hayes on Tuesday afternoon, and a fall arraignment is scheduled for today. Pleines, 24, faces a charge of felony child abuse, and Hayes, 28, will be charged with murder. Police and paramedics were called to the home early Saturday morning by the couple, which said the boy was having trouble breath ing, according to court documents. After the boy was taken to the hospital, police interviewed Peines and Hayes, and they both described a pattern of abuse leading up to and including the night of Campbell’s death. Preliminary autopsy results showed the cause of death to be a blunt-force trauma to the head. Affidavits filed with the court said that Pleines admitted hitting her child in the head and thigh hard enough to knock him down Friday night after she returned home to find that Hayes had moved her car from the driveway as a practical joke. Hayes described hitting Campbell in the head with a closed fist eight to 10 times around 10 p.m. Friday. After each fall, Hayes ordered Campbell to get up. The court document also says Campbell made a noise Hayes could not describe later that evening, and Hayes responded by shaking the boy.
