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.
