The festival, which is a Chinese tra dition, stems from an uprising in the 14th century during Mongolian rule in China, 1280-1368. Those wanting to overthrow the government ordered the making of spe cial cakes. Inside the cakes, they includ ed a piece of paper with an outline of the attack. The rebels were successful. Since the overthrow, Chinese in countries such as China and Malaysia have celebrated the Mooncake Festival on Aug. 15. The festival is also called the Mid-Autumn Festival. Cheih Kuan Wong, NUMSA presi dent, said the group decided to share the festival with UNL, so it held its event in September. NUMSA is selling seven types of mooncakes. Prices range from $3.50 to $4.50. The cakes were imported from Chinatown in Chicago and were made in Hong Kong. Wong said cities such as San Francisco have large celebrations for the festival.
