Revival of
the ASO
by April M. Bogdanski
Collegian Staff
This year at Behrend, the
Asian Student Organization has
been revived.
The Asian Student Organiza
tion was implemented to
increase student body awareness
of Asian cultures. It is not only
open for Asian cultures, but all
other cultures as well. There are
presently about 25 to 30 Asian
students interested.
ASO makes it easier for
Asian students to get together
and socialize, and to speak
what's on their mind. Some
objectives of the ASO include
furthering members' academic
skills, taking part in activities
such as skiing, expressing their
culture, enlightening other
students about the Asian
background, and adapting to life
here at Behrend.
Members of the ASO help
each other with things such as
their major, or getting through
any red tape at school.
ASO is deeply involved with
activities. They are involved in
numerous activities with the
Association of Black Collegians
(ABC). Speakers come to talk
about various majors to help
students learn more about their
major. There will also be
multi-cultural festivals in
March.
"The main objective of the
Asian Student Organization is
to make the campus notice that
we are a different culture," said
Danny Chun, President of ASO.
"A lot of people aren't aware
of the various cultures that
exist," said Gerald Spates, one
of the advisors of ASO "The
Asian Student Organization
wants to promote awareness and
pride in Asian culture."

Prizes for the coin toss are
being donated by crafters, and
the bake sale is sponsored by
local churches and Behrend
faculty and staff. Family
films, as well as art and
cultural films will be shown;
schedules will be posted for
times. "We're trying to have a
lot of fun things going on,"
said Anderson.
The event kicks off Friday
evening with a private
reception and viewing. Blue
grass and folk music will be
provided by Misery Bay and the
Dulcimer Club, who may also
perform throughout the
wedr.end.
