The last regular season game is against SMU at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 27. The Lunar New Year is one of the major festivals celebrated among all five Asian cultures, and is the biggest event for all five of the hosting organizations. The festival, marking the beginning of the 4697 lunar new year and year of the rabbit, will involve an afternoon filled with performances, activities, and food unique to each culture. This event provides an opportunity for us to share some of the celebration's traditions with Rice's student body, faculty, staff, and the Houston community. Some of these events include ethnic dances, songs, a fashion show, and free food for all.
Admission is free for everyone who is interested.
So please come and join us in welcoming the Year of the Rabbit. It is through this organization that a group of Rice students will be performing service over Spring Break. Puentes de Cristo has stated that the border between Mexico and the US has been declared the most disparate border in the world. There is no other border where such wealth and poverty exists side by side. There are unique problems specific to border areas, such as increase of population and overcrowding due to emigration.
