NEWS The Michigan Daily - Monday, February 6, 2006 - 7A DIVORCE Continued from page 1A from their clashing priorities, she said. Twenty-four years later, with the encour- agement of her son, she filed for divorce. Soon after, most of her friends began to shun her and sympathized with her husband. "They started a rumor that I'm having an affair," Shah said. Her son didn't receive much support from his Indian friends. "Ninety-five percent of my Indian friends never mentioned it," he said. "These types of situations make you realize who your friends are." He added that his American friends were the opposite - nearly all offered their sup- port. Shyam Shah said he still supports his mother's choice. "When it comes to the question of hap- piness, that shouldn't be compromised," he said. But when his mother went back to India to visit, her reception was ironically warm and welcoming. Shyam Shah attributed the welcome to "Americanization and modernity" in India. "(Most Indian immigrants) came here in the '70s, '80s and early '90s," Gita Shah said. "We still have that old frame of mind of India and the culture. People in India have moved on and adopted changes." After the workshop, the attendees divided into groups and discussed divorce. Many students in the groups said expec- tations for women are getting higher. South Asian women are expected to have a good education and a successful career. They also said some South Asian women have a tendency to gossip about each other. LSA freshman Tasha Vardya said the stigma of divorce still exists in the current generation. "It's still going to be taboo," Vardya said. "It's hard to completely get rid of that. We were raised by our parents." She said that because American society views South Asians as giving a lot of impor- tance to family values and respect for elders, divorce is out of the ordinary. But Shyam Shah said divorces will slowly become more accepted. His mother said she doesn't believe divorce is always the best option. "But if it happens, there's nothing wrong with it," she said. "We should all be support- ive." ADOPTED Continued from page 1A Students from Crossing Borders set up a makeshift Vietnamese marketplace in the elementary school, including projections of landscapes, colorful costumes and a house adorned with traditional Vietnamese decorations. Duong and other members handed out branches of Hao Mai, a yellow flower that symbolizes hope in Vietnamese culture. In the middle of the gym, the students and children danced and played Vietnam- ese games. Around the perimeter, students helped children make emperor hats, write characters in Chinese and learn how to pronounce their names in Vietnamese. Dylan Williams, an adopted Vietnamese child, said he enjoyed the celebration. He said he loved the games and crafts. Marie Lowry, from Redford, came with her daughters Adele, who is from Vietnam- ese, and Claire, whom she adopted from China. She said the festivals have helped her daughters develop a sense of their native identities. "They like talking about what they did (at the festival), because it gives them some status at the school," Lowry said. "They have a lot of pride, and they feel they belong somewhere." She said the student facilitators provide role models for her daughters and other children to learn what it's like to be Asian Americans. "We like to get them excited about iden- tifying as Vietnamese, that it's a unique and positive experience, and not just being different from their peers," she said. Through these festivals and online information exchange, Song said Mam Non hopes to educate parents about basic Vietnamese-American history, stereotypes and how to facilitate their children's expe- riences in connecting with the local Asian American community. LSA junior Theresa Tran, Vietnamese Students Association co-chair, said she enjoys coming to the annual celebration because of the children's curiosity about Vietnamese culture. "They ask questions like, 'You've been to Vietnam? What it's like over there?' " she said. "It's always really funny to talk to them." COACHES Continued from page 1A their opening for the linebackers' coach position. There have been no reports that he was offered the job. Carr said he doesn't resent his coaches moving on to coach professional teams. "You always like to see people do things that are conducive to their careers that they really want to do," the coach said. "They're good men and they're outstanding coaches." Carr said he considers the loss of coaches to the professional ranks a necessary by product of having a talented and competitive coaching staff. "There will be a number of them that will have opportu- nities to coach in the NFL," Carr said. "When they choose to do that, I'm happy for them if that's what they want to pursue." the michigan daily LOW SEC. DEP., $1,200 OFF W/I 1 YR. LSE.! Great North Campus loc. Lg. apts.

And it's not trivial stuff! You're so excited about something you want to tell others how you feel. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an exciting day for you because you adore learning new things. (Bright, shiny objects intrigue you.) People from other cultures and different backgrounds will teach you something today. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a great day to do any kind of research. You're determined to get to the bottom of something. You want the truth! LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Conversations with others are reveal- ing in a profound way. You could meet someone who actually changes the way you think. Possibly, you'll do this for someone else. VIRGO SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Family secrets might surface today.
