The Wood Center is getting ready to celebrate Chinese New Year. This Saturday, Feb. 11, the annual celebration by the Chinese Student Association will provide a Chinese New Year style buffet dinner and many stage performances. One of the organizers, UAF Chinese language instructor Rosalind Kan, said the event has drawn almost 300 visitors in previous years.

The event will be open to the public, and is expected to attract people from across the Fairbanks community, including from UAF. Kan said the event is very important for the local Chinese community and is also expected to draw many people from across Fairbanks, including UAF.

Soldiers, both at home and deployed, convey a level of frustration when it comes to making sense of the beliefs and motives behind those who rally behind Occupy Wall Street and the movement it has spawned.

“The Occupy Movement has very little street cred amongst the troops," commented Spec. Peter Paruccini, 28, a Fort Wainwright soldier currently serving in Afghanistan.
