The other three sides had the same message, one written in English, one in Japanese and one in Dzongkha, the language of Bhutan. Each language was chosen carefully and represents something different, Allen said. CWej picked English so people would be able to read it, Allen said, Potawatomi because it's a local American Indian tribal language, Japanese because the peace pole project was started in Japan, and Bhutan - a Buddhist country that measures national progress in terms of gross national happiness? The Campaign for Nonviolence brought the peace pole to campus and dedicated it to the community on the UFM lawn Sept. 21 -the United Nation's International Day of Peace. Pat Embers, member of the Native American Student Association and Manhattan resident, performed a smudging ceremony, which involved fanning cindering sage with a turkey feather while surrounded by silence. I really enjoyed the ceremony - I thought it was beautiful, said Cammie Lehman, Allen's main student assistant and junior in Women's studies. It was perfect and exactly what I hoped for. The smudging is usually done in private, so I thought it was really special that the people who attended were able to experience that moment. It was really peaceful, and it turned out really well. The Peace Pole Project was started by Masahisa Goi in Japan in 1955. Goi dedicated his life to spread the message of peace across the World. We are facing an age where the politics of the world must be carried out by each individual who repeats the Words, tMay peace prevail on earth,' thus becoming a great force for realizing peace in the world, Goi said, according to the project's Web site. The peace pole was a spot where people could reflect on peace and see up-close a movement that was happening around the world. It symbolizes peace - not that we ever forget, Divya Neela, graduate student in electrical engineering, said. It was a great experience for me. I'd never seen a peace pole in person, I'd only heard about them. The peace pole was meant to symbolize nonviolence and be a tangible symbol of peace, Lehman said. I hope everyone gets a chance to look at the peace pole and reflect on how we can all act nonviolently in our everyday lives, Lehman said. Focus on being kind to each other in our relationships. I want it to be a reminder to people to do the best they can to act nonviolently in their everyday lives.

By 9 a.m., families Were swarming the area, playing games and listening to music. The greek community sponsored a bounce house, and each set of homecoming partners organized a game. t'We asked each greek house to think of a game with their homecoming partner and to keep it simple and keep it fun, said Lee Van Loenen, director of community and internal relations of the Interfraternity Council and senior in accounting. Among the many other activities, the bounce house was a new feature added to the carnival.
