Maki, Mats shared in traditional Domeland rites Even though basketball isn ' t a national sport in Sweden or Japan, Mats and Maki find them- selves caught up in the spirit and enthusiasm of a good old American basketball game. Maki Kawasoe and Mats Ehn, for- eign exchange students, became ac- customed to the Redskin way of life as they cheered at ball games, partici- pated actively in the senior banquet, and roamed the halls of Domeland. In addition to bringing their Japanese and Swedish traditions to Fort Wayne and the U.S., they found themselves returning to their native lands with bits of American custom, which they acquired during their stay.
