MSU students pay remembrance to three Muslims slain at UNC Graduate student Susan Edlibi sits in silence Wednesday as graduate student Laya Charara speaks about the loss of three North Carolina students during the vigil held in the basement of the Radiology Building, 846 Service Road

By Karam Hadid khadid@statenews.com

Dozens of people gathered at the Radiology Building Wednesday evening for a vigil held in memory of three Muslim students killed in North Carolina. Twenty-three-year-old Deah Shaddy Barakat his 21-yearold wife, Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha and her 19-yearsold sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, were shot and killed execution-style Tuesday evening outside of their home at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, according to multiple news reports. Barakat, an avid fan of the NBA and the Golden State Warriors, was in his second year of dentistry school at the university. His wife also planned to enroll there in the fall. Razan was an undergraduate student at North Carolina State University. The couple, Deah and Yusor, had only recently gotten married. Students of all faiths and ethnicities at MSU gathered

A couple years ago, my good friend asked me what the coolest date I could go on would be. Being stupid and cynical, I was like, "Um probably to go to the moon and eat poprocks." One summer night he called me, said he was taking me out and refused to tell me where we were going. About an hour later, we made it to the highest point in the lower peninsula, overlooking the city of Grand Rapids- the closest we could get to the full moon. He opened up the glovebox and what do you know--He had packets of poprocks. It was so simple yet crazy thoughtful.

own brother. This happened in Chapel Hill. … It could have easily happened in East Lansing.” At this time, Chapel Hill police have said they believe the shooting was fueled by an ongoing neighbor dispute over parking. The father of the two sisters, in addition to some students at MSU, do not feel that this is the case. “This crime was not about a parking dispute,” Charara said. “It was not mental illness. It was an act of terrorism and hate, and any dispute of that is a disrespect to the memories of these individuals.” The next step for combating this, said those at the vigil, is continuing to raise awareness and have open discussions about faith and religion. T he v igil ended with a moment of silence for the three victims. “Hate has no religion, ethnicity, nor color,” Charara said. “It is up to us to condemn ideologies that propagate this type of evil.”

On my first ever Valentine's date, the guy had me pick him up and when he got in the car he already reeked of alcohol. Conversation was already bad enough on the way there, but when we got to the restaurant he was slurring his words so badly the waitress could not even take his order. To top it off, he puked all over the table when our food arrived. Absolutely worst Valentine's Day ever.

Spotlight Love against the odds Social relations and policy sophomore Nickle Trudeau and political theory and constitutional democracy junior Alyssa George pose for a portrait Sunday in Trudeau’s dorm room in Case Hall. Trudeau and George have been dating for nine months.

By Maria Braganini mbraganini@statenews.com

Everyone knows Valentine’s Day is about love. While many factors play into creating relationships, these couples didn’t let the ideas of gender norms or race affect who they fell for. Here are a few MSU couples loving against the odds. Alyssa and Nickle When political theory and constitutional democracy junior Alyssa George and social relations and policy sophomore Nickle Trudeau hold hands or kiss in public, they are often labeled as lesbians. For them, classifying their nine-month-long relationship is not that simple. “I am a pan-romantic gender queer,” Trudeau said. “I feel like I have the ability to fall in love with anyone and once I fall in love I find them more attractive and develop sexual feelings. That puts me on the asexual spectrum, they said.” As Trudeau uses the term gender queer. “I don’t identify as a women or a man, so I’m in the non-binary umbrella,” Trudeau said. George, who said she classifies as lesbian, also technically considers herself polysexal, because she’s fallen in love with Nickle. The couple commonly gets mislabeled by people who aren’t educated on the LGBT community. “A lot of people think I’m a gay woman when we’re being affectionate,” Trudeau said.

Melanie and Christos Urban regional planning junior Melanie Nieske, who is Hispanic, and Wayne State global supply chain junior Christos Burdalas, who is Greek, grew up practicing martial arts together. After a fear of rejection and a few failed attempts from Burdalas to ask Nieske out, Nieske took the matter into her own hands. “Are you trying to ask me out?” Nieske recalls saying to Burdalas one day. “No, I will not go out with you, but will you go out with me?” he responded. Two years later, the long-distance interracial couple have different but overlapping backgrounds and family values. In the Greek community, “you get looks no matter what,” Burdalas said. “I think it really adds to the person,” Nieske said. “I love going to the Greek festivals. He’s teaching me Greek dancing, which I am not nearly as good (at) as him and his sisters, but it’s a lot of fun and I think that it’s something I really love about him

because it adds to who he is and I appreciate that.” Burdalas has no issues with interracial or intersexual relationships. “One of our good friends just came out of the closet and he has a boyfriend that he’s very serious with,” Burdalas said. “We were talking about it where two people are free to do whatever they want. It doesn’t matter where you’re from or what your orientation is or whatever you prefer. It’s your life to choose what you want to do with it.” Burdalas and Nieske consider themselves different sides of the brain, adding to their diversity. “She’s very artsy and creative and I’m very business (oriented) ... I like to plan,” Burdalas said. “We’re very different in the sense, in the way that we think and solve problems or whatever it may be. But we compliment each other.” When asked about the future, Burdalas promptly responded, the future include Nieske. “I fell in love with my best friend,” Burdalas said.

fri day, FebruaRY 1 3, 2 01 5

“There’s no frame of mind to categorize our relationship expectations wise. I think it’s just hard for a lot of people to switch over to try to think our category.” The couple feels support from family, friends and religious leaders as they fully embrace gender diversity at MSU. “We get a fair amount of support from both of our parents. It’s nice to know that we have a support system even though this is the first, relationship like this for both of us,” Trudeau said. George and Trudeau are both religious and spiritual — which doesn’t conflict with their preferences and sexualities, they said. “My priest was actually the first person I came out to and he really wanted to reassure that I wouldn’t be driven from the church and I would always be accepted in the congregation,” Trudeau said. During George’s childhood, her father was a pastor. “He would talk about loving people. That’s our duty, to love everybody. That’s another part of our relationship that I like, we are very spiritual, it’s another level to connect at,” George said. The couple said onlookers often don’t connect the dots and realize the pair are romantically involved, because of the heteronormativity people tend to abide by. And while George and Trudeau blur the traditional lines of relationship roles, other couples’ differences can be more black and white.

Food industry management sophomore Albertina Mays laughs with her boyfriend, physics senior Michael Gottschalk, Feb. 6 at the Union. photo: Kennedy Thatch

Albertina and Michael Food industry and management sophomore Albertina Mays was waiting in line at Chipotle on a football game day when she turned around and began talking to physics junior Michael Gottschalk. As the couple began their relationship, Mays, who is black, and Gottschalk, who is white, didn’t think twice about their interracial appearances. “I didn’t have any thoughts about it,” Gottschalk said. “I just liked her so I started dating her. Race didn’t really influence my decision-making,” Four months later, Gottschalk remembers his first impression of Mays — she was easy to talk to, even in line. Mays doesn’t believe relationships should stay limited to specific races. “People have their own opinion with dating whoever they like or love and I feel that we are all people and we all should have our own rights in the world to be with whoever we want to be with,” Mays said. Mays feels support from her friends and family to date him. “I was talking to one of my friends, and she was like ‘well, you know it comes with a lot of

responsibility being with someone that’s from another race.’ She was saying if I were walking down the street with someone of my race no one would turn their head twice, but with him they’ll probably do that,” Mays said. “It’s just out of the norm. My friends are like ‘you’re going to get more attention than usual.’” Religion is the largest difference between the couples’ cultures. Even though Mays and Gottschalk both grew up Christian, their religious traditions differ. Mays now considers hersel f a s apostol ic, wh i le Michael identifies his faith as nondenominational. “The way that church goes is very different from what I was use to growing up,” Gottschalk said. Mays’ advice for anyone pursuing an interracial relationship is to “just be open-minded.” “Never in a lifetime did I think I was going to be with him,” Mays said. “Its either at the end of the day going to be a yes or a no to whatever question that you have for someone else that you like. It’s your opinion at the end of the day, no one else. At the end of the day, be happy.”

Valentine’s Day Sex stores feel the love in run-up to Valentine’s Day By Meagan Beck mbeck@statenews.com

When walking into any grocery store this time of year, it’s hard to miss the abundance of flowers, balloons and chocolates. But what about the dildos, vibrators, fuzzy handcuffs and blindfolds? As Valentine’s Day draws near, people are more likely to experiment with “kinky” sex or BDSM — which stands for bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism. Curiosity and the desire to satisfy a valentine with more than just a dinner date and some chocolates brings more business for adult entertainment shops. Chris Furgala, manager of the Deja Vu Love Boutique, said a steady stream of people have been coming in for everything from toys to lingerie and DVDs. The idea of visiting an adult entertainment shop might seem awkward, but Furgala said the employees at the Deja Vu Love Boutique are willing to help. “It’s a comfortable atmosphere here,” Furgala said. “If people look confused, we are there to offer help.” This year’s popular items at the store are from the “Fifty Shades of Grey” collection. “It’s hard to keep the collection in the store,” Furgala said. “There’s a blindfold,

vibrators and other stuff.” “Other stuff” includes bondage rope, tape and handcuffs — suggesting people will be roleplaying as Anastasia and Christian, the characters in E.L. James’ “Fifty Shades” series. When trying BDSM, arts and humanities freshman Tess Johnson said communication is key. “For anyone who hasn’t practiced BDSM before with their partner, the most important thing to remember is communication and consent,” Johnson said. She added experimentation in the bedroom might feel uncomfortable, but it is a normal feeling to have. “Feeling nervous or uncomfortable trying new things is very natural, and I don’t think you should let that dissuade you from reaching out and trying something you may end up enjoying,” Johnson said. Blake Mackie, community outreach educator for Planned Parenthood, said whenever people visit the counseling part of Planned Parenthood, he or she is screened for domestic violence abuse. “If you’re trying something new, it’s important the sex you are having is safe and consensual,” Mackie said. “A verbal, active yes.” Along with using toys in the bedroom or practicing BDSM, some people might

“No. It’s mostly emotional and doesn’t have to be sexual. You can have feelings involved and you don’t have to go to bed with someone to prove it.”

“No, and I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. What I think is, there is more to it than sex. You can show love in different ways.” Momodou Bah Biochemistry freshman

decide to try covering their partner in chocolate, whipped cream or other new endeavors. But Mackie said it’s important to make sure whatever is being used is compatible with a condom. Massage oils, lotion or whipped

cream are more likely to break down a condom and cause it to rip or tear. “If you are experimenting with food, you want to make sure it doesn’t have oils, or it could break the condom,” Mackie said. Flavored lubricants that are water

or silicone-based are a better option. Mackie also said there are other common mistakes people often make when using condoms, such as wearing two at once, so it’s important to find the method of protection that suits a person best.

Clothes. Fragrances. Massages. Mimosas. Fine leather goods. Tom Haverford and Donna Meagle of the NBC series “Parks and Recreation” know the perfect way to “treat yo self” this Valentine’s Day. Around this time of year, single folks have the tendency to feel a little down. Not only is the weather crummy, but advertisements for couples activities and deals are everywhere. It can be easy to feel alone, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Valentine’s Day isn’t just a time for couples to spend money on each other — it’s an opportunity to treat your self that only comes around once a year. Unwind Massage & Wellness of East Lansing is offering reduced prices this weekend, including a 1-hour $49 massage, owner and massage specialist Alan Glanz said.

Valentine’s Day Forget chocolates and flowers — ­ I’ll take pizza, video games and a night in for Valentine’s Day

By Danyelle Morrow dmorrow@statenews.com

This year Americans will spend more than $2.1 billion on flowers on Valentine’s Day alone, according to NBC News. The prices of roses skyrocket. Restaurant reservations will be non-existent. Wine will disappear off shelves, movie tickets will be sold out and extravagant dinners will be slaved over. The average spending for Valentine’s Day will come close to $19 billion, according to the U.S. News &

World Report. I will preface my statement by saying that my relationship status has not changed from “casually flirting with the same attractive and intelligent man for months,” but what the hell, Valentine’s Day? When did the expression of “love” turn into a multi-billion dollar industry for a series of days? When did Valentine’s Day become ridiculous? For at least a day, the relationship revolves around “Did they buy flowers?” “Where did you go for dinner?” “What did you make for dessert?” “Was there chocolate involved?” “Did you wear lingerie?” We all get the notion that “single people hate Valentine’s Day because they don’t have anyone to spend it with,” but being single on V-Day isn’t really that bad. I don’t have to dress myself up, make sure every inch of my body

is shaved, spend an hour doing hair and makeup and making myself prim and proper, only to take everything off a few hours later for some potential passionate one-on-one time with a significant other. Love is a sentiment that should be spontaneous, not rehearsed. No one should be expected to buy flowers, cards, chocolates and find a dinner reservation simply to please their significant other. Love shouldn’t be a rehearsal of high, outlandish expectations. This is exactly what Valentine’s Day has become: a run-through of the exact same performance, something akin to Shakespeare’s most famous play that has the same run-time every year and the same audience response. I spent my night arguing against the commercial holiday with that “casually flirting with the same attractive and intelligent man

Don’t be bummed about being single on V-Day

by Zoë Schubot and Maria Braganini ZSchubot@Statenews.com Mbraganini@state news.com

After swiping right on every possible Tinder match on the week leading up to Valentine’s Day, your desperation to find a valentine is at an all-time high. You hit the bars Friday and desperation hangs thick in the air. From the lines at the bars, it is evident that a large portion of MSU students are livin’ the single life this year. For those of you who don’t have a bae, don’t let your relationship status — or lack thereof — sour your mood this Valentine’s Day. Instead of sitting around sulking at your single status, celebrate your independence, and more importantly, yourself. Go out and treat yourself to what makes you happy— whether it’s a box of chocolates or a yoga class. Build yourself up, make yourself happy, prove to yourself that you don’t need another person to complete you.

If you are in a happy relationship, don’t let Valentine’s Day be the only day you celebrate your love. Being in love is something to be celebrated every day, not solely on the so-called day of love. While the big corporations love Valentine’s Day, the average woman will spend about $77 on a night of pressured romantic expectations, according to reports from Today Money. As struggling college students, the idea of spending this much on a single day is unrealistic. A total of $77 is the equivalent of about a dozen Chipotle burritos, excluding guacamole. It can be tempting to plan an over-thetop day for your loved one in order to live up to the Valentine’s Day hype. But trying to plan every aspect of Feb. 14 is setting yourself up for disappointment. As college students, every day is a new experience. Putting too much thought into one day could distract you from enjoying the other days that could bring just as much joy. College is a period of growth and change. While there’s nothing wrong with being in a relationship in college, sometimes we find ourselves growing apart from people we love, and that’s just a part of life. Relationships come and go, and life is unpredictable. Though it can be easy to turn bitter at the seemingly endless number of happy couples on Valentine’s Day there is nothing wrong with finding love in other places. So instead of waiting outside in the cold in hopes of finding that special someone, skip the lines and spend the night with your friends. Choose to appreciate all of your relationships, not just your (lack of) romantic ones.

for months” man. He was arguing that V-Day is a day set aside as a date night because otherwise you tend to hate each other after being stuck together for so long. False. Even when living with each other for years at a time you can find small ways to express your love. Whether that’s doing the dishes, or bringing home the type of milk that your significant other likes or finding some small detail that really puts you in good graces. Instead of coiffing yourself up and spending more than $50 on dinner, a movie and flowers that skyrocket in prices just to empty your wallet, why not rid yourself of the expectation and just take things as they come? You can bond over video games and hash out your differences with a round of “Super Smash Bros.” You can order a pizza and curl up on the couch. You

can even watch porn and have that passionate one-on-one time that was going to be postponed until that horrible movie was over. Now don’t get me wrong. I love “Pride and Prejudice” as much as the next girl, and am still waiting for my very own Mr. Darcy. I love the idea of love. I don’t appreciate the idea that love can be bought or sold. I don’t need all of the fancy things to know I’m in a relationship with someone and that I love them. All I truly need is to steal a sweater or two and play video games all day. Being alone with someone that you truly care about, someone that truly loves you, is so much more intimate and creative than being surrounded by hundreds of other couples that are trying to prove they love each other by doing the exact same thing. I’d rather beat you in “Call of Duty.”

Sports MSU hockey faces off with firstplace Penn State in East Lansing In their second Big Ten season, Penn State leads the conference in points, and they’ll play in East Lansing this weekend. MSU won one game in a shootoutin the last matchup. and lost the other game 5-2. MSU sits six points behind PSU.

By Jonathon Chun jchun@statenews.com

This weekend, Munn Ice Arena will feature two teams that finished at the bottom of the Big Ten last season. MSU ice hockey (10-12-2, 4-4-2-2 Big Ten) will face off against No. 19 Penn State (15-7-4, 7-2-1 Big Ten) in a battle of programs trying to turn the corner. The Nittany Lions have been one of college ice hockey’s biggest surprises this season, and come into the weekend having gone 6-02 over their last eight games. With a 5-3-2 record over its last 10 games, MSU is exactly halfway through its Big Ten schedule entering the weekend. Sitting in fourth place in the conference, the Spartans will have an opportunity to gain ground on second-place PSU. The Spartans currently sit six points behind their weekend foe, meaning a weekend sweep would put them in a tie with PSU. “Obviously, a real important weekend against Penn State,” head coach Tom Anastos said. “They’re playing really well. They’ve got a lot of things going right now and I’m sure their confidence is sky high. Offensively, they’ve been putting up big numbers. … They have probably one of the most effective lines in the country right now.” The forward line, consisting of Casey Bailey, Taylor Holstrom and David Goodwin, has produced 84 points for PSU this

season (33 P, 27 P, 24 P). That number is good for 34.5 percent of the Nittany Lions’ total offensive production, making them one of the most effective lines in the country. “Those three, they just click really well together. They know where they’re going to be at,” senior defenseman Ron Boyd said. “I’m not too worried about it. I think everyone on our team is good enough to shut them down, if you’re first line guy to fourth line guy, we shut them down and that’s the pride of our team. … It’s just a grind type of hockey.” The line of Bailey, Holstrom and Goodwin was key for PSU when they hosted MSU in mid-January. The trio combined for 11 points on the weekend helping PSU record a win and tie against the Spartans. “They can definitely control the pace of a game just by their speed, their tenacity, but I think this weekend, we have to go out there and we have to control the pace,” junior forward Matt DeBlouw said. “We have to control the game in order for us to have a different outcome than last time.” Anastos sees the Nittany Lions as one of the hardest working teams that MSU will face this season. The players were warned of PSU’s work ethic before the January series, and while they handled it well in the first matchup where MSU won in a shootout, the Spartans were completely outplayed in a 5-2 loss the following night.

To beat No. 23 Ohio State on Saturday, MSU will first have to find a way to beat freshman guard D’Angelo Russell. Easier said than done. Russell has been one of the best players in college basketball this season, averaging 19.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists. His offensive ability is varied and skilled, as he can shoot, drive and pass with ease. A home win over Ohio State (19-6 overall, 8-4 Big Ten) could push the Spartans into second place in the Big Ten, making the weekend match one of the most pivotal of MSU’s unpredictable season. “I think he’s one of the best players I’ve seen in this league, one of the best guards I’ve seen in this league in a long time,” men’s basketball fri day, FebruaRY 1 3, 2 01 5

you’ve got to find that right balance and we talk about it with our team all the time. You’ve got to find the balance of playing with emotion and yet playing disciplined.” Discipline might be a key factor this weekend. For Boyd, he

still has some bad blood with PSU from the last series. “I’m not a fan of Penn State,” Boyd said. “It’s like playing Michigan for me almost. They have just a little edge on them and I like that, but we just have to bring in an attitude where

head coach Tom Izzo said Wednesday. “He can beat you with a shot ... he is one of the best passers I’ve seen here.” MSU’s defensive game plan will mostly be tuned toward slowing down Russell. Izzo said they will throw “three or four” different players at him, with junior guard Denzel Valentine and senior forward Branden Dawson likely to be two of those players. “And he’s big, he’s 6’5 or 6’4, so he can see over things,” Izzo said. “We’re going to throw a couple different wrinkles at him, but he’s going to get some points. We gotta make sure the other guys don’t get a lot of their’s.” The men’s basketball team (16-8 overall, 7-4 Big Ten) had one of their best performances of the season on Tuesday, connecting on 13 of 25 three point tries to defeat Northwestern on the road, 68-44. Izzo took a lot of positives from the game,

we’re not going to take any of that because they came out with a physical attitude and they were hammering us, and we just can’t allow them to push us around like they did last time, and it’s not going to happen like that.”

with MSU’s defense being especially noteworthy. The Spartans held Northwestern to 14 points at halftime. With Russell’s ability to keep the defense honest with his driving ability, Izzo said MSU’s ball screen defense will be key. “What we did, I thought, was phenomenal and our bigs had something to do with it early,” Izzo said. “We didn’t give up some curls, we did a decent job on the ball screens. The ball screens in this game will be critical because he’s good enough to stop and pop, he’s good enough to get in the lane, he’s good enough to look over and see.” Freshman guard Lourawls Nairn started over senior guard Travis Trice on Tuesday, and his energy and defense translated to the court for MSU. Izzo hasn’t decided his rotation for Saturday yet, saying MSU has “six starters” right now.

Baseball opens with three games in Arizona By Matthew argillander margillander@statenews.com

After going 31-26 last year, the men’s baseball team is ready to get back to action, hoping to improve upon last year’s performance. The team opens its season this weekend in Arizona with three games: New Mexico on Friday, No. 32- ranked Oregon State on Saturday and Northwestern on Sunday. “We’re excited to get going, led by a strong core of seniors Mick VanVossen, Jeff Kinley, Blaise Salter, Ryan Krill, (Anthony) Cheky. They’ve played a lot of games here for us and we’re going to look to them to lead us,” head coach Jake Boss Jr. said. “The expectation is always to compete for a championship and that’s nothing new this year.” The team will have to replace outfielder

Jimmy Pickens and catcher and infielder Joel Fisher, both produced a lot of results for the Spartans while each starting 56 games last season. Fisher was second on the team with 39 RBIs and Pickens was third with 35. Junior outfielder Cam Gibson tied for first on the team with 70 hits last season and was second on the team with 32 walks. Gibson wants to prove the team’s doubters wrong and establish an identity without Pickens and Fisher. “We’re just looking to make a name for ourselves this year, we lost two big guys that we had last year but we (have) two guys that are going to fill those holes and succeed just like the other guys did,” Gibson said. “I know that we may have some people who are thinking ‘they not going to do nearly as good as they did last year’ but that’s the type of we like to hear .because

we know what we can do and we know we’re going to succeed.” The Spartans will play 17 games in East Lansing and 23 total games in Michigan. One will be played in Lansing against the Lansing Lugnuts in the Crosstown Showdown and two in Detroit at Comerica Park against Michigan. Senior catcher and first baseman Blaise Salter, who led the team with 50 RBIs last season, is excited and expects a lot out of the season. “Everyone has just been working hard and we’re all trying to get that Big Ten championship ring this year,” Salter said. “Team goal is to try and win 40 games this year, if you win 40 games in the north it gives you a good opportunity to get to the NCAA tournament. We want to do well against Michigan this year, we only play them once down at Comerica.”

“Shen Yun� brings centuries of Chinese culture to East Lansing By Leslie Hemenway lhemenway@statenews.com

As the lights dimmed, audience members quieted their chatter and the curtains on the stage in Cobb Great Hall at Wharton Center rose slowly, revealing fog on the stage. The dancers, who remained elegantly posed for a couple seconds, began dancing to the upbeat music played by the orchestra. Their movements were perfectly synchronized as they jumped, ran and spun around on stage. The women had yellow ribbons for visual flair. The routine lasted a few minutes, and ended with the dancers resuming their dramatic poses. Members of the

audience applauded enthusiastically. “Shen Yun,� which was performed Wednesday and Thursday night, drew in a massive crowd for its first East Lansing performance. MSU alumna Katherine Becsey said she heard about the show through an email, so she decided to come see it with her mother. She said she didn’t exactly know what to expect. “Based on everything I’ve seen, my main expectations will just be really cool, colorful sets, lots of fun costumes, but other than that, (I’m not sure),� she said. International relations junior Nate Rajpoot, who attended with his girlfriend, human biology sophomore Vani Bhatia, said he also wasn’t sure

what he could expect from the show. “We haven’t seen anything like this at all,â€? he said. “I saw that they’ve actually performed all around America ‌ so I wanted to have a chance to check it out.â€? “Shen Yunâ€? goes back 5,000 years into Chinese culture, displaying hallmarks through song and dance. According to their website, “Shen Yunâ€? cannot be performed in China today, though it still looks to revive traditions destroyed in the Cultural Revolution. The dancers demonstrate classical Chinese dance and act out ancient Chinese legends. There are also a couple of singers who perform throughout the show.

One of the segments, called “The Fable of the Magic Brush,� is a dance story about a young painter who receives a magical paint brush. T his sk it utilizes an interactive screen which is used as the background. It presented a bright blue sky, green, grassy mountains and rippling water. The painter drew things, such as a granary, with the magic paint brush and it appeared on the screen. This dazzled audiences and elicited several “oohs� and “ahhs.� During intermission, Bhatia said she enjoyed the show immensely. “I think it’s really cool so far,� she said. “The thing that I like the most

so far is the cultural aspect that you get to see through song and dance.� MSU alumna Barb Cowles said she was drawn to the show because she wanted to see some cultural Chinese traditions. One of the audience members, Okemos resident Harini Lingamgunta, said the show exceeded her expectations. “It was very elegant, the dresses (and) the outfits were awesome and the dance was really powerful,� she said. “Shen Yun� will be traveling to Grand Rapids and other major cities. Ticket prices range from $50 to as expensive as $120 depending on what seat you choose.
