The Chinese New Year was off to a roaring start Jan. 22 with
a performance of the traditional lion dance at the student lounge
in the Business School's Davidson Hall. The dance involves a hungry
lion searching for food, typically lettuce or other greens, which
he seeks out with the help of a playful monk. Jeff Westbrooks (head)
and Tim Fisher (tail) of the Asian Martial Arts Studio of Ann Arbor
perform the dance. During the performance they tossed greensa
symbol of wealth and good fortuneat the audience three times,
with some pieces landing on students' coats and laptops. The Asian
Business Conference organizing committee and the Greater China
Association brought the performers to campus. (Photo by Martin
