The ONU World Student Organization held a Valentine's party on campus Saturday, and members found out that the Asians do it up big time. Asians mark Feb. 14, March 14, and April 14 as Valentines.
On Feb. 14, the girls give roses or chocolate to the guys as a sign of affection. The next month, known as White Day, the guys return the favor.
Finally, in mid April the singles who received no gifts the prior two months gather together on what is known as Black Day and eat a dish called black noodles.
