Ben Yorita retires after years
of teaching Asian history
by Sue Chin
"you do make a difference
and you can influence people" as a teacher.
Yonta recently retired after 12 years teaching
Asian and minority history at Seattle Central Com·
munity College (SCCC). HewiU continue, howe~r .
to coordinate and lead the SCCC summer Overseas
Study and Travel Program, which he helped institute
in 1974. ,l'he group will tour mainland China next
summer.
Yorita, a teacher since 1950, singl~ha.nded.ly es-tablished the ethnic studies division of the SCCC history department.
When I came to SCCC in the fall, 1970, the students were demonstrating for minority courses,"
Yorita said. "Nobody was available to teach minor·
ity history courses in Black. Chicano or Asian his-tory ." Yorita undertook the task of creating many of
those courses for SCCc.
"I've taught the hist ory of Japan , the history of
China, East Asian history, Asian American history,
minority history, history of Korea, Taiwan, the
Philippines, and the history of the United States for
foreign students," he said. I have developed all of
them ."
While he and his family were interned al the Mini·
doka Concentration Camp in Idaho during World
War II, Yorita began teaching young people. "1found
it reaJly inspiring deaJing with young people," he
said. Yorita decided , at the age of 21 . tNt he wanted
to bea teacher.

by GI'<I\ S. Cutilla
... And a happy New Vear7

holidays, but now I'm having difficulty
accepting it.

frankly, I'd rather dream of my early
childhood celebra tion of Christmas and
reminisce: about the multi-<'Olored fireworks that greeted the advent of the new
year.
I loved to hear people sing. 'We wish
you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New

to what tradition expects of me: Be

I' ve always felt that there ought to be a
way of checking myself so that I wouldn't
be blinded by the emptiness, when
applied to ""I life, of phrases like "all is
calm." "peace on earth," and "sing and be
merry." The calmness of the world has
long been shattered by the sounds of gunfires especially in many developing countries. Peace for the many chiJdren of wartom countries in the Middle East, Asia
and Latin America, as they'll probably

She was so contented, no trace of frustration on her face. Not even the curiosity to
ask herself whether Santa Claus would
visit her next Christmas, assuming that
she behaves well. While I probably would
have felt the same under similar circumstances long ago, my feeling right now is
different.
Foryears.l've had a sneaking suspicion
that the world is in dire need of men of

When Chinatown had
its own lotteries
by D onnie Chin

teries.
The state recently announced its first
million dollar lottery winner. And over a
dozen pla~ in the intemational District
sell tickets to persons who also hope to
winhig.
But to many Chinese. this elusive
search for fortune is nothing new,
Chinese lotteries flourished in old Chinatown of the 1890's, near Second Avenue and Washmgton Street. where most
Chinese In Seattle lived and worked.
Gambling jOints which offered lotteries
lined \-Vashington Street . Second A venue
and Third Avenue. These places also offered other games which required some
skill and luck: mah jongg, py-que, blackiack and craps. As Chinatown moved to
its present location. these games also
moved
The Chinese lotteries wert' very different from today's state-run lottery. All
you needed back then was a dime and a
ChiJ'\ese ink brush. The price of some lottery tickets. however, went as high as several dollars each. which, in those days,
was enough to pay for a room for one
week.
The lottery tickets were printed on
large sheets of rice paper, then cut into
5 L • inch squam. Each ticket contained
eighty different Chin..., characters typ<d
out in rows of 10. The characters were
said to have derived from a poem written
by Emperor HUJ'l Sun. and thr porm containM 1, OOOcharacrrrs, n o two rhr sa me .
After purchasing the ticket, the player
would take a Chinese ink brush dipped
either in Crescent' blue laundry dye or
Chinese black ink and blot ou t ~everal of
the characters. Then the player would
take the ticket to a pe~on who would
make an exact copy of the ticket. giving
the player the replica.
E....ery hour, all the tickets would be collected and a draWing held. One person
would randomly draw written characters
from a basket and place them where
everyone could see. Another person,
with a master copy, would use a large
hole puncher to punch holes in the spaces
where the selected characters appeared.
Depending upon whether the spaces
blotted out on the ticket replica matched
the hoJes in the master copy, you either
wonorlost.
You could win anywhere from one to
several thousand dollars. Winners were
paid in cash as they won. Most won nothing.
The many lottery companies included:
Union, N.P .• Shanghai, ew Amencan
and Wing Tien. Plenty of money was
made in this little empire. and some own~
ers of these lottery rooms made millions.
Thousands who played the game made
nothing.
During World War It the Anny worried about its soldiers on leave. comjng to
Chinatown to spend their money. So the
nuJitary forced the closure of all the lottery rooms and gambling dens. The lottery ended, although other foons of

av.,r 600,000 refugees from Southeast
Asia have entered the United States since
1975 . Many have settled in the greater Seattle area. A variety of different services
are provided for them. They include
financial aid, educational and vocational
training, counseling, low-income housing and legal and eme.rgency assistance
(food, shelter, clothing, medical aid).
These services are furnished by the
government as well as various voluntary
agencies. Two such organizations, operating in Seattle, are the International Rescue Committee (lRC) and the Language
Institute for Refug-.;.
The IRC, begun in 1933, has 14 regio nal offices in the U.S. The Sea ttle office
was opened in 1975 in response to the tre-
mendous influx of relug-.;, primarily
from Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.
Funded through a contract with the
U.S. State Department, it has an administrative staff of nine persons who work
with a group of volunteers to help refugee
families with the initial problems of resettlement in a country and culture
fo reign to them.
Volunteer Co-ordinator Molly Ryan
described the agency as a resource for
refugee families . The IRC finds housing
for new arrivals, helps them with prol>-lems. p rovides public assistance infonna·
