ISA Night showcases cultures
By Beth Hege

International Night, the capstone of a week of
activities sponsored by the International Students
Association, began with a tantalizing spread of
ethnic foods from 10 countries and ended with a
showcase of singing, dance and pageantry by nearly
MOO performers.
The ISA chose for its 30th annual International
Festival the theme of "Diversity." a motif that was
played out in films, information booths. lectures
and performances. The association is an umbrella
organization of Cl groups.
"We are united because we are international
students, but we have different cultures and beliefs,"
said Chin Wei Shing, ISA co-director. "Within our
diversity we work together "
Working together to put on the student-sponsored
festival meant everything from arranging speakers
to peeling HO pounds of potatoes for the buffet.
Students worked in teams to create a meal for nearly
1,000 people, and most spent at least a day in the
EMU Fishbowl kitchen
Other preparations took longer John Truth of
Saigon said he and other Vietnamese students
rehearsed a ribbon dance for a month lie said the
effort was worth it to show the iieautv of his country
"Most Amern ans think of the war. hut this dam e
shows the innocence of romance, and the inncx ent ti
of our country." Truth said
The program began with .t welcome from Native
Americans who performed an eagle feather dam e
Throughout the program, dance was the primary
medium of cultural expression
f’arisa Salelu of Tehran, Iran, said international
students are anxious to share their cultures with
others, particularly during the festival "Everyone
puls so much work into it. and at the end it all i ontes
together," she said
International students represent about 10 percent
of the University's total population, with 1.469
students from 79 countries
