Week to highlight a variety of cultures Each day of International Week, students can explore a different continent By Amalie Young Higher Education Reporter Students may globe-trot their way around the world — in seven days. International Week, sponsored by the International Student Asso ciation, will give students a chance to travel through Africa to the Americas and across the Pacif ic to Asia and Europe this week. The event is the highlight of the ISA’s activities. Musicians, dancers, artists and special speak ers have been invited from around the world to join in the festivities. The purpose of the celebration, said Amita Malakar, co-director of ISA, is to bring international stu dents as well as Americans togeth er to share their cultures and back grounds. “We want people to know that the U of O is a small world,” she said. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to learn about other countries.” "Even international students don’t know about each other," said Soo Hyun Bak, co-director of ISA. The University has a rich di versity of students, and Interna tional Week is a chance to bring people of different cultures togeth er, she said. Each day of International Week is devoted to exploring a continent through dance and musical perfor mances, skits and food sampling. Most food is free, and perfor mances will be made by volunteer international students on campus. Professional performers are paid through hinds from the ISA bud get.“We want to welcome every one to take advantage of the oppor tunity to see how diverse our culture is and have more under standing about International Stu International Day Calendar ■ AFRICA DAY: Monday, April 13 Noon — Opening Ceremony, EMU Amphitheater 12:30-3:00—Cultural Exhibitions, Rr Room ■ AMERICA DAY: Tuesday, April 14 Noon—Tango Performance 12:40 -1:20 Salsa Workshop 1:30 Native American Student Union Performance, EMU Am phitheater 2-2:30 p.m. Slide Presentation, Fir Room 2:45 Hawaiian Dance Performance, EMU Amphitheater 5 p.m. Guest Speaker: Prof. Dan Goldrich: “Economics & Sustain ability in Latin America,” Rr Room ■ ASIA/PACIFIC DAY: Wednesday.
