Night brings cultures together
■ International week ends
after the World Game and
a successful International
Night on Sunday
By Lisa Toth
Oregon Daily Emerald
The fast feet of the fire-red
dressed Latino dancers twirled
across the stage to loud salsa mu
sic. The enticing cries of excite
ment and applause echoed from
the audience.
On Sunday, the International
Student Association hosted the
37 th annual celebration known as
International Night. International
Night brought together an array of
international cuisine, talent and
entertainment for students and
people of all ages. It is ISA’s largest
event of the year and the grand fi
nale of International Week.
“The world is one. We belong to
earth,” ISA co-director Alberto de
Melo Albuquerque said in his
opening remarks for the evening.
The theme of the night was
“Pangea.” Two-hundred million
years ago, Pangea was the only
continent, but eventually drifted
apart. The intent of International
Night was to bring together the
unique customs and cultures of
the divided continents.
Publicity co-head and ISA
member Jung-Chang Cheng said
by bringing the continents togeth
er, the night celebrated diversity.
“We need to know more about
this world’s cultures and how dif
ferent we are, and how similar we
are,” said Tom Mills, director of
the Office of International Educa
tion and Exchange.
The event featured internation
al food dishes prepared by stu
dents from more than 45 coun
tries around the world.
Cindy Lee, a junior studying
linguistics at the University, said
she came to International Night to
have fun. She said it is a good ex
perience to learn about different
cultures.
“I attended International Night
last year, but the food was better
this year, especially the desserts,”

Graduate dance student Yio-Hsien Wang performs the Chinese Silk Fan Dance during
International Night. The dance is one of the most remarkable types of peasant
dance and is performed during holidays and festivals.
Lee said.
Following the sit-down dinner,
students performed a two-hour
stage show depicting different
cultures. The opening perform
ance included four dancers in a
spectacular traditional Indian cul
ture dance.
The audience participated
with a cultural version of “Who
wants to be a millionaire?”
Throughout the night, spectators
were dazzled with cultural activi
ties such as a native Hawaiian
dance, a solo traditional Chinese
fan dance, the French Cancan and
a Chinese fashion show.
“We are such an internationally
diverse campus, and we want stu
dents to realize that we contribute
to diversity on campus,” Program
Coordinator Ilona Widyastuti
Wirasmini Widjojo said.
The ISA events were a $22,000
production, which ISA members
devoted countless hours and vol
unteer time to prepare.
“The volunteers have not only
met our expectations in commit
ment and dedication, they have
exceeded it,” ISA co-director
Haya Shalini Matsumoto said.
“The students have put their
hearts and souls into the largest
cultural event on campus. We are
very happy that students from lit
erally around the world worked
together to put on such a success
ful and splendid program.”
On Friday, as part of Interna
tional Week, the ISA also hosted
the World Game workshop in the
Student Recreation Center.
The concept of the World Game
was conceived by American ar
chitect and inventor Buckminster
Fuller as a constructive alterna
tive to military war games.
The workshop was presented
by the World Game Institute, a
nonprofit research and education
organization established in 1972.
In the World Game, enemies are
not another nation, race or reli
gion but problems such as hunger,
illiteracy and disease. The four
hour workshop, played on a 70
foot by 35-foot map, allowed par
ticipants to create a microcosm of
the world. Teams represented in
ternational organizations such as
the United Nations and the World
Health Organization.
Props representing resources
such as food, energy and technol
ogy were distributed to students
according to current statistics.
The players were responsible for
meeting basic human needs. In
the three dynamic rounds, play
ers had the opportunity to inter
act and engage in trading, devel
oping strategies and creative
problem-solving.
