The hot chocolate was featured in the Miramax film “Chocolat,” starring Juliette Binoche and Judi Dench, Chen said. And while Chen was visiting his host family in Hood River, he learned the recipe for the drink. Chen said the drink, which can be traced to both Aztec and Mayan cultures and today can be found throughout Central Ameri ca, is spicy, sweet and warms the whole body. “The secret is hot chili pepper topped with whipped cream,” Chen said, adding that the word chocolate comes from the Mayan beverage. Chen said that in the movie, the hot chocolate surprises those who drink it—and it surprises them that the “drink of passion” contains hot chili pepper. To make sure their own version was just right, ISA members experi mented with different types of chocolate while making the bever age earlier this month. Tolani, who has been studying at the University for two years, said he wants people to leave International Night not only full of good food, but more aware of the diversity on this campus. Presenting the richness of international culture to the Univer sity is a rewarding experience, Tolani added. But the night doesn’t end after the food has been served. During the performances, the audience will be in for a taste of salsa dancing that is typically seen in Cuba. Salsa be came internationally recognized in the 1930s when Cuban immigrants brought their tradition to cities such as New York and Miami. Highlights of the evening also in clude everything from a fast-paced Balinese dance to a Karate demon stration.International Night Direc tor Ozzy Greven, a senior interna tional studies major, said all the committees working on Interna tional Night have been efficient so far in making sure the night runs smoothly.“I find that international students and students as a whole are supportive of each other,” Greven said. “I have complete faith in everybody involved.” Even though he’s a first genera tion American, Greven said he en joys working with the ISA and also serves as the office manager for the International Resource Center. “I am doing this in an effort to bring people together,” Greven said. “Everyone from everywhere has something to offer and sometimes we need a forum to share it — and that’s International Night.” Apasu r Fashion Show sponsored by: UO Bookstore.

Task Force continued from page 1 shuttle service. “Right now — even if we had a shuttle — until the rain comes down and it gets dark, ridership is down,” said Jan Oliver, associate vice presi dent for institutional affairs. “The ridership is very weather-related.” Predicting ridership habits is a dif ficult task when determining the fea sibility of transportation options. “We have discussed this before,” Oliver added. “In the end, we could n’t get the math to work out.” Another topic of concern was brought to the discussion by Director of Student Activities Gregg Lobisser regarding alcohol use among stu dents, particularly on his or her 21st birthday. “The issues are not specific to the 21er but the fact that until you are 21 we downplay drinking — then all of a sudden it’s readily available,” Lo bisser said. “Somehow we need to correct that message.” At Thursday’s CCRTF meeting, University staff applauded the stu dents who attended the session — all four of them. “Nobody on this campus knows what this task force is,” said one late arriving attendee, explaining how she was unable to locate the meeting after asking many people. Those in attendance at the meet ing maintained the feeling that the quality of discussion would be im proved if the CCRTF meetings could attract more students. The task force also provides a fo rum for updating the University staff and other student groups on upcom ing events on campus and through out the community. ASUO Outreach Director Christa Shively eagerly anticipated the events planned for Sexual Assault Awareness Week, including the an nual Take Back the Night parade, scheduled for May 15-19. The task force also discussed items related to safety of summer activities, such as hiking and swimming. “It is not uncommon for us to have a student die from drowning on a nearly annual basis,” Oliver said. Many times during the meeting, those in attendance referenced the notion of preaching to the choir. “Remember, these are administra tion and staff people,” University student Pete Hunt said after the meeting. “They talk about this stuff all day long — what this task force really needs is the input of students.” University staff members agreed. “These events have great poten tial,” CCRTF organizer Donna Leavy said. “They are very interesting and open to suggestions for topics to be discussed.” 1 LAfilK Laser Vision Correction Nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism STEVEN OFNER, MD Jerry Allen BEFORE Jerry Allen AFTER (Surgery by Steven Ofner, MD) You Don't Have To Imagine Anymore!
