the recipes on the International
Night menu — “three cups chick
en,” a typical Taiwanese dish, and
Mayan hot chocolate from Central
America.
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.”

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.”
