budgets Thursday
After just four minutes

for Musical Arts budget

The Programs Finance Committee
may have broken new speed records
in its Thursday meeting, approving
seven student group budgets all be
fore bedtime.
GLOSS, the student organization
associated with the Department of
Linguistics, had its budget of $626 ap
proved, which was a 30.4 percent in
crease. The money will fund speakers
for its Endangered Language Collo
quia series.
PFC also voted unanimously to re
call an account of the African Students
Association's budget to correct an ac
counting error.
The Committee for Musical Arts
passed its budget in a record-breaking
four minutes. It received the full
amount of its proposal at $4,905,
which was the exact same amount the
group received last year.
Ben Hunter, a graduate student at
the School of Music, discussed the
committee's mission.

was "more relaxed" than the previous
two she had worked on.
"(The committee) even went out on
the streets and asked students what
kind of China Night they wanted, and
this is the result," she said.
CSA President Wesley Huang said
the group wanted to do something
different this year.
"We wanted to make a play, to
make people laugh," he said.
He added that CSA chose Taiwan as
the theme because it wanted to pres
ent both traditional and contempo
rary aspects of China.
Students have been working on
China Night since last summer, ac
cording to stage manager Silvia Wang.
"A lot of hard work and organiza
tion went into it," she said.
Junior marketing major Kevin Gui,
a member of the public relations staff
for the event, said enjoyed working on
China Night.
"It felt more involved because we
got to direct, to choreograph the (hip
hop) dance and be in the dance as
well," he said.
Guests attended previous China
Nights and other Chinese cultural
events no doubt felt "a breath of fresh
air," according to Magid Shirzadegan,
associate director of the Office of In
ternational Programs.
"It showed modern Taiwan in
stead of the usual traditional Tai
wan," he said.
Peter Eberhardt, Student and Ex
change Visitor Information System co
ordinator for the Office of International
Programs, was proud that different in
ternational cultures could be celebrat
ed with events like China Night.
"It's great that we are able to cele
brate all these cultures through events
like these since it's hard to do that in
the classroom," he said.

singing "Happy Birthday" to her.
Also throwing a curve into the
evening's lineup, performers danced to
"It's the time to Disco." Prasad wowed
the audience when he soared off the
main stage onto the front stage and
continued dancing classic disco moves.
