UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Festival of Nations features information, music, dancing
International cultures come together for day to promote diversity
By Denise Neil Kansan staff writer
People left their seats and danced in the aisles of Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union on Friday night while Folklore Venezuela, a local Laitino band, performed at the 42nd annual Festival of Nations Cultural Show.
More than 300 people attended the show. Three events took place during Friday's Festival of Nations celebration sponsored by the International Students Association.
The show featured performances of
traditional songs and dances from 10 different countries around the world, including France, Japan, Indohesia and Iran.
Two round-trip tickets to Costa Rica were given away at the end of the show. Watcharas Leelawath, Bangkok, Thailand, graduate student, won the tickets. Leelawath said his winning was coincidental because his best friend, an international student from Costa Rica, had just invited him to come to Costa Rica at Christmas.
Another event of the day was a party after the show.
The festival also included a World Expo, which took place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall. Students from 25 nations including Jordan, Panama and Spain provided information about their countries.
Jose Alvarado, San Jose, Costa Rica,
graduate student, was one of the students representing Costa Rica at the World Expo. He said that many students passing by had stopped to ask questions about Costa Rican rain forests and about the University's Study Abroad program in Costa Rica.
"Eight percent of the student population is international students, so it is important to project this to the rest of the students," he said. "It's a good opportunity to be in close contact with the cultural diversity we have on campus."
Debra Brodsky, Lincolnwood, Ill., senior, was a student representative for Israel. She said that she hoped that the day's events would familiarize students with the cultures of international students.
"It exposes people to different cultures around the world that they don't usually see," she said.

Countries from all over the world were represented Friday when students gathered in front of Stauffer-Flint Hall to share their cultural heritage.
