University Daily Kansan, April 11, 1983
Ethnic festival features crafts, traditional attire
Amil Gulati, dressed in an informal suit called a bathtin in Northern India, looked foreign from afar. His suit is red, and he has long pants, were made of pale yellow cotton.
But Gulati wore a navy blue vest, which came from a suit he sometimes wears to work in Kansas City, Kan., instead of the embroidered jacket that would normally complete his traditional dress.
HIS SHOES WERE hardly those the typical man in the streets of India would wear, and his English had scarcely a trace of a foreign accent.
Gulati, who graduated last spring from the University of Kansas, was one of several hundred foreigners and Americans who attended the 31st Annual International Festival of Nations yesterday at the Kansas Union.
He said that he came back to Lawrence often to visit international friends and that he could not pass up the opportunity even if it was somewhat Americanized.
Students from the Middle East, Orient, Africa and South America roamed around the Union, many like Gulati, dressed in traditional garb from
SOME OF THEM, such as John-Paul Kisob, Camaroare freshman, not only wore their traditional dress, but also displayed crafts from their homelands.
Kisob showed a leather folder made from python skin and a woven book bag made of palms. He were an agbada, or three-piece suit, and like Gulati, substituted American clothes for part of it.
Paper folding was another of the crafts shown. Yen-Sen Chen, Taiwan graduate student, said he spent hours making paper penguins, peacocks and cranes to display.
CHEN SAID paper folding, which originated about 2,000 years ago in China, was a popular craft for Taiwanese children. He had not practiced it for years until a month ago, when he started making the pieces for the festival.
Palestinian, Malaysian, German, Indian and Latin American students sang traditional songs and danced folk dances in Woodruff Auditorium. Before the 2000 concert, more than 400 people were enthusiastically clapping in time with the music.
