Students celebrate Ramadan with dinner and conversation
In celebration of the Islamic holiday Ramadan, 300 people of all faiths will gather together to eat and have a discussion.
KU Crescent, a group of Muslim students and students of other faith traditions, is hosting an Indian buffet dinner. The organization, started this year, has several goals for the meal, said vice president Kahill Saad. "We want people to come together and talk," Saad, Wichita sophomore, said. "We want them to become a part of each other's lives."
Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. During the holiday, Muslims fast during the day and abstain from excesses.
Saad said everyone was welcome to the event. The dinner will be 5:15 p.m.
Nov. 6 at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. Reservations are required, but the meal is free. Students should call 843-4933.

Question of the day
It's a little bit tricky and easy to miss. When you are on the course finder search page, make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom before you submit your request. There is a "Report Layout Options" section where you can request additional information about each class, such as the instructor, the number of people enrolled, the remaining spaces available and more. Check all the boxes you want, and that information will be displayed along with your search results.
