World fair to bring international flavor to campus

Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas students will be able to see the world on campus during the second week of April.
International Student Association wants to make the University's multicultural population more visible by sponsoring activities such as a fair on the lawn between Wescoe Hall
and Stauffer-Flint Hall.
The fair is part of the association's World Expo, a week-long celebration of cultures beginning on April 12, and the association still is searching for participants.
International students will have tables at the Expo to represent their countries, said Carrie Murray, Wichita junior and cultural chairwoman of the club.
"It's a good way for people to get aware of how many different nationalities are on campus," Murray said.
Previously, the organization had organized an annual day-long celebration of cultures.
The club decided to hold a weeklong event this year because it is the International Student Association's 50th anniversary, said Hani Al-Ali/Alli.
Another reason for the longer celebration is to spread knowledge about the many cultures at the University, he said.

Association is coordinating the week, other cultural groups, including the Native American Student Association, Cultural India Club and Malaysian Student Association also are involved.
One of the events will be the Festival of Nations, a cultural show featuring dance, music and fashion, Murray said.

The week also will include an international potluck dinner at 6:30 p.m. April 10 at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
International students will bring food from their countries, and the dinner will be open to anyone who brings food, Murray said.
Oh sure, it looks innocent. But it could be wired to a no-name company that has no qualms about
overcharging broke college students.
So, calling card in hand, you dial 1800 CALL ATT and save yourself some much-needed cash.
