Venezuela tops in festival
Venezuela will twice have its name on the International Festival trophy awarded for the best program of the festival.
Masoud Moayer, master of ceremonies, made the presentation before a capacity crowd in the Kansas Union Ballroom, after the 8 p.m. program yesterday.
Trophies were awarded in two areas for the 16th annual International Festival: exhibits from participating countries and the program event.
From the 13 countries which
participated in the program, a team of five judges selected three winners. Venezuela, which won the prize in 1968, received the trophy for a student folk dance, "Paiaro Guardandal."
The dance, which is a "dance of the bird," featured eight performers in native costume, accompanied by a Venezuelan student band.
The dancers, by song and movement, told the story of a bird shot by a hunter and brought back to life and song by a native doctor.
India's group of folk dancers was voted the second place winner. Moayer explained that the dance, "Raas," is performed during national celebrations. The group, dressed in native costume, consisted almost totally of men, with one woman performing at the beginning of the number.
The judges chose the program by the Korean students as the third place winner. The Korean presentation, done in native dress, consisted of a folk song, "Mong Kum Po Taryung," by
three women students and a classical dance, "Miryang Arirang." the dance of the circle.
Other program events also featured folk songs and dances done in native dress; one group presented a skit. Two of the groups presented capsule picture presentations of native countries. A speaker for the African Nations read a native poem.
Individual exhibits, which opened at 6 p.m., were reopened after the program.

The exhibits featured arts and crafts from each of 12 participating countries. One group showed a series of slides from its native country. Other groups decorated their allotted space in the Big Eight and Jayhawk rooms of the Kansas Union in native styles, using materials and display articles from their countries.

The best exhibit received a trophy, awarded with the program winners. Two other winners were chosen by the team of judges.
Exhibits by Chinese and Iranian students tied for first place honors and the trophy, which is kept from year to year in the Dean of Foreign Students' office.
