Festival of Nations celebrates diversity World of events on campus today
by Rias Mohamed Kansan staff writer
By mid-morning today, the lawn north of Staffer-Flunt Hall could resemble a bazaar: The Festival of Nations will be under war.
"Festival of Nations brings the world to the Lawrence campus," said Sumaya Ali-Raja, president of the KU International Club. "It's a very diverse campus. There are about 102 countries represented."
Students from France, Iran, Malaysia, Jordan, West Germany, Thailand, the Netherlands, North Yemen, Turkey, Taiwan, Palestine, Ivory Coast, Panama, Spain, Colombia, Bolivia, Mexico and Haskell University. College will display booths to exhibit different cultures.
"The purpose behind this is to celebrate our diversity, and this is an event that brings every foreign group together." Al-Raja, Taiz, Yemen, junior.
Ali-Raja said the event would be outside for the first time. The club chose to have the festival on a school campus and offered a lesser chance of students missing it.
"This time we are going to the American people," she said. "They are not coming to us."
Bod Wellink, vice president of the club, said students could play backgammon or soccer at the festival if they had time between classes.
"Soccer is not as popular here as much as it is in other parts of the world," said Wellink, an exchange student from Silvide, Netherlands.
She Kansas Union Ballroom.
Lisa Wiggins, president of Haskell Interstitial Council, said she considered it an honor to be included in the event. This is the first time Haskell has been represented.
The festival will continue with ethnic fashion shows and dances, a powow by the Haskell Intertribal Committee, and a bim in the Kansas Union Railroad.
Clark Coan, director of foreign student services, said the 37th annual festival of nations was different because it would be free and outside. The international dinner would be replaced by an evening of ethnic dances.
"What the International Club is doing is great," she said. "A lot of people don't realize what the diversity of the people is."
Ali-Raja said that 30 percent of the club's members were U.S. students. Student Senate finances the Festival of Nations.
