Gonzalez, Chihuahua, Mexico,
sophomore, said he wanted to
prove to his citizens that the
city is a place where people can be pushy and lazy was inaccurate.
Tickets for each food dish cost 25 cents, and the money that was raised was put back into McColm Hall's budget for next year's fa
"People have this idea that Mexicans sleep all the time and never work," he said. "But I decided to show Americans what Mexican teens do and to let them decide for themselves what they thought about it."
Because of political problems in Iran, students from that country have not participated in the fair for four years, said Dari Parizadeh, Manhattan graduate student.
Gonzalez was one of about 40 EU students who participated in McColum Hall's annual International Fair. About 300 people visit each featured a Chinese scroll panel, fortune telling and a talent show.
Iranian students displayed mosaic jewelry boxes, pictures of hand made Persian rugs and a grape leaf basket with grape leaves and spicy mealtails.
Rashid Malik, Dhaka, Bangladesh, graduate student and coordinator of the fair, said he expected the fair to raise about $175.
Students from 13 countries displayed their personal belongings and offered samples of food from their native lands.
"We decided to participate in the fair this year because we wanted to show people that it's ridiculous to forget about Iran's history and concentrate only on what's been in the news," Parizadeh said.
Yasmin Malik, Dhaka, Bangladesh, freshman, displayed handmade silk saris — wrap-around dresses worn by women in Bangladesh — and necklaces made from elephants' teeth. She also pre-empted milk from the cream made from whipped cream and dried milk, and another called garbonzo, made from potatoes, eggs, lime and tomatoes.
"This is our third year at the fair, and I like participating in it because I can share my country with other people and also because I get to see others in their native costumes," she said.
It had appeared that Spain was not going to be represented this year because Pablo Alonso, Madrid, Spain, graduate student, ought that he did not have enough material to make a display table.
Rashid Malik said McCollum Hall had the fair so that people could gain a better understanding of other cultures.
Amir Kateouian, Lawrence graduate student, and Matt Kirby. Baldwin played saitans and basses in the instrumental instruments, in the talent show.
"Rashid Malik called me and told me to be proud of my country and what I had, so that's how he talked me into it," Alonso said.
"Unless we understand one another's cultures, it will be hard for people to overcome this barrier that seems to exist." Malik said.
The event has been a success for each of its past four years at McCollum Hall. he said.
When he came to KU in 1985, Malik started the fair at McColum Hall because there were so many international students.
"This year's fair was better than last year," Malik said. "More people showed up, and it was nice that we were appreciating other cultures."
AIDS program on condom use to start today
by Brett Brenner Kansan staff writer
The Student Senate AIDS Task Force is hoping that students will take its advice.
The task force is sponsoring a program called "Three Days in April, from April 3 to 6. Information about the prevention of AIDS will be delivered to 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. from tables in Kansas Union and on Wesco Beach.
"We will have information directed towards how AIDS is transmitted and how students can protect themselves," said Rick Newburn, senior junior and chairman of the task force. "We are going to focus on condoms."
She said that she thought people had gotten the general idea that they should use condoms, but that more specific information was lacking.
"People really need to start learning the specifics," she said.
He said this year's project was narrower in its scope than previous ones.
Steve St. Peter, Wichita senior and member of the task force, said the task force was fulfilling a responsibility.
"The mission of the task force has always been to educate," he said. "Our purpose here is to educate about the correct usage of condoms."
"This one is very specific," he said.
COMFORT, PROTECTION & STYLE
The task force also will be surveying students to find out if they would like condom machines on campus, Newburn said.
"We want to start getting some idea of the basic mood of camps," she said. "We would also like to get some discussion going about this."
In the survey, students will choose where condom machines should be installed from a list of campus locations.
