The event's purpose was to create awareness cf international culture within the university and community. Increased membership in the International Student Organization was also a goal of the festival. Thirty-two nationalities and related organizations had booths displaying dolls, flags, literature, foods, slide/cassette shows, movies, native costumes and other cultural materials. Live entertainment was given from 12 to 1 o'clock featuring a Korean dance by Kim Shipman in native dress; Jamaican folk dance performed by Jamaican students, arranged by Angela Chung; a Greek dance by Albie and Geni Gilman; English folk dances by June Benson's dance class; a Brazilian Samba, a native dance arranged by Fernando Guimaraes; mountain dancing by Camp Laboratory School Clogging team, directed by Bonnie Mincey; African songs by Ron Simmons and Sheryl McMillan; selections by the Organization of Ebony Students Choir; and instrumental selections by Blanton Owen. Additional entertainment was presented by the Kuuti family in the form of a Finnish string folk music program at two o'clock. The cultures, programs and organizations included in the festival were Jamaica, the Bahamas, Ireland, India, Mexico, Vietnam, Nigeria, Nepal, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, Circle K, Pakistan, Taiwan, Indonesia, Austria, Middle East, Britain, Organization of Ebony Students, Singapore, Korea, Panama, Dominican Republic, Cherokee Indian, Amnesty International, Host Family Program, Camp Lab International Relations Club, Girl Scout Troops 158 and 103 and Chancellor Robinson's slide program. The festival had excellent turnout from university and community members. Besides being attended by students from all Jackson County elementary schools and various Cullowhee High School students, the festival was visited by WLOS Channel 13 news with anchorwoman Sicily Hand sampling the international flavor. The displays varied greatly, ranging from Mexican post cards to Panamanian beer. Among the displays, Ireland presented films on Irish dancing, travel posters, and samples of barmbrack, a traditional Irish tea bread. Indonesia, in addition to various artifacts, features numerous culinary treats such as pork Surabaya ( native shishkabobs); Gado Gado, (salad); and Shrimp Chips, a pleasant alternative to Lay's Potato Chips. Handmade Mahoe bowls, embroidered straw baskets and a film on economic and social growth were highlights of Jamaica's display. Jamaican representative Joan Baldie, who cited her country's major exports as tobacco, cocoa and rum, commented about the national flag, flower, and fruit. Jamaica's slogan is "Out of many, one people." Panama's unique culture was represented by native dolls and clothing, pamphlets and a beer can display. Kathy Parker, Panamanian representative, discussed American intervention and its effects on Panama. She stated that its diverse Spanish, Black and Indian culture has remained basically intact, although the Canal Zone has suffered from cultural differences with America. She also described Panama's variant and interesting geography. Camp Lab School's International Relations Club Educators A group of some 40 individuals representing a cross section of the educational community will convene at WCU's Hinds University Center Tuesday, May 6, for a Tennessee Valley Authority practitioners conference on energy education. The group will attempt to define the present state-of-the-art, identify energy education needs and make recommendations for meeting those needs. Attending the conference, which runs from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., will be teachers (K-12), administrators and support personnel from the public schools, as well as state energy officials, coordinators from the state department of education, special interest groups actively involved in energy education, environmental center representatives, and others such as curriculum design personnel. The conference is co-sponsored by the Center for Environmental-Energy Education, the department of science education at WCU, and Western's division of continuing education. presented an elaborate collection of German post cards, dolls, and a slide-tape show about the Far East. Mr. Ronald Waldrop, teacher and club sponsor, asserted that the festival was, "interesting, creative, informative and exciting." Waldrop and his students were happy to have a part in such an international relations effort. Amnesty International, a worldwide organization concerned with the freedom of political prisoners, presented newsletters and other literature about its purpose. In their terms, a political prisoner is anyone held captive for their national, religious, social or political beliefs. The movement has had a growing success rate. Black, Appalachian and Cherokee Indian cultures were represented. The Black American booth displayed various articles about their heritage; the Indian booth presented corn-shuck dolls and basket weaving; the mountain heritage showed folklore and crafts. Various forms of art were exhibited by the Korean booth, including ceramic curios, lacquer engraving and traditional prints. All nationalities were well represented by the International Students Organization. A festival committee comprised of foreign students was set up to cover the twenty-one nationalities involved. The committee included Co-ordinator Anne Loughlin from Ireland, Deepak Gelot from India, Fernando Guimaraes, Joan Baldie and Desna Robinson from Jamaica, and Emmanual Oyeyiola from Nigeria. Commented Co-ordinator Loughlin, "This is the first time for International Day; I'm proud that it was so successful." She was pleased with the contributions of all participants. She hopes that International Day will become an annual event at WCU. Indonesian representative Dirk Van Gill summed up the international effort in saying, "I'm glad that International Day took place; the foreign students need recognition." He felt that the event would help them to feel more at home. All organization members hope that feelings of international friendship and understanding were promoted by the festival. Participants look forward to an even larger festival next year. ■•■:*;:•:>;>;:•::•;>:». >,j».
