Monday, April 18, 1933 Daily Nebraskan 7 o n O i n MW1 lmmm Hy Marcia Warkentin The Centennial Room of the Nebraska Union Saturday provided a tuste of cultures from all over the world. It was the night of the second annual International Student Banquet. Eighty four national flags lined the room. The suits and dresses worn by the guests were interspersed with saris, kimonos, batik shirts, kaftans, ajajabhegbes and other national costumes. Background music ranged from Western classical to the folk songs of Africa, China, Japan and India. The International Students Organization, which sponsored the event, had planned on only 500 guests, but about 580 people packed the room to sample 13 dishes from seven countries. Using recipes from their home countries, students prepared the food, which included dishes such as chicken curry, bean pie, potato salad, yellow rice, coconut pudding and baklava. The evenings cultural show began with three dances: a bamboo dance from the Philippines, in which a couple danced in and out between two bamboo poles, a graceful Chinese sword dance; and a festive Nigerian dance. u A group of Lebanese students performed two popular l,cbancsc songs and a belly dancer performed the Arabian tray dance by balancing a tray of lighted candles on her head. Several Indonesian students performed folk songs and the marge pati dance, a dance imitating the movements of a tiger in the jungle. Japanese students performed two traditional Buddhist dances which ended with their holding up their mino kasas or large hats, which spelled the words "Nebraska" and "Japan." The highlight of the cultural show was the demonstration of a typical Malaysian marriage ceremony on stage, complete with costumes, martial arts and dances. At the end of the ceremony, Richard Armstrong, vice chancellor for student affairs, Peter Levitov and Judy Wendorff of the International Educational Services were invited on stage to give their blessings to the "newly wedded" couple. They did so by sprinkling bunga rampai (flower petals) and air mawar (rose water) on the heads of the bride and groom. The last event was a global fashion show, displaying clothing from 1 1 countries.
