Exotic aromas Spice Food Fest
World foods, cultures celebrated
By Donna SI';con
A touch of international excitement surrounded
the East Union Thursday. The scene was the UNL
Worid Food Festival, a celebration designed to
increase awareness of international food.
Six food displays from five world regions were set
up. Each food sample was exchanged for a ticket,
which could be purchased at the door for 25 cents.
It was a chance to try food samples without a
commitment to a massive $20 meal, said Ed Kacz
marek, a junior geology major.
The Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resour
ces committee picked the regions and the recipes
were taken from an international cookbook, said
Mario Johnston, who organized the food prepara
tions through the East Campu3 Food Service. John
ston is the East Union assistant food manager.
Sloppy Joes on rolls were chosen to represent
North America. Another selection was Tandoori
chicken wingettes from Southeast Asia, made from
the drumstick part of the chicken wing and flavored
with a combination of mustard and curry.
Other food samples included sliced oranges in
syrup from the Middle East, egg rolls from the Far
East, tortillas con queso from Latin America and a
variety of hot teas and coffee from England and
Africa.
Johnston said the sample with the most cultural
interest was the couscous with vegetables from
North Africa. Couscous is a bland dish, resembling
cornmeal mush but without the gritty texture, she
said.
Eleven exhibits were shown by various depart
ments and clubs. The agronomy club, which deals
with soil and crop productions, presented the pro
gress it has made in its Morocco dryland farming
project. All exhibitors gave a 3 to 5 minute presenta
tion of how their groups relate to international food.
The most colorful display was done by the Japan-
ese agricultural students. Their display consisted of
paper origami dolli, playing cards with flowers
instead of traditional American suits and Japanese
writing.
P The Agricultural Economic Undergraduate Club
displayed various facts about Nebraska. Nebraska is
the sixth largest food producer in the United States
the exhibit said, and Li first in popcorn production'
The club gave free popcorn as part of their display
In the entertainment portion of the festival, the
United tatc3 was represented, by a barbershop
quartet that sang and then explained to the aud
ience how the four-part harmonies are put together.
Filipino women demonstrated their traditional
folk dancing with an improvisational dance imitat
ing the movement of ducks as they call the attention
of their mates. They also did a bamboo pole dance
that resembled Chinese jump rope.
Dancers from Japan did a hat dance and a tense
martial arts routine. Next was a foot-stomping
dance from Latin America, then harmonic songs
presented by Korean singers.
Following the entertainment, Vernon Larson, direct
or of International Agriculture Programming at
Kansas State University, addressed the audience.
He discussed the world food situation, its progress
and steps that can be taken to further improve the
situation.
A quiz contest featuring questions about the dis
plays and the festival followed the speech. Alpha
Zeta, the agriculture honorary, challenged three
faculty members. The Alpha Zeta team won and
took home a cake and ribbons.
More entertainment by singers and dancers end
ed the event. The festival attracted a crowd of about
150 people, some from several of the countries
represented in the festival
"We've been planning the festival since last fall
and we're excited with the way it turned out," said
Lynette Wagner, one of the event's organizers.

A student teacher from UNL quit to work on an
assembly line. The former student teacher's yearly
salary equalled the average pay for 13-year veteran
teachers at the state's eight top-paying school dis
tricts. . '
John O'Hanlon, dean of UNL's Teachers College,
said this is "a pretty good sign of what we value."
If values do not change, O'Hanlon said, teacher
shortage predictions may become reality. The Amer
ican Association of Colleges for Teacher Education
preducts a 20 percent teacher shortage within five
years. A Texas Christian University study predicted
' a similar shortage.
According to the TCU study, two-thirds of the
nation's college-bound students are not interested
in teaching careers. Low salaries and poor advance
ment opportunities keep them from teaching, the
study showed.
Another reason students shy away from teaching
careers is the low availability of teaching jobs.
O'Hanlon said this has caused enrollment in the
UNL Teachers College to decline. Undergraduate
enrollment here peaked in the early 1960s at 4,200
and is currently 2,300, he said.

The foremost concern of parents of college-bound
students is the job prospect. In the areas of educa
tion where jobs are abundant enrollment has in
creased. Enrollment has declined O'Hanlon said;
where job prospects are dim.
Another reason for decreased UNL enrollment is
that teachers do not encourage their students to
become teachers as often as they did in the past,
O'Hanlon said.
O'Hanlon said he expects enrollment to decrease
to 2,000 before it turns around. He said the universi
ty's ability to provide the number of teachers needed
for the next five to 10 years concerns him.
While the number of graduated teachers is declin
ing, elementary school enrollment is predicted to
increase, O'Hanlon said. Increased births, and larger
kindergarten and first grade classes show the need
for more elementary teachers, O'Hanlon said.
Some states already have shortages of certified
teachers, O'Hanlon said. He said Texas is an exam
ple; Houston has an agreement to hire almost every
teacher that UNL sends to it
To attract more people to teaching careers,
O'Hanlon said, schools should improve pay, advance
ment opportunities, working conditions and job sta
tus. RHA revises bylaws
The Residence Hall Association Thursday night
passed one revision to its bylaws, but defeated two
others.
The approved revision switches the responsibility
of presiding over meetings from the vice president
to the president.
Among the defeated revisions was one that would
have eliminated salaries for RHA executives. Cur
rently the RHA president, vice president, secretary,
treasurer and executive assistant are paid a salary.
The other defeated revision would required all
representatives to serve on a committee. Propo
nents argued that attendance might increase if
representatives served on committee. However, RHA
members opposed argued that if representatives do
not attend meetings, they probably would not be
active on committees Another concern was that the
requirement could not be enforced.
Shelley Wolfe, RHA secretary, talked about RHA
Week. The Foodfast on March 7, Ash Wednesday, is
an opportunity for residents to donate to a local -charity
the money used to preprje one dinner. Stu
dents sign a form distributed by RHA agreeing to
have their Validine cards turned off for one meaL
The money saved will be donated to the Lincoln
Council on Alcoholism and Drugs.
The preliminary rounds of the Trivia Bowl will be
March 1 and 2. The Trivia Bowl u a contest between
four-person teams trying to answer trivia questions.
The top prize is $100. Applications still are being
accepted. The semi-final and "final rounds will be
open to the public.
