look of me °World by Lindsay Nash| While the Ole Miss Grove has long-set Southern traditions of playing host to tailgating, concerts and beautiful afternoon picnics, it was also home to the fifth annual WorldFest, attracting international students, faculty and local residents to display their cultures. WorldFest 2003, presented by the Office of International Programming and sponsored by the Croft Institute for International Studies and the Ole Miss Parents Association, represented more than 70 different cultures through song, dance, food and games. The April 15 event kicked off with a procession of flags from more than 70 countries, beginning with Argentina and | ending with Yemen, followed by WorldGames and WorldStage. The games included more than 15 international sports and games. Newly hired basketball coach Carol Ross opened the games with sports ranging from soccer, badminton and croquet, to lesser-known activities such as cricket and ratanball. WorldStage showcased cultural songs, dances, performances and fashion shows. The Ole Miss Steel Drum Ensemble and Seven Plague Prophecy performed popular songs, and 8-year-old Sukanya Sapre from Oxford performed a contemporary Indian dance. Charles Washington, a sophomore from Oxford, attended ' WorldFest to learn more about a culture different from his own. Ole Miss has such a large international student population land I feel that we normally do not interact that much, |washington said. This gives us the chance. Between WorldGames and WorldStage, a food festival was Iheld featuring various native foods prepared by faculty and students. The food festival included everything from sticky rice |from Laos to sushi from Japan. Mounirah Alazeib, a graduate student from Yemen, [volunteered to write students ' names in Arabic. I went out jthere to mix with different cultures and learn more about Ithem, said Alazeib, who has only been in the United States |since January. I wanted to get out and meet new people. With over 1,000 people in attendance, WorldFest 2003 ' successfully showcased the atmosphere of diversity that is Ivalued at Ole Miss. Through dance and fashion, many students showed their cultural traditions. To begin the WorldFest activities, children paraded flags from around the world down the Walk of Champions. worldfestl 21
