Does your mouth water at the sight of tacos? French pastries? spicy Indian curries? Perhaps you were among the over two thousand students who satisfied their international tastes at the annual International Food Fair during lunchtime. Oet. 19. As students enjoyed incredibly low-priced — most plates cost $2.50 — meals, they also experienced international entertainment. Spanish professor Carlos Mansantano. along with his daughter, played the marimba, a Spanish xylophone. The Guatemalan Students Association performed a vigorous Guatemalen dance, while the Hlaek Students Union read poetry. Most booths sold out by 1:30pm. leaving typical profits of $200. This was the one exception to the prohibition of bringing outside food into the UC. Alex Abraham noted that the Student Pro- gram Hoard loaned the audio equipment and raised funds with exclusive Coca-cola sales. Kreka. president of the International Students Organization, said ISO sposors the event annually to display and educate students about the background of various cultures. Thus. ISO decided to drop booth competition, harmonizing international organizations. ► Sunil N.
