to be repeated
The popularity of the

Last year's festival
showcased the different
cultures of foreign students
attending TSU. Native

were set up, native dances
were performed and in-
formation was shared.
All foreign students who
are interested in par-
ticipating in the upcoming
festival are asked to meet
with Dr. Donald Zelman,
associate professor of
