"I thought it was very successful," said Lynne Finton, Multicultural Center Coordinator. The International Student Club and the Utah Endowment for the Humanities sponsored the week. The events were coordinated by International Students Club President Jean Gagnon, and Peter Tagg, club vice president. Gagnon and Finton said that the most . successful events of the week were the lectures. "I was very pleased with the lectures," said Finton. "The speakers objectively addressed their various controversial topics. There's very little of Latin America not in controversy." The political crisis in Latin America is one of the reasons the International Week emphasized the region's culture, according to Gagnon. Gagnon said that the best lecture was that of Wesley Smith, at Convocation, about American involvement in Central America. "I feel that many people were interested in human rights in Nicaragua. Besides, it (the lecture) was a part of SUSC's curriculum," he said. Other lectures included those by Thomas Wright, dean of the College of Arts & Letters at i J x J mudir"C4 a to' iir - r the University of Nevada, Las Vegas; Mark Grover, Latin American librarian from BYU and Larry Doman, professor of languages & literature at Weber State College. The most historically interesting speaker was Ray Matheney, professor of anthropology & archaeology from BYU, who presentation to SUSC brought an audio-visuabout the recent find of a Mayan city, El Mirador, in Latin America which was highlighted in the September issue of National Geographic. Other special events included the International Dinner, International Club Entertainment Night, and the Toga Dance on Saturday. Unfortunately, the entertainment night conflicted with the Utah Symphony scheduled the same night. "The attendance was low but the quality high," said Gagnon. "Many acts were of high caliber." "We are discussing to repeat it (entertainment night)," said Finton. The entertainment night featured six countries' cultures and some of the traditions, according to Gagnon. "I was especially pleased to see community and increased faculty support," said Finton. "We appreciate them coming to the lectures despite their busy schedules." v ll f 1 Normals 1: hi ! t ! ;p t - fell 586-389- 6 lVi,Y0 Jilitivutc i rS?7L-- .
