A dance featuring Latin music will close out the week on Friday from 7 p.m. to midnight in the Sunburst Lounge. Though many people feel the organization is just for Latinos, everyone is welcome to attend, Rubio said. Brad Brown, a sophomore majoring in civil engineering, was first exposed to Hispanic culture while serving a Spanish speaking LDS mission in Tennessee. After he returned last November, he missed the culture and decided to join HSU when he came up the USU this year. "For me it's being in the culture again, the whole culture — the language, the food, we're having a cookout. Ever since I've been back from my mission, I've missed the culture. Spanish is everywhere," Brown said. Nearly one-fourth of the active members in HSU are Caucasian. The group meets every Tuesday from 7:30-8 p.m. in Room 326E of the TSC (also called the Multicultural Lounge). Statesman file photo DlSPUYS OF LATIN-AMERICAN culture such as these are plentiful during Hispanic Heritage week. During the meetings, club members plan out activities, including a soccer tournament and Salsabration — which will be held April 15 as a night of Hispanic food and dance. The whole purpose of the club is to celebrate Hispanic culture from whatever country it may come. "You really get to meet people and you help people know who Hispanics are," club secretary Vianey Alarcon said about why she enjoys HSU. Club treasurer Edison Suasnavas said HSU also has an intramural soccer team that plays every Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. Many non-Hispanic players come to the games each week. "It's really fun [when] we hang out," Suasnavas said. "They laugh at us when we speak Spanish and they try to speak Spanish to us when we're in the field. It's really funny." HSU will officially be chancing their name to the Latino Student Union by the end of the year, Rubio said. The reason being that Latino refers to both the Central and Latin American countries, while Hispanic often means just the Central American countries.
