I F you wanted to travel abroad but lacked the finances, International Week at UK provided the free ticket to a world of cultural experiences.
Sponsored annually by the International Student Office of Human Relations Center, International Week was scheduled the first week in April. The objective was to promote discussion of current international issues in today's world.
Lectures, films, discussions, luncheons, entertainment, and workshops highlighted the week's activities.
Handcrafted items such as pipes from Turkey, Chinese paintings by two famous oriental artists, an African mask, and Peruvian East Indian items were on display at an International Bazaar.
International deserts were served at a "Street Cafe" in the Student Center and a Mexican luncheon was held in the Alumni Gym.
Travel films and a CBS film special, "Misunderstanding China", were shown during the week. Dr. Denis Goulet, director of developmental change, Harvard University, spoke on "Technology and the Struggle for World Development".
A workshop on Cross-Cultural Understanding was held featuring John Heise, director of international student Affairs, University of Michigan.
