Anthony Gibson, vice president of the association, said International Week is designed for interaction among all students at A&M. By hav ing a variety of activities that are open to everyone, students become aware of the association’s existence he said. Students get a chance to see what we have to offer culturally and to understand and appreciate it more, he said. At 8 tonight, a music and dance show will personify the folklore of the different countries. Admission is 50 cents. Human rights violations will be the subject of Wednesday’s display in the MSC. The purpose is to create an awareness of the human rights violations that occur in vari ous countries of the world. Gibson said he felt this was a very timely issue. The display will cover obscure issues that receive little news media coverage. The evening will end with an in door soccer game beginning at 8. Gibson said this should be a real novelty as it is not played anywhere in the U.S. The exhibition game will be played at G. Rollie White Col iseum by three teams consisting of players from six countries. A folklore mini-show will be held Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the MSC Lounge. It will consist of contemporary international music and songs that will be presented by several student groups in their na tive tongue. The highlight of the day will be a food fair.
