Diwali
By KATHY HEBERGER H
Assistant Carolina Life Editor si
Fire codes restrained the In- 11
dian Student Association from
shooting fireworks into the October
sky. But colorful lights and
powder artwork, hand painting, ?
sweets and information about In- C(
dian culture were available to
students on the Russell House
Patio for the celebration of
Diwali.
Diwali, which means "Festival
of Lights," is the celebration
of the Hindu god Rama's return
after 14 years in exile and also a
celebration of good over evil. In
India every Oct. 18, families
light up the night with firecrackers,
earthen candles and colored
lights, and they decorate the area
in front of their houses with rangoli,
flower patterns done in colorful
powder.
Indian Student Association
members said they wanted to
share their culture with Americans.
"We want to have a cultural
exchange. So many students
have Indian teachers in their labs
and see many Indian students on
campus and know very little ab
out us, Indian Student Association
Vice President Gagan Bhutani
said.
Students passing by the festival
sampled this hospitality as
they ate traditional Indian sweets
and had their hands painted. gi

iece by twentieth century composer David Diamond.
"It is an extremly difficult piece, but I think people
/ill be very surprised to see how the chamber orhestra
can pull it off. Technically, it's very challenglg,"
Rayner said.
Rehearsing since mid-August, the chamber orhestra
will conclude the concert with "Introduction
nd Allegro' by Edward Elgarda.
"I think it's a full program with several types of
rnsic covering different periods," Ricarte said. "The
hamber orchestra is comprised of USC's best string
layers, the cream of the cream."
The orchestra's 24 members were selected in the
eginning of the year at the USC symphony try-outs,
fsually comprised of strings alone, Ricarte said the
tiamber orchestra includes first and second violins,
iolas, cellis and basses.
Tickets for Tuesday's concert will be $5 for adults
nd $3 for students and senior citizens.
