hungry. Whenever I get that pang of
hunger, I can remember that my Savior
died on a cross for me."
For Cox, being in college has enriched
her observances of Holy Week.
"I've done more than I used to
because there is more available," she
said. "At PALM, there is something to
do almost every day during Holy Week.
My home church did some special things,
but mainly just Palm Sunday and Easter
services."
This week also signifies the start of
the Passover celebration for the Jewish
faith. Passover is an ancient religious
tradition that celebrates the exodus of
the Jews from slaveiy in ancient Egypt
The celebration begins at sundown on
Thursday and continues for seven days
in Reform Judaism and eight days in
the Orthodox and Conservative traditions.
"The first day of the celebration
characterizes the Seder, which is a ritual
meal that consists of the telling of the
story of God's deliverance of the
Israelites," Rabbi Sanford Marcus said.
During the Seder, those present take
turns reading from a booklet, Haggadah
On the Seder plate there are certain
symbols that remind the Jewish people
about their faith and heritage. Among
the items on the Seder are unleavened
bread-Matzah, bitter herbs and a roasted
shank bone of a lamb.
Marcus said the symbols remind
Jews of the bitterness of slavery, the
greatness of God and of the approaching
spring season.
For Jewish people, celebration of the
Seder traditionally takes place in the
house. Since it isn't always feasible for
students and other Jews to celebrate
the Seder in their homes, local
synagogues are also onermg services.
Marcus said Jewish people are
"charged" to open their homes to anyone
during the celebration of the Seder.
There are some in Columbia doing just
that by opening their homes to Jewish
students from USC during Passover.
These homes allow the students to "link
up with home hospitality for the holiday."
"Passover reminds us of sharing our
bounty with others," Marcus said. "One
way of doing that is to invite strangers
in. Others bring gifts to people who are
ill, or shut in."
For the Jewish people, the acts
involved in celebrating Passover are
tied to a song sung during'Passover
"let all who are hungry come and eat."
Passover is also a time of deep spiritual
reflection for Jewish people.
"It reminds us that God delivered
the Israelites and his continued goodness
keeps us alive and sustains us, Marcus
said.

interested as part of the week's
celebrations. During the dinner, the
international students will prepare foods
from their native countries to teach others
about their culture.
"Food is a common theme (among all
students), and it's an expression of the
(international students,) cultures, rood
is something they take with them,"
Emmert said.
The 1996 International Festival on
Thursday will mark the high point of the

Arthur said over 40 different study
abroad organizations will be present at
the festival. Students attending the festival
will also be able to sample foods and the
culture from countries around the world.
Through the festival, the office hopes
to showcase some of the diversity at USC.
"People often don't realize there is
such diversity on campus," Arthur said.
'This is an opportunity fcr the international
students to educate and share their culture
with others.

Arthur said International Week is
one way American students can learn
mere about international students' cultures
and countries.
American students can help
international students in their transition
to American life by befriending them.
"Americans can take a little more
initiative" Arthur said. When first meeting
one another, "international students don't
know what to say; they expect the
Americans to make introductions."

activities as they try to experience
everything they can about the American
culture. However, the international
students also enjoy talking about their
own culture and heritages.
"They love it when Americans are
interested in their culture," Emmert said.
"When you go to an international student's
room, you go to talk, not to watch
television."
Emmert said one can learn what the
rest of the world has to offer by talking
with international students.
