The Indian Students Association performed
a simulation of a traditional Indian wedding for India Night
2002 Saturday.
Guests received a traditional bindi as they entered the SUB Ballroom.
The bindi is a red dot placed on the forehead between the eyes.
Nafisa Naik, the bride in the mock wedding, said bindis are now
used mainly for fashion, but traditionally they were used "to
ward off the evil eye."
The evening began with a prayer, national anthems and a welcome
address. Slides of Indian architecture, culture and landscape
gave outsiders a glimpse of India.

of the first five batters.
Thanks to an outfield assist at the plate by right fielder Kevin
Jeffreys, the Vandals kept a scoreless game going into the top
of the third inning.

Take your pick; Annual guitar festival offers many
musical treats
by Windy Hovey
special to the argonaut
Just mention "guitar" and UI graduate
students Travis Silvers and Nenad Savic get a similar energetic
spark in their eyes, like they struck a topic they could spend
hours discussing without tiring.
If the two guitarists had the time, that is. Silvers and Savic
squeezed in time for interviews in between teaching, practicing
and preparing for the Northwest Guitar Festival, on campus Thursday
through Saturday
