On Thursday, Mar.21, there were a lot of surprised faces on the DAKA premises. As students entered through the dining hall, the first items they saw were some new decorations and a large crowd. Most of them didn't know that this was Indian Night sponsored by DAKA and the ISO(Indian Student Organization). The regular 'Grille' area was still open, but DAKA had provided a new buffet line with a variety of Indian dishes. Some of the more popular were the Chicken Tandoori and the Long Beans. Although some students were not pleased with the food, most could appreciate the attempt (Indian food is not easy to make). I, for one, would love to see more cultural nights at DAKA. It is important for people to experience other cultures - and one important experience is food. Also, it's an excellent change of pace. DAKA will see some advantages because a lot of students who are not on the Meal Plan will be interested as well. DAKA had reduced charges to $5 for people who are not on the Meal Plan; the result: a good turnout!
