Dance, comic skits add fun to International Night

HOUGHTON -- The theme for Michigan Tech's International Night 2008, held April 5 in the Rozsa Center, was "Story Telling Around the World." The MTU African Students Organization contributed a skit that tells a story in pidgin English, a combination of African language and English as used in West Africa. Their lively African dance tells another story ...
