| Transcript | A memorial to H.Roy Cullen in El Dia de los Muertos Exhibit at the Lawndale Art and Performance Center. Photo by Mark Lacy And While fans cheered the Cougars on to the Aloha Bowl, and while commuting or living on campus and attending classes became more routine, students increasingly witnessnessed the worldliness around them. Even as they searched to find displaced classrooms, the UH signed a $1.5 million contract with Du Pont, bringing out to the world the advancement of superconductivity research by faculty member Dr.Paul Chu. In another corner of the university, the Japanese philanthropist Ryoichi S^sakawa personally received an honarary professorship for his $3 million donatation to the College of Architecture's International Center for Space Architecture, a measure towards world peace. Each step, in each college, like the Hitlon College of Hotel and Restaurant's second-in- the-nation ranking, brings the university worldwide attention . . . into the eyes of the world. In no way was this more visible than the international composition on campus. From international art, foreign-student exchange programs, and study abroad to In- ternational Food Fair, celebrations of Chicano Week, Asian Week and the like, the campus reflected a peak of internationalism. The worldy influence is seen in numbers as well, in the increasing international student enrollment, and the number of international organizations, from Armenians to Zorroastrians. If the world is made of people, and people believe what they see with their own eyes, then it was in the students' view that the university had entered a world-class dimension >Sandhy a A.
