| Biographical/Historical Note |
The following is a video clip from an oral history interview with Mayumi Call. "We sponsored Japan Festival at Union Building for many years so that the student body get acquainted with Japanese food and culture through music, dance, and cultural programs, and community can also come and participate. For several years we used the ballroom stage at the Union Building. On other years our students cooked Japanese food and sold to students at the Union Building also. Another thing we did was Japanese Speech Contest. That involved other universities in the state. Besides Weber State, Japanese language students representing Utah State, BYU, and University of Utah. We took turn hosting each year. We did that for several years so we hosted at least two or three times and we went different universities for other years. We had judges and gave the winners of different levels different prizes. It was quite competitive and exciting. " |
