The Forty Acres Fest, hosted by University of Texas Campus Events + Entertainment Texas Traditions and Headliners Committees, gave many students an escape from RoundUp and the heat on March 28. The all-day event took place at the Main Mall with organizations from around campus providing cheap food and activities until 7 p.m. Alternative rock bands Smallpools and Ra Ra Riot then closed out the evening with killer performances.
Children of immigrants are torn between two worlds, constantly seeking a middle ground to call home. They face the challenge of learning to fit in with their environment, while simultaneously upholding the culture of their ancestors. For the women of Nritya Sangam, the only traditional Indian dance troupe at the University of Texas at Austin, every day is a celebration of the past they refuse to let die.
