By SHWETA KOUL NEWS STAFF

Students competed in the first-ever Chinese Cook-off this past Friday to celebrate the richness of Chinese culture for International Education Week. The event was co-sponsored by the Paul J. Burgett Intercul- tural Center and the Chinese Student and Scholar Associa- tion. Students and faculty were welcome to enjoy the food and vote for the winner of the cook- off. The competition was not only to celebrate Chinese cul- ture with authentic food, but also to provide a sense of com- fort for international students. “Chinese students are a large group among the internation- al students,” Shasha Cui, a graduate assistant with the In- tercultural Center, said. “We know it’s very hard to study abroad and leave family by themselves. There’s not really authentic Chinese restaurants here.” DIWAS GAUTAM/ PHOTO EDITOR Five students cooked meals Students set up for the Chinese Cook-Off last Friday afternoon.

PAGE 12 / campustimes.org MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2017 ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT TOOP Mystifies With ‘The Accidental Death of an Anarchist’ By TRACY XU CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Shrouded in mystery and drama, The Opposite of People’s most recent production takes viewers through unexpected twists and turns to solve the accidental death of an anarchist. Aptly named, “The Accidental Death of an Anarchist” is loosely based on real-life events surround- ing Italian anarchist Giuseppe Pi- nelli. The play mainly focuses on the events that follow Pinelli’s “acci- dental” fall from the fourth floor of a police building. Somewhere between musical theater and comedy, the group’s recent performance of the show combined brilliant acting, tasteful comedic scenes, and unique audi- ence interactions to immerse the audience in the soul of the play. Despite the darkness of the play’s material, perfectly placed comedy scenes lightened up the story and captivated the audience’s’ attention.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2017 / A&E campustimes.org / PAGE 13 After Hours Reaches Toward the Future With ‘The Year 3000’ By LOUKIA AYDAG CONTRIBUTING WRITER

After Hours, one of the two co-ed acappella groups on cam- pus, performed its fall show this past Friday. Themed around the year 3000, the group came for its first half dressed in futuristic attire and opened with the Jo- nas Brothers’ cover, “The Year 3000.” This combo captivated the audience from the very be- ginning and brought everyone on board for a futuristic night of fun and falsettos. I thought some songs were better than others. In saying this, I did have quite a few fa- vorites. “Bottom of the River” and “Omen” were tied as my favorites. I listen to a decent amount of acapella and I want- ed to capture these performanc- es so I could listen to them over and over afterwards. “Bot- tom of the River,” originally by Delta Ray, blew me away.
