Fort Street Mall was lined with students at colorful booths as clubs vied for the attention of students at HPU’s Club Carnival. Nearly every booth had something to catch people’s attention: balloons, flags, candy, pictures of past events, native costumes, posters, or games for students to play. The Japanese Association’s game of “fishing” included catching a “fish”(an envelope) filled with candy and a phone card. [More]
