LABOR OF LOVE - Two years of work initiated by Multicultural Studies and MEChA was unveiled May 8 when a mural depicting the history of racquetball was dedicated on the
college's Cinco de Mayo week-long celebration. "Through mural art I want to share the sensitivity that can touch hearts, and the motivation and inspiration to better our activities so that we may seek general wellbeing," said artist Edgar Olivares, one of the three students who spearheaded the project. The four-panel mural depicts the history of the ancient game which has become racquetball. It is native to the Americas, where the concept of the bouncing rubber ball was developed. More than an historical mural, however, "Transformacion Esferica" is a spiritual picture of mankind from past to future, ending with symbols of love, peace and the unity of the family structure. Artist Manuel Sepulveda sums up the work of the three students (George Papciak is the third member of the team): "Students can go beyond the mainstream and work together to create a perfected idea of love and happiness for everyone and everything, as Edgar, George and I have attempted to do."
Indian Studies has special film Three special showings of the film Dreamspeaker will be shown by the American Indian Studies Department Tuesday in room R-19. The film relates the story of a young non-Indian boy in a hospitalprison for male juveniles who is diagnosed as "untreatable" and subsequently escapes. He is found by a nootka shaman who uses a traditional Indian method of -psychoanalysis called "dreamspeaking'' to help the boy deal with his multiple personalities. The film is a powerful cultural comparison of treatment of psychiatric disorders, and it won the prestigious International Film Award in 1976. The free showings will be offered at 9:30 and 11 a.m. and 2 p;m. The public is welcome.
