Craft class eggs creativity, Ukrainian style Photo by Steven Sober Craft Center: Two new classes this term Matting course offered Two new classes offered this term at the EMU Craft Center include Ukrainian Easter eggs and a comprehensive course in matting and framing. The Ukrainian Easter egg class will introduce the student to the art of Ukrai nian egg dying. The student will be able to dye an average of two eggs each, under supervision. The Matting and framing course will include use of needlepoint, prints and photographs. The craft center, a non-profit organiza tion, is open to all University students, faculty, staff members and spouses for a membership fee of $4. Registration began Wednesday. The fee entitles members to explore the facilities, includ ing a woodshop, photolab, ceramic, silkscreen, calligraphy, jewelry, stained glass, painting, basketry, batik and other tools and equipment essential to these art forms. For an additional fee of $15 to $20, craft center classes are offered by an experienced staff. One of the more popular classes of fered this winter is a basic photography course, covering the essentials of film developing, printing black and white photographs, mounting and preparing photographs for displaying. Woodwork ing, ceramics and jewelry are other clas ses offered this term. Many of the new artifacts created at the craft center are judged and exhibited on the first floor of the EMU. MEChA withdraws from historical program Raymond Herrera, the MEChA director, was concerned that other ASUO groups would view this move as evidence of their isola tion from other student groups, a misconception which Herrera has been concerned about correcting. Because of the physical isolation of the MEChA office (it is on the third floor of the old EMU building; the other offices which are on the ground floor of the addition), communication has been difficult. “It’s getting better," however, said Herrera. Herrera said that in years past, MEChA has overspent their budget, and have had to rely on IFC cushion funds to take up the slack. “This year I want to prove we can be fiscally responsible,” said Herrera. Since MEChA sponsers a cul tural festival called Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for Fifth of May," which is when the event is held) soon after the symposium, Herr era feels that the organization cannot afford, in either dollars or manpower, to participate in both. Several years ago, when the Chicano population was over 100, the situation was different, said Herrera. This year there are only 35 Chicanos on campus, and he feels MEChA cannot justify the duplication of money and effort in volved in the two events. We’ve shifted our activities to Dancing to highlight India Night Dinner, dancing and music will highlight the annual “India Night” Saturday at 6 p.m. in the EMU Ballroom.

He said that he would like to see MEChA’s emphasis shift towards academic and educational activities, as op posed to social events. 4 ■ta yoing to hurt us in that people who attend the sym posium will note the absence of the Chicanos,” said Herrera. But in the long run, he feels it is a “realistic and practical move.” ______L wkftf'5 an emu?
