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.
