Ethnic Relations Class Lets
Students Look At Reflection
Americans are increasingly
conscious of minority - majority
relations. The last two decades,
with all of their protests, freedom
marches, and demonstrations,
turned America's eyes and ears
upon the ethnic relations within our
nation. "Ethnic Relations" has
done just that for a portion of the
population of CBC; it has turned
students eyes to the minority-majority relations around us and their
ears to individual's cry for freedom.
This class has proven to be a
mirror in which students can view
the problems in ethnic relations
within their society. Through the
specified readings, guest speakers, lectures, and discussions,
the class imparted into it's mem-'
bers a sense of "social awareness".
Many realities in the problems
involved in ethnic relations were
recognized and studied. Realities
of racism, stereo - typing, and
skapegoating were recognized and
viewed through a historical, social and personal spectrum. Many
overt problems were discussed
and many covert problems were
discovered and recognized.
This class has proven not only
to be a mirror off of which students can bounce the racial reflection of their society but also
their own racial reflection. Thus
the class has provided it's members with a sense of "self awareness". The members of the class
have been confronted with their
own raeiai seif-image.
The questioning and testing of
individual   ideals,   commitments,

values, and convictions has been
an essential by-product of this
class. Individual class members
were confronted with a reflection
of themselves and then asked to
re-evaluate their values and test
their convictions. --"
1 "Ethnic Relations" has opened
the eyes of many class members
to the real problems involved when
many different races, creeds, and
colors of people strive to live and
to work within a given area. Problem areas were viewed on a personal as well as a social level,
giving the individual a seif-aware-
ness as well as a social-awareness.

By GEORGE LEWIS
A painting, according to Dr.
Irving Shaw, is 'dead' art. When
the last stroke had been applied
to the canvas, it is finished. It
cannot be improved, or added to.
But a play is living art. Each night,
a new  'painting' must be painted.
These were some of Dr. Shaw's
thoughts on acting, in reference to
the play, "The Madwoman of Chail-
lot," to be presented at the end of
February. Dr. Shaw is the head of
the drama department.
There are obstacles to overcome, Shaw said. The play calls
for approximately 40 actors, and
the  drama department  isn't that
big. Also, the department has almost no budget. Dr. Shaw finds
himself spending $100 on things
that should get $2000.
He offered his speech students
a chance to work in the play, acting on stage, or crew work. Many
of them complied. Dr. Shaw felt it
would be a learning experience,
and a good one. According to him,
acting presents a whole new set of
circumstances that never comes
to an orator. That is where living
art comes in. The actor should sit
down, and figure what kind of character he can make ofthe role he is
to play.
This in itself is a problem, in
that the volunteers from Shaw's
speech classes aren't serious actors.
According to Dr. Shaw, they
should  think  of this play as fun.
But, there is even art in this.
If Dr. Shaw can take 40 people
with scripts in their hands and no
knowledge of where to put their
feet, and turn them into smooth
flowing, neat actors, that will be
art. Forty people on a stage is
chaos; but 40 actors on a stage is
living art.
The play will be presented on
Feb.* 28 and March 1 in the Book
of Life building.

is only five years old, and Larry
serves as its Sunday School Superintendent.
This summer Larry will begetting married to Marcia Vander-
Laan from South Dakota, whom he
met here in southern California.
The couple plan to live in Santa
Ana. For Larry the future looks
bright and full of promise.
