Life, in Cuba lecture topic
Changes in the quality of Cuban life since the revolution in 1959 will be explored in a slide presentation and a video. 3:30 to morning in 4851 Wesco Hall.
Philip Allhoff, associate professor of political science at Kansas State University, will show slides covering developments and health and child care.
"If there is a basic theme, it is that Cuba is alive and well." Althoff said.
Althoff, who received his doctoral degree in political science from the University of Iowa, has written several articles on Cuba and Latin America. He也曾参加过两次联合国大会,他 visited it for the first time in July 1899, a few months after the revolution.
"It was a strange place," Althoff said. "There was a lot of wealth, but also a lot of poverty."
The problems aren't as noticeable now, he said. Education is free, and housing is generally costing 10 percent of what the highest wage earned in the family makes.

Deborah Barker and Sandra Williams, assistant instructors in the Kress Foundation department of Art History, conducted a gallery tour this week.
"Only a small portion of Count Bethany Hue's collection is here," Williams said. "Hue went further than just collecting things. He actually tried to retrace Kokoschka's steps. And since Kokoschka was a tacitual fellow, he had quite task before him."
AS A VOLUNG artist in Vienna, Kokoschka was influenced by the French avant-garde movement, Barker said.
"He referred to Kokoschka as his 'Virgil, the man who opened up my eyes.'"
Kokoschba left Vienna for Berlin early in his career because Vienna was "not entirely kind in its recession to him." Williams said.
In Berlin, Kokoschka had several illustrations published in the magazine Dazer Sturm (The Storm), published by Herworth Walden.
"It was kind of an expressionist magazine," Williams said, "and the intent

The investment you make today is tomorrow priceless treasure
"Longesty" kind of suggests that if you go slow, you will live longer. Williams said. "Kokoschka, who died at the age of 94, probably followed this advice."
A slide lecture and gallery tour will be conducted on April 20 by Elizabeth Brown, curator of prints and drawings.

A workshop for senior high school students, "Reading Biographies in Faces," will explore the psychological implications of Kokosecha's portraits.
In 1908, Kokschaes play a play entitled "Morder Hoffnung der Frauen (Murder Hope of Women)." He recruited performers from the Cabaret F尔德腣曼sation, which was about a struggle between Man and Woman, the lead characters.

"This kind of ambiguity between woman, the mother, and woman, the female fatale, is what Kokosha picks up from Munch," Williams said.
IN OTHER drawings do play for the play, and the performer who face was presented in dwarfish form in a three-quarter turn to suggest movement. Williams said Picasso picked up on this by using the same gesture.
