Ermo, China, 1994; in Mandarin with English Subtitles; color/98 min.; directed by Xiaowen Zhou, Friday/Saturday, 8 p.m., Sunday 2 p.m., ARH 302. (Internet Movie Database)
Ermo (Ailiya) wants nothing more than a 29-inch color TV. But for a poor noodle-maker in a provincial Chinese village this is an extraordinary desire that requires the heroic sacrifices of a mythical quest. Frustrated at home and envious of her relatively wealthy neighbors, Ermo decides that having the biggest TV in her county, even though she is not interested in watching it, will supply the personal satisfaction and community standing that she lacks. She will stop at nothing, including selling her own blood, to acquire this technological jewel. The director, clearly sympathetic to his characters' flaws and foibles, uses a light touch to point out the dark underside of China's economic reforms. "Ermo is a vivacious, enthralling comedy-drama ... a lyrically drawn glimpse of transcendent human spirit" San Francisco Chronicle.
Next week's film: Hyenas (Senegal, 1994).
El Mariachi by Robert Rodriguez, 1993. In Spanish with English subtitles. 83 minutes. (Internet Movie Database) El Mariachi is perhaps the cheapest made movie that you can find in your video store. For only $7,000, Rodriguez made this south of the border comedy/action that sparked a resurgence of indie filmmaking. Playing in ARH 302, Monday, February 16 at 8 p.m. Next week's film: Slacker.
Eight Songs for a Mad King, by composer Peter Maxwell Davis and lyricist Randolph Stow, will be performed by the Minnesota Contemporary Ensemble at 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 19, in Herrick Chapel. The piece is an extravagant, disturbing and poignant portrayal of the madness of King George III of England, monarch during the American Revolution and subject of the famous film and stage play a few years ago.
The music is based on ravings spoken by the king himself as well as original texts by British writer Randolph Stow suggested by a miniature mechanical organ playing eight tunes, once the property of King George III. The virtuoso vocal performer interacts with an instrumental ensemble that includes flute, clarinet, piano (doubling on harpsichord and dulcimer,) violin, cello, and a large collection of percussion instruments (including crow call, steel bars, toy bird calls, foot cymbals, railway whistle, jingle bells, chains, and rachet.)
For this performance, the flutist plays from within a giant 9-foot by 6-foot birdcage, portraying one of the birds that the monarch tries to teach to sing. The vocal performance, to be given in full costume by the Minnesota Contemporary Ensemble's guest artist Robert Osborne, incorporates a wide range of vocal effects, including screams, glissandi, chords, speech-singing, wide vibrato, and a singing range of nearly 5 octaves.
Other works on the MCE concert include a composition for violin and electronic tape, Rising Blue, by John Morrison, and a light-hearted romp through various European musical styles, Concertino Mediterraneo by Linda Robbins Coleman. Both Morrison and Coleman are Iowa-based composers. There will be a reception afterwards in the first-floor lobby of ARH.
Key Largo is the third film Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall made together. Riding high on the couple's popularity, the studio spared nothing to bring the best Hollywood had to offer to the project. The plot is based on the popular Maxwell Anderson play, Lionel Barrymore and Edward G. Robinson are in the cast, and John Huston directs. The story is centered on the Bogart character, who arrives in the Florida Keys on his boat and becomes involved with gangsters and with a woman. Suspense increases when the hoods take over his hotel in the midst of a hurricane. Because the atmosphere is often foreboding, filled with an air of impending danger, critics sometimes called the film a melodrama. However it is labeled, the action is `Typical Bogart.' Thursday Feb. 19—9:15 p.m.—Harris—101 minutes. (Internet Movie Database)
Next week's film: To Sir With Love, starring Sidney Poitier.
The Russian Department will be showing the first film of its Spring '98 Russian Film Festival, Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears ([Moskva slezam ne verit] Russia, 1980, color, dir. Vladimir Menshov) on Tuesday, February 17 at 8 p.m. in ARH 302. The setting for the 1980 Academy Award Winner for Best Foreign Film is Moscow in 1958. Three small town girls have just arrived to pursue their separate dreams in the big city. Ludmila looks upon life in Moscow as a lottery in which it's possible to win the grand prize: a boyfriend in the form of a star hockey player. Antonina, by contrast, settles for a stable marriage to a working class laborer. Katerina meets a man who, at first, seems ideal, but who quickly abandons her when he learns of her pregnancy. Twenty years later, after raising her daughter and building a successful career, Katerina still leads a lonely existence—until she meets Gosha, the man with whom she will finally change her life. (Internet Movie Database)
The concert by the St. Cloud State University Choir, originally scheduled for Friday, February 20, 8 p.m., Herrick Chapel, has been canceled.
This week's film is cult favorite, Harold and Maude. Harold (Bud Cort), a 20-year old preoccupied with death, meets fellow funeral Maude (Ruth Gordon), and falls in love with her, despite the 60 year age gap between them. Soundtrack by Cat Stevens. Directed by Hal Ashby (Shampoo, Coming Home), written by Colin Higgins (Foul Play, 9 to 5). 93 minutes, 1971. (Internet Movie Database)

We are pleased to announce that on February 6, 1998, the Board of Trustees approved the FY 1999 budget to include a Fund for Excellence with an initial allocation of $5.7 million. This fund will be available beginning July 1, 1998, and is explicitly for innovative projects that are consistent with Grinnell's core values and long-term goals. See addendum to Campus Memo for more details.
The Fund for Excellence will encourage the entire college community to begin planning for Grinnell's future. We believe that superb initiatives to improve Grinnell College will come from the discussion and planning of the community. Some of the projects may stem from the initial ideas generated at the faculty retreat of January 23 and 24. We encourage you to build on the creative energy of that experience, to explore, evaluate, brainstorm, and plan.
Decisions regarding the allocation of the Fund for Excellence will be made by on-campus decision-makers, most notably the president. The Board will continue its role of asking for clarity of goals in the use of these funds and will ask for evidence regarding whether these goals are being met by the activities supported by the Fund.
We are confident that initiatives for this fund will energize a collaborative effort for achievement at the highest levels of excellence.

Free the Planet is hosting a rally in support of the Endangered Species Act on Wed. Feb. 18th. The rally will be held outside Senator Tom Harkin's Des Moines office to persuade him to take a strong leadership role in protecting the Endangered Species Act. The ESA is widely considered to be the best piece of environmental legislation ever passed in the United States. Many species, such as California sea otters, bald eagles, peregrine falcons, wild turkeys, wolves, and many others have come back from the brink of extinction thanks to the ESA. It is vital that a strong version of the ESA passes Congress this spring so the success stories can continue and other species can be saved.
So come to the Forum parking lot at 4:25 p.m. on Wed the 18th, and come support the Endangered Species Act in Des Moines. The rally itself will only be about 40 minutes, so we should be back in Grinnell by about 7 p.m. Please e-mail [ftplanet] with any questions.
