Pre-Doctoral Applications Available
Applications are available for the 2008/2009 California Pre-Doctoral Program on the web site. The Pre-Doctoral Program is designed to increase the pool of potential faculty by supporting the doctoral aspirations of California State University students who have experienced economic and educational disadvantages.
Applicants to the Program must be upper-division or master’s degree students who are enrolled at a CSU institution as of spring 2008 and who will also be enrolled at a CSU campus for at least one semester of the academic year 2008-2009. Applicants will be selected on the basis of three criteria: potential for success in completing a doctoral program, probable effectiveness of the student/faculty plan, and level of economic and educational advantage. All applicants must be either U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Each applicant must have a faculty sponsor who will be available for the duration of the plan specified in the application.
The $3,000 award is disbursed during the 2008 fall semester and 2009 spring semester. The award can be used towards travel reimbursement for the student and faculty sponsor to visit doctoral granting institutions, acquisition of materials such as reference books, software, journal subscriptions and payment of doctoral program application and entrance examination fees.
Additional information and an electronic application are available online. Hard-copy applications and brochures are available at Tehama 209. The CSU, Chico local deadline for submission of applications is Monday, March 17, 2008 at 4pm. Please submit original application plus 3 copies to the School of Graduate, International & Interdisciplinary Studies in Tehama 209 on or before the deadline date.

University Film Series: MY BROTHER'S WEDDING for Black History Month, Feb. 19
UNIVERSITY FILM SERIES
Tuesdays at 7:30pm in the Little Theatre (Ayres 106)
$3 donation appreciated
898-4642
Feb. 19
My Brother’s Wedding (1983 originally, 2007 director’s cut, U.S.A.) 118min. In honor of Black History Month. Directed by Charles Burnett. Hosted by Sarah Pike, Department of Religious Studies and Humanities Center Board. Co-hosted by the Office of Diversity.
When My Brother’s Wedding was rushed to a festival screening before Charles Burnett could make his final cut, it received mixed reviews and was never released. Film critic Armond White called this “a catastrophic blow to the development of American popular culture.” Revisited decades later, following restoration by the Pacific Film Archive and a complete re-edit by Burnett, the film proves to be funny, heartbreaking, and timeless. Pierce Mundy works at his parents’ South Central dry cleaners with no prospects for the future and his childhood buddies are in prison or dead. With his best friend just getting out of jail and his brother busy planning a wedding to a snooty upper-middle-class black woman, Pierce navigates his conflicting obligations while trying to figure out what he really wants in life. Starring Everette Silas and Jessie Holmes.

University Film Series: KILLER OF SHEEP, Black History Month film, Feb. 5
UNIVERSITY FILM SERIES
Tuesdays at 7:30pm in the Little Theatre (Ayres 106)
$3 donation appreciated
898-4642
Feb. 5
Killer of Sheep (1977, U.S.A.) 81 min. In honor of Black History Month. Directed by Charles Burnett. Hosted by Peter Hogue, emeritus, Department of English. Co-sponsored by the Office of Diversity.
A masterpiece of African American filmmaking and one of the finest in cinema history, Killer of Sheep was chosen for the national Film Regsitry of the Library of Congress and named one of the 100 Essential Films by the National Society of Film Critics. In the Los Angeles community of Watts, Stan, a sensitive dreamer, is growing detached and numb from the toll of working at a slaughterhouse. Frustrated by money problems, he finds solace in moments of simple beauty: the warmth of a teacup against his cheek, slow dancing with his wife, holding his daughter. Combining lyrical moments with neorealist style, Burnett unfolds his story with some passion and humor. The film’s luminous images and extraordinary soundtrack are a revelation in this new high-definition transfer from the UCLA Film and Television Archive’s brilliant 35mm restoration. Starring Henry Gayle Sanders and Kaycee Moore.
