Deepak Chopra is coming to CSU, Chico, Sept. 12

In association with Enloe Medical Center’s Planetree philosophy, Deepak Chopra will also hold a meet and greet reception one hour prior to his lecture for a limited number of guests.

University Film Series: C.R.A.Z.Y., hosted by Bill Campbell, History, Sept. 1
UNIVERSITY FILM SERIES
Tuesday Nights 7:30pm
Ayres 106 (Little Theatre)
$3 donation appreciated
898-4642
Sept. 1
C.R.A.Z.Y. (2005, Canada) 127 min. Directed by Jean-Marc Vallée. Introduced by Bill Campbell, History, and sponsored by the History Club (PhAThH)*
There are five boys in the Beaulieu family—Christian, Raymond, Antoine, Zachary and Yvan. But Zac (played by Emile Vallee and Marc-Andre Grondin) is the only one who’s gay. That’s why growing up in Montreal alongside his heterosexual brothers and his strict, emotionally distant father (Michel Cote ) proves especially challenging for the blossoming outsider, who finds solace in the music of Pink Floyd, the Rolling Stones,and David Bowie.
*Part of the Humanities Center’s year-long theme, “Memory, Nostalgia, Ruins.”
