BFA student and Humanities Center Gallery Assistant Rodolfo Salgado’s interest in the aesthetics of the movements of liquid has culminated in this solo exhibition featuring both glass and ceramic sculpture and prints utilizing multiple processes. Salgado creates an imaginary world of tubes, pipes, and other organic and industrial forms that shoot, leak, spray, drip, and splatter an array of fluids. The results are objects of beauty and gravity.

Salgado has an AA from Crafton Hills College and is currently a BFA candidate in printmaking. He has received numerous grants, fellowships, and scholarships including the Sarah Hamilton and Janet Turner Memorial Scholarships and the Paul Feldhaus Purchase Prize. His works are included in Koaler Art Library, Southern Graphics Archives, Amity Art Foundation, Southern Graphics Council Archives, Georgetown University Art Collection, and the Janet Turner Print Museum.

IEEE Region 6/Central Area Micromouse Competition

The CSU, Chico branch of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers give “mouse maze” a new meaning.

April 28 - the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (known as “IEEE” - pronounced “I-triple-E”) at California State University, Chico is hosting the IEEE Region 6/Central Area Micromouse Competition. The event is taking place this Saturday, April 28, 1pm at the Performing Arts Center (PAC) room 135.

The Micromouse Competition is based on the construction of miniature robots controlled by a microcontroller. The mouse has to find its way through an arbitrary maze. It competes with other mice to see which one finds the center of the maze (the cheese) within the least amount of time. The Micromouse competition is held once a year in spring around April. Students can enter the competition individually or with a group. Participants are required to be members of IEEE.

It has been several years since CSU, Chico has hosted the event. Chico will be represented by three teams this year. CSU, Chico still holds the record for the fastest time of 23 seconds in Spring 2001. The student was Dustin Hess.

More information is available online.

Grand-scale "King and I" Staged May 2-6

CSU, Chico’s School of the Arts presents the 2007 Spring Musical, a grand-scale production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic tale of love and duty — “The King and I.”

Staged May 2-5 at 7:30pm and May 6 at 2pm in Laxson Auditorium, “The King and I” features a cast of talented CSU, Chico actors and adorable local school children, a large professional orchestra, beautiful sets and costumes, lavish dance numbers, and popular hum-along-to songs, including “Hello Young Lovers”, “Getting To Know You”, “Something Wonderful,” and “Shall We Dance?”.

“The King and I” is the story of Anna, an English school teacher who tutors the children and wives of the King of Siam. Set in the mid-1800s, the King is largely considered to be a barbarian and he seeks Anna’s assistance in changing his image, if not his ways. Keeping a firm grip on their respective traditions and values, Anna and the King grow to understand and, eventually, respect one another, in a truly unique love story.

Don’t miss CSU, Chico’s “Big Show” for 2007. “The King and I” is great entertainment the whole family will enjoy.

Tickets are available at the University Box Office, 898-6333.
