Phone 792.1221 jS IELUKJK(SD Art forms of the Haida, Nootka, Tlingit, Tsimshian, and Kwakiutl Indians will be studied and taught at an Indian art course being offered through the Fraser Valley College at Mission. During the eight week course, instructor Roy Hanuse will display his own carvings and paintings and show slides based on Northwest Indian art forms. "I began painting in 1966 and carving in 1968," he said. "I have a number of my carvings and paintings displayed in museums. In the past five years, I have noticed the interest in Indian art increasing.

People who used to just doodle now have become serious artists." He added that when Indian art was accepted as an art form, it became more popular. He says that the coastal Indians habit of decorating all their utensils has the same significance as the European coat-of-arms. It is a signature. Those who attend the Thursday night sessions will learn art forms which could be used in other media such as painting, plaques, silk screening and silversmithing. If students have some knowledge in the art form, N.

"I am recognized as a flat design artist but I have worked in other media as well," he said. "I have studied all coastal styles, the color balance, the design balance and all their art forms. Being offered in co-operation with the Mission-Abbotsford Indian Friendship Centre, the course will also touch on some of the cultural history of the coastal Indians.

THE GREATEST AFRICAN ADVENTURE "What is missing is our own knowledge of what the basics are and how they should be communicated to students." Two professors stressed that students should become more independent from their teachers. They should be aware of what they can already do. "We have to give more attention to teaching kids not just to copy what the teacher says or does." Prof. Sandvoss noted, during the morning session with the Chilliwack group a number of people said they were frustrated at first because "they didn't know what they were supposed to do." Its not a case of being supposed to do anything, he said. No one should be ashamed of anything they think.

It helps to avoid stereotypes. He noted young children do not have the same "hangups" as adults but their openness is soon-cultured out of them. When teaching music, students should not be encouraged just to imitate the teacher's rhythm and singing. They be able to think of rhythm and tone themselves and then proceed to use them. The idea that students should EVER FILMED' simply copy adults is perhaps one reason why after seven years of training children can do so very little.

In their session here, the professors used small rods, often utilized in primary arithmetic studies, to demonstrate different tones, and rhythms and lengths of notes. Use of these rods is a good "entry point" into the subject of music, they said. Students can often understand and relate to a subject easier when there is some tangible focal point. The professors noted in many classes the teacher's "entry point" into a subject is not at the same level as the children's, i A teacher's method of instruction should be an invitation to students to join in activities which the teacher knows from experience will probably result in greater awareness of the subject. Music is one of the great "manifestations of the mind," said Prof.

Sandvoss. That is true of anything that involves thinking connected with doing. He noted most eduation students and guests present at the seminar are not planning to specialize in music but they can enlist the same kind of thinking in teaching any subject.

One speaker illustrated his point with the preceding statement. Professors Joe Sandvoss and John Trivett of the SFU faculty of education met with Education 405 students and their guests for a music seminar at the Camp River School campus.

Prof. Sandvoss explained if music or any other subject is not important to living then it shouldn't be in school. The fact that people have always had and always will relate to music is an indication that it is important to a physical and mental well-being. "It is essential to our emotions," he stressed. He suggested most students develop musical thinking and musical tastes in spite of school, not because of it.

Music is as important as any other subject, said Prof. Trivett. There has been increased emphasis on getting back to the "basics," he said, but the basics have never been neglected. Be Part of DANCE TO DISCO The new "TOTAL DISCO" sound EVERY NIGHT From 9 p.m. to 2 a.m.

If so, or if you are interested in trying to follow programs in another language, Valley Televue is now broadcasting the French language station locally on Channel 11. The UHF (ultra-high frequency) channel 26 station is being tried here on an experimental basis, according to Valley Televue manager Bill Wolfe. Mr.Wolfe explained two new Canadian channels, 21 and 26, were introduced late last summer. As they are Canadian stations, the Canadian Radio and Television Commission and Valley Televue are anxious that they be aired.

Mr. Wolfe noted seasonal changes could have an adverse effect on the signals received in Chilliwack from these stations. That is why the French language station is being broadcast on an experimental basis, he said.

Channel 26, the new Vancouver English station, is also being tested in Chilliwack though Cablevision viewers cannot yet pick the channel up on their home television sets. Mr. Wolfe said the station is being monitored at the Valley Televue offices. If the tests prove successful Channel 26 will be offered to Chilliwack viewers on Channel 13. Valley Televue's own local programming, now broadcast on Channel 13, will then move to Channel 7, which is currently vacant Many people have questioned why Valley Televue does not provide the regular Channel 7 and 9 stations, said Mr.

Wolfe. The problem is that the signals of these channels do not fall to earth within the Chilliwack area. The signals can be received on the top of Sumas Mountain and on the north shore hills behind Harrison Hot Springs and Agassiz. Mr. Wolfe suggested it might be" possible in future years to have those stations brought to Chilliwack viewers by microwave.
