Ordinances, or established
laws, are made by officials who
have grown to understand so
ciety. These statues have
changed through time in rela
tion to people’s needs, and tra
dition. Texas A^M University,
for example, has rules and reg
ulations which all students
must follow. Within the Univer-
sitv, a group of students, the
Corps of Cadets, have additio
nal rules to prevent the loss of
traditional values.
In China, ordinances work
much the same the same way.
Chinese villages uphold na
tional laws, but villages have lo
cal laws which mandate day-
to-dav behavior. On Tuesday
and Wednesday of next week, a
series of films sponsored bv sev
eral Texas A&M groups, will
explore life and laws in China.
The movies U A11 Under
Heaven: Life in a Chinese Villa
ge," and “A Small Happiness:
Women of a Chinese Village"
show how cultural dogmas af
fect women’s lifestyles. “All Un
der Heaven" gives an overview
of village life. “A Small Happi
ness" gives an understanding of
the responsibilities in a Chinese
woman's life.
Carma Hinton and Richard
Gordon directed the film series
which the Chinese Government
allowed to be filmed and pro
duced uncensorsed. Both Hin
ton and Gordon have spent ex
tensive periods of time in
China.
The film series wall be pre
sented Tuesday, April 22 and
Wednesday, April 23. “All Un
der Heaven" and “Stilt Dancers
of Long Bow Village” will be
shown April 22 at 7 p.m. in 701
Rudder. “A Small Happiness
and “Yellow” will be shown at 1
p.m. and 3 p.m., respectfully,
in the library 204C.
The film series will be ac
companied by commentaries
bv co-director Carma Hinton.
The films are being sponsored
bv the College of Liberal Arts,
the History department, MSC
Visual Arts and MSC Aggie Cin
ema. Admission is free.
The Biyan Police Officers As
sociation will sponsor a concert
by countiy and western singer
Jeannie C. Riley and The Red
River Band May 23, at the Brvan
Chic Auditorium.
The concert, which will be
gin at 8 p.m., will be held for
the benefit of the association.
Riley, whose single “Harper
Valley P.T.A." has sold over 8
million copies so far, will per
form songs from her newest al
bum, entitled simply “Jeannie
C. Riley.”
The concert marks Riley’s re
turn to Texas after many years
in Nashville.
“I can think of at least a hun
dred and fifty good reasons to
head the tour bus. toward Tex
as," she says. “One for every
birthday year we're cele
brating.”
Riley, whose television credits
include guest appearances on
“The Tonight Show,” “Hee
Haw," and "The Mike Douglas
Show,” has also starred in her
own special and on the “Harper
Valley P.T.A." television series.
Riley’s other accomplish
ments include her recently pub
lished autobiography, “From
Harper Valley to Mountain
Top," which charts her mete
oric rise to fame and subse
quent unhappiness. The turn
ing point for Riley came in 1972
when she took a step of faith,
deciding that the priority in her
life would be Jesus and not her
career. Her latest album is
filled with gospel songs and
uplifting country songs.
Admission to the concert is
$6 pre-sale and $8 at the door.
