MOVIES "Salt of the Earth" (1959) Will be showing in the Iowa Memorial Union at the Bijou on... Wednesday, Feb. 20 at 7:00 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21 at 9:00 p.m. This film is the most important and successful feature produced by American leftists in the 1950's. Herbert Biberman, a producer and screenwriter who was named as one of the Hollywood Unfriendly Ten during the witch-hunt of the '50's, directed this film on location in New Mexico. Unable to work in Hollywood, Biberman and his blacklisted colleagues independently produced this semi-documentary re-creation of an actual year-long strike of Mexican-American zinc miners. "Salt of the Earth" is the only American film with the magnificent Mexican actress Rosaura Revueltas and co-stars Juan Cacon and Will Geer. (94 min.) B&W * * * * * * * * "Blood of the Condor" Will be showing in 301 Lindquist Center for Measurement, sponsored by the Society for International Development... Tuesday, Feb. 19 at 7:30 p.m. This Bolivian film by Jorge Sanjines was named the best 1970 San Francisco International film at the Festival and won the 1969 George Sadoul prize as the "Best Foreign Film" of the year. Mr. Sanjines was named "Best Director" at the 1969 Venice Film Festival. One of the most controversial and highly acclaimed films ever produced in Latin America, Blood of the Condor is a dramatized account - based on actual events which occurred in Bolivia in 1968 - of a U.S. imposed population control program administered by the 'Progress Corps' (read Peace Corps) which sterilizes Quechua Indian women without their knowledge or consent. Most important, however, the film's portrayal of the events - and the violence which ensues - provides accurate reflection of the predominant attitudes of Latin American's towards U.S. "aid" programs. CONFERENCES Northern Illinois University will hold its Second Annual Conference, February 22-23, 1980. This year's theme will be "Politics and Latino Higher Education." Contact Vernon E.

On the local scene... Rusty Barcelo, Program Associate in Academic Affairs, and Linda McGuire, Coordinator of the Women's Resource Action Center, submitted a proposal in January for a possible workshop titled, "Feminist Support Coalitions: A Strategy for Chicana Political Action?"
