Ernest J. "Chico" Wilson '70

Perry,

Ernest J. "Chico" Wilson from DC (Harvard Class of 1970) was recently
appointed Dean of the University of Southern California Annenberg
School for Communication. He attended the Capitol Page School in
Washington. At Harvard he lived in Wigglesworth Hall as a
freshman. Interestingly, he is somehow related to June Cross '75 and
Chico's maternal grandfather, Thomas Montgomery Gregory, was in the
Class of 1910 and his maternal uncle, Thomas Montgomery Gregory, Jr.,
was in the Class of 1944. In the Class of 1944 was also Alexander
Louis Jackson III, son of Alexander Louis Jackson II (Class of 1914)
and father of Alexander Louis Jackson IV, Chico's classmate in the
Class of 1970. Who would have thunk (smile) that we had
third-generation black folk back then.

Let's all congratulate Chico and his wife Fran Rusan Wilson
(Wellesley '69), a professor of African American Studies at the
University of Maryland, College Park.

Best regards,

David

Deadline: When we sell-out!

 

Usual story – this event will sell-out (just like all the others).  The gallery has four security guards, so if you’re not on the list and you try to crash ze party, you’ll have to contend with more than just our lean & mean interns!  No tickets will be sold at the door.  Once the event sells-out, please don’t email us unless you have a magic potion to make fire marshals disappear.  There is NO wait list. 

 

When you purchase your ticket, Pay Pal will send you a confirmation e-mail for your records.  This means you are all set & will be on the list.  You will not receive any physical ticket.

 

The Fine Print

* You must be 21 to attend & plan to drink responsibly.  The art in the gallery is expensive; you therefore must be able to stand-up and control your appendages and bodily fluids at all times.  Designate a driver to ensure you make it home with the same number of body parts with which you left the house.

* No refunds or cancellations permitted.

Harvard Independent Film Group

Harvard Independent Film Group
sponsored by Crimson Screen Partners

On THURSDAY, June 28th, join us when we present some new Harvard filmmakers
and their friends and see Traci Lords as you have never seen her.

Our 7:00PM SHORT FILMS Program includes Thouly Dosios' HOUSE OF THE OLIVE
TREE about Anna, who has constructed a world for herself where her feelings
lay suppressed; A. J. Shepard's CHASING THE DREAM about what takes to make
it in the Entertainment Business; Mikael Soderstein & Cornelia Ravenal's
THE OTHER WOMAN about a young woman who thinks she know what she wants and
Simon Tarr's FUD 3D (Berserk-O-Matic Trance Spectacles Provided).

Then our 8:30PM FEATURE FILM is Emily Skopov's NOVEL ROMANCE. A powerful
editor (Traci Lords) yearns to be a mother, and decides to "skip the husband
and go straight to the baby". She chooses a talented but destitute novelist
(Paul Johansson) and offers to publish his work in exchange for 10cc's of
his sperm and a guarantee that he will stay out of her life. As his career
flourishes, she descends into the chaos of single mom.

The Harvard Film Group regularly invites leading Writers, Directors,
Actors, and Industry Leaders to discuss their personal experience with us.
We have monthly live readings and screenings of new work. We also have
Harvard Film OnLine where members can post information about upcoming events
and shares their views.

"Party school, Harvard organize joint forum"

BEIJING, June 22 (Xinhua) -- China's top college for senior Party
officials and Harvard University jointly kicked off a forum here Friday
to scrutinize social development problems China is experiencing.

The two-day event was the first ever collaboration between the
Central Party School (CPS) of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and
Harvard.

The China Social Development Forum, attended by more than 50
scholars, will focus on social development problems such as health,
education and housing, which the CPC views as the core content of
building a harmonious socialist society.

"Through the forum, we can further mutual understanding, evolve
better solutions and lay the foundations of future collaboration," said
CPS vice president Wang Weiguang in his opening remarks.

"I hope the forum will achieve positive results which contribute to
the building of China's harmonious society," he added.

Professor Barry Bloom, head of the Harvard School of Public Health,
hoped the forum would mark the successful beginning of an informative
and provocative dialogue "between scholars and policy makers of our two
universities and countries."

"Social sector development is more than a means to an end," he said.
"It is an end in itself."

He warned that there were concerns about the sustainability of
China's rapid economic growth and its ability to cope with "a very
complex set of challenges in social sector development".

"In an increasingly globalized world, China's development affects
not only the 1.3 billion Chinese people, but also many more people the
world over," he said.

To date, the CPS has established academic relations with more than
30 countries and regions across the world and hosted more than 30
bilateral and multilateral seminars on fields including politics,
economy, law, history and culture.
