Hindu dance to conclude series about metaphysics Aruni Devi will perform traditional Hindu dances Sunday at 7:30 p.m. in P-33. Her performance will conclude Palomar's "Explorations into Metaphysics" series coordinated by instructor Elaine Peick. Trained in classical Hindu dance, Devi has appeared in concert, television, films and on lecture platforms throughout the United States, Canada and India. Her- -program will include a traditional Hindu dance, "Radha, Krishna Govinda" and movements and mudras to the poem "Who," by Sri Aurobindo. Devi will also per-

form improvisations on Bach's "Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor," one on "Amarna, High Priestess of Atlantis," and a surprise improvisational number. Aruni will give a short introductory talk on the dances of India preceding her dance presentation. The ancient treatises on classical Hindu dance state that a dancer should make herself a perfect instrument for the Divine. So when she then dances, it is the Divine who is dancing. De vi is currently on staff with the Los Angeles Valley College as a Hatha Yoga instructor. Admission to Devi's Hindu dance presentation is $1.

What really happens during an earthquake and how safe are we in North County? These and other questions will be answered during a "Fault and Earthquake" workshop tomorrow. The workshop, presented by geologist instructor Steve Spear will be held in room ES-19 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon and will be followed by an afternoon field trip to two local faults . To better understand and recognize faults, participants will see a variety of slides and a short film showing typical faults and the Southern California fault system as it relates to the nation's most famous earthquake zone, the San Andreas fault. Spear will also cover factors determining the severity of quakes and what residents can do to minimize the damage from an earthquake. In addition to outlining the faults in San Diego County, he will discuss the chances of a major earthquake in this area. Spear, a faculty member at Palomar for the past five years, is as active in the field as in the classroom. Studying a subject without first-hand participation is, to him, like "studying art history without going to an art museum." He notes that "It is one thing to talk and read about something such as what a fault is, but that's not enough. You've got to go see it." Spear will take the workshop participants on a car cara van to two different faults. The first one, a "normal" fault, is near the Carlsbad Mall. The second, a "reverse" fault, is the Christianitos fault at San Onofre Beach State Park. For more information, call Spear at 744-1150 or 727-7529.

Undiscovered masterpieces to be offered Art on the lawn! The public has the opportunity to buy beautifully made and reasonably priced art objects at the 12th annual art sale, to be held on the campus frontlawn on May 11, 12 and 13 from 9 a .m . to 9 p.m. and until 3 p.m. on Saturday. Sponsored by the college art guild, the sale.will contain a large variety offunctional and non-functional art objects including dishes, bowls, mugs, pots, planters, jewelry and candles made from ceramics, glass and other materials. The sale is timely for purchasing Mother's Day gifts or personal items and also provides the community with a chance to see the quality of art that Palomar students are creating. "The average price for the art objects is in the range of $5 and has remained at this price throughout the years," says Val Sanders, advisor to the sale and art instructor. He adds that "20 percent of the proceeds goes to the college art guild and the rest to the artist." The college art guild funds are used to defray costs of student art supplies. Any student may contribute to the sale as long as the art is not sold through a business. The successful art sale idea originated with college students who felt they had worthwhile art pieces to sell to the public.

Dancer Pico wi II perform Wilson Pico, internationally known Ecuadorian dancer, will present a recital , "The Danced Chronicles," at 8 p.m. tonight as part of the Chicano Studies observance of the Mexican holiday, Cinco de Mayo. Through contemporary dance, Pico brings to life the people of Ecuador. However, as a critic in the Mexican publication El Dia wrote, "He is Ecuadorian, but in his gestures we read all of Latin America." The dances, linked by brief introductions to add to the understanding of the characterizations, include such portraits as "The Blessed Hypocrite," "Woman," "The Bootlicker," "The Man of the Medals," and " May God Repay You." They show a cruel, tender and contradictory world where oppression has come to be natural due to centuries of colonization. Richard Ames of the Santa Barbara News Press, writing in 1977, said "In these dances Wilson Pico stands comparison to Limon at his best, and to Graham at her most intense, but with a touch of humanity which has considerably more empathy." Pico is also a leading choreographer and professor of dance body expression techniques. His Palomar dance presentation is open to the public at no charge, under the sponsorship ofthe college continuing education and community services program.
