<p>The Sarofim School of Fine Arts, Music Department, presents
Latif Bolat, Wednesday, Oct. 18, at 7 p.m. in the McCombs Center
Ballroom. </p>
<p>The concert will feature Turkish mystic music. Bolat sings and
plays the traditional Turkish stringed instrument baglama. As an
important part of the presentation, Turkish devotional poetry from the
13th-century mystics Rumi and Yunus Emre, as well as later Turkish
mystic poets, will be sprinkled throughout the program. In addition to
spoken elaboration, slides will be used to create a complete experience
by providing scenes of the Turkish countryside, cities, artwork,
architecture and people. This will provide a deeper understanding of
the culture by combining the musical presentation with images of its
origin. </p>
<p>The performance is free and open to the public. For more
information, call Lacy Vain at 512-863-1379.</p>

<p>The Sarofim School of Fine Arts, Theatre Department, presents
“The House of Bernarda Alba” by Federico Garcia Lorca, directed by
Lucien Douglas, Oct. 20-29. </p>
<p>“The House of Bernarda Alba” centers on the emotional struggle
among the women of a Spanish family as they mourn the death of their
husband/father. Considered one of the theatre’s great classics, the
play chronicles the passions unleashed among the women trapped in a
life that suddenly has few chances for happiness. Political yet
private, “The House of Bernarda Alba” tests the constraints of social
customs, the family and love. The play is a passionate struggle of
emotions between the oppressed and the oppressor. <br>
<br>
Tickets are available at the Jones Theater Box Office; hours are
Monday-Friday, 1-5 p.m. and one hour prior to curtain. For more
information, call 512-863-1378.<br>

sociology and University Scholar, is presenting a paper at the annual
meeting of the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion in
Portland, Ore., Oct. 18-22. The paper is titled “The Interconnections
Between Measures of Religiosity and Attitudes About Homosexuality.” The
research examines 30 years of change in national survey data on
attitudes about the morality of homosexuality as well as support for
basic civil liberties of homosexuals. It also explores how these
attitudes vary by religious affiliation and religiosity. </p>

<p align="left"><strong>Ron Swain</strong>, senior advisor to the
president for strategic planning and assessment, delivered the platform
address for the Ethical Society of Austin. His topic was “Reflections
on Martin Luther King Jr.’s Concept of the World House.” In 1967,
Martin Luther King Jr. authored Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or
Community. In the midst of the civil rights movement of the 1960s, Dr.
King described the conditions of American society in terms of economic,
educational, housing and psycho-social differences. He concluded that
the peoples of the American society and beyond are in a “world house”
in which they will either live together in community or perish in
chaos. The address was a reflection of contemporary American society in
the context of the “world house.”<br>
