"This was a piece using time and sound.

anything to do with music."
Professor Charles Gaines, who offers
the lecture scries as a class for art students,
said conceptual art may be hard for peo¬
ple to understand because it's such a
"broad category."
"The best thing 1 can say is conceptual
art is a kind of art that had broken away
from the conventional ways of making
"In some cases it includes processes
people wouldn't associate with art like
performance, drama, text and music."
Gaines said the best way to approach
conceptual art is to not ask what the piece
is, but what is the artist doing.
"Two artists can have the same idea but
will be doing entirely different things."
Gaines said conceptual art can be inter¬
preted in "any way that's help'ful to you.
Often it's so specific it's not open to other
interpretation."
Carole James-Wenzel, publicity coor¬
dinator for the lecture series, was excited
about Marioni's lecture and the whole
program.
"He really is a pioneer in conceptual art
on the West Coast." she said.
The series offers an opportunity for
CS U F students with artists who are invited
to come and share their ideas about art.

Feminist
men speak
on views
In celebration of Women's History
Week, scheduled to run through Friday, a
panel discussion was held in the Old
Cafeteria, room 200 yesterday at noon on
the issue of "Feminist Men."
Two CSUF professors. Dr. David
Natharius, speech communication, and
Dr. Jim Smith, philosophy, joined CSUF
Health Center counselor Ron Perry to
form the panel. Perry said they addressed
the subject because "we are all committed
to the issue of equality and equal op¬
portunity."
Perry, who spoke mainly about equal¬
ity in child rearing, said,"Children receive
double messages due to how we raise our
He said parents should try to make their
children more assertive, but also "make
sure to weigh how much a child asserts
themselves to the tolerance level of another
Perry said women are trained to be con¬
siderate, whereas "men leam to be more
assertive to do well in society."
Natharius, who used personal examples
he termed "personal bumps," spoke about
One of Natharius' biggest questions he
asks himself is if he had been raised with a
father, would he be different.
While growing up as a child, Natharius
said, "people communicated to me differ¬
ently. Maybe a father would have clarified
the superior role model and I would have-,
learned that women were perceived in-   \
Smith said he "perceived a connection
between the principles being talked about
during the '50s and '60s." He said this
helped him realize that what was being
applied to blacks could be applied to
Natharius said from an "intellectual
standpoint" there are two separate reali¬
ties, masculine and feminine. He added,
"Men and women perceive the world dif¬
ferently; both groups use different lan¬
guages."
In order for these groups to be success¬
ful, said Smith, "both need to engage in
dialogue with other feminists." He said it
should not be arguing or using patroniz¬
ing dialogue, but "serious dialogue."
I n the end, said Perry, it is going to have
to be the men alone who "have to accept
that a women's reality is different and not
