Youth Select Baseball is Topic of Spring's Final Olson Seminar
Appropriately, the spring's final Paul A. Olson Seminar in Great Plains Studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will deal with baseball.

MARY RIEPMA ROSS MEDIA ARTS CENTER
The Class and Che Play at the Ross
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center presents The Class and Che. Both films will screen through April 9.
Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, master French director Laurent Cantet's The Class is an absorbing journey into a multicultural high school in Paris over the course of a school year. Francois Begaudeau--an actual teacher and the author upon whose work the film was based--is utterly convincing as Francois, an open minded teacher in charge of a classroom of youngsters from a wide variety of backgrounds. Of course, the mere fact that he's older and in a position of authority causes his students to challenge him on many occasions.
November 26, 1956; Led by Fidel Castro (Demian Bichir), a band of 80 rebels sails to Cuba. Among these young rebels is Argentine physician, Marxist, soldier, Ernesto "Che" Guevara (Benicio Del Toro). Nation-less, strapped for resources and fueled only by determination, the group engages in swift, bloody battle to free the Cuban people from the corrupt dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Che and his soldiers wrestle the nation's resources and affection from Batista's grasp. Though considered a hero by some, Che becomes a hugely controversial figure. At the height of his fame and power, he disappears. Entering South America incognito, Che recruits another band of guerilla fighters in the harsh Bolivian jungles. They embark upon a mission to spark revolution throughout Latin America.
