Both Walter A. Clark and Paul Laird are specialists in Hispanic music, so we began discussing how to best use their talents. We started checking around the university and discovered there was interest in spotlighting Mexican culture from a number of departments. Kicking off the KU festival is a scholarly conference on Mexican music Feb. 14 to 16 in Swarthout Recital Hall, Murphy Hall. Throughout the spring semester, an exhibition of Mexican prints and photos will be on display at the Spencer Museum of Art. The Center of Latin American Studies will present a series of Latin American and Mexican films throughout the semester.
