While his father, Rosalío, served in the U.S. Navy, Muñoz and his mother lived with his grandmother in Tucson, Arizona. Upon his father's return at the end of World War II, the family moved to Flagstaff, Arizona, where his father gained employment as a social worker. In 1947 the family moved to Los Angeles, where Rosalío enrolled in the USC School of Social Work; here he earned a master's degrees in social work and education. He went on to earn a doctorate in educational psychology, reinforcing for his children the importance of education. The family moved frequently, living in Boyle Heights and then in the Maravilla Housing Project in East Los Angeles. In 1950 the family moved to the nearby neighborhood of Lincoln Heights, where Muñoz attended Avenue 21 Elementary School. In 1956 the family moved to nearby Highland Park, where Muñoz attended Nightingale Junior High School. He graduated from Benjamin Franklin High School in 1960. After traveling in Mexico after his second year in college, Muñoz returned to Los Angeles in 1963 to continue his education. Upon his return, he attended school at UCLA, earning a bachelor's degree in finance in 1966. Following his undergraduate Finding Aid for the Ricardo Muñoz 64 2 Papers 1900 - 2005 studies, Muñoz became a probation counselor with the Los Angeles County Probation Department and then a senior research assistant for the USC Public Systems Research Institute. In 1968 he entered the UCLA School of Law, and in 1971 he received his juris doctorate. Since being admitted to the California bar in 1972, he has served the public, particularly the Latino community in Southern California, as an attorney at the Lincoln Heights branch of the Legal Aid Foundation and the Los Angeles Center for Law and Justice. In 1979 he became an administrative law judge with the California Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board; he was promoted to presiding administrative law judge in 1992. He retired in 2004.

  • Aofm Dec 2013 Spanish Dance
    Artifact of the Month – January 2014 Early Spanish Dance in Canada One of the jobs of an historian is to take seemingly disparate pieces of information and assemble a story. Like other aspects of Canada’s history, our dance history is filled with international influences. Touring artists and immigration have been major factors in how dance in this country has been shaped. Our theatrical dance history in the first half of the twentieth century was deeply affected by the presence of ballet through Russian, British and European immigration, and also by tours made by Anna Pavlova, Mikhail Mordkin, the Ballets Russes, Kurt Jooss, and the Sadler’s Wells Ballet. Modern dance developed a greater presence in the 1930s with tours by Mary Wigman, a German Expressionist dancer, to cities such as Montreal, Toronto and Winnipeg. There are Canadians who studied Wigman’s technique at her schools in New York and Dresden in the 1930s and then created a lineage of her style in Canada. There are also Canadians who worked with American modern dance pioneers such as Ruth St. Denis, Ted Shawn, Doris Humphrey, Charles Weidman and Martha Graham. But there is another theatrical dance form that emerges in 1930s Canada and we are still gathering evidence to reveal the whole picture. Each year, we find new information that indicates the presence of flamenco and Spanish dance in Canada in the early twentieth century. I’m Amy Bowring, Director of Collections and Research at Dance Collection Danse. Welcome to a new edition of Artifact of the Month. Our featured artifact-of-the-month, a broadsheet from 1935, is among several artifacts that have taught us more about the earliest signs of Spanish dance in Canada.

The title is reflective of my realization that I always remained halfway involved in the flamenco world, never really jumping in with both feet. Why it has taken me so many years to finally address my flamenco passion is probably due to my own laziness, procrastination and feeling that such personal experiences are difficult to share.

  • Law and Order
    THE HAMLYN LECTURES Thirty-seventh series Law and Order Ralf Dahrendorf K.B.E., F.B.A. STEVENS Law and Order by Ralf Dahrendorf K.B.E., F.B.A. Professor of Social Science in the University of Constance; formerly Director of the London School of Economics In this book, based on his 1985 Hamlyn Lectures, Professor Ralf Dahrendorf considers the fundamental questions posed for the social order of free countries by the decline in respect for the law. Taking as his point of departure the terrors of our streets and the riots in our football grounds, Professor Dahrendorf discusses the implication for social order and liberty of such issues as unemployment, the cracks in the party system and the growing disorientation of the young. There are four major themes in the book— • The Road to Anomia—crime statistics are but the most dramatic symptoms of a loosening of social ties and norms. • Seeking Rousseau, Finding Hobbes—a widespread dream of goodness has resulted in the dismantling of some of the institutions designed to protect us from badness. • The Struggle for the Social Contract—underlying social changes have led from the class struggle to conflicts about the boundaries of society. • Society and Liberty—most reactions to the new condition involve threats to liberty—we need to reassert the links between law, order and liberty. Professor Dahrendorf has had a most distinguished career, both in his native Germany and in the United Kingdom. In Law and Order he offers a lively and stimulating analysis of a topic of vital importance in the life of every citizen.

It typically has six strings, but four, seven, eight, ten, and twelve string guitars also exist. The modern guitar is descended from the Roman cithara brought by the Romans to Hispania around 40 AD, and further adapted and developed with the arrival of the four-string oud, brought by the Moors after their invasion of the Iberian peninsula during the 8th century AD.[3] Elsewhere in Europe, the indigenous six-string Scandinavian lut (lute), had gained in popularity in areas of Viking incursions across the continent. Often depicted in carvings c.800 AD, the Norse hero Gunther (also known as Gunnar), played a lute with his toes as he lay dying in a snake-pit, in the legend of Siegfried.[4] By 1200 AD, the four string "guitar" had evolved into two types: the guitarra morisca (Moorish guitar) which had a rounded back, wide fingerboard and several soundholes, and the guitarra latina (Latin guitar) which resembled the modern guitar with one soundhole and a narrower neck. During the Middle Ages, guitars with three, four, and five strings existed. The Guitarra Latina had curved sides and is thought to have come to Spain from elsewhere in Europe.

  • AN INTERVIEW with JULIAN BREAM (Cont'd) Caught a Plane and Made It to the Concert That Same Day
    AN INTERVIEW WITH JULIAN BREAM (Cont'd) caught a plane and made it to the concert that same day. We arrived at McCormick Place at 2:00 p. m. but to our surprise the traffic was ridiculous. It was the last day of Chicago’s Annual Flower Show which was being held in the main audito- rium of McCormick Place. There were no park- ing facilities available. Mr. Bream tried to get out of the car in front of the exposition center, but despite his protests the police forced him back. And, waved us down South Shore Drive, a busy throughfare, In my panic to get off this highway, I had two near collisions with other cars. We finally found a parking spot about one mile from the Hall. The time is now 2:30-p. m. curtain time. At a fast pace we made it to McCormick Place, only to have to push our way through a crowd of at least 50,000 petunia lovers. We finally made it backstage at 2:50 p. m. Mr. Bream went on at 3:00 opening his concert with a comical remark about the inflexibility of the Chicago police force. During intermission: I went backstage to com- pliment Mr. Bream on his playing of the lute. Mr. Bream is self-taught on this instrument. During our later talks, Julian Bream, de- scribed his working schedule. He concertises 8 months of the year and the other 4 are spent teaching. He feels he is obligated to teach.

    CON SAFOS --A CHICANO'S JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE IN CALIFORNIA 247 Sports Illustrated muffs it! Joe Batiste of Sacramento Junior College 1n the early 1980's, on a weekday afternoon, a friend and I were talking sports in the cocktail lounge of the downtown Holiday Inn, San Jose, Calif. The only other customer was a very large sun-tanned fe llow in a blue suit, who was drinking whiskey and chasing it with beer like he wanted to drown himself. y friend was telling me about Bruce Jenner whom he had seen compete in M track and field some years earlier. He was very impressed with Mr. Jenner. I was championing the talents of Rafer Johnson. About a half hour into our discussion, the barkeep brought us a beer we had not ordered. Soon the sun­ tanned fellow was standing behind us, his arms resting on our shoulders, and drunkenly saying, "Neither one of those guys could carry Joe Batiste's jockstrap." "Who in the hell is Joe Batiste?" I asked, curious because I have followed track and field from the time I was in the eighth grade and Bob Mathias won the 1948 Olympic decathlon championship. "Look at these guys, Hal!" he yelled at the barkeep, obviously another native Arizonan, "They never heard of Joe Batiste, star of the Tucson High School Badgers! " Joe Batiste He began telling us about this fantastic track and Sacramento Junior College's field athlete who had come out of Arizona back in the One Man Track Team late 30's and competed for Sacramento Junior College.
