Harrison of the New York Post, "He (Mr. Kahn) is an incredible virtuoso Forensics Team Records Wins University debaters won three debate trophies plus a first place in impromptu speaking at the Southern Oregon College Tour nament in Ashland, Feb. 910. according to W. Scott Nobles, Oregon forensics coach. Compiling a record of 35 wins and 11 losses, the Oregon team won three-fourths of their debates at the tournament.

Stephen Holland and Robert Auch, both of Portland, had a record of three wins and two losses in the junior division of debate.

Auch had a record of 2-2 in junior division, and Eads, a record of 3-2 in the open divi sion.

His instrument, the sarod. has 25 strings which are mounted from a gourd-shaped box. Only ten of the strings are plucked with a coconut shell pick, the other 15 are for sympathetic resonance. According to Jamie Hunter, of he University Law School, some .people mistake the sarod for the sitar, but there is an important difference between the two. The tones of the sitar, says Hunter, have only a one-note range, while the sorod tones, because of the absence of strets, can move two octaves with one tinder movement. This two-octave movement in cludes the sound of all the notes between the octaves, giving the sarod a "clear sound as opposed to the twangy sound of the sitar. Hunter said. Alla Rakha, who will play the tabla. two drums hand - played, which punctuate and enhance the delicate sounds of the sarod, is the usual accompa EMU Combats Check Problem Bad checks cashed by stu dents in the EMU jeopardize the continuation of the check cashing service, according to Leone McGuire, EMU accounting clerk. There is now $750 in bad checks held by the EMU, forc ing the suspension of check cashing until the bad checks have been paid for by offend ers. The amount occasionally reaches as much as $1,500. Any bad check cashed is con sidered furnishing false infor mation with intent to deceive. The most common offense is that of non-sufficient funds (NSF). Two NSF checks will result in the loss of check cash ing privileges in the EMU for that person involved, and con tinual offenders are subject to suspension from the University. A recent case involving a student who passed $125 in forged checks led to a prison sentence for the offender.

"This will be an incredible musical event because this is the first time Mr. Kahn and Mr. Rakha have played together in this country,” stated Hunter. He said the two had played to gether 30 years ago in India. People will come from all over the Northwest to hear it,” Hun ter continued. Mr. Kahn has recently found ed the Ali Akbar College of Music in the San Francisco Bay area. Terry Peas, the student who will accompany Mr. Khan playing the tamboura, an in strument which provides the droning background essential to the continuity and harmony of the sarod, is a student at the school. Admission to the concert is SI.50 for students and $2 for the general public which is an “incredibly low admission price for such a concert," according to Hunter. McCarthy Focus On 'Awareness' By JOHN Jl'NKINK (>( the Krarrald The McCarthy campaign has forced people to look at their role in an open society and to become aware, students for Me Carthy were told in the EMU Dads' Room Monday night. "This is the time and place for those people who feel there is a place left in the society to articulate their needs and de sires and to direct their attempts to change the government," said Joseph Allman, assistant profes sor of political science and Ore gon State chairman of the Mc Carthy for President campaign. Support has come from t h c amateur consistency, resulting in the campaign being dubbed "the Children’s Crusade.” Discussing the criticism of McCarthy for his lack of "oomph.” he said this quality demonstrates his appeal. Mc Carthy doesn't excite, but he does have a strong impact and people listen to him. Allman mentioned that after McCarthy's speech at the University, he won IIh> Democratic mock elec tion. The combination of McCar thy ami Kennedy voles on the campus shows the disillusion ment with the Johnson adminis tration. said Allman. "Johnson can be beaten, and if we don't beat him with a Democrat, a Republican will." he said. He closed by emphasizing that "McCarthy can and will be President We are serious," he said "We don't like what's jjo in« on in this country.” Kirkland Flowers "Show her you care on Valentine’s Day” 4340 Franklin Blvd. 72«7<i05 NOW AVAILABLE ON ATLANTIC RECORDS!
