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.
David Anderson, Portland, and
John Eads, Medford, won first
with a 5-1 record in the open
division of debating, in which
Gary Roberts. Portland, and
Joseph Dean, Astoria, had a 4-1
record.
Virginia Bailey, Portland, and
Roxanne Merrell, Eugene, plac
ed third in women’s debate after
winning four debates and losing
one.
Stephen Holland and Robert
Auch, both of Portland, had a
record of three wins and two
losses in the junior division of
debate.
In Lincoln-Douglas debate,
which has only one person, in
stead of two on each side, Rob
erts and Dean won firsts in se
nior and junior divisions, re
spectively. both with 5-0 rec
ords. Auch had a record of 2-2

with a musical mind of huge and
powerful inventiveness, and the
tone he produces ricochets off
the wall like so many shot pel
lets."
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.
When it's time to tell the worid,

sitarist and brother in law to Mr.
Kahn.
"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.”
