Eugene cozy;
cold hits East
While this man fished in the Willamette River near
Eugene Tuesday, the East and Midwest were over- 1
whelmed by snow and record cold.
Frost reached as far south as Florida, and cities \
from Boston to St. Louis to Richmond reported record
low temperatures and icy roads.
At least 13 deaths, not counting traffic fatalities,
have been blamed on the cold spell that moved in last
weekend and made the first week in January one of the <
coldest on record in the Northeast.
Apartment dwellers in New York, Philadelphia and \
Chicago continued Tuesday to complain by the thou
sands that they had no heat.
In Eugene, however, skies were clear with temper
atures ranging from a high of 48 to a moderate low of 37.
Unlike the snow plagued East, Eugeneans exper
ienced no precipitation and are unlikely to see any
before the weekend.
Highs in the mid 40s and lows in the high 30s are
expected today and Thursday with some fog and low
clouds.

Sufis schedule musician
for Gerlinger Lounge
Allaudin William Mathieu will
perform a solo piano concert on
Friday at 8 p.m. in the Gerlinger
Lounge on campus. Mathieu al
so will give workshops in the
Gerlinger Lounge on Saturday
and Sunday, both from 10 a m.
to 5 p.m.
Price of admission for the
concert is $4 for adults and $2
for children. Workshops cost
$20 per day or $35 for both
days. Further information is
available at 485-0979.
Mathieu plans a different
workshop program each day.
Saturday’s program is entitled
“Music as Devotion” and will
explore introducing and includ
ing music in daily life, including
how to make your own life more
musical, how to use music for
"your own becoming,” how to
practice, how to become your
own music teacher and how to
find your own music.
No musical background is
necessary for this workshop,
which emphasizes participation
rather than concepts.
Sunday’s program, entitled
"Theory and Practice of Mu
sic," is concerned with how
music works and the work of
music.
Topics include harmonic
theory, daily practice, trans
cending "plain, old scales and
chords,” and "sound as the
teacher." Some musical back
ground is helpful but not
required.
The 43-year-old Cincinnati
born Mathieu spent his teens
learning jazz from inner-city
blacks who taught him to listen
to "the soul of the melody — not
the notes.”
Graduating from the Univer
sity of Chicago in 1958, he spent
several years writing and ar
ranging for Stan Kenton, Duke
Ellington and Maynard Fergu
son before entering a decade of
intense study of classical music.
During this time he was the mu
sical director of the Second City
Theatre in Chicago, a company
of improvisors that Mathieu
helped organize.
The weekend events are
sponsored by the Sufi Circle, a
University student group.
