musical artistry
By MARK CRAEMER

Bringing musical and cultural
events to the University that
wouldn’t normally be found on
campus or in Eugene is the
major goal of the Committee for
Muscial Arts
“We re providing music that
wouldn't be here without the
CMA," director Ray Morse says
The committee sponsors
artists and performers, who
conduct lectures, workshops
and 'masterclasses'' for inter
ested and qualified University
students
The events would not be
sponsored by the music school,
the EMU Cultural Forum or
organizations outside the
University because they don’t
have a broad appeal he says
“We complement what the
Cultural Forum provides,
Morse says
The five-year-old organiza
tion began as the Music Steer
ing Committee but a name
change was required in 1978
because the committee
expanded its repertoire, he
says
Today, the committee spon
sors not only uncommon mu
sical stylists but also opera and
ballet films and educational
proiects
The committee generally
provides three or four events
each term the most recent
event was the film Boris
Godunov "
The commmittee also sub
sidizes student discount tickets
for the Chamber Music Series
which brings seven or eight of
the world's best small in
strumental ensembles to the
University each year
In addition, the committee
buys Eugene symphony tickets
in advance and then sells them
to students during the term at a
reduced rate
The "big event" planned by
the organization this year is
"The King's Singers" in Feb
ruary Morse says he's enthu
siastic about the event,
although advertising this type of
program is difficult
The Incidental Fee Committee
increased the music commit
tee's budget 13-percent this
year, but the increase is only a
third of that requested by the
committee, placing frustrating
restrictions on advertising
Morse says
"We ll do what we can to
maintain our budget " he says
The ASUO. which funds the
music committee through in
cidental fees, will not allow
advertising dollars to be spent
on publications other than
those directed only to students,
he explains
In the case of "The King s
Singers' performance, how
ever the ASUO has allowed tor
advertising in other than
student publications
Morse says non-students de
termine whether a performance
will be financially solvent,
because they pay higher ticket
prices
Morse a University graduate
student has been the organiza
tion s volunteer director since
its beginning in 1976
He and the four other com
mittee members, all music
students, share projects with
other University groups making
it a point to not duplicate exis
ting offerings They rarely will
repeat performances

Another myth surrounding
abuse is that batterers all are
lower class, uneducated
alcoholics, Frazier says
"Battered women come from
all segments of society and from
all economic levels We get calls
from students Men who abuse
their wives are often profes
sionals — educators, doctors,
lawyers — definitely not limited
to the lower classes," she says
One-third of all abusers are
violent only when drunk
Another one-third do not drink
at all and one-third do have an
alcohol problem, but batter
whether they are sober or
drunk, according to Frazier
"Both the batterer and his
wife are inclined to use alcohol
as an excuse a way to explain
away the beating," she says
"Batterers are inclined to
batter Some get drunk in order
to do it "
WomenSpace's funding
comes from several sources,
including city/county revenue
sharing, fund raising, dona
tions, membership dues, United
Way, and revenue from the
shelter house, which charges
on a sliding scale
Beginning next summer, a
portion of marriage license fees
will go to organizations like
Women Space to help victims of
domestic violence
WomenSpace also is con
cerned with what happens to
battered women once they
leave the shelter
"Women leave the communi
ty just for safety reasons We
network to shelters in other
states." Frazier says
Some women return to their
homes
"Enough women go back to
the abuser for it to be depres
sing for the workers We don't
try to persuade them not to All
we do is help people realize
their options and support them
Often it takes women several
times leaving before they decide
to stay away "
Other women stay in touch
We don t have money to do a
follow up. although that's
something that we very much
want to do
It’s a real concern They
need a lot of continuing support
for at least several months after
leaving, and they don't get it "
A support group, composed
of women who have been
through the shelter house, or
who are presently in an abusive
situation, is open to the public It
takes place from 2 to 4 p m
Wednesday afternoons at
Central Presbyterian Church at
the intersection of 15th Avenue
and Patterson Street
WomenSpace also offers an
anger management group for
men

number is 485-6513
