Cultural Forum presents films,
beer gardens, varied concerts
By Cort Ferrtald

University life is not all lectures,
studying and taking tests.
But if it seems at times to be an
endless trudge down the long
road to graduation then by all
means stop and check out the
events and activities put on by the
EMU Cultural Forum.
The Cultural Forum is responsi
ble for the "Noontime Gigs",
Undergraduate Art Show,
Willamette Valley Folk Festival (in
the spring of 1984), films, concerts
in the EMU Ballroom and Mac
Court and the weekly Beer
Gardens.
And the weekly Beer Gardens?
Sometimes those weekly respites
from pushing books into your
grey matter are the best means to
recharge your batteries. The beer
gardens are also a good oppor
tunity to socialize with friends and
dance to (gcal bands.
The beef gardens are enormous
ly popular and usually crowded.
Tickets are often on sale before
r
the garden and it's a good idea to
plan in advance.
The Cultural Forum's concerts
in the EMU Ballroom and Mac
Court have also proved popular,
presenting an amazing mixed bag
of the newest of new music to the
lonesome cowboy whine of top
country stars.
The biggest concert last year
was Willie Nelson's show at Mac
Court. The capacity crowd was
treated to a great show by the
redheaded stranger. Other suc
cessful concerts were The
(English) BEAT, David Crisman,
Bowwowwow and the Ramones. If
anything was evident it was the
eclecticism of the Cultural Forum,
bringing in TSOL, Bush Tetras and
the inimitable Iggy Pop.
The only concert so far schedul
ed for the fall will be the Shakin'
Pyramids from Glasgow, Scotland.
This rockabilly group will perform
in the EMU Ballroom on Oct. 3.
The Cultural Forum's
philosophy is to bring in a "variety
of music from reggae to classical"
to reflect the diverse interests of
the students. The Cultural Forum
has also made a dedication to
presenting the concerts at a low
cost to students.
The film schedule for this year
has an exceptional array of
mainstream and experimental
productions. They include "The
Dark Crystal/' "Raiders of the Lost
Ark," to "Diva," "Road Warrior"
and "The Marriage of Maria
Braun."
The films begin tonight with
"Strangers on a Train" and con
tinue through each night of this
week. Three films this week were
filmed in Eugene, "How to Beat
the High Cost of Living" on Tues
day, "Personal Best" on Thursday
and the perennial classic^
(especially for the University)
"Animal House" on Wednesday.
All the films will be shown in
either 150 Geology or 180 PLC.
The prices are always reasonable.
