L
Canadian folk artists to play
A foot stompin' good time is in store tonight when the French Canadian group La Bottine
Souriante performs in the EMU Ballroom at 8 p.m.
Calling themselves a "traditional music band," the five-member ensemble from Quebec
have assembled a repertoire of traditional folk songs and dance music from the region de
Lanaudiere (Joliette). Their music resembles Irish folk music, but features all French lyrics.
Originally a three-man group, La Bottine Souriante has been in existence since 1976, grow
ing and expanding during that time. The band has five albums to its credit, and performs
regularly throughout Europe and North America.
Admission to the cultural forum event is $3 for University students and $3.50 tor the
general public. Tickets are on sale at the EMU Main Desk, Earth River Records and Tapes, and
Everybody's Records.
University fund-raising gets lift
Education officials attribute the
increased generosity of private
and public sectors toward higher
education in 1982-83 to more
sophisticated fund-raising drives
and an improved economy.
Total gift, grant and contract in
come for the year amounted to
over $114 million, a 7 percent in
crease over 1981-82. Major in
creases were in student services,
including federal financial aid, up
66 percent; and sponsored
research, up 11 percent. In addi
tion, income from affiliated fund
raising organizations was over $25
million, a 45 percent increase over
1981-82.
"This is an indication that the
economy is recovering," says
Richard Perry, director of the state
system's management and plann
ing services. "At least it's not a
downward trend, and that's
encouraging."
Perry adds that a more favorable
public opinion has also played a
key role in the turnaround.
"I think that they've recognized
that it's money well-spent."
Russell Picton, University Foun
dation director, agrees with Perry.
"There is a general assessment
that the University is something
special and needs to be sup
ported," he says.
The foundation's total income
exceeded $7 million, the highest
level on record. A major portion of
that came from a $3 million con
tribution last year from the
William Harris estate to support
the Fund for the Study of Women.
Picton points to more
sophisticated fund-raising techri^k
ques, including last year's phon^^
a-thon, as major factors in the
increase.
“A lot of people just need to be
asked to give, and what we're try
ing to put together here is a better
asking program.”
Associate Athletic Director Bill
Byrne attributes the record $1
million in Athletic Department
donations to "a bunch of good
volunteers.”
"We live entirely from hand-to
mouth,” he says. "We receive ab
solutely no state help like other
schools in the Pac-10 do, so we
had to raise that much money just
to stay even."
Debaters place in tournamentm
The University's debate team
hasted a Northwest regional
forensics tournament this
weekend in the EMU, and 19 col
leges from California, Idaho,
Washington and Oregon
attended.
"The team did really well,
especially for being so early in the
year," said Ed Inch, University
tournament coordinator.
However, the tournament is only a
practice competition tor the
University team since they are
hosting it, Inch said.
Inch said the team's strong area
is value debate, where members
analyze the quality of higher
education.
"The policy debaters and in
dividual debaters have been con
sistently strong," he said. The

The University team's toughest
competition is Whitman College
in Washington, Inch said. "Our
target this year is to beat them in
individual debate," he said.
"It takes a lot of hard work and
time to win a competition," said
Dave Leong, a junior majoring in
economics and member of the
debate team.
He said he spends about two
hours every day preparing for
competitions.
Freshman history and English
major Mike Sistrom said his
favorite event is national debate
or topic debate. Winning an
event takes time, preparation and
"good skills," he said.
Although team members debate
the same topics all year, Long said
the issues never get boring
because "you can always find a
new argument to approach it (the
topic) with.
The next tournament is at Lewis
and Clark College, where Inch
said the team could win "with a
lot of work. This tournament
should show us where our weak
points are."
Inch said he thought the tourna
ment this weekend was very
successful.
The tournament featured six
divisions for various types of
events and experience levels as
well as 20 individual divisions.
"It's early still, and I think peo
ple here have a lot to show for
such a short time," he said.
