WOW Hall (:oniinued fr°m 1 were taken care of. “People have forgotten they need to par ticipate in maintaining the arts or else they won't have any. That's especially significant at this type of community-based organiza tion." Pincus said. The summer months are typically a slow time of year for fund raising, but they have hit especially hard because the rest of the year was so slow, Pincus said. The drive for $10 memberships has been way down. The Eugene Arts Foundation, which formerly contributed $•>.000 annually, is not funding WOW Hall or the Maude Kerns Art Center Gallery this year, he said. Also, a lot of federal grants, which us ed to be available to local arts organizations, have been cut by the Reagan administration's budget band saw. Pincus said. All of the fund-raising shortages add up to a mujor hole in the 10 percent of expenses, which CCPA uses to secure and pay the staff. Between $6,000 and $7,000 is needed each month for the basic operations of WOW Hall; the maintenance, electricity and produc tion costs are included in that figure. “But without the staff, none of the operations tan happen," Pincus said. “We do not do amateur-level work. If it can overcome the immediate need of funds for staff salaries. CCPA is hoping to raise about $25,000 by mid-November to pay for operations and a $15,000 debt due then. •‘If we can get over the November hump, we would only have about a $15,000 debt without any stringent time due. That would open up a whole new era of development for WOW Hall." Pincus said. "We could com plete restorations and improvements of the facility, and conduct more programs or more expensive performances.” TTie immediate need of $2,000 or $3,000 in the next two weeks is being approached with fingers crossed and a wait-and-see attitude. "We have people who are considering donating." Pincus said. "We ll have to see what the tally is in a couple of weeks." CCPA kicked off a major fund-raising drive called "WOW It s Ours" with a benefit concert Saturday by local bands The Soulsa tions and St. Huck About $300 was raised at the concert, and the campaign will continue through the summer gearing up for a major fund-raising push in October. Pincus said. Kn^ersld Ilk plmtn The WOW Hall. 291 W. Eighth Ave.. may have to close its doors if the communitydoes not come to Its financial aid soon.

"Our success says a lot for Oregon’s journalism school." said team leader Robin joannides. The 198ti competition marks the fifth straight year that a University team has represented the Northwest in the nationals. IjHSt year's University team placed third. "I believe this year's team did well because they defined the advertising strategy completely. e tas.' .V UL then created an outstanding campaign against that strategy.” said University jour nalism professor Jim Avery, 'he team's adviser. He is a former senior vice president of Wells. Rick. Greene/Chicago, a major advertising agency. Fifteen teams, each represen ting a region of the United States, worked with a hypothetical first-year budget of $5 million to advertise l,evi Strauss tk Go's new Blue Shadow women's jeans.

Program challenges talented’ and ‘gifted’ By Tonnie Dakin CM tto BiinH Art air of expectation sur rounded the Earl Complex Sun day as teachers, counselors and students awaited registration for this year's Summer Enrich ment Program for Talented and Gifted (TAG) students. The program offers classes to mentally gifted students in grades six through nine, says Cin Chubb, assistant director of the program. Teachers and counselors are hired to teach and supervise students throughout the two-week sessions. Students will be taking classes during the day and choosing from recreational ac tivities at night. Chubb says. "The students take classes that they may not receive in a normal academic setting,” she says. Students have a choice of about 44 classes, ranging from computers to drama. Instead of being graded, the students receive individual evaluations at the end of the course, says program instructor Ann Iaskaya. laskaya. a faculty member at the University, hopes to teach students self-discovery through writing, she says, in the forms of a short-story writing class and a journal-writing class with "basically no rules." Laskaya believes talented students are taught to be modest, but in the Summer Enrichment Program, they can be forthright about their gifts. "I think they are going to get a sense that it's OK to be talented and gifted." Laskaya says. Scenais Bock, a high school freshman from Estacada. will at tend the program this year for the second time. Bock took a variety of classes last year, and this year's pro gram will probably be a con tinuation of her studies, she says. “We had a lot of freedom to learn." she says. Jodi Amoff. a sophomore from Lake Oswego, is attending the program for the first time. She says it will be a neat ex perience to learn things that she couldn’t learn in high school. In addition to attending classes, students are offered a variety of recreational activities planned by the counselors. "When 1 was a student. I didn't have an opportunity like this, " Laskaya says. "I think it's really exciting to do something like this," she says. ‘Competitive juices’ flow at seniors-only tournament By Gary Henley Of Hm EmcraM The Oregon Tennis School, in conjunction with the Universi ty. sponsored a seniors-only tennis tournament June 27-29.
