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.

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.

little tournament."

who has competed in the tour
nament the last few years, said,

petive juices flowing."
