blues to jazz and classical,
students can listen and dance to

A full listing of Eugene/Spr
ingfield area places that offer
live music follows below.
On campus, the EMU
Cultural Forum provides music
at its beer gardens Fridays from
4 to 7 p.m. and sponsors con
certs at the EMU during the
year.
The Cultural Forum's beer
gardens provide plenty of beer
and loud music, two key ingre
dients for every successful beer
garden. Usually held in the
EMU Fountain Court Cafe, the
beer gardens draw a boisterous
crowd and provide the perfect
warm-up for an active Friday
night.
Admittedly, people under
twenty-one have far fewer op
portunities to tap into the live
music scene. However, the
Cultural Forum provides
several concerts for all Universi
ty students during the year.
WOW Hall, a community
center for the performing arts, is
another place that offers con
certs and dancing for all age
groups. Located in the historic
Woodmen of the World

For students interested In
acoustic music and a small,
friendly atmosphere. Arnold’s
Hideaway, 1461 Vj E. 19th. is
the perfect place. Tucked away
near the southeast corner of
campus. Arnold's features solo
and duo acoustic performances
of rock, folk and reggae music
and does not require a cover
charge.
The musical performances are
not as loud as most area bars
and never include drums,
which "provides a more unique
experience than what other bars
in the area offer,” said Paul
Montague, Arnold's manager
"It's small and intimate and
you're in a more of a one-on-one
situation with the musicians
here," he added.
The music, performed
Tuesdays through Saturdays,
begins at H pm but stops at 11
p.m when the liar must close
because of its location in a
residential district This makes
the bar a "weeknight" place.
Montague said.
"We do more business on a
Tuesday than on a Saturday,”
