Story By
Katy Moeller
If you want to hear hard-core
heavy metal music with scream
ing electric guitar solos that hol
low out the inside of your head,
then you probably won't want
to go to a performance by the
local band Sandunga On the
other hand, if you’re interested
in hearing a variety of music
from various Latin American
countries. Sandunga will both
entertain and educate you.
Sandunga, which means
‘‘happiness” in Spanish and
some indigenous languages, was
formed in Eugene in 19R1 by
Armando Morales. Morales,
who currently teaches Spanish
at the University of Oregon, had
two main objectives when he
formed the group.
"The goals of the group were
to promote the music of Latin
America and preserve the
diverse tradition of music of
Latin America," Morales said
Morales said he believes that
the diversity of music from
Latin America has been under
mined by the generic term
"salsa” that was used to market
tropical music in the United
States in the late 1970’s.
"Salsa is not a rhythm. It is

Playwright Craig Lucas’ award-winning com ti
dy "Blue Window" will open the University
Theatre's Second Season on Oct. 28.
Craig Willis, a theater arts graduate student, is
directing the play as his qualifying project for a
Master of Fine Arts degree.
Willis said one reason he chose the play was
because he identified with the humorous inner
turmoil of the characters.
who plays the character Libby, said that the char
acters are "people looking for common human
links" and that Libby, as the hostess of the din
ner party that the play revolves around, is the
one who provides that connection and facilitates
the relationships.
Willis also chose the play for the challenge it
presenttxi with the intricate timing of the dialog,
ho said. A Los Angeles Drama Critic's Award
winner for Best Play, "Blue Window" is
acclaimed for weaving seemingly ordinary con
versation into verbal music.
"I was captured by the
humor these characters
show in an attempt to hide
their pain," he said, and
explained that their pain is
due to their feelings of
being isolated in society.

1 ‘Blue Window1 Is funny
because It's true.'
Ann Swanson
senior rhetoric and communication major
Lucas writes in a style
that is. at once, both natu
ralistic and poetic." Willis
said.
He explained that the dia
log overlapps and echoes
because several scenes are
performed simultaneously
rhetonc and communication major who plays the
character Alice, said the comedy is also about
"how little we know aland the people close to us
in our lives.” and how important it is to learn
about one another.
Her character has a lesbian relationship with
Bixi and is insensitive to her partner’s feelings
While doing her character research. Swanson
said she realized that even though Alice is not a
likable person, she is an empathetic character
because her "insensitive qualities rise out of
some low confidence in herself ”
Because this is something many people can
relate to, “the relationship itself is more impor
tant than what kind of relationship it is."
Swanson said
As with most comedy. '"Blue Window' is
funny because it's true," she added.

before, during and after the seven characters
attend the dinner party in New York City.
"It's almost mimmalistic. It leaves open the
possibility...that these people are existing in this
common environment all at the same time,"
Willis said.
Dufay described the effect as a "dialog orches
tra. "
“Bits and pieces of human experience come
together to form a coherent whole. It's a sympho
ny of human experience." she explained.
The cast of "Blue Window" also includes Greg
James, a junior theater arts major. Eric Ostlind. a
senior English major. Heather Linn, a senior
humanities major. Lori Ferraro, a senior theater
arts major, and Carlos Gomez, a senior political
science major.
