McDonald said reporters from Passover continued from page 1A resentative foods on the plate, is comprised of either five or six items that connote the trials of en slavement in Egypt. To this day it continues as a tra dition wrought with symbolism and meaning for present-day Jews. And with the recent addi tion of an orange to the Seder plate in recognition of women rabbis, the past is melded with the present in this coming together of a community honoring its conti nuity. Erin Rosenblatt, University Eugene television stations visited him Wednesday , and he was “a little stunned” by the news. The only direct statement from Nike was a one-sentence press release stating, “Phil Knight’s philan thropic activities have traditional ly been a private, discretionary matter and don’t always necessari ly reflect company business arrangements or college partner ships of Nike, Incorporated.” McDonald called the release graduate and office manager at Hillel, said the feminist modern ization comes from a famous male rabbi who chided that “we’ll have a woman on the bimah [altar] when we put an orange on the Seder plate.” In recent decades, as women For those on campus who couldn’t make it home to be with family during the holiday, Hillel sponsored Wednesday’s Seder to offer the next best thing for stranded students. “I’m really glad we’re providing a home away from home for stu dents,” Rosenblatt said. “When I was in school, I know I felt at home being able to come here and “cryptic at best.” Nike officials could not be reached for com ment. Nike ended a three-year con tract with Brown University in early April, saying it had cut ties because Brown signed on with the WRC. McDonald said administration officials would meet this morning to discuss the Nike issue. “We are going to try to get to the bottom of this,” McDonald said. have this experience. And it’s plu ralistic; it’s for everyone to con nect from the different sects of Ju daism.” Boris Dolin, a senior linguistics major, helped lead the shabbat service that accompanied Wednesday’s feast and said he be lieves Passover is the one holiday that holds particular significance for people, especially those away from home. “The incredible thing about this is that if we don’t do it, many of those attending wouldn’t have Seder,” he said. “We try to make it participatory as well, so everyone feels at home.” Ensembles continued from page 1A “cross-campus ensemble” be cause it is made up primarily of students who are not music ma jors. “Even if you’re not into per forming arts, performing is a good thing,” Dan Ellsworth, sophomore computer information sciences major and member of the men’s chorus, said. “You’re going to have to give presentations at some point in life. It’s psychological condi tioning.” Ensemble opportunities at the school of music are primarily set up to assist music majors with their studies. However, just as mu sicians are able to learn more about themselves by playing mu sic with others, sociologists and biologists are able to learn about the fundamentals of music by tak ing advantage of the school’s en semble opportunities. “In men’s chorus, it may be their first choral experience,” said Genaro Mendez, director of the chorus. “In a cross-campus en semble, they really learn a lot about themselves.” In addition to giving students a place to practice with other musi cians, ensembles also please the audiences with great performanc es. “It’s a service to the communi ty to have ensembles perform for the public,” School of Music Dean Robert Hurwitz said. Last term, student ensembles made more than 20 performances in Beall Concert Hall. Some of these shows had more than one student ensemble. The music school will some times offer students who are not music majors a lesson scholarship if they continue to perform in an ensemble, Hurwitz said. A lesson scholarship pays for a student to take personal lessons with one of its many doctorate-level instruc tors. The reason for offering free les sons is that sometimes ensembles are in need of more musicians. The contribution of cross-campus students can prove invaluable. Although many ensembles re quire an audition because they only want the best performers, a few groups such as the gospel choir and the men’s chorus are , open to all University students. “The number of music majors and even minors [in the chorus] are in the minority,” Mendez said. “Some people have a good, strong music foundation. Some maybe sang in high school.” Mendez said that his goal with the chorus is mainly to provide students with “a positive choral experience” and the return of stu dents to the choir seems to prove that they are having fun. Last term, 18 of the 24 choir members had sung in it before. Mendez said he also does his best to teach those students with little musical background a few of the fundamentals. “When they leave after 10 weeks, certainly after a year, they have an idea of how musical no tation works,” Mendez said. At the end of a well-sung concert, members not experienced in per forming can appreciate the ap plause of the audience, he said. “They had never been reward ed for something they didn’t know how to do,” he said. “After wards, they’re the ones with the biggest grins on their faces. ” Ki I bourne continued from page 1A those behind the advertising of al cohol and cigarettes. She has twice won the National Associa tion for Campus Activities award for Lecturer of the Year while speaking at more than one-third of college and university campuses in the United States. “She's very accessible,” said journalism Associate Professor Debra Merskin, who teaches a course titled Women, Minorities and Media. “In the classes I’ve taught, people have related to the videos I’ve shown.” Kilbourne has even served as an adviser to Surgeon Generals C. Everett Koop and Antonia Novel lo, and she is now considered an expert on issues regarding addic tions, gender and the media. By bringing Kilboume to cam pus, the Women’s Center hopes to give girls the opportunity to look at advertisements in a different way. “I think that any time young girls are exposed to the truth in im aging or advertising, it will help those girls be more astute thinkers and will challenge their previous ly held beliefs,” said Jennie Bres low, events coordinator at the Women’s Center. Schuller said that Kilboume is an effective speaker who is able to draw the audience into participat ing with her in a way that many other keynote speakers cannot. “We wanted someone who could appeal to a really wide age range,” she said, and “someone that wouldn’t be talking at the au dience but engage them in some way.” The speech is open to the gener al public because the Women’s Center wants everyone who is in terested to hear what Kilbourne has to say. “I think we’re really fortunate that she’s going to visit us here,” Merskin said. “Eugene should be interested.” While Kilbourne’s speech will appeal to a broader audience, the rest of the “Girls on the Move to Eugene” weekend is tailored to teenage girls and their parents.
