To this day it continues as a tra

and meaning for present-day

present in this coming together of
a community honoring its conti

Erin Rosenblatt, University

little stunned” by the news. The
only direct statement from Nike
was a one-sentence press release

In recent decades, as women

offer the next best thing for
stranded students.
“I’m really glad we’re providing

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

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. ”

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.
Registration for the weekend con
tinues through April 21 at the
ASUO Women’s Center.
