Band outgrows ‘Kid Shoes’ ■‘Kid Shoes/a documentary about Soul Function, focuses on the benefits of music By Lisa R. Gritting Oregon Daily Emerald Sharon Sherman’s documentary “Kid Shoes,” starring the Eugene hometown band Soul Function, will broadcast today at 10:30 p.m. on Oregon Public Broadcasting. “’Kid Shoes’ is an upbeat docu mentary about the role of music in the lives of boys on their trajectory through middle school, to high school and to college,” said Sher man, the director of the University’s folklore program. The film depicts how and why being in the band af fects each of the nine members. “The video points to the healthy outlet music provides,” she said. Sherman said the media put their focus on the negative aspects of mu sic; her film will expose the pleas ant perspective. “This is really good. Their music is so positive,” she said. Throughout the years, Sherman’s vision of producing a documentary about Soul Function stemmed from her epiphany that the band has their own lore, lingo and fans. And she has always wanted to make a film revolving around music. “As I saw them develop, I put on my folklore glasses,” she said. “I asked myself, why do people do that? What is it that keeps these [bands] together?” Sherman said the film is a state ment about how band relationships function. Some of the band members hung out during middle school and evolved into Soul Function. One of the band members in the documen tary described the band as friends “from all circles of life.’’ “Music gives [Soul Function] a sense of belonging - they develop leadership and strong bonds of friendship,” Sherman said. “People find themselves in music.” Sherman said her video incorpo rates new technology and 30 years of experience. “Editing is an intense process. When I close the door, the rest of the world just falls away,” she said, adding that this film is digital, which is “incredible—the image is crisp, the colors are true and it was an easy format.” Sherman chose the title of “Kid Katie Miller Emerald Sharon Sherman, director of the University’s folklore program, reviews her documentary ‘Kid Shoes’ that will air at 10:30 p.m. on the Oregon Public Broadcasting station. Shoes” because it was the last song on the band’s second album. She said at concerts, this song creates an interaction between the audience and the band. In addition, she said the boys are growing up and becom ing men — hence the name “Kid Shoes.” LAW, Students For Choice receive budget increases ■ Land, Air, and Water got a significant boost to its budget at Thursday’s meeting By Lisa Toth Oregon Daily Emerald The members of the student group Land, Air, and Water left the Programs Finance Committee meeting Thursday night smiling. LAW treasurer Ashley Dye said she was pleased with the PFC’s de cision to increase the group’s budg et by $3,921. Dye said the signifi cant increase will help the group put on the Public Interest Environ mental Law Conference in March. “The percentage of money they receive from the ASUO is really minimal compared to the amount of money it takes to put on the con ference,” ASUO Senate President Peter Watts said. PFC member Jackie Lynn Ray said she was impressed by the group’s fundraising abilities. “They raised over $25,000, which beats any other groups we have seen,” Ray said. Students For Choice received a small budget increase of $609. PFC member Lawrence Gillespie said the group’s budget rose because of the requirements of the new stipend model. The ASUO Student Senate implemented the new mod el this year to standardize monthly stipends for all ASUO groups. Despite the ASUO Student Par ent Association’s small $300 budg et, it was the only group whose re quest was tabled. Before the PFC can hear the group’s budget propos al, the ASUO Controllers Office must make an executive recom Programs Financing The ASUO Programs Finance Committee has committed $1,893,854 so far for next year’s program budget. That represents a 6.54 percent increase over last year’s funding—slightly more than the PFC’s 3 percent benchmark.
