Oregon Daily Emerald
The University I
Bookstore and Duck 4
Shops across the j~
state now offer two ||
CDs to satisfy the w
needs of Duck fans
everywhere.
The School of Music
recently released
“Mighty Oregon,” a
collection of nearly a |
dozen versions of the 4
Oregon fight song. /
The Oregon
Marching
Band also re
leased its “Fighting" Duck
Spirit CD,” a collection of different
songs the band has performed in addi
tion to the original 1915 fight song.
Music School Publicity Director
Scott Barkhurst found different ver
sions of the song in the University’s
archival recordings.
‘“Mighty Oregon’ is a great gift for
any Duck fan,” he said. “It is great to
play at tailgaters before the games.”
The CD includes a 1951 recording
of the fight song by the former Univer
sity Band and University Singers and
a “swing” version by the 1998 Green
Garter Band. It also has a new “salsa”
version recorded this spring in addi
tion to the traditional Oregon March
ing Band version.
Extensive liner notes about how
composer Albert Perfect wrote the fight
song in 1915 also come with the CD.
So far, out of the 5,000 copies in
the stores, 2,000 “Mighty Oregon”
CDs have been sold. The marching
band has also sold 60 percent of the
copies of its album.
All of the proceeds of
“Mighty Oregon” will
go to the University’s
music scholarship
funds, Barkhurst
said. He added that
because Sony Disc
Manufacturing in
Springfield un
derwrote the pro
auction costs of the CD,
almost all of the $12.95 cost will
go directly to the music school.
Associate Band Director Todd Zim
belman said proceeds from the
marching band’s CD go to the Oregon
Marching Band Travel and Equip
ment Fund. The band uses this money
to make new equipment purchases,
repair and maintain currently owned
instruments, and send members of the
band to away trips.
Melanie Quigley and Bob Morten
son. cashiers at the bookstore, said lots
of different people have been purchas
ing the popular CDs, including stu
dents, faculty and alumni.

Now that they’ve spent

himself as dedicated to her,

he’s going to have a good time

“I don’t think I’ll have any
problem staying with her,”
Frawley said. “She calls and
checks up on me daily. I like
to hear her voice.”

Teach-in
will focus
on recent
attacks
■ Concerned Faculty for Peace
and Justice will discuss alternatives
to military action this evening
By Leon Tovey
Oregon Daily Emerald
For some, the words “teach-in” might
evoke memories of the “Summer of
Love” — the sight of peace marchers,
the sound of activist chants and the
smell of incense. For others, it may only
evoke puzzlement.
Those wondering what exactly a
teach-in is should drop by the EMU
Ballroom tonight between 7 and 9:30
p.m., where Concerned Faculty for
Peace and Justice will be sponsoring a
forum entitled “After September 11: A
Teach-In” — the aim of which is to
bring members of the community to
gether to discuss possible reactions to
the terrorist attacks on the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon.
CFPJ formed during the 1990-91 Per
sian Gulf War and staged a series of teach
ins, but has since been relatively inactive.
Tonight’s teach-in will be broken into
two main parts: a panel session featur
ing five speakers and a discussion ses
sion, during which audience members
will be encouraged to talk in groups led
by various faculty members.
According to Sandra Morgen, direc
tor of the Center for the Study of
Women in Society and the CFPJ mem
ber who will be moderating the event,
the teach-in will give community
members background on the crisis
and will encourage discussion of al
ternatives to military action.
1 don t think a military war is like
ly to produce peace or justice,” Mor
gen said. ‘‘We need to be looking at
the causes of the discontent and the
attitudes toward the U.S. that are the
real roots of this problem.”
Morgen, who is also a sociology
professor, added that in order to see
the incidents in a larger context, it’s
important to look at sources of infor
mation outside the standard news me
dia. This sentiment is echoed by Bo
Adan, a project coordinator at the
Center for Electronic Studying and
co-founder of CFPJ.
“We are witnessing a particular kind
of perspective in mass-media — unifi
cation on military action,” he said. “The
teach-in will discuss alternatives.”
The opportunity to discuss alterna
tives is something that the members of
CFPJ have been waiting for. With the
recent attacks and the rise of what
CFPJ member and Women’s Studies
Program Professor Emeritus Barbara
Pope calls the “buy and fly” response
of the Bush administration, CFPJ has a
