Kleckner continued from page 1 and really cool local zine The Unscene Magazine are hosting skatepunks extraordinaire Cigar, along with Compact 56, Ahisma and Outreach, with partial pro ceeds to benefit Unscene. Cigar rocks, and the openers are good, old-fashioned hard core and punk. Wear thick shoes. Unscene has reported on the lo cal music scene for almost two years and kicks ass, so go support them. Doors are at 8 p.m., show at 8:30 p.m., and it costs $7. If August is coming, then so is Free Shakespeare in the Park. Hurrah! Heading into its fourth season, this company, directed by Sharon Mann, puts on open air performances of the Bard for the masses. This year, the group is staging “The Tempest, ” perhaps Shake speare’s most insanely magical work (and my favorite), which is really a Victorian version of “Sur vivor, ” sort of. Head to Amazon Park (2700 Hilyard St.) 6 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday from Aug. 3 to 31. Yeah, it’s free. Comedy fans can get two doses this week: The Comedy Workout costs $7 at Actor’s Cabaret of Eu gene (996 Willamette St.) 8 p.m. Thursday, and WYMPROV! will be at Cafe Paradiso (115 W. Broadway) for $6 at 9 p.m. Saturday. Jennifer Turner co-wrote “Tigerlily” for Natalie Merchant years ago. She played on the last Periy Farrell record. She started her own indie label, Caboose Mu sic. And now she brings her band, Inner, to Sam Bond’s Garage (407 Blair Blvd.) on Sunday. I’ve been listening to Inner’s CD, “lovetheonlyway,” all day, and their languid, rhythmic jams remind me of ... actually, forget it. I don’t have a cooler-than thou reference to make here. It’s just strange, textured, cathartic, schizophrenic, moog-enhanced rock music that talks about love and life. Highly recommended. The show starts at 9 p.m. and costs $2. Merciful Maneuver opens. Fans of female singer-songwrit ers and incredible guitar picking can rejoice: Tamaras is heading back to Eugene. Think of Ani DiFranco, some more Ani, 4 Non Blondes and flamenco-style gui tar (I won’t say Charo) blended with an intense vocal style, and you’ll get the idea. Tamaras is soulful and skilled with her instruments, and she’ll be at Cozmic Pizza (1432 Willamette) at 7 p.m. Monday for only $3. This gets my highest rec ommendation.

People who are intolerant of other people’s cultures... and the Dutch. ” Knowles is also delightful as Foxy Cleopa tra, a secret agent from the ’70s who follows Austin to the present. Sadly, the film misses the opportunity to take a swing at the style of films this character comes from — those cine matic wonders like “Coffy” and ‘‘Cleopatra Jones,” which are ripe for satire. The charac ter is under-used, and Knowles seems to be doing the best with what was given to her, though it does say something for the filmmak ers — they were able to get two irritating pop singers in the same movie without either of them becoming an annoyance. All said, I did enjoy the movie, for some rea son. The whole mess gives off a sense of anar chic fun that few comedies seem to be willing to aim for. And while many of the old gags have grown tiresome, a whole group of new ones pop up to take their place. To tell you the truth, I’m looking forward to seeing these jokes get old in the next few films. Although maybe next time, Mike Myers might want to consider letting someone else be the villain.

One high point is a group performance with poet/musician Sekou Sundi ata, whom Ani cites as having a major influence on her own writing. Regarding the concert footage, "Render” is clearly the next best thing to actually being there. Because the selected songs have been culled from various shows, they provide a “best of” look at what an Ani DiFranco show has to offer. For this reason, these songs are the best testa ment to DiFranco’s musical abilities yet. These performances should, once and for all, show her on the forefront of innovation regarding the guitar. The little folk singer (as she so frequently refers to herself) finger-picks and pick-picks, and in addition to the standard “EADGBE” tun ing of the six-stringed instrument, she uses a va riety of alternate tunings, which can provide a whole range of distinctive sounds. In addition to playing numerous variations of an acoustic guitar, the concert footage also shows her playing a six-stringed dulcimer and banjo. This is not to diminish the presence of her band, which includes drummer Daren Hahn, bassist Jason Mercer and keyboardist Julie Wolf. Among the concert footage there are two songs that were previously unavailable on any of her album releases. The first is a cover of the Greg Brown song “Lord, I Have Made You a Place in My Heart,” and the second is “Slide,” an original composition. “Render” is available on both DVD and VHS formats. Unfortunately for audiophiles, the sound is mixed in 2.0 stereo for both releases, so there’s no Dolby 5.1 soundtrack available for those with nice sound systems; however, the DVD version does contain some extra features; “In The Way,” another original composition un available elsewhere (she plays an electric guitar here), the complete footage of a 16mm film called “Ani’s Garden of Simple,” and one sam ple song from each of the Righteous Babe artists. For folks wondering when another DiFranco album will be released, the date is Sept. 10. It’s going to be a live double disc (her second, after 1997’s “Living In Clip”) and it’s titled “So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter.” For keen viewers of “Render,” watch for the scene where she mixes a live version of “Pulse” in the Austin recording studio — that perform ance, you’ll notice, is from this past year’s Eu gene show at the Cuthbert Amphitheater, and it seems a likely candidate to show up on the new recording.

Printing continued from page 1 among some committee members that since printing costs are supposed to be covered by the education tech nology fee, students would balk at paying for printing at the labs. But the consensus was that the amount of pa per being used and wasted in the labs warranted a response, she said. An environmental audit conduct ed in 1999 by the University’s Envi ronmental Studies Program found Digital Video Camera Incredible Deal! Regular Price is $599.

Tel: (541)346-4331 • Mon-Fri 7:45-6:00 Sat 10:00-6:00 Sun 12:00-6:00 that since students were not directly charged for printing in the Comput ing Center, they tended not to con serve paper. The audit suggested in stituting a limit on the numbers of free printouts available to students and charging for successive printing in order to cut down on waste. Such a system is a possibility; however, Bradley said it’s more like ly that the Computing Center will institute a simple per-copy fee in or der to make printing more consis tent across campus. The library charges 10 cents per page for print ing, and Bradley said the Computing Center will charge the same amount, unless the library agrees to change its price to 5 cents per page. When Oregon State University began charging in August of 2001, printing dropped by about two thirds, according to Derek Rose, a senior consultant with OSU’s Stu dent Computing Facilities. Previ ously, printing in labs was free for students at OSU, but when the ad ministration cut the printing budg et, the facilities began charging 5 cents for black-and-white prints and 25 cents for color prints.

Kelly also said that, while he expects business and public re sponse will be varied, he doesn’t think too many business will de cry the proposal. The HRC is also proposing that Eugene adopt a domestic partner registry in which unmarried cou ples — both same and opposite sex — may obtain “recognition and val idation of their relationships. ” Cou ples will have to meet specific cri terion to be recognized, such as being in a relationship of “mutual support”; not being married or reg istered as a domestic partner in an other city; and being at least 18 years old. Aside from the workplace, the HRC wants to provide protection to transgender people when they rent, lease or buy a home. The addition to the housing practices would make it illegal for landlords to refuse hous ing to transgender people or mem New definitions The Eugene Human Rights Commission’s recommended addition to city code would use the following definitions: Domestic partnership A relationship between two persons living as a family in a relationship of mutual support, caring and commitment; intending to ren ran in such a relationship; neither married i tor the domestic cartoer of any other person; each 18 years of age or older; not related by blood kinship closer than would bar marriage in the slate of , Oregon; and meRtaiiy competent to consent to contract. Domestic partnership may also be demonstrated by having registered, certified or affirmed the relationship with any appropriate, legally established registry with substantially similar criteria within any jurisdiction in the United States.

Chicora Martin, LGBT Education al and Support Services Program Di rector, said the changes will help Eu gene represent the transgender community and curb harassment in the workplace and community. “I’ve known people who have been harassed in restrooms and told that they are not in the right place,” she said. “It’s embarrassing.” Martin added that the proposals will bring awareness to the issue of gay rights and also tell transgender people that the Eugene government supports them. After the HRC agrees on a final proposal, they will send it to City Council for evaluation in Septem ber. Councilors are expected to vote on the changes in late October.
