Jacquelyn Lewis

The summer season is finally em

and when the bus finally arrives, a
wide array of musicians, from the
poetic Tori Amos to funky bayou
band The Neville Brothers, will
stumble onto our shores.
Fasten your seat belts, ladies and
gentlemen; it’s going to be a wild
summer of music, and fans who
want a guaranteed spot at one of
these shows should purchase tickets

what Eugene and nearby cities have
to offer this season.
Locally, a number of venues will
host a plethora of standout shows.

News brief
Holocaust talk gives
different perspectives
Professor Emeritus Orval Etter
has organized an hourlong discus
sion on non-Jewish perspectives
about the Holocaust. The event is
today at noon at the Wesley Cen
Media

“News organizations are notori
ously stingy and uncommitted to
substantive professional develop
ment and skills and training for
their staffs, for both the less expe
rienced and the veterans, whom
we know can be just as bad or
boneheaded as the rookies,” the
editorial said.
Bivins said while pressure and
competition can make editors and
reporters forget about what they
learned in ethics classes, they can
also drive reporters to make hasty
and unwise decisions. In a highly

Residents can try out
for The Real World’
Eugene residents harboring fan
tasies of escaping from the actual
“real world” into MTVs version will
have the opportunity to audition for
ter of the Pacifica Group, 1236
Kincaid St.
Etter said the discussion is the
second part of a multi-part series
called “Zionism and its links.” He
said the point of today’s event is to
explain how some extremists
brand Holocaust revisionists —
those who question specific details
about the Holocaust — as Holo
competitive field such as newspa
per journalism, where a Pulitzer
Prize may be one story away, pride
can also get in the way of reason.
“Journalists have to let egoism
stay at home,” Bivins said. “The sto
ry is the star, not the journalist.”
Wendy Barger, a University jour
nalism graduate student, ponders
whether ethics classes help guide
journalism students in the right di
rection when faced with ethical
dilemmas. In an article she co-wrote
for Quill, the magazine of the Soci
ety of Professional Journalists, Barg
er says ethics teaching had been
present in journalism schools for
many years, but learned ethical
guidelines don’t always make it to
the show on Saturday.
Casting agents from MTV’s “The
Real World” will hold an open ses
sion at Wild Duck Music Hall, locat
ed at 169 W. Sixth Ave., from 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Potential cast members
must be between the ages of 18 and
24 years old and bring valid identifi
cation and a recent photograph.
MTV has not disclosed the location
of the next “Real World” season, but
the network confirmed the series will
begin in mid-August. Call Wild Duck
Music Hall at 485-3825 for more infor
mation regarding the casting call.

“If you deny any allegations about
how bad the Holocaust was ... then
you become a Holocaust denier,”
Etter said.
The event is free and open to the
public. For more information about

the newsroom.
“Only when news managers are
comfortable with modeling and re
inforcing sophisticated ethical
analysis can we start to see the full
effects of efforts in journalism
ethics education,” Barger said in
the article.
Bivins agreed. If prospective jour
nalists learn one thing in their
ethics class, it’s to question whether
the work is bringing good.
“Everything a journalist does
should bring some good to the
world,” he said. “If it doesn’t, it
doesn’t deserve to be reported.”
