The request, a $2,230 transfer from the senate's surplus funds, will go to pay for advertising and speaker fees connected with the symposium. Rep resentatives from the symposium asked for financial help from the sen ate because of reduced donations from EWEB and other groups. "It's a lot of secondary effect that we're feeling from Oregon's econo my," said Patrick Carr, a second-year graduate student involved with the symposium. The senate expressed dismay that the group failed to distribute some necessary paperwork, but senators ap proved the request anyway. "It's a down economy, they need help from us, and I feel this is one of those groups we should really sup port," Sen. Colin Andries said. Morales broke a tie regarding nom inations for student representatives to the senate by casting a vote for Sen. Jesse Harding. "It's important that we have peo ple who are going to stand up to speak about things,” Harding said. Harding said students need to be more involved in decisions regarding the student conduct code, adding that students also need to be better in formed about how they can initiate complaints against faculty. The senate also approved a request by Conflict Resolution Services to fund three student positions. The positions are restorative justice program coordi nator, publications and Web site coor dinator and program assistant. "It's already in my budget," Con flict Resolution Services Director An nie Bentz said. The senate had to rectify a mistake made at its Oct. 8 meeting when it approved the job description for the Ecological Design Center's curricu lum director but didn't properly fund the position. The money sat in an account for a position that no longer existed. The Women's Law Forum made a successful request to transfer $325 of the group's funds to pay for food at a group event. The senate approved a similar motion by the Muslim Stu dent Association for $ 154. The senate decided to postpone working on mission and goals statements. — Chuck Slothower PROFESSOR continued from page 1 of choice." "By using new technology, I try to jump-start the students' perception of what's around them, of what's right in front of their eyes," he said. Bargsten said he began writing mu sic in 1978 and has been creating hy brid forms of music, media arts and theatre ever since. One of Bargsten's current sources of pride is his Web site, an interactive and digital experi ence known as BadMindTime.com. "In my work, you not only have face-to-face contact while performing, but a vast audience on the Internet as well," he said. "I'm just trying to give my Internet audience a chance to ex plore digital music and art in a do-it yourself way," he said. One interactive feature of the Web site displays three virtual keyboards that play beats, background and fore ground rifts to create unique musical pieces at the browser's command. Es sentially, it allows users to create their own digital and multimedia master pieces. Another feature called Bad Po etry allows the user to create online poetry. "Generally, his Web site is out of the ordinary," graduate student Robert Rolfe-Redding said. "Even some artists on the staff don't under stand it and think it's difficult to navi gate. What Joey is trying to do is sub vert the mundane way of working with Web sites." Bargsten said bewilderment is an intended reaction. "If what I put on there eludes expla nation for me, then I'm on the right track," he said. Bargsten is currently working on an operatic spectacle called "Anatomy of Melancholy," which combines cine ma, video and interactive music. He is also exploring the possibilities of videoconferencing as a forum for per formance, collaborations and musical jamming. The professor's concert music has been played by the Indianapolis Sym phony and the St. Paul Chamber Or chestra, and has been featured on Na tional Public Radio International Concert Hall. Bargsten said he has cre ated more than 60 compositions for large and small ensembles and solo works, as well as music for theatre, video, film and dance. Rolfe-Redding said one of Barg sten's biggest contributions to the University campus is the combination of his Ph.D. in music and his determi nation to converge different media. "He's always fiddling about, trying to subvert what technologies are de signed to do normally," Rolfe-Red ding said. "Joey's biggest contribution to this campus is showing students how to experiment with media and push it as far as they can." Assistant Professor Justin Novak met Bargsten when they both began working in the art department in fall 2000. "He and I haven't collaborated as educators as much as artists," he said. Novak said one of the most mem orable projects he did with Bargsten was a one-night benefit performance for which he created the backdrop and Bargsten composed the sound track. "Joey's music is always a fascinating landscape of sound," Novak said. "It consistently sets up a mystery, laying clues instead of guiding you." Novak said he is always impressed with his comrade's versatility while working with technology such as Walkmans and portable speakers. "1 think it's beautiful how he inte grates consumer products into his es oteric understanding of what's out there," he said. "He's very attuned to pop culture and always has his finger on the pulse of art and technology." Looking back on his last three years at the University, Bargsten said the ex perience has been a valuable one. "It's given me an opportunity to see my students mix music, art and visual design," he said with a smile. Contact the business/science/ technology reporter at caronalarab@dailyemerald.com.
