NEWS BRIEF
Senate approves $2,000
for business symposium
The ASUO Student Senate ap
proved a request for more than
$2,000 from the Sustainable Busi
ness Symposium, and ASUO Vice
President Eddy Morales broke an
unusual tie during a two-hour meet
ing on Wednesday.
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.

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.
