The U.S. Congress first designated the week a several years ago to combat the nation’s “geographical ignorance," Geography Professor Alec Murphy explained, adding that compared to other nationalities, Americans are relatively uneducated in geography. In celebration of National Geography Awareness Week, Professor Emeritus Bill Loy has created a new Web site examining Eugene and its surrounding topography that can be found at http://darkwing. uoregon ,edu/~ loy/atl as/index.htm. On Thursday, geography Professor Ronald Wixman will deliver a speech entitled “The U.S. in the Middle East: A Geographic Perspective” at 7 p.m. in 150 Columbia.

PROFESSOR continued from page 4 visibility," he said. 1 lowever, Murphy is not the only suc cess story to come from the University's geography department, he explained. Jim Meacham, current director of the University InfoGraphics Laboratory is a former president of the North Ameri can Cartographic Information Society. Also, geography Professor Susan Hard wick is president of the National Coun cil for Geographic Education. Hardwick and Murphy are also on a national council for the American Ge ographical Society, which requires that they travel to New York at least three times per year, Hardwick said in a phone interview from New York City. "We're elected officers in these leading professional societies, and that ensures that our voice is heard at the highest lev els," Whitlock said. "We only have 11 fac ulty, and the fact that four of us are serv ing national offices is pretty impressive." Contact the people/ culture/faith reporter at jaredpaben@dailyemerald.com. GUSTER continued from page 4 college-age crowd exploded as Guster took the stage. The band played many songs from its latest album, "Keep It Together," but dug into its past al bums as well. The crowd was obviously delighted in many of the songs, singing along with a volume that matched and sometimes over whelmed the sound coming from the stage speakers. One of the most impressive things about Guster was its musical proficien cy. Ryan Miller and Adam Gardner — both vocalists for the band — switched instruments practically every song. The CONCERT REVIEW arsenal of instruments played induded guitars, basses, keyboards and harmon icas. Even percussionist Brian Rosen worcel played two different drum sets. Rosenworcel is an interesting drum mer, preferring a percussion setup of bongos, djembes, shakers and cymbals to the standard trap-kit that drummers typically play. He did have a trap-kit for a few of the songs, but he primarily played percussion. His abilities transcend those of most rock drummers today. A fine example of these abilities man ifested during the band's cover of the Talking Heads dassic, "(Nothing But) Flowers." His assault on the set sound ed more like a complete African drum ensemble rather than a single person. This is not to say that Miller and Gardner are slackers; they command respect as well. Their matching har monies complement each other per fectly. While their edectic guitar hooks seem subtle at first, they reveal them selves as complex and well thought out with closer listening. Guster has a way of making these dynamic song arrangements and vo cals come off simple as cereal. Be neath it all are great songs that can make people feel better about life. A relaxed attitude, easy sense of humor and appreciation of the crowd only complement the well-written songs. Watching Guster play is like swing ing on a porch swing, watching the sunrise and drinking good coffee. It's an experience that shouldn't be taken for granted. This is most certainly a band to look out for the next time it comes gusting through town. Contact the Pulse columnist at carlsundberg@dailyemerald.com. His opinions do not necessarily represent those of the Emerald. Vocalists Ryan Miller and Adam Gardner, and percussionist Brian Rosenworcel performed at the McDonald Theatre on Thursday. Guster primarily played songs from its latest album, ‘Keep It Together,' but also covered songs such as ‘(Nothing But) Flowers’ by the Talking Heads.
