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

Geography Professor Alec Murphy has taught geography at the University for 16 years, and he recently became the president of the
Association of American Geographers. “I was able to develop a body of scholarship that was somewhat recognized," he said.

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."

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.
