Freshman Randi Albanese attend ed the event because she is current ly involved in a geography class and wanted to take the opportunity to learn about different parts of the world. “I thought it would be interesting,” Albanese said. “It’s a part of the world I don’t know about, and there is food. ” Unardi said Saturday was the first time Indonesia Night was free of charge. “This way people want to donate more (for tsunami relief),” Unardi said. “The money will go to Interna tional Red Cross.” Everyone who donated was given a purple lei to wear for the evening. Angie Broeckel, who works in the University ticket office, staffed the donation table, making overtures that “everyone should be leid tonight. Junior Anders Hansen, a member of the International Student Association, sat at the V.I.P. table. “I enjoy the events,” Hansen said. “The University has one of the largest international student bodies.

Funds: Campaign has had at least 39 donors Continued from page 1 away to do that.” The University is exiting the “silent phase” of the fundraising campaign and will kick off the second half with a Hollywood-style gala on Saturday at the Moshofsky Sports Center. The event, called “Lights, Camera, Oregon!” will include a dinner, comedy sketches and musical performances. Bryce Zabel, former chairman and CEO of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and a 1976 Univer sity alumnus, will produce the event. Actors Fred Willard and Tim Matheson will also attend. Individual tickets for the event cost $200 each, and a table for eight begins at $5,000. Frohnmayer said he would wait for the gala to announce “our most exciting gift announcements.” He said he expects the gala to draw more than 1,000 people. Campaign Oregon — which has helped raise money for the con struction of the Lillis Business Com plex, expansion of Autzen Stadium and numerous faculty endowments and student scholarships — began in January 2001 and is expected to continue through 2008. The cam paign has had at least 39 donors since its inception. Frohnmayer said the silent phase of Campaign Oregon “established the momentum” needed to propel the University to its goal. “I wouldn’t be surprised if we make even greater progress through the course of this week in closing down and completing gifts that will make the total even, I hope, a little bit bigger than the $300 million that we reported this morning,” Frohnmayer said. “So, stayed tuned. That’s the message of the week.” jaredpaben@dailyemerald. com PFC: Some groups already cut from incidental fee list Continued from page 5 what they spend,” Henderson said.
