or centuries, renowned German
composer Johann Sebastian Bach
has been inspiring his fellow musicians, from legends like Beethoven
and Mozart, right down to Helmuth Rilling.
Rilling, a German conductor, co-founded the Oregon Bach Festival, where he
has served as artistic director since its
1970 inception.
OBF, held in Eugene every summer, is an
annual tribute to the man widely considered
the greatest composer of all time. This year,
the festival, which concludes Sunday, featured nearly three weeks of concerts and an
international army of performers.
Some of the hundreds of artists involved
are Romanian opera sensation Roxana
Constantinescu and The 5 Browns, a set of
piano-playing siblings from Utah. Others included leading violinist Midori of Japan and
Arizona organist Kimberly Marshall, among
others, including Rilling himself, as well as
some University students.
“This year for the opening and closing
concerts, they’re using a larger choir than is
the norm and we do have a number of students participating,” said Brad Foley, dean

It started out like any trivia night at any bar
— answer enough questions and win a prize.
“True or false: it is possible to get permanent ear damage from firing a gun?” OMSI Coordinator of Adult Learning Programs Amanda
Thomas asked the crowd gathered at Luna
Thursday night. The crowd was there to participate in Eugene’s second Science Pub event.
“At yourself?” asked someone from
the crowd.
Thomas looked bemused.
Dr. Billy Martin, a professor of otolaryngology at OHSU’s Oregon Hearing Research Center — better known as an ear, nose and throat
doctor — couldn’t help but comment too.
“That’s a valid question,” he said.
Martin was on hand to anchor the Science Pub’s topic of discussion: “Will the iPod
Generation Be Deaf?”
Starting with a pop culture sideshow, Martin
aimed to emphasize how pervasive the iPod
has become.
“The key to know when something has really infiltrated the culture is when you have
underwear with a pocket to hold your gadget,”
Martin said. “They are magical things, but are
they dangerous?”
Science Pub is a new lecture series that
runs every second Thursday of the month at
Luna, although Thomas blanched at the idea
of calling it a lecture. The joint partnership of
the University’s College of Arts and Sciences,
OMSI and the Science Factory is meant to bring
science and learning into the public sphere.
The two-hour events are free and open to the
general public.
Martin is a successful veteran of the event’s
Portland forerunner, which started in August
2006 and grew popular. Eugene, the state’s
who viewed the banner would interpret it as
advocating or promoting illegal drug use, in
violation of school policy.”
The decision further limits high school
students’ speech, altering the historic Tinker
v. Des Moines case. In Tinker v. Des Moines,
students protested the Vietnam War by wearing black armbands to school. In that case,
the Supreme Court said speech that does not
“materially and substantially disrupt the work
and discipline of the school” is protected under the first amendment.
“There is an unmistakable trend in the last

displayed the provocative message on a banner as the Olympic torch passed through
Juneau heading for the 2002 games in Salt
Lake City. Deborah Morse, the principal of
his high school, suspended him for promoting drug use. Frederick sued, losing in the
district court but winning the appeal, and the
case progressed to the Supreme Court where
Frederick lost on June 25.
Despite skipping class, standing on a public sidewalk, and being 18, the court ruled
that Frederick was, “at a school-sanctioned
and school-supervised event,” and that
Morse could reasonably infer “that those

Eugene plans a new City Hall in the same
old place.
City Council members voted in December to
replace the 43-year-old building at a spot near
the Hult Center for the Performing Arts.
But on Wednesday, the council voted 4-3 to
build on the current site, which would mean
razing the structure and moving city offices
during construction.
The building is considered energy inefficient
and vulnerable to earthquakes.
Members in the majority said the cost of
moving, including buying real estate, made
them change course. For example, the Lane
County government was willing to sell the city
a parking lot, but wanted replacement parking
nearby, which would cost up to $11.5 million,
city staff members said.
“That is too expensive,” said Council
member Alan Zelenka.
The council estimates that a building large
enough to consolidate offices now scattered
would cost up to $130 million. Voters may face
a bond issue measure in 2008.

Lady Bird Johnson, former
first lady , dies at home
A quiet woman who once
turned down a class valedictorian’s medal because
she feared public speaking,
Lady Bird Johnson found
herself pulled suddenly into
the public eye as first lady
when her husband Lyndon
B. Johnson became president
amid tragedy.
When she died of natural
causes at her Austin home
Wednesday, at age 94, Mrs.
Johnson was remembered as
loving and gentle, yet strong
in spirit and in her dedication
to her family and her passion
for nature.
“Mrs. Johnson was a true,
strong Texas woman,” said
family friend and spokesman Neal Spelce, comparing
her to historic Texas political
women like Ann Richards and
Barbara Jordan. “Mrs. Johnson personified that strength,
but yet she did it with a very
genteel, gracious, quiet,
soothing exterior.”
She was hospitalized with
a stroke in 2002 that made
speaking difficult. But she
continued to make public appearances and in May attended an event at the LBJ Library
and Museum.
Along with tenaciously
supporting his administration, she was a champion
for the environment and the
preservation of native plants
and wildflowers.

N. Korea promises to shut
down nuclear reactor for oil
A shipment of oil headed
Thursday to North Korea in
exchange for the expected
shutdown soon of the communist nation’s only working
nuclear reactor, which would
be the first step by Pyongyang
to stop making atomic bombs
in nearly five years.
The chief U.N. inspector,
Mohamed ElBaradei, said he
expects the agency’s monitoring of the shutdown of the
North’s Yongbyon reactor will
start “early next week” and
the initial inspection is expected to be completed “within a
maybe month or so.”
“I expect that operation
to move smoothly,” ElBaradei, head of the International
Atomic Energy Agency, said
in Seoul of the visit by inspectors to North Korea expected
to begin Saturday. “I am quite
optimistic that this is a good
step in the right direction.”
A South Korean ship — the
6,750-ton No. 9 Han Chang —
departed for North Korea from
the port of Ulsan on South Korea’s southeast coast, carrying
an initial batch of 6,200 tons
of heavy fuel oil being given
to the North for its agreement
to shut down Yongbyon.

A new threat assessment
from U.S. counterterrorism
analysts says that al-Qaida
has used its safe haven along
the Afghan-Pakistan border to
restore its operating capabilities to a level unseen since the
months before Sept. 11, 2001.
A counterterrorism official familiar with a five-page
summary of the document
— titled “Al-Qaida better positioned to strike the West”
— called it a stark appraisal.
The analysis will be part
of a broader meeting at the
White House on Thursday
about an upcoming National
Intelligence Estimate.
The official and others
spoke to The Associated Press
on condition they not be
identified because the report
remains classified.
The findings suggests that
the network that launched
the most devastating terror
attack on U.S. soil has been
able to regroup despite nearly
six years of bombings, war
and other tactics aimed at
dismantling it.
The threat assessment focuses on the terror group’s
safe haven in Pakistan and
makes a range of observations
about the threat posed to the
United States and its allies,
officials said.

U.S. troops raided a Shiite
area of Baghdad on Thursday, capturing two militants
believed linked to Iran and
sparking a battle that Iraqi officials said killed 19 people.
Two employees of the Reuters
news agency were among
the dead.
Angry residents of the
Amin district — many of them
Shiites who fled to Baghdad
from Baqouba, where U.S.
troops are waging an offensive against insurgents
— accused U.S. helicopters
of striking buildings during
the fight with gunmen and
killing civilians.
Among the dead were at
least one woman and two
children, and some of the
men slain appeared to have
been armed and firing on the
Americans, Iraqi police and
hospital officials said.
U.S. forces have been
waging an intensified security crackdown against Shiite
and Sunni militants in and
around Baghdad for nearly
a month, as the Iraqi government struggles to make
political progress.

China to begin safety food
checks during Olympic trials
A system to monitor food
safety will go into effect during test events for the 2008
Beijing Olympics next month,
a government watchdog announced Thursday, even as a
TV station aired an undercover investigation showing how
shredded cardboard was used
as a filling in steamed buns.
The discovery of the tainted
buns highlights the country’s
perennial problems with food
safety despite government
efforts to improve the situation. Countless small, often
illegally run operations exist across China and make
money cutting corners using
inexpensive ingredients or
unsavory substitutes.
In the report aired Wednesday night, China Central Television showed a shirtless,
shorts-clad bun maker in Beijing using cardboard picked
up off the street to stuff his
steamed buns.
A hidden camera followed
the man into a ramshackle
building where steamers
were filled with the fluffy
white buns, called baozi,
traditionally stuffed with
minced pork.
It showed how cardboard
was first soaked to a pulp in
a plastic basin of caustic soda
— a chemical base commonly
used in manufacturing paper
and soap — then chopped
into tiny morsels with a cleaver. Fatty pork and powdered
seasoning were stirred in as
flavoring and the concoction
was stuffed into the buns.

reports that the action was
part of a final assault on the
al-Qaida-inspired Islamic
militants barricaded inside.
The firing began just before
dawn and hours after more
than 150 civilians fled on foot
from the camp in northern
Lebanon, as soldiers ringing
the neighborhood moved up

The army said two soldiers
were killed Thursday, bringing the number of military
dead to 88 since fighting began at the Nahr el-Bared camp
on May 20. Earlier an armored

soldiers out of the camp.
Between five and 10 shells

of the School of Music and
Dance, adding that singers
sent pre-recorded auditions
from all over the country.
In addition to the concerts,
OBF includes master classes,
offering students from New
Mexico to New Zealand advanced training in both choral
and orchestral conducting.
Originally held in Beall Music Hall as an outgrowth of
the School of Music, OBF has
since expanded beyond the
University. While some concerts still take place in Beall —
though not this year, because
of construction in the building
— many of the events are held
downtown in the Hult Center
for the Performing Arts.
“Beall Hall only seats 540
people and the stage can only
fit one full orchestra, but not
the chorus,” Foley said. On
the flip side, Silva Concert
Hall, the largest of the Hult
Center’s in-house venues, has
enough seats to accommodate
2,500 people.
“Over the years, OBF has
really grown a lot,” Foley said.
“What started as a seven-day
workshop has grown into this
internationally-renowned
festival.”
Attracting an annual audience from all over the United
States and the world, OBF
brings a tourism boom to
Eugene each summer and
generates millions of dollars
for the local economy. Of the
estimated 32,000 festival-goers, roughly one quarter come
from out of town.
While it’s too soon for anyone to know the exact figures
for this year, OBF Communications Director George
Evano said the festival’s indirect economic impact during
recent years has amounted to
approximately $6 million.
Indirect economic impact,
in addition to the sales from
OBF tickets and merchandise,
accounts for money spent on
things like food and accommodations. While the number
of tourists is a factor, so is the
festival’s length.
“A lot of people involved
become Eugene residents for
that chunk of time,” Evano
said. “They stay in hotels
here, they eat at restaurants
here, they shop here, they go
to touristy attractions here. It
creates good business.”
Several lodging options are
recommended on the festival’s Web site, ranging from
the Excelsior Inn, where each
of the 14 rooms is named after famous classical composers, to the Eugene Hilton &
Conference Center.
With 274 rooms, the Eugene Hilton is the area’s largest hotel. It’s also right across
the street from the Hult Center, making it a popular place
to stay for OBF tourists.
Eugene Hilton General
Manager Jody Hall estimated
that each night during the
festival an average of 10 to 15
rooms more than usual were
checked out.
Hall said that OBF is not
only good for his hotel, but his
city, providing a level of culture not always available in a
city Eugene’s size.
Foley added the festival is
also good for the University.
“It’s a really high-quality, high-level festival and has
helped put the University and
its music community on the
international map,” he said.
“It certainly gives added visibility to our music school for
being involved, but I think
it gives prestige to the entire
University for having this
world-class program.”
Science: Martin says ears can be easily damaged by loud or constant noise
Continued from page 1
second event, hosted its first
discussion last month.
“The more people drink
the more fun it gets,” he said.
“Audience participation is
key.”
Martin was blunt about the
physiology of human ears:
They’re delicate organs that
are easily damaged permanently by everyday exposure
to loud or constant noise. Every time a sound goes up six
decibels, a person doubles the
pressure on his eardrums.
“They weren’t designed for
a rock concert, they were designed to let you hear a lion
breaking a twig so it wouldn’t
eat you,” he said. “Now, you
can’t just hear it, it has to rearrange your internal organs.”
The sensitive part of the ear
that translates vibrations into
sensation the brain interprets,
called hair cells, look like a
set of bristles packed together. Listen to loud sounds for
a short amount of time or low
noise for a long amount of
time and you can permanently kill off those cells forever.
Only birds and amphibians
can regrow the cells.
Experiments ranged from
the interactions of tuning
forks and ping pong balls,
to the decibel readings on a
blender set to “frappe” and
a poll of audience members’
volume settings on their iPods. This reporter’s earphones
clocked in at a respectable 75
decibels.
“Never before in history
have we had the technology
to have continual playback
for so many hours,” Martin
said. This threshold is what
causes permanent damage,
high or low notes don’t matter
as much as volume and time.
Accordingly, the crowd was
encouraged to keep their players’ volume set at 80 percent
for no more than 90 minutes.
Martin also discussed what
model of headphones are
safest to use. He said inserts
work better than earbuds,
noise cancellation and overear headphones, but ultimately people tend to turn all the
models up too loud when they

“If you just turn it down a
little bit you can listen forever,” he said.
Next month the topic will
be invasive species, and
Thomas is looking to line up
speakers on tsunami wave action, and string theory.
The idea to bring together
science and beer isn’t necessarily original, she said. A
British organization called
Cafe Scientifique deserves the
credit for sparking the trend
almost a decade ago.
“The fact that we’ve had
so many people show up this
early,” she said a half hour
before the event started, “is
testament to the success of
the format.”
Robert Kelsey the booking
manager at Luna said the first
event was almost a victim of
that success.
“We had everyone from
80-year-olds to 15-year-olds
in here,” he said. “With more
than 150 people in here it was
squished. We got slammed.”
Thursday’s gathering was
lass packed, but still a full
crowd. There wasn’t a empty
table in the house.
“I think it’s going to taper
off this month and August,
the students are away and it’s
hot. Come back in September
and we’ll be turning people
away,” Kelsey said.

Bong: University students will not be affected by the Supreme Court’s ruling
Continued from page 1
20 years,” said Kyu Ho Youm,
a communication scholar
and journalism professor.
“The Supreme Court is fine
tuning [Tinker].”
In its opinion, the court
referred to many other cases
involving student speech, and
held this one was unique because its message could be interpreted as promoting illegal
drug use.
“Nowadays, more than
ever, speech gets more scrutiny, but overall, judges are
still serious about protecting
student speech,” Youm said.
“The courts want to maintain
previous rulings.”
Charles Hinkle, a media law attorney with
the Portland-based Stoel
Rives, disagreed.
“It is a terrible restriction, not just to students but
everyone,” he said. “The
historical fact is that bong
hits for Jesus was not disruptive. No one laughed,”
said Hinkle.
In a dissenting opinion,
Justice John Stevens, joined
by Justices David Souter and
Ruth Ginsburg, wrote, “Although this case began with
a silly, nonsensical banner,
it ends with the Court inventing out of whole cloth a special First Amendment rule
permitting the censorship of
any student speech that mentions drugs, at least so long
as someone could perceive
that speech to contain a latent
pro-drug message.”
Hinkle credited the court’s
religious make-up for
the decision.
“This is the first time in
history that five Roman
Catholic Justices have sat on
the court,” Hinkle said. “The
Supreme Court should reflect
the pluralism and diversity of
our society.”
Hinkle said the current
Supreme Court is “result oriented,” and said, “the First
Amendment exists to protect
speech that we do not like.”
But both agreed that University students should not be
greatly affected.

El Vaquero dishes up Latin spice
stEVEn r. nEUMAn
News Editor
Sometimes it’s good to live richly,
enjoy the finer things in life and skip
the ramen for once.
The Latin-inspired Eugene restaurant El Vaquero is for just such an
occasion, mostly because a dinner
for two could easily cost as much as
one quarter of a student’s monthly
rent, but also because the food
is excellent.
The ambiance falls squarely into
the realm of other local upscale
eateries, with a comforting touch of
warmly lit hacienda: Think
California mission crossed with
downtown Portland.
Nevertheless, there are some
major drawbacks. Despite a Web
site that claims a lot of vegetarian
dishes, El Vaquero doesn’t have a
lot to offer the meat-free crowd.
There are a few options, but these
seem to pale in comparison to the
overwhelming number of rich cuts
of meat and seafood options. Sometimes a salad, even a well appointed
one, looks inadequate next to a table
full of steaks. Let’s face it, this is a
steakhouse — so even if you don’t
eat steak bet on eating some meat.
During two separate visits, service was somewhat inconsistent.
On one night, the table was graced
with a knowledgeable waitress willing to recommend an appropriate
bottle of wine, but on a return a few
months later, there was confusion
among the floor staff. Dishes were
JAroD oPPErMAn | Photographer
turn to VAQUEro, page 8
El Vaquero sports a full bar created by legendary Eugene mixologist Jeffrey
Morgenthaler, which includes plenty of microbrews on tap.
Let’s get one thing clear from the start:
“Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”
is a good movie. It maintains the atmosphere
of the previous Harry Potter movies, the acting is very good (Emma Watson’s overacting
was even toned down a little), and, like the
other four movies, it’s immensely satisfying to see all the magical aspects of the
books come to life. Evanna Lynch as Luna
Lovegood, especially, was a thrill to watch,
and Imelda Staunton was sublimely evil as
Professor Umbridge.
“Phoenix” is also very funny. There is plenty of comic relief to balance out the intensely
dramatic aspects of the film. While such
comic relief is nice, at times it feels as though
some of the emotional scenes are cut short by
misplaced jokes.
It’s not all good. Unfortunately, the fifth
book is so long that it’s really too much content to cram into one movie. “Phoenix” was
a really long book, but the movie version is
the shortest of all the Harry Potter movies
so far. Because of this, details and explanations get pushed aside for the strictly necessary action sequences and subplots that
push the plot along.
For the casual Harry Potter watcher or reader, this isn’t necessarily such a big deal. The
film will still probably make sense to someone
who had never read the book. But for die-hard
Potter fans, who take the series very seriously,
“Phoenix” just isn’t up to par with the
previous movies.
Characters who play large roles in the book,
such as Sirius Black, Cho Chang, Harry’s
friends and even Dumbledore, have been
pushed aside for more emphasis on Harry
and, oddly enough, Professor Umbridge.
A lot of time is spent showing just how
evil Umbridge is, and while that is certainly
entertaining, it would have been nice to see
that time used to show Harry and the Weasleys visiting Mr. Weasley in the hospital or
to show Ron becoming a Quidditch star at
school. Even Hermione’s blackmailing of
journalist Rita Skeeter is absent — a bit that
would have helped to explain why everyone
believes Harry’s story in the end. Everyone,
it seems, plays a smaller role in “Phoenix”
because time just doesn’t permit them to play
the role they should.
Ultimately, these are minor details that
don’t have a significant impact on the
cinematic quality of the movie. But there
just seems to be too many shortcuts taken
and too many elements missing for it to be
considered a faithful adaptation of a Harry
Potter book.

Billy Corgan obviously
can’t make meticulous music
without his ancient allies in
the alternative rock
genre he originally
helped create. “Zeitgeist,” the Smashing
Pumpkins’ new album,
shows just this with the
tumultuous turmoil and
lucid lyrics we all loved
and missed during
the Zwan project and
Corgan’s solo days.
The first track,
“Doomsday Clock,” reiterates this rhetoric as
Corgan screams in his
patented suave tones,
“Please don’t stop, it’s
lonely at the top.” He
is accompanied by Jimmy
Chamberlin, who shows the
heart and soul of the Smashing Pumpkins through his
vicious, but articulate, drum
vibrations, while guitarist Jeff Schroeder perfectly
molds into the group, lashing the metal-like melodies
in abstract compliment to
Corgan’s signature voice.
But something new is
rhythms and distorted guitars
carry Corgan’s conspiracy
thoughts: “Dulcet tones whisper fast/ refuse your yearns,
renounce your past/ rouse
me soon, the end
draws nigh/ whose
side are you on/
your blood you
cannot buy.”
Overall, Zeitgeist
picks up where the
Pumpkins left off.
It’s loud and violent,
with verbal allusions
unlike anything Corgan has ever written.
While “Starz” and
“That’s The Way (My
Love Is)” provide
catchy singles with
Chamberlin’s quick
Courtesy
and continuous bass
amiss in this “reunion”
kicks and cymbal licks,
of the alt-rock epitome; Corevery song is deep in lyrical
gan’s gone way more political and musical composition, fithan ever before. “United
nally boasting the true “core”
States” echoes the tenacity
of alternative rock for which
and tragedy of Metallica’s
fans have been waiting for
“One” as relentless tom
almost a decade.
Water: Testers did not like Evian
Continued from page 5
between Dasani, Aquafina
and Earth20, immediately
noticed a different taste
with Evian.
Most testers didn’t like
it, saying that it tasted
“bland,” “thicker” and
“funny.”
“(It’s) out of the picture,”
UO student Laura Jay said.
Her friend Hilary Olson
agreed, saying that it
tasted “stale.”
The only tester who preferred Evian over the other
brands was a woman named
Breanna Dumke. She didn’t
say why she liked it better,
but she was not surprised to
find that her least favorite
sample was Aquafina.
“Whenever I buy Aqua-
fina, I hate it,” she said.
Other testers liked
Aquafina the best because it
tasted “clean,” and one tester liked it because of its
unique taste.
“I love Aquafina because
it’s got a metallic taste,”
tester Courtney Willis said.
Willis was the only tester
who successfully guessed
the brands of all four samples. She lives in Southern
California and doesn’t drink
tap water there. Instead,
she sticks to bottled water
and apparently knows her
brands pretty well.
Others disliked Aquafina
for its metallic taste and
preferred Earth20, which is
bottled right here in Oregon.
Tester Mike Mathews said
NEWS NOW. RSS news feed.
it tasted “pretty pure,” and
other testers agreed.
“(It’s) the best. It was
kind of sweet; there wasn’t
anything bitter in it,” UO
student Derek Kirma said.
Dasani wasn’t nearly as
popular. Testers didn’t have
much to say about it, but
Rose Maddox noted that she
liked it because it didn’t have
any taste.
Tester Eva Sylwester, on
the other hand didn’t like it
because it “was kinda weird.”
Despite the differences in
taste (or lack thereof),
all the testers seemed relieved to have some free
water in Tuesday’s
sweltering weather.

presented to the wrong seats
with long lag times in between,
and a waiter who assured me
that one dish had no seafood
later delivered it piled high with
shellfish to another diner at the
table.
That problem could easily
be fixed by replacing the unusually sparse menus, which
barely listed ingredients and
conjured up food names in foreign tongues. Typically, a great
restaurant can’t wait to tell you
everything in a dish, how it was
cooked, which farmer made
the cheese — not El Vaquero.
Plus, substitutions are strictly
forbidden.
This actually stands in stark
contrast to the excellent and
detailed bar menu created by
legendary Eugene mixologist
Jeffrey Morgenthaler.
It’s been said before, but if
you have the cash, drop some
for a few Richmond Gimlets
— the perfect cocktail to beat
summer swelter.
Once the food was on the
table, such problems seemed
to melt away. The actual plating of the dishes is beautiful; a
romaine salad presented as a
heart of lettuce neatly quartered
on a long plate caught my eye,
and the rich tones of the restaurant seem to be infused into the
other hearty dishes.
A seared duck breast and
duck leg confit on the daily
menu were perfectly cooked,
and a special stuffed chicken
breast was positively the best
I’ve had in town. The tequilacream mashed potatoes are a
must-order side dish.
The seafood was declared excellent by a dining companion,
and his paella, a Spanish
stew, was gobbled up with
much delight.
Make no mistake: The food
at El Vaquero is pricey: Tapas
range from $7 to $26, and entrees start at $32, but for a special night it’s definitely worth it.
