World-renowned string trio visits Shoreline
The award winning Jacques Thibaud String Trio will perform at the Campus Theater on Jan. 19 at 7:30 p.m. Prize-winners in the prestigious 1999 Bonn Chamber Music Competition, the Jacques Thibaud String Trio was founded at the Berlin School of Art in 1994 and named after the great 19th-century French violinist. Unique among today's chamber ensembles, these three young musicians play by heart. Calling their playing spontaneous and commanding, the New York Times said, "This could be the first string trio in some time to have a major career." These musicians are clearly on a mission, but they are also having fun. The program will include Trio in C minor, Op. 9 No. 3 by Beethoven; String Trio by Jean Franaix; Adagio and Fugue No. 6 in F minor by W.F. Bach and Mozart; Adagio and Fugue No. 3 in F minor by J.S. Bach and Mozart; and Serenade in C major, Op. 10 by Ernst von Dohnanyi. "Their playing had authority as well as heat; exalted expertise a triumph," said the L.A. Times.
For prices and tickets, call Ticket Line at (206) 546-4606. Mastercard and Visa orders accepted. No service or handling charges.

Accessing the library, research made easy
Our library staff wants everyone to know that despite the chaos of renovation, (scheduled for completion sometime in the spring quarter of 2002) materials are still available for checkout. The temporary library is located in Room 5100, next to the bookstore. Here are some quick tips to efficiently access library materials: Your student ID card is your library card. Check out materials in storage, either in person at Room 5100 or online: If you're at the temporary library, just ask for a call slip, fill in the required information about the book, and submit the slip. If you have questions about finding the books you need, ask. Our librarians know how to quickly find information, and they often display amazingly creative search techniques that minimize hassle and save time. Send your request online. To access the library catalog through computers on campus, go to oscar.ctc.edu/library and submit your request. Your request will be grouped with other call slips by 9:00 a.m. Trips are made each weekday at:
9:00 a.m.
Book retrieval is also available on Saturdays and Sundays at:
1:30 p.m.
Whether online or at the library, be sure to submit your call slips at least 30 minutes prior to trip time. Allow up to two hours for the books to arrive at Room 5100. If you prefer to browse the library catalog from home, first sign up for a student e-mail account. Go to zoot.shore.ctc.edu/info (all lower case) and follow the instructions. Allow 24 hours for processing, then use oscar.ctc.edu/library to request, renew, and reserve books. There is more to do at the library's website than search for books: Study research tutorials, browse a variety of databases, and ask questions at the online reference desk. If an instructor casually mentions one of those mysterious writing styles, MLA or APA, fret not. The website has detailed instructions about following the requirements of each style. Periodically check the home page for style workshop schedules. A course entitled "Research in the Information Age" (Library 150/2 credits) offers techniques for library research anywhere, anytime. The class contains a strong computer element that emphasizes online research, and these skills are designed to benefit students long after college.
Remember: Ask questions. Don't be shy. Librarians are happy and ready to help.

Remembering Martin Luther King Jr. an invitation to all clubs
Martin Luther King Jr. Day will be celebrated at Shoreline on Jan. 17, 2002, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the PUB. Marquita Prinzing, Minister of Information for the Black Student Union (BSU), invites all campus clubs to participate in this event. This year's theme is "Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that." At approximately 11:30, clubs will have an opportunity to give two to three minute testimonials: "As a club, who Martin Luther King Jr. is to us." Total club testimonial time will be thirty minutes. The BSU also welcomes all volunteers who would like to participate in this event by assisting with table setup during the morning of the 17th. Monetary donations in any amount are also appreciated, with remaining funds supporting Shoreline's annual Black History Month activities.

Classic string players take note
Shoreline has a new string ensemble instructor. Mr. Irwin Eisenberg is a professional violinist and violist. He played with the Philadelphia Orchestra, then became a founding member of the Philadelphia String Quartet. The quartet debuted at Carnegie Hall, toured the world, and was the quartet-in-residence at the University of Washington. Mr. Eisenberg currently coaches at the Chamber Music Institute of the Olympic Music Festival. He is a private instructor and an active member of the Pacific Northwest Ballet Orchestra. Until now, Shoreline's string ensemble has remained active through the much-appreciated efforts of several music department instructors who have volunteered their time, even though string ensemble is not in their area of expertise. Know any string players, on campus or off? Help get the word out to any cello, violin, or viola players who may enjoy this opportunity. Interested students may register for String Ensemble, Music 155, Item #1857. The one-credit class is set for Fridays at 12:30 in the band room of the music building, but the meeting time is flexible.
Please note that although Mr. Eisenberg is not presently listed as the course instructor, this information will be updated in future catalogs.

Local group Suicide Jack, has cancelled their scheduled performance at the College. The performance, set for Feb. 2, was canceled due to the band's breaking up. A representative from the group was not available for comment. Formed in 1997 from an all-star cast of local artists, Suicide Jack has taken a broad range of musical influences -- from blues to gospel, honky-tonk, country and rock -- and formed its own dark, smoky and intense sound. Vocalist CT (formerly of the Dead Kennedys, the Dwarves, Santana and Taj Mahal), keyboardist Rob Mitchell (Johnny's Problem, the Boxcar Tramps), drummer Mike Stone (Crack Sabbath, the Scallywags, Danny Barnes, Wayne Horvitz), guitarist David Miles Keenan (Ranch Romance, Miles and Karina, Joe Miller and the Burly Roughnecks), bassist Marc Brown (the Boxcar Tramps), and Hammond B-3 organist Ron Weinstein were all major influences on the local and national music scene before coalescing to produce steamy songs about reckless living, drinking bravado, misery and violence, love and loss, drug abuse, and the long road to redemption.
Suicide Jack's CDs include In Churches and Saloons (1997) and Honky Tonk Suicide (2000).
