The Archives of Traditional Music will sponsor its second and last concert this spring as part of its Friday Noon Concert Series in the Hoagy Carmichael Room. The concert, on April 12, will feature Amandla Ugetsi and Heather Adou performing acoustic African jazz.
The members of Amandla Ugetsi bring together musical influences from West and South Africa, Brazil and the Caribbean, as well as New Orleans and New York City. The focus of the ensemble is the interaction between the rhythmic sophistication of African an d Afro-Caribbean musics and the linear improvisation and stylistic interaction of American jazz. Performers Chris Smith (guitar) and Rob Mulligan (percussion) will be joined by vocalist Heather Adou, who also plays balafon and ngoni. They will perform a mixture of original compositions, Malian folk songs, and commercial tunes of Caribbean and jazz roots.
The Archives of Traditional Music is proud to present these performances on Fridays from noon to 1 p.m. in the Hoagy Carmichael Room, Morrison Hall 006. Take advantage of the wealth and variety of musical talent present in Bloomington! All concerts are free and open to the public. Bring your lunch and join us! For more information contact the Archives of Traditional Music at 855-4679.

Hillary Byrn and Cindy Lee Stokes, both current student at Indiana University's School of Library and Information Science (SLIS), have received scholarship awards from the Indiana University Librarians Association (InULA). The annual competition requires applicants to submit a statement of philosophy of librarianship/information provision and career goals, along with at least one letter of recomm endation and documentation of academic standing. The 1996 competition attracted over twenty outstanding applications, and special congratulations are due to the two awardees, each of whom will receive $500 inaid of their continuing pursuit of SLIS master' s degrees.
Hillary Byrn, a Bloomington resident, became interested in library and information science through her employment in the IU Bloomington libraries, where she continues to work as she pursues her degree. Cindy, also a Bloomington resident, was most recently employed as an analyst at the IU Budget Office, a position she left to become a full-time SLIS student.
As provided by the conditions of the award, the philosophy and goals statements of both award winners will be published in an upcoming issue of InULA Notes on the InULA World Wide Web site.
The InULA board and membership offer sincere congratulations to Hillary and Cindy! And we thank all the applicants for their interest and for their excellent applications which made the selection process an enjoyable, although rigorous, endeavor for the board members!
