ARSC GRANTS COMMITTEE REPORT
May 22, 2003

Since the report of October 10, 2002 the Committee has received ten
requests for information about the program, answered by sending sets of
guidelines or by responding to specific questions. The chairman approved
and submitted to the treasurer Ross Laird's and John A. Maltese's
documentations of expenses for their awards.

During the Summer and Fall the committee revised the guidelines in order to
encourage applications from graduate students, to improve reporting about
work funded by ARSC, and to ensure credit for work done under ARSC grants
when published by other organizations.

Five applications were received and circulated to members for evaluation.
Two ineligible requests were also received.

After study of the eligible applications the committee recommends that
three grants be awarded, to:

1) Amy Cyr, $1000, to help fund travel expenses for her project to document
and analyze the different schools of teaching and playing the Egyptian
flute, called the "nay", in the twentieth century.

2) John Koegel, $650, to assist in funding his research trip to visit
collections of non-commercial field recordings of Hispanic-American music
to prepare a descriptive inventory for his resource book, Sources of
Spanish Colonial, Mexican, and Mexican-American Music in the United States.

3) David N. Lewis, $350, to help pay travel expenses to the Reneker Museum
of Winona History to inventory recordings, to copy record catalogues, and
to incorporate data from the Museum's collection into a discography of
Homer Rodeheaver (Rainbow and Special labels).

Thank you: Suzanne Flandreau, Bob Kenselaar, and Suzanne Stover for your
work this year for the Committee.


Respectfully submitted, Richard Warren Jr.,
Chairman
