Jim Rubens travelled from White River Junc- tion, Vt., to Carson City, Nev., in October to compete in the world’s first International Whistle-off. He placed third in the All-Male and Country Western categories and won an 18-inch hand carved wooden whistle for his efforts. The contest, sponsored by the Carson City Chamber of Commerce and the Logical Machine Cor- poration, attracted 300 whistlers. “For the past seven years I have practiced whistling at least two hours a day,” Rubens said, noting that he sees whistling as a very native form of expres- sion, just the opposite of electronic music, which he worked with at Dartmouth. He has been run- ning his own tree-service business for the past three years and is considering attending the second international whistling contest.
