Two Performances:
NU Singers To Present
Christmas Carol Concert
The University Singers, under
the direction of Dr. David Foltz,
will present their annual Christmas
Carol Concert on December 9, in
the Union Ballroom.
Two performances have been
scheduled, at 3 and 4:30 p.m.
As a college choir, the Singers
are similar in quality to the best
professional and college choirs m
the country. The group was organ
ized approximately fifteen years
ago. This past September, however,
the group was reorganized ilito a
symphonic concert tour.
The structure of the choir is
formed about the idea of matched
mixed quartets. Each group of four
is blended within itself, then all the
quartets are voiced to each other
to form the desired sound. The situ
ation demands independence from
each voice. The new organization
creates gratef tonal unity and pre
cision of articulation.
Mr. Leon Lishner, Mr. Jack
Snider, and a brass ensemble will
be featured along with the Singers.
The concert includes, "Fanfare
for Christmas Day," Shaw; "Break
Forth, 0 Bethlehem Town," a tra
ditional Bohemian carol; "Carol of
the Drum," a Czech carol; "Carol
of the Doves," a Polish j carol;
"touro Louro Louro," a French
carol; 'Hushing Carol," a con
temporary carol; "I Saw Three
Ships," an English carol; "Three
Carols," Warlock; "Five Modern
istic Carols," Gross; . "The Snow
Lies Thick," Robert Beadell.

sen, editor of the Nebraskan to
appear before the faculty sub
committee on student publications
Monday at 4 p.m. Colbert stated
that Jensens' appearance before
the publications committee does
not "preclude" the possibility of
an appearance before the main
committee.
The letter sent by the Nebraskan
to the Faculty student affairs com
mittee on Dec. 2 stated that " for
a student newspaper to best serve
the University, it is necessary that
an unimpeded flow of information
concerning students and faculty
activities be established."
"We also believe that a com
mittee which supervises so much
of the student life at the Univer
sity as does the committee on
Student Affairs should be more
aware of student opnion," the
letter went on to say.
In closing the letter stated that
the Nebraskan "would respect the
committee's right to make cer
tain decisions in private after, de
liberation, but we do not respect
the committee's right to continuos
ly meet in closed session. '1
In a Nov. 27 editorial the Ne
braskan stated that whenever at
tendance in a faculty committee
on student affairs meeting is asked
"usually when an issue of campus
interest is before the organization,
the committee votes to have a
closed meeting."
The editorial continued; "Recent
ly, when the committee met to
hear the IFC complaint a Nebras
kan photographer was dispatched
to take a picture of the group.
The committee on student affairs
decided by vote that they didn't
want their pictures taken."
"We have no way of knowing if
student organizations are getting
a fair break or if the committee
is merely acting as a rubber stamp
for the Student Affairs office, "the
editorial said.
