As Guenevere, Sandy Phillips sings of the "simple joys of maiden-
noocr m Kosmet Klub's production of Camelot.
Color, talented cast
found in "Camelot"
Review by Susie Jenkins
Nebraskan Staff Writer
Billed as "the largest amateur stage
production in Nebrska and the
midwest," Xosmet Klub's production
last weekend of "Camelot lived up
to its advance publicity as a presen
tation of color and extravagance.
Producer-director-designer De:n
Tschetter created scenes of
astonishing beauty, working with a
book that provides little ready-made
assistance for the performers.
Tschetter led his tallented cast and
coordinated the production with agili
ty. Tschetter's ingredients were a well
prepared cast, who played with grace.
Sandy Phillips as Guenevere was a
beautiful and relaxed heroine. She
nlayed her role extremely well, and
her soprano voice coalesced every
scene in which she appeared.
ALTHOUGH his voice Is not meant
for musicals, Andy Backer talked and
sang his King Arthur role as a man
who was truly perplexed at the dif
ference betweeen his emotion and his
duty. Backer played Arthur with a
Lear-like quality, as a king who Is
pleased whan he discovers that he has
made wise decisions as ruler of
Camelot.
Scene-stealing honors go to Bruce
Burin and Skip Lundby, who played
t'ellinore and Mordred. Borin's gaff
ing, clownish portrayal of Pellinore
was complete, all the way to his
whiskey-red nose. Lundby cackled and
lurked around the Pershing stage as
the bastard son Mordred who didn't
need his Basic Black costume to con
vince the world that he was Evil
Personified.
JEFF SAYItE was a combination
of the Cheerios Kid and Dudley Dc
Hight as Lancelot. Surrounded by
some of the finest stage talent in the
area, Sayre held his place on stage,
jousting along in his maxi-length
tunic. Fighting for Right. His
handsome voice was a ?ood vehicle
for the famous solos awarded to
Lancelot by the writers Lerner and
Loewe.
Kosmet Klub's $20 thousand pro
duction was doubly a challenge due
to the great exposure the play has
suffered on stage and on film. The
quality of the full cast production
numbers wavered from scene to
scene. The "Maying" sequence was
joyous and lively, tied together by
a long May vine. On the other hand,
the near burning of Guenevere was
slow to the point of frustration due
to lack of movement and un
distinguishable lyrics.
Music Director Paul Surface
prepared his orchestra and chorus
very well, and was a masterful direc
tor during the performance. Jan

choreography were Interesting and
bouncy, with the exception of the fairy
nymphs scene in which some seemed
to have a little trouble coordinating
their chiffon with their tutus.
THE LIGHTING was excellent
and the New York costumes were
rich, but were overshadowed by the
really powerful sets, which were
strikingly stark yet intricate.
This brings up the main problem
with the entire production. It is
ridiculous to subject national or local
performers to a completely inade
quate sound system. The distracting
crackle of microphones and the
unavoidable imbalance between
speakers and orchestra are quite
frustrating to the audience and surely
to the players. Certainly Lincoln can
afford either a new auditorium or at
least a new sound reproduction
system.
A special note of appreciation
should go to John McCollister who
so graciously provided this reporter
with two lovely front row center sec
tion tickets for the Saturday night
performance.
NROTC pistol team
captures first place
The University's Navy ROTC pistol
team captured the General Lowell
English trophy at the second annual
Big Eight NROTC rifle and pistol
tournament last week.
The trophy, which signifies first
place among the 6 six competing
teams, is highly coveted, according to
Maj. Ronald F. Calta, associate pro
fessor of naval science. It was named
in honor of a former NU All-American
football player who graduated in the
late 1930's.
The Midshipman team which won
the meet was composed of David
Cozad, John Foster, Jeffrey Vermeer,
Richard Loshbaugh and Dennis
Tente.
Loshbaugh placed first In the in
dividual, timed fire competition, Calta .
said. Cozad placed first in rapid fire
competition.
The Navy ROTC also entered a rifle
team In the Big Eight competition, but
that group finished last among the six
competing teams.
The NROTC team in six matches
besides the Big Eight tournament, is
undefeated, Calta added.

Nebraska law students
support legal service
Robert Finch, U.S. Secretary of
Health, Education and Welfare, met
with a group of law students last week
urging the administration to maintain
and substantially expand the federally
supported Legal Services Program.
The students presented Finch with
a letter to President Nixon which had
been signed by 7.908 law students and
teachers. John K. Boyer, president
of the Nebraska Law Students
Association, announced that among
those signatures were 188 law students
and faculty at the University College
of Law.
Boyer said the letter suggested that
the administration's "wholehearted
support of the Legal Services
Proeram will plav a large Dart in
breaking the barrier of poverty and
permitting all of our citizens to
particiDate fully in our national life
alongside their fellow Americans."
The Legal Services Program, which
is within the Office of Economic Op
portunity, funds 850 law offices geared
to the legal rerjresentation of poor
peonle. Over 1.800 lawvers currently
work in the different offices supported
by the program.
One of the main objectives of the
proeram, according to Boyer, is to
help bring about changes in those
areas of the law which adversely af
fect the poor.
The letter received by Finch on
behalf of the administrate emphasiz
ed that federal support "provides the
indeoendence which a Legal Services
attorney must have to press his
client's claim, whirh mavvervwell
REGULATION OR ORDINANCE."
