Art group
works itself
out of a job
The out-going president of the UNL Friends of the Arts
said he hopes the grup is defunct by the end of next year.
Nelson Potter, the group's founder and retiring president,
said that although he considers the group's year "a very
successful one," it was intended to be only a temporary
coordinator of different groups working for a common
cause art.
Potter said the group's projects, since its September
founding, have included a hand, in the Save the Stuart
campaign, the Igor Kipnis visit and the Weekend with Music.
He said the group was unable to fold this year because
"many projects are incomplete."
"There still is a fragmentation of things concerning the arts
around campus. This year there were many good things going
on that people didn't know about. There was money around
to bring quality performers to campus, but it was scattered.
People just couldn't seem to get together," said Potter, an
assistant professor of philosophy.
At the group's last meeting of the year, Thursday, plans
were outlined to organize an interdisciplinary group and
initiate a performing arts "super-series." Most universities the
size of UNL have such a regular performing arts series. Potter
said.
"The performing arts series, as its name indicates, should
not be confined to the musical or fine arts. It should also
include dance, drama and anything else that's appropriate,"
Potter said.
Also at the Thursday meeting John Moran, professor of
music, suggested that the proposed UNL fieldhouse be used
for cultural events as well as athletics.
The group expressed its desire for performing artists to visit
campus on somewhat the same basis as Igor Kipnis. Kipnis, a
world-famous harpsichordist, spent four days at UNL. Along
with formal concerts, he visited dormitories in shirtsleeves and
talked with students about music and his life.
Suggested performances to seek for next year included the
Guthrie Theater, a professional repertory theater; and a
symphony orchestra.
The last time such an orchestra visited campus was in 1948.
Then the Minneapolis Symphony played at the Coliseum.
