Friends of the arts
plan coordinating role
by Carolyn Hull
University Friends of the Arts (UFA), who only last year
were struggling for recognition as a campus student activity,
now play an important part in coordinating fine arts at the
University, according to one member.
"We wanted to be an all-campus group where faculty,
students and staff all would have equal voting privileges. We
found there were no channels for dealing with a group of that
nature," said Bill Wall is, UFA president.
A new constitution has been written for the group, which
Wall is hopes will be approved by the ASUN senate. The
constitution will be presented at the fall organizational
meeting Monday in the Nebraska Union.
The new cultural affairs committee also will be explained.
"On a practical level, University Friends of the Arts has
been charged with making a go of the performing artists series
arranged by President Varner through the cultural affairs
committee," Wall is said.
UFA is co-sponsoring guest artists with the Union in an
effort to bring good performers to the campus for a major
concert and discussions in living units.
"We want to offer exciting entertainment and make it
readily available by taking it to living units. We also could have
a social event that gives students from different campus groups
a common event," Wall is said. "Arts can be fun, he added.
The first visitor this year will be Carol Rosenberger, whom
Wallis called "a brilliant young pianist." She will be on campus
Oct. 10-12. Also scheduled are Cathy Berberian, vocalist, and
mimist Toni Attel.
"Forces at UNL have been working toward the arts, but in
a disorganized and isolated manner," Wallis said.
University Friends of the Arts are coordinating their efforts
with others through the newly formed cultural affairs
committee. The committee is designed to build a fine arts
program for the University by combining efforts of all
resources available to strengthen cultural affairs that have been
struglling individually.
"We need student membership to feed in new ideas, and to
help us communicate more effectively. There is a nonsensical
idea that the only place faculty and students can meet is in a
classroom. The artistic community is a melting pot where
everyone is needed," Wallis said.
Community members outside the University may belong as
associate members with all privileges except voting and holding
office.
"We can look to a bright future of the arts here. I believe
they are an essential part of undergraduate and graduate
education and that we should begin to expect within four or
five years to have a performing series of perhaps 10 or 12
major artists ranging from pop to classical and a facility for
their concerts. UFA's efforts now are to build an appreciation
and audience for that time," Wallis said.
