erberian no chiffon scarf

"I must confess I wasn't sure exactly where I was
coming," Cathy Berberian said. But inspite of a hazy
idea about where Nebraska is, icy highways and
threatening skies, the visiting artist arrived in Lincoln
Wednesday night.
The mezzo soprano's visit is sponsored by the
Nebraska Union Musical Fine Arts Committee. She
will visit UNL living units, much the same as Carol
Rosenberger did when she visited. A major recital has
been scheduled for 8 p.m. today in the Union
Ballroom.
Small group sessions, which started Wednesday,
are Friday at 10:30 a.m. in the English Department
lounge, 1:30 p.m. in 132 Wettbrook and Jazz and
Java at 3:30 p.m. In the South Crib. A reception also
will be held after tha Thursday night performance.
Berberian terms herself a nonconformist, doing
recitals in a theatrical cabaret style. She has discarded
the "traditional chiffon handkerchief recital," as she
calls most static recitals, in favor of one more exciting
to hear and see. Thursday night's recital will include
works done by artists ranging from novelist James
Joyce to German composer Kurt Weill to the Paul
McCartneyJohn Lennon duo.
She says this wide range is not out of the ordinary
for her. On the return trip from Omaha's Eppley
Airfield, she related that in one year she had been
approached by artists such as Igor Stravinsky, Cladio
Monteverdi and Frank Zappa (who offered her a part
in his movie "22 Motels"). She says she doesn't want
to be known as one type of singer and with such a
wide variety of work that doesn't seem likely.
The Beatles number is a baroque arrangement by
Louis Andriessen of "Yesterday" and 'Ticket to
Ride." After hearing it, she said McCartney's
comment was an amazed "Weird!"
The exuberant woman seemed eager to meet the
University audience. Her three-daV stop here comes
between a taping session with the Canadian
Broadcasting Company in Toronto on Tuesday and
performing with the Buffalo Philharmonic next week.
"After that, I'm taking a vacation around the
middle of December, the first one in four and a half
years," she said. Then, it's on the road again with
plans as far ahead as a Japanese tour in 1975.
'The stage is where I live, there's nothing like the
moment the audience is yours," Berberian said.,

'CEP attracts one kind of student'
by A.J. McClanahan
The Centennial Education Program (CEP)
recently was evaluated, and some findings of a
report have been released in a letter to UNL
Chancellor James Zumberge.
The program has proven itself applicable to
one kind of student, according to Harry Allen,
director of institutional research and planning
and member of the Centennial Advisory
Committee.
According to Allen, similar programs may
not replicate Centennial, but they deserve a
high priority under the University's Five Year
Plan. Whether or not they are created depends
on the University's budget, he said.
Although CEP was not designed as an honors
grogram for bright students, it appears It is
jnore'able students who hVve sought entry into
it, according to the Centennial Advisory
Committee report.
Compared to the University at large CEP
students have a higher retention rate, according
to the committee. Only 74 per cent of top
quarter high school students admitted as
freshmen in 1969 were still enrolled at the
University after five semesters, while between
84 and 86 per cent of that some group of
students in Centennial were still enrolled.
Another committee conclusion was that
students in Centennial tend to be more excited
about learning, are more involved in some types
of cultural and extracurricular activities and
have closed contact with faculty outside of
their major than non-Centennial students.
It was added, however, that this pertained
mainly for those students who started and
remained in the program.
It also was found that the greater share of
CEP students were from the College of Arts and
Sciences. The committee suggested that
subsequent planning should develop similar
programs specifically oriented towards interests
of students in other areas.
