Zumbergo . . . five ways to earn $927,000.
Zumberge rules out
student assessment
Neither a tuition increase nor a special one semester student
assessment will be recommended to the Board of Regents as
ways to help pay UNL's $927,000 share of a projected $1.4
million University budget deficit, UNL Chancellor James
Zumberge told the UNL Faculty Senate Tuesday. ,
The projected loss was announced at the Nov. 10 Board of
Regents meeting.
. At the meeting, University officials said the debt would
result because fewer students than estimated are attending
UNL, students are taking fewer credit hours than in past years
and income from nonresident tuition has decreased because of
a change in Nebraska residency law.

Bureaucracy' mires Ko-op;
January opening projected
The ASUN-organized Assoc.. - '
Students Ko-op, which was expected to be
in business by early October, apparently will
not be operating this semester.
ASUN President Bruce Beecher said
Tuesday the Ko op definitely will be in
operation by the first day of the second
semester. He said the project has had to slog
its way through several bureaucratic
entanglements to get where it now is.
The biggest bugaboo for the project,
according to Beecher, was incorporating it
separately from the ASUN Senate. To do
this a bill had to win senate approval, a
board of directors had to be established, a
lawyer hired and contracts with retail
merchants drawn up.
According to Beecher, the lengthy
incorporation procedure is due to delay by
the attorney.
Originally, the Ko-op was planned to
begin operation when school started. After
researching other student cooperatives he
said the decision was made, to incoporate
separately from ASUN and the opening date
had to be pushed back to allow time for
incorporation.
Ted Schafer, the lawyer for the Ko-op
said normal incorporation proceedings take
about two to three weeks.
"They've probably been dinking around
with this thing for four or five weeks," he
said. "There's no problem with it It's just a
normal procedure.
"They just didn't get the material to me,"
Schafer said, "J don't think it's anybody's
fault. They've just moved slowly." ' '
According to Daily Nebraskan files
Beecher said during his election campaign
last spring that he already had done the
initial research on some cooperative projects
and would be ready to implement them this
fall.
Last spring Beecher also requested a
summer wage increase for ASUN executives.
He said the raise In part was necessary
because of the work that had to be, done so
ASUN could "move quickly in the fall" to
implement plans for the Ko-op.
The senate voted to pay Beecher a
summer wage of $2.25 an hour and the first
and second vice presidents $2 an hour, with
a 25-hour-a-week limit for each executive.
Previously ASUN executives had earned
$100 for summer work.
Beecher earned a summer salary of $516.
First vice president Sam Brower earned $155
and second vice president Michelle Gagne
earned $363.
On Sept. 13 Beecher said the Ko-op
organization would be In operation "within
a month," according to Daily Nebraskan
files. He indicated a lawyer was working on
contracts with downtown retailers.
About a month later, Pat Dyson, a
member of the Ko-op's board of directors
and chairman of the ASUN Student Services
Committee, said his committee was "waiting
to go" on the Ko-op. Again on Oct. 20
Dyson said he hoped the Ko-op would be
ready for operation in another month.
Although the Ko-op's bylaws are
complete, it apparently is experiencing some
difficulties incorporating.
On Nov. 3 Dyson said it "could be a
month, it could be longer, depending on the
response we get from businessmen" before
the total operation of the Ko-op could
begin.
. Beecher said Monday a machine for
producing I. D. cards, one of IN initial
services mentioned still is not available. He
said it is on order, however.
Ko-op membership will cost $5 for the
'rest of the fiscal year until August.
Beecher said no decision has been reached
on who will be able to purchase membership
in the Ko-op.
St. Paul
as
real people
by Carolyn Hull
"People appreciate knowing musicians are real
people. Seeing them in small groups gives the
audience member someone to identify with when the
chamber orchestra is in concert," according to
conductor Dennis Russell Davies.
The St. Paul (Minn.) Chamber Orchestra's "Music
on the Move" program has taken it Into the
community, performing in small groups to places as
varied as businesses and prisons.
While in residence at UNL since Tuesday orchestra
members have met with students in living units and in
coaching sessions. Performing in small groups, the
orchestra divides into two string quartets, a
woodwind quintet and the chamber arts consort, a
larger group, according to Davies.
"The point to being able to do this is to have
groups at different places at the same time to meet as
many people as possible. At the same'time it keeps
the orchetra's morale high because it allows them to
be seen as individual performers too," Davies said.
Davies joined the St. Paul group in a full-time
position after appearing last year as a guest
conductor.
"I was interested in a conducting position and
since we're the only group doing chamber music full
time we have a wide open field. It has a great body of
music that is untouched because the larger orchestras
don't play it," Davies said.

St. Paul Chamber Orchestra . . . performs
Davies said he plans to stay with the chamber
orchestra while continuing with the Ensemble, a
group he founded with Luciano Berio in New York
City.
The intimate nature of a smaller group gives it an
advantage, Davies feels.
"Right now an extremely large orchestra has the
same problem as feeding a white elephant-it's
virtually impossible to support We have a close-knit
22-member group of very fine professional
musicians," Davies said.
"The musicians were all ready to have someone be
with them full-time. It's hard to have ten different
conductors during one season and maintain high
in places as varied as businesses and prisons.
quality with all those ideas thrown at a group,"
Davies said.
Helping shape the performance, Davies feels the
conductor blends the group into a cohesive unit.
"Each conductor emphasizes what he thinks is
important technically. He listens and guides so one
section doesn't overwhelm another, since each group
has only their part while the score is the road map for
the whole piece," Davies said.
The orchestra will finish its residence Thursday
' with lecture performances, coaching and a final
concert Thursday night at 8 p.m. in Kimball Recital
Hall.
