Greek hazing,
student loans
top CSL meet
by Jane Owens
"UN'L students can help prevent cuts in
f'nancia' did pcofjiams by contacting their
st.ite senators about current legislative bills,"
J.ic'' H.'.ch o, director of the Scholarships
,nd Financial A,ds Office said Thursday.
Addressing the Council on Student Life
i'CSL'i. Ritchie said t.vo legislative bills
currently under consideration in the
Uni;;inv.'ial could affect the status of UNL's
'.'Vincijl aid piogram.
LB396 would encourage state investment
officrs to re-invest funds in federally
insured loan programs. A second bill,
LB472, would establish a Commission of
Post-Secondary Aid.
R.'tclre aid he anticipates a small
decrease in UNL fall enrollment due to
cnanges in fedeially funded financial aid
pi ograms.
'e inigiic even have a large decrease in
enrollment if students have to wait too long
tor confirmation of financial aid."
Students should receive letters of
confirmation in late summer, he said.
During the current school year, Ritchie
said, his office has had roughly S3.5 million
in total available funds. "We have no
knowledge of what's going to happen next
year," he said. "If Nixon's proposal (for
changes in financial aids programs) works
out, we'll have very little control over how
much aid goes to individual students."
In other business, the Council heard a
report on methods used by the
Interfraternity Council ( I FC) to discourage
pledge hazing activities.
CSL was asked by Daily Nebraskan editor
Tom Lansworth to investigate possible
hazinq activities. Lansworth said he received
some complaints about such activities in
response to an editorial on the subject,
which appeared in the Daily Nebraskan
Friday, Feb. 23.
"I FC has a pretty good awareness of the
(pledge hazinq) situation," CSL member
Terry Braye said. Braye met with IFC
officers on the subject.
"I don't feel we can make a judgment (on
pledqe hazing activities) this year because
IFC has a new group of officers and they
seem willina to try to improve the
situation," he added.
IFC judicial process for investigating
hazing complaints "seems totally fair," he
said. Possible disciplinary action for hazing
include fines and a suspension of house
pledging privileges.
IFC also plans to conduct an educational
program to inform pledges of their rights,
Braye said.
CSL voted to take no formal action on
the matter. The body plans to study next
fall I FC's handling of pledge hazing activities
after the officers have served longer terms.
CSL Chairman Don Shaneyfelt reported
that representatives met with Chancellor
James Zumberge this week to discuss the
Council's proposal to permit transferable
UNL athletic tickets. The proposal was
passed by CSL in January.
After discussion with the Chancellor and
members of the Athletic Department, the
proposal was changed from "a blanket
transfer (of tickets) system to a modified
transfer system," Shaneyfelt said.
The modified proposal would allow
tickets to be transferred for a specified
number of games. The name of the
temporary ticket user also would be stamped
on th" ticket.
The proposal next will be sent to the
Board of Regents.
Strange Bedfellows
The Lincoln Community Playhouse productions usually have
some redeeming points which a reviewer can look to with a
praising eye. However, with the current production, Strange
Bedfellows, this isn't true.
Set in the 1890s, the play is a comedy about women trying
to gain the right to vote.
The actors bumble about the stage as if it was the first time
they had ever seen the lines of the play. Their
characterizations are dead. There is no interplay between the
actors. They lack rhythm in their spoken lines.
From beqinning to end Strange Bedfellows was the most
serious comedy I have ever sat through. Every comic line was
either under or overplayed.
How much fault lies with director John Wilson is debatable.
I only hope that in the next production the Playhouse does,
Wilson will cast people who are interested and dedicated
towai ds the theatre.
Last Friday's Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Portraits in Jazz XV
featurinq guest artist Dominic Spera and the UNL Lab Band
was one of the finest in recent years.
The Lab Band was a much closer knit and professional
group than they had been in previous concerts.
Walt Warnholtz captured the audience with a moody,
beautiful saxophone solo which highlighted "Morning Song."
"Chicago Dance No. 1," written by UNL Music professor
Robert Beadell.
The Lab Band exploded on opening with a rudimentary
progression of hand-clapping and isolated beats, the band
moved into a sophisticated, driving interpretation of the piece.
Trumpeter Spera joined the band for the second half of the
show. Spera's relationship with the Lab Band was possibly the

best of any guest artist in the last few years. Opening with
"Honesty", Spera excited both the audience and the band. He
then moved on to a tribute to the late jazz trumpeter Clifford
Brown with "I Remember Clifford."
The Lab Band has grown and matuied in the last year and
it's time that the UNL community recognized their artistic
qualities and talent.
