Private money keeps the
University of Nebraska State
Museum active.
Donations through the
University Foundation, Friends
of the Museum and visitors are
essential for the maintenance
and expansion of the museum,
according to C. Bertrand
Schultz, former museum
director. "Without these gifts,
there would he no museum,"
he said.
The University allocates
money for the museum, but
Schultz calls it a "meek
budget."
During the 1972-73 fiscal
year, the museum received
$109,951 according to Jim
Maynard, coordinator of
budget and economic study.
Schultz said the museum needs
more than $300,000 to
function adequately.
Schultz was unable to give
an accurate figure for total
donations. He said the museum
received between $35,000 and
$40,000 in cash during the past
year, and numerous donations
of specimens and collections
with most having no estimated
value assigned to them.

University band adds
ensemble, concert band
The band curriculum at the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
is expanding with the addition
of two new organizations.
According to band director
Jack Snider, a University Wind
Ensemble comprised of 44
select wind and percussion
players, will be added and the
"Ladies Band" will be
reorganized as the University
Concert Band with complete
instrumentation.
The band program at the
University has traditionally
included the Cornhusker
Marching Band, the Symphonic
Band and the Collegiate Band.
Any student wishing to
participate in the University
band program will be required
to play an audition for
placement in the bands.
Arrangements for the auditions
may be made at the player's
convenience, but a general
hearing time will be held Aug.
20-22 from 9 a.m. to noon and
from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at
Westbrook Music Building.
Placement in the bands will be

specimens in the museum
collection, fewer than m per
cent are on exhibit at any one
time. The others are stored in
Nebraska Hall.
According to Schultz, it is
unusual for a university
museum to have exhibits. Most
university museums are used as
research facilities, he said, but
the NU museum tries to have
materials for both the laymen
and scientist.
Faculty, graduate students,
museum staff and scientists use
the biological and
anthropological collections for
research projects, he
said. The museum, located in
Morrill Hall, also houses
Mueller planetarium which was
given $9,468 by the University
this year. It brings in another
$10,000 in admission charges,
Schultz said, and is
self-supporting.
Gift shop .
The gift shop at the
museum entrance is responsible
for its own finances and also
must pay for the audio tour
sound system at an annual rate
of $6,000.
The gift shop charges for
the phones that hook into the
system to explain various
exhibits and also sells museum
related articles.
made at the audition or
announced by 5 p.m. Aug. 22.
If players are interested in
the Cornhusker Marching Band,
adjustments in schedules
should be made for early
rehearsals.
Because the University of
Nebraska begins"" its football
season at home with the
nationally televised contest
with UCLA on Sept. 8, the
Marching Band will begin
rehearsals Aug. 22 at 7 p.m.
Beginning Nov. 26, all
players in the Marching Band
and the Concert Band will be
combined into the Symphonic
and Collegiate Bands. The
Wind Ensemble will function
throughout the semester and
will serve as the nucleus for the
Symphonic Band.
Musicians interested in
auditioning for one of the
University of Nebraska bands
should have a solo or study
prepared prior to the audition.
If the audition times are now
convenient, an appointment
may be made at the School of
Music.

presented by a troop of
harlequin-style actors, who
happen onto the sleeping Sly.
Miller now has opportunity to
present tumblers, dancers, and
musicians, all as part of his
central conception of the play.
This is a good idea and adds to
the gaeity of the evening.
A great deal more could be
done with the harlequin
company than is managed here.
One could wish, for example,
that fuller use could be made
of them as transitional devices
from scene to scene and from
action to action. To do this
actors would need to step in
and out of their central
dramatic roles as necessary.
When acting the assigned parts
in the spoken play, they could
conduct themselves
dramatically; when acting as
musicians and dancers, they
would need to take on a
different style of movement.
Some attempt
Some attempt is made at
this in the production; but to
be fully successful, endless
rehearsal, the most careful
attention to detail, and an
exactness of timing would be
required. Miller's company is
moving in this direction.
But actors in repetory do
not always have time to
develop their parts as they or
their director could wish. In
this production one is pleased
to see an original .conception of
Petruchio. Ordinarily this role
is played as a virile and rather
sophisticated man of the

Petruchio is; delightful,
believable, and ultimately
gentle.
David Bell plays Hoitensio,
one of Bianca's suitors, as an
affected fop, contrasting him
to Petruchio's straightforward
ness. He adds a dimension to
the part. Beneath the
foppishness, we perceive a

makes a good deal of his

Nancy Myers, the designer,
has imagination, and in this
show she did not attempt too
much for her resources or the
needs of her story. The lighting
by Jerry Lewis seemed entirely
professional, as usual. It did its
job effectively without calling
self-conscious attention to
itself. Altogether the new
production of "The Taming of
the Shrew" illuminates a
delightful play.
