the woman behind a successful man,
but not exactly. -
Rather than one being ahead and
the other behind, "with our
relationship it is a balancing
relationship," she said.
"He is the dominate personality of
the two. I am not an agressive person.
I am a homemaker. I enjoy it," said
Mrs. Zumberge, wife of UNL
CiwitiLmi ' JJ H ieS Zumuci ye.
As the UNL chancellor's wife, she
said. "! have never sought a distinct
identity."
Before coming to UNL as
chancellor, Zumberge was a professor
at the University of Michigan,
president of Grand Valley Stat
Colleges at Allendale, Mich., and the
dean of earth sciences at the

Mrs. James Zumberg9
University of Arizona (Tucson).
'.loving frorri one pacc to anoinf
has meant different homes and friends.
"In the final analysis, it is the
people" who make a certain place a
good home, she said. "I think Lincoln
is one of the nicest towns I have lived
in."
In her role as chancellor's wife, she
has not had speaking engagements
thrust at her, nor is she required to
participate in UNL women's groups.
But she does, she said.
She had just returned from an
annua! Tasters' Luncheon for wives of
Teacher's College professors. She
participates In faculty wives' affairs,
such as bridge groups and golf lessons.
"It is an interesting way to meet
people involved in the same
endeavor-improving education as my
husband," Mrs. Zumberbe said
Her name has not made her a
Lincoln celebrity, she said.
There is "no doubt about it that
peopJs recognize my name," she said,
but added,"! can't say I get any better
service anywhere, nor do ! expect it."
She said the demands on her since
her husband became chancellor are no
different than they were in the years
before moving to Lincoln.
Then she had four children
occupying her time. They are John,
26, JoEllc-n, 23, James, 21, and Mark,
19.
John is working for his Ph.D. in
chemistry at the University of
Arizona. JoEllen is working for a
degree in English at Arizona State.
James will graduate from the
University of Michigan this year and
plans to take a teaching fellowship at
rl T narir 15 """"""r
Universrty" of" Michigan. John and
James both plan to marry in May.
For one wedding gift he if making
a rug. One of her hobbies is
needlework. She had one of her rugs
hanging on the living room walL
About two-end a-half by four feet, it
looks like a small shag rug. She said it
was a Swedish "rya" knqt
Another of Mrs. Zumberge's
hobbies is reading.
"My real love is autobiographies,"
she said. Her favorite reading topic is
English history and her favor.te book
i Mary, Queen of Scots.
English history was one subject
required during her college days. She
got a degree in psychology, but
realized she could not get a job unless
she went on to school, she said.
She had two children growing up
then and "never considered graduate
school."
She said she did not need a job to
get her out of the house.
"Because the children are gone, I
go out a lot in the days," Mrs.
Zumberge said. "I like to stay home at
night."
- Because her husband is gone two or
three times a week, "when we get an
evening at home, we treasure it," she
said.
She also enjoys cooking, "but for
more than two people." she said.
It is a balanced situation-her
husband, an administrator, who invites
people to dinner and a woman who
enjoys cooking for them.
