A new University of Nebraska-Lincoln ombudsman is being sought The former ombudsman, James Suter, has taken a leave of absence from the . University, according to ASUN Vice-President Dave Howlett. In accordance with CSL (Council of Student Life) guidelines the new ombudsman chosen will be given an initial appointment of one year, to be renewable for two additional years. Howlett noted that the Com ic oner opens A modern adaptation by Boris Goldovsky of Rossini's opera, "The Turk In Italy", will be staged July 30, Aug, 1 and 3 at 8 p.m. and Aug. 4 at 3 p.m. in Kimball Recital Hall. .

Box office hours are 8 a.m.-12 noon and 15 p.m. weekdays. "The Turk", which was composed just two years before the "Barber of Seville", contains , many of the same types ' of melodies and ensembles. The opera tells the story of Fiorilla, a young woman married to a considerably older man, who is looking for amorous diversion.- - Sultan Srlim olTurkey 'arav3"iiEhe shores of Naples and Fiorilla finds him exactly rightand most willing to be that diver sion. However, the husband, Geronio, and another man named Narciso, who is also in love with her, frown on her flirtation. The trouble is com pounded by the gypsy Zaida, who is revealed to be an old flame of the Turk. The height of confusion is reached at a masked ball when Fiorilla and Zaida are dressed alike, while Geronio and Narciso appear as Turks (as does Selim.) Most of the characters in the opera are actually puppets who have come to life under the hand of a poet who is looking for a plot for his puppet show, lie hopes to find that plot by watching the actions of these real-life characters. He even lends his hand occasionally to add a new twist to the story. HoweyerJ he finale is not as he hadexpected.'. His' characters outwit him with a surprise ending. Roger L. Stephens, assistant professor of voice at the University and director of the production, said that children may be particularly interested in the puppet aspect of the opera. The cast members and their roles are: Bill Fankhauser, Sidney, The Turk (Selim); Sara Ganz, Gibbon, Fiorilla; Vaughn Fritts, Lincoln (5234 Colfax Ave.), Geronio; Gary Lamb, Lincoln (1633 Westmont Circle), Narciso; Denice Weekes, Lincoln (521 Brookside Dr.),, Zaida; and John Brandstetter, Lincoln (4833 Colfax), the poet.

Costumes are from Brooks-Van Horn of New York. position is open to any faculty member with tenure. A salary will be paid him comrnesurate with his salary as a professor. He or she will retain hisher academic rank within his department "CSL recommended that a faculty member with tenure be chosen," Howlet said, "because with the protection of tenure the ombudsman wouldn't be afraid to follow through on student complaints." ' The ombudsman office' exists as a liason between students and faculty and the administration. Student and other complaints are investigated through this office. It is funded partly through student fees, and partly through the 711 teaching budget and the 714 administrative staff monies fund. In 1973-74, 1,137 persons issued complaints that were investigated through the ombudsman's office. Those interested in the ombudsman position must submit applications and letters of recommendation by noon on August 7, to - the Ombudsman Search Committee, 308 Administration Building, City Campus.
