Cornstock
concert
to feature
five bands
Five rock groups, including Straight, will be featured at the fifth
annual Cornstock, an outdoor concert on UNL's East Campus
April 25.
The concert, known as Cornstock V, will be on the mall
between H.C. Philley and Agricultural Halls and will start at 12:30
p.m.
In addition to Straight, the concert will feature Timberline, a
Kearney band; Steele Avenue, a Lincoln group and the Flippers
and Festival, both from Lawrence, Kansas.
Straight, whose members are from Lincoln, is now managed out
of Los Angeles. The group has a regional hit single, Save Your
Breath, which is on the top ten rating list of several local radio
stations.
Sandi Conrad, chairman of the East Campus Dances and
Concerts Committee, said the concert will help attract good
publicity for these regional groups.
She said the idea for the afternoon concerts was a take-off on
the Woodstock concerts. Last Year's Cornstock was highlighted by
B.W. Stevenson, which Conrad said was a "great success".
The concei t is sponsored by the East Union Program Council.
Alternate lifestyles discussed
at Tuesday's Women Speak
Alternative lifestyles for women were
examined at Tuesday's WomenSpeak meeting. A
panel of six Lincoln area women told an
audience of 45 people about their living
situations, which range from traditional family
life to communal living.
Suzanne Brown has been married twice and is
a working mother. She claims to be more
"success-oriented" than her husband. Brown said
traditional roles are not present in her marriage.
She and her husband share their household
chores, not by agreement but because of
convenience. Brown said she was happy with her
situation and would not like to see marriage die.
She said fewer persons will get married in the
future and they will wed at an older age.
While Suzanne Brown is happy with the
institution of marriage, Lanelle Fredrickson is
not. Frederickson is in the process of getting a
divorce. She is from a conservative family and a
small town. Fredrickson was married at 18 and
lives with her 6 year old daughter. Her daughter
comes first in her life, she said.
College degree
Fredrickson told the group that the biggest
change in her life has been the way she deals with
her daughter. Her main goal is getting her college
degree.
For Vivian Bowman and Betty Levitov, whose
families share a home, being close to people is
important. "Our life style is planned," Bowman
said.
Bowman and her husband served in the Peace
Corps in Africa. She said she "fell into" a job at
the university and she and her husband moved
into an apartment.
She said the Levitov family also spent time in
Africa and also had a hard time adjusting to not
having people around. The Bowmans and the
Levitovs decided to share a house.
Levitov said the children receive a great
benefit from the two families living under one
roof. They have four adults for examples, she
said. The arrangement aiso gives the mothers
more free time, Levitov said, although she and
Bowman "don't use each other as babysitters."
Cooking shared
She .said that even though the children are as
close as brothers and sisters they still know who
their parents are. Discipline is left to the child's
parents and is not a group project, she said.
The cooking in the household is shared by the
two womeh. Levitov said that their husbands
cook on occasion, but not regularly.
Levitov said problems are solved when they
come up. She stressed that the relationship is
based on honesty.
Shelia Collins and her daughter Corrine get
much the same satisfaction out of living in a
communal situation with nine other people.
Shelia Collins came from Detroit with her
three children two and a half years ago. They
came to Lincoln "to stop living in the war zone."
Collins said the family felt isolated in Nebraska
because they do not have relatives here.
Collins resolved this loneliness by moving into
a house with a group of people. Her husband
lives in another house near by.
They spend about half their time in each
house. Collins said her husband gradually is
becoming more involved in the commune.
Eleven people representing four families live
with Collins. Everyone contributes money to the
food fund and has scheduled work.
Corrine said she likes her two-house situation
and that she has a room in both houses. Her
teachers, she said, have been slower to accept the
idea than her friends. Corrine said friends like to
come visit her. She said lack of privacy was a
disadvantage to the children because they do not
have their own rooms.
