Symphony
sold out,
scaloers
celebrate
Ah, dear friends, the irony 6f it all
really hits home hard this weekend.
Lincoln is graced with a visit from one of
America's premier orchestras, the St.
Louis Symphony, and they, like the
redoubtable Lynyrd Skynyrd badi of
Thursday night, are sold out. r
The difference is in the order of
magnitude of the two events. Pershing
Auditorium holds 7,000 persons, Kimball
Recital Hall strains to admit 1 ,000.
Quick sellout
Measure of the popularity of the St.
Louis Symphony's presentations is
evident because 90 per cent of the tickets
for the five performances were sold
within two days or so. Music lovers can
perhaps take solace in the possibility that
some seats will be unclaimed, or perhaps
ticket scalpers will be merciful.
Not attracting so much attention this
weekend but worthy of attendance
nevertheless is the University Theater
Department's, production of William
Hartley's Slow Dance on the Killing
Ground at the Studio Theater. Boasting
an award-winning set, the production is
likely to be a winner on the dramatics
end as well, since the Studio "Theater
productions have from time to time done
hot jtoin
the main theater shows one better.
Performances begin at 8 p.m.
Crew in town
The Nebraska crew will take on the
shellmen of Purdue Saturday afternoon at
Capitol Beach Lake, which provides an
excuse for the observation that there are
worse things to do on Saturday afternoon
than to go out and cheer for the team of
your choice. Apart from there being no
way to get a decent view of the
proceedings save to rent a snorkel truck
or sit on a friend's roof, this deal may
well be a lot of good, clean, honest fun,
heretofore reserved for inclusion in Walt
Disney movies.
Which, by some odd artifice, brings me
to a few of the new flicks in town. Best
bet: Lacumbe, Lucia t, at Hollywood and
Vine, an engrossing study of a young
French collaborator which our resident
films man deems a must. Most other
theaters are holding firm this weekend,
but the dependable Starview Drive In is
bringing back Clint Eastwood's unnerving
law-and-order pictures, Dirty Harry" and
Magnum Force. " Harry , Callahan grows
up and kills people, but learns from his
-errors, thereby making this pair a sort of
morality play. .
Food Day observed with films, booths, displays
UNL Thursday observed Food Day events in the
Nebraska Union Centennial Room.
Scheduled events included panel discussions,
filmstrips and slides along with numerous exhibits, all
concerning fjod. Booths, free samples and a display
of books on gardening and farming were also a part of
the arrangements.
UNL Food Day was sponsored by the Nebraska
University Public Interest Research Group.
Nebraska Bookstore and Dirt Cheap donated
books to be sold, with the proceeds to go to CROP,
an interdenominational world relief organization.
Support for Zero Population Growth was
displayed in a booth sponsored by Planned
Parenthood. Pamphlets on birth control methods,
which related how overpopulation was a factor in the
food crisis, were distributed.
Another organization explained the food stamp
program and its requirements.
The United Farmworkers Union urged support for
the boycott of nonunion head lettuce and California
table grapes and wines. They also explained the
history of the United Farmworkers.
A representative from the organization said that
the boycott had been successful nationally, but that
it was difficult to tell whether it had gone well in the
Lincoln area.
The Golden Carrot, a health food store located in
the Gateway Mall, distributed free samples of yogurt,
granola and peanut butter.
The Lancaster County Extension Service displayed
methods of food preservation through home freezing
and canning of fruits and vegetables, and the
University Agronomy Club, handed out guides on
fertilization, the environment and farm problems.
Movies and slides were shown by the food stamps
division of the Lincoln-Lancaster County Welfare
Office and the Open Door Health Center. Titles
included "Composting", "The Living Soil" and
"Look to the Land."
Other groups with Food Day exhibits were
Nebraskans for - Peace and the Citizens for
Environmental Improvement.
