Marching band increased
adequate seating a problem
8y Lorraint Hughes
Fans at Memorial Stadium will see and
hear a new dimension of UNL's marching
band Saturday, according to ' Robert
Fought, new UNL bancT director.
A 20-girl flag corps will add an "exciting "
visual element to the band," Fought said.
Twenty new band members will increase
the volume.
Fought said he thought last year's band
did not produce enough sound to fill the
stadium. Nebraska previously had one of
the smallest bands in the Big 8, he added.
Although enthusiastic about the en
largement of the band. Fought said "it is
not an attempt to say bigger is better."
. .One problem with adding members to
the band is stating them when they are not
performing.
The athletic dept. which allots $16,000
in funds for the band, supplies 12 rows of
ssats, according to Bob Devaney, athletic
director. .
"Right now the band needs seats and
money," Devaney said. "We don't have
either."
Band members, with instruments, re
quire more seating space than "the person
wearing a coat and maybe carrying a little
flask,' Fought said.
The band's budget will not be increased
"despite additional expsnese, Fought said,
because the Athletic Dept. lacks the funds.
'The Athletic Dept. hps had their toes
stepped on by what I think are some highly
questionable rulings by the NCAA,
Fought said. V
An NCAA ruling in Chicago three weeks
agoJimited the number of football players
allowed to suit up for home games to 60.
This means approximately 40 tickets must
be secured for football players to sit in the
stadium who previously , were on the
sideline. ' : "':'''''
Jack Snider, director of bands, said the
Athletic Dept. should not be solely re
sponsible for the band budget.
"We perform for the university proba
bly 100 times a year and the university ,
ought to share in the budget," he said.
The university has agreed that it should
support the band, but so far they have
given.no financial aid, Snider said.
