Music school's
Cosi Fan Tutti
is happy opera
The UNL School of Music's winter-spring theatre
offering, Mozart's opera Cosi Fan Tutti, will open
Jan. 29, at Kimball Recital Hall under the direction
of Roger Stephens (pictured) and Richard Grace.
The story involves two young officers and the
ladies they intend to marry. To test the love of their
mistresses, the men disguise themselves and persuade
the women to marry them. The result is happy, but it
is decided that women are fickle.
Monday's Daily Nebraskan will include the
complete story.

If you are interested in film, pick up a copy of the
English Dept. course description booklet and see what it
says about the seven sections now offered. Better yet, get
acquainted with June Levine. She has been instrumental
in establishing the university's current film classes.
The history of film classes on campus is short. The first
open course in film was offered in 1970, according to
Levine. The course was organized in response to a request
by a number of students in Farm House Fraternity. The
large enrollment in the unadvertised course indicated what
she called the extensive interest in film.
. . Levine was chosen to teach the class because, she said,
she "had the interest." The course was later incorporated
into the regular curriculum of the English Dept.
Three courses now offered
Three courses in film now are being offered at UNL.
"Film As Art" is a course offering a generic approach to
film. It includes the teaching of film techniques. "Litera
ture and Film" is a course designed to study the develop
ment of a story from script to film.
..... Levine's own course, ''Film-The Documentary, offers
a chronological and analytical study of film documentary.

She also instructs a freshman seminar on film viewing.
"I teach according to the need, and by this I mean the
student demand, and according to my own interest, I feel
we should offer as many different courses as we are
competent to do in order to allow the student as wide a
diversity as possible," Levine said.
J evine said she is able to classify her film students into
two categories. One category comprises a small group of
"die-hard fanatics." The other is comprised of a group of
students who, according to her, "simply enjoy movies and
will take a film course as part of a good liberal arts edu
cation." Approximately 175 students now are enrolled in
film classes.
Fflrrt specialists may be hired " i ."
Levine said the English Dept. is planning to hire a film
specialist next semester to teach courses in the history and
technique of film.
"We're busy interviewing people right now," she said.
Levine said the film specialist would offer a wide range
of classes on film and "will have a great deal of freedom in
designing his courses."
Levine said, her goal at UNL is to make a good film
minor.
"By 1976 or 1977, course offerings will be extensive
enough and accessible enough to warrant the submission
to the college of Arts and Sciences of a proposal for a
minor in film," Levine added that the minor would be
available to students with any major. She declined to
reveal more on the subject because site said the publicity
would be premature. 'The plans are still gelling," she said.
"Deserves its own department"
Levine said she hopes for what she termed a much
more ambitious program in film.
"Film is, in fact, a separate area of study and deserves
its own department," she said. I'd like to see a film major
with adequate equipment for film making and an
adequate curriculum for film study. -
"In the meantime," she continued, "using the re
sources of the prospective Film Co-op, the art depart
ment's expanding interest and the School of Journalism's
cooperation, we should have the makings of a film
minor."
Levine termed the Sheldon Film Theater "vital." Many
of her students use the theater to view required films for
class, she said. She called the theater "one of the most
important educational tools available on campus."
