Walpurgisnacht Offers something
for everyon until morning hours
By Gail Smith
The second annual Winter Walpurgisnacht will offer
something for everyone, says Suzanne Brown, assistant
program director of the Nebraska Union.
The night of films and entertainment begins in the
Union at 8 p.m. Jan. 30 and continues through the early
morning until 4 a.m. Jan. 31.
According to old German legends, Brown said, Walpur
gisnacht was the eve of May Day when witches gathered
to celebrate their sabbath in the German Harz Mountains.
Brown said the Union Program Council (UPC), which
sponsors and plans UNL's Walpurgisnacht, has specified
four purposes for the event:
-To give the campus community a chance to become
acquainted with the Union building and programs.
To promote interest in Union programs and recruit
students to serve on the UPC's 14 program committees.
To offer students and faculty a showcase for their
talent.
-To bring students, faculty, staff and alumni together.
National entertainers
Brown said voluntary student and faculty participation
will be combined with national and regional entertainers
to provide what she called a variety of activities.
Although Walpurgisnacht officially begins at 8 p.m., a
dinner theatre is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. in the Harvest
Room. Brown said the American Parade Cabaret (former
ly the University Cabaret Theatre) will present music and
comedy based on American heritage. Tickets must be pur
chased in advance at the Union South Desk.
New York actor Jerry Rockwood will portray writer
Edgar Allan Poe in A Condition of Shadow. The one-man
show will be in the Ballroom at 9 :30 p jn.
The comedy team of Joey Edmonds and Tom Curley
will entertain in the Ballroom at 1 1 :30 pan. Brown said
Edmonds and Curley have appeared on national television
shows and at many colleges.
Music in the Centennial Room will include the Blue
grass Crusade at 8 p.m., folk duo John Walker and Pete
Blakeslee at 1 1 p jn. and the Bohemian Stationary March
ing Band (a polka band) at 12:30 ajn.
Basement discotheque
Brown, said a new Walpurgisnacht feature will be a
discotheque in the basement conference rooms from
10:30 pjn. until 2:30 ajn.
A variety of entertainers will perform in the South Crib
between 8 pjn. and 2 ajn. In the Main Lounge, the Uni
versity Dance Ensemble will perform at 8 pjn. followed
by the UNL folk dancers at 10:30.
