UNL plans riverboat chautauqua'
By Kathy McAuliffe
UNL's College of Arts and Sciences, the Division of
Continuing Studies and the Delta Queen Steamboat Co.
of Cincinnati are taking the traditional idea of the chau
tauqua to the river.
They are planning a "Return to the River" Steam
boat Chautauqua Program on the Mississippi and Ohio
Rivers from May 15-26.
The chautauqua, a popular event in the late 19th
and early 20th centuries, offered lectures, plays and con
certs to entertain and educate participants.
Other than taking place on the river rather than under
the traditional tent, this 1 1-day cruise is no exception to
the usual idea of the chautauqua.
Vacationing and learning are skillfully combined
whether one sees are hears Richard Henzel's lively im
personation of Mark Twain, dramatic performances by
students and faculty from the UNL English and theater
departments or lectures by noted scholars from uni
versities all over the country.
Featured appearances include Broadway singer-actress
Edie Adams, jazz music by the Gene Ramey Trio featur
ing Jay McShann; Howard Piatt, a stage actor best known
for his role as a policeman in Sanford and Son; UNL con
cert pianist Audun Ravnan; UNL concert violinist Robert
Emile; Mark Twain authority John Seelye from the Uni
versity of North Carolina, Roger Abrahams, University of
Texas, specializing in folklore, music and Afro-America;
UNL theater instructor Rex McGraw, with a lecture on
"Showboating on the Mississippi" and David Madden,
storyteller and author from Louisiana State University.
Poetry, literature, architecture, history and theater
workshops will be offered by a host of scholars during
the chautauqua. College credit for these workshops is
available.
In addition to these activities, the Delta Queen will
dock at Natchez and Vicksburg, Miss, and Paducah, Ky.
These one-day stops will offer a schedule of tours, plays,
lectures and concerts to passengers.
Depending on whether you travel deluxe or economy
class, passage fare for the trip ranges from $693 to $1,133
per person, plus an education fee of $300.
The fare covers the cost of a stateroom or cabin, pas
sage, meals and entertainment.
Of special interest to UNL students, as well as to
Nebraska residents, is a 12.5 percent discount on passage
prices offered by UNL. In addition, the education fee will
be reduced to $100 for UNL students and $150 for other
Nebraska residents.
For every 16 passages sold, one passenger will be se
lected in a drawing to travel free of charge.
Originally built in the 1920s for $350,000, the steam
boat was restored in 1948. Restoration has continued
since then in order to preserve the oak and mahogany
paneling, the stained glass windows and the brass fittings
of the steamboat.
