The UNL band received a birthday surprise just a week
after their 100th birthday celebration. Thanks to an
alumni donor, the band will be getting long-awaited new
uniforms.
Last Saturday Director of Bands Jack Snider received a
'phone call about -9 a.m. informing him that the NU
Foundation had found a donor to pay for new band uni
forms. He was instructed not to tell, anyone until later in
the morning. ; 4 : f
"It was an emoitonal shock to hear all of a sudden that
we had new uniforms, and it was a long time to keep
something like that to yourself," Snider said.
Snider met the donors, Capt. and Mrs. Henry Pascale of
Seabright, N.J., later in the morning. Pascale is a 1916
' graduate of NU, was a member of Innocents Society and
lettered in wrestling.
The Pascales have frequently donated to university pro
jects, but always anonymously, according to Ed Hirsch,
NU Foundation vice president. The Foundation has an
active donation solicitation program, Hirsch said, and the
Pascales were contacted about the need for band uniforms
because of their expressed interest in the UNL football
and band programs
Pascale agreed to pay for new uniforms at an estimated
cost of $75,000.

New physics class
No test tubes, no chemicals and no long mathematical
equations. ,
This is what a new two-semester physics course for
non-science majors will be like, Eugene Rudd, an NU
physics professor said.
Liberal Arts Physics 198, is a- three-credit lecture
course that will study science as part of the intellectual
and artistic development of man, said Rudd, who will
teach the course's only experimental section.
"We need more courses of this type," he said explain-;
ing the historical aspect of physics is not brought out in
other physics courses.
Liberal Arts Physics has no prerequisites and requires a
high schooilgcbfa math background, Rudd said. This
Building, Snider brought the Pascales in and told the band
he had an announcement to make. Saying he'd better "say
it before I faint," he gave the good news. The band's re
sponse was a 10-minute ovation for the couple.
"Naturally, the kids are overwhelmed," Snider said.
"They enjoyed seeing who the donors were, because they
.seemed so genuine. And he and his wife were overwhelm
cd with the response from the kids."
f "They (the band) were tickled to death," said Hirsch,
who was also present for the announcement. "I couldn't
believe their response myself. Afterwards, with tears in
their eyes, they (the Pascales) told me it was the finest
thing tjiat had ever happened to them."
Snider and Robert Fought, band director, are visiting
a uniform company in Wichita, Kan., this weekend to
work with designers. AfteV presenting designs to univer
sity officials and band members, they hope to have a final
design in mind by the end of the week, Snider said.
They hope to have the uniforms ready by Jan. 1 in case
the football team is invited to the Orange Bowl, he said.
But, it will be pushing it to have them ready by them, he
added, and if the team goes to an earlier bowl game the
uniforms probably wouldn't be ready.
Among possibilities for uniform designs are a cape, a
more elaborate hat and "Nebraska" printed pn the front
instead of the back.
"That waypeople' would know who. we are when
, we're coming instead of going," Snider said.
stars no tubes
course counts toward a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences re
quirement and he said about half of his examination
questions will be essay.
Course discussion topics will include the laws of
gravitation and planetary motion, the kinetic theory of
gases and the nature of scientific method, he said.
The class will be taught for one semester on an experi
mental basis, and if it is a success, Rudd said, it will be
added to the course catalog next semester.
The idea for Liberal Arts Physics came from Rudd. The
physics department hasn't added any new general-interest
courses lately, and he said he thought a course like this
was a good idea.
! "Other universities teach more courses of this type,"
Rudd said.
