Repertory Theater presents Chapter Two
The Nebraska Repertory Theatre is presenting as part
of its summer season Neil Simon's Chapter Two the
story of love the second time around between a widower
and a divorcee.

ball Hall.
The play will rotate with two other Repertory Thea
tre summer productions I DO! I DO!, Tom Jones and
Harvey Schmidt's musical about marriage and KNOCK
KNOCK, Jules Feiffer's free-wheeling comedy.
In Chapter Two, the divorcee, Jennie Malone, is
played by Carolyn Rutherford.
Ilutherford, a native of Kansas City, is an actress in
ar;d manager of the Nebraska Theatre Caravan. The Ne
braska Theatre Caravan, a professional wing of the
Omaha Playhouse, brings in artists for the Artists-in-Sehools
program and tours professional shows mainly in
the Midwest.
Before joining the caravan in 1976 Rutherford toured
two years with the company "Wits End," formed by
Dick Van Dyke and Phil Erickson. She also worked
under the direction of Charles Jones at the State Theatre
of Georgia and the Martinique Dinner Theatre. Between
receiving her bachelor of Arts degree from Mercer Uni
versity in Macon, Georgia and her Master of Arts degree
from the Universtiy of Alabama, Rutherford was a free

Rutherford said she commutes daily working for the
Nebraska Theatre Caravan in Omaha and rehearsing
Chapter Two daily in Lincoln.
"I felt compelled to try out for the part" said Ruther
ford, "Jennie is 32 years old; I'm 31. Jennie was married
five years before divorcing and I was married five years
before I was separated."
Her own background helps her understand the part of
Jennie Malone, she said.

Alsup and Chris Kliesen.
The play is directed by Tice Miller, a UNL theatre de
partment professor.

Alumni Association
planning new center
BY JEFF GOODWIN
If all fcoes according to schedule, work will start next
March on the proposed Wick Alumni Cente. according
to Jack Miller, executive vice president of the Nebraska
Alumni Association.
Miller said the center would be located at 16th and R
streets, until recently the site f the Alumni Association.
While the old huilding is being torn dow n and the new
one built, the Alumni Association will have its temporary
headquarters on the Ninth floor of the Anderson Build
ing. Miller said the new center would be larger than the
old one.
"It will be about 23,000 to 26,000 gross square feet,
compared with 11,000 to 12,000 feet for the old one," he
said.
Miller said the association had looked for a temixrary
location on campus but had not been able to find one.
'in order to stay on campus, we would ftav ? had to be
at more than one location," he said.
Miller sa;d that the Alumni Association hopes to be
able to move into the new building by the spring of 1983.
But he added that there were a lot of factors involved.
"It depends a peat deal on things like the weather,
labor and materials. If we have another mild winter like
the last one, it could be completed sooner than we ex
isted," Miller said.
The new center will be paid for by money raised from
alumni. One of the largest contributions came from the
man for whom it is named, Milton I. Wick, who contrib
uted $500,000 in 1978 on the condition that it be
matched.
The 1979-80 report of the Alumni Association said the
cost would be about $2 million, but Miller said that was
only an estimate.
"We're still working on it (the cost)," he said.
Miller said the new center would allow for more activi
ties to be held in the center.
"We'll be able to conduct large meetings, have class re
unions and have student groups meet there to a much
greater degree than we could in the past," he said.
He also said it would enable the Alumni Association
to have a permanent home, its first ever. In the 108 years
of its existence, the association has had eight different
locations.
The association has been in its present location since
1975. Before that, they were located at Regents Hall for
two years. The longest they have been in one place was
from 1938 to 1973 at the Student Union.
Miller said the entire university would benefit from
the new center.
"This is sort of a gift from the alumni to the univer
sity," he said.
