Alums get in free for year
By Laure Perlinger
Recent UNL graduates may be gone
from Lincoln, but the Nebraska Alumni
Association is making sure they are not for
gotten. Jack Miller, executive vice president of
the association for the past nine years, said
Tuesday that students who receive their
undergraduate degrees from UNL are
eligible for a one-year free membership.
Although football tickets are not part of
the package, Miller said new members can
participate in university-sponsored tours,
attend college programs and the associa
tion's meetings.
A one-year subscription to Nebraska
Alumnus is provided free.
Nebraska Alumnus is published five
times a year and includes university news,
history and photographs. A section at the
end of each publication contains news of
deaths, weddings and promotions of
alumni.
The second and third years following
graduation, the alumnus pays half of the
usual $16 membership fee.
Miller said between 22 percent and 29
percent of graduates respond to the
membership from the first to second year.
Comparing UNL to other universities,
Miller said the percentage of recent gradu
ates who become active is high.
Four years after graduation, the alum
must pay the regular $16 fee to maintain
membership.
UNL's, Alumni Association has about
25,000 members. Miller said the members
reside in all 50 states and about 35 or 40
foreign countries.
Alumni meetings take place across the
nation, from Boston to San Francisco.
According to one Nebraska Alumnus,
"Recent Alaskan-Neb raskan get-togethers
have centered around televised Nebraska
football games. Thirty-five alumni gathered
to watch a tape-delay telecast of the NU
Oklahoma game."
"The Alumni Association is an organiza
tion providing service both to UNL's
alumni and back to the university," Miller
said.
An editorial in the first Nebraska
Alumnus edition of the University Journal
in 1913 read "To give life to the spirit of
loyalty and to keep the thousands of Ne
braska alumni in touch with the university
and each other is the one main mission of
the Nebraska Alumnus ..."
The organization also sponsors the
Scarlet and Cream Singers, the Student
Alumni Association, class reunions, foreign
and domestic tours, a merchandising pro
gram including Big Red items and a group
life insurance program. Additionally, the
group helps with Master's Week and home
coming. The Alumni Association office is
located in the Anderson Building until its
new construction is completed at 1520 R
St., the same area where it previously was
located.
Miller said ground-breaking ceremonies
are set for March, with construction
expected to be completed by June, 1983.
Mueller planetarium

The Mueller Planetarium and Health
Galleries in the UNL state museum are
are returning to their regular fall and

"Starbound," a multi-media planetar
ium special by Jack Horkheimer, will be

Transparent Women" will be shown at
3:15 p.m. Saturdays, Sundays and
