Committee pledges captivating acts at talent show
By Cydney Wilson
One of the climactic events of Greek Week - the Greek
Talent Show - will be presented in the Nebraska Union
tonight at 7:30 pjn. Dawn Penney, chairperson of the
talent show committee, said this year's show is a "step
up."
"The program is a professional-quality show built
around amateur acts, and is designed to keep the audi
ence motivated,' she said.
In the past, the master of ceremony's job was to be
humorous entertainment, while this year's "MC," Jeff
Maddoux, is simply there to see that the show runs
smoothly.
"He's more of a straight man this year," said Matt
Wallace, a committee member.
Show committee members and chairpcople of Greek
Week said many changes in the format have been imple
mented into Greek Week.
"People are excited about change, so the new approach
is positive," said Kris Saalfeld, Greek Week co-chairperson.
"We also want to create a better awareness of the
positiveness of being involved in the Greek system. This
year we have gone back to some traditional activites since
Greek Week is over a hundred years old, for example, the
Greek Sing is similar to the Ivy Day of many years past,
and the Greek Talent Show is similar to the Greek Follies
which were also held many years ago."
Stress participation
Co-chairperson Gregg McCormick said the group tried a
different approach with public relations.
"We wanted to encourage more interhouse participat
ion, not competition," McCormick said. "A sponsor (Coca
Cola Co.) has also been added for the first time."
Give the gift
of love.

Tliis year's 14-member committee chose 12 acts from
27 that auditioned. Acts include a comedian, tap dancers,
singers, duet and solo piano acts, jugglers and numerous
combination acts. The committee members think the
show offers more diversity than past shows.
The format of the show is new with a "host" band,
Shabazz, opening the show and providing musical breaks
throughout it. Shabazz features six members, who will be
entertaining with music of a variety of styles: fusion jazz,
Al Jarreau, Brecker Brothers, James Taylor and J.D.
Souther. They v.ill also provide music during the judges'
deliberation period.
"The flow of the show with the addition of the host
band is better," said Wallace, who is a band member.
Choosing the winners
Judges for this year are Larry Kubert, entertainment
writer for the Lincoln Journal and Star; Sandy Fisher,
active in the Lincoln Community Playhouse; Beth Hughes,
a former Miss South Dakota and active in other pageants,
and Jack Snider, director of UNL bands.
Criteria for the judges throughout the show are: audi
ence appeal, degree of difficulty, professionalism and
originality. Awards will be .selected for top All-Sorority
Act, top All-Fraternity Act, Best Combination Act and
Best Overall Act.
Committee member Mike Barnhill said the judges may
have a difficult task because there are "lots of good
combination acts this year."
"Overall it's going to be great," Barnhill said. "It's full
of entertainment with no chance for the audience to be
bored. There are less acts than in last year's show, but that
is because there is a lot more quality in this year's event."
Tickets for the Greek Week Talent Show will be on sale
in the Nebraska Union from 10 to 2 pjn. for $2, or they
can be purchased at the door for $2.50. Seating will be
limited.
