Notable graduates to return for Master's Week
Five prominent UNL graduates will return to campus
to participate in Master's Week Wednesday through
Saturday.
The masters are alumni Glenn Burton, agronomist;
Kathryn A. Christensen, journalist; Fred J. Petersen,'
an authority on international education; Frank Tirro,
jazz music historian; and David Wiltse, screenwriter.
Throughout Master's Week, these alumni will attend
luncheons and dinners sponsored by various student
groups, lecture to UNL classes and visit with the faculty
and staff. They will conclude their visit by attending the
Nebraska-Oklahoma State football game as guests of
Chancellor Martin Massengale.
Burton, a 1932 UNL graduate, is a research leader and
technical adviser in the Agriculture Research Service,
Labor Day weekend
considered for rush
Many UNL women cannot participate in fall sorority
rush because of 4-H activities, flag corps and marching
band commitments. A plan tentatively scheduled for next
year would allow many of these women to go through
rush.
Instead of having rush week before school starts, the
new plan calls for it to take place during the Labor Day
weekend, said Kathy Roth, 1982 Pahhellenic overall rush
chairperson.
"It's a definite disadvantage to the girls who participate
in things like 4-H, flag corps and band," she said. "They
really don't get a feel for the house if they can only
manage to go to two or three."
One of the major changes from last year's restructured
rush include the open house tour system.
"The girls would have cards to be stamped by each
house," Roth said. "They can stay for five minutes or
three hours in each house, as long as they feel comfort
able." Jayne Wade Anderson, director of Greek affairs, said
plans for having fall rush over Labor Day have not been
finalized and would not be for another two or three
weeks.
"I think it's a really positive move," Roth said. "It's a
real workable situation."
She said that although many people go home during
the Labor Day weekend, women going through rush
would have to make a choice on whether to participate in
rush or visit home.
"I don't think they will feel the need to go home,"
Roth said.
The tentative rush schedule for the 1983-84 fall rush
goes as follows. Thursday and Friday, Sept. 1 and 2, open
house; Saturday, Sept. 3, eight parties, Sunday, Sept. 4,
five parties, Monday, Sept. 5, three final parties and
Tuesday, Sept. 6, pledging.
Men plan winter rush
Plans are being made by the Interfraternity Council
rush committee for a winter fraternity rush.
John Foley, spokesman for the rush committee, said
although the plans are tentative, the purpose of the
program is to fill the houses on both City and East cam
puses and bring memberships to' the maximum number.
He said close to 100 people have expressed interest in
the winter rush program.
Booths in both unions will dispense information to
interested students Nov. 16 through Nov. 18. At this
time, information forms may be obtained and any quest
ions answered, Foley said.
Winter rush orientation will include a meeting of
potential rushees on Nov. 21 in the Nebraska Union.
At the orientation meeting, potential rushees may sign
up for a tour of the houses. The tour, will be after Thanks
giving vacation.
For information or to sign up. for winter rush, stud
dents also may visist the IFC office in Nebraska Union

He has written more than 30 television movies, pilots and

Wives."
Master's Week began in 1963.
"It all started when UNL Chancellor Clifford Hardin
was invited back to his alma mater for a similar activity,"
said Bob Bruce, director of university information.
Master's Week gives the students and faculty an oppor
tunity to share some experiences of the iluhini who have
made a mark in their respective fields, Bruce said. It is also
a'good opportunity for the masters" to find out what is
really happening on campiis, he said.
"Master's Week is an event that is really put on by the
students," Bruce said.
It is set up by the Innocents Society and Mortar Board,
two senior honorary societies. The University Information
Office acts as a clearinghouse for the events, he said.
Master's Week is paid for by private funding through
the NU Foundation.
Neihardt fs 'creature comforts renovated
The sounds of hammer and saw are echoing through
the halls of Neihardt Residential Complex this semester
as some major renovations take place.
UNL Director of Housing Douglas Zatechka said
renovations will be made in most of the rooms in
the complex. The renovations include replacing or
refinishing furniture, paintings, and installing new
dressers, bookshelves aftid ceiling lights. The windows
in the complex also will be replaced.
The building itself is structurally sound, so the
goal of the renovation is to improve some of the
"creature comforts" like paint, lighting and radiator
controls, he said.
Safety is a.nother area of concern. Zatechka said
some work has been done on fire and light safety
measures in the complex and more will be done later
this year.
The total cost for the project will be about
$220,000, he said. The money comes from a surplus
fund collected from room and board fees charged" to
all residence hall residents.
He said some sort of renovation is going on all
the time and such work is not confined to any single
residence hall. Close to $1 million wilt be spent this
year on improving the fire and light safety systems in
all the halls, Zatechka said.
i
Between $300,000 to $375,000 of the surplus
fund is earmarked for major renovation in all the
halls, he said. The money is divided among the halls
on a priority basis, with the highest priority going to
buildings with structural problems.
"If the roof leaks, ybu've got to fix it," he said.
There are no plans for any renovations on the
scale of those in Neihardt in any of the other halls
in the near future, Zatechka said, because the other
halls are newer. Most of the work includes replacing
lounge furniture, carpets and drapes.
