The group, nicknamed "Screamers," to composed of 14
singers, 3 band members, and two technicians. The
Nebraska Alumni Association sponsors the choir.
UNL students can hear a free performance at the
Union Plaza Mall before the Cornhuskers Homecoming
game Oct. 6.
The National Choral Directors Association Conven
tion in Salt Lake City, Utah is among other tentative
performances. Scarlet and Cream was one of two colle
giate show choirs picked to perform from numerous
audition tapes sent to the association from universities
throughout the United States, said group member and
alumni representative Jon Kahle. The group will take a
spring tour of western Nebraska, but this summer, nine
members toured farther from home to Greenland
and Newfoundland with the USO.

Am,
Two months in my new luxury
apartment Compared to previous
digs, "luxury" means there is a
door on the freezer, most of the
light switches work and less than
25 percent of the other tenants
are on a time-share plan at the
Regional Center. Pretty swanky.
MOneeightyfive-a-month plus
'electric and cooking gas." No
problem. The stove's gas was on
the first few weeks so I bought
some bacon. The next day a man
came and shut off the gas. A
friend and I joked about using my
electric iron to "iron the bacon."

rhat was four weeks ao. Since
then, IVe been "ironing the bacon"
as well as the toast, ep and fro
zen pizza3. I'm not laughing any
more. It works surprisingly well,
though a bit slow, but using ?n
Inverted iron for a hot plate loses
it's quaint charm rather quickly
when you know you won't hzve
gas deposit money for another
three weeks. Patience, patience.

"Ironing the bacon falls into,
that category of things that "well
look back on in twenty years and
laugh about. "Two decades seems
like a long wait for solace, and an
unguaranteed one at that. It's
patience based on a promise.
Gas companies don't operate
on promises, but people are sup
posed to. After breaking up with
an eight-year companion a few
years ago, my brother dutifully
tried to console me with "time
heals all wounds." Another pa
tience based on a promise. I prefer
to side with David Byrne of the
Talking Heads, "patience is a vir
tue, but I don't have the time."
Promising and falling for prom
ises is somewhat of a lost art. In
times gone by, the saying was "a
man is only as good as his word."
A hand shake was as good as a
contract. Nov, even married
couples are writing marriage con
tracts. Obviously the rules of
. premising (and the patience that
usually accompanies it) have
changed with the times. In case
you haven't gotten the word, here
are a few things you should re
member. 1) Use promises as a delaying
tactic. After a missed deadline or
appointment, a seemingly more
sincere commitment like a prom
ise buys time. Try something like
"It won't happen again, I prom
ise." Some overly-patient
people will even fall for this twice.
2) Use promises to gain some
one's faith and trust. If a person
seems the least bit dubious about
a certain arrangement or task,
reassure them with a promise.
People like to be reassured, even
if it's only temporary or phony.
This will first teach them patience,
and later, mistrust, which is much
safer in the long run. Promises in
this category include jobs, happ
iness, heaven and their share of
the tab.
3) Use promises occasionally
when there is nothing at stake.
For instance, if you had already
planned to be someplace at a cer
tain time, and someone asks you
to meet them there, promise them
that you "will do your darnedest
to be there." This will maintain
the trust for more deceitful types
of promises in the future. Eanem
ber, a little bit of truth in a pack
full of lies can prove to be quite
productive.
No doubt you will come up with
some cf your o promising tech
niques. All of them will aid ethers
in learning patience. But be pa
tient, yourssil Theyll be u
the same tricks on vou.
