to finance its tour. The glee club no
longer receives university funds.
As director of the Varsity Men's Glee
Club, the Scarlet and Creun Singers
and the Wesley House church choir,
Ray Miller has brought the best cfUNL
to Nebraska and the nation for almost
20 years.
Miller, professor of music, came to
UNL in 1668 after teaching thr ee years
at a college in North Dakota, and three
years at a Colorado high school. That
same year he became the director of
the glee club and the Wesley House
choir.
Miller formed the Scarlet and Cream
Singers in 1971. He said the original
idea came from a UNL dumuus who
asked Miller to organize a singing
group to act as a goodwill ambassador
for the university.
Miller is also the director of the All-
Miller's groups have performed for
such people as former President Gerald
Ford and composer Meredith AYiLson.
The Scarlet and Cream Singers have
appeared at many Ccmhuskcr bowl
games and have toured overseas. In
1SS3 the group went to Japan for two
weeks and last summer it toured New
foundland and Greenland for the USO
for three weeks.
Miller said several of his students
have become professional performers.
Bob Buchholz is working in New York;
Ken Goodvnn performs professionally
in Dallas; and Carrie Solomon has per
formed with Norman Lubcff and Fred
Waring.
Miller said it has become more diffi
cult in the last few years to take the
glee club on tour. He said the univer
sity formerly provided the group with
an annual budget of as much as $1,800
Miller said he continued the annual
tour with help from the NU Foundation.
Eut with the rising costs cf lodging and
transportation, it's becoming increas
ingly hard to tour. Fortunately, this
hasn't affected the Scarlet and Cream
Singers which is financed entirely by
the alumni, Miller said.
When he was younger, Miller said, he
heped for a career as a professional
performer. But he said hs likes what
he's doing and has no regrets.
He said he enjoys all kids cf
He said he gets as much pleasure from
performing a progressive jazz piece or a
Broadway showtime as he gets from a
classical mass.
Miller's programs are designed to
appeal to a wide range cf ages and
tastes. Miller said he believes music
should be fun, and he tries to make
each cf his shows a fun time for the
audience and the performers. "

Steve Sheehan, lead singer for the band Dig
ital Sex, has released a four-song extended play
album.
, Digital Sex was formed in the fall of 1 082 and
has been playing together, in one form or
another, ever since. Two members of the band,
John Tingle and Dereck Iiiggins, help Sheehan
on this EP. -

In a telephone interview, Sheehan said that
he wanted to control all facets of the EP. That i3
why it was released as a Sheehan solo album
instead of a Digital Sex group effort. He wanted
to showcase the talents cf different artists and
fashion songs around those particular talents
Digital Sex broke up while Sheehan was
recording the album, but now is working "mainly
as a studio entity," Sheehan said. They currently
are producing an album that Sheehan thought
might be out by April.
As for Sheehan's EP, titled "Recovery," there
is constant interplay between a synthesizer and
Tingle's guitar, with some simple and steady
bass lines by Dereck Higgins complementing the
sound. Steve Warsocki, formerly of Lincoln
based The Click, also plays bass on two songs.
Sheehan has set a definite mood by mixing
tions to the vocals that David Byrne cf the Talk
ing Heads is known for. One can't help recogniz
ing the similarity between the EP and some
earlier, slower Talking Heads material.
Sheehan has set a definite mood by mixing
. some strange, non-musical synthesized sounds
with bare and sometimes apathetic lyrics
("Avenues and boulevardsleafless trees in a
rowYou can stay if you think you shouldbut
you'll never have the chance to know my soul").
Sheehan's EP can be bought at Pickles or Dirt
Cheap record stores. It can be ordered through
any record store that deals with Important
Records of Jamaica, New York or Rough Trade cf
San Francisco.
