When the school year rolls around,
take a look at all the special events,
programs, and happenings at UNL.
There are dances, films, speakers, and
art exhibits; concerts, talent shows,
comedians, and mini-courses. All are
great to take advantage of and enjoy,
but who puts it all together? Students!
Any student can help plan events and
programs by joining the University Pro
gram Council, (UPC).
Three subcouncils make up UPC:
(UPC-East, UPC-City,) and (Uni
versity Program-American Mi
nority Council.) Each of the councils
is geared toward the interests of dif
ferent groups of students, but any stu
dent is welcome to join any committee.
Committees meet weekly and beyond
that the amount of involvement is up to
the individual, said Sara Boatman,
director of Campus Activities and Pro
grams. UPC-City, located in Room 237 of the
Nebraska Union, has 12 committees.
American Films and Foreign Films
show classic and contemporary films to
students at low prices. The Arts Com
mittee brings different kinds of art to
UNL, while Concerts and Coffeehouses
brings bands, comedians, and other
local and national talent to perform in
concert. Talks and Topics works on
bringing local and national speakers to
campus; the Video Committee provides
concerts and programs on video.
The American Minority Council, lo
cated in room 236 in the Nebraska.
Union, provides activities for and about
different cultures represented at UNL.
Black Special Events, Chicano Special
Events, Native American Special Events,
and the Asian American Committee all
provide programs and entertainment
focusing on the heritage, customs, and
culture of the groups. Black Special
Events also organizes Black History
Month. Black Entertainment and Native
Entertainment both coordinate dan
ces, programs, and other events. All the
groups promote awareness among UNL
students about the different cultures
of ethnic groups at UNL.
UPC-East, located in the Student
Activities Suite of the East Union, has
five committees. The Dances and Corn
stock Committee organizes Cornstock,
an outdoor concert and dance, and
puts together several other dances
with rock or country music bands
throughout the year. Kaleidoscope pro
vides opportunities for solo artists and
groups to perform on East Campus and
organizes a variety of experimental
programs, while Sights and Sounds
brings speakers, movies and videos for
students' enjoyment. Visual Arts coor
dinates an arts and crafts fair, an art
lending library, brings in artists, and
provides art exhibits.
The Kimball-Lied Performing Arts
Committee, also part of UPC, promotes
the performing arts at UNL. Students in
the committee can help promote indi
vidual series programs at Kimball and
may also get involved with production.
Boatman said that in the future the
committee hopes to promote events at
the Lied Center in the same way it has
for Kimball Hall.
Boatman said there are three ways to
join UPC. One is to go to the UPC dis
play on Freshmen Friday, Aug. 21, in
the Bob Devaney Sports Center. Another
way is to go to the UPC booth at the
activities festivals on both campuses in
October. Information on joining will be
available, and questions on individual
committees can be answered. If a stu
dent knows which committee he or she
wants tojoin, Boatman said to read the
Daily Nebraskan's Announcements col
umn for meeting times and locations.
Wendy Whalen, president of UPC
City, said meeting people, getting in
volved at UNL and having a good time
are the main reasons tojoin UPC. Any
student, whether a freshman or a senior,
can find a niche in one of the many
diverse groups, she said.
