Students Health and Accident Insurance
UNL has tried to find a medical plan to suit the needs of most of our
students, graduate or undergraduate. Mid West Student Insurance Com
pany and the University Health Center arc working together to provide
such a plan. The premium for student coverage is affordable, and works
in conjuncion with the Student health Center fees to provide the best
medical care available and as economical as possible.
The student is required to seek treatment at University Health Center
whenever possible. To effectively utilize this policy your Health Center
fees must be paid. In the event of an emergency, if you arc more than 50
miles from UHC, or when a referral has been obtained from a UHC
physician, there is a S75.00 deductible and MOST charges arc paid at
80%.
Dependent coverage is also available for an additional preminium.
The policy is designed to help off-set the cost of major medical care and
hospitalizations. It docs not cover routine physicals, denial visits or
prescriptions. Dependents must use community medical resources, and
the deductibles will apply.
QUARTELY COVERAGE AVAILABLE
November 24, 1990
RATES: Student Only $84.00

The clock began to strike 12
Cinderella broke away from the
handsome prince and ran out into
the night. The prince chased after
her, but couldn’t keep up He
reached the top of the stairs only in
time to see her carriage stealing
away. In agony, he slumped to the
ground.
Suddenly, the light caught some
thing shining on the stairs He
dashed to the glistening object.
It was the princess’ shoe. In her
hurry she must have lost it With a
renewed spirit, the prince swore he
would marry the woman whose
foot fit into the white canvas Keds
White canvas Keds? What hap
pened to the glass slipper? And
now magical would Cinderella be
without the pumpkin? Would the
same effect be acnievcd i( the car
riage were transformed from a to
mato? Both are fruits aren’t they?
Or what if there were no stairs’
Where else would a modern, ag
gressive woman like Cinderella have
a good excuse to lose her shoe
where her man would be sure to
find it’
Let’s face it, without props, scen
ery, costumes and lighting, Cin
derella might as well slay in the
ashes.
Luckily, productions do have
scenes to bring stories to life. For
UNL productions, the scene shop
in the Temple Building on 12th and
R streets is where those props arc
created by University of Xcbraska
Lincoln students with a flair for
-— -
I costuming — and a class require
* ment.
Music blasts in the scenery de
partment, while students sweep up
the remains of the Studio Theatre’s
most recent production, “Reckless."
Piles of cut lumber lie in one
corner, while a roomful of saws,
nails and other construction hard
ware are scattered arou nd the floor.
Along one wall are remnants of
past sets still in good enough con
dition to be used again.
The immense back wall is a
paint frame. In laymen’s terms, it’s
an enormous easel, on which the
background scenery is painted,
behind the frame, on the wall it
self, is a menagerie of spray paint
that could easily occupy a space in
any modem art museum.
Off to one side is the “club
house." Furnished with a brig'ni
orange couch and a TV that’s al
ways tuned to “The Simpsons” or
Thursday night, the clubhouse i!
where many of the students sleep
study, listen to music or just ham
out. It’s also the office of Ricr
Schroeder, the shop foreman.
Schroeder’s theater career be
gan at Nebraska Wesleyan Univer
sity. When he got bored with hi
psychology major, he switched t<
theater in his junior year.
“1 guess 1 got into it because
enjoy the thrill of the production,
he said.
After working as a graduat
assistant in scenery at I NF, Schroe
der moved to New York. For th
next 10 years he lived in the Hi
Apple and toured Furope twic<
Jefl Wlliett/Daily Nebraskan
working behind the scenes and
onstage.
"Although I started as an actor,
it’s easier to find work as a techni
cian,” he said.
In 1980, Schroeder returned to
Nebraska.
"I’m glad I came back. It’s a
whole different attitude here. The
Midwest is the best,” he said.
Eventually, Schroeder found his
way back to UNL and the position
he holds now. He said he misses
acting, but "technical work is much
easier.”
Schroeder said the toughest part
of theater is coordinating all of the
elements: sets, lighting, costumes
and props.
Schroeder is in charge of con
struction of all the scenic elements
for productioas in the 'Temple Build
ing, such as platforms, houses and
background scenery.
He said labor for all the crews in
■ 'Temple was provided through work
study and Introductory Drama and
J Beginning Stagecraft classes.
Students in the Introductory
Drama class must either spend 20
. hours working behind the scenes
. or write a paper. 'Those in the Be

) to spend 40 hours backstage dur
ing a semester Graduate students

” Temple, depending on the classes
they’re taking.
t But the required hours mean
more than work to the students in

whom he works. ‘Sometimes when
we’re working too many hours
together, we start to be like a family
—getting crabby with each other ”
Schroeder said he didn’t think
i the work required loo much from
the students.
i “Most times, all we expect of
; them is to keep an open mind and
to try,” he said.

1 much fun, they’ll lake extra hours.
