After nearly two years of search ing and more than 50 applicants from all over the United States, the search for the new director of the School of Music has been narrowed to three finalists. The previous director, Kerry Grant, left after he received the position of dean at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Grant was director for six years before he left two years ago this fall. Faculty member Rusty White took over the position as an interim director. Larry Lusk, an associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, appointed a search committee shortly after Grant left. The com mittee, which includes several School of Music fac ulty members, began the search pro cess by advertising the position to universities throughout the United States. The committee reviewed the ap plications it received and narrowed the list of possible candidates. The final three candidates will visit cam pus, meet with faculty and staff and speak to students. Quentin Faulkner, a professor of organ and music history and co-chair man of the search committee, said the most important criteria were experi ence in teaching, research, and ser vice. “We want someone who interacts with society, faculty, administration and the public at large,” Faulkner said. “He also needs to be outstanding in his particular field or endeavor.” The three finalists include Lawrence Mallett from Murray State University in Kentucky, Gordon McQuere from Baylor University in Texas and John Swain frorfl Califor nia State University. All three final ists hold administrative positions at their present universities. The director’s job includes many responsibilities, Faulkner said. The director is in charge of the School of Music’s basic operations and its 35 faculty members, he said. Other responsibilities include future planning, contact with the public, fund raising and work with the Student Advisory Board. After listening to the recommen dations of administrators and faculty members, Lusk said he would make the final decision. “We have a great pool of appli cants to chose from,” Lusk said. “I am very, very pleased with our appli cants. All of them would do an excel lent job here.” A RH A sets aside bill sponsoring student By Sarah Duey Staff Reporter Executive members of the Resi dence Hall Association voted Sunday night to table a bill that would sponsor a University of Ne braska-Lincoln student’s stress I management and relief program. If RHA agreed _ to sponsor sopho more Mark Goldfeder, the association would be responsible for temporarily paying Goldfeder’s travel expenses to col leges or universities that buy his pro gram, sending Goldfeder to all Mid west and National Association of College and University Residence Halls conferences and allowing Goldfeder to use RHA off ce resources. “It would be relatively painless,” said Goldfeder. “There is no down side for RHA.” The association would receive full reimbursement of travel expenses, he said, plus 5 percent of his personal pay. Goldfeder now charges $150 for his program. Goldfeder said he would also present his program to any RHA group or RHA-sponsorcd function free of charge. “Any money I make from this will cover what I lose from being absent from my two jobs,” Goldfeder said. “I don’t have the personal funds to pay for traveling expenses.” His program, which he will present to Northwest Missouri State and a New Jersey high school, has the po tential to go far, he said. Goldfeder said he had been contacted by seven other schools nationwide. Goldfeder said he would acknowl edge UNL’s RHA during his presen tations if it chose to sponsor him. RHA, a nonprofit organization, will wait to find out if sponsoring someone is legal. -NEWS BRIEFS UNL professor awarded grant for institute The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded UNL phi losophy professor Robert Audi a $160,000 grant to conduct a six week institute on naturalism at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln next summer. The institute will offer 25 col lege and university teachers fel lowships to study the metaphysi cal, epistemological and ethical aspect of naturalism.The partici pants were selected from appli cants around the nation. Audi’s grant was one of 28 higher-education grants awarded by NEH. The grants are intended to improve college-level teaching and enable faculties to add new core courses to their school’s curricu lum. Human service volunteers needed for study The Community Human Ser vices Planning Council is looking for volunteers to study selected areas of human service need in Lincoln and Lancaster County. The volunteers will serve on one panel. Each panel will conduct an in-depth study of one of five sub ject areas: underemployment, need for neighborhood resource centers, services for the elderly during the time from independent living to institutional care, and preventing mate domestic violence and chil dren and youth. Volunteers must be able to com mit up to eight hours per month for six months. Volunteers write re ports that will be used by the Coun cil todevelopa human service needs assessment. Contact the Community Human Services Planning office for an ap plication Harms Continued from Page 1 Barney signed a written agreement with Lancaster County prosecutors Dec. 14 in exchange to “truthfully disclose” all information in tfie case and enter a guilty plea to first-degree murder, according to a Friday Omaha World-Herald report. This agreement superseded another plea bargain signed Dec. 6, the report said. Lacey refused to comment on the second agreement. I “They made a deal with Scott (Barney),” Helvie said. “That should ' cause people to examine closely his I reason for coming forward. Hesought | leniency, it should question the reli I ability of what he said.” -44 Mr. Bjorklund has the right to a trial. If he Is charged of somdthlng else, the Issue Is moot. —Helvie Public Defender -ft - Helvie said discussing death pen alty charges before the trial began was unconstitutional, according to a 1976 Supreme Court ruling. The ruling in Fumam vs. Georgia stated that pre mature death penalty charges could cause arbitrary application. Arbitrary application may cause preconceived notions in the trial pro ceedings, Helvie said. In Nebraska, cases of arbitrary application are heard before a three-judge panel. If the death-penalty charge is made public now, Helvie said, jurors have little choice in deciding the case. “Mr. Bjorklund has the right to a trial,” Helvie said. “If he is charged of something else, the issue is moot.” Attorneys on both sides agreed to wait until Bjorklund’s murder trial to hear the death-penalty arguments, Helvie said. Bjorklund and Barney also both are charged with eight felonies in connection with a string of Lincoln burglaries last fall. Bjorklund will be arraigned on the murder charges Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. Fraternity Continued from Page 1 bers over the last few years, Jackson said. Jackson said friendships, social opportunities and rewarding commu nity service projects were the compo nents that retained members’ inter ests after joining a fraternity. “A lot of people aren’t aware of what a fraternity does for the commu nity and the uni versity .’’Jackson said. Walisa Triplett, a junior business major and president of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, agreed that community ser vice was one of the main goals of her eight-member organization. This year, Triplett said, Zeta Phi Beta donated canned goods to the I Malone Center and helped prepare and distribute Thanksgiving baskets for needy families. Brown also cited community ser vice as one of the main reasons he joined Alpha Phi Alpha. Brown said he received a scholas tic achievement award from the orga nization before he became a member, and was impressed by the encourage ment the fraternity had given him to succeed. He said he wanted to do the same for other students. “I joined because I felt Alpha Phi Alpha and my own personal charac teristics and goals matched. ... I would like to become part of students trying tefimprove themselves,” Brown said. Vernon Powell, a senior human developmentand the fam ily and crimi nal justice major, said one of the most important things Kappa Alpha Psi did fcwas provide role models for children. Powell is the Kappa Alpha Psi presi dent. “We strive to obtain brotherhood within and outside the fraternity,” Powell said, “and try to be role mod els to young kids.” Triplett, Powell and Brown said they selected new members through an application process that usually took place in the fall. Though membership of all three chapters is historically African Ameri can, Triplett, Powelf and Brown said nationwide membership was diverse and that their organizations do not discriminate in the membership pro cess. Three other predominately Afri can-American fraternities and sorori ties are trying to obtain chapters on the UNL campus, but are not yet recognized, Triplett said.
