Search for new director narrows
School of Music
to bring finalists
to visit campus
By Nicole Sheets
Staff Reporter _ _
The University of Nebraska-Lin
coln School of Music will soon be
playing a new tune as the search for a
new director slowly scales down.
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.”

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.

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.”

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

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.
