Please see review on page 9. m -i After a decade of service, Miller will return to teaching, finismng door By Erin Schulte Senior Reporter Tice Miller will retire as chairman of the De partment of Theatre Arts and Dance next se mester and take on the duties of a full profes sor. Miller, who decided to step down last week, has served as chairman for 10 years, and he said that is enough. | ‘I’m exhausted,” he said. ‘1 need to do other things.” Among those will be finishing a book on the history of American theater, which he has not had time to do in more than 18 months. Miller said he also will teach at least two classes-and help with either the graduate pro gram or the Nebraska Repertory Theater. Right now, he teaches a class in script analysis. Miller said he received automatic tenure. Julie Hagemeier, managing director of the Repertory Theater and theater manager for the department, said the move was good for Miller, but his expertise would be missad. “We all really respected him as an adminis trator, but it will be wonderful for him to finish the book he’s been working on for a long time and teach,” Hagemeier said. Goodwdl has been coming in from aU the faculty at the theater department, Miner said. V “People have been kind,” he said, “They r have been wishing me weU.” The last year as theater chairman has been especially strenuous, Miller said. “The work load has been really increased,” he said. “Some of it is faculty leaving and pick ing up additional work from the faculty.” Trying to figure out how to deal with a pos sible 4 percent budget cut also has made the year stressful, he said. According to Paul Carlson, associate vice chancellor for business and finance, depart ments are .asked to review their budget every year and submit plans to the chancellor that show: '' • How the department would cut its budget by a certain percentage, 4 percent this year. • How it would remain at status quo.
