Sheldon narrows list to one for diretor’s replacement By Jason Hardy Staff Writer It’s been almost a year since George Neubert left the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery and Sculpture Garden to become direc tor of the San Antonio Museum of Art Neubert’s departure left the Sheldon without a director, leaving one of America’s preeminent uni versity museums without a leader. That is, until now. Well, maybe. On May 25th the Sheldon announced it had narrowed the search for a new director down to three finalists, who were to be interviewed by UNL staff, faculty and administration through may and June. However, in the last few weeks David Mickenberg, director of the Mary Leigh Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University in Evanston, 111., and Charles Guerin, director of the University of Wyoming Art Museum in Laramie, both dropped out of the running. This left Janice Driesbach, curator of art at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, California and the only finalist to FREE Acupuncture Exam in June 464-0444 actually come to Lincoln and con duct an interview, in prime posi tion. Nevertheless, Herb Howe, associate to the chancellor, said the search could be far from over. “The question is going to be ‘what is the feedback we receive on Driesbach,” Howe said. “I’m sure the chancellor won’t, if she’s offered the job it will be clear that she is a real strong candidate and that we want her to take feat posi tion.” He said that the search process was a detailed and tedious one, but that the chancellor^ office was pre pared to reopen the search if feed back from Driesbach’s interviews weren’t satisfactory. “Ajob like this has a number of different constituencies and inter ests,” he said. “I think the success ful candidate, whether it’s Driesbach or anyone else, is some one who meets all these agendas most effectively.” Howe listed relations wife the U Foundation, the Nebraska Art Association and general concerns wife academic elements as well as fund raising potential as key con cerns when choosing a director. He said the chancellor^ office would make a decision in the next couple of weeks, one way or another. Regardless of the choice, how ever, Howe said fee chancellor’s office was dedicated to finding the most qualified candidate. “Tlie Sheldon is a preeminent university museum," he said. “We need to keep that up.”
