Law and music combine well Second semester offered informa- tion and entertainment to Kearney State collegiates. A small audience gathered at the Recital Hall in mid-February to watch the CAC-sponsored presentation of “Violence in Sports.” This event fea- tured film clips of sports brutality along with a lecture by attorney Richard Hor- row. Horrow discussed the work he has done in trying to pass legislation against violence in professional sports. The first performance of the Spot- light Concert Series was in February and featured the veteran string musi- cian Kurt Van Sickle. Although he has worked with several nationally known stars, Van Sickle chose to go solo at KSC. A 12-string guitarist, Van Sickle plays sitar classical guitar, black blues, bluegrass and jazz. The instrumental- ist’s delightful show included singing and accompanying himself on the har- monica. Nancy Hill, another performer in the series, was on campus in March. Her music could be termed “contemporary folk,” a blend of country and tradition- al folk music. Nancy's rich voice and skilled guitar accompaniment had the ability to make her audience feel the music and, perhaps, forget where they were. — JoAnn Hahn, Vickie Phelps, Becky Phelps Nancy Hill CAMPUS COLLAGE 19

Pins, needles and patience The number of students admitted into the Kearney State College nursing program has been gradually increas- ing. Twenty-one students joined the department in 1978. Since then the to- tal has risen to an average of 35 stu- dents. February featured the nurse capping ceremony. This ceremony symbolized the admission of the pre-nursing soph- omore into the nursing department. It also indicated that general studies have been completed and prerequi- sites met. The nursing student is then prepared to begin the clinical exper- ience, which is required by KSC. Dur- ing their last five semesters the stu- dents receive exposure to clinical and office experience in Kearney, emer- gency and care of the elderly in Grand Island, and psychiatric care in Has- tings. Graduation was not the only event in May for the seniors. Each nursing stu- dent received a graduate pin at a spe- cial ceremony. The pin is worn as an indication of where the student gradu- ated, since all schools have different graduate pins. — Vickie Phelps Chris Mashek asks for aid from instructor Angie Cover.
