A semester of hard work will culminate tonight for members of the University Dance Company as it performs its spring program.
Kendra Hollman, president of the University Dance Company, said the company would perform nine pieces from jazz to tap at 7:30 tonight and tomorrow night in the Lied Center.
"If you ve never seen dance before," Kendra Hollman, Lincoln. Neb., senior, said, "you'll see something you like."
seethingsyouneed About 600 people attend the spring program each year, said Fred Pawlicki, associate director of the Lied Center.
"There are some wonderfully talented dancers at KU," Pawlicki said. "The Lied Center is the place for them to showcase their talent."
Jerel Hilding, director of the University Dance Company, said the group spent its entire budget, $1,100, on its fall and spring semester programs.
Although Student Senate provides this budget. Hilding said the group didn't make a profit because all program proceeds went back to the music and dance department. This means that the group does a lot of hard work but
makes no money from the show.
The group must start from square
one at the beginning of each year.
"it's not a freebie," he said. "We don't see a dime of the ticket sales."
Brandi Green, 2002 graduate, said hard work was part of the satisfaction of the program. She's been dancing since age 3 and still craves the on-stage adrenaline rush.
"It's just like if you play basketball,you want to play games," Green said. "If you dance,you want to perform."
Guest choreographer Bill Evans, a University of New Mexico professor of dance, worked with students early in the semester to develop the tap piece "Yes, Indeed!"
Dancers sit side-by-side on metal chairs for this piece, each tapping out the syncopated rhythm while yawning, performing scat or even falling out of a chair.
"It's more like a mix between Broadway and Stomp," Hollman said.
Despite spraining her ankle this week, Hollman said the tough practices had been gratifying. This will be Hollman's fourth program with the company.
"As a senior, I'm sorry it's going to be over," she said.
Tickets are $5 for students and can be purchased at the Student Union Activities box office, the Lied Center and Murphy Hall. General admission tickets are $7.
Nebraska vet students keep tuition break

LINCOLN, Neb. — Current Nebraska residents enrolled in a veterinary medicine program at Kansas State University will continue to get tuition breaks, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlman said yesterday.
The university also will study creating a new, more targeted program for veterinary students. Perlman said.
Under the current program, Nebraska residents pay UNL's instate tuition to attend Kansas State University's College of Veterinary Medicine.
currently enrolled, Perlman said.
But faced with state budget cuts, UNL plans to eliminate the subsidy.
Perlman yesterday said students currently enrolled would be able to continue paying in-state tuition through the remainder of their education. The university always sought to continue the program for students
Funding for continuing the program for the 74 currently enrolled students will come from savings made within the university's current budget, such as not filling vacancies, said John Owens, vice chancellor of the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
The 26 students who were to begin the program in the fall also would only have to pay in-state tuition if the funding request
included in the budget proposal by the Legislature's Appropriations Committee was passed, Perlman said.
The committee included $1.9 million to pay for the subsidy for the incoming students next year, with the intent the subsidy would continue until their graduation. Debate of that proposal, part of the committee's plan to address a $761 million state budget shortfall, is to begin in early May.
