Faculty member Thomas Pfotenhauer directs the jazz combos.

GREEN BAY - Three University of Wisconsin-Green Bay choral groups will be joined by soloists, instrumentalists and a band specializing in Celtic music for "Holiday Traditions," a concert at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 14 ,in the Weidner Center on the campus at 2420 Nicolet Drive.

Bubble and Squeak is a Door County-based group that performs Celtic music on fiddle, cello, whistles, wooden flute, mandolin, guitar, bod'hran, and various other instruments. Founded in 1994, the band performs frequently and has made two recordings. They'll provide three program segments, ranging from seasonal music to a traditional dance, "Ballintore Fancy and Reel."

The concert begins with a processional of choirs singing "Betelehemu" in Yoruba, accompanied by percussionists Andrew Martin, Ellen Simon and Tim Patterson.

The University Chorus, conducted by John Plier, will perform selections in Yiddish and Hebrew and close with "This Little Babe," assisted by the Vocal Ensemble. Ellen Hanchek accompanies the 48-member group.

"Deck the Halls in 7/8" and "Light the Legend," sung in Hebrew, are on the schedule for the 17-member Vocal Ensemble, conducted by William Witwer, University director of choral activities. Soprano Kelly Shoemaker is the soloist on "I Wonder as I Wander." Faculty member Janice Cusano is the pianist.

Two solos and a men's ensemble selection comprise another program segment. The six-member men's ensemble, members of Concert Choir, will perform "Rise Up, Shepherd."

Soprano Sharon Steinberg-Plier will sing "O, Holy Night," and tenor John Plier will sing "Gesu Bambino." Steinberg-Plier is teaching at UW-Green Bay this year for Prof. Sarah Meredith, who is on leave. Plier joined the UW-Green Bay faculty in August. Both soloists have performed in oratorio and orchestral performances and in opera roles in the U.S. and Europe.

Witwer will conduct the Concert Choir in selections in Maori ("Ka Waiata Ki A Maria"), Latin ("Ave Maria"), and German ("Es is ein Ros entsprungen"), and end with "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year." Cusano is accompanist.

The concert close features the combined choirs singing in English and Zulu, "Hope for Resolution," a song dating to the waning days of apartheid in South Africa. The voices will be accompanied by Sarah Danek on flute; John Salerno, soprano saxophone; Cusano, piano; and Martin, Simon, and Patterson on percussion.

Admission is $6 for adults and $3 for students. The numbers for tickets are (920) 465-2271 or 1-800-328-8587.

GREEN BAY - Thirteen student artists won awards in the 28th annual juried student art exhibition on display in the Lawton Gallery at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, 2420 Nicolet Drive. Most of the awards are cash or purchase awards.

Wane J. Wanek, Green Bay, received the Chancellor's Award for a toned silver gelatin print; Krista Ehrlich, Port Washington, won the Provost's Award for a coiled and pieced ceramic bowl; and Rebecca Pearson, Kimberly, received the Academic Dean's Award for a three-dimensional mixed media piece.

Jeanelle Van den Heuvel of New Franken received two awards: the Lawton Gallery Award for Excellence in three-dimensional work for a sculpture, and the Art Agency Purchase Award for a mixed media painting.

An intaglio print entitled "Moeller's Garage," by Katie Schultz, Kewaunee, won both a Style Purchase Award and the award given by Tillmann Landscaping.

Other award recipients are Barbi Nicklas, Green Bay, the Communication and the Arts Award for a conte crayon drawing; Mark Sauter, Algoma, the Lawton Gallery Award for excellence in two-dimensional work for a toned silver gelatin print; Brian Berggren, Appleton, the Contemporary Craft Award for a sterling and nickel silver spoon; Amanda Tarras, Green Bay, the J. Shimon and J. Lindemann Purchase Award for a button and telephone wire sculpture; and Cathy Marks, Green Bay, the Somerville Award for an acrylic painting.

Other Style Purchase Awards went to Paul Dax, Green Bay, for a bracelet; Julia Durst, Superior, for a constructed textile piece; and Li-Chung Lin, Green Bay, for a stoneware coffee set.

The exhibit of 68 pieces was selected by jurors J. Shimon and J. Lindemann, Manitowoc-based photographers, from 133 entries by students. "There's a bit of an independent spirit at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay...," said the jurors. "The art is alive and well."

Thirty-nine student artists are represented in the exhibit that continues through Saturday, Dec. 16. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Lawton Gallery is located in Theater Hall directly east of the Weidner Center.

GREEN BAY-The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay will close admission on Friday, Dec. 15, for new freshman and transfer students for spring semester classes that begin January 16, 2001.

The action by the University's enrollment management team applies to degree-seeking new freshmen and transfer students and does not, at this time, apply to some other categories of students, says Steve Neiheisel, assistant dean for enrollment services.

Applications are being accepted for re-enrolling former UW-Green Bay students and for students in the Extended Degree, nursing degree completion and graduate programs. Applications also are being accepted for "special students," typically adults not seeking degrees who register for one course. "The key phrase is 'at this time'," says Neiheisel, adding that other categories of students may have to be limited if the strong enrollment trend continues.

He explains that the move is necessary to insure that resources, such as adequate class sections and services, are available for the students who are enrolled and to look ahead to maintaining the University's fall 2001 target of 4,357 fulltime equivalent students.

The University's enrollment numbers are being driven by both new applications and retention, according to Neiheisel. Applications for spring semester from transfer students especially are up significantly and early registration for spring by continuing students is well ahead of last year's numbers.

"We were over our fall 2000 target to begin with, and our applications from new freshmen for fall 2001 are up over this time last year by about ten percent," says Neiheisel. He adds that the target freshman class enrollment of 878 fulltime equivalent students for fall 2001 is actually below that of the 2000 class.

"We will have to control enrollment," he adds. "If these trends continue, it is likely we'll have an early closing date for admission for fall 2001, too."

Questions about the application process can be directed to the UW-Green Bay Admissions and Orientation Office at (920) 465-2111.

GREEN BAY - University of Wisconsin-Green Bay commencement ceremonies on Saturday, Dec. 16, will honor approximately 300 graduates eligible to receive their degrees. Those students receiving bachelor's degrees with academic honors are indicated by *cum laude, ** magna cum laude, and ***summa cum laude.
