Delicious nutritious Christmas crunchies
With Christmas and the New Year near, thoughts
of many UNL students are struggling between finals
and parties. If parties win out, here are some
suggestions for easy-to-fix snacks fit for a student
pocketbook.
Fresh fruit and vegetable plates are not only
inexpensive but nutritious as well. Easily prepared,
the fruits and vegetables only need be carefully
washed, cut into bite-sized pieces and arranged on a
tray.
An attractive vegetable plate can be arranged with
the old standards: carrot and celery sticks, radishes,
cherry tomatoes, green onions and cucumber slices.
For a more exciting tray, add raw cauliflowerets, raw
zucchini slices, red and green peppers and cooked
frozen asperagus spears or brussels sprouts.

For your fruit plate try sliced bananas, apples,
avocados and oranges. Since winter isn't the best time
to buy fresh fruit, you might want to complete the
tray with canned apricots, peaches, pears and
pineapple. Remember to drain the fruit throughly
before placing it on the tray.
Bring the fruits and vegetables to life with a
variety of dips. An easy fruit dip mixes two
tablespoons of powdered sugar and one tablespoon
lemon juice (or juice drained from the canned fruits)
with a small container of plain yogurt.
For vetetaWes there's guacamole, an avacado dip
from Mexico. If you're an avacado fan, now is the
time to indulge because the fruit is at its peak both in
quality and economy. Choose a bright fresh-looking
avacado just beginning to turn soft.
For heartier appetites whip up some stuffed celery,
cucumbers or hard-cooked eggs. Complete your party
menu with your favorite chips and crackers and those
traditional holiday drinks: eggnog and hot buttered
rum. . . -

County to conduct
sickle cell testing
A Lancaster County drive to detect sickle cell
anemia will be conducted Sunday, according to Dr.
Samuel Fuenning, director of University Health
Services.
Fuenning said the disease is a hereditary sickness
predominant among blacks. He added that about 10
per cent of all blacks are carriers and one in 400
actually has the disease.
Sickle cell anemia affects a person's red blood cells
and decreases the capability for carrying oxygen,
Fuenning said.
"The disease can become very serious," he said.
"There is no cure, but if people know they have the
disease then they can exercise some judgment."
- Fuctoningsaid testing sites for the disease will be
located.atahe Nebraska Cultural Center, 1012 N.
16th St.; the Malone Community Center, 2030 T St.;
the Lincoln Community Center Building, 15th and N
Streets and the Salvation Army, 1645 N. 27th St.
