page 6 daily nebraskan monday, november 21, 1977 Foreign students alone for holiday While most UNL students will gorge themselves on turkey with their families this week, international stu dents face staying alone, if they have a place to stay at all. All university residence halls will close Wednesday morning, except the graduate section of Selleck Quad rangle and the International House. But many foreign students do not live in these sections and must find other places to stay. Although the Office of University housing encourages students and families to host a student in their homes over the holiday, not enough places exist, according to Richard McKinnon, assistant director of housing for residential education. Wesley House and the United Council of Churches also are working to find places for them to stay, he said. Although those living in International House have a place to stay, meals are not provided. However, cooking facilities are available, McKinnon said. "I'll be eating only hamburgers and Dippy Donuts," said Monday Etiebet, a student from Nigeria. Chijioke Kami, another Nigerian who lives in Cather Hall said "I'll walk the streets. It's so difficult to find anyone (to stay with)." The only way to stay in International House if you don't live there is "to get somebody to vacate their room," said Samson Okhade from Nigeria. Mei Kang from Singapore will stay in International House. Speaking for herself and her friends, she said she misses her family, "especially at holidays. We're miserable." '; - I j h Eating out for holiday? Plan ahead (O 472-2200 O) 6pm - 7am Happy Turkey Day See you after vacation. Take Care. Students staying in town Thanksgiving vacation may be hard pressed to find .a place to gorge themselves quickly and cheaply. Several Lincoln restaurants will be closed for the day. Many fast food outlets will be sending their employees home for the customary feast but will be open Friday. If a "Big Mac attack" strikes on the 24th, or if you ' crave a "big wholesome delicious change of taste" you'll have to stock-up early-both McDonald's and Arby's will be closed. Or if you planned on celebrating Thanksgiving the way Italians do you might buy a frozen pizza, because Valen tino's also will be closed. There are some places in Lincoln that will be open on the 24th, and most will serve the traditional meal. The Haymarket restaurant in the Hilton Hotel, 9th and P St., will be open from 1 1:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., serving a buffet style Thanksgiving meal. Turkey with dressing, ham or roast beef will be served with all the trimmings for $5.25. Reservations are requested. Or if the three-piece suit is at the cleaners, you can "come as you are" to any of the three Lincoln Alice's Restaurants. Roast turkey, roast beef or souther fried chicken with trimmings will be on the menu. The turkey and chicken dinners will cost $4.29 and the roast beef $4.44. The Holiday Inn restaurant, 11.01 W. Bond, will serve turkey, roast beef or ham with side dishes for W.95. Dining room employees suggest making reserva tions. So if you're not eating at mom's or if mom refuses to spend her holiday in the kitchen plan for that holiday ineaj in advance. i 5 .
