latter. But just in case some doubt lingers

Nebraska's time for spring break ranks
last among seven of the Big Eight
conference schools.
Four schools tie for first by scheduling
their spring breaks March 8-17 while two
compete for second with March 22-31 .
Nebraska finishes a strong last with March
31 through April 7. Iowa State could not
be reached to find out when its break is
scheduled.
The University of Kansas might take the
number one spot for planned activities.
Their spring break is scheduled March 8
through March 17 and includes the option
of three trips, sponsored by Student Union
Activities, according to Randy Blom, trip
director on the SUA Travel Committee.
Blom said between 90 and 100 students
take advantage of the trip to Padre Island
or the skiing trips. About 60 students are
signed up to travel to Daytona Beach, a
new trip this year.
Oklahoma State University also plans
spring break for March 8 through 17, but
they plan programs for the students, such
as the international students, who have to
