"She Loves Me"
to combine
music and humor
BY LOIU MEIUIYMAN
Good singing associated with operas and the spon
taneity of a good play will combine in the UN-L Opera
Theatre's performance of "She Loves Me" in Kimball
Hall next week, said Gregg Tallman, producer-direcor of
the production. Performances are scheduled for 8 p.m. on
June 26, 28 and July 2, and 3 p.m. on July 5. "She Loves
Me' a broadway musical hit of the 19008, is a heart
warming comedy, he said. But the play has its serious
moments. In contrast to a plot filled with laughs and fun
is a suicide and a tear-jerker ending, he said.'
Although this is not the usual production associated
with an opera-theater, the play requires the good voice
and vocal range of opera singers. Tallman said he chose
"She loves Me" because he could incorporate good mu
sical numbers, yet show the opera-theater students they
could still have a good time with it.
The origninal play, "Parfumerie," was written by
Miklos Laszlo, who was an actor, director and playwright
in Budapest until moving to the U.S. before World War
II. The play was set in the romantic atmosphere of a par
fumerie in Europe in the 1930s, and the plot mirrors this
attitude. "Parfumerie" was a success in Europe, but was
not in the U.S. until 1940 when MGM picked it up and
made it into a the movie "The Shop aropund the Corner"
starring Margaret Sullivan and Jimmy Stewart.
"She Loves Me" opened on Broadway in 1963 and ran
for 38 weeks and ran again in the fail of 1978.
The play is about two people, Amalia and Georg, who
work together at a perfume shop selling everything from
Mona Lisa face cream to musical candy boxes.
Amalia and Georg, who cannot stand working togeth
er, bicker constantly during the day, but unknowingly
send love letters to each other at night. They fall in love
through the anonymous love letters they have been send
ing each other addressed a box number at the newspa
per's classified department.
For the UN-L production Amalia and Georg will be
played by Beth Asbjornson and Scott Miller. Other cast
members are: Charles Austin as Mr. Kodaly, the suave
wolf of the perfume shop; Deanna Mumgaard as Miss
Ritter, another shop employee and current victim of Mr.
Kodaly's advances; Peter Schroeder as Mr. Maraczek,
the shop owner; Jim Nichols as a salesman; and Christo
pher Niess as Arpad, an ambitious delivery boy.
A 35-member professional orchestra, directed by Rob
ert Emile of the UN-L Department of Music will accom
pany the performers.
Tallman said practices have been going "too good." So
far, the only difficulties have been in designing the tech
nically difficult scenes. The play requires fast changes in
a variety of scenes and rapid changes from night to day.
Ed Stauffer of the Department of Theatre Arts de
signed the sets, which include the prosperous European
parfumerie.
Along with the detailed sets of the perfume shop, a
number called "Vanilla Ice Cream," and candy and music
boxes, strawberry sundaes will be served on the lawn out
side of Kimball Hall before and after the play and during
intermissions.
As part of this summer's Nebraska Repertory Thea
tre, tickets for "She Loves Me" are available two ways
as part of the Nebraska Repertory season, $16; or as indi
vidual tickets, $5 for regular tickets, and $3 for students,
children and people over 65 years old. Tickets can be pur
chased at Kimball Box Office at 11th and R Streets.
Drive thrus: they may not be gourmet, but they're fast
BY LORI MERRYMAN
On the go? Too pressed for time to walk into Wendy's
and order a Single? To tired to get out of the car and
order a Big Mac?
Whatever the excuse, more and more Lincoln fast food
restaurants are finding remedies with drive-thru order
windows.
Since Rax Roast Beef and Wendy's restaurants
opened the first drive-thru lanes in Lincoln in 1969, at
least 14 other Lincoln fast food restaurant locations have
followed i v . . ..
Not only can one buy everything 'tm & Vxiyto&
salad, to a hot ham and cheese, but two fast food mexi
can restaurants, Amigos and Taco Inn, have added their
entrees to drive-thru menus.
Drive-thru windows have become popular because the
restaurant can service more people, said managers of
seven Lincoln fast food restaurants.
All seven of the managers said from 35 to 50 percent of
their business is through the drive-thru lane.
One big advantage to the drive-thru is it brings in an
other avenue of customers, said Tom Rivett, manager of
McDonald's at 865 N. 27th St. Some of the most common
users of drive-thru lanes are women in curlers, handi
capped people, people too tired to wait in line or people
in too big of a hurry to get out of their car, -Rivett said.
M fast food restaurants promise the same fast, efficient
a fservice "to 'drive-thru customers as they do inside. They
all promise complete drive-thru service in no more than
three minutes. Managers for both Wendy's and Rax said

it takes 30 seconds to serve a customer from the time
they place their order, until they pick up their food.
Jim Butler, manager of Taco Inn at 311 N. Cotner,
said because they have a small dining room, they can
serve more customers in the drive-thru lane.
The same standards apply to customers in the drive
thru lane as those inside the restaurant, said Kris Calla
han, manager for Burger King, 1221 N. 27th St. said. It
shouldn't take longer than three minutes from the time
the customer places his order, inside or outside, until her
receives his food, Callahan said.
Drive-thru lanes are a definite advantage for restau
rants, Butler said.
"I you serve that window right, you can do an awful
lot of extra business," he said.
Scholarships available
The University of Nebraska offers all students a
chance to study abroad with a $10,000-$12,000 grant.
The Fulbright Grant is a scholarship available to any
student who has completed a bachelor's degree program.
The grant provides the student with money for transpor
tation, tuition, health insurance and a monthly allow
ance, said Fulbright adviser Roberto Esquenazi-Mayo.
Esquenazi-Mayo said the grant is nondiscriminatory.
It is based on academic status, references and a plan of
study. Applicants must write an essay telling how receiv
ing the grant will help them professionally and person
ally.and how they will represent the United States
abroad. Applicants must also meet certain requirements
for each country in which English is not the native lan
guage. Applications are due Sept. 28, 1981 for the academic
year 1982-1983, Each applicant is given a local interview,
then all documents are sent to New York for review.
Students nation-wide compete for the annual grant,
but UN-L students are as "good as any student any
where," said Esquenazi-Mayo.
