Campus Christmas celebrations
slow during dead, finals weeks
By Ward Triplett
Celebrations honoring the end of final's week and the
Christmas holiday should not be hard to find in Lincoln
next weekend. Most campus residence halls and Greek
organizations seem content to wait until then to cele
brate. A minimal number of parties are scheduled during
dead and finals week.
However, from hall to hall, dorm residents are not
allowing the occasion to pass without some recognition.
"Each of the floors has their own events," said Burr
Fedde residence Director Pat Greene. "Before, it has been
more on a floor-to-floor basis than on a hall basis."
Greene said that the Secret Santa game, where anony
mous gifts are exchanged, has been popular among Burr
Fedde floors this year.
At Neihardt hall, student government president Karen
Howard said the only planned Christmas event was the
canopy party scheduled directly before the annual Christ
mas dinner. A similar function was held at Abel Hall,
where the hors de voure party also precedes Christmas
dinner, according to the Abel South Residence director
Pam Tilley.
In Harper-Schramm-Smith, the Christmas dinner also
was the only big event planned.
"I'd hate to say it, but we couldn't get anything going
for Christmas this year," complex director Ellen Mans
field said. "People are doing the Secret Santa game, but
there is nothing really orgainized. We had a lot of
problems gettin a Christmas party planned."
Selleck Quadrangle's Christmas dinner also was the
main Christmas attraction there. Residence Director
Earon Stanley said that the annual Wassil celebration
was a bit more special than the other Christmas dinners.
"I know this is coordinated through the student
government and food service," Stanley said. "As I under
stand it, it is our big Christmas program."
Unlike other halls, students had to purchase tickets
detailing a time and cafeteria section, and only Selleck
residents were allowed dinner tickets at no cost.

Greek organizations are not allowed to plan parties
during finals and dead weeks. However, a short gathering
following the selection of the new interfraternity council
Panhellenic officers Monday night was partially in recogni
tion of the holidays.
Since no big events are scheduled through hail sponsor
ship, the next alternative is private parties, which are
common to most dorm floors from week to week. Tilley
experts to see a few more than usual the"se last two weeks,
while Greene felt there would be no increase.
"I haven't seen, in this hall, an increase of incident
reports as far as private parties and alcohol in the rooms,"
Greene said.
Schramm residence director Jan Buckner, in her first
year at Nebraska, said the rate definitely picked up while
she was working at other schools.
"Generally, there are a lot of high anxiety levels
people might have from exams. Parties seem to be a way
to release that," she said.
Wendy Buettow, residence director at Niehardt Hall
agreed there might be, "But I wouldn't really be able
to say. I'm sure you're aware of the visitation and alcohol
rules. If there are private parties going on, they're probab
ly not going to tell me."
