Summer in the City
Cold S compresses ace ways to escape torn
by KEMA SODERBERG
Tar melts to the bottom of your bare
feet as you plod across the blacktop,
if you can make it across the street. Every
thing buzzes as the air flows through your
lungs like water. All this time, you hallu
cinate about the popsicle waiting in your
Humor
freezer. Actually, you fantisie about
crawling into the freezer with your pop
side. Really, summers in Lincoln aren't that
bad. I've survived one now. I came to
the plains of the Midwest from the
Montana mountains. A stupid mistake on
my part. People at home 3skcd how my
summer went and 1 couldn't remember.
"What do you mean you don't remem
ber, Kcma?" they asked, baffled by my
short memory.
"Oh, yeah, I remember now. It was
hot," I respond.
They walk away, making a mental note
that my brain is fried.
I crawl away, making a mental note
not to get involved in a conversation like
that again.
So why am I involved in writing this
story? Good question. Well, consider
this a warning if you're planning a first
summer in Lincoln. At first you won't
think this place is half bad. The spring
is deceptive. Then, when the temperature

roams to the 85 -degree mark and humidity
hits 05 percent, you will feel different.
Just wait until the mercury shoots into
the nineties and the humidity goes even
higher.
'There are only a few things you can do
other than packing your bags and vacat
ioning in Alaska. All of these worked well
for me.
- Take lots of baths. Be sure your water
froster is working or the cold water will
come out of the tap hot. This method is
one of the best for cooling off, unless
being a permanent prune bothers you.
-Cold compresses work well too.
Just wrap a large, damp towel around
you ar.d lay in the middle of the floor.
Be sure the towel is really cold, at first.
Two minutes later, you'll be boiling again.
A drawback of this method is its straight
jacket etlcct. it s hard to read summer
quencher recipes when you arms are
plastered to your sides.
-Hang out at supermarkets. 1 find the
frozen food section to be the most com
fortable. Look casual so you won't be
fined for loitering. I was so charged three

For example, SPF 10 means that
wearing that lotion allows you to be in
the sun 10 times longer than you normally
could.
"But the highest number (15) really
doesn't totally block out the sun," he
said.
In spite of doctor's warnings that too
much of a ood thing may be bad, pool
sides and tennis courts arc filled with
tanners. The range of tanning products
also seems .to be growing every year.
A count at Osco Drug Store, 1339 O
St., showed at least 30 different kinds
of suntan oils, lotions, sun screens and
,after-tan moisturizers and tan extenders.
Coppertone, for example, offers several
lotions and oils with various SPFs.
It also offers Sudden Tan ("Got a
minute? Get a tan.") for "a natural looking
tan indoors."
A bottle of Coppertone's QT promises
a tan "in one sunny afternoon."
You also can buy For Faces Only, and
an after-tanning lotion that claims to help
prevent peeling and prolong your tan.
Ron Grosserode, a pharmacist at Osco
Drug, said that there is a drug available on
the Canadian market that aids in the
ranning process. It contains carotene, a
derivitive of carrots. The carotene turns
the skin an orangish color, he said.
The UNL students questioned did not
times until 1 got my disguise down. It's
hard to look like a convincing pork chop.
-Spend all your time at the theater.
This is an especially good idea if your
apartment doesn't have air conditioning.
You will need to take a sweater because
theaters are always cold. You'll also want
to hit the matinees because they're shown
during the hottest part of the day. I
saw "Bambi" 15 times last summer. I
hear "Sword in the Stone" will be here
this season. That's one you definitely
shouldn't miss.
-Find a job in a meat locker. There
are great benefits. You could be filmed
in a movie. You never know when a
would-be Rocky will drop in.
-Disregard all the above advise. Flay
tennis in the morning, bike out to Holmes
Lake for a dip in the early afternoon
(cheaper than swimming at a public pool
and ideal for poor starving college stu
dents), snack on Goodrich ice cream,
soothe your sunburn in the evening and
run through the Capitol sprinklers at
night.
When you return to school in August,
be proud, be cocky. You are a survivor.

have much concern for carotene, SPFs
or premature wrinkles.
Tom, a theater major, laid out on his
mattress when the temperature was around
60 degrees last Saturday.
He said that he sometimes gets a
"scorching red" sunburn, but it "becomes
a tan the next morning."
Damaged skin does not worry him.
"If it conies around, it comes around,"
he said. "It's not worth staying inside for."
Kelly, who is still sporting a spring
break tan from the Bahama Islands, said
she used an SPF 8 lotion the first day she
was there.
"But we didn't get anything," she said,
"so we switched to a (SPF) 4."
Kelly said that she lays out in the
beginning of the summer, but after that
"it gets boring."
What SPF does she use then? "Crisco
Oil."
Kelly's roommate Kim, has "tan
orexia." Kim said she lays out every day when
it is warm.
Necessities, she said, are a sunning
blanket, a mixture of baby oil and a couple
drops of iodine (which she said turns her
skin darker), and a television outside so she
can watch soap operas.
Kim, who has dark hair, times how long
she has been on her back or stomach by
the soaps.
