Daily Nebraskan Wednesday, August 24, 1983 Pago 58 Bureaus offer entertainment ideas Entertainment can transform an ordinary event into something ex traordinary, and the Lin coln entertainment bu reaus offer a wide variety of services to students and Lincoln residents. Martha Bixby, Applause Attractions agent, said, "You name it, we have it," to describe the variety of acts the firm books. The agency, 2817 T St., handles from 60 to 100 bookings of bands across the Midwest, Bixby said. Bands play anything from rock'n'roll to reggae, she said, and the variety of music is as wide as the price range which runs from $400 to as high as $3,000. Jack Downs, agent for the Richard Lutz Enter tainment Agency, 5625 O St., also stressed the many types of entertainment available through the agency.

The agency books all types of acts in a 15 Midwest state area. Recently the agency booked the Louise Man drell concert in Omaha. Special occasions may call for a disc jockey, ma gician, speaker or even a male go-go danger, and Downs said he's booked them all. CID Productions, 1410 Benton St., handles bands, musical entertainment and variety acts, Bob Kodr, owner and mana ger, said. Country, rock, Top 40 and polka music can all be booked through the agency, Kodr said, with prices ranging from $250 to $25,000. Disc jockeys may also be hired through the agency. Kodr said the amount of time for advance book ings varies considerably. "With school starting there's a lot of things hap pening, but a good band could be available because of a cancella tion," he said. UULz! D Q Q 0 D D D D Q D D D D D D D D 0 D We at Casio figured you could use a little help this semester (not to mention a few extra bucks). So we're offering a $5 rebate on our FX-98 and FX-910 solar pow ered scientific calculators, which regularly sell for $29.95. The FX-910 is a wallet sized unit with 48 scientific functions. The FX-98 is credit card size with 42 scientific functions. Both feature an 8 digit mantissa with 2 digit exponent. Both feature fractional calculations (a function not found on many comparable units). So now you can work with fractions without having to convert to decimals. And since both units incorporate, a powerful solar cell that can operate in very low light, they'll not only save you time and energy, they'll save you from ever having to buy batteries. The FX-98 and FX-91 0 also come with a free application manual, "Strategies for Scientific Calculating," which will save you work by showing you shortcuts for using your calculator. So if you think you could use a little student aid this semester, take advantage of our $5 rebate offer. And bring a Casio to class. VVhero mirccbs nsver cecso TrrOfl-3S;.

The Game Gal-ry, 1349 Q St., has about 45 games for the video game expert, including the new Dra gon's Lair, Star Wars, Q-Bert and Ms. Pac-Man. All gmes at the Gal-ry are token-fed and the arcade gives six tokens for $ 1 and 40 tokens for $5. A snack bar offers sandwiches, snacks and soft drinks for the hungry video warrior. The Game Gal-ry is open from 1 0 a.m. to midnight, Monday through Saturday, and from noon to mid night on Sunday. Tommy's, 1229 R St., has 25 games, most of which give players two games for a quarter. The game room is open seven days a week, 24 hours a day during the fall semester, including some holiday hours. Tommy's provides a study "Loft" for customers wishing to take a break from the rigors of Pole Position and Popeye, two of the games awaiting patrons at Tommy's. The arcade also serves 22 different submarine sandwiches and other smacks. W.C. Franks is more of a restaurant than a game arcade, but 17 games are on hand there to challenge video game enthusiasts. Popular games at W.C. Franks include Galaga, Joust and Ms. Pac Man. All games are coin-operated. The restaurant's menu features hot dogs and polish sausages served with a variety of toppings, chips and soft drinks. On campus, students can find video game fun at the first floor game rooms at Abel and Harper residence halls, and the Nebraska Union. At Harper Hall, the game room and the snack bar have been combined in the food service building. The game room includes pool tables, ping pong tables and foosball tables. Abel Hall's game room has more video games than Harper and also has pool tables. A separate snack bar serves food and drinks.
