Return of students has
varied impact downtown
The Impact cf return-,
ing college students on
local businesses has been
varied. Reactions from
downtown merchants
have ranged from "super"
to "disappointing."
At the downtown Valen
tino's, 232 N. ISth St,
business "probably went -up
a good 25 percent in
the first weekend," said
manager Tom Cathe.
"VeVe hired about sexn
or cisht more workers,
mostly college students."
Business this August b
even better than for the
same period last year,
Cathe said, with just one
problem.
"Wow I'm losing all my
silverware and my ash
trays," Cathe said.
On the other side cf the
coin, Edward Sell, man
ager cf the Stuart Theater,
ICth and P streets, said
he was not pleased with
" his business, but he was
not surprised, either.
"Since classes have
beun, our business has
plummeted, he said. "In .
fact, durin3 the Nebraska
Penn State game, no cne
showed up for cur 9:40
show, so we went home
r early." -
a while to get settled be
fore they venture forth
cn the town, Sell said.
"It's a formula we fol
low each year " he said.
VTe staff down and wait
a couple weeks cntn bus
iness picks cp."
One factor which may
be keeping students away
is the tremendous heat,
said Linda Moore, co
owner cf the two Dirt
Cheap Record Stores in
Lincoln.
"It's been setting a little
busier, up maybe 10 per
cent, she said. "But usu
ally we notice more at
our downtown store.
Maybe it's still too hot for,
everyone."
Returning students
often have favorite estab
lishments they frequent,
meaning better business
for those places.
"We've noticed a lot of"
our collets regulars are
btck," eaid Pets Gri!ll3,
manager at Stock's, 23
P St "As soon as they est
settled, more .will start
showing up. I think wall
see a bij increase this
weekend."
Perennial collegiate
favorite Domino's Vizzz
abo welcomes the return
cf UNL students, said
Karleen Cochrane, office
manager at Domino's.
"Our business always
goes up when college
students return to town "
she said. "Y e always hire
more workers. Each stcre
increases its stall"
