Late and early birds
flock to Stormie's
tyCizvU::
Although Etormis's Kitchen, 1E23 0 St.,
opened its docrcs threeycars Ego, the nht time
cale indirectly received its name 36 years ago.
Bob Von Busch, port owner and fry cook,
said the restaurant v.c.3 named after his wife,
who was nicknamed Stormy by her family
doctor.
"She was born during a hell of a storm," Von
Busch sail
By the time meet people ere getting ready for
bed, Stormia's b juct opening its doors for the
"Nfcht Ov. Ij r.nd Early Birds," according to the '
yellow neon sign that hangs along 0 Street
outside the cafe.
Stormie's is open Monday morning from 5
a.m. to 1 p.n., Monday through Thursday even-,
ing from 1 1 p.m. to 1 p.m., Fridays 1 1 p.m. to 1 1
a.m., and Saturdays from 1 1 p.m. to 5 am.
Von Busch said he never has considered
opening Stormie's during more conventional
hours. He believes there are more people who
need a place to eat at night. The fact that
Lincoln is a university town contributes to the
restuarant's late-night crowd.
The bulk of Stormie's' customers are stu
dents and the "working class," Von Busch said.
He also noted that business definitely picks up
during final and midterm examination periods.
However, Von Busch said he believes newer
students are not aware of Stormie's and he has
noticed a slight decrease in business. Many of
Von,Busch's student regulars recently grad
uated. Regulars make up a good part of Stormie's
customers. Many people always come at a cer
tain time of the night. For instance, many bar
owners and workers come after the bars have
closed, Von Busch said.
Most meals at Stormie's range in price from
$1.50 to $4.50. Von Buschsaidhe likes to keep
the prices down to where everyone can afford
them, unlike the other restaurants along 0
Street that stay open during the night.
Most of the meals Von Busch cooks are
breakfast items, but the hamburgers also are
popular, including the house specialty, "The
Belt Buster" hamburger.
f Von Busch describes The Belt; Buster" as
10.5 ounces of Grade A ground round, spiced
with its own seasoning and served with "any
thing you want on it."
The best way to describe it is for you to come
on down and eat it," Von Busch said.

DENSA for intellectually indigent
, DEN3A Isnt just a joke. Founder Steve Price
genuinely wants to change the elitist attitude some
have toward IQ. He is also making satiric war on
MENSA the club for the conspicuously brainy.
BHN3A - Diversely Educated but Not Seriously
Affected, in case you were wondering is like the
Institutions it lampoons. It requires a strictly de
fined entrance exam. However, doffed reportorial
investigation has unearthed some DQ (density quo
tient) tests:
Fill the bathtub to the rim with water. If you
are able to displace any water when you get in the
tub, then you are dense enough for DENSA.
. Which docs not belong with the others: (a) dada
(b) abstract realism (c) cubism (d) mama.
How long does it take the average person to run
the gamut? .
Define universe. Give two examples.
People can't study for the DENSA test ;
"Originally there was no test Then a woman wrote
in that she couldn't join an organization that didnt
have a test," Price said. "She suggested the bathtub
test as the first DQ test, now there are more than
200 DQ tests. "We try to keep anxiety levels down.
Our members would rather be dense than tense,"
Price said.
The test also lacks an answer section. Price said
that is "to avoid cheating and because there is no
one answer to many things in the universe." DENSA
members also tend to see things in non-standard
ways, he said.
"Alfred Binet originally designed it (the IQ test) to
look for learning disabilities in children," Price said.
When it came to America it went Hollywood:
everyone had to have a higher IQ than the next
person."
Price took the name of the organization from the
Latin word densus meaning thick with leaves and
full of potential
"What we're trying to do with DENSA is to say that
a mind cant be equated with a memory," Price said.
Interested parties can receive the DQ test and
DENSA newsletter to DENSA, PO. Box 214333,
Dallas 75221.
