Going to college is an important
financial decision. Deciding who will
handle those finances is just as impor
tant. Students should know basic infor
mation about different Lincoln bank's
and savings and loan association's
checking account?. Knowing the number
of student loans they gave last year is
also helpful. This information does not
always reflect the total amount of
money loaned all year.
Sorne institutions don't cover auto
matical checking overdrafts with funds
from savings accounts. However, these
do offer pre-applied credit for thi3
purpose.
Other savings institutions only pro
vide savings accounts.

Lincoln banks, turn to the chart on

branch closes to City Campus.

BEFOSE AFTEE
Before I joined Theta Chi I was
new on campus, feeling a bit over
whelmed, and confused, by my new
environment. Then I found a home
away from home with Theta Chi.
Several months ago I went through
-rush and liked what I saw at Theta
Chi fraternity. At first, I didn't think
I would fit in. But fter I got to
know the guys, I realized that I
would fit in perfectly. They must
have seen a potential in me, even I
didn't know existed.
Today, thanks to Theta Chi,
I'm looking forward to graduat
ing magna cum laude, then becoming
a well known trial attorney, supreme
court justice and eventually presi
dent of the United States. Maybe I'll
even play for the USFL. .

College may give people education,
but first students must meet the ex
pense of it.
Chris Vaage, an assistantdirector of
scholarships In the Office of Scholar
ships and Financial Aid, said freshmen
can combat the cost of boGks, tuition,
and weekend fun. Most incoming fresh
men apply for scholarships loans,'
grants or the UNL work-study pro
gram, Vaage said.
Incoming freshmen do this most
often on the UNL admissions applica
tion by marking that they would like
to be considered for financial aid, she
said. By marking "yes" on the applica
tion, Vaage said, students become elig
ible for any type of aid they qualify for.
There is an advantage to not apply
ing for a specific scholarship," Vaage
said, "a student may qualify for a
scholarship he or she was not aware
of."
While most incoming freshman don't
know of ev ery scholarship available to
them, Vaage said, most students come
to UNO well-informed about aid in
general. But incoming freshmen seem
more aware of aid offered through
groups, citizens, and communities than
of aid offered through UNL, she said.
The office tells freshmen about a
vcikble aid by speaking at high schools,
giving out brochures, answering stu
dents' letters and relying cn high school
counselors to help students understand
aid filing procedures.
Out of the hundreds of scholarships
awarded to incoming freshman, Vaage
said, most of them last for one year. At
the end of the year, students must
reapply.
UNL awarded 101 four-year Regent
Scholarships to incoming freshmen.
But Vaage said UNL does not know
how many students will accept the
scholarships and enroll at UNL
For incoming freshmen who did not
receive a scholarship, missed the March
.15 and April 15 application deadlines
for various need-based aid or did not
qualify for it, next year will be here
soon. All aid at UNL i3 granted to
applicants according to their percentile
ranking in their college and class.
For further information about finan
cial aid, students should go to the
Office of Scholarships and Financial
Aid, Rm. 113 Administration Building
or call 472-2030.
Tiieisen: Lincoln students
must work harder to fit in
By Judi Nyjoren
Each August thousands of freshmen
run from room to room trying to meet
everyone on their residence hall floors.
But hundreds of UNL freshmen from
Lincoln sit at home wondering how
they will meet new friends on campus.
"Lincoln students have to work a
little harder to fit in to campus life,"
said Eric Thiesen, a staff assistant for
UNL's New Student Orientation.
Unless Lincoln students become active
in campus groups, Theisensaid, college
may seem like a'continuation of high
school.
"They need to find organizations
that interest them so they don't just
drive to school, go to classes and then
back home again like they did in high
school," he said.
About 700 students from Lincoln
wiU arrive on campus in August. Theisen
said he recommended they go to the
Campus Activities and Programs Office
for information, about UNL groups.
Gerrie Switzer, a junior political
science major who lives at home in
Lincoln, said she agreed with Theisen's
advice.
EecauseJJncoln students often con
tinue friendships from high school,
Switzer said, they must either get in
volved on campus or be outgoing enough
to fit into the college scene.
While Switzer said she feels Lincoln
students must work harder to become
a part of UNL's social life, she said
living at home still has its advantages.
For one thing, Switzer said, studying
is easier at home because people aren't
always around to ask you to run down
town or talk with them.
Living at home also cuts down on
UNL expenses, Switzer said.
