PAETIES
Despite the efforts of the Lin
coln Police Department, there
are still a lot of parties for minors.
In fact, most minors develop
extensive "party networks" for
both on and off campus. Friday
classrooms are usually buzzing
with party addresses. However,
the risk of being arrested or
simply being told to go home is
always present for the under
age party-goer.
Disc jockeys and bands for
hire can be a good way to start a
party.
Complete Music (108, 620 N.
48th) offers a disc jockey and
light show as well as party room
suggestions. Radio stations like
KFHX and KXSS also offer DJ
services and equipment rental.
