Students, bewarel Life cn a university campus
tends to numb cr.e's sense of reality; to shelter
the ears from social issues; to shield one's eyes
from the "red world" beyond the lecture hails.
The following information is provided as a safe
guard from tht loss of touch with reality, which
seems to come with the territory.
How many of us will complete our stay at UNL
without even exploring its suburb (called "Lin
coln")? The town has plenty of sights to see, and
most are available to us day after day, all year
long. Let's begin with the great outdoors.
Parks
Lincoln has more than 5,000 acres of parks,
with swimming pools, golf courses . . .OX, OK, I'll
save it for April. But just in case we get one more
taste of winter this year, the parks can be just as
fun in the winter as in the summer. Check out
Wilderness Park, with over 1,400 acres just
brimming with cross-country ski trails. Holmes
Park has skiing as well as ice skating and sled
ding. It also has the Kyde Memorial Observatory
for star gazing. Pioneers Park offeres a great
toboggan run, as well as an area to ski.
Art Galleries '"
Want to stay inside? The "Star City" has sev
eral art galleries and exhibitions. The Elder Art
Gallery, jon the Nebraska .Wesleyan University
campus, features artwork by Wesleysn University
faculty and students.
