Friday, January 17, 1986 Daily Nebraskan 'All-you-can-eaf Sunday suppers, activities to be offered at union By Janis Lovitt Staff Reporter An "all you can eat" Sunday supper will be served from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Union Square in the Nebraska Union. The meal begins a service that will continue through late March on a trial basis, said Ron Pushcar, director of the Nebraska Union Food Service. The Nebraska Union Food Service Committee of the Nebraska Union Board began planning the supper four months ago to draw students to the union on Sundays. Bank beach boots city's downtown By Jen Deselms Staff Reporter A sandy beach. . .golden rays of sun shine. . .a sand volleyball game. It's not Daytona it's the Havelock Bank Beach. Updowntowners, a group that pro motes downtown, will transform the new Havelock Bank drive-through, 14th and M streets, into a one-day beach vacationland for Lincoln residents. The beach party will be Jan. 23 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Carol Jess, executive director of the Downtown Lincoln Association, said sand will be trucked into the drive-through and beach music will be played to set the tone of the party. She said there will be volleyball and shuffleboard games. Casual clo thing from Joy and Co. will be modeled. The Updowntowners also have spon sored parties on the plaza at NBC Bank, a rooftop party on the Centrum Mall and a treasure hunt with the State His torical Society. The Updowntowners helped organize the Star City Holiday Parade on Dec. 7 in downtown Lincoln. Updowntowners is a volunteer auxil iary group of the Downtown Lincoln Association. Jess said Updowntowners, modeled after downtown groups in Syr acuse, N.Y., and Cincinnati was formed almost two years ago. Jess said the group has had benefits for the Lincoln Food Bank, the Neb raska affiliate of the National Society to Prevent Blindness and the YMCA Child Care Program. This year, the group plans to help organize and have the second Star City Holiday Parade and the Flatwater Art Festival, she said. The group will plan the rest of the year's activities at their January meeting. Janelle Schroff, a member of Up downtowners, said the group helps promote downtown by having social events to help make people aware of what Lincoln has to offer. She said many people don't realize all the low cost entertainment available. Enter tainment in the Haymarket area and on UNL campus is often overlooked, she said. Schroff said her volunteer work with the group takes three or four hours a month. Schroff said the Updowntowners are dedicated to encouraging the social and cultural growth of Lincoln. She said she doesn't want to see Lincoln's downtown decay like Omaha's down town. Chuck Clifford, member of the Up downtowners Steering Committee, said he joined the group to help make Lin coln's downtown area the best. He said that after working in downtown Lin coln he needed to get involved in the downtown community. Clifford said the Updowntowners is a fun, spirit-oriented group. The group has a meeting and a social event each month. He said the social gatherings have no admission cost to the public. Updowntowners has 250 members. The group is open to all, and yearly membership fees are $15. Heritage event set The Nebraska Martin Luther King Holiday Commission will sponsor a Nebraska Heritage Celebration on Sun day. The event is set for 2 p.m. in the Rotunda of the State Capitol. The day's agenda includes exhibi tions by the Pilgrim Baptist Church Choir of Omaha and the Folklorico Dance Troupe from the Hispanic Ccia munity Center of Lincoln. Daryl Swanson, director of the Ne braska Union, said something had to make it feasible to keep the union open on weekends. A Sunday supper, which students and staff suggested, seemed to be the best solution, he said. Residence hall food services don't serve a Sunday evening meal, so the supper is aimed at students living on campus, Pushcar said. The supper, which won't cost more than $3, will give students an inexpensive meal on campus, he said. Besides the suppers, the union will provide other activities. For example, Pushcar said, this Sunday students can eat chili, nachos and desserts while watching "60 Minutes." Special suppers for the Super Bowl and a folk singer are planned as are a pancake feed and spaghetti supper, Pushcar said. If the Sunday suppers succeed, Pushcar said, they will continue. Success means serving 500 people each Sunday, he said. I might take a couple of months to reach that number," Pushcar said. "But we're just experimenting." Tony Coe, Abel Hall president, said the meal may be a good idea, but many students haven't heard about it. None theless, Coe said, the meal should be popular for residence hall students. However, Pete Castellano, RHA vice president, said he isn't sure students will go to the suppers. "Students enjoy the chance to get downtown," he said. Information about each Sunday sup per will be posted before the meal in the union and published in the Daily Nebraskan.
