'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.
