Tickets on sale Saturday
for Stevie Nicks' concert
Stevie Nicks, former vocalist for Fleetwood
Mac and platinum-selling solo artist, will per
form in the Bob Devaney Sports Center on April
20 at 7:30 p.m.
Chris Amberg, University Programs Council
concert coordinator, said tickets for the concert
will go on sale this Saturday. To avoid the lines
that lasted for days in front of the Nebraska
Union when Bruce Springsteen tickets went on
sale in 1984, UPC will issue "roll tickets."
The "roll ticket" policy, which was imple
mented when Daryl Hall and John Oates per
formed at the sports center last spring, assigns
each person a place in line the morning tickets
go on sale at the Nebraska Union, Amberg said.
In this case, "roll tickets" will be distributed
in the union Thursday from 3 to 5 p.m. The
location of distribution will be posted in the
union at 2:30 p.m. Thursday.
People with roll tickets then line up in front of
the union from 8 to 9 a.m. Saturday to assume
their proper place in line. Until this time, no
lines or camping will be permitted on union
grounds, Amberg said.
Ticket prices will be $14 and $15, and the
tickets also will be available at Pickles Records,
Dirt Cheap and all Brandeis locations.
Hawn's 'Wildcats' is light,
funny, but don't expect depth
By Kris Leach
Staff Reporter
Goldie Hawn's new movie, "Wildcats," follows
the same lines as her previous movies. It's funny
and light, but lacks depth and development of
character.
Movie Review
The plot is simple and straight forward. Hawn
must tame and train the inner-city Central High
School football team, the Wildcats.
As the movie opens, Hawn portrays a track
coach at an obviously well-to-do uptown high
school who was taught every aspect of football by
her father. Her love of the game motivites her to
ask for the junior varsity coach position.
Turned down by the head coach, Stacey
Keach, she accepts an offer to coach the varsity
football team of the not-so-popular and poorly
organized Central High.
Spurred by the chauvanist attitudes of the
coach and administration, she accepts the job
and vows to prove them all wrong.
This is no simple task and it becomes hilar
iously apparent when Hawn arrives at the park
ing lot of the dilapidated old school. Bravely, she
enters the building only to be welcomed by two
doberman dogs who have no intention of being
friendly. Escaping into the principle's office, she
meets the football team, wearing only their foot
ball helmets.
But perseverance and the ability to beat the
team at their own game finally wins the team
over to her side.
Unfortunately, life at home is no bed of roses
either. Her ex-husband, who is somewhat of a
snob and a bigot, thinks Goldie's job is interfer
ing with the development of their two children. A
custody fight ensues.
Although no deep relationships form, the film
has many interesting characters such as the
"Refrigerator" of the football team and the ex
hubby's new girlfriend. AH of the characters join
together to create an atmosphere of funny, light
hearted moments.
Rated R for some rough language and nudity,
Wildcats is highly recommended for Goldie
Hawn fans and simply recommended for those
seeking some light entertainment.

Dahlberg and her muffins.
u
hf dam good -inniuffffiiinij
By Chris Welsch
Copy Desk Chief
I've been compromised by muffins.
Yes folks, this is a journalistic confessional.
About two weeks ago, I was innocently sitting
at the copy desk, whiling away the time by split
ting infinitives when a statuesque woman came
into the office and called my name. I met her at
the door. She dropped a bag of muffins and a
business card into my hands and left.
Pining Reviews
I broke into a cold sweat. "What have I done?"
I asked. If I eat the muffins my objectivity will be
forever tainted. Never again will I be able to
shield my witticisms with the First Amendment
without shame.
I did eat those muffins. And what's worse, I'm
writing about them. How can I flaunt journalistic
convention so blatantly, you ask?
First, I found an obscure entry in the Daily
Nebraskan bylaws that allows free eating in the
pursuit of truth. Secondly, I was hungry. Thirdly,
these muffins are worth the ink.
After wrestling with my conscience for two
weeks and losing on points, I went down to
Do-biz, 120 N. 14th St., to further investigate.
Mary Kay Dahlberg, the manager, said the
idea formuffins came from a story in USA Today.
Muffins, it appears, are trendy.
Owner Curt Olson concocted a recipe the way
only he can. Using real butter, butter milk, eggs
and other fat-filled stuff, he created some pretty
darn good muffins.
They cost 79 cents and come in blueberry,
bran or caramel nut flavors. The first batch I
tasted had been out of the oven several hours
and were a little too doughy and not quite sweet
enough.
The second time, however, was the charm.
I favor blueberry. The consistency was just
right, and the whole blueberries were delicious.
The bran muffin tastes wholesome and healthy,
but definitely edible. Dahlberg said, surprisingly
enough, bran muffins sell the best.
The caramel-nut muffins have a delicious
crust of brown sugar and nuts, but are a little
bland in the bottom.
However good Do-biz's muffins are, I know
some better. Daily Nebraskan editorialist Jim
Rogers is also a heck of a baker. His apple
muffins can't be beat and they illustrate the
one flaw of Do-biz muffins. Rogers' apple muffins
are perfectly small creatures, weighing perhaps
2 to 3 ounces. Do-biz makes big 6-ounce muffins.
The size makes them economical, but unwieldy.
That is a minor flaw.
I don't want other bakeries to get the idea
that just because they might be nice enough to
give a hard-working food writer a bite to eat that
he might review them. But it can't hurt.
I cringe at the thought of writing about the
new McD.LT. in the same article with muffins,
but I really feel the public needs to know. The
truth isn't always pretty.
I have a few rules about fast food eating. The
McD.L.T. breaks one of the most sacred. It
doesn't come complete.
Fast foods should be made for the consumer
on the go, but the McD.LT. comes in a rectangu
lar contraption. You open it up. On one side is
the lettuce, mayo, tomato, cheese ketchup, pick
les and onions. On the other is the "whole beef
patty" on a bun. You pick up the "whole beef
patty" and put it on the other junk, or vice versa,
then you eat it. By separating the two sides,
McDonald's says, the lettuce, et al, is kept fresh.
Needless to say, this transference is not con
ducive to eating on the run. It's an unnecessary
and, in my mind, offensive hassle.
Once you have this burger together, you'll find
it overburdened with lettuce and mayo. In fact,
after eating a McD.LT., I had nightmares about
losing my face in a sea of shredded lettuce and
gooey white mayonnaise.
The McD.LT. is not nearly as good as a Wen
dy's single, which has most or all of the ingre
dients, and does not, as McDonald's suggests,
lose its flavor or freshness .because it is put
together before you get it.
