(jetting people to talk about true love
and marriage is even tougher unless
you catch them just at the right
moment.
Tnfortunately, the moment rarely
lasts for more than 15 minutes and can
only be detected by a team consisting
of a psychologist, economist, chef and
three sensitive talk show hosts with
excessive emotional baggage.
There is one exception: folks don't
mind talking about marriage, life,
babies, coffee in the morning before
church and general responsible living
when they have a mouthful of beer.
Somewhere between birth, marriage
and that truth serum is O'Rourke's.
Smiling Kathleen Neary, president
of Nebraska Young Democrats usually
dates Republicans.
On a Friday afternoon, responsible
living was far from Neary's mind, but
when the question of what makes a
good marriage partner was posed, she
was an eager participant.
"Integrity, diligence, honesty and
money of course," Neary deemed neces
sary for a hardcore commitment. She
said that there aren't many men her
type, and she won't sacrifice her career
for marriage. She also said she wants to
many someone within her party affilia
tion. Ken Libby, president of the Nebraska
Association of Residence Halls knows
what he wants.
"Dependability, faithful, very attrac
tive and intellectual," Libby said with
a stern look and a firm grip on his glass.
He said he is ready to marry when he
finds the right woman, but won't com
mit until he is financially set. Libby is a
junior business administration major.
Janette Vondruska, a junior French
and German major, wants a man of the
"coffee generation."
"Intelligent, and a good sense of
humor are important," Vondruska said.
"He must be active and very aware of
his surroundings.
He must be a doer."
While Vondruska said she is looking
forward to marriage somewhere around
the age of 25, Frank Smutniak, a senior
electrical engineering major, balked
when the question of age was posed.
As he thought, he pulled hard on his
cigarette and stared into a thick cloud.
"30 . . .," he said slowly, then, ". . . 32
. . . 34." By then his cherry was a
straining fire hazard.
Smutniak, while not in a hurry, said
he was looking for an intelligent, out
spoken girl with a sense of humor.
Chris Scudder, president of the ASUN
senate and a senior English major,
doesn't care. '
"He can beat me, he can whip me
as long as he's rich."
Two people questioned had thought
they made the right decisions prior to
their previous marriages.
Lisa Shields, a senior speech path
ology major, said she just wants "some
body opposite of my ex-husband."
The other second timer, a graduate
student who asked to remain anonym
ous, has readjusted his priorities.
"She should have lots of money, a
good set of values, nice brains
actually, not very smart and all her real
teeth," he said.
Notoriously, the bartender knows
all. It may be true that Bob Brodie,
behind the bar at O'Rourke's, is ex
perienced in psychology, economics
and cooking. And by rumor, Phil Dona
hue is his god.
Brodie listed his priorities in a
hierarchy of four. "First, she must be a
good second baseman so we can make a
good double play combination," he
said. "Second, likes to read Raymond
Chandler. Third, her father should own
a trout stream or a brewery. And fourth,
she must weigh less than I."
Receptions reflect lifestyle
Today's newlyweds have the option
of creating a reception that can reflect
their future lifestyle. It can be elegant
or casual and low key. Whatever the
plans, keep in mind that all the guests
should be made to feel comfortable.
Bridal Originals of New York sug
gests that before choosing a site, it is
best to draw up a budget. Traditionally,
the bride's parents have paid for the
reception, but that rule is frequently
altered depending upon financial cir
cumstances. Sometimes the bride and
groom share expenses.
When discussing reservations, be
certain to have all pertinent informa
tion such as specific dates, times,
expected number of guests and pre-
