Area merchants help students
battle end-oi-semester stress
By Kim Beavers
Staff Reporter
Students knee-deep in homework
during finals week seek solitude in a
variety of ways,
DeDee Hunt, a freshman fashion
merchandising major and employee at
Ami go's downtown restaurant, said,
"Students come into Amigo's to get a
break from studying and to release
their frustrations."
Perkins has been busy and expects
10 to 12 studiers a night.
"During the evening over bar (exam)
rush, people come in from 9 p.m. and
after with their books and sit for hours
at a time," said Scott Fortner, a waiter
at Perkins. "I've had a table where this
guy studied from when I came on at 10
'till when I got off. . . at 3."
Perkins had a special during dead
week for all-you-can-eat French toast
for $1.99 and all-you-can-eat pancakes
for 99 cents.
U-Stop, at 17th and Q streets, has
sold more cigarettes and coffee lately.
Jeff Stafford, a junior in advertising
at UNL, sid he finds peace by ordering
a Domino's pizza.
"I'll have to be honest and say I was
in touch with Domino's at least three
times during dead week around 12:30
a.m. Who knows how many pizzas I'll
devour during finals?"
- Roxanne Burbach, a' senior in
communications and employee at TCBY
has seen an increase in business at
TCBY this past week.
"Waffle-Cone Wednesday is a special
that we have every week during the,
school year, but with finals week and
the weather we've been having, our
business seems to be much greater,"
Burbach said.
"Study breaks are real big at TCBY
too. People are in here a great deal
from nine o'clock on," Burbach said.
Brian Hill, a freshman, said "I like to
go get ice cream (usually TCBY) or get
food at Amigo's, Arby's, or Burger King.
My study breaks usually take place
around 12:00 a.m.,Transcendential med
itation is r.lso a method I use to release
my frustrations."
Aid
in surviving finals week
Hundreds of UNL parents send students packages of goodies
By Linda Holmes

Some UNL students won't have to go
to a local convenience store to survive
finals. Their parents already bought
munchies for them.
Parents of 460 students sent $10 to
the Student Alumni Association for a
NUPrenne Finals Week Survival Pack

Caps and gowns will be distributed

The ceremony is open to the public.
O Students living in residence halls

O The East and Nebraska unions
will have extended hours during finals

The East Union will be open until
midnight Monday through Wednesday
and until 10:30 p.m. on Thursday. The
Terrace Meeting Room and North 40
Bowling Alley will close at the regular

week, said John Bergmeyer, chairman
for the project.
This is the first year the package,
which contains candy, coffee, a pen,
and cheese and crackers, was called
NUPrenne. In previous years it was
called the Finals Week Survival Package.
Bergmeyer said more parents buy
the packages in the' fall than in the
spring. He said he thought parents are
in more of a giving mood during the
holidays. He said more parents of
freshmen and sophomores buy the
packages than parents of upperclass
men. The Student Alumni Association is
the only organization on campus that
sells the packages, he said. Organiza-
tions nationwide also sell survival
packages for finals week, but SAA
brings the money back to the univer
sity, he said.
Dan Hoffman, SAA treasurer, said
money from the survival packages goes
back into the SAA general fund and is
used for other programs that SAA spon
sors, such as Senior Send-off and Scho
larship Awareness Week.
Tom C. Macy, a sophomore, said he
received one of the packages and this
semester's candy assortment looked
better than those of other semesters.
BevA. Paul, a junior said she thought
the package looked good.
"I'm not sure if it was good or not,"
she said. "Somebody else ate it all."
