A department representative said the street should be open by Satur day’s UNL football game. City street construction may be near completion By Adam T. Branting Staff Reporter Construction on Lincoln streets may have turned some intersec tions into obstacle courses, but transportation officials say repairs should be completed by the end of this month. Workers tried to finish imyor streets before school and football started, but this year there were “quite a few," said Kelly Fleck meyer, a city transportation traffic engineer. Since the beginning of June, city crews have repaired 33 streets. Ten projects remain to be completed, leaving about four to five miles of streets closed, Fieckmeyer said. These projects range from street resurfacing to curb reconstruction and the widening of m<yor arterials and intersections. j Mtyor repairs and underground 1 work near the University of Nebraska Lincoln city campus should be completed within the next week, Fieekmeyer said. On 0 Street, from 17th to 19th streets, the under ground storm sewer is being widened. Water pipes are being laid for the new Lied Center for the Performing Arts on K Street bet een 13th and 17th streets. The amount ot s » et repairs is about the same as last year, said Tom Cast, project engineer for the city of Lincoln. Alternative to junk food: zapped nutritional nibbles By Libby York Staff Reporter Students on the go often don’t take the time to consider the nutritional value of the things they eat. IINL students ate nearly 75,000 Snickers candy bars last year, said Gene Meerkatz, university systems manager of the vending department. "To supplement a meal, a candy bar is good," Meerkatz said, "but I wouldn’t recommend students buying them in stead of a meal.” Scottie Misner, assistant professor of human nutrition and food service management, said nutrition-conscious students hfive many alternatives to vending machines and fast food. Prepackaged soups, for instance, can be prepared in any one of several microwave ovens located near vending machines on City and East campuses. Single-serving fowls, such as fruit cups, yogurt, juices, puddings, tuna, and frozen egg rolls and burritos can be purchased at Iwal grocery stores, Misner said. • Slices of cheese or salami are easy to carry and keep well unrefrigerated for two or three hours, she said. Delicatessens provide carry out ser vice and arc often cheaper than fast food, Misner said. Combined with a carton of milk, she continued, a deli sandwich contains the four fwsi groups. Dorota Mituro, a sophomore fashion design mjyor, said vending machine snacks satisfy her hunger and are fas ter and more convenient than restau rants. Mituro is one of many UNL stu dents whose meals come from vending machines. Nutrition, however, is not something Eric Lane takes lightly. Lane, a senior advertising mjyor, has severe hypo glycemia — a condition where the blood is sugar deficient. He said he thinks students’ carefree attitudes about eating are a nutritional hazard Since being diagnosed, Lane researched food and nutrition. "The consequences of our excessive intakes of alcohol, caffeine and fatly foods are devastating. I’m a living example of someone who followed that lifestyle for too long," said Lane, who is now (in a strict macrobiotic diet, which allows no meat, poultry, dairy products, sugar, caffeine or alcohol. Lane said he has noticed that pool eating habits have a "large impact on grades and daily life. Some people have to lake naps just to get through the day." Misner said other consequences ol poor nutritional diets include fatigue, apathy, lethargy, irritability, anemia and vitamin deficiencies. "V\e have a better sense of well being with a good diet,” Misner said.
