Barricades close off lanes along 17th Street so the Pub
lic Works and Utilities Construction Engineering Depart
ment can work on a storm sewer project. 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.
