But soon that will all be over, and many students w ill be faced with three weeks of vacation lime and nothing to do with it. If this is you, here isa list of activities specifically designed to keep exam and term-paper weary minds occu pied during vacation. 1. Read a book. Just kidding. What I meant to say was, watch a lot of TV. After all, it all will be very good TV because Americans arc the most experienced and knowledgeable television viewers in the w orld and will settle for nothing but the best. So you'll be able to spend your vacation hours in large blocks ol quality viewing. But remember il you see something bad. don't stand for it. You’re an American. 2. Extend seasonal feelings of good will to the people of the Soviet Union. Even Mario Thomas likes them now,so I’m confident that it’s sale. But be wary. ______ 3. Be bored a lot. This is especially important during the last week or so of break. If you do nothing bulfunandcxcil ing things for the entire three weeks, die return to Lincoln’s “low stress factor’’ will pul you at great risk of acquiring the social bends. And there is no such dung as a social decompression cham ber. 4. Call Santa at his new 900 number and attempt to engage him in phone sex. lends to fun-rilled Christmas break a oo^j 5. Create your own fear and loathing. When you sec high school stu dents, make sure that they arc aware of the fact that you arc on break for a solid three weeks, compared to their measly one and a half or so. Then make sure that they fully understand the horrify ing rigors of college life - daily nine hour study sessions, forty-five page term papers, bi-weekly pre exam all-nighters, etc. — which nc ccssilalc this discrepancy in vaca tion time. In other words, first make them envy you, and then scare them to death for doing so. It'll be fun, and I know you’re all very good at this sort of thing. 6. Count Scrooges. Keep a running mental total of how many stinky old Scrooges are converted to the true spirit of Christmas in commercials, sit coms, movies or anywhere else you can find them. Ves, I reali/e that starling this late in the season w ill not allow a complete total, but David Frana/ Dally Nabraakan CTfey /*****/..

The day before Christmas, enter a large department store, get a cart and fill it with every item you can find missing a price tag (remove a lew if necessary). Purchase all of these things. Then the day after Christmas, return all ol them, al ter having lost your receipt.. day ■Swc/r/y ■ one.„. yyJTl Search p<?r Sy o/oOSS)'/ £/ *</ sr?<? so OS}, /? /T}ay J,o doo /o+e. *" ' \ v_-l X.

I was watching MTV’s exciting new “Mouth to Mouth" program the other day, and one of the callers happened to be from Lincoln. The first thing she said was that she thinks Lincoln is a horrible, boring place to be. The first thing I almost said was “Gee/, even people who can stand to watch MTV think that Lincoln is a horrible, boring place to be,” but immediately realized that I was watching MTV too. However, I have come to the conclusion, in my two and a half years at the University of Nc braska-Lineoln, that there are j e many different kinds of people 9 who think that Lincoln is a hor rible, boring place to be. So, if you’re going to be out of town over Christmas break, enjoy it (but beware of the bends). Happy Holidays. Finals week survival guide Bv Lisa Donovan SijII Reporter___ Vjyarin, cola, and hall-warmed pi//a are nol slocking slullers, hul they’re the gixulies that carry many University of Nebraska-Lincoln stu dents through finals week. Consider the following a survival guide: Can’t keep your eyes open and nol a single toothpick can be found amongst the typing paper, syringes and empty cans? Have no fear, for the local pharmacies arc near. Vivarin, No-do/, and other stimu lants arc available at both the Ne braska Bookstore and University Bookstore. But remember to read the directions - vibrating hysterically during an art history final is nol aes thetically pleasing. Sneaking of works of art, many local pizza joints arc just ready and rarin’ to fix up a death disc for starv ing, suffering students wifh tinalidis. Pizza Shuttle, at 230 N. 17th St , will not have extended hours during I inals week, but will slay open until 2 a.m. don’t think students want a pizza past that time,” said Jared Bennett, a prep cook and delivery driver. So if students w'anl a Pizza Shuttle pizza delivered before 2 a.m., they can call 475-6363. In an effort lo help students during one ol the toughest times of Ihe aca demic year, Pontillo’s Pizzeria, at 1246 Q Si., is extending its order taking and delivery hours from I a.m. lo 1:30 a.m. According to Tim Kloplenslein, manager, Pontillo’s is trying to stay open for students in residence halls, fraternities and sororities who arc slaying up late to study, lo place an order for delivery or pick-up, call 475-1246. Steve Hadrick, manager ol God la ther’s Pizza said the business is trying lo help out students in a diflcrent way. According to Hadrick, the pizza parlor, located at 1209 Q St., will use employees from different stores so that student employees will have time off to study. In order to have a pizza delivered before 11 p.m., call 474-6000. And as the song, ‘Domino’s pizza delivers . . .,” students arc being subliminally seduced to call 476 0787, order and have it delivered, free of charge. Avoid the noid and order before 2 a.m. So now the students know the food can come lo them, but they should know they can go to the food - 24 hours a day. Not only is it a different atmosphere, but it gels the student away from their stinky, book-in Icsial slmly area. According to Jim Gon/ale/., gen eral manager of Perkins at 4750 “O” St., more students come in this time of year id study during the early morning hours -- midnight to 6 a.m. Although they’re studying, Gon/ale/ says the students not only study but eat lixi, so it dixjsn’t bother him or hurt business. Roberta Morgan, manager of Denny’s at 900 R St., said that there isn't an increased number of students frequenting the establishment during dead and finals week. The best times for quiet study at Denny’s, Gon/ale/ said, is to come in Sunday through Tuesday, between the hours of 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. “Customer flow is pretty heavy from Wednesday on,’’ she said. Although both Morgan and Gon/ale/ agree that students don’t get s|>ccial treatment at their rcsuiu rants, they respect the students right to quiet study. “We try to keep it so they have it quiet.” Morgan said. “We put them in a secluded place where it’s quiet and they won’t be bothered.” Stormic’s Kitchen, with its con venient hours and location, is just what the student taking finals or See SURVIVAL on 14 f” Holiday Pay! . 1% |.
