List of activities
By Mark Lage
Staff Reporter
I know that right now all of you
are loaded down and preoccupied
with final cxam/end-of-thc-sc
mester stress. 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.

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

it may also keep the number at a
level which the human mind can
comprehend.
7. Cause trouble at a large,
crowded department store.
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..

X. Be a scumbag.
Pick at least one week during
break for w hich you do not bathe or
change clothes once. This proba
bly won’t do much for you, I just
get the feeling sometimes that
there are w ay UK) many people out
there who have never allowed this
to happen to themselves.

10. (Jet as far away from Lin
coln as you can.
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
