Restaurants, bars land to survival SURVIVAL from Page 11 dercd. Located at the north end ofUNL’s city campus, at 1640 Holdregc St., Stormie’s is open from 11 p.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Saturday and closes at 7 a.m. or 8 a.m. And when one is on the borderline -- between surviving and celebrating, the local bars fit the bill, or - if you j will - the tab. According to Doug McCleese, co owner of O’Rourke’s Tavern there’s an increased number of students who study at the bar, but it's not a huge increase. Jackie Podraza, a bartender at the ! Brass Rail, said she sees the same number of students come in all the lime and there is little to no increase.

I I_ John Bruce/ Daily Nebraskan New Year's Resolutions: Meant to be kept, but made to be broken By Kelly Anders Staff Reporter That time again approacheth, folks. Time to make promises with no intention whatsoever of making good on them. If this sounds cynical, good. It's meant to. 9 Few people, if any, make New' Years’ resolutions and keep them. So why bother making them? Sure, people make all these pledges to lose those or be more like so-and-so with genuine intentions of carrying them through. But after a week or two, these vows fall to the wayside. No one’s exempt from it - cvcry onc’s done it at one time or another. And after talking to people of all ages and numerous occupations around town it seems most people cither aren’t even attempting to make promises they know- they can’t keep or, if they are they’re doing so w ith out taking themselves too seriously. For the past week. Fvc been ask ing whomever seemed at all intrigu ing or unbelievably dull the same questions: “How do you feel about New Years’ Resolutions? IX) you have any?” Boy oh boy, the looks I got. No mailer what the age or background, the response was identical. First a split second ol shock, as if they felt invaded, like their faults were some how apparent to the naked eye. Then the notorious look of chagrin regis tered, followed by a sheepish laugh After going through all these contor tions people cither responded or walked away. Responses ranged from an elderly woman’s reply that she’s4 'a good little girl with no faults to fix ’ ’ to “yeah, sell control ’' from a construction worker busy painting skinny orange lines in a downtown alley. What can possibly be attributed to this incredible passivity? Is the good ole vow becoming extinct?- Are people losing the willpower they were so well-endowed with in years past? Maybe all of these possibilities are the ease. Or none of them. Resolutions, it seems, have be come more of a tradition than serious, heart-felt promises. People make them to be sentimental, nostalgic and “in,” not because they mean them. Think about it -* w'ho is going to stop saying this, or become more like that within the space of one year? Realis tically, an extreme minority (if any one at all). There’s nothing wrong with a little senumentality, nostalgia or aware ness of one's faults. But make the “promises” light, have some fun with them . For those who plan to keep them, best w ishes. As for those who don't, don’t lie to yourself about your intentions. Face them, and have fun w ith w hat you choose. Remember — the new year is a lime for fresh starts, not new burdens. You Are Always A Winner II ith The < Miami * I irport.
