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.
McCleese said, “. . .but you can .
sure tell when finals arc over.”

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.
