Residence halls me games GAMES from page 1 -cade games now is spent on home video game systems such as Nintendo and Sega. Tom Fowler, founder of TC Entertainment, said home video game systems were not as much of a consideration as a recent trend of decreased arcade game playing. “The social level is different,” Fowler said. “Students used to hang out in arcades. Now they just hang out in their dorm rooms.” Thfr game rooms will still offer pool, pingpong and other non-arcade games owned by the university, but students may now have to rent game equipment from the front desks of the residence hails. In addition, the game rooms would be left unsupervised. Robert Kelley, a senior biology major living at Abel, said that would be a bad idea. “I know there’s a rule at Abel not to have food or drink in die game room,” Kelley said. “With no one there, there’s nothing stopping someone from possibly messing up a table.” Mark Dutiel, manager of the Harper snack bar, said a better system might be to rent out equipment for the games through the snack bar. a -■— The social level is differ ent. Students used to hang out in arcades. Now they just hang out in their dormm rooms.” Tom Fowler founder of TC Entertainment Dutiel said this would eliminate the problems of students having to walk out of their way in winter weather to get rental equipment for a game of pool. “With our employees around, it would also make sure there’s someone watching the game room,” Dutiel said. Dutiel is currently proposing the idea to Food Service for the spring semester. UNL offers budgeting seminar By Kasey Kerber Senior Reporter In a season dominated by the jingle of change and rustle of cash, the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid is offering a seminar to help students budget , their money and responsibly use credit cards. The half-hour seminar will be Dec. 5 at the Nebraska Union. It will examine two main financial con cerns of students: budgeting and die advan tages and disadvantages of credit. Marty Habrock, outreach specialist for the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid, said the seminar was originally offered to student groups by request. But demand from off-campus students and from students whose organizations did not request the seminar has encouraged the office to set up an open seminar for any stu dents who wanted to attend, Habrock said. “We hope to reach as many students as possible,” he said. The seminar will first focus on budget ing. Habrock said students will receive a budget worksheet that will enable them to more closely examine their expenditures, resources ami savings. “It sort of duals as a tracking sheet for students who haven’t kept up with their budget,” Habrocksaid. The second part of the seminar will fo cus on managing credit. pr Habrock said this was important because credit-card use typically increases during the holiday season. “If they take until April to pay off their purchases, they’ll have paid a substantial amount in interest — nearly double,” Habrock said. Credit-card topics to be discussed in clude establishing a credit line, high-inter est rates and avoiding credit-card debt. Depending on the success of the semi nar, additional seminars might be offered, Habrocksaid. ,, ' j “We don’t know at this point,” Habrock said. “Monthly, once each semester — whatever the student demand is for it” The men of Alpha Tan Omega wish you a safe and happy holiday.
