I r or some, the Star City
I isn’t too bad for break
By Ann Stack
Senior Reporter
Spring break ^atiipe for sunbath
ing, skiing, sipping margaritas and ...
shopping at Gateway Mall?
For some, that’s the reality —
spring break, Lincoln-style.
During the week of March 23-30,
the UNL campus will be devoid of stu
dents. Several of those students could
be basking in the rays on a beach
somewhere, or sliding down a
mountainside, or bungee-jumping or
hang-gliding or even simply shopping
— somewhere other than Lincoln.
But while many students will be
spending time at home with family or
vacationing somewhere else, there will
still be plenty of students hanging out
around town.
“I’m staying here —-1 don’t have
any money to go home,” said Tony
Brower, an architecture graduate stu
dent from Brooklyn, N.Y. “I have lots
of projects to wok on, so that will keep
me busy.”
Julie Baum, a sophomore finance
major, transferred to UNL from
Momingside College in Sioux City,
Iowa, last semester, originally trom
Lincoln, Baum spent spring break last
year in town checking out UNL be
fore transferring. This year, she will
stay here again,. * »l
- “I think it will be really boring; but
cheap,” she said. “Who knows? It
might turn out that there are other
people here to do stuff with.”
Another student from Lincoln who
will be staying home is junior nutri
tion major Becky Vahle.
“I’m just going to try and work as
many hours as I can,” she said. Vahle
is a processor at Allied Group Insur
ance Companies.
“The weekend after spring break,
before we come back to school, my
boyfriend might take me to Kansas
City or Minneapolis to shop,” she said,
“but since I’m not taking a spring
break, he’s taking me to visit his par
ents in Montana and South Dakota.
Of course, for others, spring break
is a much-needed reprieve from Lin
coln, no matter where they are going.
“I’m getting out of here,” senior
education major Elizabeth Krause
said. “Even if it’s just to go home to
North Platte.”

Lincoln has
potential for
vacation fun
BRET SCHULTE is a junior En
glish major and a Daily Nebras
kan staff reporter.
Why go to Mazatlan? Spring
fun is just around the comer.
But not everyone has the chance
to flee for the border. So, if your
car has recently dropped its trans
mission somewhere off campus, or
Friday night self-destruction has
depleted your checking account to
the point where you can’t afford
your Ramen noodle habit, fear not
— fun abounds right here in this
very town.
Lincoln, consistently over
looked as a spring break mecca, is
a virtual treasure trove of tourist
excess.
Leading me list is tne tamed
American Historical Society of
Germans from Russia Museum (in
no way associated with the Eskimo
League of Houston). The Germans
from Russia museum, 631 D St.,
offers a library and map collection
along with genealogical informa
tion resources.
If reliving painful ancestry isn’t
your thing, check out the Lincoln
Children’s Museum in Lincoln
Square. Purported as “a place to
touch, discover and learn,” the
Children’s Museum is a wonder
ful opportunity to recount hor
mone-inspirdd' attempts of those
very concepts—all the while rev
eling in prepubescent glory.
Lincoln’s Historic Haymarket
District lays claim to a variety of
restaurants, galleries and unique
gift shops, but chances are if you
can’t scrape together enough cash
to cross the river, you won’t be
spending too much time on fine
dining or acquiring obscure Mid
western knickknacks.
If you haven’t already visited
the world’s only National Museum
of Roller Skating, 4730 South SL,
spring break will provide an ideal
opportunity. This one-of-a-kind
cultural experience boasts historic
and modem perspectives of roller
skating, including films, costumes
and unquestionably undervalued
experimental skate artwork.
For the nature lover, Lincoln is
crisscrossed with more than 50
miles of hiking ami biking trails.
Another point of interest in
cludes the Historic Haymarket’s
Iron Horse Park which features the
only 3-dimensional mural in the
city — and the state!
Pioneers Park Nature Center,
aside from its scenic location, of
fers bridle trails and duck ponds for
nature buffs as well.
In the unlikely event that a skat
ing museum, astronomy, or duck
ponds aren’t of interest, go to
Omaha.
