By now most incoming fresh
men have been inundated with
advice from older students or grad
uates on how to survive their first
year.
Often times however, some of
the most basic concepts are over
looked, as many well-wishers
choose to focus on tried-and-true
studying techniques or parking
secrets. One

squeezed orange juice, non-fat
yogurt, strawberries and bananas.
The Juice Stop also offers drinks
with different vitamin and herb
blends such as the Smart Blend,
which combines ginkgo boloba and
ginseng. On Fridays students get 50
cents off any smoothie.
Just down the block from the

freshmen
and everyone else on the University
of Nebraska-Lincoln campus can
agree on is that at certain points of
every day, hunger becomes a prior
ity. Then the only real advice
involves what kind of food is avail
able and where one can find it.
Luckily UNL’s Nebraska Union
offers students a number of options
for dietary consumption. But con
sidering the amount of time one is
bound to spend on campus, it is
important to venture past the sanc
tity of the union’s food court in
search of the ever-elusive variety. A
good place to start is Lincoln’s
downtown area.
In the topsy-turvy life of a UNL
student, sleep is about the only
thing that outweighs food on a list
of priorities. Most students just
don’t have time to get up and have a
bowl of Cap’n Crunch anymore
and choose to start their days else
where.
One good place to get a head
start on the day is at the Juice Stop,
1217 Q St. The Juice Stop special
izes in fruit smoothies that are all
natural and made with a combina
tion of fruit, vitamins and herbs.
Their most popular drink, the
Grand Slam, is 24 ounces, costs
that come with cheese
only for $1.99 or egg, cheese
and either sausage, ham or bacon
for $2.49. While Brueggers doesn‘t
have any student discounts, the
store does have a variety of daily
specials.
Generally the size of breakfast
determines the size or necessity of
lunch. The union offers choice cui
sine by Burger King, Subway, the
Oriental Palace and Amigos, and
within blocks of the union there is
another Amigos, a Wendy’s, a
Runza and an Arby’s. Of course just
about everyone knows of the dan
gers of a steady diet of fast food,
mentally and physically speaking,
so once again variety becomes
increasingly attractive.
Just a block or two from the bat
tery of corporate-owned fast food
joints are some places that are sure
to spice things up. Doozy’s, 101 N.
14th St., specializes in hot subs but
also features pizza, salads, cheese
sticks and cookies. The subs are all
oven-baked and come on Doozy’s
special bread.
Across the street and down the
block a bit is George’s Gyros and
Ali Baba Gyros, which serve a
steady supply of Greek cuisine.
Also, Main Street Cafe, 1325 O St.,
serves a variety of traditional and

non-traditional sandwiches, soups,
salads and bread bowls with spe
cials changing daily.
This brings us to dinner, a meal
that can be very different each day,
depending on how a student plans
to spend the evening. For instance,

scholastic activity for the day and
just got a loan refund check, it
might not be a bad idea to stop in to
BW-3, 1328 P St., for some hot
wings and a beer, or to head down
to the Haymarket and get a steak
from Ruby Tuesday, 247 N. Eighth
St.
Of course if there will be a long
night of studying ahead, one may
want to stick to something a bit
lighter. For just $3.49 Spaghetti
Works, 28 N. 12th St., offers an all
you-can-eat salad bar. Also Yiayia’s
Pizza Beer and Wine, 1423 O St., is
great for a filling but light dinner,
with a unique style of thin-crust
pizza and complimentary bread
rolls. Not only that, but one can
choose between foosball, billiards
or a pinball machine for a break
from studying while the pizza
cooks.
Of course if one were to eat out
for breakfast, lunch and dinner, one
inevitably would be very broke in a
matter of weeks, so it’s best to
choose times when eating out is a
necessity. When there’s time to run
home for a meal, the best advice
comes in the form of only three
words - Super Saver supermarket.
