Students living off campus must cook for themselves to exist. For some students, this could be a first and they must deal with the initial experience of high food prices, recipes, “slaving over a hot stove, and clean up. Through trial and error, most stu- dents survive after eating their own cooking and some even learn to en- joy it. Of course there are some cir- cumstances when one roommate, be it spouse or friend, is a terrific cook which comes in handy. Some common meals KSC stu- dents indulge in are casseroles, sandwiches, TV dinners, frozen pizza and many other quick, easy- to-fix entrees. When the same food starts get- ting students down, be it their own cooking or ARA Food Service, Kearney offers a variety of restau- rants to satisfy the appetite at a wide range of prices. For a quick bite to eat, fast food places like Taco John's, Sehnert's Bakery and Wendy's are the most popular. Also, Peppermill, Sax's and God- father’s Pizza are common for a meal out. -by Denise Harrington Coed Susan Reiser of Valentine, displays her cooking talents (Photo by Nancy Calahan).

Coming Together The Union begins with U One of the busiest places on campus is the Memorial Student Union. Students find themselves at the union for several reasons: to attend meetings, to play pool, to watch TV, to get a quick snack, or just to relax between classes. A favorite place for students to congregate is the Blue and Gold Lounge. Here chairs, couches and huge pillows are placed in an informal setting where students can study, read or relax. They can even listen to their favorite music, which is channeled into the lounge and throughout the union by several speakers placed inside the building. When students tire of eating at the Nebraskan, they can come to the snack bar, recently renamed Loper’s Point, for a change. Beginning this year, students can receive $1.50 worth of food at Loper’s Point with their Validine meal card. The Validine service was initiated at the union last spring, but students had to sign up to eat at least a half hour in advance. This year students can come anytime between 1:30 and 4:00 p.m. The number of Validine’s served during the fall has risen from 50 to over 200 students. The union is exactly what its name implies: a gather- ing place for students and organizations. As the center” of KSC’s social life, the union offers, through various programs and committees, an opportunity for students to become actively involved in college life. --Connie Custer The toper's Point giues quick, good service (Photo by Paula Kite).
