The Lincoln College Student Services office is offering a finals
kickoff breakfast for students on Monday from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. in
the cafeteria at the Meyer-Evans Student Center. The late-night,
full-course buffet will include sausage patties, biscuits and gravy,
iced cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, and cold cereal. Jim Bixby, dean
of student services, says the meal will help students with their
studies. "A majority of our students are up studying at that time,
so we thought it would be a helpful way to give them a break, get
something to eat and relax," he said.
Bixby said he would like to acknowledge the help of Bridgett
Thomas, Judy Horn, Steve Snodgrass, Judy Atteberry, John
Stoltzenburg, Michelle Bauer and the resident hall counselors for
the production and cleanup of this event.

The Lincoln College library also helps students with longer
hours. June Burke, head librarian, says the college extends library
hours the two weeks before and the week of finals. The staff helps
students Sunday through Thursday of each week until 11 p.m. and
usually beyond that time, as well as being open four hours on
Saturdays.
"On Friday, Dec. 1, after the snow-ice storm, when classes were
canceled, the library was open and helped students with research
papers and other final projects," said Burke. "The college was lucky
because it had power." Throughout the day, many students used the
library computers and various print materials for their assignments.
