KUliture //Java Break

BY MOLLY MARTIN
With midterms coming up,
Anschutz Library, or "Club
Anschutz," will soon be the place
to see and be seen as students
gather to study and, for some,
to crack open that book for the first
time this semester.
Some students, however, prefer a different environment to study in. They prefer a place where they can listen to music from speakers and not from headphones, or a place where they can drink fresh coffee at 2 a.m. instead of coffee dispensed from a box machine and served in Dixie Cups.
For these students, Java Break,
located at 17 E. 7th St., offers such
options.
Jeremy Hochstedder, a lava Break employee, said about half of the people who come to the 24-hour coffee-and-sandwich shop come to hang out and the other half come to study.
"Going to the library is not the equivalent of coming here to hang out," he said.
Hochstedler said Java Break's
patrons see the shop as a place to socialize with friends and, as the evening progresses, finish their homework in the same laid-back environment.
But Java Break isn't just a night spot. It's also a popular and quiet place to study during the day.
Leslie Schulte, a senior from Wichita, said she studies at Java Break at least every other day. Although she never stays there all night, she sometimes works until 2 a.m., preferring Java Break to the campus libraries.
"The library is just an awful environment." Schulte said.
The shop provides a nice alternative because libraries are places of "repressed silence" Hochstedler said. At Java Break, students can socialize and still do well in their classes.
"Strangers come in here all the time to tell me it helped them pass a test," Hochstedler said.
