10 Dan Wilson, an undeclared liberal arts major and a deejay at Club UM in Old P.M. Town Tempe, said the club attracted the trendy types. It has always been an alternative club, but now the manage- ment wants a more mainstream crowd, Wilson said. They are pre-yuppies, or whatever that group will be called in 10 years. Wilson said he enjoys his job and believes he possesses insight into other clubs. For instance, Wilson said that many people didn ' t realize the deejay helps sell drinks also. I ' ll play four or five songs I know will pack the floo r. Then I ' ll play something so no one wants to dance, and drink sales will increase, Wilson said. Art Bascomb, an advertising student at ASU and also a Club UM bouncer, called the crowd well-dressed, carefree and looking for a good time after a hard week of sch ool. The club called Asylum at- tracted a crowd characterized as extremely progressive by bouncer doorman Phil Ag- new, an ASU business ing management student. The men look like Robert Smith of the Cure--hair dyed black, black eyeliner, black shirts buttoned up to the neck, and black pants, he said. The women have platinum white or dyed black hair, wear fishnet or black stockings with black skirts or cutoff jeans. And lots of makeup. I mean, you could dig it off with a butter knife. But Agnew emphasized approaching the people rather than stereotyping. They ' re all beautiful people on the inside, no matter how they ' re dressed or what they look like, he said. A long-standing favorite, the Sun Devil House, attracted a more diverse crowd than Asylum. Debbie Raycoske, a physical therapy major and bartender at the Devil House, said that the crowd was hard to classify, except that most were college students. The Devil House also helped contribute to the diversity of the crowd by offering a teen night on Sundays and Tuesdays, Over and Under Night on Fridays, and over 21 on Saturdays. Different nights also attracted different crowds at Max ' s 919 at 919 E. Apache. The crowd is not typical, said barback Gavin Borowiak. It depends on what night it is and what specials are offered? ' On Friday nights, Max ' s offered a jazz happy hour with Diana Lee singing until 9:30 p.m. Then Max ' s deejay Jerry Moran spun Top 40 dance records until 3 am. Classy people come here on weekends, especially for the live jazz, said waitress Mimi Crowder. The weird people come in on Wednesday nights. Wednesday nights, Max ' s was transformed into Six Feet Under, with canvas cloths painted in neon draped from the upper floor and over the walls. Alternative music added to the underground feel. No matter how they were perceived from the other side of the bar, students forgot about their academic lives and got caught up in the rush of night life. 1-taa.„...,a S. 11:30 P.M. 12:30 A.M. 2 A.M.

- CAir QTOTE ME 0 THAT! THAT EIGHT-LETTER that dreaded word that kept you up late at night, prohibited you from taking that new job, and cut into your free time on the weekends. Yes, almost every college student had to face up to that word at one time in their academic lives - studying. Three studying hotspots at ASU were the Hayden Library, Noble Science Library, and the Memorial Union. The Hayden Library contained 18 rooms for individual study, plus various private cubicles and six different floors with study tables. Group study rooms were also under construction. Sophomore journalism major Tina Parisi, a library employee, said that the busiest days for room reservations were early in the week because students want to get their stuff done. For students who preferred to study in groups, the Noble Science Library contained 20 rooms available by reservation. Rules required at least two students per room and only one day advance reservations. Even with these restrictions, business was great, according to Circulating Reservations Stack Supervisor Betty Dong. We get about 4,500 rooms reserved in two hour slots per month, she said. Still, libraries were not the answer for everyone. Me- chanical engineering junior Dave Anderson said that he enjoyed studying in the Memorial Union. I study in the Montgomery Lounge area of the M.U. because there are beautiful women to gaze upon, Ander- son said. In addition to the Montgomery Lounge, the M.U. con- tained rooms upstairs which were sometimes accessible for studying. Although many places offered study rooms for groups, Parisi said that studying alone worked best for her. I just make sure that everything I need is right there in front of me so I don ' t get sidetracked, she said. I just sit down and start...and I don ' t watch the clock. On the other hand, Anderson followed a study ritual. I spend the first five minutes before I sit down to study and think about why I ' m studying, and I usually come to the conclusion that I ' m an idiot and this is what we ' re supposed to do. I pick a particular course, and I study it for about 16-20 minutes. Then I take a five minute break. After the break, I pick up another class ' material and repeat the process and so on. I find that I retain more, Anderson said. Anderson also offered a more general suggestion. My advice for those people in the world who are not fortu- nate enough to know how to budget their time properly to learn efffectively: learn to , she said. BRARY AT ALL. IT ' S JUST TOO QUIET!
