At Cal. ihe paRiy bec;ms on Thunsday and lasTS mw weekend rhe ivtv houKS np Sunday. ions kv lUCV TiIRIIl here comes a time when every student will feel as if there is something lacking s lOr her college life. Sure studying is a blast and TV., what a commodity. But still theTeeling persists; always lurking... the urge to party. ♦Maybe to some students ( OK, a lot of students ) partv ' ing may be priority Number » 1, but for those to whom studying is »1, partying is a break, a release if you will, from the hum-drum routine of lecture after lecture, assignment after assignment and reading chapter after chapter. ' It gives me the opportunity to step out of studying mode for a while and kick back and have some good relaxing fun,, says Ingrid Ochoa, a third year premed Biopsych major, betv ' een flipping tapes of Bio IB lecture. ' { ' But where, oh where, is all the action going on ( as if Cal Alumni and students didn ' t already know)? For those that are party- impaired, I will give you a brief summary. There is the ever famous fraternity parties (if you can get your name on the list or can pretend to be someone else, as I did to get into Psi Epsilon ' s March Madness party. What ' s up Jennifer!?, I heard as 1 was hurriedly pushed through the door. Hey, don ' t forget to cross Jennifer Wang off the list I heard in the distant background. Then there are the co-op parties where you never know what to expect as I ' m sure the audience of one band at a certain co-op party didn ' t expect to be urinated on by the female lead singer. Then of course there are the usual hang-outs, (aka bars) such as Kip ' s , Larry Blake ' s and Henr ' ' s and that ' s just in the south campus vicinity. If vou ' re willing to travel and have some money to spare you can always head out for San Francisco for a plethora of clubs bars pool halls etc. ♦ But then there are those that reach their satiety point by merely hanging out with friends and maybe having a drink or two. ♦ ! would always prefer a small get together with some friends than a loud party, says Randy Thompson, a second year undeclared. How can anvone relax at a crowded party or bar with drunken fools gawking at you? I like it simple and cozy, that ' s my kind of parly. So one person ' s paradise may be another ' s hell but in the end, we all satisfy our primal urges to actually enjoy college, even if it is just a little bit, or our main objective.
