Since the only form of alcohol allowed on campus was rubbing, the alternative was to seek a drinking establishment — loosely translated — a bar. One of the many nice things about Atlanta was no matter what the mood was, for beer or scotch, Levi ' s or a dress, there was always a suitable atmosphere. If someone planned a ritzy evening, Alexander ' s Eagle was a cozy, quiet place where prime rib could be had with a drink. Though the atmosphere was expensive, the drinks were not. If people were more important than atmosphere, there were other places to go. P.J. Haley ' s was the spot to meet nice Emory guys. P.J. Haley ' s resembled an English pub and was always packed on Wednesday nights. Every Thursday at midnight, Friday ' s celebrated New Year ' s Eve, complete with horns, hats and half price drinks. ••• • i;;:;:;;;;;;;:;;;:;;;;;:;::::;;:;:::;:;::::::;::s::s:s;s::::;s:;::;;:;::;:s:ssssss::;:u:;;: 28 THAT ' S LIFE

WE ' RE WORKING ON GETTING When football games, Moe ' s and Joe ' s, or fraternity parties became monotonous, there was another more refined side to life in the big city. Atlanta offered a variety of things to do and places to see for the Scottie who was working on becoming cultured. The Fox Theater billed the Atlanta Opera Company, Atlanta Ballet, along with many different guest performers, symphonies, and concerts during the year. Exploring the historic building was always exciting and many Scott students enjoyed ushering there. Any Scottie with a flashlight could get her culture free of charge by ushering at the Fox or Civic Center. The Alliance Theatre and the High Museum of the Atlanta Arts Center provided culture in other forms. The Atlanta Symphony, conducted by Robert Shaw, performed at the Arts Center regularly, and the Alliance Theater Company presented a variety of outstanding plays during the year, with special rates for students. The High Museum always featured fascinating exhibits and lectures by prominent artists. And if someone was in the mood for an old movie, week-end-long film festivals of favorite flicks were frequently offered. THAT ' S LIFE 27
