Local Bands Are Auburn's Favorite Through out the years there has always been great entertainment on campus. Thanks to the UPC's diligent efforts and several of the more popular bars, this year was no exception. During each freshman orientation, the UPC provided a band party for all the students. These gatherings were sometimes the most exciting events of the summer. The UPC also brought bands to campus during such events as Splash Into Spring and Tigermania. Local bars have always been a popular source of musical entertainment. Places such as Rusty's Too, The Supper Club, and Denaro's provide students with weekend after weekend of good times, supplying not only local bands but also big names such as The Atlanta Rhythm Section and Stephanwolf. Students were never at a lack for musical entertainment. Whether it was The Bonnevilles or Wang Chung, a band was always playing somewhere. ♦ by Melissa Robinson The New Boys are seen preforming at a freshman oriention during summer quater. UPC band parties were a favorite campus activity during every quarter. 30 Student Life
