24 Unfortunate Break For New Monk On October 30, a teen coffee house, the New Monk, opened a few blocks away from BHS on University Ave. at Shattuck. Spon- sored by the Berkeley YMCA, its goal was to provide a place where teenagers (13-18) could get together to dance, eat, rap or be entertained. Although the idea was an excellent one, the coffee house was forced to be closed to teens because of lack of funds and patrons. Because the restaurant was used as a bar on weekends and most eve nings, the only time it was opened for minors was from 2:30-6:30 p.m., Monday thru Friday and Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings. Homework, sport events and other after school activities made it impossible for most of the students at BHS to attend, although the response from those who were able to go was a favorable one. The New Monk, although for a short time, performed an im- portant service to the young people of Berkeley and it is hoped that another house or operation of its sort will come into existance before too long.
