“Thank God It s Friday” seems to be the cheer raised by the string of cars heading north to the Tower. Yet. it’s the end of a week, but only the beginning of another TCIF with its plentiful beer, its numerous fights, its wild dancing, its general carousing. No TG stands out in the mind, for they all seem to blend into one continous stream. It’s said that if a student goes every Friday night of his college career, he will be deaf by the time that he is 28. Such is life. Neither is the Tower a place for those suffering from claustrophobia. Lack of attendance, however, is not a major worry, for TGIF seems to be one of the few movements left that people will join with enthusiasm. It's Friday afternoon and the whole gang converges on their usual spot. What is this place? One thing is sure, all those people are not at the supermarket. They could only be at the Palace. Who are all these people who go there? You know, the Greeks, the GDIs, the heads, each doing their own thing after five exhaust- ing days of classes and exams. Here is the place where they can buy a draw, talk to a chick, maybe even get a gram; it’s all part of the atmosphere of the Palace. Do you like to dance on top of one another? Then the Stadium is the place for entertaining your date as you listen to the “Club”. You must remember to ar- rive early unless you like to park out in the hoonies before the dance. After en- tering you can readily see how conven- ient the bar is, since it is located next to the entrance. You can buy your beer be- fore going to your table, stacked with beer cans. Sometimes it is difficult to dance because the Stadium seems to pack in the same number of people that the Tower docs, only with less space. Unfortunately, one fire exit and the front exit are the only means of escaping if a fire should occur. However, the Stadium is the only dance hall in Pittsburg open on week nights. 19

Adding an element of local color to the bar scene is that beer garden known as Danny’s. It’s located a little farther out than most of the hang-outs, being in the Chico- pee neck-of-the-woods. This rustic flavor can also be found in the curious mixture of clientele — farmers, workmen, and college students. Here is one place where doing your own thing ranges from playing pool, playing cards, to dancing a polka. For its part, the Basement adds a note of variety to the drinking establishment scene . Here the customer can choose from a variety of rooms. There s the main room where the majority of the crowd gathers to mingle; there’s the game room, where the pinball enthusiast can display his talents; and for groups and quieter types, there’s the black-light room, where conversation can be held. This offering of a room choice, along with the subtle decor, gives a more so- phisticated air to the Basement. A rather distinctive bar available to the college students, is the Friendly Tav- ern, commonly known as Friendly’s. Upon entering Friendly’s, one gets the feeling of walking into a stag show, clue to the lack of girls present at the tavern. However, this does not seem to be a dis- advantage in any way. Maybe the boys think it’s a good place to go to free them- selves of the female sex. 18
