Nightlife — 27

Page 30 text:

The John Halsey Drug Store was a hot spot to sip a coke and take a date in the 1950 ' s. (Photo from Southwest Collection) illdUllUdA ' HtLl Hub City Hot Spots Nightlife — in Lubbock? Is there such a thing? This response is typical of big city people who have never experienced Lubbock ' s hot spots. But as freshmen soon found out, there were plenty of party places in the hub city. Possibly there were too many, be- cause some students said they went out three or four times a week. The students said it was the atmosphere at Lubbock bars and clubs that made them fun. To me, the clubs are focused on college students. You know that your friends will be there and you can just relax and have fun, Thomas Cook, a sophomore ac- counting major, said. There was a variety of clubs and bars in Lubbock. For country dancing, there was Cowpokes and Midnight Rodeo. The Exit club and Virgin Club specialized in progressive dance music, while West L.A. played a variety of popular music. The Depot provided year-round entertain- ment, with the beer garden in the summer and the warehouse in the winter. The Lone Star Oyster Bar, J -Pat ' s, Bash Rip- rock ' s and On Broadway were smaller bars where people usually just hung out. There was also Froggy Bottom ' s comedy club, but the club ' s $7.50 admission was a bit steep for college students. So how did students decide where to go for a good time? A lot depended on cover charges, age requirements and where ev- eryone else was going. Most bars didn ' t have a cover charge for those 21 and older unless they were featuring a band. Then entrance fees ranged from $5 to $15, depending on the popularity of the band. Most clubs had a $2 to $5 cover charge for those under 21, depending on the specials of the night. Although it depended on the situation, John Dawson, a junior landscape archi- tecture major, said, if the cover charge is over $5 it is too much. A person ' s mood also had a lot to do with where he went. Each club has a certain image. I just decide what I want to do and what kind of people I want to be around, Keitha Clark, junior occupa- tional therapy major, said. Lubbock clubs offered a little some- thing for every personality. Most stu- dents found a club that suited their own taste and that of their friends. —By Audra Allaire 26 — Nightlife De.tif ncd by Amy Komatz

The Place To Be Whether it provided entertainment, food or just a place to relax, the Universi- ty Center catered to the needs of stu- dents, faculty, staff and organizations with its numerous services. Originally a snack bar when it was built in 1953, the UC has grown in capacity and services. Recent renovations in- cluded the remodeling of Market Street Grill and the opening of Cappuccino ' s, a gourmet coffee and pastry shop. The ad- dition of First National Bank across from the convenience store enabled students to make quick transactions. Between classes people often headed to the UC for a variety of reasons. I find it convenient to eat, study and take naps here because I live off campus and it would be too much trouble to go all the way home between classes, said Tina Hindman, a biochemistry major from Amarillo. Students also enjoyed pizza at Paler- mo ' s, listening to music while studying in the courtyard and catching a few soap operas in the t.v. lounge. This is the building where students are always welcome to relax and leave academics behind for a while, said Tom Shubert, director of the UC. We like to think the more the students use the UC, the better it will be for them to use. Some sources of UC entertainment were Open House, the Madrigal Dinner, the Winter Arts and Crafts Fair, Come- back Jack ' s Comedy Club, the Rocky Horror Picture Show, speakers, music, dance and drama. —By Eileen M.
