H ow many times have you asked your friends what they wanted to do, lets say . . . between Thursdays and Satur- days? It ' s a common question, and come to think of it, it stimulates the mind. The average college student has to think about where he or she wants to go. Nine times out of 10, students will crowd into the most popular clubs around the campus area. But there are students who are looking for some- thing a little different: that special nightspot. For the students who missed out on the fifties, there ' s Little Anthony ' s Diner. Waiters are not only walking the floors to give you service, but they dance on tables for your entertainment. Young and old can jitterbug together in harmony with the band, The Cad- illacs. For those who would rather laugh the night aways, there ' s Laffs Comedy Nightclub. On Thursday nights, it ' s free for college students with a valid I.D.. Laffs has the best comedians who make you laugh until you want to throw up. Not only does Laff ' s have professional comedians, but they TUCSON DIFFERENCE Waking up when the goes Down have great promotional giveaways for their patrons. For the alternative scene-seeker, there ' s the infamous Club Congress located downtown. Club Congress opens its arms to many local bands and features progressive music, which is difficult to find in Tucson. In the Tap Room at Club Congress, students find a jukebox according to some, it ' s best in Tucson. Neon Prophet has a large following at the UA, and if they are not on the mall playing or around the area, most students can find them at The Chicago Bar on Wednesday nights. The Chicago Bar doesn ' t cater to many students, but one employee said that if they had a college night, Wednesday nights would be the time. Whatever you wanr to do at night, Tucson has the spots.

Have you taken a good look around you? Every- one whose anyone seems fit- to-be tye dyed. Local bands are taking on a sixties fla- vored sound and cover quite a few hits from that era as well. People are grooming themselves for the return of Woodstock, and if it does hit us soon many will be pre- pared. Hanging from necks are rows of love beads and peace signs that would make Timothy Leary proud. Why is this coming back? Most of us were born just at the end of this era. Peace is back by popular demand, said Sophomore Amy Ginsburg. Peace is back and so is the lingo to go with it. Groovy slips through many a tongue reminding me of Marsha and Greg Brady. Where are these pleasant folk? Take a turn for the best at Bentley ' s House of Coffee and Tea. Friday and Saturday nights were the best times to scope out the rejects of this pipe-carrying and loving peri- od. Or why not make a visit to the Wooden Nickel or Moon Smoke shoppes. Not neces- sarily to buy anything, but to just take an innocent look. The sad thing about all of this resurgence hype is that many just follow the protocol of fashion and not ideology. They may look, act and feel the type they wish to portray but most are as apathetic as their fellow Miffs, Biffs, and thrashers. Things have oc- cured this past year national- ly and internationally that may have caused a good deal of protest at Berkley or even here, but no one did anything to show their dissatisfaction. It does seem like a group is forming that won ' t put all it ' s energy into worrying about money, or establishment after college. As soon as gradu- ation falls upon all these heads, be them speckled with Ray Bans or Peace signs, they all may one day be working at IBM side-by- side and at 5 p.m. skip off together to have a beer. Until then we ' ll just have to remain content being separate. Mari A. Olson, Photos by Brice Samuel
