So Be Like no ties and libeautifulii people. Eccentric locals mingle with high fashion Europeans, curious tourists and students, comprising an eclectic mix of people perfect to entertain the popular sport of people watching. Ocean Drive is the popular daytime host to this South Beach sport. The outdoor cafes, like the ever-popular News Cafe, are perfectly situated along the thoroughfare of trendiness. Celebrities have taken a great interest in the art deco properties of Ocean Drive this past year as well - Gloria and Emilio Estefan bought the Cardozo Hotel and creat- ed their second restaurant, Allioli, and fashion designer Gianni Versace transformed a dilapidated hotel into his palace away from home. There were even network television series created in and about South Beach. To fully enjoy and appreciate South Beachis unlimit- ed social possibilities, students had to brush up on their social skills in order to pass entrance exams for various bars and clubs. Names had to be learned, for example. The Chili Pepper, a major hangout, required you to know, or at least pretend to know siRiCkfl the assertive and arrogant gatekeeper. If you wanted to get into Union Bar, you had to remember ltMichaelfi and tiSavoiaFi For dance club Velvet, all you needed to know was ttJimmyfi Knowing local celebrities and promoters didnit hurt either. The names Tommy Pooch and John Hood were almost guaranteed passwords. Who ever said going out was easy? Students also learned to endure the heat as sweat beads glistened on beautifully-tanned skin while they waited in line after line. They also learned to strike a pose and give off that South Beach air of confidence. Eventually, most got to know the big shots on a first name basis, so the whole process became easier. Meanwhile, Rick, J immy, Michael and the other doormen got rich thanks to those students who learned that a good tip could often do the trick. However they did it, UM students were out in full force. While the Groveis Dan Marinols served as Thursday nights watering hole, more students this year than ever made the trip over the MacArthur Causeway to the world of South Beach this year. . ltSouth Beach is a very diverse place. There are so many different types of people. It is a Mecca composed of so many different people, and thatis what makes it cool. Itls unbelievable - it has it all? said senior Ron Berkowitz.
