atmospheres. Rick ' s is very laid-back. At Charlie ' s there ' s more Greek and preppy people and more importance is put on the way you look, said senior Laura Ogdeen. This laid-back atmos- phere can be observed most notably in peoples ' dress. This may be due to a point made by Gregg Rogenstein, At Rick ' s you ' re not here to impress anyone, you ' re here to have a good time. You can come in your workout clothes, your library clothes, your pajamas whatever. This casual style is also adhered to by Rick ' s employees who usually wear shorts or jeans, t-shirts, and tennis shoes. On Rick ' s several television screens there is usually some type of sport- ing event that often gets the whole crowd on its feet and music is provided by some of the best local bands. Across the street at Char- lie ' s however, it ' s a differ- ent story. There, the bartenders wear bow ties, the television is tuned to MTV, and Top 40 songs are generated from a juke box in the corner. The bar- goers give more consider- ation to their appearances as Rogenstein says, At Charlie ' s, you have to shower first, pick out what you ' re go- ing to wear, fix your hair . . . basically, you go to be seen. The Nectarine Ballroom and The University Club are two more popular campus bars. The people who go there mainly go for dancing. Both bars offer a variety of atmospheres de- pending on which night of the week it is. Both The U- Club and The Nectarine produce extremely popular new music progressive dance nights. There is something for everyone at the campus bars and fortunately, getting to the bar isn ' t as tough as choosing which one to go to. Students should be cau- tious, however, and make sure things don ' t get out of hand. It would be terrible to get stuck on another dry island.
