C 3 CQ - When Michigan stu- dents say that they are going to the bar , it used to mean one of the cam- pus bars. However, now going to the bar may mean different bars off campus bars. Names like 8 -Ball Saloon, Blind Pig, Monkey Bar, Del -Rio, Full Moori, and Old Town are becoming familiar lingo with Michigan students. These bars are attracting students for many reasons. I go to Casey ' s because it has a nice atmosphere, it ' s off -campus, and different, said Senior Karen Lerner. Del -Rio is Senior Valerie Roth ' s favorite off -campus hang out. I go there be- cause it ' s not in the scene, said Roth. Another off -campus fa- vorite is the Full Moon. Senior Amy Koch, a wait- li Bars ress at Full Moon said that the Full Moon epito- mizes the Ann Arbor cul- ture. There are 65 differ- ent beers, ranging from raspberry beer for the wimpy beer drinkers to Yeast beer from Germany for the heavier drinkers, said Koch. The Blind Pig and 8- Ball Saloon attract a large student clientele according to Todd Hendrick, Gen- eral Manager of the bars. When The Difference or Second Self play, Michi- gan students occupy the majority of the bar, said Hendrick. The bar options at Michigan are endless. It ' s up to the students to decide each weekend whether to stay on or go off. Julie Keller

CO H CO r u For most of the students who would love to actively participate in a university sport, but lack the skill nec- essary for a U-M sport never fear there is an al- ternative for those would- be athletes: U-M club sports. Unbeknownst to many of U-M students, the Intramural Sports Building offers a variety of club sports such as lacrosse, sail- ing, skiing, volleyball, rugby and soccer. The emphasis of club sports is on fun and relaxation without the con- stant competition of varsity sports. The women ' s lacrosse team was founded four years ago by three students who had played lacrosse in high school and found it was not offered at the U- M. Today, it has drawn the attention of over thirty women, and they play other varsity teams across the mid -west. The best part of playing lacrosse at a club level is that everyone gets a chance to play at the games. It is great to be able to continue playing sports in college without the varsi- ty sacrifice, explains a member of the women ' s la- crosse team. Women ' s la- crosse is not the only club sport available. The sailing club began in the mid- 1900 ' s and is still competing every year. Brian James, their fearless leader, expects a very good showing this year in one of the largest college regatta ' s, the Carry - Price Memorial. The men ' s lacrosse team is one of the most organized club teams, and this year they hope to obtain a varsity standing. No matter what sport you participated in high school, you can find it here at the University of Michigan at some level of competition. Tonia Jones H SpO rts
