4 madea mistake the other week. I totally broke a promise I swore to myself may times. What did I do? - | went to one of the local clubs.

First I must explain that I have only gone to the clubs

a few times, yet every time I do I always swear that I.

will never go there again. This time I mean it!

It is not that I do not like the music or the dancing (well actually, I donotcare for either!), But what really turns me off of these places is the people. It is amazing whata few drinks, people of the opposite sex, and alot of peer pressure can do to ‘‘mature’’ people.

|

| realize that people have to be 19 to get into these places, but 1 am sure that does not refer to maturity at all. Even before you go in the door you usually see a unch of people who have not yet mastered the skill sf ‘mature drinking’’. These people still seem to hink that they are in High School, and that it is so 001 to be totally drunk.

he moment you get inside you see another group of runk groupies. Many of these people are university fudents and should know that any place that is charg- ig admission to go into a room that is small, too hot, nd too crowed, where the main objective is to buy rinks at twice their normal price, is being ripped off. /seems that the all that is needed to attract these atrons attention is some loud music, fancy lights,

nda ‘‘cool’’ atmosphere.

ow I amnot eagaiist having fun, or going out, but I buld hope that the students of this university would ve a more mature picture of students to the general iblic, then the picture they receive now. A picture of les of students lining outside of clubs to get in, a cture of staggering drunks walking down the street night, anda picture of groups of students hanging ound street corners trying to look cool,

ery time I happen to go to one of these watering les, 1am reminded of those stupid beer commer- iis on TV, If you look around the clubs you will see ae of guys trying to look like studs, drinking “ir drinks as coolly as possible, desperately tying to

_impress the women. They dress like the commercials, drink like the commercials, and even stand around like they do in the commercials.

Then there are the women. They are even funnier then the guys (I always thought women were more mature then men, I was wrong! ). The women are acting like they are in a beer commercial too. Many in there slinky cloths, drinking not one beer but two (I guess that is to help control their drinking??) and failing desperately at trying to look like they are not there only to pick up guys. Any feminist would be ashamed of the women atthe clubs. (The men are acting ex- actly like the a stereotypical man.)

The only comfort I get in my disgust of these people is in the knowledge that some day they will look back and see just how silly they look.

Laughing before the rest,
