Commons to become nightclub?
By PETER HEALY A night club is tentatively scheduled to occupy Commons Dining Hall by Jan. 21,1979. Beer, food, and hard liquor will be served three nights a week, provided that a liquor license is obtained after the initial application. The club will feature one or two service bars and a complete dinner menu. Plans for a dance floor, bandstand, lighting, and remodeling are also being negotiated, according to Len Hodgson, director of University Food Services. The establishment of the night club is the result of Public Act 78-279, which will become law on Jan. 1, 1979. This legislation enables a university of apply for a full liquor license. The liquor bill was passed by the state legislature in June, 1978 after an extensive lobby effort by UConn students. Overcrowding and long lines at the Anonymous Pub inspired the need for a night club in Commons. The pub, which has a maximum occupancy of 186 persons, could not adequately serve over 15,000 potential customers. The Commons facility, which will be open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, has a seating capacity of about 275 persons. The night club's central campus location makes it accessible to pedestrian customers. "The club is convenient for students without cars who can't get to places like Jury's, Chuck's, and Rosal's," said Tim Skidgell, Cont. on page 2

"Competition will make everyone improve their products. They (other proprietors) begged me not to open the pub, but it didn't hurt their businesses," said Hodgson. The night club will function under the jurisdiction of University Food Services. It will operate independently in relation to other food service operations. Operating costs are expected to be paid by sales. Essentially, this means that no ohe's board fees will be used to pay for liquor. However, funding for remodeling and equipment are not yet available. Also, the purchase of food and liquor inventories is contingent upon receipt of the actual liquor permit and negotiations with state purchasing. A contest to find a name for the Commons Dining Hall may take place in the upcoming fall semester, according to Hodgson. New name or not, the Commons will continue its daytime cafeteria business next year. Cooperation between the day and night staff is necessary for a smooth operation, according to Leda Kelley, manager of the Commons Dining Hall. "I don't want my customers to smell stale beer while they're eating their eggs," said Kelley. The wilderness' voice Cont. from Page 1 public service.

His name is Herbert Marcuse, and his revolutionary books are translated into some fifteen languages. At Child Care Available Upon Request one time he has a world-wide impact. Radical students quoted him when they closed down the University of Rome, and he was put in league with Mao and Marx. When he unmercifully criticized the Soviet Union, the U.S.S.R in turn condemned him as a "werewolf."

Overall, his negative philosophy is weakened by poetic metaphors TONIGHT!! (Eros, the life force vs. Thanatos, the death force), and obfuscated by hidden meanings. It is a vast conceptual theory based not on empirically tested facts but on "NANA , MOM AND ME" and "YUDIE" pure ideology.

The set design by Karen Larsen was efficient and uncluttered. The still photographs by Syevian Ofiara were excellent as was the dancing of Sheila Waters. On the other side, the sound effects and costumes were atrocious, as well as the singing of girlfriend "Marta". Someone should get her a bucket to help her carry a tune. The first act dragged rather badly but was saved by the premarriage scene of Kathy Fleig (if only she could sing), while the second act was more enjoyable with a good production number.

Great White shark was spotted in the vicinity of Mirror Lake recently, following the mysterious disappearance of five ducks and three co-eds. UConn Police Chief Martin Brody told the Daily Campus Monday that at present, his department is "ignoring the shark, hoping it will go away." He explained the police lost two rowboats trying to bring In the shark for questioning, adding, "that fish has one hell of a nasty temper." Close-up view of the shark. This exclusive photograph was taken by Passersby in the area have also reported hearing mysterious the late Dally Campus photographer Nikon Fen tax. bass-heavy music, which inevitably accompanies any appearance by the shark. Brody dismissed these reports, saying the music was probably causes by some natural phenomenon such as swamp gas or Air Force tests. Acting University President Edwin B. Rant has warned the UConn population not to get hysterical. "Maybe there is a shark, and maybe there isn't," he said. "Let's not jump to any conclusions. We don't want to ruin the tourist trade." Head of the UConn Icthiology department Professor Finley Scales told the Daily Campus the appearance of so large a shark so far inland is very rare. "Up until now, he said, your chances of being eaten by a shark while swimming in Mirror Lake were about the same as your chances of being struck by lightning during a snowstorm. These days, I wouldn't recommend taking a dip in that lake unless your girlfriend is into stumps." Scales also cautioned that the appearance of fresh-water sharks usually presages the appearance of other species of shark, such as pool sharks, bathtub sharks, and the most dangerous and voracious of all sharks, the toilet shark. "I would advise people to be careful around any body of water for the next few months, until the weather turns cold again," Scales said. Scales proposed one possible solution to the shark problem at UConn Curious onlookers observe the Great White Shark spotted in Mirror saying, "Sharks are very docile as long as you keep them well fed.

Hello. My name is Christopher Mitchell, or will be, when August 16 dawns. I am graduating from the University of Connecticut at Storrs. I couldn't be happier. No longer will I be 049-50-5544. My personality will be rescued from NOTHING the Great Computer. I will have to get a job. I will not have to take the courses that have made me, allegedly, a well-rounded individual. I will have time to read what I will, and think what I may. not what Northrop Frye or Aristotle think. I'm not a number, damn it, I'm a man. I am also capable of thinking for myself.

Former UConn soccer player Paul Hunter was discussing the happenings However, Paul was not destined to stay with the Cosmos. On New Year's of his first season with the Detroit Express of the North American Soccer Day his contract was sold to the Express making him the first player in the League (NASL) after Detroit's recent 1-0 victory over the New England team's history. However, there were circumstances which led to the Teamen. sudden sale. The first change one who knew Hunter from UConn notices is the longer "Last October the Cosmos sent quite a few of us to Italy for six to ten blond locks on his head with the addition of a full mustache completely hiding his upper lip. When this is mentioned Hunter just smiles. weeks and then forgot us and left us on our own. I was extremely tired after the regular season and after one week in Italy I got fed up and split on my Paul does feel that his days at UConn have benefitted him in his own.

"Playing at UConn was helpful because of the number of good players If Detroit goes far in the playoffs currently under way, the Express are that were there. It is a better college than most to get into the pro game. sure to meet the Cosmos and there is incentive for Paul. My time at UConn gave me poise and confidence to play." said Hunter. "It would be interesting to face the Cosmos. Our coach Ken Furphy was In his travels around the NASL, Hunter ran into UConn's all time career also with New York. I feel we are one of the few teams in the league that goal scorer Tom Nevers, who is playing for an expansion team, the Chicago can beat the Cosmos." Sting. "I talked to Tom when Detroit played Chicago in May. I am not surprised One of the big reasons that Detroit has had success in its first season was the addition of English forward Trevor Francis, who is third in the NASL in that he made the club. He's a good player whose biggest adjustment will scoring. be to the quickness of the pro game. Tom has started a few contests before "While he has not been the whole story, Trevor has meant quite a bit. he got injured. Last I heard he is working his way back." We -.tarted off 5-1 without him but then went into a scoring slump and Speaking of changing games, Hunter has made adjustments to the NASL dipped to 5-6 before Trevor arrived. With him our offense has improved. and has become more offensive minded than his days in Storrs. Without him we might be 16-12 instead of 20-9." said Hunter.

I am "Now I do much more running to create open space for others. It's a lot surprised at some Americans that are sitting the bench with some teams. more dirty work than I did in college." Hunter added. With more Americans the caliber of play would not go down much." Hunter began his professional career by being drafted by the New York with the season coming to an end there are some people around the Cosmos last year. With the likes of Pele, Giorgio Chignalia and Franz league who are giving Hunter consideration for rookie of the year honors. Beckenbauer among others on the roster, Hunter's fate was with the "B" team. However, Paul is not giving the possibility much thought. "I was lucky enough after Bobby Smith was injured late in the season to "I don't know what my chances are but I am not worried about it. People get in three regular season games and a playoff contest against Rochester. say I have a good chance but I just want to play soccer. I have been treated But I had 25 to 30 matches with the reserve team. It was good experience very well here in Detroit and to get the honor may just add pressure."

It's really strange because I did not have nay The game with the Express was a perfect case in point for Hunter has injuries at all in my college career," said Hunter. once again viewed the proceedings from a seat on the Teaman bench. In One factor which has helped Hunter to survive in the NASL is the fact, while the Teamen have taken the NASL by storm this year, while league's American player policy. The rules state that this season every compiling an 18-11 record. Hunter has had just a bit role in the success. NASL team must have at least two American or Canadian players on the One look at New England season statistic sheet bear out just how quiet a field at all times and at least six Americans or Canadian players on the year it has been for Hunter. In 29 contests, Tim has seen action in only two team roster. While this has helped Americanize the game to a degree, for a total of just over 38 minutes, which is less than one hald of one game. Hunter is one of many who feel that more should be done to get more "Yes. I am discouraged with the small amount of playing time I have Americans into the league. received. And even though the team is winning it is not anv consolation." "I think the present system leaves a lot to be desired.
