by Bonnie Bills______he local band Boot Cookies used to have band practice at a place on Pardall, until one day some officers from the I.V. Foot Patrol put their T feet down and told the group that the noise could lead to a $250 fine. In need of a place to practice legally and cheaply, the band took a route many others have taken over the years at UCSB. They formed a club. While many bands shell out hefiy monthly rents for garages or studios to practice in, often illegally, a few bands like Boot Cookies practice in vacant campus classrooms in the evenings. Bands can institute them­ selves as clubs through the Campus Activities Center and, for a total of about $30 a year, reserve a room on campus to use for their club’s purposes, which, in the case of bands, is to practice. Boot Cookies, who formed the “Rock and Roll Club,” usually practice in the Chemi­
