Don’t know where
to go? Start here

To both now and returning
students: Welcome to Eugene!
Close your textbooks!
Even though
school official ly
begins next
week, adjusting
to the grind of
academic solf
abuse won't bo
possiblo for at
least anothor month. Trying to
study alter scurrying- ail- -svec—
campus will be an exercise in
futility. If you don’t start study
ing by 10 at night, forget it. Go
get a drink.
Where are you going to go?
Here's a list of 10 places where
people in Eugene go at night
and on the woekonds. They're
grouped according to their vari
ous purposes — cafes, bars
and/or clubs, and one poolhali
The Glenwood (1340 Alder
St., next door to 7-Elevon): "at
mospheric." "austere” and "co
pacetic” were the first throe
words my friend thought of
when asked to describe this
place. Ignore her. Other than
being closed between 9 p.m.
Sunday and 7 a.m. Monday, the
Glenwood is basically a 24
hour cafe. It’s the best place
near campus to oat neo-bohe
mian food (pretty good, not too
expensive) and have those
maddening late-night conversa
tions that supposedly typify
college life.
Closer to downtown. Allann
Brothers' Bakery it Coffee
House (152 W. 5th Avo.), aka
The Beanery, has better coffee
than the Glonwood but not as
much food. It's open until mid
night every night. If you come
early enough in the evening,
you're likely to find at least n
few games of chess going on
Live acoustic music can ho
hoard Thursday through Sun
day nights.
On the weekends, Eugene has
a handful of bars where you
can go for a drink, or dancing,
or both. Noar campus, Guido's
(801 E. 13th Avo ) and Rennie's
Landing (1214 Kincaid St.) arc
.y*.y.«.Uy. .r-rsrvT^ed -rr. - Friday
and Saturday nights. Ronnie's
— before it fills up — feels spa
cious and relaxing. After 9:30
p m., however, crowd-o-phobia
sets in. On a busy night, it takes
about two weeks to get from tho
second-floor binding to the
downstairs bathroom.
Guido's has a l)J, a dance
floor and a disco ball hanging
from tho ceiling The music,
mostly top 40, randy surprises.
Tho (lance floor is actually a
pit. It’s the sort of place to start
a relationship that you know
will end by sunrise. One even
ing last winter term. I over
hoard an innuendo-drenched
conversation between a woman
wearing what looked like u
black lace slip (in February!)
und a plastered fratboy. When
ho reached for her thigh, she
spat on his band und hissed,
"Not here, you freak.” Half-un
hour later, they were gone,
A better dance club than Gui
do's is Club Arena (959 Pearl
St ), downstairs from Perry's
Restaurant The music mix is
