The nightclub, located within driving distance from campus on Mar tin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, is an ex cellent option for students looking for a hip night scene. The club is attached to Chinese restaurant Kowloon, which Club Tsunami owner Kit Wah Chan also runs, and Kowloon's cuisine is a spe cial feature atthe club —-every night at 11 p.m. staff members bring out a com plimentary buffet for customers. The eatery's full menu is also available until closing time. "When (club-goers) party, they're going to be hungry," Club Tsunami em ployee Alan Chua said. Every Saturday is comedy night at the club, which highlights comedians from all overthe country. Video poker, pool tables, a big screen TV and Thurs day night karaoke also provide alterna tives to drinking and dancing. ClubTsunami opened six years ago after a remodeling project in Kowloon's former club, Club Scan dals. The moniker "Tsunami" came out of a club-naming contest, and to day, Chan said his venue is a popular destination for students and the Eu gene working class. "Students say that they like the qual ity of music, the value, the convenience of parking and the food," Chan said. Chan, with the intention of Tim Bobosky | Photographer Alicia Travis, an international studies junior, and Nick Harvick, an economics junior, dance together at ClubTsunami Saturday night. attracting more students, is running a buy one, get one free cover charge (currently $5) for University students as a promotion. "We have our regulars; we always seethe same people," Chua said. "Two girls came in recently and said they were new in town, and I said,‘Well, this istheplacetobe.'" The $1 Tsunami shot is available every night, which makes "too broke to drink" an invalid excuse. On Thurs days, $2 well drinks are up for grabs. Chan said Long Island Ice Tea and Hop Skip (which he said tastes like "Hawaiian punch with a kick") are house favorites. "We have good drinks at a cheap price," Club Tsunami cocktail waitress Kathryn Hancock said. "We have our signature drinks, like Skittles and the shot PinkTacos." "I never compare my club to the competition, I only improve what I have to offer," Chan said. "We're always looking for something new and fun so we can attract more students and make itfresh." natchilingerian@dailyemerald.com IN BRIEF Campaign Oregon hosts Hollywood-stylegala The University will officially kick off a massive fundraising campaign ata blacktie gala Saturday atthe Moshof sky Sports Center.
