University of South Carolina Libraries
All Ni By Jeffrey Charney and Robert Patterson Gamecock Staff Writers Everywhere around campus, we were bombarded with announcements for the University Union's All Niter. The copious publicity revealed how well the event was organized. It was oh vious the Union planned a "wild and crazy time" for all. We ventured to Green Street at 6 p.m. with high expectations but little cash, which really didn't matter since almost everything was free. Our eagerness quickly turned to boredom as Johnny Hilton and the Catawba Street nl ii n ai ? * ruiyumi oecuon provea to De a mediocre band with limited talent. The P.A. system never did justice to the band, but then the band never did justice to the crowd. The keyboards were rarely heard, and the bongos were nonexistent. Hilton constantly strummed his guitar, but it seemed like it was turned off. There were only three strong points to the band: lead guitar, harmonies and short set. THE CROWD soon pepped up as the Carolina cheerleaders and band started the "football fever" that hopefully will last all season. Photography b gR^H^B UP f '.? C ' . *, ' >VX+Jk r .

As usual, the disco offered no surprises but was well-received by the crowd. Later, we survived a long line at the Golden Spur where we watched Kenneth Cockrell have a "high time" in winning Carolina's reeferrolling contest, which was followed by "Reefer Madness" a crowd favorite. This hilarious propaganda film was made in the early '30s. Many ridiculous side effects were attributed to marijuana in the film. Two other films were presented. "The Big Sleep," starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, was shown for $1. Also, Peter Sellers' film, "The World of Henry Orient," ran for free at midnight and 2 a.m. Free popcorn was also available for movie-goers. An abundance of activities were offered at Russell House. The game room and snack bar had discounts for students such as 25cent hamburgers and free backgammon. Also, these facilities stayed open longer than usual for the All Niter. nu everyone in en into tne See ALL NITER, page 10 y Britt Andrew ^rTMnl wmmm ||r ^^HE| MBjji^B I'II'ICm ''' '' 'i'1' '"''i" '| I K \ led 'joints'while < ! hnrl n (rrxntl tims* , 1 ^ \A/ I I i'M I I I I 11 | ||l . | . jJIIP i.. :f '| ??i^nnraHBMB^HPi f^Sns-1 others drank beer, at the RH all night 1|K ?
