Varied i differer m/ilr/jo I i a i Ward Borden Staff Writer The Stage Door, at 634 Harden St., has some unique features making it different from most other clubs near campus. On a given weekend, the Stage Door may supply patrons with both acoustic music and disco music at thp same time. Acoustic acts perform on the lower level near the bar. In the upper level, bands specializing in beach or disco music perform, and when no band is booked, a DJ spins records. As well as being a bar and club, the Stage Door is also a restaurant, serving a variety of salads, soups and sandwiches during lunch and dinner hours. In May, the Stage Door underwent some changes in architecture and policy. The lower-level bar, which used to be off to one side of the room and semi-enclosed, was expanded into a large circular bar. Several large ~ tables were removed from the center of the room. Also, the disco on the upper level, which was a private club Lr nr\u/n o c Pafpinlr'c tiro o |\11\/TT 11 U O A U tl 1V,1\ Of V?

The former i ri ? ? 1 A x gruuiiu-iiuur layuui was noi particularly well-suited for acoustic acts because there was no designated space for the performer to set up equipment or even a chair. The stage was' simply a corner of the room. The former layout was successful,though, because there was an area for people to sit, drink, and watch the performer at close proximity. The few tables which did orovide a little intimacv between performer and audience have now been replaced by an obtrusive bar. Performers are now jammed into the same corner, but the effect is much different. The new bar may reflect a change in . emphasis at the Stage Door. With the exception of the new bar and public disco, the Stage Door has maintained its original style.

The restaurant/bar downstairs is dominated by me round oar in tne middle of the room. To the side of the bar are two levels of booths, set off by stuccoed walls, giving each the appearance of a small veranda. The upstairs disco is set up with a central dance floor surrounded by tables and the usual multi- colored flashing lights. The Stage Door has a quiet atmosphere, excepting the disco ,and thier prices are a little higher than some other clubs near campus. Their clientele is best described as thirtyish, and according to employees, the Stage Door is the favorite haunt of many faculty members. r ~"j~! 1 hour cleaning a hour laundry 6 days a week I M-F 7:30 a.m.-6 p.m. SAT. 7:30 a.:v .-3 p.m. 1320 Main St. I) ] Delii i Home! ?
