It's definitely a hot spot. i iie rauaaium, formerly known as Rumours, is located behind The Township auditorium at 1800 Blanding St. It is newly renovated and an exciting Columbia nightclub. Last year's drinking age increase to 21 took many students out of the nightclub scene and business away from the bars, including Rumours. The club went out of business and reopened under new management as the Palladium. At the Palladium, even students aged 18 to 20 are allowed to cross the normally forbid9 den party threshold, although thev still aren't allnwerl tn HrinL Staff members and state Alcohol Beverage Control Commission officers enforce the drinking age at the club, walking around with flashlights and checking hand stamps to make sure everyone drinking is of legal age. However, those who can't drink won't miss out on the fun at the Palladium. The large dance floor is awesome, with three levels of twisting, twirling dancers.

International studies senior Kitty Russell makes and sells the bracelets. She said she began making them for friends two and a half years ago. Russell said while most people wear them to symbolize friendship, others wear them in remembrance of the Grateful Dead concerts. The bracelets arc meant to signify the loyalty of the fans, known as "Deadheads."

The stylish pink and black walls are complimented by a high ceiling and fancy dance lights. The bar is highlighted with mirrors and neon lights. Combine these with an active dance floor and secluded candle-lit tables and the atmosphere at the Palladium is comparable to established, better-known nightclubs. If the atmosphere in back proves to be too much, the front offers a smaller bar, as well as pool tables and video games. Thursday night is "College Night," and the club offers $1 pitchers of draft beer. Individual bottles regularly cost $1.50, and imported brews are $1.75.

"I started wearing it at the second Grateful Dead concert I attended and haven't taken it off sinrp " Russell said she knows possible explanations to the origin of the bracelets, but no one really knows where or how they started. She said she heard rumors that during the "free speech" and "counterculture" movements of the 1960s, Americans traveled to Guatemala and taught the . children how to make the bracelets. In turn, the children sold them back to the United States by way of American tourists. Russell said another explanation is Guatemalan villagers have made them for practice in weaving other materials. The patterns in the bracelets arc very similar to those in larger items made by the same people, she said.
