student bracelet wearer said.
Business freshman Brett
Wilson said wearing the bracelets
is similar to wearing friendship
rings and pins.
Business freshman Robyn
Shanley said people wear the
^ bracelets simply because they
w want to.
However, the bracelets have
deeper meaning to marine science
freshman Jeanne Emery. She said
they represent the number of intimate
relationships she has
experienced.
Economics junior Joe Shirley
said the bracelets arc a symbol to
him of simplicity in a complex,

If you're going to the
Palladium, check your winter
coat at the door. 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

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. The thumping

"The life we lead consists of

let go of their regimented ways."
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.
No specific dress code exists at
the Palladium. Also, bring
your driver's license to enter; a
college identification isn't good

The Palladium is open every
night except Sunday, It is normally
open from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m.
weeknights, but stays open until 4
a.m. Friday night. The cover
charge is usually $2 for the
21-and-over crowd, but the price
varies for those 18 to 20.
Don't mind the cost, though.
The Palladium definitely has an
atmosphere worth checking out.

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.
