Wnt Gamecock Golden from page 7 rabble rouser in us.” The Golden Spur opened as a begr and wine bar in 1973. It was well re ceived among the students and re mained popular throughout its exis tence. The Golden Spur offered students a safe, relaxed environment to enjoy a cold beer. Because the legal drinking age at the time was 18, underage drinking was not a problem. Brewer said, “If the students want ed to get rowdy, they weren’t going to do it on campus. You lose a lot more. If you go down to Five Points, go to a bar and get in trouble, the worst that can happen is you go to the magistrate and pay a fine. [If] you’re on campus, you can get kicked out of school.” In the late ‘70s, the addition of new bars and nightclubs helped develop the popularity of Five Points as the uni versity’s premiere nightspot, thus mark ing the decline of The Golden Spur. “It made absolutely no sense to have a situation that was not financially solvent,” Brewer said. President Reagan’s decree to the states to raise the drinking age to 21 seemed to have nailed the coffin shut on the Russell House’s first bar. USC’s student union remains to this day without a bar. The Golden Spur is sometimes used by Carplina Productions for small events, although nothing is currently booked for fall 2000. With state-imposed drinking age laws and university policies regard ing the possession of alcoholic bever ages on campus, it doesn’t appear USC will have an on-campus bar anytime soon. “I don’t think the students of the University of South Carolina need any help finding a place to get a drink,” Brewer said. Yet the student union has a void to fill. Leventis said, “It’s ridiculous not to have a place for students to hang out on campus.” • ^Business junior Drew Burton says an on-campus bar could help bring a sense of unity to USC’s social scene. “It would be nice, too, after a win against someone as strong as Georgia, to come back to campus and be able to celebrate with all the students. The whole school would come back - in one place - and everybody would cel ebrate together.” The spotlight desk can be reached at gamecockspotlight@hotniail.com.

Best hip-hop video award winner Sisqo wore a studded red leather outfit during his onstage performance. Black leather was the fashion choice for the majority of ’N Sync, which won three awards for the “Bye Bye Bye” video. Professional wrestling star Chyna wrapped herself in what looked like a leather flag. A handful of stars stuck to more tra ditional award-show fashions, including Toni Braxton in a tuxedo (although she. was missing the shirt). Moby and two of the Red Hot Chili Peppers wore monochromatic suits, shirts and ties, sporting the look made popular by “Who Wints to Be a Millionaire” host Regis Philbin. Eminem went the opposite route, wearing a series of baggy athletic ptuiis and plain white T-shirts. “People used to try to do fashion at these awards, but now they make grunge look good, ” Ginsberg said. oe (DamccocR will be having a an interest meeting 7 p.m. Wed Sept 13 in RH 333 for those interested in reporting for j sports and news, layout de sign, cartoonists and copy editors.
