Local club converts to under-21 BY WILLIAM MILLS THE GAMECOCK A new dance club for teens has taken root in the heart of the Vista. On the comer of Park and Lady streets, this still to-be-named club is sure to be a hit among adoles cents, and an option for underage college students. The club, which closes at midnight, admits youths between th£ ages of 13 and 20. Patrons voted on the new club’s name on Fri day, the club’s opening night; the name will be an nounced this week. Many students will remember Have A Nice Day Cafe, which used to occupy the same space. Ac cording to management, SLED shut down Have a Nice Day Cafe this summer for selling alcohol to minors. Only water and Coke are sold at the new club. The old sign for Have A Nice Day Cafe still hangs outside the club; however, remodeling is scheduled for this week. For a $10 cover charge, teens can dance to top-40 music, as well as enjoy laser lights and fog ma chines. If rubbing elbows with 15- and 16-year-olds is not below you, then check out the under-age dance club that used to be Have A Nice Day Cafe. Models Agency misleads aspiring models CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 with an agency doesn’t ensure a modeling career. Paula McLane, owner of Coastal Talent, an agency at Isle of Palms, S.C., with 12 years’ experience as an agent, explained the correct way to start a modeling career. McLane suggested simply sending a picture to an agency. “Call them and ask if they have received your picture and say, ‘I would like to meet you.’ Hopefully, you will get an interview and go from there,” McLane said. While Manhattan Model Search didn’t try to persuade hopefuls to buy pricey pictures, McLane said other model searches often mislead them, telling aspiring actors they need expensive headshots and models they need comp cards. “One Talent Search called Faces charged $600 to $700 for headshots. Good headshots or comp cards shouldn’t cost much more than $200 dollars,” McLane said. “Once you have got the picture, you can get 100 comp cards mass-produced for $150 dollars.” A way to get free, professional pictures, McLane said, is to call a newspaper and volunteer to model for its fashion section. “It’s a wonderful way to get started and to get practice,” she said. “You can’t just walk in off the street and become a model,” McLane said. When asked whether the Manhattan Model Search gave people false hopes, she said, “Absolutely! That’s what they’re counting on!”' McLane said the Manhattan Model Search’s way of eliminating the crowd is “terrible. That’s a tacky way to do it.” McLane warned model hopefuls that if an agency wants them, they’ll have to move to Los Angeles or New York, something Manhattan Model Search doesn’t reveal unless asked. “The agency is not going to move you up there. Unless you’re planning to move to New York, you need a local agent,” McLane said. Even if you decide to move, there’s no guarantee the agency will still hire you. “I knew one family who picked up and moved,” she said, “and when they got there, they called the agent and no one ever answered.” ATTENTION SOPHOMORES & JUNIORS; Interested in a government or public service career?
