DANCING..
The Palladium
ByMarkSchocller
Do you liVc to dance? Do you enjoy meeting new
people? Or do you just need a place to "hang out?" If
you answered "yes" to these questions. The Palladium
may be for you.
The Palladium calls itself a restaurant, but its three
dance floors, giant video screen, flashing lights, and
blasting music make it clear that this is no eating
establishment. This is a place for young people to
dance.
Personal opinions about The Palladium vary.
"The Palladium is a great place to meet other people,"
stated senior Lysa Lewin. "I've met a lot of people
lliere."
"For me, The Palladium is a terrific place to go with
a large group of friends and party," said junior Chris
Cri«era.
Other students disagree. "The Palladium is just a
slimy, pick-up 'joint," commented senior David
Schachman. "I've never had a good time there."
•'I've never met anyone I wanted to know," added
senior Richard Weeks.
Senior Angie Artemoff had this to say: "I just go to
daiice. I only can dance about once a month at Lowell.
The Palladium gives me the opportunity to dance practically
anytime I want!"
The club has a five dollar admission fee. but two-forone
coupons are available in Quake magazine and also
inside at the door. Don't come thirsty. Drinks are expensive.
One glass of water costs 75 cents.
The Palladium is open Thursday through Sunday
from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. One mus: be 18 or older to
attend.

The nightclub offers a video screen featuring the
latest videos, two dunce floors accommodating 600 to
700 people, dinners and snacks, popukr entertainers,
