Favorite nightspots

• The 'Hawk' and 'Wheel' were convenient favorite afternoon/weekday evening respites from the rigors of our studies.
• The 'Rock Chalk Cafe' at the site of the new Oread Hotel was a little more down-scale and more likely to be the scene of fisticuffs.

• The 'Teepees' was a favorite venue for Ann Brewer and the Flames. Brewer was about 4'10", but she could scream like Janice Joplin. Brewer's spiritual descendant, Kelly Hunt, still performs in Lawrence.
• The 'Stables' had a 50 cent pitcher night for brothers who enjoyed bargains. It lasted until 9 pm, and it was not unusual to see 5-10 fresh pitchers on our table at  8:59.
• 'Louise's' on Mass. street had 10 cent short glasses, 35 cent schooners and for entertainment a tubercular hostess and her regular admirers.
• The 'Red Dog Inn' featured pledge brother Doug Crotty and the Flippers as well as the Ike and Tina Turner review. According to the Red Dog's manager from that era, Ike and Tina commanded a $500 fee (for a great, raw show - Tina was at the peak of her powers). The manager reports that Ike was a "stern taskmaster" who complained that the Ikettes were always "getting pregnant on him." Probably just a coincidence, but Dick Hoener was observed sniffing around the Ikettes dressing room during one performance.
• As for after hours fine dining, Sandy’s and Griff’s are no more, Bob’s Our Place on Mass. is gone as is Raney Drug, and Joe’s Doughnuts is now the location of a pretty good Italian restaurant. Heck used to take his post-game $5 meal money to Sandy’s, buy a couple of bags of 15 cent burgers and fries, and come home with $3 clear. He also had a standing late night order for a Joe’s hot sub until we woke him up one Saturday morning with about 4” of sub still stuffed in his mouth.
