What were you thinking Roberto; you must have done something wrong to have your movie receive worse reviews than "Al." At Showcase: 12:00 Standing in the Shadows of Motown There can be nothing better than watching a bunch of old musicians sit around and tell stories, and hav- ing Bootsie Collins sit in only makes it better. At Madstone: 1:15, 3:30, 7:15, 9:30 4 stars Star Trek: Nemesis At least Geordie can look back at a career as Lamar Latrell, and Picard is now Professor Xavier.

THEA TER Smile See Thursday, $20 Jodie Roth For the Daily Upon entering college, one anx- iously looks forward to an exhila- rating social scene filled with new friends, adventures and lasting memories. However, students here at the University, where we have just as many libraries as bars, often ponder what to do if under the age of 21. Luckily, we have formulated a list of "alternative" activities for the weekend if you just aren't "into" the bar scene or literally cannot get in. "I am so sick of the typical bar scene in Ann Arbor. I feel like every weekend I go to the same bar and I see the same people and do the same thing. I just wish there were other things to do in Ann Arbor because it Photos EditrDav i iat Photographer: Dason Cooper Tony Dng, Dav Kaitz and Ryan Weiner Cover Photo: Ryan Weiner Arts Editors: Luke Smitht Managing Editor, Jeff Dickerson, Associat Editor Editor In Chief: Jon Schwartz would be fun to attend adventurous, perhaps culturalevents," said Lauren Kovacs, an LSA senior. Sporting events are a great way to meet other University students and support athletic teams. If you'd rather be an athlete than a spectator, Rock n' Bowl may be a good choice for entertainment. Colonial Lanes, located on South Industrial Avenue, offers Rock n'Bowl on weekends. Local movie theaters such as the State Theater, the Michigan Theater and Quality 16, offer discount stu- dent prices. For women looking for a racier evening, Cavern Club, located on First Street, offers admission to women 19 and over on Thursday nights. Although they are not able to drink, they can dance and have fun with their friends (and obviously older boys too). Another club, The Necto, which is located on East Liberty Street, also offers admission to underage students. Although not commonly thought of as a date place, museums are often a great venue for meeting peo- ple. The Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum offers an intellectual yet fun way to spend quality time. Rock climbing at Planet Rock on Alternative activities for the underaged 4 A very risky date locale. i Washtenaw Avenue is another chocolate smores at this fun, late go to the bar and see what I am adventurous alternative. Having fun with friends while getting in a work out is certainly dif- ficult for most, but Planet Rock offers this appeal for the best of both worlds. Located right on State Street is Cosi; one may take pleas- ure in the, gooey marshmallow and night activity. "Because I am under 21 years old, I feel like my social life here is sim- ilar to high school. We all meet at the same place on the weekends looking for something fun and exciting to do. I can't wait until I am 21, because I ,will finally be able to Phone Numbers: Michigan Theater:668-8397; Quality 16:827-2837; Showcase: 973-8380; State: 761-8667. Showtimes are effective Friday through Thursday. Matinee times at State Theater are effective for Saturday and Sunday only. missing out on. Maybe the bar owners should just let younger people in without drink- ing, or perhaps someone can take the initiative and find things for people to do at U of M who are under 21 years old," said LSA fresh- man Jenny Katz.
