Grove unfair to bikers reader In response to the article about the Royal Grove (Daily Nebraskan, Aug. 29), I thought it important to include a few' missing details about the Grove's image. , First, you failed to mention how the Grove got the motorcyclists out of the bar. The management began to enforce an unfair, discriminatory dress code that barred "motorcycle apparrel." Bikers who wear this apparrel hel mets, jackets, gloves, etc. do so for safety's sake. Many people in vehicles fail to see or notice motorcycles, and accidents are not infrequent. It's the same idea as wearing a seat belt in a car, And there are no bars that ban seat belt wearers. Despite this unfair dress code, there are still bikers who like the bar and still go there dressed in more "suit able" clothes for this "classy" place. So the bar hasn't gotten rid of the bikers totally. Maybe if the management bans bikes from being parked in the lot, that will do the trick. . The last time I was unfortunate enough to visit the Royal Grove in February I saw an interesting "dance" contest. First women, and then men, would dance for the people. During the course of this amateur dance contest, the dancers would remove their clo thing. Women took off shirts, pants and bras, and men would remove all but their underwear. There were money prizes for the best dancer. This is not my idea of cleaning up the bar's image. That and condom machines in the bathroom don't help the bar's image at all. People who frequent this bar show their approval of a discriminatory dress code and discrimination in general. Rhonda (iriess senior animal science Go Big Red fanaticism incorrectly called 'hype' Scott Harrah has managed to main tain a level of insipid writing for the past several months; however, he has finally reached a record high. It seems that Harrah doesn't approve of the commercialization of Big Red, as stated in his article (DN, Aug. 29). After Harrah filled the Daily Nebras ka's usual quota of Greek puns, he began his search for the meaning of his article. Hype, you say? What does a martyris tic story about being sent to your room for not liking football have to do with the ideaof commercialization and hype? You say nothing against Nebraska foot ball or the people's interest in it, but further your contradiction by focusing on those two apsects. Hype does not have anything to do with going to a bar and examining what happens when you begin to throw your "I'm-too-good-for-Nebraska-football" attitude around. Face it Harrah, you have written a spiteful attack directed toward people who enjoy taking part in one of Nebras ka's more enjoyable "extravaganzas." You obviously enjoy pointing out that you go to great lengths to ensure your nonconformity. I applaud your efforts but don't condemn good people for getting excited about something they take pride in. Next time maybe you could try to concentrate your keen sense of journalism on what you have incorrectly assessed in this article as hype and commercialization. As far as moving to Norman is con cerned, please do yourself a favor and go someplace other than Oklahoma. We like our football just as much as Nebraska, only in Norman if you had "sashaved into a bar dressed like that, you wouldn't have made it past the 1 Bruce Jones senior broadcasting ran B5nR3IJHAIMI3 AEOTT educational loan program o STUDENTS o PARENTS call (401) 489-6521 or 800-742-0091 or (toll free in Nebraska) NEBhTBUP 4732 Calvert St. Lincoln 24 Hour ATIIa Parkway, 40th & South Hinky Dinky, 58th & Adams Hinky Dinky, 17th & South Drive-up, 14th & Superior Drive-up, 1230 N.
