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.

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
