November 23,1982 The Voice Page 7 Stepping Out With Emanuel Vaughn Disco City, Emily’s and Smitty’s Many FSU students are 21 and over and enjoy having mixed drinks during their night out on the town. There are at least three night spots surrounding FSU which provide mixed drinks and more. Disco City, Emily’s and Smitty’s, located on Murchison Road, offer mixed drinks, meals and entertainment at reasonable prices. But for every similarity there are just as many dif ferences between these night clubs. Fir st, let’s look at the similarities between them. As already mentioned each club offers drinks, meals and entertain ment. Location is another facet these clubs have in common, all three being relatively close to campus. This is basically where their similaries end. Now, as for their differences, well that’s another story. Again, we will begin with the outside and work our way in. First, Disco City. As far as parking is concerned Disco City leaves much to be desired. Remember the rock, whole and dirt combinations I spoke of at Studio 105 and The Spectrum? Well, Disco City has plenty of the same. But you can park on a street beside the club and in another merchant’s parking lot, which is paved and near the club. As for the appearance of the club itself, Disco City seems to be made of cement Campus Digest News Service One-night stands may be a thing of the past because of an incurable venereal disease reaching epidemic levels in America. An estimated 20 million Americans now have genital herpes, and as many as half a million are expected to get it this year, the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta reports. Risk of catching herpes and fear of having it forever may be making people change the way they conduct their sex lives. “There has been a noticeable shift in the way people are approaching their sexuality and their attitudes toward casual sexual encounters,” said Sam Knox, national program director of the American Social Health Association, in a recent issue of McCall's magazine. and brick. The outside design of the club may not be very appealing to the eye but doesn’t seem to be falling apart. The interior of the club has plen ty of seating and an average sized dan ce floor. The music played in the club is that of the “get down” variety. Disco City offers their normal house D.J.s and, from time to time, an out of town D.J. Basically, the D.J.s are not of the rapping type. But because the club offers a variety of D.J.s a rapper may occassionally entertain you. I’ve asked several FSU students their opinion of the club and didn’t receive a favorable response from most. Although a few did express that they’ve had some good times at the club. Emily’s is only one of the clubs which provides paved parking for it’s patrons. But if you arrive late, you’ll find yourself unable to park anywhere except on the street. The exterior of Emily’s is appealing to the eye and its interior is one of the nicest of its type. But you will find it much too small to accommodate its normal crowd of people. Emily’s, like Disco City, offers a separate area for eating and entertainment. Where music is concerned, Emily’s offers disco, (Thurs., Fri.) and jazz (Sat.-Sun). Regretfully, you will find that the dan ce floor is much too small. “In the recent past, the most detrimental things associated with casual sex—wanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases—could be dealt with, so people didn't worry much. But herpes is different-once you acquire it, you have it for life,’’ Knox said. Time magazine reports that many people who get herpes go through stages similar to those mourning for the death of a loved one: shock, emotional isolation and loneliness, and they sometimes experience serious depression and impotence. Almost always there is rage at the carrier, and at the same time, at the opposite sex in general and at the medical profession. The two most common types of herpes are herpes simplex and genital The type of patrons you can expect to find at Emily’s are basically professional people. Don’t be sur prised if you find some of FSU’s faculty and staff enjoying themselves at the club. After all, they deserve to get their stuff off too, don’t they? Smitty’s is a realtively small club and can easily be over looked. The parking offered is very minimal, to say the least. Again, you may find yourself parking in another merchant’s parking area, which in this case, is across the street. So, if you don’t know how much fun it can be trying to get across Murchison Road you may be in for your first lesson. Good luck! The in terior of Smitty’s consists of one medium sized area which is used for eating, drinking and any entertain ment. The music played is basically jazz. The club is mainly designed to sit back, listen and watch. Therefore, if dancing is your thing, Smitty’s is not the place for you. Remember that each of these clubs offer meals and mixed drinks. Therefore, because of the mixed drinks, an minimum age of 21 is required to enjoy them. It is also worth mentioning that to date, Disco City and Emily’s require a cover charge, Smitty’s does not. Emily’s also has a dress code. herpes or herpes simplex II. Herpes simplex causes small blister-iike sores on the face, the most common being cold sores on the lips. Genital herpes causes sores on or around the genitals. The scores of the two strains cannot be easily distinguished, and they don t always stick to their own areas. Ordinary cold sores may be transmitted to the genitals by fingers or mouth, and become a venereal disease. Because of this, oral sex may be a potent force in transmitting the disease. A genital herpes outbreak is usually accompanied by headaches, fever, aching joints and pain in the genital area. Once herpes penetrates the skin, it multiplies rapidly. Within two to 15 days after infection, the person may feel an itching or tingling sensation. In genital herpes the first episode usually lasts an average of three weeks. Because the disease is incurable, the herpes sufferer usually has subsequent attacks with outbreaks of the blister like sores known as lesions. The subsequent attacks usually last about five days. Time magazine reports that people who have herpes are not safe having sex with partners who already have the disease. They can be reinfected in different parts of the body or may receive a different strain of the disease. Although herpes is not the worst veneral disease (untreated gonorrhea and syphillis do far more damage), it cannot be cured. When a pregnant woman has an active herpes infection at the time of birth, her baby has a high chance of getting the disease if it is delivered vaginally. A large percentage of these babies will either die or have brain damage. (Continued on page 9) Security Force Criticized Many people were critical of security’s performance during the power-outage, but Mr. Ralph Burwell, Director of Security, stated that his department did as adequate a job as was possible with the available resour ces. The security department employs only ten officers working three shifts and in case of emergencies such as the blackout, off-duty personnel must be called in. The hiring of additional of ficers is in the long-range planning stage, but currently Mr. Burwell says, “No physical resources have been ad dressed to the best of my knowledge.” Mr. Burwell also cited the continving expense of such things as auto repairs, gasoline and repair of equipment in addition to salaries and other operating costs. The Butler Building parking lot (loi F) is not being paved. 'The recent work that has been done involves repair and updating of the sewage system, which was damaged by the severe storm during the summer, causing FSU to be without power for several days. This parking lot, designated for com muting, or off-campus students, will eventually be paved, but no definite time has been set. Even with the seemingly large in crease in automobile registration (from $5 to $20) the department plans no major changes other than overall im proved performance. Already, the of ficers are becoming more strict in en forcing parking \io\ation5—especiaWy those vehicles parked improperly (backed in) or in non-designated lots. Fines for these violations have been in creased to $7.50. Mr. Burwell also voiced concern about students who park in business or residential areas near the campus to avoid the $20 registration fee. He has received com plaints and towing of the vehicles may become necessary. Other improvements being made in clude the assignment of a crime preven tion officer. This officer will work closely with dormitory residents and other students to help diminish the op portunity for crime. Also plans are in the making for the installation of man ned booths at each campus entrance. This would help to curb the influx of non-members of the university. Governor Speaks Here Governor Jim Hunt was guest speaker at the Chancellor’s Mindpower Dinner held here to open the activities of “National Higher Education Week.” At the Sept. 30 dinner. Governor Hunt praised the school’s record of at tracting non-black students (now 22 percent) and went on to address the value of FSU to the community. Governor Hunt expressed concern about the future of higher education which is doubtful because of increasing cut backs in federal funding. “We could be seeing a 50 percent reduction in the amount of federal loan and financial aid to students. He described “robbing of education” as a “disastrous course.” The Voice Speaking For Ourselves Volume 37, Number 2 The Voice is published twice monthly September through May and once during each of the summer sessions.
