Ladies' night / from page 1
$5. The La Hayette's business has increased since J-Term.
"Business definitely picked up, but I am not sure if it was because of the ladies' night special or not," said Scott Amundson, general manager of the La Hayette. "First semester is always quiet while second semester and J-Tenn are more busy."
The La Hayette ran their ladies1 night special until last week, wheathey, too,
It is kind of ridiculous making it a discriminatory issue/
• Scott Amundson, general manager of the La Playette
heard about the state ruling. Ttey plan on keeping the "Thirsty Thursday" special but will now charge both males and females the same $5 price for the special.
Amundson said they win have to "play it by ear* to see what will happen. If this special does not work they will try something else.
"It will be interesting to see if the La lowers the price they charge the guys to the price tt*y charged the girls for the special like I did," Schneider said.
"It is kind of ridiculous making it a discriminatory issue," said Amundson about the complaint filed by Homer.
Desoda's, a bar in St Cloud, also used ladies' night specials.
"Wfe were in the middle of one as part of a promo," said general manager Gary Barby.
Desoda's promotion is called "Harley, leather and ladies." As part of the promo-tloa the bar will give away a Hariey-Davidsan motorcycle and leather jackets. Until last week, Desoda's had a drink special for ladies.
According to Barby, the bar is not making any maj or changes in their promotion, besides dropping the Coots light tap special whichthey only gave to ladies.
"It wont hurt business but is just another factor in doing promos," said Barby in reference to the state ruling
Manjr agree with tte ruling, but they believe the bars had no discriminatory intentions. Instead, they believe the bars used the ladies' night special for the same reason they use other specials— to get more people into their bar.
"I agree with the decision made about ladies1 rA$k but I dont believe it was an act of discrimination," said CSB junior Lori Zahrbock. The reason ladies' night was created was to get people into the bar, both men and women"

Pelikan will speak at 8 p.m. that day in the Steven B. Humphrey Theater.
