Top of the Rock behavior
"Why can’t women come into the Top
of the Rock without being called in-
sulting*1 names by people they don’t
even know? This happened to me this
evening and it makes me very angry.
Standards should be established and
control should be maintained in the
club. It seems that every time I've
been there recently, fights occur,
people break bottles and glasses,
and, in general, the overall behav-
ior of the members is poor. I'm
single and will be reluctant to go
the club in the future. I can im-
agine that many married couples will
never go there. More policing is re-
quired."
Navy Exchange Officer replies
Your complaint is a very valid one
and, hopefully, is one issuance of
club cards will help prevent. The
clubs' management has had a difficult
time policing abusive language in-
stance and breakage on some occasions
since they do not personally observe
the incidents and many times cannot
place blame because of conflicting
stories.
In all cases where action has been
taken when severe violations occurr-
ed, the patrons have been asked to
leave the club.
Often, however, these patrons have
regained entrance later in the even-
ing since the I.D. card is not sur-
rendered to club management.
With club cards in members’ pos-
session, club management will have a
solution to those members who behave
poorly. Managers will remove the
club cards from the partons who will
be denied access without their club
cards.
Club behavior is a twofold problem
that club management should address
and one which the club advisory board
must consider. The advisory board
has a judiciary function to discipline
patrons whose behavior is poor, and a
patron should report any incidents
considered offensive to both club
management and the respective advis-
ory board representative for action.

they got run over by a truck? Now

sonalized Services has added a new

TOWRS & TRAVEL
by Fran Preston
Beat the Winter Bias
It's time to go somewhere... anywhere.
Want to ski with the experts? Try
our one or two week trips to Austria at
either Kitzbuhel or St. Anton. If
that's too far to go, how about a couple
of days skiing at Akureyri or Husavik?
Want to try the Danish way of life
for a few days? We have two flights de-
parting in March, one on the 10th and
one on the 29th—both offer a special
reduced roundtrip airfare price to Co-
penhagen. Go for one day, for 30 days
(or any length in between) and learn
what makes the Dane one of the happiest
people in the world.
Want to get warm? We can send you to
the Canary Islands for eight to 22 days.
You can even come back with a tan and be
the envy of all your friends. Call 4420
or 4200 for more information—all you
need is time and money.
Children in London
In March, the C-118 is going to Eng-
land on several trips. 'London is a fas-
cinating city for people to visit—but,
if you're traveling with young children,
it's possible for them to become tired
and bored and possibly ruin the fun for
all. If, however, you plan your sight-
seeing to include a few things each day
that they'll enjoy, everyone will have a
good time. Following are several at-
tractions that children will particular-
ly enjoy, or specific parts of major at-
tractions that will hold their interest.
The Tower of London, all of London's
history in one place...with dungeons,
jewels, ravens, Beefeaters and suits of
armor—it should keep children quiet for
hours. Mme. Tussaud's—another big one
for kids, has plenty of wax figures plus
souvenier shops, snack bars and a super
penny arcade where a dollar's worth of
pence will keep them occupied all after-
noon.
Another attraction is the Science Mu-
seum near the Victoria and Albert Muse-
um. This museum contains a special
children's section where they can push
buttons and mess with things to their
heart's content. And the Kensington
Palace features the anteroom with a huge
dollhouse that belonged to Queen Victor-
ia as a child, plus a collection of her
other toys and dolls.
The British Museum encompasses lots
of things for kids such as mummies to
give them strange dreams. Also at St.
Paul's—let them try the famous Whisper-
ing Gallery, if you can get them to low-
ex their voices to a whisper.
At the Maritime Museum, a few miles
down the Thames, there are all sorts of
good things from ships, both old and new
about which daddy can explain and im-
press him with his knowledge.
The National History Museum presents
lifelike animal displays and super dino-
saurs. Either the Imperial War Museum
or National Army Museum has aivariety of
weapons and momentoes. Both the Bethnal
Green Museum and Pollock's Toy Museum
have super collections of toys of bygone
ages, to give them new ideas on what to
ask from Santa.
The changing of the guards, a classic
with lots of pagentry, is held at Buck-
ingham Palace at 11:30 a.m. daily.
Changing of the Horse Guards, £ven more
fun since the guards are mounted, takes
place at Whitehall daily at 11 a.m. (10
a.m. on Sunday).
Regent Park Zoo is big, beautiful and
always a winner. HMS Discovery and HMS
Belfast, both moored in the Thames and
open for visitors, are the first polar
research ship, and warship, respective-
iy-
Parks abound throughout London, and
give the kiddies a chance to run around
and be noisy. Try especially St. James
with its waterfowl sanctuary—they can
save their breakfast toast and feed the
birds. Doubledecker busses and English
bobbies become interesting sidelights
when waiting in line to get into some-
thing or another.
A special English treat are plays and
movies which are suitable for all ages.
Fortnum and Mason sports a real mer-
ry-go-round in the toy section which
children may take a free ride on. Har-
rod’s, which has a neat zoo and pet sec-
tion, is good for a few minutes pacifi-
cation.
Out-of-town, if you have a chance,
try Woburn Abbey with its 3,000 acre
park, filled with exotic animals, or
Windsor Castle with its Safari Park and
gigantic doll house that once belonged
to Queen Mary.
