SU had stuffed the revived radio station, and also for a time was where the production offices of the Reveille were located down the hall. Even with an occasionally-working AC, the facilities were... challenging.

I was working as a student photographer in media relations at that time. There was a small dungeon type room off the NE stadium entrance dedicated to photographers. It had a small darkroom and a telex machine to send photos immediately out over the wire. The famous sports photographer Walter Iooss was shooting a game one night, gets his shot, rushes in and sends out his photo. As we walk out of the room together, Annie Liebowitz (another famous photographer) is standing there with a large format Hasselblad. She was along for the ride with him and had been taking stills of the stadium architecture. I would kill to see those slides.

Speaking of the Reveille in 1985, my best friend was selling advertising for them. It was commission sales and he absolutely killed it selling the page ads to the bars for their Thursday and Friday editions.

So, one of his accounts was the Texas Club on N. Donmoor. He convinces me to go over there to collect a check/drop off ad copy on a Wednesday which was their male stripper night. We go in as the show is starting and for two hours it is no dudes allowed. The manager is cool and laughs and tells us we can hang out at the bar. We are a couple of 18 year old freshman college kids and for the next two hours we were fish in a barrel. We were brutally hit on for two hours by all of these "ancient chicks" who were in their mid 30's. At one point we had a dozen free drinks in front of us. If I only knew then what I know now... An all time night that we still talk about.
