Folklorist says redneck
rock may soon disappear
Redneck rock, that music that
seemed to bring cowboys and
city kids together for a little
mutual bin, is probably on the
way out, largely a victim of its
own acceptance, says a Tarleton
State University folklorist.
Willie Nelson, Waylon Jen
nings and others are attempting a
rebirth, said Dr, Sue McGinity
of TSU, part of the Texas A&M
University System, But their
V primary direction seems to be
putting old wine in new bottles.
“The fresh, seemingly healthy
defiance Nelson and family in
itially brought to country music
has all but disappeared or been
perverted,” explained McGinity,
who has traced the progress of
country music and wants to
document some of the redneck
rock phenomenon before it
fades.
Although Nelson, Jennings,
Jerry Jeff Walker, Asleep at the
Wheel and others are putting
new twists to old standbys, only a
handful of extremist songsters
such as the irreverent Kinky
Friedman and the Texas Jewboys
hold firm “radical innovation,
she says.
When outlaw musicians de
clared Austin the new Nashville,
the movement produced a spate
of imitators. Soon, a movie on
outlaw musicians was made and
the term became a household
word, McGinity saick
Zoning Board grants variances
By FLA VIA KRONE
The College Station Zoning Board
of Adjustment granted two var
iances and denied a third at a meet
ing Tuesday night at City Hall.
The Zoning Board of Adjustment
is a quasi-judicial body that rules on
citizen appeals concerning zoning
ordinances, “non-conforming
building use permits and variances,
says City Attorney Neeley Lewis.
A variance is any exception to the
city ordinances which govern such
things as lot size, building setbacks
and building permits.
In granting a variance, the board
considers whether or not it will
change the characteristics of an area
and if the variance is in the public
interest.
A person must also show that
compliance with a city ordinance
will cause him “undue hardship.
"By and large, undue hardship
means what the board says it
means, said Lewis.
The board denied a variance re
quest for a patio covering from Abe
Cyrus, 1303 Augustine, College
Station.
Building Inspection Department
official Bill Koehler said his office
had received a complaint about the
patio cover from Cyrus’ neighbor,
Joe McNabb of 1302 Angelina Ct.
McNabb said Cyrus built the
patio cover without a permit in
violation of city ordinance. He also
said he could see the cover over his
backyard fence and considered it an
eyesore.
“I don t think not filing a permit is
an excuse to let a structure stand
that reduces the value of my prop
erty, McNabb said. “I didn t pay
the money 1 paid to move into this
area to look at something that looks
like an apartment complex.
Cyrus said he was not aware that
he was in violation of any ordinance
until a building inspector came to

Doctor believe

United Press International
WASHINGTON - A Hai
doctor believ es coca leaves-
legal only for medical useinw
and for the coca flavor in Coe
— could he a beneficial sliiffl
anti-depressant and stomach
remedy.
Andrew Weil, a physician
ing at the Harvard Bui,
Museum, hopes to win govern
approval to develop a prcsir
chewing gum as a safe and
addition to the medical cabinti
not addictive.
The leav es of the South Amu

States except for limited list
cocaine used illegally is 30
percent pure.
Coca leav es contain only ow
of 1 percent cocaine. Wild
leaves are chewed, the littlet«

slowly through the stomach
through membranes of then
and throat.
“That s very different I'roins
ing cocaine or injecting cot
when ther's a sudden rise in
level, Wei 1 said.
Coca — which is diflcreiif
cocoa powder made IVonm
seeds — has been chewed W
tunes by the people of Peru
ombirt, Bolivia and Etjuadin
“Coca is one of the nmstii 1

in the world and is also oned

Once cocaine was isolated
