Michener
says West
is for him
United Press International
LUBBOCK — Author James
Michener told Texas Tech Uni
versity Wednesday students that
he probably would live some
where west of Abilene if he were
to become a Texas resident.
Michener visited Lubbock so
he could learn more about the
Ogallala aquifer. He has spent
the last several months resear
ching for a book he plans to
write about Texas.
Michener, 76, said several
pages would be devoted to West
Texas, a region he became ac
quainted with as a youth while
traveling from Amarillo to San
Antonio.
“My new book will be 85 per
cent finished by the time I even
get to West Texas,” Michener
said.
The state’s immigration
problems also have been men
tioned in some of his previous
novels, he said.
Known for devoting seg
ments of his books to geology,
Michener said he would not con
centrate much on Texas geology
because he wrote about it in pre
vious novels.
However, water and oil geolo
gy important to the Texas would
be included in the new novel,
Michner said.
“The geology of Texas is not
as interesting as the geology of
Colorado,” Michener said,
quickly adding “but any geology
tnat provides the oil that Texas’
does has got to be interesting.”
The novel will be about the
entire state, Michener said,
adding he did not want to be
come trapped writing about
only Dallas, Houston and San
Antonio. The story’d construc
tion is an escape from that
triangle, he said.
“You will not be disappointed
if I write what I have in mind to
write,” he promised.

panel of three student entrep-
neurs from Texas universities
vill discuss how they started
heir own businesses in a meet-
tig at 7 tonight in 601 Rudder.
The Society for Entrep-
icurship and New Ventures,
oup formed to help students
reed in the free enterprise
ystem, is sponsoring the
:eting.
| ‘We want to provide
a meeting place for
people interested in
entrepreneurship
and small business. ”
The three speakers are: Marc
Ostrofsky, University of Texas
student; Mitchell Butler, a
Texas A&M student; and Mark
Wyant, a Southern Methodist
University.
Ostrofsky owns a company
called Kermar that sells jewelry
», and Marco’s Polo shirts. He also
wor ^ s f° r an Austin real-estate
T T agency selling condominiums.
Butler formerly owned the
:al T-shirt Plus stores.
Wyant owns a charter airline
company that transports money
for Purolator Courier.
The society, organized a year
ago, is for students owning a
business or for those hoping to
own one.
“We want to provide a meet
ing place for people interested
in entrepreneurship and small
business,” vice-president Neill
Marshall said.
The objectives of the society
are:
*Give first-hand experience
in entrepreneurship.
*Develop and sharpen per
sonal skills not ordinarily
learned in the classroom.
*Supply a personal network
of on and off-campus contacts.
*Promote skills in oral pre
sentations and group leader
ship.
Marshall said anyone can join
the society regardless of his ma
jor. “Anybody can start a busi
ness,” he said. “It’s not just for
business majors.”
An upcoming meeting will
host Norman Brinker who
started the Steak and Ale res
taurants and the Bennigan’s
chain and now owns the Chili’s
restaurants.
