A laughing situation for College Station
A Good Humor Bar opens
By KATHERINE P. HURT
Staff Writer
Tuesday was a night of firsts for A
Good Humor Bar — College Sta
tion’s first comedy bar in Culpepper
Plaza.
The first joke on its first night of
existence? Jeff Schilling, master of
ceremonies for the evening and co
owner of A Good Humor Bar with
his wife Marty and Tracy and Edgar
Carlson, opened the snow, asking
the audience, "Did everyone have a
good day? I did, I saw a Bryan cop
car with a flat tire ... really made my
day.”
Ray Martinez, the first comedian
Schilling introduced, owns a comedy
club in Houston, the Comedy Show
case, and has been working with
Schilling for years. Addressing fe
male egotism, to the chagrin of men
in the crowd, Martinez lauded the
superiority of women. \
On the average, women have a
higher intelligence level and a
higher tolerance of pain — after all,
who has the babies? — Martinez
asked. Women are also better driv
ers he said — they can apply makeup
and maneuver a car at the same
time.
The next guest, Ray Chapa from
Los Angeles, deservedly earned
more applause than his predecessor.
He opened with a string of long
words, such as “presumptuous” and
“exude,” telling the largely college-
aged audience to “look them up.”
The most memorable part of his
act was an erotic mating scene be
tween two random members of the
crowd that he ficticiously inter-
K reted with his clarinet. After which
e remarked, “Now all you ladies
will be anxious to take the clarinet
home pregnancy test.”
T he small and intimate A Good
Humor Bar, open regularly on
Wednesday through Saturday
nights, will likely become a College
Station entertainment institution —
another first in a town where the
pickings are slim. After all, it had to
turn away part of its first crowd on
its first night of business because it
just couldn’t accommodate them all.

MADD supporting new bill
Associated Press
AUSTIN — A Senate bill was in
troduced Tuesday that would outlaw
open containers of alcoholic bever
ages inside most motor vehicles — a
measure backed by the state’s top
law enforcement officer and a lobby
dedicated to stiffening penalties for
drunken driving.
The bill by Sen. Bill Sarpalius was
endorsed by Jim Adams, director of
the Texas Department of Public
Safety, and Marinelle Timmons,
president of the Texas chapter of
Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
“MADD feels that the open con
tainer (bill) is our top priority this
legislative session for the simple rea
son that we don’t think Texas will
ever take drunk driving seriously as
long as it’s legal to drink and drive,”
Timmons said at a news conference.
Sarpalius’ bill also would prohibit
passengers who are accessible within
five feet of the driver from carrying
open containers of alcoholic bever
ages.
“It would be how far that driver
could reach and then five feet,” he
said.
Sarpalius said the bill would ban
open containers “within the passen
ger portion of an automobile/’
Violators could be fined up to
$200.
“We’re not trying to stop all pas
senger drinking,” said Sarpalius, D-
Canyon. “For instance, passengers
on buses still could drink. Passengers
in recreational vehicles wouldn’t be
affected.”
He also said a ticket for drinking
while driving could raise a motorists’
auto insurance.
Adams, chairman of a task force
on traffic safety, said in the First nine
months of 1984 open alcoholic con
tainers were found at the scene in 13
percent of the fatal accidents.
Adams said police of ficers and ad
ministrators he had talked to “feel
that this law would improve volun
tary compliance” with the proposed
law, and “would reduce the amount
of drinking and driving."
“The opposition to the bill, of
course, isn’t just a good guy-bad guy,
liquor industry vs. law enforcement,”
Adams said. “It’s a very delicate bal
ance when you start regulating peo
ple’s interest and telling them they
can’t do something.”
