Jones Reporter While many college students may consider themselves masters at the art of beer drinking, one Texas A&M graduate believes most have much to learn. Former student Richard Malloy hopes the home brewing class he will be teaching for MSC University PLUS will broaden his students’ knowledge and respect for beer. “The main emphasis of the class,” Malloy said, “is not only to teach people how to brew beer but to teach them to be responsible drinkers and appreciate what a quality beer is. “We want to create a responsible drinker by teaching people tnere is a whole world of flavors out there. If you just sit back, look, listen and taste you will get an appreciation for the beer itself and learn to respect it. The responsibility to alcohol con sumption follows along with that.” In the class, which begins Oct. 6 and costs $30 for students and $32 for non-students, Malloy plans to C resent different aspects of beer rewing and the brewing industry. In addition to the actual demonstra tions of how to brew different types of beer, students will learn about the various styles of beer available to the world. To supplement his own knowl edge of brewing beer, Malloy has in vited three guest speakers, including the president of Shiner Beer. This is only the second time this class has been offered to A&M stu dents through the University PLUS program. According to Malloy, when they first offered the class in Spring 1988 it came about so quickly there was not enough time to prop erly publicize it. “We had seven students in my first class,” Malloy said. “I was ex tremely excited by the response the students had.” One of Malloy’s former students, Barbara Collier-Foyt, said while she had done some brewing before she attended the class, Malloy’s instruc tion increased her understanding. “Having it in a detailed, organized format helped me to assimilate some technical material I could not pick up before,” Collier-Foyt said. Malloy hopes the thoughtful down-to-earth approach his class takes will assist in changing the neg ative image that has followed home brewing since Prohibition. “Everyone thinks about their grandfather brewing beer in his bathtub,” he said. “That is long go ne.” According to Malloy, home brew ing has been legal since a law passed during President Carter’s adminis tration in 1977 allowing the process with some restrictions. a re tea- is a “We want to create sponsible drinker by ching people there whole world of flavors out there.

Added to the federal list were two types of beetles, a spider, a tiny in sect resembling a scorpion and a kind of daddy-longlegs. The action means mat the species, which are known to exist only in a few caves in Travis and Williamson counties, are protected by the U.S. government. Anyone harming them is subject to civil or criminal penalties under the Endangered Species Act. The caves they occupy are located on private land in an area of north western Travis County. Construction projects, including utility lines, roads and a 1,500-acre commercial and residential devel opment, have been criticized by en vironmentalists who say the work threatens the creatures as well as an endangered species of bird, the black-capped vireo. Last month, members of the group Earth First! began a nine-day protest, occupying several caves, to call attention to the development and what they said was a threat to the five species. David Curtis, assistant supervisor in the Fort Worth office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said the creatures were listed officially in last Friday’s “Federal Register.” “It’s about time,” responded Bill Bunch, an Austin lawyer represent ing Earth First! “But the true test will be to see what will be done in terms of pro tecting the habitat of these crea tures, Bunch said. The Travis County Audubon So ciety petitioned the government early in 1985 to list six cave creatures as endangered. The Fish and Wildlife Service proposed listing five of them in April. Concerned about increased devel opment in the area of the caves, Earth First! members and others had pushed since spring to get the government to make the listings on an emergency basis. A concern has been that digging and other construction work would disrupt drainage of the area and cause irreparable damage. Curtis said his office had met with landowners in the area to make cer tain development didn’t harm the creatures. The next step will be to study the best ways to guarantee long-term protection, he said. Curtis said last month’s Earth First! protests didn’t influence the decision to list the creatures as en dangered. Two Hunt brothers seek business reorganization DALLAS (AP) — Nelson Bunker Hunt and William Herbert Hunt each filed for personal business re organization Wednesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Dallas, a spokesman for the two brothers said. Tom Whitaker, executive vice president for the Hunt Energy Corp., said the decision to seek Chapter 11 reorganization came as a result of a court’s requirement to post a $225 million bond to file an appeal of their loss last month in a New York federal court. A federal jury decided that the two Hunts and brother Lamar Hunt must pay more than $130 million in damages for conspiring to corner the world’s silver market in the late 1970s, ruining the investments of Minpeco SA, the Peruvian govern ment’s mineral marketing company. The Hunts maintain that Peru, as the second largest producer of silver in the world, could only be helped as the silver prices roses. The Hunts said they chose bank ruptcy to keep Minpeco attorneys from beginning foreclosure pro ceedings on their personal assets un til their appeal can be made. “Bunker and Herbert believe the jury verdict in New York is so unjust that they elected to seek Chapter 11 protection of the United States Bankruptcy Court in order to en sure their ability to continue their businesses while at the same tir*e ap pealing the silver case,” Whitaker said in a prepared statement. The Hunts said raising $225 mil lion in an extremely depressed econ omy would force a “fire sale” of as sets, and also would have resulted in payment to business and per- 1 creditors. non- sona Malloy hopes teaching tlit dents about the two different' of brews will help develop the;: ates for good, quality beers. “The philosophy of home ing in this country,” he said,“ij;: to brew styles that are not ak available or hard to obtain." Malloy compares the flavort( beer he makes to that of ii beers from Europe.

Malloy said that if someone «l |. time into home brewing for theta® jj yvas t Clyde Collins, district superinten dent of the Texas Alcoholic Bever age Commission, said the law per mits an individual to make 200 gallons of beer per year for his per sonal use only. Malloy said the homebrewing process itself has improved since the days of old men and bathtubs. “The technology and ingredients available to home brewers today is equal to or exceeds what is available to commercial brewers,” he said. During the six week course, Mal loy plans to explain the technology and processes available to the home brewer. He will demonstrate first how to make a traditional ale and later a traditional lager. The initial demonstration will be a simple recipe in which the class uses a pre-made extract. This eliminates many steps because the initial proc ess is already done for the brewer. “Later, in the fourth week,” Mal loy said, “we’re going to do an all grain demonstration showing the student how to make a beer from the malted barley itself.” cal aspect he is missing thepoia “L tant 1 those ™ T1 “It is a unique opportumn; University is offering,” Mai “This is a wonderful nobby. “The students’ developmtiij brewing does not stop attW:| the course.
