Battalion Classifieds Call 845-2611 SHINER (AP) — This is one spirited town. On Friday nights, when the local high school team scores a touchdown, the band breaks into a tune more familiar to Czech beer gardens than a small-town foot ball field. The words go something like this: “When we settled upon Shiner “The sun was shining bright “When we settled upon Shiner “The sun was shining bright “We were drinking and having a good time “When we settled upon Shiner.” And if fans are particularly excited, they might sing the second verse: “When we settled upon the brewery “The barrel was empty “But we kept on drinking “And having a good time “Until the barrel was empty.” Beer means something in this Czech-German com munity, and beer means Shiner and the spirit of Kos- mos Spoetzl. What began in 1909 with farmers and merchants try ing to brew beer to their liking, Spoetzl turned into a small industry that put Shiner on the map. “You can see Mr. Spoetzl’s pride all the way around here, every place you go,” said George Korkmas, presi dent of K. Spoetzl Brewery, which produces Shiner Bock and Shiner Premium beer. A Bavarian who perfected his beer-brewing talentsit Egypt, Spoetzl died in 1950, but his pictures still han; on the brewery walls and old-timers still talk aboutlii generosity and cunning ways during Prohibition. “Everybody who came in, they got a case of beer,1 year-old Herbert Siems, a friend of Spoetzl’s who raiii bar in Shiner for years, said. “He didn’t care who the were.” Siems took charge of the Spoetzl Brewery “hospital ity room” 24 years ago and now serves free beer to brewery visitors and local folks in this town of about 2,000. During Prohibition, Spoetzl’s brewery produced It gal “near beer.” But it’s common knowledge that near beer wasn’t the only beverage Spoetzl was brewing. Townspeople often stopped by for bottles of illejal beer under the guise of getting ice from the brewer, Spoetzl doled out ice and beer, but the ice soon w be dumped into nearby Boggy Creek. “They didn’t care too much about getting this ice- but they wanted some of that good beer,” Siems said, One time during Prohibition a truckload of Shiner beer was caught making its way into Louisiana, said Dr Patrick Wagner, brewery museum curator. “He got caught,” Wagner said. “There was somehnl labaloo over it. But he never went to the penitentiary." Employees have stayed with Shiner an average of 2(l- plus years. Joe Green, for instance, drove a Spoetd truck for 62 years and now is retired and living in town Plaintiffs plan to take punches rather than settling for money HOUSTON (AP) — A woman who lost her husband in a construc tion accident says it will be a real pleasure to belt the defense attorney who refused to hand over a set tlement in the deal. “I would love to hit him,’’Anna Manz of Cincinnati, Ohio, the mother-in-law of the deceased, said. “I just think that something would be behind me that I could almost knock him flat.” She’ll get her chance. The defense attorney, Tom Alex ander, said he’d rather take a beat ing than ask his client to part with $50,000 in settlement offer for a wrongful death suit. The plaintiffs took him up on it. Alexander, who represents Derr Construction Co. of Euless, in a two- year-old civil suit, agreed to allow Manz and her daughter, Machelle Parks, and their attorneys to hit him rather than permit his client to pay a settlement in the case. “The clients are very pleased,” Al exander said. “He likes to have a lawyer, so to speak, who will go to the mat for him.” Derr was one of several de fendants in the wrongful death case brought by Parks on behalf of her husband, Billy Parks, 29, a labor foreman who was killed in a January 1987 construction fall from the George R. Brown Convention Cen ter in Houston. The couple had a 3-year-old daughter at the time and Parks was seven months pregnant with their son. The litigants agreed last Sept. 26 to a roughly $3 million settlement to be shared by all the defendants. But when Alexander learned his partner offered a $50,000 share for Talking chip adds sound to magazines DALLAS (AP) — Readers of a major magazine this week will sud denly become listeners when they get to a four-page advertisement by Texas Instruments, Inc. “I am a talking chip,” says the computer-generated voice, kicking off a 17-second speech extolling the wonders of TI technology. The voice is activated by pulling off a “Lift and Listen” tab in more than 200,000 selected copies of Business Week magazine. The ad — apparently the first fea turing voice — uses TI’s own tech nology and is intended to show not only the marketing possibilities, but spark ideas for other uses of a new, cheaper speech synthesis computer chip. “For years, high-quality speech has been a luxury that manufactur ers added only to consumer prod ucts with price points of $50, $75, $100 or more,” Ken Melvin, TI’s product manager for semiconductor speech, said. “Our goal has been to reduce the cost of speech technology to make it practical in more applica tions.” The ad, which will run in 140,000 copies of Business Week’s Oct. 20 in dustrial-technology edition and 76,000 Nov. 20 international edi tions, is based on a new chip that costs less than $2 each to produce in quantity. Although costs for this ad were lower, TI said a similar ad would cost about $4 to produce in quantity over 200,000. Reducing the chip cost to under $2 allows products using the tech nology to sell at retail for about $10, Melvin said. Derr, he angrily refused the set tlement. “It was something that isn’t easily forgotten,” Manz said. “He was loud and he insisted that he wouldn’t pay this. “Machelle was under such a strain anyway, he could have saved his comments,” Manz said. “He just kept really spouting off. . . I really knew if I could just sock him, it would bejuj Hfied ” “He was acting very pompous ant was reneging on the agreement Dale Friend, who represents Park said “My lawyer said, ‘If we can, stand in line and sock you one, tk you don’t have to pay the money Parks, who now lives in Cincinnaij said. “And he agreed to it.” In Advance Public forum will discuss expansion of MSC By Holly Becka Of The Battalion Staff MSC expansion plans will be discussed during a public forum at 7 p.m. today in Rudder The ater. Steve Hodge, manager of the University Center, will present expansion plans and answer ques tions from students and faculty members. Student Body President Kevin Buchman said the public forum is an opportunity for students to ex press their concerns about the ex pansion and to receive informa tive, accurate answers to questions they might have. “We are really trying to pro mote this,” Buchman said. “The main reason for this is so students can see what is planned, and so they can ask questions. Mr. Hodge will present plans, the blueprints .and talk about which trees have to be moved and which will have to be cut. A video show ing how oak trees around the state capitol in Austin were moved will be shown, and it talks about the success rate. “A lot of students have ex pressed their concerns with let ters to the editor about the ex pansion, and I think many have questions, like why can’t they build up or use the vacant lot by I Cain Hall, and so on. Mr. Hodge will give honest, accurate an swers.” Buchman said 200 student I leaders were invited to the forum and asked to spread the word to their organizations. Students wanting to get involved just have to show up, he said. “The forum will probably be two hours long, so they can come whenever they have time,” he said. “If they have to come late,or if they have to leave early, it’s fi ne.” The dress is informal. Alcohol Awareness Week events continue Events for National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week con tinue today with the t.u. challenge and an alcohol prevention and treatment seminar. The seminar, sponsored by the American Medical Students Asso ciation, will be today from noon to 1 p.m. in room 260 of the Col lege of Medicine.

Brazos Writers sponsor creative workshop By Holly Becka Of The Battalion Staff “Writing Without Fear,” a cre ative writing workshop sponsored by Brazos Writers, will be at 9 a.m. Saturday in the College Sta tion Community Center. Saturday’s workshop is the first that has been sponsored by the lo cal writers’ group. The public is invited, and registration is at 8:30 a.m. in the community center. The workshop costs $15. Guest speaker will be Gwynne Elledge, a news editor for the Bryan-College Station Eagle. Elledge said she is interested in trying to get people to not be afraid of writing. “I think that everybody can write, or at least most want to,” she said. “Many people get blocked when they’re writing.” Elledge’s approach comes from a psychological theory on brain iunctions which says (.he iw° halves of the brain work in differ ent ways. “The right side of the brain is the creative side,” she said. “The left side is the structuring or edit ing side. When people write the' never get past the first sentence because they have both sides working against each other.” Elledge said she will lead exer cises that will help writers get past this. She said her presentation will include talk about journal' how to get started writing and how to keep writing. Elledge taught English and writing at the University of North Texas in Denton from 1979 to 1982. She has worked for the Fort Worth Star Telegram, the Dallas Morning News and the Denton Record-Chronicle. She taught adult education coursesio Dallas and Denton in 1988 an 1989 on “journaling” and "writ ing without fear,” and will be us ing materials from the courses.
