A&M Focus: Town Hall
MSC program aims for diversified schedule this year
-fly JOHN RIGHTER”
Diversity in the goal of Town
Hall this year, says Chair Steven
Wall,
The MSC student organisation
eeordinates and presents between
five and 10 shows a year, ranging
from comedy to country music to
club shows.
In the past, Town Hall has
planned its schedule around a
major country music show in the
fall and spring, with several other
comedy and rock music events in
between.
Last year, Town Hall pre
sented Restless Heart, Baillie and
the Boys, and Asleep At The
Wheel as its country snow in the
fall, and George Strait and Patty
Loveless performed together in
the spring.
Other shows last year included
R.E.M., Indigo Girls, the Second
City comedy troupe from Chi
cago and the Coors Light Com
edy Commandos, featuring Da
vid Naster and Taylor Mason.
Wall says that Tow n Hall plans
to broaden beyond the staple
country shows this year. Of spe
cial interest, is the possibility of
expanding the organization’s club
format.
Last year’s Indigo Girls concert
in DeWare Auditorium was very
successful, Wall says, and he

Town Hall has brought per
formers like George Straight
and Asleep at the Wheel to
A&M students in the past.
hopes that Town Hall stages seve
ral of these type shows, which
would include smaller rock and
alternative groups and possibly
some jazz and reggae artists.
With the acoustic problems of
G. Rollie White Auditorium (The
ceiling supports won’t hold the
sound equipment, so the nor
mally flown sound system is in
stead stacked on the floor) and
the disappointing crowd turnout
for anything but the country
shows, it makes sense to focus on
the smaller club shows for the
rock, alternative and jazz shows.
Wall says Town Hall could pre
sent shows at a number of places
on campus, including DeWare
and Rudder Auditorium.
Also, there is a possibility that
in the future Town Hall might
pursue a joint venture with the
Front Porch Cafe.
Wall says talks between Town
Hall and Front Porch owner
Hugh Stearns are underway, but
such a venture would not be pos
sible before the spring semester.
The main goal of Town Hall
this year, Wall says, is to provide a
more well-rounded entertain
ment package for Texas A&M
and the surrounding Bryan-Col-
lege Station area.
As of yet, the ’90-91 schedule is
tentative, but Wall says he hopes
to have the fall schedule con
firmed by the second week of
school,
In addition to the m^jor pre
sentations, Wall says that Coffee
house will continue in Rumours
every Friday at 8 p,m. this fall.
Coffeehouse is an open forum
for every brand of entertainment.
Wall describes the free-forum
event as “a folkie kind of thing
that is mostly musical based, but
certainly not limited to that.”
Any freshmen or transfer stu
dents interested in joining Town
Hall for the ’90-91 school year
should attend the MSC Open
House on Sunday, September 2,
where applications to join will be
passed out. About 20 freshmen-
transfers will be selected to ac
company the roughly 100 mem
bers selected last spring.
The Town Hall council for this
year in addition to Wall is Brigid
Canty, vice chair of concerts;
Mark Kirk, vice chair of club; Da
vid Reysa, vice chair of Coffee
house and Jeffrey Brown, vice
chair of house. Dave Salmon is
the organization’s advisor.

ing events for this year, call the
