Coffeehouse sheds light on student taler
By Amy Protas
The Battalion
M SC Town Hall will con
vert Rudder Fountain
into a virtual coffee
house with fiction readings and
music Friday night.
Stephen Sandlin, a vice chair
man of Coffeehouse and a senior
forestry major, said Coffeehouse
offers amateur performers a place
to display a variety of talents.
"It’s basically a venue for po
ets, dancers, musicians, bands,
comedians or any other kind of
act,” Sandlin said. “We offer them
a place to showcase themselves
free of charge.”
Often times, Coffeehouse is the
first large audience an artist dis
plays their craft in front of. San
dlin said when Lyle Lovett was a
student at A&M, Coffeehouse was
the first place he played.
Friday, there will be two short
fiction writers, an electric bass
guitar player and a guitar duo
called I’m Nate, That’s Casey.
Chris Carpenter, an English
graduate student who will be
reading fiction he wrote, said this
will be his first Coffeehouse.
“I will be doing a semi-humor
ous story called The Great Under
belly,” Carpenter said. “It’s about
a football player that gets buried
with his trainers, like the way
some societies used to bury their
kings with all their servants.”
Trent Masiki, an English
graduate student, will also do a
reading of his short fiction. He
said he gets his ideas from a
variety of events.
Coffeehouse audiences usually
average about 150-200 people.
Masiki said he likes to perform at
this venue because it builds his
confidence in his writing.
“1 really enjoy it,” Masiki said.
“I get to see if my work moves the
audience. I hope they get some
value and are en
tertained.” IT
Sandlin said %
Townhall tries to
offer a variety of W
programming
with Coffeehouse.
In addition to fiction
readings, there will
also be music.
Rick Garza, a
senior electronics
engineering tech
nology major, is
playing the
electric bass at JR
Coffeehouse. || 1
He describes
his style as be- j
ing funky with
a jazzy / new
age mix.
“I started off trying top
guitar, hut it didn’t ]
Garza said. “I moved ont|
electric bass. 1 will beplai

For Cronkite, it's a
long way from the Pup
HOUSTON (AP) — Walter
Cronkite has fond memories of
his high school days as a Purple
Pup reporter.
The CBS anchorman walked
the halls Tuesday of Lanier Mid
dle School, where he worked for
the school newspaper more than
65 years ago.
“There’s nothing like this
thrill of coming back today,”
Cronkite, 79, told students. “I
started my journalism career at
Lanier. I was a contributing
writer at the F*urple Pup.”
Cronkite visited the school af
ter receiving the Denton A. Coo
ley Leadership Award. Former
Gov. Ann Richards presented
the award, named for the heart
surgeon and founder of the
Texas Heart Institute.
“Without people like
(Cronkite) our children would
have no role models, no one to
imitate as they grow to adult
hood,” Richards said.
