Ashe memorial statue dedicated
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The city that barred
young Arthur Ashe from its whites-only tennis courts
dedicated a monument to him Wednesday on a boule
vard lined with statues of Confederate heroes.
The 12-foot bronze statue of the first black
man to win Wimbledon was unveiled on Monu
ment Avenue after more than a year of racially
divisive bickering in the former capital of the
Confederacy.
“Arthur Ashe Jr. is a true Virginia hero, and he
belongs,” Ashe’s brother, Johnnie Ashe of Atlanta,
told about 1,500 people at the ceremony.
Ashe left his segregated hometown as a teen
ager. He died in 1993 of AIDS, contracted from a
blood transfusion he received during heart surgery.
Plans to honor Ashe with a statue on Monu
ment Avenue drew bitter opposition from people
who said the street should be reserved for leaders
of the Confederacy.
“Were not going to allow this to happen without
some sort of protest,” said Ron Doggett, who held up
one end of a protest banner at the unveiling.
Doggett said he had no problem with honoring Ashe,
but felt Monument Avenue was the wrong place.
The statue’s creator, Paul DiPasquale, disagreed.
“Isn’t it for monuments? Isn’t it for heroes? No
one questions that Arthur Ashe was a hero,” Di
Pasquale said.

People-watching allows us to
find humor and lessons in Lit
HU I
luly 11,
O oooh man, it’s summer
and most of us have a lit
tle extra time on our
hands. So what the heck are we
supposed to do with ourselves
(after we, like, study or some
thing)? A poor college student’s
choices are pretty limited.
Let’s see, we could sit
around and watch the typical
reruns of every decent show
there is. Boring. We could all
go rollerblading or biking. No,
that involves money and road
rash. Or we could just go out
and drink more. Maybe, but hangovers and
bounced checks get old fast.
I guess we could just sit around and stare at
people . . . wait, yeah that’s it, the sport of peo
ple-watching. Think about it — we all do it any
way, unless you walk around staring at the
ground. So why can’t we make it more fun?
Come to think of it, I think it should get a cu
bicle in the Student Activities Office. Better yet,
the Olympic Games in Atlanta should consider it
a new exhibition sport. Thousands of people will
be people-watching there anyway.
It’s an art form really. You see, the cool thing
about this sport is that it doesn’t discriminate.
Whether you’re a freako, a non-freako, a two-
strapper, or a one-strapper, black, white, green,
purple, short, tall, male or female, anyone who can
read this silly column can be a people-watcher.
But, like any sport you have to have to lay
down some ground rules.
First, you have to establish your playing
field. You must be in the presence of at least
five people you
don’t know.
W atching
your roommate
stand in the
middle of the
room, pick his
or her nose
and eat it
doesn’t count.
This can be
done in virtually
any public
place: sitting on
a bench outside,
in the MSC Flag
Room, in class
during a boring
lecture or at our
ever-popular
Student Recre
ation Center.
Of course, as
in any sport,
you have to
keep score. You
get points for
watching some
one do some
thing odd or
disgusting.
WW at Does
TH \ M YL. SM e's
with what they find), 50 points for someont
scratching themselves, 50 points for a ver;
large person wearing a very small bathing suit
and of course all points are doubled if the per
son is over 40 years old — tripled if it’s a pro
fessor or administrator.
Any other odd or disgusting act you witnes
can be assigned points at your discretion accord
ing to how funny it is. Of course, you get5(
points for staring at a very good-looking girloi
guy, but use extreme caution — you lose 10
points if he or she catch you staring — a go«
way to screw up a good score.
Remember, making fun of people where the;
can hear it is not cool. If you get caught laughing
at a football player’s girlfriend and get a fat lip
— suck it up, it’s your own fault.
So is people-watching a stupid ploy from
the snobs in Aggieland to gain new members?Of
course not. It doesn’t make you a snob. Everyone
does it, anyway. Making a sport of it only makes
it more fun.
Anyone can do it, and anyone can be a victim
What goes around comes around. That’s the
beauty of it.
Personally, my favorite spot to people-watch is
the outdoor pool at the Student Recreation Cen
ter. It’s a great place to do some people-watching
and get a tan at the same time.
Plus, the potential for points is incredible
The people parked on those rafts and loungi
chairs seem to think they have a shell around
them.
How many times does a girl have to adjus:
her bathing suit in a five-minute period? Om
provisional freshman (provie) I saw set the
record at six.
On a serious note, the
world and especially
America is a wonderful
place because of the
people who live here

and all their interest

funny little behav

Ingram brings Texas
folk back to Bryan
By Michael Cordova
The Battalion
With a wholesome folk sound and his Taylor
810 guitar, Jack Ingram has forged his niche in
the country music scene and captured a unique
country sound. Ingram, and the Beat Up Ford
band will ride into the Dixie Theater Saturday
night to continue their journey into the hearts of
their fans.
Ingram, a regular for several years in the
Bryan-College Station area, said he enjoys coming
to College Station.
“I love coming back to A&M because they were
the first ones who took us in,” he said. “They did-
JACK INGRAM
n’t judge us and just let us play. They helped us
play at the places where we play now.”
Before his following began, Ingram made his
amateur debut at Adair’s Saloon while attending
Southern Methodist University. He said he
learned a few songs, invited his roommates and
friends, and began a Tuesday night tradition at
the popular Dallas bar.
“After a while, more and more people started to
come and the music got better,” he said. “It was
good for me. I wasn’t going anywhere, just play
ing in my room.”
Since his amateur solo debut, Ingram has
gained notoriety for his straightforward lyrics and
Texas folk sound.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram describes his
music as, “post-outlaw modern country with a
salty, dance-all-night roadhouse spunk.”
As a foundation for his songs, Ingram said he
uses sounds from his music heroes. His influences
include country legends Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff
Walker and Merle Haggard.
“I listened to their music because it was simple
and strong,” he said. “They have the kind of music
that you can just turn out the lights and listen to.”
Ingram himself has a simple sound that has en
deared Texan audiences since the release of his
self-titled debut album in 1993. Ingram said he
finds inspiration for his songs in everyday life.
“I just see something that moves me to write,”
he said. “Seeing people on the side of the road or
people just hanging around inspire me.”
Apparently, Ingram’s music has drawn quite a
following. His second album Lonesome Questions
and debut album has sold over 20,000 copies.
He said he hopes his newest album, Live at
Adair’s, the success of his third album will follow
the same path. But more importantly, Ingram just
envisions playing good music.
“I just want to make good records and write
good songs,” Ingram said. “The rest takes care of
itself.”
After his show in Bryan, Ingram and the Beat
Up Ford band will travel west to play in Colorado
and California. However, Ingram will return to
Luckenbach to team up with Jerry Jeff Walker on
Labor Day.
“I’m excited about coming back,” Ingram said.
“I was there last year and it rocked.”
