(AP) — Robert Downey jr. was charged with carry ing crack cocaine, heroin and an un loaded, concealed gun in his truck. The felony charges against the 31- year-old actor, filed Tuesday, stem from a speeding stop last month. He was also charged with drunken driving. If convicted, the Oscar-nom inated star of Chaplin faces up to three years and eight months in prison, though time behind bars was unlikely, said Deputy District Attorney Ellen Aragon. "He's a first-time offender and could take drug diversion classes," she said. "They found a fairly small amounts of drugs."

(AP) — The Epilepsy Foundation of America has established a fund in memory of Mar- gaux Hemingway, who suffered from the disease.

The Margaux Hemingway Memo rial Fund was announced by Paulette Maehara, chief executive officer of NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Eric Dou glas was sentenced to 30 days in prison for letting his dog out its cage during a flight and ignoring repeated requests to put the animal back in. The youngest son of Kirk Douglas also was ordered to pay the maximum $5,000 fine and get drug treatment in prison. The judge rejected a proposal that Douglas serve his time at a drug treatment center. Douglas was "loud and verbally abusive toward the crew" through out the March 1 7 flight from Lqs An geles to New York, and at one point rolled blankets into balls and threw them at flight attendants, an FBI complaint said. ketball tournament — and maybe drop a three- pointer in the mayor's face. The basket ball star joined Mayor Rudolph Giuliani Tuesday at an event to launch the city wide "Mayor's Cup" tourna ment, a projected annual event for boys and girls under 18. Johnson gave a pair of basketball sneakers to Giuliani, who grinned widely as he put them on. "We're going to go over and shoot some hoops," Johnson said, nodding to ward a portable backboard set up in the City Hall parking lot. But once the ceremony ended, Giu- liani ducked back inside City Hall while Johnson chatted, signea auto graphs and tossed a few shots for the cameras. The tourney is scheduled to begin in August. Beer Continued from Page 3 And now it’s microbrewed beers.” The art of beer-tasting as a trend has also spilled over into the art of home-brewing. Smith said home-brewing is an educated hobby — an educated career for others. He said the idea behind home-brewing is not in toxication. People brew their own beer because they want to leam more about different styles of beer. “There are a lot of students who brew and a whole lot of professors,” he said. "There are two lo cal surgeons, an ex-mayor, city attorneys and oth er professionals that brew.” Darryl Dincans, a senior agricultural engineer ing major, is one of the students who brews. In fact, Dincans won Brewfest 2 in the spring with his "Belgian Triple." Dincans makes brewing sound easy. For the 1996 Brewer of the Year title, he leads in points based on contest rankings throughout the year, al though he just started home-brewing in June of last year. "[Brewing] is easy,” Dincans said. "To make good beer is incredibly simple. Trying to perfect it Is when you start spending vast amounts of money." Dincans said learning to brew one's own beer can make a person enjoy and understand the craft more. “Some people may never appreciate beer be cause they only drink one commercial style, which is a watered-down pilsner,” he said. McGreger said gaining knowledge about beer is a worldwide phenomenon, and Americans are just now beginning to catch on. He said the study of beer is a sort of historical and multicultural experience. “Just like religion or society,” he said, “when two cultures meet and meld, each of their tradi tions becomes a permutation of the originals.” McGreger provided a brief history lesson on the effects of culture collisions on beer. He said Sri Lanka makes a strange, stout beer rooted in the colonization era. Many years ago natives had their own brewing process, he said, but when the British came to colonize, their methods were im posed on the existing ways. Blackwelder said Prohibition and World War II shaped the history of American brewing. For in stance, light beer was created during the war for women, since most male beer-drinkers were overseas, "Every time I see a big-booted, huge-belt-buck led fellow with a longneck Bud Light,” he said, "I’m thinking, 'Son, you’re drinking an effeminized version of a female’s beer.’” McGreger said the tour educates the public about the multicultural aspects of beer. But there is a whole world out there the public has vastly ig nored. Beer is just one of them. “I don’t like to limit myself to just beer,” he said. “People could open up to all sorts of things like dif ferent beverages and ethnic foods as well. Beer is simply the tip of the iceberg.” Rocki evidei CINEMARK THEATRES MOVIES 16 HOLLYWOOD USA BRYAN-COLLBOe STATION 1 Hwy e Bypass O Hwy 30 764-7502 \ MOVIES BELOW ARE FIRST-RUN $.{..'50 MATINEES EVERY DAY BEFORE (.I’M AH IK (.I'M AIU'I IS SI.-.O/Hlll I1KI.N A StNIOKS $l.*.l MULTIPLICITY (PG-13) 11:00 1:30 4:10 7:15 10:15 * KAZAAM (PG) 11:15 1:40 4:15 6:50 9:45 C uiy+»+t1UoJ "COURAGE UNDER FIRE (R) (on two screens) 1. 1:15 4:10 7:15 10:15 Sa-t 2. 1:45 4:45 8:00 10:45 INDEPENDENCE DAY (PG-13) (on three screens) 1. 11:30 3:00 6:30 10:10 2. 12:00 3:25 7:00 10:35 3. 12:30 3:55 7:50 10:50 ‘HARRIET THE SPY (PG) 11:35 2:10 4:45 7:10 9:55 THE NUTTY PROFESSOR (PG-13) (on two screens) 1. 11:45 2:45 5:30 7:55 10:25 CSSssD 2. 11:15 1:30 4:55 7:10 10:00 THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (G) 1. 11:30 2:05 4:20 7:05 9:30 c THE ROCK (R) 1. 11:05 2:00 4:55 7:50 10:55 (uiffllftr*} STRIPTEASE (R) 11:00 1:30 3:55 7:30 10:15 1 TWISTER (PG-13) 11:05 1:35 4:20 7:05 10:00 ( u.gi.Tl«M I MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE (PG-13) 11:10 1:45 5:00 7:45 10:25 LONE STAR (NR) 11:00 2:00 5:05 8:00 10:45 NO PASSES OR SUPERSAVER ACCEPTED We re on t he Internet.

Culture For those of us who feel as though summer school cannot satisfy our yearning for knowl edge, there are close museums and exhibits to visit. Johnson Space Center in Houston is a cheap way to spend the day in the air-conditioning and see a lot of cool stuff. Surprisingly, Fort Worth has more to offer than cows and saloons. There is a modem art mu seum and a natural science museum, as well as the old Cullen Davis mansion. For a beautiful and relax ing drive, just go down a long Texas highway and look at the bluebonnets. According to Southern Liv ing’s Texas Vacations issue, “Interstates in Texas look like four-lane art galleries — cruise control corridors showcasing murals of road and sky." Food Food sounds like a bad ex cuse to get out of town, but when you find yourself in a College Station restaurant that actually sells Rolaids at the counter, it’s time to leave. The best steaks can be found less than an hour away at the Country Inn Steak House in Somerville. Galveston is the place to go for seafood or a relaxing evening at the Rock ’n’ Java Coffeehouse— hearing a band and satisfying the caf feine addiction you picked up in college. So go ahead, get out of town. Enjoy a break from a week of two-hour classes and do some thing different. Although Texas doesn’t al ways seem like the vacation spot of choice, there is some va riety. Anything’s better than staying home and watching "Saturday Night Live.” “Many r electric; holds” a] drilled 1 perhaps well, no pable ofi would tl elled to! climb, a areas.C holds, a were sui crete sh; pits — 1 never sc with spj climberii restrict!; mally w; Wheil drills, tj which in help pro rock.
