Students take to the Net in search of romaa
By Travis Irby
Staff writer
teve,” a senior history major, was surfing the
Net looking for some games to play— instead,
he stumbled into the wicked game called love.
“I had no intention of trying to meet someone,”
Steve said.
“But I was searching around and ran into this girl,
and we started talking.”
People across the country have abandoned the bars
and clubs traditionally used to meet people.
Looking for love, these roaming romantics have tak
en their search to the next frontier- cyberspace.
There are stories of good and bad occurrences when
it comes to Internet love. On the national front there
have been stories of rape, abduction and murder, re
sulting from an electronic encounter gone bad.
Others say they have found their true love on the
Net. Supporters of Internet dating say it allows the user
to truly get to know someone.
Whether it be a chat room or dating service, Net-
borne romance is picking up steam.
“Joe,” a senior business analysis major, recently
signed up for a dating service on the Internet.
He said he filled out a questionnaire and posted a
personal ad.
“It was not a big deal, it was very similar to some
thing you’d put in a newspaper,” Joe said. “If a person is
interested in you, they can e-mail you.”
Joe said he has already gotten a response, and the
two are communicating electronically for now.
“If it goes well, things might open up a little bit,”
he said.
The Internet seems to be subject to the same rules
of dating as anything else — encounters are usually
not planned.
Steve said he and his happened-upon cyber compan
ion carried on the electronic dialogue for several months.
“Things were going very well, eventualiyshe|
me to come to New York and see her." Sieve sai
bad a lot of fun, and tilings ended up getting roral
Unfortunately, the distance took its tollonil
lationship.
"It was just too far and too hard to keep in 1
Steve said. "If she was closer, 1 think it could ha'
ly worked out."
Still, Steve said lie has no regrets when!
his accidental romance.
"I might try looking for someone, but it takesal
time, and I’m busy,” Steve said. “But I don't thii
bad way to meet people.”
“Tina," a senior marketing major, spends
hours on the Net, so she was not surprised whaj
met someone.
T was in a chat room, and 1 just started talking
guy” Tina said. “We hit it off, and he was closel
got together.”
However, Tina said the magic on the Internetd
translate to reality.
"In person, it was different. You know, theren
spark,” Tina said. "We got along well and talked!
there wasn’t the attraction you need minkrittol
next level."
Some students do not view the Internetasai
place to pick up a date.
Rudy Bendixen, a senior computer sciencef
said there are just too many unknowns in cyberspi
“I just couldn’t do it, you never see the personyo
talking to,” Bendixen said. “You don’t know ifthe)
telling the truth about themselves.
“I surf the web a lot, but I don’t think I’d findmysi
mate there.”
Still some are content to try their luck with no ini
mation other than a modem and a username.
Joe said he looks forward to meeting his potential!)
her sweetie.
“If things go well, that’s great. If not, ojh well.’ 1
said. “There is always the bar."
Royers’
Continued from Page 3
Royer said it is a family business
consisting of her parents, three
brothers and herself.
“My brother is the kitchen
manager,” Royer said. “He does a
lot of the cooking. He has trained
everyone. My youngest brother
lives in Round Top and takes care
of the cafe there. Me and my oth
er brother Todd run this restau
rant. My dad runs the front of the
house and is the man in charge.
We can get sick of each other be
cause we see each other everyday,
but we still hang out because we
are a very close family.”
In 1988 Royers’ Cafe in Round
Top was named the best country
cafe in Texas.
Royer said the award and many
factors have helped the cafe be
come more popular.
“We have had many articles
written about us,” Royer said.
“RoundTop is also a tourist area, so
people found out about us be
cause of word of mouth.”
Royer said they have not done a
lot of advertising, but the business
is going well in College Station.
“We chose College Station be
cause it is bigger than Round Top,
but still a small city,” Royer said.
“We did not want just an expensive
restaurant, we wanted (the restau
rant in) College Station to be for
everyone with something on the
menu for anyone.”
Royers’ is housed in the same
DAVE HOUSE/The Bafh
Royers’ Cafe is located at the corner of Southwest Parkway and Texas Aw
building as the failed restaurants
Pasghetti’s and Pelican Landing.
Royer said she doesn’t think
their closing will have an affect on
her family’s business.
“People have asked us why we
chose a location where two other
restaurants have failed,” she said.
“But we are not them, and we have
something that will work.”
Royer said people often recog
nize her from many of the family
publications.
“We have a family newsletter,
and each family member has their
own section,” she said. “It started
with a mail order catalog, and it
just became a newsletter. We also
have a cookbook called A Relation
al Odyssey. It has recipes but is
about relationships and the people
who have helped us along the way.
It is a fun cookbook and a great
read. People have said they have
bought the cookbook and sat
down in one day and read the
whole thing.”
Royer said she has been able
meet many people through thee
The Royer family was able
play a part in the dedication ofi
George Bush Presidential Libn
“We catered for the library
ication,” Royer said. “We heard
mors that he was coming
night, but the Secret Service nen
came to do a check. But then,
Secret Service did come.
“The people who were dinf
when they (the Secret Servijf)
came did not leave until Preside!
Bush came in at 8 p.m. I was
ing around the dining room t
ing they (the customers) have been
here forever, and when he call
then they all left.”
Hons said the family makes the
restaurant because they have
stayed together.
“I can’t put my finger on what
makes the restaurant unique
Everybody just enjoys the experi
ence,” she said.
