AGGIELIFE Page 4 THE BATTALION Friday, Man Ice cream festival set to begii ^ in Brenham this weekend BY KELLY PREISER The Battalion What better way to kiek off the sum mer than fim with ice cream? To celebrate the summer treat, the city of Brenham— home of Blue Bell Ice Cream — will hold the first Bren ham Ice Cream Festival, sponsored by Blue Bell. The festival will begin its festivities May 6, rain or shine, at 10 a.m. around the courthouse square in downtown Brenham. The festival’s theme will be an 1890s ice cream social. “It’s the kind of theme that has its own feel, like ‘The Bicycle Built for Two.’ Ice cream and that time period just seem to go together,” said Phil Kel ley, husband of the festival’s chairper son Suzie Kelley. He said this year just seemed like the perfect time to have the first festival. which is planned to be an annual event. “It was kind of a natural thing; this is the home of Blue Bell lee Cream. We just finished the renovation of the down town area, the timing was just right.” There will be many activities oc curring during the eight-hour festival. A “Little Mr. and Mrs. Scoop” pageant will be held for 2-to 4-year-olds. “They’ll say their favorite ice cream, and will be judged mostly on personality. It’s a nice family thing to do. Plus all the little kids will receive prizes and gifts throughout the day,” Kelley said. “There will also be sever al musical groups performing through out the day, some national award win ners,” he said. Kelley said the festival’s location should make it easy to navigate through the grounds. “Everything will be centered around the courthouse and there will be at least four ice cream booths set up alt intersections, and arts andci good food,” Kelley said. 1 le said in there will be other: petitions and entertainment in adi to the pageant. “There will also be fun contend all ages throughout the day fori: like [an] ice cream walks, like a cake walk, and ide cream contests.There will be neat look at, and a barber shop quartet Kelley said A&M students benefit by making the trip to Bre for the festival. iz Lai BY KY Tb ust before wi high-priced sp movie season [see how these ef i-Go-Go.

People in the news Goldberg biography will not be banned MILWAUKEE (AP) — A 1997 bi ography on Whoopi Goldberg is raising some eyebrows in Milwaukee. One girl’s parents said the book by James Robert Parish should be banned from her high school library because it contains vulgar language. The school board in the suburban Muskego-Norway School District scheduled a hearing May 22 on the complaint from Richard and Beth Ka ma. A committee refused two weeks ago to remove the book, acknowledging “some shocking language” but noting Goldberg’s charity work and strong anti-drug message The book, “Whoopi Goldberg: Her Journey from Poverty to Mega-Star- dom,” is an unauthorized biography, said the actress-comedian’s publicist. Brad Caparelli. “We certainly had noth ing to do with it,” he said.

This film should be worthwhile, but it is uncertain how audiences will take to it. Clint Eastwood returns to the big screen with an all-star cast including Donald Sutherland, James Garner and Tom my Lee Jones for the adventure Hick Space Cowboys. The movie is about a bunch of over-the-hill astronauts go ing back in to space for one last mission. It was originally pitched to Eastwood a couple of years ago but he passed on it, thinking the premise was improba ble — until he read about John Glenn going back in to space. Within weeks of that event, Eastwood and Warner Broth ers had greenlighted the project, and it is sure to catch the older crowd’s money this summer with its mature cast. Following up on the success ofthe hit comedy Jus This, director Harold Ramis has another comedy leased at the end ofthe summer called Bedazzled.^ the project after passing on Galaxy Quest when Trail bins was cast. Featuring Brendan Frasier and Elizabeth \ question that remains on this one is whether this will lie 1 other Dudley Do-Right or George of the Jungle. Another film coming out this summer is thekobert lord-directed The Legend of Bagger Vance, starving Ma^ mon and Will Smith. It seems that following last sura horrible Wild, Wild West, Smith is opting for a smalk:|jj probably higher quality role. And there is also the Wayans’ family production,S Movie, a spoof on the slasher-movie craze of recent yc Whatever one fancies, this summer has a movie that make it worth a trip to the theater this summer — an just for the air conditioning.
