says it's over, your dog growls
at you, your pet goldfish is
doing the backstroke, the pet
turtle just doesn't understand
and not even the plants will
listen to you. That Rice degree
looks even farther away now. Is
there anything that can save
you?
Next semester, the Rice
Program Council and Sid
Richardson College will unveil
their first annual Bartending
Workshop. Guaranteed to put
happiness back in your life, this
workshop will teach the basic
fundamentals of home
bartending along with the
added sidelights of cocktail
party bartending and bar
mixology. The course will be
taught by liquor agents,
professional bartenders and
student bartenders.
The Bartending Workshop
has been divided into two parts,
tutorial sessions that will meet
in the Chem Lecture Hall on
Sundays from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
and practical workshops that
are scheduled for the weekend.
These times, chosen by a
random sampling of Rice
students were picked so that a
maximum number of students
and faculty could take the
course.
The series of five tutorial
sessions will begin on January
14. Session One will concern
the subject of liquors and beer.
At Session Two, wine and the
know-how of setting up a
cocktail party will be discussed.
At the next lesson, the student
will be taught the procedure for
making drinks, including how
to make the good rum and
Polynesian drinks. A
professional bartender has
been tentatively scheduled for
session four to teach the basics
of working a hotel or disco bar.
He would also show the class
the art of making good
businessman's drinks, the
Martinis, Manhattans,
Whiskey Sours, etc.
The final Sunday will be
dedicated to learning those
drinks that witches use to put
innocent lambs under their
spell, i.e. the good drinks. The
content of these five sessions is
subject to change depending on
the wants of the students.
On February 16, the "Bar
Exam" will be held. Students
will be given the chance to test
their barmanship by actually
concocting various drinks for
their classmates and dates. This
is very unusual for a university
course since many universities
will structure their courses so
that only a professional
bartender will make the drinks,
