Journal
As you enter the station anytime
after noon on Saturday, you can
feel the ground tremble and see
steam pouring out of the news
room. As the weekend goes on, the
Richter scale pulses higher and
higher and the magma begins to
oose its way out from under the
news room door. Finally at seven
on Sunday night, as the heat and
noise is about to put KTRU off the
air, the news breaks out in a furry
of music and information with,
yes, you all know, the rice radio
journal!.
jazz
What could be better than sun-
bathing with jazz in the
background on a Sunday
afternoon? (A KTRU listening
suggestion for Sundays from 12 to
seven.)
sonlight
In case you haven't listened to this
special shift, it features two hours
of progressive Christian music
beginning at 10 every Sunday
morning. An album starts the
program — new music when we
have it but otherwise a favorite
from our collection.
s A m show
Punk and New Wave music from
seven until ten, always including
exciting interviews with groups
appearing locally.
no one expects art rock feature
Most any Sunday a 1 a.m.,a group
of true wackos take over the station
for a collection of things No One
Expects to hear on the radio. Each
time you miss this program, you
are missing a unique listening
experience. You won't hear a top-
forty countdown. You won't hear
an MTV interview. You won't hear
waterbed commercials. Just try to
guess what you will hear on next
Sunday!
rioe radio
This shift is the answer to starting
a perfect weekend. Tune in at one
o'clock on Friday afternoon and
allow the easy music to flow
through your veins and calm your
entire outlook. Beginning with the
syndicated program Reggae Beat
International, the shift continues
with an excelent DJ and a variety
of Jamaican reggae.
thursday
feature album

album, this is your chance.

Banquet in Blues, 1976.
•April 18 — Aerosmith, 1973.

album
Treat yourself to a special sack
lunch on Wednesday's, so you can
stay by the radio for this feature
album. Kick back and listen to an
album from the late sixties or early
seventies especially choosen for its
artistic nature. Groups like Pink
Floyd and Yes have been played in
the past and sort of sum up the tone
of this album. Look for these in
April:
•April 3 — Van der Graf Generator,
Aerosol.
•April 10 — Rick Wakeman, Six
Wives of Henry the Eight.
•April 17 — Gong, Flying Teapot
#.2.
•April 24 — Peter Hamill, In
Camera.
monday feature
album
One of the most recent New Wave
or something albums. Which
album of New Wave or something
is not decided until Ray decides.
And Ray decides anytime he wants
to; anytime being about six that
Monday evening. The suspense is
worth the music, though. Every
Monday at ten.
treasures of ttie
sixties
An entire show devoted to the era,
Treasures of the sixties features
obscure and forgotten favorites
every Tuesday at half past eight.
mutant
hardcore
The atmosphere around KTRU is
not normal when the DJ's change
after Chicken Skin. The staff
meeting just ended, spirits are high
and the music naturally moves
towards the ultimate in party
music. An hour is never long
enough for a hardcore show, but
the progression alone from an
"average" KTRU shift into a
mutant one is worth tuning in for.
rice baseball
KTRU broadcasts the Fighting
Owls' Baseball as they take on
various incomparable teams. Lynn
Micheals and David Gano will be
announcing games as follows:
•Wednesday April 3 at 3:30 p.m.,
Rice will be playing Cornell in the
second of a doubleheader at
Cameron Field.
•Tuesday April 9 at 7:30 p.m., we

Field. Because this is a night game,
the time may have to be changed
due to lights in the field.

will broadcast a SWC double-
head against the University of
Texas at Disch-Falk Field in
Austin.
•Saturday April 20 at 7 p.m.,Rice

doubleheader against Texas A&M
in Cameron Field, depending on
the light situation.
•Saturday April 27 at 2 p.m., Rice
against the University of Houston
in a doubleheader at Cougar Field.
