something to say
Well, the Spring semester has begun. Time for birds,
trees, sun—and the ^ew folio. I hope you enjoy this
chance to get caught up on the happenings down here at
the station. I myself have been doing a bit of catching up
since I got back from break (a lovely word is break!). I've
also had the chance to catch a few of those Rice Fightin'
Owls Basketball games, some of which we here at ktru
will be broadcasting:
Women's Basketball;'
Feb. 6 Texas Tech 5pmK
Feb. 9 Texas (Grrrr...) 7pm
Feb. 20 Tex?.s A&M 5pm
Also, we will probably be broadcasting a few of the
men's games, and on Feb. 27th the Rice Men's Baseball
game against North Texas State kicks off ktru's coverage.
Of course, listening is only half the fun of being there
in person to catch all of the action, and you can always
bring a small radio along to hear the play-by-play. Why
am I so up on Rice sports? Well, I've been doubling as the
manager of the men's basketball team as well as being the
publicity director here at ktru. Which just goes to show
you can have it all, or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
Anyway, along those lines I'd like to thank Dingbat
(Mike Gladu) for his help on this month's folio, and the
staff in general for all of their kindnesses. This month, I'd
also like to share with you a few of the letters that have
come in to the station in the last couple of months. If YOU
have a comment, suggestion, or*just want a bumper sticker
or folio sent to your house, write to us at:

dear ktru
dearjktru,
You have been my musical
salvation for 5 years.
Old but still going,
Mr. Joe
Houston, Tx
dear ktru,
Thanks for providing
Houston with great radio-- truly
a haven in the midst of the
commercial-radio-induced
storm/hell.

dear ktru,
Keep playing the killer
music. It's hard to receive in far
west Houston, but always worth
the effort. Thanks,
Mark Kinnaman
Houston, Tx
dear ktru,
Your station is an oasis in
the musical desolation called
Houston Radio Airwaves.
Robin Stalcup
Houston, Tx
dear ktru,
One suggestion for the
suggestion box: how about a
program centered around dark,
dark music like Bauhaus,
Souxsie, Einsturzen
Neubauten,Nurse with Wound,
Lydia Lunch, Trail, Cabaret
Voltaire, Skinny Puppy, Virgin
Prunes, Controlled Bleeding,
Throbbing Gristle, etc....
Something to drive even the
most tranquil person to suicide.
Big thanx,
Zter LaFayette
Woodlands, Tx
dear ktru,
Please send me a couple of
bumper stickers, I am waging a
war in the office to make ktru
the desk radio standard.
Todd Smith
Houston, Tx
dear ktru,
Please send me a bumper
sticker Quick-- I'm embarassed
driving around without one.
Tons of thanks,
Pete Sloan
Huntsville, Tx
dear ktru,
The Rice Radio Folio has
become an invaluable source of
new music news in my life. Los
Angeles need's a station like
ktru. Keep up the good work.
Timothy R. Kendrick
Wilmington, CA
dear ktru,
Afler being stranded in the
Radio Dead Zone of the midwest
(Kansas City), it's good to find a
station that plays progressive
music and not Top 40 drivel.
