Cafe Owner Denies He Is Trying to Chase Out Beatniks
Rv Thomas Hough
Rumors have been rustling across the campus like autumn leaves before the wind because the proprietor of a local cafe turned up the lights last week.
Some fraternity men chortled in satisfaction, claiming the proprietor was chasing out the "beatniks."
thees trying to change the clientele," is the fraternity rumor. "He knows fraternity men spend more money than beatniks. the beatniks just sit around and talk."
Other students feel they have been personally attacked.
"The lights hurt our eyes. What are they trying to do—run us out?" they cry in dismay.
The proprietor said if he had known the rumors would start, he might never have turned up the lights.
"Beatniks? I don't even know
what they are. Do you?" he asked.
"I am trying to get rid of the 'beat' atmosphere, but I'm not trying to run anybody out," he said.
When asked about the rumor that he had consulted with a psychologist before decorating, the proprietor started in surprise.
"Where did that come from? I just sat down one evening and talked it over with one of my employees. I don't know how these rumors get started," he said.
"Ive had a lot of complaints about students necking in the booths, but I've only seen two or three instances. I thought maybe turning up the lights would cut down some of the rowdiness. Besides, better lights will let the students study. It used to be too dark to read in here."
The new lights were installed a week ago Tuesday.
"I guess the lights did step on a few people's toes, but a lot more people have said they like them than have said they didn't like it. What can you do? Sometimes, I think if I had known all this was going to happen, I never would have done it."
He said he has noticed the students haven't seemed to be having as much fun this past week as they used to.
"They have just been kind of sitting around and have been a lot quieter. But I'm not trying to cut off their fun. I just want them to have their fun in a quieter, more orderly manner.
"I don't mind them whooping and hollering. They can make noise and not be rowdy. I'm just trying to cut down on complaints about necking in the booths."
