culture of youth for the ’90s. Itfc obvi
ously going to become commercialized
as ifgets more popular, but hopefully
the emphasis will always remain on the
music,” McClure said.
“Wordless” focuses on a radically
different genre. KRNU music director
and the show’s producer, Justin
Grotelueschen, only plays tracks that
contain no lyrics from 11 pan. to 1 am.
As “Rhetth Techno Show” came to
an end last Thursday, Grotelueschen
strolled into the studio with * box of
discs from artists such as Sonic Youth,
Skinny Puppy and The Dead C for his
show. When McClure turned die mic
over, Grotelueschen quickly said “no
words” and let the music do the talking.
He played instrumental numbers by the
Pixies, Reverend Horton Heat and sev
eral more before he spoke on the air
again some 20 minutes later.
“I wanted to pick a show that fit
with nty style of DJ-ing, in which I like
to utilize as few interruptions on my
part and let die music do the talking,'”
Grotelueschen said.
Considering the fret that he follows
a techno show, Grotelueschen, who
m^fora in ag-joumalism with anemia
sis in broadcasting, said he didn’t want
to dwdl on that type of music as much
as other forms of underground rock.
“I have a particular affinity for noise
and things that are grating to most peo
pled ears, like Sonic Youth,” he said

Cafe gives coffee starring role
By Tasha Kelter
Staff writer
On a 90-degree day, it’s hard to
imagine the virtues of a gourmet
coffee shop in the Nebraska
Union.
But when there’s a foot of snow
outside and the wind chill is below
zero, Nebraska Union employee
Michael Myers says he hopes the
Caffina Caffe, featuring Starbucks
coffees, will get a warm reception.
Partially hidden for now in the
northwest comer of the Nebraska
Union, the Caffina Caffe is the
newest offering from the Union
Food Services in an effort to create
a new market for students, said
Myers, who serves as cash opera
tions manager for food services.
The Caffina Caffe was created
to cater to students who want a
wider selection of better coffees,
Myers said. “We hope the familiar
ity of the name Starbucks will
draw people in,” he said.
Offering latte, espresso, chai
tea, flavored syrups and an assort
ment of pastries and candy,, the
Caffina Caffe goes' beyond what’s
offered at the Bakery, another
Food Services shop in the union,
Myers said. The Starbucks coffee
is better quality and generally a lit
tle stronger than the Colombian
coffee offered at the Bakery and
some other restaurants, he said.
“We’re hoping with the quality
of the product to tap into a new
market,” Myers said.
That market should increase
when the front entrance of the
Nebraska Union is completed,
which is expected to be in
November. The cafe, highlighted
with little green lights hanging
from the ceiling, will be right in
the line of sight for those entering
the union from that entrance.
Until then, Myers said, he
thinks news of the cafe will be
spread by word-of-mouth by stu
dents who see it when they come to
study in the area around the TV
and die front windows.
And when colder weather sets
in, he expects a steaming cup of
cappuccino or espresso will appeal
to a whole lot of cold students and
faculty members.
“When it gets colder,” he said,
“there will be a dramatic
increase.”
Myers expects the Caffina
Cafe to appeal to those who want a
hot cup of joe but don’t want to
walk all the way downtown to the
Coffee House or the Mill, whose
popularity helped inspire the idea
for a union coffee shop.
Business was slow Wednesday,
the first day the cafe was open,
said Andy Cronin, who was work
ing behind the counter for some of
the day. But that was expected
until more people realized it was
open, he said.
Food services originally had
wanted to have the cafe open on
the first day of school, but the
debut was held up by the union
construction, Myers said.
Preparing for the opening of
the Caffina Cafe took a little prac

Its an art. We
were intimidated at

tice.
The employees, being not
Starbucks’ but Union Food
Services’, had to learn to make the
caffeinated luxuries.
“It’s an art,” Myers said of the
techniques. “We were intimidated
at first.”
Cronin, an undeclared fresh
man, had worked at a family coffee
house in Fremont for two years,
but said it was hard to get used to
the percentage of ingredients used
to make each drink.
“It takes a lot of practice,”
Cronin said.
Most of the coffee offerings are
based on four ingredients: milk,
espresso, whipped topping and fla
vored syrup. “Everything is a
derivative of espresso,” he said.
For instance, an Americano is
espresso with hot water added to it.
But you don’t have to be a cof
fee aficionado to enjoy the Caffina
Cafe, Myers said.
“We don’t want people to be
intimidated because they don’t
know what a latte is,” he said. “A
couple of weeks ago, we were in
the same boat.” i
