Macalester College had a student-run coffee house, No Exit, which lived behind the college grill in the Student Union's basement in the late '60s. It was a cozy, black-painted place with good entertainment, good sound, and decent food. Leo, who struck me as a young white man impersonating an old drunken blues singer, played there regularly when I was a freshman and a sophomore. (The music redeemed the act.)

On the day I was born, fortress-like Old Kenyon on the campus of Kenyon College burned, taking the lives of nine students. Lee Schermerhorn, a student at the time, captured motion pictures of the fire. A version of that film, and other film Schermerhorn shot before and after the fire, is available on the Kenyon College website.

Two events from last night's Fort Wayne/Battle Creek game involved the ground rules at C.O. Brown Stadium. Both generated some controversy.

But it is by no means "wireless," despite the name. The "Thermo-Hygro Sensor"--I think that means thermometer/barometer--does indeed house a radio transmitter which transmits data to the Weather Station proper, but the Wind Sensor (ain't it just too cute?) and Rain Sensor are both tethered to the T-H Sensor by cables--32 foot cables, to be exact.

Battle Creek's Chase Wright pitched well, and looks impressive, but threw too many pitches and was visibly tired by the fifth. Regardless, Sean Marshall, a lanky guy with some apparent potential, pitched a better game. The most interesting thing seen was Lansing's Clay Rapada, who is a radical sidewinder; don't remember seeing a southpaw throw like that before. Lansing's Kyle Boyer had a fine day at the plate.
