Ke money for this program comes ■ corporation and private con- DUtions. The money buys 10 eon- Thickets for a $10 donation. The tickets are then given out to schools that either requested the tickets or ones the contributor has specified. Mrs. Thomas A. Reiter, Gift of Music chairman for the Houston Symphony League, said the program provides students with individual or season tickets to all Sunday after noon concerts. She said some of the major con tributors are alumni from the spon sor schools. She said there are almost 250 contributors who give at least $10, but individual contributors give as much as $250. I he program for free concerts has become popular, and the demand for tickets now exceeds the supply. This year schools are soliciting donors to contribute Gifts of Music for their own students, but Houston Symphony sales director Davis Allen said that normally students can’t get the Gift of Music tickets unless the contributor specifies tbeir school. Specific allotments of tickets have not teen set because all money needed has not been received. Students wanting more informa tion about free concert tickets should check with the MSC Box Office dur ing the fall semester. Rice University, University of Houston, Texas Southern Univer sity, Sam Houston State University and Prairie View University are among the 23 other colleges and uni versities receiving the Gift of Music Tickets.

If artificial life support systems are used that prevent determining if a person is breathing and has a heartbeat on his ■n, the person would be considered dead if he suffered an irreversi ble cessation of brain function. ■The bill, sponsored by Sen. Ray Farabee, D-Wichita Falls, also provides that the person must be pronounced dead before artificial means of supporting heartbeat and respiration are stopped. ■Protections for physicians and others are provided in the bill by at 26.9 prohibiting a physician from being held liable if he determines death lieven under the bill’s standards. Similar protections apply to those who act in Los on a physician’s determination of death. e down ||The bill, which was sponsored by Rep.

At the end of each tape, the lis tener is urged to contact a lawyer if further help is needed. If the program is approved at this month’s board meeting, it will take about three months to set up. Fitzgerald hopes to have about 80 tapes, each lasting five minutes. Local bar chapters must pay for the tapes and are also responsible for setting up a phone center in their area when they join the program. The directors of the State Bar, the Texas Young Lawyers Association and the Lawyer Referral Service are considering underwriting part of the cost also. Tel-Law began in California and is now operating successfully in Wash ington, New York and Oregan, Fitzgerald said. Fitzgerald said Tel-Law is in tended to help Texans who, “don’t know how to go about contacting an attorney. Many people just don’t know what to do.” Vi* v * SNOOK OPEN RODEO 8:00 p.m., May 5th I Saturday Only Admission $2.50 2Vi miles west of Snook on FM 60.
