'or the past nine years the Hous-
Si mphony has sponsored a pro-
,- rlcalled “Gift of Music’ that
m-barrel high school and college stu-
wmdow ' t he opportunity to attend con-
,ry mthe[ sfre e, and Texas A&M Univer-
damagej, is 0 ne of the colleges to receive
rhuretor £ets for next season.
Practices ;jn re the program’s beginning,
But tie # dreds of students have bene-
r mental a and this year the symphony
de Prac ' ns to sponsor at least 500 stu-
I- . , .
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.

■The bill provides a person would be pronounced dead when there is
■ spontaneous breathing and heartbeat and the condition is deter-
m ned to be irreversible. 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.

it 3,339 which would allow parents to collect benefits, including compensation

ful death of their children.
■ Sen. Bill Meier, D-Euless, attempted to put a $50,000 cap on the
amount parents or other beneficiaries could recover under the bill but
failed before the bill passed to the full Senate.

but at least help by answering some
questions,” said Larry Fitzgerald,
director of communications for the
State Bar.
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.”
