There are 60 people in the choir, which rehearses four times a week for a total of five hours each week. A 10-minute musical audition is held at the beginning of the fall semester, she said. Each applicant is screened by three permanent staff members on musical ability and then inter viewed. These two things deter mine who makes the group. The group gives about 20-25 performances each school year for a variety of organizations, Thee man said. Concerts are given for a number of on-campus functions like ban quets and symposiums. Off- campus groups such as churches and A&M Mother’s Clubs also re quest concerts. The Century Singers’ music is about one-half classical and one- half popular.

Staff photo by Brian Tate Under the proposal, which vo ters will decide in the November election, half of all the state sur plus would be deposited in a water trust fund and the remainder in a reserve fund.

Gotcha’ covered Stand-up comedian Paul Rodriguez shows his interpretation of a Jewish person holding up a bank, with his bandana over his nose to hide his identity. Rodriguez performed in the Memorial Student Center lobby Thursday afternoon. Spon sored by the MSC Committee for the Awareness of Mexican American Culture, Rodriguez told many comic stories, in cluding many about his Mexican nationality, as well as about the Insta-Girl device, a plunger he uses to attach to a girl and take her along with him, and the Mexican Express Card, a soft tortilla he produced for the audience. The water trust fund would be used to meet future water prob lems, Clayton said. He said water would become more critical in the state, especially since the popula tion is expected to grow to 25 mil lion in less than 30 years. Clayton said his proposal wi be a form of tax relief for theste citizens and would help meetc critical water problems of tM ture.
