Jesse Sublett, lead singer and cre ator of Secret Six, is also known as the key member of the Skunks — also Austin-based. The Skunks cap tured national attention six years ago and sparked widespread interest in the Texas new music scene, pre dating current state successes such as Joe “King” Carrasco. Sublett dissolved the Skunks in February 1983 after he grew dissat isfied with the direction the band was taking and formed Secret Six two months later. Sublett said he knew in advance what he wanted in a band, so he worked up a basic format and audi tioned musicians for the parts he needed. He got the band together and it debuted in Austin in early May 1983. Since then the band has been very successful in Austin as well as in Houston and Dallas, playing to crowded clubs and receiving very complimentary reviews. The band has not been so lucky in College Sta tion, however, and tnis is something that has Sublett puzzled. “I can’t explain why we haven’t achieved the same success here that we have in Dallas or Austin,” he said. “Maybe College Station is just off the beaten path.” Secret Six Twelve record companies have come into Austin in the past year to scout out Secret Six’s potential, and that interest has led to a contract with Elektra Records. Secret Six will be included on an album with nine other bands that El ektra will release this fall highlight ing Texas bands and music.

Premiere Players to present the comedy ‘The Orphans' manent By KAREN GILES Reporter The Premiere Players, a summer performing group made up of high school students, will present a com edy, “The Orphans” by James Pri- deaux, at 8 p.m. tonight through Friday in Rudder Forum. Members of the Premiere Players, sponsored by the Texas A&M The ater Arts program, are 10 high school students from Bryan-College Station. They were selected through auditions by the play’s director, Shawn Brown. Six are cast members and four help out backstage with props, lighting and sound effects. “The Orphans” is the story of Lily and Katherine Spangler, two eccen tric old ladies, who inherit $6 million after their parents’ death on the Ti tanic. The Spangler sisters protect themselves and their money from everything around them by staying in their small apartment. “The conflict arises when a charming young man tries to swin dle the money from the old ladies, when he tells them he’s their rela tive,” Brown, a Texas A&M theater arts graduate, said. Brown said the idea of Premier Players originated in 1968 when Robert Wenck, a Texas A&M the ater arts professor, decided that a summer theater was needed for high school students.

Census Bureau says women paid less United Press International WASHINGTON — Women are not only paid considerably less than men but nave less work experience because they are three times as likely to interrupt their careers to tend to family matters, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday. John McNeil, one of the authors of the report, said the survey showed, “Women get into jobs where experience is not a very im portant factor. You can describe them as dead-end jobs.” The report said 72 percent of women who have ever worked expe rienced a career interruption of six months or longer, compared to 26 percent of males. Men who were surveyed spent only about 2 percent of their poten tial work years away from the labor force, compared with about 23 per cent for women. The Commerce Departmel Census Bureau report was based: a 1979 survey of some 10, holds. The report showed that womeij the study earned an averageof{f ! per hour, while men earned $6.9!!
