OPAS to open season with live performance by St. Louis Symphony By TRENT LEOPOLD Senior Staf f Writer Texas A&M’s Opera and Reform ing Arts Society (OPAS) opens its 13th season at tonight at 8 in Rudder Auditorium with a performance by the 101-member Saint Louis Sym phony Orchestra. Leonard Slatkin will be conduct ing the second-oldest American sym phony orchestra. Only the New York Philharmonic predates it. The orchestra has received two Grammy awards for its recording of Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5. The awards were for the best orchestral recording and best engineered clas sical album of 1985. Slatkin, who began his conducting career with the orchestra in 1968, is one of the few Americaiv4)orn and American-trained musicians to be come music director of a major sym phony orchestra. He was born in Los Angeles and was Jean Morel’s stu dent at thejuilliard School of Music. He began studying violin at age 3, piano at 11, composition at 14 and viola at age 15. He holds honorary degrees from Washington Univer sity, the University ol Missouri-St. Louis, St. Louis Conservatory of Mu sic and Schools for the Arts and St. Louis University. A recent Sunday New York Times magazine article stated: “Under the direction of Slatkin, the Saint Louis Symphony has turned into an or chestra now compared by some with the nation’s finest.” And Time magazine critic Mi chael Walsh recently ranked the Saint Louis Symphony among the two best American symphony or chestras. Slatkin is known for his imagina tive programming and audience rapport. His repertoire is extensive. “Balanced programming is one of the most important elements of suc cess,” Slatkin says. Some tickets for tonight’s perfor mance were still available late Wednesday. They can be purchased at the Memorial Student Center Box Office. Connally models for newspaper ad Associated Press AUSTIN — If Texans think they recognize that silver-haired man wearing an eye patch and a stei n look in the Hathaway shirt-and-tie advertisement, they’re right. He’s former governor and one time presidential hopeful John Con nally. “Every man has his own manage ment style,” says the ad that ran in a men’s fashion supplment to the New York Times Magazine last Sunday. “Take John Connally. Dynamic, de termined, a national presence in law, government and business.” Connally, who posed with hands determinedly on hips, is the latest ce lebrity to lend his baron-of-the-boar- droom appeal to Hathaway’s two- year-old ad campaign. Other ads have featured hotelier Bill Marriott, cable TV magnate Led Turner, “Megatrends” author John Naisbitt, wine aficionado Michael Mondavi and Jacuzzi inventor Roy Jacuzzi. “The campaign is based not only on celebrity, but people whose lace and-or name is widely recognized,” said Pete Penizotto, vice president of Chester Gore-Eric Mower and Asso ciates, the New York advertising agency representing Hathaway. But what is the deal with that black patch perched roguishly over Connally’s right eye? Penizotto said that the patch has “long been identified with Hatha way.” The patch was the brainchild of advertising innovator David Ogilvy, who dreamed it up for a Ha thaway ad in the early 1950s. “John Connally, the man in the Hathaway shirt,” proclaims the headline of the ad. The advertisement was shot last October in the New York studio of fashion photographer Gideon Le- win. Connally was “a very, very good model,” Penizotto said. “Very cor dial.” Hairstyle and make-up artists did not labor over the famous Connally face because “he looked fine,” Pen izotto added. “Part of the campaign is we’re dealing with real people here,” he said. In advertising talk, that means no body Huffed or sprayed Connally’s hair or slyly added a touch of rouge or mascara. Penizotto would not say how much Connally was paid. But he did say Connally kept the red-striped shirt and tie lie wore in the ad. Wendy Gramm recommended for FTC chairmanship Associated Press WASHINGTON — Wendy Gramm, wife of Sen. Phil Gramm, says she is not pushing for the job but will let the Reagan administra tion consider her for chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, where she is director of the bureau of economics. FTC Chairman James C. Miller III has recommended Mrs. Gramm, as well as the two other FTC direc tors, to the White House as potential successors, according to Gramm, R- Texas, and a recent report in the Washington Post. Miller was nominated to succeed David Stockman as director of the Office of Management and Budget and is still awaiting Senate confirma tion hearings, so the naming of his successor at FTC is probably several weeks away. The FTC oversees advertising and marketing for fraud and unfair trade practices. “1 will do basically what people feel would be the best, if that means staying in the bureau of economics or another position,” Mrs. Gramm said in a telephone interview this week. If Mrs. Gramm receives the job, Gramm would be the second mem ber of the Senate whose wife heads an executive branch agency.

Mrs. Gramm said she has talked to the White House in general about thejob. “I’ve visited there,” she said. “I don’t know to what extent I’m being considered. At this point, I haven’t ruled out anything.” Gramm, as a Democrat, was a sponsor of President Reagan’s eco nomic programs in the House. He switched parties in 1983 and won the Senate seat last year. Mrs. Gramm, 40, like her hus band, has a Ph.D. in economics. On her office wall is a picture of herself and Gramm with Reagan in the Oval Office. Reagan inscribed the picture to Mrs. Gramm with the words, “to my favorite economist.” White House spokesman Dale Pe- troskey would not comment about the selection process or Miller’s rec ommendations. “We have a long-standing policy of not talking about who’s pushing whom,” he said. “It only tends to get us in trouble.” Miller, who has been declining in terviews since his nomination for OMB director, could not be reached for comment.
