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. Eliza-

beth Dole, wife of Senate Majority
Leader Bob Dole, is secretary of
transportation.
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.
