Larry Linton, an electronic tech nician in charge of the media center, said, “We’ve got different types of vi deo equipment people want to rent.” “We have video cameras, slide projectors, VHSs, Betas, filmstrip projectors and a numerous amount of other stuff,” he said. “All a student needs to do is give us his ID number and pay to rent the equipment,” he said. Linton said the rental price of the video equipment varies with each machine. The media center rents the va rious pieces of equipment on a day- by-day basis. Price lists of the rental rates for the equipment are available in the center in 109 Harrington. Linton said he came up with the concept of a media center 12 years ago. “I knew students needed equip ment to rent for class projects and other things,” he said. “But they had nowhere to go. “So I thought having a place on campus would be a good thing.” Linton said teachers also benefit from having a media center on the A&M campus. “Teachers are the only ones exempt from the charges,” he said. “They use the equipment for classroom teachings or to aid them in lectures.” People who think they can keep the equipment out indefinitely bet ter beware, he said. Linton said more people are using the media center each year so he has to keep hiring more staff. He said the University has backed the media center since the begin- ning. “We had little equipment to rent when we started, but we kept getting more and more,” Linton said. He said he wants to get another editing machine as soon as he possi bly can. He said even though the center does not advertise, business is still good. “The only thing we’ve sent out are information sheets listing our prices and our rules,” Linton said. “Most people learn about us through word of mouth.” Photo by BRIASF A technician adjusts one of the Media Center’s cameras.

Phil Gramm said Monday that while a three- judge federal panel has thrown out E art of his Gramm-Rudman budget alancing law, he’s confident it will succeed because of other provisions in the measure. “Legal counsel for the Senate feels optimistic that we can reverse this decision in the Supreme Court,” Gramm said in a speech to the Hous ton Club. “Whether we can or can’t, I believe we can make this work.” Last week, a three-judge panel ruled the law that carries the names of the Texas Republican and War ren Rudman, R-N.H., violated the constitutional principle that the three branches of government each have separate duties and powers. Specifically, the judges objected to the automatic cuts certified by the U.S. comptroller general. “The question has now raged for 60 years whether the comptroller works for congress or the presi dent,” Gramm said. “I argue that he’s appointed by the president and affirmed by Congress. He’s part of the executive branch.” Gramm said when the bill was written, he wrote in a backup mech anism because he knew the dispute existed. He said the backup requires the Congressional Budget Office and the White House Office of Manage ment and Budget to report deficit figures to the president, Congress and the American people. Congress must vote on the deficit number and president must sign a resolution, triggering cuts, he said. Gramm said he accepted the fact that dealing with the deficit was un popular. “I don’t suffer from anv delu sions,” he said. “I know we're looking at very difficult weeks and months and maybe years.” He contended the way to put the cuts into effect was “either you press from the top down and squeeze the whole government, or you've got to reorder priorities. My view is you ought to reorder priorities.” Gramm said he favored inc reas ing pay for some government em ployees while terminating other fed eral workers. He said this would allow the government to “have a smaller, high-quality, civil service. He also said he was con eral retirees would receive:J of-living pay raises this ve:J with pay raises for other; mem civilian and militarymt “But to do that, we hm about 20 programs, ram Amu ak to legal services,"H “When 1 have to chooses the National Endowment 1 Arts and national defense; easv decision for me,” Gnc| “I'd like to have both,but c an't pa\ for both, its easyte: I hose are the kinds of fuhe _ reordering of priorities thus I be undertaken."

In 1981, Olga Buth, University of Texas music librarian, had the idea of creating a sound archive. The idea gained support, and Dr. Karl Miller was hired in 1983 to head the Historical Music Record ings Collection. In its three years of existence, the collection has amassed more than 70,000 holdings and includes cylin ders, piano rolls and 16-inch tran scription discs of radio programs. It is one of few archives that also has the equipment to play record ings made using most of the varied methods that have been developed and abandoned during more than a century of sound reproduction. Miller, who has a doctorate in composition has taught at North Texas State University and the Uni versity of Arizona and is an avid col lector of contemporary orchestral music and film scores as well as sci ence fiction and horror movies. “I took the job because, while there are major collections on the East Coast at Stanford University, this is the first institutional collection of its kind in the Southwest,” he said. At first, much of the effort was spent gathering the University’s holdings. Some came from the music de partment, others from campus radio station KUT and from the Harrv Ransom Center. The collection has no budget for acquisitions, but a quick-growing reputation has helped attract the do nation of several prestigious hold ings, Miller said. Miller developed an interest in rare records while trying to locate recordings of unusual repertoire. “I was looking to build a collection here that would not only make rare commercial materials available, but that would also make available many of the non-commercial recordings that are circulated among collec tors,” he said.
