BIZZK.LL sr I, nrr>Naw man NK Sat., Jan. 31 10 am-2 pm Cambridge Buskers — What do they know about music? The music is irresistible, the playing first class/'— RECORD WORLD The MSC Opera and Performing Arts Society (MSC OPAS) presents the irresist ible Cambridge Buskers Thursday, January 29 in Rudder Auditorium at 8 p.m. Michael Copley and Dag Ingram were Cambridge University students who began their career as street musicians (buskers) playing classical music to earn train fare. Since busking is illegal in London, they were arrested. Since then they have played the concert halls of the world in order to live outside the confines of jail. Hear them for yourself! Dag Ingram plays solo on the piano accordion and Michael Copley, flutist, comprises the rest of the orchestra (33 other wind instruments) — sometimes with more than one instrument in his mouth at a time! The San Francisco Examiner calls them "astonishing musicians!" This delightful performance will surely sell out. Reserve your seats today! Tickets are on sale at the MSC Box Office, 845-1234.

Jim Rudd, D- Brownfield, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. “It just costs more. “If the governor wants to veto the second half, let him do that. That’s his business. But as for us, I don’t think we’ll do that.” There has been talk in the Legis lature of approving a one-year bud get to deal with a projected $6 billion deficit over the next 2Vs years. Some lawmakers believe a one- year budget would require less money from general revenue and the Texas economy might rebound before lawmakers have to appropri ate money for the second year. However, Director Jim Oliver of the Legislature Budget Board pre sented figures to the Finance Com mittee that appeared to dispel that theory. Oliver noted that according to the state comptroller, the state will begin the next biennium Sept. 1 with a def icit of $1 billion. Also, a proposed spending bill would result in an esti mated shortfall of nearly $5 billion for the 1988-89 biennium, or a total deficit of $6 billion. It would take an across-the-board cut of 23 percent in “current serv ices" to balance a two-year budget, which is the traditional spending plan for state government. How ever, to balance a one-year budget solely through spending reductions would require a 30 percent across- the-board cut, Oliver said. In order to balance the current services budget over two years with revenue increases alone would re quire a 26 percent increase in gen eral revenue, but balancing a one- year budget would require a 34 per cent general revenue increase, he said. Sen. Kent Gaperton, D-Bryan, said, “I certainly see no groundswell for it.” (HI Wednesday MSC GREAT ISSUES: will meet at 7 p.m. in 212 MSC.
