A&M to host noted orchestra, pianist
By Karl Pallmeyer
Music Critic
Poland’s leading orchestra and
one of the world’s leading pianists
are coming to Rudder Audito
rium Saturday night at 8 p.m.
when the MSC Opera and Per
forming Arts Society presents the
Warsaw Philharmonic and Misha
Dichter.
Dichter and the Warsaw Phil
harmonic are on a 24-city tour of
the United States. Saturday’s per
formance will feature Peter Ilyich
Tchaikovsky’s “Francesca da Ri
mini, Fantasy after Dante,” Sergei
Rachmaninoffs Rhapsody on a
Theme of Paganini and Bela Bar-
tok’s “Miraculous Mandarin.”
Dichter, the son of Polish par
ents, was born in Shanghai in
1945 and moved to Los Angeles
when he was 2 years old. He be
gan studying piano at age 6 and
has studied under Aube Tzerko
and Rosina Lhevinne.
In 1966, two years before he
graduated from the Julliard
School of Music, Dichter won first
prize at the Tchaikovsky Interna
tional Piano Competition in Mos
cow. Dichter has recorded several
albums and has written articles
for The New York Times and
other publications.
The Warsaw Philharmonic has
been Poland’s leading orchestra
for more than 80 years and has
performed with such great com
posers as Sergei Prokofiev, Igor
Stravinsky, Bartok and Rachma
ninoff. The orchestra began per
forming in 1901 but lost one-half
of its members during World
War II. During 1947, the orches
tra reformed under music direc
tor Witold Rowicki.
Kazimierz Kord became the
Warsaw Philharmonic’s music di
rector and conductor in 1977.
In 1972, Kord made his Amer
ican debut conducting the Metro
politan Opera in Tchaikovsky’s
“Pique Dame” — the opera’s first
performance in Russian. The
next year, Kord brought Russian
opera to the West Coast when he
conducted the San Francisco Op
era in its production of Modest
Mussorgsky’s “Boris Godunov.”
Kord has traveled around the
world with the Warsaw Philhar
monic and has guest-conducted
with some of the world’s greatest
orchestras.
Tickets for the Warsaw Phil
harmonic and Dichter are avail
able at the Rudder Box Office.
Prices are $15.75 and $19.50 for
students, and $18.50 and $23 for

guidelines on classified research.
Economist: Extending
soles tax to services
will cost Texas jobs
AUSTIN (AP) — Extending the
state sales tax to services such as
those provided by lawyers, accoun
tants and architects would throw
42,700 Texans out of jobs in two
years, an economist said Thursday.
Economic consultant Donald
House said his study of proposals
now before the Legislature to ex
pand the sales tax to include most
services indicates the plan would
damage the Texas economy.
But those findings were sharply
criticized by State Comptroller Bob
Bullock, who has offered lawmakers
a plan to expand the sales tax to
what he said is the fastest-growing
segment of the Texas economy.
House’s study was prepared for
several groups representing insur
ance agents, engineers, lawyers, real
estate agents, doctors, architects,
certified public accountants and
chiropractors.
group didn’t have another plan to
nth i
offer as the state grapples with an es
timated $5.8 billion budget deficit.
Calling it “a lobby-backed study,”
Bullock said the findings were
flawed.
“Those folks don’t have one shred
of evidence that the extension of the
sales tax to services is going to cost
Texas a single job,” Bullock said.
“But my figures show that the state
has lost more than 231,000 jobs in
the past six years under the present
tax system.”
Monetary woes
close 2 banks
in Houston area
The economist said a tax on serv
ice industries, especially those that-
provide services to other businesses,
would make Texas less competitive
by increasing business costs.
House said the tax would target
the only sector of the Texas econ
omy that is showing substantial
growth. Between 1980 and 1986,
Texas gained 934,100 jobs in the
service sector while losing 97,300
jobs in the goods sector, he said.
HOUSTON (AP) — Two Hous-
ton-area banks were declared insol
vent Thursday because of bad loans
and poor management, bringing the
number of failed banks to 12 in
Texas this year, officials said.
“Most states have a sales tax, but
only three states in the United States
extend taxes to the service sector in a
way like the proposed sales taxes we
see coming out of the comptroller’s
office — Hawaii, New Mexico and
South Dakota,” House said.
Lawyer Mark Hanna, speaking
for the study sponsors, said the
groups believe the pending proposal
is not the way to go.
While Hanna said the service in
dustry was willing to pay its “fair sha
re” of state taxes, he said the wider
sales tax was a bad idea, but the
The Sealy National Bank in Sealy,
about 50 miles west of Houston, and
the Liberty Bank in Houston joined
other financial victims of the de
pressed Sun Belt economy, said Fed
eral Deposit Insurance Corp.
spokesman Stephen Katsanos.
The only office of the Sealy bank
will open Friday as a branch of the
Austin County State Bank of Bell-
ville, and the bank’s deposits will au
tomatically transfer to the Austin
County bank, he said.
The Liberty Bank’s offices will re
open Friday as branches of Central
Bank of Houston and deposits will
automatically transfer to the bank.
He said a high volume of poor-
quality loans extended by bank man
agement led to significant losses.
