Sponsored by the University Chamber Series, the program in cluded works by Mozart, Bach, Dvo rak and Rameau. George Calvin Ad ams, principal bassoonist and Associate Conductor for the Brazos Valley Symphony Orchestra, con ducted. Aggies may complain that College Station is a cultural black hole, but when one may go hear Bach’s First Brandenburg Concerto, Jean-Phil- lipe Rameau’s Les Indes Galantes Review which ning’s of the eve- Second Suite, Mozart’s Divertimento in D Major, and Antonin Dvorak’s Serenade in D minor, it demon strates that such contentions are not true. Initially comprised of about 25 pieces including a hapsichord, the sinfonietta opened with Rameau’s Les Indes Galantes. It crisply per formed the piece’s pretty melodies and drew warm applause from the audience. Mozart’s Divertimento followed. Its moods swung from lively allegros to melancholy adagios and back again. Penny Zent punctuated the piece with her fluttering flute solos, were often particularly provided many high points. The transitions rough, and the brass lacked sharpness. Bach’s well-known Brandenburg Concerto provided the sinfonietta some problems as well. Nevertheless, the au dience was appreciative of the performers’ efforts. In spite ol a few difficulties, the sinfonietta gave a performance that was both solid and satisfying. The Brazos Sinfonietta has per formed as the chamber ensemble of the Brazos Valley Symphony Or chestra since it was formed in 1984. TEXAS A&M Hispanics: English-only ‘racist, devisive’ issue SAN ANTONIO (AP) — His panic leaders assailed an English- only referendum Wednesday that won overwhelming Republican approval, calling it a racist, divi sive issue that was not good for Hispanics or the GOP. Hispanic leaders said they were upset, but not surprised that the non-binding referendum won 93 percent approval on the Republi can primary ballot Tuesday. Oscar Moran, national presi dent of the League of United Latin American Citizens, said the English-only issue was just an other form of discrimination. “You only see this movement as Hispanics, blacks and other mi norities begin to assert themselves in the political arena,” Moran, a Republican, said. “It’s a very simplistic, backdoor approach that creates divisiveness and polarization in the commu nity,” he said. The question on the referen dum, which sought a yes or no re sponse, read, “English should be established as the official lan guage of the state of Texas and the United States of America.” Nine-count indictment accuses candidate HOUSTON (AP) — A Hous ton lawyer running for a state dis trict criminal court judge position is accused of bank fraud and other charges in a nine-count in dictment returned by a federal grand jury.
