However, Alexander reiterated that the Rockets will not stay in The Summit for the long term. “We cannot afford to stay here,” Alexander said as the Rockets played the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night at The Summit. “Within three or four years, we would be losing money here. How are we supposed to compete for players?” The downtown dome would have featured movable stands and a roof that could have been lowered to create a more intimate setting for basketball. Alexander said he is not locked into a site for his proposed new building. He also said he is hoping to work with the city for some creative financing to make a new arena work. The Rockets have a lease at The Summit through the year 2003. Al ready, there is a plan on the board to renovate The Summit at a price tag of about $40 million.

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE ARE PUTTING TOO MANY RETIREMENT DOLLARS. E very year, a lot of people make a huge mistake on their taxes. They don’t take advantage of tax deferral and wind up sending Uncle Sam money they could be saving for retirement. Fortunately, that’s a mistake you can easily avoid with TIAA-CREF SRAs. SRAs not only ease your current tax- bite, they offer a remarkably easy way to build retirement income—especially for the “extras” that your regular pension and Social Security benefits may not cover. Because your contributions are made in before-tax dollars, you pay less taxes now. And since all earnings on your SRA are tax-deferred as well, the money you don’t send to Washington works even harder for you. Down the road, that can make a dramatic difference in your quality of life. What else makes SRAs so special? A range of allocation choices—from the guaranteed security of T1AA to the diversified investment accounts of CREF’s variable annuity—all backed by the nation's number one retirement system. Why write off the chance for a more rewarding retirement? Call today and learn more about how TIAA-CREF SRAs can help you enjoy many happy returns. ■rep L_ Benefit now fi-om tax deferral.
