F or fast relief from the nagging ache of taxes, we
recommend TIAA-CREF SRAs. SRAs are tax-
deferred annuities designed to help build additional
assets — money that can help make the difference
between living and living ire// after your working years
are over.
Contributions to your SRAs are deducted from
your salary on a pre-tax basis. That lowers your
current taxable income, so you start saving on taxes
right away. What’s more, any earnings on your SRAs
are also tax-deferred until you receive them as income.
That can make a big difference in how painful your tax
bill is every year.
As the nation s largest retirement system, we offer
a wide range of allocation choices — from TIAA’s
traditional annuity, with its guarantees of principal
and interest, to the seven diversified investment
accounts of CREF’s variable annuity. What’s more,
our expenses are very low, ° which means more of
your money goe§ toward improving your future,
financial health.
To find out mope, call our planning specialists at
1 800 8-42-2888. We’ll send you a complete SRA
information kit, plus a free slide-calculator that shows
you how much SRAs can lower your taxes.

Big 12 athletic directors meet
□ University presidents
have final say major
issues though.
KANSAS CITY(AP) — De
termined to maintain their
fragile unity, athletic directors
and women’s administrators
will meet for two days this
week to review the many issues
still to be resolved by the Big
12 Conference.
The presidents of the 12
schools, who will make the ulti
mate decisions on all major is
sues, will not attend the meet
ings in Kansas City on Tuesday
and Wednesday.
The sessions will focus on re
ports from committees that have
been studying revenue distribu
tion, scheduling, academic re
quirements, championship loca
tions and a Big 12 football playoff.
The Big 12, which has still
not hired a commissioner, plans
to begin business officially on
July 1, 1996.
“Above all, we’ve got to work
to make decisons that are in the
best interests of the conference,”
Missouri athletic director Joe
Castiglione said. “That has to
clearly remain our focus. We
need to build the engine and the
interior before we decide what
color to paint this new car.”
Nevertheless, signs of tension
have been growing between the
original Big Eight schools and
the four newcomers from Texas
— Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Bay
lor and Texas. Many officials in
the Big Eight are miffed at talk
coming out of Texas that the Big
12 offices could be headquar
tered in Dallas.
Since 1907, the Big Eight and
its precursors have been located
in Kansas City.
Kansas basketball coach Roy
Williams noted his displeasure
recently when asked about
Kansas athletic director
Frederick being a candidate for
Big 12 commissioner.
“I don’t want him to leave.
But if he does get the job
think he will remember we
were the Big Eight and we were
doing pretty doggone well,’ 1
Williams said.
“And we invited these four
schools to come in. Now I read
that it seems like we were the
ones who were suffering, and
those four Texas schools with
their great care sort of took us
in. It’s hard for me to under
stand how that happened.
“We’re going to move the
NCAA office, the Big 12 office,
the officials’ office, the BCA of
fice, the Alvamar Golf Associa
tion office down to Texas be
cause that’s the only place left
in the United States of Ameri
ca. I get sick of hearing that
garbage.”

other great Lady Aggies.
“Hopefully, I will be remem
bered as one of the good post
players here,” Helvey said. “One
who helped lead us to a
championship. ”
Lake is another
Lady Aggie out of
a traditionally
successful high
school wom
en’s basket
ball program.
The Dun
canville prod
uct lettered
three years for
the late coaching
legend Sandra
Meadows.
Lake is one of three
Duncanville Pantherettes on
the basketball team, joining Mc
Clelland and guard Lana Tuck
er. Lake said having them on
the team helped her in her deci
sion to attend A&M and has
helped in her playing perfor
mance.
“They have helped me adjust
here,” Lake said. “Just having
some familiar faces has helped
me out in order to get things go
ing.”
Harvey said Lake has
been a great asset to
the team.
“Lake has pro
vided us with
some leadership
at the backup
point guard,”
Harvey said.
“She’s a great
defensive player
and she gives
the team an addi
tion that they did
n’t Lave last year.”
Lake said this year
has been a learning experi
ence for her.
“Right now, I am learning a
lot from the upper players that
have been here for a while,”
Lake said. “I just hope to keep
improving so that one day I can
contribute and help out.”

Rockets: Defense the name
of the game in 86-78 victory
Continued from Page 9
but it was not a bad game,”
Williams said. “If we’re close in
the fourth quarter we bother a
lot of teams with our style.
We’re missing a lot of key guys
and we have to play slow and
deliberate. The opposition
doesn’t like that. I think it’s
smart basketball.”
“The key to the game was
we missed the open shots at
the end,” said Danny Ferry,
who had nine points for Cleve
land. “When you’ve got the
screens and you’ve the pass,
you’ve got to hit the open
shot.”
The first half was low-
scoring with the Cavaliers
holding a 38-36 lead despite
shooting just 34 percent.
Three-point shooting
was abysmal for each team.
Both the Rockets and Cava
liers, whose 40 percent 3-point
shooting is tops in the NBA,
were l-for-8 from behind the
arc in the first half. For the
game, Houston connected just
three of 16 3-point attempts,
while the Cavaliers were 4-for-
16.
The Rockets played
most of the second half with
just eight players. Carl Her
rera was scratched just before
the game after aggravating a
hamstring injury. Then start
ing forward Robert Horry took
himself out four minutes into
the third quarter after he re
injured his back. The muscle
injury forced him to miss five
games earlier this month.
Montana
calling it
quits
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -
Kansas City quarterback
Joe Montana plans to retire
before the NFL draft in
April because he doesn’t
think the Chiefs have a
chance to win the Super
Bowl, the San Jose Mercury
News reported.
In Sunday’s editions, the
newspaper quoted sources as
saying the four-time Super
Bowl winner with the San
Francisco 49ers is calling it
quits “because he knows
Kansas City isn’t going to
the Super Bowl. (Chiefs
president) Carl Peterson ap
parently doesn’t want that
to be used as an excuse for
Joe retiring.”
“He’s going to retire
whether he uses the knee as
an excuse or not is Joe’s
right,” one source told the
newspaper.
The Contra Costa Times
reported that Montana had
scheduled knee surgery last
week that would force him to
retire. The surgery was not
performed, although Mer
cury News sources told the
paper it is scheduled later
this year.
“These stories are planted
by somebody,” Chiefs
spokesman Bob Moore told
The Associated FYess. “As to
why, I have no idea. Some
body has their own agenda.
“I’m getting kind of tired
of it because it’s every week.
It’s always some source,
then it’s another source.
Who the hell their sources
are I have no idea.”
Montana was traded to
the Chiefs in 1993. He
missed five games that sea
son due to injuries, but was
healthy for most of last sea
son, which ended with a
playoff loss to the Miami
Dolphins.
