UNFORTUNATELY, TfflS IS
WHERE PEOPLE ARE PUTTING TOO
MANY RETIREMENT DOLLARS.
E very year, a lot of people make a huge
mistake on their taxes. They wind up send
ing Uncle Sam money they could be saving for
retirement.
Fortunately, that’s a mistake you can
avoid with SRAs—tax-deferred annuities from
TIAA-CREF. SRAs not only ease your current
tax bite, they offer an easy way to build retirement
income—especially for the “extras’’ that your
pension and Social Security benefits may not
cover. Because your contributions are made in
before-tax dollars, you pay less in taxes now. And
since earnings on your SRAs are tax deferred, your
money works even harder for you.
What else do SRAs offer? The investment
choice, flexibility, and expertise of TIAA-CREF—
America’s foremost retirement organization.
Why write off the chance for a more reward
ing retirement? Stop by your benefits office
or call us at 1 800 8-12-2888 and find out how
TIAA-CREF SRAs can help you enjoy many
happy returns.

J ohn Fluff compares it to a foot
ball team playing a scrim
mage. Texas A&M’s Symphon
ic and Concert bands will give free
preview performances allowing
band members to play for a “prac
tice” audience one last time be
fore going on tour to perform the
“real deal.”
Tonight’s 7:30 show in Rudder The
atre will be a scrimmage of sorts.
Fluff, a member of the Sym
phonic Band for two years and a ju
nior industrial distribution major,
said the purpose of the preview
concert is to break the ice with the
new music before performing it in
front of larger audiences.
“The first performance is never
as good as the last,” Fluff said. “We
get all the kinks out before we leave
to go on tour.”
The Symphonic Band will be
touring the East Texas communities
of Longview, Tyler and Texarkana
March 8-10.
Lt. Timothy Rhea, conductor of
the University Symphonic Band,
said the upcoming tour is the first
time the band has toured for the
sole purpose of performing. He
said that in the past, the band
only performed out-of-town con
certs while attending other out-
of-town events.
Rhea said touring gives the
student musicians a unique op
portunity to play for former stu
dents and gain exposure in other
communities. He said the band’s
main goal when touring is to
show audiences how they have
grown and improved.
“Music is kind of like the uni
versal language,” Rhea said. “The
people in the band work very
hard to prepare the music, and
they want to share this with any
one who will enjoy it — and they
do a very fine job.”
David Brines, a bass clarinet
player and a senior English major,
said he is excited about the upcom
ing tour.
“With A&M not having a music
major, there is an expectation that
we’re not that good,” Brines said.
“We’re going to open up a lot of peo
ple’s eyes to the fact that A&M does
have some musicians.”
Rhea said one difference be
tween A&M’s Symphonic Band and
other university bands is the A&M
leclared Ohi
tr areas bee
band practices only three hours a leannouna
week, compared to the six hours
most bands practice. He said the
pieces presented in the preview
concert are new and diverse.
Fluff said his favorite thingabout
playing in the band is the challenge
it presents.
“It is hard as hell — it is stuffyou
would expect to find at a school
with music majors,” Fluff said. "The
band is getting better and better
and is growing in popularity.”
Rhea said he enjoys his job
tremendously because he gets to
work closely with students. Hesard
the students’ dedication to the
band is outstanding, especie^
since none of them are music mt
jors. The students are in the banr
because they love to play music,
Rhea said.
Fluff said he doesn’t mind that
the tour will take up the first half of
his spring break.
“It’s going to be a break in itself
Fluff said. "You’ll be touring withal
