F I 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 ur// after
your working years are over.
Con tributions to your SRAs are deducted
from your salary on a pretax basis, so you pay
less in taxes now. And since earnings on your
SRAs are also tax deferred until you receive them
as retirement income, the money you don’t send
to Wash ington can work even harder for you.
What else do SRAs offer? A full range of
investment choices and the financial expertise
o f TIAA-CREF —A merica’s largest retirement
organization’.’
To find out more, stop by your benefits office
or give us a call at 1 800 842-2888. We ll show
you how SRAs can lower yt>tir taxes.
Do it today — it couldn’t hurt.

Illiteracy
Continued from Page 3
Orr, who has been tutoring
illiterate adults since 1993,
said volunteering at the center
has changed his life. He said
being able to relate to his stu
dents has helped him become
a successful tutor.
“I know how they feel and I
know what they are going
through in life, and I want to help
them get better jobs,” Orr said. “A
lot of people ask me if I get paid
for this — no, my payment is
when I see someone reading,
writing and understanding.”
Angela Wilson, community
service chair of Aggie Literacy
Volunteers and a junior bio
medical science major, said
teaching illiterate adults has
made her realize how lucky she
is to receive a quality education.
She said volunteering has far-
reaching benefits.
“It is a positive experience to
help someone who has a fami
ly,” Wilson said. “By helping the
adults, ultimately you’re helping
the child and the whole family.”
Hunt said although many
students volunteer their time to
tutor children, they may not re
alize how many adults need
help learning to read and write.
She said many organizations
support child tutoring pro
grams, but few concentrate on
teaching adults.
“More emphasis is being
put on the children’s learning
than the adults’,” Hunt said.
“Adults are being neglected. If
the adults are not educated or
literate, how do we expect the
children to be literate?”
George said volunteering with
illiterate adults is about giving
back to the community. He said
A&M students are some of the
best volunteers because they tru
ly care about helping others.
“It is not very difficult for us
to find volunteers, and we at
tribute that to the Aggies,”
George said. “These Aggies
who volunteer with us have Big
Event with us every week. Ag
gies are special and are con
cerned with giving back to the
community — it is that
‘Howdy’ business.”
What is Rosie's deal
O'Donnell is just an ordinary worn
with moderate appeal
u
ommy can you
hear me / Tommy
can you see me?”
At least once a day since
late August of last year, these
lines from the musical Tom
my have been heard on tele
vision. They have been
played so often, America’s
ears have started to ooze
blood every time the song
shrieks over the airwaves.
Rosie O’Donnell has invad
ed American television sets
faster than the theme song
from Friends became really annoying.
She was named Entertainer of the Year
by Entertainment Weekly, won an Ameri
can Comedy Award for being the funniest
woman on television, and is scheduled to
host the TbnyAu>ards\n]woe. I do not
have the foggiest idea why this woman
has become the crusading champion of
middle-aged women everywhere.
Maybe it is the fact that she is so dis
armingly honest. While most profession
al interviewers show the utmost compo
sure when meeting Tom Cruise, Rosie
makes the same interview a personal
milestone paramount only to... ummm,
well, in Rosie’s eyes, nothing is greater
than meeting the "Top Gun” himself.
I also do not understand why Rosie’s
guests are so devoted to this plump
chanteuse of charm. Every guest she has
on her show is on a quest to become
Rosie’s best friend. They all bring her
gifts. This woman gets more presents on
her show than Michael Jackson’s kid
could hope to get in his lifetime.
Even companies aim to get on the
good side of the “Queen of Nice.”
Koosh, the creator of the furry rubber
balls that serve no purpose, have armed
this woman to the hilt. During commer
cials, Rosie fires the Kooshes into the
audience with zeal. I suspect it is only a
matter of time until a lawsuit is filed by a
fan permanently blinded by one of the
flying balls of rubber tentacles.
Usterine has capitalized on the
chance to get on Rosie’s showtune-belt-
ing bandwagon. A well-placed source
(my sister, who sees Rosie more often
than she sees me) says Rosie was
named one of the Most Unkissable Peo
ple in America, by Scope, a rival mouth
