Page 8 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 1977 In Russia United Press International NEW YORK — One year ago Ernst Neizvestny, the Soviet Union s premier sculptor, worked in a Moscow studio whose front door was besmirched with anti- Jewish insults and a swastika drawn in chalk. Each morning, he looked out of the window to check on his “com panions” — one seated in a Volga automobile and the other in an egg-yolk yellow vehicle with a 10- foot antenna. Today Neizvestny divides his working time between Europe and a studio in Greenwich Village about two miles from the American Jewish Congress building where an exhibi tion of his works was shown re cently. Before his artistic debut in the United States, Neizvestny recalled his bout with his KGB political police tails — especially the one in the yellow Jaguar. Although it was far from a Jaguar in model style, he said, “I called the automobile with the antenna the ‘yellow Jaguar’ because of its out landish, foreign color for Moscow — something looking like a New York taxi.” The “Jaguar” took up its vigil out side Neizvestny’s studio after the sculptor submitted one of the last of his 60 requests to leave the Soviet Union because it was “impossible to work in a society that rejects any thing striking. “I just went about my activities as if they were not there,” said the winner of every big Soviet art com petition including the monumental Artistic appreciation low, says sculptor Luckcmia victims gtt hope for remission Aswan world’s relief for the Soviet-built Dam in Egypt — th biggest sculpture. Neizvestny explained how he came to know the driver. “He just knocked on the door one morning and came in and introduced himself as the man in the vehicle. T have, well you know, been listening to you all this time, and well, I have become fond of you,’ the man said, according to Neiz vestny. ‘Come, let’s you and I cooper ate and together we shall send things to the West. Neizvestny, who was allowed to leave Russia in March, 1976, said the story illustrates the difficulty of a Westerner understanding the Soviet Union and its controls over every aspect of life. of He recalled that the music Soviet composer Dmitri Shos takovich was once criticized as “not correct” because his tunes could not be hummed, and Nobel Prize win ning writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn was upbraided because his works were not “happy.” Neizvestny said he once asked the late Minister of Culture, Mrs. Ekaterina Furtseva, why his designs were incorporated in works across the Soviet Union without his getting recognition. Neizvestny,’ ” he quoted Furt- seva as saying, “ ‘you are a supreme egotist. The most important thing is that the work is being done.’ Neizvestny says he plans to write a book about his experiences in the Soviet Union. The title, he said, will be: “The Theory of the Big Noth ing.” KANM has openings United Press International HOUSTON — The latest hope for slowing the ravages of leukemia may lie in applying new technology to an old idea, reimplanting a patient’s own bone marrow. Transplanting bone marrow, the blood-producing tissue which leukemia attacks, is not new. The idea is to replace diseased cells with healthy ones, thereby retarding the disease. KANM, Texas A&M’s student- run radio station, will hold a re cruitment meeting Tuesday night at 7:30. The meeting will be held in 216M MSG. No license or previous experience is required said Phil Williams, sta tion manager. MONDAYS thru SATURDAYS From Opening To 5 p.m. (Except Sundays and Holidays)! KANM operates at 89.1 FM Stereo on both cables and is funded and operated entirely by students. The problem always has been matching a donor so the patient’s immunological defense system will not reject healthy cells from another body. “With brother or sister, you have a one in four chance of compatabil- ity,” said Dr. Karel Dicke of the M.D. Anderson and Tumor Insti tute. “Beyond siblings, the cl® is extremely low, about one 40,000.” So, scientists turned to autc: ous transplantation — reii tion of a victim’s own semi-hei: marrow. The procedure was tri first in 1957, unsuccessfully. But that was before chemol!- apy could be relied upontoidij remission, a period whensymplj disappear and leave bone mar: healthy enough for transplant.
