Born in Mos- jw, he visited France and Ger many and was finally forced to flee aissia after the Bolshevik Revolu- h, joining the ranks of such talented emigres as Marc Chagall and Naum Gabo. Heavily influenced by the works of Claude Monet, Kandins ky is considered one of the spir itual fathers of modern Abstract Expressionism. His classic state ment on art was his 1912 book, “Concerning the Spiritual in Art. Through his painting and his writing, Kandinsky also had a great influence on Haig, who be gan painting while a prisoner in World War II. After the war, he studied painting at the Camber well School of Art. Haig’s reputation as a painter is well established in Europe, and he has had one-man exhibitions in Edinburgh, London and Munich.

Dan Kubiak of the 36th District are encouraging alternate energy sources. Kubiak, a member of the Southwest Regional Energy Council, will speak about one new source of energy— gasohol — tonight at 8 in 601 Rudder. Kubiak’s speech is sponsored by the MSC Political Forum Committee. Gasohol is a blend of 10 per cent ethyl alcohol and 90 per cent unleaded gasoline. The ethyl alcohol can be pro duced from grain products. And production of gasohol would give the farmers an extra cash crop in times when the farming industry is in a slump, accord ing to a report prepared by Kubiak. Besides benefiting the farming industry, gasohol can also benefit urban areas because it also can be produced from trash and organic wastes, the re port says. Kubiak sponsored a bill which would provide distribu tors of gasohol with tax credits and payments of 5 cents a gallon until 1987, when the payments would begin decreasing. Kubiak has said the bill, pas sed in the recent Legislative Special Session, can stimulate the Texas economy by provid ing a market for excess grain.
