I Kandinsky (1866-1944) was a
[derin modern art from the time
produced his first abstract
jntings in 1911. 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.
He is the guest of University
President Frank Vandiver, who is
writing a book about Haig’s father,
the late Field Marshal Haig.

Backgammon and table tennis
tournaments began Monday.
“We know these games are not
covered in the athletic rosters and
(we) figured these are good life
time sports for students to learn
and participate in, so we promote
them with our tournament,’’ Wal
ter said.
“We like to call our recreation
programs the ‘other’ education,
meaning there should be a lot
more to school than just classes.”
Walter said any student not on
scholastic probation can play.
Winners of the tournaments
here receive paid trips to Austin to
represent Texas A&M University
Feb. 11 through Feb. 13 at the
regional tournament, where
Arkansas and Louisiana winners
will compete against winners from
Texas.

Legislator to promote gasohol tonight
By NANCY WEATHERLEY
Battalion Staff
With gasoline prices making
it hard to fill up the car, Texas
legislators such as Rep. 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.
