Painter visits Vandiver, classes U Scottish lord discusses Russian artisl By DANIEL PUCKETT “Probably the largest number of full-time posi tions in English are in the Arab world." Dr. Sami Anwar, Ph.D Full professor in English Kuwait University will speak on the training needed for working in Kuwait University on Monday, November 16 in Room 164, A&A Building 3:00 p.m. Topic: ‘‘English in the Arab World” Battalion Staff Self-exiled from his native Rus sia, hounded from Germany by the Nazis, Vassily Kandinsky nevertheless managed to influ ence an entire generation of artists. Speaking to a small audience in the Memorial Student Center Thursday night, Lord George Douglas Haig, himself a painter, discussed the spiritual and artistic development of Kandinsky’s work. Kandinsky, influenced by turn- of-the-century, avant-garde art and Byzantine icons, was a major force in the creation of the Bauhaus school of art in Weimar Germany. He was a great artist, Haig said, because he was adven turous and broke through artistic barriers. In discussing his own work, Haig dissociated himself from Kandinsky’s rational, logical approach to using rhythm and color. “When it comes to color. I’m like a great animal — I just go and look at it and decide wbat I like.” Haig was invited to speak here by University President Frank Vandiver, who has known him for about 10 years. The two met when Vandiver decided to write a book on Haig’s father, the late Field Marshal Douglas Haig. Vandiver had been writing a book about Gen. John J. Pershing and became fascinated by the field marshal, a close associate of the general dur ing World War I. Haig had a general reputation as the great butcher of the West ern Front, but that’s entirely a myth, ” Vandiver said. He said his work on the book is proceeding slowly, and he expects to finish it in about five years. Haig is not only the son of a field marshal, but also the cousin of a famous general — Gen. Alexander Haig, the U.S. secretary of state whom he met recently. United DALLA! alist Hell _ ‘ St£ jace to If roubles vi Uhl, 30, uite a bo jjericas, lievery tl nival.

Residents from Thomas Street, Pershing Drive and Hawthorne Street contested the proposed plan because of sewer and drain age problems every time it rains. Charles L. Boyd, a Pershing Street resident, said that if the subdivision were developed, rain water wouldn’t be able to drain into Bee Creek. The creek fills ev ery time it rains, without the addi tional proposed 25 lots, he said. Boyd suggested the plan be tabled until the sewer and drain age problem is corrected. Garland Cannon, a Hawthorn Street resident, said the develop ment should be denied because the flooding is a health, welfare and safety problem now and would worsen with the develop ment. Also, the city should take care of the flooding so the land can be properly developed, he said. City Engineer Elrey Ash said infiltration into the sewer lines when it rains adds to the flooding problem. There is 30 miles of line that must be checked out, he said. The council tabled the plan until the engineering staff can tell it when an infiltration study can be done and what the study would cost. In other action, the council tabled a rezoning request for ab out 22 acres from single family re sidential to a medium density apartment zone because the over all area needs to be considered. The 22 acres, on the south side of Southwest Parkway and (iOOfefl from the East Bypass, willbere-| considered at the Nov. 19 ning and Zoning Commissioi 1 meeting. quai 1 814,000 ie cards agan wer ttionhek inli Dalle Class holidays are coming soon tir teachf The i 1,000 ft M teac v Get ACTION with WANT Dates to note on Noveml and December calendars includf the following: Nov. 26-29, inclusive - Thanksgiving holidays Dec. 11 — last day offal semester classes; commencemeii!
