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.

Re zoning request contested
in two-hour council meeting
iel
By RANDY CLEMENTS
Battalion Staff
The final plan for the Woodson
Village, Section 2 subdivision was
tabled Thursday night after two
hours of debate between the Col
lege Station City Council, nearby
residents and the developer.
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.
