Consisting of violinist Brian Hanly, cellist David Tomatz and pianist Werner Rose, the trio performed a breathtaking performance in Rudder Theater. “The Piano Trios of Robert Muczynski” began the concert and con temporary composer Muczynski was present for commentary before each pi ano trio was played. “One trio was written in the ’60s, one in the ’70s and one in the ’80s,” Muczynski said. “All three are very dif ferent because they were written during different times of my life.” The trio commissioned Muczynski to write the Second Piano Trio in 1975 and the Third Piano Trio in 1987 after a suc cessful tour of his first attempt. “It is another dimension in creativity, pianist Rose said. “It is very meaningful to be the first to play a piece, the first to bring it to reali ty.” The trios, in what Muczynski called dialogue back and forth between the in struments, were performed superbly by the ensemble and were brought to life with accuracy and emotion. Trio also performed a marvelous “Dumky” piano ensamble by Antonin Dvorak. A “dumka” is Czechslovakian gypsy music characterized by variations within the tempo. Because of the ensemble’s sensitivity to the variations, the crowd was soon Violinist Brian Hanly, cellist David Tomatz and pianist Wcmer Rose of the Western Arts Trio. mesmerized; one movement was wild and frenzied, the next movement was slow and lamented. Rose, also a brilliant solo pianist, is Texas A&M coordinator of music in the Department of Philosophy and Humani ties. He came to A&M in June from a 22-year tenure at the University of Chamber Orchestra at the Univeffi, Wyoming to spearhead development of music in the College of Liberal Arts. Hanly. who received his early training from famed violinist Josef Gingold, is a brilliant violinist. Hanly currently directs the Violin Department and conducts the Wyoming. Cellist Tomatz is Director of School of Music at the Universityl Houston. His magnificent 1729 Ch Tononi cello was only a compliiK: his explosive talent. 1 Firm finds, manages technology By Timothy J. Hammons Staff Writer A new company is being organized at Texas A&M whose charter contract pro vides for identification and commerciali zation of technology developed within the Texas Engineering Experiment Serv ice. The establishment of Technology Commercialization or TechCom, was approved by the Board of Regents this month. TechCom, owned by and orga nized to serve TEES, also will provide its services to the University if re quested. TechCom President David W. Mueller said the company will be funded through private investors. It will not use Univer sity money, he said. TechCom’s goal is to commercialize technology for TEES and provide the same service to other University depart ments. “TechCom will be a service organiza tion,” Mueller said. “We work with the component and inventor with outside business people to develop a strategy which we will implement.” Components are other departments within the University System. To develop a marketing strategy. Mueller said, TechCom considers four criteria: market potential, product poten tial, patentabilty and ownership analysis. A strategy may be anything from a li censing agreement for the product to forming a new company to produce the product. Once the potential for marketing a product is realized, TechCom has to raise capital, write a business plan and hire management, Mueller said. TechCom will own stock in the newly developed company and will have a seat on the board to monitor its progress. Mueller, who earned his B.S. and Ph.D. in chemistry from A&M, is famil iar with technology commercialization. Before joining TechCom, he was the senior vice president of BCM Technolo gies, the technology transfer arm of Bay lor College of Medicine. While at BCM, he said, the firm started five companies in four years. The first company BCM started has gone through the entire process — iden tifying the product, commercializing it and waiting for the checks. A misconception about TechCom is educate the people involved onto process of commercialization wods that it is a research fundin^ ler said. Research funding r suit of what TechCom does, but it is primary goal, he said. Mueller said he docs not want to t fer any technology until TechCo completely functional. “We want to transfer, but we ha have the tool in place,” he said. TechCom is a tool, he said — a i pany that forms other companies. It will take a month to get the pany started, he said. Muel- he rc- isn’t a “We will have an open semir anyone who is interested," he i “There probably will be moreik! seminar just in technology transfr said. “(We) will not do that itl company is formed and were readvt spond." He said the seminars also will j the impact of problems thatcanoccn commercialization. Mueller said the seminars early in 1989. In order for technology transfer to Lx possible, Mueller said it is important tc U.S. Humane Society targets consumers of mink, fox furs Llamas a pm of State fair for first tim DALLAS (AP) — In its toughest cam- ■ paign ever against the multibillion dollar fur garment industry, the Humane So ciety of the United States is targeting consumers who buy mink, fox and other pelts. “You should be ashamed to wear fur,” is this year’s theme, publicized mainly on billboards. Three of the out door posters, on major highways in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, show a woman in a fur coat covering her face with her purse, and a small photograph of a rac coon. The Humane Society estimates that 27 million animals are killed each year by the fur industry, either on fur farms or by trapping. Many of the farm-raised animals are treated inhumanely during their captivity and die excruciatingly by electrocution, clubbing, gassing and drowning, Helen Mittemight, a Humane Society spokes man in Washington, said. “When they take wild animals and shove them into wire cages, they go cage-crazy,” Mittemight said. “They resort to self-mutilation, cannibalism. When their fur is at its peak, they are killed by any means that doesn’t damage the fur.” For years, the Humane Society and other groups have criticized the killing of minks, foxes and other animals for their pelts. But never has a campaign been so “When they take wild an imals and shove them into wire cages, they go cage-crazy. They resort to self-mutilation, canniba lism. When their fur is at its peak, they are killed by any means that doesn’t damage the fur.” — Helen Mittemight She said the Friday after Thanksgiving has been dubbed “Fur-Free Friday” and is a likely day for a demonstration, al though no dates have been set. Since 1860, minks have been raised on U.S. fur farms and remain the most popular fur-producing animals, Bruce Smith, administrative officer of the Na tional Board of Fur Farm Organizations, said. Foxes generally are second in pop ularity. purposely directed at the consumer. “Our hope is that by tying everything together at about the same time of year and building momentum, we will get the message out to the public that wearing fur is a shameful act and does cost ani mals their lives, not for necessity but simply for the style of the fur,” Bill Meade, director of the Humane Society’s Gulf States Office in Corpus Christi, said. But he said society officials realize their task is formidable. Cile Holloway of Dallas, a member of the advisory board of the Animal Con nection of Texas, said several protests will likely occur this fall outside Dallas fur shops. “The allegation that they’re mis treated is patently ridiculous and ab surd,” Robert Buckler said. Buckler is the executive director of the Fur Farm Animal Welfare Coalition in St. Paul. Minn., which sets standards for the na tion’s 1,400 fur farms. “If you’ve ever owned a pet, you know that if you put it under any kind of stress at all . . . the first thing that suffers is its coat, and let’s face it — fur-bearing animals are raised for the quality of their coats,” Buckler said. “Even if farmers have no humane ethic — and I would challenge that — they do have an economic ethic. ’’ Industry officials said fur purchases are rising. In 1975, sales totaled $525 million, but exceeded $1 billion for the first time in 1981 and reached $1.8 bil lion in both 1986 and 1987.
