Dr. James Baker, di rector of computing and informa tion services for the College of Ar chitecture, dreamed of creating a Website to recognize Texas art of the 19th and 20th centuries. Thanks to a 1996 $5,000 Elec-' tronic Learning Incentives Program, grant through Texas A&M’s Acade my for Advanced Telecommunica tions and Learning Technologies, Baker was able to make his dream a reality. The Virtual Texas Art Museum Website, created for use in the new History of Texas Art class, is avail able to the public through Dec. 23 at the Local Color Gallery in Col lege Station as part of the Arts Council of Brazos Valley’s 10th an nual Holiday Market Celebrations. Baker said the Virtual Texas Art Museum features 4,000 pieces of art by more than 170 artists and catalogs more than 2,000 artists from around the state. Baker said he also included some developmental sketches, graphs and imagery to show the artists’ creative processes. “/ enjoyed creating the museum immensely. It is a wonderful site.” — Dr. James Baker Virtual Texas Art Museum Website creator “I wanted to show how the work evolved,” he said. “The final products are something that some one thought about and spent a lot of time on.” Baker said the museum is an im portant log of the state's artistic and cultural history. He said he spent hours digitiz ing original painting and images from books and museum exhibi tion catalogs. “I enjoyed creating the museum thoroughly,” he said. “It is a won derful site.” Baker said the Website is used exclusively for educational purpos es and is protected by a password because of limited copyright privi leges. Baker said there is a move ment to make the Web page avail able to everyone. “When copyright laws were cre ated, the Internet probably had not even been a thought in someone’s head,” he said. “Now, the Internet has outpaced copyright laws.” Baker said the Website is a work in progress, and he will continue to add artists weekly. “I’m always on the outlook for imagery, especially from before the 1960s,” he said. begins i on statii Colleagues reflect on elder Gore Father of vice president remembered as ardent defender of liberal causes WASHINGTON (AP) — No one ever accused A1 Gore Sr. of being wooden. The longtime senator whose son grew up to be vice president brought the same populist passion to legislating that he did to hillbilly fiddling at gala events in Wash ington early in his political career. The elder Gore, AL GORE JR. who died Saturday at the age of 90, waited seven months to give his first speech after entering the House in 1939. “I decided when I hit I would hit hard,” the future senator from Ten nessee later recalled. The speech “stopped the show,” it was report ed at the time, and won “an ova tion of proportions such as are usu ally reserved for elder statesmen.” Gore went on to serve in the House and in the Senate, where he was a voice for liberal causes. Ulti mately, those convictions cost him election to a fourth term in 1970, when Republican challenger William Brock criticized Gore’s stands on civ il rights, busing and the Vietnam War. Gore said he was designated “target No. 1’’ of the Nixon ad ministration and declared: “I would rather not be a target, but if I must, I prefer to be No. 1.” “There were certainly better speakers, probably people better at one-on-one campaigning, but he had a vision that was his gift,” said Jim Hall, chair of the National Trans portation Safety Board who once worked on Gore’s Senate staff. In that last Senate campaign, Gore’s wife, Pauline, “told him he had to get the fiddle out again” to boost his re-election prospects. Hall recalled. “He played a pretty mean fiddle, and he enjoyed life as well. ” The younger Gore absorbed politics at his father’s knee. The el der Gore recalled his son listening in when President Kennedy tele phoned, “mad as hops” and ut tering expletives. “Whew! Dad, I didn’t know a president talked like that!’’ young A1 declared.

At the same time, however, the House Judiciary Committee offered a plan to give the White House two days this week to present the president’s side in the Monica Lewinsky case. Clinton’s lawyers had re quested three or four days. CLINTON while committee chair Henry Hyde, R-Ill., origi nally proposed a one-day hearing and warned against any effort to delay the committee’s work. House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, R-Texas, the House vote-counter and a chief proponent of im peachment, ruled out a separate censure resolu tion as unconstitutional. And DeLay said: “If we voted today the president would be impeached.” Other Republicans said on the Sunday televi sion shows Clinton lost ground among those in clined not to impeach him with what they said were legalistic responses to 81 questions posed by the committee about his relations with Lewinsky. “When the president pretty much stiffed the Congress, then I think a number have said ‘No. I may vote for impeachment now,”’ Rep. Christopher Shays, R-Conn., said on ABC’s “This Week.” Shays is among only a few Re publicans openly opposing impeachment.
