Online museum offers Texas art Endeaw
BY ANDREA BROCKMAN
The Battalion
For years. 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.

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.

: Impeachment the ultimate censu
WASHINGTON (AP) — With hopes of a cen
sure alternative fading, lawmakers said the
House appeared to be moving
inexorably Sunday toward im
peaching President Clinton.
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.
