A special lecture seriesentitled “What Is Coming and What HasGone- The College in the University” ha® been organized by Isaak Wirszup, professorof mathematics and resident master ofWoodward Court.The cost of all phases of the Harperrenovation was $2.6 million. Funds camefrom the Kresge Foundation in the form of a$1 million matching grant, the Andrew W.Mellon and Gulf Oil Foundations, and giftsfrom alumni.Harper was built in 1912 and had been theUniversity’s main library building until theRegenstein library was completed in 1970.Paul Yovovich, Student Ombudsman, toldthe Maroon that he prefers the atmosphere ofthe remodeled reading room at BusinessEast for reading and study to Regenstein.“It’s so nice over there,” he commented,“you can spread yourself out and lie down.”Mrs. Straus hopes that undergraduates“will participate and enjoy the events andwill be pleased with the way Harper nowlooks and will be pleased with what it meansfor the College.”The ins of going out in Chicago“Don’t stay on the University of Chicagocampus. It’s a city within a city.” So advisedJory Graham, author and Sun-Timescolumnist, at a talk entitled “A Student’sChicago” presented in Mandel HallWednesday.Ms. Graham, speaking to a group of newstudents, described Chicago’s museums,coffee shops, theaters and youthorganizations which provide entertainmentwhich is within a student’s budget.Three Chicago museums were cited by Ms.Graham. The Museum of Science and In¬dustry has free admission. The Museum ofContemporary Art gives students a one yearmembership for $5. Members are entitled toa 10 per cent discount on all activities at theqnuseum and free entry to the Fridayevening films. The Art Institute of Chicagoalso has evening films for a bargain price ofMs. Graham recommended that studentsjoin an association called “Young Friends ofWho is old enough to have learned fromexperience? — Henry Thoreau the Arts,” (Y.F.A.). A $5 membership feeentitles a student to substantial discounts onall museum activities, the Chicago Sym¬phony and the Fine Arts Quartet amongother activities. Each member can bring anon-member friend to the activities. YFAhas a chapter on campus.Ms. Graham told her audience aboutChicago theaters which are cheap or free. InOld Town, there are two theater groups. TheCommunity Theater charges $3 admissionand all seats are excellent. The Old TownPlayers have free performances near theCommunity Theater in Old Town.There is also a college and communitytheater troupe which performs at the JaneAdams and Hull Theater on N. Broadway,admission is $1.50. Columbia College produces some excellent shows for free;donations are requested after the per¬formance.Coffee houses and restaurants were citedas excellent meeting-places for youngpeople. The Earl of Old Town and theKamahagi, a Japanese establishment, aretwo of Ms. Graham’s favorites; for Chinesefood she recommends Fon Yong and TheDragon Seed . The Bakery for a big splurge,or Ratso’s for organic food and the en¬tertainment of a string quartet on Wed¬nesday and weekends. Other favorites areOtto’s, near Halsted and Armitage, whichserves excellent food plus all the bread andbeer you want for one dollar. The AmazingGrace in Evanston has good cheap food andis the hang-out of Northwestern Students.Ms. Graham will send a more complete list erf Nor n side cafes on request.

The report claimed that blood wasbeing purchased from transients whofalsified their medical records in order toqualify as vendors.The Tribune disclosure prompted an in¬vestigation by a state House committee,which resulted in the “Blood Labeling Act”.The Act required that all blood be labelled toindicate whether it was purchased ordonated. It also prohibited hospitals fromusing purchased blood for transfusionswithout the doctor’s written consent. For allpractical purposes, the Act prohibits the useof purchased blood, since hospitals wouldexpose themselves to various legal problems it*Need bloodfadfiors in hospitalsby using purchased blood.This Act prompted the University hospitalsand clinics to change their practice of usingpurchased blood whenever volunteer bloodwas not available to relying exclusively onvolunteer blood. This change created acritical shortage of blood which was con¬trolled only through the response of studentsand the University community.However the hospitals are once againfeeling the pressure of obtaining volunteers.According to Carolyn Scott, director of theUniversity’s Blood Bank, they are trying tostart a campaign for more volunteers. Shesaid: “Usual demands and the unavailabilityof local donors because of vacations havereally made it difficult to keep up in recentweeks. We’re calling all the donors we haveon file. Emergency cases or additional un¬ scheduled surgery could put us in a crisissituation.“Donors, especially those with commonblood types, should call us at 947-5579. We canschedule a convenient time for them to comein to give blood. It takes about half an hour,”she said She also pointed out that volunteerswho have changed their addresses shouldcontact the blood bank.Scott estimated that the blood bank needs1,000 units a month in order to maintain asteady source of blood for the hospitals’normal functions.In order to be eligible, a donor must bebetweer the age of 18 and 66 and be inreasonably good health. The procedure forregistering is relatively simple. You needonly fill out a pledge card or call the bloodbank.IllV.0)>cDotfKin 2CL••COo9.■oCOcck.0)JDouO2- Jhe Chicago Maroon - Friday, October 19, 1973WHPK asks for money: an analysisBy Kurt HansonWithin the next two weeks, the Committeeon Recognized Student Organizations(CORSO) is going to allocate $35,000 among90 student groups requesting funds for the1973-74 year.The University’s student-run F.M. radiostation, WHPK, is going to be asking for over$7,000 of CORSO’s money. WHPK’s battle forthose funds promises to be a difficult one. Itmay even be the last contest.“Our budget request for the year is $7,046,and as I see it, that’s a skin and bonesbudget,” says program director OliverScribner. “In fact, taking into accountincreased costs, that’s an effectively smallerbudget than last year’s.”But, in the opinion of WHPK governingboard member Nick Aronson, “What CORSOshould ask is this: would anyone miss WHPKif it were taken off? I think that the answer isyes, and I think that WHPK has the ability tocome up with interesting, viable and creativealternative programming.”There is every indication that CORSO isnot going to give up the money without afight. CORSO Committee Chairman AnitaJarmin told the Maroon, that “WHPK gets avery, very large proportion of our budget. Idon’t think that in past years there’s been agood survey done on their listenership, and Ithink that the amount of money we give themshould depend on the number of students wholisten.”Jarmin continued, “I think all the peopleon the committee—Skip Landt, Enid Rieser,Colin Morley, Cliff—felt in agreement withthis.”Nine years ago, the student radio station’sfunding would have come directly from theStudent Activities Office, at the whim of thedirector of students activities. In 1964,however, Student Government asked thedean of students if SG couldn’t be involved inthese decisions.The dean agreed, so CORSO was created todistribute the funds. Five members ofCORSO are students elected by StudentGovernment. The other three are faculty orstaff people ’appointed by the dean ofstudents.According to student activities directorand CORSO member Dan “Skip” Landt,there are about 90 student organizations thisfall, and perhaps 35 of them will be allocatedfunds. Those that do not get the money willreceive no funds for one of three reasons.If the organization is essentially political,religious, or quasi-academic (in which caseit would more properly be funded by anacademic division of the University: e.g., theFrench club), CORSO is not authorized togive it any funds. If the proposal is poorlythought out, it will possibly be rejected,Landt continued. Other organizations left outof the funding are left out because ofpriorities—CORSO has a limited budget withwhich to work.Jarmin is referring to the CORSO meetingof October 8, during which director of studentactivities “Skip” Landt noted that the stationcould attempt to determine its listenershipby asking listerners to call in to the station.When Scribner suggested that the averageF.M. listener would not be inclined to go tothat much effort, CORSO committeemember Cliff Tabin replied, “Tell yourlisteners that if they don’t call in, you’ll go offthe air.”In addition to wanting student listenershipto be a determining factor in the allocationgiven to WHPK, the CORSO committeemembers also suggest that the station’sprogramming reflect more of “whatstudents want to hear,” as Miss Jarmin putit.Jarmin felt that the priciple should befollowed, even if the students wanted an all¬rock format—with a lot of record giveaways.“That would be serving the most studentsand their wants and needs,” she told theMaroon.One who disagrees with the CORSOphilosophy in this matter is WHPKgoverning board member Aronson.“That’s not legitimate,” he told theMaroon, “because what she’s saying, ineffect, is that WHPK should program to theexclusion of other groups. That’s false,wrong, and an injustice to the people whowork at WHPK and to the Universitycommunity.”Aronson, who is also director of theUniversity office of radio and television,continued, “The people who fund youshouldn’t dictate what goes on the air. This is regulations and WHPK station policies.Thirty-four percent of fall quarterprogramming is what the FCC would classifyas educational, which, according to Scribner,“is the highest percentage we’ve had in thethree years I’ve been here.” (WHPK hasbeen broadcasting as an FM station onlysince 1968.)“This includes seven hours of classicalmusic, five hours of folk, four hours of ethnicprogramming, three hours of radio dramaand readings, two-and-a-half hours of newsand public affairs, and two hours ofmiscellaneous arts,” Scribner said.The rest of the programming is made up ofwhat the FCC calls ‘‘lightCALENDARFriday, October 19FILM: "Gone With the Wind," Doc, Mandel, $1, 7:30 pmonly.CROSSROADS: Intercultural workshop on the culturalaspects of language, preceded by a pot luck supper at 7:30pm.

It’s the kind ofthing that is already going on far too often inbusiness and government. WHPK shouldn’tpermit this.”“At this point, I don’t know what CORSOknows about running a radio station. But youhave to deal in good faith, and you have tofund in good faith. You have to assume thatthe people running the station are doing asgood a job as they know how.’“There can be restrictions on the use of themoney,” Aronson said. “But if the budget islegitimate, it should be approved regardlessof the programming. Whether the size of theaudience is big enough, whether theprogramming is being done for theaudience—that is not CORSO’s decision tomake.”Scribner apparently feels that the peoplerunning the station are doing the kind of jobthat Aronson mentioned. “We’ve hadtroubles in past years,” Scribner admits.“We’ve had a lack of commitment on thepart of station people. We’ve had programdirectors leaving in the middle of the year,and we’ve been in a very sloppy state oforganization. No.so this year.”“This year, all student personnel at thestation are required to put in time doingessential tasks outside of their programs atleast equal to the time they put in on theirprograms,” Scribner said. “We have,capable, dedicated people running thevarious departments—which include news,production, the music library, traffic, PSAs,and publicity—and in the positions of musicdirector, maintenance engineer, t d stationmanager.“Both Lloyd Redwing, the stationmanager, and I have pledged outselves totremendous amounts of work in making surethat the organizational structure ismaintained and that all station personnel, nomatter what their function, are properlytrained to operate almost all stationbroadcast and recording equipment and areaware of all applicable FCC rules and entertainment”—26-1/ 2 hours of rock, ten ofjazz, and eight-and-a-half hours of rhythmand blues.In a phone conversation yesterday, Jarminasserted to the Maroon that her committeehas “absolutely no plans at all to cutWHPK’s budget. We haven’t seen it yet; wehaven’t discussed it yet. How could we beconsidering cutting their budget?”She stood by her reasoning that “mostclubs we fund get no more than a certainnumber of dollars per student involved” andthat WHPK should be funded on the basis ofthe number of students listening to it.The subject of WHPK—its budget, itslistenership, and its programming—will becoming up at a CORSO meeting next week,according to Jarmin. The exact date has notyet been determined. Such fireworks asthere are will probably take place at themeeting.Library policy changesThree changes in library policies andprocedures will be effective at the beginningof the fall quarter. Each will have significantimpact on the library’s users.(1) There is a change in loan schedulesapplicable to regular privilege borrowers.The new date due schedule for regular loansprovides for four due dates per academicquarter. Regular loans will be due on theFridays of the 2nd. 6th, 9th, and 11th weeks ofeach quarter. The new schedules have beendesigned to implement a major goal of theautomated circulation system presentlybeing developed: maximum patron con¬venience commensurate with librarycollection control and book availability. Thedate due schedule for quarter privilege loansremains unchanged. Details on the new loanperiods are given in the printed date dueschedule which is available at all librarycirculation service points. In all cases, it isthe patrons responsibility to monitor duedates of all material currently on loan and torenew or return material as it becomes due.(2) Billing policies and related proceduresin Regenstein reserve have been revised toprovide for the sending of only four bills to astudent during each quarter. These bills aremade up during the first, fourth, seventh,and ninth weeks of the quarter and sum upany bills incurred since the previous noticewas sent. This change has been designed tofree staff for direct public service byreducing the amount of time required for thebilling procedure.(3) Effective October 1, 1973, individuallibrary users will incur on the billing dateonly one $5.00 billing charge for alldelinquent transactions generated sinceOctober 1 and remaining in the files at agiven library service point; thus, tendelinquencies - five each incurred inRegenstein reserve and in Harper will callfor two billing fees instead of ten as has beenthe case. The library hopes that users willclear up all delinquencies prior to billingdates so that both the library and its patronscan avoid the cost of added handling.RUGBY: U.C. vs. the Quad Cities Rugby Club, 1:30 pm atStagg Field.FILM: "The Green Wall," K.A.M.

Originallycooked up in one of the back rooms of IdaNoyes, the idea of the parade (scheduled fornext Friday) has been developedsubstantially in the past month. “In someways, it is more an anti-parade than aparade,” said Marie Hauville of the StudentActivities Office. “It’s something to do, not towatch.”Even so, the watching should be prettygood. Leading off the parade will be GrandMarshal Walter Jeschke, Major Domo of IdaNoyes Hall, in his official, Harper-Wieboldtceremonial dress; following will be animpressive display of University hardware,including University mowing machines, withtheir bars raised in salute, street sweepers,three-wheelers, and other vehicles of varioussizes and descriptions; George Armstrongplaying his Scottish bagpipe; a FacultyBicycle Brigade; the Order of the C ; a redand brass calliope; two undergraduate batontwirlers; the lower brass conspiracy; thekazoo marching band, including Big Ed; thedebate team, (presumably orating as theywalk); the Oscar Meyer Wiener truck,balloon persons handing out balloons; the 65-piece Luther High School North MarchingBand, and last but not least, the University of Chicago Polish sausage and sandwichvendors. (While it is not clear how many ofthe vendors will give up their choicelocations to participate, they are beinginvited to do so.)Additional invitations are being extendedto medical students (in the hopes that theywill parade in white jackets withstethoscopes around their necks), lawstudents (with wigs and robes), bookstoreemployees in the red-striped jackets, andcontingents from other Universitydepartments. Students or staff interested inparticipating, or perhaps in constructing“mini-floats” are encouraged to call theStudent Activities Office, 753-3591.Beginning on 59th St. in front of Ida NoyesHall, the parade will proceed by a circuitousroute around and through the campusleading to North Field where a Field Day isbeing planned by the physical educationdepartment.“Someone once asked why the Universityof Chicago had no humor magazine,”observed Skip Landt, Director of StudentActivities. “The answer was that life aroundhere was funny enough without one. Isuppose this parade is simply an extension ofthat remark.”The parade is scheduled to form on 59th St.by Ida Noyes next Friday about 12:45 ]and to begin about 1:30 p.m. The life science center: a coming attraction.^^^0 ^^^0J6n**p*n*n**p*^n**P*^PI (frutM |{ 1643 E.35TH STREET ?j*CHICAGO, ILL. 60615?J Phone: FA 4-1651 JHILLEL CLASSESStarting Monday, October 22ndSelected Topics in Bereshit(Genesis)Symbol and Ritual inJewish LifeElementary YiddishConversational HebrewModern Hebrew LitSelected Topics in Talmud Monday3:00 PMMonday5:00 PMMonday7:30 PMWednesday8:00 PMThursday8:00 PMSaturdaylate afternoon r-PIZZA 1PLATTER1460 E. 53rd!

The five areChristian B. Anfinsen, 1972 Nobelist inchemistry ; Gerald M. Edelman, 1972 winnerin medicine and physiology, ArthurKornberg, 1959 winner in medicine andphysiology, George W. Beadle, 1958 winner inmedicine and physiology, and Robert S.Mulliken, 1966 winner in chemistry.The center is an 11-story structure housingresearch facilities and administrativeofficers for the departments of biochemistry,biophysics and theoretical biology, andmicrobiology. It is located on 58th Street,between Ellis and Drexel.The formal dedication ceremonies willbegin at 3:00 p.m. with an address byKornberg. Ceremonies will be held in atemporary structure just west of AbbottMembrial Hall, 947 E. 58th St. Otherspeakers will include University PresidentEdward Levi, Leon Jacobson, dean of thedivision of the biological sciences and thePritzker School of Medicine, andindustrialist Nathan Cummings, a majordonor to the project.According to the architect, I. W. Colborn,the limestone and red brick construction wasintended to recapture “some of the warmth of the old quadrangle” with its stonebuildings topped with red tile roofs. The redbricks appear in a most interesting form:chimneys.Forty chimneys line the outside of the 11-story building, serving an average of 20 fumehoods on each floor. There are fume hoodconnections every ten feet to allow greatflexibility in lab design antf redesign. Thisflexibility is augmented by there being nosupport columns, the building’s entire wrightbeing supported by its central core and thickexterior walls.The building is now about 75 per centoccupied, as only the 6th and 11th floorsremain incomplete, pending additionalfunds. The 6th floor will be equipped forstudies in developmental biology: part of thefunds will be provided by the NationalCancer Institute.The 11th floor forms a sort of penthouse tothe building and current plans call for alibrary and faculty lounge there. The roof isdirectly accessible from this “penthouse” jand features numerous huge exhaust fansand a spectacular view! The overall 170-footheight of the building, though it wouldimpress nobody in the Loop, makes the ,center the second tallest building on campus(35 feet short of Rockefeller Chapel, ofcourse). Back inside, the Museum of Scienceand Industry is neatly framed by the eastwindows of the center.Nathan Cummings, founder ofConsolidated Foods Corporation, is themajor donor to the project.about the midway £-v* 1CraftsA number of new courses will be offered inthe Hyde Park Neighborhood Club’s fallcraftsmen’s program which begins, with oneexception, the week of Oct. 29.Two sessions of hatha yoga will be taughtSaturdays, beginning Oct. 20.

A fundamental errorwas made when it was said that “...bothsides are regarding politics over people.”For Israel it is not a matter of extending herboundaries, but a matter of survival. Since1947 the Arab countries have not recognizedthe state of Israel. In 1967, they beganmassing soldiers on Israeli borders claimingthat a state of war existed between Israeland the UAR (Egypt). The land they lost wasin a battle that had been started with thedeclared purpose of exterminating Israel. Itwas not a battle Israel had started for landextension purposes of her own. Since then theArabs have not attempted to make areasonable settlement. They insteadterrorize the Israelis and innocent bystan¬ders, as seen from the activities of BlackSeptember and the past Olympic games. TheArabs have followed a course of unmitigatedanti-Semitism and are currently receivingmilitary aid from the Soviet Union, ablatently anti-semitic country. If it is anyoneconsidering politics over people, it is theArab countries who chose to attack on notonly Yom Kippur, a sacred Jewish holiday,but on Ramadan, a Moslem holiday. At thispoint an Arab victory would mean thedissolution of the state of Israel, and theprobably death of 3 million Israelis. It is bydefending themselves and setting up secureborders to prevent future attacks that theIsraelis are insuring that they may continueto exist. The Israelis fight represents a truedesire for survival, not the destruction ofanother people.Rebecca GermanThe other sideWe must strongly protest the Maroon’sprinting of Ted Nash’s article of October 16 -“Israel defends against Arab carnage”.That such a work of propaganda was allowedto appear is a disgrace to the Maroon and theUniversity.To delcare that Israel was defending itselfby its continued occupation of Arab lands isan outright lie. To resist the Arabs’ return tothe Sinai and the Golan Heights is not adefense of the state of Israel, but the defenseof territory acquired by military agression.To imply that the Syrians bombarded Israelicivilian habitations, while Israeli bombersslaughter hundreds of Syrian and Egyptiancivilians, is an even more atrociousfalsehood. And for the Maroon to print thisnonsense amounts to nothing more than freeadvertising for an imperialistic partisancause.This is not to suggest that the Maroonshould refrain from covering the war in theMiddle East, and related universityactivities. An objective article on campusnews related to the crisis would have been amore appropriate use of space. Likewise,there is no reason that the Maroon shouldabstain from expressing opinion. It iscertainly every newspaper’s prerogative todo so in a well argued editorial. But to printsuch a crude and biased piece, on the secondpage, and in the guise of an article, is nomore than an act of irresponsiblejournalism, and an insult to the Universitycommunity.Sincerely yours,John CameronMichael HalberstadtRichard Anderseneditor’s note: Apparently the gentlemendo not understand the meaning of theword “Gadfly”, with which the articlewas clearly labelled. A gadfly is anindependent statement of opinionsubmitted to the Maroon from an out¬side source. These independentstatements are meant to cause con¬troversy. Frankly, we would welcome agadfly from you gentlemen giving theArabs’ side of the story.Nash repliesThe authors of the above letter aremisinformed about much more than what the“Gadfly” column means. Perhaps they havenot yet read the newspapers of the past twoweeks with regard to the new war in the Middle East, so I will attempt to inform themhere of what they have not heard, or chosento ignore.They say that to declare that Israel isdefending herself “is an outright lie”. Theychose not to challenge my statement that theArab attack of Saturday, October 6 wasinitiated through a joint Syrian-Egyptianoffensive. Why? Because they know as wellas I that the Egyptians and Syrians didcommence hostilities at that time. The U.N.cease fire observers are not lying, and theauthors of the letter know that. So theyignore that fact.They say that the Golan and Sinai wereacquired by ‘military aggression”. Theyneglect to say whose “military aggression”,but I suspect they know about Nasser’smoves to expel the U.N. peacekeeping forcein the Sinai in 1967, and his blockade ofinternational shipping in the Straits of Tiran.I assume they also know about the Syrian useof the Golan Heights to shell Israeli towns inthe Galilee region in 1967 and before that.The present Syrian use of long range SovietFrog 7 missiles to achieve the same objectivehas led Israel to push the Syrians furtherback now. Perhaps the authors of the letterconsider that an aggressive act, but I thinkthey’ll have a hard time justifying thisassertion to the readers of the Maroon. TheSyrian shelling of Druze villages in the GolanHeights, such as Majd-al-Shams, is anotherexample of the offensive nature ofDamascus’ strategy.The signees to this letter claim that“Israeli bombers slaughter hundreds ofSyrian and Egyptian civilians.” They did notcite any source for this accusation. They areengaged, at best, in an unfortunatelyperverse form of wishful thinking. It is amatter of record that on October 16,President Sadat of Egypt declared that hewould not hesitate to hit densely populatedIsraeli targets with his home-made “Fajir”missiles. Israel has never gone for civiliantargets with such maniacal gusto as Sadatdisplays. Israel has struck at radar stations,oil depots, air bases and Syrian ports likeTartus and Latakia, where Soviet weaponsare arriving en masse every day.My deepest regret with the above letter isthat its partisanship obscures the universaltragedy of this war. While Leonid Brezhnevsends out encouragement for other Arabstates to join the hostilities, hundreds uponhundreds of Syrian, Israeli and Egyptianbodies pile up in this carnage. The vulturesare having a feast, and even the authors ofthe above letter, with all their polemicalobfuscations, cannot deny that.Ted NashNuclear conferenceYour reporter Mark Spieglan wrote alengthy summary of the Women For PeaceSeminar on Nuclear Energy but missed theessential points. His article was very one¬sided quoting extensively what Mr. Gardinerfrom the Atomic Energy Commission andMr. Downey from Commonwealth EdisonCompany said but gave little space to LeeBotts and the questions raised in theaudience. The impression was left thatnuclear power plants are not too dangerous.One of the questions to Mr. Gardiner wasthat since the Atomic Energy Commissionhad repeatedly lied to the American publicwhy should we believe this agency? That theA.E.C. early in its career assured us thatStrontium 90 from above ground nucleartesting would not hurt us but of course had toabandon its above gound testing. When weconfronted him with the fact that 10 percentof all the test sites in Nevada leaked, it wasat this point that Mr. Gardiner said he toowas against nuclear testing.The threat of massive explosion of anuclear plant which could annhilate wholecities was not dwelled upon as much as themain question which was raised over andover again - what can be done with theradioactive waste which each plantproduces?How can it be transported safely and howcan it be stored safely? Mr. Gardiner said hecould not answer that question. Indeed hecannot for there is no technology at this timeto either store waste adequately or destroythe stockpiles. Telling us that the wastemight be solidified by 1996 is a strange kindof assurance. In the afternoon Mr. Downey ofCommonwealth Edison tried to speak of thevirtues of his company.Someone asked if Commonwealth Edisonwas such a benefactor to all of us, why did itkeep asking for raises?Someone else laughingly said, “What isgood for Commonwealth Edison is good forthe country.”Why then were the American people leftout of the decision making processes and notpresented with alternative sources of energy- such as solar, geothermal, wind, coal, etc.?Why were no plants put in high populationcenters? Downey had to admit there was arisk factor.Lee Botts in rebuttal gave credit to theenvironmentalists who forced Con. Ed. tochange its stand on thermal pollution - tobuild cooling towers, cooling lakes, etc. anddeal with this problem.All nuclear plants leak low level radiationand the heated controversy among scientiststoday is how much low-level radiation canhumans tolerate? How many will die ofcancer and how much genetic damage willoccur?Mr. Botts raised the issue of the highincrease of infant mortality around the plantat Charlevoix, Michigan and though onecannot say with certainty that these deathswere linked directly to the plan, no otherexplanation has been given. Though notmentioned at the meeting, Richard Lewis inhis book “The Nuclear Power Rebellion”brings out an identical situation in Grundyand Kankakee counties around the Dresdenplants in Morris, Illinois.Insurance and the fact that there is onlyliability insurance carried byCommonwealth Edison was talked about. Ifa major accident occurs, what good will $500million do when the loss will be in thebillions?The main point the reporter missed wasthat at the end of the day, a motion waspassed unanimously to support Sen. MikeGravel’s Senate bill 1217 to place amoratorium on all nuclear-fission plants.Women for Peace are dedicated now tocarrying out this policy.Marjorie FerenLegislative SecretaryWomen for PeaceDisappointmentI abhor the silly pride with which I amrepeatedly told that the University ofChicago is not a ’social’ but a serious cam¬pus, and that this seriousness (I may con¬clude) consists of a just devotion to ideas. Inthis, I am, perhaps, being told that there ishere a natural concern for ideas carried tosuch an extent that it incurs the unnaturalconsequence of such an isolated brood of palehumanity as is hard to distinguish from thatwhich plods so easily to and from the steelinfernos immediately to the south of us. Atleast, I am ashamed to acknowledge that theextremes-necessary in the pursuit of in¬fernos or books-are just as blindly andbrutally followed by those that cannot beexpected to know better as by those whoconsider themselves truly enlightened in thename of man. I would expect, with regard tostudents, that the very next stage in thereceiving and nourishing of ideas would betheir proper airing amongst themselves,casually and spontaneously, and to care evento advance them to a point nearest social lifeas is possible. In this the truly enlightenedspirit lies. It is in this, I thought, that acommunity of perceptive and interestingpeople thrives, at least in conceiving,sharing and polishing up through dialogue.But communication does not flourish at theUniversity of Chicago. It is the fugitivewhisper, the escaping hiss of unintendedlaughter, and the cowed approach over titles,clutched deliriously beneath armpits, whichflourishes. It is not surprising, therefore,that where dialogue has failed, monologuehas taken hold, and one can without difficultyspot not less than three or four people talkingvery well to themselves. The reflection doesnot escape me that rather than beenlightened, we groan under the weight ofideas so feverishly pursued. And that theonward course would only be worse andworse in this direction. We would learn tocompletely shun each other except in theartificial classrooms, joined, for a while, inthe worship of ideas. And that these ideasThe Ch carried to some form of fruition in actionwould bear the marks of isolation, morbidityand selfishness which attended theirbeginnings in places such as this University.But all this so easily spurned. I hear a voicecry, “This is the age of specialization, man:to students we are serious students... that isall...” I suppose that I plead then for adoctrine of specialization to stop short of thepoint where we lose the wholesomeenjoyment of our capacities as men, tospeak, feel, laugh, etc., both by ourselvesand along with others, wherein heightened. Iplead for that rather than for a continualdescent into morbidity which justifiespursuits apart from a good life andsometimes, needlessly, at the price of thevery simple things which make the good life.Harinder ShourieIranEver since March 22,1973, when the FBI.arrested four members and supporters of theI.S.A. (Iranian Students’ Association) andnamed two others as defendants forallegedly “assaulting a foreign diplomat” wehave received warm support and assistancefrom thousands of friends throughout theU.S. and overseas. The charges were totallyfabricated to hamper the just anddemocratic activities of the I.S.A. in ex¬posing the dictatorial puppet regime of theShah and the U.S. government’s role inkeeping the regime in power.Being under heavy public pressure, theprosecution submitted to demands of theIranian Students’ Association and droppedthe baseless charge of “assault on a foreigndiplomat” on each of the I.S.A. five. Whilethree of the defendants were set free, twoothers were sentenced, for a petty offense of“intimidating a foreign official”. ParvizShokat was sentenced to six months in jailand $250 fine. The other defendant, KambizGhaemmagham, was sentenced to threeyears probation and $250 fine. The two hadmade it clear in court that their only“crimes” were verbally challenging theIranian consul in the W.A.C. (World AffairsCouncil) meeting - exposing the gravesituation in Iran — refuting the Shah’s publicrelations campaign and informing theAmerican people of the brutal and corruptnature of the regime that the U.S. supportswith arms and tax dollars.From the outset it was clear that themotive behind this prosecution was political.The Iranian regime was seeking to suppressits opposition. The U.S. government, throughthe F.B.I., cooperated in this suppressionbecause of its strategic interests in Iran. Theharsh sentences given to the two defendants,especially the imposition of the maximumpossible jail term upon Parviz Shokat, can bereasonably seen only as cooperating with theIranian government’s aims to disrupt thejust and democratic activities of the I.S.A.We urge everyone to join the I.S.A. andrequest reconsideration of this sentence.Write your letters of request to: HonorableJudge Williams, Federal Building 19 floor,450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco,Calif., 94102.The Iranian Students Associationin the United States (ISAUS)P O Box 4000 FBerkeley, California 94704Harper closingBecause of the formal ceremoniesdedicating the new college complex, HarperLibrary and aH its services will close at 2:30p.m. on Wednesday, October 24th andremain closed all day on Thursday, October25th.

He (Ford) represents completely the reactionarypolicies that have gotten the country in trouble."By Mike McMahonA survey of campus reaction to PresidentNixon’s nomination of Rep. Gerald Ford ofMichigan to replace former Vice-PresidentAgnew failed to uncover any great interestamong campus and Hyde Park residents.The typical reaction was similar to that ofmost people in Congress and throughout thecountry since Friday’s announcement: thatit was a safe, expedient move, and unlikely togenerate substantial adverse opinion.The most common reaction was from atransfer student from Chicago: “I guess itwas a pretty good move. He won’t have anytrouble getting through Congress, which isthe most important thing.” To this point thereaction could have come from anywhere inAmerica, including Washington. He addedthough, ‘‘But I really don’t know what dif¬ference it makes, unless Nixon gets killed orsomething.” When questioned whether hewould trust Ford in the Presidency in thatevent, the student replied, ‘‘Well, put it thisway, I don’t know who I would trust asPresident. But we’ve been faced with Spirofor five years so anything’s an im¬provement.”Professor of law Stanley Katz: ‘‘I think itwas a safe choice. Besides that what can yousay? He looks like one Congress will passparticularly because he’s a man who passesas a candidate for 1976. It leaves me a bitcold.”Fifth ward alderman Leon Despres: ‘‘If Iwere a Senator or Congressman I would mostcertainly vote against his confirmationbecause he represents completely thereactionary policies that have gotten thecountry in trouble. Now I fear that as amatter of courtesy he’ll be confirmed. This isa marvelous opportunity to turn around thedirection of this country . . . it’s his (Ford’s)social and political views, not personalreasons.” Mr. Despres cited Ford’s move to impeachSupreme Court Justice Douglas as an at¬tempt to run Nixon men into the SupremeCourt, and his embarassingly consistent support of Nixonian policies as evidence thatthere will be no turn around in this ad¬ministration through Ford’s confirmation.This response to Agnew, who resigned last Wednesday under intense pressure due tocriminal investigations into his political andpara-political career, was common. ‘‘As longas Spiro’s out, I don’t care who’s got the job,”said one Woodward Court freshman. “Whybe choosy when you’re replacing a criminaland his ass is still running free?” “Whatdifference does it make?” laughed another.“Nixon wants yes-men and he gets them.”A student at large in fine arts elaboratedon the latter viewpoint. “Agnew’s job was tosay the things Nixon would have liked to say.He attacked the student radicals, the press,the deserters.” Observing that one criterionfor the position was, naturally, a basicagreement with Nixon’s foreign and defensepolicies, he continued, “I expect Ford to bejust more of the same -- only hopefully not asobnoxious and deceitful.”Most people interviewed had not seenFriday night’s ceremony. Those who hadwere inclined to be a bit more loquacious. “Ithought it was a blasphemous,” remarked ahistory major from Philadelphia, referringto the ritual of introduction preceding thePresident’s speech. A political science majorwas distracted enough by this remark toecho the sentiment, with reservations. “Itwas sort of a meaningless maneuver, afterall. It had to be done with as little difficultyas possible. It means Nixon’s got enoughtrouble on his mind already; and it showswhat he’s looking for in the Vice-Presidency.”Not one of the few dozen people questionedconsidered Ford’s nomination to be of“crucial importance,” although severalthought Agnew’s resignation was of vitalsignificance and almost as many would haveconsidered it important had specified otherindividuals been nominated, especially JohnConnally, former Democrat and TexasGovernor who served as Secretary of theTreasury and then as special advisor to thePresident until last year.New evidence for Frederika - maybeBy Joel JafferNew evidence may change the course ofFrederika Blankner’s six year old courtbattle. Last Friday, on the basis of thisevidence, Blankner’s attorneys filed asecond motion for an injunction.The motion prevents the demolition ofBlankner’s condemned building, pending theappeal of the original case in the U.S. Courtof Appeal’s.“When the court ruled against the in-The city plans to begin construction nextyear on two pedestrian malls, one at 61stPlace between Dorchester and Blackstone,near the Carnegie school, and another on62nd Street between Drexel and Ellis.Facilities will include benches for theelderly, permanent game tables for chessand checkers, and playing equipment forchildren.Construction at both sites will begin duringthe spring of ’74, and is expected to befinished by midsummer, although somelandscaping and planting will be done in thefall. The Chicago Development and PlanningDepartment estimates the cost for both sitesat between $200 thousand and $250 thousand.They also report that street right-of-wayswill be used and that no private land will beneeded for construction.Welden Beverly, principal of the AndrewCarnegie School, feels that the park on 61stPlace will be useful to the school children.Beverly said that students will have accessto the park and that “representatives of theschool met with the planners and were ableto make some modifications and changes.”The City Planning Commission designedthe sites and handled most of the planning.The police assured the commission that they junction the first time, they were unawarethat 13 other buildings, owned by theUniversity of Chicago, declard in the samecondition as Blankner’s are still standing,”stated David Kriesman, one of Blankner’sattorneys. “In fact,” he continued, “three ofthem are on the same block as the Con¬stitution House.”Kriesman sees this new evidence as clearproof that the government used false in¬formation to insure that the building wouldget torn down.could provide sufficient protection at thesites and that the parks would not impairpatrol routes.Money for this project is coming from aModel Cities grant. An official of the ModelCities Planning Division emphasized that theneed for and planning of the project wascommunity inspired. The Department ofDevelopment and Planning made the initialdesigns and federal modifications wereadded. The community had opportunities toreview the plans; they made furtherchanges. The Model Cities official also saidthat local hearings were held and that “anycommunity member directly involved had tosign a letter approving the plans beforeconstruction begins.”Federal funding doesn’t seem to haveimposed many restrictions on planning. Asone government planner put it, “there wasno federal initiative at all.” He also em¬phasized that the community still can reviewand modify present plans. The officials atModel Cities were vehement in their wish toavoid even the appearance of imposingstrings on the community, suggesting thatperhaps the rest of the federal governmentcan learn something from the Model Citiesprogram. The government told us way back that wewere the only house in the way of progressthat refused to obey the order. This is false,because the 13 other buildings owned by theUniversity have not only not been torn down,but are housing tenants!“This is a clear violation of sovereignrights,” he continued. “The staggering thingis, however, that the total mis-appropriatedfor this whole area, and the 13 University-owned buildings in particular, adds up to agovernment misuse of $49 million.”Even if the injunction wins, Frederika andher lawyers must face the case now pendingin the United States Seventh District Court ofAppeals. Kriesman also commented aboutthis case charging the city of Chicago, thestate of Illinois, the University, the depart¬ment of urban renewal (D.U.R.) and thedepartment of housing and urban develop¬ment (H.U.D.) with fraud and conspiracycharges.“The case is based on the fact that almostanywhere between 53rd and 67th streetscould be declared slum and blighted, sincethe D.U.R. code for each area is done ar¬bitrarily and for each area individually.However, the University put out money forthese and thus made it profitable for the cityto choose the houses on the “south campus”to be torn down!In fact, when the HUD man came to Mrs.Blankner, he told her (and signed an af-fadavit) that the house was fine, but it wasjust the rest of the area that had to go. It wasa little bit like the situation of each differentteenager telling his parents that everyoneelse’s parents said it is O.K. to have a sleepover, but actually no one had agreed to it.The whole urban renewal program in thismanner is too arbitrary and too much openfor corruption. We will just have to make it amore meaningful hearing.”Julian Levi, head of the Southeast ChicagoCommission and proponent of the Universityand city cause, responded to these claims byBlankner. He flatly refutes that, “no buildingin that area in the period of time discussed owned by the University has ever beendeclared slum or blighted. The claim madeby Mrs. Blankner is not true and never hasbeen true. The only way she could havegotten this claim was to make up an outrightlie.”Maps printed by D.U.R. showd that everyresidential building in the block bounded byWoodlawn, Kimbark, 60th, and 61st streetswas designated to be demolished. TheUniversity of Chicago Record of June 5,1972states that three buildings on this block areowned by the University, one of which is usedfor faculty housing.Mr. Levi, when asked why, if indeed true,the University would deal for the land inquestion, replied, “For regular Universityexpansion.”Expansion plans, clarified in theUniversity’s and city’s legal briefs, includeparking lots and other services forUniversity buildings in the area.“The clearing out of people from theirhomes for the purpose of private interprise isthe same type of misuse of governmentalpower as we have found in the Watergate andI.T.T. issues today,” claims Mrs. Blankner.“Urban renewal is for public benefit, for alibrary or another purpose. It is high timesomeone stands up to these conspiracies thatoperate above the law.”This crusader attitude was also evident inKriesman’s reasoning. “The decision of slumor blighted buildings should be left to thecourts and not commisions, who should notbe given a hand in subjective standards.Many times many people will give in andtake the money instead of going to court.Then, when someone wants to argue abouthow clean the neighborhood is, 99 out of 100buildings have already been torn down.“Cities also wait a considerable amount oftime before telling the people about thecondition of their houses, so many startabout five years too late,” he continued. “Theurban renewal program has long beenrecognized as fraudulant and inefficient. Wehave to make this a more meaningfulhearing.”Construction to begin soonon malls in Woodlawn8- The Chicago Maroon - Friday, October 19, 1973Econ prof Demsetz opens ad lecturesBy David Ryan“Advertising and the Affluent Society’’was the opening topic of this year’s businessschool lecture series on “Advertising andSociety.” Mr. Harold Demsetz, professor ofeconomics at Northwestern University,directed his discourse against what hetermed the “intellectual’s” view ofadvertising as embodied in John KennethGalbraith’s book, “The New IndustrialState.” Demsetz, a former professor ofbusiness here, holds a Ph.D., M.B.A. andM.A. in economics.He began by creating an analogy betweenadvertising and the academic lecture: “Thecharge (by intellectuals) that advertisingattempts to persuade buyers surely is true;that it offers a biased view of the product istrue to an appreciable extent, although theextent is limited by antifraud laws if not bycommon sense and intelligent businesspractice. These aspects of advertising — biasand intended persuasion — are true also ofmuch communication, including manyacademic lectures. However, professorialpromotoers have available to them theprotection which can be marshalled underthe rubric of academic freedom.”He illustrated the parallel bydemonstrating the extent to which Galbraithwas influenced by his teacher ThorsteinVeblen. “Neither (the lecture or theadvertisement) can compel completeacceptance. Both men start with what seemto be identical views of the modern industrialsystem. Veblen, however, was optimisticabout the new imperative of modern technology. The coming change in control,with the center of power moving from thecapitalists to the engineers, was viewed withapproval by him. Since the technologistswere not motivated by profits, they could beexpected to expand output beyond the levelsdetermined by capitalists, who, in Veblen’sview, would have created artificial scarcityin their attempt to increase profits. ForGalbraith also, the technostructure ismotivated by non-profit considerations thatencourage management to expand output.But for him, the result is a wastefuloverproduction of goods produced in theprivate sector.” Thus the distinction betweenpersuasion and acceptance with regard toteacher and student.Demsetz went on to maintain that becausethe intellectuals can have no argumentagainst the persuasive and biased elementsin advertising as they themselves practice it(as in the lecture, “under the cloak ofdisinterestedness”) their objections havelittle to do with the taste or distortions thatmay be contained in advertisements butrather with what is advertised. “(They)oppose advertising because they believe thatit promotes a wasteful and misdirected lifestyle. The large corporation of the newindustrial state succeeds in persuading itscustomers to buy what it produces, and itconvinces legislators to adopt corporategoals as national policy. Genteel leisure, thesophisticated arts, and the refined aestheticlife are neglected.”Galbraith’s main theme, Demsetzcontinued, that modern technology yields toomuch private output and too little publicDON McLEAN output, is far too speculative and subjectiveto allow for testing on empirical grounds.However, once he had qualified Galbraith’sclaim that the industrialized sector of theeconomy is the stronghold of atechnostructure that is successful inpersuading society to purchase its output andnot other goods and services, by saying that,“...we would then expect to find that theindustrial sector of the economy produces anever INCREASING that the share of nationalincome produced by these industriesactually decreased from 1960 to 1970.”Moving on to Galbraith’s assertion thattechnostructurally oriented firms in the newindustrial state realize rapid growth rates asmeasured in sales mainly through theintensity with which they advertise, Demsetzdrew on a recent study of his own whichshowed that firms that ranked high inadvertising intensity ranked low in salesgains relative to profit.“The productivity of specialization has allowed us to indulge in the arts, in travel,and in leisure time activities. But these arethe same goals sought by Galbraith, and theyhave been channeled into advertising andother means of mass communication.”Demsetz went on to say that, “Critisism ofadvertising seems to center on two notions —that commodities possess intrinsic value andthat persuasion through advertising isundesirable if not unethical.”These notions are hard to justify,according to him, because virtually all of ourwants are learned and we are persuaded tomost of the wants we hold. Therefore, werely on those around us, in this case thesalesman, to persuade us from one want ortaste to another.“The salesman”, he stated, “whoconvinces you that his wares are best for youhas saved you the cost of further shoppingand has saved society the cost of foregoingspecialized production.”IN CONCERTSaturday Night 8:00 PMLimited Number of Tickets at The Door$275 $375with U.C.

There is apromise of $330,000 for the following threeyears to add up to a total grant package ofnearly $1.75 million. The grant comes fromthe U.S. Public Health Service.Dr. James E. Bowman, a professor in thedepartment of pathology and medicine, hasbeen appointed the Center’s director.The Center’s activities will include com¬munity programs, research, training andpossibly an exchange of hemoglobin expertswith Africa and the Middle East.The Mid-Southside Health PlanningOrganization will run the communitycomponent of the Center. They are planningworkshops, seminars and counseling forindividuals and families. Last year, Mid-Southside conducted an extensive programof workshops and testing. 1,340 persons weretested and 92 workshops were held in publicand private schools and for churches and community groups.This year, under the auspices of theCenter, they will conduct a follow-up of lastyear’s work to assess the effects of thetesting. Sickle-cell testing has been the causeof some alarm in some black communities.The cause of the alarm is that individualstested often confuse their having the sicklecell trait with having the disease. Blacks areoften discriminated against, says Bowman,by insurance companies because of theresults of sickle-cell testing.The Mid-Southside Organization says thata moratorium on such testing is in effectuntil its effects on the tested individuals havebeen assessed.According to Bowman, 50 to 60,000 peoplein the United States have sickle cell anemia.Roughly 10 percent of the black population inthe U.S. has the sickle trait which means thatthey are possibly carriers of sickle cellanemia. Bowman estimates that, out of the325,000 blacks living in the Mid-Southsidearea, five to six hundred are afflicted with the disease.An educational exhibit on sickle cell isbeing planned for the Medical Hall of theMuseum of Science and Industry. Dr. Ed¬ward D. Garber, professor in the departmentof biology, is developing a Human Geneticscurrimulum for high school students whichwill, Garber asserts, “not emphasize butinclude the sickle cell.” Bowman added,“The most important feature of the programis education.”Bowman will direct several research ef¬forts dealing with the reasons why somesickle cell anemia victims live better andlonger than others with blood cell abnor¬malities and other blood disorders.Another project of the Center will be atraining program involving students in all levels of the Center’s work. Students, bothgraduate and undergraduate, will have theopportunity to work in die lab or in thecommunity. Bowman is also interested insetting up an exchange which could bringsickle cell experts from Africa and theMiddle East to U.C. to share information.John D. Madden, an associate professor inthe department of pediatrics and medicaldirector of the Woodlawn Child Health CareCenter has been named deputy director ofthe sickle-cell Center. Bruce Mims, who willhead the community component, is thedirector of the Mid-Southside Health Plan¬ning Organization.This center is one of fifteen in the countrymade possible by grants from the NationalHeart and Lung Institute of the U.S. PublicHealth Service.UC charter flight programis again ready to take off“Well, it looks like we’re back in the airagain” said Leslie Linton, director of the UCCharter Flight Program. “Last spring wewere told by the CAB that beginning thisOctober they would no longer approve af¬finity flights. That meant we would be forcedto close down the program, and we could onlyhope that commercial prices would comedown low enough so that students and staffcould still afford trans-atlantic flights. Thenthis summer the CAB reversed themselves.As we now understand it, we can continue torun affinity flights for at least another year.”Due to the confusion, were there anyChristmastime flights planned? Miss Lintonsmiled, “Things look very good right now”,she said. “Until this week, the onlypossibility we had was a flight to Londoncosting $300.00 We vetoed that as being tooexpensive. We have now confirmed a flightwith Alitalia, the Italian national airlines, fora charter from Chicago to London and Rome.This would work out both for those peoplewho wished to go to London and those goingfurther on the continent. The return trip, ofcourse, would originate in Rome and theywill pick up in London before returning toChicago.”“This may sound strange,” she added.“butthe round trip fare to either London or Romewould be about $230.00. That compares veryfavorably with a $300.00 economy rate toLondon and a $377.00 rate to Rome. Ac¬ cording to our present plan, the flight woulddepart the first day of interim, December 15,and will return on January 4th, three daysbefore the beginning of the quarter. Theservice will be first class; with unlimiteddrinks and superb food..”The trip to London at Christmas is simplythe most recent of the flights organized bythe charter flight program, which dates backperhaps 15 years. Over those years,thousands of faculty and staff have takenadvantage of the flights, which have usuallycombined fine service with very modestprices. According to Miss Linton theprogram has changed substantially as timehas gone on. “Perhaps five years ago,” shesaid, “most of our flights were held in thesummer, and the most popular flight by farwas one lasting eleven weeks. We always hadgreat difficulty, in fact, filling the shortflights, like that held in September.Now,however, perhaps because of the dollardevaluation and the rising prices abroad, ourmost popular flights are those which arevery short. I am hopeful that the com¬bination of the three-week interim and aflight offering the option of going either toLondon or Rome will be a popular one.” sheadded.If you are interested in information onCharter Flight program, you might stop bythe Charter Flight Office in room 306 of IdaNoyes Hall some afternoon between 2 and 7p.m. or give Miss Linton a call at 753-3598."FUNNY AND MARVELOUS.I recommend this picture highly to everyone ”-Archer Winsten, New York Post“One of the happier sights of the season.

As we approachedthe door to 700-B, a classroom at theUniversity’s downtown center, our nameswere checked against the list of studentsregistered for Roger Ebert’s film class,“Classics and Commercials”, which wasabout to take place within. We were not onthe list. Six-thirty was fast approaching andthe room was filling up, so we dutifullytrundled downstaris to harangue theRegistrar’s uptown representative intogiving us a pass. The magic words “ChicagoMaroon” opened yet another sealed door(ah, sweet privilege), and we scurried up thestairs, dove into the last remaining emptyseats, and assumed a carefully rehearsedpose of serene dignity, appropriate to therepresentatives of a distinguished journal. Ahush fell over the crowd, and Roger Ebertmajestically strolled toward the podium.He leaned on the lectern for a while,looking surprisingly like his mug shot in theSun Times, obviously having had a hard dayof it. After shuffling through his papers, headdressed the class, filling the time untilBridges appeared. He wanted to know howmany of his students had seen The PaperChase at a screening he had arranged, andplayed at being shocked at the low tur¬nout—“I take this as a personal affront!”.He passed a few instructions to thecrowd—not to ask Bridges about theplot—and joked about another screening hehad once set up for his class, SidelongGlances of a Pigeon Kicker, which had beena disaster aestheticly as well asdemographicaly.The class seemed fairly unexcited aboutthe imminent arrival of the director of a filmwhich had been, and will be getting a lot ofattention. Maybe their regular meetings withEbert had given them a blase attitude; inany case, they bided their time with aminimum of apprehensiveness. Mostlywomen, between 25 and 40, a few familiarstudent faces, some sharp-looking men insuits—mainly the North Shore crowd stayingin the Loop after work for a quick dinner anda little culture.Bridges managed to sneak into the back ofthe room almost unnoticed, but a quick eyepicked him up. He came up to the podium,and started by giveing Ebert a rough minuteby saying that he had heard him talkingabout the bad reception some film hadreceived from his class. Well, of course,Ebert didn’t want to be embarrassed by thefact that only 1/ 3 of his class had seenBridges’ film, and he was just a little edgyuntil it became clear that Bridges had onlyheard the tail end of the Pigeon Kickeranecdote.Things settled well into a relaxed format.Bridges was at ease, having spoken aboutThe Paper Chase once or twice before on hispromotional tour, and Ebert had seen enough“Film Odyssey” to know what to do. Shed¬ding his jacket and tie, and managing to 7 /j J/Jlassume an-appaione of the Uni\backed chairs,likable. His facefirst I thought it'he had made as>aQ acfc<£. birtJJridges la ten-confessed that his largest vole had/beeiHnInvasion of the Sauced M^rwhioh-thg^tudhfbiography had glossed over. No, his face wasfamiliar because it was that kind of face,slightly used, tending toward a middle agedjowliness, a trace of bleariness in his eyesthat spoke of long nights slumped over aMovieola—you wanted to shake hands withit.Bridges left a small town in Arkansas forthe land of opportunity, Hollywood, USA.Opportunity having been temporarily onvacation, Bridges began as an actor. “Thebest directors are the ones who really knowthe actor’s problems, so starting out as anactor made some kind of sense to me.” Hebegan to write, and became involved with theTheater Group at UCLA, making his firstcontact with John Houseman, the well-knownproducer who makes his acting eebut in ThePaper Chase as the God-like ProfessorKingsley.Houseman was one of the original partnersin *Orson Welles’ Mercury Theater, untilWelles’ got rid of him by tossing a now-famous can of sterno in his direction.Houseman got Bridges a job writing forAlfred Hitchcock’s TV show, where he didabout eighteen scripts in a couple of years:“Working with Hitchcock was one of the bestexperiences in my life. He really taught mehow to write for the screen.” His first filmscript was for Sidney Furie’s The Appaloosa,which Marlon Brando turned into a fairlyponderous allegorical excercise: “It wasn’ta particularly good picture, but working withMarlon was an experience. An actorshouldn’t have as much power as Brando did.He wasn’t a very intelligent man, but he wasvery talented. I don’t like working with stars,they’re too big for their own good, so they getto think that they’re more important thanthey really are. They like to run things. I gota call from Warren Beatty the other day,after he had seen Paper Chase, and hewanted to make a picture with me. I toldhim, ‘No, Warren, forget it.’ I’ve got enoughtrouble making a film by myself, I don’t needanybody else to help me screw things up.”Bridges continued to write scripts anddirect plays until he decided he was ready todirect his first feature. “I wrote the script ofThe Baby Maker in about three weeks andtook off for England to direct a play at theEdinburgh Festival. Robert Wise read thescript and wanted to give me the chance tomake it. The Baby Maker came out prettywell, even though the studio took it awayfrom me and completely messed up theending. That’s the kind of stuff you’ve alwaysgot to deal with in this business. After thefilm came out, I was sent about thirty orforty scripts, and I didn’t want to any ofthem. I didn’t want to make movies abouthippies, roller derbies, or any of that. I spentmy time working with a little theater groupin Los Angeles and working on some 16mmfilms in my basement. I wrote a few scripts Iwanted to make but I couldn’t get any ofthem off the ground.“Finally, The Paper Chase came alongand I liked it, I wanted to work with Timothy Bottoms after seeing him in theBogdanovich picture, and I liked theproducers. Both of them looked likecharacters in the novel. One of them, RodPaul, was only twenty and the other, BobThompson, used to say he was twenty-fivebut he was really about thirty-two. Therythym *•' fhe book was good, and I liked thepaper metaphor, and especially therelationship between the professor and theboy. The author, John Osborn, !,ad been atHarvard Law, and I went there and sat in onclasses and things, trying to get the feel ofthe place and make it personal for me.Osborn stayed around for the major castingand worked as the technical advisor.“Casting the picture wasn’t too hard.Bottoms was the natural choice for the lead.He’s a wonderful film actor. Like Garbo, youcan photograph what he’s thinking. Thestudio wanted Paul Scofield for Kingsley.They sent him the script and he turned itdown; the part wasn’t big enough for him.He’s a star, anyway. I wanted JamesCagney, and everybody told me I was crazy,that he wouldn’t come out of retirement foranything. I still thought he might do it, but Icouldn’t get in touch with him, nobodyseemed to know where he was. So one night Iwas in New York, at some bar, and I ran intoone of Cagney’s friends. He was gettingdrunk, and I was pretty loaded myself, so Itold him the story and how much I wantedCagney for it. He said it might be the kind ofthing that he was waiting for and gave meCagney’s address. I sent him the script, anda few weeks later it came back, unopened,with a little note that said, ‘Whoever gaveyou my address must have been drunk; I’vequit.’, and that was the end of that.Houseman had been helping us cast thepicture with some of his UCLA people, andsuddenly it occurred to me. He was theKingsley in my life, and although he hadnever acted before, he looked perfect for thepart. The studio didn’t want him, theywanted somebody with a name in the part,but I went ahead and made a test and thatTimothy Bottoms and Lindsay Wagner haHPaper Chase. convinced them. His presence on the screenis so powerful. Actually, he’s been acting foryears, it’s just never been photographed.“I waited to cast the girl until I cast theprofessor, her father, so I could get somephysical resemblance. Lindsay Wagner feltright. She was under contract to Universal,where she’d made a picture with RobertWise, Two People, which I hadn’t seen,which was just as well since I probablywouldn’t have used her if I had seen it. AtUniversal, they still believe in all thatnonsense about the star system, limousinesand decorated dressing rooms, all that stuff.The first day she showed up on the set shelooked like Minnie Mouse, covered withmake-up, and with this elaborate hair-do. Iran up to her and asked her who did it, if itwas the make-up man I was going to fire himon the spot. She said she’d done it herself, so Isent her back to clean it up. After that shewas just wonderful, a very nice person. Sheand Timmy hated each other from thestart.”Bridges’ concern with actors, especiallywith the supporting cast (“The smaller thepart, the broader the stroke”) is a big factorin the film’s success, but it’s his concern withthe formal elements of direction that standsout most. His tightly controlled and carefullyplanned shooting style sets him apart fromthe zoom-happy morons who dominateAmerican filmmaking today. He mentionedhis experiences with Hitchcock, Cukor, andRenoir with awe, and, obviously, he’dlearned a lot from them. His use of thePanavision format is the best I’ve seen sinceCukor’s Travels With My Aunt. Using thewide screen is an art in itself.“The studio couldn’t understand why Iwanted to use Panavision. It’s a small film,with no landscapes. I needed it to bring outthe feeling of the arena in the classroom andthe stadium, which is the most importantconcept in the film, and also to preserve the(continued on page 2)each other during the making of The(continued from page 1),J* fintegrity of the six figures in the study groupscenes. I didn’t want to mess up the at¬mosphere with a lot of cross cutting, whichwould go completely against the grain ofwhat those scenes were about. I like to usethe visually organized approach. I likeBertoluccki’s visual style very much. It’slike a melody played by the camera, what hedoes. Myself, I’m more analytical.Kingsfield became the God-figure, and I like.to deal in symbols, to deal with more thanjust the superficial of plot and dialogue, so Ifound ways to keep him dominant in theframe. I used deep focus, with Kingsfield inthe foreground, and kept Timmy in thebackground, among the crowd of students,where I could pick him out when I wanted to.I kept Kingsfield on the left of the frame andTimmy on the right, so Kingsfield wouldcome first when the audience read the framehorizontally, which is what I composed for.Then I could break that pattern when Lneeded the emphasis.“Over the course of the film, Timmy sort,of moves into the foreground, and I don’t'emphasize the low angle shots of Kingsfieldthat I used in the beginning. So when, in their-last scene, they meet in the elevator after the-final exam, I’m shooting them both on thesame plane. They’ve both got equal im¬portance in the frame because now Timmy :feels confident with him. When Kingsfieldputs him off by pretending not to know his^name, I slam Timmy right back into longshot, the shot of least power. Every framehas to deal with the amount of informationyou’re giving the audience.”Bridges asked the class for their com¬ments on his film. One lady ventured, “Ithought the girl was prettier than CandiceBergen”, and Ebert dismissed the class for acoffee break. He was showing JeanNegulesco’s The Mask of Dimitrios, forreasons never satisfactorily explained, andhe wanted to get on with it. We shared anelevator with Bridges on his way out, and hetold us he had another appearance to makethat night, at a college in the middle ofWisconsin. We expressed our condolences,and as Jim Bridges struck out for O’Hare, weshuffled on back to the IC station. By AARON LIPSTADTThe ads for James Bridges’ The PaperChase like to compare it to Love Story andThe Last Picture Show. They claim it’sbecause these films all appeal to youngpeople; we know that they wouldn’t mindsome comparable box-office returns as well.And there are some obvious comparisons tobe made: Timothy Bottoms, star of The LastPicture Show, also stars here, and like LoveStore, The Paper Chase concerns a Harvardlaw student.But while the latter comparison may seemmore relevant to what the film is about, it isthe former that contributes more to the ef¬fectiveness of the film. Langdell Hall may beftbarly a^familiar by now as Cobb, butBridges Wants more than just a back-drop-^ftis film is about law school, andHarvard in particular. Harvard is seenthrough the eyes of Hart (Bottoms), a mid-wfcstefner gone east. As played by Bottoms,Hart is no rich jock breezing his way throughwith a hatd-working (but dying) wife. He is aconfused, sincere person who arouses ourinterest, sympathy, and maybe even un¬derstanding.The law School experience is revealedthrough the course of Hart’s first year, in hisContracts class. The students file in to theamphitheater and surround ProfessorKingsfield in the semicircle of seats. Fromthe seating chart he picks Hart’s face andimmediately humiliates him to the point ofnausea. Kingsfield’s power is unlimited, hispresence is everywhere. From studying,from swimming, from lovemaking, wealways come back to Kingsfield, his head incloseup, pacing the front of the hall, orleaning on the lectern with his seating chartclose at hand. And Opposite Kingsfield,gradually becoming more prominent in theirrelationship, is Hart. First shamed, thensilent, finally aggressive, Hart’s whole yearbecomes a battle with Kingsfield, trying tounderstand him, to enter him, and finally, to accept Kingsfield on Hart’s terms.The conflict between Hart and Kingsfielddominates the film, but competition amongthe students is also very important. As theclassroom is a stadium, the battle is not onlybetween the old and the young, but alsoamong the young. Hart’s relation to hisclassmates, as well as to the rest of lawschool, is filled in in the study group he joins.The group is led by Ford (Graham Beckel),this picture’s Harvard-bred rich kid (andmuch more convincing than Oliver Barret).We see them through a leaded glass door,sitting in a dim, panelled conference room,oozing with promise of future power. Andaround this table meet these futureleaders—domineering, organized,bewildered, or scared—and we can clearlysee, just from these meetings, what pushesthem, and what stops them.Finally, Bridges looks at ^lart in a thirdn' a woman he meetstfar ‘ J"fttrtti&tootte-'aHBFimher, but it’s clear‘ttodatS.tind'tAMHHim. * ' R ’ _ in S|qwly In hisIfetd; hhd in the study>V.;'with Susan.

His eventual discoverythat she is Kingsfield’s daughter changes hisoutlook, first in obvious ways. Finally hisrelationships with father and daughter, andtheir interplay, lead him to a better un¬derstanding of himself and the two of them.What’s so effective about this film is that itsticks to these three narrow frameworkswith which to view Hart, and does so suc¬cessfully. Hart’s development is real, hishopes and his vulnerability are apparent.But we don’t just see Hart, we see the wholeposition that he’s in at Harvard, that they’re all in. Hart’s confrontations with Kingsfield’ssocratic method explain a great deal aboutthe pattern of education he’s subjected to;the pressures and breakup of the study groupare enough to allow us, to force us to un¬derstand the crisis that each individual goesthrough.A lot of the credit has to go to the acting.Bottoms plays Hart a little too naive, but hereally seems to be what he’s supposed to be.He dressed right, carries his books right,walks out of class right. The other charactersplay limited roles well; the key is that we seethem in only a few situations where theyshould be, and their presence in thesesituations fits together to create feelings andunderstanding without adding much thatisn’t necessary.Unfortunately, like the people he’s filming,Bridges too is under pressure, becausetension, competition, and confrontationalone don’t make a successful comedy—atleast, not in some eyes. For Bridges strays abit from the believable depiction of Harvardto get some laughs, and while he ac¬complishes that, he adds the least com¬fortable moments of the film. As the drivetowards final exams progresses, an in¬creasing amount of comic relief is thrown in:Hart and Ford flee the dorm for a hotel sothey can study peacefully, and the managergets unbelievably excited by the fact thatthey refuse maid service and remain lockedin for three days. Even more irritating is thetransformation of Bell, a student in the studygroup, from a somewhat understandablecompetitor to a ridiculous villain.The Paper Chase does best when it stays onits own ground—looking at life, at com¬petition at Harvard, at giving a real feelingof what the place is like for Hart. Advertisingcopy that compares it to Summer of ’42 andLove Story demeans it in an attempt to attractan audience; unreal dramatics and un¬necessary comedy demean it in an attemptto keep that audience.3 MtflJTDS, t Mrs• WAIKIKI BEACH • MAUI • HILO, HAWAII"ALL SERVICE TRIP”Make this glorious trip leisurely or tourpacked as you like!

Someonestretched his head out over a stein of beerand said, “You know that seminar down atLoop college on ‘Literature of the Seventies?’Well, they offered a reading to Bill Knott andhe told them, ‘What do you want me for? I’ma poet of the sixties!!’ ”Bill Knott (or Saint Geraud, depending onthe poem) is a Chicago poet who createdseveral schools of poetry to describe his ownworks. He is a pioneer thrashing throughvisionary jungles. His first school wascreated in the late sixties as a reaction to therealization that there is no money in goodpoetry until after the poet dies. Bill Knottcreated “posthumous poetry” a-»d wrotepoems as if he had already died.“But I gave it up, it was tooBoring and reminded me of a woman I metonceScreeching love”...(From: “The Theory of PosthumousPoetry”)Giving up posthumous poetry led Bill Knottto found the school he called “limpism.”Which, from the conservations in the Baron, is best summed up with the image of a lilly oncrutches. The next step from “limpism” wasthe development of the school of Aurealism,a complex philosophy of creation. It is based,more or less, on an attitude toward life of,“Oh. Really?”“There are,” explained Bill Knott at hisBody Politic reading, “also the letters A andU at the beginning of the word Aurealism,which when put together form the chemist’ssymbol for gold.” Golden realism? With BillKnott, one can never tell for sure. His poemsare so musical that they seem despairing andmelancholic, and they’re so outrageous inscope and concept that they become works ofgenius.Bill Knott is the first of a series ofcontemporary writers who will give readingsat the University of Chicago during theacademic year. The readings are organizedby the Chicago Review Speakers Series andproduced with the hojp . p£ tte WilliamVaughn Moody Fvmd and the Rov.^UmanMemorial Fund. The purpose of therms jsto present some writers of contemporaryprose and poetry, free of charge, to theUniversity wmmmftjy,^b >**But, “who wants to listen to contemporarypoetry?” is a question pops ffpfrequently at the Baron. “I certainly dorirtknow why anyone would want to listen,” saidone younger Chicago poet, “it is about asinteresting as your own metabolism.”“Metabolism? What is metabolism?” Iprodded.“It’s the general faith that we’ll all do itagain real soon,” he said. “Some call it,simply, a movement.”Poetry, whether it be “aurealist” or“metabolist” is a serious art, and mostcontemporary poets are as yet unrecognizedfor their true impact on the art. Chicagopoets have been especially ignored. Most areas yet only published in very limited editions,sometimes by mimeograph with a saddlebinding, or they appear in the quarterlieslike, “The Milk Quarterly,” or “Out There,”or the more established have a few piecesthat appear in the “Chicago Review,” or“Paris Review.”Contemporary poets have their symbols ofmartyrdom - holes in shoesoles, smokingbuts out of ashtrays, steady diets of beansand beer. They have their politicians - theeditors of the many little magazinesscrambling for survival in today’sfloundering poetry market. They have theirdemons - the New York publishers,corporations which control the trade. Andthankfully, there are the benevolentinstitutions - colleges and universities whichsupply money for readings or stints as poets-in-residence.The six writers to give readings at theUniversity of Chicago will each represent avery different character and trend incontemporary writing. Bill Knott is the firstof the series, to appear Thursday, October31st, at 8 PM in the renovated HarperMemorial room 130, a small lecture hall. Theother readings in the series will be given onTuesdays, November 13th, January 15th,February 12th, April 9th and May 21st, andwill be held in the Reynolds Club Theatre.After each reading, the poet and hopefullyOrawin^tby DAN ABRAHAM the audience will move to the apartment ofKenneth Northcott, the resident master ofPierce Tower, for drinks and conversation.Other writers to read in the series are,Tom Clark, author of five books of poetryincluding “Air” and Smack, and who iscurrently the poetry editor of the “ParisReview”, Eugene Wildman, theexperimental prose writer and former editorof the “Chicago Review,” author ofMontezuma’s Ball and Nuclear Love, and thepoet Tom Raworth, co-founder of theTrigram Press in Great Britain, author ofmany books of poems including Lion Lionand a book of prose, A Serial Biography.There are many contemporary writersfounding new schools, creating new styles,testing our limits of comprehension andattitude. Chicago has its segment, somecongregating at the “Red Baron” after theMonday night readings at the “BodyPolitic.” Creative ideas are exchanged,information about money and publisherspasses back and forth as do the stories andlegends of poets. The readings in Harper andthe Reynolds Club Theatre are designed tobring some of the new styles and new tests tothe University of Chicago. They should proveto be performances - entertainingexperiences of a new and very differentworld.“So what if Bill Knott is a poet of thesixties!” I protested over a beer in theBaron.“Yeah, so what?” echoed someone justtaking a seat besides me. “By the way, whois Bill Knott?”„To smile after you have missed the punchline even when you didn’t know it was was ajoke - that is a purpose in life.

However,your bentwood chair, your table with thatseductive card suggesting all those fogproducing drinks, and an impatient waitressreassure you that Ionesco is not the bill offare for the evening. The lights flash on, twoactors, frozen for an instant, begin the firstroutine of the night and Second City’s Phase46 or Watergate Tomorrow, Comedy Tonightis off and running. To where?For over a decade Second City hasprovided Chicago with some of the bestsatire available. Much of what they havedone has an enduring appeal; witness thesuccess of their revival “greatest hits” showlast spring. The formula-quick delivery,stock characters, absurd situations, surpriseturns-still works. But something’s missing.There’s no edge, no bite.I saw this show the night Spiro threw in thetowel. Considering the title of the showsuggested the possibility of political com¬ments, from a company that proclaimsit’s ability to improvise I expected to see apiece about Agnew’s T.K.O. Two referencesare what we got. One was not supposed to befunny and the other was an attempt to covera host of forgotten lines. Except for a fewbrief moment Second City touched nothingcontroversial, and barely anything topical.Current events are a ready source of supplyfor interesting work but their sources wereall ‘stale news’.Earlier I mentioned improvising. At theend of the show the audience was asked toname a number of situations, characters,settings and phobias that they would like tosee used in an improvised skit to be presented fifteen minutes later. So, what didwe get? We got an old routine known as“Something’s Rotten”, based on Hamlet,which was part of the revival show. That’snot improvization; it’s plagiarizing your ownstuff. The whole thing smacks of creativelaziness which can be disguised if you haveseen Second City only once or twice.Before I hurl too many rocks of criticalabuse I’d like to say I really did enjoy theshow. It’s funny and that is the mainobjective. Group therapy for two in a YMCAis a terrific skit. “Ok. Now we’re going toplay the trust game. A member of the groupwill volunteer to go to the center of the groupcircle. There he will close his eyes and fall,trusting in the group to catch him. Anyvolunteers?”And I admit that Billy Graham is funny onDick Cavett so why not at Second City? Themusical number by three singing aldermenfrom City Hall, done to the tune of “If I WereA Rich Man”, was clever and harmonizedwith a few of the political facts of Chicago.-“We can save your ass/ If you’re white andmiddle class.” But advertisements forschool, socks, and doctors are tiring afterone such routine. A traffic cop taking pity ona husband with a bitchy wife is no longeramusing-even if you add the twist that thewife put it on to save her husband.In short, there is little evidence of creativework. It’s as if Second City is standingaround day-dreaming about Nichols andMay, Maybe it might be better if thecompany dropped the revue formataltogether and substituted plays or MonteHall or anything. Second City has gone theway of the rest of Old Town. Its become asight-seeing attraction for Lutheran groupsfrom Tomah and businessmen from Toledo.If you haven’t been there yet I suppose youshould go to see the buffalo.

California VOM€€RDI9PWY9VOSdTILITYBy LAWRENCE HECHTUnder the broad heading of “chambermusic” can be subsumed a virtually infinitenumber of instrumental combinations. But itis the seemingly arbitrary grouping of twoviolins, viola and cello that has shown itselfto be the most durable of all possibletperttiutai:<ms. This durability can be at leastpartially explained by the incredibly widespectruin of expression possible via the^string quartet, three slices of which were^presented last Friday evening by thegVermeer Quartet playing diverse works byHaydn, Mendelssohn, and Hindemith.The program opened with the second ofC Haydn’s six “Russian” quartets, op. 33. Thet set was originally played for the visitingGrand Duke of Russia (later Czar Paul II) inVienna in 1781. According to Haydn, thesequartets “were written in an entirely newand original manner.” They are quitedifferent in mood from Haydn’s ratherpassionate quartets of nine years earlier.The minuet movements of these six piecesare designated by Haydn as either Scherzo orScherzando, and the playful character of allsix inspired the subtitle of the set: GliScherzi.The Vermeer Quartet’s execution of thesecond of these musical jokes wasmemorable, although the first movementseemed stiff and the contrast between thedancelike Trio and the main sections of thesecond movement (the Scherzando) couldhave been sharper. The Largo was superb,with meticulous attention to dynamics andexact coordination of the four parts. TheFinale, with its truncated melody concludingthe piece in midair, was performed with thewit and charm that Haydn had intended.The 140 year leap to Hindemith’s Quartet#3, op. 22, was made with ease. Written in 1922, the quartet belongs to Hindemith’smost “modern” period; after the twenties,the music of Hindemith became increasinglymore conservative and traditional, as well asmore practical.The third quartet is in five movements,and the highly contrasting character of eachwas vigorously displayed by the Vermeergroup. The cello pizzicati under the openingviolin- viola fugue were rich and regular. Themarvelous second movement was performedwith incredible energy and force. Themelody of the third movement is marked mitwenig Ausdruck (“with little expression”);such restraint mysteriously produces ahighly expressive mist of sound. The last twomovements were played equally as well,with a stunning virtuosic display of the celloin the fourth.The program concluded with aperformance of Mendelssohn’s Quartet #2 inA minor, op. 13, a colorful work of varyingdegrees of complexity. The execution of thehighly chromatic four part fugue in thesecond movement (Adagio non lento) wasparticularly impressive. The Trio of the thirdmovement was played with sparklingprecision. The final movement (Presto) wasa fitting climax to a diverse program playedwith Vermeer versatility.This performance of the Vermeer Quartetmarked the beginning of the University’s1973-74 Chamber Music Series. The Quartetwill also be heard here on January 11 withRichard Stoltzman, guest clarinetist, and onApril 1 with guest pianist Peter Serkin.Members of the quartet are ShmuelAshkenasi and Pierre Menard, violins,Nobuko Imai, viola, and Marc Johnson,cello; all are on the resident artist faculty atNorthern Illinois University.DRIFTING THROUGHi iBy HERBERT MORTON DHNCGR”I found myself in the loop and not quiteknowing where the Esquire theater was. Iconsidered asking two cops for directions buttheir flashing lights indicate that their handsare full. I continued my journey northwardon State St. across the bridge until I met aChicago Tribune truck driver who gave meall the facts. It takes about half an hour towalk from the loop to the theater but thesights and sounds encountered along the wayare well worth it.The theater is well-lit and attractive.There’s a small line at the ticket window.The people spilling out of the theater seem tohave enjoyed what they saw. My turn’s next.I purchase my ticket and in I go.The way “I AM A DANCER” is handled isvery tasteful. It’s about Rudolf Nureyev, thereigning king of Dance. It was directed byFrench film-maker Pierre Jourdan andproduced by a British ballet enthusiast,Evdoros Demitriou. Scenes and shots ofNureyev in the dressing room, at the bar,and in stage practice are just beautiful. Thefilm does a marvelous job of showing usNureyev the artist and Nureyev the man.There are two scenes that hint at thedriving dedications and endurance that adancer of Nureyev’s stature has. One showshim applying makeup in a very meticulousfashion and the other shows him changingafter a performance. Exhaustion is evident in every move but also a peaceful sense ofhaving accomplished something worthwhile.The major part of “I AM A DANCER” isdevoted to Nureyev’s performances. Hedances excerpts from “Sleeping Beauty”and “La Sylphide” of “Marguerite andArmand” and “Field Figures.” Just seeingNureyev dance is a treat in itself but seeinghim dance in the classic, the romantic andthe avant-garde shows very concretely hismastery of the dance and its various modesof expression. Each role is done with fire,dedication and perfection of technique whichhas become synonymous with Nureyev.Glen Tetley’s choreography in “FieldFigures” explores the psychological im¬plications of the spacial distances humansplace between one another while inter¬relating. It has a very eerie, futuristic,“2001” feeling about it. The Royal Ballet’sDeanne Bergsma and Nureyev stop, start,writhe and stretch in a glorious fashion.In Frederick Ashton’s “Marguerite andArmand”, Margot Fonteyn dances oppositeNureyev in a score set to Liszt. She is lithe,feminine and dances exquisitely. It is alsofascinating how the film treats Nureyev’srelationship with Dame Margot. He says thatshe is dancer he continually enjoys dancingwith and continually returns to. She in turndescribes his harmless fits at minor im¬perfections and his perpetual strifings tobetter his technique and expression.4- Grey City Juyi oal - October 7, \ 773190M€new"ROOM? 9 finTH€BA9CMenTBy AMY WEISTEINOOne rather grey and lonely after oon lastweek, I wandered into the quiet basementgallery of the Museum of Contempt) ary Art.There were no pictures covering the vails. Intheir place, hung a series of eleven n iniaturebalsa wood rooms, each uninhabr.ed andexquisitely simple in form.I was the only visitor, with the exc option ofa small man who had slipped u der theguard rope and stood before one miniature,busily repairing the leg of a tiny ci dr. Theman was Michael Hurson, artist an< creatorof these fascinating little sti lies ofarchitecture and line in relation to theessence of human presence.Upon entering into conversation ith Mr.Hurson, I learned that he began to v»rk withbalsa wood room models as an artisticmedium two years ago. In an at'ompt toconvey the mood of a particular rt »m ontocanvas, he faced difficulty attaining thedesired perspective. He found limselflooking slightly down upon the f :niture,rather than directly upon each f ace. Inorder to alleviate this problem, it becamenecessary to construct a proportior ;1 balsawood model of the room Howe.er, theminiature struck Mr. Hurson as mi h morethan a practical study in perspe i.ive. Itbecame an exciting rendition of the -mditionhe had been trying to depict in his minting The artist perceived that unembellishedbalsa wood room studies might evoke amultiplicity of sensations - ranging from animagined continuation of architecturalplanes, to a feeling of delayed humanpresence. This realization led to therefinement of Mr. Hurson’s original modelroom, which was completed in 1972. Thecompositions on display at the Museum ofContemporary Art are a compilation ofworks done over the past year and a half.“Room/ 1972” was the first study Iexamined. A small room, confined by threewalls and a low ceiling, it was characterizedsimply by several chairs and small tablesgrouped before a fireplace. In the forefrontof the grouping one chair had beenconspicuously toppled over. The back wallwas marked by a door carelessly left ajar. Icould easily conjecture an adjoining roomlying beyond that wall. Perhaps it was theshadow cast by the half opened door, orperhaps the unsymmetric arrangement ofstark, balsa wood furniture that carried meinto the world of people the miniatureportrayed.“Summer Room”,also cpn§trv»cted in 1972,presented quite a different physical picturefrom the first work.And >ifundamental spirit of humanacUy^y, bpllypr.-the past and the future, w^s. retained frWfeqeone composition to thqnextiri; ,JoJmup gnhtI approached the back of the room astooewould the rear of a house. With qqrjosity,.^.};peered through one of the three windows todiscover a sitting room devoid of people.Sunlight seemed to pour info the room, (;Shadows fell ag*oss the furniture and wallsin patterns. A pillow tossed upon a couchsported an indentation where once a headhad lain. I was acutely aware of the peoplewho had shoved a chair this way or that inthe course of past conversation. At thatpoint, I could transcend the physical barrierof size, and enter into the sphere of the smallapartment. What became important wasthat the room was a place where people hadexisted and interacted. There, they had left adistinct impression for me, as an observer, tocontemplate.All eleven of the works seemed to make anemphatic statement about the relation oftime and architectural dimensions. I felt themere extension of a wall, continued on tocomplete the inherent state of a finishedroom, or even possibly, the rest of a building.More essentially, I felt as though my ownpresence were an invasion into the after¬thought of human existence that lingeredthere. The impression of vacancy wasaccompanied by the pregnant implication ofexpected or prior habitation. Theanticipation of further action also became apersuasive sensation.“Empty Room” and “Office Space” wereunique compositions in that theycharacterized an extended period betweenthe time human interaction occured withintheir walls and the time they were leftvacant. These rooms impressed anintangible sense of reflection upon me,rather than the feeling that someone had leftto answer a telephone a moment ago, andwould reappear in an instant.I walked away from the gallery with theconsciousness that through the scrutiny ofthese miniatures, I had touched the life forceof those who had implicitly occupied therooms before. Mr. Hurson has developed aninteresting techinique for presenting theassociation of time, occupency, and line. Theshow will continue until November 11 at theMuseum of Contemporary Art, located at 237East Ontario St. REMEMBERMORE THAN JUST FACESBUYTHE1974 CAP and GOWNYes, I'd like.closing six dollars for each book:Local address: .copy (ies) of the 1974 Cap and Gown.

Attend the Lyric Opera for La Fille!In 1966 Joan Sutherland opened in a newproduction of Donizetti’s La Fille duRegiment. The place was Covent Garden, thestaging was done by Sandro Sequi, and theopera was a hugh success.In 1972 and again in 73, Ms Sutherlandsang her by then famous Marie atMetropolitan Opera. New York’s Met hadpurchased the Covent Garden productionand asked Sequi to again direct the per¬formance.Opening in Chicago’s Civic Opera House onSaturday, October 20th, will be that samewonderful production, generously loaned bythe Met to Lyric. The opera is French in thetraditional Opera Comique style — songs andspoken lines.Sutherland fans will find themselves en¬joying a light-hearted Marie whose loves arefirst Tonio and then her country and herarmy of “fathers.” Raised by tough, kind-hearted military men, Marie prefers theirrough and ready life to that of a lady in thesheltered high society. But who could blameher. With sharp, witty lines and lyrics byJean-Francois Bayard and Vernoy de St.Georges and with Donizetti’s sweet andlyrical songs or spirited military airs to singand dance to, she has ample opportunity toexpress her gay, free spirit and her deepsense of honor and love.Both Marie and Tonio have music that is as delightful to sing as to hear. Donizettidesigned Marie’s singing lesson with LaMarquise as a showcase for a bel canto.Tonio’s arias give the leading tenor a chanceto show off his voice, also, with plenty of highC’s and grand, lyrical runs. And the spokenlines are no less of a rewarding challenge tothe performers.Sequi’s talent for using space and peoplewill give La Fille a realistic touch, there willnot be anyone “painted” into the scene.The other artists portraying the people ofLa Belle France in the 1800’s (and theirprobable roles) will be Regina Resnik as LaMarquise de Berkenfield (Marie’s “aunt”),Jennie Tourel as La Duchesse de Crakentorp(mother of Marie’s intended), Alfredo Krausas Tonio (Marie’s true love), Spiro Malas asSulpice (sergeant of the guards), NormanPaige as Hortentius (servant of LaMarquise), Giorgio Giorgetti as a corporal,and Florindo Andreolli as a peasant.The whole promising evening will beconducted by Richard Bonynge (spouse ofMs. Sutherland), a specialist in Italian opera(well, Donizetti was Italian) and very mucha purist at heart. He likes to go back to scoresas close to the composer’s original aspossible and then adjust when necessary todifferences in modern orchestras, orchestralpits and, of course, the unique qualities of theleading lady’s voice.Lyric still has a few tickets available forLa Fille, and with only six Chicago per¬formances (Oct. 20,24,26, Nov. 2,5, & 7) theyare selling fast. I’m glad that I have mine inhand. Joan Sutherland in "La Fille Du Regiment"MCKTMGe WITHA “BIG BOOM”BdND:rMZdRCTHIM PROftLG By MARK BUSHMANNazareth, a four-man rock band fromScotland, opened last Friday night’s show atthe Aragon. With that performance, the bandcompleted a two month long U.S. tourconsisting mainly of bottom billings and, atbest, break-even pay. This otherwiseunremunerative venture had as its objectivepromotion of the groups third U.S. albumrelease, RAZAMANAZ (A&M SP-4396). Inkeeping with their highly discriminativeinterview policy (“We’ll talk to anyoneexcept Rolling Stone, they’re a bunchof head cases,” murmured lead singer DanMcCafferty), Nazareth agreed to grantGrey City Journal readers a glimpse ofthe rocky road to Rock and Roll Dollarsfacing a band which is big in the old countrybut virtually unknown in the States.While Nazareth are extremely popular intheir native Scotland, the economics of therock business is such that this popularitynets them only a moderate income. The realmoney in this industry rests with America’saffluent teen-to-twentydom, and the onlyway a band can effectively tap that gold¬mine is through record sales. A foreign bandlike Nazareth must risk a carefullyestablished rapport with their home audience by abandoning them for Americanstages, if they are to have a shot at theMycenaen existence the rock business offers.That Nazareth considers this a risk worthtaking is made clear by bassist Pete Agnew(no relation), who said, “I don’t want to livecomfortably. I want to be big. I want to be amonster.”All of the members of Nazareth aremarried, two of them with children, and theirattempts to capture America’s teenagewaste land have proven disequilibrating withrespect to their family lives. “After wefinished recording our next album, I went towash my face; and the next thing I knewI was in America,” laughed Agnew. “Ihaven’t seen my wife and kids in fourmonths, and somewhere in that time theymoved. I have the address, but I don’t knowwhere I fucking live anymore!”The three Nazareth albums were producedby ex-Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover, aname which, when spotted on a Nazarethalbum cover, would be recognized by mostdisciples of the “heavy metal” genre intowhich the band most conveniently falls.Even with the commercial advantage ofGlover’s name and his expert, economicalproduction, the first two Nazareth albums“came onto the record charts with a fart and left the same way,” in the words of guitarist•Manuel Charlton.Nazareth are hoping RAZAMANAZ willpropel itself along the charts in a lessodorous fashion, and in a more uniformlyupward direction than did the first two LPs.The album marks a change of label for theband (from Warner’s to A&M), and it hasalready reached Number One in Wichita,Kansas. Despite the fact that Wichita hasnever been noted as a reliable indicator offuture trends in rock music, the band wasconfident enough to invest $2,000 in thetrappings ef true stardom, leather suits.At the Aragon, Nazareth faced a rabidcrowd who had been angered by a seventyminute delay in starting. In concert, as onthe album, the band was undistinguished andpredictable. Although they evoked theirbest audience response of the evening whenannouncing that they were about to finishtheir set, Nazareth politely thanked theaudience for being so groovy, and flew toLondon to begin a month-long British tour.In the mountains, the shortest way is frompeak to peak; but one must have long legs forthat. —Nietzsche.....STUDENTS IN THE COLLEGE....Who have not received an in¬vitation to the Special Convocationon Friday, October 26, at 11 a.m.and wish to attend, please see theCollege Receptionist....1st Floor Harper ••••for an admission ticket Whos thisl.»dy,andwh y is shesmiling?(Se* Page 9)6- Grey City Journal - October 19, 1973 ■ t »KRGCORD9 JGoats Head SoupThe Rolling StonesRolling Stone Records COC 59101By MARK BUSHMANFor the better part of the last ten years, theFoiling Stones have laid legitimate claim tothe title of “Greatest Rock and Roll Band inthe World” which is so often ascribed tothem. The Stones possess an uncanny abilityto combine sinister and cynical elements in amanner which epitomizes the rock idiom. InGoats Head Soup, however, both drama andhumor are too often lacking to permitcomparison with the best of the Stones’recorded work. Although a listenable, en¬joyable album at its own level, this release isnot likely to fulfill the expectations of hard¬core Stones fans.The lead-off tunes on past Stonesalbums have rarely failed to perform theimportant function of riveting the listener’sattention to the proceedings. The openerhere, “Dancing With Mr. D,” while a goodcut in and of itself, cannot quickly grab thelistener, as “She Said Yeah” or “Sympathyfor the Devil” do. “Mr. D” is a murky, evilsong which is more suited to Andy Johns’dense but strangely depthless mix than areother tunes on the album to which he applied this same technique. This cut climaxessubtly but effectively in Jagger’s vocal,artfully walking the line between drama andmelodrama.“Coming Down Again” and “Doo Doo DooDoo Doo” are two fine songs which sufferfrom under-worked arrangements. If“Coming Down Again” had been the subjectof a bit more thought and studio ex¬perimentation, (Keith Richard’s beautiful,majestic vocal notwithstanding), it wouldhave been a far better conclusion to thealbum than is “Starfucker.” “Doo Doo DooDoo Doo” is perhaps the most musicallyadventurous thing the Stones have done since“We Love You” in 1967, with potential formarshalling as much energy as did thatearlier cut. Again, however, a flimsyarrangement and the inaccessible quality ofthe mix stop the cut short of greatness.“Hide Your Love” offers some interesting,percussive piano work by Jagger, but littleelse. The Slim Harpo-style vocal used togreat advantage on “Hip Shake”;'herecomes off as a nasal whine, and the bandmembers seem have trouble finding eachother. The f \t■ overly lush “Angie” isnearly as un: a pimple on the Stones’career as “La ^e” and “As Tears GoBy.” “Starfuckv ’ a good, Chuck Berry-type tune, but the did this kind of thing much better nearly a decade ago, as with“Bye Bye Johnny” and “Down the RoadApiece”.“Silver Train” is solid, with cutting slideguitar work from Mick Taylor, andRichard’s patented search-and destroyrhythm guitar. Charlie Watts nearlydestroys the momentum by trying to kick upthe energy level at an entirely inappropriatepoint, but it all works out in the end. Watts’drumming, by the way, is un¬characteristically subdued and out of synchwith the arrangements throughout GOATSHEAD SOUP.“100 Years Ago” is possibly the best thinghere. Although not as strong a song as“Coming Down Again,” “100 Years Ago” isgiven a carefully arranged, if rather per¬functorily executed performance. BillyPreston’s clavinet is appropriately lean, andthe bucolic tune ambles nicely into a surpriseconclusion which rocks harder than anythingelse on the album.In short, GOATS HEAD SOUP suffersfrom comparison with the impressive bodyof Rolling Stones recorded work. The albumis flawed, but enjoyable. Unfortunately,those familiar with the Rolling Stones (andwho isn’t?) know that the band is capable offar more than merely “enjoyable” music. Don Mclean, who will be appearing onSaturday night in Mandel Hall, is pic¬tured with "Softop", the official head ofSounds for the People (who is producingthe concert).

The biggest news is probably theopening of Don Siegel’s new film, CharleyVarrick, which starts its run tonight at theUnited Artists Theater. Charlie Varrick,though, has the misfortune of being aUniversal release, which means no pressscreenings, no previews, no nuttin, so we’llhave to hang on a week while the Maroonscrapes up enough money to buy a ticket.Second biggest news is The Paper Chase,opening tonight at the Carnegie, andreviewed elsewhere in the GCS.Things go pretty seriously downhill fromthere, with the Barbra Streisand-RobertRedford vehicle The Way We Were and theHerman Hesse vehicle Siddhartha — bothopening at outlying theaters — and ClaudeBerri’s Le Sex Shop at the Playboy. At thebottom of the heap there’s Jeremy, TheStone Killer, and The Italian Connectionplaying at various theaters which shallremain nameless (and shameless). Thismound of celluloid is a little intimidating, butwe might as well make a few tentativegestures towards sorting it out.The Way We Were is a film of confusedintentions, to say the least Streisand andRedford are no Hepburn and Tracy, orBogart and Bacall, or even Laurel andHardy. This may well be the biggestmismatch since Fields and West, and for afilm that depends almost entirely on its starpower, this is a damning fault. Those of youwho still can’t visualize Streisand and OmarSharif in the same frame may spend a fewsleepless nights pondering this one — SuperJew meets Super Goy and winner takes all.In What’s Up, Doc? Bogdanovich metabout the same challenge (or perhaps aneven more frightening one) by playing downthe ethnic overtones and by making acomedy in the first place. The Way We Werehowever, loses on both counts, since it’s aserious Love Story (that means *hey getdivorced in the end) about a girl who seems alot like Barbra Streisand and a boy whobears more than a little resemblance toRobert Redford.The Star Vehicle is a dying genre, withoccasional holdovers like last years LadySings the Blues, and practically any SteveMcQueen picture you’d care to name, whichmakes The Way We Were an even morecurious project. The audience does notautomatically fill the theaters for PaulNewman any more than it does for AngelaMao. Subject Matter is the new supremearbiter of the box office — give ’em whatthey want, not who they want. More oftenthan not, they want Kung-Fu, but that’sanother story. The combined glory of BarbraStreisand and Robert Redford bursting forthupon the Panavision screen may well mean as little to the pictures commercial successas it does to its artistic success.Sydney Pollack’s lackluster direction findsfew values in this tepid story of an essentiallyempty love affair. Streisand is running theCP at an unnamed midwestern college whereshe meets and falls in love with Redford, aWASP super jock. Redford seems to havesome talent as a writer, which impresses -Streisand very much, who apparently hasnever before suspected that blond hair andintelligence were not mutually exclusive.As the film develops, or rather, continues,we see more and more of his blond hair andless and less of his alleged intelligence. Ittakes Streisand a good hour of screen time(and about ten years plot time) to cajoleRedford into marrying her so she can cajolehim into writing his great novel. While allthis cajoling is going on, Redford decides tosell out and go to Hollywood to write for thepictures. Barbra frowns upon this butdoggedly follows her man. Suddenly, theyget involved with the Blacklist (bet youwondered why the CP stuff was in there,didn’t you?), Barbra gets pregnant, and theyget divorced.All of this occurs in about the last tenminutes of the film, and we can only wonderwhat Pollack has been saving it up for. Mostof the time, Redford tells Streisand that shetakes politics too seriously, and Streisandtells Redford that he takes politics toolightly. This conversation, broken only by anoccasional change of background, absorbsmost of the films running time, and Pollackhas very little left over to explain what thetwo of them ever thought they had incommon in the first place.Pollack could write a thesis on “101 waysto Misuse the Cinemascope Format”, butthat might be redundant after making thisfilm. Cinemascope is generally used topreserve a greater sense of spatial continuitythan is possible with a narrower format, andthereby to cut down on the number of shotsneeded in a particular scene. For example,there is little need to crosscut during aconversation when both of the speakers canbe held in a single shot, and the director (ifhe is any good) can direct our attentionwithout having to resort to close-ups.Pollack, though, chops up his space with thesame reckless abandon of Eisenstein,without achieving any of his effects. Shotafter shot is of a gigantic head floating infront of a murky, out-of-focus background,which at first is merely grotesque, but soonbegins to get on your nerves, especially sincethe dialogue is incredibly banal.Once in a while I see a film so poor that I feela little embarrassed for anyone who hadanything to do with it. Pity is out of placehere. These people should be encouraged toleave the country until this thing blows over. MUGUMriTTH€LON¬DONHOUSEBy BEN HUANG and LARRY FRISKEJack Schectman plays at Sanctuary (in theBlue Gargoyle) tonight at 8:30. He’s reputedto be an excellent song writer, and wouldprobably be worth seeing if you miss gettinginto the movie.The movie is Gone With the Wind, so farnot released in a new unexpurgated versionby Grove Press. The version on campus (inMandel Hall) will be the old version, with*Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh. Hot Damn!Saturday evening brings Don McLean tocampus, though he is probably sold out. If you want to unwind in a place with anintimate and soothing atmosphere, theLondon House might be the place for you. Ifyou’re into top-flight jazz blues guitar, thenyou should plan to go to the London House atMichigan and Wacker streets to catch KennyBurrell. He’ll be there for three shows (8:30,10:30, and 12:15) nightly thru November 4.Kenny is far past the time in which heneeds to impress audiences with gimmickyplaying or electronic fads. The critics seem toannually vote him the best guitarist (DownBeat’s latest international poll) and thepublic (especially the younger listeners)are coming to appreciate this man’stremendous talent.Accompanying him at the London Houseare: Richard Wyands on piano, John Dentzon drums, and Reggie Johnson on anacoustic-electric bass called a Blitz bass.Kenny played the blues (in the jazz style)all night. From upbeat funky blues lacedwith breakneck runs to reflective balladsplayed with an exquisite tenderness.Perhaps showing his roots, or maybebecause it’s late at night and he doesn’t needto cater to more commercial tastes, Kenny’splaying reflected his love for the blues. Twoor three times during the set, he broke awayfrom the rest of the band and played solo for5 or 6 minutes. These solos were likedoodling, he toyed with ideas, transformedthem into shifting landscapes of sound. Histrue mastery of the guitar allows him toinstantly communicate with the audience.These spontaneous improvisations,containing a rich flow of musical ideas andthe perfect execution of those ideas.His sideman gave him excellent support.Strong and rhythmic on the upbeat numbers,soft and empathetic on the ballads. Theperson who really impressed me was ReggieJohnson on bass. His bass playing is theepitome of professionalism. Always therewhen Kenny needs him to lay down afoundation to play on but never intruding onKenny’s playing. Reggie played with Kennyon his latest album, Both Feet on the Ground,on the Fantasy label. I personally preferKenny on his earlier albums: Midnight Blue(Blue Note 84123), Man at Work (Cadet S-769), and Guitar Forms on (Verve 6861),because they’re less commercially oriented.Should be a good concert if you like DonMcLean. His competition is a Ken Russellfilm, Savage Messiah, which had acommercial run in Chicago of the usual briefduration.Kenny Burrell, playing at the LondonHouse, is reviewed elsewhere in the paper.He is one of the finest Jazz guitarists around,and it might make an interesting comparisonto go see him, and then hear George Benson,who will be appearing at the Modern JazzShowcase in about two weeks.TAKCAM-YKNCHINESE AMERICANRESTAURANTSpecializing inCANTONESE ANDAMERICAN DISHESOPEN DAILY11 A.M.TO8t30 PM.SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS12 TO 8:30 P.M.CLOSED MONDAYSOrders to take out1318 East 83rd MU 4-1062UNIVERSITYBARBERSHOP1453 E. 57th ST.CLOSED MONDAYS684-3661Hairs tylingRazor cuts The Adventures of A<HAIA<LAU»(pronounced: AH-HI-YA KLAUSS) Try the enchanting Grecian wines produced by Achaia Clauss.

It isimportant dramatically, it is important asliterature, and it is important politically. Astheatre and as literature it is importantbecause it is both innovative and intelligent,a complex and brilliant work of art in formand content. As a political document it isimportant because it is morallyquestionable.The format is part play, part pseudo¬documentary, an offshoot of the NewJournalism. The setting is Londonderry,Northern Ireland in 1970 where an idealist, acynic, and a cleaning-woman enjoy thefreedom of the city for a few hours when theyfind that they have inadvertantly taken overthe Lord Mayor’s office in their flight fromthe canisters of gas used to break up aprotest march.The experience of these three, playedexpertly by Frances Hyland, Allan Carlsenand the marvelously sneering Lenny Baker,is intercut with flash-forwards to the variousinterlocutors who are analysing the im¬plications of their subsequent murder byBritish soldiers. Among the interpreters ofthe event are a board of inquiry and itsvarious military witnesses and scientificexperts, the news media, a sociologist, thelocal priest, and a singing pub-crawler.These many roles are performed withconsistent excellence, full of fine detail andsensitively timed, under the direction ofWilliam Woodman.Dramatically, FREEDOM OF THE CITY By MEREDITH ANTHONYis a masterpiece of histrionic architecture.The multiple levels of irony are balanced ascarefully as a complexly cantileveredbuilding. The excellent set by David Jenkinseffectively parallels this with its many areasat various levels and angles.As literature the play explores theelusiveness of reality, the ambiguity of truth,not only for the several investigators, thejudge who must piece together contradictoryevidence, or the sociologist who approachesevents in terms of a theoretical framework,and not only for the participants whoseinadvertant actsare treated as symbolic bytheir friends as well as their enemies, but italso speaks to the individual who, with thecleaning-woman Lilly Dougherty, voices aregret that not one action in her entire lifehas been fully grasped and analysed.But despite these aspects of enduringartistic achievement, we must also deal withthe fact that FREEDOM OF THE CITY hasan immediate political context. We mayimmerse ourselves in the dramatic andliterary qualities of a piece of ‘historicalfiction’ but when the setting is present andnot past history we must often give a workthe less pleasant name of propaganda. Thereis an aspect of FREEDOM OF THE CITYthat employs the sort of moral hustle whereart is subordinated to politics and we areconned into taking a side by our emotional•response rather than by a rational decision.When we go to a play we give it a certainamount of trust, we allow it to play on ouremotions, if it’s good enough. We consent tolet it try to move us. When we discover that Dick Cusack’s new farce at the BodyPolitic has no chance of suspense at all sincehe gives away the entire plot in the title:THE NIGHT THEY SHOT HARRYLINDSEY WITH A155MM HOWITZER ANDBLAMED IT ON ZEBRAS. And, what’smore, you find out early on that the zebrasdon’t at all mind taking the blame-theyintended to do it themselves.THE NIGHT THEY SHOT HARRYLINDSEY WITH A 155MM HOWITZER hasa great deal in common with Shaw’s MAJORBARBARA. Both plays portray the drawing¬room struggles of some idealistic liberalswith an immoral arms salesman and in bothcases the liberals are defeated by their ownempty posturing and the wicked merchant ofdestruction goes off victorious. Of course,there have been changes. THE NIGHTTHEY SHOT HARRY LINDSEY requiresthat a surrogate merchant of destruction gooff victorious since Harry himself, alas, doesnot survive the second act. Here, too,Barbara’s Salvation Army is modernizedinto an integrated militant action group,Zebras, of course. Barbara herself istransmuted into one Myron Goldlabel. Andthe role of Lady Brit becomes, in AmyKeester, much more cnetral to the action--anthis is not being done in the name of art, toexercise our emotions and to educate them,but rather for political ends, to trick us intotaking a side, then that trust has beenviolated. There is a scene early inFREEDOM OF THE CITY in which adrunken Irish Pub tenor sings a stirring excellent move since Mina Kolb is one of thefinest comic actresses around and everyword and gesture is a delight.But the real difference between THENIGHT THEY SHOT and MAJORBARBARA is that Shaw had a point to make.This does not become too painfully evident inTHE NIGHT until the third act when thecomic pace lags and the play fumbles to ahalt. When Shaw quit clowning he gotserious. Cusack just gets dull. Perhaps it isalso a part of the modernization process thatold ideals don’t get replaced with new onesbut just disappear and leave nothing.Although Myron Goldlabel, like Barbara, isplanning to get married at the play’s end, itis not with the spirit of making a fresh startunder a new standard. Marriage to Marilynthe Zebra is not particularly promising. AndAmy Keester assures Myron that she’s goingto sell her house and start a rest home forretired Zebras.Shaw’s idealists recognized that somethingneeded doing in their society and when theyfound that they weren’t using the best meansto accomplish it they adopted new ones.Cusack’s liberals simply give up.

Nothing betterthan escaping some of the depression anddulness that a rotten day offers up.While driving along Wilson Ave. on the wayto the Organic Theater’s new show “TheWonder Ice-Cream Suit”, I tried to keep myhead above the roadside distractions—thecar accidents, the blue lights turning, thepolice leaning Mexican kids up against thesides of squad cars. Doesn’t everyone try tosomehow rise above urban onslaughts?Just a few days before, with the rainwashing candy wrappers down the gutters ofthe north side, I’d seen “Worms”, a totallyinfuriating production of the Magic CircleTheater. If you’d missed the Living Theaterstuff of the late sixties (and if you did, youmissed very little) then “Worms” is a must.You owe it to yourself to sit and squirm inyour seat as a skill-less cast eventually tearsoff its cloths and lifts its voice into joyoussong and dance.As a cute red-head tucks his cheek intoyour neck and sends his arms across yourchest, you wonder what ever happen to the‘70’s? What does he want? Should I bebusting buttons and leaping onto the stageand showing off that body that has, believeme, excited countless others before?The candy wrappers were far lessdepressing.“The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit” is StwartGordon’s big come back since Warp fell flaton its face in the big A, New York City. Andhe needs one, no one disputes that. Everyonefrom the Chicago theater world was there.Left overs from the now dead KingstonMines floated kisses to their friends. Arleine,a devastating two hundred pounder, flippedopen her fan and brushed the evening airacross her white satan floor length gown.And I stood outside the Leo A. LearnerTheater at 4520 N. Beacon. A waiter withgrandiose delusions of importance and a self-image as over inflated as the Good YearBlimp seated himself on the cement stairsoutside the theater with his usual “I AMSEATED HERE” air. A costume girl fromanother theater offered me a peppermint. Ithanked her and said no. She smiled backwith her necklace made of shark’s teeth.The excitment, need I mention, was in¬fectious. The big opening night Everyonewas there, all the theater locals, the down¬ TORHimOWtown reviewers and Stuart Gordon fans. Weseated ourselves and waited for the lights toshine down on this, Chicago’s claim totheatrical greatness—the Organic TheaterCo.Well the lights did shine but on Chicago’sversion of “El Grande de CocaCola”. Yes,“The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit” is aMexican Amos & Andy. Five pleasinglydopey Mexican lads get together enoughmoney to buy an ice-cream colored suitwhich they use as a passport to social ad¬venture according to each lad’s dreams.With the usual series of misadventures, thebig first night ends after each of the five hassuccessfully used the ice-cream suit to carryout his dream of life. And together they settledown for a nights rest.One of the cast, in a final moment ofexistential insight, says, “I guess it willnever be like this again.” He knows that allthe expectations and the hee-haw of gettingthe suit in the first place was the real fun andfrom now on, as the suit does its trick the oldlife of stoop sitting and sidewalk bumbingwill fade and a new chapter will begin.With a certain regret, he stares at the suit.One of his pals, already half asleep, repeatsthe line, as we the viewers are supposed tosense a sudden feeling of innocencelost.After an evening of fun and fancy, weare asked to remember, as St. Theresa said,“More tears are shed over answered prayersthan unanswered one.”Well, it didn’t work. The show was notfunny enough. The echos of Amos & Andywere patronisingly close and the existentialkicker only buried the play further into thedust. Enthusiasm and energy are no sub¬stitute for talent.After a rousing set of curtain calls from anaudience of best friends and partial insiders,everyone went upstairs for the after-openingpart. As we drove back along Wilson Ave, Itried, again, to ignore the police cars andflashing blue lights.The fate of fish who wear ice cream suits.Drawing by DAN ABRAHAM LA UNTCRNd M€RD€By CINDY TOBIASParrillada, enchiladas, paella...Chicago,where many ethnic groups have managed tomaintain their identity despite over 100 yearsin the melting pot, offers a large variety offoreign cuisines. A willingness to explore andexperiment is the only requirement for across-cultural encounter.The newest arrivals, die Latin Americans,offer Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban,Peruvian, Colombian and Argentine meals,many of them at prices lower than thosecharged for a hamburger on 57th St.La Lintema Verde at 4205 N. Broadwayserves both Mexican and Argentine cuisine.However, the best reason to go there is theArgentine food, which, unlike Mexican food,contains no chili peppers or other hotseasoning. It’s the only place for it in the city,and fortunately does an excellent job withthe Argentine meals prepared on an opengrill.The specialty is “parrillada” (parrillameans grill in Spanish). This delicacy in¬cludes grilled short ribs, sweetbreads,Italian-style sausage, beef kidney, smalltripe and blood sausage. It’s served with a huge mixed salad and lots of Italian bread,and, if desired, a pungent sauce consistingmainly of garlic and sweet basil. Order theparrillada medium to taste it at its best.You’ll be served a platter of meat big enoughto appease the largest appetite. It costs $4.30and is worth every penny of it. For the lessadventurous, there is also “churrasco” (ahuge grilled steak) with potatoes for $3.75,fried breaded steak, or grilled short ribs foreven less. All meals include salad and bread.If you are still hungry, for 70 cents you canget an Argentine dessert. “Dulce de batata”comes plain or with chocolate or fruit. It’sserved with a slice of white cheese, similar toBrick.While I’ve never sampled the Mexicancuisine, there is a very large choice, morethan 30 items, ranging from tacos at $1.20 tocomplete dinners at $2.80.The restaurant is located in an areainhabited by Mexicans, Cubans, PuertoRicans, Blacks and Caucasians, and theclientele is equally diverse.Bring your own wine or beer—they’llprovide the corkscrews and glasses.Drawing by DAN ABRAHAMAkadama Mama says,Be Nice to Mice.This week’s letterswere kind ofdull, but I did geta neat package. -JIt contained a home * ' Jbuilt mouse trap.

Bartok: Music for Strings,Percussion and Celesta.By BILL LEVINEWell, dearest friends, our ChicagoSymphony Or lestra is back to work. SirGeorg has returned, and the dragon was seenleaving the city several days before in anunmarked car.But perhaps you still feel deprived, havingmissed the opening concerts of the season, orperhaps because you can’t get tickets for therest of them. If so (or if you’re just feelinggenerally deprived), the six discs of TheKubelik Legacy may cheer you up.The august title is almost a bit misleading.After all, Rafael Kubelik is alive and well,and working productively at theMetropolitan Opera and elsewhere. I say,almost misleading, because he left afterthree years of wild controversy anddisagreement with the OrchestralAssociation, limiting his recording careerwith the CSO to the years shortly before theadvent of stereophonic recording. Thus these recordings seem to come from the end ofanother era, especially as the“controversial” Kubelik virtually seemed tohave passed away after he left Chicago. Thatis not to say that he altered his artisticphilosophy, which made room for a widerange of styles and periods, includinggenuinely modern works, European andAmerican. He was simply acceptedthereafter as a capable and sensitivemusician.Despite the antagonistic response of manylocal critics to everything that Kubelik did,these recordings were generally very wellreceived when they first came out, beginningin 1951, especially because of the remarkablequality of the sound. In fact, High Fidelity’sreview of these re-issues (March, 1973) washeaded, “When Mono Reached its SonicBest,” and a contemporary critic used theexpression “living presence” to describethem. However, it would be a mistake toattribute the particularly live sound of theserecordings solely to fine engineering. It is, ifanything, more the result of Kubelik’s waywith the forces at his command.The recordings were made with a singlemike hung at a point near the acoustic focusof Orchestra Hall, at one of two positionsabove and slightly behind the conductor. Thesound at this point was found to be virtuallythe same as that heard by the conductorhimself, improved by some additional hallresonance and “blending”. Thus, in contrastto all modern multiple-microphonetechniques, this system, once the recordinglevel was fixed, left the determination of allbalances and shadings to the conductoralone, giving him “a mirror for his work”, touse a phrase from Robert C. Marsh’s notes,which accompany each set. Now, such atechnique can not make an orchestra soundbetter than it is. Thus the brilliant andindividualistic sound of the CSO on these records is no more than a documentation ofthe special things that Kubelik was doingwith the orchestra during his brief tenure asmusic director.I stress this, because it is often a problemwith records to decide how much of the soundis simply a peculiar contribution of therecording process. It strikes me that much ofthe uncanny liveliness of these recordings isdue to what I would call the “Slavic” qualityof the orchestra. This means that the stringsseem to be playing with a lot of rosin on thebow. In fact, the entire orchestra seems toplay “with a lot of rosin on the bow,” that is,with a gutty, tautly tonal quality that seemsto keep the individual instrumentsseparated, even in big passages. It’s a simplematter to follow a single part. In Kubelik’sexpert hands, this sound is never coarse orcrude, and it seems especially appropriate inthe largely Slavic selections that areincluded in the sets. (Is this why theyselected Mozart’s Prague symphony?Enough is enough, gentlemen!)The Tchaikovsky symphonies benefitparticularly from this approach. They are,overall, conducted at moderate tempos thatdevelop substantial rythmic force when thetime comes for it. The performances seemedto be gauged dramatically according to thebig tutti passages which give Tchaikovskyworks such a popular appeal. In other words,everything builds up to the big passages, andthey always come off very well. Internal andlower parts are emphasised, which makesthe orchestra sound at times as if its verybowels are in an uproar. If that soundsunpleasant, it isn’t. In general, Kubelik hasvery good taste, and although he does allowhimself some interpretive freedom at times,he never degenerates into bombast.Much the same could be said for the excerpts from Smetana’s Ma Vlast, andeveryone’s favorite, Ravel’s arrangement ofMussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. TheMussorgsky was even something of a hitwhen it first came out, widely acclaimed asthe best ever.Bartok’s Music for Strings, Percussion andCelesta was also quite a celebratedrecording when it was first released. It is anexample of the progressive programmingwhich brought Kubelik into such conflict withthe orchestra trustees. This recordingapparently was instrumental in thepopularization of the Music, a work whichmay sound strange at first hearing, butrapidly becomes familiar and enjoyable. It isan intense, warm reading of the score, whichI even prefer in parts to Pierre Boulez’recent stereo recording, which is superb inits own right.On the whole, then, The Kubelik Legacy isa fine re-issue, and it should be of interest toeveryone, particularly as a collection-builder, as it gives a nice assortment ofcomposers and periods in each set. And oneword about the price indicated above; youcan certainly do better than that. Lookaround, and don’t buy your records atMarshall Field’s unless you want themwrapped. That’s the only thing I can think ofthat Marshall Field’s will do for you that noother record supplier will.The capacity for unclouded en¬joyment....does not belong to irresponsiblefools; an inviolate peace of spirit is not theacheivement of the drifter; to be able tolaugh is the end result of the most profound,most solemn thinking. —Ayn RandIf you have built castles in the air, yourwork need not be lost; that is where theyshould be; now put foundations under them.—lI.D.Thoreau.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO CHARTER FLIGHT PROGRAMannouncesCHRISTMAS BREAK 1973551W Vk' I jTVUrr*\V\ A\ WlA '*■ v-/y’*■ * '-vdfe, ■SAN rf * Tst*?\V V© San FranciscoDecember 15 to January 5Chicago-San Francisco-ChicagoUnited$ 174 roundtrip adults$100 children 2-12infants unter 2 freeFinal payment date November 6 London-RomeDecember 15 to January 4Chicago-London-RomeRome-Lo ndon-Ch ica goAlitalia$232 round trip plus $3airport taxFinal payment date November 7Eligibility is limited to U of C students, staff, and faculty(spouses and dependent children).
