Law school wins discrimination caseBy JIM FUCHSThe Equal Employment OpportunitiesCommission (EEOC), reversing a previousdecision, ruled that the University law schoolhas not co-operated with law firms thatmight descriminate against women in theirhiring policies.The EEOC’s previous decision maintainedthat the law school had violated the CivilRights Act of 1964 by allowing interviews ofstudents by law firms which a group ofwomen students maintained discriminatedagainst women in hiring.Eduardo Pena, Jr., the EEOC complianceofficer in Washington, summarizing theprevious decision, wrote that “That decisionfound there was reasonable cause to believethat respondent (the law school) engaged inan unlawful employment practice inviolation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of1964, as amended, by maintaining anemployment agency which unlawfullydiscriminates against females (as a class) indenying them equal employment opportun¬ities because of their sex. “The commission based its decision,” hecontinued, “on a belief that letters written bythe University to the alleged discriminatinglaw firms provided an “insufficient”response and a belief that the University“failed to take appropriate affirmativeaction to prevent discrimination in violationof Title VII. However, as Pena wrote, “Thedecision did not set out the content of suchletters.”The University asked the EEOC to re¬consider its decision, and the commissionagreed to do so. The second decision waswritten by Pena, who had also written theprevious decision.The University, in asking for an appeal,argued that all employers using its serviceswere informed of the necessity of observinga non-discriminatory policy, and theiUniversity further maintained that “everytime a complaint was made, the schoolinquired into the fact, contacted theemployer involved, and warned thetemployer in writing that it would be deniedthe services of the (placement) office unless it subscribed fully to the national policy ofnondiscrimination in employment.”The University also contended that allwomen were referred for interviews on anondiscriminatory basis and that it compiledlaw firms to interview every woman whosigned up for interviews:Pena, in writing his decision, found thatthere was no evidence disputing the lawschool’s contentions, and he reversed theprevious viewpoint.“The record does not demonstrate thatrespondent (the law school) has refused torefer, or set up barriers to referral of, femaleclients pursuant to the set preferences ofemployers. Nor has there been a showing ofany other discrimination by respondent in itsactivities as an employment agency,” hewrote.Accordingly, we find that respondent in itsrole as an employment agency, has notunlawfully discriminated against females,as a class, by denying them equalemployment opportunities or that it failed tofulfill its duty to ensure equal treatment of its female clients.”In addition, the University argued that theprevious decision would require the lawschool to “boycott” and/ or “blacklist”employers in violation of Title VII Penaagreed with this and withdrew that portion ofthe prior determination concerning thatissue.Phillip Neal, Dean of the law school, waspleased with the decision, and he added thatthe law school would not only continue tomeet the provisions of the act but that itwould also go beyond the act to guaranteeequal employment.He stated, “I’m very pleased with thedecision. It confirms the view we’ve hadabout the problem from the beginning andaccepts the points which we made. v';e fullyaccept the objectives of the act, and weintend to do everything we can, not only tocomply with the act, but to also doeverything we can even beyond the act topromote and guarantee the hiring of men andwomen on an equal basis. We intend to goeven beyond the letter of the law.”r- " ■ "1.12 licago MaroonThe University of Chicago Friday, November 30, 1973Lollege rejects Humvideo funds pleaBy KEVIN McDONALDIn a letter to John Cawelti, faculty sponsorand coordinator of Humvideo, College DeanCharles Oxnard has denied any financialsupport from the College for Humvideo.Cawelti had requested $5,000 from theCollege to finance Humvideo in the ‘interim’period between the time present funds runout and the time new funds from outsidesources may be gotten.According to David Affelder, coordinatorand only full-time staff member of Hum-video, their present monies will allow themto operate until February. Then, if no newfunds are found, operations will bedrastically curtailed and Humvideo willprobably dissolve after June.Both Cawelti and Affelder feel now thatHumvideo “has a low priority in futureCollege plans.” Though the College will notgive financial assistance to the search forfunds from outside sources, Oxnard’s letteroffered the “energy” of the College.The financial crunch on the Universitybudget was cited as a reason for no fiscalsupport. The letter also expressed uneaseover an application for a grant of $100,000from Exxon. Humvideo has been applyingfor funds Arom outside sources through theUniversity.The $100,000 was asked for a two-year period. If after these two years Humvideowas still in need of money, the Collegewouldn’t be able to meet the cost and wouldhave to close down a much larger operationthan the present one.Humvideo began in October, 1972, with agrant of about $21,000 from the BentonEducational Research Fund. An additional$500 was obtained from contract work withthe Chicago Theological Seminary. Thegrant was given with the purpose “to seekintegration of \/ 2 VTR tools and techni¬ques into the regular academic pursuits ofthe Division (Humanities); to promote the useof video to the College and community; tosow the seeds of a critical school of tapemaking.” Humvideo projects have includeddocumentaries, taping the UniversityTheatre’s Endgame, and a tape on fiveChicago high schools made by supervisedjunior high students.Narrative, story-telling tapes have beenproduced. Affelder says “perhaps it’s ourspecialty.”Affelder adds that “Sit-in: a docufantasy”by Steve Landsman produced here is wellregarded among tape people. At presentLandsman is working on another narrativefantasy tape, “Dribble.” This will definitelybe finished whether or not new funds arrive.Affelder also hopes to put on a “com- AFFELDER: Humvideo coordinator Dave Affelder inspects a tape.video tape for academic projects for gradecredit work.The Illinois Arts Council hasmunity extravaganza” sometime in spring toshoot scenes for this tape.

Anumber of students in the past have usedLate-night decision ’legitimizes' SGBy STEVE DURBIN“We are now legitimate.”So said a relieved Mark Brickell inreaction to the SFA court decision upholdingthe validity of the Student Government. Thecase of Ronald Davis vs. the StudentGovernment Assembly was decidedunanimously in favor of the government atthe session held on Tuesday, November 20.Brickell, president of the StudentGovernment, and the rest of the officers andassemblymen were threatened with havingall of their actions in SG since last Maydissolved because of this suit, which chargedvoting irregularities in the May 9 meeting.Ron Davis, who was chairman of theElection and Rules committee of SG at thetime of the alleged irregularities, filed thesuit, claiming that a number of memberswho voted in the elections of officers wereineligible to do so. Specifically, it wascharged that six representatives from thebusiness school illegally registered for theircandidacy, four representatives from Shoreywere improperly elected because of questionable residency status, and thatfourteen candidates in the previous generalelection had not signed proper candidacyforms.At the hearing, Davis made an openingspeech, elaborating these points. He wasfollowed with a very lengthycomprehensive speech by the attorney forSG, Jospeh Morris. In the space of two hours,Morris called several witnesses to testifyagainst Davis’ charges. When he wasfinished reviewing the witnesses, hesurprised the courtroom with the revelationthat the court had apparently already ruledon the charges last year.He showed that Davis, as then chairman ofE & R, had cropped the charges against theShorey residents on May first. Morris alsos^id that charges against the business schoolrepresentatives were dropped at the sametime. In regard to the candidates whichallegedly had not signed proper candidacyforms, it was shown that the election andrules committee approved the results of thatelection on May 2. As evidence, a letter was entered from E & R to the office of StudentActivities containing the list of approvedelection winners.In addition, a letter from the then chiefjustice Paul Collier was entered, showingthat there were no suits contesting theelection on the docket at the time of the May9 meeting. grantedHumvideo $1000 for some communityprojects. Individual solicitation of funds isnot approved of by the University so allrequests for grants go out through the Officeof Programs and Projects.This Humvideo grant is now in the Officeawaiting approval. Cedric L. Chernick,assistant vice president for programs andprojects, explained that this procedure in¬sures that rules of the University and of thegranting body are adhered to. For example,the University would like some of the grantmoney for itself to pay costs of ad¬ministration and building maintenance forgrant-supported programs. Also thisprocedure is preferable for tax purposes.One community project planned is to bringan author of children’s books to the HydePark Neighborhood Club and tape himteaching a group of children how to do someApparently, this information had some arts and crafts.

I amconfident, moreover, that if he shouldhappen to be impeached by the House, hecannot readily be convicted by the Senate onthe curiously flimsy (yet genuinelydisquieting) evidence now available. But Iam also confident that further availablerevelations of executive misconduct inrecent years can revive seriousimpeachment talk from time to time. Bothpartisanship and curiosity can keep the potboiling through 1974. What, then, is the bestway for us to proceed now?Is this not the time, before civil discordshakes the countrv even more than it hasalready, for the leaders of Congress and theexecutive (with the support of theresponsible press) to settle the prolongedcrisis which has been generated by theunseemly Watergate exposures? Should itnot be kept in mind, in the interests ofmoderation, that the harm done to thiscountry by the acknowledged conduct(especially with respect to foreign policy) ofthe last four Democratic administrations inWashington has been no less serious than theharm done by the criminal conspirators ofthe present Republican administration?That is, should we not restore amongourselves a sense of proportion about whatthe Nixon administration has and has notdone and, even more important, about whatit can reasonably be expected to dohereafter? I believe there are, in our presentcircumstances, three prudential courses ofaction to choose among. That is, domestictranquility seems to me to require, wellbefore the end of January 1974, one of thesethree settlements of a consitituional crisiswhich is both nightmarish and ludicrous: (1)the removal of Mr. Nixon from office, or (2)his resignation for the good both of theGADFLYcountry and of himself, or (3) the firm andannounced determination by all ourprincipal political leaders to close accountson the 1972 presidential campaign and to letbygones be bygones.Immediate removal of the President fromoffice requires more efficiency, self-assurance and toughness than Congressseems capable of at this time, unless muchmore evidence than is likely to be availableshould be brought forward to implicate Mr.Nixon personally in “bribery, or other highcrimes and misdemeanors,” or unless heshould become so disturbed as to make hisremoval appear obviously necessary toeveryone with whom he comes into contact.Resignation would be, of course, thesimplest of the three prudent settlements Ihave listed. But this action may be more self-sacrificing than Mr. Nixon is capable of —unless he should become even moredepressed than he has sometimes appearedto have been in recent months. Were Mr.Nixon selfless enough to resign for the good of the country, it might be argued by hismore cynical critics, there would never havedeveloped around the White House thegrasping attitudes which have spawned thepresent general distruct of the President. I,however, do not consider his resignationunthinkable. Certainly, he could well resignif he should happen to be impeached by theHouse of Representatives.But since we cannot count on Congressacting expeditiously or on Mr. Nixonconveniently resigning, the third course Ihave suggested (that of “closing accounts”)seems to me the most sensible for thecountry to rely upon. It is a course whichdoes lie within the capacities both ofCongress and of informed citizens to pursueresponsibly in the present circumstances.Indeed, it is a course which utilizes thosepolitical skills of self-restraint andcompromise which seasoned politicians aregood at.Thus, it seems to me prudent to propose atthis time, Congress should, with alldeliberate speed, terminate its publicinvestigations of the 1972 campaign andpermit the Department of Justice to return toits normal functions. Public speculationabout possible impeachment should befirmly discouraged. This means that Mr.Nixon should be tactily granted an amnestyof sorts, an amnesty which both recognizeshis abilities and his foreign policycontributions and guards against hischaracter and his domestic shortcomings.He should be allowed, that is, to finish theremainder of his term “on probation.” Byearly 1975 we and a chastened President willalready be looking ahead to the election andinauguration of a new Chief Executive. It is salutary to remind ourselves that theimmediate causes of trouble for the Nixonadministration have not been its financialshenanigans and farcical burglaries butrather the subsequent ill-conceived officialattempts to conceal the ramifications of suchcriminal misbehavior. (Does not this meanthat unless an administration is in theposition to proceed as effectively asPresident Johnson’s seems to have been incovering up the ramifications of the BobbyBaker scandal, it is far safer not to try atall?)I am reminded, * by the crowd ofincompetents around Mr. Nixon at the timeof the Watergate burglary, of the crowd ofincompetents around Mr. Kennedy at thetime of the Bay of Pigs invasion. ThatKennedy crowd exhibited the reckless side ofDemocratic crusading. This Nixon crowdexhibited the seamy side of Republican law-and-ordering.We continue to pay a high price for the 1961Bay of Pigs debacle. Indeed, was not the 1972Watergate burglary team itself, with itsdedicated Cuban-American participants andwith its absurd campaigns againstsubversion, rooted in the 1961 debacle? Itshould be emphasized, on the other hand,that little damage would have been done tothe country by the amateur efforts of theNixon crowd if they had never been exposed.Perhaps, however, this chance exposure canbe somewhat helpful if it induces us both tocut a long-exalted presidency down toconstitutional size and to reform our overly-permissive election laws.

In addition to being chairmanof the department of chemistry from 1963until this year, he headed from 1961 to 1964what was then the physical sciences sectionof the College. It was re-organized into acollegiate division in 1966, with RobertPlatzman as master and Wayne Booth asdean of the college, following the brief reignof acting dean Edward H. Levi.Nachtrieb recalled changes in the Collegeduring his experience with it. He noted thatyears ago, the College required its studentsto pass comprehensive exams in diverseareas of learning, and that the number ofthese exams had swelled to 13 in the late1950’s. A series of reassessments andredefinitions of the aims of general educationbegan under chancellor Lawerence Kimptonand led eventually to today’s common core and second quartet requirements.Despite the demands of budgetaryconcerns, Nachtrieb has ideas in store for-curricular improvements. He would like, forinstance, to see a course on the physicalchemistry of solutions, which he thinks willbe particularly useful to biology students.Another major concern he expressed wasthe elimination of needless overlap in courserequirements, such as the repetitiveexposure of chemistry majors tothermodynamics from both physics andphysical chemistry courses. “Knowledge isgrowing,” he said, pointing out the need toeconomize student and factuly time.Nachtrieb added that he was relativelysatisfied with requirements for non-sciencemajors, but complained of a lack ofacceptable second-year science courses(beyond common core) for such students.Courses such as organic chemistry, hecommented, are “too professionallyoriented” for non-majors.In general, Nachtrieb would like to see“more collegiality” in the physical sciencesdivision. “We specialize too quickly,” hecautioned, and stressed the need to “see thewhole of science.” He mentioned thepossibility of programs such as a division¬wide lecture series to help alleviate thisproblem. NACHTRIEB: Professor Norman Nachtrieb, new master of the physical sciencescollegiate division.Ombudsman's autumn caseload risesBy LUIS NIETOThe autumn quarter has seen an increasein the number of cases normally handled bythe student ombudsman in previousquarters. Paul Yovovich, the current studentombudsman and a fourth-year student in theCollege, attributes this increase to a varietyof factors.There are, of course, some obvious factors.Every autumn new students have their firstencounter with the University. Somewhere along the line, they become entangled in orbewildered by the procedures involved inrunning a university. Also, students in theUniversity have a tendency to express moreinterest in the University at the beginning ofthe academic year. This interest tends todecline as the year progresses.In addition to these factors, Yovovichattributes the increase partly to the fact thathe has tried to remain highly visible.

They range from somevery complicated problems to relativelysimple ones. (Yovovich, however, stressesthat no problem brought to his office isconsidered trivial.) So far this quarter,several cases have dealt with students whowere dissatisfied with courses or someaspect of the courses.The usual procedure in such a case is tocontact the professor or the division masterwith the problem. If only a specific studentand a professor are involved, Yovovich willusually attempt to get them together todiscuss the problem.“Students often don’t realize professorsare as approachable as they really are.”Other typical cases have involved students’ encounters with bureaucraticbranches of the University. These includesuch things as helping a first-year studentget his ID picture taken or trying to resolve aproblem of lost library books. One casewhich was just recently closed involvedstudent complaints about the inavailabilityof Xerox machines.Yovovich inevitably ends up dealing withalmost every aspect of student life at theUniversity. He says, “I look at each problemas if it was a major problem whether itconcerns one or 100 people.”He attributes the strength of the office tothe respect which it receives from theUniversity community, especially thestudents. “For the ombudsman to beeffective the students must feel that if theycome here someone will at least attempt tohelp them. Sometimes the student needs arefuge, I hope we provide that.”University insurance plancheaper than regular policyBy DAVE MASONThe University offers a limited Blue Cross- Blue Shield plan of group hospital insurancein an effort to provide the best possiblehealth coverage at a reasonable premium.Adopted in the fall of 1969, the present planis used by many students, especially firstand second year under-graduates, sincesome form of group hospital insurance ismandatory under University policy. Theplan, which carries a quarterly premium of$15, is included with registration materialgiven entering students. It operates on aquarter to quarter basis.Comparable year long coverage for aprivate individual under age 30, comes toapproximately $158. The student plan isdivided into two parts: the Blue Shield fordoctor’s fees and the Blue Cross for hospitalexpenses.The Blue Shield plan, which pays up to 80per cent of doctor’s fees, includes coverageof surgical service or operative and cuttingprocedures as well as medical care forillness re (in this case payment is made onlyto the attending physician). Also comingunder the plan are emergency care and x-rayservice within 72 hours of an accident as wellas x-ray service for correction of fracturesand severe dislocations, and anesthesiologyfor other than local anesthesia.Conditions not covered under the planinclude obstetrical care(except in case of anemergency operation), x-rays not necessaryfor hospital care, and normal checkup ordiagnostic examinations (includinglaboratory, EKG and other diagnostic work).In addition, any assistants, eye care, or bloodtransfusions are not paid for by Blue Shield.The same is true of consultations, house or office calls, and plastic surgery. Most minoroperations are not covered, either.The Blue Cross part of the plan covershospitalization. In order to be eligible forpayment a subscriber must be in such acondition that he is unable to leave thehospital for any medical reason. While in thehospital, all dressings, radiology,laboratory, anesthesia, drugs, biologicalsera (except blood plasma), basalmetabolism examinations, and oxygen arepaid for.The plan also pays for a semi-private roomand food. If needed, a nurse will be providedfor thirty days. Areas not covered under theplan are outpatient services unrelated tohospital care,- testing, observation,ambulance service, braces, appliances, orother special equipment. Operating andfracture room costs, however, are providedfor.The plan can be terminated by Blue Cross -Blue Shield at any time with thirty daysnotice. It may also be terminated if amember fails to inform Blue Cross - BlueShield of a change in status, such asmarriage, adoption, military service,divorce. Under the plan, the University paysfor the first two days at Billings Hospital intote, following which Blue Cross - Blue Shieldbegins benefits which continue for the next120 days. This interval is followed by a 90 daygrace period. If, during this * time, asubscriber is readmitted to the hospital dueto a relapse or complication of his illness,benefits are paid cumulatively. Allhospitalization benefits terminate after 120days have expired. If the 90 day period hacexpired, or if readmission within this time isdue to a different illness, the member isentitled to the full benefits of the plan.The Chicago Maroon—Friday, November 30, 1973—3LETTERS TO THE EDITORReply to Farah IV k-. -’ '* 3 r%' ?■ > ■ . *Muhammad Farah, in his letter ofrebuttal, allowed us to see for a moment thereal man hiding under the disguise of aradical anti-colonialist.

Let usmake no mistake about this kind of poison.Those who live by the sword should not besurprised when they are struck by thesword, but rather they cry “imperialistaggression”.

Saudi Arabia, and Syria.Farah’s racism is most clearly revealed in his invidious devision of Jews into radical(his “good old niggers”) and the non-radicaLones. Those so-called radicals, stuffed withvulgar, radical, and quasi-Marxist, Maoist,or Guevaraist, idiocies would do well to readthis self-proclaimed radical’s definition orlitmus test of radicalism is. It is nothingmore than tire bloodthirsty demented cry ofa savage, racist thug who craves for newhuman sacrifices. Only this time he calls hisaltar national liberation instead ofLebensraum. If this be radicalism thank GodI’m not a radical. Farah and his fellow-travelers might do well to consider what onegreat radical has said of this kind ofthinking;. “All:, these nations of freebarbarians look very proud, noble, andglorious at a distance but onlv come nearthem and you will find that they, as well asthe more civilised nations, are ruled by thelust of gain, and only employ ruder and morecruel means.” (Engels, the Northern Star,1/ 22/ 1848)Stephen BlankFarah repliesto StephensThe gadfly by Jerome Stephens demon¬strates once again that the most damningindictments of Israel are uttered in itsdefense. Mr. Stephens states that Herzlaccepted Uganda “only because every otheravenue had failed and the situation ofEuropean Jewry grew daily moredesperate.” He adds that “it was discoveredthat the whole plan and allotted area wasunfeasible.” It does not occur to Mr.Stephens to question England’s right to offer,nor the Zionists’ right to accept, the land ofanother people. He simply assumes the whiteman’s right to colonize Africa and Asia. Healso seems to justify Jewish colonialism inparticular by referring to European per¬secution of the Jew. Had the Jews carved aJewish state out of Germany after theholocaust, this logic would be compelling.But as justification for the colonization ofUganda or Palestine, it is about as con¬vincing as the French claim that Algeria wasas French as Normandy.Mr. Stephens points out that until 1947, allJewish land in Palestine had been bought, not expropriated. True, but as I stated in myeditorial, this land only amounted to 5.67 percent of Palestine. And even this land wasbought from absentee (real ones) ownersand entailed the forcible eviction of peasanttenants. As for Jews being a majority in the- Jewish state created by the partition, that.too is true. i;But the ratio was ap-proximateively 51% per cent Jewish and 49%per cent Aral?, ps compared to 33% per centJewish and 67% per cent Arab in Palestine asa whole. Note also that the partitionresolution stipulated that no Palestinian wasto be evicted from his home or land.As for my “waxing eloquent” over Israeliterrorism, I do not deny its Arab coun¬terpart. But what I object to, is that when oneIsraeli dies, there is lamentation and rage inAmerica and Europe. But when over 100Arab civilians in an airplane are killed byIsrael, there is silence.\ I am not an anti-semite, Mr. Stephens, anymore than are Noam Chomsky, I.F. Stone,Barry Rubin or Rabbi Berger—all of whomhave recognized the colonialist factor inZionism. As for I.F. Stone’s being “myhero,” indeed he is, Mr. Stephens. He is oneof the few profoundly decent human beings Ihave encountered in America. As a Jew, heloves Israel. As a radical, he condemns it.Were I in his position, I am not sure that Icould face this delemma as courageously ashe has. I know of no finer man than I.F.Stone.I would like to conclude by remarking thatsince publication of my gadfly on Palestine, Ihave received some very polite threats frompeople claiming to represent the universityand some not so polite threats from peopleclaiming to represent the Jewish DefenseLeague. I now understand why Americansknow so little about Palestine.Muhammad FarahSupport for FarahIn the “Gadfly” section of the Nov. 27,1973issue of the Maroon, Jerome Stephensreproaches the Maroon for publishing“psuedo-radical mendacity cloaking itself inquotation-mongering, lies, distortions andanti-semitism.” This is a vicious attack onMr. Farah’s eloquent statement of the justPalestinian cause (The Maroon, Nov. 16).HELP!

Stephens’ “verification efforts,” presumablyof Mr. Farah’s valid evaluation of Israel as acolonial state, are nothing but a self-indulgent orgy of falsification andirrelevance. That the Zionists contemplatedthe temporary colonization of Uganda (and,incidentally, Cyprus and other areas) asibases from which they would eventuallycolonize Palestine is an indisputable,chistorical fact. (The Complete Diaries ofTheodore Herzl, ed. R. Patai, Vol. 1498 andother pages). The Zionists rejected this idea,according to Stephens himself, either*because it was “unfeasable,” or “because ,they were Jews with a millennium-old at-itachment to their homeland,” that is to say,Zionists who insisted on colonizing Palestinerather than Uganda. Apparently the rights of;the indigenous inhabitants of these areaswere never considered in the Zionistschemes, which betrays their colonialistnature.The fact that a minority of Jews owned 5.7 'percent of the land in 1947 is supposed tofalsify, according to Stephens’ incrediblelogic, Mr. Farah’s factual statement that theZionists expropriated the remaining per¬centage in 1948. While he condemns the at¬tempt of the Arab states to resist thisaggression, on the baseless argument thatthey had no ethnic ties with the Palestinians,he cites the treatment of minorities in thesestates as somehow offsetting Zionist crimesin Palestine. As for the valiant attempts ofthe Palestinians themselves to resistdisplacement, these are considered by him tobe “Arab terror” and “rioting.”Therefore, since all of Jerome Stephens’arguments are either false, or irrelevant,they ultimately confirm Mr. Farah’s thesisthat Israel is a colonial-settler state based onthe expulsion of the Palestinian people andthe expropriation of their land.Saleh Omar,University of Chicago.White PhonesUpon reading your timely account in theNovember 13 Maroon of the robbery thatoccurred in front of Cobb Hall on Sunday,November 11, the Security officers whoapprehended the suspects were quick topoint out to me that your story did notsufficiently emphasize the victim’s use of theemergency telephone.

While I am doubtful whetherFarah deserves all the controversy he hascreated, I think these most recent distortionsshould also be refuted.Farah relies mainly on statements madeby Theodore Herzl in order to substantiatehis false claim that Zionism is a colonialistmovement. He never stops to ask himselfwhether this procedure is justified. WhileHerzl had a major role in the founding of theZionist movement, he died in 1904, long beforethe institutions of Israel took their presentform. The dominant influence since thebeginning of the century has not been Herzl’s“general” or "political” Zionism, but labor Zionism, which historically has not been atall colonialist.Since it is important to dissociate Zionismfrom Herzl’s admittedly colonialiststatements, let us examine whether Israeldisplays the characteristics of a colonialistpower, a “little England.” First, colonialistpowers are based on the institution of privateproperty and a dominant capitalist class.Israel’s land, on the other hand, is largelyowned by the nation as a whole, itsagricultural output is produced essentiallyby communal and co-operative settlements,and its industrial output is made up to anunusual extent by industries controlled by anational labor union. While Israel may not(yet) be a socialist country, it hardly ful-'fills the requirements of a historicallyrelevant definition of colonialism.Second, colonialist nations tend to beexpansionist. Farah and others of similaropinions point to the occupied territories as “proof” of Israel’s supposed“expansionism.” Not only do they neverrefute the counter-claim that the lands havebeen held only to induce the Arabs tonegotiate, and that without holding on to theterritories Israel could have no hopewhatsoever of bringing a settlement of anykind, but they fail to explain why, if Israel isGADFLIESexpansionist, it always waits until it is eitherbeing attacked, blockaded, or about to beattacked to launch another “expansion”. IfIsrael were expansionist, it wouldpresumably have launched a whole series ofwars against the Arab nations, sincethroughout the last twenty years it hascertainly been in a position to win suchterritories. If Israel were expansionist, itThe War is in the Mideast, not here.', By STEVE KONTOSI was mystified, to say the least, byJerome Stephens’ response to MuhammadFarah’s views of the conflict in the MiddleEast. His unrestrained epithets provided himwith ths most equitable excuse for hisoutburst— passion, or should 1 say “anirresistable compulsion.” must haveovercome his rationality (“Comrade Farah’sdiatribe is another in the long and tedious lineot pseudo-radical mendacity cloaking itselfin quotation-mongering, lies, distortion andanti-semitism”). Suffice it to say that hisvicious attack on Mr. Farah was in no wayjustified, and certainly it did nothing tocontribute to a constructive discourse uponthe problem.More important, though, than hisindiscriminate rhetoric was the nature of hisrebuttal. Let me begin by listing hisimportant points; having spoken first ofUganda he went on to contend that it was theneighboring Arab states which initiated thewar in 1948; he then raised doubts as towhether these nations actually stood to losesomething by the partition of Palestine; hebrought up the matter of Arab terrorism(1920-1972); he asserted that oppression inArab countries exceeds Israeli oppression ofthe Palestinians; he claimed that the 1967war was launched by the Arabs, that Arabcharges of Israeli agression were examples| of the “Nazi Big Lie Technique’’ and the “Stalin School of Falsification”; he furtherstated that the most recent war “was anattempt to recover by force and blackmailwhat was previously lost due to the Arabstates own agression.” I’m afraid I failed tosee how these “facts,” whether true or not,constituted an argument against Mr.Farah’s discussion of the injustice thatPalestinian Arabs have suffered at the handsof Zionists in Israel. So what if Arabgovernments are oppressive—does this tell usanything about ISKAELI oppression? No.Public hangings in Iraq do hot make any lesstrue or any less wrong the fact that theIsraeli government has razed entire Arabvillages and dispersed their inhabitants, thatthere are 1 1/ 2 million Palestinians living inrefugee camps unable to return homebecause of Jewish settlers on their lands.Because Arab governments have committedcrimes against their people - are ,thesegrounds to dismiss crimes perpetratedby theIsraelis? And what then, do the 1967 and 1973wars, not to mention the “Stalinist School ofFalsification” have to do with the plight of thePalestinians other than the fact that these twowars have swollen the refugee population byanother 300,000?My point is really very simple; IF Mr.Stephens wished to discuss Arab terrorismand oppression AND if he thought himselfobliged to answer Mr. Farah’s article on the injustice that Palestinians have suffered atthe hands of the Israelis, he should havelimited himself to the points raised by Mr.Farah. The two approaches are notcommensurate, and the attempt to integrateboth of them has done nothing to further theprogress of a discussion. In fact, within thiswhole series of articles I have seen onlylengthy expositions and monologues, but noreal dialogue of questions and answers thatmight take us farther than just our individualpoints of view.I still wonder what Mr. Stephens hoped toaccomplish by his long-winded harangue.Did his article in fact help to shed some lighton the situation? Do we who have read anyone of these articles have a clearer idea ofthe conflict in the Mid-east and its respectivesides, have we become the better for readingthese, have we learned anything? Thus far, Ireally don’t think so. If we are indeededucated as we claim to be here, oughtn’t wehandle the situation in a way that mightjustify the $12,000 and no small amount ofsweat spent in attending this university? Ihope that those who feel committeed andknowledgeable enough to comment on theMiddle East (or anything else for thatmatter) also can see themselves as beingabove the verbal sniping that has been goingon these past few weeks. The war is in theMid-East, not here, and it would best be leftthat way.NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY PRESSWAREHOUSE BOOK SALEDecember 7, 8, 9 10 a.m. - 6 p.rrvDiscounts up to 90%Africana - Literature - PhilosophyArt - Social Sciences BOOK WITHEVERY $10PURCHASE1735 BENSON • EVANSTON^Clark & Benson, 1 Vi blocks north of Davis Street stops onCTA el end Northwestern R.R.

Certainly anexpansionist power would not have beensatisfied with the desert and hills nowpresently occupied. Finally, if Israel wereexpansionist, it would have heavily settledthe territories occupied since 1967. Yet only afew, largely defensive settlements have beenset up. Israel desires as additions to itsterritory only the formerly Jordianian sectorof Jerusalem, to which Jews had been deniedaccess since 1948, and whatever minorchanges are necessary to make a previouslyindefensible border (that which existedsubsequent to 1949 and before 1967)somewhat more defensible. All other landsare viewed by the majority in Israel merelyas bargaining points.The hypothesis that Israel is expansionist,imperialist, or colonialist should be testedlike any other hypothesis: by looking atits implications. I believe I have listedsome ot those implications above, and haveshown how they do not square with reality. Itis up to Farah to dispute these essentiallyfactual claims.Farah claims that Zionism “entailed” the“elimination of the indigenous population”. Iam glad Israel’s leaders never felt that to bethe case. On the contrary, while the GrandMufti of Jerusalem and other Arab leadersurged the Arabs to leave Palestine in 1948,the Jewish community ( for example, theworkers’ council of Haifa) pleaded with theArabs to stay. While Jews were driven out ofthe Arab lands and persecuted if they stayed,the Arabs in Israel enjoy all the rights of allcitizenship and the highest standard of livingin the Middle East. While the Arab nationshave kept the Arab refugees bottled up incamps in abject proverty, Israel hasrepeatedly stated its willingness torepatriate the refugees as part of a peacesettlement. While the Arab nations kept Jewsfrom entering Jerusalem and other areas ofreligious importance while they occupiedthose areas (contrary, incidentally, to the1948 UN partition plan, Israel has allowedfree access to Arabs across the JordanRiver. Are these the characteristics of aninhumane, racist nation? It appears that thereal racists are the totalitarian Arabgovernments!Pointing out the injustices perpetrated bythe Arab governments, of course, in no wayproves the justice of Israel’s existence; nordo the acts of the Arab governments deny thejustice of ffie Palestinians’ cause. But theseacts, consistently ignored by Farah andother, similar, propagandists, do cast doubton Farah’s presumed concern for peace andfreedom.ABORTIONLOWEST COSTIN THE AREA(WEEKDAYS)$100UP TO 12 WEEKS(312) 346-4345CALL 8 A M. to 8 P.M.CHOICE INCORPORATEDNON PROFITFAMILY PLANNING SERVICEJAMESWAYPETERSONMOVING & STORAGEr „ 646-4411Fall OR forvd,i 646-1234 free estimatesCompletePre-Planned Moving ServiceLocal e Long Distance • Packing • CratingImport-ExportContainerized StorageFormerly ot Gonorol Office59th & Kills 12655 So.

Has not th«- self-righteous Nixonadministration beer sufficiently exposed,humiliated and even crippled? Do we darecontinue to play with fire?Responsible leadeis of the country (ing<»\ernment and out) should, it seems to me,make some such appeal as this to Americanpublic opinion:We play with fire if we use, or appear touse. the courts and congressionalcommittees to second-guess the Americanelectorate, especially when its verdict is asmassive as it was in the 1972 election. Thatelection, we should remember concluded with about as honest a count as any we havehad in recent years, despite the misguidedefforts of the overfinanced and underbrainedCommittee to Reelect the President. It islikely to be suspected and hence resented,when public passions cool, that theimplacable critics of Mr. Nixon eagerlyexploited one last chance to ‘get’ him. Mr.Nixon is indeed a man who makes it easy (ifnot even fashionable) to dislike him. Thedepth of the animus against him is reflectedin the fact that not even a spectacularMideast war or the unprecedented disgraceof a vice-president can long keep presidential‘scandals’ out of the headlines. But thetemptation to settle old scores with Mr.Nixon should be resisted, lest new and evenmore serious grievances be created withwhich we will all have to live for ageneration.“We play with fire if we ever establish inthis country the precedent of using aCongress dominated by one political party toundermine by plausible threats ofimpeachment an administration of anotherparty.

There are forus advantages in having fixed terms ofoffice, especially as protection for thosepresidents who are obliged to sacrificepopular support while pursuing the commongood. (The experience of President Lincolnin disciplining his generals comes to mind, asdoes that of President Truman after he firedthe temporarily popular but clearlyinsubordinate General Douglas MacArthur.)That is, we don’t have, nor are we likely todevelop soon, the pervasive social checks ona volatile public opinion which are needed tomake parliamentary government workresponsibly.“We play with fire if we allow ourtelevision-heightened taste for theatricalexcesses to influence our politics. We thepeople are on the verge of believing thatnothing is significant if it is not outlandish.Are we compensating ourselves, by stagedexperiments in impeachment, for the boringcharacter both of the 1972 election and of theNixon administration? And, even moreimportant, are we using a dramatichounding of the President as a means ofpurging ourselves of the killing we shouldnever have permitted in Vietnam? Howeverthat may be, we should moderate our feveredpublic discussion and thereby make lesslikely any recourse to foolish measuresaboard or at home by a desperate Presidentor by his indignant critics.“In short, the fire which threatens to getour of hand should be deliberately coveredup and smothered, lest unrelenting politicalwarfare and demagogic manipulation of theConstitution become routine among us.”This is, it seems to me, the sort of publicappeal that responsible leaders, with theconcurrence of a repentent President, shouldmake to the mature citizens of this country —an appeal which recognizes shortcomingsand mistakes and, if need be, evencorruption in high places. Impeachment, itshou! • never be forgotten, is not intendedprin arily to punish past misdeeds but toprev *nt future misgovernment. The politicalheal) o,f thje country always depends on sensible Congressional determinations as towhich (if any) “high crimes andmisdemeanors” should be taken seriouslyfor impeachment purposes.The time to have talked seriously aboutpresidential impeachment, I should add, wasduring our ruinous involvement in theVietnam war, not after a President’ssecretary of state has been awarded theNobel peace prize. There is, after all, a limitto how seriously such crimes as burglaryshould be taken, even when they have beenaggravated by an attempted obstruction ofjustice.I should also add that everyone who isconcerned about the sanctity of the rule oflaw among us should be reassured that therewill be, within the five-year period providedby the statute of limitations, time enoughwhen a new administration takes charge inJanuary 1977 to expose and indict anyunpunished criminals of the 1972 presidentialcampaign. In the meantime, much morethan enough has already happened (withoutthe need for actual impeachment) to impressupon presidents, present and future, that thelaws of the land are not to be trifled with.However that may be, a responsible publicshould be concerned both about the moralfitness of its leaders and about a measuredresponse to revelations of moral failings.Thus, it should be recognized that theremay be, in the current demands forinvestigation and impeachment, aconsiderable amount of silliness and self-indulgence, if not even hysteria. There maybe as well too much of the political paranoiawhich has, for a quarter of a century,corrupted the crowd around Mr. NixonSome of Mr. Nixon’s crowd have long seenforeign subversion lurking behind everydomestic dissenter. Some of his critics, onthe other hand, now manage to see anincipent dictator even in a president who isvery much on the run. Both camps ofextremists should be counselled, along wiyhthe American people and the Americanpress, to “take it easy” — a most salutaryprescription for the perpetuation ofconstitutionalism in the United States.ffcjiit; Gijflt’ f * 7«» • ■"4’ J , .»*, i »* *J: lit .

Meyer, 70, has been associatedwith the University for the past 36 years. TheGerman born economist’s present plans areindefinite, though he may do some teaching in New Hampshire, where his familymaintains a farm.Meyer received his degree from theUniversity of Kiel in 1930. He was graduatedsumma cum laude with a thesis on “Criticaland Positive Contributions to the Theory ofAgricultural Cycles.” After spending twoyears as a research assistant at Kiel, Meyerbecame a research fellow at the Institute ofSocial Research, both at the University ofFrankfort on Main and in the Paris offices.The economist came to the University asan economics instructor in 1937. In 1942Meyer became an assistant professor andwas advanced to associate professor statusin 1946. Meyer became a professor ofeconomics in the College in 1965.In September 1968 Meyer continued toteach on deferred retirement. In the fall of1971, the professor became a universitytutor, teaching only one quarter of theacademic year.Meyer believes that professors may nothave done their duty to students. Speaking tohis “Religion and Politics: Conflicts andResolutions” class last Tuesday, Meyer toldhis students that the great problem of thepresent generation will be to overcome theconflicting loyalties of nationalism becauseof the need for world unity.

Bakalis.The latest decision, handed down by theU.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. onWednesday, will bring an estimated $17million additional federal education funds toIllinois. The favorable decision came in thePennsylvania vs. Weinberger suit which wasjoined by 10 other states, including Illinois.The state joined the action June 27,1973. OnJune 28, Judge Joseph Waddy issued apreliminary injunction freezing the funds.Judge Waddy further made it a class action,applicable to all states, whether they filedseparately or not.The money was appropriated by Congress,but then withheld, or “impounded”, fromspending by the Department of Health,Education and Welfare.

Hovde in Quantrell Auditorium Monday ashe delivered the final lecture of theHarpervent series. Dr. Hovde, a former deanof Columbia College currently serving asprofessor of English and director ofhumanities at Columbia, chose as his topicthe question of approaches to generaleducation in undergraduate curricula.Displaying a keen insight into the sensitiveUniversity of Chicago psyche, Hovdeendeared himself to his audience right off thebat by reminiscing at length on theillustrious histories of both Columbia andChicago. He maintained that the structure ofa university college is uniquely suited to thetask of generating innovative approaches toundergraduate education and cited asevidence of this the leadership of Chicago,Columbia, and Harvard in this field.After regaling the audience with numeroussuggestions of the general superiority ofthese few schools, Hovde proceeded toanalyze the progress of general education inthe United States in the last quarter century.The period lasting roughly from 1948 to1960 saw a considerable increase in the sizeof undergraduate institutions, according toHovde. This was coupled with an even more Rosenberger Medals. The committee■„ chairman will be D.J.R. Bruckner, vice-president for public affairs and director ofthe Center for Policy Study.The Medal award was established by Mr.and Mrs. Jesse L. Rosenberger in 1917 torecognize achievement through research, inauthorship, in invention, for discovery, forunusual public service, or for any ac¬complishment deemed of great benefit tohumanity.OperaA special performance of Puccini’s operaLa Boheme, which opened Wednesday nightat the Lyric Opera, will be given on Thursdaynight, December 13.The special performance, featuring tenorLuciano Pavarotti as Rudolfo and sopranoHelena Kotrubas as Mimi, will be at 8 p.m. atthe Civic Opera House, 20 N. Wacker Drive.The special performance is a non¬subscription concert, which means thattickets will be available to the public on afirst-come, first-served basis rather thanbeing reserved for Lyric Opera seatholders,as is the normal procedure. Since Lyric(thanks to occasional no-shows) is currentlyplaying to 103.5 percent of the capacity of theopera house, this is a once-in-a-season shotsignificant increase in the development ofgraduate programs, the demand for whichmultiplied enormously “since teachers hadto be provided for the yellow hordes of theyoung.”This proliferation of graduate programsresulted in a decline in the energies devotedto undergraduate education. Hovde listed asanother cause of this decline the“professionalization” of academic pursuitsas the nation began to insist thatacademicians produce “measurable”results, which also diverted attention fromcollege programs.Another change he noted in generaleducation over the years was the loss of acertain “harmony between the...curriculaand the society which was their context,” achange accomplished by the numerous socialupheavals of recent years.This neglect of undergraduate curricula iscoming to an end, however. Hovde observedthat “after twenty-odd years...a freshappetite is developing...” and significantinnovations have been conceived and arebeing implemented.One such development that Hovde foundparticularly exciting was the birth ofinterdisciplinary courses involving not onlyvarious departments within the college but for non-Lyric members to get tickets.The tickets to the December 13 per¬formance go on sale Monday at the CivicOpera House box office. Prices are $17.50 -$14.50 - $12 - $9 - $7.50 and $5.50, depending onwhere you want to sit.Dance on the MidwayOpening the Dance On The Midwayprogram of the University Extension (co¬sponsored by the Chicago Dance Foun¬dation) is the Bella Lewitzky Dance Com¬pany from California.

He cited two programsat Columbia in which the schools of law andmedicine were contributing facultyresources to undergraduate programsseeking to relate these professional fields toother pertinent disciplines. Chicago’s newPREL program (Politics, Rhetoric,Economics, and Law, known as “the liberalarts of the practical”) was mentioned as anexample of this approach.Hovde’s lecture ended with an explanationof his personal idea of what undergraduatecurricula should include.The undergraduate career, he said shouldbegin with a series of required coursesproviding students with a “commonality ofexperience” and an introduction to severaldisciplines basic to the pursuit of a broadeducation. He emphasized the importance ofcontinual re-evaluation of these courses inorder to ensure a consistent vitality and alsoto maintain faculty morale by encouragingparticipation in the designing of the courses.These required courses should stress theunderstanding of basic patterns andrelationships within a given subject ratherthan the simple memorization of a body offactsyears neglectedflom 0( tojukTHE WIDEST SELECTION OF GREETINGCARDS IN HYDE PARK• GIFTS • STATIONERY• PHOTO ALBUMS • PARTY SUPPLIES• GIFT WRAPPING SUPPLIES• CANDLES• PUZZLES• DESK ACCESSORIESSee Our Complete Line of BlackGreeting Cards1312 EAST 53RD STREET684-6322 WESLEYAN UNIVERSITYIsrael Spring Semester Program ’74a small independent program for15 students who are prepared to dowork in hebrew literature, fourperiod-courses, conducted inhebrew, include bible, talmud,medieval philosophy, and modernisraeli belle lettres. wesleyan creditstransferable, tuition and passage$1550. forward inquiries to:prof, jeremy swellingdept of religionwesleynn universitymiddletown, conn. 06457 Mite @/U(MwUCORNER OF HYDE PARK BLVD.L LAKE PARK AVE.IN THE VILLAGE CENTER(NEXT TO THE A&P)SERVING THE WORLD'SFINEST PANCAKESAll bettor mode from quality ingredients blended into au¬thentic recipes that hove been carefully collected end .«»**c*-ed from the very best of each country or area of origin.PANCAKES FROM THE WORLD OVERHOURS: 7:00 AM TO 9:00 P.M. 7 DAYS A WEEK1517 E.

Expectations of what theaudience will do run as high as expectationsof the Chicago orchestra’s musicianship. Asin the past, orchestra and audience lived upto their reputation. Shouts, screams, piecesof torn programs floating down from thebalconies, foot stamping, and later therhythmic, slow, European style clap¬ping—they were all there surging to a peakcurtain call (there were twelve in all).Then abruptly cut off by Solti himself whenhe grabbed the arm of concertmasterSamuel Magad and pulled him off stage withhim (the signal for the rest of the players tostand and walk off).Back home fine arts radio station WFMTinterrupted its usual programming, theMidnight Special, with an excited, proudreport of New York City’s response to theChicago Symphony. They had just receivedan excited telephone call fr om Carnegie Halltelling of that night’s re- ction.The history of this re ction dates back tothe CSO performance ol Rheingoid. Then theaudience did everything but jump out of thebalconies. The hall resembled a ticker tapeparade after they tore up their programsthat year. Mahler, Bruckner, and Wagner setNew York on end, drew rave reviews fromthe critics, and made Chicagoans sit up andtake notice of their year-round treasure.Management has described the or¬chestra’s "ours as “good for the prestige ofthe orchestra and the morale of themusicians.” This most recent con¬cert—probably Solti’s best with the ChicagoSymphony—certainly added points to thatprestige record. The feeling of elation ran high afterward for everyone.Especially the musicians. They say theyare tickled by the response, and they love toreturn each year to the East and the WestCoast. The audiences are good and ap¬preciative; the players, who keenly feel thiswarmth, bring something new and fine eachtime. Away from home they are not “oldhat”; instead, they are “something special.”And different audiences are not the routine“sleepy subscribers” fulfilling a socialobligation to support the Symphony.Carnegie Hall’s famed acoustics are yetanother reason the players love to return.They are the finest in the country. Andeverything sounds so different, so muchbetter there. Blend, tone, textures. Even theaudience applause. A man shuffling in his seat across the hall ’S part of the “sound-scape”. The musicians say playing on thatstage is a joy. Violinists claim they havenever heard basses and cellos at home theway they do there. Cellists find all choirs inthe orchestra clearer and more vibrant.For me, a Midwesterner, being in CarnegieHall was like being in a candy store for thefirst time. Being with the symphony on tourwas another treat. Just travelling to anothercity specially for a concert and having theopportunity to talk to musicians away fromhome was another unique experience. Allterribly hectic, exciting, and fun. Even theunorthodox registration at my hotel—Idropped my suitcase at the desk, signed theregister at precisely 7:44 p.m. (just 56minutes before “curtain time”), asked astranger to take the bag upstairs, and thenran the six blocks to Carnegie Hall just intime to join the crush of traffic and people on57th Street.The point of all this is that the listeningexperience was different there. Granted,every performance no matter how wellrehearsed is different every time. There isalways variation when music is live. Oneplayer even described Solti as demandingflexibility, as “doing more with the stickduring the performance than with wordsbefore,” as creating variety “with a good butslightly different performance each time.”But different walls, different people out therein the seats, and the knowledge that theperformance is in this instance really a one¬time thing—all this changes the vibes bet¬ween performer and audience.And the result? The Bach Suite No. 3 andthe Mahler Sixth (as well as the Eroica in theKennedy Center the next afternoon) soundeddifferent than they had in Orchestra Hall.For some elusive, inexplicable reason, theygave the best playing of the season for NewYork City.The New York concerts are sold out oncethey are announced. And their next ap¬pearance in May-Featuring Bartok’sBluebird's Castle with mezzo-sopranoTatiana Troyanos and.bass-baritone ZoltanKeleman—is already a sell-out. I wouldn’t besurprised to learn that New Yorkers arequeuing up for next season, as the ChicagoSymphony Orchestra will be taking the VerdiRequiem (with Leontyne Price, YvonneMinton, Luciano Pavarotti, and GynneHowell) and Strauss’ Salome (with BirgitNillson) to New York.Naturally, every detail of touring isplanned way in advance. The OrchestralAssociation works three years ahead. Staffworking on tours now have dates for 1975-76,programs for 1974-75, and finalarrangements for 1973-74 on their calendars.This year the spring tour will include athree-day visit to Dartmouth. Two weeks agothey returned to Storrs, Connecticut, bet¬ween appearances in Carnegie Hall. (Youmay be interested to know that last yearwhen they were there Solti had a cold andcouldn’t conduct; so that’s why the orchestrawas asked to return this time with SirGeorg.) Other pleasant and rewarding concerts have been given at University ofTexas and Burlington, VermontManagement describes the schools as “of¬fering the most poiite audiences" which are“most adaptable to the Chicago Symphonystandards of programming.” Present dayimpressarios are insensitive in some in¬stances. and they are having difficulty fin¬ding the resources to fund engagements.This is not true of the schools, where thesymphony finds good, appreciativeaudiences and the money to finance con¬certs.They do try to fill in with appearances insmall places whenever they can. This lasttrip permitted only one such appearance.Given the terms ot the contract and tne paceat which the musicians had been working,they had to have a free day off that week.One player described it as “the first real dayoff in about two weeks due to performanceand recording schedules.”And here we come to the real story oftouring, and the question, “What’s behind allthis glitter? For most it means hard workand fatigue—a drag—when much can gowrong with technical arrangements whileeverything must go right with performance.On tour musicians do a real day’swork—hard, exacting work—and aren’tpermitted any mistakes by “an egomaniacconductor”. On the plane to Washington aplayer told me that “tension runs high”,especially “when a strange bed the nightbefore or a clanking radiator or carousingneighbors in a hotel replace pleasant dreamswith insomnia and taut nerves.” Oldermembers feel little excitement—especiallywhen doing something as “old hat” asretracing their steps—and much boredomwith standard repertoire. For the newer onesit is much different. They would welcomemore rehearsal time (prohibitively ex¬pensive given the terms of the all-protectivecontract); the veterans just prefer to walkout there and play. But on tour that is justwhat happens. When I asked managementfor permission to attend a rehearsal, I wastold that they don’t rehearse, that they don’tneed additional rehearsal, AND that there isno time, no money for it. Yet, performancesdo spark and go right.What goes wrong? Plenty. In the pastthings have been lost, for instance. In¬struments (which are crated and sent bytruck), music, stands, wardrobes may notarrive on time. There was once a “come asyou are” performance when, instead oftheusual penguin tails the orchestra came onstage dressed in everything from jeans toBill Blass.Everyone who has anything to do withmaking the Chicago Symphony Orchestrago, goes.

Lucky ticket holders arrive atCarnegie Hall early to prolong the occasion.The disappointed spill out from the lobbyonto 57th Street hoping a stray ticket willturn up.This year’s first concert on November 14thwas a model of “eclectic programming”.After Weber’s festive Oberon Overature,Solti led the musicians in Hans WernerHenze’s recent Heliogabalus Imperator,Allegoria per Musica, and Beethoven’s ThirdSymphony (Eroica).It was a thoughtful, deliberate Eroica, withstrict attention to minute detail. Phrases,while carefully delineated, at times seemedstretched beyond their limits. But, as usual,power, nuance, and passion intermingledagreeably. An inspired performance.Good thing, too, because the Henze whichpreceeded it is not exactly a crowd pleaser.The CSO commissioned this piece for it’s 80thanniversary and world premiered it in Chicago a year ago. “Solti asked for a piecewhich would show off each group of the or¬chestra,” Henze said last year. The work is aconsistently interesting orchestralshowpiece. The writing for winds is ex¬cruciatingly difficult and involves quartertones, double, triple and quadruple stops.Needless to say, the CSO players handledtheir parts with aplomb.The work is a melange of older and moreavant garde devices and styles. Somepassages sound lyrical, amost structured,reminiscent of cabaret music or distortedrock. Other places seem wildly disjointedand random. Henze makes occasional use ofaleatoric technique, “where the playerreceives a handful of notes and appendsrhythms to them. He can vary these notes,play about with them, and you will never getthe same performance twice.”For this listener hearing the piece for thethird time, the percussion section stood out.The exotic array of instruments includeelephant bells, Japanese temple bells,African harp, cymbals, and miniature drums(con'f. or. page 4)DG4DUNGDYING IN DOCkGfGLLGR OWGLBy MEREDITH ANTHONYDeath, we are told, is increasinglyprevalent on TV and in the movies. In fictionit is elaborated at great length. In thenewspapers what is lost in detail is made upfor by a satisfying sense of authenticity. Itwould seem that of all the media, the onemost unsuited to present the topic to a jadedpublic is the theatre which has had to contentitself with mere psychological decay. Close-ups, trick shots and realistic gore are in theprovince of the cinema. Long verbalaccounts, once the messenger’s speeches inGreek tragedy, are now exclusively theproperty of Book of the Month. And to viewith the newspaper for authenticity wouldcreate seemingly costly and ticklishcasting problerns.Nevertheless, the University Theatre’srecent and most ambitious project has beennothing but a revival, so to speak, of stageddeath. Everyman, the 15th century Dutchmorality play, is a primer on dying thatbecomes, in the hands of director NicholasRudall, both immediate and meaningful. Themedieval pageant begins in the traditionaldanse macabre mode as Death, havingreceived instructions from God, puts forth onsinister skeletal claw and touches theterrified and unprepared Everyman.Although Death sternly refuses to grantany man respite, Everyman, manages to ekenearly 45 minutes which he uses inillustration of the ars moriendl -- to confess, do penance, receive extreme unction, andmake a will leaving half his goods to the poorand half to the church.Mr. Rudall has taken full advantage of theopportunity for spectacle using to the full theGothic grandeur of Rockefeller Chape. TheChapel was lit by candles when the audienceentered. These were snuffed out by cowledfigures before the prologue. Anothermonk-like figure paced the center aisleswinging a censer Gregorian Chant soundedfrom a choir hidden behind the stage area.The lights dimmed and came up on a tableauof medieval revelers on stage as the preist(Donald Swanton) ascended to the pulpit todeliver the prologue in the form of a sermonto be illustrated by the subsequent action.God (the inimitable Kenneth Northcott),resplendent in gold and white, held forthfrom aloft - from the chapel choir left, to beexact -- and the bemused audience below'craned their necks appropriately to look athim as he made known his displeasure withEveryman. Death (Robert Hoover), in thetraditional black with his face also draped inflat black giving the eerie appearance of anempty hood, summons the unsuspectingEveryman (Gordon Cameron) mostimpressively.In the expanded moment between Death’sinitial summons and the descent into thegrave at the end, Everyman turns to each ofthings he has valued in life: fellowship (JoelCope), Kindred (Anna Gwin Pickens),Cousin (Mary Speers), and Goods (Carl Orland), and later to his faculties:Discretion, Five Wits, Beauty, and Strengthwho are played by the same actors, double¬cast respectively. These players weregoregously costumed by Judy Fink afterMedieval models of bankers and matrons.All that he has held dear fails him now, andhis Good Deeds (Kelly Nespor) he findswilling but too weak to assist him. In fact,she had been lying immobile throughout thefirst half of the play on the top plateau of themany-tiered stage, costumed in marblewhite, looking like a stone carving on asarcophagus. When she replies toEveryman’s plea the audience is startled,realizing that they, too, have been ignoringGood Deeds.Guided by Good Deeds’ sister, Knowledge(Ellen Clements), who must be taken asrepresenting not worldly or intellectualknowledge but acknowledgement of pastwrong-doing, Everyman is led to confess anddo penance in the form of a graphicallyexecuted self-flagellation. This revives andstrengthens his Good Deeds who is then ableto accompany him and plead for him beforeGod.The difficulties with this brilliantlyconceived production were, for the mostpart, technical ones. The lighting, at best,was barely adequate and was sometimespoor enough to be distracting and break thefragile mood. The stage, an exceptionallyinteresting design by Michael Gall, was too small for the action and the players did notmaneuver on it with ease. RockefellerChapel, unexcelled for atmosphere, presentsenormous technical problems. Theacoustical properties of the vast vault notonly include an echo, but also seem to raisethe pitch of the speakers voice, a trickparticularly damaging to Gordon Cameron’slovely musical tenor, Mary Speers’ soprano,and Anna Gwin Pickens’ lilting, high-pitchedBritish.Mr. Rudall’s production, and perhapsevery production of a play so far removedfrom the modern milieu, relies very much ona totality of effect that it suffersdisproportionately from minor difficultiesthat distract the audience’s attention. Mr.Rudall’s concept also aimed at a balancebetween ritual and realism, a combinationdictated by the stylized, symbolic action, andthe delicate characterization revealed in,thedialogue. The minor characters lacked astrong sense of this balance and vacillateduncomfortably between the formal andhuman aspects of their roles. The three mainfigures, however, Gordon Cameron, KellyNespor, and Ellen Clements, had a firmgrasp of both the allegorical and realisticaspects of their roles.The overall achievement is a fine one forthe University Theatre and the companionplay, T.S. Eliot’s Murder in the Cathedral,also to be staged in Rockefeller in the spring,is looked for with great interest.RepresentativeofUNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAGRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATIONwill be on campusThursday, December 6thGraduate Study InformationMBA, MS, and DBA programs in Business AdminstrationContact Career Counseling and Placement 753-3281sTORAGEInternational House Resident CouncilCoffeehouseLocated In the Basement of International House1414 E. 59th St. 753-2289Hours: Seven Nights a Week 9:30-12:30All Day Saturday 12:20 P.M.-12:30 A.M.Sunday 1:00-5:30 P.M.Huge Sandwiches, Drinks, Food, Music, Color TV WILL YOUR CAR STARTIN COLD WEATHER?GIT A TUNE-UP NOW!Visit our ServiceDept, for Tune-ups,Brakes, Slmonize,Storage & DeliveryGATEWAY GARAGE5508 Lake Park 241-6220Come to...ALL HANDMADE ITEMSBelt BagsSaddle BagsBattle BagsWine BagsBack Packs Brief CasesHead WarmersSheepskin JacketsLeather Jacketsand other originalideasSTUDENT DISCOUNT OFFICE WORK AVAILABLETypist, stenos, dictaphone o| arators: For in¬teresting jobs, Hyde Park persons apply, Suite631, Hyde Park Bank Building, 1525 E. 53rd St.2 or 3 days a week or a full week.

It wasmy first opening night experience, and atfirst it seemed strange to hear applause notfor the conductor, nor the singers, but for thesets. But every inch of Pier Luigi Pizzi’s setwas worth it. . ;In the “penthouse” garret of Marcello inParis we discover the young artist and hispoet friend Rodolfo. It is obviously winter foryou can see snow on the roofs of the buildingsthrough the skylight set in the slanted roof oftheir building. Around the rooms are variousobjects of survival: a wash bowl and pit¬cher, an iron stove—cold due to lack offirewood due to lack of money—an iron-frame bed, Marcello’s easel and paints, thesmall table at which Rodolfo writes. Theroom is by no means plain for the woodworkis beautiful. Of course the drapes around theskylight show their age, but when they aredrawn they adequately shut out the coldwinter air and gray light.I must say that the Act III setting of thesquare and the Cafe Momus is not much of animprovement over other cafe and villagesquare scenes. It is a pleasant setting for theChristmas day frolics of the four Bohemes(Rodolfo, Marcello, Colline, and Schaunard),Mimi and Musetta.But then, after a long intermission, thecurtain rises revealing the set for Act III.(Rarely do you hear an opera audience gaspin unison.) The stage is dim, it is early on agrey wintry morning. Is that snow on theground? The trees are bare and light falls onthe snow (well, it is white) from an inn atstage left. Upstage we see a toll gate. Thevillage slowly awakens as folks enterthrough the toll gate on their way to market.As the square clears and Rudolfo appearsseeking out Marcello (staying at the inn) totalk about Mimi’s illness and his inability tocare for her you begin to notice the footprintsin the snow. You realize with a shock thatthey are making those prints in snow on astage. The realism of the scene is furtheredas Rodolfo and Mimi reunite and pledge toremain together until Spring while a lightsnowfall gently softens their outlines andadds a white ruff to their coats. It is truly anexquisite scene.* The fourth act, again after a long in¬termission (for snowplows?), opens inMarcello’s garret where he and Rodolfo aretrying to work but can’t due to the memoriesof their lovers whom they have left. Whilethey try to comfort each other with storiesand songs, many opera glasses can be seenscrutinizing the walls and sparse furnishingsof the garret, fascinated by its realism.Of course the scenery wasn’t the onlyreason for the Lyric production’s success.The direction and acting were not onlysuperb, but also veristic. Most of the singers were new to Lyric but they fit the charactersextremely well . (A fat starving Bohemewould not have been In character.) All lesbohemes were trim and r Mimi seemeddelicate. u.<; ' ^The realism with which the story of thestruggle for life and love is portrayed hashelped make and continues to make LaBohemet the success it is.Puccini’s librettists, the fire-brand LuigiIllica and the slower working but moreprolific Giuseppe Giacosa. Both wrote thelibrettos for Puccini’s great succeses, Tosca,Madama Butterfly, and of course LaBoheme. Illica was a journalist, a writer ofpoetry and of comedies, and the veteran ofover fifty operatic libretti. His talents werepaired well with those of Giacosa, a writeralso familiar with life as lived by all classesof people. His writing ranged from travelbooks and poetry to prose and verse dramasand libretti. Together they drew characterswith depth, personality, life and humanism.For La Boheme they derived their charac¬ters from Henri Murger’s La Vie de Boheme,but giving life to a novel’s characters onstage requires starting over with only theidea of the original characters. Puccini’slibrettists were estraordinarily skilled at justthat.The other feature which makes La Bohemethe soul-wrenching drama it is in Puccini’sscore. One example will suffice, for all hismusic is as great. The last chords of thefourth act, those that are muted as Mimi diesand increase to spears of grief as Rodolforealizes she has died and falls weepingupon the meager bed where his heart lies, theysay it all. And once you’ve seen the lovers,followed their struggles, and felt thosechords driye through you, you relive theexperience whenever you hear excerptsfrom the opera—with or without the vocal.That is the magic of Puccini’s music.Now the only reason left not to go and enjoythe first birthday celebration of Lyric’sproduction of La Boheme is the rotten masstransit (so write your congressman, join acarpool, and go see it!). Performances willbe at the Lyric Opera House on December 1,3,7,11, and 15. All performances will begin at8:00 p.m. with maestro Bruno Bartoletti atthe podium.

This is your very last chance. The rulescan't be twisted any more. If you don'tenter the Contest Contest before 5 PMon Monday, you will never be able toenter it.

Prey has long been one of themost distinguished interpreters of theGerman liede. Possessor of a beautiful voice,is purely tonal terms, he has never beenattracted to the “heavier” roles of thebaritone repertoire. His major operaticappearances have generally been in Mozart.Otherwise, his major strengths have been injust the sort of repertoire that he will presentnext Sunday.After beginning the recital with a Mozart“mini-cantata,” “You Who Honor theImmense Universe of the Creator,” K. 619,Herr Prey will then get down to the heart ofthe matter with Beethoven’s An die FemeGeliebte, Op. 98. Beethoven is certainly notknown as a composer of songs, although hehad a capacity for lyricism that is onlysurprising because it comes in conjunctionwith so many other abilities. That is,thinking of Beethoven as a composer oflieder is like realizing that Golda Meir is alsoa damn good cook. The Geliebte cycle is theonly set of Beethoven songs to gain anycurrency at all, for reasons which will beobvious next Sunday.The Beethoven will be followed byBrahms’ Four Serious Songs, a very late setof songs to texts from the Books ofEcclesiastes and Corinthians. They wereprobably inspired by the death, in 1896, ofClara Schumann, wife of Robert and a greatpianist herself. She is the woman Brahmswould have married if she hadn’t adopted therole of Professional Widow after Robert’sdeath.At any rate, these songs are totally unlikeBrahms’ numerous settings of German folksongs. They have much greater depth andnobility, looking back to Brahms’ earlyGerman Requiem, and have an alegiacfeeling not unlike Mahler’s Das Liede von derErde, for all the differences in musical stylebetween the two composers.The last part of Herr Prey’s program will be devoted to songs of Karl Loewe. No doubtyou are wondering who Karl Loewe is. Fromwhat I can gather, he is an early Germanromantic composer, born in 1796, who wrotein a more or less Schubertian idiom. He wasalmost exclusively a composer of songs andoperas, and a great deal of the songs (368, tobe exact) are ballads, that is, songs with anarrative structure and a dramaticmovement. He certainly showed taste in hissources -- five of the seven ballads onSunday’s program are to texts by Goethe orFontane. The most interesting is the settingof Goethe’s famous “Erlkoenig” (“The EarlKing”), which was also set by Schubert. Noless a personage than Donald F. Tovey hassuggested that Loewe’s setting has definitepoints of superiority over Schubert’s.In any event, it is good to see an artist ofPrey’s stature program a substantial sampleof material by a relatively unknowncomposer such as Loewe. This is the onlyway taste can expand. I am reminded ofRudolph Serkin’s efforts on behalf of thepiano music of Max Reger, which have atleast led me to try to discover what a personwith Serkin’s evident taste finds in MaxReger. One has to believe that Prey reallybelieves that Loewe’s songs are worthwhile,however. The great conductor Karl Muckused to present music he didn’t like becausehe thought it should be heard. After aperformance of Schoenberg’s Five Pieces forOrchestra, he remarked, “I can’t tell you ifwe’ve played music tonight, but we playedevery one of Schoenberg’s notes, exactly aswritten.” Now, Muck’s attitude is no doubt apraiseworthy one, but it might also result inperformances of Schoenberg’s music thatwould not be representative of its peculiarpower and coherence, and could not be calledgiving the music a “fair hearing.” It isproblems such as this that make the questionof “artistic responsibility” such a difficultone.But even if Loewe is not to your taste, nextSunday will provide a chance to hear somebeautiful singing, plus two masterful songcycles by great composers. That should beenough to take your mind off exams. Hermann Prey, baritone, appears at theAuditorium a week from Sunday.CARNEGIE CONCERT(con't from page 1)(tom-toms). According to Henze the sound isArab, Syrian, African, and Latin American --a veritable kaleidescope of strong, complexrhythmic pulses, sometimes sliding easilyone to the next, but more often changing withthe abruptness of a lion’s roar (the scoreeven calls for one).The piece evoked as many boos as cheers.Henze, present to take bows, doesn’t mindboos; he almost relishes them. “At leastpeople didn’t just sit there, but reactedstrongly,’ he said in a radio interview here.Though the work does show off the CSO togreat advantage, one could only admire Soltifor playing a contemporary work, sure tomeet with some disapproval. Also, it washeartening to hear a world premierereplayed the following year - so often worthypieces disappear after initial exposure.Deena Rosenberg was Classical MusicEditor for the Maroon from 1971 to 1973, is afree lance writer on the arts, and is currentlya musicology student at City College in NewYork City.

This weekend—last nightand tonight, to be more exact—David Grossreturns to try to repeat the success of hisformer appearance. Sharing the bill withhim will be one of the newest of the Chicagofolk bands, Redwood Landing. The fourmusicians (2 acoustic guitars, electric bass,and percussion) met at Lake Forest College,and have gradually begun to be known on thenorth side. This is their first south sideappearance.Next week, Sanctuary has lined up a threeday, three act orgy of music to close their fallseason. Thursday night will be T.S. HenryWebb, who is the smart money candidate forbeing the next discovery from the Chicagofolk school. Friday night negotiations are toosecret (read—up in the air) to reveal,but Saturday will bring the Chicago SlimBlues Band to campus. Tickets are $1.50 atthe door.Also at the Sanctuary is another importantitem - the petition to save the Amazingrace.The city of Evanston has hit them with acouple of law suits, in what can’t help but beinterpreted as a harassment attempt.Amazingrace, in the short time it has existed,has extablished an excellent reputation as aninnovative and high quality coffee house, andit would be a shame for it to be put out ofaction for a harassment charge.

This will open ghe Dance OnThe Midway program of the Arts On TheMidway events of the University Extension.Dance On The Midway, also known as the 8thChicago Dance Festival is co-sponsored bythe Chicago Dance Foundation, who in thepast has brought outstanding dance artists to what was previously known as the HarperDance Festival. This is the second year thefestival is being held at the University ofChicago Campus.Bella Lewitzky...“a legend turnedreal”—that’s what Clive Barnes of the NewYork Times said of Bella Lewitzky when sheand her company appeared for the first timein New York a couple of years ago. Beforethis East Coast debut, Bella Lewitzky’sname was indeed more of a legend thananything else. Her name was mentioned withgreat awe and admiration, and yet very fewoutside the West Coast and specificallyCalifornia had seen her perform. Herreputation as a magnetic stage personalitywas wide-spread and her teaching abilityrenowned. Ms. Lewitzky started her dancingcareer as a pupil then as an assistant to thelate Lester Horton, one of the pioneers ofmodern dance in this country, and himself alegend with regards to his dance and theatrical experimentations andinnovations. Dancing the roles that Hortoncreated for her, Ms. Lewitzky gained fameas an exquisite dancer and a superbtechnician. After she left Horton’s company,she stopped dancing for a while, devotingherself to being a mother, but continued tot.eaclh and it was then that she began todevelop methods of teaching dance that sheis now known for. In the early sixties, sheassembled a group of dancers to form acompany, and thereupon, launched herchoreographic career. Her New York debutwas hailed by every critic in that city, andher tours around the country attest to thefact that great dancing and choreographydoes not necessarily have to come out of NewYork City. The company has just come backfrom a tremendously successful Europenatour this past month with Ms. Lewitzkyreceiving outstanding reviews from thepress there. Ms. Lewitzky and her company, in additionto the Friday evening concert at Mandel Hallwill be conducting workshops and seminarson campus. On Wednesday, December 5,there will be two master classes in moderndance technique, (elementary, intermediateand advanced levels) from 5:00-6:30 p.m. atIda Noyes Hall followed by a jazz class at6:30-8:00. On Thursday, December 6, a freelecture on Music for Dance will be given byone of the company’s musical directors atnoon; and a ballet class (Mia Slavenskatechnique) at 5:00-6:30.

This revival is often less to Ibsen’scredit than at his expense. One recentcinematic Nora even insisted on rewritingher lines to reinforce the point that shethought was not made strongly enough.However the production of A Doll’s Houseat the Goodman Theatre aims at restoringthe original balance to the dramatic conflictsof a play whose imprtance far transcendsany mere topical polemics. Directed byexperienced Ibsen interpreter, TormodSkagestad, who is the artistic director of oneof Norway’s official state theatres, theGoodman production is not merely the storyof a woman who discovers that she’s marriedto an ass, but rather of a person who comes torealize that she doesn’t understand either thesociety in which she lives or herself.Skagestad’s avowed intention “to try to re¬ establish Helmer — to a certain extent, makehim plausible as far as possible” is suc¬cessful to a great degree, and it is largelythis new sympathy with Torvald Helmer thatputs the focus more than ever on thecharacter of hs wife, Nora. A woman wholeaves her husband after discovering thathe’s a fool is not difficult to understand evenin the context of a repressive society wheresuch things are not done lightly. But it is farmore interesting and important when awoman leaves a perfectly ordinary husbandwho does no more and no less than societyexpects from him. It is this more potentdrama that Ibsen wrote and that Mr. *Skagestad puts before us at the Goodman.It is with good reason that the role of Norais considered one of the most demanding. Anactress must convey, in the course of Nora’sdevelopment, two or even three differentwomen: Nora the little skylark of act one,the emotion-charged Nora of act two, full ofconflicting hopes and fears on the eve of theexposure of her secret, and the Nora of the final moments of act three, stripped of allillusions and left only with the grimrealization of how much she doesn’t know. Itis ru surprising, or even too disappointing,that the fine accomplished Shakespeareanactress, Carole Shelley, can only give us twoof these three Noras. Miss Shelley’s skylarkis shrill and hysterical and makes us grit ourteeth, but in acts two and three she takes onthe convincing note of desperation thatfinally amounts almost to madness. Sheembodies throughout the frantic energy thatkeeps her, like Nora in the Tarantella, just afew frenzied steps ahead of the music.Her final moments on stage, among themost dramatic in theatre history, reinforceSkagestad’s interpretation. This is not, in theperennial critical phrase, “the new Noraemerging”, but a woman bereft of all herformer beliefs, left only with the barestrength of will not to take them up again.Carole Shelley’s Nora is not a likable one, nora comfortable one, nor the one we expect, butit is a memorable one, and important.Philip Kerr as Torvald is immensely ef¬ fective. His performance is low-key andbelievable, and even when he does his mostindisputably base deed we can see it as aforgivable weakness and as the catylist butnot the cause for Nora’s departure.The supporting cast is, for the most part,more than adequate, and Jeremiah Sullivan,as Krogstad, is superb. His performancegives his villainy background an air ofnecessity which is absolutely essential to thisinterpretation where we must be left with noone to blame for the turn of events, neitherKrogstad, nor Torvald, nor Nora herself.The problem here is too deep and difficultto dismiss by blaming any person. Nor is theproblem of A Doll’s House solved by Nora’sdeparture. Her exit is not a triumphant oneand the slamming of the door does not have asatisfying finality. This is not easy en¬tertainment; it is great theatre.No one should miss thGoodman’s A Doll’sHouse. Even if you don’t agree with TormodSkagestad’s interpretation it is sure toprovoke you to rethink your own.UNIVERSITYANNOUNCESITS WINTER PRODUCTIONTHE FATHERBy August StrindbergGuest Directed ByLibby Appel Of The Goodman TheatreFeb. 15 through 19 in Mandel HallStudents, staff, and community people with or without ex¬perience in theatre are invited to open auditions and crewsign ups, and a meeting of the directors and staff of U T.Saturday December 8,1-5 p.m.Sunday December 9,1-5 p.m.in Mandel Hall5706 S.

Nevertheless,l feel prompted to answer Dave Kehr's replyto my article of November 2nd.First of all, I rrujst disclaim responsibilityfor, or at least authorship of, the title. Myintention was not to each "What Makes BadCriticism." My intention was simply to writea short satire of certain elements of con¬temporary film criticism. The satire took theform of a caricature, i.e., an exaggerationand distortiorrwith comic purpose. Need it bepointed out that an object of caricature neednot be an object of disdain? And need I alsopoint out that the article was in no waymeant to be a scholarly theoretical in¬vestigation? Had it been so I would havespoken in my own name, not that of "AndrewGarrish". That Dave so took it was, to saythe least, unfortunate.For my present purpose I think I will,however, claim to be an "anti-auteur". Ifthat is "anachronistic", I also plead guilty.But this is imprecise speech. What Davemeans is that my stance is unpopular or outof fashion. That does not make it wrong., Would Dave also wish to maintain thatbecause respect for law also seems out offashion that it too is "anachronistic"?A large part of my problem with auteurismis precisely that it is an -ism, an ideology.Like any ideology it seems to have a con¬comitant roster of saints and saintedprecepts which are not to be questioned.Substitution of faith for thought has alwaysseemed to me a poor principle of criticismfor a scholar.Dave, however, does not claim that filmcriticism has religious status. Instead hestates that, "Film criticism is becoming ascience,..." This would be astounding, iftrue. Now, I confess myself none too sure ofwhat he means by science, but I must warnhim that both the natural and social sciencesare currently embroiled in a great deal ofdiscussion, not all of it friendly, respectingtheir claims to apodictic truth. I myself havealways been under the impression that filmcriticism was an art and, like the other arts,in constant need of a defense of its principles.His statement that "No true critic lackstheory or background./* is as true as it istrivial. But it does not follow from that that"There is not a single accredible (sic) filmscholar in the world who is not grounded inthe auteur theory..." Either "grounded in"means no more than "has studied", or the-statement is tautologous. What Dave wouldmake of the work of Parker Tyler or WilliamS. Pechter thus remains an open question.Belaboring "popular journalists" isequally unfruitful a tack. As a journalisthimself, Dave must surely be aware that themedium of publication does not determinethe quality of thought. As an example verymuch to the point, he would be advised tosecure a copy of Lessing'*. HamburgDramaturgy, being a collection of thatphilosopher's newspaper reviews of con¬temporary theatre. Moreover, it is not I, butAndrew Sarris (after whom "Garrish" wasmodeled) who feels it necessary to take Kaeland Simon to task. That sort of back-bitingwas itself being caricatured.With regard to the assertions that I haveconcluded that "judgment is not based onknowledge" and that I "can't appreciate thedepths" of a film, nor "take the effort thatthat requires", Dave really should haveknown better. As Film Editor for the Maroonhe might be expected to recall, for example,my essay on "The Conformist" which ap¬peared in these pages last year. Perhaps hedisagrees with my conclusions, but I thinkthe seriousness of the effort was apparent.Last, but far-from least, Dave is to becredited with the statement of the basicproblem with auteur theory, though I doubthe sees it as a problem. As he said, "I'venever seen a work of art that had its source inmore than one imagination,,.." And I'venever seen a film that carried only a singlename in the credit list. There is simply noway to get around the fact that filmsrepresent the efforts of a group of people. ByDave's canon, this would exclude their beingworks of art. This I did not say. Nor did Imaintain that "personal expression is im¬possible in cinema..." The question really isabout the extent of any one person's ex-Dression in any given film or series of films.Unhappily, the convenience of anatysis of¬fered by auteurism obscures aiid biurs, in- DRAWING BY DAN ABRAHAMdeed prevents, the answer to that question.All that behind us, it should be noted, asone recent auteurist critic has done, that"Auteurism is about as monolithic asCommunism." And I would never deny thatsome auteurist critics have provided thestudy of film vyith many valuable insights.Whether this is because or in spite of theoryis another question. All I say is that it is aquestion and will most likely so remain. And,assertion to the contrary notwithstanding,unpopular views cannot be swept aside byappeals to progress or to number offollowers. We should all be wary of forcingfilm, or any other field of study, into "ac¬ceptable" molds of whatever sort, be they"middle class" or otherwise.STATEMENT BY DAVE KEHRThese little squabbles have a way ofgetting out of hand—what begins on theloftiest intellectual plane often degeneratesinto some pretty sordid backbiting (see Kaelvs. Movie, Kael vs. Sarris, and Sarris vs.Simon). Howard and I would both like toterminate this thing before we reach thatpoint, and I think we may have already gonebeyond the point where the Grey CityJournal's readers have any more interest init. Everything we've said has been saidbefore, and probably better. Film Quarterly,for example, has tended to specialize in thiskind of controversy ever since its criticalviewpoint became irrelevant in the middlesixties, and anyone who's interested caninspect the carnage in the back issues. So, I'llconfine this rebuttal to rebuttal to rebuttal tothe points Howard has raised in his currentarticle, and we can put this exchange asideand get back to our real business, reviewingmovies instead of criticism.1. Howard's point that I took his littleparody too seriously is well taken. I've beena victim of the misleading titles supplied bythe editors enough times to know better thanto pay too much attention to them, but thepolemical stance of the piece was, in anyevent, unmistakable. Curiously, I found mostof "Garrish's" remarks quite sensible, toosensible, in fact, for parody. Most of thesatire was in the way of characterization, theold rhetorical device of ridiculing thespeaker and not the speech, a trick Sarriscan pull off as well as anyone. I assumed thatHoward was declaring himself as an "ar.ti-auteurist", and I was guilty of directing myreply towards the arguments that theorthodox critics generally put up, instead oftoward what Howard had actually said,since, apparently, he hadn't intended to sayanything. I should have kept my big mouthshut, but I had nothing better to do that day.2. I find the anti-auteurist argumentsanachronistic simply because, at this point,we've heard them all before. Granted, thatdoesn't make them wrong. It doesn't makethem right, either—just redundant. Somethings that are "unpopular" and "out offashion", as Howard supposes respect forlaw to be, may be undeservedly so. Otherthings, like Nazism, let's say, seem to bemore rightfully discarded.3. Only a person unfamiliar with theliterature would assert that auteurism"seems to have a concomitant roster ofsaints and sainted precepts which are not tobe questioned". Disagreements over filmsand directors are rampant amongauteurists. Based on my understanding ofDon Siegel's work, I found Charley Varrickto be a minor film, while Andrew Sarris,based on his understanding of Siegel, thoughtit was one of the best pictures of the year. Ithink Frank Borzage is an important figurein the American cinema, while Chariers duCinema (which most anti-auteurists seem tothink of as our Holy Writ) dismissed Borzageas a hack. Nor would I hold that a greatdirector is incapable of making a bad film.Howard Hawks (one of our supposed"gods") made a film called Rio Lobo acontinued on page 76—Grey City Journal—November 30, 1973(con't from page 6 )couple of years ago which was one of theworst things I have ever seen. WilliamFaulkner has written his share of bad books,but that doesn't belittle his otherachievements. We agree that Siegel,Borzage, and Hawks deserve to be takenseriously, as we believe that all directors do.There are no gods, there is only the evidenceon the screen.4. Philology is the study of literarylanguage, as Semiotics is the study ofcinematic language. They are both sciences,inexact sciences, granted, but none the lesslegitimate. What is usually meant by "theart of criticism" is some mystical ritual ofpersonal tastes, a cloudy and contradictiveexercise at best. Unfortunately ail critics,auteurist or otherwise, will have to rely tosome extent on personal taste until we canfind the tools to replace it. I think we have aright to demand some kind of rigor.5. Parker Tyler is a sociologist. William S.Pechter is an auteurist who doesn't know it.Howard has read his pieces on Hitchcock,Ford and Peckinpah.6. No one will convince me that the samequality of thought is to be found in both TheNew Yorker and Screen.7. I'm sorry that Howard took anything Isaid as a personal insult. I certainly didn'tintend anything of the sort. My point was thatHoward (or any intelligent person) isperfectly capable of appreciating the depthsof I Was a Male War Bride if he'd only takethe trouble to look. Too many people don'ttake that trouble. Few directors expressthemselves in exactly the same ways, so thequestion of style is just as central to filmcriticism as it is to literary criticism. Youcan come to grips with a personal style onlyafter you've seen it operate in a variety ofcontexts. This is why I think it's important tosee as many of a director's films as possiblebefore you can speak with authority aboutany one in particular.8. If Howard wants to appeal to the creditsas a reliable guide to authorship, I couldpoint out that the director's name alwayscomes last, in all of its magnificent finality.That, though, would mean just as little. Thedirectors happen to have the strongest union(which does mean something) so they've gotthe pull to get the favored spot.As far as the ''collective consciousness"theory goes, we might as well demand thatevery player in a symphony orchestra begiven credit equal to the composer. There's abasic distinction we can make betweencraftsmen and creators, which eliminatesninety per cent of that credits list.-We're leftwith three names that could, concievably,have made a creative contribution: thephotographer, the screenwriter, and thedirector. The photographer, by himself, canhardly make or break a picture, although hecan make a substantial contribution to itssuccess. Neither is the screenwriter'scontribution of the highest importance. Mostfilms credit two or three screenwriters, andstill, somehow, there is a single, personalvision on the screen. Most of those directorswe credit with being "auteurs" make aconsiderable contribution to the script, butunion rules prevent their names fromappearing as writers. Good films have beenmade in spite of bad scripts, something thatthe literary-biased critics find hard tounderstand. If the script is the final arbiter,how do we account for the thematic andstylistic differences of out and out remakes,like Holiday and Holiday, Diary of aChambermaid and Diary of a Chambermaid,Imitation of Life Imitation of Life?A director, if he is any good, shapes hismaterial to his personality and his concerns.A good film can be made from a bad script,and a good script can be made into a badfilm, but we are interested (I think) in filmas film, not in film as illustrated scenarios.The Auteurist must take the role of thescreenwriter into account...how else can wecome to designate a certain director as an"auteur"?Ultimately, it is the director who isresponsible for the final shape the materialtakes on the screen. He doesn't need to havewritten the dialogue any more than he needsto have set the focus or designed thecostumes for the film to be his, as long as itwas his personality that guided the writing ofthe script, the setting of the focus, and thedesigning of the costumes. For everydirector who accomplishes this, there are, ofcourse, a hundred who merely film thescript, and quite a few more who fitsomewhere in between. It is not a question offorcing the study of film into molds(something that orthodox criticism has donein the first place, putting film on the level of asub-art). It is a question of coming to gripswith the medium as it is, not as it could be orshould be. C90 in W49HINGTONBy TOBY LOU HOFSLUNDWashington, D.C. Kennedy Center. Sun¬day, November 18, 1973.The hall was already charged with an¬ticipation before, but once conductor SirGeorg Solti walked out, a certain magic tookover and there was immediate rapportbetween player and audience. The per¬formance sparked to life, grew, andsustained an emotionally vibrant at¬mosphere. What could have been dull - aprogram of just two Beethoven symphonies -never dragged. Solti moved the orchestraalong steadily and with determination.Two questions came quickly to mind:First, wouid uhere by any difference betweenhis interpretation of a later symphony - theEighth, known as lyric and personal - andthe forceful Eroica? Secondly, how would theEroica sound in a different hall, before adifferent audience, and after a three-weekrespite?The answers were not that simple. In bothsymphonies Solti brought forth well-defined,exact, and dramatic playing, as he did in theMahler the night before. Whatever thevolume or dynamic level, Beethoven’smessage of hope and despair came throughclearly with help from Solti.All of Beethoven’s moods were there -- thecalm, pastoral serenity, and the wittyimitation of the Maezel metronone —the even-pulsed woodwinds sounded like a dance ofmarionettes in Rockette synchronization. Ifthe more delicate ones lost out to thedramatic, blame it on Solti’s overdrive.The Eroica was careful and concise.Themes wove in and out with clarity.However, louds were extra loud and softsextra soft. The “Funeral March”, slow anddeliberate, took on a mournfulness andsolemnity rarely experienced in the concerthall. Cadences were clipped but explosive.Pauses and rests lasts just a fraction longerthan customary. And the result? Solti seizedthe listener’s attention and held it throughouta unique, dynamic and emotionally drainingexperience. It was memorable.CTO TOUR(con't from page 1)goes on tour. So on Wednesday, November14th, 120 musicians, stagehands, librarian,staff and conductor departed O’Hare Fieldwith 78 checked pieces of luggage 1 includinggolf clubs for the one day off). Extras for theMahler flew into New York for just one day,Saturday.On this particular trip nothing major wentwrong. Except hotel reservations. Instead ofgoing into the New York Sheraton as plan¬ned, the orchestra ended up in a real fleabag, the Royal Manhattan on Eighth Avenue.All else went like clockwork. Charter busesfor ground transfers appeared at the rightmoment and travelling from LaGuardia toNational Airport to the Kennedy Center waswithout incident.If you haven’t been to the Kennedy Centertor the Performing Arts it’s quite a placeCut out of Italian marble, it gives an austere,almost antiseptic look with its wide foyersand high celings. V&ry much like a caver¬nous and cold train depot. Decorated withtapestries, crystal chandeliers, mirrors, redcarpets, and works of art—all gifts fromtwenty-five countries—it presents anawesome appearance. Acoustically theConcert Hall—site of Sunday afternoon’sperformance—is fairly live, somewhere inbetween Carnegie Hall and Orchestra Hall.And if you get tired of hearing BeethovenSymphonies—Sunday’s program featuredthe Eighth and the Third—you can always goout onto the terrace that overlooks thePotomac, gaze at surrounding greencountryside, and listen to an unendingstream of airplanes.It was a standing room only concert. Andthe Washington audience, although lackingNew York’s red-hot response, was warm andenthusiastic, especially for a Washingtonaudience, according to natives. Theycheered and clapped for a full five minutes.Even Washington Post critic Paul Hume, notknown for his puffery, priased the Symphonyin a rather grand manner. He spoke of“memorable beauty”, “nobility” of Solti’sreadings, and the “unearthly eloquence” ofthe oboe in the Eroica.But next fall is the time everyone iswaiting for. Then the Chicago Symphonyreturns to Europe for three weeks, one weekof recording in Vienna and an exhilaratingtwo week tour. Even the veterans in theorchestra let their eyes shine with delightwhen they talk about that. wmmmonk* in its monastery family.Our active apostoiate include* a varied pastorand the conduct ot a college preparatory schoolDedicated to the search lor God through pray<vibrantand social needs of the- world today.■ Wrce Fatber Luke Rigby'‘ ’'Box 27321St Louis f/issoun 63141JAMESSCHULTZCLEANERSCUSTOM QUALITYCLEANING10% student discount1363 E. 53rd St.752-6933Young Designs byELIZABETH GORDON*Hair Designers1 620 E. 53rd St.288-2900DRIVECHECKERTAXIDURINGCHRISTMASVACATION• WORK FULL OR PARTTIME.
