THE CHICAGO MAROONVol. 90, NO. 6 The University of Chicago Copyright ©1980 The Chicago Maroon Friday, August 8, 1980Delegates toKeep PledgesBy Chris IsidoreMost of the first congressional district’sdelegates to next week’s Democratic Na¬tional Convention plan to hold to their origi¬nal committments to presidential candi¬dates, although they are split on whetherthey would prefer an “open” convention.Nationally, Democratic opponents ofPresident Carter have called for the repealof a rule requiring delegates to vote at theconvention for the candidate they pledged tosupport before the primary elections.Although Carter has so far refused to re¬lease his delegates to vote for the candidateof their choice, some of his supporters havejoined the push for an open convention, ar¬guing that the convention will still nominateCarter, and that this would demonstratethat Carter still has the support of hisparty.Carter delegate Renault Robinson, headof the Afro-American Patrolmen’s League,is among those who share this view. “I thinkthe President should open it up, but it shouldbe his decision,” Robinson said. “If thePresident, because of politics, decides toopen it up, I’d support him. I ran pledged asa Carter delegate, and that’s what I am. ButI think it would be wise politically for him tofree the delegates, and I would still expecthim to win.”State Senator Richard Newhouse, whohelped organize the Carter delegate slateand captured the most votes of any delegatein the district during the primary election,holds a similar position. “I have not ruledState Senator Richard Newhouseout voting to overturn that rule, and I expectto stay with Carter. But those are two sepa¬rate questions,” he said. “I would think thatan open convention would still renominateCarter. It’s too late to do anything else. I ranin my district as a representative of a posi¬tion, and the convention should be a forumso that position can be heard. I hope itdoesn’t take an open convention to havethese positions heard, but so far nothing hasbeen forthcoming. But as far as the nomin¬ee, at this point there are no other choices.Muskie and Jackson are reluctant dragons.What we need are some stand-up guys.”Other Carter delegates are less pleasedwith the idea of an open convention. “An‘open’ convention opens the way for the con¬vention to become closed, ” said Josie ChildsBrown. “It would get to the point where aContinued on page i D.

Gale Johnson, chairman of the depart¬ment of economics, said that graduate stu¬dents will help staff some of the four eco¬nomics ‘core’ courses. These courses(economics 200, 201, 202, and 203) are re¬quired of all undergraduate economics con¬centrators. The other undergraduatecourses will continue to be taught by facultymembers, Johnson said.The use of graduate students is necessarybecause the department has been unable tofind faculty members to fully staff all of itsundergraduate courses, according to John¬ son. The department is having similar butless severe problems finding teachers for itsgraduate-level courses. Because two of thedeparting faculty members did not decide toleave until the spring, after the normalwinter hiring season for economists, the de¬partment was unable to find qualified re¬placements for them by the start of the fallquarter.Students registering for certain of thecore courses next year will be given a choicebetween a large class taught by a -facultymember, or one of a number of smaller sec¬tions taught by Ph.D. students, Johnsonsaid. Enrollment in each of these sectionswill probably be limited to 25 students, andthe graduate students will be supervised bya faculty member. It is not yet definitewhich or how many of the four core courseswill include graduate student teachers.The economics department already usesBureaucracy Builds...And soDo Piles of Chemical WasteBy Sharon ButlerOne hundred fifty boxes filled with largebrown bottles of hazardous chemical wastessit and wait in Jones 16, a storage room inthe chemistry building complex.One year ago, their disposal would havebeen easy. A hauler from a specialized pri¬vate company would have been called in andhe would have carried the chemicals to anofficial hazardous landfill site, operated byanother private company — unless, that is,he dumped the material by a roadside.In the past two years, federal and stateregulations on the disposal of chemicalwastes have tightened. Only a year ago, forexample, haulers of waste were not re¬quired to obtain a permit for each load ofwaste they carried to a landfill.The Illinois Environmental ProtectionAgency (IEPA) devised the permit systemto keep control over the disposal processfrom the generator of the waste material, tothe hauler, to the landfill site. MarySchroeder, environmental specialist for theIEPA, says the permit system is long over¬due. At the University of Chicago, applicationfor a permit to dispose of chemical wastesbegins in the office of A1 Herbster, superin¬tendent in the plant department. In the ap¬plication for a permit, he must provide theIEPA with information on the exact natureof the material to be disposed, the haulingcompany to be used and the landfill site. Ifthe permit is approved, it is good only forthose specifications. Says Herbster, “Thefirst permit I applied for took twelveweeks.” The papers have finally gonethrough and the disposal of the wastes, longoverdue can now begin.The IEPA now often rejects applicationson grounds that the chemicals mentionedcan not be buried in the proposed locaton.Schroeder says that landfill sites are care¬fully checked when the application for a per¬mit reaches Springfield. For example, theIEPA considers whether the soil at a sitecan handle the particular chemical waste. Ifnot, the permit is denied and the applicantmust start all over.According to Schroeder, one reason per¬mits are increasingly difficult to obtain isContinued on page 2 graduate students to lead weekly discussionsessions in some of the core courses, butthey do not teach any undergraduatecourses. The department of mathematicsapparently is the only department to regu¬larly use graduate students to teach under¬graduate courses.Even before associate professors DonaldMcCloskey and Dennis Carlton, and assis¬tant professors Andrew Abel and NicholasKiefer left the department this spring,' classsizes in the department were bulging from a300 percent increase in the number of under¬graduate economics majors in the past de¬cade. There are now’ approximately 225 eco¬nomics concentrators, according toJohnson.Although the department has hired twonew junior faculty members and plans tohave several visiting professors during thecoming year, these appointments are notenough to cover the teaching loads of thefour departing professors, let alone to easethe crowded conditions in many undergrad¬uate economics classes.In recent years, the economics coreclasses have been among the largest in theCollege, apart from several science se¬quences. More than 200 students have al¬ready registered for economics 200, the de¬partment’s most popular course, in the fall,Johnson said. The total enrollment in thatcourse last year was approximately 250 stu¬dents. Two years ago, the average enroll¬ment in the seven 200-level economicscourses was 50 students.Johnson cited three reasons that the de¬partment has been reluctant to hire new fac¬ulty members to accommodate the increas¬ing number of undergraduate economicsconcentrators. “This department by andlarge doesn’t want to be very large.” be¬cause “something happens to departmentswhen they get .very big,” Johnson said.Large departments tend to compartmenta¬lize and lose their sense of unity, accordingto Johnson.A second reason has been the fear that theincreased student interest in economics wastemporary, and that an expanded depart¬ment would be unnecessary shortly after theincrease.The final reason concerns available officespace, Johnson said.Faculty members in the department seemunenthusiastic about but resigned to the useof graduate students to teach undergradu¬ate economics classes. The College has re¬presented itself as an institution where fac-ulty members teach almost allundergraduate courses, but “as a matter ofthe economics of educational economics, itis going to be becoming increasingly diffi¬cult to maintain that image.” according toSam Peltzman, a professor in the GraduateSchool of Business, who has taught econom¬ics 200 for a number of years.If students trade off the advantages ofhaving smaller classes with the disadvan¬tages of having graduate students as teach¬ers, they may be no worse off than theywould be in a large class with a full profes¬sor, Peltzman said. Peltzman, who taught130 students in his section of economics 200last fall, said that large classes make it diffi¬cult for him to get a “sense of where I’m get¬ting across to the class and where I’m con¬fusing them.” Some students are also morereluctant to talk in large classes than insmall ones, he added.A member of the economics departmentshared Peltzman’s mixed feelings about theuse of graduate students. Although graduatestudents may not have as much experienceas faculty members, he said, they havemore recently “struggled with the materi¬al” covered in the class than have older fac¬ulty members, and so may be more familiarwith the difficulties encountered by stu¬dents.4Scholars Ponder the Obscure for a SummerYoung MathBy Sharon ButlerSaid to date back to Thales, the Greek phi¬losopher, the theory of numbers is the mostabstract area of mathematics. While theconsumer blithely counts his apples, thenumber theorist argues over a proof thatthere are no integers between 0 and 1.Fifty high school students are at the Uni¬versity this summer exercising the most re¬condite portions of their grey matter overthe problems of number theory. The Pro¬gram, as its students and faculty refer to it,began in 1970 as a mathematics class forhigh school teachers, and was the brainchildof noted number theorist Arnold Ross. Sincethen, it has evolved into an eight-week sum¬mer program of intensive mathematics fora select group of high school students. Theprogram is staffed by mathematics profes¬sors and college-age counsellors.In class, with cigarette in one hand, chalkin the other (students say they wonder whenhe will smoke the chalk), Herstein moldsmathematics into a subject the average 16-year old would not recognize.Unlike Ross, who asked his students toplay around with numbers first and thenfrom them generate the ruling theories,Herstein launches without apology on thegeneral theory. While normal high schoolstudents compute compound interest on sav¬ings deposits, these students define “idealsof rings.”Although the academic director shapesthe program by planning the lectures andsetting the pace, the counsellors are theones who do much of the work. The counsel¬lors are undergraduates and graduate stu¬dents who live in Hitchcock Hall alongsidetheir pupils. It’s in the dormitory that thereal learning goes on, students say. At thesame time impressed and intimidated byHerstein, students save their “dumb” ques¬tions for their counsellors. Said one girl, “Ijust sit in lectures and take notes; then I goback and stay with my counsellor for threehours while he explains.” When Herstein waves his hands and dismisses a proof astrivial, leaving it for the students to workout, the counsellors are besieged for help.The counsellors, however, are carefully in¬structed not to give out answers to prob¬lems. “The students must develop the fieldon their own,” one counsellor said.One student explained the difference be¬tween high school math and math as Her¬stein teaches it: “There we accept a systemContinued from page 1that landfill sites are becoming scarce. InApril, a state law was passed that requireshazardous landfill sites to be maintained fortwenty years after abandonment. Previous¬ly, continued maintenance was required foronly three years. As a direct result of thebill, Schroeder said, many companies dis¬continued accepting wastes, including thelargest company in northern Illinois, JohnSexton.In November, the federal Resource Con¬servation and Recovery Act will go into ef¬fect putting detailed restrictions on the loca¬tion of landfill sites. More sites may then goout of commission.But Herbster has other problems. He saidhis first permit application was returnedafter four weeks because he did not supplyenough information. But Herbster also saidthat just finding out what information theEPA wanted was difficult. “Universities arein a unique situation. Unlike industrieswhich haul massive amounts of one kind ofwaste, the University has a large variety ofwastes, each in small quantities.” SaysHerbster, “The EPA regulations are de¬signed to take care of the large quantities of of mathematics and apply it; here we buildthe system itself.” Even homework is notthe same. “Back home, you get twenty ormore problems a night. A really hard prob¬lem would take five or ten minutes at themost. Here you get six problems and onemight take eight hours.” In high school ananswer is right or wrong, while some prob¬lems in the University’s math program maynot even have a solution.industrial wastes. We only give them a halfa pound of one thing and 2 gallons of an¬other.”Despite the small quantities of waste in¬volved, the difficulties of complying with therules are massive because of the complexityof the regulations governing disposal ofwaste materials.After the first refusal, Herbster says,IEPA officials told him, ‘“You can’t landfillthis stuff’.” Herbster said some of thewastes were alkaline metals which must bereacted first before they can be stored in alandfill. Neutralizing these metals is a vio¬lent reaction and must be done in gramquantities. Handling lare quantities is a te¬dious operation which no lab on campus isready to do. Herbster says he is not surewhat he will eventually do with these alka¬line metals and other materials landfillscannot accept.One of the biggest problems facing Herb¬ster is the identification of waste materialsleft unlabelled in storage rooms. Chemistrylabs have been advised by Gregory Boshart,executive officer in the department, thatwaste containers must carry a tag specify¬ing the contents and the approximate quan- Although the program remains demand¬ing, it seems to have mellowed since thedays when Ross presided over it. While Rosswas here, counsellors say, if students werenot working eight hours a day on mathema¬tics, something was wrong. This summer,one of the counsellors complained that stu¬dents were playing soccer every night. Her-stein’s response was “Let them have somefun; this is summer.”tity and that carcinogenic material mustcarry an additional label. However,labora¬tories have been negligent and it seems thatthe University will have to bear the cost ofhaving those materials analysed. Herbstersays he has not had to have wastes analysedbefore and so can not estimate how much itwill cost. But he does say it will be expen¬sive. He recalls that an attempt to identifydicambe, a spray for dandelions that hadbeen accidentally sprayed on a tree, cost$75. “But that was one item and they knewwhat they were looking for”, says Herbster.The storage rooms have numbers of itemswith no hint of the contents. One bottle issimply labelled “Slop.”Boshart’s memo of July 23 to the chemis¬try department states that “detailed proce¬dures are still evolving.” For the Universitythis means an increasing backlog of wastesto be disposed at lest until the problem oflandfill sites is solved and everyone getsused to the new routine. The government re¬quires the Univesity to dispose of thewastes, Herbster says, but the new regula¬tions are making it increasingly difficult todo so. “It is fast becoming anotherCatch-22,” Herbster said.‘You Can’t Landfill This Stuff’is looking for poetry,fiction, essays, andart work for oursupplement in theOrientation Issue.Deadline: August 22Submit your work tothe Maroon Office VISIT US IN OURNEW LOCATIONBRANDEQUIPMENTNOW AT8560 S.

Phil, though not actually pres¬ ent (cars being banned from the Point), re¬ceived tributes from guests and onlookers:gifts (including sample parking tickets),honorary speeches, and many toasts, all in¬terspersed with music from a drummer, anIrish whistle-player, and an accordianist.Two particularly lucky guests won prizesawarded by Phil’s patron (or parent), MarkSulkes — a ten-mile ride in Phil himself, and !the battered relic of a door belonging to a jfellow-Camaro. Balloons, children, dogs and Ia juggler provided other entertainment. Re- I| grettably absent were invitees Jane ByrneI and Hanna Gray.

Shealso objects to the idea of an open conven¬tion. ‘‘I have worked hard on the precinctlevel for the IVI (Independent Voters of Illi¬nois) to get people to vote in the primary-who want to stay home because they saytheir vote won’t make a difference,” shesaid. ‘The Democratic party has beenworking since 1968 to have a fair representa¬tion of the primary vote at the convention,and I support that direction. To reverse thatnow will make it difficult to convince peopleto vote in the primary.”Kennedy supporters have been amongthose pushing for an open convention. ThirdWard Alderman Tyronne Kenner, one of twoKennedy delegates elected from the district,supports an open convention. “We’vealways had open conventions, so that thedelegates could vote their consciences,” hesaid. ‘That way if things changed, as theyhave, their votes could reflect that. This rulewasn’t adopted until after the last conven¬tion. We’re not trying to change the rule:they’re the ones changing the rule.”Of the five delegates reached by TheMaroon, Kenner was most seriously consi¬dering changing his vote if given the chance.“I think Scoop Jackson (Senator for Wash¬ington State) could be the strongest candi¬date we could have.” But Kenner still pre-fered Kennedy to President Carter.RESTAURANTcaayht to cwdew ommm owndhe fwbhebt fdh awaidahhe, fmefumed hy, dedicote/yfioachiny in a d)oant 3/ouidhon. //eimed mth utanmeddnaum hutten.

While their menu is limited, whatthey make is good, and competitivelypriced; the decor is authentic and the sur¬roundings are a lot more fun than, say, theReynolds Club. 2) The second number ineach ice cream’s rating is nowhere identi¬fied. 3) Curiously, the same ice cream at dif¬ferent stores is given different flavor rat¬ings (e g., Dolly Madison Vanilla: C-Shop,2xk; Medici 2; but Chocolate: C-Shop, 2te,Medici, 3; Wanzer’s Chocolate Chip: Ba¬kery, 3; Bottone’s, 4). Were the ratings forflavor or for ambience? 4) A friend of mine,by the way, who is an overling at the C-Shoptold me not long ago that they serve Bea¬trice ice cream. 5) It’s a curious panel thatwould overwhelmingly prefer sweet choco¬late to bitter. After all, chocolate is natural¬ly bitter, and one would expect that the bestchocolate would be the closest to the naturalflavor. And surely if most chocolate icecreams are too bitter for the tasters, thissuggests that manufacturers recognize thepublic’s preference. Well, you were proba¬bly raised on fluffy white bread and presweetened corn flakes. Too bad you didn’teven try the Haagen-Dazs Chocolate, whichwould have convinced any of you. 6) Speak¬ing of which, it might have been nice of youto mention why the Cassis Sorbet was “con¬troversial” — it’s extremely sour (as is theblack currant in real life). Again, this wouldnot appeal to the Twinkie-fed generation;but a scoop on a sugar cone provides a per¬fect contrast of flavor and texture for a hotsummer day. (On the other hand, I had apair of roommates, a married couple, whoswore by Haagen-Dazs Carob, which I couldnever stomach.) 7) More than once, Vanillais derided for tasting custardy.

For excellent ice cream in Chi¬cago (I can’t say The Best, since I haven’tbeen everywhere yet) go to Gertie’s, at 59thand Kedzie; and for excellent ice cream inthe East, go to Howard Johnson’s (someyears ago, New York magazine rated Coffeeice cream, and Howard Johnson’s, Haagen-Dazs’, and Baskin-Robbins’ tied for firstplace).

DanielsPh.D. Candidate in LinguisticsCycling to the Grave?To the Editor:Well, summer is here, and bicycle ridingis quite popular these days. I’m a great fanof bicycles, but many of us are doing somepretty dangerous things on our bicycles, andI’m getting a little worried.As most people know, a bicycle is legally a“vehicle” and therefore is subject to thesame traffic laws as any other vehicle. But alot of riders seem to think that traffic re¬strictions don’t “really” apply to them —after all, it’s only a bicycle. I’d like to men¬tion a few examples, and urge fellow bikeriders to pay attention to them.The worst, and perhaps most common,problem that I see is people riding the wrongway on one-way streets. Besides being ille¬gal, it’s quite dangerous. If you ride thewrong direction, the cars on the street areapproaching at a much higher relativespeed, so they — and you — have less time toadjust to and avoid each other. In addition,cars do not expect to see anyone coming theother way, and so are less likely to noticeyou. For the same reasons, you create aserious hazard for cyclists who are riding inthe correct direction.I see many riders who ride blindlythrough red lights and stop signs. Besidesthe obvious danger to the rider and to pedes¬trians, this also endangers cars and othercyclists who have to make sudden maneu¬vers to avoid a collision. Perhaps it is notnecessary for a cyclist to come to an abso¬lutely complete stop at every stop sign, butwe should at least wait for red lights, andslow down enough at stop signs that a com¬plete stop could be made immediately ifneeded.In general, it seems that many people aremuch less careful about everything whenriding a bike than they would be if drivingthe same route in a car. It’s even more im¬portant for a cyclist to be alert and alwaysaware of what’s going on in the area, to givehand signals, and generally to make surethat other cars and cyclists know what to ex¬pect.One last comment concerns public rela¬tions. It’s becoming more and more obviousthat the day of the automobile as the pri¬mary means of transportation is comingrapidly to an end, at least for short trips. Bi¬cycles will have to take up much of this load.But the transition will be unnecessarily longand difficult if people see cyclists as irre¬sponsible and inconsiderate. We’ll all be bet¬ter off if those of us who ride bicycles arecareful to ride safely, and demonstrate justhow safe, efficient and fun bicycling reallyis.Glenn CooperGraduate student in astronomyPublicationNoteThis is the final Maroon of the summerquarter.

Residents haveaccess through the middle entrances bykey. Previously, as was intended by the ar¬chitects, people used the gates as passageto walk under and through the building.Since these gates were erected, commonmythology has dealt with the contradictionof open/gates by assuming that, sincestreets and sidewalks were blocked by thepresence of the building, city law must re¬quire the right of pedestrian passagethrough the space. This "right" has nowbeen successfully and unilaterally denied.This control of access produces multiplesymbolic and political changes in the rela¬tion between the pedestrians, the building,and the residents.Pedestrians wishing to avoid a bela¬bored circling of the building are nowforced either into the park or the shoppingcenter. The park and shopping center arepublic space in ways the residential streetsare not. The park and shopping center areplaces for being in — at night, 'lurking' —rather than for moving through. They areopen, more deserted spaces, unlined byhouses which can offer rescue or refuge. Apark is more dangerous at night thanBlackstone or Dorchester. A differentdanger results from having pedestrianscross 55th at the corners of the buildingwhere one is blind to half the traffic.The interior security of the condomin¬ium residents is increased at the expenseof our safety. The difference in security be¬tween inside and outside is made greaternot only by improving conditions for resi¬dents but also by making them worse fornon-residents. In fact, it is somewhatdoubtful whether this adds any appreci¬able security for the residents at all —none of the apartments are accessiblefrom the ground, and security guards areposted at the entranceways.But this is in the interest of the condo¬minium because making the outer spacemore dangerous further increases the'value' of the interior safety. Safety has it¬self become a commodity.The gain in 'security' for the residents at a>the real expense of pedestrians underlines ~the disparity between those who live in the ^building and those who are likely to be ~walking through at night. That the resi- rcdents can afford these condominiums lo- “cates them in a class higher than the peo¬ple walking there at night. These are likelyto be students, blacks, and generally poorpeople who cannot afford cars or taxis andwho patronize establishments on 57th and53rd streets. (Contrast this to the traditionwithin the 'golden rectangle', also belong¬ing to a higher class, of evening leisurewalks, which take place within that closedspace and would not cross 55th St.)This is certainly not the first time stu¬dents, and to an even greater extent,blacks and the poor, have suffered to makeHyde Park more secure. 'UrSan Renewal'in the fifties and sixties brought changeswhich restricted access to Hyde Park. Planned and carried out by the University,the SECC, and various agencies of the gov¬ernment, this involved the exportation ofthe poor and the apparent transformationof the community into some model of an is¬land for the middle class. Spatially, this isbest seen in the redirecting of traffic: oneway streets, dead ends, and the direction -of major traffic to the periphery, so that itbecame almost impossible to drive direct¬ly through Hyde Park. Access was res¬tricted, though still possible — just as ren¬tal became more restricted but still possible. In the transformation from rental unitsto condominiums, access to living in HydePark is becoming simply impossible for alarger group of people. Since this secondstage is being carried out by the privatesector, it appears 'more natural.' The Uni¬versity, Julian Levi, et al. escape from thepolitical response that resulted from the'awkwardness' of their engineering urbanrenewal directly, from the top down. Non¬etheless, it is still evident that such a second restriction of access is occurring, andthat the same interests are being served.University Condominiums occupy a cen tral space in Hyde Park, by virtue of beingboth on 55th St. and roughly at the mid¬point between the University and the lake.It is also located in a circle, enclosed, setapart — an island, like Hyde Park itself.Usually such space is public — The Placede I'Etoile in Paris, Central Park, or NewEngland greens — which are called "com¬mons," the common ground. Such spacerepresents the collective ideal of the com¬munity: Napolean, Democracy, thechurch, nature. In Hyde Park it is the con¬dominium, the security of private space,which is now so enshrined. The changefrom "University Apartments" to "Uni¬versity Condominiums" symbolically re¬flects this change in composition of hous¬ing in Hyde Park. Moreover, the samemessage is contained in the change froman open gate, partially restricted access,to a locked one, completely restrictedaccess. The gate thus metaphoricallyserves notice of this transformation ofHyde Park.This brings out another symbolic dimen¬sion of the gates being closed. The condo¬miniums are asserting the patriar¬chal/father's privilege — the control of afree access to enclosed space. Access isonly allowed to those with keys, who arethus differentiated and partake of thepower and authority of the building as fa¬ther — while those without keys, as in thefamily, are forced to the outside. In theface of this authority one feels both rebellion — the urge to subvert the system, toreach around the plastic shielding to openthe center doors, and then submission — torecognize the symbolic power and to walkaround it. One is also tempted to ask, asthe child, what have we done? Have wesomehow transgressed so that this privi¬lege should be taken away from us? Obviously not. The observation of Deleuzeand Guattari that Oedipus is first the in¬vention of an adult paranoic has more thana little legitimacy here.There is, however, a reason this transferof authority to the residents may be sym¬bolically necessary. In comparison to ahouse, a condominium is generally an illusory, less satisfying and secure form ofproperty. The owner can't tear down anapartment to build something else, andthere are more limitations and infringe¬ments on its use. You can't really do any¬thing with it but sell it. Owning an apart¬ment at University Condominiums is alsodifferent than owning a condo in a six flat,where one owns a distinct sixth of a build¬ing. The large size and abstract design ofUniversity Condos, in the style of a bank orpublic housing, emphasizes the largenumber of nearly identical spaces. Theapartments are hard to differentiate and,consequently, confer less individuality anduniqueness on the owners — precisely theopposite effect to that for which property isdesired.To countermand these devaluing effects,the control of access is being used to in¬crease the sense of being an owner of pri¬vate property. The closing symbolicallysupports the illusion necessary to give thecondos their claimed value.the grey city journal—Friday, August 8, 1980—5Emil Armir.ArtEmil Armin: A retrospective of nativeHyde Parker and early modernistEmil Armin (1883-1971).

Two of Kezys's are among theshow's best: in one a robed prieststands and stares from in front of amisty lake; another shows row uponrow of seated spectators at the 1964New York World's Fair. Yet as manyKezys altogether miss as hit themark, leading one to believe that theartist trusts too much in a helpful butinsufficient blessing, luck. Of the five,Kezys's is the least developed styleCohen presents the opposite case: shemakes everything look the same. Hersubject is the worst in tacky Ameri¬can interiors; her approach isstraight-on from middle distance, thecamera slightly raised. This perspectTve not only allows access to eachphotograph — one finds a place tostand — but also heightens eachscene's vulgarity. One is affronted;the work, disquieting. Not soSaunders: his 11 prints suggest peace¬fulness, repose. Again, the effectbegins with the subject — meadows,lakes, streams — and is enhanced bythe method: thoughtful but not rigidcomposition, generally large views,and full tones achieved partiallythrough extended exposure. Rich butnot complex, Saunders's work aims toplease. It also compares favorably toRubin's, whose subjects are similarbut seen more closely. Rubin dis¬penses with an exact attention to toneand his best prints — "Dunes and Cot¬tonwood, Colorado, 1976" and"Dunes, Death Valley, California,1977" — juxtapose areas of light anddark in an almost abstract manner.One wishes his others photographswere as lean. Wohlauer's subjects —again, landscapes — differ from oneanother, yet one vision informs all.This is, like Saunders's, an accommo¬dating formalism, but Wohlauer'ssubjects are more intricate. In"Barns and Fences, Yorkshire, 1977"light gray fields are criss-crossed byan irregular pattern of stone fences.The view is a large one, but detailed;the effect is studied, but gives the im¬pression of informality, and, as muchas the subject allows, of spontaneity.Wohlauer's is the most mature style.This show startles not so much be¬cause the photography is so good, butbecause it seems so normal.

RumstickRoad used tapes and slides aboutplaywright Spalding Gray's Rhode Is¬land family to tell the story of Spald¬ing's mother's suicide. The tapeswere of actual conversations betweenGray and his father, grandmotherand his mother's psychiatrist; theslides were of his house, and of hisbrothers and his mother. Over thesewere layered images and actions thatbrought out the agony of his mother("that light-hearted, full of pepwoman"), and the bewilderment ofhis father ("your father was never in¬terested in anyone else...there was alove that was still there.")The Remains Theatre Ensemble hastaken transcriptions of the tapes andone or two of the original images tocreate their own work. Family Snap¬shots emphasizes the creepier aspectsof the story, but it still touches. Al¬though the reading of the dialogue isnecessarily stilted in comparison tothe original, here it serves to empha¬size the poetry that comes through de¬spite ourselves, when our emotionsare so strong there is no other way toexpress them. Family Snapshots isnot a play in any traditional sense;there are no actor's parts, really, ex¬cept for the role of John Forrest(Spalding Gray), played here byLindsay McGee, who acts as ringmas¬ter for the show. The rest of the ensemble perform their "tasks" admir¬ably, without lapsing into aself-conscious, avant garde monotony.Family Snapshots is an agonizing play, but well worth seeing. Perfor¬mances are Wednesdays at 8:00PMand Fridays at 11:00PM through theend of August. Tickets are $5.00 with adollar discount for students and se¬nior citizens.

Shepard skillfullymanipulates the mythos of Hughes indissecting the myth of the self mademan; Seduced is really in investiga¬tion of America itself and its deepest,darkest tendencies. The play is alsoquite hilarious, with sections of cut¬ting black comedy that turn theAmerican language on its head. Theperformance by Remains Theater is awhole that is greater than the sum ofits parts. The group presents themanic side of the work, evoking themythic American Weirdness inherentin all of Shepard's work, but individu¬al performances tended to lack a cer¬tain clarity.

But the film did manage totransfer their anarchic wit and sub¬lime silliness from stage to screen in¬tact, opening the way for their latermasterpieces.

Whatever success it hasis due primarily to three factors:Judy Garland, Judy Garland andJudy Garland. Garland gives one ofher best performances in this tellingof the mildly offensive Hollywoodmyth about a woman whose marriagecrumbles as her career moves in theopposite direction from her hus¬band's. George Cukor does a competent job with the color camerawork,but (except for his direction of Garland) this is not one of his better efforts. His pacing is out of step and, at154 minutes, A Star is Born is about ahalf hour too long — but then thatmeans an extra half hour of Garlanddoing such fabulous numbers as Bornin a Trunk and The Man That GotAway. Her husband is played byJames Mason, whose presence in themovies (or on this earth for that mat¬ter) has never been adequately justi¬fied to me. Wednesday at 8 in Quantrell.

Not only is it preachy and cute,but the comparisons of the Paul Newman character with Christ are so pretentiously ridiculous that it is hard totake the movie's social consciousnessseriously. Still, if you've never seenCool Hand Luke, you're bound toenjoy it. Newman is great as an iconoclastic prisoner on a southern chaingang who refuses to be broken by thesadistic guards. Several of the seriousscenes are lifted out of the grim 1932classic I am a Fugitive From a ChainGang, but the humorous ones arefresh and original. Particularly mem orable are Newman's egg eating con Th<test and a guard's threatening repeti- ltion of a line more suited to a dpsychiatrist's couch than a chain <-gang.

The plot is simple: ahusband and a wife who despise eachother divorce and then each onespends much of the rest of the filmtrying to ruin any potential relation¬ships the former spouse might devel¬op with others. Ralph Bellamy plays ahick who is chasing the newly di¬vorced Dunne while trying to placatehis prudish mother, much like hislater role in His Girl Friday. AlthoughDunne is not well known today, herwork in the pre World War II era wasthe equal of any of the great comedyactresses of the period, includingHepburn, Stanwyck, Lombard andLoy. And no matter how much CaryGrant is appreciated, he is underrat¬ed. Like all great screwball comedies,The Awful Truth is very witty, verymodern and very silly all at the sametime.

SOQ; $1.50.The Fury (Brian De Palma, 1978): Itstarts off promisingly, but pretty soonThe Fury devolves into an aimlessmuddle that even De Palma's impressive pyrotechnics are powerless todisguise. Andrew Stevens plays ayoung man possessed of telekineticpowers who is kidnapped by a government agency heaaded by John Cassavetes. Kirk Douglas, as Stevens' father, enlists the aid of CarrieSnodgrass (whose return to thescreen is perhaps the movie's onlysaving grace) and Amy Irving, who isalso psychic, to help him find his son.That foolishness about telekinesis(moving objects at will, usually to vio lent ends in De Palma's movies)worked well enough in Carrie, whereit served as a kind of adolescent wish-fulfillment. But in The Fury it's so impersonal that you couldn't care lessabout it, and all those bodies burstingopen and flying through the air getsjust plain redundant to boot. The filmis awfully nice to look at, though. Infact, it's a Chicago Chamber of Commerce dream come true. Most of itwas filmed right here in town — ap¬parently Chicago is the Mecca of psychics — and the locations look postcard perfect. And yes, Court Theaterfans, that is stat professor Pat Bitlingsley playing a man in blue.

SOQ, $1.50 — MAGiant (George Stevens, 1956): As onemight guess from the title, Giant isabout big things, like awesomewealth, the founding of dynasties, andTexas. Elizabeth Taylor plays a plantation belle who marries rancherRock Hudson despite the advances ofsensitive but poor James Dean (in hislast screen appearance). The Deanstrikes oil and becomes the most powerful man in Texas, and passions real¬ly start to flair. Like the setting, everything in the film is a bitoverscaled, including its length. Butwith gigantism as the movie's theme,it's appropriate that its style be so aswell. And some of director Stevens'extravagant treatment is remarkablyeffective; the film contains one of themost memorable Cinemascope images of the '50's, of a Gothic man¬sion standing in the middle of the vastand desolate Texas plain. (It is inter¬esting to note that all three of JamesDeans major films were done in'Scope, the wide screen was most ef¬fective in depicting his sense of isolation.) The film also features an im¬pressively expansive score by DimitriTiomkin and superlative photographyby William C. Mellor.

With the modest moniker Mad Dog it is not surpris¬ing that most self respecting gangsters (Edward G. Robinson, GeorgeRaft, etc.) turned down the part.Humphrey Bogart, whose motto atthe time was "Just Keep Working",took this role, which allowed the morehuman side of his character to biossom. In the script contributed by JohnHuston, Bogart is sprung from prisonin order to engineer a hold up of a resort hotel. Along the way he meets IdaLupino and wonders what life wouldbe like as a person rather than as amad dog. High Sierra's successmeant that Bogart never again tooksecond billing and the good partsstarted rolling in (The Maltese Falcon) that same year, Casablanca thenext). Although High Sierra is a middling Walsh and a lesser Bogart, it isworth a look. Friday, August 22, at7:15 and 9:30 in Quantrell. SOQ; $1.50-JLThe Thin Man (W. S. Van Dyke II, 1934): This movie was made in something like three weeks, and went on tobecome one of the most popular comedies of all time. It comes from Dashiell Hammett's story of the samename, about supersleuth NickCharles (William Powell) and hisscatterbrained wife Nora (MyrnaLoy) who happens to have a penchantfor detective work herself. The wittyrepartee flows as freely as Powell'subiquitous martinis, and helped to seta whole new tone for mystery movies.The mystery, by the way, is a goodone, but it definitely takes a back seatto the picture's playfulness. The sceneof William Powell shooting out the ornaments on the Christmas tree is theepitome of '30's screwball comedy.And let's not forget the real star of theshow, Asta the wire haired terrier.Nick and Nora's marriage is blessedly free of issue, but they get to lavishtheir rather dubious parental in¬stincts on a canine star whose naturalgrace and endearing manner putBenji to shame.

A truly AllStar band comprised of Dizzy Gillespie,Parker's main drummer Max Roach, bas-sust Ray Brown, pianist Al Haig, and JamesMoody, one of the immediate heirs ofParker's tenor style, will be the highlight inan evening of highlights that also includesChicago trumpeter Paul Serrano, and a per¬formance by Parker's mentor Jay McShannand his current Kansas City band includingBudd Johnson on tenor sax and bassist GeneRamey. Friday also includes the sleeper ofthe festival: the pairing of trumpeter RedRodney with Chicago's prodigal son Ira Sul¬livan. Sullivan is one of the most talented of living jazz musicians who, for a variety ofreasons, leads a rather anonymous life inMiami, Florida. His Chicago appearancesdemonstrate his prowess on trumpet, saxes,and flutes. Rodney and Sullivan will bebacked by the best trio of the festival, pian¬ist Chris Anderson, bassist Bill Lee, anddrummer Wilbur Campbell.

But Saturday he will appearwith an orchestra of alumni of his GrandTerrace band of the 1920s and 30s.

TOLL foil 006-22S-17UJ All Dressed to Killwith No Place to GoDressed to Kill.Written and directed by BrianDe Palma. Produced by GeorgeLitto. Released by Filmways.With Michael Caine, Angie Dick¬inson, Nancy Allen, and KeithGordon.by Mike AlperBrian De Palma has built a career on imi¬tating Alfred Hitchcock. His latest offering,Dressed to Kill, is a handsome, entertainingfilm, but it sure ain't Hitchcock. Granted, it'snot quite fair to criticize any work of art, highor low, for not being great. But when an artistovertly emulates the work of another who hasalready been acknowledged as great, heseems to be begging for a comparison. A de¬monstration of just how far short De Palmanas fallen in reproducing the models he haschosen to emulate might be useful in pointingout the most significant shortcomings in hislatest film.The plot of Dressed to Kill is borrowed, ormaybe transposed is a better word, fromHitchcock's Psycho, and concerns variousmodes of sexual confusion and repressionerupting into violence. The story begins withthe efforts of a bored, repressed housewife(Angie Dickinson) to find some sort of outletfor her sexual frustrations, with the aid ofpsychiatrist Michael Caine (not that kind ofaid, though she does attempt that as well). Todescribe the plot much further would spoil themystery, and you might as well get yourmoney's worth of surprises, weak as they are.Let it suffice to say that after Ms. Dickinsonachieves a measure of gratification, a myste¬rious, razor-wielding blonde in a black rain¬coat appears, whose intentions seem to be tothreaten the safety of those women in the filmwho are able to exercise a degree of sexualfreedom, like some sort of demented aveng¬ing angel. The plot is attended by various chicnotions of androgyny, guilt, and potency asassault, and it takes very useful advantage ofthe more current feminist concerns aboutsexism and rape.In order to act out his psychosexual mise enscene, De Palma has employed some of themost up-to-date film techniques with oftendazzling virtuosity. Take as an example themuch talked about sequence in which Ms.Dickinson pursues, and is pursued by, a darkstranger through the galleries of the Metro¬politan Museum. The mobility of De Palma'slong tracking shots is greatly enhanced by theuse of a Steadicam, which enables him toswoop and glide through this claustrophobicsequence with exquisite deftness. He gets intothe dark corners, not just of the museum, butof the whole cat-and mouse situation.De Palma also uses some firmly estab¬lished but still flashy techniques to make hispoints. In the scene corresponding to Psy¬cho's shower scene, De Palma uses super-slow motion (in a marked departure, by theway, from Hitchcock's rapid montage). In hisprevious movies, especially Carrie and TheFury, this always came across as merely per¬verse, little more than an excuse to dwell onhis state of the art bloodletting. To a certainextent that's true here as well. But two gestures in this scene justify the perversity of hisslow motion treatment. The first is whenNancy Allen, as a Wall Street hooker who wit¬nesses one of the blonde's attacks, reaches forthe outstretched hand of the victim. The sec¬ond is when she catches a glimpse of the killerin a mirror. The slow motion photographymakes the attempt to touch seem titanic, andfor some reason (De Palma's intentionsmaybe?) visions of Conrad and Dostoevskyflashed through my head as I watched thescene. The transference of guilt, shame, ana suffering onto a double? Why not. It fits themovie well. It was even there in Psycho, andwhile it was a more complex transferencethere, De Palma makes it less literal andschematic and therefore that much more ac¬cessible in its larger significance (whateverthat might be). Instead of making victim andwitness literal sisters, De Palma makes itperfectly clear that they are sisters under theskin. It was a sublime moment while it last¬ed.In describing this scene in such detail, Ihave tried to stress that it works because DePalma's flashy technique is very evidentlyappropriate to the underlying meaning of thescene. But moments like this, in which you re¬ally get the feeling that you know what DePalma is up to, and that he wants you to know,are all too rare in Dressed to Kill. He seems totake far greater delight in throwing us off thetrack, leading us into blind alleys and culs-desac to keep us from catching on. At one pointNancy Allen in Dressed to Kill.he throws in an entire plot line, which only atthe end is revealed to be separate from themain course of action, for The sole purpose ofdisguising the killer's identity. (That extraplot line is itself so fraught with implausibili-ties that one can only wonder why De Palmahas gone to such lengths to make the killer'ssudden reappearance plausible in the firstplace. I guess it's only a movie.) Sure, the fre¬quent plot twists and cinematic flourisheslend the film a certain lustre, but applied soindiscriminately, that lustre serves more as adistraction than as a highlight. Like thewoman in the Pledge commercial, he's beenpolishing the polish for so long that you can’tsee the furniture. When Hitchcock throws inone of his patented flourishes like the shower scene in Psycho, or the tracking shot thatswoops into a closeup of the key in IngridBergman's hand in Notorious, he does so tomake us sit up and take notice of somethingthat should be noticed. Hitchcock often shockshis viewers, but he shocks them into sense;though the initial effect may be one of dis¬orientation, he does so in order to steer us inanother direction. (Hitchcock, however, isoften guilty of misdirecting his flourishes aswell. The chase on the Statue of Liberty inSaboteur, for instance, beautifully filmed as itis, means next to nothing in the context of thefilm. But the most memorable and effectiveflourishes, like the crop-dusting sequence inNorth By Northwest, or any number of classicsequences, work precisely because they clari¬fy the significance of the scene.) When Hitch¬cock pulls off one of his twists, he's like themagician who pulls the tablecloth out fromunder the place settings. De Palma snatchesthe tablecloth, watches the dishes clatter tothe floor (usually in slow motion), and laughsbecause we fell for his skillful patter. ha ha, itwas only a dream, or a phony clue, or a mis¬placed sentiment. You just can't trust thatguy.One might argue that De Palma's approachhas to be somewhat confusing, because thesubject matter itself is by its nature ambiva¬lent. That strikes me as a shoddy justificationfor an ambivalent approach. Once again to in¬voke the shade of Hitchcock, we find that hewas no slouch when it came to dealing withsituations that were inherently ambivalent.Hitchcock's strategy was to lay bare themoral dilemmas his protagonists found them¬selves in, not to succumb to them.The problem with Dressed to Kill may bethat De Palma is too close to his subject to seeit clearly. The widely divergent quality of performances in this movie certainly supportsthis impression. Michael Caine's perfor¬mance really suggests some depth of passionwhich could account for his actions. But DePalma's treatment of his female characterscould set the cause of Women's Liberationback a hundred years. Angie Dickinson'scharacter could be interpreted as anythingfrom a silly, horny nonentity to a profoundlylonesome woman. And Nancy Allen could beanything from a mindless Kewpie doll to anup-to-date Lulu, wreaking havoc with her sex¬uality. Ms. Allen's performance is so blandand uninspired that her character leanstoward triviality; how are we to believeseriously in the power of her sexual attractionwhen, in her big seduction scene, she talkslike a letter to Penthouse?De Palma has suggested that his films owemore to the imagery of dreams than to "real''life. If so, then he may be excused the irratio¬nality of his technique. But I still object to theinsincerity of De Palma's manipulative tac¬tics and to the all too fashionable cynicism ofhis vision. Why should he go to such pains toengage our "real" (as opposed to, say, sur¬real) interest in the subject with such forcefulness and clarity, as in the murder scene de¬scribed above? By subverting our realinvolvement in the scene, he cheats us out ofwhat we thought was a real reaction, andfrom that point on we suspect every attemptto engage us once again. And even if we abandon ourselves completely to De Palma'sdream vision, it would seem to be an awfullydispiriting experience that would provide nei¬ther joy, nor light, nor help for pain. DePalma's dream that never ends is defined bythe idea of violent and inescapable death,with no interest beyond the next cheap, grue¬some thrill.Whichever way you look at it, as social sat¬ire, dream vision, sophomoric parody or whatyou will, De Palma doesn't keep his cards onthe table. He treats the real world and thedream world with equal irony, as if we wereexpected to shrug either one off as a bad joke.By shuffling back and forth between every¬day life and this joyless dream world, he denies us our hold on both the logic of wakeful¬ness and the beauty of dreams. He leaves usdressed to kill but with no place to go.the grey city journal —Friday, August 8, 1980 -9Final InningsWith the playoffs approaching rapidly,summer softball teams are jockeying for po¬sition.
