Gary Hart (D., Colorado),MIT President Emeritus JeromeWeisner, Brookings InstituteDirector John Steinbruner, andPhysicians for Social Responsibili¬ty President Helen Caldicott.The declared purpose of the con¬ference was to stimulate public de¬bate on the nuclear issue. TheCommittee hopes, by making in¬formation accessible, to enhancethe role of citizen action in deter¬mining nuclear policy.The conference ends today fol¬lowing a workshop in Ida NoyesHall.The program began Wednesdaywith Caldicott’s opening addresson “The Medical Effects of Nu¬clear War.” Caldicott’s speechcentered around an emotional,peo¬ple-oriented approach to the pre¬vention of nuclear conflict.Citing numerous historical refer¬ences designed to acquaint the au¬dience with what she called “theincredibly tenuous situation of theworld we live in,” Caldicott at¬tacked hawkish Reagan Adminis¬tration policies.Caldicott claimed that the justifi¬cation for the American armsbuild-up was based upon two fac¬tors: the CIA-organized “Team B”group’s report on Soviet militaryresources and the notion thatAmerica could survive a nuclearwar by the efforts of its citizens toconstruct fallout shelters.“Next year’s distribution of theWashington inmayoral race tracking devices. Therefore, shestated, any future negotiations willhave to be based on a mutual trustwhich in reality does not exist.“The window of opportunity isopen for one year only,” she told anapplauding audience, “then itslams shut.”Caldicott called upon people totake an active part in deciding forthe nuclear freeze by writing tocongressmen and becoming edu¬cated about the technical aspectsof nuclear warfare. She said theonly way to influence Republicanlawmakers is to convince themthat nuclear warfare is “bad forbusiness.”Caldicott also said that the nu¬clear situation presents “the end ofour concept of immortality” andclaimed that “science has re¬moved emotion from the world.”She concluded her address with anemotional reading of Shake¬speare’s 18th Sonnet.The conference continued Thurs¬day with workshops, Weisner’s keynote address, and a debate be¬tween Steinbruner and U of C polit¬ical science Professor John Mear-sheimer on the resolution that “theUnited States should adopt a policyof not initiating the use of nuclearweapons.”Mearsheimer, arguing againstthe resolution, said that a U.S. “nofirst use” policy and the removalof nuclear weapons from Europewould increase the risk that a con¬flict could break out there. He saidthat the Soviet attitude toward aEurope without nuclear weaponswould be more aggressive than it isnow because “conventional war isless horrible, and therefore morelikely.”Mearsheimer said that “Europe¬an nations, and Germany in partic¬ular, will be adamant in their non-acceptance of no first use. He saidthat as a result, declaration of nofirst use would be very harmful tothe United States’ NATO alliance.“In general, the more nuclearweapons you have, and the more you disburse them throughoutEurope,” Mearsheimer concluded,“the less likely a pre-emptivestrike by Russia, and therefore nu¬clear war, will become.”Steinbruner countered, statingthat “the present distribution ofnuclear weapons in Europe and thecurrent commitment of U.S. policyto deterrence by threat of initiatingtheir use makes nuclear war morelikely.” He called the European de¬ployments “a hair trigger” and animpetus toward first use whichwould cause world-wide nuclearconflict.Both Mearsheimer and Stein¬bruner agreed that the concept of a“limited nuclear war” has beenmade unlikely by the current nu¬clear setup.The final activities of the confer¬ence were workshops on the “Med¬ical Aspects of Nuclear War” and“Strategy and the Balance ofPower.” Hart spoke last night inRockefeller Chapel on “A NewAgenda for Arms Control.”Stigler explains Nobel theoriesBy Steve ShandorGeorge Stigler, UC’s latest Nobelprize-winning economist, ex¬plained some of his economictheories to the residents of Breck¬inridge House at a sherry hourTuesday. Stigler had been invitedto the sherry hour by Resident As¬sistant Joetta Forsyth before theannouncement that he was thisyear’s recipient of the Nobel Prizefor economics.Stigler displayed his legendarysense of humor in explaining manyof his ideas at Breckinridge. TheBy Cliff GrammichAs expected, U.S. Representa¬tive Harold Wash t gton yesterdayannounced his candidacy formayor of Chicago Washington isengaged in a bid to become thecity’s first black mayor. In 1977,after late Mayor Richard J.Daley’s death, Washington fin¬ished third in a field behind Aid.Roman Pucinski and formermayor Michael Bilandic. Pucinskiis expected by some to enter therace.Present at Washington’s an¬nouncement were Hyde Park inde¬pendent politicians such as FifthWard Alderman Larry Bloom,State Representative BarbaraFlynn Currie, and Fifth WardCommitteeman Alan Dobry. Incommenting on the campaign,Dobry stated that if Washingtonappeals to all the people of the city,and not just to the black communi¬ty, he could have a strong chance at succeeding Mayor Jane Byrne.Washington in his announcementstated that in addition to his core ofsupport from black voters, hewould also strive for the votes ofpoor whites and the Hispanic com¬munity. In addition to involving allof the people of the city in his cam¬paign, Washington may also haveto explain legal difficulties whichclouded his 1977 attempt at themayor’s office.Washington also acknowledgedthat he will need funding for thismayoral campaign, somethingwhich his 1977 bid did not have.At present, only two announcedcandidates are competing for themayor’s office — State’s AttorneyRichard M. Daley and Washington.Byrne is considered certain to runfor re-election. Some analysts ex¬pect Pucinski to enter the race.Washington will be on campusThursday, to speak at the U of CDemocrats “Democratic LectureSeries.” economist dismissed supply-sideeconomics as just a lot of “sillytalk” and compared it to trying tocut a piece of paper with only onescissor. Stigler avoided answeringstrictly political questions andstated simply, “I don’t have muchto say on subjects like Reagano¬mics.”Stigler talked to the Breck¬inridge residents mainly about hisown economic theories. The econ¬omist put forth his ideas concern¬ing the economics of information— ideas which have been “immedi¬ately seized up by the (economic)profession.” Stigler said that hehad always wondered why it wasassumed that each consumer pos¬sesses perfect information whenthis had been proved empiricallynot to be the case.Stigler explained that assumingperfect information would meanthat there shoud be only one mar¬ket price for identical items (forexample, identical model automo¬biles). Under such conditions, nofirm would sell its product for lessthan the market price and no con¬sumer would pay more than themarket price for the product.Stigler pointed out that the rangeof prices which generally sur¬rounds even identical productsfrom different stores disproves theidea that each consumer has per¬fect information.“I tried to quantify this phenom¬enon (of information),” Stiglersaid. He was able to do so by defin¬ing “a certain amount of informa¬tion” and then putting a price tagon it. Stigler then said that there isan optimum amount of informationfor each consumer. For productswhich the consumer purchased fre¬quently (bread and milk, for exam¬ple), it is in the consumer’s inter¬est to know where to get the bestvalue. For products purchased only occasionally, it is not neces¬sarily profitable for the consumerto try to acquire a great deal of in¬formation.Stigler said that there was “nocontroversy at all” when he pro¬posed his theory of information.“Everyone was glad to have it, be¬cause it filled a gap in thescience,” Stigler explained. “Iopened a door and said, ‘Look atthat roomful of wonderful prob¬lems.’ ”Stigler contrasted the wide¬spread acceptance of his viewswith the “huge controversy over”the views of Milton Friedman.Stigler dubbed his colleague’scombative style of writing“Occam’s razor with maybe fiveblades” and noted that manyKeynesian economists don't knowwhat to write about until they’veread Friedman’s latest article. InStigler’s view this gives Friedman“a formidable command over the forces of the profession.”Stigler explained his work in thefield of government regulations aswell to the Breckinridge crowd.Stigler said that the federal gov¬ernment in our time has become“a patron and guardian as well asa policeman.” This has led to an in¬crease in the number and kind ofgovernment regulations of in¬dustry, he said. Stigler believesthat “the kind of regulation thatcomes from special (interest)groups is almost always detrimen¬tal.” Stigler specifically cited theminimum wage law and the newwave of protectionism sweepingthe country in this connection.Stigler examined the difficulty ofdetermining the effect of all thisregulation. “You really can’t tell ifthe Sherman (Antitrust) Act hasreduced the amount of collusion inAmerica,” Stigler said, becauseyou can’t just ask a businessmanabout it and expect a straight an¬swer. Stigler suggested, “Everytime you pass a law, you shouldsay that some segment of the popu¬lation is exempted from that law.”This segment can then be used as acontrol for purposes of compari¬son.Stigler told the residents ofBreckinridge that he is “a defend¬er of the rationality of the politicalprocess.” There is “a huge legendabout the irrationality of people intheir political behavior that islargely undocumented,” Stiglersaid. Such a condescending atti¬tude tow ard the general populationhas helped the federal governmentto justify expanding its role in eco¬nomic affairs and has put Ameri¬cans in a position where policy de¬cisions can be manipulated bypowerful special interest groupsmasquerading as defenders of thepeople.George StiglerAt the Phoenix...LEFTOVERSANYONE?Due to a vast array of albums leftthroughout our stock, the Phoenixwill be having aLEFT-OVER SALEHow many SALES can we haveat one time?...Only the Record Manager knows.To refresh your memory, theSALES are:• POLYGRAM THREE-IN-ONE• RCA BEST BUY..ONLY $3.75• TOP 24 ALBUMS.. 10% OFF• PLUS, ANY OTHERS THERECORD MANAGER CANTHINK OF...

NewsMiller at WoodwardNews in briefhas been given since it was established 15years ago.Dr.Wissler was awarded the “Coeur d’Or”for his contributions to the understanding ofthe pathogenesis of the atherosclerotic pla¬que and his long service as a volunteer forthe Chicago Heart Association (CHA). Hewas cited for his leadership and his contri¬butions to the CHA as a member of theBoard of Governors and as president in1972-73, as well as for his role in the develop¬ment of the Chicago Heart Health Curricu¬lum Program, his service as OrganizingSecretary and Chairman of the ProgramCommittee of the Second International Sym¬posium on Atherosclerosis sponsored by theCHA in 1969 and his active work on the Coun¬cil on Arteriosclerosis of the AmericanHeart Association, the midwestern researchreview panel and the Board of Directors ofAHA.Jack Benny was the first recipeint of the“Coeur d’Or” in 1967, because of his role asthe “walking man” in the contest whichraised millions of dollars for research. Sincethat time the Coeur d’Or has been given tonationally and internationally recognizedphysicians and scientists who have contri¬buted substantially to the understanding ofcardiovascular disease. Among former re¬cipients are Paul Dudley White, MorrisFishbein and Jeremiah Stamler.U of C tax debtWhat do the University of Chicago andJohn Z. Delorean have in common? Neitherof them have been paying their taxes ontime. The University owes $29,735.84 on atextbook depository at 5608 S. Stony IslandAve. and $1,608.63 on a lot next door. Bothproperties are considered delinquent landby the Cook County treasurer and will be putup for sale at the County Building of CookCounty Dec. 13. Long considered an archi¬tectural landmark for its bare, artless de¬sign, we hope the University will cough upthe funds to keep the property. By Maeve Dwyer“I may not be as witty as George Stigler,but I think I’ll at least top Adlai Stevenson,”laughs Merton Miller, Leon Carroll Mar¬shall Distinguished Service Professor in theGraduate School of Business. Miller will de¬liver Sunday’s Woodward Court Lectureseries at 8:30 p.m.Miller will speak on the “January Anoma¬ly,” a title deliberately chosen for its vague¬ness and “intended to be intriguing” to thepotential audience, he said.“As the word “anomaly” suggests, I’mgoing to focus on the puzzling results thatMerton Miller have turned up recently in my field (securi¬ty prices),” he explains. Though reluctantto elaborate “too much” about the lectureitself, he says, “The emphasis will be on thechallenges and frustrations facing re¬searchers in every field, and will representthe common challenges we all meet.”“I want to emphasize,” he cautions in aneffort to dispel the apprehensions of his non¬business-minded listeners, ‘that no knowl¬edge of the stock market or economics is re¬quired. The lecture is self-contained.”When first asked to give the lecture, Mill¬er said he sought a topic that would discuss“something the audience would find inter¬esting and unexpected.” He continues, “Wehave triumphs and disasters like everyoneelse. I want to look at why it’s important tostudy these phenomena.”Miller stressed the relatively casual andrelaxed tone of the Woodward Court lecturein contrast to the rather strained classroomsetting. “It’s not a lecture. It’s a talk,” hesays. “It’s not like a class, it’s more an afterdinner talk.”Miller welcomes the opportunity to speakwith undergraduates and other collegemembers with whom he has little interac¬tion. “It was a thrill to be invited to talk tothese people,” Miller says.The Woodward Court Lecture series pro¬vides an arena in which professors such asMiller can participate in part of the Univer¬sity they might not otherwise work with.Miller has “no contact with undegraduates”and says that he is looking forward to hav¬ing the opportunity to share his ideas withthem. “It really is a thrill to be giving thelecture,” he said.Miller's lecture, to be given in the Wood¬ward Court cafeteria, will be followed by areception in the apartment of ResidentHeads Izaak and Pera Wirszup.•2GRANDPRIZE W INNERS win an allexpense paid trip for themselvesand a friend to Toronto forTHE WHO’s last performance.• 50 FIRST PRIZE W INNERSwin a Koss Music Box personalportable cassette player along with a cassette of“It’s Hard”, the latest release bvTHE W HO.• 500 SECOND PRIZEWINNERS win THE WHO’s “ItsHard” album plus a SchlitzWHOtour T-shirt.Emrv Blanks available at participating packagestore, anti most ol vour favorite watering holes.SCHUTZ ROCKS AMERICAENTRIES MUST BE RECEIVED BY NOVEMBER 30 '98?The Chicago Maroon—Friday, November 12, 1982—3* CULTURE & FREEDOM * CHARACTER & SOCIETY*SELF,CULTURE&SOCIETY*SOC.2*SELF,CULTURESOCIETY*“GeneralEducationintheSocialSciences:Reflectionson40YearsofSocialSciences2”ASymposiumSponsoredByTheDeanoftheCollege•TheForumforLiberalLearningTheUniversityofChicago•November12-14,1982ScheduleofEvents*Friday,November12Saturday,November139:00a.m.WelcomeandIntroductiontotheSymposiumSpeakers:HannaGray(President,Univ.ofChicago)DonaldLevine(DeanoftheCollege,Chicago)Chairman:SusanneRudolph(PoliticalScienceandtheCollege,Chicago)QuantrellAuditorium10:00a.m.Session:ModesofInquiry.ModesofI.earningSpeaker:“TheScholarlyTension.GraduateCraftandUndergraduateImagination*'JosephGusfield(Sociology,California-SanDiego)Respondents:KeithBaker(HistoryandtheCollege,Chicago)DanielBell(Sociology,Harvatd)Quantum:JohnMacAloon(SocialSciences,theCollege.Chicago)QuantrellAuditorium2:00p.m.Session:ValuesinGeneralEducationSpeaker:“ReminiscencesandReflections"PhilipRieff(Sociology.Pennsylvania)Respondents:J.DavidGreenstone(PoliticalScienceandtheCollege.Chicago)HamidWechsler(EducationandtheCollege,Chicago)Chairman:PeterHomans(DivinityandtheCollege,Chicago)QuantrellAuditorium8:00p.m.PanelDiscussion:AxestoGrindandOxentoGore:MythsandHistoriesofSoc.2Panelists:MiltonSinger(AnthropologyandtheCollege,Chicago)DavidOrlinsky(BehavioralSciencesandtheCollege.Chicago)BertramCohler(BehavioralSciencesandtheCollege,Chicago)RalphNicholas(AnthropologyandtheCollege.Chicago)Chairman:SusanneRudolph(PoliticalScienceandtheCollege.Chicago)SwiftLectureRoomAllSymposiumEventsAreFreeandOpentothePublicPresentandFormerSix.2StudentsantiFacultyAreEspeciallyEncouragedtoAttendThisSymposiumismadepossiblebyagrantfromMauriceF.FultonandMurielG.FultonQuantrellAuditorium,CobbHall,5811EllisAvenueSwiftLectureR<x>m,SwiftHall,1025E.58thStreet9:00a.m.Session:PolicyandTheoryin(GeneralEducationCoursesSpeakers:“PrivatePainandPublicPolicy"DavidBakan(Psychology,York)“ThePortableSoc.2,or.WhattoDoUntiltheDoctrineComes"MareGalanter(Law.Wisconsin-Madison)Respondents:IraKipnis(SocialSciences,theCollege,Chicago)JacobGetzels(EducationandtheCollege.Chicago)Chairman:RichanJTaub(SocialSciences,theCollege.Chicago)SwiftLectureRoom2:00p.m.Session:ConceptsandContextsofSocialScienceSpeakers:“AlternativeSocialSciences’*McKimMarriott(AnthropologyandtheCollege,Chicago)“SrxialScienceandHistoricalCultures"SylviaThrupp(History,Michigan)Respotulents:HarryHarootunian(HistoryandtheCollege,Chicago)RalphNicholas(AnthropologyandtheCollege.Chicago)Chaimuin:RaymondFogelson(AnthropologyandtheCollege,Chicago)SwiftLectureHall8:00p.m.PanelDiscussion:GeneralEducationintheSocialSciences:The1xgaevforLifePanelists:Soc.2andCollegeAlumniSwiftLectureRoomSunday,November149:00a.m..Session:TheFutureof(ieneralEducationintheSocialSciencesSpeakers:“ReflectionsontheSymposiumfromtheNationalPerspective”LewisCoser(Sociology,SUNY-Stonyhrook)DanielBell(Sociology,Harvard)"ReflectionsontheSymposiumfromtheChicagoPerspective”WendyOlmsted(Director,ForumforLiberalLearning.Chicago)DonaldLevine(DeanoftheCollege.Chicago)SwiftLectureRoomSELF,CULTURE,&SOCIETY*SOC.SCI.2*SELF,CULTURE&SOCIETY! CHARACTER&SOCIETY*CULTURE&FREEDOM*InterviewsTest King Kaplan: “Teaching is my life”By David Brooks JStanley Kaplan is founder of the StanleyH. Kaplan Test Preparation Centers. Lastyear, students taking his SAT prep coursetotaled 74,000 in 111 centers all over thecountry, with receipts topping $22 million.In addition, about 40 percent of those takingthe MCATs, about 43,000 students, and 20percent of those taking the LSATs, about107,000 students, ehrolled in his courses.In 1979, a Federal Trade Commissionstudy found that Kaplan's courses producedgains of about 25 points for the SATs and 25to 30 points for the LSATs. Last winter theNational Academy of Sciences confirmedthese results by finding that though shortterm “coaching" has a negligible effect ontest performance, long term courses, likeKaplan's, can have a “substantial im¬pact.”These studies have prompted a storm ofcontroversy concerning Kaplan's coursesand the tests themselves. Currently, Kaplanspends a gooc deal of his time touring thecountry justifying his program. Last Thurs¬day he came to Ida Noyes Hall and with Chi¬cago Kaplan Center Manager SheldonSmith, and Lisa Lecker, a business schoolstudent and Kaplan, spoke to The Maroon.Maroon: How does one get into your busi¬ness? You certainly didn’t grow up thinkingyou’d teach these sorts of courses.Kaplan: People ask what I did before I wasteaching. I say, “I was born.” I just love toteach. When my friends used to play doctor,I played teacher. In high school I used to dotutoring: algebra, arithmetic, and so on. Bythe time I graduated from City College ofNew York at age 17,1 had developed a clien¬tele. I must have had about 200 students.I did this for about ten years graduallybuilding up until I had four or five hundredstudents, visiting their homes and as I gotbusy (and I didn’t have the time to travel)they would come to my home and I had a study in which I taught them. I was alwaysinterested in seeing how students werelearning and developing my own methods ofinstruction which were, to say the least, un¬orthodox. When you do things on your ownyou don’t have to follow prescribed princi¬ples. What I had in my teachings were morepizzazz to make it more palatable.And then when the SAT was inventedsome of these students I was tutoring askedme to help them prepare for the SAT.Maroon: So it was really at the student’ssuggestion. . .Kaplan: Everything was at the student’s suggestion. People ask how did I think ofthis great idea? The answer is, I never did.Students suggested it and I said, ‘‘Hey,that’s a great idea!” I didn’t even knowwhat the SAT was. Somebody showed methe pamphlets and I taught what was inthem, and then others wanted me to helpand I didn’t have time so they suggested,“Why don’t you teach us in a group?” Andby this time other tests were developed andstudents came up to me and said, “Re¬member me, Mr. Kaplan? You taught me inhigh school. And now I’ve got the LSAT orthe MCAT.” It was basicallv the same skills I had been teaching all along, and the testspublished sample questions so it was easyfor me to develop my materials. Now, mymaterials are much more sophisticated. Idon’t even recognize the methods I wasusing in the 1950s. It’s like looking at the TVsthey were making in the fifties. They wereso crude.Then some students wanted help withtheir National Medical Boards and I’m not aphysician but I had some med studentsworking with me for help on the MCATs andthey were very bright so I had them teach,and this is how I got into the licensing. Theysuggested that, too.All this time, up until the late sixties I wasonly in Brooklyn and that’s when I noticedthat more and more students were comingfrom Chicago, from Los Angeles, fromDallas, to Brooklyn to take my course. I’dask them, “What are you? Some kind ofnut?” Because they’d be spending thou¬sands of dollars to take a few hundred dollarcourse. They said to me, “Look, why can’twe have courses out there?” At the begin¬ning I was a little reticent because I thoughtI had to be there. You can't have a StanleyH. Kaplan course without Stanley H. Ka¬plan. But I tried it in Philadelphia and itworked. In fact, Chicago was our fifthcenter in the country. Again, I didn’t think ofit. The students thought of it.Maroon: Most teachers I’ve had here saythey were interested in history or literaturefirst and then developed an interest in teach¬ing. You seem to have approached it fromthe other wav around.Kaplan: I just love the idea of putting thingsacross. I remember once when I was play¬ing stickball, I must have been about 12 or13, and a friend was having problems swing¬ing with his wrists, but he didn't really care.I paid him a dime to have him sit down fortwo hours and listen to me teach him how toswing. I love to put ideas across and I got areal thrill at that moment.Two perspectives on IsraeliColonel’s viewBy S. David NovakTzvi El-Peleg is a researcher at the Shi-loah Institute for Middle East Research atTel-Aviv University. As a colonel in the re¬serves of the Israel Defense Forces, he wasin charge of the army’s civilian relief opera¬tions in Lebanon during the recent war. El-Peleg was interviewed by a group of peoplefrom the U of C and Northwestern Tuesday;the following excerpts from the interviewhave been edited for style.Q: What did Israel do to minimize civiliancasualties during the war in Lebanon?A: Leaflets were dropped to warn the ci¬vilian population to leave, in Sidon, Tyre,Ein Hulweh. I questioned one of their lead¬ers there, and asked him why there were sofew civilian casualties. He said, “if you hadseen how many leaflets they dropped here,day and night, and broadcasting on theradio asking us to leave. . The well-to-dowent to the mountains, and the others wentto the seashore. It was not so easy on theseashore, but still, it saved their lives.Q: What is your estimate of total civiliancasulaties?A: Between 300 and 400 Lebanese werekilled. Many Palestinians were killed, espe¬cially in Ein Hulweh. The PLO was concen¬trated in the mosque there. Israel sent mes¬sages in for four days asking them tosurrender, telling them there was no hope,asking them to let the civilians come out.They kept them as hostages. The postpone¬ment of the operation increased Israeli ca¬sualties; every effort was made to save ci¬vilian lives.Q: Is Israel responsible for the massacrescommitted by the Phalangists in Sabra andChaitila, since Israel’s troops controlled thesurrounding area?A: I witnessed talks between the Israelicommanders and Lebanese army com¬manders. We asked them to go into the refu¬gee camps, to restore order, to make surethere were no weapons, no armed gangs.They refused: they said they had been idlefor eight years, and their muscles were notstrong enough to walk into the camps, maybe they’d be ready in a couple ofmonths. There was a decision made to allowthe Phalangists to go in; maybe this was thewrong choice. I don’t know what the alterna¬tives were. What is for sure is that a statecommittee in Israel, headed by the presi¬dent of the supreme court, is investigatingthe matter now. We must wait and see theoutcome. As an Israeli, I am proud that thestate has this inquiry, and the Prime Min¬ister and the generals are testifying. Theyinvited people from Lebanon to testify, too. Iwas just in Oslo at a meeting held by SeanMcBride and Fahti Arafat, Yassir’sbrother. The witnesses who testified thereasked if they could come to Israel to testify;we invited them, and we will even covertheir expenses to come to Jerusalem andprovide evidence.Q: How does the withdrawal of the PLOfrom Beirut affect the situation on the WestBank?A: The destruction of the PLO enablespeople on the West Bank to talk; they are nolonger afraid of assassination. The time hascome for a political settlement, some ofthem believe.Q: Can’t the PLO still assassinate WestBank leaders?Continued on page 24Tzvi El-Peleg war in Lebanon Continued on page 23MD’s accountBy John EganDr. Christopher Giannou, a Canadian citi¬zen of Greek origin, was in Chicago Wednes¬day to give presentations on the medical andsocial implications of the war in Lebanonthis summer. Giannou was taken prisonerby the Israelis early in the fighting, from thecity of Sidon, and after eight days was re¬leased. Later in the summer he returned toLebanon and visited the North and theBekka Valley, in order to assess the impactthat the events of the summer had on the Pa¬lestinian and Lebanese people. During thissummer he also testified before the U S.Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Thefollowing is a combined transcript of his re¬marks given at Roosevelt University andhere at International House.On His Capture and DetentionI spent only eight days as a prisoner: forfive days the Israelis denied that they hadcaptured me. There were never any chargesleveled against me. I was paraded pastthree hooded people once I was captured,and one of them indicated that I should betaken prisoner. I was taken out of line andhad a large “X” written on the back of myshirt, marking me as one to be detained.That was the most outrageous element ofthe war; that anonymous accusers couldsingle you out and you had no recourse, youcould not confront your accuser. Who knowsthat they were? Double agents, spies, indi¬viduals trying to ingratiate themselves withthe occupying power — there is nothing newabout the arbitrariness of war; however,this seemed to transcend even those limits.To be sure, some of the soldiers of theIsraeli Defense Forces tried to alleviate myhumiliation when I was detained For threedays I was held in St. Joseph’s ConventSchool in Sidon, and then for five days I washeld in a center called Meggido, the Hebrewname from which “Armageddon” isderived. I was taken along with two Norwe¬gian doctors. Special orders had been givennot to abuse my Norwegian colleagues ormyself, and at one point a piece of paper was pinned on me which, according to anIDF officer, contained orders, in Hebrew,that I not be abused.There were divisions within the guards asto the abuse of prisoners, and while I did nothear officers ordering others to abuse someprisoners, they nonetheless tolerated thosebeatings when they occurred. Efforts weremade to alleviate my pain and humiliation,as I said. Instead of having my hands tiedbehind my back, they were tied together infront of me; believe me, this lessens yourhumiliation, for whenever you have to re¬lieve yourself it is not necessary to asksomeone else to open your zipper. Also, onceI was given a can of coca cola by an Israeliofficer, and was told to drink it and not totell anyone.What exactly is going to happen to theroughly 8,000 men — only half of whom arePalestinian — who the Israelis took prison¬er? The conditions of these prisoners, heldin Ansar detention center in southern Le¬banon, were investigated by the Internation¬al Commitee of the Red Cross. They stoppedtheir investigation after three days: thiswas unprecedented in International RedCross history. The Red Cross never makspublic its findings when it does investiga¬tions of this sort — it is their policy. But theydid make it known, indirectly, that the con¬ditions at Ansar left something to be de¬sired. If the conditions at Ansar are thesame as they were at the St. Joseph's Con¬vent School, where I was detained for threedays, then quite a number of prisoners willnot survive.

After suffering through a first half rout, the Maroon teamcame roaring back by identifying such things as the four leading actors in“The Waltons” and the mountain from which Moses viewed the PromisedLand (Mount Nebo). Just as our heroes pulled within striking distance, thejudges ran out of questions and were forced to sit helplessly while the re¬maining minutes in the game ticked away. Transgressions have been com¬mitted at this University before — giving the Pick award to MacNamara,banning football, inventing monetarism — but no such wrongs equal thequeston shortage during last Wednesday’s intramural College Bowl match.We can only deplore the situation and ask “Why?” and “How?”Because of this error, further coverage of College Bowl achievements inthe Maroon seems unlikely.On the positive side, IM College Bowl is one of the most exciting programson campus. By opening up IMs to non-athletic activities, Mike Alper and therest of the College Bowl sponsors have introduced the varsity sport of themind to the entire University. For the 128 participating students, CollegeBowl has introduced the thrill of competition and the pressure of the aca¬demic challenge into our humdrum little lives.We only wish that this tournament could be operated on a larger scale,with more participants and more staff members. Surely with the properpublicity (and more questions) IM College Bowl could become one of themost popular activities on campus. Once the varsity team is organized wehope that they will sponsor a larger tournament, and we hope that manystudents have the good sense to compete.LettersSAGE adviceTo the editor:While graduate life is often what onemakes of it, the institutional setting of grad¬uate education at the UC has contributed inlarge part to a number of student com¬plaints about academic and social life.Despite dissatisfaction with competitivefunding, the lack of close contact betweenfaculty and students, and so forth, the factremains that the overall quality of UC grad¬uate education is among the finest in thecountry. To cite my own case, I find that theUniversity’s high academic standards havemade a tremendous impact on my approachto scholarship. The skills that I have ac¬quired here will remain throughout my en¬tire life.But academic excellence cannot alto¬gether substitute for a collegiate atmo¬sphere. There is a great need for studentsand faculty members to explore, develop,and communicate ideas with each other inboth formal and informal settings, it is inthe interest of all parties concerned that thequality of student life is improved at UC.Towards this end, among others, theBaker Commission on Graduate Educationhas proposed that a research institute be es¬tablished in the humanities and socialsciences to provide much needed discussionof academic and policy issues. Also beingconsidered by the Administration is the pro¬vision of office space and study carrels in aneffort to give graduate students a sense ofbelonging to the University. The renovationof Ida Noyes Hall and Center for ContinuingEducation (CCE) represent further positivesteps towards improving social life.However, the quality of campus life is notlimited to circumstances internal to the Uni¬versity. There are the more general issuesof the scarcity of academic jobs, the need totrain people for non-academic careers, andthe increasing length of time that it takesstudents to receive their Ph.D.s all acrossthe country.It is with all of these considerations inmind that the Student Association on Gradu¬ate Education (SAGE) was founded, withthe expressed purpose of providing a forumfor graduate students to discuss currentproblems in graduate education, especiallythose issues raised in the Baker Report.While the recommendations made by theBaker Commission are well-intentioned, itis essential that graduate students examinehow these recommendations might affecttheir lives. Concrete alternatives can thenbe proposed, if these should be deemed nec¬essary. Moreover, students, in conjunctionwith faculty and administrators, need to begiven substantial input into the decision¬making process concerning how andwhether the Baker Report will be imple¬mented.ft—T ne Chicago Maroon—Friday, November 12, 1982It is not sufficient for students to simplyallow the departments, the Divisions, andthe administration to decide how best to im¬prove graduate education. The intention ofSAGE is to give students a voice in decisionsthat deal with important academic and so¬cial issues, so that the already high qualityof UC education can be improved still fur¬ther.The first meeting of SAGE will be held onTuesday, November 16 at noon in SocialSciences 122. We urge all graduate students,especially those in the humanities and socialsciences, to attend. Please make a point oftelling your friends, especially if they arecurrently unregistered.Julia RathGraduate studentin SociologyConstant debateTo the editor:Without subjecting the Maroon to a con¬stant debate, I would like to clarify the factsvs. theory discussion that Omar Dahbour re¬ferred to in his last letter. It is indeed atheory that mergers and acquisitions are“good” for the country. It is a fact thatlarger companies and conglomerates paytheir poor, oppressed, “sped-up” worker fargreater salaries. It is a fact that acquisitionsoften keep companies from bankruptcy, andso instead of all the employees losing theirjobs, only a few do. It is a provable, quanti¬tative fact that larger companies and con¬glomerates have greater productivity. Howone explains this is where the realm oftheory begins.The worst misconception is that themoney used to buy property is wasted.Where does that money go, pray tell? Do theowners or shareholders throw the moneyinto a wastebasket, or use it to stuff theirmattresses? Certainly not. The money isreinvested, or used to buy consumer goods.Either way, the economy loses nothing, andgains a more productive and efficient divi¬sion. The reason that productive investmentis a concern is that many politicians andpeople like Mr. Dahbour cannot master therather simple subtleties of economics. Ifthose politicians were truly concerned aboutthe economy, they would show some politi¬cal courage and balance the budget. Noeconomist, Keynesian or not, would espousethe size and constancy of our budget defi¬cits. Low interest rates caused by a bal¬anced budget, not government policies, willcause both small and large businesses to beable to hire more people.I admit that I was wrong to say that Mr.Dahbour dismisses the political debate inthis country. I should have said that he waswrong to believe that political debate doesnot exist in this country. Has it ever oc¬curred to you, sir, that issues are debated,and other alternatives rejected? The Liber¬tarian and Socialist parties exist in this country, and on this campus, but their philo¬sophies are rejected by the great majorityof Americans. And if one suspects that ourpolitical choices are solely responsible forour economic problems, he should look toMexico and Poland as examples of socialistalternatives with “booming” economies.It is perhaps true that we should not be¬lieve what our politicians and corporatepresidents tell us. But, for God’s sake, don’tbelieve what you read in the Spark, either,or anyone who makes proclamations on asubject that he doesn’t understand. So Mr.Dahbour’s endorsement of the Civil War, atleast, is more credible than mine. Other¬wise, I’m not so sure.Steven KingStudent in the GraduateSchool of BusinessNo smokingTo the editor:After more than two years collecting dataon the University of Chicago campus, thereis evidence to support yet anotherdeliterious effect of cigarette smoking. Itseems to destroy a smoker’s ability to read.This is most clearly seen in lounges andlunch rooms around campus where smokerspuff away beneath “No Smoking” signs inclearly marked non-smoking areas. At leastthat is my best guess about what is happen¬ing — that smoking has somehow damagedtheir visual system or central nervoussystem making it impossible for them toconnect the sight of a “No Smoking” signwith the appropriate behavior. I have re¬jected several alternate explanations forthis, the most likely one. Consider someother possibilities: Smokers are rude,crude, nasty individuals who like to inflictpain on others. They are maladjustedbehaviorally. They never learned how toread to begin with (obviously wrong; theytook SAT’s). They don’t realize how verypainful it is, and even dangerous, to haveasthma attacks or respiratory problems.They are confused about the logic or mean¬ing of the statement “No Smoking”. They,in the tradition of Leopold and Loeb, don’tthink they should be bound by social injunc¬tions. I leave it to you to judge whether one of these other explanations or one of yourown is more likely.Support is also given to my hypothesis bythe response smokers give when one pointsout to them that they are smoking in a non¬smoking area. They tend to gaze vacantly atthe nearest walls struggling to focus on theprohibition you point out, and, failing toperceive what you do, seem to accept tnat umust be there, give a shrug of resignationand mutter. They then frequently put out thecigarette or leave.Additionally, there may be some evidencethat cigarette smoking produces moodchanges or anti-social behavior. Somesmokers become unpleasant when the situa¬tion is pointed out to them and exhibitbehavior not unlike a rabid dog. But this on¬ly occurs in a few cases, often in interactionwith Regenstein A level.Now this process of pointing out the pro¬blem may be extremely annoying and ter¬ribly tedious to you non-smokers. But I urgeyou to persevere. I know it’s hard to believethat smokers think you sit in a non-smokingarea so you can have the pleasure ofbreathing smoke or of having to ask them tostop. It just doesn’t make sense to me either.But smokers may yet re-learn to read “NoSmoking” and come to show they recognizewhen they are in a non-smoking area and de¬sist.Karin WetmoreGraduate student,History of SciencePolitical rhetoric?To the editor:Mr. Powell in his viewpoint on nucleararms (Fri. Nov. 5) wished to discuss the“moral political questions.” Curiously, Ifound little in his article that was concernedwith morals. It seemed to be an attempt atpolitical rhetoric.He seems to miss the implications of cur¬rent events in America. He feels thatnuclear fear is being “peddled.” I disagree.Americans are informing themselves aboutan unusually gruesome event. They are say¬ing ‘No, we don’t want that fate,’ and aresuggesting a solution. There is more morali¬ty exhibited there than in Mr. Powell’spiece.Mr. Powell also asked for a “maturepatriotism”. Americans have recently in acalm and legal manner expressed their in¬terests. As the topic, nuclear destruction, in¬cludes the welfare of all, I think theAmerican public has demonstrated un-challengable maturity. At the same time,there is a great deal of ■ patriotism inAmericans asking for our leaders to do justthat, lead. It is not an invitation forAmerica’s ruin, nor (and here I felt Mr.Powell sank below himself) trust in Brezh¬nev.Mr. Powell seems to represent a way ofthinking exhibited by the Reagan Ad¬ministration that has, irrespective of cur¬rent proposals, suggested “limited nuclearwar” and a continuing desire for more and“better” technology. I think that neither ismature or moral. One has to wonder if thesesuggestions ever account for people in com¬puter printouts and ledger sheets.And as for the current proposals, they arelike the snow in Chicago.

GriffinScott Powell’s “viewpoint” article “The US in Search ofPeace in the Nuclear Ag» illustrates the need for debatessuch as the November 11 dialogue on the nuclear freeze pro¬posal. Myths such as Mr Powell advances can best be dis¬posed of in open forums where both sides of the debate overnuclear arms policy are well represented.In the course of his argument, Mr. Powell repeats severalmisleading arguments that have been used to justify theUnited States’ dangerous role as the leader of the nucleararms race, including: 1) the claim that the United States isinferior because of the Soviet lead in megatonnage; 2) thatthe United States deferred the modernizaton of its nuclearforces during the period of detente; and 3) that the nuclearfreeze proposal would spoil the negotiating climate by de¬stroying Soviet incentive and spoil the chances for the Rea¬gan Administration’s far-reaching START and “zero op-Jerome Weisner giving keynote speech at nuclearfreeze conference Thursday.tion” proposals.The first myth is disposed of by simple appeal to history.The United States made a conscious decision in the early1960s to forgo high megatonnage in favor of precision-guid¬ed missile technology. From the military standpoint, thisdecision made sense: smaller, more accurate weapons aresuperior to large, imprecise missiles because they aremore effective against military targets and cause less “col¬lateral damage” to adjacent civilian populations. Thus, while the Soviets do lead the United States in megatonnage,this is not an instance of military superiority; in fact, thereis no suggestion even by the strongest proponent of nuclearweapons that the United States should try to even the scorein megatonnage. As new, improved guidance technology isimplemented, the trend will continue in the direction ofsmaller yield warheads. For example, when the UnitedStates has perfected the maneuverable re-entry vehicle, orMARV system, it will be able to reduce the yield of MX andTrident warheads by two-thirds without reducing the weap¬on’s ability to destroy a hardened silo.Nor has the Pentagon “deferred the modernization of itsnuclear forces” as Mr. Powell would have us believe. Infact, between 1970 and 1979, the United States added 5,550strategic warheads to its arsenal, mainly through MIRVing“....a freeze would have a benefi¬cial effect on the negotiating at¬mosphere.”its land- and submarine-based missile force. The US hasalways led the Russians in MIRV technology (which is thereason why it refused to agree to limits on MIRVs in SALTI, leading to the supposed “window of vulnerability”that weheard so much about in 1980). In addition to MIRVs and im¬proved guidance of ballistic missiles, the United States de¬veloped the cruise missile, a zero-error pilotless aircraftthat can be launched from the ground, bombers, or subma¬rines; it is now testing the first MARV or “terminal guid¬ance” missle, the Pershing II, scheduled for deployment inEurope beginning next year; and it has produced severalTrident submarines, with advanced capabilities and coun¬termeasures designed to make it more survivable and ableto cruise in much larger areas of the ocean than the currentmissle-carrying submarines.The third myth, that the nuclear freeze proposal threa¬tens viable options that have been put forth, assumes thatthe Reagan Administration’s START and “zero option”proposals are indeed viable. The fact is that START is heav¬ily biased in favor of the United States, since it calls forequal reductions in very unequal forces: the Soviets main¬tain 70 percent of their strategic arsenal on land-basedICBMs, while the United States keeps only 25 percent of itswarheads on ICBMs and over 50 percent on presently invul¬nerable submarines. As for the “zero option,” the proposalinvolves no zeroing of the US intermediate-range nuclearforces, and would leave NATO with many more weapons inthe European theater than the Warsaw Pact. While callingfor the removal of the Soviet SS-20’s in return for an Ameri¬can agreement not to deploy the cruise missiles and Persh¬ing II’s, the “zero option” makes no mention of the 64 war¬heads on British submarines, the 98 French land- andsea-based warheads, or the 640 US Poseidon warheads. Is itsurprising that neither the START negotiations nor the in¬termediate-range missile talks have made any discernibleprogress?There is ample reason to believe that a freeze would havea beneficial effect on the negotiating atmosphere. An ex¬pressed willingness on the part of the United States to agreeto a bilateral, verifiable freeze on nuclear weapons would, Viewpointto PowellRichard Daley, Jr. at nuclear freeze conference thisweek.according to Paul Warnke, William Colby, W. Averell Har-riman and Clark Clifford, provide “a necessary precondi¬tion for reductions and ... a much more stable basis thanthe present arms race for pursuing what are at best com¬plex and difficult nuclear reduction proposals. . .” In addi¬tion, these four former high government officials assertthat a freeze offer by the United States would be quicklyagreed to by the Soviet Union.From the very beginning of the nuclear arms race, therehave been attempts to argue that the United States was be¬hind in nuclear weapons and therefore needed to redoubleits efforts to catch up. Each time — with the bomber gap,the missile gap and the ABM gap — the Soviets were latershown to have been behind all along. Now we hear about the“civil defense gap” and the “w indow of vulnerability.” It isimportant that Americans wake up to these hoaxes beforethey are used to implement the next, very dangerous, roundin the struggle foi nonexistent nuclear superiority.(Michael Griffin is a gradute student of mathematics at theiniversity of Chicago, currently on leave-of-absence tostudy and work in the arms control movement.

The question isdoes Reagan have the muscle to shovel it, oris it going to just pile up and then melt in thespring like past seasons. Might I suggestMr. Reagan has a lot of neiphhorlv helo todo that shoveling, if only he’ll listen.Richard VogtsGraduate student,Division of Social SciencesNuclear jingoism?To the editor:Having read Mr. Scott Powell’s piece inthe November 5th issue of the Maroon, “TheU.S. in Search of Peace in th Nuclear Age,”1 am now convinced that we have at the Uni¬versity of Chicago a student who belongsamong the ranks of President Reagan’s ad¬visers on strategic arms. He would get alongwell with Colin Gray, a Reagan adviser, whohas suggested that we deploy ICMBs intrailer trucks moving along our nation’shighways. Similarly, he would most likelyhave much in common with Dr. EdwardTeller, another Reagan adviser, who pro¬posed the deployment of nuclear weaponryin space. He might even send in his Maroonarticle along with his application.In a piece meant to illustrate the short¬comings of the nuclear freeze movement, and to caution those who attend this week’sarms control and disarmament conference,Powell suggests that a freeze would under¬mine American deterrence capability. De¬terrence is the essential issue, and if one in¬tends to argue against a freeze, one must,among other things, demonstrate that deter¬rence is threatened. Yet Mr. Powell devotesa mere 15 lines, eight percent of his article,to a very weak defense of his premise. Manyknowledgeable people within and withoutthe Defense Department w'ould take issuewith Powell’s assertion that “there has beena major shift in the balance of worldpower.” This must be proven by rigorousanalysis and argument, not by the repetitionof slogans. One cannot demonstrate Soviet‘’superiority” by simplistic references tonuclear “megatonnage” or comparable per¬centages of GNP spent on defense. Havingfailed to demonstrate American weakness,Powell canot claim that it is to the advan¬tage of the Soviets to “freeze at currentlevels of superiority.” Reasonable men willargue, and “superiority” as Mr. Powellquite right observes, is a matter of percep¬tion. By joining the rush (o acclaimingAmerican weakness and vulnerability, anacclamation which is a curious hallmark ofthe Reagan Administration, Powell makesAmerican “weakness” a self-fulfillingprophecy. Unlike Mr. Powell, proponents ofthe freeze have chosen to send another mes¬ sage to our friends and adversaries alike—that we are indeed capable of defending our¬selves.Mr. Powell could have devoted more timeto proving his central premise, but he ismore interested in smearing the freezemovement than in dealing with essentialissues. He warns that the “peddling of nu¬clear fear has gone far enough.” The No¬vember disarmament forum should not beused “to whip up the fear of nuclear holo¬caust.” (God forbid!) But a good part of theforum is devoted to academic and scholarly-presentations on issues such as “militaryspending,” “strategy and the balance ofpower,” and a debate on a “no first strikepolicy.” It is to these kinds of issues that Mr. Powell should have, in a rigorous manner,devoted his article. Instead he engages inthe very kind of “jingoism” he warnsagainst by implying that Americans aresomehow unpatriotic because they supporta policy that is rejected by President Rea¬gan and “endorsed” by Mr. Brezhnev.(“Would you rather trust Mr. Brezhnev?”he writes.) There is, in none of this, the“maturity,” “morality” or “sobriety” thatPowell so thirsts after. Perhaps then heshould join Messrs. Gray and Teller at theWhite House? The peddling of nuclear com¬placency has gone far enough.Daniel BrumbergGraduate student. Departmentof Political ScienceLUTHERAN CAMPUS MINISTRYAugustono Lutheran Church5500 S.

November 12, 1982GREY CITY JOURNAL12 November 1982 • 15th Yearby Maddy Paxman(A persona! reaction to an anti-pornographyslide-show, produced by Women AgainstSexist Violence, which will be shown oncampus later this quarter.)A muscular, fully dressed man towersabove the spread legs of a naked woman,into whom he is drilling a jack hammer —the caption reads “A sure-fire cure for fri¬gidity?”. A bruised and battered woman,bound painfully with ropes, proclaims "I'mblack and blue from the Rolling Stones and llove it!". Another battered woman, a realone this time, from a documentary articleabout the increase of wife-battering. As theslides flash one by one onto the screen, theimages become progressively more difficultto watch — women are strapped to ladders,beaten by Nazi-figures, tortured and raped,fed through meat-mincers, and shown mul-tilating themselves hideously. These are fa¬celess women, mere bodies, women withpaper bags over their heads (as in the oldjoke "They're all the same like that...").There are images from the fast-growing in¬dustry of child-pornography — the picturesstate that the models are over 18, but the im¬plications are that sex with young childrenis perfectly O.K. Some of the images arefrom 'snuff' porn, "made in South Americawhere life is cheap” — perhaps the latestdrive to push back the limits of acceptabili¬ty, in 'snuf' pornography the women in¬volved are actually beaten to death in theproduction.The producers of the slideshow aim toshow a direct connection between porno¬graphy and the violent physical abuse ofwomen. By 'pornography,' they do not onlymean the industry which goes by that name,but other areas, such as advertising, whichuse related images to sell products. (If any¬thing, the 'pornographic' element in thesefields is more insidious, since we are ex¬posed to it without choice.) Thus, although,many of the slides were drawn from hard¬core 'gentlemen's' magazines, such as thenow-defunct Huslter, or the (arguably)softer Playboy, there were many examplesfrom record-packaging, fashion photo¬graphy and other media divisions — andsometimes it was hard to tell which waswhich. All of these pictures had in commonthat they presented women as willing vic¬tims of physical abuse and degradation, in¬deed desirous of this kind of treatment forsexual satisfaction, sometimes to the extentthat they inflict it on themselves (a handydevice for erasing the 'agressor' from thescene).The feminist anti-pornographers feelstrongly that the perpetration of this 'dan¬gerous myth' has the effect of normalizingviolence against women. From a WomenAgainst Violence Against Women(WAV AW) pamphlet: "Why do rapistsrape? Many rapists do hate women. Butothers are confused. They know that rape isillegal, and yet what they see and hear allaround them is that you can get away withviolent behaviour to women, and thatwomen expect and want such behavior." Inthe face of rising rape and violence statis¬tics (according to WAV AW, one out of everythree women can expect to be raped in herlifetime, and an estimated 20 30 millionwomen have been battered) it certainlyseems irresponsible to depict a gleeful car¬toon-style gang-bang on the cover of analbum that will be bought by a large numberof teenagers, or a husband hitting his wife inthe face in a Vogue fashion section. AsWAV AW say "We cannot allow this kind ofbehaviour to be trivialized, glorified, sensa¬tionalized or romanticized in the massmedia.” Media images of this kind also havean undoubted effect on women's self-confi¬dence — we are made to feel in a way re¬sponsible for the attacks against us, andthus helpless in defending ourselves.Sections of the women's movement havechosen direct action tactics to combat theproblem — for example, picketting porn-shops and movies, and petitioning recordcompanies. But there have also been, bothwithin and without the movement, seriousobjections raised to the anti-porn cam¬ paigns. The 'First Amendment' argumentcomes up again and again, and some cite thedanger of siding too closely with the puritan¬ical and moralizing forces which have madethemselves responsible for women's oppres¬sion. There are the lesbian-feminists in¬volved in sado-masochism, who feel thattheir individual sexual choice is beingthreatened by a faction of the very move¬ment which allowed them the freedom tomake that choice. The campaigns havecaused quite serious divisions within thewomen's movement, while at the same timepornography has never had a more flourish¬ing market. And it also seems that, as oursensibilities are being dulled by constant ex¬posure to exploitative images, the produc¬ers of pornography are stooping to more out¬rageous levels of depravity (as in 'snuff')and more pornographic images are being le¬gitimized on a public level.But perhaps the biggest challenge to theanti-porn movement has been that it seeksto suppress any and all sexual images, andthus contributes to the problem rather thanworking towards a more equitable portray¬al. The campaigners deny this emphat¬ically, saying that they want to change onlya certain kind of image: that of the maso¬chistic woman who seeks out violence forher pleasure — which unfortunately is one ofthe most prevalent images of pornography.WAV AW again: "People ask us whether weobject to the portrayal of adult sexuality, toall pornography. We don't. This material,whether you call it pornography or anyother word, is not about sexuality. It is aboutabusive, demeaning treatment of women.It's about categorizing half the world as vic¬tims and the other half as criminals. And wedon't accept that as a definition of normalhuman sexuality."But who is to decide where the fine line isbetween that kind of pornography and afairer, some say more representative, 'ero¬tica.' There are no universal, unchanging criteria for discriminating between accept¬able and unacceptable sexual images. Formany people, pornography is a denial oferoticism, since it emphasizes sensationwithout feeling. But are we then to decreethat all representations of sexuality must bebound by a pre requisite of emotionality?The problem about pornography is thatneither it, nor its relationship to violenceagainst women, can be treated as an isolat¬ed issue. Pornography both feeds upon andnourishes our already-socialized sexual ste¬reotypes. It is a product of a whole system ofimbalance in our society, both on sexual andsocial levels, and could not exist if it werenot constantly being re inforced by this im¬balance. Defenders of pornography say thatit is a natural outlet for our sexuality; butthere is nothing 'natural' about the imagesthat confront us in pornography — womenare not born to be victims, and the assump¬tion that men have to be taught to fight their'natural' inclination to rape is not only dan¬gerous, but false.At the same time, there is evidence thatthe direct 'feedback' from pornographyserves to strengthen and normalize ourpresent sexual definitions. I consider thesedefinitions to be in need of revision, and Ithink we should be aware of the extent towhich we are influenced not to challenge theway we look at each other and at ourselvesby the magnification and distortion of oursexual stereotypes in pornography and itsassociates. The advertising industry usessimilar images which reinforce the stereo¬types and maintain an environment that isdangerous to one half of the population. Ithas been suggested that advertising oftenpromises what pornography delivers — bothare equally exploitative, and may contri¬bute to the physical abuse of women byseeming to condone, if not actively encour¬age, this form of behavior. So if direct at¬tacks on the porn industry seem to be throw¬ing a drop of water on a burning house, I see the validity of raising awareness, and thusresponsible attitudes, in both the purveyorsof pornographic stimuli (record companies,advertising agents, and the producers ofglossy art-pornography 'coffee-table'books) and in ourselves.Perhaps, then, the most important aim ofthe anti-pornography movement should beto help us to explore and redefine our sexualunderstanding. Slideshows such as the one lsaw should not just incite anger and the ap¬portionment of blame, but also trigger a dif¬ferent set of thought processes. The issue isnot simply that, as women, we are not incharge of the images of us presented in themedia — as people, we see our sexuality, in¬cluding the world of our fantasies, both ex¬aggerated and distorted by so-called 'repro¬duction' in pornography. It is hard for awoman to admit to herself that some pornography which degrades her own sex can be aturn-on, or that she does fantasize about sit¬uations of vulnerability such as rape. Butthere is a world of difference between fan¬tasy and reality; a fantasy is always underone's control, however threatening the situation, but pornography draws on these fantasies and carries them beyond one's indi¬vidual control. In concretising fantasies,pornography renders the reality more ac¬ceptable.Why do we fantasize in this way, and is it anecessary part of controlling our relationswith others? What do we want from our sex¬uality — are we so tied to our previous so¬cialization that sometimes we fail to seewhat it is that we actually seek in sexualcontacts with others? If we can, by means ofdiscussion and awareness of pornographyas a fact of life at the moment, focus^onthese questions more closely, then perhapswe may learn to exert more control over theway in which our sexuality is presented inthe media, and to lessen the hold over ourminds that the pornographic media has forso long been free to exploit.PORNOGRAPHY:connoLUNG seximutyPowers of Horror5309 S.

At the Oriental Institute, 1L55 E55th st.Industrial Icons: Within the stark whitewalls of Midway Studio Gallery,Nancy Metz White's sculpture seemsvery much at home. Just as the spacesuggests both a utility room and anart-exhibiting area, White's pipe andduct sculpture is at once industrialstuff and artistic construct. Some areself sufficient systems — closed loopswhich perch in a corner or on the floorand seem wholly contained. Othersconnect with floor or walls, insistingthat they reach beyond and contain aflow within. Still others balance eerily— half supported, unconnected — revealing their hollowness and lookingfutile and deformed, as though the softaccordion duct were a tumor whichgrew cancerously out of the hardmetal pipe.The differing materials of thevarious pipes and ducts, their arrangement and positioning create thoughtprovoking structures. After the initialshock of entering a room full of construction materials, one can graduallyget to know each sculpture and appreciate the messages of each by walkingaround and isolating each in its ownspace. After that the collective workstake on a new meaning. They seem anexpression of a woman's energy bornof entrapment between the harsh steeland the contrasting but-connectedsupple softness of life in the IndustrialAge. The ducts explode in curvaceousliberation, but are inevitably lodged inand restrained by the sturdy structureof the pipes. Yet off in one corner is aduct without pipes, looped in on itselfand standing firmly; proclaiming itself a "looking glass"; challenging theassumption that the freedom of a maleable creature must be rooted solidlyin a secure, hard foundation and asserting that it is in fact only a reflection of those who look at it.Industrial Icons will be on exhibit atMidway Studio Gallery through Nov19. The gallery is open Mondaythrough Friday, 9 to 5.— SPMagdalena Abakanowicz: One of Poland's most important artists and aninternationally acclaimed sculptor.Abakanowiez herself has executed twoinstallations of her monumental threedimensional fiber sculpture for thepremier showing of the first majortraveling retrospective of her work.Her earliest pieces, Abakans, namedby critics after the artist, are coarselywoven 16 foot hanging constructions,dating from the mid 1960's to the early1970's, and will be presented in thefourth floor Exhibition Hall at TheCultural Center (at the Chicago PublicLibrary at Michigan and Randolph). Aseries of fiber sculpture based on thekagdalena Abakanowicz, Wheel and Rope, 1973; Embryology, 1978-80unfortunately this particular printdge^mot contain one of the most crucfal segments of Vivre Sa Vie; thepoint near the film's end when we canhear Godard from behind the camera,contributing to the actors' conversetion. What makes this exclusion so extraordinary — or at least worth mentioning — is that it prevents the viewer(of this print) from fully comprehending Godard's early sociological perspective that allied the exploitation offilm directors with a diffuse notion ofprostitution throughout society. Byconsciously breaking the illusion ofwatching a film, Godard was attempting both to identify himself with thepicture's prostitute heroin and to acknowledge his role as exploiter. WhileVivre Sa Vie poetically depicts thetragic plight of a young woman(played by Anna Karina) who becomes a prostitute, it also begs theviewer to question conventional notions of film poesy and reality. Thus,there is a constant shifting throughoutthe film of camera perspective and theways in which information is signified.In this respect, the film also works tosnythesize and demonstrate the compatability of two apparently antithetical film technique theories: the notionof deep focus cinema with its emphasison the viewer's freedom to analyze areespoused by Andre Bazin, and the notion of montage cinema with its em¬phasis on structuring individualimages and creating a dialecticthrough juxtaposing images. Vivre SaVie, like most of Godard's film before1966, remains a uniquely entertainingfilm, for while it harbors an obviouslove for the medium, it also challengers the viewer intellectually.

The film focuses on the individual singers and their reminiscences oftheir time with The Weavers.

As Mary said,"The Weavers were our mentors." Wehighly recommend this film; it mustbe seen if only for Peter, Paul 8.Mary's rendition of Lee Hay's andPete Seeger^ 'The Hammer Song'.The film would have been improved bythe inclusion of more of the reunionconcert to cure its brevity.

L2-44—FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1982-THE GREY CITY JOURNALSTUDIO THEATERby Stephen DiamondStudio Theatre (formally Court StudioTheatre) will be presenting their only playof the quarter this Friday, Saturday andSunday at the 3rd floor Reynold's ClubTheatre. The play is Home Free! written byLansford Wilson and directed by JohnShamus. It stars Chris Sultan and Lisa Pe¬terson. Lansford Wilson started writingplays in the 60's with a absurdist's tone buthas slowly progressed into one of the mostbankable and realistic playwrights around.In 1978, he wrote Talley's Folley and won thePulitzer Prize. Home Free! is definitely oneof his more absurd works.The play is about two characters who areafraid to live in the "real world" and anyouting into the "real world" becomes an ad¬venture. The characters decide to live insidean invented world — a world made up oftoys, invisible people and other child like di¬versions. The set is made to look like a largechildren's room, furnished with a bed with alarge stuffed animal, a six foot ferris wheel,and a rocket-ship mural. The charactershave chosen not to grow up even though theyare married and about to have a child oftheir own. Slowly the audience learns thatthe characters have more to fear from theirmade up world than the "real world." Theirinvented people, objects and stories begin tocontrol them and eventually cause the coup¬le's demise.Directed by John Shamus, the play is in¬terpreted as an unrealistic piece. The char¬acters' make-believe world seems so out ofstep with reality that it could never comefrom our world unless the chracters werecrazy. The characters become pathetic, crying adults who are desperately trying to actlike children — rather than becoming realchildren. The actors never stop fidgeting ormoving so that by the end of the play, thesituation is one of complete chaos. The char¬acters are so involved in this frenzy thatthey do not take the time necessary to ex¬plore and develop their personalities andmotives. Without this development they be¬come one dimensional and similar. The message of the play seems to be thatthis abnormal couple is too immature andafraid to explore the "real world". This in¬terpretation I find very unbelievable both interms of the play's reality and the "realworld." If John Shamus slowed down thepace he might have realized that these char¬acters are really just sane and normal peo¬ple. If he had realized, furthermore, thatpeople can invent their own worlds and be¬come so involved in them that they cannotrelate to the "real world," then the playwould have been a success. The play wouldhave become a parable for those who are tooscared to explore and take chances in the"real world," whether this paranoia causesthem to become children or to spend alltheir time in the Regenstein Library study¬ing rather than associating with their fellowstudents. As it is now, the play loses the par¬able and the audience just watches the char¬acters feebly attempt to be children.Within the interpretation chosen, the twoactors do especially well. Chris Sultan(playing Lawrence Brown) jumps up anddown wildly trying desperately to get his in¬visible friends and the audience involvedwith the play. His intensity slowly increasesuntil the very end of the play when his worldfinally falls apart. Lisa Peterson (playingJoanna Brown) does an excellent job as theone who tries to interact artificially with so¬ciety. These contacts are so superficial thatthey do little but reinforce her paranoia andneed for a make believe world.So, while the actors and directors try hardto wrestle with this play, in the end they fail.The world that the characters have inventedseems so contrived that only a crazy personcould think it up, rather than just a normalperson who is too frightened to interact withsociety. The problem with the interpretationof the play does not make its viewing worth¬less; those interested should watch this playso that they too can form their opinions. Sup¬posedly Lansford Wilson had a different in¬terpretation than both myself and JohnShamus. He said that the play was an attackon heterosexual relationships. To aid us inour search of what the meaning of the playis, John Shamus and the actors discuss theirinterpretaton with members of the audienceafterwards. v j Ipted*-Lately we’ve been confused,but the mar|ii the water ^died In the water;and the day grows clear,for a while, at least.The ice is thicker there,and we suppose the currentfaster, colder, darker,and no helicopters come.From the bridge at 14th Street,though,ice still runs thin on the Potomac,while day clears toward evening,over the unknown man in the water.We only know the worldby radio, and half-seen headlines.But we will rememberthe man in the water.—Jeremy Downesili R/^RTV TONITETHE GREV CITY JOURNAL-FR IDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1982-5VAaron Lipstadt is The University ofChicago's latest success in Hollywood'scompetitive film industry. With the im¬minent release of Android in the UnitedStates (probably with a different title),a film which Variety said was destinedfor cult status, Lipstadt joins PhillipKaufman and Jonathan Kaplan in whatis beginning to be a U of C/DOC Filmsfaction in LA. Lipstadt graduated fromthe college in 1974, received his MAfrom Northwestern, and spent a yeardoing doctoral work before moving toEngland to study film with Peter Wol-len at Essex University. While workingon the Edinborough Film Festival'ssecond Roger Corman series, Lipstadtdecided to turn from his theoretical andlinguistic work, and instead focus onthe development of Corman's producti¬on company, New World Films. Cor¬man is probably the most famous of thefilmmaker-producers working in thefield of exploitation films, and afterLipstadt had done more than a year anda half of research on Corman, NewWorld offered Lipstadt a position asCorman's assistant in 1979. Lipstadtwas production manager on three NewWorld pictures between 1980 and 1981.He was production manager on Galaxyof Terror, he was production managerand first art director on Saturday the14th, and he produced Slumber PartyMassacre. He was production managerand second unit director on ForbiddenWorld, and was associate producer forspecial effects on Escape from NewYork. After that, Lipstadt started workon Android, which tells the story ofMax, an all-but-human android who isstranded with his inventor (played byKlaus Kinski) on a space station some¬where at the end of the universe. Max,who spends most of his time research¬ing the 20th century by watching oldmovies, soon faces some hard moralchoices when the station gets some visi¬tors, who are actually escaped politicalterrorists from Earth. Aaron Lipstadttalked with us at Jimmy's about Cor¬man, Android, politics, genre theory,and other aspects of his film experi¬ence.Jeffrey Makos: Your disertation was onthe ideology of exploitation films,right?Aaron Lipstadt: The title was "Politicsand Exploitation." It was basically astudy of New World Pictures in terms ofthe economics of the company, generaleconomics, and what the general mar¬ket place was like in the film industryfrom the time New World started until1970. I looked at changing patterns andrelated the changes in the film industry— and there were a lot of changes inthose years — to the kind of picturesthey made. What I was trying to do wasposit a link between commercial restraints and political restraints. NewWorld is very good to focus on, becausefor one thing the pictures are made ascommodities — there is no pretense inthe early years about making signifi¬cant social statements or significant ar¬tistic statements — they make picturesto make money. I also dealt with the cooptation, of exploitation genres and sit¬uations, into television and major stu¬dio pictures, and how exploitationcompanies responded to that. Anotherthing that makes New World Picturesinteresting is Roger Corman's own per¬sonality, his politics. It is very rare tofind a film company which is so muchthe reflection of one person's atti¬tudes.Richard Martin: Didn't Corman makea film in the Sixties with some overt so¬cial messages? I think it was about rac¬ism in the South.. .AL: Yes, it was The Intruder. It was hisbig flop. He never addressed socialissues after that. It was '62; he justwent on and kept directing. It's funny,because a lot of the social element orvalue of his pictures is created in retrospect. Although Corman does have certain liberal sensibilities, if you talk topeople who were making pictures withhim in the early Seventies, they wouldsay that Roger wasn't interested at allin any social or political attitude. Theywould say that he was making exploitation movies, and that for some reason he has kind of a liberal slant.RM: This brings up the question abouthow much one should account for an in¬dividual personality in films, as was thecase with your investigation of NewWorld Pictures and Roger Corman.Where does one draw the line between apersonality and the text? It seems tome that there should be that distinction,which Peter Wollen first made, be¬tween John Ford the artist and "JohnFord", the name which appears underdirected by in Hollywood films.AL: Roger's attitude is that the produc¬er is the auteur in his pictures. In a lotof ways this is valid, because almost allof the scripts that are produced at NewWorld are initiated by an idea ofRoger's, whether it's a three sentenceidea or a one sentence idea. He'll saythat he wants to do a picture about soand so, and then it will be developedand written under the guidance of himand the story editor.JM: Was that true of Android as well?AL: No, it was an exception. Androidwent through several drafts before heeven read the script. The first time hesaid he didn't understand it, and thelast time he read it he thought it was adialogue picture and he wanted to knowwhat it was about. Basically, like a lotof producers, Roger has this problem inthat he will make a deal rather than amovie. He'll get a picture for so littlemoney that he can't lose. I mean he lit¬erally can't lose. And this was kind ofthat situation with Android: he put up aquarter of a million in cash and he got apicture. And between theatrical, andtelevision, and cable, and non-theatri¬cal, and every other market he's. . .RM: He's definitely going to make thatmoney back.AL: For sure.JM: One of the things I found most in¬teresting about Android was that theMax character was a video nut, an ado¬lescent, a schlemiel, an android versionof the archtypal Roger Corman herofound in Little Shop of Horrors. At whatpoint do we say that this is part of theCorman influence or that this is Lip¬stadt talking about Corman?AL: First of all, just to make a moviefor the budget that Roger makes pic¬tures for, you've got to do — you'reforced to do — certain things stylistically. Shooting with such a short schedule,you know that the picture is going to bemade in the cutting room to some ex¬tent. Corman generally gets very in¬volved in the cutting of pictures be¬cause he knows from the first daywhether the guy can direct or not, heknows that he can always go out, if hehas to, and shoot another three daysand get the scenes if the picture isn'tworking, and he can always go and cutit. So Corman's pretty much willing tolet the director do what he wants whileshooting. And what you end up gettingis a cutting style, an editing style. It'salways interesting to watch a NewWorld picture from its first assembly toits release, because they all becomeCorman pictures to some extent. An¬droid is somewhat of an exception. Ithas a lot of one shot scenes and thereare some longer shots, but mostly it's aNew World picture — partly becauseI've learned from Corman how to makepictures, and partly because it's a re¬quirement. You can't do four-minutemasterpieces of moving-camera work,it's unrealistic to do that kind of thingbecause if it doesn't work your wholescene is fucked up and your wholeschedule is fucked up. Another thing isthat as much as we tried not to do ascript that Corman would go for, andmake the script work first and satisfyCorman later, I do think that you get akind of attitude in the back of your mindabout what Corman will go for. And oneof his classic characters that he's veryfond of is the dumb schmuck who can'tget laid. I think that's as close to an au¬tobiographical image as New Worldgets to, but it's there so often that youhave to notice it. But the other thing isthat if you look at New World Pictures,and you go from the nurse pictures, thesummer school teachers and studentteachers pictures — which are prettyovertly political — to the mid seventies when they start doing revenge pictures— which is certainly traditionally veryright wing genre — then you find, whichstill happens today, a lot of liberal orleft wing directors stuck in right winggenres. And it's very interesting to seehow they handle it. But those directorsaren't working anymore, anyway.When I first got interested in NewWorld around 1975, White Line Fever,Vigilante Force, and Fighting Madcame out — three pictures which weremade by directors who started outworking for Corman, all of wich wereviolent revenge pictures. It was very in¬teresting to see how the films work outthat contradiction. To look back and seewhat these guys have done and wherethey've come from, and to find out thatthey're all coming out of New World isvery interesting.RM: Perhaps I'm reading too muchinto your film, but it seems as if in An¬droid you were self-conscious about theCorman controls or restrictions.AL: To some extent. I think that moviesare about movies more than they'reabout life, and I think that perspectivecomes through in Android. I think thatone of the surprises about the way thatAndroid turned out was that it's not apicture which has an attitude about it¬self as a picture as much as I thought it doland I think what th|make the scenesters work, and havjpoint of view of tfthrough in the staglthe kind of filmmal1inspired by a kindtowards what heed by John Ford,guy doesn't wantdirecting, he say«script."

But wtbasically, art is sty|the point. I have nosuchlTakeover of statloiwould, and that it's pretty sincere aboutthe characters. If you take a look atsome films of Joe Dante, for examplewho is another New World director, hispictures are very overtly directed, theyhave a lot of in jokes, and it's very easyto see that there's an attitude about thecharacters and about the story. I thinkAndroid is a little more sincere aboutthe characters and a little less detachedfrom what's going on. A lot of the jokesand gags are contained within the diagesis — if I may.JM: Two things which I noticed fromwatching your film: first, a lot of peoplewere surprised that it was as warm apicture as it was, and not somethinglike Kill, Android, Kill. Second: in thescene where Max watches the Doctortalk to Maggie, as he watches FritzLang's Metropolis, and as he listens toJames Brown's "It's a Man's World" —basically as Max senses his lonelinessand his need for some relationship witha woman — we get a scene which con¬tains all the thematic elements of thefilm in a tight combination. It seemed aplace where you could pause and pullthings together before going back to theaction.AL: Well, yes, that's true to some ex¬tent. I think that when you have a char¬acter who relates a lot to images theway Max does, then you're automati¬cally implying a kind of attitudetowards what he's watching. But on theone hand, while I wanted to make a pic¬ture that reflected an attitude aboutmovies and picture making, at thesame time, when you're making amovie I think it's very dangerous andultimately wrong to be thinking overtlyabout abstraction. What you want to do, tures about, . .Well, „pression which is thedrome": he would gepeople would analyzemovies, because theynizable characters -like my roommate,you're representing ifrom life, but a char;acter is a construct,about it as a construeActors don't like thatare trained in a schocrealism which is vethey want to understain those terms.

It's not a thriller, or a horror film,it's not a detective, or a western, or amelodrama. It changed directions a lotof times. I never had much interest inscience fiction: either science fiction asa genre, or what the questions of specu¬lative fiction pose — those aren't veryinteresting for me, except that I seescience fiction as looking at now andtrying to make some projection into thefuture that incorporates what's goingon now. I don't feel, as I do with west¬erns or gangster pictures, that I have amore intimate understanding of whatthe conventions are. So rather thancover other conventions there wasmore an emphasis on trying to makethe picture. It's a lot more dangerouswhen you're making a picture like An¬droid — is it a comedy, a tragedy, amelodrama? Android is a comedy, butthat's applying very broad rules ofwhat comedy is. I said to myself: if theprotagonist succeeds with his goal thanyou're doing a comedy, if he doesn'tyou're doing a tragedy. In those termsAndroid's a comedy, it's very funny.But Android originally started out asbeing a much more serious, dark ideaabout a corporation which is trying tocontrol labor supply by making the per¬fect working class and is somehowfoiled by the working class that it's try¬ing to create and control, because de¬spite the attempts to try and make an¬droids which would be perfectlymalable, in their complexity they be¬came individualistic. I toyed with theending for a long time. We actually shotan ending that implied that Cassandrawas in fact just going to be closer to re- Max and Cassandra, two androidsACADEMIA. EXPLOITATION,AND ANDROIDS IN FILMplacing Doctor Daniel — in terms ofcontrolling Max for her own ends,which were political. Her idea was for asuccessful android rebellion on Earth.One of the things I thought about was tomake that stronger at the end, to makeMax once again a submissive charac¬ter. But it just didn't work as well.RM: As it stands now it seems that herdesigns are to reach a community notso much for political reasons, but just tobe with others of her own kind.AL: That's part of the implication ofher first line spoken to Maggie, "Wrongme not good sister", that there's somemoral imperative that makes it wrongfor android and human to have a sexualrelationship.RM: But there's also that element of awoman addressing a woman suggestingperhaps that it's wrong for a man and awoman to have a sexual relationship.AL: Yeah.RM: How much were you consciouslyimplying a feminist perspective?That's something that is incorporatedinto a lot of today's Hollywood films,though I wouldn't necessarily label itfeminist. It's more like a liberal Imageof the "new woman."AL: We were aware of that. But one ofthe problems was that the Maggie char¬acter was not as strong in the film asshe was in the script, and of the threeprisoner/terrorists she comes off gen¬erally as the weakest instead of someone equal to the other two. And as a resuit the link between Maggie andCassandra doesn't quite work as well asit should. That implies that Cassandrahas to have more authority as androidthan as woman.RM: Then the character is more gearedtoward her "ethnic" background thantoward her sexuality.AL: Yeah.JM: How much of the ethnic diversitywas just a result of good casting, and how much did you really want to haveMax come off as the dark Jewishschmuck and Cassandra as the blondAryan priestess?AL: That was definitely one of the in¬tentions. Maggie was always the darkor earthier character, and Cassandrawas supposed to be the ethereal blondbeauty. The fact that the woman whoplayed Cassandra was tutonic and"Kinski-esque" was the clincher forcasting her.JM: It works because at the end it's notunsettling, it's a funny scene. But thereis this sense of "Good God, what is thiswoman going to be like?" — which isnice.AL: In the script the ending is a littledifferent. What I was going to do washave Cassandra take the device, thecircuit, which Kinski uses to alter Maxinto a killer, with her after she’d al¬ready restored him to imply that shecould replace it again. But that was try¬ing to do too much, it implied too much.I think the sense that she ultimately hascontrol over Max is implied but nothighlighted.RM: Do you think that that could beread as anti-semitic?AL: Well, it depends on how you inter¬pret Max's chances for success. Had lplayed up her less benevolent designson Max, it would have required me toplay up Max's uncooperativeness. Ifshe had done something that wouldhave implied to the audience that shewas going to try and control Max, thenit would have meant Max would have todo something that would imply that shewould not be successful.RM: So it depends on how much youtake for granted Max's. . .AL: . . .capabilities for rebelliousness.RM: As he did with Klaus KinskiJM: To what degree is it also anti¬feminist? I mean, Maggie's death is acontinued on page 8 Max on a deprogrammed rampageTHE GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRI DAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1982—7rMaxcontinued from page 7plot device, so that we finally Know thatthe Doctor is evil. But it also remindsme a lot of early Westerns, in which youhave a dark woman and a light woman,and the dark woman initiates the cen¬tral male character into certain things— i.e. sex — but has to get killed off sothat the light figure can take over. Howmuch were you somewhat playing withthat?AL: Well, killing Maggie was one of theharder decisions of the final movie, butas you look backward, narratively,there's no place for her at the end. Evenas written, Maggie never had the capa¬bility of succeeding. I don't think it'santi-feminist, because in the story Mag¬gie, Mendez, and Keller are subordin¬ate characters, basically. The story isabout Max, and Max's maturation andhis successful escape, and Cassandracomes across generally as a benevolentfigure in that process. The death ofMaggie is a requirement to get to thatsolution. I'm not really answering thequestion. . .JM: I'ts a leading question. I just thinkthat given the fact that you're dealingwith a certain genre, which is the NewWorld picture rather than a Western,the fact that characters are required todo something carries with it its own im¬plications. And with Maggie, a moresympathetic terrorist than any of theothers, we have her in an interestingsituation with Mendez and Keller, withthe whole problem of sexuality in a realform versus Max's idealization of sex.It seemed that there was a very inter¬esting subtext within the genre con¬strictions. Again, how much control didyou have over these developments?AL: Well, in deciding the ultimate fe¬minism or anti-feminism of the pictureit doesn't matter at all. I mean, that'sthe kind of thing you can argue and justify as much as you want and it hasnothing to do with what I say it has to dowith what the movie is.JM: That's a good "John Ford" answer.AL: I don't know if I can argue it anydifferently. There were really two setsof characters and at some point to dealwith the principals you have to sweepaway the suborinate characters. Originally there were more characters, andthat just compounded the problem because given the setting of the picturethere wasn't enough room for them.RM: It seems to me that in confrontingthis problem of how conscious a direc-tor is, about what goes into his filmsand where the unconscious meaning is,like you said, you can use a HowardHawks or John Ford position and say,no, that's not there. When HowardHawks was asked in some interviewabout homosexuality, he said, oh no, wewere just having a good time. But it becomes more complex with a directorlike you who's gone through the academic route, and being aware of certainelements in a film from a critical viewpoint and then talking about what isconscious or unconscious, I think youcome from, I don't mean to say a moreself-conscious perspective, but certainly. . .AL: Well, you know, that's what it is.I've asked directors these questions soit's reasonable to assume that I'maware these questions exist. Thatdoesn't mean that at any point l can'tsay, Well, that's not my job. I'm not acritic, I'm a director. . .RM: Yeah, but you were a film critic,and unlike Ford or Hawks, who werefrom a different generation.AL: But we get into the same problemin perspective. You get yourself into a worse bind by trying to find out whatyou're intentions were, and there aresome people who talk a lot about inten¬tions, but a few who don't. You can talkto a Sirk who's very clear about whathe's trying to do and has to wait twentyyears before he can find critics who willrespond to that kind of thing. But thereis a lot of refuge in just saying, "Justtrying to shoot the movie" you know.Like, "We shot from a high angle be¬cause we wanted to see the action."JM: Well, that brings up another inter¬esting question. Obviously, John Fordor Howard Hawks never had a chanceto read Peter Wollen's Signs and Mean¬ing in the Cinema. Did you feel like youhad to throw out everything you knew,everything that you had trained your¬self in, when you got down to making amovie?AL: No, I wouldn't have to throw it out.Basically, it's just not relevant. It's rel¬evant when — as I am with SlamDance, the first draft of which is beingwritten — I can talk to the scriptwriterabout very abstract things, about whatwe're trying to do. For example, weboth want a movie that somehow addresses the issue of violence and somehow resolves it without the blast of theguy who gets pushed too far and finallypulls out a gun and starts shooting everyone who's bothering him. We wantto do a picture that raises the questionabout attitudes toward violence, and Ithink it's very useful to have organizingprinciples of that kind, and have a perspective of that kind. Because basically, if you know what you're trying to do,then you can do it. If you just say, well,"I'm just trying to tell a story, I'm justtrying to move people," then you're onthe William Friedkin route: "I'm suecessful because people were scared."Then what are you doing? I can't believe that directors who consistentlymade movies that are good wouldn'thave had some sort of conscious or unconscious attitude about what theywere trying to say. They certainly did.If you can't do it instinctively, which iswhat instinctive artists do, then you'vegot to do it self-consciously, which iswhat self-conscious artists do. But, atsome point, you get beyond the pointwhere you can talk objectively about what you're doing and you've got tochoose the most efficacious way ofusing the time at hand. Which is "Arewe going to dolly in, or are we going todo a master and cut it." It's very easyto take refuge in production problems,because you can say, I'd like a real lowangle here, but the ceiling only goes uptwelve feet and if l go any lower I'm offthe set. OK, well, we'll go that low. Imean, what I try and do is make senseof the story and make sense of eachscene within the story, and know whatthe point is and try to execute it and tryto express that point.RM: Do you have any desires to contin¬ue more academic pursuits? It seemsthat you're in a fairly unique position inthat you have both the critical back¬ground, and the Hollywood directorialexperience which would allow you toperhaps fill in a lot of the gaps inherentto the Auteur theory. It seems to methat the Auteur theory, as it stands now,is insufficient as a critical and theoreti¬cal approach because it doesn't ad¬dress, nor can it incorporate, knowl¬edge of what actually goes on on the set,the outside factors which determinewhat goes in the image.AL: It's funny, when you read some ar¬ticles that are really so hampered bylacking information, ones that makereference to directorial choices, sup¬posed directorial choices, which aren'treally directorial choices at all. Yeah, Itheoretically would like to use what I'velearned and express it, and I wish Icould be like a Fassbinder who canmake three films a year and direct twoplays and write seven articles, but Ican'f.RM: And die at thirty-five.AL: Yeah. I'd rather keep making mov¬ies than write about them, and I have toconcentrate my energies in one direc¬tion or another. Directing really is a lotmore fun. Someday maybe it will paywell, too.JM: You're an interesting test case, forDOC and the University. In the earlydays, DOC would bring people Hitchcock, for example, and they would ask,"Did you do this, did you do that?" andthe directors would answer, "Well. . ."Here, we know you've written on film,and the big question seems to be, "What are you going to do now?"AL: Well, on the one hand, you neverwant to make movies for critics, but onthe other hand, you want to make mov¬ies your friends like. What it comesdown to is that I want to be in a positionto be able to direct the movies I want to,which means I've got to direct main¬stream American films. And what thatmeans is that I take whatever I knowabout film theory, film history, genrehistory, and take that as a given. That'sthe background I'm drawing on.JM: It sounds like you're in exactly theposition you were describing in yourdisertation.AL: I'm very aware of how other direc¬tors approach the problems I find my¬self in, but ultimately it's not that usefulinformation, because you can't directfor critics or by theory. You can makeMichael Snow films by theory; youcan't make Hollywood films by theory.You've got to make pictures that talk toan audience, and — at some point —you've got to do that by instinct. I willsay again that it goes back to whereyou're conceptualizing the project,where you're saying, "What is thisabout? What kind of questions are wegoing to raise?" And when I say thatmovies are about movies and art isabout art, even when you say that thereare political undertones to Android, it'snot a movie about IBM or GeneralMotors, it's a movie about a very clear,very limited political structure. Youcan say it's a hackneyed political struc¬ture — the bad corporation, the bad cor¬poration trying to keep down the goodworkers.RM: But I think that when you look atHollywood films, the ones that are mostinteresting from a political viewpointare not the consciously political or so¬cial films which were made in the Thir¬ties, but the Hawks films or Fordfilms.AL: What I would say would be the Sirkfilms or Minnelli films. One of thethings we're working on in Slam Dancethat's interesting to me is the contradic¬tion which I think you find in almostevery American film between theimage of the man, the male hero, asprotagonist, outsider, and the image ofthe man as head of the household, therepository of social values, the one whohas the responsibility for passing thosevalues down to a different generation,who has to be the figure-head of author¬ity. And the most interesting films arein ones which address this contradic¬tion. In certain films like TheSearchers, you have the father son re¬lationship ancf there's no other choice tobe made — either to go out and be thegunfighter, the lone hero, or to go backto society and become part of society.That's the kind of question found inHome from the Hill and The Big Heat.White Line Fever is real successful as agenre picture, but it's real interestingas a picture expressing matters in thesame way, with the guy who has this ge¬neric obligation to go out and kill thebad guys, but who has also got a socialobligation not to kill, to stay home withhis wife, to be a good father and to be agood member of society.JM: Well, it sounds like we now have aLipstadt Auteur theory, in which we seeyou dealing with adolescence in An¬droid and then moving to adulthood inSlam Dance.AL: That's the thing about Android, itdoesn't really fit. It's a strain to try andfigure out how Max — although it's aspecial case — has to solve those problems. He's on a distant planet, outsidethe system. . .but we'll have to wait forthe sequel.8 —FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1982-THE GREY CITY JOURNAL> f : ) : i * - - « * * • * • 7 » ' ' i e \ - \ \ j * r i5234 S.

But the School of the Art Insti¬tute's Video Data Bank clearly gives themost valuable and lasting return on its onlyrequired investment — time.The Institute recently added an interviewtape of painter Hollis Sigler to its collectionof 700 video tapes which document differentareas of contemporary art.Co-Director Kate Horsfield said that thereare currently 115 interview tapes “ofvarious people involved in the arts — photographers, dancers, film makers, but mostly painters and sculptors.“We have everyone from artists likeLouise Nevelson, an established sculptor, toHollis, who is just beginning to be known inthe art world."Horsfield said that Sigler did her graduatework at the School of the Art Institute. Afterreceiving her degree, she shifted her focusfrom photorealist painting and “began toexperiment. Her work is very intense andpersonal, and highly emotional."The Data Bank is divided into series. Thetapes are grouped to illustrate the develop¬ment of a style and similar or contrastingideologies of various artists. There is a polit¬ical art series, which contains tapes of ar¬tists and art forms expressing political phi¬losophies, and a narrative series featuringartists who “tell a story" with their work.The 29 minute Sigler tape is one of four inthe “New Narrative" series.Also available at the Data Bank are tapesof definitive performances from New York's“Kitchen," the country's “best alternativeart space," according to Horsfield.“Anyone can come in and sign up for atime to view a tape," she said. “We alsohave a circulation program for groups affi¬liated with organizations or institutions.This costs about $15 a year and it entitles thegroup to unlimited use of the video tapes.The rental charge for a tape is $50 a weekfor non commercial screenings, and the saleprice is $175 for the life-of-the tape.The School of the Art Institute is located at Columbus Drive and Jackson Blvd. Formore information about the Data Bank, call443-3793. —Julie LaytonRANDOLPH ST. GALLERYThe Randolph Street Gallery opened in itsnew location, 756 N. Milwaukee Ave., onOct. 16; the doors to the first exhibit, “Open¬ing New Doors," are scheduled to close Nov.27. Featuring 30 works by 30 artists, the ex¬hibit demonstrates the versatility of thespace and the broad artistic range of someof Chicago's more divergent talents.Executive director Mary Min said the gal¬lery was moved from the Haymarket arealocation, where it was established in 1979,because more space was needed to fulfill thegallery's primary purpose of providing ar¬tists with room to experiment and expandtheir work. The long-vacant Jerome Labo¬ratory building was chosen because of itssize, accessibility to the public, and theowner, gallery board member Lewis Man- ilow, proffered the use of the first two floorsrent free. The gallery relocated last summer, and recently renovations were com¬pleted on the 6,000 square feet of space.“It's working out very well," Min said.“We have a lot more people coming to thegallery now."“It really makes a difference," AssistantDirector Lynette Mohill said. “It's so muchnicer to have large rooms, high ceilings, andfloors that are wide enough to accommodatea performance area."Mohill said that the current exhibit wasorganized by the gallery's nine member ex¬hibition committee. The committee selected15 artists from the 300 who had shown workat the gallery's former location, and askedthese artists to invite one artist who had in¬fluenced them or who they considered to be"a rising talent." The extensive amount ofavailable floor and wall space provided bythe gallery allowed great conceptual free¬dom, and gave the artists the opportunity todisplay large-scale works.Stephen Lapthisophon, for his work enti¬ tled “Certain Kinds of Forgetting: TheWorld Outside and the Pictures in OurHeads," painted a picture in ink and latexon one wall of the gallery, photographed it,and then painted over the picture. The photographs are all that remain to testify to theexistence of the work. They hang in the gallery accompanied by literary quotationsand a statement by Lapthisophon whichclarifies his purpose in creating the work.Curving, twisting lines of paint cover the7-by 12 canvas included in Nancy ForestBrown's work entitled “Eat The Rich." Thepaint is not confined to the canvas, however.Lines were spray painted on the surrounding walls, and they trail up to the ceiling.The work is full of energy, and the linesseem to tremble with potential movement —they can be perceived as having boundedfrom the canvas of their own accord.The gallery space encouraged the artiststo experiment, and several took advantageof the opportunity to depart from their pastmode of expression. Dennis Kowalski'swork, “Living With the Fear of Security in aDangerous World," is “completely differentfrom anything he has done before," Mohillsaid. “Usually his sculptures are smallerand more traditional."The work consists of a rubber raft hangingfrom the ceiling, a number of traffic conespositioned to form an “X" on the floor underthe raft, an American Flag supported sothat it looks as if it's waving in the wind, anda fan that isn't turned on. The work covers200 feet of space; according to Min, it wasconceived as an outdoor installation piece.All the works at the exhibit are for sale,and they range in price from $50 for the collage‘ “Vase" pieces by Jennifer Hereth, to$4,500 for the “Path of Thorns" quilt madeby Coreen Brown.Richard Hart, who spent the past tenyears in Southern California developing performance art, will combine music, poetryand gesture in his first Chicago show to beheld at the gallery Nov. 19 and 20 at 9 p.m.The cost is $3 for the public, and $2 for gallery members.The Randolph Street Gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.Phone 666 7737 for further event information—Julie LaytonGREY CITY BRUNCHSUNDAV 12:30 5537 S.

Took up with aman younger than herself, who turned out tobe a practicing homosexual. And began hercareer of political and social agitation."Kevin slumps in his chair. Bounces hishead. Blue tipped bics play to the cadence ofthe professor's voice."Emma Goldman," he says. "Then en¬tered into a long affair with a young Britishwoman, while simultaneously maintainingan affair with a German anarchist. Who in¬fluenced much of her early writings."Kevin falls from his chair. Rests on thefloor. Titters. Professor lowers eyes fromland of dead to apparition on the speckledlinoleum. Eyes dancing lightly off Kevin'sface, he says:"At this point, early in 1910, Goldman ar¬rived in New York. She began an on againoff again affair with Big Bill Haywood.

He chants: "In theuniversities, where we play with the tools ofknowledge that should give us the elementalabilities to see and to resist the onslaught ofa new paranoid style in American socio-poli¬tics, we say and do nothing. Our teachersconsole and pacify us. We are taught toapotheosize scholarly objectivity, to desic¬cate anger, and to learn above all else howto best translate the potency of ideas into theobsequience of loyal service and love oftechnique. We are taught to worship theprison heroics of the men and women whodecorously play out patterns of social func¬tion and individual pleasures. We are taughtto be still born, pleasantly dead. This is un¬forgivable behavior."Below the stage the dancers sway. Casey,stage right, slaps notes off the piano. Two tvsets show mute Toxteth video. Bass picks uppace and volume."We must stop being so temporate, so re¬signed. We must try to remember the mean¬ing of an Artaud, who can explain, 'I meanthat if it is important for us to eat first of all,it is even more important for us not to wastein the sole concern for eating our simplepower of being hungry.' What we must do isscream. Scream so that people can hear us.And in those screams must be a new lan¬guage, a new political capable of re thinkingour America.

The grad¬uate leagues held their semifinals, leavingsix teams in the playoffs. Results were un¬available at press time.In one semi-final game yesterday, theBovver Boys met Barney’s Meat Market.Bovver Boys reached the semi-finals by run¬ning up the biggest score of the year againstAcetominophin Removed, 84-0. Barney’sMeat Market advanced by beating ExtraStrength Tylenol by a score of 20-7. In theother semi-final, Dean and the Crewcutstook on Bok’s Rocks. In what the Maroonmistakenly referred to as a potentially closegame. Dean and the Crew cuts rolled overthe Liquidators by a score of 35-12. Bok’sRocks defeated Cinema Face 26-10 to ad¬vance to the semi-finals. The winners of thesemi-finals will meet on Saturday for thegraduate championship. This championshipcould conceivably 1 taken by anybody.Each semifinalist has looked strong in itsplayoff competition. The winner of Satur¬day’s championship will take on the under¬graduate champion Wednesday in theHanna Bowl.In undergraduate independent semi¬finals, FIJI will meet N.U.T.S. in the finalson Saturday. The winner will play the under¬graduate residence champion Monday. Bothof these teams are undefeated. FIJI beat PsiUpsilon 6-0 to advance, while N.U.T.S. hadsome trouble with Delta Smegma but finally won by a score of 9-2. N.U.T.S. appears to bethe favorite to win the independent champi¬onship and the undergraduate champion¬ship.In the undergraduate residence finals,Chamberlin will play Henderson. Chamber¬lin defeated Compton 27-13 yesterday whileHenderson got by Hale by a score of 2-0.In the Chamberlin-Compton game, bothteams appeared somewhat nervous in thefirst half. Compton had apparently scoredfirst in the game on a punt return only tohave it called back. Chamberlin finally didscore near the end of the first half to take a7-0 halftime lead. In the second half, Cham¬berlin scored quickly to take a 14-0 lead.Compton quickly retaliated with its firstscore of the game, closing the gap to 14-6;however, Chamberlin put together yet an¬other impressive drive to take a 20-6 lead.Compton scored with just over three min¬utes left to cut Chamberlin’s lead to 20-12.Still, Compton missed the crucial extrapoint. Chamberlin on its next drive scoredon a long third down pass to ice the gameand win 26-12.The Henderson-Hale game was not aswide open. In what was supposed to be anoffensive showcase, neither team's offensecould get rolling. The only score in the gamecame in the first half when Hale suffered aholding penalty in the end zone, and thusHenderson scored a safety. This was a toughway for Hale to lose, but the game will be ofno consequence on Saturday when Cham¬berlin once again wins the undergraduateresidence title by 20 points.KEITH JARRETTSOLO CONCERTONLY CHICAGO AREA CONCERTORCHESTRA HALLSATURDAY.

Repeatedly the Maroons pushed deepinto NU territory but could not score. Out¬standing tackling efforts by winger CyOggins and number eight Kevin Trammelkept Northwestern shy of the goal on manyoccasions. As the first half ended, Northwes¬tern clung to its 4-0 lead.Once the Maroons put the wind to theirbacks, Northwestern was doomed. Chica¬go’s Stan Watowich scored the first of histwo tries to tie the score at 4-4. Minuteslater, fullback Scott Lucas converted a pen¬alty kick (comparable to a field goal) to put the Maroons ahead to stay at 7-4. Lucasagain connected on a field goal from 42yards to up the lead to 10-4. Later, Watowichscooped up a loose ball deep in Northwes¬tern’s end and dove into the end zone for thefinal score, making it 14-4.Northwestern entered the Chicago half ofthe field once in the entire second half.Booming punts by Sandy Cartwright, PatWaresk, and Lucas continually pinnedNorthwestern deep in its own end. The U ofC pack then outmuscled a less skilled NUpack to control the ball and enable to backsto score.Overall, it was perhaps the finest effort ofthe year for the Ruggers whose record isnow 4-2. Coach Doug McTaggart was elated,attributing the Maroons’ success to rigorousconditioning. Captain Steve Hutt summedup the team’s sentiments for their coach,saying, “He has given much of his time andmuch of his knowledge to us. By playinghard and following his instructions, we’rewinning. And that’s his goal for us; we wanthim to share our pride. He’s been a giantfactor in our success.”DOZEN edceIBAGELS rilSt#SAVE *1.79WITH THE PURCHASE of1 lb* or MORE of LOXwhile quantities last.SUNDAY, NOV. 14,1982MORRY'S DELI5500 5. CORNELL22—The Chicago Maroon—Friday, November 12, 1982NewsDoctor in LebanonContinued from page fivetains. In Lebanon, private medical servicesare more commercialized than they are inNorth America, and there was a publicscandal in February of this year when theLebanese Minister of Health appeared onLebanese television after two people literal¬ly bled to death on the doorsteps of hospitalsbecause they did not have enough money topay for medical services. Quite simply, ifyou didn’t have the money, you didn’t getthe treatment. Period.There were a couple of charitable organi¬zations which were charitable organizationsas far as dispensing medical care was con¬cerned, and the Palestine Red Crescent So¬ciety was the most important of thesegroups. It operated seven hospitals in Le¬banon — three in Beirut, three in the south(one each in Sidon, Tyre and Nabatiyeh)and the seventh in the Bekka Valley. All ofthese are now closed, except for the one inthe Bekka Valley.Another socio-medical problem resultingfrom this summer has to do with the casu¬alties: over 90 percent of the casualties werecivilians, and when you conduct a war withboth pinpoint bombing, and indiscriminatesaturation bombing, there will be a numberof crippling injuries and amputations whichwill result. Then you have more than a prob¬lem of injured and maimed children. Youhave a socio-economic problem having to dowith the next generation of Palestinians andLebanese. A crippled person in Americansociety is very often a burden on his family.In the Third World, a cripple has only onevocation: begging. They cannot be wage-earners, they are not useful members of so¬ciety, and physiotherapy and rehabilitationare unknown. So these maimed childrengrow up to be maimed adults, and they willbe a burden on society.Another problem in the Third World has todo with sanitation and infectious diseases.Such things as polio, typhoid, infantile diar¬rhea and tuberculosis — diseases only rare¬ ly ever heard about in the U.S. — are ende¬mic to the Third World even in the best oftimes. Every summer there were cases oftyphoid. In the refugee camps there wereopen ditches — sewers really — that ran infront of the doorsteps of the houses. Veryoften in the winter — and Mediterraneanwinters have extremely heavy rains — youfrequently had to wade through water whichwas up to your knees. Now, with opensewers, this meant quite literally that youwere walking in shit.Most of the water was quite unfit to drink,and the people took it as a matter of courseto drink bottled water; it was not that thesepeople liked mineral water or Perrier butthat this water was the only safe wateravailable to a large amount of the Palestin¬ian population.Why was I there? I’ve spent the last 14years working in West Africa, North Africaand the Middle East. Call me a humanitari¬an of whatever, but I’m concerned for thepeople there. And I’m willing to do some¬thing about it.American Political CultureWhat must happen in the wake of theevents this summer, and particularly inlight of the massacres at Sabra and Sh*atilacamps, is that the Middle East must be de-mythified. For 40 years North Americanshave heard only one side of the issue, andintellectual terrorism, or the term “self-hat¬ing Jew,” has been used against anyone whocriticized Israel; the first term for all non-Jews, and the second, of course, was givento Jews. There are atrocities on all sides:nobody’s hands in the Middle East areclean, and for every Kiryat Shemona therewas a Deir Yassin.In the last quarter of the twentieth centu¬ry a modern capital was beseiged for threemonths, and throughout the “civilized”world, from the Arab countries to the “pro¬gressive socialist” countries to the industri¬alized West, with its high technology, theonly major demonstration against the war was in Tel Aviv! And that is something thatI will never forget. And humanity will neverforget it either.And you will never have to ask yourselfagain how it occurred that six million Jewsmarched to their deaths, to the gaschambers, while others watched. The an¬swer is very simple: all you have to do is tostudy what went on in your own society dur¬ing the summer of 1982. The mental processof the onlooker is the same. I’m not trying todraw an analogy between the Holocaust andthe seige of Beirut; I’m saying that the peo¬ple who looked on from their living roomsevery night, watching television day afterday, week after week — the mental processof those people is the same as that of the“good” Germans of the 1930s and 1940s.They did not demand that an end be put towhat was happening, they did not say thatthere is a limit to what you can to in a war,because they had dehumanized the victim.A Palestinian male over the age of pubertywas by definition a terrorist, a two-leggedanimal, that had to be “disinfected,” thearea had to be “sterilized” of them — thiswas the language that was used by theIsraeli authorities. And do not read the com¬mentaries of what they said, please, readwhat they actually said. This was the lan¬guage that was used. Once you dehumanizethe victim, then anything is possible — he’sless human, after all. And so, if you’reblack, then naturally you’re inferior, andit’s all right to be lynched; and if you’reJewish, then of course you’re a Shylock, andso naturally you can be gassed; and ifyou’re a Palestinian, then naturally you’re aterrorist, and you can be bombed and bea¬ten to death and laid seige to. The mentalprocess involved is the same.The charicatures of Arabs and Palestin¬ians today are quite startling: if you look atthe cartoons in the Nazi literature of the1930s and 1940s you will see that Jews areportrayed either as fat, ugly internationalfinancers with long crooked noses or as lef¬tist subversives involved in the world Jew¬ish Communist conspiracy. In the 1970s and1980s Arabs are portrayed either as fat, uglyoil sheiks with long crooked noses or as ter¬rorists, skulking about in dark corners. And if you look at the actual charicatures youwill be in for quite a shock!There has been far too much laxity inNorth America — and I’m not talking aboutdrugs or promiscuity — I’m talking aboutbasic concerns for what goes on in much ofthe world outside of peoples’ living rooms. Itis this type of laxity that was present inEurope in the 1930s and 1940s. This samelaxity here in North America allowed thesummer of 1982 to happen. And the summerof 1982 is as much the responsibility of muchof the leaders of the “civilized” world as it isof the leadership of the Palestine LiberationOrganization and the leaders of Israel.Israeli society exists whether the Pales¬tinians like it or not, and the Palestinianpeople and society exist, whether Israelislike it or not. You cannot base your positionon simpe moral rectitude: everybody’sright in the Middle East, and nobody’s right.Once again, nobody’s hand are clean, andthere have been more than enough atroci¬ties committed over the 50 or 60 years, com¬mitted by all side. Now either you believe incertain principles or you do not, and one ofthose principles is the rights of peoples. Andrights by definition have to be equal, other¬wise they are not rights but privileges. Someof these basic rights are the right to securi¬ty, and to national sovereignty — if you denythat right to any one group then you are nolonger talking about your own rights but in¬stead your own privileges.What is a possible solution? A solutionbased on gross injustice is no solution, it is aformula for more war, more devastationand more death. And ultimately more injus¬tice. Many compromises have to be made —you never make peace without making com¬promises. Both sides are going to have tomake the necessary compromises if they re¬ally want their people to live in peace, and ifthey really want their own society toflourish, and their own human potential toflourish. Sloganeering is easy, and there hasbeen far too much of it. Now there are moreand more voices, within both Palestinianand Israeli circles, against sloganeering. 1only hope that it is those voices that eventu¬ally will win the day. Then a possible solu¬tion will appear.Tesf King Kaplan: “Teaching is my life”Continued from page fiveMaroon: So you could have been teachingsomething radically different if the markethad led you differently.Kaplan: I never looked on it as, “Hey, isthere a market? Will it last?” I just enjoyedwhat I was doing.Maroon: I'd like to know what there isunique in a Stanley Kaplan lecture, that youdon’t find in a lecture here?Lecker: The focus was more on preparingme to take the exam and learning what I hadto know to get through the exam, as opposedto what you get here where you get all sortsof graphs and all this different knowledge.Kaplan: When you take a course in college,the skills you will need in business schoolaren’t directly tested. The GMATs do testthese skills. That’s why the tests have greatpredictability. The students I’ve talked tosay that the kinds of skills reviewed — wedon’t teach, we review — are skills theyfound useful not only on the test but in (heschools they got into. That’s why studies ofthe LSAT, for example, have found the theLSAT is a better predictor of performancein first year law school than is the gradepoint average.Maroon: Does the correlation hold so firmlythat the people who’s scores are boosted byyour course also have their performanceboosted while in law school?Kaplan: Are you saying, “Am I doping up ahorse so that it wins the race but afterwardshas really accomplished nothing?”Maroon: Sort of.Kaplan: We cannot artificially raise scores.Only an imporved student will get an im¬proved score. It’s just like any test you takein school. About 5 percent of my program istest-taking strategies.Maroon: If 95 percent of the course is inteaching educational skills, there should bea difference between the students in the bestcolleges — the students who have alreadyattained reasoning skills — and students inless demanding colleges. Scores from stu¬dents in the top schools shouldn’t improvedramatically. Smith: I would say the potential is higher,the better the student is, because their per¬ception of their needs is better. Their abilityto understand the skills they need to acquireis better.Kaplan: I agree wholeheartedly. For somereason or other, we had better results interms of improvement from students fromthe University of Chicago and Yale and Har¬vard and Stanford than we’ve had from stu¬dents at “second rate” collegesMaroon: That implies that there are somereasoning skills that you’re teaching thatare not being taught at schools like thisone.Kaplan: That’s possible. To get the reason¬ing behind this is a difficult thing. Most ofthe elitist colleges don’t want to review orprepare for the tests. They want the stu¬dents to do it on their own. And the studentsdon’t have the time.Maroon: How do major universities receiveyour program? Is there hostility?Kaplan: I would say there’s been decreas¬ing hostility. Fifteen years ago if they foundyou had taken an MCAT course you mightget blackballed. Now they’re aware of theegalitairan aspect of our program becausewe have never turned down a student be¬cause of inability to pay. If we can identifystudents who are qualified and disadvan¬taged we’re happy to fill the gap. They tooka poll and people think my courses are finebut they’re concerned about the people whocan’t afford it. Can they have access? Andthis is where we come in and say, “Look, weprovide the services to those who can’t af¬ford it.’Maroon: How much financial aid do yougive?Kaplan: About 10 percent of the students inour program is on financial aid. If you’regetting 50 percent scholarship at the college,we trust their judgment and we give a 50percent fee waiver. We figure that if you canpay the $5,000 to go to the university you canafford $325 to take our course. We like you tomake some sort of commitment.Maroon: If one person takes your courseand somebody else doesn’t, and because of your course the first person’s score jumpsover the second person’s, isn’t the lawschool tricked into taking the person whomight not be as qualified to be a law stu¬dent?Kaplan: If somebody goes to Oshkosh Uni¬versity, and somebody else goes to the Uni¬versity of Chicago, and gets better educa¬tional experience, I’d say that’s more of anunfair advantage than taking my course ornot taking my course. And furthermore, it’sa matter of choice. Some people feel they don’t want the help or don't need the help.Life is fair until you’re bom.Maroon: What sort of job satisfaction do youget out of this profession?Kaplan: It’s the same sort of satisfactionthat led me to pay a dime to a kid so I couldteach him. I always tell the students, “Youget the biggest thrill out of doing well. I getthe second biggest thrill.” My rewards aregetting ten blacks into medical school. Imay work 60, 70 hours a week sometimesbut I enjoy it.City plan to tax NU studentsBy Margo HablutzelThe City of Evanston and NorthwesternUniversity are engaged in another chapterof their continuing “town V. gown” battle.Budget deficits and program cutbacks haveforced the City Council to resurrect a 10-year-old proposal to levy a l1^ percent tu¬ition tax on every Northwestern student.A similar proposal, for a much smalleramount, was made last winter by Northwes¬tern alum Aid. Jack Korshak, but was with¬drawn in favor of further negotiations.As the controversy continues, other uni¬versities await the outcome. The proposedtuition tax would be the first of its kind, butacademians fear that if passed it will not bethe only one."To tax people trying to improve them¬selves through education is invidious,” saidWilliam Ihlanfeldt, the university’s vicepresident for institutional relations.Evanston provides Northwestern with po¬lice and fire protection as well as the use ofpublic libraries, services which it estimatescosts up to $800,000 per year. In a detailedreport, the city showed that the universitycosts some $635,000 more per year than itprovides in revenues.Northwestern countered with an evenmore detailed report, in which it showedthat the university contributes as much as$1,700,000 more to Evanston than the cityprovides in services. The report pointed outthat the university is the city’s largest em¬ ployer and noted its cultural contributions inthe form of art galleries and speakers. Italso said that Evanston receives a substan¬tial amount of revenue from students whomake purchases in the city.“We want to make the alderman awarethat we help the city’s economy already,”said Drew Shoshnick, one of Northwestern'sstudent government leaders. The 10,000 stu¬dents, who pay as much as $12,000 each yearfor tuition, room, and board, are planning towarn forty merchants whose businesses de¬pend on their patronage that if the mer¬chants do not oppose the tuition tax, the stu¬dents will boycott their businesses.An alternative to the tuition tax is to havethe university pay a yearly amount to Evan¬ston to offset the cost of the municipal ser¬vices it uses. A number of universities, suchas Princeton, Harvard, and the Massachu¬setts Institute of Technology, now makesuch voluntary contributions. The latter twomake contributions in lieu of property taxesto Cambridge, Mass., because of expansionswhich have removed land from Cam¬bridge’s tax rolls. Northwestern contendsthat because it is primarily built on a land¬fill and has returned almost 350 acres ofland to Evanston’s tax rolls over the years,it should be exempt from such contribu¬tions.The Evanston City Council will decidenext week whether the tuition tax proposalshould be sent to the city’s Budget Commit¬tee.The Chicago Maroon—Friday, November 12, 1982—23InterviewColonelContinued from page fiveA: Yes; they can assassinate any time.But the PLO is now scattered in six Arabcountries, all alert that they do not organize,that they do not start shooting from there,that they do not cause Israeli retaliation.There will be a period of some years whenthey are not organized, so negotiation is pos¬sible.Q: Abu Lughod, a Palestinian spokesman,has said that Israel is a superpower;Israel’s security is not now an issue; theworld must respond to the problems of thePalestinians. What is your reaction tothat?A: There is both the Palestinian questionand Israel’s security involved; both arequestions. As for the Palestinian question, ifthe Arab world had absorbed the refugees,and given them ten percent of what Israelgave to Jewish refugees from the Arabcountries, it would have been enough tosolve the problem long ago. As for Israel’ssecurity, Israel may be secure as far as itsexistence is concerned, but the PLO was,and hostile Arab countries still are, in a po¬sition to inflict heavy civilian casualties onIsrael. Israel could not stand the sitution innorthern Israel anymore. In Kiryat She-moneh, 25,00 of the 30,000 inhabitants hadleft to escape PLO shelling.Q: How has your attitude toward the PLOchanged because of your experiences in Le¬banon?A; In all my previous writings, I wouldnever use words like “terrorists” to de¬scribe the PLO. I considered this to bebiased and non-objective. After I saw thesuffering that they have caused for the Le¬banese people, how every gunman became agovernor, how they humiliated the peoplethere — when you are in Lebanon and see allthis, you change your mind. I despise theway in which you call him a gang, and herefers to Israel as a “pretended state,” as ifit does not actually exist. I would rather re¬frain from this kind of argumentation. But Ihave been to Lebanon. From now on, thewords I use to describe the PLO would begangs of the most brutal kind.Q: People say, look at what the PLO isnow. Arafat has gone to Hussein; he is look¬ing at peace as a possibility. How can youcontinue to call Arafat a terrorist, and notrecognize the PLO as a legitimate politicalparty?A: We will recognize them, provided onething: they agree that they come to live nextto Israel, not instead of Israel. America hasoffered to talk to the PLO if they will onlyrecognize Israel’s right to exist. The PLO ismadly eager for the United States to recog¬ nize them, but still they won’t give up theirdeclaration for the destruction of Israel. Thecommon denominator that unites the groupsof the PLO is the negation of Israel. If somegroups in the PLO will join the dialogue, be¬come partners in the negotiation withIsrael, this is fine. The crux of the problemis the conflict between Israel and the Pales¬tinians; there it started, and there it mustend.Q: Arafat says he can’t recognize Israelbecause it is his only bargaining card. Whatis your response?A: If I believe in his good intentions, Iwould expect him to say he is ready to re¬cognize Israel, provided: Israel will with¬draw from the West Bank and Gaza, Israelwill agree to establish a Palestinian Arabstate, and so forth. But he won’t do it.Q: If he does, would Israel negotiate withhim?A: I can’t speak on behalf of the govern¬ment of Israel, or the public. In my bestjudgment, if Arafat does so — and this isjust a hypothetical idea — then Israel mightsay, whoever recognizes our right to existand negotiates with us to live in peace, wewill negotiate with him. There will be peoplewho say no on both sides, but the majoritiesof the two people would be willing to sitdown, and stop the endless wars.Q: You were in charge, for the Israel De¬fense Forces, of civilian aid in Lebanon.There have been charges that Israel ob¬structed relief efforts by various interna¬tional agencies like the Red Cross. Is thereany truth to this?A: This is not true. The cooperation withthe Red Cross went to the utmost. I toldthem many times: whatever you need it isat your disposal; any of my personnel willgive you any assistance you need. Coopera¬tion with the UN, with UNRWA, was evenmore, as long as they agreed to accept ourassistance. Sometimes they said they weresubject only to the decisions of the Lebanesegovernment. When the authorities in Beirutsaid they would not let them erect houses,then they were willing to cooperate. Wewent to Beirut to try to convince the govern¬ment to let them build houses for the Pales¬tinians, and still they wouldn’t allow it. So,we supplied tents to UNRWA and, againstthe instructions of the government in Beirut,we issued permits for Palestinians to re¬build houses destroyed by the Lebanese mu¬nicipalities. These will be concrete houses,not tents.Q: We have seen pictures of cities in Le¬banon said to have been destroyed byIsrael; we have heard about Israel holdingback food and water from Beirut during thewar. Are these pictures and stories accu¬rate?A: Many pictures have been shown thatare actually pictures of Damour and Zahle,Catering Holiday CelebrationsCall us forfine cuisine and gracious service.Cocktail receptions, dinners. and parties.Call Mr. Joe Spellman.

The fact is that Israelis not very good at propaganda. For in¬stance,two Israeli helicopter pilots caughtby the PLO were brought to Sidon, bound topickups, and dragged through the streets;that is how they were killed. Israel has notpublicized things like this; why, I do notknow. As for Beirut, it is true that Israelheld back food and water, but only for shortperiods of time. It was not a great pleasureto be in Beirut, but Beirut was open. Anyonewho wanted to could go out and in; this wasnot the kind of siege where you hermeticallyclosed the city. They could leave, and manydid.
