This year, a symposium is being held inhonor of the 40th anniversary of the historic event.Dangers mar fission’s40th birthday partyBy Jeff TaylorA commemorative sympo¬sium will be held at the Univer¬sity Dec. 1 and 2, forty yearsafter a team of scientists head¬ed by Enrico Fermi achievedthe first controlled self-sustain¬ing nuclear reaction in an ex¬periment which catapultedmankind into the nuclear age.The symposium wll examinethe broad scientific and politi¬cal implications of Fermi’s ex¬periment, which was conduct¬ed in a converted squash courtunder the west stands of theoriginal Stagg Field, near whatis now Regenstein Library.Physics Professor RobertSachs, chairman of the Univer¬sity faculty committee that or¬ganized the symposium, saidthe symposium will give an in¬formative overview of the his¬torical consequences of the ex-periement, and not attempt tosupport a particular position.President Hanna Gray con¬ceived the idea of the sympo¬sium, he said.Topics of discussion are di¬vided into three groups: Histo¬ry of the Chain Reaction,Peaceful Uses of NuclearPower, and Control of NuclearArmaments. Three Nobellaureates, Hans Bethe of Cor¬nell University, Glenn Seaborgof the Atomic Energy Commis¬sion and Eugene Wigner ofPrinceton University, will bejoined by Edward Levi of theUniversity of Chicago, WalterMassey, director of ArgonneNational Laboratory and U ofC Vice-President for ResearchWalter Massey, and others inspeaking on these topics.Sachs stated that “the mostimportant thing to realize isPublications NoteThis is the last regular issueof The Chicago Maroon for theAutumn Quarter.

You must hope whatyou discover will be used inbeneficial ways.’’ The sympo¬sium will attempt to communi¬cate this idea, he said.University of Illinois PhysicsProfessor Albert Wattenburg,a participant in the experi¬ment, described Fermi as“pleasant and easy-going,”and stated that Fermi “nevermade mistakes,” in an articleby Wattenburg in the De¬cember 1982 issue of the Bulle¬tin of the Atomic Scientists.Wattenburg also described thecourse of events which led toachievement of the reaction.Continued on page sixCo-op: outBy Steve ShandorFor the first time in twoyears, the board of directors ofthe Hyde Park Co-op had goodfinancial news at its annualmembership meeting, held lastSunday at the Hyde ParkUnion Church. Board membersexpressed hope that this year,which marks the 50th anniver¬sary of the Co-op’s founding,will be remembered as the re¬birth of the cooperative move¬ment in Hyde Park. Over 90persons attended the meeting.President of the boardJeanne Orlikoff told the Co-opmembers, “This past year wasthe year that went out of thered and into the black or atleast into the rosy.” Orlikoffpredicted that “next year willbe even better.”Gib Spencer, general manag¬er of the Co-op, presented thefacts which formed the basis ofOrlikoff’s optimism. After jok¬ing that “in some ways the lasttwo years seemed like fifty,”Spencer announced that theCo-op’s food division showed a$133,000 profit this year aftersuffering a loss of $232,000 lastyear. Spencer added that “foodsales were up 9.2 percent from ©Copyright 1982 The Chicago Maroon Tuesday, November 23, 1982IBX system bugs usersBy George WoodburyWith almost 60 percent of thenew Inter Business Exchange(IBX) phones installed acrosscampus, users are experienc¬ing both frustration and hopeaccording to a recent surveyby the Maroon. The results ofthe investigation to date havebeen mixed, with an emphasison the problems of the sys¬tem.A joint committee from theTelecommunications and theComputation Center originallyproposed the change from Cen¬trex system to IBX because ofthe IBX computer’s ability toprocess calls and computerdata bases more rapidly andwith less expense. Final ap¬proval from the Board ofTrustees for the $10 million in¬stallation cost by Intecom, anaffiliate of Exxon, came inJanuary of 1979. The system of8300 new lines will be practical¬ly complete by next April.Frederick Sweeney, directorof operations, said that the rea¬son for the purchase of the so¬phisticated telecommunica¬tions equipment is a hope forincreased efficiency of thephone system. At completion,the University will have theworld’s first large, integratednetwork for the digital transferof calls and computer data.The network will be controlledby three master switches in theAdministration Building.The first switch, completedlast year, controls the phonesof the Business School, thePhysical Sciences Division, theComputation Center, and anumber of other departments.The second switch controls thebiggest phone user on campus,the medical center, and is cur¬rently being installed. Switchthree will control the southcampus, the National OpinionResearch Center, and miscel¬laneous lines. Some isolated re¬mote sites that require costlyof the redthe year before while expensesin 1982 increased only 3.2 per¬cent.”Even the furniture divisionof the Co-op, in which salesdropped 6.5 percent over thelast year, was able to hold itsown.Total net savings for theHyde Park Co-op for the fiscalyear were $123,336.Spencer cautioned, though,that the Co-op’s expenses “willremain high for at least threeyears” as it starts to repay theloans which financed the re¬cent remodeling of the store.Spencer added that the Co-opwill also face more competitionin its food division if the A&Pon 51st St. reopens in the nearfuture.The cautiously optimistic at¬titude of the board provided agood introduction to the historyof the Co-op presented by attor¬ney and alderman Leon M.Despres. Despres did not evenmention the problems of recentyears, and prefereed to devotemost of his time to chroniclingthe growth of the Co-op overthe past fifth years.Despres nuted that a longbackground of consumers’ co¬ lines will stay on Centrex andthe dorms will eventually havetheir own parallel systems.In effect, the University willhave its own phone system,operated by Intecom ratherthan Illinois Bell.The IBX system has severalcost benefits. According to thereport issued by the joint com¬mittee, U of C rents Centrexfrom Illinois Bell for $2.5 mil¬lion per year. The report pre¬dicts that annual savings fromusing IBX will eventually payfor its installation.Jonathan Kleinbard, vicepresident for University newsand community affairs, re¬marked, “The cost of installa¬tion is $10 million, and the Uni¬versity will save $10 millionover the next ten years inoperating costs.”The newness of the system,however, is one of its short¬term drawbacks. Sweeneysaid, “We’re plowing newground, and whenever youplow new ground you expect toencounter problems.”The Maroon sent reporters tovarious locations on campus toquestion users about the IBXsystem. A survey of peopleleaving Regenstein revealedthat 55 percent of the libraryusers have not yet used the newphones. Five percent of thepeople polled reported thatthey have used the new phoneswith no confusion or mechani¬cal difficulty. However, 25 per¬cent of those polled have beenextremely confused by thecharacters on the phones and15 percent have run into me¬chanical trouble.Among those problems men¬tioned were severe static,being cut off during a conver¬sation, and strange back¬ground noises.A survey of the WoodwardCourt system, the first dormnetwork to be installed,' re¬vealed some interesting re¬ sults. Mary Avant, one of theswitchboard operators inWoodward, said, “The newswitchboard will be set up inOctober. Calls will go throughdirectly to the rooms a lot fas¬ter and easier. All the dormsare going to go onto the newsystems.” Avant also ex¬plained that students will beable to make campus callsfrom their rooms.Most of the 4600 IBX phonesso far installed are in the mainquadrangles, the libraries, andthe Research Institutes. JeffElton, an employee of the Busi¬ness School Development Of¬fice, remarked that experi¬ences of his offices during thefirst year of use were “incred¬ibly terrible.” He added thatwhile digital computer lineswill be extensively used in theoffices, “the phones over hereare down from time to timeand the professionalism of thenew company in fixing prob¬lems has not been as good as Il¬linois Bell’s. They don’t informus when they’re going to doroutine maintenance, andwe’re left wondering, without aphone.” Elton said that the fre¬quency of mechanical prob¬lems has gone down remarkalyin the last few weeks.Romuald Szara, assistant tothe director of the Research In¬stitutes, mentioned many ofthe system’s problems, partic¬ularly cut-offs during conver¬sations and tremendous static.However, he also said that he isconfident that the “bugs will beworked out,” and the IBX willbe a long-term improvement.Administrators in Regen¬stein Library would not discussthe problems they have beenexperiencing. One administra¬tor said, “Regenstein has hadgreat difficulties, as othershave on campus, but I don’twant to talk about it.”Continued on page 26and into the rosyoperatives in Illinois” preceed-ed the founding of the Co-op inDecember, 1932. The principlesespoused by these co-opera¬tives were “open membership(i.e., no discrimination againstapplicants), democratic con¬trol by the members, limitedreturn on shared capital, andreturns based on patronage.”At first, Despres points out,the Hyde park Co-operative So¬ciety “wasn’t a store, it was abuying club” in which themembers saved money by buy¬ ing in bulk at wholesale prices.The Co-op did not open its firststore until amost one yearafter its formation and eventhen the Co-op sold only fruitsand vegetables along withcanned or dry goods. Over theyears the Co-op has greatly ex¬panded its selection of prod¬ucts as well as its membershipand has become an integralpart of the Hyde Park commu¬nity.Continued on page 26PHOTO By ara jelalianCo-op mombor addresses the audience at themembership meeting Sunday.

Alarge proportion of the audience ap¬peared to be Asian, yet a substantialnumber of non-Asian Americans parti¬cipated.The historical perspective beganWith an address by Political ScienceProfessor Bernard Silberman. His pre¬sentation emphasized that the attitudeswhich led to military aggression andmass executions during World War II,as well as the censorship debate thisyear, began to take shape in the 1860s.The main source which enabled Japanto become the most powerful Asianstate was the 1868 “Meiji Restoration,”which reinstituted “direct imperialsovereignty.” Its new leaders had ac¬cused their predecessors of servingtheir own needs at the expense of thepublic interest. As a result, they werefaced with the question of what deter¬mined the public good and how to satis¬fy it.They recognized that “an appro¬priate public policy was whatever ...would achieve the greatest sum of sat¬isfaction of the rational desires of indi¬viduals.” Nevertheless, they arrived ata utilitarian idea of public interest,which they felt was too important to beleft to the public..According to Silberman, their solu¬tion was “a notion of obligation cen¬tered on the emperor and the state,”which was “defined as a public good inand of itself ... Precisely because theemperor provided this public good,each individual was morally obligatedto consent to the state’s actions ... In¬deed, almost any form of private andsocial choice became a moral actionand thus subject to state determination... in other words, censorship in itsbroadcast and most inclusive form.” The consequences of this positionwere severe. During the 1920s and 30sany significant self-determination vir¬tually disappeared. While at the outsetthere must have been considerable pri¬vate resentment, Silberman said thatlong-term exposure to these harsh con¬ditions blurred distinctions between ac¬tions for the individual and the state.The state had become an end, not ameans for Japanese society. In part, itwas this ideology which allowed Japanto mobilize so successfully for war andcommit so many horrifying acts. Cen¬sorship during the postwar era, Wil-berman said, can only be seen as an at¬tempt to reaffirm the state as the mainpublic interest. Not only does it changethe understanding of the past per se,but in allowing the Ministry of Educa¬tion complete control over the contestof textbooks, it concedes that “the state has the right to make all choices, moralones, and thus to reduce us to nochoices at all.”Fred Chu, a graduate student in an¬thropology, presented a paper writtenby himself as well as two other Chinesescholars which summarized the Chin¬ese perspective on Japanese Imperial¬ism. The paper mentions the frequentlycited “Rape of Nanking,” which oc¬curred in 1937. That the Japanese Min¬istry of Education understates thenumber of Chinese Casualties with theword “many” of common knowledge.Later in the symposiu, Professor Po¬litical Science Tsou Tang remarkedthat the tragedy caused by America’satomic bomb at Heroshima could justas well hve been described as “thedeath of many Japanese as the result ofrepercussion and exposure to heat.” Inaddition, the Ministry seems to have ig¬ nored the official records of the Inter¬national Tribunal for the Far Eastwhich reveal that “estimates made at alater date indicate that the totalnumber of civilians and prisoners ofwar murdered in Nanking and its vicin¬ity during the first six weeks of the Jap¬anese occupation was over 200,000.”The writers of this paper comparedthese and other atrocities to the Holo¬caust, although on a smaller scale. TheJapanese Ministry of Education haschosen to omit most of these detailsfrom their textbooks. It is particularlyoffensive to the Chinese” because ofthe enormous importance accorded towritten text in the Chinese cultural tra¬dition.”The textbook issue itself, inspite ofofficial resolution, still remains a prob¬lem. Some Chinese feel that diplomaticreconciliation is inadequate to reduceany of the anxiety which the Chinesefeel about Japan. As Professor Tanglater added, China never received anyreparations in spite of its having beenthe first-ranking victim of Japaneseagression. The only consolation the gotwas an “expression of regret” duringPrime Minister Tanaka’s visit to Chinain 1972. A complete change of attitude,the Chu stated, is necessary. They be¬lieve that current protest efforts inJapan represent a meaningful begin¬ning for this process.Professor Tetsuo Najita, from U ofC’s department of Far Eastern Lan¬guage and Civilizations, began the sec¬ond part of the symposium which fo¬cused on cersorship in particular. Hisintroductory remarks parelleled Sil¬berman’s remarks as he acknowledge“a struggle over who should produce,organize, and manage knowledge forthe youth of Japan today and for theyouth of tomorrow.” Some believe thatthe Ministry of Education deserves thisauthority while others insist that thepublic at large has the right to it.Najita continued to say that concernover today’s youth in Japan is partlyContinued on page 26PHOTO BY BILL MUDGEPanelists at the symposium picutred from left to right are Fred Chu, NaokiSakai, Steve Platzer, Harry Harootunian, Tsou T.

I felt the in¬dignation rise in my gut. What’s thematter, New Republic? Aren’t we evenprestigious enough to get obnoxiousabout? I threw the magazine away indisgust.After all, no school has workedharder building up prestige. Thecranky old laureates, the angry gar¬goyles, the Gothic buildings about ascheery as a divorce hearing, the myste¬rious Latin phrases, the publishingprofs who lecture like dishrags; allthese are our sacrifices to that greatdeity, Prestige.Let's face it, it's no barrelof laughs being revered. Itmakes you feel kind ofdusty.But instead of prestige we seemstuck with reverence. “Revered in theAcademic World,” that’s us. Let’s faceit, it’s no barrel of laughs being re¬vered. It makes you feel kind of dusty.You don’t ask the people you revere toparties. You never invite them to thePub.Harvard, Yale and Stanford are likeCitizen Kane. Chicago is like Syber-berg’s Our Hitler.But let’s not sell ourselves short.After all, reverence is just prestigewith all the fun taken out. All the col¬lege guides say nice things about us.And our alumni are certainly distin¬guished. So to hell with those bleedingcoronary liberals at The New Republic.We’re up with the best of them.Seven weeks later, after giving thesereassurances an adequate gestationperiod, I re-examined that article inThe New Republic. The author, literarycritic Paul Fussel, argues that lackingother means of class distinction,America has imposed itself an en¬trenched class structure based solelyon the prestige of one’s alma mater.There exists an aristocracy, he ob¬serves, which people from mediocreuniversities cannot possibly enter, re¬gardless of merit. For them, the road tosuccess goes only halfway up.Isn’t that wonderful? You see, as Chi¬cago students we have automaticallybecome members of the elect. It’s fouryears of Chicago and then it’s “EastCoast Aristocracy, here I come!” Andno competition from the schlemiels atOhio State.I set back in my winged chair, lettingthe issue of The New Republic droponto my belly, my snifter of brandy inone hand, my cigar in the other, and Ibelch contentedly. Life isn’t so badafter all. Fussel recognizes that there’s nosuch thing as the “diploma elite” anymore. Now there’s the “elite diplomaelite.” Any hoi poloi can go to college;only the cream can go to the most se¬lective. He writes, “Having a degreefrom Amherst or Williams or Harvardor Yale (or Chicago, I mutter under mybreath) should never be confused withhaving one from Eastern KentuckyUniversity, or Hawaii Pacific College,or Arkansas State or Bob Jones.”And we shouldn’t be fooled by argu¬ments that college enrollment is rising.In reality, the same 13 percent ofAmerica is going to college as in thegood old days, only there are a lot morepeople going to pseudo-colleges' thatare really high schools for older peo¬ple.In their 1978 book, Social Standing inAmerica, Coleman and Rainwaterfound that going to a “good” college in¬creased one’s income by 52 percentwhile going to an “outstanding” college(that’s us) increased it by 84 percent(of course, they forgot to calculate thatthe increased income will be eaten upby tuition payments when our kidswant to go to the prestige schools aswell). Meanwhile, the people who wentto the vast majority of no-name col¬leges experienced no income boost atall.Paul Blumbeg in a book called In¬equality in an Age of Decline, publishedtwo years ago, summed it all up: “Theeducational system has been effective¬ly appropriated and transformed intoan instrument which tends to repro¬duce class structure and transmit in¬equality.” Thank heavens, I say. WhoBeing from Chicago amidstall those Ivy Leaguers is a bitlike being Pierre Trudeau at asummit conference of West¬ern military leaders but atleast you've got your foot inthe door.does Blumberg want running thecountry anyway? The Dallas Cowboyfans? As long as people like me have allthe power and the money, things mustbe working pretty well.Fussel also notices how seriously weadvertise our university affiliations.You never see a “Hyde Park Bank” ora “St. Vincent’s Episcopal Church”sticker on the rear window of any¬body’s car. And nobody who’s made itto Amherst makes a joke of the prac¬tice by putting a “Loop College”sticker back there. You might as wellaffix a sticker that says, “I’m stu¬pid.”Even non-academic institutions arequick to adopt our terminology.

The reaction halted, and anew era began.The work which began the new erahad started years before onchalkboards throughout the UnitedStates and Europe, but the actualdesign and construction had takenplace over a relatively short period oftime in the abandoned squash courtsunderneath the since torn down StaggField which at that time stood on EllisAve. between 56th and 57th Streets.Fermi and a team of graduatestudents began arriving in Chicago inApril of 1942 to test in practice thelong-held theory of a nuclear chainreaction.Many stories have been told sincethen of the famed “ManhattenProject” which would soon producethe world’s first nuclear weapons.Stories floated around about agathering of an elite group of only thenation’s top minds, working insecrecy so great that only the highestechelons of the government andmilitary knew of the work, and of allthe best resources of the nationimmediately given over to the project.But those months at Chicago wereonly a shadow of those greatlyexaggerated stories.While the men who designed andbuilt the first reactor here where atthe forefront of the field of nuclearphysics, most had just finished collegethemselves. Of the 50 witnesses Dec.2, more than half were under the ageof 30. Ages ranged from the50-year-old Compton to 17-year-oldStewart Allen Fox, who was too youngeven to serve in the Army. Many hadonly recently received a PhD, andsome were straight out of college.“It seemed great,” said HerbertAnderson, 26 years old at the time,and the head of the team of physicistswhich actually built the pile out ofblocks of graphite and the uranium.“You know a 26-year-old has a greatamount of ego.

They had helpfrom a number of craftsmen andcarpenters and a number of teenageboys from the poor Back of the Yardsneighborhood in the city. “Thegraphite machining produced blackgranite dust all over the place.” wroteone member of Zinn’s team, AlbertWattenberg, now a professor at theUniversity of Illinois. “We breathedit, slipped on it, and it oozed out of ourpores even after we washed andshowered.

PhysicistGeorge Weil returned to his positionon the floor of the squash court underthe west stands of the old Stagg Fieldwhere the huge pile of 400 tons ofblack graphite blocks stood. Enclosedinside were thousands of pellets ofuranium oxide, and dozens of rods ofcadium, which separated theuranium, and prevented this chainreaction from taking place. Soon, allbut one of the rods were removed.Upon Fermi’s instruction, Weil beganinching the last rod out of the pile,stopping at different settings. Otherstook measurements or watchedanxiously, as Fermi compared theactual readings with his previouslymade estimates using a small sliderule. They matched very well.Finally, shortly before 4 p.m.,Fermi told Weil to remove the rodanother 12 inches, and turned toUniversity professor Arthur Comptonstanding next to him and said, “Thisis going to do it. Now it will becomeself-sustaining.” The clattering of the •Gieger counters and other measuringdevices rose rapidly, and for the firsttime, continued at a feverish pace.After one last check of his slide rule,Fermi proudly announced, “Thereaction is self-sustaining.”Nobody among the group of 49 menand one woman cheered: they onlysmiled.

Enrico Fermiis on the far left of the front row.Most members of the project did noteven tell their families the nature ofthe work they were doing. EvenUniversity President Robert Hutchinswas not aware of the details of theproject. Compton, who was the officialhead of the project, would later write:The outcome of the experimentmight thus greatly affect thecity. As a responsible officer ofthe University of Chicago,according to every rule of.organizational protocol, I shouldhave taken the matter to mysuperior. But that would havebeen unfair. President Hutchinswas in no position to make anindependent judgment of thehazards involved. Based onconsiderations of theUniversity’s welfare, the onlyanswer could have been - No.And this answer would havebeen wrong. So I assumed theresponsibility myself.Still the gathering in Chicago ofsome of the top nuclear physicists,such as Fermi and Leo Szilard,suggested to those in the scientificcommunity familiary with this area of work what was probably taking placehere. Even scientists in the Germanscientific community, where similarwork was progressing, may havesuspected this too.“Americans are very bad atkeeping secrets,” said EugeneWigner, a European-born physicistfrom Princeton who worled withFermi here. “In Chicago, we receiveda telegram from an anti-Nazi Germanscientist, who had escaped toSwitzerland. It said ‘Hurry up, we areon track.’ The telegram wasaddressed to ‘The Uranium Project,The University of Chicago.’ ”While on campus, members ofFermi’s group kept to themselves,partly out of security reasons, butalso because they were each working90 hour weeks, and fewer and fewernon-project people remained on thecampus. Both professors and studentswere joining the armed forces, orwere teaching new recruits. EvenPresident Hutchins had registered forthe draft, though he never served,“this metallurgy project essentiallytook over the University,” saidAnderson. “Pretty soon, a fairfraction of the Quadrangle Club eachday was from the project.”When the West Stands, whichhoused locker rooms as well as thefamous squash courts, finally wastaken over by the project thatsummer, it was the last athleticfacility on campus other than IdaNoyes not used buy the military. Thearmy was using both Bartlett Gymand the Field House to train soldiers,but even the sports editor of theMaroon at that time endorsedsacrifices in the name of the wareffort. No record of campus commentcould be found for the falling of thesquash courts. Reaction was likelyThe now famous bottle of Chiantiwhich each member of the team signed.Wigner bought the Italian wine in Prince¬ton before coming to the U of C. University History——■— ■— " 1 1 bb————ear„very limited.Everyone working on the projectwas constantly aware of theimportance of the project to the wareffort. They were also aware of thedrastic human consequences theirwork would likely cause if successful.One of them, James Franck,circulated a petition, which mostproject members signed, urging thatthe first use of the atomic bomb be ademonstration for the hostile powersto view, without the taking of anyfurther human life. “Privately,amongst individuals, it (the use of thebomb) was very much a subject ofdiscussion,” said Wattenberg.But on that very cold Decemberday, the experiment and the test athand, not their broader implications,were on most of the project’smembers’ minds. “During theexperiment, we were more interestedin getting the job done,” saidAnderson. “Not because it wasimportant (to the war effort) butbecause it was something very The west stands of the old Stagg Field(above) under which the historic eventtook place. Pictured at left is the pile asit was reassembled at the Argonne Na¬tional Laboratory. It is built of layers ofgraphite alternating with graphite brickscontaining uranium units.interesting which was also importantas well. Here was a very nicecombination of all of the veryinteresting theory (of nuclearphysics.) There was a lot ofsatisfaction at each stage of theexperiment.And while all of the witnessesperformed different duties, those whohad participated in the project all feltequally involved.“I never thought I’d beremembered as the man who pulledout the last rod,” said Weil, who wasthe one who physically triggered thereaction that day. “I just considered Iwas part ovf the experiment. It was avery exciting assignment, but therewas never any rivalry, or feeling thatanyone was more important thananyone else in the group.” In fact,Weil couldn’t even follow theproceedings of the experiment as wellas those on the walkway above.When the reaction was finallycompleted, Wigner pulled out thenow-famous bottle of Chianti, whichhe had bought in Princeton monthsbefore (it was almost impossible tobuy the Italian wine at this point ofthe war). After it had been finished,the members of the team each signedthe wrappings on the bottle. Theirgoal had been met, with very few'surprises. In fact, many joked withWigner, saying they were moreimpressed by his foresight to buy theChianti than they were by any of theevents of this historic day....comes the dawn of the atomic age111 1 HR iiii*LOX AND BAGELBRUNCHThere will be a Brunch!!THANKSGIVING WEEKENDNovember 28,198211:00 A.M. -1:00 P.M.Last Brunch of QuarterDecember 5,1982fflUEL FOUNDATION - 5715 WOODLAWN AVENUEThe Chicago Maroon—Tuesday, November 23. 1982—7LL-OUTCOUPONPAGE COUPONA-ACTIVEBUSINESS MACHINES1633 E. 55th St.752-0541anytypewriterservice NEWS EMPORIUM5100 S.

Terrorism depends on televi¬sion. All acts of terrorism are designedto persuade by force, and to do this ef¬fectively you have to communicate to alarge group of people, and nothing cando that as effectively as television.Another offhand example — I’m deli¬berately choosing negative examples— would be the Tylenol poisonings. Ithas been argued that not only the origi¬nal incidents but the number of copy¬ings of that were the result of the the¬ater of television. What was it AndyWarhol said? We -live in a world inwhich absolutely everybody can beworld-famous for fifteen minutes.Maroon: So when you spoke of the so¬cial tool or weapon you meant the insti¬tution of television rather than the cul¬tural messages which people put intoit.Heston: I think rather than what is im¬plied or put into television, what is in¬ferred or taken out is important. I thinktelevision has muddied the democraticprocess. On the one hand it has allowedthe candidate direct access to the elec¬torate which is certainly a plus, on theother hand it has put an unfair pre¬mium on performance skills. I couldprobably be elected to some office be¬cause I communicate well. That soundslike a fatuously vain thing to say; I re¬ally don’t mean it that way. Almost anywell-known and reasonably verbal per¬former, or athlete, could be elected to'office and this is because of television.Even more than that, and I think thisis the main danger. I think possibly out¬side the president of the United States,the most powerful figure in Americanpolitics is the man who reads the sixo’clock news. And nobody gets to votefor him. Now I thought Walter Cronkiteis a marvelous fella’ and Dan Rather’snot that bad either. But nobody votedfor them. And that’s not fair. Nevermind fair, life isn’t fair. But that’s notthe idea that we set out with.Maroon: What about films that areovertly political — the China Syn¬drome, for example — do you thinkthey are good “persuaders”?Heston: I think more in television thanin theatrical films. I think you couldargue that the ethical positions andmoral choices of television sitcomshave a profound effect on the values ofour society. The premises or ethicalchoices of a television sitcom are notvery profound.Maroon: Could you be more specific?Heston: Let’s take something uponwhich most people could agree. Thatdrinking is OK and drunkenness isfunny. There is a great deal of drinkingon television sitcoms and whenever yousee a drunk he’s a funny drunk and Idon’t think anyone would really saythat that is an affirmative social value.Oddly enough, not only in theatricalfilms but in television, there is very lit¬tle smoking.Maroon: You’ve observed that to sur¬vive, films and television have to ap¬peal to an extremely wide audience.Does this mean they must reinforcepopular values rather than force peopleto question themselves?Heston: Film depends on the market¬place. I would hesitate to make a moresweeping conclusion than that. Therehave been examples of films that ex¬pressed apparently unpopular posi¬tions that have been successful. Yousee, a film appeals to an audience pri¬marily in other than intellectual terms.It may entertain you. It may make youlaugh. It may frighten you or exciteyou. It has to do all or one of the aboveto work. Now it can also carry an intel¬lectual appeal. Let’s take a film likeDeath Wish, which is conceded to workmarvelously and yet to those who stopto think about what it’s saying, you sayto yourself, “V , wait a minute. Thisis a guy going a «>und shooting people.”Yet you can’t help being for him. Filmsabout terrible people, like Jimmy Cag¬ney in White Heat — you’re a little bitfor him all the way through. A little likeRichard Third. So it’s possible to pleasean audience while seeming to saysomething that is unpopular but thatagain is part of films. You can admirefor the U-boat in Das Boot even though intellectually you say, “Hey, those arethe bad guys and we were the goodguys. If the German U-boat campaignhad succeeded where would we benow?” But again the film works for anaudience. I was kind of for these guys.They’re human beings after all. Nevermind the intellectual contact, if the au¬dience does riot respond to the film, it’sgone. But if the audience resonds, thenthere is a tremendous latitutde for allkinds of communication.For instance, the whole question ofcensorship is a very difficult one. Espe¬cially in this country because we don’tdo it here. Parenthetically, every otherfilmmaking-country censors its filmsbecause the government finances a lotof the films. This is not to say that thereare not certain kinds of things thatshould not be filmed. I don’t think afilm exploring the rape and mutilationof a six-year-old girl in graphic detailshould be made. Yet if somebody un¬dertook to make such a film in thiscountry it would be difficult to stopthem. And, philosophically, probablywrong to stop them. The theory goesthat you risk more in terms of firstamendment freedoms than by allowingsuch films to be made than in prevent¬ing them. And I suppose that is true.The filmmaker has a remarkablepower and given the extent of his influ¬ence and given the fact that in thiscountry he has the freedom to use thatinfluence more or less as he choosesputs a remarkable responsibility onhim. If you’re a poet and you want towrite a poem celebrating the mutila¬tion of a six-year-old girl, not manypeople are going to read it anyway. Re¬ally, it’s very small audience. If youwrite it in a sufficiently sophisticatedform, you’ve got an even smaller audi¬ence. If you write it in free verse, aneven smaller audience. The reach ofthe filmmaker is scary.Maroon: With your epics in the sixties,after the audience was entertained,and after they left the theater, what doyou think they came away with?Heston: Ben Hur is after all, just amelodrama of a horse race. It’s oftendescribed as one of my religious films.It’s not a religious film. Ben Hur is aspecifically non-religious character inall but the last three minutes of thefilm. It’s a rather thin, old-fashioned,melodramatic story. It is in no way aprofound movie. It has some commentto make about courage, endurance,friendship and revenge, but I thinkthat’s about the extent of it.El Cid is, though not as good a film, amore profound story. For one thing, itis about a real man. There really was aCid and he really did cut one of the larg¬est holes in the middle ages. To survivein human memory from the 11th centu¬ry indicates something extraordinary.It does say something about courage inadversity and about love of country. Hedid a great deal toward uniting Spain,which is a societal good.Maroon: When you’re playing thesegrand historical figures do you everA matter of tasteThe University of Chicago HillelFoundation will hold its 36th annual hu¬morous debate The Latke-HamentashSymposium. This much awaited eventwill be held tonight at 7:30 p.m., in theCloister Club of Ida Noyes Hall, 1212East 59th Street.For the 36th year, the artistic, histor¬ical, humanistic, medical, philosophi¬cal and psychiatric implications of the3500-year-old feud between these gas¬tronomic delicacies will be debated.This year’s participants are ProfessorRalph A. Austen, Dept, of History andthe College, director master of artsprogram in the social sciences, Dr.Susan Fisher, Department of Psychia¬try, Dr. Bernard Levin, Department ofMedicine, Professor Joel M. Snyder,Committee on Art and Design and the.College, and chairman of the Commit¬tee on General Studies.The Moderator of this 36th sympo- feel, as Flaubert and Patton and Napo-lean did, that you might have lived be¬fore?Heston: No. I don’t believe that. I’ll tellyou this: It can give you a profound un¬derstanding'of what they felt like toride through a battalion of armoredmen on a white horse, and get off andclimb the steps of a genuine medievalwalled city and stand in a tower andhear three thousand people shout “Cid!Cid! Cid!” You know what it’s like toconquer a city. To be on a scaffoldingfour feet below the Sistine ceiling withthe paint dripping in your beard is toknow more than most people do aboutwhat it was like for Michelangelo to dothat for four years.PHOTO BY AKA JELALIANCharleton HestonMaroon: You once said, “Heming¬way blew his brains out because he rea¬lized that for him there were no morechances to try for perfection.” Thatseems a very romantic way to look atit. Do you think portraying these greatmen has given you a more heroic out¬look?Heston: You mean that they rubbed offon me? I think I know a little bit moreabout the human animal and why weare what we are and what has broughtus here than I would have if I hadn'tread all about these guys.Maroon: But you’ve never sat downand said to yourself, “Now what wouldMichelangelo do in this position?”Heston: No. It’s fair enough to say thatyou can’t do the first shot of Moses as Idid of walking barefoot down MountSinai and feel quite the same as you didwhen you went up.

You’realmost the first one that’s ever ex¬plored, in talking about this questionwith me, the difference between agreat leader and a great man. Obvious¬ly, they can co-exist, but they’re notmutually exclusive. Michelangelo wasa great man but he was an appallinghuman being. He was contentious,petty, bad-tempered, absolutely disin¬terested in any social contact whatev¬er. He was obsessed with carving mar¬ble. Now the fact that he could carvemarble better than anyone who everlived means that that was probably thebest idea for him. But he certainly wasnot a great leader. Conversely, Pattonwas a great leader but not a greatman.I think one of the reasons we tend tobe skeptical of extra-ordinary individu¬als in our time is that there don’t hap¬pen to be any of them around. I meanthe really extraordinary man. And wedon’t have any on the horizon. I meanlike Cid, like Jefferson, like Michelan¬gelo. And I think you’d have to includesomebody like Richelieu, who is gener¬ally concieved because he is the villainin the most widely-read book even pub¬lished, Dumas’ novel. In fact, he wasthe only one in the french governmentat the time with any brains. Richelieudeserves credit for coming close tocreating France as a modern nation.He was obsessed. But a great man’s ob¬session tends to be outer directed.Maroon: It sounds like you’re sayingthat a crisis doesn’t create a leader.Heston: Yes. That I agree with. I thinkit is to believe in magic to say that acrisis will some how thrust out of thecommon herd of us an individual who isequipped to deal with the crisis. Wouldthat God were so kind to us.Maroon: To bring this back to somekind of full circle, would you say that afilm that garners 100 million viewers ismore powerful than an article directedto the elite few?Heston: Sure. It may be a much moresimplistic message. I think its almostunarguable in not only the audience itreaches — and maybe this is somethingthat I didn’t make clear before and thatI believe to be true — the way in whichfilm persuades is not intellectual. It hasa peculiar power because it engagesour emotions.Heston speaksActor Charlton Heston will showscenes from his movies and discussfilm, drama, and politics today at 3:30p.m. in the Law School Auditorium.1111 E. 60th St. The event is open to thepublic.

It'sas if all of her stories were writtenfrom the point of view of some half-interested bystander. Somethingabout her characters doesn't seemquite real—their emotions are so sti¬fled, their pain, tragedy and humorare all described in the same blasemanner, with such an evenness oftone, that it's difficult to muster upany true compassion for them. Theirproblems become mundane and triv¬ial. Life just isn't that bad, one feelslike shouting at them.Ann Beattie's new collection ofshort stories, The Burning House, isactually more diverse than her earli¬er collections (Distortions (1976) andSecrets and Surprises (1978); yet it'snot diverse enough. All of the charac¬ters and stories blend together, be¬coming indistinguishable from oneanother after awhile. Most of thecharacters live in the same place(New York, Connecticut, Vermont),do the same thing, sometimes evenhave the same names (in this volumealone there are three Nicks, threeAndys, and two Rays). More thananything, their lives are marked bythe same sense of apathy and de¬spair. Noone in Beattieland is happy.Everyone feels alienated from theirwork, families, lovers. They keepsearching for salvation but neverfind it. "I float. . . knowing that de¬sire can be more overwhelming thanlove—the desire, for one brief mo¬ment, simply to get off the earth",states one character.Even the titles of the stories reflectthis sense of aimless drifting that allof the characters share. "Afloat","Waiting", "Gravity", "Learning toFall", and "Running Dreams" arejust a few. The one story with even asomewhat optimistic title, "Happy",ends on a cynical note—a husband,after bringing home flowers to hiswife, covers her ears and keeps re¬peating, "Say it... say 'I have a nicelife'Taken by itself, each story in TheBurning House is enjoyable and in¬teresting, like a small gem; but awhole collection of them seems fairlypointless and a little overwhelming.After reading a few one is overcomeby an extreme feeling of lethargy.These stories are admittedly moreaccomplished than Beattie's earlierones. Her characters are faced withmore serious crises and their dailylives entail more than getting stonedto Miles Davis. On the other hand,The Burning House represents a re¬gression from Beatties last novel,Falling in Place (1980); althoughseriously flawed, Falling in Place isone of the most outstanding novelswritten in the past several years.The Burning House frustrates mebecause I think that Ann Beattie isimmensely talented; her writingoften displays such subtlety and per¬ception. This is particularly evidentin Falling In Place, and is occasion¬ally apparent here. If only she wouldwrite something of greater magni¬tude, that made full use of these tal¬ents.Margaret Atwood's new bookDancing Girls, is a collection of four¬teen stories written between 1971 and1977. Although the stories in this vol¬ume vary greatly in scope, there isan underlying similarity betweenthem; they are all expressions of thecomplexities of human relationships,particularly between men andwomen. What makes this collectionso interesting is that it parallelsAtwood's development as a novelist.By reading her works one can see aclear progression in the complexityof male characters and in her outlookin male-female relations.The Edible Woman (1969),Atwood's first novel, ends with the fe¬male protagonist devouring a cakeshe has baked in the shape of herbody, signifying a rejection of herfemimmty after she has come to her senses and discarded her sexistfiance. Lady Oracle (1976), while lessovertly bitter and cynical, containsseveral undeveloped male charac¬ters that are either stable (but weakand dull) or unstable (but thrillinglycrazy and exciting). It is not untilLife Before Man (1979), her finestnovel, that Atwood offers what, Ithink, is one of the most sophisticatedand insightful studies of male-female relations written by anywoman novelist. Told from three con¬tinually interchanging points of view(a woman, her husband, his lover),the novel describes an intense emo¬tional triangle that dismisses con¬ventional notions of wives, unfaithfulhusbands, and mistresses as it bares,in an almost too-revealing way, therelations between women and menand among women themselves. Thedifferences between women and menexpressed in Life Before Man are notstereotypical ones, but rather com¬plex and honest ones. Atwood doesn'tblame anyone in this book—just thepowerful demands and constraintsplaced on men and women by soci¬ety.Dancing Girls reflects the transi¬tions that have occurred in MargaretAtwood's writing. The stories thatare least successful are also the ear¬liest and most poorly written ones;and they are stories that describe un¬idimensional relationships betweenselfish, uncaring men and resultant-ly miserable women. There are onlya few examples of these, however;most of the stories in Dancing Girlsare very good and a few are superb."The Man From Mars" is a beauti¬ful story about the pursuit of a lonely,unpopular girl by a short, emaciated,bespectacled foreign student. Thisstory is a fine example of Atwood'stalent for mixing tenderness andhumor.No one had ever found Christinemysterious before... Now, how¬ever, there )was somethingabout her that could not be ex¬plained. A man was chasingher, a peculiar sort of man,granted, but still a man, and hewas without doubt attracted toher, he couldn't leave her alone.Other men examined her moreclosely than they ever had, ap¬praising her, trying to find outwhat it was those twitching, be¬spectacled eyes saw in her. . . Her opaque, dumpling face, hersolid, bearshaped body becamefor them parts of a riddle no onecould solve. In the bathtub sheno longer imagined she was adolphin; instead she imaginedshe was an illusive water nixie,or sometimes, in moments ofaudacity, Marilyn Monroe.Equally touching and amusing is hermother's excitement over her daugh¬ter's new-found popularity, her ea¬gerness to bring the two 'misfits' to¬gether, and her unwillingness tobelieve that the young man meansChristine any harm. "Her mother vo¬lunteered that the thing about peoplefrom another culture was that youcould never tell whether they wereinsane or not because their wayswere so different.""Betty" is a story of a young girl'sfascination with the charming hus¬band of the domesticated womanwho lives next door. As the girl getsolder, the husband leaves his wife foranother woman and the girl's percep¬tions change. "As I passed beyondthe age of melodrama I came to seethat. . . the Freds of this world makethemselves explicit by what they doand choose. Fred. . . no longer in¬trigues me. It is the Bettys who aremysterious.""Hair Jewelry" is the story about aromantic student who lives out herfantasies in used clothing stores andhas an unsuccessful love affair withan equally romantic graduate stu¬dent in literature.Between my fits of sleep Ithought about you, rehearsingour future which I knew wouldbe brief. . . I dwelt on our part¬ing, which I visualized as sad,tender, inevitable and final. Irehearsed it in every conceiv¬able location: doorways,ferry-boat docks, train, planeand subway stations, parkbenches. We would look at eachother, we would know. . . thenyou would turn a corner and belost forever. I would be wearinga trench coat, not yet pur¬chased, though I had seen thekind of thing I wanted in Fi-lene's Basement the previousautumn.ThPir relationship ends before it everreally begins; by the end of the story the narrator has become a professor,gotten married, and discarded herold clothes—along with her romanti¬cism—for a "moderately chic collec¬tion of pantsuits and brisk dresses".Nevertheless she cannot forget abouthim.Because you had not left in theproper way it seemed as thoughyou had never left at all. Youhung around like miasma or thesmell of mice, waiting to deflatemy attempts at optimism withyour own jaundiced view of mybehavior. . . I could see you inyour dingy room, surrounded byempty sardine tins and lint-cov¬ered socks, living on nothing butyour derision and your refusalto sell out, as I was so palpablydoing."The stories in Dancing Girls aremore daring and imaginative, both intheir use of language and subjectmatter, than any of MargaretAtwood's novels. What makes Danc¬ing Girls so much more successfulthan The Burning House is Atwood'skeen understanding of the charactersshe writes about. Whether she is de¬scribing the conflicts of an insecureteenage boy, a bored travel critic, ora woman who feels ambivalent aboutthe imminent birth of her child,Atwood never fails to express amaz¬ing insight and compassion. By ack¬nowledging the importance of peo¬ple's inner lives, Atwood revealsgreater truths than Beattie, who, inher efforts to simulate the objectiveexperiences of life, misses an essen¬tial part of it. Most of Atwood's char¬acters lead existences that are objec-tively more miserable thanBeattie's—but they still exhibit a des¬perate optimism towards life thatBeattie's characters do not, and thismakes them seem all the more real¬istic. One can sympathize and iden¬tify with Atwood's characters, nomatter how bizarre they may be, butcan only observe from a distance thepeople that inhabit Beattie's stories,even though they are more likely toresemble characters from one's ownlife.Ann Beattie seems bound by herown limitations, while the freedomMargaret Atwood allows herself totake leadb her to produce work ofgreater depth and perception.C hicaqoRditical UnionPKesa/rs}?£SOL V£D' TMstricterhandgun control kusare necessary,ounCONTROLDEBATE£*ve ParsonsRtai««a.l P'icld RepresentativeNational Rifle Aifoo«4i*n C*+ky Zar’i/HetHPrtiii«n4 Xlltn.i* C'rHitmPar C•*'+*■• IwV\€H owhere £por uAom*?Sponsored b 7:30 CJedruschyjDecJLSo cia / Sciences /«W-U/M /jre Uricomt1 ‘ ~The UofC Debate Societyfrom TheUniversity of ChicagoOffice ofContinuing Education753-31371307 Earl 60th StreetChicago, Illinois 60637NNOUNCING!THE WAY TO FULFILLTHE LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTFOR YOUR GRADUATE DEGREEREADING FRENCHThis non-credit course, French 106, will prepare you to take the UCForeign language reading examination.

I'vecome to expect very little frommusicals, because in being a hy¬brid of acting, singing and danc¬ing, they usually compromise allthree. At best, a musical ticklesmy senses enough to raise goose-bumps on my arms; StreetDreams almost made me agoose. The actors, all profession¬als with impressive credits, gavean impressionable performance— especially the great, wrench¬ing voice of Delores Hall. But as adrama of ghetto life, the producti¬on ultimately fails. The charac¬ters are merely stereotypes —the prostitute, the pusher, and thedumped-on pregnant woman —each with a heart of gold. What isthis show saying? That prostitu¬tion and drug escapism are re¬grettable, or that they are an in¬evitable party of city life, andshould therefore be celebrated?Unfortunately, we've heard theselife stories before, and the show¬biz glamorization keeps the audi¬ence even further from the issueswhich remain unresolved.Through Nov 28 at the ApolloTheatre Center, 2540 N.

Ave.DANCECinderella The Chicago City Bal¬let's production of Cinderella is abeautifully-conceived celebrationof the art of storytelling. It is astory told in balletic movements,without words and without a sin¬gle visible narrator, a make-believe story of incredible hap¬penings with the all-importanthappy ending. It is a beautiful,captivating production whichholds our attention by lavishly in¬dulging our imagination.One of the things that makesstories a wonderful art form, isthat they must be told in order toexist. If a story exists, then sodoes a storyteller and a listeningaudience. There is somethingmarvelously invigorating aboutthe activity of telling or listeningto a story. A storyteller alwaysspeaks to someone, a listeneralways listens to someone, neverto no one. The second party, — inone case the listener, in the other— the teller, is never incidental,even if unidentifiable: he or she isthe reason for the activity. Whatis actually told, the happenings orthoughts which are actually related, are important of course,but mostly because they werechosen to be told, and not in them¬selves. The storyteller's story isimportant because it is some¬thing he or she wants to tell otherpeople. If the story is cut off ei¬ther from the listener or from thestoryteller, its meaning will be¬come misconstrued, its valuemisplaced. In the activity ofstorytelling we are affirming theconnection between people.Cinderella is a story and it isalso a fairy tale. A lot of super¬natural beings take part in thenarrative: a fairy god mother,and a whole Enchanted Forest-full of animated insects and flow¬ers. The events that take placeare obviously improbable: Thestoryteller cannot be expectingthe listeners to believe that theevents did occur, or even thatthey might. But certainly wedon't consider the teller a lying ordeceitful person. Maybe wewould not want to talk about thetruth or falsity of the story, be¬cause if we did we would have toadmit that we could not believe inthe possibility of its events. Butperhaps we would want to saythat we believed in the story, andthat this is a very ditferent thingfrom believing a story.Fairy tales are said to be typically of folk origin, and, in a negative sense, are often associatedwith superstition. Folk art, moreover, is often distinguished fromacademic or self-conscious expression. Contrast this with thehistorical fact that people havebeen telling and listening to thestory of Cinderella since earlycontinued on page 4THE GREY CITY JOURNAL—TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1982—3212019181716151413121110987654321continued from page 3times, and we may wonder why itcontinues to hold our attention,especially if it does so withoutbeing "conscious" of its ownform.It seems a bit ironic that a bal¬letic telling of a fairy tale couldbe at all successful. Ballet is al¬most a perfectly "self-conscious"art form. It is dance, yes, whichmeans that it in some sensederives from our bodies' naturalinclination/propensity for move¬ment. But it is so unabashedly"contrived": a dancer's turn-out— the rotating of the leg in thehip-socket so that the feet (heelsin) form as close to an 180° angleas possible, perhaps the most fundamental and characteristictenet of balletic movement —must be forced, or imposed on thebody through laborious trainingbeginning at an early age. Balletis a most severe discipline, onboth the dancer's body and lifes¬tyle.All constraints and tensions inherent in the medium of balletwork to free our imagination forthe enjoyment of Cinderella as afairy tale. The balletic idea isabove nature; just as fairy talescross the boundaries of thisworld, and enter the next, so thepositions and movements of bal¬let stretch the capacity of thehuman body. In Cinderella, themedium of ballet supports the il¬lusions fabricated by the fairy¬tale narrative with contrived,idealized movement. It is the dis¬tance between our real world andthese illusions which holds us, en¬chanted. It is this release fromour everyday world for which wefeel indebted to the storyteller.Cinderella is not about dance,or about the character of a mis¬treated cinder-girl. It is about afantasy world created by thedancers as storyteller, a gift ofsorts for the audience as listener.It is an unreal world, and weknow it, and rather than distract¬ing us, this knowledge makes usall the more grateful and appre¬ciative.At the Auditorium Theatre thisweekend.

We argued strategy and conjec¬tured about our chances for 6 uncertainweeks. Sort of incredible — one afternoonwe type up a calendar. Two hours later thefinance committee is looking it over.They're enthusiastic, more than enthusias¬tic; they're making friendly suggestionsabout publicity. The next morning they callto say we're getting the money we wanted,and more if we need it. Idea/conjecture be¬comes reality. Shit, we're already behindschedule which was a dream scheme 12hours before. There's so much to be done. Itisn't until a day later that we begin to argueabout a name for this idea-become-organi-zation. We agree on Concrete Gothic Thea-tersince it echoes with the air of respectabil¬ity.Not that one of us hadn't been schemingsince last year about all this. He certainlyhad. He used to tell me he'd like to take overthe last gangrenous appendage of adminis¬tration — sponsored theater, make studenttheater realize its potential, make it becomeas vital as it once was. I said I was an organ¬izer, a trouble-shooter. He showed me whothe organizer was. I remember looking athis face a week and a half ago in a meetingwhile he answered yet another skepticalquestion about Court Studio's operation. He_wasn't stylish, no indeed, but he was verycompetent. It dawned on me that he'd fig¬ured out an awful lot about how this monsterwas going to work and about what the con¬straints were, and that he'd rememberedevery detail. Me an organizer indeed — herewas the real one. That fellow was Diamond— that's his name no kidding. He'd directeda one act last year and left the publicity upto his financial backers and sponsor. Theytold him it would be taken care of. He believed them and went ahead with the busi¬ness of making the play affecting and believable. The posters were xerox jobs, 8x11with tiny ineffectual graphics. Nobodymuch showed up to the show. It was horriblydisappointing, though everybody tried tokeep his chin up. Diamond decided it wasn'tworth directing anymore plays under Court BUILDINGStudio unless he and his crew had completecontrol of every aspect of the production.That’s is how he first got the idea into hishead. That was last year.He came back this fall looking for poten¬tial directors. We thought we'd be directing.Diamond said he hoped we might be produc¬ing. He sprang a take-over plan on us. It wasah very exciting, and even more puzzling.Soon after we proposed all sorts of wonder¬ful overhaul ideas to Court. But power isn'tsomething people are eager to spreadaround. They weren't interested in being re¬vitalized. It seemed time to do it on ourown.Thanks to Drama Club, our Siamese twin,to whom we are, for the moment, attachedat the kidney, we were able to introduce our¬selves gracefully to the SG Finance commit¬tee. And that's the story of how this all gotstarted. Where it ends up is something onlythe coming months can answer — TimMunnby Warren SandbergYes!, Yet another student organization is THEATERcoalescing on campus and they have got bigplans. Even as this article is being com¬posed, the Concrete Gothic Theater is form¬ing in association with the U. of C. DramaClub. Funding for two productions duringwinter quarter has been obtained from Stu¬dent Government and tryouts for the firstproduction are set for December 4 and 5.The search is now on by the currentmembers for talent in acting, design, prod¬uction staff, and directing.Concrete Gothic Theater was founded as aresponse to the lack of nonmusical studenttheatre on campus. Presently its ambitionsextend only to four one act plays, two perproduction during winter quarter. However,depending on the rate of student responsethe group intends to expand rapidly into fulllength big budget productions, perhaps asearly as spring, 1983. The works performedare chosen exclusively by the directors, (aposition open to all who feel qualified) andthus span the full spectrum of probabilities,from big name modern playwrights to bigname ancient playwrights, clear throughbig name playwrights from times in be¬tween, and particularly big names about campus, like student playwrights!Four one acts including two student workshave already been selected for the winterseason, but the number could easily be ex¬panded to six, provided that the talent andinterest materialize. The productions will bestaged in the Knapp Theatre located on thefirst floor of the Reynolds Club. The use ofthis facility was kindly provided by CourtTheatre.Concrete Gothic Theater hopes to involvethe entire University community in its ac¬tivities and to draw on that community forsupport. Its members believe that theatre isa form of expression which should be madeavailable to students at this university bothas observers and participants. However, aswith most new organizations, ConcreteGothicTheater has a few obstacles to sur¬mount before its continued existence can beassured. Lack of funds and lack of student-power are obvious examples. The fundingcrisis was eased by a recent SGFC decisionto provide $350, but the group needs to raiseenough money to double that figure in orderto cover royalties and begin plans for thespring season. Concrete Gothic Theater iscurrently accepting any help, in any formoffered, from any source it can find as itseeks to establish itself as a permanent stu¬dent organization.The group holds weekly meetings on Mon¬days at 7 p.m. in the Reynolds Club NorthLounge. Also, interested individuals maycontact Steven Diamond at 363-5185. or War¬ren Sandberg at 538 2141. He can provide in¬formation about upcoming tryouts, oppor¬tunities for positions on the production staffand directing opportunities for the remain¬ing two slots in the winter season as well asthe spring season. For the Dec. 4, 5 tryouts,candidates are not asked to prepare an audi¬tion. Instead, they will be asked to readfrom a piece selected by the directors. Theinitial tryout will take place on Dec. 4 andcallbacks will take place on Dec. 5. Techni¬cal and production staffs are not asked totry out. Anyone interested in joining Con¬crete Gothic Theater should try to attendMonday's meeting, contact Steve Diamond,or of course, come to tryouts.^—TUESDAY.

It all started at the Evan¬ston Free School, in hippie-ish '72. I'd neverhave even heard of Maoism if it hadn't beenfor a new teacher at the Free School, Simon.I was at the piano as usual when Simon ap¬proached me. The Free School really didmean complete academic freedom for stu¬dents, and I'd decided (at age 13) to eschewthe whole idea of going to classes, and spentmy time instead smoking my mother's Vir¬ginia Slims, eating Hostess Cupcakes, andthumping out songs on the piano like theEverly Brothers' "Dream, Dream, Dream"and my own three-chord arrangement ofBrecht's "Urga, Urga" from The Mother.My aloofness from classes was not somebreezy disdain for the Free School's curricu¬lum — more, it was just I was plain shy. TheFree School was informal and sociable, likea big party, and getting into classes meantbefriending people (scary groups of olderpeople). No one eased my embarrassmentby simply enrolling me.But now Simon enrolled me — recruitedme, really. Simon had long SDS-lookingbangs which swept to the right over the topsof his glasses, a big goofy grin, and a jockyback-slapping friendliness (he'd been atrack star as an undergraduate at North¬western). To tell the truth, I can't re¬member exactly what I thought of Simonour first meeting, but right after that an-,other teacher, a woman, told me, "I under¬stand why Simon's so popular with stu¬dents: he's got looks, brains, and loads ofcharisma" — and I felt suddenly very proudand impressed with Simon.Simon's class (I think it was called "U.S.Imperialism") met late in the morning.Simon would come loping into the room (hewas lanky — almost 6'4" — and wore com¬bat boots) just hitch-hiked in from Roger'sPark, his neck raw and aflame from shav¬ing, his army coat stuffed with leaflets andlittle Red Books.In retrospect I can't remember my con¬version to Maoism taking any time. Itseemed self-evident (now that Simon point¬ed it out to us) that the U.S. exploited thethird world. After all, we Americans hadthese large houses and all this idle time tomasturbate or listen to Rod Stewart,parents whose collective wealth could fundthis Free School, and of course it followedthat all this luxury had to come at the ex¬pense of someone, like South Americans, oreven the Mexicans in our own country, likethe farm workers, who didn't even havebathrooms out in the lettuce fields.There were other reasons why Maoismwas such a natural for me. It was anotherway to be an outcast — or rather, an im¬provement on my already freaky image —another irksome accessory to go along withmy long greasy hair. Maoism was a newperspective to sneer at the world from (in¬stead of hating Jewel Food Stores for theirsmug ridiculous numbered aisles and bar¬gains and Muzak, for instance, I now de¬spised Jewel for selling non-union lettuceand Gallo wine). And so Maoism was not somuch a complete conversion for me as itwas a simple addition to my interests indrugs, chess, making bread and movies,skinny-dipping, dreams, being a lyricalhobo, and of course sounding exactly likeBob Dylan.The writer Guy Davenport remarks some¬where that kids have a bafflingly fragment¬ed way of viewing their own personalities:they have the strange habit of looking at thedifferent times and places in their day-to-day living as opportunities to be differentpeople. There's no adult urge to unify one'scharacter, to be consistent. Only at 13,maybe, could all these contradictory lean¬ings in me co-exist so peacefully in differentcorners of my mind.It all proceeded with such smooth simulta¬neousness: picketing Jewel; skinny-dippingin the backyard pool (in the light of Japa¬nese lanterns strung through trees) of aFree School friend whose house (a kind ofcommune) I slept over at for weeks at atime; sitting up in bean bag chairs all nightgetting stoned in Dream Class (which was infact so interesting to be awake in that I can'tremember any of us actually going to sleep,much less dreaming); getting arrested atthe sit-in outside the Federal Building pro¬testing the invasion of Cambodia and feelingscared to be thrown in a paddy wagon andfingerprinted (but proud and full of a mili¬tant's braggadocio later, freed, with myfriends); getting caught after curfew by acop who frisked me and (to my concealeddelight) found and confiscated my little RedBook; trying (with fitful inspiration) tocompose an opera (Son of Sinatra) on thepiano without knowing how to read a note ofmusic; going on a Free School camping tripto the Smoky Mountains and seeing for thefirst time (in a small tent) a girl my age inher underpants (flowered); drinking a six-pack all by myself and playing guitar till dawn with an older red headed boy in thereek of his "natural" body odor (he had atiny airless room in the commune).More and more of my time at schoolseemed to be spent trying to raise the politi¬cal consciousness of "liberal" classmates(liberal was now a pejorative term for me,evocative of a certain rosy middle-class out¬look which ignored the violent realities ofclass struggle: an outlook which had aneasy going (and incorrect) optimism aboutworking within the capitalist system). Rais¬ing the consciousness of my parents, I haveto admit, was my pet project.And yet (I couldn't understand it) my fa¬ther didn't seem at all unsettled byMaoism's stern and inescapable truths. Ona purely personal level I felt very hurt Dadremained so unruffled. I liked to think ofmyself as having acquired a dangerouspower — I wanted to be a terror at the fami¬ly dinner table, someone to fear...and re¬spect. Though I had a lot to learn (I neverdid understand what "dialectical material¬ism" meant) I believed I had a feeling forMaoism's essential no-nonsense spirit.I kept after Dad everywhere. In the car,on the way to the dentist's or the zoo. I'd sayto him: "You see, Dad, the reason we havecars and stuff is 'cause of imperialism.We're exploiting the third world, Dad, evenEngland. If everybody got their fair sharefor what they really worked for, well then,well maybe we'd all just have bicycles orsomething. 'Cause you see, Dad, in the Peo¬ple's Republic everybody has bicycles...andnobody steals 'em — even in the publicparks when they leave 'em unlocked. It's ob¬viously because communism works and peo¬ple are satisfied, Dad...." Dad always lis¬tened patiently to my diatribes, but I almostwished he'd interrupt me, if only because it would mean I'd succeeded in disturbing himwith my revolutionary ideas (which after allcondemned his whole way of living, thepines on his suburban front lawn, the suspi¬cious surplus of cash left to him each yearfrom his professional salary which allowedhim to take decadent vacations to the Baha¬mas). It was really beyond me why Daddidn't feel threatened by the cocked gun ofmy ideology.But perhaps Dad would have to hear itfrom Simon himself to be persuaded. Simonhad a way of making Maoism seem not onlyincontestable, but, well, romantic. Aftergraduating from Northwestern, Simonchucked away a whole life of big easy bucksin his father's firm (his father was an En¬glish born industrialist). Instead, Simonhitched down to Mexico where he slept onroofs and found a kind of Tolstoyan biissworking out in the fields in the saintly sweat¬iness of strong sun, "at sundown everyonewent swimming in the mud hole — women,men, little children — all of us naked andbrown and washing ourselves clean for sup¬per and hot cooked beans, wine, no one up¬tight about being naked, big friendly firescrackling up after dark for singing anddancing and story telling...."Perhaps working with "the people" wasromantic for Simon because of the sheermagnitude of his renunciation: he was like aprince who throws away his crown and cast¬le for the honest joys of living with a lovingbeggarly family in a dirt-floored cottage.But unlike Simon, the rest of us in U.S. Im¬perialism class were merely middle-class.This turned out to be not nearly so romantic.Our sacrifice to the Cause was much moremodest — and less noble. And there wassomething else I had trouble swallowing: I,with a middle-class childhood under my belt, was doomed to remain middle-class forthe rest of my life (in mind if not in pocket-book). This bit of news Simon dropped on usone day horrified me. I had always assumedthat l (with dedication and some second¬hand clothes, along with a certain number ofmiles racked up kicking through sidewalksof blowing garbage) could eventually gradu¬ate to the ranks of the poor. Now Simon wastrying to tell me the best I could hope forwas a life in limbo, a grim half-life to bespent alienated from both the middle-classI'd repudiated and the worthy enviable pro¬letariat I could never join (no matter howoften I might rub shoulders with them in thefactory locker room). I could take my lunchbucket to the plant for years and never beviewed as genuinely oppressed.I'd been born tainted. I could never neverever become working-class. My decadentparents had seen to that, forfeiting forevermy chance for glory in the coming revolu¬tion. And the tragic sense of losing out I feltabout all this was almost Christian — it feltlike inheriting sin. My whole soul balked atsuch a static disappointing scheme ofthings: my style was being cramped by a li¬miting state of affairs as exasperating toambition as the Indian caste system. Icouldn't stop clinging to my beliefs in meta¬morphosis, in the miraculous range ofhuman possibility, in the power of a singleecstatic will.There were other pesky consequences tobeing a middle-class Maoist. Now the FreeSchool itself had come under Simon's fire.Simon urged us more and more as the yearwent on to return to public school to "workfrom within the system." The Free School(he now felt sure) was an escape, a uselessbackwater. Simon himself planned to workin a steel mill in Gary, Indiana.It bugged me Simon expected such Spar¬tan devotion from me when I'd never reallyhad any time to sow my decadent oats.Simon freely admitted he'd been a conventional sexist hell-raiser in college, and I almost smelled a kind of disguised pridewhenever I heard him chastise himself for"treating women like cattle" when he wasan undergraduate. Now I was being asked tomartyr my life to Maoism without havinglarked through high school, without havingreally messed around at all. When I thoughtabout this, it seemed like I was taking holyorders without having had even one briefreckless love affair.But actually, I didn't think about this allthat much. Away from U.S. Imperialismclass (thanks to my childish knack for mul¬tiple personalities) my other lives continuedto flourish. I wrote songs in the attic aboutmy longings for "dark December days" andthe thrilling loneliness of the first snow ofthe year. I collaborated on a horrible moviewith one spectacular sequence involving adummie hurled down from a high pedestri¬an bridge into the sewage canal below. Igave myself a very poor early-Beatle hair¬cut. Each night after midnight my friendsand I did what we could to short-circuit theestablishment by smashing lightbulbs fromCTA el stations (this social activism wasonly a pretext, I think, for the pure charge ofadrenalin we got exploding those bulbs likebombs behind us on the cement stairwayswe "hauled ass" away from).For all I know the air of benevolent apathyprevailing among my various lives mightnever have been disturbed if it hadn't beenfor that week-end at Simon's father'scountry estate.It was strange to be on vacation withSimon, to be lounging nearly naked with himon the hard-packed sand by the lake. It wasthe Small talk that ruined everything, we'dnever chatted before, never conducted any¬thing more complicated between us than theeasy impersonality of political discussion. Iforgot myself, or rather, remembered myother selves. With the absent-mindedness ofa finger furrowing circles in the damp sand,I told Simon I wanted to waste away asskinny as Dylan and have a dirty practicallyempty refrigerator with all kinds of thingsgrowing in it.Ferocious moral outrage crunched myfingers together in spasms of pain, andSimon kept wringing and wringing my handlike that while his words lunged violently atme like his face right up against mine:"What's with you, that's sick, that's makingpeople take care of you! Do you want to be aburden on everyone, or do you want to beuseful?"I didn't really know what I wanted untilthe week-end was over and I was back homealone in the attic. There I realized that Iwanted interests humble enough to keep tothemselves and not try to encroach on otherwhims I might be entertaining. And I rea¬lized that Maoism was not merely a nui¬sance — it had become a jealous lover. Itwanted all of me, the anarchy of my moods,my secrets, my vagrant curiosity.In this state of mind it could have beenanything which persuaded me once and forall Maoism just wasn't for me. It turned outto be a gay literary New Yorker who saidsimply: "Darling, the thing about Maoismwhich really galls is it's just so...so ghastlyboring!"USUAL PLACE; UNUSUAL TIME: SAT 11/27 10 PMNEXT BRUNCH: SUNDAY, 1/1/83THE GREY CITY JOURNAL—TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1982—7rh.cHAPPY THANKSGIVING FROMALL OF US AT MR.

And, in an idealistic, although ar¬guably unproductive and perhaps intellec¬tually vacant way, rock and roll is deliver¬ing. Economic oppression and politicalinjustice on both national and internationallevels are the explicit themes of a surpris¬ingly large number of new albums. Yet, thetangible political results of combining rockmusic and ideology remain in doubt. Afterall, do teenyboppers request "Rock the Cas-bah" because they empathize with the polit¬ically oppressed citizens of Iran, or do theyjust want to dance? —Bruce King'• '■■■ *'■.Heavy Manners enterprisingly bill them¬selves as "America's Number One SkaBand" — an advertising slogan which tes¬tifies both to the scarcity of American skabands and to Heavy Manners' considerablerhythmic talents. From Politics and Plea¬sure, the band's current offering, it is clearthat Heavy Manners' success amongst theska lovers of America isn't the result ofideology, but, rather, the result of an eminently danceable beat. Unfortunately, HeavyManners isn't content with this genuine suecess on the dancefloor; their vaguely leftist,coyly anarchist lyrics give the impressionthat they would also like to orchestrate thenext worker's revolution. Politics and Pleasure is nothing but a dance album with delu¬sions of thematic grandeur.With songs like "Flamin' First," Heavy 'Til one day you was found hung deadManners is at their rhythmic best — Kate in your cell.Fagan's appealingly quirky voice, a liltingsaxophone line, innocently silly lyrics and,behind it all, the sheer percussive power of"America's Number One Ska Band." "Flamin' First" and "Blue Beat," a song thatcombines the spirit of the 1950's sock-hopwith the hypnotic power of reggae, demandnothing more than a willingness to dance.All the songs on Politics and Pleasure sharethe same danceable characteristics, butwhen the lyrics move from innocently sillyto politically boring, a lot of the listeningand dancing pleasure disappears. "On TheWay Down" contains such fashionably pes¬simistic lyrics asNo one's going to follow where theleaders won't goNo one asks the questions no onewants to knowWe can only follow where the moneydo goWe're on the way down."On The Way Down" is pretty grim materi¬al. Although it possibly holds elements oftruth in it, haven't we heard this samegloomy refrain in Black Uhuru, in JimmyCliff at his worst, in Gil Scott-Heron at hisbest, and in just about every other reggaeband burdened with an angry political con¬sciousness but an inability to explain andconvince. Evil politicians, pink slips, racialinjustice, and political helplessness arefrightening realities, but such bombastic de¬spair has reduced them to nothing morethan the lyrical cliches of an entire musicalgenre. In the end, one can't help but wonderif these lyrical cliches simply serve asmasks for the fact that a lot of bands simplyhave nothing original to say.Perhaps it's too much to expect cogent po¬litical thought from a dance band. Yet,Heavy Manners self-consciously calls atten¬tion to their own political aspirations. Unfor¬tunately, these aspirations are lost in lyricalevasions. This is an album which inspiresnot thought, but a desire to dance. —BKThe MessageGrandmaster Flash and the Furious FiveSugarhill RecordsWhile Politics and Pleasure exemplifies aparticular type of lyrical vacuity, The Mes¬sage by Grandmaster Flash and the FuriousFive proves that pop music can be bothrhythmically effective and, more impor¬tantly, lyrically incisive. This seven minuterap single was released early this summer,but repeated listenings don't lessen its un¬settling power. From its vivid portrayal ofeconomic despair to its graphic account of asingle life spent in the ghetto, this is a bril¬liant song:A child is born with no state of mindBlind to the ways of mankindGod's smiling on you but he's frowning too'Cause only God knows what you'll gothrough Part of the power of The Message lies in thefact that Grandmaster Flash doesn't play¬fully hint at an absolving ideology. Theyoffer neither false hope nor embarassinglynaive solutions, only a shattering evocationof despair.There is a problem associated with TheMessage — a problem of audience. Althoughthe song is primarily a product of black cul¬ture, it has acquired a certain white audi¬ence. But among this white audience, doesanyone but the already hip, politically-minded person listen to this song? The audi¬ence for this song wasn't created by it — italready existed. The people who run out tobuy the new Clash album, the new Jamalbum, the new Gang of Four album, or thenew Translator album are the same peoplewho run out to buy The Message. The Mes¬sage provides this audience with a goodtime on the dance floor, as well as politicalsubstance to think about. —BKNebraskaBruce SpringsteenColumbia RecordsA lot of critics have negatively charac¬terized Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska as"grim." Well, in case they haven't noticed,the Reaganomics of 1982 are grim. Politicalthemes have never been absent fromSpringsteen's past work, but, on Nebraska,he offers his most comprehensive and uni¬fied vision of the state of America. Nebras¬ka surely isn’t a dance record like Politicsand Pleasure or The Message. Indeed, somemight not call this album rock and roll at all.Recorded in four-track splendor, Nebraskais musically closer to traditional folk music— little more than acoustic guitar, harmoni¬ca and voice. But in any genre, Nebraska isa great album — an album which demandsattention.Like The Message, Nebraska offers nei¬ther manifestos nor cheap solutions, but itdoes offer compassion, a compassion some¬how moving, yet starkly unsentimental. Nebraska is filled with criminals, the unem¬ployed, and, on "Johnny 99," with acombination of the two:Well they closed down the auto plantinMahweh late that monthRalph went out lookin' for a job but hecouldn'tfind noneHe came home too drunk frommixin'Tanqueray and wineHe got a gun shot a night clerk nowthey call'mJohnny 99."Highway Patrolman," "Atlantic City,"and the title track also offer visions of anAmerica gone violently and criminallywrong. Yet, the sympathies of the listeneralways remain with Springsteen's crimi¬nals. They are always the victims of theireconomic desperation, rather than the vic¬ tims of their own malevolence. The sympa¬thy and compassion which this albumevokes, not to mention the enormous sellingpower of Springsteen, destine this album tobe the most accessible and commerciallysuccessful of the three albums I have re¬viewed here. Yet, its popular appealshouldn't be held against it. When politicsovertly comes to mainstream rock and roll,as on this album, the new Who album, or thenew Billy Joel album, things really must bebad.For all its violence and economic despair,Nebraska offers an occasional moment ofpure pleasure, moments characterized bythe same quality of emotional expressionSpringsteen brings to his songs of vio¬lence:I met Wanda when she was employedbehindthe counter at the route 60 Bobs BigBoy friedchicken on the front seat she's sittin'in my lapWe're wipin' our fingers on a Texacoroadmap.On the album's final song, the serio-comic"Reason to Believe," Springsteen finds that"at the end of every hard earned day peoplefind some reason to believe." Springsteenoffers no political solutions; but he invokesthe individual's feelings as the power whichcontinues to motivate and regenerate mean¬ing in their lives. After all the preceding de¬spair, Springsteen seems to retain his faithin the value of the human spirit, and hisfaith in rock and roll to ease that spirit:Hey mr. deejay woncha hear my lastprayer heyho rock n' roll deliver me from nowh-were. —BKKissing to be CleverCulture ClubEpic RecordsYou'll be glad to know that this album isfinally domesticated (no longer just an im¬port) and I say about time — they need tobecome housebroken since they're such"cool cats." Leah thought that they wouldmake good housekeepers but either way thisalbum deserves a listen. When 1 first heard"White Boy" last year I said "yeech — Fun¬kin' brits can't Rap — you need Grandmas¬ter Flash or Funky Four." They were filedunder R (for Rubbish along with the HumanLeague and Heaven 17). But this year theyreleased the single "Do you really want tohurt me" and it killed me. (don't ask a ques¬tion like, how can you be aead and write areview at the same time.) It is easily thebest song of the year — a pop classic. Butthen I remembered they were British andindeed the rest of the album was horriblecrap-stealing styles like Salsa and Rap andalways botching the job. They must do thisto attract all the stylish Brits, the writers onNME, the people who smoke too many cigsnot to mention the people who attend Sunday brunches on Kimbark Ave, Culture Clubneeds to make money to get their hair cut orto waste money on their flashy clothes.

Two converts outof three for one album isn't a bad record(Pun?!) (HA-HA-HA-no this isn't a reviewof the Flipper album.) This is a perfect popalbum complete with horns. Adam knows hecan't anger the press anymore than he al¬ready has so they all sound similar and de¬lightful. He tries desperately to make wordsrhyme and usually fails, he tries to sing andplay instruments including violin (and failsthis task tooj. But there is always his sidekick Marco who receives the best line of thealbum "See what you can do" (1 still haven'tfigure out what he can do.) The hit song"Goody Two Shoes" should go down in histo¬ry beside the Archies "Sugar, Sugar." Hislyrics are very tongue in cheek (if you putyour tongue in your cheek you'd sound likethat too.) In short, this is an irresistiblealbum and he is smart enough to realize thatyou shouldn't drink or smok). —SDSongs for SaleVic Goddard and the Subway SetLondon Records (import)What do you do if you used to be a punkband and you have less success than the Ad¬verts not to mention the Pistols.

But not iust the clothes, heknows how to hold a cigarette and croon.Along with the crooning goes nice simplelove lyrics — simple love is another ideaworth thinking about in this day and age onthe campus.

But he slowly realized that he can'tsing — but don't worry, the songs are nicelycomplemented by musicians who can't play.The first two songs are irresistible lovesongs using cliche upon cliche to make theirpoint — why invent new lines when the oldones work fine? The third is a remake of"The Tracks of My tears." — why make ar.ew song when an old one works just fine?But throughout the EP they make blissfulnoise.

Taylor's And A Nightingale SangMAGIC AT STEPPENWOLFby Cate WileyAnd a Nightingale Sang is a play that firsttoured in men's clubs and village halls in thenorth of England for audiences "that wouldnever dream of entering a theatre proper."It is the story of a typical, even archetypalBritish family during the second World War— that war of wars that people seemed soproud to die in. The Iasi global conflict inhistory that seemed so clearly stamped inblack and white, good and evil, and thatGreat Britain has never quite recoveredfrom. The war actually plays a minor role inthis script, but the story could not have hap¬pened without it. By the same token, it is im¬possible not to wonder whether the warcould have happened without stories likethis. And a Nightingale Sang is having itsAmerican premiere here in Chicago and it isfortunate to have fallen into the hands andhearts of the Steppenwolf Company.Steppenwolf has been criticized in the pastfor not taking enough gambles in their selec¬tion of material. This play, while not alarm¬ing in any superficial aspect, runs thegraver risk of seeming old-fashioned. But,while no longer historically topical, the com¬bined stories of love and war are as lively onthe Steppnewolf stage as if they happenedyesterday. Similar to other wartime ro¬mances, C.P. Taylor created a timelessemotional history and placed it in the con¬text of the World War. That the play is soflawlessly structured and its characters someticulously exposed is what makes it via¬ble today. And what makes it an ideal vehi¬cle for Steppenwolf.I can think of no theater in Chicago (bar¬ring Court, periodically) with such a consis¬tently superior ensemble of actors anddirectors. Many Steppenwolf "regulars"color this cast, along with some new facesthat will hopefully be seen again. The magicof these actors, something that can only re¬sult from performing in a myriad of showstogether, is that they each seem made fortheir respective roles. It is hard to believethat everyone playing the Stott family ofNewcastle-Upon-Tyne is not related to oneanother. In an artistic sense, of course theyare, and this makes them credible to the au¬dience, who is not a member of the family.Joan Allen plays Helen, the eldest daugh¬ter, who narrates the play. The playwrighthas given her this responsibility because itis clear that she, despite her meekness andlifelong embarassment about her "bad leg,"has always held the family together. Not aneasy task, we soon discover. The mother,played with unerring daftness by LaurieMetcalf (and with more assurance than shegave to a similar character earlier this sea-sin in True West) is a genuflecting Catholiccertain she's going to fall to pieces any mo¬ ment; but we suspect she never has andnever will. Her husband, George Scott,played with glowing underemphasis byJohn Mahoney, does little more than plankout popular tunes on the piano in the liv-ingroom. The two are wonderful foils, andwhen she smacks him and says "Act yourage" when he tries to peck her cheek, it isclear that they have been in love for a long,long time and humor has brought themthrough it. And then there's Grand-Da (canyou imagine a British family without itsGrand Da?), done to a tee by Alan Wilder,who also deserves credit as the company'sdialect coach. All of the casts' accents aresurprisingly good. Northern English is diffi¬cult to imitate without slipping into a Scot¬tish brogue, but everybody manages not to.Jeanine Morick is pretty and appropriatelybitch/contrite as the youngest daughter,and Gary Cole does an excellent job with thedifficult part of her spineless husband.Were any of the actors to be singled out fortheir performances, they would be the coup¬le on whom the play focuses. Helen falls inlove for the first time in her life with an im¬possibly handsome and sensitive young sol¬dier, played by Tom Irwin. Both Mr. Irwinand Ms. Allen give their finest perfor¬mances to date in And a Nightingale Sang.Their romance is as exquisite and as prede¬termined as a tragic bullet. We all know itwon't last, they know it too, but it's lovelywhile it's there.Terry Kinney directs with an agility de¬manded by the script, adding some originaltouches to make the action accessible in thelow-ceilinged, very wide acting area of Step-penwolf's new home. Some of the best mo¬ments of the evening are when every singlemember of the family is talking at fullspeed. We catch only the lines we weremeant to and they are inevitably hilarious —especially when everyone is talking througha gas mask. The set by Louis DeCrescenzo isservicable and attractive, as are WalterReinhardt's and Doug Gould's lights.Old World War 11 songs infiltrate the play(And a Nightingale Sang is one of them),sung aloud or heard as scene introductions.Even if you don't recognize them, it is easyto recall how important they were for themorale of the allied forces and the ever-op-timistic British population. Judging fromthis play, humor and love helped get theBrits through the war. It is certainly hurnorand love that gets the Stott family, especial¬ly Helen, through their own domestic vic¬tories and defeats.And a Nightingale Sang is playing Tues¬days through Sundays at the SteppenwolfTheatre, 2851 North Halsted.

RUDALLCOSTUMESTHE RADIOby Kevin TuiteIt was twenty nine years ago this monththat the whiskey-soaked brain of DylanThomas gave out in a New York hospital —hastened, perhaps, by a morphine injectionfrom a doctor of dubious ethics. The inter¬vening years have seen a generation of biog¬raphers, gossip-mongers and word-process¬ing academics elevate Thomas to a positionof celebrity for outstripping his poetic con¬temporaries. He was the tragic figure ofwhich tragedies are made: a hyperkinetic,pub-crawling^ Welsh dreamer who couldnever keep his family out of debt (while hewas alive); irresponsible and heavily de¬pendent on his friends; vomiting from toomuch alcohol on an empty stomach at a re¬hearsal of Under Milk Wood; dead at thirty-nine. Quite a contrast from the passing afew years leater of the haunted Sibelius, fro¬zen by a dark night of the soul that lastedthirty years. Still, much of Thomas' fame iswell merited, and Under Milk Wood remainsone of his most enjoyable works.As originally conceived, the play that wasto become Milk Wood centered on an insan¬ity hearing of the eccentric population of thelittle Welsh fishing village Llareggub (spellit backwards!) Put on trial by the sane out¬side world which wants Llareggub cordonedoff like an asylum, the townspeople with¬draw their defense when the prosecution'sfinal argument depicts the ideally sane vil¬lage. Thomas left the project half-finished.In the years just preceding his death, Thom¬as began planning larger, more dramaticworks than those of his earlier years. As iswell known, Stravinsky was eager to collab¬orate with him on an opera, and the ThomasNachlass includes the beginnings of a longpoem-cycle entitled "In Country Heaven".It was at this time that Thomas returned tohis Llareggub project, and conceived thebrilliant stroke of eliminating the plot en¬tirely, and focusing on the townspeoplethemselves.Under Milk Wood, a Play for Voices takesthe people of Llareggub through a typicalday, from their pre dawn dreams to the re¬turn of night. Some five dozen charactershave speaking parts, and two namelessVoices provide the narration which makesMilk Wood a cohesive whole. (I use the word"whole" guardedly however. Thomas wasunder pressure to finish Milk Wood and fi¬nally submitted a text to the BBC threeweeks before his death. The astute readerwill note that night falls rather quickly inLlareggub compared to the slow progress ofearly morning; had the author more life¬time and leisure, the play might have beenmore symmetrical.) The tale of Milk Woodi$ told in the quick-paced, heavily alliterat¬ed, densely imagistic word-painting thatThomas had developed in his early twenties.The remarkable "Altarwise by Owl-light"represents the first successful employmentof the style that was to become Dylan Thom¬as' trademark, and which reached its zenithin the compacted intensity of "A Refusal toMourn the Death, by Fire, of a Child in Lon¬don". While Under Milk Wood is certainly ahumorous play, it has its moments of poi¬gnancy and pathos — for example, the dia¬logues of Captain Cat with his long-deadcompanions, and the wistful son of PollyGarter for her lost Willy Wee. But the daycontinues apace in Llareggub, and a com¬ment of almost cruel irrelevance by one ofthe characters pulls us away from the brinkof melodrama.In producing Under Milk Wood for thestage, Court Theatre's Artistic Director Ni¬cholas Rudall chose to employ scenery, costumes and props, and have his cast act outthe script. Recall that Thomas subtitled hiswork "a play for voices", intended for radioperformance. Also, powerful readings of Dylan Thomas' Under MilkwoodMilk Wood have been given without sceneryor action. In making his decision, Rudallcommitted himself to the difficult task ofmoving 17 adults and 11 children, representing over sixty characters, on and offstage in a briskly-paced narrative, and giv¬ing his nameless Voices a meaningful stagepresence.In all of these technical aspects Rudallsucceeds as a professional should. More im¬portantly, the acting was commendable.James McCance, the First Voice, looked va¬guely like a cross between Dylan Thomasand the young Senator Nixon, which I foundsomewhat disconcerting, but related thetale of Llareggub with flair and a convincingAnglo-Welsh accent. The other Voice, JoeVan Slyke, turned in a vivid narration aswell. Prof. Kenneth Northcott, magnificentas God in last spring's production of NoyesFludde at Rockefeller Chapel, was no lessimpressive in the humbler role of CaptainCat, the blind sea captain who serves as anauxiliary narrator. Among the rest of theenormous list of townspeople, the roles ofLily Smalls, Mr. and Mrs. Pugh, the Beyn-ons, No-Good Boyo and Rosie Probert wereespecially well acted.In summary, I would state that the CourtTheatre's Milk Wood was a theatrical suc¬cess, and a musical failure. Thomas onlycalled for three songs in his directions toMilk Wood (which his friend the composerDaniel Jones arranged) and a few soundsfrom off-stage. Rudall added some piped-inmusic in the first part of the play which Ifound irritating, and had his Polly Gartersing like a music-hall chanteuse which Ideem unforgiveable. Her lament for WillieWee is set to a melody of remarkable beautyand deceptive simplicity, as the best folk-tunes are. A voice of simple, pure timbreand reasonable good intonation is an abso¬lute must for a song like this, especiallygiven its dramatic importance. I amthoroughly baffled by Rudall's failure to re¬cognize the significance of music in UnderMilk Wood, the 1954 BBC recording of MilkWood, directed by Douglas Cleverdon withan all-Welsh cast headed by Richard Bur¬ton, is well worth listening to get the full im¬pact. For reasons incomprehensible to me,the radio station WFMT traditionallybroacdcasts this recording each Christmas.Before I close my conditional endorsementof the Court Theater's Milk Wood, 1 a coupleof useful notes:Caveat Respirator — at two points in UnderMilk Wood an odd-smelling miasma, repre¬senting fog, is secreted in copious quantitiesfrom the front of the stage. Those with olfac¬tory sensibilities should avoid sitting in thefront rows, left-center."Student Rush" — this has nothing to dowith fraternities. Rather, it enables the fin¬ancially strapped student to attend a CourtTheatre production for only $3.00. Faculty,staff, non-U. of C. students, and real peoplepay either $9.00 or $11.00, which is outra¬geous, but the sob-story entitled "Businessand the Arts", in this month's Stagebill ex¬plains why. To collect the discount, the oth¬erwise-eligible theater goer must buy his orher tickets on the day of the performance,and only on a Wednesday, Thursday or Sun¬day. Under Milk Wood is a bargain at theprice. Eleven dollars I'm not so sureabout.ALBUMScontinued from page 9it.It's my $2.49 copy of Some Girls by theRolling Stones. It has the original "scandal¬ous" cover with the "cover girls." It stillbears the price tag and a legend which reads"Slight Scratch."The best part about a "slight scratch" onthis record is that YOU CAN'T HEAR IT.It's buried amid seven layers of rumble.This can't be said of Beethoven recordings— a scratch on one of those babies and it'shad it. Out it goes, in the next day's trashwith your coffee grounds. This is why rock isso durable on record, and why Beethovenshould be left to the concert halls.There was something visceral about play¬ ing this record the first time through. I nor¬mally observe a decent standard of carewith my records. This one I jammed on thespindle, with all due haste, and let it go.There's also something visceral about play¬ing a record you haven't cleaned. I frequent¬ly do this with my copy of Black Flag.But if I want to be consistant with criti¬cisms I registered here in a letter a coupleweeks ago, I should talk about the record,especially the music.The Stones, with reservations, are rock-and-roll's most consistant players. This re¬cord used to be one of my reservations. It'ssmart-assed, high tech veneer made me gag when I used to hear it on the radio. Thinkabout '78 for a moment. While Nick Lowe,Elvis Costello, Blondie and Talking Headswere selling us a new, brave kind of pop,these guys were offering the same oldsnake-oil. It seemed contemptuous and re¬actionary.My critical faculties have proven quiteelastic over time. At current, my ears arehitched to the American punks of 1982,whom, at their best, are fast, witty, andiconoclastic. RF7 sings pro-Christian speedrock, the Descendants write songs aboutfish, and Flipper — when Will Shatter is atthe helm — wails paeans to Life. So, today I'm listening to Some Girls fil¬tered through Flipper. And what I hear is asardonic compression of the dense, diffuseand difficult offerings of Exile on Main St. Inretrospect. Exile was a good album that suc¬cumbed to critical over-appraisal by thoseN.Y. crits who claim to listen to RobertJohnson for pleasure. Some Girls arrestedthe six-year anticipation for another "mas-terpiece"by deliberately breaking Exile'smold. Perhaps that explains the bad re¬views it got that year.I think that this LP should be looked uponas yet another punk attempt to overturn thehighbrows and play directly to the kids.Maybe I've been defrauded, but I think thiswas the only superstar band attempt at rev¬olution during the Seventies.

BrownDean of the ChapelTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOUnited WayCrusade of MercyPLEASE GIVEThe Chicago Maroon,—Tuesday, November 23. 1982 -23LettersIntellectualterrorismTo the editor:In last Friday’s Maroon, John Eganspent well over a column attacking theremarks of Tzvi El-Peleg, as reportedin an interview in the Maroon of Nov.12. Egan charges that El-Peleg’s re¬marks, by quantifying Lebanese civil¬ian casualties in the recent war, whileignoring casualties among Palestiniancivilians, may carry “within them theseeds of racism.” As the author of theEl-Peleg inverview, allow me to quoteEl-Peleg as reported in the interview.In answer to a question about civiliancasualties in Lebanon, El-Peleg said, “Between 300 and 400 Lebanese werekilled. Many Palestinians were killed,especially in Ein Hulweh...” El-Pelegthus explicitly stated that many Pales¬tinian civilians, beyond the 300 to 400Lebanese, were killed. He also ex¬plained how the PLO’s use of Palestin¬ian civilians as hostages and humanshields led to these deaths.Egan is a student in the College. Itappears that he knows how to write.One may assume that he also knowshow to read. Nevertheless, he ignoresEl-Peleg’s published words. Might thereason that he treats El-Peleg dif¬ferently be that El-Peleg is an Israeliand not a Palestinian? Indeed, “mightnot one say that these views carry with¬in them the seeds of racism?”S. David NovakThe devil is in ChamberlinTo the editor:On Thursday, Nov. 18, ChamberlineHouse sponsored two pornographicfilms. In response to these films, theWomen’s Union and many concernedindividuals expressed objections topornography. These films are dehu¬manizing to both women and men be¬cause they misrepresent and distorthuman sexuality. The following state¬ment was distributed to those enteringthe movie by the protestors. It waswritten with the hope that it wouldmake those viewing the film aware ofthe social implications of porno¬graphy.The movies being shown this week byChamberlin House, The Devil WithinHer and Welcome Stranger, promotesexual violence against women. That adormitory at this Universityf supportsits activities through the objectificationand subjugation of women is abhor¬rent.The media defines many of our socie¬tal values. Pornography engenders and promotes the idea that violence againstwomen is acceptable. The degradationof women should not be a source ofmale sexual pleasure. The portrayal ofwomen as desirous of rape, beatings,and other acts of violence is a male re¬presentation of female sexuality. Sexu¬ality becomes defined as an aggressor-victim interaction rather than as ashared affectionate experience. Allpornography shows women in sexualliyand physically submissive and vulner¬able positions. Through pornographicmedia portrayals, women are deceivedinto accepting the stereotype and as¬suming the role of masochistic victimsor servicers of men’s desires.We are not suggesting that Universi¬ty administrators censor movies or anyother student activity. We are simplydemanding that participants, whethersponsors or patrons, stop and considerthe implications that their actions havefor the lives of women.The University of ChicagoWomen’s UnionSSA hampers handicappedTo the editor:There was a time — now it seemsvery long ago — when the University ofChicago School of Social Service Ad¬ministration was in the vanguard of so¬cial reform in this nation. At a laterdate the University built a facility, de¬signed by a very famous architect, averitable monument to modern indus¬trial man.This building ws not designed to ac¬commodate human beings. In fact, thearchitect himself declined to tour it atits dedication because he was crippledand could not negotiate its three flightsof stairs. The building’s deficienciesare obvious. No room except the li¬brary is on the first floor. A wheelchair-bound individual cannot reach thebasement (restrooms, computer, re¬prographics, faculty offices), mid-level(faculty and Deans’ offices), or upper-level (the classrooms!)!Two years ago SSA admitted a handi¬capped student, yet when he did notcome, no changes were made. Thisyear (to everyones’ surprise!?) thesame young man accepted admission.The University quickly did a hack ren¬ovation job:1. Built a bathroom on the mainfloor.2. Laid an access ramp to one park¬ ing place.3.Put an eight-foot temporary wallin the library, thus creating a non-soundproof classroom and eradi¬cating 20 percent of the library.This student still has no access to themainstream classes in this school, theprivacy of meeting with a teacher in anoffice, or access to the other resourcesof this school. He “attends” the coreclass by sitting in the lobby listening toa loudspeaker set on the stairs. Sincethis is embarrassing for everyone, weunderstand that the speaker-cord is tobe lengthened so he can listen in theschool’s only conference room, out ofsight.I do not personally know this studentbut I wish to convey to him my apolo¬gies and those of a very embarrassedcommunity at SSA. I want to commendhis courage for coming here, but joinwith him should he decide to challengethe University for its lack of effort. I donot believe the University cannot comeup with the resources to renovate thisSchool properly, by installing an eleva¬tor or lift providing access to all floors. vWhat’s going on now is not only inhu¬mane and shortsighted, but also ille¬gal.Sharon KeigherSt THOMAS APOSTLE PARISH AND SCHOOLPRESEATSAINT NICHOLAS BAZAARHoliday Treasures • Baked GoodsHand-Knits • GiftsSaturday,December 4 • 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.Sunday,December 5*9 a.m. - 2 p.m.5467 S. Wood lawn • 324-2626 Media wars volume twoTo the editor:. First off, we should thank the Maroonfor making sure that they could adviseus before they quit for the quarter.Since we will be here after you stop forthe quarter, it’s good of you to tell usnow.You are correct in noting that WHPKis different from WNUR and WUIC.WNUR is part of the curriculum, hasrequired programming, and is 720times the wattage of WHPK. As forWUIC, the programming must be inno¬vative indeed for the students to hearit, since the station went off the air overa year ago.Although you are obviously familiarwith our “dumb” programming, wewould like to remind you that peopleare not just “let loose on the air¬waves.” They are all trained before¬hand, and if they do not perform atleast adequately, they are removed.We will admit that since the staff iscompletely volunteer and non-profes¬sional there is an occasional slip-up.But it is an insult to the staff — many ofwhome spend hours preparing theirshows — to insinuate that they do notcare, or that their programming is“dumb.” Perhaps if the Maroon wouldconsent to inform us why the pro¬gramming is “dumb,” we could cor¬ rect it. Since no specifics were men¬tioned, we’ll have to wait.A question: since when has it beenconsidered experimental for a stationto broadcast syndicated programmingthat can be heard in every city in thecounty? We refer here to WBEZ, our“mentor.” Now, this is not to denigrateWBEZ, but even a cursory listen toboth stations will show WHPK as thefar more experimental station. “Alter¬native” is the best word to describe thegoals of WHPK. This means an alterna¬tive source for every form of music; analternative to WXRT, WFMT, WGCIand WBEZ. WHPK is one of the laststations in Chicago that allows the d.j.sto play what they want, to create theirown programming, with no restric¬tions. But if the Maroon feels so stron¬gly that we should imitate WBEZ inorder to be original, we’d suggest thatyou give us $50,000 for a satellite hook¬up.Finally, since the Maroon has been sohelpful, maybe they should go into theconsulting business. No doubt WLS andWFMT, say, would be vitally interestedin “advice” from the Maroon.Thomas T.

Now I could holdSpires of yesteryearTo the editor:I found Purnima Dubey’s article onthe Tower Group rather thorough andmildly interesting, but one question re¬mains: what happened to the spiresthat once adorned the Reynolds Club? Imay be wrong, but rumor has it thatwhen the Reynolds Club was turnedover to the armed forces in 1940, somemilitary brass requested that thespires be removed. They believed thatin the event of an air attack the spiresmight fall through the roof of what isnow the C Shop, killing the officersquartered there. If this is true, whereare the spires of yesteryear andoughtn’t they be restored to their loftyperches?Stephen HaydonFourth year student in the College have a connection with John D. Rock¬efeller.To make a long story short, I alwaysreceive Maroon feature stories like“The Tower Group: historically exclu¬sive buildings” (Tuesday, Nov. 16)with unrestrained enthusiasm. I mustsay that this one in particular has givenme some great stuff.My favorite part of this article is thebit about how exclusive the ReynoldsClub was when it opened in 1908: “...theclub was patronized by such augustpersonages as Charles Hitchcock, SilasCobb and Thomas Goodspeed.” Now, tothe average U of C reader, this doesn’tmean too much. All three of these guyshad buildings named after them, sothey must have been “august person¬ages,” right? I know, however that thisisn’t their true contribution to the ex¬clusivity of the Reynolds Club. The factis that two of them were dead when theClub opened in 1908. Hitchcock diedMay 7,1881, and Cobb died April 6,1900.(Goodspeed was 66 in 1908.) Yes, theymust have made quite a trio. I can’timagine three more stodgy old menhaving brandy and cigars after dinner.Or how about playing a lively game ofwhist? Billiards with Hitchcock andCobb must have been a special treat.I know I’ll get a lot of mileage out ofthis tidbit of information — manythanks to Purnima Dubey for writingabout it — but I have one problem.When I attend social functions, should Iexplain that the other members of theReynolds Club didn’t notice that two oftheir cronies were dead or that theywere just too upper-crust to say any¬thing?Joel ElliottClass of 198224—The Chicago Maroon—Tuesday, November 23, 1982SPECIALSyouroppinght!THE MEMBERSBUSINESSASSOCIATIONfkr>ark Hyde ParkOffice Products1456 E. 53rd St.955-2510Parker Jotterreg. $4.50$298Bic Biro Pens5V*>»2°°^sa.405250SelectedChristmasCards Vi PRICEreg. $7 - $20COUPONWhile QuantitiesLast .HYDE PARKGARAGE5508 South Lake Park241-6220Open 24 hours a dayNOT MECHANICALLYINCLINED?We offer a good job ata fair price.

After several food chains reject¬ed offers to become a part of what isnow the Hyde Park Shopping Center on55th St. and Lake Park Ave., “the Co-opwas brought in to establish the center.”Because the Co-op had thousands ofsteady customers in the area, Wal¬green’s and other stores were temptedto take a chance on what many at theIBX systemContinued from page oneHowever, some reference librarianssaid that the system was installed inMarch, and, despite problems in train¬ing users said, “The situation’s slowlygetting somewhat better.” One em¬ployee in Special Collections said thatthe first problem occurred when theIBX phones were first activated. “Allof the phones in the library went off inone continuous ring, and it was sometime before we realized that they mustbe unplugged. After that the only prob¬lem was having some phones go deadfor a week at a time.”Various employees from the mainQuadrangles had different responses.Barbara Sykes, secretary for graduatestudies in the math department, saidthe system is “no good at all.” Sheadded that “the system goes down justlike any computer does, and often it’simpossible to hear people because ofthe static.”Employees in the physics depart¬ment described the new system as “thebiggest bunch of garbage we’ve evergotten into.” They attributed theirproblems to numerous and lengthybreakdowns, static, and confusion. Asone person remarked, “The only ad¬vantage over the old system that I cansee is abbreviated dialing.”Cynthia Parker, receptionist to theDean of Students in the College, wasalso critical of the system. “We’ve hadNews in brief time considered at best a dubious en¬terprise.Despres suggested that the inclusionof the Co-op in the plans for the shop¬ping center enabled the center to be¬come “a social gathering place” in¬stead of just another urban mall (whichDespres said he believes would havehappened if an A&P or Jewel storewere there instead).The members assembled at themeeting seemed pleased with Despres’assessment of the Co-op’s role in theHyde Park community and appearedhopeful that their Society would remainactive for at least another 50 years.the phones replaced three times. Thefunctions tend to go haywire,” shesaid.On the other hand, some offices havehad good experiences. StephanieWalthes, a secretary in the departmentof physical sciences, said, “I love thenew system. Of course, there have beena few bugs, such as breakdowns, butpeople just have to learn how to re¬spond properly.” A coordinator in theadministration building saw both ad¬vantages and disadvantages, saying,“I like the quickness, and the ability toprogram numbers into the phone. Butone big disadvantage is the calltransfer system through which yousometimes get a busy signal which youcan’t get rid of. Even though you getcall echoes, and occasionally peopleget cut off, we have hope that they workout these problems eventually.”Some of the confusion can be les¬sened by an explanation of how the sys¬tem works. Sweeney supplied severalguidelines. There are a variety of so¬phisticated features but the serviceoperates in the same way as the Cen¬trex system does. To reach someone onIBX from an IBX phone, simply dialthe last five digits of his phone number.To reach an IBX user from a Centrexphone, or vice versa, dial 180 and thenthe last five digits of his number. Start¬ing in several weeks, calls can be madeto the dorms from either phone by dial¬ing 200 and the last five digits of thedorm’s number. Users having troublewith an IBX phone can dial 5-3396 forhelp.Kahan MemorialLecture seriesBernard Wasserstein, professor ofhistory and director of the Tauber In¬stitute at Brandeis University, willdeliver the inaugural Arcadius KahanMemorial Lecture.

Kahan specialized in in¬ternational economics, economichistory, and economic development.Most recently he had been studying theproblems of the Soviet economy,especially Soviet agriculture.Kahan was born in Poland in 1920 andstudied economics and law in Warsaw.During the World War II German-Soviet occupation of Poland, he wasArcadius Kahan26—The Chicago Maroon—Tuesday, first imprisoned and then joined thePolish army. He participated in the in¬vasion of Germany and was lateremployed there by the AmericanJewish Joint Distribution Committeeas a statistician and emigration officer.Kahan arrived in the United States in1950 and served as the research direc¬tor in the Kursky Archives of theJewish Labor Movement in New Yorkfrom 1953-55.

Instructors and students whowish to change the officially scheduledtime for any exam may do so only ifsuch a change is located within examweek and is unanimously agreed to byall the students registered for thecourse. If the instructor and students inany course arrange a different examtime, the instructor must still offer theexam at the officially scheduled time ifone or more students are interested intaking it then.The dates for the Autumn Convoca¬tion and the end of the Autumn Quarterwere erroneously listed in this year’sUniversity Directory as Dec. 15 and 16.The actual dates are Dec. 17 and 18.;r 23, 1982 CensorshipContinued from page threeresponsible for continued textbook cen¬sorship. Survey data indicate thatyoung people in Japan have substantialleisure time and lack self-discipline. Si¬milarly, there is an apparent lack ofcommitment among youth and evenfrequent reports of delinquent behaviorin schools. Observers often blame “un¬fortunate American influences” in re¬sponse. In short, many Japanese fear a“cultural malaise or crisis” has struckthem.The Ministry of Education believesthat it can help avert these problemsthrough “the effective bureaucraticmanagement of knowledge.” Unlesscertain measures take effect, educa¬tors fear that future generations willnot meet the demands of society andconsequently, that Japan will lose itscompetitive strength in world markets.Accordingly, “certain kinds of knowl¬edge must be de-emphasized or deletedentirely.”Najita said that if “evidence ...shows that the recent past containsmuch that is chaotic, harsh, inhuman,and inconveivably brutal are erased orpresented in bland, flat, uninvolvednarrative,” they suggest that the pres¬ent “is a perfectly reasonable and ra¬tional outgrowth of that past.”Tsou Tang, professor of politicalscierice, remarked that “materialachievements mean very little if ourspiritual values and our humanity arelost.” Remarking on the ideological de¬ception of current Japanese policy,Tang underscored the distraction of thecountry’s economic success. To illus¬trate, he noted that no matter how reli¬able a Japanese television set is, itsperformance has no bearing on thespiritual or ideological content of theprograms it receives. More generally,he stated, “however well made a Japa¬nese car is, it cannot transport us to ajust world.”He proposed a boycott of productsmade by companies with appropriategovernment connections if the Ministryof Education’s textbook revisions do not satisfy critics.One of the chief fears which the sym¬posium reviewed was renewed Japa¬nese Militarism. Certainly, it is truethat the Japanese constitution prohib¬its re-arming the country. In addition,there is little public support for anamendment which would permit in¬creased military spending. Neverthe¬less, according to Andrew Nahm ofWestern Michigan University, the Jap¬anese government has increased de¬fense expenditures dramatically overthe past decade. Further, there is noconstitutional obstacle to having nu¬clear weapons.Professor Harr y Harootunian, chair¬man of the Department of Far EasternLanguages and Civilizations, conclud¬ed the discussion by noting that orien¬tal specialists in the US and Europehave not done nearly enough to encour¬age the Japanese government tochange their policies. He said thatmany “Japan experts” are in effectforeign agents or public-relations per¬sonnel in what he called “full-scalecomplicity.” Harootunian stated thatthe American response has been one ofsilence.Harootunian cited the example of aparticular Japanese delegation of gov¬ernment and business officials in theUS which was visiting to investigateproblems with their country’s image.Various schools have instructions tomake preparations to receive a high-level group. Although the meeting wascancelled, the real purpose seemedclear. Harootunian asserted that it was“to find out why a number of AmericanUniversities were not doing a better jobof explaining Japan to American stu¬dents.” The underlying assumptionseemed to be that since the Japanesegovernment gave grants to universitiesand institutes in the United States, ithad a right to check on its “invest¬ments.” In spite of their own dissatis¬faction, the Japanese appear to enjoy adegree of complacency that even theUS government cannot rival.Copies of the organizing committee'scollection of editorials, articles, andchronology are still for sale for $1 percopy.

In the old days, a university onlyrose out of a college when the facultygot tired of putting up with students,,but now it does so for the prestige.Let’s face it, we’re the tops. In theforties, people wanted the style ofBroadway or the flash of Hollywood.These days they want the prestige ofCambridge, New Haven and HydePark. We’re sitting on a gold mine.For some reason, Fussel doesn’tseem to share our enthusiasm for thisarrangement (what do you expect, theguy probably went to DePaul). In fact,he thinks there’s some sort of unfair¬ness in a class structure based on edu¬cation. Of course, if he had gone to a re¬vered university like this one, he wouldhave learned that all things beingequal, there’s really no such thing asequality. Equal opportunity, like Marx¬ism, is nice until somebody offers you awell-paying job.But let’s wander from this moral ir¬relevance to the issue of our futures. Ifwhat Fussel says is right, we’re goingto be marching right off to the Ameri¬can Aristocarcy. I’ve been luckyenough to have come within chipshotdistance of the aristocracy three times,and let me tell you, it’s all right.In kindergarten, I had the good senseto become friends with a boy whose fa¬ther owned a Wall Street brokeragefirm.

Every year I spenta month up there with the blueblood ar¬istocracy, playing golf and polo, yacht¬ing and mixing highballs.

When we got tothe boat my friend announced to the lit¬tle party gathered there, “We’re bestfriends.”“Really?” somebody asked.“Sure,” I answered, “We’re homo¬sexuals.” Before I knew it I was sittingon the Long Island Railroad on the wayhome.My second brush with the aristocra¬cy came through another friend, amember of the ancient Tucker family,whose members include George Wash¬ington and Robert E. Lee, and whosend all their children to Yale. Twosummers ago, I was invited up to one oftheir summer homes, a renovated barnin New Hampshire in the shadow ofMount Monodnock. In the 1750s, thepopulation of the area around MountMonodnock was 1,208. By 1982, it hadrisen to 1,209.Unlike the financial aristocracy atthe Hamptons, this aristocracy culti¬vates the arts. They sponsor free clas¬sical music concerts in 18th centurychurches and then host delightful par¬ties afterwards at which you meet a lotof Harvard professors. These Harvardprofessors are very open. They mighteven supply you with a list of all theHarvard men who became presidentbefore you have a chance to ask.Half of this aristocracy are distin¬guished old people who haven’t heardof Woody Allen. The other half are richhippies who grow grain in the morning,import German microchips in the af¬ternoon, and work for the Clamshell Al¬liance at night.

These are the people who takeseminars at the neighborhood resourcecenter on subjects like “High FiberSex,” “Understanding Nudity,” and“Primal Sigh Therapy.”My third leap into the aristocracycame last summer in Rowayton, Con¬necticut during a week-long croquettournament. The creative aristocracyhang out in Rowayton: ad men, maga¬zine editors, authors, critics, and belleslettres groupies. Treat Williams livednext door and the lobster shack downthe road carries boxes so you can takelive lobsters with you on the plane toParis. These folks don’t care if you dri¬bble your Bloody Mary down your chinand they love it if you sit in on one oftheir lectures at the New School for So¬cial Research. These are the peoplewho were dressing preppy before theword was invented and who carryaround a photo of John Updike in theirwallets. They’re all writing plays withtitles like, “Who’s Afraid of EdwardAlbee?” These are the people, in case you’vebeen staying up nights wondering, whosubscribe to democracy and WilsonQuarterly. Whether they actually readthem or not, these people lead greatlives.I don’t mean to imply that the onlyaristocracies in America are EastCoast aristocracies. I’m sure there areother such groups outside of the east¬ern megolopolis — the area I call thebrains belt — but I must admit, I find itdifficult to imagine members of theUniversity Club bellying up to a barand arguing about Hannah Arendt inthe Beverly Hills Hilton.But if there is such an aristocracy outthere, I suggest you go out and join it.By coming from Chicago, you’re enti¬tled.

Chicago willface very stiff competition in the tour¬nament which includes Harvard, Wil¬liam and Mary, and Bucknell. Chicago,as a Division III team, will have atough time playing against the DivisionI teams at the tournament, but theMaroons should see how well they willfare against the toughest competitionthey will face this season. Last year,the Maroons were 8-8 against DivisionIII teams, and 0-6 against higher divi¬sion teams.This year, Chicago will play 21games, including twelve conferencegames. The twelve conference gameswill consist of home and away seriesagainst each of the six conference op¬ponents. In addition to Chicago, theMidwest Conference includes Coe, Cor¬nell, Knox, Monmouth, Grinnell, andBeloit. Coe and Cornell are the defend¬ing co-champions of the conference.Among its conference opponents,Chicago has only played Knox in recentseasons. Two years ago, the Maroonsdefeated Knox by two points, while lastseason Chicago won by 10. Knox isusually competitive in Midwest Confer¬ence play, although not a top con¬tender.Coach Diann Nestel is looking for awinning season this year. Three newplayers join this year’s 12 memberTrack team setsContinued from preceding pageUnknown at this point is the addition¬al power which will come from fresh¬men or other students from coming outfor the team. In telling of newmembers, Coach Ted Haydon notesthat there is room for everyone to com¬pete on a regular basis, and that lack ofexperience should not keep anyonefrom coming out for the team. He addsthat while experience is valuable, therewill not be any cuts and he will try tohave everyone participating in themeets.Haydon looks for a good season in1983. He believes that by the middle ofJanuary the outlook for the team willbe better known.Haydon also released the names of squad, including guard MajalisaJaede, center/forward GretchenGates, and guard Dana Howd. Gatesand Jaede are the only first-yearplayers on the squad, while Howd is athird-year transfer student.Returning members of the squad in¬clude guards Sue Fortunato, KarenWalsh, Sheila Dugan and BeverlyDavis, guard/forwards Denise Hannaand Karin Van Steerlandt, center/for-ward Helen Straus, forward WendyPietrzak, and center Elizabeth Lasky.Nestel believes that the squad has sev¬eral strong players, but declined toelaborate on the strongest players or apossible starting line-up.Nestel did say that the team’s heightis improved, although it is only averagefor a Division III team. The team alsoshould be strong on its defense. Shealso said that the team should be moreable to play a running game this year,but the team will need to work on its re¬bounding. This year’s squad is theproduct of past years’ experience, andNestel stated that she will not need tospend time drilling basics into theteam. Hence, the team can build on itspast success and strengths and try toimprove into a winning team this sea¬son. The Maroons will play at homeNov. 30 against Wheaton College afteropening the season at Harvard. Dec. 6,Chicago travels to Concordia. Theteam will open a doubleheader of men’sand women’s basketball between Chi¬cago and Judson Jan. 4.

Bothgovernments are committed to democracy, justice, human rights and freedoms. WE AFFIRM OURUNYIELDING SUPPORT FOR THE STATE OF ISRAEL and recognize its right to live withinsecure and recognized boundaries free from threat or act of force. We feel that it is essential for theCongress and the Administration to continue the bi-partisan policies which enhance the economicstability and the military security of the State of Israel. These policies are clearly beneficial to bothAmericans and Israelis.In light of this consensus, we commemorate the November 29, 1947 United Nation resolution whichresulted in the establishment of the Jewish State. We regret the continued rejection of this historic actby most of Israel’s neighbors.Unquestionably the Palestinian people have certain inalienable rights and we support negotiationswith Palestinian representatives who openly acknowledge the legitimacy of the State of Israel. We feelthat this condition is the essential prerequisite to sincere negotiations designed to guarantee Palestinianrights while simultaneously securing Israeli borders.A genuine peace between Israel and her neighbors must encompass full diplomatic relations, the endof hostile propaganda, and the termination of political and economic warfare. These objectives canonly be attained through mutual understanding and respect by all peoples who live in this troubledregion. When these goals are realized, Israel and her neighbors will live in peace and tranquility.The following students and faculty at the University of Chicago paid for this ad;I. D.
