The Chicago Maroon/olume 94, No. 24 The University of Chicago Friday. January 11, 1985Police arrest 13 for gang-related thefts on CTAPolice have increased patrols at the Garfield stop at 55th and Calumet Avenue, after in¬creased December crime at other stops on Jackson Park El.By Frank LubyA series of gang-relatedthefts and robberies on theJackson Park-Howard Elhave resulted in 13 arrests inlate December and early Jan¬uary, according to Lt. RobertHanley, Tacticai Coordinatorfor the Mass Transit Unit ofthe Chicago Police Depart¬ment. Stake-outs over the lastmonth and a half producedthe arrests, and Hanley feelsthat his department has thegang “75 to 80 percent helddown.”In addition, the Chicago Po¬lice have increased patrols attrouble spots, including the55th Street stop near the Uni¬versity of Chicago, and havedispatched K-9 patrols wherenecessary.In an incident apparentlyunrelated to the gang activi¬ty, a youth was shot to deathon the 58th Street platform ofthe Jackson Park-Howard Elin early December.“The last two weeks havekept us thin,” said Hanley,“because of the holiday andthe school strike, whichleaves these kids with nothingto do.” The thefts began w'henan 18-year-old attempted toreform a defunct gang in thevicinity of 35th and StateStreets, which is the locationof the I IT stop on the JacksonPark-Howard line and the siteof most of the crimes. “Heused juveniles to do his leg-work, like snatching pursesand chains on the platformsand near the stations,” saidHanley. Five offenders havebeen charged with felonytheft, and another eight — in¬cluding two adults — havebeen arrested and chargedw ith robbery. Two of the juve¬niles, arrested last week instrong-arm robbery at¬tempts, received six-monthsuspended sentences andwere released.RenovationBy Hilary TillAfter undergoing nearlytv/enty-one months of renova¬tion, Kent Chemical Labora¬tory will probably be openedwithin several weeks.When the laboratory is offi¬cially opened, it will be a“showpiece,” stated ElioMartina, project architect ofthe University’s PhysicalPlanning and Construction of¬fice. “Anyone who goes in(the lab) is going to be im¬pressed,” added the archi¬tect.The present restoration ofKent is the first major reno¬vation of the building since it “It’s a long, drawn-outprocess,” Hanley said “Wehave to get them to flip oneach other to find out wherethey’re hanging out.” One ofthe gang’s leaders waswounded in a shooting in lateDecember, and another is incustody for an alleged assaultand battery in which anotherman was shot.The murder of the youth atthe 58th Street stop, accord¬ing to Hanley, was simply acase of someone “being in thewrong neighborhood at thewrong time.” The police ar¬rested one suspect, but had torelease him because their in¬formant allegedly has a nar¬cotics habit, w'hich discountshis testimony and preventsthe city from pressingcharges on the basis of his in¬formation.Hanley said that the MassTransit Unit has deployed K-9patrols to trouble spots, in¬cluding the IIT stop, wheremost of the thefts occurred,and the 55th Street stop,where tw’o patrols were onduty Tuesday morning.“We use these dogs all overthe city, especially in highcrowd situations or highcrime sections,” said Hanley.He said the dogs provide “agood deterrent because oftheir pursuit ability” and gen¬erally see use at O'Hare Air¬port.The K-9 force, which in¬cludes 12 dogs, allows the of¬ficers to patrol platforms,trains, and the areas aroundstations, because the dogs at¬tack only on command. Thesedogs work exclusively withinthe Mass Transit Unit.Hanley warned that eventhough this gang activity rep¬resents a flare-up with externuating circumstances such asthe school strike, the JacksonPark-Howard line mustalways be used with caution.was constructed. No addi¬tions were made to the labo¬ratory: “all constructionwork was done in the existingshell of the building,” saidMartina.The task of renovating Kentalso included cleaning up lowlevels of residual radiation.According to a University-spokesman, the majority ofthe radiation is thought to bedue to the work done by theUniversity in the ManhattanProject during WWII. (Thecode name for the Universityof Chicago’s participation inthe Manhattan Project wasthe Metallurgical Project.) and anyone assaulted on CTAproperty should notify the po¬lice immediately. Some peo¬ple simply don’t report the in¬cidents. and Hanley said “wefind this to be the case espe¬ cially with students; they justdon’t want the notoriety.” Hestressed the importance of re¬porting incidents, because thepolice need as many tips aspossible to hold potential tro-money was due to be turnedback to students who had soldbooks through the exchange,and the profits to SG (20c abook) were to be used torepay SGFC loan to the Stu¬dent Services Committee.SSC sponsors the book ex¬change and was immediatelyresponsible for the handlingof the money.When SSC chair Rose Leenoticed the loss she immedi¬ately told Hill. Hill said in aninterview Wednesday nightthat at the time he thought heknew who had the money, andhe had wanted to keep thematter “in the family,” andsimply get the money back.The book exchange cashbox has no lock and was keptin an unlocked cabinet in theSG office. Students who hadnot picked up their money atthe site of the exchange with¬in a set period of time weredirected to the SG office,where one of the SG officerson duty would make the dis¬bursement. Hill said this isthe same procedure that hasbeen used in past book ex¬changes. and pointed out thatthe incident took place duringthe Ida Noyes renovation uble areas in check.• For University responseto these incidents, and to pub¬lic transportation safety ingeneral, see page 4.when there were workmen inand out of the building.It wasn’t until finals weekof autumn quarter that Hillcontacted the person he su¬spected, whom he refuses toname. Hill then became con¬vinced that he or she was in¬nocent, and that same weekLee and SG Vice PresidentBrad Smith told the FinanceCommittee what had hap¬pened. That was the firstSGFC meeting Lee had at¬tended since Thanksgiving.University Security still hasnot been notifiedSGFC were unsure how toproceed — normally theywould freeze a group’s ac¬count and investigate, but itwas clearly too late for that.They finally decided, in ameeting last Wednesday, toput the matter before the Stu¬dent Assembly and the stu¬dent body, and contacted theMaroon that evening. SGFCchair Rick Szesny was asbentfrom that meeting: he hadfallen on ice near his homeand was in Billings Hospitalwith a concussion.

But under re¬cent, more stringent guide¬lines enacted by DOE, thecontamination levels werejudged too high.The level of radiation inKent (and other Universitybuildings), though, was neverperceived to be a health haz¬ard by government investiga¬tors. The clean-up of the re¬sidual radiation in Kent wasfinished over a year agoConstruction is now about99 9% complete, according toMartina. Last-minute, finish¬ing touches are all that re¬main, he said. For example,final balancing of the ventila¬tion system remains to bedone, stated Lynn Bender, thedirector of the Physical Plan¬ning and Construction office.The large lecture hall inKent 107 has been used as aclassroom since fall quarter,and several more rooms onthe first floor will be turnedover for use today.

TheReports consist of a series of changesto the College curriculum proposed bythe Task Forces formed to study dif¬ferent aspects of life in the College. Thefollowing is a brief synopsis of themajor proposals offered by the TaskForces.The Task Force on the FreshmanYear proposes that Orientation bechanged by: offering a “ProgramsDay ’ tor the Core courses, deliveringthe Aims of Education Address in theSpring when it may mean more, and byteaching the history of the College togive pride to the incoming neophytes.It proposes to change the residencehalls by housing Freshmen closer tocampus, and possibly by creating anall-Freshman dorm. It also proposespossible curricular and extra-curricu¬lar classes meet in residence halls, andit suggests “special interest” tables indining halls to bring students’ curricu¬lar interests closer to home. Finallythis Task Force proposes the followingchanges to registration: require pub¬lished clarity for courses that makespecial demands on students’ time,give more attention to AP tests andother means of “placing out”, requirea uniform policy for accreditationacross divisions, and substitute nation¬al tests for College placement tests.The Task Force on the Senior Year.responding to the problem that very lit¬tle marks the senior year as a specialexperience, proposes a Senior TutorialProgram in which one to six studentswork with a teacher on highly individu¬alized projects. Two years after legis¬lation some project would be requiredfrom all seniors, but the range of pos¬sibilities would be great. They proposethe following seven categories: 1) LabTutorial, solve a research problem 2)Research Tutorial, research paper inany concentration 3) Reading Tutorial,in-depth analysis of a single work 4)Writing Tutorial, research and writeabout any subject 5) Journal Tutorial,analyze an active line of research 6)Performance Tutorial, artistic perfor¬mance 7) Intership Tutorial, go into thereal world then write about it. Theother major proposal by this TaskForce is that CAPS be upgraded by ex¬panding the career library, adding astaff member for Seniors, developing acomprehensive internship programand circulating a Senior Questionnaireto determine the career wants of thesenior class.The Task Force on Foreign Lan¬guages proposes to eliminate the dif¬ference between language require-Fee hike passes inFive of Dean O’Connell’s six pointActivities Fee plans were approved inthe Student Government University¬wide advisory referendum held lastquarterThe closest result occurred in thevote to increase the Activities Fee fromfive to ten dollars.

They propose thata proficiency and accreditation com¬mittee be formed to decide on profi¬ciency goals, test students for profi¬ciency while not allowing them to placeout of a year, and choose what pro¬grams to accredit. They also proposedcredit for study abroad, with some lim¬itations. of course.The Task Force on Mathematics de¬sires an all-College requirement in“math and quantitative studies” withat least one sequence tailored to needsof Humanities majors. They also pro¬pose a Computer Lab be built, whichwould cost $250,000 with an annual costof $60,000 unless computer companiesdonate the computers.The Task Force on History and Cul¬tural Studies seeks to expand a non-Western Civ requirement to the wholeCollege in an effort to combat students’ethnocentrism. They also suggest thatthe staffing problem for Western Civbe addressed.The Task Force on College Writingcalls for a University-wide writing pro-referendumCommittee, urging Student Govern¬ment to specify in greater detail its cur¬rent guidelines for granting funds tostudent organizations, and calling onthe Major Activities Board to usesurveys and quarterly reports to bringbroad appeal entertainment to the stu¬dent body.The only point of the proposal to bevoted down was the plan calling for theActivities Fee to be indexed to increaseat a rate roughly consistent w’ith infla¬tion.

They suggest this be accom¬plished by requiring a one quarterwriting class or perhaps a two-course,one quarter sequence covering “Howto Read and Write at the CollegeLevel”. If no required course can bedeveloped, they suggest that thereshould be more and better preparedwriting tutors, that workshops for writ¬ing teachers be developed, and that prizes be awarded for best studentwriting. This Task Force asks thatteachers who do not require writing doso, as all material can be writtenabout. Those teachers that count writ¬ing quality in the grade should tell stu¬dents and should teach writing throughfirst drafts that may be revised.The Task Force on Course Electiveswants greater clarity in defining elec¬tives by not counting math and lan¬guage requirements as electives, andthey suggest that the “second quartet”be examined.The Task Force on Research andGuided Inquiry seeks to offer moreavailable, structured research proj¬ects to undergraduates without suchprojects being mandatory. They pro¬pose an Office of Research Opportuni¬ties complete with director, staff, bud¬get from the private sector, and anannual publication, this project beingloosely based on the one established atMIT.The Task Force on Creative Work inthe Arts calls for a College-wide re¬quirement in the creative arts, similarto that now required of Humanitiesmajors. All students should be “re¬quired to have significant contact withthe creative arts”. Regarding extra¬curricular acitivities, the Task Forcewants better, more rational funding,better facilities, more creative arts instudent housing and more informationavailable on extra-curricular activi¬ties.The Task Force on Physical Educa¬tion desires to strengthen the presentone year requirement by eliminting thepossibility of placing out. They wish todevelop a curriculum composed of onelecture/discussion course on physicalfitness and health and two activitiescourses.The Task Force on Registration andAccreditation offers no major changes,but they suggest a more flexible accre¬ditation system be explored to betteraccount for the discrepancy amongcourses in their demands on students'time.THE JOSEPH R.SHAPIRO COLLECTIONIDA NOYES HALLBring UCID & $10WITHOn display:January 165 pm-9 pmDistribution:January 174 pmTake A NumberStarting At 8:30 amSAO - 962-9554The Chicago Maroon—Friday. January 11. 1985—3□ Safety: What can be done?Public transportation safety is always in the back of one’s mind in anurban setting, but at the University of Chicago only Orientation lecturesand a few security pamphlets serve as reminders of the extreme cautionone must use in riding public transportation in Chicago.Stories of gang violence on the Jackson Park-Howard El, however,should reinforce the idea that caution must be used when travelling intoChicago’s more dangerous areas. The city’s gang presence, visible tomost perceptive CTA riders, remains a constant threat, and the story ofthe youth who was shot on the 58th Street platform — “he was at thewrong place at the wrong time” — shows the randomness and unpre-dictably of the violence.Ken Sawyer, residence head of Henderson House, has wondered whatrole the University can play, and what role the Maroon can play, in in¬forming students of the problems on the El lines, and how the Universitycan act as an agent for change to make the area near 55th and Calumetas s. e as it made the area along 55th Street in Hyde Park with its urbanrenewal programs of the 1950’s and 1960’s. Since many University stu¬dents, faculty, and staff use the Jackson Park-Howard and the Lake-Dan Ryan lines frequently, it seems the University should have someresponsibility toward keeping the stops near campus safe, according toSawyer. The welfare of students, after all, is the University’s interest insuch matters.University responsesJonathan Kleinbard, University vice-president for news and commu¬nity affairs, said that the Southeast Chicago Commission (SECC) hasbeen talking with the CTA and the Chicago Police Department sinceSeptember regarding several five late-summer University related in¬cidents at the 55th and Calumet and 51st and Calumet stops, and regard¬ing El safety in general.“There are certain problems of manpower with the CPD which stillhaven’t been addressed,” Kleinbard said.As for the El lines, Kleinbard believes that “students should use itwith caution, and certainly never alone at night.” He added that in theday one should use the El with caution or with others, and at night oneshould consider the possibility of using an alternate means of transpor¬tation. “I don’t think there’s good protection,” he said.The Maroon now receives crime reports from the CPD, and contactsthe CPD and SECC on any trends or serious crimes committed in HydePark or in areas heavily used by members of the University communi¬ty. Because the Maroon has only received these reports since late No¬vember, we have only one example of what we plan to do when we noticesuch trends: today’s front page story.The Maroon feels an obligation to inform the community about poten¬tially dangerous areas in Chicago. That obligation works two ways,though. If you know of any incidents, or have been criminally assaulted,don't keep it a secret. Don Yabush, of the CTA’s public affairs division,said sometimes the fear of crime is worse than the crime itself. Well, theMaroon is not advocating paranoia, but rather common sense.Don’t give theconvicts the jobsTo the Editor:Those who need jobs in Chicago areout of luck unless they are convictedcriminals. There is another societysaving plan in the works by Big JimThompson and his brilliant staff that isgreat for criminals, but not for the tax¬payers of Illinois.Big Jim plans to open up a privatelyowned jail with “counselors” insteadof guards in the middle of one of thehighest crime areas in the city. Why?Why? Why? This jail, oh excuse me, Imean this Community Human Devel¬opment Center for soon-to-be-releasedcriminals will be used for remedial ed¬ucation, vocational training, and thera¬peutic counseling. How nice that thescum of our society, the criminals, willbe taken care of so well. The people inthe community will be able to jointhese friendly fellows for recreationand even job training all at a net sav¬ings to the taxpayer. How wonderful. Iam sure the gangs will stay far awayfrom this center because they will sup¬ port the wonderful work it will bedoing. And even if they do not I am surethe “counselors”will scare all the drugdealers and gang recruiters away;they will use the same force of veteranChicago cops who work the real com¬munity development centers known asthe Chicago Housing Projects. Well,maybe they will be nicer than a cop be¬cause we want the “counselors” toease these scumbags back into ourlovely communities with as little trau¬ma as possible. We do not want them ina bad frame of mind to mug or rapesomeone.Let’s get serious or better yet, let’sget smart. We do not have unlimitedresources and the resources we dohave should be passed out to those whodeserve them before they are given tothose who do not. I mean the guy whorobs, rapes, or steals should get his, ifand only if, the law abiding citizen getshis first. Job training provided by thetaxpayer must go to the guy who hasfollowed the rules and lived peaceablyin our society, not the guy who beatsthe taxpayer and then rapes his daugh¬ter. I would rather help those who usereasonable conduct toward their fellowman than those who have already shown that they will not.If what I have said is not reasonenough to stop this foolishness than sobe it. People get what they want inAmerica and we, the Illinois taxpay¬ers, are surely the best example ofAmericans who get what they want.We get less police and more ciminals,short prison sentences and more vio¬lent crimes, less civil rights and morecivil wrongs, higher taxes and evenhigher politicans, and all because wewant it this way or do we?Sincerely,J.K.

TheBlood Bank honors its donors this Jan¬uary, the National Volunteer BloodDonor month, and extends heartfeltthanks to all who share their blood forthe sake of others. Approximately 52percent of the donors at the Universityof Chicago Blood Bank are students.Most of these donors give more thanonce a year.For a leukemia patient, a traumaPhys Ed: MoreBy Milton EderIn the “Project 1984 Report on Physi¬cal Education” (pp. 175-199 of the Nov.1984 Report of the Task Force) thecommittee recommends an expansionof the physical education requirementto include “a topically organized lec¬ture/discussion course” and “two ac¬tivities courses.” The report suggeststhat “placing out” of the gym require¬ment by performing above certainstandards in athletic test situationsshould no longer be allowed. In short,“Our intention is to provide a balancedand truly broadening experience thatwill increase the chances of maintain¬ing physical activities and fitness laterin life” (p. 193).As for myself, a past U of C varsityathlete fond of Dr. Browne’s HUNZAchips which proclaim “health is ouronly real wealth” and believing alongwith the task force report that a level offitness which allows for an active lifeenhances life, the present plans to re¬make the Ida Noyes gym into a theatreare particularly disturbing.Other than the Henry Crown FieldHouse (HCFH), Bartlett gym and IdaNoyes are the only other facilities forthe physical fitness of the Universitycommunity. Quite simply, anyone whouses Bartlett has experienced how de¬crepit the gym is and recognizes a vari¬ety of physically unsafe conditions.Both the gym floor and upstairs trackhave numerous ‘dead’ spots. Bartlett isa cramped facility in which activitiesoverlap in space, creating areas forcollisions and injuries. Finally, the re¬strictions on space can and have creat¬ed a violent situation with individualsintimidating and actually fighting withone another to remain ‘on the court’and avoid having to sit down for 20 min¬utes to an hour to play basketballagain.Students rarely go over to the IdaNoyes facility to use the gym with itspresent restrictions on availabilitywhich require a group to register withthe SAO and reserve a time slot to usethe gym. The facility is an old one butthe floor is excellent — and if the gymis destroyed the floor should be movedto Bartlett. Still, the gym is in need ofsome improvements if it is to be a ‘safefacility’ for today’s level of competi¬tiveness among students and friends.In two corners of the gym and imping¬ing on the playing surface are threefoot high railings which protect indi¬viduals from falling down stairwayswhich lead to the basement. Along oneside of the room two other stairwayslead downward about five feet to thelobby. About two feet from the courtsare walls of wood and brick on allsides, similar to the gyms in an ele¬mentary school. In at least these manyways, the current condition of the gymposes problems for those seeking a fa¬cility in which a group can engage inindoor recreational activities.The beautiful and modern HCFHwith its additional 42,000 square feetThe Chicago Maroon is the official student newspaper of the University of Chicago.It is published twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Intercollegiate athletics have ex¬ victim, someone whose liver hasstopped functioning properly—life de¬pends on the generosity of others. It de¬pends on blood donors who willinglyand selflessly provide their own bloodso that others may live and thrive.Medical science has made miracu¬lous progress in disease prevention andtreatment. We can now save lives thatonly a few years ago would have beenlost to cancer, heart disease, to injuryor to deterioration of vital organs andtissues. But much of this scientific gainwould be useless if the injured and theill did not have access to the contribu¬tion that only people can make: the giftof blood.Volunteer donors contribute 100 per¬cent of the blood and blood componentstransfused to patients at the Universityof Chicago Medical Center. Donationshave increased 400 percent at the Uni¬versity of Chicago Blood Bank since1981. However, we still have a long wayto go to supply the full needs of the Uni¬versity of Chicago Medical Center.The Blood Bank asks for your contin¬ued support of our blood donor pro¬gram. Let us urge you to sign up for thenext blood drive so that you too canmake the gift of blood.Gail BorchersMarily LordBlood donor recruitersovercrowdingpanded, especially with the increasednumber of women’s teams; the intra¬mural program will continue to growas the enrollment in the College andgraduate schools expands. Finally, ifthe fine suggestions of the Task Forcecommittee are taken up in earnest, useof the physical education facilities willincrease through the additional re¬quirements and increased participa¬tion of all students. If the proposed pro¬gram successfully achieves its goals,then students would continue to use theathletic facilities in even greaternumbers.Where are all these students to go?The Field House is booked up with var¬sity practices in the afternoons andwith intramurals most weekdaynights. What little available court timeexists at HCFH is often taken up by thesame individuals, which provides foran interesting study in group dynamicsbut a not necessarily open situation forthose who are more casual in their at¬tendance. Bartlett’s one court cannotnow handle the overflow from HCFHwith more than 20 people at a giventime for a game which requires 10. Touse Ida Noyes one must plan for the en¬tire quarter in the first week and obtaina commitment from enough peoplethat a reservation can be made.The situation must be recognized asserious; except for late hours or piece¬meal occasions between scheduledevents there is little opportunity forstudents to get together and throw orkick a ball around. Even intramuralsmust exclude many due to limitationsof facilities and the fact that not every¬one can play. If there are 40 people in aparticular dorm house and six or eightcan assume the court for a volleyballgame then it would be optimistic tothink that as many as 20, or half thehouse, could participate. In many in¬tramural competitions the number ofentries must be limited due to spaceand time considerations.Last fall’s outcry over the plight ofthe Ida Noyes gym quickly diminished.One does not know if this quiet is due tolack of interest or resignation. It is dif¬ficult to measure the value of a remo¬deled facility and its potential use. Thestudents who currently use the gym,few as they may be in number, derivesatisfaction from their activities, emu¬late the commitment to fitness whichthe physical education task force re¬port enunciated, and would probablybe without any facility if the Ida Noyesgym is closed. I began this article withresignation for I have already seen therenovation plans for the gym and as¬sumed that mine would be another un¬noticed voice. When the wrecking ballswings and the gym is no more, withBartlett dilapidated and dangerous,where will the students go for theirphysical exercise and fun? If the plan¬ning committees have solved theseproblems, then they can turn IdaNoyes gym into a theatre. If theseproblems are to take care of them¬selves later, then stop before it s toolate to turn back.Nuclear war and suicide pills: preparation for capitulationBy Jeffrey BennerLast October, students at Brown Uni¬versity attracted national attention forpassing a referendum demanding thattheir student health center stockpilesuicide pills for use in the aftermath ofa nuclear war. James Koebelman,member of the group which sponsoredthe resolution, wrote a “Viewpoint”(October 26,1984) defending the resolu¬tion. This piece, delayed for space con¬siderations, was written in responsejothat Viewpoint.Mr. Koebelman’s nuclear freezeapology is simply astonishing, as is thedescribed proposal. The Brown Univer¬sity “suicide pill” proposal rests, asdoes his article and indeed the entireanti-civil defense argument, on thisproposition (excerpted from hispiece):Hoping for survival is dangerous,because it makes the idea of nu¬clear war more acceptable, andthus increases the chances that itcould occur.”This always has been and remains anunsupported proposition. Need I re¬mind Mr. Koebelman and his friendsthat the United States annually spendsabout 50 cents per capita on civil de¬fense. The Soviet Union, on the otherhand, spends (by all estimates) be¬tween 8 and 20 dollars per capita, an¬nually. on their civil defense program.This is an incredible ratio. If, as the ar¬gument goes, civil defense spending isa positive arms race input, then the So¬viet civil defense effort is by magni¬tudes 'assuming some degree of lin¬earity) a far stronger arms raceaggravation than US civil defense pre¬parations. Moreover, Switzerland,hardly with the reputation of a mili¬taristic or adventurist nation, spends 11dollars per capita on civil defense. Andisn’t Sweden known internationally forits excellent peace initiatives? Indeedit is, but Swedish civil defense expendi¬tures are comparable to the Swiss pro¬gram. Mr. Koebelman, your alarmist argument just doesn’t wash.Mr. Koebelman might retort that,sure, the USSR shouldn’t have thatcivil defense program, but the respon¬sibility for change starts at home. Thatstatement is like the Republican Partyplatform which attempts to establishan increase in sales taxes, which sup¬posedly tax all alike because all areconsumers. The fact is that sales taxdoesn’t tax all alike; it hits the poor farharder than the rich. As far as civil de¬fense spending it concerned, the“change starts at home” argument isjust a copout.We could hardly begin to catch upwith the Soviets in civil defense spend¬ing and infrastructural development.And do you, freeze supporters, honestlybelieve that the Soviets will, as a peacegesture, do the following: 1. Un-educate their school chil¬dren. who all undergo many hoursof nuclear war survival train¬ing?2. Dismantle the hermetically-sealed, blast-reinforced Moscowsubways, or unstock thousands offully stocked Soviet national fal¬lout shelters? Or dismantle nu¬clear-hardened industrial facili¬ties?3.

KingNow that college plus/minus gradinghas appeared for the first time on re¬port cards, members of the Universitycommunity are speculating about thenew system’s effects on student atti¬tudes and grade point averages.Herman Sinaiko—dean of students inthe College and vocal supporter ofplus/minus grading—anticipates thata statistical evaluation of the new poli¬cy will be done shortly. He hopes thatsuch an investigation will put an end towidespread undergraduate fear thatstudents will now get lower grades andreceive more graduate school and em¬ployment rejections.“Some students feei we are puttingthem through a torture chamber,” Sin¬aiko pointed out. There’s a tendency toproject anxiety onto the situation. I un¬derstand the nervousness. But whatI’m trying very hard to say, and asloudly as I can, is that the concern is demic records. Before plus/minusgrading, a student could have beenplaced on Dean’s List (3.25) by earn¬ing, for example, an A- and 3 B-’s (a2.95), since the minuses would not havebeen allowed to subtract from the in¬teger grades, when asked ifplus/minus grading, for all intents andpurposes, raised the GPA required forDean’s List from 2.95 to 3.25, Sinaikoresponded, “It’s highly unlikely any¬one would be in such a situation. Andeven if it were true, you could probablywork it out to go the other way. I’msure students who have made Dean’sList in the past will not make it thisyear. But equal numbers will go theother way.”“And who cares about Dean’s Listanyway? It’s not going to keep youwarm or get you a job,” he snapped.Wendy Wylegala—a fall quarter Col¬lege student agreed. She observed, “Idon’t think plus/minus really matters. not real. It reflects the tremendouspressure young people launching theircareers feel.”“Let me tell you,” Sinaiko continued,“a Bachelor’s degree from the Univer¬sity of Chicago is a Bachelor’s degreecomparable to only 4 or 5 other schoolsin the country like Yale, Harvard,Stanford, or Columbia. We have avery, very high medical school accep¬tance rate. Eighty to ninety percent getin. It’s as good as any school in thecountry. We also have a very large pro¬portion who go on to law schools.”“The fact is, the evidence provesthat those who want to go to good gradschools and try reasonably hard to getthere—I’m not talking about supermenor superladies, just students—get in.Not every kid who wants to go to Har¬vard or Stanford law schools gets in.But that’s true of any school.”Sinaiko also addressed the notionthat the new system will blemish aea-Aurora.

When questioned, Khannasaid, “I don’t think that the pageantasks too much of the women. There is auniversal understanding of what isgood moral character. I had to sign astatement saying that I had never mar¬ried or given live birth. I didn't feelthat this was too difficult.” I don’t think worrying about lowergrades is the point. The point is thatgrading will be more accurate.”“Reaction’s been mixed,” reportedWoodward Court Student GovernmentRepresentative Bruce Poser. “A lotfelt it hurt them because they got lowergrade: B-’s instead of B’s or C-’s in¬stead of C’s. But I actually benefitted. Ithink it balances out to some degree,but I can’t really substantiate that withanything other than personal opin¬ion.”Burton-Judson representative ScottDurchslag said, “I think plus/minusgrading punishes the best students,whose A-’s will lower their grades (pre¬viously, an A- would have been record¬ed as an A, 0.3 points higher). Let’sface it: the University of Chicago hassome serious deficiencies, moreserious than it is willing to admit, whenit comes to graduate school admis¬sions, in particular, to law schools. At astudent assembly, Dean Sinaiko madewhat I thought was an appalling com¬ment. He said something to the effectthat graduate schools don't really careabout grades!”“I’m not trying to sound obsessedabout grades,” Durchslag added. “I’mjust saying that we should look at pres¬sure felt by students. Why implement apolicy which will not change anythingbut increase the pressure?”Second-year political science studentDan Sakura threw his two cents intothe debate. “I think it (plus/minusgrading) just clutters up the reportcard It’s aesthetically unpleasant.”“If they’re going to cio it, sakurasuggested, “they should start it for thefreshmen. My year should stay on theold system.”Drawing from his years of teaching,Sinaiko concluded with one more swipeat those losing sleep over the minus inplus/minus grading: “We’re talkingabout the substance of an education. Idon’t give a damn about grades. I wantwell-written papers, students whothink, and people who can talk aboutAristotle’s Ethics.”Student competes for Miss Illinois titleBy Russell A.

This year, the ef¬fort was more organized; since Sep¬tember, the children in the after-schooltutoring program have been carryingnotes home, warning parents to beready to send their kids to the Universi¬ty of Chicago instead of the publicschools, and to make sure that the chil¬dren brought their books home withthem in the event of a strike. Theteachers at the local schools had beenasked to delineate three weeks worth ofwork for their students in advance, sothat the children would know what tostudy during a strike.W’hen the strike came, the office ofspecial programs opened Ida Noyeshall to the students and taught themwith special programs personnel andsome volunteers free of charge. The in¬struction covered the full range of the high school curriculum, from math toEnglish to biology. Those students whoknew what work had been prescribedby their teachers were aided in thatwork; those who did not were tutoredin their “weaknesses” as determinedby the staff.This venture cost about ten to fifteenthousand dollars, or about 50 to 75 dol¬lars for each of the two to threehundred students, for the duration ofthe strike. Money was provided by theUniversity and through fundraisersheld by the students.Though Mr. Hawkins claims that“We had a lot of problems in the begin¬ning,” with the Chicago Teacher'sUnion, he notes that the union has sinceignored the entire affair. The currentofficial position of the union is that “ifteachers want to teach during a strike,that’s their business.” eluding 22 bars and taverns. Today,Jimmy’s is the only bar left on thatstreet.The objectives for owning so muchproperty in Hyde Park and Kenwoodare not purely economic. Kleinbard ad¬mitted that the local properties weren’tespecially lucrative and that there aremany other more profitable in¬vestments available. The reason forbuying the Hyde Park ShoppingCenter, said Kleinbard, was to“enhance the commercial ambiance”of the Hyde Park community. Ac¬cording to Kleinbard, the Universityencourages prestigious stores to openbranches in Hyde Park. Recently, theuniversity participated in the negotia¬tions that brought the gourmet storePiccolo Mondo to the Windemere, abuilding once owned by the University.The University holds year-to-yearwith almost all of the businesses thatoccupy their buildings. Kleinbard ex¬plained that this gives them maximumcontrol over the property. Rare excep¬tions to the year-to-year lease may bemade when a tenant makes a large in¬vestment in the property. Jimmy’s wasable to obtain a five year lease afterthey agreed to put in a new kitchen andplumbing. Steve Friedman, owner ofCampus Foods, invested $80,000 toremodel, but only in the half of thestore he owns, making him, like mosttenants, ineligible for a longer lease.Exchange programs startsSG Theftcontinued from page oneSGFC said they do not feel that Hillmishandled the affair exactly, but theycertainly don’t understand why he didwhat he did, and they aren’t satisfiedwith his explanations.W’hen questioned about the time lagbetween learning of the loss and con¬tacting the person he suspected.

After all, the Chi¬cago Maroons — the Division III, Mid¬west Conference Chicago Maroons —had taken a 10-2 lead over the Wildcats,to the surprise of 1800 fans in W'elsh-Ryan Arena as well.Though the Wildcats eventually cap¬tured the victory, 7449, the Maroonsrose to the occasion in the first of aseries of December games against Di¬vision I and Division II opponents. Bal¬anced scoring from the forecourt andfrom guard Rob Omiecinski kept Chi¬cago close until four minutes remainedin the first half, when the Wildcats ranoff a 12-3 stretch of points to take a31-19 halftime advantage.Northwestern then received helpfrom freshman Shon Morris. Havingplayed only a few minutes in the Cats’opening four games, Morris poured in17 points to push Northwestern furtherahead in the second half. The 6-9 fresh¬man has since become a mainstay inthe Cats’ lineup.The Maroons’ and Wildcats’ De¬cember 8 meeting momentarily rekin¬dled a rivalry which had been dormantsince 1942, when Chicago still played inthe Big Ten Conference.Chicago also posted victories overLake Forest and Concordia, and trav¬elled to the West Coast to face St. Mar¬tin’s and Puget Sound, before facingDivision I Northern Iowa at the end ofDecember.Puget Sound, whose schedule in¬cludes nationally-ranked Oklahoma,defeated the Maroons, 63-50, and St.Martin’s edged them, 52-48. NorthernIowa then capitalized on Chicago’s poor foul shooting and occasionallapses on offenses to take a 58-41 victo¬ry.“If this (schedule) doesn’t prepareus for the conference, I don’t knowwhat will,” said Maroon assistantcoach Jim Hargesheimer. “Weshouldn’t fear anybody in our confer¬ence, and we can beat everybody if ev¬eryone of our guys comes to play.”Against Northern Iowa, Chicago alsocontrolled the opening minutes, and leduntil the seven minute mark. “Our of¬fense is predicated on burning peoplewhen they overplay,” said Harge¬sheimer, “so we spooked them a littleat the start.” The Maroons convertedonly 10 of 21 free throw attempts,though, and missed easy lay-ups asNorthern Iowa moved ahead.Nick Meriggioli “played the mostconsistently” of the Maroons duringthe December games, according toHargesheimer. Meriggioli, a senior tri¬captain, had 14 points against PugetSound, and a team-leadihg 16 againstSt. Martin’s. Frank Caeser and AdamGreen also saw more playing time inthe games.As for the upcoming conferenceschedule, Hargesheimer said theMaroons need “to win in our own back¬yard” to stay in contention for the title.The four-game January homestandstill includes Beloit tomorrow night,and Illinois College and Knox nextweekend, but even if the Maroons winall of those games they still have toface conference powers Beloit and St.Norbert on the road.“They aren’t superteams, though,”Hargesheimer said. “We can beatthem up there if we put our minds toit." Maroons to face BeloitBy Frank LubyDespite a tough schedule through themonth of December, the University ofChicago men’s basketball team findsitself “in a hole” in the Midwest Con¬ference title race, and that hole maybecome deeper if Chicago doesn’t“take care of business” against Beloittomorrow night.“We’ve got to take care of businesswhen it counts,” said Maroon headcoach John Angelus, whose team, now4-6 on the season and 1-2 in the confer¬ence, faces Beloit tomorrow evening at7:30 p.m. at Henry Crown FieldHouse.The Maroons fell into their hole lastSaturday afternoon, when St. Norbert— the defending conference champions— edged Chicago in overtime, 65-61.“We didn’t have good concentration,”Angelus remarked, adding that“there’s a certain time of the gamewhere you just got to get the jobdone.”The Maroons led by as many as sixpoints in the second half, but the GreenKnights outscored the Maroons 19-7over a ten minute stretch to take a 50-44lead with 6:43 remaining in the game.Andy Arians, who eventually fouledout, had eight points in that span, whileTodd Kornely canned two long rangejumpers.Sophomore forwards Tom Redburgand Dave Witt came alive in the finalfive minutes to erase the deficit. Wittscored two baskets off passes fromRedburg to knot the score at 50, andRedburg later took a pair of feeds fromcenter Keith Libert to score two bas¬kets, including a bank shot which tiedthe score at 57.Norbert stalled in a four corner of¬fense for the final minute of the game,and eventually tried to free Kornelyoutside for a final shot. Redburgblocked Kornely’s 18-footer with twoseconds left, however, and theMaroons grabbed the rebound to forcean overtime period. In the overtime, Mark Weninger’stwo free throws gave St. Norbert a63-61 lead with 26 seconds remaining.Libert missed a turn-around jumper onthe Maroons next possession, and Wen-inger took the rebound. Rob Omiecins¬ki fouled him, and Weninger sank thetwo free throws to ice the game.Libert shot only 4-for-15 from thefield, and Angelus described the per¬formance as a “slump”.“You better believe I’m upset,” An¬gelus remarked. “If he plays half-de-cently, we beat them. If he plays wellwe blow them out.” He then added, “Ihope we can come out of this this week¬end, because a strong win would put usback on track.”Beloit, Chicago, and St. Norbertshould contend for the conferencecrown, but Angelus refuses to lookbeyond toward Lake Forest and Ripon,and a much improved Lawrencesquad. “The only game we’re playingis the next game,” Angelus said. “Wehave to win these one at a time becausewe’re not in the driver’s seat now,we’re in the rumble seat.”Angelus has felt pleased with the re¬cent play of Redburg, Witt, and seniortri-captain Nick Meriggioli. For Beloit,however. Angelus said that “the benchhas to play a strong game — nothingfancy, but just keeps us in the game.”Beloit features All-Conference for¬ward Mike Clinton, whom Angeluscalled “one of the best players in thisconference,” and should run its patternoffense and get the ball in Clinton'shands as often as possible. They pressfrom time to time, and Angelus said “ifhe puts up the press too soon, he couldbe in trouble. When he puts that presson, we have to blow the game open.”Angelus also said that he may havesome surprise starters for tomorrow’sgame, and expects a close matchup.“Historically we play them in two-point games here,” Angelus said. Chi¬cago edged the Buccaneers, 53-51, athome last season.Women’s B-ball reboundsBy Geoffrey SherryThe women’s basketball team re¬turned to action and upped its record to4-3 last Tuesday with a convincing 52-44victory over Illinois Benedictine Col¬lege. Senior point guard Karen Walshled all scorers with 19 points, whileGretchen Gates and Wendy Pietrzakadded 16 and 14 respectively.In a game featuring 40 foul calls, theMaroons outslugged IBC using tena¬cious defense and a successful array ofpresses. Head coach Kevin McCarthynoted, “We played well. Although ourshots didn’t always fall in, we made upfor it with sound, fundamental de¬fense.”Chicago controlled the tempo of thegame with sharp passing and adeptball handling. Walsh kept the Maroonsin control by consistently breakingIBC’s shoddy press. “Karen is playingwith a lot of confidence now and it’s es¬sential that we dictate the tempo. Shedoes that for us very well,” addedMcCarthy.Although fouls and turnovers domi¬nated much of the second half, Chicagodid not avoid getting physical with abigger team from IBC. McCarthy thinks that learning to play physicalbasketball has “earned us some re¬spect.”After dipping to 2-3 with a disappoint¬ing loss to conference foe Ripon Collegeon December 8, the Maroons recoveredwith a 59-36 trouncing of Concordia Col¬lege of Ann Arbor to cap off fallquarter. The Concordia game featuredthe 1,000th career point of two-time All-American Gretchen Gates.“Gretchen is, in my opinion, the bestwomen’s basketball player ever at theUniversity of Chicago.” remarkedMcCarthy.Such strong words are not withoutjustification. Gates led the team lastyear in total points, blocked shots, re¬bounds and free throw percentage.However, McCarthy is the first topoint out that this year’s squad is not aone player team. “If we are to be suc¬cessful, we must gel as a unit and I feelthat we have done that in the Concordiaand IBC games.”The Maroons hope to avenge twolosses from last year as they travel thisweekend to take on Augustana andAurora Colleges.Varsity SchedulesWomen’s BasketballJan. llFri.—Augustana College Away 7:30 p.mJan. 12Sat.—Aurora College Away 4 p.m.Men’s SwimmingJan. 11 Fri.—North Central AwayWomen’s SwimmingJan. 11 Fri —North CentralJan. 25 Fri.—Lake Forest College AwayAwayWomen’s Indoor TrackJan. 16 Wed —Intersquad (Varsity, UCTC)Jan. 30 Wed.—UC Women’s Invitational HomeHomeMen’s Indoor TrackJan. 19 Sat — U Michigan Road Relays AwayWrestlingJan. 12 Sat.—Carroll College Tournament Away12 The Chicago Maroon Friday, January ii, 1983The Third String What? Joe D. not the Yankee Clipper Lift up your heads 0 ye gatesA recent CBS/New York Times poll has revealedthat America’s favorite pastime may no longer bebaseball. According to the poll an overwhelmingmajority of Americans prefer to watch footballmore than anything else.Although it is true that almost all Americans(that is, good Americans) like baseball, there arestill more football fans. I mean to use fans in thesense of fanatics, and the followers of football cancertainly be described in this way.The game of football is attractive at every level.High school and college teams attract sell-outcrowds under all conditions. The same cannot besaid about baseball. Most high school and collegeteams can get nary a ripple, let alone a wave, fromtheir fans.The same is true on the professional level. Tail¬gate parties last for hours before a football game,while baseball fans stroll in a few minutes beforethe first pitch. Baseball is followed casually bymost Americans while football is followed closelyby only the diehard.There are many reasons for these differences.Let’s face it, it is very hard to get intense for 1/162of a season. However, I feel that the difference infree agency structures in the two sports is the realcause for the true lack of enthusiasm for baseballthese days.In football, free agency is anything but free. Sign¬ing a free agent costs a team two very valuable firstround draft choices. As a result, very little playermovement occurs which helps fans identify with ateam. A case in point is Walter Payton. Last yearPayton was a free agent, yet no NFL team made anoffer for his services. A player is likely to spend hiswhole career with the team which drafted him. Afan can give his heart to a team and be assuredwhomever he is rooting for he is actually rootingfor.Not so for baseball. With free agency, players areconstantly changing their uniforms. The game re¬tains its charm, but the names and faces meannothing. Fans go to a game to watch, not to root.Who can support a team that is constantly chang¬ing, and as a result has no character?This lack of loyalty in baseball can be characteri¬zed by the changing New York Met fan. Recently afew Met fans I know have been lamenting the insur-gence of modern times upon their Mets, such as theacquisition of big name, big contract players likeGeorge Foster, Keith Hernandez and Gary Carter.Prior to these moves the Mets had always put to¬gether their team through the farm system andsmall trades. Although they were not always suc¬ cessful, they were always well-loved. The Met fancould always count on his team’s being familiar,and being familiar meant being different.Met fans loved being Met fans as much as theyloved the Mets. Now that the Mets have entered themodern era of baseball, they are no longer uniqueand being a Met fan is no longer as special. Theymight as well be rooting for the Houston Astros.Although some Met fans may argue that the Metsstill have a lot of farm talent on their team, they canno longer be guaranteed that stars like DarrylStrawberry or Dweight Gooden will be on the teamafter they become eligible for free agency.Although the Yankees have had their share of ca¬sual fans over the centuries, I was always a devoutone, until I couldn’t keep up with the roster changesanymore. They put Omar Moreno in pinstripes andexpected me to think well of it. Now they at least gotRicky Henderson in stripes, but I don’t care to thinkabout the whole situation anymore. Players changeuniforms so much, it’s hardly worth getting at¬tached to any team.If the present state of baseball had existed 40years ago Ted Williams would be famed for his longdrives in Yankee Stadium and Joe DiMaggio wouldnot be the Yankee Clipper. —CFSo 60 people did not vote for L. Brock in the recentHall of Fame balloting. I find that very difficult tobelieve and understand. I know that some fools didnot vote for H. Aaron, and that some sub-humantypes did not vote for W. Mays and J. DiMaggio.But what’s the big problem with granting unani¬mous election. Since it is only baseball that we’reconsidering, there is no reason why unanimouselection should not be a common occurrence. Cer¬tainly major deities like J. and W. should receivethe unanimous stamp of approval, but subordinategods such as Brock should not be denied it either. Itdoes not make sense and is not fair to withhold avote from a more-than-worthy candidate who mightotherwise by unanimously elected just because noone but the original five inductees have been unani¬mously sent to the Hall.Brock, for instance, could not have done anymore for baseball than he did. He led his team totwo World Championships, and in three WorldSeries set the all-time batting mark at .391. He al¬most single-handedly changed the stolen base froma freakish frill to an acceptable form of offense. Hedrove himself to his greatest personal achieve¬ments at the stage in a normal career when thingsare supposed to be winding down, as he set his ver¬ sion of the seasonal stolen base record at age 35,and brought himself back from hitting .221 in hispenultimate season to hitting .300 in his final seasonallowing him to reach the 3000 hit strata. He accom¬plished all of these things while being a gentlesportsman and an articulate spokesman for base¬ball.It is more of an insult to Brock that he did not goin unanimously than it would have been to the origi¬nal five inductees if he had. It would not have takenanything away from their legends if Brock hadjoined them without dissent, for their legends werecomplete before the doors at Cooperstown had everbeen opened. This truth points to the true purpose ofthe Hall of Fame, which is to reward and institu¬tionalize legends, not to create them. The writersget to create legends whenever they sit at theirtypewriters. When voting, they should not overlooktheir own handiwork.Of course it is too late now to begin issuing unani¬mous passes to the Hall The BBWWAAAAAA hasalready profaned the concept of unanimous electionby denying it to J. and W., who deserved as muchas or even more than anyone else whoever played.To begin letting players unanimously enter nowwould be even more insulting to them. Since there isno existing body besides the writer’s union to runthe selection process, maybe one should be organ¬ized.Baseball can use an authoritative body that nei¬ther takes its own functions or the purpose of theHall of Fame too seriously. Since baseball is not theonly concern of western, and more recently east¬ern, man. and, at any rate, the least troubling con¬cern, I say that there is little need for a lone writer,or 60 lone writers, to take the task of revisionism onthemselves. Let one thousand legends bloom, andlet them all march on equal footing through thefront door of the Hall.One of my unionized coilegues from the Tribunerecently bemoaned that Hall of Fame balloting haddegenerated into a popularity contest. First, this isnot the case. Second, it should be the case. If it isunanimous that every kid whoever took an extra¬base on the strongest arm in the neighborhood fan¬cied himself as L. Brock, or. whoever fielded aground ball. B. Robinson; or. whoever tried battinglefthanded felt obliged to windmill the bat at 97m.p.h. in the manner of W. Stargell, then let thebaseball writers be just as unamious in their vot-Dennis A. ChanskvCraig FarberSwimmers to try to overcomevacation layoff tonightBy Doug ShapiroThe beginning of winter quarter maybe a time for most of us to relax andenjoy the weather before the academicworkload grows deeper than the snow,but the men and women on the Maroonvarsity swim teams have been far toobusy to watch the snow fall this week.Their workload has already gottendeep. . . in the water. With a month’svacation not far enough behind themfor comfort and their first meet of thequarter scheduled for this evening atNorth Central College, they’ve beenscrambling to get back into shape. Twoworkouts a day have been the rule allweek, as coach Bean concentrates onreviving his team’s conditioning withan eye towards the remainder of theseason, while also preparing for the im¬mediate threat of tonight’s co-edmeet.The meet promises a strong opponentwhom the men, at least, have alreadyfaced once this year. The North Centralmen’s team finished just ahead of theMaroons in the 10-team extravaganzaof the Hawk Relays at I IT in mid-November (N.C. finished 4th, U of C5th). That all-relays meet tends to mea¬sure depth over individual strengths,however, and tonight’s meet shouldstill be challenging for the men, withseveral good matchups. Freshman RayCullom will be shooting for his nextstep towards a Nationals qualifyingtime in the 200 yd butterfly, whilesprinter Mike Ruddat will be lookingfor a strong showing on his first returnfrom last quarter’s “relatively-inac-tive-due-to-course-overload’’ list.Coach Bean has the team trainingstraight through the meet, with longworkouts and little time for circum¬spection. He has an optimism forstrongjpdividual performances afford¬ed to him in spite of the long break by the men’s first two meets in the fall,which featured two new school recordsand several career-best times. At theIIT meet, the relay teams of Cullom,Bob Denby, and Ben Forest (300 yd but¬terfly) and Phil Cacheris, Everett Lee,and Jim Stansbury (300 yd breast¬stroke) set school records in theirevents, and Cullom also swam an im¬pressive race for his first attempt atthe 200 yd butterfly in the medley relay.At the Loyola Duels meet in December,freestylers Doug Cipriano and MikeMulroy both swam career-best times,in the 1,000 yd and 100 yd events respec¬tively.If the men’s team’s past record bodeswell for them tonight, however, con¬sider the women’s team. Their 3-0 re¬cord acquired during the first four daysof December represents many top per¬formances as well. In their three-waydual meet on the first of the month theytopped U. Missouri-St. Louis with ascore of 54 to 39, and simultaneouslydominated North Park College by 67-23.Three days later they swam NorthPark again, in an unofficial meet atBartlett Gym, to win their third dualmeet 63-32. Both meets were showcasesfor the nationals-promising butterflyerTina Ellerbee with firsts in her 100 ydevent each day, and for sprinter LesleyHam who similarly dominated hercompetition in both the 50 and 100 ydfreestyle events.Unlike the men’s, the women’s oppo¬nents for tonight’s meet are untried byChicago, but the Maroon’s strong re¬cord so far promises good perfor¬mances from all despite the long monthoff. While their first three meets wereagainst relatively weak teams, to¬night’s meet should challenge thewomen just as it will the men. Eitherway, we should see an auspicious startfor the quarter’s competition.

Obviously there’s a big dif¬ference between what that titlemeant in the forties and fifties andwhat it means today. Guy and Wellsare really only leaders by their localpopularity, not their influence, andfor the Chicago Blues overall, themargins of both popularity and in¬fluence have shrunk considerablysince the heyday of Wolf andWaters. But the importance of thismusic in defining a large part of thiscity's culture and history is still unig-norable, even (or perhaps especial¬ly) in the music's present day incar¬nation as practiced by Junior Wellsand Buddy Guy.

The enormousfield of work represented spansseveral decades, many nations andthree floors of the MCA. All thework is from Chicago collections,though, so it varies greatly in quali¬ty and interest. It’s as if the showwas only accumulated, and notcurated; precious little discriminat¬ing selection is evident. The grea¬test problem with the show is in thearrangement of works — they areseparated by individual artist. In¬stead of serving to illuminate theunderlying unity of these works, orthe relationship between the formermovement and the latter, the ar¬rangement of the show serves onlyto emphasize the vast paradoxeswithin these movements, and pro¬mote confusion and alienation.

These did notstrike me as original statements, but the editorsuggested that I “write it ups-4s an Op./Ed. pieceand submit it to the Times*' I replied that anyserious criticism of the bourglidis press would cer¬tainly be intolerable to that presis, but he dismissedthis reservation, and so foaphly I did write thepiece. - |HSome weeks later my maaifecript was returnedwith a form letter thanking m$|for submitting it andregretting that it could not be mused; it was signed“The Editors.” About this same time, the piece wassubmitted to the Internatiotilm Herald Tribune inParis; after a much longer wiping period it too re¬ jected the essay, on two grounds; (1) The style wastoo ‘ academic,” and (2) The paper was already“oversubscribed in the areas oftic policy analysis.” It is possiblence to its decision to run a reguthe most accomplished masshistory, Henry Kissinger, whossiding over 3,500 bombing missexecuted by the U S.

By lavish^- ahenfion on the*drama, failing to make obvious oSticisms, speakingabout it with respect and emrijpsizing the “clearchoice” before the electorate, the media insinuatethat the show is politics, and th|j|lbmy doubts aboutthe show are doubts about the ftfieaningfulness ofpolitical engagement.Essential to the process of mercerizing the publicand innoculating it against poliSHel life is the re¬striction of debate controversies!^ those which donot disturb the framework of the Jtwo-party system— what Gore Vidal has ^alfp the “PropertyParty.” To take the debate on fflflign policy as anexmpale, the panelists’ questlljis invariably as¬sumed the validity of the cliche^ihat make up thepremises of Cold War ideology. questions put toReagan were slightly more subeafvient than thoseto Mondale, in some cases inclU^ig a prefatory as¬sertion of the wisdom of ReagarVi^policies. A ques¬tion on Central America begaft-^y claiming thatReagan's policies in the region ‘^pemed to be work¬ing” and went on to characterize the revelation ofthe CIA terror manual as “extraordinary,” imply¬ing that the latter somehow represents a departurefrom what has in fact been a consistent policy ofterror and warfare against Nicft&gua (or, as the media put it, “Nicaragua’s leftist government”).The same panelist questioned the propriety of hav¬ing the CIA “investigate itself,” again pretendingthat the CIA action was in sowith U.S. policy and that thetrolled by the Executive.Reagan was also asked to liJglfthe countries sovital to U.S. “national interests”®at he would con¬sider using troops if they werefllin danger.” Thequestion artfully sidesteps th^/tnore interestingand important matter of how |f|b Executive hascome to what is in effect a global! military occupa¬tion of historic dimensions, or a|||y what right theU.S. unilaterally decides that “d»gers” to its "in¬terests” allow it to threaten, te®rize, and invadecountries too weak to respond in j»d.Against the evidence, the rnl§ia persist in re¬peating the central cliche of the||tld War: That theU.S. is” -a uniquely principled international actorwith hands so clean that evidendllbf U.S.-organizedterror is regarded as “extracrbfjhary.” It is nowonder, then, that panelists in M debate actuallycriticized Reagan for not being as§§|uch of a bully indeed as he is in word, voicing cppern that Reaganmay have emboldened “terrorifB” by failing to“retaliate” aganst them. Add raffled to the manwho has armed official and unc|®:ial terrorists allover the world, the question is s^Kily absurd: Rea¬gan has emboldened terrorists ^paying for theirweapons, not by failing to retai£§e against them. The absurdity went unnoticed, however, as didReagan’s revealing comment that we should honorthe memory of the Shah of Iran because he “did ourbidding”, in the Middle East.Such questions cannot be addressed, for fear ofthe discussion becoming politically meaningful andlosing its value as a deterent. So long as candidatesof both parties, and their interlocutors, go to suchlengths to pledge allegiance to the prevailingmythology, political discourse will remain fore¬closed.With politics effectively detered, there is nothingsurprising about Reagan's popularity, which isbased largely on his ability to satisfy the anti-polit¬ical drives of his audience while simultaneouslysupplying it with a vivid political fantasy. Onemight speculate wildly about the psychologicalsources of the Reagan vote, but in a society whereThanatos and the horror film play a prominent rolethere is one disturbing possibility that should notbe overlooked. Until now we have not seen the realReagan, freed from the constraints of re-election, asituation that invites comparison to the part of ahorror film when the monster is lurking in the vicin¬ity but has not appeared. Often this generates aperverse need to see the monster revealed andthereby overcome the anxiety of anticipation — adisturbing thought in a society where political real¬ity and media fictions have become so frighteninglyconfused.3rd AnnualDonuts for DonorsNow through January 18thCall 962-6247For Appointment University of ChicagoMedical CenterBLOOD BANKMitchell Hospital, Room TW0015841 S.

During the pastyear he has been working in the U.S. in anattempt to inform the American public andmembers of Congress about what is goingon in Guatemala. Molina cannot returnhome. If he did, he would "disappear” —be abducted, tortured, and murdered. Dur¬ing a recent discussion at the University ofChicago, he told us, "The conflict we arefearing in Central America, the holocaustof Central American youth, will come if thetrigger of the military interventionistsslips. So the key role of the U.S. is "to" or“not to” (escalate militarily). We are run¬ning out of time, so it is urgent.. Academiccommunities might try to take the time todo something.”Molina was a member of a national tourwhich was organized by the Federation ofCentral America Universities (CSUCA). Theother visitors were Ceferino Sanchez,President of the University of Panama,Humberto Lopez, President of the NationalAutonomous University of Nicaragua, Os-waldo Ramos Soto, President of the Na¬tional Autonomous University of Hon¬duras, and Herman Discua, a law studentfrom Honduras. On September 26, they vi¬sited the University of Chicago and we hadthe opportunity to speak with them. Thesegentlemen have temporarily stopped theirnormal academic pursuits, and Sanchezbegan by explaining why: "We undertookthis tour of Mexico, the U.S., and Canadafor two main reasons. First, to tell the aca¬demic communities, our peers in universityadministration, and students of thesecountries, that the situation in CentralAmerica is very dangerous, that this situa¬tion could lead to a wider war...The only alternative to the impendingcrisis is the Contadora initiative and weare promoting it, even though we are notofficial representatives (of Contadora).We promote Contadora as an alternativeconcerned about the security of the coun¬tries and about self-determination, aboutpolitical negotiations, socio-economic de¬velopment and non-intervention...”The second main reason of the visit wasto promote a collaboration on academicterms with the U.S. academic community."On that issue we are most interested inopening the doors of graduate schools inthe U.S. for our faculty. We have 350,000students at the six universities and weneed to better train our faculties. We arelooking for ways to do that with the finan¬cial limitations we have to bear.”A large part of our conversation wasabout the problems universities in CentralAmerica are facing, like a shortage oftrained faculty and insufficient funds. Butmuch of the discussion was about the esca¬lating war, a crisis of which the universi¬ties’ problems are a tiny part. For examp¬le, we asked about freedom of speech andcensors lip witnin the universities. Thereply was that there is relative freedom ofspeech in Panama, Honduras, and CostaRica ' "only a few” disappearances hap¬pen per year. Molina elaborated, "In Gua¬temala and El Salavador you have a stateof terror. The students can say whateverthey want within the university, but theyknow that the first time they go out, atany moment they could be kidnapped. Soall the liberties disappear.”Indeed, Amnesty International esti¬mates that between 10.000 and 15,000Guatemalans have been murdered by themilitary during 1982-83. The CatholicChurch in El Salvador has tabulated thenames of 37,882 civilians which were mur¬dered by the military during 1979-1983.1During 1984, air raids on civilian popula¬tions in the zones controlled by theFDR/FMLN have escalated to daily bomb¬ing, including the regular use of napalmand white phosphorus2 (white phosphorusburns under the skin for 18 hours aftercontamination, with no possible respite).For example, in March the Air Forcedropped an average of 30 bombs per day.The zones of control have complete self-government apparatus, and most of the in¬habitants are civilians. The helicopters,napalm, and training provided by U.S. mil¬itary and economic aid to El Salvadoramounted to $130.5 million 1:981* *, and$473 million in 1984.5Sanchez pointed out that the problemsfaced by the educational system in CentralAmerica are only a small manifestation ofhard underlying socio-economic problems.Throughout this century, he continued, theU.S. has supported a small wealthy elite.“The U.S. has been the dominant factor inCentral America for a long time; it is some¬times called the backyard of the U.S...inour own countries we haves society stra¬tified with dominant groups, that is verydifficult to change. When these changeshave happened the U.S. afwaya went tothe side of thn established group to main¬tain thedomfcwtii class.”(For example. United Fruit and die CIAengineered a coup In Guatemala in 1984.•7 The poputerty elected president. Ar- AN INTERVIEW WITHUNIVERSITY PRESIDENTSbenz, was replaced by a military junta.During the coup, over 9,000 Guatemalanswere arrested and tortured, and 533trade unions were abolished.* Of course, itis very hard to get estimates of thesenumbers. When speaking to political refu¬gees from Guatemala, they point out thatno one really knows the number of pea¬sants massacred in remote villages. Some¬times a single survivor wil escape with atale of atrocities.)The wealthy elite has controlled the gov¬ernments and the economy with U.S. aid.The bulk of the population has gottenpoorer, unemployment and malnutritionhave risen dramatically. “Every day thereis a widening difference between the onewho goes to a university and the one whonever has a chance to go to the first grade.That is the social change which has to bemade in Latin America...” The govern¬ments have had to use military force, tor¬ture, and assassinations to keep the popu¬lation quidt.The U.S. has persisted in viewing ail so¬cial movements as part of an East-Westconflict, Sanchez added. This ignores thereal problems which the people of CentralAmerica are trying to solve, “the U.S. hasto learn that change has to happen, andthose changes will have a very nationalis¬tic atmosphere." The visitors repeatedlysaid that the Central American peoplemust have the right of self determina¬tion.There is a sharp contrast between thesituation in Nicaragua and in the other na¬tions. The new Sandinista government hasshown that it is committed to upgradingeducation, and more generally, the stan¬dard of living. (For example, the literacyrate has increased from 43% to 85%. Be¬tween 15% and 25% more staple foodshave been grown compared to productionduring the Somoza regime. Vaccinationcampaigns against malaria, polio, dipth-eria, and measles have reached 90% 0*the population.) Dr. Lopez said that since the revolution, the government pays foreducation, and the student population hasdoubled. The curriculum has shifted tomeet the needs of the country, for examp¬le, training more doctors and engineers.When asked about academic liberty in Ni¬caragua, Or. Lopez stated that "persecu¬tion of students and faculty has ended.”He went on to say that during the recentelection campaigns, Nicaragua has under¬gone "intense political activity” in whichall idealogical tendencies participate.Still, educational institutions in Nicara¬gua have the same problems of severeshortages as to other Central American na¬tions. Most of Nicaragua's infrastructurewas destroyed during the prolonged waragainst the Somoza government. FurtherSomoza fled with most of the nationaltreasury and left a giant foreign debt.Currently, the U.S. is funding a force ofabout 10,000 contras who conduct terror¬ist attacks on Nicaraguan civilians In1983, Reagan authorized $19 million forsupport of the contras,* $24 million 1984.'°and the CIA acknowledged responsibilitylor mining the Nicaraguan coast thisspring.” in addition, approximately $10million tor contra aid has been collectedfrom private corporations, “includingsome large, well known companies,” and anumber of foreign governments includingArgentina, Israel, Taiwan, and Guatema¬la.'*“The present military situation prohibitsthe students from acquiring the necessaryeducation that he deserves. The studentswould be ready to leave their studies ifthe Situation turns to war...” (Lopez).The visiting CSUCA members are urgingcompliance by the U.S. with the Contadoratreaty. One important provision of thetreaty is that all arms flow to CentralAmerica stop. In real terms this meansthat the U.S. stop supplying arms. U.S. mil¬itary aid to Central America for fiscal year■ 4 totaled $316 million.* On the otheriu id, U.S. intelligence sources have not\ 1! S'xfV!*/: ***?fillSi *" i. i - been able to find a flow of arms from out¬side El Salvador to the rebels, e g. from Ni¬caragua or the Soviet Union U.S. militaryobservers have found that the guerillasuse arms captured in combat or bought onthe black market.’* The U.S. has trainedover 24,100 soldiers for the Central Amer¬ican dictatorships during 1962-82.* Thetraining emphasizes counter-insurgency(e.g. air wars on peasant villages) and in¬terrogation (torture techniques).A second term of the Contadora treaty isthat all foreign troops and military advi¬sors be withdrawn from Central America.The Big Pine II joint U.S.-Honduran mili¬tary maneuvers during June ’83 to March’84 involved approximately 5.000 U.S.combat troops, 19 ships, and over 400 air¬craft.* Since then, U.S. troops have beencontinually stationed in Honduras on"maneuvers.” $25 million was allocated infiscal year 1984 specifically for the Hon¬duran regional training center.5 U.S. mili¬tary advisors in El Salvador are playingan increasingly important role. U.S. pilots,based in Honduras, are aiding in bombingand target searching flights over El Salva¬dor.*Sanchez said that the U.S. tradition ofsupporting the oppressive oligarchies wasnot even in the interests of the U.S.As popular opposition to these oligar¬chies grows, the U.S. is finding itself in aquagmire of military commitments. Cer¬tainly, it is not in the interest of the Ameri¬can people to promote continued warfare.War in a "Third World” location such asthe Middle East or Central America, is per¬haps the most likely way for a nuclear warto start.When we hear about the atrocities hap¬pening in El Salvador, Guatemala, andHonduras, a question immediately arises:why is the U.S. supporting the military dic¬tatorships of these countries? The adminis¬tration often tells the American public thatwe are in Central America to protect de¬mocracy and bring peace. The briefestlook at the evidence — e.g., figures onmurder, torture, malnutrition, and politi¬cal freedom, compiled by everyone fromChurch workers to the U.S. government —shows that this is blatantly false. The U.S.State department also says that we areprotecting U.S. interests in Central Ameri¬ca. It is certainly true that throughout thiscentury the U.S. government has inter¬vened militarily in Central America to pro¬tect the interests of U.S. businesses likeUnited Fruit and Bank of America. TotalU.S. direct investment in Central Americawas $4.2 billion 13 and bank loans totaled$3.3 billion ’* in 1980. Over 150 U.S. basedmulti-nationals have investments in Gua¬temala.’5Dr. Lopez concluded. “It is very difficultfor us to see education, health, and agri¬culture separately, which is why it is diffi¬cult for our universities to be distant fromour problems....Dialogue is the most im¬portant way to resolve problems in ourarea. The purpose of our visit (is to empha¬size this) and we wish to convey some sortof solidarity with you...We don’t come heras representatives of Contadora. but itseems like the logical thing to do. Our visitis an initiative of the universities them¬selves.”And Dr. Soto added, “What we are real¬ly worried about is that the people of theU.S. have no real comprehension of thetrue situation of our countries. Throughouthistory they have underrated our people,our countries, and our moral and tradition¬al values. I think that the U.S. must changeits attitude...(so) that you consider ourpeople just like any other person — some¬one from Iowa or Idaho, because we are allmembers of the great community.”Footnotes1.

Even if seeing a live play isakin to viewing painting of centuries pastone cannot help but be taken away by thebeauty of a masterpiece. A work of artconceived in such intricate detail cannotfail to say something to us about thehuman condition even if the mode of ex¬pression is not thoroughly appropriate tothe late 20th century. Such a masterpieceis on view through this weekend at theSteppenwolf Theatre, Anton Chekhov'sThree SistersSteppenwc f has chosen a new transla¬tion by the American playwright, LanfordWilson, for the production. Wilson allowsthe everyday nature of Chekhov’s lan¬guage to come through clearly. The dia¬logue is far from the artificiality of laterplaywrights such as Beckett or Ionesco.The voices of the characters are those ofreal people; people whose hopes and de¬sires are recognizable as our own. Thestory centers on three sisters, Olga,Masha and Irina, whose father was anArmy officer who many years ago uproot¬ed them from their home in Moscow andbrought them to live in a small provincialtown where nothing ever happens. The fa¬ther died leaving them in this backwatersurrounded only by other Army officersand the petty bureaucrats of the town.The sisters can think of little else than oftheir return to the gaiety of Moscowwhere life will begin again for them.Meanwhile, Masha marries Kulygin, awell intentioned but ridiculous school¬teacher and Olga takes a job, also as ateacher. And so begins the erosion of theirdreams and hopes into nothing more thanfantasy.Three Sisters is no melodrama or come¬dy of manners; it is the very opposite of anintellectual exercise — rather it is thetheatre of feeling. Chekhov’s charactersfeel and force us to feel as well. His talentas a playwright is to keep us on the levelof feeling throughout the shifting destin¬ies of the characters. He takes us from theexhiliration of first love and the joyfullaughter it creates to the emptiness ofcrushed lives where the only sound wehear is that of a stifled cry.The “poetic realism” of Chekhov is theinsistence of presenting both tragedy andcomedy — he refused to bow to the artifi¬cial idea that a drama could only be onething at a time; comedy, tragedy, farceetc. Life is not made up of one element at atime — rather it is a constant struggle be¬tween life and death. Chekhov states thisboldly by beginning the play with the cele¬bration of Irina’s (Moira Harris) nameday, but it is also the first anniversary oftheir father’s death. Life and death, hopeand despair, coexist eternally strugglingfor primacy.The tragedy of the three sisters is thatthey live entirely in the past and in the fu¬ture; *hey are unable to accept the miseryof the present. The sisters long for the par¬adise they have lost — the Moscow of theirchildhood where everything was right.They long for it but do little else — theyare swept away by the circumstances ofthe present because they refuse to acceptThe Three Sisters, Masha, Olga, and Sweetbuns them. They are at the mercy of their envi¬ronment and their dreams.'The play takes place over the course of afew years, but very little happens in theseyears; the sisters languish as they watchtheir brother marry a dreadful woman,and watch the coming and going of armypersonnel, the most notable of whom isVershinin who falls deeply in love withMasha. Vershinin represents the othertendency of the characters who avoid thepresent; he is concerned only with the fu¬ture. He conceives of his suffering as build¬ing a foundation of a perfect world somecenturies down the line. His vision of Uto¬pia become more powerful than the pro¬saic elements of his life, particularly aneurotic wife who periodically poisonsherself. The love he and Masha find foreach other tears them from their dreamsand forces them into confronting their reallives with their very real spouses. The un¬happiness they experience is, however,too strong for them and they each returnto their dream worlds — Masha to an idea¬lized past and Vershinin to an imaginedUtopia.The only character who lives entirely inthe present is Natalya, Andrei’s wife. Sheis entirely a creature of comfort; greedy,manipulative and cruel. She is content inthis world and trods over the dreamerswho surround her. She is a tyrant of thehousehold who provides a sharp contrastto the sleepy longing of the sisters. Hereagain their vulnerability to the world isrevealed.Chekhov does not swing his charactersaround like puppets to prove some pointor “moral.” There is no easy truth pro¬duced for immediate consumption — thereis only the struggle of life versus death.He does not pretend as author to have an¬swers to people’s problems — he onlyoffers to share the search for meaning, forvalues.The beauty of his writing is this; thecharacters seem real and full — they arebeautifully conceived and portrayed. Butat the same time the characters blend to¬gether into a single voice — expressingtheir longing for knowledge or faith forsome sign from somewhere that their suf¬fering has some meaning.This subtle balance of individual and en¬semble performance is admirably done bythe Steppenwolf actors. The actors wereobviously comfortable with each other,never vying for attention as might be ex¬pected with such a large cast. Moira Harrisas the deeply troubled Masha is stunningin her balance of resignation and rest¬lessness. Rondi Reed as the loathsome Na¬talya is perfectly bitchy and inconsiderate— a Russian Joan Collins.The direction by Austin Pendelton is in¬visible as I believe it should be in a pieceas rich as Three Sisters. There wasn't ajarring moment in the entire three hourproduction. This extra ordinary prod¬uction will be closing this weekend.
