The Chicago MaroonVolume 94, No. 34 The University of ChicagoCrewe constructs powerful probe Friday, February 15, 1985Albert Crewe has developed plans for a microscope withthe most resolution everBy Helen MarkeyProfessor Albert Crewe ofthe Physics Department hasbeen granted $500,000 fromthe Chicago Tool and Die In¬stitute (T & DI) towards on¬going work on the construc¬tion of a high-poweredelectron microscope. Profes¬sor Crewe designed the mi¬croscope himself to viewatoms at one-half an ang¬strom, as opposed to the cur¬rent 2.5 angstroms which thebest microscopes views.T & DI, a local metalworki¬ng company, designs andmanufactures machine partsfor many companies out oftheir 40 member companies.They are currently makingthe specific parts to suitCrewe’s design to a precisionof 20 millionths of an inch, agieat deal better than the ex¬pected 50 millionths of aninch.Crewe, who came to theUniversity of Chicago in 1955,built his first mega-micro-scope in 1965. During the pasttwo years Crewe has led aproject which should result inthe world’s strongest magni¬fier. Like the Scanning Elec¬tron Microscope (SEM) thatCrewe invented, this micro¬scope focuses a beam of elec¬trons onto an atom, whichthen bounce off and form animage on a screen. By usingelectrons instead of lightwaves, the microscope cansee between atoms.The microscope, if suc¬cessful, will surpass the abili-By Alex ConroyIn honor of the Kuviasung-nerk winter festival, the rela¬tively new' Junior College ofComedy, a creation of Hen¬derson House, has decided tocamp out during the week-nights of Kuviasungnerk.Every member is required tospend at least one night out¬doors in order to “graduate”because the actual collegecampus for the junior collegeis on University Avenue nextto Pierce. ties of the current Japanesemodel at University of Cali¬fornia at Berkeley. Thismodel is only slightly moreprecise than Crewe’s own1971 electron microscope,perceiving images at 2.4 ang¬stroms. The new model,which weighs more than twotons, will have five times theresolution of the Berkeleymodel and contain a 200,000-volt power supply. In addi¬tion, it will feature severalstructural improvements in¬cluding digital circuitry andcomputerization.In 1983, Crewe received a$990,000 dollar grant from theNational Science Foundationand $1 million dollars worthof computer equipment fromIBM. With a limited budget,Crewe was to be manufactur¬ing parts at the University’smetalworking shop. By goodfortune, Crewe met a T & DIexecutive at a cocktail party,and evoked his interest. Bothparts seem to be benefittingfrom the project, T & DI insparking a waning industryup, and Crewe in taking an¬other step forward in the tool-and-die field, now consideredin the technological world al¬most obsolete.

And their workwith T & DI is going full force.On the decline, T & DI nowsees a brighter future for thiscompany, partially due to theunexpected skill whichdrafters have displayed inproducing precision parts. T& DI currently suffers short¬ages of metalworkers. Com¬ments Braker, “People im¬mediately get the image of asmoke stack, sweat-shop typeof business. . . some shopsare like being in scienceclass, working with sonicgrinders and lasers. . . thisfield is a cross between thecreative and abstract think¬ing of engineering and thedexterity of manual labor.”(Chicago Sun-Times, Dec 9 1984).Many of the workers arevolunteering their time to as¬sist this project.If the microscope is suc¬cessful, which Crewe feels“90 percent sure” that it willbe “in two years.” it would beused probably extensively inmaking stronger metal alloysthat Austria became a“model economic state.”Today, the unemploymentrate in Austria is 4 percent,according to Zeisel, thelowest in the West.

More re¬cently, last year’s visiting committee(a group of trustees and interested out¬siders) began to look into the subject ofstress management at the University.They were given a presentation bymembers of the various help organiza¬tions on campus — the Hotline, CAPS,Student Mental Health, and others. Thecommittee found the session informa¬tive and it was decided that a similarsession should be presented to the stu¬dents. In order to cut down on numberssomewhat, the invitations were limitedto the newest undergrads, the fresh¬men and transfers.Dean of Students Charles O’Connelllisted the goals of the recent stresssymposia:• to aquaint the student with avail¬able resources, on campus dealingwith stress management,• to let students know that they arenot unique in feeling stress, and• to tell them that stress does notlessen after college; therefore, life con¬sists of coping with stress, not alleviat¬ing it.Other administrators felt that thesecond point was especially crucial.According to Dean of Students in thecollege Herman Sinaiko many studentsfeel that, “If you need help, you’re notgood enough,” or as a student at a sym¬posia put it, “You can’t save both yourass and your face.” Connie Holoman,director of student housing, hopes thatthese seminars will help students seethat “I’m not alone when I feel understress,” and that “to seek help is not asign of weakness, but a sign ofstrength.” As Sinaiko mentionedagain, “The only thing wrong withneeding help is if you can’t get it.”He is of the opinion that stress isespecially prominent among under¬ graduates at the University of Chicagobecause of the large faculty, and thefact that the college is situated within aresearch university where graduatestudents outnumber the undergradstwo to one. Communication, for in¬stance, is not completely effective, be¬cause it is tailored to graduate studentsand faculty who work in small close-knit groups. The undergrads, constant¬ly scattered about the entire campus,and often in motion, need more exten¬sive communication.Marlene Richman, an administratorat CAPS, feels that much of the stressis caused by the change of environmentand the loosening of ties with familyand old friends. Sinaiko added thatthere is an abundance of stress in col¬leges nationwide because of the econ¬omy and difficulty in securing a goodjob.Career and Placement feels that, al¬though University of Chicago studentshave the advantage of a prestigiousname, some of the stress involved withapplying for a job or choosing a jobcould be alleviated if students wouldbegin thinking about a career andusing the CAPS facilities before theirsenior year. The stress symposiashould serve to inform the students ofthe availability of CAPS, Student Men¬tal Health, the Hotline, etc. early onand encourage use of these organiza¬tions.O’Connell found, through the Hotline,that a major problem which causesstress is alcoholism, and both Alcohol¬ics Anonymous and Al-Anon have beenasked to hold open informative meet¬ings on campus. He hopes that aid foranother big problem, bulimia, will beforthcoming in the near future.Sinaiko explained several preventa¬tive measures recently taken to ensurethat stress is reduced before it begins.These include the Autumn and Kuvia-kungnerk festivals, the end-of-the-quarter reading and review periods,and the winter holiday. “They are ways of saying ‘ease up’,” said KatieNash, associate dean. “One of the waysof dealing with stress is to have fun: asmuch as you can get away with, ” Sinai¬ko addedThe first stress symposium at Bur-ton-Judson was lightly attended consi¬dering that all freshmen and transferstudents were invited, but those whowere there enjoyed the experience, ac¬cording to various panel members.“There were a couple of very vocal stu¬dents who said, ‘This is right on tar¬get,’ ” Richman commented. Somestudent attendees suggested that the presentation would be more successfulif it wa? rnoie convenient. As a result,Lie administration and student hous¬ing, “put the show on the road,” as Sin¬aiko said, and planned smaller sympo¬sia in tut residence halls. The first ofthese was heln at Pierce. Many inter¬ested staff members attended also.Their participation, although positive,might have proved to intimidate stu¬dent participation slightly according toHoloman. so participation of staff waslimited at the following Shoreland sym¬posium. and students seemed moreverbal.Senior turnout aids yearbookBy A1 KnappBolstered by a good turn-out of se¬niors for portraits, the yearbook staffhas now earned enough pages to makepublication of the book worthwhile.However, problems remain in stirredhouse and campus organization partici¬pation in the yearbook.In a special agreement with DellnaPhotographers, if the yearbook hadconvinced 200 seniors to have their pic¬tures taken, the staff would be reward¬ed with a prescribed number of pages.This quota has been reached. JayVogel, editor-in-chief, said that 322 se¬niors had their pictures taken. Theseseniors can pick up their proofs in 1-2weeks. The photographers will returnon February 25 and 26. Any seniors dis¬satisfied with their proofs can havethem retaken, while anyone missingthe first dates can be photographed.Vogel stressed that the seniors areunder no obligation to buy the pic¬tures.As the number of seniors having pic¬tures taken increases, so do thenumber of pages the year book re¬ceives from Dellna. If 400 seniors arephotographed, the staff will reach an¬other goal and the rewards will in¬crease. Steve Henn, a staff member, pointedout that the major difficulty up to now;has been from “organizations andhouses not responding” to requests forcopy. While the staff was able to get agroup picture of every house, thehouses themselves have been slow inreturning the prose which will accom¬pany the picture.Vogel noted that several requestshave also been made of the student or¬ganizations around campus. Unfortun¬ately, only 16 have responded. Vogelsaid that there has been moderate diffi¬culty in arranging for pictures of theclubs since most have erratic hours.Vogel believes that with the staff hehas now they can “do it <put the bookoutHowever, he feels that more peo¬ple can always be used to write copyand structure lay-outs. Henn addedthat they have “a core group ofworkers who have pretty much re¬mained the same.” Both agreed thatthere has been no major problem withquitting, but that naturally there aresome changes.Anyone interested in working for theyearbook should contact Jay Vogel ordrop by the yearbook office on the sec¬ond floor of Ida Noyes Hall.Textbook DepartmentUniversity of Chicago Bookstore970 E. 58th St.962-7116Textbook Orders forSpring QuarterFebruary 22nd is thedeadline for Spring 85textbook orders.If you are teaching nextquarter, please send us yourorder today.

Dr. Rogers found¬ed this Center as a result of his beliefthat the traditional medical model ofpathology did not hold true for thosehaving problems in solving theirvarious experiences in life. From thebeginning (it is said — although Iwasn’t around then!) there was ani¬mosity towards the Center from medi¬cally oriented departments and divi¬sions of the University for fairlyobvious reasons: the Center was notstaffed by psychiatrists nor psychoan-alytically or biochemically trainedpersonnel. The Center specialized inproviding what Rogers called the “nec¬essary and sufficient” conditions forpsyhotherapy and personality change,among them openness, warmth, andempathy. Students, faculty, staff, andmembers of the Chicago communityquickly became clients at a place theycould trust. Some came even from out¬side the geographical confines of Illi¬nois.Students trusted this Center becauseno information was given to any othermember of the University communityabout anything that was going on intherapy, this was probably problemat¬ic for the Center because, after all. thedean of students was helping to fundthe place. But Rogers and his staffwere convinced that no good couldcome from breaching confidentiality.Rogers left in 1959 to go to Wisconsin(Eugene Gendlin was with Rogers inChicago and in Wisconsin) and then toCalifornia, where he is today. In thelate 60’s, when the University seemedto be trying to establish even morecredibility for itself as a research insti¬tution. it and the Psychology Depart¬ment decided that Clinical Psychologywas not a discipline which lent itselfwell to the statistical needs of the sci¬entific community, even though Dr.Rogers was the first clinician ever tobe willing to open his work to the scru¬tiny of others by electrically recording(frist by wire, then by tape) sessionswith his clients, a practice which soonbecame routine for all therapists at theCenter and later, somewhat routine fortherapists in training. He and his col¬leagues also labored long and hard tofind out how effective therapy might bethrough the use of the “Q-Sort” tech¬nique which asked clients to rate theirreal and ideal selves at the beginningof therapy, and at subsequent pointsduring the process, and at points aftertherapy was concluded. In the cloudyarea of the effectiveness of psychother¬apy no one did more than the re¬searchers at the Counseling Center atthe University of Chicago. Neverthe¬less. the University and the Psycholo¬gy Department “phased out” clinicalpsychology and the Counseling Centeron 1 July 1971.I was a staff member (and graduatestudent) at the time. Several of usfounded a new Center in the Hyde ParkBank Building, and the tradition of thatCenter still remains in the ChicagoCenter for Counseling and Psychother¬apy. Although the new Center no longer sees clients for $5 an hour, we do offercounseling and therapy at rates thatare fair, and we do accept third party(insurance) payments. Any member ofthe University community is cordiallyinvited to call us at our 24 hour answer¬ing service at 660-0109 to discuss thepossibility of therapy. We have officesin Hyde Park, Lincoln Park, and in theLoop. We do not charge for our initialconsultation. After all, we all have totry to decide whether this is a processthat is potentially fruitful.Norton B. Knopf, Ph.D.The Chicago Center forCounseling and PsychotherapyTo the editor:This is a letter in response to KimShively’s recent viewpoint:I applaud your viewpoint of Febru¬ary 5 in which you raised the issue ofthe lack of treatment facilities oncampus for students suffering fromself-destructive behavior patterns suchas alcohol drug, and food abuse. I hopethe administration takes steps to im¬prove the situation now. Billings oughtto be a leader in the campaign to edu¬cate the public and provide programsfor those suffering from these dis¬eases.Fortunately, there are several self-help groups that meet regularly inHyde Park—Overeaters Anonymous,Al-Anon, and of course, AA.

AsPresident of the Society for the Preven¬tion of Cruelty to Sidewalks and anaverage U of C student, I feel obliged torespond to Student Government Presi¬dent Chris Hill’s letter that appeared inthe Tuesday February 12, 1985 issue ofThe Marron. President Hill rightly crit¬icizes Student Government for beingcaught up in “power plays, Robert'sRules of Order and cases in SFACourt” and I for one do not give a hootin hell about it. As the head of a smallbut active student organization, I ammore concerned with the effects of rocksalts and snow plows on our campus’ssidewalks. However, the current con¬stipation in SG has led me to considerthe larger issues involved. In my opin¬ion. the current malaise in SG is adirect result of the people elected tohead SG last spring. The CARE Partydefeated the DEMONS and the resultsare well known: endless discussions ofparliamentary rules, the cancellationof an all-University party proposed bythe President, by the Finance Commit¬tee chairman, scandal in the highest of¬fices of SG, the resignation of the Sec¬retary and the Finance Committeechairman, and not one mention of thefuture of sidewalk protection! Now Ijoin with President Hill and call for theend of this ‘’bullshit”!Last spring I endorsed the DEMON candidates for SG offices. At that time Ifelt that the DEMONS understood thedesires of the students better. For ex¬ample, with all this concern aboutkeeping off the grass, I expected a fewnew sidewalks to be built around here.However, no action was taken and SGremained silent on this issue. I talkedto Mark Woo and he convinced me thathe cared about sidewalks. He took astand on sidewalks of which I totallyapprove. He said, “I am in favor ofsidewalks.” Since then, nothing thathas occurred has changed my mindabout the DEMONS. The incompetenceof the CARE Party has only reinforcedthis feeling. While I am not a DEMON,I meet with many DEMONS occasion¬ally and hear what they say about theseissues. They are not just a “silly party”but just a swell group of guys and galswho really care about the student body.While their methods are a bit uncon¬ventional, their message has beenclear and consistent since the foundingof their party— Student Governmentshould focus on serving the interests ofthe average U of C student withoutbeing caught up in silly rules. Now, thismay come as a surprise to Chris Hilland many others but Mark Woo standsfor nothing if not for responsive govern¬ment. If Chris Hill really wishes toserve the students, he should turn Stu¬dent Government over to theDEMONS.J. Joseph Donermeyer, PresidentSociety for the Prevention of Crueltyto Sidewalks(Not a DEMON Front)Ed. Note: Maybe not a DEMON frontbut it sure sounds like a DEMONpitch.More on Court TheatreTo the editor:We at Court Theatre appreciate yourinterest in the University of Chicago’sresident theatre and were pleased to befeatured in Helen Markey’s February 8article in the Maroon.Ms. Markey’s article, however, con¬tained several factual errors abouthow Court Theatre is run and financed.First, Court did not “break from theUniversity four years ago.” Courtgrew organically out of the Universitycommunity, and in 1981 it moved fromits old home in Reynolds Club to thenew building on Ellis Avenue. It is stillnot only on the U of C campus but alsovery much a functioning part of theUniversity.Ms. Markey’s article also stated that“more than 29 percent of Court’s profitcomes from ticket sales.” Court is anot-for-profit theatre and as an organi¬zation makes no profit at all. Approxi¬mately 55 per cent of our operatingbudget is funded by earned income,while the rest is covered by contributed— i.e. donations from individuals;grants from corporations, foundations,and the state and federal governments— and an appropriation from the Uni¬versity of Chicago.For many students, Court’s relation¬ship to the rest of the University issomewhat difficult to understand sincethe U of C has no theatre departmentand students do not appear regularlyon our stage. Court is a professional,Equity-contract theatre, as well as aprogram of the University of Chicago,and therefore hires professionalactors, directors, designers, and ad¬ministrators. Court also employes U ofC students in several capacities: thisseason, students have worked in thebox office, in the administrative of¬fices, as House Manager, backstage,and even on stage in Much Ado AboutNothing. Paid internships are avail¬able to students in dramaturgy, direct¬ing, and stage management.In addition, Court often lends cos¬tumes, properties, and set pieces tostudent theatre groups.Court offers University of Chicagostudents many opportunities to see itsproductions at reduced rates or at nocost at all. Students can usher at a per¬formance in return for seeing it; spe¬cial group rates are offered to the resi¬dence halls; student rush tickets (lessthan half price) are often available onWednesday, Thursday, and Sundayevenings; and students receive dis¬counts on both single tickets and sub¬scriptions.Court Theatre is proud to be a part ofthe University of Chicago, and wel¬comes participation by students. I will be happy to answer questions that anymember of the University communitymay have, and can be reached at962-7242.Crista CabeAudience Development Director,Court TheatreThis is legal?To the editor:And the abortion debate goes roundand round...Perhaps what is needed isa little plain talk.Ten percent of all abortions in theUnited States are performed on fetusespast the twelfth week of development.A twelve week-old fetus has a littlehead, nose, mouth, ears, arms, legs,and fingers. It has a heartbeat. Itmoves around. The only significant dif¬ference between a fetus in the twelfthweek and the fetus in the eighth monthis size; its legs, arms, head,fingers...are smaller. A fetus in thetwelfth week of development is abortedin the following manner. Its arms, legs,head, and body are either cut or pulledapart into little pieces, and then thosebloody pieces are sucked away througha vacuum tube. That is the ugly butplain truth. Nearly 200,000 fetuses at orpast the twelfth week of developmentwill be aborted this year in the US, per¬fectly legally.I signed the anti-abortion petitionwhich appeared in the Maroon becauseI disagree with the Roe vs. Wade deci¬sion. Under this decision, it was de¬clared unconstitutional that a stateshould pass a law disallowing the abor¬tion of a twelve (or fifteen, or twenty)week-old fetus when a doctor (any doc¬tor, anywhere) can be found and paidto declare that the birth of a child willput some sort of stress on the health ofthe mother. (This may include even fi¬nancial burden, which can lead to psy¬chological stress.)But I am making this too complicat¬ed. I ask the students at the Universityof Chicago whether and when it couldbe right to cut the arms, legs, and bodyof a fetus into little pieces, and suckthem away through a vacuum tube.David BullockGraduate student in economicsHave a sense of humorTo the editor:At first I could not believe that some¬one could complain because there wasa little bit of humor in a Chem 106 Lec¬ture. But sure enough someone had ac¬tually written a letter to The Maroon tocomplain. Then I realized that this isthe U of C, home of the gray, dull andboring. Where else w'ould someonecomplain because they had a goodlaugh in that terribly exciting class,Chemistry? The author of the previous¬ly mentioned letter refers to the writ¬ing as “graffiti” when actually it w-aschalk on a chalkboard. To me, and I’msure anyone else who has ridden theCTA, graffiti is not chalk but spraypaint and markers. This differenceshould not be so difficult for a U of Cstudent to comprehend, but then consi¬dering that this person thinks oneshould see a psychiatrist for “amus¬ing” oneself, who know’s? And all theuproar coming from a class where lastquarter’s big laughs came when theprofessor wiped the board with a wetsponge. Oh well, I guess the Universi¬ty’s programs to improve the social lifearound here will never work as long asthere are people here who think laugh¬ter is a crime.P.S.

Many of the stripshave been culled from real incidentsthat have happened to me or myfriends, ar-d the ones that aren’t basedon real incidents, well—we have asneaky feeling that they could happenand probably have to someone.The main character, Regman-J.R.,is reticent, naive, a virtual paragon ofthe U of C man, and like many of us.Regman grows throughout the stripwith his changes coming as a result ofrealization, disillusionment, and in¬teraction with other characters. Thereis Mong the hacker, who is J.R.’s room¬mate, and is lovable for his naivete andfor his true friendship with J.R. Thenthere is Jody the Reganimal, who rep¬resents the darker side of Mong andJ.R.; you’d always find him in thestacks or reading in Ex Libris. He iscut-throat, hard-working, and smart,and at the moment, he is making every¬one around him miserable, but he isgrowing up slowly but surely.There are also a host of minor char¬acters that are people that w’e all knowand are ready to make sport of: Bif—fratman; Muffy—the cheerleader/lit¬tle sister; Dylan—the campus’ only ac¬tivist; and Wendy—Regman’s femalecounterpart.Whether it’s J.R.’s pondering themysteries of Kuviasungnerk’s “fun,”or whether it’s a scene at a frat party,The Adventures have a lot to say aboutourselves and the place we are stuck infor at least four years. Regman notonly has a little bit of everyone in him,but he is the toil of our hearts. If youcome up with any ideas for him, dropthem off in our mailfolders, so thatRegman can have a bit more of you too.— Stephen “Skip" Lau (ideas) and JoelD.

On the one hand, the ReaganAdministration denounces Nicaraguaas a totalitarian state, and uses thischarge to justify its attacks on thecountry. On the other hand, the Ameri¬can left, and religious groups such asWitness for Peach, oppose the Admin¬istration’s policies, and see the Nicara¬guan revolution as a hopeful develop¬ment in the Third World.Lisa Jaskol, a graduate student atthe University of Chicago had the op¬portunity to visit Nicaragua for eightweeks this summer.

Hawkeyes, decided to forego the April draft and playout his eligibility at Iowa. This action was quite un¬usual considering the recent tendency for collegeplayers to bypass their education in favor of the bigbucks of professional sports. Collegiate basketballplayers are the most notorious at giving up on theireducation, and recently two of the most respectedcollege coaches made a strong stance against thismovement.Notre Dame’s Richard “Digger” Phelps and In¬diana's Bobby Knight have both threatened to resignfrom the Association of College Basketball Coachesif nothing is done to remedy the situation. Phelps andKnight are appalled by the recent figures that show-only 20 percent of NBA players have received theircollege degrees. Also, more players than ever aredeclaring themselves eligible for the NBA draft be¬fore their class has graduated (the NFL avoids thissituation by not drafting players until their class hasgraduated).Knight has already taken the first shot by suspend¬ing Mike Giomi from his team for cutting classes.Under NCAA and Indiana University rules Giomi didnot risk his eligibility by his actions, but Knight feelsthat these rules are too soft and he decided to takematters into his own hands. As a result Knight hascome under fire for his actions.The press has gotten on Knight for being too tough.They say that college basketball is a business andyou have to win to make money. If you don’t takeadvantage of the lenient rules the competition will.This is the attitude Knight is fighting, and fightingsuccessfully. Knight has always had this policy andas a result he has one of the highest graduation ratesas well as one of the best basketball programs.Knight is one of the few' coaches who is truly con¬cerned with the player. Some coaches see the playeras someone to exploit, to take his talent and. when heis through, forget about him.Phelps has more than a few things to say about thisas well. Instead of the college exploiting the athlete,Phelps wants “the athlete to exploit the educationalopportunities” at the college. He wants the collegesto show the athlete there is more to life than sports,and that he better be prepared for this fact.Up until the present this has not been the case.Players are given scholarships contingent uponplaying ball. If for any reason they can no longerplay, they lose their scholarship. This is a problemfor athletes because now in addition to putting in upto 40 hours on the court per week, they have to keepup their academic averages or lose their scholar¬ship. They cannot spend less time on basketball andmore on studies because this would mean riskingtheir spot on the team and therefore risking theirscholarship. The Third StringPhelps has proposed a system where once a schol¬arship has been granted it cannot be given to anotherplayer until the original player has been in school forfour years. This would help students retain theirscholarships if they are unable to stay on the team.Also, it would insure that more academically qual¬ified players would be recruited. Coaches would bediscouraged from going after players on the aca¬demic margin. If they take a risk on such a playerand he can’t stay academically eligible, they lose hisscholarship for four years. Players recruited underDigger’s plan w'ould have a much better chance atgraduating.These ideals of Knight and Phelps are great, butthe press may be right, that there is too much mone>involved. Last year’s tournament drew in five mil¬lion dollars of revenue and if some star players weresuspended this figure could not be reached. Just thisyear Virginia’s center Olden Polynice was caughtcheating on his term paper, yet he wasn’t suspend¬ed.Also, can you imagine a coach rejecting a greatathlete because he didn’t get 1000 on his SAT’s? IfPhelps does reject him there are still hundreds ofvultures out there who will quickly scoop him up.And in this corner....by Dennis A. ChanskyGive the people what they want. People write meand tell me they are tired of my column subjects.They don’t want to hear anymore about college bas¬ketball or about baseball nostalgia. They don’t wantto hear about golf, tennis, bowling, boxing, horse rac¬ing or figure skating. I don’t know anything abouthockey, and I’d rather be dead than write about autoracing. Therefore, if I am going to give the peasantswhat they want, I’ll have to devote this column toprofessional wrestling. Happy?No authoritative history of w'restling exists, sincepromoters find it very profitable to fabricate or ig¬nore what has happened in past years. I suspect thisis possible since there is a constant turnover in theranks of wrestling fans. New people are always dis¬covering w’restling, while veteran fans find them¬selves burnt out after a few seasons, and so take sab¬batical for a while. But it is very important to knowwrestling’s past, because it is the script of wres¬tling’s future.I believe wrestling began in the twenties or thir¬ties. It took the form recognizable to today’s fan inthe fifties with the advent of television. A wholebunch of non-descript bruisers locking arms with oneanother had little chance of survival in the world oftelevision. Gorgeous George brought color and An-tonino “Flying Tony” Rocca brought excitement inthe form of the original flying dropkick to the blandsport of wrestling. The monolith of professional wrestling began todissolve in the early sixties. The seamless garmentof Gorgeous George was ripped into three pieces, theWWWF, the World Wide Wrestling Federation; theNWA, the National Wrestling Alliance; and theAWA, the American Wrestling Alliance. This was anecessary move since there were just too manywrestlers to compete for one championship. Thethree separate bodies each had the exclusive right topromote wrestling in a well-defined section of thecountry. They promoted so well in fact, that eventu¬ally there were too many wrestlers in each section tocompete for the title.At this point, the promoters in each region adoptedthe system of channeling wrestlers into certain roles.For instance, the most respectable athlete becamethe champion. Verne Gagne and Bruno Sammartinoare excellent examples of respectable champions. Tothis day, Bruno is the only professional wrestler to bethe subject of Greatest Sports Legends. With a good-guy champion, every bad-guy gets a shot or two orseven at the belt. Eventually, the champions foundthemselves competing seven days a week plus mati¬nees. As well, other good-guy wrestlers found it im¬possible to get a shot at the championship. To rest thechampions and get some recognition for the othergood guys, the enforcer system was developed. Aninferior title, such as “North American Champion,”is created and given to a prominent good-guy. His jobthen becomes softening up the bad-guys before theyface the champion. These matches usually takeplace in the secondary arenas where formerly thechampion would have to appear in person, and theyusually end in a draw or a disqualification, so thatthe good-guy keeps his title and reputation, and thebad-guy remains undefeated as he moves up to facethe champ.A complement to the enforcer system is the freaksystem. “Freak” at first seems an unkind word,since a 7-5 basketball player isn’t considered a freak.But when a 7-5, 500 lb. French-Canadian goes aroundleaping through the air onto the chests of his oppo¬nents, it is a very freakish sight. These exceptional(read “freakish”) wrestlers pose a problem. Fewpeople will deny that they can suffocate all but thegreatest of champions (Bruno once defeated all 600lbs. of Haystacks Calhoun), yet, the prospect of hav¬ing a champion whose invincibility is not in doubtwill certainly dampen the enthusiasm of the wackoswho show up monthly to cheer and pray for thechampion to defeat his arch-rival. Thus, these excep¬tional wrestlers are given a special status as enforc-ers-on-loan. They are permitted to wrestle in anypart of the country they choose whenever theychoose. They fly into town to get disqualified againstthe number one contender, or to mop up against aguy who has recently lost to the champion but has notyet lost his earning potential.Lately it seems things have been reserved con¬cerning the good-guy bad-guy affiliations of the hier¬archy. But if the champ is a bad guy, then the enforc¬er is a bad guy, and the freak is still a freak. So don’tget excited next time you see a new wrestler on TV.After watching him in one match you will be able topredict the course of his career for the next fewyears.Women’s basketball assesses its very inconsistent seasonBy Geoffrey SherryAfter wasting a 10 point lead to even¬tually lose to Concordia-River Forestat the buzzer last week, the Universityof Chicago women’s basketball teamlooks to the upcoming final week ofplay hoping it will become a successful, capoff to a topsy-turvy season. Chicagohits the road this weekend for a pair ofgames at Lawrence and St. Norbert,and then returns home February 21 forthe final game of the year against Be¬loit.Summed up Head Coach KevinM An SAYS“READOFF THE IM WIREEVERY TUESDAYIN THEMAROON.” McCarthy, “If we end up the seasonwith three good games...we had a suc¬cessful year. These last three gamesare integral to the overall outlook ofthe season.”Although out of the post-season pic¬ture with a 10-8, 3-4 record, theMaroons can still accomplish whatthey set out to do this year.McCarthy explains, “We had a real¬istic approach to this season. We are avery young team with a lot of promise,but we knew this year would be a chal¬lenge. Our goal is to end with a winningMen finish onThough virtually eliminated fromthe Midwest Conference title chase, theUniversity of Chicago men’s basket¬ball team may still play the role ofspoiler as it enters its final weekend ofthe season.The Maroons travel to Wisconsin toplay Lawrence University this eve¬ning, and then St. Norbert the followingday. Lawrence sits in last place in theconference’s northern division, but St.Norbert, with only four losses, is onegame shy of front-running Beloit, andis not invincible.Last season St. Norbert destroyedChicago in Wisconsin, by close to 30points. But this year’s St. Norbert teamdoes not measure up to the 1984 ver¬sion, which took the eventual DivisionIII national champions to overtime be¬fore losing in the post-season tourna- record.”With a young team come rookie mis¬takes. This may have accounted forChicago’s numerous spurts of inconsis¬tency earlier in the season.“The lowest part of our season waseasily the 14 point loss to Ripon. It wasvery frustrating,” noted McCarthy.The Ripon loss occurred only one dayafter Chicago’s stellar performanceagainst nationally-ranked St. Norbert.The four hour bus ride along with theemotional down of the Norbert lossproved too much as the lackadaisicalthe roadment. The loss of potential All-Ameri¬can forward Joe Emmerich tograduation has reduced St. Norbert’spunch, and Maroon head coach JohnAneglus feels Chicago can handle theGreen Knights on their home floor.St. Norbert defeated Chicago atHenry Crown Field House in January,65-61 in overtime. And speaking ofovertime, Beloit eliminated one of itsrivals from title contention Tuesdayevening in traditional Buccaneer fash¬ion. A 28-point performance by All-Con¬ference forward Mike Clinton gave theBuccaneers a 72-70 overtime triumphover Lake Forest, and that game is oneof many that Beloit has won by threepoints or less this season.The Maroons will follow up their Wis¬consin road trip with the season finaleon Mondav. at Lake Forest. Maroons could not keep up with thefresh Ripon squad.Yet, going into tonight’s game, theMaroons also have some positive ac¬complishments. A 10-8 record is notbad considering the tough schedule theMaroons have faced.One such player is senior point guardKaren Walsh. The holder of the singlegame assist record, and prospectiveholder of the season record, Walsh hasexhibited crucial floor leadershipthroughout the season. Able to drawteams out of zone with excellent perim¬eter shooting, Walsh is doubly danger¬ous with her superb ball-handlingskills. McCarthy calls her “the pre¬mier point guard in the conference.”Seniors Sheila Dugan and WendyPietrzak have more than adequatelyfilled the roles detailed to them byMcCarthy. Dugan, known for her de¬fensive talents, has come on this yearto add an offensive spark not present inher game last year. Pietrzak, the bestpasser on the team, has improved hershooting stats both from the field andthe line.McCarthy concluded, “We have got¬ten outstanding play from the entireteam. Gretchen Gates has been consis¬tent throughout, while Madelyn Det-loff, Maria Del Favero and Kathy Fitz¬patrick have added crucial dimensionsto our team’s personality.”Upon returning home from thisweekend’s road trip, the Maroons gearup for the final game of the year nextThursday night at Henry Crown,against Beloitsports 13Chicago Maroon—Friday, January 18, 1985an^^Hm4Oldtimers save track meet after 2 schools cancelBy Scott Bernard“Look - there just wasn’t any way forus to win! We were seriously under¬manned!” snapped senior track manPete Di Teresa after the varsity’s 74-57loss last Thursday night to a powerfulU of C alumni team.How many athletes competed for thevarsity, Pete? “Twenty-eight.”And how many competed for thealumni? “Ten.”And you were undermanned?“You’re missing the point. Thoseweren’t just ten ordinary athletes.They were gods - a deka-theos,” quothDi Teresa, relapsing into the Greekpatois he is wont to use when histhumos flares up. “If they had stuck tothe eight guys they originally said theywere going to use, we might have had achance. But they cheated! They flew inMarshall Schmitt from his vacationhome in Corfu, and - get this - theyeven got Bob Fisher to take off fromwork. Sure, it was perfectly legal. Butit just wasn’t ethical.”The first of its kind in U of C history,the varsity-alumni meet was the brain¬child of Coach Ted Haydon. When De-Paul and North Central Colleges with¬drew from last week’s meet, leavingonly Beloit to face the varsity, Haydondecided to let the alumni enter themeet. “I knew it would make for an ex¬citing meet, a fine example of the age-old conflict between youth and experi¬ence. I know my blood was pumping.Hell, I w'ould have thrown the hammerfor the alums if there had been a ham¬mer throw,” said Haydon. Ph.B ’33,AM ’54, and world age-group record-holder in the hammer throw.But the alumni did not need Hay-don’s services to whip the varsity. Twonames suffice to explain their victorybefore a capacity crowd in the FieldHouse: Derse (pronounced DER-see)and Knight. Knight and Derse. Trackand Field. On a 5-3-1 point scale for first, second, and third places thesetwo rising sport stars combined for 41points.“He’s so divine!” squealed track afi¬cionado Martha Stanek, referring ofcourse, to Ed Derse. His performancelast Thursday certainly merited suchenthusiastic praise. Derse won the polevault, clearing 11’. He won the triplejump, traveling 40’1”. He won the 60-yd. high hurdles in 8.4 seconds. He tiedfor first in the high jump with team¬mate Craig Lasota at 5 feet, ridiculous¬ly low but sufficient for victory. Hetook second in the 60-yd. and 300-yd.runs. And he finished third in the shotput.Modest Ed attributed the alumni’svictory to their coach, Dave Van Hou-ten. “His tutelage enabled us to get amaximum of points. Take the highjump. He saw that no one from the var¬sity was in the event, so he told me and - Craig - to save my, er, our, strengthand take only one jump. He even en¬tered Fisher in it to pick up a point forthird. And Fisher - he took off fromwork, bless him - cleared only fourfeet.” Haydon called the easy alumnisweep of the high jump “highway rob¬bery.”Art Knight easily won the threeevents he entered. He cruised throughthe mile in a workmanlike 4:30.8. Hebeat the soon-to-be-unemployed Fisherin the 800 meters, 2:02 to 2:02.5. Knightfinished up his tour de force by winningthe two-mile run in an effortless9.37.8.There w'ere a few bright spots amongthe chastened varsity’s performance.Guy Yasko led a varsity sweep of the600 meters in 1:17. All Conferencecross-country runner Stephen Thomasset a personal record of 9:41 in the two-mile run.

John Seykorawon the 400 meters in 51.9 seconds.Butch Anton’s 20’3 3/4” leap in the longjump got the varsity its only victory inthe field events. Coach Haydon was alittle disappointed with his team’sshowing. “Those who participatedworked pretty hard. Unfortunately, wehad several no-shows who could havemade a big difference in the scoring.”As for the alumni, Haydon was gladthat “so many of them have remainedactive after college. They’re still ag¬gressive after all these years.”Incidentally, the varsity crushed Be¬loit 79-22 in its separately scored dualmeet with the Buccaneers. But eventhe huge margin of victory over its con¬ference rival could not relieve the stingof the alumni-administered spanking.Away 7:30pmAway 3p.m.Away 7:30 p.mAway 5 p.mAway l p.m.AwayAwayHome 6 d..,,.AwayThe DSCD Student Advisory Committeecordially invites you to aSTUDENT-FACULTYGET-TOGETHERWednesday, February 20,1985,4:30 P.M.Harper 103"HOW EYES AND DRAINS DRAIN"Dr. Ramesh C.

"’Yie author insists that “Gaypeople face a unique set of pressures and problems that are totally different fromthose confronting the straight folksaround us.’’ But none of the tensions hecites above are particularly gay — unlesshe submits that they are in the forefront ofevery gay man’s mind: a narcissistic atten¬tion to his body, a desire for repeated sex¬ual encounters with strangers and a pro¬nounced paranoia that people will find outhe's homosexual. In which case, he's pan¬dering to a stereotype that few gay menare crazy about. Otherwise, most of theseconcerns have a relative impact on all ourlives, regardless of our sex partner'sgender; hence, the seeming irrelevance of a “gay” stress.The assertion that a “gay” stress existsdistresses me. This is a part of a largerproblem I have with Christopher Street. Afriend articulated my discomfort wellwhen he said that magazines such as CStend to enforce the ghettoization that theyrise out of. CS started because mainstreammagazines would not publish articles ad¬dressing the concerns of gay men. To con¬tinue publishing, it seems, CS has had toencourage this estrangement from themainstream — they consistently refer to agay “lifestyle” — and it’s not clear to methat this rift is as pronounced as once itmay have been. Indeed, the commerciallysponsored production of “ConsentingAdults” last week — about a family's ac¬ceptance of their gay son — suggests thatsome attempt at re-education, if not inte¬gration is being made.Given some of the implicit messages inthis issue, however, Christopher Streetstands as a roadblock to that progress, byencouraging the self-conceived oppressionof its readers.Consider the column, “New York Note¬book.” Here, the "compulsively curious”Andrew Holleran wonders whether writerHenry James ever had sex with men.Throughout the article, he is highly self-conscious of his motivation in wanting toknow. As he should be. Discussions of “Ishe gay or isn’t he?” are as common ascruising in Ex Libris — a titillating way tosharpen one’s powers of observation. ButHolleran is toying with historical innuendo,and his analysis is less honorable thancruising: a gossip session of national pro¬portion. Although Holleran decides thatJames' sexuality is irrelevant to his liter¬ary works, he believes the question is stillvalid:"It matters to those faced with con¬structing a personal life which asks notwhether to live a life based on homosexualrelationships, but how."Since James’ biographies play up theidea of James as a “magnificent celibate,”it's unlikely that the example of his lifecan answer this question. Holleran’s wholeanalysis, it seems, seeks self-validation insuggesting a famous man to be homosex¬ual. The old “but-Leonardo-da-Vinci- andAlexander-the-Great-were-gay-too” syn¬drome. It’s a nice reassurance. I admit, buta response to the kind of insecurities thatCS should transcend. A “them-us” mentali¬ty that breaks us into enemy camps.This division springs up again in “Gay101: On Teaching Gay Studies.” by Rich¬ard D. Mohr, an assistant professor in phi¬losophy at the University of Illinois, Ur-bana. Billing it as “A course in appliedethics,” implicitly designed “with the ex¬pectation that the vast majority of theclass would be gays in various stages ofcoming out,” Mohr is startled when the en¬rollment includes less than a third gays,“only one upfront lesbian" and lots ofWASP's and black football players. Inspite of the fact that he presents them witha variety of opinions, discussion evolvesaround the teacher's standard gay politicoideology and sense of personal defensive¬ness.When a woman objects to a picture of aman “m drag,” because it panders to ste¬reotypes dangerous to women, he tellsher: “the fellow was not in drag, but wasdoing gender-fuck...and that as such hewas Politically Very Correct.” Discussionends.Such defensiveness is inappropriate foran inquiry into the meaning and ramifica¬tions of a gay rights. That all professorscome from some ideological background. Igrant, but the degree to which that ideo¬logy invests class discussion — supposedlyaimed at student understanding of othermaterials — can make or break discussion— and truncate understanding.I have to be careful here, because I don'twant to sound too critical of Gay Studies.It's an ideal focus for understanding ethi¬cal methodologies — in the same sense,perhaps, that a feminist theory course canbe. One examines the social and historicalconstruction of a sexual identity — womanor homosexual man — and proceeds fromthis generalization to an assessment of thepolitical and social meanings of that un¬derstanding. What is problematic for GayStudies — and Christopher Street too. forthat matter — is that the construction ofthe identity is never examined, except innegative relation to heterosexuality:Gays as oppressed and ghettoized minori¬tyI don't intend to sound too idealistic, butI believe that a close examination of thisidentity might reveal that the distinctionof one's sex partner's gender is hardly dif¬ference enough on which to construct analien “lifestyle” or a “gay culture” — asystem of values or pattern of behaviorunique to gay men. The whole thing is ar¬tificial and unnecessarily separatist. In myexperience, their values are as diverse asthe larger "straight” culture around them,and the excuse of “gay culture” merelya collection of glitter, stares anc relishes:the stuff cartoons are made of.

The drawingwhich discusses the issue most intelli¬gently is Barry LeVa’s ‘Drawing forTwo Separate Installations Com¬bined into One Installation in TwoPerspectives’, in which constructivistlines and circles of various thick¬nesses, colors, and media work intension with each other; white paperoverlaying parts of the image areacreates a filmy sense of three-dimen¬sionality which is suggestive ratherthan oppressive in its allusion to amore open space. The other two ofhis works, along with Andrea Blum’scontributions, at most provoke an in¬terest in the — absent — sculpture.The question arises: why devote somuch space to these fairly unin¬teresting ‘drawings’? Just becausethey are done by Sculptors? This is,indeed, the problem of the show. It isepitomized in Bruce Nauman’sWhite Anger, Red Danger, yellowPeril, Black Death’ and 'Symptoms’.Both are clearly works for sculp¬tures; each includes directions foroperation written on the side of thedrawing. The interest they incite isnot derived from the representa¬tional work of the drawings them¬selves, but rather from their refer¬ence to the more active sculpturesfor which they are the plans.The most obvious tour de force(although a bit impressionistic formy taste): Robert Morris’ Untitled(Psychomachia Drawing)' displays aghostly turmoil, including a maze¬like structure which appears almostto rise up from the surface of thepaper — while a trail of footprintsseems hopelessly stuck to the flatplane, and disembodied skeletonsfall away on all sides...The most ob¬vious travesty: Who wants to seeRobert Colescott, Aloha Shirley (Shirley Temple Black)Grey City Journal 15 February 85Staff: Steven Amsterdam, Suzanne Buchanan, Pablo Conrad, SusanGreenberg, David Kay, Irwin Keller, Michael Kotze, Nadine McGann,David Miller, Patrick Moxey, Brian Mulligan, Susan Pawloski, JohnProbes, Max Renn, Paul Reubens, Rachel Saltz, Wayne Scott, FranklinSoults, Mark Toma, Bob Travis, Ken Wissoker, Rick Wojcik.Production: Stephanie Bacon, Laura SaltzEditors: Stephanie Bacon, Bruce King how much black oil stick RichardSerra can use up covering two piecesof paper?

His neo-expressionist worksof the fifties and sixties (in which thequintessential Golub theme of patri¬archal power abuse is already evi¬dent), as well as his Vietnam seriesof the early seventies, are gaining invalue historically and loosing invalue in terms of formal interest asthey age. In choosing to limit his sub¬ject matter to narrative depictionsof power-abuse situations, Golubran a high risk of his work becomingdated, as indeed some of it has.His recent work is quite powerfuland makes the show worth seeing,even to those already familiar withGolub’s older work. The primarythemes are torture and interroga¬tion, the primary settings South andCentral America and South Africa.The works are hucje, and the depic¬tions of torturers, murderers, etc. isthoroughly grotesque, but still natu¬ralistic enough to be jarring Thecoarse canvases are scraped to adry pasty surface with vaguely nau¬seating colors; oppressor and victimare figured in poses full of life andierision.

Logic con- perstition is called into full play. The ten¬sion that comes from knowing theunknown becomes so great that it de¬mands reconciliation. If the crisis is greatenough, it calls the people together Thecerns itself with the explanation of causal community shares its doubt together, andrelationships, yet there is always a point when superstition is expressed on a socialbetween cause and effect that it does notexplain. A straightforward example dis¬plays the problem: A man is walking Into aroom. The proposition “The man is in theroom” is clearly either true or false, ex¬cept at the moment he is precisely halfwaythrough the door. At that moment, he isneither in nor out, both in and out. Thiscommon occurrence (i.e. the midpoint ofany transition) violates the most funda¬mental laws of our understanding, and therational mind had no other recourse but todeclare it a paradox. Our mind then has adifferent, entirely non-logical system (if itcan be called that) that then takes over,namely, superstition. it imagines the mostfantastic ways of reconciling the paradox.Through superstition, we can believe inthings we don’t understand, like “infin¬ity” or “nothing,” and thus it is the main¬spring of faith. Paradox summons up oursuperstition. “You are free,” it says,“from the constraint of everyday life. Go,believe what you want. Live, again, in theworld you knew as a child.” Yet, paradoxis no rare event, as we saw in the examp¬le. Every time a pen drops or the sunrises—in short, whenever anythingchanges—we confront the unknown tosome degree, and therefore must resort toour superstition. Faith is the mode we mustslip into to preserve our continuity in theface of an undeniable contradiction. With¬out this way of escaping the logical sys¬tem, we would short-circuit at the firstparadox. If logic was our only means ofthinking, we would be paralyzed by thesimple act of a man walking through thedoor. Thus we see that superstition is animportant a mode of thought as is logic.The coming of spring after a deathlycold winter is a transition of the highestorder. Therefore, it has often been chosenas a suitable metaphor through which toexpress the greatest dichotomy of ail,that of life and death. The common notionof spring as rebirth reveals it as a particu¬larly violent period of change. Spring isthe season when we are half involved withboth worids, and thus we experience themsimultaneousy. We no longer can take thesimple course that we do on either side ofthe transition, either believing in life orbelieving in death; we are compelled to ac¬cept them both together. Superstition isthe way in which we accept contradiction.The end of winter and the renewal ofgrowth is such a powerful change that itthrusts us right in front of the paradox. Itis all the more powerful because we de¬pend on this change for survival. Our su- scale like this, it takes the form of festi¬val. So, as Manning concludes In his essay,Cosmos and Chaos, “the coincidence of op¬posites...lies at the heart of celebration'ssymbolic vitality. Celebration does not re¬solve or remove ambiguity and conflict, in¬stead, it embellishes them.” That spring isa great time of festivity, by this defnition,comes as little surprise. So, we hear the dressed up as their most secret fantasy.The private becomes public, the celebrantscry a ‘yes’ to every ‘no’ and a ‘no’ to every’yes ’ As the scales tip, the fact that noth¬ing is fixed, that there are no gods to befound on this earth, in reinforced. No oneready is sure of anything, so why worry?There is a ground on which we can allstand together, the Earth, and the festivalbrings us there. A slave, in Euripides’ Bac~chae, insists that ‘we are not such as godsare made of. I say, accept, accept. Thereare great things unfathomable, the mindcannot grasp them.” By pointing out thatno earthly structure is sound, the inver¬sion releases us from the structure of ourOpen Invitation to Participatein a Festival of the ArtsMusib,;; sculpture, poetry, theater,dance, painting, mime, performanceart, photography, film — in short, what¬ever madness it is that you takeseriously — will come together here oncampus this May for the Festival of theArts, celebrating the rebirth of spring.IWe are out to counter the potentiallydangerous concept of art for art’s sake,and for that matter, anything for itsown sake.

This is strictly not-for-profit.fertility god in Euripides’ rendition of theBacchic rites proclaim, “If you are man orwoman, I am Dionysus. Accept.”That festival is a response to the para¬dox of change is evident in the inversionconsistently characteristic of it. in examin¬ing Roman society, where the hierarchywas quite rigid, the inversion is easy tosee. The Saturnalia that they held annual¬ly were licentious feasts where the socialroles were reversed and the mastersended up waiting on the slaves. In its En¬glish counterpart, the Feast of Fools, themadness consummated in a wild parody ofthe Mass, in which a donkey was broughtinto the church to play saviour. At Carna-val in Rio, the people are urged to come own social roles, and therefore allows usthe momentary grace of community.Another feature of spring festivals thatcan be traced back to their paradoxicalnature is their common practice of appeas¬ing the dead through some ritualisticmeans. Spring is the time when the spiritscome out, and the dead roam the earth.For the Celtic people, it was a period whenthe power of elves and witches was partic¬ularly dreaded, and they wiped pitch ontheir doorsills to ward them off. On Wal-purgis Night, the eve of Mayday, the Bo¬hemians held that witches were on thehunt, and they performed elaborate firerites to protect themselves. This preoccu¬pation with the supernatural reflects the atmosphere of open possibility that ac¬companies any major change. Spring, as itinterfaces Death and Life, suggests acoexistence normally believed to be im¬possible. It is the night when the dead andthe living dance together, when realitymingles with the world of dreams. Such isthe mystery of Persephone’s rising; a mys¬tery in which the Greeks found ecstasy.The Need for Community Festival in Ameri¬caAmericans have denied themselves thefruits of their ignorance. We emphasizeour knowlege so obsessively that the ad¬mission of the unknown is seen as shame¬ful. Insecurity, then, is something that wegrapple with in private, while we flauntwhatever knowledge we have. Supersti¬tion is considered a weakness, not some¬thing to talk about. Such an approach isboth unreasonable and self-destructive,merely because of the unavoidability ofreliance on some form of superstition.Magic is scoffed, the unknown, shoved inthe closet. But, certainly, we don’t knowanything for suie. And while this is not atruth tr. despair or .dulge in, it must berecogni/.ca rvsr; once in a while, openlyand shamelessly. We re fools. Our hierar¬chy .s arbitrary Break it down and thenput It back together again. Then we cantake it for what it is: a necessary conditionof our understanding, not an absolute jud¬gement. After communion, the dominantand the submissive will again align, butwith the knowledge that they are onlyro‘es that we’ve happened upon, and not areflection of our validity.Our repression of superstition in Ameri¬ca is closely related to our growing estran¬gement from the Earth. We are particular¬ly out of tune with our dependence on andindebtedness to the earth. This is. in part,a result of the emphasis we place on figur¬ing out and controlling natural processes.We have climate-control, so the tempera¬ture’s the same year round. Tomatoes arein the supermarket, regardless of the sea¬son. And yet all this regularity is an illu¬sion. ff the spring does not come, we haveno food. With all that we control, if theEarth froze over, we would perish. Wehave grown so adept at synthesis thatwe've forgotten that the ingredients arealways natural materials that we cannotmake. Yet, this severe alienation from theEarth is not primary to human nature. Thetendency to synthesize ourselves right offthe planet can be countered by measuresaimed at rooting ourselves in commonground. We have to, as a people, revel inour ignorance as much as we embrace ourknowledge: both are affirmations of ourfate here as human beings. As a people,we should band together in the face ofparadox, for it is precisely paradox thatbinds us together.RUN DMC: CAN YOU ROCK IT LIKE THIS?by Ken WissokerHow did RUN-D.M C. become the kings ofrap? Their raps are good — they alwayshave a couple of really funny lines, but itwould be hard to say they are the mostclever rhymes. Their rap delivery is awe¬some, but hardly the most subtle orwacked. Jam-Master Jay is good, but he'scertainly not the best DJ going. But, RUN-D.M.C. set out to be #1, and through aseries of hard, and stylistically inventiveraps they took it to the top. Last summerin New York (where it counts), you couldhear them every hour on KISS radio. As agroup, they have been able to keep pro¬ducing exceptionally good records withoutgetting stuck in a repetitive rut for long,and as a group, they are unequaled.Their first album yielded four successfulsingles, of which two, It’s Like That andRock Box, were stylistic revolutions inthemselves. It’s Like That should actuallybe counted twice, as Sucker MCs (KrushGroove), its inner track, had a radio hitlife of its own, and was, if anything, evenmore influential than It's Like That.In 1983, when this record appeared, anumber of the original lines of hip-hop de¬velopment had run aground, or away. Cer¬tainly, no one needed to hear anymoreraps over Good Times, in the original Su-garhill formula. Arthur Baker and JohnRobie had taken their Planet Rock prod¬uction skills out in successful pursuit of thebroader dance market, and one Messagefollow-up had been one too many — or so itseemed. It’s Like That is probably a songthat would not have existed without TheMessage, though its line of OK, now dealwith it' was a far more ’80s message. Thesignature that made it stand out as farmore than a copy record was the strippeddown force of the beats — hard and min¬imal, it was about as basic as a rhythmtrack could be. This was even clearer inthe fastest punch of Sucker MCs, whoseforce and clarity could cut through just about anything on the radio. We’re talk¬ing high patriarchal modernism here. Min¬imalism at its most present.The follow-up single, Hard Times/Jam-Master Jay made RUN-D.M.C. seem likethey might be just another one idea rapgroup. But where Hard Times was a pa'ecopy of It’s Like That, Jam-Master Jay,with its very appealing scratching, rockedat least as hard as Sucker MCs’.The Rock Box 12”, which appeared atthe same time as their first LP, was of adifferent order entirely. The previous re¬cords had made stylistic advances by cou¬pling a minimalist reading of the rap beatwith a maximalist reading of rap deli¬very. Rock Box tipped the sound further heavy metal guitar solo. It was Eddie VanHalen’s guitar solo that was given creditfor the crossover success of Michael Jack¬son's Beat It, and this seemed a def bet todo the same crossover as well. A huge hitit v as, but mainly in New York. The hybridtha: emerged was brilliant, but no morerock than R&B. the title track here. Kingof Rock melds rap and heavy metal so thateach meets the other half way. This is nomean feat, as they are not the most simi¬lar of genres, but King of Rock has a goodheavy metal bass part perfectly fittedwith the rap percussion track. All of this istopped with another great rap. with hu-toward the maximal by adding a repeat¬ed version of the third generation ersatz morous lines like “Every jam we play, webreak two needles. There're three of usbu* we're not The Beatles ” 'rV trar> is r‘a piece with the also excellent new Beas-tie Boys EP (same Russell Simmons/LarrySmith production.) Both of them are so farahead of anything else at bridging blackand white street tastes, it's hard to seewhere they will get radio airplay — toorock for black stations, too funk for rockstations, and too rough for ‘CHR' top 40(the only format in which one is likely iohear Twisted Sister followed by RUN-D.M.C. in the first place). None the less —or all the more — it’s right on the one.The stand out ‘older style' cut is Darylland Joe (Krush-Groove 3), an evolutionfrom the Sucker MCs groove. The mix, byDJ Red Alert brings in starter gun shotsand a nice Kraftwerk-like bells part, andthe rhymes are right on the mark.The rest of the LP is also quite good,though not uniformly up to these tracksBoth Rock the House (more dub mix thansong) and Can You Rock It Like This (a goodrap with a weak chorus), are in the King ofRock mode, and good. There is a trackRoots, Rap. Reggae, featuring Yellow-man, which aims for a reggae dub/rap fu¬sion and gets part of the way there. T*reeother cuts are more in the It's LikeThat/Hard Times line, and though they allhave things to recommend them, all sufferfrom weak chorus lines. That leaves Jam-Master Jammin a cut much like the fillerfrom the first album, which has a good rapthrough it. and is pretty much OK in gener¬al. Definitely a worthwhile LP in a genrewhere one doesn't usually expect to findthem.I saw RUN-D.M.C. live in New York lastsummer, and they are super fun to watch.The idea of seeing them in Llandel Ha.I iseven more fun. Anybody who enjoys anykind of live blues, folk, rock, cr jazz shouldenjoy this. There won t be any clownsplaying any instruments, but it will be to¬tally live. Rap was invented to ensure thatpeople had a good time, and this is sure tobe a time and a half. Just go, and askquestions later.Run DMC: DMC, Jam Master Jay, and RunGREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1985—5HIP HAMLETby Susan PawloskiWisdom Bridge Theatre's sometimes-controversial production of Hamlet, star¬ring Aidan Quinn, Byrne Piven, and DelClose has extended its run until March31st. Recently nominated for a Joseph Jef¬ferson award (the Chicago equivalent ofthe Tony) the Wisdom Bridge version at¬tracted extraordinary amounts of atten¬tion from the start because of the unusual¬ly long rehearseal time it allowed itsactors, about twice as long as for theaverage off-loop production, as well asfor its use of such decidedly non-Elizabethan devices as slides, videos, andmusic by the Talking Heads.From the start, the audience can tell thatthere is something different about thisproduction. The opening tableau is that ofa coffin against a peeling political poster,ostensibly depicting the defunct king. Sud¬denly, there is a loud roar from the speak¬er system and blood starts to drip downthe sides of the casket. That sets the mood.In the scene that immediately follows, weare transported to what looks like the setof Dynasty: the men of the Danish courtmill about in their Armani suits while asweet young thing sets up glasses of cham¬pagne on a silver tray. 'A tanned, sharpfeatured face appears on a televisionmonitor overhead and announces that hehas just married Queen Gertrude.Polonius delivers his famous "Let not aborrower nor a lender be” speech whilepressing some bills into Laertes' hand.Exit Laertes with his tennis racquet pokingout of his Sportsac. Enter Ophelia, in aLaura Ashley dress. Enter Rosencrantzand Guildenstern, looking like two seedyfrat brothers. A bodyguard in a turtlenecksweater frisks them before letting themgo in to the king. All is charmingly, unob¬trusively, contemporaneous.This is nothing new. The famous Hamletsof every era, up to the nineteenth century:Burbage, Betterton, Garrick, all wore con¬temporary dress. Since then, the play hasbeen performed in masks, with rubbertubing, even in the nude (...ah, those crazy 'Sixties). What we need to do is differen¬tiate between the gimmicks and the sin¬cere efforts to make an old play new. Aresuch touches as Aidan Quinn’s beginninghis soliloquy by spraypainting "To Be/Notto Be” on the wall behind him, or the play¬ing of Burning Down the House (by theTalking Heads) in the scene where Claudioreveals his guilt by walking out on TheMurder of Gonzago, justified? Or are theymerely contemporaneous for the sake ofbeing contemporaneous.I would argue that these devices, how¬ever jarring they might seem at first, actu¬ally grant the audience new insights intothe characters, insights that might other¬wise have been clouded over by the ‘‘oth¬erness’ of the antique staging and costum¬ing.Aidan Quinn, as Hamlet, is clearly at hisbest once he has passed over the prelimin¬aries of setting up his character and isgiven the chance to show is special flair fordepicting madness in twentieth-centuryterms. His experimental approach is givena good solid backing by veteran actors DelClose (Polonius) and Byrne Piven (Ghost,Player King).It is difficult to talk about this producti¬on for too long without starting to gush.Suffice it to say that whenever the play isstarting to feel its four-hour length, some¬thing always happens, like The Gravedig¬ger Blues to straighten you up in your seatagain, and there is a lot of good acting inbetween. If you see only one play thisquarter, let it be Hamlet at the WisdomBridge.

Listen,I’m sorry for talkin’ so much it’s just, thisplace, ya know, it’s getting to me. Every-time I come back it just . . .Voice: What?YM: Well, these guys, ya know . . . they alllaugh and act sure and stuff ... but like,behind their smiles and small talk, it’s likethey’re cryin’ out or something. They looklike they’re dyin,’ like they ... I don’tknow man, you can sorta see it when theylaugh, it’s like they’re chokin’ on someth¬in,’ ya know?(A long inhale is heard from the othercell.)YM: I don’t know man, sometimes I thinkit’s just me, but sometimes I think it’s not,ya know. I mean, I think if you dug intosome of the people around here, like, pastthe clothes and make-up and smiles andsmall talk . . . like, past all that shit, you’dfind some pretty scary stuff. Like I thinksome of these respectable people aroundhere, down deep, they really wanna bechild molestors or something. But yaknow, they’re afraid of what the neigh¬bors would say, so they cover it up. Butstill, you can see it in ’em once in awhile. (A long exhale is heard from the othercell.)YM: Like, there’s this one girl I know, andshe’s sorta quiet and withdrawn anddoesn’t offend people, but man, I justknow it, I can see it in her, that sometimesshe feels like just rippin’ off her..clothesand just walkin’ around naked, not be¬cause like, she’s horny or anything, butjust cause, ya know, she likes bein’ nudeand all, which is cool . . . but man, she justnever does it and I can tell it’s killin’ herinside . . . (turns to the next cell) You knowwhat I’m talkin’ about?Voice: You just said somethin’ ’bout nudewomen.YM: Well, yeah, I did, but like, they’re notthe only ones. I see people all the timeman, I mean all the time, and it’s the same.Drivin’ by or out shoppin' or at stop signsor at parties and stuff, I look at them andit’s like that same thing, just past theirphony smiles, this like, sort of huge empti¬ness or maybe, maybe it’s more like aloneliness, like a deep uninterrupted lone¬liness and they don’t wanna admit it’sthere because it makes ’em feel likelosers. That’s the dirtiest word in thistown, ‘loser.’ Man, that’s the worse thingyou can call someone else, ’a fuckin’ loser.’They’ll never forgive you for that. Theirwhole life is just a big cover up so no onewill never think they’re a loser.Voice: Uh-huh.YM: Jesus Christ man, what’s the use of co¬verin’ up, no one’s lookin,’ they're all busycoverin’ up.Voice: Uh-huh.YM: Man, I’m tired of bein’ like that,that's not gonna happen to me.Voice: Why don’t ya leave?YM: Yeah, I thought about that but, thething is, I’ve got this sinkin' feeling thatmost of this country, at least, ya know, thepart of this country that everyone expectsme to be a part of, is uh, sort of just likethis town.Voice: So why are you gonna be part ofit?YM: Well, ya know, I don’t know. Some¬times I wonder if I got what it takes not tobe part of it.(A long inhale is heard from the othercell.)YM: But then again, ya know, I figure;what the fuck ... I mean, if I don’t go andlook for somethin' else, it’ll always be anaggin’ suspicion, I’ll be always thinkin'about it, right?Voice: Uh-huh.YM: And like all these people that are tel-lin’ me to play it safe and shape up, I fig¬ure they're just shovelin’ the same shitthey had to eat when they were youngerand now they’re gonna make damn sure Ieat it too, right?Voice: Could be.YM. So I figure ya know, fuck it, what do Igot to lose? Nothin’, right? There’s nothin’keepin' me here but my own fear, Christ, Imean, it’s goddam stupid not to leave . . .God, man, think of it . . . Adventure, free¬dom, risk . . . fuckin’ even possible death,Christ man, I’m into it, hell yeah!Voice: Alright.YM: Well goddamn, I think I’m gonna, Ijust might—Voice: What?YM: I'm gonna go man.Voice: Yeah?YM: Yes, definitely.Voice: Where ya headed9 *YM: Well, I uh . . .
