The Chicago MaroonVolume 94, No. 40 The University of ChicagoCutbacks in the hours of student employees scheduled for late winter quarter have beenpostponed until next quarter.Pierce to cut student cafeteria jobs Friday, March 8, 1985Gray vows to fightfederal aid cutsBy Karen AndersonStudents employed by thefood service in Pierce Hallwill not have their hours cut— until next quarter. This isthe final decision from Ed¬ward Turkington, AssociateDean of Students in the Uni¬versity.In response to a letter fromstudent employees which ap¬peared in the February 22issue of the Maroon, DeanTurkington said that cuts atPierce had initially beenscheduled by Pierce’s foodservice director to take placeon February 23. However,Dean Turkington said he haspostponed any schedulechanges in Pierce’s dininghall until the beginning ofspring quarter.“They are over-staffed atPierce’s food service. Thedirector thought he shouldmake changes right away.But the students who wrote tothe Maroon were right. Stu¬dents rely on their jobs — it’snot right to make cuts inhours at this point in thequarter,” commented Tur¬kington.Turkington said he couldsympathize with the students’situation when they firstheard of the cuts, but that hewishes the students hadbrought the matter directly tohim. “I have sent a letter to all students employed by thePierce dining hall to let themknow that their hours won’tchange until next quarter. Noone will be layed off now. Theamount of money we wouldsave by cutting hours rightwouldn’t make that big a dif¬ference.” Dean Turkingtondenied rumors that the cutshad already started, “Onestudents was let go thisquarter, but that was for un¬satisfactory performance onthe job.”Stating that Pierce’s dininghall has not experienced anygreat reduction in the numberof people it serves daily, DeanTurkington said the oversche¬duling is due to “simple short¬sightedness.” “They didn’tpay enough attention to sche¬duling needs. Part of theproblem is that we have toomany students on someshifts. No one’s position willbe cut completely, but somestudents will lose hours ifthey can’t work when we needthem.”Adding that it does not ap¬pear that any full-time foodservice employees at Piercewill be cut, Dean Turkingtonsaid, “We can’t reduce thefull-time staff and replacethem with student employees.We have a certain number offull-time employees in eachdining hall.” Dean Turking¬ ton stated that no exact fig¬ures are available yet on howmany hours will be cut fromstudents’ jobs, or how resche¬duling will affect student em¬ployees in the food service.By Larry KavanaghContrary to an advertise¬ment in last Tuesday’sMaroon placed by BradSmith, vice-president of Stu¬dent Government, nominat¬ing petitions for the CollegeStudent Association were notavailable to students on Tues¬day, and were not madeavailable until Thursday af¬ternoon.The CSA is only an ideanow, but after elections by un¬dergraduates at the begin¬ning of Spring quarter, it willbecome the only student-selected body to represent theCollege. Students wishing tobe placed on the ballot in thiselection are required to sub¬mit an official petition withthe signatures of at least 15undergraduates to theMailroom or to Harper 280 be¬fore March 22. At least ten un- By Terry TrojanekIn response to PresidentReagan’s proposed federalloan cuts, University Presi¬dent Hanna Gray said thatthe university would fightthat proposal. President Graysaid that the proposals have along way to go and that shewas “hopeful that they wouldnot be adopted.” DeborahHyatt, Director of Govern¬ment Relations for the Uni¬versity, said that the schoolwould be “very very active”in fighting the loan cuts.The proposed loan cutswould make students fromfamilies with incomes of$32,000 ineligible for federalloans, and would place a ceil¬ing of $4000 per year in aid forany individual. According toGray, these proposals wouldcreate “hardship” and would“decrease student opportuni¬ty.”President Gray also re¬sponded to comments by thenew Secretary of Education,William Bennett, in which hecriticized both students andthe quality of higher educa¬tion. Gray claimed that Ben-dergrduates have tried tc getpetitions, sources in theMailroom and Harper 280 es¬timated.Herman Sinaiko. dean ofstudents in the college, whoseoffice is funding the election,expressed concern over themissing petitions, and saidthat he has been unable tocontact the individualscharged by him to run theelection: Chris Hill, presidentof Student Government, andSmith. The dean speculatedthat the deadline for return¬ing petitions might be extend¬ed to next quarter, if the peti¬tions do not appear soon.Sinaiko explained that Hilland Smith were originallyconsulted about the formationof the CSA since they are un¬dergraduates, and leaders ofthe University-wide StudentGovernment. The latter two nett was working under afalse assumption that “stu¬dents can go anywhere theychoose.” Instead students canand should be able to go wher¬ever they are qualified. Addi¬tionally she pointed out that“students aren’t receivinghandouts,” that instead theyare, “working hard and re¬paying loans” and making aconsiderable contributiontoward their education.Gray said further that Ben¬nett’s comments were “hardto take seriously,” and were“not helpful to higher educa¬tion in general.” According toher, it is in the best long-termnational interest to continuethe program, though it is avalid issue whether the inter¬est rates for subsidized feder¬al loans should be altered.The University will be lob¬bying directly to represent itsinterests to the government.It will also be working veryclosely with other universi¬ties. the American Council ofEducation, and the NationalAssociation of IndependentColleges and Universities.advised that the Collegechoose the structure of thenew' organization through areferendum. Because theCSA is scheduled to start re¬ceiving funds from the in¬creased student activities feein the spring, the referendumand any following electionswere turned over to StudentGovernment in hopes thatthis would expedite the for¬mation of a representativebody in the College.The rush to get the CSA inplace left little time for consi¬deration of who should runthe election. Sinaiko con¬fessed, “I’m a little embar¬rassed by the whole thingnow.” Sinaiko said that otheroptions, such as the use of theDean's Student AdvisoryCommittee or a committeeappointed by the Dean,should have been considered.Lack of petitions stall creation ofCollege representative bodyYearbook reaches senior photo goalBy Alex ConroyFour-hundred-two seniorshad their portraits taken forthe University of Chicago1984-85 Yearbook.

Gilbert and Arthur Sulli¬van. This work, perhaps their mostwidely known effort, opened at Lon¬don’s Savoy Theatre on March 14,1885.This year also marks the 25th anni¬versary of the founding of Chicago’sGilbert & Sullivan Opera Company,which staged its anniversaries in offer¬ing The Mikado as its annual prod¬uction this year. Opening night for 1'heMikado is Thursday, March 14, 1985, at7:30 p.m., in Mandel Hall, 57th and Uni¬versity Avenue.Before the performance there will bean Opening Night Observance ceremo¬ny, at which presentations will bemade in honor of the two anniversariesbeing celebrated. In particular, threepeople who participated in the Com¬pany’s original production in 1960 andwho are involved in the present prod¬uction will be recognized as QuarterCentury Award recipients.Subsequent performances in MandelHall are Friday and Saturday, March15-16, at 8:00 a.m., and Sunday, March17, at 2:00 p.m. These are all under thesponsorship of The University of Chica¬go Department of Music, for the ben¬efit of its critically acclaimed perfor¬mance groups: Collegium Musicum,New Music Ensemble, UniversityChamber Orchestra, UniversityChorus, and the University SymphonyOrchestra.Further performances are sche¬duled: an abbreviated concert versionunder the auspices of the Mostly MusicMid-day Series, at the First ChicagoCenter, on March 19, 1985; two perfor¬ mances at the Beverly Art Center, 2153111th Street, on April 13, 1985; and twoperformances under the auspices ofthe University’s Court SummerTheatre on July 26-27, 1985.Two related events are taking placearound the time of this centennial prod¬uction of The Mikado.First, the HydePark Historial Society is mounting anexhibit recalling twenty-five years ofperformances by the Gill »ert & SullivanOpera Company. Displaying modelsets, costumes, programs, photos andother artifacts, the exhibit will beopened the weekend of March 16-17 atthe Society’s Headquarters, 5529 S.Lake Park Avenue, and will be on viewfor several weeks.Second, a Mikado Anniversary Galawill be held on Saturday, March 23, atIda Noyes Hall on the Universitycampus. This event is open to Gilbertand Sullivan buffs, University studentsand faculty, and community residents(the three categories have manymembers in common). The intention isto recall without actually replicatingthe 1886 Mikado Ball held by Mrs. Mar¬shall Field in the Prairie Avenue Man¬sion, at the time that The Mikadoachieved its initial popular successtouring the United States. The Gala ispresented by the Hyde Park HistoricalSociety and the Gilbert & SullivanOpera Company, with the sponsorshipof The University of Chicago Depart¬ment of Music.The Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Com¬pany is a strictly amateur performingcompany, taking advantage of the wil¬lingness (nay, eagerness) of many whoknow the works of this great British ar¬tistic team to perform them at anygiven opportunity.

Concerning eachissue, intelligent and concerned indi¬viduals feel obligated to choose a sideand spout its rhetoric, while turning adeaf ear to the arguments on the otherside.If I wished to continue in the spirit ofacrimonious debate, I would respond toJohn Egan with a list of the incidents inwhich innocent Israelis have been vic¬timized by Palestinians. Mr. Eganbegins by discussing former Israeli De¬fense Minister Ariel Sharon’s libel suitagainst Time Magazine. Egan ques¬tions whether a man whose “hands areso bloody,” has a reputation that any¬one could defame. But the bulk of hispiece describes various wrongs againstthe Palestinians committed by Sharonor other Israelis, going back to 1948.Egan seems to be criticizing theIsraeli Minister for being a militaryleader in a country whose neighborshave refused to make peace for 37years (with the recent exception ofEgypt). Egan shows a suitable human¬istic distress over the career of a manhe calls “perhaps the most violent fig¬ure in Israeli politics today.” But evenif Sharon is the monster that Egan triesto establish (citing three events whichtook place over a 30 year span), this isbeside the point.It is naive to point the finger at oneman or at one side in a conflict that haslasted nearly two generations. Pales¬tinians have committed violenceagainst Israelis, as well as vice versa.The Ma'alot massacre of Israeli schoolchildren and the slaughter of Israeliatheletes at the 1972 Munich Olympicsare two well-known examples. Indeed,the Palestinians have been terrorizedby their Arab brothers, as well as bytheir Israeli neighbors. (In September1970, the Jordanian Army killed thou¬sands in a nine day attack on fedayeenbases and refugee camps inside Jor¬danian territory - see, The PLO and thePolitics of Survival, Aaron Miller.)But if wrongs have been committedon both sides, what do we have left toargue about? What indeed? It is muchharder to maintain a conflict once weadmit that both parties have been in¬jured and deserve a hearing. Of coursemany parties have an interest in main¬taining instability in the Middle EastMr. Egan’s one-sided depiction of theArab-Israeli conflict only assists thosewho wish to see it continued. Yet thiswould not appear to be Mr. Egan’saim, as indicated in his closing para¬graph :And so we go on with a selectivesense of the past. Can anyone be¬lieve that the Israeli-Palestinianconflict will be any less violent inthe future? At what point willAmericans understand this con¬flict in its historical context?I wonder about these same ques¬tions, but I think I have an answer tothem. The violence will continue solong as each side, and its supporters in¬sist on viewing the conflict only in terms of their own historical context,with their own selective sense of thepast.Marilyn WeilTo the editor:John Egan’s commentary on Sharonv. Time is misinformed, and raisesquestions about the moral competenceof its author.Displaying a strange disregard anddistaste for American juridical stan¬dards, Egan cannot make up his mindwhether the case should not have beenallowed to reach court or whether he,Egan, should have been named judge,jury and everyone’s attorney.Let us paraphrase and examine sucharguments as we can find in Egan’s ar¬ticle:1) “The judicial proceedings were ir-revelant to the case since Sharon al¬ready had a reputation as a mass mur¬derer.” Yet the whole court agreed itwas worthwhile to investigate whetherthe Kahan Commission Report urgedSharon’s dismissal on grounds of negli¬gence while acknowledging in its un¬published section, Appendix B, thatSharon encouraged the massacres.Egan missed the story.2) “The Kahan Commission Reportwas a whitewash.” Here Egan makestwo sub-arguments: “The Kahan Com¬mission barred many relevant wit¬nesses” and “Indirect responsibility isnot a serious legal idea.” Both sub-ar¬guments are incorrect. As to the first,Egan gives no evidence and so it is notworth further attention. As to the sec¬ond, Egan mentions that “scholars ofinternational law” agree with him buthe does not name them. Even if henamed them, one would be curious tosee their arguments. But at the veryleast one suspects that Egan neverread the Commission’s Report. TheCommission developed numerous ar¬guments on the bases of internationallaw, Jewish legal tradition and civi¬lized norms, and in its conclusions itheld that individuals who were notpresent at the site of the massacreswere nevertheless indirectly responsi¬ble if they could have anticipated thembut failed to do so. Egan is out of hisdepth and he should study these argu¬ments.The document is actually a model ofprecision, grace and judicial integrity,and should be read by anyone who is in¬terested in the events as well as in thelegal issues.3) “The Israeli command had a clearline of vision into the camps and wasaware of the massacres as they tookplace.” Since Egan does not limit him¬self to Sharon v. Time but raises othermatters it is worthwhile to take someof these on. As to Israeli proximity tothe massacres, since the Commissionspeaks to this question in great detail,finding indirect responsibility in someinstances but not in others, it would benecessary for Egan to challenge thefindings of the Commission head-on inorder to hold up such an assertion. Inany case, the Commission expresslycontradicts Egan> “clear line of vi¬sion” assertion in its description of thegeography of the camps and the com¬mand post.

Lethim make a real argument.4) “The generally docile Americanmedia should have shown film clipsand photographs of Red Cross workersexhuming Palestinian bodies; thatwould have convinced many peoplethat Sharon is a mass murderer.” Thelogic of the statement is uproarious.Egan must be aberrantly cynical or heis beyond rational discourse.5) “Sharon’s megalomania was ob¬scured by a subservient Americanmedia... How long will we let him bullyus?” This, unfortunately, is the bottomline of Egan’s article. Not only hasEgan failed to make an argument thistime, too, but he may have displayedmore of himself than he intended. But Idoubt it.George GrossGraduate Student - HumanitiesTo the editor:Not satisfied with the decision of anAmerican court in the case of Sharon v.Time, John Egan finds it necessary topronounce a judgement of his own. InEgan’s opinion, Sharon did not even de¬serve a trial. In Egan’s opinion, Sharonis guilty before he has had his day incourt. Fortunately, American law isnot based on opinion, but upon princi¬ples of law. Such principles do notallow predetermined judgements to de¬cide a case.If Mr. Egan is dissatisfied with theproceedings of the court, let him sayso, and let him say why he thinks thelegal process was not satisfactory. Asit stands, his entire argument is basedon his opinion that Shron’s reputationeliminated his right to a trial. Such anopinion has no legal basis.Mr. Egan also denounces Israel’sKahan commission for its “light” jud¬gement of Sharon. So far as can beseem from Egan’s piece, the judge¬ment was “light” only because it wasnot in concert with his own weightyopinions.This is not to say that any of Mr.Egan’s opinions are original. He bor¬rows heavily from the Americanmedia. He then goes on to fault themedia for being “docile” and “subser¬vient.” The “docile” American mediahas provided the bulk of his argu¬ments. And if it is, as he charges, “sub¬servient,” the question is: Subservientto whom? To Ariel Sharon? To the in¬ternational Zionist conspiracy? Thecharge of subservience is a seriousone, and ought to be supported by someevidence.Apparently, though, Egan thinks hisassertions can stand on their own. Hisdisdain for the legal process, Americanand Israeli, is therefore not surprising.The legal process requires sound con¬vincing, arguments, not mere asser¬tions of opinion. Serious criticism alsorequires substantive arguments, andMr. Egan, convinced of the absolutecorrectness of his opinions, has forgot¬ten this.Paul EllenbogenHow many times does John Eganhave to write the same article? Inevery article Mr. Egan writes, he criti¬cizes Israel for violating the rights ofPalestinians, killing innocent civilians,and general immorality. In his latestarticle, Mr. Egan uses Ariel Sharon’slibel suit against Time magazine as themeans to criticize Israel. Under theguise of examining Mr. Sharon’s re¬cord in relation to his libel suit, Mr.Egan presents us with an allegedly ac¬curate history of Israel’s actionstoward Palestinians on the West Bankand in Gaza. In addition, we are givenan account of the conditions in Lebanonwhich were supposedly caused by theIsraeli army. Do not be puzzled if thecontent of Mr. Egan’s article soundsfamiliar to you, because these are thesame major points which Mr. Egan hashad every time he has decided to en¬lighten us by writing an article for theMaroon.As equally disturbing as Mr. Egan’sarticle is the treatment of this article inthe Maroon. The Maroon staff placedMr Egan’s article on page three of lastFriday’s edition. Although this pagewas marked ‘Viewpoints’, the other ar¬ ticle on the page was a factual articleabout the plans for the 1992 World’sFair. Since page three usually onlycontains announcements and factualarticles similar to the one about theWorld’s Fair, some people may havemistakenly believed that Mr. Egan’sarticle was more than the misleadingpiece of propaganda which it is. Amore appropriate place for Mr. Eganarticle would have been in the sectionfor letters to the editor or on a leaflet tobe passed out in Reynolds Club or onthe Quads.Mr. Egan bases his criticism ofIsrael upon facts which are exaggerat¬ed, distorted, and misleading. For ex¬ample, he cites the fact that food,water, and medicine were often cut offfrom the people of Beirut. Who cut offthe medical supplies? Mr. Egan doesnot say He also states that during thesummer of 1982 “conventional andanti-personnel weapons poured into thecity and terrorized a defenseless civil¬ian population”. Who terrorized thepeople of West Beirut? Mr. Egan doesnot say. Could he be referring to thePLO terrorists who stored weapons inhospitals and focused their attacks oncivilian targets? Could this refer to thePLO terrorists who walked the streetsof West Beirut armed with machineguns? It was the PLO who used theirweapons to force the civilians of WestBeirut to remain in their houses andprovide shelters and hideaways formembers of their group, not the Israeliarmy. This is the same PLO which ter¬rorized the people of Southern Lebanonfor six years before they were forced toretreat to Beirut by the Israeli army.However, having read Mr. Egan’s ar¬ticles in the past, I believe that he is re¬ferring to the Israeli armv, not to thePLO.The Israeli army undoubtablybrought a large amount of weapons toBeirut, but they did not “terrorize a de¬fenseless civilian population” as Mr.Egan charges. In fact, they did almosteverything possible to avoid civiliancasualties. Several days before bomb¬ing a PLO headquarters or weaponsstorage area (which the PLO coura¬geously placed in hospitals or denselypopulated civilian areas), The IsraeliAir Force would drop leaflets warningthe people of the impending attack.Even though this gave the PLO ad¬vanced knowledge of Israeli attacks,Israel did this so the civilians wouldhave time to leave the area before thebombing began. No other nation in theworld has gone so far as to prevent ci¬vilian casualties during a war. Facedwith the difficult task of fighting a ter¬rorist group in densely populated civil¬ian areas, Israel chose to put its ownmen at risk by giving advance warningof its attacks rather than killing inno¬cent civilians along with the terrorists.This does not sound like the groupwhich Mr. Egan implies terrorized thedefenseless civilian population of WestBeirut.Mr. Egan not only ignores factswhich conflict with his opinion, but healso creates facts where he finds it nec¬essary. Since Mr. Egan could not graspthe meaning of “indirect responsibili¬ty”, which was how the Kahan com¬mission described Mr. Sharon’s role inthe massacres at Sabra and Shatila, heconcludes on his own that Mr. Sharonhad “overall responsibility” for themassacres. Apparently Mr. Egan pos¬sesses more knowledge and informa¬tion about Mr. Sharon’s role in Sabraand Shatila than the Kahan Commis¬sion. In addition to creating evidence,any real facts which Mr. Egan doeschoose to include are distorted by hisexaggerated statements (“Sharon’shands are so bloody they make CentralAmerican dictators look like paci¬fists”) and biased presentation. Mr.Egan’s charge that we have a “select¬ed sense of the past” can be appliedmuch more appropriately to his ownwriting.It is disturbing to see an articlewhich contains as much hyperbole,misrepresentation, and distortion asMr. Egan’s be presented as factuallyaccurate; however, we understandthat the Maroon is obligated to publisharticles with various viewpoints, re-gardless of their position and accura¬cy. Therefore, we must appeal to Mr.Egan: Until you have something newto say and are ready to present it in areasonably balanced fashion, pleaserestrict your writing to the Palestiniannewsletter of which you are the editor,not the Chicago Maroon.Eric FisherLisa MaghasStudents in the CollegeTo the Editor:Instead of sporadic and all too infre¬quent appearances in the “View¬points” section of the Maroon, why nothave a regular, two page, John P.Egan “I Hate Israel” column each andevery week? Two inestimable benefitswould be the result. Mr. Egan would bespared the necessity of searching eachtime for an ostensible topic (such as, inthe recent issue, the reputation of Mr.Sharon); and we, in the Universitycommunity, could enjoy being in¬formed on Middle East issues moresteadily — indeed incessantly —through Mr. Egan’s unremitting witand thoroughly unbiased scholarship.Saadya SternbergSecond Year Grad in PhilosophyCALENDARMarch 14: “China’s Second Thoughtson Communism,” by Dick Wilson, free¬lancer and former Editor of Far East¬ern Review and China Quarterly.

In thesixties it was break up the Celtics. In the eighties thenew call may be break up the Big East. On Sunday,the NCAA will announce the teams which will com¬prise the field of 64 teams for the 1985 tournament,and it is probably that 5 of the 9 teams in the Big Eastwill be there. But most importantly it is also likelythat two of those five teams will be in Lexington,Kentucky on March 30 as part of the Final Four.Boston College, Syracuse and Villanova will be in¬vited to the tourney and all three teams have a betterthan average chance of making the “sweet sixteen.”St. John’s and Georgetown will receive the top seedin the East and West Regionals. Who goes where de¬pends on this week’s Big East tourney. No matterwhere they go they are still favorites to make up thehalf of the Final Four.Although other conferences will put five or moreteams into the tournament, none of the conferencesis as deep as the Big East. All the teams invited fromthe Big Ten, with the exception of Michigan, arelongshots even to make the round of eight, and in theACC, only North Carolina and Duke have a reason¬able chance of making it into the later rounds.The Big East started five years ago under the guid¬ance of Dick Gavitt as a conglomeration of mediocreteams. Syracuse had been coming down from theirglory years of the mid-seventies, and St. John’s hadbecome a home for refugee basketball players whowere not happy with their initial choice of a college(I wish I was so lucky). Georgetown’s basketballprogram had just started and the other teams wereconveniently located in the New England area.Today, because of Gavitt and the Big East’s reputa¬tion, these schools are guaranteed to prosper in thefuture. When a team like Providence goes recruit¬ing, it can boast the national coverage it gets when itplays Georgetown or St. John’s. The establishedteams have made names for themselves as baske-ball powerj and attracting the best players in thecountry will be no problem. All the great talent onthe streets of the eastern megalopolis no longer haveto turn to the cotton belt to play ball. They’ll stayhome and make sure they get richer.The Big East already boasts some of the nation’stop talent. At least four Big East players will bedrafted in the first round. Ed Pickney of Villanova and Bill Wenningion of St. John’s will go in the mid-dle-to-iate first round, and depending on draftingorder, Chris Mullin and Patrick Ewing will be thefirst two picks.There is even more talent where they come from.Walter Berry, in his first season at St. John’s, can goin the first round if he jumps ship this year, but hecan be player of the year if he hangs around anotheryear. Syracuse has its own player of the year can¬didate in Pearl Washington. The stellar point guardfor the Orangemen is in his second year, and he al-. ready has the inside track on being the best guard incollege basketball. If both these players stay a whilelonger, they could comprise another one-two draftfrom the Big East.Off the court, the Big East coaches can compete onthe same level as those from any other conference.Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim can throw objects with thebest of them, and Lou Carneseca’s sweater is as uglyas anything Bobby Knight or Denny Crum can throwon their backs. Also, the sight of 6’ 10” John Thomp¬son stalking up and down the sidelines is much moreintimidating than the sight of Jim Valvano rantingand raving, trying to get his big schnoze on nationaltelevision so he can sell more cookbooks.And best of all, the Big East gets to play its mostimportant games in the basketball mecca of theworld, Madison Square Garden. This alone givesthem instant credibility as the best college confer¬ence because only the best get the best.Down with legalized sports betting, or,Eastern Provincialism IIby Dennis ChanskyAs the tournament rolls around and I peruse thefinal conference results, my stone-cold NewYorker’s heart breaks, and even aches. The MetroAtlantic Conference, the big MAAC, is all that is leftof the college name in the Archdiocese of New York(St. John’s is in the Brooklyn Diocese, which is whyArchbishop O’Connor couldn’t get tickets for theGeorgetown game at the Garden). As you’ve proba¬bly heard, or remember, NYU, CCNY, Fordham,Iona, Manhattan and St. John’s once formed the geo¬graphic nucleus of teams, which, if confederated,would have shamed today’s ACC or Big East.In New York, the Giants, Dodgers and Yankees filled our outdoor seasons with goodness and light,and the perfection of eastern basketball, with its pin¬point passing and sharp-shooting completed a sportscycle which was our heaven on earth. But the no¬good G.-D. bastards moved to the west coast (youwondered where that expression came from), andscandal with a capital “S” rocked eastern collegiatebasketball. God sent us the Mets, but he also sent usthe MAAC. He forgave us our apathy in supportingNew York National League baseball, but he has notyet fully forgiven us our sports betting scandal.Sports betting is definately a mixed blessing. If aperson fellows sports for the thrill involved, but oc¬casionally sees an opportunity to make a littlemoney off of his sports knowledge, I see nothingwrong with that. This past weekend a certain beard¬ed scribe hit on six of six bets. This guy usuallydoesn’t bet, but he caught the spread-makers nap¬ping. He could have made much more money if hecould have found more people willing to bet, but thisis the University of Chicago. If sports betting werelegal in Chicago, he really would have cleaned up.But sports betting won’t be legalized for that poorscribe. It will be legalized for slime molds like theones who brought the wrath of God down on easternbasketball. And legal sports betting outside of Vegaswould make point-shaving a greater threat than everin the past. Recently, former Duke coach BuckyWaters remarked that if players already accept somuch illegal money and so many illegal gifts fromrecruiters, coaches and alumni, wait to see how theireyes light up when the gamblers approach them witha point-shaving proposition.But if everyone were exposed to pressure from big-time gamblers, then maybe basketball everywherewould be reduced to the level it’s at in New York, andthe MACC might become a true power. If such scan¬dals rocked the whole nation, I suspect the bestplayers would flee north to the CCAA, or transfer toU of Pisa, Florence U or U of Bologna in the ICAA.But eastern basketball is dead and is never comingback. But I guess I’m against legalized sports bet¬ting. Not that I don’t wish pox on the basketball pro¬grams outside of New York. Legal sports bettingdraws away revenue from horse racing, and NewYork is still the center of the horse racing universe. Idon’t want to tempt God to take that away from ustoo. I’d hate to see Yonkers, Belmont, Roosevelt, Aq¬ueduct and even the Meadowlands reduced to theMAAC of American racing.WHAT’S NEW AT SPIN - IT.0 OF TODAYS’ BEST LP’S A TAPES ON$5.99 $5.99MADONNALike A VirginCASSETTEi coupon—^$1.00 OFFANYCD.—SPIN-IT—fmI ATLANTIC!

When the tour¬nament was over, the Maroons, onceagain, had an All-American in KarlLietzan. Unfortunately, Gene Shin, theother half of the dynamic duo, couldnot repeat in his quest for his secondAll-American title.Lietzan, at 167 lbs., was seeded thirdbut had to settle for fifth. He won hisfirst two matches but lost to J. Monacoof Mountclair State College of New Jer¬sey, in the semifinals. As it turned out,Monaco went on to become the DivisionIII national champion. Lietzan thenlost in the wrestling back match 7-4. Fi¬nally in the match for fifth place, Liet¬zan had to wrestle the tournamentsnumber one seed, K. Canyero of SUNYBinghamton, who too had been upset.This proved to be what Kocher called“Karl’s best match of the entire tour¬nament” as he defeated Canyero in a .very hard fought match 8-6. Thus Liet¬zan ended his collegiate career byearning himself in a fifth place finishand All-American honors for the sec¬ond consecutive year.Kocher said of Lietzan, “I’m veryhappy for Karl as he really deservedAll-American honors. This year’s fieldwas much tougher than last year’s andKarl should not be ashamed of finish¬ing fifth.”Shin, at 190 lbs., was seeded fifth butwas upset in his opening match as hewas uncharacteristically pinned. Thisearly upset resulted in the eliminationof Shin from the tournament. ThusShin, who placed fourth in the nationlast year, failed to repeat his achieve¬ment. Kocher said of Shin, “I don’twant to ao* like Gene was the firstwrestler to ever be upset in a tourna¬ment. This type of thing happens quiteoften. On the other hand. Gene wasseeded fifth and I feel that he deservedthat seeding or even a higher one. Hejust didn’t wrestle well in his match.”Shin, only a junior, will have next yearto prove that this was nothing but afluke. With the conclusion of this tourna¬ment ended the 1984 <j5 Maroon wres¬tling season. Kocher summed up theentire season by saying “We were 9-0in dual meets, a very strong second inthe MCAC conference, and we man¬aged to represent the University of Chi¬cago again in the Division III nationalchampionships, where we once again put someone into the semUIinl* Asfor our seniors, Karl Lk ^an, Georgv.Dupper, Mike Perz, and Don Elsen-heimer, they all had a great four yearshere. This year alone, they had a com¬bined total of 85 wins. They workedhard, always gave a 100% effort, andabove all, represented the Universityof Chicago in a respectable fashion. I’m really going to miss them and I^ish them the very best All in allwe wrfcolIc'J well. However, instead ofreflecting on this season and our suc¬cess, I would much rather thuik aboutnext season and of the success thatahead.” On that note, one can expect tosee the Maroons on top once again nextseason.Tennis team off to strong startThe University of Chicago men’stennis team, the defending championsin the Midwest Conference, openedtheir season last Friday with a strongshowing in an eight team tournamentin Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The Maroonsswept all six singles matches in theiropening match to defeat UW-GreenBay, 8-1, then challenged nationallyranked UW-Whitewater before losing,6-3.Bob Buchanan, playing at numberone singles, had little trouble in win¬ning his UW-Green Bay match 6-7, 6-3,6-2. Jay Woldenberg shut out his oppo¬nent at number two singles by an im-presive 6-0, 6-0 score. Henry Lujan atnumber three, and Clifford Ko atnumber four played very well in notch¬ing straight set victories by the scoresof 6-2, 6-3, and 6-3, 6-3 respectively. PhilMowery at number five, and GeorgeLyden at number six were also able towin their matches without relinquish¬ing a set by scoring victories of 6-1, 6-2,and 6-2, 6-3 respectively.The Maroons were also able to wintwo of the three doubles matches withvictories coming at the number one po¬sition where the number one team ofWoldenberg and Mowery won instraight sets of 6-1, 6-3, and at thenumber three postion w'here the fresh¬man team of George Lyden and CarlStanley held off their opponents for a6-4, 3-6, 6-4 victory.

At thenumber one position, Buchanan playedbrilliantly, defeating his highly regard¬ed opponent in straight sets 7-6, 6-1. Atthe second and third spots Woldenbergand Lujan played well but eventuallylost by the identical scores of 6-2, 6-3.Ko, playing at number four singles,and Mowery at number five singles,each played their opponents evenly be¬fore losing tough three set matches.Mowery’s match was particularly dis¬appointing for him because hestretched his opponent to a third set tie¬breaker score of 17-15 before he was fi¬nally edged out.In the number six position, Lyden, afreshman, played extremely well, de¬feating his opponent in three toughsets. The crucial point of this matchcame in the third set when Lyden faceda match point at five games to four. Heresponded to the challenge by hitting amagnificent Rosewallesque return ofserve past his onrushing opponent.From there, he had little difficultywrapping up the match with a 7-5 thirdset victory.The sole doubles victory came at thenumber three position where thestrong team of Lujan and Ko respond¬ed to the challenge by pulling out aclose three set victory. After startingout slowly and dropping the first set,Lujan and Ko regrouped and took thenext two sets in impressive fashion 7-5,6-4.After this performance by theMaroons, Coach Bill Simms remainsoptimistic about the team saying. “Ithink we have an excellent chance ofrepeating as conference champions.Also, I feel we still have an outsidechance of qualifying for the nationaltournament as a team . ” In addition to the possibility of quali¬fying as a team for the “nationals”,Simms feels confident that Buchananwill be invited to the tournament say¬ing, “After his performance here (Osh¬kosh), I think he may have assuredhimself a berth in the nationals.”It was an especially impressive per¬formance by Buchanan who suffered aserious eye injury just ten days beforethe tournament. However, by wearingprotective goggles and electing not toplay doubles, Buchanan was able toplay, and play well in the tournament.Although Coach Simms is en¬couraged by the team’s performance,he feels the Midwest Conference re¬mains a tough obstacle to overcomeciting Ripon College as perhaps “thebest of the rest.”“We’re still the team to beat,” saysSimms. “W’e won the Conference lastyear and we are a stronger and deeperteam than last year.”Returning from last year's squadare: Woldenberg (last year’s numberone and a sophomore), juniors Lujanand Ko, and team captain Mowery. thelone senior on the team.In addition to the returnees, CoachSimms has added transfers Buchanan(the current number one player), ajunior from Marquette University, andJohn O’Connor, another junior transferfrom Loyola University.Also included in this year’s squad areLyden from Massachusetts. Car] Stan- 'ley from Iowa, and Suleiman “Snider-man” Ghaussay from Afghanistan.To prepare for the tough conferenceschedule ahead, Coach Simms said“We will work primarily on strategicaland technical areas.”The Maroons' schedule resumes onApril 9th in a dual meet against theUniversity of Illinois-Chicago.Off the IM Wire Undergrad residence final fourMarch madness has arrived—the IMbasketball playoffs are underway.Here’s a Final Four preview of the un¬dergrad residence league.Fiji A—This is one of the hottest teamsin the league. Fiji suffered its only lossearly in the year to Filbey. Since thenFiji has run off seven straight wins in¬cluding a victory over Filbey to claimfirst place, and two playoff wins overBreckenridge and previously undefeat¬ed Tufts. Fiji combines the front courtstrength of Mike Marietti, Ted Repassand Ted Vorhees with the backcourtspeed of Bob Dickey and the outsideshooting of John Burrill. Fiji probablyhas the deepest bench of the fourteams.Hitchcock A—Coach Anthony B.Cashman III has his troops back on theprowl after two narrow mid-season de¬feat losses to Upper Rickert. Hitchcockhas won both its playoff games by do¬uble digits, first Blackstone, 46-35, andthen undefeated Henderson. 47-34.Hitchcock uses an aggressive zone de¬fense and team-play offense. Hitch¬cock lacks a second and third big man,dropping from their 6-6 center EricUptel to 6-1 on the frontline, but theyare aided by strong guard rebound¬ing.Upper Rickert—The only undefeatedteam left in the playoffs, although theyhaven’t had a tough game since the twomid-season battles with Hitchcock, afact which could be detrimental duringthe tough competition of the final four.Upper Rickert has relied on its defenseall year long with an inconsistent of¬fense. The offense was on an upbeatthough in a 58-32 defeat of Coulter/Sa¬lisbury in the quarter-finals. Twin towers Eric Smith and Paul Song leadthe defense with their shot-blockingability.Fallers House—Defense has led thishouse to an unexpected trip to the finalfour. But they have been quite possiblythe most impressive team so far. al¬lowing an average of only 25 points pergame in two playoff appearances.Their average winning margin is 14. in¬cluding a 46-28 rout of Shorey in thequarter-finals.* * *In graduate action, the upset of theplayoffs occurred as the Hi-Tops werestunned 43-42 by Fire at Will.

When we’re very young, we realizethat while achievement is valued in boys,girls are valued for their obedience.Our culture tells us in myriad ways thatthe ideal state of womanhood is servitude.Advertising and the popular media show¬case female role models of servitude: thenubile sexual servant, the maternal nur¬turing servant, the secretarial hero-worshipping servant. The woman who su¬bordinates her personality and devotesher life’s energy to an appropriate male(be it father, son, husband, lover, or em¬ployer) is lauded, while the woman whoremoves herself from a position of servi¬tude to males is feared, hated, or ridi¬culedFreud tells us that women are innatelymasochistic; we are alleged to be submis¬sive by virtue of a natural developmentalprocess, and not a social construction. Be¬cause this idea is a comfortable one for thedominant (read white patriarchal) culture,precious little reconsideration of Freud’stheories of female sexuality (which, eventhe strictest Freudian should concede, areunderdeveloped at best) has occured.There have been great leaps in our under¬standing and analysis of female sexualityin the last 20 or 30 years, but no new workhas had the impact on society’s conceptionof women that the earliest work of psy¬choanalysis had. Consider, for example,the theory of penis envy—a half-bakedidea at best, and at worst a very destruc¬tive point from which to proceed; but howmany people are familiar with the ideaand accept it as fact, compared to those fa¬miliar with more recent work on the sub¬ject of female sexuality?As adult women of a generation sexual¬ly “liberated” by relatively sophisticatedand readily available methods of birthcontrol, (as well as a growing tolerance forpluralism), we have constructed a newnorm, barely conceived of in, Freudiananalysis: the short-term sexual relation¬ship. Most of us do have “premarital”sex, most of us have multiple partners,and most of us expect our relationships tobe finite in duration. More women of ourgeneration will spend more time “single”(either by choosing lesbianism, by marry¬ing late in life, not marrying at all, or di¬vorcing) than of any generation in ourmemories. And this is a good and equaliz¬ing thing; behavior that has long been ac¬cepted for men is fast becoming accept¬able for women. But while removing thethreat to our collective self-image that theold double-standard presented, our pres¬ent state of relative “liberation” presentsa whole new set of threats.Namely, the danger lies in the problem¬atic idea that because we have free choiceof our sexual partners, we are necesarilyin a relatively power-balanced relation tothem. There is a degree of truth in this, inas far as we have greater freedom thanour mothers to learn from our mistakes,choosing our partners with judgementbased on experience.But those women who choose men aspartners are automatically caught in apower-imbalance which both partnersmust consciously resist, if they are to rec¬tify it. The imbalance exists because mendominate our culture, despite their plain¬tive insistence that they are “sick of hear¬ing about women s lib and women arealready equal" and “women can do what¬ever they want”. To have a relationsnip with a man is to submit to the patriarchalprescription of what is appropriate. Ifboth partners do not take steps to pre¬serve and foster the woman’s individualidentity, then it will be seriously under¬mined by her relationship to a man.But even if both partners do aspire to abalanced relationship with a balanced so¬cial aspect, they are still at the mercy ofdeep and irltractable subconscious con¬structions about proper gender roles. Weare not so easily freed of our “training”—the compulsion to submit has been bat¬tered through all our senses for all of ourlives into our non-conscious minds. Ourself-images, our systems of moral judg¬ment, our dreams and even our fantasieshave been violated—all violated by thegreat lie which tells us that we desire vio¬lation.The bed is our battleground, and thewar we fight is with ourselves. Our think¬ing, loving, self-respecting selves, theselves that desire a true meeting of heartsand minds—these selves battle againstour nihilistic selves. A victory of the nihil¬istic self is poison to a relationship: wesubmit; we are alienated by our lovers’probable inability to perceive our painand distance; we are hurt, and we are si¬lent; our respect for our lovers is so far di¬minished that we don’t even want to shareour pain with them; we feel hypocritical,guilty, and lonely; our respect for our¬selves is undermined. Our relationshipsare poisoned.It is, perhaps, too idealistic to hope for arelationship of perpetual perfect balance(be it heterosexual or homosexual), evenif both partners have the best of inten¬tions. But a relationship exists in a span oftime, and one might hope that a balancecould exist over a span of time, with eachpartner submitting and dominating, mutu¬ally and respectfully and honestly, so thatneither’s self-respect would be under¬mined. In any case, the patriarchal and ex¬ploitative nature of our present worldcompels us, as women, to be especiallywary of any type of submission. Hope forbalance, but don’t get screwed again.WHY I AMA FEMINISTWhen asked to explain why I am a fe¬minist, I can only fall back on something afriend of mine once said. “The most impor¬tant thing my parents taught me,” shesaid, “ was to respect myself.” The same istrue of me. And because of this self-respect, I find it impossible to exist in thissociety without being outraged at the con¬stant attempts to degrade me and otherwomen. My reaction is much the same asthe outrage I feel when I hear an anti-Semitic remark. As a woman I am con¬stantly subject to such attacks.Because I am a woman, I am told mybody is not mine; it exists to serve malepleasure and to make babies. I am toldthat my needs are less important thanihose of others (especially men) in my life.Because I am a woman, but I rebel againstthe role dictated to me. I am accused ofhating men, hating children, of being im¬moral. But I am none of these things. I amsimply a person with self-respect. As menare always taught to do, I refuse to placemyself in a subordinate rr!c. I refuse tosubjugate my needs to those ot others lwill not be what someone else wants me tobe. — Carolyn Shapiro .. -SUBMISSION:PATRIARCHALPRESCRIPTIONJThe University of Chicago Department of Music present*:UNIVERSITYSYMPHONYORCHESTRABARBARA SCHUBERT,CONDUCTORSATURDAY.

Ar¬kush, the genius behind the Rock andRoll High School of a few years ago,keeps the faith, and continues hisfascination with the pop-musicgenre, bringing forth a truly amus¬ing and brilliant comedy about theNew Year’s Eve rock-bash at a“club” in Los Angeles. The talents engaged for the evening, includingMalcolm, Lou Reed, and bluessingers Bill Henderson and FranklinAjaye, get down, get crazy and,with the aid of Electric Larry (he’s adeaths-head puppet, with a meancombination suitcase), they put toshame just about every known popu¬lar music genre. From the brainlessbubble-gum pop of the all-girl bandNada to the mournful wailings at agraveyard, where all the mournersare blind, by the king of blues him¬self, King Blues; from the heavy-metal lunacy of the utterly deplor¬able Piggy to Malcolm McDowell(who will always be Caligula to me)belting out his own rendition of"Hootchie Cootchie Man,” all is donehere, with just as much cynicism.Also starring with Mary Woronovand Paul Bartel (of Eating Raoul),Allen Goorwitz and, believe it ornot, eternal straight-man Ed BegleyJr. in a truly amazing role as the cre¬tinous villain who wishes to teardown the rock club.

Sean Penn is a good-for-noth¬ing young scamp, biding his time be¬fore he must enlist in the armyduring World War II, who falls inlove with the eminently attractiveElizabeth McGovern. MeanwhilePenn’s pal, Nick Cage, has acciden¬tally impregnated a girl, and has tofind some money for the abortionreal quick. There is just plenty ofemoting (well, you'd expect it fromthe three leading young actors inHollywood, wouldn’t you?), loads o’weeping, and just a hint of that everpopular loss of innocence theme, justfor you. Richard Benjamin (he wasQuark on NBC a few years ago) isour director, and one rather feelsthat the entire movie is but a walkdown memory lane to his own firstromance. If this be the stuff of firstromance, then it is rather tediousstuff indeed. Give me a light teencomedy any time, rather than one ofthese “intense-youth-dramas”. DOC.Sat Mar 9 at 7, 9 and 11. $2.50.-PRExodus (Otto Preminger. 1960) Thisrestrained and tasteful depiction ofthe Leon Uns novel is a rather tepidtreatment of the Zionist struggle,but as conveyed through Pre¬minger’s masterful story-tellingtechniques it is eminently watch-able. Paul Newman is a nice Jewishboy who falls in love with waspy EvaMarie Saint, while leading his peo¬ple to commit civil disobedienceagainst British Imperialist forces.Meanwhile, Sal Mineo joins the moreviolent Irgun as a demolitions ex¬pert and helps to foment a more ac¬tive rebellion. While quite suitablefor family entertainment, Exodus’only flaw seems to be it* rather sani¬tized portrayal of whai must havebeen some pretty nasty politickingand violent ethnic bigotry.

Meanwhile, an inef¬fectual Tony Randall keeps checkingup on the real scientist who is work¬ing on a formula to make a candymint with the strength of a triplemartini. In the hands of Frank Tash-lin this project might have been muchmore significant than simple light¬hearted farce (as seen in his Capricealso starring Miss Day), but unfor¬tunately only Rock Hudson's unc¬tuousness resonates with any origi¬nality while the rest of the playerstry to recreate roles that they haddone better before.

In Americanblack music, it’s hard to think of any¬one else who delivers a musical mes¬sage of dissent so directly or so elo¬quently. He gave us "B-Movie” in1980, which bolstered my righteousanger for the last four years, and in1984 he gave us "Re-Ron” which Iexpect to be using for the four yearsyet to come. Certainly he’s not as ac¬robatic a rapper as the educatedones making black music news theseaays — “rap” might even be a mis¬nomer when applied to his tonepoems set to music (though I don’tbelieve it is) — but he is willing andable to give an education to any onewho can hear him. A great campan-ion piece to the Afrika Bambattashow coming to Chicago in Spring.Tonight and Sat Mar 8 and 9, CubbyBear, Clark and Addison. 327-1662.- FSJohnny Winter I doubt if there is anyperson, white or black, who lovesthe blues more than Johnny Winter.More than that, I doubt there is any¬one who can express their lovethrough more dedication to the formthan this Texas guitarist. He’s re¬sponsible for the realization of oneof Muddy Waters’ last great re¬cords, “Hard Again.” He's playedwith the best white guitarists likeClapton, and matched their energy,sweat drop for sweat drop. He’sgone and preached his message ofthe blues around the world, and con¬verted many who would never havelistened to a black man telling thesame story. Still, for all this, I havemy doubts. His voice, his writing, hisguitar playing, all reflect his love ofblues, but that doesn’t mean theyreflect a transformation of that loveinto something complex and person¬al. I mean, he may be just a greatformalist (in spirit, not technique),but I won’t pass judgement based onmy limited knowledge By allmeans, check him out, if only foryour own Icve of blues.

Fri Mar 14, CubbyBear, Clark and Addison. 327-1162.- FSDave Brubeck The jazz pianist is asmuch a classical theorist as he is astraight musician. His very suc¬cessful “Blue Rondo a la Turk” and“Take Five” were meant to be for¬mal experiments before they weremeant to be catchy, but their catchi¬ness is what earned them a place inthe living room record libraries of somany white, middle class profes¬sionals in the mid-50’s. It’s thetheorist in him, however, that hassustained most of the rest of hiswork. Brubeck's musical fire variesgreatly depending on who is accom¬panying him, but you can be surehe’ll stick in odd time signatures orclassical motifs in his music whatev¬er his mood is. He’s not an experi¬menter like Monk was or like Davisand Coleman are, but he is engaging— like a jazz version of some not toothreatening 20th century classicalcomposer. And that's not a putdown.Thurs Mar 21 at 8 pm, AuditoriumTheater. 922-2110. - FSAztec Camera For those of you in Chi¬cago over break (raise your hands,now), these next two shows shouldsupply a nice week’s worth of enter¬tainment. Rodney Frame, the 21year old Scot who is the singer,songwriter, arranger, you-name-itfor this group has so many literarypretensions you'd think he was a Uof C student. Still, these pretensionsare not only as direct as one couldhope, they’re also counter balancedby a pop-minded romaticism thatsmooths out many of the roughparts. "Oblivious,” off 1983’s debutwas a great pop song no matterwhat it was about, and last year hereworked Van Halen’s “Jump” inwhat is at first a very funny andlater a very endearing bolstering ofits pretty shyness and classic melo¬dy. (If you don't believe me, listen tothe words and not the voice in theoriginal). Tues Mar 26, Park West,322 W Armitage 929-5959 - FSRichard Thompson From Fairport Con¬vention in the sixties to his duoalbums with his wife in the seventiesto his solo albums in the last fewyears, Richard Thompson has re¬mained a songwriter of the firstorder. He is English (well, Welsh)through and through, and I thinkmaybe that helps. Like Peter Town-shend (solo) or Ronnie Lane or theyoung Rod Stewart. Thompsonfounds his work in British folk songs.This is evidenced in his vocals and in¬strumentation, but it is especiallyimportant in his often marvelouslyconstructed melodies; melodieswhich swing softly through majorkeys into minor ones, telling theirtale patiently yet also expectantly.Combined with his fine lyricalsense's sharp appreciation for de¬tail, this results in music that says alot through a minimal amount of con¬struction — like a good folk song orpoem. When it fails, which it doesfrom time to time, we aren't leftwith much, but when it suf-reeds we re given a passionate and ma¬ture lake on life that is enough tomake one an anglophile. His concertsare as good as his guitar playingand singing, which are both alwaysvery good. Thur Mar 28 at 8.

TownesAnd I remember people coming tomy mother's yard to be given cut¬tings from her flowers. I hear againthe praise showered on her becausewhatever rocky soil she landed on,she turned into a garden. A gardensc brilliant with colors, so original inits design, so magnificent with lifeand creativity that to this day peo¬ple drive by our house in Georgia —perfect strangers and imperfectstrangers — and ask to stand orwalk among my mother’s art.I notice that it is only when mymother is working in her flowersthat she is radiant, almost to thepoint of being invisible — except asCreator: hand and eye. She is in¬volved in work her soul must have.Ordering the universe in her person¬al conception of Beauty.Her face, as she prepares the Artthat is her gift, is a legacy of respectshe leaves to me, for all that illumi¬nates and cherishes life. She hashanded down respect for the possi¬bilities — and the will to graspthem.Alice Walker“In Search of OurMother’s Gardens’’I read this essay by Alice Walker often,because it speaks of the black woman asartist. It also echos the black woman whoseeks to minister, who seeks to be pro¬phetic not only within her churches, but tosociety as well. Often she is denied herright to be both black and a woman. Oftenshe is told to choose between her selves asif only half of her is enough to survive.But, as the artist who strives for the workher soul must have, so does the blackwoman in the church and theoiogical edu¬cation.The flowers I choose to spend a brieftime talking about are the tensions somany black women have with feminist the¬ology and black theology. For as theyhave evolved, both ask us (sometimes con¬sciously, more often subconsciously) tochoose between our blackness and our wo-maness.All those theologies of liberation aretheological reflections on the assignationof place. They attempt, from a particularcontext, to critique society as well as thechurch and traditional theology. This cri¬tique is designed to be a more faithful wit¬ness to the Kingdom of God.Feminist theology attempts to articulatethis faithful witness through a call for there-imaging of the roles of men and womenin the church as well as in secular society.Black theology speaks of the ravages ofracism wrought on black people and callsfor a just society free from racial oppres¬sion. Neither witness accepts the place weeither allow ourselves to assume due tosocial mores and strictures or to which wemay be assigned by those same forces.Each begins with a particular sin — sexismor racism — and attempts to express theuniversal dimension of oppression thatthat particular expresses — ideally.However, as a Dlack womanist, I findmuch of feminist and black theology lack¬ing when placed within the particular con¬text of the black woman. In the words ofthe poet Langston Hughes:Seems like what drives me crazyDon't have no effect on you. But I’m gonna keep on at itUntil it drives you crazy too.Feminism which is authentic is more thata vague concept of civil rights within acapitalist and misogynist system; it ismore than a further extension of tokenismto include more women in existing socialstructures. Feminism which is authenticseeks to transform radically the socialstructures and human relationships withinthat structure. The agenda of authentic fe¬minism includes relationships betweenmen and women, rich and disadvantaged,white and peoples of color, old and young,abled and disabled, student and profes¬sor, clergy and laity.Authentic black liberation does not con¬fine itself to the concerns of black men intheir drive to be included in the system. It,like feminism, seeks to transform thestructures of society, rather than gainentry into these structures. The agenda ofauthentic black liberation is the same asfeminism: men and women, rich and disad¬vantaged, white and peoples of color, etcetera.The key in each is that in beginning itsreflection at a particular form of oppres¬sion, it moves to a synthesis of praxis inwhich all forms of oppression are linked tothe initial entry point. This analysis doesnot accept inclusion as a goal, rather, itseeks to transform the present into thenew future. At this point, i would like tofocus on feminism for the rest of my discus-son. In large measure, the critique 1 willpresent in relation to feminist theology,will apply to black theology with appro¬priate revision.Much feminist scholarship has been writ¬ten and practiced as if black women didnot/do not exist. Adrienne Rich in her clas¬sic 1978 essay, "Disloyal to Civilizaton:Feminism, Racism, Gynephobia.” pointsout the problem thusly:Beneath all this, I believe, lies adeeper, more insidious problem: agreat deal of white feminist think¬ing and writing, where it has at¬tempted to address black women’sexperience, has done so laboringunder a massive burden of guilt feel¬ings and false consciousness, theproducts of deeply inculcated fe¬male self-blame, and of a history wehave insufficiently explored. (Thereis a profound difference between ac¬tual guilt — or accountability — andguilt feelings.) We have also been la¬boring under feelings of ignoranceof, and therefore inadequacytoward, the real lives of blackwomen. This ignorance is. of course,actual. It is bred by what passes foreducation, which takes white expe¬rience as normative, and it is bol¬stered by the very fear and anxietyit creates. It is time that we shedthese unuseful burdens and lookwith fresh eyes at the concept of fe¬male racism. For true accountabilityis a serious question for the feministethic — and indeed for any lastingand meaningful feminist action.Instead of “lasting and meaningful ac¬tion” we gave polarizaton.An authentic feminism is mindful of dif¬ferences as well as commonalities. Femin¬ism in general and feminist theology inparticular must address the full participa¬tion of black and other women of colorwithin the church and society. Feminist theology is inductive and basedon praxis This inductive approachstresses experience. Although feministtheology is based on praxis, it is selectivein whose experience is to be valid in arti¬culating a feminist agenda. As a conse¬quence, I term this methodological erroras incomplete praxis. The action may beauthentic, but the reflection is skewed be¬cause white women’s experience is seen asthe norm.An example of this flaw in feminnis.thought is Mary Daly. Although she nowconsiders herself a postchristian feminist,her landmark work, Gyn/ecology, has in¬fluenced a great deal of feminist theologi¬cal reflection. The following is an excerptof an open letter to Daly from tha blackwriter Audre Lorde:When I started reading Gyn/Eco-logy, / was truly excited by the vi¬sion behind your words, and noddedmy head as you spoke in your firstpassage of myth and mystification.Your words on the nature and func¬tion of the Goddess, as well as theways in which her face has been ob¬scured, agreed with what I myselfhave discovered in my searchesthrough African myth/iegend/reli-gion for the true nature of old fe¬male power.So I wondered, why doesn't Marydeal with Afrekete as an example?Why are her goddess-images onlywhite, western-european, judeo-christian? Where was Afrekete, Ye-manje, Oyo and Mawulisa? Whereare the warrior-goddesses of theVodun, the Dohomeian Amazons andthe warrior-women of Dan? Well, lthought, Mary has made a consciousdecision to narrow her scope and todeal only with the ecology of west¬ern-european women.Then I came to the first threechapters of your second passage,and it was obvious that you weredealing with non-european women,but only as victims and preyers-upon each other. I began to feel myhistory and my mythic backgrounddistorted by the absence of anyimages of my foremothers in power.Your inclusion of african genital mu¬tilation was an important and neces-say piece in any consideration of fe¬male ecology, and too little has beenwritten about it. But to imply, how¬ever, that all women suffer the sameoppression simply because we arewomen, is to lose sight of the manyvaried tools of patriarchy. It is to ig¬nore how those tools are used bywomen without awareness againsteach other.To dismiss our black foremothersmay well be to dismiss where euro-pean women learned to love. As anafrican-american woman in whitepatriarchy, I arn used to having myarchetypal experience distortedand trivialized but it is terriblypainful to feel it being done by awoman whose knowledge so muchmatches my own. As women-identi-fied women, we cannot afford to re¬peat tnese same old destructive,wasteful errors of recognition.When I speak of knowledge, asyou know, I am speaking of thatdark and true depth which under¬standing serves, watts upon, andmakes accessible through language to ourselves and others. It is thisdepth within each of us that nurturesvision.What you excluded from Gyn/Eco¬logy dismissed my heritage and theheritage of all other non-europeanwomen, and denied the real connec¬tions that exist between all of us.Too much of feminist theological reflec¬tion does not include the internal struggleof feminists on race, class bias, age dif¬ferently labeled, homophobia. Feministtheology moves toward a perscriptivestance without adequately acknowledg¬ing, critiquing, and eradicating the chau¬vinism within itself.Black and w *e feminists (although in¬creasingly. black women are choosing theterm "womanist”) often talk across oneanother Black women must deal simultan¬eously with race, sex, and class at bareminimum in order to be integrous in theiranalysis of the black church and black soci¬ety. Black women choose solidarity withblack men on the issue of racism. We alsochoose to struggle with black men abouttheir sexism as well. We have learned alltoo well that the uplifting of one segmentof the black community does not immedi¬ately insure the uplifting of the whole.The black church has its own peculiarform of patriarchal oppression. It reflectsthe same patriarchy of society at largebut it is also embued wth the dynamics ofthe racism of that larger society. Hence,black women must not only deal with thenegative effects of racism, but bfack men’sown virulent form of sexism as well.Black women are faced with oeingtermed matriarchs, Sapphires, and cas-traters. This is in large measure due to theactive roie many black women have had toplay in the support of children, husbands,and black society which have always as¬sumed their capabilities. This differs con¬siderably from where the majority ofwhite feminists begin. White culture byand large does not assume that whitewomen are capable. Hence, black womenwho have the legacy of clearing the fields,caring for the children of others as welt astheir own are considered a deviation fromthe white norm, therefore an anomaly inNorth American society in general. Themajority of the black male community hascome to believe that the ideal in NorthAmerican society is that they are to be theproviders for their families and theirwomen. The few leadership roles allowedto black men by the dominant racist cul¬ture are guarded jealously with little re¬gard to the psychological and theologicaldamage done to the black community as awhole and the church in particular.Herein lies the peculiarity of the blackwoman in the church and theoiogical edu¬cation. She is placed in her position notonly by sexist standards, but by racism aswell. For the black woman, an analysis ofher situation which is based primarily onsexual oppression is inadequate. In short,black women perceive their struggle in adifferent manner. It is a different strugglefor it is one born of the experience of aslavery past in which black women havebeen the ultimate victims — economically,physically, emotionally, politically, andtheologically. We, as women — black andwhite — in this country have not sufferedthe same.When issues between black women andwhite women are the same, often the in¬terpretation and approach are different.Consider day care centers and child carefacilities that many white feminists arepressuring corporations to provide inorder to maximize their vocational oppor¬tunities. The current economic and socialstructure will insure that the wage scale,continued on page 15WILLTHEYSTILL PLAY FOOTBALL?by Orlando WestPerhaps it would have been better towrite something appropriately interna¬tional for International Women’s Day, butI was afraid that anything I might come upwith in that regard would not only be un¬worthy of print but unworthy of late-nightbabbling over a bottle of beer at Jimmy’s.And perhaps it would have been better topick a concrete example of the phenome¬non I wish to criticize, a magazine which Ican hold in hand and pursue at my leisure,as Wayne Scott did in his critique of theGentleman's Quarterly, but egocentrical-|y, | decided to use this as an opportunityto describe something merely overheardamong students here on campus, and to ru¬minate a bit on its origin and direction.This something is best summed up by thequotation I stole for my title: it is a youngman’s apprehension that after the femin¬ist "revolution” men and women will beunrecognizably changed from their formerselves. It is the fear of "androgyny.”These days it is unfashionable amongright-wingers, ieft-winy ers, ani in-be- tweeners to be against androgyny, just asit was fashionable a dozen years ago to befor it. This negative opinion expresses it¬self in the “I don’t want women to be likemen” of an anti-feminist criticizing the up¬pity women vying men’s jobs or the samesentiment expressed by a radical feministdenouncing her sisters (also vying formen's jobs) for adopting the immoral malevalues of the larger culture and ignoringgood, clean feminine ones. Another side tonot wanting women to be like men, is theunhappiness of boys and young men at thethought that feminism demands that theytransform themselves into effeminatecreatures barred from the pleasures theyhold so dear, no longer will these people“worship the porcelain god” after a nightof too many six-packs, or be squished bylarger men on a muddy field, or have theopportunity for glory after wrappingtheir car around a telephone pole at threein the morning.What all positions on androgyny, "for”or against ' have in common is that they suppose the term refers to something thatexists. For “androgyny," or the combiningtogether of masculine and feminine char¬acter into one whole, to have any mean¬ing, there must be such things as masculineand feminine natures. The discussions ofthese natures in the nineteenth andtwenthieth centuries, describe them asclusters of opposite character traits: ac¬tive vs passive, rational vs irrational, in¬telligible vs obscure, analytic vs synthetic,strong vs weak, cruel vs kind, thinking vsfeeling, ad infinitum. Once accepting thereality of these disjoint sets, one can, asthe conservatives do, assert that the ma¬sculine cluster should reign supreme, orone can join the radical feminist in placingthe feminine set in front, or one can be aproponent of androgyny and preach thathuman beings should merge these twosides of their nature to create an integrat¬ed whole. But before we ask which partyto join, we should ask why we accept thisidea of masculine and feminine natures atall. On what grounds do we postulate theirexistences other than the perceived dif¬ ferences between actual men and women,differences which could be the mispercep¬tions of eyes jaundiced by ideology, or ifextant, attributable to the different livesthat men and women must lead in our soci¬ety?But it was not so much my purpose toargue whether these natures exist as toquestion the motives of some who do. Theyoung man of the title is not concernedwhether the superiority of the masculineset of traits leads to miliatrism and thearms race, and that a world run by womenwould be full of peace and love as isclaimed by some of my friends; he isn'tthat theoretical. He is concerned about awotld full of unpainted and unshavenwomen and wimpy men—a world withoutthe extreme sexual dimorphism foisted onus now—a world where his fetishes will lieunfulfilled, and he will grow to resemblethe object of his affections. And it is mere¬ly this unwillingness to part with a partic¬ular brand of heterosexuality that I hearbehind his question, a particular brandwhere girls are girls and men are men.WILL THEY STILL DRINK BEER?GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1985—5WIMYN AND CHILDRENby Wayne ScottMen. I still don’t like the word verymuch. Whenever I hear it, I remember mymother and her girlfriends, complainingabout their ex-husbands: how they hadchanged into such awful, irresponsiblebastards. Men. They said it with a smugrepulsion; the word, the tone seemed tocapture a universally feminine feelingthat needed no further explanation. I un¬derstood it too, and I felt that, somehow,my understanding granted me an insidetrack to the struggle to survive againstthe men who had abandonea their wivesand children and didn’t leave them anymoney. So here we were, living in a com¬munity of transients — just separatedmother and their kids — while our houseswere being sold and our families werebeing settled out of court. We were allstruggling together against them.I felt pretty safe here, and only a littleedgy whon I noticed my penis every oncein a while and recalled that my father hadhad one too (I had seen it once). But therewas hope for me: he arpeared on televi¬sion every morning: the only man thatmom or any of her friends seemed to ap¬preciate, Phil Donahue. Here was a man(now said with a sort of robust zeal) wholiked women in the right way: he touchedthem when he asked them how they feltabout their lives; he knew what theirissues were and he sympathized. He visit¬ed our apartment much more often thanDad — and we all liked Phil. He was ourideal man, floating around in the luminousblue of a broken television set.My two brothers and I, in silent agree¬ ment, decided we had to mold our livesafter Phil. Yet, in practice, it wasn’t easy.Sometime after we stopped undressing infront of each other and walking aroundthe apartment without any clothes on, wediscovered a stash of Penthouse maga¬zines, dog-eared and smudged with sticki¬ness. In them, we also discovered a worldof men whose rock hard manrods shotthrough the ceiling and of panting, wetwomen dying to gobble them up. Here wasour first real secret from our mother,tucked between the mattresses of ourbunkbeds. But somehow this secret meantthat my inside track was slipping away. Iknew that Phil would disapprove, and thispained me.I had to compensate. I flunked driver’sed, so Mom continued on as chauffeur; I re¬fused to date, saying that I was content tostay home with the family; couldn’t bal¬ance a checkbook, refused to play base¬ball or watch football, and always de¬clined the standing invitation toarm-wrestle Dad.It’s sad. The problem developed into anervous reluctance to have anything to dowith most men — unless they had the po¬tential to be a pansy (Mom kinda had thattoo); a feeling that kept me from the sim¬plest forms of necessary male interaction— like gym class — and hindered any realfriendships. I knew this was a dangerousfear, my straight-man-o-phobia, but Icouldn’t get over the lump of sour feelingthat started somewhere in my gut androlled up into my throat. Anxiety, like alive squid, nestled in my stomach when ourgym class practiced wrestling and every¬one wanted to challenge me. Aphonia overcame me when the six foot-eightcoach commanded me to take my showeror fail his course. “You’re all the same,”he said in a frustrated whine.Of course, we weren’t all the same. Thecoach was another one of them — thosemen who had trained themselves to ignorethe midsection of a guy’s anatomy. Geez,if he would have at least read Penthouse, Ithought in silent frustration, he’d knowthat men range from 12 to 21 inches (Themen in Penthouse rarely relate their ad¬ventures without first giving this informa¬tion). The discrepancy between them andme caused me excruciating self-consciousanxiety, and it was breaking up mybrother and me. Our bluffing games over“How big are you?” had bristled intosome nasty arguments. I didn’t have hissupport anymore, and the school principalwas forcing my mother to force me to letmy coach force me into the showers afterwrestling.I gave in, No, I never took a shower inschool, but I did have a painful confession¬al in Mom’s room, dumping all those pagesof rumpled, sticky nudity and fucking ontoher virginal double bed. She made a rulethat we could look at the magazines anytime we wanted — as long as we asked herfirst. She slipped them under her mat¬tress. I wondered if she was planning tojerk off.Still, I realized that I was losing it. Onmy 18th birthday, Dad told me that I was“almost a man.” That “almost” was theonly thing keeping me from the unpleas¬ant contemplation of what I was going todo once I made it. I envisioned myselfbanned from the apartment, nearer to thefather who had been ostracized — aloneand responsible for myself. And then mar¬ried: trying to support my wife and kidsand be close to them, while my wife spent her days with them, becoming endeared totheir hearts. We’d get divorced and I’dturn out to be a shit too. I knew I wouldn’tgive up half my income to brats who insist¬ed I take them to McDonald’s once a weekand didn’t tell me anything about them¬selves — except that they needed money.Exactly what, I began to wonder, was PhilDonahue doing about all of this, exceptmarching around his audience saying“That’s too bad, ladies”. My zeal to belike Phil became as fuzzy as his TV image(the set was still broken). I realized Philwas inadequate to do any more thantalk.Mom still likes him though. She watcheshim when she can. She still hates real men,the kind she meets every day. “They’resuch jerks,” she tells me. Most of themhave already been divorced or separated,and they usually want to get marriedagain. Not Mom. I’m sure she’ll stick it out.She has her sons, and we’re more nearlylike Phil Donahue than any man she’s like¬ly to run into. What more could shewant?It’s different for me though, because Iam a man. It really did happen and Icouldn’t help it (though I did try, believeme). I’m outside the struggle too, just like Iknew I would be. I’m home now, and she’ssitting around the coffeetable with Evaand Pat. They’re talking as they alwayshave, but something is different. I’m nolonger the child playing with tinker toysnearby, safe from the traffic and strang¬ers. I listen quietly until she asks “Honey,-why don’t you go out and watch someTV?” My brothers are watching football. Ilook at Eva and Pat, who both smile likethey're my mothers. I’m as tall as they arenow, and I seem even taller when I standup, catching only the beginning of theirgirlish whispering, as I leave.A SEPARATE VOICEby Gideon D’ArcangeloThe separatist becomes extreme whenshe induces the fact that “Men have notchanged”, in regard to their unrelentingdominance, that “Men will not or cannotchange’’. The women who have taken thisstep have surrendered all hope of recon¬ciling the conflict between the sexes. Themost outspoken of these women speak ofthe elimination of men from the planet,form groups like SCUM (the Society forCutting Up Men), and reveal their fanta¬sies of a utopian world without men. Theobvious question that arises in response tothese actions is “How are we going to re¬produce0” Certainly, women and men can’tabandon each other altogether! From thesimplest biological standpoint, it is clearthat these two kinds of creatures are de¬pendent on each other for their contin¬uance (which is, on the superpersonallevel, the same as survival), so the propos¬al of their complete separation is absurd.It would be foolish to assume that thesewomen aren't aware of the unreaspnableextremity of their belief. The pertinentquestion does not concern the soundness oftheir argument, it concerns ihe state of a,-fairs that could ^ne^ate such an obvious¬ly unsound argument, it is best to believethat ihese women are consciously choosingto take such a rad’cal stance to mak*- theirpoint, as opposed to condescendingly giv¬ing a meaning’ to their actions. This, thenis merely a translation of their cry into an¬other language, so that more people canunderstand their message. Judge it as youwill.Such a frighteningly extreme and suici¬ dal stance does not emerge out of no¬where. It is important in understanding itssource that anything apparently unrea¬sonable in their position should not beseen as a weakness, it is precisely this un¬abashed rejection of rationality that is theexpression of their belief. As in any ex¬treme posiion, the message is simple:something is wrong, and it will not be to¬lerated in any degree any longer. Whathas led these women to this state of uncon¬ditional mistrust? What has brought themto the hopeless belief that men cannotchange?These women are angry. They havebeen betrayed so often (whether by them¬selves or by men is a complicated ques¬tion, which need not be resolved here),that they have no more room for trust.Worse then the conventional dominance ofmost men is when these same characteris¬tics show up in men with whom they’dthought themselves free of the standardroles. Too many times had they involvedthemselves with men in a way that wascompatible with their belief, only to find,when the mask was pulled away, thatthey are in the very positions that theyhad so violently tried to avoid. Too manytimes had they been tempted into submis¬sion; each time it was offered as a way outof slavery; each time all they ended upwith was the same damn shit dressed up inprogressive garb. Let this cycle run toomany times and eventually something hasto give. The extreme separatists maketheir point most clearly. They say, “We’renot going to get screwed again.”I think there is a way of responding pro¬gressively to the ultimate, unforgiving, this-is-the-last-straw stance of the sepa¬ratists, but growth after such an apoca¬lyptic judgement can only be phoenix-like.Their cry clearly calls for a total reevalua¬tion of the roles of men and women. Men,as those who happen to be wearing thepants these days, must listen to whatthese women are saying. As I passedthrough puberty, I was able to mingle in acircle of these extreme separatists. Evenas the brother of my sister, I was barelyallowed into their confidence. Althoughmy own sexuality was so scarcely defined,I could tell that there was something aboutme that made them hate me. At best, I was"a good one”, considering I was “one.”Naurally, I thought a lot about why thesewomen were hating me, and, admittedly,it was confusing at first to my fourteenyear old mind. Yet, once it was workedthrough, I felt that I had gained a lot ofinsight into the problems between menand women. They made it impossible forme to ever accept the conventional role-structure, no matter how deeply it seemedto be ingrained into my instinct. Instinctisn’t necessarily innate, and it took a mes¬sage as severe as theirs to jar me enoughthat I could question and alter my own. Noaction can be sloughed o.'? to human na¬ture. If men and women behave in a partic¬ular way, they cannot avoid responsibilityby pointing to their instinct. These womenhave scared up enough willpower in me sothat I have been able, at times, to counterinstincts that are contrary to my beliefs.As I developed, the anger of these womenmade it seem imperative that I break outof these patterns. I could never relaxamidst locker room talk; I knew somethingwas seriously wrong with the currentstate of women and men. Their message was undeniable, unforgettable. Theycalled for a change.Men have to want this change as much aswomen. I think it is fair to use the master-slave metaphor in describing domi¬nant/submissive tendencies in men andwomen. Now, it’s true that the master is asdependent on the slave as the slave is onthe master. It’s true that both roles areequally unhealthy, but, when it comesdown to it the master gets a much betterlife out of the deal. He gets to sleep in thebig house, eat the good food. The domi¬nant are the comfortable ones, becausethey are not threatened. Therefore, therole of men in changing the conventions ofsexual relations is quite different thanthat of women. If men really want thestate of things to change, they have to letdown their defenses and willfully give uptheir position of power. Moreover, thiswill not be an especially noble gesture,only humane. Allowing vulnerability isrequisite for any resolution between thedominant and submissive. Men, as theyare in the position of power, have thechance to throw down their arms and callthe bluff on their fears. If the dominanthold out until they are overthrown, thennothing will have changed. Men can laughat their power. These are now merely ab¬stract things that men must do. It beginson the most personal level; when youspeak with men, with women, and whenyou think to yourself. Listen to what thesewomen, these extreme separatists aresaying. Something is undeniably wrong.And though you might find the dominantworld more comfortable, when you “lookdown at the submissive, there is anotherworld—different from either of these—where everyone struggles together.6—FRIDAY.

Ms. Canaan is currentlyin the Anthropology department here.by Joyce Canaan“School is hell and hell is school,” observed oneof my American male middle school informants.School, the central public arena where middleschool “kids” (as they call themselves) displaythemselves among peers, is more hellish than adultlife not, as he claims, economically or intellectuallybut, “physically and you know, socially.” Here “alleyes are on all eyes.” As his comments suggest, thecareful and intense scrutiny by these eyes and ofthese eyes provides, as best, a double-edgedsword with which kids impose strict principles ofsurveillance to physically ar.d socially constructthemselves as individuals and group members andplace other kids relative to themselves. Thus, pain¬ful and intense as this process of internalizingtyranical principles of observation may be, it en¬ables kids to construct on and with their bodies asystematized social world into which all fit.My data on American middle class suburban mid¬dle school kids suggest, as I shall argue below, thatnot only is the body a site where unconscious princi¬ples of social order develop, but, in addition, theseunbodied unconscious principles in part compromisea discourse substantiating and representinggender differences.Moreover, this discourse is based on “the insis¬tent, persistent, meticulous work of power” in andthrough kids’ bodies (Foucault 1980:56). This dis¬course allows kids to explore with their dramat¬ically changing and charged bodies gender-specificrepresentations of powerful differences and dif¬ferences of power within and between gender- dis¬tinct peer groups. In American culture where biolo¬gy is an ideology motivating and underlying humanbehavior (Sahlins 1976), and where, concomitantly,pubertal changes led to the creation of middleschool as an isolated and isolating institution todeal with these changes and their purportedly psy¬chological ramifications (Kett 1977), middle schoolkids further elaborate gender differences on andthrough their transforming bodies. -The ideal (1) eighth grade male has two main fea¬tures, “muscularity” and “toughness.” Muscularitymeans building muscles through weight-lifting.While boys begin lifting weights primarily to im¬prove their athletic performance, they also note itcontributes to a more imposing and controlling ap¬pearance. One boy, Jeff Danner, states he recentlysaw a boy at the town swimming pool who had beenlifting weights:I'm not saying he looked threatening, but helooked fit and he looked handsome. I'm not ahomosexual. I'm saying he looked, you know,he looked really good and that was, I'm notsure why, but he looked, I guess, in con¬trol... He looked fit and he, you know, lookedhealthy and...in control, mostly of his ownbody parts. I guess. (2)While all eyes may be on all eyes, boys feel am¬bivalent about gazing at other boys' bodies. Theyfear their finding the bodies of other boys attrac¬tive suggests they may be gay. On the other hand,they watch others work on their bodies to gaugewhat working on their own bodies will do for themand how others will react to them having a wellbuilt body. Moreover, at this time of dramatic pu¬bertal changes boys focus on acquiring control overtheir bodies and give little emphasis to these radi¬cal bodily transformations. Furthermore, whileboys do weightlifting for specific muscles in partic¬ular parts of their bodies, their efforts ultimatelysynthesize rather than fragment their physicalbodies because they contribute to athletic perfor¬mance and general control over their whole physi¬cal selves.Boys appropriate the somatic discourse — that is,the discourse of working on and controlling theirphysical bodies — metaphorically to indicate theirability to construct an imposing social persona. Thismetaphorical usage of the somatic discourse is pre¬cisely what boys mean by “toughness.” However,in so appropriating this somatic discourse to ex¬press control over their own and others’ socialselves, boys segment their social rather than physi¬cal selves. That is, a tough boy aims to hide hisweaknesses underneath and apart from thestrengths he exhibits. He:Wouldh't let things affect him. Like hewould, in terms of pain he wouldn’t, he'dwithstand pain pretty well. Like a cut orsomething, he would kind of look at it and,you know, not think much of it. And even if hefeels pain inside he would, you know, with¬hold it and he wouldn't let it out...and hewould exhibit his strength, often.Boys represent their social selves in and throughphysical terms dichotomizing hidden vulnerabili¬ties and demonstrated powers, and masking theformer with the latter.The last sentence of this stater ter.t, that boysoften times display their migh’, s> ggests boys at¬tempt to affirm the somaticcif/ based controllingpart of themselves covering vulnerabilities by en¬acting this assertive self in as many contexts aspossible. Indeed, the term “massive stud,” the slang lexical itemvfor a male with “overall great¬ness,” represents such an assertive male self. Thislexical item, comprised by conjoining two synony¬mous superlatives for\a male whose athletic skillsenable him generally tckcontrol himself and others,creates a heightened innape of a powerful malewho has attained and m\st maintain his prowess(Canaan 1983). Such a physically muscular and so¬cially tough boy must esp^ially demonstrate hiscapacities in three fields: spo>ts, relations with lessmuscular and tough boys, and oinking.Sports provide the most inoportant arena ofpower and are the basis for assessing boys’ powerin other arenas. Boys express athretic capacities inconversations with peers. The playing field is aphysically demarcated field on whic^boys, organ¬ized by adult coaches and umpires, Compete withteammates against other teams. Performance onthis literal playing field requires that one first dopreparatory work on one’s body and then bringone’s worked-on body together with those ofothers. One’s skills are assessed in terms of virtu¬osity, capacity to work well with teammatesy andability to incorporate coaches’ guidance prior toand during competitive games between teams aridumpires’ judgements ordering these games. Conse¬quently, boys exhibit and evaluate their athleticskills relative to teammates when performing withteammates in an arena organized and delimited byadults. These adults teach them to subsume com¬parisons with each other under their joint team per¬formance.Boys represent athletic skills in later verbal per¬formances among peers as well. These require thatone euphemize one’s feats. While boys know howthey perform relative to peers precisely becausethey display athletic abilities in the supposedly ob¬jective playing field, their discourse for discussingsuch abilities purposefully covers individual dif¬ferences. Although all teammates contribute to thejoint team effort, boys know not only that thoseplaying more critical positions are more equal thanothers but, in addition, those boys not on the teamwho- do not display physical prowess in the mostbasic arena of sports lack vital personality charac¬teristics.While sports provides an arena where physicallymuscular and socially tough boys demonstratephysical muscularity, their performance in otherarenas melds physical with social might. This isespecially so in their relations with other boys inschool. Athletes who oftentimes are friends off theplaying field seek to demonstrate their physicaland social superiority by making other boys comp¬ly with their demands. As Jeff states, “You don’thave control over each other, you have control overthe kids in the other groups, the little wimpies.” Byexerting control over wimps or physically and so¬cially ineffectual boys — that is, those at the ob¬verse end of the social scale to athletes — athletesdemonstrate to wimps, their peers, and girls theircritical capacity to “dominate.” One common wayto do so occurs in the most public school contact con¬text of lunch, where higher athletic group boysmake lower group boys give them money for des¬serts. By successfully obtaining money from wimps,athletes actively demonstrate their power to makeother boys do as they command. Money has suchpower because it is:one of the more valuable things. ..(I)t's an ex¬change medium, it can buy things. And notonly cookies, but we only see it as cookiesand ice cream, but it’s still, money is...one ofthe most powerful elements in theschool..(M)oney is one of the most valuedthings in society...and that’s how it’s gottenfrom society to school.Athletes display their social power, and, concomi¬tantly, their position at the top of the school socialsystem by obtaining what they most desire frompeople they least respect.Another way boys display social might is bydrinking large quantities of alcoholic beverageswithout getting drunk. Doing so indicates one is so¬cially tough “because it affects your body and ifyou can have control over something that affectsyou then you, then you're tough.” Since this soma¬tic discourse primarily emphasizes control overone’s physical and social body, and those of others,drinking without losing control provides a criticalpractice enabling boys to express this theme cen¬tral to their gender-specific self constructions.Because boys primarily seek control over theirphysical and social bodies by interacting with otherboys, they only secondarily appropriate this dual/somatic discourse in relations with girls. As Jetstates, “Our group isn’t really too involved in girlsright now, so it’s not really, it’s not discussed/asmuch as weightlifting.” When boys get involvedwith girls they represent their involvement topeers much as they do their relations with mile su¬bordinates — as manipulations to exdart theirmight and satisfy their desires. Because /girls areonly secondarily important to boys, bo/s do notview their bodies or selves as sexually desirableobjects to girls but as physically and /Socially con¬structed subjects imposing embodied power onother males. Despite their claims th/t all eyes areon all eyes, boys primarily gaze a/ other boys tobuild their gender-specific self coryiept. While boys’monocular gender-specific gaze ypsets them some¬what because they wonder if \y indicates a homo¬sexual inclination, it enables \t/em to develop a so¬matic discourse with whiqrt they realize and concomitantly place\ themselves relative to allother boys.In contrast with boats’ achieved transformationswith and through a somatic discourse of physicalmuscularity and social toughness demonstrated inactions on and control V>ver oneself and others,eighth grade middle school girls’ selves are con¬structed with a somatic\ discourse emphasizingways their bodies are controlled by natural forcesinside them and boys powerful social opinionsbeyond them. This discourse\is comprised of threenaturally ascribed qualities, \looks, body, person¬ality.” As one girl admittedly endowed with allthree components stated, “I didn’t try to be thatway; that was just how I was\born.” Within thistrinity of so-called naturally given components,body provides the constituting Somatic discoursefor girls’ construction of themselves which they per¬form on a stage of public scrutiny to which boys arethe audience and, hence, evaluators. Perhaps be¬cause sports do not provide a critical arena forgirls’ self constructs so that girls lacx an objective¬ly delimited domain in which to realize themselvesas individuals and group members under adult su¬pervision, they both compete directly', with peersand rely on internal and external fordes outsidetheir control to define them. The case of\Renee Mi¬chaels, an eighth grade girl, demonstrates howgirls’ somatic discourse functions. \ main reasons: her oveis inappropriate — a poand she has not yet “gcDespite her twofold pboys comment on both <which masks Renee’sboys.

I mean, well, part of the reason is none ofhe boys like her...because of her, like, she being so/immature and stuff like that...and also, also be¬cause, you know she's got a pretty face and every¬thing, but as it comes to chest-wise, she’s a little onthe flat side, so (the boys) they're calling her flat¬chested and they tell her she has no, and she hasn'tstarted to fill out or anything yet...And so, she’s no¬ticed that we’ve all filled out except her...Shehasn't got a curve on her, really...And, you know, Idon't mean to say it about my best friend, but shedoesn’t (laugh). And, so, you know, the boys arealways telling her she's flat-chested and she has nobody.Although a girl like Renee may be pretty, looksare less important than body shape for a girl atthis time. Moreover, boys’ comments on girls' lack¬ing ample bodily endowments makes girls comparethemselves and compete with close female friends.That is, girls seek to understand how they measureup to those they “like” and see themselves asbeing “like” (Varenne 1977). Furthermore, sinceRenee’s low self-esteem is due to boys not likingher, boys ultimately decide how girls evaluatethemselves.

In addition, however, boys affirm the thirdcomponent of girls’ gender-specific selves, person¬ality in and through the somantic discourse.Middle school girls want their personalities toconform to a stereotypic ideal of who they ought tobe rather than express who they actually are un¬derneath this ideal. As one girl perceptively noted,“I don’t think that everyone is trying to project animage of who they are. They just want to, theywant to show everybody so that everybody thinksthey are like everybody else.” They seek, that is,to construct identical identities on the surface ofthe self which cover their inner differentiatedselves (Canaan 1984b). The mechanically solidarypersonality eighth grade girls seek to present tothe gaze of all others is most fully embodied bygirls in the top social group who:do the same thing, wear the same things, andact the same way. And the way they act, andthe stuff they wear is different from, say,um, the average person...(T)hey all have toput on a lot of make up, and wear tightclothes, that might, um, make them seemmore sexy...more grown upGirls construct their personalities to attract boys.Consequently, those girls boys most attend to arethought to have the best personalities. However,boys only acknowledge girls socially presentingthem with a packaged self containing at leastproper — that is, sexy — appearance and actions.They dress provocatively and act provocatively, orflirt.Knowing how to flirt is critical to boys’ assess¬ment of girl's personalities. Consider, once again.Gretel's earlier comment that Renee acted inappro¬priately toward boys. Gretel elaborates this com¬ment, claiming Renee’s inability to flirt makes boysdislike her and express this dislike in and througha fragmentary somatic discourse:(Y)ou know how girls like, usually flirt andguys just love it when girls flirt with them?Renee won't flirt...She refuses. You know,she constantly calls me a flirt but she's deadjealous because I can flirt and she can't. And,when she goes up to a boy, she starts talkingto him, she'll usually hit him or some¬thing...And so. you know, the boys arealways telling her she’s flat-chested and shehas no body...(0)ther girls who are flat-chest¬ed are really popular so they don't have toworry about it because they've got their pop¬ularity. And also, they know how to flirt, andthat sort of thing.Boys express disapproval with Renee's inability toflirt by focusing on her physical failings so that sheviews herself primarily with fragmented and dis¬satisfactory body parts. Girls verbally adept atflirting with similar physical liabilities do not havetheir bodies so commented on. Because they covercritical physical failings with social graces, the selfthey present to boys is approved of but, simultan¬eously, only partial.While girls construct fragmented selves empha¬sizing either physical or social components for boysto comment on, their positioning of boys as com¬mentators places their own efforts at self construc¬tion in a secondary role. Moreover, because thisself construction works on or around specific bodyparts, it is partial.This analysis suggests, then, that eighth grademiddle school boys and girls gender-specific selvesare radically different. Boys emphasize workingon and controlling their physically developingbodies and socially constituted personalities. Be¬cause the physically muscular and socially toughselves they create are grounded and most fullyrealized in and through the clearly demarcated do¬main of sports, and secondarily affirmed by de¬monstrating physical and social superiority overboys in other school contexts, their selves pri¬ority emphasize intra-gender characteristics. Assuggested above, boys primarily eye other boysand yeat girls similarly to the way they treat infe¬rior opys — as objects over whom they demon¬strate \hem physical and social might. Because boys primarily focus on relations with other boysand consider girls only occasionally as objects forsexual satisfaction, their gender-speicific selvesare not sexualized. They do not yet see themselvesas objects of desire for the other but do sometimesconstitute girls as objects of desire for them. Noti¬ceably absent from these constructions, in contrastto girls, is the component of looks. Boys considerbody the basis of attractiveness and, concomitant¬ly, the appeal of boys labelled massive studs —those most attractive to girls and other boys —rests on physical and social might rather thanlooks.Girls’ gender-specific selves, in contrast, stresspractices and personages dominating them. Theirlooks, bodies and personalities are immediatelyexpressed in and through a fragmentary somatic.discourse naturally based but ultimately deter¬mined by boys. Girls’ efforts to work on and trans->rm these components function not in gender-spe-ciiic terms as ‘o those of boys but heterosexually.Th\t is, girls represent themselves to boys as at¬tractive and desirable objects while boys repre-sent'themselves primarily to other boys and secon¬darily/to girls as active and dominating subjects.Placing boys as their final evaluators makes boyssuperor«finate to them. Thus, for girls as well asboys, alf eyes are not simply on all eyes; rather,girls scrutinize themselves through boys’ gazes. Asearly as eighth grade, John Berger’s observationthat “Women watch themselves being looked at.”(1977:47) ocaurs as a culturally constituted prac¬tice. While, as Berget notes, a male’s presencepromises at least physical and social power (ibid1977:45), a female’s presence is represented asbeing controlled and determined by natural forcesinside themselves and socially more mighty boysbeyond themselves. Their vision is monocular aswell, but the eyes belong to boys.NotesI would like to thank Yvonne Seng Bishop andJudy Farquhar for their comments.1) I use the term “ideal” to denote the kind of selfboys wish to have. This self is most closely approx¬imated by boys in the highest clique or group. Boysin other groups to a greater or lesser extent acceptthis kind of self as that most desirable and worktoward achieving its characteristics. They are de¬fined by boys in higher social groups in terms oftheir lacking these desired characteristics. Whilethey may constitute these other boys as one-sided,in public social contexts they are made fully awareof these other boys’ system of physically basedmight which the latter force on the former.2) This quotation and those that follow are ver¬batim transcripts from tape recorded interviews.Consequently, while they are grammatically incor¬rect, they accurately present informants state¬ments.References Cited1) Berger, John Ways of Seeing New York: PenquinBooks 19772) Bourdieu.

According tothe report, the justice left a room in hishome shortly before a 9-mm slug was shotthrough the window. His wife was show¬ered with glass. The justice has receivednumerous death threats in the past fromanti-abortionist groups opposed to the1973 Supreme Court ruling. It is not diffi¬cult to link such a group with this most re¬cent attempt on Blackmun’s life since itwas preceded by a letter to his home stat¬ing the sender would “blow (the justice’s)brains out’’, whereupon he would attendthe funeral and “laugh."The “Army of God" (which is not neces¬sarily implicated in this incident) and simi¬lar anti-abortion terrorist groups act as amilitary presence that employ guerrillatactics to repress and punish opinions theydo not agree with. And as such they threa¬ten not only Justice Blackmun but allAmericans. They may act under the name“Pro-Life" but they cannot logically donthis title while threatening the lives ofother citizens. It is not unlikely that themembers of these terrorist groups are infact psychotic and not reahy concernedwith Roe v. Wade at all.

When I saw Ma¬donna's “Borderline” video I was perhapsamused, perhaps offended, but certainlynot impressed. The offense was mildenough so I dismissed the matter with lit¬tle or no consideration. Who would like heranyway, I asked myself. But Madonna's“Lucky Star" video was another story. Ifound my dislike for her transformed intosomething more virulent. Still, I could onlyreally get worked up about Madonnawhen I realized that, within a very shortperiod of time, she had become immenselypopular — and with people who shouldknow better. A lot of people like heavymetal groups too, but that doesn’t botherme; none of them are my friends.It seems that part of being a Madonnafan is mocking Madonna, liking her inspite of oneself and doing so in the nameof fun. Sorry gang, I won’t be implicated inthese guilty pleasures. If I could think ofMadonna as tasteless or tacky I might beable to join in on the fun, but beneath suchlighthearted name-calling, and insepara¬ble from it, lies a more serious condemna¬tion. The less funny name for Madonna'sversion of tackiness is sluttishness; thefirst label is simply an impotent form ofthe second, lacking its emotional force, butboth are anti-sex, puritanical, misogynist.Madonna’s sex-kitten image makes her atonce ridiculous and threatening.Her decision to build her career as wellas her image around feminine wiles was acalculated one. Madonna wants to bethought of as tough and* ambitious, asstopping at nothing; she gets what shewants through the sheer force of her per¬sonality and her sexuality. In an inter-Madonna, over the Borderline some of those who link themselves to itare terrorists, and/or in favor of the deathpenalty, and/or apathetic to social ills andgovernment policies that threaten thepeaceful existence of all people. To besure, there are many considerations in theabortion issue. Some people oppose abor¬tion out of religious dogma, and/or fearthat readily available abortions will beused for convenience or as a contracep¬tion, and/or the belief that the fetus is ahuman life with the rights of a citizen.Some people are in favor of the availabili¬ty of abortion to protect the victims ofrape and incest from further trauma. Theymay sympathize with the woman who is al¬ready raising a large family and simplychoice purely from the perspective ofstate control over reproduction showswimyn losing critical vestiges of control,thus being reduced to another means ofstate-run production.In bygone days wimyn had extremelyimportant duties to perform in child birth¬ing and rearing. Entire agricultural socie¬ties depended on an increasing populationto allow for expansion and protectionagainst the ravages of disease. Wimyn,view with Jeffrey Ferry (The Face, Feb.1985), Madonna proclaims: “From when Iwas very young, I just knew that being agirl and being charming in a feminine sortof way could get me a lot of things, and Imilked it for everything I could." Oh Ma¬donna, irresistible and dangerous, youhave hit on that ageless, unbeatable, andoh-so-origina! combination. I think theycall it exploitation...Madonna's ethic is easily seen in heraesthetic. She wears black leather andlace, she wears studs and bows. Shewrithes, she pouts. She’s letting us knowthat under her facade of sexual experi¬ence she’s really just a (vulnerable) littlegirl. Boy Toy, I guess you’d call it. What arelief. The ultimate object of male fan¬tasy, she slips from playmate to MissAmerica and back again in a snap. “Like avirgin/Feels so good inside...” But wait,who is playing with whom. On the cover of“Like a Virgin,” is Madonna removing herchastity belt or brandishing her guns?“You know that we are living in a materi¬al world/And I am a material girl...” Weare dealing with both Brooke Shields andher mother here, all rolled into one.Madonna cultivates this dualism in herimage, to be sure. She even goes so far asto fudge the lines between star and fan.“You may be my lucky star/But I’m theluckiest by far...” sings Madonna, gazingat me from rockvideoland. And, in thespirit of things, I'm never sure whethershe means it or not. Still, Madonna has amore tenuous hold over her image thanshe would lead us to believe. Having de¬veloped a relationship with her fansbased on patterns of dominance and sub¬mission, it should come as no surprise thatif star and fan can switch places, so too candominator and submiter. Madonna hasmade herself into an icon; she enacts hersubmissive role not simply as sex-kittenfor a single spectator, but in the largerarena of popular culture. While it is truethat in creating her own image Madonnatwists and manipulates popular ideas ofAmerican womanhood, it is no less truethat she is subject to them.Certainly Madonna has put herself in aplace where she reigns unchallenged; shehas the music industry at her feet. But shedoes not actually control the powers thatmotivate her. “The girl can’t help it,” she"craves” success. Her ambition is somekind of mysterious force, conceived in thelanguage of physical, insatiable desire.She is a slave to her ambition, which es¬sentially is just a variant of her off-the-wall brand of sexuality. cannot afford to have another child. Theymay believe that a woman’s uterus is un¬conditionally her concern and her respon¬sibility.Some people may even consider morethan one side of the issue. One’s personalopinion, the opinion of others, the currentpolitical tide, practicality, and the presentpolicy are all valid considerations whichdo not fall neatly onto one ‘side’ or theother. Our nation’s greatest strengths arethe diversity of its citizens and their opin¬ions, and their right to hold and peaceablyespecially in tribal societies, had the dutyto defend their children against harsh con¬ditions. They were doctors, policemen, ad¬judicators, teachers, social workers andthe law of the land (at least until theirbondholders came home). They controlledthe upbringing of their offspring in a man¬ner virtually impossible in today’s society.Good parental skills were required...andvalued.Though exploited in the classical femin¬ist sense, these mothers had spans of con¬trol and responsibility beyond their mod¬ern amanuensis counterparts. Thoughbarefoot and pregnant, they had theknowledge that they had the ability toThrough her body, Madonna also playsout the major demands of American post¬feminism. Her resolution of these demandsis, for feminists, unacceptable. Madonna isnot the woman who makes room in her lifefor both her career and her sexuality, in¬stead, she is someone in whom thesethings have become conflated. Her sexual¬ity is her career, and the totality is off-balance and out of control. She does notachieve the ideal (and almost certainlydoes not strive to), but rather its under¬side, its joke side. Such a joke-womanposes no threat to patriarchy. In a timewhen so many young women believe theproject of feminism to be complete, Ma¬donna’s inflated status is icon serves as areminder that this is not the case.Madonna’s ultimate appeal lies not inher outrageousness but in her adherenceto a tradition—she is yet another Ameri¬can Heroine. Determined on the outside,fragile on the inside, Madonna goes ma¬donna on us after all. Never mind the arbi¬trary and useless assignment of dualities,never mind the hopeless romanticization;if these categories were not already in¬grained in the American consciousness,Madonna would be nowheresville. Theyare, quite simply, an integral part of herallure. Her fans can’t resist.American to the last, Madonna marchesthrough the wilderness and finds, of allthings, her virginity. If she can’t tame theIndians, her sexuality will do. No matterhow explicit her lyrics get, they herald nokind of sexual revolution — except a do¬mesticated one. Jay Hoberman believes“ “Like a Virgin” ’s ideal video wouldpresent Madonna dressed as the Statue ofLiberty leading a motley chorus of yuppiesand steelworkers, fundamentalists and-bankers all wearing smile buttons andbrandishing big sticks, and addressing herwords toward a giant telescreen image ofthe president.” (Voice, Jan. 29, 1985) Be¬cause so many of her songs are about noth¬ing, they ring hollow and empty, like sex,like the revolution. Pretty bleak.So now I know who Madonna appeals to;thirteen year old girls, millions of collegestudents, an editor’s mom. I do not takeissue with Madonna because she is excep¬tional, or fundamentally different fromdozens of other pop stars. She is not. Sheis, however, more flamboyant, and there¬fore an easier target. But I won’t turn mynose up at her for spelling things out soclearly for me. I’ll just know how to an¬swer when she asks feminists “Hey, can’tyou take a joke?” Hey Madonna, can’t youtake a joke too far. express those opinions. No one person (nora group of persons) has the right to coerceanother to give up his or her opinion, espe¬cially on issues that concern the privatelives *of a relatively small number of peo¬ple. The nation’s policy on the most per¬sonal concerns of its citizens need not beunconditionally restrictive nor uncondi¬tionally permissive. The policy must be awell-considered compromise betweenthese two extremes. And the nation’s poli¬cy is Roe v. Wade.make a critical difference in the lives oftheir children.

(I am not implying a quid proquo — I’m looking just at control.)Now the shoe is on the other foot.Wimyn, through the use of contraceptives,have some say over maternity wear. Sexeducation has given them a newfound un¬derstanding of the process used to abetdiaper sales. Most men have acknow¬ledged that pregnancy has become anissue for two, a great change from even 50years ago. Educated (sexually), conscien¬tious men and women can avoid havingchildren yet enjoy sexual relations. Indi¬vidual control over conception has neverbeen greater.Yet the price has been paid. Parents nolonger have the ability to fully direct theirchildren’s lives. The state now dictateswhat you can and can’t do with your son ordaughter. Education at home is all butgone. Certain standards of conduct mustbe maintained, otherwise your childrenare taken from you. These standards maybe very beneficial, but they encroach fur¬ther on the mother-child relationship.The state assumes much in the way of re¬sponsibility for your children. Singlemothers are provided with state aid forsupport (Aid to Families with DependentChildren). Small tax deductions defraysome of the cost of raising children. Localand state social workers standby in casethe home environment becomes too hos¬tile. Between TV and school, its a wonderchildren know they have parents at all.The issue of Choice can be analyzed interms of the state’s span of control. In tak¬ing responsibility for the general welfareof children, the state has exerted its per¬ceived right to control its children onceconceived. Such rescrudescence after (?)Roe vs. Wade is merely a natural attemptto extend state power over its would-bechildren. State progeny deserve all theprotection available.Now that so much control has been sacri¬ficed by parents/individuals when itcomes to having kids, why should thisminor extension upset anyone? The child’snot really parental property anyway. Theability of wimyn to raise their babies asthey see fit has fallen victim to mass com¬munication, mass education and mass ac¬ceptance of our lives; not to mention thepossible economic necessity of having twoworking parents.It isn’t rational for an individual to giveone’s full attention to something overwhich s/he perceives to have limited con¬trol. Maybe there’s something behind thisgeneration of apathy when it comes tohaving children. Wimyn must stultify thestate’s attempt to in*erfere with thatwhich, at its most basic level, distinguisheswimyn from men. A male dominated soci¬ety would like nothing better than to re¬gain some power over this once totallydominated arena. How can wimyn begir torestructure society if the state effectivelycontrols their bodies? Apathy soon risesup to stifle feminist initiative.It is time once again for wimyn to bandtogether and reaffirm the litany “Keepyour laws off my body.” A fetus, thoughconceived by two is surely the domain ofonly one...an integral part of that wimln'sbody for nine months...two bodies thatfunction together as one. The womb is nohospice for the pious minions wishing toreassert their seif-evident hypocrisy.SELF-EVIDENT HYPOCRISYLIKE, AVERSION10—FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1985-GREY CITY JOURNALCOPIEShair performers50*OFF Reg$30-$60.Custom PermsNOW *15-s30Haircut & Styling Not IncludedOFFER EXPIRES MARCH 15THOUR FAMOUS STUFFED PIZZA IN THE PANIS NOW AVAILABLE IN HYDE PARKcocktails • Pleasant Dining • Pick-up"Chicago’s best pizza!" - Chicago Magazine, March 1977"The ultimate in pizza!” - New York Times, January 19805311 S.

How and in what order thesethings came to pass I am not exactly sure,but jaw-set lawyer ! once was, I am nowthe browsing old teetotaler thumbing aheavy volume in the back of the reaeingroom, on whose dozing shoulder the librar¬ian taps at closing time. My boyhood tutorgave me Latin and Greek. Tacitus and face picked out of the black by slashes ofroken Jight, white, with dark, smudgedIjps. I w*s drunk, very drunk, and then she;as dead. I am a man and not an animal, Igw cause and effect, agent and object,and they are my drunkeness and herdeath, I and she.There is a boy looking at me as I mutterover these pages. He is wondering whatthat old man could be scribbling that’s gothim so excited — it can’t have anything todo with that dull-looking stack of bookshe’s collected. Go back to your biologyboy, there are lots of people like me in thelibrary. And these books? These booksare the last thing left in the library for meto read. For all I know they may be theway to another universe. But I exagger¬ate. There are no ways to other universes,only signs from them. Things leak through.Artifacts. And I believe these books, thesebrown, leatherbound, aging things, tow< ~ ui vvvii, uvuiiu, oyn ly imiiyo,Ovid, Homer and Sophocles were my boy- point the way to another conception ofhood friends, and they are my companions time. I’ll tell you what I mean.and witnesses in old age, but for manyyears I read little, besides the newspaper,but briefs and casebooks. ||I was a good iawyer, a resourceful andsingle-minded professional man. In theselast years I have come to the library everyday, and I scarcely exaggerate when I saythat it seems to me I have read everythinghere there is for me to read. I have lookedin books of all kinds, fiction.and non-fic¬tion, novels, reference books, plays, bio¬graphies, short stories, and poems; histo¬ries, essays, and philosophicalspeculation. Today I found something thathas made me believe in something I neverbelieved in before, a world where re¬demption is — maybe — possible.I drink now, as I said, rarely, but when Idrink, well I drink to remember what itwas I was drinking to forget. And I may aswell have kept on drinking for all the goodit did to quit by the time I did, with Irenedead of it instead of me, but before herdeath I didn’t have the will to stop and af¬terwards I couldn’t keep it up anymore.The impetus wasn’t there. The impetuswas Irene. For the first five years of ourmarriage I loved Irene, for the next ten IIflved her without knowing it, and for thelast thirty I have lived — none too com¬fortably — with the fact that I killed her.The pain of it is blunted with battering,.*and the doors long since closed on themore horrible demons of accusation,though I suppose they rage somewhere.But I don’t like looking in my mind. Entirlliparts of it that used to be open countryare just black tangles now. I cart only say.. .. *that if I had my life to do over again f ready withwouldn’t change a thing, no, not a sing^thing — except that Sunday. If I had ft to It seems ordinary to us, though it makesus suffer, that time moves continually for¬ward, that we may do things only once,however repetitive they may seem, andthat we may see only behind us but not be¬fore. But imagine a world where the in¬habitants are blessed — or condemned, asit were — to do everything they considerin the way of deeds three times. In thesebrown bindings are documents, some frag¬ments, some pages, and some entireworks; some of historical, some of theolog¬ical, some of philosophical, and some of fic¬tional nature. They strike me like nothingelse I have seen Their nature is at oncealien and all too human, for, plainly writ¬ten by different authors in different ages,they are all predicated on the strange as¬sumption that one can — indeed must — re¬peat everything three times, a worldwhere life moves in little beats of threevariations, as though it were an act uponthe stage, and yet this is as ordinary, andas painful, for them as our single chancesare to us. An excerpt from what seems tobe a sermon, dated and signed by a Rever¬end Braithwhite reads,“Children, the ancient philosophers saidthat even the sins of the Two cannot beforgiven, for the consequences that cannotbe felt in this world spill onto the innocentsof other worlds. This seems to us quaintand esoteric; we do and repeat, do < tainted. Do not walk with a murderer’ssoul into the Third, for the acts there areirrevocable...”There is more of the sermon, all in manu¬script — it is long and repetitive as ser¬mons are — and a great deal more be¬sides, both of manuscript and printedmatter. Of particular interest is a work offiction written by, or about, a young man.I would think it a diary or journal, for itsfirst-person narrator, were it not for thefact that it appears in printed form. Per¬haps it is a published journal. You mayjudge for yourselves. One chapter con¬tains a simple account of the boy meetinghis lover in the woods.“We had agreed to meet at CedronPark, in the picnic area of the NorthGrove; we would find each other, we hadsaid, among the trees. Walking along theasphalt road, my nostrils stinging withylate spring and the anticipation of the firsttime, I tried not to go over the possibilitiestoo meticulously. The best thing to do in acase like this was to let the first time hap¬pen to you. It’s like cracking the pages Of anew book. k“I turned off the road and onto the nar¬row dirt path that led through the picnicarea. She was sitting at a picnic table afew yards off from the path, immediatelyvisible through the young trees. She hadstopped gazing around and seemed tofocus all her attention on a single squareof the plastic checked tablecloth left bythe last picnickers, her head in her hands,her ambiguous blond hair falling in herface. The sound of my feet on last au-'tumn’s leaves made her look up; she sawme and focused her mild gaze on myface.'Hello, Peter,’ she said.I smiled and took her hand, and took aseat next to her on the bench. At the sightof her I felt a wave of immense love, andthen of resentment towards her for inspir¬ing it. A thought came into my mind: ndw isthe time if you ever want to try it.‘I wasn’t sure you’d come,’ she said,leaning forwards for a kiss. I bent myhead to kiss her, but turned it to place thekiss on her cheek.‘You can trust me,’ I said.‘I guess I can!’ she laughed; ...And then I put my fingers around herthroat and squeezed as hard as I could,do over again I would do any ope of the,^f# $pmmit vxMjjfiHthousand things that might have saved dor toayhem will be restored toher; drunk a dram less, surrendered upthe keys like they do in the AAfcommercials, anything that would havef knockeiaside that moment after which my wife^death moved from possibility to fact.Man is cruelly made, and made.for crueW.gty, and the very things that enable him tq ~live curse him and prove his weaknesses, fspeak now of forgetting.

Michele Russellasks: “By what feminist criteria do whitewomen celebrate token jobs as truckdrivers when not only the mob connectionsbut the racism of the trucking industry arelegendary and the unemployment rate ofthe black community as a whole continuesto be twice that of the white?” JacquelineGrant provides us with the quote of ablack woman: “We are being told thatapples and oranges are the same when wecan see that they are not. You cannot sub¬stitute one for the other in a recipe. Theirodors are different, they appeal to peopledifferently. Even a blind person can tellthem apart.”The task before feminist theology is toname the particular sin and be able to ar¬ticulate the universal dimensions of it.Rather, the universal is manifested in theparticular, but not exhausted by it. Femin-nist theology attempts to create a world¬view which reimages the roles of men andwomen in our culture and within theologi¬cal structures. That re-imaging must be in¬formed by the experience of all cultureswithin the theological enterprise.Coming from the black community andtoe black church (and’ the black pulpit)means that black women understand theneed for clarity in their speech, action, andthought Feminist thootogy has said and continues to say little to us. Too much offeminist theology is caught up in academicsemantics that have absolutely no relationto the actual battle to survive blackwomen are engaged in and called to leadtheir churches in.Often, the reply black women hear isthat “it is not my experience as a whitewoman, so I do not wish to offend you bypresuming to understand what it is like tobe a black woman” or “Just because we donot talk about our racism does not meanwe are not thinking about it.” The experi¬ence of participating in maintaining a ra¬cist society is the experience of whitewomen. To look at how white women helpto maintain an unjust structure is a taskthat can inform and enlighten whitewomen as well as eliminate the racist as¬sumptions that underpin guilt feelingsabout racism. Feminist theological reflec¬tion that does not take into account the in¬dividual's participation in maintaining sin¬ful structures cannot articulate thecorporate nature of maintaining thosesame structures. The new image, the newcreation feminist theology talks aboutmust include a reimage of the woman whois not encumbered by her racism as well asby the sexism of the old earth.Coalitions are a must in a pluralistic soci¬ety such as ours. Feminists must be able tolive with the diversity among them andcontinue to address the common u;suesthat effect all women. More black womenhave not joined the feminist movement be¬cause it is not serious about unity withindiversity. We do not acknowledge our di¬visions, or if we do, we allow them to be¬come divisive. Coalitions are difficult tomaintain, because there may be so many worldviews present as well as analyticalmethods. We must learn from one anotherand listen carefully to the dynamic ofchange each viewpoint expresses. Asblack and white feminists, we have muchto share with each other.Women of color have much to gain fromwhite women’s learnings of dealing with amale power structure. But, black womenrefuse to join any movement which doesnot allow us to articulate the plight ofblack women in a multi-layered society inwhich we are at the bottom. We beginfrom different places. There are dif¬ferences in how we look at society and thepaths of mobility open to us. To admit thatwe are not ail the same is not to say thatwe are not all of the body.Coalitions share information which mayotherwise be lost or misrepresented bythose who are in power. Important com¬monalities and disparities can be ad¬dressed within coalitions. Allow a simplis¬tic line of thought: As women weexperience the common oppression of sex¬ism. As members of North American soci¬ety, we share the experience of racism,but from different viewpoints. For thoseof us in different economic classes, we un¬derstand the inequity of women’s workand women’s worth, gain from differentperspectivies. Lesbians experience the ho¬mophobia which some of us practice.The essential ingredient for us all is thecaring for life and the caring for the peo¬ple in our society. A coalition which under¬stands its diversity and makes no judge¬ments which are in effect veiled chauvism,can face bravely its own shortcomings andits own oppressive elements and thenwork to eradicate them. Only then can we expect to be transforming agents in soci¬ety and in the church.The task is to be self-critical in our inclu-sivity. As Jacqueline Grant so eloquentlystates:Having a stake or investment,black women (and other black ThirdWorld women) stand in a unique po¬sition to demand the self-criticism ofthe various perspectives and groupsin order to insure wholistic analy¬sis.Feminist theology is practical — it is meantto be put to use. This practical approachstates that it is mindful of class, race, sex,age, sexual preference, nationality, faith.Feminist theology promises a great dealfor black women, but it consistently fallsshort of its promise because it refuses tosystematically deal within itself withthose forms of oppression it calls thechurch into accountability for.Feminist theology must answer to theconcrete demands of all women if it is toremain a theology of liberation. Feministtheology, if it does not help the church,theological education, and the people in itestablish an authentic liberation ethic,falls short of its claim of liberation.Christians are and must be engaged «nhistorical action. The goal of the church isthe transformation of all oppressive struc¬tures in society — spiritual and physical.The place we choose to situate ourselvesthrough our analysis of who we are as op¬pressors and the oppressed must be onehoned from the hard work of being openand honest and active in changing the divi¬sions which are divisive among usGREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1986-15INFANTILE RAGEby J.R. SyllaWe are frustrated by the state ofgender relations and their history, all ofus outwardly or in secret. Just as sexuali¬ty roofs in the core of our being, gendertension grips us. We know it. Yet mostbar-died-about theories and diatribes ongender tension are only troublesome orunconvincing. We don’t trust their an¬swers. But we must be moved by their at¬tempts.We can learn from art and argument.Art and argument — comprised of passion¬ate writing and logic merged — permeateThe Mermaid and the Minotaur: SexualArrangements and Human Malaise byDorothy Dinnerstein, a Freudian revision¬ist of sorts. Odds are you won’t read thisbook, so you should enjoy some of ithere:“As common sense had long told us,and as experimental psychology hasrecently made overwhelmingly clear,nervous systems demand to be used.Deprived of exercise, they rot, producepathological aberrations, or at bestdrive their owners into fixed patternsof sterile activity. The visual system ofthe chimpanzee reared in darkness de¬teriorates. The human subject in a sen¬sory-deprivation experiment halluci¬nates. The captive squirrel runsmonotonously in his circular treadmill.The laboratory rat rigidly alternatesbetween left and right pathways, bothleading to the same reward, in a too fa¬miliar maze. My neighbor imprisonedin underdemanding housewifery waxesand rewaxes her intrinsically shinyvinyl floor.”Mermaids and Minotaurs are half¬human, half-animal, characteristically ofextreme gender, strange and only mythi¬cal. They represent rigid, untrue, and im¬balanced paradigms. Dinnerstein’s bookexplores the imbalanced, polar para¬digms of femine women and masculinemen, what the stereotypes do to us, andmost important, what drives their exis¬tence. It is peppered with the graphic andcarnal as well as the scientific and psy¬choanalytic.“Woman, who introduced us to thehuman situation and who at the begin¬ning seemed to us responsible forevery drawback of that situation, car¬ries for all of us a pre-rational onus ofultimately culpable responsibility for¬ever. And this incomparable onus...isusually buried, but it is buried alive, itexists as an inarticulate source — themost profound source, I believe — ofthat refusal to accept things the waythey are.It is mainly women who challenge theold gender arrangement. Yet in doingit many of us assert...that the pres¬sures it imposes on men are at least asmutilating, distorting, and debasing asit imposes on us.”Her work follows Freud, without em¬bracing his Victorian bias but with grati¬tude for his foundation. Today we’re re¬ceptive to the notion that early childhoodexperiences affect our development as in¬dividuals. Putting aside alt debate overcomplexes, phases, and envies, most peo¬ple would agree that an individual person¬ality emerges in laige part shaped byear'/ experiences and traumas.The central thesis in Mermaid is that in¬fantile rage colors later-life views of menand women. The week-old baby whoknows only itself can only scream in rageat a cold outside world unready to meet itsevery want — warmth, food, stroking, su¬premacy in the universe. It learns that asuperior parent — a controlling individualforce outside and other than itself — givesand withholds attention and affection. Toooften, Dinnerstein argues, that superiorparent is a woman.Think of our humanchild as it grows It’s a frustrated egomaniac! It fights to defineits own identity, an identity apart fromthe world which time and again denies itswants. It fights for control in a worldwhere it’s powerless.“The initial experience of depen¬dence on a largely uncontrollable out¬side source of good is focused on awoman, and so is the earliest experi¬ence of vulnerability to disappointmentand pain. A woman is...the first beingto whose wishes the child may be forcedby punishment to subordinate its own,the first powerful and loved creaturewhom the child tries voluntarily toplease.”What man has not sometimes pushedaway and belittled his mother but tacitlyacknowledged her mystic authority, insome pre-rational way? What womanhasn’t felt that there is in her body a spe¬cial magic and a wisom that transcendspetty people politics and self-aggrandize¬ment, but also felt ambivalence towardher womanhood and, at times, admirationfor “male-typed” traits. These attitudesare, says Dinnerstein, a few among manyconsequences of our predominant child¬care system. And they aren t the worstsymptoms.“Early rage at the first parent, inother words, is typically used by the‘masculine’ boy during the Oedipalperiod to consolidate his tie with hisown sex by establishing a principled in¬dependence, a more or less derogatorydistance, from women. And it is typical¬ly used by the ‘feminine’ girl in thissame period to loosen her tie with herown sex by establishing a worshipful,dependent stance toward men. Justwhen that boy is learning to keep hisfeelings for his mother under control,that girl (precisely because her firstemotional problems also centered onthe mother) is learning to over-idealizethe father. This contrast, of course,heavily supports asymmetry of sexualprivilege.’Mermaid is self-styled as an inquiry in¬tended not to exhort but to subvert. In theauthor’s words, its aim is not to condemnmale-female conservatism — with itsrigid, sometimes pathological symbiosis —but rather, by uncovering certain of itsemotional sources, to undermine it.Dinnerstein succeeds in undermininganti-woman, anti-men elements in the sym¬biosis, the division of responsibility, op¬portunity, and privilege, twixt womenand men. You need not buy the whole ofher argument to appreciate her work.(She must have enough critics throughoutthe feminist spectrum to warrant placingher partly outside it, if that be notheresy.) Instead, absorb some of her com¬pelling ideas and determined prose andbring into focus some of our own gendertension.Mermaid offers hope, absent in much ofthe literature, for evolutionary societalhealing of gender tension and imbalance.As at least a step in the right direction,Dinnerstein prescribes a more active, bal¬anced role for men in childrearing.Less-distant male parenting might re¬duce the heavy psychological baggage fe¬male parents bear when children growand define themselves as individuals intheir new worlds too much in terms delin¬eated against women. They wouldn’t soearly recognize a pattern of gender dicho¬tomy leaving women as a pre-rationalfocus for their rage. Then infantile rageand self-definition would contribute lessto gender tension.That prescription of a new balancedtype of childcare, in any case a starttoward gender harmony, promises espe¬cially compelling results in light of TheMermaid artd the Minotaur.This box device is Dinnerstein’s own. BREADWINNERby Sue PawloskiThose of you who are familiar with the“Hers” column in The New York Timesknow Barbara Ehrenreich to be an elo¬quent, keen, and unamused observer ofcontemporary American society. In herlatest book, The Hearts of Men: AmericanDreams and the Flight from Commitmentshe examines the current trend amongyoung male urban professionals to “re¬volt” from the institution of marriage, orrather, what she calls the “breadwinnerethnic.” She claims that it is this trend,and not feminism, per se, that the newly-powerful right-wing anti-feminism forces(typified by Phyllis Schlafly) are singlingout as their object of attack. She sees theright’s actions as an effort to returnAmerica to the social climate of the fifties,the heyday of the breadwinner ethic,where to be twenty-five, male, and singlewas “deviant, sinful, and medically un¬wise.” She also attributes this way ofthinking to the right’s efforts to recrimin¬alize homosexuality and to restore the“consequences of heterosexual sex” byoutlawing abortion, and possibly contra¬ception.The two most interesting chapters in thebook have to do with the Beat rebellionand the catalytic role played by Playboymagazine respectively. Both had the ef¬fect of presenting the docile, thoroughly-domesticated bread-winner with possibili¬ties that were beyond nis wildest dreams.The Beats rejected me work-consumptioncycle out of hand while the Playboy lifes¬tyle, typified by its swinging guru, HughHefner, was all for work and consumption,lots of it; it was the idea of sharing it witha parasitic wife and spawn that they ob¬jected to. Ehrenreich’s use of popular liter¬ature to illustrate her theories about theshift from breadwinner to playboy arevery well-taken and leaves one with theimpression that the historians of our ageshould best not be snobs because it is inthe pages of Life, and not in textbooks, BEATS RETREATthat our story is being told.Ehrenreich’s reading of recent history isquite convincing, considering the highlyoriginal nature of some of her insights.Her projections for the future, however,are disturbing at best. She believes thatmale rejection of the role of breadwinner,or even participant in a nuclear family,will continue as a trend, while women willcontinue to give in to the biological urge tohave children, only to raise them by them¬selves, or in the company of female sup¬port networks composed of neighbors,grandmothers, aunts, and friends, such asis seen among Black women today.In her concluding chapter, she strikes aplaintive note when she writes: “We...facethe prospect of briefer "relationships,”punctuated by emotional dislocations andseldom offering the kind of loyalty thatmight extend into middle age. If we acceptthe male revolt as a historical fait accom¬pli, and begin to act upon its economic con¬sequences, are we not in some way givingup on men, much the same way as the righthas done? Are we acquiescing to a futurein which men will always be transients inthe lives of women, and never fullymembers of the human family?”Her answer to this question, and theonly bit of hope that she can offer us, isthat women will continue to promote thefeminist principle, “so often repeated,that women are also persons, with thesame needs for respect, for satisfyingwork, for love and pleasure, as men. As itis, male culture seems to have abandonedthe breadwinner role without overcomingthe sexist attitudes that the role has per¬petuated: on the other hand, the expecta¬tion of female nurturance and submissiveservice as a matter of right; on the other,a misogynist contempt for women as“parasites” and trappers of men. In a“world without a father,” that ie, withoutthe private system of paternity built intofamily wage system, we will have tolearn to be brother^ and sisters.”POEMHenderson laughedFreely.He sat in a corner; bruised; confused.Then he threw the ball backAt the unblemished face that had broken his hand.She caught the glowing obelisk, still laughing.He understood her message.He clenched his battered fist.And felt her message.He too preferred pain to pity.He left her bleeding.
