X'.'.vc; tiy ArchivesY. r^uL'tc'.-u LibraryPhoto by Elizabeth RussoBackgroundThe strikeBy GAGE ANDREWSProtests over the June 15 dismissals of sixlibrarians, four of whom had been active inthe attempt to organize a union amongemployees, culminated last week in asuccessful one day strike and a stingingrebuke to the university from the annualAmerican Library Association’s meeting inLas Vegas.Protest had been mounting, but wasundecided in direction since union leadersdid not want to inconvenience library usersany more than necessary. After a noon rallyon June 22 (erroneously reported in theMaroon not to have occurred), there was ameeting of both Local 103A and 10.1B thatevening in the Blue Gargoyle. It was decidedto canvass employees to determine supportfor the strike. Staff support was seventy-fivepercent, and a strike date was set forMonday June 25.On the day of the strike, picketers were atthe doors of Regenstein at six o’clock, morethan early enough to catch all employees andadministrators on their way to work.Picketers marched at seven locations aroundthe University, including Harper and bothsides of Law libraries, and several loadingdocks where Teamsters refused to cross thelines. Swift and Chemistry Libraries wereclosed, and the entire library system wasgreatly slowed down by what one unionleader termed “the almost 90 percenteffectiveness of the strike.”Union leaders were particularly pleasedwith the amount of outside support they havereceived, before and after the strike. Localorganizations sending messages included theLab School Teachers Union, Libraries fromU of I Circle Campus Local of the AmericanFederation of Teachers, and from the Graduate Student Council of the HistoryDepartment; and from Chicago PublicLibrary, John Crerar, Northeastern IllinoisUniversity, and the Illinois State Library.Messages from employees at Princeton.Columbia, Northwestern, Berkeley, Yale,and the New York, Los Angeles, and SanFrancisco public Libraries were alsoreceived. All messages of support were readat a noon rally held the day of the strike.Perhaps the strongest action condemningthe administration s decision came from theplenary session of the American LibraryAssociation convention in Las Vegas. Aftertwo of the dismissed Regenstein employees(who have termed themselves, as a group,the "Regenstein Four”) had flown to LasVegas to present the unions’ case, a motionwas passed on the floor, by a large margin,that strongly urges reconsideration of thedismissals and their implications. Themotion reads, in part:“Therefore, be it resolved, that themembership of the American LibraryAssociation directs that a full and completeinvestigation of the University of ChicagoLibrary’s personnel policies and proceduresbo undertaken immediately by the ALACommittee on Mediation, Arbitration andInquiry (SCAMI), and directs thiscommittee to report by the midwintermeeting.“And further, that the American LibraryAssociation strongly urges the University ofChicago Library administration to reinstatethe six discharged staff members to theirpositions without prejudice pending SCAMIaction.” SCAMI accepted the floor directive,and has begun its investigation.The voting membership on the floor alsocontinued on page three ByC D JACOLabor problems continued to mount atRegenstein Library last week, spurred bythe dismissal of six employees for what theUniversity called “budgetary” reasons. Thedismissals of the so-called “Regenstein Six”on June 15 were followed by a flurry ofactions, charges, and statements, including:—Charges by the Library union that four ofthe six, union members and organizers, weredismissed in an attempt by the University to“bust” the union;—A one-day strike ar.d rally held byLibrary union members and sympathizerson June 18;-A resolution by the convention of theAmerican Library Association calling for thereinstatement of the six pending aninvestigation by the ALA;The appointment of a three-mancommittee by Provost John Wilson toinvestigate the “policies and prioritiesestablished by the Board of the Library;”The circulation of statements by Wilsonand Library Director Stanley McElderrvexplaining the University position on thecutbacks;-Charges by members of the Libraryunion that picketers were harassed andintimidated during the June 18 strike.Wilson denied charges of union-busting,saying “The University is not engaged in aunion-busting campaign. The libraryoperations had to be fitted into a budget thatwas much too small. The library was forcedto decide which position could be eliminatedwith least harm to the library. MrMcElderry did this within the reference ofwhich functions took priority.” Wilson reacted to charges of union bustingby saying “That charge, quite frankly, is alot of bull. The University has dealt with andcontinues to deal with unions in a verysatisfactory manner. I’m surprised thatLibrary picketers from the Lab School,where a union referendum has been defeatedfor the past two or three years, should joinwith the Library union in accusing us ofunion-busting.”Defending the University position that thepersonnel cutbacks were due to budgetaryrestrictions, Wilson said “Academic unitshave been under fiscal constraints for threeyears. We have had to eliminate teachingpositions in the Fermi Institute, cut back onpersonnel in dormitory services, and cutback library personnel, just to name a fewinstances. The University has had no facultygrowth since 1970. I can’t see why the libraryshould be an exception.”Patricia Coatsworth, a union organizerwhose position as documents librarian wasabolished, disputed Wilson's claim. “It’sstrange.” she said, “that the Universityshould claim that the dismissals were madesolely on the basis of function. I was told byMcElderry a short time before my dismissalthat my function couldn't be eliminated TheUniversity has contradicted itself.”As a result of the dismissals, a charge ofunfair labor practices has been filed by theunion with the National Labor RelationsBoard against the University. Sources closeto the University Legal Departmentexpressed confidence that the NLRB wouldrule in favor of the University. RichardMarcus, the lawyer retained by thecontinued on page six' PIZZA!

Phonat 2844900 LETTERS TO THE EDITORBOSS: Royko at PostHenry Post concluded his recent review ofthe Musical “Boss” with this paragraph:(Note: In conversation with Mike Royko, Iasked: “What did you think of Boss?“ Hisreply: “It was entertaining. Of course it hadnothing to do with my book.” “Well, did youfind it immoral that serious Chicagoproblems had been turned into a money¬making scheme?** Silence.)End of Post’s review.Now, that gives the impression that theprofundity of Mr Post’s question left mespeechless. Post rides into the sunset while Istand there with my mouth open.It wasn’t quite that way. I concede that fora moment or two, I didn’t respond. My phonerang only seconds earlier, and a completestranger had informed me he was writing areview of “Boss,” and he had asked me whatI thought of it and I told him.Then he tossed that question at me, aboutthe musical being immoral.Nobody had asked me that before, and Ihadn’t thought about it. So I hope I can beforgiven a moment of silence. Maybe at theUniversity of Chicago, people can run up toeach other and ask if this or that is immoraland get an instant response. Or on theHoward Miller show. But when I’m in the...and vice versaWith a tip of the hat, I offer my thanks forMr. Royko’s response. As Oscar Wilde oncesaid, “It’s absurd to divide people into goodand bad. People are either charming ortedious.” (Lady Windemere’s Fan)Of course, Mr Royko, I grossly distortedour phone conversation. Almost as much as middle of writing a column, it can take me afew seconds to pull myself together.Which I did, after two or three seconds ofsilence. And I said to Mr Post: “Gee, I hadn’treally thought about it being immoral.”And Mr Post then went into a long spielabout why it was immoral. He soundedpretty agitated and excited, although I can’tbe sure. Maybe he always sounds that way.When he finished, I said: “Well, it’s prettyobvious that you think it is immoral.”And he said: “Yes, I do.”So I thanked him for calling me and tellingme that, and we both said goodby.One other thing: About a third of the waythrough his review, Mr Post writes:“While I refuse to discuss the fact that thisproduction is immoral, politicallydestructive and banally abhorrent, I cantake total pleasure in reporting thatartistically this production was the verybottom.”What the heck is going on with Mr Post?First he makes me look like a chump for notresponding instantly to the question ofwhether the production is immoral, then herefuses to discuss it.I’m not going to answer my phoneanymore.Mike Roykoyou do. And for that, I deserve to have mywrists slapped. Which you do with such uttercharm and delicious style that your love tapresponse is now up on my wall.Thanks again,Henry PostCALENDARThursday* July 5RECITAL: Robert Lodine on the Rockefeller chapelcarillon, every Thursday at 7:30 pm.Friday* July 6TOUR: Lecture tour of the regions of the dead, or whateverthe ancient Egyptians called the West bank of the Nile.

Andrew Segal2-The Chicago Maroon, Thursday, July 5, 1973University budget hides library litigation expensesWILSON: Appoints committee to study library.By C D JACOThe University and Regenstein library arecurrently embroiled in a serious game ofmoney-money-who’s-got-the-money? All ofthe University academic budgets are introuble. Provost Wilson and library directorMcElderry both point to continued inflation,dollar devaluation, and cutbacks in Federalfunding as causes.This isn’t too surprising, considering thefact that the Chicago school of economistshave been running the budget since 1968.Wilson and McElderry should be thankfulthat the University hasn’t yet had to dismissall the students and plant soybeans in thequads to raise money.What is surprising, in this time ofbudgetary pinch, is the amount of money theUniversity has spent for legal fees in thelibrary union case. Before we get intoanything as simple as the financial aspect oflabor law, we should examine the budgetaryset-up of the entire University.The University budget is broken down intoseveral budgets. Each academic unit has itsown budget; in addition, there are restrictedfunds that can only be spent in certain ways.There are also, in the bowels of theComptroller’s office, unrestricted funds thatcan be used to take up slack in some cases.The academic and non-academic budgets,according to Wilson, are strictly segregated.“For example,” he said “if there were someextra money left over from pouring concrete,it is not available to the academic budget.”The University is quite willing to explainbudget procedures. In some cases, like theLibrary budget, it is more than willing torelease exact figures. In others, however,exact figures aren’t released. In fact, theentire existence of certain budgets isignored.One of these is the budget of the legaldepartment. The department, like mostother units, has its own budget. It is out ofthis budget that the University pays its legalfees, both to members of the legaldepartment, and to outside lawyers it bringsin to handle specific cases.One of these cases is that involving thelibrary union. Litigation first began betweenthe University and the library union early inMS CHRISTINE FLETCHER, director of UCchapter of Recording For The Blind.Photo by Tom Campbell. 1971. Ever since then, the University, theunion, and the National Labor RelationsBoard have been engaged in a three-waylegal battle over who is and is not asupervisor, whether the industrial definitionof “supervisor” is applicable to an academicsetting, and whether or not a campus-wideclerical union should be formed.The University engaged the Loop law firmof Seyfarth, Shaw, Fairweather, andGeraldson to handle the case. The firmappointed Richard Marcus, to handle thecase. Since then, the legal battle has takensome strange twists. One of these occurredwhen a library employee filed a suitcharging the University with trying tomanipulate the union by includingsupervisory personnel, who are legallyagents of the University.This sounds fine. However, the effect ofsuch a suit would be to split the union, andremove from it any supervisory personnelwho were doing union organizing. In effect,then, the suit filed against the University wasfiled for the University, because it sought toremove union organizers from the union. Theplot thickens.Marcus said, “I have no idea whether ornot the employee who filed the suit was aunion member. The individual actedANALYSISindependently to the best of my knowledge.”Pat Coatsworth disagrees. Pat Coatsworthis one of the six librarians dismissed by theUniversity, and is also a union organizer.According to her, “The person who filed thecharge was anti-union. He even received apromotion after he filed the suit. Marcushimself told our lawyer that the person whofiled the suit talked to deputy library directorStanley Gwynn before filing the charge.”Anyway, the situation revolves aroundbudgets and money. Since the University h^dbeen helpful, I decided to find out whereUniversity legal fees came from and howmuch they were. Walter Lean, head of thelegal department, refused to comment. SoOn the first floor of the Ryerson PhysicsBuilding, a small room with a soundproof,isolation chamber is located. Here, people ofextremely diverse backgrounds have beenseen to enter at all times of the day and nightand read aloud for hours on end. Anotherindividual sits mesmerized, listening to thespeech through earphones. This sceneconjures up Kafkesque visions of forcedindoctrination, or at least Watergate-typebriefings, and most passers-by inquire nofurther.The curious, however, would pause to readthe sign on the door or might even ventureinside, and so learn that the mysteriouspatrons were actually harmless readers oftextbooks, and the seeming indoctrinee wasactually operating a tape recorder. Thesoundproof booth was the University of did Richard Marcus. The UniversityTreasurer’s Office said that they didn’t knowwhere the money came from, and why didn’tI call the Comptroller’s Office? TheComptrollers Office suggested I call theLegal Department. And so forth.The entire budget of the legal departmentseemed pretty well hidden. However, thanksto sources close to the litigation for theUniversity, we are able to offer you thefollowing breakdown.The University’s lawyers have spent aminimum of 18 days in court contesting theunion. Each of these consists of at least sixhours, and often more. Let’s say six. Fourlabor lawyers in the Loop told me that theyspend anywhere from six to ten hoursresearching for every hour they put in in thecourtroom.18 days in court times a six hour day comesout to 108 hours. 108 hours times six hours ofresearch comes to 648. Not one of the fourlawyers I talked to would step into acourtroom for less than $100 an hour. 648Chicago unit of Recording for the Blind, aservice established to assist blind studentson our campus and throughout the country.Established in 1966 at UC, this organizationdraws almost exclusively from the UC - HydePark community for its volunteer readersand operators. At present, there are fortyreaders. Students at the University comprisethe majority of these, with several facultymembers and spouses and retired LabSchool teachers as well.Any blind student at the UC may requestany book to be transcribed, and these receivetop priority. As part of a nationwideorganization, the University branch also fillsrequests referred from other schools. Theseare numerous because the expertise somebooks require is available only at the unithere. hours times $100 is $64,800. If you figure aneight instead of a six hour day, the figurerises to $86,400. And if you utilize themaximum of ten hours research, the figuresoars to $144,000.This is all assuming that the legal fees are$100 an hour. As one of the four lawyers said.“The rate could be as high as $150 an hourThat's what some lawyers I know get." The$150 figure brings us to $216,000Since the University refuses to release anyexact figures, these are as close as we cancome using reasonable guidelines: aminimum of $64,800, and a maximum of$216,000. This does not include anyadministrative or staff time, but is ratherjust straight lawyer’s fees.Also keep in mind that none of this moneycan be transferred to an academic budgetthat acutely needs it. Maybe the soybeansaren’t such a bad idea after all RichardMarcus put it succintly when he said “I can'tpresume to suggest to the University howthey spend their money.”According to Ms Christine Fletcher, theunit’s director, “The University is unique inits ability to record technical material,suited to the qualifications of the readers.Mathematics, physics, and computer text¬books are most common now; but whateverskill a reader possesses, we try to utilize.”Thus, French literature, economics, andstatistics are also current specialties.At the present time, there are two PhDcandidates and a law student at the UCmaking use of the tapes. Also, three recentMBA’s, one of whom now works for theChase Manhattan bank, have been helped bythis free service. The office is renowned forkeeping odd hours to accommodate readersand, particularly during the summer, isshort-handed. Volunteers are very welcometo drop by Ryerson 160 or to call 288-7077.Program started to help blind studyALA resolution backs employeescontinued from page onepassed a resolution recommending that theALA Council, which has the authority todetermine association policy, adopt as ALApolicy, a statement that reads: “the right ofeach library employee to organize and tobargain collectively with his or her employerwithout fear of reprisal be affirmed by theAmerican Library Association.”Further action came from AmericanLibrary Association Government DocumentsRound Table, which stated that “TheUniversity of Chicago library summarilydismissed the head of its DocumentsDepartment for reasons unrelated to herperformance as Documents Librarian onJune 15, thereby seriously diminishing thequality of its documents service, and raisingmany questions about the continuingqualifications of the University of Chicago library for (government document)depository status. Therefore be it resolvedthat the ALA Government DocumentsRoundTable request of the University ofChicago library administration theimmediate reinstatement of its DocumentsLibrarian, Ms Patricia Coatsworth.”On campus, protest petitions and lettersbegan to circulate among staff and amongfaculty. A faculty committee has beenorganized to coordinate faculty toinvestigate the matter as fully as possible,and then to write a letter to President Levi.The group is centered in Mr Kelly’s office inPick 403.The focus of the energies of the protestorganizers has widened since the strike. Anoffice has now' been opened on the third floorof the Blue Gargoyle as a center for efforts toorganize a University-wide clerical unionwhich would include non-administrationpersonnel from throughout the university. Library staff, who realize that almost alllegal means of protesting the decision havebeen tied up in legal knots, are being urged todevote some of their vacation time to the all¬university union organizing effort.Pamphletting, and collecting signatures onpetitions asking for the reinstatement of thedismissed librarians, continues in front ofRegenstein during lunch hours. At themoment, union leaders have no plan for asecond strike in the near future. They areaware that the library is too vital to thecommunity to close down for very long. Theyfelt very pleased at both the results of thestrike - “It was a real thrill to see McElderry(director of the Library) escorted from thebuilding under police guard” said onepicketcr and with the results of the ALAconvention. The emphasis now is on gettingas wide support from the Universitycommunity, and waiting for legai decisionsto resolve the matter. CorrectionThe Maroon inadvertently labeled thethree librarians - Mss Irvine and Coatsworth,and Mr Arnold - as supervisors, in a picturecaption appearing on page 2 of the June 21stissue. The word “supervisors” had noreference to their standing as supervisorswithin the library itself, since the question ofwho is and who is not a supervisor (which hasbeen a point of contention between the unionand the library administration) has not beendecided The Maroon regrets furthercomplicating the issue, and retracts the useof that term The persons pictured shouldhave been identified merely as“employees."Thursday, June 21,1973-The Chicago Maroon-3'How will Tango's garden grow?'By HENRY POSTAs I walked out the old restaurant doorand past the goldfish-filled fountain in thelobby of the Belmont Hotel, a wonderfullyfriendly woman of about 65 took my arm.Already well within perfume range, Rosedrew even closer and in the most intimatetone asked, "What will the new restaurant becalled?”Just as secretively 1 whispered back intoher earring, "Tango. Rose, the newrestaurant wili be called Tango.”And with a tickled toss of the head. "Oh. . I can t wait,” she drew close againBeginning her next question with a squeezeof my arm. Rose asked, "And will it begood?”Good? Rose, how could I answer you afterjust tasting samples of some of the mostluscious omelettes and exquisite seafoods Ihave ever had the pleasure to lift from aplate and gently place in my mouth?"Rose, Tango is heaven on earth.”If there’s one thing Chicago needs, it’s aheavenly restaurant oasis. And Tango, therestaurant to be at 3172 N. Sheridan Road,might just be it. When the doors open in late July, Rose will be in for a unique experience.While waiting for her table, Rose will relaxin a lounge and a bar with such bite-sizedmorsels as tiny puff pastry with crab meatremoulade just waiting to whet her appetite.Once at her table, Rose can select from adeliciously novel yet moderately pricedmenu featuring delicate seafoods andextraordinary omelettes. The sole stuffedand bathed in a warm oyster sauce Biaritzwill seem almost as indescribable as theomelette made with the most exquisite ofwhite asparagus topped in a subtlehollandaise sauce.And then the wines, Rose! A huge selectionof demi-litre carafes of the finest Californianand French table wines.But Rose, the best thing comes afterdessert and coffee — your check. Completemeals including fresh bread, salad, soup andsometimes wine, start at about $3.But will Rose find her way to Tango? And ifshe doesn’t, who will and why? The owner ofthe restaurant, George Badonsky hascreated an unusual combination of elements.By pooling the talents of a chef, an architect,an interior designer and graphic designer, hehas produced a zingy classicism. Tango will have the feel of a small seasideMediterranean cafe but none of thepretentiousness of the "classy joint” whereyou feel too intimidated to mention that youhave just found three strands of yourwaitress’ hair floating in your soup.The future of Tango will be interesting tofollow. At the formal opening around AugustBy MARK GRUENBERG"A man is known by his enemies,”commented D J R Bruckner, vice-president for public affairs at the University,when he learned that he was one of a numberof journalists named on the so-called“enemies” list compiled by White Houseaides.Bruckner’s name popped up along withmany others when former White Housecounsel John Dean III released the list aspart of his testimony on the Watergate affair.Bruckner apparently made the listbecause of columns he wrote for the LosAngeles Times before he joined theUniversity in October 1972. "I was pleased tobe on the list, and I suppose being at theirhome base I annoyed the hell out of them.”he chuckled."I had a very widely published column thatwent at the top of the LA Times-WashingtonPost wire The trend of my thoughtwas not in their direction."Thinking of what kinds of people they (theWhite House aides) are,” commentedBruckner, "I can think of a couple ofcolumns that could get them upset, such asone explaining why there ought to be arevolution. Also, I was the first of thenational columnists to campaign for totalamnesty — in 1968-69."But I do not know what their thinkingis ... I can’t give any reason why I was on 1st, Lee Balterman, the Life staffphotographer will be there to photograph theunusual combination of press people,socialites, artists and Chicago superstarsinvited to attend the first big night at Tango.But after that, who will come backregularly? Rose? You? Me?How will Tango’s garden grow?the list. I was dumbfounded to find they had alist like that,” he noted.However, Bruckner found priorjustification for such efforts. "They makefools of themselves like this. But thenPresidents have done this for so long,” thathe was not surprised. He cited as pasthistorical precedents tirades against editorsby Thomas Jefferson "who would then crossthe street every night and help the journaleditor lay out the paper” and an incidentwhere John Adams threw an editor in jailunder the Alien and Sedition acts. The editor,Bruckner added, also happened to be acongressman.Noting that most of the newsmen on the listwere columnists, Bruckner noted, "Theymust have been awfully up tight aboutopinion and that seems peculiar to me,because it shows that they must believe inmanipulation of some sort. You would becrazy, in columns, to think that you areforming people's opinions. But they mustthink so., it’s weird"If they were going to make up a list likethat,” Bruckner continued, "I was terriblyannoyed that they did not put cartoonists onit — Herblock, Fischetti and others. I sentcondolences to John Conrad when he didn’tmake the list.”In conclusion, Bruckner commented, "Abunch of boobs like this who make a hate listwere setting themselves up to be laughedat.”1A bunch of boobs' createdNixon enemy list- BrucknerSOQ presents a Wednesday evening concertRufus kriSPProgressive Colorado Bluegrasswith"Roto Rooter” Anderson "Earthquake” Brownlee"Babyface Braunschweiger” Gemelle "Dakota Hogback” Holleand "Prune Danish” LepineStars of Stage, Screen, Radio, and TV in a return engagementof mandolin, banjo, guitar, drums, fiddle, jugs, spoons, wash¬board and, if requested, maybe "Myron" the accordion.Wednesday, July 11th7 PM Hitchcock CourtFREEr*4-The Chicago Maroon, Thursday, July 5, 1973Comedians do not a comedy makeCASH: Criminals make their escape in a scene from Claude Lelouch's MONEY,By AARON LIPSTADTAn initial question to ask when consideringa comedy is that of the basic premise whichmakes it funny: is it the characters, thesituation, the way the former regard thelatter? In Money, Money, Money, writer/ di¬rector Claude Lelouch tries everything —funny characters, unlikely plots,“sophisticated" political humor and bang-updriving — in his newest attempt at a comedy.On the surface he deals with five crooksdriven only by greed, but presented in anopening court sequence as political prisonersfighting society. To this he adds a jumbledseries of comic gags and stunts.Lelouch starts with five funny men whoshow that they are capable of good comedyperformances. These men play small timecrooks who decide, in the early ’70’s, thatpolitics is the way to make money —criminally, of course. Led by Simon (CharlesDenner), they engage in a five day intensivecourse in current politics. Simon brings in aseries of “political experts” who explain theinternational situation, and when the five aresufficiently confused, he judges them readyto begin their political careers.They launch their venture with thekidnapping of American emigre singingsensation Johnny Hallyday (superblyportrayed by American emigre actor JohnnyHallyday). With the resources that thisbrings, they begin politicizing in earnest —flying to Latin America to kidnap anambassador, ! s safe release pending therelease of thirty political prisoners. Theprofit end of the deal :s disclosed later whenthe five are shown d Handing their fee forthe job from a South Americanrevolutionary, Ernesto Juarez (Jean LouisBunuel). When he refuses, they kidnap andransom him (to three different groups: hisown, the local police, and the CIA) and moveon to a hijacking, again successful. Aftervarious legal and political intrigues, theylaunch their biggest job. Not to give away theending, let it only be known that the ransominvolves one franc from every Catholic in theworld.One of the most frustrating things aboutthe film is that it is clear that these five mencan be very funny, but don’t really get thechance to do it except in isolated vignettes.In his earlier work, notably A Man and aWoman and L’K^mme qui me plait. Lelouchhas dealt with a limited number (generally MONEY, MONEY.two) characters in very controlledsituations. Here it seems that bothcharacters and situations get out of hand.The actors don’t distinguish themselves, thecharacters don’t have any charm orpersonality as individuals. They work only asa bungling team who seem hopelessly unableto get anything done. It is never really clearhow they carry off any intrigues. Noplanning or synchronization is displayed, noattempts at secrecy, and if what one sees isany judge, they would be captured at any oneof several points in each escapade. Nor isthere any evidence of the bumbling kind ofluck that graced, say, the Marx Brothers. Allthe audience sees is a series of very majorcrimes committed by a group of men notablefor prankishness, greed, and small timecrime (as well as, as their prosecutor notes,IQ’s far below average).Their large number seems not only tomake their success unlikely, but also makesit impossible to develop any characters or even characteristics. Opening sequencesreveal the criminally humble beginnings ofeach of them; these are confusing and offerlittle insight (but some good gags). Later,two or three more or less get assigned roles— Aldo, the “dumb one,” repeatedly cookspasta in a complete kitchen he carries in hissuitcase — but these are very incomplete.Only in isolated instances do thesecharacters work well either as a group or asindividuals. No consistent group relationshipis maintained; on the other hand, noconsistent identities are created.Besides this, much of the basic concept forthe film, as well as several comic devices,are tired or predictable. The idea of spoofingpolitical crimes like hijacking andkidnapping is certainly not original, nor is itapproached in an original manner. There is arather boring sequence at a prostitute’sorganizing rally, as well as an inane airportdemonstration when the five “politicalprisoners” receive asylum in Africa. This in itself is not crippling. However, about halfthe time available is poorly used on tiredsituations: a too-long scene filled withcloseups of the five of them (plus thekidnapped ambassador) eating spaghetti, aneven longer sequence in which Lino andChariot attempt to deliver a ransommessage in New York when neither of themspeak English, and a liberal mixture ofhijacking and dumb guy jokes. And those ofyou familiar with French “rock” music canimagine Lelouch’s groovy handling of aJohnny Hallyday concert (part of the deal toget him in the film'’).The film is not a total loss, however. Wherethey can come through by themselves, one isaware that the talent needed for a funny filmis there. Jacques Brel looks good on film,exhibiting an attractive toothy ungainless-ness. Charles Denner, lately seen as Arthurthe exterminator in Truffaut’s Such AGorgeous Kid Like Me, is a little constrainedby his role as the leading political mind, butmanages to ooze out. They even succeed inworking well as a group, at least a couple oftimes. Lounging on a Caribbean beach, Aldodecides to practice “walking for girls,” asLino (these are the two Italians of the group)has taught him They all join in, rehearse fora while, and try it out in front of four tannedsun-bathers. The camera is low on the beachbehind the women, and the five take turnswalking for girls knee deep in the surf. Withtheir odd collection of builds, hats, and printcabana sets, for the most part on spindly palelegs, they look like a parade of extinct sea¬going ostriches. The scene is almost matchedlater in the film when they are captured byErnesto, who plans to torture them until hegets the number of their Swiss bank accountHe tortures one at a time while the other fourlook on and place bets on whether the fifthwill talk. All else failed. Ernesto holds a gunto the head of their pet dog (cf The NationalLampoon). They talk.Unfortunately for Lelouch, isolated scenesdo not a film make. This one is toofragmented, confused, and unoriginal to bemore than sporadically amusing.Previously, Lelouch has been somewhatsuccessful, when using less than sparklingscripts, to fall back on the attractiveness andtalent of his actors and actresses. In Money,Money. Money, this possibility is destroyedby the large number of leads and thejumbling of events.Segal and Jackson resurrect the riotous affairBy MARK AND MARLIE WASSERMANA Touch of Class is a very funny movie.Why do we think it is funny? Because welaughed uproariously through most of it. Sodid the rest of the audience. It is not a goodmovie for the reason some will give — that itheralds the return of the long-missedromantic comedy — but because it is anexample of that form at its best. Acombination of the trite, the unexpected, thesad, and the slapstick results in some verygood fun.From the start the movie has muchworking against it. The situation is trite. Aphilandering husband, insurance executiveSteve Blackburn (George Segal) and adivorcee, dress designer Vicki Allessio(Glenda Jackson) meet, have an affair, andthen try to cope w > the difficulties the affairproduces for eacn of them. The opening istrite. As in so many movies the camerasweeps down over the setting, in this case London, with birds-eye shots of the Thamesand its bridges. The way the couple meet istrite. Three chance meetings cement theiracquaintance. We even had our initial doubtsabout the dialog when Steve Blackburn takesVicki Allessio to tea and orders “Tea fortwo.” But the stereotypes and cliches quicklygave way to the unexpected. When Georgeproposes what Vicki labels a “quickie,”Vicki unexpectedly responds, “What the hell,a girl has to eat.”We won’t give you any more examplesbecause the unexpected should remain theunexpected. It is enough to say that the plotand the dialog continue to provide onesurprise after another, in quick suc¬cession. Often the viewer is preparedfor the plot to take a particular hu¬morous course, but the situation shiftsso that the action is even more hu¬morous than expected while the view¬ er is caught off guard.Glenda Jackson’s performance in her firstcomedy is superb. She combines the fineacting of Sunday, Bloody Sunday, with thedepth of emotion she portrayed as QueenElizabeth on WTTW. Trait by trait she is notattractive, but as a whole we both agreeshe’s terrific. George Segal is as delightful ashe was in Where’s Popa? (We thought thatmovie was also a riot, so if it put you to sleep,do not read on.) You cannot help butsympathize with Segal’s cute tantrums andbewildered look of frustration. He andGlenda Jackson succeed in creating multi¬dimensional characters, no meanaccomplishment in comedy. Steve is a self-centered, egotistical bore, yet he cries at aT.V. movie and spontaneously brings Vickiflowers after a difficult afternoon. Vicki is ascreaming businesswoman in the brutal“rag trade” (ladies’ fashions, for theuninitiated), yet she tries to hide her disappointment when Steve is unable tospend enough time with herOur only irritation with the movie is theresult of the title which led us to expect acommentary on social classes and manners.A Touch of Class, like so many comedies,focuses exclusively on the moneyed uppermiddle class. Vicki and George vacation inMalaga and redecorate a Soho flat without asecond thought. Since no attempt is made inthe movie to comment one way or the otheron their wealth, the title is misleading. Evenif class is to mean style rather than socialstratification, the title adds little to themovie. It is the sort of title that could applyequally well to a dozen movies.If you can afford three bucks apiece, werecommend this movie. For one thing, it willget you out of Hyde Park, into the wild worldof the Rush Street Carnegie. Also, everybodyneeds a good laugh, even an intellectual.Tuesday SOQ presents July 10tha most unusual filmTHE DEATH OF THE APEThe Tarzan legend turned into a block comedy about the selfishness MANand brutality of modern civilization. A Czech film directed by Javoslav Balik.Cobb 7:15 only $1.00Thursday, June 21,1973-The Chicago Maroon-5Union claims 90% success,officials disagree\ continued from page onei University to deal with union litigation, saidi “There was a complete absence of unlawful► motivation. I am confident that thei University will be exonerated by the NLRB.”► The Lab School picketers were joined► during the one-day strike by Library unionI members, representatives of the History► Students Association, student, faculty, and’ staff sympathizers, and strikers from1 Woodlawn Hospital. The union’s claim that' the strike was 90 per cent effective in keeping’ Library employees from their jobs seemed tobe borne out by the fact that only threeemployees were on duty in the Law Library.1 documents librarian, and said that thelibrary, because of its actions, is “unfit to bea repository of government documents.”Wilson, in an effort to investigate libraryproblems on a intra-University level,appointed a committee on June 27 to reportdirectly to him on library matters. Membersof the committee arc Jonathan Smith,associate professor in the Divinity School,Thomas Whislcr. prefessor in the graduateschool of Business and Chairman of theBoard of the library, and Dr Ronald Singer,professor of Anatomy and Anthropology. Increating the committee, Wilson cast somedoubts about any far-reaching conclusions itmight reach when he stated “I shouldperhaps also state that the committee is notacting for the Board of the library nor in lieuof it. and thus is not concerned with settingnew policies or changing existing policies.” Further doubts concerning theeffectiveness and objectivity of Wilson’scommittee were raised when it wasdiscovered that Smith, Whisler, and Singerare all members of the Library Board, andhelped prepare the Board’s report of June 11.Wilson did say, however, that thecommittee would investigate “whether theelimination of professional positions wasbased on considerations not related to thepolicies of the Board of the Library, ie, unionorganizing activities of the incumbants ofthose positions.”In addition to his statement on thecommittee, Wilson also released two sets ofdocuments. The first, released on June 15,the day of the dismissals, was in anticipationof protests arising from the lay-offs, andcontained the report of the Library Board ofJune 11. The report outlines the Board’spriorities under a “restricted budget,” andconcludes that the level of book anddocument acquisition should be maintainedin order to maintain the “high quality of theUniversity library.” The report also statesthat “The board of the library recognizesthat the implimentation of these prioritiesmay require that the level of staffing bereduced to preserve acquisition levels andthat some desirable services may need to becurtained.”Wilson released a second set of documentson June 26. Included were the minutes of theLibrary staff meeting on June 15, when theterminations were announced, and a copy ofthe form letter sent to the dismissed employees. The minutes of the meetingoutlined the 1972-73 Library budget, and saidthat “It is clear that an increase of $52,000,will not provide sufficient funds to maintaincurrent budget levels and that a reduction insome budget categories is mandatory.”McElderry, in response to protests overthe firings, said on June 26, “The sudden lossin support of approximately a quarter of amillion dollars from federal and foundationgrants in the face of both dollar devaluationand continuing inflation, forced a careful re¬examination of library priorities.”He also charged that the June 21 Maroonarticle was “in part inaccurate andmisleading and in conflict with the Board’sstatement.” When questioned about this,McElderry replied; “The artcle didn’t givethe longer-term aspects of the problem. Thiscrisis is the culmination of a long series offinancial woes faced by the University. Wenow have a total expenditure increase of fourper cent per year. To maintain currentservices and staff, we need an increase of atleast eight and a half per cent.”Coatswo’th, however, disagreed, andcharged that professed University budgetaryconcerns were only a smokescreen for thedestruction of the library union. “I attendedthe American Library Associationconvention,” she said, “and was told by thebudget director of a university library aboutthe size of ours that the money the Universityof Chicago saved by dismissing us was a dropin the bucket. The total University librarybudget is over $4 million, while the money saved by the University by firing us is only$70,000. Each of us received three monthsseverance pay, so the library is actually onlysaving nine months of fiscal year salaries forthe six of us.”Coatsworth also said that the concensus ofmost of the people she talked to at the ALAconvention was that “this is not the way inwhich most libraries are facing anyproblems, and that these actions put theUniversity library out of the mainstream ofmost libraries.”The Library also finds itself faced withcharges of intimidation and harassment ofpicketers during the strike. One libraryemployee, who asked that his name not beused for fear of reprisals, said “On themorning of the picket line, I saw severaladministrators from inside the library,including (deputy library director Stanley)Gwynn, come outside and tell people thatthey had nothing to fear by crossing thepicket line, and that they should ignore thesetroublemakers and come to work. I recallGwynn saying that employees ought to cometo work.”The next day, according to the employee, awoman employee of the library wasthreatened and harassed by administrativepersonnel because she took part in the picketline, and was told that “the library has a list,and you are on it.”McElderry refused to comment on thesecharges, saying “It would be improper forme to say anything, since there is litigationpending in the matter.”Levine leads concert of contrasts at RaviniaBy TOBY LOU HOFSLUNDOpening night at Ravinia was a night ofcontrasts -bermuda shorts to black tie,catered dining to casual box lunch. Althoughclouds on high never did clear, that summerevening was filled with the sparkle and shineof a gala performanceFrom the first festive fanfare calling theaudience to their seats-no commonplacechimes or bells would do here-to the final“Amen” of Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis, anenrapt audience of young and old watchedand listened as Ravinia s new music directorJames Levine, the Chicago SymphonyOrchestra and Chorus and soloistsemphasized the drama in Beethoven’smasterful work with a performance that wasvibrant, often precise, and always exciting.Throughout Levine’s interpretationcontrasts continued to prevail but withvarying degrees of success. Suddenexplosions framed moments of peace andquiet supplication. Softs were very soft andlouds were limitless. And the results? Aneffective statement of power and prayer.Levine's often extreme tempos addedvitality to the fast sections. The Gloria andparts of the Credo whipped along at almostunmusical speeds The Agnus Dei, althoughslower than usual, established the rightmeditative moodOn the whole, orchestra and chorus stayed right with Levine most of the time. However,even Margaret Hillis’ superb ensemble couldnot always keep up and opted for notesrathcrthandiction. Consequently, the majestyand elegance of the Kyrie and Sanctus lostout to a strong dramatic impact. Also, theconclusion of the Gloria seemed more like anaudience pleaser than a strong statement ofexultation.The Symphony Chorus performed as thedisciplined ensemble we have come toexpect. Precise and blended, men andwomen responded to Levine’s everydirection. Sopranos emphasized anespecially brilliant tonal quality which neverlost focus in the high tessitura.The same could not be said for sopranoMarion Lippert who sang all around the noteswith an unpleasant sound. The othermembers of the quartet, mezzo-sopranoMignon Dunn, tenor Seth McCoy, and bassPaul Plishka, sang accurately and withproper expression. Especially impressivewas Paul Plishka's resonant solo in theAgnus Dei, which showed him to be a masterof sustained singing.Throughout the summer the RaviniaFestival provides an opportunity to hear avariety of programs for every musical taste.July brings concerts featuring Beverly Hills,Itznak Perlman, the original BennyGoodman Quartet, Peter Nero, Ferrante and Tcicher and many more.

The mall would bepart of plans he has for fostering studentunity and sense of community.“The University needs to spend a lot moremoney to bring students to classes,” he says.“For one thing, the only way people knoweach other now is through classes.” Hefavors that the money be spent on ReynoldsClub “as a natural gathering place” in orderto turn it into a student union.The mall on University avenue wouldapparently be apart of the plan.“There should be a place where allstudents can get together.

He admits thathe has much research to do about ongoingUniversity affairs, always a prime concernof the office. As for current issues, he feelsthe dispute between the library and the unionover dismissals is “unfortunate”.As part of the present role of the office,Yovovich feels that the visibility of theombudsman needs to be increased, in view ofthe lack of complaints which came to theoffice last year. “This is a place where thestudent who feels he is wronged, or finds anunfair policy which needs adjustment, canBudgetRent a Capj Coupon Coupon$100 off per dayj on rental of any intermediate or full size car,| Mon.thru Thur.; Offer good thru July 31, 1973j One coupon per rental.IBudget of Hyde Parki 5508 S.

If you are looking for an evening ofbetter-than-average cocktail lounge jazz,pregnant with emotion and arpeggios, this isyour man; if your idea of the medium is theminimally-romanticized music to be had atJoe Segal’s Jazz Showcase, you’re better offgoing straight to 901 North Rush.My own taste runs more toward the latter ;perhaps it is the incipient emotional sterilityof the Life of the Mind that makes me cringein my chair when I hear tremulous, angst-filled harmonies suitable for a remake ofLove is a Many-Splendored Thing (by theway, Monty Alexander is not a bad substitutefor William Holden). Nevertheless, if you goto London House looking precisely for thissort of lushly-smothering evening, you willnot be disappointed.There is no question that Alexander iscompletely at home with his instrument. Histechnique is most impressive and his ace-in-the-hole is a refreshing inventiveness andenergetic creativity. He seems to follow astandard formula for presenting the works in the set — an opening with a simple statementof the melody, combined with harmonies forwhich he has a very good ear. The popexposition leads to a smooth transition to a“real” jazz variation, and a final restate¬ment of the original melodic strains. It is theA-B-A form, along with his chordal techniquethat reflects Alexander’s serious training inclassical music.Making the club rounds to promote theirnewest MPS album, We’ve Only Just Begun,the trio naturally began with that piece.Alexander began demonstrating hisinventiveness almost immediately, using theinteresting technique of plucking the pianostrings with his right hand while continuingthe bass keyboard accompaniment with hisleft. At first, it was a novelty, but when thesame shtick ran through all of the set exceptfor the last two numbers, Alexander began totake on qualities of the showoff. Ah, thefoibles of youth!In fact, the heavy dependence on string-plucking, arpeggios and an andante timingmade the showcase number, the theme fromthe Summer of 42, the greatestdisappointment of the set. Pictures ofthunderstorms, soap operas, and Liberacekept running through my mind during what could have been an exciting piece if some ofthe frills were lopped off.Alexander ran into the same overkillproblem later on. By putting his tambourineon the piano strings for the theme fromShaft, he achieved a harpsichord effect thatwas striking at first, and would haveremained so if it had stayed a one-shot deal.Repetition of the technique lessened theeffectiveness, however, so that by the end ofthe set, I was asking myself why he didn’tsimply move a harpsichord on stage and getit over with.The set closed with “Yellow Bird,” a piecealmost expected of a musician withAlexander’s Jamaican origins. In fact,“mini-calypso” was subtly presentthroughout the show, both in Alexander’srhythms and those of his drummer, MarshallThompson, who utilized the calypsotechnique by removing the snares from hisdrums, resulting in a hard sound like a bongobeat.Both sidemen deserve recognition,particularly bassist Senator Eugene J.Wright. Wright let loose on a bass solo thatwas sine qua non — jazz-playing at its best,revealing a remarkable sense of pitch.These criticisms are not meant to reflect a wholly-negative attitude toward MontyAlexander. He has come a long way in hisless than thirty years. A native of Kingston,Jamaica, he began studying piano at the ageof four, and led a Jamaican-oriented “mini¬band” at eleven. He discovered jazz bylistening to Louis Armstrong and Nat KingCole, and went to Miami in 1961 to study theAmerican idiom. After playing a round ofsmall Miami clubs, he joined Art Mooney’sbig band, which led to engagements in NewYork. Since then, he has a total of eightalbums to his credit and has played at theMonterey Jazz Festival, New York’s VillageGate and Riverboat, Washington’s BluesAlley, and Shelly’s Manne-Hole.A jazz purist might find fault with thisyoung upstart. According to Eddie Harris’definition of jazz, any piece where themelody is recognizable is only jazzed-up pop.At first, it sounds as though this is exactlywhat Monty Alexander is playing. Once hegets into his music, however, the syncopationand improvisation that mark true jazz areevident. Monty Alexander has a greatpotential as a jazz pianist, but he is stillyoung and in the process of solidifying hisown style. But as the title of his newestalbum says. We’ve Only Just Begun.ABOUT THE MIDWAYIC schedule changeAccording to the office of AldermanDespres, the schedule changes instituted bythe Illinois Central (IC) railroad last Sundayhave a “damaging” effect on service to HydePark.The alderman’s office says that ananonymous caller told them that rush hourservice will be less frequent and that middayservice on the IC will be “cut in half.”According to the informant, “SouthChicago service, which now runs every 20minutes, will be changed to every 30minutes. Blue Island and Richton Parktrains will not stop north of 63rd street... Afew Blue Island and Richton trains will stopat 53rd street during the rush hour.”As for the rush hour itself, the informanttold the alderman’s office that service“would be cut.”“Northbound trains will leave 53rd streetin the morning,” said the informant, “at7:07,7:24,7:36,7:54, 8:09, 8:25, 8:39 and 9:06,et cetera. Note the 27 minute wait between8:39 and 9:06.“Southbound trains which stop at 53rdstreet,” he continued, “will be leavingRandolph at 4 pm, 4:35, 4:46, 4:55, etc. Notethe 35 minute wait between 4 and 4:35 pm.”Sharon Jeffries, co-director of the HydePark - Kenwood Community Conference,said that the conference had taken someaction. “We sent letters to the IllinoisCommerce Commission requesting hearingson the situation and we are requesting thatresidents of the community also do the samething.”“We would encourage anybody to start apetition campaign,” she added. “If someonewants to come in and volunteer, fine. Ourstaff is too small to start one.”GiuliniCarlo Maria Giulini, principal guestconductor of the Chicago SymphonyOrchestra, has been named chief conductorof the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. Theappointment is effective this autumn.A spokesperson for the Chicago Symphonyhastened to say, however, that Giulini’s newpost would not mean Chicago loses him.“That position will occupy six weeks of theFridayCobb Hall year for him,” the spokesperson commented.“He will not have any administrativefunctions in Vienna, and it will not affect hisrelationship with the Chicago Symphony.”Also, she added, “The appointment will notaffect the length of time he conducts theChicago Symphony.”Giulini, who has been principal guestconductor of the Chicago Symphony since1969, replaces Wolfgang Sawallisch.Sawallisch left the Vienna Symphony tobecome general music director of theMunich (W Germany) State Opera.Court theaterThe Court Theatre will open its 19th seasonon campus July 6 with a performance ofMedea, by Euripides, translated anddirected by Nicholas Rudall, director of theUniversity Theatre.Curtain time for all Court Theatreproductions will be 8:30 pm.
