Vol. 86, No. 33 The University ot Cmcago • Friday, February 4,1977Wilson: “not a public man”Wilson: "I don't feel it’s necessary for mete answer the ofthe general public, or of the campus community for that matter.”(Photo by Philip Grew)By PETER COHNPresident John Wilson Wed¬nesday asserted that he intendsto remain a private figure notopen to questioning by thecampus community, with theexception of his quarterly pressconference with The Maroon andradio station WHPK.“I am not a public figure,”Wilson said. “I don’t feel itnecessary to answer to thequestions of the general public, orof the campus community, forthat matter.”Speaking at his winter pressconference, Wilson defended theexclusion of the Chicago Journal,and the exclusion last quarter ofThe Red Gargoyle, from theinterview.He said that studentpublications with coverage thatextends beyond the campus arenot eligible to attend the con¬ference.“It’s a means of com¬munication to the Universitycommunity, strictly speaking,”he said.Wilson sought to define hisperception of the public role ofthe president. When asked whyhis accessibility to the press ismore limited than that of otheruniversity presidents, he said“Maybe they have more to talkabout.”“It may reflect on me and itmay reflect on my perceptionthat I don’t think the president isthere to hold daily news con¬ferences,” he said. “I suppose Iam a much lower key presidentthat a lot of presidents are and Idon’t make public pronoun¬cements as frequently and on asmany things as some of mycolleagues in the Ivy leagues.”“I don’t know who listens to thepublic pronouncements theymake,” he added, “but if theywant to make them, that’s allright.”“Most of the action at thisuniversity is going on in theacademic areas,” he said. “It isn’t as though all sorts ofdecisions are being made dailythat have to be communicated tothe general public.”Wilson responded to a questionabout communication betweenthe faculty and the ad¬ministration with a generalremark, saying that “no in¬stitution is ever satisfied with thechannels of communication.”He pointed out that his effortsto inform the faculty, through thestate of the University addressand the annual budget memohave met with a disinterestedresponse from the faculty.Referring to the state of theUniversity address, he remarkedthat “If more than 75 facultyshow up, I’m always flattered.”He added that “If more thananother 75 read it, I would beterribly surprised, but yet youwill hear complaints aboutcommunication.”He also said that he would be “flattered” if 20 percent of thefaculty read the budget memo,adding “And yet I hear all sortsof misinformation about thebudget being talked about.”“Presidents of the Universityhave from time to time saidmany things to the faculty,” hesaid, “and sometimes youwonder what’s happening to themessage.”Wilson declined to answerquestions about the the Browderminority report, a documenthighly critical of the Universityadministration authored by thechairman of the mathematicsdepartment who is member of theCommittee of the FacultyCouncil.“Matters of the Committee ofthe Council are really con¬fidential and are not subject todiscussion in public,” he said.Wilson to 2Wilson press conference textEditor's note: The following is an editedtranscript of President John T. Wilson'swinter interview with The Maroon andWHPK FM, the campus radio station. Inthe portion of the interview relating toWilson's public profile, Wilson andreporters made mention of a letter fromThe Maroon on that subject. The letter,sent to Wilson Monday from the editor ofthe Maroon, complained to the Presidentof the problems in coverage that haveresulted from his inaccessability to thepress.Q: I’d like to start off by asking about anissue which was raised recently at thefaculty council by the chairman of themathematics department, Mr. Browder.He raised several issues which havebecome from what 1 understand the topicof debate throughout the universitycommunity, at least throughout the facultyand perhaps through the administration.I’d like to raise some of the issues he didand ask for your...W: You’ve been around long enough toknow the rules of Committee of Council. Matters in the Committee of Council areconfidential and not subject for discussionin public.Q : Well I think that the issues he raised arecertainly matters...we can take the issuesthan... not necessarily the specifics...W: It would be very difficult to separatethe issues from report, which is as youknow, where it is...Q: The Committee of Council.W: Yes. And matters of the Committee ofCouncil are confidential and not subject topublic discussion.Q: Would you say that the question ofwhether or not the university is faculty runor administration run is a confidentialmatter that could not be discussed here, orcan we raise that as an issue since thatprobably was the theme of his remarksand also the theme of other people’sremarks to myself and to other peoplethroughout the community.Conference to 3 Browder to Council:faculty losing gripon University powerBy DAVID BLUMAssailing what he called theadministration’s “absurdistphilosophy”, mathematicsdepartment chairman Felix E.Browder charged high Universityofficials with extending theirdomain far beyond traditionallimits in a heated statement tothe Faculty Council three weeksago.The text of the Browder report isreprinted on page five.The speech, presented as aminority report before the 51-member governing body, has setinto motion an investigation bythe Committee of the Council —the seven-member executivepanel of the Council itself —unprecedented in recent Councilhistory.“We are moving,” saidBrowder’s report, “from afaculty-run University to aMultiversity dominated by aspecial administrative castewithout real responsibility to thefaculty.” The report was con¬tained in the confidential minutesof the January 11 meeting of theFaculty Council obtained by TheMaroon.Browder’s charges•Browder told the Council thathe had been informed that hewould “have to cancel 32 sectionsof first year College mathematics courses serving more than 600students.” He labelled the“decision” an “absurdity,” anddirected harsh words at ProvostD. Gale Johnson, where he saidhe believed the “decision” hadoriginated.• Several departmentalrecommendations for academicappointments “of outstandingquality”, according to Browder,were turned down by Wilson.They were told, said Browder,“that whatever their academicvirtues might be, no such ap¬pointments would be made unlessthe academic units independentlyraised funds to endow theseappointments.”•He referred to a letter writtento Wilson by Paul B. Moore,professor of geophysics and amember of the Faculty Council,in which Moore protested thefiring of the director of theAlumni Association and editor ofthe University of ChicagoMagazine by vice-president forpublic affairs D. J. R. Bruckner.Browder paraphrased Wilson'sresponse: “Decisions made in theproper administrative channelsare not subject to discussion orcriticism by the faculty.•Browder also reported thatEasley Blackwood, professor ofmusic and spokesman for theCollege Council, wrote a similarletter to Wilson decrying theBrowder to 2Shoreland residents citelimited safety precautionsBy DAN WISETwo small fires, occurring aweek apart late last month, haveprompted concern amongShoreland hotel residents overthe fire safety equipment of thebuilding.However, with the exception ofsome missing exit lights in thelobby, fire prevention bureauofficials say the building is incompliance with the fire code.Over 100 residents, in ameeting held last Monday withEdward Turkington, director ofstudent housing, questioned thelack of a general fire alarmsystem, sprinklers, and back-uplights for staircases andcorridors.Turkington agreed to arrange ameeting with representatives ofthe students with fire officialsand building management per¬sonnel to clarify the situation."There is a great deal ofmisunderstanding about whatinstitutes good fire safety,” Turkington said.For example, in fire-proofbuildings as large as the 13 storyShoreland, total evacuation isunfeasible, he said. Fire officialsconfirmed this, and added thatgeneral fire alarm systems arenot required in hotels, but only inschools, hospitals, and otherpublic buildings.The fires were confined toboxes stored on the 14th floor(which is ironically enough,actually, the 13th story), whichcontains a storage area andhousekeeping staff roomsPlumbing problemsAnother problem plaguingsome Shoreland residents is notfire, but water problems. Twoplumbers are working full-time,replacing old pipes, some ofwhich have burst as a result ofthe frigid weather. Turkingtonestimated that 20-30 studentshave been affected by lack ofwater at various times whileplumbers repair the plumbing.InsideOpinion, p. 4 Browder Report, p. 5JLJvjtfj, p. /Wilson from 1Other topics discussed at the conferenceranged from the Harper fellows programto the Campaign for Chicago. He madecomments on the following issues:•When asked to list his major ac¬complishments since taking office inDecember, 1975, he pointed to theachievement of a balanced budget, facultyacquisitions throughout the University,particularly in major departments of themedical school; increased fundingreimbursements from the state for themedical center; and improvements in thequality of care in the hospital’s emergencyroom.•On the question of non-tenured ap¬pointments at the associate professorlevel, Wilson said “I don’t have any per¬sonal feeling on that.” He said that thebusiness school policy of only tenured fullprofessors ‘‘seems to be working” anddescribed the general proposal as “anoutgrowth of a budgetary problem.”•Wilson said that the Harper fellowsprogram in the College “will certainly becontinued.” He said that he had originallyconceived of the program as similar to theBigelow fellows in the law school, in whichthe fellows act as assistants to faculty inindividual courses. He remarked that theprogram has diverged from his originalconception with Harper fellows assumingfull faculty responsibility for un¬dergraduate courses. “This is where I partpaths with the College,” he said.•Commenting on the HEW complaint filedby law students asking for an investigationof the all-white, all-male law schoolfaculty, Wilson said that “From their pointof view, they certainly have the evidenceon their side.” The question is, he said, “iswhether or not the law school has made theeffort to recruit.”•A change in the approach of theUniversity’s fund raising was described byWilson. “There should have been asharper question as to the validity of theCampaign for Chicago,” Wilson said. Heindicated that fund raising efforts are nowtrying to secure “an ongoing basis ofsupport” for the University. Browder from 1decision of William B. Cannon, vice-president for business and finance, to takeover space in the Wieboldt reading room ofHarper library for the Committee onpublic policy studies. Browder saidWilson’s response was “the same. ”Browder was unavailable for commentWednesday or Thursday on his statementsbefore the council. He reportedly suffersfrom sciatica — a neurological conditionresulting in pain along the leg, where thesciatic nerve is located — and could notelaborate on his earlier remarks.However, interviews with the principalfigures in the specific issues raised byBrowder formed a picture somewhatdifferent than the overall image left byBrowder’s original document. While someof his claims were accurate, the overallstatement refects several factual inac¬curacies.Cuts in College MathIn the report, Browder claimed that hereceived a memo informing him that 32sections of College mathematics classeswould be cancelled during the springquarter due to lack of funds.But most participants in the discussionsconcerning the College math programconcede that Browder highly exaggeratedthe seriousness of the situation. Thememorandum to which Browder referredwas sent by Leon Stock, master of thephysical sciences collegiate division, toWilliam Meyer, associate chairman of themath department. It was a written recordof a telephone conversation concerning thedifficulty in funding the lecturer positionsfor the college math courses.“You will recall that we discussed thefact that there were only 19 appointmentspossible under the budget of the PSCD...“My budget register now shows anenormous ‘overdraft’ and something willsoon have to be done about it. Pleasediscuss the matter with Mr. Browder andgive me a call on Monday.“Based on conversations with Dean(Charles) Oxnard, I sincerely doubt thatthe College will be able to pick up the tab for these people. ”Stock said yesterday that the memo wasonly intended to stimulate discussion of thesituation, and not to indicate anypossibility, to either Browder or Meyer,that the classes would be cancelled.“The problem will be solved,” Stocksaid. “I am fully confident that the fundingwill come from somewhere to keep thoseclasses going.” Meyer agreed, but wouldnot characterize Browder’s charges aswholly inaccurate.“I think the problems he drew attentionto were valid,” Meyer said. “I’m gladthey’ve come up.”Stock claimed that Browder and Meyercancelled an appointment set up forJanuary 10, the day before Browder’sappearance before the Council, to discussthe memo. He said he had arranged tomeet Meyer in the lobby of the QuadrangleClub at lunchtime that day, and said thetwo of them had planned to go toBrowder’s home for a discussion of thematter.“I waited until around two, and then Icalled Meyer. He was in his office. Mysecretary told me that Browder had calledmy office in the meantime, saying that he‘didn’t want to bother me’,” Stock said.Both Stock and Meyer said vesterdavthat there was nothing “sinister” aboutthe cancellation of their Monday Meet¬ing. However, neither would deny that ameetmg Between Stock and Browder atthat time might have prevented Browderfrom making the charges contained in hisminority report.Crerar Library FundingBrowder also charged that theUniversity had adopted a “casual” at¬titude toward the financing of a buildingfor Crerar Library, a prestigious scientificcollection, while holding the line in otherareas. Herman Fussier, distinguishedservice professor in the library school anda member of the committee appointed toconsider the possible Crerar Library af¬filiation, denied Browder’s claim.“We’re not being casual about it at all,”Fussier said. “In fact, we’re proceedingvery carefully. We’re nowhere near adecision on it yet.” Moore’s letter to WilsonIn a letter to John Wilson dated October25, 1976, Paul Moore, a noted geophysicist,wrote to protest the firings of two ad¬ministrators in the public affairs depart¬ment: Arthur Nayer, director of theAlumni Association and Donald Morris,editor of the University of ChicagoMagazine. Both were fired, with no statedcause, by D.J.R. Bruckner, vice-presidentfor public affairs.In the letter, Moore charged that theabrupt dismissal of the two administratorswas both unwarranted and unfair, andasked for a review of the matter by theadministration. Noting that both men had,in his opinion, made significant positivecontributions to the University, Moore alsoasked why no farewell gathering had beenorganized by the University to recognizetheir achievements.Wilson replied, in a short note, datedNovember 3, 1976, a copy of which wasobtained by The Maroon:“I really don’t know how to respond toyour letter of October 25, 1976. I think it isimproper to talk about personnel actions tothird parties just as it would be to talk to athird party in a tenure case.“With reference to your mention of a‘going away party’, these like memorialservices are entirely grass roots in¬stigated. Evidentally there was an ab¬sence of strong feeling in this regardamong colleagues.”No further discussion of the matter washeld between Wilson and Moore.Browder used the essence of the twoletters as part of his case concerning theadministration’s lack of concern forfaculty input in decision-making. He alsomade reference to a similar correspon¬dence between Easley Blackwood,spokesman of the College Council and awell-known composer and pianist, andWilson. The subject of the letters was Vice-President William Cannon’s decision touse space in Harper Library, the un¬dergraduate library, for a graduateprogram in public policy.Browder to 6A FINE CIGARCOMPIETB TOUR DINNERTREAT YOURSELF J $AND TOUR GUESTSTN!

University752-4381 9:30-4:00 M-F2-The Chicago Maroon Friday, February4,1977Wilson meets the pressConference from 1W: Well perhaps you should just postponethat until we get further along, and maybeyou can pose a question outside the contextof the original question.Q: Well I’m willing to do so right now.Could you comment on the fact that manyfaculty have raised, several to myknowledge directly, have raised thequestion of whether or not in recent yearsthere has been a move away from the kindof faculty run institution that theUniversity of Chicago has always prideditself on being, there of course are severalspecific examples as those raised byBrowder which we don’t have to discuss,but many examples as I’m sure otherpeople have raised...W: David I know I’m tiresome and repeat Ihave no comment on what you were justtalking about.Q: On the general nature of the universityyou have no comment?W: You didn’t keep it general. If you goback and refer to your question...Q: I think one can refer to somethingwithout necessarily dealing with thespecific...W: But you couldn’t obviously.Q: I offered you the opportunity to try toanswer it in general terms.W: I have no comment.WilsonQ: Over the past couple of years you’vebeen president, so far what do you see asyour major accomplishments? And forthis year, 1977, what are your goals?W: Well, I suppose the major ac¬complishment is holding this placetogether, with the kind of budgetary dif¬ficulties we’ve had. No, seriously, therehave been a lot of difficult problems withrespect to the medical area, which I thinkwe’ve gone a long way toward resolving.The overwhelming problem, which manypeople are getting to think is the onlyproblem, has been the budget problem. Ifyou will recall before Mr. Levi left he hadmade a commitment in a memoranda tothe faculty, a commitment to the Trusteesthat we would try to get on a budgetbalance basis in a three year period. Ithink that was essentially what he said. Hecame to that conclusion along with me,when I was provost because we hadreached a point where that year we hadbudgeted a shortfall in the budget of $5.9million, which is frighteningly high. I thinkit was in December of that year he wrote amemorandum to the faculty whichproposed a turn around which would get usonto a balanced budget in a three yearperiod. We are in the third year of thatthree year period and except for the factthat the winter has been unduly harsh, andtherefor set the energy budget into a tailspin, I had high hopes of reaching that andgoing on from there.Q: If we don’t reach it this year, would itbe because of the energy?W: If we don’t reach it this year it in allprobability will be because of that. It’s tooearly, it’s only February. But that is theaspect of the budget that is the most indisarray. The acquisition of appointmentslike Mr. Davidson in Philosophy, despitethe fact that we’ve been operating on avery difficult budget, the acquisition ofother younger faculty in the Humanitiesarea as a result of the Melon FoundationGrant, the acquisition of the Com¬monwealth Grant which allows someexperimentation in the bio-medical area,those all very rewarding things to me, sowhile I emphasize the budgetary point, as Ialso said in the State of the UniversityMessage, I thought this year in starting themessage we would put the budget in theback part of it because it no longer was theprimary point of concern.Q: Can 1 just go back to mention theMedical School briefly, as you’ve said 1think we’ve gone a long way towardsresolving... W: Can I just finish. The effort at gettingsome interaction between the College andthe divisions in terms of teaching has beensomewhat satisfying, although I think wehave not made as much orogress as Iwould have liked to see. Obviously theaward of two Nobel Prizes to facultymembers is something I would hardlyoverlook, although I don’t know that I cantake any credit whatsoever for that, sincethey were both here long before I arrived.So that was pleasurable, and I hope Mr.Levi got some pleasure out of it inWashington seeing it in the paper.Q: For this year... ?W: That all runs in together, because theNobel Prizes came this year and I hopesome of the solutions to the problemswe’ve been wrestling with in the budgetwill come this year too.Harper FellowsQ: In your state of the University addressyou said that the continuation of theHarper Fellows was under consideration.W: At that time it was.Q: What is the present status...?W: The present status is that, so far as Iknow, the College has been told that theywill certainly be continued next year. NowI just read in the College Newsletter, Ithink it was labelled a symposium on theHarper Fellow Program, I got the im¬pression from reading that there was stillsome doubt. Whoever wrote that, atwhatever time I think was probably beforethe decision.Q: I spoke with Mr. Johnson last weekabout the ... the way I interpreted it fromour conversation was that the program hasbeen renewed for a year, that no realdecision has been made as far as how aprogram like that would be budgeted on anindefinite basis.W: That may well be the problem from abudgetary point of view but actually theXBrowder from 2Blackwood refused to commentyesterday on the nature of thecorrespondence, or any specificdiscussions relating to parts of theBrowder report involving him. He testifiedTuesday before the Committee of theCouncil on the matter.“They’re presenting this thing in a semi¬judicial way, but no one knows whatpowers they might have,” Blackwood said.He added that many faculty have tried to“discredit” the report by “focusing onBrowder’s math department charges.”On January 25, in accordance with thestatutes, President Wilson appointed theCommittee of the Council to serve as aCommittee of the whole to investigateBrowder’s charges. Knowledgeablesources said that a decision was made thisweek to form a sub-committee to carry outthe actual investigation.Suzanne Oparil, spokesman for thecommittee, was out of town until Fridayand unavailable for comment on theprocedures being followed by the panel.* “This whole thing might be significant,or it might be utterly trivial,” said EugeneGoldwasser, a professor of biochemistryand a member of the committee of thecouncil. “The best thing at the moment isto continue to studv. There’s a fair amount funding of that program was off the budgetfunding for the first couple of years, andfor this year it will be off the budget. If theCollege recommends it and we canpossibly work it into the budget I am verymuch in favor of having a program ofteaching fellows who can get whatever wehave to offer in the College in theUniversity of Chicago, and go on to otherfour year colleges. That was at least myconception of the program when it started.Q: So you would endorse the principle ofmaintaining it?W: Oh yes. I wrote a memorandum to thedean of the College suggesting theprogram. I think there is some confusion interms of the initial movivation of theHarper Fellow Program. A lot of peopleinterpret it as a short cut to a budgetaryproblem. Well it did serv e a purpose in thatrespect. It seems to me there isjustification for a Harper teaching fellowprogram at a place like the University ofChicago, without having anything to dowith a budgetary issue.Q: Well Mr. Johnson said that the issue is100 percent budget, and that the decisionwill be purely based on the financial stateof the university whether or not...W: He wasn’t talking about the theory ofthe program. I was talking about thetheory of the program.Q: No, I understand that you endorse thetheory. Moving it onto the budget requiresan allocation of funds,...W: That is true. And that means moreunrestricted funds next year, the end ofthat is ’78-’79, and I would hope that we willhave more in ’78-79. The problem in thegeneral budget this year is that we areexperiencing the last three month, the lastquarter of the downturn in the market. Westill have one quarter of downtumedmarket in the formula base. We won’t beout of the experience of the down marketuntil 78-79. You know if you read thebudget message how the total returnoperates. It’s a moving average of the lastof delicacy involved here.”Of the seven faculty members who makeup the committee, only four could bereached for comment on the investigationinto Browder’s charges Sidney Davidson,professor in the graduate school ofbusiness, is on leave for the winterquarter. Ira Wool, a biochemistryprofessor elected to the panel this fall,resigned last month and has been replacedby Jacob Getzels in the department ofeducation.Browder is also a member of theCommittee of the Council, but has ab¬stained from the discussions of his chargeswithin the committee. Educated at MITand Princeton, the 49-year oldmathematician and department chairmancame to the University in 1963 as aprofessor of mathematics He previouslytaught at MIT, Brandeis, and YaleUniversity.Interviews with faculty who attended theCouncil meeting, as well as others familiarwith the report, show a deep rift betweenthose who support Browder's charges andothers who deny their validity.Norman M. Bradburn, chairman of thebehavorial sciences department and aFaculty Council member, labelledBrowder’s report a “personal problem ” twelve quarters. In the last 12 quarters yetare three quarters of bad market. So thatpulls the average down.Q: You don’t view the Harper fellowsituation as related, I know in the sense offaculty, and I know that pretty much hasbeen resolved, but in the minds of somefaculty members I’m sure it could beviewed.W: ... as a substitution for faculty?Q: Would you say that it might be apossible negative effect of the program ...or how do you prevent against that beingan effect of the program...W: Well I think you prevent against it byhaving a notion of what you’re doingbefore you talk to the prospective fellows.And if the prospective fellows, and I mightsay that all of the Harper fellows who arehere now with whom I have spoken, wereperfectly clear in their understandingwhen they came. If you speak to. just asyou speak to a research fellow who comeshere, I thought the teaching fellow was in away the other side of the coin from aresearch fellow who comes for a set periodof time. And the idea of having someonecome to this college and get the experienceof teaching in a college which is embeddedin a university might be an enrichingexperience before he went on to someplace like Carlton or Beloit, or someplacewhere he would not have had the ex¬perience of being in a university. It wasthat simple.Q: I was thinking more of the view of thesenior faculty, their difficulty . . . being asubstitute for them.W: The original idea as we discussed itwas more like the Bigelow fellows in thelaw school where there would be seniorfaculty teaching with the fellows and as ithas worked out I think the fellows have(continued on page 6)(Photo by Philip Grew)“It’s absolutely counter to my own ex¬perience, what he alleged I just can’tbelieve,” Bradburn said. “I’ve hadlengthy discussions with the ad¬ministration, and I’ve always had thefeeling they're interested.”Bradburn agreed that a “wedge” hasdeveloped within the faculty But he laidblame for that on Browder, whosepresentation, he said, was “uncivil” and“in bad taste”.“I think he displayed some courage.”said Paul Moore, a Council member. “Weare really in the midst of a breakdown indialogue between the faculty and ad¬ministration.”While conceding that the report was“presented in an aggressive way”, Mooreobserved . “Sometimes you almost have tobecome hysterical to be heard aroundhere.”Administrators silentProvost D. Gale Johnson, present at theCouncil meeting and reportedly involvedin the discussions concerning the collegemath program, was unavailable forcomment Wednesday and Thursday.Robert Uretz, acting dean of the PritzkerSchool of Medicine, refused to commentthrough a spokesman.Chicago Maroon Friday, February 4, 1977-3Editoriali Letters to the EditorAccess andAccountabilityPresident John Wilson’s campus “pressconference” Wednesday was supposed to be anopportunity for the University’s chief executiveto talk with the campus community through itsstudent media representatives. The event endedud revealing iust how remote Mr. Wilson is fromthe scholars and students that compose theUniversity community he oversees.He has tried to keep a low profile as president,choosing to leave the role of Universityspokesman to Public Affairs Vice-PresidentD.J.R. Bruckner, with the exception of the hour-long interview he grants once a quarter to adiminishing number of campus media. Thatinterview, he made clear this week, is granted asa courtesy, for he sees no obligation “to answerto the public at large, even the campus public,for what I do.”His courtesy did not extend to either The RedGargoyle, a politically left publication, whichwas excluded last quarter, or to The ChicagoJournal, a community-campus weekly whichwas “un-invited” this quarter, after recon¬sideration by Public Affairs Vice-PresidentD.J.R. Bruckner.They shouldn’t feel too unhappy. They didn’tmiss much. Mr. Wilson, when he finally doesface a small group of questioners, is oftenevasive and cavalier in his responses. The in¬terview is an inefficient and unsatisfying methodof obtaining substantive information. However,Mr. Wilson has refused to comment on issues asthey arise, and this is the only opportunity thatexists for access.Wilson’s attitude toward his “public” shows aninexcusable insensitivity to his responsibilitiesas President of an institution of far-ranginginfluence. He represents a University whichplayed a major role in giving the world theatomic bomb in the forties, and was largelyresponsible for the urban renewal efforts whichin the fifties radically changed the character ofthe surrounding community—the community towhich he feels he owes no responsibility.Although students are responsible for only aportion of the actual cost of their education, theydeserve some say in how their education isconducted.Another, perhaps more serious example of thewidening rift developing between the Universityand its administration, is Mathematics depart¬ment chairman Felix Browder’s recent chargethat the University is becoming a “Multiversitydominated by a special administrative castewithout real responsibility to the faculty.Browder, in a speech delivered at a meeting ofthe faculty council three weeks ago, charged thatthe administration has ursurped decision¬making powers originally held by the faculty.Browder’s arguments will undoubtedlyreceive greater attention in the coming weeks sowe shall defer from futher commenting on thoseissues until later. However, we wish to point outthat we have decided to print the text of Mr.Browder’s statement because we beleive that itraises issues that deserve the attention and thediscussion of the campus at large. Mr. Wilson,who refused to comment on matters which he feltwere confidential, did not agree.President Wilson may not be a public official,but he does have a public to which he is ac¬countable. In refusing to face the campus publicother than in the contrived and infrequent “pressconference” and by often refusing to seriouslyanswer the questions of the few reporters per¬mitted to question him, Mr. Wilson has sought toevade his inescapable responsibilities to thepeople directly affected by the decisions hemakes.4-The Chicago Maroon-Friday, February 4,1977 Harris award,part twoTo the Editor:Dean O’Connell’s defense of theHarris prizes in last Friday’sMaroon skirted their two short¬comings: the prizes give moneyto students who don’t need it, andthe prizes are distributed ac¬cording to a preposterousdefinition of achievement.(1)The Harris prizes are ob¬viously based on a new financialaid policy. Instead of givingmoney to students who most needit, they give money to studentswho meet certain definitions ofachievement whether thosestudents need money or not.The figures Dean O’Connellcites obscure this policy changeby suggesting that since studentsare rolling in the dollars he givesthem, surplus dollars migh justas well be given to studentswithout financial need. As hesays, 70% of students receiveaid—but he also knows that theproportion of aid in loans com¬pared to aid in grants has in¬creased markedly in recentyears. As he says, this 70% figureis higher than at other privateschools—but he also knows thatChicago students are far needierthan students at other schools. Infact, according to the Consortiumon Financing Higher Education,the proportion of students atChicago with a “high-need” foraid is twice the average of otherschools in the Consortium.The College has decided tofavor students who improve theirexam scores or who join lots ofactivities rather than studentswith fast-accumulating debts.The serious questions this jjosescannot be dismissed by trum¬peting past successes of old aidprograms.(2)But even supposing thatmoney should be used to rewardachievement, the Harris com¬mittee defined achievement in apreposterous way.The committee comparedstudents’ estimated abilities withtheir actual grades in order tojudge their academicachievements. Thus, accordingto Dean Straus, students with lowS.A.T.’s but high grades werejudged to have achieved morethan students with both highS.A.T.’s and high grades.

Allelse being equal, the selectionprocess handicapped studentswith high first year grades, highS.A.T.’s, or high high-schoolgrades.These charges are supportedby Dean O’Connell’s statementthat five Harris recipients hadgrade averages too low to qualifyfor the Dean’s List. Last yearnearly a quarter of students inthe college, over five hundred,qualified for this list. Since only3% of students receive Harrisprizes, how are they stronglybased on academic achievementand at the same time given tostudents not in the top 25% oftheir class?(3)When the two shortcomingsof the Harris prizes are con¬sidered together, the conclusionis that wealthy students with low Letters Policy: The Maroon encourages itsreaders to submit letters to the editor Letterswill not be cut in any way.first year grades are favoredover needy students with highfirst year grades!Richard BiemackiRapeTo the Editor:We were pleased to see anarticle on rape in the Maroon, butwe would like to clarify some ofthe points made in the article.R.A.P.E. Crisis, Hyde Park, isa community organizationdedicated to the assistance ofrape victims, the prevention ofrape, and the education of thecommunity about rape. Thecrisis center was started over ayear ago, but we have only beenactively soliciting members andbeginning programs since latelast spring. Recently we invitedstudents at the University to forma chapter of our organization. Itwas this group which Ms. Rosettvisited. The meeting to which shereferred was to be the firstmeeting of the group and was tobe organizational in nature, nottherapeutic. Both groupsstrongly believe that counselingis the province of trainedprofessionals, and any efforts wemake in this direction will beunder the guidance of such in¬dividuals.The “questionnaire” to whichMs. Rosett referred is not oursand is not based on our ex¬periences or data. It was done bvanother group and is among theliterature we distribute. While wehope to do research at somepoint, we do not now have plans todo so. We have not printed anyliterature; nor do we offer legalassistance, although our sisterorganization North Side RapeCrisis Line does.Finally, we would like to offercontrasting opinions to some ofthose in the article. We weresomewhat distressed at Ms.Rosett’s frequent reference tomythical rapes and others whichdid not occur. Rape is very real,and the frequency of falsereporting is very low. Accordingto Brownmiller’s study of theNew York Police Departmentfigures, the rate of “falsereporting” fluctuates with theattitudes of the police officers.She reports the rate of falsereporting to be two percent,which is the same as that for anyother violent crime. Rather thanworry about a few “false”reports, we are more concernedwith the much greater numberwhich go unreported. The bestestimate of unreported rape is bythe National Crime Panel sur¬veys, which showed that onlyabout half of all the rapes whichoccurred in 1972 (the year of thesurveys) were ever reported.Another point we wish toclarify is in reference to the billbefore the state legislature whichwould make a woman’s sexualhistory inadmissible as evidence.Ms. Rosett stated that “such abill might help some women inthe battle against society’sdouble standard, but it might alsowork against women withtraditionally acceptable sexualbackgrounds.” She missed thepoint of that legislation com¬pletely. Rape is not a sexualcrime, and the victim is not ontrial for her past behavior or her “morality.” Rape is a crime ofviolence which is prosecutedeither by establishing the identityof the assailant or bv establishingthe coercion was involved. Thonly relevant information aboutthe victim’s past is herrelationship with the assailant,and this is only relevant insofaras necessary to establish identityor coercion.In conclusion, with regard torape being “passe,” let it sufficeto say that only those who do notfear being raped can consider it“passe” — or those who do notrecognize their own vic¬timization.The Steering CommitteeR.A.P.E. Crisis, Hyde ParkBig Mac neededTo the Editor:Concerning a new, student-runcanteen: A better solution wouldbe to move all of the canteenfacilities from the library toReynolds Club. This would getpeople over there, and out of thelibrary, (the library is, after all,not a place to socialize, andReynolds Club is just across thestreet).If the Student Governmentreally wanted to do somethinguseful, a doubtful proposition, itwould find a way to make theReynolds Club building serve thepurpose of a real gathering placefor people studying at Regen-stein. Two obvious ways wouldsuggest themselves:1. Push for a new managementof the C-Shop-Hutch Commons bya new and competent outsidecompany (who can be dispensedwith if they prove as awful as thecurrent crew).2. Push for management of theC-Shop-Hutch Commons by theStudent Government (if they areso anxious to use on-campusfolks). I personally oppose this,since I feel the greatest controlcomes when one uses an outsideorganization which must renewits contract frequently.The Student Government couldalso consider the following: The0. of C. is the only campus I knowof where there is no 24 hourreading room. The HutchCommons could well serve thepurpose, particularly if theodious machines from Regen-stein were moved there. Thiscombined with food and beverageservice at all hours thatRegenstein is open would, onceworked out, increase the actualversatility of the existingfacilities. For those who con¬tinually bemoan the lack of astudent union on campus, theReynolds Club complex could ifproperly utilized, satisfy many ofthe unfulfilled needs, withminimal expenditure. The majorcost would be for additional hoursof security and additional hoursof food and beverage service(with the after closing needshandled by the machines).My comments do not constitutea detailed program for action,but rather a stimulus for thoughtalong a different line. I think thatthe Student Government isdefinitely woofing up the wrongstump.Ron SearsDept of LinguisticsThe Browder minorityThe following is a Minority Report in theconfidential minutes of the Council of theUniversity Senate meeting of January 11,1977 authored by Felix E. Browder,chairman of the mathematics department.The Maroon obtained a copy of the minutesthis week.Felix E. Browder’sMinority Report ofJanuary 11,1977Under Rule 4 of Part II of the Rules ofProcedure, Mr. Browder had distributed,as a member of the Committee of theCouncil, a minority report, which reads asfollows:Under the Rules of the Council and theCommittee of the Council, I hereby submitthe following Report to be distributed tothe members of the Council at thebeginning of the January 11 meeting andask that it be opened to Council discussionimmediately after the presentation of theReport of the Spokesman.The agenda of this meeting include threeproposals for Council action, Items 6 and 7for final action at this meeting and Item 5to be acted upon at the next meeting of theCouncil. I strongly urge the defeat of allthree proposals. Though originally I votedin the Committee of the Council torecommend approval of the recom¬mendations of the Committee on PatentPolicy and the Committee on Non-FacultyAcademic Appointments, I have asked theCommittee of the Council for recon¬sideration on these proposals. Despite mybelief (then and now) that the positivevalue of these proposals to the Universityis relatively negligible and the dangerswhich might be incurred non-trivial, myoriginal vote in favor was based upon theprinciple which we all so piously honor:“let the machinery of the University roll”.The experience of*the past several monthsand reflection upon the experience of thewhole past year have been sufficient tomake it clear to me that at the presentmoment this principle has lost its validity.The machinery is rolling towards thedestruction of basic intellectual andacademic values, and it must be stoppedrather than aided on. To substantiate thisgeneral thesis, I shall have to speak moreplainly and with greater candor than iscustomary in our public discussions;however, I believe that plain-speaking andcandor may themselves now be of directbenefit to us all.My objection to Items 5, 6 and 7 relates inpart to their specific character butprimarily to their relation to the broadthrust of University policy. The recom¬mendation on patent policy, for example,is very likely of small financialsignificance to the University and willprobably engender a further addition tothe useless administrative bureaucracy toimplement it, but is most objectionable interms of its thrust (as correctly and for¬cefully stated by Ira Wool) toward em¬phasizing applied research at the expenseof basic research in the University, a trendalready furthered by many other Ad¬ministration policies. The same objectionholds even more forcefully with respect tothe consequences of the recommendationon Non-Faculty Academic Appointments,together with substantial doubt on themeaningfulness of the casual attitude ofthe Administration toward the possiblefuture costs of this policy. We haverecently been informed by the Committeeof Deans that next year’s academic budgetwill have to contract, in significant partbecause of the considerable maintenancecosts on the new medical researchbuildings. One wonders at this point whatbecame of the assurances so fervently putforward years ago that maintenance costswould be included in the financing of newbuildings. One wonders too at the casual(not to say cavalier) attitude of the Ad¬ministration with respect to the financingof the proposed building for the acquisitionof the Crerar Library, an acquisitionwhich we are informed is administrativelyessential in order to supply the MedicalSchool with its own contiguous library forpurposes of accreditation. The Ad¬ministration seems to have a double standard on costs, one of ferociousausterity for the basic academic areas andanother of laxness for the professionalMedical area.With respect to the proposal on theMichael Reese affiliation, we are facedwith an even more central problem withrespect to University policy, the role of theMedical Center within the University. Theterms of the proposal on Michael Reeseare a legacy from the brief transit throughChicago of Dr. Tosteson, whose rapiddeparture at the end of Novemberproduced such an exhibition of con¬sternation in the Administration. The mostsuperficial question one can ask is whetherby adopting this agreement without havingthe Dean or Vice President to implementit, one does any more than put a pleasingcover on the Administration’s failure asrepresented by Tosteson’s defection. Amore serious question which covers thewhole pattern of the development of themedical area during the past year, in¬cluding the massive upgrading of ad¬ministrative authority represented by thetransformation of the Dean of BiologicalSciences into a Vice-President with directaccess to the Board of Trustees and withhis whole administrative retinuecorrespondingly upgraded as well as theupsurge of new appointments in theMedical School at a time of belt-tighteningin the academic areas, is this: Are we notapproaching the point where the Medicaltail is wagging the University dog (or havewe perhaps already reached it) ?We are moving at an accelerating ratefrom a meaningfully run and coherentUniversity to a badly run Multiversity,from a faculty-run University to aMultiversity dominated by a special ad¬ministrative caste without real respon¬sibility to the faculty, from a Universitywith the strongest possible emphasis onthe basic quality of teaching, research,and scholarship to a Multiversitydominated by the pursuit of projectsfashionable in the educational and foun¬dation bureaucracy. Let me cite somestriking examples of which I have directknowledge:(1) When a member of this Council wroteto the President protesting the sudden andarbitrary dismissal by the Vice Presidentfor Public A fairs of the Editor of TheUniversity of Chicago Magazine this Fall,he received an answer from the Presidentthe gist of which was: Decisions made inproper administrative channels are notsubject to discussion or criticism by thefaculty. When the Spokesman of theCommittee of the College Council wrote tothe President asking for an investigationof the appropriation of half the Un¬dergraduate Reading Area in Wieboldt bythe Vice President for Business andFinance on behalf of the Committee onFhiblic Policy Studies, he received thesame answer.(2) I have been told in detail of severalcases in which academic appointments ofoutstanding quality were recommended byone or several academic units of theUniversity this Fall and replied to incategorical terms by the President thatwhatever their academic virtues might be,no such appointments would be madeunless the academic units independentlyraised funds to endow these appointments.(3) As Chairman of the MathematicsDepartment, I have recently received amemo passed down through the Collegehierarchy (but originating, I am told, witha decision of the Provost) informing methat during the Spring Quarter, because ofthe lack of funds, I shall have to cancel 32sections of first-year College mathematicscourses serving more than 600 students.This is an absurdity, but an absurdistphilosophy seems to dominate the Ad¬ministration’s thinking. Perhaps theProvost has adopted the theory of a Deanwho several years ago argued thatbecause elementary mathematicseducation was so expensive, we shouldabandon it and send all our first yearstudents to Roosevelt for theirmathematics courses. In our Department,we have preferred to try for the highestlevel in both teaching and research among the major universities, not the lowest. Weare pleased with what we have achievedand eager to improve it, not tear it down.A number of faculty members with whom Ihave discussed the issues presented hereand in my previous Report of last Octoberhave askea what can be done in the presentsituation. There is a strong positive an¬swer. In terms of the University Statuteson retirement of administrators, it is verytimely to begin the process of looking forthe next President. In view of the difficultissues raised by current trends as well asthe problems faced by the last PresidentialSearch Committee, it is certainly hightime for the process to begin of forming anew Trustee-Faculty Search Committee.It is very likely this search and selectionwill be a matter of central importance forthe whole future of the University.Report of the UniversityPatent CommitteeDr. Oparil, on behalf of the Committee ofthe Council, moved that the Council en¬dorse in principle the recommendationsset forth in the Report of the UniversityPatent Committee, dated May 20,1976.Mr. Browder spoke as follows:As my Minority Report emphasizes, thebasic ground for my opposition to the twoproposals under consideration today lies inthe general thrust of University policy.The patent policy proposal will very likelyhave a negligible effect upon the financialproblems of the University while itspotential dangers are small, the proposalon non-faculty academic personnel hasmore substantial dangers in terms of the •possible proliferation of a new parallelsub-faculty hierarchy of ResearchAssociates and Lecturers, but if one hadfaith in the insight and devotion to qualityin academic life of our Administrators,then this proposal too could be acceptedfor its benefits without regard to itsdangers. It is precisely this emphasis onquality however that is disregarded whenthe Administration takes it for grantedthat the University is a business whosebooks must be balanced no matter how,and that it should expand without limit inareas like the Medical area where short¬term money can be obtained. This way ofviewing the University’s problems leads to' policies and attitudes which weaken theUniversity’s thrust towards its essentialfunctions, which are intellectual.Much of the work of the Council and muchof the present flow of communicationsfrom the Administration to the Depart¬ments are concerned with busywork.which denies us the opportunity to aiscussthe basic issues. The basic issues which Ihave emphasized in my Minority Reportare: Lack of responsiveness of the ad¬ministrative hierarchy to faculty sen¬timent; A weakened thrust toward high-quality appointments in the basicacademic areas, which involves tyingthem to demands for fund-raising by thefaculty that cannot be fulfilled; A for¬malistic approach to academic budgetswhich particularly in some areas of theCollege are formed without a realisticrelation to the needs to be served and thenenforced by creating artificial crises inindispensable areas of our studentseducation. As Chairman of theMathematics Department, I have seen theattitudes reflected in these seriousproblems appear as well in matters ofmuch smaller concern in an almostsurrealistic way, a reverential attitude toformal details and an almost total lack ofinsight and concern with the real problemsof maintaining and improving the qualityof teaching, research, and scholarship.When Easley Blackwood. Spokesman ofthe Committee of the College Council,wrote to the President urging recon¬sideration and discussion of the actionstaken on the Wieboldt reading area forundergraduates, he was told that if theappropriate administrative figures hadformally concurred in this action, it wasbeyond the limits of faculty discussion.When Paul Moore of the GeophysicsDepartment wrote to the President askingfor a discussion of the sudden and ap¬ parently arbitrary dismissal of theDirector of the Alumni Association and theEditor of the University Magazine, he toowas told that such administrative actionscould not be discussed. In certainacademic units, efforts to put forwardquite distinguished appointments weremet by a statement from the Presidentthat such appointments could not be madeunless these units raised an independentendowment for them. I myself have hadthe comic experience of 'asking for thechange in the name of an already existingappointment on the junior level and beingtold that it would require the raising of anew endowment.In terms of my Department's problems,what most deeply disturbs me is the lack ofa meaningful sense of relationship bet¬ween the administrative process and ourteaching in the College, particularly withrespect to our service program for thoseCollege freshmen and transfer studentswho are not particularly talented inmathematics. By necessity, this is a veryextensive program involving four of ourfull professors and 30-odd lecturers. It is aprogram that is the best of its kind in thecountry among University colleges and itworks well. During the past week, I havereceived a memo from the Master of thePhysical Science Collegiate Division in¬forming me that because of the limitationson the funds allocated for these purposes inthe College budget (at a level which wasexplicitly known to be unrealistic when theBudget was formed), there is no money topay the Lecturers in the Spring, and that itwas clear both to him and the Dean thatthere was no redress possible from theCollege budget. No amount of lip servicepaid to College teaching and involvementof senior faculty in it. can excuse the lackof sufficient concern and realistic planningon the part of the top Administration thatcreates situations of this sort.These things are well worth the attentionof the Council.Mr. Posner explained that the motion onthe patent policy was a proposal foramending the Statutes so as to permit amore flexible procedure, one that wouldpermit the University to hold title topatents in appropriate cases. A moreflexible policy nad been tried ex¬perimentally for five or six years, and MrPosner said that concerns expressed abouta more liberal policy had not materializedMr. Johnson observed that the existingStatutes required the University to turnpatents over to a particular agency, onethat had not proved very efficient Mr.Posner agreed, and aclded that theproposal was intended to free theUniversity from the constraints of workingwith the Research Corporation.The question was called and the motionwas passed. There were 29 votes for and 3against; and there were 3 abstentions.Mr. Sally said he shared Mr. Browder'sdesire to have many matters broughtbefore the Council for discussion andwould like appropriate information onthese matters to be distributed in advanceHe felt a developing sense of helplessness,and hoped that other Council memberswould have opportunities to express theiropinions.The Chicago Maroon Friday, February 4,1977-51 am a much lower key president than others’(continued from page 3)been made responsible for core courseteaching almost as if they were juniorfaculty member, and that’s where I wouldpart company with whoever executed theprogram in the College. Because theBigelow fellows teach with a senior facul¬ty...Q: You believe that should be done...W: That was the original idea at least onmy part. That way it doesn’t becomeHarper teaching fellow in isolation servinga role that is the same as a junior faculty.Q: What would you say is the problem ...the resources aren’t really almost therefor just the base common core at this point. . . they’re barely there. . . for bringingsenior faculty in to teach the common corecourses . . . well mostly in the humanitiesand social sciences...W: Well it isn’t that the resources are notin the university, it’s that the resourceshave not been brought to bear on thatproblem. And so the discussions have tocontinue. That’s a perennial problem, andit’s been a perennial problem in theCollege since I’ve heard anything about it.There is, as you well know, it’s discussedin the recent college Newsletter, theproblem of staff taught courses versusindividual taught courses. That will go on,I suppose, forever. I don’t have an easysolution to it.HEW investiga¬tionQ: What was your reaction to thediscussion in the law school between Ibelieve it was 74 students and theDepartment of Health, Education andWelfare?W: I wasn’t in on the discussion, I don’tknow...Q: What was your reaction to thediscussion, do you think its created anysort of awareness in the other parts of theCollege as far as the proportion minorityteachers present in the College?W: I wasn’t aware... I didn’t react to thediscussion, I reacted to the end product ofthe discussion. I suppose from their pointof view they have the evidence on theirside. The Law School faculty doesn’tcontain any females nor bona fide facultyblacks. So there’s a legitimate question asto why not.Q: What do you perceive the affirmativeaction office doing to resolve...W: I don’t have the slightest idea.Q: You wouldn’t thrust yourself into thatsituation personally?W: I think it would be presumptuous of meto guess what the government would do.Q: Well, since 1972 the guidelines . . .firmer guidelines have been in effect doyou think that the University...W: Well I think the issue, and I don’treally know the details, the issue it seemsto me is whether the Law School in goodfaith has attempted to recruit. I don’t havethe evidence on that. effort in recruiting the answer would beyes.The presidentand the pressQ: We should deal with the question raisedin the letter...W: If you wish I am willing to go beyondon this and not have it part of the pressconference and just discuss it amongourselves after the press conference isover, if you wish . . . I’m not sure thatdiscussing this is of any interest to yourreaders, is all I’m saying and I’m willingto sit and talk with you about this af¬terwards if you want to, and not waste tenminutes of your press conference time.Q: We might as well go ahead with thequestion, I think it’s just as valid aquestion as any other. There seems to be awhole battery of issues associated with theone that is in the letter. The first oneregards the press conference itself, andthe exclusion last time of The RedGargoyle, and the exclusion this time ofThe Chicago Journal. What I’d like to askyou is ... it doesn’t seem to be a matter ofgreat principle one way or another. Andgiven the intensity...W: No, I don’t think it’s great principle,but it is a question of the theory of thepress conference and your perception ofthe University’s role in the news and yourperception of me in the news. I think theremay be a different perception on your partand on my part, of the theory of the pressconference, and the theory of theUniversity as a newsworthy institution andthe presidency as a newsworthy source.Q: If I could try to put it in a more generalway, Mr. Bruckner in his letter to theJournal said that he felt these press con¬ferences were more a courtesy to the pressthan an absolute necessity for thepresident. I think that’s basically a quote.Of course it is true, and I think you couldprobably say that about Jimmy Carter orany leader.W: No, no, no, no, no. There’s a fun¬damental difference. Jimmy Carter is anelected public official. I’m not an electedpublic official. This isn’t a governmentagency for heaven sake.Q: No, of course not.W: It is a private institution David, youknow that. And as such privacy is a primeelement.Q: Is that another way of saying that youdon’t really recognize the efforts of thecampus media as a legitimate effort?W: No, of course not. You said somethingin your letter ... I got to do something torecognize the validity of The Maroon. Ofcourse The Maroon has validity. It’s astudent newspaper. There’s no questionabout that. But I’m not in the presidency tohave news conferences. The purpose ofhaving a president is not so that he canappear at a news conference. Nor do I feelit necessary to answer to the public atlarge, even the campus public, for what Ido.Q: You said in past press conferences thatyou felt that the University’s affirmativeaction effort has far exceeded even whatthe HEW’s required.W: Did I say that?Q: I don’t have the statements in front ofme...W: I might have said that...Q: The question has been raised...W: I think the question is how muchrecruiting effort various academic unitsdo, and the ones that I know about, and theones that I’ve been told about by the deans,I am satisfied that they are attempting torecruit. And that will be the issue withrespect to whether or not the charge hasany validity. You know Chicago might notbe the most attractive place for variouspeople. I don’t know why they don’t come.I’m not doing the recruiting. I don’t havethe answer to your question. If you’reasking if I think they’ve made a good faith6-The Chicago Marogn-Friday, February 4* Q: What’s the major difference betweenThe Maroon and the Journal?W: Well I do think The Maroon is acampus newspaper which, I sometimeswonder why, but, tries to go outside thecampus on issues, whereas the Journal Ithink if I read it correctly, says it’s a SouthShore community. It isn’t really anewspaper either, I don’t think. Call itwhat you will. I don’t think the Maroonreally is aimed at covering the SouthShore-Hyde Park community except bychance. It’s really aimed at covering thecampus isn’t it? It’s a means of com¬munication to the University communitystrictly speaking.Q: How much would you differ betweenthis kind of communication and problemsof communication betweeen the facultyand the administration, let’s say withreference to...W: I hope their channels of COm-777 V munication... between the administration. . . when you use that phraseology itbothers me just a little bit... I would hopethat there are channels of communicationto the faculty from the administration thatare over and beyond the Maroon, or eventhe Record, which is the official channel ofcommunication.Q: Are you satisfied with the channels ofcommunication between faculty and youradministration?W: In any institution I’ve ever been in theproblem of communication has beendiscussed, talked about. And to the best ofmy knowledge no one running any in¬stitution, or no one responsible for anyinstitution is ever satisfied with thechannels of communication. Eitherwhether or not the communications getthrough, or whether they are understood,or whether they are even listened to. Now Ithink Mr. Bruckner in his letter to theJournal made a very telling comment thatif you read the archives, presidents of thisuniversity have said many, many things tothe faculty from time to time, and youwonder sometimes whatever happened tothe message. It’s amusing in many waysnow. Let’s take some examples. I give anannual state of the university message, inwhich I try my best to outline what I thinkare the pressing problems of theUniversity. It’s open to the faculty. If morethan 75 faculty show up I’m always flat¬tered. If more than 75 more read it I wouldbe terribly surprised. But, yet you willhear complaints about communication.And I don’t understand that. Now we write. . . since 1970 there has been an annualmemorandum to all the faculty on thebudget. Now that was initiated becauseboth Mr. Levi and I felt that individualfaculty members should be told what thesituation regarding the budget was, or is.It takes a lot of time to prepare that. Veryhard work to write that memorandumbecause it’s not an easy thing. I doubt that10 percent of the faculty read it. I’d be veryflattered if 20 percent did it, and I’m sureGale Johnson would. And yet I hear just allsorts of misinformation about the budgetbeing talked about. And so I just sort, of Isuppose bear with the argument thatthere’s no communication.Q: Well how about Loth of thosestatements, well the budge, memorandumis much more detailed than the state of theUniversity message...W: The state of the University message isgreatly detailed. If you read it this year, Ieven talked about how many Ph.D’s didn’thave jobs, and all that sort of stuff. Nowthat’s detail of, I just thought, boring level.Q: As far as students go you wouldn’t put...W: I tend to favor a single discussion withyou once a quarter so that. . . one of thedifficulties with the telephonic kind ofthing is I don’t know who is on the otherend of the telephone. >Wiybody can pick upthe telephone and say “Hi, I’m so and sofrom the Maroon.”Q: Using other universities, most majorIvy League universities, even private onessuch as Northwestern, which are ofcomparable size and scope to this one if notlarger, have access daily, interviewsevery four weeks for example, on issuesyour willing to speak on only once aquarter for an hour.W: Well maybe they have more to talkabout, or more time, I don’t knowQ: Well would you say that that reflects onyour own feelings as how you...W: ... it may reflect on my perception,but I don’t think the president is there tohold daily news conferences.Q: I’m not sure I understand.W: I suppose I really am a much lowerkey president than a lot of presidents are. Icertainly don’t make public pronoun¬cements as frequently or on as many assome of my colleagues in the Ivy Leagues.I don’t know who listens to the publicpronouncements they make. But if theywant to make them alright. Most of theaction in this university is going on out inthe academic areas. It isn’t as though all sorts of decisions are being made dailythat ought to be communicated to the greatpublic. Really.Q: On the question of the exclusion of theJournal...W: On that issue as I said the last time Italked about it you can go in eitherdirection. You can either open it up toeverybody, and if you open it up then youmust it seems to me, we have a newspaperover at the Lab School we have anewspaper over in the hospitals, we havethe Hyde Park Herald, we have theTribune as someone reminded me, so thatyou could open it up to everybody. I’m nota public figure.Q: Maybe I’m not understanding this,what’s the difference between...W: the difference is...Q: Well what are the criteria?W: That the purpose of it is to be a campusmedium. You both are campus media, itseems to me. Is that not true?Q: What defines us as campus media andnot...the Journal. I hope I’m not beingredundant.W: The Journal states that it is not acampus media, it is a medium for theSoutn Shore Community, for the HydePark community and some other place Iforgot. It states its purpose...Q: The University of Chicago.W: Well it includes us, but is not limited to.It’s the limited to that I think is the issue.Q: So if they were to change theirmasthead to U of CW: The reason they say they include SouthShore is because people from theuniversity live in South Shore.W: They go beyond South Shore too as Iremember. They have another one in thereI can’t remember...Q: It’s U of C, Hyde Park, South Shore...W: Well Hyde Park would certainly be oncampus. I don’t want to ask the Hyde ParkHerald over and have a press conferencewith the Hyde Park Herald. I’m not thatnewsworthy for God sakes, that’spresumptuous.Q: So is it a question of distribution or...W: No, the coverage.Q: Well have you listened to WHPK’scoverage...W: It’s true that the radio waves go a littlebit beyond the campus. But if you go toofar you’re going to get in trouble, is thatnot true.Q: Well it is...W: That’s the principle.Q: We’ve got potential listening audiencewhich isW: You’ve got a potential listeningaudience that I don’t care to talk to. If Iwanted to be on the radio or the televisionmaybe I could get onto Kup’s Show, orsomething like that. I don’t want to be onthe television or the radio. Everybodydoesn’t want to be on the television or theradio.Q: The decision to exclude the Journal wasmade because they are covering thecommunity and not the college...W: No I think some of you guys raised thequestion of why the Journal was here sincethe Red Gargoyle wasn’t. I agree with Mr.Bruckner that in fairness if we exclude theRed Gargoyle we have to exclude theJournal.Q: You still haven’t really clarified whatthose criteria are, if its distribution...W: Well Mr. Bruckner...Q: Well there were two different... in yourpress conference last quarter it was thequestion was raised around distribution tothe campus communityW: No the question really was now Isaid I hadn’t really seen The Red Gargoyleso that I jumped to the conclusion that itcouldn’t have been distributed very well.That s the first time I had ever seen ithonestly.The Chrcago Maroon's Weekly Magazine of Criticism and the ArtsA Kick in the ArtsMary Jane Dougherty 1976By Carl Lavin"Art, technology, and even science seemto me three veils for the same face, threemetaphors that cover, then dissolve into asingle reality. That central fact is theprobing, discovering purpose of man."With each day our position in the en¬vironment grows more existential, morelike the artist's. With each day thedecisions before us admit less physicalnecessity. We are conditioned now byfreedom, not slavery. To retreat fromscience, technology, and art would be toabandon that freedom, robbing life of theone value beyond itself. It would surrenderthe implicit goal of humanism, which is anexpansion of both our consciousness andour condition. The end of man is ap¬parently the future of art."Douglas Davies Art And The FutureAt Midway Studios this quarter art takesa big step toward its future. Over the nextfive weeks eleven new performance pieceswill be given by fourteen Chicago artists.Taken together they will draw on all thedisciplines from painting to physics,sharing a common aim: to open ourpowers of perception to new ways ofexperience beyond the realm of theeveryday. Because ioeas and objects arejuxtaposed to force the viewer to recon¬sider his normal categories of experienceand perception, a performance is aneducation in awareness.But a performance is not just an idea oran object, it is a special activity or ex¬perience that extends both the capabilitiesof the artist and the consciousness of theaudience. Since performance art usuallyinvolves the artist's activity, this canconsist of reading poetry, making videotapes of the audience, cooking a spaghettilunch (as Cosmo Compoli did at the BlueGargoyle Wednesday), or listening to therings of a tree trunk with a lasar beam.The dynamics of a performance piecedepend on the interaction between thepiece, the audience, and the artist. Someare set up in a traditional theatricalorientation, with the audience isolatedfrom the artist's activity, but most dependon audience participation. Elements oftime and space are important since theyset the limits on the activity, still a performance must be experienced first-hand.Many of them are documented, but seeing a single photo or reading a script are nosubstitute for being there.Some aspect of at least one of the elevenpieces will interest everyone, no matterwhat discipline they are studying.Physicists may be intrigued by the highlycomplex experimental equipment used byLeif Brush and Elizabeth Boettger. NextTuesday Linguists and English students will be interested to see what MichaelCrane does with words, while sociologistsand psychologists should go to investigateaudience/piece interaction. Art historiansmay be the least willing to learn from thebroad range being offered, because oftheir possible rigid preconceptions.Preconceptions are the worst sort ofintellectual baggage to carry to a per formance piece. Expectations about thenature of the experience, the meaning ofart, or the role of performance art in themainstream art world will just get in yourway while you try to experience the piece.Preconceived ideas about learning, in¬fluence, and directions in which the piecewill help you expand will only deter youfrom experiencing the new events openmindedly. Performance and other artforms aim to make the audience com¬prehend an idea, emotion, structure, orrelationship in a non-intellectual fashion.The best way to realize the artist's aim isto let the piece flow, experiencing itwithout thinking about it, giving the piecea chance to assert itself perceptuallyFor a U. of C. audience this will be dif¬ficult indeed. But give it a chance - it willbe worth it.For those of you that have read this farand are still curious, Ira Licht, pastcurator of the Museum of ContemporaryArt, and director of the Arts in the Parksprogram for the National Endowment ofthe Arts, will be giving a talk at 8 pmtonight at Midway Studios, explainingmore about Performance Art, and goinginto detail about the artists performingduring the next five weeks. Mr. Lichtknows many of the artists from his workhere in Chicago, and has the authority andbackground to give an informed openingtalk for this series of performance pieces.Leon Regan Upshaw, graduate student inart history at the University will be givingthe final talk in March. The Grey CityJournal will be bringing you weekly up¬dates, reviews and previews. We welcomeyour comments, suggestions, and queries.The first performance will be Tuesday,Feb. 8 by Michael Crane, a graduate of theSchool of the At institute who now lives inSt. Louis. He has long used performance ashis medium but also works with video andpublication. Mr. Crane operates theRunning Dog Press, a journal of con¬ceptual art publishing actual conceptualpieces, not just critical articles. Hisconcern with words and languagemanifests itself in his performances. Thepiece on Tuesday will be in two parts, inthe afternoon and at 8 in the evening, andeach part may be seen separately, but willrelate to each other, so try to see themboth.Life and Love with the Soaps: a Cleansing MomentBy Karen HellerThis article is the first in a three partseries on the "soap-opera" genre. The firstarticle looks at the popularity of standardday-time soaps.During the winter break, quite by ac¬cident, I became addicted to somethingmuch stronger than liquor, more powerfulthan chocolate: soap operas. Determinednot to pick up another book or do anythingthat might be deemed constructive, Iallowed myself to be overcome by blissfullethargy and sublime apathy. I condonedthose practices any proper U. of C.student would normally condemn. Obnoxious habits like sleeping late, eatingfull healthy meals, and going out becameabsolute de riguer. And at the top of thislist was that passive passion, that inactiveact: watching the boob tube.There is something almost em¬barrassing about day-time television—asthough it had a certain stigma attached toit, like being the bastard child of in¬famous parents. Looking at re-runs of"The Dick Van Dyke Show," "McHale'sNavy," and even "Leave it To Beaver"became acceptable because they werepart of T.V.'s "vintage years." Better still,old shows are nostalgic, p^rt of our not solong ago youth. Watching re runs of "StarTrek" became so trendy that the show nowhas a cult, a success the show never at¬tained when new and fresh.Game shows have some class becauselots of celebrities and lots of money are peddled to regular folks. Mr. and Mrs.Viewer have a chance to win fabulouslyuseless prizes while spilling wet kisses onMonty Hall and Allen Ludden.As delightfully awful as re-runs andgame shows were, soap operas seemedeven more mindless, so I sought the lowestart form to sooth my vacationing mind.Carefully selecting two "dramas" topatronize, I believed this would satiate myhunger for the mediocre. A friend of mine,a true connoisseur who scheduled hercollege classes around her favorite soaps,carefully advised me in my indulgences.She suggested I pick one classic, like"General Hospital" or "One Life to Live,"Ron Hale is Roger Coleridge in "Ryan'sHope." Roger is not nice. and some more contemporary "up-beat"drama, preferably two that appear backto-back; "All My Children, currently thenumber one soap opera in the country, and"Ryan's Hope," very new and differentfrom 11:30 to 12:30 on ABC. Before I knewit, they began to consume my thoughts,invade my dreams and dictate myschedule.At first I was very sceptical as to how"All My Children," let alone any soapopera, could command such a largeviewership. Pine Valley is the smallcommunity where the characters live,most of its inhabitants appearing as lat-terday saints. But as I stayed tune. Pin* Valley, like a Chekov play or a Fitzgeraldnovel, became more complex. I realizedthat I had just begun to scratch the sur¬face. Soon characters were not as theyseemed to be, relationships intensified andbecame intricate, Freudian and gloriouslymessy.The best reason for watching "All MyChildren" is two of its characters. Erica(Susan Lucci), the ultimate bitch, andPhoebe Tyler, so incredibly despicablethat I refuse to believe that the actresswho portrays her leads an independentlife. These two characters do their best toundermine, complicate and destroy thewell-being of all the other characters,particularly members of their families.You might ask whether there is any hope(continued on page 6)Nancy Addison is Jill Coleridge, Roger'ssister.

NeustadtThe Complete Lionel Hampton 1937 1941Bluebird AXM6-SS36 (sixrecordset) $23.98The private jam session is at the veryheart of the swing experience. The com¬petitive situation drove musicians toimprovisations of unprecedented lengthand breadth; each one developing anoriginal, easily identifiable musicalpersonality. Never before or since have somany musicians possessed such a varietyof approaches and trademarks.It is surprising that the very musicianswho excelled in these jam sessions alsocomprised the big bands, a musical formwhich stressed homogeneity above in¬dividuality.The great bands of the swing era(Henderson, Luncfdrd, Ellington, Basie)achieved aesthetic legitimacy through thestress created by the opposing forces of thesoloists and the band itself. The soloistsasserted a personal sound to combat theoppressiveness of the band,Unfortunately, the big bands tell us verylittle about the informal jam sessions fromwhich the music came. That is why acertain number of studio sessions areessential to the recordings of the swingera. The studio bands were made up ofmen specifically enlisted for that session.This meant that the highly developedmusical society of the swing bands wouldbe absent, since it would take years todevelop. Instead there was a situationamazingly close to the jam session.The Lionel Hampton Sessions, justreleased on RCA Bluebird, give us anamazing amount of data.The early sides, performed by membersof the Benny Goodman band, are some ofthe weakest in the collection. This is notnecessarily a slight to the Goodmanpersonnel, because Hampton himself hadnot fully realized the correct workingformat. The first outstanding session is by themembers of the Ellington band, in whichJohnny Hodges is featured on a not verywell known but classic improvisation ofThe Sunny Side of the Street. B y 1937, whenthe session was held, Hodges was theundisputed king of the alto sax, hereproving it in a context outside theEllington band. This session and twoothers rely on Ellington personnel arevaluable because they allow us to hearmany of the Ellington soloists outside ofhis band. Cootie Williams, LawrenceBrown, Harry Carney, and Sonny Greerare all featured. Bostic, Clyde Hart, Artie Bernstein, SidCatlett, and Charlie Christian.The last two men make this session sowonderful; for all the excellent drummingon the Hampton sessions by Gene Krupa,Cozy Cole, Sonny Greer, Jo Jones, AlvinBurroughs, Slick Jones, Zutty Singleton,and Shadow Wilson, Big Sid Catlett standsalone as the master of drumming.Haven't Named It Yet, from this session,is a three minute masterpiece. Catlett wasable to conceptualize his function as adrummer to such a refined extent thateach note he played became part of athematic whole. His playing on Haven'tNamed It Yet rises above the conf inements of the arrangement to become asoaring percussive concerto. CharlieChristian was the only musician on thedate able to contribute to Catlett's owninspiration. His solo adds the perfectmelodic counterpoint, and together the two -V, **> * :fthough, Hampton began to look more to hisown band and less at the all-star sessions.One of the last all-star dates he made waswith the Nat King Cole trio, an excellentsession both for Cole's work and Hamp¬ton's fine bit of drumming.The lasf sides in the collection are theearliest recordings of Hampton with hisown band. There is interesting work by SirCharles Thompson, Marshall Royal, andRay Perry, but on the whole the sidescannot stand up to comparison with theearlier sessions. One facet of Hampton'swork had ended and the next, his firey andpopular big band, was still in a nascentstate.More than any other single collection,this set could be a soundtrack for NewYork in the late thirties. Since it contains agoldmine of the great performances andinteresting rivalries, the price is smallcompared with the wonders containedwithin.The most famous of the Hamptonsessions is When Lights Are Low, recordedin 1939, an all-star date with DizzyGillespie, Benny Carter, ColemanHawkins, Ben Webster, Chu Berry, ClydeHart, Charlie Christian, Milt Hinton andCozy Cole. Andre Hodier has called WhenLights are Low the apex of classical swingmusic, while other critics have con¬centrated more on the other pieces in thesession, for instance Hot Mallets, whichfeatures Dizzy Gillespie's first excellentsolo.My favorite session is the next one,recorded one month later with Henry"Red" Allen, J. C. Higgenbotham, Earl This set is a soundtrack forNew York in the late thirties.men create one of the finest works in all ofswing music.For the next few sessions Hampton wasable to maintain a fairly consistentquality. Notable moments include aColeman Hawkins solo on Dinah, a sessionwith the members of the Earl "Fatha"Hines band, and Lionel Hampton's solo onI Can't Get Started With You Eventually Jazz Notes: This is the best month forjazz the University has seen in a longwhile.

I don'tmean that as a put-down; on the contrary,it recommends the play as the most en¬during and theatrical of Shakespeare'sworks. It's all very nice to marvel andimagine what a production of Cymbelineor Anthony and Cleopatra would be like,but it is Twelfth Night that gets produced.One of the reasons for this is that the playhas a straight-forward and uncomplicatedhumor that exploits its earlier Roman,Italian, and French literary models.Malvolio and Sir Andrew Aguecheek areirresistibly funny, and the mistakenidentity of Viola and Sebastian is a comicdevice at least as old as Plautus. Onanother level, the play has a lyrical,dream like quality that provides a greatHeal of material for an imaginativedirector and capable cast. Twelfth Night isso often produced not only because itscomic structure is so expert that anycompany but the most amateur can do itand pull it off, but also for its supple andsubtle artistry, which makes it a satisfyingendeavor for the most sophisticated andcreative dramatic performers.One thing Twelfth Night, or any otherproduction of Shakesoeare cannotwithstand is the mummifying reverencethat is often characteristic of "classic''Shakespearean productions, The currentproduction of the play at the WisdomBridge, however, approaches the workwith a healthy, if at times frenetic respectthat disapates any miasma of high art. Thedirector, David Beaird, demonstrates athorough and competent understanding ofthe play's comic structure, and does nothesitate to bend and adapt the work to fithis directoral designs. Mr. Beaird's bestwork is characterized by a keen un¬derstanding of visual humor and a snappy,occasionally frantic sense of timing thatnever permits the show to slow down. Theblocking was seldom boring and had a sheer physical energy that kept my at¬tention continually on stage.This show, as with Mr. Beaird'sproduction of The Merchant of Venice lastyear, concentrates or. the farcical aspectsof the play, paying little attention to itslyrical complexity. A few scenes, however,such as Orsino's vision of Olivia dressingat the beginning of the play, and themirror-image meeting of Sebastian andViola at the play's conclusion, showed thatMr. Beaird is not insensitive to the poeticnature of the piece. I only wish that he hadgiven his visual imagination greaterfreedom at the expense of his dramaticadrenalin, so that the production couldhave been beautiful, as well as funny.The cast was generally quite good, witha genuine feeling of ensemble unusual toChicago productions. Colleen Dodson asViola, in love with Orsino and disguised ashis servant Cesario, is affable andenergetic, avoiding the winsome melan¬choly that often accompanies the role.Nancy Syburg, as Olivia, plays her rolewith a sly sensuality and broad humor thatunderscores the farcical nature of theproduction. Leland Cooke is an energeticSir Toby Belch, Olivia's drunken uncle;and Karen Braga, as Sir AndrewAguecheek, Toby's drinking companion, isdelightfully naive and silly. Philip Hoff¬man is restrained, but competent, asOlivia's fool, Feste. John Green, asMalvolio, Olivia's egotistical andpuritanical counsellor, plays his role asbroadly comic as possible. Malvolio is, inmy opinion, one of the key roles in anyproduction of Twelfth Night, because hisportrayal determines the show's com¬plexity. There is no denying that he is oneof the great fools of English dramaticliterature, but his character has an ad¬dition ominous note of malice thatforeshadows the melodrama of such playsas Much Ado About Nothing. Mr. Greenignored this aspect of Malvolio'scharacter, thus his very funny per¬formance was devoid of any depth. GaryPrendergast, as Orsino, has a beef cake Troy Donahue quality that undercuts theusual sickly melancholy of the role.The permanent set, by James Maronek,is perfect for this very physicalShakespearean production. The lighting,by Michael Handler, deftly defines thevarious playing areas. The costumes, byLisa Lee Melkus and Lee Crooke, aresimple, unpretentious, effective, and fun,especially Olivia's slinky "Merry Widow"black velvet gown. The production's musicis well sung, a cappella, by Mr. Hoffman;recorded music, of such composers asHandel and "Royal Beatleworks" baroqueadaptations, is played before and after theshow and during the intermission.I once heard that the best way todetermine which shows a reviewer likes isto see which ones hp or she consistently reviews. For all Wisdom Bridge's faults, Itry to see all of their shows, since theyproduce the best classic drama in oraround Chicago. Their shows arecharacterized by an irreverent but in¬telligent appreciation for great theatre,and the productions are usually successfulwithin the very physical and farcicalconceptions of their director, DavidBeaird. For what it's worth, I think he isthe best director of Shakespeareancomedy in Chicago, as last year'sproduction of The Merchant of Venice andthis production of Twelfth Night demon¬strate.

A formerstudent of Hindemith and Nadia Boulanger, Mr.Blackwood has gained an international reputationas a composer, concert pianist and music theorist.Within the past year he's had a piano concertoperformed by the New York Philharmonic, aviolin sonata performed at a concert sponsored bythe Library of Congress (which will be performedagain, at Mandel Hall, this coming April 4th), andhas had some of his music that explores newmethods of tuning performed in Minneapolis.Right now the composer is working on a symphonySir Georg Solti requested be written for theChicago Symphony. In addition, Mr. Blackwoodhas three composition students, is the spokesmanfor the Committee of the College Council, and is anexpert on the monetary and political history of theUnited States.Q: i was wondering if you would comment on astatement made by Halsey Stevens themodern composer in the The ComposerMagazine, that no composer active now willstand the test of time.A: I doubt if he's right. It would certainly be thefirst time in music history to happen since theBaroque. I find it hard to imagine that com¬posers like Ned Rorem, Samuel Barber,Pierre Boulez, and Roger Sessions, AaronCopland, Hans Werner Henze, Elliot Carterwould be completely forgotten. I doubt thatthe avant-gardists, the aleatory and twelve-tone composers will have the same sizeaudience as Beethoven or Mozart, but theredoes exist a group of people who do genuinely just because I'm not interested in them.Q: Could a rock tune be as good as any classicalpiece?A: I don't think so. I think rock has a much morenarrow range of expression. The sentiments itexpresses are rather more animal thananything else, if you could call them sen¬timents.Q: How do rock and jazz songs differ fromclassical songs?A: The largest point of difference is the rhythmicorganization. The rhythmic organization ofpop music suggests sexual intercourse verydirectly. Now that's practically removed fromso-called classical music,' and I think onereason it's not there is because the moment itintrudes however, it overwhelms everything.That's really the reason why there's no suchthing as a fusion between jazz and classicalmusic or rock and classical music— themoment you inject the rhythm of jazz androck, you've got jazz and rock. If you wantmusic that expresses more subtle or moreuniversal things, you have to find some way toeliminate the obvious. And in another sense,the late Beethoven quartets get better marksthan Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony, becauseTchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony is expessingsomething more obvious and much morepersonally emotional. "Universal" is the wordused to describe Beethoven's music; he seemsto transcend his own self, and come up withmusic that's greater.Q: Is originality a factor in evaluating whether acomposer, or a piece of music deserves thedistinction of being "great”?A: I think not. J.S. Bach was not very original, at"When I compose I don't rationalize about it I simplymake it up as / go along. There's a process of selectionand judgement but I turn to my sense of right andwrong. / don't think it's possible to be a composer ifyou're a philosophical relativist because thereeverything is equally valid because it exists. As far asI'm concerned, artistic discrimination is the name ofthe game."appreciate atonal, dissonant music, and Idon't see their number either increasing ordiminishing, judging from my experiencesince 1948. Also, pieces like the Bartokquartets and Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaireare classics— their audiences are notrestricted to avant gardists or faddists; thesepieces get performed, the Rite of Spring ofStravinsky gets performed. The argumentused by the Schoenberg advocates thateverybody hates musical innovations at first,and gradually comes to accept them in thesame way that Mozart's or Beethoven'swere— that's not true. Atonal-dissonantpolyrhythmic music is much harder to learn,much harder to play, harder to listen to, moreesoteric, and it has a much smaller audience.The music doesn't tehd to express lovelysentiments, and I think that people will alwaysregard Pierrot Lunaire as an expression of aderanged kind of emotional outlook... but in away I believe that modern music has alreadywithstood the test of time.Q: You made a comment before the interview thatyou felt that rock and jazz are just as valid asmusical forms as classical music.A: I don't know if the word validity has any application here. They exist, and I pay very littleattention to both, since they're out of my field.But I don't have the desire to suppress them least as far as his style. He persisted in theolder style after the newer style had comealong and replaced the older. He treated theolder style in an original way, however. But hewas certainly conservative in the best sense ofthe word, anachronistic for that matter... Ihaven't noticed that anyone's poured coldwater on Alban Berg, since he verydeliberately tried to write in the style ofSchoenberg. And when Mozart, Beethovenand Haydn flattered each other by writingstring quartets, trying to imitate each other'sstyle, I don't think anyone complained abouthow unoriginal that was. There's good originalmusic, there's good unoriginal music; there'sgood radical music, and there's good conservative music.Q: If some composer today were to write in aMozartian idiom, could he ever be considered agenius ?A: I think it would depend on what he wrote...Idoubt very much that it's possible, because therewere too many things at the time Mozart wrotethat were not understood as they are understoodtoday, and we simply can't pretend that we don'tknow something we do know. There's really noway to recover a style that assumes that there donot exist connections between notes that today weknow do exist.4-Th« Grey City Journal-Friday, February 4,1977 Easley Blackv"The largest point of diiand classical music is therhythmic organization ofintercourse very directly,as a fusion between jaziclassical music — the morjazz and rock, you've go1music that expresses moryou have to find some wayQ: Given that there's less a feeling of universalityin modern music as there is in classical music,could a Mozart or Beethoven attain the samestature in the modern musical idiom ?A: What you're asking is whether the style that isaround today is essentially as expressive or asbeautiful as the style that was around in, shall wesay, 1775 to 1830. My guess is that the golden era ofmusical expression occurred somewhere between1775 and 1830. Now I wouldn't go so far as to saythat it's been downhill ever since, but I doubt verymuch that anything like what was going on at thattime could ever be achieved again, because theessence of the expressiveness of a style is howmany different functions a given note can have.What you want is a relatively small number ofnotes with a very large number of functionspossible for each note, and I believe that situationobtained in the period I mentioned before. If youinsist on using an organization of notes other thantonics, subdominants, dominants with associatedmodulations and so on, you're going to find thatyou cannot put forth some casual number oforganization of notes that seems to be analogous tothe one that describes what's commonly calledtraditional harmony, and say, "you see, here'sanother number organization of the notes — thisone sounds like that one, only different." It's notso. The organization of the notes into chords andscales and the circle of fifths says something, Ithink, very basically about brain chemistry, andyou're dealing with a question that's best handledby biopsychology. I'm sure it will be discoveredthat there is a natural propensity of the brain toanalyze music in this way; and to postulate thatthere might be some other interval besides anoctave where you call the two notes forming theinterval by the same name is just to deny reality.So I find myself stuck right now in a curioussituation: I work in a style that's less expressivethan another style that I know, and yet I can'treturn to the former style because I rationalize toomuch about it.Q: So what do you do about it?A: You just do the best you can with what youhave. What we have is either the same old twelvenotes, or if you want to expand beyond that — andthat's my real specialty right now — you eitherhave to organize the existing notes in other waysthat make some kind of a musical sense, or elseyou have to try to find analogous organizations tothose mysterious forces of traditional harmonythat might exist in some other organization ofpitches rather than twelve note equal tuning. Now,I am persuaded that there is no way to do thelatter. I feel fhat the organization of the sevendiatonic notes is unique.Q: When was twelve note equal tuning invented?A: It was not invented, it was discovered. Itgradually evolved through a process of trial anderror. I think it was pretty firmly cemented intoperformance practice by the middle 1820's.0: So Bach's music might have sounded dif¬ferent... A: It probably did.differences are subsnoticeable.

After Bartok died, hisuential, especially his string quartets.The thing that finally sent the whole business onthe road to uniformity, blandness if you will, wasStravinsky's conversion to twelve tone music.Once you unified the Stravinskyites and thetwelve tonists, who previous to that had reallyloathed each other not only artistically but per¬sonally besides, you found yourself in a verystrong movement...Stravinsky's conversion hadan absolutely electric effect on both Stravinskyand Schoenberg advocates, and for a good ten-year period these two forces marched hand inhand. Again, the Cage advocates were never veryfar away. Suddenly people who hadn't been sure ofwhich direction music should go felt much moreconfident about the unifying trend, since these twoold warring factions were suddenly in some kindharmony. So that the moment that there was nomore opposition from the Stravinskyites, thetwelve-tonists suddenly dominated everything.This condition continued until there was anothersevere disruption of the integrity of the creativecommunity, that is, the upheaval associated withthe Viet Nam War. At that point the aleatorists,the real avant guardists, began to win it all awayfrom the serialists. Due to the nature of things oncampuses in this country, support went to veryfar-out things, and we're just recovering from thatnow. Right now it's leaderless, there are no giantson the scene, but if there's anyone regarded as theleader of American music, or anything of that sortit might be Elliot Carter. I think the main reasonfor this momentary infatuation is that he is aninteresting example of a man who was con¬servative in his youth, and has become radical inhis old age — this appeals especially to a certainkind of philosophical outlook that you associateWith New York City. Carter has never tried to usehis influence to create a new school — he's not agood teacher — but he, along with Milton Babbitt,has had a leading influence over the last 15 years.Q: How would you characterize your music?A: It's on the brink of atonality. It's half in thetonal world, half in the atonal world. In fact, whenI'm composing, I don't rationalize about it; it'sstrictly an intuitive process. I simply make it upas I go along. There's a process of selection andjudgment, but if you ask me to say just what theprocess is, the only thing I can say is that it turnson my sense of right and wrong. I don't think it'spossible to be a composer if you're a philosophicalrelativist, because as far as a philosophicalrelativist is concerned, everything is equally validjust because it exists. As far as I'm concerned,artistic discrimination is the name of the game.Q: Then there are unconscious rules...A: There are certainly consistencies beingfollowed on an unconscious level. But I wouldn'teven want to describe what those things are,because in the process of describing them, I wouldonly simplify matters...certain things defy ex-planation^-and I think that that's where Hin¬demith went wrong. He felt that your music is only valid if you could describe precisely just what youwere doing and why you were doing it.Q: Could you differentiate between what youmean when you use the terms 'atonal' and 'non-tonal?'A: Atonal means strict avoidance of not only tonalconnections, but also uses of sound that occur intonal music, such as triads or diminished seventhchords. Non-atonal non tonal music can usematerials that might be used by tonal composers,but puts them into a context where they don't in anormal way imply the existence of major andminor keys and modulations, which is more thananything else what I am doing right now. I havenever been a purely tonal composer, and I have onoccasion written works which were as atonal as Icould make them.Q: It's my impression that the symphonic mediumis the main way for composers to reach a sizeableaudience. Is this true?A: I don't think so. A composer's audience is hisperformers. If performers like your music, youget performance. Performers continue to performas long as their audiences will listen, andaudiences will listen to a certain amount of con¬temporary music. Beyond that they will not go. Ithink it's worse than useless, I think it's fatuous, totry to force something upon them that they do notwant, or something that they will take only a smallamount of in too large a dose. You make enemiesthat way. I think performers perform my musicbecause it stimulates them, but they don't per¬form it to ingratiate themselves with theiraudiences. Performers look around for pieces thatmake their instruments sound good, that are fun toplay and that provide interesting problems forthem. Q: Would you care to mention the names of a fewtwentieth century composers who might be con¬sidered to approach the stature of a Mozart or aBeethoven?A: We have a different situation now. Sincetoday's style is less natural, since it's more in¬clined to express a very narrow range of ratherviolent feelings, I think you'll find that goodcomposers are composing fewer great works,proportionally, than they used to.0: The music's too hard to control ?A: It's largely that, I would guess. Now considereven Mozart or Beethoven, — although they'regreat composers, you can't say that every workthey wrote is a great work. Mozart had a goodbatting average on that; I think that certainlytwenty per cent of his works are great. In the caseof Beethoven, maybe a quarter of them — he didquite well, but there are some that are really notvery good. Not all the piano sonatas are great.Now when you get to composers like Brahms,already I think you'd find a lower incidence ofgreat works. I don't believe you'd find more thanfifteen or twenty great works of Brahms at themost, and some of those would be fairlv ohsmrpQ: Some people have made the claim that throughincreased technology, more records, and in¬creased tourism that there is an overall blandnessto international modern music...A: Well that's the case of the stuff that gets theattention. The tastemakers in contemporarymusic now are a very narrow, opinionated littleclique. They confuse style and substance. Theysimply reject out of hand a piece in a style thatthey don't like."The union of the Stravinskyites and the twelve-tonistsdominated everything until there was another severedisruption of the integrity of the creative community,the upheaval of the Viet Nam War. At that point thealeatorists, the real avant-gardists, began to win it allaway from the serialists. Due to the nature of thingson campuses in this country, support went to very far-out things, and we're fust recovering from that now." iQ: When Shostakovich came to Chicago a fewyears back, you were invited to bring a tape ofyours to play for him, with a few other Chicagocomposers...A: Yes.Q: What sort of comments did he make afterlistening to your music?A: He observed in a rather interesting way that Iwas obviously closely attached to harmony. I toldhim that he was certainly on the mark there, sinceI've been a harmony teacher for eighteen years.One thing he said that was very direct and veryflattering, was that he said he liked the piece.Then I wanted to find out if he had found any flawsin it (there were a couple of places where I wasn'tentirely certain myself), and he said that hecouldn't detect any, but that he couldn't allowhimself to make a judgement just on the basis ofone hearing. I'll say this though, of all themusicians I've ever met, I believe, in referencejust to his ability to perceive the meaning ofmusic, how the composer put it together, whatmakes it tick, he is certainly unexcelled in thatregard. I think the only other person I've met thathas the same sort of sensitivity is NadiaBoulanger. I'm not only speaking in reference towhat he said about my piece, but also what he hadto say about the other two composers who playedpieces of theirs as well. He could tell exactly underwhich esthetic criteria they had been created Q: Is the University of Chicago a good en¬vironment for a composer? Do you believe itfos ters crea tivity ?A: No, I don't think it does, and I think I composein spite of it. The University ot Chicago fosterscriticism especially in the humanities. A critic ismore likely to be promoted than a creative person,critics have easier access to research monies, andso on... And the journals that come out of this placein the humanities are largely journals ofcriticism...Few people encourage composers,anyway.Q: What about the University's music depart¬ment?A; It's full of individualists. It's got good people init, but not marching in unison, mind you. Thedepartment is exempt from my comment aboutthe Humanities department — we have noprogram for criticism here.Q: Today there's no more room for harmonicinnovation in music...we should have been bornearlier...A: That's right. We re living in a bad age Weshould all have been nineteen in 1815.Editor s Note: Just a reminder that Mr. Black- !wood's Violin Sonata will be performed at MandelHall on Apnl 4th.The Grey City Journal-Friday, February 4, 1977-5By Karen HellerAdmission for International House,NAM, the Debating Society and weekendCEF and Doc films is $1.50. On weekdays,CEF and Doc tickets are $1.00. Doc, CEF,the Debating Society and NAM films willbe shown in Cobb hall. All InternationalHouse films will be shown in I Houseauditorium.Robin and Marian (1975), directed byRichard Lester. (Doc) Maid Marian(Audrey Hepburn), Robin Hood (SeanConnery) and his merry men rejoin forcesin their august years to combat thatvenomous villain, the Sheriff of Not¬tingham (Robert Shaw). Although in printthe casting seems perfect, particularlyunder the deft directorial hand of DickLester, the film falls way short of ex¬pectations. Much of the problem lies in thescript, which is neither witty, charming, orinteresting. Friday at 7:15 and 9:30.The Kid (1921) and The Idle Class (1921),directed by Charles Chaplin. (CEF) TheKid is Chaplin's most celebrated earlyfilm. Charlie has an abandoned childthrust upon him and rears the kid as if he were his own. The punk (Jackie Coogan)becomes a little tramp. With Chaplin'sleading woman, Edna Purviance, and hisfavorite menacing policeman, TomWilson.The Idle Class is a two-reeler which, likemost of the Chaplin comedies, doesn'tconcern itself much with a story. It's mainpurpose is to give Chaplin a chance tocontrast two characters - a wealthy fopand a foppish tramp. Both at 7:15 and 9:30.The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie(1972), directed by Luis Bunuel. (I House)I'm not sure I understand why this film isbeing shown on campus for the fourth timein two years (this is the third time it hasbeen shown at I House) but whatever thepublic wants, it rightfully deservesBunuel's film, which is about eating,planning to eat, starting to eat and eating.The film is appetizing the first time, stillspicy the second, somewhat tasty the thirdbut four times is a little too filling for eventhe hardiest film gourmand. Saturday at7:00 and 9:30Weekend (1968), directed by Jean-LucGodard. (Doc) A fantastic film in which all of life becomes a weekend in a cataclysmictraffic jam. There are plot fragments atthe beginning, betrayals, dire conspiraciesto murder, detailed, intimate (and highlycomic) sexual anecdotes. Mirlelle Dareand Jean Yanne play a couple, who, likerefugees from the world of Beckett, arealways in search of a gas station or a townto stay in. The movie is interspersed withlittle essays, jokes, a Mozart sonata, afrantic love song sung by Jean PierreLeaud in a telephone booth, punning flashcards. Recommended. Sunday at 7:15 and9:30 in Kent 107.The Paper Chase. (The ChicagoDebating Society) Timothy Bottoms is anoverworked, overpressured student atHarvard Law school (though he could be astudent at Chicago, or anywhere). He fallsin love with Lindsay “Bionic Woman"Wagner, whose father happens to be thetoughest prof in the law school. Sunday at7:15 and 9:30.Blow for Blow (NAM) is a dramatizedversion of a successful strike and occupation by women of a French textilefactory. Originally the occupation is in¬tended to force the company to rehire twoworkers fired as “agitators," but asnegotiations stall the women becomedetermined to force the company torelinquish all forms of manipulation andcontrol over their lives. The workerseventually hold the factory owner in hisoffice and treat him as he had treatedthem: no eating, no smoking, no sleeping,no pissing... blow for blow.The film is the collective product ofnearly 100 people, in which everyone waspaid the same, $300 a month. Decisionsabout shooting, content, dialogue, etc.were reached democratically, and eachscene was video-taped and played back todemystify film technology. The result wasa filmmaking process in many ways ametaphor for the story.Also show: Our Cities, Our Right, ashort, narrated by Henri Lefebvre.

(Doc) Ruby, a sultry brunette, bornon the wrong side of the tracks, is over¬powered by her continuing love for BoakeTackman, scion of decaying bluebloodNorth Carolina clan who won't allow himself to go the way of his forbears.Despite the heroine's marriage to Gentry,the town's richest citizen, and BoakeTack-man's liason with a woman who is hissocial equal, the town continues to whisperabout the two. Jennifer Jones as Ruby,Charlton Heston as Boake, and KarlMalden as Gentry, are all very good.Tuesday at 7:30.Ruggles of Red Gap (1935), directed byLeo McCarey. (Doc) Mamaduke Ruggles(Charles Laughton), the proper gen¬tleman's gentleman becomes the propertyof Egbert Floud (played by CharlesRuggles - whose name added confusion tothe viewers and critics of the time) as theresult of a poker session in Paris.

(CEF) Emil Jannings stars as anold hotel doorman who is proud of his postand the coat and cap that comes with it.His salute is military and his pride regal.One day he is replaced by a younger manand demoted to wash-room attendant.There are not titles in this film, merely afew inserts to guide us, and yet are wenever in doubt about the action in thisremarkable film. Beautifully directed,photographed and acted. Thursday at 8:00.Lady Sings the Blues (1972), directed bySidney J. Furie. (I House) Diana Rossstars as Billie Holiday in this supposedfilm biography. The film is well-done andDiana Ross is a lot better than I expected, but it is a fraud in terms of theactual Holiday story, and just adds moreto the myth. Billy Dee Williams is a littletoo leading-man-perfect. Diana Ross in¬dulges in "Streisandism," the self-glorification of her own presence ratherthan the film's subject. Still, she's got anice set of pipes but they're nothinqcompared with Holiday's. Thursday at7:00 and 9:45.Films by ChicagoansBy Jeff TwissA number of U. of C. students have ex¬pressed a desire to see films made byartists at the School of the Art Institute.Last December, I invited Tony Phillips,the Director of the Art Institute FilmDepartment, to prepare a program offilms that could be shown at U. of C. He hascomplied with my request, and CEF willpresent the films at 7:30 pm on Wed¬ Couzin's Roseblood is a brilliant exampleof clay-figure animation.It was only after the program was overthat I noticed my reaction to it was dif¬ferent than my reaction to most movies.Instead of reflecting on the story of themovie, I was thinking about the "goodparts" in the diferent films.Mel Brooks once said, “The most dif¬ficult part of making a movie is punchingthe little holes in the side of the film." I Soap Operas(continued from page 1)for this town: The answer is yes. "All MyChildren" has had an ongoing courtshipnesday, February 9, in Kent 107.In an attempt to prepare potentialfilmgoers for what might happen, I askedMr. Phillips if I could preview the filmsand report to the U. of C. community.Again, he agreed with my request(delightful man!), with the advice that I"try to imagine an eye unruled by man¬made laws of perspective, an eye un¬prejudiced by compositional logic, an eyewhich must know each object encounteredin life through a new adventure of perception. Try to imagine a world alive withincomprehensible objects and shimmeringwith an endless variety of movement andgradations of color. Imagine a . worldbefore the beginning was the word."I told him I would try to keep this inmind. Try as I might, however, I wasunable to shake off my Aristotelian frameof reference. Despite the fact that the thought this was especially applicable toGeorge Landow's film "Film in whichthere appear edge-lettering, sprocketholes, dirt particles, etc." The specialattention Landow pays to the aspects offilm that most of us take for granted hasresulted in a wonderful fim that can alsocall our attention to those neglectedaspects.Tom Franzen's Untitled Film appliespatches of lightness and darkness andvariations in color to the screen in amanner similar to the way a painter ap¬plies paint to a canvas. Franzen's canvasis not frozen in time, however; it is acontinually shifting, moving object in theact of transforming itself.The two films byTony Phillips — Inertia and Last Sup¬per/Second Coming also seemed to showthe influences of a background in painting. between Tara and Phil who have been everfaithful and forever separated since theshow began, seven years ago. The twolovebirds were finally married during theholiday season. But never fear, Tara's son,little Phillip, doesn't like his new father,who, incidentally is his biological father,and their long-awaited union is off to adisastrous start."Ryan's Hope", unlike other day-timedramas, doesn't take place in a small towndevoid of minority members. Set in NewYork, the soap centers on a good, largeIrish Catholic family, in the true Kennedyfashion, but without money. The Ryans areall incestuously intertwined with theColeridges (two good sisters, one badbrother), and suddenly the Big Apple is assmall and intimate as Pine Valiev.Like other dramas, doctors andhospitals play a large part in the world of"Ryan's Hope," but lawyers andpoliticians are also an important part ofthe scheme. Delia, the Ryans' nemesis,recently switched her attention from olderbrother Frank to young doctor, Pat.Because it is a new drama, (slightly olderthan a year) the actors are younger andprettier than in the conventional soaps.Many of the actors on "All My Children"are in their '30's and '40's and on the ar¬chaic "General Hospital," much of thecast is well into middle age.Many of the actors in day-time dramasare very talented. Since most are filmed inNew York, theater and film actors haveoften gotten their first big breaks on soaps.Even if we don't take the shows seriously,the actors do. The actresses who portrayErica and Phoebe on "All My Children "and Delia and Mary on "Ryan's Hope "are more talented than most of the ac¬tresses who appear during prime time. The sheer ludicrous nature of the soapopera is consuming and comforting, andthe complexities of the relationshipsengrossing. Story lines are much harder topredict than with a standard melodrama,in which each segment destined to endhappily. Soaps are comforting becausethey ridicule everyday worries; in fact, togain a proper perspective on minor painand tension I can't recommend anythingmore soothing, because impending papers,difficult courses and declining grades allseems so trivial compared with theexaggerated traumatic worlds of "All MyChildren's" Pine Valley and “Ryan'sHope's" New York.The more attentively I watched thesecontinuing dramas, the higher my regardfor their dramatic form. I feel securecomprehending so many people'scharacters and lives without being immersed in them, because I am concernedbut not worried, involved but not confused:somehow everything will work out. Thiskind of power and control is rarely at¬tainable in the real world, since it isseldom we can know all the thoughts andsecrets of our friends and colleagues. Soapoperas allow us to see the entire picture.Above, removed, and superior in ourunderstanding, we are like an omnicentdiety, judging but not being judged.Soap operas, a melodramtic form,achieve an equilibrium between the simpleand common and the complex and unreal.They are simple because the emotions,though exaggerated, are shared by theviewer; common because the charactersare readily indentifiable their stereotypedemotions. Day-time dramas are complexbecause of sheer number of charactersand their ongoing dilemas; they are unrealprogram consisted of 12 short films by 9filmmakers, I kept perceiving it as anorganic whole. The exposition was set outin the opening group of films by GeorgeLandow. These films are purelydescriptions of the basic elements of filmcomposition. Next, John Luther's film Diebrings these elements into a clashing,roaring conflict with each other. I detecteda fatal flaw midway through the followingfilm—Tom Brener's Tilotone Study No. 1;it was putting me to sleep. I woke up intime for a sudden realization: Sharon John Luther's Die was the one film thatstands out the strongest in my reflections.The structure of the film is somewhatanalogous to the structure of a symphony.The film begins with quiet, forma!imagery, then a rhythmic element is in¬troduced through a series of rapid cuts.The activity begins to take on momentum,images plunge across the screen from leftto right, finally reaching a crescendo andthen descending again to restful quietude.I was at least partially satisfied by oneexplanation for Luther's technical skill —he has a Ph.D. in physics from Berkeley.6-Th# Cray City Journal-Friday, February 4,1977'»• .jjobfcl-lorvwoi ywO s/IT because they are so beautifully and absurdly interrelated to present a completepanorama of a community.CalendarFridayMiddle East Studies Center: Facuity -Student Lunch, 12:15pm, East Lounge, IdaNoyes; Ha-Sadnah, 2pm, Pick 118; ArabicCircle, 3:30 p.m., Pick 218; Persian Society,3:30pm, Pick 118; Sherry Hour, 4:30, Kelly413.Hillel: Adat Shalom Shabbat Dinner, 6 pm,Hillel; Bayit Shabbat Dinner, 6pm, 5458South Everett, Bayit; Creative Services,7:30pm, Hillel.International House Association:Travelogue on Greece, 8pm, InternationalHouse.Folkdancers: 8pm, Ida Noyes Hall.Bahai: Informal discussion, 8pm, Ida NoyesCrossroads: Restaurant outing, SouthAmerican cuisine, meet at Crossroads, 6pm.Hillel: “Capital Punishment in JewishLaw,’’ Rabbi Moshe Meiselman, 8:30pm,Hillel.Young Socialist Alliance: “The DeathPenalty, Justice or Ultimate Injustice?”James Swonson, Illinois Coalition Againstthe Death Penalty, and Andrew Pulley,8pm, 1515 E. 52nd PI., rm. 301.Center for Latin American Studies: “TheTransition to Independence in LatinAmerica,” Tulio Halperin Donghi, 1:30pm,Pick Lounge.Department of Economics: EconomicHistory workshop, “Price and RationControl During World War II and theconsumer Price Index,” Hugh Rockoff,3:30pm, SS 106; Econometrics workshop,“Off-Farm Employment of Farm Operators:A Progress Report with Preliminary Em¬pirical Results,” Dan Sumner, 4-5:30pm,Cobb 102.ArtsBergman Gallery: ‘‘Court TheatreCostumes,” opening 4:30-6:30pm, Bergman Gallery, 4th floor Cobb Hall.

FEB. 6COBB 7:15 9:30 $1.5016-The Chicago Maroon Friday, February 4,T9>/Gym cramps gymnasticsTerry Bartholomew, part of the gym- parallel bars. (photo by Philip Grew)nasties club, works out on the unevenSwim team drops twoBy DAVID RIESERGymnastics has been having a mixedyear on campus.Because the field house is beingrenovated the basketball team has beenpracticing in Bartlett, which strikinglycuts down on the room to practice gym¬nastics. Right now all the apparatus isbeing used where it used to be stor2d:between the backboard and south wall.This seems to have had a bad effect onthe men’s gymnastic team. They have yetto be able to field a full squad. Much of theincoming talent, both freshmen andveteran, refused to play under thecramped and hazardous conditions.Presently the team has a 0-11 record thesaving grace being some fine individualperformances. Third-year student JohnConnelly placed fifth in the pommel horseat the DuPage Invitational and looks toqualify for the national meet in that event.Senior Izzie Reyes took seventh in therings and may try for the big meet in thatevent, as well as the parallel bars. Reyesmissed qualifying in the bars last year by.1 point.Wayne Hardin, Steve Pruitt, and SteveThomas fill out the squad but don’t have alot of experience.Coach Bill Simms is generally resignedto this year’s fate, as well as chances forimprovement next year after the teamgets their gym back.“These guys have 45 minutes to work outwithout interference from the basketballteam,’’ he said, “otherwise they have toworry about dismounting and landing on abasketball. Next year, we’ll see. If we have interest we’ll have a men’s team. If not, wewon’t.No matter what, the campus will not bewithout a gymnastics team. The women’sgymnastics club does not seem botheredby the basketballs and members and in¬terest in that group have been growing.Right now the club numbers about 40,including 30 undergraduates.Surprisingly, there has never been awomen’s gymnastics team, but by nextyear that might change. “I’m enthusedabout the women,” said Simms, who isalso their coach. “There are a lot of in¬termediate gymnasts coming out of highschool with nowhere to go. The Universityshould be able to provide a program forthem.”Right now his goal for next year is tohave two varsity teams, an intermediateand a beginner, and to take the in¬termediate squad to the state tournament.For talent he has 14 women with someexperience and about 10 with none at all.He will be taking the squad to some AAUmeets in the spring, and is busy setting upmeets for next year.There may be some problems achievingvarsity status, however. The rule is thatinterest has to be expressed for threeyears before a club can become a varsityteam. Also the women are lacking someapparatus, namely a blance beam.But the Coach says he’ll find a way.“Anyway it goes, we’ll have a program.”The men will be having a home meet thisweekend as they take on the College ofDuPage. The meet will be held thisSaturday at Bartlett Gym and will start at1:00. By FRANK MERRIWELLThe promised new era of swimming hasnot yet quite materialized.Wednesday afternoon the men’s teamextended their record to 1-4, dropping bothmeets of a double-dual, losing 61-51 to IITand 65-46 to North Park College.Coach Bill Vendl had little commentabout the meet. “Six guys swam theirslowest times ever and three swam theirfastest. What can you say?”Backstroker Eric Lindbloom was one ofthose who had a good day. Lindbloom ledoff a winning Medlay relay team with a 100yard backstroke leg that was less than asecond away from the team record. Hewent on to equal his personal best in the 200back, later that afternoon.Charlie Hurst had a good time in thebreaststroke, as did Mike Rabin who ex¬tended himself for a fine race in the 200 fly.Other winners in the meet included Wayne Hooper who won the 1000 yardfreestyle overall and beat IIT in the 500free. Dave Kravell took first overall in the50 free.One problem the team has been havinghas been a perennial problem for anyChicago swim team and that is lack ofgood divers. This lack is directly con¬nected to the lack of good diving facilities.The Bartlett board is terrible, and becauseof the shape of the pool area goes acrossthe pool instead of facing the length.%To document the problem Vendl hascome up with a wonderfully uselessstatistic: if diving had been eliminated sixyears ago the team’s record would be 52-12instead of 31-33.The team will have it’s next meet athome this Saturday. They will be taking onthe University of Missouri, which is onlyknown as being “new and fairly good.”The meet will be held at Bartlett and willstart at 10:00.SportsMABthe nightclubpresentsBen Sidranformerly the keyboard player withthe Steve Miller Band; brings jazzto Ida Noyes Hall atTHE NIGHTCLUBopening the show will be TONYBIRD a folksinger from Malawi whorecently received a great deal ofattention in The Village Voice.
