UNIVERSITY ARCHIVESFAC EX60637voi. bo, no. 3/DSC Hum group faces icago Maroonf ne university of Chicago Friday, February 18,1977Law professor challenges Illinoisuncertain future afterSwenson's non-renewalBy DAN WISEThe student ombudsman isgathering information to deter¬mine whether there are sufficientgrounds to ask for a review of thedecision to terminate the ap¬pointment of William Swenson,assistant professor of humanitiesin the College and the humanitiesdivision.That decision sparked studentprotest and prompted concern overthe future of the Disciplines of theHumanities (DSC Hum) un¬dergraduate program, whereSwenson handles much of theteaching.Swenson, who was notified inDecember that his assistantprofessorial appointment wouldnot be renewed beyond the end ofSeptember, is the only facultymember who works full-time withthe DSC Hum committee. Theother 12 faculty members on thecommittee hold appointments inother departments.Responding to student inquiries,ombudsman Virginia Blanfordasked Provost D. Gale Johnson toreview Swenson’s case in light ofstudent evaluations, probably thefirst time that the ombudsman’soffice has involved itself in thecase of a faculty appointment.Johnson said he would notrecommend reconsideration of thecase and that “high studentopinion” of Swenson’s teachinghad already been weighed.Academic appointments areconsidered by the collegiatedivision, and subsequently by the graduate division which holds theappointment before a finaldecision is reached by the Provost.Swenson was dismissed after hisfirst three year term as anassistant professor. After this firstterm, Swenson could have beenoffered another term as anassistant professor or promoted toassociate professor, with orwithout tenure.Swenson was named an assistantprofessor in 1974 after receivinghis doctorate. He was hired as aninstructor in 1970.Blanford said her office is nowconsidering whether there is newinformation which could be used tosupport another request forreview. She emphasized that heroffice has not taken an advocatoryrole in the case and insisted thather actions have merely been inline with the duties of her office.“Our purpose is to respond tostudent concerns,” she said, in¬dicating that she has had inquiriesfrom “four or five students whowere deeply concerned whoseemed to represent a largernumber of students.”Swenson handles the bulk of theteaching in the Disciplines of theHumanities (DSCHum) program,teaching a required three coursesequence and leading a seminarfor seniors writing their bachelor’spapers.One committee member calledSwenson the “backbone” of theprogram. This quarter, Swenson iscarrying a three course teachingload.Swenson to 3City, UC police team up“Have you got your ears on?” Chicago cops get new radio thatmonitors University Security calls.

The law also requires the disclosure of the in¬come of family members. Casper’s wife is a state employee who earnsover $20,000. (Photo courtesy PI office)By CAROL SWANSONGerhard Casper, Max Pamprofessor of law and professor ofpolitical science at the University,is suing the State Board of Ethicsand former Governor Dan Walkerover a financial disclosure policywhich requires state employeeswith incomes over $20,000 a year todisclose their own and theirspouse's income.Casper’s wife, Dr. ReginaCasper, co-plaintiff in the suit,earns more than $20,000 a year as apsychiatrist employed by the state.Filed late in the fall of 1975, theirsuit is now pending in ChicagoDistrict Federal Court where athree judge panel recently par¬tially denied the state’s latestmove to dismiss charges.The State’s Attorney has 20 daysto answer these denials. However,the court also ruled against Casperon several issues in the case. “Asthings look now,” Casper said, “Onthe points we lost, we would appealto the Supreme Court of the UnitedStates.” However, the appeal mustawait a final ruling by the FederalDistrict Court and it is unclearwhen this decision will be made.Executive Order No. 4, issued byWalker in 1973, also requiresfinancial disclosure by all ap¬pointees of the governor and by all7 state employes whose position issubject to undue influence.To comply with this order. Dr.Casper must publicly disclose theincome and economic associationsnot only of herself but of her spouseand other family members.Casper says that this is agovernment intrusion into privacyand that there is no substantialrelation between the governmentalinterest of “increasing the publictrust” and the disclosure of theinformation. Casper argues thathis wife “does not hold a positionsubject to undue influence of any kind,” and that the $20,000 a yearrequirement is entirely arbitrary.Further, Casper says that therights of a third party, theUniversity, are threatened by theorder. The University’s policy ofkeeping faculty salaries con¬fidential is in conflict with theorder because Casper mustpublicly disclose his income.Casper says that this willjeopardize the economicassociations of the University,even though the University has nodirect connection to the stateemployee.Casper has also cited in¬consistencies in the state law. Nostate act requires faculties at stateuniversities to disclose their in¬comes. Yet. says Casper, “theexecutive order requires a professor at a private university todisclose publicly all his financialaffairs regardless of the fact thathis teaching and researchresponsibilities extend to preciselythose delicate matters — govern¬ment, jurisprudence, and politics— w’hich are the main concerns ofacademic freedom and the FirstAmmendment.”Casper’s suit is now the onlychallenge to Executive Order No.4. According to a spokesman forthe State Board of Ethics, since1973 when Walker ordered thisfinancial disclosure, only a“handful” of employees havechosen to leave their jobs ratherthan comply.Casper to 3Kirsten named chairmanSearch for Pritzker dean beginsBy STEPHEN COHODESThe biological sciences divisionhas chosen a six-man searchcommittee to begin the formalprocess of selecting a successor toDaniel Tosteson. former dean ofthe Pritzker school of medicineand vice-president for the medicalcenter.Nearly 30 candidates are underconsideration by the committee,Werner H.

TheCommittee tried to persuade him to change his mind—and we had asked him, before hewas elected, to postpone his retirement as President at least until 1980. TheTrustees acknowledge a great debt to him for having taken on work he did not seek andfor having done it magnificently.

Smith, master of the Human¬ities collegiate division, to consider alter¬natives.Impending retirementsCompounding the staffing problem is theretirement this June of Meyer Isenberg,professor of humanities, who delayed hisscheduled retirement last year to continueteaching for one year. Two other committeemembers, Warner Wick, William RaineyHarper professor in the College andprofessor of philosophy and Leonard Olsen,professor of Humanities and a recentQuantrell award winner, both retire in twoyears.Administrators recognize the problem butsay it is up to the committee members tostaff the course offerings or to alter theprogram in order to fit the time limitationsof the committee members.College dean Charles Oxnard, who wouldnot comment specifically on the terminationsaid only that “The matter of the future ofthe program is up to the faculty on thatcommittee.”Humanities collegiate division masterSmith criticized the DSCHum committee forrelying too heavily on the teaching of onefaculty member.“They’ve got a rather large number offaculty associated with it but they haveallowed a single individual to carry the bulkof the program.“I have real problems with a programthat allows itself to be dependent on oneperson,” he said.“My view is that they are deeplydepressed about what has happened butthey are just going to have to do the kind of thinking that any kind of program has todo.”Playe has been trying to recruit help fromother faculty but he says it hasn’t been easy.“All you can do is go around, hat in hand.It’s tough because we are a committee andother faculty have obligations to theirdepartments.” He said the financial squeezeand overall staffing problems mean thatfaculty face increased burdens within theirown departments and are unwilling to ex-Casper from 1There have been, however, about 1100objections to procedure and five court suitschallenging the order. In 1974, the U.S.Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal ofa decision supporting Executive Order No.4’s constitutionality.Walker argues that “in today’s climate,we must bend over backward to restorepublic confidence in government.” Inresponse to the charge that this orderconstitutes an invasion of privacy, Walkersaid that “the public’s right to disclosure ismore important than the individual’s rightto privacy,” and that “there is no right to astate job.”Walker said that if a state employee doesnot wish to comply, he can find employmentelsewhere and that the order applies toCasper as it would apply to any stateuniversity professor married to a stateemployee.Fulfilling promises made during hiscampaign, Governor James Thompson hasappointed a six member commission toreview the financial disclosure provisions ofExecutive Order No. 4. Casper, testifying ata hearing recently held in Chicago, urgedThompson to revise the order which heclaims “sweeps much too broadly.”In concluding his testimony, he declared,“It is precisely when fashions, such as thedemand for bringing everything out into thesunshine, pervade the country that we haveto be most watchful of minority rights.Though it may be surprising to some, thefact of the matter is that even governmentemployees and their families can become aharassed minority. A society which claimsto be both civil and humane must respectprivacy.” tend their commitments.“Some of the problems we’re facing (thefaculty as a whole) are brand new,” Playesaid.Swenson was unwilling to speculate on thereason why his contract was not renewedand was unsure how the committee wouldA six member search committee has beenelected to find a successor to outgoingCollege dean Charles Oxnard, who willleave the post in June.Knox Hill, secretary of the faculties, saidthat 250 ballots were submitted for thesearch committee election, a larger turnoutthan usual.“Both in the nomination process and thesearch committee election, the facultyshowed a very great interest,” he said.Oxnard, who has been dean since 1973,announced early in January that he wasstepping down as dean a year before thetraditional five-year term was up because ofa desire to return to research inevolutionary biology. Oxnard was master ofthe biological sciences collegiate divisionfor a year before he became dean. “Fiveyears as an administrator are enough,”A student-faculty committee, to be ap¬pointed by College dean Charles Oxnard,will study the feasibility of a plus-minusgrading policy and is expected to makerecommendations to the College council bythe end of the academic year.The College council, which met for thefirst time this quarter on Tuesday, approvedthe formation of an advisory committeewhich would investigate the feasibility anddesirability of a plus-minus grading system.The proposal, broached late last quarter,l would give professors the option of recor- readjust itself following his departure at theend of the academic year.“It is clear that the committee is going tochange — and change significantly,” heremarked, “but never underestimate thevitality and inventiveness of the Universityand its faculty.”Oxnard said when announcing hisresignation.Hill, tabulated ballots from the Collegefaculty for the committee Wednesday andannounced the election of the followingprofessors to the search panel:•Loma Straus, dean of students in theCollege; College at large.•John Westley, professor of biochemistry;biological sciences.•Warner Wick, William Rainey Harperprofessor in the College and department ofphilosophy; humanities.•Wendy Olmsted, assistant professor,Committee on Ideas and Methods; NewCollegiate division.• Norman Nachtrie, professor ofchemistry; physical sciences.•Keith Baker, associate professor ofhistory and master of social sciencescollegiate division; social sciences.ding plusses or minuses counting one-thirdof a gradepoint on letter grades.The plan met with vocal student op¬position last quarter.A petition, circulated by StudentGovernment, bearing 400 signatures waspresented at the last meeting of the CollegeCouncil autumn quarter in opposition to theplan.The council was reported to be evenlydivided on the issue and the formation of astudy committee was a compromiseallowing more time for discussion.College committee looks for deanStudent-faculty committeeto consider plus - minus gradingMAKE SURE YOU GET<5l) c Jfeltr fjork SmitesON SUNDAY MORNINGHAVE IT HOME DELIVERED.Only $1.50Starting Feb. 27th you can have the Sunday New York Timesdelivered to your door.

Inflation has beena severe drain on the financial resources of theUniversity, particularly in a period whendeclines in outside funding and the recessionhave cut into the University’s total income.Prices paid by the University increased 46.7percent between 1970-71 and 1976-77, and the realvalue of restricted and unrestricted ex¬penditures have declined by approximately 9.5percent.During this period, tuition fees have played amajor role in paying for the University’sprograms— tuition income supports ap¬proximately half of the unrestricted ex¬penditures.Along with inflation, tuition has gone updramatically. College tuition, which hasremained relatively lower than tuition in otherdivisions of the University, has gone up by $1,075over the last six years. But when inflation istaken into account the increase is eight dollars.Even with the pressures of inflation, the tuitionincreases represent a big risk. A major goal ofUniversity policy since 1972-73 has been to in¬crease enrollment from that year’s 7,365 to over8,000 by this year. This year’s enrollment dropbrought the University 200 short of its goal.Tuition increases “of no less than $50 perquarter” have been a deliberate part of thatpolicy. The question is whether the tuition hikeshave prevented the University from reaching itsenrollment goal. It is very possible that in¬creasing the cost of a Chicago education, par¬ticularly when financial aid has remainedrelatively constant, has placed too much of aburden on the students who have to put up themoney.The University’s most persuasive argument insupport of the increases points to thesignificantly lower tuition levels at Chicago ascompared to schools of comparable quality.Tuition at the College, for example, is $500 lessthan it is at Harvard.This differential provides little solace for thoseon the quadrangels. For most students here, thechoice is not Chicago or Harvard, but to continuewith their education or to drop out, or perhapsChicago or a free state university.The organization of the Speak Out Coalition onUniversity tuition policy comes as a welcomeexpression of student concern about the high costof a University of Chicago education. TheCoalition is in a position to provide a criticalalternative to the administration’s tuitionfinancial policy.The work of the Coalition will have little im¬pact, however, if the group spouts groundlessrhetoric and reaches conclusion not backed upwith careful research. The members of theCoalition have set out on a difficult and time-consuming effort, and we all stand to gain if theyproceed in a thoughtful and responsible way.The Chicago MaroonEditor: Peter Cohr> Founded in 1901Newt Editor: Deri WiseFeatures Editor: Jen RhodesSports Editor Oavid R.eserPhoto Editor Dan NewmanAssociate Editor: David BlumProduction Manager Michael DelaneyGraphics: ChrisPersansBusiness Manager Niko Ma*simy«di$Ad Manager Doug MillerStaffTony Adler.

I have talked withMr. Reneker, and he reminded me ofSection 7(a) of the Statutes of theUniversity which states that “ThePresident of the University ... is theofficial medium of communication .. . between the students and theBoard of Trustees”.I would like to add my personalcomment that I know that Mr.Wilson and Mr. Reneker com¬municate regularly and I also knowthat Mr. Wilson has press con¬ferences and that there are manyother opportunities for students totalk with Mr. Wilson. Until a matteris referred to Mr. Wilson with arequest that it be transmitted to theChairman of the Board of Trusteesand Mr. Wilson reports hisdisposition of the matter, no onereally knows whether Mr. Renekeris reluctant to see him. Mr. Renekeris a busy and orderly man and for allI or Blum knows he may find it auseful method of allocating hisscarce time to allocate it in ac¬cordance with the Statutes thatgovern his and our University lives.Allison DunhamSecretary, Board of TrusteesWriting lessonsTo The Editor:The January 25,1977 edition of theMaroon produced a pair of articlesseemingly unrelated. Page onecarried a story about remedialwriting offerings in the College,while page five had a story entitledPro-lifer decries birth control”.May we suggest Abbe Fietman, theauthor of the latter story, sign up forthe writing lessons at once.He has, under the guise ofreporting, exposed his own biases atthe expense of the very seriousissues Pro-life’s Bill Styger wastrying to present.Numerous examples might becited, but perhaps the most strikingis the apparently adversarial roleFietman adopts when restating Mr.Styger’s positions. Fietman is proneto use such terms as “couldn’t helpbut agree’,, “ignoring the physicalfacts of life”, and “spewed outstatistics” to describe Styger’sarguments. One can almost imagineCub Reporter Fietman interviewingStyger, eagerly waiting for him toconcede one of Fletman’spredispositions.While we do not agree with thePro-life position, we find distortionspresented as Journalism to bebordering on the criminal.GeneM.J. Szuflita AB’76Michael Weiss AB’75Swenson protest If it is determined predominantlyby the weight of a faculty member’srecord of research and publications,then I think that a revision of theCollege catalogue is in order, so thatno prospective students are misledto conclude that the College isdedicated strongly to the excellenceof the teaching abilities of itsfaculty.If, on the other hand, teachingability is given equal or near equalweight to publishing achievements,then I must ask who decides what afaculty member’s teaching abilityis. I think that there is no one whocan report more reliably on thisfactor than the students themselveswho have taken those courses.If the oft-spoken idea — that one ofthe primary things of value whichthe U. of C. College graduate takesaway with him is the increasedcapacity to think — contains anytruth at all, then I must reflect uponthe teaching excellence of a smallhandful of professors, who havecontributed significantly in allowingme to draw this same conclusionabout my own education. Mr.Swenson stands high among thatgroup.The challenge and intellectualstimulation provided by this man,who took the time and effort toteach, is something I cannot takelightly. Mr. Swenson’s classesepitomize the College at its best.I know that many students thinksimilarly. If indeed teaching abilityhas some importance, then I wonderjust how much weight is given to thesincere recommendations ofstudents in decisions of faculty re¬appointment; or whether studentviews are sought out at all. If not,then changes are long overdue.The system of tenure does nothave my support, but it exists. And itseems to me that the decision to re¬appoint a faculty member shouldreflect the interests of the entireUniversity community. If I amcorrect in estimating the number ofstudents which feels the same highregard for Mr. Swenson’s teachingthat I do, then I fail to see how Mr.Swenson’s presence can do any lessthan to reflect pride on the image ofthe College and University, throughhis students’ esteem and en¬dorsement of him within as well asbeyond University circles.Similarly, the decision to deny Mr.Swenson tenure can do nothing butharm that same image.With limited resources and stiffcompetition for faculty positions, theUniversity, I’m sure, faces choicesof sad necessity. And faculty re¬appointments come to be con¬sidered, by those responsible, interms of calculated net gains orlosses.I know not what the College andUniversity have gained by thisdecision. But I can attest to whatthey, what we, have lost. TheUniversity has said “no” to one of itsfinest.Sincerely,Eric L. BronsteinDenver, ColoradoThe Maroon received a copy of the Rrilplrrtnvfollowing letter. 1JL UUILUtUDear Mr. Wilson,I was dismayed and saddened tolearn of the recent decision regar¬ding the denial of tenure toProfessor William Swenson.Inasmuch as I am at present athousand miles from campus, inaddition to the fact that I never,regretfully, informed myself aboutthe process by which the tenuresystem operates at the U. of C., I amat somewhat of a loss, and can onlypose a question — what are thecriteria by which such a decision ismade? To the editor:Concerning your article on thebanning of the Chicago Journal frompress conferences with the UCpresident:Just who is this Donald J.R.Bruckner who’s throwing his weightaround anyway?

Financial* aid has been cutto the bone. The number of facultyand staff members has declined.Students are paying more while themoney allocated for student ac¬tivities has been cut in half in thepast 3 years. The entire universitycommunity is being asked to bearthe burden of a financial crisis whichhas never been fully documented orexplained to us.This financial crisis occurs in themidst of a multi-million dollar' fundraising campaign now beingconducted by the University. Theadministration claims that thismoney will be used to improve theUniversity of Chicago; yet, therehas been very little specific in¬formation given as to how and wherethis money will be spent. As in otheraspects of its financial affairs, theUniversity is maintaining heavysecrecy with respect to this matterand has refused to be accountable tcthe over 10,000 of us who live andwork in the University community.But, it is we who will benefit orsuffer as a result of the policies ofthe administration. Therefore, wecall on the Board of Trustees and theadministration to make public thefinancial affairs of the University tothe entire University community. Inaddition, we call for a moratoriumon the tuition increase and all cut¬backs until this is done.By this letter we announce theformation of the Speak OutCoalition. Our first activity will be aUniversity-wide speakout on March3, in which students and others willbe able to speak on how the tuitionincrease and cutbacks will affectthem, and on the other issues thatare raised by this crisis. Thespeakout will illustrate theseriousness of the crisis. It will alsoserve as a vehicle to mobilize aunited response and to organizefurther activities.

LeBag feels absolutely compelled torespond to an article by the augustmusic critic of the Chicago Sun-Times,Robert C. Marsh, entitled “Sounding aDownbeat Note," in the “Show" sec¬tion of the February 13 Sunday edition.Mr. Marsh, in commenting on theWoody Herman/Buddy Rich/MercerEllington/Ella Fitzgerald concertseries now under way at Water TowerPlace, makes a "jazz-is-dead"argument, positing that jazz hadbeen the dominant force in Americanpopular music but had ceded that roleto rock, and will become, if it isn'talready, a relic for universities and anoccasional concert-hall stage. Now, Icould respond like my idol FrankSinatra: say a few cute things abouthim, and maybe send over a couple ofmy friends to check him out. But my U.of C. instincts have become deeplyingrained by now, so I'll discuss theissues calmly and dispassionately.Perhaps there's an argument to bemade that jazz of the sixties andseventies is less popularly orientedthan the great “classic jazz" of Arm¬strong, Ellington et al. made betweenthe World Wars. As jazz became moresophisticated musically, it may havelost its roots as a music “of thepeople," as it were. Henry Pleasants,for example, makes a provocative casealong those lines in Serious Music —and All That Jazz! However, I don'tparticularly buy that line of reasoning.First, I have my doubts that whatendured as the great jazz of the Thir¬ties, say, was really a mainstay of themass culture of the times. Certainly,both in jazz history and in popularhistory that era is referred to as the“Big Band era" or the “swing era." Ithink there's a romanticized notionamong those who believe jazz hasshrivelled up since 1940 that the musicwe marvel at today on Smithsonianrecords was the equivalent of theBeatles' music in 1967. I stronglysuspect that nowhere near as manypeople appreciated or even heard "Ko-Ko" as Sergeant Pepper. In fact, “Ko-Ko“ may have been similar in appealto “A Love Supreme."Most music fans of the swing eraprobably couldn't tell greatness fromdreck, anywav. Check out the insideliner of MCA's fabulous Best of countBasie set, and you'll find an ad for suchimmortals as Freddie Martin, RussMorgan, and Sammy Kaye, who allhave “Best Of's" in the same series.Maybe Marsh remembers 1938 well; Isure don't, and I may be wrong on thisscore. But consider this: who is thebiggest draw among the big-bandleaders; who sells out largeauditoriums when he performs andattracts huge audiences on TV? It'sthat brilliant, hard-driving, innovativeLawrence Welk, folks. That's wherenostalgia's at. Except coincidentally, Icontend that jazz has never been amass-market phenomenon.Marsh also makes the same mistakethat many musicologists andhistorians, amateur and professional,have made in evaluating the music ofthe past twenty years: they all makethe same genuflection towards the god of Rock. Mark Miller has a perceptiveessay in the recent New York Reviewof Books on “The Decline of Rock";one point that comes out of his piece isthat rock was, and is, basically asocial, not a musical happening. Thedriving force behind rock was a par¬ticular spirit of rebelliousness againstthe (real or imagined) oppression,paranoia, etc., of the American adultestablishment.What's happening in 1977 (if it hadn'tbeen happening all along) is that thewhole show's been co-opted, to use agood Sixties expression. Paranoia andoppression are no longer in: “the youthculture makes it hard to beoutrageous." No definable musicalform comes out of rock, althoughoriginal and innovative people haveperformed under that rubric (try theBeatles, early Jefferson Airplane, SlyStone and Van Morrison for one top-of-the-head laundry list). For once,maybe sociology can explainsomething. But, in jazz, there's amusical link, a thread that runs all theway from Africa through slave songs,the Swan Silvertone Singers, ScottJoplin, James J. Europe, BixBeiderbeke, Jimmy Lunceford,Thelonious Monk, Albert Ayler, toQuadrasect. The connection won't bedropped that easily. Rock may be inrigor mortis already, by contrast.I don't know where Marsh got theidea that “the supply of talent ap¬peared to be running out" in jazz by thelate 1940's. It may not be his dish of tea,but I know that I saw two groups ofsuperb musicians stretching theircreative talents to the limit the sameweekend I read his article. Thesepeople are toiling in a vineyard thatsome of us still refer to as “jazz"(although some of us would opt for adifferent name). Needless to say, therewas no mention of Don Moye or CharlesMingus in Marsh's article: I doubt that he's heard of the former, a criticcannot be expected to be omniscient oromnipresent, but still, to dismiss allpost-classic jazz in such a cavalierfashion seems careless at best. Atworst, it's a real disservice. He shouldknow that jazz, while it's never beenwildly popular, continues to developmusically and to expand the horizons ofindividual improvisation and small-group playing especially.The big-band era may well be over,but different things are still being triedfor over-ten-piece ensembles, andsome of them actually work (cf. An¬thony Braxton and Toshiko Akioshi).Marsh really ought to be hip to thesethings. Since he and members of hisfraternity are not, there should be nowonder, as he points out, thatmusicians (black, especially) arelooking elsewhere to make their living.Banging one's head against a wall ofignorance, after all, is not good forone's mental or physical health. Butsome crazies insist on doing just that,and we at the GCJ will continue to writeabout these people and support t’.emand their music, just as Marsh sup¬ports the Chicago Symphony, LyricOpera, and so forth. Maybe in timemore people will regard it as perfectlynormal to go to two or three concerts ina weekend — or even one. Maybe it willbecome normal practice in Chicagothat there will be two or three wor¬thwhile things to hear in an averageweekend, but we shouldn't become toounrealistic, should we? If jazz is acorpse, it's a pretty lively one, and itshould be playing its own requiem for along time to come.Now for some brief critical com¬ments. Saw Charles Mingus lastweekend. I'm almost convincedMingus can do no wrong, and lastSunday's performance at Amazingracepnly increased my regard for him.Unfortunately, gone from his quintet were two wildly original talents,pianist Don Pullen and saxophonistGeorge Adams. Lacking a brilliantimproviser, the show was nonethelessexcellent due to Mingus' compositionalgenius. Most leaders are content to tossoff a “head" (melody line), assign anorder of solos, and leave it at that. ButMingus's conception, and his attentionto detail, go far beyond. One numbermay have several melodies and callfor tempo changes, backgrounds,cadenzas, group improvisations, allkinds of things you hardly hearelsewhere. To play his music requiresexpressiveness and discipline.The set I heard included “Sues'Changes," a kaleidoscopic, swingingodyssey with a beautiful, surprisingsolo by the much-improved JackWalrath on trumpet, and a newmagnum opus from a film score he'scomposing. What to say about it? It'sLatin in flavor, features some butt-busting playing by his youngsaxophonist Ricky Ford in both writtenand improvised sections, hassomething to do with a guy who divesinto a vat of perfect cocaine, and in¬cludes a song that goes something like:Mammy's little baby loveshortnin' breadThat's a lotta bullshitsomebody saidMammy's little baby loveROLLS ROYCEMammy's little baby loveCADILLACTRUFFLESPENTHOUSE etc.The Deadly Nightshade or Joan Baezwill probably never record it. Mingus ischallenging, outrageous, always hasthe great Dannie Richmond on drums,is often hilarious in his on stage com¬ments (“I had all kinds of pianoplayers. Now I got one who can read"he said of Bob Millens, who was ear¬nestly pointing out a mistake in hisscore.) He is not to be missed, ever.And I hope that the rich kids on theNorth Shore who tend to populateAmazingrace appreciate whatthey're getting up there, or do theythink it's just like Jim Post and BobGibson? (Sometimes I wonder).I thought that the Don Moye-MalachiFavors-Julius Hemphill performanceat Ida Noyes last Friday was won¬derful. So much music goes on at someof these AACM concerts, much of itwithout familiar reference points, thatI, for one, have to deal with it on im¬pressionistic level. I liked this show alot; it had the same spirit as the bestOrnette Coleman performances, andsince Ornette hasn't been around muchlately, it was a special pleasure to hear.Sometimes, as a member of theaudience at AACM concerts, it's hardto get into what's going on onstage.Most of Friday's audience reacted veryfavorably to the performance — withgood reason. It was powerful andimportant.From a rhythm-centered group, IdaNoyes will host an AACM group withalmost no percussion tonight, if I readthe flyers correctly. Quadrasectfeatures the monstrous trombonistGeorge Lewis and Douglas Ewart,musicians I've heard and dug before.This is a rare opportunity, like going tothe Cotton Club in 1936 or to Minton's in1942. Don't pass it up, you'll tell yourgrandchildren about it.The Grey City Journal-Friday, February 18, 1977-1The RumprollerGreat Music Comes to Ida NoyesDon Moye: the master of talking rhythms.I came in a little late for Don Moye's concertFriday night, took a look at the close to selloutcrowd, and found a seat near the back. I'm at a lossto explain the large crowd, except to say that likethe caftaned consultant in Putney Swope, theyheard about it on the drums; and what better wayfor word to spread that Don Moye has become theking of the singing drums, the master of talkingrhythms.Unlike the flashy solo and duet exhibitions of lastseason, Friday night's concert was a group per¬formance by the Malinke trio: Julius Hemphill onalto sax, soprano sax, and flute; Malachi Favors onbass; and Moye on trap set and congo drums.Many of the people who heard last year's concertswere expecting to see the complete Moye collection,a group of hundreds of gongs, drums, whistles, andbells from all over the world, and expresseddisappointment at its absence. Moye seemed to beputting himself on a more even level with the othertwo musicians, neither of whom could bring hun¬dreds of instruments to the concert. The trio form, yvhich is becoming increasingly: popular with the success of groups like Air and theRevolutionary Ensemble, can either be the idealform for intimate musical communication, or it canbreak down into overlong, cliched soloing. Thedifference largely depends on the bass player anddrummer, who both play instruments whichtraditionally do not share equal roles with the leadvoice. In most of our minds, when a sax player in alarge group solos, it is appropriate for the otherlead voices to bow out, whereas the drummer andbass player continue to play accompaniment. In amodern trio we should have three equal musiciansin almost constant group improvisation, but oftenwe end up with a soloist backed by a rhythm sec¬tion.Anyone who knows Moye's work knows thataccompaniment is not where his head is at. He likesto play melodies, build up rhythmic harmonies, tapout four part choirs, and generally do things con¬sidered impossible on the drums. That greatspiritual gumshoe and all around hoodoo con¬sultant, Papa LaBas once told a fictional cohort ofmine, "Don't laugh, son. Four hundred years ago,the Africans had a rhythmic language twenty timesas complex as French." Don Moye is the man in thereal world you go to if you want to understand whatLaBas meant.He isn't one of those powerful titans of the sixtieswho destroyed the walls of traditional rhythm inorder to participate more fully in the new music;for Moye those walls don't exist at all. He hasrefined his improvisation to such an extent that onewould be hard-pressed to label it rhythmic im¬provisation at all. I like to think of it as singing onthe drums.Besides Moye, the Malinke trio offers two of thefinest musicians playing jazz today. (We can'treally say Chicago jazz, since they have become theadopted wonder-children of the New York scene.)Malachi Favors is the superb, dare f say un¬derrated, bass player for the Art Ensemble ofChicago. His techniques, like Moye's, arespecifically geared to intimate group im¬provisation. His musical personality shines through/As that great spiritual gumshoe, PapaLaBas once said, "Don't laugh, son.Four hundred years ago the Africanshad a rhythmic language twenty timesas complex as French."any group he plays in as a clear, original voice.Julius Hemphill is a Chicago reedman who hasdeveloped his own ideas and a wide repetoire oftones and techniques.At intermission Lukacs LeBag, who happened tobe sitting in front of me, excitedly turned aroundand said, "Do you believe how long Hemphill couldsolo..He went on and on without losing it for aminute." I couldn't have said it better myself, and Ispent the next half hour trying to figure out how Hemphill could play for so long without becomingthe least boring, even to a conservative like me. Ideveloped an overly literary, but perhapsilluminating scenario of the events:Most of the pieces begin quietly, with Hemphillplaying an unaccompanied or sparsely ac¬companied theme. His tone on alto reminds me of acertain type of British movie from the late fifties:the bitter-sweet sax that filters over the greystreets of London. The themes are clearly stated,and slowly, as they develop, Moye almosthaphazardly interjects a rim-shot here, a cymbolthere. The theme is entering the realm of rhythm,where it will get zapped almost out of recognition.Moye takes the simple theme and runs it through agamut of different rhythms, showing it numerouspossibilities for further improvisation. It en¬counters a sizzling bebop 4/4, a chaotic streetscene, and a sunset over the Ganges. On his trapset, Moye conjures up the sounds of society andaround the world. Hemphill recognizes thesethematic cues and uses them as fuel for his solo.The communication I heard, and most people whowere there will swear to, is a rare wonder. TheMalinke Trio last Friday night at Ida Noyes willeasily be one of the finest musical events of thisacademic year. It is time for the people who enjoythis music (and I know there are many, judgingfrom the turnout) to demand more. We have someof the finest musicians playing today right at ourown back door, and we should never forget it ortake it for granted.Notes: As a matter of fact, tonight is a good night toget a second dose. Quadrisect will play a concert inIda Noyes Hall, at 8 o'clock, under the auspices ofDOC. Quadrisect consists of George Lewis, DougEwart, Mwata Bowden, and James Johnson.

Oc¬casionally they can be hilarious, as is ElGrande de Coca-Cola or Charles Ludlam'sStage Blood, where the Verfremdungseffektmeets burlesque. They can be "wistfullyamusing," as is Truffaut's film Day forNight, or they can be aimless and chaoticfarces, as Robert Patrick's Play by Playproved last year. David Mamet's A Life inthe Theatre, the current production atGoodman's Stage 2, adds another title to thelong list of works of art about art. They playavoids the aesthetic onanism of many ofthese pieces because it has enough of a plotto give it some dramatic action andmovement.The work is constructed as a series ofshort scenes placed in a logical but non¬narrative sequence. It charts the fates oftwo interacting actors, one a middle agedand decaying hack, the other a rising youngtalent rapidly gaining success andrecognition. A Life in the Theatre lacks the urban prose poetry of such works asMamet's American Buffalo; but what itloses in language, it gains in dramatic pace.Through rapid scene shifting the play is ableto define an emotional terrain using thecharacters vectors. A Life in the Theatrealso shows, I think, the influence of two newforces in Mr. Mamet's work: Harold Pinterand Charles Ludlam. The first scenes of theplay were almost an academic exercise inPinter's oblique dialogue, and theoutrageous but condescendingly "loving"scenes of the trashy play(s) within a playthat the actors performed showed Ludlam'sself-conscious parody and wit. Who elsecould inspire a scene in which the dialogueconsists of:ROBERT: How are you and Gilliangetting along..JOHN: Gillian is going to have a baby(pronounced beyh-beyh).ROBERT: How nice for you.JOHN: it's not mine — she tells me it'syours!The play also incorporates the Chorus'sspeech from Henry V, 11, i which, the moreI think about it, perfectly embodies theyouthful ambition it is meant to portray. Gregory Mosher directed the show withthe same unobtrusive competence of hisearlier production this fall, Sizwe Banzi isDead. Mr. Mosher, like Chicago'sMeisterdirektur Stuart Gordon, does nothesitate to do his shows as simply and asskeletelly as possible. The dramatic in¬tensity of the scenes is all the strongerbecause so many many of the technicaltrappings of "theatrical illusion" areignored. Lighting and the power of the in¬dividual performances create this universe,and that, I think, is what contemporarytheatre is all about. Mr. Mosher alsodisplayed an excellent sense of stage pic¬ture. The final scene, in which the middle-aged actor smokes and gives a lonely speechto an empty stage, lit only by a single in¬candescent bulb, was beautiful in the bestJosef von Sternberg tradition.The acting never sank below good. MikeNussbaum as Robert, the older actor, waswonderful. He played his role with a timidpomposity and aching loneliness made allthe more poignant by his character'sincompetence and defensive bitchiness. Icouldn't help but feel sorry for Robert,though I knew he would bore me into anguish and abrasion within five minutes.Joe Mantegna as John, the younger actor,did not have Mr. Nussbaum's smoothcohesiveness in his performance, and Ifound his first few scenes less thanbelievable. His increasing moments ofanger and his growing impatience withRobert, however, gave Mr. Mantegna's rolea cold note of pragmatism that undercut Mr.Nussbaum's poor and "ephemerous," to usehis own word, dreams. Together the twoactors were a constantly focused en¬semble, an excellent example of tight andresponsive acting. If such power can only beachieved in a bel canto format, it's abouttime people started writing more duetdramas.Michael Merritt's sets were bare,fragmented, and defined various playingareas in a large stage backdrop. They weresimply, unpretentious, and aestheticallyhonest, whatever that means. Thecostumes, by Marsha Kowal, weredelightfully tacky for the play within a play,and cruelly accurate for the characters,right down to John's trendy,' driving glovesand Robert's pathetically jaunty tam-o-shanter. Robert Christen's lighting wasemotionally responsive to the tone of eachscene. The music, by Stuart Klawans, wasrecorded, and added a bleak honky-tonknote to the show.When I was in Minneapolis this summer, Iwas told that the Guthrie mainstage was theartistic and financial success, but thatGuthrie II, an "experimental theater", washaving problems in both of those areas.The reverse is true for Chicago. Stage 2,"Goodman's other Professional Series",substitutes the pretentiousness and inac¬cessibility of Goodman's mainstage showswith simple and good theatre. A Life In theTheatre, Stage 2's third production thisseason, reinforces my feeling that "ex¬perimental theater", whatever it is, is aliveand well in Chicago; in fact, it is the onlytheatre in Chicago. Stage 2 is located at 1016North Dearborn, where parking isunavailable, and hence expensive. So aretickets — $5.00 for a show that plays lessthan 70 minutes. A Life in the Theatre playstonight and Saturday at 8:30, and Sunday at3:00. Call 443-3800 for reservations.Joe Mantegna and Mike Nussbaum in A Life in the TheatrevA Disappointing PackageBy Esther SchwartzSomeone once wrote that good thingscome in small packages. Somehow I don'tthink he ever sat through an evening of one-act plays. Like a Bach partita, the one actermust be immediate in its effect, pervasivethroughout, and characteristic in style. Thevery things which draws us to this shortenedart form — the brevity of time, the sim¬plistic plot structure, the comfortablesetting — often can hinder its at¬tractiveness.Such is the case with the Court Theatre'sEvening of One-Act Plays presented lastweekend at The New Theatre. There waslittle good in these small packages. Poorlyconceived and performed the plays weretedious and boring, too moralistic for oneevening's mouthful, and too short for anyserious contemplation.Opening the bill was Susan Glaspell'sTriffles. A victim of its own popularity oncollege campuses, Ms. Glaspell's worksuffered severely at the hands ofamateurish actors, a tortoise like pace, anda melodramatic treatment of a seriousproblem. Minnie Wright, the "pretty, sweetand timid wife" of farmer John Wrightstrangles her husband in his sleep. She endsup in Dickson County jail while the sheriff,county attorney, and neighboring farmerreturn to the scene of the crime to in¬vestigate the murder. There they findsubstantiary evidence and motive for theact. Only their wives, and of course theaudience members, understand Minnie'smotivation at the end of the play. Out of desperation Minnie strangled the man whochoked the life out of her. As when her birdits cage is no longer permitted to sing orflutter about, Minnie kills the thing that hasoppressed her and dissiDated her life.Barbara Boyer's production is too pat andtoo tightly conceived. Her direction is atfault as well as the limited script. Action isreplaced by silly bantering, emotionalcharge by gaping silences. Steven Holliday,Patrick Billingsley, and Larry Phillips walkthrough their roles like robots. Only KellyNespor, as the wife of Sheriff Peters, risesabove the inadequate company. Her per¬formance of the nervous, frumpy woman ischarming and emotionally charged; hermovements come from the heart not thehead.Irene Schweyer's Mrs. Hale is toocalculated. Her gestured and efficaciousmanner is disturbing. Her sing-song dialectof a southern rural woman belongs in aCongreve comedy-of-manners. Merit mustbe given, however, to Ruth Gains wonderfulset and Susan Schiffer's period costumes.But this is a small part of what is expectedin a good production.Tennessee Williams two-character studyThis Property is Condemned was the onebreath of fresh air in the evening's offerings. This is due to the poetic magic of themaster himself and the fascinating performance of Mary Yordy as Willie, the half¬woman half-child. Unlike Minnie whochooses murder as her escape, Williecreates for herself a world of make-believe,a world like the movies, in which everyone dresses in beautiful clothes, dances to allhours of the night and throws wild parties.Unfortunately reality intrudes into Willie'sworld. Even her gaudy pearls, high-heeledpumps, see-through lingerie, and red rougeand lipstick are soiled and torn. Willie hadenvisioned a world like the celluloid moviequeens for herself and her sister, Alva, aloose girl who did favors for the railroadmen. But those reckless days end, and likethe rooming house once owned by hermother, the property is condemned. Willienontheless continues to fantasize, to dressup in women's clothes and charm therailroad men. To her the property may becondemned "but nothing is wrong with it."The second character, Tom, offensivelyplayed by Steve Goodman, has a very smallrole as the sounding board to Willie's keenimagination. Totally upstaged by MaryYordy, Mr. Goodman evokes nothing,meaningful except good looks. Hischargeless manner, his tacit grin andpainful southern dialect are embarrassing.It is best that he only had a few lines tospeak. Ms. Yordy was, on the other hand,fresh in her carefree way, and a genuinelybelievable character. Her mixture offeminine wiles and girlish charms wereutterly scrumptious.Director Josh Lipsman's second dabblewith Tennessee Williams was considerablyless successful. Auto-Da-Fe is a twocharacter study of life in the old quarter ofNew Orleans in the late 1920's. Amidst theuncleanliness and decay of this poor district, Mme. Duvenet creates for herselfand her son, Elois, an immaculate andspotless ivory tower. Mme. Duvenet "has nowish to know a great deal". Elois, on theother hand, knows he is living in a fool'sparadise, but does not have the fiber nor thestrength of character to broaden hishorizons. The conflict between mother andson comes hurtling down at the end of theplay: Elois locks himself in the house withthe intent on burning a lude photograph hefound in the mail at work. As the curtaincloses it is understood that the house isburning down as well. The play itself is veryvague in supplying us answers to Elois' rashact; at least it is unclear to me.The characters, played by StevenHolliday and Irene Schweyer, do very littleto enlighten the confusion. Once again IreneSchweyer looks like a manequin dressed inover-sized clothing. Her responses areautomatic and her annoying sing song voicereturned to disturb me once again. StevenHolliday is passionate at times, butbasically his Elois is over-acted and over¬indulging. Ruth Cain provides us again witha purposeful set and Barbara Jensen'scostumes reflect the local color of the oldquarter.One-act plays are difficult because theyare hard to deliver and execute. Theaudience does not have a second chance toreconsider a character or an action afterintermission. In the case of last week end'sperformances, I thank God.The plays can be seen this weekend,February 18 20 at the New Theatre.DANCE:Saturday 8;301 from to1:00 Li’l Pat Rushing and theGUT BUCKET BLUES & BOOGIE BANDFeb. 19 at SSA front Lobby serving beer, wineIrish coffee etc., cover $1.00The Grey City Journal-Friday, February 18, 1977-3An Improved JoffreyDanceBy Eden ClorfeneThe recent visit of the Joffrey Ballet was abeautiful testimony to progress. During thetwo-week run the company displayed morewisdom in programming, better dancing,and more of a feeling of unity than everbefore.It looks as if directors Robert Joffrey andGerald Arpino have finally relinquishedtheir obsession of making a special con¬tribution to the ballet stage. Though theJoffrey Ballet is a ranking company inAmerica, its 23 year-old search foruniqueness has resulted in a repertoire thathas never made good use of the company'sabundant talent. With unusually youngdancers (many are admitted to the com¬pany in their teens and assume major roles in their early twenties) and Arpino's poprock ballets, the Joffrey's idea has been togenerate an all-around image of youth.Arpino's works have consistently* beenburdened by excessive embellishment andgimmickry. He pulls rabbits out of hats andcalls his tricks expressive of today's sen¬timent.This season, however, the Joffrey hassucceeded in bringing freshness and vitalityto the stage. No longer is there a sense thatthe dancers are trying too hard. Instead, thedancers have discipline and seriousness.There are still too many of those light¬hearted, frivolous productions, likeCranko's "Pineapple Poll" and RuthannaBoris's "Cakewalk", but the dancers' ap¬proach has matured from childish cutenessto adult sense of self-parody. They don'ttake these pieces terribly seriously, and happily, neither do we.The best improvement is that therepetoire is almost entirely free of Arpino.The Chicago premiere of "Orpheus TimesLight, Squared," with an embarrassinglybombastic score by Jose Serebrier, was hisimportant offering. It is usual Arpino, withan excess of lighting and scenic effects,and a lack of dance invention. But the mostserious crime is the waste of the talents ofTom Van Cauwenbergh (Orpheus) andChristian Holder (Pluto). "Orpheus," thesecond completed work in Arpino'sprojected Greek mythology trilogy, is noimprovement over the original, "TheRelativity of Icarus." The highest tribute hecould pay the gods at this point would be toleave their memories alone.One of the high points of the season is thenew production of Agnes deMille's"Rodeo," revived from the 1942 BalletRusse de Monte Carlo version, and set to theCopland score of the same title. A mostenergetic ballet, like Eugene Loring's"Billy the Kid," and Jerome Robbins'"Fancy Free,," it captures the ambience ofa certain American locale. All elements —Kermit Love's cowboy costumes, OliverSmith's tasteful set and drop, thechoreography, and music — are equallyimportant in this expression of the West."Rodeo" tells the simple story of atomboy cowgirl whose boyishness makes ithard for her to attract her heart's desire, thehead wrangler. After her moment of defeat,the champion roper consoles her,giving her advice about feminine charms.She leaves the stage for a moment andreturns in a bright yellow dress with Lil'Abner shoes, rarin' to show everyone up atthe Saturday night dance. She gets her man,and everyone is happy.DeMiile's choreography depends heavilyupon the music's beat, and is a collage offolk, mime-gesture, and tap dancing styles.The solos for the cowgirl are marvelous. Sheis fascinating in the way she jerks to thesyncopated rhythm, her movements per¬fectly capturing the impetuous pride of hercharacter. DeMille also includes many finetouches (like when the Champion Ropermakes a point of drying his hands on histrousers before he dances with the cowgirl)that make "Rodeo" especially delightful.The new Tharp ballet "Cacklin' Hen" isan aimless little piece set to the fiddle music of Snuffy Jenkins, Pappy Sherrill and theHired Hands. There is a startlingly fastopening solo for Ann Marie DeAngelo, witha following section for Jan Hanniford andfive men. Hanniford and men are alldressed in black, against a black backdrop.Tharp ballets are better described as Tharpmachines. Her dancers are torsos withuninvolved faces and dangling arms. Theyseem self-motivated and electricallycharged, having the affect of generalhysteria. Suddenly they reverse inmomentum and direction to assume ran¬dom, isolated poses.in "Cacklin' Hen" the Tharp machinegets out of hand. The hysteria is not gearedtoward any particular direction ordisciplined to convey an idea. It is fine forDeAngelo's solo, because unity is not anissue when there is only one dancer. And it isalso acceptable, if not amazing, when,during the latter section all the dancers aresynchronized to become one dancer.The dancers are in better classic form. Ofthe women, the spirited Francesca Corkle is,the most gifted. She can whiz through the'demands of "Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux"seemingly effortlessly. She is one dancerwhose smile seems an accurate reflection ofhow she feels when she dances. PamelaNearhoof, who has a long and evenlydeveloped body, exhibits a graceful sup¬pleness and special affinity to the lines ofthe classical style. She is also a fine actress,as her performance as the cowgirl in"Rodeo," her first dramatic role, testified.Denise Jackson made a valiant attempt atthe intricate "Square Dance" of Balan¬chine, while another special moment wasTrinette Singleton's appearance in Tharp's"Deuce Coupe II." Her feet are the mostbeautiful in the company.Gregory Huffman is the principal maledancer of the company, and rightly so.While not necessarily virtuosic, his dancingreveals a strength and self assurance thatcreates automatic audience trust. Hissuperb dancing and masculine charm madethe ballet especially gratifying and ef¬fective. Not far behind him is WilliamWhitener, the dancer who's made thegreatest improvement; astonishing is hismastery of Tharp's electric kinetics. In"Deuce Coupe II" he seemed the fluid,slippery eel that Tharp specifically had inmind.

The level of audience in¬volvement, the importance of the artist'spresence and the conceptual frameworkvaried considerably from last Friday'spiece by Christine Abiera and Phil Berkmanand Tuesday's It's Not Real, It's OnlyAcademic by Mary Jane Dougherty. Ms.Abiera and Mr. Berkman, both of N.A.M.E.gallery, performed a slow-movingritualistic procession of independent ac¬tivities echoing a video tape made the daybefore which played simultaneously withthe performance. Ms. Dougherty presentedseven members of the University com¬munity who demonstrated in one of avariety of ways their idea of what time is, orhow time is used in their discipline. Theaudience was free to roam about in therambling Midway Studios building,listening to and watching each mini¬performance for as long as they wantedbefore moving on to the next. Ms. Doughertywas in the last room showing slides andpopping popcorn.The N.A.M.E. artists structured theirpiece like traditional theater. A rug on thefloor marked off the audience area the restof the room, which completely encircled thecarpeted area, served as the stage. Mr.Berkman and Ms. Abiera began by em¬phasizing this division by walking a piece ofmasking tape onto the floor (this sameprocedure, down to the artist's addidaspressing the tape to the floor, was used theweek before by Michael Crane), markingthe boundary between the two areas. Theythen sat down in front of a television which,after showing exactly what they had justdone, showed what they were about to donext. One or both of the artists would see anactivity on video tape, do it and thenreturn to their seats.The most interesting part of this highlystructured piece was when an unimpressedsecurity guard, keys clanking, walked up toMs. Abiera as she sat watching herself onone T.V. screen to tell her that the T.V. thosein the rear of the audience were watchinghad gone on the blink. There was muchlaughter and some confusion about whetherthe security guard's presence was planned.The video tape was rewound and the piece continued for the next half hour, until, afterboth artists had left the room, Ms. Abierareturned to say, ''It'sover."Mary Jane Dougherty took a much lessnoticeable role in her piece the nextTuesday. Most of her work had been done inthe weeks before, discussing her ideas abouttime with any faculty member, researchassistant or graduate student she could gethold of. These adventures have been par¬tially documented and were presented to themembers of the audience as they enteredMidway Studios in the form of a diary ofmeetings and phone calls titled "An An¬notated Pathway Through The University ofChicago Toward a Synthesis of Time onFebruary 15, 1977."These meetings were interesting enoughto get people as varied as Diane Mc¬Cullough, a teacher at Lab School and anopera singer, and P.B. Moore, ageophysicist interested in butterflies, andfive others to prepare their own version of aperformance dealing with time. This idea the artist as organizer or orchestratorworked very well in this case. Members ofthe audience, many of them used to dealingwith oblique professors, had more fun andless trouble comprehending this per¬formance than that of any of the others sofar.This WeekTonight two artists who have devotedtheir careers to performance will present apiece titled Hot Block. Elizabeth Boettgerand Jim Shannon will be working withvarious elements, including water, steamand heat as they manipulate at high ternperatures a block of metal that weighs asmuch as Mr. Shannon.On Tuesday Leif Brush and GloriaDeFilipps-Brush will continue theirresearching sound, which began in theirbackyard in Duluth, Minn. Using laserbeams and complicated electronics theywill attempt to listen to and play the annualrings of tree stumps. (In preparation for aperformance of The Ring Cycle?) Smart Art:Tales of a ParrotBy Gwendolen CatesIf your eyes and your mind are strainedby all that tiny print you've been readinglately, you should make a visit to the Davidand Alfred Smart Gallery. There you'll finda story in pictures. The Cleveland Tutl-nama (Tales of a Parrot) Manuscript andthe Origins of Mughal Painting is a series ofbeautifully detailed miniature paintingswhich date from 16th century Mughal India.The Indo— Persian manuscript, whichbelongs to the Cleveland Museum of Art,tells of a merchant who, leaving on a longjourney entrusts his wife Khujasta with thecare of a parrot (tuti). Khujasta, wishing touse her time well, plans to go to her lover.The parrot manages to keep her at home,entertaining her with intricate moral talesfor fifty-two consecutive nights until herhusband returns.Commissioned by the Emperor Akbar,ruler of Mughal India during the 16th cen¬tury, the 218 miniatures, of which 82 are onexhibit here, are the work of several artistswhom Akbar gathered around him fromboth India and Persia. Consequently, a richmixture of technique and tradition marksthe art of his reign. The Mughal style ofpainting became a world wide ideal; in fact,the fine distinctions between the individualtradition of the various artists were oftensubdued and even assimilated.The paintings are delicate and colorful,full of mythic, religious and naturalcharacters, Buddhas recur in many of theminiatures, usually with an inscriptionbeside them. A wide variety of animals forma lively portion of the cast. There are battlescenes, love scenes, domestic squabbles andportraits of paradise gardens.An interesting stylistic range existsamong the paintings which itself reveals anartistic history. Most are realistic, withmuch flora and fauna and natural activity,and a sense of the three-dimensional.Others, however, are characterized byliberal use of gold and a two-dimensionalquality, both of which are reminiscent of theearly European medieval style of religiousart.This illustrated mythic tale with itsliveliness of color and detail is truly en¬joyable. From an artistic perspective, it is acomplex and interesting work. I recom¬mend it.

Theywere first able to do so in 1878. The story isthat Leland Stanford, an incredibly wealthypolitician and also the owner of a string ofrace horses, bet a friend $25,000 that all fourof a horse's legs left the ground at the sametime when the horse was galloping. To provethis he spent $40,000 fooling with differentphotographic procedures. Finally he hiredthe eccentric but talented photographerEadweard Muybridge, who placed twelvecameras on the ground with their lensestwenty-one inches apart and stretched tripwires across the track which would triggerthe shutters on the camera. When the pic¬tures were developed Muybridge placedthem on a wheel which revolved in front of alight source. The pictures projected on theopposite wall proved that, indeed, horses didfly.Muybridge had nothing more to do withmotion pictures, which now became theprovince of wealthy tinkerers and inventors.Various people made devices that producedmovies of a certain quality, but thesemachines were often impracticle.It is amazing, however, that there are anyfilms from this early period. Although allthat survive are fragments, it is possible tosee a film, for example, of a man walkingwith a child through Hyde Park in VictorianLondon of 1888.American ingenuity entered in 1888 underthe aegis of Thomas Edison. Mr. Edisonnever really did much himself, but scien¬tists who worked for him did make sizeableadvances. It should be understood that theEdison companies were not the hideawaysof pure scientists. What was wanted wassome kind of machine that could be pairedwith the commercially successfulphonograph machines. In the course of thiswork Edison ended up owning mostAmerican patents in the field of motionpicture cameras and projectors.By 1910 there was a growing film industryturning out films on a fairly sophisticatedtechnological level. The only problem wasthat cameras were fairly large and heavy, The Movies Come to Life— ■-* - "in glassed-in booths. Since you could notmove the booth around eventually theredeveloped mufflers, called "blimps" thatwere tied around the cameras. Eventuallythere were even quieter cameras.All these developments had immediateimpact. One development whose impact isstill being measured is the change in screensize that started in 1952. Until that timefilms were mainly (almost exclusively) shotin a four to three ratio. This is the ratio ofmost paintings and was found to be the mostsuitable size for composition. There hadbeen experiments in wide screen processesand Abel Gance's film of "Napolean" wasshown on three screens. boring and unimaginative films did fan¬tastic business. Bwana Devil featuredspears thrown at the audience. Less thanfifty films were made in 3 D because thepublic's enthuriasm died with unexpectedsuddenness. It was as if it appealed to themon Tuesday but left them cold on Wednesday.Twentieth Century-Fox came up withCinemascope which has enjoyed long life.'Scope is actually the oldest wide screenprocess from the fifties. Using ananamorphic lense the picture is squeezedonto the frame and, to oversimplify, "un¬squeezed" by another anamorphic lense onthe projector. Unlike the previously men¬tioned innovations 'Scope basically justgives a bigger picture, a longer screen.Originally this presented problems todirectors. Fritz Lang was irritated becauseit was so difficult just to have a shot from amedium distance of a man standing at atable. Other directors tried different ways ofcomposition. There were many shots ofocean liners gliding across the screen andtrains entering tunnels. Jean Negulescotook advantage of the new ratio by shootingpeople at lunch counters whenever possibleand John Sturges tried allegoricalgroupings. Other directors made them¬selves at home with the new size, notablyOtto Preminger. This technological change also produced achange in the creative processes.Cinemascope produced such a large viewthat composition took on increasing im¬portance. Instead of relying on mobilecameras or editing so much, simply whatappears in the frame took on added im¬portance. Long takes are more commonnow so that the audience will have time tonotice the position of the actors and theenvironment they are operating in.There were other ways of widening thescreen. VistaVision produced one of thesuperior effects. This process used acamera that operated as though it had beenlaid on its side and exposed two frames atonce. Todd-AO was the brainchild of theproducer, Mike Todd. Todd, who was anoutsider to the Hollywood establishment,really went overboard in his quest fornovelty and produced a film, Scent ofMystery, which utilized Smell-O-Vision.Surprisingly that was not the only attemptto link odor with film. My favorite attemptwas labeled AromaRama. Unfortunately,people thought these ideas stunk.Films are still made in the old screen size.One example would be The Godfather I andII. For the most part, however, films aremade in one of the wide screen sizes, usuallyeither Cinemascope or Panavision.Color has been with us for a long time, butexperimentation in that field is not yet over.The first Technicolor film was Becky Sharpin 1935 and cameramen and directors havebeen cursing the Technicolor company eversince. Originally a two color system,Technicolor, Inc. has developed theirprocess to the point where it is the superiorprocess. Unfortunately, they have alwaysacted that way and in the early daysdemanded that their technicians superviseall photography. It seemed at times thattheir basic function was to discourage in¬novation, repeatedly pointing out that suchand such a shot was impossible to make.Technicolor was criticized for being toobright, which led to the development ofother color processes. Eastmancolor,Metro-Color, WarnerColor and Deluxe allsought to provide more subdued hues andwarmer tones. They succeeded to a point,but unfortunately these processes do notremain consistent; after some years thecolors start to fade. Lust for Life, VincenteMinnelli's film about Vincent Van Gogh,was shot in such a manner and wasbeautifully made. When it is viewed now it isall red and brown.Technicolor has been refined to an extentand is not so despotically bright anymore.Alfred Hitchcock, who prefers working withquiet colors, has worked over the years withdifferent filters to modify the Technicoloreffect and has met with great success.The chances are that if you go to a filmtoday it is in Technicolor, but unfortunatelythis may all change. It is so expensive toutilize that the company may go out ofbusiness. They have licensed the processout, however, so there will always be aTechnicolor lab in, appropriately enough,Red China.This has been a broad look at some of themajor technological movements in film. Inthe next few weeks will appear articlesabout the rise of the film industry and thegreat American film makers.so that films were fairly static. SergeiEisenstein did not develop his theories ofmontage as a result of divine inspiration. Hewas working within the limitations of theactual film making process, and because itwas a pervasive condition, his theories werewidely accepted. Into the twenties camerasdid not move unless they were placed on amoving platform or on tracks.In Germany the director F. W. Murnauwas very unhappy with this condition. Hedid not like to construct his films throughmontage, but sought to work with a camerathat would glide through his worlds,revealing rather than constructing. Thisled German engineers to develop light¬weight cameras that could be strapped tothe cameraman. These innovations werewidely copied throughout the world. Again,a technological improvement gives rise tocreative innovationUnfortunately, for a while the arrival ofsound pictures put an end to all of this.Cameras were so loud they had to be placed Under pressure to produce a spectaclethat could not be duplicated by television,the industry reacted with the creation ofseveral different developments. The mostdramatic original reactions were Cineramaand 3-D. Cinerama originally was projected by three machines onto three screens.The screens were curved on the two ex¬treme edges. The whole idea was to takeadvantage of peripheral vision. By sittingclose enough to the screen the effect wouldbe that you were participating in the action.It was a nice effect but unfortunately thefilms that used it were made solely so theycould exploit the process. "This isCinerama" is a pretty typical example, withits roller coaster ride never failing to elicitsqueals from the audience. Eventually theyfound a way to use one camera and oneprojector for Cinerama but it eventuallywas discarded as too expensive and toomuch trouble.If the industry was giddy over Cineramathey had gone nuts over 3-D. The most6- The Grey City Journal-Frlday, February 18, 1977Fun with Dick and JaneBy John AikenCrimes are not always committed by uttermiscreants.-Jean Valjean, after all, stole inorder td assuage his family's hunger. JaneFonda and George Segal, however, in "Funwith Dick and Jane", steal to assuage theirhunger for a swimming pool, French wineswith dinner every evening, and the Book ofthe Month Club.Segal plays an aerospace engineer who isfired from his job (things have been slow inthe aerospace industry since Neil Arm¬strong took his "one small step"). NowSegal must find a means not only of sub¬sisting, but of maintaining his upper mid-dleclass act. He and his wife, being decentand respectable citizens, apply for loansand, swallowing hard, sign up for welfareand food stamps. But just eating isn'tenough after having once tasted of the Treeof the Good Life. Unable to live comfortably by legitimate means, they embark upon alife of crime.They start out small, holding up recordstores, motels and drugstores, but they do itwith such panache that it is easy to forgivethem their transgressions. They are aware,of course, that taking other people's moneyis not nice, and they eventually realize thattheir life of crime is too much of a strain ontheir sensibilities and decide to retire. Until,that is, Dick mentions to Jane the fact thathis ex-boss (played by Ed McMahon) at theaerospace plant keeps a slush fund in hisoffice safe. Sensibilities are then im¬mediately cast aside, for Dick, Jane, andthe audience. If it was possible to empathizewith them as they robbed retailers, no one isgoing to mind if they can successfully getaway with a little corporate bribe money.As an indictment of American affluence,the film is handicapped by an unevenscreenplay that provides insufficient insightinto the characters' actions. The film suc¬ceeds much better as a comedy, pure andsimple. The repartee is risque and thesituations eminently exploitable for laughs,such as Dick and Jane's theft of the offeringmoney of a church with a Rev. Ike-likeminister who exhorts his congregation to letGod into their lives so that He may put lovein their hearts and cash in their wallets.Segal plays the Great American Schmoefor the twenty-fifth time, while Jane Fondaexhibits heretofore unrealized skills as acomedienne. She's so good, in fact, that sheis able to get away with the scene in which,for all to see, she actually avails herself ofthe facilities in the "little girl's room". Onemore small step toward the cinema'scoming of age.Campus FilmBy Karen HellerAdmission for International House andweekend Doc and CEF films is $1.50. Onweekdays, Doc and CEF films are $1.00.

CICERO - CHICAGO'rSoap Operas: The Continuing Saga ExpandsBy Karen HellerSoap operas have always been scheduledas the meat dish of that audiovisual repast,day-time television. Until recently, thesecolorful continuums have been offered onlyto the housewife passing time, the kidskipping school and the unemployed suf¬fering from ennui. But now, everyone, eventhe working person and the dedicatedstudent can enjoy continuing dramas longafter the sun has gone down. The soap-operagenre is everywhere, having crept intonight-time programs, popular fiction andcommercial film. 'The soap opera has not simply infiltratedtelevision's prime-time programming, ithas conquered and converted it. The soapopera genre, manifested in two forms, theobvious and subtle, now occupies approximately 50% of night time viewing.Obvious evening soap operas, like "RichMan, Poor Man" and "Executive Suite,"are simply more expensive and assumedly,more artistic reproductions of the day-timemodel. Sit coms like "Rhoda" and "OneDay at a Time" are more subtle examples ofthis popular addiction masked by adiaphonous veil of comedy.There are definite distinctions betweenthe real soaps and their sudsy imitations.Because television's audience is larger afteroffice hours, networks sink more money intotheir evening programs. Subsequently, theevening soaps are more polished than theafternoon ones. These are video-taped withcheap film in car-board sets in small NewYork studios, while evening dramas areluxuriously filmed by several cameras inelaborate studios and on location. Day-timesoaps are never edited and utilize unknownstage actors, while night-time dramas paybig bucks for models and movie stars.Money, and thus clout, is the obviousdifference between day and night soapoperas. The other substantial difference isthat day-time soaps air five times a weekwhile night-time ones appear only once. Inorder to keep people tuned, but notdistraught by suspense, night-time soapsmust offer some temporary resolution,making them far less interesting.Sit-comedies are more inocuous in theirresemblance to day-time dramas. With "All in the Family," the father of the NormanLear television family, the serious sit comarrived. Too much happiness is notdigestable, but temporary misery, spicedwith ignorance, ethnicity and simplestupidity, along with a little happiness is.Lear and his ever enlarging family dealwith the believable; Edith goes throughmenopause, Maude's husband looses hisjob, the Jeffersons are discriminatedagainst — these problems are touchingbecause they are familiar, though they arenot everyday occurrences. Even "Rhoda,"America's comic cutie, has become seriousand sentimental. It is now possible to tune inSunday evening and instead of laughingabout Rhoda's matrimonial mishaps, cryabout her loneliness and possible divorce. Infact "Rhoda" has gotten so melodramaticthat several people have stopped watching,not because the quality has diminished butbecause the humor has.If soap opera is the illegitimate child ofmelodrama, then prime-time programs areher well-educated snobby children. For¬merly abandoning their parent prime-timehas now gone back to its roots, to that whichis natural, honest and popular. Thesophisticats have learned from humanproblems, and their education, as theNielsen ratings clearly prove has been afruitful one.Lately the three networks have beenpeddling big-budget, multiple episode dramas under such titles as "Roots: thesaga of an American family" and "How theWest was Won." Even the British importson PBS, the filet of the media meat market,have increased their soap supplement withnew episodes of "Upstairs, Downstairs,"and "The Pallisers," the largest and mostartistic soap opera ever, presented intwenty-two soul-stirring parts. These im¬mensely popular programs are no morewatched for their relation to the past than"Ryans' Hope" and "All My Children" arefor their bearing on current events. It is thepersonal losses and gains, the deaths,births, separations, reunions and above all,romances that keeps us glued to the set.These programs reassuringly offer us theknowledge that people back then ex¬perienced all the traumas we do now.Because television is so unbelievable,with its small screen projecting six inchpeople and incessant commercial in¬terruptions, it is perhaps the best vehicle forthe soap opera. But it is certainly not theonly one. For a much longer time popularfiction by authors like Arthur Hailey andHarold Robbins has been touching readers'hearts. Readers temporarily identify withthese characters' heightened emotions andexaggerated qualities. Most important isthat the identification is temporary, due tothe multiplicity of characters.A good example of the use of severalcharacters is in the most popular work of fiction, Gone With The Wind. Here thereader is offered two heroines and two heroswho love and lose one another at differentintervals. It is possible for a female readerto identify with Scarlet's determination andMelanie's devotion while admiring Ashley'ssweetness and Rhett's suave but somewhatsavage way with women. The reader caresfor all the main characters but neverbecomes too emotionally involved with theirproblems. When Ashley marries the readersimply switches her attention to Rhett.Commercial film is also a soap operaform. Literature of loss and love is oftentransposed onto the screen. As Gone WithThe Wind proves, a popular book will makean equally popular film. Arthur Hailey sand Harold Robbin's books are continuouslybeing spun into cinematic form. Becausefilm producers know what their filmaudience consciously and unconsciouslydemands, their supply seems almostlimitless.The soap opera form usually focuses on aconsolidated unit: a community, aprofessional sphere (medicine seems to bethe perennial favorite), an era or anhistorical event. Commercial filmmakershave done soap operas one better bycreating a new subject of focus—a disaster.The disaster film genre which got its truestart with the screen adaptation of a work ofpopular fiction, Arthur Hailey's Airport, isthe most recurrent and obsessive film genreof recent times. Since its start in the latesixties, the disaster film has engrossed filmconsumers and disgusted film connoisseurs.Disaster films have the same attecTs onthe viewer that television soaps do. Becauseof the time limitation in film, the disaster isused to heighten our awareness, speed upthe action and emotionally and graphicallyglorify the final scene. Disaster centralizesthe problem; the multiplicity of charactersshows the different reactions, somebelievable, others fantastical. In TheTowering Inferno, the fire causes WilliamHolden to lose his respectability as abuilding magnate, unites Paul Newman andFaye Dunaway, punishes Robert Wagnerand reforms Fred Astaire. As a sentimentalpiece de resistance, O.J. Simpson rescues acat. If a disaster film is successful in in¬volving and entertaining us we can be surethat it will return to us in sequel form.In two weeks - the soap opera in high art,literature, drama, and artistic film.FOTA gets set for SpringThe Festival of the Arts this May will be adeparture from past FOTAs. Instead ofimporting expensive talent as >n recentyears, the Festival will serve as a focus andcatalyst for artistic expression oy membersof the Hyde Park and University com¬munity.The FOTA committee has been placingads encouraging "any artist in anymedium" to participate. FOTA organizers'objective is to plan a project for people whohave an artistic pastime such asphotography, painting, or even .exotic home baking. The committee will attempt toprovide space and proper conditions for alltypes of displays, and will also try to attractaudiences.Some special features of the festival in¬clude: a juried show in the Bergman gallerycomposed of the best hand made objectssubmitted, a coffee house with an open mikeand auditions as well as an audience forhome bakers, and a weekend of "how to"workshops for various media. As a kickoff, aposter competition has been announced;rights to print the winning submission will be bought for $75.00.A steady drop in available funds over thepast years provided the impetus for theFOTA reorganization. Festival chairman,Aaron Filler explains; "We want to dosomething new and interesting, not just acheaper version of old FOTAs, besides, wethink this is exactly the sort of thing thiscommunity needs." Other committeemembers note steadily dropping attendancefigures for past FOTA events, saying fur¬ther that they do not wish to compete withthe Major Activities Board which is spen¬ ding $60,000 on entertainment at the U. of C.this year. "FOTA has been through anumber of directions in its 23 year history;this year it was time for a change and we'reall very excited with what we've come upwith," said Filler.The Festival's theme "May 1977: Art andAudience in Hyde Park" is somewhatreminiscent of the mood of the community adecade ago when Hyde Park was an im¬portant center for artistic expression in thecity of Chicago. "The creativity is still outthere, all we plan to do is provide a stage."The University of ChicagoCourt TheatrePresentsAN EVENING of ONE-ACTSTRIFLESby Susan GlaspellTHIS PROPERTY IS CONDEMNEDANDAUTO- DA- FE’By Tennessee WilliamsADMISSION$2.00/$ 1.50THENEW THEATRE5706 S.

Idon't know where it comes from, but itssomething about Texas. I think we give asmuch flash as anybody."He went on to discuss how he felt aboutbeing a Texan; “You check into a hotel inNew York with a cowboy hat. A guy comesout of the elevator with chains and a whip,and leather; and they'll look at you becauseyour wearing a cowboy hat."Dusty Hill, bass player for the band, saidthat he was looking forward to the Europeantour scheduled for later this year. Besidesnumerous stops in Europe, the band willalso play in Japan and Australia. “Just waituntil those Japanese get a look at ouranimals," he said.There has been much publicity about the ZZ Top stage show, which includes amongother things a stage shaped like Texas, a Quadrisect, formed in 1976, is a collectiveof four Chicago creative musicians whodecided, after years of collaboration onother projects, to pursue textural concernsin greater depth — in a collectively im¬provised setting. They will perform newcompositions at Ida Noyes Hall, 1212 E. 59thStreet, at 8 pm on Friday, February 18th.The elimination of the traditional“rhythmsection" (by no means a radical step initself) is only one aspect of the groups ap¬proach to musical independence and in¬terdependence. Quadrisect's instrumentalresources include all types of percussion, aswell as brass, woodwind, electronic andvocal capabilities. The quartet comprisesDouglas Ewart, James Johnson, MwataBowden on reeds and percussion, andGeorge Lewis on brass and synthesizer. OnMarch 13, Quadrisect will also appear atN.A.M.E. Gallery.bull and two buzzards. Bill Gibbons thoughtit was ironic that he had risen to the pin¬nacle of success only to have to “dodgethose damn birds."Talking to the members of Z Z Top on thephone, one realizes that they are the bestsort of good ol' boys, just out to have a goodtime. And when they play tomorrow night,the Rumproller will be right there, in theaudience smoking reefer and cheering like amadman with everyone else.

Many of theevents were 40 yard events to suit Mun¬delein’s ability.But Chicago swimmers clearly demon¬strated their prowess at the usual distances,with most of the team setting personalrecords. Ann Merryfield took first in the 200free style and the 100 yard butterfly,swimming her best in both. Peggy Culp wonthe 40-yard breaststroke and went on to setthe school record in the 100-yard free andfirst in the 500 free, in a time that was 15seconds under her previous best.It was a good night for everybody. ChrisDahl won the 100-yard backstroke and tookthird in the 80-yard individual medley toKathy Weber’s first. Sarah Sadow took firstin the 100 free and Annette Meyer placedsecond in both the 200 and 40 yard free style.The high point of the evening was seniorNoel Bairey’s exhibition attempt to qualifyfor Nationals in the 400 individual medly, agrueling event that requires 100 yards ofeach of the four main strokes. Pushed onlyby the cheers of the crowd Bairey made thequalifying time and then some. Her 5:00.69was 12 seconds faster than what she neededand is presently the seventh fastest time inthe country.“I was pretty sure I could do it,” saidBairey after the race, “I was only twoseconds off in workout yesterday asnd Iknew that if I was rested I could make thetime.”Vadis Cothran (In kerchief) had the highpoint total for the Maroons last Monday.(Photo by Jon Wright) ‘‘But,’ she added, “I didn’t know I wasgoing that fast.”Not that she would have missed going toNationals. Already she has qualified in the50, 100 and 200 yard free and the 200 in¬dividual medly.The other nice touch to the evening oc-cured when athletic Chairman Mary JeanMulvaney and a broadly smiling athleticdirector Jeff Metcalfee presented bouquetsto the five departing seniors. JeanneTanabe, Annette Meyer, Chris Dahl, KathyWeber and Bairey all went up to receive theflowers and the accolades of the crowd.Looking back on his first season aswomen’s coach Randy Block admitted tobeing pretty satisfied. “It was a pleasantsurprise, he said, “I figured we might notwin any duel meets but I thought we mightsend a few to Nationals. So far only Noel hasqualified but we’re hoping for Peggy Culp tomake it in either the 100 or 200 breastrokeor both.”“Our basic problem,” he continued, “isthat we’ve got outstanding swimmers butnot a hell of a lot of depth. ”He also noted that a greater problem wasthe facilities. “At least we were in Bartlettfor this one,” he said, “Ida is like the Northatlantic with all the waves. ”The columnThe various crew clubs have not beendormant over the long winter months. Thewomen’s crew especially has still beenkeeping their outrageous hours of practice.In addition, Sue Urbas, president of thewomen’s crew, was elected last month to bevice president of the Midwest region of theNational Women’s Rowing Association. Shewill be taking over from Carrie Graves, forWisconsin rower and member of theOlumpic bronze medal wining eight.During her two year term, Urbas will beresponsible for overseeing the annualregional regatta and for the coordination ofrowing activities in Illinois, Wisconsin,Minnesota, Michigan and Nebraska.The men’s crew has not been idle either.They recently purchased an Italian“Donarotica” eight man racing shell fromWilliams College. The boat cost $1,500 plusshipping and handling and was paid for outof the club association contingency fund.There has been another dimension addedto The Great Sweatsuit Controversy. In thelast episode it will be remembered that thisreporter hinted that the swim team had nosweats because the original sweats had allwalked away. The implication was thatteam members left with them as souvenirs.Not so, says Coach Bill Vendl. “If anymember of the team had taken the sweats Icould take care of it,” he said. One imaginesthe scenario. In front of his friends, hisfamily and 2,000 other convocation fans the But he also pointed out the basic reasonsfor his satisfaction with the season. “Morethan half the swimmers beat their previouserrant swimmer is told he will not receivehis diploma until his sweatsuit is turned in.Crushed, he returns to his seat. Ap-At the NCAA Minnesota Governors CupSki Championships held February 12 atWelch, Minnesota the University of ChicagoSki Club finished 9th out of 16 colleges anduniversities in giant slalom competition.The cup was won by the University ofWisconsin-Eau Clair in the men’s com¬petition. In the individual competition, BobGuthrie, a CAN-AM racer, Buck Hill skiteam member and Normandale College aceraced through the Giant Slalom course in21.5 seconds to win first place. Steve Welch,from Madison Area Technical College, tookhome the gold medal in the slalom event.Maroon racers Ralph Carpenter, John V.Prunskis, Dave Lezak and Steve Thomashad times of 27.4, 29.0, 29.6, and 30.2respectively in the Giant Slalom. In thetreacherous slalom, Lezak was the onlyMaroon who finished. Chicago racers werehampered by equipment difficulties andwere consequently prevented fromexhibiting their true potential.In the women’s competition, Chicago arch best time at every meet. I’ve heard ofpeople peaking for a big meet, but I’venever heard of any team doing that. ”Darently what happened to the things is thatthey were stolen over the summer two yearsago.rival Carleton college was the victor in theoverall tally The University of Chicago,represented by Virginia McDivott wasunable to field the three racers necessaryfor a team in the women’s category. Mostmissed was the presence of Beth Dorris,who placed fourth in an NCAA sanctionedrace at Olympia, Wisconsin last Wed¬nesday.Actually, the meet last week was the firsttime the Maroons had put a women’s teamtogether, and the first time was a charm.Racing against some of the top teams inthe Midwest, including the Universities ofWisconsin of Madison, Oshkosh, andMilwaukee, the Chicago women tooksecond. In addition to Dorris’ fourth placefinish, McDivott, Jenny Yarrel, and DeniseBerry all placed in the top ten.The club will compete this weekend at theIowa Governor’s Cup and at either theMidwest Collegiate Ski Association races atWelch, Minnesota or at the NCAA RegionalChampionships at Mount Ripley, Michigan.SportsUrbas picked, sweats swipedUC ski team finishes ninth asWisconsin dominates NCAA meetCagers lose to GWWomen prepare for state tourneyBy R.W. ROHDEMonday night the University’s women’sbasketball team lost a tough 59-48 decisionto George Williams college, last year’s statechampions.But with a spot in the state tourney sewedup, the Maroons are mainly concerned withgaining experience against top teams fromother leagues. Chicago lost by two points toConcordia, runner-ups to the champions lastyear, in a game last week.Both Chicago and George Williams shot 38percent from the field, good percentages inwomen’s basketball. But the Maroons onlygot off 55 shots to the Indians’ 67. The extrashots resulted from George Williamsdomination of the boards, primarily in thefirst half. The Maroons got only six defen¬sive rebounds in that half, and were down bynine at halftime.The second half saw more aggressive play18-The Chicago Maroon-Friday, February 18, by the Maroons. They pulled down 17defensive rebounds, but both Vadis Cothranand Paula Markowitz found themselves foultrouble. The team was playing catch-up ballall the way, and although they started tolook good at the end, it was too late.Top performers for the Maroons wereVadis Cothran who had 15 points, and JanetTorrey who had 14. Claire Omer also put onan excellent shooting display, hitting 4 of 4shots from the field.Coach Pat Kirby commented on the samesaying that overall, “the team looked a littleragged. We had a very good defense, but notenough attempted shots. I tell the girls weneed 70-80 to win.” As for the future, shesaid, “We hope to start gathering steam forstate.”The state tournament is only two weeksaway, and the Maroons have just threegames before then. The first is tonight,against Knox, at 7 PM in Ida Noyes Gym.1977 Janet Torrey (20) played a good floor game for Chicago against George Williams(Photo by Jon Wright)CLASSIFIED ADSSPACEF grad std seeks studio apt SPRINGqtr or academic yr 77-78 : 752-5482.Roommate wanted to sharespacious, sunny So.
