The Chicago MaroonVol. 86, No. 38 The University of Chicago Tuesday, February 22,1977Radio monitor strengthens Faculty Council begins vote onlink between Chicago police Presidential Search Committeeand University securityKnox Hill, Secretary of the Faculties, will supervise the balloting forfaculty members of the Presidential Search Committee, following aprocedure he labelled “more democratic” than the last Presidentialsearch.By N.S. BAERRadio calls to Universitysecurity cars are now received byChicago police patrol cars in thearea as part of a new effort atcoordination and cooperationinitiated by the city and Universitypolice two months ago.There are ten patrol carsassigned to the area and one un¬marked car equipped with theradio monitor.The Chicago police made thedecision to install the monitors inorder to speed up the city police’sresponse to calls received byUniversity security.Jonathan Kleinbard, Universityvice-president for communityaffairs said that “The installationof the radios may have been theDistrict Commander’s decision.”Walter Johns, supervisors ofelectronics maintenance for theChicago police department, alsosaid that the monitor system wasinitiated by 21st District Com¬mander George MacMahon.“The request to install themonitors came from the DistrictCommander,” said Johns.Commander MacMahon con¬firmed that the decision to installthe radios was his. “I discussed theidea with David O’Leary (Directorof University security) and EarlJohnson, the Deputy Chief for ourdistrict, who cleared me for the project,” MacMahon said. “Therewas absolutely no cost to theUniversity,” he added.The record cold temperaturesmakes an assessment of the ef¬fectiveness of the program dif¬ficult at this point, according topolice officials.MacMahon reported that thepatrolmen like the new system.Patrolman Chester Ciotuszynskisaid that “The radio is a goodidea.”“I think we’ll have more successin the apprehension of criminals inthe University community,” headded.Both the University and theChicago police stress thatcooperation and joint effort are thereasons for the system. “TheChicago police is the civil authorityso we try to cooperate with them asmuch as possible”, said Kleinbard.He added that the city policedepartment and the Universitysecurity department try to com¬municate as much as possible.Watch Commander Clark of thecity police said “we get along verywell with the University police”and that “the installation of theradios was a cooperative effortbetween the University and theChicago police”.Radio to 3 By DAVID BLUMIn an effort to complete selectionof the Presidential Search Com¬mittee by mid-March, the FacultyCouncil is being canvassed by mailfor nominees to the trustee —faculty committee.The voting, limited to the 51members of the Council of theUniversity Senate, started lastweek, and a list of nominees will becompiled shortly after theFebruary 28 ballot deadline. As inprevious elections, any member ofthe University Senate — whichincludes all full-time facultymembers — is eligible fornomination to the panel.Robert W. Reneker, chairman ofthe Board of Trustees, announcedtwo weeks ago the selection of sixtrustees to serve on the searchcommittee. While the an¬nouncement had been generallyexpected by most faculty andadministrators, no advance noticewas given to most University of¬ficials by either Wilson or thetrustees.“It's actually coming a littlelater than I expected,” said KnoxHill, Secretary of the Faculties andsupervisor of the balloting process.“I really didn’t know the an¬nouncement was coming.” Helater speculated that the trusteesmade their choices now since theyhave no meetings scheduled untilApril 14.The pressure to begin work onthe selection of a successor toWilson has been growing sinceWilson first accepted the job over a year ago. Wilson reluctantlyagreed to accept the presidency inNovember of 1975, after a year offruitless deliberations.In the intervening months, asmore became known about thesearch committee’s difficulty infinding a successor to EdwardLevi, informal discussion hadbegun concerning the early for¬mation of a search committee inanticipation of Wilson’s 65th bir¬thday in March of 1979. ButReneker disclosed two weeks agothat Wilson had asked for and received assurances from thetrustees that he could step down inJune of 1978, one year prior to themandatory retirement date.The procedure being followed toselect the faculty members, saidHill, is “more democratic,”" sinceit allows all members of the Coun¬cil to vote by mail. In 1974, theFaculty Council mciuaea tnenomination and selectionprocedure on the agenda of aCouncil meeting, thereby ex¬cluding all those not present at themeeting from the voting process.Report slow salesPress’s Text/Fiche gets mixed reaction on campusBy EARL ANDREWSWhen the University Press lastyear introduced a new microformpublication called Text/Fiche(TF), the Press heralded it as “aninnovation in publication.”However, the new product metwith only a lukewarm responseamong its potential users oncampus. Art librarians atRegenstein and the Oriental In¬stitute question the usefulness ofthe device and question theUniversity Press’s hopes fordeveloping a home market.First put on the market in July1976, Text Fiche is similar toconventional microfilm, but iscontained on small cards ratherthan on film. Each fiche card canhold up to 84 transparent images,similar to photographic slides,either in color or black and white,and can be viewed through a table-top reader or a hand-held viewer.Most of the Press’s Fichepublications are series of originalartworks or historicalphotographs; each Fiche packetcontains on the average, threecards and comes with a bookletdescribing each image in detail.Wendy Strothman, managingeditor of the TF program, seeslibraries and school art depart¬ments as the immediate users ofTF. Her long range plans for thecards are more ambitious.“Eventually,” she said, “we wouldlike to introduce Text Fiche intothe private home ”Strothman also points to low bulk of TF in comparison to original anworks, prints, or slides and TF’spotential to “bring out into theopen many unknown museumcollections” that have either beendestroyed since they werephotographed or have simply beenforgotten.The Press’s optimism for thewidespread publication of the newcards has not yet been confirmedin TF sales. “There is a muchwider spread use than the marketcapability would indicate,” Stroth¬ man said. “It’s somewhat of arisk.” she added.Possible users of TF at theUniversity agree. Despite theheavy concentration on art in theTF publications, the University artlibrary has not purchased any ofthe cards.Scott Stapleton, assistant incharge of Goodspeed Art Library,cites longevity and comparibilityas problems with the newpublication. Although Stapletonadmits that the Art Library has not purchased any of the TFpublications, he claims “the fichejust doesn’t last very long.” andfurther, “comparibility is essentialto serious art study. At this time,no projector can do this.”Stapleton also stresses the im¬portance of portability: “Booksand prints can be checked out, butthe use of Text/Fiche is restrictedto the location of a reader.” Hesaid the portability of the hand¬held TF viewer “introduces aproblem of clarity” in viewing thefiche images.Regenstein Library has notpurchased any of the TFpublications either Ray Gadke,microform librarian, stated,“None of the book selectors hasrequested the fiche titles” and that“we have, in original form, most ofwhat the Press is putting out.”Gadke indicated the library’spolicy of “avoiding duplication ofmaterials” and believes that TFappeals to “a broader type ofaudience than the users of thislibrary.” The microform divisiondoes have a large selection ofconventional microfiche (wordsrather than pictures) and reportsGadke, “most all our fiche areEuropean produced; they seem tohave a world-wide market andcheaper labor costs which allowthem to sell at a lesser price (thanthe Press might).”Two of the TF publications areconcerned with collections ofpictures from the Oriental In¬ stitute. John Brinkman, director ofthe Institute, expressed un¬certainty about the future of theprogram. “It might work, it mightnot. Its entirely experimental.”Further, Brinkman noted, “Manypeople dislike having to buy thereader” (the table model sells for$198.50, the hand model for 34.95)and that “some people just preferworking with a book or the originalprints.”When asked about the criticismsof TF, Strothman admitted that theprogram is still in its early stages,and hopes that more people willuse it.“We have to make more than oneor two books in order to makeText/Fiche succeed.” she said. “Ifyou could read 20 books in Tex¬t/Fiche, it would be worth the $200investment in a viewer.”Strothman also said that T/F’sbulkiness would not matter to artlibraries and students. TF’s ad¬vantages lie' in its ability toreproduce color images. Art bookstend to use black and white prints,which are not as useful to thestudent.A source at the Press disclosedthat recently T/F has been cur¬tailed because it was not sellingwell. Howard Levin, an employeeat the Press who worked with TFrecently quit when the programseemed to be failing. The sourcedisclosed that Levin quit over theTF issue, but Levin could not bereached for commentA new microtorm marketed by the University Press, heraldedss “an Innovation In publishing,” has received a lukew arm receptionin University libraries.CalendarTuesdayMeetingsVoter Registration: llam-2pm, Cobb Hall.Register in time for the Special MayoralElection.Conceptual Foundations of Science Com¬mittee: Students in the Morris FishbeinCenter for the Study of the History of Scienceand Medicine and the Conceptual Foun¬dations of Science invite students interestedin History and Philosophy of Science, to jointhem for lunch every Tuesday, l-2pm,Classics 21.Symphony Fans: Get order forms for March16 University Night tickets at SAO, IdaNoyes 210.Ki-Aikido: 6:15pm, Bartlett.Christian Science Organization: 5pm, EastLounge, Ida Noyes.LecturesThe National Humanities Institute: “ModernTheories of the Text: The Structure of Marx’s18th Brumaire & Flaubert’s SentimentalEducation,” Hayden White, 2pm, Harper 130.Smart Gallery: “Akbar. the Grand Mughal,”C.M.

You mayhave seen it out of the corner of your eye.But you should walk over and take a look.When the weather gets nice, and you’relooking for an excuse lo leave Hyde Park,you should make a special trip to see it.The station is old; it was built in 1885 andits age shows. Rand McNally’s “IllustratedViews of Chicago” from the 1890s tells usthat, “when this beautiful building waserected it was one of the principal ar¬chitectural spectacles of the town.”Illustrations in this book depict abeautiful, almost haunting building withsloping roofs, a brazen dragon on its tower,and carriages waiting along a busy PolkStreet.Today, the station’s stones are coveredwith soot. Brick and sheet metal havereplaced much of its glasswork. A Flemisharchitectural style with battlements andtower makes it look a bit like an ancientfortress. The white faces of its tower clocksare each stopped at different times andgreen snakes of bronze gutter are frozenalong the station wails. The long eve thatoverhangs the front of the station was oncefitted with panes of glass. Now the glass isblackened or missing. The peaked roofswere lost years ago in a fire.The station is normally locked, but Imanaged to lie my way inside. The waitingrooms were shuttered and silent and a finecoat of dust covered everything; the hugeRadio from 1The relationship between the city policeand the security department is changing.“We are a police department and they are asecurity department, MacMahon said.“We didn’t realize the nature of theiroperation. Over the past three years I’vebecome aware of the hundreds of calls thatthey receive.”MacMahon reported that the University isa “unique area”. “We have a dual policeforce in the area,” he said, “but most of ourguys can handle it.” “There are somedisadvantages to working out there.” headded.Some members of the security depart- oak benches, the soda fountain and themotionless escalator. The interior wasremodeled sometime in the 1950’s and Ifound little that resembled the descriptionfrom the Rand McNally “Bird’s Eye Viewand Guide to Chicago” from the 1890s, “thegreat fireplaces,.. .the marble fittings of itsbasement region, the busy scenes attendingthe departure and arrival of trains for six,great railroads. . . vast numbers of im¬migrants go west by way of this station. . .”It wasn’t difficult to imagine thosewestbound immigrants or some of the trainsment however, indicate that cooperation isnot the only motive.“I feel that the University wanted theradios so that the Chicago police officerscould be responsible for not responding,” amember of the security department said.Several University patrolmen aredissatisfied because they have to respond tocity police calls as well as to Universitycalls.According to one University patrolman,“In the security department we monitorcalls of the city police and respond to them.At least ninety percent of the time werespond to our own calls and their callsfirst.”“It’s mostly paperwork for the 21st,” headded. from those six, great railroads arriving anddeparting. The Santa Fe Super Chief, “thetrain for glamor,” went out of Dearbornstation every night, bound for Hollywoodand the west coast. Another important trainleaving Dearborn was “the only traindeparting Chicago for a foreign destination”--the Maple Leaf, headed for Toronto withconnections for Montreal.The most striking aspect of the buildingwas the dark train shed and architecturallythe most valuable, as an example of early train shed construction. The shed was muchlarger than the station itself and the day Isaw it it was eerie, with dusty light from faraway windows playing on the empty tracks.Last fall The train shed had beendemolished. Weeds were growing amid theconcrete rubble and jumbles of railroadties. Chicago is short on a sense of past andtends to eliminate much of its importantarchitecture. But the last time I looked.Dearborn Street Station was still standing atDearborn and Polk. See it before it’s gone.m UNIVERSITYSYMPHONYORCHESTRABarbara Schubert.

Grant Wagner and JackForeman, the names, have a made-for-TVring about them Like something out of theHardy Boys (or Nancy Drew), two youngmen (or people) spend three years ad¬venturing, bicycling from Chicago toBuenos Aires. Chicago. Illinois, to BuenosAires, Argentina — a total of 10,000 bumpy,rocky, rough miles. They meet nuns, rob¬bers, fair senoritas, and wizened oldrestauranteers. Despite sickness, stormyskies, and stolen bikes, they stumble intoBuenos Aires, and are gifted with free planetickets home, like a kid’s book deus exmachina. Grant Wagner and JackForeman, the people, are real. They wantothers to hear their story.They hope to write about their thousandday of pedalling through the heartland of theUnited States, down the eastern Mexicancoast, through the banana republics, and oninto South America — skirting theUniversity’s south campus in Chile andcutting across Bolivia to Argentina.Foreman doesn’t want it to be a book thatis to show up in print, sell a few copies, andin a couple of years end up on O’Gara’scheapie junk book table. Foreman, now 25,and Wagner. 23, are both English majors, apossible plus in book-writing. A book aboutadventure, Foreman envisions, an ad¬venture book different from all others thathave ever been written. Wagner andForeman kept journals during their three-year absense from the Quads, making noteson the times they were hungry and a kindlypriest gave them watery- soup and the timesthey sweated when the Argentinian military-police suspected them as insurgents anddidn’t understand what a passport was.The two don’t know when they’ll write itall down. Back at school they are strugglinglike a thousand others, they say, to keeptheir heads above piles of books, and reamsof term papers, finishing off the last fewquarters of their undergraduate degrees.“It seems like the trip never happened,”Wagner said.It’s difficult for the two friends to connecttheir present lives, tramping the wetsidewalks of the wintery campus, passingfrom Greenwood to Regenstein, with theafternoon they pushed off from Lincoln andWilson atop Peugeot PX 10’s, November 4,1973.It was during the school year 1972-73,when this year’s college seniors were stillthe stars of their high school senior classes,that Wagner and Foreman began to tossaround the idea of the adventure. Theymade a few phone calls to consulates,inquiring about visiting the various coun¬tries.“We were told we’d never make it,” saidForeman. “In fact a woman at theGuatemalan consulate told us that it wouldbe illegal to take our bikes into Guatemala.That never materialized.” By May Wagnerand Foreman were certain they would goand thought the trip might take a year or so.They banked their summer earnings andmade a few plans. The pair knew they oughtto learn Spanish, learn how to fix the bikes,and perhaps study a little bit about wherethey were going.Sheepishly, Wagner admits, “We meantto do some of those things, but never reallydid.” Finally, when they hit the Mexicanborder, they broke out the Spanish gram¬mar books and feverishly studied. Even¬tually, out of necessity they learned thelanguage fluently. In Panama they bought“The South American Handbook” to fillthemselves in about the countries they, likePisarro, intended to conquer.Although Wagner and Foreman didn’tstudy or train physically for the trip, itseems the two were naturally prepared —sturdy, confident, and curious. It was the first lengthy bike trip either had attemptedand Wagner's mother took some convincing.(“I still haven’t convinced her,” he added.)Just a year before they left for the Rio de laPlata Foreman and Wagner had purchasedthe ten speeds on the spur of the moment inOregon. Wagner had to come back toChicago immediately, but Foreman hoppedon his bike and set off on a short 200 mile tripup to Washington state.“He didn’t have any tools. In fact, hewasn’t really sure that the bike was alltogether,” said Wagner. “When he took offfrom Portland, I just couldn’t believe it.”Foreman laughs it off, explaining that hehas always been adventureous. When hewas three, he remembers, he went off withan older colleague, all of four years, andwandered to a neighborhood two and a halfmiles from his home in Pittsburgh. Thepolice picked them up. In the partnershipwith Wagner. Foreman is the elder voice ofexperience. Wagner began hi$ adventuringcareer when he and Foreman rode freighttrains out to Portland that summer.Foreman’s idea to go on the Latin Americantrip Wagner was fascinated by the notionthat the broad North American continentnarrows down into a strip of land inPanama, then balloons out again into anentire, exotic, unfamiliar set of peoples. Hewondered what was down there. Theywanted an adventure, to see and learn aboutother people.“We knew nothing about Latin America.We had the generalities, but we really didn’tanticipate what it would be like,” Foremansaid. “I really, honestly didn’t think about itthat much. I never thought about runninginto problems of military coup’s, dirty food,dirty water, and disease.”Wagner and Foreman decided to take thetrip on a day-to-day basis, convinced theycould solve problems as they came up. Theyhad a basic itinerary, but specific routeswere worked out daily, the year journeyinconspicuously slipping into three.Sometimes they remained in a town for afew days or weeks. On the road they wouldstop to swim or examine ruins in the fieldsand hillsides. They would plan to bike to acertain town each day, covering 20 to 30miles in the first few days of the journey andreaching 45 or 50 by its conclusion. Theyonce covered 100 miles in a day. Sometimesthey ended up pushing their bikes. Whenthey departed Chicago, they were loadeddown with tools, sleeping bags, tent, a stovewhich they never used in the three years,camera, a few clothes, a couple of Faulknernovels, Spanish books, and Anybody’s BikeBook. Mid-afternoon on that chillyNovember day, Foreman and Wagnerbundled in Sierra Design parkas and leathercycling shoes. They had meant to leave inOctober when it would have been warmer,but Foreman, in typical U of C fashion, hadprocrastinated in finishing an incomplete inRomantic poetry. They left Wagner’s homewith absolutely no idea where they wouldspend the night.“It was the only night we didn’t plan,”Wagner said. They struck out toward thejungle of suburbs west, sailed throughneighborhoods where shouts of “Hey,whitey” made Wagner ill at ease, and gotlost. They finally made it to Justice, Illinois,about 30 miles from Chicago, and camped ina cemetery.Until reaching Arkansas, Foreman andWagner camped out every night. Theyanti .ipated camping the whole crip, but onenight they absolutely couldn’t find a grassyspot to throw their sleeping bags. Theyturned to the institution that has long beensalvation for the wretched, sick, and poor —the church. A local minister obligingly of¬fered them a carpeted Sunday school roomfloor, inaugurating a long series of nightsspent in churches. Wagner and Foremaneventually expanded the church idea torestaurant owners, newspaper writers, an£4-The Chicago Maroon Tuesday, February 22,1977 English majors Jack Foreman and Grant Wagner pose with their trusty PeugeotPX 10's in Buenos Aires. The all-American cyclists spoke well for the UnitedStates.other strangers who would offer them aspare room, bed. or couch. — and thosestrangers’ friends in the next town up theroad. They soon realized than that theycouldn't camp outside all the time, becauseof nagging insects, inclement weather, androcky, barren terrain. Except for Argen¬tina, the countryside provides somethingless than verdant hills, milk, and honey,Foreman recalls. But he adds anothermajor reason that sent them packing in¬doors: thieves.“In the poorer countries, you just couldn’tsleep outside,” noted Foreman.Wagner said they faced daily the threeproblems of finding a place to sleep, food,and a shower. Outside the States, finding thethree requisites was often quite a task. Theminiscule dirt-road towns were hardlystocked with Del Prado’s and McDonald’s.It was also sometimes difficult to judge thesize of a town from their map — and oc¬casionally, the maps were downrightmisleading. Foreman remembers aGuatemalan town marked on a Triple Amap as a fairly good-sized town which theyalmost missed as they cycled through it.Sometimes, Foreman and Wagner woulddecide on the day’s journey, set out for whatseemed to be a nice town on the map, andwhen they got there, they would bedismayed to find a sprinkling of ramshacklebuildings. Wagner remembers that once inMexico they had to go on, cycling at night,pitting themselves against the vagaries ofinsects, snakes, Mexican traffic, wheretrucks drive without headlights and recklessspeeding is only checked when a policemanwants to extort and pocket the traffic fine.“One time,” Foreman recollects, “we hadjust biked through a desert and we hadplanned to go to a nice town and rest for acouple of days. When we got to the town, itwas a rotten place — it was just terrible. Wewere just too tired to go on and had to staythere.”The pair ate at restaurants, and wereoften treated by the proprietors or othercustomers, and they were offered meals atmany homes and churches. It wasn’t easy tobuy food. Markets weren’t held every day,but the travellers sometimes managed tobuy fruit. Wagner exclaimed, “In Bolivia,they hardly have food.” Like the Bolivians, he and Foreman existed on “rice, potatoes,bread, and water.”He continued, “We had a lot of troublewith breakfast all throughout the trip.Outside of Mexico — especially in Argentina— they just don’t eat breakfast.” Wagnerand Foreman would go from restaurant torestaurant, asking for eggs. But eating eggsin the morning there, Wagner said, would belike eating pizza for breakfast here. Thepeople usually drink a cup of coffee andnibble a crust of bread in the morning. “Youjust can’t bicycle 25 miles on a crust ofbread,” Wagner laughs.What kept them going was the warmthand friendliness they encountered in everysmall town, every big city, restaurant,church, farmer, and businessman from hereto Argentina. Foreman and Wagner wantedto meet people on their trip, to see how theylived, to get to know them — and meet themthey did. The two students were less con¬cerned about covering miles than aboutseeing the country and the people. Mosteverywhere they went they were welcomedand given the red carpet treatment. On theirsecond night out in Henry, Illinois, aftereating in the dining room of an old-fashionedhotel, the owner offered to put them up sinceit was a bitter 20 degrees outside. They saythe hospitality they found everywhere in theStates was amazing. But in Latin America,the two feel another tradition, distinct fromjust pure hospitality, worked to their ad¬vantage.“We were able to make the trip becausethey have a tradition of helping sportsmen,”Foreman said. Sports are incrediblypopular down there, he said, but the peopleare often too poor to buy equipment, so thereis a strong attitude of cooperation andhelping sportsmen. “We can’t conceive ofhow popular sports is down there,” hecontinued, “especially boxing.” Americanboxer George Foreman is especially well-known. “I think every time I mentioned myname, someone asked me if I was related tothe boxer.”But Foreman and Wagner underestimatethemselves. Despite tradition and good oldcountry hospitality, it isn’t surprising thatpeople everywhere would open their arms tothis particular pair — very tall, cleanout,square-shouldered, good-lookin Americanboys. Who could resist helping two not-so-helpless youths, far from their homes, whowere worrying their mothers and doingwhat most people dream of — taking off andseeing the world Wagner and Foremanweren’t harassed or resented for beingAmericans. They weren’t accused of beingrich and bougeois brats. People admiredtheir bicycles, their clothes, theirbelongings. Foreman and Wagner feel theywere liked and accepted, in part because oftheir attitude toward the people. They saythey were straight-forward, unlike manyother Americans the Latins encounter.Foreman said there are two types ofAmericans who usually wander around theSouth American countryside: collegestudents, and hopeless drifters trying to“get back to nature.” The college studentsare welcome, but Foreman and Wagnerfound the people they met had had morethan enough of the other type.Foreman said, “The people there haven’treached the level of rejecting materialismyet. The day they buy a transistor radio islike the day someone here buys adreamhouse. They just can’t understand thepeople who come down, throw off their goodclothes, and wallow in the mud.”Wagner adamantly agrees, “Too manypeople had the hippie-type attitude —everything is good, dirt is good, the water’sgood. They would eat and drink everything.They’d walk around in Indian clothes —rags — sick with hepatitis. And peoplewould stare at them. But these people aren’tIndians. The Indians know' tney are notIndians.”Well-treated everywhere — exceptperhaps Columbia, the two think — theyBreezed through Latin America withamazingly few' problems, legal, physical, ormechanical. The carefully-tended Peu-eot’s never let them down. Wagner andoreman carried tools and a few necessaryspare parts, like tire tubes, but they knew iftney had to replace a wheel or a deraileur. itcould take months. They were occasionallysick or bruised, but no bones were broken.The first minor problem involvedForeman’s pair of $25 sunglasses. Beforethey entered Mexico the duo had purchasedsome insurance, just to be on the safe side.Hardly inside Mexico, the glasses disap¬peared at the hotel where they were staying.Foreman still isn’t sure whether the glasseswere lost or stolen, but he w'anted to file aclaim with the insurance. In order to dothat, he had to report the theft to the police.“When I told the police in the town, they said‘Oh! Stolen sunglasses. We’ll have to in¬vestigate,’ ” Foreman said. They came tothe hotel, began nosing around, and endedup closing it down, herding the owner andworkers off to jail.“The last time we saw them,” Wagnersaid, “they were behind bars.” They thinkthe police forced the owner to fork over thecost of the glasses, ostensibly to reimburseto Foreman, but in reality to fill their ownpockets. Wagner and his comrade saidthat’s the way the law works in LatinAmerica. He said, “There is nothing you cando if you don’t have a friend higher up.”Seven months out of Chicago Wagner andForeman encountered fraternal twinproblems which proved almost fatal to thetrip, causing a six-month interruption. InMay of 1974, Wagner’s bike was stolen inVeracruz from the house where they were staying. Wagner was up early, as he usuallywas, had packed his gear and put his bicyclein the living room downstairs. Foreman, thesleepier of the two, was still in the upperpart of the house packing. Wagner wentupstairs for just two minutes to say good¬bye, leaving his bike inside near the doorand visible from the street.“When I came back, it was gone.Everything — bike, packs, traveller’scheques, passport. The thieves hadvanished,” Wagner recounted. Foremanscreamed in anger and Wagner burst intofrustrated tears. “I threw down my hat,”Wagner said. “And — what was so funny —a guy picked it up. He wanted to buy it! ”The pair ended up spending a month inMexico City, trying to find a way out of theirpredicament. Wagner stayed in Veracruz afew days, working with the police, whileForeman went back to Mexico City. Theyhad struck on an ingenious plan, the onlyway they could imagine they'd ever see thebike again: they would go to thenewspapers, radio, and television and makethe bike too well-known to be of any use tothe thieves. They had already been on anews program in the city, once before. Forthree weeks, Foreman explained they wereobsessed with the problem of the bicycletheft. He said when they weren't ontelevision or radio or talking to newspaperreporters, they were writing letters toAmerican equipment manufacturers,asking them do donate needed replacementitems. They eventually got a few things likepacks, rain jackets, and first aid kit.Foreman was extremely upset by the loss ofWagner’s bike — perhaps even more thanWagner himself. Foreman is more vocalabout it than his soft-spoken comrade. Hewasn’t as concerned with the monetary loss— both he and Wagner each spent about$1000 on their bikes and equipment — as hewas with the fell swoop of fate.“As adventurous as I am,” Foreman said.“It was a traumatic experience. I felt it wasa tremendous injustice that someone outthere had actually done this thing thatcompletely ruined our plans and altered mylife.Their publicity campaign worked andshortly everyone in Mexico City knew aboutthe stolen bike. It was even somewhat of anational issue, the two friends insist. Peoplewould stop them on the street and ask aboutthe bikes, point at them in restaurants,surround them for autographs.Luck seemed to be going their way whenthey found a bike manufacturer who agreedto give Wagner a magnificent bike in ex¬change for all the publicity he’d receive forpresenting them with it. But when the flash¬bulbs and photographers died away, themanufacturer switched bikes, handingover a low-quality bicycle that would neverbrave the long, rough riding ahead. Theysold the bike and decided to go back toVeracruz to offer a reward.Returning to their friend’s house. Wagnerand Foreman discovered that the familyhad received phone threats of death fromthe thieves and that three weeks earliertheir friend’s wife had been coerced intocashing Wagner’s American Expresstraveller’s cheques worth $250 Wagnerthinks the theives probably forged his nameon the supposedly fool-proof cheques andmade her cash them at the bank —ironically, the American Express headquarters in Veracruz. Against thewishes of their friends, they went to a localnewspaper with the story. The dawnfollowing the page two headline. “Threats ofDeath to Local Family,” the bikemysteriously reappeared where W’agnerhad left it over a month before.“Everything was gone and the seat wasjammed down as far as it would go.” saidForeman. “That’s what really bothered meabout the bike theft — the bike was hardlyuseful to the thieves. They couldn't sell itand they couldn’t ride it. Mexicans are veryshort — they couldn't use a 25 inch bike.”A major problem conquered, Foremanand Wagner returned to Mexico city, only toface the coup de grace. The day they arrivedin the city, Foreman was stricken withhepatitis. The combined traumas nearlycancelled the balance of their journey.Besides his illness. Foreman explained,shaking his head, I had just had enough ofthe food. I had just had enough.” He flewhome to Pittsburgh and Wagner took a trainto Chicago. They both secured summer jobs.Wagner painted houses. Foreman drove acab.“We were always determined to go back,”Foreman remembers, “but I think the factthat we left the bicycles and equipmentbehind kind of forced us to go back.Obvious to everyone but them. Wagnerand Foreman weren’t going to let anyproblem, large or small, get in their way.Healthy, heartened, and with anothersummer’s money in the bank, they flewback to Veracruz and unpackaged theirbikes. They streamed through Guatemala.El Salvador, Honduras. Nicaragua, CostaRica, and Panama, where Wagnerdiscovered instead of the money he'd ex¬pected, a letter from his mother informinghim his financial fountain had run dry. Butthey went on, Wagner borrowing fromForeman for a year and a half. They took aboat to Columbia and road through Ecuadorand Peru, taking in the scenery and thepeople, knowing they should buy a few moreartifacts and momentos, knowing theyshould stop and unwrap the camera rolledup in their packed clothes. They cut acrossthe Andes and left the bikes in La Paz totake the train to Chile, spending thebicentennial Fourth of July, the middle ofthe South American winter, miserably sickin a depressing Chilean town. They bikedfrom La Paz through Bolivia to Argentina,to the coast, to their Mecca. Buenos Aires.The final problem of the trip Wagner andForeman have only just now surmounted,although they’ve been back in the Statessince December. They thought they hadarranged with Vargas Airlines to fly theirequipment home for free, but when theyarrived at the airport, they were met with ashipping bill for $500. Foreman and Wagnergot their tickets for nothing, from somePeugeot businessmen in Buenos Aires. Thecyclists had participated in Peugeot ad¬vertising stunt, leading a parade of littlegreen Peugeot mobiles through the streetsof Buenos Aires on their own well-provenPeugeot bikes. Informally through friendsand acquaintances, the pair thought theyhad settled a deal for their equipment, butthe Vargas employees in New York knew nothing of those in Argentina. After a fewsad weeks in New York, wondering wherethe $500 might come from, Foreman andWagner got the bill reduced to $180.Foreman’s mother sent off the check acouple of weeks ago and their belongingsare now sitting out at O’Hare.Soon they should have in their hands theconcrete reminders of their fantasticioumey — the silver bicycles, a handful ofclothes and trinkets. They will have thecollection of napkins and bits of paper thatrecord every cent Wagner borrowed fromhis friend, every donut and Coke he pur¬chased. Foreman said they’ll buy acalculator to add it all up. They estimatethat it cost each of them $3000, beyond theinitial $1000 investment in each bike and setof equipment. But especially, when thepackages arrive from New Vork, they’llhave their well-thumbed journals, the dailynotes they took for three years about thepeople they met and the places they saw.The people were most important.Back at the University, Wagner andForeman are just another couple ot studentscloistered in the library', packing sand¬wiches for Saturday night dinner. They’renothing special any more, and W’agneradmits the trip did spoil them a little. Peoplewere always interested in them, andrecognized them from their pictures inpapers and magazines. They signedautographs in Tampice and were recognizedeven in New York City by an Argentine manwho read of his country’s magazines.Wagner said they needed the attention tokeep them going sometimes. If people didn'tnotice them and didn't care, they weredepressed. The trip lost meaning for them,he said, if they couldn’t meet, talk, and getto know people.After three and a half long years. Wagnerand Foreman are not yet sick of living neareach other. They both live in apartments inGreenwood Hall. It’s not quite the same ascamping on the floor of a mud hut. Still closefriends, they laugh when they think aboutthe arguments they had on the trip. “We hadour ups and downs.” recalls Wagner, sha¬king his head, chuckling. “What reallymade it bad was the wine in Argentina.After a bottle of that cheap wine, just aboutanything could lead to an argument.” Onetime in northern Argentina, after a biglunch and plenty of wine, they argued aboutone thing or another and W’agner took off.leaving Foreman sulking in the town. Theyusually travelled close together. Foremanleft the town, barrelling down the steepmountain roads, his hold over the bikeweakened by the wine. He spun out ofcontrol and tumbled down a hill. Batteredand bruised. Foreman was laid up for fivedays.All the thoughts of the trip are recorded intheir journals or in their memories. Wagnerand Foreman want to get it all down onpaper before they forget anything. Insteadof a factual adventure story, maybe a novelbased on their experiences, something likeHuckleberry Finn. They want to preservethe tiny, primitive town 14.000 feet up on theBolivian Altiplano. “So isolated — at the topof the world.” They simultaneously call tomind the room, the candle, and the*colorfulhand-woven blanket on the bed. the lanternsat the restaurant down the street and theirsoft, bright glow. “Remember the sunset,”Wagner nudged Foreman’s thoughts, “thecolors. It was remote in time and place, andthe sky was just —” He waved his hand, at aloss for words. Foreman and Wagner hopethat the material they gathered on the tripwill provide their break into the journalismbusiness.For Grant Wagner and Jack Foreman,world adventurers, changing epithets toGrant Wagner and Jack Foreman, students,was as startling as switching channels fromThe World of Disney (“Go West. YoungDog”) to The French Chef (“OrangeBavarian Creme”). The problems oflocating a cheese Danish and making it upthe Cobb stairs in time for class are farremoved from the troubles of findingdrinkable water and reaching the next smalltown before dark. After a three-year sojournin the real world, the University of Chicagoseemed a bit strange to both Wagner andForeman. Wagner had looked forward to it,excited again about studying, wanting tolearn more about the places he had seen.He’s taking Latin American civ, when heisn’t even required to. Foreman hadnightmares about school since the two hitBolivia and it became apparent they’d beback for winter quarter. The place hasn’tchanged much, they say. Adding credenceto a widespread suspicion about un¬dergraduates here. Foreman said, “I’mshocked at how many of the same people arestill around. ”The Chicago Maroon Tuesday, February 22, 1977-5Cagers split two point weekendAlley near title: scores 47 in two gamesBy DAVID RIESERThe University men’s basketball teamdefied home court logic this weekend.On Friday night the team playedRoosevelt on the downtown campus’ hometurf and won 70-69. The next afternoonhowever the team returned to the friendlyconfines of Bartlett to lose a 69-68 heart-breaker to Ripon College.Against Roosevelt, Chicago had a thinhalftime lead but lost it to a strong half courtpress put up against them at the beginningof the second period. However Rooseveltwas missing their two offensive stars and was unable to take full advantage of thesituation.Slowly Chicago pulled back into the lead,making it a three point difference withseconds to go. Roosevelt’s final basket wasjust too late.Jay Alley aghin led Chicago scoring with20 points. Bret Schaeffer also had a goodnight with 17.Chicago had beaten Ripon on their owncourt and went out to a 5 point half-time leadagainst them. But again it was a half courtpress that forced the Maroons back. Ripon maintained a If) point lead most of the waythrough the second half.Actually, Chicago was lucky to be thatclose. Ripon out scored the Maroons fromthe floor and it was only the rough play ofthe Wisconsin school that kept Chicago atthe foul line and in the game.Still, the Maroons were able to stage oneof their last minute rallies in the last fourminutes to turn the game into a real barn¬burner. Chicago even took the lead severaltimes in the final moments but could nothold it With six seconds left and a one pointdeficit the Maroons brought the balldowncourt for the final shot.The shot went up, looked good but justmissed.Jav Alley again had a phenomenal af¬ternoon scoring 27 points and probablyclinching the divisional scoring title.The game against Ripon was the last ofChicago’s conference games, leaving theteam with a first year 3-5 conference record.The Maroons will be taking on Coe tonightand Grinnell this weekend, but both team’s Jay Alley (42) continued his league leadingshooting with 20 points against Rooseveltand 27 against Ripon. (Photo by DavidRieser)are outside the team's division and will notcount.The last home gaem will be against Coeand will take place, tonight at Bartlett Gym.starting at 8:00.Sports!M reportBadminton ends; Tufts Bongers grab for gustoBy R.W.
