Vol. 88, No. 22 The University of Chicago v The Chicago Maroon 1978 Friday, November 17, 1978Student group budgets cut;SG committee funds lowSG Finance Committee .•*- MMPhoto by Carol KlammerPolls close at 6 pm By Curtis BlackThe Student Government (SG)Finance Committee has allocatedall but $400 of its $30,000 budget for1978-79. A sharp increase over thelast three years in the number ofrecognized student organizationsand a $6000 loan to start a canteenin Regenstein Library are behindthe Committee’s shortage of funds.Union vote continues todayBy Nancy Cleveland the name and workplace of thechallenged voter. Once theeligibility of the voter is confirm¬ed, the tag is removed from thesealed envelope and all the clearedballots are mixed together, thenopened and counted, according toofficial NLRB procedure. After thepolls close at 6 pm tonight, allballots will be taken to J 141 andcounted by the NLRB, and resultswill be announced.Identity checkedAt the polls, the identity andeligibility of each voter is checkedby the NLRB agent and by Univer¬sity and union selected observerswho are empowered to challengeballots they find questionable.There are 60 observers represen¬ting Hospital Employees LaborProgram Teamsters Local 743(HELP) at the polls today, 12 atthe poll in the Brain Research In¬stitute. The University has 41observers, all drawn from non¬voting, monthly payroll personnel.On Tuesday, Klaron met withUniversity and union represen¬tatives to decide on the final list ofeligible workers. The names of 134workers were removed from thelist of eligibles, including thosewho had either quit, been fired, orpromoted into supervisory posi¬tions and thus made ineligible tovote. That figure represents aneight percent turnover in staff inthe two months since the list wasfirst established.Both this meeting to prune the“excelsior list’’ and the latermeeting with the 101 observerswere held on the University cam¬pus, not downtown at NLRB of¬fices, as reported in Tuesday’sMaroon.Local 743, which alreadyrepresents 900 University serviceand maintenance workers, alongwith the Service Employees Inter¬national Union (SEIU) AFL-CIOlocal #73, have been attempting toorganize clerical workers at theUniversity for the past two years.In 1966, the two Locals joined toform a new organizing body, theHospital Employees Labor Pro¬gram (HELP). HELP was formedto prevent 73 and 743 from“raiding’’ each other's organizingattempts. Raiding occurs when themembers of a collective bargain¬ing unit already represented byone union are approached byanother union and asked to switchtheir affiliation.By 1977, HELP had organizedmore than 12,000 workers inChicago hospitals. Member unitsare assigned to either 73 or 743, inalternating succession HELP has a full time staff of five professionalorganizers, who draw a total of$100,000 yearly in salary and ex¬penses. The officers of HELP, whoare also officers in parent locals 73and 743, draw no salary, and theorganizers work out of a two roomstorefront office located across thehall from Local 73’s offices, at 1640N. Wells St.According to the 1977 LaborOrganizing Report Form LM-2, onfile with the Labor ManagementService of the Department ofLabor, HELP has accumulated anon-paper debt of more than $2.5million in the 12 years since its for¬mation, money loaned it by its twoparent locals. However, accordingto the LM-2’s filed by 73 and 743 forthe same year, they were owed nomoney by HELP.Clericals at the University haveexpressed concern that if the unionwere voted in, their dues ($9 permonth) will be spent to pay off thedebt owed by HELP.Joel D’Alba, an attorney in thefirm Ascher, Goodstein, Pavalon,Gittler, Greenfield and Seigel,which is retained by Local 73,Local 743, and HELP, said thatneither 73 or 743 expect HELP topay back the money. “They havecontributed these funds to HELP tostart it and keep it going, and their"(yitribution is paid back in duesfrom the new members HELPbrings into the locals,’’ he said.“The money owed by HELP to 73and 743 is not a debt, but an invest¬ment,” said Donald Peters, presi¬dent of both local 743 and HELP.According to D’Alba. and toRobert Simpson, 743’s businessagent for the University’s 900member bargaining unit, the debtis carried on HEXP’s books forrecordkeeping reasons by theorganizations accountants. The ac¬countants were unavailable forcomment.In 1976. the American F'edera-tion of State. County, andMunicipal Employees (AFSCME)AFL-CIO local #1657, which hadrepresented hospital workers since1945, lost their contract with UCHCwhen the Teamsters moved in.AFSCME lost the election to 743,and the national council of theAFL-CIO ruled that union raidinghad not occurred because 743 alonehad organized the hospital, and itis not an AFL-CIO affiliate.If 743 wins this election, they willhave more than 2.600 members onthis campus alone, more than 26percent of the 10,000 Universityemployees, and will double thenumber of employees on campusw ho belong to unions. At a meeting of the Faculty-Student Advisory Committee onCampus Student Life (FSACCSL)Tuesday, Dean of Students CharlesO’Connell announced a $3000 loanfrom his budget to the Committee.This loan will “ease cash flow pro¬blems,” said Committee chairmanJeff Leavell.Student Activities Director RileyDavis projected that by the end ofthe quarter, the Committee willhave funded 40 student groups,compared to 30 groups during theentire 1977-78 academic year.Davis said the increase in thenumber of groups asking for Com¬mittee funds reflects “a generalresurgence in student activities”on campus Eleven of the 34 groupsthat have received Committeeallocations so far this quarter arenew, Leavell said.New student groups include In¬quiry, an undergraduate journalwhose first issue last spring wasfunded by the Humanities Divi¬sion; Doo-Right Films; LatinoCultural Society; and the year¬book.Last year $34,000 was availableto the Committee to distribute tostudent organizatons. This year'savailable funds represent a 12 per¬ cent decrease from last year’s.This decrease has been attributedto inflation by several administra¬tion sources.Two major groups, the Festivalof the Arts (FOTA) and the GayLiberation Front (GLF) have yetto receive any funds from the Com¬mittee, said Leavell. Most groupshave taken cuts of up to 50 percentfrom last year’s allocations,although a few groups have beengiven increased funding.WHPK-FM received about two-thirds of its 1977-78 allocation. Thiswill allow for minimalmaintenance at the campus radiostation, but is not enough to pur¬chase equipment which had beenplanned to improve the quality ofthe broadcast, said StationManager Frank Mazza. Because ofnew Federal Communication Com¬mission rules that may phase out10 watt stations, WHPK may re¬quire major expenditures in thenext few years.Women’s Union will not havefunds for any program on Interna¬tional Women’ Day, said Unionmember Judith Sedaitis. In thepast. Women’s Union has featuredto 3Polls opened yesterday at 6 amand balloting continues today forthe University’s 1,793 eligibleclerical workers, who are decidingwhether they choose to berepresented in a collectivebargaining unit by the Interna¬tional Brotherhood of TeamstersLocal 743.Edward Klaron, field examinerfrom the National Labor RelationsBoard (NLRB) which is supervis¬ing the election, refused to discussthe number of clericals who hadvoted at the polling place set up inthe Burgery and Brain ResearchInstitute, Room J141, after thepolls closed for the day at 6 pmThursday evening. The BrainResearch poll was the only pollopen Thursday, according toKlaron.Eleven polls are open today, andUniversity clericals may vote atany of them. However, clericalsvoting at other than their workunit’s designated poll will vote achallenged ballot, and both theUniversity and union must agreeon the terms under which challeng¬ed ballots can be counted.If the challenged ballots arenumerous enough to affect the out¬come of the election, and theUniversity and union cannot agreeon the validity of the ballots, theNLRB will step in and decide,Klaron said.If a ballot is challenged, thevoter still marks it, and it is placedin a sealed envelope with a tag at¬tached describing the situationunder which it was challenged andPhoto by Nancy ClevelandClerical worker voting startedyesterday and continues until 6 pmtonight. Shoreland: for sale ?By Abbe FletmanShoreland residents worried thatthe building will be auctioned offbecause of the University’s failureto pay property taxes can rest as¬sured that they w ill still be gettingbills from the Bursar.The University owes over $27,000in back taxes, according to figurespublished last week in The HydePark Herald, but Raymond Buschof the office of legal counsel saidMonday the University has paid allthe taxes it owes.The back tax listing in the No¬vember 8 Herald includes 30 lots onwhich the University is claimingexemptions from property taxes.Rather than paying the taxes andwaiting for refunds. Busch said,the University does not pay thesums and waits for the InternalRevenue Service (IRS) to take ac¬tion on exemption requests.According to Busch, it takes theIRS several years to update its listLof properties with exemption status.Educational institutions are ex¬empt from property taxes on pro¬perties used for educational pur¬poses and those employed to housestudents.The University owes $22,158.06on the Shoreland Hotel, accordingto the Herald However, the UniJversity began to receive partialcompensation on real estate taxeswhen student occupancy in thebuilding became significant. Thatexemption began in 1976.University property at 55th St.and Ellis Ave. also became exemptwhen tennis courts were construct¬ed on the land last year. Busch saidhe also has tax bills for 27 proper¬ties in “south campus’’ which theUniversity is not required to paytaxes on.“Once you pay ta:rrts, it takesabout four or five veai» to get a re¬fund.” said Busch. “If we re confi¬dent we ll get the refund, we don’tpay the taxes.”Photo by David SullivanUniversity, union, workers speak their mindBy Nancy Cleveland“Our position conies down to this. Wedon't want another external agent interfer¬ing with the internal affairs of the institu¬tion.” -Edward Coleman, University direc¬tor of personnel.“The present situation is a collective dic¬tatorship. We have no rights at all. With aunion, we would have the right to vote oneverything and to attend all the meetings.The union gives you a chance for change. ” -Debra Simonson, a University clericalworker and union supporter.Yesterday and today, clerical workersaround campus have been casting votes foror against union representation. The issueNews analysisat stake is whether the University will beallowed to continue its private relationshipwith more than 2000 clerical employees, or ifit will be forced to deal with its workersthrough an outside intermediary, the Inter¬national Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT)Local 743. Local 743 already representsabout 900 service and maintenance workersat the University Hospitals and Clinics(UCHC).The Teamsters have never organized in a Private employers are not covered by anylaws forcing them to conform to any setstandard of fairness in their hiring and fir¬ing policies, aside from federal mandatesprohibiting sex and race discrimination, asLucos discovered after visiting severallawyers in an attempt to discover whatrights, if any, he had in the case.In an affidavit Simonson filed with theNLRB October 25 after being threatenedwith dismissal last month she stated: “I wastold by my boss’s boss that the specific in¬stance of my firing was a matter of opinionbetween myself and my supervisor, and inthis type of case, whether the supervisorwas right or wrong, he would be backed up.”Simonson was told a week after the jobthreat she would be suspended for two days.Because Simonson had been involved in aunion-organizing drive, she is protected bythe National Labor Relations Act from be¬ing fired or disciplined if any connection canbe proven between her union activity andthe personnel action.The difference between Lucos' and Simon¬son’s experiences? One was backed by anorganization, the other was isolated.“Lucos can come back and work for theUniversity at any time,” said Stan Peters,assistant director of employee relations, inthe office personnel. It was later determinedby Peters that Lucos should only have beensuspended, not fired and that it had not beenhis intent to steal the poncho.

MCan you see theTeamsters trying to tell a professor ofeconomics how to pay his secretary?” Col¬eman asked.But Judy Johnson, an administrativeassistant in the UCHC and a former unionactivist said this is precisely why Universityclerical workers need a union. “It’s just notfair to pit a black mother of two against aPh D. in economics,” said Johnson. ‘‘Hecould argue circles around her request for araise Under a union contract, both partiesare equally represented, and they have toagree to talk a language already set upon.”Grievance procedureA fair grievance procedure and com¬petitive wage increases are two promisesthe HELP-743 organizers are makingUniversity clerical workers. Now, underUniversity policy, employees notrepresented by a union are expected to firstdiscuss their grievance with their im¬mediate supervisor (in the company of a co¬worker if they choose; If the problem can¬not be settled there, it can be taken to thepersonnel office, and either Glenn Richard¬son. whose office is in the UCHC. or StanleyPeters, who works in personnel’s Inglesideoffice, will hear both sides of the case andmake a decision.But, according to Juan Lucos, a formerUniversity Bookstore employee who wasforced to quit two months ago after being ac¬cused of trying to steal a child’s MickeyMouse rain poncho. “Personnel believestheir own people, and when they want youout, there’s nothing you can do, and nowhereyou can go for help.”2—The Chicago Maroon—Friday, November time that decision had been reached. Lucoshad found another job.At the UCHC, where 743 has beenrepresenting workers for nearly two years,the union has an official four step grievanceprocedure outlined in the contract. A clausedemands arbitration by an outside agent if,after the final step, no mutually satisfactoryagreement is reached between the unionand the University. Whether or not the casewill ever reach the first step, however, isleft to the discretion of the individual Donald Peters 743 President, with UC clericals at HELP open housesteward to whom a complaint is brought.Contrasting casesIn two sharply contrasting cases, one atBlue Cross-Blue Shield where Local 743represents more than 2,000 clericalemployees and one at the UCHC, the unionhas spent thousands of dollars in legal feesfighting for one employee’s re-instatement,while virtually ignoring the claims ofanother.Last May 10, Linda Lamberg. employed inNursing Services at UCHC, asked a fellowworker to fill an order. According to herlater testimony before lawyers from 743,and at the Labor Board, he attacked her.She fled to the fifth floor of the building andtold her supervisor what had happened. Hersupervisor did not believe her story, andsuggested they both go find the man andconfront him. He had followed Lamberg.and when she and her supervisor steppedfrom the office, the man attacked the Super¬visor. Lamberg fled into an elevator. Theman dragged her from the elevator and theyfought. Lamberg was carrying a box-cutter,a tool with a short retractable blade that sheused in her work, and, during the struggle,he wrestled it away from her and slashedher face with it. She later required 62 stit¬ches, and is awaiting plastic surgery.According to some employees who sawthe fight, Lamberg tried to stab her attackerwith the tool. According to others, she neverhad a chance. After the two were separated,both were fired. According to attorney JoelD’Alba, who represented Lamberg in herearly hearings, “the University says thather hands were moving against his; theysay she didn’t try hard enough to avoid thefight; they say that essentially anyone whoengages in self-defense is guilty of inciting afight.”In dispute, according to D’Alba. is the in¬terpretation of the clause in 743’s contractdefinining “just firing” of an employee.

And even then, the unionnever gave me any other support ”The woman, a four year veteran at BlueCross-Blue Shield, was given additionalduties and responsibilities in her position,without an increase in pay or rank. Shespent nine months fighting for a promotioncommensurate with her increasedworkload, and was finally given the position“in spite of myself, I suppose.”“I could have won the case myself, exceptthat I would have had to gone to the NLRBand that would have taken forever. Butsince I got the promotion anyway, I guess itdoesn’t matter. Still, I feel the union reallylet me down.”Other clericals at BC-BS are less thansatisfied with their union. Said another fieldrepresentative, “the union coming in reallystopped merit raises. I used to get one everytime my name came up, but since they’vegot this contract, I haven’t had one.”According to one insider, the union at BlueCross-Blue Shield suffers from apathy andnoninvolvement by its members. “Whenthey first got the contract, everyone was allrah-rah, and representation was goodbecause people took the time to be involved.But interest slackened, and now thestewards are under no pressure to perform,and have no effective support from theirown constituents.”Because there is no policy of naming locaipresidents for discrete bargaining units, in743, the local units have no central core ofleadership. The 12 stewards are spreadthroughout three shifts at 743’s UCHC unit,and often admit that they don’t know all thatis happening in the other parts of thehospital.The American Federation of State, Coun¬ty. Municipal Employees (AFSCME) AFL-CIO local 1657, which represented thehospital service workers from 1945 to 1976when they were ousted by 743 in the lastelection, had a local president for the unit.One reason they were voted out by theemployees, according to a union activist, isthat within the state of Illinois, AFSCMEhad no power base and has no bargainingpower based on a strike threat. “Theycouldn't even get the University to reim¬burse stewards for the time they spend onunion business during their working hours.”she said.To initially receive short term benefitpayments for extended sick leave, AFSCMELocal 1657 bargained away five of their sickdays Other campus unions were given thesame option, according to Coleman. WhenLocal 743 won the right fromAFSCME in 1976 to represent hospital ser¬vice workers, the negotiators traded in-17, 1978SG Finance Committeecreased sick days (+ 5) for the new clausegiving sick leave pay for the first three daysof illness only to employees with more thanthree years service.When HELP literature claims that nobenefits will be lost if clericals vote forunion representation, they mean that pre¬sent benefits may go up on the negotiatingtable, if the elected negotiators believe thatwhat they are bargaining for what the ma¬jority of members want.“A union won’t work for you unless youwork for yourself,” said one hospital foodservices employee. And that issue was aconstant source of complaint amongworkers who had expected more represen¬tation from 743 than they had received fromAFSCME.‘‘I’ve never seen a copy of that contract,”said one angry employee. ‘‘And I’ve beenworking here seven years.” According toseveral workers in food services, which isbeing reorganized, the union stipulation thatworkers with seniority be given the right to‘‘bump” less senior workers out more plea¬sant job assignments and more convenientshift hours, is being ignored in thereassignments. But other stipulations, re¬quiring the firing of part time workersbefore full-timers, and the consolidation ofpart-time positions into full time ones for thedisplaced workers with seniority, are beingfollowed.Another, serious complaint voiced by ageneral services worker: ‘‘The union didn’tshow us the contract. We voted for a sheet ofpaper that only said what they’d given us,not what they’d taken away.”But in response, a pro-union activist ask¬ed: ‘‘Where were all these people with com¬plaints when the contract was beingnegotiated? Where were they whenstewards were being elected? If they don’tlike the situation, why aren’t they workingto change it?”Is the local bargaining unit indeed“everybody’s union,” as those active in itclaim, or is it controlled by a clique of ‘‘in¬siders” unresponsive to the needs of manyfellow workers who are less enthusiasticand less involved in union activities?In all organizations, rewards go to thosewho work at getting them. As Simonson said‘‘It may be a lot of work, but at least with aunion, we’ve got a chance.” A chance not of¬fered in traditional labor-management rela-Robert Simpsonbusiness agent, UCHC 743tions for the employees to decide forthemselves the terms of their working rela¬tionship with their employer.Wages“Our interest in joining the union is to getmore money. If we can’t get more money,what is our point in joining,” a middle agedclerical asked Don Peters at last week’sHELP open house at the Center for Continu¬ing Education.HELP organizers have pointed to thehigher wages being paid Michael Reeseclericals under their HELP negotiated con¬tract, as evidence that University workersin a union, too, will earn more. According tothe University wage scales in effect for all bi-weekly payroll, non-union workers,wages went up 6 percent across the boardlast July 24. At Michael Reese wages rose 25cents across for all employees November 11.The entry level salaries offered 10 clericalsare higher than those offered Universityclericals in positions defined equivalent by aprofessional job analyst hired by theUniversity personnel office to compare jobsand salaries between the two institutions.A cost of living escalator clause is part ofthe Michael Reese contract. It provides fora maximum of five cents an hour increaseover the two years the contract is in effect,based on a rise in inflation above six percenta year. No cost of living escalators haveever been part of a University contract, ac¬cording to an October 11 letter sent by thepersonnel office to the homes of all Universi-Edward ColemanUniversity Personnel Directorty clericals eligible to vote in the upcomingelection. Also according to that letter,‘‘many University clericals saw bigger in¬creases (than six percent) through themerit review.”In fact, although the entry level salaries- have been increased “to make us more com¬petitive,” according to Coleman, the higherstep clerical workers at the University havelittle to show for the years they put in here.According to a Maroon analysis in Tues¬day’s paper, it takes grade seven clericalsan average of 17.9 years to reach the max¬imum salary step for their grade. Gradeseven includes secretaries without shor¬thand, the largest category of Universityclerical workers. Only eight percent of thosein grade seven reached the maximumsalary grade, according to figures drawnfrom the September 17, 1978 bi-weeklyclerical payroll provided by the personneloffice.The difference between the maximum andminimum steps at grade seven in $1.77 perhour, from $4.12 an hour for starting salaryto $5.89. At Michael Reese, all clericalworkers are guaranteed the top rate aftertheir third year of employment. The dif¬ference there is 27 cents, from $4.96 (hirewage) to$5.23.According to Coleman, the union strivesfor high minimum wages. Coleman con¬trasted the University system of discre¬tionary merit reviews for employees withconsistantly outstanding service to MichaelReese’s system of raise guarantees. “Wefeel an employee’s value increases withyears of service here.’’ he said.Entry levels at the University have beenraised, but upper level employee salarieshave not kept pace. According to one disen¬chanted UCHC clerical worker. “If I quitmy job and got rehired at the current star¬ting rates, in a year I’d be making a dollaran hour more than if I keep on like this."This was borne out by figures publishedby a 1977 American Management Associa¬tion survey comparing the average wagespaid University of Chicago clericals at allgrade levels to clerical wages in privateChicago business, in other Chicagohospitals, and at other Chicago universitiesand colleges. Throughout the comparison,the University ranked only slightly lower or from 1speakers, entertainment, seminars, andworkshops in a day-long program in the spr¬ing.The Organization of Black Studentsreceived about half its 1977-78 allocation.OBS President David Shipley said this willseverly restrict the group’s plans for BlackHistory Week, and will eliminate publica¬tion of The Black Light, the group’s newslet¬ter.Assistant Dean of Sudents Paul Ausicksaid this year is an “unusual situation” forthe Committee, and that they will continueto face difficulties until the Library canteenstarts producing revenue. O’Connellpredicts the canteen will open by first weekof winter quarter, but SG president StephenKohoe said he believes the canteen will befinished by 10th week of autumn quarter.“I find it hard to justify a major increase’ ’in the Committee’s budget, Ausick said.Ausick said some pressure was taken off theCommittee by the creation of the Major Ac¬tivities Board <MAB> three years ago. MABsponsors large concerts and parties on cam¬pus.Ausick also said the financial in¬dependence of The Maroon, which requiredequal to the averages in the lowest grades,but at grades 8-11, the University dippedbetween 10 and 23 percent below the startingwages offered elsewhere.During affirmative action testimonybefore Department of Health, Educationand Welfare officials last year, Universityadministrators said that one reason thatthere were fewer blacks and other minorityworkers on the lower wage levels of theUniversity payroll than the racialdemographics of the neighborhood war¬ranted, was because the starting wages atthe University were so low they had troubleattracting minority workers who could findmore lucrative work elsewhere. The wageswere kept low by the willing pool of studentsand spouses eager for on-campus jobs, theytestified.An administrative assistant in the UCHC,who handles grant application forms saidthat often, government agencies send backnotes saying that there was more moneyallowed under their grant formula forclerical salaries. “They wondered why thesalary rates we showed were so low,” saidthe UCHC worker.Tribune investigationIn 1976, The Chicago Tribune ran a long in¬vestigative series on the Teamster pensionfund. The articles detailed shaky loansmade by trustees of the fund to friends andbusiness partners, loans that were beingconcurrently investigated by the Depart¬ment of Justice. One of the 16 trustees of thefund was Donald Peters, and in an early ar¬ticle in the series. The Tribune detailed hisassociation with the company building Mc¬Cormick Inn (he was on the board of direc¬tors) which received virtually all of the $30 Committee money until about six years ago,and the funding by the Athletic Departmentof sports clubs, have taken the stress off theCommittee.Kohoe, however, maintains that organiza¬tions that sponsored concerts before MABwas formed took out small loans, and thatthe sports clubs have been replaced by newactivities. SG is working on a proposal to in¬crease the Committee’s financial basewhich Kehoe said they expect to submit toO’Connell in a week.Leavell said he hopes the additional fundswill be available this year.In the late 1960’s, the University beganfunding “student programs” in the housingsystem, music department programs andactivities sponsored by other departmentsand activities planned by the Student Ac¬tivities Office.A memo from O’Connell’s office releasedin 1975 attributes this policy to “certain dif¬ficulties” with student groups, includingfirst and final week rushes during whichthey do not plan activities and “the ups anddowns of enthusiasm and effectiveness” ofstudent groups. Before the late 1960’s, saidO’Connell, students “entertainedthemselves.”million + capital needed through a series ofloans from the fund. Peters had received$48,000 from the fund that year, as well, asscouting investment opportunities.In October of that year, Peters, along with12 other trustees, resigned from the board,“in an effort to head off any governmenttakeover of the fund,” according to JamesStrong’s Oct. 27 article.Peters has not been officially involvedwith the fund since then, although once hequit as trustee, he organized the Pensionfunds clerical workers under 743.The $4.3 billion Central States, Southeastand Southwest Areas Pension Fund, largestprivate fund in the nation, has been accusedrepeatedly of being a reservoir of funds fororganized crime, according to Strong’s arti¬cle. But although the 450,000 active andretired Teamsters who are supporters of thefund may have cause for concern about itsmanagement, none of the hospital workersorganized by HELP have left their regularpension plans, and the University’s clericalswould remain with the University’s retire¬ment plan.However, the University's record inhandling its own employees pension funds isnot spotless, either. In 1972, the employeesat Argonne National Laboratories sued theUniversity, charging that in a kick-backagreement with the Prudential Life In¬surance Co., carrier of the pension plan, theUniversity had skimmed more than $5.7million over a 20 year period from funds thatrightfully belonged to the employees. Thecase lost an appeal, but the man in charge ofhandling the fund resigned, and the Univer¬sity changed the procedures they used tototal the employees funds, by counting thedividend paid by the company as part ofemployees contributions.3) Paid vacation per year1 UC AFSCME-UC 743-UC HELP-MR18 years3 wks peryear 1-10 years3 weeks 18 years3 weeks 1-7 years3 weeks9-20 years4 wks peryear 11 20 years4 weeks 9-20 years4 weeks 8 20 years4 weeks21 -f years5 wks peryear 21 -f years5 weeks 214- years5 weeks 21+ years5 weeks1 J1.5 times. ratemay bebanked 1.5 times 1.5 times no bankPridav, November 17, 1978—3The Chicago Maroon-Priaay,EditorialKeep child centerTwo weeks ago, when the Chicago Board ofHealth ordered the Woodlawn Child HeathCenter (WCHC) to close, over 100 parents andchildren turned out at a press conference hastilyarranged by the WCHC community board to an¬nounce the Board’s decision and to make it clearthat the Center would not close without a fight.The outpouring of support at that meetingdemonstrated the vital role the Center plays inthe lives of many of Woodlawn’s 55,000 residents.The Center provides outpatient health and socialservices to approximately 10,000 Woodlawnchildren under age 19.No one wants the Center to close, not evenBoard commissioner Dr. Murray Brown, eventhough he says it is necessary because of cutsmade by Governor Thompson in the Board’sbudget. We believe that the only “must” in thiscase is that the Center must stay open.The Board’s budget was cut by $750,000. It didnot have to make up that cut by eliminating theCenter’s $721,000 budget. Whether that was apolitical decision, as some have charged, or onebased on a critical evaluation of health caredelivery in the city, as Brown argues, does notmatter. The Board now knows that the residentsof Woodlawn need the WCHC and will not sit stillif it is forced to close.Brown has promised to keep the Center open ifthe Board receives additional funds from thestate. As a sign of their willingness to work withthe Board, rather than against them, the WCHCcommunity board has decided against massdemonstrations, for the time being. But MayorBilandic is up for re-election next year and themessage the voters give him then should reflectthe message they are getting from the city now.Want results?The Student Government (SG) Finance Com¬mittee expects to present a proposal to Dean ofStudents Charles O’Connell next week asking foran increase of up to $5,000 in the Committee’s$30,000 annual budget. These additional fundsare vital if the Committee’s budget is to ap¬proach the amount needed by recognized studentorganizations.We hope, however, that any such increase willnot be viewed as a major boon to campus studentlife. The SG canteen in Regenstein Libraryultimately will be a greater shot in the arm to theFinance Committee than any additional con¬tributions by the administration.The administration should concentrate on ma¬jor projects such as the remaining renovationson the Crown Field House, the new Court Theatrebuilding, the proposed natatorium, and the addi¬tions and renovations on Ida Noyes Hall that noware merely two dimensional drawings in the Of¬fice of Physical Planning and Construction.These projects are costly, but if PresidentGray was serious when she voiced concern aboutstudent life, she must commit the University tosuch long-term expenditures if she expects to getresults.Editor: Abbe FletmanNews editor: Eric Von der PortenFeatures editor: Claudia MagatPhotography editor: Carol StudenmundSports editor: R.

Letters to the EditorSick paycomplaintsTo the Editor:In his letter in Friday’s Maroon,Personnel Director Edward Cole¬man t^kes the union at MichaelReese to task for trading away ashort-term sick pay in order to geta longer-term disability pay. Mr.Coleman does not tell us whether theReese employees wanted the trade¬off, or whether they wantedsomething else more urgently thanthe short-term sick pay. I personallydon’t like this kind of trade, but it’sno argument against that contractunless we know why it was done.And it’s certainly no argumentagainst voting in the union at UC,because for the contract here, UCemployees will set their ownpriorities for sick pay andeverything else.UC employees might want to seesome change in sick benefits. Thereis no help now for you if you’ve usedup your 10 sick days for the year,unless you are disabled more thansix months — UC pays some disabili¬ty after six months out. And whatabout paid maternity leave? Two ofthe most industrious and valuableemployees I know — the sort of peo¬ple the University claims to rewardso highly — were refused leave ofabsence without salary when theyhad babies, and had to reenter theirjobs with no accrued seniority. Orhow’ about an option to convert long-unused sick days to regular vacationtime, as it done in some businesses?There must be an awful lot of thingslike this that employees may wantchanged, but no one or two peoplecan bring it about. The union, once itknows people’s priorities, canbargain on behalf of everyone. Drawing by Chris PersansA union whosetime has comeTo the Editor:It’s time for a union. It’s been timefor one for several years.When I worked for the UC (1967-72) I watched the start of staff cut¬backs meaning fewer people have todo more work — but without morepay, of course. It happened to me; Itook on a lot of bookkeeping in 1969when my department’s staff was cutby one. I went through a months-long job reclassification in that firstoffice, too. At the end, the salary in¬crease was adequate but I was told Iwould not be reviewed for anotherraise for 15 months.When I was hired in a differentdepartment after a break, my threeprevious years’ experience at theUniversity was good for just sixcents over the minimum pay rate formy new job. In that department Isaw a firing “at the caprice of theirsupervisors” as the Marooneditorial put it, November 10.Need I go on? Everyone whoWith a uniqp we can not-only-getr^ works here for more than a year orbetter pay and benefits with our firstcontract, but better contracts eachtime we bargain. We can get securi¬ty. We can win. Vote yes.Karl HabermasPayroll Clerk‘The only defense’To the Editor:We both work as clericals in HydePark and have been following theunion struggle at the University formany months. We know when facedwith dealing with as large and as in¬efficient an institution as the Univer¬sity, a union is the only defenseagainst unfair labor practices.Wage scales, benefits, and workconditions should not be left up to thearbitrary discretion of the Universi¬ty of Chicago administration.Clericals have the right, guaranteedby the Constitution of the UnitedStates, to form a unified bargainingunit with their employer.Although we do not have thechance to vote in this election, weurge University of Chicago clericalsto vote yes in the upcoming electionand to work to build a powerful anddemocratic union.Anne GoodwinJulie TrowbridgeTwo pointsTo the Editor:There are only two bits of com¬pletely factual information in thealleged “concerned clericals com¬mittee’’ anti-union letter in last Fri¬day’s Maroon. (1) There are 1,920eligible voters and (2) the vote willbe by secret ballot.A Yes Union Voter two has some such stories. These arethe things that will stop with a unioncontract, and with active staff par¬ticipation in union bargaining.I supported and at times workedfor the two most recent union drivesbefore the current one (DWA, 1971-72, District 65 1973-76). I urge everystaff member to vote pro-union thisweek.Unlike the anonymous membersof the “concerned clericals commit¬tee’’ I am going to sign this. I don'tbelieve in hiding. I don’t believe intheir dark hints, either, about“union reprisals” — I think theywant to make people think of a thugwith a blackjack. W’hich of yourfellow’ employees is likely to turn in¬to a thug with a blackjack? That isjust the “committee’s” psycho¬logical blackjack against the union.After all, the union on campus is you— the staff members.You have nothing to lose and somuch to gain. Do yourself a favorand vote yes.Sara HeslepSeriesdisappointmentsTo the Editor:In response to last Friday’s col¬umn on student housing, some com¬ments —If an apartment is vacated and astudent moves in, he or she is notdisplacing the previous resident. If adeveloper sends a conversion noticein the middle of a lease term he isdisplacing his renters.Your series on student housing aswell as many of your past articles onthe subject have often sounded likeapologia for the local realtors. Where is your critical eye? Can’tyou see that they are using theMaroon to sell their point of viewand convince students that they aregenuinely concerned about the tighthousing market, when they are not?Why not take a poll to determine howmany students have been forced tomove because of condo conversions(some of whom have been forced tomove more than once). Why notprint an article on the dollars andcents of the issue. I can tell you thatby being forced to move only threemonths after settling into my apart¬ment on 54th and Kimbark has setme back $500.00 for the year and hasput me in dire financial straits. Ican’t imagine Paul Berger orWinston Kennedy losing much sleepover the problems they’ve causedme.Another point, yes, as you stated,there are apartments to be found inHyde Park but they are increasinglyfarther away from campus and inareas where security phones areoften lacking. In northwest HydePark, w’here I now’ reside there areno security phones north of 54thPlace except for those leadingtowards the former dorm on In-gleside. There are no phones onDrexel at all. If we are going to beforced into the nether regions of theneighborhood it behooves theUniversity to extend its security ser¬vices to us.Susan TurkMoney: tabooTo the Editor:In a way I was pleased to seeuniversity spokespeople talkingdollars and cents about universityemployment, in their effort to stopthe union. Because usually money istreated as a taboo subject. Often,you can't get a quote of a wage offerfrom a faculty member when youapply for a job, whether you are “offthe street” or trying to transfer. Itseems you are expected to accept orreject the job without knowing ex¬actly what you will be paid. It is an“Administrative Secret.” Then,when you are working and have amerit review’, what do you do if theygive you 4%? Who can you complainto? How do you contest prejudicedevaluations of your work? And whyare you told not to discuss w’hat youmake with other staff?Money is taboo only because theadministrators want to preventsenior employees from finding outthat brand new, young employeeswith no experience are getting hiredin at almost the same pay the peoplewith long university service get.They want to keep women from com¬paring their pay to men. and blackstaff from comparing with white.They don’t want staff of poorly-funded departments comparing payand job classifications with friendsin affluent (big grant-getting)departments. They don’t want anyinconsistencies to surface. Theywant to call all the shots, and guess-w ho stands to lose?Vote yes for the union and get allthe money questions out in the openon the bargaining table.Carole Fay HallThe Maroon is the student newspa¬per of the University of Chicago.

BloomChicago’s Fifth Ward, which includes The University ofChicago, has long been regarded as the focal point oflocal independent politics. The “Fifth Ward Tradition” inthe City Council — as it has come to be known — is thetradition of former aldermen Paul Douglas, Robert Mer-riam and Leon Despros. It connotes legislative initiative,a inHonpnHpnt rpnresentation and vigilance againstpolitical chicanery.a jili Inc approach of the February 27 election, localresidents are beginning to assess the quality of their cur¬rent representation on the Chicago City Council, and toevaluate the performance of the incumbent alderman incarrying on this tradition. I believe that a consensus isemerging in the community that our current aldermanhas failed to demonstrate, in his four years in office, theinitiative and leadership Fifth Ward voters have alwaysdemanded and expected from their City Council represen¬tative.The alderman’s obvious sphere of operation is the CityCouncil itself. I believe, however, that the alderman has aparallel sphere of responsibility for initiative and leader¬ship, and that sphere is the community itself.The current condominium furor offers an excellent il¬lustration of the process I am describing. The rapid con¬version of rental units to condominiums is having aserious effect on the character of Hyde Park. Our ward’selected steward should have been among the first torecognize the current and potential problems of massiveconversions, and should have taken the initiative in help¬ing to develop a reasonable plan for serving the area’soverall housing needs. Without that initiative, economicforces alone have dictated the results, and we are now fac¬ed with a deeply divided and distrustful community.Hopefully, there is still time for constructive work inthis area. I am convening a local Task Force on HousingAlternatives which will include people with the interest,expertise and influence needed to serve as a force forpositive discussion and community action. The Task Force will include lenders, developers, representatives ofcommunity organizations and tenants.On the legislative side of the issue, I have proposed thatthe City’s bonding power be used to raise sufficient fundsfor the establishment of a low interest loan programavailable to people (including tenant groups) who wish topurchase or improve buildings which will be maintainedas rental properties, I also favor amendments to theChicago Condominium Ordinance requiring warranties tobe given by condominium developers and giving residentsthe right of first refusal to purchase their building if con¬version to condominium is contemplated. I intend to allowthe alderman’s office to be used as a clearinghouse forsources of technical support to tenants wishing to taketheir housing destiny in their own hands.Notwithstanding my very serious concern for the socialand economic effects of rampant condominium conver¬sion, I do believe that condominium conversion can be apositive force in the Fifth Ward and city-wide. In areaslike South Shore, condominiums are a stablizing influencewhich redirects capital investment back into a neglectedcommunity. The key is for well-intentioned parties towork and plan together. The alderman can play a conven¬ing and facilitating role in this process.The condominium controversy is largely contered inHyde Park. But the Fifth Ward encompasses more thanHyde Park. It extends into South Shore up to 71st Streetfrom Stony Island Avenue to Lake Michigan. Jobs andeconomic development are key issues outside Hyde Parkand one of my first initiatives, if elected, will be to exertthe pressure necessary to increase the allocation ofFederal Revenue Sharing Funds to economic develop¬ment projects in South Shore.In Woodlawn, residents are currently concerned withthe threatened closing of the Woodlawn Child HealthCenter. That institution stands for a commitment to achild’s total welfare, and it has had the courage to main¬tain its independence from political strangulation by theChicago Board of Health. The Fifth Ward should befighting to maintain the Center, but their involvement todate has been minimal. Chicago is one of the few areas in the country with ahealth services agency which is dominated by a politicalbody — and a monolithic body to boot. This agency setsour health program priorities, and administers themillions of federal health services dollars that come toChicago. Any alderman who wears the “independent”mantle should have spoken out loud and clear against theselection of the Chicago City Council as the sponsor of ourlocal HSA and should have protested the pathetic plan pro¬mulgated by this agency which merely endorsed the ex¬isting rigid and mundane programs of the Chicago Boardof Health.As a private citizen, I filed my strong objections to theHSA proposals in writing when hearings were held severalmonths ago. Subsequently, the incompetence and politicalinfiltration of the Chicago HSA has become a matter forinvestigation by HEW.The February 27 election will be Chicago voters’ firstopportunity to elect a full City Council in the post-Daleyera. Independents around the city can be expected to testthe waters with renewed vigor. I welcome the challenge ofbeing among them and urge you to become involved in theelection of your next alderman.Lawrence S. Bloom has been a resident of the FifthWard for 17 years and is a graduate of the College and theLaw School.

Mann.Maroon subscribtions-a bargainat $9 a year.Lathrop seeks condo haltBy Margot SlausonLegislation that would place a partialmoratorium on condominium conversionswas introduced to the city council Tuesdayby 5th Ward Alderman Ross Lathrop. Timeis needed, he said, to provide adequatelegislative protection to tenants.Some Hyde Park residents have been call¬ing for such a moratorium since mid¬summer. They argue that large numbers ofcondominium conversions are threateningthe stability and diversity of the area by for¬cing out low-and middle -income residents.Lathrop said the major problem is the“hot” condominium market that is forcingtenants to make hasty “buy-move” deci¬sions. There is an urgent need, he said, toslow down this market to allow time to studythe situation and to strengthen tenants’rights.He pointed out that he is not in favor oftotal moratorium. Buildings where 40 per¬cent of those leasing are in favor of conver¬sion would be allowed to do so under hislegislation.There is currently no rental housingmarket in Hyde Park, according to Lathrop,because of the shortage of housing and a lowturnover rate. Lathrop said his legislationwould temporarily halt the need for tenantsto decide to buy or leave the area.This situation, he said, his worseneddras:ically in the last three yea s.The moratorium would also alt artificialprice speculation on rental properties,Lathrop said. In Hyde Park, as well a. inother neighborhoods in the city, the saleprice of rental property is being set by theprofits to be gamed from conversion ratherthan by their value as long term in¬vestments, he said.Lathrop also proposed that condominiumdevelopers pay displaced tenants a compen¬sation of two months rent for relocation ex¬penses. He said individuals being forced tomove are confronted with $1,000 to Sl.aOOmoving costs that most are unable to ab¬sorb.Lathrop believes that the condominiumconversions of the last 20 years have been Photo by Carol Studenmundvital in the restoration of many of the olderstructures in Hyde Park. Conversion maybe the only way to save many rundownapartments, he said.But Lathrop disputed statements made byPaul Berger president of Hyde ParkFedv al Savings and Loan, that this propos¬ed legislation is not in the interests of the ci¬ty or of Hyde Park. People are getting hurtin the booming condominium market, hebelieves, and it is his intention to slow downthe conversion of rentals to condominiumsto allow the city time to provide adequatelegislative protection for tenants.

The NewYorker presents New York City’s cultural credentialsas something nearly divinely inspired, while theChicagoan generally acknowledges New York City’ssuperiority, makes excuses for Chicago’s inade¬quacies, and ends with a line like, “Well, at least thiscity is well-run.’’ But there is one area in which theSecond City is first: the Chicago Symphony Or¬chestra.The Chicago Symphony has been astonishing a lotof people for a long time; even Donal Henaha of theNew York Times mused that “the sheer fervor,somewhat resembling religious fanaticism thatcharacterizes the New York ovation for Chicago-Soltiis a phenomenon worth some sociologists’s study.’’Even before Solti came to the Chicago Symphony,composer Igor Stravinsky described the Symphonyunder conductor Fritz Reiner as the most precise andflexible symphony in the world. Now although theraare those who feel that nine years of Sir George Solti,however great, is to much for any symphony, the or¬chestra still plays before packed houses and con¬tinues to have a varied, innovative seasonal program.The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the third oldest in the United States, was organized in 1891 byTheodore Thomas, a man described in music historybooks as a “pioneer” of symphonic music inAmerica. Known as a strong-willed, strong-mindedman, Thomas was conductor of the New YorkPhilharmonic in the late 1800’s before taking over theChicago Symphony. Thomas was reluctant to takeover the Philharmonic, which was suffering seriousfinancial difficulties when yearly receipts droppedfrom a high of $15,480 to $841.Under his control the touring orchestra of thePhilharmonic played as many as six concerts in sixdifferent cities in a single week. It was the type ofbreathless, non-stop activity that Thomas lived for,and only a few years before he took over the ChicagoSymphony he was constantly heard to say “I wouldgo to hell if they gave me a permanent orchestra ”In 1899, as head of the Chicago Symphony, Thomasturned down an invitation to take the Chicago Sym¬phony on tour to France because he was furious at theFrench government for their actions during theDreyfus affair and refused to have any dealings withthem.Thomas died early in 1905 and was succeeded byhis associate conductor, Frederic Stock, who broughtthe orchestra a growing sense of world-wide acclaimas well as a reputation for consistency. Stock died in1942 after having been conductor for thirty-eightyears, the longest period that any director has servedat the Symphony.The next ten years brought the orchestra threemusic directors — Desire Defauw. Artur Rodrirnsloand Raphael Kubelik — in addition to two fullseasons in which there were only guest conductors.These ten years were stormy ones, for both the con¬ductors and the orchestra.Some of the conductors felt incrasingly hounded bycritical “outsiders”, particularly by critic ClaudiaCassidy of the Chicago Tribune. Cassidy, frequentlyconsidered the most influential critic in the history ofChicago, made continual, rather harsh swipes atRafael Kubelic. There were also squabbles amongvarious members of the orchestra.It was riot until Fritz Reiner's arrival as musicaldirector in 1953 that a productive new era was startedunder Reiner's Hungarian School of Music, whichproduced^ such conductors as Eugene Ormandy.Anatal foorati. George Szell, and George Solti.The Hungarian School was German-dominated,and according to critic William Barry Furlong its in¬fluence gave the Symphony a richer, more substan¬tial tone. “Reiner kept the warm. Magyar blood wellunder control, wrote Furlong, “perhaps even moreso than Solti. His music had bigness and dignity; hismelodic material was sculpted with confidence,elegance and style. But he did not lead into melody ascontinued on page 104Wide Range’Oregon at Mandel. A band called Oregon will appear Saturday,November 18 at Mandel Hall. The concert, which issponsored by the Major Activities Board (MAB), willbegin at 8:30.Rolling Stone magazine described Oregon as a bandwith a wide range of musical referents. “The band isequally at home with baroque counterpoint, Indianraga, harmonically advanced improvising, rockrhythms, and contemporary classicism. Such eclec¬ticism is nothing new, but the skill and intelligencethe Oregon musicians display sets them apart fromthe run of 'bold new fusions' and other musicalshotgun weddings."Oregon was formed in 1970 when all four bandmembers were with the Paul Winter Consort. Since1973 Oregon has released eight albums, the latest ofwhich is Out of the Woods.Ralph Towner, a well-known composer, writessongs for Oregon and also performs on classicalguitar, 12-string guitar, piano, French horn andflugelhorn. Paul McCandless plays bass clarinet,oboe and English horn. Percussion, sitar, tabla andclarinet are the specialties of Collin Walcott, andGlen Moore performs on acoustic bass and flute.“We could perform two sets a night for five nightsand never repeat anything. It keeps things fresh forall of us to have such a large repertoire. Each set iscalled by a different band member, which not onlyis democratic, but it makes things really interesting,”McCandless said. Oregon sets only one requirementfor itself: every set must feature all their main in¬struments which include piano, 12-string guitar, bassguitar, tabla, sitar, and oboe.Tickets for Oregon are $2.50 and $3.50 for MABmembers, $5.60 and $6.50 for non-MAB members, andare available at the Reynolds Club box office.The Chicago Film Fest...not just hypeby Richard KayeThe fourteenth Chicago International FilmFestival is here, and its arrival marks one of thosenot infrequent occasions when University studentsdiscover that they live in Chicago without really liv¬ing in Chicago. I’ve met very few students who haveseen any of the Festival Films, and it's mainlybecause the cost of seeing these movies is high,especially when added to the expense of commutingto the North side theatres where these movies areplaying. Then there’s always the excuse of a friend ofmine: “Half of these films are made in Yugoslavia,and the rest have too much rain in them.”.,,To read the Film Festival’s descriptions of its ownmovies is to learn a lesson not so much in hype as inbarefaced lying. The Spanish film “To an UnknownGod” is described in the Film Festival magazine(which is complete with congratulatory letters fromJimmy Carter and Mayor Bilandic) as “a tasty treatfor everyone who believes in magic.” This is ratherlike describing “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” as“a joyous, romantic romp for the entire family.”My guess is that the Film Festival peoplediscovered they had a relatively bleak movie on theirhands (one of the movies Pauline Kael pegged as “thecome-dressed-as-the-sick-soul-of-Europe films”) andfigured they had to make the damn thing salable,especially since the Festival received some sixty-five^ -TheGrey CityJournalEditor: Nancy CrillyAssociate Editor: Melinda CoreyLiterary Editor: Peter EngStaff: George Bailey, Curtis Black, Lee Chait, HarryDoakes, Steven Feldman, Mark Halperin, BarneyHoffstaeder, Richard Kaye, Matthew McNeelege,Dan Newman, Neurine Wiggin. thousand dollars from the city of Chicago and israther obliged to appeal to a wider audience than theavant-garde crew that usually shows up at filmfestivals.“To an Unknown God” begins in the shimmering,summery garden of a Spanish estate. The camerafocuses in on the striking faces of a girl and a boy asthey rock lazily back and forth on a swing. She humsand whispers into his ear. The image is beautiful andstrangely intimate. Lovers? Brother and sister?Brother and sister they are, but whether they arebrother and sister in the wonderfully incestuoustradition of the boy and girl in Cocteau’s LesEnfant-Terribles we never know for sure. But whilethe adults play cards under the trees, sister eyes herbrother while he eyes a younger boy named Jose.Jose is soon seduced by brother Pedro, and withthis seduction, the movie moves to the present, whereJose is now middle-aged, a homosexual who works asa magician in a Madrid nightclub. The moviebecomes nearly all dark interiors as Jose moves inand out of a series of elusive encounters with hissister, a socialist politician, a friendly widow nextdoor, and the sister of the long-dead Pedro.There is a heavy, oppressive air hanging over all ofthis, and unless one can understand Jose’s peculiartype of angst (every night he solemnly listens togloomy recordings of his unknown god, the poet Gar¬cia Lorca, murdered the night Jose was seduced byPedro) the film simply becomes a rather chilly studyin some type of spiritual anemia.In several ways the movie resembles John Schles-inger’s film, “Sunday, Bloody Sunday”, in whichPeter Finch plays a middleaged homosexual in lovewith a young bisexual artist. The refined sensibilityin these two films is pretty much the same, both areabout people “surviving” despite lives marked byloneliness and suffering.But whereas ther£ was a certain amount of emo¬tional excitement in “Sunday, Bloody Sunday”,every relationship in “To an Unknown God” seemsdrained of passion, of life, just as the movie itselfseems drained of any life. When Jose appears tobreak off with his lover at the end of “To an UnknownGod”, there’s no sense of loss or sadness. One feels nothing.There are still a few good aspects of “To anUnknown God”. One of them is Hector Alterio’ssmooth performance. His meeting with a widow whoasks that they get married elevates the movie abotfeits own unrelenting dreariness; one can almost feelthe actors wishing they were in another movie.“To an Unknown God” has just won the ChicagoInternational Film Festival’s Grand Prize for BestFilm, and one can only hope that this is not a com¬mentary on the quality of movies at this year’sFestival. This film is one of many that have beencoming out of Spain since the death of Franco, and soone can view it as part of the Spanish cinema’s strug¬gle to give itself definition. Already Spain has givenus two highly admirable films in the last few years —“Cria” and “The Spirit of the Beehive”, — so “To anUnknown God” is less typical of the Spanish cinemathan of similar movies which find themselves obsess¬ed with their own convoluted fatalism.Special Consensusappearing SundayChicago bluegrass fans are surely familiar withthe Special Concensus Bluegrass Band that will ap¬pear at the Blue Gargoyle’s Sanctuary next Sundayat 8 and 9:30 p.m.The four band members play traditional bluegrassstandards and a number of selections from othermusical genres.

Frank Dobie byLon Tinkle(Boston: Little, Brown and Company 1978, $10)Who was J. Frank Dobie? Up to his death in 1964,his name conjured up images of many men: cowboy,college professor, folklorist, writer, and above all,Texan. Common to these identities was Dobie’s driveto pursue them all.Dobie grew up in the South Texas brush country ofthe 1890’s, the son of a rancher. By Texan standards,the ranch was neither big ncr particularly pro¬sperous; but the young man was free to roam throughit all. He roamed it vigorously, learning to handle cat¬tle and perform ranch chores, and, flexing both hismuscles and his mind, Dobie came to relish an activeand poetic version of Nature.His mother urged the use of his mind, and it waslargely through her efforts that Dobie went to highschool and later, Southwestern University. Theyoungster did not need to move off the ranch; hisfather had already given him all the training he need¬ed to be a successful rancher. But Dobie was in¬quisitive, romantic, and enterprising. He left theranch seeking new things, though without ever givingup the old.Without new things, Dobie would not have beenDobie. His first great find at college was EnglishRomantic poetry, which he read and recited aloud onlong solitary walks. Next he took up newspaperwriting, leading a campus crusade against frater¬nities. Initially an outsider, Dobie became quite anactive campus personality. And perhaps mostcrucially, he fell in love.Bertha McKee was a beauty, a scholar, and a poeticsoul. On Dobie, a self-described prig, she hit hard,and six years of his life went into courting her. Dur¬ing that time Dobie also graduated fromSouthwestern (where Bertha was valedictorian of their class); worked on various newspapers in Texas;taught school (as did Bertha); got his master’s degreeat Columbia; ranched; and tried to put money aside.Dobie enthusiastically jumped from one project toanother, and savored each with gusto, but he kepttrue to Bertha throughout their long and recurrentseparation from each other. While Dobie embarkedon his great life adventures, including foreign servicein World War I; study in France; teaching at Cam¬bridge University; and extensive field research infolklore and Texan cultural traditions, his wife re¬mained at home, recurrently ill, but nonetheless busi¬ly involved in writing and studying of her own.Dobie’s need to keep moving was a part of hisobstinate independence, an independence thatprevented him from becoming simply a college pro¬fessor. He roved among colleges, too, always restlessfor a different or better post, though he did wind upspending most of his teaching career at the Universi¬ty of Texas at Austin.There and elsewhere Dobie became well-known forhis outspoken and unorthodox behavior. His refusalto pursue a doctorate and his greater interest in col¬lecting cowboy lore earned him hostility from theAustin English department. He was frustrated by allthis and channeled his frustration into compilingmore lore. Dobie was slowly beginning to sense theepic nature of the history of his state.This sense of the epic led him to conceive a uniquecourse offering: “Life and Literature of theSouthwest.” Student response at Austin was ex¬tremely enthusiastic, whatever the initial doubts ofDobie’s department head. Reminisced one student:He’d say: “Today we’ll talk about the mesquitetree.” And we’d hear how you could stuff your hatwith the leaves to keep cool, or chew them for aheadache. Or rawhide: and we’d hear wondroustales about its stretch-ability or its hardness whendry, or how Indians used it to bind and rack a' spreadeagled victim...Or we’d hear about bowieknives. Or prickly pear. Or herding songs. Or javelinas. It wasn’t just folklore either. It was...acultivation of our sense of vitality...Dobie was equally active outside of the classroom.In a 45-year period he published some 25 books,which for the most part recorded and celebratedSouthwest culture. Into the books went an ex¬hausting, but exhilarating, amount of research, inwhich Dobie attempted to track down every Texanwho could pass on a rough-country legend. He talkedto old-timers, of all sorts, to Indians, Mexicans, andeven librarians. Included in his books are A Vaqueroof the Brush Country, a study of cowboys; TheLonghorns, a history of the development and im¬portance of cattle in Texas; and The Mustangs, achronicle of horse ownership.Just what Dobie’s long-term contribution toAmerican culture is is uncertain, and in this bookTinkle takes no rigid stand on the matter. CertainlyDobie did not make his mark as a scholar; he wasbored by “academicians with their eternal shoptalk.”He was not simply a sociologist or an historian,although ingredients of both disciplines went into hisbooks. He did a lot of newspaper reporting, but wasnot content to be just a journalist. Though a devotedson of Texas, both his mind and his body also wrentfar afield from its borders.In Tinkle's biography, Dobie’s strength lies mainlyin his personality — individualistic, independent,ornery, and vivacious. By virtue of personal zeal, hemanaged to direct public attention to matters outsideof his private life. And by investigating and reorder¬ing Texas legend and lore, he came to better unders¬tand his own place in life.Trusting in the buoyancy and inherent charm of hissubject, Tinkle successfully avoids the pompouseditorializing too often found in biographies. Hisbook is compact and spirited. For once the recountingof year after year in a life is not monotonous.Through a generous use of quotes, the author letsDobie speak for himself. And Dobie, as well asTinkle, does a very good job.presentaLA S0LUCI0Ni LIVE '•Ida Noyes Hall November 17.19788-00 pm - 100 aml>\\( I 1\< I'lM ("111 >\ W Ml Mil.Irnmi j-ic-krTs.:,r’ : ' U.-wtol I- ( lob U..\ Of-. -mi i.ativo ci i.ti n\t. s(x ir i\ UNION BOARD PRESENTSFrom New YorkNATIONAL SHAKESPEARE COMPANY'SSaturdayNovember 18,19788 P.M.

He could take wild, thrashing phrases and —while building surges of sound — limn them with abeautifully articulated clarity of texture andbalance.”tteiner's reputation as director of the Symphonyhas today reached mythic proportions, and there aremany players in the orchestra who believe that themusic produced under Reiner’s regime was the best inthe Symphony’s entire history. The records made forRCA during Reiner’s period — particularly one ofStrauss’s Also Aprach Zarathustra — are often con¬sidered to be the finest ever made, including thoseproduced during Solti’s era.Solti is forever being compared to Reiner, and sinceseveral of the principle players in the Symphony weretrained under Reiner, his influence is still very muchwith the orchestra. ‘‘Reiner always had a very cleansound,” says Donald Peck, principal flutist in theChicago Symphony. ‘‘He also favored the brass andpercussion; he didn-t particularly care about thewoodwinds. Yet he was a brilliant conductor. Just asSolti is a brilliant conductor. I find they’re very muchalike in many ways. Maybe Reiner was more versatilethan Solti. And Solti realizes this; he just doesn’tconduct the music he doesn’t do well. When have youseen Solti conduct a French composer, exceptsomething bombastic like Berlioz? Solti knows hisforte and he does it better than anybody — I meanMahler and Bruckner, wow! Reiner was a bit more: hetried to do French things. Some were very good, somewere not.”The fact that Reiner today has a wonderful reputa¬tion among orchestra members is nothing short ofmiraculous. During his reign most of the orchestramembers loathed and feared Reiner, and the reasonwas that Reiner ran the orchestra in the great, tyran¬nical tradition of Toscanini. There are stories of in¬stances in which Reiner was cruel, astonishingly im¬patient, and, according to one player of that era, ‘‘asadist.” He attacked players verbally during rehear¬sals, went through complicated maneuvers to get aplayer fired, and nearly sent men running from thestage in tears. Reiner had an enemy’s list of people tobe fired, and there was always a great deal of in¬security in the orchestra then, even during the Sym¬phony’s best days.Reiner spent ten years with the Chicago Sym¬phony, and just as the orchestra’s reputation swelledin those years, so did the resentment and bitternessof its players. Reiner slowed down quite a bit duringhis last seasons, and in 1962-1963 his position waschanged from musical ‘‘director” to musical “ad¬visor.”A search began to find a new director, and most ofthe candidates came from the ranks of guest con¬ductors. George Solti was a top choice.Solti was then director of the Royal Opera in Lon¬don, and his performances as guest conductor of the10—The Grey City Journal —Friday, November 17, 1978 New York Metropolitan Opera had won him signifi¬cant attention. Solti turned down the offer to becomeconductor of the CSO, so the Orchestral Associationturned to Jean Martinon.Martinon became musical director in October, 1963.Reiner died November 15, 1963, only a few weeksbefore the start of a five-week guest concert engage¬ment which was to have celebrated Reiner’s seventy-fifth anniversary.Initially, the former French infantryman Martinoncaused a great deal of enthusiastic support amongcritics and Orchestra Hall patrons. The fifty-threeyear-old conductor was described in the press as aman “with ideas”, and he managed to court the favorof the notoriously cavalier Cassidy of the Tribune.Martinon’s concerts were described as “breathtak-ingly accurate’ ’, and he even initiated changes on theinteriors of the Orchestra Hall.But soon, a series of major problems set in on theentire Orchestra. Martinon was viewed by many to beat the center of the crisis. The revamping of the Or¬chestra Hall had not been as successful as originallythought, and there were grumblings that the Hall’suniquely effective sound system had been tamperedwith and perhaps even spoiled. Union difficultiescaused fighting between members of the orchestra,and players becme divided into camps.The imperious Ms. Cassidy began to criticize Mar¬tinon, claiming along with a chorus of other criticsthat the Symphony was losing out becuase Martinonhad relinquished the traditional German sound for aninterest in French and modern sounds.Attendance fell, gifts to the Symphony waned; theInternal Revenue Service began to demand that Mar¬tinon pay more than a hundred thousand dollars inback taxes because he had not cleared his special taxstatus as a foreign citizen (as Solti would later do),and Martinon began to retreat into the protection of atiny coterie of friends, isolating himself from variousmembers of the Symphony.Martinon never truly gained the full respect of hisChicago Symphony Music Director Sir Georg Soltiwill conduct the world premiere of EasleyBlackwood’s Symphony No. 4 at the Chicago Sym¬phony’s eighth week of subscription concerts at 2:00p.m. Friday, Nov. 24, and 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov.25, in Orchestra Hall. Blackwood is a Universitymusic professor currently on sabbatical.Blackwood’s Symphony was commissioned by theChicago Symphony in celebration of the Orchestra’s80th anniversary. Begun in 1970, the Symphony’sfirst movement was completed in June of 1976 and theentire score was finished approximately one yearlater.Scored for a large orchestra, the Symphony isdedicated to Solti and its three movements are, in the own orchestra, some of whom felt that he was at bestan average, even mediocre conductor, while othersviewed him as an extremely gifted conductor who wassimply at odds with the more practical aspects of run¬ning the Chicgo Symphony.George Solti succeeded Martinon in 1969, and hiscollaboration is one of the most successful marriagesof conductor and orchestra in the history of sym¬phonic music (he and his orchestra are forever hailedas the “sine qua non” of modern day musicalensembles).At first, Solti disdained the more showy conductorssuch as Leonard Bernstein by devleoping a self-effacing style. Bernstein will appear at a concert inflowering cape and tossled hair, whereas Soltigenerally shows up with a black coat thrown over aloose shirt and baggy pants. Few of his movementsattract the audiences attention away from the or¬chestra to himself.“When everything is going fine,” says principaloboist Ray Still, “he doesn’t interfere with the or¬chestra by going into a lot of acrobatics to make theaudience think it is his struggling which is producingsuch fine music.”Solti’6 effect on listeners is uncanny. Music criticWilliam Furlong describes the mystique that sur¬rounds a Solti performance:“Just before he gives the first downbeat,” writesFurlong, “he shuffles his feet and then plants themfirmly on the podium. He then plunges into a parox¬ysm of large and angular gestures, beating staccatowith furious up and down movements of both arms . .. And then there are quieter moments when he swit¬ches from harshness to softness, from parodicvulgarity to paradisiacal delicacy. He signals apianissimo by drawing his left hand across his mouth— ‘softer, softer’ — or mounts a moment of lyricalromance by cradling his left hand under his heart. Inthese moments he is so intently introspective — withhis heavy-lidded eyes seeming to look at his thoughtsmore than at the people to whom they are being con¬veyed — that there is almost a messianic effect whenhe bursts out of it and suddenly stabs one regal fingerinto the air, seeming in that moment to twist dozensof destinies around it.”Solti’s relationship with the players in his or¬chestra is perhaps the best in the history of the Sym¬phony. An occasional brusueness may season his ad¬monishments to his players, but Solti has kept hisreputation as a gentleman.“I do not lose my temper. I do not throw batons.’;Solti says. “That is nineteenth century stuff. I neverdo any of that old-fashioned nonsense, which todaydoesn’t work anyway. Toscanini once threw a baton,it hit the eye of a second violinist in Milan, and theman lost his eye. Toscanini had to pay for the rest ofhis life to that violinist for that anger.”In addition to his Chicago Symphony post, Soltiwill become Principal Conductor and Artistic Direc¬tor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra inSeptember of 1979. There will be many who will besorry to see Solti leave Chicago for even a shortperiod of time.“Something extraordinary happened in Chicago,”Solti once said. “I made no changes. We didn't haveto adjust to each other. Our ways of making musicwere the same. Wine became champagne; we sparkletogether. It’s like Siegfried and Brunnhilde: the girlwas beautiful and Siegfried turned out not to be impo¬tent.”composers words, “...conceived thematically withtransformations, variations, and fluctuations inmodality that are not unlike traditional classicalforms.”“Uppermost in my mind as I composed the workwas the creation of a harmonious musical design,”said Blackwood. “No conscious effort was made toexpress anything other than musical ideas. Musicalideas, by their very nature, are evocative of feelingsthat cover a broad spectrum.”Blackwood does not feel that the composer’s owninterpretation of his piece should be a controling fac¬tor in a performance, although that interpretation isof some interesti “1 am perfectly content to let thework speak for itself,” says Blackwood.Solti conducts Blackwood’s Symphony No. 4Janet Planner- former U Cstudent and New Yorker writer-dies at 86by Claudia Magat“Memories are the specific invisible remains in ourlives of what belongs in the past tense. It is now morethan a half century ago, back in the opening 1920’s,that for the first time Paris began being included inthe memories of a small contingent of youngAmerican expatriots, richer than most in creative am¬bition and rather modest in purse. ”Janet Flanner, Paris Was YesterdayJanet Flanner was one of those expatriots. Flanner,who died November 7 at age 86 in New York City,went to Paris in 1922. For the next 18 years she wrotean acclaimed semi-monthly “Letter from Paris” forNew Yorker magazine under the pen-name Genet.Paris in the 1920’s was the home of the “lost genera¬tion,” as Gertrude Stein was fond of saying. F. ScottFitzgerald, Sinclair Lewis, and Ernest Hemingwayare the best-known of the self-exiled Americans.Picasso was in Paris too, under the wing of Stein, aswere painters George Braque and Henri Matisse.Many other American and European artists andwriters were there. It was one of those rare times inhistory when a talented — if poor — group of peoplebecomes an informal movement and forges ahead inliterature and art.World War I had just ended. Americans who hadbeen overseas returned to the United States anddrifted, jobless and uncertain about their futures.Many settled in Greenwich Village, where they ex¬hibited enormous appetites for pleasure. They drankand danced and stayed up all night, and here a smallbohemia was born. Critic Malcolm Cowley wrote,“Bohemia begins as soon as people in any city realizethey can earn a living with a pen or pencil.” But theVillage bohemia was quickly integrated into the mid¬dle and upper class worlds, and the liberal doctrinesthat guided bohemia — living for each moment,paganism, self-expression — all boiled down to thedoctrine of greater and greater consumption. Disillu¬sioned and feeling like “aliens in a commercialworld,” as Cowley wrote, bohemia went to Paris insearch of romance.Janet Flanner ended up in Paris via another route.She was born in Indianapolis in 1892, and attendedprivate schools until she entered the University in1912. In Flanner’s obituary in the New York Times,Alden Whitman wrote, “One of her teachers wasRobert Morse Lovett, whom she later described asthe only man in Western colleges who actually taughtwriting. Her formal study of the persuasion of words,as she liked to regard writing, was ended after twoyears when the university requested her to leave as arebellious influence’”.Flanner returned to Indianapolis where she got ajob as movie critic for the Indianapolis Star, anddeveloped strong interests in women’s suffrage andcrime. She was married for two years to an Indianabanker, and during this time she travelled extensive¬ly in Turkey, Greece, Crete and Austria. When Flan¬ner finally settled in Paris in 1922 the marriage ended.Flanner started writing for the New Yorker in 1925.She lived in a hotel on the Left Bank, and took tosecluding herself twice monthly to write before sen¬ding her copy off to Harold Ross, then editor of theNew Yorker. Flanner took painstaking care withevery sentence. In her countless records ofeverything she observed in Paris as the Timespointed out, the word “1“ never once appeared.In April 1939, Flanner wrote, “Paris now thinksthere is a good chance of peace, though of uncertainduration. Unquestionably there will be peace untilHerr Hitler addresses his Reichstag.” Five monthslater in a “Letter from Paris” she noted, “Generalmobilization, expected this weekend of the crisis,hasn’t yet taken place. For three days Danzig hasbeen in military readiness for the arrival of the Ger¬ man fleet. It hasn't yet sailed in. Despite the disap¬pointing Henderson-Hitler interview, diplomaticcircles believe that Roosevelt’s insistent messagesmay have made an impression. For these threereasons there is today a faint hope of peace ...”And on September 3, the war began to escalate. “Itis really a commonplace war,” she wrote, ’’since it issimply a fight for liberty. It is only because of itspotential size that it may, alas, prove to be civiliza¬tion’s ruin.” Flanner left when Paris fell to the Ger¬mans in 1940.Susan Sontag explained the influence that photo¬graphy has had upon the way that Westerners, par¬ticularly Americans, perceive the world, to a recep¬tive audience at the University of Illinois, CircleCampus last week. Entitled “Ways of Seeing,” Son-tag’s lecture augmented her controversial essay OnPhotography, one of the latest of her works. Theseworks include novels and plays, such as I, Etceteraand Death Kit, and other critical essays, includingStyles of Radical Will, and Illness as Metaphor.Sontag illustrated what she called the romantictradition of understanding the world by dividing itinto opposing categories. She focused her attentionupon one of these: the literal, or the eal. versus themental, that which exists in our minds.We resolve this pluralism by realizing that the lit¬eral symbolizes the mental. Photography recordsthe literal, and makes the photograph itself indis¬tinguishable from the real. The image on the photois not an imitation of nature; it is nature. Throughphotography, we have the power to better under- Back in New York, she continued writing for theNew Yorker and worked to rally support for the FreeFrench. She returned to Europe in 1944, at which timeshe wrote one of her most memorable articles, on Ger¬man art thievery during the war.Until 1974, Flanner lived in Paris, still sending off“letters” to William Shawn, present editor of theNew Yorker. Her writing, however, always reflectedthe advice of Harold Ross who told her in 1925, “I’mnot paying you to tell me what you think. I want toknow what the French are thinking.”stand the world by creating more accurate imagesof reality.Although Sontags' ideas were complex, the after¬noon was far from exhausting. She was concise,exact and fresh. Having invited the audience towrite down any questions that they had to ask her.Sontag chose to respond to one person who askedwhether she found that her intellectual life left hersexually crippled.She used the opportunity to deliver her most im¬portant statement of the session: tht oppositionswhich seem to exist in our world, such as thought vs.emotion, literal vs. imaginative, are not inherent inour life; they are human constructs that should bedone away with. Classifying herself as “a true Aris¬totelian" she called for looking at the world as aunified whole.After her remarks. Ms. Sontag stayed to auto¬graph copies of her books. A graduate of the Uni¬versity, she spoke enthusiastically to some currentundergraduates about her years here in the fifties.She asked these students if the University was asstimulating today, to which they all shruggeddoubtfully.

His films are surreal, derivingtheir gags by blatantly discarding normal spacialand temporal restrictions and by presentingoutrageous situations that could only happen in themovies.The General, probably Keaton’s most popular film,tells the story of a young train engineer, Keaton, whowants to join the Confederate Army, but is rejectedbecause he is needed at work.

Timothy Bottoms is your average,hard-up. juvenile-but-knows-better high school By Mr. Barney Hoffstaedersenior in your quintessential decaying Texas town.He is shown maturing through typical stages: sexualexperience, disillusionment with an ideal, realizingthe value of true friendship. Bogdanovich tries toconstruct his film out of standard narrative andvisual tools, but he over-emphasizes them, creatingunnatural characters in simplified predicaments. Healso pays overt hommages to some of the directorswho best used these tools but he does so without tyingthem to Bottoms’ maturation. The result is a preten¬tious, overly allegorical film rather than thestraightfoward. accessible movie like those of thedirectors he admires so much. Saturday at 6, 8:45 and11.Experimantal Erotica.

Sunday at1, 2:45, 7:30, and 9:30.Toni (1934), directed by Jean Renoir. (NAM) Thefilm which is said to have paved the way for neo¬realism. Taken from a newspaper article, the storydeals with a romantic foreign worker who fails in lovewith a local flirt. Renoir sympathetically shows howhis struggle to satisfy his romanticism prevents himfrom attaining his ideals and how the indifferent ac¬tions of others make his actions seem absurd. The ac¬tors are not professionals and the camera seems tohave only been lucky to catch the actions in most neo¬realist films. Go see it.

At 38,Mitchell is arguably the most important jazzmusician and composer to emerge from thelast decade.Mitchell founded the Art Ensemble ofChicago, the best known of the Associationfor the Advancement of Creative Musicians(AACM) groups. This band could be describ¬ed as a collective of musical archaeologists,excavating and examining countless forms ofjazz and related music, from gospels andchants of the nineteenth century or earlier, tothe explorations in intensity of the New Yorksixties avant-garde.These purists do not modify or streamlinethe styles to update them, but rather playthem as they are, sometimes to the point ofexageration and parody. This same quality ofpushing matters to the extreme can be foundin all of Roscoe Mitchell’s music.Anyone who was intrigued by the music ofAnthony Braxton earlier this month will wantto hear this performance by his old friend andmentor. Mitchell introduced Braxton to theAACM, and the two have worked togetherrepeatedly over the years, including a duetalbum this year.The two-part program tonight will includeboth Mitchell’s compositions and those ofothers.Since 1973 Mitchell has toured severaltimes as a solo performer, and was the reci¬pient of Composer-Performer Grants from theNational Endowment for the Arts in 1973 and 1975. Mitchell has reportedly been working ona ‘Well-Tempered Klavier’ for soprano sax¬ophone for a year, and possibly, will presentsome results of that work tonight.In a solo format, Mitchell’s talents can begrasped more quickly. As with Braxton.Roscoe Mitchell works with the musicalbasics of silence, space, rhythm, and colora¬tion. Through contrasting usage of thesematerials comes a stunning array of textures.The melody may begin being played in thelower register in long flowing lines and sud¬denly then jump to the higher register, thestatements shortening in length, with silencesmade almost crashing by the artistry of theirplacement. Roscoe can go from the mostgrating and ferocious of tones to those ofgreat gentleness, should the emotional logicof the piece demand such a change.To conduct these explorations Roscoe Mit¬chell comes formidably equipped. He plays anumber of reeds, among them the bassbaritone, tenor, alto, and soprano saxophonesas well as many flutes. On alto, however, he ismost at home. His sonic range and facility onthat instrument is phenomenal — those whohave heard his award-winning album Nonaahcan attest — his sound is lean and angular(the better to move), and the shapes, alwaysdistinctive, move together or against oneanother with great creative tension.The concert comes before the expectedrelease of two albums, the Art Ensemble’sNice Guys on ECM this winter, and Roscoe’sown next on Nessa after that.This is the first jazz concert to be held inBond Chapel. Sponsored by the ChicagoFront for Jazz, admission is S2.50 with UCID,$3.50 without. The concert is at 8:00 p.m.ATTENTIONGerman Reading ExaminationFrom Jan. 15 to May 4A preparatory course will be given by anative German Ph.D. former professorat Columbia U.

Chicago came back to trail bytwo at 14-12, but could get no farther beforetheTians won 15-12.The third and final game was tense all theway through. Wesleyan went up 6-1, but theMaroons pulled back to 6-4 when JanetSullivan’s serve forced three Titanmistakes. The Titans’ lead stretched to 10-6,then to 12-9. Theresa Friend cut the lead to12-11 with two hard serves, but Wesleyanpicked up another point right after that.'The heroine of the first game, AudreyLight, could not come into the game again,so Ellen Markovitz stayed in to serve. Shetied the game at 13 with help from a spike byShmavonian. After both sides failed to scoreonce, Becky Chase started to serve. Afteranother winning spike by Shmavonian,Chase put in an unreturnable serve to givehicago the game at 15-13, and the match, twogames to one.The real surprise came about a half hourlater. Wesleyan had defeated Concordiaearlier, so they and Chicago had 1-1 records.The problem was that only two of theseteams could qualify for the quarter finals.This had to be decided on point differences.Wesleyan had defeated Concordia 18-16and 15-10. and lost to Chicago 4-15, 15-12 and13-15 for a total point difference of minus 3.Concordia’s difference was plus 4 afterdowning Chicago and losing to Wesleyan.Chicago’s point difference was plus 4 afterdowning Chicago and losing to Wesleyan.Chicago’s point difference was minus 1. Thestartling announcement was made to thosefew who had waited: Wesleyan, the numberthree seeded team, was eliminated from thetournament after the first round.The remaining teams were reseeded intothe quarterfinal round. Chicago was placednumber five, to play the number four teamFriday. The new fourth seed was Concordia.In the first game of the second roundmatch, Concordia coasted to a 9-0 lead, andstretched it to 13-2. Then the Maroonscaught fire.Inspired play by Torrey. helped Chicagotake a 14-13 lead. But Concordia would notlet Light put them away again, and thentook back a 15-14 lead. The kittens returnedTorrey’s serve for the first time, and thenscored for a 16-14 win. The Maroons playedtough in the next two games, but Sullivanwas the only one who stayed hot, andChicago lost the second game 15-11 and thethird 15-10. Concordia had to settle for fourthplace with a loss to Lewis University in thesemi-final, and to St. Xavier in the consola¬tion round on Saturday. Lewis went on to win the championshipround from three-vear defending championGeorge Williams College 15-9, 15-6 and 15-4.The win was especially sweet for Lewis’captain, Erin Murphy, who played forWilliams’ first champ in her freshman yearThis tournament was the first ever in thenewly renovated Crown Field House.
