On to Huntington (W.Va.)! College Bowl team in nationalsBy Coll EgebowThe University of Chicago Col¬lege Bowl team emerged vic¬torious in the regional champion¬ship tournament held lastSaturday in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.In its first year of intercollegiatecompetition, the team overcameseven other teams from Chicagoand Wisconsin to qualify for the na¬tional championship tournamentbeing held this weekend at Mar¬shall University in Huntington,West Virginia.After starting the College Bowlprogram from scratch last fall, theChicago team found themselves upagainst two especially experiencedteams at the tournament, two-timedefending champion U. of Wiscon¬ sin-Eau Claire, and NorthwesternU., each sending some of itsplayers back for their third year ofcompetition. The only experiencedplayer on the Chicago team wasteam captain Lorin Burte, who hadpreviously competed as an under¬graduate for Oberlin College. Theonly experience that teammembers Tammy Ravitts, JamesGillespie, David Rubin, and MitchGilaty had was in Chicago’s loneintercollegiate game earlier in theyear against Washington U. in St.Louis. That match, which Chicagoalso won, can be heard this Sundaynight on WBBM-AM (78) radio at7:30 pm.Despite their inexperience, theteam trained hard, meeting onvarious evenings with coach Kate McGregor and other teammembers James Hyman, ZbigniewBanas, Michael Dodge, and TomTerrell to review everything fromVergil to the Seven Deadly Sins.The training climaxed in the car onthe way to Eau Claire as Burtewhipped Rubin and Gillespiethrough a frenzied rendition of thesymbols of the elements. By thetime the tournament got started, itwas evident that the Chicago teamwould be more competitive. In twopractice rounds, Chicago crushedthe Eau Claire team 625-90 and wona hard fought and exciting matchagainst Northwestern 325-310. Inthe Eau Claire match, the Chicagoteam correctly answered everyquestion posed to it.

The SGFC, whichdistributed money over thirty stu¬dent organizations, would receivesixty percent of the funds, or ap¬proximately $72,000.The Major Activities Board iscurrently supported mainly by thefour-dollar quarterly MAB feecharged to undergraduates. But ifthe graduate students approve theactivities fee. an undergraduatereferendum will be held in springon whether or not to replace thePera and Izaak Wirszup MAB fee w'ith a uniform five-dollaractivity fee for all students.The SGFC receives $30,000 to$35,000 each year from the Univer¬sity. Student organizations seekingfinancial assistance apply to theSGFC and may be given either agrant or a loan.However, the university has notincreased the amount of its yearlyallocation to the SGFC appreciablysince the early seventies despitemounting inflation, and the com¬mittee has found requests for fundsfar outstripping its resources.For example, during the currentfiscal year, beginning in June, theSGFC has received applicationsfrom thirty-six groups asking for atotal of $79,087. It has given outonly $34,927 in grants and loans tothirty-two groups and is within “afew' hundred dollars” of exhaust¬ing its budget, according to SGspokesman Steve Kehoe.Some student groups have ap¬parently stopped expecting anysubstantial aid from the SGFC."We figured ‘why bother (apply-By Peter EngWhen John Hope Franklin stepsup to the podium next Tuesdaynight to begin his talk, he will bemarking a milestone in the devel¬opment of a remarkable series."Looking Backward: Civil Rightsin the 1970’s’’ will be the 150thWoodward Court Lecture.Founded in 1971 by Izaak andPera Wirszup, Resident Masters ofWoodward Court, a dormitorycomplex for undergraduates, thelecture-discussion series has at¬tracted the attention of students,faculty and alumni as no other sin¬gle program at the University. TheWirszups originally conceived ofthe series as small gatherings -"about 25 to 30 people’’ - in the liv¬ing room of their apartment in theCourt.

"Wewant to change the tenor and toneof campus life...lighten it up.”Jeff Leavell SGFC chairman,said that the activity fee is in thebest interest of graduate studentssince many SGFC-financed groupssuch as the Organization of LatinAmerican Students, the Greek Stu¬dent Association, and the Gay andLesbian Alliance are made uplargely of graduate students.The activities fee would alsomake student organizations "lessdependent on the University’s fi¬nancial whims.” according to Lea¬vell. He said that he was "eightypercent sure” that the Universitywould remove its financial supportfrom the SGFC if the activities feeThe series has also attracted at¬tention outside of the University.Several people say that the seriesis perceived of as indicative of anintellectual quality unique to theUniversity. The University’s Of¬fice of Radio and Television re¬cords and distributes the lectures.They are broadcast during the Uni¬versity radio shows, "From theMidway,” which is syndicated tobout 75 radio stations around thecountry. They can also be heard onVoice of America by anyone tuningin overseas. Many of the lecturesare reported on and quoted from inthe media. A good number havebeen published. Franklin’s firstWoodward Court lecture was re¬printed in the July II, 1975 Con¬gressional RecordThe series has provided a forumfor distinguished faculty membersfrom all departments and schoolsof the University to share the re¬sults of their research and reflec¬tions. The scholarly range is im¬pressive, as attested to by a glanceat the series schedule since 1971:James McCawley has spoken on"Logic as a Natural Science,” was approved.SG members have started acampaign to convince graduatestudents to vote yes on the referen¬dum. They say they have met with"mixed results” so far but Leavellsaid he expects a "close” victoryfor the fee proposal. Dean of Stu¬dent Charles O’Connell supportsRobert Clayton on "Lunar Chemis¬try and its Terrestrial Implica¬tions.” William McNeill on “TheShape of European History.”Harold Brown on "RenaissanceMusic,” Nicholas Rudall on "Act-ing-the Crafty Art,” and so on.For some, the series has offeredan opportunity to listen to and talkwith Chicago notables who arerarely seen on campus. Lecturesgiven by Saul Bellow. RichardMcKeon. Bruno Bettelheim, andMilton Friedman hve packedcrowds of 800-1000 people. Speak¬ers from outside the University,though few on the series schedle.have been no less enthusiasticallyreceived In fact, the biggest drawof them all w as Cornell astrophysi¬cist Carl Sagan, a University grad¬uate who returned in 1978 to dis¬cuss “The Exploration of Mars”with about 1100 people.Some of the most consistently in¬teresting talks have been given byUniversity professors whose workis of national and international rep¬utation. but who are unfortunatelynot well-known to students. Aprime example is Benjamin Bloom the measure.A ballot will be included in everygraduate student’s registrationpacket starting next week. Ballotsmay be turned in when the studentregisters for Spring Quarter Lea¬vell said that voting will continuefor five or six days after Thurs¬day.of the department of education,who has lectured twice at Wood¬ward. Bloom has had a major im¬pact on educational reform both inthe U S. and in developing coun¬tries around the world.The Wirszups will tell you thatthe only reason the series exists isbecause it benefits the students,and primarily undergraduates.They initiated the series in theirfirst year as Resident Masters.The Wirszups were concernedabout helping young students ad¬just to the University environment.To them, the lecture series is “ayear-long extension of orientationweek. Here the students have theopportunity not only to meet othermembers of the University com¬munity close up. but also to be ex¬posed to the ideas of distinguishedscholars, and thus to think moredeeply about their own interests.”Many of the speakers have limitedcontact with undergraduates in theclassroom; the lectures bringthem together in an informal set¬ting.Turn to Page 16150th Woodward Court Lecture on TuesdayMonte Carlo night SaturdayBy Peter ChapmanA touch of Continent al class comes to Chi¬cago on Saturday night, when Infinity Pro¬ductions presents Monte Carlo Night at IdaNoyes Hall.

In addition, two PlayboyPlaymates will appear, free refreshmentswill be served, and gifts will be awardedfree and in return for chips.Infinity Productions is a registered stu¬dent organization in its first year of opera¬tion. The group is informally organized;there are “15 or 16 official members,” ac¬cording to their president, James Chen.Other students join for specific events, likethe Monte Carlo Night production, Chen, asecond-year student in the college, and hisfriends formed the group in order to bringsocial events to the students on campus.Monte Carlo Night is the group's secondproduction. In the Autumn quarter. Infinityplanned to promote a concert by the bandIron Butterfly. When that deal fell through.Infinity successfully organized the on-campus screening of the film. “Emman-uelle.” Ideas and preparations for all prod¬uctions come from within the group, allmembers of which are students in the Col¬lege.Chen said that this is the first event of this James Chen Neal Cohertscale produced by a student organization, kind of activity,” he said. “A few signs have"We want to see if people here want this been placed off campus, but we mainly want to draw University students.” Chen has sentspecial invitations to graduate students."This is not just an undergraduate affair,”he said. Infinity Productions has invested$4500 in the production; they hope to attract900 to 1000 students, in order to break even.“Tickets cost five dollars,” Chen said,“which is more than students here are usedto paying for a social event. We hope to givethem their money’s worth.”Originally. Infinity had planned to hirePlayboy Bunnies to distribute gifts. Howev¬er, the Bunnies were unavailable on a Satur¬day night, so the Playmates, Liz Giazowskiand Jill De Vries, were hired to appear in¬stead. Chen said that he did not appreciatethe charge of “rapist” written on some ofthe ads posted on campus; the appearanceof Playboy personalities is simply an attrac¬tion in keeping with the Monte Carlo theme,he said. Chen expects that the evening willbe fun for all involved, including those work¬ing; the shifts are arranged so that every¬one can partake in all activities.Monte Carlo Night will be held on Satur¬day, from 8 pm to 1 am at Ida Noyes Hall.Tickets purchased in advance at the Reyn¬olds Club box office will be worth ten freechips.

Even atthe very vulnerable hour of 3 am on Sundaynight, the picketers outside the Hyde Parkstation seemed determined and confident.The local house, which normally servicesthe area between 49th Street and 59th Street,News Analysisand east of State Street, was totally shutdown by the strike. Two members of thehouse who had decided not to strike werepulled by the city to work in some combinedhouse elsewhere in the city. The nearest sta¬tions now operating are at 80th and S. Chi¬cago, and 49th and Ashland. The only peopleat the Hyde Park house now are a pair ofpolice officers assigned by the city, andteams of picketers, huddled around a trash-can fire, protected by an improvisedshelter.At 3 am, there are only a small group ofDavid B AppelMary V.L.

The strike votewas taken shortly before Christmas, andserious negotiations began again after theholidays. But the union reached a breakingpoint earlier this month, and called a strikeon February 14.This was an action which none of the fire¬fighters wanted, but which the overwhelm¬ing majority supported. “We have no strikefund,” said one picketer. “It was never theunion’s intention to strike. We are even try¬ing to negotiate a no-strike clause . . . Butnobody listened to the demands that wewere making till there was a job action.”One of the strikers’ goals is to have a sayin the manpower levels, which they feelwere below a safe level even before thestrike. The strike has lowered these levels toskeleton crews, which are giving “inade¬quate protection” according to the strikers.But fortunately, there have been few majorfires during this time. This may have some¬thing to do with the milder than normalweather which Chicago had experienced be¬fore the storm on Monday. “We’ve been for¬tunate with the weather (as far as picket¬ing),” said one striker, “but so has the public. Cold weather brings more fires thanmild. Boilers, stoves and space heaters areused and misused, and frozen hydrantsmake it difficult to contain fires.”The union had offered a plan to the city inwhich the firefighters would work duringthe strike, on the condition that the city givecontrol of the houses to the union.

Spokesmen for CBS, which broad¬casts “60 Minutes,” reported receiving anunusually large number of letters about thesegment, with 90 percent backing Silber.Silber has been under fire for allegedly at¬tempting to revoke the tenure of professorswho disagreed with his stand against the un¬ionization of B.U.’s clerical workers. Lessprecise allegations against Silber includethe restriction of academic freedom and ofstudent rights. Last year, more than 500 pro¬fessors at colleges and universities through¬out the Boston area signed a petition callingfor Silber’s removal.The “60 Minutes” profile portrayed Silberas a strong-willed conservative determinedto impose fiscal responsibility and strictmanagement on a decaying university, de¬spite the opposition of students and somefaculty members.

Among the portfolios werethree photographs of nude University ofIdaho students.Two hundred students protested the pho¬tographs, both because of the use of nudityand because they felt the portfolios did notaccurately portray student life. The editorsof the yearbook countered by saying that theprotesters oppose changes from the tradi¬tional format of the yearbook, and that moststudents like the photographs.Although the student government refusedto appropriate money to grant the protes¬ters refunds, they did unanimously pass aresolution reprimanding the yearbook edi¬ tors for damaging the reputation of the Uni¬versity and the student government.* * *Northwestern University’s dean of admin¬istration has apologized to a student whoclaimed that the dean punched him in thestomach at a basketball game.The incident occurred at the end of aNorthwestern basketball game when deanLaurence Nobles attempted to leavethrough an emergency exit door.

Nobles then left through the emergencyexit.The usher told the Daily Northwesternthat he didn’t think Nobles meant to hurthim. but just wanted to get out through thedoor. Nobles explained the incident by say¬ing that the door was usually open, and thathe shoved, not punched, the student.After a story about the incident appearedin the Daily Northwestern.

The best place to start isperhaps with what is clear. The Pinochet re¬gime overthrew the Allende government, al¬most certainly with CIA aid. The Pinochetregime is politically oppressive and the Chi¬lean people do not have the political free¬dom enjoyed in the U S. or certain other ad¬vanced nations. Milton Friedman haspublicly criticized this political oppressionby the junta on at least two occasions I knowof. Unfortunately, Chile is not the onlycountry in the world whose citizens do nothave political freedom. Certainly economicprocesses and political organization of agiven society are not wholly separable. TheChicago Boys have themselves stated that ifthe coup had not taken place they wouldprobably have never had the chance to im¬plement their economic policies.What then is the criticism of Friedmanand Harberger? Once the coup had takenplace and the junta was in power they hadno means to combat political oppression inChile beyond publicly denouncing the junta.Is it claimed that the economic policies theyespouse have worsened the Chilean econ¬omy and decreased the economic welfare ofthe Chilean people? On this point the evi¬dence is fairly clear. Recent reports out ofChile in the British and American pressshow that the inflation and unemploymenthave been drasticaly reduced, the massiveshortages of a number of goods and servicesduring the Allende era have disappeared,and tariffs have been slashed or eliminatedon numerous goods. The latter has perhapsdone the most to help the Chilean people as awhole since tariffs increased the wealth ofChilean manufacturers by protecting themfrom foreign competition while hurting Chi¬lean consumers because they could not buycomparable foreign goods at lower prices.Is the criticism that, if Friedman and Har¬berger abhor political oppression, theyshould not have had any contact with theChilean government economists? Shouldthey have shunned the Chicago Boys whenthe latter approached them to discuss gov¬ernment policy while Friedman and Har¬berger were touring private Chilean univer-The ChicagoMaroonEditor: Andrew PatnerGrey City Journal Editor: David MillerAssociate Editors: Chris Isidore and DavidGlocknerFeatures Editor: Mark WallachSports Editor: Andy RothmanPhoto Editors: Neal Cohen and Dan Bres¬lauLiterary Review Editors: Richard Kaye andMolly McQuadeAd Manager : Steven KaszynskiAd Designer: Jan BorengasserOffice Manager: Leslie WickBusiness Manager : Joel GreenStaff: Ben Adam, Curtis Black, SarahBurke, Jeff Cane, Peter Chapman, JohnCondas, Jeff Davitz, Mark Erwin, VictorGoldberg, Jake Levine, Rebecca Lillian,Audrey Light, Philip Maher, Greg Mizera,Sherrie Negrea, Cy Oggins, Chris Persans,Scott Rauland, John Shamis, AllenSowizral, Cecily Stewart, Howard Suls, Dar¬rell WuDunn, Phoebe Zerwick.The Chicago Maroon is the student news¬paper of the University of Chicago, pub¬lished on Tuesdays and Fridays.

If so, they would have only made theChilean people worse off by helping to con¬tinue the economic misery rather than alle¬viating it. By denying Chile their prescrip¬tion for economic welfare they would not bedoing their job as defined by Ms. Alaimo and116 others, i.e., “that social scientists shouldcontribute to the well-being of humanity”.Secondly, if the criticism is the one stateddirectly above, then many of the critics areguilty of maintaining a double standard.

Bindergraduate studentin the Business School Tuition protestTo the Editor:The conspicuous absence of outraged pro¬test, mild objection, or even acknowledgem¬ent of the latest tuition increase perpetratedupon the student body is evidence that theadministration’s policy of eliminating thosestudents whose financial circumstanceswould most motivate them to protest a pat¬tern of tuition hikes and financial aid cut-ResponseA subtle rebuttal to a sinister chargeBy Jeff DavitzIn her opinion column of a few weeksago, Abbe Fletman seems to have pickedup on a “subtle and sinister change” inthe nature of the undergraduates oncampus, and for the life of me I can’t fig¬ure out how the facts lead her to this find¬ing.According to Fletman, this change isrevealed in three incidents involvingsome type of destruction by students.Her premise is that these incidents arenot unrelated, that there is some causalfactor common to all three. Moreover,she adds, these incidents are “three ofthe most extreme examples of such be¬havior.” In other words, there are othermanifestations of this causal factor, butfor the sake of argument we can examinethe three worst examples.Why do these incidents have anythingto do with each other in the first place?Fletman admits that she tried at first “todismiss these happenings as unrelated,the product of a few crazies in a studentpopulation of relatively stable, or at leastnon-destructive, individuals.” But unfor¬tunately with the Green Lake episode shethinks the damning evidence is in and sheis forced to assert “But the fact thatthese occurences were enacted by groupsof students reveals a collective lack ofjudgment that is frightening.”The “overwhelming evidence” then isthat these incidents involved “groups ofstudents.” Therefore, Fletman feels obli¬gated to look for the underlying psycho¬ social motivation.I don’t believe that “the fact” thatgroups of students are involved in threeactivities qualifies those activities as re¬ flective of some arcane psychosocialphenomenon. I know groups of students,literally hundreds, who are asleep at thesame time. I also know students, literallythousands, who are awake at the sametime. I think that the student body is dan¬gerously inconsistent.I’ll give Fletman the benefit of thedoubt, though, and admit that all threeincidents involved some type of violence.Violence, however, is an extremelybroad term encompassing many dif¬ferent kinds of activity and motivation.Before we link violent incidents on thebasis of their violent nature we had bet¬ter be sure that we are talking about thesame type of violence. The Leopold andLoeb case and the Winter Weekend van¬dalism both involved some violent ele¬ments. There were other elements inboth these incidents and it is preciselythese elements which compel us not tocall them related in any meaningfulway.Fletman suggests that the University“has become a bleaker place” because ofthe violent nature of the “new collegestudent (who) wants to look good and feelgood now.” Three incidents with an un¬specified interrelationship and an unspe¬cified character hardly qualify as asound basis for declaring a “trend”among a group as large as the youngerstudents at this University. We reallyaren’t even sure who Fletman is con¬demning because the only people sheclearly exempts are her friends and her-Turn to Page 16OpinionReflecting on Blacks and the draftBy Robert M. FranklinA well known principle of the “dismal”science of economics tells us that when agiven area of fertile land is planted, nur¬tured, and cultivated to its optimal pointof productivity, any additional input toincrease growth will yield a progressive¬ly smaller return. Hence, the “law of di¬minishing returns.” I find this principle afitting and provocative analytic tool forcharacterizing the concern of manyBlack Americans about the current movetoward military registration and a poss¬ible draft.In the 20th century. Black Americanshave been made to feel just Americanenough to be included in the defense ef¬forts of World War II, Korea, and Viet¬nam, but just Black enough to be exclud¬ed from top military posts (only 6.2percent of Army officers are Black), de¬sirable private sector jobs, good schools,and decent neighborhoods. The Blackcommunity has, nonetheless, sent its fa¬thers, sons, and leaders abroad to spreadand protect democratic-capitalisticideals which they have only partially ex¬perienced at home. When Black bodieswere shipped home in metal boxes (myuncle included), or were released withdishonorable discharges (Blacks re¬ceived 56.7 percent of all Army dishonor¬able discharges and 47.5 percent of allbad conduct discharges), the grief andpathos of the experience was accompan¬ied by a sense of moral outrage best sum¬marized by the question, “Was it worthit?” Blacks, like other Americans, havegiven progressively larger amounts ofhuman and material resources to Ameri¬can defense efforts from World War II toVietnam with the hope that their livesmight be qualitatively and quantitativelyenriched, but the returns have grownsmaller as the sacrifice has increased.Hence, the ironic relevance of a rede¬fined “social law of diminishing re¬turns.”In these brief remarks I would like toadd another perspective to the public de¬bate on the registration and draft. Mypurpose is to raise questions and issueswhich are of some concern to the Blackcommunity in particular and to the widermoral community in general.The prospect of Black Americans hav¬ing to register and be drafted raises atleast two moral-psychological concernsin my mind. First, given the oppressedposition of many Blacks in this country,is it wrong to participate in a war againstpeople who may be struggling to liberatethemselves? Is it, then, right to fightagainst, say the Soviet Union, which isnot struggling for liberation and indeed issomething of an oppressor to many coun¬tries? Does an affirmative reply to thefirst question logically entail the samefor the second?And secondly, if Blacks do decide toparticipate in this registration, draft,and possible war or conflict, what kind ofself understanding is necessary to fightwith a good conscience? Will they fightas Americans with one set of patrioticclaims, or as Black people and members of a larger Third World with a competingset of loyalties and claims; or asmembers of the wider human communi¬ty, an identity which may preclude andcondemn aggressive, destructive behav¬ior altogether — a far more radical, andfrom my perspective, Christian claimWhatever the responses to thesemoral-psychological questions may be,the problems should be consideredthoughtfully, not only by young Blacks(who will, to some extent, depend on thechurch’s and critical academia’s moralreflection and ethical interpretation ofvarious claims which may help themmake informed, defensible decisions),but by all of us who are morally sensitiveand responsible. In distilled form, thesequestions challenge each of us to con¬sider:Is it ever morally right to take militaryaction against people who are them¬selves resisting political, economic, andreligious oppression? And given theproposition of a “just war”, how does themoral person understand herself in thisconflict, fraught with uncertainties aboutwhich position is just and right? (Is shean agent of God, a tool of an ideologicalstructure, etc.? Can a soldier at war alsobe a moral agent if war itself is immor¬al?)Much has been said recently about therole of Blacks in the Vietnam War. We allknow by now that that war was fought byangry, predominantly poor and Blacksoldiers.

In in¬flation-adjusted dollars in fact, the 1979-80tuition is the lowest in ten years. Overall, tu¬ition has remained fairly constant when in¬flation is considered. It is, rather, a long¬term trend of financial aid cutbacks andchanges in the composition of aid which haspurged Black and poor students from theQuadrangles and saddled middle-incomestudents with insurmountable debts whichbind them financially to the University andfuture employers while insidiously stiflingintellectual expression. A brief examination of the trend in finan¬cial aid confirms this argument. In 1970, thetotal amount of aid was $19,919,000($17,130,000 in 1967 dollars). Ten years laterit is $22,678,000 (in 1967 dollars, $9,864,000) —a decrease of 45 percent. The amount of aidgiven in the form of grants, upon which thepoorest students must rely, has declined 53percent (from $14,283,000 to $5,956,000 inreal dollars). Financial aid as a percentageof total University expenditures has de¬creased from 13.81 percent in 1970 to 8.1 per¬cent in 1980. Even if the administration actu¬ally does increase aid in 1981 over and aboveinflation, it will have a long way to go to re¬store the cuts of the past decade.Compounding the absolute reduction inthe amount of financial assistance has beenthe striking change in the composition ofaid. In 1970, the University distributed $7.83 in grants for every dollar in loans. In 1980,this has plummeted to $1.80 in grants perloan dollar.In short, the administration’s long-termpolicy of cutbacks in financial aid andchanges in its composition constitutes glar¬ing evidence of its institutional racism, sex¬ism (since women, especially those who arenot supported by their families, have accessto far fewer financial resources than men),and class bias. Whether this policy of ex¬cluding so much talent on a pretext of “qual¬ification” will ultimately benefit the Univer¬sity’s patrons remains to be seen, but it isclear that in serving the perceived interestsof its corporate masters, the administrationhas, consistently and unmercifully, outdoneitself.Ben DavisStudent in the CollegeHarberger: “Social science” for political oppression?

They argue that his con¬tributions as a “social scientist” have beenabove the realm of political squabbles.Milton Friedman corrects this misconcep¬tion in Capitalism and Freedom. There hecalls it a “delusion” to think “that politicsand economics are separate and largely un¬connected; that individual freedom is a po¬litical problem and material welfare an eco¬nomic problem; and that any kind ofpolitical arrangements can be combinedwith any kind of economic arrangements.”But events themselves prove better thatthe repression of the military dictatorshipgoes hand in hand with the imposition of a“free market” economy. The junta’s poli¬cies of repeal of agrarian reform, drasticcuts in social spending, freezing wages andsalaries, eliminating price controls, and re-privitization of nationalized firms, could nothave failed to provoke popular opposition,especially from a population as politicallyaware as Chile’s. These policies would havebeen impossible to impose without killingthousands, imprisoning over 100.000 politi¬cal prisoners, banning trade unions andneighborhood organizations, and curtailingdemocratic rights of political activity andfree expression, all of which the junta hashad to do. in order to carry out the policies ofHarberger’s proteges.In an interview with The Maroon lastyear, Harberger seemed to condone, or atieast understand, the reasons for the coupwhen he explained. “The generals felt thatihe soaring inflation and economic crisismerited a drastic response.” It is hard tosee how such a vast toll of human sufferingcould be fit into an equation, or in any wayunderstood as warranted by an importede-conomic crisis.Harberger’s explanation also ignored thefact that the crisis was the result of econom¬ic sabotage by Allende’s opponents and themultinationals behind them. In 1972 the U.S.government, under Nixon, organized an “in¬visible blockade” of U.S. aid (except to themilitary) and international lines of credit,and the right-controlled Chilean Congressvoted increasing government expenditureswhile denying tax increases to cover them.In 1973 the campaign was escalated to in¬clude illegal hoarding of goods; blowing upfactories, power plants, and pipelines; andtwo truckers’ strikes, with CIA aid. whichparalyzed the flow' of goods.The* Allende regime, elected in 1970, hadobserved the constitution and 100 year dem¬ocratic tradition of Chile, while pursuing aset of progressive policies aimed at system¬atically improving the lives of working andpoor people. It promoted price controls, foodsubsidies, free health care, expropriation offoreign monopolistic corporations in min¬ing. industrv and agriculture underworkerscontrol, and land reform. The economy wasimproving, the GNP growing, inflation and unemployment dropping.Then the right wing, with funding fromITT and other U.S. based multinationals,began its covert offensive against the econ¬omy. In the midst of the economic crisis pre¬cipitated by this, the Chilean people reaf¬firmed their support for what they called“their” government. In the March 1973 Con¬gressional election, the Popular Unity coali¬tion captured a larger share of votes than inthe election which had brought them topower The national bourgeoisie and theirforeign backers realized they would have tosubvert the democratic process if they wereto regain power. They did so, with CIA aid,in a bloody and brutal coup in which Allendew as machine gunned to death on Septemberll, 1973. Thousands more were executed inthe following days.The military junta brought in a group ofChilean economists known as the “Chicagoboys,” all having been trained at the Uni¬versity of Chicago under Harberger andFriedman, to “eradicate the inflation”through “a program of economic revival,”while the junta executed the “destruction ofthe Marxist cancer.” The junta’s initial“Declaration of the Principles of the Chi¬lean Government” is reprinted in full in Mil-ton Friedman’s book, Capitalism and Free¬dom.The new policies, described above, imme¬diately threw the economy into chaos, withdrastic drops in GNP, industrial production,per capita income, and the employmentrate. Economic power in the private sectorwas rapidly centralized, with m|gttt)ationaIcorporations regaining their stranglehold inseveral key industries, Hunger*,malnutri¬tion, and starvation were widespread, manysmall businesses went bankrupt^ and whitecollar workers and professional^ lost theirjobs by the thousands. There w as a massiveredistribution of income, away from wageand salaried workers toward large propertyowners.These were the immediate effects ofFriedman and Harberger’s . monetaristtheory, which would protect capitalists’rights to any kind of profits and to total con¬trol over their workers, (including the rightto cut wages, lengthen the work day, andlay-off and speed-up workers). This particu¬lar brand of economics encourages the natu¬ral tendency of competition toward concen¬tration, driven by the competitiveadvantage of big capital over small. It ispremised on a fundamental imbalance ofpower, since while “combinations of labor-’are taboo (along with minimum wage lawsand unemployment compensation),parallelcombinations of capital are soaaahowsacred, since government and not buSlttessis somehow supposed to be the most dangerrous source of monopoly power.So we see what laissez faire economicsmeans in reality in this case: open territoryfor “profit maximization” by local monopo¬lies and multinationals, redistribution of in¬come toward the local oligarchy, and a re¬duction in the living conditions andcollective power of the vast majority of Chi¬lean people.Traditionally people use their politicalpower to secure policies which protect themfrom the vagaries of the market and the im¬balances of power to which the "free mar¬ket” exposes them. But for Harberger. thisis interference in the market. Though heargues that competitive capitalism pro¬motes political freedom (the same argu¬ment used by defenders of corporate sup¬port for the racist South African apartheidregime), it is clear that for him the essentialrelations of capitalism come first in this process. The Chilean government calls thisa “time differential.” In Chile this meansdeath, imprisonment, and torture for thou¬sands and thousands.Rather it could be argued that basic dem¬ocratic rights are primary, and it is the ex¬tension of democratic power over economicdecisions, where people are most vitally af¬fected, that will allow the full developmentof human potential.Friedman and Harberger visited Chile forsix days in March. 1975, at a time when theruling generals seemed to be becoming dis¬couraged about the initial effects of the eco¬nomic shock treatment. The two academicsurged the dictators to continue on theircourse and be patient. They also providedlegitimization to a junta beleaguered byworld opinion, with claims that a “healthy”economy would pave the way for the resto¬ration of democratic rights.Yet it is difficult not to notice the fate ofthose nations whose people have been askedby Harberger to give up their democraticrights in exchange for a light at the end of along tunnel of austerity during whichforeign investment will flourish and thelocal oligarchies may accumulate the neces¬sary capital to lead to a "healthy” economy.In order for these local capitalist classesand their governments to follow Har¬berger’s advice of maiuLauung an economicatmosphere of comparatively high returnson capital, pleasing to both the capital richmultinationals and the capital hungry na¬tional bourgeoisie, these local capitalistclasses and their governments must neces¬sarily maintain a political atmospherewhereby the subordination of all other eco¬nomic classes and their perspectives on eco¬nomic management and redistribution isguaranteed.It is significant that Harberger’s influenceon Chile began long before his tour withFriedman, in 1954. when he first assumedhis role of professional consultant to privatebanks and multinational corporations doingbusiness in Chile.At a conference last May on "Oil and Mex¬ico” — a country whose economic “mira¬cle” based somewhat on advice from propo¬nents of the “Chicago School” ended incrisis and politically polarized unrest —Harberger tried once again to expound histheory of the fundamental rupture thatexists between the pure science of econom¬ics and the unpure art of political manage¬ment. It became clear to the skeptical audi¬ence in attendance that Harberger’sinability to defend his thesis in the face of abarrage of criticism signified that the im¬portance of this thesis was not in its empiri¬cal applicability but in its ability to justifythe use of economic theory without any so¬cial considerations. But unlike other coun¬tries such as Mexico where Harberger couldclaim that its problems were not his faultsince they did not follow his advice exactly,Chile appears as the real “lab test.” not onlyfor his economic policy, but as the bloodylab test that will determine exactly whatlevel of political repression is necessary toimplement the "pure” economic advicewhich hands over a nation to a governmentof the capitalist oligarchyThe Chilean business community invitesU.S investment in an ’ economy on themarch.” claiming success in reducing infla¬tion. increasing diversified exports and im¬ported commodities and capital, while theU.S. Embassy in Chile heralds the junta’seconomic program as “the vanguard of aworld-w ide neo-conservative response to themenace of growing inflation.” But politicalrepression has not been alleviated by suchThe O economic progress.A UN report on human rights in Chile,submitted Nov. 21. 1979, notes with alarmthat "in certain respects the situation inhuman rights has deteriorated.” While aState of Siege in one province was allowed toexpire, the national State of Emergency,which “severely restricts a number of basichuman rights,” has been extended, “despitethe fact that the public disaster’ on which itis purportedly based does not exist,” ac¬cording to the reportThe UN commission reports that new lawshave been decreed which restrict rights ofassociation and expression, as well as thepresumption of an individual’s innocenceuntil proven guilty. Laws have increased thepowers and perogatives of security agen¬cies, while the courts consistently allowthem to exceed their legal limits. While tor¬ture methods have been refined to avoid kill¬ing interrogation subjects, “such methods,which are detrimental to the human dignity,the physical integrity, and even the lives ofindividuals, are being applied with ever-in¬creasing frequency.”The UN report criticizes the junta's“Labor Plan” (a key element in Har¬berger's economic model), noting that,among other restrictions, the right of freeassociation and the right to strike are res¬tricted by new permanent restrictions, andthe right of collective bargaining is reservedfor company unions. In addition, tradeunions are separated from any political ac¬tivity, a clear encroachment on their demo¬cratic rights, and a denial of powers vital tothe defense of their interests.A current study by Chilean economistFernando Dahse documents the concentra¬tion of wealth in the hands of an elite ofabout a dozen economic "clans” — six ofwhich control two-thirds of the total assetsof the nation's top 250 companies — at theexpense of considerable contraction in wageincome and a forcible increase in productiv¬ity. much from redundancy. This concentra¬tion is traced to the sale of nationalized in¬dustries, including banks, and the lifting ofprice controls, which destroyed all but thestrongest competitors. According to Dahse.the clans also depend on unchallenged influ¬ence in the government; an alliance, in a su¬bordinate capacity, with foreign capital;control of the mass media; and the continu¬ing exclusion of the majority of the popula¬tion from any participation in the govern¬ment. Dahse concludes that, far fromhaving overcome the socio-economic ten¬sions of the early 1970s, the present govern¬ment has deepened themWhile Harberger and Friedman's contro¬versial Chilean tour symbolically supportedthe brutal political and economic policies ofthe dictatorship, more fundamentally, Har-berger’s "social science” constitutes an at¬tack on the basic democratic and humanrights of the vast majority of the world’speople The University as a free market ofideas must be the arena for discussion ofthese vital issues. It was disturbing whenHarberger’s students urged The Maroon tocensure a critic's remarks because theyfound them "offensive.” This seems to becharacteristic of social scientists trying tomanipulate and control populations for theirclients. When Harberger was interviewedby the Maroon last year, he said. ”1 am un¬happy to be involved in a debating contest.”Considering the vast human suffering heought to feel responsible for. this attitude isdisgraceful, and totally out of the spirit ofthis educational institutionAnd one wonders what contribution Har¬berger could make to the intellectual life ofHarvardcage Maroon—Friday, February 1980—5THE HEDWIG LOEBSCHOLARSHIPFOR UNDERGRADUATERESEARCH in the COLLEGEResearch Proposals \oic Pei nil Accepted forthe Summer and Autumn Quarters of 1QROSubmit Proposals to: Dean of the CollegeHarper 209Deadline: March 14. 1980Proposal must contain description of project, research methodestimated budget and Quarter to be used.Awards may range up to 8600.00 fovrTCHICAGO SINAI CONGREGATION5350 SOUTH SHORE DRIVEINVITES THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY TO AP U RIM FAIRSunday.

By TennesseeWilliams; directed by Jose Quintero. At theBlackstone Theatre, 60 E. Balbo, throughMarch 16. 977-1700.by Jeanne NowaczewskiTennessee Williams' pantheon of eccen¬tric southern gentlewomen has a new addi¬tion: on Tuesday night this Chicago audi¬ence saw Geraldine Page breathe life intoan aged, crazed Zelda Fitzgerald, the pivotal figure for Williams' latest work, Clothesfor a Summer Hotel. In Ms. Page's hands,Zelda becomes more than the wife of the au¬thor of the incandescent heroine of hisnovels. She is a real being, flickering, ghostlike, yet vehement in her mad assertions ofall she believes she might have been or stilllongs to be. Geraldine Page has createdmany other Williams women, and her whis¬pered, flutey voice and tender, quirky, ex¬ploratory gestures, set Zelda trembling andquerulous before us. We must be grateful toPage, for without her, there would be littlepositive to report about this latest offeringfrom an old master of American theatre.The idea of the play is exciting. Late in hislife, after years of neglecting her, F. ScottFitzgerald comes to visit Zelda at her sani¬tarium. Told she has improved, in his egocentrism he expects to find the luminousquixotic beauty he once adored restored tohim. He is shocked, therefore, by the cackling, furious old woman who greets him,plump and piteous in her tattered dancinggown. Williams calls this piece a "ghostplay," for Zelda and Scott spend the after¬noon summoning the ghosts of their troubled, glamorous pasts. Indeed, they seetheir present realities merely as ghosts, andyearn for a substantial youth, full of promise. Through flashbacks we learn of Scott'stwo passions: work and liquor, and ofZelda's marital unhappiness, which was relieved only once by a brief, vengeful affair.Zelda taunts Scott with the knowledge thatthis was her one private moment that he"can never put in a novel." All of this happens in Act 1, which promises much; sadly,nothing follows.In Act II there is a long flashback to aparty. Presumably, we are to share Zelda'sanxiety as her affair ends and to sympathizewith Scott as he defends his professinal career in an argument with Hemingway. Instead, our eyes are pleasantly distracted bythe flickering gold and pink ribbons of theparty set and the spangled, opalescent flappers of the dancers. Our ears are distractedby a light, lyrical rendition of Ellington's"Sophisticated Lady" which apostrophizesZelda: "Smoking, drinking/Never think-ing/Of tomorrow." And all this distractionis necessary, for the scene has no substance.Just when the play should be careening to itsclimax, full of grit and energy, it drifts off,losing itself in the establishment of a"mood."The play is too much a ghost play. DespitePage's efforts, even Zelda's soliloquies—yes, there are those Williams soliloquies—sometimes float past us, mere reminiscences. There is none of the urgency or theneedy poignancy that fires the soliloquies ofBlanche in Streetcar or Amanda in Menagerie and makes them work on stage. Noteven speeding up Clothes would help; thescript itself is missing a tablespoon of yeast.It never rises beyond what it is from thefirst: Zelda remembering. It ends, and shereturns to the asylum; Scott does not seemmeasurably changed. We should have seenthe young Zelda and her slow march to madness. The crucial breakdown scene shouldhave been there, rendered in a crescendo soliloquy. We get only the juxtaposition of Zelda's present degradation with her onepast triumph—her affair. It's touching, butit's net dramatic.Kenneth Haigh gives a dry, repetitive ren¬dering of Scott, contributing to the perfor¬mance's low energy. He never sustains au¬dience interest on stage alone, and he can beovershadowed by Page's simple, silent pre¬sence in the wings. Perhaps the Fitzgeraldcharacter appealed to Williams because theauthor's dissolute middle age seems a proj¬ection of the playwright's own troubled past.Williams may have felt the part; Haighdoesn't. David Canary as Edward, Zelda'slover, is properly muscled for the beach andBlessedis Moreby Karen HornickThey could bring Barnum and Bailey's toRockefeller Chapel and it would be difficultto see the show as anything but a divine reli-gio-socio spiritual experience. It's damnedhard to be cynically secular in such a place;if the lofty gray atmosphere doesn't get you,the organs, bells, and stained glass will.Imagine the difficulty, then, when you'rethere faced with the staging of a serious, in¬tently philosophical drama like RobertBolt's A Man for All Seasons. Particularlywhen its production is as competent and in¬spiring as this one.A Man for All Seasons is the story ofThomas More's refusal to approve HenryVII I's break with the Church of Rome. A fa¬miliar enough historical tale — yet it opensfor the playwright a can of worms largeenough to threaten any diet. Obligations tofamily, profession, monarch, church, andGod must swarm within the protagonist.Reason and virtue alone are to provide hispersonal transcendence.Though he bore a deeply medieval, reli¬gious sensibility, More was a man of cultureand taste—a Renaissance man. His scholar¬ly works and personal Apology make himone of the great intellectuals of his day; afriend was Erasmus, who dedicated InPraise of Folly ("Encomium Moriae") toMore. And More was a civil servant, a "manof all hours" (as Erasmus put it) who ad¬vised and enjoyed companionship with ac¬quaintances from all levels of society.Kenneth Northcott's portrayal of Moreemphasizes the lawyer's mortality, not thesaint's lack of it. The less More is depictedas superhuman, the more readily we sym¬pathize with his predicament. If Paul Sco¬field's movie version was spiritual, North¬cott's is spirituel. Because Northcott- ismore jolly in aspect, nasal in voice, and ad¬vanced in years, his casting magnified theconsequentiality of More's self assertion.The drama is enhanced.One character, The Common Man (FredWellisch), appears frequently in differentroles like "steward," "boatman," and"jailer." He interrupts to introduce characters and to explain and philosophize aboutthe goings on, to "alienate" our feelingsfrom the play. The setting works similarly:there are no curtains or crafty blackouts.We see actors entering their roles as theywalk into playing area and we see stagehands shifting props. Ronald Falzone, thedirector, insists on making these Brechtianeffects do their job. bed scenes, but beyond that he is only ade jquate. His accent is disturbing, as are the !other accents of the sanitarium doctors andnurses. The idea of attempting to preservean international setting in the midst of this"ghost play" seems to be distracting andunnecessary.The dream like set is centered around thefragmented "wall" of the sanitarium containing the two tall iron entrance gates. Astrange tree glows red with flame-like buds,and smoke can drift up out of the rocks. Thelights play in ruddy colors among the hills ofthe backdrop, making it easy to feel the coldwind Zelda insists blows round this hilltop asylum. Two nuns pace continuously infront of the great doors, their white caps andblack voluminous capes furling rhythmical¬ly and ominously, a constant symbol of thehard, implacable fate that waits for bothZelda and Scott. This set, so ready to receiveZelda's apparitions of the past, is well con¬ceived, and helps make the performance ap¬pealing. Page, in her best moments, makesthe performance moving. One good dose oftalent, though, and the mood created by aset, can't carry a show. Clothes for a Sum¬mer Hotel is a disappointingly mild experi¬ence, especially from a playwright who hasthe power to give us so much more.Kenneth Northcott as Sir Thomas More in Rockefeller Memorial Chapel's production of AMan for All Seasons.Yet the production's grip on us is inherent jin the script. More hugs and weeps with hisI daughter one moment, and faces the chop| ping block stoically the next. Such humility,i such strength! The play's attraction lies inour recognition of More as a twentieth cen! tury hero. An individual rejected by his country, committed to but distant from hischurch, he nonetheless clings to personalbelief in truth and human significance. It isnot irrelevant that More was not canonizeduntil 1935.Unfortunately, all three performancesthis weekend are sold outMon daw March -irdBE- itt> _Edu ard Dnizinskv, HarpCHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRAMst. / , x •In a Icctnro-ilomonslrationInternational HouseSpin4dinission free! . .1 ^ Rockefeller Memorial Chapel1 5850 South Woodlawn AvenueSUNDAY* MARCH 29 A.M.

His three sailors remainlost soul stereotypes: Jack Nicholsonplays the father without a son (for thatmatter, he's lost his wife); Otis Youngis the poor, southern black who justfollows the rules to survive; andRandy Quaid is the substitute son, adumb cluck, 18-year old who is out ofplace anywhere. Nicholson and Youngare taking Quaid to eight years of pris¬on for trying to steal $40. Under theguise of integrity and entertainmentthey teach him to fight for what hewants. These training sequences areat best cute, but most of them are ofthe "What'd they do that for?" sort.While the characters they meet are nottoo absurd, Ashby carefully points outthe stereotypes they are based on. Forexample, a major help to Quaid's"maturation" is a classic, liberal,upper middle class New Yorker whoeven has a bohemian religion. This su¬perficially aside, the film is tedious,too slowly paced, and blandly photographed. Tonight at 6:45 and 11 inQuantrell. Doc; $1.50. —GBGrand Hotel (Edmund Goulding, 1932):Garbo never uttered: "I never vant tobe alone." But she did say: "I vant tobe let alone," in this star studded Hol¬lywood classic. She plays a worldweary ballerina, and she is definitelynot alone. Her company includes JohnBarrymore as a roue who steals jewel¬ry for a living; Wallace Beery as atough and rough industrialist; JoanCrawford as a secretary on the make;Lionel Barrymore as a dying mangasping for a last romance; and LewisStone as a sightseer who comments onthe spectacles. Goulding orchestratesthe action nicely, but the film has agedbadly. It's too slow, too talky and toocreaky. Only Garbo's weariness andCrawford's freshness remain interesting.

WarrenBeatty plays a scheming gamblerwho, with the help of an understandingand stoic madame, Julie Christie, triesto bring good times to a northwesternmining town called PresbyterianChurch. Inevitably, the Bible wins outover cards and flesh in this frostbitten,existential Western. Stunning cinematography by Vilmos Zsigmond.

But the vivid colors, with theirpsychological undertones, place thefilm firmly in the era of Godard. Eventhough the film's tone hovers continuously between the maudlin and thesentimental, its stark, primary colorsovershadow the uncertainty.

Doc; SI.50. —TSStranger on the Tnird Floor (Boris Ingster, 1940): In this perverse study ofguilt and social responsibility, a newspaper reporter unknowingly sends aninnocent man to the electric chair. Un¬able to bear this, his fiancee ends theirrelationship, and causes him to question his own purity. The reporter thanis accused of another murder and hisnewfound sense of justice reunites himand his love. Love as salvation is amajor theme, but also one must have afull understanding on one's self and so¬ciety in order to love. The perversityenters from the film's form. Despitethese romantic notions, the film isstark, stoic, and oppressing. Ingster'scinematography permits his charac¬ters to move only through mazes andwell defined paths. The near atrociousacting implies the perversion withinthe heroes; one senses something isawry in their noble declarations. Andthe dialogue for societies' members isalmost as childish and naive as themurderer's (who is magnificentlyplayed by Peter Lorre). Monday at7:15 in Quantrell. Doc; $1.50. —GBMurder My Sweet (Edward Dymtryk,1945): Raymond Chandler said he regards this the best film adaptation ofany of his novels, but at least one fan ofThe Big Sleep is forced to disagree.Chandler must have referred to thepresentation of his action in Sweet,and this one, unlike Sleep, does eventually make sense. The problem is DickPowell as Philip Marlowe: where Bogart is self assured, Powell is hesitant; where Bogart is quick witted,Powell is thick headed. After Bogart,it's silly to see Powell's quiet irony atthe base of Chandler's dick. Those whoplace Sweet above Sleep must preferokay action to great characterization;in movies of this sort where only one isto be had, I'll take the latter. Mondayat 8.30 in Quantrell. Doc; $1 for doubleBy Peter EngRobert Shaplen is widely regarded as thedean of American correspondents based inAsia. He has been writing for The NewYorker since 1943; from 1962 to 1978 heserved as the magazine's Far Eastern cor¬respondent. He has won five Overseas PressClub awards, as well as special citationsfrom the University of Wisconsin and Columbia University.Shaplen is the author of ten books, includ¬ing, The Lost Revolution: The U.S. in Viet¬nam, 1946 66 and Time out of Hand: Revolu¬tion and Reaction in Southeast Asia. Hismosfrecent book is A Turning Wheel: ThreeDecades of the Asian Revolution as Wit¬nessed by a Correspondent for The New worked on the Tribune, covering Columbia,'education and so on at space rates until 1938,when I finally joined the regular staff. Thatwas still in the post-Depression period and itwas hard to get a regular job. Over the nexlfive years, as I said, I covered just aboutevery kind of local story.So that was the background. I always didwant to go abroad, but I was in no hurry.When the war came along, that became theimpetus.What are some of the problems if any, thatthe white, American journalist encountersin gathering information in Asian, third-world countries?Well, no, the white problem has never beenone that's come to bear in Asia as it has to a in country A as you can in country B orcountry C. Not only because of the political,religious, and cultural aspects of the situa¬tion, but also because of our own strategicconsideration ... Korea being a perfect casein point. Carter did indeed back down tosome extent on making his human rightsprogram the driving force behind our ulti¬mate policy in Korea, where strategic con¬siderations were, indeed, perhaps para¬mount . . . even more important, as far asour own role out there was concerned, thanhuman rights. So gradually he came around— quite properly, I think — to a better com¬bination of the two.So in that sense, the current policy towardsPakistan is . . . tan, which is different because here we areup against a sudden new bind as a result ofthe Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. We haveto decide what we're going to do about Pa¬kistan. Here we are dealing with anotherdictator, and a country where human rightsdon't really exist at all — there's no politicalfreedom, no forthcoming elections, nothing.At the same time, in order to protect the Pa¬kistanis and our own interests in the PersianGulf, to at least create some atmosphere ofrestraint so that the Russians don't pushthrough any further, we are getting rein¬volved by offering arms to the Pakistanis.The possibility of trouble exists, not only inBaluchistan but also in Iraq and other coun¬tries along the whole so-called Arc of Crisis.Conversation with RobYorker (Random House, 1979).In A Turning Wheel Shaplen examines indetail the present political and social condi¬tions of eleven countries of Southeast andNortheast Asia. The most interesting partsof the book are those which Shaplen basedon extensive interviews with poor villagers,middle-class intellectuals, national leaders,and so on. The book is written in polishedprose; Shaplen's historical analysis is clear,and his prescriptions for the future have thering of much experience.Shaplen now lives in Princeton, New Jer¬sey where he was interviewed by telephoneon February 9, 1980.PE: Let's begin by tracing your career abit. Why did you decide to go into journal¬ism? Why foreign correspondence, and hav¬ing decided that, why a career in Asia?RS: I started out on the Herald Tribune forseven years, from 1937 to 1943. Then I wentover to Newsweek. I wanted to be a war cor¬respondent. I had done a lot of crime and police reporting, local features, rewrite, allkinds of things. Then the war was going on. . . everybody on the paper wanted to go towar. I had a IB draft deferment, so I couldapply to be a war correspondent. The Tri¬bune wanted to send me to Moscow, but Ididn't want to go to Moscow.So you did have a choice as to an area.Yes. When Newsweek offered me a job as awar correspondent, I thought that I wasgoing to go to Europe, where most of myearlier background had been. But when Iwent over to the magazine, early in 43, theyasked me whether I would go to the Pacificinstead. And I said sure, why not. So I wentout to New Guinea, and worked up the linethere through the Philippines and Okinawa.Anybody who was a war correspondent inthe Pacific at the end of the war naturallywanted to go to the ultimate destination,which was first Japan, and then on to China.So I spent the first month of the Occupationin Japan, and then went over Tientsin, toPeking, down the coast to Shanghai, andopened up a bureau there.My father was a foreign correspondent inGermany, when I was a kid, back in theearly 1920's. I grew up with that tradition. Iwas always interested in foreign affairs, ba¬sically interested in journalism. I neverthought of doing anything else. I did not goto the school of journalism at the UniversityDf Wisconsin, where I was an undergradu¬ate. (I don't believe in schools of journalism.It's a waste of time, really.) But I did go tothe Columbia School for one year, in 1937 38,primarily because, in those days — less truenow — the way to get a job on the Times orthe Tribune was to spend a year up there.They would even advise you to go: go therefor a year and cover Columbia news, they'dsay, and we'll give you some other stuff todo — rewrites, Board of Education stuff —and then maybe we'll give a job. This wasparticularly true of the Tribune, which wasthe greatest school of journalism in its ownright. If you spent a year or two at the Tri¬bune, you really found out what it was allabout. (My father actually worked at theTribune before he went over to the Times.)The Tribune was the kind of paper where ifyou were any good, you could not only keeplearning but end up writing page one stuff ina year or so, whereas with the Times youhad to climb slowly up the ladder, writingone-paragraph, two paragraph stories. So I greater extent in Africa, where I haven'tworked very much. The problems are thoseof language. . .Which languages did you know well enoughto use?Well, I don't know any Asian languages.French, some German. French was particulariy useful in Vietnam, and generally use¬ful in the Far East too. If I had known that Iwas going to stay out there as long as I did, Iwould probably have taken Mandarin,which is the basic language one should have,unless one really wants to concentrate onJapan, which is another thing again. But Ididn't know that I was going to stay thatlong to begin with, and moving around somuch it becomes difficult to take time out tostudy a language.Actually, my generation of correspond¬ents was quite notorious for being poor lin¬guists. Even good friends of mine like Tilman Durdin of The New York Times andArch Steel of the Herald Tribune, who wentout there in the 1930's, never learned goodMandarin. They depended on interpreters.But in the younger generation, or the cur¬rent one, even guys that are now in their for¬ties — people like Fox Butterfield of TheNew York Times and Jay Matthews of The(Washington) Post — did learn Mandarin.And correspondents who have gone to Russia have learned Russian. This has been dueto the newspapers and the magazines, whichnowadays, when they choose somebody togo to China or Russia, put him or herthrough a six month cram course in learn¬ing the language. And I think that's verygood. I've missed it through the years. Evenif you work through good interpreters,there's always a barrier. If you go to Chinatoday, for example, you get a government-assigned interpreter. Some of them are verygood, and you get to be friends with themand all that, but it's still very helpful toknow the language so that you can tell whatis being interpreted, or at least get the drift,and know that you're not being fed theline.You devote a fair amount of space in yourbook to human rights matters, and I'd like toask a few questions about that. In his Stateof the Union address last month, PresidentCarter affirmed that his administration'scommitment to human rights will continueto be a major aspect of America's foreignpolicy. Now along with arguing that "thesupport for human rights in other countries. . . (is) part of our national character,"Carter stated that the human rights campaigp is also in our national interest, because it fosters international stability. "Inrepressive regimes, popular frustrationsoften have no outlet except violence. Butwhen peoples and their governments can approach their problems together — throughopen, democratic methods — the basis forstability and peace is far more solid and enduring." My first question on human rightsis this: how successful do you think the campaign has been in promoting "democraticmethods" in Southeast Asia?That's highly complicated. I think originally— not only Southeast Asia, but all of Asia —Carter came up with this blanket definitionof human rights, and I think he overshot hismark. He set down a very commendablegoal f(#human rights — but it wasn't applic¬able to all countries and all areas by thesame yardstick. Situations in each countrydiffer, they vary tremendously, and youcan't push a human rights program as hard Let's come to that in a moment. But onKorea, Carter overshot his mark, and thendrew back to the point where he realizedthat, although strategic considerationscame first, we could continue to put pres¬sure on the Koreans on human rights ques¬tions as well. Which we've done, and I thinkwe've done that pretty well. A lot of thosepeople who were let out of jail in the last twoor three years were let out through our con¬stant pressure. But we kept up the distinc¬tion between that and the strategic aspect.At one point, two or three years back, manypeople in Congress were saying: well, weshouldn't be giving the Koreans any moreaid, we should be pulling out completely because of the human rights violations. I thinkthat was wrong. Now we have come back towhat I think is a proper mix. We've encouraged the North South dialogue, we triedto push Park Chung Hee into relaxing hisgrip, with some degrees of success fromtime to time, never as much as we wouldhave liked to have seen, but some. And nowwe're doing the same thing with the new regime, while maintaining our strategic posture.Now you come down to a place like Pakis We feel it's necessary to shore up the Pakis¬tanis' military to the degree where at leastthey have the greater ability to defend forthemselves against a possible further Sovietthrust.So there you have to weigh the balanceterribly carefully. I don't think we shouldkid ourselves or kid the Pakistanis or kid theAmerican people. We're doing this for avery specific strategic reason. It doesn'tmean that we at all approve of Zia's regime.It doesn't mean that we aren't in favor ofelections. It doesn't mean that we excusehim for his execution of Bhutto and all this.But you have to decide what is the para¬mount danger. We feel that it is necessary,in the context of the general strategic pic¬ture throughout the area, to, in cooperationwith our allies, shore up the Pakistaniswhile at the same time we shore up and re¬assure the Indians, and use both — particu¬larly the Indians — as a lever to persuadethe Russians to get out of Afghanistan. Andyou can do this and still not neglect thehuman rights aspect in Pakistan. The StateDepartment Report on Human Rights cameout just the other day, in which Pakistanwas severely criticized.the Soviet invasion of AfghanisWorld Bank, and America's relat:4—the grey city journal—Friday, February 29, 1980/e aresuit oft haveJt Palotherrightsliticalthing,le Pa;rsianere ofpushreintanis.nly incounCrisis. So this is a policy of balance over the longrun rather than a contradiction in the shortrun.I think so. I would be very disturbed if wedidn't continue to push Zia, who is now rid¬ing high. I'd be very disturbed if we didn'tcontinue to push him hard on civil rights, onthe elections, and maintain what we think isa proper political leverage over the situa¬tion.Whether we like it or not, there are situa¬tions in the world where human rights andpolitical freedom considerations unfortu¬nately become secondary to strategic considerations. I would not like us to continue aidto Pakistan for more than this one or two-year program. But even with that, I would which is important.You write in your book that Lee Kuan Yew,the Prime Minister of Singapore, speaks forthe leaders of several Asian nations when hedefends his repressive rule by pointing towhat he sees as the overriding threat ofCommunist subversion of the country fromwithin. Now we heard Pope John Paul II, atthe UN some months ago, denouncinghuman rights violations as especially perni¬cious when "national security" is used as ajustification. To what extent are restrictionson human rights justified in terms of national security?Well, Pakistan is a case in point again.There it's not a matter of our closing oureyes to what Zia does, but a matter of secu-Dert Shaplenakis-leastid foriovietlancehouldid thefor a>esn't be very unhappy if we didn't continue topush Zia on the elections and on humanrights matters. But for the moment, strate¬gic considerations are paramount. If youjust sat back and did nothing, the Russiansmight be tempted to move into the wholePersian Gulf area, to stir up trouble in Iraq,in Oman, and other places, hit targets of opportunity, including Iran. It wouldn't do anygood then to keep shouting about human rity prerogatives taking over.Human rights violations in Singapore arenot among the worst cases in the world. Leehas kept a number of people in jail far toolong. He's afraid to let them out. He will letthem out once they renounce Communism.But there are perhaps a score or more peo¬ple still in jail, three or four for 17 years,who should be let out. Lee's got a phobiaabout this. He's simply afraid that the Com-indent talks about human rights,listan, the Cambodian tragedy, the.ations with Southeast Asia.jime.or ofccusethis,oara-sary,: pic-ationtanisid re•ticu-uadeAndI theState:ameistan rights. I think there are times when youhave to have a firm policy on human rights,to use it as a very important lever wheneveryou can, but not let it be your only foreignpolicy consideration.The approach to human rights problemsalmost has to be perforce as much of a nega¬tive one as a positive one. You do what youcan in the most feasible way available atany given time. When you can push hard onsomebody like Idi Amin, then you take thatopportunity. At other times, as with Zia inPakistan today, you continue to expressyour opposition to the government, but otherconsiderations are, for the moment, para¬mount. But overall, I think, Carter's humanrights policy has been one of his successes.He has learned how to pace himself better, munists will pour down from Malaysia andtake over Singapore. I think he overdoesthat. But, at the same time, he has seen theevidence of what the Communists can do.I think Lee's greatest human-civil rightsviolations derive not so much from that relative handful of people he keeps in jail butshould be let out (and he's been letting moreand more of them out over the last year ortwo), but from his treatment of the pressand of labor. The newspapers are not free inthe sense that they cannot criticize the gov¬ernment — Lee will take their licensesaway. Labor, as I said in the book, occupiesa kind of paternalistic role in Singapore. Ithink it is more a matter of civil rightsrather than human rights in Singapore.There are human rights violations, but the larger, more damaging violations are in thecivil rights field, meaning freedom of labor,freedom of the press. So I wouldn't considerSingapore a prime case of human rights violations today.Definitely a prime case, and one of the mostruthless and most widespread cases ofhuman rights violations in the post war erahas been, of course, in Cambodia. In theFall, 1979 issue of Foreign Affairs, BarryWain, the Australian journalist, argues thatif the U.S. is really sincere about stemmingthe refugee flow from Indochina, it mustswallow its pride, immediately normalizereltions with Hanoi and offer that countryeconomic assistance.I'm all for that.He writes that if we continue our policy ofostracizing Hanoi for its human rights viola¬tions, we would necessarily have no leverage at all in that country.I was for recognition of Hanoi all along and Istill am. I think that we should have done itbefore we recognized China. There was aperiod of three or four months there whenwe could have, after Hanoi backed downfrom their S3.5 billion reparations demandand was willing to begin discussions. But atthat point, Carter decided he wanted to playthe China card; for political reasons here hefigured he couldn't do both together. I wouldhave preferred to see Hanoi recognizedfirst. But the reasons we aren't talking toHanoi now are twofold; the refugee situa¬tion and the invasion of Cambodia.So you do think that opening official dialogue y/ith Hanoi would be one step forwardin solving the refugee situation?Yes, I do. I think it's always better to be inrather than out of a country. By the sametoken, we've recognized Russia and China,and there are no human rights in either ofthose two countries . . . and Hanoi's no better or no worse.Wain makes the same point.That's right. I think we should also recognize the (Heng) Samrin government inCambodia. Now there you could make acase that diplomatic recognition is usuallybased not on what you think of a country, buton whether the government is in control ornot. And you could say, with logic, that theSamrin government is by no means in control of Cambodia — it's run by the Vietnamese. So there's a legal reason for not recognizing Cambodia. But I think we wouldbenefit by making some sounds in that di¬rection.Last year the University of Chicago gavethe Albert Pick Award for promoting international understanding to Robert McNamara, for his work as President of the WorldBank. Around campus there grew up a considerable amount of protest, on the part ofboth faculty and students, against the choicefor the award, mainly due to McNamara'ssubstantial role in the U.S. military involvement in Vietnam. But there also surfaced atthe time some criticism of the World Bank'spolicies towards the developing countries.Of the areas with which you are familiar,perhaps Southeast Asia and the MiddleEast, how would you assess the Bank's performance in the developing countries?The Bank readily dispenses large amountsof money to countries that are really in noposition to use that money in a proper way,and it's not supervised, either. This is certainly true in Southeast Asia. It's true in Indonesia, for example. There large amountsare given out either under the World Bankor under the 13-nation consortium that's giv¬en the Indonesians billions upon billions bynow. I think the Bank goes into situationsnot so much without examining the financialcircumstances in the country — they'repretty good with coming up with reportsbased on financial analysis alone . . . debtstructure and so on. But they're invariablytoo optimistic in their outlook, even finandaily. What they mostly fail to do, however,is to examine the social, cultural, and political structures of the countries that theyhelp. And that brings them up against thequestion of how these countries are able toswallow all of this aid. Are they able to use itproperly, supervised or unsupervised? AndI think the answer very often is no. The tro¬uble is the World Bank has so damn muchmoney . :. there's are too much money aliocated. I think it's bad to give money indiscriminately, not only without supervision,but also without a proper analysis of how acountry deals with what they're getting.Now in recent years, over the last twoyears, the Bank seems to be giving more tospecific projects in underdeveloped coun¬ tries — and l think that's better. Dams here,electrical projects of one kind or anotherthere, mostly technological assistance. Oroutright food assistance. I think that makesmore sense. The Bank seems to havelearned that you can't apply huge amountsof money to countries that can't use it prop¬erly.But l still think it has a long way to go.Most of the World Bank people I knowabroad are good economists, but I've seenvery few sociologists in the field, very fewpeople who are able to go into a country andexamine the conditions on the village level.What can these people do with this money?How are they going to use it? Are they goingto be brought into the development processthemselves? Are they going to have achance to select the kind of projects theywant to have? And I think there's a lot moreto be learned about the nature of the wholedevelopment process. I think the Bank isguilty on that score.In your chapter on Vietnam you write that,during the Vietnam War, while the Ameri¬can grossly misunderstood the Vietnamese,"the Vietnamese knew and understood evenless about the Americans." What are someof the misconceptions the Vietnamese, ormore generally, the peoples of SoutheastAsia, have about us today?They're mostly puzzled about us today.They didn't know what we were going to doafter Vietnam, and only now are we begin¬ning to come back into the area again. Ithink, first of all, that they had an exaggerated sense of what we could do. In Vietnam, for example, during the war, it was as¬sumed by virtually every third-forceopposition group that we could pull a coupanytime we wanted to, that we could put thisor that general in power. That wasn't true.There was only so much that the Americanscould do. Sure, we played a role in the overthrow of Diem. But we didn't actually domuch thereafter to move the wheels.Now this brings up another question,which I feel very strongly about, particular¬ly in Vietnam. Once you are involved in acountry as deeply militarily as we were — Iwas against putting 500,000 men into theplace — but once we were there, we shouldhave used our political leverage far morewisely than we did. We should have createda kind of political dialogue. We should nothave backed Thieu as strongly and up to theend as we did, which was a disaster.We should have pressed for reforms of thegovernment?Yes. Once you have a leverage, you shouldat least use it. You can't always do that, butit was certainly possible in Vietnam. Wewere there in such vast numbers. I think wedid miss a chance — that's why I called myearlier book The Lost Revolution. Even before we had that many men in Vietnam.But getting back to your question, the mis¬conceptions many Asian countries have a-about us is based largely on a miscomprehension of the nature of American power, orthe nature of the American political systemitself. Being authoritarian, they assumethat everybody has a certain clout. Our po¬litical clout on many of these countries,based on our own fickle, confused diplo¬macy and our divided lines of diplomacy,based upon power contests between variousestablishments and agencies, is somethingthey find hard to comprehend. They lookupon the United States as one vast entitythat can do almost anything it wants to do.That's seldom ture. One of the reasons theVietnam War was a failure was that you hadso many different government agencies in¬volved in it. So it's partly a miscomprehension of American power on their part.Now on our part, there's a miscomprehen¬sion of the composition of their political andeconomic systems. This was certainly truein Vietnam: we never really understood thenature of Vietnamese history, the Vietnam¬ese cultural idiosyncrasies, habits and customs. Very few Americans did. You gettossed out there into a vast war, and most ofthe kids out there understood very little, andeven most of the people with some comprehension of it came out after two year toursof duty, which was never enough to come togrips with it. Well, that was a war situation.In other countries . . . Korea and Japan, Iwould say, are the two places where Ameri¬cans have come and stayed longer and youhave had more of a continuum of personnel,so that we ended up with a far better comprehension of those countries than we did inSoutheast Asia. The Philippines being a posContinued on page 6the grey city journal—Friday, February 29, 1980—5The importance of being earnestCruising. Directed and written by WilliamFriedkin; based upon a novel by GeraldWalker; photographed by James Contner.With Al Pacino and Paul Sorvino.by Ted ShenI wrote off William Friedkin a long timeago. The only movie of his that I admire,however begrudgingly, is The French Con¬nection. Of his post Connection works, I for¬tunately caught only snippets of The Exor¬cist; I skipped The Brink's Job altogether;and, despite urgings by critics whose opin¬ions I respect, I did not want my memory ofThe Wage of Fear tarnished by the Friedkinremake, The Sorcerers. And, I suspect, if itweren't for the controversy and a newly-ac¬quired and self-imposed responsibility ofseeing all major releases, I would probablynot have bothered with Cruising.Cruising turned out to be a surprise. I ex¬pected the worst; but the film, as flawed andodious as it is, shows Friedkin movingtowards involvement with his film and itscharacters. It seems that had the people in¬volved with the project not been so con¬cerned with its commercial potential, thefilm could have been a very good detectivestory indeed.The film has Friedkin's personal stampall over it. Judging from his past works,Friedkin seems to be fascinated with theseedy underworld of criminals, pimps, drugaddicts and the like. Along with this fascina¬tion is a homophobic undercurrent—an am¬bivalent, confused, and sometimes hostileattitude towards men and friendship amongmen. Yet, Friedkin's films concern men—bethey gays in The Boys in the Band or detec¬tives in The French Connection. They arepeculiar men—isolated, lonely and incap¬able of loving each other, let alone women.The films play on the tensions—arising outof distrust and fear—among these men. The Al Pacino looks for his man in Cruising.tensions, however, seldom get resolved; andthe men never emerge from their cocoons.Consequently, a Friedkin film usually lookshazy, uncertain, inexact. A good one mustrely on spectacles to compensate for thedirector's lack of insight and involvement.That's why the chase scene in The FrenchConnection stands out while the rest of thefilm has faded. In Cruising, however, Fried¬kin tries, for the first time, to grapple withhis homophobia and does so by returning tothe seedy milieu—this time, the gay leatherunderworld.The story, by itself, has very little com¬mercial appeal. Most filmgoers would be toofrightened and alienated by the S & Mcrowd. Yet, Friedkin went to great length tomake sure his film be seen. He used his oldteam of expert technical advisors to lend au¬thenticity to the setting; he hired an experienced cinematographer to create the gritty look; and with Pacino playing the lead, hewas assured of extensive distribution. Thecontroversy over possible distortion of ho¬mosexual life, with its attendent media at¬tention, must also have been welcomed. Butall the commercial considerations, in theend, corrupted and defeated Friedkin's tryat earnest filmmaking. Even though the fin¬ished product hints at a directorial vision,it's still as vague and diffused as all pre¬vious Friedkins.The film opens with the latest in a series ofbrutal homosexual murders which has thepolice baffled. They deduce from the vic¬tims that the killer must be a denizen of thebar world populated by gays obsessed withviolent sexuality. The police captain (PaulSorvino) asks detective Burns (Al Pacino)to go undercover to track down the killer.Burns, at the outset, is introduced as anaverage cop with a girlfriend and no pre vious homosexual experiences. In order tomingle convincingly with the leather set, hehas to learn its lingo and customs. Hemoves into a room in the Village and startshanging out at leather bars. As he learnsmore about this world and its people, hisdoubt abdut his own sexuality mounts. Hisfeet are planted in two different worlds, andhis allegiance begins to shift. He questionsthe police harassment heaped upon gays, hesympathizes with their predicament, and heis attracted to the raw sexuality. When hecatches up with the killer, after stalking himat length, he has almost assumed an identitywith him. When they finally confront eachother, they are almost interchangeable. Pa¬cino emerges from the underground altered,and when his gay neighbor is slain, there areindications that he might have committedthe murder.Friedkin's direction, however, like Pa¬cino's sexuality, wavers throughout thefilm. He seems afraid to take a definitivestance, making Pacino's conversion com¬plete. There are visual innuendos, hinting atPacino's change. But nothing is ever madeclear. There are explicit references con¬necting the gays with the police, implyingthey are the same under their various cos¬tumes. But the connection is taken no fur¬ther. Everywhere in the film, there is evi¬dence suggesting that the originalconception — an earnest attempt at clearingup sexual confusion and fear — has beentampered with. What remains is an atmospheric study of a sexual milieu, a documen¬tary of a different way of living (coinciden¬tally, Friedkin was a documentaryfilmmaker before being lured to Hoilywood), a film without a convincing core.Still, I'll go to the next Friedkin film tofind out if the incipient earnesty is not afluke.Robert Shaplen continuesContinued from page 5sible exception, because of our own heritageand background there.But I think it's a mistake on both sides toassume that you are going to really comprehend each other as much as one would wish.Even dealing with friends, let alone with adversaries. Take Thailand today, for example. The Thais are probably the hardest p,eopie to get to know in Southeast Asia, becauseof the way the Thais are. Maybe it's becausethey were never colonized. But they're independent. They have an almost defense |mechanistic sense about not naving been co- jIonized. And as a result they're hard to get ito know and to deal with. There we playstrange games with each other, mostly military, mostly crisis-based, such as in thepresent refugee situation. But we don'tcome to grips with others. Basic problems ofdiffering cultural habits and forms, and soon, keep us apart.We also don't take advantage of the bestpeople we have in many of these countries —not the government people, but the non gov¬ernment people. I know people in Thailand,Indonesia, the Philippines, Americanswho've lived there for many years and real¬ly know a great deal about those countries.But they're seldom called upon for advice.Except when a crisis comes up, like "Korea-gate" or something; then academics comeout of the woodwork and testify. We don'tcall enough upon our vast reservoir ofknowledge.A last question. You write in your book thatAsia, and particularly China, will be of in¬creasingly critical importance to both U.S.security and world peace in the yearsahead. You also, in another part of the book,lament the fact that U.S. foreign policy in¬terests are currently "for the most part con¬centrated on Europe, the Middle East, andAfrica." I think that as we head into the1980's we've turned a little bit away fromAfrica. But events which have transpiredsince your book was completed — the alliedplans to strengthen NATO, the agreementon nuclear weapons in Western Europe, theIranian and Afghanistan crises, the PersianGulf security-centered "Carter Doctrine"... all this has, of course, made the relativeneglect of East and Southeast Asia evenmore pronounced in U.S. foreign policy.Yes, but I think we're coming back there.Partly because of the Cambodian situation, we're taking a greater interest in ASEAN(The Association of Southeast Asian Na¬tions) today, have begun a dialogue withASEAN, have helped promote a closer dialogue between ASEAN and Japan and between ASEAN and the European communi¬ty. One of the effects of the Vietnameseinvasion of Cambodia, the whole new Vietnam threat today, has been to draw ASEANtogether more politically than it ever wasbefore. That's a plus. I have certain reservations about whether they should cooperate militarily, about how successful thatwould be, but I think that our reentry intothe Southeast Asian scene, which has beenbased largely on humanitarian considerations, has been a healthy sign. I think it took| us too long to get back in there. At the end ofj the war, those countries were dismayed atour retreat. And it's only been in the Ias1year or two that we've begun to show somefresh interest in their welfare. For example,aid programs are increasing. It is true thatour main interests — you can't be everywhere — today are the Middle East PersianGulf, and continuing of course, in Europeand Northeast Asia. But I think we're showing signs of maintaining what I feel is still avital concern with Southeast Asia.I think what we still lack is a comprehen¬sion of the workings of nationalism, even ifit does go authoritarian sometimes. And thiswas evident, for example, in Africa. It tookus a long time to come around to acceptingthe Patriotic Front in Rhodesia as a bodythat had to be paid attention to. We tendedfar too long to dismiss it as a Communistfront rather than as a bona fide nationalistgroup. So I think we still tend to make ourdecisions in post-World War 11 framework, aCold War framework, if you will. If you lookat my earlier book, The Lost Revolution, Ihave a chapter in there called "The UntriedGamble with Ho Chi Minh." What I felt, andI still believe this, is that there are nation¬alist elements we should try to come toterms with before the situations get out ofhand. I think Ho Chi Minh could have been"pre-Tito-fied", for example. If we haddealt sooner with people like Nkomo endMugabe, even if they do get help from Mo¬scow or Peking, it would have made sense.It pays to get in there earlier rather than be¬latedly. I think we're still facing that prob¬lem in dealing with opposition elements allover the world, including Southeast Asia. Semi-Precious PaxtonUp & UpTom PaxtonMountain Railroad Recordsby Rebecca LillianJudging by a recent Earl of Old Town per¬formance, Tom Paxton is definitely on theup and up. (When was he ever down andout?) Paxton's career as a singer songwrit¬er has sparkled with marvelous folksongs,j many of which have become classics."Ramblin Boy,'' "Bottle of Wine," and"The Last Thing On My Mind" are only afew of the many gems he has authored.That is why this, his sixteenth album, is sodisappointing. It is not a bad album. Severalof its songs are quite good, and at least two| qualify as great. But Up & Up contains toomany mediocre songs, and one that is inex¬cusably horrible. The album simply doesn'tshine with Paxton's true talent."Outlaw" is a duet, co written and sungwith fellow folkie and producer of Up & Up,Bob Gibson. With laughable lyrics and ahummable tune, "Outlaw" pokes at folkand country-music's usual heroes:You must be an outlaw;A Ramblin' man and a gamblin man,of course.Singin' all them outlaw songs'Bout whiskey, wine and women anddivorce.You look like you could kill a man,And never know the meaning of re¬morse.But if you're such an outlaw, such adesperado,How come you keep failin' off yourhorse?Unfortunately, Paxton doesn't use thesame deftness with word and melody in theserious songs. Up & Up marks his return totopical songs of protest, yet the two suchsongs on the album lack the gentle but bitingsubtlety that he used to exhibit. "Feed theChildren" is a dirge-like song with stupid,screeching lyrics. The sensitive subjectbegs for the poetic simplicity of Paxton'secology plea, "Whose Garden Was This?"Instead, Paxton uses surprisingly tediouswords and grating music."Let the Sunshine" easily lends itself to asing along, a plus for any political song. Thehopeful chorus is a mechanically explicit de ml Mmscription of our energy future:Let the sunshine, heat up the waterLet all the water turn into steamLet the steam drive all the genera¬tors,Keepin' all the engines hummin' like adream.The rest of the song is a little more compli¬cated and a little less objective. Paxtonproves that he is at his best doing personalmemoir-type songs (like "My FavoriteSpring," one of the album's great songs)rather than blatant political ones.But few of the personal songs on Up & Upapproach this potential. "Has Annie Been inTonight" is a lovely addition to what is nowa trilogy of "Annie" songs. Still, it does notmeasure up to "Annie's Gonna Sing HerSong," the first of the trilogy. "Home to Me(is Anywhere You Are)" has a hauntingchorus, but without the lilting ease of hisother melancholy love songs.Up & Up goes on and on with disappoint¬ments like these. Many of its songs soundlike forgettable filler that an artist wouldonly use in a pinch. Paxton certainly neverhad to resort to them in his concerts or earli¬er albums. Hopefully, he will return to thegem like quality of which he is capable. Inthe meantime, I'll treasure only the spar¬kling half of Up & Up.6—the grey city journal—Friday, February 29, 1980»• (j‘A ' f *, Ij , ' f ' . I ■ voUpwardly Mobile White Trashby Jeffrey MakosThe dust jacket of Michael Wolfe'sWhite Kids (Summit Books, $8.95) tells usthat inside the book is "a generationrevealed, 1970-1979," that "in thisextraordinary portrait of a generation,we understand in an altogether new waywhat it means to be free, white, and 21,"and later, that the subjects of the book"are all nice people who will break yourheart, and through them we understandwhat it is to be white in white America."Interesting at first glance, but don't befooled: White Kids is about what itmeans to be free, white - and MichaelWolfe.Wolfe's stories are simple. He returnshome for the funeral of high school friendAngel (one of Patty Hearst'skidnappers), travels to San Francisco toexplore a murder involving a richbrother and sister, profiles a young NewYork actor, meets a young Michigancouple on their honeymoon in Florida,and interviews a young Army lieutenant.Each story could serve as an example ofa Seventies trend: the end of the Sixties'revolutionary fervor, the remains of theSixties' drug culture, the growth of"narcissism" in pop culture, the growthof "narcissism" in mass culture, theremains of the post-Vietnam military.These are Wolfe's natural themes, but heavoids all of them.Instead, Wolfe pushes himself to theforefront, using these events to develop apersona that is straight out of RaymondChandler's The Big Sleep. He wants topresent himself as the archetypaloutsider to whom everyone immediatelybecomes attached - cigarette danglingfrom his lips, terse to the point ofmonosyllabic incoherence, taking longdrives in fast cars down empty highways,preferably at night. The stories border onfiction in a way that has nothing to dowith similar attempts by NewJournalists. Wolfe is less concerned withusing literary techniques in the service ofjournalism than he is with usingjournalism in the service of what soonbecomes "The Michael Wolfe Story."So in the chapter ostensibly aboutAngel, we find out that the author prefersto live alone near Columbia University,and that everyone he interviews seems tobe more concerned with finding out aboutWolfe's life than with talking about Angel's death. And so it goes in eachstory: Wolfe investigates the Californiamurder, but spends most of his timegetting involved with and free fromvarious women he meets. He describesthe beautiful, self-absorbed, and listlessactor named Brandon, while continuallyreminding us of his own day-to-day worklife and his ability to make aconsiderable amount of money byworking hard overtime hours. Wolfe findshimself surrounded by hordes of co edson their Easter break in Daytona Beach,but spends much of his time describinghow well he got on with the bartender inthe hotel bar that the students rarelyfrequent. He interviews the lieutenant butspends most of his time using him as afoil through which to explore his ownfantasies about what life is like in theArmy. The book tells us nothing of whatit means to be anything, in any year,except what it means to be Wolfe,exploring America alone and discoveringhimself.The real problem is that Wolfe nevermanages to pull off the hard-boiledpersona. It might have been a beautifuland outrageous effort: a depiction of aBogart-like character slumming throughthe remains of the cultural explosion ofthe Seventies, a latter day PhilipMarlowe investigating extreme cases ofdecadence and depravity yet maintainingNew Directions 39, An AnthologyEdited by J. Laughlin, with PeterGlassgold and Frederick R. MartinNew Directions Booksby Lucy ConniffNew Directions 39, this year's offeringin a long-established series, is aninteresting if not alwaysthought-provoking collection to read. Itincludes a wide variety of material: amini anthology of new African poetry,tributes to teacher and poet LouisZukofsky (1904 1978), three selections ofprose, including fiction and a memoir,and many poems by both American andforeign poets. However, one is more apt an aloofness and a sense of dignity amidthe madness. Wolfe's efforts only producedialogues between himself and everyoneelse that end up reading like the scriptfrom a bad film noir:We were compatable for amoment but then she changed all ofa sudden and fished through herpockets for her own cigarettes."What gives you the right to sitin judgment?" she asked. It washard for her and she swallowed."I don't sit in judgment.""You get to tell the story, so youjudge.""In a way.""So why should that be?""I don't know.""You should."I shrugged."You don't even care.""I care."Of course, Wolfe later implies that heand the woman mess around for a whilebefore her neurotic boyfriend shows upstandard B movie fare and enjoyable assuch. But with the persona never fuflydeveloped, we can never take itseriously. White Kids never becomesanything more than a vaguely egotisticalaccount of what Michael Wolfe happenedto see along the way over the past fewyears. We never even get a close look atto be struck by the diverse geographicbackgrounds of the authors than by theircreative efforts.Not so wrth "Self-Portrait," by WalterAbish, which organizes and describes thepast of a young man through the use ofsuch words as "or," "no," "I," and"she" — to name only a few. Abishskillfully combines both the powerfulimages of his own youthful experiences inwartime Shanghai and Tel-Aviv in theearly '50s with, for example, observationsabout the photography of HenriCartier Bresson.The two short stories in the anthology,both involving the relationship between the people he meets because Wolfe ismore concerned with describing how hefeels about them than actually describingthem. We never see people acting, theymerely react to the presence of MichaelWolfe.If anything, this approach is a perfectexample of the self absorbed pretensionthat has become one of the clichedremnants from the Seventies, but thismay be too harsh a judgment. White Kidscan be seen as a fairly unassumingaccount of some white kids that Wolfehas know, and nothing more. In theseterms, it's enjoyable, and in places evenfun. Still, the book is a mere suggestionof what the dust jacket advertises, andSummit Books is doing the consumer(and Wolfe) a disservice by passing off afairly likeable throwaway as a weightyI document. If Summit and Wolfe are; attempting a con, then they are a moreperfect example of the cynical Seventiesthan anyone could have imagined.Even with the benefit of the doubt,Wolfe somehow manages to have all theright intentions yet go nowhere withthem, and this is the real disappointmentof White Kids. Wolfe suggests aninteresting way of presenting and dealingwith the Seventies, and then does nothingwith it, leaving the reader to wonder atwhat might have been. Just like theSeventies, l guess.identical twins, differ in theircharacterizations and effects. "In theMind's Eye," by Joe Ashby Porter,concerns two identical twins who thinkand act as one person, Victor. It appearsthat both Victors are narrating their livesin one voice. It's an improbable twist ofplot developed convincingly by theauthor, as the two Victors, in unison, gooff to Harvard, and complications set in.On the other hand, Christine L.Hewitt's "Twins" is less engrossing; theplot is uninspired and the charactersseem contrived. Identical twin sisterslive together; their parents die, one twingets married; the other repeatedlyattempts suicide. In the end, one istempted to ask "Who cares?" when thesuicidal girl succeeds in killing herself.Both characters seem too unreal; theyare more like strange aberrations thanthe human Victors of the Porter story.Turning to the anthology's poetry, onefinds a much wider range to choose from.If the African poets don’t suit, there isalways the poetry of Carlos Drummondde Andrade, Ivan Goll, Gregory Corsoand others. But actually, the Africanpoetry is strong and spare, and allowsone an unusual perspective intocontemporary African problems. Corso's"Feelings on Growing Old," bycomparison, seems self-indulgent. He isso concerned with the physical aspects ofaging that little else seems important tohim.In "The Chaplinaid," by Ivan Goll, and"Song For That Man of the People, -Charlie Chaplin," by Carlos Drummondde Andrade, Charlie Chaplin isrepresented as both a character and anidol Goll's film poem presents scenes ofChaplin pursuing and being pursued byothers. However, de Andrade attempts todefine the place of Chaplin in terms of hiscreative growth and in terms of theimagination of the Brazilian people, towhom Chaplin symbolized basic humandignity and independence.These are only highlights of ND 39. Theanthology, as a whole, is worth reading,as relief from established classics. Someof the experiments work, others don't —but it is always intriguing to survey theattempts.Debut of a Party-HopperLooking for Workby Susan CheeverSimon and Schusterby Faye Isserow LandesFirst novels are often hampered bytheir authors' inability to write their wayout of their problems, both literary andpersonal. Looking for Work, SusanCheever's slick and polished first novel,fails because Cheever is incapable ofsuggesting any real problems of any sort.While Salley Gardens, the book'sprotagonist, wallows in self pity, oursympathy is never aroused. And whileLooking for Work pretends to be the storyof a search for happiness and fulfillment,its slick style lacks the tension and depthof honest self searching.Salley, the daughter of a ColumbiaEnglish professor and the wife of a risingyoung editor, is a rather lacklusterpost Vietnam, post Civil Rights feminist.She wanders from country to country,from city to city and, mostly, from partyto party, ostensibly looking for workwhenever she finds time off from play.But why is Salley so upset? Why can'tshe get out of bed in the morning? Thetriteness of her problems is oftenlaughable. She becomes depressedwhenever none of her three or fourhandsome, rich and adoring lovers is in town. Her other main source of distressis that after graduating from college witha C average and partying for five years,she can't find the lucrative, prestigiousjob in journalism that she wants.Salley spends most of her time in NewYork, which is the New York of WoodyAllen's "Manhattan." Everyone liveswithin the same ten blocks on the UpperEast Side, and everyone does somethingvaguely literary. And, of course,everyone knows each other:Once we went to a party at theSoviet Mission on EastSixty seventh Street for the poetYevtushenko. Leonard Bersteinwas there and the Arthur Millersand my parents and there werelobster and ice cream set out onplywood tables covered with greencloth in what looked like a highschool classroom."But I had no idea you would beso beautiful," said Yevtushenkowhen we shook hands, pulling metoward him for a Russian bear hug.What exactly are Leonard Bernstein,Arthur Miller and John Updike, RalphEllison, Calvin Tomkins etc. ad nauseumdoing in Looking for Work — besidessipping martinis? These celebrities areas insipid as Salley herself, and do nothing to give substance to the book.One wonders whether Cheever would beaccused of name dropping andpretentiousness were she not thedaughter of John Cheever.Even if New York literary life is astrite as Salley's world — although it's! hard to believe that Updike et. ai. are! quite that superficial— so what? Whyj does Cheever feel compelled to reinforcethe notion that everything that happensI in New York is worth recording? WhyI turn all this fluff into a novel?Sailey's solution to the woes of herjet setting existence is perhaps the key toi the book's stylistic problems. After a fewinterviews she effortlessly lands a job atNewsweek, thereby alleviating herloneliness as well as her unemployment.Susan Cheever herself spent a number ofyears working for Newsweek, and herexperience churning out stories for the"Lifestyle" section is evident in theslickness of Looking for Work. WhileLooking for Work is often funny —particularly when it describes Salley'shigh school and college years — andmarked with a bittersweet cynicismi reminiscent of Nora Ephron, it is difficultto distinguish this novel of personal crisis1 and self discovery from a Newsweekpiece on hot pants or wife swapping.New Directions Spells ReliefUnassigned Readings and Other Guilty Pleasures Compiled by Richard Kaye, Molly McQuade, and the Chicago Literary Review.the grey city journal—Friday, February 29, 1980—7Standing face to face with the Trouble Boys• by Renee SarackiU of C's newest hitmakers, The TroubleBoys, have just completed their first tour.They played at Northwestern and at the Ga¬zebo, a northside rock club, before returningto play the Psi U party two weeks ago. Toacknowledge this momentous first and toplease all the girls out there who have beenbegging to know more about their newheroes, I have decided to interview thesefive fave raves about their own personallikes and dislikes. Are you the kind of girlour boys will like? Well, if you aren't, thenthis little look into their lives should help youto become just what they want. You'll soonfind out that the only trouble these boyscause is in the thoughts of young girls, likeyou and me.Due to an over-extended promo tour, gui¬tarist Mike Haederle was unfortunately absent from our little chat. Therefore only fourof these bad boys will be looked at this time.For all the girls out there who go wild fordrummers, I present Mark Erwin. Mark's anice, clean-cut young man who speaks in asweet and seductive drawl. But don't let thatfool you 'coz Mark's got his mischievousside too. Mark's the sort of boy your momwould rave about, but so would your friends.A real winner!Larry Cohen, the group's bassist, has thatlost, shaggy dog look about him that girlsjust love. His public attitude is arrogant andcocky, but that's just a cover for a mischie¬vous young man who likes to shock peoplewho take him too seriously. So don't, unlessyou want to be like one of the girls thatLarry sings about in his latest hit, "PrettyGirls":You walk so stiff, you just had yourhair done.One day you're gonna look down atyour shirt and wonder where it'sgone.Guitarist Bart Goldberg represents thedark, often mysterious element in thegroup. With his dark and secretive eyes,Bart is the dangerous member. His careful¬ly calculated Keith Richard style and his un¬limited love for Chuck Berry combine toproduce a handsome, dark, and dedicatedyoung rock 'n' roller.Guitarist Donnie Hedeker had a sweet,kinda shy way about him; but when he'splaying, watch out, because then he can't becontrolled. When Donnie goes wild during asong, anything can happen. Yeah, I knowthat Donnie's really into this weird punkstuff, but gee, some of it can be real neat andfun. I especially point to Donnie's sometimerole model, Johnny Thunders: now there's afun guy. If you really want to please Donnie,just tell him that the Heartbreaker's origi¬nal version of "Chinese Rocks" is the bestand that the Ramones's version is a cheaprip off.Well, that's the juicy truth about the livesof our four super heroes. Check out the accompanying facts (yes mam, strictly thefacts) and super pics. If seeing and readingabout them in print isn't enough for all youlittle queenies, then I strongly suggest thatyou check them out live. Tonight they will beat Shepards Hall, Northwestern University;Monday and Tuesday you can catch them atHuey's on Sheridan by Loyola University.Hope to see all you beat babies and krazykats there.

Fun loving yetserious girls who like the beach,rock 'n' roll, and me.Return of an expatriateby Curtis BlackHenry Threadgill is recognized as one ofthe most original and powerful saxophonevoices in jazz. His trio AIR has emerged asthe foremost improvisatory ensemble of theday. Such success is sweeter in New Yorkand Europe, and Chicago appearances byThreadgill have become a rare treat.But like many of Chicago's expatriate musicians, Threadgill loyally returns for home¬town appearances, for smaller if more loving audiences. He used the opportunity of aconcert two weekends ago at the Progres¬sive Arts Center to showcase two rising tal¬ents: Douglas Ewart and Hank Drake.Threadgill's fellow multi reedist Ewart iswell on his way to recognition, having beenfeatured on several albums last year.Drake is a very strong new talent on drums. He has been active in Chicago sincethe mid-seventies, when he was part of anamazing group, led by Fred Anderson, andincluding Ewart and George Lewis, whowere both just coming to prominence in Chicago.More recently, Drake has toured Europewith Don Cherry, continued an ongoing partnership with Ewart, and has been an integral member of the Mandingo Griot Society,an international group led by a West Africantribal musician.There were moments during the concertwhen Threadgill seemed to be challengingDrake to push beyond his limits, but moremoments when Drake participated as anequal in the exchange and seemed to inspireThreadgill.On one piece Drake provided a gently rol8—the grey city journal—Friday, February 29, 1980 licking martial beat which glowed into aloose swing as Threadgill on alto and Ewarton bassoon fully explored a three note motif.Drake works with the tones of the drums: hecreated a very musical swirl behind a quiettune which had tinges of ragtime and an Ornette Coleman feel.Drake came close to sounding like SteveMcCall (Threadgill's partner in AIR, whohas set a standard for contemporary drum¬mers) in a burning, intense exchange withboth reedists on alto. Ewart here soundedmuch like Threadgill with his trademark ofbiting attack, sharp articulation, and full bodied sound.Ewart sounds quite different than he did afew years ago, when his soaring flights ofscalar constructions seemed to place him inthe tradition of Eric Dolphy. The difference is most striking on bassoon —it is perhaps amore deliberate approach, with a morefragmented melodic and rhythmic flow.Threadgill has reached a plateau of crea¬tivity where he is no longer reaching for newmodes of expression so much as plumbingthe depths of his mastery. His creativity hasreached another level.The concert further resembled the work ofAl R in its lack of "solos"—featuring insteada constant interplay, shifting effortlessly between written, rehearsed sections and groupimprovisation.A concert this Sunday and next by Ed¬ward Wilkerson, reedist with the EthnicHeritage Ensemble, is to be recommended.Wilkerson's brilliant and biting lyricism canbe heard at another very nice performingspace, Osun Center for the Arts, 2541 E. 75thStreet, with shows at 4 and 7 p m.BankingAsst.

Ellis Ave753-3303Mastercharge and Visa AcceptedThe Chicago Maroon—Friday, February 29, 1980—15Firemenunions hoped that this would give the cityadequate protection, while at the same timeforcing the city to negotiate. But Byrne re¬jected that offer, and has been very difficultsin~e then. She refused to even talk to theunion for nine of the first 12 days of thestrike, and when she did talk, she wouldn’tlet her lawyers do anything. The union wentback to work for one day last week — Thurs¬day — but they went back out when their 24-hour contract deadline was not met.“We had every intention of going back theother day,” said one picketer, “but the cityhad other intentions.”The strikers have mixed feelings towardsthose who are working, but overall, they areangry with them. “Some (of those working)have moral feelings against striking,” saidone striker. “But most are tied into the pa¬tronage system, and they want to stay inthat system, and receive promotions. Youdo feel stabbed in the back in some ways, ifall of us walked, the city would have to moveto end this thing.”The police who are working in this areahave also been sympathetic, according tothe strikers. “The police know that what weget, they’ll be able to get the same. We’refighting for the whole city now, and the ma¬jority of the police are sympathetic. Therehas been some harassment at differenthouses between fire and police, but notWoodward Ct.Continued from Page 1The Wirszups also stress that it is not onlyan effort for, but also and primarily an ef¬fort by the students. “It would not be poss¬ible without their enthusiasm. They run theshow.” Many hours of work go into physicalpreparation alone for each lecture and thereception which follows it. Student volun¬teers transform the dining hall into a lectureroom, receive guests and serve the food.University faculty have time and againspoken very highly of the Wirszup s efforts.Staunch support has also come from the ad¬ministration. In May of 1978, when it cametime for the Wirszups to decide whether ornot to stay on as Resident Masters of W ood¬ward Court, then President John Wilsonprodded them with a two-sentence letter:“Now that you are an institution in the lifeof the University you can’t even think of notcontinuing. It would be like tearing downRockefeller Chapel.”Both Izaak and Pera Wirszup were bornand raised in the Eastern European city ofVilna. (now the capital of Lithuania). IzaakWirszup graduated from the University ofVilna. No sooner had he begun his careerthan his life was disrupted by World War IIand the Nazi persecutions of Jews in East¬ern Europe. After the war the Wirszupslived in Paris for three years, until 1949,when Izaak Wirszup, then the director ofstatistical research for a large marketingchain, accepted an offer from the Universityof Chicago to come to America and teachmathematics.In addition to his teaching duties as pro¬fessor of mathematics. Wirszup is also keptbusy as the director of two projects fundedby the National Science Foundation: theSurvey of Recent East European Mathe¬matical Literature and the Program on So¬viet Works in Application of Computers toManagement. His most recent report toNSF on developments in mathematics andscience education in the Soviet Union washighly praised by government officials inWashington and by university scholars.Wirszup has also served as a consultant forthe Ford Foundation in Colombia and inPeru; as a member of the African Mathe¬matics Program; and as a consultant andlecturer in India. He is world-known for hiswork on international mathematics educa¬tion. Pera Wirszup as manager of Peck andPeck, a Chicago women’s department store,for many years.

The tournament was won by Cornell bya 1*4 point margin over Coe.“I was really pleased by our perfor¬mance,” commented head coach LeoKocher. ‘‘The team has really improvedsince the beginning of the season. This yearwe gave the best showing ever by a Chicagoteam in a conference tourney.” One yearago, Bob Michel (this year’s team captain)was the only Chicago wrestler to score asRecruitingChicago styleBy Jeff Davitz the Maroons finished tenth of ten teams witha total of 2>/4 points. Last weekend sixMaroons scored as Chicago finished withthree fourth places, one third place, and 18points.Michel, a senior, ended a sparkling fouryear career for the Maroons by takingfourth again in a very tough 134-lb. weightclass, despite pinning two of his opponents.‘‘Bob performed very well last weekend,”mused Kocher. ‘‘He displayed leadership inthe tournament in the same way he has allyear. A wrestler of his caliber can only bemissed.”Freshman Mark Farwell provided theMaroons with their highest individual finish,despite losing in his first round. Showing hisfine conditioning and great desire, Farwellwrestled back to grab third place, defeatingthe third and fourth seeds along the way. conferenceChicago’s other fourth place was capturedby 142-lb. Steve Rubin. Like Michel, Rubinfinished his college career with a solidoverall performance.Coming into the tournament with a 1-12season record, freshman Mac Gillespie puteverything together to nearly take anotherplace for the Maroons. Gillespie’s finish,however, was marred, as a disappointingcall by a referee cost him third place. Lead¬ing by one point with only seconds remain¬ing in the last period, the referee awardedGillespie’s opponent a very questionableescape. Gillespie then lost in the resultingovertime.Mirroring junior Rob Ferguson’s first col¬lege victory two weeks ago, 115-lber MikeKotin also picked up his first win as amaroon with a 14-13 victory that gave life tothe team. Men’s trackconf. meethere tonightThe Midwest Conference Indoor TrackChampionships will be hosted by the Uni¬versity of Chicago tomorrow at the FieldHouse at 11:00 a m.Carleton, along with the host Maroons,have been tabbed as the pre-meet favorite.The Carls may have as many as three de¬fending champions returning for thisyear’s meet; Dan Abrams in the 60 yarddash and Bob Pappas in the two mile runare expected to compete while DaveWaltz, last year’s mile champion, has anankle injury and may not compete.At least three other defending champi¬ons will return. They are Taggart Siegel ofBeloit in the pole vault, Larry Ide of Knoxin the high jump and Ken Urbanski ofLawrence in the shot put.Mike Axinn will lead a strong group ofChicago runners in their attempts to takethe conference championship.SportsOpen mile tomorrowTrack-women continue undefeatedAccording to Jeff Metcalf, University ofChicago Director of Athletics, prospectivestudents visit the University of Chicago ex¬pecting a ‘‘howling slum.” After arriving,he says, they are typically “openedmouthed and goggle eyed.” This may besomewhat of an exaggeration, nevertheless,this year’s varsity weekend which ran fromFebruary 7 to February 9 seems to havemade some progress towards improving theimage of the University.The varsity weekend is an annual affair inwhich prospective student-athletes are in¬vited to campus. They live with student-athletes here and participate in a number ofactivities in order to get a first hand look atthe social, academic and athletic life at theUniversity.Sixty student-athletes, including 36 menand 24 women, took advantage of this year’sinvitations. Byron Trott, a student-athletein the college and one of the principal organ¬izers, said that this is the largest group toparticipate in the varsity weekend for anumber of years. Trott is very enthusiaticabout the success of the weekend and is con¬fident that a lot of opinions were changed.Trott agrees with Metcalf that the Univer¬sity suffers from a bad reputation amongprospective students. According to Trott,many of the prospective student-athletescame here expecting either no social life orno athletics. It is important, he feels, thatthe University go out of its way to make con¬tact with prospective students. “We miss alot of kids who think this place is a rat hole,” By Sarah BurkeThe University of Chicago women’s trackteam remains undefeated after a command¬ing triumph over five other area collegeslast Saturday at the field house. This was ameet where the Maroons finally faced somecompetition in the form of Lake MichiganCollege, a Division One power, who broughtalong a large squad of 30 plus runners. Chi¬cago rose to their challenge as they ran past LMC, 101 to 95. The other participatingschools, Eureka, North Central, Loyola andIllinois Benedictine, all had one or twostandouts yet the Maroons’ depth proved tobe overwhelming.The meet was not only fruitful for theteam, but many individuals also set team aswell as personal records. Vicki Powers, dis¬playing great stamina despite a bout withthe flu, bested the school record with a 9.9 inthe 60 meter hurdles capturing third placeoverall. This set the Maroons rolling as Cindi Sandborn jogging at an admittedlyslow pace due to a shin injury, pulled awayfrom Vogel of Eureka in the last lap to set anew school record of 19:30.3 for the 5000meter run. Sue Cornelius of Chicago placedthird to round out the scoring in that event.The records for the Maroons did not endthere, though, in only her first day as amember of the team, Christie Nordhielmblazed to a record in the 3000 meter run, fin¬ishing in a time of 11:01.5. Becky Redmanplaced second, coming across the line in11:29.3 while Wendy Shanahan and CaseyKerrigan added points to the Chicago effortfinishing fourth and fifth respectively. Laterin an exciting 800 meter dash, Kathy Restifooutkicked Root of LMC in the last straight¬away to break her own record of 2:30.5 witha new clocking of 2:28.2. Restifo was alsocrucial to the record setting 4X400 relayteam. That race clinched the meet for theMaroons as they ran away with first place in4:28.1, leaving Loyola a distant second, sixseconds off the winning time. The team ef¬fort by Carol Petersen. Hope Sirull, Restifoand Powers typifies the overall teamworkwhich has sparked Chicago to an undefeatedrecord.The 400 meter dash was one of the mostexciting races of the evening as Powersstaged a dramatic comeback to finish third,beating state champion, Sandy Socha. in thelast 10 meters. She also tied the school re¬cord with a 63.0 clocking. Cheryl Lisy ofNorth Central again took out a fast paced1500 and kept it up to win by a comfortablemargin. Kerrigan of the Maroons kept pacefor five laps but then fell back, finishingthird. Sarah Burke closed out Chicago'sscoring by placing fifth.The field events showed the strengths andweaknesses of this years squad, as UCplaced high in both the long and high jumpsbut were shut out in the shot put. IBC, Eure¬ka, and LMC all had people putting over 31feet with Chicago’s throws being well underthat mark. The long jump proved anotherc*ory as Redman with a jump of 4.96 metersplaced second while Nancy Flores (in aP R.) garnered fourth which enabled U.C. topick up 12 important points. Redman wentout at 4TO” to grab fourth place in the highjump. Karen Jensen was fifth and GingerMcDonald was seventh in the event.The indoor season is now winding downfor the Maroons. It now looks as if this teamwill have a strong shot at the Illinois StateChampionship in May, barring any majorinjuries. The focus of the team however, isnot on State yet. as an all important meet ison tap for this Friday night. Grinnell Collegeand Illinois Benedictine will provide thecompetition, starting at 7 p.m. in the fieldhouse.In conjunction with the upcoming meet,an open coed mile will be run at 8:45.

Picked to finish sixth, theycame on to capture the gold medal, rally¬ing many times in the third period to comefrom behind. This was almost an exactreplica of the 1960 Squaw Valley Gameswhere another young American team beatthe Russians and then went on to win theGold Medal. This time, in 1980, at theheight of new international tension, theAmericans, in a climactic showdown of notonly hockey teams but idealogies, fell be¬hind, but came back to beat the more expe¬rienced Soviet team, a team that had bea¬ten them 10-3 less than two weeks before.After the game ended, President Cartercalled to invite the team to the WhiteHouse, an invitation which they could notaccept until after the game with FinlandAfter that game, a 4-2 victory for the gold,President Carter, a man wrho would neverthink of prostituting himself to the Ameri¬can public for a vote, called again. Thistime Coach Fred Books, in an emotional statement, praised the American way oflife, noting how our system supposedlyworks better,, and how we should continueour w'ay of life. America’s Team, repre¬senting the American w ay of life?It looked like a hockey game.Oh sure it was great to win, especiallyover our arch rivals, the Russians. Grant¬ed, relations between our two countriesare not presently warm. There werestories from the Olympic Village of howunsociable the Russians were, never beingseen at meals or anywhere else. Totallyagainst the Olympic spirit of harmony andfriendship. Certainly, the win came at atime when the American morale needed aboost, but what does it really prove?It proves that the American hockeyteam was better than their opponents for a12 day spell in February, 1980, on theirhome ice with an emotional outpouringfrom their supporters leading them on.Their achievement should be savored asother similarly rare sports events havebeen. Notre Dame won an important bas¬ketball game this week but they did notclaim that their educational philosophywas any better than their opponents'. Whatever happened to the separation ofpolitics and sports? As inextricably linkedas they are. let us at least be consistent onour stance, not calling for less politicswhen we would look bad. and more politicswhen we look good. As to President Carter,perhaps instead of trying to become ournext president, he should become the ne^tChairman of the United States OlympicCommittee, or even the InternationalCommittee. After all. he has done more toaffect the outcome of the Olympics thananyone else. But he has a right to do so; hedoes jog, right? One would think the Presi¬dent might have better things to do thanentertain athletes at the White House. It’sa very nice gesture, and it’s nice to see ourathletes get the recognition they deserve,but we don’t pay Carter to be the host withthe most. Anything for a vote, rightJimmy? Maybe the Ayotollah needs hisbedpan changed?The 1980 Winter Olympic Games areover Let them be remembered as thegames in which Eric Heiden won five goldmedals, and a young American hockeyteam surprised the world by winning thegold medal.The Chicago Maroon—Friday, February 29, 1980—17IM basketball standingsincludes some games played Wednesday, February 27Graduate White LeagueUranus and the 7 Moons 9 1Willis Reed 9 2Dartos Rises Again 8 3Frottage 8 3Med II 7 4My Last Chance 7 4Plato’s Exemplars 6 5Dead Popes 4 7Laughlin 4 7Scruffulo Botems 2 9Eat My Torts 1 10Estoppel-Assumpsit 0 10Graduate Red LeagueMr. Bill Show 10 1Albanian Refugees 10 lSnow Bears 0 1Controlled Substance 7 *1White Leppers 7 4Divinity School 7 4 Six Packers 6 5Manic Defensive 4 7Naussau Senior 2 8Never Too Late 2 8Abbott Sisters 1 10God Squad 1 10BlueCommuter Magic 12 0Lower Rickert 9 3UpperRickert . 8 4Shorey House 6 5Dudley B 4 7Hale 2 10Blackstone 0 12Undergraduate Independent LeaguesWhiteThe Coho’s 9 0 Return of Zero the Hero • 8 2Losers 5 5Grand Illusions • 4 6Hihowdoyado II 3 6RedThe Champs 11 1Dred Scott’s Revenge 10 1U.F.

Frottage became the Grad leaguegiant-killer by knocking off two highly ratedteams, Uranus and the 7 Moons and WillisReed in just two days. The big upset was a41-26 victory over the formerly /H-rankedUranus, who came into the game with a 9-0record, tops in the Grad league. Playingwithout 6’9” center Bob Slaughter andguard Tom Dulcich, Uranus did not appearto be the team they had been all season.Frottage led at the half by an impressive19-8 count. The closest Uranus could come toFrottage in the second half was 7 points,trailing 31-24 with 11 minutes remaining.Frottage ran off 7 unanswered points late inthe game and went on to win a convincing41-26 victory. The night before they had out¬lasted the then 7th rated team, Willis Reed,by a score of 32-31. Reed led at the half 19-18,and with 15 seconds remaining led 31-30, buta twenty-foot jumper by Rick Peters with 6seconds left won it for Frottage, 32-31.In the Undergraduate League, TheChamps and Dred Scott’s Revenge, the twohighest rated undergrad teams faced eachother two nights in a row. The Champs, ledby Byron Trott and Pete Karabas had thingstheir way on Tuesday night, coming out forthe second half with a 13-12 lead and outscor-ing Dred Scott’s 17-4 to extend it to a 30-16advantage. The Champs went on to a 36-24victory to take a one game lead in the divi¬Continued from Page 17he said.Trott said he got an extremely positive re¬sponse from just the telephone calls he andothers made to invite students here. At leastsixty men alone, according to him, were un¬able to make it to this weekend, but saidthey would come at another time. Kids, hesaid, really felt good at having some inter¬est shown in them.The weekend was free for the prospectivestudent-athletes. All they had to do was gethere. Trott said the weekend wasn’t verycostly. Needed funds were provided by theWoman’s Athletic Association and Order ofthe C and the athletic department. All of theprospective athletes stayed with varsityathletes here. sion. But it was a lead that was to last foronly about 24 hours as Dred Scott came backto win Wednesday’s game 40-28. Dred Scottswitched their defense from a zone to a man-to-man for Wednesday’s contest and wereled by Paul Harris and Karl Roddy. Aftertrailing 16-10, Dred Scott outscored TheChamps 28-6 to go on to victory. These twoteams are included in a strong field of Un¬dergrad teams that will be advancing on topost-season competition.

They have the hypotheses, and weare the phenomenon, the "new student”who is violently ruining the University.What makes “us” (presumably I am inthe group because 1 am a second yearstudent) so different from juniors or se¬niors? We are new. according to her. be¬cause as products of the “looking out fortil syndrome” our primary interest is ininstant gratification. When we run upagainst a society of diminishing oppor¬tunities and a college of difficult academ¬ic expectations, we become intenselyfrustrated. This frustration, she says,transforms itself because of our “na¬ture” into violence. Though both the“looking out for #1 syndrome” and the“bleaker future” syndrome have beenwell documented, they are not in any waynew, certainly not to my age group. Flet-man could not be saying that her “gener¬ation” did not experience these syn¬dromes. The economy has been falteringfor some time now and the “me genera¬tion” was a term coined termed for alarge group that includes people of Flet-man’s vintage as well as my own.I don't condone the behavior of the indi¬viduals involved in the incidents Fletmandescribes. But nor do I condone the con¬demnation of an entire population, ofwhich I am by no free will a member, onthe basis of the meagerest of evidence. Isuggest that what makes the Universitya bleaker place is the constant and bittercriticism of anything and everything bydissatisfied individuals.1980 IM basketball playoffs:first round pairingsWednesday, March 5thBlacks & DraftContinued from Page 4this reality!) Because racism pervadedthe process of distributing benefits andburdens in that war, the consequencesand the glare of metal boxes still shinebrightly in the public consciousness,especially in the Black community. I sub¬scribe to the notion that if a future “con¬ventional” war is fought in Africa, LatinAmerica, or the Persian Gulf, manyBlack soldiers will not take up armsagainst their spiritual, if not genetic, rel¬atives. This is not, however, a cause forencouraging young White Americans toregister or enlist, as only 29.9 percent of today’s Army comDat lorce is Black.Congressman Ronald Dellums (D-Calif.), the only Black member of theHouse Armed Services Committee, notesthat the greatest disproportion of Blackrepresentation in the Army is in food ser¬vice (40.8 percent) and in supply posts(46.4 percent). If there were jobs in theprivate sector, he implies, there would beno need for Blacks to enlist in the Army.While speaking of the racism in the mili¬tary complex, we should note that theNavy is only 8.5 percent Black, the AirForce 13 percent, the Marines 17.6 per¬cent, and the Army 26.3 percent. Thesestatistics should encourage us to realizethat today’s Army is not a Black Armyand that Blacks in today’s Army are not being treated equitably.My concern in this column was to raiseissues and questions which the Blackcommunity in particular and the widermoral community need to consider as wemove along a frightening path. Let meclose by underscoring three concerns.First, Blacks who are in the militaryshould receive just compensation for thepotentially dangerous activities they areordered to execute in disproportionatenumbers. Secondly, the social law of di¬minishing returns as it has operated forBlacks in three wars in this centuryshould remind us to examine and com¬pare the responsiveness of America’s in¬stitutions to civil rights and equal oppor¬tunity programs with the kind of responsiveness our government expectsof us in time of apparent need. If theydon’t get the point, it should be made byAmericans across this country in ourvotes and in public demonstrations. Fi¬nally, Blacks and others who may go tothe military and to war should reflect onthe “rightness” of what they’re doingand on who they are as they fight againstother poor people who may not be our en¬emies.“Blessed are the peacemakers, theyshall be called God’s children.”JesusRobert M.
