THECHICAGOMAROONVolume 90, No. 56 The University of Chicago Copyright 1981 The Chicago Maroon Friday, May 22, 1981Concerns of Pre-Med Tract VoicedCollege Faculty OK’sNew Biology ProgramBy Jay McKenzieDavid Bray and Billings HospitalMedicaid Cuts ThreatenJobs, Services HereBy David GlocknerProposed cuts in state and federal medi-caid funding threaten the University of Chi¬cago Hospitals and Clinics (UCHC) with aloss of more than $15 million in annual in¬come — approximately one third of its totalincome from medicaid recipients — andwould devastate the state’s urban healthcare system, hospital officials and local le¬gislators say.The most severe cuts loom at the statelevel, where Governor James Thompsonhas proposed eliminating $150 million fromthe state’s medicaid budget next year.Thompson’s reductions would eliminatemany non-emergency services from medi¬caid coverage and place strict limits on thereimbursement hospitals may receive forinpatient and outpatient care.In addition to these cuts, President Rea¬gan has asked Congress to reduce federalmedicaid expenditures next year by $100million, from $17.2 billion to $17.1 billion,and to impose a five percent annual ceilingon the future grow th of medicaid costs. Fed¬eral medicaid expenditures have risen fas¬ter than 15 percent annually for the past fiveyears. The federal government now pro¬vides 50 percent of the funds for Illinois’smedicaid program. If the federal contribu¬tion is reduced, the distribution of those cutswill have to be determined by the state legis¬lature.The proposed state cuts, which would costUCHC an estimated $15.8 million a year inlost reimbursements beginning in June,have attracted more concern than the feder¬al cuts from UCHC officials, both becausethey appear more drastic than the federalreductions, and because the precise effectsof Reagan’s cuts on Illinois hospitals arestill unclear. The UCHC is the largest pri¬vate provider of medicaid care in Illinois, with 44 percent of its outpatients and 30 per¬cent of its inpatient clientele receiving me¬dicaid assistance. Medicaid reimbursemen¬ts to UCHC this year will total roughly $42million, or 11.5 percent of the UCHC’soperating budget.“A $15 million loss, beginning in as littleas 30 days, is not manageable without firinghospital workers, closing hospital clinics,eliminating needed social services, andother programs,” David Bray, executiveContinued on page 21The University of Chicago Law School re¬mains under attack by the Law Women’sCaucus for its failure to recruit female fac¬ulty members, despite an agreement be¬tween the University and the Department ofLabor last October requiring the Law Schoolto take affirmative action in hiring womenand minorities.The agreement marked the culmination ofa four year investigation of the Law School'shiring policy which began when the LawWomen’s Caucus filed a complaint with theOffice of Civil Rights in 1977. In a statementreleased shortly after the agreement wassigned, the Caucus declared that “the lan¬guage of the agreement is not what we wereled to expect, and we are dissatisfied with it.. . .Our primary criticism of the agreementis that it contains no explicit guarantee thata woman or minority member will be thenext person hired for the faculty.’’The Office of Federal Contract Compli¬ance Programs (OFCCP), which conductedthe investigation, found no evidence of dis¬crimination, but concluded that the Univer- The College Council narrowly approved aproposal last Tuesday to create a new un¬dergraduate degree program w’ithin the bi¬ology department. The proposal was passeddespite the objection of some members ofthe Council, who felt the program in HumanBiology might become a pre-med track.According to Robert Hummel, the spokes¬man for the Committee of the Council, theproposal was passed with a resolution inwhich the proponents of the new programwere urged to consider the objections raisedby the Committee in its April 21 report to theentire Council.‘‘We wanted to postpone action,” Hummelsaid yesterday, in reference to Tuesday’svote in favor of the program. “It was theLABM (Liberal Arts of Biology and Medi¬cine) component that was most attractive tous, but it was also the LABM componentthat we had the most reservations about. Asone person put it after the vote, it was likebeing asked to sign a blank check.”“Speaking personally,” Hummel said, “Iwas a little disappointed in the bases for ac¬tion, because they w ere all ad hominem. Butexcept for that, we thought the program hada lot of potential.”The concentration promises to combine arigorous program in Biology with a liberalarts education. Hummel said. “At no timedid we disagree with the stated aims of theproponents,” he added, “but simply withwhether or not this program would achievethose aims.”sity “failed to take appropriate affirmativeaction to recruit and appoint women andminorities.” The agreement requires theUniversity “to continue to make every goodfaith effort to appoint one or more qualifiedfemale faculty members and one or morequalified minority faculty members for itsLaw School faculty as opportunities to hireoccur.”Gerhard Casper, Dean of the Law School,maintains that the University has alwaysundertaken adequate affirmative action ef¬forts. “The University has contested andcontinues to contest the (OCFCCP)charge,” said Casper. The Women’s Law-Caucus complaint “w as unnecessary in thatwe would have continued to appoint facultyfrom as large an applicant pool as possible— a pool which includes women and minori¬ty members.”Effective July 1, 1981, there will be twowomen on the regular Law School faculty,one of whom will be on leave. The Law-School has one female lecturer, one blacklecturer, and two female Bigelow fellows onone year appointments. In the past year, theLaw School hired two men to full-time ten- “One of the things that made us nervous,”Hummel said, “were references to ASHUM,because that does seem to be perceived as apre-med program. We’re not convinced thatstudents won’t take (the new concentration)as a pre-med program. On the other hand,we concluded that we couldn’t make a deci-jsion on the value of a program based uponpossible enrollment patterns.”Confidential minutes of the Council’sApril 21 meeting, which the Maroon has ob¬tained, indicate that at that time the Com¬mittee of the College Council had three mainreservations about the new program:...the possible status of this programas a pre-professional program in Med¬icine; second, the question of the needto establish a new degree in Biology toachieve the goals described by the au¬thors; and finally, what appears to usto be a certain disjunction betweenthe stated aims of the program andthe practical effects of specificcourses and components in regard tothose aims.In its report to the entire Council, theCommittee praised the intent of the pro¬gram, which it characterized as one which“seeks to focus a student’s attention on therelationships between man’s biological na¬ture and his functions in society while pro¬viding a rigorous grounding in the Biologi¬cal Sciences themselves.” But, the reportadded, ‘we believe that the large number;and wide variety of courses listed under theure-track positions and two men to teach in,the Mandel Legal Aid Clinic.

Allstudents, faculty, staff and alumni are invit¬ed.Computerized SGStudent Government (SG) is consideringputting its financial records on a computernext year in order to prevent student groupsfrom over-spending their budgets.The assembly voted on Tuesday night toform an eight-member committee whichwill make a final decision this summer. Thecommittee is examining both the idea ofusing the University’s computer system, orpurchasing its own desk-top computer. Theassembly has a $4000 limit on the purchaseof any computer hardware.At present, students are easily able tooverspend their budgets because records oftheir accounts which are kept by hand bythe Student Activities Office (SAO) are up totwo and a half months behind. “The systemfor keeping track of student groups’ ac¬counts is antiquated,’’ said Irene Conley,director of SAO. “And because it is antiquat¬ed, it is overwhelmed.’’According to Clarke Campbell, president¬elect of SG, and this year’s SG finance chair,last year group overruns cost SG close to$5000. One group has already overspenttheir budget for this year by 25 percent. “Ithappens all too frequently,’’ he said.Conley believes that eventually all SAOrecords will be computerized. “I see it as in¬evitable,” she said. “If we are going to ser¬vice student groups with accuracy and effi¬ciency, then a computer is the only logicalanswer.” But she will not guess when a system would be installed. “I‘m not willingto rush up this project,” she said. “This of¬fice needs a much more sophisticated sys¬tem than SG is considering.”Campbell said that no decision was madeby the assembly whether to try for its owncomputer rather than using the University’ssystem. “No option has been pre-deter-mined,” he said. But she said it was his un¬derstanding that cost of using the Universi¬ty’s system would exceed the cost of a smallcomputer in a few years of use. He also saidhe hopes other student groups would be ableto use the computer. “I would see that asone of its prime benefits,” he said.Day Care CenterThe Student Government (SG) is sendingout a questionnaire this week to all graduatestudents to determine the feasibility ofstarting a day-care center next year.“Of special concern to SG,” the question¬naire reads, “is the complete lack of institu¬tional day care for children between theages of four months and two years...StudentGovernment does not propose to operatesuch a center itself, for that is beyond its ca¬pabilities and outside of its purpose, but caninstead provide organizational support andlend the start-up capital require if this sur¬vey indicates the need and desire for such acenter on campus.’’SG president-elect Clarke Campbell saidthat if such a center is started, it would beopen to the children of faculty and staff, butthat if the need for the center by graduatestudents is not present, then they will not bestarting a center.Even if there is an interest shown by thegraduate students in the center, it will takeat least six months to get the center going,^Siocet'PodritJbik iMZekul Jamh Miapfvjlttt UHOO&b*.English and Italian Madrigalsand Sundry Ensemblesand Schutz Sieren Letzte Wortewith Viol ConsortMay 24 8:00 P.M.Blue Gargoyle 5655 University$2.00 Admission a -4-o CoSaturday, May 23Mandel Hall 8 p.m.(free admission)performingTale of a Winter’s NightFugues, Art of the FugueMonday Night at theWrong Branch SaloonThe Chicago Maroon — Friday, May 22, 1981 — 3National Car RentalKIMBARK LIQUORS& WINE SHOPPE1214 E. 53rd (Kimbark Plaza)Phone: 493-3355LIQUOR fO-4 '<V1.751.

TheChicago Board of Education, the currentowner, originally purchased the land duringthe late 1960’s for a proposed expansion ofthe adjacent Murray Elementary School.The Board now seeks to sell the property toraise funds for the city’s financially trou¬bled school system.The CCC, appointed by the mayor, hasveto power over developments on city-owned urban renewal land within the HydePark-Kenwood area. Although the Councilhas only advisory powers for this Board ofEducation land, the CCC’s recommenda¬tions are influential in the city’s zoning ofthe land and the Board’s choice of develop¬ers.At the meeting, the CCC discussed threegeneral uses for the land: residential, com¬mercial, and recreational. The property iscurrently zoned for residential use but mostCouncil members expressed doubts aboutfinding someone to develop housing units onthe site. These members mentioned that thisis not an attractive site for a residentialbuilding because of the commercial natureof 53rd Street, referring in particular to thegas station and McDonald’s located acrossthe street. The current costs of housing con¬ struction in the city were also discussed asobstacle to all but high rise or subsidizedhousing.The proposal for commercial develop¬ment on the land met with more enthusiasmfrom the Council. According to one CCCmember, “There is a tremendous demandfor office space in Hyde Park. . .a develop¬ment on this property could revitalize 53rdStreet — it needs it very badly. It would be areal shot in the arm.” The Council saw sucha building, with a possible combination ofretail and office space, as a major steptoward making 53rd Street the full-fledgedcommercial strip which Hyde Park needs.The only objections to commercial develop¬ment was that the back of the building wouldface the Murray School.The final proposal, for recreational use,came from Michael Murphy, executivedirector of the South East Chicago Commis¬sion (SECC). Murphy told the CCC that hehad requested a recreational needs studyfor the Hyde Park-Kenwood area from theChicago Park District. According toMurphy, the Park District expressed inter¬est in building a fieldhouse on the site if theirstudy favored such action. The fieldhousewould provide facilities similar to thoseavailable at the Hyde Park YMCA until itsclosing last summer. The fieldhouse couldthen be connected to the park located be¬tween 53rd and 54th Streets at Kimbark Ave¬ nue through a vacant lot on 54th. LawrenceBloom, city alderman for Hyde Park-Ken¬wood suggested that under this proposal theold Y site, one block east of the Board of Ed¬ucation land, could be used for the desiredcommercial development.The CCC closed the meeting by recom¬mending that all these proposals be pursuedto determine community and developer in¬terest in the various projects. The Councilrequested that Murphy and the SECC con¬tinue to push for the Park District's recrea¬tional needs study, which is expected to takesix months to a year to complete At thesame time, a joint committee of the CCCand the SECC will seek potential commer¬cial and residential developers for the site.

Sometwelve years ago the Provisional IRA un¬leashed a brutal campaign of indiscrimi¬nate killings against Catholics, Protes¬tants, and British in Northern Ireland.This savagery has no more to do with thetrue aspirations of the Irish than thebloody gangsterism of the Red Brigadeshas to do with the aspirations of the poor inItaly.Both terrorist gangs, like many others,belong to the Terrorist International: di¬rectly and indirectly financed andequipped by the Soviet Union and Ghadaf-fi’s Libya, they are part of a world-wide as¬sault on the standards of civilization.These criminal groups have cynicallyadopted a string of political cliches whichhave by now assumed a kind of degeneratesacerdotal authority: they fight “coloniali¬sm’ and “imperialist’’ and “exploitation,”etc. The central cliche in this lexicon isthat murdering innocent people for politi¬cal purposes (what Gleason calls “violenttactics”) “becomes understandable andperhaps acceptable,” as Gleason says.We believe that indiscriminate killing ofinnocent people — for whatever purpose —is not “understandable” or “acceptable.”We believe that civilized people should un¬equivocally denounce such savagery andcondemn those who perpetrate such atro¬cities. We believe that the civilized powersshould unite and marshal the resources ofcivilization in a relentless, comprehensive,and systematic campaign to extinguishterrorism and uphold the standards of civi¬lization £yid decency.At a public gathering in Leeds in October1881, William Gladstone said some unam¬biguous things about terrorism. His wordshave poignant relevance today:If it shall appear that there is still to befoughta final conflict in Ireland between law on theoneside and sheer lawlessness on the other, if thelawpurged from defect and any taint of injustice isstillto be repelled and refused, and the first condi¬tionsof political society to remain unfulfilled, then Isay,gentlemen, without hesitation, the resources ofcivilizationagainst its enemies are not yet exhausted.To uphold the norms of decency, and tooppose barbaric terrorism, is not to take astand on the Irish question. This questionshould be decided by the people of North¬ern Ireland. What can be said with somecertainty is that unprincipled support forthe Provisional IRA will make a solution tothis centuries-old problem even more diffi¬cult to achieve.Elizabeth LichtensteinBen FrankelBritian Not atFaultTo the Editor:Your two articles of May 19 discussingBritish involvement in Northern Irelandcontained unsound logic and half-truths thatneed corrected. Mr. Gleason’s and Mr.Lucy’s invective make interesting fiction but an objective examination of Britain’srole in Ireland since independence in 1921shows that Britain is far from the viciouscolonial power that they portray her as.Britain's recent involvement in Ulsterbegan in August of 1969 in the midst of sec¬tarian fighting that claimed 766 casualties inthe first two weeks of August. Seeking to re¬store order in part of the United Kingdom,Prime Minister Wilson put all securityforces under British control and took stepsto insure Catholic voting rights.In response to increased violence and theinability of the local government to keeporder, on March 24, 1972 Prime MinisterHeath revoked the local Protestant-domi¬nated government’s ruling authority andreimposed direct rule of Ulster.On March 8, 1973 a plebiscite was held todecide the future of Northern Ireland: 57.4percent voted to remain in the UK, 0.6 per¬cent voted for union with the South and 42percent (mostly Catholic) did not vote. Thepoint, of course, is that a majority of thepublic wish Ulster to stay in the UK. This,however, is not surprising in light of the 69percent Protestant majority in the North.A White Paper issued by the British gov¬ernment on March 20, 1973 stated: 1) thatdirect rule w'ould be continued indefinitely;2) that Northern Ireland would send 12 MP’sto Westminster; 3) that a local assembly of I40 members would be established: and 4)that Northern Ireland would remain a part;of the UK “for as long as it is the wish of its)people.”What could be more just than respecting apeople’s right to self-determination? Yet wehear the loud voices of self-righteous Irish jnationalists calling the British colonialistsand extolling the rights a people supposedlysubjugated against their will. One wonders;how the claims wash.Mr. Gleason seems to think that the IRA’swanton destruction and murder of civiliansare “understandable and perhaps accept¬able.” Mr. Lucy tells us that George Wash-;ington was a terrorist.Did Washington endlessly destroy proper¬ty and kill innocent civilians? There is nojjustification for terrorizing and murderingNorthern Ireland’s civilian population,especially when the plebiscite of 1973 de-,monstrated the weak support for the IRA’s jaims.Perhaps Mr. Gleason would think it justi¬fied for the Indians, Mexicans or Puerto jRicans to murder Americans or bomb the!Sears Tower. The US, of course, took the;West a mere 100 years ago, not in the 12th;century.Westminster’s role in Ireland is not that ofa greedy colonial power but is that of a pro¬tector. The British are trying to preservethe peace and the wishes of the majority ofthe crown’s subjects in Northern Ireland.David R. BurtonStudent in the CollegeSave AmtrackTo the Editor:Joseph Maxwell’s letter which appearedin this space contains several blatant errorsthat must be corrected. First, although Am-trak ridership in Fiscal Year 1980 declinedby 200,000 people, on a comparable trainbasis, Amtrak ridership in FY 1980 in¬creased by 8% on long-distance trains andridership on short-haul trains increased10.6%. The decline occurred in the fact thatfive long distance trains were discontinuedat the end of FY 1979. Naturally, their riderswould be counted in the figures for 1979, but6 — The Chicago Maroon — Friday, May 22, 1981LETTERS TO THE EDITORnot in FY 1980. Also, ridership for FY 1979was increased by the gasoline crisis,whereas ridership in FY 1980 represents ayear in which gas supplies returned to nor¬mal levels.Second, although the per-passenger milesubsidies show that Amtrak receives moreper-passenger mile than other forms oftransportation, this, too, does not tell thewhole truth. Buses travel on superhighwaysbuilt and paid for by the Federal govern¬ment. Most auto travel between cities alsotakes place on these same superhighways.Airlines are not exempt either. The Federalgovernment provided funds to build thehundreds of airports used. The Federal gov¬ernment also provides funds to rebuild, re¬pair, and expand the airports. The Federalgovernment pays the air traffic controllers,operates the National Weather Service, andsubsidizes many regional airlines. Gasolinetaxes and user fees also account for only arelatively small portion of the funds used byhighway and air travel services.Third, there will be no future for rail trav¬el in this country without Federal subsidiesNo private corporation is willing to providerail passenger service in this country be¬cause there is no way passenger rail servic’ecan make money —labor contracts repre¬sent too huge a burden.When Amtrak was founded in 1971, it in¬herited a fleet of ancient, delapidated equip¬ment that had to be replaced. If rail servicein this country were kept at the same stan¬dard as that of Western Europe and Japan,huge fleet replacements would not be such afinancial drain. This brings up anotherpoint. Rail service in this country is, quite Talk is Cheapfrankly, horrible. While there has beensome improvement, rail passenger servicesin this country still lag behind those of othercountries. Indeed, of the 50 most populouscountries in the World, the United Statesranks 44th in rail passenger services. This isbecause of the widespread bias which existstoward Amtrak, the general nature of unin¬formed people who still think that a traintrip is inconvenient, expensive, slow, andsusceptible to breakdowns, derailments,and delays every mile of the journey andotherwise a lousy way to travel.The only way for Amtrak to provide aclean, comfortable, fast, convenient, andcheap method of transportation is for theFederal government to increase, not de¬crease, the amount of its subsidies to Am¬trak. This would enable Amtrak to increasethe amount of service it already operates,and upgrade several routes to ‘corridor' standards, of regularly scheduled, quick,comfortable trains between such majorcities as Chicago-Detroit, Chicago-Minnea-polis, Chicago-Cincinnati, Los Angeles-SanFrancisco, Los Angeles-Las Vegas, to nameonly a few. Federal studies have shownthese routes to be economically feasiblewith fast schedules and frequent service.Yet the Federal government refuses to pro¬vide funds to Amtrak to upgrade theseroutes. Federal budget cuts pose a gravedanger to the future of rail service in thiscountry. When gasoline prices reached un¬heard of levels, there will be no ready alter¬native mode of transportation if the countrygives up now on Amtrak. Then, perhaps thiscountry will have learnt its lesson. Unfor¬tunately, it will then be too late.John PlampinStudent,University High School To the Editor:This letter is addressed to the positions ex¬pressed in the Letters to the Editor of May1st that criticized U.S. policy toward El Sal¬vador and the faculty members, James Co¬leman and Robert Benne, who endorse saidpolicy.Despite the complexity of the presentcrisis and the long history of social injusticein El Salvador, certain facts were not ad¬dressed in any of the letters. During theCarter Administration the U.S. helped to in¬troduce land reform. The Reagan Adminis¬tration continues to insist on reform, as doesJose Duarte, who is currently trying tcbring stability to El Salvador. Those whcwould criticize Duarte would do well to re¬member that in 1972 he was tortured and ex¬iled by a right-wing military junta for his re¬formist policies.Documented evidence has overwhelming¬ly proven that the Soviet government hascollaborated wih Castro and the NicaraquanSandinistas in actively promoting subver¬sion and supplying massive amounts ofarms to communist factions who are tryingto disrupt the reforms and ruin the economyof El Salvador. Standard communist tacticsare designed to create such instability, fear,and chaos that the El Salvadoran people willacquiesce to a Marxist government. At thesame time the situation is complicated bythe right-wing military junta that is largelycorrupt and opposed to the land reforms./I■l PRIME RIB SPECIALIncludes baked potato, vegetable of the day,house salad.

For Parmenides “allremains, nothing changes,” despite themovement all eventually returns to thesame origin, the same principles, the sameexplanation for being.In Heraclitus and Parmenides one seestwo ways of approaching the phenomenonof movement — as transformation and di¬versity, or as a permanence and unity.Heraclitus speaks of being-in-movement;Parmenides, on the other hand, of move-v ments of being. For Heraclitus every dayn hides a surprise. For Parmenides “there isv nothing new under the sun.” The being is£ perfectable, Heraclitus says, history is~ progressive, and the human race is evolv-- ing and reaching its ultimate accomplish-|,ment. Parmenides answers that the being£ unfolds his mode of existence, history is§■ circular, and humans are a thousand-and-© one times the manifestation of the samebeing. Heraclitus and Parmenides basetheir analyses on different grades of ab¬straction: one in the metaphysical, theother in the daily behavior. The Great EscapeIn one sense or another everyone todayis involved in the Heraclitus-Parmenidesdiscussion: the meaning of the movement.But one law is imposed on all — movementcan be directed, but it cannot be ignored orstopped. We can give some sense tochange, to history, but we are not capableof freezing it in one of its stages. From therhythm and direction one tries to imposeon change, historical currents are born —for instance, conservatism, reformismand radicalism. The first two aim to modi¬fy what exists, though to a different paceand degree. The last aims to transform thestatus quo, giving the movement a new di¬rection. By the interaction of these threecurrents, societies are maintained and de¬veloped. Yet there is one more current thatis often confused with the others — the re¬action.In society, as in physics, reaction is amovement, but one provoked by another,and in a sense contrary to it. Reaction is aforce opposed to change. Even more, itsaim is to turn back history to earlierstages. Like the crab, the reaction walksbackwards.If conservatives and reformists alignthemselves with Parmenides, and radicalswith Heraclitus, the reactionaries findtheir heritage with the Sophists. For Hera¬clitus and Parmenides, as well as for con¬servatives, reformists and radicals, theworld in motion constitutes the object ofreflection, or of transformation. The reac¬tionaries, however, neither interpret nortransform the world, but rather fabricateit. By denying the being-in-motion, or themovements of the being as the valid objectof knowledge and action, the reactionariesare left in a vacuum, hanging by the illu¬sion of stopping or slandering movement.The reactionaries do not relate to what is,AW ACS Debate Misses the PointBy Daniel BrumbergThe present debate over the selling of so¬phisticated weaponry to the Saudis, themost controversial of which are the Air¬borne Warning and Control (AWACS) air¬craft, seems to me to have missed thepoint. On the surface there are concernsabout the necessity of some kind of quidpro quo from the Saudis, the possible com¬promising of such sensitive technology,and the threat the spy planes may pose toIsrael in an Arab-Israeli war. But if theconcerns of Mideast states are for the mostpart regional, as suggested by Sheik Ya-mani’s claim that the Israelis, not the Sovi¬ets, comprise his country’s primary mili¬tary concern, then we must ask moreprobing questions about the effects such adeal might have on the complicated re¬gional calculations of Mideast leaders. Inparticular, we must ask how the sale willaffect a resolution of the Arab-Israeli con¬flict.It is not to say that this conflict poses thegreatest obstacle to Mideast stability, amyth easily laid to rest by the Iranian-Iraqi war, but rather it is one problemwhose solution would contribute to Mi¬deast stability. And this in turn will dependon a solution of the West Bank sovereigntyissue without which the Egyptian-lsraelipeace itself will not survive.So far an agreement has remained veryelusive, not because the Israelis oppose onideological grounds a resolution of the Pa¬lestinian problem, but because the WestBank itself forms the most sensitive terri¬torial-security issue for the Israelis. Its re¬turn would restore a border whose viabi¬ lity is doubtful. It would leave between theWest Bank and the Mediterranean coast a25 mile strip of land whose width at itl nar¬rowest point is less than the distance be¬tween the University and Water TowerPlace, along which 67 percent of Israel’spopulation lives. To submit this populationagain to the threat of direct attack seemsunacceptable to most Israelis.Yet recent opinion polls show that whileof Israelis support holding on the WestBank and oppose this, roughly anotherthird are undecided. And if future alterna¬tives brighten and avenues for compro¬mise appear, as they did with Egy pt, thenone cannot rule out a substantial change ofopinion. Therefore, the question is whatactions and what kind of climate will influ¬ence the internal debate which is so impor¬tant to the ability of Israeli leaders tomake difficult decisions?Israel’s defense doctrine is based on theability to deter ?n Arab attack by threat ofa preemptive strike which would, if car¬ried out, provide the critical 48 hours tocall up the reserve units on which Israel'sexistence depends. Inherent in this doc¬trine is the notion that the border defenseswould be able to slow down an attack dur¬ing this vital period and keep enemy forcesat a secure distance from main populationareas. And in the event that a preemptivestrike is not possible, due to internationalpressure as in 1973 or for some other rea¬son, then every inch of land becomes vitalto the “buffer-time” required for muster¬ing a reserve army.And here settlements play a central roleContrary to popular thinking, the Israelisdid not conclude that removing all civil¬ ians from settlements on the GolanHeights during the onset of the Octoberwar proved the uselessness of settlements.In fact, the conclusion was that this was amistake and that had the settlements beenproperly armed with heavy guns over stra¬tegic roads and passes, they then couldhave slowed the Syrian advance for sever¬al crucial hours — even against sophisti¬cated weaponry. Civilian settlements havethus been brought into the realm of stra¬tegic planning with added * vigor, eventhough they were always accorded someimportance.America’s success in gaining a territori¬al compromise on the West Bank will de¬pend on its ability to minimize the strate¬gic-military importance accorded to thisterritory. But by furnishing 5 AWACS toSaudi Arabia, the U.S. will make it poss¬ible for the Arab camp to detect any Israelipreemptive strike, thereby substantiallyreducing Israel’s deterrent capability.This would then dramatically increase theimportance of the West Bank as a vitalbuffer zone between Israel and Jordan andgive potency to the argument for its reten¬tion.Already one reads in the Israeli press ofthe dangerous consequences of such a sale,which are not mitigated by the assurancethat the Saudis, who have participated inwars against Israel, would refrain frompassing information to its Arabs neigh¬bors. Indeed a recent analysis in the Jeru¬salem Post warns that the sale may leaveIsrael with no alternative but to announcea nuclear deterence policy, indicating justhow far the mere discussion of the issueContinued on page 22 but rather to what they imagine once was.After inventing the past, the reactionariestranslate it into a program for the present.Thus they go from illusion to deceit.Reaction is not an idealist vision (Par¬menides), or a materialist one (Heracli¬tus) of events, but rather a pathologicalstate: the inability to confront reality as itis. The reactionary is unable to face thecontradictions of the present, and to proj¬ect hope for the future. Historical change,then, turns into the enemy, evil in itself.The reactionary mind is formed by preju¬dice, not by evidence. If, in the reign of theabstract the reactionary can be a genius(H O - Coca Cola, Human rights policy -arming repressive regimes), in the worldof the concrete he/she is out of tune.Reaction knows no boundaries. Thereare reactionaries in Moscow, Washington,Rome, Mecca, Tel Aviv, Tlalpujahua andthe University of Chicago. The sons anddaughters of radicals can be the reaction¬aries of today, as the Bolshevik or theAmerican revolutions can be today’s ex¬cuse to stop required transformation.From sacred politics, to voo-doo eco¬nomicsThe time of crisis, of the erosion of whathas been and transition to what will be, isthe auspicious time for the reactionary toact. The contradictions of our times, the in¬security of the future, and the social strug¬gles which spring forth to direct transfor¬mation, all raise fears and irrationality inthe minds of the public, which in turn pro¬vide fuel for the reactionary machine. Thereactionaries present themselves withtheir solution: the evils, the crisis of thepresent are due to struggles for change.That is why it becomes necessary for thereactionary to restore the illusion offormer times, when exploited and ex¬ploiters lived in harmony, when the nationwas strong and respected by countriesunder its control, when the discontenteddid not exist, and when God, morality andfamily were the property of the blessedpreachers of the State. The reactionarypromises a lost paradise and validates thisby invoking the “founding fathers,” theBible and tradition, in order to give credi¬bility to his/her traumas and sophisms.The world of the reactionary is not science,but circus.Reactionaries invent hegemonic doc¬trines, manifest destinies, racial superiori¬ties, and male supremacies. They createStates of National Security, the folly of dis¬sidents. the un-American view of non-con¬formists. Reactionaries fabricate foreignthreats to feed intelligence networks andmilitary buildups. They interpret move¬ments for change as CIA or KBG plots. Re¬actionaries look at Soviet or Chinese so¬cialism as socialism per se, revolution perse; they make capitalism into the verymeaning and ultimate end of human devel¬opment. For reactionaries, capitalism andfreedom are converted at their hands intodogma and into miracle. Reaction is not anapproach to reality, but rather a fanati¬cism. Reaction does not come about tobuild or remodel, but rather to destroy. Inthe field of values, reaction has one name:Moral Mediocrity.The history of reaction is a tally of fail¬ures and tragedies, of irrationality and ab¬surdity Though reaction does not exist byitself, reaction is a pathological answer tothe need and longing of peoples for a betterworld. To these peoples belong the task ofmanaging change, for the movement canbe directed but never ignored or stopped;be it here, in Poland, Chile, South Africa,Northern Ireland, or El Salvador.Primitivo Rodriguez is a graduatestudent in the department of history.The Chicago Maroon — Friday, May 22, 1981 — 9Hotlips HoolihanZsHawke yein*e 9originalc - UNCUT——^MASH<zrr... ~ .

The newly gainedadmiration garnered Mr. Powella spate of gushy tributes and full-scale retrospectives from such ar¬biters of film culture asthe Muse¬um of Modern Art, the AmericanFilm Insitute, the British Film In¬stitute and Cinematheque fran-cais; but the recognition was longoverdue, for Mr. Powell, whostarted directing in the early 30's,has made more worthwhile andinventive films than any otherdirector in the history of Britishcinema.Michael Powell was born inCanterbury, Kent in 1905; in themid-20-s, he left Dulwich Collegefor the studio Rex Ingram had setup in Nice and became an assis¬tant there. During this appren¬ticeship, he acquired an interestin the expressionist treatment ofthe supernatural which wouldlater become a dominant facet ofhis work. After working at variousodd jobs in the industry — includ¬ing one as Hitchcock's still pho¬tographer — he made his first fea¬ture in 1931 and drew criticalattention, in 1927 with The Edge ofthe World which won the NewYork Critics Award for ForeignPicture. Two years later, heteamed up with the Hungarian-born scriptwriter Emeric Press-burger; together, the two pro¬duced 19 films — certainly themost impressive body of work inthe British cinema. Several ofthese are certifiable classics: TheThief of Bagdad, The Life andDeath of Colonel Blimp (1943), AMatter of Life and Death (1946),Black Narcissus (1947), and TheRed Shoes (1948); some lesser-known ones — / Know Where I'mGoing (1945), The Small BackRoom (1949), and Peeping Tom —are gaining in reputation. Formost of these films, Powell reliedon a small stable of actors — mostnotably, Roger Liversey, MariusGoring, Kathleen Byron, andMoira Shearer; by casting Deborah Kerr, Jean Simmons,Laurence Olivier, and DavidNiven in some, he was partly responsible for launching their in¬ternational careers; and heworked With cinematographerJack Cardiff in creating the shim¬mering and hyponotic images ofBlack Narcissus and The RedShoes. Powell and Pressburgerhad their best commercial suc¬cesses in the years immediately • •following the war, no doubt be¬cause the delirious evocation ofthe erotic and the supernatural inthese films appealed to audiencesrecovering from drab and shell¬shocked war years. In the 50's,however, their brand of romanti¬cism was deemed gaudy, distaste¬ful and effete by critics and mo¬viegoers increasingly infatuatedwith kitchen-sink realism.In 1957, their partnership dis¬solved; two -years later, Powellwent solo and made the film thatwas to halt his career to a virtualstandstill. Upon its release, Peep¬ing Tom was savaged by review¬ers for its lurid topic and rampantbad taste; it was withdrawn fromcirculation quickly. Now, ofcourse, it is regarded as Powell'scrowning achievement, his quin¬tessential film. As some criticshave noted, "it is at once mische-vious and compassionate, ihonicand evangelistic, comic and trag¬ic." To many, the responses: be¬tween moral censure and emo¬tional engagement."The oscillating between polarextremes, so evident in PeepingTom, provides the impetus of al¬most all of Powell's work: Itcreates the tortuous tension be¬tween self-expression and repres¬sion, it set up the thematic clashesbetween freedom and inhibition.In his most famous film The RedShoes, the ballerina is pulled atone end by her composer hus¬band's offer of love and at theother by her Balanchine-like men¬tor's demand of allegiance to her their own emotional precipice.One of them falls over (literally),but Nature has taught Civilizationa lesson. In each film, as in allothers, Powell mocks puritanism,conventionally and self-denial: heendorses the realization of one'sdesires and needs even in self-de¬structive defiance of social rules.The central impulse of Powell'sfilms is almost entirely visual andmusical. Even when their intellec¬tual substance wears thin, theystill demonstrate imaginativecompositions and carefully modu¬lated rhythms. Powell's facility inthese areas is partly due to his de¬ Mr. Powell's technical exper¬tise, plus his 50-year filmmakingexperience, mu.st be serving someyounger filmmakers well now, forhe is currently the senior directorin residence at Francis Ford Cop¬pola's Zoetrope Studios. As he putit, at Zoetrope, he attends scriptconferences, sees the rushes and"contributes his mite to the gener¬al disorganization." (He advisedScorsese not to shoot Raging Bullin color.) Aside from his duties, heis completing his memoirs, pre¬paring for a stage musical of TheRed Shoes; and on his drawingboard are sketches for a movieart. Her inability to resolve theconflict leads to her tragic end.But many of Powell's other pro-tagonists (mostly redheadheroines) have clearcut choices.In A Matter of Life and Death,RAF pilot David Niven causes astir in a bureaucratic and mono¬chromatic Heaven by insisting toremain on Technicolor Earth —all for love. Life wins over Death.In I Know Where I'm Going — atypically ironic Powell title — aspunky Wendy Hiller, determinedto marry rich, at the end followsthe call of her nature and settlesdown with the man she loves, notthe one who offers wealth. Ro¬mantic impulse triumphs overstaid common sense. In BlackNarcissus, a bevy of convent-brednuns, transplanted to a Himala¬yan hillsid*, let their instinctstake rein. Their blossoming sexu¬ality constantly battles their reli¬gious upbringing, and their excit¬ability brings them to the edge of „ Ivotion to opera and ballet, two artforms which — like his films —derive their expressive vitalityfrom the tenstion between exces¬sive emotions and a disciplinedform. Powell has also contributedto the mechanical side of film-making, incorporating technicaladvances into his expressive vo¬cabulary. He experimented withspecial effects, attempted to revo¬lutionize shooting methods by ex¬ploring the use of optical effectsand other techniques; and he haseven varied camera speeds fromshot to shot so to give vivid diver¬sity to his material. version of Ursula LeGuin's sci-fifantasy The Earthsea Trilogy.Moreover, he still hasn't aban¬doned his plan to film The Tem¬pest. It won't be hard to see himas Prospero. Throughout his career, he has been playing that role— a benign magician who weavesrich fantasies and constantly unfetters the Id from the Superego.This Sunday, Mr. Powell willtalk about his career, his filmsand other related topics„after theshowing of A Matter of Life andDeath in Quantrell at 7.

In a single set, the groupmoves from a quiet steadily rhythmichunters' song, to a rocking dance tune,to historical ballads sung in Mandingoand recited in English.The group started when Hyde Parknative percussionist Adam Rudolphwent to Ghana to study West Africadrumming in 1977. There Rudolph metSuso, the musical heir of Gambia's ol¬dest family of griots. These oral historian/musicians have preserved theheritage and history of the Mandingopeople for more than a thousandyears. Performing on the kora, a 21string harp lute, the griot sings hisforical tales and genealogies. With thepublication and subsequent televisingof Alex Haley's Roots, many Americans were introduced to the importantrole of the griot in Mandingo cultureand to the hypnotic music of theirkoras and chants.Suso, 31, himself one of West Afri¬ca's premier kora players, began stu¬dies as a small boy with his father anduncle the traditional manner. Oneof the few griots who performs in boththe Tomara icoastal) and Sauta (inland) styles, Suso is also an adeot performer on dusongoni, a seven string lute; tamo, the so called "talkingdrums," and bala, similar to the xylophone. He is also a fine synthesizer ofWestern musical styies, as seen in hisguitar and mouth harp playing. Sincehis arrival in America he has performed numerous solo concerts andwas heard on the soundtrack for RootsII.Rudolph, 24, began studying congas10 years ago after listening to thedrummers who used to gather at thePoint each summer evening. As teenagers, he and drummer Hamid HankDrake, 25, became part of the Chicagocreative music scene playing withsaxophonist Fred Anderson. At Obertin College, Rudolph assembled an in¬dependent program in ethnomusicology studying Indian and Africanmusic with teachers around the na¬tion. He gained accomplishment ontabla, North Indian classical drums,and the djembe, a Mandingo handdrum, as well as more traditional percussion instruments. Drake and Rudolph went on to perform and recordwith trumpet legend Don Cherry, bothtravelling with him to Europe, whileDrake also toured with Cherry in Afri¬ca.Drake, an Evanstonian now on theWest Coast, has been an importantdrummer and percussionist in Chicago since the early Seventies, performing with Douglas Ewart, GeorgeLewis, Muhal Richard Abrams, HenryThreadgill, and others associated withthe AACM.

At a time when growing support forthe Family Protection Act and anti-abor¬tion legislation is threatening to reversethe rights that women have struggle to at¬tain, the revival of a pejorative image ofwoman and its enshrinement in a museumappears suspect. However, it is preciselythe uncomfortable resonance that the latenineteenth-century conception of womanstrikes with contemporary life that makesthe femme fatale an important subject forstudy and exposition. As one of the stu¬dents involved in the preparation for theexhibit. I will discuss the understanding ofthe femme fatale that emerged from ourwork and briefly suggest several waysthat the assumptions underlying theseworks inform the view of woman in ourown period.The project began with a seminar withReinhold Heller, who directed the exhibit,in which we examined a number of liter¬ary and visual works in order to identifythe characteristics of fatal women. Wesoon found that none of our examplescompletely fit into the tentative definitionwith which we had started. The femme fa¬tale usually destroyed men, but was notan unaffected temptress, for she some¬times also, or only, destroyed herself.While she seemed to epitomize the deadlyallure of female sexuality, many were atleast physically chaste. And, like the fre¬quently-depicted Salome, some causeddeath only at the instigation of someoneelse; they were both fatal and fated.What is most significant about thefemme fatale emerges from a considera¬tion of these works in the context of otherportrayals of women during this period.In these numerous images of woman, sev¬eral themes predominate: the earthmother communing with the lifecycle ofnature and the non-sexual spiritual guideare two other examples. The products ofthis fascination with woman around theturn-of-the-century reveal an attempt todefine the nature of woman by a series oftypes, or to enumerate alternative and fi¬nite paths along which women may devel¬op. That the nature of woman was oftenexpressed through reference to legendaryand literary female figures suggests thatthese individual images were conceivedas eternal archetypes by which all womencould be categorized. This obsessive de¬sire to explain and codify a constant andeternal femaleness can be seen as a reac¬tion to the changing roles of men andwomen at that time and the subsequentquestioning of these traditional assumptions.When we began to research the individual pieces chosen for the exhibit, the am¬bivalent attitude toward women reflectedby the coexistence of these different typesbecame more manifest. Several worksproved not to be fatal women at all andfew represented an unambiguous con¬demnation of woman. Nowhere in the lit¬erature of the period had we found theterm "femme fatale," a recent inventionwhich is now common currency, and ourassumptions did not quite fit the imagesthat the term was meant to describe.However, the desire to create types wasclearly a feature of this art. And what ismost important is that in all these generalbut blurry types — the female muse beck¬oning man to spiritual heights, the tempt¬ress dragging him into the mud of lust, thefertile and animal-instinctive mother fig¬ure — woman is defined by her relation tosexuality.The separation of woman into the vir¬gin, the mother, and the whore, exempli¬fied in Munch's The Three Stages ofWoman (on exhibit), was not a creation ofthis period, nor, as is obvious, did it endthere. It is the association of men with the mind and spirit and women with the bodythat the feminist movement has foughtagainst by revaluating female sexualityin a positive light and by presenting a vi¬sion of the potentialities of woman thatfuses rather than isolates the mind andthe body, the spiritual and the sexual, theemotional and the intellectual. I think thatit is in a return to the type of definition bysexuality that characterizes the art of the femme fatale exhibit in which the co-opta¬tion of the feminist vision can be located.Today, the liberated woman has be¬come the “Cosmo Girl" — a womanwhose primary liberation lies in her free¬dom to have sex without inhibition andwith numerous men. She can make it in aman's world during the day; at night sheexchanges her man-tailored suit for asexy gown. This “modern woman" is the woman in the Enjoli perfume commercialwho sings:I can bring home the baconFry it up in a panAnd never let you forget you're aman'Cause I'm a woman. . .In this media image of liberation sever-• • •' :.£3;-'S-■At: -mS : •• • . v •*.•••.. >vv.I • - • *4• •. • -V ••V •DECADENCE FROM SAICharles Allen Winter, .*•*Fantasie Egyptienne* .* • •* •<’8,8>l •••/.“• • by MICHAEL WORLEYLa femme fatale — that erotic fantasyof fin-de-siecle artists — the evil descen¬dant of Eve, Lilith and other numerouslife-consuming lovers, reaches her zenithof male domination under the direction ofthe turn-of-the-century misogynists, ma¬sochists and other decadents. A swarm ofthese blood-thirsty sirens beckon thecurious art-lovers, connoisseurs of maca¬bre literature and amateurs of decadenceof Chicago at the Smart Gallery exhib¬ition: “The Early Chimera and theFemme Fatale: Fear of Woman in 19thcentury Art," which runs through June21.This rather unique show, the gallery'sspring opener, will present works by a va¬riety of late 19th century artists includingAubrey Beardsley, Paul Gauguin, Gus¬tave Moreau, Edward Munch and MaxKlinger. Such an exhibition calls for abrief review of this theme which ap¬peared so frequently in literature, paint¬ing and opera.As Professor Reinhold Heller, themajor specialist behind the exhibition,has shown in the introduction to the cata¬logue, men were reacting to the “t •'eat"of woman's rising status in public life, her"increasing non-maternal and non-conju-gal significance." Woman was thus re¬garded as a degrading influence. In thefemme fatale myth, woman preventedman from achieving spiritual perfection;she represented sensuousness, or in arthistorical terminology, realism: thafwhich symbolist artists were trying toavoid. Anything worldly was thought to berepulsive, and woman (sex) tied man to a mere, lowly animal state. Modern artistssought to free themselves from thiswretched state.Woman, however, was also Beauty,which could be worshipped as an unat¬tainable ideal. The dandy and father ofFrench aesthetes, Charles Baudelaire,characterizes the dual nature of thefemme fatale. Like Pascal, Baudelairerealized man's position was between twoinfinities: in this case he fell between thesimultaneous aspiration towards divine,ideal beauty, and to the Satanic depths ofhis animal nature. Baudelaire's womanwas at times a reconciliation of the tworealms. In Hymne a la Beaute (Fleurs duMai) he asks Beauty:Viens-tu du del profondou sors-tu de Tabime?Whether Beauty be an angel or a Siren,the poet proclaims total devotion, sinceshe is in effect, the total remedy to his dis¬tress.During the late Romantic period, lafemme fatale appeared under manyguises. Artists and poets revived Old andNew Testament heroines who inevitablyconquered their male adversaries. One ofthe most popular was Judith, the chastewidow of Bethulia who cut off the head ofthe Assyrian general Holofernes, result¬ing in the massacre of the Assyrians bythe Israelites. This subject received itsmost gruesome treatment in about 1620when Artemesia Gentilleschi painted bothJudith and her maid calmly sawingthrugh the neck of the surprised victimamidst a shower of blood. The late 19thcentury artists concentrated more on thewoman's delight in this decadent deed.4 -GREY CITY JOURNAL — FRIDAY 22 Ial things are important. The woman hasnow incorporated the realms of the mindand the body but they still occupy sepa¬rate spheres. She steps into the man's rolein the world of work, but at playtime she isa woman and she knows who the man re¬al ally is. And there is an implication in herstrip-teasish warblings that the eveningtransformation is a return to her real roleas a sex kitten; she may sometimes actlike a man but in essence she's a womancatering to man's pleasure.This picture of the liberated woman hasextracted two features from the women'smovement — women can like sex, womenr- can work — and retained the fracturingI'animalit'e (c. & ••••:. k*... //.

And,since the current economic situationforces many women to work, it is not workbut sexual freedom that is the true markof this “liberated woman."In today's omnipresent political back¬lash two types of women, with severalvariations and combinations, predominate: the co-opted version of the liberatedwoman, and the woman reasserting herbiological role as wife and mother in thenuclear family. Again women are definedby sexuality. We are not merely the ob¬servers but the inheritors of the traditionof which the femme fatale is a part., • *, *’•.*Fernand Khnopff, De*.*» * _ ’■ • i « *..LOME to luluKlimt's famous beauty (1901: Venice)seems to express a detached abandontowards an object that would normally in¬cite horror. In Franz von Stuck's 1926 ver¬sion Judith is shown holding an enormoussword, contemplating her sacred act.(Schwerin Museum).Salome was an even more popular fin-de-siecle saint, inaugurated by Heine'spoem Atta Troll (1841). Here, Salome, thedaughter of Herodias who demanded thehead of John the Baptist on a silver plat¬ter, went mad after seeing the severedsymbol of her love; she carried the headwith her and threw it in the air like a play¬thing. Her fervent kisses introduce a ne¬crophiliac orientation to this already de¬praved tale. In the biblical version(Matthew 14; Mark 6), when Salome de¬manded the head she was merely follow¬ing the instructions of her mother.Oscar Wilde greatly popularized thetheme in his Salome, written in French(1891-92), then translated into English byLord Alfred Douglas. Wilde was inspiredby Gustave Moreau's Apparition (1876:Luxembourg Museum), a water-color de¬scribed in Huysmans' novel of supremeaesthetic decadence A Rebours (1884).Moreau's Byzantine princess is engulfedby a splendid and magnificent vaulted in¬terior of enameled columns, lapus lazuliand sardonyz encrusted walls. During herexotic dance before King Herod, she al¬ready envisions the horrible head. InWilde's play, illustrated by AubreyBeardsley (shown in this exhibition), Sa¬lome demands the head of the Baptist whorefused to surrender his body to her. Sothe spiritual man, at least while on this earth, remains at the mercy of the lustfulfemme fatale.Wilde's rich and exotic imagery wasmasterfully adapted to the luscious post-Wagnerian Romanticism of RichardStrauss's Salome. His opera, whichopened in Dresden in 1905, caused a scan¬dal, just as Gustav Mahler predicted. Buta scandal, in modern art, quite frequentlyinsures success. Strauss's richly texturedscore admirably evokes Wilde's descrip¬tion of such passages as the king's mag¬nificent collection of white peacocks, andhis equally precious array of jewels whichHerod offered as substitutes for the head.(Wilde himself thought his play was somuch like a piece of music). At the end ofthe opera, we watch the depraved prin¬cess kiss the lips of the Baptist, then in anecstatic finale she proclaims: “Ah! Ichhabe deinen Mund gekusst, Jokanaan."whereupon Herod orders his men to crushher beneath their shields.Among the numerous examples of thesubject in painting, there are the moretame Salomes of Henri Regnault (1870)and Bocklin (1891) which take after Ren¬aissance and Baroque prototypes; thehighly mystical decapitation scene ofPuvis de Chavannes (1869) in which theBaptist kneels and faces the spectator insymmetrical Byzantine simplicity; thepastel by Lucient Levy Dhurmer (1896) inwhich Salome is embracing the head; thepainting in Leipzig by Lovis Corinth(1899) which shows Salome spreadingopen the saint's eye, and finally a moredecorative version executed by Franz vonStuck (c. 1906) where the daughter ofHerodias seems totally unaware of the silver platter which floats within an eeriehalo of blue light. One of the Salomes inthis exhibition was painted by the BelgianG.P. Livemont 1900-10. It shows the ra¬vishing virgin in a tender embrace withthe head, while a lion's head in the oppo¬site corner snarls in protest.Salome is the voluptuous sister of thevampire, another of the devastatingfleurs du nal. The British aesthete WalterPater described the forever abused MonaLisa (La Gioconda) by Leonardo in rathersinister terms: “She is older than therocks among which she sits; like the vam¬pire, she has been dead many times, andlearned the secrets of the grave; and hasbeen a diver in deep seas," etc. etc. Inpainting, Edward Munch's version in Oslois perhaps the most famous (c.1893). In aletter, the painter claimed it simply depicted a woman kissing her lover's neck,yet we are disturbed by the flowing redhair which streams across the face likedripping blood. This painting is a curiousreversal of the action in Robert Brown¬ing's poem Porphyria's Daughter (1842)in which the woman's pure blond hair becomes the instrument of her strangula¬tion.But the femme fatale will have her re¬venge. Sometimes she appeared as thetempting Siren who lured unwilling mento the depths of tempestuous seas. GustavKlimt depicted mask-like female facessurrounded by masses of purple speckledhair in The Sirens (c. 1889). The currentexhibition includes a study for The Sirenby Armand Point (1897). More often,woman was associated with serpent im¬agery, in particular with Medusa. Severalartists were inspired by Caravaggio's ter¬rifying Head of Medusa (Uffizi: 1596-98),especially Bocklin: Shield with the Headof Medusa of 1887, and Carlos Schwabe,whose same subject must be the most out¬rageous entry in the whole Smart Gallery-GREY CITY JOURNAL- show (1895). Fernand Khnopff's charcoaldrawing, The Blood of the Medusa (c.1895) should also be mentioned here.The Sphinx was the perfect embodi¬ment of the femme fatale because of herdual nature of the beautiful and the de-tructive. This mythological creature, fa¬miliar in ancient art as a feline with thehead of a woman, represented the earthyChimera: “She is a promise of the Ideal,with the body of a carnivorous beast"(Gustave Moreau). Moreau himself de¬picted the well known encounter of Oedi¬pus and the Sphinx (based on Ingres'sversion) in a painting in the MetropolitanMuseum dating 1864. Oedipus, like mod¬ern man, dared to confront this mercilessbeast in his continual quest to transcendthis earthly existence. Khnopff painted analmost charming tigress with a femalehead nudging the Greek hero in Art, orSweetness, or the Sphinx (1896: Brus¬sels), and the bizarre Jan Toorop, halfDutch-half Javanese, made a drawing(1892-97) composed of a procession ofdead bodies, swans and slaves carryingthe sphinx, against the background of aGothic cathedral, the Buddha and Egyp¬tian sculpture.Without mentioning other famousfemme fatales such as Flaubert's Salammbo, we move directly to Lulu, thedoll of the decadents. Lulu is the creationof Franz Wedekind; the story of her riseand fall is contained within his two plays,Erdgeist (1895) and Die Buchse der Pan¬dora (1905). Alban Berg immortalized herin the Expressionist opera Lulu, unfin¬ished at the composer's death in 1935, andnot performed with the completed 3rd actuntil 1978 in Paris. Lulu is perhaps themost innocent of all femme fatales, sim¬ply because she is a creature living out¬side any moral or ethical system. She isincapable of judgment or feeling, and likean Eve who remained naked in the Gar¬den of Eden, she has no ideas of sin orguilt. She reflects Klimt's Nuda Veritas(1899), which represents a frontal femalenude, at whose feet curls a slimy snake.In the opera Lulu is brought forth like aseductive Cleopatra on a litter, though atthe same time she is led by an animaltrainer, complete with whip and gun in acircus menagerie. Lulu is the enigmaticwoman — no one even knows where shecame from: “She was created for everyabuse, To allure and to poison and to se¬duce." (Erdgeist). Lulu spends her timelike the black widow spider, trappinghelpless male admirers. The young paint¬er Aiwa cuts his throat in despair; Luluforces Dr. Schon to break with his fiance',then mounts him like a hobby-horse in ademeaning romp across the stage. Afterseducing his son. Lulu kills the doctorwith a revolver, then reveals to her newlover that she poisoned his mother. In thesecond play the tables are turned, andLulu becomes the sacrificial beast to noneother than Jack the Ripper. Just asBerg's music represents the last spectac¬ular expression of late decadent Romanti¬cism, so Lulu was the final femme fatale.Her brutal murder brought at least a tem¬porary end to the power of earthly sensu¬ousness. In a sense, this could also be seenas the death of realism in the mainstreamof the arts.MAJOR REFERENCESDaffner, Hugo. Salome: ihre Gestalt inGeschichte und Kunst.

BroadwayFriday and Saturday 11 pmThrough June 6by LELAND CHAITSteppenwolf Theater opens its late nightplay series with Sam Shepard's Action.Shepard is best known for his work as afilm actor in Mallick's Days of Heaven,and most recently in Resurrection. He firstgained attention, however, for the shortplays that he reeled off for New York's ex¬perimental theater in the mid to late six¬ties. Most of their notoriety derived fromtheir rough ways: nudity, profanity, rockmusic, and drugs. Yet, Shepard's use ofAmerican slang that integrated the jargonof railroad work, sailing, space travel, andthe counter culture into poetic expression, began to draw attention. His later, moreambitious works, such as Suicide in bb,The Tooth of Crime, and Buried Child havedeveloped this glorification of the Ameri¬can idiom, and explored the joys and con¬fusion of American society.Action is like a tickling feather manipu¬lated at supersonic speed. The audience ishurled into fits of laughter, but thehumor's sharp edge leaves the skin redand raw.The play begins with four shapes crawl¬ing onto the dark stage illuminated only bythe intermittent blinking of the lights froma stunted Christmas tree. The lights go upto reveal two men and two women, ob¬viously down on their luck, possibly a fam¬ily, sitting at a table, sipping coffee. Thetwo men look exactly alike, except fortheir hair color. One of the women is haus-frau-like with curlers in her hair, no teeth,wearing furry bath shoes. The other is aprepubescent teenager with ratty hair and a whining voice. From this inelegant, butpeculiarly amusing beginning, the playfragments. Each character explodes intowords and then actions that examine theneeds and constraints of life. Words are allthis play really has. The set is almost bare,and the lighting changes are minimal. Theplay has no plot; it consists of the unfold¬ing awareness, the bringing to the light ofconsciousness for both the characters onstage and the audience, of their situation.This process of discovery does not have thering of the Shavian battle of the civilizedintellects. These characters scream, con¬vulse, scratch, and fight for every bit ofmeaning that they can create for them¬selves.They are in the process of discoveringtheir predicament, not working it throughor reconciling themselves to it.Jeep, Shooter, Liza, and Lupe live to¬gether, yet their physical proximity onlyenhances their actual spiritual isolationfrom one another. One by one, Shepard de¬stroys anything that can bring connectionto human beings. Most importantly, no onecan think in this play. All the charactersspeak of "having ideas" as somethingwonderful, but far in the past. They are allunpredictable, especially the men. One in¬stant Shooter or Jeep are paralyzed withfear, the next, they are self-confident cer¬tain that the future will be good to them. Ascarcity of food, clothing, and entertain¬ment make these characters struggle to beunselfish. Their attention spans are shortand shallow so that concentration and socommunication are impossible. Boredommakes them irasible (though we find thesequixotic creatures funny, bizarre, or dis¬turbed, anything but boring.) Their onlyconnection to the world outside their hovel,a book, is useless because no one can determine when they have left off reading before. So these people are not only isolatedemotionally, but they are stuck together,removed from past and future, from allhistory. Their world begins and ends inthat room.The more that they reflect upon their situation, the more agitated they become.What they yearn for most, a sense of com¬munity, they begin to remember. TheDARING BRECHT SUCCEEDSby RICHARD KAYE"Mother Courage and Her Children”would appear to be a play which wouldflounder or succeed terrifically dependingon the actress playing the lead role. Which,given the great difficulty of playingMother Courage, might leave this crucialtwentieth-century work without too manymemorable performances to its history.Luckily, there are enough other opportuni¬ties in the actors surrounding MotherCourage, and in the sheer song and spec¬tacle of Breachs play, so that "MotherCourage" is not too, too risky a theatricalventure. Wisdom Bridge Theatre's recentproduction of the play (directed by RobertFalls) has many fine things to offer, aswell as a few great ones, but it manages toreach its peak with a Mother Courage whois oqly sometimes very good.By the time most great actresses of thetheater get around to playing strong, olderfemale characters such as the heroine inBrecht's play, they've become "great la¬dies of the stage." They lack the "earthy",proletarian qualities which are at theheart of the woman who struggles to keepherself and her children surviving throughthe tumult of the Thirty Year War. And asEric Bentley has pointed out, they oftenlack the ability to convey a woman who isall contradiction, who fights to keep herfamily from the War's toll, but who contin¬ually profits from the armies who buy hergoods when she sets up camp during battle(Brecht's wife, actress Helene Weigel, is said to have played Courage most success¬fully, and it was not so much because shewas particularly proletarian, but rather,because of her appreciation of MotherCourage's combination of bravery and pet¬tiness). As Mother Courage in WidomBridge's production, actress Sonja Lan-zener, a Joseph Jefferson Award winnerfor best actress last year, is physicallyright for the role, but somehow without theintensity of a fully realized, firmly ren¬dered character. There are moments whenshe reacts splendidly, with animal-likecunning, when her brood are threatened,and then there are times when Lanzener issimpluy a cranky mother, forever crack¬ing wisecracks, and not especially inter esting. She might as well be just a gutsyhousewife, slightly annoyed at the decay ofthe neighborhood.What allows this version of "MotherCourage" to be a wonderfully cohesive,vital performance is a string of secondarycharacters who take on major proportions.You're not likely to see an actress as intelligent, or as delicately self possessed,as Glenne Headly, who never utters a wordas Mother Courage's daughter Kattrin, adeaf-mute. She plays a young, Dostoevskian innocent, and in the famous drumscene at the play's end when Kattrin wildlybeats a drum to warn a village of a comingattack before she herself is shot down, oneknows this is Brecht at its very best. HeadGREY CITY JOURNAL price of not being alone roars back to themShooter remembers that he learned of con¬nections larger than familial ones throughthe coercive use of the law: he was arrest¬ed and thrown in jail. Jeep is so confusedby the conflicts between his desires and hisobligations to others that he wants toescape by any means necessary. The community as we know it is no better than theisolation between it leads to isolation. Sothe mind shuts off, the instincts take over,and you just start moving says Shooter.The play suggests that these charactersare survivors of a nuclear holocaust andthat their isolation is due to this cata¬clysm. Yet, this is only hinted and somakes the setting of the play more plaus¬ible, it does not determine the play's mean¬ing. The scene is a parody of the Honey-mooners, a parody of a typical Americanfamily, most notably in the gender roles.The men carry on as childishly as theyplease, while the mother-figure cooks,cleans, and fetches, selflessly holding theentire situation together, without a pinchof observation. The matriarch is the hap¬piest and most peaceful character in theplay, but she must not think, and alwaysmove to maintain this posture. Herstrength derives from her ignorance. Theplay indicts a lifestyle in which people lookat books, but do not absorb the material, inwhich they speak to one another, but theydo not listen. In which their desires out¬strip their courage or capacity to satisfythem. These characters isolate them¬selves, but refuse to take responsibility forit and change their lives and their institu¬tions. Instead they move. Action becomesthe substitute for thought, for life itself.The Steppenwolf's production is excellent. Terry Kinney as Jeep is like a well-tuned engine. He cuts loose with amazingforce and speed, but is always in control.Don Moffet as Shooter has a powerful pre¬sense on stage that commands attentioneven while moping. His wounded cat per-sonna, always frightened, but all the moreangry because of it, is ideal for his role.Jeanine Morick's Lupe has an excellentpetulant quality. She does interestingplays shown in the city this year. It is wellworth the trip to see one of the country'sbest playwright's work done so well.ly has brought forth all of her talents atmime and doll like improvisation so thatthe scene works as the climactic flourish itwas meant to work as. Also wonderfulwere Frank Galati, the brooding Chaplainwho wanders about with Courage throughthe wars, and Audrie J. Neenan, the camphooker who gives the play the appropriateamount of vaudville, low-down goodhumor. Nearly all of the numbers are lov¬ingly orchestrated, with voices in tunewhen appropriate and off key when fitting.Tod Wheeler, as Mother Couarge's"heroic" son who goes off to battle and returns with honor, does a spectacular musi¬cal number. He becomes a general's favorite, and steals a one fine scene when hejumps atop a table and delivers a sweepinghymn to the wonders and virtues of war.As if taking Brecht's often reiterated belief, that the theater should remind us ofexactly where we are, as a cue, he dressesWheeler Jn modern day patch work clothing. In another scene, we find MotherCourage sitting in a lawn chair — (rightout of some Miami Beach hotel!) sets arechanged by actors before our eyes, while aanonymous voice calls out the change ofeach scene. Falls wants to "alienate" us,just as Brecht dictated, but the devices atkeeping the audience aware of the varioustheatrical tricks are never heavy handed.They keep us, as Brecht wished them to,from becoming sentimentally attached toMother Courage's brutal, sad tale. And de¬spite the self-conscious hocus pocus, themagnetism of Brecht's story and Fall'sshrewd direction win the audience over,making this a "Mother Courage" any theater would be pleased to boast of.F R I DAY 22 MAY 19816RETURN OF THECATMENby RENEE SARACKIWho can I turn to, where can I stayI heard there's a place that's open all nightand all dayThere's a place you can go where the copsdon't knowYou can act real wild, they don't treat youlike a child."Runaway Boys"The Stray CatsI have always believed that those wildrockabilly sounds that became a mild phe¬nomena in the late 50's were closest to thespirit of true rock 'n' roll than any otherform of pop music. This includes The Beat¬les and their countless offspring up to ThePistols and theirs. Rock 'n' roll was once awild and frenzied youth music, somethingadults feared and reviled. Most important¬ly rock 'n' roll carried with it the threat ofsome unknown danger. It was dirty, unpre¬dictable and about as mentionable in politesociety as veneral disease.The nation's ideal youths were all of sud¬den becoming transformed from clean,wholesome bobby soxers to leather cladcats. Originally anything that uncontroll¬able, that uninhibited as rock 'n' roll, wasalways associated with the black man.With the presence of Little Richard andChuck Berry on the early rock 'n' rollscene, the white middle-class mind had itssuspicions confirmed. (After all, Les Pauland Mary Ford would never sing aboutanything as vulgar as sex.) Or so theythought. For suddenly a poor white boyfrom Memphis, Tennessee arrived andsomething really "new" happened. ElvisAaron Presley successfully mergedrhythm 'n' blues with the lily-white soundsof country music and rockabilly was born.Elvis took the country by storm. Adoles¬cent females moaned and squealed wan¬tonly for this hellcat's touch, not to men¬tion his feel.As if this weren't bad enough, Elvisspawned a whole generation of hellbentwhite boys with over active body move¬ments and voices that would make evenDonna Summer blush for shame. FromBuddy Holly to Eddie Cochran, Americanteens were bopping til the break of dawn.Out of this crew of young hipsters came themost sexually exciting performer of hisday, Gene Vincent. Gene hit the charts in1957 with "Be Bop-A-Lula" and continuedwith a string of raunchy classics until theearly 60's when there was no longer roomfor Gene's brand of rock 'n' roll in thenewly cleaned and sanitized world ofAmerican pop music. Sweet Gene Vincentclad only in leather hiding a gimpy leg andpossessed with an uncontrollable lust forthe wilder side of life became a heroFRIDAY 22 MAY among Britain's legendary Teddy Boysbut was condemned to obscurity in his na¬tive land.Many of the new rockabilly rebels car¬ried on in that immortal "Hound Dog" tra¬dition in their music's treatment ofwomen. Gene Vincent's "Flea Brain" is aperfect of such treatment when Gene war¬bles,"There's a brand new lass, moved indown the blockShe's got a classy chassis and shev knows how to rockStacked just right from her head toher shoesShe acts like something that escapedfrom the zoo."While any modern day feminist would ob¬ject to such sexist treatment, Gene's viewof this woman as expressed at the end ofthe song as a "real hip kid" is as enlight¬ened as any 1980 male's I've met. So his vo¬cabulary is a little confused, let's notquibble over details. The fact is that theseartists gave many 50's females an outletfor repressed feelings once thought of asdirty. Rockabilly offered a freedom ofsorts from the pathetic routine of a clois¬tered suburban existence.As all good things must pass, rockabillyhas now become an entry in rock 'n' rollencylopaedias. You know the type: Rockabilly. (1) an obscure early form of rock'n' roll, popular among certain cultists inEngland, see also: Holly, Buddy. Wellwhat happened to rockabilly is whatalways happens: the bland, tasteless establishment wins. There was no room anylonger for energy or any pure unadulterat¬ed emotions among teens who now admired such wholesome youths as PatBoone, Fabian, Frankie Avalon and ugh! even Paul Anka. White American rock be¬came de sexed and never quite recovereduntil The Rolling Stones came over, imported from that great land across the At¬lantic.With the exception of Robert "I'm a coolcat” Gordon and a sprinkling of rockabillyinfluenced Tex-Mex groups comprisedsotey of B.O.F.s, no full-scale rockabillyrevival has yet to take place. The Rockatshave been playing modern rockabillythrough several personnel changes withlittle or very local New York support. Nowwith some new Brit members including meown fave, fiddler Snuffy Smith, some hotsongs including "Rockabilly Doll" andsome real cool clothes, The Rockats finallyseem primed for some sort of success.None of this seems possible without theamazing success rockabilly music andfashion has shown in Great Britain. Twoyears ago ex-New York rocker and Blood¬less Pharoah Brian Setzer changed hishairstyle, moved to England and formedwith fellow Americans Jim Phantom andLee Rocker a hip, stylish rockabilly band.The Stray Cats. The Cats with their em¬phasis on rockabilly style and culture soongraced the picture pages of every Englishrag. Pictures of Brian's magnificently po¬maded quiff and his snakeskin shoes soonappeared everywhere. The Stray Catswere a name in England before ever hav¬ing released a single. Soon more groupssprung up and just like the short-lived modrevival in England several years go, Lon¬don clubs are now full of groups withnames like The Polecats and Shaking Pyram ids.The Stray Cats have now released analbum and quite a good one.

The Stray Cats are a classic rock¬abilly trio composed of baby-faced BrianSetzer on guitar and lead vocals, LeeRocker on fiddle and Slim Jim. Phantombeating the skins. Except for a few embar¬rassingly bad attempts at social commen¬tary on the songs "Storm the Embassy"and "Rumble in Brighton" (the former isabout American hostages in Iran if you canbelieve it), almost every Cat original car¬ries with it the raw, primitive flavor of au¬thentic rockabilly. Best in this categoryare the slow, slinky, sexy, "Stray CatStrut" and the wild and fun "FishnetStockings." In choosing covers The Catscould have showed a little more imaginetion. By choosing such standard coverchoices as Dorsey Burnette's "My One De¬sire" or Eddie Cochran's "Jeannie, Jean-nie, Jeannie," The Cats have lost an oppor¬tunity to let young audiences discover thelost treasures of a Buddy Knox or a BillyLee Riley. Let's revitalize the past a littlemore boys.What The Stray Cats have done is to produce a debut album with nine hot numbersand one incredible tune that my single ofthe year so far, "Ubangi Stomp". Quite anachievement from a band once dismissedas just another pretty face. Granted, agood debut does not a great band make andThe Stray Cats and all their heirs will facea difficult task in the days to come as theyattempt to develop and change in a genrethat is in many ways a dead end. By itsown definition rockabilly is a music closedto any sort of change, held almost in bond¬age by past tenets. It is a music too steepedin its past traditions to ever really evolve.But within that tradition lie wonderful sur¬prises and it is up to this second generationof rockers to find them. And as for me, I'llalways have "Be Bop A-Lula" to playwhen the future looks too bleak.TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERSHard Promises Backstreet/MCATom Petty has one of the greatest voicesin rock, a gutteral sneer that can encom¬pass just about any emotion.

It walks the tightrope betweenpop and rock, changing the tempo fromcute harmony ballads, ("Insider," an un¬successful duet with Stevie Nicks) topumping rockers.

I thinkthey should be congratulated for the timeand effort they put into planning the much-needed conference.I felt disappointed that the gcj staff reporters who commented on the conferencecould only think of negative criticism.They focused on one question asked at theThursday night speeches rather thanpointing out the many interesting thingsdiscussed that night. I do not think that onequestion on the political climate's affect onwomen set the mood for the whole confer¬ence.The authors criticized the workshopsthey went to without saying which onesthose were. There were many workshopsthat were inspiring, thoughtful, and welldone. It is unfortunate that the authors im¬plied that most were poorly planned andpresented because they happened not tolike the ones they attended.Considering that this conference was thefirst on women at this university and thatthe organizers were new to such an under¬taking, we should not emphasize the factthat some things may not have come off aswell as expected. The organizers shouldhave been given encouragement andthanks for having provided a useful ser¬vice to this community.Criticism is to be expected but should begiven in such a manner as to say "Job welldone, but next time . .

Among other things, hisprogram would place a limit of $400 on perdiem reimbursments to hospitals for inpa¬tient care, eliminate non-emergency medi¬cal care to approximately 280,000 medicaidrecipients not poor enough to qualify forstate income assistance grants, require me¬dicaid patients to contribute from $1 to $3 forthe services they use, and place a ceiling onreimbursements to hospitals for five routineoperations, including child delivery and ton¬sillectomies.Benefits under the Illinois medicaid pro¬gram are “among the most generous in thenation,” according to Laurel Laughame, apublic information officer for the Illinois De¬partment of Public Aid. However, she said,Illinois’ medicaid eligibility requirementsfall “right in the middle” of those set byother states.One of the strongest objections to Thomp¬son’s proposals is that they would hit har¬dest those hospitals with high operatingcosts, primarily urban teaching hospitals,which must support doctor training func¬tions in addition to bearing the generallyhigher costs associated with serving a low-income urban population. “Eighty percentof (the cuts) are falling on eight teachinghospitals or medical centers in the city ofChicago,” Bray said. Michael Reese andChicago Osteopathic are among the otherlocal hospitals which will also be severelyaffected by the cuts, according to Bray.The state is “in effect dumping (the medi¬caid burden) on the private sector and ask¬ing it to absorb it,” Bray said of the Thomp¬son plan. “We don’t have any resources toabsorb $15 million in unreimbursed ex¬penses. We will simply have to cut back ouroperations.” If the cuts are approved, hesaid, the UCHC will have no choice “but tobecome smaller and not offer as many ser¬vices.”Bray also objects to the reduction in non-emergency care under the medicaid pro¬gram, arguing that “people denied routinecare will be very expensive to care forlater” if the state refuses to aid them untiltheir illnesses become acute.“We have not yet formulated the specificway that we will reduce our expenditures ifthe reductions are approved," Bray said. However, among the likely belt-tighteningmeasures are a reduction in the number ofclinics, longer waiting times, and sloweremergency room treatment. “In some caseswe will not be able to offer the variety of ser¬vices that we do now,” he said.Any reduction in services offered by theUCHC will add to an existing shortage ofmedical facilities on the city’s South Side,according to Jeff Goldsmith, director ofhealth planning and health regulatory af¬fairs for the Medical Center. “There’s afraction of the resources needed now,” hesaid, noting that the ghetto area corre¬sponds to an area of a shortage of physiciansand medical services. In addition, of thesmaller medical institutions in the city’sless affluent areas, “most of them were infinancial difficulty before these cuts,”Goldsmith said.Bray has actively fought both the Thomp¬son and Reagan plans for medicaid cuts,testifying before the Legislative AdvisoryCommittee on Public Aid in Springfield onApril 30, and the House Energy and Com¬merce Committee in Washington on March10. Currently, the fight against the state cuts“has our undivided attention.” He and otherhospital administrators have also lobbiedstate legislators in an effort to soften sup¬port for the Thompson proposals.“There is an argument to be made for anorderly approach toward reducing costs,”said Bray, who spent 10 years in the Officeof Management and Budget before comingto the University, but “this particular ap¬proach mystifies me.” “I cannot believethat (Governor Thompson) would have deli¬berately chosen an approach that would se¬verely erode if not destroy a very fragileinner city health care system.”“The issue is a very poignant one,” hesaid. “What we’re seeing is the beginningsof a retrenchment as to that group of peo¬ple” who have only recently been providedwith medical care which they otherwisecould not afford. “It raises some veryserious social questions.”Bray has been joined in his fight againstthe Thompson cuts by three local state legis¬lators, State Senator Richard Newhouse,and State Representatives Carol MoselyBraun and Barbara Flynn Currie. Ne¬whouse introduced a bill into the Senate yes¬terday that would achieve similar savings tothose Thompson has requested, but in a waywhich would not reduce services to as manymedicaid recipients. Newhouse said that hisbill would limit the maximum stay in thehospital paid for by medicare to approxi¬mately two weeks, except under special cir¬cumstances. Although such an approachmight ease the burden on many medicarerecipients, it is unlikely to protect UCHCfrom the budget cuts according to Golds¬mith. “If you lose the revenues you lose therevenues.” he said.Braun and Currie both blasted Thomp¬son’s proposal, saying that it would force thepoor into low-cost, low-quality hospitals. Byreducing funds for medicaid patients, Cur¬rie said, “what we do is to reward those hos¬pitals that do not serve the poor.” “I submitthat there are better ways to deal with cost-containment than to take it off the backs ofthe poor,” Braun said.Braun and Currie are both optimistic thatsome funds will be restored to the medicaidbudget before the appropriations processends in June. However, they said, the detailsof any changes must still be worked out, andthat no changes are assured of passage.The magnitude of the medicaid cuts is notlikely to affect construction of the new Uni¬versity hospital, according to Bray. Work onthe $70.2 million complex began last fall andis expected to be complete in 1983. The newhospital is financed by bonds which weresold before the medicaid buts were an¬nounced, and by private donations, Braysaid. In addition, he noted, the hospital wasdesigned to be flexible enough to meetchanges in its capacity. BiologyContinued from page 1rubric “Liberal Arts of Biology and Medi¬cine” do not necessarily lead to the realiza¬tion of this goal.’The Committee’s April 21 report statedthat “if that component of the programwhich is intended to provide a liberalizingeffect does not achieve this objective, thenthe emphasis on Human Biology seems to usto make of this program a kind of pre¬professional program in Medicine.”In discussing the perception of the pro¬gram, the committee report said that “if theeffect of this program, intended or not, willbe to create a premed program., then wemust have a forthright discussion of the de¬sirability of pre-professional programs inthe College.”The Committee’s second reservation waswhether or not it was necessary to create anew degree program in Biology. In discus¬sion following the Committee’s report, oneCouncil member noted that “all of thecourses, with the exception of those offeredby Dr. Getz himself, were already in the cir-riculum.”The third objection raised by the commit¬tee’s report was whether or not the new pro¬gram would meet its stated goals. “It seemsto your Committee that many individualcourses, as well as certain sequences in theLABM list, do not obviously further thegoals of a liberalized program in Biologyand Medicine. We wish to seek come clarifi¬cation about the rationale for the inclusionof some of these courses and the exclusion ofothers...We note also that nowhere in theprogram does there seem to be an opportu¬nity or necessity for a thematic attempt tointegrate the disparate studies in Human Bi¬ology and its relation to human affairs, aproblem which might be remedied by thedesign of a suitable senior seminar for thispurpose.”Discussion at the April 21 meeting of theCouncil centered on the issue of whether ornot the new Human Biology program wouldbe perceived as a pre-medical course ofstudy. Dr. Getz, the designer of the pro¬gram, asked if such a perception should nec¬essarily disqualify Human Biology as a pro¬gram the College should offer. He addedthat “regardless of how students perceive it,it should not be talked about or presented asa premedical program.”Asked at the April 21 meeting how theCommittee would define a premed pro¬gram, spokesman Hummel said “this pro¬gram looks like one, sounds like one, andfeels like one, which led us to conclude thatit is one.”A member of the Committee expressedhis fear about the perception of the new con¬centration program. “If the program inHuman Biology is seen to be the appropriatepremed track, then students will think ofthemselves as being at a disadvantage inthe competition if they do not go thisroute.. .One track will seem to be the premedtrack while the other will look like the aca¬demic track.”According to the minutes of the meeting,Dr. Getz indicated that his intention in de¬signing the program was not to make it apremed track. Getz defended the existenceof Human Biology as a separate program,saying that “it is easier to institutionalizecertain courses within a degree program,rather than as electives, ensuring that theywill be taught regularly.” In addition, hestated, a degree program serves to developa sense of student fellowship, and would pro¬vide its graduates with the academic cre¬dentials they could use in areas other thanmedicine, such as public policy and healthadministrationAccording to Lorna Straus, Dean of Stu¬dents in the College, Tuesday’s vote in favorof the proposed program was “veryclose.”“In the view of the majority present,” sheThe said, “these reservations weren’t enough toprevent a positive vote. Is it going to besomething the premeds say ‘Aha!’ at andjump in? Some people think so, I don’t. Butyou really can’t tell yet.”Dr. Getz was unavailable for comment,hence there were no further details of thenew program available at press time.WomenContinued from page 1pools of available candidates.”However, Caucus Chairperson StephanieStriffler claims that “the administration isnot making enough of an extra effort tomake up for the lack of women on the facul¬ty.” She faults the permissiveness of theagreement, which “does not require theLaw School to look as hard as it should forqualified women candidates.”Striffler emphasizes the fact that theCaucus does not want lower standards to beused in hiring women. “Any woman hiredshould be as qualified as any man that ishired,” she said.According to Striffler, the Caucus “iswriting to all the women alumni and askingfor suggestions of women who should be con¬sidered for faculty positions. That’s an ex¬ample of an effort we think the Universityshould have made in the past and didn’t.”There are few remaining channelsthrough which the Law Women’s Caucuscan force the Law School to adopt more ag¬gressive affirmative action measures.“What’s left for us to do is to file a manda¬mus action against the Labor Department(which oversees the OFCCP),” saidStriffler. “A mandamus is an action to forcethe government to do its duty.” According toStriffler, the Caucus is currently assessingthe practicality of pursuing such legal ac¬tion.Give everyNEWBORNtheadvantageMarch of DimesBirth Defects FoundationThis SPACE CONTRIBUTED The PUBU'ShERicago Maroon — Friday, May 22, 1981 — 21VIEWPOINTInfant Formula FollyBy Van B. WeigelAnti-regulation has become the Reaganadministration's battlecry against ineffi¬ciency, inflation and economic stagnation.If government can just get off the backs ofthe private seotor, then all will be well.Now anti-regulation has received an in¬ternational application. The Reagan ad¬ministration has decided to vote againstthe adoption of an advisory code concern¬ing the marketing of infant formula, whichis before the World Health Assembly.The implementation of the code is left upto each country; it does not have a regula¬tory status. But, nevertheless, it is a code;something — on the Reagan view — whichmust necessarily result in needless bureaucracy and inefficiency.If anything exemplifies the irrationalityof a blanket program of anti-regulation, itis this decision to vote against the code. Inrecent years the marked trend away frombreast-feeding in favor of bottle-feeding inthe Third World has alarmed nutritionistsand health officials alike. The decline ofbreast-feeding is related to the onset of ag¬gressive. often deceptive, marketing tech¬niques used by major infant formula man¬ufacturers.The social costs incurred by this declineare incalculable. Perhaps as many as 10million infants in the Third World areneedlessly afflicted with diarrheal dis¬ease, undernutrition and, sometimes,death, due to the decline of breast-feeding.Beyond the immense social costs of humanlife and suffering, Third W'orld countriesspent perhaps $100 million per year on im¬ported baby formula.The State Department argues that noproven link exists between baby formulaand infant health. Many nutritionists andfield studies in El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico and other countries disagree. A lit¬tle reflection on the matter is enough tosuggest that some relationship between ar¬tificial feeding and infant malnutritionexists. In the poverty stricken areas of theworld, illiteracy, contaminated water andlimited economic resources are among theunchanging realities of life. Mothers oftendo not have the resources to sterilize bot¬tles, to purchase the formula consistently,or to read the instructions. This tragiccombination of circumstances leads to thedilution of the formula, infection, the pre¬mature use of ‘adult’ weaning foods, unnu-tritious formula substitutes, etc. — all ad¬ding up to unwarranted infant morbidityand mortality.The World Health Organization(WHO)/UNICEF advisory code calls forthe cessation of all direct consumer adver¬tising by formula producers; it prohibitsthe distribution of free samples of formulaand ‘informational' promotional literaturethrough health care facilities; and thecode recommends that ‘medical represen¬tatives' and ‘milk nurses’ — on thepayrolls of formula manufacturers —should not work under the aegis of thehealth care system.The spirit of anti-regulation, whateverits virtues or vices, becomes an irrationalpolitical ideology when the benefits of reg¬ulation are manifest and, yet, consciouslyignored. In the face of the venomous mix¬ture of corporate irresponsibility, under¬development and unwarranted infant mor¬tality, the Reagan administration hassided with the ‘invisible hand’ of unres¬trained market forces; in this instance, ahand which deprives infants of health and,sometimes, of the gift of life itself.Van B.

The Reagan admin¬istration was justified in pointing out thatthe Carter administration gave too much attention to the Arab-Israeli conflict to the |detriment of other issues such as a Soviet |threat to the Gulf. But it is Israel, the jSaudis insist, rather than supposed Soviet ;designs on Saudi oil, that is their first con- icern. Given the State Department’s state- jment that ‘‘we cannot totally foreclose the \. . .use of U.S. equipment by Saudi Arabia jagainst Israel,” even though ‘‘the risk is ismall,” it would be unwise to gamble at 'the price of drawing the Saudis deep into jthe web of the Arab-Israeli dispute. The jAdministration, in its attempt to impose a ;globalist anti-Soviet view on an area in iwhich concerns are primarily regional, jwill frustrate the search for a comprehen- jsive Arab-Israeli peace and inject further jinstability into a troubled region.Daniel Brum berg is a graduate stu¬dent in Political Science.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOSUPER SUMMER SPORTS COREArchery, basketball, floor hockey, gymnastics, racquetball,soccer, softball, swimming, table tennis, tennis, track for 8-13year olds.two three-week sessionsJune 22-July 9 $150.00July 1 3-July 30 ' $150.00Sessions four times a weekMon thru Thurs 9 00 a m to 1 00 p mSUPER SUMMER BASKETBALL CAMPFeaturing conditioning, individual skills, team play for12-16 year olds.one session only.June 22-July 9 $80.00Sessions four times a week:Mon thru Thurs. 1:30 p.m to 3:00 p.m.For reservation form:Write: Bartlett GymnasiumSuper Summer Sports Programs5640 S.

Habib, will seek “a returnto the status quo ante” which “must be de¬fined explicitly.” Such an agreement, Bind¬er said, would involve the replacement ofSyrian army forces in Mount Sannine andj interposing Lebanese forces between theJ Christian Phalanges and the Syrians, whilej the missiles would be retained at their pres-j ent site.The major difference in a new agreementj would be whether Israeli flights over Leban-! on would have to be restructed.“That situation would be embarrassing to, Begin,” Binder said, “but it would result in| reducing some of the pressure on the Pha-: langes.”“The Israeli military have not indicated: their attitude toward a settlement,” Binderj said, “but they have been disturbed byBegin’s statements revealing some aspectsj of military tactics, which they consider aI breach of security. The Israeli reactionI must be determined on whether the military| can take action without heavy losses. Other-j wise, the military might ask whether it isworth it.”Another factor influencing the prospectsfor peace is the elections to take place inIsrael on June 30. Heavy losses immediatelypreceding the election would damageBegin’s popularity, Binder said. On theother hand, “If the Israelis compromise, itis inevitable that there will be some loss ofprestige for Mr. Begin, and that might im¬ prove the Labor Alignment’s position in theelection,” possibly guaranteeing a primeminister of that party.“If Begin had continued with his hard lineresponse,” Binder said, “it would not havebeen solely due to the placement of the mis¬siles.“The original hard line,” Binder said,“was directed at influencing the electorate.In backing off from confrontation, Beginmay lose the benefits of his sudden jump inpopularity.”“When political pressures are off (afterthe elections) we may see a more conciliato¬ry mood. It depends on what the Christiansand Syrians do,” Binder said. “The Pales¬tinians do not want to provoke an Israeli at¬tack against their forces,” he said, “be¬cause if they move in, it will be a long timebefore they move out.”“The Christians moving into the SannineHeights have challenged the (former) situa¬tion and would like to see the Israelis andSyrians fighting.” The objective of thisstrategy, Binder said, would be “a partitionof Lebanon. This could only be achieved byforce of Israeli arms.”In a column appearing in Tuesday’s Chi¬cago Sun-Times Binder criticized the Rea¬gan administration for “encouraging a ‘for¬ward’ Israeli policy while, paradoxically,praising the Syrian role in Lebanon. “Per¬haps we had better realize that we cannotcontinuously postpone the rough decisions.In particular, we shall have to decide on therelative priority of the Persian Gulf and Le¬banon, lest our policy in one generate self¬defeat in the other.”THE HYDE PARKVIDEOMOVIECENTER1605 E. 55th (next to Morry's Deli)M-Thur. 10-6 288-3600Friday 10-9Sat. 10-6video Atari Games,Recorders, Movies,Accessories,Giant T.

Marxist revolutionary forcesalways fight in the name of reform and jus¬tice, but their track record stinks. Alreadywell experienced in arms trade in Africaand Asia, the Soviets are bargaining for po¬litical power in El Salvador by supplying thecommunist guerillas with arms. Commu¬nists share a common world view that hasappealed to some of the frustrated El Sal¬vadorans: they see El Salvador as just partof the world struggle against capitalism andimperialism of which the United States isthe ultimate target. Mr. McWhorter andthose who think this is fabricated by right-wing reactionaries would do well to verifythis point of view by perusing the militantcommunist periodicals found on the 2ndfloor of Regenstein Library. Though the United States has many short¬comings. there should be little doubt that thepotential for realizing greater freedom, dig¬nity, and human rights is best served by ex¬pressing balanced constructive criticismdirected at improving and promoting freeinstitutions and democratic ways than byany naive endorsement or sympathy withforces that are likely to lead to totalitariani¬sm Idealism is a virtue that needs to be-tempered by facing realities. If anyoneimagines that greater human rights, free¬dom, or opportunity exist in any of the“workers paradises” of the Soviet bloc thanin the West, you owe it to yourself to take aleave of absence from the University and goon a world tour Visiting Nicaraqua, Gren¬ada.
