Byrneaddressed a packed audiencepacked in Breasted Hall of the Ori¬ental Institute Thursday about thefuture of the City of Chicago. Afterher opening remarks, Byrne an¬swered questions from the inquisi¬tive crowd on her policies, hercampaign, and her record asmayor.In her opening remarks, Byrnenoted the issuing of a 10-year de¬velopment plan for the city. Shealso told of transportation plans forthe city, including the extension ofthe CTA rapid transit lines toO’Hare Airport and the construc¬tion of a new rapid transit line toMidway Airport on the city’s south¬west side She stated that the cityis once again making plans forNorth Loop development, whichshe believes is a key part of thecity’s development.Following her brief remarks,Byrne was asked a series of ques¬tions on a variety of subjects by theaudience.One issue on which Byrne wasquestioned was the inclusion ofwomen in city government. Byrnementioned several women appoin¬tees of her administration, notingthat she placed Lenora Cartwrightas the commissioner of the city’sHuman Services Department. Shehas also been responsible forMarie Cummings being named tothe Fine Arts Council and SallyBerger being named to the LibraryBoard. Byrne was instrumental inmaking Ruth Love superintendentof public schools.Despite these appointments, op¬ponents of the mayor have beencritical of her appointment recordof women. They note that most ofthe notable appointments havebeen to “sex-role stereotypes’’ po¬sitions, but not in any of the morepowerful offices of the city govern¬ment. Supporters of State AttorneyRichard Daley say that he has amore favorable record on women’sissues than Byrne. As evidence,they note Daley’s efforts as a statesenator to eliminate the state salestax on food and medicine. Further¬ more, Daley has placed a womanin charge of the states attorney’sjuvenile division, and he has beenpraised for his work in prosecutingdomestic violence cases. Repre¬sentative Harold Washington hasalso been praised on his record ofliberalism on social programs,which have been seen as helpingworking-class and poor women.The mayor was also asked abouther budget actions during the fouryears of her administration. Byrnestated that she came into officefacing a $110 million deficit, andsevere cash crises in the schoolboard and the CTA. She added thatshe was able to eliminate the defi¬cit and also cut taxes this year.Many of the mayor’s criticswould question her statement onthe deficit and her claim to havecut taxes this year. They maintainthat the budget deficit was proba¬bly closer to $40-$80 million. Byrnehas also been criticized for imply¬ing that she has reformed the fi¬nances of the school board and theCTA, as these are governing agen¬cies separate from city govern¬ment. Fifth Ward Alderman LarryBloom, a frequent critic of themayor, believes that her claim tohave cut taxes this year was “ri¬diculous’’ as property taxes werecut $22 million, but other city taxesand fees have been raised by wellover $100 million in the presentbudget.Byrne, after an appearance atthe Quadrangle Club, answered aMaroon question about a possibleconflict of interest in the city utilityiax revenue. The city’s utility taxrevenue is the second largestsource of revenue for Chicago'sgovernment and is usually as¬sessed by an approximately eightpercent tax on utility fees. In re¬sponse to the question, she statedthat she did not feel that the cityfaced a conflict of interest in de¬fending residents of Chicago atrate increase hearings, adding thatthe city always fights rate in¬creases.But her opponents dispute this.Alderman Bloom stated that in thepast, the city has “convenientlylost” rate increase appeals, andthat, in the past, the city has bud-Man arrested for murderBy Kathryn KleimanHyde Park resident HerbertCammon, Jr., 31, faces trial in theApril 27 murder of his wife, CarolDenmark Cammon.Last April, police began investi¬gating the stabbing of Carol Cam¬mon, 39. Cammon, an entertainerand a fashion consultant for Ebonymagazine, lived with her husbandat 1451 E. 55th St. The couple had*been married two weeks prior toher death.Herbert Cammon notified policeof the murder at 9:59 p.m., claim¬ing that he had left her alone in theapartment two hours before. Po¬lice found no signs of forced entryor robbery. Bob Mason of the Southeast Chicago Commission,however, said that the crime hadbeen “made to look like" a sexualattack. The woman had been stran¬gled and stabbed in the mouth andneck.Recent information has led toCammon’s indictment. State’s At¬torney James Linn reported thattwo weeks ago, Cammon claimedthe benefits of his wife’s $250,000life insurance policy, which hadbeen purchased two weeks beforethe marriage. Further evidencewas gathered by Detective DavidO’Callaghan of the Area One Vio¬lent Crimes Unit, from Cammon’sassociates across country.The trial date is set for Feb. 2. geted for the increased revenuesresulting from increased utilityrates. Bloom believes that the city-can not be a defender for public in¬terest in utility rate increases andalso expects the rate increases tobalance the city budget.Answering another Maroonquestion, Byrne stated that shedidn’t know if she would support acity ordinance which would re¬quire public notification of all city-jobs.Currently, there are approxi¬mately 40,000 city jobs, of which,30,000 are full-time career servicejobs. Another 10,000 are termed“departmental employment ser¬vice’’ jobs. The full-time careerjobs require public notification ofopenings, but the “departmental employment service” jobs do not.Opponents of Byrne state that thislack of notification for the “depart¬mental employment service” con¬tradicts her claim that patronage.has diminished to a small level inChicago, as the jobs which are notpublicized could be rifled by thosepolitically favorable to the currentcity administration.One questioner asked the mayorabout a rent appeal board in Chi¬cago. The mayor stated that shedid not believe in rent control, andhas not seen an ordinance requir¬ing the establishment of a commis¬sion to hold hearings on possiblerent-gouging as it has been in a citycouncil committee since Oct. 15.Continued on page 20 Mayor Jane ByrneWinter festival kicks off MondayBy Kathleeen Lindenberger“Winter Festival.” a week-longseries of events on campus, willbegin next week Jan. 17 and willrun through Jan. 23.The offices of College Orienta¬tion and Student Activities haveplanned a week of “up-front frivoli¬ty,” said Sonia Jacobson, directorof College Orientation The ulti¬mate goal of the festival is to im¬prove the quality of life in the Col¬lege, and towards that end, theplanners have scheduled trips,contests, concerts, and more.“The week will be a festival ofwinter intended to draw out thosestudents who frequently complain,‘there is nothing to do here,’ ” saidJacobson, “and to make thisWinter Quarter memorable formore than the bitter wind on theMidway.”To enable students to enjoy thefestival more fully, Dean of theCollege Donald Levine has urgedprofessors to “ease up” on stu¬dents. Levine has proposed thatthe faculty cancel classes or lessenassignments for that Friday andthat they not schedule any paperassignments or exams for the fol¬ lowing Monday, so that studentsmay enjoy a much needed breakfrom the intensity of study here.Many students in the Collegehave participated in past “WinterWeekends” in Green Lake, Wis¬consin, a yearly weekend of escapefor freshmen. Jacobson said, “Asmuch as we all enjoyed the tradi¬tional winter camp at Green Lake,the decision not to return wasmade for two reasons: three yearsof bad weather, and the hope thatwe will have greater overall Col¬lege participation if we remainhere on campus.”While hurrying through theQuadrangles this past week, manystudents may have seen the latestaddition to the two trees whichtower high above the sidewalk onthe way to Cobb: the “Kuviasung-nerk” banner. No, this is not amorning wake up call. It is thetheme for the winter festival. Noone, except, of course, the spon¬sors, knows the actual meaning ofthis neologism, but if any wouldcare to speculate, there will be anessay contest in which some cre¬ative U of C student can fashion hisor her own peculiar conception ofthe coinage. The winner, chosenPHOTO BY ARA JELALIANThe sign stretched across two trees in the quads reminds stu¬dents that the winter festival is approaching. “Kuviasungnerk”is supposed to be the theme of the festival. for his or her creativity, will win aweekend of “escape to someplacesunny” said Jacobson. This stu¬dent will choose two others to ac¬company him or her on a vacationwhich will begin on the Friday af¬ternoon after the judging and willend the following Sunday.This winter theme will also ex¬press itself in an art contest forwhich some artistic individual wiliwin a cash prize. All of the entrieswill be on display in the Harper Li¬brary building.What will be hailed as a morningwake up call is “Kangeiko.” a Jap¬anese winter training program in¬cluding sunrise trips to the lakeand the Japanese garden, and awinter fitness program at the FieldHouse. Dean Levine will sponsorthe old Samurai tradition whichwill also earn IM points for com¬petitive houses. Ranging frommartial arts to weight training andvolleyball, the program will beginat 6:45 a.m. each morning and willculminate in a surprise event to beannounced Friday. There will betransportation to Henry Crown forstudents who must commute fromthe Shoreland or from Burton Jud-son.Noontime cultural concerts willtake place in the Reynolds ClubNorth Lounge which will featuresuch artists as noted percussionistEddie Mason Tuesday, Jan 18.These concerts will feature a widerange of artists who will bring to¬gether a whole sereis of musicaltraditions.Fireside readings in Ida Noyesat 4:30 p.m. will be held each daywith professors reciting worksfrom such authors as Joyce. Shaw,Yeats and Hans Christian Ander¬son. These winter-themed writingswill represent many different cul¬tures.For the psycho-physical theatreenthusiasts, the Facets Perfor¬mance Ensemble will dramat¬ically and musically present“Winter Parables,” a poetical re¬presentation. This exhibition willtake place after a bonfire in HutchCourt Thursday evening.Continued on page 20KUVIASUNGNERKAnnounces An Art ContestFor College StudentsWorks Of Art May Be In Any MediumExpressing A “Winter” Theme.$$ CASH PRIZES $$ENTRIES DUE NO LATER THANTHURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 5:00 P.M.HARPER 281Winner AnnouncedFriday, January 21, NoonReynolds Club LoungeArt Works Will Be ExhibitedHarper Library - Second Floor BCGCORPORATE STRATEGYThe Boston Consulting Group is accepting applications from 1983graduates for the position of research associate.BCG has a two year Associates’ Program designed for individualswith bachelor’s degrees interested in business careers. • Thisprogram provides training and experience which can maximize thevalue of subsequent graduate education or lead to professionalresponsibilities. • Selection criteria include superior academicperformance, quantitative and communication skills, and leadershippotential. • Compensation is competitive with best offers in theindustry.Those interested should attend an information session hosted bymembers of The BCG Associate staff on Wednesday January 19,from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m., at the Reynolds Club Building in room 100.To apply for this program, please send resume, cover letter, collegetranscript, SAT scores, GMAT/LSAT scores to:Leslie ColisThe Boston Consulting Group, Inc.200 South Wacker DriveChicago, Illinois 60606BOSTON CHICAGO LOS ANGELES SAN FRANCISCOPARIS DUSSELDORF MUNICH TOKYO LONDONTHE NEW PUBIDA NOYES HALL - LOWER LEVEL•8 Tap Beers•15 Bottled Imports•Big Screen TV•Imported & Domestic Wines •Medici Pizza•Stiglmeir Sausages•Tortilla Chips•Video GamesSPECIAL MEMBERSHIP WEEKMONDAY, JAN. 17 - SAT., JAN. 22-Buy a membership ($2.00 for the rest of the quarter)and get A FREE TAP BEER-Buy memberships in the Student Activities Office(Ida Noyes, 2nd fl.) 9 am - 5 pm Mon.-Fri.

Cessation of registration, however,causes sources of educational loans for at¬tendance at a particular university to beginassessing interest and payments.The University hopes to bypass these dif¬ficulties by allowing students to maintainregistration here, Sinaiko said, “in readingclasses if nothing else.”It is not clear whether financial aid fromthe University will be available for the pilotprogram to Italy. Sinaiko attributed this inpart to a similar uncertainty by BrownUniversity officials.Model UN selectionDue to the high level of interest in the up¬coming Midwest Model United Nations in St.Louis, the University of Chicago Model Unit¬ ed Nations Organization (UCMUNO) willhold a competition to determine the mostqualified individuals to represent the Uni¬versity.The competition will judge individuals ontheir knowledge of international relations,ability to communicate effectively, debat¬ing skills and general experience in pre¬vious Model UNs.

The meeting will be held at 2p.m. Sunday, Jan. 16, at the Pioneer CoopMeeting Room, 5427 S. Dorchester.All announced aldermanic candidatesfrom the 4th and 5th Wards have been invit¬ed to give opinions on the package.Mayoral candidates Harold Washingtonand Richard Daley pledged support for theordinances at the Dec. 18 meeting of theMetropolitan Tenants’ Organization. MayorJane Byrne, not present at the meeting,later refused to endorse the package.The package includes tenant rights to re¬pair and deduct, protection from retaliatoryeviction by landlords and outlawing alleged¬ly unfair lease provisions.

Students who registerMonday will be eligible to vote in the upcom¬ing municipal elections. Students may alsoregister on precinct registration day, Jan.25.Students in the past have made an impactin local elections. The past two aldermanicelections hve been decided by about 200votes, and Fifth Ward Alderman LarryBloom has credited his 1979 victory to thevote of U of C students. Students may alsohave an impact on the upcoming mayoralelections. In 1979, Jane Byrne defeated Mi¬chael Bilandic by just 16,000 vpotes out ofover 800,000 votes cast in the Democraticmayoral primary. The 1983 Democraticmayoral primary may prove to be closerthan the 1979 one w-as, and the votes of cur¬rently unregistered U of C students, esti¬mated by some to be about 5000, may makedifference in the mayoral race.Fifth Ward Republican CommitteemanOwen Pulver is encouraging Republicanstudents to register and vote in the upcom¬ing mayoral election, as he believes that theRepublican Party, and its candidate Ber¬nard Epton, have a good chance to capturethe mayor’s office from the split Demo¬crats. Pulver is also in need of electionjudges, noting the lack of 38 Republicanelection judges in the ward. Republicanswho register in the Fifth Ward can serve aselection judges, collecting about $50 per dayfor their services.

We encourage all students to be a part of this electionprocess.City officers, with their impact on city services, probably have more influenceon students in their lives at Chicago than any other government official. Cityofficials determine issues on public transportation, safety, parks, street clean¬ing, maintenance, and other things. Examples of city officials working in theseareas include the lowering of IC fares, the cooperation of Chicago police with Uof C security in patrolling Hyde Park, the increase of service on the Jefferyexpress, the maintenance of local parks and the lakefront. and other construc¬tion projects such as street and sewer repair currently going on in HydePark.The votes of U of C students, if registered, will have a strong impact on theupcoming elections. The races in the Fourth and Fifth Wards could be close andstudent votes could determine the outcome of the races, as they did in the 1979Fifth Ward race.Furthermore, the upcoming Democratic mayoral primary should be closerthan the election in 1979 when Jane Byrne defeated Michael Bilandic by just16,000 votes. The votes of currently unregistered U of C students, estimated to beas high as 5000, could determine the results of this mayoral primary. Republicanstudents should do well to register also, for Fifth Ward Republican BernardEpton is making one of the most serious efforts in years to bring Republicansinto Chicago city government.Students who register for the upcoming municipal elections may eitherchange their registration after the election to vote in their home states in the fallor they may keep their Chicago registrations for the duration of their residencein Chicago. Whatever a student may do, we strongly encourage registration forthe non-partisan aldermanic elections and the mayoral general elections.LettersCAUSE refutedTo the editor:Please print this brief response toCAUSE'S ridiculously biased El Salvadorpolemic.• Human rights and the numbers game:CAUSE categorically states that 36.000 peo¬ple have been killed by the government overthe past three years.How many died as a result of civil strife,as opposed to terrorism? The country is en¬gaged in a civil war. Bullets fly. People getkilled. This is not an excuse for killing, but itis different from a Stalinist purge.How accurate are the numbers? Nosource is given for the total number ofdeaths, although the Catholic Church doesclaim that the majority of those deaths thatdid take place are attributable to theRight.What do the numbers mean? Even ifCAUSE’S figures were correct, how wouldthey compare with the number of innocentswho would die if there were no arm to re¬strain the rebels? If a Cuban supported dic¬tatorship took power? If, in the absence of aSovereign Power, the country were thrustinto a hobbesian “state of nature?” Evenwith the attending evils, it is quite possiblethat military aid to El Salvador helps morethan it hurts.• Opinions and the numbers game: bywhat charlatanry does CAUSE claim to rep¬ resent "the majority of us at the U. ofC?”No valid referendum was ever held. Theynever asked me or any person I know of fora statement of support.Petition totals are invalid for representa¬tional purposes:(1) people sign for a variety of reasons,and(2) the wording of questions often influ¬ences the signer.Therefore, no one can claim to speak forthe “majority of us.”• Right v. Wrong: although human rightsare one consideration of foreign and defensepolicy, they are not the only consideration(despite what Jimmy Carter and Andrew-Young may think), it is legitimate for apower to pursue its interests (eg. preventingan increase in Fidel Castro’s influence,keeping leftists away from Mexico's olfields, etc...). China practices horrendoushuman rights violations and yet, because ofits geostrategic situation, we must continueto foster good relations with her.The book on El Salvador is still open: therights question is unsettled and, indepen¬dently, the benefits to the US of US policythere may outweigh the harm to the Salva¬dorans, at least from the American point ofview.James GeolyFirst year studentin the law schoolThe Chicago MaroonThe Chicago Maroon is the official student newspaper of the University of Chicago.

It is especial¬ly crucial that this be printed to reach thesame audience, given the timing of your edi¬torial, i.e., just as we are gathering muchneeded publicity due to our power in¬crease.WHPK does have its weaknesses, but youreditorial, "Some Sound Advice”, does thestation a disservice. Although we believeyour remarks were, at base, written withgood intentions, they failed to escape thatubiquitous quality of college and universitynewspapers: sophomoric writing. In thetrue sense of the word, your opinions displayconceit and overconfidence in knowledge,yet are poorly informed and immature( Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary).WHPK is staffed entirely by volunteers.Far from financial recompense, these vol¬unteers pay annual membership dues sothat albums can be purchased, and the sta¬tion in general can be kept in stock of mate¬rial. WHPK makes a conscientious effort tomaintain a free radio format, giving its 61deejays the widest possible latitude in theirprogramming — within legal limits. Thisliberty allows the deejays, who have morethan simply a passing interest in the musicof their chosen format, to select what theyfeel to be the best available from an aesthet¬ic and/or historical perspective — notchoosing according to commericial dictates.For this reason, WHPK offers one of, if notthe best resource for New Wave rock andavant-garde jazz on Chicago radio. Our out¬standing jazz and blues library allows us toair some of the most diverse, rare, and highquality programming on an consistentweekly basis. The jazz staff has a steady lis¬tening audience in the community, and fre¬quently receives requests and praise fromsome of Chicago’s recording artists residingon the South Side.In addition to New Wave, jazz, and blues,we also feature regular classical, folk, r & b,and avant-garde shows, as well as public af¬fairs programs, UC sports coverage, andlive broadcast performances of the Univer¬sity of Chicago Symphony. Some of our pro¬grams have earned notoriety, such as bluesmusician Dave Waldman’s “Evil Show,” aprogram of Chicago blues with a tremen¬dous local listenership. Louis Kaplan’s“Spoken Words” is avant-garde programm¬ing of his own live and partially spontateousstudio creation, and although it demandscareful listening, is a refreshing break in theusual drone of muzak saturated air-waves.Interviews in the past year have included(most recently), Douglas Ewart, Presidentof the influential avant-garde and Chicago-based Association for the Advancement ofCreative Musicians (AACM), the Flesh-tones, Philip Glass, John Mayall and theBluesbreakers, including Mick Taylor, for¬merly of the Rolling Stones, and JohnMe Vie, fifteen-year veteran of FleetwoodMac, and Famoudou Don Moye of The ArtEnsemble of Chicago, as well as New Wavelive broadcasts from northside clubs.All in all, the University of Chicago’s pub¬lic radio station offers its listeners a multi¬faceted selection of historical and up-to-the- from WHPKweek new releases in all departments. Yourstatement concerning sleepy deejays and“just plain dumb programming” gives a pa¬tently false impression of general incompe¬tence. Because this is a student-run station,it is a bit more vulnerable to a lack of profes¬sional expertise, but in a world where, asone of us heard a musician remark in an in¬terview, college and university stationsoffer the best music available on the radiodial due to choices being made by true afi¬cionados rather than commercial stationprogram directors, the University can beproud of its distinctive radio station and itsfollowing. The diversity of programminghas attracted a diverse audience. We areanxious and proud to see our station gainaccess to broadcast power unprecedented inits history, thus sending our programs to alarger audience than ever before.Your suggestion that we at WHPK con¬sider an informal mentor-protege relation¬ship with WBEZ, is, we again believe, madewith honest intentions, but again suffersfrom a lack of practical consideration.WBEZ is a fine radio station and it deservesthe city’s praise, but just as anything welldone is admired and certain ideas are assi¬milated into one’s thinking, distinctionsmust be made. The objectives of WHPKcannot necessarily be the same as those ofWBEZ, just as the objectives of The ChicagoMaroon cannot be the same as those of theChicago Tribune or The New York Times.WBEZ is a high-dollar sophisticated opera¬tion that features syndicated programs pro¬duced and distributed by National PublicRadio, and funded from sponsorships ofmany thousands of dollars, not to mentionthe city-wide financial support that WBEZitself receives. We, in contrast, are on avery low budget and have no paid staff,which means that every member of the sta¬tion has other, often more demanding priori¬ties, most notably those of student and/orpart of full-time employee. The most we canexpect from our volunteers is that they viewtheir membership as a serious avocationand an opportunity to participate in some¬thing constructive, informative, relaxing,and gratifying.Constructive criticism is always wel¬come. It is, in fact, solicited, as are inquiriesabout membership and programming ideas.No doubt your editorial will make some of usa little more self-conscious of our on-the-airpresence, (some need to be), but we can'thelp but feel that you began your projectwith a lack of basic information on the na¬ture of our operations. Your ideas would bemuch more accessible and helpful if put in aconstructive format rather than in theempty rhetorical style mentioned in ouropening paragraph.A final note. You made sweeping compari¬sons of WHPK to Northwestern’s WNURwhich broadcasts at well over 5000 watts,maintains a broadcast school and thereforerecejives much financial support, (com¬pared to WHPK which currently broadcastsat ten watts, and a projected 100 watts), andCircle’s WUIC. WUIC has been off the airfor over a year now.Steve JohnsonJosh MurphyMarc MosesJosh StrausWHPK jazz staffViewpointsThe truth or my truth: the debate continuesBy Tom PowersI am heartened to see something both so serious and out¬rageous as David Brooks’ defense of relativism (“To AllanBloom: we’re not empty, just self centered,” Jan. 7, 1983;appear in the pages of The Chicago Maroon. The view thatdiscussion of such fundamental questions should be con¬fined to the classroom or obscure journals for fear of em¬barrassing oneself or appearing pretentious is one whichreflects an ignorance of the questions themselves.Mr. Brooks' article was his response to a piece by AllanBloom in the National Review (“Our Listless Universities,”Dec. 10, 1982), in which Mr. Bloom takes to task culturalrelativism and the American University which has evolvedunder its easygoing reign. Mr. Brooks agrees that, as heputs it, “students here receive a eunuch education,” onewhich is afraid to provoke or challenge students to formu¬late their own views. But at the same time Mr. Brooksupholds the cause of relativism. In answer to Mr. Bloom’scharge that this “easygoing kind of American nihilism" hasmade us blind to crucial questions about our lives, Mr.Brooks invokes “the depth of our emotions and the profun¬dity of our curiosities” which he says Mr. Bloom over¬looked. By exploring emotion and curiosity as alternativesto seeking truth through reason one quickly sees that rela¬tivists are on weak ground. But what is more importantabout Mr. Brooks’ article is that in it he neglects to look atthe nature or the implications of relativism.The basis for relativism lies in a disdain for insisting thtsomething — anything — is true. Mr. Brooks lets us in onthis feeling: “faced with the awful complexity of the world,we find it absurdly presumptuous to tell a man who has re¬sponded to our longings in a different way that he is wrongand we are right.” And not only presumptuous: it justseems silly telling somebody “the way it is.” Does thismean that we should forget about truth altogether? No, ac¬cording to Mr. Brooks who says that relativism “doesn’t de¬stroy moral rules or the notions of good and evil, or evenGod. It merely takes those beliefs. . .and makes them mat¬ters of private concern.” This private search approach tolife affirms the importance of truth but only as somethingrelated to personal circumstances, experiences, cultural in¬fluences, and, as some suggest, genetic make-up.To say that truth does exist, but only as something rela¬tive to one’s particular circumstances, is to ignore the ul¬timate extension of relativist thought to its nihilistic conclu¬sion. Mr. Bloom is on target when he says that relativistslike Mr. Brooks adhere to “an easygoing American kind ofnihilism.” Relativism claims that all personal or culturalviews are legitimate (even conflicting views), but only tothe individual person or culture. Relativism can only betrue if there are no absolutely true answers to the questionsabout man and his world with which we continually strug¬gle. Indeed, relativism begins with the idea that everybodymay do as he pleases and in this lies the notion that no oneway of living is any better than any other. This is the sameas saying that, in and of itself, life has no true worth whatso¬ever. Relativism is really nihilism, maintaining that the an¬swers we come up with are, at bottom, aimed solely at help¬ing us and our culture survive and prosper. Relativists are“easygoing,” or to look at it another way, cowardly, in thatthey accept the lack of truth in the world and get on by say¬ing that they can still be happy in the reality that they andtheir culture have created. As Mr. Bloom says, this is “ni¬hilism without the terror of the abyss.”But perhaps I am jumping the gun. Mr. Brooks did posit“indominable human curiosity” and the “depths of ouremotions” as answers to those who criticize relativism. Un¬fortunately Mr. Brooks only invokes the name of God orsome philosopher and gives us no insight as to why or howhuman curiosity is important for man. On the desire side,Mr. Brooks is, happily, more explicit. In his defense of rockand roll as meaningful art, Mr. Brooks says, “Rock is pas¬sion: political passion, moral passion, thwarted passion aswell as romantic and sexual passion.” The language of de¬sire seems to be something we can turn to for answers.The bare statement that humans are curious is surelylacking. Curiosity is certainly the beginning of man’ssearch for truth but that is all. Curiosity is what spurs manon to try to gain understanding, but it is a desire to under¬stand how man can live best which sustains him in thatsearch. It makes sense that a relativist would posit curiosi¬ty as a means to full living since relativists are only inter¬ested by different ideas; they never pursue them since theyknow there is nothing truly there to pursue. Curiosity maygive the relativist something to do with his time but it canhardly give him any understanding of the world.To affirm passion or desire as another ground for believ¬ing in life’s worth is typical of today’s American youth. It isan embodiment of our impatient willingness to rely on feel¬ings to confront difficulties we have with reality. What isthe answer to poverty, racism, nuclear bombs, or the injus¬tice of the world in general? In the world of rock and roll, atleast, the response is rage and revolution, or at best, indig¬nation. At first sight Mr. Brooks may seem to be an extrem¬ist in the relativist camp by taking sides with emotion. Butemotionalism is perhaps the relativists ultimate answer tothe question of how to live. Since it is useless to spend timeworrying over philosophical questions to which there are no answers, why not simply rely on how you “feel?” Getting intouch with and relying on one’s feelings is more cost-effec¬tive than spending long hours reading and discussing Platoor any others who are deceived into thinking they have ahandle on what is true. Even if this reliance on feeling issubject to the same relativism that thought is, at least oneneed not waste time that could be spent doing somethingmore worthwhile.But what shows Mr. Brooks up as truly of the “easy¬going” class is his ability to remain a loyal liberal Demo¬crat until the end, whether truth exists or not. Mr. Brooksstates:Our highly personalized search for truth is not with¬out its drawbacks. . .There’s no one standing over usto insist that we concern ourselves with equal oppor¬tunity when we’re figuring out a theory of mone¬tarism.On what grounds does Mr. Brooks stand when he holds up“equal opportunity” as some holy right? This reactionseems to be symptomatic of relativists in general. Relati¬vists want to have the "equality of values” that Mr. Bloomsees as so dangerous, but they also want to ensure theirright to exercise their own values. Relativism exhorts us totolerate everthing except intolerance. But what happenswhen someone asks the relativists why intolerance is not“cool?” To answer adequately, the relativist would have torely on some statement about man's natural rights or onsome other philosophical truth and, of course, both theseavenues are closed to him. Instead of arguing rationallyabout why man must be tolerant, the relativist can only be¬come indignant.Life for Mr. Brooks seems to be something like a trip to amuseum filled with exhibits of all the different “lifestyles"and “value systems" in our world. With a Sony Walkman’sblare ensuring the privacy of our tour we jam to whateverbeat we please from exhibit to exhibit. These exhibits arenot judged on the basis of what kind of human excellencethey show (since there is no such thing) but rather on how“interesting” they are. Thus man bops around, oohing andaahing, now indignant at an exhibit and now even (tempo¬rarily) participating in one. The big problem with this mu¬seum is that at the end of the day we must leave and, in¬stead of heading out onto the blacktop to get into the car, weare sent into the black void of the physical and chemicalreality of a nihilistic death.The life of a relativist is thus the life of one who observesbut does not seek to understand or judge. At the outset, therelativist takes a nihilistic approach, assuming that nothingis true, or that truth is only relative to one’s personal cir¬cumstances. With this as his starting point the relativisthenceforth ignores the implications of his premise andleads a life unbothered by serious thinking. Not only is rela¬tivism nihilism without the terror of the abyss, it is nihilismBy Jacques E. MorialOver 14 years after Dr. Martin Luther King was gunneddown in Memphis, it is evident that the pursuit of his nobledream has been stifled and interdicted by reactionaryforces of our society.Had he survived the intricate conspiracies to discredit itand eventually assassinate him, the 1964 Nobel Peace Prizewinner would have been 54 years old tomorrow. Dr. King’sBirthday is recognized as a state holiday in Illinois and in afew other states and as a municipal holiday in severalmajor cities. The day has been set aside as a time to reflecton the condition of our communities and the less fortunateamong us, a time to devise and evaluate creative solutionsto the obstacles of inequality and senseless violence.While legislation to make Dr. King's birthday a nationalholiday has been introduced in Congress for several years,it has not yet become law. Despite widespread broad-basedbi-racial support for the new national holiday, PresidentReagan has incessantly opposed any such measure. Duringone of the President’s few forays into an urban community,Reagan explained to Black high schoolers his reasoning onthe proposal to make King’s birthday a national holiday : ifKing’s birthday were made a holiday every ethnic groupwould want a holiday of its own, just like the blacks. Thepresident demonstrated not only his insensitivity but alsohis shallowness. A King birthday holiday of course wouldnot be a "Black Holiday,” as the President believes. Dr.King gave his life for non-violent social change and a life ofdignity for all Americans.In the wake of the urban strife that closed the ignonomouspages of 1982, the social malaise our society is experiencingbegs for a judicious and objective assessmentInstead the White House offers feeble token gestures thatinsult the integrity and intelligence of all thinking people. Aformal White House reception in observance of Dr. King’sBirthday Saturday and the nomination of ex-Congresswo-man Margaret Heckler and Elizabeth Dole to Cabinet posi- without the study of life which would be needed if one wereto make such a drastic conclusion. One should not rejectrelativism just because is is fundamentally nihilism; oneshould reject relativisim because it is a thoughtless ap¬proach to living. It is thoughtlessness, not necessarily nihil¬ism, that should be rejected. Nihilism, it is true, is a terr¬ibly sad conclusion to make for a being who has the strangecapacity to know he exists and to wonder at the existance.But one cannot simply rule out nihilism because it is not avery nice conclusion; it should, however, spur us on to thinksince, insofar as it is a possibility, we see that the stakesinvolved in the philosophical pursuit are higher than in anyother part of life.If relativism is to be rejected because it is a thoughtlessand cowardly approach to living then the obvious alterna¬tive is to constantly seek out the truth about life. This is noeasy task but as Mr. Bloom says, “the meaning of life isunclear, but mat is why we must spend our lives clarifyingit rather than letting the question go.” To answer as Mr.Brooks does that “it’s a little unfair to expect 20-year-oldsto have advanced ideas on thier morality” is to miss thepoint. “Advanced ideas” are not what are important, tak¬ing the questions seriously and continually seeking are im-porta’.t. Mr Brooks' approach to thinking — “privatesearching" — is pretty much useless if one is serious aboutthe search.Tom Powers is a fourth year student in the College major¬ing in economics.David Brooks againA brief reply yields some points of interest: much of thewriting against relativism is spoiled by frustrations towarda generation that doesn’t happen to iive up to the standardsof the author. Whether we are mindless cowards who bobaround museums to the jamming of our walkmen, as Tomwrites, or merely dissalute, empty-headed rock-zombies,as Mr. Bloom says, it is no reflections on our relativism, icertainly wouldn’t Judge Christianity by the moral respon¬sibility of some “Christians. ’ ’Not is it true that to relativists “no one way of living isbetter than any other.” We believe that eaeh person has aresponsibility to determine what his personal truths areand then to live up to them. We Judge a person by bow wellhe or she does those things.There is a belief in relativism among my generation, andthere may be an “easygoing nihilism,” but nobody hasshown—and I doubt anybody can show—that the relation¬ship is a casual one.And even if it was, we can’t deny a set of principles whichwe believe are true simply because die results are unplea¬santtions may be the most recent of such affronts.Unemployment measured by the Bureau of Labor Statis¬tics is about 11 percent of the work force. The rate is at leasttwice as high for Black Americans. About half of all Blackteenage jobseekers are unemployed, according to BLS. Thepercentage of young Blacks unemployed is closer to 60 per¬cent, according to the National Urban League’s Hidden Un¬employment Index which accounts for discouragedworkers, the underemployed and those not actively seekingwork in a way that can be documented.These people are not lazy or shiftless. They sincerelywant to work to earn their own way. Thousands of unem¬ployed Chicagoans who waited in line hours for a slim one-in-ten chance for a temporary job have unwittingly becomepawns in Chicago’s putrid political arena. Twenty-six thou¬sand pages of want-ads in the President’s Sunday newspa¬per won’t help the legions who are untrained and no longerwanted by changing American industry.Disappearing social aid programs and poor housing con¬ditions aggravate already serous conditions. The recent vi¬olence in the Overtown section of Miami was only a sampleof the powder kegs simmering in our cities. Violence is atypical expression of frustration that is growing across ourcommunities. It is important we face this dilemma withcompassion, before Overtown becomes your town or mytown.The prosperity that has been hiding around that cornerhas not yet offered more than a hallucination of a solution.Another guns before butter budget will not cure our domes¬tic malady and is likely to bring us closer to the destructionof all humanity in the game of nuclear one-upmanship.Sensibility and compassion, a tough mind and a tenderheart are required to answer this knock at the midnight ofthe social order.Jacque Morial is fourth-year student in the college, andformer president of the Organization of Black students.Martin Luther King’s stifled dreamsThe Chicago Maroon—Friday, January 14. 1983—5ASHUMSeminar Series 1982-83The Program in the Liberal Arts and Sciences Basic to HumanBiology and Medicinepresents a lectureOn The Nature of Influencein Large Systems: The Caseof The National HealthPolicy DomainbyEdward O.

(Just like egos...)We are tape-recording our views and presentingthem interview-style, because taping makes it alot easier for us to be honest and lucid and yetescape the rigid confines of the written word. Weare going to talk about Bauhaus on December 7and 8 at Metro (3730 North Clark), and theCramps on New Year’s Eve (also at Metro). Thelast time Bauhaus were in Chicago was March of1981. The Cramps were here in June. After twogreat albums, Bauhaus have finally gotten a UScontract and released a third great record. Afterone good record and one mediocre record, theCramps are moving from one small label to thenext smallest label. Both bands are composed offour members, but only the Cramps are sexuallyintegrated enough to sport a female member.We are opposed to radical feminism, but sinceIvy is the Cramps’ only redeeming quality, weforgive them. Neither band has a black member,although the Cramps have acquired a Spanish-American. To the best of our knowledge, neitherband has a homosexual or a bisexual member.(However, we seriously doubt either band has acelibate member.) But on to the article. . .Readon and be impressed.TCSD: We took the el up to see Bauhaus. We sawthese guard dogs who whimpered wheneverpeople entered the train and scared them. Theywere sacred of the el. But they got us preparedfor the concert, mentally prepared to face thehard realities of the crowd, because if we couldface these dogs, we could face anything. Andmost of the crowd were dogs.LELE: There were certain requirements you hadto fulfill to be let in the door. You had to wearblack, which I made the stupid mistake of doingsimply because I have very little clothing thatisn’t black. You had to wear eyeliner. You had towear one dangling earring, which was difficultfor Stephen because he doesn’t have a piercedear —TCSD: — thoagh my brcther has two. Me, Ilooked out of fashion as always. I forget what Iwas wearing. Probably a purple tee-shirt. Therewere these two gross girls. One of them wasnamed Joni, maybe. They chewed gum and tooklots of speed. I’m not into speed. Lele’s not intospeed. You shouldn’t be into speed, but we allknow you are if you're trendy.LELE: These'girls had long hair. Very few peopleat the concert had long hair unless it was a mo¬hawk, which I thought went out of fashion threeyears ago.TCSD: But they did wear it to one side. The sidethat was always near us and hitting us, I mightadd.LELE: I wished then that I was cool and smokedcigarettes, because if we d had a cigarettelighter with us, we could have set their hair onfire. Alas, we weren't cool, for there was no ciga¬rette lighter to be found.TCSD: The girls were gross. They hung aroundwith fat roadies’who also had long hair. Theytalked about dancing at Neo’s. They went toNeo’s because that’s in. I don’t know. I don’t goto Neo’s.LELE: Only preps go to Neo s.TCSD: Figures On A Beach from Detroit opened for Bauhaus.LELE: They sounded like the same kind of genericpost-punk pomp rock that I would mistake foranything released by U2, XTC, post-Foxx Ultra-vox, B Movie, Tears For Fears, and — yes — evenGenesis. That means their single, “Swimming,”will probably be a hit.TCSD: The people in the group — they didn’twear black,LELE: But he was wearing a fat tie, so it wascool.TCSD: They didn’t know how to dance. Theythought they were cool. I thought they were fullof it.LELE: Their party trick was when the vocalistwho played keyboards switched with the personwho played guitar and did a lot of heavy-metalposturing. The guitarist had hair like Ian McCul¬loch of Echo and the Bunnymen. (I’m not going tobe trendy and call him “Mac.”) The drummercould’ve been any member in any band. He wasfunctional. Everyone else was expendable.TCSD: But the drumkit was cute. It looked like akit a ten-year-old would have. I liked it. Thedrummer looked like a ten-year-old. He was hav¬ing a grand time. Everyone else was trying to actabove it all.TCSD: But after they left we had it even worse.We had to listen to tapes of A Certain Ratio. Justbecause they were coming to town in two days! Idon’t want to hear it — generic disco pop-rockbut it sounds like Joy Division with that funkydisco beat. At a quarter to one Bauhaus go onstage. They are contracted to play 70 minutes sothey go on at the last possible minute. They’resmart. They figure they can hoax the club andnot play any encores. They get their money andI’m proud of them. They put on this hokey musicLELE: Holst’s “Mars.” Not quite as pompous asthe music the Pretenders use, Wagner’s "Ride OfThe Valkyries,” but grandiose and pompousenough for the Chicago crowd.TCSD: But as you can tell, they have becomegrounded in rock tradition, like the Clash, whouse spaghetti western music.LELE: And not only do they have pompous music,they have dry ice. The funny thing about the dryice is that when the grandiose music was goingon and the dry ice was flooding the stage andchoking those of us close enough to the stage, theventilation in the club didn’t let the dry ice risemore than two feet off the floor. So when thestrobes started flickering, you could see themembers of Bauhaus walking across the stagewith dry ice only up to their knees. Some sur¬prise entrance, eh?TCSD: The first song they played was Eno s“Third Uncle.”LELE: I think that’s really funny because they'realways accused of being Eno and Bowie clones. They got sick of it and recorded “Third Uncle”and "Ziggy Stardust,’ which ironically enoughwas their best-selling vinyl, got them a spot on"Top Of The Pops” in Britain, went to numbertwo, and earned a whole lot of money. Good forthem, since “Ziggy” sounds exactly like Bowie.Part of their grand entrance consisted of vocalistPeter Murphy jumping around like a samuraiwarrior, brandishing his mike stand like a swordand tossing it into the audience at some unsu¬specting poser who — of course — moved aside.TCSD: Supposedly in England people getknocked out, but you know Chicagoans, they'retoo smart to get hit. Let’s talk about their clothesnow.LELE: Peter Murphy was wearing purple blush,no lipstick, but lots of eyeliner. I guess he knowshow to please these trendy Chicagoans.TCSD: He has great cheekbones.LELE: He has a great receding hairline, too. Hewas really trendy and had even dyed his hairblack. He was wearing fishnets.TCSD: He’s thin. He makes me look fat. He makesPat look fat.LELE: He obviously did his Richard Simmonsstretch exercises.TCSD: He played the congas. I guess that meanshe’s talented.LELE: Bassist David Jay looked really cool underhis shades. We couldn’t tell if he was wearingeyeliner or not.TCSD: He was wearing a grey suit, could’ve beenpolyester, looked cheap.LELE: The thing I noticed right away was thewaistband. It was one of those Sears “motionslacks” waistbands that move every way withyou and extends a good five inches beyond thezipper fly. I didn’t realize people under the ageof 40 wore them by choice.TCSD: But was it by choice? We don’t know.LELE: He looked really deadpan and didn’t doanything except occasionally scream into the mi¬crophone on cueTCSD: The drummer, Kevin Haskins, is his babybrother. I like baby brothers. I have one. Lelehas one. Hey. we can all relate to it. He dranklots of orange juice. I like orange juice Orangejuice is good. I hope it was Tropicana — I didn'tnotice. Everyone should drink Tropicana. I can'tbelieve they sell Pure Gold out here, but that'smy trendy New Yorkiness showing throughagain. The only other person who drank wasdrinking beer. David Jay.LELE: And he was holding the bottle at the top.with his fist, like the way a two-year-old learn¬ing to grasp things will pick things up. I keptwaiting for him to knock his front teeth out withthe bottle, but he was too cool.TCSD: Anyway, Haskins played drums compe¬tently and had a nice pompadour. He sweated alittle bit. But let's lay it on the line: they wer$ a cool group. They didn’t sweat.LELE: Murphy sweated. His blush started drip¬ping.TCSD: But consider how hard he was working Imean, Figures On A Beach made the stage onebig puddle! But let's go on to Daniel Ash.LELE: Guitarist Daniel Ash really screwed up asfar as Chicago trendiness goes. In fact, a friendof mine saw an old picture of him and said hecould pass for a reject from KISS. But I guessthat’s all in the past, because that night he waswearing white jeans (revealing a nice pair ofcheeks — I’m all for reverse sexual discrimina¬tion), a white shirt, not even any eyeliner! Whatis going on? He didn’t even wear purple lipstick,which was traumatic for me, because I was theonly one there wearing purple lipstick, and I justcan’t stand sticking out in the crowd. He was alsowearing this really funky pair of white crepe-soled beetle crushers with a fold-over buckle.TCSD: I liked those. I thought they were neat.LELE: I didn't realize people wore those bychoice.TCSD: But at least they weren't sneakers. Orrunning shoes. He should've been wearing blackpointed-toe wingtips with bullet-holes.LELE: But he wasn’t being trendy, so he wasn'twearing black. The other neat thing he did wasto wear mummy's pearls on his left wrist, whiteand black — a concession to the preppie contin¬gent but not in itself prep.TCSD: That was their only concession.LELE: He played guitar competently. He didn'tdo any Chuck Berry duckwalks, for which I ameternally grateful. He didn't do any of the har-dass guitar posturing or facial contortions thatFigures On A Beach had perfected, which was re¬ally funny because I very rarely heard guitarlines from FOAB and yet there was actually verylittle time during Bauhaus when Ash wasn'tplaying. But he picked up an E-bow for one song,which upset me, because I thought E-bows wentout with Chris Stein and Blondie. But he alsosquawked on a sax for one of the songs, and thatwas cute, so I forgave him.TCSD: I’ll talk about the songs We ll start with“Spy In The Cab.'' I thought it was boring, butthis pop magazine. Coolest Retard — see we doread, it’s not just that we go on endlessly, we doknow some things — thought it was the bestsong. I thought it was the worst. Murphy actedlike he was cool and spying on us. Get it?LELE: He made a lot of practised gestures a laLiza Minelii. When it said “eye,’ he pointed to hiseye. When it said “road,” he pointed to thestage because the stage had to substitute for aroad, and so on.TCSD: But we could say that this was theatricalimprovisation.LELE: Except that it was too well-practised Hetossed the mike around, he bent over back¬wards, he showed you his rear-end, which wasn'tas cute as Ash's —TCSD: — I didn’t get into it, I’m not a homo.LELE: I’m not a homo, so I got into it. I guess I’mjust a boring hetrosexual.TCSD: Were both boring hetrosexuals. andwe re proud of it! Moving on. They dedicated “InFear Of Fear” to John Lennon. I don’t know why— maybe they’re afraid of death. I’m cool — I'minto death. At one point Joni screamed “yeah,"so Murphy said. “Yeah? What's this 'yeah' busi¬ness? I’m sick of ’yeah !”LELE: And Joni said. “Ooh! Yeah!"TCSD: He sang, “Chicago, Chicago, my kind oftown." That was funny He said "Chicago'' withsuch hate and disgust. He hates Chicago: that'swhy it took so long for them to come back. Wetalked to Metro, and they said it would be a bigevent because they had to pay Bauhaus a lot ofmoney to get them back. I thought it was anevent. Lele thought it was an event. Maybe no¬body else did. They played songs from the newalbum.TCSD: At one point, I don’t remember exactlyhow it happened, his pants fell down. He was dis¬creet about it. He was not into it. I was not into it.Lele was not into it because she missed it. But hesaid, “There's no such thing as vanity. Modestyis dishonesty.” Someone teased him about hisfishnets, and he said, “I only wear them becausethey make my legs look beautiful.”Continued on page 4Bauhaus, not Kiss, left to right: Sears Action Slacks, K-Tel Oriental, Orange Juice,Cute AssNOT EVEN FISH, BUT A SYMBOL OF RSH— ■■/i i 11 i i 11 i 111 i i i i rr>Tonight at 7:15 and 9:45: Writers, feminists, wrestlers andtranssexuals meet in George Roy Hill's adaptation of John Irving'sbestseller; starring Robin W illiams.

Thebest thing about the show is that fewchanges have been made in Lehrer sarrangements, the irony being thata simple tweed-clad singer with aSpinnet upright piano would bemore satisfying to Lehrer devotees.Nonetheless, it is a show worth see¬ing, and The Elements and The IrishBallad are especially brilliant.Through Feb. 27 at the Apollo The¬ater Center. 25410 N.

Director George Roy Hillthought so and the result is that raremovie which manages to qualitative¬ly surpass the book from which itwas adapted. But, considering Irv¬ing's novel, that’s not much of a com¬pliment. Screenwriter Steve Tesichadapted Irving’s best-selling tale ofsexual paranoia for the screen and,in so doing, de-emphasized the sexequals death equation, and eliminat¬ed the buckets of blood spilt duringthe last 50 pages of the novel. Alsoto the credit of the film is Robin Wil¬liam's whimsically nonchalant per¬formance as T.S. Garp. Indeed, allthe performances are quite good,particularly that of Glenn Close asGarp's feminist, but somehow matri-archial mother. Vet. the problem ofplot remains, and the world accord¬ing to John Irving remains a world ofsexual confusion and morbid antag¬onism. Fri, Jan 14 at 7:15 and 9:45pm; Sun, Jan 16 at 2:30 pm.

The result is emotionallypowerful and forces the viewer torecognize and examine or reexam¬ine her/his relation to these issues.The show, however, is not simply anantagonistic critique of what'swrong with the world today. Oneimage directly suggests a positiveand active public role for the artist:“Dreams and wishes. Artists mightreign (If not supreme)...(If not sub¬lime)...” (From Barbara Aubin'smixed-media collage, “Dreams andWishes") In many ways this show ex¬amines not only current issues butalso the role of the artist in society.It has the power to effectively di¬minish the distance somehow main¬tained between artist, art. and pub¬lic.

JANUARY 14. 1983—3WHAT SYMBOL, WHAT FISH?Not the Cramps, but you get the ideaContinued from page 1LELE: He did have beautiful legs, I'll say thatmuch.TCSD: And I'll say that I wear baggy pants be¬cause I have fat thighs.LELE: They did “Hair Of The Dog” and faded outwith some stupid sound effect of a barking noise,like the guard dogs on the el. They did a terrificversion of John Cale’s “Rosegarden, Funeral OfSores,” which was terrific because at the end,Murphy says, "Scream, little whores.” And Jayand Ash scream on cue. At least they're honest.That was the only thing Jay really got into. Hetook off his jacket and revealed — how uncool —a black shirt. He rolled up his sleeves —TCSD: Rolling up sleeves is cool. For “Passion OfLovers” they had a huge, fancy insignia lightflash on and off. It was a big waste of money, ifyou ask me. But they had a neat light show. Iloved the strobes. All hard rock and heavy metalbands have light shows. They had these neatlights that changed on cue — they went up, down,forward, up down, forward.LELE: The insignia was a really obvious gim¬mick.TCSD: But it was their only gimmick.LELE: They did a cover version of an old song,“Night Time,” which I think was originally doneby the Strangeloves, but was also a song the J.Geils Band had a top forty hit with. Everybodyelse in the audience was pogoing. Are these peo¬ple so stupid they didn’t recognize it? Is this“Name That Tune”? I sat there and laughed, andI noticed that Bauhaus were laughing, too, so Ifelt really supercool. They were pretending tobe a real Rock and Roll band with capital R’s, butnobody got it. And at one point they even wentso far as to act like the Rolling Stones. PeterMurphy started singing into Daniel Ash’s micro¬phone. I thought to myself “Mick and Keith.” Itwas such a great parody.TCSD: They did “Hollow Hills.”LELE: That’s when Ash pulled out the E-bow. Igroaned. But little did I know what fun was instore.TCSO: Peter Murphy picked up this nice blacklight — well, really, it was a fluorescent lightpainted purple. He played primitive with it. Hehad reflective paint all over his face and chest,and it made neat glows. I liked it. Then he squat¬ted and made it look like the dry ice was crawl¬ing all over him, over his shoulders. I guess itwas a scary effect. He waved the fluorescenttube like it was an icon or a samurai sword. He was into samurai swords: they’re the new medi¬um — KTel Oriental.LELE: Well, this was Pearl Harbor Day, too, andthe show was being advertised as a “KamikazeDive,” after the line in their song “Dive.” AndMurphy’s favorite word is “satori.” Plus he waswearing chink slippers.TCSD: Anyway, in “Hollow Hills,” he was actinglike a primitive, like Guggi the Prune, exceptGuggie is a better primitive. But it was a goodlaugh.LELE: It parodied their reputation as Gothic hor¬ror theatre weirdos. I mean, they do a songcalled “Bela Lugosi's Dead,” after all. Whichbrings us to the encore...TCSD: They go off stage for ten minutes. Every¬one screams and yells for more.LELE: I say to Stephen, “Bauhaus are too mani¬pulative. They're too smart. They won’t play anencore because these posers don’t deserve it. Ifthey play an encore, I’ll lose respect for them.”TCSD: We decide to leave. We’re sure they won'tcondescend to play an encore. We go to theSeven-Eleven. Best part of the concert! You canget ice cream sandwiches for eleven cents. I getan ice cream sandwich. Lele gets HawaiianPunch. I get Doctor Pepper. Hawaiian Punch wasthe better choice. We get a pack of cigarettes —don’t ask why. I guess every now and then I haveto condescend to trendiness, too. We sit outsideon a nice bench, freezing cold.LELE: We go to the el tracks. Who should we runinto but Pat “Consumer Focus” Cannon and hisfriend Jane (I think her name was Jane). Pat tellsus there was an encore, “Bela Lugosi’s Dead,” ofall things.TCSD: We were mad, but supposedly it was verygood.LELE: I find out that the only reason they did anencore was because they hadn't play their fullseventy minutes yet, so they had to play the en¬core in order to fulfill their part of the contract.Good for them! They didn’t want to play an en¬core otherwise. They said the crowd didn’t de¬serve it, that they weren’t rowdy enough.TCSD: And Pat said that Bauhaus were right, thecrowd wasn’t rowdy, because they played a fewdanceable cuts and nobody danced. Dancing isrowdy? But as we were leaving, the roadie an¬nounced that everyone should bring mallets andnoisemakers to the next night’s show. We didn’tknow why.LELE: Our final thoughts on the show included:what color blush would Murphy wear on the next night? Would. Ash wear black? We thanked Godthat they didn't play “Ziggy Stardust.'TSCD: We were debating whether they were artas theatre or theatre as art.LELE: And then we decided that they were trash¬ing the ideas of art as theatre and theatre asart, and that was what was so funny. Peopletake them so seriously, and they stand up thereand laugh at the suckers who worship them andpay money to support their lifestyles, unlike coolfolk like us who didn't have to pay to get in.TCSD: They're superior, and they know it. Theyget paid lots of money to go up on stage when weshould be the ones on stage. And nobody chal¬lenged them.LELE: That’s why Peter Murphy was inciting vio¬lence. That’s why he got so fed up and bored, be¬cause nobody challenged them. He might as wellhave been Pat Benatar — he was onstage, andthe performers are gods in Chicago no matterwhat they do to deserve the attention.TCSD: But it got worse the next night. We fig¬ured the band would either be really bored andgive a lousy performance because they didn'tfeel Chicago deserved a good show — whichwould’ve been true — or they would’ve been re¬ally ticked off at how inert the crowd was andwould do a lot of nasty, vicious things just to getthe crowd worked up. Needless to say, theywere the second.LELE: And, wouldn’t you know it, we missed it.We didn’t go — boy, were we uncool. We stayedhome and studied for want of anything better todo.TCSD: But we found out about it from many reli¬able sources.LELE: Ned went, and he said we could say any¬thing about Wednesday night’s show that wewanted to, because someone in the crowd wouldbelieve it really happened. Wednesday night —thank God — no Figures On A Beach. 4xY openedand were supposedly pretty good. I was upset tofind out that Bauhaus took the stage all strippedto the waist and wearing black leather trousers.I think black leather trousers are cool even ifthey are trendy and cliche. As my mother says,would you want to have a crush on anyone whowears black leather trousers? The answer is no. Iknow from experience.TCSD: Wednesday night sounded like a reallygood time. They passed instruments around inthe audience, but the audience was scared to doanything with the guitars. Scared of guitars?Scared of objects! Objects can’t hurt us. Peoplehurt us. Does that mean the audience were attri¬buting a kind of “peopleness” to the objects?They wouldn’t touch the objects because theywere symbols of the people, the performers-as-gods. Finally Murphy and Ash got fed up and re¬trieved the guitars because the audience didn’tdeserve to play with them. But the best was thatJoni supposedly resurrected herself on Wednes¬day night. She chewed gum just as loudly as be¬fore, was probably on just as much speed as be¬fore, and flipped her hair around just as much asbefore. This time Peter Murphy couldn’t take itand started yelling at her: “Stop it! Stop chew¬ing that gum! Stop making that noise!” And god¬dammit, he's right. He’s the one performing. Ei¬ther you listen to him and show him respect, oryou get fed up with him and kick him. Maybe sheshould've kicked him. But no, he kicked her.LELE: I asked Ned what they played Wednesdaynight. He said he had no idea, that they played abunch of blips and noises. One song was twentyminutes' worth of one chord and Peter Murphychanting “raw fish,” with nobody in the audiencechallenging his authority. And these same peo¬ple were upset and considered asking for theirmoney back — considered. They didn’t demand itback. I have no respect for them, They have noright to complain, because they didn’t challengehim. They just stood there and put up with PeterMurphy chanting “raw fish” for twenty minutes.I’m glad he got their money. He deserves it. I'min favor of manipulation. I’m in favor of peoplewho aren’t going to deliver a straight-forwardrock show simply because that's what the audi¬ence wants — a clean, typical rock and roll showthat lives up to the stagnant tradition.TCSD: Question: was the Public Image Limitedshow at the Ritz better than the one at the —where was it? — the Riviera? I say, “yes,” be¬cause they incited the audience; they got beerbottles thrown at them. They made the audiencereact. They provoked the audience. That's whatthe concert should do. It should correspond to theessence of the performer.TCSD: Bauhaus want to stretch the limits of rockand roll. These limits that they challenge on re¬cord should be challenged in concert, too.LELE: They pretend that they’re theater —campy, funny Gothic horror theatre. Theatre is a good way of skirting the issue of narcissism, be¬cause if they say they’re creating drama, thenthey're somehow fulfilling a need for provoca¬tive entertainment at a distance. This justifiesthe performance as more than an excuse forhero-worship (performer as God) or capitalisticadvertising (see the band, pay for the ticket,buy the record). Ideally a performance should bea combination of visual and aural factors. If Iwanted only to dance, I could’ve stayed down¬stairs at the Smart Bar or at home with my re¬cords —TCSD: — which is what we should've done thenight we went to see the Cramps. The Crampswere damn boring. They played like they wereon the record. They pleased the crowd. Theydidn’t please me. The only good part was Ivy,the guitarist. She stood back, had nice sung¬lasses, and watched Lux make a fool of himself.He fell into the audience not once, not twice, butthree times. Maybe he knows about the rule ofthree, what theater is all about, but I doubt it.TCSD: But the audience was enthralled. Ratherthan let him fall, which they probably would'vedone for Peter Murphy — if he’d’ve jumped, theywould’ve cleared a five foot radius around him— they caught Lux and touched his hair andsmelled his underarms. The crowd itself wasgross. They made the crowd at Bauhaus looknice. Most of the people were in their thirties atleast. Not even the real trendies were there.Blue jeans were the acceptable look.LELE: A lot of people who wished they'd been1976 rejects were there — a lot of torn clothing,slashes here and there, pieces of fishnet, minis¬kirts, spike heels, spiked ponytails, a lot of poor¬ly applied eyeshadow — even on the guys. It wasall a gesture, like a preppie punk party.TCSD: The only thing that made the trip worth¬while was the el. Pre-concert we were boredsilly. We listened to WHPK and requested abunch of songs. We asked for “Temptation” byNew Order — the worst song ever.LELE: That’s the song that goes, “Oh you’ve gotblue eyes, oh you’ve got green eyes, oh you'vegot brown eyes, oh you've got lockjaw, ohyou've got big teeth, oh you’ve got Smurf cups—” Bad song. Bad song. Bad lyrics. Boring.They’re just living off the Joy Division reputa¬tion and earning a lot of money because the tren¬dies weren’t trendy enough to pick up on Joy Di¬vision before Ian Curtis died, so they tried tomake up for it by making New Order trendy.TCSD: We felt like kidding around and doingsomething trendy. We couldn’t make up ourminds as to whether or not we should leaveKen's New Year’s Eve dance party to go to theCramps. Finally around eleven o’clock we decidewhat the hell, we’re already guaranteed that wemissed the Effigies — the opening act — so memight as well go uptown. I get to watch Lele puton make-up. Fun fun fun. She tried to put on herblush like Peter Murphy's. She used Ultra-Sheen.It didn’t work. I don’t know what he uses, f don’twant to know. Lele does. If anyone has anyideas, send them to the Youth Subculture Desk atthe GCJ.LELE: The bus comes right away. We can't be¬lieve our bad luck. We may still get there in timeto see the Effigies again.TCSD: But the bus stalls. Is this an omen or what?We wait for the next bus. We get on the el. Asluck has it, we spend New Year’s Eve on the el.The lights go out at four before twelve. Thesewild black kids start singing songs and yelling,“Happy New Year! Whoosa! Whoosa! Hooray!”Why do black kids have more fun than whites? Idon’t know. They were better than LawrenceWelk or Donny Osmond.LELE: Someone was smoking hippyweed. I’m notinto hippyweed.TCSD: I'm not into hippyweed. You shouldn’t beinto hippyweed. But this drunk middle-aged manturned to a businessman sitting behind him andasked if he had a “reefer joint,” because “thatsmell just knocks the socks off. . .” you’ve got it. .yes, “my socks.” That was the best line of theevening. We get off the el at Addison, go pastthe Cubs, go past the Seven-eleven. We don’thave to pay full price because we know someonein the ticket office and they said we’d missed afew songs already. Thank God. I couldn’t'vetaken an extra song, anyway.LELE: We get in and notice that the crowd wasvery packed around the front of the stage.TCSD: At Bauhaus, it was really empty up front.But at the Cramps, everyone was being atten¬tive and adoring and crammed as close to thestage as they could.LELE: We walk in and vocalist Lux Interior isprancing around the stage like the new MickJagger.

It was a mess, but it was ob¬viously a planned mess. If it were accidental,fine, but we know he did it for effect —LELE: — whereas someone like Patti Smith orNick Cave has lumps and hairballs because theynever comb or wash their hair.

If someone had said “yeah,” hewould've said “yeah! Get into it! Say it again!Yeah! I love this ‘yeah’ business! He was worsethan a whore on Rush Street.LELE: At one point, he said, “Once a ho, always aho.”l thought that was very appropriate to him— the consummate whore. The preblem was thathe had no sense of humor about it. He tried toohard. He took it too seriously.TCSD: He had a bad sense of humor and kissedthe audience’s ass. He introduced a song called“Five Years Ahead Of My Time” by saying that"you in Chicago know what I’m talking about.”But it wasn’t tongue-in-cheek. He meant it. Ithink he should’ve said “five years past yourtime.” But Chicago ate up the flattery andcheered him. He went for a lot of cheap shots andkept the crowd happy.LELE: One song was called “Good Taste.” Itdidn't improve on their earlier material or evenexplore any new territory. And the lyrics wereso obvious. Yes — “you’ve got good taste, allover my face." The^ could’ve been the Knack!TCSD: One of the most obvious, cheap bits waswhen he explained what the basis of rock androll was. There was a lot of feedback and drum¬ming and maracas. He said, “You know whatrock and roll is. It's something that depends onrhythm. You do it in the bedroom. On the bed,with lubricants.”LELE: If you hadn’t figured it out by then, you'repretty stupid. He's talking about sex, right? Butwhat does the audience do? They scream, What!What, Lux? What's the basis of rock and roll?”So he shakes his maracas and says, “It’s fuck¬ing.” And everyone cheersTCSD: He does other sexually-connotativethings, like sticking the microphone in his pants.How old can we get. I'm bored of it. He then pro¬ceeds to take off his pants in glorious fashion, asif he were revealing some great secret, but Ididn't want to see. It was a contrast to PeterMurphy, whose dropped pants was a genuine ac¬cident, like, “oh well, we’ll put them backon,“and Murphy didn’t call attention to it untilsomeone yelled about his fishnets. But Murphy'swas an accident, compared to Lux’s, which wasobviously planned weeks ago. Then he — hebeing Lux, after the pants were off — had to fig¬ure out how to get them on discreetly. He runsalmost offstage and rushes around to pull themback on. Anyone with any brain realized he justhadn't figured out what to do after they wereoff.LELE: The Cramps played a lot of songs. Theyplayed a lot from the first album. They played alot from the second album. They played “Sung¬lasses After Dark.” The best part was when Ilooked up and noticed that Ivy had on a pair ofsunglasses. My God. She had sunglasses on! Toput on sunglasses required motion! Ivy must’vehad to move something other than her guitar¬playing fingers, and I missed it. But just in caseIvy’s funny move would garner too much atten¬tion, what happens? Lux pulls out his own sung¬lasses. But Ivy’s wearing sunglasses was less ob¬vious, because it was barely noticeable, andcertainly not expected. Lux’s was just an obvi¬ous gimmick. He held them over the crowd. Thecrowd jumped up and down, begging him to dropthem. It reminded me of the crowd at Elvis Pres¬ley in Las Vegas. But that old tease Lux didn’tdrop the sunglasses. The crowd was disappoint¬ed. Lux wore the sunglasses. I think that's knownas “baiting.”TCSD: Unlike Bauhaus, everyone knew therewould be an encore at the Cramps. My feelingabout encores is either you do them right awayor you don’t do then. Certainly don’t bleed theaudience for them, ’or encores become totallygratuitous. Their first encore was their first re¬corded product, “The Way I Walk," which was anold rockabilly song virtually indistinguishablefrom Robert Gordon or the Stray CatsLELE: But at least Robert Gordon is just givingyou an exercise in rockabilly posturing. He's shallow and honest about it, but Lux pretendedhe was revealing something, doing somethingnew.TCSD: What else can be said about the Cramps?There was a second encore. There was a third en¬core. The rule of three again? We had to wait justas long for each one, but we knew everytimethat there would be one. What a waste of time.To make matters worse, during the first encore,this punk jumps on the stage and hops around.He seemed to be on for what was either too shortto make it a happening or too long to be un¬planned. None of the band noticed except for theother guitarist, Congo, who grinned. Finally abouncer took the kid off stage. There was no vio¬lence — not even a scene. And the audience waspatting the punk on the back for being so daringand surviving. Come on!LELE: The Cramps were fun to dance to, sure, butI could've stayed at home with my records anddanced I wouldn’t’ve worked off quite as muchsweat at home, though, because I wouldn't’vebeen dodging beer baths and slamming posers.If I’d stayed home and listened to the records, Iwouldn't’ve felt so homicidal.TCSD: This little girl poser — I mean little, halfthe size of me — seemed very much injured bythe fact that someone could step on her andthrew a fit when Lele accidentally stepped onher toe. But after the music started, she decidedto plow into us. If it had been the Effigies, itmight've been funny because only the stammerswere there. But when they aren’t really slam-mers, it’s pointless, especially if they can’t do aslam right. Poser slammers are just like anyother posers. They bounced off the crowd be¬cause the crowd was harmless and only slightdisrupted. The slammers didn’t cause enough ofa scene to be interesting. They were just slam¬ming because slamming is what they’re sup¬posed to do, right? It’s old hat.LELE: The Cramps are old hat, though, too. Theyaren’t doing anything new or better. They aren'teven maturing. They're merely living off thereputation and legacy left them when originalguitarist Bryan Gregory quit to join a Satinistcult in — where else? — California. The Cramps’brand of horror is comical. They aren’t scary.They impose no threat, but they take themselvestoo seriously to be kitschy, except for Ivy, thatis. They really want you to think that they livescary lifestyles, but deep down they're as Cali¬fornian as anyone else, and dishonest about it,too.TCSD: Closing comments on the Cramps...Theirdrummer Nick Knox wasn’t there. He was in thehospital. Lux explained that it was nothing.Nick's problem was all in his mind. The replace¬ment drummer was the drummer from the GunClub. Lux said that the vocalist from the Gun Clubdied in a tragic automobile accident.LELE: That was the only really funny thing he didor said, because he then said, “You can judge foryourselves how tragic that was.” And he wasright. Who really cared enough to be concerned?Do I even care if it’s true or not? No. Do I thinkit’s tragic that the people at the Cramps concertpaid money to indulge Lux’s ego trip? Yes. Can Iattribute this to the fact that it was New Year’sEve, and a lot of posers wanted an excuse to getdrunk and get rowdy? Or do I attribute it to thefact that Lux has convinced a bunch of cash-pay¬ing posers that he is indeed the new Mick Jag-ger? With these thoughts in mind, we go down tothe Smart Bar. Yes, unlike Bauhaus, the Crampshave not manipulated the club. They come on ex¬actly at midnight — as planned — and leaveenough time after the show for us to go down tothe Smart 8ar, wet our whistles, and let the clubmake some money on liquor sales.TCSD: We go down, and what do we see?Hundreds of posers dancing to Killing Joke and KC and the Sunshine Band. People don’t evenlaugh when they play K C and the SunshineBand. I guess they think it's some new post-punkpop song by an artsy English group — with thatdisco beat. How far have we come in the last tenyears? Lele and I order water so we don’t getdrunk. We know it’s New Year’s, and we have tobe different.TCSD: Anyway, we dance for a while, but we getbored. Athena is there. I get introduced. I feellucky. I get to meet all Lele's trendy friends fromuptown. We have our water and say, "If the nextsong is good, we’ll stay. If not, we leave.” Theystop playing records. It's two o’clock so theyclose down. That makes our decision easy. Natu¬rally, we have to go to Seven-Eleven after¬wards. Once again, I have an ice cream bar foreleven cents, but this time I have HawaiianPunch, too. Hawaiian Punch is good food, betterthan tea.LELE: But not as good as apricot jello.

Jacobo Timerman’s The Lon¬gest War: Israel in Lebanon, therefore, is adifficult book to review; this difficulty isfurther complicated by the timing of thepublication itself and its primary audi¬ence, my relatively recent and sketchy ac¬quaintance with Israeli society and poli¬tics, and my research on the Palestiniansand the PLO.The Longest War was written during thefirst two months of the Israeli invasion ofLebanon; there is also a brief post-script,written shortly after the massacre at theSabra and Shatila camps, entitled simply“The Massacre.” Understandably, thetone of this section is one of shock, particu¬larly in contrast to the cautious optimismat the end of the body of the book, in whichTimerman outlines the early August anti¬war protests of the Israelis: “the people ofJerusalem think of Beirut and struggle forBeirut. There is rage. There is hope.”This hope, apparently born at the pit ofdespair, may or may not be realistic; how¬ever, it springs from the belief that thereis a limit to what civilized people will do toone another. That little was immediatelydone in Israel to protest the massacre“even though all of us (Israelis) realizedthat it had been organized by our ownarmy,” seems to confirm the basic thesis ofTimerman’s book; that a “sickness” is“destroying Israel” from within. This pa¬thology is best shown in the idea that “we(Israelis) may not be wholly repelled bythe possibility of a Palestinian geno¬cide.”Timerman sees the cause of this “sick¬ness” in the Oriental (Sephardic) Jews ofIsrael, those who fled the Arab countriesafter the creation of Israel in 1948. At aPeace Now demonstration of 100,000 orso last summer, it was remarked to Timer-man that almost all of the protestors wereAshkenazi (European) Jews, and only ahandful were Sephardim.“I'm not impressed by this observa¬tion nor do I feel guilty because the;^ast socially and culturally devel¬oped sector of the population chantsBegin, King of Israel,' ... The loyaltyof these classes, always a majority,towards charismatic and seeminglyinvincible leaders guarantees nei¬ther the rationality nor the health ofa political situation.” think he may be scapegoating more than alittle bit.Timerman has dedicated the book to adeceased Israeli major, Giora Harnik, apacifist and a member of the Peace Nowmovement. Harnik was killed in hand-to-hand combat at Beaufort Castle, early inthe invasion. Timerman says of Harnik:“he could not live and die for his ownideas because he had to kill and diefor the obsessions of inept rulers andvain military men who are running anation created by moralists anddreamers.” Sharon’s War for six months before itbegan. “We all knew that Sharon’s Warwould be an invasion of Lebanon;” there¬fore, is more than an indictment of Israelipoliticians — it accuses the Israeli societyas well, not merely the Sephardim.But once the war began the Israelis gra¬dually came to the conclusion that theirarmed forces had destroyed cities andfamilies which did not threaten the exis¬tence of Israel: “previous wars were in de¬fense against aggression. For the firsttime, war was not a response to provoca¬tion.” Later, Timerman says that his mus-ings seem simplistic “for anyone whoJacobo TimermanSIGN OF A NEW ISRAEL?In contrast, Timerman feels an organictie to the culture of the kibbutz:“My generation was brought upwith the conviction that the kibbutzand its way represented the moraltraditions of the Jewish people aswell as the political conscience thatcould lead them to become a normalpeople in a democratic state. Beingin a kibbutz ... allows us to feel theumbilical cord that unites us with thepioneers who forged the nation.”These views presented, Timerman holdsthat the “entire structure of moral princi¬ples and intellectual honesty” brought toIsrael by its founders is being destroyedby the pettiness and hatred of the Sephar¬dim, and these forces are led and person¬ified by Menachem Begin. It is only withthis judgement in mind that rhetoricalflourishes like the following take on coher¬ent meaning:“We believed ourselves indestructi¬ble because we were watching onlythe madmen from outside our fron¬tiers, and we remained defenselessagainst our own madmen.”“We,” of course, refers to those who shareand uphold the “entire structure of moralprinciples and intellectual honesty” withwhich Israel was founded; “our own mad¬men” are those who apparently hold inimi¬cal traits. Timerman’s explanations areshot through with the contempt many Euro¬pean Jews have for the Sephardim, and I Timerman has termed the invasion“Sharon's War” because it was launchedand directed with that singularity of pur¬pose, that tenacity, which is Sharon'salone. Timerman met Sharon once, around1969. and the General spent some timeoutlining the elements of his successfulSinai campaign of the 1967 War. As theGeneral talked“he became more excited. My igno¬rance of military matters did notfaze him, and he replied to each ofmy political questions in terms ofmilitary strategy. It seems that forSharon any political contradictioncan be resolved with the proper mili¬tary move.”Timerman's anxiety over Sharon hasbeen vindicated, as Sharon's War tried tosolve the political contradictions betweenthe Israeli and Palestinian peoples by mili¬tarily crushing the P.L.O. The war also pro¬vided the Begin government with sometime in which it could further strengthen itsgrip on the West Bank and Gaza. However,Timerman is more concerned with Israelisociety as a whole than with its politicians,because to his eyes, that society stakes outthe parameters of debate within what isan extremely political country. The bestway to understand Israeli politics is firstto examine Israeli society; and this societypublicly debated the pros and cons of doesn’t live in Israel.” Indeed they dohave a disjointed tone about them, similar,perhaps, to the wonder of a child, or therealization that successful suicides invari¬ably result in death. For Timerman, theerosion of the “moral idea that Jews haveof themselves” was a result of Sharon'sWar.Timerman’s primary audience is Jews inthe Diaspora. After the massacre at Sabraand Shatila he holds:“Only the world's Jewish people, Ibelieve, can now do something for us(Israel). The Diaspora Jews whohave maintained the values of ourmoral and cultural traditions —those values now trampled on hereby intolerance and Israeli national¬ism —”must, essentially, save Israel from her Se-pha'dim. Timerman, since his immigrationto Israel three years ago, has discovered“an intimacy” with her geography, andcomes to the conclusion that the continua¬tion of Jewish life must be carried on inIsrael. “To try to guess at the possibilityof survival in remote places,...is almostlike complicity with the horror, an irre¬verence in the face of so much pain.”It is against this deep emotional commit¬ment to Israel that Timerman's stridentcharges against Begin and Sharon shouldbe understood. The bitterness with which he denounces both of them speaks of a be¬trayal on a personal level. Begin's manip¬ulation of the Holocaust to quash politicaldissent in Israel against the war, and todismiss all foreign protests of the same, isrepugnant to the point of sacrilege for Ti¬merman. And Sharon’s bald lies about thereason for and the scope of the invasionare cause for vituperative comment fromthe author.Most damnable for Timerman, however— and this is connected to Begin's manipu¬lation of the symbols and memories of theHolocaust — is the way Begin has used theprinciples of democratic coalition-buildingto bring about a non-democratic state. Ti¬merman debates the use of “fascist” to de¬scribe such a state but declines to charac¬terize Begin’s Israel as such because of the“connotations the Holocaust has engravedon the Jewish people.” However, he doesterm the Begin government “reactionaryand anti-democratic,” and the concessionsit has made to “intolerant religiousgroups” in order to maintain its majorityin the Knesset threaten to make Israeli so¬ciety “more closed, more intolerant, (and)more fundamentalist.”Perhaps Timerman overstates the caseagainst the Begin government in light ofhis central fear: that the dream of thefounders of Israel will not be preserved.Timerman insists that the Diaspora's con¬cern for “the continuity” of Israel must beexpressed in actions which will in turn “re¬tain the ideals that give birth to this na¬tion.” Throughout The Longest War the.message is that one can love Israel, as Ti¬merman obviously does, and still ex¬coriate its present leaders.Along these lines, Timerman favorablymentions the joint statement by threeJews of world prominence — PierreMendes-France, Philp Klutznick, andNahum Goldmann — made from Paris inJuly. 1982. This brief statement, includedin the book, deemed it “essential” that a“political agreement between Israeli andPalestinian nationalism” be broughtabout “without delay,” with “mutual rec¬ognition” as a starting point. Timermanbelieves that “the future of the Israeli andPalestinian people is spelled out better inthe proposal of Mendes-France, Klutznickand Goldmann” than in the plans of Mr.Begin.In fact, in contrast to the rhetoric ofBegin, Timerman feels that after the inva¬sion the Israeli people can no longer avoidinitiating an understanding of the rights ofthe Palestinian people, the “other” withwhich they are inextricably bound. I hopethis is true, and regret that it took the car¬nage of the past seven months to launchthis change of consciousness, if in fact ithas happened. However, perhaps therewas no other way to bring it about thanthrough a war with the “other,” one un¬complicated by wder Arab participation.Direct contact with the Palestinians in Le¬banon has shattered the Israeli govern¬ment's characterization of all Palestiniansas terrorists; and Thomas L. Friedman ofThe New York Times has suggested thatthe Lebanese invasion was the Palestin-ian-lsraeli war which occurred 34 yearstoo late.A nation like Israel, regularly criticizedby other nations, could have rejected theworld's withering accusations about theLebanese invasion by questioning the mo¬tives of the accusers. However it is an en¬tirely different situation for the Israelipeople to have their sons come back frommilitary duty and tell them of the fury anddestruction which results when a well-oiledand technologically advanced war ma¬chine is placed in the hands of “obses¬sive,” “paranoid,” or simply “unbal¬anced” men like Begin, Sharon and Eitan.It is perhaps in light of these horrorstories, carried back from the front byIsraeli soldiers and journalists, that a pop¬ular consensus will coalesce around the Pa¬lestinian issue in Israeli politics.Above all else, Timerman asserts, allJews know what it is like to be the victim;and the author feels that this identifica¬tion will be directed toward the Palestin¬ians and could override the contrary ten¬dencies of nationalism and intolerance sovisible in Mr. Begin, and perhaps irrevoc¬ably ingrained in the Israeli society by theSephardim. Let us hope that Timerman’sbeiief is not only well-founded but can betranslated into action before it is too latefor both the Israelis and the Palestinians.THE GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, JANUARY 14. 1983—7SATURDAY 1NIGHTSERVICEmmBy Sharon PeshkinAt the side of a stage, oncethe pulpit Of priests, stands thecomedian.

Cornelll10—FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1983—THE GREY CITY JOURNALMONEY, MEGALOMANIA, AND MURDERby Shawn MageeVeronika Voss (Rosel Zech) — former Ufastar of the forties — is careening towardoblivion in the early fifties, totally unableto accept the fact that her career, as wellas her personal life, has perished and willnever rise again from the rubble of WWII.The opulent villa she once shared with herhusband (Armin Mueller-Stahl) now housesonly shrouded mementos; on the street heronce famous face draws only blank stares.Taking refuge from this reality, Veronikaretreats to the care of Frau Dr. Katz (Cor¬nelia Froboess) who, for initially unclearreasons, takes Veronika under her person¬al round-the-clock care.The still elegant Veronika, in one of hernocturnal forays, meets a stocky sports re¬porter, Robert (Hilmar Thate) and fills himwith a half-factual, half-fantastic story ofher life. He is perplexed yet fascinated byher — passively attracted — and agrees tomeet her for lunch. He then realizes thatsomething is very much amiss with Veroni¬ka — who is usually either abnormally an¬imated or heavily sedated — and, usinghis reporter’s skills, Robert uncovers an in¬terlocking grid of money, megalomania,and murder. It seems that the doctor andher assistant have devised a schemewhereby they attract wealthy people asnew patients, addict them to morphine,and then induce them, in subtly psychologi¬cal ways, to commit suicide — the patientsbequeathing their fortunes to the doctor ingratitude for services rendered. Evenmore bizarre is Veronika’s apparentawareness of the plan and yet her inabili¬ty to free herself from her dependence,both physically and psychologically, on thedoctor — despite Robert’s intervention.Fassbinder depicts several fascinatinglyambiguous relationships in Veronika Voss,that between Veronika and the doctorbeing among the most enigmatic. Althoughthe horror of the ultimate design serves asa constant backdrop, there are scenes inwhich the doctor appears to treat Veroni¬ka with genuine affection and tenderness— frequently in the form of a lingering ca- «ress. There are other scenes in which the §doctor heartlessly berates and belittles >the cowering Veronika — constantly as- oserting her dominance — reminding her —menacingly that she is, after all, Veroni- ^ka’s “very best girlfriend." Veronika’s 31most frequent reaction is that of fear andloathing, but also, at times, of fierce loyal¬ty. After the doctor and her assistant havecommitted a murder, it is Veronika who ul¬timately fends off the authorities, as wellas Robert, whom she describes to them assimply an over-ardent admirer with anover-active imagination.The relationship between Veronika andRobert is equally puzzling, characterizedprimarily by Veronika’s own schizophrenicreactions to him. She alternately begs himto help her, then shuts him down cold whenhe tries; she begs him to make love to herand then wants to throw him out of thehouse before he’s had a chance to put hispants back on. Robert, for the most part,reacts not out of passion, but compassion;he realizes that Veronika is a woman onthe edge and he is simply extending ahuman hand to try to snatch her from the brink.Although these primary relationshipsare dealt with in detail, there are also nu¬merous secondary situations to confoundthe viewer. For example, who is that bigblack American serviceman (GuentherKaufmann) — by now a standard featurein Fassbinder’s films — and why is he liv¬ing with the doctor and her assistant? Is hesimply a house-boy — or is he a sexual fix¬ture? Is he involved in or simply peripher¬al to the plan? These are questions Fass¬binder never answers despite going togreat pains to underscore visually,through several ingenious shots andscenes, the sergeant’s presence.The doctor and her assistant — also awoman — form an intriguing constellationas well. The two are obviously very close;Fassbinder often shows them in tight phys¬ical proximity — bowing their heads to whisper to one another, sharing an inti¬mate dinner, or framed in their apartmentwindow, Dr. Katz peering over her assis¬tant’s shoulder out onto the street. Yet ev¬erything remains intimation — Fassbinderdeclines to delineate any of the relation¬ships unequivocably.The visuals in Veronika Voss are everybit as important as the narrative aspects.The film is shot in stunning high-contrastblack and white, with fewer grey tonesthan old original (ie pre-color) black andwhite prints, so that the effect is strikinglymodern, rather than nostalgically“period Fassbinder also uses soft focuslenses so that the whites seem almost lu¬minescent, and reflections or backgroundlights glint off the screen. One of the mostvisually powerful sequences occurs whenRobert initially enters the interior of Dr.Katz’s living/work space. Everything —the walls, the ceilings, the furniture — islight-drenched white — so bright that thecontours of individual objects seem to meltinto the background. Even Dr. Katz andher assistant, who are dressed in white labcoats, blend beautifully into their sur¬roundings.Fassbinder however, replaces the sim¬plistic color symbolism of movies past —the good guys in the white hats, the badguys in black — with another interpreta¬tion. White is the color — or absence ofcolor — of certain uptight segments ofpost-war German society, depicting a corn-punctual cleanliness, even sterility. It alsoexemplifies a tendency to white-wash aguilt-flecked past and sweep a sordid his¬tory under the rug. Evidence of this ten¬dency in Dr. Katz — and the segment of so¬ciety she represents — is shown by herrefusal to continue to treat the concentra¬tion camp survivors when it becomes pain¬ful for her. Everything is clean and orderly— and as cold as chiseled stone.Now that Rainer Werner Fassbinder isgone, U.S. releases of his more obscure orless accessible films are being planned,and critical and scholarly interest in hiswork will no doubt increase. Many of hisfilms lend themselves to this kind of in¬tense investigation, and Veronika Voss isno exception.BRUNCH IS BETTER THAN CHURCH"-BETH SUTTER,MINISTERIALSTUDIESBy Paul MollicaThe Mortal Micronauts (Fresh Sounds): TheMicronauts are a teenager band fromKansas and this is their first LP. Their ap¬proach is “punk” in the traditional, Ameri¬can sense—music that could be made byanyone armed with the tools of producti¬on: some amps, a guitar, a bass, a drumkit, and a throaty vocalist. Since I still lookon rock as a kind of folk music, I thinkthere should be more of this stuff around.Still, I have some reservations about thisparticular album, which were mostly in¬spired by a bad mixing job—the bass islistless and the drum set sounds like a tin-can full of nails. I was also prettyunthrilled by the songs on side one, which Ihave to fight to remember. The secondside, however, is quite manic. It’s held to¬gether remarkably by vocalist Dean Lu-bensky, who puts the polish on the bestsongs—“Shopping Spree”, “Blond-HairedGhost”, and especially “Police Song”. Thisguy absolutely shrieks through the guitar, sort of the Bill Grahmn of the 80 s. Most allof the Big Names of pre-hardcore punk arerepresented here, making it a good albumfor those interested in investigatingAmerican punk. For my purposes, as some¬one who listens to this stuff a lot, this ispretty spotty—good tracks by Bad Brainsand Circle Jerks, poor ones by Crucifix andD.O.A. There are, however, three out¬standing selections, the three I’ll pick thisLP out of the bin for: The Dead Kennedys’“I Am the Owl” (which is about domesticsurveillance), Black Flag's “Scream”, andFlipper's eight-minute opus, “Life”. Thesesongs say a lot about the bands that per¬form them—which is what a live recordshould do.The Fartz World Full of Hate (Virus): This is high-quality metal-punk from Seattle. Allsixteen selections are industrial strengththrobbers, with stylistic touches. For in¬stance, a lot of these start out with vocal¬ist Blaine shouting out the song's title (ap¬parently from the back of the studio) whilethe drummer rattles and the amps groan inanticipation. Nearly every song ends witha bare hint of noise—perhaps the sound ofthe instruments cooling down. I especiallylike how everything gets colored by cym¬bal crashes. Finally, I think Blaine has oneof the best muscular vocal styles in hard¬core. The happy coincidence of all of this ison “World Full of Hate”, an instant punkclassic that features a speedy bass line, anoveramplified guitar, and some greatlyrics about anarchy and cynicism. Thereare other good tunes—“Happy Apathy”and “Heroes (Cum Home in Boxes)” come tomind—and for roots, they close with aBlack Sabbath number. It makes me un¬derstand why some folks love AC/DC somuch; I can’t play this one enough.Rat Music for Rat People (Go! Records):Samplers have lately been a convenient,economical way for tiny labels to promotetheir artists. Some of these records arequite exquisite. This is a collection of liveperformances at various clubs in San Fran¬cisco, in 1982; it was compiled by Paul Rat,with an affecting, adnoid-twisting wail.The anti-authoritarian lyrics are typicallynaive and undemanding, which goes all thefurther to prove that these are GENUINESIXTEEN-YEAR-OLDS in charge. So anyonewho believes in the amateur values of rockshould invest in this, if only for “PoliceSong,” which is a classic. (P.S. for Snobs:William Burroughs wrote some lyrics forthis, and poses with the kids for a liner pic¬ture.)THE GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1983—11I find it kind of funnyI find it kind of sad:The dreams in which I’m dyingAre the best I've ever had. . .“Mad World", by Tears For FearsLondon punks dance the pogo at Covent Garden’s Roxy Clubby Vince MichaelFor years, England has set the trends forrock and roll music. Everything new and in¬novative seems to have come from or beenestablished in this tiny island which onceruled the world. And while MaggieTh-atcher is no Claudius or Caligula, the lifeand style of the English is perhaps akin tothat of a former Empire in decline. Image isall. Cities not of people but of personalstatements. One such city is Leeds. On thesurface it looks the typical English Indus¬trial Revolution city, its ridges and valleyscarpeted by row upon row of red brickflats, unceremoniously punctuated withantique smokestacks and blackened stonechurches. But like every English city, theprewar architecture is only a backdrop forthe fascinating mixture of people andstyles which have emerged since the early1950's, that is, the culture of youth androck and roll. Punks, mods, skinheads, newromantics, teds, rastafari, rockers, two-tones, and headbangers, form at once a £powerful and confused statement, worded -cin clothes, music, hair, and social action. ujEver since Western society created the «teenager tnirty odd years ago, the revolu-tion of youth and energy against state andsociety (the latter slowly being engulfedby the former) has been waged, first in theexclusively male uniforms of the Young Ed-wardians. the Teddy Boys, later (and now)linked to the frustrated tomcat sexualityof rockabilly. On the heels of post warprosperity came the upwardly mobileMods, in conflict with their working classcontemporaries, the Rockers. Then in theSixties the British dominated the scenewith the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kinks,and others. In America the intellectualBeats were incorporated as psychedelia,and Woodstock made the revolt seem pro¬foundly social and political. But it all diedin the Seventies as the corporate statemarketed youth, and channeled the revo¬lution into headbanging potsmoking me¬tallic pap at once sating and destroyingthe emotional/intellectual impulses of theteenager.The roots of the current panoply of “NewMusic" began in 1976/77, as Elizabeth U’sSilver Jubilee was overshadowed by theemergence of Punk Rock. The Sex Pistols,born of a dying musical form, sadomaso¬chism, and economic depression (postwarprosperity had finally run its course), ledthe Anarchy Tour of the U.K. as “God SaveThe Queen" sold two million copies— roughly equalling unemployment—despiteofficial bans. Punk had emerged fullgrown from the head of EMI to trash themusic, explode the sexuality, and anar-chize the youth culture. The sexism andsexualism of rock was made a grim parodyby the repulsive attractions of horrormakeup, spiked hair, and leather gear.Mellow, pot, and acid—the illusions ofWoodstock nation—were out, replaced byrage, violence, and speed.The new uniforms were brazen, sensu¬ous, and repulsive, the new lyrics abra¬sive, sexual, and rebellious. Punk herald¬ed the death knell of youth culture, whichis rock and roll. Bondage leatherwear andsavage haircuts do more than deny beautyand hope—they also deny real pleasure,real sexuality, and real identity. Theydeny the music of rock and roll and deny ina crashing apocalyptic way the emotionsand actions (fucking) which named themusic long before white people appro¬priated it. Rock and roll is dead. Sex isdead. Youth is dead. Society is dead. It is alogical progression that leaves the Englishpunks of 1983 with only a single state¬ment: Punks Not Dead. The last five years have witnessed theemergence or re-emergence of Mods—stillanthemized in the Who’s “My Genera¬tion"—Teds and Rockabilly, Futurists andElectronic Pop, New Romantics, and Reg¬gae. Their music and styles were swiftlymade part of the inevitable recording in¬dustry, and it took the reactionary, fascis¬ts, violence-for-violence’s-sake skinheadsto again shake up the rest of society. Somemay view the skins as the antithesis of theSex Pistols, a revolution gone full circle.They parade the Union Jack, the Queen,and advocate racial hatred against the liv¬ing legacies of Empire—blacks, Jews,Arabs, Asians, and Pakistanis. But theyare not the opposite. Like punk (originallytermed “dole-queue rock") the skins are aviolent reaction against a nation dyingeconomically and politically, a chronicallyunemployed sector of youth who havecreated a music and style which makesthem well nigh unemployable. They standfor nothing but that something is wrong.None of the many styles and politics inBritish youth culture are adopted, unlikethose of the comfortable Americans, whocan choose to groove with the Doors or spitCOPIES COPIES COPIES (COPIES COPIES COPIES (COPIES COPIES COPIES (Copies The Way You Want Them!• Same Size or Reduced • Colored Papers• 1 or 2 Sided • Card Stocks• Collated or Sorted • Fine Stationary• Plastic Spiral Binding • S%'i x 11 or Legal SizeFast, sharp, economical copies from anything handwritten, typed, or printed size-tor size, or in anyreduction ratio on your choice of colored or whitebond paper!XEROX® COPYINGbw per copy8 V* " x 11“20k White BondHARPER COURT COPY CENTER5210 S.

Punks and skins revel withoutjoy or hope in the decay of decline and de¬humanization. All of the tribalisms of theNew Music are a kicking and screamingproduct of the brave new world which haserased hope; made truth and beauty afarce.They are not politicians or musicians.They are simply human beings, alive withyouth and energy and creativity, trappedin a blind alley of social planning, dwin¬dling resources, and stagnated thought.British youth culture has always had thisstrong link between musical culture andday-to-day social reality. You still seegroups of Mods, punks, rockers, etc., walk¬ing the streets of Leeds like gangs. The lat¬est bourgeois “cause" in England is AnimalLiberation, which suggests a certain analo¬gy to the masses of youth with No Future.Stripped of its natural plumage, the cocknonetheless retains its instinct to paradedespite the confines of its battery cage. Inthe human battery chicken the result is adeliberately unappealing, self-denyingstyle that calls attention to its squalor.Stripped of its freedom, the battery henretains an instinct to mate, despite theprewritten destiny of egg or offspring,controlled by the powers that be. Strippedof its natural home, the bird yet yearns tofight, and would rather die kicking andgouging its own cellmates than become anunfeeling producer and faceless cog. Theresult is everywhere a violent assertion ofanimal vitality, of emotion without direc¬tion, and of action without result.Nowadays the styles are confused, bothas trends change and mingle, and as thesystem adopts and promotes certaintrends. They made Adam Ant the biggeststar of 1981, and in 1982 he was nought,falling before a new media blitz of apoliti¬cal funk and disco. It seems hopeless. Eachantiestablishment movement will beswept up and marketed in palatable form,this is also the history, with some excep¬tions, of the “New Wave" in the UnitedStates, where the controlling culturalmechanisms are a bit more sophisticatedand efficient. Innovative American groupslike the Dead Kennedys or the now popu¬lar Stray Cats, had to go to England andrelease their first albums overseas beforean American label would accept them.Not all of the New Music is nihilistic. TheFuturist and New Romantic styles are notfull of pessimism. They encourage dancingand romancing as opposed to kicking andscreaming, and the futurists celebrate thesilicon chipification of humankind. They re¬cognize the reality, but choose to ignore it.Be happy now, since tomorrow may notcome. Thus all of the styles in this cultureare from the perspective of youth: stand¬ing energetic and receptive at the thresh¬old of life, finding that there are no pathsto carve or hopes to lead, but only chan¬nels to choose and commercials to watch.These movements may. be dances ofdeath amid the encroaching flames of theapocalypse, but it is as such that they aredreams and visions produced by the fearand verve of destruction, movementswhich must incorporate all the lust and ac¬tion of life into whatever precious littletime remains. They fulfill the purpose ofrock and roll described by Pete Townsendas “capable of both uplifting you, and rub¬bing your nose in the shit." Unlike Ameri¬can rock, British rock- has always had thisessential connection to social reality—tocreate like a shaman the spark of poeticaction. Not music you can dance to, butmusic that forces you to dance as theflames lick higher. “Rock allows you toface up to your problems and then to danceall over them." says Townsend. The real¬ism is perhaps now more than ever fata¬lism. And the greatest example of theparadox is that a near decade of contin¬ued decline, increased nuclear threat, andstagnated party politics has produced themost exciting, creative, and variegatedepoch in English music and style. Thedreams and dances of death, the orgasmsof the expiring laboratory goat, are thebest they’ve ever had.12—FRIDAY, JANUARY 14 1983—THE GREY CITY JOURNAL 'The Chicago Maroon•Copy editors•Proofreaders•Photographers•News writers•Feature writers•Sports writers•LayoutWe invite all interested students tojoin our staff.

Joseph Putna, 50, of Brook¬field, Wis. was arrested in Milwaukee oncharges of interstate transportation of sto¬len property. The value of the books is es¬timated at over $500,000.Putna, “a self-described communicationsconsultant,” according to Chicago Tribune,is also suspected of stealing at least 130other rare and valuable books from otherMidwest libraries.Crerar's holdings are exclusively scientif¬ic and technical works. The library houses800,000 books and 9500 periodicals. A build¬ing to hold the collection on the U of Ccampus is now being constructed on a lot be¬tween 57th and 58th streets and Drexel andEllis avenues.FBI agents found 300 rare books in cratesin Putna’s Brookfield home Wednesday.These books may have been stolen fromother Midwest libraries, FBI agents andCrerar librarians told the Tribune. FBIAgent Robert Spiel said that a San Franci¬sco rare book dealer named W arren Howellgave Putna's name to federal authorities.President of the Crerar Library Oliver Tuth-ill said that Howell has sold almost 150 of the200 books he purchased from Putnam duringthe last six years, the Tribune said.Tuthill said that Putna began to visitCrerar in 1977. He said that Putna was theninterested in viewing “some early medicaldrawings for a Milwaukee advertisingagency.” Putna studied some books by Wil¬liam Harvey during one of his visits, and rBy Edward AchuckAt Lake Forest College, the mens swim¬ming team won its first meet last Wednes¬day against Augustana by a score of 68-44.The women’s swimming team, however,was crushed 21-125.A win in the first event, the 400-metermedley relay, spurred the men’s team tofive addition individual and team victories.U of C won both relay races: the team ofChuck Coant, Everett Lee, Alex Pound, andRick Kloos won the 400-meter medley relay,and the team of John Hotchkiss, Phil Hoff¬man, Mike Ruddat, and Mike Noble won the200-meter freestyle relay. Ruddat, Hotch¬kiss won one individual event each, and Can- series of books by Harvey, including therare Circulation of the Blood, were stolenfrom the Crerar collection.Tuthill said that Putna was able to stealthe books by befriending an elderly libraryclerk, who died in 1981. Tuthill told the Tri¬bune that “we think Putna took the clerk todinner and got to know him quite well. W’ealso think Putna made an impression of ourkeys and returned on a Sunday to stealmany of the books now missing. We also dis¬covered that the deceased clerk allowedPutna into the (rare book) vault alone. Theclerk was one of the few people who had akey to the vault.”The FBI had been investigating The casefor two months. Spiel said that a libraryaudit showed that 370 books were missingfrom the rare book vault since 1979, prompt¬ing library officials to contact federal inves¬tigators.Spiel said that the crated books are be¬lieved to be “extremely rare.” He said.“There is a possibility that either the Creraraudit underestimated its loss, or that thebooks were taken from their libraries or col¬lections.”The stolen works include a first edition ofCopernicus' De Revolutionibus Orbium Coe-lestium, Libri VI, a 17th century printing ofHobbes’ Leviathan, and books by Newton,Galileo, Descartes, and Sir Walter Ra¬leigh.The FBI said that a work by Descarteswas found Wednesday in Putna’s home.Howell told the FBI that Putna sold booksto him under the name “Putnam.” The Tri¬bune said that the FBI concluded thatHowell believed the books were smuggledfrom East Germany.eva won two individual events. Ruddat tookfirst in the 50-meter freestyle, and Hotchkisswon the 400-meter freestyle. Caneva placedfirst in both the 1-meter and 3-meter divingevents.This Augustana women’s swimmingteam, having national caliber swimmers,convincingly defeated the Women’s team.The U of C team was not able to put forth itsbest effort because a few strong swimmersdid not participate in the meet. The womendid not take first in any event.The next meet for the men is at Illinois In¬stitute of Technology against LI T. andLoyols Saturday, Jan. 22. The George Wil¬liams Invitational is the next meet for thewomen this following Saturday. ByrneContinued from page oneCritics of the mayor assert that she doesnot approve of such a commission. Theystate that the proposed commission wouldnot engage in rent control, but deal with in¬dividual cases of alleged rent-gouging. Al¬derman Bloom has stated that he supportssuch a commission and the mayor does not.Both Daley and Washington have advocatedthe establishment of such a commission.Concerning specific issues of the currentmayoral campaign, Byrne was asked abouther campaign fund and whether she wouldsupport a limit on campaign contributions.In running for mayor in 1979, Byrne pro¬mised not to conduct city business withthose who gave more than $1000 dollars toher campaign fund. Thursday, however,Byrne said that she would not support alimit on campaign contributions, as herlarge fund has enabled her to benefit severalcharitable causes.In her four years as mayor, Byrne hasbeen acclaimed as the champion fundraiserin Illinois, raising nearly $10 million.

Byrnestated that the candidates had agreed to aseries of debates as a condition for the Sun-Times debate. When the scheduling of theseries of debates was not finalized, Repre¬sentative Washington and Byrne both with¬drew from the debate. Both the sponsors ofthe debate and supporters of Richard Daleyassert that participation in future debateswas not a pre-condition for participation inthe Sun-Times debate. Some political ana¬lysts had expected Washington and Byrne toperform well in the upcoming debates, andnoted that Washington would benefit greatlyfrom the exposure provided by the debates.Yet, ironically, Byrne and Washington werethe first to withdraw from the first sche¬duled debate.Daley will speak in the Public Policy Lec¬ture Series at Breasted Hall next Thursdayat 4 p.m.linked to The Sex Pistols. This all-Collegedance is sponsored by College Orientationand the Major Activities Board, and is freeto all U of C students.As a special event just for those whowould have been participating in GreenLake (i.e. freshmen, transfers, and orienta¬tion aides), there will be a special 18th cen¬tury dinner followed by a performance inMandel Hall by Robert Klein, erstwhilemember of Second City who frequentlyhosts the Tonight Show.

It seems the attraction of IM t-shirtsfor the co-ed volleyball finals might be themore likely candidate, as the big show¬downs between the winners of the under¬graduate residence, undergraduate inde¬pendent, ✓ and graduate leagues drawnearer.In the Graduate league, InternationalHouse advanced to the finals by a Broad¬view forfeit. Its opposition was determinedby a fierce contest between the Lost Califor¬nians and the Supply Spikers which lastedone hour and fifteen minutes with the Cali¬fornians finally emerging victorious. After15 minutes of repose for the west-coastersthey were at it again with I-House. Unques¬tionably, these are the two best volleyballteams in Hyde Park. Anyone who has neverseen women spiking on a men’s net wouldmarvel at the way in which these two teamsplayed. Their match lasted an hour and 35minutes of solid setting, spiking, and beauti¬ful digs. In the third game, the Lost Califor¬nians seemed to miss the spunk that theyhad started with twro and a half hours ago,and I-House moved in for the kill, escapingwith a 16-14 victory.Meanwhile, in the Undergraduate Inde¬pendent league N.U.T.S. and For the Sportof It also played a three game match. FTSOIwon the first game easily, but seemed tolose all its spirit when it switched sides ofthe net. The height of Chris Moore and theconsistency of the team’s women helpedN.U.T.S. to glide to an easy win over a de¬moralized opponent. The game is currently under protest by PTSOI, who claim that oneof the N.U.T.S. women was not eligible toplay. Depending on the outcome of the pro¬test, one of the teams will be in the finals.Lndergraduate Residence play was fierceas Hale’s women and players Rob Bolandand Jim Pathos proved to be too much for anoverrated Compton team in two games.They’ll meet Hitchcock-Snell, who ad¬vanced to the winners bracket after defeat¬ing Thompson in three games. Comptonbeat Thompson in the losers’ bracket andw'on again against Breckinridge. The loserof the Hitchcock Snell game will play Comp¬ton, and the winner of that match will ad¬vance to meet Hale for the title. The under¬graduate residence and independentwinners will play, and then that winner willsubmit itself to some severe punishment atthe hands of International House.In men’s undergraduate residence basket¬ball, after a little re-thinking, the Maroon isproud to present its list of the top five under¬graduate teams. They are, in order: Cham¬berlin, championed by Don Pasulka andPaul Carlisle; Hitchcock, with the magnifi¬cent Kevin Peterson and Ian Weber; Green¬wood, w'hose praise was sung Tuesday;Upper Rickert, with superstars Darryl Rob¬erts and Chris Nadon; and, tied for the fifth,the surprising Fishbein, with Nick Perryand Peter Himmelstein; and Fallers A, withwildman Steve Krone. Everything is still upin the air, as these teams with excellent ath¬letes and records vie for first place. Othernotable teams are Hale, Tufts, and FIGI.Yah of the Week: Lower Flint advanced tothe semi-finals with a record of 1-6. Its winwas a forfeit. Ah, everything is possible atthe U of C. Everyone gets a fair shake. Top ranked Chamberlin House displays its defensive skills on the court.Hoopsters trounce Lake Forest 73-63with 21 points. Sophomore forward NickMeriggioli then finished off the streak bytaking a pass from Libert and tossing in arunning, underhanded shot off the glass tomake the score 55-47 wth 5:32 left.The Foresters never climbed to closerthan six for the remainder of the game.One other key play came with 9:12 re¬maining in the game, when Forester pointguard and captain Larry Kucharski drewhis fourth ioul and left the game for awhile.Forester coach Charlie Miller commentedthat “it’s hard to say whether losing Larryreally hurt us.”“What we needed then were good perime¬ter shooters,” he added. “We needed a bigplay, and Larry’s not a big play man. If welost anything it may have been defensive¬ly.”It became obvious though that wthout Ku¬charski in the backcourt the Foresters triedto force the ball more, and the quick Maroondefense capitalized, holding the visitors tojust two baskets over the next five min¬utes.A Libert basket gave Chicago a 35-27 leadat the start of the second half, but two bas¬kets by Ken Kelly and one by Kucharskiquickly cut the margin to two. Lake Foresteventually tied the score at 39 with 15:21 ona hoop by Chris Stenzel.The teams traded baskets for the next fiveminutes, until a Wade Lewis jumper from 12feet out put Chicago in the lead for good,47-45 with 9:48 left. In that five minute span,the Foresters had three chances to take thelead. Twice turnovers stopped them, andonce they had three shots in a row fromright under the basket, but none fell in forthem.Miller referred to man-to-man defense ashis team's “bread and butter,” saying “weplay ‘in your face’ basketball.” To combatthis Chicago spread its offense out to relievethe constant pressure, and relied on thequickness of guards Kuby and Lewis tomove the ball around effectively.The Maroons style won as the game un¬folded. Chicago surged to a 21-14 lead with7:30 left in the first half. But two steals byKelly and Kucharski, a Chicago turnover,and some fine passing by Kelly all resultedBy Frank LubyA six point burst late in the second halfbroke open a tight game and helped the Uni¬versity of Chicago men’s basketball team toa 73-63 victory over Lake Forest Wednesdaynight at the Henry Crown Field House.The triumph ups Chicago’s record to 6-2on the season, 2-1 in conference play.The important basket in that stretch camefrom senior guard Eric Kuby, who drove thelane on the fast break to give Chicago a 51-47advantage with 7:34 remaining in the game.Prior to that basket, neither team couldgather a sustained attack. The Forestershad tied the game four times but couldnever take the lead, while Chicago — due tomissed free thrown and some sloppy play in¬side — blew several chances to build a biglead.A Kuby steal on Lake Forest’s next pos¬session eventually resulted in a basket byThe Maroons romped over the Forest¬ers Wednesday night 73-63. Midwest ConferenceWade Lewis lays in two of his 18 pointsagainst Lake Forest.in Lake Forest points, and the Maroons’lead dwindled to two, 25-23, with four min¬utes left. The lead stayed at two until Lewis,on a feed from Adam Green, made the score31-27 with 41 seconds left. Another Lewisbasket at the buzzer accounted for the 33-27halftime score.Lewis had 18 for Chicago, while Meriggiolihad 14. Chicago assistant coach Jim Harge-sheimer added that Meriggioli’s big contri¬bution was his defense against Forester for¬ward Jerald Davis, whom he called “one ofthe best one-on-one players around.”Kelly led the Foresters with 18.
