The meaning of Kuviasungnerkpage three Grey City JournalVIRGIN PRUNESGCJ cover—The Chicago MaroonVolume 92, No. 31 The Chicago Maroon ©Copyright 1983 The University of Chicago Friday, January 28, 1983Nicholas justifies graduate fee;calls reaction‘misplaced anxiety’By William RauchIn a letter printed in today’sMaroon, Deputy Provost Ralph Ni¬cholas responded to graduate stu¬dents’ fears that the Universitywould require non-registered PhDcandidates finishing their disserta¬tions to pay a $500 continuous reg¬istration fee.Nicholas said he has participat¬ed in discussions on changing thetuition structure, in which it hasbeen suggested that tuition pay¬ments be “spread over the entireperiod from entry into graduatestudy until the completion of thePhD.” Students finishing their dis¬sertations early would pay less tu¬ition, Nicholas said.The Baker Commission on Grad¬uate Education suggested that non-registereed PhD candidates finish¬ing their dissertations should pay a“nominal” registration fee. In re¬sponse, the Student Association onGraduate Education (SAGE) is¬sued a report which said that the$500 per quarter fee proposed bythe administration is “an exorbi¬tant price to pay for maintainingstudent status.”Under the present tuition struc¬ture, students pay tuition for threeyears and then become “nonregis-tered students.” Nicholas’s pro¬posal calls for spreading out thethree years of tuition paymentsover the period from into graduatestudies to completion of the disser¬tation.Nicholas said that restructuringtuition is not “a scheme for earlyimplementation” and “would af¬fect only students of future years.”He said that the University wouldnot impose a registration fee oncurrent graduate students whohave paid tuition for three yearsand are now nonregistered.Julia Rath, one of the membersof the SAGE committee, said thatstudents should not be required topay a mandatory fee after com¬pleting three years of graduate ed¬ucation. She said that the Universi¬ ty could offer these studentsservices such as housing privi¬leges, and access to health insur¬ance, for an optional nominal fee,but that graduate students shouldnot be required to pay for theseservices if they do not want them.She said that spreading out tu¬ition payments over a student’s en¬tire graduate education will notprovide him with an incentive tograduate earlier. She said that cur¬rent graduate students must writegood dissertations if they are tocompete for teaching jobs, andthat producing a dissertation ofgood quality cannot be done in ashort period.Rath said that spreading out tu¬ition payments also makes gradu¬ate students rely longer on theirparents for support and hold part-time jobs. She said that working in¬ creases the amount of time re¬quired to finish a degree.Rath said that changing the tu¬ition structure would hurt studentsin the humanities and socialsciences more than it would affectstudents in the natural sciences.Students in the physical and biolog¬ical sciences finish their degreessooner than students in humanitiesand social science do. She also saidthat students in science receivefederal grants while students in so¬cial science often enter withoutaid.Rath also said that facultydelays in reading and approvingdissertations can prolong the timeit takes a student to complete hisdegree requirements. She said thatshould tuition be restructured,such delays would cost the studentmoney.

A par¬ticular problem with the old formwas in the category of “Term-Time Employment” listed under“College Award.”Several students felt that theyhad been deceived when they foundout that ‘term-time employment’referred not to a work/study job orsome other job guaranteed by theUniversity, but to a student’s regu¬lar, extra-curricular job, onewhich he had to find himself.Students said that having seenthis type of employment listed withCollege grant assistance, they as¬sumed that the University wouldhelp them find these jobs, at leastto a greater extent than it does.While job listings of major em¬ployers in the area are available atthe Office of Career Counseling,the term-time employment is paidfor by private employers and, notby University funds.Some students said they wereturned away from jobs since theamount recommended on their fi¬nancial award statements (inother words, their need) was abovewhat the employer could afford.In a letter to the Office of CollegeAid, students asked that adminis¬trators make it clear that term-time employment does not refer toguaranteed jobs waiting for stu¬dents upon their arrival at school.Recently, the Office of CollegeAid contacted students who hadcomplained, asking for their ad¬ vice and recommendations for arevised form. One of the students,Jeremiah Bosgang, told his im¬pressions of the response of the fi¬nancial aid officers.“I was surprised at the adminis¬tration’s receptiveness,” said Bos¬gang. “I think that Dan Hall andEleanor Borus,” the administra¬tors who handled the revising ofthe old form, “deserve to be recog¬nized by students as being very re¬ceptive to students’ input.”Bosgang commented on the newform, saying that it is “much moreclear, much less ambiguous. Therereally can’t be any reason why anystudent looking at it for the first time wouldn't be able to see whathe’s being offered and what he'sexpected to contribute.”Eleanor Borus, associate direc¬tor of College Aid, enumeratedsome of the changes in the form.“We’ve totaled all grant moneyat the top of the page,” she said,and grouped together educationalloans in one section and studentearnings in another.Summer employment earnings,which were previously listed under“Family Resources,” are nowunder earnings with term-time em¬ployment.Under “Educational Loans, ” thenew form lists both the Universi-U of C tries to stopSecurity’s union switchBy Cliff GrammichAttorneys representing the Uni¬versity are currently trying toblock an attempt by Local 710 ofthe International Brotherhood ofTeamsters from representing theUniversity’s security guards, ac¬cording to Director of Employ¬ee/Labor Relations Edward Cole¬man.The security guards are current¬ly represented in negotiations withthe University b> Local 200 of theIllinois Confederation of Police.However, Local 710 is seeking torepresent the security guardswhen their current contract ex¬pires at the end of this month. Ac¬cording to Coleman, the majorityof security guards have approvedof Teamster’s bidHowever, the University con¬tends that this intervention is ille¬ gal, and is currently appealing thecase before the National Labor Re¬lations Board. The University saysthat unions which representworkers other than securityguards, as the Teamsters do at theUniversity, are prohibited by theNational Labor Relations Act fromrepresenting security guards. Co¬leman and the University contendthat the National Labor RelationsAct would thus prohibit the Teamsters from representing the securi¬ty guards.Neither Harold Pike or Joe Mur¬ray, Local 710 officials representi¬ng the security guards in the dis-pute, were available forcomment.lx)cal 743 of the Teamsters cur¬rently represent the service andmaintenance workers and clericalworkers. ty’s recommended amount ofGuaranteed Student Loan (GSL),and the maximum amount of GSLthat the student may borrow dur¬ing that year. These two figures donot necessarily match.“We recommend amounts ofloan we think the student needs onthe basis of the student’s totai es¬timated need,” said Borus. If thestudent wishes to apply for an in¬crease in that recommendedamount, he can “borrow the dif¬ference” between the recommend¬ed loan and the maximum loan.According to Borus, the maxi¬mum GSL that any student mayborrow is $2500, although for somestudents that figure would belower.Another change in the form is theaddition of some paragraphs to the“attached memo" which accom¬panies the form. One of these para¬graphs explains the purpose ofterm-time employment and tellswhat is expected of the studentworking during school.“We expect a certain self-helpcontribution comprised of workand loan,” Borus said. “We setforth recommendations as to howto split up that recommendedamount.” She added. “There issome flexibility.”This flexibility is determined bythe amounts of loan recommendedand given as maximum. If, for ex¬ample, a student is, for some rea¬son unable to earn the amount stat¬ed under term-time employment,he may request an increase in hisloan, but only up to the maximumamount listed.Students may pick up applica¬tions for financial aid in the officebeginning Feb 1. These applica¬tions are due back by April 1, but itis recommended that they be inearlier. Returning students whohave applied for aid will be notifiedJulv 1.HUMAN RIGHTS IN EL SALVADORWe Oppose President Reagan’s Certification ofHuman Rights Improvements in El Salvador andthe Continuation of Military Aid.More than 36,000 murders have been committed in El Salvador in the last threeyears. The Catholic Church attributes the overwhelming majority of these togovernment forces. Amnesty International, the American Civil Liberties Union, theHuman Rights Commission of El Salvador, the Archbishop of San Salvador andnumerous other church and human rights organizations deny that there has beenany improvement in the human rights situation in El Salvador.We, the undersigned members of the University of Chicago, the Chicago Clusterof Theological Schools, and the Hyde Park community, in agreement with theabove named human rights organizations, deny the assertion that the humanrights situation is improving in El Salvador. We also deny the very premise that theU.S. government has the right to intervene in El Salvador.The Reagan Administration policy includes the resumption of military aid toGuatemala, a country with a serious record of human rights violations. It also in¬cludes sending military aid to the backers of the former dictator of Nicaragua tooverthrow the Nicaraguan government. This policy can only lead to a regionaliza¬tion of the war in Central America.We therefore demand that President Reagan not certify that the human rightssituation is improving in El Salvador. We also demand that Congress immediatelysuspend all military aid and support to El Salvador, Guatemala and the forces at¬tempting to overthrow the government of Nicaragua.Yolanda Tarango Jeff Voss Kenneth A.

According to an article inthe Chicago Tribune, money deposited in an“individual education account'4 would notbe exempt from taxes as are funds in Indi¬vidual Retirement Accounts (IRA).Only the interest and dividends earnedfrom these education accounts would be taxes free, administration sources told theTribune.Reagan proposed the IRA program toCongress in his State of the Union addressTuesday night. Details on the program willbe presented Monday when the administra¬tion submits its 1984 budget proposal.Some universities have expressed con¬cern that these education accounts might beused by the Reagan administration to jus¬tify cuts in existing federal education loanand grant programs.Reagan said in his address Tuesday thatthe individual education accounts “will givemiddle- and lower-income families an incen¬tive to save for their children’s college edu¬cation and, at the same time, encourage areal increase in savings for economicgrowth.’’The education accounts will differ fromthe IRA accounts, however, in that themoney deposited into the fund would still betaxable. Under IRAs, which were set up in1981, an individual can deposit up to $2000 inthe fund annually and deduct that amountfrom his or her taxable income.Peace Now hereChicago Friends of Peace Now-ShalomAchshav, an international organization pro¬moting peace in the Middle East, will makea presentation on campus tonight at 8:30p.m. Speaking will be Michael Gaster.The presentation, free of charge, will be atthe Hillel House, 5715 S.

KuviasungnerkAccording to Jean Treese, advisor in theCollege, the week was “largely a success.”Treese said that the weekend events werevery well attended and most people seemedto enjoy them. While the weekday events, in¬cluding Japanese exercise at 6:45 a.m. andreadings by faculty members around a fire¬place, were not as well attended, “they didadvance publicity for what will hopefully bethe second annual Kuviasungnerk,” saidTreese.The Mystery Prize contest open to firstyear college students and transfers was atrip to Walt Disney World.

University • 962-8561The Chicago Maroon—Friday, January 28, 1983 -3Editor * '9Policing needy studentswho resist registrationLast summer, President Reagan signed into law a bill requiring universitiesto withhold federal student loans from students who have not registered for thedraft. Before a male student could receive federal aid, he would have to signcertification that he has registered and provide a copy of the official registrationacknowledgement letter to the school through which he requests federal aid.The law, which suggests the naivete of a Jimmy Stewart character in Mr.Smith Goes to Washington, is based on a simple and reasonable principle: if youwon’t pay your dues, we won’t let you share in the goodies.Unfortunately, the law is rather arbitrary. First, it transforms financial aidofficers into deputy G-men assigned to police their students. Second, it punishesAmerican citizens before they have been found guilty in court of violating a law.And third, it focuses on such an arbitrary benefit of the federal government as tomake the whole thing ridiculous. The FBI might as well prohibit registrationresisters from using federal interstates or from visiting the Smithsonian Institu¬tion.This law smells like the product of the same diseased mind that gave us aca¬demic ranking during the Vietnam war. Under that proposal, students rankedby universities at the bottom of their classes would be drafted before those withbetter grades. The rationale behind this plan was that if students were confront¬ed with the choice of getting shot up in a swamp in Asia and studying for theirmath final they would choose the latter.Under that proposal, students who were not academically successful werepunished. Under the current law, students who happen to be born into lower ormiddle class families are punished. “Better we should punish some students forbreaking the law than none at all,” runs the argument that helped this law passthrough the House 309-95. We feel that a law whose enforcement requires eco¬nomic discrimination is worse than no law at all.Last November, President Gray issued a statement expressing the Universi¬ty’s protest against the law. We encourage her but we wonder what she and herfellowr university presidents were doing while this law breezed through Con¬gress.Belated but strong action may be able to compensate, however. If Gray andher peers refuse to be FBI puppets, if they tell the federal government to get outof the halls of private universities, then perhaps they can force this nation’sdraft proponents to discriminate against the poor, to contradict legal ethics andmake a sham of common sense, not in our institutions, but in their own.LettersNicholas respondson grad student feeTo the editor:A great deal of distress has been generat¬ed during the past few days by the idea thata continuous registration fee might soon beimposed upon graduate students who arenot presently registered although they arepursuing their degrees. I write in hopes ofdispelling that distress.I have spoken with groups of graduate stu¬dents on several occasions about the stepsthat might be taken to implement the reportof the Baker Commission on Graduate Edu¬cation. There seems to be a reasonable con¬sensus that the Report identifies some of themost prominent difficulties in the path ofgraduate study in the present period. Therehas been some reasonable difference ofopinion about solutions to those difficulties.One such difficulty arises from the pres¬ent structure of tuition. Graduate studentsin the Social Sciences and Humanities nowpay tuition, for practical purposes, duringthe first three years of residency. Thereforethey are left, quite commonly, in the limboof “nonregistered students,” a status thatno one finds suitable. I have discussed a res¬tructuring of tuition in which payment isspread over the entire period from entry into graduate study until the completion ofthe PhD. This is a plan for discussion andnot a scheme for early implementation. As apart of the plan I proposed, a student whofinishes the dissertation early would end uppaying lower tuition, which I believe is aprize that most would try to obtain.The hypothetical fee for continuous regis-teration that I suggested does not make anysense outside a completely restructuredgraduate tuition plan. I tried to discuss sucha fee only in the context of a revised tuitionplan, which I think addresses the realities ofgraduate study during the 1980s. It is natu¬ral that anxiety about unanticipated finan¬cial obligations and mounting debt shouldhave led to the isolation of this issue outsidethat context.To the best of my knowledge, the Univer¬sity has never retroactively imposed a feeor other new degree requirements upon stu¬dents. Any new charges—and there is noreason to think my idea will be accepted—would affect only students of future years.We are trying to plan for the future on theexperience of the present, and I am gratefulto all of the current graduate students whohave written to me about their experience. Iam only sorry that they were impelled to doso by misplaced anxiety.Ralph W.

But beneath his humor lies the erro¬neous belief that university accreditedstudy abroad programs are a valuablelearning experience because they are “fun”and “open you up to new emotions.” Brookswas responding to a statement made byJames Redfield, master of the HumanitiesCollegiate Division, who identified intellec¬tual thinning or decreased intellectual en¬ergy as a major problem for students study¬ing abroad. After spending a year in Franceon a study abroad program, I believe thatstudents do lose intellectual energy as a re¬sult of the new cultural and linguistic envi¬ronments in which they are immersed.As a careless reader, Brooks confusesRedfields comments on study abroad withhis own views on travel abroad. This is animportant distinction. Study abroad is anacademic experience which takes place inanother country. It requires adjustment to aforeign culture and often includes in-depthstudy of a foreign language. While it shouldbe fun, this is not its primary goal. Travelabroad is altogether different. People whotravel abroad are tourists. They visit, tourand sightsee, usually for a very short periodof time. Travel is intended to be a fun filledromp in a foreign country, in which one pas¬sively “experiences” another culture. Pro¬grams which visit ten European countries inthree days are of this type. Yet, Brooks seesno distinction between study abroad andtravel abroad. After all, both are doneabroad, n’est-ce pas? But ten days spent at aClub Med in the Carribean is not equivalentto two years spent at Cambridge. Brooks isright when he says that “travel is fun” and“opens you up to new emotions,” but Red-field isn’t talking about travel at all, he istalking about study. One wonders if Brooksthinks that a university accredited studyabroad program should be a long-term intel¬lectual experience or a two week vacationspree. Should universities award academiccredit for “new emotions”? Travel abroadis fun, interesting, and casually educational,but study abroad is a more serious intellec¬tual activity.Redfield is correct when he says that“when students go abroad, culture shocktends to absorb intellectual energy. There’sa thinning, intellectually.” The mentalstress of living in a culture which has an un¬familiar language and cultural heritageoften does sap intellectual energy. The emo¬tional stress, petty distractions, and incon-viences associated with daily life is enor¬mous. The student who has anerve-wracking experience in a post officemailing a letter home to Mommy andDaddy, will have little inclincation to imme¬diately attempt to read Voltaire or Kant inthe original language. Study abroad can bea rich and satisfying experience, but thepath to language proficiency and accultura¬tion in a foreign country is often frustratingand debilitating.I believe that this university should spon¬sor or take part in study abroad programswhich are strongly intellectual. The vastmajority of study abroad programs limittheir stress on academics to their bro¬chures. What is needed is a study abroad program with strong academic goals whichwould have an adequate staff to prepare andcushion students from the culture shockwhich naturally occurs. Redfield is rightwhen he points out the deficiency of studyabroad programs, generally. I encouragethe University to pursue this issue, in thehope that a truely satisfactory form of studyabroad can be constructed.Alan DrimmerThird year student in the CollegeHats off to MABTo the editor:On behalf of those who enjoyed the ener¬getic concert performed by Bow Wow Wowon Jan. 21, I would like to thank the MajorActivities Board for bringing this show toour campus.Unlike those hard-to-piease Grey CityJournalites who complained that (a) theconcert came “two years too late” (Jan. 7)and (b) “I would rather have someone else”(Jan. 21), I think we should appreciate thiseffort made to enliven the U of C atmo¬sphere. It is not every day that an interna¬tionally known rock band performs for freeat your student union.Let’s give the Major Activities Board (andBow Wow Wow) some credit for puttingsome excitement into a gray Chicagowinter.

What kind of sanctionswould the University impose in such asituation?• Would this fee entitle us to full libraryprivileges, insured health care, and stu¬dent status for loan payment defer¬ment?We currently work 20 and 15 hours perweek, respectively, at jobs unrelated to ouracademic fields. We try to work the leastnumber of hours possible to support our¬selves in order to maximize the time avail¬able for academic work. We are dismayedat the prospect of having to work 30 hours aweek in order to meet payments which aresupposed to hasten the completion of ourdissertations.Beverly SwenyCommittee on Human DevelopmentLuAnn HomzaDepartment of History"Tootsie” column blasted LettersTo the editor:I was appalled by George Kocan’s com¬mentary on “Tootsie,” so much so that Ihave been roused from my customary stu¬por and inspired to write this letter. Kocan’sarticle is permeated with unspoken asump-tions and partial views that betray not hisbias, but his prejudice.His basic theme asserts that in today’sworld the masculine male is at a decideddisadvantage and that he is asked to sacri¬fice, castigate or feminize himself in orderto succeed. It is remarkable how Kocan di-cotmizes attributes of “masculinity” and“femininity” into what he presents in a fa¬vorable light (agressiveness, self-confi¬dence, competitiveness, argumentative¬ness, dominance, “Manliness”, etc.) andwhat he views with dismay as “penetratinginto the deepest recesses of man’s soul,”(non-competitiveness, nurturance, beingdisarming and compelling).Not only do I find Kocan tremendouslymisogynist by viewing every aspect of femi¬ninity that occurs in a male as a lamentableviolation of being “all male,” but I believehe has been blind to the significance of themessage implicit in “Tootsie.”Kocan has insulted and caricaturedwomen, academics, business people, andgay men. He discreetly forgot to mentin les¬bian and feminist women, considered bymany to have taken on aspects of “mascu¬linity” and who may round out the positivecultural images portrayed in “Tootsie.” Heseems to begrudge women their statisticalsuccess in school (finally labelling educa¬tional institutions negatively as “ideallymade for girls”) and his picture of women(“tame,” “smooth”, “childlike”) is an af¬front to any woman, and boldly ignores theanger, power and experience of discrimina¬tion that women in our culture have ex¬pressed in the Women’s Movement.How can Kocan not see the obvious? That“masculinity” and “femininity” are repres¬sive myths that chain us rigidly into imposs¬ible and unfulfilling roles. That both womenand men today are discovering access to thefull range of behaviors available to human beings, and choosing what is most appro¬priate in light of personal value structures.Androgyny, and the freedom and difficultyit entails, is what “Tootsie” is all about. In¬deed Michael happened to learn the value ofbeing able to work well together in the guiseof a woman, and freed himself from his“masculine” alienation. He did this “underhis own terms’, though in desparation, andultimately acknowledged himself the betterfor it.Not to say that men are not at a disadvan¬tage in today’s culture, but to ignore the op¬pressed experience of others is self-centeredand hostile. “Tootsie” and other recent filmimages that explore a range of possibilitiesin androgyny, from homosexuality towomen’s union efforts, are signs of hope forthose of us who wish to be powerful in ourown lives, and to have the ability of love andcare with great depth.Clarissa C. BurtGraduate student in NELCTo the editor:I was not surprised that George Kocanstudies Human Development. He obviouslyknows nothing about films and has none ofthe talent for subtlety involved in readingone. Not that “Tootsie” is subtle; far fromit. Kocan, however, has taken an alreadytrite and reductionist film and made it seemeven more trite and reductionist.Kocan interprets Hoffman’s success assaying that ‘ the ideal employee is a woman(or a feminized male).” Apparently, he wasso busy watching Hoffman that he didn’t seeany of the film’s women. Terri Garr is hard¬ly the ideal employee; she can’t even get ajob. Jessica Lange is adequate at her job,being marginally talented; but she is in noway responsible for the show’s amazing suc¬cess, nor can she make decisions indepen¬dently as good employees should. The onlyfemale who makes decisions, the show’sproducer, does so ineptly; fooled by Hoff¬ man’s disguise and charmed by his assert¬iveness, she hires Hoffman and is ultimatelyresponsible for the show’s final embarrass¬ment. It looks to me like “Tootsie’s” womenmake lousy employees.On the other hand, “Tootsie’s” men seemgreat. Kocan ignores his own observationthat Hoffman “beats out women at theirown game.” Dorothy is a hit. The show’sratings soar because Hoffman appears ashis female audience would like to. The film’smoral is not that women make the best em¬ployees; they don’t even make the bestwomen. In the world of “Tootsie,” menmake the best women.Now there’s a theme to ease Kocan’s sex¬ual paranoia! He can quit writing aboutemasculated male graduate students (auto¬biographical?) and speculating on “the ul¬timate cost” (dressing in drag - death?). In¬stead, he can aggressively teach himself toavoid writing such uninformed, ill-consi¬dered gibberish.Gary BebermanClass of 1980To the editor:George Kocan’s recent review of “Toot¬sie” (Maroon, 1/25/83) would have us be¬lieve that one need be a school dropout to befound guilty of “becoming peripheral, irrel¬evant, and if not irrelevant, often a crimi¬nal.” Apparently Kocan finds time to ac¬complish all this from behind a desk in theDepartment of Human Development. He isnot satisfied with reviewing “Tootsie” asentertainment; rather, he feels compelledto perpetuate dangerous myths about gaymen and women by discussing gender iden¬tify and associated behavior in a confusedand uninformed manner.Kocan’s inference that “higher educationcontinues the pressure against manli¬ness...This certainly should explain, at leastin part, the higher proportion of homosex¬uals in colleges than in the population atlarge,” is patently untrue. Available evi¬ dence suggests that it is the tremendous dif¬ficulty associated with revealing one’s ho¬mosexuality in non-academic circles that isresponsible for the apparent difference inthe number of gays on and off campus. Moredisturbingly, Kocan’s unmistakable if im¬plicit suggestion that gay men are effemi¬nate is still further from the truth. Gay mencan be found among the best looking, assert¬ive, self-confident and competitive men onthis campus. They are football players,wrestlers, physicians and surgeons, profes¬sors and law students. There is simply notruth to the suggestion that they are behav-iorally any less “all-male” than other men.Kocan himself finds this bit of information“confusing”. No doubt he would have beenhopelessly lost were I to have pointed outthat my voice was deeper than his own inour recent conversation.Gay and feminist social movements do notdeny sex differences as Kocan suggests;rather, they strive to point out the real con¬tinuum that exists between those behaviorswhich have been traditionally considered ei¬ther masculine or feminine. Kocan’s reviewunfortunately missed the mark. Anxiety ofhis sort will be reduced only insofar as weare able to consider sex-type behavior amatter of personal inclination instead of so¬cial mandate.Thomas LampinenStudent in the CollegeTo the editor:In the film “Tootsie” Dustin Hoffmanmade a better feminist than all the womenin the film put together. I cannot find themessage that George Kocan finds. It seemsto me the message is that men are so superi¬or to women that a man can even be a betterwoman if he puts his mind to it.“Jimmy Dean,” a recent film about sixwomen, conveys a similar message. Theonly together woman of the bunch turns outto be a transsexual: she began life as aman.So relax, girls, and leave the role model¬ing to us. Us men are going to show you whatbeing a woman is all about.Michael Glass23rd Annual University of ChicagoMandel Hall57th & University Ave.SCHEDULE OF CONCERTS:Friday, January 28, at 8:15 p.m.The A Capella Singing ConventionLiz.

Opposed to the deadening redun¬dancy of popular music, these artists rejectcommon practice and establish their ownprimal musical languages. As such, I callthem “primitives”.These performers, by example, draw at¬tention to the fact that Western music isbasically conservative. Virtually every¬one expects music to have harmony andresolution, the two qualities that makeRossini and ABC sound both like each otherand unlike a jackhammer. It should be ob¬vious that attempts at listening to primi¬tives while applying conventional melodicstandards will yield harsh results. This iswhy the most radical primitives—Jad andDavid Fair, Mo Tucker, the infamousShaggs—are often accused of having notalent. Less extreme performers—The Vel¬vet Underground, The Fall, Art Bears, RedCrayola. Flipper, The Raincoats, and earlyconfigurations of Pere Ubu and Gang ofFour—might achieve modest rock follow¬ings, but they remain unpalatable to thelarger world of music listeners.One group of primitives that have re¬cently begun to draw attention is the popminimalists. These are performers whohave all but banished harmony from theirmusic by stripping down to a stark, ran¬dom ensemble of instruments. Characteris¬tically, these groups use some kind ofrhythmic repetition, with a bare melodicline riding on top.Sometimes this approach can be prettywhimsical, as with the two bands on Ari¬zona Disease. Les Seldoms is four playerswith a nice sound. The guitar and cymbalsbristle crisply against one another. The vo¬calist, whose style seems to consist largelyof Jonathan Richman-like yelps, singsabout being a crass American tourist. Thebass is used to good effect, plugging upthe holes left by the other players. Jr.Chemists doesn't have a bassist, but theycould have used one. The responsibility forcarrying the melody is thrown on vocalistDawn, who sings (earnestly, it would ap¬pear) about “spooky cooties” and “busyworms”. Rather than being the kind ofmusic that evokes childhood, this stuff ab¬solutely wallows in it.A much better example of this kind ofmusic is the trio Oh O.K., from Georgia,who at least make some concessions toadulthood. Mostly, this is brisk dancemusic; the four songs are varied and uni-formally entertaining. You could getthrough the whole record without realiz¬ing that there are no guitars on it. In theirplace, Oh O.K. has done alot of double¬tracking of vocals and percussion; under itall is a nice, buzzy bass. This is really ap¬pealing.Green On Red(Down There)This is a seven-track EP from a new bandout of California. Like their stable mates,The Dream Syndicate, Green On Red haslifted most of its inspiration from middle-period Velvet Underground—a clangy,organ-drenched sound, more cheery (butless accomplished) than the Velvets them¬selves. The most novel component is vocal¬ist Dan Stuart, who plays a nifty Lou Reedon most of these songs; he also turns in agood Jeffrey Lee Pierce (Gun Club) impres¬sion on “Illustrated Crawling”. The instru¬mentation is uncluttered and consistent.This is a band whose sound has crystal¬lized early, perhaps to the detriment of fu¬ture releases; this hardly matters now,though. I especially appreciate the revivalof the wah-wah pedal on “Black Nights”and the keyboard melodies on “Death andAngels” and “Aspirin”. The lyrics are asi¬nine, but this is so common in rock that I’m Arkansaw Man(Modern Masters)Arkansaw (sic) Man is three guys fromSan Francisco. It sounds as if they’ve spentalot of time listening to King Crimson;they’ve adopted their rhythmic guitarstyle and some of their percussive ideas.What they’ve left behind is Fripp’soverwrought studio sound — the fourtracks here are coarse and improvisation-by Leah MayesOver the past three years, Dublin's infa¬mous transvestite primitives the VirginPrunes have released a number of singlesand EPs, alternately brilliant and embar¬rassingly inept, ugly and breath-takinglydelicate, funny and frightening, self-indul¬gent and intelligent. In November, theband released their first album, If I Die, IDie, on the independent Rough Tradelabel. Happily, the album is as inconsistentas everything else the Prunes have record¬ed. It boasts some discipline, a bit of polish(courtesy of ex-Wire electro-pop producerColin Newman), and even a few catchytunes, but it never gives the impressionthat the Prunes have lost touch with theirnoisy, chaotic roots or forgotten their hon¬esty and self-effacing humor.Ostensibly one side is more danceableand hits harder than the other, but bothsides are disrupted by contrasts. Thebrown side (colors will have to differen¬tiate because there are no label numbers)opens with the hauntingly gentle, almostfolky “Ulakanakulot/Decline And Fall,”slips into a brittle re-working of “SweetHome Under White Clouds,” and then fadesout with a slow, goose-stepping “Bau-dachong.” The blue side starts with thebouncy club hit “Baby Turns Blue," driftsinto a delightfully whimsical “Ballad OfThe Man,” and then kicks out in true Prunefashion with the loud, nasty “Walls OfJericho.” I’m hard pressed to say whichside I prefer, as both are characteristic ofthe Prunes in all their glory and their wal¬lowing. al. The resulting style is temperamental:ragged, world-weary, insistent. My favor¬ite B-side track, “Health”, starts out witha repetitious bass and a pulsing guitarline; there are some scolding, half-mut¬tered lyrics about narcissism; and by theend, the whole song swells up and crasheson itself. The A-side, “The Ballroom Song”,expands the personnel to include a seven-piece horn section and some contrapuntalhandclaps. This record is cheap, but it’sshort (under twenty minutes) and not com¬pletely satisfying; I hope they're planningan album sometime soon. —Paul MollicaSecurityI tend to listen to the blue side moreoften because it is more densely texturedand the pace doesn't let up until the lastsong (“Theme For Thought,” which proba¬bly should’ve been on the flip). It proves,too, that the Prunes do know more thantwo bass riffs and can indeed play instru¬ments with a degree of competency(though, thank God, not with so much profi¬ciency that they qualify as a step belowsloppy garage-band status). The lyrics aremore complex and witty, while the brownside (particularly “Bau-dachong”) is occa¬sionally marred by pseudo-philosophicalcliches. The brown side also hints at taktngitself more seriously, bringing the Prunesthe closest they’ve ever been to “real”singing and harmonizing; the result is thatthe cheery point/counterpoint of the threedistinct voices gleefully battling eachother is lost.“Baby Turns Blue” is the most commer¬cially accessible number, and is probablythe funniest (the smart-assed brat chorusof “give me money, give me sex, give mefood and cigarettes”). However, the songthat, to me, best exemplifies their in¬creased level of maturity and awarenessis “Caucasian Walk,” which sports anotherclassic chorus and several humorously cut¬ting observations on the shallowness of so¬cial contact (“I don't smoke, I just do it forthe company”). It manages to avoid seem¬ing self-righteous because the three voices(Gavin’s gruff, Guggi's shrill, and Dave-Id's twisted, spastic) interrupt and singagainst each other poking fun. Even thepotentially pompous “Theme For Thought” Peter Gabriel(Geffen Records)Peter Gabriel has finally descendedfrom his self-imposed, artistic heights. OnSecurity, his most recent album, Gabrielhappily sheds his art-rock persona andemerges a real life rock and roller—mur¬mured words in French are out, thunderousdrums are in. Just listen to “Shock theMonkey” (temporarily ignore the lyrics)—incessant, digitally recorded drums; a dan¬ceable, repetitive bass line; a silly, buteasy to chant refrain; a steady crescendothat lasts the length of the song—whatmore could the idle listener ask for in acontinued on page 4is undercut by a monotonous bass line, silly“di de di de di” backing vocals, and a deli¬berately artsy poem simplified into themost childish of rhyme schemes.The word “childish” is appropriate tothe Prunes in many other ways: willful,spoiled, and naive, they're in it for the funand not the “art” (“It was an accident! Ididn't mean it!” from “Baby Turns Blue ").Simultaneous with the release of the 12-inch of “Baby,” the Prunes put out a box-set of ten-inches (“Heresie” — availableonly as a French import) which featuresbrutally massacred live versions of theirbest vinyl, as well as absurd new studiomaterial (such as the classic “MemoryLane.” sung in nasal voices over a whiningaccordion).The Prunes don't take themselvesseriously, don’t consider themselves pro¬ponents of “performance art" and don’tlike it when attention is called to their ap¬pearance or reputation. They are wary ofthe transience and superficiality associat¬ed with trendiness so they don’t care ifthey have a hit or not. They’d probablyprefer not to, but if they keep putting outrecords as deserving of attention as thisone, it's going to be difficult for them tokeep a low profile. Besides, they don’tsmoke, don’t drink, don’t do drugs, don’thate God or their parents, and look cute inwarpaint, so I’m more than happy to in¬dulge them and encourage their self-indul¬gence over the dishonest posturing andself-importance of most modern musicians.I just hope they remain as consistently in¬consistent as they have been.Peter Gabriel Gavin and GuggiI HERETIC PRUNES DO NOT HATE GOD 4[ I 1 I I 1 I I I I I I ITTTNTonight at 7:00,9:00, and 11:00 + Harrison Ford, deprived of theForce and the Lost Ark, hunts Rutger Hauer in Ridley Scott’ssci-fi film noir, Blade Runner (rated R).Saturday at 7:15, 9:00 & 10:45 + Stop worrying and learn to love theBomb at The Atomic Cafe.Sunday: A double bill of two of the gran maestri of the Italiancinema.

Clara is quickly swept into anunhappy marriage with an “art”film director. The rest of The LadyWithout Camelias follows Clara's re¬sulting romantic complications, butthe film also provides Antonioniwith the opportunity to subtly ex¬plore a cinematic world built uponmoney and illusion. Just as Clara’stalent is pure fabrication, love be¬comes nothing more than the illusionof a skillful director.

Itshows the artist as his own modelstanding in two places in a room witha couch and chair. Both figures ap¬pear to look directly at the viewer.The posture and expression on theleft promise a removed, almost re¬mote encounter. On the right, a moreopen posture: one hand, on the backof the chair, seems to offer us a placeto rest. The facial expression, whileby no means inviting, does not froma relatively distant perspective ruleout the possibility of trust, accep¬tance. This changes at a relativelycloser distance when the lips, ever-so-slightly parted, become clearlyvisible. One establishes also at thiscloser distance the importance of theheight at which this photo is in¬stalled: we gotta look up. The back¬ground is light, foreclosing the possi¬bility of one seeing his or herreflection in the photo and furtherdistinguishing this from “Back¬pack", in which the viewer is invitedthrough more or less equal eye leveland a dark, reflective background,to identify with the depicted boy.Both may eventually be seen to bemaking not the same but relatedpoints.

His expression shows heis concerned; hers is less clear: al¬though her head is thrown back andher neck is exposed, her facial fea¬tures are not articulated. Maybethis is nice. “Fallen Virtue” by San¬dra Perlow shows three boys in anoddly-constructed, airy and openspace; a bird falls with the pedestalatop which it must until recentlyhave rested. We read from the title,through the bird/pedestal, to theboys.

In the 1982 piece, “Mr.Bill Abortion,” a scalpel prods a poolof pink-orange synthetic blood inwhich a tiny plastic doll floats; in “SoYour Sperms Work. . .Jerk," a doll’shand, holding a curving plasticsnake, is juxtaposed against an en¬larged photograph of a human fetus.These works can be viewed as shock¬ing or ironically true, depending onthe viewer's position on the abortionissue But in any case, the worksarouse intense emotion that provokere-examination of ourselves and oursociety.The pieces on exhibit were notcreated to be aesthetically pleasing.Artists without hope or optimism forthe continuum of life and art cannot,will not, instill their works with truebeauty.Thomas Herzbergs 1982 piece,"Concerned.” is a lithograph of a le¬gless. armless, headless torso rot¬ting in the corner of a room. Thetorso is diapered, but its skin is mot¬tled, as if ancient; flies collect arounda hole in its stomach.At first glance. Ed Paschke s 1982work, “Buenvenuto.” seems out ofplace at the exhibit. It is a very at¬tractive work; it is a painting of aman and woman kissing against aneon bright background of a sunset.But its beauty is deceptive. Uponcloser examination, we realize thatthe colors are too harsh and artifi¬cial, the figures and the backgroundare flat, depthless. Through thiswork, Paschke intimates that evenlove has not escaped the ravages ofthe modern age, and that love todayis shallow, merely an imitation of the‘love’ promoted by television and the movies. Paschke, like the otherartists, sees the human relationshipin modern society as being a futile,hopeless venture.ARC Gallery, 6 W. Hubbard.

Free.THEATEREndgame Court Theatre has done jus¬tice to Samuel Beckett’s post-apoca¬lyptic drama, taking advantage ofboth the humor and the dark pessi¬mism of the text. Director MichaelMaggio creates a good deal oflaughter without diminishing the es¬sential angst of Beckett's vision. Anexcellent opportunity to see FrankGalati as the comically pathetic Clov,this production is also enhanced byNicholas Rudali as Hamm, in his bestperformance at Court in some time.The supporting cast is less convinc¬ing, however, and some of the edit¬ing of the text distracts from an oth¬erwise admirable show. Finally,Linda Buchanan has come up with an¬other superlative set, suggestingboth the sterility of a hospital andthe decay of a fallout shelter.

As he has done each yearsince 1961, Armstrong, dressed in Scottishkilt, will march up the center aisle to thestage, turn toward the audience, playbriefly at center stage, then disappearinto the wings, having opened the 23rdAnnual University of Chicago Folk Festi¬val.The repetition of this ritual at the begin¬ning of each concert is a symbol of the es¬sential ingredients of the Folk Festival:traditional music and folk arts, and the dy¬namic interplay of these cultural formswith the lives and times of the people whocreate them and those who enjoy them.While Armstrong’s ritual has remained es¬sentially unchanged throughout the 23year history of the Folk Festival, thevarieties of the music it has introducedhave been numerous, and the emotionsconjured up by that music have been limit¬less. At the Folk Festival one witnessescontinual change and innovation within aframework of apparent stability, and theendurance of recognizable traditions in anever-changing environment.This year’s festival, as a whole, presentsan eclectic blend of performers of a widevariety of musical styles. There will bethose who dazzle us with technical mas¬tery or startle us with the sheer energy oftheir performance. Others will evoke thepain of living in any age. Some will createvivid images of past eras and others willprovide us with glimpses into the future oftraditional music.Since the concept of “folklore" immedi¬ately brings to mind images of old beliefsand customs, it is not surprising that a fes¬tival sponsored by the “Folklore Society"should be heavily weighted with perform¬ers of old, sometimes almost forgottenstyles of music and oratory. In fact abouthalf of the acts that will perform fall intothat category. For example: the A Cappel-la Singing Convention will present Sharp-note hymns learned and sung in a stylethat dates back to colonial America; andthe Indian Creek Delta boys, the official Il¬linois state string-band, will performsongs that have been handed downthrough generations of Illinois families.Among those displaying oratorical skillswill be Fred "Doc” Bloodgood who workedfor over 10 years as a pitchman for cir¬ cuses and medicine shows during the de¬pression era.The oldest living musical tradition at thefestival will be presented by Alex Udvaryand his Ensemble, who will perform musicof the Hungarian Gypsies on the cimbolam,a type of hammered-dulcimer that datesback to ancient Egypt and China.Another tradition that will be represent¬ed in several varieties is the blues. JohnTinsley is a practitioner of what manythink to be a dying art. As a country blues-man his music is the purest example ofblues as it emerged around the turn of the century as an outgrowth of field hollers,spirituals, and dance tunes played byblack southerners since before the CivilWar. His lyrics, sung in an expressive high-pitched voice, chronicle the troubles of ablack man living in the country. JimBrewer, who was born in the country buthas spent a major part of his life in Chica¬go, shows how this style can be trans¬formed to reflect a starker urban experi¬ence. In contrast to the dying or almostforgotten styles of music by some of theperformers mentioned earlier, which areenjoyable as “living relics” in a world thathas outgrown them, these two acts demon¬strate the resilence and adaptability ofthe blues in changing technological and so¬cial environments. One of the highlights of this year’s fes¬tival will be the return of Cajun music,which has not been heard in Mandel Hallsince 1979. In that year Marc Savoy, D. L.Menard, and Dewey Balfa, appearing asthe Louisiana Aces performed in the acous¬tic tradition of the French-speaking back-woods people of the Louisiana Delta. Thisyear when Pat Savant and the LouisianaPlayboys take the stage, festival-goerswill have the opportunity to see what hasbecome of the Cajun tradition as elementsof popular culture have invaded the Loui¬siana Delta. The typical Cajun instrumentsof fiddle and button accordion will be agu-mented by the backing of drums, electricbass, and pedal steel guitar in a demon¬stration of how the Cajun tradition has ab¬sorbed elements of rock and country.The festival will also feature a blue-grass band. With Hot Rize one will againbe able to observe the evolution of a livingtradition. With only four members ratherthan the usual five Hot Rize is, from thestart, an atypical bluegrass band. Never¬theless, their sound remains true to theclassic bluegrass style and the talents ofits individual members make up for whatthey lack in numbers. Curiously, it is HotRize’s expertise with the technology ofperformance that has allowed them tomaintain a traditional crisp, clean sound,under the most varied of modern perfor¬mance conditions. It has also allowed themto innovate and add new dimensions tobluegrass. Purists may shudder whenPeter “Dr. Banjo” Wernick plays his banjothrough a phase shifter, but the sound hecreates may be the tradition of the fu¬ture.The group Touchstone, predominantly in¬fluenced by Irish folk music, will be per¬haps the best example of transition withina tradition, as it absorbs elements of othertraditions and comes to grips with thetechnology of the age. The group combinesthe synthesized clarinet of Triona Ni Dohm-naill with acoustic instruments such asbanjo, mandolin, flute, guitar and bouzou-ki to create music that is dominantly Irishin flavor while displaying some of the live¬lier elements of American old-time moun¬tain music. Without the use of some of themost typical instruments of the Irish tradi¬tion like fiddle and pipes the group pro¬duces music that is truly a credit to the con¬tinuance of the tradition yet hauntinglyfuturistic in its outlook. Using the technolo¬gically modern synthesizer in successfulcombination with acoustic instruments,they demonstrate the capability of mas¬tering the technology of our time whilemaintaining a human feel in the music.which you had dozed off while reading.

On the album'sopening track, appropriately entitled“The Rhythm of the Heat,” Gabriel giveswarning of the percussive rhythm whichpropels the album as a whole. When therhythm works, as on “Shock the Monkey,"the result is more sweatily enjoyable thananything Gabriel has done before. If youlike big, loud drums and don’t mind occa¬sionally indecipherable lyrics, this is thealbum for you.But what about those lyrics? Is “Shockthe Monkey” about twentieth centuryalienation, auto-eroticism, Darwiniantheory, animal experimentation, or all ofthe above? Several songs, such as “LayYour Hands on Me,” “I Have the Touch,” orthe album-stealing “Kiss of Life” seem toextol the pleasures of physical contact, butthe lyrical intention behind “San Jacinto”is destined to remain the private propertyof Peter Gabriel’s imagination. Thenagain, as long as the drums pound, thelyrics hardly matter. From the Ghanaindrum section to the electronic percussion,the music makes contact where mysticlyrics miss. Only one song, “The Family andthe Fishing Net,” lapses into musical andlyrical incomprehensibility when Gabrielsomehow combines listless instrumentalswith marriage, communion, and. . . fish¬ing.Security is certainly Peter Gabriel’smost enjoyable album. Rather than suffo¬cating the rhythmic appeal of rock and rollin endless meanderings on the keyboardor simply lapsing into the vacuous musical bombast of his former companions in Gene¬sis, Peter Gabriel unleashes a combinationof palpitating rhythms and sounds to pro¬duce an upbeat and danceable rock androll.Party PartyVarious Artists(A and M Records)I bought this album for one good rea¬son—Elvis Costello and the Attractionsperform the title track. Elvis realy is King(although David Byrne is God), and while“Party Party” is hardly classic E.C., it istypically enjoyable. Elvis’ characteristical¬ly double-edged lyrics on the inexhaust¬ible topic of romantic confusion, the bigbeat of the Attractions, and some surpris¬ing horns make it a pleasant, if rathertame, effort.The rest of Party Party has its ups anddowns plus a few genuine surprises. In thenostalgia category, Dave Edmund’s ram¬ble through “Run Rudolph Run” is worth atleast two listens, while Bad Manners’ ren¬dition of the ancient “Yakety Yak” is adanceable revelation. The album also con¬tains some excellent, although familiar,material: “Band of Gold” by Modern Ro¬mance, a too short “Elizabethan Reggae”by Bad Manners, and a haunting “NoWoman, No Cry” performed by PaulineBlack. Sting is the only performer whoseriously embarrasses himself (somethinghe is in the habit of doing lately) with apointless version of “Tutti Frutti” and aexcruciatingly long weeper entitled“Need Your Love So Bad.”Party Party is the soundtrack album toan upcoming movie and, if the clips repro¬duced on the back cover are any indica¬tion, the movie should be avoided like a Doobie Brothers reunion concert. Hol¬lywood has discovered “New Wave” anddecided that it is suburban-looking “girls”with funky hairstyles and garish mini¬skirts. — Bruce KingChristCrass(Crass)Many of you may be wondering whathas happened to the band that used toshout “Crass, not the Clash.” Like theother bands who were lumped together byGary Bushel! (editor of Sounds) into thecategory of Oi-punk bands, they were in¬dicted by the English press for starting theriots at Southhall. But unlike the other Oibands, who simply claimed no responsibili¬ty for the riots, Crass said they were verysorry that the riots occurred, and that thegroup’s music would no longer be respons¬ible for such violent acts. Crass did not re¬alize that the lyrics they meant as jokeswould be taken seriously by the workingclass. (As a writer, I know how writtenwords which were meant to be jokes can bemisconstrued.) Crass decided that theymust take action to stop the misunder¬standing of their lyrics. They decided togrant a few interviews and include withtheir next album (Christ) a booklet ex¬plaining their ideas. This booklet is called“A Series of Shock Slogans and MindlessToken Tantrums” and can now also bebought separately.As for the music, it is the usual punk-fastsounds which I am no longer fond of. Theonly interesting idea is that Crass insertscommercials from British t.v. in betweensongs. As my friends (a.k.a. Mary, Melis¬sa, Pat, Leah and Ken) know, the commer¬cials can be the most interesting part of a radio or t.v. program.The ingredient that makes the recordworth purchasing is the booklet. The book¬let consists of three essays. The first andlongest tells about the death of the hippiesand what changes have occurred in theworld from the end of 1974 up to theSouthhall riots. They center on the changesin music and especially their experienceswith Oi and its founder, Gary Bushel). Thisessay does not show any judgment butrather portrays these years as the end ofan era.The other essays display their viewsmore openly. The last one tells of how theydespise violence, war and weapons (whodoesn’t?). They live in communes, work theland, own an independent non-profit re¬cord label (all the profits go to supportingnew bands) and stage free concerts. Theessays try desperately to justify theirideas and views. They turn out to be veryself-serving, and redundant. No matterhow admirable their ideas are, they fallapart under the pretentious weight of theband’s own verbiage, especially becausethe band take themselves very seriously,(something I would never do).The other problem is in comparing theideas expressed in the booklet to thelyrics. The lyrics make fun of skinheadsand other realities of the world. This incon¬sistency makes me wonder whether theyfeel the world is hopeless and the only an¬swer is to laugh, or that we must band to¬gether and try to improve the world. I findthe music boring but the lyrics and bookletinteresting (although possibly inconsis¬tent). Still, I think you would be wiser tospend your money on a record by the Vir¬gin Prunes instead. —Steve Diamond4—FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1983—THE GREY CITY JOURNALTTB’Skm*fixrbg xr6£&ixevxCorrceHouseCome too Hiilel for Mlmmnfl of X#mU folVin^oroMtb o wertoalntwetitotfebfett humus, miS *rabtc coffee.PwerRoml 1 >{fcT£u57/5U»feU«t.THE FLAMINGO APARTMENTS5500 South Shore DriveSTUDIOS & ONE BEDROOMS•Unfurnished and furnished•U. of C.

The poster in ExLibris billed the show as “Daisaku Ikeda'sPhoto Exhibit and Open House” and since Ihad wanted to see a photography show, Idecided to take the El downtown and findout who Daisaku Ikeda was and what typeof work he was producing.! entered the first floor of the studentunion building, and was greeted by a rowof smiling black women. On the table infront of them were piled brochures prose¬lytizing the Nichirin Shoshu movement,which, they told me, was an organizationdedicated to promoting world peace.After I had revealed that I was associat¬ed with “the press,” they sold me a twodollar ticket. As I rode the escalator to thethird floor, I glanced at the packet ofmulti-colored leaflets they had given me.Nichiren Shoshu Academy, a non-profitreligious organization of lay members ofNichiren Shoshu Buddhism in the USA, wasfounded in 1960. It originated in thir¬teenth century Japan, where a priestnamed Nichiren Daishonin preached hisdoctrine. He believed that by repeating asimple phrase over and over, each individ¬ual would gain a raised state of conscious¬ness, thus contributing to world peace.“The ultimate goal of NSA is to helpcreate a lasting peace in our society basedon each individual’s self-fulfillment andhappiness,” I read.The exhibit itself consisted of two parts.The first included portraits of DaisakuIkeda with great world leaders such asTed Kennedy, while the second containedpastoral landscapes which he had taken.Not the modernist Japanese photographyI had expected, and, not to any notion ofmine, art. Also included in the exhibitwere a film glorifying a recent rally thatNSA had held, and many copies of thenewspaper and journal 'which they pro¬duced.As I wandered from picture to picture, awell-dressed man approached me andasked why I had come to the exhibit. Assoon as he discovered my purpose was toreview Daisaku Ikeda’s work, he took meinto a corner, and began to relate his ex¬perience with Nichiren Buddhism.“I was a methodist before I was a Budd¬hist, but I’ve been a Buddhist for twelveyears. And there are a lot of reasons why Ithink if I wasn’t a Buddhist, I wouldn't behere today,” he said, after asserting thathe would’ve been shot if he didn't recitethe words of faith. “When the coincidencespile up to the ceiling, you can’t call themcoincidences any more.”He handed me a small business card withthe words of faith written on one side. Onthe reverse side was an explanation ofwhat each word meant. “Can you read thiscard, Rachel?” he asked. I hesitated; Ididn’t want to read the words on the card;I felt my privacy being invaded. I had totell them my name (although my firstthought was to give them my roommate’sname) but why should I read their words offaith?“What are you afraid of,” he asked,promising that I wouldn't be harassed if Ifilled out a registration card. I didn’t wantto give these aggressive and ferventBuddhists my name; stories of ReverendMoon whirled through my head, althoughhe insisted all I would receive in the mailwas notification of the Hyde ParkChapter’s social events.I looked at the small brown card. “Nam-myo-ho-renge-kyo.” Of course I could readthe phoneticized words, but did I want to?Every instinct inside of me was against it. Ishook my head.“I'm disappointed Rachel. You know you’re here for a purpose. You may thinkyou came to write that article, but there’sanother reason why you came heretoday.” My companion seemed to truly be¬lieve that I had been drawn to the exhibitdue to some explicable force which meantfor me to join the Buddhists. Repeatedly,he urged me to join. “If you’re not going tosay the words, just take the card home.Pray for a couple of days. Then chant for acouple of days,” he advised. All themembers had the same devotion, makingsweeping generalizations about the faithof their belief.They took me inside a small prayerroom. As the door clicked shut, the congre¬ gation began to chant the sacred wordsfaster and faster, working themselvesinto a frenzy. At the same time, theyrubbed strings of worry beads betweentheir fingers. We sat in the front row, nextto the altar, upon which rested two whitecandles, two brass lotus leaves, and sticksof incense, which were periodically relit bymembers. At certain intervals, the highpriest picked up a small wand and hit itagainst a gong at his side.The woman to my right nudged me,pointing at her phoneticized prayer book.Another handed me a copy of the words offaith to encourage me to chant.I had seen enough. Without warning. I got up and left. Every one of them was ob¬viously devoted to their cause, but to me,the whole show reeked of cultism.“Daisaku Ikeda: Photo Exhibit and OpenHouse” was how the show had been billedin Ex Libris. That was what bothered methe most; the misrepresentation of whatcould only be called a commemorization toa Buddhist leader. Perhaps it was just aWestern fear of an unknown religion, but Icouldn't help being suspicious. Why, Iasked myself, were the Nichiren ShoshuBuddhists trying so aggressively to con¬vert me? As I walked onto the streets ofGreektown, the air was cool. I felt only re¬lief to be out.CCP TRIBUTE:STEFAN WOLPEby Roger LustigFriday Night’s Mandel Hall concert bythe Contemporary Chamber Players un¬derscored the great variety of purposesfulfilled by the group. Not only does Pro¬fessor Ralph Shapey’s ensemble regularlypresent the University community with re¬cent works in a variety of styles, but itsprofessionalism allows us to hear difficultpieces performed well. Such live perfor¬mances are doubly necessary because newmusic recordings (among them some byCCP) are few and far between.Katharina Wolpe. who performed lastFriday, and other guest artists broadenthe scope of CCP’s activity. Furthermore,imaginative programming on Shapey’spart (including repetition of a piece withina concert and unusual juxtapositions ofpieces) gives us new ideas about how topresent and listen to pieces drawn fromthe wide repertory of contemporarymusic.Friday's concert took the form of a de¬layed 80th birthday tribute to the compos¬er Stefan Wolpe (1902-72). Wolpe’sdaughter, Katharina, visiting from Eng¬land, presented several of his piano pieceswritten between 1936 and 1969; togetherwith the Chamber Players under Shapey'sdirection, she played her father’s Piece forPiano and 16 Players (1961). Most of thepiano pieces were repeated at the end ofthe concert.Stefan Wolpe belonged to the first gen¬eration of composers to grow up hearingatonal music. Like his contemporary Kurt Weill, he studied with the visionary Bu¬soni; like Weill, he wrote music in a varietyof styles in the fertile atmosphere of Ber¬lin in the '20's. Unlike Weill, however, henever fused elements of those styles intosomething like the Three-Penny Opera; in¬stead, atonal works were written simul¬taneously with simple, forceful tonal onesfor the worker's theatre and leftist politi¬cal functions with which he was involved.Hitler’s accession to power in 1933forced Wolpes emigration. In Palestineand, after 1938, in the United States,Wolpe forged the individual style forwhich he is remembered. The first genera¬tion of 20th-century composers (Schoen¬berg, Webern, etc.) had responded to thedecreasing importance of functional har¬mony in favor of chromaticism by remov¬ing any references to a key center fromtheir music. In the 20 s, some of these com¬posers went further, using arrangementsof all 12 notes of the chromatic scale astheir basic material, thus assuring the pri¬ority of no single note.Wolpe’s music, too, became centered onthe exploration of small chunks of musicalmaterial. A few intervals in succession, arhythm, a small motive — such was thebasic stuff of a Wolpe composition; thework would be devoted to exploring andexpressing the possibilities suggested bythe original material. Strict transforma¬tion of the motive played a large part insome of his pieces; many people, includinghis student Ralph Shapey, consider hismusic “serial," i.e. based on these stricttransformations; but unlike many otherserial composers, Wolpe rarely used the12-tone row. nor did he avoid pointing upthe tonal implications his pieces might con¬tain.The first two pieces of Friday's concert,Form (1959) and Form IV: Interrupted Se¬ quence (1969), showed Wolpes maturestyle. They were followed by Seven Com¬positional Studies, some of which dateback to the years in Palestine: about asshort as a piece can be, each of these con¬sists of but a phrase or two, and lastsbarely long enough to present and workout a single brief idea. Ms. Wolpe gave allthree works straightforward, yet sensi¬tive readings.Although Wolpe could hardly be rankedamong the neoclassicists of this century,his Toccata (1941) is patterned after theBaroque sequence of toccata, adagio, andfugue. Unlike the first three pieces on theprogram, this one was not repeated in thesecond half. This reviewer found the lackof repetition particularly unfortunate,since both the piece and the performancewere arguably the most engaging of theevening.The second half of the program beganwith the Piece for Piano and 16 Players.Here texture and timbre became motivicas well; aside from intervals and rhythms,the basic material included specific sonori¬ties such as a pair of muted trumpets chat¬tering in short notes and small intervals.Some problems of ensemble marred thisperformance, and made an understandingof what was undoubtedly the thorniestwork on the program even more difficult.Throughout the program, Wolpe's indi¬vidual style and interest in the elements ofmusic was noticeable. Thoughtful perfor¬mances by Ms. Wolpe and Shapey, as wellas the use of repetitions, added to the au¬dience's appreciation.The next CCP concert, on March 7. will in¬clude music by another well-known com¬poser with a highly distinctive style: ElliotCarter. The Requiem of John Austin, re¬cently of the U. of Chicago Music depart¬ment, will also be performedTHE GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, JANUARY 28. 1983—7MaddyPaxmanVaranasi, the ghatsVARANASI-PILGRIMAGE TO A RIVERby Maddy PaxmanEvery morning five thousand of the faithful come. Beforethe new day's sun has tipped the flat river horizon, they standready; crowding the stone steps of the ghats they gaze out atthe awesome Mother Ganges, shimmering silver. Fathers,sisters, mothers, brothers; the well and the sick; infertilebrides and unsuccessful businessmen; the relatives of the recently deceased. The water is greens and greys and blacksand blues, invisible depths, immeasurable reaches. A jumbl¬ed scum of flowers and refuse clogs its surface, choking theslimy descent of steps, swilling about the legs of the bathersas they wade heedlessly into the murk. They are draped in therainbows of ritual dress; the dampness seeps into the col¬oured cloth and it clings limply to their bodies, slyly revealing the curve of limbs beneath. A fat man stands knee-deep—hisbig brown belly, a holy-string trickling across it, danglesabove a sodden orange lunghi. A woman in red wails a chantof worship; she makes three turns, bending at each to cup thewater in her hands and anoint her covered head.The air is rich with scented offerings—garlands of jasmineand marigold, little round pots burning sweet oil and incense,gifts of milk and honey to be gobbled greedily by the monsterriver. A saddhu dips three fingers in a pot of clay and tracesmagic lines across the forehead of another man, then com¬pletes it with a daub of red powder. Neptune-like, a little manwith flowing beard and iron trident hurries purposefully by,hitching up his ragged garments. A suffusion of holiness, asthough something in the morning mist, renders the ordainedindistinguishable from the secular. All is confusion and col¬our, chaos and cacophony. Like Brighton beach on a sum¬mer’s day, the shore is littered with families encamped underhuge straw shades, wet clothing spread to dry in the dawnlight, metal picnic canteens before them, dispensing purisand spiced vegetables for breakfast.Huge wooden boats jostle at the jetties, their owners com¬peting vociferously for the privilege of carrying you upriver,out onto the wide expanses to see the rising sun, like anorange, make its slow descent into the water s reflection. Onthe way back you may draw respectfully close to the funeralghats, where the dead are consumed on wooded pyres andcommitted to the river goddess. Day and night they burnbright—bodies wrapped tight in silk finery, on a bed of sturdylogs, take their final journey in a haze of bitter smoke andcrumbling charcoal. Many have come to this place especiallyto die, but there is something brutally abrupt about their pass¬ing.Away from the ghats are the inevitable profiteers. Stallswith wooden carved linga, sacred to Shiva; little sealed potscontaining a few drops of the precious river water, gaudyposter pictures of your favourite deity. Lean peasant womencrouch behind heaps of orange and white flower garlands.You can have your palm read, your scalp massaged with oil.There are stalls piled high with crinkly ten-paise pieces,where you exchange your rupees for change to give to thebeggars. And the beggars—the most impressive display oflimbless, leprous misery to be seen in all India. Line upon lineof these half-creatures grovel in the dirt and whine—thedevout give generously. But on whom to bestow you meagrefavour? Impossible to give to all, and yet impossible to singleany out...Look away. Turn your eyes once more to the turreted banksof the Ganga; there, in this frenetic dawn baptism, all the sinsof India to her people are bleached to insignificance in thewide waters of oblivion.ON JUGGLING THE COMEDY OF ERRORSby Sharon PeshkinMany of us have a hard time being takenseriously. Shakespeare, however, hasbeen posthumously plagued with the oppo¬site problem—even his comedies areshrouded in the solemn respectability ac¬corded fine art. When The Comedy ofErrors is performed with neatly articulat¬ed lines and with proper dramatic intona¬tion, there is no question that it is a tre¬mendous dramatic work with manysophisticated chuckles. But in such a rendi¬tion, the intended relation of the play andthe players to the audience is lost.The Comedy of Errors is a bawdy, licen¬tious, kooky play. It is the Animal Houseof the late 16th Century; a guaranteedbox office smash. I don’t remember a sin¬gle line from Animal House, but I do re¬member the food fight. So, too, The Come¬dy of Errors is not a play intended to leavethe audience reciting cherished lines. It is aplay intended to leave the audience nurs¬ing bruises from rolling in the aisles withlaughter.And that is exactly what the GoodmanTheatre’s production does. Artistic Direc¬tor Gregory Mosher (who conceived of sucha production) and Director Robert Woo¬druff have taken a play meant to panderto the unsophisticated popular taste of the16th century, and, cleverly, transformed itinto a play which panders to the unsophis¬ticated popular taste of the 20th century.The production is an unabashed set-up forshowing off the talents of the cast, which isprimarily composed of street and circusperformers. As a result, there is great em¬phasis on interaction with the audience.Every line is punctuated with the anticsand actions of an extraordinary collectionof clowns, musicians, trapeze artists, tight¬rope walkers, acrobats, belly dancers andeven an occasional actor. And, of course,there is nearly constant juggling. The plot, according to the programme,“has something to do with twins and jug¬gling'’, which is about ajs complex and com¬plete a summary as one needs. Basically,the plot revolves around the chaos createdin the dangerous, seedy town of Ephesus(which nobody knows how to pronounce)when Master Antipholus and Servant Dro-mio of Syracuse arrive and don’t realizethat this town already has a master Anti¬pholus and Servant Dromio—each one’slong lost twin. In the ensuing juggle of whois where with whom and why and what thehell is going on, Shakeskpeare gets to tellhideous jokes, the cast gets to show off animpressive array of skills and tricks, andthe audience is kept very much amused. The play maintains a brisk clip all theway through, which is vital for the fullchaos and excitement of the show. It hasthe feel of a precisely edited film, but theimmediacy and presence which a finelyworked over film loses to its polish. Thetransitions between scenes are bridged bya motley band or street musicians whokeep the mood and the flow going.Although the entire cast is very good,there are several particularly excellentperformances. Sophie Schwab is outstand¬ing as Adriana, the ferocious wife of An¬tipholus of Ephesus, and her tap dancing,baton twirling, juggling and general hypecreate a strong character and powerfulpresence. The Flying Karamazov Brothers and Avner the Eccentric are, as always,worth the price of admission in and ofthemselves. Alec Willows, a Canadianactor, is tremendously funny as a mer¬chant on the right side of his body and agoldsmith on the left (a sort of inversetwin). And Laurel Cronin, a familiar facefrom Court Theatre, is finally given achance to unleash her full, bawdy poten¬tial—an opportunity of which she takesfull advantage.There are a few things to criticize in thisproduction. During previews many lineswere lost to sloppy enunciation, althoughthis improved all through the perfor¬mance. Act 1 Scene 1 was omitted alto¬gether, which is baffling because it is thescene in which the story is laid out. Withoutthe first scene and clearly spoken lines,the opening action is a bit confusing if youdon’t already know the play.For the most part, Shakespeare’s lineshave been left intact. A few allusions havebeen made to contemporary classics—TheWizard of Oz, West Side Story, Jaws,Evita, Sesame Street—some of whichstruck me as inappropriate but none ofwhich were excessively obtrusive. Anextra character has been added—Shake¬speare himself, who is kept busy keepingthe two Antipholuses and the two Dromiosapart. This is definitely a clever addition,as are the lines in which the players callthe author to task for some of his particu¬larly shining or gruesomely punny lines—akind of characters' revenge.The set is, unfortunately, poorly thoughtout and shakily constructed, the costumesuninspired, and the lighting non-existent(well. . . it's on, but. . .) In spite of theseshortcomings, however, this is a terrificproduction and well worth seeing. Severalpeople (academic types—you know) haveexpressed reservations about the “con¬cept of the production; is it appropriateto present Shakespeare in such an “uncon¬ventional’’ fashion? I believe that if Sha¬kespeare is doing any rolling around in hisgrave, it is in fits of convulsive laughter.8—FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1983—THE GREY CITY JOURNALat vjpT MiCHINESE AMERICAN RESTAURANTSpecializing in Cantoneseand American dishesOpen Daily 11 A.-8:30 P.M.Closed Monday1318 E. 63rd MU 4-1062G.W.

In recentyears, supporters of the ERA had tried toeliminate the three-fifths rule to gain Houseratification, but failed at each attempt. Sev¬eral times, the amendment had gained aBarbara Flynn Currie simple majority, but not three-fifths approv¬al by either House. Currie noted that in thepast term, former Republican Speaker ofthe House and current Lieutenant GovernorGeorge Ryan had not allowed a vote on thethree-fifths rvule in the House.However, although the ERA’S ratificationdeadline expired last June, the Novemberelections saw a sweep by the Democrats ofboth the state House and Senate. With thisnew majority, Currie proposed the amend¬ment and it passed. The Chicago Tribunehad quoted State Representative Carol Mo-sely Braun (D-25) as saying, in opposition tothe rule; “If it took three-fifths for ERA,why shouldn’t it take three-fifths for any¬thing else?” Apparently Braun and otherswere concerned by the prospect of conserva¬tive proposals such as amendments requir¬ing a balanced federal budget, concerningbusing, restricting abortion, or permittingprayer in public schools, proposals she is op¬posed to, would benefit by the rules change.Currie has stated that “Majority rule isright. Majority rule is fair, whatever is onour table.” Apparently Braun and other lib¬erals were convinced, as Braun voted forCurrie’s amendment, and Currie said thosesupporting ERA voted for the rules changewhile those opposed to ERA voted againstthe rules change.Poet laureateto read hereIllinois Poet Laureate Gwendolyn Brookswill deliver the first George E.

(PaulSimon)Like the tens of nameless, faceless peoplewho enter the U of C and leave years later(some with degrees), another addition to theUniversity of Chicago has come and gone. Inthis article, the Maroon wishes to note thepassing of the First Intramural BroomballChampionship.Picture the bleak, foreboding, snow-boundMidway, desolate early on a Saturday morn¬ing in mid-January. A ragged bunch ofhardy broomball afficianados make theirway out onto the ice. But one thought is ontheir mind: sleep. No — make that two:broomball also. Yes, these are the IMbroomballers, celebrating the Winter Festi¬val in the only way they know how. Eighteenplayers from five houses come to battle itout in a sport whose rules were invented thenight before by the crazed imagination of anoted Maroon IM writer.The houses represented in the competitionwere Vincent, Hitchcock, Hale, Dudley, andCompton. Of the five, only Hitchcock had itsfull complement of players, so all of theteams were obliged to swap players in theinterest of creating some reasonable excusefor being out of bed in the cold.Game One — a combined Compton-Dudley team comprised of Andy “IM” Wro¬bel, Tom Jilly, Mike “Gatsby” Fitzgerald,and Chip O’Leary went up against an ag¬gressive young Vincent team (fresh out ofthe B-J leagues) starring Mark DeBruyn,Joe Paul, and John Trafimow. Some otherplayers probably played too, but theirnames have been obscured by the mists oftime.Both teams struggled for the upper handin a game consistent with the kind of broom¬ball action U of C fans have come to expect.For 40 grueling minutes, the heavily cladteams fought it out, with only a short breakat halftime. At the end, both teams emergedvictorious with a 2-2 tie.But wait — maybe some of you don’t knowthe rules of broomball. It’s hockey withbrooms, a soccerball, and no protectiveequipment. Anything goes in this machosport.In the second game, Hale fielded its nor¬mal starting line-up of Rob Boland, Jim Pa¬thos, Joe Tracy, “King” Rich Erlich, JoelGafman, and an assortment of Vincentplayers. They found themselves face to facewith a Hitchcock team starring Rich Perl-strom, Larry Furnstahl, Paul Demopoulos,Garret LePage, Jim Ozawa, and KwongLee. Hitchcock and Hale squared off andstarted the game. During the game, LePagewas removed with a dislocated finger, onlyto be replaced by a fresh Mark DeBruyn,clad in his familiar Northwestern jersey.Hitchcock came out on top to win this year’scompetition by winning this championshipmatch 3-2.Sports Calendar In the more obscure sports, Tufts was un¬seated as a basketball power by losing lastweek to Dewey and last Tuesday to Hale.The Tufts-Hale game Tuesday was rough,but Hale’s hidden talent emerged jin theperson of track team member Reggie Mills.Regular season basketball will continue forweeks and weeks, and the teams to beat arestill Hitchcock A, Chamberlin, and Green¬ wood. In women’s b-ball, 3’s A Crowd hasyet to be challenged as the top team.Men’s racquetball progresses into thethird round next week. Filbey’s Mark Ep¬stein and Hitchcock’s Kevin Patterson willmeet in a racquetball match the likes ofwhich will be difficult to beat for IM excite¬ment.Yah of the Week — Trying to dispelrumors of their habit of rolling up the scores when they play teams less talented thanthemselves, Compton House team membersthis week turned on each other during thefourth quarter of a basketball game againstFallers B. Blocking each others’ shots, re¬fusing to feed each other the ball, and steal¬ing the ball away from teammates, Comp¬ton put on an exceptional display of“sportsmanship”. See you in the finals,guys.Excellent performances at time trialsBy John VispoelForty-one athletes of the Varsity TrackTeam ran in the intrasquad time trials atthe Henry Crown Fieldhouse last Thursday.Many excellent performances were turnedin by team members.PHOTO BY ARA JELALIANCurt Schafer in long jump competition In the 1000-yard run, Bob Fisher finishedfirst by outrunning the strong effort of MarkGiffen, who had the lead for most of the lastportion of the race. Pete Juhn ran quickestin the 400-meter run with a time of 52.6.Aaron Rourke and Josh Kans ran personalbests in the 2 mile run, and Reggie Mills andMaan Hashem ran the fastest times in the600-yard run.Fine performances were turned in byJohn Seykora, Art Knight, and Gary Leven-son in the 800-meter run, and by Brian Wald-man in the 300-yard run who ran in a time of34.6. Finally, as in previous meets, CurtSchafer gave superior performances in thehigh jump, long jump, and the triple jumpfinishing first in all three events.The Freshmen-Sophomore contingent ofthe team faced a number of Illinois JuniorColleges in a meet Wedneday, that featuredfive relays and eight individual events. Themeet was scored which shows how well theFrosh-Sophs can compete against these Jun¬ior Colleges, some of which are among thestrongest in the nation. The results from thismeet will be featured in the next issue. Fi¬nally, the Varsity team was forced to cancela meet at Ann Arbor, Michian last Saturday,because of poor weather. LPHOTO BY ARA JELALIANRelay team passing the batonWomen's basketball team routs Beloit 78-35Shooting 52 percent from the field and al¬lowing only 12 field goals by its opponents,the University of Chicago women’s basket¬ball team routed Beloit 78-35 at the FieldHouse Tuesday. The victory raised theteam’s conference record to 5-2 and itsoverall mark to 7-4.Gretchen Gates once again led Chicago’sscoring, contributing 23 points. Three otherMaroons also scored in double figures, in¬cluding Helen Straus with 12, Karen Walsh11, and Wendy Pietrzak 10. Dana Howd con¬tributed 11 of the team’s 18 assists in the of¬fensive effort.Led by the play of Beverly Davis, theteam’s defense also played a key part in thevictorv. Chicago outrebounded Beloit 48-29, as Straus pulled down 12 rebounds. TheMaroons held the Buccaneers to a 19 percentfield goal shooting average.With just five conference games and ninegames overall left, the Maroons are in anexcellent position to have winning seasons in both their conference and overall sched¬ules.

Themen’s team lost to Illinois Institute of Tech¬nology by a score of 43-70.Fencers foil U of /-ChicagoBy Brad MarinLast week the men’s fencing team travell¬ed to Angola, Indiana for a four-team meetwhich gave Chicago its second win of theseason.According to coach Bob Ostrowski, “Theteam should have done better,” but showedmuch promised despite losing top perform¬ers on the sabre, foil, and epee squads due tograduation.The day began slowly with a loss to astrong Badger team from University of Wis¬consin. The Maroons did better against hostTri-State as the sabre squad edged the oppo¬nents 5-4. However, the other squads did notpick up the slack and the Maroons lost thematch 15-12.When the Maroons squared off with theUniversity of Illinois-Chicago, the resultswere better. The sabres won convincingly7-2 and the epee squad gained a 5-4 decision.Though the foil squad lost 5-4 Chicagoemerged with a 16-12 win.Ostrowski praised the sabre squad, whichwas 15-12 for the day, as well as the individu¬al performances of Ben Wold (sabre, 4-1)and Tom Greiner (epee, 5-3). The teamgained a victory to give it its second after a win over Minnesota at Northwestern theprevious week.If you are tied of the verbal parry and thethrust of the Socratic method, the team in¬vites you to see the physical version tomor¬row at 10 a.m. The team will be facing Pur¬due, Northwestern, Wisconsin, anddefending NCAA champs Wayne State in theField House.Midwest Conference StandingsNorth DivisionConference SeasonW L W LBeloit 5 1 8 4Chicago 3 4 7 5Lawrence 2 3 6 7Ripon 2 3 4 10Lake Forest 1 4 5 8South DivisionMonmouth 5 0 8 4Knox 4 2 5 8Coe 5 3 6 9Carleton 4 5 6 10Grinnell 2 3 3 8Cornell 2 3 4 10Keith Libert of Chicago and Scott Shaver of Mon-mouth lead the conference in individual scoringaverage with a 20.0 points per game. The men dropped the first two events, the400-yard medley relay and the 1000-yardfreestyle, but a first and second place finishin the 100-yard freestyle narrowed the score12-13. The men’s team, however, nevercame close to the lead again as ITT widenedthe point margin until the conclusion of themeet.First place finishes for the men’s teamcame from three individual performancesand one relay team victory. The team ofPhil Hoffman, John Hotchkiss, Mike Noble,and Mike Ruddat won the 400-yard freestylerelay. Hoffman. Noble, and Duane Canevaeach won one individual event. Hoffmanwon the 200-yard freestyle, and Noble wonthe 500-yard freestyle, while Caneva placedfirst in the 1-meter diving event.A dominant factor that tipped the scaleagainst U of C was ITT’s Steve Iida. Steve,brother of current Chicago 100-yard and 200-yard breaststroke record holder Tim Iida.w'on all three of his individual events.Diver Caneva received his first loss of theseason with a third place finish in the 3-meter diving event. Coach Pell feels thatCaneva is putting together a nice mix ofdives, and the Illinois Intercollegiate Cham¬pionships this weekend will offer Canevasome good competition.The Illinois Intercollegiate Champion¬ships, this Friday and Saturday, will haveapproximately 12 Division III schools fromIllinois. Coach Pell says that he is lookingforward to substantial time drops by theteam, especially in the distance events. Healso feels that the meet will gauge where themen stand at this point in the season.The Chicago Maroon—Friday, January' 28, 1983—17Classified AdsSPACESTUDENT DISCOUNT on Quarterly rental ofStudio Apt. 52nd + Woodlawn. $200-$225/mo.incl. all but elect.
