The Chicago MaroonVolume 93, No. 22 The University of Chicago ©Copyright 1983 The Chicago Maroon Friday, November 18, 1983Students split on+/-issueBy Hilary TillStudent Government and theMaroon conducted a phonesurvey Tuesday, to find out thestudent view on the +/- grad¬ing issue. The results showthat of those college studentswho have an opinion on the de¬bated introduction of +/- grad¬ing, about a half are in favorand half opposed. The poll alsoreveals that students are quiteunsure about the consequencesof the institution of +/- grad-ingTThe 100 students that werecontacted for the poll wererandomly selected via a com¬puter. When asked, “Should+’s and -’s appear on tran¬scripts?” 45 percent of stu¬dents with an opinion on thesubject answered yes and 55percent answered no. Fortypercent of students with an ex¬pressed viewpoint on the issueanswered in the affirmative to the question, “Should +/-grading be included in GradePoint Averages (GPA’s)?”Assuming a truly randomsample, one can assert with 95percent confidence that both ofthese figures reflect the corre¬sponding college-wide figuresby within 11 percent. In otherwords, it is fairly certain thatbetween 34 and 56 percent ofstudents in the college are infavor of + /- grades appearingon transcripts, and between 29and 51 percent are for includ¬ing + /- grades in the computa¬tion of GPA’s.A student who thought +/-grading would decrease anxi¬ety about grades explained.“You wouldn’t have to totallyfreak out when you’re onepoint away from a B. You’d geta C+.” But another studentwho was against + /- gradingcountered, “A lot of anxietyabout grades exists as it isnow. Adding more increments would increase competition.Representing those who be¬lieved 47- grading would haveno impact on anxiety aboutgrades, one student asked,“What’s the point to it?”A student who believed that47- grading would increaseGPA’s explained, “Peoplewould work for plusses.” An¬other student believed that be¬cause very few A-t-’s would begiven, the average GPA woulddecrease. Taking yet anotherstance on the subject, one stu¬dent said that all the 4-’s and-’s would cancel each otherout, resulting in no net changein the average GPA in the col¬lege.Next week: The views of pro¬fessors and the administrationon the debated grading changewill be presented in Tuesday’sMaroon. An article on gradingin other schools will also ap¬pear in Tuesday’s paper. PHOTO BY ARA JELALIANPredicted effects of +/- grading accord¬ing to surveyProf addresses 'ghettoization'By Jeff TaylorIn an American conscious¬ness that has begun to focus in¬creasingly on Syrians, starwars and Sandinistas, littleroom, it seems, has been leftfor out-of-vogue urban issueslike racial inequity and schoolsegregation. “Ghettoization,”.Gary Orfield a trend that meets minorityhousing needs by convertingmore and more neighborhoodbuildings into low-rent hous¬ing, continues today as it hasfor the past half-century, butwithout the vocal condemna¬tion it once received from civilrights activists. And men likeintegration proponent GaryOrfield, political science pro¬fessor at the University of Chi¬cago, have become a rarebreed.2 Orfield, a specialist in urban3 minority issues and perennial< consultant for school desegre-gation cases, said in a recent< interview that Chicago is one< of the most segregated cities in« the country. Since taking his° PhD from the U of C in 1963, hex has “developed a very stronga continuing interest in integra¬tion.”During his day as a graduate student, Orfield recalls, “Chi¬cago was very different. Therewas a huge struggle going on inthe city. Martin Luther Kingwas leading giant demonstra¬tions all over the country, andhe was here in ’65 and ’66 tobolster the Chicago FreedomMovement. There were literal¬ly thousands of people in thestreets. I think students here(at the U of C) were a lot moreinterested then in racialissues.”And “there was still a lot ofthe aftermath of the struggleover the renovation of HydePark,” he said, “with heavyracial charges going back andforth.”While finishing his doctor¬ate, Orfield did research in LosAngeles during the Watts riotsof 1966. “What I saw here andin Los Angeles had a very bigcontinued on page 10 ... on GPARaise GPA 19%Lower GPA 20%No Change 46%No Opinion 15%... on accuracy of gradingMore Accurate 58%Less Accurate 7%No Change 32%No Opinion 3%... on grade consciousnessIncrease 57%Decrease 14%No Change 25% -No Opinion 5%Juan Soliz: Hispanic activist speaks on immigrationBy Veronika KotJuan Soliz, a speaker atMonday’s forum “The Politicsof Immigration: US ForeignPolicy and Asylum, ” is a Hi¬spanic community activistband former candidate forstate representative.In the past two years, withrising political empowermentamong Chicago minorities,Soliz has been in the forefrontfor Hispanic political causes.In 1982, Soliz mounted a strongchallenge to State Rep. MarcoDomico in the West Side’s 20thdistrict, an area which has be¬ come heavily populated withHispanics in recent years.Soliz backed Harold Wash¬ington’s mayoral campaignand also supported Juan Velas¬quez’s efforts to topple 25thWard Aid. Vito Marzullo.Soliz’s efforts led to the cre¬ation of the Independent Politi¬cal Organization of the WestSide, which plans a fightagainst Marzullo’s organiza¬tion in next spring’s commit¬teeman elections.In this interview, Soliz, thesupervisory attorney of theLegal Services Center for Im-Dennis Brutuson foreign policy:page seven a transcriptInsidegcjTHE AESTHETICOF PAIN cover Juan Solizmigrants, discusses LatinAmerican emigration andoffers some insight into Hi¬spanic political causes today.Q. What are the main causes ofemigration from Mexico andCentral America and are thetwo cases significantly dif¬ferent?A. They’re not significantlydifferent except that in somecountries where there’s a civilwar or civil strife such as in ElSalvador, people are cominghere because it’s dangerous tolive there. Aside from the factthat they are economic refu¬gees as well, there are many,many political refugees thatactually (have) a well-founded fear of persecution inasmuchas they are on the list of deathsquads or they may be somepublisher of a newspaper thatfell out of graces of the mili¬tary government. But for themost part, people immigratinginto this country from Mexicoand other countries of Centraland Latin America are fleeingfrom an economic situationwhich has stagnated any kindof political progress or anykind of economic progress inthose countries. Consequentlyyou have a lot of people immi¬grating into this country out ofpure necessity, out of survival,just like our poor parents im¬migrated into this country be¬cause there was a need to seeka better opportunity given thatour situation at home was eco¬nomically very bad.Q. What about the resources ofthe immigrants? Are there dif¬ferent levels of skills and abili¬ties?A. You find that they are gen¬erally unskilled...You find thatthey will then seek either jobsin the marginal industries orthe minor industries or thefarming industry or the restau¬rant industry, the service in¬dustries. And that's where youfind the largest numbers of im¬migrants simply because theirskills are not that elevated.You also find that their educa¬ tional development in theirhome country, because of theireconomic situation or becauseof the lack of schools or be¬cause of the high illiteracyrates...is just not that great.Consequently they have to re¬sort to those kinds of jobs.On the other hand you alsofind, although they’re not inthe mainstream, that there areimmigrants from the otherclasses...but I think for themost part...they are generallyunskilled. Which is what thiscountry needs the most, actu¬ally. Some industries will justnot survive (without them)...If you look at our foreign pol¬icy — even Kissinger made astatement once that we have tohave a flexible border becauseif we don’t allow the immi¬grants from Mexico and Cen¬tral America to come into thiscountry in large numbers thenthere’s not going to be a“valve” there...and conse¬quently we’ll have many morerevolutions.Q. So it’s a safety valve?A. Like a safety valve.Q. What is your opinion of Rea¬gan’s Hispanic Cabinet ap¬pointments? Are they just usedto cover up for general poli¬cy?A. It’s a last-minute effort totry to woo the Hispanic vote.continued on page fourDON'T FRETIF YOU MISSED OUR OKTOBER FESTJOIN US FOR OUR THANKSGIVING FARE Mn* StentTHANKSGIVING 1983ISill of ^FarcAppetizersKxcrilo Solid Color Dress Shirts — reg S22.50 — $17.90 3/S53.00100«.

As faith¬ful followers of our advertising may have determined by now, winterquarter tuition bills have been sent via Reynolds Club mailroom folders.(See page three). While we encourage use of the mailroom, we object tothis particular use.Our objection rests on lack of notification. The bills are dated Nov. 13(Monday), yet no public announcement of the new practice was madeuntil today, Nov. 18 (Friday). The bursar’s and dean’s offices know tu¬ition billing dates better than we do. So why was no prior notice given tostudents that bills would no longer be sent through the mail but would beput in folders? All previous bills have been mailed to students, includingthe second autumn quarter statements.The bursar’s office may have a legitimate complaint when they saymany students had trouble receiving their bill through the mail, and wecan understand the dean’s office wanting to get more use of themailroom; however, three assumptions, perhaps preposterous, havebeen made with today’s notification — that all College students have thegood sense to read the Maroon, that in their frenzy to peruse all its con¬tents they will immediately see the half-page ad amid the 24-page issue,and that in their anticipation of today’s issue they will read and see thead today.Assuming that these assumptions are true, this will give students onlythree days to go to Reynolds Club and pick up their bill. If some studentsmiss the ad by their infatuation with our copy, or, gads, they don’t evenread the paper, they will have even less time to catch on to this turkey ofan idea before most head home for Thanksgiving. We recall that thedean’s office recommended checking the folders once a week, and wedoubt that the majority of those missing today’s notification will checkthe folders before a possible sojourn over the holiday, thus giving stu¬dents their bill just days before it’s due.Use of the mailroom should be encouraged, and perhaps this idea willcatch on in time. Yet given the short period of time between notificationof students before the final billing date and the hectic pace of thequarter’s last stages, we question the implementation of this practicebefore visiting the mailroom has become part of campus routine.NEWSJuan Solizcontinued from page oneFor four years now he’s left us com¬pletely out in the cold. Reaganomicshas been a disaster for our communi¬ties. And he knows that the Hispaniccommunities felt the harshness of hispolicy. So what he is trying to do in thiseleventh hour is to try to cater to theHispanic vote. There was a fear in theCongress, in the (Democratic con¬trolled) House of Representatives par¬ticularly, that Reagan wanted theSimpson-Mazzolli Bill to go through theCongress and be enacted; however, hewould veto the piece of legislation inorder to make himself look good withHispanics. So Tip O’Neill tabled thepiece of legislation to deny the Republi¬cans that opportunity. So you had theRepublicans and the Democrats fight¬ing each other to the benefit of the Hi¬spanic community because this veryrepressive piece of legislation waskilled in that fashion.Q. What is your opinion of US immigra¬tion policy with regard to Latin Ameri¬ca?A. What we have is a situation wherewe’re looked at through the eyes of theAmerican public, because of the brain¬washing that has taken place, the hys¬teria that has erupted, as the cause ofunemployment. We’re looked at as thecause of the problem with the balanceof payments even to the extreme au¬dacity that the undocumented popula¬tion was stealing elections from thecity of Chicago last year, because theywere registering to vote and voting. Atleast that’s what they were accused of.So you find that they’re being accusedof all of those things. Consequently youhave a policy, although it’s not written,but it seems to me that the Immigra¬tion and Naturalization Service has been used as the arm to rid ourselves ofthis “plague” that’s invading thiscountry, that is the...Hispanic undocu¬mented population. You have, conse¬quently, large-scale raids in our com¬munities that are resulting inthousands of Hispanics being arrested,and our communities being singled outby the Immigration Service to be sub¬jected to deportation. And in that senseit’s a very discriminatory kind of prac¬tice...and it’s really what outrages ourcommunity the most. I think our com¬munity understands that there has tobe an Immigration and NaturalizationService and that there are laws thathave to be observed. However when weare treated differently than other im¬migrant communities then that’s dis¬crimination, and that’s unfair, andthat’s what most of us are alarmed atand are fighting day and night to try tochange.Q. So what should be US immigrationpolicy if an open-door policy is imposs¬ible? What sorts of laws would you liketo see?A. We would like to see every Ameri¬can worker including the immigrantshave certain protections: so that theycan work in this country and not haveto be subjected to exploitive condi¬tions ; so that they can be guaranteed aminimum wage; so that they can beguaranteed fair labor standards intheir workplace so they don’t have towork under dangerous working condi¬tions; so that their environment is asclean as everyone else’s. And basicallywhat I would like to see that all of thelaws presently exist to protect therights of American workers, period,should be enforced so that employerswho are eager to hire undocumentedworkers simply because they can ex¬ploit them can’t have that incentive be¬cause they would have to comply withThe Chicago MaroonThe Chicago Maroon is the official student newspaper of the University of Chicago.

Concrete action against nuclear putschTo the editor:I heartily applaud Corrine Lally-Ben-edetto’s November 4th anti-nuclear re¬buttal to Hilary Till’s October 21stviewpoint.Besides simply free-riding off of herinitiative, however, I would like to adda note on what concrete actions stu¬dents can actually take to halt the deci¬sive putsch currently being undertakenby Com Ed to irreversibly commit Illi¬nois to five new nuclear plants. Inas¬much as putsch has come to shove, stu¬dents must act immediately.First, students should attend a con¬ference on the problems of this pendingnuclearization program and what theycan do about it which is being present¬ed at Northwestern University fromFriday, November the 18th to Sundaythe 20th. This conference is jointlysponsored by such organizations as theIllinois Safe Energy Alliance and theNuclear Energy Information Service.The conference will also include ses¬sions on the potential hazards of theMidwest Waste Disposal Compact. Forinformation and registration, call786-9041.Second, even if students are unable toattend these educative°organizationalsessions, I urge them to join one of thearea’s anti-nuclear organization’s suchas ISEA, NEIS, the Illinois Chapter ofCritical Mass, or PACE (PeopleAgainst Commonwealth Edison). Thefourth of these is linked with the restand is based right here in Hyde Park for easy access. Besides working sim¬ply reactively and negatively againstCom Ed and against the worst aspectsof the Nuclear Waste Compact, as ourname suggests, we are also workingproactively and affirmative for theconsideration and possible adoption bythe Mayor of a comprehensive blue¬print for job development and cost-sav¬ing through retrofitting alternative en¬ergy devices in the city of Chicago.This plan was developed by the Chica¬go organization, Business and Profes¬sional People for the Public Interest inMarch of 1983. The plan includes de¬tailed projects of the economic “rippleeffects” of such a major constructionprogram and is ready for immediateimplementation. Working in HydePark, in coalition with the other afore¬mentioned groups on the North Side,and with the Mayor’s Town Hall andEconomic Planning Board projects inthe 2nd, 3rd, and 4th wards, we hope toeffect a tangible impact on the way inwhich Chicago produces its abstractenergy end-uses. We urge students tojoin with us today in this albeit immod¬est undertaking. PACE usually meetson Thursday evenings at the home ofMarjorie Feren.

It would reallybe an extreme hardship for them to bedeported. (They) have actually contri¬buted positively to the community in¬asmuch as they are working and pay¬ing taxes, just like everyone else. WhatI would like to see is that those individ¬uals be granted legalized status, sincewe allowed them really to come intothis country through this open door,half-open door policy that we had. Ithink that we should not fool ourselves.If this country really wanted to excludeimmigrants from coming from Mexicothrough the southern border they couldconstruct another Berlin wallthere...But the truth of the matter isthat they’ve wanted to keep the dooropen to provide business and industrywith cheap labor.Q. What about allegations that undocu¬mented workers take jobs from Ameri¬can citizens, lower wages or are usedas strike busters?A. There is undoubtedly an impact thatthe immigrant worker has on the em¬ployment picture and I would be naiveto deny that.

It is even more vital when deal¬ing with a press as irresponsible, hys¬terical, and sensationalist as many ele¬ments of the American media are. Therights and duties of individuals in a freesociety must always be prudentlyweighed in relation to one another. Intime of war or emergency, there areconcerns which outweigh a reporter’sdemand to file the first and fullest re¬port regardless of the consequences ofhis disclosures.Many of the arguments against thepress policy make the restrictions outto be more stringent than they were.They also charge or insinuate that thegovernment is lying. In this, the criticshave failed to tackle the evidence head-on. Advocacy journalism is one of thefew professions in which one is permit¬ted to level serious charges withoutfeeling the need to prove them. Sure,governments sometimes lie. So do re¬porters.The most serious censorship re¬vealed by the Grenada operation is theself-censorship of the media.

Allcurrent abortion law is based on two Supreme Courtdecisions, Hoe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, both hand¬ed down on January 22, 1973. The Court ruled, first,that there can be absolutely no restriction on abor¬tions during the first six months of pregnancy,though states may regulate the techniques used inthe second trimester to safeguard maternal health.Secondly, it ruled that in the last three months, anystate “may, if it chooses, regulate, and even pro¬scribe, abortion”; but it need not, since regulation isonly an option. Furthermore, according to Doe v.Bolton, all that is necessary to override state restric¬tions that may exist is for one licensed physican tostate that an abortion is in the interest of a woman’shealth, where “health” is defined as “all factors rel¬evant to well-being,” and includes everything frommarital and economic status to peace of mind.Therefore, in the nation as a while, abortion is legalon demand until birth.

In addition, although the IllinoisLegislature has attempted to introduce restrictionson abortion (short of prohibition), each of these re¬strictions, with the single exception of parental no¬tice, has been struck down by District and US Su¬preme Court rulings as unconstitutional; the resultbeing that the Illinois law is on a par with the nation¬al, allowing abortion up to the time of birth (pleasesee the Illinois Abortion Law of 1973, PA 79-1126, inthe Law Library). The same is true in all otherstates. Those who regard a woman’s right to choiceas supreme generally approve of this situation; thosewho hold that the fetus possesses a right to life disap¬prove. So the controversy continues.This kind of impasse seems symptomatic of a con¬flict not merely between people, but between princi¬ples, in this case, two of the principles which underliethe Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, those of lifeand liberty. None but the most extreme partisans inthe abortion debate deny the basic validity of theprinciple invoked by their opponents — one does notfind “Pro-Death” or “Pro-Oppression” groups in thephone book — but both camps do maintain that theseemingly opposing principle does not apply in thecase of abortion.When we look at the two positions more closely, wesee that if the fetus is not a human being, laws limit¬ing abortion only to cases endangering the woman’sphysical life would unfairly restrict her right tomake private reproductive choices, and especially tomake use of her body as she pleases. Our systemplaces a premium on individual freedom, and legis¬lation which arbitrarily restricts this freedom be¬comes an instrument of oppression, making the indi¬ vidual increasingly a creature of the state.Furthermore, if the fetus is a part of the woman’sbody, and no more, abortion itself may be a positivegood. Women are spared the unnecessary pain ofchild-bearing and child-rearing, which is oftenheightened by their being poor or single. Also, ifabortion were outlawed, many more children wouldbe born to suffer physical and mental abuse, becausethey would be unwanted; many more others wouldbe born mentally retarded or physically deformed.So, in the absence of legally significant fetal life, wemay be guided not only by the principle of liberty,but by the principle of mercy.If, on the other hand, the unborn are human, it seems reasonable to hold that the Federal and stategovernments should treat them as persons and there¬fore restrict abortions to clearly life-and-death situa¬tions, on the same grounds that forbid anyone to de¬prive another person of life without due process oflaw. In other words, in conflicts between the rights ofpersons, the right to life takes precedence over theright to liberty. For example, while a newborn infantrestricts its mother’s liberty in many ways, she is notlegally permitted to take her child’s life. This ruledoes not deny the mother’s liberty in principle, butrather subordinates her liberty to the higher princip¬le of the child’s life. ,, , „ „continued on page sevenHoliday in El Salvadorthe demonstrations in the shopping district, and hadBy Ian Brody accidentally been locked in a store for four hours.Before I actually describe a “Holiday in El Salva- Enthralled?

When we arrived in San Salvador, we wereadvised to stay in our hotel, since there were demon¬strations expected over the most recent “elections.”Naturally we, Jos gringos, did. However, as many ofyou who have been on these package tours know,there are usually exceedingly dull day trips to thevarious “natural wonders” of the country, and someof the country’s more boring tourist spots. Along theway to a volcano that is in El Salvador, I was amazedat this one large hill that was covered with tiny cor-regated metal shacks. Our tour guide told me thatover 10,000 of San Salvador’s residents live on thathill. Later on, we passed through one of these vil¬lages (although smaller) and the tour guide asked usif we might give some charity to the children. Well,we Uos gringos) were all about to start passingmoney out the windows of the tour bus when she (ourguide) yelled for us to stop. She then spoke for a min¬ute to the children (in the mixed Spanish and Indiantongue of the people) and they all got in a line. Shecollected our money, and gave each child an equalamount. She told us that in the past, children hadkilled each other for the spare change tossed out ofthe tour bus windows.Later on we were supposed to go to the nationalmuseum, but it had been closed for the day becauseof demonstrations. (When we arrived, a police of¬ficer wielding a submachine gun explained the situa¬tion to our guide. Almost all the police in San Sal¬vador carried submachine guns.) We arrived backat the hotel to find some of our friends quiteenthralled, for they had been caught up in some of Later that afternoon, (given some inspiration,) mymother and I went across the street to a shoppingplaza that appeared to have been built especially forlos gringos. We saw a small boy about four or fiveyears old, wandering rather aimlessly along thesidewalks in the open air mall. He had on only a shirtand shorts, and needed a good grooming. We decidedto try and help the little guy out and try to locate hismother. Well, he was quite receptive to us, but (sur¬prisingly?) did not beg. We managed to speak withhim a little (I had several years of Spanish in highschool). Anyway, after being quite discouraged afterlooking for his mother for 15 minutes, we decided icecream was in order (and you can imagine his faceupon receiving said.) Shortly afterwards he spottedhis mother, and in the midst of a joyous reunifica¬tion, we decided it better to leave, having performedour 4‘good deed.” I was amazed at how much dif¬ferent, yet how similar, the small boy was to chil¬dren lined up outside the tour bus earlier that day.The next day, we found the mother and son (with acouple of other children) outside the hotel. Themother, dressed in rags, attempted to pay back themoney we spent on the ice cream, plus a good dealmore for helping her child. The amount she offered(250 may very well have been her life savings. (Nat¬urally we refused.)My guess is that 90 percent of El Salvador could beturned pro-American, if we just gave each person anice-cream cone.I can’t help wondering it any of the various groupsinvolved with El Salvador are helping it in any way.Those people aren’t upset about who happens to be incontrol and why, they are protesting against beingtreated like dirt; they are protesting about starva¬tion; they are protesting about decent clothes andshelter; and they are protesting about human dig¬nity.U of C contingent protests at DC rallyBy Carol E. Klammerand David PostThe November 12 coalition, a move¬ment joined by diverse ethnic, politi¬cal, and religious groups, illustratedlessons in social action for the 1980s.This past weekend a contingent of U ofC students joined other Southside resi¬dents on a bus to Washington, D.C.Eight other Chicago buses traveled thesame road, along with tens of thou¬sands of protesters from every easternstate.Leslie Kagan, from the Mobilizationfor Survival, summed up what broughtthem together. “We are bringing to¬gether two powerful social movements— the movement for nuclear disarma¬ment and the anti-interventionistmovement.” Rev. Jesse Jackson called for a “rainbow coalition” to de¬feat Reaganism, and Rev. WilliamSloan Coffin, of Riverside Church,spoke of a “need for togetherness tocrowd out desperation.” The nationaldemonstration was co-sponsored byover 50 unions, church groups, andthird world solidarity groups.On the morning of Nov. 12 three sepa¬rate demonstrations were held in areasreflecting the themes of the protest. Infront of the Immigration Servicesbuilding, protesters heard how the USdeports Salvadorans asking politicalasylum in this country: to grant refu¬gee status to Salvadorans (as has beendone for Soviet dancers and Chinesetennis stars) would imply that the gov¬ernment we support there is less thansplendid, many speakers maintained. One mile away, at the Health andHuman Services Department, anotherdemonstration deplored cutting socialprograms in order to increase militaryspending. At the State Department, theGrenada invasion, the “convert” CIAwar in Nicaragua, and the nuclearbuild-up were all the subject of angrydununciation. Following the three sep¬arate rallies, protests converged in amarch to the ellipse facing the WhiteHouse.At the ellipse speakers included USRepresentative Ted Weiss, singerHolly Near, Kagan, Central Americanstudent leader Laudero Sandino, Jack-son, and Coffin. Coffin called on Ameri¬cans to “make like citizens, not likesubjects,” and to realize that commu¬nists do not make revolutions. Rather,he maintained, “revolutions are man¬ufactured by cruel and oppressive gov¬ernments, such as the one we are pre¬sently supporting in El Salvador.”Coffin faulted President Reagan, notfor being wrong, but for being dishon¬est because “dishonesty not only un¬dercuts democracy; lies inevitablylead to violence to support them, justas violence leads to lies to justify itsuse.”Kagan also expressed anger at theReagan administration, which gives“lies in justification for the invasion ofGrenada.” She said that “each timeour government escalates militaryconflicts in any corner of the world,they do it in our name.” Concerning de¬ployment of Cruise and Pershing IImissies, Kagan noted that “when youhold a gun to someone’s head, it doesn’tmatter if you pull the trigger. You areusing that weapon.”On the Hyde Park bus, demonstra- Nov. 12 Coalitiontion participants from diverse back¬grounds shared their reasons for goingto Washington and joining the coali¬tion. One passenger wrote in the triplog, “We should be thinking of things todo so people don’t have to do this everyyear.” Another wrote. “My reason forbeing here is to speak clearly to thepoint that the US trying to dictate poli¬cy to the rest of the world is wrong.”“I’m far more scared than in otheryears,” said one participant. Anoherasked “Will it make any difference? Itwill to me... Only through actions ofsolidarity can the faintest spark ofhope remain.” Finally, said one man.“the American people as 1 know themthrough my job, my neighborhood, myfriends and family, are increasinglyfrustrated with the policies Reagan vo¬calizes...

He recently defeated an effort bythe US Immigration and Naturalization Service todeport him to Zimbabwe (where, Brutus claimed,South African agents would have assassinated him),or to Britain. Brutus’ prolonged legal battle for asy¬lum as drawn much national and international atten¬tion.Other speakers included Hector Marroquin, aMexican socialist and trade unionist, whose appealfor political asylum is currently before the US Su¬preme Court, and Darlene Gramigna of the ChicagoReligious Task Force on Central America, which co¬ordinates a controversial program providing sanctu¬ary in US churches for Salvadoran refugees subjectto deportation by the INS.The following is the text of Brutus’ speech, tran¬scribed by John Conlon, a graduate student in eco¬nomics.I should by way of preface just say that I believemy own political asylum victory was a victory alsofor the people of South Africa, because those whosupported me supported me because they saw me asan expression of the struggle for justice and freedomin South Africa and thus they were willing to give metheir support. But I would go further and say that itwas also a victory for the thousands in this country,including people on this campus, who supported mein that immigration battle, the fight to avoid depor¬tation. The judge ended by saying it was quite clearthat the apartheid government (it’s not of course aSouth African government, it’s the government of aminority of less than 18 percent of the people of SouthAfrica) did go into neighboring countries with itscommandos (not exactly marines restoring democ¬racy at gunpoint, the sort of thing we’ve seen inGrenada) to assassinate their opponents, that theyhave hit squads, and so he was able to grant the polit¬ical asylum. But I’m convinced that it was becauseover 30,000 people in the United States wrote letters,signed petitions, were outside the courtroom withplacards picketing, and then, of course you had edi¬torials, in the New York Times, the Los AngelesTimes, the Boston Globe, the Washington Post, allpointing out the blatant injustice. And so ultimatelyit was a victory for me and also for the people ofSouth Africa, and also for the thousands of people inthis country who were willing to stand up and findthe energy and the time to express their commit¬ment to an issue which clearly turned on the questionof justice. And so I would like to take this occasion tothank you, all of you here and all over the country,who supported me in that victory, and to stress thislesson: we can win, if we mobilize, if we organize, ifwe get it together, whether it is in the creation ofmore sanctuaries for Salvadorans, so that instead of75, we have 750, all across the country; it’s some¬thing we can all do.At the same time I think we have to explore theinvestment that the United States, the governmentand the multinational corporations, have in oppres¬sion elsewhere, whether it is in Haiti, or in El Sal¬ vador, or in Mexico, or in South Africa, where theyhave $14.6 billion invested. Because you see thiscreates the tension out of which the contradictionarises. For the government and the establishment inthis country to admit that the people of Haiti are flee¬ing from Haiti because they are oppressed, becausethey are exploited, is at the same time to admit thecomplicity of the United States corporations in thatprocess of exploitation, in that oppression. You lookat El Salvador; why are people fleeing from El Sal¬vador? Because corpses are still found on the streetsevery day. But the government that sends out thosepara-military death squads is a government receiv¬ing its money and its guns from the United States.And therefore to say, “We offer those people protec¬tion” is also to say “We are protecting them fromour own ally out there who is trampling on basichuman rights.” So you have that kind of dilemmathat you have to confront. And it seems to me theway to confront it is by the mobilization of the peo-Dennis Brutuspie, by the expression of concern and the assertion ofhuman rights, of human dignity.I want to pick up on that just for one moment andlook a what I see as a very alarming tendency in theUnited States at the present time, one which there¬fore requires even greater effort. I believe we areentering a phase of very great danger. It seems tome that the fears that are coming out of Nicaraguaof an attack, of an invasion there, are justified fears.If you read the papers for two weeks before the inva¬sion of Grenada, you will see that every day theGrenadian government and the Cuban governmentwere saying, “We expect an invasion.” They couldsee it coming. The newspapermen were kept awaybecause supposedly the invasion was a secret. Butfor two weeks people had been predicting the inva¬sion was going to take place. And, because this inva¬sion has taken place with so little protest, and be¬cause there has been this manipulation of the mediato present to the people of America the image of a country which supports the President in this inva¬sion (which he also calls an invasion although headds you shouldn’t call it an invasion). (The ReaganAdministration has been able to create) the illusionthat the American people are in favor of the invasionof Grenada. This becomes the prelude to the farmore dangerous and explosive invasion either of Ni¬caragua or, in the case of El Salvador, a coup to re¬place murderers by even more cynical and brutalmurderers. In either case, the situation becomes in¬creasingly dangerous.Now one of the curious things that happens is thatas you begin to spread your power across the globe,this whole notion of being the fastest gun in the West,you know, and going out there and then patting allyour fellow bullies on the head, whether it’s a crookline Nakasone and Tanaka in Japan, or Chun DooHwan in South Korea, who was applauded by Rea¬gan this week, wherever you go, supporting thesebullies — a Pinochet in Chile, a Marcos in the Philip¬pines — at the same time that you exert that externalpressure you have to worry about internal pressure.You have to worry about keeping the local people inorder as well. And there you have a very interestingthing. A mysterious explosion takes place in the Cap¬ital, a kind of meaningless explosion; it didn’t domuch, didn’t hurt anybody. But within 24 hours youhave a massive security apparatus installed withsurveillance and TV cameras and metal detectorsand people wearing ID badges and you know what’shappened? The American people cannot go and visittheir own Congressmen in their offices in the Capi¬tal. You have to first pass through half a dozen secu¬rity checks. And so you can isolate those who havepower from those on whose behalf they exercisepower. And you must see in this country a wave ofcontrol and repression and manipulation which is toensure that while this new phase where “Americawalks tall,” is out there with gunboat diplomacy andgunpoint democracy, while that’s happening exter¬nally, there must also be internal pressure. And youhave a process of control being developed of.which apart is the isolation of those who might be critical ofthe regime. A Hector Marroquin can be a very trou¬blesome person to have around. And so you must finda way of getting rid of him.I believe in my own case, if it had not been for themassive mobilization and the public attention, Iwould have been on a plane. You know, a couple ofmarshalls escorting me quietly to a plane. The judgesaid, “If you send this man to England, he’ll be on afast plane to Johannesburg.” That was his replywhen they tried to put me on a plane to Britain. Hesaid from Britain I would end up in the hands of theSouth African secret police.So, again, let me conclude — I know the time isshort — but I do want to stress the need to see thisrepression directed at immigrants as part of a muchlarger picture which is repression even of the Ameri¬can people: the withholding of information, the deni¬al of access to the press, the distortions of the media,misrepresentation; and it does mean that we mustbe willing to mobilize, massively, to a degree that wehave not been able to mobilize since the years of theVietnam War. We will have to have thousands of peo¬ple on the streets, demanding justice and opposingwar. That way we can win. Thank you.Abortioncontinued from page fiveSo we see that in the case of abortion,no real conflict exists over the validityof choice and life as principles, butrather over their proper application;and this application depends uponwhether or not the fetus is a humanbeing. A few other examples will illus¬trate this point more clearly. We havealready noted, for instance, the com¬mon argument that abortion preventschild abuse by preventing unwantedchildren; and yet, although it would beequally effective to end the lives ofthose infants most likely to sufferabuse, the law does not allow this onthe grounds that the infant, unlike thefetus, is a person. Again, abortion isoften proposed as the solution of choiceto pregnancies caused by rape or in¬cest; yet in the case of children born ofrape or incest, the law does not allowthat these be deprived of life, again be¬cause the child, unlike the fetus, is le¬gally human. Likewise, newborns arenot terminated, as fetuses are, becausetheir mothers are single or poor, sincethese disadvantages do not remove theinfant’s legal humanity. And, finally,although it is legal to abort the poten¬tially handicapped fetus, it is illegal toend the lives of the handicapped afterbirth, because, while the fetus lackslegal personhood, the deformed or re¬tarded baby does not. So, as compel¬ling as each of these reasons may be, VIEWPOINT 41the law recognizes that human life,even painful life, merits protection.But is the fetus human? The Roe andDoe decisions do not deal adequatelywith this question, focussing instead ona woman’s rights to choice and pri¬vacy. We have seen that in similarcases involving those already born,these rights, although extremely im¬portant, do not take precedence overanother person’s life. The Court comesclosest to defining the fetus when itspeaks of “the potentiality of humanlife,” but “potentiality” refers, afterall, only to what it will become, not towhat it is. If the fetus in the womb isnot human, then the Court’s emphasison freedom and privacy is correct, andthe “Pro-Choice” position is virtuallyunassailable. If the fetus is human,however, the Court’s decision is fatallyflawed, and the “Pro-Choice” positionis untenable. What then is the fetus?One possible answer, as we have al¬ready see, is that the fetus is part of awoman’s body, because it is connectedto her and dependent on her for life.But if it is a bodily part, it is substan¬tially unlike any other. First, from con¬ception onward, it possesses a uniquegenetic complement different from thewoman’s, and identical to the comple¬ment that would be possessed at allstages before and after birth. Further¬more, it undergoes differentiationguided by this genetic pattern, rapidlydeveloping nearly all of the innumera¬ble structures, functions, and organsystems possessed by a newborn human, at about eight weeks the recog¬nizable form of a human, at 12 weeksthe unique fingerprints of a human,and at about six months all the systemsof a viable human. In fact, if we com¬pare even a three-month-old fetus withan infant, we find that genetically andmorphologically, they possess farmore similarities than they do dif¬ferences; and at six months, the fetusis virtually identical to the infant, sothat it can only be called a part of thewoman’s body in the sense that it isconnected to her, and therefore depen¬dent on her for life (please see RobertGoodlin’s Care of the Fetus (1980) formore complete information).However, to return to the law, thefetus’ total dependence does not aloneestablish it as non-personal, since in¬fants, who are persons, also depend to¬tally on others for survival. And, in thelight of the fetus’ ever-increasingnumber of human attributes, the argu¬ment that its connection to the womanamounts to her ownership of it, and herright to dispose of it, possesses no com¬pelling force. Thus it is impossible tomaintain that the fetus is “merely” abodily part, and indeed virtually im¬possible to argue that it is a “part” atall, in the usual sense of the term.Therefore, if we are to argue that thefetus is a special instance of non-per-sonhood, we must have special rea¬sons; but the strongest special reasonis that if the fetus is brought to term, itsparticularly human qualities andneeds will deprive the mother of herThe Cl liberty. (One need only to compare asix-month-old baby to a six-month-oldpuppy to see that it is precisely the in¬fant’s humanity that makes care somuch more difficult.) Yet this amountsto defending abortion on the groundsthat the fetus is too human.What then is the fetus? Does it growmore and more human with develop¬ment, and fully human at birth? If a de¬velopmental definition is sought, thenbirth seems an especially arbitraryplace to draw the line, since there isvery little difference, developmental-ly, between a late-term fetus and anewborn baby. Also, if the develop¬mental logic is followed further, itbegins to cast doubt on the personhoodof other groups which do not possess arequisite degree of human develop¬ment or capacity — infants, the de¬formed, the retarded, and the senile,for instance. And if this logic is fol¬lowed to its conclusion, and our searchfor a perfectly developed human fails,we will be forced to conclude thathuman life never begins.These arguments may see speciousto some, but, given their premises,they are not. And we should note thatthe developmental premise for deter¬mining human value has been basical¬ly accepted, albeit uncritically, by thelegal and medical professions. Wemay, in this sort of informal forum,join Dr. Johnson and kick the stone torefute the proponents of radical doubt;but in courts of law, precise lines mustcontinued on page 10ago Maroon—Friday, November 18, 1983—7knoooooo6ooooooooofroo5c5" HILIELMCME NIGHT l§SATDRM(N(WM6CR 19Storb/rt 800r„HAIHo useL06oooooqoooooooqooooQin this order:THE FRISCO KIDMODERN PROBLEMSONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NESTa donation of $1.50 is requestedat Hillel House • 5715 5.

Yet both footbind¬ing and ballet emphasize a themewhich has been prevalent in westernand eastern cultures. Cultures havealways had their ideal of perfectbeauty for women. Unfortunately,this beauty often involves weaknessand fragility, or a lack of power. Thispowerlessness has forced women tobecome dependent on men, who havethen been able to subjugate women inpayment for protection.Footbinding and ballet are specificexamples of a culture identifyingbeauty as weakness. The ability torun away from a source of conflict is abasic concept of independence. It isthe physical expression of free will. Ifone’s feet are crippled, one’s mobilityand therefore the ability to protectoneself is seriously threatened. Thisimplies a dependence for protectionon another who is not damaged andhelpless. Two diverse concepts ofbeauty, the bound foot, and the foot‘en pointe' clearly demonstrate thatwomen, weakened by the quest to bebeautiful, are dominated and exploit¬ed by stronger forces in their cul¬ture.The Chinese tradition of footbindingbegan as a fashion around 950 A.D.At first, only the noble women boundtheir feet. During the centuries thatfollowed, women of all classes, includ¬ing factory workers and prostitutes,came to bind their feet or to havethem bound. As young girls, usuallyaround seven years old, the toes andballs of the feet were gradually bentunder with strips of wet cloth. Thecloth dried and then shrank, constrict¬ing the toes and ball into the arch ofthe foot. The process was repeateduntil the foot became permanentlybent under. The major benefit of bind¬ing was the gait it rendered women.The bound women now walked in agraceful, swaying manner, much likethe movement of the breeze-swayedbranches of a willow tree. To the Chin¬ese, a woman with a boyishly slim fig¬ure which leaned from side to sidewas the supreme ideal of beauty. Thisfashion/tradition lasted until the Chin¬ese government in the beginning of20th century outlawed the practiceforceable.Likewise, ballet has a long historyof idealized beauty. The dance offi¬cially began around 1660, when theAcademie Royale de Dance was es¬tablished in Paris. The danceflourished in the court of King LouisXIV, which gave it a much elevatedstatus as an art form. Pointed shoes,worn solely by women dancers, ori¬ginated somewhat later. Footwearfor ballerinas was originally a high-heeled slipper, which later becameflat. The actual hard-toed ballet shoeappeared early in the 19th centurywhen dancers began darning the tipsof their slippers to form hard plat¬forms. The tips of the shoes are nowmade of layers of plaster and satin,glued together. Professional bal¬lerinas have their shoes made toorder; even so, the shoe must be sof¬tened up, with a hard object such as awall or a hammer, before being worn.When a woman is up ‘en pointe’ theextra height lengthens the line of herbody because the break between thehorizontal foot and the vertical legdisappears. The greater height andlength of the body and leg causeseach movement and pose to be morebrilliant.Footbinding and ballet’s toe shoeshave many similar characteristicswhich demonstrate women’s depen¬dent and therefore inferior position intheir respective cultures. The dif¬ferent procedure to incarcerate thefoot for each is initiated at an earlyage. The young Chinese child had absolutely no choice respecting her foot’s future. Similiarly, young girlsin western culture are allowed to go‘en pointe’ after about six years oftraining. Dancing ‘en pointe’ is visiblereward for six or seven years hardwork. Because it is an honor, mostyoung dancers willingly do so. Theprocesses of binding one’s feet andputting them into toe shoes are com¬pletely unnatural: it follows that theyare extremely harmful to the bodyand feet. Bones are not made to bebent under and then walked on. Evenif one removes the bonds permanent¬ly, one can never walk properlyagain: the foot is mangled. Naturealso did not mean for all the weight ofa human body to be put on two toesand then danced on. When one is firstput ‘en pointe’, the toes bleed, thefeet swell, the toenails ache, and thepain is said to be “excruciating.” Itcan take months for protective cal¬louses to form. Even seasoned bal¬lerinas have problems with their feet.Says Cynthia Harvey, a principaldancer with American Ballet Theatre,“on days when you have long re¬hearsals and performances, evenyour toenails feel bruised. At night,you can’t stand the sheet on yourtoes.” (As quoted in Cosmopolitan,August 1983)This wMlingness to endure pain forthe sake of beauty cements a woman's inferior role in her culture.In China, before the 20th century,women were little better than chat¬tels. The nickname for girls was “ya-t’ou,” or slave girl, and was used aswe would use the term “daughter”.Conditions did not improve much aftermarriage. A young married womancould legally be beaten by her hus¬band’s family. “It (brutal treatmentof women) assumes all varieties offorms, from incessant scolding up tothe most cruel treatment. If it is car¬ried to an extreme pitch, the woman’sfamily will interfere, not legally, forthat they can not do, but by bruteforce.” (The Village Life in China,Alfred Smith, page 277) What keptthese women tied to this sort of life?A Dominican missionary, Friar Navar-rete, explains, “The custom of swaith-ing Women’s Feet is very good forkeeping Females at Home.” (The Chin¬ese Chameleon, Raymond Dawson,page 187) How Chinese women fellinto this situation of slavery is unk¬nown, but footbinding, a fashion in¬troduced for the purposes of beauty,kept them there.In ballet, the subjugation is moresubtle; women are not physicallyabused on stage. Like all women inwestern culture, ballerinas on stagehave a certain role to fulfill. Ballet,being a beautiful and gracious art form, shows an understanding of thebasis of women’s degradation, depen¬dence, but chooses to ignore the rami¬fications of being a completely depen¬dent woman. Again, ballet presentswomen with an ideal of beauty, whichwomen strive to achieve, even whiledamaging and weakening crucialparts of their bodies. The visual per¬fection and emotional appeal is unde¬niable when a thin, fragile figurefloats across the stage and is lifted byher partner to a striking pose. With¬out the toe shoes and the man,though, the ballerina cannot strikeher most stunning pose; she is depen¬dent on pain and on men to reach theideal. But what ballet ignores, andwhen the handsome young princesaves the beautiful damsel in dis¬tress, is the sad fact that the damsel isnow dependent on the prince for phys¬ical and economic protection. Long be¬fore ballet existed, customs weremade which reinforced dependence asa desirable condition for women. Mentook advantage and discriminatedagainst women in politics, economics,and religion. That is not to say Charle¬magne or King John saw Cinderellaperformed by the Chicago City Ballet;and then raced back to France or Eng¬land to write laws that would discrim¬inate against women. Ballet is only areflection of western culture. It playsback, in a purer form, what culturefeeds it.One might argue it ridiculous tocompare the Chinese fashion of foot¬binding and the woman’s role in bal¬let to prove a larger point. Almost ailChinese women were bound whileonly a tiny percentage of any westernpopulation dances on toe shoes. Buton closer examination, one realizesonly a privileged few had their feetbound in the early days of footbind¬ing. It took many centuries for thepractice to spread. Ballet has recentlyseen an incredible rise in popularity.Every year thousands of young chil¬dren join the ranks of hopeful bal¬lerinas. Another objection might beraised whether one should comparefashion and art at all. One should.They both reflect their culture’s val¬ues and views. It is dangerous to dis¬miss or allow sexism in art while at¬tacking it in fashion, just because artis a higher form of expression.Even considering the difficulty (be¬fore 1911) of outlawing footbinding,and the recent gain in popularity ofballet, a revolution of sorts againstpainful ideals of beauty has occurred.Many Chinese leaders, long beforethe influx of Europeans, tried to out¬law footbinding. All failed. When a“progressive” government gainedpower in the beginning of the 20thcentury, the tradition finally died andwomen took on a different position inChinese society. Ballet too witnessedrevolution in the beginning of the20th century. Isadora Duncan andMartha Graham, among many others,in a rather savage anti-ballet revolt,rejected toe shoes, tight fitting cos¬tumes, and above all, the ideal ofwomen’s fragility. The resulting formis modern dance. These men andwomen of the new genre slammedabout in bare feet and long robes,testing their own endurance andstrength. 20th century women inwestern culture, having questionedthe ideal of feminine beauty, havechanged somewhat their place in soci¬ety.Culture has for centuries cementedthe inferior position of women bypresenting them with an ideal ofbeauty which they can obtain onlythrough physical pain and weakness.Women, by refusing to ruin theirbodies for the sake of beauty, canchange the culture’s idea of a beauti¬ful female from one that is powerlessand therefore defenseless, t6 one whois capable and strong. With a certainphysical independence, women canknow their potential strenQth and useit to carve out a better place for them¬selves in society.PAIN OF BEAUTYBEAUTY OF PAINDOC FILMS • DOC FILMS • DOC FILMS • DOC FILMS • DOC FILMS • DOCSUNDAY:Fritz Lang’sSIEGFRIEDandKRIEMHILD’S REVENGEat 7 p.m.All Shows in Cobb Hall, 5811 S.

True to observed preferences,the 18 older and more recognizedartists picked a thoroughly eclecticand energetic bunch. And one ob¬serves in the show as a whole the si¬multaneous unity and diversity ofthe older artists’ styles. Of coursethe quality is uneven, but only a fewoffend. Anyway, there is a biggerproblem: specific recommendationsremain anonymous. The reason forthis, according to Robert Hutchison,director, is that many of the chosenare students (apparently at theSAIC) and were picked by theirteachers. Anonymity is thought toreduce the likelihood of enmity be¬tween selecting and exhibiting ar¬tists and their unchosen stu¬dents/classmates. This doesn’t makemuch sense: those in a position tofeel hurt are also in a position toknow who left them out; teachersare expected not only to have pref¬erences but also to be able to defendthem. Further, it detracts from theshow’s appeal: for instance, threeworks by George Kitta are not at alluninteresting, but would be evenless so if one knew he had been cho¬sen by, say, Roger Brown or EdPaschke or Frank Piatek, any ofwhom might be seen as a stylistic in¬fluence. Certainly it would be inter¬esting to know who picked StevenHalvorsen, one of the offenders. Inshort, similarities and differencesbetween known and mature and newand observed sensibilities need spe¬cific elaboration in order to becomeinteresting. Finally, one wonders ifthere might be some other reasonfor this anonymity. Hutchison volun¬teered the information that DonBaum did not pick his daughter,Maria, ostensibly because the twoare listed side by side in the alpha¬betical lists on the show’s announce¬ment. But Hutchison would neitherconfirm nor deny that Roger Brownhad chosen his brother, Greg; orPaul LaMantia his wife, Rene Koller.I wouldn't care if they had, though itmight change my opinion of eitherBrown or LaMantia to know this forsure. The suspicion that they did isaided by the lack of a denial, whichmakes the whole thing seem lessthan completely honest. Thru Dec 17at the Hyde Park Art Center, 1701 E53rd.

Still, the two senses are verydifferent, and present this problem;assuming the primacy of a roman¬tic/expressive conception of artthroughout, what have blurrystreets to do with straight clouds?Doesn’t the character of individualsubjectivity get redefined to themore “objective,” in accordancewith what was perceived to be oneof the medium’s inherent charac¬teristics, its fidelity to “nature ”?Thru Jan 3 at the Art Institute, Mi¬chigan at Adams.

Seldom are so many variousstyles affected in so short a space.Most prominently, Erwitt adopts theclothes of a street photographer inthe Henri Cartier-Bresson mode; forinstance, Scratchers, Kyoto, Japan,1977 shows a woman and a dog en¬gaged in the activity, oblivious tothe camera. Departures are of twomain sorts. One is an attempt at themagestic, as in the American artphotography of nature: verticalsconverge; clouds billow. The other isan attempt at the more strictly “doc¬umentary,” as in Cats <S Dogs, Ala¬bama, USA, 1975. This shows in itsvertical space two doors, one la¬beled “Entrance Cats,” the other,“Entrance Dogs.” But the appear¬ance of the side of the building givesno clue whether this is an animal clin¬ic or a Southern version of a RushStreet bar. Finally, and as a devel¬opment of this “documentary asart” approach, a series of three stu¬dio portraits, which look like the“typicality” of Norman Rockwellcrossed with the “flair” of Avedon.These are crass. In conjunction withthe complete lack of any other con¬sistent sensibility they point out Er-witt's vacancy.

Similarly, HannahDresner's paintings/drawings, prob¬ably studies for her large oil paint¬ings (unfortunately, not included inthis show) disappoint. Her imagesand style which work well in her larger works are less expressive inthese reduced versions. In the largerpaintings her figures and shapes re¬main ambiguous, whereas in thesmaller works they are renderedmore specifically — in the former, acyclone shape whirls above theimage of a woman/landscapestretched across the bottom, in thesketches the cyclone becomes a malerunning in a dancer-like fashion andthe figure below remains a womanrather than a possible landscape.These differences alter her state¬ment drastically. Her larger worksare strong, expansive expressions;her smaller works are a bit con¬trived and cramped.Susan Zurcher’s sculpture installa¬tion in the back room finally makethe trip upstairs worth the effort.

I mean, I took a lot ofSteve’s advice to heart. I quit buyingMarlboro's in favor of Camel’s. Ishunned my California background andaffected a New York upbringing. I trad¬ed in Born to Pun for obscure 12’’ DiscoSingles. In short, I attempted, throughSteve Diamond, to attain a measure ofhis elusive “cool” that might make myChicago days a little more palatable.Why am I disillusioned? The sourceoccurs (and this is the bitter and ironicpart) in the last paragraph in the lastarticle by the “cool” Steve Diamond. Itreads simply, “It seems that I am actu¬ ally going to graduate after 3 and athird years at this University.” 3 and athird years! Pursuing, cultivating, per¬fecting “cool” is pretty much a full-timejob and to be a student at the same timemeans one of the two must go. Obvious¬ly Steve has been feeding me shit forthe last two years! While I thought hewas burrowing through the records atWax Tracks on my behalf he was actual¬ly taking common core biology serious¬ly. While I thought he was surveyingthe scene at neo he was probably mi¬grating from Regenstein to the law li¬brary to cash in on those two extra Fri¬day night hours of studying.I know one thing for sure: incompletesare still cool! One cannot give up a pur¬suit because one’s mentor has beenproven a fraud. Anyone wanna buy aBoy George T-shirt?Chris Warshaw5th yearSfeve Diamond replies: You should seemy G.P.A..by Patricia LangleyFrancis Coppola’s Rumblefish is a filmthat has had very mixed reviews fromcritics and moviegoers alike. But, I likethis film; I like it more than most films I’veseen in the past several years. I like any¬thing that attempts to be more than typi¬cal Hollywood fare. It doesn’t matter if thefilm fails in part, as this one does. Failureis not a crime — lack of courage to strivefor better things is. Francis Coppola isn’tlacking in courage or failure. He has takenstylistic and artistic chances with Rumble-fish that will pay off only in the kudos ofthe more astute critics, and in his own per¬sonal satisfaction. Few films have stimu¬lated as much response from me to theirstyle, structure and content.The most immediately visible departurefrom the norm is the use of black-and-white film. It doubles the dramatic impactof color, while allowing far more artistryin the technique of ‘‘light and shadows.”Just as important, it strips the film of thefalse sense of realism that color typicallyinduces, as well as color's visual and emo¬tional distractions. (Coppola used similarlighting techniques in The Conversation,but in color, with much less effect.) Theworld on the big screen is not the realworld. Whether science fiction fantasy ormelodrama, it is a structured reality. Cop¬pola distances the audience and makes usaware of technique and contrivance, justas Brecht did in the theater. The expres¬sionist touches in lighting, camera anglesand movements, not only add to visual in¬terest, but aid in keeping the viewer thatone essential step away from realism.The style and structure of the film arequasi-theatrical. It’s a comic strip in black-and-white. filled with characters who rep¬resent roles, qualities or functions ratherthan real people. Coppola deliberatelyleaves characters underdeveloped; andthe starkness of black-and-white facili¬tates this depersonalization. There is theLiving Legend, a leading character calledsimply The Motorcycle Boy, because hehas no first name — only a brooding pre¬sence. The other leading character, hisyounger brother and heir apparent to the Living Legend mantle, is the Troubled Ad¬olescent, just begging to have the mask ofinnocent delusions ripped from him. He’snever called by anything less than twofirst names — Rusty James, making himsound like a character straight out ofO’Henry. There’s a whole cast of charac¬ters who can be described by function —The Commentator, The Instigator, The Op¬pressor, The Prodigal Father, The Traitor,The Nerd. You name it.Another obvious theatrical element isdemonstrated by highly distinguishablescene changes in the form of lapsed-timesequences that use expressionist shots ofchanging shadows, dusk falling, movingclouds. At one point it takes the form of amonologue by the pool-room owner (TheCommentator) that is reminiscent of TheStage Manager in Our Town, only in jive80's fashion with a rock underscore. Afight between Rusty James and a rivalearly in the film has the stylized, chorea-graphed look of the stage.But Rumblefish was never meant to betaken at face value. The film signals thisright away. The opening sequence of sur¬realistic billowing clouds clearly an¬nounces that we’re entering a “twilightzone.” Voice-over commentaries andflashbacks add to the sense of being in“Anywhereville, U.S.A.” The story is bothan evocation of an era remembered as ayoung boy wanted it to be, and a carica¬ture of its reality. Greasers, hoods andgangs reigned supreme (or as a recurringsignpost in the film tells us, “The Motor¬cycle Boy Reigns”). This work is full ofmetaphors for the universal “time of inno¬cence.” You knew your place, your missionin life, and you took out your enemy by thesimplest means, usually physical and vio¬lent.Unfortunately for the two major charac¬ters, the enemy is within. For The Motor¬cycle boy it's a malaise of mind and spirit,a stillbirth of the will that takes such a tollon his vitality that he can’t decide what todo with even the next minute of his life. Itseems that he’s only a motivating pre¬sence for others — in some scenes he istalked about in the third person as if hewere not there. He hears other people's voice at a distance; even his own speechtrails off into reverberating voice-over,as if to further blur the line between hisinner world and the real outer world.Rusty James’ enemy is a Walter Mitty-like fantasy in which he waits unendinglyfor his real life to begin — that is, to be¬come his big brother. As long as the mythof The Motorcycle Boy reigns, Rusty Jamesis a captive, just as much as the rumblefishin the local pet store that fascinate hisolder brother.Most of the actors in Rumblefish areyoung; but the performances are sojid.There is more control and maturity in MattDillon’s portrayal of this callow toughiethan in his previous roles. But he has along way to go. There are also some un¬avoidable suggestions of early Brando inMickey Rourke’s Motorcyle Boy. DennisHopper’s performance, on the other hand,leaves much to be desired. He’s light¬weight and jarring. He never manages tostrike the right note; and scenes with himdon’t seem to belong to the same film.Hopper’s bad acting aside, there are im¬portant values advanced in this film.They’re oversimplified, but that doesn’tnegate their value. Rumblefish deliversits message in the simple, direct symbol¬ism of the cged rumblefish in a pet store,(the only color used in the film is for thesefish). We have to free ourselves of small worlds, small minds and small ideas, toescape the inner rot that comes from inde¬cision and thwarted growth, and, as thefilm tells us, to take the river “that goesall the way to the ocean.” If we’re notcaged, we won’t fight and waste our vita¬lity in useless violence against ourselvesand others. We have to live our own lives,unlike Rusty James, who thinks of The Mo¬torcycle Boy as his self-to-be, until he’sfreed from the Legend.This work has a clarity that is missingfrom so many muddy, muddled, quasi-psy-chological melodramas that Hollywoodgrinds out. There is a charm in the was thisfilm doesn’t take itself too seriously, withmoments of humor and whimsey that un¬dercut any tendency to pretentiousness.Unfortunately, there are key linesthrown in near the end of the film that an¬nounce in boldface the philosophy of theauthor. This dilutes the basic visual andsymbolic strength of the film. Some sceneslack logical or dramatic connections withthe rest of the story, or are too improvisa-tional. Rumblefish doesn’t slide down yourthroat like over-processed junk food. Itforces you to respond to what is happen¬ing on the screen in front of you. This in¬teraction is the main pleasure of the film— it’s what more American films could do.I’m glad Francis Coppola continues tostrive.After 18 years...WE’VE LOSTOUR LEASE!LET OUR LOSS BE YOUR GAIN!All books are on sale:20% OFF after $5.00 purchasewith many books as much as50% OFFIncluding selections from:•Fiction ‘Science Fiction ‘Non-Fiction‘Poetry ‘Childrens Books‘Reference Titles ‘History ‘Philosophy‘PsychologyThe BOOK CENTER5211 S.

Ellis exposes in his newbook of that name.The Grimms' tales, cherishedin the world of children's litera¬ture, have also been reveredas pioneer efforts in folkloreresearch. The Grimms declaredthem to be authentic folktalespresented in the very words ofthe simple German peasantsfrom whom the brothers hadheard them.Ellis details the evidence notonly that the Grimms embroi¬dered, altered, and added to thetales throughout seven editionsbut that the material came tothem originally from literate,middle-class-and, in one case,even French-sources.Ellis does not claim to be mak¬ing any momentous discovery.Most of the evidence for theGrimms' deception has beenavailable since at least 1924. Heis concerned to investigate whythere has been a discreetscholarly veil drawn over thefacts: why, for instance, JamesMacpherson should so swiftlyhave been discredited for hisOssian forgery, while theGrimms have remained immunefrom criticism.Throughout the book, quota¬tions from German sources aregiven in both German and Englishas are the variant texts of The FrogPrince, Sleeping Beauty, andHansel and Gretel as theyappeared in the first edition ofthe tales and in later, reworkedversions.pOnerairy^tory- ^tooManyThe Brothers Grimmand Their TalesJOHN M.

Empty words are all that re¬main of his once all-encompassing, all-con¬suming dream. His vision, his honesty, histalent are not enough. No one wants to seea film about “homos”, and even the gaysdon’t like his films — they don’t show gaypeople in a positive light. He is caught be¬tween a rock and hard place. He mustdrastically alter his vision, or despair of ittotally.Robi is the protagonist of a new Israelifilm, Drifting, screened last weekend atthe 19th Chicago International Film Festi¬val. His dilemma was very much that ofthe actual director of the film, Amos Gut¬man. For that matter, it is not dissimilar tothat of any contemporary filmmakerwhose work either centrally or peri¬pherally touches on some aspect of gaylife or culture.A film meeting those qualificationsenters the elusive (if even extant) genreof “gay film,” and becomes automaticallysubject to the demanding and often radi¬cally diverse expectations of the gay com¬munity, the mainstream film-going audi¬ence, and the film industry itself.Gay audiences for gay films are particu¬lar. They seek correct politics — filmswhich will show the world that two gaymen or lesbians can be just as humdrumand run-of-the-mill as any made-for-t.v.movie characters. But face it, plastic char¬acters are boring, regardless of their sex¬uality. The gay community’s concern is le¬gitimate, though. The gay character isseen as representative of his or her com¬munity as a whole, much as were blackcharacters in the sixties and early seven¬ties. The response on the part of film¬makers now as then, is often to createsqueaky-clean characterizations which re¬flect, accurately or not, a totally positiveview of the minority culture in question.Remember Sidney Poitier films of the six¬ties? That “gee whiz we’re just like every¬body else” message is communicatedequally strongly in this year’s film festi¬val’s A Love Like Any Other, written anddirected by West Germans Hans Stempeland Martin Ripkens. A romantic comedy, itpresents universal questions of being acouple. In the process, the film goes out of its way to point out that gays must con¬front the same issues as straight people,and that being gay is rather an extrane¬ous detail in this context.Box office sales have demonstrated thatthe general public will react positively toa certain subclass of “gay film.” Oftenthese entail non-threatening characters,e.g. women or transvestites, and plots towhich gay issues are seemingly tangen¬tial. Examples are Victor/Victoria (it’s notabout homosexuality, it’s about show biz),Personal Best (it’s not about homosexua¬lity, it’s about running), La Cage auxFolles, et al. Another element in thesefilms is the comforting resolution in each,in which the characters which have wonthe audience’s empathy live happily (readheterosexuality) ever after. For all itslaudable consciousness-raising, Victor/Vic¬toria still has James Garner pairing offwith Julie Andrews at the end, and notwith Robert Preston. In Personal Best,Mariel Hemingway manages to get herman as well.This year’s film festival includes someseven “gay films” in its corpus of newforeign and domestic works, showing thatthere is, somewhere out there, a demandfor serious gay cinema. These films areoften hard-hitting and intellectually chal¬lenging, sometimes violent, always sanstinsel. The festival audience is commonlyreferred to in the industry as the “artmarket.” It tends to be more critical, yetmore open-minded toward films less acces¬sible to general public tastes. A film effortreceives the attention (or lack of atten¬tion) it deserves, regardless of the direc¬tor’s and/or characters’ sexual orienta¬tion.The art market alone, though, is notlarge or financially influential enough tosustain the large scale production of filmswhich are not ready for mass consumption.Directors also don’t want to limit them¬selves to a small sector of the public.But strong films, such as this year’s TheWounded Man, directed by PatriceChereau, about two men involved in asado-masochistic relationship, simply willnot fly with mainstream audiences, atleast according to panelists at last week’s“Recent Gay Visions” workshop, spon¬sored by the Lesbian and Gay AcademicUnion to complement the film festival.TAMING OF THE MUSICALby Gregory WaltersA good musical comedy should be a re¬freshing experience. It should have anumber of memorable songs, a plausibleromance and a set of actors who, throughcareful control of their timing and ges¬tures, radiate a feeling of light pleasure totheir audience.Viewed on its musical merits alone, KissMe Kate (with music by Cole Porter) hasthe potential to be such a musical. Theshow features some of Cole Porter’s mostmemorable songs, “Another Op’nin, An¬other Show,” “So in Love am I” and, ofcourse, the title song, “Kiss Me Kate.” Ifthese songs are played correctly and withexpression, they alone would make for ajoyous evening. Kiss Me Kate would thenseem to be a sure winner — why then didthe Blackfriars production of Kiss Me Katefail to satisfy?Certainly it was not due to any lack ofenergy in the cast. Everyone, from thelead players down to the chorus membersperformed exuberantly and with pride;reflecting, no doubt, the substantial ef¬forts that must have gone into this prod¬uction.The problem lies partly in how this driveand energy were used. Most noticeably,the timing of the actors in the first act wasmuch too fast. The main culprit was thelead actor, Owen Hagino, whose perfor¬mance of Fred Graham had a nervous,rushed quality to it that was especially no¬ticeable in some of the crucial romanticscenes. He threw off the momentum of theother actors, who, after a while, seemed tobe competing with him for creating fren¬zied performances.All of this rushing about by the actorsunfortunately neglected the audience, whowere not given the means nor the time tobecome emotionally involved in any of theromantic goings-on among the principlecharacters. Viewed from this perspective,the Blackfriar’s production of Kiss MeKate distinctively resembled the recklessenergy and emotional emptiness of vaude¬ville.By the second act the timing of the actorshad slowed down to the point where the di¬alogue and physical humor had a chance towork, although any sort of romance onstage was beyond consideration.One wished that the performers in gen¬eral hadn’t worked so hard to please.They were gifted with a sense of spontane¬ity that would have made the dialogue a little more fresh and digestible, instead ofsmelling of sweat.In contrast to the above criticisms therewere good things happening that evening,although not many. The one standout per¬former in Kiss Me Kate is Leslie Lepeska inthe title role of Katherine. Her presenceand performance suggested elegance,glamour and grace; qualities which are atthe heart of enjoyable musical comedy.Her vibrant, dignified charm stood indirect contrast to the rough slapstickhumor and “hamming it up” which unfor¬tunately constituted the bulk of the eve¬ning’s activities. Ms. Lepeska is every¬thing that the current Blackfriars shouldTRAGEDY OFby Rainer MackHad you ventured by the Blue Gargoylea few weeks ago, you could have seenwhat is being touted as the nation's firstplay about AIDS. An inviting new direc¬tion in the effort to make the public awareof Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome,Jeff Hagedorn’s play One recounts the ex¬periences and fears of a homosexual manfallen ill to the deadly disease. The play isa 35-minute monologue performed by CarlForsberg, and it’s unique interest, and ul¬timate political efficacy, lies in its combi¬nation of artistic simplicity and an over¬whelming honesty.The presentation of One is extremely in¬formal — taking the form more of an in¬timate conversation than a staged piece.Forsberg, dressed in unassuming streetclothes, simply walks to the stage, sitsdown, and starts talking. It is with a par¬ticular sensitivity that he enchants the au¬dience into forgetting the fiction of theplay. His air of open warmth and an en¬gaging sense of honest, if at times simplis¬tic, soul-searching lend the play a realitythat is unnerving. Of course, both thedrama of the subject and the use of themonologue form anticipate this realism,but it is Forsberg’s characterization thatsolidifies it.Faced with this provoking transforma¬tion of the unnamed character into a realperson, it is easy to see the political po¬tency of the play. As Forsberg tells us ofhis fears and reactions, albeit by now con- A Love Like Any OtherMale/male contact of a physical nature is,shall we say, distressing to the movie¬going public. This is not true of female/fe¬male contact to the same extent. A nichewas created in the world of hetrosexualmale erotica for contact between women,of course ultimately for the pleasure ofthe straight male viewer. It seems clearwhat sector of our society determinesstandards of acceptability.Besides the public’s discomfort, the filmindustry itself exercises its own kind ofcensorship. In doling out ratings it deter¬mines the distribution of a film, dictatingwhat audiences will and will not see it, andin some cases signalling the film’s commer¬cial success or failure. Films with gay sub¬ject matter or same-sex contact often re¬ceive more restrictive ratings.In all, though the impetus is there on the part of filmmakers and a limited audienceto make and view films with gay themes,the continuing success of these films hingeson eventual public acceptance of gay/les¬bian related material without the need torender it harmless by means of schtick oralternative focus. Though it may be com¬ing, that time hasn’t arrived.The Israeli director, Gutman, is nearingcompletion of his second feature-lengthfilm. The basis of this film is again his ownemotions and experiences, but this timethose emotions and experiences are incor¬porated into a plot utilizing almost exclu¬sively straight characters. Why? Becausehe wants his films to be seen. This is thechoice before all gay film makers today:filming their vision for a small art market,or modifying it for the sake of wide dis¬tribution and general box office success.strive toward. Minor actors and actressesof note include Miriam Gamoran whobrought a warm, earthy charm to her char¬acter Hattie, and Matthew Matuszak whowas consistently funny.The one area in which this productionfailed absolutely is the music, specificallythe orchestra. The sounds they generatedwith their instruments killed pleasure.These musicians were ill-prepared;throughout the production they were oftenoff-key, off-beat and frequently atonal.What notes they managed to play correct¬ly they did so in the most timid, most an¬noying manner possible. They were a musi¬cal cancer on whatever comedy the actorswere able to sweat out. Only Wendy Linperformed coherently, if without theverve and panache that the music de¬mands., The actors and audience received an unfair beating at the hands of thesefew musicians.The backdrops to all of this mayhem andmusic, the sets, were minimal, actuallyquite sparse. Some were tacky. Others justseemed that way. But given the amountbudgeted by the SGFC, I guess the Black¬friars did the best they could.Although the sets were more or lessklinkers, there were some nice, thoughtfultouches with the costumes: long red ties onthe enamored males, Flashdance - tee-styles on the femmes fatals.This production failed as a piece of musi¬cal comedy. I sincerely hope that ourBlackfriars can do better. Perhaps the mu¬sical comedy is not the theatrical style bestsuited to the temperaments of U of C stu¬dent actors. At any rate, I left the theaterthat night in need of rest and relaxation.A SICK MANventionalized, to the knowledge of hisown impending death, we immediatelysympathize with him and understand thesignificance of his disease. When he de¬tails the generally disheartening experi¬ences he has with friends and family asthey learn of his illness, we are rightly ou¬traged at the insensitivity and prejudicethat dominate their attitudes. Forsberg,his identity as a homosexual with AIDS,and they myriad characters of his environ¬ment, cease to be academic fictionaliza-tion, and become real parts of our own en¬vironment. At the end of the play, weleave Forsberg as if we are leaving afriend — there is an undeniable feeling ofthe direct relevance of his story.It is important that this transformationof feeling is not limited to the realm of theaudience. Forsberg begins his monologueby saying: “I have acquired a disease thatmeans I am going to die.” And after avaried account of what he has gonethrough since learning of his contraction ofAIDS, he ends by saying that this diseasemeans he will “probably” die. Though for¬mally clumsy in its lack of subtlety, thischange is an important element in the po¬litical competence of the play. It forces theaudience, already convinced as to the“reality” of the character, to view him assomething approaching a martyred hero.He becomes a strong and willful individualunfairly victimized by his illness. Addingto this is the absence of any reference tothe illness by name — it is left simply as the “disease,” or the “sickness.” This in¬troduces a sense of the unknown, the mys¬terious, and heightens our cultivated fearof the power of AIDS.It is unfortunate that One must sacrificean artistic complexity in order to fulfill itslargely political purpose. It presents anumber of intriguing possibilities, but cannot indulge in the poetic subtlety, or so¬phistication, that would be required tocomplete them. There is a sense that Hage-dorn is bastardizing the formalistic de¬vices he employs in constructing One, yetthat would be to deny the play’s predo¬minantly non-artistic intent. For instance,while Hagedorn seems to understand theessential feelings of a person faced withhis own death, he fails to voice a poeticstatement of the complexity of those feel¬ings. He is restricted to an alarmingnumber of cliched references that workonly to create the desired realism of thecharacter in a readily obvious and expedi¬ent manner. A clear example of this iswhen Forsberg exhibits a very conven¬tionalized denial of his fatal illness. Hesays simply, “Sometimes I think it’s allsome kind of lie...a hoax.” There is no fur¬ther discussion on his denial, but rather abarrage against the idea that AIDS is“God’s punishment” for being homosex¬ual. Certainly this is important and neces¬sary for the play’s intent, but it leaves onesomewhat unsatisfied with the scantytreatment given Forsberg’s depth of feel¬ing.Despite this artistic simplicity, or ratherpartly due to it, Hagedorn’s One is invitingin its unique and effective approach topublic enlightenment. It strikes one withan enchanting sincerity that makes it diffi¬cult to deny its message.THE GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18. 1983-7IUNTITLEDA prayeris a seed.ft is a truthyou are convicted ofinside.A prayeris when you say,‘I’ll have bright sunflower strength!”and you pull it from the sky, little by little.It is a beginning, a permissionto build your heart a garden.

What about the level of education?There’s an extremely high dropoutrate among Hispanics. What are thecauses, what are the remedies ofthat?A. Well I think that you’re accurate inpointing out that that’s a serious prob¬lem in our community, although I thinkthat we’ve made great strides in termsof advancement in this area. I think ifyou look at the Hispanic family, you’llfind that there is an impetus there forachieving high educational...stan¬dards. Unfortunately, many of us arerelegated to inferior schools...You findthat we go to schools that do not havethe resources to afford us training inthe sciences and technology. You havean environment that is strange, alien toour children, and consequently they’renot able to assimilate and participatefully...You also have a situation some¬times where the background at home,because of the sociological conditions,is less than desirable. Children are notable to learn (in) those situations. Allof this is part of the problem along withracism, not being allowed to enter col¬leges because there is not sufficient fi¬nancial aid...But in terms of educationI’m really optimistic that we are mak¬ing substantial progress.Q. How successful is bilingual educa¬tion?A. Bilingual education has survivedunder very serious threats of the Rea¬gan administration. The first axingthat Reagan did when he came to officewas to freeze the regulations on bilin¬gual education that were being pro¬posed at that time that would have al¬lowed for an expansion of bilingualeducation...Bilingual education hasbeen struggling to survive, it’s been at¬tacked at the state level, the federallevel, the local level. But in the mainyou find that bilingual education hasallowed our children to be able to par¬ticipate in the regular classroom. Inmy case, for example, when I beganschool, I didn’t know any English. Sowhat they did with me is they stuck mein a class with the mentally retardedand I was there for over two years. I’mone of the lucky ones. I was able todemonstrate that I wasn’t as retardedas they had classified me and was ableto overcome those barriers, but italways gave me a complex and I wasalways behind. It was simply because Ididn’t know English. With bilingual ed¬ucation we’ve been able to, at least atthat level, eradicate those mistakesfrom occurring as frequently.Q. How united is the Hispanic commu¬nity?A. Relatively speaking pretty united?We’ve come together on issues. For ex¬ample, if there’s an issue of bilingualeducation, Puertoricans, Mexicansand Cubans will all be together. Butwe’re not united when it comes to polit¬ical empowerment of our communi¬ties. Certain issues — for example,with the campaign of Harold Washing¬ton, there seemed to be a lot of unityinasmuch as the Hispanic community,for the first time, I think, came out inlarge numbers, high percentages, infavor of one mayoral candidate. Thatto me is progress.Q. What about the possibility of aBlack-Hispanic alliance?A. Of course I’m an advocate of Black-Latino unity, I’ve been an advocate ofthat for many, many years. I think thatthere’s a lot of promise in it...It wasonly with the help of the Black Con¬gressional Caucus that we were able todefeat the Simpson-Mazolli Bill lastyear and this year of course it had alarge impact...There has to be mutualrespect.. For Hispanics, Black-Latinounity is really like an experiment and...there has to be something posi¬tive coming from that sort of coalition.For example with respect to the Wash¬ington administration... Hispanicswant to see: what does it means for us?Positively, in tangible ways, how didwe gain in political power? How did wegain in political representation? Howdid we gain in cabinet positions, in mid¬dle management positions, in top man¬agement positions, in the employmentforce in the city? We want to seethat...And unless they see that up here,people are going to become disillu¬sioned with the whole concept of Black-Latino unity and it’s going to be hardfor us, that have been long-time advo¬cates of it, to sell it.Q. Are you seeing any answers to thosequestions yet? Or is it too early totell?A. Not really. Well, it’s too early to tell,but unfortunately progress is tooslow.Q. Why is that?A. You have a situation in Chicago, forexample, where the mayor’s just tak¬ing too long in terms of meeting hiscommitments to our community.That’s creating real problems in termsof his support in the Hispanic commu¬nity. (He’s) losing his support day today...Six months have gone by...He’sputting the Hispanic community inEddie Vrdolyak’s lap. W’e will need totalk more in the future about a coali¬tion of common interests. If there’sgoing to be a coalition, we have to bemore mature politically, to recognizethat everything’s going to be in writ¬ing...Why does the mayor have to waitsix months to appoint an Hispanic tohis cabinet? It just does not make anysense...Q. Is there a serious attempt to registerHispanic voters?A. Yes there is. We are now launchinga major campaign to register 10,000new Hispanic voters by the March pri¬mary.Q. Getting back to the immigrationissue for a minute, what is the relation¬ship between the INS and major em¬ployers of undocumented workers? Isthere some sort of cooperation?A. In the last few years they’ve imple¬mented the program called OperationCooperation...There’s no law at thepresent time...that makes it illegal foran employer to hire an undocumentedworker. There’s no such law. (Immi¬gration) generally threatens the em¬ployers with raids...with possible crim¬inal violations, and they persuademany employers to cooperate withthem, thereby giving them all the listsof their employees. The ImmigrationService then verifies a few ofthem...and then they go in and conductthe raids...The employer cooperateswith the service to identify aliens...Q. Do employers use this to avoid pay¬ing wages?A. They do that. I’ve seen this many,many times, where employees areabout to take advantage of their vaca¬tion time, where they are involved in aunion organizing drive, where there’sgoing to be an election to certify aunion. What does the employer do? Hecalls the Immigration Service right be¬fore the election.Q. So there are a lot of intimidation tac¬tics to prevent organizing?A. That’s done a lot by the ImmigrationService at the request of the employ¬ers.Q. What have, in the past, been themost successful political strategies byHispanics and what should be used inthe future?A. No one’s going to give us anythingfor nothing in terms of our community.No one is going to give us progress ex¬cept ourselves. And I think there’s thatrealization in our comm unity... Yes, wemay help a Black mayor get elected tothe city of Chicago, yes, we may evencontribute to the election of a presi¬dent. But we have to get down to takingcare of our own business. That meansit’s us that (have) to do it. With thatcomes a recognition that we have toelect our own people to positions of im¬portance so that they can be like awatchdog for our community...We’ll beworking...with coalitions that have thesame interests as ours as well as mak¬ing sure that we elect our own to impor¬tant positions, so that we can be in¬volved in decisions that affect ourlives. Profcontinued from page oneimpact on me,” he said. “It was obvi¬ous that great social destruction wasgoing on in the cities, and that the prob¬lems could not be solved without pro¬gressing in their racial dimensions.But there was almost no political willto do that.”Orfield attributes the intensity ofChicago’s racial problems to tradition¬al opposition of the city political ma¬chine to federal and state attempts atcivil rights enforcement. “Chicago wasable, because of the power of the politi¬cal machine, to block any significantfederal enforcement for a whole gener¬ation.”Orfield said the Chicago city govern¬ment began “building ghettos” on alarge scale during World War II, andhas continued ever since. Ghettoization“has a tremendous underlying dynam¬ic. Even if racial discriminationstopped today it would continue tospread unless there was powerful in¬tervention against it.”One particularly acute symptom ofghettoization in the city is widespreadschool segregation. Chicago cityschools today are, by some estimates,over 85 percent black and Hispanic.“The experience the typical blackchild has,” Orfield said, “is simply notcomparable with that of the typicalwhite child. The typical black child inChicago is enrolled in a school morethan 90 percent black. There are about250 schools with virtually no whites atall, while there are 50 Catholic schoolsthat are completely white. You justwon’t find anything on this scale any¬ place else.”And Orfield says many opportunitiesto effectively integrate schools havebeen lost in the past 20 years. “Thenegative trends that were present inthe sixties have now played themselvesout to a much greater degree,” he said.“By the time there got to be a seriusdetermination to do something, whichwas during the Carter administration,racial change had gone so far that Chi¬cago had become an 80 percent minori¬ty school district.”Any plan to desegregate schools, hesaid, must include a housing desegre¬gation plan and city-suburb pupil ex¬changes. “The frontiers of integrationare way out in the suburbs now,” hesaid.The National Association for the Ad¬vancement of Colored People(NAACP) has, according to Orfield,used civil suits to effect school integra¬tion throughout the United States. But“when the NAACP began to raise diffi¬cult issues during the ’60s, the Chicagoorganization bought enough member¬ships to control the NAACP. That typeof thing just doesn’t happen anywhereelse,” he said.Orfield denounces Reagan Adminis¬tration policy as “a head-on attack” onintegration efforts. “They are reallycutting out job training, education pro¬grams, food stamps and housing: thebasic source of sustenance for the ghet¬tos and barrios in the country. Youcan’t habve institutions that arepropped up with various kinds of trans¬fusions and then suddenly cut thosethings off assuming everything will beall right. It’s madness,” he said, “andthat’s what we're in the middle of rightnow.”Abortioncontinued from page sevenbe drawn. It appears that, in the caseof abortion, a line has been drawn inthe wrong place.In her recent dissenting opinion inCity of Akron v. Akron Center for Re¬productive Health, US Justice SandraO’Connor, joined by Justices White andRehnquist, wrote that the State’s inter¬ests “in protecting the potentiality ofhuman” and in maternal health areboth compelling “throughout preg¬nancy.” “Potential life is no less poten¬tial in the first weeks of pregnancythan it is at viability or thereaf¬ter...The choice of viability as the pointat which the state inerest in potentiallife becomes compelling is no less arbi¬trary than choosing any point beforeviability or any point afterward (No.81-746. Opinion date June 15, 1983).Furthermore, Dr. Bernard Nathanson,formerly Chairman of the NationalAbortion Rights Action League’s Medi¬cal Committee, one-time director of the nation’s largest abortion clinic andnow a leading spokesman for the “Pro-Life” movement, writes in his forth¬coming book, The Abortion Papers,that “we have the baffling...paradox ofthe new science of fetology provingbeyond dispute that the fetus is ahuman being, a valued protectible life,and indeed our patient... while the AM Ainexorably moves backward into theMedical Stone Age.”There are deeply-rooted social, eco¬nomic, and spiritual problems whichhave made abortion the preferred solu¬tion in so many minds, and our wishingwill not make these problems go away;but neither will the question of the fetusgo away. The needs of women in crisisare very real, and only constructive,loving action by others will begin tomeet them. But if we will only look, wewill see that the unborn are also veryreal. And we will see that there is aworld of difference between problemsand people.Christopher Hodgkins is a second-year PhD in English; Gregg Bend rickis a fourth-year student in the College.CALENDARFRIDAYRockefeller Chapel: Public Lecture,Hans Kung Professor of Theology,University of Tubingen 4 pm.DOC: THX-1138, 7:30, 9:15.

He dis¬cusses not only the problem of living as a successfulathlete, but also emphasizes the problem of living asa successful black athlete against the waves of dis¬crimination he rode all through his basketball careerfrom the first day he played in high school.Sure Kareem presents the facts and numbers. Wesee the lanky Lew Alcindor lead Power MemorialHigh to two national championships, then repeat thesame feat three times as John Wooden’s center onthe UCLA dynasty teams of the late 1960’s. He haswon six MVP awards in the NBA, and his share ofNBA World Championships as well. But we all knewthat anyway. We knew stories about drugs in theNBA, too.Kareem, it seems, felt obligated to place thegames and numbers in the background in order toexplain his stance against the press and fansthroughout the years. That stance — seeminglyaloof, uncaring, egotistical — led many to doubt hisability to play the game, to respond in clutch situa¬tions, and perform as a team player. To these accu¬sations Kareem responds by defining his attitudeand his loneliness on the basis of his childhood inHarlem, and specific incidents, many of them racial,which he encountered as he crept into the nationallimelight.As Cora and A1 Alcindor’s only child, Kareem be¬came a private person from the start, and this affect¬ed his ability to handle himself in close quarters. “Asan only child,” he says in describing his feelingsabout moving in at UCLA, “used to the splendid iso¬lation of my own room, my Cloister, never havinghad to share a bathroom, let alone my entire dailylife with anyone my own age, I was not at home in thepublic privacy of a dormitory.” Though he and hisroommate, former NBA player Lucius Allen, neverhad any problems as roommates, Kareem neveropened up to him or anyone else, for that matter.His conspicuous build — tall and very thin —prompted neighborhood bullies to focus their atten¬tions on him, and this constant beating also contri¬ buted to his withdrawal. He found an outlet, howev¬er, on the playground, playing basketball, and hesets all of this against a description of his Harlem,with its budding racial and ethnic tension and itssometimes dangerous methods of having a goodtime, the latter resulting in some delightful anec¬dotes which nonetheless harken back to two themes:discrimination and loneliness.In fact, by the book’s end he has worn each themedown to the point of a cliche. By tying almost everyevent to a form of discrimination (almost always ra¬cial), and by responding to the attacks with with¬drawal and occasional outbursts of temper, Kareemseems to think the entire world wants to beat him,wants to knock off number one in any way theycan.For example, he tells us why the NCAA madesome rule changes when he played at UCLA: “I hadbeen handed my own personal handicap... the Col¬lege Basketball Rules Committee had altered theirregulations and made it a violation to dunk the ball.Clearly, they did it to undermine my dominance inthe game. Equally clearly, if I’d been white theynever would have done it.” When he commented onthe officiating in his early NBA days, he writes:“Most superstars get calls their way... Not for me.The pattern began my rookie year and has neverbeen altered: There’s a whole ’nother rule book forKareem.” In each case it’s white versus black or bigversus small, but in every case it’s Kareem againstthe world. He follows his description of his receivingthe short end on many calls by saying “Sounds whin-ey... but my rookie year as a pro drove me prettydeep into myself where I couldn’t be visited, couldn’tbe bruised.”At UCLA began his involvement with Islam and in¬creased his involvement in civil rights movements,an involvement which began when he covered raceriots for a small newspaper in Harlem after his jun¬ior year of high school. Islam filled the void left byhis moving the coast and abandoning both hisparents in New York and the Catholic faith, and for awhile it laid to rest his feelings of resentment on thecourt. It could not, however, help him in personal re¬lationships, and after a failed marriage followedsoon by strained relationships with his former Mus¬ lim teacher, he fell into his usual condition again:loneliness.Following his split from a stricter form of Islam,the racial tension fought its way to the surface again,reaching a peak when Kareem decked Kent Bensonin Benson’s NBA rookie season, and when KermitWashington smashed Rudy Tomjanovich’s face in afight with the Houston Rockets. Though in each casea white player initiated the fight, the refs “didn’t seeit” and the NBA followed what Kareem called “typi¬cal NBA justice: discipline the nigger.”Only in the last year or two has Kareem mellowedenough to soften his stance not only racially butagainst all people, especially with the help of CherylPistano, whom he met as a secretary in the Los An¬geles Lakers’ office. Simply because he wrote thisbook and bared himself personally (sometimes toopersonally) we feel compelled to sympathize withhim for his constant beatings in the neighborhoodsand on the court, and we can understand what goeson in the head of a person who, basically, has somuch talent that his perspective becomes altered. Inthat respect, Giant Steps represents more than astory about another successful athlete; it brings tous, personally, the man whom Wooden called “themost valuable player in the history of the game,”and gives us a first hand view of how some peoplecan interpret the inability to handle not only successbut also seeming invincibility as a conscious arro¬gance and aloofness. Therein lies its value.* * *My apologies to Patrick Herson, a first-year stu¬dent in the medical school, who pointed out that theteam that recently joined the Midwest Conferencecalls itself “St. Norbert” College, not “St. Nor-bert’s” College, as has appeared in previous sportssections.
