Greeley hasgiven the University $1.25 mil¬lion to establish a professor¬ship in Roman Catholic stu¬dies. The Andrew ThomasGreeley and Grace McNicholsGreeley Professorship in Cath¬olic studies, named in honor ofGreeley’s parents, is to befilled in the 1988-89 academicyear, when funding is complet¬ed.“We are grateful for FatherGreeley’s generosity and de¬lighted at his decision to create a professorship in this field,”said University presidentHanna Gray. “A chair in Cath¬olic studies will greatlystrengthen our existing pro¬grams and enhance scholar¬ship in the Church’s tradition,theology, and thought.”The primary affiliation ofthose appointed to the profes¬sorship will be with either theDivinity School or the Divisionof Social Sciences.Greeley, who received hisMA and PhD degrees in sociol¬ogy from the University, viewed establishment of thepost as a bridge between thechurch and scholarship.“For the last quarter of acentury my life as a priest hasbeen devoted principally totrying to establish a bridge be¬tween the church and scholar¬ship, to being a priest in theworld of scholars and a scholarin the church,” Greeley said.“Now that I have some extramoney, it seems wonderfullyappropriate to use this moneyto institutionalize, as it were,the bridge between the Univer-Braun urges divestmentBy Cathy LeTourneauThough blacks make upnearly 70 percent of the popu¬lation in South Africa, they arerestricted to living in an areaPHOTO BY MICHAEL ARONSONCarol Moseley Braunpercent of the land.

Atany time he may be stopped,questioned, and even arrestedif he does not havehis pass.Representative Carol Mose¬ley Braun spoke before a meet¬ing sponsored by the Organiza¬tion of Black StudentsWednesday night at Ida Noyes,on a bill she and anothermember of the Illinois state le¬gislature introduced. Bill 569calls for state pension fundssupporting investments inSouth Africa to be put backinto Illinois. In this way divest¬ment, acting as an anti¬apartheid move, will severelyaffect the white minoritygroup governing.“It is a moral, political, andpolicy concern. The state of Il¬linois has about two billion dol¬lars of the workers' money in¬vested directly or indirectly inworkers in South Africa. Thisis two billion dollars that canbe used in America. Instead itis being used for public policyobjectives that we do not agreewith.

The money coming fromthe US does not do much forblack workers there. They em¬ploy less than one percent ofthe black work force.“It’s as though we have aNazi Germany in 1984 and halfthe country doesn’t want topay attention to it. We haverun into a tremendous amountof opposition by companiesdoing business in South Africaand opposition, of course, fromthe South African govern¬ment,” said Braun. “It’s eco¬nomic slavery and policy dis¬enfranchisement. Blacks haveless than second class citizen¬ship. It’s more like third orfourth class.”When asked about the grow¬ing awareness of apartheid bypeople of this country, Braun,a former student of the Law-School here and assistant dis¬trict attorney for northern Illi¬nois, explained the confusionof many people. When onespeaks of South Africa, he en¬visions the homeland, accord¬ing to Braun, rather than acountry dominated by a whiteminority.“Many have no idea, almostcan’t envision, what being aSouth African is like. Our expe¬rience with slavery in thiscountry is almost not as ex¬treme as the situation there.It’s a combination of Americanslavery and Nazi Germany.The government is intent onkeeping not only a separationof the races but a denial ofrights to blacks,” Braun toldthe audience.Braun suggests that writingletters to government officialsand to magazines carrying ad¬vertisements promoting anySouth African product willmake a difference. The han¬dling of private money so thatit does not add to the growingnumber of investments inSouth Africa can also have animpact. There are money mar¬ket funds and investment com¬panies concerned with the en¬vironment, apartheid, etc.“The minute you start talk¬ing about divestment, you’retalking about internationalmoney from internationalcompanies. With the passsingof Bill 569, were not talkingabout private money, but ofpension dollars and tax dol¬lars. Divestment is an ideawhose time has come,” saidBraun. sity and the Church.Greeley, who has publishedwidely on a variety of issues insociology, education, and reli¬gion, has earned royalties inrecent years from a series ofbest-selling novels, includingThe Cardinal Sins, ThyBrother’s Wife, and AscentInto Hell.Greeley’s work at the Uni¬versity has been primarilywith the National Opinion Re¬search Center (NORC). Gree¬ley has served at NORC as asenior study director, as a pro¬gram director in higher educa¬tion, and is currently associat¬ed with NORC’s culturalpluralism research center.Greeley was also a lecturerin the University’s departmentof sociology from 1963 to 1972.Since 1978 he has been with theUniversity of Arizona’s sociol¬ogy department.Relations between the Uni¬versity and Greeley have oftenbeen stormy. The Universitydenied him tenure when hewas a lecturer here, and Gree¬ley once charged some admin¬istrators with anti-Catholicprejudice.Greeley, whose sister alsoattended the University, wasquoted by the Chicago Tribuneas saying the University “edu¬cated us. but it didn’t civilizeus.”Greeley sees the chair as“an occasion for a fruitful anddeveloping relationship be¬tween the University and theCatholic community in Chica¬go.”“The occupant of the chairwill be a scholar dedicated to research on some aspect of theCatholic heritage. He will rep¬resent through his scholarshipthe Catholic heritage to theRev. Andrew M. Greeleyworld of the University, andalso the University to theworld of the Church.” saidGreeley.While the University’s Divin¬ity School is non-denomina-tional. the largest portion of itsapproximately 270 studentsare Catholic.

We have until now keptour grievances between us and theSGFC. As head of the CACD, I can nolonger do so.Next week we are bringing RobertScheer, author of With Enough Shov¬els: Reagan, Bush, and Nuclear War,to campus. As a correspondent for theLA Times, Mr. Scheer covered the 1980Presidential campaign, and he focusedhis coverage on nuclear weaponsissues. In his book he reviews and, yes,interprets, his interviews with suchlong-time opponents of arms control asRonald Reagan and Richard Perle, aswell as arms control proponents likePaul Warnke and Hans Bethe. Mr.Scheer’s conclusions, backed up by thenotes, references, and transcripts thatmake up over half of his book, are notat all favorable to the Administration.The SGFC, needless to say, deniedour request for a modest sum of bucksfor advertising. Despite the breadth ofhis journalistic research, Mr. Scheerseems to have crossed that mysteriousline between the balanced discussionand the presentation of a “point ofview.” The latter is expressly forbid¬den in the SGFC bylaws.So who wants to come listen to some¬body who has no point of view? Thesepeople won’t be satisfied until no stu¬dent group is more controversial than acarton of plain yogurt. Simply put, I amnot impressed with this attitude.Recognizing that Mr. Scheer’s fram¬ing of the issue is to one side of whatsome would consider the issue to be —and recognizing that the SGFC is incharge of framing the issues for theregistered student-taxpayers aroundhere — we tried to get some folks fromthe other side to respond to Mr. Scheer.One such person, who had written asomewhat negative review of WithEnough Shovels in the local conserva¬tive rag, declined with the reason thatthis would be a setup against a muchmore powerful opponent. A facultymember also politely declined. Thuswe are denied (in principle) the oppor¬tunity to present a point of view be¬cause those who disagree with it arenot willing to do so publicly. That ain’tfair, Rick.Irritating as all this may be, the yo¬gurt issue that I alluded to earlier islarger and more disturbing.

SGFC decisions arbitiarycornerstone of this University, one cancarry these things a bit too far. If one iswilling and able to take and defend aposition, even for god’s sake a politicalone, why not embellish it with somegenuine bitching? A mouthful of fecesis a mouthful of feces and should beidentified as such. That is what groupslike the CACD are trying to do, and wefeel as much entitled to a piece of theActivities Fee pie as anyone else.My sentiments can best be expressedin this essay’s last word, but I doubtthat the Maroon will print it.Ted StromWomen’s bodiesthe real questionTo the editor:We feel that the back page ad in lastFriday’s Maroon distorts the actualavailability of abortion. In Illinois, asin many other states, abortions canonly be obtained up until the 21st weekof pregnancy. Only in life-threateningsituations can a woman receive anabortion in the third trimester (lastthree months of pregnancy). Less thanone percent of all abortions were per¬formed after the 20th week of preg¬nancy in 1980.Not only do the regulations of thestate and practices of the medical pro¬fession restrict abortion, but economiccircumstances can prevent a womanfrom obtaining an abortion even in thefirst trimester. Starting in 1978, all Me¬dicaid funding for abortions was cutoff, so that a poor woman could get anabortion only when her life was indanger. Only 15 states, not including Il¬linois, will pay for a poor woman’sabortion. “Abortion on demand” is notthe reality for all women even in thefirst trimester.Perhaps the people who signed the adbelieved that they were signing some¬thing which opposed third trimesterabortions only, but we feel that thismisrepresentation of the facts of abor¬tion diverts attention from the realissues of whether abortions should beavailable at all, and whether womenshould be able to determine what hap¬pens to their own bodies. A woman withan unwanted pregnancy faces a verydifficult choice: the decision to keep orabort the pregnancy is one that onlyshe can make.Madeleine Levin Sally WaackHeather Blair Pam Bleisch To the editor:I would like to offer this (somewhatbelated) comment on Mr. Szesny sCampus Voice article, “I am not im¬pressed” (1/10/84).» Mr. Szesny sets the tone for his arti¬cle by describing how hard StudentGovernment Finance Committeemembers work, and the long hours theyput in each week. I appreciate their ef¬forts. Hard work; however, is not en¬dured by Finance Committees alone,but is the common fate of most of ushere at UC, including, I might add, ev¬erybody in CAUSE. In this respect,SGFC and CAUSE have something incommon.Szesny then goes on to complainabout the Finance Committee’s imageof constantly “cutting” or “slashing”or “denying” funding to studentgroups. We in CAUSE; however, arenot disputing the SGFC’s concern forthe budget. Finance Committees havereduced CAUSE budgets in previousyears, and have even eliminated filmswhich they may not have considered“balanced,” with no complaints fromCAUSE. The “balance” concept, how¬ever, is quite ambiguous, and this year,under Szesny’s chairmanship, the defi¬nition has taken a giant step to theright. This is what concerns us aboutSGFC’s decisions, and, I suppose,about the bylaws which give a commit¬tee of six people so much control overthe political land social) life of the UCcampus.Theoretically; however, CAUSE isprotected from arbitrary decisionssuch as Szesny’s. The Student Govern¬ment Constitution requires that “theFinance Committee shall be guided byprevious budgets and shall not initiateany major changes which would be det¬rimental to any organization, unlessthe organization has made significantcuts in their activities since the pre¬vious year.” (Article V, Section 5i) Thepurpose of this requirement is to pre¬vent arbitrary decisions by SGFCagainst student groups which they don’t happen to like. This year’s Fi¬nance Committee decisions have beenstrongly at variance with the decisionsof previous Finance Committees.SGFC has therefore violated the Con¬stitution.Mr. Szesny is well aware of this prob¬lem. In his article he claims (withoutmentioning the constitutional issue orsubstantiating his charge) thatCAUSE’S “program and focus haschanged.” In fact, neither has. Whathas changed is the composition ofSGFC.At the risk of this letter becoming in¬tolerably long, let me address one lastissue: the alleged inconsistency (per¬haps insincerity?) of CAUSE. As wehave repeatedly insisted, CAUSE is nota monolith (though the nature of the ac¬tivity, and not the group is the issue).We are a loosely organized group withmembers of widely varying opinions onalmost every issue. Our purpose is notto establish the “correct line,” butrather to raise concern about certainUS policies which generally affect peo¬ple in other countries more intimatelythan they affect US citizens. This, ofcourse, isn’t an easy job, but it doesn’trequire us to agree about very manythings.I’m afraid that some of this disagree¬ment has spilled over into the SGFC de¬bate. CAUSE operates on the basis ofindividual initiative. That means thatwe get a lot done, but we don’t speakwith one voice. This may be confusingat times, but it’s not hypocrisy.Mr. Szesny claims to be fighting sel¬flessly for the purity of the Constitu¬tion, but close examination tells a dif¬ferent story. The Constitution isn’tdesigned merely to make Student Gov¬ernment feel important. It also has pro¬visions to protect student groups fromarbitrary Student Government deci¬sions. These provisions are currentlybeing ignored.John R. ConlonGraduate Student in EconomicsAbortion legal,on demandTo the editor:January 22nd was the 11th anniversa¬ry of the US Supreme Court’s decisionson Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, per¬mitting abortion, without restriction,up until the moment of birth. All cur¬rent abortion law is based on these twodecisions. The result is that:1) There are absolutely no restric¬tions on abortions for any reason dur¬ing the first six months of pregnancy,though states may regulate the tech¬niques used in the second trimester tosafeguard maternal health (e.g., re¬quiring hospitals rather than clinics).Note that virtually every bodily systemis formed during these six months.2) In the last three months, any state“MAY IF IT CHOOSES, regulate, andeven proscribe, abortion.”A) BUT IT NEED NOT; this ismerely an option.B) And according to Doe v Bol¬ton, all that is necessary to over¬ride state restrictions that mayexist is for one doctor — any doc¬tor, anywhere (including the doc¬tor in the abortion clinic) — tostate that an abortion is in the in¬terest of a mother’s “health,”where health is defined as “allfactors relevant to well-being,”and includes everything frommarital and economic status topeace of mind.This means that even if a state for¬bids third trimester abortions (whichno state has done), this prohibition canbe negated by the choice of a singlephysician, and often by one who standsto benefit financially from the abor-DOUBLEKNITHU ■MU"** TEMUlttl tion; and completely viable fetuses canbe killed until they leave the womb.Therefore, in the US as a whole, abor¬tion is legal on demand for the full ninemonths of a pregnancy.(For the full tell of the law, please seeUnited States Reports, v. 410, pp.113-15, 179-81, 191-92, 195-98, underK60.A1, No. 410, C.7 in the RegensteinReference section.)Chris HodgkinsRace is irrelevantTo the editor:The page-one story on Jan. 20, “LocalBail Seekers Mug Three,” not once, buttwice, identified the assailants in twoseparate incidents as black. It shouldgo without saying that their race iscompletely irrelevant (except to a ra¬cist). Clearly, it would never have oc¬curred to the Maroon to report thatsomeone was attacked by “two whiteteens” or “two white youths.”A description that includes the raceof the assailants can only be justifiedunder two conditions — when they arestill at large, and when enough otherdetails are offered to provide a reason¬able basis for their identification by areader who might encounter them.(Such is the logic of “manhunt”stories, anyway.) Neither conditionwas fulfilled in the cases you reported— one of which wasn’t even a crime,but a fevered suburban fantasy. Re¬porting like this is devisive, demeaningand dumb.Bob HoldenHistory grad student4—The Chicago Maroon—Friday, January 27, 1984 mX JVST **TE IT*a«jty . . -4IT* * MCi> -7 IIOC* Fafc 4KcsrMtMJr. 'BY L.O. LURVEVviewpointWhy I signed the petition: a modest defenseBy David BurkeThis last autumn, John Bowen wrotea nice article about abortion. He madefun of the Right-to-Lifers’ position thatany one-celled embryo might be consi¬dered a person because it has a com¬plete set of 46 chromosomes. He wroteabout how insane it would be if westarted protecting the rights of any tinylump of cell that was thus eligible. Iliked the article. I don’t know if a one-celled embryo really is “just anothercell,” but neither do this country’s le¬gislators, nor even this country’s scien¬tists. Because no one has been able toprove that individual life begins at con¬ception, and because they probablynever will it would be unfair for a su¬preme court to infringe upon the rightsof women by outlawing abortion. SoThere.John though,, in his article (whichwas admittedly much funnier than thisone) overlooked some other problems.These are the problems presented by asupreme court that has not set anymandatory restrictions on the time orcircumstances in which a mother mayabort her child.For instance, if a fetus is not a per¬son, but is still part of the mother’sbody, even after it has a human formand kicks inside her womb, they whyshould we call it a person when it is out¬side of her womb? Why don’t we justsay that everyone is still part of theirmother’s body? It would certainlymake holding elections, filling out in¬come taxes, and taking the cenus allmuch easier.Or maybe the law, as it stands now,does not regulate “in or out” of thewomb, but “before or after” ninemonths. That would mean that if I wasborn at eight months and three weeks,that Mom and Dad still had a week todecide whether they wanted to keep meor. give me the deep six. Maybe allabortions should be done after the childis born. It certainly would simplify theamputation of this “part of thewoman’s body” to cut it out after it is inplain view. Or maybe abortions shouldbe allowed when the child is a fewweeks old, and is crying. It is clear thatsuch a child is miserable, and would bebetter off dead.I know this is unfair, to bring up theseimages of carefree murder, committedby unfeeling parents who kill for con¬venience. Abortion is never carefree.Women who have had abortions have ahigh suicide rate around the times ofthe aborted baby’s birthdays and it isclear that all parents of unwanted preg¬nancy think about the act alot, evenlong after it is over. Sometimes, if I amdiscussing abortion with a woman, she will stop the conversation, saying:“There’s no way that you, as a man,can truly identify.”I believe her. The trauma of an un¬wanted child and an abortion must bestaggering, terrible.But I say these thing anyway. I’m notclaiming any divine knowledge of whenit is, (yes, I’m catholic), but some¬where in those nine months betweenconception and birth, the cells in herwomb cease to be part of the woman’sbody and become an individual humanbeing. At that point the supreme court,as it stands now, is no longer securingthe mother’s rights, but is denying allthose of the child. And at that point Ifeel it is condoning murder.I am a liberal. I have boycotted Nest¬le foods because I read in Mother Jonesmagazine that that company’s right tofree enterprise was being abused, andthat Nestle was killing infants in thethird world. I support stricter pollutioncontrols, and am against nuclear en¬ergy, in part, because of the effect ofthese things on unborn children whocannot speak up for themselves. Whenthey handed me a petition against the1973 ruling, and its lack of restrictions,I had to sign it.Why didn’t Mother Jones run that listof names that was in the back of theMaroon last week? Why is it a “conser¬vative” or “chauvanistic” position tobe against nine unrestricted months ofabortion, when it is, in the last trimes¬ter, almost certainly murder?I don’t like what the Pro-life peopledid with my signature. On the petition,next to my name, they described the1973 ruling in a little grey box. Concern¬ing abortions for medical reasons, theyreferred to the mother’s health as “themother’s health,” as if it were as ab¬surd a consideration as the ones I’velisted above. When I signed the peti¬tion, I asked the lady there exactlywhat would be printed. She did notmention this. I do not think I wouldhave signed it if she had. What is more,I think she knew that. I wish she hadbeen honest with me when speaking inmy behalf.Actually, I had forgotten about suchcases. (Yes, I’m a man). I suppose thatif two lives are in danger, then it is bet¬ter to prevent the greater tragedy.Even within this article’s context of“murder! murder!” I can see such anabortion as killing in self-defense.I realize this article sounds wishy-washy, if not hopelessly confused. Butthis week I learned that trying to ex¬press even the tiniest belief with a sin¬gle signature is a mistake, especiallywhen dealing with dishonest people.Even this whole article, I fear, will leave me misrepresented. But I dohave a position on abortion. I will try todescribe it better than the Right-to-Lifepeople did for me.I believe that the United States Su¬preme Court should do its job, and pro¬tect the rights of its citizens. I thinkthat Right-to-Lifers who say this in-Medicaid vs.By Adam M. SpiegelThe much-heralded opening of theBernard Mitchell Hospital and RubloffIntensive Care Tower undoubtedly willprovide the University with greatly ex¬panded research facilities. UCHC spo-kespeople also claim the massive capi¬tal investment was justified in order togive the University “the finest tertiarycare facilities in Chicago.” It is worthexamining who is ultimately paying thebill for both the University’s arroganceand the Trustee’s “philanthropy.”In the recent (Jan. 6) Maroon articlecovering this story, a UCHC spokes¬man bluntly states that the Universityis attempting to attract a North Sideclientele to replace the “liability”posed by South Side Medicaid clients.Ignoring the moral question for a mo¬ment, the financial fact is that thesepeople have only become a liability re¬cently, after certain cost control mech¬anisms have been placed within theMedicaid system. The “capping” of ag¬gregate reimbursement on the Statelevel, and the introduction of regulato¬ry devices such as diagnostic-relatedgroups on the Federal level are in re¬sponse to health care expenditures ris¬ing at 18 percent annually, regardlessof the inflation rate. This has beengoing on ever since the enactment ofMedicare and Medicaid in 1965, but hasonly recently attracted the close scru¬tiny of governmental bodies.The response of many hospitals (ex¬cept, of course, for Cook County andothers in the public domain) has beenexactly what UCHC is now doing. Thequestion remains why the South Sidepoor do not suddenly “need” the ser¬vices previously provided to themwhen reinbursement rates were athigher levels.The answer is that in many casesthese patients probably did not needmany of the diagnostic tests performedon them, did not need a prescription aslarge as was given, or did not have tobe treated as an inpatient, among otherpossible scenarios. Now that Medicaid eludes undeveloped embryos, muststray too far from the facts to provetheir point. But likewise, I disbelievePro-Choicers who, to say that a hairy,kicking, clearly human fetus is just“part of the woman’s body,” muststray too far from basic principles ofhuman rights.tertiary carereimbursement is not as profitable forhospitals, UCHC restricts or deniesaccess to care which cannot be provid¬ed at other area facilities. The irony isthat the poor as a rule take better careof their health than do higher incomegroups. The main reason for this is ob¬vious; unable to afford good insuranceplans, many of these people can less af¬ford not working or caring for youngchildren due to illness (this is assuminga standard of nutrition, housing, andthe like which itself is non-debilitat¬ing). As a preventive strategy, the poorThe Bernard Mitchell Hospitaltherefore see doctors more often; evenunder conditions when access is grant¬ed, the initial examination may now beperfunctory at best. If such is the case,quality of care becomes the issue.“Tertiary care” refers to the treat¬ment of complicated and serious healthproblems, such care rendered by a spe¬cialist referred by another physician.Such procedures require highly skilledlabor, expensive machinery, and often¬times long stays in the hospital. Howev¬er, such treatment is required relative¬ly infrequently and often leads to atbest marginal improvement in the pa¬tient’s health. Whether such huge ex¬penditures are justified in the overallhealth network is difficult to answer.What is evident is the denigration Me¬dicaid clientele must endure so thatUCHC can better balance its books.continued on page sevenDC folks: they’ll never put up with White Sox fansTo the editor:Just before throwing away Tues¬day’s Maroon, I noticed an article, nes¬tled comfortably between a hot itemabout an abandoned car and the ever¬present gay coffeehouse ad, whichmade a multitude of caustic remarksabout our nation’s capital. As a subur¬ban Washingtonian, let me refute theaccusations made by the nescient andobviously insecure author.The author, Mr. Grammich,launches his diatribe by asserting thatWashingtonians are the most self-im¬portant people alive. The explanationfor this is simple: Washingtonians arebetter, smarter, and more importantthan people from other regions of thecountry. If this weren’t so, why wouldboth important people from Illinois(Chuck Percy and Bob Michel) spendso much time in Washington?Washington has many strong points,two of which are the presence of a realnewspaper, and the absence of MikeRoyko. Royko typifies the insecuritydemonstrated by Mr. Grammich andall other Chicagoans. One reason forChicagoans’ insecurity is their knowl¬edge that thev live in a citv which is ba¬sically a bloated Cleveland. The chief cause of their insecurity though, is thehumiliation that their athletic teamssuffer each year.Although all Chicago teams are inthe most pathetic divisions of their par¬ticular leagues, they still have about asmuch success in making it to theplayoffs as Adlai Stevenson, their fel¬low Illinoisan, had in making it to theWhite House. This unbelievable medi¬ocrity causes Chicagoans to write arti¬cles criticizing the Redskins for onlybeing the second best team in theNFL.This year, though, Chicagoans final¬ly had something to cheer about. Theperennial cellar-dwelling White Sox ac¬tually made it to the playoffs. Atten¬dance swelled as people took off theirCardinals and Brewers hats andjumped on the Sox bandwagon. In¬spired by their vocabulary enrichingtheme song, the Sox and their born-again fans rode a wave of popularityinto the playoffs where they were hu¬miliated by the Baltimore Orioles. H-U-M-I-L-I-A-T-E-D. You would thinkthat Chicagoans, having had so muchpractice, would be good losers. Thecorrect, or shall I say the Washingtoni¬ ans way to handle such a defeat wouldbe to say “Wait ’till next year.” Ofcourse. White Sox fans aren’t noted fortheir graciousness.Despite the Sox being outscored bythe incredible margin of 19-3, the Soxfans still wouldn’t concede that theOrioles were the better team. I attend¬ed the last playoff game and all 1 heardwhen it was over was “Man, the umpswere paid off.” Actually, that’s notquite all I heard. One middle-agedwoman screamed at me “I hope all youOrioles fans get herpes!” Ah. what de¬lightful losers Chicagoans are.One thing Mr. Grammich criticizesthe Redskins for is their tendency togive cute names to their players. I fullyagree with him on this point, but 1 has¬ten to add that the Redskins aren’t theonly team with players nicknamed forlivestock. Let us not forget the Sox de¬signated hitter named for a male bo¬vine, who did his best to set a post sea¬son record for most times struck out inkey situations.This is not to say that Chicago has novalue whatsoever. Indeed, this annexto Gary, Indiana provides a tremen¬dous tax base which enables Washing¬ tonians to enjoy a standard of livingunrivaled by people from any othermetropolitan area.Chicago is also a useful place forlearning how not to do things. Speak¬ing, for example, is not the Chica¬goans’ specialty. In Chicago, as inother parts of the third world, soda isreferred to as “pop.”Chicago also provides marvelous ex¬amples of what doesn’t constitute cul¬ture. Contrary to the prevailing opinionin Chicago, washing your thermal un¬dershirt before wearing it to the bowl¬ing alley does not make you cultured.Chicago is of course, a splendid ex¬ample of how not to run a government.While I enjoy watching Yrdolyak andWashington push around their threemillion buffoon constituents likeslaves. I rejoice that this form of gov¬ernment hasn’t infected more civilizedplaces like Libya.Chicago also makes a nice refuelingstop for airplanes jetting people be¬tween the more interesting places oneither side of it. Heck, it’s not even thatbad a place to go to school, if you canput up w ith White Sox fansRussell MillerThe Chicago Maroon—Friday, January 27. 1984— 5^Contacts for Sale!What Is A Bargain?The 4 questions most frequently asked about contact lenses are:1.

Complying withReagan administration policy, the De¬partment wished to sell the property toreduce the national deficit.Protesting the planned sale, commu¬nity groups and federal and state offi¬cials, including Sen. Charles Percy (R-111.), pressured for a temporarywithdrawal of the project. “I think that the objections fromlocal communities were a factor in thedecision,” said Harry Conner, an Ar¬gonne spokesman, as reported by theChicago Tribune. “We think that thedelay will provide a more objectiveview of the needs of the laboratory andthe local communities.”Earlier Argonne officials had arguedthat the decrease of available landcould hinder the progress of future pro¬grams. The sale would also have re¬quired stricter security if the land wasdesignated for residential or commer¬cial use.Meanwhile the Department of En¬ergy will continue to study the conse-Helicopter causes controversyThe new emergency helicopter ser¬vice begun last month by the U of CHospitals stirred up controversy lastweek after the rescue of an accidentvictim on the Stevenson Expressway,according to a story in the Chicago Tri¬bune.The dispute centers around who hasthe authority to call in the helicopter.Dr. Frank Baker, chief of emergencycare at the U of C Hospitals, says thatpolice and firemen should make the de¬cision. Dr. John Shea, project medicaldirector at Loyola University MedicalCenter, says that medically-trainedparamedics should have the final deci¬sion.The accident in question occurredJan. 10. A rush-hour pile-up causedthree deaths and critically injured afourth woman. The U of C helicopterwas summoned by a police officer whosaid that the traffic could have delayedCredit Union thrivingan ambulance for an hour. The ambu¬lance would have taken the patient toLoyola.Paramedics at the scene were notpleased by Baker’s decision to take thewoman in the helicopter. ‘‘They camefrom another system into our systemand scooped up our patient, and we re¬ally weren’t aware what was goingon,” reported the Tribune.Shea said that the dispute involves alot of money, pointing out that thecharge is $200 plus $5 a mile. “With thecosts involved, do you suppose that he¬licopter is going to land someplace,check the patient and decide to flyaway empty?”Baker said that under state law, aphysician who arrives at an accident isgiven precedent over all other medicalauthority, including paramedics andphysicians in radio contact with them.The U of C student credit union, nowin its second week of operation, hasgotten twice the number of membersas it projected last month for this time,and is still counting.The University Student FederalCredit Union (USFCU) has attracted600 members to open accounts, accord¬ing to Vice President Martin Elling, quences of the sale of the lands, alongwith 326 other acres scattered through¬out Argonne, to the laboratory. An¬other decision will be announced in sixmonths.Argonne National Laboratorywith an average balance per memberof $520, $200 more than the amount pro¬jected for second week of operation. Intotal assets, the credit union now hasclose to $500,000.As of Thursday, students were stilllining up to open accounts, althoughnot in as much of a frenzy, according toElling. Bessettecontinued from page one“The truth is, that I went on thepayroll of the Daley mayoral cam¬paign on Jan. 27, 1983, only after takinga formal leave of absence from my jobas director of planning, training, andmanagement for the Cook Countystate’s attorney’s office,” Bessettesaid. “All of this is documented in therecords of the state’s attorney’s office.Yet, to my knowledge, neither Mr.Bloom nor any member of his staffmade the slightest effort to check withme or with anyone else at the state’s at¬torney’s office regarding the facts.” Concerning non-salary employeebenefits, Bessette said he did not re¬ceive “any benefit of any sort while Iwas on leave.” Bessette said he paidthe county for his hospitalization insur¬ance while on leave.“What most concerns me about theseunfounded, unverified, and falsecharges is that they impune my char¬acter and integrity before my studentsand colleagues at the University of Chi¬cago,” Bessette said. “These "chargesare particularly harmful to someonelike me who teaches government andpolitics and who emphasizes the impor¬tance of high standards of ethical be¬havior in the governmental and politi¬cal arenas. Such reckless actions areno credit to politics or politicians.”VIEWPOINTSUCHCcontinued from page fiveWhere did all the capital come from tofinance the University’s share of con¬struction costs? Possibly from the pre-viously-available $15 million (or more)received from the government on be¬half of the Medicaid population?Through refusal to internally curbcosts, UCHC faces a whopping shortfallin projected revenue and naturally de¬prives those in its own backyard. Afflu¬ent North-Siders who desire tertiarycare can in any case receive such treat¬ment on the North Side.Thus the arrogance of the Universityis exposed to its neat hypocrisy of si¬multaneously “solving” the “liability”which Medicaid has now become, en¬hancing the University’s prestigeamong certain groups, and appearingto be quite philanthropic through itall. Of course there is nothing w rong withbuilding such facilities if the Trusteeswant to take sole responsibility for thefinancial risks involved. There is alsonothing wrong with attracting NorthSide clientele in order to help keep thehospital financially sound. But balanc¬ing the books on the backs of the poor(and the average hospital client) is notthe answer. Hospitals, physicians, andall others involved in the delivery ofhealth services must take the initiativeto internally control expenditures andcosts. It is they, not the consumer, whoset service rates, order procedures,and control utilization in the far fromfree health market. UCHC has a re¬sponsibility to the community in whichit resides: viewing Medicaid clients asfiscal liabilities without considering themoral implications of denying care is astance quite opposed to the ethical prin¬ciples inherent in the health profes¬sions.Adam M. Spiegel is a master’s stu¬dent in the School of Social Service Ad¬ministration.LETTERSDispelling some preconceived notions on abortionTo the editor:It is difficult to know quite what tomake of the full-page protestationagainst the 1973 Supreme Court deci¬sion on abortion that appeared in theMaroon (Friday, 20 January 1984).What eactly is the point of this ad? Onemight, of course, respond in an ad ho-minum manner. After all, men consti¬tute fully two-thirds of the signatoriesto this protest against a legal rulingthat grants a measure of reproductionchoice to that portion of the population(i.e. women) that bears the most directOn the trackTo the editor:I am delighted to find that a letter tothe Hyde Park Herald resulted in aneditorial in the Maroon. But I thinkyour readers need some “ancient histo-The 1C tracksry” background about Hyde Park andits transportation woes.The “severe, inherent” problems ofthe IC began about 10 years ago whenthe IC management decided that theywould like to quit being a passenger and disproportionate burden of child¬bearing.But this is a University Communityrightfully disdainful of ad hominum at¬tacks of this sort. Right? Surely weought not to allow our own moralism tostand in the way of a clear-headed dis¬cussion of important questions.Yet this merely returns us to thepoint of this protest, to the messagethat its endorsers wish to convey. Is themessage that abortion is morally re¬pugnant and hence unacceptable under any circumstances—period? If so, thenwhy all the bother about the variouspossible restrictions that the Court’sruling allows? Or about the failure ofStates to adequately regulate or pro¬scribe the reproductive freedom oftheir female citizens? If abortion is tobe condemned as unacceptable (forwhatever reason) then it ought just tobe condemned (with reasons). Right?But this is not what this protest does.It might then be the case that the sig¬natories do not want to defend such anof IC inadequaciesservice, despite the fact that they ownall their lakefront land and the right totheir tracks on that land because theyagreed to give Hyde Park train serviceto the Loop. (I was present when the ed¬itor of the Herald took a group of RaySchool students to interview the VPwho told them he only wanted to haulfreight.) We Hyde Parkers had justvoted for the RTA, which we were toldwould improve all city transportation;despite the efforts of our aldermen andlegislators, the opposite has happened.It was now that the IC made 59th Streetthe main stop, cut services drastically,and raised the cost, so that they couldsay happily, “See, we keep losingriders.” They did, of course. The com¬munity tried to get the University andthe SECC to fight its cause, and both in¬stitutions said it wasn’t their problem,because faculty and students live here,and don’t need to go to the Loop every¬day.But the University really cannot sur¬vive without its neighborhood. It found that out in the 1950s and it is about timeit learned the lesson again. If transpor¬tation woes are handled only for stu¬dents, they will continue to grow worse,until the IC can say, “See, no one ridesthe trains. We can close down all theHyde Park stops and no one will stopus.”It’s a classic American scenario,where we need to remember old BenFranklin’s comment that, “if we don'tall hang together, we will all hang se¬parately.” Thank you.Maryal Stone DaleHint of racism?To the editor:I appreciate the Maroon’s publica¬tion of articles about crime in HydePark, but would like to suggest that de¬scribing offenders by the color of theirskin (“two black youths. . .”) addsnothing to the articles except, perhaps,a hint of racism.Jodi Ross absolutist position. They might thinkthat abortion is permissible in some in¬stances. Then; however, they shouldindicate how the circumstances thatthey see as rendering abortion permis¬sible differ from those implicitly con¬demned in this ad. What criteria wouldthe signatories endorse for determin¬ing when abortion is permissible ‘in theinterests of the mother’s “health”’?(And howT innocent is their use of scarequotes here?)Issues of this sort are not taken up inads such as the one that appeared inlast Friday’s Maroon. I would suggestthat discussion of the issues raised bythe Supreme Cout’s ruling on abortionis not advanced by the sort of sensa¬tionalism that such ads foster. In orderto engage in serious consideration ofreproductive freedom (which is not ex¬hausted by the discussion of abortionrights), in order to arrive at any clarifi¬cation of the troubling dilemmas that itraises, it is necessary for all partici¬pants to the discussion to eschew pos¬tures of moral superiority. In the end(whether intentionally or not) that iswhat I believe that the endorsers of thisad managed to convey—a posture ofmoral superiority. Such a posture restson a facile rendering of difficult ques¬tions and hence is not conducive to asearch for clarity. And this being a Uni¬versity Community shouldn’t that bewhat is striven for? One or another illu¬sion need to be shed. Either we need todispense with illusions of moral superi¬ority or we ought to surrender the ideathat the University Community is onethat supports discussion and thought¬fulness regarding difficult questions.Jim JohnsonGraduate studentThe Chicago Maroon—Friday, January 27, 1984—7HYDE PARK BANK INTRODUCESTHE MONEY NETWORK CARDOrdinary bankingdoesn’t measure up.Say goodbye to ordinarybanking.

In the first intras¬quad meet in the 60-yard dash Williamsedged freshmen sprinter/long jumperRomnee Clark, as both runners ran a7.3. time. Kinney finished at 7.4, and allthree times shattered the school record(held by Williams and Kinney) of 7.6seconds.Those new record times are not offi¬cial, though, since they did not occur inmeets against other teams.Williams also tied her pesonal bestand school record in the 300, with atime of 38.6.Middle distance runners back thisyear include Sara Dell and Tracey But¬ton (also in hurdles), and in the dis¬tance events the team has returneesDiana Kaspic and Sue Snow.In the field events, shot putters JackiMoline and Kate Choldin are the letterwinners from last year.“We have very strong, versatile indi¬viduals,” said Whitehead, “but lackdepth in distance events.” She alsosaid the team is looking for a highjumper.In the sprints, Clark and fellow fresh¬man Myra LaVenne should contribute,while in the middle distance newcom- full scheduleers include freshman Gretchen Carl¬son and sophomore Lisa Peterson. Inthe distance event freshman RachelVinkey — the number one runner onthe 1983 varsity cross country team —will lead the squad. She posted a 5:59.9mile time in the second intrasquadmeet.Freshman Maria Del Favero is thetop prospect in the shot put. Del Faverothrew her personal best in the secondmeet with a toss of 33-10, and hasthrown consistently six feet or so betterthan Moline, who has tosses of 27-7 and27-0 in the first two meets. Del Fa-vero’s toss is just 11 inches short of theschool record. Another newcomers tothe team is shot putter Lisa Pickens.Whitehead also expects ShaunaSmith, a record holder in the 60-yardand 60-meter hurdles, to return to theteam if healthy. She was injured earlylast season.“We are welcoming additional par¬ticipants as our season extendsthrough the spring,” said Whitehead. Gretchen Gates, who led all scorers with 15 points Tuesday night,puts up a shot against Lake Forest as guard Beverly Davis lookson.Maroons trample Lake ForestBy Geoff SherryThe University of Chicago women’sbasketball team continued its winningways by downing Lake Forest College62-31 last Tuesday at Henry CrownField House. Coming off an emotionalwin over St. Norbert, Chicago capturedits fourth straight victory by holdingLake Forest to a mere 11 field goals theentire game.The game was a mismatch from thevery beginning. Lake Forest talliedonly 12 points in the first half. “Wewanted to put pressure on the perime¬ter people. . . make them take the out¬side shots,” commented Maroons’ headcoach Diann Nestel. Did they succeed?Obviously, as the Foresters shot 22 per¬ cent from the field.The second half was similarly lopsid¬ed. Led by Beverly Davis’ outstandingdefensive play, along with balancedteam scoring, Chicago outscored LakeForest 30-19 in the second half, and alltolled Chicago’s defense forced 33 turn¬overs.“The game was a total team effort.These games are sometimes hard toplay, but we stayed with it and kept ourcomposure,” added Nestel. All of theMaroons clocked at least nine minutesof playing time, and Gretchen Gatesled Maroon scorers with 15 points.Helen Straus chipped in 10.Chicago is now 7-4 overall and 4-0 inthe conference. Nestel said, “We have a very tough non-conference schedule.It prepares us well for our conferencegames.” This year’s success can be at¬tributed to many things, but none moreimportant than quality practices.“This is a great group of kids. I enjoyworking with them,” said Nestel. “Ourpractices are tough, but a lot more hasbeen accomplished this year than anyother since I have been here.”The Maroons shoot for a 6-0 confer¬ence record this weekend with twomore home games Friday and Satur¬day.

McGuire leadsthe Cohawks in scoring with a 14.6average per game, and Eberhardaverages 10.4.Cline pointed out that her team lostto St. Norbert in its second game of theyear, 76-63, after trailing by 19 at half¬time.

Don’t care? Notentertaining? Whatever reason youwant to offer, one fact, as last Satur¬day’s Chicago-St. Norbert women’sbasketball game hinted at, remains ob¬vious: very few people watch varsitysports at the University of Chicago.In Tuesday’s Third String Maroonreporter Geoff Sherry commented onthe large number of St. Norbert fanswho made the 250-mile trip to watchthe game here, and the small numberof fans who made the two-block walkfor the same thing. The coaching staffoffered various opinions on the subject,and often differed on the root of theproblem and the solution, but mostagreed on certain points.• Chicago needs more publicity forits games, to make more people awareof game times, the importance ofgames, and so forth.• Because the diversity of the stu¬dent body here, a large number of peo¬ple will not attend the particular eventsanyway.• Most of the fans in attendance atgames are parents, other athletes, afew friends, and members of the facul¬ty-• The problem won’t change over¬night.“That doesn’t mean, though,” saidhead football coach Mick Ewing, “thatwe don’t get at it (the problem of atten¬dance and attitude). We won’t get any¬thing done just sitting around.”AttitudeWhile head women’s basketballcoach Diann Nestel and head volley¬ball coach Rosie Resch felt that thesports events usually received lowerpriority than most things with stu¬dents, Ewing and men’s athletic direc¬tor Jim Hargesheimer cited attitude asa major reason for the small atten¬dance.“I’m not sure if we have a lot ofschool spirit here,” said Harge¬sheimer, who also acts as assistantmen’s basketball coach. “If you go to adifferent campus, say Princeton orHarvard, a hell of a lot of people knowwho’s playing and what’s going on,” headded.“The reputation of athletics plays animportant part (in bringing people tothe games),” said Ewing. The reputa¬tion at the University of Chicago,though, gets summed up in one word:losing.“Everyone likes to follow a winner,”he added. “There are a lot of proudpeople here...who like to be associatedwith winners very strongly.”Hargesheimer said that though pub¬licity may help, “it’s the attitude youhave to change.” He added, however,that if Chicago did produce a winner ina major sport, the stands should fillup.Nestel wasn’t so sure that winningwould make the major difference. “Idon’t know if people here would appre-The University of Pennsylvania istaking “major strides” to increase itsresearch projects for business.

With the decrease infederal spending, universities arelooking for alternative ways to fundresearch.* * *The Daily Pennsylvanian conducteda random poll of 186 students at theUniversity of Pennsylvania anddiscovered that “overall, the figuresindicate that 40 percent ofundergraduates who said they arevirgins don’t want to stay that way.”More than 55 percent of the studentsreported that they have engaged inpremarital sex, and 43 percent saidthey are virgins. Sixty percent of themen said they had had sex, but only47 percent of the women. ciate it if we had a DePaul,” she said,referring to the 15-0, nationally rankedDivision I Blue Demons.A couple of coaches agreed that asuccessful fall season, especially in amajor sport such as football, wouldcarry over some spirit and enthusiasminto the winter season.“The campus community is missingan opportunity for some good enter¬tainment, and some good sports ac¬tion,” said Resch, who said that attimes Chicago has had good fan sup¬port, and it has created “a snowballingeffect.“If people would give them a chance,they’d be pleased” with what they see,she added. Nestel agreed that gettingpeople to the games once will have apositive effect, and hopefully spreadthe word to get more people to come orreturn in the future.PublicityDespite several efforts to promotethe particular games, especially on thepart of women’s basketball, the public¬ity and promotion of Chicago sports re¬mains virtually non-existent, outside ofthe Maroon.The women’s basketball team hasheld the Great Chicago Shootout athalftime of several of its games. TheShootout brings fans down to competein games such as guessing the halftimescore, shooting the ball from half¬court, and so forth, for prizes.“It seems to have helped a little,”said Nestel.Ewing said that the sports eventsneed more “color,” stating that in gen¬eral there is nothing going on at theFollowing the alcohol-overdosedeath of a student that attended one ofits parties, the Tennessee StateUniversity chapter of Omega Psi Phifraternity has been suspended for atleast three years. The fraternityadmitted to three violations ofUniversity policy in connection withthe party.* * *A conference on “Food/Agriculturein the Liberal Arts,” sponsored by theUniversity of Florida and the W.K.Kellogg Foundation last week,concluded that liberal arts studentsneed to know more about agriculture.“Agriculture literacy” was thesubject of discussion, andparticipating colleges reported ontheir respective approaches to theproblem. Suggested topics for newcourses, or for incorporation intoexisting courses, included US farmpolicy, distribution of surplus to theworld’s hungry, the problem ofdropping water tables in the West,and the loss of farmland to urbandevelopment. game except the game itself. “Whatabout music at basketball games,” hesuggested as just one possibility to addsomething to the games.Another project in the works for Nes¬tel and assistant coach KevinMcCarthy is a road-trip for Chicagofans to Green Bay, Wisconsin, whenthe men’s and women’s basketballteam take on St. Norbert in two impor¬tant conference games Feb. 17. Theplan involves renting a GreyhoundBus, leaving Chicago at noon Friday,and watching the games that Fridaynight. Afterwards the fans will stay atHoliday Inn under a special package*deal. Everyone should be home bynoon Saturday, and Nestel estimatedthe cost of the trip at S30-35.“It would be fun and give people achance to get away,” she said. She alsopointed out that the idea for the trip toWisconsin did not originate in the de¬partment, but rather from studentswho approached the department andsuggested the idea.“So maybe we are making somestrides with students,” she added. TheMaroon women’s team faces a toughconference opponent in Coe Collegethis evening at the Field House.As for general publicity, though, theproblem is, as head basketball coachJohn Angelus said, “advance informa¬tion.“Even if it doesn’t say much, if youhave a good club, there should be somemention of it prior to the game,” saidAngelus.“What’s wrong with hanging a ban¬ner on the quads in advance of the foot¬ball or basketball games?” askedEwing.Ewing said he is “disturbed” that thesports department lacks an SID(Sports Information Director), and An¬gelus spoke about what happened whenthe department did have an SID.“We got all kinds of attention,” hesaid, “and we had a player make Aca¬demic All-American. It’s impor¬tant...there are a lot of individualstories here, and (the publicity) makesthe school look good.”Hargesheimer said that the depart¬ment had an SID this fall, but the per¬son quit midway through the footballseason. He and Ewing said that such aperson, on a full-time basis, wouldwrite releases, keep track of statistics,travel with teams, and publicize thegames around campus.Angelus said that he used to makesigns advertising the games, but gaveup the project this year. “When we’rebogged down with recruiting, schedul¬ing, scouting, not to mention thegames, we don’t have time to publicizeourselves.”Attendance makes a difference toAngelus, as he called the crowd “thesixth man at a basketball game.” BothResch and Nestel also mentioned thatthe players in last Saturday’s Chicago-St. Norbert game appreciated the noiseHITHER AND YON from the crowd that did show up. TheMaroons, after all, do have a loyal fol¬lowing, despite its limitations.“We had a very loyal following bythe end of the season,” said Resch,about the volleyball team. The crowd,she said, helps in volleyball especially,because of the more confined area, andshe added that “it did make a dif¬ference.”PrioritiesThough awareness of when a contesthappens may remind a person to go, avarsity sports event may still not topmost people’s list of priorities. Angelussaid that most decisions on whether togo to a game are spontaneous, because“people usually don’t plan far ahead.”That, he feels, mandates the need for aspecial effort to promote the games.Resch and Nestel discussed themyriad of options one has for activitieson campus, which makes Angelus’ de¬sire for more day-of-game advertisingeven more critical.“Look at last Saturday,” said Resch,referring to the day of the Chicago-St.Norbert game. “We had Kuviasung-nerk, David Steinberg, and so forth,and people had to juggle their time.“Attending an athletic event may notbe a priority recreational activity withso many other things to do like IM’sand movies, etc.” she added.“We respect students’ viewpoints,”said Ewing, who said that with the aca¬demic atmosphere here it’s expectedthat varsity sports takes a back seat.“It (a game) should serve as a breakfrom the usual routine,” he continued.“If a person knows we have a programthat is recreational for him, that’ll helpget him going to the games.”That entertainment/recreationalfactor, as Ewing pointed out, needs tobe increased, in a sense to supplementthe game itself. Nestel added, though,that the quality of the game matters aswell.“The level of play is relative,” Nes¬tel said, implying that whether thelevel of basketball is Division I or Divi¬sion III, if you have two evenlymatched teams, you will have a goodbasketball game. A close game, suchas the several one-point games thewomen’s team has had this winter,should increase interest, and bringfans back. But blowouts, such as theGrinnell game and the Lake Forestgame, may actually be a setback togenerating support because the gameitself is not so interesting to watch.Awareness“If someone wants to be a punkrocker,” said Ewing, “that’s fine. Butif someone wants to be a jock, thatshould be fine, too.”Athletes at Chicago, without theirletter jackets or the jackets for theirparticular sports, are generally incon¬spicuous.“There’s no awareness of who they(the athletes) are,” said Harge¬sheimer. “You go to other Division IIIschools who are more concerned aboutdoing well in sports, as well as every¬thing else, and kids know who plays onthe team.“Sports are part of the social atmo¬sphere, and people don’t usually comeher for the social life. But here he (aplayer) can have both — be numberone in his class and still play sports,”Hargesheimer added. A few yearsback, for instance, one newspaper rana story on some of the men’s varsitybasketball players, calling them Doc¬tors of Dunk, because several of themwent on to medical school after gra¬duating from Chicago.So the tie between publicity aware¬ness, and attendance is very compli¬cated, and several of the coaches saidthat they have no singular answer as towhy people stay away from the games.But apparently the athletic depart¬ment realizes the situation, and hope¬fully can figure out its capacity to im¬prove and increase participation ofstudents and non-students in the var¬sity sports program.“The athletic program adds a lot — itgives a dimension others don’t oftensee,” said Hargesheimer. With someserious effort, though, maybe it will be¬come a dimension others will see.The Chicago Maroon—Friday, January 27, 1984—13IBEAUTIFULLY MAINTAINEDCO-OP BUILDING. Super campuslocation.

Inthe past twenty-some odd years that she’sbeen around and about the folk musicscene in Hyde Park, she’s been subjectedto more than her share of self-righteous,self-accompanied bards and balladeersdroning on. We've all had a taste of it: aslice at injustice, a dash of sour romance,and a cup of expresso.Laura just likes the pickin’. Nothing’sbeen quite the same for her since she leftthe suburbs and expanded her idea of folkmusic beyond the Kingston Trio, turning-onto string bands like the New Lost CityRamblers. She first caught this act at the1963 University of Chicago Folk Festivaland she kept on following traditional andold-timey music. This involvement led to abit of her own music making which has fur¬ther sharpened her sensibilities, as she lis¬tens more and more exclusively to the kindof things she'd like to play, steering clearof extraneous influences. Mind you, it’snot her nature to stick her nose in the air,but Laura Gloger is a purist. Just don’t callher a folkie.This is the week that Laura takes a vaca¬tion from her job at the University so shecan help the U of C Folklore Society withtheir much-acclaimed Folk Festival. In caseyou’ve been living in the Regensteinstacks lately, the Fest is going on thisweekend, January 27-29 at Mandel andIda Noyes Halls. You might imagine all thedetails that need to be ironed out at thelast minute: the performers need to be fedand housed, the posters need to go up allover the city, the public needs to knowwho, where, when, and how much. . . thephone rings off the hook! Responsibilityfor these little items that cascade into theEvent rests upon the young and energeticshoulders of Folklore Society Co-presi¬dents Katy Early, Bonnie Campbell andtheir subordinates. Laura doesn't take theweek off to be an administrator. Shehangs around to be around; she’s alwaysright there to recollect ‘‘the way thingswas.”This sense of history means much morethan dusty archives of past programs andmemorabilia. The Folklore Society, hardlythe exclusive clique it’s perceived to be,has been prime dabbling ground for manya dilettante. In another time, folk wasfashion, old-time was new wave. Now, allof that’s for the throw-backs. Amidst suchclimactic inversions, Laura’s stories repre¬sent the continuity at the heart of the Fes¬tival's purpose.Cultural pluralism has been tightly, andoften uncomfortably, wound around tradi¬tionalism. A definitive set of standards,like Laura’s carefully distilled notionsabout good pickin’, never has been suffi¬ cient criteria for choosing performers forthree days of shows and workshops. Cer¬tain styles, most notably Bluegrass andthe Blues, demand representation. At the'67 Fest, a monstrous blizzard reduced theFriday night show to the New Lost CityRamblers and Buddy Guy. Refunds wereoffered that night, but the hardy crowd atMandel knew a good thing when theyheard one. Though devotees of these twostrains may have listened very different¬ly, they held each other’s musical values inmutual respect. Later that weekend, thestreets had been cleared well enough toget a Cajun band to the hall, and since thenthe Louisiana hot stuff has become a stapleup here. The Folk Festival has always beencommitted to this kind of diversity, if atthe risk of schizophrenic eclecticism.So where do they draw the line? Duke El¬lington’s oft-quoted remark that the onlykinds of music are good and bad serves asa starting point. The Folklore Society, un¬like either the Major Activities Board orJAM productions, is in a position of uniquefreedom from the standard commercialconsiderations. Because it has consistentlyturned over new stones, the Society istrusted not to let its public down. Tastesoccasionally are offended by programmi¬ng that extends folk music into the territo¬ry of old popular music. Songs of our ownpast, the corny stuff that Grandma listensto, is not so easily absorbed as is thatwhich we view as exotica. Western Swing,immensely popular in white Americaaround 1950, failed to find a place on thefolk scene until it was presented at theFestival in the early ’70’s as a legitimateform worthy of preservation. MamaYancy, an annual fixture here since ’77,was also labeled as too much of a pop mu¬sician. The Folklore Society, due to the rep¬utation of their Festival, is capable of ex¬erting a real impact on the definition offolk music.Anyway, this year’s Festival should bepretty good. Speaking of continuity, bag¬piper George Armstrong will open the con¬certs, just as he's done for the past twenty-three years. Ralph Stanley, the Bluegrasslegend who appeared at the very first Fes¬tival, will perform at 3:15 Saturday and7:30 Sunday and will participate in work¬shops Saturday at 10 and Sunday at noon.The Sunday workshop, to be held at Ida, Noyes Cloister Club like all the other work¬shops, will feature only Ralph and hisClinch Mountain Boys for their telling ofthe history of Bluegrass.Two larger groups, the Christian Taber¬nacle Concert Choir and the Friends of theGamelan, will perform one show each onFriday at 8:15 and Sunday at 7:30, respec¬tively. The choir, under the direction ofPastor Maceo Woods, is among Chicago’sfinest gospel groups and they tour exten¬/ ' 1\ 'Wkf . ■«** ■ **** if | v\' JbA JRhMijHfr m. flfiL Jp % SaFT »ZW,,r mm Ralph Stanley — Bluegrass Legendsively. The Gamelan, an orchestra of In¬donesian tuned percussion instruments, isalso from Chicago and uses instrumentswhich came to town for the 1893 Colum¬bian Exposition. Neither group will pres¬ent a workshop.Cathy Fink and Bud Hunt are both old-time banjo pickers, but they come fromvery different backgrounds. According toLaura Gloger, Cathy Fink is ‘‘a collegepicker made good.” Now based in theWa-shington, DC area, her repertoire includesboth country and early jazz tunes. She canbe seen in the Friday night concert. Re¬member the old Bud & Spud Show backfrom radio’s heyday? Bud’s alive and pick¬ing and you can catch his act on Saturdayand Sunday nights. These two will bothhave their banjos at the workshop withRalph Stanley on Saturday at 10; Cathywill stick around for the next workshop onthe songs of working people.Irish musicians John McGreevy on fiddle,Joe Shannon on uillean pipes, and Liz Car-roll on button accordion and fiddle willgrace Mandel Hall on Friday and Sundaynights with their exhilarating melodies.The two fiddlers can also be heard in thefiddle workshop on Sunday at 11.Also from the British Isles comes singerand squeeze box player Lou Killen. With arich voice and an even richer knowledge ofsongs and tales, he is to be experienced atthe Friday and Saturday night concertsand at following workshops: Songs ofWorking People, Saturday at 11; Folk¬tales of Britain, Sunday at 10; and Path¬ways of Celtic Tradition, Sunday at 1.What do you know about the culture ofIndiana? Dillon Bustin is from Bloomingtonwhere they take this sort of thing quiteseriously. He has made a film about Hoo-sier fiddler and songwriter, Lotus Dickey.This film, “Water from Another Time,” andanother of Bustin’s films, “Hohenberger’sBrown Country,” will be shown on Sundayat 12:30 in the Ida Noyes Library. Bustin,Dickey, and hammer dulcimer player LindaEmery will perform Friday night and Sat¬urday afternoon. Bustin and Dickey willparticipate in a workshop on music andCultural identity on Saturday at noon, andDickey will show his stuff at the fiddleworkshop on Sunday at 11.As Appalachian music has become theuniversal folk music in North America, An¬dean folk music is heard in cafes through¬out the Spanish-speaking world. Sabia, anensemble of four women from L.A., brings this hauntingly beautiful sound of flutes,guitars, and rhythm instruments to theconcert hall Saturday afternoon and eve¬ning. The group will be at Ida Noyes from11-1 for consecutive workshops on work¬ing people and cultural identity.In a triumph over red tape, the Societyhas imported the group Eritage from Mon¬treal. Their music is Quebecois, the classicFrench-Canadian folk music, and consistsmainly of ballads and dance tunes ofFrench and Celtic influence Marc Benoit,an Eritage musician, performs the cloggingand step-dancing which is distinct to thismusic, and will be taking part in a danceworkshop at 2 on Sunday. Members of thegroup will also speak in a Sunday work¬shop. Quebequois music is popular on theEast Coast but has not been “discovered”by Chicagoans and so the Society hopes toprovide a delightful introduction.Robin Kessinger isn’t even known on theEast Coast. He is a young flatpicker fromMason, West Virginia and placed well atnational competitions in '82 and 83. Hehas just put out his first record. The Soci¬ety heard him on a rebroadcasting of the1982 Winfield Fiatpicking contest and hadto have him. He also plays mandolin andwill be accompanied by his brother DanKessinger.Jessie Mae Hemphill is a musician whosemusic none of the Folklore people knowhow to describe. She plays an electric gui¬tar, but requested a “simple amplifier.”From Senatobia, Miss., Jessie Mae was in¬fluenced by traditions of fife and drummusic and blues and by both sides of herfamily. Jessie made a 45, most of thewords on which are “Boogie Baby.” Shewill be taking part in the Sunday guitarworkshop.Mama Yancy and Erwin Heifer havebeen playing together at the festival formany years, and have finally made a re¬cord together on Erwin's new label — RedBeans Records. At 88 Mama doesn’t per¬form much but she still wows the audiencesat the Festival.Performer’s records will be sold duringthe concerts and the workshops. Anyonewho plays music at any level is encouragedto bring instruments to Ida Noyes as dur¬ing the day Saturday and Sunday therewill be many informal jam sessions.Tickets for performances are availableat Reynold’s Club box office; 962-7300.Workshops are free.

The second half of theplay centers on Marlene, who runsthe Top Girls employment agencyand is a top girl herself.

These are depressingand scary. Next, “Teenage Lust,” aseries made in the '70s of kids mak¬ing out, swimming, and fucking inTulsa and other kids hanging out on42nd Street in New York. These areless harsh, but have their shocks.Less evident but still surprising isthe fact that the two groups of pic¬tures are constructed in very similarways — surprising because ofClark's different roles in their mak¬ings. For "Tulsa, ” Clark photo¬graphed his friends as they didthemselves irreparable damage; for“Lust,” kids ten or 15 years youngerthan himself engaged in much lessdeadly pastimes. As befits the re¬ception of an observing outsider, thesecond group appears iess spontane¬ous — there is for example muchmore explicit recognition accordedthe camera — yet one perceivesthroughout a fascination with vigor,passion, death. Or rather, with thespectacle of these — Clark's unima¬ginative selection and compositionare counterbalanced by an emphasison stark, visceral black and whitetones. But if “Tulsa” looks like a so¬cial and photographic accident,“Lust” betrays a simple strategy:show the self-destructive energy ofyouth by a straightforward portray¬al of kids performing “outrageous”acts.

Last weekBruce King offered his pickings for the fin¬est rock music of 1983. He included an ap¬praisal of Chicago radio, “Despite newpromotional slogans, absolutely no sign ofnew music life exists on commercial Chica¬go radio." In the fall of 1983 ProgressiveMedia, a national publication for progres¬sive noncommercial and commercial radiostations, polled their professional readersto learn their choices for the best noncom¬mercial and commercial radio stations.Their choices were WNUR and WXRT —both are Chicago radio stations. A nationalvote among radio professionals suggeststhat Chicagoans take pride in the finest“progressive" commercial radio station.Bruce, why not tune your dial to 93 FM,WXRT?A native Chicagoan, I have been listen¬ing to WXRT for ten years. Satisfied withtheir creative format and respectful of the“progressive" quality they have main¬tained, I wanted to learn more about theinner workings of this radio station. I metwith Norm Winer, the station's ProgramDirector, who teaches much about thestruggles of producing and maintainingquality in commercial radio.VS: Not only was WXRT named “Station ofthe Year," but also you were named “Pro¬gram Director of the Year.” Were you alsohonored by Progressive Media voters?NW: No, our awards were from a more tra¬ditional trade publication in the industry.The publication is called Album Network.It’s highly respected. It comes out everyweek and lists the top records beingplayed station by station. They have ayear-end poll in which their readers, con¬sisting exclusively of Program Directorsand Music Directors from radio stationsaround the country, vote in a number of ca¬tegories. I was voted Program Director ofthe Year, and this was announced in De¬cember of 1983.This recognition was especially nice be¬cause there is a media bias against theMidwest. People are very much aware ofwhat is happening on the Coasts, whetherit’s New York where radio really stinks orLos Angeles where radio is fashionablebut too trendy. Chicago radio, however, isexciting. Even if you don’t like rock androll, in other formats — top 40 or adultcontemporary — there is always some¬body trying to do something. Whether it’sa new programmer or air personality,someone or something lends an air of ex¬citement and competition, which is partlywhat it's all about. It’s nice for stations inthe Midwest to gain that recognition. Peo¬ple are finally aware that there’s some¬thing happening here. There's always thathaughty attitude, that Coastal bias in proach. We used to feature extremely eso¬teric music. Our featured artists were bi¬zarre combinations such as John Cage andJudy Collins. We had a unique approach.We would not even run pre-recorded com¬mercials. As a result, though, we had littlemoney.VS: Then why do you run pre-recorded com¬mercials now?NW: Advertising is the sole basis of reve¬nue for a commercial radio station. Thebulk of money available in advertising re¬quires that you run a pre-recorded com-merical. At that point in time, we didn’thave any ratings at all, and ratings arewhat enable you to get an advertisingagency’s money. Although people mightsuspect that we get money from anythingelse we do, such as concert promotions,none of that bears any money for us. Theonly thing we can do to make money is tosell advertising. We sell only a limitedtime per hour, a maximum of 9 minutes perhour of commercials. There’s a certainprice affixed to each minute or 30-secondchunk of time, and depending on how highour ratings are, as determined by the rat¬ing company called ARBITRON, we be¬come either much more or less attractive toadvertisers. The ad agencies looking atthose ratings don’t have time to come tothe city to determine which station is thebetter one or more fun to listen to...what¬ever. All they have to go by are these ri¬diculous numbers based on statistical sur¬veys. When there are major fluctuations inthe ratings, it affects a station’s fate. Theratings game is a fact we have to live with,even though as a system it seems unfair.There are certain things a radio stationcan do to make themselves do better inthis game. One of those things is to adver¬tise ourselves to reach a broader audi¬ence.VS: But advertising WXRT worries some ofus. With your Listener’s Poll, for instance,a larger audience may vote for music thatisn’t as fine as the music you now play.Won’t advertisting cause you to changeyour format for the worse?NW: Some radio stations do base their ap¬proach on greed or the bottom-line, but wenever have. We are not part of a majorcorporation. We are owned by one man,Dan Lee, who has very high ideals. He hasalways lost money with WXRT up until ayear or two ago. He has other ways ofmaking money, so the pressure is not on usto be his sole source of income. He doesn’texpect us to make him millions and millionsof dollars, which would require us to makethe kinds of sacrifices we’d need to makein order to be a mass appeal radio station.We know we are appealing to a very limit¬ed segment of the audience, and we alsoknow that if we do it right and if we do itwell, there will be enough advertising rev¬‘‘...whether it’s New York where radioreally stinks or Los Angeles whereradio is fashionable but too trendy.”media, and people don’t give us enoughcredit — not just our station but our city.As a matter of fact, I know a few peoplewho have attended the University of Chi¬cago, who as freshmen have said, “Chica¬go — there’s nothing going on here.” Aftera while, they realize there’s a whole lotgoing on here. It takes some time to learnabout it.VS: What does a Program Director do?NW: What first popped into my mind was awise-guy answer, “What doesn’t a Pro¬gram Director do?" Anyway, one of thethings I do is hire all of the disk jockeysand fire any who don’t measure up.VS: What do you mean by “measure up”?NW: We’ve gone through a major change instaff since I first came here in 1979. Nowour turnover rate here is minimal andthat’s partly because I’m so selective whenhiring. I know what qualities I’m lookingfor. In brief, I want a human — a personwith real human qualities. By that I meanintelligence, a sense of humor, political in¬terests and consciousness, sensitivity, avery broad-based knowledge of musicthat goes beyond white rock and roll, andthe ability to communicate. They should beable to communicate not only with me,which is essential from a selfish stand¬point, but also with their colleagues andaudience. They should also be aware of thelarger picture: what WXRT tries to do, andto an extent has succeeded at, is to adhereto loftier goals than most radio stationsdo.We are now 11 years old. We used to beviewed as the idealistic, small-time radiostation because there was no money inwhat we were doing. In the beginning wewere only on in the evenings, and as timewent on, we tried to broaden our ap¬ enue there to support us for years andyears. We’ve been fortunate in many re¬spects: working for the man we do, sharinghis goals, and achieving those limitedgoals with our listenership. We don’t haveto stoop to some of the tricks that otherradio stations have had to in the past.VS: You’re talking of goals. What areWXRT’s goals?NW: Our goals are to have a quality radiostation and to survive with enough moneyso that we can keep the people who workhere happy. That may sound simplistic, butit’s what we came here with and what wewant to maintain. It’s difficult because ofour approach. We don’t want to be limitedto playing just a handful of records. Wewant to play everything. Our record li¬brary includes more records and more dif¬ferent types of records than any othercommercial radio station in the country.VS: WXRT is noticeably different becauseof its eclectic approach. You play a broadrange of music, yet you still are selectivewithin that range. What is your criteria forselection? Who makes those choices?NW: This also ties in with your questionabout a Program Director’s responsibili¬ties. One of the other things I do involveschoosing our music format. Several yearsago when I began, I was told that I wasbeing hired to further WXRT’s image as aprogressive radio station. I had alreadydone this in Boston at WBCN and in SanFranciso at KSAN, one of the first progres¬sive radio stations dating back to themid-1960’s. I came here because this for¬mat was disintegrating. It was not amoney maker, and it didn’t do well in rat¬ings. I knew there was hope for this formatat WXRT.A year and a half down the line, we found that our progressive approachwasn’t quite working out. What happenedwhen I first came here was that for thefirst time in Chicago commercial radio, weplayed English bands that at the time weretruly progressive. There was a time in theearly 70’s when bands such as Genesis,The Moody Blues and Gentle Giant wereprogressive. But by 1979 these bands hadbecome either mainstream or dinosaurs. Itbecame necessary for us to redefine whatprogressive music was all about. That’swhat we did. The impact for listeners, how¬ever, was jarring. Crosby, Stills & Nashand Moody Blues listeners had not heardanything quite like The Jam or The Clash orThe Dead Boys, except on college radiostations. Listeners were taken aback, andthe results for us were poor ratings. Wedecided to reorient our approach towardsan older audience. We took the edge off ofsome of the music we were playing andtried to do some other things differently tobecome a mature rock station, rather thantrying to satisfy everybody. Thereby, weeliminated ourselves from direct competi¬tion with The Loop, which was then crank¬ing out heavy metal music, and withWMET, which was playing youthful, 3-chord, painful metallic music. We no longerwanted to play anything like that, so westopped playing anything even close tothat. We never play Def Leopard, VanHalen, Journey, or Styx. When REO Speed-wagon became a cliche, we simply stoppedplaying them. We knew that if we werealso going to play reggae, jazz and blues,we could only stretch things so far. Wecouldn’t play everything for everybody orwe’d have nothing. We then redefined thesubstance of the radio station, which hasproved successful. We aligned that with anad campaign, “We’re not a station for 14-year olds,” which said that we would notplay painful music. We were also letting14-year olds who didn’t like painful musicknow that they could listen to us as an al¬ternative. This seems to have worked.We’re not as progressive as we oncewere, simply because we’ve defined our¬selves more narrowly. Relatively speak¬ing, however, we are as progressive asstations come throughout the country.Until recently, some stations in the countryplayed just new music and called them¬selves “Rock of the 80’s.” They had a li¬mited life span, though, because theyplayed nothing else. Our goal is to play asmuch music as we possibly can that makessense together, that is cohesive. While westill play Crosby, Stills & Nash and TheMoody Blues, we put it into perspectiveand with newer music and late 70’s musicsuch as The Clash and The Jam. We offerthe latest and the greatest, including im¬ports and songs not available in recordstores or on any other radio stations. Weplay local bands, jazz, blues, spoken-wordrecords, 50’s music, big band music, any¬thing we can sensibly combine. Now BlackSabbath wouldn’t make sense on top of allthat because they have no musical sub¬stance, so we don’t play them.When new records come in and we pre¬pare for our weekly New Releases Day,each announcer submits his or her sugges¬tions for air play. Along with John Mervos,our Music Director, we all meet for ourweekly music meeting. We listen to every¬thing and decide what is best — what is ap¬propriate for us. Sometimes we wait aweek. Sometimes we talk with other radiostations like ours in the country to see ifthey’re playing a particular records andwhat its response has been. We do playmore new records than any other commer¬cial radio station that I know of. We addan average of 7 to 10 new records everyweek, compared to the 1 to 2 nationalaverage. In fact, most stations usually addonly one song from a new album, whereaswe add as many songs that will work. Forexample, we’ve added 6 songs form thenew Pretenders album.VS: Why do you still call yourselves a“rock”station when you play such a vari¬ety of music?NW: It’s the easiest name people can get ahandle on, and it’s also the easiest way toput it. We haven’t come up with a bettername, and I’m open for suggestions. Thereare hoky names: WKQX used to call them¬selves "The Adult Rock Station.” We arean adult rock station, but that sounds toostodgy because we are not just an adultrock station. We appeal to a lot of people.Adult rock station sounds like somethingour parents would listen to, and my cur¬rent definition of rock and roll is music thatour parents would object to. Somehow ourname needs to have that vitality and re¬belliousness implied by rock and roll, andyet one that makes it palatable to a largeraudience — people working on MichiganAvenue and La Salle Street. “Chicago’sFinest Rock” describes it. If we said “Chi¬cago's Finest Rock, Jazz, Reggae, Blues, Norm WinerComedy,” it would be too complicated andtoo confusing. Obviously, it is understated,but we hope that when people listen to us,they’ll catch on.One thing we have learned is that if wetell people what we are playing, theymight not like it as much. In other words, ifwe say, “And now here is some reggaewith Bob Marley,” the audience has an at¬titude about it. If we say, “And now hereis Bob Marley,” they are not as negative.It seems the preconception of a category,which critics apply, is not needed on theradio. All the music we play in one way oranother fits together, whether it is EugeneOrmandy conducting the PhiladelphiaSymphony or Buddy Holly. Some way oranother it makes sense because some¬where along the line everybody has some¬thing in common with one another. Whenwe tell the audience what they are hear¬ing, “Here’s some jazz with Weather Re¬port,” they think, “Oh, jazz! That allsounds alike,"and they change the station.But if they/ hear it fit in after another songand then it moves into yet another song,and all of it welds nicely together, theymight like it. So we try not to put as manylabels on things.VS: Did you want to say any more about aProgram Director’s responsibilities?NW: I basically decide what we'll do andwhat we’ll sound like. I decide how muchnews we’ll run, when our newscasts shouldbe run, who should be on the air at whattimes, what they should sound like, andwhat music they should play. The disk jock¬eys and I deal very closely together. Beingin the creative capacity in which they are— they don’t just carry out orders — theyhave a great amount of freedom when put¬ting together their radio shows, and sothey need to have a basic understandingof WXRT’s philosophy. As far as the an^nouncers are concerned, whatever is in thelibrary is available to them under certainconditions. At any point in time duringtheir shows, they have a choice of15-20,000 song titles to choose from. Theymake that choice from a particular catego¬ry, excluding other categories dependingupon what they've played. Ours is not aformat like top 40’s, let’s say, where a li¬mited number of songs are repeated overand over again. We have rules, in fact,that prevent them from playing a song toooften. Old songs can’t be played more thana few times every few weeks. The samedisk jockey can’t play an old song morethan once a month. No one can play thesame song on his or her show more thanthree times a week. This prevents peoplefrom hearing worn-out material.VS: What do you think of your competi¬tors?NW: We are in a strange situation rightnow. We have become successful, we’reproud to say, without having to sell out todo it. We are still doing the same things;it’s just that it’s become popular. The musicwe play, we’ve been playing for years.This year The Eurythmics had a hit record.Men at Work were successful, though peo¬ple are tired of Men at Work now. CultureClub is a superstar. Dexy’s Midnight Run¬ners and The Clash have had hit records.We didn’t plan on that; we played them be¬fore they had hit records. In fact, we play4—FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1984-THE GREY CITY JOURNALtheir hit records less than we used to andplay their other material more. By de¬fault, though, we became mainstream andmore listenable to people who ordinarilydidn’t listen to us because they thought wewere disorienting. Now that we are play¬ing their favorites — now that Culture Clubis their favorite and Boy George is some¬one that they either want to adopt or todrown — we have ratings we neverdreamed of before. Again this wasn’t doneby stooping to the depths other radio sta¬tions have had to stoop to.VS: Your news team has also won awards.How important are they to your overallsuccess?NW: One of the most important thingsabout our station is how well we relate toour community. We are a Chicago station,and the reason we are successful is we dosatisfy the needs of our community. One ofthe ways we do that is with a powerfulnews department and a dynamic public af¬fairs approach.We have a news staff of only three peo¬ple; they have all been here for at leastfive years. Over the years they have ac¬cumulated awards for special news castsand shows. Charlie Meyerson does themorning news. Neil Parker does the after¬noon news cast. Marge Halprin does mostof the work at City Hall; she’s our corre¬spondent throughout the city, and she isalso our back-up anchor. There are alsosome college interns who assist them, a se¬mester at a time. But basically that is ourpaid staff, and they do a magnificent jobof putting news on the air in a very concisefashion. They are not invisible either.Some other radio stations have felt thatnews is a tune out. “Nobody wants to hearnews. If they want to hear news, let themwatch television or read a newspaper orsomething.” That is not what we think ouraudience wants. News never gets much ac¬claim, and when people are asked what isyour favorite radio station and why, sel¬dom do people mention news. That is justthe way people are. I believe, though, thatif we didn’t have the news we have and ifwe didn’t have ten newscasts a day, Mon¬day through Friday, we wouldn’t be as lis¬tenable as we are. People would have togo elsewhere to find the information. Idon’t just mean weather and sports scoresbut also coverage of the excitement in Chi¬cago’s politics. Our news format makes usa more exciting radio station. Thank good- ness we are in a city where there is excite¬ment. I have lived in San Franciso wherethere is nothing going on locally: boringcouncil meetings and just nothing goes on.But Chicago’s front page is a soap operaeveryday. We make sure that peopleknow what is going on from a differentperspective. If we have tapes from theday to day excitement, we will run some ofthat on the air to make it that much morelively. It’s a very important part of whatwe do.We also have our Sunday night inter¬view show, which is called Talking Head¬lines. That is a show with some excitementbecause of the people they have corailedon it — ranging from the mayor to all ofthe other controversial, fiery figures inChicago’s politics. That is just fun! That isgiving people what they want, which islocal flavor and color. Terri Hemmert is ourDirector of Public Service. Among her jobs,in addition to doing her morning show andhosting Jazz Transfusion, Terri also hostsa biweekly talk show, alternating withTalking Headlines. She interviews peopleof public interest: authors, film directors,sometimes people involved with Beatlememorabilia, and other interesting peo¬ple. In addition, she also prepares anddirects a small staff of interns, who pre¬pare all the public service announcementswe run on the air. Whenever you hear usannouncing a pre-movie screening or cross¬country skiing in Evanston, that is all stuffthat Terri has compiled and prepared withher department and made available to us.We have a box in the studio of about 60odd announcements we run throughout thecourse of each day.Part of our role in the community isbeing involved in certain events, rangingfrom muscular dystrophy fund-raising tothe softball game we play every year. Allof that is very important to the radio sta¬tion. Radio is usually a business that peo¬ple travel through. When people hit aradio station, they might be on their wayfrom point A to point B, and all they arelooking for is a line in their resumes. All ofthe people here...well, the majority of thepeople here...most of them are either na¬tive Chicagoans or have been here most oftheir lives. I am one of the people whohave been here the least amount of time,and I have been here for almost fiveyears. It’s clearly something more than astop along the way for me. There is a com¬mitment to the community here at WXRTthat is impressive. Everyone takes itseriously. They are not just here to make akilling and then to move on. They are in¬terested and concerned, and I think that isimpressive.VS: WXRT is also unique because of its Fea¬tured Artists concept. Every day of theweek, you single out two artists who getmost of the air time. How are featured ar¬tists selected?NW: That is an arduous process that I doonce a month. I have a file, which I wouldshow you but unfortunately it’s now homefor the weekend because I have to work onFebruary. Anyway, I have lists of artistswho could be featured. Most of them wehave featured already, but there are alsopotential features. This list comes fromprevious Featured Artists cards. It is acompilation of all the featured artists whohave ever been. What I do is see who hasbeen featured most recently. We try to putas much space as possible between fea¬tured artists — with leading featured ar¬tists, there is usually a three to four monthdelay. The Featured Artists concept wassomething that I inherited from my prede¬cessor. It’s a time-consuming process, andit’s not even fun. But people love it. Wehave done surveys — and the number oneresponse was that people like the Fea¬tured Artists concept. So we do it anyway.It just takes a lot of time.I have one list that tells who is coming totown, another of albums due to come out,another of upcoming special shows. I thentry to make all of them work out together.For example, Saturday we featured San¬tana, so Santana was on the BBC RockHour that night. We hadn’t featured San¬tana for four months. Next month we willprobably feature The Pretenders becausetheir new album is out. Last month I didn’tfeature them because I knew their albumwas due. They will be coming to town,though, the month after that, so maybe Iwill hold off for another month.I also have a list of pairings — who wehave paired up in the past so that we don’t duplicate that. Some pairings just don’twork, like George Thorogood and Joni Mit¬chell. It’s a matter of finding someone whowill compensate for the other person. Thisway if people don’t like one, they may stilllike the other artist.There's another list that has the days ofthe week on which artists were featured.We don’t want to feature someone contin¬ually on the same day of the week. Wewant to bounce them around. For instance,we will feature Steely Dan on a Mondayand a Tuesday and a Thursday and then ona Saturday. Saturdays are a big day, sowe’re careful not to feature someone ob¬scure on Saturdays. For instance, Joan Ar-matrading would not be a good Saturdayfeatured artist.What also makes choosing featured ar¬tists difficult is that there aren't thatmany secondary featured artists whohave enough material to be featured. To¬morrow, for example we are featuringDuran Duran for the first time. They justhave three albums and there aren’t thatmany songs on them worth playing. Sothere will be less Duran Duran than youhave heard with other featured artists.Terri may play one song, Tom Marker mayplay two, and then three songs may beplayed on each following show. It dependson the featured artist. Each day that wefeature an artist, the announcers are toldwhat their quota is for any given day, sothat they don’t play all the good songs bythat person and so that they play themoften enough. In other words, if we fea¬ture The Rolling Stones, I would suggestthey play at least one Stones track everyhour.Back to your earlier question, anotherarea I am involved in as Program Directoris station promotion. That is somethingthat can be either exciting or terrible onthe air. If it sounds hokey or jive or if it’s acall-in, we don’t do it. We feel it is beneathus. Yet we do initiate write-in promotions.We give away theater and movie tickets.In fact, in terms of give-aways, we don’tlike to give away anything that is lessthan significant. We don’t want to fill upthe air. We know that people hate commer¬cials and would rather hear music. So, wefigure we should play music. What we’vetried to do is restrict promotions to some¬thing that will sound fun on the air. If it isproduced or pre-recorded, we want it to befun to listen to, whether or not you decideto participate. The David Bowie Contest, ifyou remember, had people guessing thecorrect sequence of songs from a pre-re¬corded barrage of excerpts. The winnerwas sent to Berlin to see David Bowie'sconcert there. The XRTV promotion hadpeople identifying old television shows bylistening to their theme songs. There, win¬ners were sent to Los Angeles and NewYork. The XRTV promotion was fun even ifyou didn’t want to play. You could listenand remember, “That’s the theme fromThe Rifle Man’ or ‘Perry Mason.’”At this point, I saw my opportunity totell Norm Winer how much I enjoy WXRT'sAnnual Listeners’ Poll. At the end of eachyear, WXRT asks its listeners to write invotes for the five best albums of the year,the best concert of the year, along with fa¬vorite film and television show. A day inDecember is set aside to play the top 20albums, and if your name is selected atrandom from all the entries received, youwin all of the year's new releases. The Lis¬teners' Poll also reflects the station's in¬terest in their audience's musical prefer¬ences.After Norm Winer learned my 1983 fa¬vorites, we again reversed roles and I con¬tinued tv interview him.VS: What kind of audience are you tryingto appeal to?NW: More than young teens, but for thesake of advertisers, we try to reflect alarger audience among 18-49 year olds.Currently, because of the economy, one ofthe most sought after age groupings is25-34 year old men.VS: Why?NW: There is a population bulge there—thepost-war baby boom. That’s also a very affluent group. They buy imported beers,stereo systems, cars, airline tickets, andhouses. They are the young professionalsstarting families and so on. We are cur¬rently and have been for the last yearnumber one in that age group, and that isbetter than anyone could ask for. Every¬body wants to get them. Stations up anddown the dial try in one way or another,ranging from WKOX to The Loop.VS: Do you think your recent success inthese ratings will restrict the station’s pro¬gressive approach?NW: We are always redefining what wedo Many stations that became successfuleventually lost it because they became tooconservative. We are by definition a pro¬gressive station. Our approach will contin¬ue to try to reflect the verge of new move¬ments and musical trends and tastes. Wetake pride and pleasure in being the firststation to play new artists—eventuallyleading to their success. That’s alwaysbeen our approach and will remain our ap¬proach. We will not sit back and rest on ourlaurels. We will not become conservative.The only way we can avoid that is (and Ivowed this to my staff a year ago when wefirst became successful) to remain crazy.We will not sit back and become conserva¬tive reactionaries, which most radio sta¬tions do. That’s not what we based our suc¬cess on. We will continue to be different,an alternative.It means that just as when I came here.The Moody Blues and Crosby, Stills & Nashwere viewed as progressive, similarly,doing things now that seem progressivewill not be so later. Playing Men at Workand Culture Club is no big deal now. Thatdoen’t mean that we should be playinghard-core punk because they’re not neces¬sarily geared towards radio or our audi¬ence and that degree of mass exposure.It’s good that college stations have thetime and the vehicle to expose that musicto a more concentrated audience—an audi¬ence more receptive to that. Our audiencewould be less receptive to such music andwe would lose more of our audience thanwe want to. When the right music comesalong, we will play it though; that is ourfunction.VS: You are trying to influence Chicago’smusical taste, though, aren’t you?NW: Sure. We want people to hear the bestmusic. The power we have is access to aradio station—a 50,000 watt radio sta¬tion. If we play something, we know peo¬ple will hear it. But they will listen to itonly if the package that it’s in, meaningthe radio station it’s on, fulfills all theirneeds. If we play too much music that theydon’t like or music we think they shouldhear but don't want to hear, it would bethe equivalent of cramming music downtheir throats. We have to make the rightchoices and do everything else right-meaning news, not too much and not too lit¬tle and at the right times, meaning theright personalities, and all that stuff. Wehave to do everything else right in orderto have any impact or else people won’t belistening.We have had a loyal core of listeners,200,000 people who lived and died byWXRT. We didn't do things then as well aswe could have. We were gearing ourselvestoo much towards an esoteric base. Nowwe have broadened ourselves, whichmeans we might have diluted the totalproduct. On the other hand, we are stillplaying music people may have not heardbefore. The impact we now have, reachingpeople who might not have listened toWXRT before, allows us to introduce an ar¬tist or a way of thinking or a news story.We need to satisfy people on many levelsor else they just won't be there when thetime comes for the cultural payoff.VS: You’ve just criticized the exclusive eso¬teric approach. Terri Hemmert also recent¬ly said in an article in The Reader that shehopes “to blow WXRT's esoteric image outof the water.” What’s wrong with an eso¬teric approach?NW: Terri is a 10-year veteran who re¬members WXRT playing wierd, oddball ar¬tists who didn’t have much of a following.continued on page 7“We have had a loyal core of lis¬teners, 200,000 people who lived anddied by WXRT.”THE GREY CITY JOURNAL-FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1984-5RockefellerChapelHHHSUNDAYJanuary 29,19849 a.m.Ecumenical Serviceof Holy Communion11 a.m.University Religious ServiceBERNARD O.

Ellis Ave. y 4i6—FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1984—THE GREY CITY JOURNALALIEN'S UNDHLDOGby Abigail Asher“Alrightcha finished? You finished?Cause I have the greatest Danny Rosestory of them all." One of the six comedi¬ans in Woody Allen’s new film, BroadwayDanny Rose, breaks into the conversationat the Carnegie Deli. They’ve been tradingfunny stories about their favorite smalltime theatrical agent, interrupting eachother amicably, their talk overlapping inthe lazy, realistic way that characterizedthe get-togethers in Diner. In fact theseguys probably have been hanging out atthe Carnegie since the 50s: they have astore of common memories as well as indi¬vidual tales to teli. In short flashes, withtheir narration, we see Danny Rose — hisflowered shirt collars reaching far beyondthe lapels of his loud plaid jacket; his ges¬tures punctuating every word, irrepress¬ible even at gunpoint; and his unshake-able faith in his clients. His talent roster is laughable: he seeks gigs at Catskills re¬sorts for a one-legged tap-dancer and ahusband-and-wife team of balloon-fold¬ers.This story probably is the funniestDanny Rose story. It’s about Danny'sheroic efforts to relaunch the career of LouCanova, a boy singer of the 50s, now run¬ning to fat, liquor and adultery. Attempt¬ing to appease Tina Vitale, a Mafia widowwho is Canova’s mistress and lucky charm,hapless Danny (Woody Allen) is draggedfrom his gritty showbiz home into thewealthy dangerous world of Mafia ven¬dettas. Tina is all nervous energy andparadox: a tough hedonist who religiouslyconsults the spiritualist Angelina. Mia Far¬row’s portrayal of Tina seems to consistlargely of a facade of teased blonde curls,sunglasses, ruffled blouses, and the poin¬tiest bra since Annette Funicello. But Far¬row adequately backs up these charac-Woody Allen and Mia FarrowSAVAGE? LOVE?continued from p. 5They may have been DJs’ favorites, butthey never appealed to the public. It tookus some time to come to grips with that. Wehad to say, "Hold it! Let's look at this ar¬tist’s significance, and what significancehe has for our audience. Maybe weshouldn’t play him as much or maybe notat all." We used to simply say, "Hey, I likeit. Let’s keep playing it." That is an esoter¬ic approach. And when you play an artistlike that and then follow it on the air withanother artist like that, then you make themistake of limiting your audience. We nowtry to better establish unknown artists byplaying one or two of their songs oftenenough to poll the audience for their re¬sponse. If we find that the artist is havingan impact, then we will play more of theirmaterial or make them a featured artist ortalk to The Park West about bringing themfor a budget show.The concerts WXRT has helped to spon¬sor in the past year include The Band, Gen¬esis, Jerry Garcia, Jean-Luc Ponty, ThePayolas, Spandau Ballet, DiMeola/DeLu-ca/McLaughlin, and Peter Gabriel.VS: Would you comment on rock as a popu¬lar art form?NW: That’s an essay in itself. What I likebest about rock and roll is its energylevel and its sociological significance, inthat it does reflect our time. Within certainsocio-economic groupings, it does reflectwhat is going on—at least it has for thelast 25 years. Through the days of ElvisPresley and The Beatles and Grand FunkRailroad and on and on to punk rock, rockand roll has always gained its strengthfrom youth—however that is defined—banding together against established cul¬tural tastes.Unfortunately, though, music and popu¬lar entertainment has a tendency to be¬come big business. Whenever anything issuccessful, whenever any artist or per¬former in any field attracts a following,someone will try to make money off ofthem. It’s happened enough in rock androll. For instance, as loveable as The Beat¬les were, they made a lot of money. PaulMcCartney is the wealthiest man in theworld. What’s the story I’ve heard? Everytime he goes to sleep, he wakes up with an¬other half million dollars from his publish¬ing company. To me, money and art takesomething away from each other.It’s one of the struggles we have towrestle with here at WXRT. We don’t wantour recent success to go to our heads and tochange our attitudes about the things wedo, and thus from staying where we are.Part of this is based on irreverence, Ithink—not taking anything too seriously,especially yourself. Rock musicians are su¬sceptible to this. As anti-establishment asthey are and as rebellious as the definitionof rock is, as soon as they make it, they de¬velop an attitude of arrogance—a come-in-see-me-backstage attitude—that then iso¬lates them from their audience.A popular art form—to break down thatterm literally—means that the artist is onewith the audience. More often than not,that is not the case. It can be reversed, butthe greed factor creates a distance be¬tween recognized artists and artists strug¬gling for some recognition. Once thosestruggling artists get ahead, they forgetwho put them there. The artists are so rareand so few who remember how they gotthere and try to maintain that vibrancy asopposed to burning themselves out or buy¬ing a mansion that removes them fromtheir fans, people and culture. That be¬comes a problem because they lose touchwith real people. They no longer have ahandle on what the people are about—their concerns. Just as people in mediadon’t know people’s real concerns becausethey're not dealing with real people. Theydon’t know any real people, they don’t goto places with normal people. They don’tknow what is truly of concern to people.Decisions made by the media elite aremade based on their limited knowledge ofreality. Most of the time, that just doesn’tinclude enough people. If they did re¬search, they could find out more, but eventhen they would probably ask the wrongquestions. Being shielded from reality is agreat danger that rock and roll stars andmedia figures confront all the time. Whatthey need to do—though this may not an¬swer your question—is painstakingly besure they are in touch with reality. Other¬wise, decisions they make will be based onfallacies, fabrications and their own delu¬sions.To write a rock and roll song, somethingthat will grab someone, you need to havea set of emotions yourself and an accurateperception of reality, the same is true of atelevision series. It should be devised witha real audience in mind—not just 8-yearolds. The same is true of radio. We don'thave a stereotype of radio listeners asidiots. That’s why some of those disk jock¬eys talk the way they do, "Hey, kids...”Our people are humans who are told to bereal, conversational, and to give the audi¬ence credit. The audience is smart, andthey know as much as we do, if not more.Unfortunately, as an art form, rock issometimes lacking that conscience. by Rainer MackApproaching Concrete Gothic Theater’smost recent production, a loose adapta¬tion of Sam Shepard's Savage/Love, one isimmediately intrigued by the project’sambitious and creative possibilities. Con¬ceived and directed by Mike Bael, the cur¬rent production isolates a series of poemsfrom Shephard’s play and builds an essen¬tially new drama around them. Unfortun¬ately, this adaptation, though thought-provoking and artistically enterprising,falls short in performance.Originally envisioned as a poetry read¬ing with percussive music accompaniment,Bael’s Savage/Love retains some of thenecessarily disjointed character of such aformat. Constructed as a series of shortdialogic vignettes, directly analogous tothe sequence of poems in a reading, thedrama loses a sense of fluidity in the tran¬sitions. This is counteracted to a degree byan obvious topical (though not necessarilythematic) unity, as the play presents aman and women proceeding through thevarious stages of a romantic relationship.One can, however, overlook and even ac¬cept the disjunctive quality of the play notonly by simply recognizing Bael’s point ofdeparture (which is, here, very impor¬tant), but also by absorbing oneself withineach vignette as if in a separate, thoughcomplementary, dramatic piece. The latteris possible in a good number of the gener¬ally well-crafted segments, and especiallythose in which there is music. In recogniz¬ing that the production arose out of aseries of poems, one is actually charmedby the dramatic construction (and again,especially with the deft employment ofmusic). Problems arise only when one ap¬proaches it as pure drama, at which time itfalls flat, structurally and aesthetically.There simply isn’t enough use of dramaticdevice in Bael's adaptation to achieve asolid theatrical narrative out of Shepard’spoems.Bael’s use of music in the production is asheer joy. With a very welcome compe¬tency, Dan Stetzel (on piano) and Jean Ma-jeski (singing), weave such songs as "Bodyand Soul,” "As Time Goes By," and "TheThrill is Gone” (with help from John Bowinon guitar), into the serialized progressionof the play. Essentially employed as com¬mentaries on the interaction of the play'stwo main characters, the songs are thank¬fully determinant (in language) when con¬ trasted with the more ambiguous and po¬etic dialogue. Staged as cocktail-loungeperformers, the musicians not only set athematically significant mood, but also di¬rectly enter into our understanding of theplay. Majeski in particular provides an in¬teresting counterpoint to the develop¬ments in the pictured romance. This, how¬ever, leads us into some confusion;namely, what is exactly meant by thetitle, Savage/Love?Bael’s adaptation presents us with thedevelopment of a romance, from starry-eyed first meeting, through various emo¬tional clashes, to ultimate reconciliation. Itis presumably the story of love, but how,or is it, really "savage?” We are intro¬duced to two characters, a man (MattDenkla) and a woman (Deborah Hills), whoproceed through a very typical romanticrelationship. The drama, owing not only toits length (it is only thirty minutes long),but also to its stuttered serial form, is un¬able to firmly establish a depth of emotionthat would suggest love. We tend to dis¬miss the characters, with their sketchyconstruction and often ambiguous dia¬logue, because we are not convinced thatthey are real; when we are kept from see¬ing their depth and three-dimensionality,they cease to become potent forces. It isinteresting that at one point the charac¬ters themselves actually state that theyare only "acting the lovers...acting thereconciliation.” Regrettably adding tothis problem is the rather stiff portrayalof the man by Denkla, and the essentiallynon-communicative quality of his and Hills’performance as dialogic partners. Also,Majeski interjects a rather cynical pre¬sence that would further suggest that thisromance should be laughed at, as if itwere no more than a parody. With this,one is tempted to think that the title Sav¬age/Love, is ironic, that what is normallyconsidered love, in all its savagry, is real¬ly just a farce. Yet, we are also bombard¬ed with suggestions of deep emotionalconflicts and traumas — building the impli¬cation that something on a grand and im¬portant scale is happening. This is accen¬tuated by the serious and soberinglighting (designed by Don McLellan), whichdramatically severs each vignette fromthe next. One begins to wonder if it is onlythe necessarily cursory quality of theserial, poetic construction, and the uncon¬vincing portrayals of the two main charac- HUMORteristics; and only momentarily, when shedrops her guard with Danny, does she loseher New Jersey accent and start talkinglike Diane Keaton.The catalyst in the story, Lou Canova,appears little; but his stereotypical char¬acter is competently played by Nick Apol¬lo Forte, a songwriter in his film debut.Canova, in glittery suits chosen by theloyal Danny, winks and flirts fattily withhis nightclub audiences, singing Mr.Forte's own songs.Danny Rose himself is ultimately myste¬rious. Like many of Woody Allen's per¬sonas, he is a nervous Jew, an atheist withcultural guilt; but Danny lives on Broad¬way. Unmarried, show business is his fami¬ly, and though he sometimes strikes anodd note — “I don’t mean to be didacticnor facetious” he begins — he is fluent inBroadway too — "we’re into a completedefinite type of situation here.”Along with the underdog humor inBroadway Danny Rose is underdog poi¬gnancy. "I thought this was a funnystory,” objects one of the comedians at theCarnegie, "it’s terrible.” Woody Allen isno longer asking us to pity neurotic UpperEast Siders, but truly unhappy peoplewith crummy lives. Much of the dialoguebetween Danny and Tina — the cameraclose enough to catch the gold "Tina” dan¬gling at her neck and the gold chai at his —is revealing and sad. As is Danny’sThanksgiving with his clients, a lonely-guymeal of turkey TV-dinners.The black-and-white cinematographyused is appropriate to this story, and theimages have been carefully thought out.Shot in the huge empty warehouses andabandoned spaces as well as the busierstreets of New York, the visual impact ofthe film is at times as bleak as the emo¬tional aspect. A long snot of a tugboatpoised in fog on the Hudson River is onlycomplemented by the tiny figure of DannyRose throwing up overboard.I was surprised to see the casting direc¬tor listed just after the three stars in theopening credits, but the tribute is just: thenumerous extras, especially in large gath¬erings at resorts or at Tina's "family"party create the perfect atmosphere forthe action. Details of characterization andphotography augment the force of thiswell-structured movie that, while unambi¬tious, is stylish, funny, and sad.ters that led one to ponder a more ironicinterpretation of the piece. Rather, Per¬haps, the title is suggesting that all love,regardless of scale, is powerful, dramatic,and ’savage.’ Here, then, the cynicism ofMajeski’s character could be seen as thatof a devil’s advocate, and not, as was sug¬gested before, that of an audience's advo¬cate (in inviting us to laugh along withher). There seems to be a lack of forcefuldirection in the presentation of the play,and a creative confusion in the conceptionof it.This thematic confusion is unfortunateconsidering the more handsome individualelements of the play. For instance, in addi¬tion to the choice and performance ofmusic, the stage set, with its stark garish¬ness, effectively creates a fitting mood ofnightclub melancholy. Though not entirelyworkable as a whole, the individual seg¬ments, or dialogues between the two char¬acters, are generally solid and enjoyable.With the interweaving of song and action,these segments gain a pleasant associa¬tion (beyond their typical coherence) andpace which makes the half-hour at thevery least entertaining and worthwhile.The production is interesting, and, with acertain amount of ambiguity, thought-pro¬voking. And it is free.
