The Chicago MaroonVolume 93, No. 31 ^The University of Chicago ©Copyright 1984 The Chicago Maroon Friday, February 3, 1984New newspaper on campusBy Victor I. KingArmed with a fresh editorialpolicy and innovative producti¬on techniques bound to capturethe attention of the Universitycommunity, The Spectator — anew, independent student pub¬lication — will appear oncampus Monday.At the present time, the un¬paid, embryonic staff consistsof Tom Elden, publisher; PhilPolishook, editor; Mike Ra-bieh, editorial editor; JuliusSantise, features editor; AarneElias, production consultant;and Kenn Bloom, businessmanager.Approximately 13,000 copiesof the free 12-page, inauguralissue will be printed. At first,the paper will come out month¬ly. The staff hopes to switch toa bi-weekly schedule as soonas the financial base grows.The first issue will covercampus unions, US industrialpolicy, the AT&T breakup, aman who literally lived in Re-genstein Library, Walter Mon¬dale, the Kissinger Report,and Reagan’s foreign policy. Itwill also contain an interviewwith business school professorWilliam Fackler.The ideological approach ofThe Spectator is worth noting.“Its editorial policy will tendto be conservative. But thatmeans a lot of things,’’ Elden,the publisher, explained. “Weare offering the ideas of freemarket, George Will, as wellas Edmund Burke, and peoplewith those types of views.”Features Editor Santiseagreed, saying, “I think TheSpectator might be more con¬servative as a general philoso¬phy.”Elias, a technical consultantwho stressed that he did notnecessarily subscribe to theopinions of the paper, pointedout, “If you look at the board ofadvisors, you can tell that it’smade up of conservatives.”On this board are Universityof Chicago faculty membersYale Brozen, Sam Peltzman,J. W. Henry Watson, and Nath¬an Tarcov. Burton Pines of theHeritage Foundation andThomas Johnson of the Ameri¬can Enterprise Institute makeup the other two of the half-dozen. Elden said no moneywas given to the publication byanyone on the board.A fundraising documentwritten a year ago by TheSpectator staff and obtainedby the Maroon revealed moreabout the paper: “Presently,there is no effective forum forconservative thought at Chica¬go. We would like to provide the means by which thatthought could be expressed.”Elsewhere in the prospectus,the staff wrote, “Even with theexistence of the conservativejournal; Counterpoint, stu¬dents on Chicago’s largely lib¬eral campus are not familiarwith conservative views ofmost issues.”When asked to elaborate onwhat was meant by the assess¬ment of the U of C as a liberalcampus, Elden replied, “Letme put it this way — I thinkthat in the country as a whole,people tend not to understandcertain ideas about economicsand politics. This university isa sample of the nation as awhole in that respect. What wefound is that only some 5 per¬cent have taken classes inbasic economics.”People are anxious to seewhat the publication will offer.U of C Democrat President Jo¬shua Salisbury explained,“Not having seen the paper,it’s hard for me to comment.My reaction will be based onits objectivity and type of anal¬ysis. If it comes out being gen¬erally academic and objectivein tone, I’ll be appreciative.”“If this publication is run¬ ning under the name of Specta¬tor,” he said, “they shoulddowntone any biases on thenewspaper. Maybe they areusing the name to mask it, sopeople will pick it up.”Noting that The Spectatorpremieres on Ronald Reagan’sbirthday, Salisbury added, “Iftheir publication turns out likeThe Dartmouth Review — ra¬cist, non-egalitarian — I don’tthink I would care for it.”The staff of The Spectatoremphatically denied any simi¬larity between this paper andthe controversial DartmouthReview. Opinion/editorial edi¬tor Rabieh emphasized, “Wedon’t want to offend anybody.We’re hoping to educate peo¬ple.”A financial link to The Dart¬mouth Review may be estab¬lished in the future. “The Insti¬tute for Educational Affairsand The Dartmouth Revieware getting a bunch of nationaladvertisers to advertise acrossthe country,” Elden said. “Wemay or may not join it.”Andrew Pickens, editor ofthe independent DartmouthUniversity publication out¬lined the organization: “Whatwe are trying to do is put 20 to Spectator Publisher Tom Elden (left) and EditorPolishook Phil30 to 50 school publications, by-and-large conservative, to¬gether to make all the papersappealing to advertisers suchas Mobil, the milk industry,textiles.”He confirmed that no con¬nection presently exits be¬tween this network and TheSpectator.Pickens said the notable in¬terest in his paper and adver¬tising consortium came from a“backlash against the intellec¬tually feeble and morally de¬crepit idiocies of the Sixties. Students no longer think thatthe US is such a bad place.”Elden pointed out, “Just be¬cause they are an ad agencydoesn’t mean we should shyaway from it. It’s not cause forconcern. The Maroon uses anational advertising consor¬tium as well.”In the meantime, the paperrelies on contributions and ad¬vertising. Three paying adsare slated for inclusion in thecontinued on page 10Union troubles keep Security in limboBy Hilary TillA new contract for thecampus security forces has notbeen negotiated since the expi¬ration of the last contract be¬tween the University and thesecurity guards. That contractran out Feb. 1,1983. Since then,security officers have beentreated as non-union Universi¬ty employees.A new contract has not beennogotiated because the securi¬ty forces have been withoutunion representation for ayear. Up until the beginning oflast year, the security guardswere represented by Local 200of the Illinois Confederation ofPolice. This status of affairschanged Jan. 26, 1983 when thesecurity officers voted 32-17 forLocal 710 of the Teamsters torepresent them in contract ne¬gotiations. As reported at thetime of the initiation of the con¬troversy, the results of thiselection had to be certified bythe National Labor RelationsBoard (NLRB) before Local710 could represent the of¬ficers.The University has tried toprevent certification of theelection, according to previousMaroon reports (5/2/83), andclaims that it is attempting toB-J OlympicsMaroon page 12insideThe Brunch Adgrey city back cover block certification because theTeamsters are ineligible torepresent the guards. The Uni¬versity maintains that accord¬ing to the National Labor Rela¬tions Act, a union representingnon-police workers cannot rep¬resent police workers. As oflast year, Local 743 of theTeamsters, for example, re¬presented University serviceand maintenance workers inaddition to clerical workers.The Teamsters claim thatthe University does not wantthem as security’s bargainingunit because the Universityfears that the Teamsters willhave “a lock on all employ¬ees,” said one securitymember. In other words, if oneUnion represents all or, atleast, many of an employer’sworkers, the bargaining posi¬tion of that union would bevery good. The Universitywould not like to see this hap¬pen, according to the Team¬sters.Before last summer, the re¬gional director of the NLRB inChicago upheld the Teamster’scase in the dispute, accordingto John Patterson, formerpresident of Local 200 of the Il¬linois Confederation of Police.The case is currently pendingin the Washington seat of theNLRB. The NLRB was expect¬ed to decide the issue last sum¬ mer, but no decision has beenannounced yet.Both the University and theTeamsters assert that theyhave winning cases. TheTeamsters claim they have alegal precedent on their side:apparently, a union repre¬senting a New Jersey casinonegotiates for both police and non-police workers. On theother hand, it has been assert¬ed that since early last sum¬mer, President Reagan has al¬tered the composition of theNLRB, making it more pro-management than previously.As was the case last May, nocontract negotiations will takeplace until either Local 710 ofthe Teamsters is recognized asan eligible bargaining unit forthe security forces, or the se¬curity guards turn to another(eligible) union to representthem. According to one securi¬ty guard, some members of thesecurity forces believe anotherunion besides the Teamstersshould be given bargainingpowers for the guards so thatnegotiations can begin.Edward Coleman, directorof employee/labor relationsfor the University, could not bereached at press time for ei¬ther comment on the dispute orfor confirmation. Further cov¬erage of kthe dispute and theUniversity’s position will ap¬pear in the Maroon.Hospital HelipadDedication emergencyBy Jeff TaylorReporters from Channel 2News, the Tribune and the Sun-Times were on hand yesterdayfor dedication of the new heli¬pad atop the Bernard A. Mit¬chell Hospital—and they wit¬nessed an actual emergency.Hospital Public AffairsDirector William Bolger saidthe helicopter, slated for a de¬monstration at the noon dedi¬cation, made an emergencyrun to save a newborn Kanka¬kee infant with hydrocephalus,or water in the cranium.Bolger said the run, “whichwas, of course, unplanned,”was the helipad’s first officialuse.“We thought we might haveto cancel the press confer¬ence,” Bolger said, “but the helicopter got back on time.Our immediate concern was tostabilize the patient’s condi¬tion.” The infant is now listedin fair condition.Speaking at the dedicationwere Medical Center VicePresident Donald King, Exec¬utive Director Bruce Campbelland three patients who hadbeen transported successfullyin the helicopter before con¬struction of the helipad.Bolger said the helicopter“came back in the middle ofthe dedication, so the mediawas able to see the actual thingin progress.” The dedicationwent on as planned “immedi¬ately afterward.”“The helipad arrangementreally is a lifesaving serv ice,”Bolger said. “It’s a greatthing.”MORRY’S DELI in Hutchinson CommonsBRINGS YOU THEBEST DINNER BUYS ON CAMPUS!5 TO 8:30 P.M.Make Mony’s your dormitory service alternative!/ STEAK• 1/2 CHICKENBEEF EN BROCHETTEBROOK TROUTVEAL PARMESANONLY...COMPLETE DINNERINCLUDESFRENCH FRIES,SALAD ANDDINNER ROLLOPEN MON-FRI 7 A.M.

I choose not to do so becausethese are obvious to anyone who hasever visited or lived in the city.I choose not to write a scathing letter,pointing out the negative things aboutChicago. As I said before, I’m learningto love Chicago, to appreciate it as oneof the great cities of the world, even toconsider it a second home. Besides, Isee no need to stoop to the level of writ¬ing that Mr. Grammich tries to pass forjournalism.Instead, I have 2 questions to ask. IfMr. Grammich loves Chicago so much, he’s such a great White Sox fan why didhe write: The Sox could have finishedlast in their division, they could haveswooned at the end and not have madethe playoffs, or they could have evenbeaten the Birdies. But no. Theyshamed Chicago...’ (even though theycaptured their division title after com¬piling one of the best won-lost recordsin baseball!)I’m sure that Mr. Grammich reallydoes love Chicago. Unfortunately hisarticle does it little justice. Instead, itconveys the impression that Chica¬goans are narrow-minded and incap¬able of appreciating (or trying to ap¬preciate) anything beyond theirdoorstep — an obviously inaccurate im¬pression.Shame on you, Mr. Grammich.Harvey Lew To the editor:In an unfunny, inappropriate, andbadly researched commentary onWashington, DC, the Super Bowl, andsports, Cliff Grammich tried his best towrite something different, and suc¬ceeded. The root of what passed as rea¬soned opinion was that Washington, inall respects, reflected its “artificial”history and tradition, as opposed to“normal” societies, Chicago for in¬stance.Sorry. The District of Columbia wasfounded as far upstream on the Poto¬mac river as you could safely navigate,as was the original city of Georgetownwhich preceded it. Until well into the19th century, the Potomac Valley wasa principal trade route to the Ohio Val¬ley and the west, via its canals, earlyrailroads, and the nation’s first large- scale road-building program. A centrallocation on the seaboard didn’t hurtWashington’s development as a tradecenter, either.In modern times, Mr. Grammichdraws an equally strange distinctionbetween Chicago and its neighboringcities, such as Joliet, and Washington’sneighbors, such as Baltimore. He findsit peculiar that Washingtonians areOriole fans, forgetting that Fort Worthcitizens root for the Irving Cowboys,and Bostonians cheer for the FoxboroPatriots. What is strange is that a na¬tive Chicagoan would cringe at thethought of driving the same 30 miles onan expressway, the distance to O’Hareand the Rosemont Horizon, if it meantcrossing too many town lines in theprocess. This corner of the prairieleaves a funny perception on distance.As a sportswriter, Mr. Grammichshould be versed on the virtues ofsportsmanship. And perhaps the worstaspect of his diatribe was his lack of it.For those of us who see less in a single,over-hyped ball game than the totalbattle between good and evil, there is amessage to consider. Real fans respecttheir team even after a national em¬barrassment. By all reports, the Red¬skins still have the kind of following inWashington that A1 Davis is still pray¬ing for in LA.Mr. Grammich may happily classifywhatever he likes as “real.” But Ishare the view of an SNL one-liner,originally about the book Real MenDon’t Eat Quiche. Real men don’twrite (books) like this.Jonathan E. HardisSilver Spring, MD(& Graduate student in physics)ad responses: a heated debateAbortionTo the editor:I would like to see some statisticsconcerning the number of women whohave abortions in the third trimester ofpregnancy where their lives are notthreatened by the pregnancy. It is hardto believe that any normal womanwould carry for six months or more andthen one day up and decide to trot off tothe hospital, undergo major surgery anthen pay a hefty bill to boot. This inces¬sant outrage over the Supreme Court’sprovision that women may choose toabort the fetus at any time during thepregnancy seems increasingly mun¬dane. Why don’t we deal with the coreof the issue; the fact remains that oneis either for abortion or against it.Over the months as I have readvarious letters to the editor, “view¬points” columns, and just recently thefull-page petition presented by right-to-lifers, I have become quite resentful ofall this hypocritical rhetoric regardingthe “sanctity of life.” Does anyone re¬member what it was like before abor¬tions were made legal? You know, coathangers, lye, spatulas, etc. Makingabortions illegal will not stop womenfrom having them. They’ll risk theirlives in “back-room” operations or selltheir souls before carrying that preg¬nancy. Until we have a method of birthcontrol that is 100 percent safe and ef¬fective, as well as a competent way ofdistributing and educating peopleabout it, abortion, legal or not will con¬tinue to be the only alternative to ter¬minate an unwanted pregnancy.Abortion has been practiced through¬out recorded history and sure isn’tgoing to stop now. At least in our daywe have the knowledges and resourcesto make abortions safe. So why don’twe spew our morals in the right direc¬tion. It is the existing woman, a contri¬buting member to our society, whoought to be protected, ought to have theright to chose abortion when other al¬ternatives, (i.e.: birth control) havefailed or were not available via lack ofmeans and/or education.More importantly, what about thesanctity of the lives of female victims?Would your self-righteous morals stillhojd if your daughter, sister or girl¬friend was the victim of rape or incest?Or what about the woman who canbarely afford to support herself, muchless raise a child for the next 18 years.Until we can figure out a way to rid oursociety of rapists, incestuous family4—The Chicago Maroon—Friday, February 3, members, and financial hardship onthe poor, we have no business discuss¬ing whether abortion is wrong. Let’snot put the cart before the horse.Rather, I think we all had better take acloser look at the problems that neces¬sitate legal abortions as a viable choicefor preserving women’s physical andemotional health.Catherine GillisStudent in the CollegeTo the editor:I want to reply to David Burke’s ar¬ticle of last Friday in which he apolo¬gized for signing the petition opposingthe Supreme Court’s ruling permittingabortion on demand. I signed the peti¬tion and I am not sorry I did so. Thequestion of abortion centers aroundwhether or not a fetus is human, andunless a person addresses this funda¬mental issue he does nothing but con¬fuse all efforts toward resolution. Now,it may not be obvious that a fetus is ahuman being, but it certainly is notclear the fetus is not, and because ofthis doubt I oppose the SupremeCourt’s decision. It is precisely such ac¬tions as printing the petition in thepaper which show that student acti¬vism is not a thing of the past.Gregg BendrickFourth Year Student inthe CollegeTo the editor:The petition opposing the SupremeCourt’s decision on abortion has cer¬tainly provoked discussion throughoutthe University community. I signed thepetition hoping that would be the case.Ostensibly, Jim Johnson (see theMaroon, Jan. 27, 1984, p.7) desires auniversity “that supports discussionand thoughtfulness regarding difficultquestions.” His arguments, however,contravene his ideal and cloud the issuemuch more than the petition he de¬cries.First, Mr. Johnson is concerned that“men constitute fully two-thirds of thesignatories,” and though he tells us heis “disdainful of ad hominem attacks ofthis sort,” he has nonetheless argued inthis manner despite his rhetoricalsleight-of-hand. Since, as far as I know,the University is approximately two-thirds male, it seems reasonable thatthe petition might reflect this One canonly conclude that Mr. Johnson would1984 exclude fully two-thirds of the Univer¬sity community from the discussion be¬fore it begins. Does he believe that menshould be silent on this importantissue? To say this is to say also thatonly blacks should speak out againstracial discrimination and only old peo¬ple should air their views on conditionsin nursing homes. In our society it hasbeen the case (and should remain so)that when one group is unable to defenditself from abuse, others have a rightand a responsibility to speak for them.So it is with the unborn, fully half ofwhom are men, and I for one, will con¬tinue to speak out on behalf of bothmale and female infants (from Latin,by the way, meaning “one who cannotspeak”) who are unable to defendthemselves. The idea that abortion ispurely a women’s issue refuses fromthe very start to confront the basic con¬sideration : whether there is indeed an¬other person to consider in any preg¬nancy whose right to life is at least asimportant as the mother’s right tochoice.Further along, we read Mr. John¬son’s speculations on the subject of mo¬tive. For what reason, he asks (in somany words), did 285 people sign sucha petition? The question itself is aworthy one, but I contend that there isonly one way to answer it: one mustask the people who signed it (at leastsome of them)! I resent Mr. Johnson’sline of argument for two reasons: first,he is searching between the lines forreasons which may or may not exist(whom did he ask?); and second, he as¬sumes that among all the signatoriesthere was only one reason (read his let¬ ter and see if you don’t agree). The factof the matter is that many viewpointsare represented by the signatures onthe petition. Some believe that all non-therapeutic abortions are wrong,others that the power of the physicianshould be more closely regulated, stillothers may affirm a “Pro-Choice” po¬sition but find third trimester abortionsunacceptable. Yet all of these viewscoverage at one point: in one way oranother, the signatories oppose the lawas it now stands. The petition did notexplain motives because there weremany, yet I hope the value of consensusis not lost on a community that “sup¬ports discussion and thoughtfulness.”Why is it necessary for Mr. Johnson oranyone else to imagine a homogeneousgroup where none, in reality, exists?Mr. Johnson, I contend that thoughtf¬ul discussion is hindered and not helpedwhen you attempt to amass varyingviewpoints into one. We oppose the Su¬preme Court ruling on abortion. Youhave every right to ask each of us why,but you perpetrate an injustice whenyou accuse us of “postures of moral su¬periority” simply because we did notanswer your questions before youasked them.We want to thoughtfully discuss theissue, but please do not exclude the ma¬jority of this university from the dis¬cussion before it begins or assume thatall who oppose the status quo are say¬ing the same thing.Joel R.

To this viewpoint, Russell Miller anissue later alleged that “Washingtonians are the motself-important people alive...they are better,smarter, and more important than people from otherregions ofthe country.”Both of these viewpoints seem very trite and ridic¬ulous and are so much so there is not the slightestneed for controversy at all. Obviously, both authorshad overlooked that commercial, socio-economic,exciting, and fascinating city which sits in the middleof the universe, New York.Chicago and Washington, no matter how muchpride is vested in each by their respective citizens,are both simply suburbs of New York.The major part of Chicago’s growth can be attri¬buted to the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825. If thisis examined closely, one can see my point. If youtravel east through the Erie Canal, you first hit LakeErie, New York. You then get to Buffalo. From Buf¬falo, you can ride the Hudson all the way down riverto New York City. Thus, the major carrier and ex¬port route connecting Chicago anywhere, carries youto New York. In other words, “all rivers lead to NewYork.”Another interesting fact is that Chicago is nick¬named the Second City. Ever wonder what the firstcity is? If you guessed Washington, DC, you’ve gotthe brains of a Rita Jenrette.Washington is just another parasitic suburb of NewYork. To prove this, let us examine a small piece of histo¬ry. The capital of the glorious and God-given UnitedStates of America commuted from New York toWashington, DC, just as you or I might commute be¬tween Chicago and Joliet. Therefore, since you cancommute from New York to Washington, and vicevesa, Washington is a suburb.Quite a few people would assert that New Yorkonly appears great because of its location, across theriver from the Armpit of America and the Crotch ofthe World, New Jersey. Comparing New York to NewJersey is like comparing Shangri-la to Indiana or anyother slimy garbage dump of your choice.To those of you who compare New Jersey to NewYork I say this. To get into New Jersey, one has noobligation to pay any tolls. This shows the worth ofNew Jersey. To get into New York, you must pay.This proves that there is more interest in visiting astate with worth.One question which many Chicagoans might askafter reading this poetry is “why are so many NewYorkers in Chicago if New York is so great?” To this,I can only formulate one possible answer — that is,New Yorkers send their children to Chicago to createan appreciation of New York.One closing point. Look at who Chicago haschurned out — A1 Capone, Harold Washington, andEddie Vrdolyak. Look who New York has turned out— Nietzsche, Hume, Kant, S. Barrett Tillman, Ber¬trand Russell, Pat Moynihan, and Ed Koch. Need Isay more? As for Washington, they take the worst ofboth cities’ crop and throw them into Congress.Anyone sharing these views is welcome to join theNew York Defense League.

He has put his finger onthe confusing nature of the issue; however there arestill some misunderstandings which are misleadingto people trying to follow this debate. The sponsors ofthat ad and of other recent attempts on campus toconvince people that you can be a good liberal andstill long for the good old days of self-induced coathanger abortions, have deliberately distorted the1973 Supreme Court ruling by focusing an inordinateamount of attention on third trimester abortions.Their repeated conclusion, “Therefore in the UnitedStates as a whole abortion is legal on demand for thefull nine months of pregnancy,” needs a lot of ex¬plaining As it stands, many might think, that eightand a half months into a pregnancy, a woman caneasily decide she’d rather not bother after all. And —according to another letter in last Friday’s Maroon— she could easily find a physician “who stands tobenefit financially from the abortion.”The anti-choice people have repeatedly drilled intous that while states may regulate third trimesterabortions, they needn’t. The impression given is thatthe 50 states in the union are in the wholesale busi¬ness of unregulated abortions. But by checking thestate laws we find that this is not the case; the im¬pression given is a much distorted one.According to an analysis of state abortion lawsdone by the HEW in 1976 with 1978 addenda, 26 stateshave laws regulating abortion according to the Roev. Wade guidelines. Another 15 states still had lawsthat were more restrictive than the Supreme Courtdecision and would probably be found unconstitution¬al if tested. The law in two states was unclear, leav¬ing seven states without regulations as to when abor¬tions may be performed, though some of these havelaws mandating measures to preserve the life of aviable fetus. In addition, many states have mandatedonly “life and physical health” as grounds for lateabortion. Nor do any allow economic necessity or“peace of mind” as grounds for third trimester abor¬tions as claimed by one letter in last week’s Maroon.Nor do we find women flocking to the seven statesthat apparently don’t regulate when abortions maybe performed. Nationally, 0.9 percent of abortionswere performed after the 20th week (still in the sec¬ond trimester) and there isn’t a significant dif¬ference in percentage from state to state.Legal third trimester abortions are complicatedoperations that take place in hospitals. The deathrate from third trimester abortions is 30 times that ofthe death rate from first trimester abortions. Thoughthe Supreme Court decision states that a state maynot proscribe an abortion if the life or health of awoman is threatened, the risk of the abortion itselfshould be taken into consideration by the doctor.The anti-abortion ad and its supporting lettershave also distorted the issue by trivializing the con¬cept of “life and health” of the mother. The ACLUpublished a report based on an unsuccessful chal¬lenge of the Hyde amendment, which restricts Medi¬caid funding of abortions, in which they listed manyexamples of women denied funded abortions be¬cause, although their conditions were potentiallyserious a doctor wouldn’t certify that the pregnancvwould result in “life endangerment.” For example, a woman who had developed phlebi¬tis following the birth of her fourth child was eightweeks pregnant. The disease presented a threat toher health if the pregnancy was continued, but hercondition was not seven* enough to fall under the cat¬egory of “life endangering.”In another ACLU example, experts believe thatevery pregnancy shortens the life of a diabeticwoman by about five years. A woman who wantschildren could choose this alternative freely, but whyshould one who doesn’t be forced to? Birth control isnot 100 percent successful. Getting pregnant whilewearing an IUD creates a “statistically infrequentbut significant risk of serious infection during the lat¬ter part of pregnancy and a risk of death from over¬whelming septic infection.” Since the risk is infre¬quent, doctors won’t always certify the case as “lifeendangering.” If infection occurs, though, it’s toolate.The fact of a pregnancy being unwanted can be ahealth risk itself. Women under stress are more like¬ly to suffer from hypertensive states of pregnancy.These conditions occur late in the pregnancy andeven an abortion or prematurely induced labor maynot save a woman. Teenagers, older women, andblack women run a higher risk of hypertensivestates. If this is also combined with the stress of anunwanted pregnancy, the risks escalate. Yet since aBy Chris HodgkinsAs the originator, co-sponsor and compiler of therecent Maroon back page “petition ad” opposing thenation’s present abortion law, I read last Friday’sOp-Ed and “Viewpoints” sections with both interestand frustration. Since the petition’s only purpose,outside of informing the U of C community of the lawand stating an opinion of it, was to raise the issue fordebate, I’m certainly glad that our statement hashelped to generate the much-needed discussion ofwhat all will agree is a vitally significant issue. And Ican hardly complain that there are some who holdother opinions and speak their minds. But if peopleare going to object to the petition. I wish they wouldobject to the petition—this is, to what it actuallysays.Our petition is not a philosophical treatise or a so¬ciological monograph. We didn’t intend it to be. Whatwe intended was a clear, concise statement of a veryimportant court decision, and an equally clear state¬ment opposing that decision. Period. And if youpicked up the paper that day, that is what you read:“We the undersigned oppose the Supreme Court’s de¬cision of January 22, 1973, permitting abortion in theU.S. without restrictions for the full 9 months of preg¬nancy up to the time of birth;” and then the names.The grey inset box summarizing the law in more de¬tail clarifies what the masthead says about “permit¬ting” and “restrictions,” and gives the Court’s cru¬cial definition of “health.” Due tc an oversight on mypart, the source reference for this information wasomitted from the ad. I include it at the end of this let¬ter.The facts are that Roe and Doe put no requirement doctor cannot certify a woman’s life as being indanger just because she falls in multiple categoriesof high-risk groups, she would be denied an abortionunder Medicaid funding. And if all abortions wererestricted to strictly life-saving measures, even awoman who could pay for her own couldn’t get alegal one. The Hyde amendment has already createda situation for poor women in some states equivalentto one in which abortion is illegal unless needed tosave the woman’s life.I obviously am not saying that all women who areold, young, or black should have abortions. But com¬pare two pregnant women with similar medicalproblems, differing only in that one wants to have achild and the other doesn’t. The one who wants thechild will be more motivated to do what is necessaryto survive the risks her particular medical problemscause in conjunction with the pregnancy. For her.the results are worth the risks. Unless one proposesthat pregnant women become properties of the state— beings whose primary responsibility is to safe¬guard the life of the unborn — the higher risk of anunwanted pregnancy cannot be overcome.The U of C Pro-Life Association is trying to con¬vince us that the issue they are concerned with is thatof reckless abortion of seven, eight, and nine monthsold fetuses. These occurrences trouble me, too. Butcontinued on page 10on the states to protect the unborn in any way, andindeed allow states to offer protection from abortiononly after viability, yet with the proviso that any onedoctor can override such state restrictions protect¬ing the fetus. And the doctor’s decision to abort a via¬ble fetus is made with reference to the widest poss¬ible definition of maternal health, including underthat term anything from marital aned economicstatus to peace of mind. The petition in no way“misrepresents” or “distorts” those facts, as somehave said. The summary of the law is in error when itsays (due to my mistake) that states may forbidabortion “in the last three months” of pregnancy.Actually, Roe is more permissive of late-term abor¬tion (if this is possible), allowing prohibition onlyafter viability, and in a later decision, Colautti v.Franklin (1979), the High Court expressly forbadeany state legislature or court to set a precise timelimit on viability, leaving the decision entirely to thephysician. Yet, significantly, the Court also notesthat viability “is usually placed at about sevenmonths (28 weeks) but may occur earlier, even at 24weeks” (emphases mine; see US Reports; no. 439,pp. 386-390, especially p. 387). Thus, even if a statewishes to restrict post-viable abortions to cases inwhich the mother’s physical life is threatened (andthis prohibition is, you’ll remember, only an option)their legalization loses all force in the face of the doc¬tor’s federally-backed authority to decide, first, fetalviability, and overridingly, whether a woman’shealth, defined with the most complete latitude, isendangered by child-bearing.continued on page luThe Chicago Maroon—Friday, February 3, 1984—5Repetition: clarifying the petitionContacts for Sale!What Is A Bargain?The 4 questions most frequently asked about contact lenses are:1.

It is very dif¬ficult for me to remain calm as I writethis. Like another of last week’s letterwriters, I find the urge to fall back onad hominum attacks powerful. The de¬sire to defend my right to think, tomake judgments for myself, in short —to choose, is nearly irresistible. Thereis a great deal I could — and often do —say to justify my own strong pro-choiceposition, but what I want to do here is tocomplain about a very specific tacticused by the “pro-life” forces. DavidBurke’s Viewpoint column contains anexcellent example of this tactic. I amsdrry, David, to pick on you, since youdo seem to want to allow some early ormedically necessary abortions, but Ihave heard this argument roll off thetongues of anti-abotionists one toomany times.Here is the example:“For instance, if a fetus is not aperson, but is still part of themother’s body, even after it has ahuman form and kicks inside herwomb, then why should we call ita person when it is outside herwomb? Why don’t we just say thateveryone is still part of theirmother’s body?... Maybe all abor¬tions should be done after thechild is born. It certainly wouldsimplify the amputation of this‘part of the woman’s body’ to cutit out after it is in plain view.”So says David Burke... and you’re rightDavid — this argument is unfair. It alsois specious. To carry an argument outto its “logical extremes” in disregardof the reasoning behind it is not logic; itis mere propaganda and rhetorical de¬vice. To clarify this point, let me offerthe flipside of the above quote. As theold saying goes, turnabout is fair play.If — as the Right to Life would have it— an embryo is in every way a humanbeing from the moment of conception,and is entitled thereby to all the rightsguaranteed to any other person in thiscountry, then surely a mere prohibitionof abortion is insufficient. The fetus-person deserves greater assurance ofits safety while resident in another’sbooty. A pregnant woman can do allsorts of foolish, risky things whichcould endanger the well-being of thefetus-person. She might smoke, drink,drive a car in bad weather, expose her¬self to bacteria of all sorts, or evenUhl speaks outTo the editor:Just a short note on two items in lastFriday’s Maroon. First, let me call at¬tention to a small error in the paean toWXRT. The interviewer stated that an¬other Maroon writer had nothing to sayon behalf of Chicago radio. Not so. Ac¬tually, he mentioned the campus radiostation: WHPK 88.3 FM. I invite thewriter of the WXRT tribute to listen toWHPK. I think you (and other rockfans) will find WHPK’s rock pro¬gramming far more interesting thanWXRT or WNUR. Besides rock, WHPKalso airs jazz, classical, and R&B pro¬gramming.Last week’s Maroon also carried anarticle about the poor attendance at UCbasketball games. Now, I will not sug¬gest that people not go to the FieldHouse, but those people that cannotmake the game can perhaps hear it onWHPK. The station has already broad¬cast five games, and plans to broad¬cast at least three more this quarter(Feb. 7 © 7:30 PM, Feb. 10 © 6:00 PM,and Feb. 22 © 7:30 PM).We invite everyone to try 88.3WHPK-FM — you may be surprised.Thomas T. UhlStation Manager WHPKSuper SundaySpecials!MQRRV'S OEUIn Hutchinson Commons work at a strenuous, stressful job. Whoknows — she may even carry on withher life as if it was her own to live! Allin all, women cannot be trusted. Theymust be watched, monitored, perhapseven confined. Pregnancy tests mustbe performed monthly on all women ofchild bearing age to make sure everyfertilized egg gets the protection itmerits. This may not even be enough,for I have been informed that new med¬ical evidence seems to indicate that thefirst few weeks after conception maybe the time at which the embryo ismost affected by the woman’s actions.Since her pregnancy might pass detec¬tion at this early stage, it’s best just tobe on the safe side and protect the un¬born — by monitoring and restrictingthe movements of all women of childbearing age who are sexually active.Does this scenario appeal to you,David? I suspect not. I suspect you re¬sent someone misinterpreting your po¬sition. How do you like it when your tac¬tic is used on you?However, some of this nightmare vi¬sion may be all too true. Some anti¬abortionists also oppose the IUD be¬cause it seems to work by prohibitionimplantation of the fertilized egg ontothe uterine wall. (Think of the agony ofthat poor, defenseless cellperson un¬dergoes!) That latest item of fetus-pro-tection-at-women’s-expense in thenews is that soon pregnant women maybe forced to undergo major surgery tocorrect defects in the fetus. With theRight to Life pushing for fetal citizen¬ship and with the legal status of women(sans ERA) still in doubt, 1984 may bemore real than we believe.David, if you and all who have moralqualms about abortion but are open todiscussing the topic, and all who shud¬der at these extreme anti-abortion posi¬tion, will stop attacking those who arepro-choice with these specious argu¬ments and charges of amorality, aserious and useful discussion canbegin.Marla HughesGraduate student inpolitical scienceMaroon ageismTo the editor:I must add my outraged voice to thechorus of protests over the reportorialbiases of your articles on Hyde Parkcrime (Jan. 20). Not only was there ahint of racism in your “completely ir-relevent” identification of the race ofthe criminals (black, as the remark¬ably observant Mr. Holden and Ms.Ross noted in their letters to you), butyour description of them as “youths”revealed an equally reprehensible hintof ageism. Couldn’t you have simplydescribed them as “two people”?Michael RabiehStudent in the College Hyde ParkIs Price right?To the editor:The January 27th edition of yourpaper struck this reader as an unusual¬ly comprehensive reflection of the “iso¬lationist” posture pervasive at thegreat U of C — “in” but not “of” thecommunity.

I mean, the pro-choicers who reside there will exercisethat choice no matter what the law says(as middle and upper class Americansdid before Roe vs. Wade). And the anti¬abortion coeds ain’t about to get preg¬nant! Why should you when you havethe Computation Center to analyzecycles and combinations of birth con¬trol methods, etc. By the way, why do“lesser” colleges have “computerlabs”? Is that less or more than a“Computation Center?”Item: I’m glad that somebody elsehas noticed the Maroon’s tendency todenote the race of local offenders onlyin the case of Black folks.Item: Must we still talk about theshortcomings of public transportationsystems, in the midst of advertising theMaroon Express ^and your continuingefforts to refine the University’s alter¬nate transit program. U of C has clear¬ly made its choice and, before long,none of you will have to rub elbows withthe uncivilized barbarians who inhabitthe surrounding territory. Enough al¬ready!Item: A. S. speaks to the “moral im¬plications of denying care” vis-a-visthe new Bernard Mitchell HospitalHyde Park’s urban realityTo the editor:It is not true, as stated in a letter inlast Friday’s Maroon, that an incidentreported in my story “Local Bailseekers mug three,” “wasn’t even acrime, but a fevered suburban fan¬tasy.” To recount the incident morefully : Mr. Halvorsen was walking weston 57th St. past the Agora when twocars slowed down and began to followhim. Both cars turned onto Kimbarkand stopped, and three young men gotout. Mr. Halvorsen walked up to thecorner and past the three youths, andtwo began to walk along behind him.Half-way up the block he decided tocross the street, but midway across henoticed that one of the youths had alsocrossed the street. Mr. Halvorsen is notnaive (he grew up in NYC). He knewsomething was up, so he quickened hispace and made straight for the Whitephone on the corner of 57th and Wood-lawn. As he stood by the phone andglared at the youth on his side of thetreet, the youth crossed over and joinedhis friend, and the two of them contin¬ued past Woodlawn. very slowly, west Mr. Halvorsen considered picking upthe white phone and telling Securitywhat had happened, but decided not to.Instead, he turned up Woodlawn andbegan walking north, close to anotherstudent who was heading in the samedirection. Several seconds later the twoyouths were tailing them, which theydid for a block before turning east on56th. Mr. Halvorsen continued on to thenorthwest corner of 55th and Wood¬lawn. Ten to fifteen minutes later, Mr.Garber and Fritsche were mugged.The similarities between the two at¬tempts, their timing and especiallytheir mutual incompetence suggeststhat the people were the same in bothcases.The moral of the story is obvious, butI will draw it anyway: report any suspi¬cious occurences to Security the min¬ute they occur or you notice them. Theywill not laugh at you. They appreciatestudent’s efforts to help them makeHyde Park safer, and so do themembers of your community.Phil CafaroHighland Park/Hyde Park complex. Forget it A.S.! — that’s theplan. A local physician (trained andhonored by UC) once told me how theold Lying-In Hospital on 51st Street be¬came Provident Hospital (the old one).Seems that the UC honchos providedspace for the former to accomplish twogoals: 1) To attract the prominent staffand clientele of Lying-In into affiliationwith their university; and, 2) to providea convenient dumping ground for thecolored citizens who were invading theenvirons. With the passage of time,goal #1 remains intact; who caresabout the second goal. By the way, atthe same time this institution is lookingfor ways to avoid caring for people intheir frontyard, we get an interestingstory about a U of C helicopter dashingacross town to steal patients fromLoyola. You figure it out.Item: Back in the sports section, weget a scholarly treatise on empty seatsat athletic events. Has it ever occuredto y’all that many schools draw theirmost rabid boosters from the “commu¬nity” — which serves as a sort of ex¬tended-family to cheer on “our boysand girls.” Perhaps if we thought wewere welcome (or even that we couldstroll across campus without beingeyed as felons) you’d find more of thatgood ole college spirit in the air. Now,maybe I was invited to the “knittingcontest” during Kuviasungnerk (year,I looked up the spelling again), but no¬body told me. Had I been invited, wellItem Last: Even the good news isbad. I mean, the Credit Union is a greatidea! I, too, am sick and tired of beingripped off by the banks. But at thispoint all you need is a Harold’s FriedChicken Shack in Ida Noyes to removethe last vestige of interaction betweenus and y’all.If I seem angry, it’s because I am. Itoo want affordable, accessible andsafe transportation; safe streets andparks. And I would hope that the pre¬sence of a powerful institution in mymidst would further that goal. Instead,U of C opts to pass us by (literally, withthose damned maroon-and-whitebuses) and further contribute to the de¬terioration of the neighborhood. In¬stead of working with the communityfor improvement, the school’s omnipo¬tent ones don their various “Super-Pure” guises — a cast of characters ri¬valing the “Super-Heroes” —whereupon they plan “for ” the com¬munity in artichoke-filled rooms ratherthan “with” the community! From thismagnanimity we get ... “No Valhall,too many undesirables might be at¬tracted” ... “No Burger-King, samestory” ... not to mention the annual“Dump Tim Evans, he’s not indepen-dently-pure; although we love Harold(late of the Machine) and we lionize thelate-Ralph Metcalfe (also Machinebom-and-bred).” Hell, these good-guyseven fought Butler’s — homogenized,pasteurized and tie-knotted though itbe.Now since this is the Harvard of theMidwest (or is it the Oxford?), somesmarty-pants (plural) have figured outthat I’m also jealous. Right you are;and you win an extravagant dinner for20 to Chez Murry (name changed,thank you, to protect the innocent). I’lladmit that I am a drop-out. I took mynon-marketable master’s in Philoso¬phy and abandoned the halls of aca¬deme for the drudgery of work. But Imoved to a university-community (sic)and I looked forward to being a part ofthe family, positively wallowing in con¬tinuing education, cultural delights, thethrill of victories and the agonies ofmore-frequent defeats. Dumb me.Like Ronnie Reagan of “pollutingredwoods” fame, I don’t care to bebothered by responses that focus onfactural minutiae. First of all, I can’tget into Regenstein to double-check thelittle buggers, but more importantlyI’m talking about the attitude, man ...the ATTITUDE. The University of Chi¬cago is racist (common consent); eli¬tist (R.M. proves there’s a difference inhis Jan 27th letter; he doesn’t even carefor Chicago’s white folks); and, sadly,y’ali seem to love it that way.Michael J.

That roughly annual eventgives local critics yet another chance toreevaluate the career of a cultural phe¬nomenon who may or may not be Ameri¬ca’s finest director. Meantime, it offers therest of New York (I mean Manhattan, ofcourse) a fresh topic for dinner party con¬versation.While taking care of a friend layed upthere with hepatitis, I snuck off for a coup¬le of hours to see Broadway Danny Rose. Iwas satisfied I could return to Chicago withsome sense of cultural superiority. Nochance: the movie opened here the sameday. So much for New York snob appeal.But I think the fact Broadway Danny Roseopened here and in New York simultan¬eously says something about the state ofAllen’s career and the view of him, finally,as a national filmmaker.You don’t need to be in New York, ofcourse, to see Broadway Danny Rose. But Ioften wonder how Woody Allen’s movieslook outside his chosen city. Most, particu¬larly the recent “heavy” ones, probablydon’t travel easily. Something about theserious pieces Allen has added to his emo¬tional baggage, I guess. I once saw AnnieHall in Germany; it was roughly translatedas The Neurotic City. That’s New York,alright. That’s also the perception of itworldwide. But, Allen has added romanceto the angst.Allen has managed in Broadway DannyRose to fuse his older, lighter view of com¬edy with his more recent sense that theworld can be a pretty sad place. DannyRose struggles with that dichotomy. I’mnot sure Danny Rose is a hero who couldhave flowed from the pen of JosephConrad (Vincent Canby’s assertion), but heis Woody Allen’s most elaborately drawncharacter since Alvie Singer in Annie Hall.Allen is reaching deep into comedy's past,into the roots of the burlesque and Catskillresorts to create a Henny Youngman forour time. Never mind that Danny Rose is aloser, that his clothes look like they camefrom a 1955 Salvation Army bin, that hishand gestures suggest a nervous systemdisorder, and that he cannot tell a storywithout inventing an uncle to credit itwith. Danny Rose is a synthesis of WoodyAllen’s past and present, the serious and the slapstick, the laughed at and thelaughed with.Woody Allen has said he is aiming for“little moments that are wonderful.” Hefinds many such moments in BroadwayDanny Rose, mostly in the precious conflictbetween two world views. For DannyRose, hapless loser, all is “acceptance, for¬giveness, love.” For Tina Vitale, (Mia Far¬row) a gum-chomping Mafia widow, life islive fast, die young and leave a beautifulcorpse, or something to that effect. The re¬sult of this unlikely pair is a bittersweettale that leaves you wondering, as theyused to say in Chicago, why nice guys finishlast.More than just cheering your winterizedspirit with its cozy slapstick humor, Broad¬way Danny Rose may also make youwonder why the present is looking moreand more like the past in Woody Allen’smovies. It may be peculiar to the film¬maker’s vision of New York as nothing butromanticly rotting piers, neon lit coffeeshops and majestic cabled bridges, but theold fashioned view of New York has be¬come Woody Allen’s new frontier. NewYork is innocent again. It is 1950, baggytrousers, memories in black and white. Re¬membrance, means a young Mariel He¬mingway in Manhattan lovingly intro¬duced to a sacred world of Chinese food,old movies, jazz music and divorcedfriends.It is no accident that Woody Allen’s ob¬session with the past and interest in mak¬ing “serious” movies coincide with his useof cinematographer Gordon Willis’s melan¬choly black and white. Willis drapes theNew York of Manhattan, Stardust Memo¬ries, and Broadway Danny Rose in ephe¬meral black and white graininess. In doingso, the present has begun to look past,evoking another age. New York has be¬come the nostalgic film capital of the direc¬tor’s mental backlot. Everything in Broad¬way Danny Rose is designed to look out offashion, though the movie is set in the“present.” The costumes, the language,the characters, the gestures, the props —all suggest an era long gone. Even the plothinges on the past: Danny Rose is making acomeback as a theatrical agent by reviv¬ing the career of his client, as singer trying to ride the nostalgia wave. The story un¬folds in a New York deli as several borschtbelt comics from the Jack Benny era sitaround telling Danny Rose stories.The greatest Danny Rose is actually thesaddest. Danny Rose, it seems, hasn’tcaught on to the maxim that you have tobe cruel to make it. The pitiful agent livesfor his acts: he encourages them, feedsthem, even dresses them. But when one ofthem is lucky enough to achieve some smallsuccess, they drop Danny. From Gros-singer’s to the Boardwalk at Atlantic City,Danny Rose is known as a loser. His re¬maining acts include a one-legged tapdancer, a blind xylophone player, awoman who plays classical numbers onwater glasses, a parrot that sings “I’veGotta Be Me,” and a ventriloquist whostutters.Danny Rose’s one semi-successful act isan oft-married Italian singer of thesweaty hanky era named Lou Canova (Nick Apollo Forte). Lou has some problems: he’soverweight, he drinks, and he’s foolingaround with Tina Vitale, whose paddedrear end and blonde beehive dwarf poorDanny Rose. Danny has managed to wran¬gle Lou a shot on a Milton Berle TV specialand agrees to bring Tina along as his dateto appease Lou.Woody Allen moves comfortably intoslapstick as a series of hilarious misfor¬tunes accompany Danny Rose after hepicks up Tina in New Jersey. They en¬counter a suicide attempt by iodine, an at¬tempted mob style hit, a shootout in agiant balloon warehouse filled with heliumtanks (imagine the possibilities) — all be¬fore Lou even sings for Uncle Miltie.While Danny goes through hell and nau¬sea for Lou, he doesn’t know Lou and Tinaare planning to dump him for a big-timeagent. This element of betrayal andDanny’s inability to separate businessfrom the personal are at the core of Broad¬way Danny Rose. The pairing of humor andsadness are nothing new to comedy; thereis much of Chaplin in Broadway DannyRose. For for Woody Allen, the combina¬tion seems to come at a time when he is try¬ing to reconcile the two elements in a newway, by making seriousness and hilaritydual aims. They merge in Broadway DannyRose, through the comics who almost ca¬sually tell the story of Broadway DannyRose. They are like a Greek chorus: theydocument the decay and resurrection of aBroadway schnook.In Broadway Danny Rose Woody Allenhas discovered that he need not abandoninnocent humor to portray seriousness. Itwas a discovery he made in A MidsummerNight's Sex Comedy, but there the mes¬sage was almost forced and artificial init’s contrived setting. Allen suggested thequality in Love and Death, where he ex¬plored those only two certainties in life.Now finally, Allen has brought his dualtautology home, to New York, where it be¬longs. Broadway Danny Rose uses blackand white New York to portray purposefulsuspension of time, to ask the viewer touse memory and association to imageinean urban world where old fashioned val¬ues can survive, even after they’ve beenstomped on a few times.LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO HELLby Michael KotzeThe curtain goes down on the ChicagoOpera Theatre’s new production of Mo¬zart's Don Giovanni with a burst of mock¬ing laughter from the cast, who have justfinished singing the opera’s epilogue, inwhich they admonish the audience withthe moral of the story, that a sinful lifewill end in Hell. Indeed, in the precedingscene we saw it happen, as Don Giovanniwas dragged off to hell in one of the mostfearsome episodes in all of opera. At theend of a story like this such laughtermight seem highly inappropriate. And al¬though this finishing touch was certainlysuperfluous, and probably rather vul¬gar, it did serve to underline the spirit ofMozart’s eniggiatic masterpiece.Mozart and his librettist Lorenzo daPonte subtitled Don Giovanni a “drammagiocoso”, a title that places it somewherebetween the low comedy of the operabuffa and the high drama of the operaseria. Don Giovanni takes place in a sortof operatic twilight zone, a world whichhas room for choruses of both jolly pea¬sants and avenging demons. The rapiditywith which Mozart takes us from light¬hearted cajolery to dead seriousness isastonishing, and is part of what makesthis opera so exhilirating, and so unique.In the world of Don Giovanni, carefreelaughter can (and probably will) pop upanywhere, even * following a scene ofeternal damnationIt is just this sense of irony and ambiva¬lence that makes Don Giovanni so diffi¬cult to stage A director who wants to setup his own consistent interpretive tonefor the entire evening is bound to windup in trouble — if a director settles On adramatic/tragic approach to the opera,the work's prominent comic elements willsuffer; if he goes overboard with thebuffo, he runs the danger of trivializingthe serious moments. It’s best to dealwith each scene orv its own terms, but howmany directors today are really willingto trust their composer and librettist? Ifa director is going to lean one wav or an¬ other, it’s probably better to leantowards the comedy; the high drama ofthe finales, for example, is strongenough to take care of itself, given rea¬sonably sensitive performers. But if aserio-tragic treatment leads to a leadenapproach to the comedy, the entire eve¬ning can fall flat dramatically. Don Gio¬vanni can work very well given a lightertreatment. The stress of Opera Theatre’sproduction of this “dramma giocoso” wasdecidedly on the “giocoso”, in the lookand feel of the production, and in the mu¬sical performance as well. And despitethe inevitable gaffes (no one is holdingtheir breath for a perfect production ofDon Giovanni), it was a considerable suc¬cess on most every level.Under Lou Galtiero's direction, the ac¬tion flowed swifty and naturally on anextremely simple playing area: a wide,shallow stage with a slight rake, and sus¬pended on an angle above the action alarge reflective panel, which played in¬terestingly with the lighting, and createda greater illusion of depth than thisstage could normally provide. Our atten¬tion was effectively fopused on the actionby the elegant simplicity of the staging.The singing and acting was on an un¬commonly high level: not one member ofthe cast stood out as inadequate Spanishbaritone Enrique Baquerizo was a dash¬ing, macho Don Giovanni. Surely.he wasborn to play the Don — he’s tall, dark,and handsome, he moves well, and hasgenuine wit and charisma which serveshim well in this role His singing, if notquite on the level of his acting, was forth¬right and robust, though his enunciationof the text could have been clearer. Le-perello, the Don’s comic servant, was inthe good hands of James Rensink, andwas no doubt the audience's favorite ofthe evening. Rensink presented a very li¬keable Leperello, and his comic under¬playing was a welcome relief from thehad tradition of riv,?rstren,JO'Jt buffo players. His richly sung portrayal also of¬fered the best diction of the entire cast.Of the ladies, soprano EvangelinaColon still needs time to grow into thepart of Donna Anna — her performancewas dramatically undercharged, and hersinging tended towards shrillness in thebig moments. Nonetheless, she created apositive figure in the ensembles; perhapson another evening she could be a verygood Donna Anna; her performance pro¬mised more than it delivered. Carol Gutk-necht delivered a very fine Donna Elvira.She commanded the stage frotn her firstentrance, and her second act aria, Mitradi, was one of the evening’s vocalhighlights. And I will not forget the hesi¬tancy with which this Elvira joined in themoralizing of the epilogue — nor will Iforget her steely-eyed vehemence onceshe did. The evening’s most poised voca¬lizing came from Maria Lagios, as thepeasant maid, Zerlina. Her two ariaswere models of Mozartean style, and heracting was charming, vivacious and, attimes, utterly ruthless.Tenor David Sundquist cut a blank fig¬ure as Don Ottavio, one of the blandestcharacters in the entire Mozart operaticcanon. Though his voice is not the swee¬test, he sang Ottavio’s two pretty ariasprettily. David Rice was an aptly gawkyMasetto; his aria Ho capito had all theironic bitterness one could ask for. Andas the Commendatore. killed by the Donin the first scene only, to ieturn at the endto warn the Don of the fate that awaitshim, Kenneth Cox revealed an awesomebass voice. Too bad he had to wear such aridiculous cdstume in his final scene — helooked like something out of Warrior-Gods of the Deep, or at least an early se¬venties Bowie tour. The sight of it re¬duced many in the audience to laughter,introducing a bit of unwelcome levity intowhat should be the opera's most dramat¬ic scene. Costume designer Dona Granatamnet ctill h#wp »n onn ryn h^r <9rh from that one; the rest of her designs werebetter, often displaying a sly wit rarelyseen in operatic costuming.Necessity dictates a chamber-sized or¬chestra for the pit of the AthenaeumTheatre; conductor Mark Flint turned thisnecessity into a virtue with his forty-oddmember ensemble, which sounded like aforce twice its size when it had to, whileretaining a clarity and transparency oftexture one might miss in a larger orches¬tra. With luck, we ll be hearing morefrom Maestro Flint.The most striking element of OperaTheatre’s Don Giovanni was the powerfulsense of communication between thesingers and the audience. This was effect¬ed in great part by the English transla¬tion of Andrew Porter, an uncommonlyfine rendering which was as faithful toda Ponte’s words as it was to Mozart'srhythms. Just as great a factor in the per¬former-audience contact was the perfor¬mance space itself: the AthenaeumTheatre is a house of about 900 seats,with a wide shallow auditorium to matchits wide, shallow stage. This means thatno seat is too far from the stage, and de¬tails and subtleties so often lost in largerhouses can be seen, heard, and appre¬ciated by the entire audience.Opera Theatre's Don Giovanni is* an ele¬gantly staged and stylishly- sung prod¬uction. To say that it more successfullyevokes the smiles rather than the tearsof this great work is not to condemn it;there are an infinite number of valid ap¬proaches to such a masterpiece, with infi¬nite variations from light to dark. What¬ever the approach, one must applaud onethat works.

While working on aRoger Corman film festival, Lipstadt de¬cided to turn from theoretical concerns andmove towards a dissertation which wouldfocus on the ideological implications of Cor-man’s exploitation films. In true Hol¬lywood fashion, Corman heard about whatLipstadt was up to, spoke with him, andended up hiring Lipstadt as Corman’s per¬sonal assistant. After working as producti¬on manager on three of Corman’s epics —Gallaxy of Terror, Slumber Party Massa¬cre, and Forbidden World — Lipstadt gotfunding for a more intimate project, An¬droid, for which Lipstadt got almost totaldirectorial control from Corman, some¬thing which doesn’t happen much with Cor¬man and which shows Corman’s instinctiveunderstanding of good directors. (Afterall, Corman let a young Martin Scorsesedirect Boxcar Bertha and look where thatled.)Android (which had its Midwest pre¬miere last year in Mandel Hall) tells the story of Max 404, an all-but-human robotwho is stranded with his inventor (playedby Klaus Kinski) on a space station some¬where at the end of the universe. Maxspends most of his time learning about lifeby watching research tapes about the 20thcentury, tapes which include old movies,video games, and James Brown songs.Max is played with a bumbling, lovableadolescent charm by Don Opper, who alsoco-wrote the script with James Reigle.Opper — who is a playwright, singer, andprofessional mime in L.A. — gives a semi-Chaplinesque turn to Max’s stumbling ef¬forts to be social to three escaped convictswho land at the space station. These con¬victs soon discover that Max is part of aspecial project of illegal androids, ofMax’s inventor to use the humans to acti¬vate a new brand of android which will re¬place Max.In other words, Android is less science-fiction vision than it is a story of growingup, of Max’s coming to terms with love,,hate, desire, friendship, and a almost mys¬tic reverence for Earth (he keeps askingthe convicts, “Have you ever been to Chi¬cago?). Opper’s affectionate portrayal ofMax is most evident as he prepares for a“date” with a female convict by watchingJimmy Stewart in Capra’s It's A WonderfulLife, as he tries on a Stewart-like hat, andpractices his movements. Another finescene, and one which shows Lipstadt’s con¬trol over his mise-en-scene, has Max dis¬ covering his inventor’s designs on Maggie,the convict Max has a crush on. Max spieson the inventor’s lunch date with Maggie,while he watches on another video screenFritz Lang’s Metropolis, and viewing thescene in the Lang where the female robotis made which will help enslave themasses. As Max realizes what the inven¬tor plans to do with Maggie, the sound¬track — which is what Max is listening to— plays James Brown’s "It’s A Man’sWorld.” The song works on two levels,with Max realizing the nature of the in¬ventor’s world, as well as Max realizingthe nature of the all-too-human and dis¬tinct human world.In scenes like these, Lipstadt is able tolet his genre-like style carry the weight ofgreater — if not complex — emotions andmeanings than has been seen in most Cor¬man films. Android is surprising in its lackof violence, since for all other intents andpurposes Lipstadt is able to provide thekind of low-budget, high-action thrillsusually associated with Corman product.The suggestion of a possible motive for theandroid uprising on Earth which got thembanned in the first place, the use of Mag¬gie as a strong female character and not afemale charicature, the sense that the con¬victs — who are corporate terrorists (yea!)— are really very dim-witted about theirown capacity for self-destruction, and, fi¬nally, the sense that the androids some¬how represent a spark of divine soul whichpermeates any created thing, these are allelements which make Android more thanjust a drive-in schlock epic. In this sense,Android is reminiscent of Phillip K. Dick,the master of this line of thinking. How arewe to determine what is human and whatis not, in face of the fact that so many peo¬ple do not live up to the title of"human”.The most interesting aspect of Android,like George Lucas’s THX-1138 or John Car¬penter’s Dark Star, is just how strangeand confused this futureworld remains.The space station is a broken mess, the in¬ventor is a power-hungry madman, the po¬lice forces are inefficient, the convicts aredumb — just like today. The only real char¬acters are the androids, for they are theonly ones who have a certain “human”sense. Max learns to help, to love, and tocare for others. It’s only the inventor whoprograms Max to kill. Finally, Max evenfinds the android of his dreams in the fig¬ure of Cassandra (Kendra Kirchner), whohelps Max out in the same manner asDonna Reed in It's A Wonderful Life. In agreat sense it isn’t even a science-fictionfilm by most conventions, since it plays toofast and loose with the conventions of thatgenre. Is Android a thriller? A horror film?A Comedy9 A Tragedy? A little of all ofthem, perhaps. Lipstadt has managed topack as much as he can into a film whichcreates a little genre of its own: works bydirectors who have probably spent toomuch time watching DOC films. INTERVIEWThe following passages are exerptsfrom the Grey City Journal’s interview withAaron Lipstadt, director of Android. Theinterview was conducted by Jeff Makosand Richard Martin (GCJ, November 12,1982).The problem with Android in thoseterms is that it’s not clearly a genre pic¬ture. It's not a thriller, or a horror film,it’s not a detective, or a western, or amelodrama. It changed directions a lotof times. I never had much interest inscience fiction: either science fiction as agenre, or what the questions of specula¬tive fiction prose — those aren’t veryinteresting for me, except that I seescience fiction as looking at now andtrying to make some projection into thefuture that incorporates what’s goingon now.First of all, just to make a movie for thebudget that Roger makes pictures for,you’ve got to do — you’re forced to do— certain things stylistically. Shootingwith such a short schedule, you knowthat the picture is going to be made inthe cutting room to some extent.It’s a lot more dangerous when you’remaking a picture like Android — is it acomedy, a tragedy, a melodrama? An¬droid is a comedy, but that’s applyingvery broad rules of what comedy is. Isaid to myself: if the protagonist suc¬ceeds with his goal than you’re doing acomedy, if he doesn’t you’re doing atragedy. In those terms Android’s acomedy, it’s very funny. But Androidoriginally started out as being a muchmore serious, dark idea about a cor¬poration which is trying to control laborsupply by making the perfect workingclass and is somehow foiled by theworking class that it’s trying to createand control, because despite the at¬tempts to try and make androids whichwould be perfectly malable, in theircomplexity they became individualis¬tic.I think that movies are about moviesmore than they’re about life, and Ithink that perspective comes through inAndroid. I think that one of the sur¬prises about the way that Androidturned out was that it’s not a picturewhich has an attitude about itself as apicture as much as I thought it would,and that it’s pretty sincere about thecharacters.V\\\S\W\\\\\\\\\\\W\\W\\\\\\\\\\\\W\continued from page 3of Liszt’s music, and the obsessiveand hysterical sexual imagery is, ofcourse, by that master of the outrehimself, the one and only Mr. KenRussell.

The play is setin the late nineteenth century Swe¬den. The action takes place in andaround a well-to-do, seemingly re¬spectable home which contains abevy of liars and manipulators.Their lives are knotted in an intri¬cate tangle of passion, greed, andpretense. The characters seem toexist in a morphine induced haze;old wounds are opened up, new onesare inflicted, but nobody feels pain.What they experience is the dull,boundless ache of wondering whythey cannot feel. Written at the endof Strindberg’s unhappy life, theplay introduced techniques of exag¬gerating and distorting normalhuman behavior. These techniquesare the roots of Expressionism,whose profound influence on moderndrama stands in opposition to the in¬fluence of Ibsen’s Naturalism. ThatGhost Sonata remains controversialseventy-seven years after its publi¬cation attests to its enduring rich¬ness and interest. Also on the pro¬gram is The Zoo Story by EdwardAlbee.

The structure of his playsis sometime so perfect that we almostdon’t think about what is going on underthe surface. Shaw's warning seems quitevalid after having seen Court Theatre’sproduction of Hedda Gabler. On ,the sur¬face everything seemed so right, but onreflection, I walked away feeling cheat¬ed.On the whole, the production suffersfrom a literal-mindedness which suffo¬cates much of the dynamic tension going onunderneath. Like so many Court produc¬tions, Hedda Gabler is played as a sittingroom drama with all the conventions ofthat genre intact. No one in the productionreally seems aware of the possibilities theplay offers.The casting is very mixed and I’ll beginwith the fortunate choices. Of the fourleads Thea, played by Maurreen Gal¬lagher, is the one we feel the most sympa¬thy for. She is a simple but strong womantrying to hold her own among the more vi¬brant personalities of the play. She lovesLovborg and because of this love she isable to effect change in the world. She isable to do what Hedda, for all her sturmund drang, cannot. Gallagher is ap¬propriately restrained in her role andserves well as an occasional center of calmfor the others.William Brown as the romantic outsider, £Lovborg, gives the finest performance of 5the evening. He is the only actor who hits ®the right balance between the melodra- 4matic and the realistic. When he is on cstage he holds our attention as Hedda 3should, but does not always. One feels hismix of horror and acceptance when in thesecond act Hedda proposes her final solu¬tion to his problems.Now we must turn to more problematiccasting. Joe Van Slyke’s performance asHedda’s husband Tessman, amounts to lit¬tle' more than a charicature of a bumblingacademic. He plays his role for the laughs,completely undercutting the character’sprime feature. He is boring, not laughablystupid. His rage in the second act at whatHedda has done seems almost absurd aswe have been smiling at his portrayal ofthe absent-minded professor from thestart. His performance gives us no sense ofTessman as a real person only a hollowcomic book character. This, I think, hasmore to do with the direction than withVan Slyke’s acting.The problems with Van Slyke’s perfor¬mance is nothing compared to the amazingmiscasting of Ingrid Blekys as HeddaGabler. What a joy it would be to see anactress truly become Hedda, in all her am¬biguities and complexities. In all of mod¬ern drama there is probably no characterto rival that of Hedda. No one in Shaw,Beckett or Ionesco can touch her—nor doany of Ibsen’s other women seem to haveher power.We know so very little about her yet sheseems so whole, and so real. She is caughtin the changing world of the late nine- HEDDA GABLER HAS NO BITEIngrid Blekys as Hedda Gablerteenth century. Had she been born 10 or20 years later, her opportunities for edu¬cation and advancement would have beentenfold greater; she would have been ableto use her talents and energies. But as itis, she is trapped in a collapsing statusquo.She has married the uninspired butstable Tessman because she fears the“scandal” she imagines it would create ifshe took any other course of action. Andthen, she must stand by and watch awoman like Thea, who is neither talentednor particularly bright, step into astrange new world when she, like Nora inA Doll's House, leaves her husband to gomake a life of her own.Hedda seems to suddenly realize thatshe has missed the boat, she could havebeen a great woman if she had thecourage. But she does not, until the endwhen it is too late and her “courage” ismisguided and doomed.It is this subtext of the changing, dynam¬ic society that the characters exist in whichis missing in the production. In this prod¬uction nothing from the outside worldseems to effect them, they are removedfrom history. But this is not how Ibsen in¬tended the play to be understood. Theplay raises the issues of an individual’sfreedom and his struggle against the forces of history, especially in regard tothe position of women. The fate of HeddaGabler is not that of one woman but ratherit sums up the fate of an entire generationof women.Ingrid Blekys in the title role simply isnot big enough to fill Hedda’s shoes. HerHedda seems to sure of herself at alltimes, even at the moments of breakdownshe seems as if she is in complete control.Blekys as an actress is not secure enoughto revel in the complexity of her charac¬ter. She cannot show us the dynamic ten¬sion existing under the surface. At anygive moment she is playing Hedda in onlyone way; Hedda as aggressor, as manipu¬lator, as hysteric. These facets of her per¬sonality have to co-exist simultaneouslyor else we lose the importance of Hedda’sposition.It is also time to point out that Blekys isbeing used far too much at Court. In thelast year she has been in Antigone, Lootand A Midsummer Night's Dream. Whileshe is a capable actress, both her voiceand face are too distinctive to believe herin role after role. She has yet to sublimateenough of herself (especially the voice) toseem convincing. Another actress who hasthe same problem, Meryl Streep, is finallyachieving a chameieon-like quality so thatwe begin to see the character and not the actress. Blekys should study her exam¬ple.The direction by Susan Dafoe seems un-distinctive. It is like any other Court prod¬uction, it is smooth, bland and handsome.The actors are well-paced and only veryrarely seem unnatural. Dafoe seems quiteable to handle her actors, now she shouldtry doing something interesting withthem.The set by Linda Buchanan is, as always,excellent as are the costumes by NancyMissimi. But we really have to ask whatgood this technical perfection does when itis never put to any imaginative use. TheCourt Theatre seems to be producing thesame play over and over. Their produc¬tions take no risk, they have grown safeand very predictable. It is terribly frus¬trating to sit through great drama givensuch nonchalant treatments.Perhaps we are jaded from TV and themoves, but then the theatre can andshould rise to the challenge and dare toexcite us, dare to shock us. Until this hap¬pens we might as well sit home and watchTV. Live theatre, for all its magic, is notindestructible. If the Court continues tooffer us nothing but parlor dramas, withall social and philosophical relevance ig¬nored, we can continue to expect a mini¬mum of magic.VISION OF PRAGMATIC POLITICSWalter Lippmann and theAmerican Centuryby Ftonald Steel, Random House, Inc.,Random House, 1981669 pp.by Dan SeligmanIn recent weeks, President Reagan hasmoderated the tone of his foreign policy.For instance, prior to the Stockholm meet¬ing of George Schultz and Andrei Gromy¬ko, he spoke on Soviet-American relations:“The fact that neither of us likes the othersystem is no reason to refuse to talk...Wewill negotiate in good faith. Whenever theSoviet Union is ready to do likewise, we’llmeet them halfway.”Yet, until now Reagan’s policy has tilteddangerously towards the ideological: ThePresident has sought perfection in a worldthat demands compromise. He has used amisguided moralist rhetoric against theRussians. He has called for increased mili¬tary aid to the government of El Salvadorand has stopped the regular review ofhuman rights abuses. He frankly seeks toachieve “military and technological supe¬riority" with a defense budget increase of13 percent for 1984. And, in nuclear poli¬cy, he has shaken the foundations of mutu¬al deterrence with his venture in StarWars anti-ballistic missiles technology.While the cause of conservative ideologysurges, the voice of liberal pragmatismwavers. Neoconservatism sets the pace inpublic debate. Walter Mondale fumbledLebanon. Tip O’Neill waffled over Grena¬da. And judging from the President’s cur¬rent 53 percent approval rating, the pub¬lic is happily going along for the ride.In this setting, Ronald Steel's WalterLippmann and the American Century is amuch-needed reminder of an alternative. Lippman was in his day a leading innova¬tor of pragmatic, non-ideological foreignpolicy.For thirty-six years until his retirementin 1967, he expounded his views as syndi¬cated columnist with The New York HeraldTribune and, briefly, with The WashingtonPost. His column “Today and Tomorrow”appeared in over 200 daily newspapersacross the country. He was, said JamesReston, the “greatest journalist of thepresent age.”Lippmann was not always a pragmatist.In his early years, he explored Socialism,Progressivism and Wilsonian Idealism. Hegrew into his mature views only under thepressure of great events. Indeed, withoutLippmann and others of his generation andtemperment, like Rheinhold Niebuhr andGeorge Kennan, an American version ofpragmatic politics might never have comeabout. It is a fairly recent and hard-wonaddition to American political thinking.And, over the years it has served the na¬tion well — first urging vigilance againstHilter and Stalin, then resisting the panicof McCarthyism and the irrationality ofthe War in Vietnam.Steel’s book is really a subtle weave oftwo books. It blends the story of Lipp-mann’s brilliant career with a deft accountof the national politics in which that careerunfolded. Lippmann’s personal story is oneof extraordinary achievement: an out¬standing student at Harvard (Class of1910), he befriended George Santayanaand the aging William James while on hisway to taking a degree in philosophy. Hisfirst book, A Preface to Politics, publishedwhen he was 24, was “recommended mostheartily” by no less a figure than SigmundFreud as “an important attempt to applymodern psychological knowledge and in¬sight to the problems of sociology and po¬litical science.” A year later, Lippmann was appointed a founding editor of Her¬bert Croly’s new magazine The New Re¬public.In a rare adventure in practical politics,Lippmann served as adviser to WoodrowWilson’s confidant Colonel House and as animportant member of the secret councilthat framed Wilson's Fourteen Points.Through the 1920s, he wrote editorialsfor the Pulitzer-owned New York World;his biting style made him for the first timea national figure. And through “Todayand Tomorrow", started in 1933, heachieved a level of authority with the pub¬lic possibly never to be equaled by anynewspaper commentator.Anyone seeking a broad account ofAmerican foreign policy in what Steel,with a trace if irony, calls the AmericanCentury, will find this book a valuablesource and engaging reading. There are nointerpretive innovations here, but Steeldraws together the best of liberal-leftscholarship to touch on such questions aswhy America got involved in World War I,the legacy of Woodrow Wilson, isolation¬ism between the Wars, how the Cold Warcame about, why there are two Europestoday and how America blundered intoVietnam.The effect of events and ideas on Lipp-mann's politics would be impossible tosummarize. Still, the workings of his mindcan be suggested by his growing interna¬tionalism of the 1920s and ’30s.He originally argued for American entryinto World War I on grounds of Wilson’sidealistic plan to forge a new internationalorder based on democratic rights and therule of law. But the harsh settlement thevictors imposed on Germany and Austria at Versailles taught Lippmann that, what¬ever one might wish, interests come beforemorals in the behavior of nations. Far frommaking him an isolationist — one seekingto preserve American moral purity andpeace by isolation from a corrupt Europe— the experience convinced Lippmann thatAmerica was more than ever an integralpart of an international system.Realistically, he recognized that the bal¬ance of power in Europe and control of theseas would always be crucial for Americansecurity. But his growing realism was tem¬pered by a lingering idealism. Through the1920s, he continued to have faith thatAmerica could best insure its security byparticipating in negotiated global disar¬mament.Only the rise of the fascists, clearly un¬willing to submit to a negotiated peace,convinced him that disarmament was im¬possible and that America and the otherdemocracies should remain strong.By the late 1930s, Lippmann had crysta-lized his pragmatic analysis. Americans,he argued, should drop the habit of mora¬lizing international politics. They shouldstop interpreting international politics asthe clash of “good” democracies with“wicked” tyrannies. And they should stoptrying to order international politicsthrough unenforceable treaties.Judgements of good and evil in politicsare usually only functions of self-interest.If America were to persist in its moralizinghabits, it would be driven to the schi¬zophrenia of either ignoring the corruptworld through isolationism or cultivatingutopian dreams of global law and order.Politics, based on the clash of interestcontinued on page 6THE GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1984-5\ iTHE ART OF LISTENINGby William WeaverHow to be sensitive, caring, non-judg-mental, and at the same time helpful to an¬other human being is a problem which hasplagued man for eons. In modern times,the standard way of dealing with individu¬als seeking professional help was to usevarious derivation of Freudian psychoan¬alytic theory. Although to some individu¬als the results of this process can be quitepositive, the intensity of the treatment (aswell as the cost) daunts many would-be pa¬tients. There is also an implied pa¬tient/doctor relationship which can be un¬nerving to an analysand who goes to thedoctor to get “cured” of his neuroses. Thisrelationship leaves part of the controlover the therapy in the hands of the doc¬tor, who helps process the informationgiven by the patient through his impartialdistance from the patient's problems.An alternative model of therapy, whichcan be used on both a personal as well asprofessional basis, was developed here atthe University of Chicago by Dr. Carl R.Rogers, who named it “Client CenteredTherapy”. This name derives from the all-important attitude of the counselortowards the client. The client, says Rogers“is one who come actively and voluntarilyto gain help on a problem, but without anynotion of surrendering his own responsibil¬ity to the situation.” In Client CenteredTherapy, the input and output is in controland the responsibility of the client. Thishas several effects: to make the clientmore comfortable in revealing what hewants to reveal, to empower the client tomake his own decisions, and to encouragean atmosphere of working with, ratherthan “being cured” by a counselor.The major tool in this therapy is a tech¬nique called “reflective listening” or just“listening”. This involves the counselor re¬flecting back the content, feelings, andemotional tone of the client’s statements,so that the client can then focus in on a par¬ticular feeling or issue related to what hejust brought up. Rogers gives an example.“Here is a client statement: ‘I feel asthough my mother is always watching meand criticizing what I do. It gets me allstirred up inside. I try not to let that hap¬pen, but you know, there are times when Ican feel her eagle eye on me that I just boilinwardly.’ A response on the counselor’spart might me: 'You resent her criticism .”This statement does indeed contain thecrux of the content and feeling given bythe client, but if it is said in the tone of thephrase “You have the measles” (AsRogers cattily remarks), the statement be¬comes not empathic, but rather impliedcriticism. A more neutral and empathicstatement might me: “If I understand youcorrectly, you feel pretty resentfultowards her criticism, is that right?” Thekey to these responses by the counselor istheir attitude. In Client Centered Therapy,the counselor must genuinely respect theclient, and the client’s ability to work withhis own problems. If this doesn’t happen,then the desired empathic response of thecounselor cannot be made. This responeempowers the client to work with his ownissues and feelings; listening allows theclient to feel equal to the counselor insteadof relying on him. This leads to a warmer,more comfortable atmosphere in which thetwo can work together. However, many argue that although lis¬tening is initially helpful and less threa¬tening than the traditional more analyti¬cally oriented therapy, its very preceptslimit its overall effectiveness. The majorargument in this category is that the un¬conditional acceptance of the client, andthe client’s control over the therapy, limitsthe therapy to the extent of the client’sfear of and knowledge about himself. It isargued that once the client has nothing tobring to the therapy, either through will¬ful or unconscious self-deception, the ther¬apy must continually break down. Or, inother words, who trusts and knows them¬selves enough to bring up thoughts or feel¬ings which they can then perfectly ana¬lyse? If the counselor is not able tointerpret the client’s input, it is argued,then those blockages in the therapy won’tbe able to be removed. However, listeningisn’t totally inflexible. Although the lackof outside objective input in this situationmight be limiting, the feelings and fears ofthe client may still be focused upon, lead¬ing perhaps to a better understanding ofthe blockage.One situation when listening does seemto be inappropriate is where the client isnot in control of his feelings and/or actions.Rogers himself mentions that if a clientmentions the possibility of or desire forsuicide, the counselor’s proper response isnot “so you are thinking of killing your¬self”. If a client cannot feel in control ofhimself, he cannot take responsibility forhis situation. Client Centered Therapydoes presuppose a certain individualstrength from its clients.Another objection to listening is that itseems very distant and clinical, that thecounselor comes off as some sort of auto¬maton which simply repeats the state¬ments of the client. Rogers feels that this isa misconception. If a therapy is empathicrather than analytic and declarative, thisdoesn’t mean that the counselor has toadopt a passive “laissez faire” role. Infact, the counselor's role in the listeninggive-and-take is a rather active one. Thecounselor helps the client in recognizingand clarifying emotions that he feels.Rogers argues that this process is as per¬sonal and intense as a more analytic ap¬proach, and feels from the evdience of hisclient’s experiences, that listening pro¬duces an extra warmth and compassionfelt by the client.Another argument takes the oppositeextreme: that listening produces such acomfortable atmosphere that any dynamictension between the client and counselor islost, and so the client loses the drive toproduce and define insights. Listening thusproduces an ‘easy’ therapy, one which dis¬courages work by the two participants. For a therapy that uses only listening as atechnique this could possibly be a valid ob¬jection. But as well as being a flexibletechnique itself, listening fits in well withpractically any other method of treat¬ment. Listening and Client Centered Thera¬py were not designed, according toRogers, to be a monolithic theraputic end,they are part of a process of theraputicmethod discovery, and in this original con¬ception, Rogers probably would not com¬plain about them being attacked as incom¬plete or stilted processes or theraputicmethods. And as to the lack of tension intheapy, anyone who has been in any formof counseling knows that this commoditycan be produced at any time by any inter¬nal or external source.One of the most fascinating aspects oflistening is that it can be adapted to per¬sonal as well as professional relations. Lis¬tening is always “safe” to use in a person¬al situation (if done well), since it isnon-judgmental and requires no input fromthe listener. It is doubly effective, since,for example, when a friend talks to an-othei friend, what the person probablywants most is warm friendly support. Theprecepts of listening, i.e. empathy and un¬conditional respect to the “client” fit thisdefinition perfectly. The university stu¬dent-run hotline is a good example of howlistening can be done on a personal level,as its volunteer students use reflective lis¬tening exclusively when talking to otherstudents who call up with things to talkabout. The hotline does use more ‘active’listening methods in crisis and other situa¬tions.The reason why the hotline uses reflec¬tive listening has many facets. Accordingto Vicky Sroczynski, one of the student Co¬coordinators of the hotline, the organiza¬tion was founded five years ago in re¬sponse to a need in the universitycommunity for information and supportsystems at night. “The theory was, that ifsomeone’s support systems failed, for ex¬ample, if none of the student’s friendswere around, or he or she couldn’t get intouch with parents, that there would besomeone there to talk to.” The reason thehotline chose to use reflective listening intalking to students instead of just talkingto them as friends would, has to do withthe effectiveness of listening as a tech¬nique, and the limitations of the volun¬teers. “Since we don’t necessarily knowthe person who is calling, and we are talk¬ ing over the phone instead of in person, lis¬tening is the best way to project our con¬cern over the phone." Also, Sroczynskisaid that since “hotliners” are not profes¬sional theapists, that directive input suchas snap judgements on their part aboutstudent’s lives (including friendly advice)would be arbitrary, inappropriate, andperhaps damaging. Hotliners do howevergo through a 35 to 40 hour training periodon how to ‘listen’ and deal with all othertypes of calls. One of the advantages oflistening as a technique is that it is easilylearned and can be used effectively bynon-professionals.The listening technique also adapts wellto phone work. Over the phone, it is hardto project a sense of caring, as one anony¬mous voice talks to another. Listening,however, can project a sense of under¬standing and attention. Sroczynski warns,though, that this isn’t a syrupy-sweet ‘wewant to listen to your problems’ attitudeon the part of hotliners. “We feel that ourlistening states that we respect and arewilling to listen to whomever calls, notthat we pity them or their situation.”One such common situation is that of peo¬ple calling the hotline for advice about aproblem in their lives. People often callthe hotline, explain some sort of dilemmaand then ask “what should I do?” It is herewhere listening is particular effective.Sroczynski says, “Instead of cutting peo¬ple off, trying to solve their problems likefriends sometimes do, we can explore withthe caller what he or she thinks and feelsabout each of the options they might haveto resolve the problem.” This refers backto the Rogerian thesis that people can andshould solve their own problems. The hot¬line also has resources and informationabout the university and other supportsystems to help callers develop or discovernew options that could help their situa¬tion.Listening, of course, can be used in otherareas than problem solving. Sroczynskithinks that it is "precisely because we arean anonymous, confidential person one cancall who doesn’t give advice, that we areso effective.” This is not to say of coursethat just the people on the hotline can ‘lis¬ten’ effectively. Anyone can learn to listenin a short amount of time. As an accessible‘safe’ sort of theraputic experience, it hasbeen touted as a therapy for the masses.Although by Illinois law anyone can hang asign on their door which says “therapist”,and legally treat patients (getting accre¬dited is another matter), it is unlikely thatthere will be Rogerian-based institutes onevery street corner. After all, how manypeople in the real world realize that theyhave problems that they want to deal within the company of another person, no mat¬ter how non-judgemental he or she is? Ofcourse, everyone also can’t become a pro¬fessional or near perfect listener, but thetechnique, accompanied by a certainamount of caring and a will to understandwhat someone else is saying, can be donein a competent manner. Although it isquestionable how much positive work canbe done on a ‘casual clients’ situation, it ispossible that the listener can help clarifysome of the issues and feelings that theperson is struggling with. This is not themain idea of listening anyway, as the mostimportant idea it contains is that of em¬pathy; the art of being with another per¬son which can hopefully be learned with¬out professional training. As usual, thelimits of the technique and its effective¬ness are constructed around an individu¬al's capacity to care enough about anotherperson in order to help them.LiPPMANcontinued from page 5against interest, was to Lippmann a realmof persisting but limited hardship, if na¬tional leaders were vigilant and usedpower judiciously, we would never escapethe demands of politics, but then again, itmight be possible to keep politics from be¬coming apocalyptic.Lippman’s pragmatic approach gave hima still point from which to analyze theshifting politics of the next 30 years. Hewas, for example, an early advocate of re¬sistance to Hitter. Nazism, he believed,threatened the balance of power in Europeand ultimately American security.Thus, Lippmann opposed appeasement.He attacked Neville Chamberlain’s sell-outat Munich as “a great military defeat”. Headvocated the repeal of the NeutralityActs that prevented our European friendsfrom buying American arms. And heplayed a key role in selling the idea of“lend-lease”, an exchange of fifty oldAmerican destroyers for British bases inthe Western Hemisphere, to both Presi¬dent Roosevelt and the American public.After the First World War, Lippmann’spragamatlc realpolitik equipped him to raise skeptical questions about the sup¬posed menace of Russian Communism. TheRussian wish for its own sphere of influ¬ence in Eastern Europe might be tragic, butin light of the recent war, Lippmann ar¬gued, there was little ground for calling itmorally despicable. Whether free or total¬itarian, great powers invariably and, heargued, properly seek security in a sphereof special influence. To deny the fact wouldbe to indulge in “the pretense, wholly illu¬sory and dangerously confusing, thatevery state has an identical influence, in¬terest, power and responsibility every¬where.” The question is of course not one¬sided, but if legitimate Russian securityinterests had been respected, if for exam¬ple the West had not created an anti-Rus¬sian NATO complete with a restored Ger¬man army, it might have been possible toneutralize central Europe and commit theRussians to taking a lighter hand in East¬ern Europe.A misguided globalism, Lippmann contin¬ued to argue in the mid 1960s, also led toLyndon Johnson’s escalation of the war inVietnam. The Vietnamese wer fighting notfor international communism but againstthe foreign domination of their country.The disproportion between the Vietnam¬ese desire for victory and American wil¬lingness to expend men and money was sogreat that we could not hope for militarysuccess. Charges of cowardice notwith¬ standing, Lippmann urged a negotiatedsettlement from the beginning of John¬son’s administration. A mature great na¬tion, he believed, would recognize thelimits of its own power and the limits of thedanger posed by its enemies and not pressfor total solutions in every possible con¬flict. “Since," he wrote, "in this genera¬tion we have become a great power, I amin favor of learning to behave like a greatpower, of getting rid of the globalismwhich would not only entangle us every¬where but is based on the totally vain no¬tion that if we do not set the world inord#r, no matter what the price, we cannotlive in the world safely...Now we some¬times talk as if we could preserve our puri¬ty only by policing the globe. But in thereal world we shall have to learn to live asa great power which defends itself andmakes its way among other greatpowers.”Lippmann’s political analysis since the1930s had focused chiefly on considera¬tions of power, but as the American in¬volvement in Vietnam grew more violentand irrational, his denunciations of the ad¬ministration picked up the moral tone, inSteel’s words, of a “Presbyterian minis¬ter.” “The root of (Johnson’s) troubles”,Lippmann wrote, “has been his pride, astubborn refusal to recognize thecountry’s limitations or his own limita¬tions...Such pride goeth before destruction and an haughty spirit before a fall.”As Lippmann’s feud with the administra¬tion reached its height, Lippmann himselfwas well past the age when most men arecomfortably into retirement. Worn andfrustrated, with no end to the war in sight,he abandoned “Today and Tomorrow” —much to Johnson’s satisfaction — in 1967at the age of 78.In the last twenty years of his career,conservatives had railed against Lipp¬mann as an appeaser on the model of Ne¬ville Chamberlain. The irony of the chargeis that had his voice been heeded beforeWorld War II, there might never have beenan appeasement model with which to pil¬lory him in later years. Rather, his tough-minded realpolitic suggests a middlecourse between ideological anti-commu¬nism and appeasement.Lippmann understood that the search fortotal solutions based on absolute ideals isnot appropriate to politics. We might notlike the Flussians, but we must live withthem. The nuclear dilemma is dreadful, butit has no unilateral solution. We have spe¬cial claims in our Central American sphereof influence, but these are not incompati¬ble with limited left-wing power.Steel’s book is an important reminder inthe 1980s that there is an alternative toReaganpolitik. The measured use of Amer¬ican power is also a vital American tradi¬tion.6—FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1984—THE GREY CITY JOURNAL♦Jack Rollins.. Charles H.Joffe.. . Susan E.

Cornell684-5400THE GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1984—7/WHO THE HELL IS PABLO REINHART?by Pablo ReinhartI never imagined that I would somedayhave to succumb to the position of provingmy own identity, but as the circumstancesstood I had no other choice but to assertmyself in the despicable direction of self-discovery. For years I had taken for grant¬ed the idea that my self was a constant en¬tity and had always scowled at suchundignified behavior as harboring post¬adolescent notions of finding one’s self. Atthe moment, however, unfavorable circum¬stances were prevailing as usual and ‘Me’seemed to be sinking into the vacillatorydepths of variability. I would now have todig deeply within my complacent andbeautifully solid personality in order toprove to the rest of the world that I wasreally me and not someone else, hopingthat the impendent vice versa might notcome to be a reality (for those of slowerwit this impendent factor could only bethat I would prove to be someone else andnot Me). Help!...The predicament is as follows: a weekago last Wednesday I submitted to theCommittee on Social Thought the finaldraft of my dissertation on the apparentrelations between bestial self-fertilizationand the sexual habits of upper-middleclass families in southern Conncticut. I hadspent several months treading across fine-trimmed lawns knocking on the doors ofquaint shingled houses in hopes of inspect¬ing the clandestine sexual relations of thissomewhat conservative stratum of soci¬ety. I considered it an important issuesince it has always been a mystery as tohow the people of respectable homes man¬aged to procreate because copulation, orworse, fuck is never mentioned at the din¬ner table; people have started to wonderwhether they know how to do it at all. Ul¬timately, I hope to establish a day carecenter were amiable social workers canteach these underprivileged people fromthe right homes how to perform sexual in¬tercourse; cocktails, of course, would beserved after the harrowing ordeal wasonce completed. Anyway, I was in themidst of my final draft and had possiblydiscovered the method of self-fertilizationthat these people had been using all theseyears to reproduce in their attempt toavoid humping and all the breaches of eti¬quette that accompanied this unmention¬able act. But what happened to me? Ohyes, my identity became immersed in thisissue and was possibly destined to neverreturn, unless we can help it. I shall returnto my explanation.As a result of my shyness (which is ob¬viously not evident in this bold essay, be¬cause interior monologues are so wonder¬fully concealing) I submitted mydissertation under a pseudonym, PabloReinhart. The name was appropriate sinceI had always fantasized of having a moreinteresting ethnic backgound; at four Iintheit.

Joseph Jachna, Door County, Wisconsin, 1980would have murdered my father in return-for an afro that would have allowed me toresemble my favorite characters in theJackson Five cartoon, and if push came toshove I would have certainly settled for aDiana Ross hairdo. The pseudonym, how¬ever, caused an incredible amount of con¬fusion. It had never occurred to me thatThe Committee on Social Thought wouldhave no way of knowing the true identityof the brilliant author of Sex among theVolvo-Driving Classes — Does it Happen?Or is intercourse merely another term usedto describe the Fluctuations of the DowJones Average? I realized too late thatwhen they searched for their belovedPablo on the list of potential Ph.D candi¬dates they would not be able to find him.And what’s worse, the Commitee on SocialThought paid little attention to the indi¬vidual, based on their intellectual princi¬ples of analyzing society collectively; sonone of them knew me personally, to themI was merely another unit in the vastarray of social phenomena.This was the first stage. My identity hadnow been lost at the chalk-stained finger¬tips of twelve tweedy academics.“Pablo Reinhart? who the hell is PabloReinhart?” they would ask.The next day I marched down to the of¬fice of Social Thought, overflowing withself-love. I knew who I was and would nowhave to prove it. The halls of the officewere bare except for a small portrait ofthe founder hanging next to the main of¬fice. His canine jowls seemed to shake atme as I walked by him. After entering thereception room I asked the secretary if Icould see Professor Wobegone, who, inci¬dentally, was the chairman of the commit¬ tee; he was an amiable man with a lack ofhair and a passion for cigarettes. Whenthe secretary asked me who I was I hesi¬tated to reveal my true identity becauseof the dissertation at issue.“Pablo Reinhart,” I said. Never in lifehad I seen a more confused expression ona woman’s face. She merely stared at mefor several seconds, agape and, needlessto say, dumbstricken. After regaining hercomposure she explained to me in a typi¬cally condescending and bureaucratic man¬ner that the seven people sitting behindme were also claiming to be the mysteriousPablo. I was thereupon instructed to sitdown and wait my turn.I turned around and saw before meseven anxious Ph.D. candidates claimingto be me in order to acquire their degrees.Apparently word had gotten out thatPablo was not to be found, so the moreslothful students who had not yet complet¬ed their papers decided to claim mine fortheir own, an easy way out. For a brief mo¬ment I thought that escape would be simp¬le, I would merely have to explain mythesis and my identity would be revealed;but as usual the committee, in all of theiracademic wisdom and analytical power,had decided to overlook the most sensiblesolution in favor of a more esoteric one.They had assigned a psychiatrist to ana¬lyze the hidden motives behind the disser¬tation and to examine the personality dis¬orders of each Pablo Reinhart in hopes ofmatching the neurosis of the real Pablowith the dissertation’s disorders. It was abrilliant plan and unfortunately they weregoing to give it the old deplorable collegetry.As you can see my journey to self-discov¬ ery would once again have to be post¬poned since I was having difficulty prov¬ing myself to others. I’m still not quite surewhat comes first — self-realization or pub¬lic-realization — do you have to knowyourself in order to have other peopleknow you? Whatever the answer is I wasin a real fix; both my public identity wasunknown and my personal identity washaving trouble surfacing since seven otherselves were crowding around me with apassionate desire to be me. Needless tosay, I felt lost.I couldn’t bear the sight of most of them.The thought of losing my degree was theleast of my worries. The only thing thatconcerned me now was preventing any ofthese asinine creatures from becoming me.As I looked around the room I imaginedone of these acne-ridden nightmares actu¬ally having the privilege of calling himselfPablo the Ph.D. Suddenly the traditionalunadulterated stomach turn began to setin. I decided that I needed to use the toilet,responding patriotically to my bowels,otherwise known as my better self.Upon entering the can I encounterednone other than old Wobegone, the em¬ployed psychiatrist, and oqe of my person¬ality competitors. Apparently they hadjust finished interviewing this other meand were now relieving themselves duti¬fully, as all educated people should. AsWobegone withdrew from his urinal helooked at the psychiatrist and uttered themost heart-rending words that I everheard.“Well Jack, I don’t really see any pointin talking to any of the others. This is ob¬viously the disturbed young man whowrote that brilliant essay.” Needless tosay, he was not referring to me. He thenzipped his fly to further emphasize thatthe case was closed.Old Wobegone had once more been de¬ceived. My competitor, who was nowwashing his hands and looking proudly athis teeth in the mirror, had somehow per¬suaded Wobegone that he was just as dis¬turbed as I was. I wasn’t surprised though:as a sociologist Wobegone was brilliant,but when it came to personal problems hewas an idiot. Rumor once had it that whenhis wife left him he didn’t realize anythinghad changed until the annual reports onthe national divorce rate were issued todepartmental heads; when the sociologicalramifications of “Divorce” became asso¬ciated in his mind with the idea that he hadbeen sleeping alone for the past fivemonths he finally realized that somethinghad definitely changed. Well, I can’t blamehim, we all make mistakes, we all do.

The Spectator prospec¬tus proposed, “We hope to obtain ad¬vertising from political publicationssuch as The National Review and TheAmerican Spectator and to secure ad¬vertisements from private companiessuch as Mobil and Shell Oil.”The paper’s financial situation is a“chicken and egg problem,” said Ra-bieh. “You can’t put out a paper with¬out advertising and you can’t get ad¬vertising without a paper to show.” Asa result, a fundraising campaign wasimplemented to obtain funds to createsuch a paper.Elden said donations came from in¬terested students, faculty membersand organizations. “We received asmall grant from a conservative orga¬nization — $1500 from the US IndustrialCouncil Education Foundation(ICEF).”In a phone interview with the ICEFin Nashville, spokesman John Cregensaid the group sends professionallydrawn editorial cartoons free of chargeto the student publications they help fi¬nance. “For lack of a better label, youcould call the cartoons conservative,”admitted Cregen.Elden said he saw no problems withor obligations stemming from the ar¬rangement. “If we like them, we’llprint them. If we don’t, we won’t.”Cregen said The Spectator was con¬cerned about whether a first group ofcartoons would arrive in time for thefirst issue.In a fundraising cover letter ob¬tained by the Maroon, Elden made thelist of contributors more specific. “Wereceived donations from two Universi¬ty of Chicago professors and from John Bookout, president of the Shell Oil Cor¬poration.”When presented this information,Elden volunteered some details. “Wegot one small contribution from some¬one who is the president of an oil com¬pany. He happens to be associated withsomeone on the staff and it’s a personalcontribution.”Jack Daugherty from the HoustonPublic Affairs department of Shell Oiltook series issue with the wording ofthe cover letter. “I think a more accu¬rate statement would be ‘a check don¬ated on behalf of the Shell Oil Com¬pany.’ ” According to Daugherty, thecontribution was for $500, a figure laterconfirmed by bookkeeper Bloom.In addition, the cover letter said eachstaff member gave $50 of his ownmoney to the enterprise. Elden added,“We’ve gotten 10 or so other peopleputting up money, but they’re not thatsizeable.”“People resent outside influences,but shouldn’t,” Elden continued. “In¬stead of resenting money from the out¬side, people should be glad that thesesources want to help bring somethinginformative and interesting to theschool.”Bloom, who denied any editorial af*filiation with The Spectator, said mostcontributions were $50 or less. Howev¬er, he added, enough money was col¬lected to produce three or four issues.The costs of the new publication re¬main a secret. But production headElias speculated that it costs “consi¬derably less than what the Maroon ispaying. We are doing it ourselvesthrough word processing on the maincomputers.” They are also distributingthe papers themselves.A preliminary Spectator budget setseach issue’s cost at $1163: $40 for wordprocessing; $60, photography; $588,printing; $400, typesetting; $40, fun¬petitioncontinued from page fiveSome have pointed out that late-termabortion is relatively rare, and thatmost women regard it with repug¬nance. I, for one, hope so; but if, ac¬cording to Friday’s letter by MadeleineLevin, Heather Blair, et. al., somethinglike 10,000 to 15,000 fetuses older thanfive months were aborted in 1980 (thatis “less than 1 percent” of 1980’s ap¬proximately 1,500,000 abortions) thenit’s only “rare” in relation to overallstatistics which exceed individual com-' prehension. Who, after all, can visual¬ize 1,500,000 of anything? What10,000-15,000 late-term abortions in 1980means is that many, many members ofthe genus homo sapiens, viable andhealthy, were killed each day of thatyear, and not so far from where you’resitting, without a legal charge or atrial. Repugnant, rare, or not, it was allentirely legal. We may not like a doctorwho will, for a price, dismember anine-month old fetus, without anasthe-tlc, because the mother wants to pur¬sue a career; but we can’t under pres¬ent law take him or her to court andexpect to win. If this example strikesyou as extreme and sensational, Iagree that it is; but it’s all quite poss¬ible. Many of us who signed the petitionfeel that a law which allows this possi¬bility is sensationally, extremely bad.Illinois is a prime example of thestate’s actual inability to legislate ef¬fectively against late-term abortions,even when they want to. In 1975, the Illi¬nois legislature passed what was themost stringent abortion law possibleunder Roe and Doe, stating that “whenthe fetus is viable no abortion shall beperformed unless medically necessaryto preserve the life or health of themother” (Illinois Criminal Code, Abor¬tion Law of 1975, as amended 1979, Sec¬tion 5, Paragraph 2). Thus it can’t betrue, as Madeleine Levin, HeatherBlair, et. al. contend in their letter oflast Friday, that “in Illinois...abortionscan only be obtained up until the 21stweek of pregnancy” and that only inlife-threatening situations can awoman receive an abortion in the 3rdtrimester” (emphases mine). Thelegal cut-off point is “viability,” as leftstrictly undefined by the High Court,and the circumstances justifying post-viable abortions include maternalhealth, defined as broadly as possible.The quotation marks around10—The Chicago Maroon— Friday, February “health” in our grey inset box haveraised some hackles and some com¬ment. I must say that we meant themas quotation marks, not as sarcasm,since we were quoting that importantterm from the Court’s ruling; yet,given the tension surrounding the defi¬nition of that loaded word, many readsarcasm into it. We didn’t intend to be¬little maternal health, and if we were torun the ad again, I’d leave the word un¬marked in order to avoid unnecessaryoffense. Still, perhaps those who hearsarcasm in those quotion marks per¬ceive some irony present in the totallatitude given toiill intra-uterine life inthe name of health. Certainly many ofus who signed the petition do.And while we’re on the subject ofhackles, an honest mistake on my partproduced an honest charge of dishon¬esty in the “Viewpoints” section fromone of the signers. I owe him and thecommunity a public (and regrettablytedious) apology and explanation. Hewas justifiably upset because, aftersigning on the condition that only theshort masthead statement would ap¬pear in the ad with the names, he foundthe grey inset box added in the pub¬lished petition, with the offensive quo¬tation marks around “health.” Thishappened for two reasons: first, he wasone of nine people (out of 285) whosigned the petition in an abbreviatedform in a church bulletin, and thereforedidn’t have access to the informationalsheet attached to all other circulatingpetitions, sheets which contained theexact text of the summary printed inthe grey inset box. Second, the womanwho told him that the masthead alonewould appear in the ad was telling thetruth as she knew it, since the decisionto include the legal summary wasmade late in the circulation process,after a number of signers warned usthat the masthead statement by itselfwas so terse as to be confusing. I there¬fore opted to include the inset box in theinterest of clarity, but wasn’t able tonotify previous signers, although near¬ly all of them had access to the summa¬ry when they signed. I’ve spoken withthe offended party, and he’s acceptedmy apology. I regret the confusion, butno other signers have complained, asfar as I know.I’d also like to answer Jim Johnson’squestion about the point of the ad. Thepoint is that these 285 people in the U ofC community oppose the present abor¬tion law (and, by the way, the 2-to-lI, 1984 draising and office supplies; and $35,communications. But Elden said theseestimates were too high. If the budgetwas written at the same time as theprospectus, it is probably a year oldand subject to major revision.The Spectator prospectus, in whatwas apparently a directed appeal forfunds, questioned the quality of othercampus publications, notably theMaroon, the Grey City Journal (GCJ)and the conservative magazine Coun¬terpoint.Elias said, “Their feeling was thatthe Maroon looked at things in a cur¬sory way. What they hoped to do wasdevelop a forum for more news analy¬sis, with charts and more graphs.”Elden told Maroon reporters “TheMaroon is fine. We’re just supplement¬ing it. We’re offering what it doesn’tprovide.”But the prospectus ventured that theMaroon “is widely known for its poorjournalism and layout,” and “TheGrey City Journal is published by a lib¬eral group of students who review andprint feminist and avante-garde (SIC)literature, in addition to sexually ex¬plicit poetry.”GCJ Co-Editor Brian Mulligan said“Since I’ve become editor, we have un¬fortunately not published one piece offeminist or avant-garde literature. Inthe last three years on the GCJ, there’sonly been one poem with explicit sex¬ual imagery.”“Their willful ignorance of ourpaper,” he said, “is a sure sign ofsloppy reporting.”Rabieh, explaining the frankness ofthe prospectus’ statement on the GCJ,said, “You’ve got to realize that theprospectus was drawn up to drawmoney. It’s not that we disagree (now)with the prospectus, it’s just that it waswritten with two potential conservativesources of money in mind, and that fla¬ vored it.”Elden said, “Their role as I under¬stand it is to provide features for theMaroon. 1 don’t think it serves its pur¬pose.” And Rabieh concluded, “It’sseen among students as a leftist publi¬cation — whether or not it’s true, it’sperceived as that.”According to the Spectator prospec¬tus, “people tend to have a short atten¬tion span, especially when they have aheavy workload, which is the case withmost University of Chicago students.Keeping articles short will enhance thereadibility of our product and help sat¬isfy our goal of high readership.”“This is not a political campus,” Ra¬bieh said. “They’re talkers, not acti¬vists. I hope this paper will increasethe political involvement on campus.”“It’s not like we’re a whole bunch ofpeople who are conservatives,” em¬phasized Elden in defense of misper¬ceptions about his own paper. “Whatwe’re trying to do is offer somethingthat doesn’t exist on campus: in-depthnews analysis as opposed to news re¬porting, better and more feature cover¬age, local things. This is not propagan¬da. It is rational, intelligent newsanalysis.”Rabieh said the word he would like tosee associated with the publication is“rational.”To adverise the paper, the group hasput up flyers around campus whichsay, “The Spectator is watching you.Watch for it on Feb. 6.” From the looksof it, students will indeed be keeping aclose eye on the publication, watchingboth its production and editorial direc¬tions.In summation, Elden urged, “Itdoesn’t matter what I say; it doesn’tmatter what you’ve heard or read. Ifyou want to see what the paper’s like,read it Monday.”ratio of men to women pretty much re¬flects the ratio in the University as awhole). Why? Fora variety of reasons:some may feel that the Court over¬stepped its Constitutional limits by ac¬tually creating legislation; some op¬pose late-term abortions on demand,some mid-term, some from the 38thday (when brain waves usually begin),some abortion on demand from concep¬tion onward. Some may feel that thepresent US law allows the exploitationof women by permitting second trimes¬ter abortions in clinics or by fosteringthe qption that abortion is a “quickfix,” when it is not. Some signers mayhold to a number of these reasons, or toothers. Except for those who are myfriends, I don’t know. I signed for all ofthe above reasons.As to our “posture of moral superior¬ity” that is “not conducive to a searchfor clarity”—what can we say? The pe¬tition doesn’t read “We, the under¬signed, who are better than everybodyelse...” As a Christian, I particularlyabhor self-righteousness, especially inmyself. Isn’t it wrong to treat women,or peasants, as objects, or property?Not just distasteful or counter-prod¬uctive, but plain wrong? And isn’t itright to look out for people weaker thanourselves? If the unborn are people(and many of us are con viced that theyare), they are certainly the weakest of.the weak. A society like ours can onlywork if the strong protect the weak,especially those who can’t speak forPro-choicecontinued from page fivetrouble me, too. But “pro-life” is aphrase that has been taken over by peo¬ple who are working for a Human Lifeamendment, a constitutional amend¬ment that would give equal protectionunder the law to even a four-celled con-ceptus. Would this bring about criminalinvestigation of all women who miscar¬ry? Outlawing of IUD’s which preventimplantation in the uterine wall afterconception? I couldn’t be sure that thepeople who signed the ad weren’t wish¬ing to outlaw all abortions. Abortionhas been illegal in the past and the re¬sults are well-known. An average of 359women died per year from illegal abor¬tions from 1959-62 and only 23 died fromthese 23 deaths were from illegal abor¬tions. themselves. If believing there’s a rightand wrong somewhere outside therealm of pure mathematics makes onea moral prig, I suppose most of us qual¬ify.As for the pursuit of clarity, all of uswho signed are clear about one thing—we don’t like this law. I hope that morepeople will write in to say why theydon’t like it, and to begin discussing al¬ternatives. And for those of you wholike the present law in its entirety,please write in to say why you think it’sa good or even a necessary thing. Dis¬cussion is what our petition is all about.So far, we’ve heard nothing much morethan objections to what some construeas our collective tone of voice.Having aired all of the dirty laundrythat I can find (most of it, I’m afraid,being mine), I must say that while thepetition is not flawless, either in its cir¬culation or its presentation, it is an hon¬est; accurate, and focused statementby a group of concerned Universitypeople on an issue of supreme impor¬tance, and a statement that is entirelyfitting with the larger purpose of theUniversity in its search for truth.

TheMaroons reeled off 18 consecutivepoints, 6 coming off steals and fastbreaks.The real story of the game was shoot-ting percentage. It wasn’t that Beloitwas not getting the shots; they justwere not hitting them. Chicago shot 52percent from the field while Beloittossed in a feeble 19 percent. “Theyhad a good motion offense. They weregetting a lot of shots because they didwell on the boards,” added Nestel.All but one Maroon figured in thescoring, with Gates, Helen Straus, andWendy Pietrzak all in double figures.Karen Walsh led the Maroons with sixassists, whila Sheila Dugan chipped infour.Chicago (10-4, 7-0) shoots for itseighth straight win Saturday afternoonagainst Augustana College. “They area real strong ball club.

It’s still possible to sign up this afternoonat the IM Office on the second floor of IdaNoyes...and speaking of women’s basketball, CoeCollege coach Charlene Cline had this to say afterthe Maroons flogged her Cohawks last weekend: “Idon’t think Chicago will be in the conference champi¬onship game. It will be St. Norbert and us.” Sheadded, “I take nothing away from Chicago. Diann(Nestel) and her team are very good. I hapen tothink they caught St. Norbert by surprise. St. Nor¬bert is a very physical team and when they get youup in Green Bay they are tough.”Apparently, Cline is not alone.Beloit College’s head coach Wendy Miller saidafter Wednesday’s game, “Truthfully, I don’t thinkChicago can win up in Green Bay.” Why? Nestel re¬plied “I really don’t know. Maybe they know some¬thing we don’t. I doubt it. I wouldn’t trade the kids onthis team for any other.” We’ll have to wait and seeif Cline’s and Miller’s prophecy holds true.* * *Moving on to the NBA for a moment. Though it wasa second-rate time for sports last weekend (exceptfor the surprising North Carolina-LSU game), theNBA All-Star game did provide some relief for thefamed U of C procrastinators who put off their 100pages of reading until after “Doctor Who.” Thegame featured some fantastic moves, shots, andstuffs, but the highlight came at halftime with thesecond annual “Dunk Championship of the World,”in which Phoenix’s Larry Vance outslammed otherpituitary abnormalities such as Chicago’s OrlandoWoolridge, Houston’s (overrated?) Ralph Sampson,and Julius Erving...Trading Reggie Theus will make little differencein the Chicago Bulls’ way of play, for their problemsrun much deeper than trying to keep Reggie happy.Granted my most recent impression of the Bullscame from attending the Celtics-Bulls game onTuesday, when Theus came off the bench to score 15points and play 25 minutes. What really hurts theBulls is a lack of an inside game. For instance, Bos¬ton almost doubled Chicago in total rebounds, andmany of those Celtics rebounds were offensive.Center Dave Corzine made no impression at all, forthe only time you could tell he even played camewhen he walked upcourt behind the guards on a goodnumber of offensive series.Chicago could not work the ball low to DavidGreenwood and Woolridge, and had to shoot from theoutside (their other major weakness) as a result. Ascoach Kevin Loughery said, teams have been col¬lapsing their defenses to force Chicago to shoot fromthe outside more often. He has begun to play Theusagain because of this, and hopefully will keep himaround. Why? Because what Chicago needs cannotcome from trading one player like Theus. Chicagoneeds a legitimate NBA center, and there are not toomany of those available anywhere, so the Bullsshouldn’t trade Theus just to unload him, only to getstuck with someone of equal caliber as Corzine in re¬turn. Trading Theus constitutes just another stupidtrade.♦ * *Maroon head football coach Mick Ewing couldhave used Hal the Referee’s help last football sea¬son. Hal Lebovitz, who works for the Cleveland PlainDealer and writes the “Ask Hal the Referee” columnin The Sporting News, recently ruled on a situationsimilar to one that occurred in the Chicago-Beloitfootball game, this past year, in which Beloit won.In that game, Maroon wide receiver Eric Smithcommitted pass interference in the end zone, and theold rule (which was enforced at that moment) saidthat offensive pass interference in the end zone re¬sults in a touchback, and the defense takes over on its own 20. According to Lebovitz, that rule disap¬peared from the books a couple of years ago, so of¬fensive pass interference in the end 2one nowadaysis the same penalty as anywhere else — 15 yards.It should still be Maroons’ ball in Beloit territory.* * *What important date lies only 60 days away? Theopening of the 1984 baseball season, with the Metsplaying Cincinnati. Before that though, a few itemsshould top the priority lists of the White Sox’ RolandHemond and the Cubs’ Dallas Green.In a few years, and possibly by 1985, the Cubs willfield a lineup that could remain set for quite sometime. The only piece to the puzzle that still plays inthe minors is Showan Dunston, the Cubs’ number onedraft pick in 1982. Dunston hit .321 in his first minorleague season, on the heels of a high school career inBrooklyn where he hit a phenomenal .737 his senioryear, with a 37-for-37 stolen base mark. Pairing Dun¬ston with Gold Glover Ryne Sandberg in the middleof the infield, moving Leon Durham to first base (ifthey don’t trade him), and keeping Ron Cey at thirduntil he decides to hang up his glove, gives the Cubs astable infield. And the outfield of Joe Carter, MelHall, and Keith Moreland will still have severalyears together. The one hole (gaping, no doubt) ispitching. The Cubs improved themselves by gettingScott Sanderson over the winter from Montreal, andhave two other passable starters in Chuck Raineyand Dick Ruthven. Getting a pitcher as a fourthstarter or a middle reliever/spot starter could pro¬vide just enough mileage for the Cubs to threaten fora while, if the bullpen remains strong with LeeSmith.As for the White Sox, third base and shortstop stillloom as big question marks. Chicago doesn’t seem tobe worried about winning the AL West again (thoughTexas and California should challenge), but to beatanyone from the AL East in the playoffs the Sox needto improve still. The only “name” infielders avail¬ able are Buddy Bell of Texas and Damaso Garcia ofToronto, though Johnny Ray of the Pirates haspopped up in talks as well. With a surplus of pitching,including Tom Seaver amd guys in the minors likeRandy Martz and Steve Mura, the Sox ought to swingsomething for an infielder, and a good one, beforeOpening Day.Spring training begins in less than a month, andthe trading begins Feb. 15 so the action isn’t faroff.* * *Steve Snider, captain and sweeper back for theWashington University of St. Louis soccer team, waskilled last month when his car skidded on an icy roadand collided with another car.

Chamberlin stands insecond in that division, and the two teams meet atthe end of February.In the M-W-F league Henderson and Fallers bothhave a chance, but things may change because theseason is so long and culminates at exam time. Dud¬ley displayed the best shooting in beating Psi U,54-31, but their defense needs a little work.Roger McCann’s team (Charley’s Deep SeaDivers) won the college championship last year, andthey appear as a favorite to repeat, as they haverolled over all oppostion so far. They won’t play theirclosest challenger in the men’s independent division— C-Men — until March, when some members ofboth teams will be working out with the varsity base¬ball team.Tufts defeated Divinity in the best women’s gameof the season, 39-35. The game was even closer thanthe score indicates, as both teams received great de¬fense and shooting. The outcome swayed on thestrength of Tufts inside game, though, especiallytheir rebounding. In other action, Out of Season con¬tinues to roll, beating Salisbury/Dodd, 48-15.* * *In the graduate division, Too Swift and HiTopsplayed a great game on Tuesday. Too Swift pre- vailed, 50-39, after leading at halftime by three. TooSwift’s Larry Hatchett couldn’t buy a second halffree throw or field goal, as HiTops neutralized him,but the HiTops couldn’t shut down the Too Swift in¬side game.HiTops got into foul trouble early, as their big menKen More and Bob Moog ended the third quarterwith four each. But Bob Green kept them in the gamewith timely shooting to relieve the burden. To theircredit, Moog and More avoided fouling out until latein the game, and helped keep the game close for awhile. These two teams will certainly be seen againin the playoffs.Whether Bovver Boys can live up to its own billingin the graduate league remains a mystery as well.With a couple of strong, talented players and a 6-8center, Bovver Boys may have some advantages,and feels it can win the championship.* * *Teams should check schedules for games thatwere rescheduled due to facilities conflicts. Other in¬formation and standings are available in the IM Of¬fice, second floor of Ida Noyes.Please watch this space for a review of the gradleague possibilities, when the races should be shap¬ing up.Finally, the last IM Wire mistakenly referred toBob Green as the fieldhouse guru. Richard Meland isthe guru; Green is just a gym rat. And the GoonSquad was started by John Robertson (Zin) someyears ago, not Andy Firstman, as was reported lastweek.
