The Chicago MaroonVolume 93, No. 35 The University of Chicago ©Copyright 1984 The Chicago Maroon Friday, February 17, 19841984*85 tuition to increase by nine percentBy Edward HernstadtTuitions will increase for thesixth straight year, the univer¬sity announced yesterday fol¬lowing a Board of Trusteesmeeting at which the hikeswere approved.Undergraduate costs willrise from $7920 to $8670, a 9.5percent increase, while gradu¬ate students in the arts andsciences will pay $9060, ninepercent more than in 1983-84.Students in the professionalschools face percentage in¬creases from 8.5 percent forthe Law School to 11 percentfor the Graduate School ofBusiness.The “term bill,” which con¬sists of tuition, room andboard, and required fees, willrise 8.2 percent for freshmenand 7.3 percent to $13,427 forupperclassmen owning a foodcontract and living in universi¬ty housing. The activities feewill remain at $5, but the stu¬dent health fee will rise from$36 to $39. The $15 athleticlocker facilities fee once againwill be charged separately.Yesterday’s tuition in¬creases are lower than thosefor each of the past threeyears, continuing a trend start¬ed last year.The university also an¬nounced boosts in student fi¬nancial aid, increasing themonies available from the uni¬versity’s unrestricted fund 21percent to $5.8 million for un¬dergraduates, 11 percent to$6.9 million for graduate stu¬dents in the arts and sciences,and 10 percent to $3.8 millionfor graduate students in theprofessional schools. These in¬creases will enable 6 percentmore students to receive aid in1984-85. Commenting on the tuitionincreases, University of Chica¬go President Hanna Gray em¬phasized the university’s com¬mitment to “maintaining (its)quality,” saying that “The in¬crease is necessary for a broadrange of needs, from libraryacquisitions and laboratoryrenovations to the creation andstrengthening of such impor¬tant programs as our new de-partment of computersciences.”Gray also underlined the im¬portance of higher faculty sa¬laries in preserving and im¬proving the university’sreputation for excellence inteaching and scholarship.* “Although we have improvedthem (the salaries), we mustdo more to make them compet¬itive if we are to retain and re¬cruit the best scholars.”Gray restated strongly theuniversity’s support of its “aidblind” admissions policy. “Noqualified student in the collegeshould be refused admissionfor financial reasons, andgraduate students must be as¬sured of our best efforts tomake available the funds theyneed to complete their workhere.”“No one enjoys increasedcosts,” Gray noted. But shepointed out that in the face of“aging facilities,” and the con¬tinued decay of “federal fund¬ing (in real dollars) for studentaid and for the research thathas traditionally characterizedthis university.” She addedthat the increases are neces¬sary if the university is to “beable to attract and retain thestrongest faculty and stu¬dents” and “provide first-ratefacilities for both.” TUITION FOR THE 1984-1985 ACADEMIC YEAR:AREA 1983-84 1984-85 PERCENTINCREASEThe College $7920 $8670 9.5Graduate Divisions 8310 9060 9.0Graduate Library School,School ** Social Ser¬vice Administration 7980 8700 9.0Divinity School, Committeeon Public Policy 8115 8850 9.0Law School 9405 10,200 8.5Graduate School of BusinessPritzker School of Medicine 9400 10,450 11.01st and 2nd year students 9150 9975 9.03rd and 4th year students 11,995 13,035 8.7Polish official visit draws protestBy Rosemary BlinnMembers of the Pomost So¬ciopolitical Movement and thePolish American Congressprotested Vice Consul of thePolish Consulate Jacek Gaea’sattendance at a dinner/recep¬tion held in InternationalHouse Tuesday.James zmuaa oi Fomost’sexecutive committee com¬mented, “We feel the Universi¬ty of Chicago, an international¬ly acclaimed University... isshowing approval and even ac¬ceptance of the Polish regimeby inviting this man (Gaea) tospeak.

Paul Simon (D-22), StateSenate President Philip Rock,and Alex Seith in the March 20Democratic primary.Washington had spokenglowingly of Rock, and themayor hinted last summer hewould back the choice of theDemocrats’ state central com¬mittee for the nomination.Rock, as former chairman ofthe committee, easily won theofficial party backing.Since the committee en¬dorsement, however, Washing¬ton has remained neutral on the race. Rock said Mondaythe mayor would not endorseany of the four candidatesRoland BurrisInsideAtomic Bulletinpage eightStevie RayVaughan interviewgcj cover seeking the right to challengeRepublican incumbent CharlesPercy.Burris, though, both at aWednesday press conferenceand yesterday, said the mayorhas told him through privateconversations he will endorseBurris’s bid, although Burrishas “no idea” when that willbe.Burris, currently the Illinoisstate comptroller, discussedthe mayor’s eventual choicefor the nomination on WHPK’s“South Side Forum,” yester¬day. The comptroller ad¬dressed a variety of issues onthe show, including the nation¬al deficit, defense spending,economic issues, foreign af¬fairs, and Burris's politicalprospects in the Senate pri¬mary.Burris came out against in¬dexing of wages against“bracket creep.” Although histhree Democratic opponentshave endorsed indexing.Burris stressed it should not beinstituted, as inflation rateshave currently tapered off andindexing would cost the federalgovernment $50 billion a yearin revenues.He advocates cutting cur¬rent deficits by not institutingwasteful defense spending,which Burris says will cut ex¬penditures by $30 billion peryear.Although Burris advocateselimination of “wasteful” de¬fense spending, he also spokecontinued on page twelve “bridge” in Polish, is in favorof “a free and independent Po¬land,” according to Zmuda.They take a political approachto removing the present re¬gime by supporting Tom Cor¬coran. who is challenging Sen¬ator Charles Percy. Corcoranwants to renounce the 1945Yalta Agreement.The rest of the 10 protestorswere from the Polish Ameri¬can Congress, which could notbe reached for comment.Zmuda said the Congressfavors humanitarian actions tofree the Polish people from go¬vernmental exploitation.Lester Stermer. executivedirector of I-House. said thatthe protestors were expectedand that no attempt was madeto disband them. “It’s theirright to protest as long as theystay on the sidewalk in front ofI-House. They just can’t comein the building. They madetheir point and left peaceful¬ly,” Stermer said.He commented that some ofthe protestors were present forthe question and answer ses¬sion after Gaea presented thePolish government’s position on Polish US relations.Stermer said that the protes¬ters restricted themselves to“constructive criticism”which in Stermer’s opinion ledto “useful dialogue.”However, Zmuda claimsthat he and two members ofPomost were asked to sit downat the table where the talk wasbeing given or leave. Zmudasays he and one of the otherswent outside before the dinnerbegan because. “Would you sitdown to dinner with a memberof the Ku Klux Klan? This man(Gaea) is a criminal; he repre¬sents jail cells and bullets, alawless regime which usespsychological terror.”The U of C is the first univer¬sity where Gaea has spokensince he became Vice Consulfive months ago. Stermer said,“It was apparent that many ofGaea's answers were not satis¬fying,” despite “pointed, diffi¬cult” questions posed by I-House residents. Stermerattributes this to Gaea’s diffi¬culty in speaking English andbecause, “he had to answeralong well-established Polishgovernment grounds.”Computer on the fritzBy Michael ElliottThe chemistry departmentcomputer, a VAX 11/780 man¬ufactured by the Digital Elec-torics Corporation (DEC),malfunctioned Feb. 3. Thoughall information was eventuallyrecovered, some graduate stu¬dents and professors were leftin limbo for four days as towhether their programs anddata would ever be found.The VAX 11/780 is a massivemachine designed to do themillions of operations per sec¬ond needed for modern mathe¬matical modeling in someareas of physics and chemis¬try. Information is stored with¬in the computer itself, as wellas on ‘hard copy’ (that is,typed onto paper), on magnet¬ic tape, and on magneticdisks.Magnetic disks are the mostefficient and convenient way tostore large amounts of infor¬mation for a long period oftime, since it does not have tobe kept in the computer itself,yet can be read more quickly than any of the other methods.It was these disks that couldnot be read two weeks agotoday.Graduate student MollyMoon was particularly affect¬ed: “I got a telephone call onFriday from one of the sys¬tems managers telling me allmy files of storage were ina-cessible. On Monday, a sys¬tems manager told me that 95percent of the information hadbeen recovered — but my w’orkwas lost in the remaining 5 per¬cent”, a loss that representedfour-and-a-half years re¬search. After that, conflictinginformation followed: “I wastold that some company mightbe contacted that would havethe technology for getting theinformation out. Then I wastold that, as a user, / should getin contact with a firm thatwould have facilities to help,”said Moon.Not knowing any high-techcomputer companies or com¬puter experts personally,continued on page seven.

OLIN CENTERpresentsWILLIAM BENNETTDirector of theNational Endowment for the HumanitiesTHE SHAME OF THEGRADUATE SCHOOLSREVISITEDTuesday, February 214:00 p.m.Breasted Hall1155 E. 58th StreetThe Chicago Maroon—Friday, February 17, 1984—3SG committee no real solution to social lifeTo the editor:- - V.J| §, . , "., I’d like to know what message TimWong was trying to convey in “What¬ever happened, to easy answers”(Maroon, 2/7/84): Was he complainingabout the social life at U of C, putting ina plug for Student Government elec¬tions, or attempting to correlate thetwo together? The solution he proposesof sett ing up a committee with the helpof Student Government to discuss ><>-oral life on campus is no real solution.The real answer is to take initiativeand get involved.Wong criticizes the social environ¬ment at U of C by arguing that a lot ofpeople at “this university suffer fromsocial emptiness." He points to theoften excessive workload, financial dif¬ficulties, and the quarter system asfactors contributing to this social dis-e,s>e So he quickly prescribes a cure —form another committee to addressthese concerns with the aid of StudentGovernment.Such a committee would represent atypical U of C way of solving the prob¬lem; people are more than happy toform a committee to discuss the situa¬tion but generally lack the effort to take any real action. The reality is thatmore people spend time complainingabout the social life at l ot (' then theydo actually doing something about it.They waste time bj moping, wining,and complaining when they could be in¬volved There are mer 100 differentstudent orgmnz.atiun.s and clubs oncampus, in addition to varsity athlet¬ics. These provide an incredible ne¬twork of people to meet. In them you’llmake some friends, maybe a few ene¬mies too, but you’ll meet people.But don’t just rely on these to createa social life for you either. The univer¬sity is not going to hold you by the handduring the time that you spend here.It’s going to provide opportunities, butit s not going to force them down yourthroat either. Take some initiative.Most students didn’t come to the U of Cin order to live on an oasis on the SouthSide of Chicago. They planned on mak¬ing use of the city, too. The all too com¬mon statement that “there’s nothing todo here” is totally unfounded.Some of the problems Wong outlinesare very real. The workload is fre¬quently excessive and can get veryfrustrating. Having to put $11,000+ into your education each year doesn’thelp take away some ot that frustra¬tion. Worrying about these things canmake you feel that social life must takethe bottom row on your list of prioritieshere. But the network of people thatyou meet from being involved in thingscan also help you to deal with theseproblems in a supportive way. It’s easyto build a wall around yourself and saythat your situation is unique in theserespects here. It’s not.Changing the quarter system to a se¬mester is an alternative, though not avery practical one. It would generallytend to give students a false sense of se¬curity by feeling that there would beenough time to get all of their workdone, making it easier to put off. Thereis time here to have a social life, but only if you decide to make use of yourtime.There are currently many differentadvisory committees on campus, asWong points out. Why create anotherone when what might really be neededis to make the existing ones more effec¬tive? The best thing, though not theonly one, that Student Governmentcould do is to encourage people to getinvolved. Not to talk about the sociallife at the university or to spend a greatdeal of time by avoiding the issue. No¬body is going to lead you through hereby the hand. You’ve go to take some re¬sponsibility and initiative by yourselffirst.Joel ZandSecond year student in the CollegeChallenges arms raceTo the editor :I was greatly pleased to see the ex¬cellent coverage given to RobertScheer’s lecture on nuclear war inTuesday’s issue of the Maroon(2/7/84). I was one of about 50 peoplewho heard Mr. Scheer speak, and I feltthat his lecture was one of the freshest,most articulate and unnervingspeeches given on this topic in recentmonths. Furthermore, I felt that theMaroon performed a great service tothe community by clearly outlining thebasic points of Mr. Scheer’s lecture.Mr. Scheer presented his lecturefrom neither a leftist, nor conserva¬tive, or even middle-of-the-road pointof view, but simply from his journalis¬tic encounters with people like Reagan,Bush, and the chief of the Soviet Aca¬demy of Scientists. He discussed theReagan administration’s light attitudetoward nuclear war and its confidenceabout America's ability to bounce backfrom such a war.The point of this letter, however, isnot to discuss the main ideas of Mr.Scheer’s lecture. That is an accom¬plishment for which I am commendingthe Maroon. I am taking this opportuni¬ty not only to commend the Maroon,but also to issue this challenge: I,Christian Kranicke, hereby challengeeach and every member of the HydePark community — students, faculty,businessmen, or other — to present mewith a rational argument for the con¬tinuance of the arms race, if they haveyet to be convinced of its senselessnessand danger by either Mr. Scheer or theMaroon’s article. I would be willing todiscuss this topic with anyone at anyprearranged date that is mutually con¬venient. Now some reading this lettermight feel that I am biting off morethan I can chew. But I don’t believe Iam, simply because I know that I po¬ssess a superior argument; that ofcommon sense In all honesty. I mustadmit that my biggest fear in thiswhole issue is not that I might be tak¬ing on more than I can handle, but that someone might actually accept mychallenge and offer me their “rationalexcuse” for the arms race.v Christian KranickeSecond year student in the CollegeGive Maroon access to crime reportsTo the editor:I was shocked to read in the last issueof the Maroon that a woman had beenraped at the 59th St. IC Station. Notonly did the rape itself shock me, but sodid the fact that it had taken 10 days forthis incident to be made public.The situation here at the Universityappears to be that those with immedi¬ate access to crime reports do not feelan urgent need to inform the communi¬ty. and those who do see such a need fortimely information do not have anyway of obtaining such information.The logical sources of such informa¬tion appeared to me to be the Universi¬ty Security Police and the 21st DistrictPolice Department. When I called thelatter, a spokesman told me that the de¬partment provides the Hyde ParkHerald with a weekly police blotter, butthat it refuses to do so for the Maroonbecause “it is not a recognized, bona-fide newspaer.” When I mentioned thatthe Herald comes out only once a week,and furthermore has a Friday deadlinefor the following Wednesday’s issue(which explains why the rape was notreported until 11 days after it hap¬pened ), he was of the opinion that “it isnot advantageous to have things comeout earlier.” I suggested that, in fact,early publicity could alert potentialvictims; he replied that “if somethingcould prevent a crime, we’re all for it,”but that he was “not going to sit andfence” — that the Maroon was not evergoing to have access to the blotter,period. “It is not a recognized newspa¬per.” Period. He could onot tell me whoin the department determines this poli¬ cy, and said he had no way of findingout.The Security Police refused to re¬lease any information whatsoever, butreferred me to the Vice President forUniversity News and Community Af¬fairs. This person, it turns out, alsodoesn’t “think a report of an isolatedincident (as opposed to a pattern of in¬cidents) is very helpful.” However, hepointed out that the Herald publishes apolice blotter, and “if the Herald canget it, the Maroon certainly could.” Imentioned that this had not been myimpression, and why; his reply wasthat “that is between the 21st Districtand the Maroon.”W’hen I called the Maroon. I was toldthat they are indeed unable to getcrime reports from the Police Depart¬ment. However, if they do happen tolearn of an incident — usually eitherthrough the grapevine or from a victim— the Office for News and CommunityAffairs will release further informa¬tion, but only if a reporter calls up, states the date and time of a specificcrime, and asks for specific informa¬tion.I don’t feel that what I have learnedin the past two days is necessarily con¬clusive. However, I do feel that there isa need for prompt enlightenment of theUniversity community when a majorcrime does occur — and that those whodo have access to such informationshould not be deciding what is in thecommunity’s interest to know andwhen.The fact remains that the Maroon ap¬pears to be the likeliest source of im¬mediate information for most of theUniversity (particularly since theChronicle is published only once everythree weeks). Whether or not theMaroon is perceived by everyone as a“recognized newspaper,” it should atleast be given reasonable access tonews sources.Cathy BumpEditorial assistantUniversity of Chicago PressProtests student musicorganization’s funds cutoffThe Chicago Maroon■■ % ■ . „ -■''>>■■■■? / -I1.'-/, •VSC-’C'V // ' ' , - ■■The Chicago Maroon i» the official student newspaper of the ( mversitv of Chicago It is..-.publ ished' tuiee+er week, on Tuesdays -and-Fridays- The office* of the Maroon if* in IdaNoyes Hall, rooms 303 and 304.

Jim Thompson Bob Trav is Michelle Wand ; "— —— iz—4—The Chicago Maroon—Friday, February 17 1984 To the editor:Recently a Student Government or¬ganization named Student Music diedan untimely death, ironically after aconcert that it sponsored in Ida Noyesthat gave two campus bands their firstchance to play in front of a campus au¬dience and gave about 50-70 students achance to enjoy the music. The eventcost Students Government a whopping$44 — I would challenge any other stu¬dent organization to present such afruitful and thriftful record. I figuredthat Student Activities (SAO) would bethrilled and would support me whole-heartedly in my modest attempt to helppeople have some fun. How wrong Iwas.Because of alleged infringements tothe ( niversity’s alcohol policy 'which,like all rules carved in granite, allowsignorance as no excuse), SAO headIrene Conley rescinded the budget ofthe organization before even allowing arepresentative of the organization topresent its side of the story. Takingtime from one of my classes to meetwith Ms. <lonle) i na . objected to tiersuspicior ar 1 unpica ardness Itseemed that Ms. Conley thought I was amisbehaving < hi d i h • had U be teiperizcd. h I ... h a I d ly” agreed to “give me anotherchance” if I promised to post someoneat the entrance of future events and if Ipaid $24 to a supervisory night manag¬er. I agreed to her condition, relievedthat the ordeal was finally over. Itwasn’t.Ms. Conley told me that I still had toappear before the Student GovernmentFinance committee (SGFC) to ask forthe extra $24. So the following Monday Iwas given the privilege of waiting threehours to be told that I had to convincethe SGFC to “give me another chance”as I had Ms. Conley. I should have hadthis plea-bargaining bit down by now,but despite my efforts I was informedat 1:30 a.m. that Student Music hadbeen denied funding until it could provethat it had more than one member. Idecided to decline this kind of offer toanother round of “negotiations." I dlearned my lesson.I guess that it was naive of me tothink that SAO exists to promote suc¬cessful student activities. I learned thehard way why there aren’t any cheapand easy activities supported by SAOon this campusRussel Forsterroui th y< <u student in the ( oliegeLebanon: Indigenous factors are importantTho incc .. „ . ances with Israel. _ _ has its operating base in Syria, and has cThe loss of life and property caused by the Leban¬ese civil war had long ago reached grotesque propor¬tions: in 1975 a Lebanese journalist called the civilwar a “holiday of madness.” The length of this “holi:day,” and the depth of this madness, have been ex¬tended by the intervention of outside powers: Syria,Israel, and the United States. However, while each ofthese states have chosen to support particulargroups in the civil war — and have switched sideswhen circumstances dictated it — I believe that theindigenous factors which led to the civil war have re¬ceived relatively short notice from the mainstreammedia.Set up in the mid-1940s, the Lebanese political sys¬tem has remained static while Lebanese society hasbeen dynamic. Ultimately we must conclude that theLebanese political system has failed for preciselythis reason.After World War I France was given a Mandate forSyria; at that time the state of Lebanon didn’t exist.French policymakers, in an effort to maintain a po¬litical foothold in the Middle East, carved Lebanonout of Syria and threw three major religious groups— and a dozen smaller groups — together within aframework of the state of Lebanon.Maronite Christians, Sunni Muslims, and Shii Mus¬lims were the three major religious groups; a censusof 1932 showed that the Maronites were the largestminority, and that Christians of all denominationsoutnumbered Muslims by a 6:5 ratio. Therefore, aChamber of Deputies was set up which reflected thisratio, and every six years the Chamber would elect aPresident for Lebanon. In addition, it was agreedthat a Maronite would always be President, a Sunniwould always be Prime Minister, and a Shii wouldalways be Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies.Maronite and Sunni elites felt that their cultural mi¬lieu was more Parisian than Arab, which conformedto French imperial needs: the new leaders of Leban¬on would look to France for guidance and assistance,thereby assuring France of an institutional footholdin the region in general, and in Lebanon in particu¬lar.Although the distribution of political power has notchanged since Lebanon became an independent statein the mid-1940s, the population ratio has changedsignificantly: tens of thousands of Maronites haveleft the country while the Shiites, by all estimates,have become the largest single religious group in thecountry. The contradictions of this situation haveparalyzed the delicate system of compromise whichhad characterized Lebanese politics during the earlyyears of the state.An important element of political development isthe transference of loyalties from a small unit —clan, tribe, or religious or linguistic sub-unit — to alarger national unit. Political development is said totake place when people begin to think of themselvesas Lebanese rather than as Maronites, Sunnis, orShiites who happen to live within a territorial enclo¬sure called “Lebanon.” Without a national ethos astate will be no more than the sum of its parts, andthe Lebanese political system has in fact workedagainst the development of a Lebanese nationalethos.But we should not see Lebanon as only dividedalong religious lines. When we look at Lebanese poli¬tics we see that about a dozen families have ruledthat country, or parts of it, for most of the twentiethcentury. This oligarchy includes Maronite, Druze,and Sunni families and, to a lesser extent, Shii fami¬lies. The traditional leadership was perpetuated by awidespread system of patronage which revolvedaround each leaders’ fiefdom. This system has notchanged, and the arbitrary nature of the distributionof economic and political benefits which resultedfrom this system led Sunni and Shii communities tocreate alternative religiously-based political andmilitary groups. These leaders argued that theirgroups were more responsive to the needs of theircommunities, and therefore had more legitimacy,than the system built around the traditional leadersof Lebanon.The predominant tendencies, then, were intra-communal tension between traditional elites andthose masses not benefitting from the existing dis¬tribution of power within each community; andintra-communal tension, as traditional elites battledamong themselves over the distribution of state po¬litical power. To reiterate: demographic change hadundermined the basic distribution of state politicalpower relative to each of three major religious com¬munities.Although the Lebanese President has traditionallybeen a Maronite, the election of Bashir Gemayel —and then his brother Amin — to the Presidency in1982 was a watershed in Lebanese politics. Bashirand Amin are the sons of Pierre Gemayel, the found¬er of the Phalange party. The Phalange credo is dis¬cipline, nationalism, and military preparedness.Phalange power grew throughout the last two de¬cades, to the point where during the 1975-76 civil warthey were administering predominantly ChristianEast Beirut. Bashir Gemayel was the leader of themilitary wing of the Phalange, r.nd during the periodfrom the civil war to his assassination in September,1982, he strengthened the party through a two¬pronged policy: assassination and intimidation ofrival Christian militas and parties and tactical alli- There were no alternatives to Bashir Gemayel’spresidential campaign in 1982, partly because he hadconsolidated his power so ruthlessly in the years be¬fore. That those in the Chamber of Deputies hadserious reservations about Gemayel’s candidacywas demonstrated by the absence of nearly half ofthe Deputies when it came time to elect a presidentin August 1982. Phalangists then brought in enoughDeputies for a quorum, and Gemayel, the only can¬didate, was elected President.The hesitancy of the Chamber is easy to under¬stand: they were placed in a position of acceptingfait accompli from the most conservative and wellarmed militia/party leader in Lebanon. The mergerof state and private power under a Phalange presi¬dency could be disastrous: that state institutions andpower would be used to enhance Phalange power wasthe fear of some. But before Bashir Gemayel couldtake office he was assassinated; his brother Amin,who was less identified with the Phalange, and par¬ticularly the military wing of it, was elected Presi¬dent.There have been periodic reconciliation confer¬ences since then, designed to bring many of the tradi¬tional politicians together. Although these confer¬ences have failed to achieve their goal, it isimportant to point out that even if they should “suc¬ceed” in the future, it will not solve the Lebanesepolitical problem. At some point in the future thesepoliticans might agree on a modus vivendi wherebyminor changes in the national power structure wouldbe carried out; the system might be patched up. butit needs a complete overhaul.The “alternative” to Amin Gemayel’s governmentis unlikely to initiate the needed changes either. Re¬cently a group called the Lebanese National Salva¬tion Front (LNSF) has surfaced. It is led by Sulei¬man Franjieh (a Maronite, and President ofLebanon from 1970-76); Rashid Karami (a Sunni whowas Prime Minister briefly during the mid-1970s);and Walid Jumblat (the Druze leader). These areprecisely the type of traditional politicians who haveruled Lebanon throughout this century. The LNSF operating base in Syria, and has called fordirect popular election of the Lebanese Presidentand the abolition of religiously-influenced politicalappointments. It is unclear to what degree these poli¬ticians are seriously committed to these principles;it seems likely that political expediency played amajor role in the formation of the LNSF.The reliance of the LNSF on Syrian political andmilitary assistance may discredit them in the eyes ofcertain Lebanese sectors; however, the Front wouldargue, the election of a Phalange as President, theAmerican rebuilding of the Lebanese army, whichwas used for Phalange sectarian interests, and theclose ties between the Phalange militia and Israelsignalled a Phalange attempt to dominate Lebanon.Set against this background, arms and political sup¬port had to be obtained from whatever source couldprovide them.There is no Lebanese national ethos; because ofthis, important questions of Lebanese foreign and do¬mestic policy have not been decided. Is Lebanon anArab state or is it an extension of the (Christian)West? In either case, to what degree will Lebanon bean active participant in those spheres? Will Lebanonfollow a foreign policy of “neither (Arab) East nor(Christian) W’est?” Since the consequences of any ofthese orientations will reach into every level of Le¬banese society and politics, it is advisable that theUnited States not support or reject anything that theLebanese themselves haven’t supported or reject¬ed.Gemayel lacks legitimacy in the eyes of many,perhaps most, non-Christians in Lebanon, and itseems that Christians are giving qualified supportGemayel because there appears to be no viable alter¬native at this point. I believe that support for theLNSF is minimal outside of the individual consti¬tuencies of its leaders. American support for Ge¬mayel has been and will continue to be interpreted byhis detractors as support for the Phalange until Ge¬mayel clearly demonstrates a willingness to disarmthe Phalange militia and to distribute governmentfunds equally to Christian and non-Christian areas.continued on page sevenThe issues that won’t go awayBy Joel R. WhiteThe current debate being waged in the editorialsection of the Maroon has centered, by the design ofthe petitioners, on the issue of abortion in the broa¬dest possible terms. So far as I know, the people whooriginated the petition sought through the petition todefine the parameters of the abortion debate in thecontext of current law and to provoke discussion onthe topic. It has certainly done both of those things,yet it is time to focus the debate on those issues ofvital importance, those at the very heart of the mat¬ter. As has been noted, most abortions are not per¬formed in the third trimester (though the 0.9 percentthat are amount to 10 to 15,000 per year), but in earli¬er stages of pregnancy. The question that must beasked is whether abortion should be legal at anypoint during pregnancy and, if so, at what pointshould it be prohibited. There is compelling evi¬dence, I believe, that abortion on demand is not anacceptable moral choice at any point in the course ofa pregnancy and that the state has a responsibility toprotect human beings from conception until death.Many times in the course of the abortion debate,we hear from NARAL and other pro-choice groupsthat a woman should have the right to do what shewants with her own body. It should first of all be un¬derstood that no one, male or female, presently hassuch a right, and we have all been too quick to as¬sume that it exists, metaphysically or legally. I can¬not, for instance, slash my wrists on the quads, norcan I have sex with my sister even if both of us desireit. We must at least give it some thought before wethrow out the principle that there are limitations towhat I can do even to my own body.It must be further understood that the whole ar¬gument is specious. There is absolutely no reason¬able doubt that abortion concerns not the women’sright to control her own body, but to control the bodyof another genetically distinct human being. The evi¬dence from embryological research is simplybeyond dispute on this point. I learned in CommonCore Biology, as I’m sure many of us did, that all thesomatic cells of a given organism possess the samegenetic code. It is obvious by this time that the zy¬gote has a different genetic code than that of themother. Since the cell is not a gamete (it has a di¬ploid set of chromosomes), the only possibility isthat it is a distinct organism from the moment ofconception. Erich Blechschmidt, a German embryo¬logist and the author of The Beginnings of HumanLife (1977) provides substantiation which as far as Iknow, is not seriously disputed by any reputable sci¬entist: “The unicellular human germ is already anindividual organism, as may be substantiated in sev¬eral ways by an analysis of the nuclei and their chro¬mosomes... ”(p. 17). Like it or not, it is decisively no*a part of her own body. It is time for pro-choicegroups to drop the argument until they provide somescientific evidence to substantiate their claim.We must know, in any case, what kind of organism it is that resides within the body of another. If it is nothuman, perhaps abortion would be non-objection-able, but if it is...well, then, we have to do somethinking.How can we attach humanity, much less person-hood (or are they one and the same?) to somethingthat looks so distinctly unhuman? After all. at con¬ception we are considering one cell; later on, a pe¬culiarly-shaped group of cells. Again, extensive research in embryology and genetics have made itclear that it is not what an organism looks like, butthe genetic make-up and the biological and chemicalprocesses of its cells and organs which determine itsspecies. Blechschmidt continues. “The often repeat¬ed question of why the human ovum produces a manis therefore wrongly put. Man does not become man;he is man and behaves as such from the very com¬mencement and in each phase of development fromfertilization onward” <p. 17, emphasis in original).One cannot even understand the field of embryologyoutside of this context. Again, so far as I know, thefact that the biological origin of the human organismis conception is not disputed. Most of us have proba¬bly read the “Where Did I Come From” books in ourchildhood which stated the very same thing.According to some, we should wait until the ap¬pearance of brainwaves or heartbeat-until we areaware of the presence of distinctly “human” organs.Yet the distinction is purely arbitrary, for the factthat we can measure brain waves only after sixweeks gestation does not mean that the brain cellsare not functioning, but only that we are not able tomeasure them. “Generally speaking, the following istrue: there are no cells, no tissues, and no organsthat do not already function during development.From a regional comparison of developmentalmovements, the fundamental rule emerges thatorgans are active in correspondence with the proper¬ties they possess at each stage of ontogenesis”(Blechschmidt, p. 53). By the time, in fact, that awoman knows she is pregnant, all organs are presentand are functioning as they characteristicallyshould. By the beginning of the second trimester, itlooks like a baby, albeit a very small one, has dis¬tinct finger- and footprints, withdraws from pain,drinks amniotic fluid vigorously if it is sweetened,spits it out if it is made bitter, sucks its thumb, wakesand sleeps, and even cries. It is, in fact, no differentfrom the newborn except that it is smaller and livesin a different environment.Pro-choice groups do not like this line of argument,calling it progaganda that appeals to emotions. Tolabel an argument, however, is not to refute it. I in¬vite them to prove the arguments wrong. In themeantime, they will have to excuse me. for I havealways been emotional about little children.It is well established that the fetus is an individualorganism and a human being from the moment ofconception.

Gray.Alexander E. Sharp was named vice-president for business and finance. Inaddition to his present responsibilitiesas chief financial officer, he will as¬sume direction of the physical plant,physical planning and construction, en¬ergy conservation, and such auxiliaryenterprises as the bookstore and busservices.Sharp has been vice-president for fi¬nancial affairs since 1980. He joined theUniversity in November, 1979 as direc¬tor of the office of financial planningand budget. Prior to that time, he hadserved with the U.S. Office of Manage¬ment and Budget and as commissionerof public welfare for Massachusetts.Arthur M. Sussman, vice-presidentand general counsel, has assumed re¬sponsibility for personnel policies andpractices and labor relations for theUniversity. His new title is generalcounsel and vice-president for admin¬istration.Sussman, who also has responsibilityfor federal and state government rela¬tions, served as university legal coun¬sel for Southern Illinois University inCarbondale for two years before his ap¬pointment at Chicago in 1979. He hadpreviously been a partner in the Chica¬go law firm of Jenner & Block.Ralph W. Muller, director of finan¬cial planning and budget, has beennamed associate vice-president forbudget, computing and informationsystems. Muller joined the Universityin 1981 as director of budget, after serv¬ing as deputy commissioner of welfarein Massachusetts. He has guided initia¬tives in budgetary and financial plan¬ning and analysis at the University.Eugene O’Brien was named asso¬ciate vice-president for human re¬sources management. O’Brien will bein charge of personnel matters. He hasbeen director of human resources man¬agement for the University’s hospitalsand clinics since 1980.Edward Coleman, director of em¬ployee labor relations since 1981, hasbeen appointed assistant vice-presi¬dent for labor relations. He joined theUniversity in 195? and was named as¬sistant director of personnel and man¬ager of equal opportunity programs in1970.The University’s real estate opera¬tions office, including neighborhoodproperties, married student and otheroff-campus housing units, and thehousing services office, will report toJonathan Kleinbard, vice-president foruniversity news and community af¬fairs.William B. Cannon, vice-presidentfor business and finance since 1976, hasasked to return to full-time teachingand research in the school of SocialService Administration and the Com¬mittee on Public Policy Studies. Hewill continue to work on special proj¬ects with the office of the president.“Bill Cannon’s accomplishmentshave been extraordinary,” Gray said. “He has been totally devoted to ourUniversity as an administrator, cre¬ative and effective in the developmentof policies and programs to support theacademic enterprise. His work hastouched every facet of our lives here,helping to strengthen the Universityfor future generations of scholars andstudents. This reorganization will buildon those strengths.”From 1968 to 1974, Cannon served asvice president for programs and proj¬ects at the University. He was dean ofthe Lyndon B. Johnson School of PublicAffairs at the University of Texas, Aus¬tin, from 1974 until his return to theUniversity. An alumnus of the Univer¬sity, he had also served from 1954 to1958 as director of social sciences de¬velopment and later as an assistantvice president. He held a number of po¬sitions in the federal government, in¬cluding deputy chairman of the Nation¬al Endowment for the Arts, director ofoperational coordination and policy re¬search and chief of education, man¬power, and science division for theBureau of the Budget. have influenced the political process.And lastly, the panel will debate whatthe proper responsibility of the mediashould be.Richards said under these three gen¬eral topic areas, a whole host of widelyranging sub-topic areas will be dis¬cussed. “For example,” he said, thepanel may discuss the question, “Hasthe centralization of the media de¬stroyed the political process?” He saidthis issue comes to mind when one re¬views the past 200-year history of theAmerican press.In the nineteenth century, there werenumerous small, independent presses.Richards added that in the early partof the twentieth century, there werestill many competing presses and otherrival news-gathering distributionsources in existence.By the second half of the present cen¬tury, Richards said, large corporationsand wealthy owners have taken overseveral presses and other news mediacompanies. Put another way, he said,Norman Nie and politics“Will Rupert Murdoch choose our nextpresident?”Another topic of discussion may bethe following: should TV broadcastersbe held responsible for political com¬mercials? A commercial by the Thom¬as Corcoran campaign, Richards said,stresses this question. Corcoran isseeking the Repubican nomination fora US Senate seat against the incum¬bent Charles Percy. In one Corcorancommercial, Jesse Jackson is shownspeaking to a group of people. A voicethen “informs” the TV audience thatSenator Percy relies on Jackson forforeign policy advice. On the otherhand, we are told Corcoran relies onguidance given by President Reaganon foreign policy matters. Given thatthe commercial is being shown widelydownstate, the implication of the com¬mercial is “pretty clear,” Richardssaid.The credentials of the panelmembers are as follows:Richards is science director of theprogram in History, Philosophy, andSocial Studies of Science and Medicine.He is on the commmittee on the Con¬ceptual Foundations of Science and isan assistant professor in the depart¬ments of history and behavioralscience in the College.Callaway is a public television inter¬viewer, and he is director of the Uni¬versity’s William Benton fellowshipprogram in broadcast journalism.Stone is a professor in the LawSchool, and is an expert on the FirstAmendment.Guest is a political consultant for theIowa campaign of presidential candi¬date John Glenn.Nie is a professor in the politicalscience department and a research as¬sociate for the Cultural Pluralism Re¬search Center within the NationalOpinion Research Center (NORC).The discussion will be open for ques¬tions, comments and arguments fromthe audience, said Kathryn Kleiman,the SG coordinator of the discussion.Hines voted to U of C board of trusteeHarold H.

Its circulationis only 27,000 copies, about 2lk timesthat of the Maroon. But behind itsunpretentious door is an odd clock (itshands fixed at three minutes tomidnight) that has come to symbolizehow close mankind is tothermonuclear destruction. And in itspages are articles by some of theworld’s top scientists and politicalfigures, writing “about the dangers ofthose little toys that were developedhere,” as Dr. Robert Gomer, U of Cchemistry professor and member ofits board of directors, said. Andthough its circulation is small, it isread by members of Congress, theParliament, and the Politburo. It is,of course, the Bulletin of the AtomicScientists.Founded in December of 1945, fourmonths after the bombing of Hirosimaand Nagisaki, the Bulletin was bornout of a complex interplay ofscientific, military, and politicalforces. During the early phase of theManhattan Project, which centeredhere at Chicago, many of thescientists formed ad hoc committeesto discuss the social and politicalimplications of the weapons they werehelping to create. By March 1945, thescientists at Chicago set up theCommittee on Social and PoliticalImplications, of which John Simpson,currently professor of physics, was amember. Working closely with sucholder scientists as Leo Silzard, JamesFranck, and Eugene Rabinowitz, thisCommittee began discussions onquestions of international control ofatomic energy, the necessity ofdropping the bomb over a populatedarea, and education of the publicabout the new world of atomic power.(Some months later, the Army,worried about security, preventedscientists from arranging formalmeetings of more than three people todiscuss these social, moral, andpolitical issues. The committees gotaround this delicate point byarranging appointments forindividuals with two or threemembers of the committees — whilewaiting for their appointments outsidethe main office, other scientistscontinued their debates.)When the war ended, and thesesecrecy restrictions were eased, theCommittee on Social and PoliticalImplications became the more formalAtomic Scientists of Chicago (ASC). Itwas composed of Leo Silzard, GlennSeabor, Austin Brues, J.J. Nickson,David Hill, and Eugene Rabinowitz,with John Simpson as chairman.Fearing a permanent militarytakeover of atomic research, the ASCbegan a compaign to allow for publicdebate and civilian control of atomicenergy. With the support ofthen—Chancellor Robert Hutchins andthe social and political sciencefaculties of the University, the ASCbrought its message to such foreignfields as the mass media andWashington, DC. Says Simpson, “Itwas a fight against the military,really. They wanted a bill that wouldallow military control of atomicenergy. We said no.” In the fall of1945, Rabinowitz, Hyman Goldsmith,and Simpson realized they would needa forum to inform both otherscientists and the public at large oftheir efforts. The first Bulletin of theAtomic Scientists of Chicago appearedin December of 1945.The first issue contained thefollowing creed:—To explore, clarify, andformulate the opinions andresponsibilities of scientists inregards to the problems broughtabout by the release of atomicenergy—To educate the public to a fullunderstanding of the scientific,technological, and socialproblems arising from therelease of nuclear energy. The ASC won the battle to keepcivilian research unrestricted. Thebasic draft for the Atomic Energy Actof 1946 was prepared in the basementof the Social Sciences Building inChicago. But the war for internationalcontrol and public education goes on.Aside from dropping “of Chicago”from the title and expanding the creedto read “the rapid advance of scienceand technology” instead of just“nuclear energy,” the^ methods andgoals of the Bulletin remainunchanged from fort} years ago. Itwas the “first voice,” as Gomercalled it, that warned against thedangers of nuclear destruction, andRuth Adams, editor of the Bulletin,believes one of the reasons theBulletin is influential is “because ofits survival. It’s been publishedregularly ever since 1945, and hasalways had international support.”Published ten times yearly, recentissues of the Bulletin have includedarticles on the Soviet’s culture, Army,and agriculture, China’s economicrole in the Far East, the Law of theSea treaty, nuclear power in Japan,the MX missile, the electromagneticpulse created by thermonuclearweapons, as well as reviews of films sand books on topics ranging fromphysics to Third World medicine. Butperhaps just as important as thetopics of the articles were the namesattached to them, such as whenAndrei Sakharov published asmuggled manuscript in theJune/July issue appealing to the Westto seek disarmament yet maintain itsdeterrent against Soviety aggressionuntil appropriate treaties are signed.“Because of the Bulletin's reputationfor even-handedness, we are able toobtain contributions from individualswho have international stature andwho do not write for other journals,”said Dr. Stuart Rice, Chicagochemistry professor and also memberof the Bulletin's board of directors. “Idon’t think it was any accident thatthe Bulletin was the magazine thatpublished the Sakharov article.” Ricewent on to explain that themagazine’s reputation foreven-handedness was a result of itsaccuracy: “Even when a stand istaken that is unpopular, there is anattempt made to present other pointsof view, to explain how one reached that stand, and to document what thebackup for it is.”But Gomer and Adams noted thatthere is one issue of which theBulletin is an unequivocal advocate.Said Adams, “If you feel that theworld cannot afford the use of nuclearweapons — ever — and if you feel thatno nuclear war can ever be keptlimited, and if you feel that we cannotgain peace and security by thecontinued acceleration of the armsrace, then I suppose you are anadvocate.” While Gomer spoke of theBulletin’s importance to the scientificcommunity, saying “it gives scientistsa chance to write things which arefairly authoritative,” he also said,“the people who express their viewsand to some extent the people whorun the magazine really do knowsomething about nuclear weapons andthe dangers. And I think during thisAdministration, more than ever, it isnecessary there be an ongoing voicethat keeps pointing to the fact that weare heading straight down the road tohell.”The Bulletin's effectivenesscertainly does not come from masspopular support. As Gomer succinctlyput it, “You do not find the Bulletinpicked up by people who readPlayboy.” Stuart Rice was moreexplicit about the problem ofscientists appealing directly to thepublic. “The general public is sopoorly educated in science that theyhave no conception of what science isabout. I am not referring to fancy,state-of-the-art research, but the vastbulk of day-to-day appliedscience,’’said Rice. “Publicperception is shaped by television,newspapers, and movies, and isgrossly distorted. Mathematicians areinvisible because they never appear;chemists always appear in a veryold-fashioned setting, with glasswareand colored, bubbling liquids aroundtihem.” As a chemist, Rice isparticularly appalled to see packagesadvertising “no chemicals.” In Rice’sview, there is a “grossmisunderstanding of where there iscertainty, and how you handle that,and where there is uncertainty, andhow you handle that.” Said Rice,“There often appears to be frustrationwith the laws of nature, such as whenthe Federal Government mandates hydrocarbon content in theatmosphere that is less than itsnatural loading from agriculturalproducts. And there are instances inwhich honest uncertainty is not takento be honest uncertainty, but ratherparochialism — two people looking atthe same information and coming todifferent points of view because it isincomplete are regarded not as honestinterpreters who happen to read theinformation differently but rather asadvocates of points of view.” This,according to Rice “is a consequenceof the adversarial nature of many ofthe interactions” of science and thepublic.Simpson and Adams also spoke ofthe problems of the general publicperceiving science as something thatmight have done more harm thangood. “During the 60’s and 70’sscience was looked at as ‘hurting ourcities,’ ‘causing pollution’, andlowering our quality of life’, saidSimpson. He continued, “It wasn’tscience; scientists gave technologiststhe tools with which they could dothings that would be great and savelives, or that would be polluting. Thatwasn’t our decision. It’s a peopleproblem. It’s an educationalproblem.” Adams pointed to the armsrace as having caused this dissensionas well, saying it “had abused science— the estimate is that 50% of allscientists and engineers in the worldare working directly ondefense-related projects.” As a resultof security restraints and the notionthat people “should leave it to theexperts,” Adams said “the publicbecame very resentful of scientists.”However, she felt that because of thework during the past four years oforganizations such as the Physiciansfor Social Responsibility andothers, this perception may change.But if the Bulletin does not directlyaffect public opinion, how is iteffective? Much of its influence comesfrom its selective audience, or asSimpson said “we’ve got an insidepipeline.” Elaborating on this, Adamssaid, “The Bulletin is read by leadersof opinion, and its effect is derivative.The Bulletin goes to political leadersaround the world, to libraries, topeople who are active leaders inorganizations of public interest. Inthat sense, the message gets carrieddown.” Adams also said that, to her,“the Bulletin is an important voicefrom Midwest America that reachesout across the world. When we movedthe hands of the Clock on the January1984 issue, we had front-pagecoverage in Stockholm, Moscow, andTokyo.” And beyond just affectingpolitical policy, Rice spoke of thesymbolic value of the Bulletin. “Itdemonstrates that people can befull-time scientists and take an activeinterest in the problems of societywhich are so serious.”If it is crucial that physicists also becitizens, so must biologists and otherscientists from various disciplines becitizens. To this end the Bulletin hasexpanded its coverage to the entireinterface of science and technologywith public policy. Issues rangingfrom the environment to the economyto privacy have appeared. Previouspublications featured series on therelationships of science to art and togovernment. “The Bulletin wasresponsible for what was the firstconference on China-Western relationsafter the ’49 revolution,’’said Rice, “itwas organized in the early 60’s, longbefore this was popular, and it helpedlegislators change their attitudes onhow they view China.” Adams spokemore generally of the need to linktogether the nuclear weapons issuewith the other problems faced in amodern industrialized society. “Wehave a responsibility to show therelationship of the US budget toresources, to jobs, to education. Thepie is only so big, and you have todecide what your priorities are.” Thisinvolved not only technical questionsbut, according to Adams, “the issue ofethics and values as well.”Many of the Bulletin’s authors arescientists; how does their disciplinehelp (or hinder) them in their effortscontinued on page nine8—The Chicago Maroon—Friday, February 17, 1984 Bulletinof the Atomic Scientists| A N U aTy 19 8 4 •VOLUME4 0 • N U M B E R I • P rTcTe T T.

ThePeace Corps offers myriadopportunities for. volunteer-work andtravel throughout the world. PeaceCorps programs are devoted to thepromotion of food production, watersupply, health education, andtechnology in underdeveloped areaswithout imposing upon culturalvalues.Barbara Bochnovic of the ChicagoPeace Corps recruiting office andfellow former volunteer MichaelMcColly spoke recently about theirexperiences with the Peace Corps andthe current recruitment drive oncampus.Chartered by President Kennedy inthe 1960’s, the Peace CorpsVolunteers are engaged indevelopmental programs in over 60third-world countries. The enduranceof Peace Corps accomplishments liesin its policy of not supplantingindigenous efforts but ratherencouraging development throughteaching and helping local people.“It was the most difficult thing I’veever done,” said Bochnovic, speakingof the two years she spent as avolunteer in Ecuador. Despite havingundergone a training period, in whichshe was virtually immersed in the local language and culture, Bochnovicconceded that the first six monthswere miserable because of thedifficulty of assimilation. McCollycited loneliness as a significantdrawback of the first few months.Although Bochnovic and McCollyagree that their stints with the PeaceCorps were bittersweet experiences,both feel that their personal growthand the satisfaction of having helpedpeople certainly outweigh theinconveniences. “Because mostvolunteers are involved in long-term development projects, the immediategains are rarely seen. The impact ison a village level,” explainedBochnovic. “The villagers recognizewhat you are doing and they reallyappreciate it,” added McColly.Bochnovic’s work in Ecuador beganin 1981 as an agent of that country’sMinistry of Agriculture. Her projects,stemming from her interest inwomen’s issues at the U of C,involved the instruction ofhealth-care, nutrition, andhandicrafts to village women. “It’s one thing to study these people, but tohave them as your best friendsobviously is different.”In preparation for his horticultural.work in Senegal, McColly, currently agraduate student in the DivinitySchool, learned French and Wolof, awest African language. He too voicedBochnovic’s view that a volunteer’simpact can most easily be felt in therural setting. “The people were reallyfloored that we, in trying to helpthem, learned their language andcustoms.” However McColly didreveal that he felt some resentment inthe larger cities because “peoplewere fed up with developmentalagencies and the efforts ofmissionaries.”In addition to the incentives of freetravel and stipends which permitvolunteers to “live comfortably,”enlisting in the Peace Corps is often ajumping-point into careers focused oninternational relations. Thusadmission into the program is verycompetitive. “What we are lookingfor are people with motivation andcompassion, and who are open to newideas, backgrounds, and cultures,”said Bochnovic.Representatives of the Peace Corpswill be conducting on-campusinterviews Feb. 22. Studentsinterested in the program may obtainmore information and an applicationat the Placement Office in ReynoldsClub.Bulletincontinued from page eightto solve problems in the politicalrealm? Obviously, technicalknowledge is a great help. Whendiscussing facts, the writers knowwhat they are talking about because itis their daily business. But can theyabstract principles from theirscientific practice to apply todiscussing the “oughts” of a socialproblem? Rice felt that “applying thekind of reasoning techniques one hasin the sciences is a great help inunderstanding how to interpretphenomena, especially where publicissues are involved. Coming from abackground of work in the sciences,you become much more cognizant ofhow to define problems, what you canand can’t control.” However, forexactly the same reasons, Gomerthought scientific reasoning could bedangerous in issues of public policy.He said, “Ninety percent of scientistswork on systems which are definableand simple and which have a verysmall number of variables. In physicsyou have one variable. In chemistryyou have a few more; in biology a fewmore. The mistake many scientistsmake is to apply simplistic reasoningthat is appropriate for one or twovariables to these enormously morecomplex social and political issues.”He continued, “Because I am ascientist, I think I am able to say thatit is extremely important not toconfuse the very limited contributionscience can make on such problemswhose dimensions go far beyondscience. Science is a valuable aid, butby no means a cure. With it, youunderstand certain boundaryconditions — you do not therebyunderstand human nature, which iswhere our problems really are. Andwhat we have to watch particularly atthe Bulletin is not to fall into thistrap.”And what of the young scientiststoday? How can he be helpful, as hasthe generation before him? JohnSimpson warned that, if a scientist isto remain credible as a scientist, he“must put his effort in where he canbe uniquely qualified and helpful tosociety, whether it be political orsocial, and then step out as soon asothers can take over and get back tohis scientific career.” Simpsonpointed to his own chairmanship ofthe ASC, which he resigned in 1946,and to his leadership role in theIntenational Geophysical Year, whichduring the 1950’s Cold War broughttogether scientists from dozens of East and West Bloc nations to learn,according to Simpson, “more aboutPlanet Earth than in the last 400years”. It also prevented, in theopinion of Simpson, the Cold Warfrom worsening: “We were able totalk with our counterparts in theStuart RiceSoviet Union and China, to make clearthat one country couldn’t dominateanother, that we all had strengths.”But after the IGY’s completion,Simpson once again resigned todevelop Chicago’s space program.Today, said Simpson, “I see too manypeople who become enamored of allthe wheeling and dealing inWashington, and never get back toscience. They talk like they’rescientists, but they’re not on theforefront. And the only place for ascientist to be is on the very edge ofwhat we know.”This is a fine line to walk, but thereis no indication that it will get anyeasier. With the new Cold War inprogress, there is once again an effortunderway to bring national security —the Reagan administration has placeda number of executive orders makingit easier to both classify scientificinformation and hold thoseresponsible for it to lifetime secrecy.In an editorial in the January issue ofPhysics Today, Robert Marshak,president of the American PhysicalSociety, says “Soviet scientists are asdedicated and creative as any in theworld. The Soviet government isgenerous in its support of basic andapplied science. And yet,experimental science in the SovietUnion is scandously bad. Much of the explanation...lies in the fact that theSoviets have created barriers to freecommunication for their ownscientists...” And he warns that “Itwould be ironic if in the name ofnational security, we were tojeopardize the basis of that security.It would be tragic if our methodbegan to resemble those werepudiate.”And of course there will be noscience if there are no scientists aliveto practice it — with the Clock atthree minutes to midnight, theBulletin’s editors and board ofdirectors see the danger ofthermonuclear destruction as nearernow than at any time since the 1950’s.Ruth Adams spoke about theparadoxes that have been inherent sofar in arms control treaties. “Armscontrol has not succeeded,” she said.“If you look at our efforts on armscontrol, and what has happened afteran arms control agreement, you” findthat weapons are just refined—“yousign SALT I and get MIRV, forexample”. While she was not againsttrue arms control, “as we have knownit it has gone too slow and not alwaysbeen successful. What we need aremassive reductions and a totally newLebanoncontinued from page fiveIt seems doubtful that US policy¬makers understand this, and their fail¬ure to appreciate the delicate balanceof Lebanese politics has already result¬ed in the death of many American sol¬diers. The response to this death was,unfortunately, quite typical: a mali¬cious and hysterical use of militaryforce by the US and Israel, designed tointimidate Syria, the regional badboy.The principal failure of Americanforeign policymakers has been to viewLebanon in a superpower context: thatsupport for Gemayel is necessary inorder to foil Syrian— and Soviet-backed “forces of radicalism.” In ad¬dition, the adamance with whichAmerican and Israeli political figurespursued an Israeli-Lebanese agree¬ment, finally signed on 17 May 1983,contributed to the delegitimization ofthe Gemayel government. US policy¬makers seemed blithely unaware ofthe difficulties this agreement wouldcause Gemayel, and his delegitimiza¬tion has been heightened by the natureof Israeli-Lebanese trade since theagreement: Israel has exported muchof its citrus crops to southern Lebanon, approach to what we mean bysecurity.” At the moment, however,the world situation is moving in theopposite direction. “Both sidescontinue to accelerate the arms race.All official negotiations have brokendown. Both the treaty againstweapons in space and the ABM(antiballistic missile) treaty look likethey are going to be aborted. And theworld, especially in Third Worldcountries, is increasinglymilitarized.” Adams said.Robert Gomer also spoke of what hesaw as a deteriorating worldsituation. With regard to the possibleextension of the arms race into space,he said, “What worries me is that ifthis keeps going, we will come to thepoint of no return where there can beno arms control. Measures can betaken which are irreversible. Thespace race is destablizing even thoughit is a failure because five percent isenough to kill us all. But for that 90percent, the Russians are going tobuild 10 times more missiles, and viceversa.” “Perhaps the Bulletin cancontribute to a heightened awarenessof how dangerous these things are,”he added, “but quite frankly I’m notvery optimistic.”and all shipping to and from southernLebanon must pass through Israeliports, where heavy custom taxes arelevied on goods.Although the 17 May agreement isnot a minor issue for the Lebanese, it isrelatively peripheral to the main ques¬tion: how to end the murder and de¬struction which the civil war hasbrought to Lebanon. There seems to bea growing popular consensus in Israelthat Israeli soldiers should be with¬drawn from southern Lebanon as soonas adequate security measures fortheir northern border can be obtained.Let us hope that the “Redeployment”of American troops is a first steptoward the total evacuation of all Mul¬tinational Forces from Lebanon. Whenboth the MNF and the Israelis leaveLebanon, Lebanese of all sects may beable to work together to expunge theSyrians, who have been in Lebanonsince 1976. After this, we may hope, theLebanese will be able to decide whatkind of government and society theywant.The Chicago Maroon—Friday, February 17, 1984—9Want morethan a desk job?Looking for an exciting and challeng¬ing career?

The lan¬guage of love — its permutations, fasci¬nations, and illusions — provides the in¬spiration for an album which firmlyestablishes Eurythmics as. one of themost provocative and inventive bandsof the eighties. The remarkably sparelyrics of Touch assemble and juxtaposethe familiar words and stock emotionsof the love song; the result is an albumwhich fully recognizes the allure andreassurace of popular romance, butwhich, finally, provides an unflinchingindictment of the language of love.Touch reduces the pleas, triumphs, re¬jections, and jealousies of the lover to aseries of repetitive cliches, each equal¬ly empty, desperate, and ultimatelyunrealized. On the album’s most indica¬tive song, “Who’s That Girl?,” AnnieLennox sings “the language of loveslips from my lover's tongue/coolerthan ice cream and warmer than thesun”; the words seduce, but they leadnot to emotional fulfillment, but to emo¬tional strangulation, “the language oflove has left me broken on the rock/ton¬gue tied and twisted at the price I'vehad to pay/yourjealous notions have si¬lenced these emotions.” Relying upon"multiple suggestions provoked by pur¬posefully ambiguous lyrics, Eurythmicshave fashioned a set of lyrics which is,on the surface, all about love, but whichis, finally, only about the surface oflove — surfaces which attract, disguise,and deceive. The language of love may,be the stuff of sweet dreams, butEurythmics are all too aware of the dis¬appointments of waking up.The lyrics of Touch are perfectly com¬plemented by the propulsive accompa¬niment of Annie Lennox’s band-mate,Dave Stewart. Much like the lyrics, themelodies of Touch receive their powerthrough repetition and gradual varia¬tion. Beginning with a simple melodichook, each of the nine songs on Touch isprogressively embellished by Stew¬art's densely inventive arrangementsand instrumentations. While electronickeyboards and percussion dominatethe mix. Touch avoids the computerizedmonotony which occasionally marredSweet Dreams <Are Made Of This), theduo's first album in their present incar¬nation. The sudden entrances of whist¬les. saxaphones. trumpets, xylo¬phones, synthesized strings, andheavily distorted guitars saves Touchfrom electronic excess. Whether the Ca¬lypso rollick of "Right By Your Side' orthe dirge-like "Aqua," Touch is analbum of pristine melody and instru¬mental flourish. 'However, it is not the instrumentalsof Touch, but the vocals of Annie Len¬nox which give the album its sonicpunch. Lennox's voice — with all due re¬spect to Joan Armatrading, BoyGeorge, and Paul Weller — is one of themost distinctive and remarkable instru¬ments at work in modern pop. Capableof a rich degree of gradation andnuance, Lennox’s voice captivates thelistener’s attention. Accompanying Len¬nox are a rich variety of clever backingvocals. From the strident, repetitivechant of “The First Cut” to the mocking,electronic chorus — “how could you fallfor a boy like that?” — of “Cool Blue,”Touch displays an unmatched profusionof vocal ingenuity.Touch is a rare and challengingalbum; well conceived, masterfully ex-continued on page 8 Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Troubleby Frank LubyJust three years ago Antones, a bluesclub, served as home base for Stevie RayVaughan and Double Trouble, in Austin,Texas, where the band played local clubsafter forming in 1978.“I don’t mean to sound cocky, but weneeded someone to listen,” said Vaughan.“I just didn’t realize how quickly it (ourmusic) would be accepted.”“Acceptance” may lack the power to de¬scribe what has happened in the last threeyears, for Vaughan's powerful guitarplaying has earned him an invitation tothe Montreux Jazz Festival, the opportu¬nity to play lead guitar on David Bowie’sLet's Dance, and a strong reputationamong other artists. Throughout this,Vaughan — a Texas native some writershave dubbed the greatest American gui¬tar player since Jimi Hendrix — has re¬fused to leave his band behind, and withtheir second album due out the third weekin April, Vaughan and Double Trouble findthemselves in the midst of a four-contin¬ent, worldwide tour with “no break insight.“We’ve been on the road since June oflast year,” said Vaughan “and I don’t seea break real soon.” Vaughan and DoubleTrouble will be appearing in Ida Noyesgym tomorrow night at 8 PM as part oftheir Chicago stopover.When Vaughan teamed up with drum¬mer Chris Layton and bass player TommyShannon as Double Trouble, they built alarge following in their home state, play¬ing mostly blues. But Vaughan, as the newalbum illustrates, places no limits on therange of their music.“We’re trying to put out as much (music)as we can,” said Vaughan, “but it can’t beone thing. It’s got to go several direc¬tions.“As soon as we’re pinpointed, we’llmove, and leave no roots behind. If we didwe'd be fooling ourselves.”Texas Flood, the band's first album, fea¬tured seven Vaughan originals and threecovers, and ranged from grinders such asthe “Pride and Joy” and “Love StruckBaby,” to the peaceful instrumental“Lenny,” to a classic rendition of “TexasFlood.” The new release features somelonger cuts, and took 2Vi weeks to record,whereas Texas Flood took two days.“We’ve got some swing jazz, someblues, and some completely differentstuff,” Vaughan commented, adding thatsome of that music contains some “quiet”blues as well. His older brother Jimmy ofThe Fabulous Thunderbirds, along withtheir dummer Fran Christina, play on some of the cuts, including a Jimmy Vaughanoriginal. “We also do some R & B stuff,and some stuff like Lonnie Mack, somereal quick picking.”“We care about playing different typesof music,” he added. “We want to keep allwe’ve learned, and still grow...We don’twant to copy ourselves either.”Vaughan and his band played at a Roll¬ing Stones party at New York’s Dance-taria in April 1982. That success, with thehelp of veteran producer Jerry Wexler,brought the band to Montreux, despitethe lack of a record contract. Montreuxonly opened more eyes and ears to theband, and soon CBS producer John Ham¬mond had arranged the record contract,Jackson Browne volunteered free use ofhis California studio to record, and Vaugh¬an received an invitation to play lead gui¬tar on Bowie's upcoming LP, which he ac¬cepted.Vaughan’s guitar work on Let's Danceprompted Bowie to ask Vaughan to tourwith him this past summer, and Vaughan'seventual refusal not only attracted a lotof media attention, but also demonstratedthe humble Texan's loyalty to his band.“There were promises made thatweren’t kept,” said Vaughan. “I didn'twant to leave my band behind.” Ap¬parently Double Trouble had severaldates scheduled, and Vaughan and theband figured they could open for Bowie onoccasion. In fact, many of the rehearsaldates for the Bowie tour conflicted withDouble Trouble gigs, and eventuallyVaughan decided he did not want to tourapart from the rest of his band. The thrustof media attention, though, centered onBowie's decision to pay his musicians only$300 a night.“It wasn’t necessarily the money,”Vaughan said. Vaughan has to pay DoubleTrouble a salary as well, and “I'd like tohave a little for myself. So Carlos Alomar(Bowie’s band leader) told me to ask him(Bowie) for more money.” Vaughan fol¬lowed the suggestion, and “that’s whenthings got out of hand.“He (Bowie) hasn’t talked to me since be¬fore this was screwed up,” he added.“I’ve tried to get in touch, I’ve gone to hisshows to try to contact him, but he hasn’tresponded. I’ll keep trying, though.”Departing the Bowie tour left Vaughanand Double Trouble free to embark ontheir own tour, which continues today. Theonly time off for the band came during therecording of the new album in New York.“It was strange getting back on stage,”said Vaughan about this leg of the tour,which follows their recent recording ses¬ sion. “But things are getting better andbetter.” Texas Flood took only two daysto produce because the band had freereign over the studio and recorded eightof the songs in one day. “This time,” saidVaughan, “we had to break our equip¬ment down at the end of each session andset it up again in the morning, because wedidn’t realize we only had the studio forcertain hours.” The band has recorded 90minutes of music for the album, “and we’llcondense it to about 15-17 minutes a side,maybe 18,” said Vaughan. “We’re tryingto pull off the sound we really have.”The tour, after Chicago, will take theband to Honolulu, then back to Los Angelesfor the Grammy Awards, then to a CBSconvention. After that the tour includesdates in New York, Scandanavia (for amonth), Australia, Hong Kong, and -Japan,before a return to Hawaii, and then, atlast, home, where Vaughan still has astrong bond. “There are a lot of values, alot of friendships going on, and it’s nice toget back and see it sometimes.”The depth of Vaughan’s commitment tohis music also shows in his willingness tohelp Chicago blues legend Willie Dixonwith his Blues Heaven foundation, whichwill find bands for blues players and helpthem out.“A lot of people have opened a lot ofdoors for me,” Vaughan said, “and I'mdoing my best to open those doors forothers. And that goes all the way back.It’s a wonderful thing, and I’ll help anyway I can.”Dixon's desire to establish such a foun¬dation reflects one of the problems withblues and blues musicians: exposure. Touse Chicago as an example, only one majorstation, WXRT-FM, regularly mixes bluesin with its programming, and except forrecords a trip to the Checkerboard or Lin¬coln Park remains the only option. “Peo¬ple don’t get to hear it in the meantime.”said Vaughan about the blues, citing thatat the live shows “everyone likes this kindof music — it’s real. It’s not a formula toget people to buy records. It’s the realthing.”Soul represents the heart of music, the“real thing,” according to Vaughan. “I domy best to play the real thing. If I can do itwell enough for me to believe in it,” hesaid, “then it's good enough to keep try¬ing.” Out of contemporary music Vaughanlikes Michael Jackson, “but I also likeGeorge Jones and Dolly Parton. I like a lotof different types of music. There are lotsof other ways to be popular ana still havesoul. I’m glad to see others doing it.”Vaughan described the present scene inAustin to demonstrate this. “Buddy Guy isdown there now,” he said, “with LonnieMack and Mel Brown (Bobby Bland's gui¬tarist) and they're having guitar warsevery night.” The rest of the large ense¬mble includes several piano players,George Raines on drums, and vocalist An¬gela Strehli, al at Antones, “and they’rehaving a blast. The club closes at 2 a m. sothey take the drinks up then and play tillfour.“It's ready to bust out,” he added. “It’sinevitable. There’s too many people hav¬ing fun.”Vaughan set the stage for his own bust¬ing out at age 12, when he first beganplaying bass with Jimmy. He soon pickedup guitar, and his exposure to B.B King.Johnnie Winter, Albert King, and the lateMuddy Waters shaped his still-developingstyle. He began playing local clubs, buteventually the grind of playing late-nightshows and attending school in the morningbecame too much to handle, so he droppedout of school at 17 and moved to Austin.Some nights in Austin he had to sleep onthe floors of the clubs after the shows, ashe tried to make ends'meet. But the forma¬tion of Double Trouble fueled new popu¬larity, and soon Vaughan. Shannon, andLayton became Austin's most popular act.They acquired Chesley Millikin, a racetrack owner, as their manager, and Milli¬kin still guides the band today as they tryto bring their music to as many people inhis many ways as possible.“I’m no expert, I have no monopoly onsoul, but I give it the best I got,” saidVaughan.What truth lies in the comparisons withHendrix and Eric Clapton?

Not a great or even goodfilm, but one which is fascinatingnonetheless. Costa-Gavras seems toemphasize his weakest points(characters) and to de-emphasize hisstrongest points (a strong politi¬cal/thriller narrative), producingwhat is his most personal but hismost cold film. Costa-Gavras has nofeel for how people act outside of se¬vere political pressures, and his at¬tempt to “humanize" both sides inthe Israeli-Palestinian conflict,while of noble intent, only results inradical shifts between an attemptedrealism and a strained caricaturing.All in all, one of the most strangeand perverse films I’ve seen thisyear, and worth seeing. Facets-JMThe Ballad of Narayama A chartermember of the Japanese New Waveand one of the most innovative andadmired of Japanese directorstoday, Shohei Imamura has over theyears compiled a body of work asrichly nuanced and intractably per¬sonal as those of Luis Bunuel, RobertBresson and his own countrymanKenji Mizoguchi. Like Mizoguchi andKurosawa, Imamura searches forthe essence of Japaneseness witheach succeeding film. But whereasMizoguchi identified it as the resil¬ience of oppressed geishas andKurosawa equated it with theheroics of selfless samurai, Imamurahas been looking for it in the primi¬tive and earthy people who popu¬late the lower and outlying reachesof the Japanese society. Workingmuch as a cultural anthropologist —the documentary look of his filmsbears this out — he has roamed allover Japan from the snowboundnorth where the extended family re¬mains under the 'rule of the patri¬arch to the southern islands aroundOkinawa, where shamanesess stillhave magical powers. "I want tomake messy, really human, Japa¬nese, unsettling films,” he has de¬clared. Accordingly, his films are fullof greedy, lustful, vicious, vulgar,ribald and often touching characterswho survive purely on the instinc¬tual level and who live by age-oldcustoms and superstitions. "The re¬ality of Japan is those little (Shinto)shrines, the superstition and the ir¬rationality that pervade the Japa¬nese consciousness under the veneerof the business suits and advancedtechnology," he stated in a 1977 in¬terview with critic Audie Bock. "TheJapanese did not change as the re¬sult of the Pacific War — theyhaven't changed in thousands ofyears."

It tells ofa certain squalid village in the re¬mote northern mountains wnich tra¬ditionally abandons its aged on amountaintop in order to ensure thatthe younger people can eat. In theImamura version, Orin, the matri¬arch of a family, has reached theage of 70. Despited her obvioushealth, the villagers are tauntingher, urging her to observe the hon¬ored law of the village. So, she pre¬pares for the eventuality: she buysa daughter-in-law for her recentlywidowed elder son, she secures anon-complaining matron as bedmatefor her stinking idiot son, and shesmashs her front teeth so village ur¬chins would stop mocking her as ademon with thirty-three teeth. Buther toughest task is to persuade herloving elder son to carry her to themountaintop. In the end, she forceshim to face the inevitable. Their ar¬duous trek up the mountaintopgraveyard is a rite of passage forboth: she to die, he to come to termswith the rhythm of nature and life.In the final scene of the film, the sonreturns home. He sees his wife wear¬ing a sash which belonged to hismother: his mother now lives in hiswife. Outside, snow is falling oncemore on the village (the film beganwith a helicopter shot of the sleep,snow-blanketed village). Some¬where, a snake coils into hiberna¬tion. One cycle has ended, pavingway for the next. This last image isfull of reverberations; it’s one of themost touching moments in cinemaNarayama is exquisitely photo¬graphed; the ensemble acting is sonatural that it would be hard to be¬lieve that Sumiko Sakamoto whoplayed the old woman Orin is a cele¬brated pop singer (on the order ofPeggy Lee). With Narayama, Ima¬mura. once again, shows the Japa¬nese the vital roots of their collec¬tive consciousness. Highlyrecommended. Noon, Sun Feb 19 atthe Biograph Theatre.

He’s a nice boy” sug¬gests Krzysztof Zanussi’s Ways in theNight currently playing at Facets Multime¬dia. The movie (Polish-made, filmed inGerman in West-Germany) takes place inGerman occupied Poland during the Sec¬ond World War. It is not, however, a“war” film nor is it even another exampleof the growing “Nazis were bad” genre. Itis the romantic story of a young, idealisticGerman officer’s attraction for an olderPolish countess. The movie raises issuesabout war which are not specific to NaziGermany^, in a sense most of the peopleand situations portrayed could have beentaken from any war. The movie is thus notnecessarily about World War II, the Nazicharacter and all that’s associated with it,but a meditation on the kinds of problemswarfare has always engendered for thepeople involved. By avoiding facile char¬acterizations of Nazism (at least to a cer¬tain degree) the movie can create complex•characters rather than the simple “Nazi” and his opponent “The Good.”Friedrich, the young officer (MathieuCarriere), and his comrades have takenover a Polish estate and pushed its ownersinto the small guest house. Among theother officers is Friedrich’s cousin Hans Al¬bert (Horst Frank) with whom he has avery close relationship; they discuss art,aesthetics, love and war, and it is herethat Friedrich's sensitivity is initiallybrought out. Hans Albert, who is well-edu¬cated (it’s unclear, but he might have beena university professor), has much more ofthe Nazi way about him than Friedrich. ForHans Albert hunting is beautiful becauseits natural and the war itself is an oppor¬tunity for men to drop the kind of over-in-tellectualized culture that can too easilylead to dandyism. He’s no doltish, art-hater however; he chides Friedrich forbeing too sensitive, not for liking art andculture but for liking the wrong kinds (hedoesn’t like Bosch for example). Hans Al¬bert has a need for a particular kind ofSturm und Drang culture and it’s here thefilm deals most explicitly with Nazism. TheHans Albert character remains fairly am¬biguous though; it is unclear whether he isreally a rascist/fascist or just an over-zealous German romantic who’s read toomuch Neitzsche. Indeed if Zanussi is sug¬gesting anything about Nazism it is that itgrew out of and played on this kind of Ger¬man tradition in a way tha. ould appeal to intellectuals, or leave them cold, as itdoes Friedrich.Friedrich himself is a very sympatheticcharacter. He is naive but his naivete isborn of idealism rather than childishness;he is well-educated, a connoisseur of thearts, and as he says he never cared muchfor violence. In short he is an Old World hu¬manist and he attempts to win the Coun¬tess by appealing to the same qualities inher. While Friedrich sees their common cul¬tural ground as transcending nationalhatreds, the Countess is unwilling to for¬get that he is a German and an enemy oc¬cupier. She rejects him and makes fun ofhim. To the Countess his position appearshypocritical; his ideas about the tran¬scendency of art, and a cultural commonground, are ridiculous to her in light of therealities of the occupation. Harboring par¬tisans is much more important to the Coun¬tess than talking art and music with theenemy.The movie works, and works well, be¬cause Friedrich and the Countess are suchcarefully drawn characters and their rela¬tionship contains tensions and powerplays that are tense and complicated. TheCountess (Maja Komorowska) is especiallyeffective and her performance is such thatshe can easily be seen as the central char¬acter (stealing the show from the less in¬teresting Friedrich.) She is enigmatic, unin¬timidated by the Germans and powerful in ways that Friedrich is not. She rejects Frie¬drich at first but has enough savvy to real¬ize that she can use his affections advan¬tageously. Friedrich too has hiscomplexities and because of this the moviecan easily play with the audiences expect¬ed sympathies. There is no need to hatethe German and equally it is sometimeseasy to see the Countess as cruel and un¬bending.The director Zanussi, achieves a kind ofnaturalism in the performance thatdoesn’t neglect their dramatic aspect (nopretense of cinema verite here). He steersclear of easy effects and simple character¬izations; the film’s pace and its unobtru¬sive, but consistently interesting, camerawork underscore this dramatically intensenaturalism. (The score and the scenery addto the beauty of this film.)Ways in the Night is striking in its com¬paratively non-dogmatic portrayal of theGermans (although it is quite clearly onthe side of the Poles) and its avoidance ofeasy kinds of emotional audience manipu¬lation. The films flaws — some stilted dia¬logue and a few awkward scenes — aresmall in comparison to its virtues. The cen¬tral relationship of the Countess and Frie¬drich is tense and absorbing throughout —a high wire act that in a lesser film mighthave degenerated into a maudlin lovestory — retains its integrity in Zanussi’shands.BALLETby Johanna StoyvaBalanchine and Mozart opened Mon¬day's performance of the American Bal¬let Theatre with Symphonie Concer-tante, choreographed by Balanchine toMozart's Sinfonia Concertante in E-FlatMajor for violin and viola. Gelsey Kirk¬land danced the part of violin, andCheryl Yeager the part of viola. Whilethe violin and viola were in synche,Kirkland and Yeager, unfortunately,were not. The two followed each otherlike trace shadows on a t.v. screen.When they danced in opposition, how¬ever, each was strong, and they extri¬cated themselves with admirable gracefrom the tangled links they formed around their partner, Ross Streeter.The high-arching, ‘neo-classic' tutus andsubtle treatment of sexual themeswere juxtaposed fruitfully with thewell-mannered Mozart.A huge canvas of wind-spatteredgreens was background for the singleforlorn ballerina in olive green whowandered about the stage in the firstmoments of “The Leaves Are Falling.”This piquant mood grew too heavy foritself when explicated by a corp ofequally forlorn couples. The pieceachieved an ennervated mood ratherone of delicate melancholy.Twyla Tharp’s The Little Ballet i&aptly named; if one keeps the title inmind, it isn’t too disappointing. Barysh¬nikov’s rather cautious technical per¬fection was enlivened by bursts ofspontaneity and obvious pleasure in hisown movement. His occasional shoulder-hunched. tip-toed jazziness contrasted sharply with the restraint of hispartner, Deirdre Carberry, and thethree ballerinas of the. chorus. Barysh¬nikov vyore grey trousers, grey tie, andbutton-down shirt in a contrasting greytone. This costume was inharmonious inmood with the more traditional silkendrapery of the women. Carberry woreorange-scarlet over her grey ‘petti¬coat,’ while the other women wore blue-based purples over theirs. This piececould gain in subtlety and visual pie-sure — yet still remain the showpiecefor Baryshnikov it is intended to be — ifthe jazz influence were spread more lib¬erally among the dancers, and if lessnoxious color contrasts were chosen forthe ballerinas' gowns.Billy The Kid opened with the broadbrown back of a pioneer straining as hemoved slowly westward. Clad in home-spun prairie garb, more pioneers fol¬lowed, every man and woman of them as determined as their leader to moveforward. The plain folk left the stageand Billy, his friend Pat, and enemyAlia, made their brilliant appearances.The legend of Billy which followed wasperformed with consistent humor, con¬trol, and elegance. David Cuevas’ per¬formance of Alias had enough electrici¬ty to rival the glow of his fluorescentgreen boots. As The Sweetheart, ElaineKudo danced with mildness and preci¬sion during the scene in which Billydreams of her; that cowboy takes offhis black suede chaps too soon though,and ex-pal pat’s buttett catches him un¬awares. After this vivid color and en¬ergy, the return of the slow moving pio¬neers in the next scene overcame thedanger of cliche to achieve freshnessand power. * „ABT will be performing tonight andtomorrow at the Auditorium Theatre.See calendar for details.HUSKERS WHO?by Russell ForsterHe had a mild case of chains and spikesand leather, but he was okay.

These are three points in needof clarification,First, I would dispute that the link, be¬tween the literary symbolist movementand Khnopff's work is critical to theoutstanding of the visual images. Thebiographical data which document aloose association between Khnopff.Malarme and others is disputed The ar¬tist roamed in literary circles and a.fewo? the works m the show1 were original¬ly published ir conjunction with bookspoetry but if k '■’•of “ o works are il¬ lustrative of shared values, this hardlymakes them illustrations. Shared idealsdoes not imply dependence or even in¬terdependence. The works of art standor fall on their own. Mr. Katz, in grap¬pling with his own demons of “con¬text,” “didactic art,” and “program--matic art” comes up empty-handed inrelation to these works. That does not,however, necessarily signify a short¬coming of the works of art, as Katzallows it toSecond, there is an ineffable qualityto Khnopff's works which Mr. Katzsensed. Because he could not put hisfinger on it, he felt the works empty ofmeaning for the present viewers. Yethis experience of dis-ease, of being be¬tween categories, between allegories,is just what the artist intended It is notthat today we have forgotten the con¬ventions to which these “symbols”-refer They had the same effect at thetime of the production. They attempt tostand outside of time, to evoke the feel¬ing of grasping for something half-for¬ gotten, for some other dream-like exis¬tence which, though hazy and not fullyunderstood, is compellingly real. One ofthe three stunning patel landscapes isentitled “My heart weeps for otherdays.” This evocation of a lost child¬hood, and the many sensuous and eroticimages are themes which stand in needof no context other than universalhuman experience, and they are repea¬tedly used by artists and mystics be-,cause for most of us these experiences.of loss of a sense of individual self, arethe closest we come to experience of thesurreal.Third. Khnopff's technique is perfect¬ly married to this objective of initiatingan inner-directed ritual. The luscious,rich surfaces lock us into a responsewhich is neither completely cerebral,nor completely visceral. The work con¬sistently slands out for its graphic vir¬tuosity In design and composition,many of the works are consciously ec¬centric (circular, minute or very narrowcompositions, the odd angle, the view which is cut off) without being strident¬ly self-conscious or blatantly calling outfor attention. The subtle and “atonal”coloristic effects strike us in the sameway. Above all, it is in the draftsman¬ship that they reveal a masterful hand.The works — especially the pastels —are exquisitely rendered. The softenedline, sensuously idealized into subtlecurves, and the richly modulated sur¬faces which emerge from the void, maybe old, old tricks, but they are dear,and not, as Mr. Katz would have it,cheap, overwrought cliches. Khnopff’sloving execution speaks for itself, andis to be recommended for its “silent ton¬gue.”In both the execution and the contentthese works of Fernand Khnopff havemuch to offer, more than would appearfrom the modest scale and number inthe show The Smart Gallery and allthose who mounted tho exhibition areto be congratulated and thanked.Rob Linrothe4—FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1984—THE GREY CITY JOURNALBUCKS 'N' YUCKSby Johanna StoyvaPerforming a three hour show with aminimalist set is a big responsibility; it re¬quires sustained energy and freshnessfrom the actors, and a set which can accom¬modate variation and forgive oversightson the part of the actors. It is a responsibil¬ity which The Other Theatre Group’s prod¬uction of Ben Jonson’s Volpone fulfills.Generally, the plot consists of Volpone andMosca’s scam to increase the former’swealth by collecting tributes from rich menhoping to become the childless Volpone’sheir when his mysterious ailment getsaround to killing him. Volpone is, ofcourse, in robust health.Jonson’s sixteenth century Venice Vol¬pone has been moved to the present in thisproduction. I was concerned about the reci¬procally diluting effects of Jonson’s lan¬guage and the modern costumes, but whatin fact results is a self-confident hybrid.Overall, the cast felt comfortable with thearchane language. Though the charactersare for the most part two dimensional,their lines do sound as if they have originsin varying human emotions. The costumeswere chosen with an apprecaition of the vi¬sual impact of each, and the blocking bal¬anced their ‘weights’ sensibly. Celia’sgreen and turquoise polka-dotted ensem¬ble and the get-ups of the jugglers werepleasures for the eye, though the lattermight benefit from a less haphazard ap¬pearance. The lighting, by Curtiss Cohen,was effective and nearly executed.The supporting roles were performedwith the understanding and conviction nec¬essary to give the play coherence. RuthOliver as the over-enthusiastic LadyWould-Be was riotously funny. Joe Scrop-po as Sir Politic managed an interestingblend of Jonson and his own husky, Ameri¬can tough guy voice. Politic’s sometimefriend, Peregrine, played by Alex Kolker,seemed at first to be simply a straight-man to Politic’s absurdities, but his charac¬ter also has flashes of inspired lunacy. Hismarvelous ‘grouchoesque’ lines could easi¬ly handle a more exaggerated delivery.Daniel Promislow is charming as the sweetAnrogyno. In one of several roles, LauraP°beck snaps her gum with split-second timing so that this potentially word-slur¬ring detail helps her short performancecount.As Corbaccio, Alexander Beels handleshis bent-double walk and cane comfort¬ably, and delivers his deaf old man mala-propisms with belated accuracy. His son,Ron Edwards, is well-suited to the rolewith his flower child looks, though moreassertiveness would improve his perfor¬mance — after all, Bonario is an idealist.Leo Krug brings out the worm-like charac¬ter beneath the pleasant, tweedy appear¬ance of Corbino with assurance. DawnBrennan as Celia, the wife he would barterfor the right to be Volpone’s heir, is solidin her ‘virtue’s all I’ve got’ role. The not¬able exception to this is the attemptedrape scene, in which she and John Hildrethcreate a respectable degree of tension, inmarked contrast to the rest of this lightplay.The supporting characters must bestrong or find themselves overshadowedby the polished performances of John Hil¬dreth as Volpone, and Mark Ray Hcllmannas Mosca. Hildreth makes a marvelous pic¬ture in his malingerer’s costume of astriped robe, plaid Santa Claus hat, and anodd fur mantle about his shoulders. Thebody control evident in his grotesque con¬tortions is imoressive, as are the unbeliev¬ably evil stares he casts from beneath theplaid cap. His role is clearly better offover-acted than under; however, hispower is sometimes a bit diffuse. Hollmannis superb. He makes Jonson’s language hisown, infusing it with quick wit, varied in¬tonation, and confidence. His nimble facialexpressions and elegant presence are de¬lightful.What much of this praise points to is adirector, J. Scott Johnson, who realizes theimportance of consciously making themany small and large decisions crucial toconveying his conception of the play as awhole.Volpone is three hours long with one tenminute intermission. To enjoy it takes a lit¬tle stamina, so when you see it, hold off onthe cocktails until after the show. Volponewill be performed tonight and tomorrownight. See calendar for details.THE POWERS THAT BEby Lisa KatzmanFor many Americans for whom the issueof nuclear war has been unconsciously re¬legated to the unthinkable, the Novemberairing of the t.v. movie, The Day After,ripped the veil of (what anti-nuclear acti¬vist Helen Caldicott has termed) manic de¬nial that has enshrouded American con¬sciousness about nuclear war for nearlyforty years. Using the disaster film genre,and plenty of special effects, The DayAfter presented the public with a sof¬tened, made for t.v. kind of horror; yet atthe same time it captured a sense of deso¬lation and destruction that served toalarm, shock and depress millions of Amer¬icans — some of whom for the first timebegan to seriously think and dream aboutnuclear holocaust. Shrewdly anticipatingthese sorts of public responses, the Rea¬gan administration saw fit to make an offi¬cial response to the film.George Schultz should go on record forringing in the spirit of 1984, (albeit, oneand a half months early) for the fine ex¬ample of doublespeak he exhibited duringthe panel discussion on “Nightline,” fol¬lowing the movie that evening. With hiseyes shifting frantically about, Schultz re¬marked something to the effect that thefact that we haven’t had a nuclear war isproof of the government’s opposition to it,and the efficacy of our deterrence policies.If not dropping a bomb on Hiroshima priorto 1945 didn’t establish a precedent fornot doing so in 1945, why should the factthat we haven’t yet started a nuclear warprove that we won't in the future?It is the logical absurdity of statementssuch as Schultz’s, which are altogethercharacteristic of the moral irresponsibilityand cynicism that pervades our nationalsecurity policies, the production of nucleararms and our government’s appalling lackof concern about the lethal effects radia¬tion has had both on military personnelwho were involved in nuclear operationsduring the Second World War and the civil¬ian population who work in nuclear plantstoday. And it is precisely these issues thatprompted Joan Harvey to make the docu¬mentary America — from Hitler to MX.If The Day After is a film which ripped the veil of manic denial off the nuclearthreat that hangs over the world by stir¬ring up fears, it is paradoxically also afilm that allows one to retreat from thosefears.Because nuclear disaster swells withinthe realm of future possibilities it is dis¬tanced from the everyday. We are insulat¬ed from our fear of it by the same uncer¬tainty to which everything postulated inthe future belongs.By bridging the gap between the realmof future possibility and everyday reality,America — from Hitler to MX is a film thatmakes a retreat into manic denial virtual¬ly impossible. It is also a film that makesthe Bulletin of Atomic Scientists assess¬ment that the minute hand on the nuclearwatch clock is five minutes away from mid¬night, chillingly comprehensible.Rather than giving a fictionalized ac¬count of what could happen, Harvey’s doc¬umentary focuses on the history of nucleararms, the present enviromental and healthatrocities generated by the nuclear armsindustry and exposes the power elite thatcontrols our national security policies, en¬vironmental policies and ultimately thefate of the earth.Harvey eschews presenting an “objec¬ tive” view of the nuclear arms issue infavor of a polemical approach to advanceher argument. More than anything, it isthis strategy, which those who don't agreewith the premises of her film will probablyfind fault with. Yet the type of documenta¬ry “objectivity” Harley’s film makes nopretenses toward maintaining is an actual¬ity often a self-cancelling endeavor. AsOphul's The Sorrow and the Pity, and Bar¬bara Kopple’s Harlan County U.S.A. attestto, presenting the other side of an argu¬ment can prove to be one of the most expe¬dient means at the disposal of a directorfor reinforcing his or her argument. Harleymay undercut the opposition by not givingit equal say, but it is only fair to point outthat in doing so she also undercuts thetype of inadvertent support including theopposing view could lend to her argument.Harvey advances her argument socratical-ly, drawing deeper layers of latent impli¬cations into it as she develops it. By coun-terposing the overvoice of the variousnarrators, at various points throughoutthe film, with the visual images of selectednews clippings and other texts (whichmore often than not work in ironic, even la¬conic juxtaposition) Harvey constructs adense and passionate argument for theAdmiral Q«n» La Rocqy with Joan Harvey case against nuclear arms.The main theme of the film is establishedthrough the opening speech of a labor or¬ganizer who discusses how the pro-mili¬tary, pro-nuclear attitudes of many Ameri¬cans derives both from most Americans'lack of personal experience with war andthe U.S. government's use of communism tolegitimize the nuclear arms race, whichbenefits the multinationals who turn a tre¬mendous profit from nuclear arms prod¬uction. (Annual increased military spend¬ing only serves to reinforce the profitmargin for multinationals.) Through aseries of interviews with labor leaders,people active in the anti-nuclear move¬ment, senators, political and military lu¬minaries such as Rear Admiral Gene LaRocque (famous for his disarmament plan)and Herbert Scoville (formerly a seniorCIA official), as well as men who served inthe military's first nuclear operations andbombings of Hiroshima and Nagaski, Har¬vey reveals both the myths and businessinterests that perpetuate the arms race.What emerges is a portrait of the “mili¬tary-industrial complex” that is truly fa¬scist in character. Some of the more inter¬esting material in the film is the historicalevidence documenting how certain Ameri¬can corporations, such as DuPont, aidedthe Nazi war effort, and how other compa¬nies hedged their bets by manufacturingmunitions for both sides. We learn thatwar reparations were made to these samecompanies in Germany by the U.S. govern¬ment, that Standard Oil gave the Nazispatents and that the other corporationsold technological secrets to the Nazisthrough the Swiss. The extent to whichthese activities were condoned by our gov¬ernment is exemplified by the preferen¬tial treatment given by these plants byAmerican bombers during the war.The connection of corporations such asExxon, Standard Oil and DuPont, who nowmanufacture nuclear warheads, to Nazi ac¬tivities in the 30s and 40s is reddent withsinister implications. Harvey suggests thatour government's dependence on the mul¬tinationals, allows our security policies tobe mandated by business interests. Howelse does one explain that when trying towin support for the MX missile (with itsfirst strike, silo destroying capabilities)President Carter in 1979 abandoned ourgovernment’s policy of eschewing firstcontinued on page 6THE GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1984—5POWERScontinued from page 5strike weapons and adopted as officialpolicy the erroneous concept of “limitednuclear war” (which earlier in his adminis¬tration he had viewed as the impossibilityit surely is) and declared the MX as theideal weapon for sustaining a “limited nu¬clear war.”At the very end of the film, an ex-Nazidescribes how during the war he was con¬vinced that Germany was right and theworld was wrong. After the war he rea¬lized his mistake. He believed what theReich told him and wonders if the Ameri¬can people have yet realized that they tooare being manipulated by a militarymania that could also have irreparableconsequences for the rest of the world. Theauthoritative tone of the man’s voice lendsan almost Blakean allegorical meaning tohis words. He is the voice of experience ap¬pealing to a nation that is so invested inthe myth of its innocence, that it is blind tothe shadow of destruction it casts over theworld. And as Blake knew an innocencethat is blind to its own dark forces anddoes not heed the voice of experience be¬comes a corrupted and dangerous inno¬cence.In America — from Hitler to MX this cor¬ruption is vividly symbolized by the cal¬loused and rascist use uranium mining cor¬porations make of the Native AmericanIndian population of this country. In one ofthe most distrubing episodes of the film,Harvey interviews several Navajos, whohave worked for the mining companies,which in the process of extracting the ura¬nium have recklessly contaminated theair, land and water supplies of the reser¬vations where the Navajos work and live.As one biophysics professor lectures hisclass, in another segment of the film, theamount of radiation produced by the man¬ufacture of a given quantity of plutoniumis equal to the amount of radiation result¬ing from the explosion of a bomb contain¬ing that same quantity.In light of the connection Harvey has es¬tablished between the multinationals andthe Nazis, the flagrant exploitation of theNative Americans and the land they inhab¬it, by the plutonium producing corpora¬tions takes on decisively odious over¬tones.In the course of her interviews with theNavajos, Harvey shows us two old Navajomen who worked for many years for theuranium mines and are now dying ofcancer from exposure to large doses of ra¬diation. The men say they have been for¬bidden by their bosses to speak to thepress, and from their ghastly appearanceone immediately realizes why. They de¬scribe their work conditions, how theywere forced to work, even when they weresick. They have no unions, and the compa¬nies have not made even the barest ges¬ture to improve working conditions to com¬pensate the workers or their families forthe medical problems from which they aredying. The men’s hollowed eyes and wast¬ed bodies speak volumes about how theyhave been treated, and their resemblanceto concentration camp survivors is appall¬ing. The image of these men crystalizes themeaning of the old German man’s warningabout the possibility of America turninginto a corporate police state. The economicmarginality and desperation of the NativeAmericans have forced them into accept¬ing the presence of the corporations andthe deadly jobs they provide. Rascism andthe “invisibility” of the Native Americansguarantees that they can be shamelesslyexploited with impunity by these corpora¬tions.Although the treatment of the NativeAmericans in the film represents the ex¬tremes of exploitation and endangermentthe nuclear industry is capable of, therewere many other people interviewed inthe film who claimed similar damage fromworking in the nuclear plants. The primaryreason most people gave for why they hadallowed plants to be built in their commu¬nities (that is, if they had any say so) wasfor the job opportunities they provide. In¬creased arms production is a traditionalmeans of boosting a depressed economyand allaying unemployment — whose longterm costs have historically outweighedshort term benefits. Unemployment is highand the nuclear industry is prepared tomake shrewd use of this situation as theshort Iif6-span of plutonium insures astable market demand for plutoniumfueled warheads. Needless .to say theproduction of nuclear arms is a parasiticenterprise, as the value of the commodityit contributes to the market is an emptyone, that can only be exchanged for an¬other and absolute form of nullity — thedestruction of the world.The inevitability of nuclear war is not aforegone conclusion, but if the minute handon the nuclear watch clock edges a littlecloser toward midnight, it could become so.America — from Hitler to MX will be shownat the Parkway Theatre on Feb. 22nd. by Michael KotzeHans-Jurgen Syberberg is a tremen¬dously ambitious artist. He makes films,but to merely label him a film directordoesn't seem to tell the whole story. Per¬haps this is because his work is so dif¬ferent from that of any other filmmaker.His films are dazzingly complex collagesof sounds and images, mad fairy-castles ofideas, with references to an incrediblywide variety of art and literature. Theseare messy films; one is constantly con¬vinced that he is trying to cram too muchon to the screen. Very often Syberberg’sfilms seem perilously overloaded with ob¬scure “meaning”. But the key to Syber¬berg’s creative personality is his artisticmeglomania. To say that his reach fre¬quently exceeds his grasp is not a crticism— rather, it’s a fact of his artistic life: it’ssimply how the man works.Syberberg’s concept of film is closely al¬lied with the very teutonic notion of Ge-samtkunstwerk, a synthesis of art formsinto one unified work of art, a work muchgreater than the sum of its parts. Tpis,combined with his vilification of mostevery other filmmaker working today (hisdiatribes against Fassbinder and Wendersare well known), and his totally idiosyn¬cratic artistic style seem to make him atrue spiritual descendant of that othergreat German artistic meglomaniac, Rich¬ard Wagner, whose music dramas revolu¬tionized the musical theatre, while Syber¬berg would like to revolutionize the cine¬ma.Syberberg’s films are uniquely con¬ceived; generally shot on sparsely fur¬nished soundstages, the films get their ka-lidescopic visual impact through the use ofcontinually shifting projections on scrimsand backdrops. Sometimes these proj¬ections provide scenery, other times theyoffer commentary on the action. The pre¬vailing tone of most of Syberberg’s filmsis one of Wagnerian romanticism (with achild-like sense of wonder expressedthrough his frequent use of puppets), butwith an ironic edge of Brechtian alien¬ation. Brecht and Wagner are generallyconsidered to embody two opposite ap¬proaches to the dramatic arts, withWagner the master of illusion, and Brechtas the champion of clarity. Syberbergadmits that his combination of “Brecht +Wagner” is an “aesthetic scandal.” He ex¬plains himself in his introductory essay tothe script of his 1977 work Hitler: A Filmfrom Germany (1982; Farrar, Straus, andGiroux; New York):“I sought an aesthetic scandal: combin¬ing Brecht’s doctrine of epic theatre withRichard Wagner’s musical aesthetics, cine-matically conjoining the epic system asanti-Aristotelian cinema with the laws of anew myth.“Today’s movie-house movie has, in myopinion, been the locus of a deterioratedform of Aristotelian dramaturgy — de¬teriorated into boulevard triviality — forthe past fifty years, without poetic, aes¬thetic, or intellectual innovation. A reac¬tionary form of culture in the hands ofshopkeepers and functionaries...The greatinventions of the modern theater, with itsinterest in traditions of epic dramaturgyover the course of history, have neverbeen grasped and assimilated by the cin¬ema.“...The line of anti-Aristotelian theater,which Brecht called ‘epic’, is based on apossibility — highly profitable for the cin¬ema — of elements like stationary series(i.e., chapter division), alienation, demon-strability, distancing, non-tectonic flash¬back, breaking of illusion...the chance totake seriously the origin of tragedy in thestructure of music. We who make films arethe heirs to Western civilization.“...And now comes the leap that I findimportant; it was Brecht’s right, as thestrongest exponent of this new and oldaesthetics, to emphasize his special inter¬est in the didactic, in the necessity of en¬lightenment...“And now for the moral. The aestheticmoral...we must break with everything,not just with irony, through, say, music orvarious levels of projection and perhapshistorical quotations and associations, andultimately bring ourselves to a dreadfullysimple, almost childish naivete, if that isstill possible, on the basis of our memoriesof ourselves or of the lost life of our cul¬ture...A new artistic unity as a continua¬tion of life, a new metaphysics as myththrough cinema. All this looks complicat¬ed — but when something comes directly,is spoken, appears before the camera, oris heard as music, the strangest thingsreach us with a new freedom; then it is like a blow, virtually never before seen orheard.”Is this so different from the aesthetics ofthe Wagnerian music dramas? Wagner,using his sytem of leitmotivs (musicalphrases characterizing particular persons,objects, or ideas), was able to expresscomplex and difficult situations in hisoperas with astonishing directness — sure¬ly this is the “new freedom” of which Sy¬berberg speaks: the idea is the same. It isno accident that several of Syberberg’sfilms have had Wagnerian subjects; heoffers his most sustained meditation onWagner in his latest film, Parsifal, whichwill be shown February 20 and 21 at theFine Arts Theatre.Parsifal is Syberberg’s word-for-word,note-for-note rendering of the Wagneropera, which tells the story of the gui¬leless fool Parsifal, and the Knights of theHoly Grail; the text was written byWagner himself, who created somethingquite new working from old medievalsources. The leader of the knights, Amfor-tas, lays stricken, suffering from a never-healing wound inflicted on him by the evilsorceror Klingsor. A spiritual pall hangsover the knights and their tormentedking, who can only be healed by an “inno¬cent fool, made wise through compassion.”This is the young Parsifal; the fulcrum ofthe drama is his awakening to under¬standing and compassion, at the hands ofa uniquely Wagnerian creation, Kundry, awoman accursed since she mocked Christon the cross. She is the opera’s most fascin¬ating character, a changeling who servesboth the knights and the wicked Klingsor,and who appears as both a worn and hag¬ridden old woman, and a beautiful seduc¬tress. She was responsible for the fall ofAmfortas, and it is her attempted seduc¬tion of Parsifal that leads to his enlighten¬ment. The opera’s story is quintessentialWagner, climaxing with a moving scene ofspiritual redemption.Now, there have been plenty of film ad¬aptations of operas before, but I doubt ifanyone has ever seriously considered film¬ing Parsifal; first of all, it is very, verylong (well over four hours), and secondly,the action is very static. Wagner is moreconcerned with inner states than with ex¬terior action — it’s the music that’s mostimportant, not the visuals. Parsifal cannot be considered a hot cinematic proper¬ty. Most successful opera films have beenattempts to bring opera to a wider audi¬ence, through popular, appealing workslike The Magic Flute and La Traviata. Par¬sifal is just not that sort of opera; it’s notmeant for mass-consumption (as a matterof fact, Wagner insisted that it should beperformed only at his festival theatre inBayreuth, and those interested wouldhave to make a pilgrimage of sorts to hearit). Parsifal, with its length and complex¬ity, seems an unlikely choice for cinematicadaptation.Yet with Syberberg, it almost seems in¬evitable. Syberberg has been dealingwith Wagner for years. His first great suc¬cess, Ludwig: Requiem for a Virgin King,dealt with Bavaria’s legendary Ludwig II,the “mad king” who was Wagner’s chiefpatron; the film is suffused with Wag¬nerian music and imagery. A later film,the 1975 Confessions of Winifred Wagner,is a five-hour interview with the 78-year-old daughter-in-law of Richard Wagner.The film was shot at Winifred’s home inBayreuth, and takes the form of one gi¬gantic monologue, with Winifred lookingback on her life, concentrating on her closefriendship with Adolf Hitler. And Syber¬berg’s magnum opus thus far, the seven-hour Hitler, A Film from Germany, whichhighlights the image of Hitler rising trium¬phantly out of Wagner’s mist-shroudedgrave. A connection between Wagner andNazism is made explicit.It is impossible to ignore the associa¬tions surrounding Wagner’s music: horrorstories of concentration camp prisonerswalking to their deaths to the strains ofIsolde’s Liebestod, the fanfares of themass rallies, and the last pathetic broad¬cast of Siegfried’s funeral music from Got-terdammerung over Berlin radio, accom¬panying the announcement of Hitler’sdeath, all these stick in the mind althoughit is of course correct to argue thatWagner’s music was only a tool of the Naziregime; even so, the associations remain.Various tracts of social criticism writtenby Wagner further cloud the issue: werethese sincere expressions of his views, ormere opportunism?The reason all this remains so troublingis that Wagner is such an important and in¬fluential artist. Had a lesser artist, a hack, been used in the way Wagner was, hewould probably discarded and forgottenby now, like most Nazi “art”. But we can’tdiscard Wagner; despite the taint someperceive, despite his political and racialviews (whatever they really were), thefact remains that he was one of the mostimportant, perhaps the most important,musician and dramatist of the nineteenthcentury. No matter how we feel about him,he is always going to be around.Syberberg’s Parsifal, while primarily apresentation of Wagner’s valedictoryopera, is at the same time a commentaryon the Wagner myth. The public image ofWagner dominates the film — literally. Heis present constantly not only in the pro¬jected backdrops, but more than that, inall the film’s action, which takes place on,in, and around a giant re-creation ofWagner’s death mask. While others maywish to separate our often unpleasantideas about Wagner from the music itself,by banishing all reference to Wagner theman, only retaining Wagner the musician,his “pure” side, Syberberg’s continual vi¬sual manifestations of Wagner keepWagner the man, with all his troubling con¬tradictions, always present. We can neversay, “Forget about his personality, histheories, and most of all, forget about theNazis — that wasn’t his fault — just listento the music)” Syberberg does not allow usthat escape. He does not force us to acceptWagner; what he does is present the manand his work, and allows us to make upour own minds, much in the manner ofBrechtian epic theatre. The audience seesa faithful performance of Parsifal, whileat the same time being reminded aboutthe man who wrote it, a man about whomwe may have all sorts of preconceived no¬tions. As we watch the opera, seeing whatWagner actually created, we may havethose notions challenged. Wagner meetsBrecht. Perhaps this is an “aesthetic scan¬dal” on one level; on a deeper level, it issimply an encouragement of understand¬ing.An audience that thinks about andreacts to such a film is keeping its side ofthe bargain; for Syberberg to keep hisside, and to do justice to Wagner, he mustpresent an adequate performance of theopera. This he does. The action is straight¬forwardly and respectfully presented; ofcourse there are some jarring moments,some ideas that just don’t seem to work,most notably in the scene in which Parsifalis awakened to compassion. At this pivo¬tal moment, Syberberg has a differentactor (actually, an actress) step in and as¬sume the role of Parsifal for the rest of thefilm. I found this less than effective, evena bit confusing, although it is perfectly inkeeping with Syberberg’s use of Brech¬tian alienation techniques — the catharticmoment is undercut, and we are forced tothink, and not just feel. Various eccentrici¬ties abound, but for the most part, this is afaithful and perceptive realization of Par¬sifal.Syberberg has chosen to comprise hiscast mainly of screen actors, dubbing theirvoices with a distinguished cast of operasingers. The dubbing is remarkably con¬vincing, and judging from the film’s strongperformances, Syberberg made the rightcasting choices. There are two outstandingportrayals in this generally fine cast. Thefirst is by British bass Robert Lloyd, whoacts as well as sings the part of Gurne-manz, the knight of the Grail who becomesParsifal’s first spiritual mentor. Lloyd in¬vests the role with a profoundly warm andcompassionate sense of wisdom and hu¬manity; it is a subtle and varied perfor¬mance, and one is unlikely to encounteranything so fine in the opera house. Theother standout role is Kundry, insightfullysung by the Australian mezzo Yvonne Min¬ton, and acted by German screen starEdith Clever, veteran of many films, in¬cluding Werner Herzog’s Woyzeck, andEric Rohmer’s The Marquise of O. Clever’sKundry with haunted eyes is one of themost moving scree.n portrayals I haveever seen. She makes her pain, her rage,her temptation, and her ultimate redemp¬tion utterly and terribly convincing. She isamazing.The opera is conducted by Armin Jordan,leading the Monte Carlo Philharmonic, notthe most distinguished orchestra inEurope, but one that makes a fine impres¬sion here. Jordan’s interpretation of thescore is solid, if rather conventional. Therevelations here are not his; rather, theyare Syberberg’s, and Wagner’s. This is astriking and original work; not a typicalscreen adaptation, Parsifal is a film ofcompelling ideas and great beauty.'/ "* ® * f- \\ _ ^ ., ^ 5S . s*» * * -•- *'' * ^ AJ + V " * x ifJ* II " % « Wt = # // * % * * * „ \" « ^ 31 * \ " ii ^ ■r-V «*1 . # 1 , •t //. u * * * w* * II \\ * H _ 96—FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1984-THE GREY CITY JOURNAL"ONE OF THE YEARS 10 BEST."NATIONAL BOARD OF REVIEW • PAT COLLINS, CBS-TV• REX REED • JUDITH CRIST'"The Dresser' is one of the rare fine films of the year.

Instead, the issues which the filmpurported to discuss are overshadowedby the drawn-out saga of a woman'ssearch for identity. Neither the plot northe characters are sufficiently developedto render this movie anything but a trivialmelodrama.Jill Clayburgh portrays Hanna, theheroine of the story; she has emigrated toIsrael fleeing a constricting marriage withVictor (Jean Yannet). Hanna hopes to findherself and gain independence in the landof milk and honey. Originally, she ran offwith a poet while still married to herFrench husband. After the disintegrationof her affair, Hanna decides to obtain herlaw degree. On the road to lawyerdom shesleeps with Joshua (Gabriel Byrne), theprosecuting attorney, in a moment of lone¬liness.At the same time, she is coerced into de¬fending Selim, an alleged terrorist (Mu¬hammad Bakri) . against a panel of Israelimen who are unable to understand or ac¬cept the fact that a Palestinian can own apiece of Israeli land. Selim seems to hold asymbolic role. He stands for all persecutedPalestinians. However, he tries too hardto project the ideaJoshua is less believable as the arro¬gant attorney. Although he was intendedto depict the ‘macho’ Israeli, he presentshimself more as a social clod. When Hannawants to call Victor to get an “objective”view of her pregnancy Joshua threatensher by saying, “If you call him, you cannever call me again.” His words fall flatperhaps because Hanna does not believein him any more than he believes in him¬self. Victor plays a melancholy Frenchmanwho flies to Israel every time Hanna needssomeone to talk to. He is the most realisticcharacter in the film only because he re¬tains a wry sense of humor. Although he ishopelessly in love with Hanna, he knowsshe will never return to him.Hanna herself is thoroughly unconvinc¬ing as the intelligent lawyer. Rather, sherecalls the ‘ugly american’ blunderingfrom situation to situation unaware ofwhat she is trampling upon. When Hannadefends Selim in court, she is unable topresent her case without resorting tocliches and emotionalism. In addition, sheseems oblivious to the nature of the preju¬ dice which Palestinians face in contem¬porary Israeli society. She is supposedlydefending Selim because she believes he isinnocent. However, when she is told (by Jo¬shua) that she is politically naive, and thatthe return of Selim’s land will be detri¬mental to Israeli society, she allows herclient to be returned to jail.Here, Hanna K. touches on an importantpoint; the fear the older Israeli generationhas of the Palestinian people. These viewsare adequately parroted in the speech ofProfessor Leventhal (Shimon Finkel). te-venthal lectures Hanna at length on thehistory of the persecution of the Jews andappeals to her as one of the chosen people. When Hanna questions how a Jew can echothe persecution which was inflicted uponher people Leventhal answers, “If we letone (Palestinian) in, what's to stop all2,000.000?”This topic is quickly swallowed byHanna's trivial relationships with the menin her life. Why does Hanna K hedge theissue of Arab-lsraeli relations so persis-tantly? Perhaps because Costa-Gavras be¬lieves that the Arab-lsraeli conflict is“strictly a human drama”. In Hanna K.Costa-Gravas people detract from theissue of the film. Hanna is boring; what isinteresting is the conflict.In addition to the lack of developmentwithin the movie, many technical ques¬tions regarding the production of Hanna Kremain unanswered. Costa-Gavras hasmade a multi-lingual film m such a waythat it is unnecessarily confusing to the au¬dience. For example, why is Hanna K.filmed in English when it takes place inIsrael? Does the English represent He¬brew? If so, why do all the Israeli soldiersspeak with a Hebrew accent? Why is Ara¬bic subtitled? And finally, why does Victorspeak English with a French accent? Onecan only conclude that these are stylistictricks to add an exotic quality to themovie.Another confusing aspect is the frequenttime leaps with no explanation. For exam¬ple, we don’t know that it is Hanna’s babybeing circumcised until 15 or 20 minutesinto the scene.In the end Hanna K. is a film which light¬ly touches on important issues rather thanexplicating or answering many of theseimportant questions. Costa-Gavras wouldhave a better film in Hanna K. if he stuckto the political questions rather than in¬jecting uninteresting melodrama into a po¬tentially powerful story.

Lexiconof Love, ABC’s debut album was a bom¬bastic exploration of the commerciali¬zation of romance. Advertising slo¬gans, the fashion industry, the movies,and pop music itself provided the inspi¬ration for ABC's sly homage to commer¬cial exploitation, an homage calculatedto reveal the vapidity of the sloganswhich bombard the consumer.Beauty Stab, the current album fromABC, is problematic not only becausethe lyrics attempt to offer more thancliche, kbut be.caus.e the irresistiblesound and style of Lexicon of Love hasbeen transformed. While Lexicon ofLove was, not incidentally, a greatdance record, Beauty Stab lacks thesoulful beat, overbearing horns, or¬chestral accompaniments, and thunder¬ous Trevor Horn production. BeautyStab retains few traces of ABC's pre¬vious icy soul; rather, the reinvented ABC sounds like a heavy-metal muta¬tion of Roxy Music. However, such amutation is not all bad—songs like“Unzip” or "Bite the Hand” are ap¬pealingly bizarre, but, too often, thesongs of Beauty Stab either begin withpromise only to go nowhere—“ThePower of Persuasion”—or are simplyannoying and whiny —‘‘If I EverThought You’d Be Lonely.”Similarly, the lyrics of Beauty Stabare of mixed quality. While most of thelove songs on side one find ABC on fa¬miliar ground, much of side two is unex¬pectedly and self-consciously political.Surprisingly, it is these songs—particu¬larly ‘ Hey Citizen”—which are most ef¬fective, both for their verbal clevern¬ess andd for their very real anger. Theless potent love songs, while a notableattempt to puncture some of the roman¬tic mythology of Lexicon of Love are,for the most part, uninspired.Beauty Stab suffers primarily bycomparison with its illustrious prede¬cessor, Lexicon of Love. Listened to onits own terms, Beauty Stab is an albumof moderate successes and moderatefailures. Yet, ABC retains a place in mypop heart because, as a band, they em¬body the-idea expressed in the title ofEURYTHMICS/ABCi, • • * » >tr -f Low-Priced Previews February 18-22Ifw- X Sat/Tues/Wed 8:00 PM, Sun 7:30 PMXA j UC students only $3 with Student Rush!^ V(Rush tickets strictly subject to availability.

We obviously leave therealm of biology to answer this ques¬tion and appeal to philosophy andmorals, a tricky undertaking. As anevangelical Christian whose finalmoral authority is the Bible, I believehuman beings are purposefully createdin the image of God and that each life istherefore supremely valuable. Youmay not share this view, and I will notforce my beliefs on anyone.Just as it is helpful to understand myphilosophical viewpoint, perhaps it willbe helpful to understand the philosophybehind the current abortion law whichis espoused by many adherents of thepro-choice position. It can be summedup in one word: wantedness. I haveseen it on numerous placards andheard it on many lips, “Every child awanted child,” “Each child has theright to be wanted.” It is the operativeprinciple of our society regarding theunborn. If a woman wants her child,the law fully protects her and her in¬fant. If, for instance, a pregnantwoman is involved in a car accident with a drunk driver and miscarries,the driver will be charged and convict¬ed, other things being equal, of negli¬gent homocide. Yet if the same womandoes not want her child, she may abortit. Or take the doctor. If a pregnantwoman wants her child, the physi¬cian’s schooling has taught him to carefor two patients, doing all he can tokeep both healthy and alive. If she doesnot want the child, though, he may per¬form an abortion The examples arenumerous.I contend that the principle of wan¬tedness cannot serve to fortify and sus¬tain right morals. For example, it isprobable that, by this point in the ar¬ticle, I am decidedly unwanted bymany readers. Yet, I need not be over¬ly concerned because my personhoodis not in question since I live outside thewomb. I am protected from harmfulreprisal by the full force of the law. Forthe unborn it is not so. Regardless ofhow many people want the baby (therewere 1.5 million abortions last year,and approximately 1.6 million requestsfor adoption), if the mother does notwant him, he is a non-person.

In my view, it isboth logically absurd and morally re¬pugnant to determine the value of anyindividual’s life on the basis of some¬one else’s estimation of his usefulnessor desirability. If a child is not wantedby his mother, that tells us nothingabout the value of the child, but onlyabout the attitudes of the mother.Wantedness should not be the princi¬ple determinant of an individual’sworth. Are all of us wanted? Will we bewanted in 15 or 20 years? We may findourselves in the helpless position of theunborn. No, I cannot accept the princi¬ple of wantedness as a prerequisite tothe right to life. Why, instead, cannotthe right to life begin at the beginningof life and end at the end? The pro-choice groups will say that Idon’t understand what it’s like to bepregnant against my wishes, and theyare right. 1 do not. They will say as wellthat I care nothing for the mother, butthey are wrong. I do. Compassionatesolutions, however, are not necessarilythe easiest. Only once in history has thedeath of an innocent man truly workedto anyone’s benefit.

He wonderswhat difference it might possibly makethat two-thirds of the signatories to thepetition were male. After all, this ismerely reflective of the population ofthe University as a whole. (This samepoint is made by Chris Hodgkins, View¬point, 2/3/84.) He then declares thatreaders ‘can only conclude’ that I seekto ‘exclude fully two-thirds of the Uni¬versity Community from the discussionbefore it begins.’Is this the only conclusion one couldglean from my letter? Try another one.Members of a community that is com¬posed disproportionately of individualsof a given racial, sexual or class back¬ground ought to consider how such askewed demographicai make-up mightaffect their position on a public issue —especially when that issue bears dis-proprotionately on the rights and free¬doms of individuals of a different sortof background. What I recommend isnot silence but reflection. Mr. Whiteshould project his fears of authoritari¬anism elsewhere.As for Mr. W’hite’s zealous determi¬nation to defend the unborn, I think thathe has painted the picture too starkly.His examples of racial oppression andcommercial exploitation of the elderlymiss the mark. In so doing they distortthe issues raised by questions of abor¬tion rights and reproductive choicemore generally. As Mr. White implicit¬ly acknowledges (Chris Hodgkins doesso, too) in his discussion of the diver¬gent reasons why one might oppose thecourt’s decision, there are at least twoparties with salient moral claims in¬volved in abortion decisions — themother and the fetus. The petition pro¬testing the 1973 Supreme Court decisionon abortion which appeared in theMaroon and which Mr. White signedand defends systematically denigratesthe claim of one of those parties. AndMr. White compounds this by his use ofspecious examples. There are not twojustifiable positions in cases of racismor exploitation. Mr. White’s examplescontain a profound disanalogy and byignoring the asymmetry between re¬productive choice and racism/exploita¬tion he too readily and too cheaply as-Chicago CounselingTo the editor:Your recent article on depression(Feb. 7) mentioned places where stu¬dents might seek help.

Every one of them isproduced from a well-defined editorialperspective which determines thespace and weight to be given news in¬formation which it receives. This holdstrue for newspapers with liberal andconservative editorial viewpoints. Nonewspaper is totally exempt from thecharge that it tn varying <iegrpp<; signs guilt and innocence.Surprisingly, Mr. White, Chris Hodg¬kins and I agree that there are anumber of reasons why one might havesigned the petition. There is nothing inmy letter of objection to exclude thispossibility. In fact, any of the litany ofreasons suggested by either Mr. Whiteor Chris Hodgkins would fit into the twobroad categories that I outlined. Itseems that where I part company fromMr. White and Chris Hodgkins is in theimportance accorded to reasons and tothe underlying issues that they reflect.Mr. White resents being challenged toprovide reasons for a public stance thathe has adopted. And he fears that Iwould seek to impose some dread ho¬mogeneity upon the diversity of his pos¬sible reasons. But blanket statementssuch as that contained in the petitionwhich Mr. White signed seem designedto distort his deeply held personal rea¬sons. My complaint was and remainsthat the petition failed to clearly stateits aim and that as a consequence itwas just plain confusing. Not only didthe petition seek to represent a pleth¬ora of underlying convictions andrasons (thereby imposing the homoge¬neity Mr. White so fears) with one com¬mon position, but it did os poorly.Chris Hodgkins would no doubt pro¬test this characterization. The petitionwas intended merely as ‘a clear, con¬cise statement of a very importantcourt decision, and an equally clearstatement opposing that decision.Period.’ In my earlier letter I contestedthe clarity that Chris Hodgkins claims— the petition was muddled and its aimwas not clear, for reasons that I havegiven previously. But what is more, ifany of what Susan Rosenberg (View¬point 2/3/84) says is true, one person’sclear and concise may very well be an¬other’s distorted misinterpretation.Shrill declarations will do nothing toclear up such disagreements.Jim JohnsonGraduate StudentTo the editor;As a signer of the pro-life petition ap¬pearing on the back page of a previousMaroon, I would like to reply to some ofthe objections appearing in the Febru¬ary 3 Maroon.Marla Hughes accuses David Burkeof erring in carrying pro-choice argu-shapes the content, impact and form ofnews information it communicates toits audience. Not one. More over, allnewspapers sell advertising space,even solicit advertisers, and many seekand gladly welcome funding and advicefrom outside sources. News is big busi¬ness and hotly competitive; corporateefficiency often outweighs journalisticidealism.Therefore, while I do not share thetotal editorial position, as I understandit, of The Spectator, I think that callingit propaganda, much less “fascist,”and biased journalism simply becauseit receives funding from “conserva¬tive” sources or has an admitted “con¬servative” editorial position is to ig¬nore the fundamental parameters ofmodern newspaper production. Weneed the insights of all viewpoints andall the facts attendant to a news storyin order to form an intelligent responseabout its meaning to our lives.W. MarshGraduate studentHelp for the prostateTo the editor:It’s comforting to know that, perhapsafter lingering too long at Jimmy’ssome night, if I should fall and lie pros¬trate in the gutter, help is on the way.— “Prostate (sic) screening,” Maroon,2/7/84, p.4.However, why call Dr. Chodak? He’sa urologist and would be more con¬cerned about my prostate than myprostrate position.Any passerby could get me up on myfeet and start me on my way by admin¬istering a good strong cup of black cof¬fee.In such a situation I wouldn’t wantany good Samaritan, even a urologist,to monkey with my prostate.LeRoy Lahman ments to logical extremes . Yet Ms.Hughes proceeds to do the same whenshe insists that the pro-life stand im¬plies totalitarian government controlover the lives of pregnant women. Shewas correct in pointing out this appar¬ent flaw in the pro-life stance, just asDavid Burke was correct in pointingout that the usual pro-choice argu¬ments carried to their conclusions canbe used to justify infanticide. Both ofthese objections must be answered ifthe theories giving rise to them are notto stand discredited.Catherine Gillis and others in thesame issue wrote that outlawing abor¬tion will not stop women from havingthem, and that furthermore, these ille¬gal abortions will be much more dan¬gerous to the mother than are the cur¬rent legal abortions. This is perfectlytrue. Murder, rape, and theft are ille¬gal, yet they still continue. Further¬more, this illegality makes thesecrimes more dangerous for those whocommit them. Yet few- would construethis as an argument for the legalizationof these crimes. The opposition to abor¬tion on demand as it is currently avail¬able in the United States stems fromthe conviction that it is a terrible injus¬tice to at least some of the millionskilled every year in this manner. Wemust not let the dangers to those whochoose to persevere in this injusticedampen our resolve to see this evil re¬moved from our midst.John E. KolassaThird-year studentin the CollegeTo the editor:Noting that “...abortion is a complexsocial problem...”, the U of C Pro-LifeAssociation has announced six discus¬sion sessions to be held under its aegisin the next two weeks. While these ses¬sions address a variety of issues, noneof them (judging by the titles) is con¬cerned with contraception or sex edu¬cation.Contraception is at the very heart ofthe abortion problem. Almost all teen¬age pregnancies occur simply becauseof ignorance about contraceptivemethods and sexuality in general. Stu¬dies have repeatedly shown that teen¬agers who receive comprehensive sexeducation have a far lower rate ofpregnancy (and therefore of abortion)than their untaught peers. In fact, sucheducation seems to lead to a height¬ened sense of responsibility, for theeducated group, on the average, firsthas sexual intercourse about a yearlater than those left to gather informa¬tion at home or on the street. Anyschool counselor can tell dozens ofstories about girls and boys who foundout too late that one can indeed getpregnant “the first time,” “if you don’thave an orgasm,” “if he pulls out,”etc.Adults need better information, too.Many women can count on receiving nocontraception information except be¬fore and after an abortion. Funds forPlanned Parenthood, etc. are shrink¬ing, and many people are not evenaware of contraception's possibilities,of the existence of counseling, or of themost basic facts about their bodies.This year, we are congratulatingourselves that the Soviet Union andChina resemble Orwell’s vision of 1984far more than does our society. But thepresent administration has proposed afederally funded program to promotechastity, and has repeatedly shown it¬self hostile to sex education and contra¬ception for teens (viz. the “squealrule” fiasco). Shades of the JuniorAnti-Sex League on Airstripe One!.War is not yet peace, nor has love be¬come hate. But the University mustlead the battle against the widely heldposition that ignorance is strength.Roger L. LustigHumanities DivisionTo the editor:The central arguments in the abor¬tion debate appear to be, on the Pro-choice side, that a woman has the rightto do what she wants to with her ownbody and, on the Pro-life side, that an¬other person is involved who is entitledto the right of life. Being a woman, I can understand thedesire to have control over my ownbody. More importantly, however, I un¬derstand the awesome responsibilitythat has been given to me — that ofbringing new life into the world. I re¬gard this as a privilege. Some womendo not. But whether it is a privilege or aburden, it is, nevertheless, a responsi¬bility, the responsibility for anotherhuman life, a tiny, helpless, but veryreal innocent human life. From concep¬tion to birth this person (yes, I am call¬ing “it” a person) is dependent on awoman and her body for life, and thewoman has an incredible responsibilityfor that life. It is a responsibility whichevery woman implicitly accepts whenshe engages in sexual intercourse.I signed the petition opposing the 1973Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decisionbecause it legalizes the taking of inno¬cent human life. I believe that life doesbegin at conception. There are manywho disagree with me, but unless theycan prove beyond a shadow of a doubtthat it does not, they are running therisk, in any abortion of committingmurder. And how can anyone deter¬mine that the addition of a certain cellor even a certain system makes thefetus a person? Many difficult ques¬tions are raised in this debate: abor¬tions are sometimes necessary to pre¬serve the mother’s life; rapesometimes results in pregnancy; andthere are many differing opinions as towhen life actually does begin. All thatis addressed by either of the two recentpetitions, however, is the 1973 SupremeCourt decision which makes abortionslegal until the time of birth. Not only-does this violate the unborn person’sright to life, it also does a great disser¬vice to women by trivializing the enor¬mous responsibility of childbearing, aresponsibility that is much too impor¬tant to all human life to be taken light¬ly. Under the 1973 decision there areabortions performed, however infre¬quently, after the point of viability. Achild born in the seventh or eighthmonth and then killed is considered avictim of murder, yet the same child,while still in the womb, can be killedwith the sanction of the SupremeCourt,Lisa WhitneyStudent in the CollegeTo the editor:I am against abortion. A fetus is inthe process of becoming a child andtherefore is very precious. Of course awoman's body is also infinitely pre¬cious, but the wondrous thing is thatthese two precious things don’t con¬flict. they complement. The femalebody nurtures and then births thefetus.Ah, but this seems simplistic, theproblem is obviously not the femalebody, but the female right to do whatshe pleases w-ith her own body. Seen inthis light the whole thing is a questionof women’s rights. But the fetusesbeing killed aren’t all of one sex, theyare male and female — this makes thewhole issue a human issue, a humanproblem. The rights in question are notexclusively female.Legalized abortion is a modern prob¬lem and therefore I'd like to quote oneof the 20th century's greatest poets:xaugni in me lorm oi limiia-tionBetween un-being and being.Sudden in a shaft of sunlightEven while the dust movesThen rises the hidden laughterOf children in the foliageQuick now. here, now, always-”-T.S. Eliot, 4 QuartetsAbortion is a human problem andtherefore a very old problem, so I’dlike to include a quotation by an an¬cient poet:“Speak up for those who cannotspeak for themselves, for therights of all who are destitute”-Proverbs, the BibleAbortion acts on misconceptions, solet us think once more which miscon¬ceptions should be aborted: those thatare waves of popular thought that con¬done killing or those that are flesh andblood an . bone.Ellvn StreedThe Chicago Maroon—Friday, February 17 1*84—13MAROON9629555 /*«-. *HS Mickey Mantle says. . .CREDIT FOR'm' STUDENTSoo VISA® and MasterCard® Credit Cards Now Availableto Students through nmE5flVER‘’s BankActlon ProgramlNo Minimum Income or Job RequirementsSavings account and fees required.

February 17, 1984—15SPOtTSKey trip for men and womenB-ball to WisconsinBy Frank LubyThe important weekend has finallyarrived, as the University of Chicagomen’s and women’s varsity basketballteams travel to St. Norbert College fora doubleheader this evening.Chicago, currently in third place inthe Men’s North Division of the Mid¬west Conference, trails Beloit and St.Norbert. which leads with only one losson the year.It’s still a wide open race.” said St.Norbert head coach Mike Heidemann,though his Green Knights narrowedthat wide openness Wednesday nightwith a 89-51 destruction of the rapidly-sagging Ripon Redmen. Ripon led theNick Meriggioli (44) will play an importantnight, and stopping Norbert’s Joe Emmerich ‘‘I expect a low scoring game, withgood defense,” said Heidemann, whoseclub uses a physical man-to-man de¬fense. ‘‘They keep their hands on youall the time,” said Angelus.Chicago may open in a zone, said An¬gelus, though he won’t commit himself.“We usually play man-to-man, but wemight use multiple defenses againstthem,” said Angelus. “We’ll get a lookat both of their offenses, and makemore intelligent decisions when we’redown here.”Angelus said that the Green Knightspress as well, but the press differsfrom the type that Lake Forest plays.Again, they tend to play their hands onthe body a lot, and overplay.role in handling the St. Norbert press to-conference until the halfway point ofthe season, when it began to facetougher opposition from the strongerNorth Division teams. Chicago edgedRipon, 63-62, Saturday.“The biggest thing that’s overlookedabout St. Norbert,” said Maroon headcoach John Angelus, “is their quick¬ness. They go to the hole well. They’retough.”Leading the offense for the GreenKnights is forward-guard Joe Em¬merich, who ranks in the top five inscoring and rebounding in the confer¬ence and stands sixth in assists with 3.3per game. His physical style of play be¬comes evident when one realizes thatthe 6-3, 200 pounder has made moretrips to the foul line (63) than any otherplayer in the conference.Backing up Emmerich in the scoringcolumn, Mark W'eninger and JohnMaccoux average 11 and 10 points pergame as well. “We’ll learn a lot,” said Angelus.“We’ll try a few more things to see howthey handle them.”The Maroons also face Lawrence onSaturday. Though they blew Lawrenceoff the floor earlier in the year, and theVikings lie buried in the North Divisioncellar, Chicago may still have toworry. Beloit barely edgeckthe Vikingslast Tuesday, giving the slumping Buc¬caneers three consecutive closegames. Beloit lost to Chicago, 55-53,and to St. Norbert in double overtime,73-72, on Saturday.“We want to beat Lawrence too,”said Angelus, apparently hoping thatthe team doesn’t set all of its sights onSt. Norbert.Leading Lawrence’s resurgence intothe role of spoiler (they knocked offLake Forest recently, dropping themto fourth) is forward Howard Cohn.The perimeter shooter burst into thetop five in conference scoring over theSports CalendarMen’s Basketball — Friday, February 17, at St. Norbert College, 7:30 p.m.,and Saturday, February 18, at Lawrence University, 3 p.m.Women’s Basketball - Friday, February 17, at St. Norbert College, 5:30 p.m.,and Saturday, February 18, at Lawrence University, 5 p.m.Men’s and Women’s Swimming — Saturday, February 18, against Ripon andBeloit College, away, 1 p.m.Tri-State Table Tennis Championships, February 16-18, University of Wiscon¬sin at Whitewater, sponsored by ACU-I. weekend, after hanging outside the topten for most of the season.The Maroons, after this Wisconsinswing, will round out the season onWednesday against St. Norbert again,at the Henry Crown Field House.* * *The women’s basketball team, stillundefeated in the conference, faces itstoughest conference opponent, St. Nor¬bert, again in Green Bay. The Maroonscame from behind on the pressureshooting of Gretchen Gates and HelenStraus to nip the Green Knights at theField House in January, 68-67, but play¬ing in St. Norbert means something to¬tally different, according to some otherconference coaches.“I don’t know why they think that,”remarked Maroon head coach DiannNestel, about the opinion that theMaroons’ win over St. Norbert was afluke. “Maybe they know somethingwe don’t know.”Amy Proctor provides a lot of thefirepower in the Green Knights of¬fense, and should Nestel open in aplayer-to-player defense, 5-5 Maroonguard Beverly Davis may end upguarding the 5-10 Proctor again. Thatmismatch gave St. Norbert an advan¬tage early in the first meeting betweenthe two teams, and may enter the pic¬ture again.Another factor, intensity could spellthe difference if the game remainsclose into the final minutes. After thefirst game, Nestel remarked “that’sthe most intense I’ve seen her allyear,” referring to Gates’ inspiredplay in the game’s final ten minutes.Should Chicago win tonight, theyhave two remaining games — againstBeloit, and Lawrence, teams they beatby a combined margin of 143-51 so farthis season. So one may rest assuredthat St. Norbert is all that remains be¬tween an undefeated conference sea¬son and a possible NCAA bid for theMaroons.The eventual winner in the North Di¬vision will probably host Cornell Col¬lege, which defeated Coe for the secondtime this year to put a lock, virtually,on the South Division crown. Thatoverall conference title game is sche¬duled for Feb. 25.Karate startsBy Mark SchillerDespite the loss of some keymembers, the Karate Club has man¬aged to start off another fine season.In November in the AAKF Invitation¬al at the University of Wisconsin at Ma¬dison Ken Ginsburg performed solidlyto place third in the Men’s Brown BeltKumite (sparring). Eddie Sanders alsoplaced third in the Men’s Nidan & Up(Advanced Black Belt) Kumite.At the Regionals Feb. 4 at Nilesevery member who participated cameaway with a medal. The Women’s Ku¬mite Team consisting of yellow beltMartha Phillips, green belt DianaSchaub, and black belt Kristina Marcyfaced more experienced teams butmanaged to take third. The Men’s Ku¬mite Team of purple belt BradSchmidt, purple belt Chun Ku Mui andbrown belt Ken Ginsburg also beatsome tough teams to capture secondplace.Eddie Sanders bettered his previousresults to take second in the Men’sNidan & Up Kumite. Topping off theday, Kristina March put it all togetherto beat some very tough opponents andtake first place in the Women’s BlackBelt Kumite. Track winsBy Frank LubyFreshman Romnee Clark earnedfirst place in the long jump and the 60-yard dash, and second in the 300meters, to lead the University of Chi¬cago women’s track team to first placein the Women’s Open Track Meet atHenry Crown Field House Wednes¬day.Chicago’s closest competition in the10-team field came from Southeast Mi¬chigan with 80 points and Loyola with79. The Maroons amassed 101y2points.Clark’s time of 7.5 seconds in the 60edged Chicago’s Natalie Williams by atenth of a second, but Williams cameback to defeat Clark later by a half-sec¬ond in the 300, as the pair finished firstand second.The freshman sprinter also posted ajump of 17-5 in the long jump. “Shehasn’t been jumping, so it was a sur¬prise,” said Maroon assistant coachWendy Sood.The 1600 meter relay team of Wil¬liams, Clark, Sara Dell, and IngridBuntschuh captured first also, with atime of 4:26.7.Two Maroons came through withsecond place finishes. Renewing a re¬match from the Chicagoland Invita¬tional of two weeks ago, Loyola’s Si¬mone McKenzie and Chicago’s MariaDel Favero went head-to-head in theshot put. McKenzie outthrew Del Fa¬vero by only eight inches, as theMaroon freshman continues her ap¬proach of the school record of 34-9.Jacki Moline took fourth for Chicago.In the Chicagoland meet, McKenziehad outdistanced Del Favero by closeto four feet.Sophomore Lisa Peterson turned in a65.1 second performance in the 400 m,good enough for second place, whileBuntschuh took fifth with a 67.6 clock¬ing.In the 60-yard hurdles, freshmanMyra La Venue (who also took fifth inthe 300), finished third, just ahead ofChicago runner Tracy Button. Buttonalso finished fourth in the 800, behindDell.Rachel Vinkey ran to a fifth placefinish in the 1500 meters, with a time of5:16.2. She also received credit forsixth in the 3000 meters, but a mix-upoccurred at the finish line.“Apparently the judges thought shewas one lap short,” said Sood.“The meet overall went really well,”Sood added. “A few people had timesthat we and they had expected they’drun, so we did really well.”The team faces University of Wis¬consin (Whitewater) on Tuesday in adual meet, before entering the confer¬ence championships on March 2 at theField House.Softball jog-a-thonThe University of Chicago women’ssoftball team is holding a Jog-a-thonFeb. 29, in an attempt to raise moneyfor a spring trip.The team asks groups or organiza¬tions to support the effort by contribut¬ing directly, or sponsoring a player.The players will run from 7 p.m. to 8p.m., completing as many laps as poss¬ible on the HCFH track, and sponsorswould pay per lap completed.Anyone interested in sponsoring aplayer or contributing should contactcoach Cheryl Kennedy at 962-9556.The Third String —St. Norbert overconfident?At the end of our conversation Wednesday after¬noon, St. Norbert head basketball coach Mike Heide¬mann calmly remarked, “We always play ourgame.” Granted his team has a right to feel confi¬dent about its lead (two games on Beloit, three onChicago and Lake Forest) in its first-ever sweep as aMidwest Conference member, but it may seem likethe Green Knights have taken the Maroons some¬what lightly.Chicago head coach John Angelus knows what toexpect from the physical Green Knights, who rely onforward-guard Joe Emmerich, their hands-on man-to-man defense, and their press. Ripon, a team Chi¬cago only beat by one point Saturday, apparentlycouldn’t stop any of those three things, as they lostby 38 points Wednesday night to St. Norbert.One must remember that the Maroons tend to playdown to their opponent’s level, as Coe College coachDan Breitbach noticed earlier this vear when the Maroons barely edged the Cohawks at the FieldHouse.“Chicago played down to our level tonight,” hesaid, after stating that his team couldn’t get any¬thing going offensively or defensively “and it had aneffect on them (the Maroons).”Out of Chicago’s recent swing through the confer¬ence, the Maroons have lost only to Knox in its lasteight games, and Knox has lingered below .500 allseason.The converse is also true, though, as the Maroonshave played up to the ability of apparently strongeropponents at least twice this year. Favored as a hugewinner of the Maroons, powerhouse Rollins Collegefell by the wayside on the Maroons’ Florida trip, andrecently the Maroons helped knock Beloit out ofmajor conference contention with a startling 55-53victory.We’ll have to see if the Maroons can work their magic again.*****Heidemann said that if the home court will serve tohis team’s advantage, it will be because “of travel,and the fact that Chicago has never played here be¬fore.” But at least one Maroon player feels that theexpected large crowd, no matter how partisan, willnot hinder the Maroons.“A lot of us are used to playing in front of largecrowds. Keith (Libert), Dave (Witt) and Rob (Omie-cinski) all played to big crowds in high school. JohnFroschauer went to high school in an area wherethree high schools shared one gym, and they hadthousands of people,” he said. Forward Tom Red-burg, from Tacoma, Washington, played to sold-outcrowds consistently in high school, and played tolarger ones in the state tournament.So the big crowd may help Chicago in its upset ef¬fort; it certainly won’t hurt. FL16—The Chicago Maroon—Friday, February 17, 1984— Maroon Scoreboard —Box Scores-BasketballMen’s Women’sYou could definitely say the Chicagomen’s basketball team is on a roll.Since losing to Lake Forest on Jan. 12by a 63-59 score, the Maroons have puttogether seven victories in their lasteight tries and moved into contentionfor the conference crown. The lone lossin that streak was an 81-79 upset at thehands of Southern Division also-ranKnox College.That loss, however, was extremelycostly in terms of the Northern Divi¬sion standings, as it represented Chica¬go’s fourth defeat, and left them withthe dreaded “mathematical chance”for the crown. St. Norbert, the divisionleader, has three games left to playand must lose all three in order tosquander the two-game lead they pre¬sently maintain over Beloit, and three-game lead over Chicago and LakeForest. But Chicago does control partof its own destiny, since two of theGreen Knights’ final three contests areagainst the Maroons, including to¬night’s game in Green Bay.St. Norbert coach Mike Heidemanndescribed his team’s 73-72 double over¬time triumph at Beloit as an “intensegame.” The contest featured 18 leadchanges, and neither side ever led bymore than three points. It was a criti¬cal loss for Beloit, which fell twogames behind the Knights, and do notplay them again this year.Tonight’s St. Norbert-Chicago con¬test will give Heidemann’s squad achance to clinch at least a tie for theconference title, and the GreenKnight’s coach noted that his team hasone small advantage. This will markthe first time that Chicago has playedat St. Norbert, which Heidemann feelswill play a minor role in tonight’sgame.-MBS Chicago 63, Ripon 62Chicago (63): Omiecinski 6-1-13, Clif¬ford 0-4-4, Caeser 0-0-0, Froschauer1-4-6, Redburg 4-2-10, Meriggioli 2-2-6,Libert 5-1-11, Lepp 0-0-0, Witt 6-1-13.Totals: 24-15-63.Ripon (62): Tharp 3-3-9, Reader7-4-18, Soule 3-0-6, Glodowski 5-2-12,Leonard 4-0-8, Zarnott 3-3-9, Adams0-0-0.

Chicago won thefirst contest, 68-67, at Henry Crown,and that’s all that separates the twoteams in the standings. Chicago leadsthe Northern Division with a 7-0 mark,while the Green Knights are half agame back at 7-1.Despite the Maroons’ earliertriumph over St. Norbert, mostcoaches haven’t given Chicago much ofa chance of repeating that feat. In post¬game interview's with Maroon reporterGeoff Sherry, a number of coacheshave attributed the earlier win to St.Norbert’s “being caught off guard.”Most coaches have tabbed the GreenBay squad as definite favorites in to¬night’s match-up, though a win by Chi¬cago would all but assure the women ofa conference championship.* * *Chicago 62, Ripon 51Chicago (62): Walsh 4-3-11, Dugan1-0-2, Van Steenlandt 3-0-6, Pietrzak2-2-6, Howd 1-5-7, Straus 0-4-4, Gates12-0-24, Detloff 1-0-2.
