-■— 1" ~The Chicago MaroonVolume 93, No. ,;8 The University of Chicago Copyright 198' The Chicago Maroon February 24 j9K4Media’s effects debatedBy Michael ElliottThe Chicago Round Tablemet Tuesday night in SwiftLecture Hall to discuss in¬teraction of “Media and Poli¬tics.”Talk centered mainlyaround the changes in themedia during the past 200years and its effects on poli¬tics, as well as how politicalchanges affected the media.Modeled on the ChicagoRound Table radio programsof the 1930’s, which featured Uof C faculty discussing press¬ing issues of the day over na¬tionwide broadcasts, the Stu¬dent Government-sponsoredRound Table was moderatedby Robert Richards, directorof the HiPSS program and pro¬fessor of history and behavior¬al science, and included panel¬ists John Callaway, director ofthe William Benton Fellowshipprogram for journalists and correspondent for WFMT inChicago; Geoffrey Stone, pro¬fessor in the Law School; Nor¬man Nie, political science pro¬fessor and research associatefor the National Opinion Re¬search Center; and MaryEllen Guest, political consul¬tant for the John Glenn cam¬paign.Speaking about the increas¬ing centralization of informa¬tion, Stone said, “When theFirst Amendment was adopt¬ed, freedom of the press wasseen as an adjunct to freedomof speech. The image of thepress was that of a small enter¬prise — usually fly-by-nightnewspapers and pamphleteers— that advocated a particularideology.” Printing presseswere relatively inexpensive,certainly within the budgets ofmiddle-class or upper-middle-class citizens of the day. Now,however, unless you are Ru¬pert Murdoch or Ted Turner, it is virtually impossible to ac¬quire a significant transmitti¬ng medium. “Most informa¬tion is controlled by a smallnumber of newspaper consor¬tiums and TV networks,” saidStone, who questioned whethera free press could continue“now that power is located inso few hands.”On the other hand, Nie didnot see a centralized future forthe media, but an increasingly-fragmented one. He said, “Fu¬ture cable technology could re-continued on page seven Round Table Discussion PHOTO BY ARTHUR U. ELLISSpokesmen find 1C saferSeith talks on ForumBy Cliff GrammichAlex Seith said yesterday hewould improve his vote-draw¬ing ability in Hyde Park andsurrounding communitiesagainst Charles Percy, shouldhe face the incumbent Senatorthis fall in a rematch of their1978 battle. Seith faces threeopponents in the March 20Democratic primary: StateComptroller Roland Burris,Philip Rock, State SenatePresident, and US Rep. PaulSimon (D-22).In the 1978 general electionagainst Percy, Seith took 56.4percent of the vote in the 3rd,4th, 5th, and 20th wards, whichinclude or surround HydePark. Since 1970, Democraticcandidates who have won Sen¬ate contests have won thesame area with at leat 92 per¬cent of the vote.“The lower vote I got in 1978was due to a freak of circum¬stances,” Seith said. “My poli¬cies were misrepresented andit cost me some votes.” Seithnow believes he has a “broadbase of support in the blackcommunity,” and he will ben¬efit from Percy’s current alli¬ance with President RonaldReagan.“Percy has been the mostloyal supporter of Reagano¬mics,” Seith said. “In 1978, hewas able to portray himself asa moderate friend of blacks.I’ll remind voters here thatPercy is now Reagan’s friend,and hence is no friend oftheirs.”Seith’s remarks came dur¬ ing yesterday’s “South SideForum” on WHPK-FM. Seithaddressed a variety of issuesduring the show, including in¬dexing, the federal budget, andLatin American relations.Seith has favored a “take-home pay protector plan,”which he says is basically in.-continued on page sevenAlex Seith By Victor KingCommunity, campus, andstate spokesmen all agree thatthe Illinois Central railroadstations are safer today than afew years ago.The Feb. 4 rape of a womanwaiting for a train at the 59thSt. IC station raised somedoubts about the safety. As re¬ported in the Feb. 14 Maroon,Chicago police arrested a sus¬pect a week after the crime.Another rape occurred at thesame station on August 29.That case remains unsolved.According to the Police Blot¬ter of the Hyde Park Herald,three additional crimes tookplace at IC stations near theUniversity since the beginningof 1983. Armed robberies oc¬curred in January and July oflast year, and someone at¬tempted an armed robberylast March.South East Chicago Commis¬sion Law Enforcement Coor¬dinator Robert Mason com¬mented, “That is not a largenumber of crimes. To be real¬istic, those things do happen,and it happens all over thecity, as you can tell from read¬ing the newspapers.”Mason said, “We have hadvery few incidents over thepast years, especially lastyear.”Chicago Police 21st PrecinctOfficer Robert Small stressed,“Officers make inspections ofthe platform and U of C securi¬ty people do as well. Our mendo it on an hourly basis asother duties permit it.” University Security representative David O’Leary re¬called “The stations used to beatrocious. But they’ve greatlyincreased the security.”Illinois Central made aseries of improvements after acrime spree in late 1979 andearly 1980, when three rapestook place in a matter of weekson the same 59th St. IC plat¬form. They replaced the old,enclosed warming houses withopen, translucent shelters. Inaddition, the state agency in¬ creased lighting and trimmedbushes to make any activity onthe platform more visible.The state agency consultedUniversity Security whilemaking these changes. Both ICand the University agree thatthe two organizations have aclose, mutually beneficial rela¬tionship. O’Leary said “Wehave been for a number ofyears taking calls, escortingpeople onto their platform.”continued on page sevenBilling causes griefBy Ellyn StreedThere has been concernamong students over the secu¬rity ol the mail room systemthak the College installed thisacademic year.Acting on this concern, Stu¬dent Government came upwith a resolution shortly afterthe distribution of tuition billsfor winter quarter StudentGovernment has resolved thatstudents who w ant to obtain ei¬ther their bills or their gradesdirectly through the office oftheir origin can do so, if theyrequest this in writing.This resolution was agreedupon by the Dean’s office butnot immediately acted upon,and spring quarter bills wereagain put in the mail folders.Autumn quarter grades werealso distributed via the mailroom, but only with the presen¬tation of a student ID.The Associate Dean of theCollege Richard Taub seemed a little amused over the mailroom concerns. He doesn’t seethe Reynolds Club basementmail room as such a dangerousplace. The idea that studentswould snoop through theirpeers’ folders for informationon GPA’s or financial aidseems to him largely hypothet¬ical and just a series of “whatif’s.” It is a “vision of our stu¬dents I just don’t have,” saidTaub.Taub explained that the mailroom was installed “to fostergreater feelings of communi¬ty,” “build up Reynolds Clubas a place where studentscome together.” and “to en¬courage free and easy com¬munication.” Taub also point¬ed out that getting studentsinformation via US mail isn’t afaultless method either sincestudents often move around alot and are hard to trackdown.Films groups add diversity, entertainmentThe following article con¬cludes the series on campusfilm groups, covering thesecond and third parts onLaw School and Interna¬tional House films. By Edward HernstadtNot even at the University ofChicago can one study all ofthe time, and while the campusis no hotbed of sybaritic dis¬tractions, there are a numberof cinematic options. DOC,Law School Films, and the In¬ternational House Film Soci¬ety all provide quality movies.These films, though, are of no-ticably different genres,though, so the burned-out stu¬dent seeking sanctuary can’tjust relax before the screen,but first must choose one. Butproblems are eased by theprospect of a gorgeous GreerGarson telling impeccable butprideful Laurence Olivier thatshe wouldn’t think of marryinghim in Pride and Prejudice, orof a naked Alan Bates closingthe door of the madhouse be¬hind him in The King ofHearts. Both Law SchoolFilms and International Houseprovide valuable services, ofcourse, but their intentions, the focus of each organization,is not the same.LSF is an organizationwhere the bottom line is enter¬tainment. Pat Finegan, thegroup’s former publicity direc¬tor, said, “We see LSF as asource of diversions for our¬selves and the community. W’edon’t show a lot of tear jerkers— you could say that Camillewas this quarter’s token one —or noir films, but concentrateon comedies, adventure films(Bogies) and Romances.”LSF was formed about eightyears ago, when then studentJim Lindgren decided to closea perceived gap in availablecampus films. DOC, by thisperception, showed mostlymodern or obscure films, andthe old International Houseshowings were almost exclusi¬vely European. “From its con¬ception,” Chairman AngeloGrima said, “the idea was toshow American film's from the30s, 40s and 50s. We were try¬ ing to round out the film offer¬ings, to fill the lacuna thatLindgren saw.”From its creation. LSF hasbeen economically indepen¬dent. They pay their entireoverhead — auditorium rentaland improvement, film rental,equipment maintenance andreplacement, and publicity —out of the ticket and advertis¬ing revenues. That their mov¬ies are so saleable guaranteessome profit, but as Finegan ex¬plained. the publicity costs arevery high. “Our calendars costabout 20 cents each, and werun off 4000 of them in the fall— less the other two quarters— and the film notes cost$150-200 a week.” The distinc¬tive oversized glossy posters —LSF got the U of C to change itsposter-size rule in order tosave money on cutting the11x17 standard sheets down toregular size — cost about $50 afilm.continued on page seven(T.,...: The :MAROONEXPRESSRide the Maroon Express this weekend...... visit the Fine Arts Theatre and catch Albert Finney’s latest “TheDresser”—make a long night of it and see “El Norte,” and“Android" also—get off at the Art Institute... see John Glenn in "The Right Stuff” showing at the Carnegie onRush—get off at Water Tower... do some window shopping—just get out and walk around—see thelights—that's city stuff!Tickets may be purchased with a U of C studentID at the Ida Noyes Information desk, ReynoldsClub Box Office, or any Residence Hall Frontdesk.

The 14 purloined bills were placed in a man-ila envelope and delivered to the Maroon with an anonymous letter.Points made in the letter are as follows:• Notification that bills would be placed in mail room folders was insufficient:the Spring Quarter Time Schedule states that bills are sent to local addressesprovided by students at the time of registration.• Security within the mailroom is obviously inadequate, “as illustrated by theease with which these 14 bills were removed.”• The lack of security is not the fault of student employees in the mailroom,but “is due to the entire setup of the room.”• Since many students are unaware that bills are distributed through themailroom, some will not meet important payment deadlines and will be as¬sessed a $50 fee for late payment.We acknowledge these concerns as legitimate.We deplore the means employed as unnecessary, irresponsible and utterly atodds with behavior normally attributed to “concerned students.”“The mailroom is a good idea,” the letter states, “for many of the all-campusmailings that go out to students on a regular basis, but this should not includeany important or immediate communications concerning financial or academicmatters.”That sounds reasonable; we might even agree.However, and you can quote us, petitioning to the proper authorities aboutrelevant issues ‘is a good idea,’ but this should not include theft, theatrics orquasi-terrorism.The concerned students who removed the tuition bills should also be con¬cerned about the week-long period during which 14 students were deprived ofpersonal mailings containing confidential financial information. Tamperingwith mail, we must point out, is taken seriously enough in this country to carry apenalty of imprisonment.That those who perpetrated this display “deeply apologize” to those whoserights they violated is, frankly and finally, not good enough.Illllf:- 1 v I It LETTERS IHMWHHHHiA careful balance of mothers' and society’s interestsTo the editor:One reason for the controversy andconfusion over abortion is that theabortion question is really two ques¬tions: “Is abortion immoral?” and“Should abortion be illegal?”Right-to-life groups go to greatlengths to convince us that the answerto the first question is “yes,” but it ishard to see why they bother, since noone really disagrees with them. Eventhe most adamant freedom-of-choiceadvocates claim only that there are sit¬uations in which abortion is the lesserevil.But the answer to the second questiondoes not necessarily follow from thefirst. Not everything that is immoral(or widely believed to be immoral)should be illegal. A good example ofthis is adultery. Virtually everyoneagrees that adultery is immoral, yet Irarely hear anyone claim that it oughtto be made illegal. Immoral or not,adultery is none of the government’sbusiness.But if immorality is not reasonenough to make a thing illegal, what is?If a government does not exist to pro¬mote and enforce morality, what is itsupposed to be doing? I would like topropose an answer which is as simpleand down-to-earth as it is unoriginal: agovernment exists to promote the in¬terests and well-being of its citizens.This is the basis on which laws and pro¬posed changes in laws should bejudged.Most of society’s basic laws — thoseconcerning murder and theft, for in¬stance — are justified fairly quickly bythis standard. Other desirable laws —like those protecting the life and prop¬erty of foreigners — recommend them¬selves after a little reflection. (Protect¬ing foreigners is the best way ofinsuring that foreign governments willprotect our citizens overseas .)In this light, all the discussion of afetus’ heartbeat, brain activity and ca¬pacity for pain drop away as irrele¬ vant. The question is not whether afetus is human (what else could it be?),but whether a fetus is a citizen. This isthe issue that the various formulationsof the Human Life Amendment ad¬dress. In the absence of such an amend¬ment, a fetus is not a citizen of the Unit¬ed States.At this point the moral rights of thefetus also drop out of the argument.They were crucial when the discussionwas about the morality of abortion, butwhen we are discussing whether or notthe government should intervene tostop abortions, they are irrelevant. Thegovernment should look after the inter¬ests of its citizens.It is here that most freedom-of-choice advocates make their mistake(and lose a huge number of argumentsin the process). It is tempting to finishoff the analysis quickly by saying:“The pregnant woman is the only citi¬zen with an interest in the situation.The government should recognize herright to control what goes on inside herbody and allow her complete freedomof abortion.”This leads to a number of stomach¬turning consequences. Not only does itjustify third trimester, up-to-the-moment-of-birth abortions, but similarlogic implies that the governmentwould do well to change the law to saythat babies born after tomorrow willnot become citizens until the age offive, or even later. This would not dis¬enfranchise any of the current citizens,and would give us the advantage ofbeing able to rub out any infants orsmall children that we might find trou¬blesome. This may be unappealing, butthose who put forward the last argu¬ment will be hard pressed to refute thisone.What is wrong with the logic is thatthe pregnant woman (together with thefetus’ father and other familymembers) is not the only interested cit¬izen. The rest of us have an interestthat can be summed up in a singleThe Chicago MaroonThe Chicago Maroon is the official student newspaper of the University of Chicago.

If I torture my dog, for in¬stance, I cause anguish to my fellowcitizens that collectively outweighswhatever advantage I may think I’mgetting from my cruelty. The dog mayhave no inherent claim on the govern¬ment’s protection, but my fellow citi¬zens do. Consequently the law puts re¬straints on what I can do to my dog.Our empathy for babies is orders ofmagnitude greater than our empathyfor dogs and cats, and the law shouldtake this into acceunt. A good abortionlaw, then, would be a careful balancingof the direct interests of the pregnantwoman and the empathetic interests ofthe rest of us. This, I believe, can be done, and ourcurrent laws do it reasonably well. Theinterests of the woman are strong, andremain more-or-less constant through¬out the pregancy. The interests of therest of us, however, start out infinitesi¬mal and grow with the fetus. (Virtuallyno one empathizes with a fertilizedovum, but everyone empathizes with ababy.) Thus the outlines of a good law'are clear: early in pregnancy the inter¬ests of the w'oman are paramount, butby the time the baby is ready to beborn, the woman’s interest is ou¬tweighed by our collective empathy.Just where the dividing line falls, Ithink, is a point that our legislaturesare well equipped to haggle out.Douglas MuderThe heart of the problemTo 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 contraceptive meth¬ods and sexuality in general. Studieshave repeatedly shown that teenagerswho receive comprehensive sex educa¬tion have a far lower rate of pregnancy(and therefore of abortion) than theiruntaught peers. In fact, such educationseems to lead to a heightened sense ofresponsibility, for the educated group,on the average, first has sexual inter¬course about a year later than thoseleft to gather information at home or onthe street. Any school counselor cantell dozens of stories about girls andboys who found out too late that one canindeed get pregnant “the first time,” ‘if you don’t have an orgasm,” “if hepulls 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 congratulating our¬selves that the Soviet Union and Chinaresemble Orwell’s vision of 1984 farmore 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 Airstrip 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.Reger L. LustigHumanities Division4—The Chicago MaroonA good educationTo the editor:Education at the U of C really doeswork. At least it does for ChristianKranicke, second-year student in theCollege, who has learned a standardtechnique used in argument: shape theterms of discourse to your advantage.The gallant Mr. Kranicke invites“each and every member of the HydePark community (How noble to take onall comers!) to present me with a ratio¬nal argument for the continuance ofthe arms race.” Presented in such awell-contemplated manner, his chal¬lenge is one which would be refusedeven by those Hyde Parkers inclined toaccept the grandiose challenges of sec¬ond-year College students.One is not even certain of what Mr.Kranicke means by ‘‘the continuanceof the arms race.” (He evidently forgota major rule of argument: define yourterms.) If he means, as he probablydoes, the continuance of an arms racewhose very rules mandate that boththe US and the USSR — These are theracers, aren’t they? — increase theirweapons stockpiles, then perhaps onlyChinese Communists would heed hiscall for an argument. (The Chinese arethe people whose former leader ChouEn-lai stated that “after the nuclearwar China will pick up the pieces of adevastated world.”) Mr. Kranicke’schallenge is thus unworthy of a ratio¬nal response, since its terms — if I un¬derstand them correctly — leave noroom for discussion. I would, however,like to issue Mr. Kranicke a challengeKeep anonymityTo the editor:The University library system is giv¬ing out the names of borrowers and thispractice has got to stop.Tonight I received a telephone callfrom someone who needed a book Ihave checked out. Could I bring it inright away? Of course, I replied withconcern. I must have slipped up some¬how for I didn’t even remember gettinga recall notice. As it turns out, thecaller hadn’t yet filled out a recall no¬tice. It is already week eight of thequarter and he has no time for suchthings. The circulation desk gave himmy name instead so that he could pres¬sure me into returning the book firstthing in the morning.Two weeks ago, another personcame by my office to ask, didn’t I havesuch-and-such a book? The library cir¬culation desk told him I do and couldn’the look at it for a while? (What can onesay?) Now when a recall notice comesin for that book, I will have to trackdown this person, perhaps remind hima few times to return the book, andtrust that he does so promptly, for thesake of the other borrower and of myborrowing privileges.The reader may imagine that I havefully one-tenth of the University’s bookcollection in my office. I don't. Ap¬parently, I just read the right books.And how do I manage to borrow thesebooks? I fill out recall notices!Giving out the names of borrowersmight be suitable punishment for theinconsiderate borrower. Harvard doesnot do even this. Columbia gave out myname once (in nine years) and I wasassured it would never happen again,and it didn’t. After all, book borrowingworks only in an atmosphere of trustbetween lender and borrower. Irre¬sponsible borrowers must be pena¬lized. But siccing one borrower on an¬other, when the book has not beenrecalled and is not overdue, is inexcus¬able.Terry ElrodGraduate School of Business in the spirit of his own: if Nation N1,having a long history of genocide, tyr¬anny, and international expansion,threatens the interests of Nation H2 bycontinuing a military build-up whichhas proceeded unabated for several de¬cades, and if Nation #2 can counter thisthreat by strengthening its military ca¬pacity, give an argument — it need notbe rational — explaining why Nation #2should not strengthen its military.Michael RabiehSecond-year student in the CollegeDefending ZonisTo the editor,While Professor Naim, in his re¬sponse (Maroon, Feb. 21) to ProfessorZonis’s recent Woodward Court Lec¬ture, may or may not be correct in cri¬ticizing Zonis for concentrating on theissue of Syrian-Soviet involvement inLebanon to the exclusion of Israel’s in¬volvement, this omission can hardly bethe basis for concluding that Zonis is“partisan” i.e., pro-Israeli and anti-Arab. To evaluate Zonis’s stand onIsrael and the Arab-Israeli question,one must look at his public statementson these issues. These do not supportthe accusation that Zonis is biased, orpartisan towards Israel. Indeed whenIsrael invaded Lebanon two summersago, Zonis appeared on national televi¬sion and all but denounced the Israeligovernment, saying that the invasionwould damage US-Israeli relations andmost likely bring about the downfall ofPrime Minister Begin. These remarksthen earned Zonis the ire, if not scorn,of a number of people in the lay andprofessional Jewish community. How¬ever, the point is not to defend Zonis’scredentials as an objective scholar byciting examples of perceptions amongsome Jews that he is pro-Arab; or byciting examples of his often severe crit¬icisms of Israeli policy. The fundamen¬tal point, rather, is that scholars whoendeavor to take a balanced stand onissues as controversial as the Arab-Israeli dispute, often become targets ofderision by diverse, and often ideologi¬cally opposed groups or individualswho, like Professor Naim, have theirparticular and clearly “partisan” axesto grind.Daniel BrumbergGraduate studentDepartment of Political ScienceConlon writes onTo the editor,I just reread Thomas Cox’s open let¬ter to Ted Strom and myself. MaybeI'm in a worse mood now than 1 was thefirst time I read the letter, but now Ifeel that it needs a reply.There seems to be a growing numberof people, Thomas Cox apparentlyamong them, who see critical exami¬nation of the government as “ideologi¬cal mindlessness,” and “indoctrina¬tion.” Now it may be my own personalview, but I can’t help but see things dif¬ferently. It seems to me that if anyonehas the power to “indoctrinate" us, it’sgoing to be the government itself, andthose powerful interests which (assum¬ing wealth can buy political power) in¬fluence the government, that will havethat power, and not a few strugglingstudents. If Thomas is worried aboutindoctrination, he should think aboutwhere it is likely to come from.Perhaps Mr. Cox thinks I’m a badAmerican because I don’t smooth thepath of the government when it inter¬venes in places like Central America. On Nairn9s convenient omissionsTo the editor:While one can find fault with the Feb.12 lecture of Mr. Marvin Zonis, the “re¬buttal” by Mr. C.M. Naim is a disin¬genuous display of conveniently selec¬tive facts, omissions and innuendoes.Mr. Naim is upset that in attemptingto predict the course of the PersianGulf War, “Israel was kept out of thediscussion (by Mr. Zonis), perhaps be¬cause of bombing the nuclear researchfacilities (!) in Iraq, Israel has alreadyshown what it is capable of.”Does Mr. Naim indicate how thatJune, 1981 attack fits into the discus¬sion of Iran and Iraq in 1984? No. Doeshe mean that had Sadam Hussein beenable to build an Atomic Bomb, he couldhave put an end to the war with Iran?He doesn’t explain. He just drops thefact of the Israeli attack, implying thatit is a cause for the continued conflictthere.In discussing Lebanon, Mr. Naim, Ithink, borders on dishonesty. Indeed.Israel has aided various Lebanese fac¬tions before and after its 1982 invasion.These included the Phalangists. head¬ed by the family of President Gemayl.Mr. Naim says that the May 17 accord“with the flourish of a pen turned an in¬vader into a friend.” A friend of whom.Mr. Naim? The Phalange, or other Le¬banese groups? Please be specific. Atthis moment, some Lebanese Christianfactions are insisting that Gemayel notscrap the May 17 accord. In fighting the PLO (whose armed presence inSouth Lebanon and missile attacksagainst Israel brought on the Israeli in¬vasion, and who ruled a tyrannicalstate within a state in South Lebanon,all of which Mr. Naim conveniently ig¬nores), the Phalangists and the Israe¬lis were already friends. This has beena major obstacle to Gemayel’s promot¬ing Lebanese unity, as well as his un¬willingness to yield a share of power tothe other factions in Lebanon in spite ofthe new demographic realities there.(John Egan pointed this out in lastweek’s Maroon.)There are serious problems withIsrael’s policies on the West Bank, andHussein’s continued unwillingness tonegotiate over its future. In mentioningthe Golan Heights, why doesn’t Mr.Naim demand that Syrian PresidentAssad negotiate with Israel over them,as Sadat did over the Sinai?Mr. Zonis had 45 minutes or so togive his lecture, and with the death ofAndropov and the collapse of the Ge¬mayel government fresh in people’sminds, he might not have been able tocover the entire range of problems inthe Middle East to everyone’s liking.Whatever “errors” of omission hemay have made during his talk, theyare more than matched by Mr. Naim’sresponse.Edward ReismanGraduate studentHistory departmentA positive approach for JacksonTo the editor:A group calling itself Faculty AndStudents For Jackson recently postedfliers featuring a picture of PresidentReagan with a slash through it.Couldn’t they find a more constructiveapproach? Granted that it is almostimpossible to think of anything goodJesse Jackson has ever done, it stillshould be possible for them to producea flier which conveys something abouttheir candidate. Since they seem to becaught up with photographs, why notshow one of Jackson embracing hisfriend Yasir Arafat, the terrorist? Itwould certainly exemplify one of thedifferences between Jackson and hisDemocratic rivals: while they like tokiss babies, Jackson prefers to hug aman who kills them. If they couldn’t get that picture, whynot show one of Jackson accepting$200,000 from the Arab league, a groupwhich refuses to accept Israel’s legiti¬macy? While that might offend a fewpeople Jackson terms “Hymies” from“Hymietown,” it would certainly showthe Rainbow Coalition’s true colors.While it is possible to make intelli¬gent criticisms of President Reagan,these students — I am hoping they liedby saying that faculty memers are in¬volved with this nihilistic group — havenot done so. and their effort serves nouseful purpose. One can only assumethat the members of this group are asdevoid of class as the candidate theysupport.Russ MillerStudent in the Collegethe duties of citizenshipFrankly, I would say that the reverse istrue, and that when the governmentdoes something unjust, it is the citi¬zen’s duty to oppose the government.From Jefferson and Madison’s opposi¬tion to the Alien and Sedition Acts, toHenry David Thoreau. who spent timein jail to protest slavery and the warwith Mexico, to Mark Twain, who wasan active member of the Anti-Impera-list League, our finest tradition hasbeen one of resistance to unjust gov¬ernment. It is worth noting that Mom-mie may also have been a commie -the original Mother's Day, way back inthe 1870’s, was organized by womansuffragists as an anti-war protest.Think about that when you buy flowersnext May 8. Were these people also try¬ing to “indoctrinate, confuse..or lie to”their fellow citizens, as Cox accuses usof doing?The point of all this is that maybe it’sone of the duties of citizenship to resistunjust government policies, andmaybe it’s a sign of the decadence ofour policy when so many people are successfully “indoctrinated” by thepowers that be into believing that any¬one who disagrees with those powers istrying to “indoctrinate" us.In closing, let me use Cox’s conclu¬sion to illustrate a point. Cox wants his$15 Student Activities fee spent on“more honest and useful things thanideological mindlessness." Okay. Coxhas a right to say where his moneygoes. But let me just lie to or confusehim for a moment by asking: supposehis money went to kill people in varioushorrible ways in a foreign land. Ofcourse, the Student Activities Feedoesn't go for that, it goes for squaredancing and the chess club and thingslike that. But other money that Cox, orhis parents, pay in taxes does go forkilling people who, in my honest opin¬ion. shouldn't be getting killed. I thinkthat Mr. Cox shares responsibility forthose killings. And of course not justMr. Cox — all of us do. I guess thatbrings us back to the duties of citizen¬ship.John R. Conlondoubleknit BY L.D.

ELLISWilliam Bennett By Rachel ShteirWilliam Bennett spoke to a mixedcrowd of students and faculty Tuesdayafternoon on the topic “The Shame ofthe Graduate Schools Revisited.” Firstpresenting other scholars’ opinions onthe subject, Bennett followed with hisown thoughts on the quality of gradu¬ate education.A teacher of philosophy and a stu¬dent of jurisprudence, Bennett current¬ly directs the National Endowment forthe Humanities. Among the responsibi¬lities of the NEH are granting researchfellowships and reviewing dissertationproposals. To illustrate the difficultyNEH has in distributing money, Ben¬nett paraphrased Aristotle: “It’s easyto give money, but to give money at theright time and to give the amount to theright end is a praiseworthy activity.”Bennett said the title of his lecturestemmed from an article by William‘Blacklisted’ filmThe PBS television documentary “ElSalvador: Another Vietnam?” will beshown Sunday at 7:30 p.m. at Universi¬ty Church. Following the film, Luis Ra¬mirez, a Salvadoran filmmaker, willanswer questions:The film is being co-sponsored by theUnited Campus Christian Ministriesand CAUSE. The film presents inter¬views with officials from the Republi¬can and Democratic administrations ofthe past 20 years in order to probe theparallels and divergences of currentCentral American events with early USinvolvement in Vietnam. Also includedare interviews with the Salvadoranmilitary leaders, and with FDR repre¬sentatives.Last year the film was shown with support from the Student GovernmentFinance Committee. Funding was de¬nied this year on the grounds that itwas not primarily educational and pro¬moted “a particular ideology.”SGFC: last callThe Student Government FinanceCommittee (SGFC) will hold the lastmeeting for winter quarter February27 at 6 p.m. in the Student GovernmentOffice (INH 306). All budgets submit¬ted before noon Monday will be heardby SGFC that evening.The SGFC will hold the first meetingof Spring Quarter March 26 at 6 p.m.All student groups intending to sponsorevents before Monday of third week ofspring quarter which have not yet ap¬plied for funding should do so immedi¬ately. Arrowsmith written in 1964, and whichappeared in Harper Magazine, entitled“The Shame of the Graduate Schools.”Arrowsmith feared that graduateschools in America were becoming de¬void of academic excellence becausethere was not correlation between thematerial the students studied and thelives they led outside of school. “Thereis a gulf between what we read and howwe live,” said Bennett. Graduate stu¬dents have become a device for obtain¬ing a better job instead of a tool to pur¬sue truth and knowledge.After the appearance of Arrows-mith’s article, universities such asPrinceton and the University of Chica¬go conducted studies to define the con¬dition of graduate schools. These stu¬dies conclusively attested to the factthat graduate schools are in a state ofcrisis, characterized by an erosion ofquality. The students attributed theerosion to a lack of available funds andhypothesized that improvement wouldcome with the appearance of more fel¬lowships, better libraries and morecompetent professors. But a study un¬dertaken by the Carnegie Foundationblamed the erosion of quality on over¬specialization and a lack of jobs for po¬tential professors.Bennett leaned towards this versionand faulted a “professional” self-image as the cause of demoralizationof professors throughout American un¬iversities. He accused college profes¬sors of being concerned with teachingthose who want to learn and allowing“the troublesome hoards” to graduatewithout learning the material. In addi¬tion, he felt the minimal salary given tothose who teach lower level coursescaused apathy among assistant profes¬sors.Contrary to popular belief, Bennettfeels that opportunities for researchhave narrowed. He listed narrowing horizons and preprofessionalism astwo causes. Bennett gave the exampleof one student who wrote his disserta¬tion on a footnote. A small glimmer ofhope does exist for the US, according toBennett, The Scholarship programsand teaching opportunities are “thebest and largest in the world.” At thesame time, the giant economy and cul¬ture produces the largest amount ofmediocrity in the world.Bennett stated that a graduate edu¬cation should follow an undergraduateone with fluidity. Graduate workshould lead to greater understanding ofthe topic studied in college. He charac¬terized graduate education as “beingthe achievement of master, ratherthan apprenticeship.” Bennett saidthat both graduate and undergraduateeducations should include “learningthings worth knowing.” In Bennett’sphilosophy, professors fear placing ahigher value on one concept than an¬other. If all concepts have equalweight, the professor escapes makinga judgment and falls into intellectualindifference and laziness.While Bennett agreed that it is diffi¬cult to discern what is worth knowing,he suggested that the professor shouldplace values on concepts rather thanassign equal weights to every theme.He mentioned several ‘hints’ whichmight inform a professor w'hat is worthknowing. Among these clues were thewillingness of a subject to argue for itsvalue and the endurance of a subject.Bennett concluded his lecture by list¬ing several solutions to the lack of qual¬ity in graduate schools. He advisedprofessors to devote themselves to a“greater cause” such as an institutionor an idea. Bennett also advised profes¬sors to try harder to harness self-defi¬nition and obtain a different conceptionof professional legitimacy.Join us Mondaythrough Friday fora gourmet luncheon!Chez Morry now offers a lighter,gourmet lunch menu of the finequality you’ve come to expect.You’ll choose from an appetizingselection of Chez Charles’ excellentquiches, salads and lunch-sizeentrees that include prime rib,brook trout and pork tenderloin. . . reasonably priced from $3.95to $6.95, your choice of tea orcoffee included.Oureveningservice remainsunchangedReservationsrequestedFor reservations,call Ms. Barbara Smithat 49-1-2270.

We concentrate on areasnear the University. We just got an¬other dog that we use up there, too,”said Peters.O’Leary mentioned that the IC policeonce dropped the dog and officer pa¬trol, hut that U of C concern prompteda reevaluation and “they scared up thefunds to return it.”Lack of money and disagreementover areas of responsibility account forMediacontinued from page onesuit in increasingly specialized, mar¬ket-segmented media.”Nie saw this as both causing and re¬flecting the disintegration of party poli¬tics into special-interest group politics.During the past century and a half,“the task of the party was to blend spe¬cial-interest-groups into a marble cakeof permanent constituents,” Nie said.During our parents’ generation, ac¬cording to Nie, lifelong party affilia¬tions were built around immigrants, la¬borers, businessmen — voters votedfor unknown names based on theirparty, feeling that their general inter¬ests would be served even if they wereunclear how a candidate stood on aparticular issue. But, Nie said, “now,special interest groups, whose pres¬sure derives from the mass media,have created a cacophany of voices”which, in Nie’s view, “have paralyzeddemcracy.”Callaway agreed with Nie that themedia was becoming increasingly“atomized,” and took issue withStone’s assertion that pamphleteeringwas a thing of the past. Electronicpamphleteering is becoming possiblenow that the cost of equipment is solow, said Callaway — “The AyatollahFilmscontinued from page oneAdvertising revenue paid for the filmnotes, revenue that has been cancelled,seemingly ensuring the demise of thenotes. “Our printing costs are heavy,”Grima admits, “but our organizationlives and dies on the basis of our adver¬tising. We want to make them as entic¬ing as possible.” The posters and noteswere both Finegan’s innovations,Grima added. “Pat built them up, buthe’s leaving this year. He just trainedsome people to do the posters, but thenotes are a lot of work. It’s going to behard to keep them going.”The uniquely democratic process bywhich movies are selected sets LSF offfrom the other campus groups as well.Each member chooses 10 films and amaster list is prepared. There followtwo rounds of voting — one member,one vote — distinguished by trading,lobbying, and block voting until thequarter’s selections are picked.“There are two films we show yearly,”Finegan expanded, “Casablanca andPalm Beach Story. There are a handfulof others that get seen every otheryear, but no more than a third of ourfilms are repeated more than onceevery three years.”LSF does have an image of playing“easy-watching” movies, “the Chan¬nel 9 film society” an anonymousmember of another film group calledit “We would like to show more recentmovies — The Right Stuff for examp¬le,” Finegan said, “but we have anagreement with DOC Films in whichwe give up those rights. We recognizethat DOC is going to lose money ontheir weekly series and need the week¬ends to make money, and this is a wayof helping DOC ensure that there willbe such worthwhile series, for examp¬le, as the Latin American Filmsseries.Another distinctive tradition of LSF the absence of security phones on theplatforms. O’Leary said the Universitythought IC should take care of the mat¬ter: “We are trying to deal with whatwe think we are responsible for. Sinceit’s IC property, they should deal withthat responsibility.”“You can’t put their (University)phones on our property,” Powers said.“You have orange phones down in therooms.”O’Leary outlined the current sys¬tem : “They have a system not of emer¬gency phones, but phones inside thestations which will get someone fromthe IC railroad. Their instructions, Ibelieve, are to call Chicago Police andthen University Security.”Nevertheless, both groups acknowl¬edge that phones actually on the plat¬forms would be helpful. “We talkedwith them (IC) about that sometimelast year. They had submitted it forwas a revolution by audio cassette.”And when questioned by Richards andmembers of the audience as to whetherit was possible that this increasingfocus on the individual might behealthy for the political system, Cal¬laway simply responded, “Carter andReagan are good examples of mediacandidates”.Nie expanded on his previous asser¬tion, saying “Lloyd George, WinstonChurchill, and Teddy Franklin Roose¬velt would be ineligible for office be¬cause of a personal history or persoanhandicap that would have been ex¬posed by the modern media.” While po¬litical parties did not have a wonderfultrack record of elevating qualified can¬didates to political office, they did, ac¬cording to Nie, provide a strong organi¬zation in government with which “wecould hold our leaders accountable. Wecould throw the old rascals out, aswe’ve done every 30 to 50 years in ourhistory, and bring the new rascals in.”Callaway speculated that “the Ameri¬can people will develop a resistance tomedia candidates. But it may take twogenerations of one-term presidents be¬fore people return to the party sys¬tem.”Concerning the more direct impactof media on politics, Guest spoke aboutthe problem of “horse-race polls.” Nothighly professonal polls conducted byqualified statisticians, but quick pollsis the presentation of a cartoon beforeeach feature. “We own most of them,”Grima said. “LSF has the most exten¬sive cartoon collection in the Midwest— Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes(Warner Brothers), Betty Boop andPopeye (Fleischer), Disney, even two‘Tom and Jerry” cartoons.’ Extra rev¬enue the more popular films generategoes into expanding this collection.“We have a commitment to spend$1000 a year purchasing films and car¬toons,” Grima noted, “and in returnthe Film Studios Center Library storesour films in their temperature-con¬trolled library.”Fun movies, relaxing entertainment,high-quality prints and projection,good sound: these are the trademarksof Law School Films. The service theyprovide for the University is one of di¬version rather than of education.Where DOC provides a forum for theexploration of trends in film or for theresurrection or introduction of a little-known director to interested audi¬ences, Law School Films provides theperhaps more therapeutic option ofscrewball comedies or musical ro¬mances, movies to which a hard-work¬ing student might turn when in need ofan academic anodyne. The atmosphereon the South Side of the Midway is onenot of obsession, but entertainment.The International House Film Soci¬ety specializes in another film market.In the seventies, I-House Films was asuccessful operation playing mostforeign films, but it died out with thedecade. Enter Ray Gude. new programdirector at I-House, and a small groupnf film aficianados — Bob Travis,Steve Legget, and Matt Snider. “Weapproached Ray in the program officeand told him that we wanted to bringback the film society,” present chair¬man Bob Travis said, “and he liked theidea.” That was in the fall of 1981. Bythe next quarter, 1-House Films wasback in operation. “Our first showswere piett> rough,” Tiavib recounted,“We were using old projectors so the their capital budget,” O’Leary ex¬plained. Powers responded, “We ex¬plored that along with putting camerasup there. The costs were in the mil¬lions.”When asked why the University didnot partially finance such a move,O’Leary said, “It’s IC Railroad proper¬ty and they have a police system oftheir own and serve people other thanthe University community.”Currently, only an IC operator can bereached directly from the stations, andonly through phones located down¬stairs. This means that extra cautionmust be exercised on the platforms.“No place is perfectly safe all thetime,” Mason warned. “I would cau¬tion students to use the same precau¬tions as they would on any street. Bealert — anything can happen any¬where. Never let anyone get too closeto you. Be aware.”done by newspapers and television sta¬tions. “The Des Moines Register pollbecomes an event in itself,” saidGuest. Nie added, “polls become self-fulfilling prophecies and it becomeshard to separate ‘real events’ from thefeedback that polls create.”Finally, discussion centered on thequality of broadcast reporting itself.Callaway stressed that TV broadcast¬ing had changed dramatically duringthe past 30 years. “About five percentof scheduled broadcast time was newsduring the 50s and 60s”, said Callaway,much of it “a sop to the FCC” whichrequired a minimum of news, religion,agricultural, and religious programm¬ing. But as TV caught on, an audiencewas found for public affairs pro¬gramming — news programs (includ¬ing shows like 60 Minutes. 20/20, andPhil Donahue) now account for 28 per¬cent of network broadcast time, andnetworks such as CNN have becomeall-news. In the process, broadcastjournalism has become profitable, and“has gone from a calling to a commodi¬ty,” said Callaway.“I’m interested to know if volume ofnews can be equated with increasedknowledge,” Callaway added, and wor¬ried that news producers had opted for“entertainment instead of coverage”in packaging programs and coveringstories, especially in Third World na¬tions.sound was pretty bad, and they brokedown pretty often. Now we’ve got goodequipment and our showings are veryhigh quality.”The niche that I-House has carvedout for itself is appropriate: they show“classic,” usually older, foreign films,and the occasional American one withan international perspective or flavor(Ninotchka, for example). Travis be¬came enamored of film, especially thegreat European ones, when he was atPortland State University. “I took filmclasses at the Art Museum and theNorthwest Film Society Center,” hesaid, “so when I came here and sawthat there was no forum for the Euro¬pean and Asian ‘classics,’ I went toRay and suggested the Society as an al¬ternative to DOC and Law SchoolFilms.” And, evidently, there was agap waiting to be filled; the audiencesare growing.The close relationship between thegroup and the program office has a lotto do with I-House’s growth. “Theyoperate under our auspices,” Gudesaid, “We helped them out by cuttingdown their overhead — we provide pro¬jectionists and don’t charge rent forthe auditorium — and by buying someequipment, but it’s their organiza¬tion.”“They made a lot of improvements,”Travis explained, “which made it easi¬er to get to the point we are at now.”And that is a very good point indeed.“We are going great guns now.” Travissaid. “We’re making a profit, andwe’re going to start paying back theHouse.”But the future of I-House Films is notas assured as its present success mightindicate. “There is no real prospectivefilm chairman.” Travis said. “Thechairmanship is a lot of work and time,and the students are reluctant to takeon the responsibility.” Legget andSnider have already left, and Travis, agraduate student in sociology expectsto leave at the end of next year. “We’vegot a good organization now. with the Seithcontinued from page onedexing. Seith is the only DemocraticSenate candidate to favor indexing,which proponents say is designed toprotect against bracket creep of wagesinto higher tax scales due to cost of liv¬ing adjustments. “There’s a simplefairness issue involved with indexing,”Seith said. “If Burris, Simon, or Rockwant to raise taxes on working people,then they ought to stand up and vote forit and tell voters why, instead of lettinginflation do their dirty work.”Seith believes indexing would fuel aneconomic recovery with consumerspending, and a resulting improvedeconomy would push the gross nationalproduct up and cut the federal deficit.He said half of the present deficit is dueto a slack in the economy.Although Seith favors a balancedfederal budget, he does not support thepresent form of the proposed balancedbudget amendment. Seith balked attwo “major loopholes” in the proposedamendment — the ability of the gov¬ernment to evade a balanced budget byaccumulating debts on its capital bud¬get and by laying out loan guaran¬tees.Concerning foreign affairs, Seith op¬posed current US policy towards Cen¬tral America.“Current American policy towardsCentral America is based on ignoranceby the general public and avarice by alimited number of corporate inter¬ests,” Seith said. He said more cooper¬ation is needed with current LatinAmerican democracies to give Ameri¬cans a better perspective on the re¬gion’s problems and not look “gringois-tic” if dealing with other nations in theregion.WHPK broadcasts “South SideForum” Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. Nextweek’s guest will be Philip Rock, alsoseeking the Democratic nomination.Craig Rosenbaum, WHPK newsdirector, moderates the program.David Brooks, politics editor for theChicago Journal and political colum¬nist for the Chicago River Clipper, andChicago Maroon news editor CliffGrammich are the show’s panelists.staff we built up this fall,” Travisadded, “and if half of them stay over,we should be in good shape. But for thefuture, we need someone who will stepin and take responsibility.” But this isa distant worry; this spring the mem¬bership will meet to choose next year’sfilms.The I-House film selection will be dif¬ferent this year. In the past, memberswould submit lists, which were massedinto another larger list, from which thefinal list was culled by the chairman.The members are more involved now.“We’re starting with a list of about 300films.” Travis said, “which themembers are reviewing. When wemeet, people will discuss the films theyresearched, and then we will allchoose.” But it is a difficult process,especially for I-House. Because theyonly show films Thursday and mostFridays, there is more of an emphasison economically profitable films.“Members like a film and want to seeit, so they choose it,” Travis said, “butpart of the responsibility of the chair¬manship is to choose films that canbreak even.” I-House, like DOC andLaw School, chooses certain “money¬makers” (The Marriage of MariaBraun, for example, did very well) onthe weekend, to support riskier filmson Thursday. “Something like TheMother and the Whore is a real gam¬ble,” Travis added, “because althoughit’s a very good film, it’s long, obscure,and an exceptional work by a minordirector I was surprised when it didokay.”Of course we all have our own ideasof what marks each film group Theplush, comfortable seats in the LawSchool auditorium, the cavernousspaces of Quantrell auditorium, thepopcorn available in I-House — eachembodies a small but intimate aspectof that group’s philosophy: diversion,inclusiveness, specialty.

The works arethose of Chicago artist Robert Lostut-ter, and they constitute a formidablemid-career retrospective of over 220pieces. The works, through their useof shocking animal and plant imag¬ery, pose in an ironic way the veryquestion of the nature of humanness.Lostutter is a child of the ChicagoImagist School, and owes much of hisearly style to that movement. In thesixties his figures are pudgy and pas¬tel (reminiscent of Peter Max). Hetakes up the jarring, abrupt, often vi¬olent depictions of the Chicago Schoolwith a vengeance at the beginning ofthe seventies. Knives, flames, limbsappearing in unexpected places andoften missing where one expects themcharacterize this period in Lostutter’swork. The sense of the grotesque, ofthe surreal, plays in direct oppositionto the seeming innocence of the repre¬sentation. Unlike the dark, forbodingSurrealism of Tanguy, there is nomenace or impending doom in thesepaintings — rather an expanded na¬ture which includes (or, for onceadmits to) pain and violence as a mat¬ter of course. This violence is fre¬quently realized in the paintings assadistic acts of bondage, with the vic¬tim evident, but the perpetrator in¬visible to the viewer, and presumablyto the victim as well.There follows an increasing meticu¬lousness in Lostutter’s technique, ac¬companied by a new complexity andsubtlety of metaphor in his depiction.Perhaps influenced by the early se¬venties work of Chicago artist EdPaschke, Lostutter begins to paint thebody embellished, the face enhancedor masked, the discrepancy betweenthe self and the individual as per¬ceived from without. Lostutter is amaster at staging this opposition. Heexplores further (in his work of theWeeping for Moxlco, 1981 mid-seventies to the present) thesubtleties of this tension.Later images continue to be of menin bondage in a sense, but with a newtwist. Leaves, flowers, feathers aretied to faces and bodies. Whereaspreviously the bondage depicted hadbeen constraints of a physical nature,these are constraints on the spirit: thesuppression and masking of identity,self-imposed or per force we don’tknow, yet in either case more night¬marish than ropes alone could poss¬ibly achieve.As the painting of flowers andfeathers becomes progressively morecolorful and intense, we observe anongoing transformation. The petals oforchids or exotic plumes grow fromthe face itself. The effect is beautifuland fnysterious and profoundly dis¬quieting. An “offstage” unnamed sa¬dist can no longer be pointed to as re¬sponsible for this re-figurement. Arethese lush paradisiacal faces objecti¬fications of an internal beauty, or dis¬guise which has grown permanent,the unwilling transformation bringingto mind Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Theeyes of these creatures often betraya fear or sadness at war with the bril¬liant gaiety of the flowers or featherswhich are their face.Tribesmen in New Guineau makemasks of the feathers of the birds ofparadise, and the Westerner, notprivy to the social/ritualistic implica¬tions of the headdress, marvels solelyat their beauty. So here; the viewer isentranced by the colors and textures,but is uncomfortable looking beyondthem. Lostutter names his paintingssimply for the bird or flower whoseplumage or blossom is represented. Indoing this Lostutter puns on the na¬ture of representation in painting. Byvirtue of a title we expect to see a re¬presentation of a red hummingbird,and what we find is a creature that,although it shares surface charac¬teristics of a red hummingbird, embo¬dies a true nature which is anythingbut red hummingbird. Not quite bird,not quite man, but a hybrid withunique characteristics of its own incor¬porating disembodied aspects of bird-ness and humanness, the disparity be¬tween the two bringing force to thework.Lostutter also comments on the na¬ture of human interaction, our undi-mensional treatment of others, cate¬gorizing on the basis of surfacecharacteristics alone. Lostutter alsorecognizes the challenge of holding onto a personal identity which may ormay not correspond to the face theworld sees.A small and somewhat unusualseries from the early eighties depictsmen weeping. Lostutter returns toimages of physical bondage, here asmanifestation of an internal state.Each man is bound by tangible sym¬bols of that for which he mourns.These works, though sometimesopaque in their symbolism, are highlyemotive and exquisitely rendered.Lostutter’s painting style is a per¬fect vehicle for his messages. Hislayered, nearly pointillistic watercol-or technique creates an ethereal sur¬face. This together with a figurativestyle more suggestive of illustrationsthan of naturalistic depiction demanda metaphorical or symbolic readingover a formal one.The exhibit itself is a kind of medi¬eval bestiary. We walk through it andpeer into an illustrated taxonomy ofthe bizarre, at once disturbing andcompelling. We study these faces, soalien tc us, and in the process see re¬flections of ourselves.Purple Bellied Parrot, 1975Fig. 6.31.

Setmainly on the campus of the SevenSisters College Mount Holyoke, theplay opens with a reunion of fivegraduates of the college, and de¬picts various episodes from their col¬lege days in the following scenes.The play covers a wide range ofhuman personalities and aspira¬tions. The women who meet after thesix years following their graduationinclude a single woman who works inan insurance company, a housewifewho announces the expectation ofher first child, an ambitious lawyerwho proclaims at the start that she is“a very important person now,” arich graduate student who is work¬ing on her third MA, and finally, aformer English major who attemptsto write fiction until 5:00 everymorning. The play covers an evenwider gamit during the flashbackscenes in which it reveals the addi¬tional characters: these include a ca¬tatonic genius whose ambition tomake Wittgenstein movies succeedsin the end, a friendly blonde bombwho never reveals ambitions otherthan social ones, and a disheartenedphilosophy major whose failure tomeasure up to the accomplishmentsof the lawyer-to-be leads her to thedecision to study anthropology andsubsequently marry a journalist inIraq.The play considers competitivene¬ss, not only between men andwomen, but between the women inthe play. Its social comments, how¬ever, are made with lightness, witti¬ness, and hilarious depictions of thecharacters presented.Misalliance (written by George Ber¬nard Shaw, directed by Nicholas Ru-dall) “It is, in truth, a tolerably dullentertainment based on an aimlessnarrative.

The film opens withfootage of a Reagan Administrationofficial’s testimony of whv hedoesn’t think El Saivador is likeVietnam. This sets the stage for therest of the film. It’s been over fouryears since the United States be¬came seriously involved in El Salva¬dor, through a sort of preventativecoup which was supposed to reformthe country without weakening theUnited States' "friends" there.Forty thousand deaths later, it ap¬pears that these friends — the Sal¬vadoran oligarchy and SecurityForces — don't want to be reformedThe Salvadoran people thereforefind themselves paying for what theReagan Administration defines asU.S security. Another Vietnam is adocumentary about this struggle Anexpanded version of the originalPBS documentary, Another Vietnamreceived the highest award for adocumentary at the 1981 ChicagoFilm Festival. It was also nominatedfor an Academy Award. There is onedifference between El Salvador and*■ Vietnam, however, which the filmdoesn't mention Being much smallerthan Vietnam, El Salvador is likelyto be even more thoroughly devas¬tated if subject to a full scale U.S. at¬tack.

In the twelve years since its founda¬tion, Pilobolus has won international criti¬cal acclaim, State Department sponsorshipfor numerous tour, and several guest ap¬pearances on Sesame Street. They areperforming this weekend at the GooomanTheatre.The uniqueness of Pilobolus originates inthe group’s approach to choreography.Rather than develop a piece around its’perception by an artistic director, thedancers take their own ideas about thepiece and glean from them the finalchoreography. This “collective” choreo¬graphy predominates, but is not exclu¬sive, in the group’s work.The piece from the program I saw whichillustrates collective choreography at its’purest I called Ciona. The dancers form ki¬netic structures — their basic movement issimilar to that of a tread on the wheel of atank — which metamorphase into precise,breathtaking balances. One of these wasan L-shape formed by a dancer on hisback, legs forming a right angle to thefloor, with another dancer grasping hislegs just below the knees, her face pressedagainst his knees, legs continuing the ver¬tical line of his legs like an extension lad¬der. They balanced in a hazy blue light.While this sort of athletic movement isthe basis of Pilobolus’ strength, it is by nomeans the whole of it. The dancers use ele¬ments of mime and sometimes voices to create definite characters. Among themany examples, Carol Parker’s soloMoonblind is outstanding. The audiencewas enchanted by her. For me she evokeda character comprised of Morticia (TheAdam’s Family), Lolita, and a whirling der¬vish.In her flirtation with the moon sheevokes Morticia — and the comedy is en¬tirely appropriate — by taking Morticia’ssheath-clad shuffle (though Parker is in aloose gown) and charging it with energy.She moves onstage atop a piece of sheerfabric which the shuffle causes to froth upabout her calves, making it seem she isoscillating across the stage. She brings Lo¬lita to mind when, leaning back with herweight in her hands, legs spread and skirtup around her waist she looks in disbeliefat how far her leg is stretched, then putsher skirt back down with a self-satisfiedlook, and stretches her leg still further.

In aminute I’ll be outside and down the streetwaiting for the bus under the awning ofthe wine and cheese shop on the corner;but for now I warm my hands on a radiatorand breathe as deep as I can. I’m standingin the doctor’s office. The walls are all cov¬ered with mirrors, the receptionist’s deskis made from some highly polished metal;there are a few shiny chairs, a glass table,and a couch made out of clear inflatableplastic. A woman knitting there chews hergums. I see her from several angles, then,I’m looking at myself looking at the lady.Now she's watching me watch myself. Shegrins. “You might as well sit down youngman,’’ she says, “The doctor is runninglate. The doctor is always running latewith his appointments.” Then in a confi¬dential type whisper, “I think he does itjust to be annoying.”"I’m not here to see the doctor." I say. Idon’t want to talk with her. The bus will becoming soon, but I can see her gettingready for a chat. She straightens up,spreads her knitting on her lap, and then,from seven and one half different angles,her mouth opens and shows me the worstset of teeth I have ever seen. Fully half ofthem are gone, and the ones that remainare black and decayed, poking out likeweeds. I look away, but the mirrors on theceiling provide me with a new array of mybrother’s handiwork. I resign myself tofacing her, staring blankly at the spotabove her head. She takes this as hercue."Not here to see the doctor!” She clucks,"Come, come! Don’t be embarassed for mysake. We can't expect him to see every¬body, can we? I of course, am one of hisoldest patients, but he’s the most promi¬nent dentist in the city — he simply doesn’thave the time to see everyone! Don’t youknow that he treats the Mayor, the Sym¬phony, and, well, just about anybodywho’s anybody in town. But don’t look soglum! There are plenty of other den¬tists!”"I’m not here to see the doctor. Well, notas a patient anyway. He’s my brother.”He’s my brother, but he won’t talk to me.We’ve never really talked anyway, ex¬cept when he’d yell at me to stay on myside of the bedroom. My side was smalland cramped, and always messy; but hisside had plenty of room, always neat andorderly. Now he lives in a twentyrtworoom house in a private section of the city.I’ve only been there once, and then onlybecause I went with our father, and still, Iwas forced to wait in the garage. The heatwas unbearable that day, one of his Cad-drlacs was leaking oil, and by nightime Ipassed out in a pile of old tires. My fathercame and found me there; he tried to helpme but I couldn’t walk. My brother wascalled. He pulled on a heavy pair of workgloves, and took a hold of my feet. Hewouldn’t look at me, and practically threwme in the back seat of our father’s car.The last time I've actually seen mybrother was here in this waiting room, measking for money. He yelled at me in frontof his patients, and finally threw me outsaying it would be a cold day in his officewhen I’d get any of his money, Now, everytime I go there, he slips out of the backdoor, and waits for me to leave. Some¬times I stay there for a few hours, but heknows that as soon as he walks in there I'llbe on him with a new set of arguments. It’sa plan I’ve had since we were kids: to havehim support me.“Brother!” The woman is amazed. “Howcan that be?” I heard him tell his nursesthat he refuses to speak with you! Whatkind of a person would do that to hisbrother? Really, can’t you be honest withme? You have no need to impress me, doyou? It’s not as if I’m still a young girl!’She winks at me. “Although...! might beable to...exert some influence.”Her grin changes; the old bitch is flirtingat me. I’m starting to think about her nowthat I’m looking at her mink, and the dia¬monds wrapped around her neck. Shethinks I’m looking her over, and she de¬murely looks away — but in the mirror hereyes are fixed on me. She pulls a solid goldcigarette case from her purse, lights onewith a ruby encrusted gold lighter, suckingon the end of it like a young nymphet. Shecatches my eye again; I’m thinking abouther, her money, and me. Patting the couchbeside her, she beckons me with the toss ofher head that sets the wrinkled flaps offlesh beneath her chin to shaking; I’m look¬ing at the ring on her finger with a dia¬mond the size of my fist. She’s looking meup and down; I’m looking her over, butthen she smiles, and because I’m standingin the middle of the room, I see her mouth athousand times. I stop short, thinkingabout how big of a rock I’d need to fill upthat hole. She sees what I’m looking at,and closes it quickly, but she knows she'stoo late. I watch her get angry. By now,the crowd under the awning of the cheeseshop is growing Pretty soon I won’t get aseat, and I’ll have to stand the whole wayhome. The lady is staring at me."I have to go now ma'am. It was, uh, nicetalking to you." I head to the door, but she•-FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1984-THE GRl puts out her hand and stops me.“You’re the doctor’s brother, you say?What is it that you do?”“Nothing. Well, mostly nothing. Some¬times I clean buildings, but mostly, I don’twork, or anything like that.”"And the doctor won’t see his ownbrother?”“That’s it. He won’t talk to me, not inyears. Great relationship, eh? See, I’vebeen trying to borrow this money fromhim...” but now she’s uneasy; she picks upher knitting and the needles fly."Well!” she says, nervously glancing atthe door to the examining rooms. "I don’twant to get myself involved in the doctor’saffairs! He might get angry at me, andthen, who would take care of my teeth?”She drops her arm, and turns her body soI’d have to walk around her if I want totalk to her some more. I don’t. The oldernurse peeps over the counter and scowls.The old lady sees her, and tries to knit asgrandmotherly as possible. I throw openthe office door, run down the stairs anddown the street in time to grab the bus.I get the last seat, in the back next to anenormously obese man hunched despon¬dently with his head against the window.He sobs, his body heaves, rocking me aswell. Every now and then he lets out a longsigh that blows a stale smell towards me.He is dirty, his clothes are dirty; he lookslike he hasn’t slept in a few days. He lookslike he feels worse than I do. I’m hungry.I'm dizzy from being hungry, and I have aheadache. All I’m going home to is a coldone room closet in the back of the buildingwhere no light can get to. A family of ratshas taken over my cabinet, the roachesown the sink, and whenever it rains theceiling leaks and soaks my mattress. Ineed to use the bathroom badly; everytime the bus hits a bump, I groan.The fat man turns and pokes me in theside with his elbow, which becomes a sharppain below my navel, and near catastro¬phe in my trousers. His face is wet withtears; puddles form where his cheeks cut into become his chin. From somewhere deepinside his pocket he pulls a stiff brownhandkerchief. He scrubs his face, clears histhroat. I turn my head so I won’t have tolook at him, but I find myself staring rightinto the crotch of a huge man wearing arhinestone-studded belt buckle with 'Ren-ard’ in sparkling, six-inch letters. I lookup. A tittle round mirror directly in my lineof sight is nearly filled with the reflectionof the fat man, with me nearly falling offthe seat. He clears his throat again. I lookat him. He wants to tell me his life story,and I’m stuck because I still have anotherthirty-five minutes before my stop. He’sstill sniffling, now searching my face likehe’s never seen anything like it before. Hiseyes widen, he stops sniffling, and a slightsmile curls up. "Yesss....yesss...’’ he mut-ters, and it’s all he says for the next fiveminutes while I search in vain for some¬place else to focus my attention. The win¬dow is dirty, and blocked by the fat man; alady has sat down in frqnt of me wearing ahat with long feathers that scrape my faceif I look straight ahead. The fat man stiljstares. Now he smiles, looking back andforth between me and a photo in his hand.Finally, he clears his throat again, andpats me solidly on my leg. This sends an¬other bolt of pain to my bladder, and I’mfighting with all the control I can muster.He clears his throat one more time, blowshis nose, and says:"Excuse me, but...you..,you’re a deadringer for someone I once knew. Do youmind if I tell you about it?” I know I haveno choice; the fat man knows when he hasan audience. His words fly out like a damburst. "Yesss...yess! A perfect double, adead ringer! Please, pardon my behavior,but I’ve never seen anything like it beforein my life! Maybe you noticed how upsetI’ve been? Well, I assure you that I’vebeen crying for good reason. Tell me, howtall are you?”“Whatf Well, five foot six and a half,”"Over five seven in heels, right?”“Right.”"Fantastic! And your weight? Yourpant’s size?”“125, with a twenty-six inch waist.”“Amazing! Yesss! Brown hair, greeneyes...the cleft in the chin...yesss! Tell me,when you walk, do you throw both arms,or only one?”"Only one.”"The left one? And are your legs a littlebowleggeci?’ ’“Yes, and yes, but...""But only because you hold your feet instraight, right?”"Right, but...”"Fantastic! Perhaps there’s a god afterall! For a while there I thought I wouldhave to give it in! Life was looking so terri¬ble! But you...Call me Arnie, okay? And I IIcall you, Wonderman!"Wonderman? Look, Arnie, my nameis...”"Wonderman, you’ve heard of him? Hewas an employee of mine, a friend! Wewere getting rich together. I ran a pizzaarcade downtown, and the kids used tocome everyday, just to see Wonderman,and watch him do his tricks. He was such ahero to them! He’d spin the pizzas on his finger while he served them. He’d hookhimself up to a cable that runs across theceiling, and he’d fly through the diningroom shouting wholesome moral mes¬sages. Then he’d give everyone an auto¬graph. You’ve never seen children sohappy! He’d let the little girls feel his mus¬cles, and he’d show the boys his secrethandshakes. We were getting rich! Somenights we had so many people, a linewould run all the way down the block, andwe’d be out of food! But it didn’t matter,the kids kept coming — all thanks to Won¬derman! "I don’t need you, Arnie. I told you...”"You want to borrow money from yourbrother! Only your brother? Why do youshame yourself? I’m offering you a chancefor a decent living. But, no, you’ll take themoney from your brother, instead of earn¬ing it yourself! What for? That’s all I wantto know! We’re talking about my life here,buddy...look I need you. Without you, I’lldie. Please...I’m begging!”"I don’t want to be Wonderman. Youdon’t know me. I am mvself.”luaim"That rotten creep. One day he packedoff on me, got himself a job as a superheroon some Saturday morning kids’ show. Itried to replace him — I had a tall, skinnyguy with a lisp, and a midget; I even hadone guy come in with no tegs saying thatall I’d have to do is hook him up to thecable, and then he’d just fly around allnight — but the kids wouldn’t come any¬more, said they only wanted the real Won¬derman. I told them he was off to Africafighting for the cause of good and jusice,but after a while they stopped believingme, and now the place is always empty. Igot a warehouse full of mozzarella cheesethat’s starting to smell! But I got no pizzasfor no one who wants to buy. Butyou...They tell me I’m going to lose theplace if business doesn't pick up. If theytake away my pizza arcade, then theymight as well take my life, that’s all. Butyou...” He was stroking my arm while hesaid this, now he pats my hand. "You don’thave a job, do you?” he asks hopefully."I don’t want a job. I’m going to borrowmoney from my brother."“And your brother? Does he look likeyou?”"No. He’s a dentist,” I try to picture my¬self in a Wonderman suit. I try to picture.my brother and I dressed in Wondermansuits. I think of the lady in my brother’s of¬fice, her mouth, "Nice weather we’re hav¬ing, eh?” This to make him depressedagain. I wanted him to stop talking; hisvoice scrapes my ear like he’s from Illinois.*He couldn’t be happier."Ten minutes ago, this weather wasgoing to be my final straw. I was going tostep off this bus, get splashed by a taxi soI’d be soaking wet, and then I’d find thenearest bridge and throw myseif off. Butnow...You don’t have a job? You don’twant a job? Everyone needs a job. Why,I’ve worked all my life — I couldn’t livewithout a job! You think you don’t want ajob because you can’t believe that there’sa job in this world that’s tailor-made foryou! But, don’t you see? There is! You areWonderman. You’ll fit the suit!”“Now wait a minute, Arnie, I....”“The kids won’t accept anyone else! Butyou, you’re Wonderman! You’re thatschnook’s perfect double, an absolutedead ringer! The kids would never knowthe difference — they’d all come back. I’dbe rich again!”‘I can’t spin pizzas.”Neither could that backstabber. We hadto put dents»in the bottoms of the pizzapans, and he’d stick his fingers in there.Anyone can do it. And the flying’s easy!Nothing to worry about. You’ll be per¬fect!”“I don’t want a job, Arnie.”"What? Sure you do! Everbody wants ajob!”“I told you. I don’t...”"Listen, is it money’s the problem? Isthat it? I tell you, I’ll pay whatever youask! Believe me, once you get into thatWonderman suit, it’ll be gold watches andlimosines for us. Name your price and yougot it. I won’t haggle — I’m honest. Youneed me, and I need you.” “Nothing I can say will convince you?You can’t be Wonderman, can’t be a humanbeing, can’t help another so desperate?”“No Wonderman!” I picture myself fly¬ing around the ceiling of a pizza place. Ishake my head at the idea, and it goesaway. "No. No Wonderman. Sorry.”“I can’t believe this!” The fat man is yell¬ing, the rest of the bus is staring. "He fitsthe suit!” he says to them. He throws hishands up in the air; all eyes follow. "God!Who are you? Is this Love? You send me anew Wonderman, but it’s only a tease.Why do you torment me?” He shakes hisfist. A couple of kids behing us giggle. Thewoman in front Of me turns her head tolook at us, a feather pokes me in the eye.The fat man start crying again. Shakinglike a bad puppy, he pulls on my jacket,bawling and yelling at the same time so Ican’t understand anything he’s saying ex¬cept "Wonderman!” His nose is running,his lips shiny, saliva running out of thecorner of his mouth. The bus stops. The fatman pushes me off the seat, forces his wayout the door. I slide up next to the window,and watch him standing on the corner,next to a big puddle, screaming at the bus,tearing at his clothes.Renard sits down next to me, leaning tooclose. His eyes are red, puffy, and half-closed; his breath stinks from cheap liquor.His voice is a sly hiss like a snake stalkingdinner.’I heard you turn down the fat guy.Sound like a good thing to me.”“Not for me.”"Everyone needs to eat man.”‘Til get the money from my brother.”"Your brother gives you money?”"No, not yet.”"You ask him for money?”"Every week for the past ten yers.”"And he’s never given you any? Whatmakes you think he’s gonna give you somenow? Seems like an awful lot of troublejust to get a loan. Hell, it’d be easier to justget a job!”“it hasn’t been that bad. Only in the fastcouple of years since Dad died: I used toborrow from him. My brother hasn’t givenme a penny — but I’m still working onit.”“How come he doesn’t lend his ownbrother any money? Is he broke, or what?Or, don’t he like you?"He’s an asshole.”"And he ain’t gonna lend you no moneyeither, man.” He gazes off in a dull stareof recognition. ’Yeah, I know that storyman. Listen man, you don’t want a job,and that’s cool — I can understand that, Ican! You don’t want to work, and that’scool. But everyone needs some bread,right? So maybe I can help you out. Maybewe can figure this thing out, where youdon’t have to work, and still get somescratch. Dig?”"What?""See, it’s like this. I been looking for aman just like you — I’m telling you, you’dbe just right for it. See — I been movingthis reefer, but the cops been coming downon me real hard. So I need someone to holdonto my stash for me, while I hustle itaround. I give you some money, all thedrugs you can do, introduce yourself tosome of my ladies, and all you gotta do iskeep the stuff at your place.”‘‘My place got rats.”“No problem! I got some shit here that’llkill anything on four legs! I’m talkingprime quality smoke man, moves so fastyou’ll be sleeping on the bucks in no time.Now that don’t sound like such a bad deal,does it? Beats running around in someWonderman costume!” He laughs.“I don’t want your money.’"Man! what’s this shit? Your brotherain’t gonna give you no scratch. I seen youaround man. I know you ain’t so good foryourself. Now I’m offering you a chance toget some easy cash, and you're saying youwon’t take it?” Renard looks at me likehe’s going to hit me, demanding an an¬swer, leaning over me with his chest press¬ing me against the wall of the bus. He's alot bigger than me."It’s against my principles. I’ll borrowfrom my brother. Thanks anyway.”"Principles! Shit! You gonna eat yourprinciples? Man, I’m telling you, don’t be afool about this! I got some coke that’ll setyou on fire. Listen, I ain’t gonna beg youman. I’m just trying to help you out.” Hepauses, looks meaner, brow quivering.“You ain’t even gonna let me help you!Shit, You some kinda weirdo, man? I closemy eyes and wait, but he isn’t going to hitme. He’s already talking fast to a prettygirl across the aisle.The bus stops. The rain leaks in throughthe edge of the window, and falls in mylap. My bladder is about to burst; Renardwaves his arms while he talks, accidental¬ly pops me in the jaw with his elbow. Twostops later I jump off the bus, fly down thestreet, into my building, up the stairs, andinto the bathroom at the end of the hall.The toilet is stuffed and overflowing. I usethe window instead, the people belowthink it’s rain.The landlord has padlocked my door, so Ipull the crowbar that I keep in a hole in thewall, and pry the lock off. I push open thedoor. This time he's emptied my apart¬ment. My furniture — the chair and tableare gone, my clothes are gone; so are mybaseball bat and my broken T.V. He mustnot have liked my only picture; a paintingcalled ‘Prometheus Tied to a Rock’. It’slying on the floor, slightly torn, with abootmark covering the eagle The refrig¬erator is off; he even cut the plug, butthere’s still a half a can of soup, and it’sstill slightly cold. I put it on the stove andcook it by lighting a bunch of paper underthe can. It boils; I swallow it too fast. Itscalds. Sitting on the floor by the window.I try to think of ways of getting mybrother to talk to me.Angry steps come pounding down thehall, and I can tell it’s the landlord becauseof the big boots he wears. He bangs on thedoor for a while, but I don’t answer. I waitto see what he will do. Finally realzingthat the door is open, he comes barrelingin, hunched up with his fists clenched.There’s hatred in his eyes. He looks aroundthe room, but he can’t say anything be¬cause he’s so angry."Good evening Mr. Bagelman!” I say po¬litely, as if he is standing there dressed fortea. This makes him even angrier, so Ismile at him. My teeth are yellow, butthey’re still all there. Bagelman pacesback and forth. He advances towards me,shaking a broomhandle.“Do you know what this place lookedlike before you moved in?You...you...Slime!” he yells, "Dirty pig! Iwant you out of this place in five minutes!Do you hear? Five minutes, and then I’mcalling the police. I’ll have you put away!You!”"But Mr. Bagelman, let me explain...”"Explain! Explain what? Explain whyyou haven’t paid rent in these past fivemonths! Explain that! You crook! Ghettobum! Where’s your money? That's what Iwant from you! I want my money, and Iwant you out of here.”"But Mr. Bagelman! My brother...”"Your brother! That’s all I hear fromyou! Always the same story — yourbrother’s going to give you the money.Tell me, where is this brother of yours?Where is his money? What kind of brotherwould let you live like this?”"Any day now, Mr. Bagelman, any dayand I’ll have the money. I think I’ve almostgot him — he’s a touchy person you know.A dentist.”"Dentist, schmentist you'll have themoney! Like I’m the biggest fool in theworld you’ll have the money! No way, mis¬ter! No more free ride! You're out of thisplace today! Why don’t you get yourself ajob? You’ve been to college, haven’t you?Get a job, get some self-respect! Get out ofmy building! Work, you louse! Work foronce in your stinking life!”"Getting money from my brother ispretty hard work, Mr. Bagelman.” He’stearing at his hair, tapping the boomstickhard on the floor."Enough! Why do I stand her and argue?I can’t figure you out; I don’t care aboutyou! This is my final word. I want you outtonight, and I never want to see youaround here again. Get out, or I’ll call the police! Do you hear?” He spits at me; itmisses and hangs from the windowsill be¬side my ear. I say no more. He glowers andleaves. I settle back; my mind wandersback to my brother.The door is still open. A head peeksaround; my next door neighbor: a middle-aged woman with two kids who nevercome home. She lives with a junkie whodoesn’t say much but when he’s hitting her.I have the feeling she’s been watching mefor a while. I look up at her. She jumps,startled.“I’ve never seen your place before.”She says meekly, "It’s kinda small.” Sud¬denly, I’m feeling cheerful."Well, you should have seen the placebefore I fixed it up.’ I wave my armaround the room; she follows it with hereyes. "That Bagelman! What a funny guy,huh? He’s up here all the time yelling atme, just talks on and on!” I wave her in,but she shakes her head."I just wanted to tell you that you got aphone call about an hour ago. Some lady,said she was your brother’s nurse. Hesick?”"Uh, no. I don’t think so. I haven't seenhim in a while.” This is news. I stand up, goto the door. She backs in to the hall. "Thenurse, eh? The young one, or the oldone?”“She sounded kinda old, but I can’t tell.”Bad news. The younger nurse likes me bet¬ter; and I think she doesn't like mybrother. "She said you should call her‘cause it’s urgent. You can use my phone, ifyou want, but be quiet, cause Vinnie’sasleep, and if you wake him up he’ll bepissed.”I’m thinking now that maybe after allthese years my plan has succeeded, thathe’s given in, and now he’s calling to askme to move into his penthouse since henever uses it anyway, and then he’ll say‘Go and get yourself a new set of clothes.Here’s all my credit cards! I nearly stumbleover my neighbor as I follow her nextdoor. Her place is bigger than mine — tworooms — but not for long, I’m thinking, be¬cause maybe he’ll let me take over hissummer place down south, and I’ll be lyingout in the sun all day, getting tan. Vinnie,a skinny guy with a goatee, is sleeping ona pile of rags that look like my clothes.This is the first time I’ve seen him; he looksa lot different than I expected. I dial. Myhands straighten my hair. I look at myshadow, and fix my shirt. Maybe mybrother will get the phone The phonerings, I clear my throat a couple of times.The older nurse answers, her voice wet,like she’d been crying. I can barely hearwhat she is saying. "Hello, Nurse?”“Your brother!” she wails, "Dead!...justa little while after you left! He...thedrill...slipped...right through his heart!...Itwas so horrible!...I saw the wholething!...”"What? He’s dead? How? Why?” Thisputs a real crimp in my plan.“Yes! Just a little while after you left! Itwas...was....oh!”"Are you sure he’s dead?’’ Shewhimpers, sniffles, coughs, answers."The last thing he said was...was...hesaid...” but she breaks down and blubbersinto the phone."Go ahead Nurse. I can take it.”"He left you all his money!” And she col¬lapsed into a new wave of cries. "He caredso much about you, but he could nevershow it. He only wanted you to help your¬self!”"He did what? He left me all of hismoney? That’s not fair!” I am in shock, butonly from anger That Bastard goes anddies on me, spoils all of my plans, justgives me the money in the end, just likethat...slime! I stand there not speaking fora couple of minutes while the nurse cries inmy ear. She moans, and Vinnie is startingto wake up. I yell into the phone:“Never! I don’t want his money thisway!” Vinnie is fully awake now and pull¬ing on the woman’s hair. "Never! Why didhe die? Why couldn’t he have given inwhile he was alive? He led his whole life tospite me!”“But you’ve got everything now, he’sgiven it to you! You have to take it. He wasyour brother.” She’s crying still, and so isthe woman because Vinnie is punchinghere. I hang up the phone, stamping thefloor, trying to think. I feel a strange ex¬haustion. I don’t want to argue anymore. Iwant to sit down and never move again.A clap of thunder and rain redoubled.Vinnie is kissing her now, they’re rollingall over my clothes. I pull a couple of shirtsout. A puddle of water flows from myroom. My anger overtakes me, swingingthe crowbar, sending glass into the alley. Iam tired, the crowbar is heavy and fallsfrom my hands. A deep sorrow I lookaround the room — an empty place; itwouldn’t even exist if not for the damage Ihave caused. The walls pitted, plasterpiled on the floor, the sink split in two, themattress gutted and thrown around theroom all give an energy to the room thatwouldn't be there if it was just me. A longshard of glass by my feet shows me my¬self. I blink and the reflection is gone.

I’ve never readJung—I’m guessing.“Well, it’s sort of the cohesion of unrelat¬ed things by a larger connecting force.’’With one breath“He got the idea from the philosopherC.G. Jung, like he got the idea for ‘Ghost inthe Machine' from some novelist.”With one flow“Each of them devised a set of photos ofhimself for the album cover, and none ofthem knew what the others were doing.”You will know“Then when they combined them, theywere all supposed to be linked because ofthe, uh, force.”SynchronicityShe seems unimpressed and vaguely dis¬consolate.Carload after carload of smoking subur¬ban pubescents siphon into Horizon lots—are these kids old enough to drive? Thewarm-up band, a tepid and unconvincingRe-flex (‘The Politics of Dancing’), leavesus fidgity and restless. Then, in a thunder¬ous rush, the Police are on.Stewart Copeland, Andy Summers andthe former Gordon Sumner enter as agroup, but each immediately stakes hisclaim to a measured portion of stage.Throughout the concert, only Sting willventure across the boundaries. For the better part of an hour he is utter¬ly alone, isolated from his band and20,000 bellowing fans by the songs hesings. About half of us, the thinking half,are alone too.He sings of alienation and pain, of jea¬lousy, obsssion and possession; he singsfrom the heart and pulls no punches. Andhe so rudely breeches the accepted lines ofrock’n’roll subject matter it seems awonder that his songs sell.Everyone I know is lonely, they’ve got sofar away. And my heart belongs to no one,so now sometimes I pray.How can one be alone among thousands?“One is never not alone, if you know whatI mean, alone all the time,” he said after arecent show in New York. ‘‘I think one ofthe ways of relieving that awful sense ofisolation is by realizing that everyone is inthe same boat and by proclaiming one’sisolation in unison with 70,000 other peo¬ple.”Sting takes chances onstage. Behind himis a miniature trampoline, and he soars pe¬riodically to seemingly dangerous heights.He scowls at the audience, scolds them,laughs at them. By his own admission henever makes eye contact with any singlefan.“He’s not crippled by self-doubt,” afriend was once quoted as saying. ‘‘Hedoesn’t court you. It’s not arrogance, it’sthe self-confidence of one who has createdhimself. It’s the smugness of the truly,truly hip.”And it’s true—he is not solicitous in per¬formance. He is merely irresistible.Gazing up at the Horizon dome, he asksquietly: “You know what / want? (pause. .. pause. . . pause. . . silence) I wanna raisethe fucking roof.” We do.“Not bad,” he concedes.One senses a tension between Sting andthe other Police. Copeland and Summersseem sullen, self-contained. Both play withintense, studied concentration (and, it is tobe added, technical brilliance), leaving theacrobatics and PR to their mouthpiece. Ifrequently recall rumors that a breakup isimminent, perhaps at the close of theSynchronicity tour.So this is our last goodbye. You don’tcare, so I won’t cry. You’ll be sorry whenI'm dead.

De¬spite the double disappointment of the two losses, thetrip was well worth it.There was supposed to be a fan bus going up to seethis critical basketball doubleheader, but apparentlymost students were too flooded with homework to getaway. The idea for the fan bus had originally beenhatched as a response to a similar trip which the St.Norbert students had made to Chicago earlier thisyear. But the Chicago plan failed when only 17 stu¬dents signed up — 40 were needed to make the tripmonetarily worthwhile.Driving up to Green Bay was no problem, but ourless than fabulous method of planning required air¬tight scheduling and a lead foot on the accelerator.We arrived, just as I had predicted, about two min¬utes prior to the tipoff of the women’s game. Theticket-takers apparently had never heard of “pressprivileges,’’ and despite our persistent request to beadmitted free, they charged us two bucks apiece.As I pointed out earlier, the actual contests turnedout to be somewhat disappointing. The women let afirst half lead deteriorate into a 16-point deficit mid¬way through the second half, and as the lead slippedaway so did the conference title. The men’s game,however, was never really close. The St. Norbertmen, ranked 12th in the nation in Division III then(eighth in the latest poll), cruised to a quick 10-2 leadgnd never looked back en route to a 35-point victo¬ry-We did, nonetheless, have one minor cause to cele¬brate after the men’s game. St. Norbert’s all-worldforward Joe Emmerich, who leads the Midwest Con¬ference in scoring, got into foul trouble and was heldto a measly ten points, despite what heroics his five-minute pre-game introduction may have implied.Emmerich had been averaging 20 points a game andis a realistic All-American candidate.Oh, by the way, we weren’t the only U of C fans atthe game — another group of six students, along withsome parents and relatives made the trek to giveChicago a cheering section nine students strong. St.Norbert, by comparison, had almost a capacitycrowd, as close to 1000 people filled the stands. Andremember, this is at a school of only 1800 students,all undergraduates. While Chicago crowds are neverthat large, there seems to be a few obvious reasonswhy.The big difference seemed to be the knowledgeabi-lity of the students. I talked to a number of the St.Norbert fans and they all seemed to know theirGreen Knights by name. I had the feeling that if youasked ten people on their campus to name the start¬ing line-up of the men’s team, at least eight couldhave given it to you. I doubt if one in ten, if that,could name Chicago’s starting five around here.And I wonder how many students here knew thatthe women’s squad was playing for the conferncechampionship. The St. Norbert fans all seemed tosense that the title was within their grasp as the Nor¬bert women began pulling away in the opening min¬utes of the second half.Atmosphere was another distinguishing factor be¬tween Green Bay and Chicago. The atmosphere inthe Norbert arena was a lot like a major college bas¬ketball game. The stands were filled, cheerleaderswere positioned under the baskets, the pep bandcranked out tunes during the intermissions, andthere was even a halftime show. It also seemed toadd a lot to the aura of the game that the stands en¬closed the court and there was no track around it;the only event their field house is used for is basket¬ ball, except volleyball played on the court almost in¬visible behind a large screen.Crowds may never be as large here as they arethere, but it certainly seemed after this weekend’strip that they ought to be larger than they are. Itcouldn’t be the lack of quality of play, obviously, be¬cause both of our squads have records above .500.But surely, the lack of knowledge among the stu¬dents seems to keep many potential fans in the Reg.-MB*****What appears to impress visiting track teams themost about the U of C track team so far this winterhas not been the team itself (though they’re 2-0 indual meets) but where they run — fche Henry CrownField House. “The facilities here are really nice,”said Valparaiso head coach Drew Pringle, “the flooris excellent...,we don’t have any place like this yet.”Admittedly UC coach Ted Haydon sees the facilitieshere as a competitive edge over most visiting teams,citing that many teams have virtually nowhere elseto run except in a nearby gymnasium or outside —when the weather is “nice”. The attractiveness ofthe home-field advantage obviously has not been un¬noticed in schedule making, for virtually all of the Uof C’s indoor track season will be run in the FieldHouse including the MCAC (Midwest ConferenceAthletic Championships) indoor conference meet onMarch 3rd. —SC*****“Double axthle, thtar lift...thooper good perfor¬mance.” Dick Button, get a real sport, please. Fig¬ure skating is the dullest institution on the face of theearth. I’m sorry, but give me bocci instead. (I dohave to admit though — it was nice getting themedals).The Olympic games from Sarajevo have beenabout as exciting as a Common Core bio lecture. Be¬tween the “official sponsor of the ’84 Olympics”commercials, and John Denver’s trips down senti¬mental country roads, the only item of real interesthas been the screw job handed to the US Nordic-Combined ski team and the Mahres’ attitudes. Afterfinishing with very high 50-meter jumps, our two topNordic skiers were forced to rejump in bad weatherconditions and lost their chance for a medal. MaybeI’m not in the Olympic spirit, but I find it peculiarlycoincidental that the top three finishers in the nordic-combined represented countries who played a majorrole in scheduling the rejump.And while on the subject of bad weather conditionsand wonderful coverage, the Winter Games reachedthe tops in ridiculous a while ago with the running ofthe women’s downhill, when ABC showed us anempty white screen (the fog-enveloped the downhillcourse with a skier on it, we were told) as the an¬nouncers wondered “Where is she? Did she make itthrough there?” One has to wonder if after thisyear’s “success” whether ABC really does want theWinter games again in 1988.

I can just see it...“Jordan can beat up on theBlue Demon? any day.” —GS.* * * * s)l I wonder how many people believed the words ofMaroons men’s basketball coach John Angelus inTuesday’s paper. A few columns away from a storyof his team’s 89-54 “game” against the nationallyranked St. Norbert Green Knights sat commentssuch as “We can beat them,” and “if we’re going tobe contenders next year we can prove it right now.”Turns out, Mr. Angelus proved his point.“Yeah...I think ‘inspired’ just might be a goodword,” said Norbert coach Mike Heidemann aboutthe play of the Maroons Wednesday night, when theKnights — the nation’s number eight team in Divi¬sion III — escaped scraped and battered from theHenry Crown Field House with a 57-50 victory. Chi¬cago’s physical, defensive oriented game neutra¬lized the Norbert offense and fast break, and exceptfor the numbers on the scoreboard Norbert held onlyone edge at the end of the game: shooting.The Maroons shot a dismal l9-for-63 from the field(30.2 percent) while Norbert shot 24-for-54, a 44.8percent mark.“If we’d have put the ball in the hole we’d havebeaten them,” said Angelus after Wednesday’sgame. Angelus also mentioned that he stressed de¬fense during preparation for the game, and thatmay have left the Maroons — some of them ham¬pered by illness as well — a little tired.“It was either work hard and stress defense, ortake it easy and stress offense,” said Angelus. “Ichose defense.”Chicago’s defensive performance went remark¬ably foul-free, as St. Norbert didn’t enter the bonusin the first half, and hit only nine free throws on thenight, six of them in the final 58 seconds of thegame.Most of all, this game sets a tone for next season.After a 3-6 start, 0-3 in the conference, Chicagoclosed the season with an 8-3 mark in the last 11games, and will return its entire starting lineup nextseason. In fact, the only losses to graduation — MikeMurden and Sean Mahoney — saw limited action thisseason, so the Maroons will suffer minimal overalllosses. Center Keith Libert, the team’s leadingscorer, and forward Nick Meriggioli, who rose to theoccasion Wednesday with some great play, have onemore year left, while starting sophomore Rob Omie-cinski and freshmen David Witt and Tom Redburgreturn as well.“We got their attention: now we want to get theirrespect,” said Angelus earlier this week. His teamearned some respect Wednesday. —FL* * * * *The women’s basketball team concluded its seasonwith a 57-45 win over Beloit College in WisconsinWednesday night. The Maroons finished the seasonwith an impressive 15-6 overall record, including anawesome 12-1 mark in the conference, a mark onlyequalled by St. Norbert. But because of Norbert’s 12-point victory over the Maroons recently, the GreenKnights will compete in the conference title game.

Libert andOmiecinski then led a 2-on-l after a Li¬bert steal, and Libert put in Omiecins-ki’s rebound with 55 seconds left to giveChicago the lead, 23-22.A driving lay-in off the glass by Em¬merich sent the teams to the lockerrooms with Norbert ahead 24-23.Chicago took its last lead of the gameearly in the second half when Meriggio¬li scored on a nice pass from Omiecins¬ki, but Norbert opened a five-pointadvantage on baskets by Emmerichand Dave Bradish to take control of thegame slowly.Emmerich led all scorers with 18points, while Libert had 16 for theMaroons. Libert also had nine re¬bounds. and Meriggioli six boards to gowith 10 points.RockefellerChapelFebruary 26,19849 a.m.Ecumenical Serviceof Holy Communion10 a.m.Discussion Class;"The Sermons ofMartin Luther King Jr.”11 a.m.University Religious ServiceBERNARDO.

Epstein reached the finals with a victoryover Roger McCann, while Bhagat handled BrianWaldman of Chamberlin in his semi-final match.In the women’s tournament Seena Chandrani ofSnell defeated Myra LaVenue of Upper Wallace totake the residence championship.Basketball suffered this week, as many teams for¬feited either due to lack of enthusiasm or impendingexams. Some teams, however, have sharpenedthemselves for the playoffs.The top two teams from each division will play inthe playoff tournament, which will begin the firstweek of spring quarter. Playoff brackets should beannounced by the end of tenth week, when the regu¬lar seasons have ended. Teams should be preparedto play as soon as classes resume in the spring.As far as men’s undergrad basketball goes, in theTuesday-Thursday-Friday league. Chamberlin ended Bishop’s playoff hopes with a 43-34 victory.Commutors barely escaped Fishbein, 30-25, and needto show more strength if they hope to take it all. Thisgame was their first tough one of the season, andthey almost blew it. All three contenders — Cham¬berlin, Fishbein, and Commutors — have a shot atmaking the playoffs.In the Monday-Wednesday-Friday league, Thomp¬son collected a couple of wins, over Happy Bunnies56-13 and over Bradbury 38-29. Their other wins in¬clude victories over powerful Fallers, and their onlyloss came at the hands of Henderson A in the firstgame of the year. Again, these three teams will fightit out for the two playoff berths.Upper Wallace assured themselves of a playoffspot in the women’s league, powerfully defeatingLynt 36-9. This team could surprise other teams inwhat is shaping up as a good women’s tournament.Several upcoming games will make or breakplayoff chances in the men’s league. Shorey plays asurprising, quick Tufts team Feb. 26, and then playsDodd/Mead for the divisional championship the fol¬lowing day. Chamberlin and Commutors, both undefeated,play tonight for a piece of the divisional champion¬ship,Salisbury tests FIJI on Feb. 26, and both teamsneed to win this game to keep any playoff chancesalive.Fallers A will play Henderson on Feb. 27 in an¬other important matchup. This will mark Hender¬son’s first tough game since the opener with fellowPierce tower rival Thompson House, and they need adecisive win here to make the playoffs.Finally, Goon Squad will play Charley’s Deep SeaDivers in a wrestling match on Feb. 27.In the graduate league, Bovver Boys get theirchance to prove themselves against strong All DayLong on Feb. 27 to decide the divisional champ.Spike’s Gang gets its first tough game of the sea¬son on Feb. 28 versus Boxing Oscar, and then followsthat with a struggle against Crimes Against Natureon March 1. Should they win both of these games,they would greatly increase their chances of winningthe All-University title.

Undefeated playersremained in the winner’s bracket of thedraw', while players who had lost oncemoved to the loser’s bracket.

After disposing of third place fin¬isher Kenny Bhatal of U of Illinois atChicago in the loser’s bracket final21-11, 21-11, Giblon came back to beatSadlon 21-17, 22-20 to leave both playerswith a single loss. In the best threegames out of five tiebreaker final, Gib¬lon, ranked #85 in his native Canada,used deceptive spinning serves and athird ball loop kill effectively to post aconvincing 2L-13, 22-17, 22-20 victory.In the women’s singles, Saldana, agraduate behavioral science student,won her first five matches but finishedthe double round robin with a deuce inthe third loss to the Northwestern Uwomen’s champ, leaving both playerswith 5-1 records. In the tiebreakerfinal, Saldana had just won the fourthgame to even the match at two gamesapiece when a controversy ensued re¬garding the strict enforcement of legalserves and the so-called “paddlepoint” rule. A new umpire was broughtin, and Saldana played aggressively to build a commanding lead, then hung onto take the deciding game 21-18. Thismarks the first time Saldana has takenthe title, after two previous attempts.Other U of C team members includedfourth year biology student FernandoCavero, intramural undergraduatewinner and former nationally rankedtennis player, w'ho lost a tough deuce inthe third winner’s bracket quarter¬final match to Kasimin Hamat of Mar¬quette U. Using a new and unfamiliarracket, Cavero still managed to sal¬vage a seventh place finish. PhuongVinh, a fourth year Pritzker medicalstudent, bowed to runner-up Sadlon inthe w inner’s bracket quarter-final, andeventually had to , settle for a ninthplace tie. Also finishing ninth was thirdyear biology student Birju Bhagat, in¬tramural undergraduate finalist andAll-University badminton winner, whodrew a tough first round opponent, butwon several matches once in theloser’s bracket.In men’s doubles play, Giblon andBhagat lost close matches to the even¬tual winners, U of Illinois’ Sadlon andBhatal, and to Kairin Amin and R.J.Chen of U of Wisconsin at Madison, tofinish third.
