— ■ r —The Chicago MaroonVolume 93, No. 48 The University of Chicago S Copyright 1984 The Chicago Maroon Friday, April 20, 1984New committee gets LCB back on scheduleBy Rosemary BlinnA new committee has beenformed in response to StudentActivities efforts “to deter¬mine who is responsible for theLascivous Costume Ball(LCB).”Despite extensive planningdelays, conflict, and rumors ofcancellation, the LCB will goon May 4 as scheduled. StudentGovernment Finance Commit¬tee (SGFC) Chair Rick Szesnyand Student Government Ac¬tivities Committee MemberJay Vogel head the new com¬mittee, formed without theknowledge of former LCBChair Larry Heller.Planning became a problem at the beginning of this quarterwhenHeller had not turned in abudget or plans for the LCB,nor created a registered stu¬dent organization to receiveSGFC money. Irene Conleythen wrote a letter to the Fi¬nance Committee saying,“Given the amount of work in¬volved (in planning the LCB), Ifeel pretty strongly that unlessbasic written plans are pre¬sented to me within the nexttwo weeks, the^event should becancelled.”She continued in the letter,which was addressed specif¬ically to Szesny, to say, “I amreluctant to push on this, Rick,but I have been unsuccessful in my efforts to determine who istaking responsibility for theLCB.”The following Monday,Heller met with somemembers of the SGFC Execu¬tive Committee who asked himwhat he was doing with theLCB. Heller said Szesnyclaimed to have a letter of res¬ignation from him but thatSzesny flatly denied knowingof it at that meeting. “I’m rea¬sonably sure that Rick toldErick (Primack, who was onthe LCB committee) that therewas a letter of resignation.”Heller alleged, Szesny said,“rumors about him havingquit were unfounded.” Heller also met with IreneConley that day and agreed tohave a budget and plans to herwithin a week. The next Mon¬day, Heller held a meeting to“find people who would tie uploose ends,” in planning. Hestill had not presented plans toeither Conley or SGFC,though, and so SGFC voted toappropriate funds to Szesny toset up a committee and carryout the LCB planning.Vogel, who agreed to workwith Szesny after the MondaySGFC meeting, said of thetakeover, “We couldn’t waitany longer. If we waited for thebudget until one week before(the LCB), it would be ridicu- Larry Hellerlous to try to pull if off.”Szesny said he was reluctantto take over the LCB. observ-continued on page 16on the north side of 53rd Street at Dorchester.CCC debates future of YMCA lot Uradnik nabs TrumanBy Hilary TillThe Hyde Park-KenwoodConservation CommunityCouncil (CCC) discussed theproposed redesignation ofproperty formerly owned bythe YMCA Wednesday.The meeting, held in aclassroom in the LutheranSchool of Theology, at timesbecame testy and more oftenbecame very technical, andended inconclusively withoutan apparent vote on the pro¬posal. Wednesday night’s ses¬sion was the fifth meeting bythe CCC on the proposal.At issue is the request by de¬velopers to redesignate theformer YMCA properties at53rd and Dorchester from in¬stitutional to commercial des¬ignation. The Y properties inquestion are on both sides ofthe street.Because the Y properties areurban renewal lands, anychange in designation must beinitiated by the CCC, which iscomposed of 15 local residentsappointed by the mayor. Thefinal approval for redesigna¬tion of urban renewal lands isin the hands of the ChicagoCity Council. At Wednesday’s meeting thedevelopers unveiled alteredplans for their proposed proj¬ect on the north lot of the Yproperty. One real estate rep¬resentative of the developerssaid that the original planswere changed to make theproject more agreeable to thecommunity. During the lastCCC meeting in March, “con¬siderable neighborhood pro¬test was voiced,” about theirplans, according to one report.The developers currently envi¬sion a community of shopslayed out similarly to the wayHarper Square is. Thirty-sixparking spaces on the lot areplanned. The developers alsodiscussed their plan for thesouth lot of the Y properties,mainly to keep it as a parkinglot.The reaction of both commu¬nity members and local lead¬ers attending the meeting wasmixed. Several people livingnear the former Y propertieswere very worried about poss¬ible traffic congestion andparking problems that couldresult from the business proj¬ect. Yet the moderator of themeeting, Edwin Rothchild of CCC, said that there was noth¬ing that really could be doneabout Hyde Park's perennialparking problem.Russ Lathrop, a former fifthWard alderman, spoke in favorof the project and the redesig¬nation at the CCC’s open meet¬ing. He said that the develop¬ers’ plans have been changedfor the better by the meet¬ings.Michael Murphy, the execu¬tive director of the South EastChicago Commission, gavequalified support for the proj¬ect. After the meeting he said.“The idea of a commercialspace that would serve thecommunity is excellent.” Theproblem, he said, is withproper implementation of theproject. It is, though, “a step inthe right direction,” headded.Because the real estate de¬velopers gave sketchy detailsabout their plans for a buildingadjacent to the north lot prop-continued on page 16A fire which started in anelectrical cord caused minordamage to a Woodward Courtroom early Thursday morning.The room’s occupants awokeand pulled the alarm at about 6a m. when one of the mat¬tresses in the room had caughtfire.

April 20, 1984 -3LETTERSGays at the U of C: not universally acceptedTo the editor:Despite what you may have read inTuesday’s Maroon, Gay and LesbianAwareness Fortnight was an over¬whelming success for the gay commu¬nity. First GALA got five new servantsin the persons of the new SG officers.These men and women will continuethe SG's record of unabashed supportfor GALA, and while it will be difficultfor them to match the present SG's re¬cord of obsequiousness on all occa¬sions, they’ll probably manage.GALA members can also be gleefulover the administration's decision toadd a “sexual orientation” clause to itsnon-discrimination policy, a movewhich had been pushed by GALA andthe SG. The ostensible reason for this isthat it will eliminate any present dis¬crimination against gays, and detersuch behavior in the future. This argu¬ment is flimsy because last quarterGALA representative J.T. Kittredgeadmitted that there is currently no dis¬crimination against gays. Although afew' acts of intolerance by studentshave occurred recently, it is ludicrousto think that the Universitv itself will ever take or condone such actions.After all, the University is alreadyusing student funds for GALA socialevents.It is also abundantly clear that theUniversity doesn’t look upon gay appli¬cants with a jaundiced eye: one evenwonders if the admission committeedoesn’t practice reverse discrimina¬tion against people with traditionalsexual inclinations. Even DOC filmsseems eager to move homosexualityfrom the closet to the big screen.The gays then aren’t trying to re¬medy actual discrimination. Their realpurpose is explained by Mr. Kittredge:“We need the message that we arefully accepted.”Well, Mr. Kittredge, let me say onbehalf of myself and other members ofthe University community that you arenot fully accepted. We accept the factthat you exist, we accept the fact thatyou are protected by the Constitutionjust as we are, but we see no reason tocreate new rights especially for youwhen there is no evidence of past dis¬crimination. Many of us consider yourbehavior morally reprehensible andwe see no reason for the Universitv toHostility exaggeratedTo the editor :1 too objected to the vandalism lastFriday night upon the banner. Vandal¬ism of any form is a reprehensible actwhich should at no time be condonedYet, Tuesday’s Maroon exaggeratedthis destruction and two other incidentsthis weekend, making this universityseem more hostile to the gay communi¬ty than it really is.The banners which hang over thatwalkway close to the Administrationbuilding have been torn down by van¬dals (or the wind) many times in mytwo years at this school, but never be¬fore has the Maroon made this a head¬line.The incident at Burton-Judson Courtswas not even directed toward GALAmembers. They simply had placedtheir posters on the outside doors lead¬ing into the dining hall where none is al¬lowed. As vice president of Burton-Jud¬son Council I myself and a friend cameand took them down. The only reasonthat this became an ‘incident’ was be¬ cause some of the people involved withGALA’S question and answer sessioncame out and one of them began a dia¬tribe on how GALA was a legitimate or¬ganization and we should stop what wewere doing. Seeing he was so certainthat he was right, as he would not let ussay anything, and that my friend w'asbecoming angry because of this, weleft. At no time did we throw anythingat anyone.So the only unusual action directedagainst GALA the whole of last week¬end amounted to two people who insult¬ed some students at a potluck dinner,hardly front page news.The University administration andthe Maroon seem to have the attitudethat the Hyde Park gay community isin constant danger of large scale perse¬cution by other members of this univer¬sity and that anything remotely anti-gav must be deait with by a publishedoutcry or this minority will have nochance for response. At the same time,continued on page 14What sense of values?To the editor:Having torn down GALA’S banner, astudent says:“We were quite upset that some¬thing that controversial was dis¬played before the University, par¬ticularly during a weekend inwhich prospective students werevisiting. We thought there was noopportunity for rebuttal to theirsense of values.”Since when is homesexuality avalue? If it is, why shouldn’t pros¬pective students be exposed to it? Is theexistence of gays and lesbians at U of Csuch a controversial matter, or such adeep dark secret that prospective stu¬ dents shouldn’t hear about it untilthey’ve paid their fall tuition bills?I think that prospective studentsshould encounter the U of C’s values,values such as reasoned dialogue andtolerance for other lifestyles and pointsof view. What kind of an impression dopeople make who view tearing dowm abanner as rebuttal’ to something? Whosee a ‘sense of values’ as somethingopen to rebuttal?Of course, the anonymous vandalsare people who would shield pros¬pective students from an issue by doingsomething guaranteed to put the issueon the front page of the Maroon One ofmv favorite U of C values is clear think¬ing.Roger LustigHumanities DivisionThe Chicago MaroonThe Chicago Maroon is the official student newspaper of the University of Chicago.

April 2u. condone it: it is up to you to look aftervour prestige.Anyway, why must the Universitycodify all the bases on which it does notdiscriminate? Such a list would becumbersome. An extreme of this logicwould require that all fundraising let¬ters to alumni say “The University ofChicago does not discriminate againstthose persons who practice bestiali¬ty.”This raises several relevant ques¬tions. First, would the SG fund a besti¬ality club? Does any sexual perversionqualify one for SG funding, or must onefirst promise to sell utterly tastelessand revolting t-shirts? Or are our ac¬tivities fees reserved for more impor¬tant things like buying cocaine for rockbands, supplying guest speakers forCAUSE, and, of course, lending GALAmoney for their buttons?Second, what would happen if a con¬servative, non-political group — say, agroup which advocated traditionalfamily values — received SG funding0You know as well as 1 that the liberalswould be quoting Thoreau and refusingto pay their activity fees quicker thanvou can sav "civil disobedience.” Despite the administration’s policychange, the suddenly fastidious GALAmembers remain unimpressed. GALAvice-president Irwin Keller says “Weare pleased by this first step, but it isnot enough .” 1 applaud him for re¬fraining from calling it a “giant leapfor gavkind,” but I suspect that thisphrase will come into play in the futureif the administration decides to go allthe way and include the “sexual orien¬tation” clause on all its literature. Thisoccurrence certainly won’t be impededby the SG, which seems as likely tostand up to GALA as Walter Mondale isto stand up to Jesse Jackson. Unfortun¬ately, the U of C student body is unlike¬ly to do what the American people willdo in November: say “no” to a wimp.Keller further argues that the U of Cshould have this policy because manyother schools — notably Harvard andYale — do. This gives up the chance tobolster our reputation as a pathbreak¬ing school. Instead of blindly followingthe Ivy League, let the University ofChicago go down as the school whichwouldn’t pander to the gays.Russ MillerDOUBLEKNITtlNOR* AN,WOU CANTncEEP A 'L yooR.

What if we hadan organization of white students?.”Questions of this nature are all simi¬lar.Gay alliances, black organizationsand women’s movements exist as a re¬action to discrimination against thegroups they each represent. These or¬ganizations try to develop a sense of solidarity in their members by bring¬ing them together with others likethemselves with similar feelings andexperiences with others who stand forthe same ideals they do. They organizeto fight for their common interests. Ifopportunities (and other things) werein fact equal, or if these groups felt theywere equal, their need to organizewould cease to exist.If anyone can make a better, morecogent argument for this case, I hopethey will make it public. Questions likethe ones streaming through campusare backed by an attitude which hasbeen standing in the way of progress.On a campus like this one, intellectuali-sm and bigotry should not reign hand inhand.Newton Hallstudent in the college.Clearly naive thinkingTo the editor:I applaud the sentiments whichprompted those concerned individualswho tore down GALA’S Gay Awarenessbanner only hours after it was raised;that is, a desire to protect the “sense ofvalues” of prospective students. As Iread them, their intention was tosmoothen the prospies’ transition to anew school. This is a noble aim. Notmany of us have taken it upon our¬selves to reach out like that to newmembers of the U of C community.And how many of us would reach out sogenerously if we knew we were openingourselves to charges of vandalism,theft, undue harassment, and suppres¬sion of free speech7Unfortunately, these well-inten¬tioned persons have probably defeatedtheir own purposes. Without benefit ofthe GALA banner, some of those pro¬spies may have their “sense of values”outraged next fall when they arrive tofind that the U of C, like any samplingof the larger human population, has ahomosexual sub-group. What’s more,gays on this campus are visible andvocal, another fact that prospies should be made aware of. The “Wel¬come Wagon” would have done pros¬pective students a better turn if theyhad helped to publicize Gay AwarenessFortnight. In this way, the gay menacecould have been shown to our visitorsfor what it is. There’s a lot of pious talkthrown around in universities about“tolerance,” “diversity,” and the civi¬lized exchange of ideas, and gays at theU of C, in brazen self-interest that theydon’t even bother to disguise, interpretthis stuff to be some kind of code of fairconduct that extends to the thoughts,actions, lives of those who participatein the intellectual exchanges here.This is clearly naive thinking, andsomething of which prospective stu¬dents should stand forewarned. Toobad the vandals didn’t leave the sign inplace. That way their fellow-thinkersamong the prospies could have matri¬culated at some other school wherepeople don’t take the language ofhuman rights so literally.Tom MetzGraduate Student inthe Humanities IIirrrrT] IfARTTn ( &I=>44; * lygutjFM us !mt ALTf RNAHVES, MAN • ..To** PARTIES, BEACH!«T)£S ...

Yes,that’s right, the issue with the articlewritten by David Fischer: “My FirstYear.” The tone of this particular ar¬ticle reminded me of a cocker spaniel Ionce owned. Rover would roll at myfeet, whine for his supper and then pro¬ceed to mount my leg as I poured outthat dog food which he loved so much.“No, down Rover, I’m not Fi Fi!” Like¬wise: no David Fischer, this is not aca¬demia’s El Dorado!Earlier this year I too was infectedwith a great whimpering awe of theUniversity of Chicago. All of those bro¬chure cliches danced like visions in myhead and spilled uncontrollably frommy mouth. “Intellectually stimulat¬ing,” “elitist education,” and “chal¬lenging” filled the pages of my lettersto the folks back home. But now, al¬though the cliches still have a ring oftruth to them, experience has stainedmy vision of an academic Garden ofEden.“Do you mean that it isn’t as great asthe brochure says it is! ” the awestruckfreshman asked. Yes, reality stalks theU of C students in harsher ways than shopping. The phantom of our discon¬tent comes as poor lab equipment, bot¬tles and bricks thrown by ghettodwellers, students forced into a para¬noid seige mentality, a very poor male-female radio, long tedious hours study¬ing. a constant lack of sleep, mountingpressures and frustrations, etc. Theserealitites leave a sour taste: a harshbitterness in the cup of knowledge.Unlike David Fischer, I miss the lit¬tle touches of normality : the talk aboutnext Friday’s football match and “thegossip about the cute blonde cheer¬leader.” I miss sitting on the lawn for afew carefree, unpressured momentswith some friends. I ask you: must webe academic puritans and banish thesefine touches from academia to main¬tain a “stimulating academic atmo¬sphere?” I hope not. Life continueseven in academia. And, as it is a part oflife it is imperfect. I would warn Can-dide to think again before proclaimingthat this is the best of all possibleworlds. The disgusting habits of mydog Rover have no place at the Univer¬sity of Chicago. Jonathan W. ColeFirst-year student in the College ERA, abortion unrelated issuesTo the editor:I would like to respond to the chargemade by John T. Noonan, professor oflegal history at the University of Cali-fornia-Berkeley, that the “proposedERA would ‘lock’ legal subsidizedabortions into federal law,” as report¬ed by the Maroon (4-17-84). This asser¬tion reminds me of the time when anIllinois legislator told me that he wasagainst the Equal Rights Amendmentbecause under the ERA, a man couldmarry his horse. I wonder if Noonanwould agree with that contention.The proposed Equal Rights Amend¬ment would ensure that “equality ofrights under the law shall not be deniedor abridged., on account of sex.” Here.I am just quoting from the text of theshort, 52-word proposed amendment.How can the ERA possibly be tied toabortion when the proposed amend¬ ment only covers equality of rights (be¬tween the sexes under the law)? Now ifmen could get pregnant and have abor¬tions, then the ERA would be relevantto abortion issues. The ERA would thenguarantee that all laws concerningabortion were gender-blind, in otherwords, it would not make abortionlegal or illegal, subsidized or unsubsi¬dized; it would just ensure that underwhatever laws were on the books, menand women would receive the sametreatment. Ah, but men cannot getpregnant, so the issue of federallyfunded abortions is quite apart fromthe ERA.If the (federal) ERA is so intimatelytied to “abortion on demand.” then Iwonder why states that have ERA’S intheir constitutions do not have so-called “abortion-on-demand” prob¬lems.Hilarv TillDEMONizeTo the editor :One wonders if the CARE partywould have won the recent SG electionshad it not misrepresented DEMON tograduate students. We do know that anunprecedented graduate turnoutswayed the outcome of the election inCARE’s favor. However, we will neverbe able to say for sure that the reasonfor this was the misleading postersdistributed to these graduate studentsby CARE representatives.What we can correctly say is thatalmost half of the voting studentpopulation, without the misinformationof erroneous posters, chose DEMON.This, to me. implies a clear mandate to CAREthe CARE party: make our’s a “kick-ass student government.”A large portion of the voting studentsappear to be tired of spending their col¬lege years on a relatively boring,relatively miserable, graduate cam¬pus. The students here (grads andundergrads) study hard and they wantto be able to play hard as well. CAREshould realize this, DEMONize. and trycreating the environment, the energy,and the fun typical of most (well, atleast some) university campuses. Weknow it won’t be easy, but we surewould like for CARE to try.Newton HallGeorge StiglerCapital punishment ineffectiveTo the editor:In your “Stigler evaluates econom¬ics” story (page 1. April 13) you baldlystate, without attribution, that “statis¬tics show that there have been 7-8 lessmurders due to every execution.”Whose statistics'7 There have beennumerous studies of the murder rateand capital punishment. None of thestudies are conclusive. Some of themost penetrating work in this area hasbeen done by Hanz Zeisel of this Uni¬versity’s law school. Zeisel’s studies,comparing murder rates over time in states with and without capital punish¬ment, strongly suggest that state sanc¬tioned killing does not curb murder.Presumably, Stigler himself madethis doubtful statistical claim. It shouldat least have been attributed and notpresented as simply the truth. A goodreporter would have probed further tofind the basis for such a bogus assump¬tion. Statistics may suggest patterns.But they don’t prove causation.Bill LazarusStudent in the Law SchoolJackson campaign gives hope for black justiceTo the editor:This letter is in response to BurtRosen’s letter in the April 13 Maroon. Itis sad to see that Mr. Rosen is totallyblind to the significance of the Jacksoncampaign and I am angered by some ofhis ridiculous remarks. Rosen differen¬tiates between Dr. Martin Luther Kingand Jesse Jackson but that is the limitof his perception. Martin Luther Kingstruggled for political equality forblacks and gained the respect and sym¬pathy of the rest of the nation and in¬deed the world. He did NOT achievethis goal by trying to ELEVATE blacksand other minorities to the level ofwhites, as Mr. Rosen states. What acondescending statement! Since whenhave whites been “higher” than blacks- and in what way? What 1 hope Mr.Rosen meant to say was that King pur¬sued his struggle within the bounds of ademocratic society and did not “of¬fend” the sensibilities of the predomin¬ately white middle-class culture that dominates this country and that Mr.Rosen sees as so much “higher”.Mr. Jackson is not approaching theproblem of black inequality all wrong.While Mr. King fought for and gainedpolitical equality, economic and socialjustice for blacks let alone equalityhave yet to be attained. This difficulttask has fallen onto the shoulders ofpeople like Jackson and other blackleaders. Mr. Rosen does not appreciatethis and 1 suppose that he is content tolet the dominant culture of this societycarry on as usual without giving blackstheir share of economic and social jus¬tice? Change is not going to occur with¬out at least some leadership from the black community (i.e. Jesse Jackson)constantly reminding you and me of thegrave inequalities and injustice facingthe blacks in America.Mr. Rosen goes on to say that, “Jack-son wants the Blacks to surpass the‘status quo’ of today’s non-discriminat-cd against whites. He doesn’t want to see them equal.” This is utterly incom¬prehensible rubbish. Rosen then re¬marks that Jackson's cry at MayorHarold Washington’s victory celebra¬tion — “we want it all” — does not referto the whole human race. Rosen simplyoutwits himself here. The “we want itall” refers simply to BLACK aspira¬tions after a hard-fought victoryagainst generations of injustice: noth¬ing more, nothing less. Jackson had noteven announced his candidacy for thepresidency and his Rainbow Coalitionhad yet to come out of the mist. Yes Mr.Rosen, the “we” at that victory cele¬bration did not include his “Hymie”friends; it was never intended to doso.What really infuriated me wasRosen’s slur against the people of Ni¬caragua in lieu of Jackson’s trip there.Rosen states, “Why any Americanpresidential candidate would want toventure into a country which we shouldhave invaded and leveled a long time ago. is beyond me.” It is certainlybeyond you Mr. Rosen — not even theReagan administration has been so cal¬lous. Jackson’s “Hymie” remark is noreason for you. Mr. Rosen, to advocatethe destruction of a country’ of severalmillions of people — you certainly don'texpect blacks to want to be “elevated”to your level? In fact Mr. Rosen lowershimself to the level of a certain group ofpeople who advocated invading and le¬veling countries forty years ago in Ger¬many. I hope Mr Rosen will be willingto volunteer himself for the invasionand leveling of Nicaragua — has it oc¬curred to him that there are actuallyreal people in Nicaragua or must theytoo be “elevated” to the level of whitemiddle-class America?I deeply resent Rosen’s statementthat “Jackson’s race for the presi¬dency, excuse the pun. is no more thana cheap exploitation of his color.” No, 1won’t excuse the pun.

April 20. 1984Campus sees dramatic theatre groups increaseBy Edward HernstadtThis is the first of two articlesabout theatre groups on campus.Two years ago the University ofChicago was home to Blackfriars andthe Court Studio, the former thetraditional, successful, and popularhome of musical comedy, and thelatter the small but fading studentassociate of the newly professionalCourt Theatre. Today the situtation isLisa Marquette of Blackfriars.very different. Court Studio hasvanished, but its death, or at least thelacuna its disappearance caused, hastriggered an explosion of new dramaclubs on campus. The ConcreteGothic Theatre Group formed in thefall quarter of 1982, and last quartertwo additional groups - The BasicTheatre Co. and The Other TheatreCo. - put up their first shows. From aperiod of severely limited opportunities to see student drama, orfor that matter, drama on the southside, U.C. students can now view anew production nearly every week ofthe term.Blackfriars is the oldest campusdramatic group, nearly as old as theUniversity itself. It started about 1898as an all male organization putting onoriginal student musicals. The groupdisbanded for ten years aroundW.W.II - musical comedy and war,evidently, were not consideredcompatible - and when they reformedin the 50’s, women were included.Blackfriars produces two showsevery year, one in the fall quarterand one in the spring. “Blackfriars isalmost an institution than a dramagroup,” Lisa Marquette, the groupscurrent Abbess, said. Even the names given to the club’s officersexemplifies the air of tradition whichsurrounds the group; the president isthe Abbot or Abbess, and other titlesfollow accordingly - Prior or prioress,Keeper of the Jewels, Scribe, andChamberlain. These names are cute,yes, but more, they are evidence ofthe group’s history, of their ties toyears of well-produced musicals.The tradition of student writtenplays has been a difficult one tocontinue. “We would like to dooriginal works,” Marquette said, “butnot too many people are willing towrite them. It’s a lot of work to writea score and a book.” Two years ago,though, both productions were studentcreated. Publish or Perish was arevival of an earlier play, but thespring production. All's Fair, wasnew, evidently inspired by the Fallshow. “We are thinking of revivinganother older show.” Marquette said,“and maybe someone else will getexcited enough to write a new play.”The air at Blackfriars, thephilosophy, if you will, is one more offun than seriousness. “W’e are veryserious about the quality of ourproductions,” Marquette said. “Theshow is pretty much all you thinkabout. We want it to be entertaining,but professional.” But it isentertainment that they are after.“We don’t worry too much aboutaudiences - everyone knows who we- are and what we provide.” Marquetteadded. “They know that the plays weput on are not heavy drama,’ butquality fun, and we work as hard aswe can to make sure they’re showsworth the audience’s time andmoney.”The traditional schedule the groupenjoys eases planning somewhat. “Weknow what kind of play we’re going todo, and when, so that makes choosinga play a little simpler,” Marquettesaid. But the process has changed. “Originally we would get togetherand say ‘okay, what play should wedo’. We’re a little more precise now,though.” A director will propose aplay to the board with as muchaccompanying material as possible -script, score, possible arrangements,blocking, etc. - and the board decideson it. “We have to be careful what wepick," Marquette explained, “wehave problems with certain thingsWe could never do West Side Story.for example, because there is toomuch dancing, and it is too difficult -we simply don’t have enough dancerswith that kind of skill. We also haveto be careful that the music isn’t toocomplicated to sing or requires toolarge an orchestra.’’ The size of theproduction is also a factor. “We wantit to be big enough that a lot of peoplecan participate - The Fantasticks. forexample, is a great play, but thereare just too few characters.”Blackfriars is undergoing otherchanges. “We had some trouble withKiss Me Kate," Marquette explained,“because we didn't know enough. Thepast few years there were two orthree capable people who took care ofeverything. When I came in I didn'treally know what to do, and almosteveryone eise was new. So now webring in assistants everywhere to helpout and to learn what’s going on.”The knowledge is being shared out asthe productions go on.PHOTO BY ARTHUR U ELLISEmballage Perdu: music with a French twistBy Rosemary BlinnEmballage Perdu plays music thatis hard to define but which reallyrelfects a mix of cultural andeducational experiences.This French group, which willperform at I-House on Saturday night,is not a “jazz-rock” group accordingto band member GileMichaud-Bonnet. Rather, they playjazzy instrumental pieces with aFrench-African influence.The band hails from Besancon, asmall city in Eastern France, wherethe original members met five yearsago. There are now five members —Susan Severson on keyboards, LeaBarbier on bass guitar, GileMichaud-Bonnet on saxophone andflute, and Bertrand Boss and MauelWandji on drums and percussion.Their musical education rangesfrom Bonnet who studied flute for tenyears and Severson who had classicpiano training to the leader, Barbier,who is mostly autodidactic.Unlike US groups that copy awell-known singer to fill aperformance when just starting out,Emballage Perdu plays strictlyoriginal music. This is normal forFrench concert groups, althoughdance bands sometimes copy anothermusician’s work. “You wouldn’t go toa concert and have a group doreplays of other songs. You go to aconcert to see something original,”Severson said.Still trying to pinpoint what hergroup plays, Severson continued,“Each piece sort of reflects a certainatmosphere or a story. It’s more asort of a narrative music - the kind ofmusic that uses different elements ”Some of the group’s songs include“An Homage to Tex Avery,”“Cirrhosis”, and others The groups songs are “sordid”according to Severson. She cautions,however, that the group is not likeChick Corea or other soloists. Thegroup feels strongly about workingtogether. “We’re not trying to bevirtuosos,” she said of theirteamwork. She continued, “There’simprovising but it’s not a series ofsolos.”Other countries have influencedFrench music to a large extent,Severson observed. “There’s a lot ofbasic influences on the whole countrylike a lot from England. Rock is themain wave at the moment.”However, Emballage Perdu hasinfluences coming from Africa as wellbecause one of the drummers is fromthere.Because their music does not fallinto one specific category, they havea difficulty singing with a label,entering festival, and gettinggovernment funding. The group madea professional tape a few years agowhich has not been widely distributedand they are hoping to make anotherwhich would have more success in thefuture.Bertrand Boss said that the FrenchSocialist government has gottenbetter about funding the arts. Still,Severson said that governmentalfunding is not always good becausethe governments then usually wantsome control over the group.Emballage Perdu’s music hasgotten more “professional” over theyears but Severson also said theyhave been touring more which meansthey can’t do as much on creatingnew songs. “It’s been more difficultto compose,” she explained.Along with their concert,Emballage Perdu will be holdingquestion and answer sessions inFrench classes The members of the band understand English well buthave noticed that American studentshaven’t learned to speak French wellSeverson said, “Here, I’m hopingthat maybe the students will have astrong enough level of French toreally be able to get into some moreinteresting subjects because actuallythe visiting we’ve done hasn’t gonemuch beyond ‘where are you from’etc, etc.” Touring the US is unusual for aFrench group though. Seversonadded. “From a Frenchman'sstandpoint, it’s pretty exceptional tocome to the United States - we don’tknow of hardly anyone who’s donethat.”The U of C is the last of six highschool and college stops onEmballage Perdu’s tour. They visitedthe University of Wisconsin. KnoxEmballage PerduThe group got their idea to tour theUnited States both because Seversonis originally from Chicago and since,“We toured a couple of campuses inSwitzerland which reminded me ofthe American campuses. I thought itwould be interesting to try it.” College and North Central College aswell.Severson claims the concert willmost likely be a new experience forthose who attend. “1 think people arestarving for something that's new;that isn’t necessarily new wave,” sheadded.The Chicago Maroon -Friday. April 20. 1984 —7Murat Williams: ambassador to El SalvadorLast week the US ambassador to El Salvador,1961-1963. visited the University, sponsored by theCenter For Latin American Studies. Mr. Murat Wil¬liams was interviewed by Bob Holden, a graduatestudent in Latin American history, and David Post,who studies Comparative Education.Holden: Looking back over the past twenty yearsor so, it seems that the US is once again poised on thebrink of making war on a small peasant nation, nineyears after losing one such war. How do you accountfor the US being unable to learn the lessons of Viet¬nam?Williams: It is particularly difficult for our presentadministration to learn those lessons because it hasbuilt its policy on a view that all problems in theworld today come from East/West confrontation. It’sgood politics for people who believe in demonology,who want to get votes by scaring the people withsome demon that they, like St. George, can kill, somedevil or dragon. It’s good politics for them to build upthat illusion. It’s a false idea, of course, that the prob¬lems of Central America come from East/West con¬frontation. Since they believe so firmly in this, theywon’t learn the lessons of Vietnam. These are indige¬nous problems, and must have indigenousk solu¬tions.... The troubles of Central America, and specif¬ically El Salvador, go back long before the RussianRevolution, and before Karl Marx ever went to theBritish Museum, and certainly before Fidel Castrowas born. These are old stories.Post: Mr. Williams, you bring to this topic, somuch in the news media recently, more depth andperspective than younger people have. Could you re¬flect back over the last twenty years and tell us aboutyour own experience since the early 1960s. Tell usabout some of the continuities and discontinuitiesyou've seen in El Salvador.Williams: With pleasure, but I must go back morethan twenty years to my first connections in CentralAmerica in 1946, when I was a desk officer in El Sal¬vador and Guatemala.... I wrote a letter home to mymother in 1948. ’48, mind you, saying that the trou¬bles in the country are so serious (and I rememberthe phrasing) that with 95% of the wage earners —not the population, but the wage earners — gettingless than $1 a day, there was a great deal of anxietyon my part over what would happen when the explo¬sion came one day. Our ambassador wrote a letter tothe Secretary of State at the same time saying that somany people live at bare subsistence that El Salva¬dor was a fertile seedbed for communism. Thirty-sixyears ago. I went back in 1961. 62. and 63. I was ap¬pointed by Kennedy. Kennedy, and the people whoadvised him. had begun to realize the explosive na¬ture of the social and economic problems of the area,and to realize that something had to be done. Weshould also give credit to Eisenhower because in hislast years, particularly after Richard Nixon’s nearlyfatal trip to Latin America, he sent his brother, Mil-ton Eisenhower, to see what was going on. By Ken¬nedy’s time a program had evolved which becamethe Alliance for Progress. I know that many peopletoday belittle the Alliance for Progress. But in placeswhere it was taken seriously, a great deal wasachieved. We tried to do things that Latinos thoughtshould be done. They were not our programs: we didnot try to impose our voting machines or anythinglike that. We let them work out goals, in education,health, housing, industry, and agriculture. Becauseof Kennedy’s influence, the military was entirely de¬voted to carrying out these goals. President Julio Ri¬vera, who was a military man, was completely cap¬tivated by John F. Kennedy. They met in Costa Rica.We helped El Salvador in trying to develop cheapschools, schools with at least the essentials. And wedid help them build a good many of these schoolsaround the country. The oligarchy — the fourteenfamilies — objected. They didn’t like our program,and one of them, a man worth $60 to 100 million, whobuilt a beautiful palace, full of French impressionist protested to me. And because I didn’t say, “oh yes,it’s a mistake, I know how hard it’s going to be foryou,” because I didn’t sympathize with them, theycalled me a communist. And they sent a delegation toWashington to find out if the administration reallyknew what a communist it had as ambassador. Theywere really shocked to find out that the State Depart¬ment was behind me.Holden: But it sounds like you’re saying the Alli¬ance for Progress couldn’t work, considering the op¬position from the oligarchy.Williams: It could have worked because the mili-...Because Ithize with them,a communist.Murat Williams photo by veronica kottary. in that time, were convinced of the necessity ofits reforms, largely because Kennedy had convincedthem. I’ll tell you why it didn’t work. It was becausethere were a number of officials and diplomats whohad been completely seduced by the wealthy fami¬lies. These families provided most of the informationthey had about El Salvador. In 1963, it so happened,that I was coming back from consultation in Wash¬ington and I stopped in Mexico City to see the US Am¬bassador, Thomas C. Mann. He had been in El Sal¬vador some years before me. “You're making a bigmistake,” he said, “in not cooperating with the four¬teen families because, after all Murat, they have thepower.” I said, “But they’re not for our programs!”Well, after Kennedy was assassinated, you knowwhat happened. Lyndon Johnson put Thomas C.Mann in charge of our Latin American programs andthe enthusiasm went out of the Alliance.Post: You describe the military as a fairly pro¬gressive force in El Salvador. What happened?Williams: As long as the Kennedy influence contin¬ued, the military considered there was a point in thereforms of the Alliance. Although they’d been accus¬tomed to cooperation with the fourteen families, theyknew that reform had to come. But in the Johnsonadministration there developed considerable con¬cern about Castro’s infiltratin in Central America. Imyself objected very strongly to the size of our mili¬I myself objected very stron¬gly to the size of our militarymission in El Salvador.paintings, said to a reporter from The WashingtonPost: “The Americans are making a great mistakein El Salvador in building all these schools, becauseour economy won’t support them.” This is a man of$60 million wealth! Our economy won’t support edu¬cation. If they’d put a small tax on him he might havesupported quite a number of schools. That was theattitude of the very wealthy. They objected to theminimum wage law. When the law of a minimum onedollar-a-day wage was enacted they all came and tary mission in El Salvador. It was too big, too obvi¬ous, and it gave the wrong impression of the UnitedStates. We had more men in our air force missionthan there were pilots in the Salvadoran Air Force.The response to my request was a long time coming,and when I next went to Washington I asked whatwas being done toward reducing our military mis¬sion. One of the young under-secretaries said, “ohyes, we received your request, but you know it’s hardfor us to do anything about it here, since the Penta¬ gon wouldn’t like the idea.” Well, in the last fewyears we’ve sent a billion dollars in military aid to ElSalvador, and it is utterly futile. We’ve been trainingtheir army since 1945, but you can’t take the kind ofrank-and-file soldier in the Salvadoran army, boys 15years old who are grabbed off the street with theirthumbs tied behind their backs, you can’t take themto Ft. Benning or Ft. Bragg, give them twenty min¬utes of civics a day for six weeks, and expect them toknow what they’re fighting for. They have no stake inthe system. Military aid is futile, and it’s time we un¬derstood that.didn’t sympa-they called meHolden: What do you think we should do then?Williams: We stop that military aid. We emphasizediplomatic solutions and negotiations. We have anopportunity to do something for a diplomatic solutionbv taking full advantage, and not just giving lip ser¬vice, to the Contadora Group. The Panamanians, Co¬lombians, Mexicans, and Venezuelans understandthe Central American problem much better than wedo. We must encourage them in their negotiation. An¬other thing we must do is to rely more on internation¬al aid organizations, the World Bank, the Interna¬tional Monetary Fund, and the Inter-AmericanDevelopment Bank. Those organizations have muchbetter understanding of Central American problemsthan do most of our AID people, and from the stand¬point of the recipient country it’s much easierk to ac¬cept aid from international organizations.Holden: But if the US cut off military aid then the/guerillas would win, and that’s something the Rea¬gan administration can not accept.Williams: The guerillas are indeed outshining theregular armed forces of El Salvador. There’s onlyone thing that will prevent them from winning even¬tually, and that is sending our own forces into activecombat. However, if we hasten to promote concilia¬tory efforts, there will be a better chance for a decentsociety emerging from El Salvador. We've got lessand less time to do it. Carlos Fuentes has said thatthe longer a solution is postponed the more radical itwill be. A solution is possible. You probably knowsome of the FDR (Democratic Revolutionary Front)people, and if you know the ones I know then youknow they are people whose ideask are not so muchMarxist as they are American revolutionary. Wemake a mistake in giving Marx credit for the desireof these people to improve their society.Holden: What should be done to change US policyin El Salvador?Williams: I asked Henry Steele Commanger thatnot long ago, and he said we should elect a new gov¬ernment in Washington. But that’s not an easy an¬swer.Post: Mr Williams, if everything you’re saying istrue, then how can you explain the overwhelmingturnout of voters in last month’s election?Williams: Voting is compulsory. They’ve got tohave their identification papers stamped, and thearmed forces could stop any one and demand to seetheir cards. It is a terrorized population. Sure they’llstand in line to vote: they’re afraid not to.Post: Do you truly believe it would be too danger¬ous for leftists or moderates to participate in theseelections, as they have claimed?Williams: To me the answer is very clear in theexperience of my friend Enrique Alvarez. I hadlunch with Alvarez in Washington in the summer of1980, when he was chairman of the FDR. He wasthere visiting friends. He made so much sense to meI told him he ought to go talk to the State Depart¬ment. He said that they refused to see him. When hereturned to El Salvador he went to a press confer¬ence, on church property, at San Jose de la Montana,and on the way he was captured by governmentforces. He was tortured, mutilated, killed, and hisbody dumped by the side of the road, along with fiveother of his colleagues. After that experience itseemed that Guillermo Ungo and Ruben Zamorrawould face the same fate.Post: In the last few days, world attention has beenfocused on the C.I.A. mining of Nicaraguan har¬bours. Do you see any justified rationale for this ac¬tion?Williams: No. As the New York Times editorial putit, what in the name of Hugo Grotius is Mr. Reaganup to now? They don’t remember how we got into thefirst world war, by opposing the kind of thing we’vejust done. For us to go back on our word in acceptingjurisdiction of the World Court makes us appear out¬laws. I think we can be called an outlaw nation. Sup¬pose the shoe had been on the other foot, what wouldwe think if the Russians had mined someone’s har¬bour?

' '*The professors come from four sepa¬rate departments in the university.Oriental Institute professor JohnBrinkman won a fellowship to rejearchtributes in Babylonia. He plans tospend part of the year in London, work¬ing at museums. “I’m going to studytribes in Babylonia from 1800-500 BCand compare them to modern tribes inthe same area,” Brinkman explained.Associate Professor Elizabeth Hel-singer will study Victorian poetry foran idea of that period’s sense of place.She currently works in the College En¬glish department.The Arthur Holly Compton Distin¬guished Service Professor in Physics.John Simpson, will interpret data fromthe University’s new’ space experi¬ments. “This is my second Guggen¬heim, and I'm very pleased.”, saidSimpson. “They usually don’t give sec¬ond ones. I’m very lucky.”George Stocking, professor in An¬thropology and director of the MorrisFishbein Center for the Study of theHistory of Science and Medicine, plansto use his award studying Britishanthropologic and ethnographic work.The Andrew Mellow Foundation con¬tributed SI.3 million to the University’sCampaign for Arts and Sciences, mak¬ing possible new faculty appointments,workshops, internships, and fellow¬ships.The money will be directed at pro¬grams in the humanities and the socialsciences. The administration hopesthese projects will create student inter¬est to pursue academic careers.The Campaign for Arts and Scienceshas now collected S44 million of its S150million goal.RockefellerChapelSUNDAYApril 22, 1984No 9:00 serviceEaster Sunday10 a.m. and 11 a.m.Religious EducationClasses. \11 a.m.University Religious ServiceBERNARD O.

Percy (R-Ill.)opened hearings April 12 to examinecontract breaches by health care pro¬fessionals who have received NationalHealth Corps scholarships. The SenateGovernmental Affairs Committee onEnergy, Nuclear Proliferation, andGovernment Processes held the hear¬ing.Percy revealed the findings of an in¬vestigation by his staff which identifies1,700 doctors, dentists, and other healthprofessionals who have breached theircontracts under the National HealthCorps Scholarship Program(NHSCP).Under the NHCSP. the federal gov¬ernment pays medical students’ ex¬penses if they agree after graduation to locate for three years in a countrywhich is short on medical services. Ifhealth professionals break this prom¬ise, they are required to pay the gov¬ernment back for their medical schoolexpenses plus interest and penalties.Contract breaches by health profes¬sionals have resulted in debts to thegovernment which now total $61 mil¬lion.Percy also disclosed the results of acomputer match which shows 55 doc¬tors in default under the NHCSP havereceived almost $2 million in Medicareand Medicaid payments.Percy authored the Debt CollectionAct of 1982, now law, which gives thefederal governmant several tools tocollect debts.DOE proposes research prioritiesThe US Department of Educationhas proposed that the laboratories anddevelopment research centers it fundsshould focus on 26 educational priori¬ties. and that the boundaries of the geo¬graphic regions they serve should beredrawn.Manuel Justis, director of the depart¬ment’s National Institute of Education(NIE), announced that public com¬ment on the proposed changes in theregulations relating to the laboratoriesand centers will be accepted throughApril 25.NIE currently provides $30 millionannually to support the 7 laboratoriesand 10 centers. Except for a center atHarvard University, funding for the 17expires in 1985.Contracts for new laboratories andcenters w ill be open to competition forthe first time since they were createdin the mid-1960’s by the ten US Office ofEducation. The contracts will extendfor five years and possibly total asmuch as $150 million, which w’ould bethe largest set of discretionary compe¬ titions ever conducted by the depart¬ment.Currently, the centers conduct re¬search on educational issues affectingthe nation as a whole. The centers arefunded on a non-competitive basisfrom NIE’s Congressionally approvedbudget. In the future, the secretary ofeducation will select what should be re¬searched from the proposed 26 priori¬ties.Laboratories differ from centers inthat they conduct research on educa¬tional issues affecting specific geor-graphic regions of the country. Some ofthe laboratories created 20 years agono longer exist. The proposal to redrawboundaries served by the laboritieswill enable them to serve all thestates.Questions and comments on the pro¬posed regulations, which were pub¬lished in the Federal Register March26. should be addressed to Donald R.Fischer, National Institute of Educa¬tion, US Department of Education, 120019th Street, NW, Washington.

Collegenewspaper. I hope that through the tell¬ing of this experience I can reach thosepoor godless souls who read the paperthat I now only touch when it is raining.I can relate to your readers, for I wasonce one of them until the force of rea¬son hit me on the head in the form of ablack leather purse.Let me explain. To begin with I haveto confess that before THE EVENT Iwas a man of obsession, and it is thistrait that led me astray. 1 was inJimmy’s one night sucking down thedevil's brew like some Bavarian farm¬er when in walks some guy and his datefor a night-cap. The couple peacefullyheaded for a table behind me when ailof a sudden BAM!! The woman’s heelbroke which sent her flying into herdate. That sent him into the guy next tome who brushed my arm and made medrop my cigarette into my beer. I wasfurious and immediately demanded an¬other beer, a new cigarette, and $50from the couple to pay for the pscvholo-gical damage. The couple was veryapologetic and kind and restored mybeer and cigarette for me but only had$10 between them to give to me.“It’s not enough!” I screamed, shak¬ing the bill in their faces. “I wantmore! I want more!”But the couple had no more money,apologized again and left the bar. I sat there shaking with anger and throwingpopcorn at Jimmy until they kicked meout. I wanted vengence and I was goingto get it!I did my research and soon found outthat these two young, clean-cut well-behaved students were activemembers of that one pillar of activeand progressive social change in oursociety — the U of C Student Govern¬ment. It was then that I began to plotmy plan of action. I would run againstthem in the SG elections! Very deli¬berately I chose the other candidatesmerely for reasons of race, religion,and sex. I had a Black, an Oriental, awoman, an Eastern European, and my¬self, a half-Jew. Their qualificationsdid not matter to me!! Winning was ev¬erything. I had to win! I had to win!!!WIN! WIN! WIN! WIN!Our advertisements were lewd,cruel, and disrespectful. We wanted toappeal to every “druggie and yahoo’ oncampus and designed our posters to putour opponents in a bad light. We namedour party after our inspiration:DEMON, and set out to make “a frivo¬lous attempt to change the face of theUniversity at the expense of many via¬ble student organizations.” This news¬paper, despite its Commie slant, rea¬lized our threat and rightfully endorsedevery member of our caring and up¬standing opponents in Student Govern¬ment. In fact, in a move designed tolead to the betterment of mankind, theMaroon even failed to contact the un¬caring, bitter DEMON party for its in¬terviews. The caring leader of the vir¬tuous opposition party, however, did inform us of the interviews, knowingfull well that the truth of our demonicintentions would be revealed.Then came election day and I spentthe day in the quads, chasing squirrels,and shouting disgusting slogans at theinnocent students passing by. Then-came THE EVENT. Suddenly, out ofthe corner of my eye I saw a woman ap¬proaching me. Did I know her? Whowas she? She tapped me on myshoulder and said:“Excuse me sir, are you with theDEMON party?”“Yeah, whad cha want? Huh? Lookchick, don’t waste my time.”“Oh, I’m sorry sir, but, uh I find yourcampaign disrespectful and uh. I’m re¬ally sorry to say this but I really thinkthat your intentions might not be forthe common good.”“Yeah, well look at this, man.” Ipointed at a nearby garbage can. “Thisis this, man. THIS IS THIS. And youcan take your common good and put itthere, man. THIS IS THIS!!!”“Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to of¬fend you,” she said shyly and started towalk away. It was startled, though, andI went after her.“THIS IS THIS, man,” sticking outmv tongue, “Vote DEMON, man. THISIS THIS!!!”• Then I started to call her names andinsulted her mother until in a last tear¬ful attempt to get rid of me she took herblack leather purse and with one fellswoop, smashed me across the head.Time stood still.Things began to come back to me.What had I done? Where had my inno¬ cence gone? Was I forever destined tobe bad? It was then that I realized whatI had to do. I went around the quadsbegging on my hands and knees for thepeople not to vote DEMON. I beggedthe druggies and the yahoos to try to begood. Please vote CARE.I went to the caring leader of the vir¬tuous opposition party and pleadedwith him:“Please,” I said “Please help meright my life of evil. Please help me dosomething good for once in my life!”Magnanimously he agreed and print¬ed up a poster saying “DEMONPARTY POSITION: Graduate stu¬dents are basically inconsequential,”although we both knew the statementwas a lie. Still it was a noble lie, onecommitted in order to enrich humanlife on earth, and in that sense it was agood lie. The rest of the day I stood infront of the B-School passing out theseposters and pleading for the evilmembers of the student body to be goodand vote with care.In the end the demonic forces that Ihad nurtured were quelled and onceagain good triumphed over evil. Nowmy only wish is to have the opportunityto assure the worried student body thatnow I, too. care and that I am making aconcerted effort to right my ways andto become a productive member of so¬ciety once gain. And to all you druggiesand yahoos out there, let my life be anexample to you PLEASE make an at¬tempt to be good.Marcus A. AsnerExorcized DEMONSix lousy bucks pays fordaring social improvementTo the editor:Hyde Park is not a “college town,” itis a neighborhood with a university init, let’s face it. This place is dead. Withall the pressures a top university putson its students, you can wonder whythere are so few suicide attempts here.There is little opportunity for release.Night life is virtually nonexistent. Oh,you can go see an old movie, or, on ex¬citing nights, go hear a professor talkabout textiles or his own wonderfulwritings. But if you’re not interested inseeing Gone With the Wind for theeighty-third time or hearing yet an¬other lecture (as if you didn’t getenough already), your options are few.Sure you can hang out in the ReynoldsClub mailroom — maybe even checkout other people’s grades — but thattends to get boring after, say, fifteenseconds. You can eat and eat more, butdon’t try after midnight — everythingbut Harold’s is closed. If you’re oldenough you can drink at Jimmy’s; ifyou’re not you can drink at the Cove.Or you can go to Reg and read. Whatfun! If you’re feeling adventurous youcan go into the city, but just try to gethome after one o’clock (or beforefive).What this place needs is a little cen¬tralization, a focal point for studentlife. If Reynolds Club and Ida Noyesare supposed to be a student union,then I suppose the Smart Gallery issupposed to be the Louevre, and theLaw School fountain the Roman Baths.I suggest the administration throw afew million into a real student union,like other universities have. Theymight think such an expenditure frivo¬lous, but their propaganda brochuresain’t foolin’ many. If this is such a topschool, who do so few students apply?This isn’t to say that a student unionwould solve all the problems, but itwould certainly help. For such a smallschool there is surprisingly little senseof community among students. Every¬one is pretty much cut off from eachother, clumped in isolated residentialunits with nowhere to go.What I can’t believe is that the HARCreferendum passed by only a small margin. Why would anyone opposecontributing a lousy six bucks a yearfor improved inter-dorm activity.You’d think the money was going tofund contras in Central America. Sixbucks won’t even buy you a pizza.From what I’ve read, the Shorelandwas the main source of opposition. I un¬derstand that most of the Shorelandhouses didn’t use HARC funding thisyear (and therefore HARC is bad), thathe Shoreland isn’t interested in hassing with busing, that Shoreland Counrhas plenty of money from video gam*anyway, so what’s the point of HAR(Perhaps the Housing Office should co.sider the proposal to take all the hous¬ing system video game money and dis¬tribute it evenly among the houses on aper capita basis, so that independenthouses like Blackstone aren’t finan¬cially punished for being too small forvideo games to be placed there. Or per¬haps the Shoreland should be left alonewith its huge weekly video game in¬come, while HARC tries to improve so¬cial activity elsewhere, leaving theShoreland out of such problematic con¬cerns.I transferred here from the Universi¬ty of California two years ago, and I’mglad I did. I found the smaller classesand strong faculty/student relations in¬spiring and more productive. I’ve re¬ceived a better education here than Iwould have otherwise, so I consider thetwo years of dull social life an accept¬able cost. But when I see such apathytoward student life and such devout de¬dication to preserve the reprehensiblestatus quo, I feel like throwing up andwriting an irate letter. HARC repre¬sents a new and daring step toward im¬proving the social life around here. Ho¬pefully it’s only a first step towardmaking Hyde Park a true collegetown.Or maybe I’m wrong, I don’t know.Maybe people would prefer to spendtheir college years sitting in theirrooms.Erik BurkeGraduating Seniorand resident ofBurton-Judson Courts Jacksoncontinued from page fiveand the people he leads are black. His“exploitation” of his color for politicalpurposes has not been “cheap”. Blackshave paid for it through generations ofpolitical, economic, and social injusticethat Mr. Rosen does not understandand seems to ignore. Black voters votefor Jackson not just because of hiscolor but for the hope that such a politi¬cal victory would give them and toshow that at least they are concernedGayscontinued from page fourthe proponderence of articles and adsabout or for homosexuals in theMaroon’s last issue would seem to con¬tradict this feeling.The Gay Awarness Fortnight inten¬tionally placed to cover both prospect¬ive student weekends and with its ex¬pressed purpose to “educate” thedorms does merit a response.As Mr. Keller said, there is certainlyno problem with “awareness;” theirtiming, however, would suggest theyhave more on their minds.Certainly, someone from GALA dis¬cussing with others his feelings abouthomosexuality will bring across hispreference for this “expression” overthe other. Those who are as yet uncer¬tain about their own sexuality might bedrawn toward this speaker who would,naturally, like to bring these studentsinto his fold. The dorms possess a largenumber of these uncertain students,yet, sexuality is a lot more than simplyan expression, it is something within usthat either from birth or through grow¬ing-up, we acquire. If some of those1who are not sure of themselves become1active homosexuals, when in actuality about their fate. Jackson is running forPresident in order to help achieve somemodicum of justice for his people, andwith the help of other groups, includingthe Jews. That Jackson so seriously of¬fended our Jewish population was agrave and sad mistake on his behalfand should be denounced. But that peo¬ple like Mr. Rosen so seriously misun¬derstand Jackson and what he repre¬sents should awaken us and give usreason to suspect that we are not allaware of the aspirations and plight ofthe black community in our country.Adam VodraskaStudent in the Collegethey are more inclined toward hetero¬sexuality, they will suffer inner tor¬ment for the rest of their lives due tolarvated heterosexual feelings.As regards prospective students: Iagree with Keller that students shouldrealize they will not be discriminatedagainst due to their sexual orientation.But prospectives brought up in moretraditional religious areas, otherwiseperfect for this school (so-called homo¬phobics), might not come to this schoolby the visual onslaught of signs andshirts proclaiming homosexuality; thiswould damage the University’s selec¬tion pool.

Joe Walsh, SG president andothers said that the primary reason fornot telling Heller sooner was that he isdifficult to reach and because therewas a “communication difficulty.”Heller claims that SGFC had alreadydecided to replace him but it gavemoney to Joe Walsh for a Maroon adpublicizing his Monday meeting. Whenasked why he thought he wasn’t thentold that he wasn’t in charge, Hellersaid that “they didn’t have the guts totell me.” He also said Joe Walsh “wasas much in the dark as I was” aboutanv SGFC planning.Walsh said of SGFC preparing a bud¬get to take over the LCB that Monday.Uradnikcontinued from page onearship Foundation in Washington.

Sheis “fascinated” by the relationship ofhistory and politics. She became in- “I didn’t know about that budget be¬fore the meeting. Ideally it should havegone through me.”It is not clear who should have toldHeller. Conley said in her own defense,“It’s not my responsibility to chasedown students and say ‘have you beendoing this,’ ‘have you not been doingthis?’ That’s playing mother.”Conflict and communication break¬down contributed to Heller’s anger.Heller said of discussions he had withConley, “Irene Conley said she wouldtake the heat for the LCB not going off.My assumption is that to her that wasbetter than having Rick (Szesny) doit.”“Conley countered, “I said I wouldtake the heat for the LCB not going ifno one could get it together to make itgo. 1 said it was better for me to takethe heat for it than for Rick to take theheat for it.”Heller said that Szesny repeatedlywould not tell him anything. “I can sitnext to him and he won’t tell me what’sgoing on.” He said of not being told thathe was replaced, “Even though I was amember of the SG committee, so Iknow how this policital maneuveringvolved in Republican Party politicswhile in high school in Florida. Sheworked on several local campaignsand was a leader of the Florida Teen¬age Republicans. While a student hereshe worked for Bernard Epton’s cam¬paign for Mayor of Chicago and wasactive in UC College Republicans,which she would like to revive nextyear. She continues to travel and givespeeches on behalf of Florida TeenageRepublicans when she returns home onvacation.“1 guess you could call me a moder¬ate if you wanted to label me. The arch¬conservative will come and go,” ex¬plained Uradnik. “I consider myselfopenminded.’ Uradnik’s policital phi¬losophy is based on the ideal of limitedgovernment and not any single issue.Her “number one priority” is the re-election of current President Reagan happens, I didn’t expect it (replace¬ment).”Another conflict came yesterday be¬cause Heller didn’t stop his posteringcommittee from postering the campuswith unauthorized LCB posters. Conleysaid she would take action if this hap¬pened.However, both present and formerLCB committee members said theyhoped the LCB would go off well. Hellersaid, “I fully expect it to go off and gooff well.

It won’t belewd or crude.” Conley admitted thatshe has been very involved in decidingwhat events will be acceptable.Events that are currently planned in¬clude Eddie Clearwater and Sodomand Gomorrah room and a 20-footvideo screen in the gym. On the thirdfloor of Ida Noyes will be a cabaretclub where there will be male and fe¬male strippers and the U of C JazzBand. Outside the SG office adult filmswill be shown. The pool will be open forskinny dipping.“It’s an event you can’t not go to,”Vogel said. 1600 people are expected toattend the event. The last LCB hosted1800 people.” Ida Noyes was packedwith people,” Szesny said.YMCAcontinued from page oneerty, Murphy withheld total support forthe project. He said both during andafter the meeting that he was waryabout any proposal which constituted“spot planning.” The building adjacentto the north lot property was referredto throughout the meeting as the “yel¬low building.” The yellow building isnot on urban renewal land.At the end of the meeting, the moder¬ator summarized the feelings of theCCC although no apparent vote wastaken. He said that the council wasbroadly in favor of the redesignation ofthe north lot as long as the developerskept to the plans that they had shown inthe meeting. The moderator also saidthat the approval of the redesignationof the south (parking) lot would be con¬ditioned on the satisfactory plans forthe redevelopment of the yellow build¬ing.EASTERCELEBRATIONCome join us for worshipand lunch!Easter Sunday, April 22 • 11:00 a.m.CORNELLBAPTISTCHURCH5001S.

Along withsome exceptional individual perfor¬mances. the Maroons used their im¬pressive depth to share the title with astrong Division II squad from BradleyUniversity.Grabbing only five firsts comparedto Bradley’s nine, the U of C poundedaway with consistent performances inboth the field and running events. Alltold, the Maroons collected 18 places onroute to their second consecutive topfinish. Head coach Linda Whiteheadcommented, “Our team is small, butwe have a lot of depth and that’s whatwins meets.”Amid the rain and cold, several indi¬viduals turned in particularly no¬teworthy performances. Although theweather placed a severe strain on thethrowing events, Beth Lasky and Maria Del Favero continued thisyear’s tear with outstanding efforts.Del Favero placed second in the discusand third in the shot, while Lasky man¬aged a fourth in the discus and shot,along with a fifth in the javelin. “Therain definitely slows you down and youcan’t expect personal bests on dayslike that,” said Lasky, who also placedfourth in the triple jump. Noting the ab¬sence of Helen Straus, who sat out inorder to rest, the competitors in thefield events once again proved to be astrong component of this year’s suc¬cessful squad.Sue Snow, Tracey Button, and Ra¬chel Vinkey all managed firsts in theirparticular events, to lead the Maroonrunners to an “outstanding” perfor¬mance. Snow cut three minutes off herlast week’s time to post a personal bestof 45:06 in the 10,000 meter run andearned the top spot, while Vinkeyadded a first in the 5000 meters and athird in the 1500. Third-year runnerRugby travels to ElginThe Maroons travel to Elgin to takeon the Elgin River Rat Rugby Club Sat¬urday. The game promises to be just asexciting as last year’s game, when theRiver Rats squeaked by the Maroons,16-10. The Maroons are hungry for awin, especially after their dismalshowing last week against the ChicagoLions. If the young spirited Maroonscan continuously pound on and weardown the older, more experienced Tracey Button won her first blue rib¬bon in the 400 meter hurdles with aquick time of 1:11.38 and credited theweekend’s success to a good week ofpractice. Button added, “The weatherwas nice last week and we got in a lot ofwork; everything is starting to gelright now and at a perfect time.”After this week’s trip to Wisconsinfor the Whitewater Invitational, theMaroons face the MACW champion¬ships to be held at Monmouth CollegeMay 4 and 5. “I think we have a realis¬tic chance of winning the conference,”commented Whitehead. “We need astrong team effort and the upcominginvitational will provide anotherchance for us to improve as a team.”Lasky added, “Our goal is to build oneach performance and peak at confer¬ence. We have a small team and all ofus must do well if we are to win.”River Rats, they should be able to pulloff the victory.After the game, the Maroons willtravel back to Hyde Park to hold afund-raising party at Alpha Delta Phifraternity. 5747 S.

Recently, this question hasbeen broadened to include whether the Cubs willever move to an Astrohole in the suburbs. Yet, whilethe “experts” continue to debate and speculate overthe fate of Wrigley Field, they have let pass almostunnoticed the fact that two of Wriglev’s plainer sis¬ters have major changes planned. The second oldestballpark in the National League, Candlestick Park(est. 1961), has had its life threatened by the strongpossibility of a domed stadium to take its place. Thefourth oldest ballpark. Shea Stadium (est. 1964), hasbeen scheduled for 45 million dollars worth of ren¬ovation. The changes in these ballparks, when takentogether, will shake up National League baseball al¬most as much as the eternally conjectured changesin Wrigley Field would. Yet, since Wrigley Field issuch a special place, idle speculation about its futuredominates actual news of reform in other ball¬parks.After being hoodwinked into taking his Giants outof New York, Horace Stoneham was suckered a sec¬ond time by those who wished to build him a baseballstadium a good ten feet or so away from an inlet ofthe Pacific Ocean. So Candlestick Park was born.Nothing was ever right in this stadium except for W.Mays, W. McCovey, J. Marichal, J. R. Hart, andsometimes B. Bonds. Instead of repairing the Stadi¬um one more time (i.e., another alteration of the di¬mensions to compensate for the effects of the wind,or more additional seats to try to block out some ofthe wind, or astroturf to replace the grass which re¬placed the astroturf which replaced the originalgrass), the city of San Francisco would rather builda domed stadium in the downtown area for theGiants (and 49 er’s). The effect of this move w ould beto kill a long-standing Giant tradition of midweekdaybaseball. Stoneham started the tradition of one mid¬week day game in New York because he regrettedthe passing of baseball in sunshine, and the traditionwas continued in San Francisco because nights canget so cold there, even in the summer. Yet, sincethere is neither sunshine nor cold in a domed stadi¬um, the one day formerly pledged to day baseballwill wind up accommodating a larger, more com¬fortable, night time crowd.The New York Met organization has always draft¬ed pitchers before everyday players since Shea sta¬dium, with its light background and soft turf, is moreamicable to good pitchers than to good hitters Pre- The Third Stringsently, the Mets have placed their hope of once againbecoming a successful franchise in their outstandingyoung pitchers, as they did in the late '60's and early’70’s. Yet. the 45 million dollar deal they reached forthe renovation of big Shea will effectively eliminatethe natural advantages of the Met pitchers. Thewhite-hazy Flushing Meadow sky will be blocked outby additional outfield seating, and the soft naturalgrass field will be covered in hard astroturf.The Mets have a motive besides winning baseballgames, which will be harder for them to do in theNew Shea Stadium, and that is making a big profit.Not only do the Mets seek a football team to replacethe departed Jets, the Mets are the principle tenantsof Shea, and as such own most of the parking andconcession rights, even during football season. Byenlarging the seating capacity and changing theplaying surface they think it will be easier to attracta football franchise from either league. It is ratherunfortunate that in this instance the Mets seem to beprostituting baseball to football, although the Metscan plead that they are going to need this extra profitjust to pay D. Strawberry.The most serious effect of the changes scheduledfor New York and San Francisco is that it willchange the ratio of astroturf-to-natural grass ball¬parks in the National League from 1:1 to 2:1. whilethe ratio remains 2.5:1 in the American League. Atlast I've found an area where the American Leagueis clearly superior. — DACThis comes under the Don’t Cross George Depart¬ment. Last weekend when the White Sox were in NewYork to play the Yankees, Tom Seaver was expectedto pitch Saturday afternoon’s game. The Yankeefront office had anticipated a crowd of 30,000 forSeaver’s return to New York. However, when Satur¬day’s game was rained out. Seaver, instead of takinghis turn Sunday, deferred to LaMarr Hoyt and decided to take his turn Tuesday against Milwaukee.When George Steinbrenner heard this news he wasirate at the White Sox for costing the Yankees a bigday at the gate. Steinbrenner figured that with therainout Seaver would pitch Sunday against RonGuidry and he would get the crowd he wanted. Sowhen this didn’t happen George decided not to getmad but get even. On Sunday, with the White Sox al¬ready checked out of their hotel rooms, Steinbrennerscheduled Saturday’s rainout for Monday afternoon,forcing the Sox to cancel their travel plans. Then onMonday Steinbrenner postponed the game because of the bad weather that had been predicted before hescheduled Monday’s makeup....I wonder if the Yankees will start Jose Rijo,Matt Keough. and Bob Shirley when the Yankeescome to Chicago for three games starting April 30.Saturday’s washout was scheduled for nationalTV. This is the second time this year that Seaver’sscheduled appearance on network TV has been post¬poned because of rain. Two weeks ago he was topitch against Jack Morris but a rainout in Baltimoreearlier in the week caused the Sox rotation to bechanged.Did you see that double steal in the White Sox-Yan-kee game Sunday? Ron Kittle stole second and homeplate umpire Larry Barnett stole a run for the WhiteSox when he called Greg Luzinski safe on his attemptto steal home. That run tied up the game and helpedpreserve Hoyt’s 15-game winning streak.The Detroit Tigers are off and running but I don’tthink they should start printing World Series ticketsyet. So far this year the Tigers have gone with athree-man rotation of Morris. Dan Petrv. and MiltWilcox, with one appearance by Dave Rozema.Sparky Anderson may find himself facing some bigproblems soon if he doesn’t get his other starters.Juan Berenguer and Glenn Abbott, into the rotation.Come May when the schedule gets tighter Andersonwill have to go with a five-man rotation, whichmeans Berenguer and Abbott will have to step into astarting assignment after a one-month layoff. Thenit will take them about another month to get intoform, so Sparky may find himself relying on Morris.Petrv, and Wiicox for all his wins the next sevenweeks.Also, if he keeps pitching those three so often hemight end up giving each of them close to 300 inningsapiece. The last manager to let his starters work somuch was Billy Martin while he was with Oakland.His team also came out of the gate fast but aroundAugust their arms got tired and pitchers such asRick Langford and Mike Norris continued to pitch.Now the careers of those two guys are in a questionbecause of arm troubles caused by their over¬work...Reggie Jackson has started 1984 with a bang aftersuffering through a miserable ’83. So far Reggie isamong the leaders in RBI’s and has added threehomers in his quest for 500. He’s still trying to makeGeorge regret telling him to leave New Y’ork. — CFDennis ChanskvCraig b arberThe Chicago Maroon—Friday, April 20. 1984—17nPRICED TO SELL NOW! 5 roomco-op; 2 bedrooms plus sunny den- great for plants!

The set ispleasing, the costumes are pleasing, the actorsare pleasing, and there are some moments ofpleasing dramatic tension. Director Nicholas Ru-dall has given us a ‘ Bring the whole family” ver¬sion of this play which is fine, but which leavesmuch of the work's dramatic potential untapped.The generalized pleasantness results in what ap¬pears to be a detachment of the actors from theintense, concentrated emotions each of their char¬acters experiences. What is lacking overall is asense of the constant struggle between the familymembers’ love for each other, their desire to com¬municate and their hatred of themselves andneed for isolation and self-protection. This vortexof emotion is communicated to the audience onlyduring moments of obvious dramatic importance,and even then, not fully, because we have notseen clearly enough that it pervades everyaspect of themselves and their lives. O'Neill'sfeelings regarding this tension and the fact that itwas one of the factors which drove him to writeLong Day’s Journey are so well-documented thata production which does not take on the challengeof expressing this problem is of questionable ar¬tistic integrity.The first scene provides a good example of Ru-dall’s neglect of this main tension in the play. In itthere was a sense of diffuseness and arbitrari¬ness of emotion that has no place in any interac¬tion between the four Tyrones. The audienceshould be convinced that there is some hope andhappiness in the family, though of course, theymust also suspect that something is not quiteright. Instead, an impression of estrangementand strangeness is overwhelming from the mo¬ment Mary and Tyrone make their entrance.Mary was jumpy and wierd, Tyrone frumpy andprotective. That was it. We need to see some evi¬dence of the good aspects of their love in order tofeel the pain of the realization that Mary is. afterall her ‘cures’, an irretrievable morphine addict.Her family suspects this already, but the actorsshould appear to the audience to be really hope¬ful for her recovery. The fact that they discuss herwalking around upstairs the night before lets usknow they suspect; we need to see their ability topretend for Mary’s sake. We do not because weknow from the beginning that something is verywrong.In general, the actors' performances brought tomind Chicken McNuggets. which taste pretty goodand are easy to eat but bland. Edmund (JosephGuzaldo), was clearly putting on the air of themelancholy young man who believes he ‘has thehabit of poetry, but not the makings;’ the prob¬lem with playing the role this way is that Edmundrepresents Eugene O’Neill, who proved to haveboth the habit and the makings. Even thoughO'Neill may not have known this at the time, heproved to be a great artist. We need to see thismore clearly expressed in the character of Ed¬mund. Also, he has comsumption and is ill enoughto have to go to sanatorium, but the amount thisEdmund does would seem to indicate a simple caseof bronchitis or strep throat. The portrayal of hisrelationship to Mary was well—wrought though,and Guzaldo played the role with an impishnessthat worked well. The contrast of his dark cos¬tume against the burgundy sofa was a beautifulchoice on the part of Linda Buchanan, the set de¬signer.Though James Tyrone (Tony Mockus), lookedrather like the Wizard of Oz, some of the mostgenuinely moving moments in the show werecreated by him. Particularly well done were hisrelationships with his two sons. It was reallytouching when he comforted Edmund after one of his (too seldom) fits of coughing. Of all the actors,he expressed most consistently the love and isola¬tion of the family members. His namesake. Jamie,started out as a caricature of the man attractiveto women and well-liked by men' but quicklygrew more comfortable and mastered his charac¬ter and the audience with his confident, energeticperformance.On the whole however, Edmund, Tyrone, andJamie simply are not the ‘regular guys’ the direc¬tor seemed to wish to present to the audience: themore each actor got away from a middle-of-roadportrayal of his character, the more moving thedrama became. This would seem to be an obviouspoint, but the tendency of this production was con¬sistently toward conservatism and restraint afterbrief forays into more extreme ranges of emo¬tion. More yelling and tears would not havehelped; what was lacking was the swelling, blis¬tering emotion beneath the thick-skinned re¬straint.The nervous movements of Mary's gnarledhands are intended to suggest the attemptedescape of some of the emotions from beneath thesurface. This gesture is key to Mary's characterand, since the play centers around her. is criticalto an understanding of the other characters. Herhands should make the audience want to lookaway because we “are conscious that she is sensi¬tive about their appearance and humiliated byher inability to control the nervousness whichdraws attention to them.” Mary’s (Peg Small's)hand gestures were clearly under her consciouscontrol and thus did not convince us of her inabili¬ty to control herself. The thought should not havecrossed the viewer’s mind that it must have beentiring for the actress to keep her hands flutteringat that rate.In Court’s production though, the really impor¬tant question with regard to Mary, is why hercharacter did not develop or change. Rudall pres¬ents her as a closed case from the beginning, andin doing so, he saps the play of much of its energy and interest. Regardless of the fact that by theend of the play she is a closed case, at its begin¬ning. we need to see some hope and life in her. weneed to see some glimmer of a once intriguing per¬sonality, not simply a shell of a woman who musthave constant reassurance about her figure andher hairstyle. We have to know why she needs thereassurance, and we have to feel it. otherwise theincredible disappointment and sense of loss thefamily undergoes at the end of the play is not ac¬cessible to the audience.The emotional effect of Court's production LongDay's Journey Into Night was reminiscent of agood t.v. drama in which there are some genuine¬ly moving performances which seem to be almostout of context because there has been no inter¬play and built-up of forces. Television has the ex¬cuse of taking breaks between shooting scenes:live drama does not. In the theater the viewer isable to experience the flow and unity of humanemotion which, on television and in film, is outthrough an unnatural system of locks and dams.This great asset of live theater was ignored inCourt's production. There was a diffuseness ofemotion which simply is not there in the writtenplay, it is true that a huge variety of emotionsand problems are dealt with, but the fact that theaction takes place in one day's time provides thedirector with a ioom on which to tighty weave themany threads so that he leaves the viewer withan intricately beautiful, if depressing, "rug”, andnot with a handful of loose threads. O'Neill's mo¬tivation in writing this play was to get a handle—a rug—on his emotions; he no longer wanted themto exist as separate threads in his own memory.The people at Court, hopefully, realize this—afterall, they had eleven pages on O'Neill’s relation¬ship to the play in their playbill—but they don'tseem to think this information applies to theirproduction. There is great evidence of an attemptto create entertainment, and little evidence of anattempt to produce the great drama for whichO'Neill's script is the blueprint.LONG NIGHT’$ JOURNEY INTO COURTSCOTT O’DELLwell-known children’s authorwill autograph copies ofAlexandra, Island of the BlueDolphin, & his other booksTuesday, April 24th3:30 -4:30 p.m.atMonday-Friday: 10 a.m. - 10 p.m.Saturday: 10 a.m. - MidnightSunday: 10 a.m. - 8 p.m.1301 E. 57th STREET•684-1300 | Graduate Studies inj Administration of JusticeCENTER FOR THE STUDY OF CRIME, DELINQUENCYAND CORRECTIONSLaw Enforcement Corrections ResearchA multi-disciplinary program, ranked among the top in the nation, offers opportunities forstudents, with help from faculty advisors, to develop programs tailored to meet their in¬dividual career goals.

The audience begins to wonder if ithas wandered into a taping of Hee Haw in¬stead of a concert at the Park West. But assoon as Jason and the Scorchers lash intotheir Blasters-meet-Hank Williams style ofcountrified rock, the crowd knows it is inthe right place for unbridled, untamed, un¬adulterated rock-n-roll.Jason and the Scorchers, formerly theNashville Scorchers, let loose with a hy¬peractive torrent of song rendered with acountry twang and spurred by a rock beat.The Scorchers’ roots are deeply planted inthe music of Hank Williams, JimmieRodgers and the Grand Ole Opry. But theband grew up in a rock and punk neighbor¬hood. They draw from the legacy of theircountry heritage and the promise of theirrock environment to create a soundfraught with the emotion of pure countryand the passion of punk rock. As leadsinger and songwriter Jason Ringenbergput it in Trouser Press, “Good rock-in-rolland country are basically the same thing:white soul. Rock-n-roll is simply a little bitfaster. We consider ourselves an Americanrock-n-roll band.’’Indeed, in their stage show, the bandraces through everything from a JimmieRodgers cover of “The Women Make a FoolOut of Me" through a remake of BobDylan’s “Absolutely Sweet Marie’’ (theircurrent single) and into Jason’s own lyricalcountry rockers. The set-up is minimal:Warren Hodges on electric guitar. JeffJohnson on bass, Perry Baggs on drumsand Jason himself on harmonica and, occa¬sionally, acoustic guitar. But the musicthey create is raucous, furious and hard¬hitting, punctuated by Jason's spasmodicthrashing (it can’t really be called dancing)and Hodges's cross-stage sprints. Hodgesguitar soars through the almost gospel¬like chorus of “Harvest Moon" and pumpsout the frantic verses of “Can’t Help My¬self.” Johnson's bass and Baggs’ drumsprovide a muscular backbeat that givesthe band its crackling energy.by Jaan EliasSuppose an individual believes some¬thing with his whole hqart: suppose fur¬ther that he has a commitment to thisbelief, that he has taken irrevocable ac¬tions because of it: finally suppose thathe is presented with evidence, unequiv¬ocal and undeniable evidence that hisbelief is wrong: what will happen9Leon Festmger.

Jasonhad relocated to Nashville and hooked upwith the other band members, all of whomhad been playing together since theirteens. They released an EP of countrycovers on Praxis Records entitled RecklessCountry Soul, which leaned a little tooheavily on the “reckless” aspect. The firstEP is acknowledged by Jason as beingmore “energy and spontaneity” than any¬thing else. But it did convey an under¬standing of and love for country music thathinted at a latent ability to translate thatmusic into a rock world.The energy did become more focused onthe second EP, Fervor. Originally released on Praxis as Jason and the NashvilleScorchers, it was re-released by EMI —minus the “Nashville” moniker. Apparent¬ly, someone sensed potential pigeon¬holing because of the direct identificationwith the country capital. Whatever thetitle, the album contains as much country-rock rowdiness as the live show.In addition to the Jason originals, the re-released EP featured a revved-up versionof Dylan’s “Absolutely Sweet Marie” thathas gotten the band widespread airplayand helped make the EP a critics' favorite.Jason’s explanation of the success of thesecond EP is simple: he drawls, EMI “tookthe album, re-mixed everything and mademe look a whole lot handsomer on thecover.”The whole country-punk resurgence, oremergence, depending on how one viewsthe scene, has met with general critical ac¬claim. Jason and the Scorchers are but oneof a whole new crop of bands reacting tothe synth-pop sounds of the “second Brit¬ish invasion” by returning to the roots ofAmerican music. Many of these bands, likethe pioneers of today's country-rock, Rankand File, are outgrowths of hard-core punkbands. Others, like L.A.’s Lone Justice,Western Fashion: an interesting blend of polyester and leather.-''"'fifeAt various points there arose situa¬tions in which " the observers wereforced to take some action and no mat¬ter what they^might have done, theiractions warn*‘have some effect on de¬velopments rfthe group." — Festmger.et atHagino first began work on “Scientif¬ic American” over a year ago. ‘I decid¬ed I wanted a play to address the ques¬tions raised by the use ot the scientificmethod in the real world A play thatwould deal with the process of scientificthought.“What l ended up with.' Hagino saidglancing at a group of cast membersgathering for rehearsal, “is a playabout a bunch of people trying to makeconnections. Which is what I guess al¬most all plays are about.'Hagino s point of departure for theplay was Festmger. et als.s When Prophecy Fails, a standard social psy¬chology text that presents a study of amessianic cult. The authors of the studyfocus on the mechanics of attitude pre¬servation given cognitive dissonanceand treat the group member/observersconducting the study as a methodologi¬cal footnote. Hagmo's play puts the ob¬server at the center of the action andmakes his role the important question.Social psychological theory is secon¬dary to the play and Hagmo has con¬structed a story highlighting the morehuman element of social research.Hagino revised the script a number oftimes before presenting it to the boardof the Concrete Gothic Theater group “Ihad a hard time pitching the play toConcrete Gothic and convicing them itwas a serious work UFOs, the end ofthe world ..it sounded more like a Na¬tional Enquirer story than a play. " Ha¬gmo said.Trlc^§I<ktI came together out of boredom with themusic they were hearing on the radio anda love of the country sounds they discov¬ered during forays into the local recordstore. Rank and File claimed the IF\2 spotin the RECORD’S compilation of the topdebut albums of ’83, while Lone Justicewas recently named one of Rolling Stone's“Ten New Bands You’ll Be Hearing FromSoon.”The Le Roi Brothers are another country-rock band playing their own rambunctiousform of “Southern-fried teen-trance tra-shabilly,” as the press kit puts it, to criti¬cal and growing popular acclaim. None ofthe band members is named LeRoi, nor arethey brothers. But that deception doesn’tmatter — the music is straight-forward inits country-blues-rock power. Themid-western origins of Rubber Rodeohaven’t affected their rock and punk inter¬pretations of country standards either.They, too, have garnered their share ofplaudits for their efforts.The audiences attending these country-punk concerts and buying the LP’s and EP’scut across all boundaries and categories.Just as bands like the Scorchers representa cross-breeding of genres, the crowd theyattract includes country die-hards, punkrockers — and lots of college students. Atthis show, the rapport between the bandand the audience was obvious. Jasonjoked, teased, “shot” his rhinestone pistolaid at one point pulled a chair up out ofthe audience to sit down like everyoneelse.The albums may be generating criticalacclaim for the new country-punk bands,but it is the live concerts like the Scorchers’hell-raising set that have gotten the audi¬ences dancing, singing, and screaming for-more. It is also the audience that gives theba ids the freedom to do old country clas¬sics and country-punk originals in the sameshow — and then return to the stage tooffer a mesmerizing rendition of the hymn“Amazing Grace.” The music termed“country-punk,” for lack of a more accu¬rate description, is combining all these ele¬ments into a sound that is “as fast as rock-n-roll” and as sincere as its countryroots.When student groups do theater clas¬sics. the body of critical work and pre¬vious performances of the play providea loadbearing wall to support the prod¬uction. In a first-run play, that load-bearing wall is gone. “We have had towork things out ourselves. You can twalk over to Regenstein and check out200 critical interpretation#? of the work.In places where we hawrhad problemsunderstanding what the meaning is, wehave sat down and discussed it. “Owenoften does not know what he meant bya particular piece of dialouge. He tellsme what he was thinking about when hewrote it and then we all work out an in¬terpretation." Feffer said.“This is a tremendous opportunity tooriginate a- character,” Joe Scroppowho plays Schaeffer said. “There areno easy ways. The play does not evenallow for easy categorization. Youcan t simply say its Brechtian or absurdand have that dictate a style to you."The rehearsal schedule nas beenlengthy. To understand their charac¬ters, the cast has engaged in methodacting exercises, has read Durkheimand has “spent alot of time sittingaround talking.”Against this sort of runaway inven¬tion even the most polished techniquesof nodirective reponse is powerless" —Festinger. et at.As director, the main burden of inter¬preting the play falls on Feffer. He hashad to flesh out the dialouge and thestage directions, give the play physicalpresence by arranging for the set andthe costumes and pull together thevarious characterizations of the actorsinto a coherent whole. All this with theplaywright sitting next to him. “Owenand I don't always agree...I have to at¬tack this play as I would any other.When we first started going over theplay there were parts that I thoughtwould present difficulties and so Owenrewrote them. Fetter sair.I am pretty sick of the words of theplay, afterall I have been looking at itfor over a year," Hagino said, “butwhen I watch a run through and see howthe scenes have jelled. I get excitedabout it again." Hamgo added “It isn’ta play until you have an audience.", Feffer and the others worry about thebox office since as Feffer put it ‘ wedon t have Ben Jonson on our side.” Itwould be a shame if the combined effortthat went into this play goes un¬watched Beyond the strength of- thescript, the fact that the production hascome to life entirely on this campusshould provide appeal.

Knopf. 1983878 pp.. $19.95by Abigail AsherSometimes I picture John Updike the au¬thor as a body mysteriously stripped ofskin, exposed to everything: he reportsdialogues and gestures and smells withsuch authenticity that he must be register¬ing everything, all the time. Updike thecritic throws less of his body into it; whenreviewing books he consists of just two ob¬servant eyes and a contemplating brain.This metaphor, of perilous dedicationversus safer restraint, echoes Updike'sown simile that gives this book its title.“Writing criticism is to writing fic¬tion and poetry as hugging the shoreis to sailing in the open sea. At sea.we have that beautiful blankness allaround...hugging the shore, one canalways come about and draw evencloser fo the land with another nine-point quotation.", I •he says in the Foreword. Neither my com¬parison nor the author's, however, is acriticism of the criticism: the observationsin jtriis book are many and accurate, andthi prose is graceful and exact.

More important, heloves books, and his pleasure in reading istransposed into engaging writing.Along with reviews, comments on hisown work, and three longer essays onAmerican masters, Updike sets sail in thesection titled “Persons and Places."

The best that can be said dpoutit, is that it is a mystery novel with a gim¬mick: and the mystery part of it is highlycliched and trite. Joe and Jane Sixpatk,who buy the sort of books that appear oilbest-seller lists, would have great troublein finding anything attractive in this book.The Name of the Rose is. after all, a fringepiece of genre fiction, with little appeal tothe mass market. John Updike, almost fully clothedThe setting is an Italian monastery ofthe fourteenth century, where a youngmonk has apparently just committed sui¬cide by leaping out of a window overlook¬ing a deep cliff. The abbot, fearing foulplay* sends for Brother William, an ex-in¬quisitor who received, we are told, a slap-up education at Oxford. Brother William,and his faithful scribe Adso, are, of course,the detective and chief sidekick of thenovel. Alas, they are so terribly derivi-tive, their characterization so hackneyed,that one is able to feel no interest in themat all — Eco might just as weil hav§ sentHolmes and Watson back in a time machineand stuck them on the scene. Both aresadly colorless detectives: Adso, who com¬mits several sins against his order in thebody of the story, is a little less so. In anycase, when the two arrive at the monas¬tery, Brother William quickly determines(surprise!) that the young monk’s deathwas ndt a suicide; and before you can say“Dies Irae”, monks are popping up allover the place, dead as old goats. Yes,there is something untoward going on atIhe abbey. Brother William and Adso dis¬cover; a nasty secret, linked to a paganbook in the monastery’s forbidden library,threatens to tear the mantle of respect¬ability from the convent, and expose theAt least, this is what we are supposed tobelieve. In reality, those acts whicfi to Mr.Eco appear to be most shameful and here¬tical, are really somewhat mundane mat¬ters. Sure, in the fourteenth century peo¬ple would have beep burned for them, butthey don’t impres^ tis today as being terr¬ibly wrong. Eco also tries to achieve a sortof verisimilitude by having the major char¬acters engage in long (several-page-long)dialogues^atoout the state of the Vatican inthe fourteenth century; a topic which maybe relevant to the story, but does not in¬terest the reader. Since quite a portion ofthese speeches are in Classical Latin (aboutonfc-fifth of the entire novel is in Latin; it’sar cute touch — if you know the language),fthe long-winded passaoes doa’t draw usinto the world qfailte ribrel Puf tether foekus out qf jtftfjrfctjgh' boredom and incforr^ore-hensiojpt 1Indeed, with very few exceptions, mostqf the characters in the novel are unspeak¬ably dull. There is little difference be¬tween them: they are mainly names andmurderer-fodder; people who appear,make a speech, and then (as most fre¬quently occurs) die. Brother William, thedetective hero, is particularly boring,sadly; his personal “eccentricities” areclearly formulaic, patterned closely afterthe generic quick-witted sleuth figure infiction. In fact, the opinions and beliefs heholds are those of a modern liberal figure;his attachment to the church seems nonetoo strong, judging by the number of ser¬vices he misses and the rules he breaks inthe process of his investigation. In his daysuch anachronistic behavior would have gotten the man burned at the stake as aheretic; but this is just another example ofthe book’s fatal flaw. It tries so hard toachieve a believable setting in the four¬teenth century, in some places, that it be¬comes boring, while other parts of thenovel are frighteningly out of the timeperiod. It is this lack of balance that keepsthis book from being an excellent work.It is not, of course, an irredeemablenovel: the ideas expressed in it are verygood. Making the forbidden library thecentral key to the mystery is a very goodidea, as are the hints of cults, which runsubtly through the book. Sadly, however,the rest of the mystery never rises to meetthe challenges of the good elements: theideas are good, but the presentation is un¬balanced, the execution disappointing.seething pit of lust, hate, greed, and foul-jness beneath. . * * HEADSfiLOW UPThe Shape of Rage: The Films of David Cron¬enbergEdited by Piers HandlingNew York Zoetrope. 216 pp. as Stereo and Criihas been seen in |essays on Cronestyle, his attackcalls “dominant vbehind the scenesdrome by Tim Lucitastique magazine.You’re probablberg?

The Stories of Breece D’J PancakeHolt, Rinehart, Winston, 1983178 pp., $6.95by Campbell McGrath fThe American short-story has gnflergonea quiet but important renaissance in the tpast several years. With poetry lingeringin the doldrums of sterility and hollowtechnicality, and the novel plodding a re¬latively lackluster,* course, short-fictionhas become the^lnost vibrant, innovativegenre in contemporary American litera¬ture. While #irre is a diversity of talentwithin the ijbId, ranging from the experi¬mental me|Si-works of Guy Davenport tothe eclectic, slightly crazed humanisms ofStephen tfixon, the core of new work hasbeen produced by a varied, unconnectedgroup or writers working within the time¬worn tradition of “realism”. It is a real-*,ism. however, which bears all the scars,'%uncerainties, and false hopes of the late f20th Century. >’Statically, the rubric of “realism’j/Tsas yecisely as these writers ma/ begrouped. Their techniques range from thephotographically intense “super-realism”of Aaky Robison, to the down-home hon¬esty of Breece D’J Pancake. Their true siiP-ilarGly lies in a shared concern with theemcliortal and cultural terrain of Americatodaw. Each writer depicts a vision of soci¬ety %iostly, if not unremittingly, bleak; awotIo| where characters wander in searchof hope V stability in an increasingly com¬mercialized and dehumanized landscape.And yet, like stars in gathering dusk, themoments of redemption scattered throughthese stories shine the more brightly fortheir context of confusion and despair.Each unique, each technically superb,these four writers, and a growing circle ofronenberg's humour — verbal pun becomes physical imagery; the sculptor,his head.” David Cronenberg-DNSOFERICASHORTrmond Carverard cover)tide to the Nightard cover)Stoneslast/'82 I others, inject needed excitement and ex¬cellence into contemporary literature.They fully deserve the growing criticaland popular acclaim they have gained. Forthemselves as well as for the greater vi¬sion of America they provide, they shouldbe read by anybody with an interest ingood literature, or in the writer's view ofthe society in which we live.Raymond Carver has been called thebest writer in America today, and he maywell be so. Certainly when he is at his best— as he is in about half of the dozenstories in Cathedral, his third volume ofshort-fiction — he is truly astonishing. Athis very peak, in the story “A Small, GoodThing”, he is untouchable. Unfortunately,but understandably, Mr. Carver is mortal,and when his stories mis-fire, he can be as ^bad as anybody else.Cathedral is a problematic book. 'Carver's writing is technically better, and,of more even quality, than in hiypreviou^volumes. The stories feel conrmlete aridwell-crafted, and most are su^essfdl tosome degree. There is a certain safenessabout it, however, which is unsettling.Thoro arp fpwpr risks taken less of thestartling, epigrammatic brillance of stories like “Fat” and “Father” from hisfirst volume Will You Please Be Quiet,Please? In a lesser writer this tendencycould / be easffy forgiven. But for Mr.Carver, a great q^d original talent, anysacrifice of vision |$r craft is worth notingysrjttf alarm Luq^ilyc the effect here is farfrom fatal, a ml/for fl|w at worst.In Cathedrals a\ earlier, RaymondCarver’s world is a *alm of the marginal,of characters’Son the f$nge of society — es¬tranged popples, reformed or not-quite-reformed’ ^fcOholics, factory workers un-ab'estp hold down a job. hie is best when hestrv^ closest to this worldxin “Feathers”thelconjunfction of a peacockfprrd a comical-iy-ugly bally at a dinner lead Inexplicablyto the inelorable collapse of fikouple'sfrappiness^and a man’s life. In “g^eful”,an entire \|tprld is disrupted by |n* ear’'clogged witt| wax. Even when he is clr^dby a soak o| warm Wesson oil, the centfa|character winders .in dread if it might noflhappen again, strilge suddenly when he isalone, asleep at n|jght. The fragility of hisworld is deftly sketched; the portrait isbrief, seemingly inrfbcuous. Not until hoursor even days liter, when the reader sud¬denly remembers fhe story with unease,sees the man sf/ting alone with his bottlesof pink Andre Champagne, waiting for hisear to fill with^wa^, is Mr. Carver's fullpower recognized. 'Mr. Carver is leijSt effective when hestrays furthest fromfhis home terrain. In“Compartment” a father travels by trainto visit his estranged |>o,p in Strasbourgafter years of separation. The conceptseems promising, but tht&jnan’s upper-middle class status, the European setting,the entire story down to its ca^tjived con¬clusion, ring false. “The Bri ’ takesplace in a motel in the southwest, but thecharacter’s familiar wandering, down-and-out status qualifies the story as partof the Carver world.The exception, of course, is “A Small,Good Thing”, in which the central actionconcerns a family of stable, middle-class,suburban variety. Their lives are strickenwith sudden, inexplicable disaster whentheir son Scotty is struck by a hit-and-rundriver and lapses into a coma. Mysteriousphone-calls, a forgotten birthday cake,and the stirring of new emotional depthsin the distraught mother lead throughlayers of potential denouement to a stun¬ning conclusion in a bakery, a combinationof Faustian imagery with a vision of loss,despair, and simple redemption whichcould serve as a sort of credo for the en¬tire body of Mr. Carver’s work. ;To revealany more yvOkttld'be sacrilege: “A Smali.Good fftlng” should be read and sa¬vored.In Raymond Carver’s world common ob¬jects are invested with a totemic power.Each word becomes ominous, a potentialprefiguring of disaster, as the authorweaves simple language into a threaten¬ing web. The reader is caught up, takenunaware, until the simplest actions andwords are tinged with uncertainty and ir- jrationality, and at the same time a ranc*- 'ing pathos. Combining the sensibilizes ofChekhov and Kafka with thosp bf- a; re¬formed alcoholic from Oregon, a father atage 18, working in saw-prills and road¬houses, Raymond Carved struggles to ar¬ticulate a peculiarly*.Ahnerican vision of <despair and occasiohal joy. We can all bethankful that Mr. Carver left the saw-millfor the typewriter.Mary Robison’s stories are often dbm- <pared to photographs, but a closer analo-gy is to' those paintings of everyday jscenes which bear a photograph-like qual- jity, the artistic technique whose name hasbeen appropriated for a literary style:“super-realism”. Like these paintings, thesunaces of Mary Robison's stories are soslick, so “real” and yet illusory, as toseem artless, and the reader is beguiledinto asking: Is this art? How can be surethat the artist knows what she is doing —could she perhaps be recording the worldaround her as blindly as a camera does? Astory, hoever, is not a photograph, just asa painting is not; and a writer is not a cam¬era.On closer examination, the analogysprings many leaks in regards to Mary Ro¬bison’s writing. While some of her storiesdo seem to be almost random “moments”transliterated from the uvorld onto paper,the subtle hand of the author may be wit¬nessed at work on an equal number of oc¬casions. The stories in An Amateur's Guidetn the Night Ms Rnhisnns serond volumeof stories (she has also published the novel Oh!), are set mostly in the urban east —Boston, Baltimore, Washington, D.C. Theaction is joined invariably in media res,often shortly after an important event hastaken place — the death of parents, theemotional breakdown of a daugher —about which the reader learns only gra¬dually. In several instances, “I AmTwenty-One” or “The Nature of Almost Ev¬erything”, this vital event is never articu¬lated, is sensed only as an absence hover¬ing over the characters and the story. Thereader is left to make sense of the obliquefragments.At her best, in the title story, and in thetiny, very powerful “Yours” , Ms. Robi¬son’s fiction takes on a life of its own. Thepiling up of personal detail, some mun¬dane. some bizarre, all of it painfully liter¬al. leads to the creation of a world at oncespecific and generic. Insight is plentiful,but culmination, a sense of closure, is with¬held. Even the most “complete” stories inthd^olume end on odd. purposefully unsa-tisfyirt^«^otes, heightening the effect thatthe storyiS’ln some sense a random mo¬ment, a segment of film clipped at randomfrom a full-length movie. Sometimes, not¬ably in the story “Coach”, it can seem as ifthe writer simply ran out of steam, leav¬ing an interesting story before it was fin¬ished. The choice is conscious, however, jand it is a powerful and typical indication |of Ms. Robison's technique, her vision, and Iher firm craft.Ms. Robison delights in presenting die*logue at its most banal. Her charactersthink and speak a dialect of* contemporaryphraseology which appears both ludicrousand familiar when isolated baldly in herwork:The job I had was on the dinner shift,five to eleven, at the Steak Chateau.Friday and Saturday evenings. Wai-tressing and bussing tables — I didboth — could really wear you down,that evening I had been stiffed by agroup of five adult people. Thatmeans no tip: a lot of juggling andrunning for nothing. Also, I had for¬gotten to charge one man for hischef's salad, and guess who got topay for it.Phrases often stand as titles, as in“Smart”, “Nothing's It”, and “Look at MeGo”. The speech of the befuddled fatherwhich concludes the volume's first story.“The Dictionary in the Laundry Chute”, isa gem of contemporary contusion:~ .“Well then I don’t get it,” Ed said.“Honest, I don’t get it. I mean, Idon’f see wjiy we aren’t happier and jwhy we can*f ’all get a little sleep 1around here.” * *Ms. Robison wcfeijd h^v£ us believe thatshe is as disingenudV^, &s confused, as in¬nocent in her preservation of the world.Byi the subtlety of hpr craft at work, itsvery ingenuity, betrays her. Mary Robi¬son is a writer of putstanding control andtalent, and An flfpateur's Guide to theNight is a fine, if. froubling, volume of fic¬tion. Her works pYesent the rare combina¬tion of technical , and artistic experimenta¬tion with accessible, entertaining stories,i a considerable achievement which the fu- tture should see her match and even ex-! ceed.The world of Robbie Ann Mason’s fictionf is strictly delimited not only geographical-Ily, but socially and economically as well.Her characters are housewives, busdrivers, drugstore) clerks, out-of-workVietnam vets — members of the lower-middle class. They (live in semi-rural west¬ern Kentucky, a landscape in the processof “modernization” and change: farmsand small towns give way to malls, urbansprawl, highway sbburbia. A passage inthe title story, Shiloh, sets the scene forthe whole volume:Now that Lerov has come home tostay, he notice^ how much the townhas changed.^ Subdivisions arespreading across western Kentuckylike an oil slick. The sign at the edgeof town says “Pop: 11,500” — onlyseven hundred more than it saidtwenty years before. Leroy can’t fig¬ure out who is living in all the newhouses. The farmers who used togather around the courthousesquare on Saturday afternoons andplay checkers and ^pit tobacco juicehave gone. It has been years sincecontinued on page 8 sTHE GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, APRIL 20. 1984—7MORE BOOKScontinued page 7Leroy has thought about the farmersand they have disappeared withouthis noticing.In open sight and yet somehow invisibly,the world of Faulkner has been replacedby “K Mart.”In this context of flux and vanishing tra¬dition. of new traditions created andturned-over as quickly as ‘‘Where's thebeef?” replaces a Big Mac, Ms. Mason'scharacters search for stability. More oftenthan not, traditional answers are notenough: relationships run down-hill; thegap between children and aging parentsbecomes unbridgeable; schemes for salva¬tion — whether tied to Evangelism or theblue-prints for a log cabin — prove illuso¬ry, fruitless, ungraspable. Hope, when it isfound, lies beneath the commercializationwhich coats this world like a second skin, incompassion and understanding — as thestory “A New-Wave Format” puts it,‘ Right in your heart.”It is a testament to Ms. Mason that shewrites equally well about men and women.Leroy in ‘‘Shiloh” and Edwin in ‘‘A New¬Wave Format” are fully realized charac¬ters, while ‘‘Nancy Culpepper” portraysthree generations of women with insightand grace. In ‘‘The Climber”, a gothic, sym¬bolically-charged tale of the quiet sup¬pression of women, the character of De-lores serves as both a heroic individualand as a universal ciaracter. The story’sfinal image, a quince Dush which blooms inthe midst of destruction, is a poignant sym¬bol for Delores ard other women, and, atanother level, for all of Ms. Mason's char¬acters.Shiloh and 0:her Stories is in many waysthe richest of these four volumes of short-fiction. There is no single story as powerfulas ‘‘A Sr tall. Good Thing”, but the weightof detail, richly evoked lives, and the emo¬tional truth sustained throughout the bookis immense. Ms. Mason's technique is en¬ tirely realistic”, but the accuracy withwhich she portrays her world — our world— overcomes any connotation of being be¬hind the times: she is a traditionalist in thebest sense of the word. Both her style andscope of understanding make it seem asafe bet that Ms. Mason would be capableof working in the novelist's genre — an as¬sertion which seems more tenuous in re¬gards to Raymond Carver and to Mary Ro¬bison, whose novel is less successful thanher stories. Ms. Mason is still writingstories, which appear in The Atlantic quitefrequently, and while it seems ungratefulor even foolish to expect a writer of suchforce in one genre to switch to another, Ican't help looking at the prospect withsome excitement. When the next volume ofMs. Mason's excellent stories is published.I'll buy it: when a novel appears. I’ll befirst in line.There are several obvious similaritieswhich make a comparison of the TheStories of Breece D'J Pancake to BobbieAnn Mason’s book natural. Both are con¬cerned with a specific geographical region,and those regions themselves are verysimilar — Kentucky for Ms. Mason, and thehills and hollows of West Virginia for Mr.Pancake; both delimit a particular, andsimilar, socio-economic sector of society;and both are first volumes which speak re¬markably for the future of their young au¬thors. Unfortunately the similarity endsthere. While Ms. Mason’s acclaim growssteadily, Mr. Pancake’s book is a posthu¬mous publication, the author having takenhis own life at the age of 27 in 1979.The kind of attention which Mr. Pan¬cake’s work has received — it was greetedby great critical acclaim last year — isboth touching and troubling. That criticsand fellow writers can mourn the loss of avery talented, though relatively unpro¬ven, young writer is refreshing. But toooften the shadow of the author himself hasobscured the merits of his work. Every¬thing about Mr. Pancake was unusual, from his name to his upbringing in thecountry he writes about, to his saddeningsuicide. The mystique of the unusual whichsurrounds him has turned the reading ofhis book into a search for clues about Mr.Pancake himself, a chance to get an insidelook at somebody who will soon kill him¬self. Just as Jack Kerouac or Ernest He¬mingway cannot be treated by the criticalestablishment without their biographiesintruding, so Mr. Pancake’s works arebeing subsumed to the ghost of the authorhimself. The Forword and Afterword whichbracket the book, though written byfriends and mentors of Mr. Pancake, tendto concentrate on personal recollections ofthe author, furthering this unfortunatetrend.As seen in his Stories Breece D’J Pan¬cake was not a great writer. But his gifts— an incandenscent energy, rich materialto draw from, and impassioned languagegiving him a truly unique voice — arethose upon which later greatness can bebuilt. At times Mr. Pancake's language as¬sumes an unnatural life, a unique powerwhich leaves the reader amazed, as in theconclusiobn of Trilobites:I hear the train coming. She is high¬balling all right. No stiffs in thatblind baggage...My skin is heavy with her noise.Her light cuts a wide slice in the fog.No stiff in his right mind could trythis one on the fly. She’s hell-bentfor election....I watch her beat by. A worn-outtie belches mud with her weight.She's just too fast to jump. Plain andsimple.I get up. I’ll spend tonight at home.I’ve got eyes to shut in Michigan —maybe even Germany or China, Idon’t know yet. I walk, but I'm notscared. I feel my fear moving awayin rings through time for a millionyears.The mixture of dialect with uniquely envi¬sioned description transforms the passingtrain into a figure of dread and recklessuncertainty.Many of Mr. Pancake’s stories are aboutkilling: young drifters kill aimlessly, with¬ out understanding, in “The Way It Has ToBe’; an old man is revealed to be the mur¬derer of hitchhikers in ‘‘Time and Again”;hunting scenes recur in graphic detail — in“Hollow” the slaying of a deer assumessacrificial importance and the wash of hotblood hints at violence to come, while in“First Day of Winter” the killing of gamefor Thanksgiving dinner becomes haunt-ingly entangled with the prospect of euth¬anasia. Mr. Pancake’s world is elemental,and violence and death are basic ingrei-dents.Some of Mr. Pancake’s characters rese¬mble the drifters and loners of RaymondCarver, while others face the uncertaintybrought on by the struggle between tradi¬tion and change depicted by Bobbie AnnMason. Mr. Pancake's world is distinctlyhis own, however: his characters haveroots and families, and his countryside islargely unmarked by commercializationand up-to-the-minute modernity. It is abackwater, in fact, where coal-mining anddirt-farming endure as the central occupa¬tions. His description of this world is facin-ating, revealing both the helplessness andthe hopes of its poor occupants. The socio¬logical interest which this seldom-depictedlandscape sparks is one of Mr. Pancake'sstrongest assets.Ultimately, Breece D’J Pancake's storiesare tragic. The darkness and violence theyhold point too clearly to the author him¬self. At their best they combine tne con¬crete story-telling of early Hemingwaywith a dark side borrowed from Faulkneror even Flannery O’Connor. Mr. Pancake isnot the equal of these writers, but the po¬tential for great accomplishments is wit¬nessed in the vision and language of thesefirst, and last, works. Mr. Pancake was atsome level a victim of the America he por¬trayed. His fellow writers have escapedthat fate, while detailing a society heavywith somber greys and black. Throughloneliness and despair to scattered joyand love, the country they depict has manyfaces: a dehumanizer and a killer, and atthe same time the bearer of reconciliationand redemption. There can be few greatercauses for hope than that these four writ¬ers, and others like them, choose to lendtheir talent and vision to illuminating thevaried landscapes of our society in alltheir richness and contradiction.GREY CITY BRUNCH(AND OPEN MEETING)SUNDAY AT 1 PMOLD AND NEW MEMBERSSTRONGLY ENCOURAGEDTO ATTEND5617 S.
