mrThe Chicago MaroonVolume 93, No. 50 The University of Chicago ©Copyright 1984 The Chicago Maroon Friday, April 27, 1984City reprimands dispatcherBy Jeffrey TaylorAn internal investigation byhigh-ranking Chicago Fire De¬partment officials has con¬firmed that a recently hiredradio dispatcher on March 22refused an ambulance requestfrom U of C Security. Becauseof the refusal, 11-year Securityveteran Johnnie-Cord De-Bergh was forced to transporta student bleeding from nu¬merous lacerations to MitchellHospital in his patrol car.“He (the dispatcher) madean independent decision not torespond without consulting his supervisor,” Fire Departmentspokesman Jerry Lawrencesaid Wednesday.Lawrence said the dis¬patcher has received “an oralreprimand,” but will continueto field emergency calls fromthe Chicago community. FireDepartment dispatchers, asstipulated by their contracts,cannot be suspended for a firstor even a second offense.Normal procedure forserious lacerations is immedi¬ately to dispatch a fully-equipped ambulance and para¬medic team. Blood loss,Grading to changeBy Frank LubyThe College Council votedoverwhelmingly in favor ofplus-minus grading in the Col¬lege. The two-part resolution,which includes specific inter-PHOTO BY MIKE WEINSTEINMark Ashinvals in the new grading scale,passed at Tuesday’s meetingby a 3 to 1 margin, according toMark Ashin, secretary to thefaculty.The new grading systemtakes effect in autumn 1984,and adds plus grades andminus grades to each lettergrade A-D, but excludes the A-plus and the D-minus. Thescale works on a 4.0 scale, withA-minus at 3.7, B-plus at 3.3,and so forth. The general opin¬ion among faculty members,many of whom already reportplus-minus grades anyway,finds merit in the new systembut do not feel it will make avery big difference.“I don’t think it’s a very bigissue,” said Stuart Rice, deanof the physical science divi¬sion. He added that the plus-minus grading has “not been amatter of very active discus¬sion.”Ashin, a professor of Englishand English literature, agreed that the new system will makelittle overall difference inGPA’s and dismissed argu¬ments saying that the proposalwill let professors gradeharder or that the new systemwill increase competitionamong students. “I’ll gradethe same way I always have,”Ashin said; adding that he al¬ready reports plus and minusgrades and does not like the in¬ability of the old five letter sys¬tem to make no distinguish be¬tween the student just belowthe A-line and just above the C-line.“There’s a viture to beingable to give B-plusses and B-minuses,” Ashin said, echoingthe comments of Dean of Stu¬dents in the College HermanSinaiko, who said that the sys¬tem will provide “a more accu¬rate record” of how the stu¬dent has performed. Lawrence said, is one of thethree afflictions for which am¬bulances are most readily dis¬patched.One radio dispatcher con¬tacted on duty said the deci¬sion to send an ambulance islargely “a judgment call.”But, he said, “for somethinglike that (blood loss), we woulddefinitely send one.”“The Security officer whomade the call (DeBergh) wasnot on the scene,” Lawrencesaid. “The dispatcher couldnot determine whether it wasan actual emergency.” De¬Bergh. however, indicated thatthe injury’s severity “wasclear” to the dispatcher.Lawrence has refusedthroughout the investigation todisclose the dispatcher’sname.Vice President for Universi¬ty News and Community Af¬fairs Jonathan Kleinbard, wholearned of the investigation’sfindings from a Maroon report¬er, said “I’m pleased that theFire Department followedthrough on its investigation.”At 2:30 a.m. on March 22, asreported in the Maroon, De¬Bergh instructed his Securitydispatcher to request an ambu¬lance for a student with“serious lacerations.” De¬Bergh had answered a tip froman anonymous resident of acampus dormitory.“Normally we always waitfor the paramedics,” DeBerghsaid. “I requested an ambu¬lance and we were trying tokeep the situation under con¬trol until it came.”continued on page ten PHOTO BY ARTHUR U.

The securityguard also said the ownerowed approximately $200,000in back taxes.According to the IRS PublicAffairs Office, the IRS filed alien against Kimbark Liquorsin April 1983 for $10,741 in un¬paid employment tax for theperiod ending September 1982.It is not known when the storewill be reopened.Further details were una¬vailable at press time. By Nathan SchoppaChicago police Friday nightarrested an underaged individ¬ual who was attempting to buya drink at a Hyde Park bar.The incident has again raisedquestions on the effectivenessof current provisions prohibit¬ing those under 21 years of agefrom purchasing liquor.The incident occurred whenan under-aged non-Universitystudent attempted to buy adrink at the Cove, 1750 E. 55thSt. Police arrived after a com¬plaint from a patron at the bar,and arrested the individual.The individual had presentedan ID showing an age of 21, butpolice believed the ID to befake.An employee working at theCove at the time of the arrestpartially blamed the incidenton a letter that appeared in theMaroon that same day. Theletter said “if you’re oldenough, you can drink atJimmy’s; if you’re not you candrink at the Cove.”“We have never had any let¬ter such as that,” the employ¬ee said. “It brought in a lot ofunderaged kids.” He added,“there is no way that they (un¬deraged drinkers) are going toget any more.”Whether other bars and li¬quor stores in the Hyde Parkarea have had similar prob¬lems is a question whichbrought mixed responses.An employee at the Wood- lawn Tap, 1172 E. 55th St., said“we don’t see this as a prob¬lem.” He said police do occa¬sionally come in and check forunderaged buyers, but therehave been very few problems,because not many underageddrinkers attempt to buy there.An employee at the HydePark Coop liquor store, howev¬er, said they have frequentlyhad incidents in which un¬deraged buyers have attempt¬ed to purchase liquor. He saidmany U of C students enter thestore expecting to buy liquorwith falsified University IDs.The store, however, does notaccept this form of identifica¬tion as it can be tampered witheasily. The employee believeshis store’s provisions werestrict enough to prevent manybuyers under 21 from purchas¬ing liquor there.Jonathan Kleinbard, vice-president for University newsand community affairs, seesthe problem as potentially se¬vere. “It’s obviously a prob¬lem because it’s illegal.” hesaid.Kleinbard said underageddrinkers place the liquorstores and bars in jeopardy be¬cause of current laws, whichstate serving liquor to a personunder 21 can cause revocationof a license.“You (the underaged buyer)put yourself in jeopardy morethan anything else.” headded.PHOTO BY ARTHUR U.

Fair¬banks reported, “After majorefforts (by the US)...againstdeath squad activities, certainofficers were reassigned and aspecial investigative unit isbeing set up.”He then pointed out a secondhuman-rights-policy ap¬proach. “Only democracieshave good human rights poli¬cies,” he explained. “(The en¬couragement of democracy) isthe only way we can changethe human rights situation inEl Salvador.”“The emergence of democ¬ racy has been surprisinglysuccessful,” noted Fairbanks,keeping in mind that the nationunderwent economic crisis,civil war, and regional insta¬bility.“The help of the US is trulyessential for El Salvador to dowhat it has done and to contin¬ue on this path in the future.”Later in the debate, Fairbankssaid, “The Reagan adminis¬tration doesn’t want morCubas.”Repeating his main point, hestressed, “Military aid is ahard necessity.”Wheaton rattled off a rapid-fire description of the situa¬tion: “Most people in the basinlive in conditions that nobodyin the audience would toleratefor five minutes.”“The result (of US actions)has been a holocaust, a genoci-dal experience their countrycontinued on page ten4The first word forcomfortable feet:Birkenstock.Birkenstock studied feet—standing, stepping andwalking feet.

If plus-minus gradingwon’t affect grades, what is its goal? If it is to give professors a widerrange of grades to choose from, we ask; where does it stop? If the goal isto differentiate between the B-student who “just gets by” and the B-student who is “just that far from an A, ” why don’t we abolish all gradesabove and below a B?Teachers who feel they need to grade on a +/- scale are just pullingall students into a wide B-range. They don’t want to give A’s becausethey’ll seem to be “easy graders.” They don’t want to give C’s for fearof keeping a somewhat deserving student out of the graduate school ofhis choice.Now that the new grading system has passed, we have only a word ofadvice to graders: don’t let the wide variety of B’s keep you from givingA’s and C’s. There are always students deserving of each. PROSPIE WEEKEND-•• <T OVERATJONE?..

Jesse Jack-son, and the US electorate — all in oneletter. With Miller, pressing any wrongbutton seems to cause him to explodeand only at the eyesores of his morallandscape. This letter will addressmerely the first of the eyesores.Miller asserts that the Universitydoes not and will not condone acts of in¬tolerance toward homosexuals andconcludes the new non-discriminationclause is as a result redundant or un¬necessary. Yet he then ejaculates:“Many of us consider your behav¬ ior morally reprehensible and wesee no reason for the University tocondone it.”Apparently Miller is so wrapped upin the role of the moral watchdog thathe cannot see that the need for a stronghomosexual anti-discrimination stanceby the University arises from peoplelike himself.Miller asks facetiously why the Uni¬versity does not codify all the bases ofnon-discrimination, such as bestiality.He implies that there is no significantdistinction between the bestiality andhomosexuality since both are “perver¬sions.” The distinction should be obvi¬ous. One involves the sexual relationsMaroon, CARE damage DEMONbetween human beings and animals,the other between human beings. Inone^ genuine love and human bondingare not possible; the other may pro¬mote them.What is most troubling about Miller’sletter is the cavalier and arrogant man¬ner in which he treats the issue of ho¬mosexuality, i.e., he does not. He mere¬ly reacts to it (I am sure he never choseto be against homosexuality). Yes, tosome homosexuality is BAD, isGROSS, is REPUGNANT. Yes, gayshere are not universally accepted, butthat is universally known. So what arethe grounds of such a reaction? Whereno grounds are given then one must at¬tribute the reaction to dogma. Such aTo the editor:In the recent Student Governmentelections, the CARE Party defeated theDEMON Party in a hard fought race.However, in the April 20, issue of theMaroon, two of the DEMON candi¬dates, Marcus Asner and Newton Hall,allude to misguided and wrongful actswhich occurred during the campaign.For example, Marcus Asner chargesthat the Maroon contacted the CAREParty for the election issue interviewsbut made no attempt to inform theDEMON Party. If this is true, I thinkyour newspaper is guilty of shoddy andbiased journalism. Whether or not theDEMON Party offered “serious” can¬didates is irrelevant. The Maroon has aresponsibility to hear and report theviews of all candidates.But the more serious charge made byboth Marcus Asner and Newton Hallcenters on posters distributed byCARE on the day of the election. Theposters stated that the DEMON Partybelieves “graduate students are basi¬cally inconsequential”. The CAREParty must have known it was circulat¬ing a deliberate lie. Consider this, in aremark quoted in the Maroon (4-10-84)and made in the presence of RickSzesny, Guy Yasko said “SGFC has tolet them (graduate groups) knowthere’s money.” Marcus Asner, as Vice President of the Chess Club, served agroup comprised primarily of graduatestudents. Newton Hall is a member ofthe President’s Advisory Committeewhich also has graduate students. Asmembers of the current Student Gov¬ernment, the CARE Party must havebeen aware of these groups’ composi¬tion. It seems to me this deliberatemisrepresentation of the DEMON posi¬tion diverted and prompted the gradu¬ate vote, contributing to CARE’s elec¬tion. The strongest cases of this are inthe races for secretary (Newton Halllost by 53 votes) and vice-president(Marcus Asner lost by 114 votes). Asthe Maroon reported (4-13-84) DEMONand CARE “competed closely for theundergraduate vote”. But CARE sweptthe graduate vote which determined the outcome of the election.I feel that we should not condone theirresponsible behavior of our represen¬tatives. Although Chris Hill did apolo¬gize to the members of the DEMONParty, I think that a post-election apol¬ogy does not excuse this misconduct. Ifeel that those responsible for the mis¬guided journalism and improper elec¬tioneering should apologize to the stu¬dent body. Furthermore, someinvestigative body, such as a StudentGovernment Ethics Committee, shoulddetermine the strength of these allega¬tions. I challenge the new Student Gov¬ernment to legitimize their “appoint¬ed” roles.John J. DonermeyerThird year student in the College reaction is understandable but not ex¬cusable.Concerning the nature of homosexua¬lity itself, just about everyone mustknow by now that there is little chancefor its reversal (even psychiatrists whotreat homosexuality as an illness agreeon its intractability). If the conversionof gays to heterosexual preferences isnot possible, what is the point of thepain inflicted upon and hatred directedtoward gays? Are gays deserving of it?Surveys have shown that on theaverage gays score higher on intelli¬gence tests than heterosexuals, enterwhite-collar professions far out of theirproportion to straights, excel withinthose professions, and are generally re¬garded as socially well-adapted apartfrom the problems caused by homopho¬bics. This is a far different picture thanthe stereotypical one of gays being pro¬miscuous slaves of their sexual desires.Do gays undermine society — insi-duously, inexplicably? Unlikely. Ho¬mosexuality is found in almost all cul¬tures. Some high civilizations evenpermitted or encouraged it, includingAthens, early imperial Rome, the Otto¬man empire, early modern Japan.Perhaps the cause of Miller’s vomit¬ing vituperatives is not from any rea¬soned foundation but from what he maybe, a morality mongering sadist? an ig¬noramus? If either, he should be thank¬ful the University does not practice apolicy of discrimination against intol¬erance or ignorance.Peter KangStudent in the CollegeEl Salvador debate: U of C at its bestTo the editor:Here is the university at work: fivehundred serious, attentive persons,who consider respectfully the pros andcons of their government’s CentralAmerican policy.

Uncertain of just what might hap¬pen at Mandel Hall, given the deep con¬victions held by both sides on thedebate question, Dean Levine was will¬ing to go out on a limb. Integrity andcourage were admirable qualities, per¬haps even unusual qualities, in a uni¬versity administrator, and we inCAUSE, the Debate Society, and Stu¬dent Government all owe Levine ourthanks. But are these qualities, andtheir resulting behavior, “above andbeyond the call of duty” in a universi¬ty? Most of us would suspect not. Le¬vine’s role, in fact, was the very roleuniversities must play in order to fulfilla civic responsibility.The Central American problem forNorth Americans is not that we might be drafted to fight and die for ourcountry. Rather, because the US nowuses proxies to defend “our” interests,the human cost of current policy caneasily be forgotten. Spanish says farbetter than English what we can do:estar conciente, to become fully con¬scious, of the history and actual realityof Central America, and to take respon¬sibility for our government’s action.There are issues for us more urgentthan plus or minus grading, or the useof a new coljege mailroom. Dean Le¬vine, in leading an exemplary El Sal¬vador debate, proves that the Universi¬ty can and should be a form for theseissues. This is the work of the Universi¬ty. Can we see more of this kind of lead¬ership at U of C?David M.

I con¬cede that an active social life is nothanded to you on a silver platter. But tothose of you who blame the University,I blame you. Time after time I hear ac¬ademics as the big excuse: studentsclaim they don’t get enough r and r be¬cause they “can’t.” I perceive this ob¬session with complaining about theworkload as an escape from taking onthe pressures and frustrations of sociallife. It’s easy to resign yourself to thelonely, unnatural and unfulfilling “lifeof the mind.” It’s getting your sociallife off the ground that’s the real chal¬lenge.Each weekend my challenge is to fig¬ure out how I can make it to the max¬imum number of parties. Quadsitting isa small, but ingrained part of myschedule. Why should my attitude, andthe attitudes of my friends with whom Ishare these activities be so oppositefrom the attitudes of others at the sameuniversity? Logically, the difference issimply that: a difference of attitude.But I would not have expressed thisfeeling as strongly my first year. And,yes, I admit it; I am a girl, so the ratio-is in my favor.But I still preach that your social lifeis what you make of it. And learning tojuggle life’s pressures is exactly whatyou’re here to do. Maybe you’ll agreewith me by your third year.Eleanor SmithThird-year student in the CollegeTo the editor:At first glance, it would seem thatBenet Haller (“Hostility exaggerat¬ed,” April 20) means to protest what heconsiders undue attention being givento recent events involving the gay com¬munity at the U of C. Closer examina¬tion of his letter reveals that his pen is amightier sword than his mind can ef¬fectively wield, for in his sad and sillyattempts to reveal what those nastygays are really up to, he is hackingaway at the very branch on which hesits.Haller claims:Certainly, someone from GALAdiscussing with others his feelingsabout homosexuality will bringacross his preference for this “ex¬pression” over the other. Thosewho are as yet uncertain abouttheir own sexuality might bedrawn toward this speaker whowould, naturally, like to bringthese students into his fold...Ifsome of those who are not sure ofTo the editor:No, Mr. Cole! (“Whining praise likeRover’s,” 4/20/84). Certainly we neednot “banish these fine touches fromacademia to maintain a ‘stimulatingacademic atmosphere.’ ” Granted,David Fischer’s article was an offen¬sive extreme, but I found your letter tobe one also. I can’t deny that during myfirst year I noticed that the chemistrylab equipment was not as good as myhigh school’s. But the male-femaleratio is “very poor”? Yes, there aremore men than women but the ratiohas already fallen below 2 to 1 and theUniversity works to improve it eachyear. It is also comparable to the male-female ratios at schools of comparablequality. Likewise, I don’t think moststudents consider having bottles andbricks thrown at them a common oc¬currence. The crime rate in NewHaven is higher than in Hyde Park.College neighborhoods have their prob¬lems, but I think you’ve unfairly inflat¬ed the ones here.Though they may leave a “sourtaste,” aren’t “long, tedious hoursstudying,... lack of sleep, (and) mount¬ing pressures and frustrations” a nor¬mal part of an academically demand¬ing lifestyle? Learning how' to confrontpressures and frustrations, to spendlong hours studying, and perhaps tochange a “constant lack of sleep” intoan occasional one are exactly whatcoming to a good college is all about.I don’t miss “touches of normality.”Football games and cheerleaders arenot talked about much. But these twoexamples are a metaphor that you’reusing to point to a larger emptiness youfeel: a lack of an active, gossipy sociallife. If you are not happy with your so¬cial life then well you should protest.Another important part of college isfinding circles of activity and gossip.But it is up to you to find them. Thereare plenty of conversations aboutwhat’s going on this Friday night or“cute blondes” that I’m sure you’d bewelcomed to join. themselves become active homo¬sexuals, when in actuality theyare inclined toward heterosexua¬lity, they will suffer inner tormentfor the rest of their lives due tolarvated heterosexual feelings.I thank Mr. Haller for relieving me of aterrible burden of complacency. I hadactually come to believe that the GayProselytizer was as obsolete a stereo¬type on this “enlightened,” “aw-are”campus as Snidely Whiplash. If youmust generalize, Mr. Haller, then atleast be optimistic. Try assuming thatmost U of C students and prospectivestudents already have a few cluesabout their sexual inclinations whenthey get here. Better yet, forget whatyou already “know” about homosex¬uals and try listening to a few gay peo¬ple talk about their attitudes towardthemselves and others and towardtheir sexuality. Do you think you haveto hear the details of a person’s actualsexual experience (or lack thereof) inorder to determine that person’s worthas an acquaintance, classmate, co-You “miss sitting on the lawn for afew carefree, unpressured momentswith some friends”?! Oh, please! Thenyou are one of few. Many of the peoplereading this letter are probably at thismoment sitting on the quads sharingquite a few carefree, unpressured mo¬ments with some friends. The quadsare full during lunchtime on sunnydays. Your inability to relax enough toexperience a few unpressured mo¬ments is not something you can blamesolely on intense academic environ¬ments. Please, try quadsitting thisspring, Mr. Cole. The most active areais usually the patch of grass betweenTo the editor:The Maroon of April 24 containedseveral letters pertaining to the recentobservance by some of Gay AwarenessFortnight. Most of the letters werefrom members of the gay community,and were written in rebuttal to lettersby Mr. Russ Miller and Mr. BenetHaller, both of whom apparently op¬posed the fortnight. In their attempts toestablish what they consider theirrights, however, nearly all of thesemost recent writers revealed a preju¬dice as ugly as any, a prejudice againstanother of the University of Chicago’sminority groups.The group to which I refer is the ho¬mophobics. The pro-GALA letters re¬peatedly make blanket statementswhich characterize all homophobics as“hysterical” and “violent”. This justsimply isn’t the case. While certainacts which might be considered bysome to be either violent or unreason¬able have been committed against gaysrecently, they certainly are not thescheming work of all homophobics. Infact, these such acts when not justified,as they generally were, needn’t havenecessarily been committed hv hnmo-phobics at all. More probably, the guilty were teenage pranksters, butGALA insists on attacking the homo¬phobics, in hopes of gaining the supportof the rest of the disproportionately lib¬eral campus. Perhaps it would come asa surprise to homosexuals that homo¬phobics in general have no more vio¬lent tendencies than claustrophobics oracrophobics. Most, like myself, areable to have a dislike of homosexuality— call it hate if you like — without re¬sorting to violence in any way, andwthout falling victim to hysteria. Yet.GALA, using the Maroon as a weapon,launches an unfair attack on a group ofpeople who dislike homosexuality, butwho generally have no intention of in¬terfering in GALA’S “activities” in anyway.In closing, I would like to address themilitant gays directly: I have no objec¬tions to your being prejudiced againstmyself and the other homophobics, forI am equally prejudiced against you(and besides, I am not really afraid ofyour opposition being damaging to mycredibility), but propaganda attackssuch as yours have no place even in theMaroon.Richard F. DiazFirst year student in the College will meet, here or anywhere else, arelikely to have any real interest in tryingto “convert” you; attempting to makethe members of a given group feel wel¬come at the U of C does not necessarilyentail asking members of other groupsto sign up or get out. Heterosexualsknow they are welcome here.Try applying those sappy intellectualideals the U of C loves to tout. Be dar¬ing. Be cynical. But direct your daringand cynicism at defeating the notionthat everything you currently believeabout the members of any subset of hu¬manity is based on facts — or even edu¬cated guesses — about the individualswho constitute the group.In any case, fear not. Whatever ho¬mosexuality is, it is not a communica¬ble disease, nor an addictive drug, asyou seem to fear, Mr. Haller. “Recruit¬ment,” strangely enough, often turnsout to have been from within the ranks.(If shaping adolescent minds, confusedor otherwise, were so easy, hystericalparents would have eradicated homo¬sexuality long ago.) Never underesti¬mate the power of individual freedomof choice: it does take two to tango,even way over there on ChristopherStreet. If you are not already gay, youhave nothing to worry about.I suspect, Mr. Haller, that you arenot really losing any sleep over the po¬tential psychological agonies of nextyear’s freshman class. In fact, I sus¬pect you may be fretting over a privatenightmare vision of your own, in whichcrusading gays tip the balance and he¬terosexuality becomes the closetedsubculture. Are you bothered by the no¬tion of having to watch what you sayand where and how you say it and towhom, all the time? (Indiscretion onthe part of a gay person can have manymore serious consequences than the of¬fended sensibilities of straights.) Mightyou feel frustrated and guilty at havingto hide your girlfriend in the basementwhen the boss drops in? < Who wants tochoose between loyalty and safety?)You may never get bashed in an alley,but it’s wise to consider the possibilityif you insist on walking around alone atnight with perversely unpierced ear¬lobes. And you'll have to do somethingabout those indiscreet letters to theMaroon. Someone might think it wouldbe funny to send a copy home to Dadand Bruce, and you’d have to come upwith some alternative tuition paymentplan. You’ll get used to public discre¬tion pretty quickly, especially if youare lucky enough to have a supportivegroup of friends with whom you canrelax and talk freely at times, but youwill learn the point of “awareness” ef¬forts the first time you have to choosebetween lying and losing a job or a fel¬lowship or a promotion or a family.And don’t let the Gay Board of Educa¬tion catch you teaching impression¬able, confused, in vitro minds of anyage that a heterosexual might be some¬one worth knowing.Mr. Haller proposes for the U of C “anew organization which promotes he¬terosexual awareness and balances theinfluence of GALA. ’ ’ Relax, Mr. Haller.Your profound ignorance of the sub¬ject, as evinced by the content of yourletter, proves that GALA’S influence onthis campus is in no immediate dangerof exceeding the limits of propriety. Iassure you that there is no plot for aworldwide or even campus-wide gaytakeover. I would have heard about itby now. I have the privilege of inform¬ing jou that, as far as heterosexualityis concerned, word is already out.Mr. Haller wonders if the purpose ofthe Gay Awareness Fortnight mightreally have been “to draw more gaysand turn-off (sic) straights wishing toattend this school.” GALA memberswho explained the effort as “educatingthe educated” may have been a bit toosubtle for some people. Had the sloganread “enlightening the grossly misin¬formed,” Mr. Haller might have had abetter shot at recognizing his positionin the intended audience. Then again,maybe not.Ignorance itself is nothing to beashamed of.

Students readseveral books before choosing sixprimary texts to study in detail.These books are then used to addressa major issue like war, heroism, 'justice, etc.This year, the first year of classes,13 juniors and seniors have workedwith ten professors in seminars andreading courses. The highteacher-student ratio is somewhatmisleading because some teachershave agreed to do one-on-one readingcourses but will not teach regularcourses.One of the program’s advantages,according to Karl Weintraub, whoVOTE WORKERS LEAGUE-nED WINNFORPRESIDENTFrom Workers League campaign literatureWinn visits campus cafeBy Hilary TillAlthough most students may nothave known it, a presidentialcandidate was on campus Mondaynight. And no, it was not RonaldReagan or any of the Democraticcontenders; it was Ed Winn of thelittle-known Workers League party.Winn presented both his presidentialplans and his party’s aspirations toabout a dozen people at the BlueGargoyle Monday evening. Winn, aself-described Trotskyite. predictablycalled upon the overthrow ofcapitalism, and his speech waspunctuated by typical Marxistexhortations against “malevolent"corporations and banks and byattacks upon the entire “rotting,"“bankrupt capitalistic system” itself.Winn began his speech bydescribing how he got involved inrevolutionary politics. He was atransit worker for eighteen years inNew York City and began his politicalinvolvement with his membership inthe transit workers union there. Hesaid that as a result of the first strikethat he was involved in, which was in1966, the workers were “able toextract decent wage increases ... fromthe ruling class and bourgeoisie.”After calling the New York transitauthority “malevolent," Winn laterwent on to say that he is now retiredat half-pay. He was able to do this atage 50.Winn next outlined why he thought each of the Democratic candidateswere inadequate. He said thatMondale. Hart, and Jackson would notdeal with the “exploitativeconditions” imposed on the workingclass. Mondale, he said, would "notwork in the interests of the workingpeople but in the interests of banksand corporations.” Hart does not havenew ideas, he said, but rather “hisideas are as old as the bankruptcapitalistic system itself." “Despitebrother Jackson’s good intentions.”the party he works for “representsthe interests of the ruling class,”Winn contended.W'inn also added that theCommunist Party, USA (CPUSA) isnot communist and the SocialistWorkers Party is not socialist. “Intheir own practice,” the CPUSA is a“defender of the Democratic Party,”Winn maintained. The SWP, he said,is “heavily infiltrated by the FBI.”After a question was posed from amember of the audience aboutcommunism in Russia, Winn said thathis revolutionary movement shouldnot be “equated with ... what exists inthe Soviet Union.” He named theestablishment of “bureaucratism"under Stalin as the cause of thedemise of true Marxism in the USSR.The meeting ended with an appealfor funds and the showing of the film,“The Bolsheviks,” which included“extraordinary scenes ot Lenin’sfuneral.” conducts some Fundamentals readingcourses, is that several professorswho don’t usually teach in the Collegehave said that they will be availablefor reading courses. Weintraubapproves of this University/Collegecontact.This program was started when theNational Endow ment for theHumanities approached Allan Bloom.He said, “When I realized that theNEH had money and was looking forprograms that would benefit studentsand reanimate other things atuniversities, (I started talking toother professors here and discussingpossibilities).”Bloom said of the Fundamentalsprogram, “It provides thewherewithal and the respectability,”for the investigation of questions.Fundamentals has been seen bysome as a return to the days whenseveral of the professors in theprogram including Bloom went to theU of C.“Allan Bloom said that they weretrying in this program to bring backsome of the vitality that theundergraduate community had whenhe was here in the 1940’s during theHutchins era," one student explained. Allan Bloom“He said he wasn’t really trying tomake it as good as it was but hethought there was a personal concernthat the students ought to read texts.”Kass stressed that this is not a newprogram as much as a return to anold philosophy, saying, “Periodicallythings that are very old (programapproaches like Fundamentals) turnout to be very new. In the quest forliberal education, novelty ought to besuspect.” continued on page nineFOTA opens TuesdayBy Mary DeanDon’t be surprised if you’re out onthe quads this Tuesday and you comeacross a lot of people handing outwatermelon, popcorn, and heliumballoons. It’s the opening day of thethirtieth annual Festival of the Arts(FOTA), a large-scale “celebration ofuniversity talent” and “highlightingof unnoticed events” that has takenplace every spring since 1954.Starting at noon, opening dayfestivities include music by the BluesBlowers, entertainment by theJuggling Club and the Morrisdancers, and free entrance into theMoonwalk that will be set up in thecenter of the quads, weatherpermitting If the weather doesn’tpermit, the Moonwalk will have to go.but the festival will go on. witheverything moving into the northlounge of the Reynolds Club.It will go on for two weeks, in factthe longest FOTA ever anc featureeverything from mideastern dance tomidwestern art. from folk andcountry to blues, jazz, and rock inthe process. With the LasciviousCostume Ball and the annual SpringDance both falling within thetime-frame of the festival, whichitself sponsors a number of dances,concerts, contests and comedies, itlooks to be a very busy two weeks.Thirty years ago it all started witha low-key, two-day mini-festival thatalmost instantly expanded to include sports car rallies, midnight concerts,and costume balls. Generous alumni,supplemented by student governmentgrants, supplied (and still supply)most of its funds, so the festivalexpanded and contracted with thetimes. In 1970, with a budgetexceeding $30,000. FOTA sponsoredlectures and workshops by writerssuch as Allen Ginsburg, Ken Kesay,Edward Albee, and Studs Terkel; inaddition to “sprinkling the quads withdaisies strewn from an airplane.”Needless to say, FOTA operatesunder a tighter budget these days, butthe spirit remains the same. The“FOTA Committee,” described as a“volunteer student non-profitorganization, with no constitution, andno charter,” is made up of whoevershows up at mee tings which are opento all students and begin in the winterquartei Its guiding principle is thatthe majority of events should be opento everyone free of charge. In thisrespect, the festival’s diminishedbudge ; oni\ forces it to take fulleradvantage of local resources,bringing it closer to its originalpurposeThis year also sees a greaterattempt to involve students whoregularly consider themselves outsidethe festival Sunday's “Old TimeMusic Convention. Jam Session, andPicnic,” for example, is an openinvitation to everyone interested. Socontinued on page ninePre-LCD frolickingat B-School Follies“The 39-cent Special” is the title ofthis year's B-School Follies, anoriginal musical written, produced by,and starring B-School students. Butnever fear, this is not an esotericproduction geared to B-Schoolstudents and filled with inside jokes.Last year’s production of“Penguinomics,” featuring a B-schoolstudent with an invisible 6-footpenguin friend, played to an audienceof 1100 undergrads and graduatestudents.This is the tenth year for theFollies, which began in 1975 as agroup of skits put on late oneafternoon in the basement of theB-School. This year’s full-lengthmusical has a playing time of abouttwo and one-half hours, but it’s plot isa state (or school) secret. It waswritten by a committee of B-Schoolstudents headed by Mike Litt, GaryKilberg, Dave Mulier, and Dan Wald.About 25 students are in the show, which is being co-produced byMarilyn Schlein and Harold Robin.There will also be 10 B-Schoolprofessors, whose appearance, it ishoped, will have the same sort ofvisual effect as in last year's Follies,when professors in togas appeared asthe gods of Mount Olympus.As is appropriate to a showproduced by Business School studentsand satirizing the business world ingeneral, the Follies are financed byselling stock. Eighty shares of stockwill be sold at $10 per share. Lastyear the show returned 70 percent, sothat investors received a $17 checkthe week after the show.When asked whether attendance atthe Follies might be harmed byconflicting with the LCB, Schlein saidthat she didn’t think so, since the LCBtends to heat up late, so that studentscan attend both events.

He discussed the Republicand drew attention to its sequel, TheTimaeus, which is not generally stud¬ied, but which Cropsey said is indis¬pensable to understanding the Repub¬lic.He compared the two books, sum¬marizing the central ideas expressedin each. In the Republic, the relation¬ship between man and the best city isdescribed. In the Timaeus, we see thecity’s relationship to the universe.We are told that due to the nature ofthe best city, the best of men will be un¬happy because they are coerced intoruling the city. And for the best of men,this is not the best thing. The others inthe city must also make sacrifices ifthe best regime is to be formed: theguardians cannot marry, people areseparated from their children — in PHOTO BY KC MORRISJoseph Cropseyshort, “people are unhappy left andright. What gains is the city,” saidCropsey.But Cropsey thinks men are betteroff in this city in spite of these condi¬ tions. Their sacrifices make the citygood, and the goodness of the city,which is the justness of it, allows mento live in harmony in the city. “Peoplewho puruse happiness end up payingfor it in other ways,” said Cropsey. Sothe trade-off of happiness for a bettercity might be worthwhile.But the goodness of the good city isnot supported by the cosmic environ¬ment, which dictates how we live: thebest of people are the most unhappy.And it’s not likely that men will sacri¬fice their happiness for the good of thecity, even though they may be betteroff in this city. “Such a city doesn’thave good prospects,” said Cropsey.In the Timaeus, we see that due tothe nature of the universe, the city willbe at war. The activity of the humanpolitical association is the activity ofwar. Thus, due to the nature of the uni¬verse, it becomes very difficult formen to engage in philosophy and the other nobler activities which humansare capable of and which create themost happiness for men.The question then is if it is difficult toform this just city for men to live in,and if the nature of the universe has thecity at war, what are the prospects forhuman happiness in this world?In the Timaeus, Plato shows us howthis tension can be resolved. In otherwords, he shows us how even the bestof men can be happy in this world. Ifour souls and the virtues we are cap¬able of can be understood as they aredescribed by Plato, there can be achance for human greatness.Thus the Timaeus becomes indis¬pensable for understanding what Platomeans — man can live in harmonywith the universe if he can only under¬stand himself. Through the develop¬ment of the soul and the virtues we allcan have a chance for happiness in thisworld.FEATURES ‘i!Fundamentalscontinued from page sevenJames Redfield was one of thethree primary organizers of theFundamentals program. He wasinvolved in the original planningwhere they discussed what sort ofprogram to submit for the NEHgrant. One idea discussed was to havea Social Thought BA to accompanythe present graduate program.There was also debate on whatdivision the program should fall into.“It seemed to me that NCD was avery suitable format for(Fundamentals),” Redfield said. Heis the acting master of the NCDprogram.While most people were not entirelycertain of how successfulFundamentals would be, particularlyat helping students to address issuesor problems, Redfield said theprogram is “somewhat ahead of whatI would have expected,” and heattributes this to the students.The possibility of limiting theprogram to sophomores has beendiscussed because there is aFOTAcontinued from page sevenis the revived art contest, with its1984 theme, “MidwesternCivilization.” (Prizes include ahammock, a dulcimer, dinner at AnnSather’s, a kite, and the Prairie HomeCompanion Anniversary Album.) disadvantage to students who enterthe programs and have to completetheir major project, the junior paper,in the same year. Still, Redfield saidthat the program will probably endup, like most NCD programs,allowing a few juniors in each year.He classified the years by explaining,“The rhythm of (the program) as itdevelops is that the sophomore yearis the text year (where students domost of their in-depth reading) andthe junior year is the issue year.”One problem and advantage of theNCD program is that it isproject-centered. Redfield anticipatesthat the Fundamentals program willbe typical of most NCD programs inthat most students who drop out willdo so because they “couldn’t sort ofsit down and make up a paper ontheir own.” Redfield said thebeneficial side to this requirement,however, is that the skill of workingthrough a personal project is oftenneeded in the working world.The program will expand by takingin about 15 students a year until it hasreached 40 students. For its firstyear, virtually all the students whoapplied were accepted.Those who are interested in dance ormeditation, and those who just wantthe exercise, can try the“meta-movement ritual” known as“Transdance;” while others might beinterested in a poetry-writingseminar, or learning a new folkdance.Full schedules of such events will beavailable at the opening daycelebration on the quads, but theseare some of the major events: Weintraub approves of “the way inwhich the program is trying to makeuse of personal independent interestsof the student and attempt to help thestudent at that problem through theanalysis of great texts.” He said thatstudents develop strong analyticalskills through the program.However, he was more critical ofundergraduate student’s ability tohave a real question and be able toresolve it.“Probably the greatest difficulty isreconciling these texts when we’resupposed to be developing thesequestions. We have trouble seeinghow these books are relevant,” saidKermit Snelson, a student inFundamentals.Snelson said there was facultydissension when Fundamentals wasfirst proposed because otherdepartments thought it would be tooelitist. “I suppose it was more theprinciple than the actual facts — thefact that you have to apply, you areinterviewed, and you get all thispersonal attention,” Snelsoncontinued.“Just the tone of the program itselfis ‘study the great books — life of themind.’ These professors will teach thebooks that they love to the studentsthey love.” Kass said this has becomea “dead” issue now that the programis actually winning.Emphasizing the Fundamentalsconnection to other U of C programs,Kass said, “In a way this is a newprogram for Chicago, in a way it’s acontinuation of a longstandingChicago tradition. We think aboutfundamental questions, readimportant books and don’t apologizeto the rest of the world for doing it.”One basic difference with theFundamentals program is that “TheNew Collegiate Division is notstructured around answeringquestions. In fact, just about everyother major (at the U of C) is,”Snelson observed. While students inFundamentals work on a major issuethrough reading, writing the juniorpaper, and taking a final exam on hisor her six books, the goal of theprogram is not to solve the majorissue or problem but to gain someinsight into it.This has been a major criticism ofthe program because it does notnecessarily produce any tangibleresults. Snelson continued, “If it’s agood question, they (students) won’tfind an answer. If a student leavesthe program feeling he has solved theproblem, then he has understoodneither the problem nor theprogram.”Still, another Fundamental student,Bruce King, said that the program isvaluable because it provides “theopportunity to spend a lot of time withsingle books.”Another student, who is not in theprogram but who has taken theFundamentals basic course sequence,agreed that this single text study isvaluable and is not offered enough atthe U of C.King continued, saying that thevalue of Fundamentals lies in the fact that “if you really spend a fullquarter just thinking about one bookyou then not only learn the book but itbecomes something you feel is yoursalmost. It forces you to think aboutthe issues that the book raises in yourown life.”Karl WeintraubAnother primary objection toFundamentals is that it perhapsprepares students for careers lessthan most U of C majors. Kasscountered this saying. “For peoplegoing into law. business, social work,or other practical activities, it will, Ibelieve, be most beneficial to pursuequestions of law and justice or of thehuman psyche or family life, for theselarge matters are very much at thecenter of just about any practicalactivity in the world.”Kass sees the benefit of theFundamentals program, therefore, asbeing open enough to allow studentsto pursue whatever issues they want,as long as they are seen as majorenough to warrant pursuing by theprogram’s professors.Bloom agreed that the program is aworthwhile way for students to spendtheir undergraduate time, saying. “Idon’t think (students) have tospecialize that much.” Bloom saidmost students will probably go on tograduate school as well and willreceive most specific training there.The professors said that the onlyarea that Fundamentals wouldn’treally prepare students well for wouldbe science, except for the study ofscientific texts.If college can be seen as four yearsto only learn, the Fundamentalsprogram is well suited to theinvestigation and addressing of majorissues.

Theend product was the formation of “anoligarchy, and a military at the serviceof that oligarchy.”Supporting his view with an impres¬sive string of dates and names. Whea¬ton showed how the US interactedthrough the years with this oligarchyand military. With the help of the CIA,Wheaton claimed, the US supportedthis oppression in return for the adop¬tion of agarian reform in 1980.He explained further that US med¬dling in El Salvador (an “unholy alli¬ance”) is so great that “the electionsmean absolutely nothing.”“The US will continue to pour out bil¬lions and billions, but until it changesthe structures, we will not have anychange in the situation,” Wheaton stat¬ed.Fairbank’s rebuttal came as an at¬tack on Wheaton's emphasis on histo¬ry. The State Department representa¬tive wanted to know what Wheatonproposed to do about the present andthe future. Fairbanks asked. “Where’sthe beef?” It was his second use of thephrase during the evening, and it drewa second round of scattered groansfrom the audience.Wheaton responded by painting Rea¬gan as the Hollywood president whosees a world of white hats and blackhats. He declared, “it is only out of thepast we can approach the present andthe future.”“This is not an East/West, but aNorth/South problem. We can havepeace tomorrow.” proposed Wheaton.“The main impediment to peace is theUS.” The claim was met by applause.During the question-and-answerperiod, each speaker made an interest¬ing statement which invited scrutiny.In a criticism of the leftist guerillamovement in El Salvador. Fairbankstried to question the revolutionaries'ethics by stating, “They are killing each other before they even came topower. The Nazis and Bolsheviks wait¬ed until coming to power.”“I believe they (the El Salvadorianguerillas) are serious revolutionarieswho will make serious changes,” hecontinued. “Mussolini made changes.”Fairbank’s comparison of guerillas tothese historical examples offendedsome in the audience.Something said in passing by Whea¬ton prompted an attack by Fairbanks.Wheaton proposed. “The order and thestructure the US helped create...is fin¬ished. It’s like the feudal system inEurope — it’s over.” He then continuedby blaming the US for stifling a “dy¬namic democracy” in Grenada.Fairbanks challenged Wheaton’s as¬sessment of Grenada, stating that ar¬mored personnel carriers fired on un¬armed crowds in that nation before USintervention. He pinpointed Wheaton’sstand on Grenada as proof of the Rev¬erend’s lack of belief in democraticideas: “He (Wheaton) said guerillaswinning would be terrific. I don’t thinkby terrific he means democratic.”“One has to be engaged...in order toachieve your moral goals,” Fairbanksconcluded. “If you care about the peo¬ple of El Salvador, you will want to useour influence in El Salvador by beingengaged there.”Wheaton’s closing statement came intwo parts. He first defended his inter¬pretation of democracy and his state¬ment on Grenada. “There is more de¬mocracy that goes on in 12 differenttowns than there is going on in the pollsevery 4 years,” he proposed. “I believeour system is not as democratic as itcould be.”He then tried to identify the presentrole of the United States. “What the USbelieves in is a controlled democracy,”he said. Stressing that such supervi¬sion is unnecessary, Wheaton de¬clared, “I have seen the participationof the parish councils, of the women’sunions. Democracy can also function ifyou do not go to the polls every 4years.”Wheaton ended the debate on a pow¬erful note: “Deep down they (the ElSalvadorians) hate us because we aretelling them what to do.”■SaleFROSTINGHENNAGLAZINGCELLOPHANE....Additional Hair Coloring services areavailable or can be designed to achieve yourdesired effect.

These incidents, combinedwith muggings in front of Burton-Jud-son and also at the corner of 60th andKimbark, caused Security to increasein the area.“We responded with an additionalpatrol.” said O’Leary, “which is still inthe area and will continue in the area.”He also noted that “this is the firstcrime against a student at new Gradu¬ate Resident Hall in quite some time,”and that he believes the incident to be“isolated”.Nonetheless, said O’Leary, “we havenot changed our patrol”.Investigationcontinued from page oneThe paramedics never arrived. Ap¬proximately 12 minutes after he re¬quested the ambulance, DeBergh ra¬dioed his dispatcher: “I can’t wait anylonger.

April 27. 1984—11Baseball takes two from UIC JV, one from RiponBy Don HaslamThe University of Chicago varsitybaseball team has played three double-headers in the last week, and won threegames out of the six. The Maroons beatChicago Circle twice, Ripon once, andlost to Lawrence twice. The Circlegames were against the Flames’ juniorvarsity teams, while the other games were full-fledged conference contests.Chicago beat Circle so badly in thefirst game that the cross-towners for¬feited 9-0 in the fifth inning. FreshmanEric Smith pitched the entire gameand got the win. The second game wascloser, but Chicago won 10-9. SteveBarnhart started at pitcher and was re¬lieved by Tom Weber. Because thesegames were against JV teams, though,Softball whips TrinityKitchen throws no-hitterBy Frank LubyMaroon senior co-captain KarenKitchen tossed three strong pitchingperformances, including a no-hitter,and Mary Childon added a completegame win as the Maroons swept doub¬leheaders from Trinity College andTrinity Christian Tuesday and Wednes¬day at North Field. The victories putthe Maroons record at 12-6 for the sea¬son, with a doubleheader against NorthCentral remaining on Monday.“She’s keeping the ball lower.” saidKennedy of Kitchen. Kennedy addedthat the team has played strong de¬fense to support her. and “we’ve madesome really nice plays in the field. Theteam is getting used to each other.”Childon’s performance also pleasedKennedy. “It was good to have herthrow a complete game and be suc¬cessful,” said Kennedy.The Maroons opened the Trinity Col¬lege twinbill with a 10-0 six-inning vic¬tory behind Kitchen’s no-hitter. Kitch¬en walked four and fanned seven, andoffensively contributed a 2-for-3 daywith a home run and four RBI’s. Fresh¬man catcher Madelyn Detloff alsowent 2-for-3.In the second game Childon cruisedto a 15-3 victory, as Detloff and fellowfreshman Arzou Ahsan each posted 2-for-4 outings and had four RBI’s com¬bined. The Maroons jumped to a 6-0 lead in the first inning, with five con¬secutive hits at the start of the game.The Maroons followed that perfor¬mance Wednesday by sweeping TrinityChristian. 4-0 and 6-4. Kitchen not onlypitched a one-hitter in the openingshutout, but also knocked in the win¬ning runs in the first inning. With oneout and Dana Howd on first, Ahsanreached on an error. Howd took thirdon a wild pitch and Ahsan stole secondbefore Kitchen singled both of themhome. The Maroons added single runsin the fourth and sixth.In the nightcap the Maroons leapt toa 4-0 lead before Trinity tied the gamewith a four-run fourth inning. Stepha¬nie Grossman brought the winning runhome in the fifth, however, when shescored Detloff on a suicide squeeze, an¬other example of the Maroons consis¬tently effective bunting all season.With one out Detloff singled, took sec¬ond on a wild pitch, and third on apassed ball. Helen Gemmill and KarenWalsh walked to load the bases beforeGrossman laid down her bunt.Kennedy indicated that everyone onthe team had an opportunity to play inthe last four games, and that she is try¬ing to schedule another game for nextweek. The Maroons have yet to resche¬dule a rained out game against North¬eastern Illinois University.MAROON962-9555“Anyone who liked ORDINARY PEOPLE’or TENDERMERCIES’ will love this profoundly moving, magnifi¬cently acted tribute to the human spirit.”— Richard Freedman.

Shortstop MikeMedina and freshman Mike Novak ledthe way with four and three hits re¬spectively, and Novak led the teamwith four RBI’s. Freshman DougMcNelis collected the win, pitchingthree innings and giving up four hitswhile facing 18 batters. Weber andSMith relieved McNelis in the fourthand seventh innings and gave up onlythree runs between them.The Redmen countered a three-runfirst inning burst by Chicago with fourof their own in the same inning in thesecond game of the doubleheader.They added three more runs in thefourth and another in the fifth to ice an8-3 win. John Shimkus went the dis¬tance and gave up 10 hits and 6 walks.Chicago, led by first baseman JohnGernon with two singles, managed onlysix hits.Chicago took an early morning bus toAppleton, Wisconsin, Tuesday to playthe last two conference games of theyear. The Vikings’ park is known to bea hitter’s park and it honored that rep¬utation again. In the top half of the firstinning Medina and Nocak each hit solohome runs. The lead was shortlived,however, as the home team knocked four pitches out of the park in the sec¬ond inning. The Vikings took a 10-2 leadand went on to beat Chicago 18-3 on 14hits in 5 innings.The second game at Lawrence wasmuch closer, and again Chicagojumped out to a first inning 2-0 lead.Leadoff batter and shortstop Medinadoubled and second baseman Andy Sa-liman reached on an error. Gernon ad¬vanced the runners with a bunt, andNovak brought them home with a do¬uble to left field. The score remained2-0 until the fourth inning when Sca-hefer of Lawrence tagged a three runhomer to left field. Lawrence scoredonly once more in the fourth but fourruns proved to be enough as Chicagofailed to produce offensively for therest of the game. Shimkus pitched an¬other fine game but had little help fromhis teammates again.Chicago’s varsity record now standsat 2-15 while the JV is undefeated at 2-0.The varsity has six games left andthere are two more games with NilesCollege scheduled for the junior var¬sity.

AllenLet Kittle DHWith age, sometimes comes wisdom, and alwayscomes deterioration of reflexes. For G. Matthewsand G. Foster, age has brought both wisdom andslower reflexes. At the urging of M. Schmidt, Matth¬ews switched from a 36 to a 33 ounce bat during the’83 season, so F. Mitchell reports in the Tribune. Thelighter bat is probably responsible in great part forMatthews sensational post season and his rathergaudy and auspicious start this season. Hall of Fameslugger R. Kiner suggested that Foster try a lighterbat. Foster listened, then abandoned his trademarkjet black bludgeon for a sleek, pale bat, and is nowamong the RBI leaders for the first time in his Metcareer.Yet not everyone grows in grace and wisdom. Forinstance, take Richard Allen, the former ballplayer,not the former national security adviser. When Allenarrived in the majors in ’63, he carried a 40 ouncebat. When he was asked to leave the majors in 1976,he had changed only his uniform (five differentteams, four in three years) and his name (from R. toD.) from when he first came up; his bat weighed thesame. Allen had to retire in only his 34th year of agebecause he put himself behind the fastball prema¬turely with his enormous bat and even largerpride.His relatively early retirement was the last of aseries of disasters in Allen’s baseball life, the first ofwhich was the Phillies’ folding in ’64. It continuedthrough his being a superstar too old to earn a hugecontract and too young to be associated with base¬ball’s simpler past. Maybe his retirement wasn’t thelast blow. Maybe hitting over 340 home runs andbeing dropped from the Hall of Fame ballot afteronly one outing was the last trauma; or maybe notbeing allowed to play long enough to earn the thennewly negotiated pension which the Players’ Associ¬ation fought for to compensate the stars of Allen’sera, was the last tragedy.With Allen, the thick head was the problem, andthe heavy bat only a symptom. If he had switched toa smaller bat, he might still be hitting home runstoday, in the American League of course, along withJ. Burroughs, R. Zisk, and D. Kingman. Or, he mighthave been headed for Cooperstown, along with J.Mize...I’m looking for someone to explain to me Whitev Herzog’s logic. He has N. Allen warm up in the lateinnings for possible relief action one night, and hashim start a game the following afternoon. He shuf¬fles, or rather shuttles, G. Hendrick and D. Green,both good righthanded hitters, between first baseand right field every day. Is Whitey trying to confusehis team out of a prolonged losing streak or did heconfuse them into it?S. “R.” Trout has looked exceptionally fine in hislast three starts, giving up only four runs in 23 1/3innings, which include two complete game victories.He seems to have lost his habit of losing leads in thesixth inning, which is good news to Dl. Green, espe¬cially with the Cubs’ recent extra-base hit spree...Speaking of pitchers, I think someone threw a per¬fect game last week. —DAC* * *When is Greg Luzinski going to retire? I’m sureWhite Sox manager Tony LaRussa has been contem¬plating this question for the past week after the lessthan stellar fielding of Ron Kittle cost the Sox twogames. Two weeks ago in a game against the Yan¬kees Kittle was caught playing a shallow left fieldwhen Ken Griffey lofted a game-winning RBI overhis head in extra innings. Then last week in DetroitKittle misjudged a ninth inning pop by Lance Par¬rish which fell in for another gamer.LaRussa might consider moving Kittle out of left,if there was some place to put him. His glove makeshim a liability anywhere in the field so the only placefor him would be the designated hitter spot which isalready occupied by Luzinski.This spring Kittle said he was happy with his de¬fense but the hitters in the American League areprobably happier...The Sox came home after getting swept by theTigers to greet a red hot Cal Ripken, Jr. Mondaynight. Ripken greeted future Hall of Famer TomSeaver by cracking two doubles and a long homerun, and then was robbed of a triple by Rudy Law’sgreat diving catch. This is his third year in themajors and after a slump in the beginning of hisrookie year he’s caught fire and has not cooled offyet. He won the MVP award last year and he’s off toanother great year as he’s batting .350 with sevenhome runs. Speaking of red hot, the Detroit Tigers have wonsix straight after they had a nine-game winningstreak snapped by Kansas City. In addition to greatpitching, the Tigers have received some big breaksthis season. Besides Kittle’s blunder, sure-handedFrank White dropped a two-out grounder in the bot¬tom of the ninth to give the Tigers a win over KC, andthey came back with three runs in the bottom of theninth to beat the Twins.Phil Niekro has found the American League verymuch to his liking. So far he has won all four of hisappearances with an 0.98 ERA. He is one of twoknuckleballers in the AL, along with Texas’ CharlieHough, and his floater is giving batters fits. The 45-year old hurler will be in Chicago with the Yankeesnext week after the Sox finish a weekend series withthe Bosox that begins tonight...Former (and future?) bad boy Dave Kingman hassupposedly turned a new leaf with the Oakland A’s.After having many exciting experiences with sports-writers over the past few years — including dousinga writer with ice-water and having frequent silentspells — Kingman has decided to be more amiabletoward the writers. He is now talking to them and notpulling any practical jokes on them. Maybe it’s hisreturn to the San Francisco area, where he can sailhis boat, that has changed his attitude. But I guessyou change your attitude fast after being rejected bythe Japanese League.His new attitude has transformed his hitting. He isleading the league in home runs after hitting three ina game at Seattle and two in a game at FenwayPark. This week he was named AL Player of theWeek...Wait till he sees the Metrodome in Minneso¬ta.The Sox have sent down third baseman Tim Hu-lett, leaving Vance Law as their only third baseman.After trying all different ways to get Law off of third,including trying to play him in the outfield, it lookslike LaRussa will settle for Law’s limited productionat third in exchange for his glove. Mike Squires’ at¬tempt at third seems over after he mishandled someattempts earlier this week. —CFDennis ChanskyCraig FarberMaroon ScoreboardMen’s Track Women’s TrackThe U of C men’s track team wonboth ends of a double-dual meet lastTuesday, defeating Concordia 123-23and University of Illinois at Chicago108-35.Paul Song led all competitors record¬ing 3 wins.

Root responded, “No, not re¬ally. Things just seem to be coming to¬gether. I hope to be even quicker withsome hot weather.’’Root and seven other athletes shouldget some good weather at the DrakeRelays today and tomorrow. BobFischer claims that 1960 was the lasttime Drake had bad weather. Accord¬ing to Fischer, “This is God’s meet,and He likes to see good perfor¬mances.”Tenniscord snapped, as he is now 8-1 for theseason.The Maroons, now 7-2 for the season,will try to regroup as they head forWhitewater, WI today to compete inthe prestigious Midwest Invitational.Coach Bill Simms commented, “I thinkwe’ll put it together and post a strongshowing this weekend.

Accen¬tuating the overall success of the team,several individuals have turned in par¬ticularly outstanding performances.Helen Straus has wreaked havoc on theschool record books with new school re¬ cords in the javelin and the triplejump, while freshman Maria Del Fa-vero set a new mark in the discus. Thehigh marks of Straus in the javelin, tri¬ple jump, and heptathlon have quali¬fied her for the Nationals in all three ofthose events.Head coach Linda Whitehead com¬mented. “I feel we have an excellentchance to take conference; everyonemust do her part.” A complete run¬down of Wednesday’s meet at Whi-tewater will appear in Tuesday’sMaroon. —Geoff Sherry.Gates is All-AmericanFor the second straight year.

LCB217' April 27, 1984 • 16th Yearby William WeaverLet’s cut through the high-tech presenta¬tion of the Field Museum and see whatblack folk artists are saying. GeorgeWhite explains: “this picture is showingMr. Von Eric with the iron claw on KillerKnocks. When Mr. Von Eric get that ironclaw on a man he is got to go down. I don’tcare what nobody say, Von Eric is the bestwrestler in the U.S.” And looking down onthis hilarious scene are wickedly stereoty¬pical plebes, there to watch the circusbloodbath. White constructs little contem¬porary dioramas, fully aware of their bit¬ing social commentary. Joe Louis takes theplace of the oppressors at White’s shoe-shine box, but his benign bulk belies hisevil status: this man is a hero.Sister Gertrude Morgan claims that thehorrific figure she painted in one of herbiblical allegories is “the red dragonsatan serpent devil; real name is Lucifer.”She says you are going to hell if you don’twatch out and then shows you what it is:seamy bright red for the most part withmonsters and quotations from the GoodBook to explain their presence. She alsolives in her paintings, an unassuming littlefigure in a white nursing outfit, for sheknows herself to be the bride of Christ andshe is going to the Mew Jerusalem.Damned if we’re not going to see N-.J. too.and it looks like a sub-development, butthis is a sub-development with soul, vi¬brant color, and resolute strength, andyou don’t mind living there since theangels there tell you so.Jesse Aaron sees souls in objects. Hetakes dead trees and driftwood and ex¬cises from them comfortable faces whichalways look goofy and at home insidetheir wood. One of his faces (on a totempole) has stick-on plastic yellow eyes and ashabby old hat to top it off. As a result, hegets the artistic equivalent of sittingaround the porch on a sunny day, ormaybe a living shaggy dog story. “HunterWith Dogs” is an exquisitely complexpiece, as Aaron takes a piece of driftwoodwnich looks like a set of antlers and makeseach point an animal, the stem being thehunter. Amazingly enough, it works out,the contorted branches move as the dogsbeg for their lead.This show allows one to share very dis¬tinct personal visions; the viewer per¬ceives a working mind and viewpoint be¬hind each piece. As William Edmonson says"I didn’t know I was no artist until theycome and tell me I was.” We don’t see ’artfor- art’s sake’ here; every work remindsus of a life story and a quiet struggle toexist and create. Most of the artists exhi¬bited here did not start to create until latein their lives, when their stories and fig¬ures were ready to burst full-blown fromtheir brains. The repression of these artis¬tic impulses places an emphasis on life andhistory in the show’s art, the oddly effec¬tive quirky visions being the result of con¬templation of the strange way that thingsare and used to be.The presentation of this, however, left alot to be desired. Most of the works were uneasily interred in high-tech hangingglass and chrome display cases which re¬flected harshly in the bright light. To makethis look more “authentic” the backgroundof the cases and walls were painted anearthy brown, the effect being obtrusive ifnot condescending. It took about 30 min¬utes to get past the glitter and allow theart to gently speak its ‘peace.’ The mainproblem was that there just wasn’t enoughspace in the hall for the exhibition (per¬haps they could have taken over the hallnext door with its haute decor Eskimoshow).Scant account was also taken of the livesand environments of the artists. Each ar¬tist had a bio-plaque installed next to hisor her works, but there was no sense ofcommunity in the show; the ‘folk’ art wasshown only for its aesthetic value, notdelving into the society that formed it.Some of the show’s attitude was summedup by a young mother there who apolo¬gized to her bored child: “Well, it's inter¬esting to see what people do without anyexperience and when they just put thingstogether from their own lives.”Well, true, but that makes the concept of‘folk’ art a moot point. Bill Traylor, theonly ex-slave in the show, produced stun¬ning drawings that looked like southernversions of the Lascaux cave paintings.The power and sorrow of these could notbe explained in simply aesthetic terms; hiswas a complex mind I missed knowing.Ulysses Davis carved busts of all the presi¬dents with Lincoln looking suspiciouslyblack, and Nixon having the most gro¬tesque face in the show. Were these simplydecorations for his barbershop wall (as im¬plied in the notes)? This leads to anotherproblem, the lack of both modern andslave art. The show had no works in itwhich predated 1900, and very few mod¬ern pieces. This was a shame, since much ofthe history and context of the black folkstruggle, life, and artistic life was leftout.Unfortunately, these omissions ostens¬ibly turned the exhibit’s tone from beingthe art of ‘black folk’ and culture to ‘folk’or ‘primitive’ art, leaving the works them¬selves to successfully destroy the myth ofthese categories’ ‘limited expression.’Steve Ashby also works with mixedmedia; a few thin wooden boards, a pair ofpants, a stick, paint, and a scythe. But inhis hands, these frail objects developdepth, space, and a certain lively cranki¬ness, as the “Man With Scythe” plaintive¬ly surveys his domain. This piece symbol¬izes all the artists' stifled but proudbeings, ones that are now demanding rec¬ognition through their art. Many of the ar¬tists started to create as divine missionsand their fervor shows, the mission is tospread the gospel about the world, its joysand hardships. To see the show is to get afascinating and wonderful glimpse ofthese intense visions and lives, and thatglimpse is enough to understand that thisterritory remains largely unexplored bythe show itself. “Black Folk Art in Ameri¬ca” is at the Field Museum, E Roosevelt Rdand Lake Shore Drive through July 15.Artist Inez Nathaniel-Walker AMATTEROFCONSCIOUSNESSGet in Step forString Of PearlsatSIMULATEDPEARLAn Evening ofBallroom Dance Instruction FRIDAYAPRIL 278 p.m.IDA NOYES HALLFREE!UC IDRequiredour community ttecnecmeKSmMiWMy0 /// 'i #3•v. / 1m - ,k-^-^ V, .Vn'|the bOLOCAUStK PK.0QRRCY1 OF R£AC»nC»& CDUSIC FOR YOCO YlJvshoM}5UD6XY, APRIL 29. 1904, H:Op t>.cf).conGPXQMion Roora zeceK5200 south hY6e pm.k blvo.the by6epMa-Kenuxx>6 council ofjecuish oRQtvnizAtionsthe public is inviteO to Atcen6 INTRAMURAL REMINDERForfeit depositsmust be picked up by the following dates:BASKETBALL May 1SOCIM June 8T-shirts awarded during the 1983-84 academicyear must be picked up no later than June 15.&S.

Look at them dis¬creetly, taking in each on its ownterms. But ignore all this “medita¬tive surface" stuff. Curator CarterRadcliffe knows not what he does.He can't seem to find a thread tohold these often very good (thoughnone of them very great) paintingstogether. About the most discrimin¬ating thing that can be said of all ofthem is that they take off from Ab¬stract Expressionism, using its for¬mal terms — saturated color, thickpaint, and the all important brush¬stroke — for very different formalends. Where Abstract Expressionismsought to invest the brushstrokewith a power that the view translat¬ed into emotional force, these worksisolate that brushstroke and hold itup for inspection as a subject worthyin itself. If Radcliffe wants to callthis move meditative, he commits afundamental error. It was AbstractExpressionism that sought to in¬voke, to conjur, and to move. TheAbstract Expressionists painted foran audience, and located the paint¬ing in the act of viewing or translat¬ing. That these surfaces too areprimed for meditation may verywell be true. But that’s our doing.What in face we have here is a gen¬eration of painters that, taking theircue from Jasper Johns, continue theCubist tradition of exploration, notevocation.Two examples should make thisclear. There's a small John’s Targetin the exhibition. In it, each dabbingstroke is preserved in encaustic, a combination of beeswax and pig¬ment that hardens into an immut¬able mass. The painting is thus a fos¬sil record of its creative process. Thelarge Robert Ryman white paintingshares this passion for the self-referential. Two thin metal bands,one at the bottom of the piece, rein¬force the weight and metallic natureof the aluminum surface. Both ofthese works are unremittingly cool,dispassionate, and silent. Thecooled-off Abstract Expressionistbrushstrokes that enliven theirforms carry no emotional weight.They say nothing of the artist, of theheat and passion of creation, or ofthe reflection that inspires thosepassions. They are instead ciphers ofthe art of painting.

Mr. Ratcliff will specif¬ically discuss the paintings includedin the exhibit, which he helped to or¬ganize, and will touch upon the rela¬tionships between the works Thelecture, entitled “Jasper Johns andThe Meditative Surface,” is proba¬bly also worthwhile if you are inter¬ested in modern and contemporaryart for the information that it con¬tains alone, as long as you can standheavy doses of contemporary artcritics’ languageRatcliff’s premise may be hard forsome, but his argument will no doubtbe worthwhile. The talk is Sunday,April 29 at 4:00 p.m. in the galleryand will cost $2.00 for students andmembers of the Renaissance Societyand $3.00 for the public.

This room-larqe in¬stallation examines conventions ofscale, and the role they play in com¬municating meaning to the viewer,by playing with sculptural and flatrepresentations of verbal messagesFor example, a larger-than-humanwooden image states “BIG”;wrapped around the wood whichforms each letter individually ispaper on which is inscribed, consecu¬tively, over and over, ‘Ideas IdeasIdeas Ideas...’ Similarly, Objecti¬fied LUST’ and ’Submerged INTEN¬TION’ make an appearance aroundthe room, which is given a hint of co¬herence by the nearly room-large,semicircular statement MESSY MO¬RALITY’. Constructed of papermache, this message confronts theviewer on entering the gallery,presenting a general impression ofboth form and content of the instal¬lation as a whole — which becomes amore detailed understanding as weexamine our surroundings, follow¬ing the sequential order suggestedby the linearity of the verbal aspectof the representation.

Tue-Sat, 11-5. 751-2016 Free—NMTen Years of Collecting at the MCA: Thismuseum-wide exhibit includes, pre¬dictably enough, art both wide in va¬riety and uneven in interest. The or¬ganization of the display seems alittle haphazard; while there does,ultimately, seem to be a degree ofchronological/‘Art Historical’ order,the large first room on the mainfloor belies what I fear may form atleast a part of the motivationalbasis for this show: ‘Look, we've gotit all here!’ What for instance, do wemake of the ‘juxtaposition’ of a Phi¬lip Guston painting and a Vito Accon-ci (noise) installation. Or, for thatmatter, an Alice Aycock sculptureand a Robert Smithson piece But forthose who are fearing either thehype of the show, or possibly bore¬dom, there is definitely much worthseeing — more, perhaps, than onespeed Recital Hall this weekend.

Admission is free.Scientific American: If Classicism is bor¬ing you, and you're just too tired toModernism, perhaps Concrete Goth¬ic Theater’s current production willrevive your interest in student the¬ater. Though artistically safe andconventional, Scientific American, astudent-written play by Owen Ha-gino, succeeds admirably through itsvery competent conception and exe¬cution. One leaves the theater inpleasant spirits, for while not muchis demanded of the audience certain¬ly enough is provided. The play de¬velops a somewhat moralistic themeconcerning the ethics of the scientist(or, more specifically, the Americanscientist), and scientific verity. Itreads something like a work ofscience fiction that tries to embracemore fundamentally human ques¬tions. This goal is both achievableand worthwhile, but the play fails toreach it. It fails to step out of genreand into literature. This, however,need not diminish the pleasure thatthe play gives, for within its realm itis sufficiently able. The theme is con¬structed with deliberation and care,and survives a few ambiguities andsome clumsy symbolism. (Indeed,who can miss the connection whenThomas Dolby’s "Blinded Me WithScience” blares out of Joey Warne’stape player?) We are kept intriguedand involved until the almost too cli¬mactic finish, when enough ends aretiea together to make us feel satis¬fied.The playwright, Hagino, certainlydisplays an ability to write, devel¬oping the characters and action withcomfortable balance and pace. Theinterplay between scenes, with theirimminently natural sequence, keepsthe play and its thematic construc¬tion moving at an entrancingly easyspeed. While this tends to leave thedrama somewhat tensionless, theaction does keep us interested, andwe can effortlessly slide into theplay’s fictional world. We are, infact, rarely reminded that the playis fictional, that the play is a play.Though this inarguably avoids animportant concern in modern the¬ater, and the play is in general theworse for its lack of attention tosuch concerns, it remains a pleasingand capable piece of drama.Director Stuart Feffer takes fewrisks in the productin, leaving thestage essentially artistically dry. Heis able to keep the action and char¬acter interaction vital and aliveenough to make us interested, evenintrigued at times. There are somewonderfully mobile scenes, with si¬multaneous and correlative actionthat is well-constructed and bal¬anced. We are rarely left waiting,and almost never overwhelmed bythe pace. His sense of the stage, vi¬sually and conceptually including hisplacement of actors and action, isoften beyond reproach, but occa¬sionally wanting. For instance, theaction of the drama is largely plan¬ar, like a shallow Classical relief,moving across the stage but not in orout of it. He employs the aisles of thehouse only rarely, and only oncewith any consequence. While this isin no sense distracting in its compla¬cent safety it lacks creativity.The most pleasing aspect of theproduction is found in the acting.Sprinkled with a few consistentlyfine portrayals, and several occa¬sions for delight, the cast is alto¬gether adept and comfortable.Scientific American won’t challenge,but it won’t disappoint. The play iseffective, competent, and, within itslimited artistry, intriguing enough.The performances are a delight, andthe direction capable.

Volunteers isset at an archaeological dig whichfive members of an unnamed Irishrevolutionary group have volun¬teered to join. The dig is to be shutdown before all of the Viking arti¬facts have been removed, and thefive “volunteers” are to be put backinto prison. The play is well written,and Friel has given us a set of strik¬ingly apt metaphors for the pas¬sions which drive the Irish to beararms against their countrymen;however, the “funny-yet-poignant"formula in this play does not quitework. Jeffrey Steels is in the centralrole of Keeney, a young prisoner who is described in the director’snotes as “a joker of brilliant wit,hiding his bitterness behind a ca¬scade of words.” The trouble is thatwhile his bitterness seems genuineenough, his wit isn’t all that bril¬liant. Keeney and his sidekick Pynebehave too much alike to make agood comedy team, and they delivertheir lines in a relentless manner re¬miniscent of Hawkeye and TrapperJohn on MASH. Keeney’s jokes arein fact so annoying that by the sec¬ond act I thoroughly disliked himand had ceased to care what hap¬pened to him. There are some fineperformances among the othermembers of the cast. Larry Branden¬burg plays an intense, broodingprisoner named Butt, a devotedfamily man turned revoluntionary.His performance struck me as themost realistic of the five prisonersand the only one who is able to com¬municate with any force the unspo¬ken love of a fighting man for hiscomrades. Joe Rogers as Knox isalso very good, although at times heis a bit too much the dreamy anddoddering old man. It is clear thatFriel is trying in volunteers to cap¬ture the essentials of the Irish char¬acter, both its capacity for wearydevotion toward a cause and itslove of eloquence and song. He part¬ly succeeds in the first endeavor,especially in the second act. ButKeeney's banter is unfortunately sostilted and spiritless that I am sureit cannot be representative of Irishwit; and so despite the play’s sever¬al moving moments and carefullmetaphorical construction, it is notvery entertaining.

LSF $2.50 - PFFanny and Alexander (Ingmar Berg¬man, 1983) the final installment in the Bergman canon, is a disappoint¬ingly thin tale of (what else) sin andredemption. There has been a lotwritten about the film’s magicallook at childhood but Bergman’ssensibilities are as mawkishly blackand white here as in the other pre¬sumably less magical works. Thestory centers around young Alex¬ander (Fanny’s double billing is per¬haps the movie’s most compellingmystery) and his warm and lovingfamily. His father is a theater manand the magical quality of thedrama and theater people them¬selves do provide the movie with apleasant first-half. Indeed the filmworks well here; the colors are richand the proceedings are as light¬hearted as one can expect from theBirdman. But just when you’re feel¬ing “magically” homey, the fatherdies and the movie becomes dumblySwedish. Calvinist fatalism is weilserved in he second half's gratuitouscontemplation of Hell on earth. Theproto-Soho-loft look that dominatesthis section mirrors the character’smoral beating by austere fate whichclues the audience into the nature ofdamnation. That we’re redeemed atthe end somehow doesn’t make upfor the lack of continuity in tone andstory that make this a schizophrenicmovie: one part a pleasant tale ofchildhood and the other a Scandina¬vian art film.

The Spectatorarticle, while breathlessly comparing thestocks and bonds success of the Universityto that of Harvard and Stanford, fails toaddress one of the more complex and in¬teresting questions surrounding the en¬dowment — namely, the extent to whichthe investments of the University contri¬bute to the support of corporations in¬volved in reprehensible and occasionallyillegal labor practices. In the upcomingmonth, President Gray will be approachedby a delegation of labor, church, and facul¬ty members who hope to bring a smallmeasure of public and moral accountabili¬ty to the investments of the University.The specific issue will be the University’s51/z million dollar investment in the Camp¬bell Soup Company — a company which iscurrently the target of a nationwide con¬sumer boycott to protest a well-document¬ed history of abusive and degrading laborpractices.The working conditions in the tomatoand pickle-cucumber fields of the Midwestwere first brought to the attention of thegeneral public in June of 1978 when over2,000 farm workers went on strike infields contracted to the Campbell SoupCompany. Under the leadership of theFarm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC),these farm workers have refused to returnto fields in which the average wage is$1.96 per hour and in which Social Securi¬ty benefits are regularly skimmed by dis¬honest employers; to fields in which “hous¬ing” is an overcrowded, plywood shack with no indoor plumbing and in which theonly water supply is often pesticide-conta- •minated; to fields in which discriminationagainst the primarily Hispanic workerstakes the form of segregated schools formigrant children; in which police harass¬ment of workers is routine; and in whichthe threat of eviction is regularly usedagainst those courageous enough to pro¬test their working and living conditions; tofields in which the infant mortality rate is125% above the national average and inwhich life expectancy is 49 years due toaccident and disease. Since the beginningof the strike in 1978 to the summer of1983 when FLOC organized a 500-milemarch from thhe fields of Ohio to Campbellheadquarters in Camden, N.J. to the pres¬ent day, the Campbell Soup Company hassteadfastly refused to sit down at the bar¬gaining table with the farm workers.Rather than negotiate, the response of theCampbell company has ranged from plant¬ing tomatoes in Michigan in hope of avoid¬ing the strike — in one such field, 43% ofthe work force was found to be children —to the implementation of mechanical har¬vesters — harvesters inefficient enough toreduce crop yield from 20-30 tons per acreto 14-16 per acre.While Campbell’s response to the strikehas been one of evasion, inefficient me¬chanization, and expensive ads in the NewYork Times, that of FLOC has been — sinceJanuary of 1979 — of a nationwide con¬sumer boycott of the Campbell Soup Com¬pany, a multi-national corporation whosesubsidiaries include Vlasic Pickles, LeMenu, Franco-American, PepperidgeFarms, Swanson Frozen Dinners, RecipePet Food, and Godiva Chocolate. As farmworkers are excluded from the NationalLabor Relations Act, the Campbell Com¬pany is not bound by law to recognizeFLOC as an elected bargaining unit; theboycott tactic is one in which consumers canaid workers in an attempt to force Camp¬ bell's to the bargaining table. While othercanning companies (including Heinz andHunt’s) are guilty of similar labor prac¬tices, the Campbell Company was chosenas the target of the boycott because Camp¬bell’s, as both the largest tomato proces¬sor in the U.S.A. and as the industry lead¬er, receives the majority of gross receipts— receipts in which 17% of the total is splitamongst farm workers, cannery workers,and farmers, while the remaining 83% isswallowed by the parent company.While Campbell’s continues to refuse tonegotiate with FLOC, support for the strikefrom consumer, labor, and church groupshas been steadily mounting. The Campbellboycott is presently endorsed by the inter¬national executive boards of the UnitedFarm Workers and United Auto Workers,while innumerable local union chapters —from the American Postal Workers to theInternational Longshoremen and the AFL-CIO — have pledged their support to thestriking Midwest farm workers. Supportfrom a diverse assortment of communityand church groups has also focused publicattention upon the plight of the farmworkers; in March of 1980, the Ohio Coun¬cil of Churches refused a $250,000 dona¬tion from Campbell, a donation intended toquiet the demands of the farm workers.While Campbell does not directly em¬ploy farm workers, the company does con¬trol prices within the entire industry.Campbell’s contracts are made with the in¬dividual growers, but by setting the priceper ton of produce in its contracts, Camp¬bell automatically pre-determines thewage earned by the workers employed byeach contract grower. While accepting noresponsibility for the farm workers at thebottom of the industry, Campbell, in prac¬tice, controls the entire industry by dictat¬ing all terms of the contract to the grower.Campbell's insistence upon arbitrarily set¬ting the terms of its contracts encouragesthe growers to adopt similar strong-armtactics in their own negotiations withworkers. Because farmers are paid at apiece rate — and not an hourly wage — thegrowers are able to claim that the workersare profit-sharing, and therefore self-employed. Unfortunately, “profit-shar¬ing” reads sharecropping — the same tac¬tic used after the Civil War to keep slaves on the plantation. Sharecropping, which iscurrently making a comeback in the Mid¬west, exempts both the companies and thegrowers with whom they’ve contractedfrom the provisions of the Fair Labor Stan¬dards Act, from child labor and minimumwage laws, and from Social Security de¬ductions. The position of FLOC is that theCampbell Soup Company (and all othercanneries) should negotiate directly withthe farm workers to arrive at a 3-partyagreement — canneries, growers, andfarm workers — beneficial to all partiesinvolved in the industry.As the owner of 5VS> million dollars inCampbell’s stock — 86,045 shares — theUniversity of Chicago can aid the strikingfarm workers by supporting a farmworkers’ resolution at the upcoming Camp¬bell’s share-holders’ meeting. The resolu¬tion will forbid Campbell from giving con¬tracts to growers who sharecrop; contractswill only be given to those growers whoemploy farm workers. According toGeorge Green of FLOC, the intent of mak¬ing the University’s investment public isnot to antagonize the University, but to in¬form the University of the situation in theCampbell fields and present the Universitywith the opportunity to contribute to theimprovement of the condition of the farmworkers. On May 16, President Gray willmeet with a delegation of Chicago churchand community leaders, including repre¬sentatives of the American Church Federa¬tion, the Community Renewal Organiza¬tion, the Urban Academy, the AmericanFriends, and the Church Federation ofAmerica, all of whom will be asking theUniversity to support the farm workers’resolution. Further, a faculty letter hasbeen drafted by Professor Langdon Gilkeyof the Divinity School and numerous stu¬dent organizations are actively express¬ing their support of the farm workers’ res¬olution.Pending the decision of President Grayand the Board of Trustees, consumers canexpress their support of the farm workersby refusing to buy Campbell's particularbrand of exploitation. For more informa¬tion on both the boycott and on opportuni¬ties for involvement in the boycott cam¬paign, attend a meeting on May 3 at 8:00in the Blue Gargoyle Library.Walter P Myers, Jr., Caryn’s Picture, 1984painting did not fall into the mainstreamof the Chicago School. Also, he felt there was a theme behind the show — destruc¬tion — and that his work did not representthis theme. What surprises me about thefirst statement and the gallery owner’sremarks is that I thought the ChicagoSchool had already died a natural death.When I told the painter that the work ofPaschke was strong around 1967, helooked at me incredusouly and said, “Ithink you’re wrong, it must have been1975.” It is an easily solved problem atthe Institute, they have two Paschke s, theone that is dwarfed by the 20-foot longGolub is from 1967 (some of the best of theChicago Imagists work was done when Iwas in grade school).Destruction does seem to be one of theoverriding themes of the show, but what ismore important to me are the works whichbetray in some hard to define way, a per¬sonal statement about the atists. Becauseof the destruction theme, there is little hu¬morous art to be found. An oversized Bo-tero-esque chair is a sculpture in the thirdroom, across from it is an egg-shapedburnt-looking rock of the same generalsize as the chair with the Washington Mon¬ument leaning precariously over a burnttree on its crest. The chair presents manylevels of interpretation, while the egg ismore of an image than an artwork.In the second room, the three panelMemory Fades, by Sidney Licht, is one suchpersonal statement. Dark and hollow,each panel tries to become part of theother, yet this conflict somehow producesa unified surface. In the fourth room, Mar¬by John ProbesEvery other year the Art Institute has asafon-type show of regional artists. Thisyear the three person jury selected overone hundred works from the more than1800 submitted. Some of these artists al¬ready have paintings in the permanentcollection; Barbara Rossi, Karl Wirsumand Don Baum come to mind. Others areprobably being seen by a wide audiencefor the first time. Two examples of thislatter group are Sue Julien, whose workwas shown in an exhibit last Halloween atWheaton College, and Anna Tate, a HydeParker whose work has been at the HydePark Art Center.Therefore, this show needs no justifica¬tion of any kind, because it serves the artpublic and the masses both. It was a goodselection of work form the professionalranks, with many new names as well. Thepeople who are part of the art scene criti¬cize the show because they see It in termsof a self-justification for the Chicago Ima¬gists. One gallery owner stated that in at¬tempting to define The Chicago School, theArt Institute "had killed it."One of the times this reviewer went tosee the show was with a painter friend. Hefelt that there were strong reasons whyhis work was not selected for the show. Hiskmfriede Hogan, Odalesque, 1983 Jerry Allison, The Offering, 1983guerite Forte’s “Airplane Disaster” uses afamiliarity of the Imagists, but succeeds inrising above the textbook familiaritywhich only a few of the paintings are suc¬cessful in overcoming. The same could besaid for “Day thru Evening Dream” byPaul C. LaMantia, which is at the end ofthe third room. Jay Songero’s “Chooseyour Weapon in A Utopian World” and“Lounging Around” by Mary TheresaGlines (both in Room 4) and also no¬teworthy because of their individualism.However, it is unfortunate “LoungingAround” is hung just below a huge darkpainting as it detracts from both pic¬tures.“The Offering” by Jerry Allison was themost unique work at the show. It revealsthe quirkiness of a mature hand. The semi¬frenetic neo-classicism depicts a lost icono¬graphy. It is the conflict between the sym¬bolic or ritual elements and the spectatorwhich leaves the spectator either laughingnervously or as a part of the ritual itself.The conflict between the symbolic and ritu¬al elements depicted and the viewercreates an atmosphere of you laughing atIt or it laughing at you which is unsettling.The show will be open through May 8 atthe Art Institute.THE GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1984—7IFEMMES: WORDS AND DEEDSby Matt Beatty and Franklin SoultsGenerally speaking, “new music” isn’twhat it’s cracked up to be. Advertisersand other chicmongers may try to convinceyou that the visual sheen and glimmer oftoday's bands is a daring innovative andaltogether much hipper approach to popsounds than the old stuff; but if you sitdown and listen to the radio or watch yourlocal video station, you’ll soon realize thatnot much has changed. As far as lyric con¬tent goes, the sounds of today may besomewhat less oafishly romantic, but theyusually just come off seeming colder. Andas far as radio programming goes, wellFM has just discovered top 40; somethingAM had known about, and then lost faithin, some time ago.Change figures in pop music as part ofits definition, that yesterday’s soundswere necessarily any better than today's;instead, what is indicted by the lack of ex¬citement in “new music” is a lack of changein the whole conglomerate structure of thepop market. Innovation and creativity arecertainly still possible within the system,and there are still quite a few talentedand even unique voices within the heart ofthe business, but it’s the story of those atthe edges, trying to get in, trying to getout or happy to be where they are, thatgenerates much of the best music of theeighties. Unfortunately, a great numberof these bands never get heard by anyonebut critics. Some, however, do get enoughattention to be saved from total obscurity,and Slash records has been a home formore than a fair share of them, the latestexample of which is the Violent Femmes.The Femmes self-titled debut albumcame out in late 1982 and had minor suc¬cess on the charts and a favourable recep¬tion by the critics all last year. Chancesare. though, that the majority of the U. ofC. student body still has never heard ofthem. They got some airplay in Chicago, asin other metropolitan centers, but, as theirsongwriter and lead singer Gordon Ganotold us, they’ve had trouble gettingplayed anywhere outside of big cities, in¬cluding in their home town of Milwaukee.Which is quite a shame, because theiralbum was one of the better ones of lastyear. The band is a basic three-piece (re¬gardless of what the MAB poster illustra¬tion shows) made up of Gano on guitar andlead vocals, Brian Ritchie on bass and Vic¬tor DeLorenzo on drums. They use acousticguitar and bass almost as much as electric,but they are hardly the average acousticrock band. The music is founded on thesame basic drive as the R&B that pro¬pelled the garage bands of the mid to latesixties. The instrumentation, however, islighter; it’s often closer to the bubble gumpop fare of that period than R&B, as isGano’s melodic sense. Classifying themwith the new “Paisley Underground”scene in L.A. would be a mistake though,because they don’t draw from the sixtiesin such an overtly referential manner; infact, as Gano suggests, similiarities withany group from 15 years ago may bepurely coincidental. Furthermore, themusic never really swirls like psychedelia,it almost always drives, or at least teasesone along in a way psychedelia neverdoes. The lyrics mostly deal with classicteen problems like loneliness, unrequitedlust and the like, and though they range inmood from winsome to truly pained, un¬derneath them all lies the unifying themeof obsession, a theme which is much moreevocative and suggestive than manyradio playlists will allow.This rather hasty phone interview withGordon Gano was arranged, I imagine, tohelp promote ticket sales for tomorrow’sconcert in Mandel Hall. Besides providingthe last few questions, Bill Coplin tried toarrange a meeting with the band forWHPK, which may or may not have comethrough. Try listening to your radio earlytomorrow evening for a longer talk withthe band.Grey City Journal: When do you think thenew album is coming out?Gano: I know its release date is some timein mid to late May. I think May 20th.GCJ: Is it all recorded?Gano: On yeah, we recorded it in Jan¬uary. GCJ: Is it different from the first?Gano: Yeah, it’s got all different songs.(Laughs)...No, it sounds very different.You'll know it’s us; that won’t be a prob¬lem I don’t think. But, uh, we’ve got someguest musicians, and a greater variety ofinstruments and also lyrical style and mu¬sical content.GCJ: You’ve got a horn player or some¬thing?Gano: Yeah, we have an appearance bythe “Horns of Dilemna.”GCJ: “The Horns of Dilemna,” yeah, when Isaw you guys in Chicago that horn sectionwas one guy.Gano: Right, right. That guy’s been themost consistent member of the “Horns ofDilemna.” His name’s Peter Valenrerri,and he plays on the record and does somesinging.GCJ: Do you have a single picked out yet?Something slick and commercial, I mean.Gano: Well that’s been a problem. There isnothing slick and commercial on it. There’snothing in my mind that jumps out like“Oh, this is the new wave dance hit.” Itdoesn’t work like that...I feel good aboutit though...and the few people who’veheard it in advance have liked it too.GCJ: In all the reviews of your first recordthe operative comparison has been withthe Velvet Underground and The ModernLovers. I’ve seen it over and over again,and though I think it seems kind of apt, Iwas wondering what you think about it.Gano: Well, I’m really tired of seeing it, al¬though most often I think those compari¬sons that are brought up are meant as acompliment. Certainly these are people Ihave a lot of respect for. I don’t feel likewe’re doing the same kind of things theywere doing...I don’t know, but when a newband comes out, you wanna make compari¬sons...I’m just hoping that as the secondalbum comes out and more people get toknow us, we can stand on our own musicalmerit; but as far as reviews go, I hope thatthose comparisons fade away.GCJ: I don’t want to push this, but did youguy listen to them before you started writ¬ing songs? Do you count them as an influ¬ence?Gano: Urn (pause), I’d been writing songsbefore I’d heard either of them...but Iheard the Velvet Underground earlierthan the Modern Lovers...I was brought upsemi-sheltered culturally, so I hadn’t evenbeen turned on to Jonathan Richman till Iwas opening up for him: I didn’t know whohe was.GCJ: Really?Gano: Yeah, but then I found out and I re¬ally think he's great.GCJ: I guess it’s like REM which was com¬pared to the Byrds all the time, and theydidn’t even know any of their songs.About your lyrics, they all seem to beabout...urn...teenage angst, loneliness; Iget the impression that these were writ¬ten about the feelings you had as youwere growing up. Is that accurate?Gano: Yeah, that’s fairly accurate, thoughthe songs on the record aren’t means as a“dear diary”...I don't feel like I should botypecast as a lonely adolescent who can’tget along with the world. To me, thatdoesn’t make much sense to think aboutmyself as that kind of person.GCJ: Well, do you find that your lyrics arechanging as you get older?Gano: Yeah, I think so. I think there’s lessof the lonely adolescent lyric...I meanthey’re certainly very valid. Even though Iwrote them when I was in that age catego¬ry called “adolescent,” I know there’speople as old as thirty years old who lovethe songs and get into it, and I don’t thinkit’s all just a nostalgic feeling of “Oh, I re¬member when I was a teenager.” I don’tknow, I think it cuts across more than justa little time capsule of what it was likewhen I was a lonely adolescent, althoughcertainly there’s elements of that inthere...Now I’m writing a variety of dif¬ferent songs. Like I mentioned, on the nextalbum there will be a bigger variety oflyrical material and such.GCJ: In particular I’m a big fan of the song“Good Feeling” which sounds differentfrom the rest of the album. Was there any¬thing in particular which inspired thatone?Gano: Um...(Pause) Yes. But I just can’tsay, I just can’t talk about it.GCJ: Okay. That’s cool, (nervous laugh¬ter). Well, can I just get some basic factsabout you guys, like your ages for examp¬ le.Gano: Sure. I'm twenty.GCJ: Twenty? (thoughful surprise).Gano: Yeah, no longer an adolescent,right?GCJ: Right.Gano: And Brian I think is twenty-two; Ithink, I’m not sure. And Victor is twentyseven, twenty eight, somewhere in theupper twenties.GCJ: How did you guys start off?Gano: Well, we all met up in Milwaukee.Brian and Victor had met through a mutualfriend — a musician, songwriter — andthey ended up getting together in a bandand hitting it off real well. And then my¬self, I was playing some time solo in Mil¬waukee — this is while I was still in (high)school — and it was during that time that Imet Jonathan Richman. So that was a fewyears back. Brian had heard me then andliked what I was doing a lot, and he put itin the back of his mind, thinking that some¬day we might get something going. Andthen it just sort fell together accidental¬ly-It was in the spring, early summer of1981 that we first started playing to¬gether, and I had just graduated fromhigh school. Then we were going to do itjust temporarily for that summer. Brianand Victor were going up to Minneapolisto play with friends up there, but thatdidn’t work out. So then it came fall andwe decided to stick together because weere really excited about what we weredoing musically, although we didn’t haveany degree of popularity at all.GCJ: Well now you’re on the top of manycritic’s polls and your album has got a na¬tional release. Where to you think you’lldo from here? I mean, how do you likeyour new success?Gano: Well, it’s all in the process. Thingskeep growing and developing. Of course,from an outside point of view there's suc¬cess. The album’s got a national and inter¬national release in Europe and Australia,yet there’s all kinds of problems that arealmost continual, both business and artis¬tic. So inside of it, it doesn’t feel as suc¬cessful as it might appear...I don’t know ifI really accept the fact that it's as popularas it has been. I guess because it hasn’ttranslated itself into, you know, financialsuccess.GCJ: On, really?Gano: No, not at all. Though in some de¬gree it’s great just to be able to work,‘cause there’s so many people who don’thave jobs. I mean not just in the entertain¬ment field, but even there there’s somepeople who spend years working at it,whether it’s in theatre or whatever. Youknow, they’re just out of work...It’s notthat we’re in the alley, but compared tomost any band that you could think of onany side of the national or internationalscene, we're on the low end as far as thatgoes. We’re sort of practically or com¬pletely unknown as far as the whole enter¬tainment field goes.GCJ: But do you think your sound evenlends itself to getting on top 40 radio? Ordo you really care?Gano: Well, I care, but I think our soundlends itself to not getting on there. I reallydon’t know. There’s been times when I’vethought we will need that top 40 hit, Ithink...but then there’s the (fact) that peo¬ple don’t even know what we’re doing...Well, this might be a case in point. In Mil¬waukee, where we’re from, our recordwas selling, in some areas, second only toMichael Jackson’s Thriller, but anyway,for all the success we were having, all theradio stations — not just the top 40 but allthe rock and roll FM stations — would notplay our record. Slash was sending themnotices saying “Well wake up! These guysaro from your own hometown, they’rehaving this much success in Milwaukee,they’re having this much success on theWest and East coasts critically,” and yetthey wouldn’t play our record. So I thinkthat we could get a great success in manyareas and not get any success in areas likeradio and TV. And you know we’ve donenational TV in Europe and Australia, weget more respect from the media in thoseplaces than the U.S. So it’s kind of weird.GCJ: But you don’t see yourselves pander¬ing to them in the future, writing musicthat’s geared to the top 40. I mean yourlyrics say “fuck” and all that...Gano: Well it’s more than that. Our sounddoesn’t fit into any acceptable category.We’re not the heavy metal sound or the'disco sound...GCJ: That’s something I wanted to ask youguys. How did you ever come up with thatsound?Gano: Well, it was really very organic; itwasn’t a very intellectual thing of tryingto decide what would make us sound un¬usual. Brian had always liked the idea ofplaying on an acoustic bass, like a maria-chi bass — he sent away for one and hemade one himself — and it all came fromjust our interest in being creative.GCJ: So you all have an equal say in ar¬ranging the tunes? I mean the bass is real¬ly prominent, it’s hardly a guitar-orientedalbum. Gano: Well, that’s been the style of our ,band. There’s a lot of focus (on equality); (Brian's an incredible bassist. When I write ia song I don’t write the bass part or thedrum part. So the way the music ends up .sounding is because of Brian and Victor as Jmuch as myself. If I’d been playing withtwo other people, it wouldn’t sound the ,way it does. ^GCJ: One thing about the language in your /record that we mentioned earlier. I notice <in your case — unlike, say, the Pretenders |where there’ll be an occasional “fuck off” <and it gets very solicitous, like it’s trying jto stir something — in your case, I think jit’s trying to capture a certain feeling. Or Jare you using vulgarity in your songs sim- vpie to incite emotion? aGano: Oh no, not at all, not at all like you vwere saying. If there’s vulgarity in a song, j,there was no conscious attempt at all to in¬cite the excitement of somebody else, or agetting a crowd to jump up, or anything ^like that. It’s just what felt right for the |jsong: something about communication and |<expression, but nothing like you were say- ping. You know what I’m saying, right? 0GCJ: Yeah, I get it... j(Gano: Yeah, all right. hGCJ: There’s a certain drive to your music /to listen to the words, but when you’re oplaying, do you expect to see people out hthere dancing? yGano: Yeah sure, sure. We expect almost eanything because we’ve played for so $many audiences that just dance and getreal rowdy, we’ve played for so many au- ^diences that sit down and stay perfectly |jstill, so you know I expect to see people adancing, but then if they’re not, that’s fine otoo. As a performer there’s something siabout that energy you feel back from an jSaudience, and I really want to feel that en- (cergy. If they just quietly listen to every jCword, and applaud only in between the s*songs, but if you can feel that energy, now nithat’s fine. Sometimes you get an audi- reence where the energy is very strange andthey’re not really giving it back to you, Uiwhether they’re dancing or not. eiGCJ: I think you’ll get it all back here Sat- s<urday night. TIGano: Well alright. _The Violent Femmes will be playing Sat¬urday night at Mandel Hall. Tickets at 6dollars for students and 9 dollars for non¬students. A good time should be had beall. |NSPIRATIONjarby Maeve Dwyer ve“Come on down and meet your scmaker, come on down and make the thstand,” pleads the singer. “I’m stand- pfing in the middle of the road with my scpast behind me,” answers the other. miOne is the cry of a band still immersed tinin the enthusiasm of its own innocence, Brthe other the sigh of a band exploring a exnewfound maturity.

On stage Lik8—FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1984—THE GREY CITY JOURNALIurf)lteieJPasthieur:ersf”igikDrTV3Ug.origleid■y-iicre'LitiStSOetlU-tlytiene"ganin-tryhe>wdi-ndi,at-at-6>n-be by David GableEdgar Varese cut a vivid figure in moreways than one: Frank Zappa was initiallyattracted to the French-American compos¬er when he chanced upon Varese's photoon an album cover in a record shop. Zappabought the record because Varese resem¬bled a visionary "mad scientist" but wassoon enthralled by the wizardry of themusic itself.Born in 1883 in Paris, the son of an engi¬neer who opposed his career in music,Varese was raised in France and Italy.After studying at various music schools, hespent the period before World War I inParis and Berlin becoming acquainted withsuch composers as Debussy, RichardStrauss, and the visionary Ferruccio Bu¬soni, whose program for an optimisticmusic of the future is better realized inVarese’s music than in his own. Varesealso knew the novelist Romain Rolland,whose fictional composer Jean-Christopheis modelled on Beethoven and Varese.In 1915, after a brief stint in the Frencharmy, Varese moved to New York. Therehis sympathies for the Dadaist and Surrea¬list artists were reinforced when he fell inlove with Louise Norton, the translator ofboth Rimbaud and the mescaline journalsof Henri Michaux. They later married. Dur¬ing the 1920s, in New York, Varese wrotehis first mature works beginning withAmeriques — literally New Worlds. This isone of only two works (with Arcana) whichhe ever wrote for large orchestra. Most ofVarese’s works from the ’20s are for smallensembles, culminating in the all-percus¬sion Ionisation.In the 1930s, Varese returned to Pariswhere he was befriended by the Surrea¬lists and planned an opera with AntoninArtaud, the Surrealist poet and architectof the so-called "Theatre of Cruelty." Thesets were to have been done by the Span¬ish painter Joan Miro, while the "plot"(discussed but never written) was prophet¬ic of the Kubrick film, 2001: A Space Odys¬sey. Because of Artaud’s increasing mad¬ness, this tantalizing project was neverrealized.Varese never completed another workuntil the 1950s, when he wrote Deserts forensemble and electronically-generatedsound on tape and the Poeme electronique.The latter score combines electronically generated sounds with so-called musiqueconcrete: taped sounds (e.g. a woman sing¬ing, trains in motion, bells, etc.) which areelectronically distorted.Varese resided in New York until hisdeath in 1965.Varese’s music is perhaps the closest to asurreal music that there is, but the label istoo narrow for the music. Further, Surreal¬ism replied too heavily on the "surreal"distortion of the referential aspects of lan¬guage and visual objects for direct trans¬lation into the non-referential, essentiallyabstract, realm of music. Yet, in a new wayin Varese, the sound irrupts through themusical code which it transmits, and thosesound objects in his musique concrete (e.g.,the woman singing) are not without theirreferential aspects.Varese believed in a music which wouldbe "open rather than bounded and wrote:"Italian futurists, why have you slavishlyproduced only what is boring and common¬place in the bustle of our daily lives? Idream of instruments obedient to mythoughts which, with their contribution ofa whole new world of unexpected sounds,will lend themselves to the exigencies ofmy inner rhythm."Varese’s music favors brass and wood¬wind instruments over strings because oftheir greater precision of attack. Vareseexpanded the importance of percussion in¬struments in his music to an unprecedenteddegree. His spacious music pits breadplanes of coruscating sound against eachhother in what Robert Morgan has called"the emancipation of sound.” Rhythmical¬ly, Varese owes a great debt to The Rite ofSpring (1912) of Stravinsky, but Vareseexpanded Stravinsky's techniques in in¬teresting new directions. In The Rite, thereare continually shifting measures, as forexample: 12123121234 5, etc. Butwhere in Stravinsky these shifting rhyth¬mic groupings are themselves measuredby a steady underlying pulse or beat, inVarese the irregular groupings groupshifting, irregular pulses or beats. BothStravinsky and Varese employ brief me¬lodic cells which constantly repeat with in¬ternal variations or expansions. ElliottCarter has compared the net effect ofVarese’s music to "the clicking and rat¬tling of complex machinery that seems toproduce broken, out-of-phase cycles of 2sound.” 'S porary Chanit-c-r p a* -Mandei Hail .will mcluOf: twoVarese Ecuatonai are:Ralph Shapey. a friend and <Varese, will conduct The oreVARESE VERITENAL ROCKand on record, the Alarm strain to con¬vey this message through heraldicsongs of struggle and unity. In return,they ask the audience to embrace thisphilosophy of hope and take it as a per¬sonal mission. In what the bandmembers see as a troubled, difficulttime, especially in their native GreatBritain, they are saying, “We are anexample of what can be done with yourlife. We are proof that you can do some¬thing with and for yourself and forother people." Their music is a furiousembodiment of this commitment andpurpose, an inspiration of sound.Complacence and resignation are sinsagainst the human spirit to these youngidealists. Apathy and cynicism makethem angry. "We’re the young whostand up, we must never be silenced.We’ve gotta speak up now, for all oursakes...and keep on marching on,” theycry. In concert, they urge the crowd to“hold your hands up high," as they lifttheir guitars in unison with each otherand with the audience. "Where wereyou hiding when the storm broke?”they demand. The question is not a rhe¬torical one. In response, they expectnot so much an explanation of the pastas a commitment to the future, a beliefin the potential inherent in each individ¬ual.The Alarm are both recruiters andevangelists, with the almost militaristicbeat of the drums and the inspirationalpassion of their lyrics. They are naive,a trait they see as desirable, for it isthe opposite of cynicism. In their songs,they try to pour out every idea, everythought, every vision, as if they willnever have another chance to do so.Like the early efforts of their friends and fans, U2, the music of the Alarm cansometimes get mired in its own wordi¬ness. One has to really concentrate onthe lyrics to follow the song. The bandhave not yet focused their creativity.They have a goal, but it is a general aimwith no intermediary steps leading toits attainment. Each song tries to tellthe whole story by itself. Like the bandmembers themselves, the sonqs arefilled with enthusiasm and vehemence,but come close to the point were some ofthe meaning is submerged in the floodof words. The enthusiasm is contagious,but it can be confounding. But, it ispromising. Among today’s jaded andcynical critics, it is courageous to benaive, daring to be enthusiastic. TheAlarm must carefully balance on thethin line between optimism and delu¬sion.The Pretenders represent almost theopposite end of the spectrum. ChrissieHynde’s cool, intensely individualisticstance contrasts sharply with theAlarm’s empassioned, fiercely commu¬nal appeal. Yet, both are expounding amessage of survival, of not giving up,of drawing on one’s inner strength. TheAlarm actively promote their messagethrough encouragement and provoca¬tion. The Pretenders convey their mes¬sage through example and description.Hynde, singer and songwriter for theband, uses personal relationships andexperiences as metaphorical and literalcommunicators. She does not call heraudience to arms, she does not chal¬lenge them to take a stand. She is“standing in the middle of the road"and she does not care if anyone is therewith her. She’s "back in the fight," butit’s here own battle.If Chrissie Hynde issues a challenge toher audience, it is a silent one, burieddeep in songs intensely personal yetdefensively oblique. It is a challengethat says, if I can survive, you can. Shethen steps back from the scene, and con¬ tinues with her own struggles, leavingthe listener to do the same.In the past two years, the Pretendershave had more than their share of ad¬versity, with the death of two bandmembers and the subsequent regroup¬ing of the band coupled with Hynde’sbeing named correspondent in theKink’s Ray Davies’ divorce and givingbirth to his child. But, characteristical¬ly, she calls it "no big deal." Choosingbetween sitting around "feeling miser¬able” and "doing what we like to doand feeling miserable," she picked thelatter and began work on the Pre¬tenders’ third album.The result is a hit album, two top tensingles, "Back on the Chaingang” and"Middle of the Road" and a sold outtour. The new Pretenders, Hynde anddrummer Martin Chambers with gui¬tarist Robbie Macintosh and bassistMalcolm Foster replacing originalmembers James Honeyman-Scott andPete Farandon, do not sound technicallyvery different from the old Pretenders.But, some of the rebellion and "the hellwith you” attitude of the first twoalbums is gone. Hynde herself has mel¬lowed, she is no longer the hard-living,hard-drinking rock-n-roll terror sheonce was. “I’m not the cat I used to be, Igot a kid, I’m 33," she sings. Maybemotherhood has softened her, maybetragedy has worn her down. But, shestill has enough of the old spirit and re¬bellion left to dare anyone to make toomuch of her new "maturity.”The difference is that now the cyni¬cism is tinged with compassion. Sheadmits that a few years ago, she wouldhave ridiculed anyone taking a baby onthe road, but now she takes 14 monthold daughter Natalie with her from cityto city. Like the Alarm, her first writingwas more wordy, more direct, more bla¬tant. Lines like "But, not me baby, I’mtoo precious, so fuck off” and "Further¬more, I don’t like your trousers, or yourtaste in women, and what about yourmind, and your insipid record collec¬tion" are not exactly subtle. Now sheunderstands the circular logic of "I hurtyou, because you hurt me.” She begs“Show me the meaning of the word, Idon’t want to live without it...I wantlove.” The album’s title is Learning toCrawl, which seems to refer not only toher daughter and the band’s rebirth,but to her own growth. She is no longerrushing headlong into a confrontation.Instead, she is examining the situationana weighing ner choices. Still, Hynde remains a distant and re¬luctant rock "star." On stage, sheseems uncomfortable not only in frontof a large audience, but with the banditself. Little interaction occurs. Sheadmits she still does not know what tosay to an audience, so she says nothing.The songs must speak for themselves,and her smoky, velvety, sensual voicecommands the attention stage theatricscannot. Her voice is the focal point ofthe show and the bond between the oldPretenders and the new, the link join¬ing the old songs like the soaring "Mes¬sage of Love," the disdainful "Pre¬cious,” and the pleading "Brass inPocket,” with the new.Occasionally, Hynde raises an armover her head, and even more rarely,lifts her left knee to her guitar. By theend of the show, she seems a little morecomfortable, assured by the over¬whelmingly positive response from thecrowd. But, Hynde still does not try toput the final stone in the bridge be¬tween audience and performer. Pri¬vacy, even on stage, is as important asputting on a show, and Chrissie Hynde isnot going to give one up for the other.A band like the Alarm open them¬selves completely to their audience andto critics. They hang around after theshow to talk to fans, answering eachquestion as if they had not alreadyheard it a dozen times. Perhaps theyhave not heard the questions — theyare a new band just transcending cultstatus. They even try to "sneak” on anextra 10 minutes before the show isscheduled to begin so that they can playa few more songs than their allotted 45minutes would allow.The Pretenders, on the other hand,have toured many times. They havebeen through the first thrill of thepower of the stage, and have found thesatisfaction of the strength of a person¬al life to be more important. Whereonce the Pretenders' own defiance hadbeen their sort of naivete, their experi¬ences has become a source of stability.The Alarm dance, scream, shout, ges¬ture and cajole to get the audience in¬volved, to start people thinking. Chris¬sie Hynde and the Pretenders let theirmusic provide the animation that theythemselves lack. Only Hynde’s voice re¬veals the depth of emotion in the songs.The Alarm embrace the audience withtheir songs. The Pretenders sing of thepains and joys of their own embraces.Both encompass the breadth of humanexperience.THE GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1984—9AHyde Park Bank wants yournew car loan and we’ve got theinterest rates to prove it!If you are shopping for a new car, then make yourlast stop Hyde Park Bank.

The poem com¬ments not on what the author of the article,Michael Rabieh, saidt but only on the way hechose to say it.J* ■*& m SB w'-.a* *3 E A - ^ '**'Of great debates, and fervent wars in proseAnd haughty warriors armed in black and greyWho moil in Ink and spew forth rhetoricBefitting greater crimes than they can name;Of these, I pray, with words inspired on high.Sing to me, Muse, and tell die of the OneWho rules the realm of Rage and writes his worst,Who girds himself in th’armor of the pen,And metes out justice to minions at his feet. 4 ,A.Smokey-fingered Dawn arises in the East.She diffuses her grace on Earth and bringsThe gift of warmer winds from torrid South.Across the plains and over streams they fly,Halting once, where men in endless days do workAnd share their fruits with every neighb’ring town;Sweet-smelling sulfur, the scent of ripened steelDoes fill the air, and wends it way on North,Home of the empty kingdom. And there he rulesO’er realms of smoke and Stench, and he holds courts,The king of artful disputation, master debator,With stains of ink upon his grizzled handsAnd bearing paper cuts, the wounds of warsFought in the student prpss. The Rabid KingHe may be named, arch-author, valiant prince,Celestial lord of legions slinging ink,Servant of Cicero, the youthful heirTo Western Oratory’s vacant throne.Like proud Demosthenes he rails and cries,Vet weights not his tongue with pebbles by the sea,He saves his art the sagacious man to read.By point and counterpoint he makes his mark,And liberals around the globe do quake.Not just a spectator in mighty wars(As Addison, entombed, turns in his grave).The Rabid holds his standard high for thoseWho like the tint of blue, preferring graphsTo clever argument. The Rabid sits.The chair is deep and cold, the hall, unfitFor warriors of the golden pen, is still;Smokey-fingered Dawn doth give the only light,And heat Is scarce; the air is thick and close.Now reeking of industrial decay.This is the Rabid’s realm, yet he, still proud,Takes up his seat, surveys the eager crowd,For five alone now gaze on Rabid's face.The graceful Style is first, and at his sideSits artful Persuasion, with clever WitAnd keen Intelligence in back of them,And last behind them all slow Dullness sits. f&P,Now Rabid clears his throat. He sits secure,Is ready now to read his latest work.Tell me, Trivialita, sweet MuseOf human things inconsequential,Who now is mortal foe for mighty Rabid?Where now is Antony, that wicked brute?Where Burke? Where Henry? Where great Madison?Who is the man on whom the Rabid turns?‘Tis not a man, you say, but ‘tis a thing?Oh holy Muse, you turn him on small H.A.R.C.,And he, envenomed, spews his fiery rageAnd wastes high words on things of no import.Of such a mind is every gracious god?-Now he begins, reciting his great work,And now the minions listen close. Intent,They strain their ears determined still to hearThings unattempted yet in prose and rhyme,Not without cause. ’• y figjgf <y *“And they said it couldn't be donef”He cries, and graceful Style sits up and frowns,Unsure if it be best to Start a speechWith a dependent clause. Yet Rabid works.He presses on, assumes the voice of reason.“I think,” he thinks, expecting-all to think along,And thus agree on what the critic lights.Now Style is still, he $ts and sighs, aghastAt the King’s rough use of sentence fragments base“Or so implied the surveys.”, Rabid shouts,“A worthwhile goaf," “No more,’’ says Style to Wit,"This man by foul excess offends the ear.Why must the fragment see such careless ’ploy?”Disgruntled, graceful Style then holds his tongueAnd waits for yet more vile but simple faults.He waits not long. The King doth plunge ahead.Though graceful Style forgives the worst affront(Yet I must sing, the Muse impels, and soI quote: “The referendum on which yjgStudents must vote on April 1?.” How thisRedundancy does pain the eye to see!),He gives himself not leisure to forget { «King Rabid’s next offence. ‘‘Less active houses,*’Begins the King, and follows this brave startBy giving unto it a relative clause,This not itself a crime, but what succeeds?A dash? "Wherefore?” cries Style, his mouth agape,As mighty Rabid gives for all to hearThe subject of his sentence once againFor no coherent cause. “Enough!” cries Style,“He slays me with his pen, in ways that e’enGreat Cicero would abhor.” He quits the scene,And now but four remain.Then Rabid speaks,And clever Wit, brother to graceful Style,Doth lend his ear. The King begins again,And Wit must suffer “momentous conclusions.”Wit sees behind that jest the viper Sarcasm, Who brings a bitter poison to each laugh,And tempts a clever writer with the hopeThat laughs forbidden by fair wisdom pureWhich make for gentler jests, are those same laughsThe use of which makes writers ready forThe National Review. How vain a hope!This clever Wit knows well; with woe he waits,Foreknows how far King Rabid thus must fall.King Rabid knows no more. The snake SarcasmHis only tool, he, like Allecto mad,Hurls that serpent foul with vengeful force.The snake alights within that paragraphWith which the King began his dreadful work,And worms his way within a simple phraseThen renders such a guiltless sentence thus:“A panacea to purge the U of COf Its social disease.” Wit hears this dreadful jest;He moans, and hopes the snake strikes not again.Such grand naivete! The snake slips out,Its teeth now find a fleshy paragraph, •fe-And it injects its venom. “Voila!” cries Rabid,* 5?r ‘^The U of C becomes a party school.”Wit moans again. He finds no saving graceIn this, a bad cliche. He awaits more pain.Enticed, King Rabid laughs a bitter laughAnd winds his snake again. It strikes! Its juiceLeaves this remain: Those pttied student foolsMust “buckle down and throw a party.”Next Reg and Q.A.L.A. fpe! the serpent’s bite;The King would have their budgets cut — what fun!But ’ere Wit takes his leave. King Rabid grins,And leaves his snake one more just to despoil.It leaves its bitter trace, an empty jokeKnown far too well, that burns but pleases not*And gives no joy. Of th’Administration,On occasion “It has been known to aidThe students.” "I'm gone,” says clever Wit,"I cannot bear his empty humor more;^ He leaves me void — ‘tis not the role of wit.”/ And with a mournful sob, good Wit departs.Undaunted, Rabid feels this setback not.Now keen Intelligence, with well-earned pride,Pays close attention to King Rabid’s tone,That it might not insult his high position.King Rabid pulls the snake back in his handAnd for Intelligence’s sake assumesA higher dignity. He elevatesHis tone, as if to raise the subject ofHis speech by art alone, a foolish hope:One should not write a tragedy for wimps,Nor lofty epic on a lock of hair;Such tactics work for parody alone,And Rabid parodies himself and thusDegrades what good he speaks.The King now stumbles, searches for a phraseOr some grand principle, to motivateHis minions' ire on some theoretic base,And in his frantic search he grows careless.Intelligence then grows impatient;He frowns as desp’rate Rabid stoops to useOf the adverb “Now’’, not in itself a sin,But when it introduces a sentence,It brings along a patronizing air.“Now if th’Administration,” Rabid speaks,And waits for hie applause; when none does come,Kind Rabid tries again. “Now, some housesWill profit by this deal.’’ He waits once more.Intelligence does feel the insult foul,And hot with rage he says, “When you talk downTo those whom you’d convert, they turn their backs,And pay you no regard.” King Rabid sweats,And, desperate, he slips and falls again:“Well, the Shapiro committee,” he says,Just like a video-minded PresidentIn speech before the press, or Mister Rogers,Addressing all the puppets of his fancy.Though now disgusted by these minor flaws,Intelligence yet gives him one more chance,For young King Rabid looks renewed in strength.-Could be that he has found his higher phrase?A narrow smile does dance upon his lips,His eyebrows flicker from his clevernessAnd he, King Rabid, flings his wily tauntBy calculation judged to be the blowThat needs no other blow. H.A.R.C. stinks, he cries,For it employs the “Hostage Principle.”“What’s this?’’ seeks keen Intelligence to know.They take your hard-earned cash, the King explains,And you must take it back. Thus tyrants all!Intelligence steps back, and stands amazed.Could be that Rabid seeks to light his IreWith such a foolish argument? Gould beThat he invokes an abstract principle,That conjures visions of tyranny, of crime,All for the sake of six spare dollars?And must he make an economic debateOf such a trivial cause? Is this his art?And worst of all: Does subject match Its style?Rhetoric should be made of sterner stuff.Now keen Intelligence cries out and ventsHis mighty wrath: “I have no time for foolsWho think they may manipulate me so. :Did you believe that I could be so base?That my emotions frail could be by you3o well abused? I have the sense to see 83 >•8fi8 _ j3 #.> i? O'm Of all to rage, rejecting nothing.Persuasion sighs, his head a heavy loadUpon his aching neck, and even thisForgiving soul grows tired of Rabid’s speech.King Rabid now turns red, his cheeks ablaze.His mouth emits a furnace roar, as whenA Franklin stove, with an inferno ragingIn its black gut, is ope’d the slightest crack,And air by furious suction screams inside;Yet Rabid’s mouth emits the boiling air.He shrieks, “Will no one stay and hear me pleadMy vital cause?” Persuasion feigns a smile;He wants to leave, has better things in mind.But Rabid pulls again his favorite tricks,And still artful Persuasion sits and sighs.He trims his fingernails as Rabid speaksOf social justice, for houses rich and poor.Persuasion has a laugh when Rabid singsOf “Reaping benefits of remedies,”For Rabid cannot see this foolish thing,This thrfce-mixed metaphor, of farm, of work,And medicine. King Rabid forges on,Now telling tales of Shapirogate,That foul conspiracy, enforcing fun.Persuasion, unimpressed, stands up to leave.“Don’t go!" cries King, ‘I have four arguments,”From deference to this sad plea, artfulPersuasion remains, and Rabid sings again.’’Point one,” he cries, “H.A.R.C. must have funds. Pointtwo:Someone must gjve it funds. Point fftree! It hasMuch too much funds.” He pauses for effect,To give his line of logic most impact,Then smiles, “Point four: It has no funds at all.”At this King Rabid stands, now overwhelmedBy his own eloquence. Did not the greatMan Cicero think thoughts at once as grand,When he exposed another dreadful plot?His by base Catiline contrived, and didNot Cicero preserve his public’s strength?Did not he save them from a rich mistake?And did not young King Rabid do the same?He too exposed a plot, but by Shapiro raised,And warned his countrymen of that dread taxTo take six bucks away. Now surely theyWill sing him praise! “One hopes,” King Rabid screams,“That students will defeat the referendum.”“And I, at least, hope not,” Persuasion calls,"You fool me not by that absurd abstraction,And I remain completely unconvinced.”Persuasion goes, and takes the only hopeOf rhetoric along, and leaves the King with one.if Now Rabid raves, a beast in frenzied pain,An orator without an audience.His eyes now bulge, the foam comes to his mouth,He screams, “I have been wronged! Was it for thisI armed myself in prose and girded onThe golden pen? Why must I stay in print?Why check my flaming rage? For more insult?And must I carry on my verbal quest,A servant to that set of stupid wretches?Did graceful Style pass down his light to me?Did clever Wit give me a pleasant laugh?Did keen Intelligence inform my work,Or did Persuasion change my well-framed mind?They once were outcasts, and they have spurned me.Oh gods immortal, cast a plague on them,And hunt them down from rocky shore to shore,And keep them from my sight, forever more!”Slow Dullness yet remains, a patient sieve.He wipes away the sweat from Rabid’s brow,And soaks the frothy foam Rabid’s mouth.He takes the Rabid's hand and leads him hence,Through dark and musty halls, the galleriesOf turgid prose, where writers bold, but withNo sense, must stay, till brilliant Art should graceThem with her tight, and show them good from bad,The meek from vain, the noble from the base.Here is the half for things of little worth,Where the vulgar dwell.

Most people have heard hisname mentioned, many have seen one of his many magnificentphotographs, but few are familiar with the extent of his involvement inphotography — both the art of it and the teaching of it — and in conserva¬tion through the Sierra Club.Adams was born in San Francisco in 1902. He spent his summers at hisfamily’s cabin in Yosemite Valley. It was there, at the age of 14, that Adamsbegan what was later to become his life profession, the art of photography,with a Kodak Brownie.Adams trained to be a concert pianist, but after many years ofphotographic trips to the Sierra Nevada changed to photography. Adamsquickly became involved with many big name photographers.In 1930 Adams met Paul Strand and found his work to be a turning point.As Adams said, it “was the first time I saw photographs that were organiz¬ed, beautifully composed,” instead of blurred and contrived as mostphotographs of the time were. Adams also became friends with Alfried Stieglitz, who launched his career as a major photographer in 1936 with anexhibition at Stieglitz's American Palace gallery. Adams helped to foundthe New York Museum of Modern Art’s photography department in 1940.From here his career took off. The number of accomplishments are toogreat to give a comprehensive list, but some of the highlights are: 3 Gug-genhiem Fellowships, a Medal of Freedom, in addition to being director ofthe Sierra Club for 37 years. He was selected to take the only officialPresidential portrait in photograph form (Carter), a Fellow of the AmericanAcademy of Arts and Sciences, a Chubb Fellow at Yale University andauthor and illustrator of numerous books.The field of photography will miss Ansel Adams, for it was primarilythrough his work that photography became accepted as an art form. Pro¬fessional and amature photographers are thankful for the technical helpwhich he gave to the art, be it his zone system, practiced by mostphotographers, or the many classes and lectures that he gave.— Arthur U.
