The Illi¬nois'Credit Union League andthe National Credit Union As¬sociation advised the U of Ccredit union to withhold bene¬fits although it had made aprofit. Martin Elling, the cred¬it union’s manager said, “Wedid take those organizations’advice because we didn’t havea long term profit.”The informational pam¬phlets first put out by the unionsaid it would offer pay divi¬dends each quarter, and it didnot specifically say that itwouldn’t pay them in the firstquarter. This wording is whatupset some USFCU members.While not paying dividendsmay have hurt short term de¬positors of large amounts ofmoney, Elling said mostmembers saw withholding div¬idends as a good move for thecredit union’s financialstrength. The first quarterprofit was measured after pay¬ing most of the startup costs;however Elling said there areKimbark isopen, butowes taxesAlthough the Internal Reve¬nue Service (IRS) had filedover $61,000 in liens againstSwain Kimbark Liquors, Inc.,Kimbark Liquors re-openedthis weekend.The IRS had filed two liensagainst the company, one for$54,408.25, and another for$7,028.28. In addition, otherholdings of John and TequilaSwain, including those ofSwain Corp., and Swain Inc.,face liens totalling over$140,000, according to an IRSofficial.The official said most of the$200,000 total in liens filedagainst the Swains’ holdingswere for a failure to turn overtaxes withheld from employ¬ees’ salaries.The Maroon was unable toobtain an official commentfrom any Swain official prior topresstime. still some long term expensesthat have not been paid.Elling also said that most de¬positors have found the creditunion to be better than localbanks because of its fees andits convenient location.After three months, with1300 members, the credit unionis one of the fastest growingunions in the country. Current¬ly, about five people join eachday.Another sign of growth,USFCU’s assets are around$900,000 and it is “about tocross the margin to a mid¬sized credit union,” accordingto Elling. This makes it largerthan 50 percent of the creditunions nationally.One complaint against thecredit union has been the longlines of customers and the waitfor service. It appears asthough there will not be a re¬medy to this problem in thenear future because space oncampus is not readily avail¬able. Although the credit unionhas discussed the problem ofspace with the University, Ell¬ing said one major problem isthat the USFCU is not recog¬nized as a student group. Stu¬dent Government has given itssupport to the credit union butUSFCU cannot register withthe SG Finance Committee be¬cause national law preventsanother group from managingits finances. Still, the creditunion is student-run, student-funded and according to Ellingis probably the largest studentorganization on campus.This fall the credit union willenter phase two of a five phasegrowth plan. Additions will in¬clude a loan program, IRA’s,shared certificates and otherbenefits. While space will be aproblem in accommodatingthe new customers that theseprograms will bring in, Ellingsaid one option would be estab¬lishing the loan offices off-campus.One way the credit union had University Student Federal Credit Union PHOTO BY JOEL GEFFINthought of expanding was to at¬tract more alumni members.These would keep the unionsteady through the traditional¬ly “lean” summer months.Elling said the USFCU hasproposed faculty membershipto the national credit board which had not even consideredprofessors as a possible re¬source. Faculty and staff can¬not now belong unless they arealumni or parents of currentstudents.One student questioned thecontinued on page elevenWashington blew it, Dobry saysAlan Dobry By Cliff GrammichAlan Dobry said Thursdaythe failure of Mayor HaroldWashington’s allies to gaincontrol of the Cook CountyDemocratic Party’s centralcommittee was due to poor or¬ganization by the mayor’sallies in the drive. Dobry, the5th Wad Democractic commit¬teeman, spoke about the chair¬manship battle on last Thurs¬day’s airing of “South SideForum” on WHPK-FM.Dobry identified several ele¬ments in the mayor’s allies’failed attempt to oust incum¬bent chairman Aid.

Dobryidentified the problem as “oneof promising too much initial¬ly” by the mayor’s allies, andsaid Washington “may havegotten some overenthusiasticcounsel.”Dobry noted that in somewards the incumbent commit-teman allied with Vrdolyakfailed to gain a majority ofvotes, but managed to gain re- election as Washington alliesor those opposed to Vrdolyaksplit the majority of votes.Dobry believes an early en¬dorsement by Washingtoncould have swayed some elec¬tions.“The mayor may have erredtoo much on the side of democ¬racy,” Dobry said, in Washing¬ton’s effort to avoid being a“political boss.”After the March 20 electionof committeemen.

How¬ever, “agent” doesn’t have tobe publicly defined because itis classified information.Therefore, catch-all phrasesare created under which any¬one could be investigated with¬out proof of incriminating in¬formation. Halperin pointedout that, “The advantage oflegislation is that then youknow the government has(proof of wrongdoing).”Another panelist, Mary Law-ton, who has counselled thefederal government on intelli¬gence pulic>, agreed with Iiai-perin. Both cited a lack of pre¬ cedence concerning when thegovernment can investigate.“When you investigate issimply not addressed.” Law-ton said. She also observed thatthe courts have not attemptedto set any precedents; “ThePHOTO BY K C MORRISWilliam Schapp(Supreme) Court merely re¬cites the facts but never dis¬cusses ... why it is permissiblefor the government to performan act in investigating thatwould be illegal if done by any¬one else.”Both Halperin and Lawtonsaid that electronic surveil¬lance is a particularly con-iu>eu issue WiielctppUifc ic-quires a warrant, but phone message beepers and cordlesstelephones have signals thatcan be picked up on scannersby anyone, and so do not re¬quire warrants.Electronic surveillance andinvestigation because of asso¬ciation were further debatedvy^en a member of the audi¬ence.

The casein which videotapes were de¬clared illegal as evidence hadbeen previously cited by Law-ton.Power said of governmentsurveillance tactics, “It's de¬finitely strategy on the part ofthe government to portray apolitical group as terrorists.”Geoffrey Stone. U of C lawprofessor and commentator forthe morning panel, said thatwhile the government mightnot be openly interfering withFirst Amendment rights, “Thereality is that the knowledgethat the government might beinfiltrating would have thesame chilling effect as a publicdisclosure (of that investiga¬tion).”The second panel spoke onprepublication review.

May 1, 1984 —3CAMPUS VOICEWashington: result, or end of, the Machine?By Melvin RothenbergWe are one year into the Washington era of Chi¬cago politics. The style and approach of HaroldWashington’s administration is now clear, if not itsultimate aims and accomplishments. The fears of ElRukns running wild in the loop, or city departmentsbeing turned over to illiterates has proven to be noth¬ing more than racist paranoia. On the other hand, thenaive hopes that Harold's election would prove an in¬stant cure-all for what ails Chicago have likewiseproved illusory.It would be fun to draw up a scorecard on Washing¬ton's first year as Mayor, with the hits, runs, anderrors. But such a scorecard would be out of date insix months. The overemphasis on the day to day po¬litical maneuverings and council wars has led to adearth of analysis of some of the deeper questions in¬volved. I would like to comment on one of these ques¬tions: the underlying character of the political forcesrepresented by the Washington camp as opposed tothose of the Chicago Democratic machine. This will,I hope, clarify the basis of the nagging and irresolv¬able conflict between them and bears directly on thefuture and prospects of the Washington administra¬tion. This administration is in turn just one develop¬ment in a lengthy political process which predatedthe 1983 election by decades and will still be workingitself out long after all the current political actorshave made their last bow.The machine has long nourished the myth that thecity is unmanageable without them. However themachine in fact, matters almost not at all in the dayto day activities and services provided by the hugecity bureaucracy, although in the long run the politi¬cal priorities it has set in its decades of political dom¬ination has certainly degraded the quality of thoseservices. It has, of course, loaded the bureaucracywith its followers and loyalists, and they are crucialto working the precincts on election day, but al¬though their hearts may be with Vrdolyak, as long asCity Hall signs their paychecks, they will work ashard for Harold as they did for Jane. No, the basicrole of the machine is not not administrative. The es¬sence of the machine is political.The Chicago political machine has gone through aseries of decompositions and reconstructions sinceits birth in the early 1930s. Through all its ups anddowns it has played one essential political role whichis its very reason for being, it has attempted to con¬tain the explosive social and class antagonismswhich have threatened to tear the city apart over thelast century. It has done this by providing a massbase and legitimacy for the city administrationwhose authority was being continually threatenedand undermined by various social upheavals andcrises.The machine was able to accomplish this through astrategy of divide and rule. Chicago being a city ofrecent immigrants, the machine offered selected na¬tionalities and ethnic groups access to the city gov¬ernment, access to city jobs, licenses for tradesmenand small businessmen, access to city contracts, etc.It worked through institutions such as the Church,ethnically based craft unions, and other nationalitybased institutions. The method of the machine wasthen ethnic politics. It formed links with the mostconservative and particularist institutions andforces within the various immigrant communities,and offered them access to city government in returnfor political loyalty, support, and votes on electionday. The particular organizational mechanism foraccomplishing this was the system of ward commit-4—The Chicago Maroon—Tuesday, May l, 1984 teemen who effectively monopolized this access tothe city government in each ward, and who in turnwere responsible to employ that power to deliver thevotes on election day.There was always one glaring weakness in thisoperation. This “access” to city government wasnot, nor could not be, evenhanded. The machine itselfwas dominated by cliques of politicans whose rootsand personal machines were in a particular ethniccommunity. Following WWI and massive waves ofeastern European immigrants to Chicago, the domi¬nation of the Irish politicans was successfully chal¬lenged by Cermak who rebuilt the machine alongnew lines, and managed to install his Jewish col¬league, Horner, in the governor’s mansion in Spring-field. collective entity are not as ethnic group or a national¬ity. What united the supporters of Epton in the lastelection was not a shared culture or history, but fearand hatred of blacks. Different white groups have aheritage and culturual tradition as Jews, Italian,Irish, Croatians, etc., but not as whites. Politicalunity based on white skin color is purely negativeunity based on hatred and fear of the enemy coloredgroup, and the politics of such a unity has its logicalconsequence — fascism. South Africa represents thepurist manifestation of such a phenomenon. This isnot to argue that the machine is at present a Fascistorganization. It is not. But it does suggest that it hasvery few other places to go.Understanding the fundamentally racist basis ofthe Chicago machine clarifies and explains the fun¬If the coalition is to accomplish its main task, which is to liquidatethe domination of race politics of the machine and replace it witha political vision and program attuned to the real needs of thepeople of Chicago ...Although the Irish politicians of the 11th ward wereultimately to take over Cermak’s machine in yearsafter WWII, this did not mark the resurgence of theIrish as a dominant ethnic group. It marked ratherthe end of the ethnic politics of the old type.Whatever the nostalgia and tavern wisdom, theIrish had long been dispersed as a coherent ethnicpolitical force when Richard Daley took over thereins of the Cook County Democratic Party. The po¬litical glue that would bind together the local ma¬chine organizations to their constituency was nolonger ethnicity but skin color.Blacks had immigrated to Chicago from the southin large numbers around the time of the first WorldWar, but were effectively excluded from the ethnicpolitics arrangements. In Chicago, as nationwide,blacks were simply disenfranchised. Essentially thissituation continued through World War II. Cermak’sreorganization and broadening of the machine didn’tinclude blacks. However, by the end of World War II,the successful organization of the PackinghouseWorkers Union had given blacks a real organizationalbase in Chicago. At the same time, William Dawsonbecame the first black congressman outside of NewYork since Reconstruction, marking the first breakin the lily white character of important Chicago poli¬ticians. Most significantly, the post war black migra¬tion from the south, along with the white exodus tothe suburbs, made blacks the numerically dominantethnic minority of Chicago by the early 1950’s.The size of the black vote, and the impossibility offormally disenfranchising it, forced the machine tomake peace with Dawson, and to bring him eventual¬ly into the fold. However, much more was required ifthe old ethnic machine politics were to continue tofunction. Namely the machine would have to be reor¬ganized with the blacks having a position of influencereflecting their numerical numbers in relation to theother nationality and ethnic components. Such wasnot to be the case. Rather, the machine was reorgan¬ized under race politics, with the (not very) implicitbanner — keep Chicago (mostly) white.This politics suited the needs of the white leader¬ship of the machine in maintaining their positions ofcontrol. It played to the fears and needs of their con¬stituents, whose ethnic identifications had beenseriously diluted, but whose fears of being over¬whelmed by a horde of black immigrants was in¬tense. More importantly, it also played to the needsof the major corporations and financial powers whofeared the continued white flight to the suburbswould devalue billions of dollars of inner city proper¬ty holdings.To the blacks the race politics offered at best theform of the old ethnic politics, without the substance.To the other colored minorities, Hispanics, Asians,etc., it didn’t even offer that.Over the past three decades the race politics of themachine did succeed in maintaining, more or less,the traditional segregated patterns of housing. It suc¬ceeded in keeping many of the white neighborhoodswhite. The level of service provided by the city andcounty governments in the areas of jobs, health, edu¬cation, and recreation has always been inferior forblacks and other colored minorities as compared towhites. Despite the formal enfranchisement ofblacks which was supposed to liquidate this gap ithas in fact increased and deepened under the racepolitics of the machine. This gap may have been tol¬erable in the initial period when the general level ofservices was increasing for everyone. However thestagnation of the economy over the last decade and ahalf has resulted in an overall cutback of social ser¬vices, as well as job opportunities. For the minorityyouth the job market has literally closed down overthe past decade. The minorities have then beencaught in an unbearable vice of declining social ser¬vices and declining employment.It is important to understand the distinction be¬tween the race politics, which the machine now rep¬resents, and the older ethnic politics. Ethnic politics,for all its negative and reactionary aspects, at itsbest, appeals to an authentic cultural and social iden¬tity which people legitimately fight to preserve. Forblack and other people of color, race politics and eth¬nic politics are the same. However, white people as a damental and irreconcilable conflict between it andthe Washington forces. It is not the personality con¬flict or conflict of personal ambitions between Vrdo¬lyak and Washington that is essential. Both men areskilled politicians, schooled in making pacts with thedevil when necessary. Neither Vrdolyak, and cer¬tainly not Washington, are driven by racial paranoia,although Vrdolyak is certainly ready to exploit theracial paranoia of others. If there is any personal bit¬terness it is in Vrdolyak’s feelings toward RichieDaley, whose ill timed reach for power made poss¬ible Washington’s success. Yet Vrdolyak was quickto make a pact with Daley against Washington. Whatforced Vrdolyak to resort to desperate measuressuch as approaching Reagan for assistance, and sur¬reptitiously supporting the Republican candidateagainst the candidate of his own party, was his real¬ization that the success of Washington, or any otherpolitical force that represented the aspirations of theminorities in Chicago would lead to the disintegra¬tion of the political machine on which his own posi¬tion was based.Whatever his short term success in fending offWashington’s attacks, the machine seems doomed.The basic reason is that given its fundamental anddeepening racist character it can no longer functionto contain the explosive social and class contradic¬tions facing us. Rather it is a basic contributor tothose contraditions. The only conceivable future forsuch an institution is as an instrument of an openlyfascistic, racist national regime. Short of that itseems inconceivable to govern a city quickly becom¬ing a majority colored by a mechanism devoted towhite supremacy.The Washington camp represents a coalition ofthose forces who for one reason or another reject therace politics of the machine. Under this banner isgrouped a diversity of ideologies and orientations.Washington and his closest associates came out ofthe black wing of the old machine. They bring a tra¬dition of ethnic politics with its emphasis on practicaland palpable results, and its style of compromise andaccommodation. However, they have been profound¬ly influenced by two other political traditions stron¬gly represented in the Washington camp. The first isthe early civil rights movement with its populist poli¬tics, and its idealistic vision of a society uncorruptedby race hate and bigotry. The second is the blackpower movement of the late 60’s with its emphasis onthe distinctive culture, traditions, and psychologicalidentity of black people. There is also an importanttradition of labor radicalism in the Washington campwhose history goes back to the industrial organizingdrives of the 30’s and 40’s. This viewpoint emphasizesthe importance of social-economic class and the limi¬tations of capitalism in ultimately solving its prob¬lems. Traditional left-liberal politics, which in Chi¬cago generally had an independent, anti-machinecharacter, and w'hich is organizationally representedby the IVI-IPO, is an important force in the Washing¬ton coalition. This politics has in the past decadesbeen centered in Hyde Park. Of great importance tothe Washington coalition is the Hispanic movementwhich has been developing in Chicago over the pastdecade. This movement has been strongly influencedby radical Catholic thinkers, the Sandinista’s andother revolutionary movements in Latin America,and the inspiration of the farm workers movements.All these viewpoints have their important represen¬tatives in the Washington camp, but they should notbe seen as factions, but rather as intellectual andideological influences, and most of the leaders of theWashington coalition and in particular Harold Wash¬ington himself, have been influenced to a lesser orgreater degree by all of them.These diverse ideological tendencies and tradi¬tions do not necessarily represent a not resolvable-contradiction. They all have their strengths and theirweaknesses, and none of them by themselves are ad¬equate to build a coherent ideological basis for thecoalition over the long term. Such a basis will not bebuilt by a master thinker laying down the guidelines,but by a series of practical, political decisions whichwill determine the future direction of the coalition.These decisions will reflect national and internation-continued on page eleven1984 Hyde ParkWalk With IsraelSunday, May 6thRegistration 7:30 a.m.Begins At: Congregation Rodfei Zedak5200 S.

Whatever thefounders, the Students for Violent Non-Action, had in mind when they held thefirst ball in 1970, the LCB now reflectsthe sorry state of sexuality in the1980’s. LCB fans with whom we havespoken say that by criticizing the LCB,we are ruining the special quality offreedom and abandonment which theball represents: by taking it seriouslywe’re spoiling the fun. We are pro-fun;but to view the tradition of the LCB asbeing exempt from serious considera¬tion of its social ramifications is to fallinto a false complacency. Although weare by no means against freedom ofsexual expression, to think that anevent which proports to expand thecommunity’s awareness of sexualityshould include pornography and thenecessary desensitization and alien¬ation which pornography entails, is tobe insensitive to the status both person¬al and political of sexuality in ourtime.Sexuality, particularly female sexu¬ality, is commercialized, packaged,bought and sold in advertising, porno¬graphic films and magazines, and themass media. The use of sex to sell prod¬ ucts, “entertain” and fulfill “fanta¬sies” distorts actual sexual relationsbetween people. Sex is objectified; itbecomes a matter of “getting off,”“getting a piece of ass,” focused ontechnical expertise and individual sat¬isfaction instead of sensual and emo¬tional expression. People are forcedinto strict definitions of masculine andfeminine. In pornography, sex is por¬trayed as an interaction between ste¬reotypes — the slut, the stud, the vir¬gin, the jock, the femme fatale. Fromthe mere titillating to the most violent“snuff” films, pornography forms onecohesive industry which serves to per¬petuate male and female stereotypeswhich are as vulgar and demeaning asthey are false. Pornography serves tofurther traditional sex roles wherewomen are dominated and dehuman¬ized. In our increasingly pornographicculture, sexual violence against women— rape, incest, wife beating — runsrampant.The process of viewing a pornogra¬ phic, or even merely erotic, film is oneof alienation — one is a voyeur, watch¬ing sexual expression but not partici¬pating in intimacy. It is an objectifica¬tion of a most subjective interactionbetween two human beings. The char¬acter of the LCB itself is not one of par¬ticipation but one of voyeurism — onegoes to see and be seen, but not to knowand be known. When one man wasasked who actually went naked to theball, he replied that it was mostly men.When asked whether any women wentnaked, he said “some do, but only theones you wouldn’t want to see.” Per¬haps the LCB was originally intendedas an arena of free and simple sexualexpression — an evening of participa¬tion where one was not removing one’sclothing and inhibitions to pleaseothers, but to free oneself. Today, how¬ever, the effect is not to encourage par¬ticipation but mere ogling.The LCB has become not only a bac¬chanal to shed sexual inhibition, it hasbecome a bacchanal to shed sexual identity; it is not used as a way to fur¬ther establish and integrate our sexual¬ity. Instead the LCB serves the functionof a Freudian dream: to relieve sexualtension on the unconscious level. TheLCB reflects a prevalent repression ofsexual expression by being a one-nightfling where we separate our nakedbodies and lasciviousness from our¬selves and deny that they have any¬thing to do with our identity.Some proponents of the LCB seem tosee it as an inviolable tradition; we dis¬agree. It can and should be changed.The LCB, as it is now, does not free usfrom restrictive sex roles; it glorifiesthem. This event and other social activ¬ities could free us from the limitationsof present-day social and sexual moresthrough group expression of sexualfeelings and their exchange on equalfooting in a non-voyeuristic, non-intimi¬dating atmosphere. But more impor¬tantly, this should become part of oureveryday social and sexual interac¬tions, not limited to a once-a-year “fes¬tival” serving only to further alienatethese positive ideals from our everydayexperience.Madeleine LevinPam BleischHeather BlairKris McQuilliamEric Lewis‘Science ... our valued servant’ in excellence odysseyBy John KotzWalter E. Massey looked at the wayscience and technology have affectedour lives in his Woodward Court Lec¬ture Sunday “Orwell, Compton, and theIBM-PC." He also discussed past andpresent views of the effects of scienceand technology on society.Professor Massey looked at formeropinions primarily through George Or¬well’s 1984 and Arthur Compton's auto¬biography. He then went on to show themodern viewpoint, drawing on JosephWeisenbaum's writings and from hisown experiences. His position as direc¬tor of the Argonne National Laboratoryand vice president for research at the Uof C has made him particularly sensi¬tive to changing currents in bothscience and technology.Orwell, who wrote 1984 after theatom bombs were dropped on Japan,portrayed the public as innocent and inawe of scientific power. Massey citedtwo trends during Orwell’s time whichshowed how people then viewedscience. One was the increased admi¬ration of science shown by the estab¬lishment of the National Science Foun¬dation, which supports basic research.This showed a respect for sciencewhich surpassed anything seen before,said Massey. People became more will¬ing to fund projects whose practicalbenefits might not be seen for years tocome.But, this trend was coupled with anincreased fear of the scientist. Somepoliticians viewed scientists withforeign educations, friends, and con¬nections as a threat to US security.They especially were concerned aboutmilitary technology leaking out toother countries. Magazines like Scien¬tific American and Time were con¬cerned with the atom bomb, radiation,and the effects of technology on the en¬vironment.In 1984, Orwell used the idea of two-way telescreens monitoring human ac¬tivities to represent the society hethought science would create — a soci¬ety increasingly controlled by techno¬logy. Orwell feared that in a high-techsociety, thinking on the part of the com¬mon man would be kept at a minimum.Those who controlled technology wouldmake all decisions, he thought.Arthur Compton, a leader of the Man¬hattan Project and a former U of C pro¬fessor of physics, provided a differentprediction, said Massey. Compton, whowas a very religious man, felt scienceshould play a special role in life. Heheld the view that knowledge is powerand that our developing sciences wouldgive increased freedom to human life.Altnough both Orwell and Comptonhad similar values about the impor¬tance of humans in an increasinglytechnological world, they had differentvisions about the effects of technologyon human life. Neither saw science in isolation from the rest of society. But,whereas Orwell saw technological im¬provement leading to reduced individu¬al human thinking, Compton viewedscience as “a way for us to find our ow nsouls.” He saw science as a liberatingactivity which promoted the growth ofthe human spirit. He saw science as amethod to understand the universe,and technology as a tool to help usachieve a better life.Walter MasseyToday, science is supported by evenrepressive societies. Public support isgreat. Massey cited numerous popularscience magazines and TV shows as ev¬idence of an increased public interestin science. And people today supportscientists themselves, more so than inOrwell’s time, Massey said.But, along with the admiration peo¬ple feel for modern scientific achieve¬ments, there is a growing fear and sus¬picion of the bitter side-effectstechnology has brought.Some people today fear what Orwellforesaw as a society dominated bytechnology. People today are con¬cerned about the possible misuse oflarge centrally controlled computersdeciding what is right for humans.Massey said this fear is not supportedby the realities of modern computers.Massey cited Joseph Weisenbaum tosupport his case. He made a distinctionbetween decision making and the mak¬ing of choices. Computers can do theformer, which is based on doing al¬gorithms with pre-set parameters.Once these guidelines are set for thecomputer, it can come up with a deci¬sion from the given data. But we mustmake the choice of parameters for thecomputer.Only humans can make choices,Massey said. Choices regarding love,beliefs, and values can only be made byus. “Technology,” Massey empha¬sized, “cannot and ought not replacehuman judgments. It should help us tomake better choices and to improveour living conditions.”Today, education in computers is be¬coming more widespread. Computerliteracy is now required by many highschools. Massey said the public needs this increased understanding of mod¬ern technology to make better deci¬sions regarding the roie science andtechnology will play in our future.The most frightening aspect of the so¬ciety predicted in 1984, said Massey, isthat the creative aspects of humans isdestroyed. Humans are portrayed asbeing run like machines.“The real reason to improve scienceand technologyy is to prevent this fromcoming about. They should liberate thehuman spirit,” he said, “not shackleit.” As Compton once put it, “If we arelooking for the meaning of science in itsbroader significance, this meaningmust be discovered for what sciencedoes towards enabling and encourag¬ing us to select worthy goals and inhelping us to work more effectivelytoward attaining these goals.”That is, “It is only insofar as we havea vision of excellence for the lives ofmen and women that science hashuman meaning. If we aspire to such agoal, science becomes our valued ser¬vant.”Redfield on RepublicBy Nathan SchoppaJames M. Redfield will lectureThursday on the subject of imitation inPlato’s Republic, Book Ten. The lec¬ture is part of the Collegiate Series inthe Liberal Arts.The lecture series began about fouryears ago, and is now associated withthe Fundamentals: Issues and Textsprograms, of which Redfield is co¬founder. Redfield is master of the Hu¬manities Collegiate Division, and pro¬fessor on the Committee on SocialThought and in the Department ofClassical Languages and Literature.Redfield’s lecture will focus on thepassage on imitation, or nimesis, in thefirst third of Book Ten, a section of par¬ticular interest because it seems to dis¬qualify an earlier section. In BookThree, Socrates proposed to permit im¬ itation of poets in his “city of words,”while in Book Ten he excludes all imi¬tating art from his city.This puzzle will be examined by try¬ing to determine what Plato reallymeans when he speaks of imitation inBooks Three and Ten and elsewhere.Redfield will do so by differentiatingbetween two notions of imitation andtwo psychologies that are revealed inthe Republic. He will discuss what hethinks is the role of the imitator, as pre¬sented in the Republic; at the sametime he will present some of his ownviews on that subject, occasionally cri¬ticizing Socrates’ notions.Redfield will conclude with a justifi¬cation of what appears to be an obviouscontradiction in the Republic. The lec¬ture will begin at 8 p.m. in Swift Lec¬ture Hall.RALLY BY FRANK LUBY6—The Chicago Maroon—Tuesday, May 1. 1984early birdRUMMAGE SALEPlantsBakery BooksEtc.Saturday, May 5, 19848:00 A.M.—1:30 P.M.Church of St. Pauland the Redeemer4945 S.

May 1, 1984—7FEATUREBy Rosemary BlinnMany zany stories have been toldabout the Lascivious Costume Ball(LCB), some more true than others.The bi-annual event held at Ida Noyesis perhaps the wildest night of theyear for a normally conservativeUniversity of Chicago. This article isan LCB history and a preview of thisFriday’s event.The Beaux Arts Ball1955 saw both the birth of the firstannual Festival of the Arts (FOTA)and the forerunner of the LasciviousCostume Ball, the Beaux Arts Ball. Atthat event, two Maroon staff membersforeshadowed the LCB which wouldcome 15 years later. Dressed as aspiral notebook pad and pencil, thesetwo likely case studies for Freud weredecades ahead of and much too“lascivious” for their time.From 1955 to around 1960. bothdistinguished administrators and U ofC students attended the Beaux ArtsBall. Former University ChancellorLawrence Kimpton, his wife, andseveral other Universityadministrators came to the first ball humorous and striking, if a bitgrotesque, figure.”The 1960’sIn 1963 FOTA took on a new formand brought in more artists from theoutside. The Beaux Arts Ball wasseparated from the usual FOTA datesand moved to mid-May. It remained acostume ball but with a new name:Bacchanale and Happening.Throughout the rest of the sixtiesthe regular Beaux Arts Ball returnedbut played a lesser role in the FOTAfestival. It was superseded by“happenings” like paint-ins,cravon-ins, and chalk-ins in 1969.Many of the Balls took on light showsas part of the entertainment.The birth of the LCBBy 1970. things had changedradically from when the Beaux ArtsBall first began. Students weredifferent and so wrere their tastes inentertainment. A campus politicalgroup called Students for Violent lascivious ones, that is — and thusdubbed their creation the LasciviousCostume Ball.The 1970 LCBThe first LCB was almost as weknow it today, yet there were someminor changes. “Lightning” puncn(previously described) was served in1970, made from a recipe supposed tohave dated back to the 12th century(note that this LCB was in February— there was still a Beaux Arts Ball inMay as part of the FOTA for manyyears to go).The night of the party, party Pornofilms were shown in the East Loungeof Ida Noyes. Also, body painting washeld in the basement, complete withblacklights and Day-Glo paints.Paul Ausick. former assistant deanof students at the University, was That first LCB was enough of asuccess that the Beaux Arts Ballwhich was also held later that yearwas a financial failure. The studentsof the early 70’s had evidently found aracier costume ball that was moretheir speed.1971 LCBIn 1971 there was no Beaux ArtsBall because Sears, Roebuck and Co.which had previously added somesupport to the FOTA festival did notin that year. The ball and Grand Galawere cut in part because the ball hadbeen a financial failure and in partbecause there was not enough interestdressed as characters from Alice inWonderland. Kimpton arrived as theMad Hatter; his wife as the MadQueen. The University’s vicepresident w’ent as the White Rabbit;his wife as Alice. One of theUniversity deans and his wife paradedas the King and Queen of Hearts.Dressing lasciviously wasn’t theobject of the event in those days.Administrators enjoyed the party andjudged the costumes, awarding prizeslater in the evening. Each year atheme was selected for the ball, andawards were given to wearers of thecostumes which best fit the theme.The 1956 Maroon was notablyhelpful in suggesting costumes, “Ifyou are a masochist, for example, youcan go as a doormat. If you arecompulsively neat, you can go as acard catalogue; if you're the sneakykind, you can go as a keyhole.”Costumes at most Beaux Arts Ballswere not last minute creations. Menmight dress as the Devil, Neptune, orBiblical figures. You might even see amath student walking around with arefrigerator box over his head,claiming to be a computer.Fraternities often went as groupswith a unified theme. In 1958, threefrats vied for the title of bestcostumed group. Phi Gamma in whiteand gold went as a Greek frieze whileBeta Theta Pi was dressed as OedipusRex. The winner of that contest,however, was Phi Sigma Delta whichboasted 18 “striking semi-authenticblack grease-painted witch doctorsand natives with spears in hand.”The event was more public in itsfounding days with US Senators, U ofC trustees, and a prima ballerina ofthe New York City Ballet judging the1957 happening. Nonaction (SVNA) used the openingday of FOTA to break tradition. Thereare conflicting stories of whatactually happened in the early 70’s.SVNA offered “purple lightning”punch made of Kool Aid and reagentgrade pure ethanol. That was only thebeginning. of the few people left in 1982 whocould give a personal account of thefirst LCB. As a student, he “went tosee Otis Spann — a great piano bluesplayer — in front of about 50 people.“It was a great time,” Ausickremembered, “I think the LCBprobably came about because of thheforce of personality of a couple ofpeople.” He continued, “They had agood sense about the party — andwere able to sell it.”FOTA festivities of 1970 PHOTO BY DAVID MILLERA description of the eventrecounted: “Proclaiming ‘we justwant everybody to be happy,’ FrankMalbranche initiated the University’scelebration of National Drug AbuseDay by passing out over 200 ‘tastygreen suckers.’ ” The first LCB committee charged 50cents admission to students incostume and $1 to those in streetclothes. They made a net profit of$200.Precisely what were these greensuckers’7The report continued, “Manyparticipants found them so tasty andsucked on them so avidly that theywere gone in a few minutes. JamesVice, assistant dean of students, wasoffered a “sucker” but declined,indicating that he didn’t smoke.” Leery query about scumand damaging diseaseIt was not without supervisionthough. In 1958, “Characterizing the‘new social regulations,’ Mrs. MaryNewman, director of studentactivities, appeared at the ball withalarm clock in hand as a ‘Universityrequired chaperone.’ Dressed in awhite cotton hairdo, topped off by anot exactly Lilly Dache chapeau,black two-sizes-too-large dress, rollingeye, eyeglasses and a set of falseteeth that would make an orthodontistshudder, Mrs. Newman cut a The previously described incidentswere not clearly part of the LCB orthe Beaux Arts Ball, though.According to a 1982 Maroon history ofthe event, the following happened. In1970, an SVNA sub-group calledStudents Projecting on Equal Rightsfor Men (SPERM) — an organizationthat lived about as long as a fly —created a spoof on the “Miss U of C”contest. Called the: “Mr. U of C”contest, SPERM described it as “anattempt to give the American male achance to become a sexual object.”The organizers of the event askedevervone to wear costumes — To the editor:What’s all this about minority rightsat the U of C? Black flack, hymieschmymie, fag rag! The importantquestion here is, “what’s going to hap¬pen if I go in the pool at the LCB?”Pregnancy? VD? What kind ofscummy film will I be covered with?This is a serious question. Please an¬swer before the big event.We CARE8—The Chicago Maroon—Tuesday, May 1, 1984 We know you were waiting for thisanswer with bated breath so here goes:yes, Virginia, there is a problem here.Many people get caught up in the fan¬tastic extravaganza known as the La¬scivious Costume Ball and don’t stop tothink about what might happen to themafterwards. Good foresight.The real problem is that the filters in the Ida Noyes pool are antiquated —who knows how many years worth oftiny bacteria have grabbed onto peopleand infested our student population?This could be a national epidemic!We have reasonable confidence thatthese filters were built in the days whenAmerican workmen still took pride inwhat they produced. They can stand upto normal wear and tear. However,people who rinse off in the pool aftercoming to the LCB in makeup, food, orany other pollutants clog up the systemand give way to the very scummy filmyou refer to. No wonder some peoplerefer to it as the toilet.Our advice is: go in the pool have agood time, even call your friends chick¬en for not joining you in sw imming. Butsave the chocolate sauce for the show¬ers. Okay?-Edput it on. For several yearsfollowing, there was no Beaux ArtsBall and the LCB was moved to May.Although it was tradition to hold theball only once every two years, therewas an LCB in 1971. It was touted asthe “Second Annual and LastLascivious Costume Ball” by SVNA.Nobody seems to know why it is nowheld biannually.As planned, “Mr. U of C” wascrowned at midnight at the actual balla few days later. U of C student AndyGurion, nicknamed “GangreneLaRue,” was the winner in the 1970contest. His photo was later run in theMaroon. He won a trip to the coalmines in Scranton, Pennsylvania.While it may have been cold outsidein February, it was no doubt hot andsteamy inside of Ida Noyes where 1500people — 1000 more than expected —cheered when a SVNA member“announced SVNA efforts to institutea weekly nude swim-in, led the crowdin cheers of ‘I am Horny’ and readselected passages from apornographic novel.”At this LCB there were only fiveentrants to the contest, but three ofthe entrar is had more than onemember. One entrant — five malesnamed collectively “MagneticBroccoli” — claimed to be “a groupof high school dropouts who alwayswanted to go to college. Theymanaged to capture the essence oftoday’s troubled youth,” according toa 1970 issue of the Maroon.Another collective entrant in theMr. U of C contest consisted of twomen and two women who calledthemselves “5412 Drexel.” The samepaper issue called them “a localgroup commune, the four people livein one bed and eat off the same plate.They want the title of Mr. UC ‘to helpspread love around the world.’ ”The last collective entrant was twomales called ‘Da Boys from Miami.’The same Maroon characterized themas an “underground group trying togo straight. Da Boys used to runcigarettes in from South Carolina andwashed dishes for two years at theWhite House.” getting too crude.” “We tried,” Silversaid, “to make it less pornographicand more tasteful. We got rid of theblue movies and showed high schoolsex-ed films instead.”In a Maroon preview the LCB’scommittee said they would offer, “acelebration of human sensuality $10 unless they are in the buff. EddieClearwater, who played at the lastLCB, will return to perform th»s yearin the Cloister Club. There will be twoAbout 2,000 revelers chose PeterAdelis, a first-year student, as “Mr. Uof C” by acclamation. Someobservers who attended the partyclaimed that “some strategicallyplaced bagels” earned him the honor.One porno projectionist wasrumored to have jumped out of aback window of Ida Noyes, fearful ofarrest because some vice squadmembers were present.A “Mr. U of C” was crowned,however. Darkhorse Eric Rubin,wheeled to the front of the room afterconsuming too much punch, receivedthe honor. According to an articlewritten by Nick Grofilia of the GreyCity Journal on February 19, 1971,Mr. Rubin was “impeccably attired inLondon Fog and sawed-off hot pants.”He “flashed a smile and collapsed”after receivng his award, Grofiliareports.Nevertheless, because of the listlesstenor of the party, it wasn’t untilthree years later that the UC studentbody was aroused enough for anotherLCB.LCB’S Of 1974By 1974, most of the activities at theprevious LCB’s were retained for thesake of tradition. Swimming, films,dancing, and live music were a partof all the balls from 1974-80.SG President Mark Brickell,running the LCB in 1974, called it the“23rd Annual and Last LasciviousCostume Ball,” and made sure thatthere was a “Mr. U of C” contest atmidnight to give the ball a traditionalflavor.An estimated 1800 people attended,even though University officials madethe evening a “dry one” byconfiscating all the “lightning”punch. The punch — returned to SGafter the ball — was served on theQuads the next day as a symbolicprotest against the Student ActivitiesOffice.Brickell, hosting the party in awhite top hat, a white coat with tailsand a sequin-studded jock strap,started the “Mr. U of C” contest atthe stroke of 12. An unidentifiablestudent nicknamed Hot Grits wasvictorious. He supposedly received anexpense-paid vacation to Xenia, Ohio.To advertise the LCB in 1976, aposter was made, showing a couplewearing only sunglasses and hats andholding tennis rackets. The photoappeared under the caption“Different Strokes for Different Folksat the Lascivious Costume Ball.”Since 1976, a poster advertising theLCB has become an essential part ofthe ball. In 1978, a red and whiteposter asked students to “Go Bananasat the Lascivious Costume Ball”,depicting a woman just ready to bitea banana.The 1980 LCBIn 1980, undergraduate Steve Silverand Peer Pressure Enterprises ranthe ball and attempted to clean up anevent which Silver thought “was rather than a glorification of theorgasm.” Silver said at that time thatthey would attempt to move towardsthe inner sensuality of man andwoman and dispense with “plasticsexuality and instead (the LCB) willbe light, fun, and intelligently done.Erotica rather than pornography.”The event was highlighted byBeatles and Elvis movies, troubadorsand magicians.The 1980 ball, however, did not passwithout controversy. One student whowas selling posters for the LCB washit in the face with a plate of soapand shaving cream. The assailants,who wore garbage bags and masks,put up posters from Women AgainstPornography and took 56 LCB posterswhich were sold for $1 apiece.The women returned the posterslater after stamping them with“Pornography is violence againstwomen.” The posters, printed onglossy paper, showed AdolpheWilliam Bongereau’s painting ofVenus and Cupid among with hewords “Veni, Vidi, Veni” — a take offon Caesar’s words, “I came, I saw, Iconquered.”The 1982 LCBThe Sex-Anarchy Party producedthe 1982 Lascivious Costume Ball. Itcost $7,200 versus approximately$10,000 for this years event. Theentrance fees were higher as well.Around 1800 people took part in thefestivities.That ball’s costume contest winnersincluded a Mr. U of C in leather andchains. One LCBer went decorated inchocolate icing. Another wentbedecked in peanut butter andproceeded to wash himself off in thepool. This Year’s LCBThis year’s LCB will be somewhattraditional but also new and morediverse. One new element is thatalumni can come, but will have to pay 20 foot screens for dance videos in thegym. Mr. Shelly Vision, a well-knownDJ, will be running a video and lightshow.Student ID’s will be closely checkedthis year and any students with ID’sthat appear to have been tamperedwith will not be alllowed to enter.Attendees can check their clothesand/or ID’s at the checkdesk. On thethird floor of Ida Noyes there will bemale and female strippers as well asfemale impersonators strippers. sexual preferences. Jonathan Katz,president of GALA, said previousLCB’s have been seen as“straightevents.” He said there be a“conscious look at gay sexuality atthis LCB.”The dance videos are new as welltoo. They are part of an attempt toincrease the range of activitiesoffered. Rock videos will be mixedwith more sexual ones.Another attempt to get students totake a more active role in theactivities is the amateur strippercontest. No experience is needed butperformers should plan a 2-4 minutecompulsory act. They will be judgedon looks, talent, etc. Students whoThe next Ms. U of C?On the other side of the third floorstraight and gay adult films will beshown. Jay Vogel observed, “nothingthat we do will show women in adegrading role.”Awards will be given for bestcostumes, best team, best bare buns,Mr. and Ms U of C,. There will bean amateur stripper contest from12:30-1 as well. All these contests willtake place at midnight.There will be games, and, as usual,the pool will be open for skinnydipping, water polo and volleyball.There will be bench music as well.On the first floor of Ida Noyes, thelibrary will undergo an unusualtransformation into a sodom andGomorrah roomPart of this year’s diversity lies inthe fact that gay video will be shownand there will be activities for all plan to participate in this shouldbring a music tape to strip to.As usual, the event will not bewithout administrative supervision.An eight-member board from theadministration will be headed byIrene Conley. Conley will also be ajudge for the costume contestJay Vogel, a co-chair ol the 1984LCB. said that the committee is doingmore to encourage students to focuson costumes. He said the students arewhat make the event. This year, hesaid, the committee is aiming tocreate, “a fun party mixed with moresexual ones.”Adopting 1982 advice.

Timothy Evans (4th), whomWashington’s forces supported forparty chairman, was a good choice forthe symbolic candidacy.“Tim Evans was not a good choice,”Dobry said, charging the 4th Ward al¬derman and committeeman was a“student and heir of the late Claude W.B. Holman.” Holman was a long-time4th Ward alerman and committeeman,and served as a foil to independent in¬terests in that role.Dobry also discussed the recent bidby Aid. Lawrence Bloom (5th) for theDemocratic nomination for Cook County state’s attorney against incum¬bent Richard M. Daley.“Larry failed to convince peoplethere was something terribly wrongwith Daley,” Dobry said. “Voters maynot have liked Daley, but they weren’tabout to make a change.”Nevertheless, Dobry does believeBloom made a “good run” for the job,as Bloom got 85,000 more votes in hisprimary challenge to Daley than Aid.Edward Burke (14th) got in his 1980challenge for the nomination.Although Dobry does not know ifblack voters, who voted for Bloom by a2-1 margin over Daley, will vote for thestate’s attorney in the upcoming elec¬tion, he does not believe they will sup¬port Washington nemesis RepublicanRichard Brzeczek or a third-party ef¬fort.“South Side Forum” airs Thursdaysat 5:30 p.m. on WHPK, 88.3 FM.

Elling said that so far there hasbeen excellent security and “no at¬tempted anything.” He continued thatit “would be a very rare exception,”when identification cards weren’tchecked now. the Hyde Park Jewish CommunityCenter.In addition, there will be a mini-walkfor preschoolers featuring clowns, bal¬loons, and refreshments. The MiniWalk will begin at Rodfei Zedek at 8:00a.m.Volunteers are needed to help withthe Walk, street marshals and ‘toetruck’ drivers are particularly need¬ed.For more information call the HydePark Jewish Community Center,268-4600.Leonard Glasser, a credit unionmember, said that his statement andother information has been mailedthrough faculty exchange, whichwasn’t the address he had requested.He cited slow service saying “every¬thing that I had I found out after thefact.”Elling said use of faculty exchange isbeing phased out because of its slow¬ness. He said that mail folders have sofar proved to be a secure place to leavemonthly statements, but that eventual¬ly the US mail would be used evenmore extensively.Lawcontinued from page onefor the New York Times, WilliamSchapp, director of Covert Action Pub¬lications, and U of C professor FrankEasterbrook from the Law School, whoacted as commentator.Schapp (U of C Law School — ’64)cited the recent Intelligence IdentitiesProtection Act (IIPA), as a breach ofthe First Amendment, since it limitsfreedom of the media. This act crimi¬nalizes publication of unclassified in¬formation if it is judged to interferewith national security.Words such as “covert agent,” “in¬telligence,” and “informant,” saidSchapp, are ambiguous enough that thegovernment could significantly restrictsuch routine actions of the media asnaming agents and/or leaders offoreign nations. The administrationwould claim these actions would pose apotential threat to national security.Although the congrssional confer¬ence report claimed the governmentwould take the burden of proving that areporter was involved in a “pattern ofactivities” which jeopardized security,Schapp claimd that this was simply away of opening media activities to im¬mediate suspicion. He closed by sayingthat “this is an unconstitutional law,”in spite of government attempts to hideit.Murry Baron, arguing that mediahas had a “free ride,” pointed out thatthe First Amendment defines freedomfor the press. However, he continued that as a profit-motivated organizationthe press is under pressure to followcertain guidelines. Because of the exis¬tence of “protracted warfare” (thethreat of nuclear war), what the mediamakes known can be as damaging as itAbrams emphasized the intensifica¬tion of censorship under the Reagan ad¬ministration, labeling it “insensitive toFirst Amendment values.” In supportof his point he cited the repealing of anamendment to the Intelligence Identi¬ties Protection Act making it necessaryto consider the public’s right to knowbefore censoring something.Although no successful cases havebeen brought against the press, theReagan mindset, Abrams indicated, isthat anything remotely affecting na¬tional security should be stopped.Professor Easterbrook commentedthat secrecy is important to the free¬ dom of the nation, but that the media isnot legally subject to government con¬trol, nor does it have a legal obligationto be impartial or sympathetic to thepresent administration.“Prepublication review is not an ob¬jectionable idea,” he said, if the admin¬istration makes an effort to controlCongress, rather than trying to influ¬ence the media.The last panel dealt with judicial re¬view for national security matters. TheFreedom of Information Act (FOIA)was the primary yardstick for howmuch information is accessible to thepublic and press.William Dobrovir. partner in the lawfirm of Dobrovir. Oakes and Gebhardt,said that electronic surveillance andmail monitoring guidelines have oftenbeen interpreted against the public.With the former issue, “defendants hadthe burden of proving (the existence) ofwiretaps,” Dobrovir explained whilehe asserted, “mail could be inspectedbut not read,” yet, he noted, inspectionand reading are the same thing.The president is basically immune tocriminal charges, Dobrovir said. Hecontinued that about the only casewhere the president could be prosecut¬ed is if he were to shoot his wife’s lover“unless he alleges it was a matter ofnational security,” in which case hecould be acquitted.These abuses of the law for govern¬mental benefit were defended by Kath¬leen Buck, assistant general counselfor the Department of Defense. “I thinkthere is an impression that... we blockout the public.” Buck said the FOIA often affects theDepartment of Defense — they are re¬quired to hand over any informationthey have about a case. “We are fre¬quently the target of some ratherstrange cases,” she said. Buck citedthe DeLorean and Hearst cases as oneswhere they had no files, nor were likelyto. but were served an FOIA requestanyway.Cass Sunstein. a U of C law professorand commentator for the last session,summed up the FOIA problem with twoopposite problems. He said that on theone hand the First Amendment allowsthe press to publish almost anything itgets a hold of but the government“doesn't have to let the press get a holdof anything.” While the FOIA affordspeople access to certain information, itis a gratuity according to Sunstein be¬cause it isn't a right granted by theConstitution.One closing point that all three of thefinal session’s speakers made was thatthe government does not always takean adversarial stance on public in¬volvement in national security mat¬ters. Sunstein explained that JesseJackson, presidential candidate,should have been prosecuted for nego¬tiating to free Lieutenant Robert Good¬man.Jackson violated a 1787 law’ sayingis unlawful for a private citizen to nego¬tiate on behalf of the United States.Jackson wasn’t prosecuted, accordingto Dobrovir. because President Reaganrealized that it would be a politicallyunfavorable move.Politicscontinued from page toural events and developments probably more thanpurely local developments. Exactly because of therichness and diversity of the forces that compose it,the political direction of the Washington administra¬tion is particularly sensitive to national political cur¬rents.If there is fairly broad ideological diversity withinthe Washington camp, there is pretty clear agree¬ment on the main strategic task faced at the mo¬ment. The Washington coalition must become the co¬alition of the majority of Chicagoans. (If thecoalition is to accomplish its main task, which is toliquidate the domination of the race politics of themachine and replace it with a political vision andprogram attuned to the real needs of the people ofChicago, then it must be much more than a one termfluke.) The coalition has broad and deep supportamong the black people of Chicago. Hardly anyonewould argue with that. Its roots and following amongthe other main colored minority, the Hispanics, ismuch less consolidated. The Washington Adminis¬tration is open to criticism for its slowness in movingahead to consolidate its following among Hispanics.Various concrete steps which could easily have beentaken, such as appointing Hispanic leaders to visible,prominant position in the Washington administrationhave in fact not been taken.Although there is a very clear political and socialbasis for a hlack-Hispanic coalition in Chicago thereare deep cultural differences and a history of some antagonism between blacks and Hispanics. There¬fore such a coalition will not occur spontaneously. Itis up to the Washington administrtion to take the leadin constructing it.Although blacks and Hispanics represent betweenthem close to half the population, a majority coali¬tion to govern effectively, must have a solid, signifi¬cant base among whites. Here the conventional polit¬ical wisdom urges Washington to look for suchsupport among the lakefront wards of educatedwhite professionals. However the social and politicalbasis for such an alliance is not clear. In Hyde Park,which is a racially mixed community, the white resi¬dents have, in general, an ideological commitment tomulti-racial politics. On the other hand, in the north-side lakefront there is no such commitment, and thereputed liberalism is more a matter of lifestyle thanpolitics. Although there is certain anti-machine tra¬dition on the Northshore it seems more to be based onobjections to the ethnic and lower class style of themachine politicians, rather than on more substantiveissues. Undoubtedly they have the same objections toHarold Washington.In any case one cannot even begin to implement aserious program of reform in Chicago without a sub¬stantial base among working and lower middle classwhites. W’hile in the last election they overwhelming¬ly supported the machine and opposed Washington,the prospects for making inroads here are not asbleak as they appear. There are progressive politicalforces working within these communities for manyyears, in particular in Uptown and in Vrdolyak’s ownsoutheast bastion As it heromes Hear that the oldmachine, with its implicit race politics, is dying, new political choices will have to be made. One choicewould be to abandon the city and flee to the suburbs;however the general state of the economy will likelydeny that choice to most. Another choice would be toopt for an openly right wing and racist politic to putthe colored back in their place. (It is up to the Wash¬ington coalition to offer another, and progressivechoice.)It is here that the bankruptcy of the old ethnic poli¬tics becomes most clear. Ethnicity does not and can¬not provide a basis for politics, and in particularwhite politics, in the city of Chicago today. Thestrength of the machine among working and lowermiddle class whites is not based on ethnic loyalitiesand identifications but on racism and appeals towhite supremacy. The Washington coalition cannotchallenge the machine among these groups by re¬maining on the same level. The only way it can hopeto make this challenge is by offering another politicalvision, one that takes into account the material needsand concerns, but that also has sufficient moral forceand appeal to overcome the old fears and distrusts.For such a political vision to be effective it must bepart of a national movement for the fundamental res¬tructuring of American society. The Washington co¬alition cannot create such a movement by itself. Butit can play a key role in initiating and building it. Ul¬timately to survive and accomplish its aims theWashington coalition will have to think in such largeterms. Lacking such imagination and will it can atbest preside over a stagnating and decaying city.This is its greatest challenge.The Chicago Maroon—Tuesday, May 1, 1984—11NIU 9, Chicago 7CHICAGO 1 2 2 2 -1\IU 3 2 1 3 - SGoals - Birch, 4, Drelles, 2, GoodellAssists — Connolly, Drelles. 2, Goo¬dellSaves — Kenner, 8, Stermer, 9 photo by donna tritterMaroon goalie Dean Stermer (74) makes a stop to preserve a 5-5tie in Saturday’s third period.Track third at WhitewaterBy Geoff SherryThe University of Chicago women’strack team completed the regular sea¬son last weekend with a strong thirdplace finish at the University of Wis¬consin (Whitewater) Invitational.Coach Linda Whitehead and her talent¬ed squad now look to this weekend’sconference meet at Monmouth Col¬lege.While setting three new school re¬cords, the Maroons used their balanceddepth to grab places in all but threeevents. Maria Del Favero bettered herschool record in the discus with a per¬sonal best toss of 118-5 1/2. She com¬mented, “I’m very happy with my pro¬gress this season and I hope to peak atconference.” The 400 meter relay teamof Romnee Clark, Shauna Smith, MyraLa Venue, and Linda Kinney managedfourth place with a new school mark of52.5 seconds. La Venue pointed out,“Shauna (Smith) was new at the eventand with some added practice thisweek on our handoffs we should be ableto better that time at conference.” LaVenue added two fifth place finishes inthe high hurdles and the 200 meters,while Kinney took a first in the longjump, and a fifth in the 1500 meters.Clark added a first and a third in the100 and 200 meters, while Smith alsochipped in a third in the high hurdleswith a school record of 16.3 seconds.Helen Straus continued her domi¬nance with firsts in the high jump andthe javelin, while adding a third in theshot put and a fourth on the 800 meterrelay team of Straus, Clark, Grace Park, and Sara Dell. The 1600 meterrelay team of Kinney, Dell, TraceyButton, and Ingrid Buntschuh earned athird place finish with a time of4:27.7.Although the MACW conferencemeet will sport some very good compe¬tition, the Maroons figure to do welland hope to repeat last year’s top fin¬ish. Del Favero added, “I think we areready for conference and we are defin¬itely shooting for a first. As a team weare optimistic and if we all put forthour best performances we have a veryrealistic chance of repeating as confer¬ence champs.”Whitehead commented, “I’m verypleased that we were able to score somany points against the strong Wiscon¬sin state schools (Parkside, Steven’sPoint, Oshkosh, Whitewater).” White¬head’s four “best all-around” trackand field athletes — Beth Lasky, Kin¬ney, Button, and Straus — competed atthe MAC-MACW Heptathlon/Decath¬lon championships at Grinnell CollegeSunday and yesterday. Straus has al¬ready qualified for the 1984 Nationals,and finished fifth in 1983 to earn All-American honors. Whitehead said thatit’s “unfortunate” that the conferencehas not yet included the heptathlon inthe conference meet, even though it’srecognized by the NCAA and the Inter¬national Track and Field Federation.The heptathlon consists of the 100 highhurdles, shot put, high jump, 200meters, long jump, javelin, and 800meter run.Birch scores four goals,PHOTO BY DONNA TRITTERHugh Birch, who had four goals for Chicago Saturday, ties the gameat 7-7 with this bullet in the fourth period. QUARTERbut NIU lax wins, 9-7By Tim GoodellHugh Birch’s four goals were notenough to help lead Chicago to a victo¬ry last Saturday on Stagg Field againstNorthern Illinois; the club lost, 9-7, in agame which closely resembeled lastyear’s Chicago NIU match-up.NIU’s early lead. 3-1 by the firstquarter’s end, came about largely dueto numerous Chicago errors. Birchscored a lone, unassisted goal in thefirst quarter and hit the net a secondtime on a Tom Drelles feed in the sec¬ond quarter — after Drelles himselfscored a goal thanks to Frank Connolly— to help make it 5-3 at halftime. Thesecond half saw two Chicago goals inthe third quarter — one from Birch(with an assist) and another from TomDrelles — and a final two goals in theclosing quarter (Birch and Tim Goo¬dell), but NIU broke away for the leadto win it, 9-7.Besides noting the absence of threestarters at the game, head coach ScottJordan (who plays defense) com¬plained of momentary weak points onthe part of both the offense and the de¬fense. Said Jordan. “We should havebeaten this team — we could have bea¬ten this team — but our errors killedus, especially on clearing. Also, we hadgreat difficulties because we had to en¬tirely re-structure the middle linessince two starters weren’t there.” Jor¬dan compared this year’s game to lastyear’s tough 10-9 loss to the same team.“The games were similar: last year,we had Brad Glaser to score five goalsfor us, this year we’ve got Hugh Birchwho made four.” Glaser’s five goal ef¬fort set a school record. Jordan also noted the strong performances of de¬fensemen Tim Small and John Mara-ganore, who filled in for the missingBill Hutman. Midfielders Tom Hufferand Steve Arnason as well as goalieDean Stermer received kudos for“their best games ever.”The remainder of the ‘84 SpringSchedule pits Chicago against threetough MCLA (Midwest Club LacrosseAssociation) rivals, namely, LincolnPark, Windy City, and Northwestern.To qualify for the MCLA playoffs atNotre Dame in June, the team mustwin each of these three games.Whether or not the team can pull it off,says Jordan, “will depend completelyon our ability to wrork together as ateam and to get along with one another.Lacrosse is a team sport, above all,and no one can try to be an individualwithout his teammates' help.”Next weekend, Chicago plays theLincoln Park Lacrosse Club — an es¬tablished Chicago-area team — at Bel¬mont Harbor in an official MCLAgame. The following week features theclub on Stagg Field against the WindyCity Lacrosse Club, a Midwest power¬house. Notes Jordan. “Both games willbe tough, certainly, but teamworkcould win it for us in every case — as itshould have all year long.”Off the IMWireIn men’s soccer play last week, Hitchcock blastedHenderson B, 8-1, to tie Linn, who edged Upper Rick-ert. 7-3, for the undergraduate residence Monday-Wednesday division lead. Shorey and Blackstone,with identical 2-0 records, also share the top spot.The Linn-Upper Rickert game started slowly, withmany fouls called on both teams. But Linn soonopened up with Chris Miller’s goal, quickly followedby a header by Eric Burke. At the half, the score re¬mained 2-0.Rickert stormed out in the much more active sec¬ond half, however, with three goals in the openingfive minutes of their only sustained pressure againstLinn goalie John Vail all afternoon. Tom Phelanscored on a header off of a throw in, Geoff Sherry hita bouncing shot past Vail, who had slipped in themud, and Phelan converted a penalty kick after afoul on Miller in the box. Rickert’s 3-2 lead did notlast long, however.Linn buckled down on defense and the offense thenwent to work, with Douglas Halpert’s goal starting acomeback. Rickert never recovered, and Linn won7-3 with four goals from Burke, and one each fromMiller, Halpert, and James “The Ginz” Ginsburg.On Tuesday, in an important contest to determinethe leader of the Tuesday-Thursday men’s under¬grad league, Bishop narrowly defeated Lower Flint,4-2.

Ko hung tough in thechampionship match against Whi¬tewater and won the close three setmatch, 6-0, 3-6, 6-3.At first singles, freshman Jay Wol-denberg rebounded after losing hisopening round match to Luther Col¬lege’s top player, 6-4, 6-3, by winningthe consolation bracket of his division.In the final, Woldenberg triumphedover Oshkosh, 6-0, 5-7, 6-1.Second singles player and seniorMike Vail faced a tough draw and cap¬tured third place. Vail won his openingmatch against Beloit, 6-1, 6-1, yet suf¬fered a heartbreaking loss to Whi¬tewater’s number two player (6-4, 7-6(8-6)). Vail regrouped to earn thirdplace by beating Wheaton, 6-3, 6-2.At third singles, sophomore HenryLujan fought valiantly yet lost hisopening match to Whitewater, 5-7, 6-4,6-1.

Norbert finishes the year 7-3,while Beloit falls to 5-5. Chicago, a 6-4finisher after completing the confer¬ence schedule a week and a half ago,needed a split in the Norbert-Beloitdoubleheader, since a tie at 6-4 wouldput the Maroons in the tournament.Green Knights’ pitcher Penny Jor¬genson earned the victory in the open¬ing game. After allowing a Beloit run inthe second inning, she threw perfectlyfor the rest of the game, retiring thelast 16 batters she faced.Norbert’s Sandy Stolp pitched thesecond game, and Green Knights’ headcoach Connie Tilley described neitheroi the games as close.“We played so badly at the start of the season,” Tilley said, adding thather team has since recovered and haswon eight of its last nine ball games.“We had taken doubleheaders fromOshkosh and Steven’s Point, so we hada lot of confidence going in (to the Be¬loit doubleheader).”Tilley said she does not know what toexpect in the conference tournament,since the southern division, led now byMonmouth and Coe, has yet to finish itsschedule. The Green Knights playedtheir first year of MACW softball thisseason, and Tilley said “it helps ourprogram a little bit to be in a confer¬ence. Hbw close our records were (inthe conference) shows it’s competi¬tive.” Most of the conference double-headers (ended in splits this year, andonly three games separated the topfour teams in the six-team confer-ence continued on page fourteenSports CalendarBaseball — Wednesday, May 2, vs. Carthage College (doubleheader), atStagg Field, 1 p.m.Men’s Tennis — Wednesday, May 2, vs Northeastern Illinois, at InglesideCourts, 3 p.m.APARTMENTSFOR RENTGRAFF & tCHECK HI8!5!1617 E. 55th St.Spacious, newly-decorated l’/i, 2 Vi,studios & 1 bedroom O'apartments in a quietwell-maintained buildingBU8-5566 yI A Short Walk From The lake Ami:Harper Ct. • University of ChicagoThe l.C. • RestaurantsIncludes• Master T.\ Antenna • Sen Ceramic Tile• Ind.

James Bond.” If this famous in¬troduction conjures up images of sex,violence, and vodka martinis, you willnot be disappointed by Casino Royale.The film contains an abundance of allthree, plus large doses of slapstickcomedy as director John Huston paro¬dies the Bond genre. Like the series itpokes fun at, Casino Royale has morethan one actor playing 007. includingPeter Sellers and David Niven. Niven’sBond is witty and charming, but lacksthe sexual prowess of Connery orMoore. In one hilarious sequence, a vir¬tuous Niven turns back the amorous as¬saults of a dozen voluptuous nympho¬maniacs. The film, however, is notcompletely celibate. In the grand tradi¬tion of Dr. No. a scantily clad UrsulaAndress displays her minimal actingabilities and ample physical resources.Casino Royale is a celebration of ex¬cess, featuring a fat Orson Welles, ashort Woody Allen, a drunk WilliamHolden, and a cast of thousands. Direc¬tor Huston's stacatto style keeps thepace fast and funny that it is hard tocare that the film has no plot at all.This is one James Bond movie that istruly distinguishable from all theothers.

Pickard. Dictionary of1,000 Best Films. Thurs., May 3 at 7:30& 9:30 p.m. International House. S2 —BT Lawrence of Arabia (David Lean,1962). Lawrence is one of the most suc¬cessful examples of the big-budget epicadventure film, and, with one possibleexception, is nearly flawless. It wasnamed Best Picture of 1962 (againstsome heady competition), and DavidLean won his second Oscar for Best Di¬rection (the first was for The Bridge Onthe River Kwai in 1957). The film alsowon Academy Awards for cinemato¬graphy (by Fred Young), art direction,sound, original score (by MauriceJarre), and editing — it’s gorgeous towatch, and consistently interesting de¬spite its length.It is also splendidly acted. PeterO’Toole, in his first major film role,gives a stunning performance as T.E.Lawrence, the English scholar whohelped lead the Arab revolt against Ot¬toman Turkey in World War I. The sup¬porting cast is wondrous: Alec Gui-ness, Omar Shariff, and Anthony Quinnas Arab leaders; Jack Hawkins, Anth¬ony Quayle, and Claude Rains as En¬glish officers and diplomats; Jose Fer¬rer as a Turkish general; and ArthurKennedy as an American journalist.Their characters are superbly writtenand played flawlessly.The only possible difficulty with thefilm is that it fails to provide any realinsight into Lawrence as a historicalfigure. The man was certainly enig¬matic — besides his military exploits,he was famous as a poet, and his schol¬arly works included an excellent prosetranslation of The Odyssey (under thename T.E. Shaw). But Robert Bolt,who based his screenplay rather tooloosely on portions of Lawrence’sSeven Pillars of Wisdom, chose tocreate a new mythology in which tocloak his protagonist, and the realLawrence fades into the background.This Lawrence is a marvelously flam¬boyant, poetic enigma, and serves ad¬mirably as the focal point of this partic¬ular story, but this is not history in anystrict sense. (Perhaps it was not in¬tended to be.) More historical back¬ground about the events themselveswould also make the film more com¬ prehensible — viewers not versed inWWI and Near Eastern history willhave hard time following the story.Still, Lawrence of Arabia is wonderfulepic spectacle, and offers, in additionto its esthetic and other pleasures,some insights into the problems of themodern Arab world, if not into thecharacter of Lawrence himself.
