The Chicago MaroonVolume 94, No. 5 The University of Chicago ©Copyright 1984 The Chicago MaroonFLOC chief hails U of C stock sale Friday, July 27, 1984By Cliff GrammichTHE LEADER of a farm la¬borers union hailed as a victo¬ry the sale of 88,245 shares ofstock in Campbell’s Soup Com¬pany formerly held by the Uni¬versity of Chicago. “This is areal positive sign that our cor¬porate campaign is goingwell,” Baldemar Velasquez,the president of the FarmLabor Organizing Committee(FLOC), told the Maroon ofFLOC’s battle against allegedunethical labor practices byCampbell’s.The University sold all of itsCampbell’s shares, whoseworth is estimated at $5 mil¬lion, in mid-June, according to F. Gregory Campbell, specialassistant to University presi¬dent Hanna H. Gray. TheMaroon learned of the decisionthis week, while Velasquezsaid FLOC was informed of itlast week.THE BATTLE betweenFLOC and Campbell’s has cen¬tered around Campbell’s hir¬ing of farming contractors whouse sharecropping techniquesto pay their workers. Contrac¬tors hired by Campbell’s di¬vide a portion of their profitswith farm workers, ratherthan paying them hourlywages and providing benefits.FLOC has organized workers disgruntled with suchpayscales. Although othercompanies besides Campbell’semploy such tactics, FLOCtargetted Campbell’s as thefocus of their protest becauseCampbell’s is one of the larg¬est companies in the food in¬dustry.Farm workers are excludedfrom the National Labor Rela¬tions Act; therefore Camp¬bell’s and their contractorshave refused negotiations.FLOC’s response has been aboycott of Campbell’s and itsproducts — Vlasic Pickles, Le-Menu, Franco-American, Pep-peridge Farms, Swanson Fro¬zen Dinners, Recipe Pet Food,Profs unsureon Israeli electionsBy Ravi Raj maneALTHOUGH NO politicalparty emerged as a clear-cutwinner in Israel’s parliamen¬tary elections Monday, manypolitical analysts have con¬strued the results as an upsetby the ruling Likud party,which had been trailing badlyin pre-election polls, over theopposition Labor Party. Thereaction on campus, however,has been reserved, with mosthere complaining of the ab¬sence of detailed results in theUS media.Final vote projections indi¬cate that Labor, headed by Shi¬mon Peres, has won 45 of the120 seats in the Knesset, whilethe conservative Likud, led byPrime Minister Yitzhak Sha¬mir, received 41 seats. The re¬maining 34 seats in the parlia¬ment were divided among 13smaller parties. It has becomeapparent that neither theLikud nor Labor can aloneLeonard Binder, professorof political science, saysAmerican media havebeen “irresponsible” form a Cabinet, since both par¬ties have fallen well short ofthe 61 seat majority needed toform a new government. Thusboth mother parties are at¬tempting to lure the varioussmaller parties into their re¬spective camps, in hope offorming a majority coalition inthe Knesset.MARVIN ZONIS, professorof psychology in the College,and a specialist in MiddleEastern affairs, stressed thatIsrael’s minor parties, whoseplatforms are generally moreideologically uniform than ei¬ther Labor or Likud, will ben¬efit the most from the elec¬tion.“The role of Israel’s smallerparties, which has been ob¬scured in past elections, is farmore significant in this elec¬tion,” he said. “Israel is now ina period of fragmentation.”According to Zonis, any co¬alition formed would be weakand unstable because, at best,it would consist of minor par¬ties with sharply right or left-wing ideologies strung to¬gether with concessions madeby a weakened Likud or LaborParty. Zonis added that Israelwill probably hold an interimelection “to clarify the deci¬sion of the electorate.”There is hope, however, thatthe Labor Party and the Likudwill agree to form a nationalunity government. AlthoughPeres, the Labor Party head,had refused such overtures be¬fore the election, Zonis be¬lieved that Labor could be con¬vinced to join the unitycoalition.“When it becomes clear tothe Labor leaders they cannotform a government, their al¬ternative will be to either enterinto the unity coalition or re¬ main separate as the opposi¬tion party,” said Zonis. Laborhas pursued the latter policythroughout the 1970’s by dis¬tancing itself from the rulingLikud bloc. Zonis contends that“the Labor Party attempted toportray the Likud as irrespon¬sible,” by focusing on Likud’sinability to arrest the 400 per¬cent rate of inflation, improverelations with Arab neighbors,and control the war in Leban¬on.SINCE THIS tactic, howev¬er, “did not work in the 1977 or1981 elections, Labor should bemore willing now to compro¬mise with Likud, especially ifinterim elections are to becalled,” Zonis said.Zonis was reluctant to agreethat the Likud had scored amajor upset over the LaborParty. Rather, he viewed theelection as neither a decisivewin for Likud nor indicative ofany grand change in the Israelipolitical mood.Many political analysts havepointed to the dismal showingsof the Progressive List forPeace Party and other peaceactivists, and the election ofAmerican-born Rabbi MeirKahane of the ultra-right-wingKach Party as indicative of ashift toward the right in Israel.Kahane, w hose party expousedthe deportation of all Palestin¬ians from Israel, easily won aseat after having made two un¬successful bids. Many politicalcommentators were furthershocked that the conservativeLikud did so well in the elec¬tion despite major economicproblems and its sometimescatastrophic foreign policy.Zonis attributes the surpriseover the results to inaccuratepre-election polling. Althoughhe said that there was a signifi¬cant drop in Labor’s populari¬ty in the last few weeks of thecampaign, he cites erroneousvote projections of undecidedvoters as the major pitfall ofthe pollsters.TO PROJECT final seat allo¬cations for each party, the poll¬sters assumed that the 20 per¬cent of the electorate who wereundecided would vote alongthe 60 percent Labor and 40percent Likud split which thepolls have been registering.Zonis said that 80 percent ofthe undecided vote, however,went to Likud.Zonis has observed that tra¬ditionally undecided voters, inIsrael as well as the US arethose who lack sincere interestcontinued on page six and Godiva Chocolate — aswell as pressuring large stock¬holders to push changes inlabor practices.F. GREGORY Campbell andRonald Schell, an associatetreasurer of the University’s,said the decision to sell wasroutine, and made for the eco¬nomic health of the Universi¬ty’s endowment. Schell saidthe value of the stock is a smallfraction of the University’stotal endowment, the worth ofwhich is estimated at $500 mil¬lion. Velasquez, however,claims the University mayhave begun to fear pressurefrom activists.“The University may giveall sorts of facts about whythey dumped the stock, but Ithink pressure from us andothers was one of them,” Ve¬lasquez said. “There is nation¬al pressure evident because ofthe presence on the Democrat¬ic National Convention andJesse Jackson’s speech.” TheCampbell’s boycott attractedattention at the Democrats’convention, and Jesse Jacksonreferred to it in a speech be¬fore the Party’s delegates.SOME FLOC sympathizershad not sought University di¬vestment of Campbell’s, butonly support for a shareholderresolution sympathetic toFLOC. Velasquez, though, stillsees the stock sale as benefi¬cial to FLOC.“We won’t be hurt by the po¬tential loss of shareholder sup¬port,” he said. “Campbell’snow knows some corporationsare hesitant to hold their stockbecause of our and others’pressure.” PHOTO BY KC MORRISSeymour Dekoven, presi¬dent of Perry Drugstores’Western Division, whichwill open a store at 53rdand DorchestercccokaysplansBy Lisa CypraTHE HYDE Park-KenwoodCommunity ConservationCouncil (CCC) voted 9 to 1Wednesday evening to recom¬mend that the vacant lots onthe eastern corners of 53rd St.and Dorchester Ave. bechanged in land-use designa¬tion from “institutional park¬ing” to commercial. The votefollowed the tenth such meet¬ing arranged for discussion ofthe site, on which the develop¬ers, Wil-Freds Development,Inc., intend to construct ashopping center.The meeting’s discussioncentered around the issue ofwhether or not to permit PerryDrugstores to have 24-houroperation or liquor sales.There are currently no liquorcontinued on page threeSecurity and policemake“super pinch’By Hilary TillA UNIVERSITY OFFICIALcalled the arrest a “goodbust.” A community group’scrime specialist termed the ar¬rest a “real super pinch.”The highly successful arrestoccurred early Sunday morn¬ing when University securityand Chicago police caught twoalleged burglars who are now-being connected w ith other re¬cent crimes.At about 6:15 a m. on Sun¬day, a citizen called the Chica¬go police about an attemptedbreak-in on the 5100 block ofGreenwood. The would-be bur¬glars were unsuccessful inbreaking into the residenceand left in a green pickuptruck.About a half an hour later,University security officerBruce Spencer spotted a greenpickup truck on 55 St. and Uni¬versity Ave. while patrollingthe area. Spencer followed thepickup truck to 55th St. andLake Park Ave. and broad¬casted for police assistance.CHICAGO POLICE respond¬ed to Spencer’s call and the ve¬hicle was stopped. After stop¬ping the truck, the policenoticed that burglary toolswere in the vehicle. Accordingto Robert Mason, law enforce¬ment coordinator for the SouthEast Chicago Commission, thetwo men in the truck werecharged with possession ofburglary tools,” which is amisdemeanor. Chicago police detectivesfrom Area 1 observed that avehicle similar to the greenpickup truck was reportedlyused in the commission of aburglary earlier this month.The truck was spotted during aburglary on the 4800 block ofEllis in the afternoon of July12.At Area 1 headquarters, wit¬nesses of the July 12th burgla¬ry viewed a lineup which in¬cluded the pair who wereapprehended Sunday. One ofthe pair, Jerome Jones, wasidentified by the witnesses.After the lineup, Jones admit¬ted committing the July 12thburglary.At the scene of the originalarrest, Officer Spencer noticedthat the other man, WilliamPickett, fit the description of aman wanted for robbery.About six hours before the ar¬rest, a woman was robbed bytwo men on the 5400 block ofCornell Ave.THE WOMAN was called toview a police lineup which in¬cluded Pickett. She identifiedhim as one of the two men whorobbed her on the street.Mason said that Jones andPickett may be connected withother unsolved area burgla¬ries. At present, the Chicagopolice department’s crime labis comparing fingerprintsfound at the scene of other “un¬cleared burglaries” withJones’ and Pickett’s finger¬prints.

Two CCC members, BobGrossman and Ozzy Badal, the devel¬opers, and several citizens then metlast Monday to discuss the problem.RESIDENTS, PARTICULARLYthose dwelling in housing contiguous tothe site, protested 24-hour operation ofany nearby store, noting the resultingincreased pedestrian and street traffic,the accumulation of trash, and the risein noise pollution.The compromise reached and ap¬proved will allow stores in the pro¬posed shopping center to operate be¬tween the hours of 7 a.m. and 11 p.m.Perry Drugstores, the proposedcenter’s anchor store, will be allowedto operate between the hours of 7 a.m.and 10 p.m., which are the sameoperating hours of other neighborhooddrugstores. Perry will also have the op¬tion to expand its hours, should one ofits local competitors do likewise.Although no negotiators for Perrywere at Wednesday’s meeting, two rep¬ resentatives of the company were pres¬ent who explained the operation, poli¬cy, and purpose of their company.EDWARD HECKMAN, assistantvice-president of Perry Drugstoreoperations in the Chicago area, saidthe new store would “try to be respon¬sive to community needs.” He pro¬mised that the new store would be“aesthitically pleasing, well stocked,well staffed,” and “a family shoppingexperience that’s a pleasant, safe al¬ternative.”Seymour Dekoven, president of theWestern Division of Perry Drugstores,and former owner of Dekoven Drug¬stores, said Perry Drugstores are “aclean, immaculate place that you canlook forward to shopping in ” He saidhis company would offer different ser¬vices and merchandise than that cur-renly available in Hyde Park. Deko¬ven, claiming his stores were ofsuperior quality, went so far as to offerchartered buses to those wanting tovisit other stores.THE CCC ruling requires that the de¬velopers who purchased the land, Wil-Freds, Inc., must accept the agree¬ment’s terms by Sept. 24, and whichthey must negotiate with Perry Drug¬stores, or seek a lease with new ten¬ants.The Chicago MaroonThe Chicago Maroon is the official student newspaper of the Universityof Chicago.

Sherman, Anne-Bernadette Weiner Woman raped in U of Capartment buildingBy Hilary TUIand Anne-Bernadette WeinerONE OFTEN-HEARD rumor is thatcrime gets worse here over the sum¬mer. Incidences of crime in the pastweek have buttressed this rumor.A female University student wasraped and robbed at knife point lastFriday evening on the south west sideof Hyde Park. The incident occurred atone of University housing’s apartmentbuildings.At about 8:00 p.m., the womanwalked into the foyer of her apartmentbuilding. While in the foyer, she wasgrabbed by the assailant and then wasforced into her apartment by him.Once in the woman’s apartment, theoffender robbed her of $9 and then at¬tacked her at knife point. The assailantwas described as a well-dressed, 6’2”black male.MarooncorrectionsTHE JULY 13 Maroon quoted Elean¬or Borus, associate director of CollegeAid, as saying the University was “dis¬appointed” with the Supreme Court de¬cision upholding the requirement ofdraft registration for financial aid.Borus was speaking only for the Officeof College Aid, and not the University,as we reported.A photo caption on page six of thesame issue said the Goons of Summerdefeated Stat’s Rats 15-8 in an IM soft-ball game. Instead, as the published re¬sults below the photo correctly report¬ed, the Rats won 15-8.The Maroon regrets the errors. The victim told the Maroon that shewanted to warn women of the multi¬plicity of situations in which a sexualassault could occur. She said thatwomen should realize that rapes do notjust occur in dark alleys late at night,and that rapes are not only perpetratedby men with questionable appear¬ances. In her case, she said, she was at¬tacked by a well-dressed man in herapartment building while it was stilllight out.As of Tuesday, no one had been ap¬prehended for the robbery and attack.A SECOND INCIDENCE of robberynear campus occurred Monday night:a woman’s purse was snatched. The of¬fender was chased by several wit¬nesses, and during the chase, the thiefdropped the woman’s purse.At about 8:45 p.m., the woman, whois a University employee, was walkingnorth on the 5500 block of WoodlawnAve. The offender passed her, and helooked like he was going to get into acar.As she passed him, the man grabbedthe woman’s shoulder purse. Thewomen held on to it. In the ensuingscuffle, the woman fell to the ground,and the offender got the purse.A WITNESS used a nearby whiteemergency phone to alert Universitypolice of the crime. Several other wit¬nesses chased the purse snatcher butlost him on University Ave. In thechase, the offender dropped the purse,which was recovered.University police responded quicklybut did not catch the offender. Thethief, who is still at large, was de¬scribed as a 6’1”, 180 lb. black male inhis late teens. At the time of the at¬tempted robbery, he was wearing amaroon shirt and dark sweat pants.The University of Chicago BookstoreSUMMER BOOK SALEcontinuesThis week featuring:Hundreds of selected titles!50% OFFGreat values available • Come early for best selection!The University of Chicago BookstoreGeneral Book Department970 E. 58th St.962-7712MONDAY — FRIDAY 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.The Chicago Maroon- Friday, July 27, 1984—3GO FOR THE GOLD!BEERSGROLSCH2 PACK 16 oz.

The Likud hastraditionally courted Sephardic Jews,predominantly poor immigrants fromthe Mideast and northern Africa, whohave been disaffected by the image ofthe Labor Party as favoring a Europe¬an society in Israel.As in the case of the Sephardic Jews’support for Likud, Zonis said that thereare many ethnic, religious, economic,and political factors which haveshaped this election. But to explain thiselection in terms of ideological shiftswithin the Israeli electorate would bepremature because of incomplete elec¬tion results, Zonis cautioned.LEONARD BINDER, professor ofpolitical science, echoed Zonis’s reser¬vations. Binder lambasted the USmedia for “its irresponsible reporting’’on the Israeli elections.“Although I have not seen a detailedbreakdown carried by a US newspaperof the parties elected to the Knesset, Iheard on the radio that the CommunistParty won 5 seats and an Arab partywon seven,’’ he said. “However, I haveno confirmation of these results, anduntil then I cannot make any concrete calculations regarding the possible for¬mation of a governing coalition.”RESPONDING TO the widely heldbelief that the Likud has the bestchance to form a coalition, Binder said“that if the Communists and the Arabshave between them 12 seats and Laborhas 45 seats, there is only a margin of 4seats left to block the Likud from build¬ing a coalition. And until results areavailable from other parties commit¬ted to joining with the Labor Party, wecan’t be sure whether the Likud partycan form a coalition.”Binder added that “if Labor is cap¬able of blocking the Likud, it is reason¬able to assume that the Likud will ul¬timately agree to form a governmentof national unity led by the LaborParty. But without further informationit’s impossible to know if the commentswe hear are based on facts or politicalpreference.”Yesterday, Israeli President ChaimHerzog was to have begun meeting theleaders of the Likud bloc and the LaborParty to decide which group is bestable to form a governing majority co¬alition.Break-in at aPHI DELTA THETA, a U of C frater¬nity located at 5625 S. University Ave.,was broken into on July 15 late at night.Nothing was reported stolen.A summer boarder of the fraternitysaid that she saw a person dartingthrough the kitchen at about 11:30 p.m.The offender was described as a 5’6”black male who was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans.UNIVERSITY SECURITY and the THE BIGGEST losers in the SovietUnion’s boycott of the Olympic gamesmay be the Soviets themselves, says aUniversity of Chicago anthropologistwho is leading a research project on so¬cial and cultural aspects of the Olym¬pics.John MacAloon, who has studied theOlympics for fifteen years, thinks theKremlin faces the prospect of in¬creased bitterness and resentment inEastern Europe as a result of the boy¬cott. MacAloon, an associate professorof social sciences in the College, is theauthor of This Great Symbol: Pierre deCoubertin and the Origins of the Mod¬ern Olympic Games (1981), and servesas an adviser to the InternationalOlympic Committee.MacAloon contends that the assump¬tion that Eastern European countriesare meekly following the Soviet line inpulling out of the Games is a mislead¬ing one.fraternityChicago police were notified about theincident. Several of the fraternityboarders searched the house and couldnot find the offender.One door in the back of the house wasfound unlocked. It was thought thatthis was probably where the intruderhad entered and left.THE BREAK-IN was the third suchincident at Phi Delta Theta in the pastacademic year. “OUR MEDIA make a mistake whenthey refer to the ‘Soviet’ or ‘Eastern-bloc’ nations when talking about theOlympics,” Mac Aloon said. “The audi¬ence gets the impression that Polish,Hungarian, or Rumanian athletes aremost interested in defeating Americanathletes. On the contrary, it’s the Sovi¬ets they are most interested in defeat¬ing.”He added, “Sport is one of the few av¬enues open to these countries for directand open competition with the Soviets,for preserving their ethnic nationalismin the face of Soviet military overlord¬ship.”MacAloon said that bitterness mayrun highest in East Germany, which isconsidered by many Americans to beone of the Soviet Union’s closestallies.“The East Germans invest tremen¬dous amounts of social resources intotraining their international teams,” hesaid. “They are usually among the topthree medal winners at the Olympiccompetitions. They are happy to placeahead of anyone, but I would say theytake a special satisfaction in finishingahead of Soviet athletes.“In a place were sport is so centralan aspect of life, the old cliche aboutpolitics intruding on sports may be re¬versed—sports intrudes on politics,”MacAloon added.Israeli elections highlight the roles of small partiesBy Mark W. ShermanIF THE rules by which last Sunday’selection in Israel applied in thiscountry, Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Co¬alition would win dozens of seats in theHouse and the Senate this fall. As it is,Jackson will have no voice in Congressat all unless he runs for the Senatefrom his home state of South Carolinaand ousts the incumbent, Strom Thur¬mond.Voters in Israel vote for parties, notpeople, in an at-large election. The 120seats in the Knesset are then dividedup among the various parties accord¬ing to each party’s share of the nation¬al vote.No seats are awarded to a party thatfails to win at least one percent of thenational vote. When neither majorparty wins a majority of seats, howev¬er, smaller parties like Jackson’sRainbow Coalition wield substantialpower.PROFESSOR LEONARD Binder, anauthority on the Middle East, says thatthe system in Israel permits voters to“articulate more precisely what theywant” than is possible here.“In Israel, where you have twomajor parties vying for the center, try¬ing to elbow each other out of the mid¬dle position, one can fine-tune one’svote by voting for one of the minor par¬ties,” he says.The tendency of the major parties inIsrael to move toward the center is alsotrue of the major parties in thiscountry, according to Marian Neudel,one of three Citizens Party candidatesfor University of Illinois Trustee. Theresult is a “rotating one-party sys¬tem,” she says.“THE SO-CALLED ‘winner-take-all’ system creates a psychology I’vealways considered very dangerous,”says Neudel, an environmental lawyerfrom Hyde Park. “People start lookingaround to see who the winner’s going tobe. If they don’t see one they like, theystay home.”The threat of a boycott of the Demo¬cratic nominee by black voters, in fact,had “a great deal to do with what limit¬ed success Jackson had” in persuadingthe party to adopt his positions, shesays.One of Jackson’s demands was forthe elimination of run-off primaries,which pit the winner of a plurality ofvotes against the runner-up before ei¬ther can run as the Democratic nomin¬ee. Jackson contends that this systemprecludes the election of a black can¬didate from any district where blacksdo not form a majority of at least theDemocratic Party. Harold Washing¬ton, for example, would not have beatJane Byrne in a run-off, Neudel says.Some in the Democratic Party con¬tend, though, that if the winner of a plu¬rality of votes cannot then win a run¬off, he or she is likely to lose in thegeneral election. Those who hold thisviewpoint point to the fact that Wash¬ington almost lost to Bernard Epton ina city thought to be a Democraticstronghold. Gary Hart, on the otherhand, was said to be more popularamong Republican voters than Mon¬dale, and hence in a better position todefeat Ronald Reagan.PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEMS likeIsrael’s differ from ours not only in therole small parties play but in the factthat at any time the legislature can dis¬solve itself and call for new elections.If these bestow power on the oppositionPHILOSOPHICAL INVESTIGATIONS1 Cfecide whether the seriesV n' ♦ m *■ in1 n!ConvergesUMMFTJ1 I UAVC 5CIN MULLING OVCTTMI?

It is equally impossible,however, for a President in that situa¬tion to govern effectively, according toLloyd N. Cutler, Counsel to PresidentCarter..In an article in the Fall 1980 issue ofForeign Affairs, Cutler proposed thatthe president be given the power to dis¬solve Congress, which in turn couldcall for a new presidential election. InCutler’s scheme, the president andmembers of Congress would all servesimultaneous six-year terms.Neudel recognizes the need for amethod of dismissing a president thatis less drastic than impeachment, butdoes not support the Cutler proposal,which she says would create “a sort ofmutual blackmail” between the presi¬dent and Congress.The clamor of the political process inIsrael does not frighten those who par¬ticipate in it, according to Binder.“Some theorists hold the view thatone of the gravest threats to democra¬cy is, paradoxically, too much democ¬racy,” he says. “In making their argu¬ment, they cite the role of proportionalrepresentation in the rise of the Naziparty in Weimar Germany.”THE FACT that no party won a ma¬jority of seats in last Sunday’s electiondoes not create a “particularly tragicor dangerous situation,” Binder says.“In this instance each party will have arole to play in the political process,” hesays.The only real hope a third party in the United States has of affecting theoutcome of a presidential election is ifit wins the electoral votes of one ormore states. Though an electoral ma¬jority must be won only for a day, whilea legislative majority in countries likeIsrael must be kept together for as longas its leader hopes to govern, it must bewon nonetheless.Thus if neither of the major partycandidates wins a majority of electoralvotes on its own, the third party’s votesbecome very important. In this re¬spect, the electoral college functionslike the parliamentary systems ofIsrael and Europe.George Wallace tried to take advan¬tage of this fact in 1968. He won9,000,000 votes in that election, farmore than the 500,000 by which Rich¬ard Nixon beat Hubert Humphrey. Theelectoral vote was quite different, how¬ever. Wallace got 46 votes, andHumphrey 191, but Nixon had morethan the two put together with 301.Sonia Johnson, the likely presidenti¬al candidate of the Citizens Party, isnot expected to win any electoral votes.The former chairman of the party’s Il¬linois chapter is more convinced thanever of the need for the party, however.Candidates for office tend to avoid con¬troversial positions, according to Dr.Quentin Young, former of the Health &Medicine Policy Research Group andchairman of the Chicago Board ofHealth.“It’s a subversion of democracy notto have clear-cut positions to whichpeople will adhere,” Young says. It is,however, “very hard to resist” votingfor Mondale as “the most likely vehiclefor getting Reagan out,” he says.BY JIM JOZEFOWICZb—The Chicago Maroon—Friday, July 27, 1984CLASSIFIEDSSPACE1 bdrm in 4 bdrm apt.

You will watch The Barbarian and theGeisha and Good Heavens, Mr. Allisonback to back until you repent.There’s something about writing a re¬view of a Huston film that reminds a criticof his own mortality. John Huston is trulyAmerica’s director. Both his product andpersonality have appealed to Americanaudiences in particular for over three de¬cades. His most loved film — The MalteseFalcon — was already appearing in filmcourses as a classic before most criticswere even in school (and before this criticwas even in vivo). The result of this snow¬balling reputation has been that criticshave rarely taken a close look at the realquality of Huston’s portfolio and, evenmore rarely have they criticized him formore than a temporary transgressionthrough one film or another. It is for thatreason that this review takes, with sometrepidation, a careful look at Huston’s lastfilm Under the Volcano and the actual le¬gacy of this man who would be King.As his 31st major film, Under the Vol¬cano would seem a fair place to finallystop and appraise a directorial career thatprecedes, nine administrations, threewars and most of the film equipment thatyoung directors take for granted. More¬over, there is Huston’s own admittancethat this film has been a dream of his tomake since he first read Lowry’s novel In1947. Far more important, however, is thefact that all of the usual villains that Hus¬ton groupies blame for his more banalfilms are conveniently absent this time. IfUnder the Volcano is a sorry film thenthere won’t be a Selznick or Mayer or Zan-uck to accuse. This film is, for better orworse, a product of Huston’s talents and isuniquely suited, therefore, ae a litmus testof his value as a director.All this considered, Under the Volcanomust feel like a trial by ordeal for Huston’smore aware advocates, not because it’sany worse than some of his past disap¬pointments but because he clearly at¬tempts something that far exceeds hisabilities. Instead of being a reaffirmationof his directorial prowess, Under the Vol¬cano offers textbook examples of Huston’sshortcomings as a filmmaker. Most promi¬nent of these is his open squandering and,in some cases, outright rejection of some ofthe original work's most captivating imag¬ery. (This frittering away of powerfulimages and symbols is, as we will see, afairly consistent fault in Huston’s pastfilms.)The fiim itself stands as a real riches torags story. Based on Malcolm Lowry’s crit¬ically acclaimed novel, Under the Volcanoseemed, at its inception, a director sdream. It contains a number of elementsthat American audiences have often react¬ed well to: the witty inebriate, the roman¬ tic gentleman/freedom fighter, the wildand unpredictable countryside. The storytakes place in 1938 and concentrates on atwelve hour period during what the Mexi¬cans call “The Day of the Dead’’ — a day ofpart remembrance and part celebrationthat is not unlike our Halloween. The ac¬tion surrounds the life of a former EnglishConsul to Mexico — Geoffrey Firmin — whois slowly coming unglued as a result of hiswife’s betrayal and abandonment. Duringthis short period we grow familiar andsomewhat fond of this diplomat turneddipsomaniac whose past pain makes mod¬eration “excessive.’’ With the return of hisestranged wife from New York and his ro¬mantic brother from (where else) the Span¬ish Civil War, the stage is set for Firmin’sown day of ghoulish celebration and re¬membrance.That in a very small nutshell is the basicsetting in Lowry’s book, but before welook at what Huston does with it (or, prob¬ably more aptly, does to it) we should lookat why this story should appeal to him inthe first place. While the last truly film-noir picture Huston made was The AsphaltJungle (1950). he has always gravitatedtowards movies with characters, like Geof¬frey Firmin, who are firmiy in the film-noirtradition. These are men and women (moreoften the former) who are driven by hid¬den forces — usually towards disaster,certainly towards the unknown. They arepeople whose lives are filled with uncer¬tainty, suspicion, and almost alwaysdanger.Huston’s interest in such characters isprobably a result of his own personalityand lifestyle. He likes central figures who(like himself) are highly nonconformist andindividualistic. Humphrey Bogart typifiedthis type of character in his many filmswith Huston: Maltese Falcon (1941), Acrossthe Pacific (1942), Key Largo (1948), TheTreasure of Sierra Madre (1948), The Afri¬can Queen (1952), and Beat the Devil‘(1954). With Bogart’s departure, the film-noir character was further carried over byJohn Wayne The Barbarian and the Gei¬sha), Robert Mitchum (Good Heavens, Mr.Allison), Paul Newman (The Life and Timesof Judge Roy Bean) and the duo- of SeanConnery and Michael Caine (The Man WhoWould Be King). Likewise, these elementsof isolation, noncomformity, and hiddenforces are abundantly present in the roleof Firmin in Under the Volcano, who sla¬vishly rushes towards « destination thateven he cannot completely comprehend.Another aspect of this latest film that isstrongly in the Huston tradition is itsstrange romantic flavor. Past Huston char¬acters have, more often than not, been vic¬tims of fairly risque and self-defeating in¬fatuations with other characters, inNewman’s case it was with the untouch¬able Lily Langtry, in Wayne’s case a gei¬sha, in Mitchum’s case a nun, and in Bran¬do’s (Reflections in a Golden Eye, 1967) asolider. Following form Albert Finneyplays a broken-down former diplomat stillmadly in love with his disloyal wife whileintentionally, even masochistically, keep¬ing her from returning to him. This reputa¬tion for high-powered, somewhat per¬verse romantic relationships led one criticto write some years ago that Huston con¬structs intimate scenes “as if he were play¬ing croquet with a sledgehammer.’’These recurring elements do give Hus¬ton’s films a sense of continuity but to callthese things, as. peoplr often do, compo¬nents of a particular “Huston style” — nomatter how subtle — seems flimsy at best.One doesn’t develop a style as a director,as Huston does, by attempting to tip-toethrough a story so not to distract the audi¬ence. Truth be known, John Huston oftendirects as if it were a painful duty. Hisvery philosophy seems determined to re¬duce the director to a largely functionalrather than inspirational role in the mak¬ing of a film. ‘‘If new ground is ever bro¬ken,’5 he wrote, “It’a-purely accidental.”Huston apparently concluded many yearsago that being ’’faithful” to a text is tominimize your role as much as possible.This, however, is a great misconceptionsince as Huston himself admits “Just point¬ing a camera at a certain reality means asinterpretation of that reality."The problem with Huston's approach isthat it s a lot like being sort of pregnant.*When he elected to film Stephan Crane'sThe Rad Badge of Courage, for example,he had already conceptualized what in the book he wanted to convey on the screen.This is an interpretation and a necessaryone. To then feign chastity and prohibitany further interpretation of the originaltext is the worst manipulation of all. Sincemost classics were not written with film-making in mind, reproducing the actionstrictly according to the text is not neces¬sarily doing it a service. Instead a directorneeds to be bold and direct in his percep¬tion of the material and not abandon it to“progress naturally’’ in a medium thatoften proceeded the original author.Under the Volcano is a prototypical ex¬ample of the dangers of Huston’s sink orswim” school of direction. First. Huston se¬lects a script by Guy Gallo that is highlyinterpretative and which entirely removesan important character, so to allow him to, shoot the story according to his specifica¬tions. Then with the original story alreadyaltered he takes no further steps to clarifyand strengthen this interpretationthrough his direction. The inevitable prob¬lems that result are classic Huston.Some of the problems originate with thescript that Huston selected. As legend hasit, Huston waited over thirty years for theright script to come along to capture the in¬tensity of Lowry’s novel. This boggles themind when one tries to imagine the qualityof the scripts that Gallo’s work must havebeat out. Gallo sets out to work Lowry’sstory into a screenplay and ends up whit¬tling a great white oak into a matchstick.His script leaves the characters withoutdepth, the symbolism virtually withoutmeaning, and the dialogue without theoriginal vitality (otherwise he does a won¬derful job).The most imprudent decision made byGallo (and Huston) was the elimination of acharacter named Laruetle. in the novel,laruelle tells the story of the three centralfigures over a glass of brandy with Dr.Vigil (who was left in the film). Coming ayear after the event, Laruelle's retrospec¬tive account adds to the feeling of inevita¬bility and pending doom that surroundsGeoffrey Firmin. As in Tolstoy’s Death ofIvan llych, the reader is given two mentalclocks to refer to as the story unfolds. Firstis Laruelle’s clock which shows Firmin’s lifeas frozen a minute before midnight. Thenthere is Firmin’s, which moves ever rapidlytoward that point — ticking away towardsdisaster.GaJfo and Huston, for some reason, feltthat this retrospective device “did notwork in a dramatic adaptation.” This isconfusing since this is precisely the devicethat Huston retained in Kipling’s The ManWho Would Be King. There the story wasgreatly enhanced by the retrospective ac-/count given by fellow traveler MichaelCaine. Lowry’s use of this technique was noless effective than Kipling’s and its remo¬val meant the loss of a major contributingfactor to the novel’s sense of urgency.Yet even Gallo's script could have beensalvaged if Huston had gone all the wayand been bolder in his direction, insteadHuston fatalistically allows the fiim tomarch to its own drummer. The result isthat this once fast paced story now movesmore like a funeral dirge. The whole fiimseems stuck in first gear. A movie like this,which is based on illusions of death and in¬ :::::::h• • ••••evitability, needs to speed up at the endas the characters approach their inescap¬able destinies. As in the book, the audi¬ence should feel that these three peopleare being pulled by some hidden force atan ever-increasing speed. However Hustoncaptures none of this in his version andseems to have taken just the charactersand plot from Lowry's book while losingthe spirit and the power that made it sopopular. The film therefore has most of theexterior facade but none of the interiorthrust of Lowry’s work and simply plodsalong at a constant pace like a milk horsepulling a FerrarujfThere are a great number of opportuni¬ties lost in Under the Volcano that couldhave given Gallo’s script some of the fireof the original work. Lowry’s work is al¬most back to back imagery and allegory.With the action of the story before WorldWar II, this witty inebriate, waltzingtowards disaster, is a good analogy forthe world Itself in the late 30’s. Regret-ably, this analogy is given a minimalamount of work in the film and probablyescapes most people who haven't read thebook.The major disappointment with Huston’swork in this film deals with these lostimages. Both Gallo and Huston seemed todo their best to water down the symbolicor allegortcal nature of the text. Many ofthe original images remain in the film butin a condition that one wonders why theywere kept in at all. They've been undercutand made shallow Yet Huston obviouslywants the depth that they would bring tohis film. He plants recurring imagesthroughout the picture but, with only oneexception (the horse/Firmin analogy), failsto dramatically tie them into the main ac¬tion. Instead they are dumped in scenes assort of de facto symbols. The old womenand the cock, who periodically pop upplaying dominos throughout the film, haveno real value or significance to.us. We reasked simply to accept them as profoundstatements without relevance (One almostexpects a big blond to come tap dancingacross the screen with a sign saying “deepmoment”).Huston appears to be trying somethingnew in these scenes. His history as a direc¬tor has been in capturing physical splen¬dor and realities. He did this well in TheTreasure of Sierra Madre, The AfricanQueen, and The Man Who Would Be King,but here he is moving beyond this and at¬tempting to explore the metaphysical.From the beginning we are told by Firminthat this is going to be a story aboutmagic. He tells us magic holds him in Mexi¬co and that, for him, there's nothing soreal. Instead of giving us a purely pedes¬trian view, Huston wisely adds some shotsapparently gauged at capturing some ofthe magic of which Firmin speaks.This attempt at the magicqi would havebeen spectacular in combination withLowry’s novel had Huston more of an abili¬ty to conjure it up. Regretabiy, Under theVolcano demonstrates that Huston doesn'thave the Bergman touch for the metaphys-icaljand the sublime. Bergman’s scenes inFanny and Alexander are so enchantingbecause they seem to flow and form natu¬rally, even supernaturally. Huston'simages, on the other hand, are there onlyin the two-dimensional sense; they hangawkwardly and conspicuously in space.Moreover, he doesn’t succeed in producingthe sort of majesty and mystery of the ter¬rain that Gregory Nava had in his fiim ElNorte.

Dangerous er and the police alike begin to movein on Hurt, believing him to have theinformation that will solve thecrime. Also in the cast are JamesWoods, funny and intense as Hurt'salways-in-trouble best friend, andChristopher Plummer in his best filmrole in years as a suave, morallytroubled diplomat called upon toplay the villain. The refreshingly un¬hackneyed screenplay is by SteveTesich, who provided similar ser¬vices for such films as BreakingAway and The World According toGarp.

Finney puts in an abso¬lutely magnificent performance as a mansuffering from “too much sobriety; toomuch moderation.” This is probably thebe&t performance we will see this year andalone makes the movie worth seeing. Fin¬ney brings a depth and sweetness to historment that is truly remarkable. With theexception of Ray Milland’s performance inThe Lost Weekend, Finney’s portrayal of adesperate man “drinking himself sober” isan unrivaled study of the alcoholic mental¬ity. Regrettably, Huston has the rest of themovie moving to a Gregorian chant. Fin¬ney’s performance so far outstrips thispace that he resembles a race horse tryingto pull a farm plow through a field ofmud.If all this is true, you may ask, then whydoes Huston enjoy such a lofty reputationas a director? Good question. The answeris two-fold. First, Huston knows talent andknows enough to pay for it. His most lovedfilms The Maltese Falcon, The Treasure ofSierra Mad re and The African Queen haveall been more casting than directorial suc¬cesses. With Bogarts, Hepburns, and Fin¬neys, one’s room for error as a director isgreatly expanded. Moreover, with hisdebut success with The Maltese Falcon andhis string of pictures featuring Bogart,Huston soon had a list of film greats withwhich his name was widely associated.Consequently by the mid-l950’s Hustonwas already deeply ensconced in this pro¬tective glitter of his Bogart bonanza.The other reason for Huston’s unflaggingpopularity can clearly be traced to theman himself. A critic can say a greatnumber of things about his directing abili¬ty but one has to admit that this guy’s gotcharisma. Once a top-ranking boxer, Hus¬ton lives and talks more like Ernest He¬mingway than Hemingway ever did. He'severything Americans like in the Westernmale stereotype: a hard drinker, gambler,hunter, horseman, and painter. Even if hecouldn’t necessarily produce like a direc¬tory king, he was a natural when it came toliving and looking like one. In fact, one ofOscar Wilde’s statements would fit Hustonto the tee: “I have put my genius into mylife. I have put only my talent into mywork.”There will be many who will feel thatthis short review of Huston’s long careerhas been far too harsh. Many will assertthat this review failed to take into accountvarious mitigating and peripheral issues.Well, for these people one can only recallthe line that Geoffrey Firmin uses over andover in Under the Volcano: “There’s justsome things you can’t apologize for.” GOOD LOOKIN MFA’Sby Juanita RocheForgive me, but I was surprised to findout that the U. of C. even had an M.F.A.program; I was therefore that much moresurprised, when I ''isited the Smart Gal¬lery, to see that our M.F.A.’s do goodwork. Sheri Rush’s gigantic canvases(which, according to the quotation she hadposted on the wall, apparently had some¬thing to do with Stonehenge) are some¬what lacking in meaningful content, sothat their vibrance, inadequately con¬trolled, teeters on the verge of loudnessand confusion. But they don’t quite toppleover the edge, and they remain at leastattractive. Michael Weinberg has finetechnical ability in the medium of pencil.His drawing juxtaposes an artifact from aprimitive culture with a middle-classAmerican, so that the viewer more fullyunderstands the mundane value of the ap¬parently exotic artifact and the exoticrichness of meaning of the apparentlymundane person. Unfortunately, half adozen of these drawings are mounted onthe wall in an unbroken row, and the jux-IDEALISTIC SOVIETSWild Berries by Yevgeny YevtushenkoWilliam Morrow, $15.95Wby Tom LyonsThe new work by the Russian poet Yev¬tushenko is less a novel than a collection ofremarkable character studies which re¬veal Yevtushenko’s love of moral ideal¬ism. The storyline, in the sense of progressof events, is simple, centering around ageological expedition into the wilds of Si¬beria: but because no one character is fa¬vored for development over any other,Yevtushenko is able to be panoramic inscope. Characters that are completely in¬cidental to Yevtushenko’s plot have beengiven a distinctive outlook on the world,one which is molded out of the hardships,compromise and self-doubt of their lives.Most are passionate believers in the moralintegrity of the Russian people and in agrand future for their homeland. At timeshis characters ae so eloquent in defendingtheir ideals that it seems Yevtushenko’svision is of a Russia peopled by poets.In particular, one geologist namedSeryozha Lachurgin exemplified the kindof idealism so cherished by Yevtushenko.The son of a prominent Leningrad academ¬ic, Lachurgin remembers his childhood witha mixture of nostalgia and indignation, forlike Tolstoy’s Prince Bezukhov and certainother noblemen-heroes in nineteenth cen¬tury Russian fiction, Lachurgin is unable totake for granted the social institutionswhich secure his elevated position in Sovi- taposition thus loses much of its impact.(Indeed, my first reaction on seeing themwas, “Oh, God, an artist with a gimmick”;were it not for the fact that I had made asolemn promise to review this show, Iprobably would have passed over them.)Crisanne Lamark’s still-lifes are also tech¬nically good, and are, moreover, quite at¬tractive; but they are neither beautifulenough nor meaningful enough to hold theviewer’s attention. Karen Scharff is re¬presented by two paintings and two draw¬ings. In both media she is adept at creat¬ing a deep, complex space for the viewerto pfay in.The best work at this show, though, is inthree dimensions. The quotation providedby Belu-Simion Fainaru reads, “The Gar¬den is the myth of the Beginning and theChapel that of the End. House is the focusMan gives to his life between both ex¬tremes.” His untitled (1984) explores theway in which we mediate between theworld and the mind. It has a childlike lookabout it which is perfectly appropriate: itwas as children that we learned to manip¬ulate objects, overlaid them with mean¬ings, and fitted them into abstract orders;the work reminds us of that time and chal¬lenges us to examine that process. Theawkwardness of the work’s constructionet society. Not everyone in Lachurgin’s cir¬cle feels such pangs, however. Igor Selzen-yov, a brilliant student of English atLachurj j’s academy, is '‘repelled” me>e-ly by th faces of common people. He jus¬tified his own ruthless maneuvers towardgaining a position in the diplomatic corpswith cynical statements that hcrrify La¬churgin. At one point, Selzenyov’s fatherin despair shouts that Slezenyov belongsto “the class of careerists...What’s fright¬ening is that someone like you was bornunder socialism.” Lachurgin’s moral sensi¬tivity, In marked contrast to the“careerism” of his peers, indicates thatfor Yevtushenko, decent people are ob¬liged to question not only the morality oftheir own actions but also the morality ofthe social status quo — even in a Commu¬nist state.Yevtushenko’s prose presented I amsure a number of challenges to the transla¬tor. He casts his conversations in a brisk,popular style, while his evocations of theSiberian countryside are broad and poet¬ic: and an attempt at reconciliation be¬tween the two styles by the translator,Antonia W. Bouis, is unsuccessful. The pas¬sages describing the taiga and especiallythe sounds of the taiga are effective, if abit detached emotionally; however, theselofty images sit ill with the kind of enthu¬siastic American cliche into which Bouisrenders the rest of the novel. Sentenceslike “It was weird but fun drinking out ofthe blue and white flowered containerswith the metal caps” fell flat on my ears Iam assuming that this is the fault of thetranslator, because occasionally a livelier further points out the tenuousness of thesubject-object relationship and neatly un¬derlines the inevitability of distortion inrigid analyses (not to mention art inter¬pretation).Whereas Fainaru takes for granted thatthere is a real world and there is a mind,Kazunori Kuroki is asking just what isreal. In Armchair with a Green Leg (1983),the green line which is painted onto thechair seems more substantial than thechair itself. Ensemble with a White Chair(1984) consists of two chairs separated bya coffee table. The white chair is "a realchair” (a found object) — but the artist’sconstruct.expresses the essence of “chair”far more clearly. On the othe* hand, whenone views the white chair closely, onefinds that it has a square of grey metaltacked to the seat, which reinforces itssolid-object-ness; whereas the square ofgrey painted on the seat of its counterpartgives it an unreal feel and thrusts it backout of “life” into “art”. The two chairshold a vociferous argument across the cof¬fee table. Meanwhile, around the corner,Mike Mercil’s installation, consistinglargely of a screen-door, waits for some¬one to enter into it. But I didn’t hear anyinteresting conversations going on inside,so I walked on by.and more immediate style does emergefrom behind the pale Americanisms.Another fault, however, cannot be attri¬buted to the translation, and that is thedisjointed character of Yevtushenko’s nar¬rative. In his desire to bring together bitsof every aspect of Soviet life (his charac¬ters include peasants, politicians, scien¬tists, a cosmonaut, a film star and a poet),Yevtushenko risks having no unifyingimage or theme. It may be inevitable thatthe novel should resemble an arbitraryhodge-podge, since it seems to be Yevtu¬shenko’s aim to capture the spirit of a peo¬ple — and this for so incredibly complex apeople as the modern Soviets. This novelwould be interesting enough even if Yev¬tushenko had failed at his aim, since fewcontemporary writers have dared to un¬dertake anything so grandiose and Tol¬stoyan. But I think Yevtushenko is closestto expressing what he thinks to be the es¬sence of his countrymen when he has hischaracters look toward the future. In amystical epilogue to the novel, the com¬ment is made about the rocket builder anddreamer Konstantin Tsiolkovsky that“this man is immortal...it only seems thatpeople like him die.” Perhaps the beliefthat his literature and his ideas are immor¬tal is the hallmark of the Russian ideal-WORLD'S SMALLEST BRUNCH ADGREY CITY BRUNCH SUNDAY1 PM AT 5472 HARPER APT 1ACHAIRS, BERRIES FOR EVERYONEmarian realtyinc.D3, REALTOR The Closer You Get The Better We Look!Hyde Park’s Completely NewApartment ResidenceA Short Walk From The lake And:Harper Ct. • University of ChicagoThe I.
