EASTER¬BROOK, a University of Chica¬go law professor, was nominat¬ed Wednesday to the US Courtof Appeals in Chicago. If con¬firmed by the Senate, Easter-brook, at 35 years of age, willbe the “youngest Circuit Courtjudge since the 19th Century,”said Douglas Baird, AssociateDean in the Law School.A noted jurist, author, andteacher, Easterbrook graduat¬ed from the U of C Law Schoolin 1973, cum laude. In 1979, hecontinued his association withthe University, this time as alaw professor, after serving inthe Carter Administration as aDeputy Solicitor General. Inaddition to serving as a profes¬sor here, Easterbrook is alsothe editor of the Law School’sJournal of Law and Econom¬ics.The nominee has been in¬volved in the preparation ofabout one-hundred SupremeCourt briefs, either in a princi¬pal or substantial role.

At atwo-hour public hearing Tues¬day evening in Hyde Park,neighborhood residents voicedtheir opinions on the propos¬als.Over one hundred residentsshowed up at the meeting.Among those attending wereAid. Lawrence Bloom (5th)and Aid. Timothy Evans(4th).THE HEARING was thefirst of three planned this pastweek on the proposed changesin bus services in the nearSouth Side, Hyde Park, andSouth Shore areas. Accordingto Harold Hirsch, the managerof the CTA’s Operation Plan¬ning and moderator of Tues¬day’s hearing, the meeting “ispart of a many step process”which could lead to the imple¬mentation of several compre¬hensive bus route changes.David Lafferty, a CTA plan-ner, opened the meeting with HP center not sold for economicsFrank H. Easterbrook, pro¬fessor in the Law School,was nominated by Presi¬dent Ronald Reagan to theSeventh US Court of Ap¬pealstion of being a political conser¬vative. According to one reportabout the professor’s nomina¬tion, Easterbrook’s “approachto corporate law and anti-mo¬nopoly questions is ‘right out ofthe Ronald Reagan mold.’ ”THE JURIST is also knownas a “prolific writer of scholar¬ly articles,” and as an experton anti-trust law. According toBaird, Easterbrook is “one ofthe most gifted lawyers in thecountry.”“He’ll make a marvelousjudge,” added Walter Blum,the Wilson-Dixon Professor inthe Law School. By Mark W. ShermanTHE DECISION by a syn¬dicate of owners to sell theHyde Park Shopping Center at55th and Lake Park to a cor¬poration affiliated with theUniversity was prompted notby economic factors but by“age, illness, and death” in thesyndicate’s ranks, the manwho handled the sale said thisweek.The number of owners in¬creased as those who diedwere replaced by their morenumerous descendants untilthere were about “20 or 25“owners, according to AbelBerland. vice-chairman of thecenter’s management firm.Arthur Rubloff and Co.“It had become impossiblefor them to operate as a unit.”he says. “We recommendedthat they sell.”The owners acceptedBerland's recommendationand put the center up for saletwo years ago. “It had nothingto do with depreciation or taxwrite-offs.” he said.HERMAN COHN of Cohn &Stern is “absolutely” happywith the sale. “The old owner¬ship did very little except forsome cosmetic improvementsand a few commonmaintenance things.

It isalso “not inconceivable that acenter like this could be enclos¬ed,” he says.Berland knows of no plansfor expansion that are under“active consideration.” nor ofany for enclosure. It is the in¬tention of the new owners,however, to use “a good por¬tion. if not all. of the cash flow”to make physical im¬provements, he says.“It’s my guess that, ifanything, the center will getmore tender loving care thanit’s ever received before. Thecenter is a landmark in HydePark, an important anchor inthe community, and a jewel inthe neighborhood — jewel inthe sense of a gem.” he addsquickly.The gem to which Berland refers was sold for “a little lessthan” $3.7 million, he says.The university’s role in financ¬ing the deal remains undisclos¬edJONATHAN KLEINBARD,University vice-president forcommunity affairs and realestate, would say only that theuniversity is “affiliated” withthe new group of owmers.

Thefirst proposal he mentionedwould restore “previous routeswith reduced hours and widerintervals.” The “previousroutes” referred to are thepre-1981 *1 Drexel/Hyde Parkand the pre-1981 *38 Indianaroutes. Proposal 1 would in¬crease the CTA’s operatingcosts by about $230,000, hesaid.The second proposal Laf¬ferty expounded on calls forthe creation of a new down¬town route which would servethe Lake Meadows and PrairieShores communities. It alsocalls for the elimination of the*31 31st St. route and the elimi¬nation of the *35 35th St. ser¬vice east of King Dr.The eliminated routes wouldbe replaced by the *5 service.This proposal was said to add$240,000 to the CTA’s annualoperating costs.The third proposal “takes abroader view of rider service.”said Lafferty. It is the CTAstaff’s “recommendedchoice,” added the planner.Proposal 3 would tack on anadditional $100,000 to CTAoperating costs, stated Laf¬ferty. According to the CTA’sOperations Planning depart¬ment, the third proposal “wasdesigned to deal with all the re¬quests received from residentsof many South Side areas.”The aspect of the third plan,which is of most interest to stu¬dents is the proposed increasein services by the *6 JefferyExpress. The Jeffery Expressservice to and from downtownwould be extended to late eve¬nings on weekdays and wouldoperate on Sundays and holi¬days.continued on page three By Hilary TillCITING STATISTICS whichshow that crime is up in theHyde Park-South Kenwoodneighborhood, a University of¬ficial advised caution and com¬mon sense to all area residentsthis summer. “My concern isnot to alarm people.” said Jon¬athan Kleinbard. Vice-Presi¬dent for University News andCommunity Affairs, but“clearly crime has increased”in the neighborhood.Kleinbard said unverifiedcrime statistics suggest thatcrime has increased by fifteenpercent in the area for the firstseven months of this year com¬pared to the same period lastyear. The area for which thesestatistics were compiled isbounded by 47th St. and 61st St.on the north and south, and byCottage Grove Ave. and LakeMichigan on the west andeast.These statistics are based oninitial police reports and areunofficial. Kleinbard said,though, that these figures areused as “an informal tally” ofthe amount of crime in the3F03KLEINBARD SAID that thebiggest increases in crimewere in burglaries and rob¬beries. Based on the initial po¬lice reports, he said there wasan increase of over sixty per¬cent in burglaries during thepast seven months, as com¬pared to the same period lastyear. Robberies occurring inthe street increased by overthirty percent, he said.The University officialadded that these large in¬creases may be attributable inpart to changes by the policedepartment in reporting proce¬dures and classification of inci¬dents. These changes were in¬stituted in the past year, hesaid.Kleinbard advised residents(and specifically students) todo the things one ought to do inan urban area. “Don’t leavewindows open despite thewarm weather, he said. “Be PHOTO BY MICHAEL P WEINSTEINJonathan Kleinbard.

The #38 In¬diana service to downtown would berestored (although with fewer busesthan in 1981).The proposed Route 05 as describedin the second CTA plan is also includedin the third plan. The present 01 routewould be eliminated along with theRoute #31 31st St. bus route. Also facingthe ax would be the #35 35th route eastof King Dr. and the #6B Yates/Colfaxbus. In addition, the #51 51st St. busroute would be extended to Hyde Parkto replace the current #1 Indiana/HydePark service on 51st St.After Lafferty explained the propos¬als, the moderator turned the floorover to the public and acknowledgedthe presence of the two aldermen in theaudience. Most of the residents of HydePark spoke either in favor of Proposal3 because of the lengthened hours ofthe Jeffery Express or spoke for thetotal restoration of the pre-1981 #1Drexel/Hyde Park service.One community resident complainedabout the present limited hours of theJeffery Express. She said that HydeParkers often go to the North Side be¬cause “that’s where all the action is.”“These are the deadest streets, youknow that,” she added, referring toHyde Park. “We don’t have hardlyanything here.”MANY OTHER residents expressedsimilar sentiments. Because the lastJeffery bus leaves the loop to HydePark at 10:30 p.m. on weekdays, sever¬al residents said they were forced tocurtail their activities downtown andrush to catch the last bus.Other comments concerned full res¬toration of the original #1 Drexel/HydePark service. The restoration wascited as beneficial to church-going se¬nior citizens and those seeking a directroute to Michael Reese Hospital. Onexisting routes, individuals musttransfer at least once and wait for up to one-half hour. None of the proposalsfully remedy this problem.NONE OF the proposals addressedthe issue of bus driver courtesy (orlack thereof). The loudest applause forcomments by a resident came when awoman told the moderator to set up “agood training class in manners for yourbus drivers...Something should bedone.” Many residents also com¬plained about dirty, overcrowded, andbroken down buses and the lack ofprinted time schedules for bus routes.BLOOM SUMMARIZED the propos¬als at the meeting’s conclusion andsaid he would back anv of them. Heclaimed that all the proposals taken to¬gether would “add (to CTA costs) but athird” of the money saved each yearunder the 1981 economy program.Evans echoed the proposal of a Ken¬wood resident, calling for an additionalpublic hearing in Kenwood. The resi¬dent had earlier complained about thelack of Kenwood representation at themeeting, noting the presence of a largeHyde Park contingent.Hirsch agreed that an additionalmeeting “would be an excellent idea.”Hirsch said the CTA board could prob¬ably schedule such a meeting in lateAugust, as the CTA would not act onany proposals until well after August.Grad studentA UNIVERSITY of Chicago gradu¬ate student was raped on the morningof July 26 at 43rd St. and the lakefront.As of Thursday, no one had been appre¬hended for the attack.At about 10:15 a.m., the student wasjogging near the lake when a manjumped her and forced her into themen’s bathroom of a park districtshed, according to news reports of theincident.Brandishing a “large stone he hadtied up in a deflated inner tube,” theassailant bound the “woman's wrists,Jl SiiimmetA/tqlrbat The University of ChicagoCHICAGO BRASS QUINTETAugust 3 & 4Music by Handel, Bach, Bartok, Scott Joplin,and othersTWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONAAugust 9, 10, 11Shakespeare Festival of ChicagoSASHA DALTONAugust 16 & 18with the Corky McClerkin QuartetRED HOLT UNLIMITED JAZZ QUARTETAugust 17with Beverly Lane, vocalist,and the Holt Brothers Band$5/$3 students and senior citizens8 pm Hutchinson Court5706 S.

August 3, 1984-3VIEWPOINTSPalestinians ask, annexation at what pace?By John P. EganMUCH HAS been said about the re¬cent Israeli elections. We have heardabout the continued drift to the right bythe Israeli electorate, about the rise ofsplinter ideological movements, aboutthe difficulties of forming a stable gov¬ernment, and about the possibility of anational unity government. The onething we haven’t heard about is whatthe election means to West Bank andGaza Palestinians, whose fate will bedirectly affected by Israeli voters.West Bank and Gaza Palestinianshave not had much interest in whichparty forms the next Israeli govern¬ment. To those who say that a Laborgovernment would be more disposed topeace, Palestinians point out that itwas Labor that started implantingJewish settlements in the occupied ter¬ritories, and that it was Labor that pla¬cated right-wing religious settlers bycreating Kiryat Arba, the settlementoutside Hebron. Moreover, the LaborAlignment is committed to a “Jordan¬ian Option,” under which roughly 60percent of the West Bank would be re¬turned to Jordan in exchange for rec¬ognition and peace. Under a Labor gov-ernment, Palestinian nationalaspirations would be bypassed onceagain.While the repression and pace of col¬onization of the occupied territorieshas undoubtedly been acceleratedunder the past seven years of Likudrule, Palestinians assert that theseyears of violence and confiscation havedramatized the true intentions of bothLabor and Likud vis-a-vis the occupiedterritories: that they will never, underany circumstances, be governed byPalestinians. Labor envisions Jordanruling those areas with a heavy Pales¬tinian population while the Israeli gov¬ernment and Jewish settlers retaincontrol over those areas where the Pa¬lestinian population is not so concen¬trated. These latter areas include a“Greater Jerusalem.” which stretchesfrom Bethlehem in the south to Ramal- lah in the north, the Jordan Valley, andthe Gush Etzion area, near Bethlehem.The Likud envisions the complete andpermanent Israeli control of the occu¬pied territories. The Likud’s vision re¬quires a continual, vicious repressionof Palestinians, and possibly a massexpulsion, so as to make the coloniza¬tion of the land that much easier.ROUGHLY 50 percent of the Israelipopulation wants to permanently re¬tain the occupied territories; Israel’s“other half,” frequently portrayed inLabor is no lesscommitted to thenegation of aPalestiniannational identityand Palestiniannationalaspirations thanthe Likud.the US as the “sensitive” and “human¬istic” “soul" of Israel, envisions a va¬riety of futures, ranging from completePalestinian sovereignty in the occu¬pied territories, to complete Jordaniansovereignty, to a shared Jordanian-Israeli sovereignty.For the Palestinians under occupa¬tion, a Labor victory would bring onlytactical and cosmetic changes in theirsituation. Labor is no less committed tothe negation of a Palestinian nationalidentity and Palestinian national aspi¬rations than the Likud. In the recentelection, Labor’s campaign was “No toa return to the 1967 borders. No to theuprooting of settlements. No to negoti¬ations with the PLO.” This is the alter¬native to the expansionism, chauvin-ism, and rejectionism of the Likud? Traditionally, Labor Zionism prag¬matically correlated political goals tomilitary capabilities, while Revision¬ists were more ideological and mili¬tant. Since the 1977 election of theLikud, we have seen the reign of theideologies. The Likud will stake every¬thing on the continued retention of theoccupied territories, arguing that if theJewish state can’t have Nablus and He¬bron, where the ancient Jewish Pro-hets lived, then it has no right to TelAviv or Haifa, where there were noProphets.THE PRAGMATIC Labor Alignmentinitiated a creeping annexation of theoccupied territories starting in 1967;ten years later, the Likud began tospeed up the pace of annexation. Underboth systems, Palestinian rights wereviolated, their lands were seized, andBy Lawrence Lurvey“YOU SURE this is the area,Robin?”“Aye, John, should be right aroundhere.”The duo scattered numerous leavesand branches in their wake.“You look over there beyond thebridge, John.”“Aye, Robin.”“Damn that mapmaker.

Now let’skeep looking.”“On the side, sir, what is it exactlythat we are looking for?” their social institutions were disman¬tled. Palestinians assert that under theLikud, these transgressions againsthuman dignity have become so obviousas to capture the world’s attention: thesiege of Palestinian schools and uni¬versities, house arrest and confine¬ment of journalists and intellectuals,and torture of “security” detaineesand the politically undesirable aresome of the daily manifestations of apolicy which seeks the colonization andcontrol of one group by another.

Theprogram’s purpose is to help providethe blood and blood components re¬quired by Medical Center patients.Donors may choose the four times ofgiving at their convenience. A studentmay want to consider donating onetime during each quarter of the schoolyear.

The reason, I was told, hadto do with the wishes many years agoof a wealthy donor to the University.Apparently, his daughter had commit¬ted suicide at a young age after beingdenied admission into a sorority.Whether this is a myth or not, Icannot say for certain. The story didseem a bit questionable as soon as Iwas informed that the daughter wasIda Noyes. In the main staircase ofthe building of the same name, aquite middle-aged Ida Noyes can bespotted smiling from a lovely, quaintportrait.NOT LETTING University traditionand a morbid myth get in their way, agroup of college students are present¬ly looking into bringing this school itsfirst sorority. This dedicated band ofmythbusters believes that a sororitycould provide an excellent opportuni¬ty for women to participate in moresocial activities.“With all of the attention beinggiven to ways of improving the socialatmosphere on campus,” notedsorority organizer Margie Thomas, asorority could help accomplish thisgoal.“I’m all for thickening the sociallife on campus,” advanced Dean ofStudents in the College HermanSinaiko in answer to a question aboutthe establishment of a sorority here.“If... (the sorority) is done nicelyand well,” he added, “I’m delightedwith” the idea.It may be that Sinaiko is particular¬ly partial to sororities. He revealedthat in the 1920’s, his mother foundedthe Alpha Gamma Pi chapter at theUniversity of Wisconsin and served asthe sorority’s first president.RALPH HAMILTON, an assistant dean of students in the University,also responded with encouragingwords to the inquiries of the sororitypromoters. He told one organizer,“Though there has never been ... (asorority), the idea offers the possibili¬ty for a new and different living ex¬perience for a group of womenstudents.”Even with these encouraging words,there are two large obstacles in theway of starting up a sorority, ac¬cording to Thomas. Obtaining acharter and finding housing in the im¬mediate Hyde Park area will be dif¬ficult for the sorority seekers.“The task at hand is getting a na¬tional sorority to colonize a group onthe U of C campus,” said Thomas.Before an “official” sorority isestablished, the colony must have ap¬proximately twenty-five femalemembers, prove financial stability forat least one year, and have a housingboard of alumnae who would monitorcertain aspects of the sorority.The other major task facing thesorority promoters is housing.“Fraternity row is prime residentialhousing,” stated Paul Petrie, directorof Real Estate Operations. “Thecloser you get to campus, the more itis going to cost you,” he said.He also claimed that adjustmentsmay be required by zoning regula¬tions and fire safety. These ad¬justments can be major expenditureson housing in this area.According to Thomas, the proposedsorority may initially lease a houseand then at some point thereafter, ob¬tain permanent housing close to cam¬pus.Thomas encouraged all those whoare interested in the establishment ofa sorority at the U of C to contact herat Hitchcock Hall during the summerquarter. She said that more informa¬tion on the progress of a sorority oncampus will be made available duringthe fall quarter.

The accuracy of theArchbishop s warning was underscored inMarch of 1980 when he was murderedwhile saying mass after failing to heed anationally televised admonition by Rober¬to D’Aubuisson to change his ways.Mr. Bonner does not seek to substan¬tiate the aforementioned correlation in hisbook. This has been done before. Rather,Mr. Bonner demonstrates that the U S.government, especially the Reagan ad¬ministration, has been very much aware ofthe actions of the recioients of its lar¬gesse. The Reagan Administration hasdone little with this knowledge other thanreclassifying it in an attempt to circum¬vent the Freedom of Information Act(FOIA). It is important for the administra¬tion in the implementation of its policy ofmaintaining political stability at all costs,that evidence of the administrationsknowledge of the atrocities committed byrecipients of U.S. aid be suppressed. Mr.Bonner's FOIA requests were often onlypartially granted, incriminating wordssentences, or pages being censored be¬cause their disclosure would ‘‘threatenU.S. national secutib”.Mr Bonner filled in the blanks by inter¬viewing personnel who handled the docu¬ments. The Reagan administration s de¬sire to keep what it knows out of thepublic domain is not only evident in theafter-the-fact censorship of documents,but it is also the tacit operational policy ofappointed officials Mr. Bonner relatesthat following the particularly brutalslaying of a Green Cross volunteer by theNational Police in July of 82 a cable de¬scribing the event was sent from the U S.Embassy in El Salvador to the State De¬partment. Thomas Enders, the AssistantSecretary of State for Inter-American Af¬fairs, after reading the cable ‘‘...wasfurious — not with the National Police orthe Salvadoran military but with the em¬bassy for having recorded the incident inwriting. Ender’s fear was realized; thecable was leaked to Dan Oberdorfer at theWashington Post.” (July 26, 1982). (Mr.Bonner’s own experiences as a corre¬spondent for the New York Times figureprominently in the book.) The frustratedFOIA requests are reported dispassiona¬tely and the book is much more than an at¬tempt to catch the Administration in a lie.However, the crisis in America (that beingthe denial of information upon which theAmerican people can base their decisions) to the world that a brighter day haddawned in Ei Salvador. The embassy ap¬proached the Christian Democratic Partyand asked them to participate. Theyagreed conditionally, the primary requestwas that the military would answer tothem. Promises were made but not keptand the question whether or not to remainin the junta severely split the party. JoseNapolean Duarte prevailed over the rem¬nants of the party and despite the pleas ofArchbishop Romero not to legitimize therepressive government, he joined thejunta in March of 1980.Bonner tells of Duarte's past as a reformminded engineer greatly influenced by theteachings of the “new church”. His earlypolitical career culminated in his electionto the office of mayor of the capital, SanSalvador. Duarte was responsible formany social reforms and gained wide pop¬ular support. In 1972 he made a run forthe office of president. Early returnsshowed him leading but as the day wenton the reports were silenced and the finalcount showed him losing by a slim margin.It is widely accepted that the 1972 elec¬tions were stolen from Duarte. Following afailed coup attempt by a colonel sympa¬thetic to Duarte, Duarte was arrested,beaten, and forced into exile. Bonner re¬marks that the 1972 election was virtual¬ly ignored by the world press. When ev¬eryone- descended upon El Salvador tocover the 1982 elections Duarte asked(perhaps spitefully) “Where were you tenyears ago?”Mr. Bonner discusses the U.S. sponsoredelections and other tactics used by theReagan Administration m its efforts to le¬gitimize its policy towards Ei Salvador.Among them is the effort to implicate Ni¬caraguans, Cubans, and Russians. Thisploy serves doubles duty in legitimizingthe "covert war” against NicaraguaWeakness and Deceit is a very goodbook with which to start a serious inves¬tigation into the events taking place in ElSalvador The issues are very clearly de¬fined and the facts well documented. Thefutility of the present policy is obvious inlight of the brutal nature of the Salva¬doran military. Stability in Elx Salvadortoday means the continued repression ofthe people. Yet. the ability to suppress in¬formation vital to informed public opinionfacilitates matters tor the present admin¬istration which desires merely to “send amessage to Moscow”.cannot be ignored because it is intimatelyrelated to the crisis of the Salvadoranpeople.The book is arranged thematicallyrather than strictly chronologically. Thefirst part of the book gives a historicalperspective to the events and characterswhich dominate the recent history of ElSalvador. In one chapter the role of theCatholic Church in Salvadoran society isexplored. The Church was at first an in¬strument of the oligarchy, blessing thetroops as they marched off to quiet thepeasants. After Vatican If, Latin AmericanBishops met in Medellin. Colombia to artic¬ulate their desire to become a Church ofthe people. Many began to preach to thepeasants that their hunger and miserywas not the will of God and that Godwould bless their struggle for change. Thisbecame known as the Theology of Libera¬tion and the Church was persecuted se¬verely for its organizing of the people.There are also chapters on the origins ofthe oligarchy and the role the military hasplayed in implementing the will of the oli¬garchy. This history i3 not all inclusive.Ample sources are given for further inqui¬ry. Its main purpose is to identify the char¬acters for the cascade of events followingJuly 19, 1979, the date of the Sandinistavictory in Nicaragua.The second part of the book begins withan explanation of the Salvadoran coup ofOctober 15, 1979. The coup was conceivedof In the early 1970’s in Columbus, Ohio bya young army captain Rene FranciscoGuerra y Guerra and a progressive doc¬tor, Guillermo Quinonez while they werestudying at Ohio State University. Theywere each to recruit similarly minded peo¬ple into their respective military and civil¬ian organizing committees. The coup'smajor obstacle was the fierce loyalty amilitary officer has for his fellow class¬mates from the military academy. This,along with the encouragement of the U.S.embassy, led to the inclusion of probablythe most corrupt military men in El Salva¬dor in the new government. The civilianmembers of the junta wished to bring th£notoriously brutal armed forces under ci¬vilian control. They asked the U.S. to stopmilitary aid to give their role in the neworder some influence. When the U.S. ig¬nored their request, the civilians with¬drew from the junta and formed the politi¬cal party of the revolutionary forces. TheU.S. was in a fix because it had announcedby David FialkowskyFor most of the American public, myselfincluded, El Salvador burst into our con¬sciousness with the murder of four Ameri¬can churchwomen in December of 1980.Raymond Bonner, in his book Weaknessand Deceit: U.S. Policy and El Salvador,points out that for U S. policy makers theawakening occurred in July of 1979, whenthe Sandinistas overthrew the Somozagovernment in Nicaragua. As evidence ofthe pre-79 apathy, he cites the Ford-ap¬pointed Ei Salvadoran ambassador’s re¬mark to a congressional subcommittee inJuly of 1977, "...the United States reallyhas no vital interest in the country.” Also,in March of the same year, the State De¬partment’s chief of the Latin AmericanBureau told the same subcommittee dur¬ing a hearing concerning the 1977 Salva¬doran elections that “The United Stateshas no strategic Iriterest in El Salvador.”Bonner’s selection of 1979 as a turningpoint in U.S.-Salvadoran relations is alsosupported by the dollar figures o4 U.S. mil¬itary assistance prior to and after' 1979.From 1946 to 1979 this aid totalled $16.7million. While for 19ft) alone it was $82million. An equafly sheer hike in “econom¬ic” assistance also occurred in 1980.Through the conduit of CIA sponsoredagencies, such as the American Institutefor Free Labor Development, this “eco¬nomic” assistance often flows to the sameforces of oppression as the military aiddoes. Another statistic jumped in 1979,that being the number of Salvadoran citi¬zens killed by the right-wing deathsquads.The obvious correlation is that U.S. aidbenefits those responsible for the killing.This is not a new revelation. It was fore¬shadowed by the Archbishop of El Salva¬dor in an open tetter to President Carter inresponse to Carter’s iate 1979 announce¬ment of renewed military aid to El Salva¬dor. The Archbishop told Mr. Carter that Inrenewing aid "...your government, in¬stead of favoring greater peace and jus¬tice in El Salvador, will undoubtedly ag¬gravate the repression and injusticeWeakness and Deceit: U.S. Policy andSalvadorRaymond BonnerNew York Times Books 1984 El El SALVADOR: WEBGerald L.

PICTURETHIS YOUATTHELAST GREYCITY BRUNCH5472SHARPERAPT1A SUNDAY1PMMilt Jacksonby William WeaverAs a safely armored cynic, I have beentaught and accustomed to tearing peopleapart to see their inner humanity. In otherwords, all brave fronts of self-sufficiencyrepress true feelings, and can quickly becut down to size. In this conception, JohnWayne’s wide stance, gun, and sneer needpsychoanalytic attacks, but people whoare truly admirable, honest, and funny MILT JACKSON SHARES GROOVE(such as Woody Allen?) lack a certain pre¬sence. It surprised me therefore, to find ahero who met all my requisite require¬ments.We define the traditional hero as ananti-intellectual, someone often driven bytheir will more than their mind. A typicalAmerican hero needs a simple singularityof purpose, and must independently fulfillhis dream — usually by a bloody crusade.Olympic athletes now have their place inthe sun, as their long hours of masochism(i.e. training) reach their fruition. Themyth of the independent American herosometimes contradicts itself: images suchas James Dean dare us to follow his lead,but how can one share ana revere his icon¬oclastic va'ues?Last February was the first time I sawMilt Jackson and his quartet demand theiraudience to share their groove. The peo¬ple in Joe Segal's Jazz Showcase (Milt’sBlackstone Hotel, venue) have a pleasantlack of terminal hipness. Jazz idolotry(‘‘Did you did Lockjaws ‘Misty’ riff atCannes ’59”) exists as a separate jazz cul¬ture, one where personality worship ob¬scures a lot of music. But the Showcase au¬dience generally needs a hard-sell effortto counteract its natural inertia. What“Reverend" Jackson offered was uplift¬ing and impossible not to react to, gettinga rare standing ovation.Jackson knows his star status, and likemost heroes has an unlimited capacity toappreciate his own genius. But one cannotbegrudge his glee, as the product proveshim correct. "Bags” has two trances (dur¬ing and after his aggressive solo work)which perfectly explain his being. Jacksonbends over and attacks the vibraphonewith quick and deadly flourishes, onlypausing to find his rhythm section’s tex¬ture before launching in again. Intermit¬tently, he cocks his head catatonically tothe side, listening intently to the mix ofsounds and rhythms. His cutting concentra¬tion then gives way to a spacey satisifed grin at the end of his riff. As another so¬loist takes flight, Jackson steps back andgives the audience a bemused glare, de¬manding applause. His expressive eye¬brows move into a hooded stare, survey¬ing the obliging prey before him. Thenthey waggle again and his eyes roll backto earth as if to say that he doesn’t under¬stand where he just was and what he didthere.Jackson fuels the group's energy withthese solos, but his main strength lies increating or sustaining a certain groove.His listening abilities allow him to fuse allof his solo work with the overall efforts ofthe group. His improvisations create thebase for more of the same, unlike someego-soloists who ruin their background tobuild up their own stuff. What happensnext is that Ray Brown, the founder of themodern bass style (and a devastating so¬loist), Mickey Roker, a superb rhythmdrummer, and Cedar Walton, an accom¬plished composer/pianist all try to “swingone better” than Milt. Each solo creates aloving parody of the last, having an im¬plied respect for the mood and inventionof its predecessor. The combination of theinspired solos and solid ground work wasastonishing.The group achieved a delicate balancewhere the sensitive ensemble work didnot detract from the solos’ integrity orvice-versa. In comparison, Lionel Hamp¬ton, the other great modern vibes player,achieves the opposite effect. Hamp hasspent most of his career as a showpiece infront of his big band “the All-Stars.” Al¬though big bands create entirely differenteffects than combos, Hampton’s bestpieces are great for their showmanship;ones that showcase his flashy talents andtechnique through their brash speed andnoise. However, his star mentality puts apremium on the spotlight, overwhelming alot of the subtler responses. The quartet,though, stuns its audience with the purity,accessibility, and cleverness of their inter¬ play; in its meeting of equals lies true im¬provisation.One also cannot convey how much funthe group had on stage, and how quicklythat spirit infected the audience. After ahot number at their gig of a couple ofweeks ago, Ray Brown mournfully wavedhis soaking towel around the stage andsaid “you know, I really like playing withthese guys, but they attract a lot of flies."After each cooking song, Brown wouldagain wave the towel in mock surrenderas new pianist Gene Harris (who added ahard gospel edge to the group) nastily imi¬tated Brown’s bass progressions and fa¬cial expressions. This cooking producedsomething sweetly tangible, the grouphad a closeness with each other, theirmusic, and even their audience.Jackson and his group produced one ofthe first visions of a world in which I wouldenjoy living — that of their music. Theyreached out to their disciples through thesheer pleasure of their music and its inven¬tion. When Ray Brown commented that hewanted to take Sunday night’s audiencewith them on the road, visions sprung up inour heads of successive one night musicalorgies in brick-laden smokey bars, full offlies. This enticement faded, but the wiredfeeling the music imparted remained: itwas as if someone had scorched a pleasurenerve until it burned out. The group’s totalcommitment and belief in their music is in¬deed heroic. They can deliver a powerfulforce that changes people: once you get ataste of the world of swing how can youstay on the farm (or something like that)?They do focus in on one thing and theirawareness allows them to invite everyoneto join them in celebrating. Unlike the so-called “messengers of jazz” (not includingArt Blakey), they actually make anotherworld accessible through the force of itspleasure rather than the promise of a cool¬er personal view. In other words, whoneeds to be worldly, affected, and cynicalwhen you’ve got the vibes?INTERNATIONAL PEOPLE'SMUSIC FESTIVALK C MORRIS\Y, AUGUST 3, 1984—THE GREY CITY JOURNALNOT JUST FOR ART'S SAKE DRAWINGS BY CLARENCE JACOBSClarence Jacobs is a Chicago artist living inHyde Park.

In the book, The FourthArt For The Urban School (StewartKranz, Joseph Oeley, Van Nostrand Rein¬hold, 1971) Mr. Jacobs called the work “a de¬monstration of the principle that art can befor life’s sake, not just for art’s sake.” In re¬cent years Mr. Jacobs has been employed asa window trimmer.. ms:.....v. «...- - at”= •••■- • •• • n • 18:by Juanita RocheI went to see Purple Pain with two maleand one female companions. Upon leavingthe theatre, one of the men said, “So, whatshall we do now?” My female friendlooked at me and said, “I know! Let's lie ■ •down and masturbate!” I understood com¬pletely. Yes, those who come to see thisfilm looking for sheer erotic thrills will de¬finitely not be disappointed. But you get awhole lot more The film is (almost) asbeautiful as Prince himself. DonaldThorin’s photography is lovely, and he hasa feel for the composition of a scene thatone does not often find in a popular movie.The direction and editing of Albert Mag-noli show a likewise rare sense of themovie as a form of visual art. But the grea¬test credit is due to Magnoli in his capacityas storyteller. In addition to his above-mentioned duties, he co-wrote the scriptwith William Blinn. The product of his ef¬forts is a movie that is not just entertain¬ing, not just beautiful, but is as well amovie with a message.Are you surprised? This reviewer isn’t.Mv first exposure to Prince came with thealbum Controversy, which clearly, if naive¬ly. voiced his concern with social problems.The album also made clear that he, likemany of us, feft political solutions to be ut¬terly useless, so he advocated a retreatinto the personal, especially the sexual.The title song of the next album, 1999,makes the point clearly. But in Purple RainPrince realizes that he has retreated tothe heart of the battle. The problappear in the outside world as,oppression and meaningless viokif anything more powerfully apparent onthe inside — at home, in bed, and in theself. Purple Rain is a film about the prob¬lem of domination. We first see Prince onstage, dominating his Audience. Fairenough: we describe the best performersas enthralling, overpowering, or, as GeneSiskel put it, “striking.” Then wo see himplaying a little love/power game with thebeautiful woman he’s just met. Well, she's playing right back and trying to dominatehim, so that’s okay. Maybe. Magnoli thentakes us backstage. Wendy, the lead gui¬tarist of the band, has written some songsand put them on tape for Prince's consi¬deration, but he won’t even listen to them.In one of the best performances of the film,she accuses him of being completely selfishand deliberately cruel; he never turns toface her, but stares haughtily at her re¬flection in his mirror. He rides away on hispurple motorcycle, walks into his perfectlyaverage middle-class home, and his fatheris once again beating his mother.In every important scene that follows,the message is encapsulated. The film com¬municates to the viewer the glamour, theundeniable, if horrible, thrill of dominat¬ing the Other; in the next moment, in thetwist of a mouth or a sudden pause, it com¬municates the ugly hollowness of thetriumph, and the pain and fear for whichthe need to dominate is a mask. GraduallyPurple Rain becomes a film about self¬domination, about the difficulty of sur¬mounting the voices in our heads whichtransmit the messages of our culture andour parents: “be a man,” be aggressive,be ambitious, be selfish, be cruel. In themovie, Prince succeeds in coming to termswith his past, himself, and other people —especially women. At the climax of thefilm, he sings Purple Rain. As he strikesthe opening chords on the piano, Wendylooks astounded, and then obviouslyforces back tears — this is the music shewrote. He dedicates the song to his father,whom he has finally learned to understand<»ntl to love. The words are directed at thewvman whose power-playing he has final¬ly outgrown and bring their relationshipto a close: “I never wanted to be yourweekend lover; I only wanted to be somekind of friend. I could never steal you fromanother; it’s such a shame our friendshiphad to end.” And during the song he kissesWendy on the cheek.Sure, tt’s simplistic — but on film Mag-noU’s artistry and the naturalness and ex¬pressiveness of the actors make it a trulymoving moment And, after all, even ifPurple Rain had been poorly made and theacting execrable, the mere fact that itsmakers fried to say something that needsto be said would give it value in my eyes.In fact, this film gives life and power to avery important message, and few thingsrecently have made me happier than thethought that the thousands of people whoare pouring into the theatres to see Prince, *because he’s sexy and because he's cool,will hear it. Maybe they'll even under¬stand.DOMINATION BLUES:PURPLE RAIN FEMINIST NOIRby Rachel SaltzO.K. I admit it. I’m bitter. I'm sick of thisIndiana Jones hoo ha. I want black humor,I want the blues, I want Los Angeles, Iwant women psychologically batteringnervous lanky men on screen. I want AlanRudolph’s Remember My Name.With the recent trend in American mov¬ies being one of high-tech-big-bucks-back-to-childhood entertainments, movies likeRudolph's seem like gifts twice over. Likehis mentor, Robert Altman, from whomhe’s taken more virtues than vices, Ru¬dolph’s sensibilities are for the humanlybizarre rather than for slick productionvalues. Like Altman, he has a discernibledirectorial voice which translates into aconsistent and assured style. In RememberMy Name, his second feature. Rudolph hasfound a voice that is rich and strange.Emily (Geraldine Chaplin) is a just-released convict who tracks down her ex-husband Neil (Tony Perkins) in Los An-^geles. Neil, a carpenter/construction'worker lives in a quiet neighborhood withhis wife Barbara (Berry Berenson). Emilybothers Neil at work and at home. Shepulls up his garden, threatens his wife,and prowls around the house peeking intowindows. She also gets a job at Wool-worth’s from Mr. Nudd (Jeff Goldblum),the son of one of her convict colleagues,whom she tries to intimidate as she doesher co-workers. (Goldblum gets one of thefilm's best lines when he screams at Emilythat she “doesn’t know what it’s like hav¬ing a mother who killed your father.”Well, indeed.)Rudolph himself has said that he wantedto update “the classic woman’s melodra¬mas of the Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyk,Joan Crawford era” and in the process ofupdating he has succeeded in subvertingthe genre. The story of a woman wrongedis also the story of the woman’s revenge.While the 40’s heroines suffered in style,walked into the ocean, or waited patientlyfor their men to return and realize theirmistakes, Emily actively tries to confrontNeil and exorcise her past. Rudolph hasliberated both thematically and literally tthe tough woman of the 40's pictures whohad strength but had to use it in suffering,or manipulating a la Jezebel. Emily’s at¬tempts at this old style manipulation arehilarious. She acts sweet one moment in an"I am helpless” vein and screams andkicks the next to prove she’s not. The rubis that Emily is dangerous in a way that thesob-sister-suffering wasn’t; she’d just assoon stab you with a pencil as shake yourhand.Geraldine Chaplin’s performance is in¬tense, scary, funny, and very unlike theflakes and gamines she has played in Alt¬man films Her mannerisms and lighteningswitches from aggression to business asusual give the film a tension that make itdifficult tc watch at times. She gives a con¬ vincing and strangely touching potrait of asocial outsider and woman in pain. In fact,part of the film's strength is that we sym¬pathize with Emily, although she’s uncom¬promisingly strange (a Spielbergian grem¬lin raised to the nth degree of intensity),and also sympathize with, and like, Neiland his wife. Tony Perkins, as Neil, withthe greatest star legs since Betty Grable.proves himself to be Gothically handsome,amiably tall and my favorite actor; he isall angles and skinny charm.Remember My Name also has a noir side.Emily’s alienation and paranoia, and thesurreal quality of the ordinary urban land¬scape suggests the kind of social surreal¬ism that is noir territory. Similarly theparanoid fear and psychological tensionthat the audience suffers is the kind thatnoir evokes so well. Again Rudolph hasadded a twist however. Film noir like theWestern, was where men were men (tough)and women were in the shadows. With Re¬member My Name the gig is up, the girlsare in and we get the strangest of bedfel¬lows: feminist noir.Alberta Hunter's blues score effectivelyunderscores the film's weird humor andtough attitudes. The songs (each one asgood as Tony Perkins), are funny andknowing, sad and bouncy. They keep theatmosphere light, relieving some of thetension that Chaplin has generated.In any lesser movie all these disparateelements would add up to an overwroughtcombination of styles and attitudes but Re¬member My Name doesn’t look like a grabbag of cinematic quotes and fashionablehomages. Rudolph manages to combine ev¬erything to make a style of his own that isconsistent and original. Remember MyName is a pleasure but it's so strange thatyou may not know how funny and good it isuntil two weeks after you’ve left the the¬ater.Geialdine v_napnn in Remember My NameTHE GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY.
