Dean O’Con-By Karen E. AndersonThe Graduate Affairs Com¬mittee of the Student Govern¬ment Assembly is currentlydistributing a survey to allmarried students who areregistered and on campus.Results from the survey willbe used to determine howmany students at the Univer¬sity are raising children, andwhether there is a need for aUniversity sponsored child¬care program.According to John Bots-charow, chairman of thegraduate affairs committee,married students who re¬spond to this survey willserve as the basis for a sec¬ond survey dealing specifical¬ly with the issue of a Universi¬ty day-care program.However, he encourages allmarried students to returnthe initial survey, since thecommittee plans to deal withother concerns relevant tomarried students.Chris Hill, a third year stu¬dent in the College and Presi¬dent of Student Government,said Jesuits of the first surveyshould be tabulated by theearly part of next quarter. nell will make a recommen¬dation to Hanna Gray whowill then present the suggest¬ed fee increase to the trust¬ees.If the increase is approved,it will go into effect in thespring. However, StudentGovernment has not yet re¬solved whether it can acceptthe money so raised if stu¬dents disapprove of the fee in¬crease because its constitu¬tion mandates that it musthold and abide by a referen¬dum on all fee hikes.Therefore, according toRick Szesny, chairman of theHill stressed that student vol¬unteers are needed to helpwith all aspects of the survey,from compiling results todoing independent research.“We need a lot of people forthis; it’s important that we doa bang-up job.” Hill said stu¬dents who are interested inassisting should call StudentGovernment at 962-9732 toleave their name andnumber.Hill said that a group ofgraduate students broughtthe question of starting a Uni¬versity sponsored child-careprogram to the attention ofStudent Government late lastyear. He said that, althoughthere is no actual data con¬firming it, complaints wouldindicate that adequate day¬care in Hyde Park is both ex¬pensive and hard to find.Listing current options forchild-care in Hyde Park. Hillstated that students use pri¬vate centers, private babysit¬ters, or care for their childrenat home. He said he felt a lackof University day-care facili¬ties may be hurting the Uni¬versity of Chicago. “We’re incompetition with other top By Ravi RajmaneWhile there is no substan¬tive opposition among Collegestudents and administratorsalike to the increase in theStudent Activities Fee. somestudents are not satisfied withDean O’Connell’s proposalexecuting this change. More¬over, students feel they havenot been adequately can¬vassed by the Administrationon this issue, and consequent¬ly feel their voice has very lit¬tle significance in such deci¬sion making.College administratorshave been highly supportiveof O’Connell’s proposal. Her¬man Sinaiko, Dean of Stu¬dents in the College, arguedthat the increase is not un¬warranted. “While our fee isonly $15 per year, it is muchhigher at other schools, some¬times as much as $50-$100 peryear.” Sinaiko also said thathe does not believe “a S5 in¬crease would be a severe bur¬den for most students.”Irene Conley, Director ofStudent Activities and aformer overseer of the MajorActivities Board (MAB), ap¬plauded the proposal, sayingthat “Both MAB and the Stu¬dent Government FinanceCommittee (SGFC), as wellas new groups that would beStudent Government FinanceCommittee, (SGFC), SG maybe technically bound to put allmoney from the increase onhold until the SG constitutionis revised to permit SGFC tospend the money. Szesnyclaims that details of the feehave not been sufficientlyworked out, but Chris Hill,president of Student Govern¬ment, said that the clauseabout referendums is “a legalfiction in our constitution thatwill have to be changed,” buthe said that SG has no powerto stop the fee increase frombeing put into effect.schools for the best students.Maybe a student with chil¬dren would pick a place likeHarvard, which offers somechild-care, over the Universi¬ty of Chicago, which current¬ly sponsors none.”Hill said one proposal callsfor setting up a non-profit daycare center as a corporation.He cited legal ramificationsas the main problem behindsetting up any child-care fa¬cility, since there are manyregulations which must befollowed in starting and main¬taining a day-care center.“We’re just waiting for theresults of the survey to con¬firm whether there is a needfor University child-care,”said Hill. “If we find there is,I think it would be the respon¬sibility of the University tobecome involved.” A studywas done on the need forchild- care at the Universityfor the University of ChicagoRecord back in 1970.

Chris Hill, Presidentof Student Government,claimed that “the averagestudent will get more for hismoney with this ten dollarsthan with any other fee im¬posed by the University.” Hillparticularly favors reallocat¬ing a portion of the fee to eachcontributing division. Hillsaid that this will relievesome of the burden in SGFCin financing activities spon¬sored by University groups.Hill also added that the Fi¬nance Committee, as a majorbenefactor of the increase,would probably have to makea few necessary changes. “Inthe wake of this change, wewill, of course, have to re-ex¬amine the philosophy of the fi¬nance committee. That is. wewill have to determinewhether we will finance orga¬nizations consisting only ofstudents from a particular di¬vision.” Hill explained, ad¬ding that. “We would preferto fund groups with member¬ships that cut across theMany graduate studentshave said they are againstdoubling the fee because theydo not currently get theirshare of the current $5 feeback. Furthermore, becausegraduate students are usuallyhere year-round they end uppaying most of the summeractivities fee.In fact, law students don’treceive funding from the Stu¬dent Government FinanceCommittee, but several medi¬cal school groups receivefunding including the Ameri¬can Medical Students. Lawschool activities are fundedthrough other sources. Twogroups in the businessschool— the Asian BusinessStudent Association and theannual Career Conference—receive funding.While they said that stu¬dents in their divisions weregenerally against the fee. thedeans of students in the busi¬ness school and medicalschool said they take no posi¬tion on the fee. Jim Lewis,dean of students in the Divin¬ity School said that studentsin his school generally sup¬ported the fee and had hadcontinued on page three campus community.”Although Hill is highly sup¬portive of the proposal, andmembers of MAB welcomethe increase of funds whichwould enable them to drawprominent entertainers tocampus, support for O’Con¬nell’s fee increase is not uni¬versal. Rick Szesny chairmanof SGFC said. “I see nothingbut problems arising from thesecond part of the proposal.There hasn’t even been dis¬cussion yet on whose going todecide what group gets themoney.”Szesny adopts a take-it-or-leave-it attitude to the fee. Al¬though there is increasedpressure on SGFC in the formof groups asking for moremoney this fall. Szesny saidSGFC can get by if it has to onthe current $7*2.000. "I canlive with the fee the way itis.” Szesny said, adding “Myconcern is whether the Asse¬mbly can live with SGFC de¬cisions made with the limitedfunding available.”"Students aren't interestedin discussing the fee in¬crease. ” Szesny said of the la-cadaisical student reaction tothe increase. Hill added that,“A lot of the opposition to thefee is not well informed.”But despite widespreadsupport for increasing the feeand general support for partsof O’Connell’s proposal in theCollege, some students be¬lieve that they were not ade¬quately consulted in the dis¬cussion of the fee. Studentshave been further disenchant¬ed upon learning that O’Con¬nell planned to recommendadoption of this resolution toHanna Gray and the trusteesprior to the University refer¬endum scheduled for tenthweek. O’Connell has sincepostponed making any rec¬ommendations until nextquarter.“The administration seemsto have ram-rodded thisissue,” said a College studentwho asked not to be identi¬fied. “Granted O’Connell hashad discourse with severalstudent organizations, butthese groups are not trulyrepresentative of the studentbody,” continued the stu¬dent.“Given the nature of thestudents to concentrate solelyon their studies and to insu¬late themselves from othermatters, the administrationhas to be extremely agressivein gauging student feeling.”added the studentConley, however, contendsthat “only with the fartheststretch of the imaginationcould anyone actually believecontinued on page threeINSIDEBasketball doubleheader at HCFH tonightpage 15Frankie sinks the BismarckGCJ coverSG begins U of C day care studymobpre/ent/Saturdaydee.

Commenting on O’Connell’splan to hand in his recommendation be¬fore the referendum, Conley noted thatthe referendum was scheduled by SG,not by O’Connell. She added that ‘‘deci¬sions of independent, autonomous stu¬dent organizations like SG” are not theconcern of administrators.Still, one College administrator whodoes favor the referendum is Dean ofthe College Donald Levine. Levineagreed that there has been limited stu¬dent input thus far on the fee increase.‘‘The only way you get around that is tohave a referendum on it,” he said.However, he said that although therehas not been much widespread discus¬sion of the issue, “People have under¬stood that full participation of the com¬munity is not possible once it reaches acertain size.”Student Government, however,seems to be unable to answer for thedelinquent dating of the referendum,according to Hitchcock-Snell represen¬tative Joe Barnosky. He said, “StudentGovernment had failed miserably inhandling the discussions on the fee.”Barnosky absolves O’Connell fromfault, saying that “the dean has givenReferendumcontinued from page one“ample opportunity to express theiropinions or get information.”Dean of Students in the University,Charles O’Connell proposed last springthat the fee be increased from $5 to $10.He put forth a six-part proposal whichRalph Hamilton, Assistant Dean of Stu¬dents in the University called “tenta¬tive” at that time. Hamilton stressedlast spring that further details wouldbe worked out over the summer.O’Connell has modified the originalproposal be recommending, instead ofmandating, that SGFC and MAB havegraduate representation.Students debated the second part ofthe proposal which calls for 25 percentof the fee to be distributed to the divi¬sions it originates from. Students sup¬porting the second part says it willopen up funding to a wider spectrum ofstudent groups including some whichdo not now receive funding becausethey are academic or serve alcohol aspart of their activity. Students oppos¬ing the second part say it will be diffi¬cult to distribute money through a de¬centralized system whereby eachdivision has a group to decide how themoney will be spent. Students opposedwere also concerned that if this moneywent to groups only in two specificareas, this separation would divide theUniversity by discouraging interdivi- this a great deal of thought and is nottrying to push anything odious on thestudent body.“The date set for O’Connell’s deci¬sion was carved in stone quite a longtime ago,” continued Barnosky. Heclaimed that Student Governmentfailed to set a timely date for the refer¬endum because of in fighting in the As¬sembly. “The Assembly has failed inits main function as an organizedforum to express student concerns.”Finally, student 'apathy seems tohave exacerbated student disaffectionwith the Administration and StudentGovernment. In an informal survey ofstudents in the College, the Maroonfound that students were aware of theincrease but were generally unclear onthe specifics and consequences ofO’Connell’s proposal.“If the fee increase will enhance so¬cial life, I am all for it” said one re¬spondent; “But discussion on the in¬crease seems so insignificant when youtake into account the tuition increaseeach year,” the student said.Claiming that this lack of apathy andconsequent lashing out was charac¬teristic of an “anemic, highly frag¬mented student body,” Dean Sinaikosaid that students feel that they are notoeing consulted by the University be¬cause they do not have a cohesive com¬munity which is capable of raising aunified voice.“The only way to tackle this problemis to enhance the sense of student com¬munity in the University,” said Sinai¬ko. “I believe that increasing the Stu¬dent Activities Fee will provide aricher mix of student activities whichwill give us a more outgoing, more in¬volved student body.”sional mixing. O’Connell contends thatthat will be avoided because SGFC w illexist to fund those groups with a mix ofgraduates and undergraduates, or withstudents from more than one division.Many students say they have heardabout the proposed increase but only ahandful showed up at a Student Gov¬ernment meeting held second week atwhich O’Connell answered questionson the fee increase. However, RickSzesnv, SGFC chair claimed. “There’snot even been discussion yet.” particu¬larly of who will decide the makeup ofeach school’s committee and howmuch power these groups will have.Szesny also questioned how muchleeway the groups will have in decidinghow to spend money and who will arbi¬trate disagreements over how thegroups spend the money, as well aswho will keep track of how' the moneyis spent.Dean O’Connell said that while sev¬eral deans were initially were againstraising the fee. they generally support¬ed it after he answered their concerns.O’Connell made a brief presentation onthe fee to the deans, but did not ask fortheir support.Graduate students in the SG Asse¬mbly have opposed the increase butfew other students have spoken againstit. Chris Hill, president of Student Gov¬ernment said of the lack of response. “Ithink that’s just a reflection of the factthat a lot of people here don’t have timeto concern themselves with the fee.” Dean O’ConneH’soriginal proposal forraising the FeeThis was Dean of Students in the University Charles O’Connell’s originalproposal to increase the Student Activities Fee. When he unveiled it last May,he set aside the remaining few weeks of the spring quarter, the summer and afew weeks of the Fall Quarter for discussion of the proposal. He planned tomake a decision mid-fall on whether he would recommend to Hanna Grayand the trustees that the fee would be increased. He had decided to delaymaking that recommendation until Winter Quarter.1. The present Student Activities Fee should be increased. The reasons ad¬vanced include the need to make up for the decline in real buying power in thefour years since the present fee was instituted, the ever-expanding studentinterest in creating new organizations and activities, and the demand forgreater resources. It has been proposed that the fee be increased from $5 aquarter to $10 a quarter. I support that recommendation.2. Some proportion of the increase should be returned directly to studentgroups in the various major academic areas: the College, the Divisions andSchools. The reasons advanced include the desireability of engenderingstronger Divisional and School student organizations and activities, the needfor a funding mechanism that will encourage social contacts between Divi¬sions and Schools, and the need for graduate students to feel that they havesome direct control over a portion of the funds that they have contributed forthe general improvement of campus student life. I recommend that 25% or$2.50 of the $10 quaterly fee be returned to student councils in the originatingunits.3. A fixed percentage of graduate student representation on the Major Ac¬tivities Board and the Student Government Finance Committee should bemandated (urged) by their respective constitutions. To do so will insure grad¬uate/professional school student participation. Graduate and professionalschool students are already represented on both bodies. This proposal wouldsimply codify present practice.4. SGFC should specify in greater detail its current guidelines for grantingfunds to student organizations. With a portion of the proposed quarterly feereverting to the “parent” bodies from which it came. SGFC may indeed wishto review'its funding guidelines to re-emphasize programs and organizationsthat cut across academic boundaries.5. The Major Activities Board, through surveys and quarterly reports to thestudent body, should renew its commitment to bring to campus major enter¬tainments with broad appeal.6. The Student Activities Fee should be indexed to increase at a rate rough¬ly consistent with inflation. The exact increase would be determined by theDean of Students according to practical considerations such as billing pro¬cedures and the need to avoid insignificant increases of less than a dollar.SGFC report through sev¬enth week this fall:Requests: $76,482Grants: $25,692Loans: $13,586SGFC report through sev¬enth week last fall:Requests: $62,000Grants: $17,500Loans: $ 7,960Thus far this year there hasbeen approximately a:23% increase in money request¬ed48% increase in money granted 70% increase in loans grantedCurrent Student ActivitiesFee split:60% for SGFC $72,00040% for MAB $48,000Planned Fee split with theincrease and redistribu¬tion:45% for SGFC $108,00030% for MAB $72,00025% for school/divisionof origin $60,000total amount of money raisedwith increase: $240,000SGFC reports from SGFC ChairRick SzesnyDean O’Connell clarifies the Fee: Q and AWho proposed the redistribution andincrease in the fee?The proposal is an outcome of dis¬cussions and proposals over a two-yearperiod from Student Government,FSACCSL, SGFC, a student subcom¬mittee of the Alumni Cabinet, a sub¬committee of the President’s StudentAdvisory Committee, the Major Activi¬ties Board, and—in a somewhat dif¬ferent context—the House ActivitiesResource Council. In different ways,all these groups were addressing thecentral question of how to improve thequality of student life on campus.Why is an increase needed?Without an increase, we would not beable to maintain our current programof activities, much less improve it. Thefee has not increased in four years de¬spite a rise in entertainment costs of50% and the need for greater resourcesto meet the growing student interest increating and expanding organizationsand activities. For instance, severalyears ago we had only two student the¬ atrical groups whereas we now havesix. In addition, it has become evidentthat some new structure and additionalresources are needed to foster cohesionand activity in many of the graduatedivisions and some of the schools.What does the fee do, anyway?Through the Student Government Fi¬nance Committee, the fee supportsover 60 student groups, such asWHPK; Student Government, its cof¬fee shop (Ex Libris) and its commit¬tees; theatrical groups (Blackfriars,Concrete Gothic, Basic Theater); ser¬vice-oriented groups (STEP tutoring,Hunger concern); language and ethnicgroups (Les Beaux Parleurs, Polish-American Student Union, Chinese Stu¬dent Association, Organization ofBlack Students); social/supportgroups (W’omen’s Union, etc); and awide variety of special projects, suchas the Festival of the Arts and Autum-nerk.The fee also supports the Major Ac¬tivities Board, a group of graduate, professional and undergraduate stu¬dents responsible for bringing majorentertainment acts to campus.The goal of the activity fee is to gen¬erate a broad web of social, culturaland entertainment activities which willbenefit our entire community. Theseactivities give students a chance tomake friends, to cultivate broad inter¬ests, and. sometimes, to just relax.They create a lively and positive atmo¬sphere which offer a release from theUniversity’s very strenuous academicdemands.What is the purpose of the proposal toredistribute the funds in a differentway from the present?To acknowledge, and even encour¬age. the pockets of diversity which nat¬urally form within the various Schooland Divisions, while at the same timeto maintain a structure which worksacross academic area boundaries toencourage discourse, social interactionand community on an all-Universitylevel. How will the redistribution work?Each academic area—the College,the four Divisions and the six Schools—will receive 50% of the increase,amounting to $2.50 for each registeredstudent in its area. A student commit¬tee or council in each area will be re¬sponsible for allocating these funds.For instance, if the students in the Col¬lege want a yearbook or a College liter¬ary magazine, they can apply for fund¬ing to the College student council. Or ifa group of students in one of the profes¬sional Schools needs funding to orga¬nize a career conference or a journal,the area student council would beavailable to help. In addition, area stu¬dent councils could sponsor jointevents such as a “Malpractice Party”for Law and Medical students, or a con¬ference on social policy sponsored bySSA. the Divinity School and the Com¬mittee on Public Policy Studies. Inshort, this portion of the new fee couldbe used in a wide variety of ways, butits use will be determined by the imagi¬nation, interests, age, values, and pref¬erences of the students within eacharea.The Chicago Maroon—Tuesday, November 27. 1984—3Apology to Jeff SmithOn Friday, November 16, the Maroon printed a letter to the editor,written by Michele White in response to an article by Jeff Smith con¬cerning the News Election Service. Ms. White’s letter contains severalallegations regarding Mr. Smith’s character, motives, and personalcareer history, allegations which obviously are not established facts,and which could only be proven in a court of law.Smith regularly submits articles of commentary on topics of his ownchoosing. He was asked to do this by the Maroon, which was aware ofhis background and which takes responsibility for the format and thepresentation of the material. The Maroon entered into this agreementbased on its confidence in Smith’s record as a student and as a journal¬ist.The Maroon staff was neglectful in its handling of White’s letter. Weoffer our apologies to Smith, who was offered no opportunity to respondto the letter’s allegations prior to its publication.Letter writers are reminded that responses to any matter of sub¬stance raised in our articles are always welcome, but pointless person¬al attacks and unsubstantiated charges against writers or editors willin the future be handled with greater discretion.Editorial policyThe University of Chicago is obviously not your typical college, andreflective of the school, the Maroon is not your typical college newspa¬per. Although the Maroon relies on the efforts of student reporterswhose first priority is academics, and not the establishment of a suc¬cessful journalism portfolio, the Maroon need not be a bad newspa¬per.The viewpoints section is dependent on student contributions for itsquality and content. It is designed to be a lively, controversial sectionfilled with student views on campus life and problems, world affairs,and life in general. In the past, it seems that students have failed toappreciate the use of this section. Many students have used the space topublish what appear to be their political science theses, an apparentself-aggrandizement of competent, interesting, yet usually unreadwork. Commentary on letters published in the Maroon is another over¬worked use of viewpoint articles. This section is meant to be a forum forstudent opinions that will interest the readers and often challenge themto respond. That is, viewpoints are meant to provoke discussion, but notoverdrawn, endless back-and-forth mudslinging.The Maroon continues to reserve the right to edit all submitted mate¬rial for clarity, content, and sanity, but in the past has been hesitant touse that right due to a lack of publishable material. The shortage maystem from a lack of awareness of how simple it is to submit material.Simply submit a typed copy of whatever you wish to speak out about tothe Maroon offices on third floor of Ida Noyes. Having your name inprint can be exhilerating, and give you something to look forward to inthe next issue of the Maroon.United Way needs your helpIf it is possible to remember that we are part of a community and partof a city, now is the time to remember it. The University is supportingthe United Way/Crusade of Mercy drive running from October 22 to De¬cember 31, and they are asking University employees to give to thiscause. The employees are told that United Way funds over 360 programsin the Chicago area that provide two million of residents with assistancein every form from child care and health services to drug abuse centersto hot meals for the elderly. They are told that 92c of every dollar thatUnited Way receives makes its way to someone who needs it. And theyare giving. University employees are halfway to a $125,000 goal; moreare giving than gave in previous years.The University’s Office of Financial Affairs is coordinating the drive,but it is being cautious. Geoff Cox, the assistant to vice president of Fi¬nancial Affairs A1 Sharp, explained that there isn’t supposed to be evena hint of coercion, so his office is mostly publicizing the campaign andhelping collect the money. It apparently didn’t cross their minds to ap¬peal to students. Nor should it have.Students wouldn’t give. Probably in part this is due to their being intransition. They often regard Hyde Park as a sheltered womb in whichto bask in academia. It is a land where there are no seasons, onlyquarters. Students will eventually become adults in one form or an¬other, but the part of an adult that takes on social responsibility isn’tgoing to grow at college. We still expect our parents to take care of thosethings for us. This fall’s Student Volunteerism Week attracted no stu¬dents at all.The Chicago MaroonThe Chicago Maroon is the official student newspaper of the University of Chicago.It is published twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Fridays. The offices of the Maroon arein Ida Noyes Hall, rooms 303 and 304, 1212 E. 59th St., Chicago, Illinois, 60637 Phone962-9555.Frank LubyEditor in chiefMichael ElliottNews EditorDavid LanchnerNews EditorFrank ConnollyAssociate News EditorRobert BarlingViewpoints Editor Dennis ChanskySports EditorJulie WeissmanFeatures EditorThomas CoxAssociate EditorAlexandra ConroyAssociate EditorPhil PollardPhotography Editor Craig FarberCopy EditorWally DabrowskiProduction ManagerBruce KingGrey City Journal EditorLisa CypraAdvertising ManagerTina EllerbeeBusiness Manager Jaimie WeihrichOffice ManagerLeslie RigbyChicago Literary Review EditorDavid SullivanChicago Literary Review EditorStaff: Karen E.

It would appear that the Administration has an accurate picture of thestudent body, but there is one small consolation. We can always provethem wrong.Checks for the United Way/Crusade of Mercy should be given to theBursar’s Office before December 31st.

We said at that time that the increasewould help student life by making more money available to spend onstudent activities. We now reinforce the importance of any move to im¬prove social live at the U of C. We therefore reiterate support for thefirst part of Dean O’Connell’s proposal to double the fee.However, we hope that the details of the second part of the plan whichcalls for 25% of the fee to be distributed to divisions will be thoughtthrough soon. Last May, we said in our editorial that “Administratorsshould most importantly be open to change and be ready to further dis¬cuss the value of dividing the funding between the College and graduatesectors.” (Maroon, 5/25/84) However, that nuts-and-bolts planning ofwho will receive the money, how they will spend it, who will arbitratedisagreements and who will record the spending is more extensive thanlittle details make it sound.The most beneficial part of this part of the proposal would be if morestudents really did see the fee serving them through activities not cur¬rently held or not funded by SFGC. Furthermore, the argument makessense that students in each division will be most sensitive to the needs oftheir own area. However, if deans of the divisions have final arbitrationpower over how the money will be spent and what students will sit oneach board, then the likelihood is small that the average, busy, less-that-social U of C student, will want to serve on this committee or takethe time to notice that there really are more activities to chose from.Dean O’Connell has repeatedly stressed that the deans will not touchthe money and that “a group always forms when there’s money tospend.” If that’s true, then let’s see some formal structure to help thesedean-less groups spend their money. This plan should be decided beforethe proposal ever goes to the trustees.Aside from these first two major changes in the fee, the final fourparts of the Student Activities include: 3) graduate student representa¬tion urged on SGFC and MAB, 4) SFGC should “further spell out” itsfunding guidelines, 5) MAB should “renew its commitment” to bringingdiverse major entertainment to campus, and 6) the fee should increaseregularly at a rate indexed to inflation.These points are less important and 4-6 have been less debated thanthe first two parts of the increase proposal. Still, the only major changebetween last spring’s proposal and today’s is that “mandated” waschanged to “recommended” on part three. It therefore seems like theoriginally planned discussion of the proposal of the fee hasn't happened,whether it is the students’ or administration’s fault.Instead, while Director of Student Activities Irene Conley said lastspring that discussion would happen over the summer, students and ad¬ministration can’t really discuss the issues brought up by the fee (likewhether each of these committees will be a tiny SFGC complete withbylaws and an assembly to approve funding decisions) with an openmind. They have rather become “overwhelmed by the bureaucracy,” ofjust getting the fee approved.Crerar is notuser friendlyTo the editor:Recently there was a ceremony inau¬gurating The arrival of the John CrerarLibrary at the University of Chicago.This acquisition was promoted as amuch-needed improvement for schol¬arly research at the University. Noth¬ing could be further from the truth.From the perspective of many geophy¬sical science graduate students who re¬gularly conduct research requiring useof scores of periodical volumes, the pe¬riodical access policy at Crerar hasbeen an unmitigated disaster. The ar¬rival of the Crerar Library has func¬tionally resulted in a total restriction ofextralibrary access to scientific peri¬odicals. Consider the following points:•The stated policy of the Crerar isto not allow any extralibrary circu¬lation of journals. Period. For ex¬ample, it is impossible for a gradu¬ate student interested in Triassicinsects to check out a 1917 volume ofthe Proceedings of the Linnean Soci¬ety of New South Wales. (For the ob¬vious reason that hordes of studentswould immediately demand its re¬turn.)•In lieu of point 1, one may con¬sider placing a note conspicuouslyon a desk or carol containing libraryperiodicals currently in use. Suchnotes are obligingly honored for afew days, and then volumes are au¬tomatically reshelved. Imaginespending hours or days tracing peri¬odical volumes for an important re¬search paper, only to find them goneone fine morning.•The turn-around time for re¬shelving books is around one week.(How many times have you had thepleasure of recognizing the same pc riodicals on the same carts, dayafter day?)•The price for Xeroxing has beenraised 30 percent for the cheapestper-page copycard. For the $50 co-pycard, the former 5 cents per pagehas been replaced by 6.7 cents perpage. The $1 copycard is 7.4 centsper page.•Some of the older periodical vol¬umes at Crerar have never beenchecked out, and many show pageedges that are still folded anduncut.The effect of Crerar policy for accessto periodicals is as follows. One cannotcheck out periodicals for use outsidethe library, but also one cannot use pe¬riodicals for more than a few days at atime. If one places a volume on the re¬shelving area, it is effectively “lost”for a week. Consider, for example, aresearch paper that eventually re¬quires use of thirty-five articles fromvarious periodicals. There are threeoptions.•Hit up your rich uncle (if youhave one) for a University of Chica¬go Xerox slush fund.

A sanersystem would allow outside access toall periodicals, except for those in highdemand or those issued within the last15 years.If the price for the addition of a fewhundreds of thousands of volumes tothe University library system is the de¬nial of extralibrary access to scienceperiodicals, then University re¬searchers would assuredly be betteroff if the Crerar Library remained atthe Illinois Institute of Technology. Atleast with the old Regenstein system,most periodical volumes were avail¬able for outside access. Volumes una¬vailable at Regenstein were borrowedfrom other institutions by a most com¬petent interlibrary loan staff.

LabandeiraLiteracy programTo the editor:The administration and students ofthe University of Chicago are to becommended for their demonstrated in¬terest in the City Colleges of ChicagoLiteracy Project. The Chicago Litera¬cy Project was established in recogni¬tion of the fact that 600,000 adults residein Chicago are considered functionallyilliterate. That is, these adults are notable to function academically at thefifth grade level.The second reason for the establish¬ment of the Literacy Project is to bringtogether all available resources to at¬tack this pervasive and devastatingproblem. Our meetings with Ms. JoanSpoerl, Chairperson of the Student Gov¬ ernment Community Relations Com¬mittee, University of Chicago LiteraryProject and Ms. Judith Gershon, Co-Chairman of the University of ChicagoLiteracy Project, demonstrated thatthey are concerned, dedicated and in¬terested in working with the City Col¬leges in this important undertaking.University administrators Ms. IreneConley, Director of Student Activitiesand Mr. Larry Hawkins, Director of theOffice of Special Services, deservemuch credit for their interest, encour¬agement and support with respect tothe involvement of University studentsas volunteer tutors in the LiteracyProject.The New York Times of April 24, 1977read, “Illiteracy of Adults Called U.S.Disease.” National statistics supportthis contention. There is .io question re¬garding the value of functionally liter¬ate adults. Literacy enhances employ¬ment and educational opportunities,parenthood, it results in better models,better consumers, more independenceand it enhances self-actualization. Theadvantages to University students whoserve as volunteer tutors in literacyclasses are obvious to all.Students who participate in literacyclasses will have many options. Classesmeet from four to 16 hours per week,every day of the week except Sundayand in numerous locations throughoutthe city; however, we would hope thatstudent volunteers would serve a min¬imum of two hours per week.Students who elect to participate inthis program will be given a short pre¬service orientation training programwhich could be conducted on the Uni¬versity of Chicago campus.The problem of significantly reduc¬ing the number of non-literate adults inChicago will not be accomplished byany single individual or institution.However, an appreciable change canbe realized if a variety of organizationsand individuals work collectively to at¬tack this problem. It is for this reasonthat I invite each student to seriouslyconsider becoming associated wth theCity Colleges of Chicago as it makes aserious effort to fulfill one of its man¬dates — that of serving adults who forany reason, failed to achieve a level offunctional literacy. Please contact either Ms. JoanSpoerl or Ms. Judith Gershon to ex¬press your willingness to serve in a vol¬unteer capacity in the Literacy Proj¬ect. Remember, your contribution ismost important and will be very muchappreciated.Finally, please know that the classi¬fied ad relative to illiteracy in Chicagowhich appeared in the “People WantedColumn” of the November 2, 1984 Chi¬cago Maroon was thoughtful and verymuch appreciated.Sincerely,Peyton S. Hutchinson, Ph D.Executive DirectorLiteracy ProjectMore on moralityTo the editor:Regarding Lee Sorenson’s response(20 Nov) to Mark Watson’s remark (13Nov) in the Maroon’s Letters column.Sorenson asserts that the Constitu¬tion does not mean that the moralitywith the highest votes will win. Howev¬er, he fails to inform us of the propermeaning. It will not do to assume that itis self-evident, for we would not other¬wise have such controversies concern¬ing it.Does he mean that morality is not aproper subject for legislation? Does hemean that civil rights and armed rob¬bery are not matters of morality? Doesthe association of a particular viewwith a religious stance automaticallydisqualify it from consideration on itsown merits? Does Sorenson suggeststhat we legislate on the basis of self-in¬terest, since any other basis would callon some moralistic rationale?We should remember that thephrases so freely flung about in this de¬bate. “morality” and “the separationof church and state”, are to be foundnowhere in the Constitution. What wedo find is the injunction that Congressmake no law regarding the establish¬ment of religion. This was a negativeinjunction reacting to the specific situ¬ation where specific taxes were leviedto support certain churches, such asthe Episcopal Church in Virginia andthe Congregational Church in Massa¬chusetts. To suggest that the Founding Fa¬thers meant to either support or opposeprayer in public schools has no founda¬tion, as public schools did not exist andwere not conceived of in the 18th centu¬ry.We cannot disentangle morality fromlegislation, just as we cannot assumethat something is not religious simplybecause it does not wear the label oreven explicity denies that label. TheFounding Fathers recognized that theirideas on government rested on a moralfoundation when they declared that ourrights were unalienable because theywere given by God. The Supreme Courtrecognized religion that did not claimthat label when it ruled that conscien¬tious objectors need not be members ofcertain recognized religious bodies.What I believe the Founding Fathersmeant is that there is a certain basicmorality, or set of values, which is ac¬ceded to by society through enshrine¬ment in the Constitution and imple¬mented in federal statutes. They alsomeant that there were other values, noless deeply felt or valued, on which peo¬ple differed, and which could bevariously held and practiced withoutdetriment to the basic values.Two centuries have passed, and oursociety has been buffered by manychanges. There is no longer the originalconsensus on what this country’s fun¬damental morality is. I detect an asym¬metry of logic when Pro-Choicers.after fighting so long to get it approved,proclaim that the issue has been decid¬ed. Unlike a football championship, theobjective morality of an action does notchange over time, whether or not its le¬gality has. Until a consensus is re¬gained. the abortion issue will remain alegitimate subject of political passion.Finally, I'd like to take off fromSorenson’s comment on prayer as anaccouterment. My dictionary definesaccouterments as a) clothes or dressand b; soldier’s equipment exceptclothes and weapons. He should not solightly dismiss the importance ofprayer to other people. Unfortunately,there are those who treat anythingavowedly religious as if it were lepro¬sy.

On the other hand, Ioppose the attitude which would reducereligion to a set of unimportant ritualsand superstitions. At a recent cocktailhour here at the U of C I overheard thisremark: “That’s not religion; that’smorality!” I’m sure many who opposeour involvement in Vietnam and thegovernment of the Republic of SouthAfrica would agree that the two arelinked.While the Founding Fathers opposedthe establishment of a particular reli¬gion. they sought to encourage religionin general. Thus they wrote the Estab¬lishment clause at the same time theyemployed a chaplain for the Congress.Reg dangersTo the editor:An alarming situation has developedat the pedestrian crosswalk on 57thStreet in front of Regenstein Library.The University of Chicago campusbusses all but block vehicular traffic on57th Street, and block all sight lines intothe crosswalk for drivers stopped at thestop signs. When the campus busses do¬uble park, the situation, of course, be¬comes even more dangerous. I amwriting at this time because of the ex¬perience of last winter, which surelywill be repeated this year, possiblywith fatal results. The road surface atthe stop signs becomes dangerouslyglazed as soon as ice and snow coverthe street. Last winter, and surely thiswinter, the combination of slick roadsurface, non-existent sight lines, andcampus busses blocking the street atthe stop signs became an invitation fordisaster.As long ago as 1971 when the Univer¬sity first proposed a crosswalk for thethen newly constructed Regenstein Li- In our current school prayer debate, Isubmit that a compromise would be notan unhappy splitting of differences, buta golden mean which would come clo¬sest to emulating the Founding Fa¬thers. In permitting a time for silentprayer or meditation, the state wouldpromote no specific religion, but wouldrecognize the religious practice taughtin the home as having an impact onwhat is purveyed during the schoolday.Let us recognize that the rise of theso-called religious right in political ac¬tivism is a response to the values of theliberal agenda which claims non-sec¬tarian adherence to the original con¬sensus, but which in the eyes of thesecritics is diametrically opposed to theoriginal consensus in critical ways.I cordially invite both Lee and Markto read, mark, and inwardly digest myruminations.Carl C.

Career andPlacement Services (CAPS) ispushing students to realize that at aliberal arts institution like U of C,internships are an excellent way totry out their career goals and yet getpractical experience for working aftercollege or grad school. StudentGovernment plans to establish astudent network in the next yearthrough which students who wantinternships can tie into positionswhere other U of C’ers worked.The fact is that Self, Culture, andSociety is not geared to get you a job,but to make you think. Whileemployers want to hire a student whocan think for himself and who is welleducated, the less they have to trainhim, the more likely they are to hirehim. Even if you plan to go on tofurther education, statistics indicateyou will most likely work betweencollege and grad school.* * *Depending on what type ofinternship you want, you will needvarying degrees of energy and finesseto win it. First decide what area youwant to intern in. Law firms havepaying and well-establishedinternships, but they usually takesecond-year law students. You mighttry working in a local politician’soffice or a consumer watchdog agencyinstead.Important factors you shouldconsider in deciding what type ofinternship to apply for include whatyour priorities are on money, time,location, and your goals for theinternship. This information isprimarily meant for summerinternships but can apply to jobs yearround.Here’s some of what you need toconsider about each:Can you afford a non-payinginternship? Many internships are.Joan McDonald, student employmentcoordinator at CAPS advises thestudent who really wants aninternship but has to raise somemoney during the summer to take apart-time job as well. Otherwise, lookhard for interships that do pay. College students at the U of C canapply for money from a specific fund.This fund gave about $800 to severalstudents who otherwise wouldn’t havebeen paid for their efforts, or who hada high financial need.TIMEYou don’t have to work full-time onan internship. You can work 15-20hours a week which then would allowyou to waitress or do something elsepart time.Some employers may not want youto work less than 40 hours a week.They do have a point that in order tosee what goes on in an office youshould work there as a regularemployee. LOCATIONThink seriously about where youwant to work. You may want to stayat home, and therefore be limited bywhat’s in the immediate area.Venture program:By Alex Conroy“It’s not like taking a year off, it’slike taking a year on.” was ananonymous returning students’opinion. Both John McDonald,internship coordinator at theUniversity of Chicago and AnneDunnington, program officer atBrown University, Venture’sheadquarters, want students to seeVenture as a challenge, an addition tocollege life. The University of Chicagohas been a member of the ten-schoolconsortium that sponsors the Ventureprogram for five years. They (theUniversity staff) wanted to offerstudents a chance to apply theacademic theories learned in classesin a practical job situation, McDonaldsaid.Of the 150 jobs usually located inthe Venture notebook, there is a widevariety of positions from labassistants to vineyard workers,nursery school teachers, and theatermanagers to paralegal clerks andinterns in Soviet affairs.Why would a serious University ofChicago student want to spend sixmonths working in a vineyard? “Ithink some have adventurous spirits.These sorts of opportunities in areasthey haven’t experienced are If you are interested in working in acity, you are more likely to find apaying internship Don’t forget aboutliving expenses, though. Someinternships include lodging, but theyare few and far between. Theemployer may help you find housing ifyou are unfamiliar with the cityyou’re going to work in.Another novel approach might be totrade room and board for your work.This works in smaller towns. Forexample, you might help a ruralWisconsin veterinarian on his roundsand get on-hands medical/animalexperience. You might arrange to doresearch for a novel in exchange forhousing and food. Use yourimagination and contacts, and youmight end up with a reallymemorable summer.GOALSWhat do you really want to do? Astepping out nowappealing,” McDonald commented.“All of a sudden, after graduation,you have car payments, rentetc...You can’t just take off toMartha’s Vineyard and pick grapes.”She feels spending time performing ina manual activity in a differentatmosphere helps students learnabout themselves and ponder theirgoals. It’s a good break, McDonaldexplained, “because the U of C is sointense, students get burned out. It’sa release to work with their hands.”This year, however, McDonald seesmany applicants considering bankingand other financial internships. Shefeels this trend is due to the largenumber of business majors. Aboutfive years ago, in contrast the trendwas towards environmental jobs. Onereason was Venture’s focus on thatcategory at the time..Despite the wide choice of jobs andthe encouragement of the counselors,only about 50 students get informationon Venture and about 35 to 40 of theseactually apply.“There’s a stigma attached to notreceiving a degree in four years,”McDonald said. “Some people aregoing to school just because they’regoing to school. Look at all theoptions.” According to Dunnington, strong reason for interning is to findout. However, do pick something youthink you’ll be interested in. Thatsounds obvious, but it’s easy to getcarried away with the name of acompany, or the amount of money itpays summer interns, but for you andthe company, make sure you reallywant to do the job.Part of the reasoning behind theventure program is that for studentswho want to take time off fromschool, they can work and still havetheir financial aid remain intact, andbe on an accepted leave of absence.This is the U of C, however, and youwon’t get academic credit for yourwork. Other schools often do givecredit for work done in internships.Therefore, make the internship youchoose the one you like the most.another common problem isovercoming the fear of being leftbehind when all your entering classhas graduated. But she maintainsthat friendship ties remain, and she isseconded in this opinion by returningVenture participants. They are of themind that college life is stable,something which remains familiareven when you’ve been away.Parents worry also that their sonsor daughters will not return to school.“They equate stopping out withdropping out,” explained McDonaldwho tries to alleviate that situation byconveying the credibility of Ventureto way parents.Venture jobs vary from a quarter toa full year in length and may bevolunteer or paid. They are locatedaround the country, but many of themare in the East since that wasVenture’s original location. Theprogram is trying to spread furtherinto the Midwest and West coastmarket.All information about the job isgiven in the description except theactual company name. This is toprevent students from applying bythemselves after finding a appealingposition. Venture representatives feelit is much more effective to gothrough the program because itprovides workshops on writing coverletters, resume’s and the techniquesof interviewing. Businesses are alsomore impressed by Venturecandidates because the person is firstscreened by the program directorwho then sends an initial cover letterand resume to Brown. Interviewswith the businesses are set up throughBrown, and applicants areinterviewed by a travelingrepresentative or by phone.Occasionally, the applicant visits thebusiness location to interview. It isnot necessary to have background inthe specific field to apply, although itis useful. Businesses are mostimpressed by enthusiasm.Program promoters, as well asreturning students, feel that theprocess of applying for the jobs is, initself, a good experience. “It’s a wayto really get experience with jobsearching before you have to do it(for a career),” Anne Dunningtonsaid. Whether they liked their jobs ornot, students found the interviewingand the chance to fend for themselvesin the job market rewarding.As for how they liked the positionsthey occupied, the students’ responseswere diverse. Some students stateddirectly that they liked their jobs.Others found the experience goodbecause it taught them how a liberalarts education could be useful. Stillothers said that working in Venturehelped eliminate possible careerChoices; they found which things theydefinitely did not want to do.It was almost universally agreedthat taking time off made one morelikely to appreciate college life.Interns returned—disproving acommonly misconceived fear thatthey would drop out—with a newoutlook and enthusiasm for classroomlearning. They felt more selfconfident in their abilities once theyhad proved themselves “outside,”and saw school as a change of pace.Hot Venture internshipsJob Title: 0C-346 - Lab AssistantLocation: Bethesda, MDSalary: $196/WeekStarting Date: January 1985 and April1985 (3 month commitment)Description :This is a laboratory associated withthe American Red Cross which is con¬ducting research, basic and applied, ona number of projects.Student will be assigned to a re¬search project in the lab and will be re¬sponsible for conducting experiments:collecting and analyzing and presenti¬ng data.

I learnedthat from working four very differentinternships over the past three years.Two were in journalism, one inspecial events planning, and one inthe arts. These jobs gave me thechance to try out possible careers asa full or half-time employer.I learned as an arts intern at theConnecticut Commission on the Artsthat bureaucracy really limits whatstate organizations can do. TheCommission on the Arts is a state-runorganization which organizes allpublically funded art for Connecticut.Several of my co-workers wereoften more concerned with gettingtheir requisite twice-daily coffeebreak than with their actual tasks. Asan “arts” intern, I reorganized theirlibrary, and put a book onConnecticut’s arts resources into amore coherent form by xeroxing all200 pages, cutting the entries apart,and reordering them.It surprised me that everyone elsewho worked there was actuallycontent to stay with their jobs whichmostly consisted of filing, cataloging,and planning seminars. I found,however, that the people you workwith can save your learningexperience. I hooked up with one ofthe few active people at theCommission and created a map ofplaces in the state where people cango to see or do art which wras thengoing to be posted along thehighways.I first interned at the Commissionon the Arts in January of my junioryear of high school. I returned theI worked two internships thissummer in Washington, D.C.The first was at the Boston CityOffice, a lobbying group whichrepresents the interests of the City ofBoston to the federal government.While this was a voluntary, unpaidinternship, the work I did was veryinteresting.The major function of this office isto monitor legislation relevant toBoston, and to attempt to get billsworded in such a way that they couldhelp Boston with grants or localprograms. In doing this, I attended — — - ■■ — 4Profiles of inferos from this past summerArts/joumafism internnext summer to program their newcomputer for the summer. That was achallenging job, and yet I would nothave originally thought to apply to anarts organization for computer work.I later used a friend from theCommission on the Arts as a contactto get another internship - this time atthe Hartford Courant, a large paperin Connecticut. Networking and theexperience I gained from my artsinternship proved important for thatjob because I wanted to work on adaily newspaper and had only a onehigh school newspaper article to mycredit.I reached the right person at theCourant who then decided he wouldtake a risk on me, although the paperdoesn’t usually have interns duringthe school year. I spent five weeksworking full time as a City Deskreporter writing news and featuresstories which were in turn hackedapart and sent back to me forrewriting. It was a very valuableexperience because I was given thechance to do as much writing as Iwanted - I wrote over 25 articles. Ilearned not to be embarassed w’hen Ihad to call a source back for the fifthtime to get more facts, how to takenotes on a computer which talking onthe phone, and how to make a story ofany situation - be it a soup kitchenopening or a giant radish.This second internship helped medecide that I wras more interested injournalism that arts administration,which I wouldn’t have known withouttrying out both. That’s what I think agood internship should do - point youinto or away from a specific careerdirection with on-the-job experience.Frank Connollycommittee meetings, talked to andworked with Congressional officeworkers, followed legislation throughCongress, and kept Boston up to dateon relevant, beneficial federallegislation.Working with this lobbying firm wasvaluable experience because while Iwas actually working in the publicsector for the Boston city government,the job was similar to many privatesector jobs that rely on the federalgovernment for their existence. It alsogave me insight into the actualrelationship between local and federal Marianne CurrieBy Alex Conroy“I’d never even thought of takingtime off from school,” MarianneCurrie, former Venture student, said.“I found a job with a theatercompany that fitted perfectly what Iwanted, but it was in the fall, so Idecided to take classes in thesummer.” As a result of her searchfor a summer job, Currie foundherself working for four monthsduring the academic year as abusiness intern for the CircleReperatory Company in New York.“I was always one to go forpractical courses,” Curriecommented. She was planning onmajoring in math, but found she didnot enjoy her classes. Now, after herjob experience, she sees the benefitsto a broad educational background,and plans to be a theater major aspart of the General Studies in theHumanities program. She now feels itis important to take classes sheenjoys, not just those that would bepractical for a particular career. Inher opinion, specific skills can belearned on the job. “Once you're outthere, anyone of us has the smarts tobe taught. At the University of| Chicago, we develop general skills:research, learning things on our own.I questioning. The University teachesus how to learn.”Along with a broad educationalbase. Currie feels, then that “Goingout into a practical situation is anexcellent supplement.” Her own jobas an intern included bookkeeping,answering phones, and runningconcessions. “I learned a lot ofpractical business skills. Things thatare not exciting, but good to know. ILobbying/Congressional interngovernment.I served a second internship in thePeriodical Press Gallery of the USHouse of Representatives as well thissummer. I interned there during theRepublican National Convention.While the rest of the staff went toDallas to take care of thousands ofreporters there, I was left in charge ofthe Press Gallery. Needless to say. itwas extremely quiet that week.However, while Congress was insession, this internship was. for themost part, very exciting. We keptreporters up to date on what was Venture theatre internwas amazed at how much of theaterproduction is financial.”Currie was a little apprehensive atfirst, because she had no businessexperience, but found her coworkersto be helpful and friendly. Afterintroductory on-the-job training, shewas arranging her own schedulewithin the work day. “The mostexciting thing was being exposed tothe artistic atmosphere.” While withthe company. Currie encounteredcelebrities like Lanford Williams (aplaywright) and Judd Hirsch of“Taxi” fame in the halls.As for "missing” time in her schoolcareer or social life. Currie said,“thing’s changed, but they weredestined to anyway” whether or notshe was present. Some of her friendshad left, but some remained, and shefound it no trouble to make newaquaintances through herparticipation in student theater.Although she felt she missed a littleby leaving. “I felt like I d done whateverybody talks about doing, butdoesn't. I felt self-confident.”Currie followed the usual Ventureprocedure. After finding a job to herliking, she contacted Joan McDonald,the University of Chicago's Venturecoordinator who then contactedBrown. Currie sent a cover letter,resume, and application to Brown.After they contacted the theatercompany. Currie arranged to passthrough New York on her way hometo be interviewed by a Circlerepresentative. While in New York,she stayed with friends, but couldhave utilized accomodations providedby Venture if she had so desired.occurring on the floor of the House,kept track of votes and schedules forupcoming votes, and to some extentwe were in charge of getting reportersinto committee meetings and pressconferences.This internship was special becauseI had tne opportunity to work withfamous people, such as congressmenand senators, and with reporterswhose stories make the front pages ofmajor newspapers every day. I alsohad the opportunity to seegovernment in action on the floor ofthe House of Representatives.Myths about internships What to consider before interauigExploding some myths about intern¬ships:♦Being an intern doesn’t mean youhave to be a lackey — Be careful be¬cause some internships are set up togive the intern only the detail work.Others can give you on-the-job experi¬ence that will change your life. Findour precisely what you will be doingand speak up if you want to do more.♦Internships are not just for the richwho can afford to volunteer in ex¬change for experience. Minority intern¬ships in journalism and other areas payupwards of $200 a week now.•Your performance in an internshipwill count because many employeessee interns as a special kind of risk.Many U of C interns are offered jobsfollowing graduation or have their jobsearch boosted by an internship em¬ployer’s recommendations.♦You don’t have to wait until you’re ajunior or senior to intern. Even if theapplication limits people who will beconsidered for an internship, try any¬way.♦Do think about your qualifications— this isn’t McDonalds which will take anyone who can add. You are comingfrom the U of C, a school that teachesyou more theory than practical appli¬cation, but use any summer, orcampus, or other jobs or volunteer ex¬perience you’ve had to your maximumadvantage.•Start looking now — many intern¬ship deadlines are in late November.Try to make an interview appointmentfor Christmas break.•Don’t expect the place you’re apply¬ing to to take all the initiative in hiringyou. Be persistent — make a nuisanceof yourself in a polite way about gettinga job you really want. Find out who tocall, write or interview with for the spe¬cific position you want.•Internships don’t already have to beestablished. Create your own. Employ¬ers usually don’t like summer help be¬cause they are there mostly to earnmoney and have a good time, not togain experience. You can get some re¬ally valuable experiences in places thatmight not hire summer help if youprove that you want it because it has fu¬ture relevance for you. 1. Decide what your skills are andwhat you might want to do in acareer.2. Look through internship resourcebooks (some are located in the CAPSlibrary on the second floor ofReynolds Club) to get addresses andphone numbers of all the places youwant to work at.3. Talk to students who have doneinternships. Find out what problemsthey had — from winning the job togetting work requiring responsibility.Ask how they went about getting theinternship and what they might havedone differently.4. Write a resume and cover letter.There are books to help you with thisor you can make an appointment withJoan McDonald, student employmentcoordinator at CAPS.5. Narrow down the places andareas you w ant to work in to amanageable number (about 5-10).6. Research those places.7. Call the places where you want to work and get the name of the personyou should contact about internshipsand his/her title. Find our whetherthere is a specific procedure youshould follow in applying for theinternship.8. Beware of deadlines. Send yourapplication several days in advance.9. Find out when any decision willbe made, before you apply. Often acall to the person you sent yourinformation to is all that’s needed tospur him or her to invite you for aninterview.10. When you are interviewed, andyou should try to be. treat it like aregular job interview — dress well,bring samples of your work, thinkabout how you plan to presentyourself. Be sure to ask questionsabout your position — make sure youwill be doing something that's worthyour time. Stress your good points butalso approach it from “what you gainfrom this experience.” Persistencepays off.The Chicago Maroon—Tuesday.

The surgeshowed two Maroon strengths, namelythe ability to penetrate opposing man-to-man defenses, and an ability to ad¬just defensively by changing fromman-to-man to a 2-3 zone defense whichheld the Hawks to a 30 percent shootingpercentage in the second half.Six different Maroons scored duringthat 16-5 stretch in the second half, andfour recorded assists, to demonstratehow well the Maroons work the ballagainst the man-to-man defense. RobOmiecinski scored six straight points,and finished the game with 16 total on8-for-13 shooting. Three other Maroonsscored in double figures, as Keith Li¬bert poured in 19, Tom Redburg had 1315-for-6 from the field) and Nick Merig-gioli had 10. Libert also has seven as¬sists and eight rebounds.The zone defense cooled off Hawks’scoring leaders Cary Musser and BillRecchia, who combined to score theHawks’ first 16 points of the evening. Recchia, despite 11 rebounds on thenight, managed only one point over thelast 35 minutes of the game, andMusser scored only two points in thesecond half. Only the outside shootingof guard Jim Baker kept the Hawks’ of¬fense alive in the second half. Bakerand Musser led all Hawks’ scorers with10 points a piece.Lake Forest presents a challenge be¬cause of its full-court pressurethroughout the game. Charlie Miller’sForesters rely on the breaks createdby that pressure in order to take con¬trol of the game. The Maroons havehandled the press well in the past, part¬ly because of the quickness of Merig-gioli and Clifford in the backcourt.“We’ve got to maintain control of thegame,” Angelus said. “We can’t let itturn into a rat race, because that’s theway they like to play.” The Foresterlineup features a much improved TomBernero at center, and Chris Stenzel atforward. Rick Rice, injured most oflast year, comes back at forward, andBy Geoff SherryChris Nelson of Wheaton Collegescored 18 points and swiped 5 reboundsto lead the Crusaders to a 59-43 victoryover the University of Chicagowomen’s basketball team last Tuesdayin the Maroons’ home opener. Gret-chen Gates took game honors with 20points and 8 rebounds for theMaroons.Managing only a paltry 26 percentfrom the fieid compared to Wheaton’srespectable 56 percent, the Maroonswere forced to go inside, often result¬ing in forced passes and costly turn¬overs.Head coach Kevin McCarthy ob¬served, “You have to make outsideshots in order to beat a zone defense. If Ken Kelly returns for the third year ina row as a starting guard.“They overplay a lot, but if you liveby the sword you die by the sword,”Angelus added, pointing out that atLake Forest last year Chicago commit¬ted 20 turnovers and still won by 20points.As for the actual sixth man, Angelussaid that “we’re not hurting as bad as Ithought on the bench.” Omiecinskiscored his 16 points as sixth man Satur¬day. Tom Lepp “has been playing likegangbusters at the pivot” and FrankCaeser has looked strong on defenseand rebounding. “The sixth man weneed, again, is the sixth man in thebleachers for these tough games.”The Lake Forest game begins to¬night at 7:30 p.m. in HCFH.

Chi¬cago has some good shooters but to¬night was not their night,” noted Hill¬man.Chicago’s three guards, KarenWalsh. Sheila Dugan and Madelyn Det-loff. could manage only nine points be¬tween them. McCarthy explained.“You never expect your whole team tohave an off night. We did. Usuallysomeone will pick up the slack. We'llsnap out of it.”In fact, there were some bright spots Maroon head coach John Angelusshows reserve guard Mike Medina acouple of tricks on the sideline.in the seemingly lack-luster perfor¬mance. Chicago outrebounded and out-shot Wheaton, and hit 13 of 19freethrows. compared to 3 of 10 for theCrusaders. Sophomore Maria Del Fa-varo showed promise as she talliedseven points and brought down sevenrebounds. Wendy Pietrzak added sixpoints and four rebounds.McCarthy concluded. “We're stilladjusting and we're gonna start hittingour shots and playing well.

They've alreadymade notorious videos, had chart hits*been banned, marketed a line of clothing,popularized a set of slogans, seen theirfaces in scores of major publications, andgenerally created a great stir for severalreasons. I have attempted to categoricallyorganize some observations on their workand on their show at the Bismarck, as fol¬lows:FRANKIE SAYRELAX?Frankie are gay, and not willing toleave that open to the slightest question— not even for Time magazine, not for tvor the massive straight teen market.They don’t dress like women, choosingnot to “mask" their sexuality in the “cos¬tume’’ of femininity — they dress like gaymen (that is to say, tres chic, tres bien!)They don’t make court jesters of them¬selves, like the Village People beforethem; they don’t pass themselves off as anovelty act. They don’t raise the questionof their sexuality, as did David Bowie orElton John before them, as a tease to theirfans. Instead, they affirm their homosex¬uality in a tasteful but unequivocal way.Lots of teenage girls at the Bismarck, nodoubt in from the suburbs for a wild nightin the big city, seemed to miss the point.“Oh, he’s so cute!’’ “Which one’s Frankie?’’“Which one should I go for?’’ This goes toprove that people will be oblivious to any¬thing they want-to.Frankie is a pop group that asks for, andcertainly merits, serious (such as it is) con¬sideration as a pop group. They partici¬pate in pop culture. They also participatein gay culture (albeit in a tame way; atleast they have the sense of self not todeny it or leave it open to question, unlikecoy Boy George or Michael Jackson). Tosome extent (variant by the degree thatyou accept them as representative of gayculture or pop culture) they seek to fusegay culture and pop culture, establishing asocially accepted area of commonality be¬tween the two.They work towards some really worth¬while ends — to make homosexuality amore acceptable option, to make herero-sexuals more aware of their gay peers,and at the same time, to make peopleDance with a capital DThat latter goal is the most potentiallysuccessful, because dancing is an expres¬sion of sexuality that crosses the lines ofgender-preference.FRANKIE SAY WAR“War/What is it good for?/Absolutelynothing!’’ say Frankie, covering the P.Funk classic. They also say, “When twotribes go to war/a point is all that you canscore’’.Their pacifist stance and their criticismsof Reagan as a war-monger are statedwith just as much insistance and force astheir homosexuality. The anti-war mes¬sage of their lyrics is reinforced by videos,t-shirts, slogans. What it comes down to, isthat while it is not really especially shock¬ing for them to oppose war and nuclearproliferation, they push their point to adegree that is unusual for popular mediafigures. They refuse to say, this is just justmusic, let people dance; this is just for en¬tertainment, politics don't belong here.They realize that in this age of Americanhigh-tech imperialism and reactionary fer¬vor, apoliticality is a fallacy. To ignore theissues would be complacency, and compla¬cency contributes to the potentiality ofwar. Frankie is part of the solution be¬cause they refuse to be part of the prob¬lem.Their conviction is admirable, and maycost them some audience among those ofthe conservative bent, or those that wouldjust rather not hear about it. One thingthey’re doing right, is presenting theiranti-war statement in the most modern,state of the art popular form. Acousticfolk-type protest music sounds hackneyed,dated, basically ridiculous; while Frankie,making the same statement, sounds styl¬ish, danceable. People play it at parties,dance to it, and pacifism becomes stylishagain. All of a suden there’s an alterna¬tive style and stylishness for young peo¬ple who wonder if they missed the boat bynot joining the lemming hoards of stylish,upwardly mobile youth who voted forReagan.FRANKIEANDLES FEMMESOne could argue that feminists are pri¬marily humanists who devote special at¬tention to the fact that while all humanshave innate worth and accomplish worth¬while things, women are especially in needof acknowledgement for their worth andtheir achievements, because those thingshave been so neglected throughout histo¬ry. Feminists, then, as humanists who spe¬cialize, may have a soft spot for Frankie,because Frankie argues the worth of an¬other repressed and neglected group —gay men.Frankie works against patriarchy in popmusic by having two “front men”, twostrong focal egos in the band. Holly John¬son sings lead vocals, while Paul Ruther¬ford sings backing vocals and dances(three others handle instrumentation; ap¬parently songs are written collectively).Having the two of them is great — theylook like they're having so much fun thattheir enthusiasm is contagious; both are very charismatic. This takes the focusaway from lead-singer-as-sole-love-ob-ject, which is a welcome change. It also de¬mystifies pop-stardom; you don’t have tobe a great musician, or even sing much,you can just dance and be a star. Ruther¬ford says; “I don’t have an instrument, Idon’t have a great voice, I just have somenice clothes maybe. But, I mean, bigdeal.”Finally, in taking the liberal and human¬istic stances that they do, Frankie certain¬ly promotes an implicit respect for all indi¬viduals; women must be among thoseJohnson addresses in espousing “Happi¬ness to all — victims turn away the mani¬pulators”. I found it particularly unfortu¬nate and careless that in the liner notes oftheir new album Welcome The The Plea-ureDome sexist language is used. I hopethis lapse is not indicative of any kind ofdisregard on Frankie's part for women orwomen’s issues; I do not expect that it is.FRANKIESAYCOLOR MEPSYCHEDELICOriginal psychedelia, from the late six¬ties and early seventies, has recently fin¬ished serving its term of being outre; theFleshtones and others ushered in a newera of acceptability for the psychedelicreference. Even bands that embrace nou¬veau psychedelia wholeheartly are quitevogue now. so long as they’ve been doingit for more than one year and less thanfive.Frankie is not a psychedelic band per se,certainly, but they’re far too fashionableto let such a groovy trend pass by withoutacknowledgment. Their album is just rifewith references to psychedelic predeces¬sors. Welcome To the Pleasc. Dome, thealbum's title, seems to refer io the PinkFloyd song. Welcome To The Machine: thisconnection is reinforced by the title of asong on Frankie's album, Wish (The LadsWere Here), and the lyrics of that song,and their obvious reference to Wish YouWere Here, the title of a Pink Floyd album.Furthermore, there are numerous musicalquotes from Pink Flbyd on the album. Ad¬ditionally, there is a record sleeve photo¬graph of Frankie posed to look like thecover of By Her Satanic Majesty's Re¬quest. the Rolling Stones' rather lame at¬tempt to go psychedelic.One wonders why, if Frankie was goingto choose a psychedelic phenomenon torefer to, they chose one as quirky andproblematic as Pink Floyd. Distinctly psy¬chedelic (and rather off the deep end)when they started out, Pink Floyd losttheir songwriter/genius Syd Barrett to amental institution after only a few of theirdozens of albums. They stuck together andget more electronic, but less wierd, andsomewhere in the 70’s achieved a mass-scale popularity, long after they were al¬ready stale. Since then they've released acouple of interesting and several terriblealbums, including the unmentionably badThe Wall. They've probably broken upsince, but they’re no less of a high-school-middle-american-teen-age-d rug-culture in¬stitution now the than five or even tenyears ago. Perhaps it is their inexplicablestaying power that attracts Frankie toPink Floyd; perhaps Frankie makes an af¬fectionate joke of hoping to someday beas institutionalized and as widely reveredas Pink Floyd. Perhaps they aspire to re¬lease as many forgettable albums and fillas many back bins of every used recordstore in the western world. After all. a lotof people have heard Relax, but howmany more have heard Dark Side of theMoon?Pink Floyd say “All you create/ and allyou destroy/ and everything under the sunis in tune/ but the sun in eclipsed by themoon.” And Frankie say "...if it all endstomorrow, we’gve had a good ride, we'veseen what it’s like.”WELCOMETO THEPLEASUREDOMEBefore describing the actual sinking, itshould be noted that the state of thecrowd was already tense, electric, for thefollowing reasons.It was crowded, they oversold, clearly.It was not a primarily gay crowd — it wasprimarily high school, trendy, suburban. I think. I guess that’s a function of seeing ashow at an all ages hall in a city wheremost shows are at clubs and most clubscheck IDs. Anyway it resembled nothing somuch as a dance in the high school gym.Lots of red vinyl ties.The opening act began with unexpectedpunctuality. It wasn’t some second rateand, it was actually a female imperson¬ator act. I immediately thought it could bea sort of progressive move — bringing thegay club experience to suburbia, youknow? Suburbia wasn’t ready. They shuf¬fled uncomfortably through a Tina Turnerimpersonator/lip synch, then Cher, thenBette Midler. One man impersonated afive year old girl, singing “My Boy Lolli¬pop” and doing a standup routine; he wasmet by heckling that was not widespreadbut was vicious enough. The classic fatsassy drag queen, his responses werequick and surefire: “Pull your foreskin upover your ears, baby, ‘cause you’re allprick” and “You wanna get laid? Crawl upa chicken's asshole and wait." The crowdexpressed pretty much appreciation whenthe act ended.Afterwards there was a pause of unfor¬tunately long duration, during which theonly diversion was a patchy soundtrack ofPink Floyd, then an endless stream of BobMarley’s greatest hits, which might havewell as well have been French grammarrecords for all anyone cared to hear them;apparently they're the latest releasefrom Island records. Frankie s label. Whenthe reservoir of everything Bob Marteyever recorded had been fully drained,there were a couple of songs by the B52sLots of people danced to that. I’d becurious to know how many young trendiesstopped to wonder if they were being in¬sulted. They were.It seemed like they'd done everythingpossible to put the crowd off. but whenFrankie came on. they were met with theexpected orgiastic fervor. War was theirfirst number, and they thundered throughit with a deafening volume, complote withpolitically correct video backdrop. The au¬dience was ready to dance or kill, itseemed. The second song was not distinctenough to remember, but it didn't slowanyone down too much. Then suddenly themusic stopped.FRANKIETHE SINKINGOF THEBISMARCKThe lights came on. Some people fromthe Bismarck came on stage, some promot¬ers; Frankie left the stage. They said, ev¬erybody has to move back about 20 feetaway from the stage, there's some kind ofa problem up here. It took a long time; ev¬erybody had to move more than 20 feet. Itturned out a big section of the floor hadcollapsed. They kept moving the crowdback further, further, and slowly, slowly,and putting up barricades. We want ev¬erybody to have a good time, says the fatsweaty man, but you’re going to have tomove back. Move back, everybody justmove back, we have a dangerous situationup here. It was Mr. Bismarck up there asthe principal and we were rock and rollhigh school. We want to put on a rock androll show, he says, but we don't want any¬body to get hurt Fuck you, fuck you some¬one screams. Move back, just everybocdyget calmed down and we'll get back to theshow as soon as we can. Bullshit, theyscream. He says, calm down, just relax,relax, and everybody goes wild.It took about 45 minutes which was morethan much too much, and they moved ev¬eryone off the main floor and into the bal¬conies. which were packed, and felt likethey too might go at any second. Theydidn't, though, and Frankie playedthrough what appeared to be an abbre¬viated set, and certainly lacked the mo¬mentum of the first two numbers. Not thatyou could blame them Welcome To thePleasuredome suffered the most, sound¬ing muddy and uncoordinated. Two ver¬sions of Relax which appeared to be try¬ing hard were well reviewed. Two Tribeswas also quite passable, but the only ren¬dition that could have been called rousingwas their lovely sardonic cover of BruceSpringsteen’s Born To Run.But I came just as much to look as tohear, and I was certainly struck by theimage, from my balcony vantage point, ofthe band putting their all into trying to re¬scue a rapidly sinking performance,directed out over an empty dance floorwith a gaping hole in the middle.FRANKIE SINKS THE BISMARCKLisbeth Zwerger, award winning illustratorof folk and fairy tales, will autograph herworks, includingThe NutcrackerandThe Gift of the Magiat57th St. Books,1301 E. 57th St., 684-1300on Thursday, November 297 - 8:30 p.m.Calendars, cloth and paperback books availableDISCOUNTS DON’T COUNTWhat you get, and what you pay for it—that’s what countsKAYPRO BUSINESS PAKKaypro 2X, LQ Printer, Cable, Software for wordprocessing,proofreading, communication, spreadsheets, database.Basic, games, more PLUS FREE: Box Verbatim disksSurge protector / line filterPackage clean-perf paper2 instruction sessionsKAYPRO NEW 2 s1895KAYPRO JUNIOR BUSINESS PAKKaypro New 2, LQ printer, calbe.

The play is a satire of bour-geoise values and morality. Three¬penny Opera balances two forms oftheatre: the modern reaction to therestricting conventions of the stageand the empathetic power of emo¬tional realism. In this balance is anintellectually stimulating play thatis also quite involving. J. Scott John¬son’s and Evan Owen’s direction es¬tablishes this balance through care¬ful use of Brechtian techniques, i.e,the deliberate destruction of the il¬lusion of theater. For most moderntheater goers the Brechtian twistsno longer hold any shock value.Modern presentations must beaware of this, and try to hold tooriginal principles while updatingtechniques. In this production ScottJohnson works within the traditionwhile subtly introducing his moderninterpretations.The musical direction and executionis strong and the best that I haveseen on campus. All of the leadsingers are good and some of thesupporting roles are entrancing.Benjamin Weinberg plays JonathanJeremiah Peachum, a preacher, whoturns out to be the usurer-king of thebeggars, builds the irony of his char¬acter into each of his lines. The partis presented with a wry sense ofhypocritical humor. Ben Weinberg’sdepiction is consistent, relaxed, andvocally strong. This interpretation,however, detracts from the possibleemotional impact of a more realisticportrayal of the domineering fatherfigure.The character of Mac the Knife is at¬tempted in all its complexity by Mi¬chael Kotze. He comes across as acaricature of the stereotyped figureof the romantically dashing thief,suave but twisted Strains of SteveMartin are apparent in the portray¬al of his counterpart Jackie “Tiger”Brown, the chief of police, played bySam Gassel. Virginia Harding, type¬cast though she may be, is an excel¬lent Polly Peachum. This seeminglyblind, naive girl-next-door sings an¬gelically of her gentleman of thestreets. Ruth as Mrs. Peachum leantan impressive voice that quiteadded to the musical strength of theshow. Amongst the. many good sup¬porting roles Cheryl Foster as LowDive Jenny is particularly powerfulwhen she sings the Ballad of Immor¬al Earnings. Ray Cullon is very re¬laxed in his role of Jake. JacobThiessen is good all over the place inmany small roles. Ross Mead singsThe Ballad Of Mac The Knife well, atbeginning and end.This performance of Brecht andWeill's Threepenny Opera is an ex¬cellent close to a good quarter oftheatre and a very good start for ayear of Blackfriars. All of the com¬ponents of the production were exe¬cuted with a bit of pretention andquite a lot of good work. The direc¬tion was complex and yet straight¬forward, the acting and singing waspowerful, the set design and light¬ing precise and well thought and theposters and programs are profes¬sional. —Jim KeeneyMuddy Waters (The Hoochie CoochieMan) Musician/actor Roy Hytowerplays the legendary bluesman like across between Mick Jagger andJimmy Walker in the Black Ensem¬ble's “musical tribute,” written byJimmy Tillman and Jackie Taylor.The dialogue is authentic-sounding,and the note of Black Solidarity,while it might be slightly disconcert¬ing to white audiences, is refresh¬ingly unhypocritical. The weight ofthe performance, however, rests onthe music, which is as good as anythat can be had in this city of cele¬brated blues clubs.

Thebig news is the new production ofRichard Strauss’ out of controlhyper-symbolic masterpiece DieFrau ohne Schatten (The Womanwithout a Shadow). Frank Corsaro'sproduction is said to be a multi-media spectacular, and the cast Lyrichas assembled, including the tre¬mendous Eva Marton, MarilynZschau, Mignon Dunn, SiegmundNimsgern, and William Johns, unden¬iably world class, would do anymajor opera house proud. The operaitself, with a libretto by Hugo vonHofmannsthal, is a rich blend of pri¬meval mythology, modern psycholo¬gy, and unabashed fairy tale thea¬trics; the music is a late-romanticfever dream. This is a rare opportu¬nity to see one of the landmarks oftwentieth-century opera.

The desire to becomebetter writers, better photographers, andbetter editors has fostered an atmosphere inwhich serious discussion and earnest criticismfrom fellow contributors is a vital and wel¬come part. Recently, however, the Grey CityJournal has been criticized by an unlikely andsingularly unqualified source — that show-boat of journalistic ineptitude, The ChicagoSpectator. While hesitant to devote undue at¬tention and editorial space to so willfully ig¬norant an article, the false and malicious con¬tent of the Spectator article demands arefutation.First, it must be pointed out that the GreyCity Journal exists as a forum for writers. Un¬like the Spectator, which is strangely com¬pelled to point out that “The opinions pre¬sented in all signed articles represent theopinion of the writer. They do not necessarilyrepresent the opinion of the editors of TheChicago Spectator” (One wonders who theydo represent — their faculty advisors? theircorporate sponsors? the Idea of ObjectiveJournalism?), the GCJ does not disclaim orrenounce the work and opinion of its contribu¬tors. The GCJ does not pretend to a deceptiveand impossible objectivity; rather, we askour writers and readers to undertake a pro¬vocative and serious consideration of the ten¬sions and issues of their lives — whetherthose issues are U.S. involvement in Nicara¬gua, the evolution of Hip-Hop culture, the re¬cent Presidential election, feminism, the lat¬est exhibit at the Hyde Park Art Center, or any of the other issues which form the politi¬cal fabric of our time. Because the staff of theGCJ attempts to sincerely and often person¬ally confront such issues, the paper avoidsthe attitude of smug condescension so oftenfound in The Chicago Spectator, an attitudeparticularly well illustrated by one RussellMiller, “Editorial-Page Editor,” whose unth¬inking adulation of a particular right-wingcolumnist allows him to blithely dismiss thecollective advice of Nobel Laureates, distin¬guished scientists, and 200 other scholars, in¬cluding his own professors. For those of usmore willing to honestly consider the world inwhich we live, the GCJ can serve as the idealforum in which to confront the importantissues of our lives, to clarify and develop ourthought, and to further our education.With these considerations in mind, the Spec¬tator article, “Should We Take the Grey CitySeriously?,” by the delightfully named Phil¬lip D. Lies is particularly offensive, both forits distortions of the purpose and the contentof the GCJ. Mr. Lies begins his article with anunfavorable comparison of the GCJ to theNew York Times; the delicate sensibilities ofMr. Lies have been offened by an article theTimes would never publish. Thank-you, Mr.Lies, for this incisive critique. Unfortunately,you confuse both the audience and the intentof the Grey City Journal — we are a studentrun newspaper; we hope to appeal to thewide and immediate concerns of the Universi¬ty student and community. By the way, welook forward with pleasure to your next con¬tribution to the Times Op-Ed page.Passing over most of Mr. Lie’s haltingprose, we come to the most objectionable andspiteful element of his article — the charac¬terization of GCJ content as "politically radi¬cal articles, childish photo-layouts, criticismof conservatives, and reviews of art,theatre, and music by people with little or noqualifications ♦ n reyiow SUCh subjects.” Pro ferring the diatribes of the before-mentionedhomophobe Russell Miller, art reviews withsuch incisive art critical statements as “Spec¬ulation as to what the painter’s intent wasleads to r o one answer, but can be veryamusing,” and effusive reviews of “classy”(that means “brass railings”) Japanese res¬taurants, Mr. Lies insults the diversity ofGrey City writers who have written often re¬markable articles on topics that even Mr. Lieswould consider (however incorrectly) non-po¬litical — topics such as art, film, theatre,dance, and opera in Chicago, campus film,theatre and music, current books, and popu¬lar debates, in addition to original photo¬graphy, fiction and poetry. With his ground¬less and irresponsible charges, Mr. Liesdisplays not only the malice of his own ideo¬logy, but an unpardonable contempt for theinterests, opinion, and talents of his peers.Mr. Lies’ journalistic dishonesty is epito¬mized by the comments he includes aboutGrey City brunch, comments made by a per¬son who claims to have attended severalbrunchs. It is a fact well known to all GCJstaff members that this person attended onlypart of one brunch, where he made inflamma¬tory remarks, asked questions with the in¬tent of provoking anger, and generallysought to disrupt the meeting. We suggestthat Mr. Lies knew the statements aboutbrunch to be false, and that he willfullymisrepresented brunch, a function vital to thelife of our paper.To conclude, we would like to extend an in¬vitation to those readers who might like tobecome contributors to the GCJ. The paperexists for its writers — your contributionsare always welcome and encouraged. Al¬though this is the final issue of the Autumnquarter, many more are to come in the follow¬ing quarters.

Jackie Kong) Canthis be the worst movie of 1984?You bet your brains, sweet pea; thisone is so very bad, it only needs PiaZadora and Divine to make it a clas¬sic of the “dreadful” genre. Unfor¬tunately, it only has those esteemedthespians, Linda Blair and Pat Mori-ta, and those ex-Gong show panel¬ists, Pat Paulsen, Billy Barty, JayeP. Morgan, and the Unknown Comic.None of them even bear talkingabout. The plot concerns the woefulshenanigans of the Metropolitan Po¬lice Force, as they search for a come¬dian/burglar who wears a bag on hishead and tells jokes while he robspeople — it isn’t the Unknown Comic,though (Mr. Comedy himself), it’s hispsychiatrist! The screenplay, credit¬ed to Murray Lanston, WilliamLevey, William Osco, and JackieKong, is simply dreadful; the jokesfall flat, and become increasinglyfoul as time goes on. The dialogue isrank — Linda Blair as desk ser¬geant: “You can insult my tits, youcan insult my ass, but don't call medumb!” One scene describes it all: apolice officer walks obliviouslythrough Santa Monica's lovelyOcean Park; a jogger falls over deadin front of him; a thief rifles throughthe dead man’s pockets, clumsilydrops the wallet; the cop retrievesthe wallet, hands it to the thief witha “You dropped your wallet, sir,”and walks directly into a pile of dog-crap; the dog behind him sniggers,and, raising its leg, aims directly forthe cop’s trousers.

The Music Depart¬ment is also undergoing a noticeablechange. Traditionally interested in Musico¬logy, theory, and composition, there isnow an increasing emphasis on perfor¬mance. A new effort is being made to in¬volve more people in departmental activi¬ties. I would like to tell you in particularabout how this effort has affected thechoral program.Two basic changes were made in the pro¬gram this year. First, what was formerlythe Univesity Chamber Choir has been com¬bined with the Collegium Musicum vocal¬ists to form the University Motet Choir.Second, a new director has been appointedto conduct both choirs — Bruce Tammen.Bruce is no new face at the U. of C. Heholds degrees from Luther College, the U.of C., and Northwestern. His practical mu¬sical experience includes serving as bari¬tone soloist at Rockefeller Chapel, 4thPresbyterian and Holy Name Cathedral.Additionally, he has soloed with the Uni¬versity Orchestra and sung with the Colle¬gium Musicum for several years. He hasperformed several solo recitals, andteaches voice in Hyde Park.When he began his work as director, heheard that there was little enthusiasm forchoral music on campus, and that buildingthe program would take some time. Thus,a giant publicity campaign was launchedto attract as many singers as possible. Theresult was a tremendous success. With 165persons auditioning (far more than everbefore), it was evident that there wasplenty of enthusiasm for singing. Unfor¬tunately, several singers had to be turnedaway because, initially, there simply wasnot room for them. At present there are109 people in the University Chorus, and28 in the Motet Choir.The two choirs sing radically differentsorts of music. The Chorus is suitable to the more massive and dramatic works of nine¬teenth and twentieth century composers,as well as to the larger works with orcheiltra of the last two centuries; the MotetChoir, on the other hand, isn’t particularlyloud or dramatic, but is particularly suitedto Renaissance music, and to twentiethcentury choral chamber music.Both choirs have already appeared inconcert this quarter. The University Chorusperformed a segment of the HalloweenConcert in Mandel Hall, singing Grieg’s “Inthe Hall of the Mountain King’’ with theUniversity Orchestra. The Motet Choir ap¬peared with the Collegium Musicum in aconcert of Spanish Renaissance and Ba¬roque music. Both of these were heavilypublicized and heavily attended. The Col¬legium concert had standing room only, anunprecedented size of audience for such aconcert.On Sunday, December 2 the choirs willperform their Autumn Quarter concertjointly, by singing Advent music from theRenaissance, Romantic, and modern eras.The concert will feature solosits selectedfrom the choirs, singing music of Victoria,Bruckner, Rachmaninov, Poulenc, andothers. It will certainly be a good way tospend part of a Sunday evening and beginthe Christmas season.Upcoming concerts are an all-Bach con¬cert with the Motet Choir and UnivesityChamber Orchestra, and the UniversityChorus’ Winter quarter concert featuringRachmaninov’s Vigil; in Spring, the Univer¬sity Chorus and Orchestra will join to per¬form Vaughn William’s Don Nobis Pacem.These are tremendous undertakings on thepart of these choirs, but so far they havemet every musical challenge and havemade good music. These concerts should beno exceptions.Should you wish to join either or both ofthese groups, auditions will be held fromDecember 3-7. Call either 962-8697 or962-8484 for information about these au¬ditions, or for concert schedules of any ofthe Music Department s performing orga¬nizations. US0-A-G0-G0by Michelle Hart“We-have only to look around us," PabloCasals reflected, "to realize how allbodies are organized and to notice theharmonious variety of anything which hasa life of its own.” Like a living organism,the University Symphony Orchestra exhib¬its this necessary diversity through itsmembers. Such a kaleidoscope of individu¬als was evident at the Orchestra’s Hallow¬een Concert. Each player and the director,Barbara Schubert, performed in uniquecostume and encouraged the audience toarrive in appropriate dress as well. Yet,all these individuals work hard to expressthemselves as one being — the orchestra— and the intensity shows.Spending his pre-college years at Jul-liard made Ben Clark realize the greatamount of time a career in music demands.Ben is a first year student in the Collegeand a violinist with both the USO and theUniversity Chamber Orchestra. AlthoughBen is here at the U. of C. because he wantsto study other things besides music, he stilltakes rehearsals very seriously. However,he is able to appreciate that the orchestrahere is “more social than at Julliard, andhere there isn’t the grim attitude towardsmusic that the competition at Julliard pro¬duces.” Ben hopes to organize some smallchamber groups in the future, but now hesimply doesn’t have the time it wouldtake.Similarly, Norman Birge is an earnestmusician. A fifth year graduate student inphysics and a trumpeter in the USO. Nor¬man found it necessary to spend a yearstudying music in a Paris conservatory. Heconsiders Ms. Schubert ‘an efficient re¬hearser” and he believes the orchestra isthe best it has been in five years.Concertmistress and Divinity School stu¬dent Linda Haydel also cites Ms. Schubertas an important factor in the integrationand success of the orchestra. She is able tounite the ninety-plus individuals in thegroup, Linda pointed out, through her se¬lection of challenging music that does notbore the more advanced players and that Zoltan Kodaly at homeimproves the less advanced ones. Lindateaches violin and often finds herself usinga lot of Ms. Schubert's techniques with herown students. Like Ben, the USO is enjoy¬able part of her life. “A big part of thisgroup is social.” Linda said, “because Isimply enjoy performing music that I likewith people that I like.”The music that gives this diverse groupits unity of purpose is selected by Ms.Schubert, always with an eye to the teach¬ing abilities of each piece. In an effort topresent more than just “the same old rep¬ertoire.” she chooses many underappre¬ciated” pieces. Last winter, Rachmanin¬off's ‘‘Isle of the Dead’’ andShastakovich’s First Symphony were notwell-received, she stated, but this year'sHalloween Concert was a good move anddid much to pique students' interest in thegroup.The USO comes together for its AutumnQuarter Concert this Saturday at 8:30 p.m.in Mandel Hall. On the program are theFirst Essay for Orchestra by American com¬poser Samuel Barber. Piano Concerto No.1 by Chopin and the Hary Janos Suite byHungarian composer Zoltan Kodaly.MOTET TETE-A-TETEby Paul ReubensHow can the distributors of The Night ofthe Comet dare call their film “the sciencefiction comedy of the year,” when the fun¬niest original thing about the movie is theprospect of spending Christmas in Los An¬geles? I'm sorry, please pardon me, I'mbeing just too cattivo: The Night of theComet, while not a perfect movie in thescience fiction genre (or any other genre,for that matter), is, if one accepts its mod¬est aspirations, a rather amusing film. Thescience fiction comedy of the year it is not;what is is is a satiric and occasionallycampy look at our (meaning the youth oftoday’s) living habits. Accept it as that,and I would say that Night of the Comethas occasional moments of brilliance.There. They can quote that if they like.In the movie’s first moments, theheroine, a cinema usher, is seen playing agame of Tempest at her job. Around herglisten the trappings of a typical Christ¬mas in California. You saw it in Annie Hall:waving palm trees, sunny skies, plasticChristmas trees with the foam rubbersnow on the branches, the whole bit. It isthe night before Earth receives a visitfrom the large celestial body that makesup the film’s title. In true Californian style(I’m allowed to be condescending, I comefrom there), the population troops to “do”their block parties, preparing the welcomefor the comet’s flyby. Within a few moreminutes, the comet passes by, sending outrays which vaporize every man, woman,and child who, lemming-like, flocked out¬side to watch. The survivors — theusherette, her sister, and a young maletruck driver — protected from the comet-JOIN THEPARTYPMNO BRUNCH END OF QUARTERPARTY SAME PLACEDIFFERENT TIMESCI-FI YUK-FESTrays by steel walls, emerge- upon Wes¬twood Village lovingly bathed in a red-filter comet ray glow, and take over thecity. Other survivors, having been turnedinto flesh-eating Zombies from the rays,try to eat the three teenagers, but beforeyou can say “gouls just wanna have fun,”they are dispatched, and the kids takeover a small metropolitan radio station.Meanwhile, in the Mojave Desert, the in¬habitants of a sinister government thinktank, also affected by the comet’s rays,turn their greedy eyes to the L.A. radiostation in their quest for blood — lots ofblood — to make a ray-counteractingserum.Does any of this sound like wild yuks toyou? Believe it or not, some of this stuff,though by no means all of it, works on thescreen. It has to work; after all, most of itccmes from other films. Clearly, to cite ob¬vious examples, George Romero's Nightand Dawn of the Dead are lifted from lib¬erally, as well as the breakdown of societyand multi-national corporation paranoiathemes that permeate the work of DavidCronenberg. Much of the plagiarism is ac¬complished charmingly; we accept it herebecause what director/writer Thom Eber-hardt lifts is not dialogue, but situation;the dialogue Eberhardt is responsible foris frequently witty, and captures well thegeneral madness of people trying to sal¬vage a collapsing and defunct society.Eberhardt is an interesting, but not inno¬vative director. I am not acquainted withany other films he has made; one rather feels that this is his big break, and if it is.he takes few risks. If the plot devices heuses are reminiscent of those of other,proven authors, his techniques of cameraare the familiar techniques of John Landis,Romero, and perhaps Cronengerg. Themyriad uses of gore, the sequences of vio¬lence, the use of dream-within-a-dream,these are all elements we have seen be¬fore, these are all elements trotted outand resurrected for our entertainmentonce again. Eberhardt could probably dosome great things, I imagine, since it is evi¬dent from his screenplay that he has asense of humor, but in The Night of theComet he doesn’t accomplsh anythingespecially new — he seems to me to be yetanother timid new director working withrather a low budget. But keep watchinghim.And Eberhardt’s screenplay really is anenjoyable work. I have already said thereis humor and camp here (most people con¬sider camp to be the lowest form of come¬dy there is, right below slapstick; I am sortof fond of it), but, alas, the script oftenseems to suffer from the same lack of ex¬perience that is present in the direction.There is a certain harshness of flow, a lackof continuity, as if the script was twoworks patched clumsily together into one— one movie of which is a very satisfyingwork indeed: the other, more clumsy andjust worse. If you'll excuse a bit of cyni¬cism, the Romero half is dandy, and theCronenberg half less so: while Eberhardtnicely captures the vulgar, and yet not un¬ charming. attitudes of consumerist teen¬agers caught at the fall of civilization, histhink tank horror movie does not have asmuch effect. To add to the sense we arewatching two separate movies, certain el¬ements of the film are discarded midwaythrough; indeed, the whole Romeroesque'living dead' hoage is chucked out the win¬dow for Cronenberg s 1984 fear-of-intel-lectual authority. There are other incontin¬uities as well: some characters die andcome back to life (real life, not zombie life)for no apparent reason other than that oldDisneyesque one that “heroes can't dieThe cast is fortunately endearingenough to bring all of these problems offwith little more than a shrug. CatherineMary Stewart and Kelli Maroney adopttheir valley-girl roles very well: they areboth attractive, and one sees them matur¬ing into people who might actually makethis new world they find themselves inwork, the lack of people to produce goodsnotwithstanding. “The burden of civiliza¬tion is on our shoulders,” the eider girlsays to her sister, while explaining hermotivation for not crossing a desertedstreet on the red light, and I can believeher.The Night of the Comet is not going to bea science fiction classic. It borrows fromtoo many other sources to ever become a“cult” movie But. one has to admit, whileit is flawed, flawed, flawed, Night of theComet is frequently cute, and graced withattractive actors. Come to think of it. thisone may even be the “science fiction come¬dy of the year.” After all, how many otherscience fiction comedies are there thisyear? Oh wait, was The Last Starfighterthis year?
