The Chicago MaroonVolume 94, No. 42 The University of Chicago Friday, April 12, 1985Benton Fellows trade media life for life of mindBy Sean EnnisMany students wistfullydream of being paid to attendcollege. But recently, for onegroup of 10 journalists, thiswish was not a dream but areality. The William BentonFoundation paid them full sa¬laries while they attendedthis University and partici¬pated in the low profile Ben¬ton Fellowship program.This program, which isbased on campus, aims main¬ly to improve the quality ofbroadcast journalism.In each of the last twoyears, the William BentonFoundation funded a newlyestablished two-quarter fel¬lowship allowing journaliststo pause in mid-career and at¬tend the University of Chica¬go. This year’s Fellows ar¬rived in the autumn and leftafter the winter quarter. Butwhy would they sacrificeprestigious jobs to participatein a new and largely experi¬mental program?Some of them simply want¬ed time away from deadlinepressures to reflect on theircareers. “I needed a break,”said Terry Anzur Clement, areporter for the local WBBMNews. ‘‘After 10 years ofworking as a professionaljournalist, I felt that my re¬porting was very superfi¬cial,” she explained.Other journalists had moreunusual reasons for coming.Peter Shaw of ABC News, aforeign correspondent for 16years, wanted to return to theUS ‘‘to get in touch withAmerica, to taste the flavor ofthings as they are in the80’s.”“At first,” said the pro¬gram’s director John Cal¬laway, “I had great fears about how broadcasterswould adapt to the Univerity.The two seemed like oil andwater.”But' the distinctions be¬tween journalists and aca¬demics, between the “realworld” and the ‘‘IvoryTower,” are probably morestereotypical than factual.“Journalism is essentiallya process of dealing with in¬formation,” said Steve Hess,one of the Fellows, “either ex¬tremely specific or generalinformation. Academics workwith information too. The dif¬ference lies in how we dealwith the information weget.”Although broadcasters andacademics were originallyuncertain about how the jour¬nalists and the universitywould mix, Callaway saidwith hindsight, “I think it’sbeen a better marriage thanwe had any right to hope.”As part of the program, theFellows attended at least twocourses per quarter, selectingclasses ranging from modernAmerican history to medicalethics. Once a week, theygathered together for a for¬mal seminar taught by facul¬ty and focusing on basic pub¬lic policy issues.Throughout their sixmonths here, the Fellows metwith many guest speakers,like Beverly Sills of the NewYork City Opera; Ed Bradleyof “60 Minutes,” and Univer¬sity president Hanna Gray.As a conclusion to their sixmonths, the Fellows partici¬pated in the first Benton Con¬ference, a two-day sympo¬sium concentrating on themedia and politics.Looking back on his sixmonths, Shaw said, “I thinkthat one of the most beneficialCSA WinnersShoreland FraternityCarl Oros James GrafRuss JohannessonS.

U of r professor orsomeone from outside the University, but was unable tofind either in a search thatlasted several months. Hesaid that the summer quarteris “not part of the regularteaching assignment.”The Chemistry departmentwill “get busy very soon to tryto find someone to teach thecourse next summer,” Ox¬toby said, adding that theyhope to arrange for the sum¬mer course to be taught on amore permanent basis. Benton Fellows speak with former New York Times LatinAmerican correspondent Raymond Bonnerthings, probably for all of usin the program, has been theinterchange between the Fel¬lows themselves, becauseamong other things, we’vepicked each other’s brainsabout the work we do—howwe do it and what our atti-.udes towards it are.”Despite their desires to re¬main at the University onemore quarter, the Fellows alllooked forward to their up¬coming return to work. “I re¬charged,” said Clement exu¬berantly. “I hope now thatwhen I do reports, I’ll be ableto give a feeling that there arecomplex questions involved,issues needing historical con¬text.”After only two years, and 18graduates, it is too early tojudge the extent of the Bentonprogram’s influence. Never¬theless, the program has al¬ready tangibly influenced re¬porting in at least one place, apublic television station nTucson, Arizona where one oflast years Fellows works. Theclasses George Bauer attend¬ed while at this University ledhim to add a segment aboutpolitical and economic affairsto his local news program so that the program now pro¬vides more political and eco¬nomic coverage, and that in sgreater depth, than in pre¬vious years.Over the long term. Cal¬laway hopes the Benton pro¬gram will bring some pastFellows into positions of lead¬ership in the broadcast in¬dustry, people who mightthen reform institutional for¬mats and approaches to jour¬nalism. Benton himself often statedthat the broadcasting in¬dustry needed reform, butcould not be expected to re¬form itself. While alive, hehad envisioned a fellowshiplike this one. a means ofchanging the industry by re¬educating its employees. De¬spite initial fears of disaster,the journalists of the Bentonprogram seem to have adapt¬ed profitably to Universitylife.New shopping center faces delaysBy Ciaran ObroinPlans for the constructionof a shopping center on thecorner of 53rd Street andHarper Avenue are stalleddue to the slow action of theChicago Department ofUrban Renewal. The firm ofLandau and Heymen wishesto buy this lot from the HydePark-Kenwood DevelopmentCorporation, but because thelot .is an urban renewal site,the sale must be approved bythe Department of UrbanRenewal.A member of the develop¬ment corporation said thatthe Department of UrbanRenewal has this issue sche¬duled for its meeting on April30th, and she does not foreseeany difficulties in gaining ap¬proval of the project. The Hyde Park-Kenwood Conser¬vation Community Council,an advisory group to the De¬partment of Urban Renewal,has already approved thesale.Mr. Heyman. of Landauand Heyman. said the firmplans to build a four-storeshopping center on the 8000square foot lot to be opened inthe Fall of 1985. Heyman saidthat “Unless a decision isreached soon, the date ofcompletion will have to bemoved.” He added that thereare no particular problemswith the sale and attributesthe delay to “red tape.” Be¬cause of the pending nature ofthe sale, Heyman declined toname the prospective tenantsof the shopping center, but hedid reveal that a bookstore,an optical department, a women's sports wear' store,and a gourmet ice creamstore would be located thereMore than 20 inquiries weremade by companies wishingto open a store there. Heymanalso feels that the center willrely mostly on local shoppers,but feels that U of C patron¬age is just as important. Lan¬dau and Heyman have buildseveral large shopping mallsin the midwest.Drawings for the one-storyshopping center have beenmade by the Stowell CookFrolichstein architecturalfirm. The roof of the shoppingcenter will be made of ternemetal, an alloy of lead and tinthat weathers very well.Hey¬man said he was very pleasedwith the design and said thatit would add a great deal toHarper Court.Prospective students pay visitOver 400 expected for April extravaganzaThis is the first of two week¬ends for prospective students(Or “prospies” as they arecommonly known) the week¬ends when high school seniorswho have been admitted willvisit the College. About 150prospective students are ex¬pected this weekend. The ad¬missions office anticipates250 seniors will attend the sec¬ond weekend, April 16-18.Prospies arrive Thursdaynight and will stay until Sat¬urday afternoon. The admis¬sions office had plannedmodel classes, campus tours,college programs, meetingsand other informational ses¬sions throughout the week¬end.Ted O’Neill, associate deanof admissions, noted that dueto an aggressive StudentSchools Committee (SSC),most prospective studentswill be housed in the dorms,rather than in off-campus ac¬commodations. O’Neill said that this spirit of voluntarismis unusual at the U of C be¬cause. “It’s not as time-hon¬ored that students volunteerhere.” About eighty percent of the400 students who attend thetwo prospie weekends willthen choose to attend the U ofC, O'Neill said.GREY CITY:HOLYMADONNA2The Chicago Maroon—Friday, April 12, 1985jerfo WW-BJ*Tltc Program in the Liberal Arts and Sciencespasie ro Human Bwlcay and Medicinepresents a lecture onThe Biopsychcsockl Approachto the PatmutIu’ Interaction opMtml, Brain, and Body9viChase P kimbdll M.D.Professor, Departments of Psychiatryatui Medicine and the CollegeTuesday, April IP, 7-boHarper 150-til interested persons are invited to attend.There and he a reception mth the speakerin Harper ZM follcm'iihj the lecture.

These are the two mainmessages of the Benton Fellows, basedon their limited encounters with stu¬dents here.“The thing we’ve noticed here is thehesitation on the part of students to askquestions,” said Steve Hess, one Ben¬ton Fellow. “In every class we’ve beenin, we ask all the questions, because weare not intimidated. Asking questionsis our business.”“Don’t be afraid to be curious,” said Gregory Larsen, another Benton Fel¬low. “I think a lot of people sit back andlisten to professors’ lectures. Whetherthe professor is saying something thestudents agree with or not, many willnot question. You should confront andchallenge. This place is really built foracademic challenge. ’ ’Larsen aims one further comment atstudents. “This school really has a po¬tential to become one-dimensional, tomake students solely students and notnecessarily people.”Richard Ayre, a Benton Fellow fromEngland’s BBC, is fluent about this one-dimensionality. “From what littleI’ve observed, I’m depressed by theprofound seriousness of studentstoday. I can understand the economicand social pressures increasingly onAmerican students to get a good educa¬tion and a good job. I would wish thatmany students took themselves lessseriously or life less seriously becauseif they take life so seriously at the ageof 18, 19, 20, or 21, they’re going to bemost depressingly depressed people bythe time they’re my age.“Academic attainment is enormous¬ly important, but I still happen to be¬ lieve, and maybe this is a hangover ofthe 60’s culture in which I grew up, butI believe the principle benefit of beingat a university is the meeting of otherpeople, the talking with other people,the arguing, the positive fighting andnot the textbooks or the examinations.“I could almost guarantee that 90percent of students, when they lookback 10 years after they’ve finishedtheir degrees, will think, ‘Gee, I had somany opportunities to just fool aroundand enjoy myself and learn about life.Why didn’t I take advantage ofthem?”’The Program’s founder...

The foundation paid tuition andtravel costs, subsidized apartment ren¬tals, and paid the Fellows a stipendequal to their regular salary.In 1958 William Benton gave theFoundation its initial endowment, agift of Encyclopedia Britannica stock.The Foundation’s, and hence the Fel¬lowship’s, survival depends upon thecontinued profit of Encyclopedia Bri¬tannica, whose dividends provide theFroundation with its funds.Besides acting as chairman and pu-bisher of Encyclopedia Britannica,Benton origniated and owned Muzak;and he was a senator—the first one todemand McCarthy’s censure and ex¬pulsion from the senate. The singingradio commercial largely owes its con¬ception to him, as does UNESCO. Hisrelations with this university were ex¬tensive. Under Hutchins, from 1937 to1945, Benton was vice president of theUniversity of Chicago, and he laterserved as a trustee of the University. The Benton Foundation charged theUniversity with developing a programin 1981, eight years after Benton’sdeath, and the first Fellows arrived oncampus in the autumn of 1983. The pro¬gram reflects Benton’s concern withimproving the broadcast industry andhis interest in the University of Chica¬go. Its purpose is “to give broadcastjournalists an opportunity to increasetheir knowledge in areas of public poli¬cy, sharpen their analytical skills, andreflect on issues facing their professionin ways not possible under deadlinepressure.” For the most part, accord¬ing to the Fellows, this purpose wasachieved.The Benton Fellowship is unusualcompared to other journalistic fellow¬ships, like those at Harvard or Stan¬ford, particularly in excluding printmedia journalists from its ranks and inlasting only six months. For profes¬sional journalists in mid-career andcontemplating a fellowship, a short sixmonth fellowship seems much more at¬tractive than a nine month one. As arule, though, once the six months haveactually passed, the Fellows wish theprogram lasted nine months.

I know this fromexperience. Last Saturday at about10:00 a.m. some guy from the StudentSchools Committee came to my doorall bright-eyed and bushy-tailed andasked “How’d you like to host a Pro¬spie?” Normally on Saturdays I like toget up about the crack of noon andnurse a little coffee, so at the ungodlyhour of ten you can imagine that I wasnot, as Russ Miller would say, at myanalytical best. (I guess it comes fromliving on the quads.) Nonetheless,there I stood in my Fruit-of-the-looms,holding the door open to Mr. Sunshine,thinking to myself: “Think up a reallyclever excuse.” I replied: “no”. Myprospie arrived yesterday at four.Every damn Spring it’s the samething.So I, like many others, am faced withthe age-old question: “Now what?”Perhaps you are asking yourself:“How can I help these young, impres¬sionable seekers of truth?” If you areyou’ve missed the point entirely. Comeon. you took Econ 200, didn't you? Youshould ask: “What is the utility max¬imizing solution to this situation?” (i.e.What’s in it for me?) Your actions thisweekend should be specifically tailoredfor your own personal gain, and thereare hundreds of ways to do just that.The prospie program has one exploit¬able aspect that should definitely betaken advantage of: we now have theability to screen at least part of nextyear’s entering class.First of all, remember your prospiehas had a rough day. Yesterday, therewas that incident when his parentstried to check into the Hyde ParkArms. Chances are good that he gotquite a scare when he took a wrongturn off the map in the Admissions Of¬fice pamphlet A Self-Guided Tour toHyde Park/Woodlawn. By this time heis probably a wreck and totally open toany lies you tell him about the Univer¬sity. The more bodacious the better,he’ll think: “That’s so ridiculous itmust be true.” So, definitely try to becreative.What you should actually say to yourprospie. or how good a time you showhim depends on your situation. Re¬member, creativity is the key to belie-vability so think about this stuff. Justas food for thought, I thought I’d in¬clude some examples to get you start¬ed.Situation 1) You are a bitter humanbeing. You were led to believe that Chi¬cago is a fun-loving party school. Yougot here as a student and found out thatthe only good parties are held on twoweekends in April. In addition, youcan’t find any drugs and they startedcarding at Kimbark. Plato was a fag¬got and you wish you were at State U.You don’t even like chicken. Chicagodoesn’t know how to make pizza andyour room-mate snores.Response: Take your prospie to aFrat party. Tell him that there arealways one or eight parties on campus,even on weeknights. (Remember, thisis your big chance to get even.) Situation 2 You like your house in thewonderful, faultless College HousingSystem and want to have all of nextyear’s Freshmen be of the “right”type. The important thing to re¬member is that in the Housing Systemthere is a place for everyone and ev¬eryone should be in his or her place.This leads to several options.Response A (for an obvious futureNobel Prize Winner): Tell him: I don’tlike it here in the Shoreland. Everyonewho lives here is a sexual degenerateor a dope addict. I wish I had requestedBurton-Judson on my housing ques-tionaire; I wish I had been warned.Response B (for a real Spiccoli): Nomatter where you live, or how awful itreally is you should tell him: “Yeah, Ilike this house a lot, I just wish I couldThe Adventures of RegmanBy SkipIt was a night just like any othernight, and I was trying to stave off thecold Chicago night with a cup of coffeeat my favorite watering hole. It was asmall place, without a lot of atmo¬sphere, in fact some would even «,«ykind of cavernous. Anyway this tittlefive and dime place was still hke ahome away from home for me, but Iguess that’s the way Ex Libris is to ev¬eryone who patronizes it.On this particular night you could seethat something wasn’t right. You see,after a while you can tell what a wholeneighborhood just by how Frankie thenewsboy is shouting “read all aboutit,” or even by how the garbage smells.Well that night I didn’t have to do any¬thing more than look on the faces of theregular denizen- of the place to tellthat something wa terribly amiss.Sure there wer outward signs ofnormal activity going on, but beneathit, there wa^ a net of tension thatdraped all of the regulars down there stay here after graduation”.Situation 3 Your house came in #3 forI.M’s overall. If you just had a few re¬ally burly Freshmen next year, you’dbe all set.Response A (for the potential Olym¬pic contender): Tell him: “Yeah, thegirls really dig Chamberlin men. Real¬ly, they do!Response B (for the future Reg Rat):Tell him: “This house is full of dumbjocks. You can’t get any decent conver¬sation around here. I wish I lived inHitchcock. Yeah, request Hitchcock!They could use a guy like you!”Situation 4 Your prospie is from NewJersey.Response: Advise your prospie onthe advantage of a single room. Tellhim to request that as his first choice:that night. Milt the B-School Jockeyfelt it too, for his eyes were shiftingmore than usual from his copy of theWall Street Journal. Johnny the chem-god felt it too, and was acting moreself-conscious than normal; you see,Johnny was always worried that his“cool” punk friends would find out thathe secretly worked at a chem lab tosupport himself through school. Yeah,something had definiteiy made every¬one feel slightly uncomfortable, poss¬ibly someone from the outside had bro¬ken into our free-haven, or perhapssomeone was on the lam, or even theworst of the worst — someone’s finan¬cial aid was cut.Well, all I had to do was look to myleft to see that it was someone from theoutside who was causing so muchunrest. There she was, all five footeight of her, with legs that moved allthe way up to her Jane Russell chest.Her blonde hair shone with that specialradiance that only Regenstein lightingcan produce, and she was wearing this preferably in BJ. No one should have toshare a double with somone from NewJersey.Many people come to me and theyask: “Joe, I’d love to mislead propsiesfor personal gain, but I have this moraldilemma. What if some poor child com¬mits himself to four years of this hellall because I told him really bodaciouslies?” I say to them: “have no moreworries, my son, all is forgiven if youalso take your prospie to Harold’sChicken Shack. Harold’s is the essenceof the U of C experience. Like the fineprint in your housing contract, if hesigns on the dotted line after havingbeen duly warned of the truth by a tripto 53rd Street he has no one to blamebut himself if he doesn’t have a goodtime next fall.”low-cut red dress that showed shemeant business.At that point, I felt the same kind ofbittersweet excitement that all of theothers probably felt. She had the kindof come-hither look that would makeeven the coldest man’s blood boil, and Icertainly hadn’t just come down fromthe Arctic. By the time she wriggledacross the room, my mercury levelwas rising fast and if I didn’t do some¬thing quick, then it would shootthrough the top. So I got up to ask her ifshe wanted to blow this little popsiclestand and go to this smoky little jazzclub I knew of on the South Side. As Igot up, I reached into my pocket to getmy keys, and a candy bar appeared outof nowhere, and with that stroke I de¬cided that destiny had decided mymove was pre-mature, so I decided toleave. When I got home, I thought backto that one fateful moment when timehad stood still, and with that thoughtand candy-bar, The Adventures of Reg¬man were born.LATERTAKE ME fouXEI'M Yours. alums LET ME SUP/HTO SOMETHING-MOPE COMfDFTABLEJ M/TMM6,mm rmuAmAjh i'll just/ SUP THISJ BOL&OTAPElM.S 7, 7/5 IS BeYoMb My WLbESTWUaMS, LET Me SEE IF Ipe \4embeael a&tyrH/A/G,..5AEATU FPESHEMEF)P£TKolEuMI LSLLYj PUSHCS, PLAST1CS(?XRx&ar My..._ /'av)** aO*1%7; 1 AMUST HAVE 8BEM j^uAsAWFULOME fell of aM/MTMaae/ I T V Mlb THEHMEMEVTTDHEPPLACE, by Skip and JoelTIGEX!

Chansky misses point on baseball expansionTo the editor:Rarely does a writer state somethingso poorly that he manages both an in¬accurate topic and completely falsesupporting evidence. Yet, this is preci¬sely what Chansky does while assess¬ing the probability of Washington, DC’sacquiring a baseball franchise. Con¬sider Chansky’s general statementconcerning the likelihood of such an ac-quistion: “No chance.” Not only doesChansky show that he does not knowhow to construct a sentence but he alsoillustrates his ignorance concerningthe Washington sports scene.His crude reference (“DC is a twotime loser”) to what he perceives asWashington’s inability to support abaseball team is sensationalistic andsimplistic. Washington’s lack of sup¬port for the first Senator teamstemmed from the team’s inability towin. The Senators, sold in 1961, man-agprl only two winning cpasnns in the twenty-five years prior to their sale.The second Senator team left Washing¬ton because a rich owner decided hewould rather they played in Arlington,Texas.With regard to “no baseball teamcan compete with the Redskins,” nobaseball team has to compete with theRedskins because they play at dif¬ferent times of the year. Furthermore,the Washington Capitals, who do com¬pete with the Redskins, have proven tobe one of the National Hockey League’stop drawing cards. As for those “artifi¬cial Washington fans,” they have prov¬en to be among the most loyal in thecountry by selling out RFK Stadiumlonger than the average U of C sopho¬more has been alive.Finally, the notion that Washingtonis not a lucrative market for baseball isabsurd.

Seek them out, asso many Chicagoans have, in their fa¬vorite Hyde Park haunts, away fromthe seriousness of the track world. Notonly will you quickly learn why theyare the class of the Midwest AthleticConference, but you’ll take them toheart. As track aficionado MarthaStanek notes, “You know, they workhard, and they play hard. They’re real¬ly fun guys, as anyone who has seentheir off-track hijinks can tell you.”The funniest of the bunch is, by allaccounts, practical joker Paul Ellenbo-gen. He tickles the team’s funny bonewith his innovative pranks - like thetime he put Ben-Gay on every¬one’s... well, you get the picture. “Butthe funniest thing he ever did,” saysteam spokesman and taste arbiterPete Di Teresa, “was the time he - getthis - left the emergency brake out onthe van, and Gary Levenson and KevinNelson were out stretching in the park¬ing lot. You should have seen the lookson their faces when that ol‘ Dodgebacked over them: Big yuks allaround! Even Gary and Kevin had tolaugh when they saw the snapshotsPaul took.” With his repertoire ofwhoopee cushions, squirting flowers,and chattering teeth, Paul keeps theteam in stitches.Sometimes he gets free-spirited Ste¬phen Thomas to help him out. Only afreshman, this all-conference cross¬country and track runner looks like theheir apparent to funnyman Ellenbo-gen. But Stephen isn’t anxious to as¬sume Paul's title, or any title, for. asPete observes, “Stephen doesn’t wantto be down.” When he’s not busy shirk¬ing responsibilities, independent Ste¬phen likes to go off by himself and getback to nature. “I like moonlit strolls through the woods, whittling, andskinny-dipping,” this free spirit gushedonce in a moment of rare candor.Sensible Guy Yasko keeps the trackteam from going too far. When Paul ar¬ranged 4 a.m wake-up calls for every¬one at Spring Arbor last year, Guyquietly canceled them, pointing outthat Coach Ted Haydon needed hissleep. “Guy’s got a good head on hisshoulders,” comments Pete, “and ev¬eryone loves his ’aw shucks’ personali¬ty.” After Guy won the 600-yd. run atthe indoor conference championship,his afiectionate teammates showedtheir respect for his good sense bydousing him with cold beer in the show¬er. “As sensible as he is, he had it com¬ing,” says Pete. Since alcohol is not al¬lowed in the Field House, a minoruproar ensued after the shower inci¬dent, but Athletic Director Mary JeanMulvaney refused to press chargesagainst the athletes. “Boys will be boys,” she chuckled.But the track team isn't all fun andgames Stalwart half-miler John Sey-kora exemplifies the team’s seriousside. “They call me Mister Big,” statesJohn, “and though I don’t think I de¬serve the title, I’m stuck with it, and Ihave to keep up my image. I have obli¬gations to the public.” John fulfills hisobligations by teaching blind childrento read Braille and working in soupkitchens. When he’s not helping his fel¬low man, Mr. Big likes to titrate (atechnical term beyond the scope of thisarticle) and engage in water sports.Senior Adam Vodraska is the teamconscience, a diff cult role to fill, giventhe team’s fun-loving nature. “Many ahotel manager has publicly thankedAdam for shaming us into not trashinghotel rooms,” says Pete. “I don’t knowwhat we’d do without him,” WhenAdam can’t mange to limit the team’sdamage, he makes sure the boisterous runners compensate their victims. Inhis spare time, of which he has so little,Adam enjoys working for social pro¬gress, watching PBS specials, andbeing kind to animals.The spiritual leaders of the track-sters are juniors Mike Rabieh and PaulUlrich. Mike wasn’t always interestedin track. “I considered going out forthe baseball team,” he admits, “butwhen I realized playing baseballmeans having to wear your shorts overyour sweat pants, I said, ‘No way!’ ”Since he came to track after serious re¬flection upon what running trackmeans to the indomitable humanspirit, Mike takes track especiallyseriously. He ensures that his team-mats realize just how good track is fortheir souls.Paul Ulrich always has a kind wordfor everyone. “He’s a Rock of Gibral¬tar,” observes Pete. “He’s a shouldercontinued on page 12Revamped ruggers begin home scheduleThe University of Chicago RugbyClub opens its spring season this Satur¬day against the Fox Valley Maoris.Scheduled for 1 p.m. on the newly-ren¬ovated Jackson Park rugby pitch, lo¬cated at 63rd and Cornell, Saturday’sevent promises a full measure of bothjarring contact and lyrical grace as thelighter, more agile U of C club at¬tempts to take on the full fury of themuch heavier Fox Valley squad. In theonly previous encounter, held at FoxValley in October, 1983, the small —but slow — Maroon side was unable tocounter the inexorable onslaughtmounted by the Maori squad of well-camouflaged oxen, and w'ere soundlycrushed in an afternoon of unmitigatedslaughter.However, the U of C club that willenter the fray tomorrow bears little re¬semblance to the schoolboys who weretaught such a painful lesson in 1983.Buoyed by extensive personnelPRINTSFOR THEPRICE 4OF IJust bring in any size Kodacolor film for quality developingand printing by Kodak Order one set of prints at the regularprice, and you'll get a second set free to share with friends.But Hurry!

Ledby Bill “Bruisemaster” Dennett, thescrum will also benefit from the contri¬butions of veterans John Golden andMike Ettinger. Dennett, who considershimself in the prime of his rugby ca¬reer, sees the agility and youngbloodedelan which pervades U of C’s highlyenthusiastic team as the principalMaroon advantage over the older,more experienced, yet slower Maoriforwards. Said Dennett after a particu¬larly demanding Thursday practice. “Obviously, our youth and speed willbe most important this Saturday. If wecan’t outmaneuver them in the openfield, and if we let them keep us inclose, they’ll be as tough as wood¬pecker’s lips.”The B-squad is also looking forwardto a very successful season this spring.Captain Robert Douglas Hadley, a ris¬ing star in the rugby club, predicts thatthe killer B’s will most definitely shedtheir old nickname, the B-killed. Espe¬cially in the pack, where the lust for thegame (not to mention the glory) ofAlex McLean and Tim Landon shouldprove decisive, the Maroons will field aB-side that has much more skill anddepth than in previous years. PeteWinthorp (aka Pete Pappas) put it infine terms when he said, “Are we menor mice? This is irrelevant, because wearen’t chopped liver any more. Pategras is in our past.”FASTSPEEDYRAPIDSWIFTPRONTO FASTQUIK CROSS INSTANT PRINTING INC.PRINTING...IF YOU NEED IT FAST WE’RE AS NEAR AS YOUR PHONE...OUR SERVICES INCLUDE• TYPESETTING• PHOTO DUPLICATING• BULK PRINTING• ENVELOPES• LETTER HEADS• BUSINESS CARDS CALL 684-7070• CHURCH BULLETINS• THESIS-TERM PAPERS• FOLDING• COLLATING• BINDING• WEDDING INVITATIONSQUIKCROSS IntroducingTwo Day ResumeServiceWe Will:— Design— Typeset— Reproduceyour resume intwo daysHyde Park Bank Bldg.1525 E. 53rd St. 'Suite 626While you wait instant printing 684-7070Qao,^ UNIVERSITY CARRENTAL5508 SO.

If there indeedwas a sale in 1961, it was all in the fami¬ly. But escape from Washington seemsto have done the Twins well, becausealthough they were first in war, first inpeace, and last in the AmericanLeague as the Senators, they made it tothe World Series in 1965 as the Twins.And if my memory serves me, whenthe Mets traded a few minor leaguersto get Senators' manager Gil Hodges,Hodges took the Mets, and equallyhopeless expansion team, to the WorldSeries in his second year. Now, as forthe Texas Rangers, nobody reallycares that they're alive because whilethey do not compete head-to-head withthe mighty Dallas Cowboys, they playin the Cowboys’ considerable shadow,and have never been able to win fans oftheir own who live and die according tothe team’s fate. — DACQnli®-~ir7~TKENNEDY, RYAN, MONIGAL & ASSOC.5508 South Lake Park667-6666OPEN HOUSES OPEN HOUSESSUNDAY APRIL 14th2:00 - 4:00 PM1366 East Madison ParkY.

AmsterdamA tale of the wonderful excesses and in¬dulgences of young Americans will alwaysattract an audience. Desperately SeekingSusan is a tale told well. This is a playfulmovie (not a “film”) about a mousetrapped in Fort Lee, NJ and a cat on theprowl in Greenwich Village, NY. The storymoves with the slickness and speed of a cuisinart on the tenth setting.In Fort Lee, we have Roberta (RosannaArquette), as a stereotypically jumpy su¬burban housewife of four years. Sheexists for the excitement of watching soapopera adultery, experimenting with hair¬styles and enviously reading the “person¬als” for news of the travels of Susan.On the corner, we have Susan (Madon¬na!) robbing a passing lover en route toManhattan to meet her real boyfriend.(The two communicate with each otherthrough the personals.) Sunglasses,leather, chains and all, Susan stalks Wash¬ington Square Park seductively eatingCheese Doodles. Withon one hour, shefinds a place to stay and a pair of studdedboots.Like a virgin, Roberta drives thePorsche into Sin City to voyeuristically fol¬low Susan. Instead, she winds up in bedwith Susan’s boyfriend’s best friend, Dez(Aidan Quinn). These things happen. Com¬plications ensue: Egyptian earrings stolenand lost, jackets traded, PG -13 romanc¬ing, people getting hit on the head, andthere is even an albino jewel thief. Inshort, the storyline is as thin as Roberta’sMelba Toast. (However, we do not blamethe weakness of the ending on the auteur.According to the Village Voice of April 2, itwas insisted upon by the “studio”.) Don’tcome for the yarn, because all you will findis a thread that would have barelystitched a 1950’s C movie together. Va¬guely feminist themes rear their uglyheads every now and then, but this story is hardly a social commentary. Enoughabout that.There is the suspicion that the moviemay have been constructed around a popstar’s “image.” That is enough precedentto expect a weak result. This is not thecase and, with the aid of that surprise, theproduction is seen to be smooth and veryimpressive. There are no AcademyAwards here, but everyone has profes¬sional timing, smart dialogue and skilleddirection. Each joke earns its laugh andthat is not easy to do.The casters deserve their credit, too.Aidan Quinn (who has just finished playingHamlet at the Wisdom Bridge, here in thegrey city) is charming and confused. Ro¬sanna Arquette (Baby, It's You), the epito¬me of “fresh and vibrant,” fills her rolewith the appropriate awe and bewilder¬ment. (None of the characters ((except Ma¬donna)) seem to know exactly where theyare in the story, but that is a function ofthe plot.) Roberta’s sister-in-law. playedby Laurie Metcalf, delivers some of thebest lines as testimonials to the bored lifein Fort Lee. Right down to the extras, ev¬eryone is functional and funny. Also, lookfor Annie Carlisle (Liquid Sky) as Dez’s ex,and Richard Hell (the Voidoids) as Susan’sex.Now, lets talk about Madonna. (She andJellybean Benitez are splitsville. She justtook Sean Penn away from ElizabethMcGovern. These things happen.) Withinthese pages, this charming woman hasbeen justifiably accused of materialism, exploiting her feminine assets to get whatshe wants (“Like, Aversion,” Laura Saltz,March 8, 1985). Madonna, according tothe article, needs success, and her para¬doxical image of being “ridiculous andthreatening.” “playmate” and “MissAmerica,” seems to suit her purpose.Hence, a joke and star, in one fell swoop.This does not make her the anti-Christ,though. I have no problems with this at all.Prince Rogers Nelson, for example, is justas flamboyant as Madonna Louise Ciccone,and his lyrics are not nearly as subtle.Let's face it, Top Forty is a lot of hype. Andmany people are guilty of taking fashionhints from these egomaniacs. (Says Ma¬donna. “I’d like to see every girl in Ameri¬ca dressed up like me.” Don’t worry, Ma¬donna, we re on your side.) Consequently,we’re living in a video world. Yes, thequality of the music is undermined in allthis. Sorry, MTV, is no art gallery.Compared to the character of Madonna.Susan has a less vivid picture of what shewants. Sne is Madonna, out of control.Think about that for a while. The acting re¬quired for this part is not difficult andMiss Ciccione carries herself very well.She’s so fine and she is another shiny facetof the movie.Susan Seidelman, director, has put to¬gether an invigorating and innocent mix¬ture of comedy, suspense and romance.Desperately Seeking Susan (SeekingSoHo?) is a sample and satire (yes, there'sthat contradiction again) of the hedonisticlife on both sides of the Hudson River.To the Editor:I read with tremendous amusementLaura Saltz’s evaluation of Madonna.Time and again some feminist leadershave felt that they can impose certain rolemodels and behavioral preferences on allwomen — this has sometimes had severeadverse reactions — superiorizing the ca¬reer woman, for example, led to the unit¬ed support extended to Phyllis Schlafly bynon-career-oriented women in her anti-ERA movement; the rejection of GeraldineFerraro by a majority of women votersand the growth of alternative feministgroups, like the Feminists for Life, can alsobe partially attributed to this attitude.Ms. Saltz’s tirade against Madonna,too, seems to be mainly because she (Ma¬donna) isn't conforming to the “accredit¬ed” role models as set down by some fe¬minists. Actually, Madonna goes muchfurther than the feminist movement — herliberation and self-realization is not justas a woman but as a human being whoseintellect and emotions aren’t narroweddown by the gender factor. The womanwho starts out as a material girl living inand conforming to a material world redis¬covers herself through her sexuality in“Like A Virgin”, — this time no longer as acommodity that can be bought and soldbut rather as a human value, as an intrin¬sic aspect of her personality. Once thisself-realization has been attained, shedoes not hesitate to express feelings likesubmissiveness and helplessness — feel¬ings which are integral elements of a totalhuman experience. She does not reject orridicule these feelings — rather, she recog¬nizes them as genuine human emotionsand sympathizes with them. In doing soshe is subjugating herself to none — ahuman emotion stands threatened onlywhen an exploitive system commoditizesit — Madonna, however, liquidates this ca¬pitalistic, materialistic, utilitarian, reduc¬tionist treatment of human values — hernonassertive emotions express them¬selves in full self-respect and power andas such, retains the strength to thwart anexploitive system that might try to take advantage of it. Ms. Saltz has correctlyrecognized the dualism in Madonna; whatshe has failed to realize is that this dua¬lism reflects the extremities of the totalhuman experience — Madonna is the unifi¬cation of the dominatrix and the sex-kit¬ten, of the human being in glory and thehuman being in wilderness, of pride andhumility — each standing with freedomand dignity subjugated neither to themale nor to feminism. Madonna has taughtus more about ourselves than Socrates,Buddha, Thomas Aquinas, or Freud everdid. Her popularity is a welcome relieffrom the mushiness of Bruce Springsteenand the exhibitionist shenanigans ofPrince.In a way, this onslaught against Madon¬na reminds me of the severe accusations ofimpropriety and obscenity leveledagainst Michelangelo by ecclesiasticalwriters like Gilio da Fabriano for paintingnudes in the Last Judgement fresco. Todayit seems incredible that these commenta¬tors, notwithstanding the ability of someof them to recognize the technical excel¬lence of this work, failed to see the intensespirituality behind it. In a repitition of his¬tory, a section of feminists today are un¬able to recognize the singer who is carvingthe path of feminism’s ultimate triumph.Amlan RayChaudhuryGraduate Student,Biological SciencesSome words from the woman who hastaught us so much about ourselves:“Manipulating people, that's what I’mgood at.” The Face, February 1985.“You are attracted to men who have ma¬terial things because that's what pays therent and buys you furs.

Kennedy, i960.You know, prolegomena (as in Kant’sProlegomena to Any Future Metaphysics)— sort of, or a clarification of, a groundfor future moves. My friend Mike Kotzetells this great story. He’s at this concert,and he’s standing near these four subur¬ban matrons, close enough to hear the fol¬lowing conversation.

WHY LARRY KART IS WRONG ABOUTWYNTON MARSALIES, EVEN THOUGHKART MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE ATTENDEDTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO.Larry Kart has the best job title — or theworst, depending upon how you look atthese things — in the city of Chicago. Hecurrently reigns as the “Nightlife Editor”of the Chicago Tribune. Actually, he isbeing listed as an “Entertainment Editor"now, but we all know that the section heworks for in the Sunday edition — the“Arts” section — was once called “Arts &Fun,” so I think we are justified in callingKart by his former title. In fact, I think heshould be called the “Nitelife” editor, youknow, in the same way that somethingfunny can be referred to as a “Laff Riot.”Now, in his position as “Nitelife Editor,”Kart — who I once heard was a product ofthe U. of C., but don’t quote me — has tend¬ed to trash most major young jazz musi¬cians, our friend Wynton being the pri¬mary target. Actually, David Murray isthe primary target, but that’s anotherstory. So, Wynton is seen by Kart as partof this “neo-classic” movement in jazz,whereby young musicians seek to “getback” as they said in the sixties to somefundamentals, to some roots of the musicas opposed to pushing farther into the ex-perimentalism that, interestingly enough,was dominant in the sixties (and earlier)as part of the “New Thing” movement. Orsomething like that. I mean, if you wantjazz history, go read Martin Williams TheJazz Tradition. What I’m interested in iscultural weirdness, and Larry Kart attack¬ing one of the most interesting young mu¬sicians (jazz or otherwise) on the scene be¬cause he doesn’t meet some preconceivednotion of what “jazz” should be strikes meas something only a fool, or someone edu¬cated at th U. of C., or both, would do. Sothat's enough of the hisiory and criticismthing.III. HOW I MET WYNTON MARSALIS IN NEWYORK AT BLOOMINGDALE’S AND WHAT ITMEANS TO AMERICAN POPULAR CUL¬TURE.I was in Nueva York visiting a friend ofmine who was about to leave for England, and though we hadn’t much time to spendtogether, we agreed to take her littlebrother shopping so her mom could havesome free time. So, we went to Blooming-dale’s, a store I had avoided since the firsttime I was in the city. Now I appreciate thestore, since I no longer maintain the rigidcultural hatreds of my youth, but at thetime I felt it was just the worst, although Ifelt a strong attraction to anything with aRalph Lauren label on it And I knew thisto be true, at the time, which was some¬where around the end of the Jimmy Carteryears, because the place reeked with thestench of easy money, fast credit, and no¬money-down payments. I have come to ap¬preciate these things as part of a vast un¬changing system of weirdness which wecall “America,” but at the time I wasyoung and callow and feckless. So it waswith a little shock that I saw Wynton Mar¬salis standing next to me observing theRalph Lauren shirts. I wanted to lean overand say “Wynton, sir, you are a fine musi¬cian.” But I got hung up with the “Sir”part because he’s a lot younger than meand I was really worried about getting oldand dying at that point in my life, so I justsmiled* and Wynton smiled back. At thispoint in his career, Wynton was playingwith the likes of Herbie Hancock and com¬ing on like a young Miles Davis — stylish,brash, no-nonsense. It wasn’t until yearslater, last year in fact, when Wynton wonthe Grammy’s heart and attention awayfrom its obsession with Michael Jacksonwith a speech condemning bad taste inpopular music, that I realized Wynton wasas great an image as he was a musician,and that this is the source of some of hisproblems. I mean, his Young Lion personais tremendous, for it is the perfect articu¬lation of what is truly a love of music andperformance and a sense of tradition inthe best sense, tradition was discipline tobe practiced and a history to be respected.That is to say. Wynton is honest in his de¬votion to the gods of truth and taste. Butthis makes him easy to be used, not onlyby the Nitelife Editors of this vale of tears,who seek to see him as a facile typeagainst whom they can place their ownpersonal favorites, but by those who don'tknow anything about music but are sensi¬tive to style and who can say “this isjazz,” name it, and dismiss it. “Oh yeah, by David KayConsidering the awareness of film stylesand techniques exhibited by the Coenbrothers in their feature film premiereBlood Simple, I imagine that they’ve seenor at least heard of the masterful study ofmanners and mores made by Max Ophulsin 1953; and yet for all the savvy theyhave mustered for this production, theCoens have fallen short of what mighthave been The Chrome Plated .38 of Ma¬dame de....As Ophuls’ story drew from the farces ofMoliere and Feydeu, the Coens have se¬questered the works of James M. Cain andDashiell Hammet. (The title in fact refersto a phrase from Hammet’s Red Harvest inwhich the characters who engage in mur¬derous double crosses go crazy and be¬come “blood simple.”) Though they do notdishonor their sources, neither do they ele¬vate them to the magical level attained byOphuls. Both stories involve a love trian¬gle in which each of the members feel thattheir situations transcend the legal andethical conventions of their time. CharlesBoyer’S Count de... and Dan Hedeya’ssleazy bar owner (even in the guise of M.Emmet Walsh) feel that their money andposition give them a right to commitmurder. Similarly, as the interlopers, Vit¬torio De Sica and John Getz feel that ro¬mantic love justifies their behavior; andfor the wives (Danielle Durieux andFrances McDormand) unhappiness is rea¬son enough to defy and deceive their hus¬bands. Unfortunately the characters inBlood Simple don’t register with any vita¬lity beyond their status as devices to pro¬gress the narrative, and it doesn’t seemthe fault of the actors. Instead I would citethe directorial decisions to shock, titillate,and beguile the audience as responsiblefor confining the results to a visceral exer¬ cise.Both films involve a seif referentialstyle and yet the Coens' film fails to buildan artistic motivation in which their for¬midable formal skills can flourish. Thegraceful gliding camera of The Earrings ofMadame de... resonates and intensifiesthe characters’ abilities to breach the spa¬tial barriers that become irrelevant incomparison to their swirling egos. Thethree wave systems of the central charac¬ters collide and interfere until they formone composite vortex of misery at thegrim conclusion of the film. Ophuls' bat¬tery of techniques builds dramatic appre¬ciation of the players, which while no lessdistant, is at once compassionate and criti¬cal as well as entertaining. Coen's charac¬ters, however, become a collection of gro¬tesques as he sends them through lightingand scenery that makes Texas look like ahome for the criminally insane. Withoutthe weight of personal involvement fromthe creators the movie becomes a jokethat the audience is meant to play on theactors, and even Lawrence Kasdan avoid¬ed snide condescension ip his pulp revivalBody Heat.Ophul s film was about the death of ro¬mance and melodrama and while both con¬ventions seem to be making a comeback inthe modern cinema, he was able to crafthis portraits with a clarity and convictionrarely seen in modern art. Blood Simpleisn't about much of anything and while itsplot tricks and some of its moods are quiteclever and enjoyable, the film works moreas a resume showing movie producers howmuch these boys can do with a low budgetand no stars. For entertainment, they’vedone very well, but the Coens must realizethat what makes something very useful isdifferent from what makes it art.LETTER: I AM NOT A FEMINISTLeonard Nimoy as Friedrich Nietzsche in TheLife of Nietzsche (1973).Wynton Marsalis is good, I saw him on theGrammys.” Like it or not, this may be thedominant attitude of most of the crowd atthe show on Saturday. I don't know howthis relates to Bloomingdale's, except thatWynton is a fine dresser and will be look¬ing sharp on stage. But let’s keep it atthat, ok? “He dresses well” and ’He's afine musician” are both true statementsabout the man, but not necessarily thesame, as in “He dresses well so he must bea fine musician.” And here even I cease tounderstand what I'm saying.THE HAMMER SPEAKSEverything in music today thatlays claim to a ‘great style" eitherdeceives us or deceives itself. Thisalternative gives enough food forthought for it includes some ca¬suistry about the value of these twocases. "Deceives us: most people'sinstinct protests against this — theydon't want to be deceived — but Imyself should still prefer this typeto the other ("deceives itself”). Thisis my taste. —Friedrich Nietzsche,1888. To the Editors:While reading the InternationalWomen's Day issue of the Grey City Jour¬nal last quarter, I was reminded againand again of the reasons why I cannot sub¬scribe wholeheartedly to the stance of fe¬minism. Many of the articles addressedissues which strengthened my beliefs: Ms.Townes’ very valid objections to white fe¬minist theology, Ms. Saltz’s indignation atMadonna's exploitative tactics, and mostof all Ms. Canaan’s fascinating research ondominance and body perception. Whensomeone asks me why I am not a feminist, Imention the following considerations.Any doctrine for change in our societytoday must address the central problem ofexploitation — exploitation of women, ofthe weak, of the earth. There is a strugglefor dominance in our relationships whicharises from our emphasis on divisions; in¬dependence is affirmed, interdependencedenied. We constantly insist upon our di¬versity and our differences but neglectour similarities. Instead of having a bal¬ance between integration and differentia¬tion, our judgement is tipped towards thelatter. Our decisions are permeated by adualism of value — superior/inferior,ruler/ruled, owner/owned, or user/used,exploiter/exploited. To contend with thisconstant source of alienation, we mustfirst become aware of it in all its manifes¬tations.Feminism, as I understand it, is aimed at“solving” these types of problems and yetit is just as plagued by them as the every¬day society which it attempts to criticizeFeminism addresses a subset of the prob¬lems of a subset of the human populationand then proceeds to grant this fragmenta position of paramount importance Theissues of feminism are simply some of amultitude of the symptoms of the prob¬lems outlined above. In their precision andnarrowness, many feminists fall into thesame trap of elitism and alienation whichthey are supposedly combatting. I cannotcount the times which I have been told thatI cannot participate in feminism because Iam a male and do not understand the truelot of women; I understand exploitationand alienation because I have experi¬enced them just as any other human beingin our society has. To claim that the femin¬ist issues are in some way different and unique, is elitist and unproductive. Femin¬ists take part in a gross oversimplificationof the human condition — a state that allmen and women participate in, under¬stand, and can work to improve. Is thereno place then for humanism?Jose A. Feito. third year student in the Col¬legeStephanie Bacon, an editor, replies:What Mr. Feito calls elitism, which Imight call separatism, is not the centralprinciple of feminism as I see it.Feminism is about plurality — accep¬tance, ' affirmation and celebration of thedifferences between all people. The his¬torical exploitation of women (as any in¬cidence of exploitation, to be sure) has de¬nied our individuality, and taught us tofear and repress those tendencies in our¬selves that distinguish us from the submis¬sive stereotypes of appropriate femalebehavior that our culture enforces. Whatwe are learning, through feminism, is tovalue ourselves and others for all ouruniqueness.This is not a divisive doctrine, but rathera unifying one, because the affirmation ofplurality frees us. and allows us to work toimprove the human condition in general.We will work in different ways, and wewill have different feelings about ourwork; feminism, as I see it, embraces a va¬riety of approaches. I hope Mr. Feitowould not deny that even those feministswho choose to devote their energies solelyto improving the lot of women are ad¬dressing problems that affect everyone —not just “a subset of the human popula¬tion.” Women and their problems do notexist in a vacuum!Humanism and feminism both begin andend with respect and appreciation forevery individual, and respect for thechoices that an individual makes abouthow to live his/her life. If Mr. Feito is a hu¬manist. he will not deny the right ofwomen to congregate, explore their com¬mon experience, and work together in theway that seems best to them. If Mr. Feitocould refrain from condemning any choiceof enacting change by affirming my expe¬rience as a woman, then I could not denyhis right to call himself a feminist.DESPERATELY SEEKING BRUNCHCOME DRESSED AS YOUR FAVEPOP/INTELLECTUAL ICON-5472 HARPER 1A 12:30GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1985—5DESPERATELY SEEKING MEANINGby Steve DiamondAnd now that the dribble has. becometotally pointless, drawn* .put to the max,=I truly feel that it is" tipie to tell youwhere my mgsic tastes-: are going., Though I hat^ to ^gimit it. l am begin¬ning to actually believe that hip hop isdead, well not really d^ad, but coopted(I like that word.

One set (sug¬gested in articles by Blinn, Goodwin andRajmane) holds that, despite improve¬ments in employment practices of someU.S. subsidiaries under pressure from in¬vestors and unions, a) their limited powerto effect more fundamental changes in thesystem of apartheid, and b) continuedsales by companies like Gf> and Motorola(both signatories of the Sullivan princi¬ples, by the way) to the South African se¬curity forces, render their continued pre¬sence there morally unacceptable. Incontrast, other views of the situation (com¬bining those of O’Leary’s letter, HannaGray’s comments, and Rajmane’s quotesof Zulu leader Buthelezi) argue that U.S.subsidiaries can provide opportunities forblacks to wield increasing political-eco¬nomic clout, and that withdrawing invest¬ments would primarily hurt blacks andleave the South African government in¬transigent. I have yet to see informationadequate to support either of the twosides conclusively, but I do hope here toadd documented “fuel” to the discussion.The Sullivan principles (authored by GMboard member Rev. Leon Sullivan of Phila¬delphia) demand that U.S. companies inSouth Africa integrate working facilities,provide quitable wages regardless ofrace, train and hire “non-whites" in man¬agement, and improve the quality of em¬ployees’ lives outside the work environ¬ment in such areas as housing,transportation, schooling, recreation, andhea’th facilities. Three-quarters of theworkforce employed by U.S. businessthere work for “Sullivan Signatories," in¬volving 128 of the over 300 U.S. firmsoperating in the country. Arthur D. Little,Inc., a Cambridge, Mass., consulting firm,regularly rates each of the 128 on its per¬formance in relation to the principles. Citi¬corp, GM, Ford, IBM, Mobil and othershave gotten high marks, but Little has also“flunked" Carnation and Firestone, andgiven warnings to W.R. Grace, Motorolaano International Harvester. (Hanna Grayhas indicated that U. of C. trustees act inlight of ratings such as these, but it wouldbe good to have a detailed, up-to-date re-DOrt on this, especially since many shadyinvestments cited by Grey City Journalwriters were current six to eight yearsago.)Some progress among U.S. subsidiariesis noteworthy. Companies have “adopt¬ed” about 200 schools and supportedteacher training in an effort to improvegeneral educational opportunities amongnon-whites The recent creation of PaceCommercial College in Soweto, home ofover a million Blacks near Johannesburg,was financed mostly by U.S. corporations.Ford and Mobil have backed new housingfor their Black and mixed-race (“colored") employees near their Cape Town and PortElizabeth plants. Recognition of blackunions by Union Carbide and Kellogg hasin turn increased the unions’ negotiatingpower relative to non-U.S. companies. Alocal Ford director has frequently blastedpublicly against government banningsand detentions without trail of outspokenemployees. Gilette has opened the firstbusiness-sponsored legal-aid clinic servingmainly blacks, and hopes to use it againstSouth Africa’s brutal restriction of Blacks’travel and access to jobs. (See New YorkTimes 11/16/83, Wall Street Journal6/11/84, Christian Science Monitor 3/9/83and 2/13/85.) Some U.S. subsidiaries, how¬ever, continue to pay their Black workersinequitable and substandard wages, andhave benefitted from the government’straditional antipathy toward independentBlack trade unions.Rev. Sullivan stated in a letter to theWashington Post, 5/10/83:I have attempted to make it clearfrom the beginning that the princi¬ples are not the total solution to theSouth African problem, and thateven if they were implemented tothe optimum, the principles alonecould not end apartheid. Apartheidis a ruthless, inhumane system ofpractices and laws deeply embed¬ded in the world’s most racist soci¬ety, and in order for apartheid to becompletely eradicated in requiresthe combined efforts of many forces,including governments, companies,churches, unions, the United Nations,those who believe in justice withinthe country, and world public opin¬ion. But it is my firm opinion that themultinational corporations have amajor role to play. In the past theyhave been the main beneficiaries ofcheap labor and profits from thisevil and unjust system and among itsmain supporters. It should be the re¬sponsibility of these companies tohelp change that system. Otherwise,they have no moral justification forremaining in South Africa, andshould be compelled to leave thecountry.Sullivan has in fact pressed for share¬holder resolutions against corporationsthat refuse to abide by the principles. ButU.S. Congressional efforts (like those ofStephen Solarz) to require Sullivan-princi¬pled policies of all U.S. companies withSouth African subsidiaries have been un¬successful, and are likely to continue to be,given their implications for U.S. corporateactivity worldwide. On the other hand, onDecember 12, 1984, 119 Sullivan signato¬ry companies agreed in New York to an“amplified" version of the principles, sig¬nificantly stressing lobbying and “othertactics” in South Africa to end apartheidlaws, including those that prevent Blackbusinesses from locating in urban areas, and those that hinder blacks from seekingemployment and housing in all areas.(Wall St. Journal 12/13/84) It is not clear,however, how carefully these new provi¬sions are to be monitored.Look beyond the immediate role of U.S.subsidiaries, are there signs in South Afri¬ca to lead one reasonably to hope for fun¬damental change short of what Congress¬man Hayes called “a real blood bath"? Isee two: the increasing power of Blacks asconsumers and in unions, and creepingchanges within the white government andjudicial system.Political analyst Simon Jenkins in an im¬portant Economist article (6/21/80) assert¬ed:• By denying blacks the right to busi¬ness, ownership, the government in¬evitably sucks them into the whiteurban economy. By depriving themof producer power, it has handedthem consumer power. An estimated90% of Soweto spending passesthrough the Johannesburg centralbusiness district — all white owned— and this district is believed to bedependent on black spending for anoverwhelming 70% of its retail turn¬over.This adds credence to the theory of blackpolitical organizer Buthelezi that boycottswill become increasingly effective meansfor blacks to negotiate a voice in the gov¬ernment. Buthelezi has actually en¬couraged more Sullivan-principled U.S. in¬vestment in the country. (Washington Post11/1/83).Black trade unions and their leadershave been severaly harassed for genera¬tions, but legal changes within the lastfour to six years have allowed them to in¬crease tneir clout considerably. Thus, al¬though the government has hoped to co¬opt the growing unions, a massive strikeinvolving over 500,000 Black workers inthe economically vital Transvaal Provinceoccurred last November 5 and 6, due to anunprecedented coordinated effort byunions, youth and community organiza¬tions. (Christian Science Monitor 11/13/84)The largest unions are likely this year toform a single federation. (Economist12/15/84; for a short history of the Blackunions, see Africa Report November-De-cember 1982.) They will be aided by an in¬terracial milllion-plus-member UnitedDemocratic Front, launched in August1983 by Alan Boesak, the popular presi¬dent of the World Alliance of ReformedChurches. Current History March 1984).U.S. government and corporate leaders(along with the rest of us) should activelysupport such organizations, as the AFL-CIO, AFSCME and Public Service Interna¬tional have, and black unions in SouthAfrica should be given a greater role inmonitoring compliance with the Sullivanprinciples.President Reagan, who has apparently been defying a U.N. embargo on arms tothe South African government (VillageVoice 2/19/85), has only recently shifted inhis overt policy of "constructive engage¬ment," finally criticizing publicly theforced relocation of several million of thecountry’s 23 million Blacks, most of themto remote, barran “homelands," and thedetention without trial of hundreds of Blckleaders. This criticism may have been inresponse to growing picketing of SouthAfrican embassies in the U.S., or to state¬ments of Bishop Desmond Tutu at his ac¬ceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize:“Blacks are systematically stripped oftheir South African citizenship and arebeing turned into aliens in the land of theirbirth....This is apartheid’s Final Solution."(Time 12/2484) Indeed, the South Africangovernment may be changing slightly onits most brutal policies. President PieterBotha has indicated within the last twomonths a new will to negotiate withbanned African National Congress lead¬ers, and has apparently jettisoned the te¬nacious apartheid dogma that all of SouthAfrica’s black majority can be accommo¬dated politically in the tribal “home¬lands." In addition, Helen Suzman and afew other members of Parliament wage aconstant battle against apartheid legisla¬tion, and some judges have ruled favor¬ably for blacks in cases involving thecountry’s Orwellian security and passlaws.(Christian Science Monitor 11/18/82,12/8/83, 11/15/84, 1/28/85, 2/1/85)But for most Blacks in South Africatoday the situation is grave, and nothingguarantees that it won’t get much worse.The government bureaucracy has demon¬strated resistance to reforms from thetop, and the present leaders may yet losepower to whites even more reactionary.Desert-like areas, similar to many NativeAmerican “reservations," remain theforced homes for millions of uprootedblacks, those regarded as “superfluousappendages" to the “smooth" functioningof th economy. Political activists are sub¬ject to “preventive" and indefinite deten¬tion under “terrorism" and “suppressionof communism" laws vague enough torival those of any police state. All Blackssuffer the cynical indignity of accountingfor their every move to the authorities.(See the comprehensive report, SouthAfrica: Time Running Out, prepared by theStudy Commission on U.S. Policy TowardSouthern Africa, 1981.)Michael Walzer, in response to an infa¬mous 1979 commentary article by JeanneKirkpatrick, argued that we should notonly “maintain a steady hostility towardevery sort of totalitarian ambition," butalso protest the bloodiness of the “otherautocracies." (New Republic 7/4/31) Thisattitude seems the least we ought to ex¬pect from U.S. corporations that operatein the context of South African aparth¬eid.David L PerryDivinity School8—FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1985—GREY CITY JOURNAL
