The Chicago MaroonVolume 94, No. 44 The University of Chicago Friday, April 19, 1985Rare Crerar books recoveredWarnke condemns StarThe University has reachedan out-of-court settlementwith the estate of a San Fran¬cisco book dealer in a suit in¬volving over a half milliondollars’ worth of rare booksstolen from the old JohnCrerar Library.The dealer bought thebooks unaware that they hadbeen stolen and initially re¬fused to return them, assert¬ing that the Crerar Library’sownership of some of the vol¬umes was questionable, andthat the library had been neg¬ligent in protecting its collec¬tion. In the settlementreached last weekend, thedealer’s estate will return theCrerar books still in its pos¬session along with an undis¬closed amount of compensa¬tion for books that have beensold and are not recoverable.University General CounselArthur Sussman said the theUniversity is “very pleasedwith the outcome’’ of thecase.The suit arose out of aseries of thefts that occurredin the late 1970’s and early80’s before the University ofChicago merged with Crerar.According to Sussman, a mannamed Joseph Putna and hisgirlfriend had been doing aconsiderable amount of legiti¬mate research at Crerar,which was then an indepen¬dent science library locatedat the Illinois Institute ofTechnology. The two individ¬uals befriended members ofthe Crerar staff and werethus able to gain access to therare book vault in violation oflibrary regulations.Putna then began stealingvolumes from the vault byputting them into plain enve¬lopes which he then smuggledpast the security check. Thetwo used this technique tosteal a large number of valu¬able pieces — “well into thehundreds’’ according to BobRosenthal of University Spe¬cial Collections — includingU of C andBy Alex ConroyDr. Stephen W. Hawking,world-renowned cosmologistand theoretical physicist, willspeak on “Why Does Time GoForward” this Tuesday, April23 at 8 p.m. in Eckhart 133.Hawking’s appearance issponsored by the U of Cchapter of Sigma Xi, the na¬tional scientific research so¬ciety, as part of an early cele¬bration of the society’scentennial in 1986. The lec¬ture is free and orientedtoward non-physicists.Haw-king is the foremostliving authority on blackholes, according to DavidSchramm, member of the de¬partment of astronomy andastro physics at the Universi¬ty of Chicago and NationalLecturer this year for SigmaXi. It has long been knownthat many black holes arecaused when a star, growingtoo hot, collapses in on itselfuntil it becomes a very small,dense ball of matter with aproportional gravitationalfield so strong that even lightcannot pass without beingsucked in.In a New York Times Mag¬azine interview with MichaelHarwood (January 1984),Hawking explained his elabo-i ations on black holes. He be¬lieves that small black holes Copernicus’ De Revolutionib-us Orbium Coelestium, LibriVI (1543) and a first edition ofWilliam Harvey’s De MotuCordis (1628), one of the mostvaluable pieces in the collec¬tion. Putna then sold theworks to Warren Howell, areputable San Francisco bookdealer who in turn resold anumber of them, for a total ofapproximately $400,000.Putna’s thefts went undetect¬ed for several years.When the University of Chi¬cago completed negotiationsfor a merger with Crerar inApril of 1981, it began an in¬ventory of Crerar’s holdingswhich revealed that a numberof books were missing. TheHarvey volume had in factbeen missing since 1978. Thishowever did not immediatelycause alarm, according toSussman. since there wereapproximately 30,000 vol¬umes in Crerar’s rare bookcollection and volumes some¬times became temporarily“lost” when they were re¬shelved in the wrong place.In 1982, however, the li¬brary received notice tnat aunique manuscript which wTasamong the missing pieces hadturned up in a German li¬brary. Crerar officials calledin the FBI, whose investiga¬tions led to the arrest and con¬viction of Putna.Crerar then sought to re¬cover the books from thedealer Howell, who refused tosurrender them. The librarythen filed suit. According toLawrence Jordan, Howell’sSan Francisco attorney, therewere several reasons for hisclient’s refusal to turn overthe pieces.To begin with, Howell didnot think that the evidence of¬fered him by Crerar conclusi¬vely proved that all the vol¬umes in question had in factcome from the library. Jor¬dan cited Crerar’s descrip¬tion of its Harvey volume,which “did not jibe with theSigma Xi toon the scale of 10'5 grams, asopposed to the normal 1033grams, do exist. He alsofound that black holes do notcontinue to suck in matter in¬definitely, but eventually ex¬plode, a phenomenon knownas the Hawking process. Be¬cause size is a factor in deter¬mining a black hole’s lifespan, only small ones can beobserved at explosion.Stephen HawkingAccording to Schramm,Hawking maintains thatthese little holes come notfrom the collapse of a spheri¬cal mass such as a star, butsimply from the implosion ofa piece of the universe. Haw¬king's work on black holes is description of the copy thatHowell sold.”Jordan also argued that li¬brary negligence was an im¬portant issue for Howell.“Howell had worked hardand been on many seminarsand things where bookdealers, libraries, and collec¬tors were trying to establishsome guidelines to help themprotect the ownership ofbooks. From what we foundout about the way Crerar tookcare of its books, we felt thatthey had not met their burdenthrough these guidelines thatthe antiquarian book dealershad put together.” Accordingto these guidelines, says Jor¬dan, Crerar should havetaken some action when theHarvey volume w-as first dis¬covered missing in 1978 — ei¬ther by taking out a warningad in a trade publication ornotifying the FBI.“The principle (Howell)was trying to establish wasthat when a library sits andacts dumb, then it shouldn’tcontinued on page 11By Peter KutscheraPaul Warnke, chief negotia¬tor of the Salt II treaty,former director of the ArmsControl and DisarmamentAgency, and current chair¬man of the Committee for Na¬tional Security, spoke onpresent arms control issueslast Tuesday at the OrientalInstitute. His speech consist¬ed primarily of criticism ofPresident Reagan’s StrategicDefense Initiative (SDI orStar Wars). A long “ques¬tion” by a non-student audi¬ence member, phrased like ademonstration of the viewsexpressed by Lyndon M.LaRouche, Jr., was interrupt¬ed by many shouts and endedin a physical confrontationhost worldrelated to his work on the ori¬gin and development of theuniverse, a process which hefeels began with the explosionof an infinitesimally smalland dense bit of matter calleda singularity. Both aspects ofhis work attempt to reconcilegravity with quantum phys¬ics.The New York Times Mag¬azine reported that one ofHawking’s major talents washis ability to make intuitionsand develop underlyingtheories before working outindividual details. Because ofhis condition, he does notwork out relevant equationsbut instead is responsible forthe ingenious insights whichothes prove by tehnical calcu¬lations.Dr. Hawking received hisbachelor's degree from theUniversity College at Oxfordand his doctorate from Cam¬bridge. In addition, he hashonorary degrees from othernotable' Universities includ¬ing the University of Chicago,Notre Dame and New YorkUniversity. He holds the Lu¬casian Chair of Applied Math¬ematics at Cambridge, a posi¬tion once occupied by SirIsaac Newton.Dr. Hawking has been af¬flicted with amyolateral sclcrosis (Lou Gherig’s disease) with another audiencemember (See related article,page 3)In his speech, Warnkestressed that arms control isonly possible through mutualconcessions. Both sides haveto be equally strong for nego¬tiations on the reduction ofnuclear weapons to be suc¬cessful. “Either both sidesare going to reduce or bothsides are going to increase. Ifwe increase, they will not re¬duce.”Warnke disagrees wdthReagan’s arguments that theSDI program will “show theSoviets that we mean busi¬ness. that there is Americanresolve...”, and thereby leadto bargaining leverage in the Wars planGeneva negotiations on armscontrol. Warnke asked Amer¬icans to consider the Russianposition at the Geneva talks:“Look at it from our stand¬point if the Soviet Union tookthe same approach, and an¬nounced publicly that theywere going ahead with a newweapon system and as a con¬sequence we would be morereasonable to make conces¬sions in Geneva.

Urging his audience to take up“questions of law that go to the heart ofour democratic and legal system”rather than just those that “come intoyour office with lucrative retainers,”consumer advocate Ralph Nader spokeon “The Future of Public InterestLaw” Monday at the Law School Audi¬torium.The speech was sponsored by theChicago Law Assocation, an organiza¬tion of U of C law students dedicated tothe promotion of involvement in publicinterest issues.The crux of Nader’s speech was tooffer future lawyers alternatives to ca¬reers in corporate law firms. Nadercriticized the “prevailing mentality”of law students who opt for high finan¬cial gains instead of engaging them¬selves in what he sees as the properrole of the lawyer: the promotion ofjustice in society. “Are you going to bea pipsqueak lawyer, snuggling in somelaw firm sincecure with thick rugs anda lucrative retainer?” he asked an au¬dience mostly composed of law stu¬dents. “Yeah?” the students shouted.“What’s wrong with that?” Nader re-sponsed, “That’s where you’re allheading, most of you.”Nader criticized the law and lawschool curricula saying that they arebiased toward the corporate structure:devoting ample attention to the streetcriminal, while largely ignoring the ex¬istence of the corporate criminal. Lawschools, he said, do not focus enough onthe social responsibility of lawyers,preferring instead to groom them toserve a “dangerously over-powerful”corporate network far less in need oflegal resources than the people outsideit. “What was most significant in mylaw school experience,” he said, “wasthe lack of any articulation about theproper deployment of lawyers. Mostlawyers represent a fraction of theAmerican people, and most of theAmerican people are not represented by lawyers. We never talked about whymost Americans are shut out of theirown legal system.”Nader said this situation is doublydeplorable under the Reagan adminis¬tration, which he called “a governmentof the Exxons, by the General Motors,for the DuPonts.” He accused the ad¬ministration of actively underminingcitizen power in a campaign againstthe Freedom of Information Act, pro¬gress in civil rights, and environmen¬tal issues.Under the current presidential ad¬ministration, the issue of public inter¬est law is more controversial —andNader-busier— than ever. His earlyfoundations, including the Center Forthe Study of Responsive Law, PublicCitizen, and numerous nation-wide stu¬dent research groups, are well estab¬lished. Nader now has several newprojects including the revival of co-op¬eratives, the establisment of CitizenUtility Boards, and the setting up of anAudience Network that would allot thepublic radio and televsion airtime.Nader urged early involvement withthe groups such as the ACLU (Ameri¬can Civil Liberties Union) and NAACP,(National Association for the Advance¬ment of Colored People), “public inter¬est defense groups that deal with ques- Ralph Nadertions that do not come into your officewith lucrative retainers, but are ques¬tions of law that go to the heart of ourdemocratic and legal system.” Hedirected the audience to A Guide forSocial Change Careers, a catalog list¬ing organizations dealing with issues ofpoverty, civil rights, product safety,the environment, and fair businesspractice. “Look at it,” he said, al¬though “You’re not going to get rich —at least not materially.” The speech was followed by an ex¬haustive question and answer sessioncovering issues such as the seatbeltlaw, the Union Carbide disaster in Bho¬pal, and whether or not cost analysismethods of evaluating the law take intoaccount human values, and the longterm future.Student response was polite, butskeptical. They laughed at Nader’sjokes and nodded in acknowledgementof his indictment of the system, butwhen he asked students to raise theirhands if they intended to help create afair society after they graduated, notone hand went up.“It’s like a religion,” commentedone student, as Nader, holding a copyof The Other Government high in theair, debated with the questioner whoinsisted that the marketplace “w'orksrationally” in the best interests of soci¬ety.In addition to sponsoring speakingengagements, the Chicago Law Associ¬ation solicits contributions for intern¬ships in pubjic interest law. They arecurrently sponsoring a speaker’sseries on women in law and politics,and also inform teenagers of theirrights through a street law program atthe Blue Gargoyle.Protestor attacked at Wamke lecturePaul Warnke’s Tuesday lecture atthe Oriental Institute was disrupted byverbal heckling that ended in a physi¬cal confrontation between twomembers of the audience. AfterWarnke had finished his speech, a manrose to ask a question which turned outto into a long demonstration of LyndonLaRouche’s views on foreign policy.After about two minutes of introducingmany different issues, the LaRoucherepresentative, Ron Bettag, was askedby the organizer of the lecture to raisehis particular question.Rockefeller Memorial ChapelSunday, March 21,Ecumenical Service of HolyCommunion11:00 a.m.University Religious ServiceBernard O.

The shouts of criticism againstBettag’s refusal to end the questionwere interrupted by an elderly womanwho very loudly demanded thatWarnke should “answer the question”.Bettag was still talking, “...advancingthe defensive laser..so what we’ve gotto do as a nation, is to immediatelyto...”, when W’arnke responded: “Inany event. I have no intention to an¬swer this question, so consider it to beterminated at this point.”After a loud applause. W’arnketurned on a new question by an audi¬ence member in the first row. Bettag,in the rear of the lecture hall, contin¬ued speaking with a ioud voice pro¬ claiming repeatedlty: “...I have thefloor...” Warnke was only heeding thenew’ questioner. A young man. about 6-foot-6, approached the about 5-8 Bettagand threatened to use force if hewouldn’t stop talking. W’arnke inter¬vened by exerting: “Would you tell thisgentleman that his (floor) time has ex¬pired” Warnke did not heed the se¬quence of events any further, but con¬tinued to answer new questions.The taller man pulled Bettag back¬wards over the row of seats and ontothe ground. Many people moved quick¬ly between the two combatants. Bettagwas lead outside the lecture hall w’herehe waited to press charges on physicalassault. The other man left the Orien¬tal Institute before U of C security ar¬rived. He was later taken away by Chi¬cago police in front of the ReynoldsClub. He was handcuffed and made noattempt to resist. Bettag charged theman with battery.When Warnke was asked whethersuch a disturbance in a lecture has oc¬curred to him before, he responded:“Oh yes. it happens all the time. This isnothing new.” —Peter KutscheraCSA adopts statement of purposeBy Jane Burkeliar Bast fcitctenGET 10% OFF DINNERATURDAYS 6-10 PAWITH UC STUDENT ID- - ■ — — ■(Corner of 53rd and Hyde Park Blvd.) 955-2200 The College Student Associationadopted a statement of purpose and de¬cided the future makeup of the associa¬tion in a meeting Monday night. Theconstitution that was adopted by thegroup will not be binding until it is ra¬tified by the student body later in thequarter, but the CSA plans to workwithin the constitution’s limits to beginthe process of allocating funds.The first constitutional decisionmade at the meeting was to adopt thename College Student Assembly inplace of the former title.The body also adopted a statement ofpurpose that it felt could be left open tointerpretation, which is. “The CSA isthe elected representative body of theCollege. Its function is to serve the in¬terests of the College community.” Forthat purpose, three committees will beorganized: an allocations committee,an activities committee, and a studentconcerns committee.Off campus representative Manee-sha Lai questioned the need for a stu¬dent concerns committee which shefelt would overlap with Student Gov¬ernment and that might be no more ef¬fective. However, the group decidedthat such a committee would be part ofthe CSA because the terms of the refer¬endum by w hich the body was electedincluded the duty of (addressing) theconcerns of the students in the Collegein addition to dispending the college ac¬tivates fee and organizing major activi¬ties for the College. It was suggested that CSA could be a more effectivebody for addressing College issues andconcerns because of its flexibility.CSA set the number of its electedmembers at 20 and decided electionswould be held at the end of the fallquarter to give freshmen the opportu¬nity to serve. From within the 20 a secretarv/treasurer will be chosen andfrom outside the group a non-votingchairperson will be appointed. CSA willoperate over the summer with a re¬laxed quorum and an appointed sum¬mer chairperson of the allocationscommittee.CorrectionDue to an editing error.

This attention to security, though, makes itamazingly hard for the Maroon to acquire details about particularcrimes in Hyde Park.An example occurred Monday. Informed of a beating which occurredat 1313 E. 60th Street, the Maroon pursued its University informationchannels — the security department and the office of Jonathan Klein-bard, University vice-president for news and community affairs. All welearned was that a man was beaten, struck on the head, knocked uncon¬scious, and eventually revived by city paramedics.You now know as much as the Maroon, and even as late as yesterdayUniversity security officials would not divulge the victim’s name or anyother details of the crime, and called such a divulgence “invasion ofone’s privacy.” When the University withholds information aboutevents in its community — events which may change one’s perspectivetoward the school — the University gives an inaccurate picture of itsneighborhood. Crime often happens, usually increasing when theweather warms, and the Maroon has a right to information about thosecrimes, without having Big Brother wave a hand in its face.We would appreciate some cooperation. With the prospective studentshere, the University feels obligated to paint a rosy picture of U of C life.Hopefully word-of-mouth from students will give the prospies some¬thing a little closer to the truth —Frank LubyWarning to CampaignersWith five major parties campaigning for SG positions, tne campuswill soon become littered with thousands of flyers and posters. Thisyear, for the first time, these posters are registered with the StudentActivities Office, allowing them to remain on University bulletin boardswithout being torn down.One campaigning party, though, recently accused at least one individ¬ual of another party of tearing down campaign posters to expose others.Rick Szesnv of the Election and Rules Committee reported that “thoughthe circumstantial evidence is very strong against the accused party,we didn't feel we could eliminate the party from the race.” Szesnv alsoissued a warning to all campaigning groups, and the Maroon supportshis sentiment: excessive posting of flyers and literature is prohibited,as is removal of any SAO posters, campaign-related or otherwise. The E& R Committee will monitor this problem, and penalty for violation willybe expulsion from the race. jClubs predate new sorority by 50 yearsTo the Editor:Hilary Till omitted one vital factor inher article ‘Why are there no sororitieshere?’ 'Maroon, April 16. 1985). TheUniversity of Chicago does indeed havea history of strong women's social or¬ganizations, but they were calld‘clubs,’ not sororities. During the fra¬ternity heyday, approximately thirtywomen's clubs graced this campus,with names like The Esoterics,’ ‘TheMortarboards' and Delta Sigma.’ Theclubs all participated in the Inter-ClubCouncil, which sponsored events likethe Inter-Club Sing and the Inter-ClubBall (c.f. the Inter-Fraternity Council,the IFC Sing and the recently revivedIFC Ball).In fact, one of the these organizationsremains an active force on campustoday. The Delta Sigma Society wasoriginally founded in 1915 and was re¬established in 1981. In the 1930’s weprovided kegs at our Monday nightstudy breaks, to which we invited thefraternities, and we frequently madethe rounds of the Hyde Park bars.Today, we co-host study breaks withfraternities and celebrate the end of quarters with traveling cocktail par¬ties.I think it is a shame that women onthis campus have overlooked thewomen's clubs as a source of femalesociety. Instead of reaching into therich history and tradition of Chicago,many have sought the guidance of out¬side organizations. Although DeltaSigma may lack the national associa¬tion of a sorority, it does have a strongsense of tradition and continuity. Wehave an extremely active alumnaechapter, pledge pins and songs, and wecarry on traditional activities like Loy¬alty Week and weekend retreats toWisconsin.I cannot believe Ms. Till overlookedus. The women at this University havetoo much spirit never to have organ¬ized. We simply formed an alternativeto the restrictions involved in the soror¬ity system.Sincerely,S.

Warnke protest victim defends his causeTo the editor:At Tuesday’s FREEZE-sponsoredPaul Warnke forum I was brutally re¬moved while asking the first questionwhich obviously busted the staged,controlled environment created towhite wash Soviet Deployment of theirversion of the Strategic Defense Initia¬tive SDI and the IMF (InternationalMonetary Fund) conditionalities pre¬sently being imposed upon the US aswell as the Third World nations. TheIMF is presently the Soviet’s key assetin the West.Secretary of the State GeorgeSchultz, Mr. Warrke’s present mentorin these matters, is the most blatantand viscious in his demand for IMFgenocidal conditionalities and the Kis¬singer/KGB “Bargaining chip” ap¬proach to SDI. As any completed anal¬ysis will testify, the Soviet Union under George Ogarkov will deploy a SDI sys¬tem by 1988 coupled with a 10-1 advan¬tage in nuclear throw weight. Couplethis military situation with the collapseof the US and Western Economies dueto the $20 million Western Debt and thedisaster looming is evident to an in¬formed third-grader.My only request — if Gestapo tacticsare not to be tolerated — is that the U ofC, the sponsoring FREEZE group, orsome objective third party or groupsponsor a foreign forum at which thenecessary reorganization of the inter¬national debt and a competant discus¬sion of the strategic Defense Initiative,its scientific spinoffs and cultural paybacks can be aired for public discus¬sion.Ron BettagSchiller InstituteThe Ida Noyes gym must be savedTo the editor,Thank you for your editorial of Tues¬day, April 9 concerning the plans totear out the Ida Noyes gym. As instruc¬tor of the Eclectic Ed morning aero¬bics class at the gym, it is clear to methat the university needs to expand andreorganize the exercise and sports fa¬cilities on campus rather than reducethe already limited quality space avail¬able.Over 180 people attend one of theaerobic dance classes I teach at IdaNoyes gym and at International House.The classes at International Housetake place thanks to the open-minded¬ness of house director C. LesterStermer and program director RayGude. who allow the aerobics classes tooccupy the Assembly Hall, a space notdesigned for use as a gym or danceroom. Each quarter these classes arefilled to capacity and many students who come to sign up are turned away.The overwhelming popularity of theseclasses suggests that more, not less,adequately-equipped exercise spaceand locker and shower facilities areneeded on campus.Members of the aerobics classeshave sent a letter to Dean of StudentsCharles O’Connell and to PresidentHanna II. Gray requesting that the de¬cision to tear out the gym be reconsi¬dered. The administration’s planwould go against the desires of thecampus community, whose high levelsof participation in activities initiatedand organized informally by studentsindicate a widespread interest in main¬taining and expanding quality sportsfacilities on campus.Sincerely,Lisa Douglass,graduate studentMathews House is upsetListen Hanna Gray—Open letter to President Gray:We are writing this letter to expressour utter distate for and frustrationwith the college housing system in gen¬eral, and the Burton Judson Court spe¬cifically. By placing law students inMathews House, you have unwittinglysubjected normal, diverse individualsto the worst of this academically, andas its national reputation suggests, ri¬diculously intense environment. Whatyou have created at B-J, with the aid ofyour self-selected neo-Storm TrooperResident Heads (with the exception ofthe Mathews R.H.) is a regime that su¬bordinates fun to study, and elevatescloistered oppression to a new form.A sample of “college policies,” enth¬usiastically enforced, serves to illus¬trate. First, stereos may not be playedloudly on a Friday afternoon (or specif¬ically, last Friday, the first nice day ofspring). The underlying logic, as ex¬plained to us: a) several undergradu¬ates who were sitting in the courtyardwatching TV could not hear All MyChildren, b) students should be able tostudy, undisturbed, in their rooms 24hours a day. Where then, you mightask, do you fit in the concepts of havingfun and blowing off steam on a beauti¬ful Friday afternoon? Quite simply,you don’t.Second, frisbee playing and the likeare prohibited in the courtyard. Thispolicy would be more digestible if itwere not enforced with such relish. Itslogic, however, also escapes us. Forthe most part, each one of us has beenaround 22 or 25 years and not one of uscan recall a frisbee doing damage — toproperty or person. Perhaps just thepowers that be purging a remnant ofstudent enjoyment? You decide. Butyou certainly wouldn’t want the court¬yard to lose its distinctive prison yardflavor, and most definitely wouldn’twant to utilize it for anything morethan a walkway.All this seems trivial, and reasonablein light of a third administrative poli¬cy: Law students, all of whom are oflegal age, are prevented from drinkingbeer in the courtyard. While this poli¬cy, at first blush, appears rational, andone to which we could begrudginglysubmit, it is also dorm policy that beer is served at B-J parties to all students— of age and otherwise. Such selectiveenforcement of alcohol policies is thefuse that has ignited our wrath. LastFriday, a Resident Head coolly in¬formed us that our beer drinking wasprohibited by college housing rules, butin turn justified that evening’s beerparty, a Class C Misdemeanor in viola¬tion of section 81-2 of the Illinois Crimi¬nal Code, as an organized Collegeevent. Compelling logic? She and herco-Resident Heads believed so. We donot!What redress then? Bitter and vin¬dictive, we considered ensuring that noB-J, or any College party would everagain serve beer. A single phone call tothe State Liquor Control Board wouldbe simple and effective. This, however,would only give the Resident Headsone more “policy” to enforce, andwould serve to further retard an al¬ready socially maladjusted studentbody. Our only real recourse is tocounter President Gray’s “MYSCHOOL HAS A SOCIAL LIFE, REAL¬LY!?” ad campaign with our own“word of mouth” public relations. Inshort, President Gray, this is a schoolthat not one of us would have wanted toattend as undergraduates. Indisput¬ably, its academic programs are out¬standing. But academics are merely acomponent of the college experience.Aside from receiving fine educations,we each enjoyed our college years. Ad¬ministrative and Housing policies, farfrom oppressive, encouraged fun. Stu¬dents did not have the unqualified rightto study in their rooms 24 hours eachand every day. God did, after all,create libraries on the Seventh Day.What makes for an enjoyable collegeexperience is a felicitous blend of aca¬demics, rowdiness, and individualism.These same qualities make for an in¬teresting, and yes, mature individual.And furthermore, (pay attention all ofyou who delight in studying every wak¬ing hour), these qualities make for anattractive and successful graduateschool applicant.

You can see the answer tothat question in person tomorrow nightwhen comedian Rich Hall — a memberof NBC’s Saturday Night cast — takesthe stage in Mandel Hall as part ofSAO’s quarterly comedian’s series.Hall, — who signed a one-year con¬tract with NBC after Saturday Nightproducer Dick Ebersol recruited him— is currently taking a two-week breakfrom his “60-70 hour a week” commit¬ment to the show to perform on collegecampuses nationwide. The author ofthe book Sniglets and its sequel, theaptly named More Sniglets, Hall hasachieved increasing notoriety in come¬dy since arriving in New York City in1980.BeginningsThe 29-year old comedian enter¬tained thoughts of a writing careerafter he graduated from the Universityof Washington in 1979. After success onthe comedy club circuit in New York,though. “I abandoned the ideas of w rit¬ing.” Hall said. “This (comedy)seemed to be a viable approach...aneasy way to make a living.”Though he cites “driving a fork lift”as his only other discernible talent.Hall draws on his strength as a writerin his structured and improvisationalwork. He received a degree in creativewriting from Washington, “and the de¬gree helps in terms of the mechanicsand strength of writing.” Live comedy.Hall points out. combines elements oftheatre, writing, and speech, and if hehad the chance to start again “I wouldhave worked a couple of years with theSecond City troupe,” adding that“studying creative writing is not thekind of background I’d suggest to getinto this. There is no college trainingfor show business.”Hall trained himself at street fairsand festivals in Washington and alongthe West Coast in the late 70 s. “I pre¬tended to be a movie director.” Hallsaid, describing his early improvisa¬tions. "I told them I needed crowdscenes, that I was shooting a horrormovie, and that I needed monsters,too. It was sort of a floating theatre,and at the end I’d pass the hat. It got tobe very funny. ”He reached New York in 1980. and in1981 David Letterman hired him as awriter for the original David Letter-man Show, which aired on NBC week¬day mornings. “It was essentially thesame format as the show has now. butit was a little crazier then,” Hall said.He also became a regular performeron the show, which ran 17 weeks, be¬fore moving on to HBO and the popularhalf-hour program, Not Necessarilythe News.‘I still go back to do guest appear¬ances and sniglets,” said Hall, whospent 18 months at HBO. Sniglets bythe way, are words for those little ob¬ jects and feelings everyone notices, butnever knew the name for. “I startedmaking them up. and then people start¬ed sending in their ow n. ” Hall said. Hissecond book. More Sniglets, was re¬cently released “and is heading towardthe best-seller list.”Hall’s most recent success has comeas a member of NBC’s Saturday Night.Though he considers the show “excit¬ing because of the live audience everySaturday night,” he said the show hasa tired, old format. “The show itself ishealthy, but I don’t particularly carefor the format,” Hall said, “and nei¬ther does anyone else.” Censorship“Saturday Night is probably themost lenient show on television,” Hallsaid. When he wants a particular scenein a sketch Hall will usually “overwritethe sketch, throwing in some non-sequitors. The censors aren’t smartenough to realize it, but when youoverwrite a scene you have bargainingchips to you can improvise and getwfhat you want.”He added that “it’s very sneaky, butit happens a lot in network televi¬sion.” The FutureHall sees Saturday Night as his full¬time job until the summer, when he un¬dertakes a project for the cable stationShowtime. “If they keep the show an¬other year. I’ll come back,” Hall saidof SN, “but I’m not looking that farahead.”He has written some screen plays,and hopes to perform one eventually.“Right now, I’d take some smallerparts.” he said, “but I’d rather waitanother year, because I’d have to do itduring a summer.”Rich Hall From street fair improvisation to NBC'sSaturday Night, he's become a starHall’s feature for Showtime will be across-country travel log. He’s also hada couple of book offers, but referring tomovies again, Hall noted that “therearen’t many good comedies, and I’mnot going to do a Police Academy.”Hall likes to perform on the road“when I get the chance” and his showis loosely structured and involves audi¬ence particiption, “but that’s about allI can tell you.”In his spare time Hall, who lives inManhattan and is single, is “an avidrunner” and also skis. His girlfriendlives in Ireland, and he sees her aboutthree times a year, “and, yes, it is asad state of affairs.”Tickets are still available for Hall’sperformance. They may be picked upat Reynolds Club Box Office, and thecost is $5 for students and $8 for non¬students.The Days of Saturday NightHall said that the SN cast writes theshow on Mondays and Tuesdays, andessentially auditions it before the pro¬ducers on Wednesday. “We usuallyhave three to four times as much mate¬rial as we need for a show,” Hall said,“and the producers make the final de¬cisions.” Dress rehearsals fill out theweek, and the news (Hall’s favoritepart of the show) is added during thelast dress rehearsal when the castmembers volunteer material.Hall said that the w'riters usuallyscript and perform their own material,and “though there are no huge egoproblems, there is a lot of competi¬tion.”Hall performs an imitation of radiotalk-show' host Paul Harvey duringmany SN news segments.Kangaroo Club supports eclecticismBy A1 KnappIn an attempt to widen the range ofentertainment available at the U of C,the recently formed Kangaroo Club ispledged to highlighting campus eclecti¬cism.As outlined in its charter, the Kan¬garoo Club’s “first and foremost pur¬pose is to provide a medium for goodconversation.” Griff Chausee, socialchairman of the Club, noted that thegroup’s conversations aren't restrictedto any specific agenda and can rangefrom discussions of films to sports. Heviews the Club as an opportunity forthose who haven’t found a social groupwhich suits their needs.Philosophy professor Ted Cohen hasbeen chosen to serve as the group’sfirst faculty adviser. His job is to elicitconversation at the meetings and“make it provocative — not monopo¬lize it,” as the group’s Statement ofPurpose explains.The first organizational meeting washeld last quarter and while “15 20 peo¬ple had expressed interest,” very fewattended. Doug Chaite, the Club’s vice-president, pointed out that the Club hasrecently instituted weekly meetings inhopes of attracting more members. A recent success for the Club was itspresentation of Roscoe Mitchell inBond Chapel. Mitchell is a foundingmember of the American Associationfor Creative Musicians (AACM) andplays with the Chicago Art Ensemble.While not many tickets were sold oncampus, a sizable number were boughton the north side. Chaussee said theChapel was “packed” and the Club wasclose to breaking even. (To help fundthe concert, the Student GovernmentFinance Committee granted the group$300 and loaned them $1050).The Club has many ideas for the fu¬ture. They hope to present more showsfrom AACM members and other musi¬cal groups, as well as a radio show onWHPK, poetry readings, film-makingon campus, and lectures by writers.While the Club may seem to be com¬peting with the Major Activities Board,Chaussee believes his organization isactually complementary. He re¬marked that MAB is forced, by itscharter, to promote more mainstreamacts. The Kangaroo Club, without suchconstraints, can “cater to eclectics,”as Chaussee stated. Chaite sess theClub as “a clearinghouse for artisticendeavors uf anv soi l.” The Best Brunch in TownGet a bagel and lox sandwich, orange juice,coffee, tea, tomatoes, onions and donuts!We've also got the New YorkTimes and Chicago Tribune!Everyone is Welcome!Sundays, 11 a.m.-1 p.m., Cost: $200at Hillel House, 5715 S.

Thebook not only presents the history andrules of the games, but also essays,trivia, and all the vital statistics aboutbeer. Also, essential information isprovided about the debilitating, morn-ing-after-the-night-before-syndrome.The Yalies explain that a hangoveroccurs when the liver fails to removealcohol from the bloodstream. Theyfurther explain that “the liver is wherethe chemistry nerd cells of the bodygather. When alcohol reaches thesepale calculator toting misfits, thesenerds begin to perform chemistry ex¬periments to destroy it. ”According to the authors, each livercell is the body’s version of a pre-medstudent sabotaging o'her cell’s experi¬ments, resulting in a hangover. Theyalso mention popular games, such asBeer Hunter, and give each a five-level“boot-rating’’ according to its propen¬sity to have its participants worshipthe porcelain god later.

The net result ofthat activity would mean a less secureworld.”Paul Warnke has only one solution tooffer for a more secure world today:"There is no alternative to mutual as¬sured deterence...The only practicalsecurity at the present point is main¬taining a strategic balance at thelowest possible numbers and risks.And the others (solutions to arms con¬trol) are nothing but dreams.”While you waitFlyersBroadsidesHandbillslOO 4.50500 16.501000 . . . 25.508'2 " x 11" BondFrom Your Camera Ready CopyVIVID COLORS AVAILABLECopy works LtdTHE COPY CENTER INHARPER COURT5210 S.

Again noting the large sizeof Crerar’s rare hook collection, Suss¬man observed that “it was not infre¬quent that something was not where itshould he but was then found. . . whatwas knowm in 1978 was simply that theHarvey hook was not on the shelfwhere it should’ve been, and theybegan a searach for it.“It was our judgement that Crerar li¬brary was the victim of a theft —period.”The case came to trial last week inU S.

Jordan con¬cedes that the library did present suffi¬cient proof at the trial that the pieces inquestion were from Crerar. but theoverall question of negligence was notresolved, as the two parties reached anout-of-court settlement last weekend.In the terms of the agreement, theUniversity will get back the volumesstill in the estate (including the Coper¬nicus piece: along with compensationfor the unrecoverable volumes, andalso retains the right to pursue the re¬turn of three volumes (including theHarvey work) which were sold to aBoston collector.

Coach Simms unleashed hisawesome arsenal of players as theMaroons easily shut-out Chicago State9-0, and crushed conference rival LakeForest 8-1.Despite the team’s early success.Coach Simms views this season withmuch caution. He noted that althoughhis squad is defending conferencechampion, they are not favored to re¬peat this year. Ripon College, ranked11th in the nation in Division III, is thisyear’s early favorite. In addition.Simms stated that he is far from com¬fortable and satisfied with his team’sperformances. Several members of hissquad are playing with various injuriesand maladies. Simms feels that thishas been an unusually injury proneyear, and that on the whole this may bea reason why his team is playing underits potential. Simms went on to say “Ithink if we get healthy and stayhealthy, we should be okay.’’With the conference championshipjust three weeks away (incidentally, itwill be held here at the Stagg Fieldcourts May 3, 4), Simms has changedhis lineup in hopes of finding that true“knockout” punch to solidify his al¬ready potent lineup. This entails theformation of two new doubles teams.The new combinations are number onesingles player Bob Buchanan andnumber six singles player Clifford Koat first doubles, and number two sin¬gles player Jay Woldenberg andnumber five singles player PhilMowery at second doubles. Simms ex¬plained this shuffling, “The reason forthis change was in hopes of having astronger and more balanced lineup. Ifeel that this will accomplish it.” At this point of the season, two ofSimm’s players are undefeated, Bu¬chanan and number six singles,George Leyden. The rest of his lineup,Woldenberg, Henry Lujan at numberthree singles, Ko and Mowery haveeach dropped but one match so far. Bu¬chanan is currently ranked 38th in theDivision III national poll, and he shouldBy Michael IlaganOn a mythically cold April afternoonin Chicago, the University Chicagobaseball team trailed by two runsgoing into the bottom of the ninth. Theymanaged to load the bases with twoout. Their opponent, the Illinois Insti¬tute of Technology, faltered as theirpitcher walked the next batter to forcein a run. Enter HT’s pitching ace tocloseout the victory. Senior DennisWerner steps up to the plate and hits ahard grounder to short. The shortstoprushes the throw, bouncing it in the dirtpast the first baseman. Two runs scoreand the Maroons take the victory.The game showed a stunning im¬provement over past games againstIIT. In the past four years, the teamhas never come close to beating the Di¬vision II school. The Maroons are off totheir “best start in years,” accordingto assistant coach Jim Wiseman. TheMaroons took a road trip to Floridaover spring break and picked up onevictory in four games. The three loses,two to the University of West Floridaand one to Illinois Benedictine College,were overshawdowed by a 4-3 win overOtterbein College, a nationally rankedDivision III school. Wiseman stated,“We weren’t planning on winning ei¬ther game, so the wins meant a lot tous.”Pitching has contributed to theMaroons early season success. “There most certainly qualify for nationals. Asa squad, the Maroons are ranked 14thin the Midwest Region by the Intercol¬legiate Tennis Coaches Association.Simms predicts his team will be in thetop ten by the next poll.The Maroons will face Northern Illi¬nois today and then will square offis a good mixture of experience and in¬experience on the pitching staff,” ac¬cording to Wiseman. Corsan Maley, ajunior, picked up both Chicago wins inrelief. Maley leads the staff with a 2.10era in 8 innings pitched. He also hasmade five appearances in Chicago’sseven games, which has earned himthe nickname “Rubberband Man.”The starting rotation consisting of JohnShimkus, John Uglietta, Doug McNelisand Ed Ruder, have all performed wellfor the Maroons.The entire pitching staff is showingimprovement over last year. On the1984 staff, no pitcher had an era below9.00. But so far this year, five of the sixpitchers have an era below thatmark.Wiseman also maintains that the hit¬ting is coming around. Early seasongames in the midwest usually meancold weather, which is not conducive togood hitting. Along with the warmingof the temperatures, several playersare coming back from injuries. Desig¬nated hitter Bob Dickey and first base-man Eric Smith were both injuredearly in the season.Meanwhile, third baseman TomNovak leads the club in hitting with a.381 mark. Second baseman Pete Leedsleads the team in rbi’s with four, and isbatting a strong .316. against two Division I schools nextweek. Chicago plays DePaul on Mon¬day and Marquette on Wednesday,both matches to be played here at theStagg Field Courts. These matchesshould provide Simms with some indi¬cation of exactly how solid his team isand whether they are on track toward asecond season as MCAC champions.The conference title looks like a“dead heat” according to Wiseman.Lawrence University, Ripon Collegeand St. Norbert College are ail vyingfor the title, with St. Norbert as a slightfavorite. The Maroons will be able totest their progress with double headersagainst Ripon and St. Norbert’s thisweekend.ScoreboardBaseballWest Florida 9 — UC 0UC 4 — Otterbein 0West Florida 11 - UC 0Ill.

The Chicago Maroon—Friday, April 19, 1985 »- « —The Third StringThe umps come out of the closetby Craig FarberIt is of the general consensus that if you do not no¬tice the umpires it was probably a well-umpiredgame. Well, if this is the criteria, I have not seen awell-umpired game in a while. Since Richie Phillipshas taken over the umps’ reins they no longer desireto remain invisible.More and more umpires are making a concertedeffort to make sure the television announcers men¬tion their names whenever a conflict occurs. As amatter of fact, umps can be seen instigating, or atleast encouraging open conflict on the ball field. Itused to be the umps’ policy to turn their backs whenan overheated participant would approach them.Now, it is common to see an umpire chasing a man¬ager across the diamond. In an ironic twist, the um¬pire now has to be restrained from the manager.This 180 degree turn is the result of the 1979 um¬pire’s strike that was spearheaded by Umps’ unionexecutive Phillips. Phillips contended that the umpswere a vital part of the game and that they no longerwere going to be taken advantage of at the bargain¬ing table. Phillips was proved right when a notice¬able decline in umpiring quality control occurredwhile the real umps were picketing. Since then theumps have transfered their aggression onto thefield.Aggression is tolerable off the field, but aggressiveumpires only embarrass themselves. It might benice to have your name mentioned once in a while,but is it worth making a fool of yourself and yourwhole profession?Before, when an umpire would make a question¬able call, a few remarks would come from the dug-out or the mound, the ump would ignore it, and noone in the stands or at home would know what wasgoing on. Now, if an umpire hears the slightest mu¬mble from anyone, he charges after him. letting thewhole world know he has been insulted. The symbolof coolness and order on the field reduces himself toa red-faced, tobacco drooling idiot.Not only is this bad for the umps image, but it alsotarnishes baseball. Stretching an analogy, the umpsare baseball’s policemen and it does not look good tohave your cops shooting anyone who looks at themcrosseyed.Pretty soon ballplayers will be ejecting the um¬pires...The Sporting News reports that the Rangers aresaddened by the release of Mickey Rivers, but whoisn’t. Baseball’s slowly losing its characters, andMickey certainly fits into this category. In 1979 Mick¬ey was voted the dumbest player in baseball by hiscolleagues. He is not one to withhold his opinion, andhis stories can rival Yogi Berra’s. Mickey, a ren¬ounced horseplayer was at a Seattle track andshowed up late for pre-game warm-ups. When asked why he was late, Rivers blamed the traffic from thehotel to the Kingdome. Mickey was subsequentlyfined after being informed that the hotel was exactlyone block away from the stadium.As a player “Mick the Quick” sparked the Yan¬kees to two World Championships, and his impor¬tance was emphasized when the Yankees fell follow¬ing his departure to Texas. Even though he is 36, hisexperience and attitude can help any team, andplayers with his attitude are sorely needed in base¬ball.Everyone is so serious the fun is being sappedfrom baseball. These big contracts have turnedplayers into businessmen. Mickey has never beenconcerned about his salary or other business inter¬ests. All that concerns him is taking a swipe at thefirst pitch tossed...The Boston Red Sox bring their high-powered of¬fense into town today to open the Sox 1985 homeschedule. Missing from the Red Sox will be right-handed starter Bruce Kison. Kison’s career typifiesthe stupidity of baseball owners. Kison finds himselfon the DL for the umpteenth time since he signed abig contract with the Angels five years ago. and evenif he doesn’t pitch another inning, he will steal 200g’sfrom the Red Sox.How could the Red Sox give someone who spentmost of the last five years on the DL, and who had a4-5 record last year and a fat 5.57 era, any sort ofguarantees. Granted only one of the three years ofthe contract is guaranteed, but the Red Sox will beliable for Kison’s future medical treatment.Five years ago the same thing happened to theAngels. They signed Kison hoping that his injurieswere behind him. They were wrong to the tune ofthree million dollars.Kison signed an incentive-riddled contract withthe Red Sox that has already accumulated 200 g’s forone and one-third innings pitched this year.I'm sure you Sox fans remember that the Sox gotburned in a similar way when they signed “Mr. Po¬tential” Ron Blomberg.Does a lifetime contract insure history?by Dennis A. ChanskyHow much would it be worth to you to say that thegreatest home run hitter of all time, for this purposeB. Ruth, played for your team. I think it is an inter¬esting question to examine whether the Bambinostill draws people into the Stadium he built althoughhe has been dead for two generations. I think that th&-current thought on the part of some major leagueowners is that the once and future dead really canmake a difference in packing people into the ball¬park.Over in the American League, Herr Fogelman,owner of the Kansas City Royals, is attempting tosign his three biggest stars to lifetime contracts, andapparently has completed negotiations with two ofthem already. G. Brett, who will probably be re¬ membered as the greatest hitter of his era, is des¬tined to spend the rest of his baseball life in KC. Sign¬ing Brett to a lifetime contract is a questionablemove, because someday, some team will offer to letthe Royals rape their farm system in order to pryaway the aging Brett in order to make him a part-time DH/pinch hitter, possibly player/manager.And the Royals will have to refuse because of theircommittment to keep Brett in the same city hiswhole life.Therefore, it seems obvious that the Royals planon using the memory of Brett as a weapon to gainattendance. Any left-handed line drive hitter comingthrough the organization will be the “next G. Brett”even if he is only the next J. Quirk. Brett stories willfill the air waves during rain delays, so that peoplewatching baseball long after Brett is gone will feelthat they have watched him play, and will want tocheck out his old stomping ground around the hotcorner, and compare the poor stiff hanging out therenow with Kansas City’s first franchise player.Back in the National League though, there is evenmore evidence to back up the view that owners be¬lieve a player’s residual value is high if he can hon¬estly call himself the greatest at some baseball skillor another. For just as sure as Ruth is the persona ofthe homer, and just above everyone thinks that theBabe was and indeed still is the greatest home runhitter of all time. O. Smith is the greatest defensiveshortstop that probably ever lived, and just as proba¬bly. ever will be born. With that said. L. Aparicioshould not be offended, just as H. Aaron should notbe offended when people still identify the Babe as theultimate home run hitter. It is the simple truth thatRuth and Smith, the Babe and the Wiz, are two once-for-all-time-players at what they do best.So. again I ask. what would it be worth to you tosay that the greatest defensive shortstop of all timeplayed for your team? The Cardinals think that it isworth to them over two million dollars a year for thenext few years to be able to make such a claim foreternity. The Cardinals traded K. Hernandez, and hewas asking for less than w'hat Smith wanted. Her¬nandez was more important to the club and its year-in year-out fortunes than Smith, because Hernandezis debatably the greatest defensive firstbasemen ofall time, as well as being a lifetime .300 hitter, andone of the few legitimate number three hitters left inbaseball, whereas Smith borders on being one¬dimensional. unquestionably the greatest defensiveshortstop of all time, but a .250 hitter in a good sea¬son.So in the long run. the Cardinals got rid of Hernan¬dez and have kept Smith. I suppose in New York,where Henandez now leads the Mets so well, K. willalways have his devotees who will keep the vigil forhim like they do for the holy name of Gil Hodges. InSt. Louis, every little kid will be O. Smith wheneverhe reaches down for a groundball. The fans in NewYork just might have a World Series flag or two toremember the Hernandez years by. while the fans inSt. Louis will have no material possessions by whichto remember O. Smith's tenure at shortstop. Thetwo-million dollar question is who will be happier.Softball can’t get the breaksBy Geoffrey SherryThe University of Chicago women’ssoftball team has struggled to a 1-5overall record and an 0-2 conferencemark after dropping both games of theopening day doubleheader with LakeForest College.“Things started slow. Our hittingwas less than abundant and we justwere not playing well,” commentedAssistant Coach Pam Kilday.“However, it is all coming togetherand this weekend should be the realtest of our talent.”Although the loss of last year’s headcoach Cheryl Kennedy to Indiana’s Tri-State University, the graduation of lastyear’s All-Conference pitcher KarenKitchen, and a pre-season injury tostarting shortstop Kate O’Connellleaves room for rationalization, no oneis making excuses.Kilday noted, “We are a good teambut we haven’t shown it quite yet. Wecould be 3-3 right now, but we haven’tgotten the breaks at the right times.”Starting only two seniors, theMaroons are a young team with out¬standing new talent. One such rookie isfreshman phenom Kathleen McGarveyout of Oconomowae, Wisconsin.McGarvey, an infielder by trade, hasfilled the role of starting pitcher withsuch expertise as tn warrant very highpraise from coaches and fellow players. Kilday noted,” Some of thegirls think she may prove to be of thecaliber that last year’s MVP Kitchenwas.”When she is not on the mound,McGarvey is triggering things at theplate. So far, she is 7 for 18 with the batwith 6 runs scored, 1 home run, and 4stolen bases. All in all, McGarvey hashad a hand in 9 of the Maroons’ 11runs.Aside from rookies such as McGar¬vey, the Maroons can also look to vet¬erans such as seniors Dana Howd andKaren Walsh. Both mainstays of the in¬field, Howd and Walsh also join O’Con¬nell as tri-captains of this year’s squad.McGarvey observed, “Karen andDana add stability. They are respectedbecause of their experience and theyhelp form the personality of theteam.”Filling the role of head coach leftopen by Kennedy’s transfer was a diffi¬cult job at best. However, athleticdirector and head volleyball coach Ro¬salie Resch stepped in and with the aidof Kilday has proven to be a successfulreplacement. McGarvey commented,“Coach Kennedy’s departure was a bigthing but Coach Resch has done a greatjob getting us organized and is learningwith us as the season progresses.’The Maroons hosted MACW confer¬ence rival Ripon yesterday afternoon(too late for press time) and travels toSt. Norbert College this weekend for apair of doubleheaders with LawrenceUniversity and St. Norbert.

But Flau¬bert’s Parrot, while unclassifiable, isnever deliberately obscure. It is an intro¬duction to Flaubert's character, to his life,to his work, and to his parrot (stuffed, in-r'lentally, and borrowed for purposes ofdescription). If you have read “A SimpleHeart.” the story in which the parrot ap¬pears, so much the better; but you needn'teven know Madame Bovary to read Flau¬bert’s Parrot.The book conveys an enormous amountJulian Barnes of information, organizing and reshufflingthe material in lively, unconventionalways. For example, the second chapterpresents a brief chronology of Flaubert’slife (“1851-7: The writing, publication,trial and triumphant acquittal of MadameBovary. A succes de scandale...literarysuccess leads naturally to social success;Flaubert is seen more in Paris.”) Then, re¬turning to the beginning, a second chron¬icle reviews the same life from the darkerside, noting disappointments and deaths(“1851-7: Madame Bovary. The composi¬tion is painful...and the prosecution fright¬ening. In later years Flaubert comes to re¬sent the insistent fame of his masterpiece,which makes others see him as a one-bookauthor.”) The third section of this chapteris a collection of excerpts from Flaubert'sletters (“1852: What an awful thing life is,isn't it? It’s like soup with lots of hairsfloating on the surface. You have to eat itnevertheless.”) This chapter is a chronolo-Gustave FlaubertPARTY SNAKES AT COURTby Susan PawloskiThe Birthday Party by Harold Pinteropened last week at Court Theatre. Theword “brilliant” was bantered aroundquite a bit by the audience at the previewI attended, a surprising reaction, perhaps,in light of the fact that none of themembers of the audience who attendedthe post-performance discussion, nor thedirector herself (Susan DaFoe) could comeup with a satisfactory explanation ofwhat the play is about.Anyone familiar with Pinter’s workknows that this is the usual, and perhapseven the desired, reaction. All of Pinter’splays conform to the same basic plot strat¬egy: there is a room, an apartment, orsome other enclosed place whose inhabi¬tants are invaded, during the course of thedrama, by a menacing force. The effect ofthis invasion is to cause all sorts of ques¬tions about the original nature of thespace and its inhabitants to be raised,questions that Pinter leaves to the experi¬ences of the audience for an answer.In The Birthday Party, the enclosedplace is a seedy boarding house at a sea¬side resort, and its inhabitants are Meg,its middle-aged proprietor, Petey, herhusband, their sole boarder, a demora¬lized pianist, and Lulu, the “buxom” girlnext door.Enter the Menace, in the form of Gold¬berg and McCann, a pair of grey-suitedrepresentatives from a mysterious orga¬nization. They systematically reduce Stan¬ley into a catatonic stupor, put a suit onhim, give him a shave, and take him awayin Goldberg's big, black, automobile, leav¬ing Meg, Petey, and LuLu alone in the liv¬ing room with the question: who are Gold¬berg and McCann, and what could theypossibly want with a demoralized ex¬pianist?In attempting to answer this question, itis helpful to think of Goldberg and McCannin terms of an abstract, rather than a real,menace; it has been suggested that thecrisp, grey business suits that Goldbergand McCann wear designate them as rep¬resentatives of bourgeois society, and that Stanley, their unsnaven, unkempt vic¬tim, is the faltering artist whom societysucceeds in driving back in to the main¬stream. On another level, Goldberg andMcCann could be seen to represent Stan¬ley's fear of mortality. His threats to Megabout “a van with a wheelbarrow in it”seem to indicate that he is preoccupiedwith the idea of his own death. Also whenhe is taken away in the “big, black, auto¬mobile” he is wearing the customary at¬tire and demeanor of a corpse.The cast at Court is uniformly goodabout handling their parts; their perfor¬mances invite both belief and differing in¬terpretations. Of special note is LaurelCronin, who brings a giggling, sensible-yet-simple-minded, dimpled and doll-likecharm to the part of Meg that makes herespecially believable in her dual functionas lover and mother to Stanley. Throughthe character that she creates, she man¬ages the difficult task of appearing posi¬tive and negative, adorable yet pathetic,with no apparent contradiction.Likewise, Mark Robbins' peevish, help¬less, Stanley is both believable as ahuman being and as a combatant in an ab¬stract conflict. Also, he looks exactly asPinter describes him. Ann Down (Lulu)whose face is as familiar to us this seasonas that of Ingrid Blekys was last season,relies a little too heavily on her leatherminiskirt; she has the polished look of aprofessional, rather than the innocent vul¬garity that is attributed to Lulu. NicholasRudall is charming as Goldberg; he couldbe a little less attractive, I think. BradleyMott’s cherub’s face makes him all themore chilling as McCann, the henchman.Patrick Billingsley gives a solid perfor¬mance, as always, in the role of Petey.The Birthday Party has been aroundlong enough to be considered a classic, butbecause of its abstract content it is less ac¬cessible than the other “Great Plays” per¬formed at Court Theatre this season. Aprior reading of the play will definitelyenhance your enjoyment of the play, but inany case, Court’s production is to be en¬joyed. April 19, 1985 • 17th YearFLAUBERT'S PARROT:BIRD OF A FAMOUS MANgy, or the three chronologies; Chapter 11,“Louise Colet’s Version,” is a fictionalmonologue by Flaubert’s mistress, conjec¬tural insights which would be too intimate,unacceptable if spoken in the narrator’svoice. “The Flaubert Beastiary” traces theanimals in his life and work: animals usedto characterize (Flaubert described him¬self as a bear; his sister was his “littlerat”); dogs that he lived owned or invent¬ed; a five-legged freak sheep; he ad¬mired; and the parrot, with whom Flau¬bert shared the gift of language and thecurse of epilepsy.“The Flaubert Apocrypha” discusses thelife-plans Flaubert didn’t carry out, aswell as the works he didn’t write. The pen¬ultimate chapter is flippantly cast in theform of an exam, for example: “Section B.Part 9: Assess the technical difficulties in¬volved in implementing the followingstage direction (from one of Flaubert'sflops): i he Stock-Pot, the handles of which have been transformed into wings, risesinto the air and turns itself over, andwhile it increases in size so that it appearsto hover over the whole town, the vegeta¬bles — carrots, turnips and leeks — thatcome out of it remain suspended in the airand turn into luminous constellations.”The fifteen chapters are each ap¬proaches — little rushes from differentsides — to the subject of Flaubert. But thebook is also a novel about its narrator,and the style of the attacks meanwhile il-luninates the character of the retiringGeoffrey Braithewaite. “60+ widowedd o c -tor ... active, cheerful if inclined to melan¬choly, kindly, nonsmoker, amateur Flau¬bert scholar.” That’s how he describeshimself at one point squirming at the unat¬tractiveness imposed by the style, andpointing out the unavoidable distortion ofself-description. In fact, why describe him¬self at all? Braithewaite shares manyMorrisey say: Closer comes the screaming knife This beautiful creature must diePIGMEAT IS MURDERby Paul ReubensIf pigs had wings, they would look some¬thing like flesh-colored butterflies, or atleast that is how screenwriters MichaelPalin and Malcolm Mobray would proba¬bly pen it if they had thought of includingthat vision in their first cinematic colla¬boration. What I mean is that the ‘star’ oftheir movie A Private Function is a pig,and a fine, strapping one at that. Andwhat a pig he is: so fat, so adorable, andso good-tempered that he puts the legiti¬mate leads of the picture, tried talentslike Maggie Smith and Denholm Elliot, toshame. There is something so pleasantabout pigs, we feel as we leave thetheatre; something about their rosy pinksnouts, their flapping soft ears, and theircurly little tails, that makes us want torush out to the nearest slaughterhouse,push the butcher away from his prey, andadapt a porcine beast as a house pet.A Private Function is a perfect exampleof that savage sort of British comedywhich only they can do really well — thefilm-makers of other nations would onlybury themselves in the sheer depressionof their subject. It is the British alone whocan take a certain attitude toward a sadsubject, turn it abruptly inside out, andoveranalyze it until it becomes satirical,working, self-parody. In my opinion, thissort of over-analytical satire, and thenasty, over-indulgent and leering sex-farce, are the two forms of modern come¬dy most readiy assimilated abroad. A Pri¬vate Function occasionally laughs at thegentle pathos of its own subject, in a waythat is both dark and abruptly hila,.ous(although one always feels slightly dirtyfor having laughed). But who would ex¬pect any other treatment from a moviestarring, and partially written by, amember of the productive Monty Pythontroup?It is a homey sort of picture. Set in asmall British town during the perioci fol¬lowing World War II (specifically the daysof that sumptuous Royal Wedding of Elisa¬beth and Phillip), A Private Functiontraces the travails of a number of vil¬lagers in the quest for enough food to fill booby prize on Let's Make a Deal, an oldcow, would be of inestimable value here) ablack market pig. Elliot plays a hatefulman here, a fellow possessed of no charityor kindness at all, who wants the animalmerely for a society dinner celebratingthe Royal Wedding. Palin, as the meek,kind, town foot doctor (he clips women’stoenails and hangs an enormous foot out¬side his shop) steals the poor pig as ameans of avenging himself on the societythat scorns him.And whatever else can we say aboutthat sweet, sweet pig? Well, because ofthe unhealthy rat diet he lives on, he issuffering from intestinal disorders, and —while the scenes in which the animalscampers about, befouling Palin’s happyhome, are as offensive as can be — thepoor animal’s journeys and treatmentspresents perfectly the illness of desire,and the indignities and pain people arewilling to undergo as a price for obtainingwhat they want.In fact, a long-winded explanationwould be that all the folks in A PrivateFunction are willing to pay a large pricefor the satisfaction of their appetites;from Palin's act of hog-stealing, to a port¬ly accountants' retrieval of a piece of mar¬zipan from a pile of toenai1 clippings. Inthe audience, we watch the squabblingand we laugh, but there is a certain poi-gancy about the whole thing — that peo¬ple in a so-called civilized country could bereduced to such levels to obtain anything.The irony of setting the films concurrentlywith the Royal Wedding is not lost: thecontrast between the possessors and thehomeless is never more clear as one person in the film says, to make this contrastmost apparent, “my wife talks about onlytwo subjects, the royal family and thestate of her bowels ” But nothing less is tobe expected from an ex-Python, likePalin.And yet, oddly enough, it is Palin whohas the least humorous role in the entirefilm; he plays a gentle fellow, a manthwarted by Mr Life, who sees the pig asa chance to better his position, and returnto that golden age of plenty He, like theConnie Booth character in the popular oldHnti'iti Itilmiiiiii ill characteristics with Flaubert, including agrouchy dislike of his own era, and a suspi¬cion that the writer’s personality is notsignificant. Why then this book? “Whatmatters about me?” Or about Flaubert?"Why does the writing make us chase thewriter? Why aren't the books enough?”And “how do we seize the past? Can weever do so?” Furthermore, “what knowl¬edge is useful, what knowledge is true?”And “what makes us want to know theworse?...Does curiosity always hurdleself-interest? Or is it, more simply thatwanting to know the worst is love’s favor¬ite perversion?” These questions andothers throughout the book are savedfrom being irritating because they arewell-chosen. The questions themselves areas good as an essay on problems so knottythey cannot be solved: death and infideli¬ty, life and art and history. What are they,what makes them right or inappropriate,how are we to examine or judge them? Julian Barnes is good at clear, potentlanguage and his book is a rich work offantasy and reality viewed with imagina¬tion. But the heavy, heavy use of quota¬tion leads to a couple of problems. Relyingmostly on Flaubert's letters, Barnes usesto his advantage the inconsistencies thatarise in anyone's correspondence; com¬pletely diverging views can always besupported with excerpts from writing thatvaries with the topic, the mood, and the in¬tended recipient. Second, Barnes (orBraithewaite) in his love for Flaubert issometimes too easily moved by the writ¬er's bon mots: like a doting parent, hepresents a quotation without comment,expecting us always to see its beauty.But difficulties are inevitable in thebirth of a new form: and no novel or biog¬raphy like this one has ever existed be¬fore. Flaubert's Parrot is very pithy, and“if inclined to melancholy” a very funnybook.Polly fhe NarratorDIFFERENCE: HUH?by Abigail AsherSeveral of the works in this show looklike Paco Rabanne ads — pretty picturesand snippets of text —; unfortunately,there is no advertising motive, so the mes¬sage is not so clear.On display at the Renaissance Societythrough April 21, “Difference: On Repre¬sentation and Sexuality” includes Britishand American works from the 1970s and80s. The garbled introductory note byguest curator Kate Linker declares thatthe exhibition's thesis is “the continuousproduction of difference in language.” Aclearer thinker (Paul Smi(h, in Art inAmerica) described the show's doublequestion to be the relationship between“representation and sexual difference”and between “text and image.” Provoca¬tive questions enough; but not only arethey not answered by the works — theyaren't even articulately asked.Silvia Kolbowski s “Model Pleasure,” aseries of sets of borrowed images — most¬ly fashion plates — may have been con¬ceived as an attack on advertising and thestandardization of femininity; but itdoesn't come across that way. Instead itlooks like just a collection — pictures offaces over here, shoes there, double por¬traits up there.Most of the works dip into the jargonand issues of gender and text and sym¬bols, but the elusive, intangible nature oftheir references to psychology and artleave one longing for a thoughtful, order¬ly discourse on the subject. The works maybe linear in layout (many of them are a series of framed pictures and blocks oftext) but they are not linear in throughtprogression. Sometimes this is on purpose:Mary Kelly’s “Post-Partum Document” re¬cords her son’s early months in a “dar¬ingly” incoherent manner, showing us onlytranscripts of nursery conversations andsmears of the boy's feces. To exclude ele¬ments that would allow the work visual ortextual coherence is an idea, but not nec¬essarily a good idea.Nor are Sherrie Levine's “appropria¬tions” of works by male artists. She hasphotographed Walker Evans photographsand Egon Schiele paintings, and offersthem to us unaltered. The unavoidable fe¬minism of a show with a sex-and-gendertheme heightens one's awareness of WhichSex of Artist is Presenting What; and Ithink it is counterproductive for a womanto be shown hanging her baby's poop on awall, or photographing someone else'swork and presenting it as art.The deliberately obscure little collec¬tions of words and images have a depress¬ing similarity to one another, and it’s notsurprising that the most forceful works inthe show are Barbara Kruger’s hugeblack-and-white pieces carrying one pho¬tograph and a single phrase, and JeffWall's equally large color transparency ofhimself photographing a woman in his stu¬dio. There is no text with this picture; butthe emotions mingling in the looks andstances of both figures lead more directlyto a consideration of gender and represen¬tation that than any of the sketchy textsslapped onto the other works.nil IUUI 1IIUI MUML Ul MILmembers of the audience who attendedthe post-performance discussion, nor thedirector herself (Susan DaFoe) could comeup with a satisfactory explanation ofwhat the play is about.Anyone familiar with Pinter’s workknows that this is the usual, and perhapseven the desired, reaction. All of Pinter'splays conform to the same basic plot strat¬egy: there is a room, an apartment, orsome other enclosed place whose inhabi¬tants are invaded, during the course of thedrama, by a menacing force. The effect ofthis invasion is to cause all sorts of ques¬tions about the original nature of thespace and its inhabitants to be raised,questions that Pinter leaves to the experi¬ences of the audience for an answer.In The Birthday Party, the enclosedplace is a seedy boarding house at a sea¬side resort, and its inhabitants are Meg,its middle-aged proprietor, Petey, herhusband, their sole boarder, a demora¬lized pianist, and Lulu, the “buxom” girlnext door.Enter the Menace, in the form of Gold¬berg and McCann, a pair of grey-suitedrepresentatives from a mysterious orga¬nization. They systematically reduce Stan¬ley into a catatonic stupor, put a suit onhim, give him a shave, and take him awayin Goldberg’s big, black, automobile, leav¬ing Meg, Petey, and LuLu alone in the liv¬ing room with the question: who are Gold¬berg and McCann, and what could theypossibly want with a demoralized ex-piamst?In attempting to answer this question, itis helpful to think of Goldberg and McCannin terms of an abstract, rather than a real,menace: it has been suggested that thecrisp, grey business suits that Goldbergand McCann wear designate them as rep¬resentatives of bourgeois society, and uuuui u Mill I uumi a WIIBBIUHIIUW ill useem to indicate that he is preoccupiedwith the idea of his own death. Also whenhe is taken away in the “big, black, auto¬mobile” he is wearing the customary at¬tire and demeanor of a corpse.The cast at Court is uniformly goodabout handling their parts; their perfor¬mances invite both belief and differing in¬terpretations. Of special note is LaurelCronin, who brings a giggling, sensible-yet-simple-minded, dimpled and doll-likecharm to the part of Meg that makes herespecially believable in her dual functionas lover and mother to Stanley. Throughthe character that she creates, she man¬ages the difficult task of appearing posi¬tive and negative, adorable yet pathetic,with no apparent contradiction.Likewise, Mark Robbins’ peevish, help¬less, Stanley is both believable as ahuman being and as a combatant in an ab¬stract conflict. Also, he looks exactly asPinter describes him. Ann Down (Lulu)whose face is as familiar to us this seasonas that of Ingrid Blekys was last season,relies a little too heavily on her leatherminiskirt; she has the polished look of aprofessional, rather than the innocent vul¬garity that is attributed to Lulu. NicholasRudall is charming as Goldberg: he couldbe a little less attractive, I think. BradleyMott's cherub’s face makes him all themore chilling as McCann, the henchman.Patrick Billingsley gives a solid perfor¬mance, as always, in the role of Petey.The Birthday Party has been aroundlong enough to be considered a classic, butbecause of its aostract content it is less ac¬cessible than the other “Great Plays” per¬formed at Court Theatre this season. Aprior reading of the play will definitelyenhance your enjoyment of the play, but inany case. Court’s production is to be en¬joyed.GANG: OUT WITH A BANGGang of FourAt The Palace (Mercury—Import)Gang of Four has progressed consider¬ably from their early beginnings at LeedsUniversity Since that time, their music hasevolved from post punk to close-funk.Some argue that Gang of Four’s laterworks are a sellout to commercialism, thatthey lack the raw energy found on theirnow classic debut, Entertainment. Thisclaim can be seen as unfounded after lis¬tening to their latest effort, At The Pal¬aceAt The Palace is a recording of Gang ofFour's final performance, given in May of1984. The album, as was any Gang of Fourconcert, is a testimony to the band’s en¬ergy and vitality. Many of the songs dis¬play a new force not present in the studioversions. Such tracks as “We Live as WeDream. Alone” and “The History of theWorld display a rawness which heightens their effectiveness and better suits theirlyrical content. Andy Gill’s guitar pro¬vides a new-found edge which was lost inmany of Gang of Four’s later studio ef¬forts. In general, At The Palace givesproof of the continued intensity of Gang ofFour.The range of songs on the album is ex¬cellent, providing samples from everyperiod of the group’s career — this wasquite intentional, as it was Gang of Four'sfarewell performance. As their final song,the band chose to play “one last ballad,”their abrasive single, “To Hell With Po¬verty.”On a final note, Gang of Four cife no dis¬tinct reasons for their breakup. Theymerely state that they suffer from theever-present “musical differences.” Onething is certain, however: At The Palacewill stand as a tribute to the greatnessthat was once Gang of Four. —Rick Woj-cik PIGMEAT IS IIby Paul ReubensIf pigs had wings, they would look some¬thing like flesh-colored butterflies, or atleast that is how screenwriters MichaelPalin and Malcolm Mobray would proba¬bly pen it if they had thought of includingthat vision in their first cinematic colla¬boration. What I mean is that the ‘star’ oftheir movie A Private Function is a pig,and a fine, strapping one at that. Andwhat a pig he is: so fat, so adorable, andso good-tempered that he puts the legiti¬mate leads of the picture, tried talentslike Maggie Smith and Denholm Elliot, toshame. There is something so pleasantabout pigs, we feel as we leave thetheatre; something about their rosy pinksnouts, their flapping soft ears, and theircurly little tails, that makes us want torush out to the nearest slaughterhouse,push the butcher away from his prey, andadapt a porcine beast as a house pet.A Private Function is a perfect exampleof that savage sort of British comedywhich only they can do really well — thefilm-makers of other nations would onlybury themselves in the sheer depressionof their subject. It is the British alone whocan take a certain attitude toward a sadsubject, turn it abruptly inside out, andoveranalyze it until it becomes satirical,working, self-parody. In my opinion, thissort of over-analytical satire, and thenasty, over-indulgent and leering sex-farce, are the two forms of modern come¬dy most readiy assimilated abroad. A Pri¬vate Function occasionally laughs at thegentle pathos of its own subject, in a waythat is both dark and abruptly hilarious(although one always feels slightly dirtyfor having laughed). But who would ex¬pect any other treatment from a moviestarring, and partially written by, amember of the productive Monty Pythontroup?It is a homey sort of picture. Set in asmall British town during the period fol¬lowing World War II (specifically the daysof that sumptuous Royal Wedding of Elisa¬beth and Phillip), A Private Functiontraces the travails of a number of vil¬lagers in the quest for enough food to filltheir ration-starved bellies. “Fair sharesfor all” is the motto of the powers above,and that means just enough food to makeit worthwhile for farmers to plop rats intothe farm-feed grinders to fatten up theirbeasts and profits. The major problem isone of the rarity of good, wholesome meat— everyone wants it, but there just isn’tenough to go around — and it is a shockingand silly thing to see these rotund British¬ers scrabbling around for whatever foodthey can find, and talking lovingly aboutgetting their hands on a mythical unli¬censed pig. Much of the humor of the film,as is common in most Python-involvedmovies, comes from mocking man’s occa¬sional dehumanization, and the class dif¬ferences between the upper and lowerechelons. Here, too, the Toffs are thoseable to afford, through wealth and classinfluence, to deal on the black market forthe most vital of necessities. The wealthy,personified by Denholm Elliot's rich doc¬tor, are still bound by Mr. Ration-bpok,but have the influence necessary to ac¬quire a necessary commodity like (it sud¬denly occurs to me, that the worth of the boobycow, wblackman heor kincmerelythe Rokind, titoenail:side himeansthat seeAndthat svthe unisufferinwhilescampehome,poor cpresentand thiwillingwhat th<In ftwouldFunctiofor thefrom Pcly accoizipan fithe auiand wegancy £pie in areducecThe iroiwith th<contraslhomele:son in lmost aptwo sustate ofbe expPalin.And )has thefilm; hethwarteca chancto thatConnieBritish 1the eteistandsviewersworld.

Shethe pig £tion in tfequal fopletely uThe fichosenthose wfcommonemergeswith a fiia darksatisfyingS MURDERbooby prize on Let’s Make a Deal, an oldcow, would be of inestimable value here) ablack market pig. Elliot plays a hatefulman here, a fellow possessed of no charityor kindness at all, who wants the animalmerely for a society dinner celebratingthe Royal Wedding. Palin, as the meek,kind, town foot doctor (he clips women’stoenails and hangs an enormous foot out¬side his shop) steals the poor pig as ameans of avenging himself on the societythat scorns him.And whatever else can we say aboutthat sweet, sweet pig? Well, because ofthe unhealthy rat diet he lives on, he issuffering from intestinal disorders, and —while the scenes in which the animalscampers about, befouling Palin’s happyhome, are as offensive as can be — thepoor animal’s journeys and treatmentspresents perfectly the illness of desire,and the indignities and pain people arewilling to undergo as a price for obtainingwhat they want.In fact, a long-winded explanationwould be that all the folks in A PrivateFunction are willing to pay a large pricefor the satisfaction of their appetites;from Palin’s act of hog-stealing, to a port¬ly accountants' retrieval of a piece of mar¬zipan from a pile of toenail clippings. Inthe audience, we watch the squabblingand we laugh, but there is a certain poi-gancy about the whole thing — that peo¬ple in a so-called civilized country could bereduced to such levels to obtain anything.The irony of setting the films concurrentlywith the Royal Wedding is not lost: thecontrast between the possessors and thehomeless is never more clear — as one per¬son in the film says, to make this contrastmost apparent, “my wife talks about onlytwo subjects, the royal family and thestate of her bowels.” But nothing less is tobe expected from an ex-Python, likePalin.And yet, oddly enough, it is Palin whohas the least humorous role in the entirefilm; he plays a gentle fellow, a manthwarted by Mr. Life, who sees the pig asa chance to better his position, and returnto that golden age of plenty. He. like theConnie Booth character in the popular oldBritish television series Fawlty Towers, isthe eternal straight man — the one whostands in the background and is theviewers eyepiece into this irrational, sillyworld. Maggie Smith, amazing performerthat she is has an amazing time here asPalin's social climbing wife — of courseanyone would have a fine time sayingthings like “No, we aren't going to put youaway mother, and there is a pig.” Shethunders about her home like a minor Mrs.Lovett, brandishing her butcher's knife,and crawling on all fours like a mad thing,trying to catch and butcher her husbandspig. She is the one of the family who seesthe pig as a means of raising her own posi¬tion in the town, perhaps placing her on anequal footing with the venomous and com¬pletely unadmirable Denholm Elliot.The Monty Python troup had alwayschosen as its particular target for ridiculethose who needlessly lord it over the morecommon people. Some of this hatredemerges in this movie, and is combinedwith a fine sense of the outrageous and ofa dark imagination. It is indeed a verysatisfying combination. uip uispiay hi iii^ iisiiau.saHLM subiytythrough April 21, “Difference: On Repre¬sentation and Sexuality” includes Britishand American works from the 1970s and80s. The garbled introductory note byguest curator Kate Linker declares thatthe exhibition’s thesis is “the continuousproduction of difference in language.” Aclearer thinker (Paul Smi(h, in Art inAmerica) described the show’s doublequestion to be the relationship between“representation and sexual difference”and between “text and image.” Provoca¬tive questions enough; but not only arethey not answered by the works — theyaren't even articulately asked.Silvia Kolbowski’s “Model Pleasure,” aseries of sets of borrowed images — most¬ly fashion plates — may have been con¬ceived as an attack on advertising and thestandardization of femininity; but itdoesn’t come across that way. Instead itlooks like just a collection — pictures offaces over here, shoes there, double por¬traits up there.Most of the works dip into the jargonand issues of gender and text and sym¬bols, but the elusive, intangible nature oftheir references to psychology and artleave one longing for a thoughtful, order¬ly discourse on the subject. The works maybe linear in layout (many of them are a uyiiyimiMs w nufs&ry MfW^Lons andsmears of the boy’s feces. To exclude ele¬ments that would allow the work visual ortextual coherence is an idea, but not nec¬essarily a good idea.Nor are Sherrie Levine’s “appropria¬tions” of works by male artists. She hasphotographed Walker Evans photographsand Egon Schiele paintings, and offersthem to us unaltered. The unavoidable fe¬minism of a show with a sex-and-gendertheme heightens one s awareness of WhichSex of Artist is Presenting What; and Ithink it is counterproductive for a womanto be shown hanging her baby’s poop on awall, or photographing someone else’swork and presenting it as art.The deliberately obscure little collec¬tions of words and images have a depress¬ing similarity to one another, and it’s notsurprising that the most forceful works inthe show are Barbara Kruger's hugeblack-and-white pieces carrying one pho¬tograph and a single phrase, and JeffWall’s equally large color transparency ofhimself photographing a woman in his stu¬dio.

APRIL 19, 1985—5UNTITLEDby Amy O’ConnorI wasn’t afraid of water, but I spent the morningrunning from the waves and the writhing seaweedblobs they carried to shore to wrap around myankles and drag me under. I took no chance of let¬ting them touch my feet, but my sister drapedstrands of it over her head and chased me downthe beach. My mother sdnned herself, towelless, inthe sand and tried to be a laissez-faire parent.When, at times, she would lose this battle with her¬self, she sat bolt upright and shouted a warningnot to go out so far. We heeded her, more afraid ofinvoking the wrath of the woman iced with copper-tone than anything else. Behind her lounged an¬other woman, and her mocking chastisement mademy mother's unspoken panic less oppressive. Marywas not afraid of her. She defended my sister and Inot because she loved us; more she loved to pro¬voke my mother and enjoyed their subtle rivalryfor our affection. I loved Mary for her boominglaugh and the simple fact that she had secretswhere my mother wore her pathos on her brow forall to see. I learned early that my mother cravedidolatry like others crave acceptance, but from herchildren and her lover nothing less would suffice.For Mary and I this knowledge was a tool and aweapon to get what we wanted or to punish herwhen we were mistreated.My sister Sarah was precocious and untamed,with six years of untouched tangles in her mattedhead and a wiry body peppered with bruises,scrapes and freckles. I, who had long since been do¬mesticated, was fragile, pale, and insanely jealousof the respectful nonchalance Sarah warrantedfrom the two women. When she fell they laughedaffectionately. When I fell the shame of my incon¬gruous clumsiness, coupled with everyone’s con¬cern. was almost too much to bear. Sometimes, inprivate, I would manifest my rage at my sister with my teeth and my fists, and she would alwaysabsorb her punishment in silence. No one ever no¬ticed an extra bruise or a bite mark on her stringybody, and certainly no one would suspect me ofsuch malice. But on this day we were comrades,united against our common enemy on the sand whokept us tethered to her with verbal warnings andthreats if we ventured out too far.In the cabin the facade of comfort was perpe¬tuated by our conscious efforts at unity: my motherperched in the corner of the musky couch with aperfunctory arm thrown around Mary’s shoulder.Mary, basking in an aura of power and magnitude,stroked my flaxen head on her lap as she would adocile pet. I looked askance at my book on the cof¬fee table, The World of Tyrannosaurus Rex (a giftfrom Mary), and even the tedium of reading itseemed infinitely more palatable than the pres¬sure of her rough hand on my face and the mount¬ing tension between the two women. Envywrenched my stomach when Sarah galloped in,slamming the screen door behind her, jolting us allto the knowledge that she was gracing us with herpresence, albeit temporarily. She flopped on therug like a setter home from a hunt, establishingher distance from the taciturn scene we made.“Sarah, do you want to go play frisbee with me?” Iimplored from my comproftiised horizontal posi¬tion, desperate to be free from the sunburnt legsbeneath my cheek and the cloying coconut of mymother's suntan oil, but too polite to assert myselfdirectly. She affirmed the plan and grabbed mybeloved glow-in-the-dark frisbee.That frisbee was my bittersweet reward thesummer before. I was one of twenty third prizewinners in the Kellogg’s Bicentennial Art Contest. Irecall being awakened out of a vivid dream oneSunday morning that summer by my mother bran¬dishing a cereal box with the contest notice. “Firstprize is a hundred dollars,” she declared, “Andyou know we don’t have a lot of money. It couldn’thurt to try, could it? It’s not as if I make you do alot of work around the house.” My stony, level6—FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1985—GREY CITY JOURNALBill Mudge glare forced her to try another tactic. “Amy, youare such a good artist, and you always say youwant to be one when you grow up, so here's yourchance to start! Of course it’s up to you. I’m notgoing to say another word about it.’’ I was notmoved. Little did she know that I had no desire tobe an artist any more, and every intention of beinga vet. How revealing that she was not up to dateon this new and most important develpment in mylife. From the kitchen I heard Mary’s clogged, gra¬velly voice say “You shouldn’t push her like that,it’s not healthy, especially at that age...’’ and mymother’s scathing rebuke “Don't tell me how toraise my kids.’’ Resigned to my fate, and being re¬sourceful, I found a way to incorporate my passionfor animals, neutrality on Kellogg's cereal, anddefinite dispassion for Bicentennial celebrationsinto a picture of Betsy Ross on a horse, taking abreak from sewing the flag by enjoying a bowl ofFrosted Flakes. Third prize was a heavy blow tomy mother, but she absorbed the shock with graceand dignity.Sarah and I ran from the cabin and tumbleddown the dunes, inebriated with the thrill of eman¬cipation and our new found solidarity. She askedme “Why don’t mom and Mary have the same roomat home like they do here?’’ I pondered this query,and snapped back “Because we’re on vacation,stupid.’’ A very perplexing question, but I wasglad Mary had her own room at home, even if shenever slept there. It was the only room in the housewe were expressly forbidden to enter without ex¬plicit permission, and even then I did with trepida¬tion. The walls were black; a myriad of candlestook the place of lights, and a smell, musky anddisorienting, permeated the air even when no in¬cense was burning. It made y life a little more ex¬citing, for on those rare occasions when I was alonein the house, I could amuse myself for hours stand¬ing outside the door, fantasizing about what god¬less creature lurked in Mary’s room when shewasn’t home. At the peak of this fervor, I would extend a damp and clammy hand to the doorknoband fling it open, always screaming in terror andrunning, eyes clenched, before I got a glimpse ofthe monster.On the horizon I could see the sun, a quarter ofthe way down, glowing like my frisbee, emittingrays pinker than my sister's sunburn. The watersurface was a flat sheet of opalescent plastic, itsflawless demeanor broken only at the shore wheretiny waves lapped at my ankles affectionately, re¬signed that they had no power to pull me under.The panorama was pierced by the yellow disc sail¬ing over my head into the sunset, finally making agraceful landing somewhere in the distance. I gavemy sister, the culprit, an “I’ll get you for thislater1' glare and stepped forward, eyes closed,into the water. Waist deep, I recoiled in disgust asmud oozed between my toes, and my feet were nolonger part of me. I couldn’t see them, or anythingbelow my navel. The odds that ferocious sea mon¬sters were waiting for dinner just a little deeper inwere simply too great for my cautious sensibilities.But I couldn’t go back. My frisbee was floating fur¬ther and further away, and I imagined that it waseven more scared than me. I opened my eyes, butthe frisbee had merged with the surface and couldnot be seen. I waded up to my neck, groping in thevain hopes that it was not evading me with everyawful step. I started to cry, first for my frisbee,that it should have to float for eternity in this vastexpanse of black water, then for myself whenpanic seized me, and the distance back to shoreseemed almost as far as the distance ahead. Withsteely determination I plowed my way to thebeach and ran to the cabin where Mary’s armsrocked my shivering frame to sleep.Mary’s labored breathing woke me at midnight.I sat erect, rested my chin on the back of the danksofa, and peered out the window. The moon swepton the lake like an empty spotlight, and a tinyneon disc meandered into the glow and danced abit in the glittery moonlight.GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1985—7— -8—FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1985—GREY CITY JOURNAI She was sometimes, but not too often, pitied. Itwas mentioned once that she was perhaps tooproud or particular to accept the men she could get.Vet the instances upon which even speculation pro¬ceeded far were few and far between. Virginity,or celibacy for that matter, is a wall still standingand seems to be of little conversational worth untilit topples. So sublimely disinterested in onedeemed so childlike, they failed to observe the dis¬tinction. it never occurred to them that, as at timesthey closed their doors against the prudish and theprurient, she closed her door against their fears.Their distaste of being viewed and judged neverextended to a realization that they, too, were seen(and thus protected) as children.But upon one occasion it was noted that a classi¬cally beautiful brunette was observed to havegreeted her with exuberance, an embrace, and akiss, long and full on her mouth.PHOTOS BY BILL MUDGEby G.M.B.As a wallflower she blossomed. She was be¬lieved to be so lacking in either desire or desirabil¬ity as to be another species. She was not whollyunattractive but the awkward, vulnerable appealwas generally dispelled by the austere wit or therude cold anger she occasionally revealed. The fig¬ure being passable for its type and the eyes andhair not bad, she appeared marketable, consider¬ing what goes. Yet few knew of any offers madeand with the subject lacking even the level of inter¬est required for rumor, she was consistently treat¬ed with a benign condescension usually reservedfor particularly inoffensive children. Within thisatmosphere she grew to be acceptable because ofher “rejection” and popular by reason of her lackof popularity. Her number of friends and well-wishers increased as it was more openly recog¬nized that here was most certainly Not A Threat. AMICUS USQUEAD ARASby G.M.B.I awoke with the sense of crushed rosemary. Notso much the aroma or flavor but rather the sense ofloss lingered. It was as if I, in scooping up a handfulquickly, too readily, had not gathered the nettlesintact but had broken some and stained my hands.After the sleep of an obsession neither safe norsound, its presence swelled in the folds of the earlylinen, and the blowing curtains.In reaching for the robe on the chair I again sawher letter. It had waited for me where I had placedit the night before, down from the pillow, out ofarm’s way, on the floor by the bed. Over two yearsago her fingertips pressed the page and her ton¬gue touched the seal of the envelope. She has for¬gotten that it exists, I’m sure; it isn’t as if it’s alove letter. But at times the paper is her vellumskin, a sultry parchment, and I read her soft liquideyes of ink. And I am illegibly, indelibly blottedwith this permeant, permanent passion.My lovely friend was not so conscientious as toalways remain completely clothed in my presencebefore she knew that I loved her. Now, now thatshe’s under my skin and I’ve touched her nervesexposed, she is careful not to tempt me. She doesnot realize how slowly and wholly she tantalizesme simply by removing her earrings. I am givencore and rind but denied the flesh while Christ andthe Devil cry in unison, “Take, eat!” I, too, havelived in Eden.Men have wanted and got less and more than I.While she has responded to their caresses, mylonging has been mortar and pestle powdered intomy fingertips, dissolved into my palms. I’veburned in such anxious caution and acute sensitivi¬ty that I could only be tender. Yet this inexhaust¬ible torch has always flamed without fuel, unwill¬ingly, with purity, for the desire she inspires isneither consumed nor consummated.At some point I took up the letter again; in thiscontinum it little matters when. I no longer ask formore than this of my love, that on this page she ismine. For here on paper I can again be in her bed¬room, sitting beside her as she cries, both of usshivering from cold and caring. My nose and cheekfind the soft of her throat; I don’t dare kiss her. Ifeel the small completeness of her body warm andreal, full in my arms, against my heart. It is only onpaper that I can have more. There is no exultationor alarm, just the occasional, inevitable flood ofspeech followed by words dropping like stones tobe drowned and then her sudden empathetic trem¬bling. However it may end, it will do so, I fear, notwith any fulfillment of the usual senses but, as itbegan, with the insistence of crushed rosemary.UNTITLEDrAre You Good EnoughTbJoinTheBestInThe Nuclear Field?
