The Chicago MaroonVolume 94, No. 52 The University of Chicago Friday, May 17. 1985Police uncooperativesay El attack victimsWilliam J. Wilson, the Lucy Flower Distinguished ServiceProfessor and Chairman of Sociology will speak on“Cycles of Deprivation and the Underclass Debate” in theninth annual Social Service Review Lecture, next Tuesday,May 21 at 4 pm in room E-1 of the SSA building, 969 E. 60thSt. The lecture is free and open to the public. Several students who wereassaulted at the 55th StreetGarfield El stop have raisedquestions about whether theChicago Police handled thecase correctly and what canbe done to make that El Stopsafer in the future.On May 6 at 11:30 pm, sixstudents got off the El at 55thstreet. Bob Nesselroth, afourth-year student in the col¬lege and another studentwere hit by one of severalmen milling around the area.The students then took a taxiback to Hyde Park and calledUniversity Security who thencalled the Chicago Police.The students asked the Chi¬cago Police to take them backto the El stop to locate andidentify the assailant. The po¬lice officer of the 21st precinctrefused, saying he could notcross the Cottage Grove be¬cause that was the 2nd pre¬cinct. The students thenasked to be driven to fcottageGrove to meet police officersfrom that precinct and weretold that their injuries werenot serious enough to warrantAstrophysics prof defendsgovernment funded researchBy Peter KutscheraPeter Meyer, astrophysi¬cist and ex-director of theEnrico Fermi Institute at theUniversity of Chicago, takesa strong stand for govern¬ment support of science at un¬iversities — except under cir¬cumstances of directed orclassifed research. Meyer, 65,came to the U of C to conducthis research in astrophysicswhich led to the Spacelab IIexperiment that will be partof the space shuttle “Chal¬lenger” flight to be launchedon July 12, 1985.Being a staff member at theEnrico Fermi Institute since1953, he asserts that “it hasbeen a rule that within thisuniversity, we do not acceptany contracts, grants or otherfinancial support that is ear¬marked toward any classifiedresearch.”During his 32 years at the Uof C, Meyer has seen manyprojects that were financed directly and entirely by somebranch of the military, and hegives an example where suchfunding has been used onlyfor pure research with “re¬sults that were all published.The Office of Naval Researchfinanced the design, construc¬tion, and operation of the Chi¬cago synchro-cyclotron in the1950’s, which, at that time,was the largest particle ac¬celerator in the world. Nomilitary application was everconsidered or resulted fromresearch done with this accel¬erator...If a non-military or¬ganization had financed thesynchro-cyclotron, then itwould have been used for theexact same type of basic re¬search.”According to Meyer, theDepartment of Defense(DOD) had good reason to fi¬nance such pure scientificprojects at a university, “Myperception for the action ofthe DOD to fund pure re-B-School saves earthin follies this weekendBy Jennifer MechemAccording to Harold Robin,le Business School may gets one-uppance on the Lawchool with their production,he Liquidity Trap, this Fri-ay and Saturday May 17 andi at 8 p.m. in Mandel Hall.Robin, who is one of the mu-cars producers said in glee-ll revenge that “it will beluch better than the ‘Lawchool Follies.” In the plot,>ur B-school students savele earth from an evil profes->r after being tipped off by alessenger from “George” ineaven.

Nearly 75people are involved in theproduction, and a team offour writers has been workingon the script since October.True to their creed, the stu¬dents financed the show byselling stock shares for $10each, entitling the bearer to 3free tickets and a dividend ifthere’s any profit.“The show makes fun of al¬most everything.

Thealleged assailant also took awatch and $10. Two people,who according to Bob Masonof the South East ChicagoCommission, are likely to re¬side in Hyde Park witnessedthe incident but have not yetcome forward.The alleged assailant in thefirst incident is a black male6’4”, 180-190 lbs. unkemptclean shaven and wearing adark jacket with yellow stripson the shoulder. The secondalleged assailant closely fit that description except thathe was described as havingshort hair.While the police can t besure that the assailant is thesame in both cases. Nes¬selroth said the people mill¬ing around the El stop in thefirst incident were not leavingquickly. He said of the assail¬ant, “He was just hasslingpeople which in a way is evenworse...the people didn't haveto run.” because there wereno police in the areaNesselroth added that hewas concerned because somany students use the El andrisk the same hassling whenthey exit at the 55th streetstop. He noted that the crowdmilling at the El Stop exit hadbeen drinking, and that thereis a liquor store nearby whichencourages people to stayaround.SG speaks out ondivestment issuePeter Meyersearch is simply that one re¬cognized that a strong scien¬tific stature of the country isessential for its economicwell-being as well as for fos¬tering a strong educationaleffort, which of course gohand in hand. That means thetraining and education ofthose young people who willbe among the best in theworld.”The DOD is naturally con¬cerned with having a strongcountry, and the strength of acountry in today's world isvery closely related to its sci¬entific advances, especiallyin the field of physics. Ac¬cording to Meyer, the DODrecognized that practicallyall major research projectsneed government assistance,and therefore they were will¬ing to fund some of those proj¬ects. “The philosophy behindfunding by the DOD was thatit was important for thiscountry to stay on top scien¬tifically. And you stay on topscientifically only if you dofirst class research, researchwhich is at the cutting edge,which is at the forefront. Ifyou do this research, it’s ex¬pensive, and you can not fi¬nance it except through gov¬ernment help, and that hascontinued on page 3 By Terry TrojanekThe SG assembly joined thegrowing numbers calling forUniversity divestment ofSouth African investments.The resolution was sponsoredby Treasurer-elect BillMcDade, and was passedwith no dissenting votes.The text of the resolutionruns as follows:I. In accordance with itscondemnation of the South Af¬rican system of Apartheid onApril li and in solidarity withthe efforts of the Ad Hoc Com¬mittee for a Free South Afri¬ca and the students of otherUniversities, the StudentGovernment Assembly of theUniversity of Chicago re¬quests that the President andTrustees divest the Universi¬ty’s holdings in corporationswhich do business in the Re¬public of South Africa.II. The Assembly invitesthe President and Trustees ofthe University to justify theUniversity’s investment incompanies which do businessin the Republic of South Afri¬ca.III. The Assembly autho¬rizes the Student GovernmentPresident to present its re¬quests to the University Pres¬ident and Trustees and report responses to the assembly.Support for the resolutionwas strong with discussioncentering mainly on the word¬ing of the resolution. The as¬sembly also endorsed a peti¬tion being circulated amongthe students calling for di¬vestment.Other business of the May7th meeting included the elec¬tion of the SFA Court chiefjustice. Mike Fitzgerald, theonly justice presenting him¬self for the position, wasunanimously elected.Joan Spoerl, outgoingChairman of the CommunityRelations Commitee reportedon the commitee’s Adult Lit¬eracy Project which shetermed an enormous success.In its first year of existence,the project trained 30 tutors.Workshops to train 100-200people are planned. Recruit¬ment for the program is ongo¬ing. Starley Shade is takingover the project with the de¬parture of Spoerl.In other business, the Fi¬nance Committee's recom¬mended budget passed une¬ventfully.

The U of C refused to prevent freeaccess to any of its departments or in¬stitutes located on its campus, but itagreed to the compromise of setting upa separate laboratory, called the Chi¬cago Midway Laboratory (CML),south of 61st Street. At that location,classified research was conducted, andU of C staff and faculty individuallyhad the option to participate in CML’sscientific projects on a voluntary basis.CML was discontinued in 1959.When the research support at the Uof C suffered in the 1960’s through theamendment of Senator Mansfield con¬cerning more restrictive funding byagencies of the DOD, the U of C re¬mained steadfast to its policy againstclassified or directed research,“Through the Mansfield Amendment,the Department of Defense was verymuch restricted to finance researchwhich was not oriented toward theirown mission. And since the Universityof Chicago work is not oriented towardtheir missions, much of the DOD fund¬ing disappeared. Our High EnergyPhysics program, for example, istoday financed by the National ScienceFoundation rather than by a Depart¬ment of Defense office.”Meyer sees no reason to fear that theUniversity’s attitude should changenow. He declares that “knowing theset-up at the University of Chicago,there is not a ghost of a chance that theMathematics Institute would do anyclassified or directed research.” ButMeyer does not believe that thereshould be any restrictions on maintain¬ing the stature of scientific knowledgeat the highest possible level, “If yousay we should curtail non-classifiedbasic research, then you are barking up a tree where I can’t bark with you.That means make ourselves dumb sothat we can’t do any harm, and that isan untenable position.”Meyer asserts that the “drive ofscience” can never be stopped, neitherby lack of funding nor by undesirableapplications. “Science exists becausepeople are curious, because they arescientists devoted to find out.” Meyerdoesn’t believe that this drive eithercould be stopped or should be slowedby a symbolic action like summarilyrefusing DOD support. “What do yougain by a symbolic gesture of refusingon principle to work with a DODagency?” Meyer considers such a de¬velopment to go in the wrong directionif one wishes to alleviate the currentmilitary build-up, “On the contrary,let’s help in our small way to humanizeTuesday night, more than 111 Uni¬versity of Chicago students, Universityand Medical Center employees andcommunity members were honored bythe Blood Bank at a recognition dinnerfor those donors who had achieved gal¬lon or multi-gallon donor status. This isan annual event which the Blood Banksponsors because, as Gail Borchers,donor recruiter for the Bank says, “It’sa way of telling them how much we ap¬preciate their help.”The dinner gives the Blood Bank achance to thank personally its donorsand to recognize individuals as well asthe blood drive chairpersons who re¬cruited pledges within their own orga¬nizations. During the past year, over 57student, university, hospital and com¬munity groups have donated more than1550 units of whole blood, platelets andplasma. The dinner will also honor spe¬cial cases. One gentleman whose wifehas been hospitalized for the pastthree-and-a-half years, has found thata component of his plasma benefits hiswife greatly. So, for the past three-and-a-half years, he has been going in to the the Department of Defense. Let thembe participants and be involved inthings which do not necessarily have todo with Star Wars or nuclear weap¬ons.”From his daily experience, Meyeracknowledges that the majority of theAmerican scientific community isagainst the nuclear arms build-up, andsuch eminent scientists as Hans Betheof Cornell, Freeman Dyson of Prince¬ton, and Wolgang Panofsky of Stanfordare very actively involved in currentarms control issues. Meyer believesthat scientists should get even more in¬volved in these issues because theyshare a responsibility for the applica¬tion of their scientific findings. But tohamper scientific research by not ac¬cepting essential funding is not desir¬able for Meyer because, “...the devel-Blood Bank monthly to donate. Sincehis donations began, his wife’s condi¬tion has greatly improved.U of C students and groups providejust over half of the Blood Bank’s totaldonations, making recruitment amongstudent groups, such as the residencehalls and fraternities, an importantstep in helping the Bank maintain aconstant supply of available blood.Sometimes it can take as long as 72hours for fresh blood to be processedand matched to the patient needing it.This emphasizes-the need to have al¬ready processed blood available. “Thehospital serves the South Side as atrauma center,” says Ms. Borchers,which means that crises are not fewand far between. The Blood Bank pro¬vides about 125 units of blood to morethan 70 patients per day, and currentlythis amount is expected to increase,due to the installation of liver trans¬plant surgery, headed by ChristophBroelsch, M.D., professor of surgeryand chief of the Liver Surgery Service.With this added service, the bloodneeded would increase drastically: one opment of the intellectual level, statuteof a nation scientifically, is a positivegoal.”According to Meyer, scientific pro¬gress should not be restrained, “bysaying that no university should acceptany funds that are tainted by being dis¬bursed by a DOD agency...this kind ofsymbolic action is not what movesthings forward. What is importantthough is that the University, in ac¬cepting such support, insists, withoutcompromise, to uphold the principlesof complete freedom and openness ofits research, initiated by its faculty. Asindividuals, scientists must make theirvoice heard and object to abuses of sci¬entific developments, but equally tothe dangers of misguided political andphilosphical ideas for which science isoften blamed but not responsible.”single surgery session for a liver trans¬plant patient can require as much as210 units of blood.Rising to meet the needs such de¬mands will create, the Blood Bank iscurrently having two blood drives hereon campus: one at Burton-Judson. andthe other at Psi Upsilon, both of whichare a week long. Starting next Wednes¬day, May 22, however, the Blood Bankwill be starting something new: “on¬site” donations. Rather than havingthe volunteers come to the Blood Bankoffice in Mitchell Hospital, the BloodBank will, in a sense, come to them.They will be setting up in the Ida Noyeslibrary from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. onportable lounge chairs to kick off the B-School’s week-long drive. Appoint¬ments can be scheduled by calling theBlood Bank at 962-6827. but walk-insare encouraged. Giving usually takesabout 35 minutes, and as Ms. Borchersputs it: “Blood is a vital, life-savingfluid that cannot be manufactured...Ifthey (donors) did not come forth andvolunteer, we would not have theblood...The benefits of the gift you givefar outweight the time spent giving.”Blood Bank honors multi-gallon donorsTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOJOHN M.

Editorial protest criticized:noble gestures are too easyTo the Editor of the Maroon:I write in order to clarify the Univer¬sity’s policy with respect to invest¬ments in corporations that do businessin South Africa.Let me say at the outset that the sys¬tem of apartheid practiced in SouthAfrica is totally reprehensible. It mustbe condemned, and it must be ended.It is the policy of the University’sBoard of Trustees to invest, in the caseof corporations that may do business inSouth Africa, only in companies thatact in accordance with the Sullivanprinciples. The Board believes thatacting as a responsible shareholdergoes hand in hand with its obligationsto the University’s general well-being.The questions posed by investmentsin corporations that do business inSouth Africa speak to no disagreementabout the goal of seeing apartheid eli¬minated — for on that there is unanimi¬ty. Instead, they speak to difficult judg¬ments, on which deeply committed andconcerned people may and do differ, asto the means for its accomplishment.Those who argue for total divestituremaintain that any such investmentsare wrong because no company shouldoperate at all in South Africa. Thisview’ holds that such involvement is initself a support to the system of aparth¬eid and an implication in its evils, andthat divestiture is a means to the end ofdoing away with apartheid and to se¬parating the investing institution fromany association with it.Another point of view, which the Uni¬versity’s Trustees have adopted, isthat the role to be played by respons¬ible corporations doing business inSouth Africa is one of pursuing, in theface of apartheid, policies in the work¬place diametrically opposed to the sys¬tem by introducing fair employmentpractices and equal rights for theirworkers. In this way, it is hoped, someimprovement of conditions may be ac¬complished, with wider potential ef¬fects for introducing significant socialBoycott SA productsTo the editor,Divestiture would not influence thecompanies cited in the Maroon. Only aprofit loss would be effective, whichcould only occur from a boycott. Wehope that the Ad Hoc Committee is nothypocritical enough to drink Coca-Cola, use Crest toothpaste, drive aChevy, have GE home appliances,have an IBM pc, do their banking at 1stChicago, or even get gas at a Mobil sta¬tion.Jeffrey PontiffRamon SalazarKarim KamalBill OstremBob RheePaul Van CleaveDan KolbMarc Tokars change. If investing institutions, actingas shareholders, are to require the pur¬suit of such policies, they must remainshareholders and continue to exerciseinfluence within the corporations in¬volved. By divesting, the Universitywould take a purely symbolic step andlose any power for constructive action.Divestiture, from this point of view, ac¬tually means transfer of responsibilityto other shareholders who may well beless concerned.The Board’s policy is also to measurea company’s conformity to the guide¬lines represented by the Sullivan prin¬ciples, using the evaluations made bythe Investor Responsibility ResearchCenter, an independent not-for-profitinstitution that conducts regular rei-vews of performance and analyzes anystock proxy issues. The UniversityTreasurer’s Office is directed to re¬view each issue on a case by case basisto determine if the company’s policiesare responsible and in accord with theSullivan principles.Listings of the University’s holdingsare prepared quarterly. In February Ishared with the Maroon the list of theUniversity’s holdings as of December31, 1984, and I am glad similarly toshare the list of March 31, 1985 that hasjust now become available.Yours sincerely,Hanna Holborn Gray To the editor:Your recent editorial protest con¬cerning divestment was surprisinglytimid. It is morally reprehensible to dobusiness with companies which supportimmoral causes, but “doing business”includes buying their products as wellas their stocks. Having singled outtwelve corporations, you should havepublished an Open Letter like this:“Fellow students, we the under¬signed hereby pledge not to buy oruse any products or services manu¬factured by any subsidiaries of com¬panies which have direct or indirectbusiness in South Africa Do notdrink Coke, Tab, Sprite, or Diet Coke.Do not use G.E. or Motorola ap¬pliances, wash your clothes withTide, Cheer, ERA, Bold, or Dash, orwash yourselves with Ivory, Zest,Safeguard, Coast, or Camay. (A com¬plete list of hundreds more items willbe circulated.) When we purge ourhomes of these and make a huge pileon campus, the Trustees will see thatwe the students have divested, andperhaps will take their turn.”Even this pledge is too restricted if itfails to include immoral companieswhich have impact closer to home. Cer¬tainly we should seek to block Coors’The Adventures of Regman entry into the Chicago market. TheMaroon should take an active standagainst use of illicit drugs, whose pur¬chasers support murder and corruptionthroughout the Americas. Vacations inLas Vegas and Atlantic City should bediscouraged lest we enrich Mafia-runextortion rackets and pornography, in¬cluding child pornography. As inIsrael, we should boycott symphony or¬chestras which offer works by Wagner,that vicious anti-Semite. Let us con¬tinue the international boycott of Nes¬tle. The campus radio should not beallowed to play the Rolling Stones, whohad once hired the Hell’s Angels tokeep security.The combined consumer impact ofthe U of C students and faculty,families and friends, probably rivalsthat of the Trustees’ portfolio. Ipredict, however, that the Maroon willnot follow up on these suggestions. It iseasy to ask the University to make no¬ble gestures but hard to change one’severyday life so as not to acquiescewith evil. I am reminded of the bumpersticker which reads, “Honk If YouLove Jesus.” We can divest; we canhonk. The difference is, unlike yourOpen Letter, the bumper sticker doesnot imply that honking is a constructivestep towards achieving salvation.Neil Smalheiserby Skip and JoelBecause /ms Uumsef2W1 all I Ccxxb GETMS CLASSICALCHlfJESEj HCfJcES/myssMb A REAblkjO COCKEUJITH TAPCoY., -kJ *■K t TWFS PRETTYbEPPESSlAJC.

US must cut South Africa tiesTo the editor,It is almost too obvious to state, buteconomic support of South Africa (SA)is support of apartheid. Sophisticatedand foreign capital makes it possiblefor 4.5 million whites to control and ex¬ploit 20 million blacks. For example,IBM, NCR, Sperry, and Burroughscomputers are used to monitor themovements of the Black populationand to run the passbook system. US oilcompanies provide about 50 percent ofthe oil supplies to SA (who has virtual¬ly no oil reserves), led by Mobil andCaltex. The US has helped provide SAwith the technology for its SASOL oil tocoal project. Also, the US has helped toestablish SA as a nuclear power, pro¬viding reactors, fuel and training.Over 60 US banks, headed by Citi¬corp, make loans to SA.Finally, US corporations and the USgovernment sell modern militaryequipment to SA. The ostensible Carterarms embargo was lifted by the Rea¬gan administration.Arguments in favor of US invest¬ments generally claim that foreign business will help improve conditionsfor the Blacks there. It bears repeatingthat precisely is true; that economicsupport of SA equals support of aparth¬eid. Even for the tiny number of Blackswho are actually employed by USfirms, working conditions do not, andby law cannot, differ significantly fromthe practices of SA firms. We see thateven if foreign companies followed theSullivan Principles (a set of guidelineswhich recommend reforms like inte¬grating restrooms) their business stillhelps maintain the South AfricanState.In SA it is a crime punishable bydeath to call for foreign corporate with¬drawal. Clearly divestment move¬ments are a serious threat to the SAgovernment.It is time, long pas the time, for theUS to cut all ties with the SA govern¬ment. One step in this direction is di¬vestment by the University of Chica¬go.Sincerely,I)r Jennie Trasrhen1The University of ChicagoThe School of Social ServiceAdministrationpresentsThe Ninth Social Service Review LectureCycles of Deprivationandthe Underclass DebatebyWILLIAM JULIUS WILSONLucy Flower Distinguished Service ProfessorDepartment of Sociology and The CollegeChairman, Department of SociologyTuesday, May 21,19854:00 P.M.School of Social Service Administration969 E.

May 17. 1985 ——Rajmane accused of naiveteTo the editor:In the May 7, 1985 issue of theMaroon, Ravi Rajmane exhortedAmericans to uphold internationalstandards of justice in our handling ofthe South African question, stating that“oppression and freedom have thesame meaning to an African as to anAmerican.” But if we are to take Mr.Raj mane’s moral absolutism seriouslyand follow it through to its logical con¬sequences, I am afraid that the conclu¬sion we must reach would be anathemato most anti-apartheid activists. In ad¬dition to our obvious national securityinterest in promoting peaceful ratherthan revolutionary change in SouthAfrica, that course of action is desir¬able for purely moral reasons. It istherefore easy to separate those whoare truly concerned for the welfare ofthe South Africans from those who aremerely trying to export their own radi¬cal egalitarian ideologies.Mr. Rajmane writes, with either hy¬perbole or superhuman naivete, that“nowhere in the world is inequality andoppression so profoundly institutional¬ized on such a massive scale, as it is inSouth Africa.” Perhaps Mr. Raj-mane’s perspective is severely cloudedby his abhorrence of apartheid, be¬cause among the dozens of countries inthe world that contradict his formula¬tion is Zimbabwe, South Africa’s geo¬graphical neighbor. Zimbabwe has re¬cently undergone a transformationfrom a white-ruled country with racist,but basically democratic institutions toa revolutionary one-party state underthe Marxist dictator Robert Mugabe.This transformation was engineeredby British Foreign Minister Lord Car¬rington with the approval of the Carteradministration and morally concernedliberals everywhere. But instead of be¬coming a Western-style democracy,dedicated to the principle of oneman/one vote, Zimbabwe has followedthe route of most revolutionary blackAfrican nations and has become a col- lectivistic dictatorship with no regardfor fundamental human rights. And theahcient tribal hatreds, which were sup¬pressed during the period of white rule,have once again come to the surface asa means for Mr. Mugabe to retain hispolitical hold on Zimbabwe.Can one really consider apartheid tobe as morally reprehensible as the uni¬versal human degradation in Zim¬babwe, the tribal genocide of Idi Amin,or the uses of starvation as a politicaltool in Ethiopia? While apartheid can¬not be excused by the fact that thereare worse forms of injustice in othercountries, I do believe that encourag¬ing a black, Marxist-oriented revolu¬tion in South Africa will result in aform of government not unlike those ofZimbabwe, Uganda, Ethiopia, etc. Ifthe opponents of apartheid really wantblack rule at any price, then let themsay so, instead of cynically adoptingthe more acceptable pleas of humanrights and morality.So if a revolutionary overthrow of theSouth African governmental system,as advocated by most anti-apartheidand divestiture activists will almostcertainly result in even greater in¬equality and oppression for evenblacks in South Africa, what hope isthere for positive change in South Afri¬can society? I believe that the safestand most effective way of encouragingsuch change is to support the presentgovernment of South Africa, while ex¬ercising diplomatic pressure for inter¬nal reform. Eventually the whiterulers of South Africa will have to ex¬tend democratic rights in order tostave off a black revolution. But thiscan be done by broadening rather thandestroying the already existing demo¬cratic institutions. This seems to methe best chance of preserving a mea¬sure of democracy in South Africa,consistent with Mr. Rajmane’s ideas ofmorality and justice. One need not beanti-South Africa in order to be anti¬apartheid.Jeffrey Trapp from TheUniversity of ChicagoOffice ofContinuing Education5835 South Kimbark AvenueChicago, Illinois 60637962-1722 NNOUNCING!INSTANTGRATIFICATION(or the closest thing to it at The University of Chicago)Tired at the very thought of that stack of incompletesgathering dust on the corner of your desk?Wondering if it's possible to make progress on theproposal while lying on the beach?

Every Good BoyDeserves Favour: A Play for Actorsand Orchestra (EGBDFj on Friday,May 31, and Saturday, June 1 at Man-del Hall. There will also be a specialperformance of EGBDF for just U of Cstudents on Thursday, May 30.The play, which is by Tom Stoppardand Andre Previn, is about two Sovietmental hospital patients. One patient is“a political dissident whose opinionsare considered symptoms of his mad¬ness, (and) the other (is) a genuine lu¬natic, a triangle player who believesthat he owns an orchestra that followshim everywhere.” according to CristaCabe. the Court Theatre's director ofaudience development.The unique aspect of EGBDF is thatit requires a 110-piece orchestra to beon stage with the six actors. Because ofboth the logistic problems of having anorchestra of that size on stage and thecost of producing the play, Cabe saidthe play has “rarely been done.”The audience development directoradmitted that Ron Greene, the play’sset designer, found the project verychallenging. But she said, “the setmodel has been completed.”‘The University of Chicago,” statedArtistic Director Nicholas Rudall, “isan ideal place in which to produce thispiece. Not only do we have a residentprofessional theatre but an excellentsymphony orchestra as well. This is anexciting project, one we’ve wanted todo for a long time.”There will only be two regular per¬formances of the play. The Friday.May 31st performance will be a benefitlund raiser for the Court Theatre withtickets costing between S20 and S150.According to Cabe. “an evening of fes¬tivities is planned (for the benefit per¬formance) with cocktails and dinnerbefore the play and a reception after¬wards.” The benefit performance willbegin at 8:30 p.m. The Saturday. June 1st performancewill start at 8:00 p.m., and tickets are$12 - $15.On Thursday, May 30. U of C stu¬dents can attend the play’s dress re¬hearsal for $5.00. Cabe said that Thurs¬day’s dress rehearsal is “essentiallythe same as a preview.”Explaining why the dress rehearsalwill be opened for students, the audi¬ence development director asserted.“The Saturday performance is fillingquickly, and the Friday performance isquite expensive because it is a benefit;we wanted “U. of C. students to be ableto afford to see the show.”All the proceeds from this perfor¬mance will go to the Orchestra for its1985 European tour.Tickets for the May ?0th and June 1stperformances are available now at theCourt Theatre box office. “Inquiriesand reservations for the May 31st ben¬efit performance are being handled byJohanna Humbert.

The Maroons finished theseason with a 16-13 record. CoachKevin McCarthy stated, “It was themost successful season in the modernhistory of University of Chicagobaseball.”The 1985 Maroons distinguishedthemselves in two ways from teams ofpast seasons. First they won moregames. In past years, the most wins bythe baseball team was 12. Second, theywon more games in the IIT Tourna¬ment than in the past.This year’s IIT tournament consistedof two doubleheaders against IIT andthe Milwaukee school of Engineering.The Maroons matched IIT’s 3-1 recordfor their share of first place.Chicago won the first game of theFriday doubleheader with a 5-3 deci¬sion over MSE. As they have doneseveral times this year, the Maroonscame from behind to win. Going intothe bottom of the sixth inning, theytrailed 3-1, despite the fact thatChicago pitcher Ed Ruder had given uponly one hit, a home run. But theMaroons came back with four runs intheir half of the inning. Seniors JohnGernon and Tom Weber led off the inn¬ing with back-to-back doubles. DougMcNelis then singled scoring Weber,and Mike Romberg followed withanother double. The final tally of the in¬ning scored on Mike Medina’s single.In the second game of the doubleheader, against IIT, the Maroons suf¬fered their only defeat of the tourna¬ment. IIT won 6-4 despite a strong hit¬ting performance by Bob Dickey, 2-for-3 with a home run. John Shimkus tookthe loss for the Maroons.In the first game of the Saturdaydoubleheader, the Maroons beat MSEby a score of 8-6. Corsan Maley pickedup the win for Chicago and MikeMedina went 2-for-4, with a homer and 4 rbi’s. Romberg also had a good daygame as he hit 2-for-3 with 3 rbi’s.Maroon Notes: Senior Bob Dickey andsophomore Tom Novak were named tothe All-Conference team on Monday.Dickey led the team in hitting with a.362 batting average and 14 rbi’s.Novak was second in hitting at .359, andhad 12 rbi’s. Novak improved over lastyear’s .290 batting average, which alsoearned him a place on the All-Conference team....The Maroons willlose 6 of 19 players to graduation thisyear. The Seniors include Captain JohnGernon, Bob Dickey, Andy Saliman,Dennis Werner, Tom Weber and JohnShimkus.Lacrosse beats NUBy Matt SchaeferThe University of Chicago LacrosseClub continues to surprise many peo¬ple. The Maroons beat NorthwesternUniversity for the first time ever 20-15on rain-soaked Stagg Field. Ted Voor-hees and Nick Shermata both had fivegoals for the home team while Chicagoplayer/coach John Herskovitz added ahat-trick of his own.There were two keys to the game.First, Northwestern received a three-minute unsportsman-like penalty inthe second quarter. During this spanChicago outscored NU 4-0. Second,with the score tied 14-14 heading intothe final quarter, Chicago was able toouthustle and outrun the Wildcats by ascore of 6-1.Chicago continued to play well intheir next game, a 10-6 loss to LincolnPark, the best Lacrosse team in thearea. John “Chief” Mariano was excel¬lent for Chicago on defense while Hers¬kovitz (three goals, one assist) andVoorhees (three goals) led the attack.Chicago, with a 4-4 record, will looktoward its first winning season in itsfinal home game May 26 against theChicago Suburban Roughriders, andCoach Herskovitz is very optimistic.ApartmentThe Sack Realty Company, Inc.

IfUbie can sell his new drug program to the people inbaseball and it is just a matter of time before he isselling hot dogs and apple pies in the Kremlin. Yeh,I’m also tired of the drug issue but Ubie’s grand¬stand play can’t be ignored.Ubie has decided to make drug testing mandatoryfor all members of Major League Baseball. This in¬cludes 3,000 minor league players, management, se¬cretaries, trainers and maybe washroom atten¬dants. The list does not include major league playersbecause they are covered under separate agree¬ment. The new drug program is designed to influ¬ence the players’ drug policy in the upcoming con¬tract talks as well as protect baseball from the illeffects of massive drug trafficking indictments thatwill implicate some members of baseball.It has been noted that Ubie has political ambitionsand this new drug policy is merely another attemptto look like the fans’ friend. First Mickey and Willie,then the fan DH and now this. But this try may be sofeeble it could end up hurting Ubie.First of all the players couldn’t stop laughing whenthey heard about this ridiculous scheme. Ubie maybe able to bully around the umpires and the ownersbut he can’t touch the players. This is the union thathad members making over one million dollars sit out60 games in an effort to improve conditions. Phillies’pitcher Kent Tekulve best expressed the players atti¬tude when he mentioned it was a stupid to ask peopleplaying a game to be tested for drugs when medicalprofession undergoes no such humiliation.Secondly, can you imagine how hard it would be tofind someone who would have the guts to ask GeorgeSteinbrenner to go fill a cup.Ubie’s main concern is still legitimate. Baseballand drugs are so closely related he fears that whathappened in the Tulane game-fixing scandal couldeasily happen in baseball. However treating theplayers on like children won’t solve the problem.When he puts such a strong program on the table theplayers may withdraw instead of coming closer tohis idea of a drug program. The union has to protectits members and whenever someone comes thisclose to dictating union policy he might get burned.Also these indictments coming down won’t be thelast ones so any grandstand play like this won’tshield the public from the truth. So far only Pitts¬burgh dealers are being nabbed. There are still 25cities to go... The Third StringI’m going to use this space to air a personal beef Ihave with the Chicago White Sox.If you have noticed anything different about thisyear’s from last year’s column, it is that this year Ihave not written anything about the Sox. The reasonis that this paper has been denied press credentialsto games at Comiskey Park.Apparently the prospect of attracting over 10,000potential customers who read this paper does not ap¬peal to the Sox. Imagine, 10,000 students living 20blocks south of you looking rather desperately forthings to do and you, offering a relatively inexpen¬sive form of entertainment.I pondered this problem and have come to a con¬clusion. The Sox must be sold out for all their re¬maining games. I’m sorry, but all you people whowere planning to see the Sox are going to have to stayhome and huddle around the radio and just dreamabout how much fun you would be having if you werethe holder of one of those scarce Sox tickets.The low attendance figures you see published aremerely a coverup a way to cover-up some taxableincome. Hey Eddie and Jerry, sorry to spoil yourscam.★★★★★Slime does not payby Dennis A ChanskyIt seems that we are fighting the American Revo¬lution over again right now as you read. The Sport ofKings and the Great Pastime of the Republic arelocked in a continuous struggle to see which one willget to call itself the number one spectator sport herein the colonies.In 1983 baseball was finally able to overtake horseracing for the overall crown. But according to re¬cently published figures, the horses regained thelead around the clubhouse turn in 1984.Baseball and horse racing, two sports seeminglysteeped in tradition like so much iced tea. But yetthey command so much attention from so many peo¬ple for such different reasons. Although baseball isin fact a tremendous excuse for generating statis¬tics, it also inspires people to think about baseball inan intimate way, unlike the way they think of othersports. And although horse racing pretends to agreat tradition, it’s main attraction is as the perma¬nent home of the bottom line. sports 17Chicago Maroon—Friday, May 17, 1985As for baseball, you know how it is. Just listen toyourself the next time you pass by Wrigley Field orComiskey Park on an off day for the team whichplays there. Ah, you’ll say to yourself, the gr iss isresting comfortably today, that’s very nice. Dam¬mit, you make it sound as though the grass is recov¬ering from major heart surgery and demands yourevery waking thought. But in baseball it is very easyto blur the difference between that grass and a con¬valescing member of your own immediate family.Surely I’m exaggerating, but next to family, base¬ball is the most precious thing in the life of a baseballfan.Now the next time you pass by Soldier Field, see ifyou have anything to say to yourself. If you do it willprobably be about the condition of the zamboni ma¬chine, and I have never confused a zamboni machinefor any member of my family, sick or well.Now horse racing hides behind mint julips and Ste¬phen Foster songs, but if you think that its traditionwhich puts the scurves through the turnstiles, thinkagain. Ask an old man at Sportsmans whether heknows the words to the Sidewalks of New York, andthen clear out of the way as he passes wind in yourgeneral direction.This is not to say that horse players are emotion-'less and without feeling. I’m sure they all cried whenRuffian and Swale died, but you would too if you justlost yur meal ticket.In racing, tradition is worth only the check it iswritten on, which is why Spend a Buck is on his wayto Jersey instead of Pimlico (or else the poor horseactually heard the words to Maryland, My Mary¬land). and when some marketing genius gets theidea to raise the price of admission on derbydayfrom 10 to 20 dollars and reap an incredible windfall,the result is the smallest derbyday crowd in a millionyears.Which reminds me, although horse racing sprangback in front of baseball last year, the overallnumber of people turning out at the track declined byone million, from 76 million in ’83 to 75 million in ’84.But no one is panicking, because the betting traffic isgreater than ever, and that’s the bottom line. Off¬track betting and inter-track betting make it so thata Cole Porter affair, an afternoon on the flats and anevening in the harness, becomes unnecessary, be¬cause you can take a walk in the morning and put inall your bets for the day. and that jives well with thebottom line. So blow-off the sunshine, the breezes,the identifiable scents and stay home and watch thelottery drawing, or tend to the ill in your house¬hold.QegentsparkCompare our Luxurious LakefrontRental Apartments with any otherbuilding in Hyde ParkCOMPARE OUR AMENITIES:•Health Spa with fitness center, whirlpool,sauna and exercise programs•European-style supermarket with competitivepricing on nationally advertised brands,featured on Channel 5 as reporter BarryBernson’s "favorite gourmet market”•Computer terminal access to University ofChicago’s mainframe•Nationally acclaimed 1 acre garden•Cable TV•Shuttle servide to the UniversityAND OUR RENTS.

Conductor MarkFerneyhough in preparation and talks aboutinternationally renowned composer and his music FERNEYHOUGH:Prentiss: Ferneyhough is what could be describedas a mainstream avant-garde composer in that hedoesn’t write a circle and drop dirt on a page — heuses relatively conventionally notation, he uses re-Ferneyhough special is that he uses instrumways that other composers never even tusing them...Any Ferneyhough piecesounds totally original. You hear sounds thatyou’ve never heard before come from a violin — intotally unique ways.Q: Does that mean that he works in abstract con¬ceptions of music?Prentiss: When you play a piece of his music, it im¬mediately makes musical sense. What attracts meas a performer is the incredible passion and inten¬sity, and direct musical expression that comes tothe fore right away; it is not hidden beneath ab¬stract formalism. Whatever abstract formalism isthere, the essential concept of sound, the conceptof hearing what a violin is supposed to sound like,is immediately there.0: Could you aescriplayed on Sunday?Prentiss: Prometheus (1967) is a piecdsextet, it is early Ferneyhough, neverthe)es#TTermploys many of the rhythmic and gestural elemcan be found later in his music.

He has allthese expressive devices that are not employed asa manneristic gesture, but are employed for ex¬pressive, musical ends as a means of communicat¬ing to the audience, not as a means of demonstrat¬ing that he can write complex music. Ferneyhoughwrites complex music that is a challenge to the per¬former that always has strong musical intent,rather than complicated music which is simply su¬perficial and impresses the audience but leaves nolasting impression of anything being said.Q: What then would you say is characteristic of Fer¬neyhough’s work?Prentiss: Within the sometimes arbitrary form thathe sets for himself, he absolutely explodes withcreation and some of the most important elementsof richness in Ferneyhough’s music is his constantuse of sound as it relates to tension.,.(also) the judi¬cious and controlled use of silence in music is a veryimportant concept because you find it all the timein Ferneyhough. The music is controlled not just bythe accretions of energy, the lasers, the units of en¬ergy, that explode out of the texture and out ofthe fabric of music, but by the silence because thesilence controls and manipulates the form and thegesture.

Brian Ferneyhough's music to me ex¬presses the fact that he has a very clear inner con¬ception of sound, that he has the technical under¬standing and command to translate that intonotation and that he never asks the performer todo something that is not possible in his estimate.He is a constant joy for me because what he has tosay is first and foremost musical...May 17, 1985 • 17th Year%%%%%%' V At*0 0 0 0X X&iX X0 0\J.X X X D X % %0 0 0 0 0 0 FREEDOMTHROUGHFORMRON YOUNGMIDDLE EAST REPRESENTATIVE FOR THEAMERICAN FRIENDS SERVICE COMMITTEEWILL SPEAK ONTHE UNITED STATES and the SOVIET UNIONin the MIDDLE EAST:POLARIZATION or PARTNERSHIP?RON YOUNG has spent three years in the Middle East.Based in Amman, Jordan since April 1982, he. hastraveled frequently to Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Israel, theWest Bank and Gaza.

She doesn’t tradeoff different masks to make someBowie-type statement on show busi¬ness or social mores because, unlikeBowie or any other good poseur, shenever characterizes or transformsthe masks she appropriates. Fur¬thermore, she doesn’t press thebounds of any sort of social margin-ality like Bowie did (or Boy Georgeor Elvis Presley); all she does is usethose symbols and images that arealready embedded in our male dom¬inated culture to ply tt>e«r oppres¬sive hegemonic power for her per¬sonal, .Success, ano that’s it.

But whereas the 3 O’Clock, aband that seems to strive for the in¬sipid, are interested in bubble-gummelodies and surreal lyrics for thesake of the form, the Meat Puppets’seeming oblivion to anything goingon outside their own heads comesfrom a genuine interest in tran¬scendence, not because their is somehigher truth in it, but because theyknow of no other way to leave theirwastrel’s existence.

FAXby Rick WojclkOver the course of the past decade, WaxTrax! (spelled with an exclamation point)has firmly established itself in the worldof specialty record shops. Recently, how¬ever, the firm has begun to expand intothe American record industry, founding itsown record, which should be added to thesmall list of independent companies cur¬rently trying to compete with the estab¬lished giants. Their case is one which de¬serves attention, stemming from a longhistory which is better off examined fromthe beginning.Wax Trax! was founded by Jim Nashand Danny Fletcher ih 1974 as a small col¬lectors’ store in Denver. Although theystocked primarily sixties music, Nashsays, they tried to emphasize hard to findimports and rarities. The store was pro¬gressing successfully when, in the mid¬seventies, the punk scene began to takeshape in England. In such bands as the SexPistols, the Clash, and the Damned, Nashclaims to have seen a new force thatheralded a returning excitement in music.To deal with this new force, Nash began toconvert Wax Trax! into a punk mew wavestore. In a few years, Wax Trax! hadamassed a large following in Denver, get¬ting involved in various promotions andradio projects. Nash, however, fett isolat¬ed in Colorado. So, in 1978, he packed upthe entire operation and moved it to itspresent location on Lincoln Avenue. In Chi¬cago. Wax Trax! began branching outeven more than it did in Denver.The formation of the Wax Trax! record•label seemed an appropriate extension ofNash’s involvement with the Chicago musicscene. From his experience in sellingalbums. Nash felt he had some conceptionof how records should look and sound. Thefirst single to be released on the WaxTrax! label was Divines “Born to beCheap.’* The single’s release went virtual¬ly unnoticed by the music industry, forthere was hardly an established marketfor a three hundred pound female imper¬sonator.A few months later, Nash was ap¬proached by Al Jourgensen. the frontmanof a then little known Chicago band namedMinistry. Wax Trax! released Ministry'sfirst single, “Cold Life,’’ which was fairlysuccessful. Nash expressed desire to re¬lease another Ministry single, but by thattime, the band had moved on to a majorlabel.The Wax Trax! label then remained dor¬mant for about two years while Nash con¬centrated on improving the store. Afterawhile, however, he renewed his interestin producing records and began contract¬ing various groups. Nash decided tooperate differently the second timearound. Instead of recording records, hemerely licensed the American rights to im¬ports. For example, the first recowl in thisseries. Front 242 s Endless Riddance, isavailable either as a Belgian import or asa D.S. release on the Wax Trax! label. TheFront 242 project was unsuccessful, andNash decided to continue operating in thisAt about the same time, Ai Jourgensen,who had terminated his other contract, re¬turned to Wax Trax! and expressed inter¬est in releasing another Ministry single.Nash took him in as a partner in the label,and they released the latest Ministry sin¬gle, “All Day.” “All Day” has proved tobe rather successful, and it has enabledNash to work on a number of other proj¬ects, notably: Blackout’s LostSoulsClub,Minimal Compact's Next One is Real, andA Popular History of Signs' Ladder Jack.With the release of these projects, how¬ever, Nash has encountered an Americanmusic scene largely unreceptive to newmusic. Through his business, he has re¬ceived a warped view of the industry, thatis, if something sells well in Wax Trax!, itdoesn’t necessarily mean that it will sellelsewhere. So, while the Wax Trax! re¬leases are very professional and prai¬seworthy, they do not appeal to the largemajority of American record buyers. Nashclaims that he is dealing with a very limit¬ed audience. Progressive rock has very lit¬tle support in the U S. and Nash feels thathe may be forced to sacrifice his princi¬ples. He is only interested in producing re¬cords of music he enjoys, but he is findingthat his taste runs contrary to the Ameri¬can mainstream.Another reason for Nash’s present situa¬tion is the lack of support he receives inChicago, both in press and radio. For ex¬ample, the b-side to Ministry’s “All Day,”“Every Day is Halloween,” has rapidlyclimbed up the charts on both coasts, re¬ceiving considerable airplay in both NewYork and Los Angeles. Chicago radio sta¬tions, however, practically ignore thesong, claiming it is “too harsh” for the* lis¬tening audience. This is ridiculous. As any¬one who has heard the song will testify,“Every Day is Halloween” is not nearly asharsh as any song by a group of men tell¬ing people to relax and not do it. Further¬more, Ministry should receive even more airplay in Chicago than in New York and]L.A. They are one of the first Chicagogroups to show any potential since that]band named after a river in Hades.Jim Nash blames his lack of local supporon Chicagoans’ inherent inferiority complex. He claims that most residents refusto believe that Chicago can produce socess. In his words, “The general attitudis: If you’re so good Wax Trax!. how comiyou're not in New York or L.A.?’ ” Nashhowever, refuses to bow to majority opinion. He says that he will not move WaTrax! because Chicagoans refuse to accep’its potential. Nash is determined to sbthe music industry that something gcan come out of Chicago....and just what is coming out of Chicgo?First in the line of Wax Trax! release;“Born to be Cheap” by Divine. Besidbeing the first record on the Wax Trax!label, “Born to be Cheap” is also Divine’spremier single. Divine is a three hundredpound chanteuse of questionable genderwho has since gone to be a disco queen inthe truest sense of the word. “Born to beCheap” has more of a rock sound than hislater works, but Divine’s beautiful vocalsjstill ring true on this early release. Alsoincluded on the single is a great cover ver¬sion of the old Shirley Ellis tune ’’TheName Game."Front 242 is a Belgian band that pnduces danceabie industrial rock alonglines of Cabaret Voltaire. Their Endle;Riddance is a good exercise in European]progressive music that deserves exposunin the U.S. Wax Trax! was also respons¬ible for Front 242’s U.S. tour last summeiin which they played dates at First Avenuin Minneapolis, Danceteria in New York,and Medusa’s here in Chicago.In a similar musical vein, A Popular Hitory of Signs, out of the U.K., produces]finely crafted techno-pop similar to Orchestrai Maneuvers in the Darnk. Their re¬lease. Ladder Jack, contains Americanversions of “Ladder Jack” and “House”which were remixed byWax Trax!. The remixesother songs on the e.pand “Stigma,” are tighterbelieve that the firsthave been better off leftless, Ladder/ack is comparablejority of music presentlyish charts.Next in the line of releases is Ministry’s“All Day.” “AH Day'' is definite proof ofMinistry’s musical growth; it is by fartheir best work to date. Interestinglyenough, the single’s b-side, ’’Every Day isHalloween,” is responsible for most ofsuccess, receiving much more airplay than“All Day.” Upon listening, it is easy to seewhy: “Every Day...” is slick, loud, anddanceabie, with a chorus that everyonecan sing along to.Blackouts’ LostSoulsClub is the WaxTrax! release of a Seattle band who haveperfected their Bauhaus imitation. The;song to watch on LostSoulsClub is “Writhing, ” a dark, danceabie number which con-]tains a mispronunciation of the song’s]titfe. Also included is “Idiots,” another up-jbeat track in the Bauhaus tradition. Theside of the e.p. is an extended dub mix entitled “Everglades” which depicts an evilworld contained in that Florida swamp.The production on ’Everglades,” done byJourgensen, is especially slick. The songhas the potential to become sonicaily muddied, but every note comes through suc¬cinctly.The latest release by Wax Trax! is NextOne is Real by Minimal Compact, a bandcontaining a number of ex-Tuxedomoonmembers. The e.p. contains an excellentremix of the title track, which soon promises to be a club hit. The rest of the musicon the e.p. has a slight Middle Eastern fla¬vor, leading the listener to wonder If the*album should have been named Next OneIsrael.A number of other projects are due foirelease, including a new Ministry single.“The Nature of Love.” Also in the works isan e.p. from a new band, the RevoltingCocks, featuring Luke Van Acker ofShriekback and an unnamed member ofFront 242. Wax Trax! will also be releas-Ving a full album by Front 242 this summer.The album includes a bonus single of livetracks from the band’s shows at Medusa’and Danceteria. Al Jourgensen claims“It’s the best thing we’ve put out so far.Except, of course, for the Ministry singtes.”The point that should be made aboutof these works is that they are very prfessional. Wax Trax! is putting out musithat is as good or better than the majoritof records presently on the market Whilit is difficult for any independent recorlabel to survive on the American marketit Is nearly impossible for one which is Icated in Chicago. Wax Trax!, however,fighting the battle and appears to be winning. Still, they can’t survive without suport. Listen to these records.

Michael CulpRecently, at an alumni function of my alma mater at thefashionable University Club downtown, I was chattingwith my ex-roommate and told him a joke I had recentlyheard: What’s the worse thing about getting AIDS? —Trying to convince your mother you’re a Haitian. Then,without warning or introduction, another gentleman whohad apparently overheard me felt the intimacy to shareanother: What’s the best thing about> AIDS? — It’sfatal.It was a telling blow. I was speechless with anger andrage. How could this stranger have shown such violencetowards me? Hadn’t he heard about Gay Awareness fort¬night, or even had the benefit of a “sensitive” WayneScott androgeny article in the Grey city— No. He hadn’t.He was from Bensenville and he didn’t even know I wasgay.This incident led me to a single realization. What Iwanted from this man was not tolerance, for he had notobstructed my pursuit of life, liberty, happiness or any¬thing dlse” What I really craved was acceptance, and suchacceptance cannot be legislated. Yet precisely this notionof acceptance 4<ed me to reflect on exactly what WayneScott, Gay Awareness fortnight and the whole gay civilrights movement were doing and how they chose to goabout it. Did I or they expect the straight community to“accept” the gay community in a singular eschatologicalexpression of the collective will? No, for acceptance isnever so grand a thing.I became convinced that we in the gay community must,with all our collective might, resist allowing society todesignate us as a collective entity. The moment we areclassified as fags or queens or queers we each lose ourpersonhood; we lose our claim to rights and priviledgesas individuals with unique gift and talents and problems.Precisely by virtue of its insistence on separation and au¬tonomy, the “gay community” plays directly into thehands of this process of depersonalization. I am gay, butI am many things more than gay, thank God. Some of myfriends' are gay; some are straight, but, thank God again,they are many other things besides. Otherwise, it wouldmake for frightfully dreary cocktail parties.In short, those who tout the integrity of the homosex¬ual as well as those who proclaim its sinfulness or unnatu¬ralness construct a two-dimensional world in which I ref¬use to participate. It is only when we shift the discussionto the practical business of living together, of seeing ourlives together, intervyined in all their complexity and sor¬row, that we begin to see a way around the contem¬porary social dilemma.Surprising to no one, the task of living together is notexclusively confined to the gay community. In fact, itseems to be a dominate theme in the recently publishedliterary works of many young American writers—amongothers, David Leavitt, Marian Thurm, Amy Hempel andPeter Cameron. These people are the “angry young men”of our generation. Their writings express the frustra¬tions, the hopes and the fears of the new lost generation,as Mr. Leavitt calls us. That is, those of us who experi¬enced adolescence in the seventies, who never quite un¬derstood the counterrevolution, who didn't grow up witha pc, yet whose mothers still monitored the amount oftelevision we watched. The characters these writers por¬tray are self-images. And, as Leavitt says, “Unlike theirolder brothers and sisters, who grew up and ran away inthe 1960’s, they uphold the idea of family with a ven-gence and upbraid their parents for giving up on it. ..These young characters are not explorers—they aresettlers, determined to find in their adulthood the stabili¬ty that eluded them in their childhood. .. The crucial jour¬ ney is not the voyage out but the voyage back. Homemay be the most dangerous place of all, but it is also theonly chance we have”.Nowhere is this sentiment more poignantly presentedthan in the title story of Mr. Levitt’s collection of shortstories Family Dancing. On the occasion of Seth’s less thanglorious graduation from a third-rate prep school, his ex¬tended family and friends gather to celebrate on theupper middle-class Long Island estate of his mother andnew step-father. The story is ripe with jelousy, bitchi¬ness, dependency and disappointment as the old familygathers together once again, maybe for the last time.Toward the story’s close these same forces which hadrent asunder the family now bind it forcefully together.In an explosively cathartic scene, they dance all in a cir¬cle, "arms around arms, heads knocking, the family stu¬mbles, barely able to keep its balance”. But it does keepits balance. It finds a new equilibrium founded on thevery derisive emotions that had once shattered it, creat¬ing a new family with an inertia of its own.There is something fundamentally inadequate andunrealistic about this idyllic vision and yet it contains ele¬ments that ring hauntingly true. There is an unsettlingparallel between these writers' nostalgia for familialstability and the type of nostalgia characteristic of JerryFalwell and the New Right. It represents not a trend toconservatism but a trend to stagnation. The God of fun¬damentalism is as bankrupt a notion now as it was in theprevious century. And the Family of these young hopefulswill prove, I fear, to be as bankrupt for them as it was fortheir parents. It’s an odd embrace, for they know howtragically their parents’ attempt at family life ended—hell, many of them have lived through twice as manymarriages as either parent, since they’ve had to contendwith the re-marriages and re-divorces of both parents.No, the ideal of family will not work no matter howmuch we want it to; no matter how much we need it to.Neither are the ideals of the counterculture any more ad¬equate to our situation. The sixties failed. Barry Gold-water is with us still and his surrogate is in the WhiteHouse. The notions of family and social consciousnesshave fallen by the wayside as old bottles into which newwine cannot be poured lest they break and the pap of lifebe lost, or worse, wasted. They are empty because theyhad the pretention of being full.The greatest strength, and the greatest weakness, ofour generation lies in recognizing and admitting thatthough we have pretentions we never deny them as such.Mr. Leavitt (in an article for the May issue of Esquire)brings this point out symbolically through the case ofMargaret, the heroine of the cult film “Liquid Sky.” In aconfrontation with her ex-teacher and ex-lover (a mannear fifty) he accuses her of dressing like a whore. She,retaliates by claiming that his jeans are every bit asmuch a costume as her red leather skirt, push up bra andmulti-colored hair, but as she says referring to herfriends, “At least we don't pretend we aren’t wearingcostumes.”Leavitt sees this sentiment as leading inevitably to bit¬terness and skepticism As he describes it, “Mine is a gen¬eration perfectly willing to admit its contemptible quali¬ties. But our self-contempt is self-congratulatory. Thebuzz in the background, every every minute of our lives,is that detached, ironic voice telling us: 'At least you'renot faking it, as they did, at least your’re not pretendingas they did. It's okay to be selfish as long as you’re up¬front about it’.” In an effort to escape dependency wevalue and trust only ourselves and money; and yet,argues Leavitt, underlying it all is an unspoken need forsecurity, for home.Leavitt is right in pointing to the self-Gonscious wearingof masks as characteristic of our generation. He has mas¬ terly ascertained that we use the masks to our own ends,and with great zeal, we inflict a good deal of pain on ourfriends. But because of our uncanny ability to abstractourselves from the immediate situation, the pain and suf¬fering ceases to be devisive and actually unites us one toanother. It’s what we have in common. It’s certainly not aconventional group, but it is a group, a gang, and it is thebasis for our social life together.What makes this little twisted and perverted socialunit appropriate for our age lies precisely in its ambigu-|ity. It is a fluid unit; never fixed in terms of size or dura¬tion or roles to be played out. It is free from the illusionsof a permanent ahistorical social matrix like “the Fami-‘ ly” or “Man.” It is concerned with dancing as it is withEthopia or with South Africa..It is above all else a new vision of the world. ArmistedMaupin describes this new social vision as well as anycontemporary writer in his Tales of The City Quartet.Here, at 23 Barbary Lane, in San Francisco, Maupin un¬folds the New Jerusalem. Mary Ann Singieton, twenty-five and polyester clad, arrives from Cleveland. Shestays. The boarding house in which she finds lodging isodd by even the most liberal estimation. There's Mona, alesbian who wants to be straight; Michael, a gay manwho’s looking for the relationship; Brian, a wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am kind of straight guy; and Anna Madri¬gal, the endearing, pot-smoking middle-aged landladywho used to be a landlord. In and out of this intimatenexus passes everything from the super-rich to thesuper-perverted, and everyone from Rock Hudson to JimJones.The salient feature of this new social unit is not toler¬ance. Tolerance, as Thomas Paine observed, is as much atyrranical mistress as is intolerance, for both presumethe right to judge. These people do not tolrate one an-^other. They criticize, inflict pain, and bitch, but they donot presume to jud^e: they accept one another. And it istheir acceptance of one another that forges them into thenew social ideal; it makes them a group, the gang. On thewhole, it presents an image of affirmation.The kind of affirmation and exhileration we felt onwatching The Big Chill. Though the film is about aging six¬ties radicals and their reaction to the first taste of theirown mortality, it had a massive appeal to my generation.There it was ..the gang (not replacing marriage but tran¬scending it). All of the pain and grief they felt or causedwas subsumed in the utopic vision depicted in the act ofwashing the dishes after dinner. It is a ritual cleansing,where the bonds of community are laid bare and the joytogether is sublime. Everything else pales by compari¬son.Thus, it is a small sun which rises on the horizon of ourexpectations. It will seem inadequate to those who came» before us— just imagine, America, without The Family orwithout the vision for a Great Society. We re .proposingno solution. We re not looking for solutions—we’re fartoo disillusioned for that. All we want is a place wherewe can wash the dishes, a place to dance; together. Thehope for Leavitt's dancing family lies only in its transfor¬mation into a gang. Now, they are connected by painrather than by law or by God. There is nothing perma¬nent in their new found connection, but they are noneth-1eless a group, and as such, they have an inertia of theirown which carries them into the open and uncertain fu¬ture Our gangs mark not a solution but a beginning Un¬able to rest in nostalgia, we live forward. We must. Andthough this is the bane of our time it is also the founda¬tion of our hope. In reply to the tasteless AIDS joke, I asked. “You don’thave any gay friends do you?” No “Well, you do nowI'm Michael Culp, class of '82 ” The three of us ate dinnertogether that evening.GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1985-7HAIR BALLA by Mark TomaHair. Worth seeing. Worth seeing morethan once. Pretty damn good.Criticisms: At times some of the perform¬ers seemed to suffer from a little openingnight tightness and inhibition, but every¬one got it together by the second act.Sometimes the dancers seemed like theycouldn’t decide whether to stick with thechoreography and keep in step with ev¬eryone else or cut loose and let it ali hangout. They were much better when they cutloose. The worst thing you could say aboutthe play was that it took place in the Reyn¬olds Club third floor theatre, a very boxy,unintimate place that cuts the performersoff from the audience making it hard forthem to generate any energy.Raves: Rather than go through the castand take each performance apart indivi¬dually, I'll say that the cast is uniformlygood, there are no weak performances,and what’s even better, they work to¬gether. There was a lot of very strong in¬teraction and cast spirit that spilled overinto the audience, and filled the wholetheatre with energy. Especially good wereElise Eisenberg. turning in a very daringand giving performance as Sheila, andVirginia Harding, whose completely unin¬hibited stage presence and bubbling inno¬cence make her hard not to watch. Also,the tribe was excellent, providing a con¬stant stream of "interesting things towatch, from a sensuous dance sequence sil¬houetted against a flourespent screen toweird manifestations of an acid tripper’smind that rush on stage and cream inanl-*ties like “White men rape our buffalo!’’,**they provide a certain energy and contin¬uity to a slightly discontinuous play.The difficulty in doing Hair is making itundated. The cast has to overcome, anddoes overcome, the idea that Hair has nothing to say to us.

I think that would definitely bemissing what Hair’s all about.What is Hair all about?Well, ya know, peace, love, freedom,happiness, all that shit and more. All stuffthat is very hard to capture on stage. Allcatchwords that became cliched, and losttheir spirit, after the sixties. What’s hardabout doing Hair is avoiding these clichesand capturing that lost spirit. The play isunmoving and even depressing if it turnsinto a “look we're all playing hippies,weren’t they funny back then”, periodpiece, mockery. The cast strives and reallygives throughout the performance not tofall into this trap, to break through andmake the themes of Hair relevant andreal, to capture the spirit of the play. Attimes they don’t make it, but they show acertain determination, they keep striving,*and sometimes they hit it. By the secondact they hit it and kept it and by the end ofthe show the whole audience had it.
