TheGov't, toWASHINGTON, DC (CFS) -The current effort to renew thelandmark Higher Education Act,which sets the outlines of federalcollege policy through the nextfive years, has broadened into aspirited debate over just how in¬volved the federal governmentshould be in higher education.By law, Congress must renewthe act every five years.In the past, the renewal processhas featured routine political ar¬guments over whether to startnew programs and how muchmoney to give old ones.This time, led by US EducationSecretary William Bennett, crit¬ics are promoting a series of fun¬damental changes in the law that,if enacted, would begin a new eraof college history.“The warning shots suggestthis will be a much more basic de¬bate than the previous five-yearreauthorizations, ” says Universi¬ty of Minnesota education Prof.Jim Hearn, who has studied theimpact of the original 1965 HigherEducation Act on colleges.Bennett recently announced hewould unveil his proposals foramending the Higher EducationAct in January, but previouscomments suggest he’ll try to cutmost programs.Observers expect Bennett willreflect the broad conservativecritique of the act surfacing justas many educators prepare to statement went on to say thatMEGA “hopes to be able to workwith Florida in achieving thegoals we have set.”Florida in turn expressed hopethat his policy differences withMEGA “will not hinder us fromproducing a more productive andrepresentative SG.”In other elections, FreshmenJim Chung, Adam Shepard andShirley Chung were electedFreshman Representatives. Thefourth position was a tie betweenErica Garsson and Mero Guir-guis. The full Assembly willbreak the tie at the next meet¬ing.Final counts for other positionswill be completed soon.celebrate the law’s 20th anniver¬sary.The celebrants say the law,which effectively invented moststudent financial aid programsand fueled an era of unprecedent¬ed growth in American higher ed¬ucation, made it possible for a so¬ciety to educate much of itsmiddle and lower classes for thefirst time in history.The critics say the law, in fact,made it too easy to go to college,let colleges make themselves tooexpensive to be useful, andlowered the quality of college ed¬ucations.It’s so easy for students to getfederal aid that schools “acceptstudents who are unprepared oruninterested in rigorous academ¬ic training,” contends EileenGardner of the Heritage Founda¬tion, a Washington, DC think tankwhose education policies havebeen adopted by the Reagan ad¬ministration in the past.The easy money “has prompt¬ed too many colleges to abandonsubstantive core (curricula) infavor of a hodgepodge of coursesgeared to the interests of those(uninterested) students, therebygutting the value of a college edu¬cation,” Gardner charges.“A lot of colleges have satisfiedtheir urge to grow by enrollingkids who shouldn’t be in college,and grabbing the federal moneythese kids bring along.” adds SG Presidentrace resultsBill Florida238 votesPhyllis Williamson212 votesPaul Song204 votesRaymond Lewin, president ofPierce College in Philadelphia.“It’s foolish,” he says, “tospend $4,000 to $5,000 to sendsomeone who doesn’t know howto read to college.”Critics also contend the HigherEducation Act allowed colleges toraise tuition with impunity, figur¬ing the federal government wouldsimply increase aid enough tohelp students pay the higherfare.And because colleges couldraise money so readily, theycould pay fat teacher salaries,impose light teaching loads andgrow large, inefficient bureau¬cracies.Some academicians, while ack-owledging college standardshave fallen, say it’s wrong toblame federal programs.“Wherever quality has slipped,it’s been self-inflicted,” saysRobert Hardesty, president ofSouthwest Texas State Universi¬ty-site of Lyndon Johnson’s sign¬ing of the Higher Education Actin 1965—and host of the nationalanniversary ceremony on No¬vember 7-8.Hardesty thinks critics of theHigher Education Act are “eli¬tists” upset that too many peopleare getting degrees, “revision¬ists” who are wrong to say the actwas never designed to send poorstudents to private schools, orcontinued on page fivetry education reformThp Kersten Physics Teaching Center will be dedicated today after a day'* „i -*ce-related seminars Three students arrestedat abortion clinicBy Larry PeskinStaff WriterTwo editors and the publisherof a now-defunct conservativecampus newspaper, The ChicagoPatriot, were arrested Saturdayin a protest at a Loop abortionclinic.Charged with disorderly con¬duct were U of C students RussellMiller, Paul Smith and DavidWhite.

Well, the forms resulted in a com¬puter listing of the classes and an appro¬priate bill from the bursar each quarter.The pictures likewise served a function. Thefirst College-wide student photo directorywill appear around November 1. Freshmenpictures will be duplicates of those in the“pic book.” Informative captions for each mug shot will give the name, campus ad¬dress and campus phone number. Entrieswill be alphabetized.The project was initially suggested byKatie Nash, associate dean of the Collegeand an advisor, and was discussed by theQuality of Student Life on Campus Commit¬tee two years ago. Members of the commit¬tee thought the idea of a picture directorywas promising because students (and evenprofessors and administrators) often knowother students only by a first name and aface. With the new book, “...if you meetsomeone named Louie in class, you can justlook through all the ‘Louies’,” Nash ex¬plained jokingly. Someone known only by sight could be matched with a completename and location.The project appealed greatly to Bill Flori¬da, recently elected SG president, and withseveral friends, he gathered informationand estimates on production. The directorywas approved, but no money was allocated.“So we were left with all this organizationbut no funds,” Florida said. Again, withfriends, he spent August and Septemberselling advertising space to local Hyde Parkbusinesses and campus organizations, net¬ting around $2000. Student Government ad¬vanced a loan, and the College Student As¬sembly contributed. Additional revenueswill come from the $2/book sale price. Flori¬ da pointed out that this was both cheaperthan the yearbook and more practical foreveryday use.Many students devoted a great deal oftime and effort to the publication. Amongthose most involved were: Bill Florida,Jamie Graf, Matt Green, Maria Bidelman,Nancy Loube, and Geoff Sherry.Nash thinks that the directory will“...help to quell the feelings of isola tion,”because “...one of the things we hear at se¬nior week...over and over again is, ‘Mygosh, are you still here?!’ ” She hopes thatwith pictures, students will be able to stay intouch with the students they first saw inCommon Core classes.Abortioncontinued from page onetion, “if we hadn’t gone that day thatwouldn’t have happened. It’s worth fifty ar¬rests to be able to say that.”Miller, Smith and White now plan to starta chapter of the Pro-Life Action League oncampus. This league is run by JoeScheidler, a militant Chicago anti-abortion-Governmentcontinued from page one“thinly-disguised racists” who mask theirprejudices with a professed concern for edu¬cational quality.“There is some truth” to the notion thatthe programs diminished classroom quali¬ty, says Terry Hartle of the American En¬terprise Institute, “but what we’re seeingare some second and third generation prob¬lems. The thrust of the 1965 law is notthreatened.”Minnesota’s Hearn says it’s “naive” to at¬tribute academic troubles to financial aid,adding he thinks any decline in educationalquality results from a complex mix of fac¬tors.Even critic Gardner stops short of sayingfinancial aid is a primary cause of lowerquality, claiming instead there is “a strongprobable connection” between the two.Still, Gardner—and probably the adminis¬tration—are determined to convince Con- ist. A three page interview of Scheidler wasfeatured in the first and only issue of the Pa¬triot. White expressed distress that otherpro-life groups on campus will not associatewith Scheidler, and he added that his group,if formed, would bring Scheidler to the U ofC. They would also plan more picket activi¬ties and sit-ins.gress to use the reauthorization debate tomake it harder for students and colleges toget federal money.Some observers, for example, expectBennett to propose that students maintainhigher grades in order to get and keep fed¬eral aid.Lewin of Pierce College, who supports theidea, estimates anywhere from 25 to 50 per¬cent of the students who now get aid wouldlose their loans and grants if Congressagreed to it.The same critics have failed to convinceCongress to approve cutbacks and similarchanges in the last three years, but Gardnerthinks the administration could win thistime if it sticks to its principles.“There is a failure (in the administration)to walk these things through,” she says.“Sure it’s walking against the tide, but youhave to keep pushing.” CSA to hostBy Hilary TillSenior News EditorThe College Student Assembly (CSA) andthe University’s Quality of Life committeeare sponsoring a Casino night during Home¬coming weekend.Complete with roulette tables, slot ma¬chines, and “all the traditional stuff,” thegambling event will take place Friday, Oc¬tober 25, in Ida Noyes Hall, reported JohnLandry, CSA’s Hifchcock/Snell representa¬tive.

A University representative peggedthe cost at $3-6 million and added that“there is no way we can get that kind ofmoney back in rent”.The Plaisance has 126 apartments. As¬suming an average rent of $350/mo, thistranslates into $43,130 in rent-intake/mo.($157.560/yr) In addition, four businesssuites located on the first floor conservati¬vely add another $2,000/mo (total$24.000/yr). This combines to a total yearlyintake of $541,560. Anyone familiar with ren¬tal figures in Hyde Park can understandthat we are very conservative with our ren¬tal estimates for this large-roomed high risewith a commanding view of the Lake andJackson Park.If the overhead costs totaled $250,000 peryear, this would still yield a net profit of ap¬ proximately $300,000/yr. Such an operatingmargin does provide a “way we can get ourmoney back” within a decade or two. Fewbusinesses can recoup their improvementinvestments in just a couple of years. In ad¬dition, we question whether the $3-6 millionfigure cited above, is a conservative valueor a liberal one, considering that the build¬ing seems to need only plastering, roof andwindow repairs, as well as utility upgrad¬ing. Indeed, some of the necessary workcould be performed by the artisans the Uni¬versity keeps on its permanent payroll.It seems there is a deeper problem. Forsome reason, the Housing Department hasmade little effort to promote or rent out theapartments over the past few years. Per¬haps the University administrators justdon’t like the building. Perhaps they don’tlike its location (on the Midway).Folly dictates you like your whims. Re¬sponsible business sense dictates you likesound investments. The Plaisance is a goodinvestment subjected to the disaffectatiouswhims of some normally responsible Uni¬versity administrators.The Committee to Save the PlaisanceTHE CHICAGO MAROONINVITESSTUDENTS, FACULTY, ANDOTHERS TO WRITE ON THEQUESTION:SHOULD THEUNIVERSITY DIVESTITS HOLDINGS INCOMPANIES THATDO BUSINESS INSOUTH AFRICA?The Maroon will select and publish pieces that bestrepresent each side of this issue as part of an upcomingspecial report examining the divestment controversy.All submissions should be typed, double-spaced andshould not exceed 1500 words in length. Bring all sub¬missions to the Maroon office (Ida Noyes 303) no laterthanFRIDAY, OCTOBER 25 Demolition is tooBy Len KleknerI read the Maroon’s article on the Univer¬sity’s plan to demolish the Plaisance withsadness and frustration. The sadness wasoccasioned by yet another example of theUniversity’s approach to real estate man¬agement and neighborhood conservation.The frustration is owed to the fact that thereis nothing any of us can do about it. As wehave seen in the case of the Ida Noyestheatre, even campus planning lacks care¬ful consideration and once even clearlywrong-headed decisions are made, they aremade. University planners are not givingadequate thought to the consequences oftheir decisions. They refuse to accept criti¬cism or entertain community input. And, asthis case shows, they prefer to work by fiatbeyond the range of scrutiny. It is clear thatthe real decisions on the fate of the Plai¬sance were made at least two, and perhapseven five or six years ago when the sameadministrators who now endorse its demoli¬tion established a pattern and even aprocess of neglect. It is this neglect which isnow being used to justify the building’s de¬molition.The University’s planners and their con¬sultants seem to be especially lacking andshort-sighted intbi'ee areas. Their survey ofthe structured condition seems to be bothinadequate and biased. They show no evi¬dence of having considered the conse¬quences of demolition. And they remainparticularly insensitive to the housing needsof the community—even the basic Universi¬ty community. Contra Kleinbard, there is acrying need for faculty, staff and studenthousing at affordable prices. Not all facultyare full professors. Not all students are pro¬fessional school students who can afford tolive high on the hog on their student loansand summer salaries. And few on the staffmake anywhere near the salaries of ourcorps of decision-making vice-presidents.The remarkable thing about the Plai¬sance is that for a building of small units itis so well constructed. In fact, its construc¬tion is among the most solid in the neighbor¬hood. It just may be the best small-unitbuilding in the community. And this makesthe University’s decision to demolish itespecially regrettable, because this is ex¬actly the kind of building the basic Universi¬ty community needs. One should add thatcontemporary construction is just not up tothe standards of the better buildings of thatperiod. The Plaisance cannot be replaced.With regard to the consequences: Do weneed another vacant lot? That is what weare likely to get, and what we will have toput up with for some time. Given the loca¬tion and the investment climate (if one evenwants to call it that) for real estate on theSouth Side, a replacement apartment struc¬ture is out of the question. The eventual al¬ternatives are low-rise development or acommercial complex. Both are inappropri¬ate for this prime, park-adjacent site. Andnone of the options would maintain the cur¬rent rational relation of building to site.Current construction is either too self-con¬tained or too automobile-conscious to main¬tain the logic of the urban fabric, t he Plai¬sance is the anchor of the Universitycommunity’s southeast corner. Its demoli¬tion would extend the gash of unused landfrom Blackstone to Stony Island, and effec¬tively consign the east end of the Midway tooblivion.Wi;h regard to the housing needs of the community: Here University plannersseem to be especially short-sighted. Someyears ago, the housing office over-projectedthe need for married student housing andsince then the whole University seems to bein one big retreat from the issue of housing.One problem is that University planners inwhatever office tend to think in gross statis¬tics and never attempt a more subtle analy¬sis of the housing needs of the community.Hyde Park is a sellers’ market. Some con¬stituencies are well provided for, others not.More affluent strata of every constituency(faculty, staff, students) may have somechoice. Some constituencies receive specialtreatment. Married students are well treat¬ed as long as they remain enrolled full-time,not always the easiest feat. Graduate stu¬dents in the hard sciences benefit from thestaff status that a good many of them enjoyas lab and teaching assistants. Other stu¬dents have a tougher time. And securing de¬cent, affordable housing is no picnic formost junior faculty and many staffmembers. These are the individuals in needof the smaller units that are disappearing atan alarming rate. A stable community is notrooted in ownership alone; stability is alsodependent on continuity. And a whole gener¬ation of individuals that either grew up hereor hoped to remain after graduation from; the University, is finding that there is noplace for them in Hyde Park. Within tenyears, as a very substantial portion of thefaculty approaches retirement, both theUniversity and the local real estate marketwill undergo major transitions. There is noquestion that the University will survive,but the lack of continuity will take its toll onthe real estate market.The bottom line on University planning isalways money. The $3-6 million estimate onrenovations seems unusually high, but thento be honest the University has not faredwell in its rehabilitation projects as com¬pared with private developers in the neigh¬borhood. Perhaps some questions need to beasked or some new approaches need to betried. The University seems to be clearly atfault in regard to the building’s currentlosses. Perhaps a local realtor could bettermanage the property.Finally, there is the great unspoken issueof racial and economic balance in the com¬munity. Here, at least in the eyes of Univer¬sity planners, it has always been a case ofsurvival over morality. And I have no doubtthat in someone’s little mind that is what thedemolition of the Plaisance comes dov'n to.Realizing that it is impossible to put a dentin the survivalist mind-set, one is stillmoved to wonder why it is that the survival-ists always push straight for the apocalypticscenario—incessantly, demolition is pre¬sented as the only alternative. Instead of eli¬minating small-unit buildings, why can’tthe University’s survivalists be content withthe ploy the private sector has been usingfor years: high rents with substantial dis¬counts to University staff and students. Ipersonally have problems with this, butthere is a building to be saved. Demolition,like the death penalty, is all too final.The Plaisance is likely lost. But one lessoncan be learned from this. The University’splanners need careful scrutiny. And deci¬sions, frequently even minor ones, affectingbuildings in the community need media at¬tention. Had the shift to monthly leases orUniversity neglect been reported two yearsago, the Plaisance might have had achance. One hopes that the Maroon will takea more activist role in this regard.The Chicago MaroonThe Chicago Maroon »s the official student newspaper of the University of Chicago.It is published twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Fridays.Mail subscriptions are available for $24 per year.The Maroon welcomes letters and other contributions from students, faculty, staff,and others.

Theshow features eight tableaux and what’scalled The Art Show — a sort of tableaux-environment-gallery opening. There alsois a videotape of Kienholz in his earlierL.A. days. The tape is so dated and socomic that at times it seems contrived. Thedates of the tableaux on display rangefrom 1979 to 1984; The Art Show wasbegun in 1963 and completed in 1977.Ed Kienholz has been described as “awitness to the unseen miseries beneaththe surface of modern life.” His work hasbeen described as poignant and mordant.He got himself into the Art History textswith two pieces from the mid-sixties, TheWait of 1964-1965, and The State Hospi¬tal of 1966. The Wait is an old, bony, de¬cayed fiberglass woman sitting alone, thetable next to her is filled with old photo¬graphs. She has no head, in its place is ablack and white photo portrait. On theother side of the table is a live bird in abird cage. The State Hospital is twonaked, emaciated fiberglass men with fishbowls for heads, chained to an institution¬al bunkbed. The tableaux at MCA, thoughequally as penetrating, are not quite aslacerating as these earlier pieces. The fig¬ures have not been dehumanized to thesame extent.One of the most jarring motifs in theKienholz-Reddin work (Kienholz has beencollaborating with his wife Nancy Reddinsince the 70’s) is their use of black andwhite photo portraits on the figures assubstitutes for heads or faces. These fig¬ures have been decapitated but not de¬stroyed. Through the photos the charac¬ters maintain a specific identity. Throughthe photos Kienholz and Reddin are ableto appropriate facial expression and di¬rection of gaze with more clarity than ifthey had cast and painted the faces asthey did the bodies. Bat identity and clari¬ty don’t seem to get at the result of put¬ting a black and white photo portrait on acast and painted (in color) body. MaybeSusan Sontag's idea that “a photograph isboth a pseudo-presence and a token of ab¬sence” approaches the result. Kienholzand Reddin literally and physically com¬bine a person with an image of his/her ownabsence. Absence is then compounded bythe character’s apparent psychologicalabsence from his/her environment.Many of the tableaux raise questionsabout public accessibility to private infor¬mation, about human alienation, isolation,resignation, and (lack of) communication —pretty hefty thematic lineup, huh? A lotdeal with these questions as they pertainto family. Bout Round Eleven is one thatpacks in all sorts of this stuff. On one sidea man is seated at a table staring at a tvthat has a protruding and growlinghound’s head. On the other side a womanstands facing away from him, leaningagainst the rail structure which enclosesthe tableau. To her side on the back of thetableau is an enlarged portrait photo ofherself, the photo is placed behind bars.Presumably it’s a domestic scene, she’swearing a pink robe and slippers and he’swearing a blue collared shirt, jeans, and apair of slippers. The two figures and thephoto all gazing in different directions October 18,1985 • 18th YearNancy Reddin works on a figure Subject getting plasteredTHE PRESENCE OF ABSENCETHE PASSING OF TIMEBout Round 11, 1982REDDIN-KIENHOLZ AT THE MCA denote an obvious lack of communicationand connote emotional stagnation. Thoughthe figures are trapped in this environ¬ment, they show no signs of wanting or at¬tempting to get out. It seems the only oneresponding to the situation is the houndcaught in the tv.A number of the tableaux are abouttime in some way or another. Portrait of aMother with Past Affixed Also directlyaddresses memory and aging. For thispiece Kienholz actually cast his motherand recreated her home for the setting.The mother character holds a picture ofherself as a young girl, doll arms reach outfor her from the picture. This gesture is acurious twist on the usual desire to go backto the past, to youth. Here youth is reach¬ing for a future identity, child reaching outto herself as mother. The impossibility ofsuch time alterations imbues the workwith sadness. On the wall behind her is apoem that speaks to her thoughts:ResignationWhen the trials of life assail usAnd the storm clouds gather low,In the blinding tears of heartacheThe flower of understanding grow.For nothing is forever,And life is but a day.Though great the sorrow of theheart,Even this shall pass away.A couple of the works are transforma¬tions of actual storefronts. Night Clerk atthe Young Hotel is one of them. At firstglance it looks like this is the sort of scenecaptured by the artists eye, who recog¬nizes it as complete art, so then coats it infiberglass and sets it in a museum. Butthere is evidence of transformation, bothin the clerk’s photo face and in an unex¬pected Kermit the frog standing on the topof the key case. The Jesus Corner, anotherfound scene, has some striking impositionsof popular-consumer culture. On the rightside of the tableau, behind a locked doorin a closet space cramped with lots of junkand a cross, is a Gucci shopping bag. In theJesus window display there is a picture ofJesus propped on a mirror. Printed on themirror is "Helena Rubenstein The Scienceof Beauty”.The way the exhibition is set up, you seethe eight tableaux first, then you walkinto The Art Show. The Art Show providescomic relief, which I found necessary aftermeandering around the other pieces. TheArt Show is a set up of about 20 figures ina pseudo gallery opening, complete with areceptionist and punch bowl. Kienholzdates it 1966: ‘‘I will probably place thistableau in 1966 to be able to use mini¬skirts on some of the lovelies.” The figureshave air conditioning vents in their faces.When you push the button attached tothem, they talk. The intention was, accord¬ing to Kienholz, “to make the sculpturestalk, speaking all that art world twaddlethat critics write, which doesn’t have muchmeaning and no one really understands orgives a damn about anyway.” The actualshow on the wall consists of photos, draw¬ings, and collages of the sculpture-figuresin the process of creation. It's a tellingcomment on the often incestuous and nar¬cissist nature of the art world.Mishima: A Biographyby John NathanLittle, Brown and Company, 1974281 pages; $9.95‘‘Most writers are perfectly normal andjust carry on like wild men; I behave nor¬mally but I’m sick inside.”—Yukio Mishimaby Steven K. AmsterdamI Thinking back to the publication of hisfirst volume of short stories, Yukio Mishi¬ma said, “Now I was ready to die.” At the5 time, he was 19 and it was 1944. Ameri¬can air raids and fire bombing of Tokyoconvinced him that death was near, and achildhood of repression and protectionmade him yearn for it. The boy survived,but the sense of imminent death stayedwith him.Mishima is a detailed account of thewriter living his life of depression and dis¬satisfaction; his adolescent poetry, hisfeelings of anticlimax after the Japanesesurrender, his unusual success in the 50s,his rapid decline in the 60s, and his dra¬ matic, ritual suicide in 1970. John Nathan,who translated Mishima’s The Sailor WhoFell From Grace With The Sea. provides athorough but respectful biography. Hiscontact with Mishima, as well as subse¬quent interviews with his family and friends, serve as the best possible sourcesfor such an undertaking. Not merely an an¬ecdotal biography, Nathan analyzes Mi¬shima’s actions and the characters hecreated.In 1949, while the rest of Japansearched itself for resources and strength,the young Mishima published an uncom¬fortable and self-involved autobio¬graphy. He described the mysterious wishfor the death that almost came. (In the50s, he wrote that after the war, “...wewere driven from a world in which deathwas a reality into a world where death isno more than an idea: the sense of realitywe enjoyed in a life that was close todeath has now been transformed into anidea.”) Confessions of a Mask was his firstsuccessful novel, and a controversial air¬ing of private insecurities. He discusses hisagonizing childhood: being raised by adomineering and invalid grandmotherwho rarely allowed him to go out, to spend time alone with his parents, or to playwith other children. He remembered anContinued on page 5MISHIMA: DECAY OF AN ANGELjHow will you meet thehigh cost of higher education?Apply now for an8% student loanfrom Marine MidlandWith Marines Guaranteed Student Loans, quali¬fied undergraduates can get up to $2,500 ayear and graduate students up to $5,000 a yearto help finance college costs.

Originally producedin 1981 as Sixty-six Scenes of Hallow¬een the show is a conglomeration ofshort takes involving a youngish cou¬ple at home on Halloween. Thematerial is, in theory, fairly interestingbut nothing is done with it — it just laysthere. Like last year’s productionWhite Biting Dog the Remains TheatreEnsemble seems intrigued with theidea that there is more going on aroundus then we care to see. SeventyScenes uses the imagery of Halloween(ghosts and beasts and various spirits)to represent the unnamed anxieties inthe relationship of our somewhat bor¬ing couple Tempers flare, ghosts runin and out of the closet; desires for communication go unfulfilled andunearthly voices call out to thebewildered couple. But none of it holdstogether. It is an interesting premisewith no follow up Like White BitingDog, the worlds of the supernaturaland unexplainable enter the lives ofangst ridden but inarticulate middleclass characters. This should be in¬teresting; it is. to fact, the same ter¬ritory Steven Spielberg covers in filmslike Close Encounters of the Third Kindand Poltergeist to much better effectthan the Remains’ productions This isnot due to a lower budget and theabsence of ominously rolling clouds inthe Goodman Studio, it is rather thatRemains has been choosing ill-conceived and weakly developedmaterial. When they get their hands onchallenging material the RemainsTheatre Ensemble is able to create ex¬citing and provocative theatre unlikeanything else being done in Chicago(i.e. Sam Shepard’s The Tooth ofCrime and a bizarre adaptation of MobyDick). However their eclectic style isput to no good effect in diffuse materiallike Seventy Scenes As the leads AlanNovak and Natalie West do their bestwith the shallow characterizations thescript provides but even Novak’s amaz¬ingly high energy level and manicdelivery could not keep this viewer'sinterest. And so. at this point I mustconfess I did what no reviewer shouldever do — I left at intermission. I can¬not help but feel that the first respon¬sibility of a dramatic work is to engagethe viewer on some level; interest inthe characters, in the issues involved,in the atmosphere — anything. Theatredoes not have the luxury of beingeither boring or pointless in this age ofendless video stimulation. SeventyScenes of Halloween is like a tat catpurring at its own cleverness. And as isthe case with most fat smug cats I see.I wanted very much to kick it. As acounterweight to my boredom anddislike I should mention that the au¬dience loved it. Each scene was in¬itiated by a far away backstage voiceyelling. “Scene — go!” This neverfailed to provoke at least a few laughsand titters Whatever the joke was. itwas going right over my head.

In his re¬cent book, Freedom Rising, James Northgoes beyond descriptions of the South Af¬rican apartheid system to reveal the day-to-day struggle in the lives of those wholive under it.North grew up in South Shore, practical¬ly in our neighborhood, an area of Amer¬ica not particularly well-known for itsgood race relations. He calls the Cove hisneighborhood bar.He went to South Africa in 1978, stron¬gly encouraged by the Northwestern En¬glish professor and South African exileDennis Brutus. Initially he and his girl¬friend planned to stay for a year or sotravelling and writing articles for TheNew Republic and In These Times, a Chica¬go-based socialist newspaper. Four yearslater North was still there long after hisgirlfriend had left; he was nearing the endof his journeys. Operating out of Swazi¬land, North travelled twenty five thou-sand[ miles throughout southern Africa. Hevisited the plush suburbs of Johannes¬burg, the poverty-stricken townships, andthe war-torn border regions. He witnessedRhodesia becoming Zimbabwe.In the past several years news aboutSouth Africa has scarely ever left thefront pages of the newspapers. JamesNorth goes beyond these mere reports outof Johannesburg or Pretoria. His accountis an intensely personal one. He spokewith many people of different colors andbackgrounds and their experiences pro¬vide us with perceptions that not onlymake us empathize, but demand that weunderstand the situation in that part ofthe world.His story is the tale of their lives. SivaPatel, an Indian schoolteacher, sells booksafter being banned by the government forteaching true history to his students in ad¬dition to the rewritten textbooks whichare the foundation of bantu education.Patel later escapted to Swaziland, unableto furthe tolerate his isolation from his fel¬low South Africans.Patel’s frustration is shared by MandlaMazibuko, a black student, whom Northmet in 1979. Mazibuko was brought up to cherish and revere non-violence and Chris¬tianity. Later, after he was dragged froma prayer reading session and beaten re¬lentlessly for days, he reevaluated hisfaith and concluded, “If you do not resistevil, you are assisting evil and you are be¬coming a part of evil.” Mazibuko fled toZimbabwe where he joined the guerillaforces.North did not speak only to those peopleoppresssed by apartheid. The Africaanertrucker DuPreez gleefully laughs and tellshow he ran over a kaffir, a derogatorySouth African term for a black. “Theyfound a half of him on one side of the road,and the other half on the other side. Theynever found the middle half.” Yet Du¬Preez can later pick up a stranded co¬loured trucker and amiably talk shop.North records a white farmer almostamazed to hear himself admit, "If I were ablack man I don’t know how hard I’d workeither.” These many schizophrenic sup¬porters of apartheid are in sharp contrastto the liberal teachers and the increasingnumber of young English-speaking whiteSouth Africans and Africaaners who op¬pose the system.Apartheid divides all people from oneanother. White athletes like soccer starLucky Styklianou play against blackteams, but are likely to be arrested if theyare in a restricted black township withouta permit. Author Nadine Gordimer speaksfor many when she writes of the conflictbetween artistic integrity and social re¬sponsibility in Burger’s Daughter, abook initially banned by the govern¬ ment.These sports stars and writers becomeheroes for a people who have few politicalleaders not in prison or in exile. North didnot intend to give detailed biographies offamous writers or guerilla leaders. In¬stead he dwells on the forgotten people,who are forced to eke out a miserable ex¬istence in the Bantustans. Assigningblacks to these regions deprives them ofSouth African citizenship. North justlycompares this government policy to thedenationalization of Jews in Nazi Ger¬many. Despite South Africa’s great wealthand advanced health care, blacks in these“homelands” are dying from diseasessuch as from typhoid, polio, tuberculosisand cholera. Infant mortality runs as highas 282 children out of a thousand births.This policy of containing the blacks in thepoorest parts of the country is more than atype of genocide. It also prevents the dif¬ferent black peoples from uniting in theircommon struggle. The apartheid govern¬ment hopes to keep their rapidly erodingdistinctions alive in order to prevent anyeffective political resistence from emerg¬ing.North sees the change to majority rule inZimbabwe as a model for South Africa.Zimbabwe faced the same problems as herneighbor South Africa: white appropria¬tion and control of land, poorly paidworkers, Tribal Trust lands, and an oscil¬lating migatory labour system.The liberation struggle in South Africahas now been waged for over half a centu¬ry. The African National Congress (ANC) was established in 1912 and organizednon-cooperation and civil disobedienceagainst apartheid. The organizationfought stubbornly and nonviolently for itsgoals until the early ’60s. Under ANC lead¬er Nelson Mandela, currently serving alife term on Robben Island prison, the frus¬trated movement began to change tactics.In the Sharpeville massacre in 1961 thepolice opened fire on a crowd demonstrat¬ing against the pass laws. This incident ini¬tiated a new era of repression against theorganization which went underground andturned to armed struggle.In 1979-80, with the foundation of half adozen new unions, labour joined the strug¬gle and staged a series of wildcat strikesto protest political firings. Initially theunions were tolerated by the government,which feared western reprisals if theywere crushed, but during the successfulstay-at-home strike commemorating theSoweto uprisings of 1976, the apartheidpolice once again opened fire, killingforty-two people in the ghetto of Elsie’sRiver.Western investments have great influ¬ence over the government’s domestic poli¬cies; advocating divestment from SouthAfrica is a capital crime. Foreign invest¬ment is essential to the growth of theSouth African economy and supports themost repressive sections of society, likethe military and the pass book system.Some argue that this economic leveragewill benefit workers and help reform themigrant labour system. North categorical¬ly rejects this possibility and points outthat in the last twenty-five years, theeconomy has grown at an average growthrate of seven percent, yet none of theseprofits were used to reform the laboursystem or improve the conditions in theBantustans. Economic growth has onlyserved to further entrench the fundamen¬tal features of apartheid.North beiieves that the liberation ofSouth Africa is inevitable. Despite theheritage of non-violent resistance, it isclear that the only way South Africa canbe freed is through a violent strugglewhich will combine the economic sanctionsof western countries, township uprisings,labour actions and guerrilla attacks.North’s book is one of the few books ofgeneral interest written about South Afri¬ca in recent years. Perhaps his account canhelp understand the great change thatwill take place in South Africa in the com¬ing years.MISHIMAContinued from page 1early envy of all that was not sterile andsickly, like his home. In his schools, Mishi-ma appears to have been a prodigious andsometimes pretentious writer. But schooldid not provide relief for Mishima’s feel¬ings of distance and he continued to wait,as time would certainly make him feel nor¬mal.Mishima was 16 when the Japanese at¬tacked Pearl Harbor and 20 when webombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Duringthat time, it seems that he wanted tothrow himself into all things that repre¬sented strength and life. He was romanti¬cally involved with a woman, and he wasobsessed with the thought of their inno¬cence and, perhaps, their marriage. But, inaddition to these feelings, he describedsado-masochistic and homosexual fanta¬sies that lurked in his imagination. Leav¬ing Tokyo for military training, he al¬lowed his duties as a solider to preventthe relationship from going further thanone odd, empty kiss. He was “relieved ofthe burden to love her.” In the army, helied to doctors about his health and savedhimself from serving in combat. By the endof the war., all of his desires had been de¬feated. He had found love to be nothingmore than a masquerade and fighting tobe impossibly frightening. As Nathan haswritten, “For Yukio Mishima, the surren¬der was no reprieve, but a sentence tolife.”Nathan examines Mishima’s writings forreflections of the writer’s mind. The char¬acters are lonely, vindictive and tragic.(The Sound of Waves, however, one of hisbest received novels, tells a story of com¬plete purity. A beautiful girl and a hand¬some boy fall into bashful, uncomplicatedlove. Mishima later referred to the bookas “that joke on the public.”) In one story,a couple drifts apart and the man findsthat what he longs for is not reconciliation,but death. This is like young Mishima trag¬ically abandoning the idea of marriage forthe idea of war. In the end, like Mishima,the man is unsure if he is alive.Mishima was a capable pilot, conductor,actor, body builder and director, in addi¬tion to being a writer. With this diversity,he was comfortable in several differentcrowds. He was active in literary circlesand usually on friendly terms with his con¬temporaries. He loved the theater andhad ties with many famous performers. Until his marriage in 1958, he was openlyhomosexual. With all of his friends, how¬ever, Mishima was temperamental and in¬consistent.At 11 in the evening, he left all of theseworlds to work. Even when his life was ho¬pelessly chaotic, everything about Mishi¬ma’s writing was meticulous. He wrote sixhours a night, usually from midnight untilsix in the morning. Most of his 18 playswere written in less than a week, somewere completed in one sitting. All wereelaborately performed. He never misseddeadlines, and once a word had been writ¬ten, he rarely changed it. He never maderevisions.Mishima also controlled his publicimage. He publicized his desire for a “pub¬lic” wife. In “The Writer And Marriage,”he wrote “With regard to her behavior inthe outside world I will not be generouswith her; the world will be watching.” Al¬though a poll revealed that many womenwould rather commit suicide, a collegesophomore named Yoko volunteered tomarry him. Nathan speculates that thereasons were Mishima’s “fame, his charis¬ma, and his undeniable if disturbing sexu¬ality.”In any event, she fulfilled his needs.They gave lavish, but carefully controlledparties that were over by midnight so Mi¬shima could work. They travelled togetherand he made the point of including her inconversations indicating a respect unusualbetween Japanese husband and wife.They were rarely seen to disagree.Kyoko’s House, which Mishima finishedin 1960, is the story of a businessman, aboxer and an actor, each deprived of hap¬piness in society and each representativeof one of Mishima’s masks. The business¬man’s solution to his dissatisfaction is ni¬hilism. The actor lifts weights to add sub¬stance to his being, but it is not enough: hefinds solace in a blood obsession and final¬ly suicide. The boxer, incapacitated by abroken hand, joins a group of right wingextremists. A member of the group tellsthe boxer, “I see the ideology outside ofmyself, and I use it as a tool to obtain anindescribable rapture, to feel that my owndeath and the death of others is alwaysclose to me.” The lives of these characterscan be seen as broken autobiography,predicting the rest of Mishima’s life.His most famous novel in the West, TheSailor Who Fell From Grace With The Seawas published in 1963. Like Kyoko’sHouse, The Sailor met with a lukewarm re¬ception. Mishima was beginning to realize that his themes and his references were nolonger appealing to his usual college audi¬ence and he was falling behind theyounger writers. Although he rarely dis¬cussed his decline in popularity, it clearlyaffected him.In 1965, Mishima said that he wouldbegin to work on a series of novels thatwould be 3,000 pages and completed by1970. The final tetralogy, The Sea Of Fer¬tility, would be his major statement. Fromthis time on, his life became more politicalwhile he began ending professional rela¬tionships and abandoning friendships.Mishima as Saint Sebastian“Sun and Steel," a book-length essay in¬dependent of the tetralogy, was pub¬lished in 1968. This most clearly describesthe philosophy that he spent his entire lifetrying to understand: “Admittedly I couldsee my own muscles in the mirror. Yet see¬ing alone was not enough to bring me intocontact with the roots of my sense of exis¬tence, an immeasurable distance re¬mained between me and the euphoricsense of true being...In other words, theself-awareness that I staked on musclescould not be satisfied with the darkness of the pallid flesh pressing about it as an en¬dorsement of existence, but, like the blindcore of the apple, was driven to crave cer¬tain proof of its existence so fiercely thatit was bound, sooner or later, to destroythat existence... That, precisely, is whenthe knife of the foe must come cutting intothe flesh of the apple — or rather, of myown flesh. Blood flows, existence is de¬stroyed, and the shattered senses givesexistence as a whole its first endorsement,closing the logical gap between seeing andexisting.”As the 60s ended, Mishima founded arightist group of soldiers, The Shield Soci¬ety, to fight for the restoration of the em¬peror to his original authority, with the in¬stitution of the “cultural emperor,” a termMishima never full explained. He ledthese men on several training missions,paid for their uniforms and instructedthem in his beliefs.The fast book of his cycle, The Decay ofthe Angel, was finished, as he had said itwould be, in the summer of 1970. He com¬pleted all projects, fulfilled all remainingcontracts and broke off all friendships.On November 25, the Shield Society, ledby Mishima, launched an attack of the Na¬tional Diet Building in Tokyo. The missionhad been planned for a year, and Mishimahad even arranged for reporters to be inthe vicinity when they took hostages, justbefore lunchtime. His manifesto, which heread from the balcony, demanded the ren¬unciation of a clause in a post WWII consti¬tution that limited the capabilities of theNational Army, and the complete restora¬tion of the emperor's authority. The policehelicopters circling the building, the con¬fused bystanders below and the sense offutility cut his speech short.He went back inside to his soldiers. Thistoo he had planned for a year. He pusheda short sword into his stomach and acrosshis abdomen. One of the soldiers behead¬ed him. Another, like Mishima, committedseppuku. The hostages were released.His final desperate attempt to prove apure existence led him to despair and sui¬cide. Since his childhood, he had changedvery little. Certainly the amazing product¬ion of forty novels, twenty collections ofshort stories and twenty volumes of liter¬ary essays, all written in just 25 years, im¬proved his abilities as a writer. But whilehis statement was refined it rarelychanged. In a daze, he saw Tokyo burningand destroyed. He never could removethat feeling of numbness. His death wasthe fulfillment of a lifetime of longing.GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1985—5OF THEPACKby Michael KotzeChicago recently heard Schubert’s song cycleWinterreise twice in little over two weeks, pertormedby two Internationally renowned baritones, familiarand reliable veterans of the recital and the operaticstage, both noted tor their performances ofWinterreise In recital and on records. The latter of thetwo concerts was vivid, perceptive, and very moving,an ideal ol its kind, while the earlier performance was amockery: colorless and false, it was an absofute non*event. Both singers, however, were received rap¬turously by the Chicago audience. So what happened?Was one audience radically more discerning than theother? Probably not — it wouldn’t be too surprising tofind that many members of these audiences were pre¬sent at both recitals. A more likely answer is that mostmodern audience members just do not know what tolook for in the art song; in fight of this audience’smistaken criteria, its enthusiasm for such a deficientperformance seems perfectly understandable.It comes down to this: most audiences seem Insuffi¬ciently attuned to the poetic and dramatic aspects ofthe art song — much more important to them is vocaltechnique and beauty of tone. So when a singer tikethe Swedish baritone Haken Hagegard gives the sortof performance he gave at Ravinia three weeks ago,gorgeously sung but utterly lacking in emotional con¬tent, this audience likes what it hears — they aresuckers for a pretty voice.Now, a pretty voice is not going to hurt you when yousing Schubert songs, but if that is aH you’ve got, youmight as well pack up and go home because there isnot going to be a performance. The fled, particutarty inthe hands of Schubert, its greatest exponent, is an In¬credibly complex and subtle musical form, making thegreatest demands upon those who choose to performit. A tied includes subtle mood pieces, nature studies,dramatic narrative, and even dialogues (in fact, in oneof Schubert’s most famous songs. Ertkonig, the singeris called upon to sing as four different characters in thespace of a three minute song!). As far as sheer vocaiacting is concerned, it is even more difficult thanopera, for in the tied the singer and pianist must con¬jure up scenery, make-up, props, and costumes en¬tirely through the power and imagination of theirsinging and playing. Technical prowess is demanded,but alone it is not enough; effective performances oftieder depend on enormous interpretive skill. This isnot a challenge to be taken lightly.This is especially true in the case of Schubert’sWirtterreise (Winter Journey), twenty-four songs whichtrace the emotional state of a man jilted in love, bitterlysetting out from the village of his faithless sweetheart,and along the way losing his hope, his will to live, andultimately his sanity. The songs, making up a sort offirst-person narrative, range from explanations of thebackground events to descriptions of the journey andthe weather to expressions of the narrator’s emotions,including both bitter candor and crazed self-delusion.The challenge of a cycle like Wirtterreise is to tell astory, to make the audience understand the characterof the man singing these songs; in the hands of alesser interpreter, these twenty-four vignettes may notseem to add up to anything. An uncommitted per¬formance can make Wirtterreise seem to be just abunch of songs; a great one can make it a shatteringdramatic experience.Hagegard’s Ravinia performance offered smooth,rich singing (a friend of mine calls him “Haken HaagenDazs ’ — the name fits); here was seemingly perfectvocal technique. The sound was focused and in tune atwhatever volume Hagegard chose to deploy it — aremarkable performance, but of little more conse¬quence than a circus stunt, since none of the poetry'smeaning was conveyed. The words could have meantanything, the way they were sung here — these, thewords that inspired Schubert to write the songs in thefirst place! So despite the pretty voice, there really wasThe shameful state that Lieder-singing is inask the Shangri-Las The contemporary chamber ensemble Transit,conducted by Mark Prentiss, will performGustave Mahler’s Fourth Symphony In G-Majorfrom Mr. Prentiss’ reconstruction of ErwinStein’s 1921 transcription. The occasion is ofspecial historical interest since it will be thefirst time Stein’s adaptation has been playedsince 1921. Mahler’s Fourth will be followed bycomposer Tobias Picker’s Nova (1979), a ten-minute composition for piano, with Mr. Pickeron piano accompanied by violin, viola, cello, andbass (no conductor). This will be a rare op¬portunity to see a modern composer of con¬siderable stature performing his own works. Theconcert will take place in Goodspeed Hall, Sun¬day October 19.at 8:00 PM; $8 general admission,$4 student admission.by Judith SilversteinOne day during their early courtship, GustavMahler played a bit of his new Fourth Symphonyto Alma Maria Schindler and asked her how sheliked it. “I feel Haydn has done better,” shesaid. This remark was typical of the initially coolcritical reception of the piece which causedMahler to call it his ‘‘persecuted stepchild.” AsMahler promised she would, Alma Mahler even¬tually changed her mind, as did most critics.The history of the manuscript transcriptions ofthis piece of music is a story of the persistentlosses, findings, and reinterpretations of culturein history. Haunted by its initial critical failure,Mahler revised the Fourth Symphony nearlyevery time he conducted its performance. Afterthe last performance he conducted, in 1905, hegave a copy of the score with final revisions toArnold Schoenberg, who put it in his library. Tenno performance of Winterreise. The audience didn'tseem to notice anything missing, however — an enor¬mous ovation followed the show. If //ecter-slnging wasonly beautiful vocal production, Hagegard would havedeserved every bit of applause he got, and then some— but sorry, Haken, it just isn’t good enough. A lot ofpeople apparently do not feel this way, and clearly ap¬proved of this performance — whether this was due toa non-comprehension of German, a distaste forRomantic poetry, or a high value on technical perfec¬tion, one cannot say. What can be said is that the au¬dience got what it wanted, but Schubert did not, ex¬cept perhaps from the excellent pianist ThomasSchuback, whose clean-lined and rhythmically sen¬sitive playing lent the evening whatever atmosphere ithad.Happily, Schubert got his due two weeks later at Or¬chestra Hall, when German baritone Hermann Preypresented his Winterreise — it was at this concert thatthe possibilities of the tied were triumphantlydisplayed. The key to Prey's performance was itsremarkable specificity; his protagonist was a vivid andrecognizable character; In the course of the twenty-four songs we really found out who this guy was. Theemotional development (or rather disintegration) ofthis character was charted with tremendous clarity,without a single moment of falseness or generalizedemotion. It was this depth and subttety that madePrey’s a great performance; given the great variety ofnuance on display, it wouldn’t be surprising to find thatthe most sensitive listeners could tell what Prey’sdoomed wanderer ate for breakfast.Prey's singing, if without the diamond-hard perfec¬tion of Hagegard’s, was very fine. He may have beeninclined to go flat on the highest and lowest notes ofthe first few songs, but this was a small price to pay inexchange for the full, warm, seasoned voice he wasable to provide, the voice of experience, as it were.The wide array of the tone colors at his disposal madepossible some very Interesting interpretive choices;particularly interesting was his decision to sing Mut,the third-to last song, full of self deluded ubermenschbravado, and ustiahy done In a loud and macho style,rather as a kind of manic whisper, which workedperfe .tly. In the traditional manner, this song can oftensee a to indicate that the protagonist has finally learn¬ed to lighten up a tittle, making the final tragic songsincomprehensfbte; in Prey's performance, the songwas a clear indication that he had lost all touch withreality, and that the final tragedy was Inevitable.Throughout the performance, Prey made choices tikeOils, steering us away from the familiar, revealing andIlluminating the poetic meanings of Winterreise. Sup¬porting him every step of file way was his accompanistLeonard Hokanson, who took interpretive chances thatpaid off as richly as Prey‘c ms fumpy rendition of thedescending eighth-note hgure In Die Post, for exam¬ple, brilliantly illustrated a horse-drawn mail coachmaking its way over bumpy ? irat roads; coming afterthe out-of-time introspection of {he preceding song,Hokanson’s rendition of the prelude to Die Post drop¬ped us with a thud back into the realities of eighteenthcentury life — an astonishing effect. These two artistsshowed us what the tied can do.So perhaps there is hope tor the audience that is sodrunk on beautiful sounds that they ignore the deeperundercurrents which are the real crux of the lied: ifthey hear enough performances by artists like Prey,who combine vocal beauty with an ability to conveypoetic understanding, they just could be seduced intoexploring the more rewarding facets of. the songliterature, allowing singers like Hagegard to retire fromconcert life and devote themselves to teaching vocaltechnique to students who may be able to use it togreater effect. This may sound rather utopian, but theprocess has already begun — one concert by HermannPrey Is enough to start raising standards. years after Mahler’s death the Schoenberg cir¬cle was in full swing in Vienna. An offshoot of theSchoenberg circle, The Society for PrivateMusical Performances, was engaged in the ar¬rangement of large works for chamber or¬chestra. In 1920, while Schoenberg was in Holland, Erwin Stein workeiof Mahler’s Fourth for charmuch painstaking work, nmusicians, and severalformances, Stein arrived asatisfactory score.

The main so'ngs are in¬terspersed with noise bits and spokenword monologues. These are sometimessloppy, but interesting and innovative aswell.

Thus, you feel, their pain,and this is art. rather than sophomoric dri¬vel. Therg are some problems with thisalbum.

Using photocopies provided by the ArnoldSchoenberg Institute at the University ofSouthern California, Mark Prentissreconstructed Stein’s score for performance byTransit for flute, oboe, clarinet, solo fiddle, twoviolins, viola, cello, bass, piano, harmonium —the sounds of which will be duplicated by syn¬thesizer, and soprano.)For those who think of Mahler’s work as in¬variably large-scale, ponderous, and meander¬ing, the idea of adapting it for chamber ensem¬ble may seem a bit strange. But the Fourth Sym¬phony is perhaps Mahler’s most economical,classically structured piece, and though it wasindeed written for a large orchestra, it containsmany solos. It may have been this unusuallightness and economy that prompted AlmaMahler to compare it to Haydn. While thesequalities render it relatively accessible, it retainsMahler’s characteristic sensitivity of expressionand explores many themes repeated in otherworks. Thus, it is an appropriate introduction toMahler’s work. As the last of the Wunderhornsymphonies, it is portrayed in standard criticallore as a bridge between Mahler’s early ap¬proaches to nature and later, more philosophicalapproaches, containing elements of both.Tobias Picker’s Nova is too young to havesuch an imposing history, having been compos¬ed in 1979. Mr. Picker studied under Elliot Carterat Julliard and Milton Babbitt at Princeton, andhas had work commissioned by the City of NewYork, the San Francisco Symphony, and NewYork Speculum Musicae (a group very similar toTransit). Mr. Prentiss describes Mr. Picker’sword as ‘^unforced, lyrically expressive music,written using the 12-tone scale.”HIGHSPIRITFLOWThe law was never passedBut somehow aJf men feel that they are truly treeat last.Have we really gone this far through space andtime,Or is this a vision in my mind?Stevie Wonder, tnnervisionsby Carole ByrdFreedom. Romantically, the poets prophesiedthat freedom comes through the discovery and cre¬ation of art, but over and over again what we dis¬cover in their prophecy is the uselessness of words.Poetry viciously encircles us, entraps us, and closesthe door to understanding. But the liberating forceof the dance and music still holds some hope forthose of us who have been locked out by words, andfor those who have been locked up by chains. Thedance in tune with natural rhythms, wordlesslytranscends linguistic and historical barriers, and inits most ecstatic moments, tears away the socialand prejudicial barriers of humankind, in ecstasy,the dance reveals our spiritual freedom.It was the search for this freedom and a means toexpress it that inspired Alfred Baker to begin theWest Indian Jamaican Folk Dance Company. Bakerstarted dancing at six, and his personal techniqueis extremely stylized, reflecting a lifetime of in¬teraction with the dance and much of that timespent with traditional ballet. In 1968, Alfred Bakerreturned to his homeland, Montego Bay Jamaica,after having toured the world training and per¬forming in various ballet troupes, particularly atroupe led by Jamaican born Asking, whom Bakerconsiders to be the finest ballerina to come out ofJamaica. On his return, he discovered that dance inJamaica—-folk dance—had disappeared almost en¬tirely as an art form, and more importantly, as aform of ritual. So within that same year, he found¬ed along with Faye Lawrence the School for Cre¬ative Dance and Music. Three years later he beganthe performance troupe, The West Indian JamaicanFolk Dance Company, out of his work with theschool, and the company has been in residence ledby Baker here in Chicago lor the past 8 years.The dance that Baker emphasizes in the perfor¬mances is Burru. Burru originates primarily in theAfrican Kumina, also known as Pokomania in Ja¬maica Describing the dance for the American audi¬ence. Baker says that it's kind of like the Tango, aJamaican square dance, and the Samba, ail roiledmto one. It steps to a 4/4 alternating 3/4 variatlng rhythm that dates back to the 15th century, theplantation period in Jamaican hletory. The move¬ment and the music reflect an age of brutality, anecho of slave chants and talking drums—the onlyforms of communication among powerless peoplesin a world of agriculturally powerful monsters. In1962, Jamaica experienced a revival of interest inKumina, both religiously and artistically, butBaker insists that the actual motivation behind allof the Island's musical retrievals since around1945, including Mento, Burru, Calypso, Ska, RockSteady and Reggae, was the spiritual power of theKumina beating forth a steady message of libera¬tion.One of the reasons that Alfred Baker chose thedances that he teaches to the Company was fortheir political and revolutionary Impact on history.“When I went back to Jamaica,” he says, “Burruwas out because people wanted to forget aboutracism. They wanted to forget that it still exists.”Burru, like most Afro-Caribbean folk dance bornout of slavery and continued through oppressivewestern rule, is a spiritual dance. As a ritual, itsfocus is worship. Spiritual movements that concen¬trate on the body/mind connection and thebody/soul connection, put the body in motion, putthe mind in a trance and free up the spirit. It is aliberating experience that carries with it both spiri¬tual (beyond good and evil) and physical heaiingpowers. Even though, since the birth of the chorus inGreek tragedy, the western world has always un¬derstood the intricate connection that music anddance have with religious ritual, very often thepopular reaction to African ritual is forgetful, andcompletely misconstrues this connection. “To theAmerican audience,” says Baker, “the Burru canlook like some kind of epilepsy.” Which is not per¬haps so far fetched, he continues, because thedancer is in a trance-like state. The more commonmistake is to assume that the dance is not ritual butsexual. The Burru is not a mating dance; it empha¬sizes physical movement to free up the movementof the spirit.The company dances primarily to traditionaldrum music but they are beginning to pattern thedances to some modern and Reggae tunes. Bakerstresses that the right sound is very important.“I’m a very demanding director,” he says, “but iam also very successful. I demand discipline. I de¬mand that the dancer demonstrate more, expressthe sell more with energy and sophistication. But Idemand this with sound.” Baker describes his meth¬od as teaching with sounds that come Irom the in¬side. It is sounds that create a dance, he says, andsounds that create discipline and the stronger influ¬ence to heal. King Alfred Baker is the only memberof the company to have experienced a thoroughclassical dance education, although he does contin¬ue to use these techniques in his instruction to thegroup. Their style as he describes it lies somewherebetween Asking’s Ballet, Holder’s Calypso, andRex Linkerford’s modem in the National DanceTheatre Company. Baker has performed in 30 coun¬tries and has called both the Untied States and theU.S.S.R. his home at various points in time. He haswon an innumerable number of dance contests andperformed for international royalty including Prin¬cess Margaret and the late Indira Ghandi. Perhapshis most interesting claim to fame, from the point olview of his fellow folk dancers, is his 1958 title, theKing of Limbo, which he still holds at six inches fromthe ground.The Company itself varies between 17 to 20members strong, dancers, drummers, and percus¬sionists, mainly from Jamaica and the Chicago area.Baker says that the group has had its ups anddowns in Chicago. The city has not always been soreceptive to dance, and often, even iess receptiveto the strugie against oppression. But Baker saysthat the feeling now in the city is good, and thatinterest in the arts, particularly dance, is on therise. Tonight, the West Indian Jamaican Folk DanceCompany will perform at 8 p.m. at the InternationalHouse of Chicago. Tickets are $8.00 at the door andthe performance will be two hours with a brief in¬termission where refreshments will be served TheCompany's main attraction as an entertainmentgroup has been the Limbo, but regardless ofwhether the dance is Limbo or Burru, the energy isalways high...and the spirit flows...Karen HaywoodGREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1985—7* No Minimum to Open• Student Budget Account.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1986— GREY CITY JOURNALWETHERBY: HUH?by Bob TravisWetherby (David Hare, 1985) Britain. 102min. Color. Cast: Vanessa Reograve, IanHolm, Tim Mclnnery. Cinematographer:Stuart Harris.The film opens in black, two actors talkand laugh about the inept social skills ofRichard Nixon. After Pat jilted him, Nixonbegged to be her chauffeur and once wait¬ed in a car while she and her date enjoyedthemselves in a theatre. One actor con¬cludes, the camera now looking over hershoulder: “What does that tell you ofNixon?” The other counters: “What doesthat tell you about Pat?” With that we areintroduced to Jean Travers (Vanessa Red¬grave), a high school English teacher, andStanley (Ian Holm), her confidant — twoold friends who share life’s consequenceswith a curious detachment.Jean later invites her closest friendsover for dinner — all come, plus one unin¬vited stranger (Tim Mclnnery), who laterturns out to be a 25 year old graduate stu¬dent at the University of Essex. Everyoneacts as if the stranger were known tosomeone else — so no one questions his im¬personation of a significant other. Oneguest argues with another: “Logic tells uswe should not say exactly what we feeland if we did the results would be danger¬ous.” We are left with the thought: Dan¬gerous to whom? Another guest enigmati¬cally lets out: “If you want to be loved inlife, it’s no used having opinions.” Here wediscover one of the chief faults of the film:the screenwriter (David Hare) tends to in¬troduce points before they can attain theirtrue significance.After dinner ends, the guests leave, butthe stranger returns the next morning andkills himself before Jean. Friends and offi¬cials alike debate the issue: “Why did hedo it?” The reply: “Depressed, I suppose.”“But why did he do it here?” The stage isset for a possible resolution, but a lengthyseries of flashbacks to Jean’s youth fol¬low, when she fell in love with a soldierwho went off to war and died a bizarredeath.We next witness the inquisition, thenJean’s shock of recognition and her ownimpersonation. She enigmatically repliesto the inspector’s query of the stranger’s motive for killing himself at her cottage:“I think the lonely recognize the lonely.”Later we learn (after innumerable flash¬backs to Jean’s younger self and to the in¬teractions of the stranger with otherguests and his University “girlfriend”)that the stranger approached Jean, up¬stairs in an isolated room, with: “I knowthat you’re in trouble just like me. You area fake: you fake all that cheerfulness. Youare coming with me.” We now realize, justas Jean’s friends do, that she is also on theedge; and they embrace her. The film endswith Jean and Stanley meeting in a crowd¬ed restaurant, toasting each other: “To allour escapes.”Wetherby possesses the hard edge ofphilosophical discourse, but, because thedirector chose to mix a jagged series ofDear Editor:I enjoy the GCJ and the often innovativework it publishes. However, I read the ar¬ticle Coming Out: Five Stories (GCJ,10/11/85) with a growing sense of annoy¬ance. If it is necessary to print articles onhomosexuality I would appreciate it if youcould print ones that show some aware¬ness of the current literature on the sub¬ject, and of the often high degree of analy¬sis in that literature. Coming Outpresented too simple a view of a difficultproblem.It is somehow inconceivable to have anarticle on coming out as a gay man withoutmentioning that coming out is in many re¬spects a political process rather than apsychological process. To identify yourselfwith the gay community is to say that youaccept the constraints and norms of thatcommunity. Those norms can be very re¬strictive, especially now when the nation¬al gay groups—like the rest of the na- flashbacks with the complex subject ofalienation and suicide, many of the lyrioaland terse commentaries are renderedvapid. Also, some of the flashbacks are in¬consequential — merly translating intoiconic form what was previously implied inverbal communication. Moreover, there isno economy to the action: that is, the emo¬tional denouement, the search for whythe stranger committed suicide, comeshalfway through the film. Yet the intellec¬tual denouement, of Jean’s search forresolution of the deaths ot her lover andthe stranger, lags far behinds and ap¬pears anticlimatic.As regards the language of imperson¬ation, Hare employs circumlocution. For in¬stance, we learn from the stranger’s “girl¬friend” that he invariably impersonated ation—are swinging to the right. To comeout is to proclaim yourself to be exclusive¬ly homosexual, and it is to accept the logi¬cal ends that follow from that statement.It is possible to be gay without ever hav¬ing had a sexual experience.Gore Vidal is infamous for saying thatthere are no homosexuals, only homosex¬ual acts. There are many people who havesex with members of the same sex, butthey are not gay. They are simply sexualbeings, the independents in a world divid¬ed between gays and straights. The legiti¬macy of the fluidity of their sexual drivecannot be denied, nor can the political im¬plications of what they do. By withdraw¬ing from the gay subculture they lose po¬litical identity, but they also achieve afulfillment in their own lives as sexualbeings. To be gay is too restrictive for toomany people.Many of my friends have such fluid sex¬ualities. It is comforting because in many pacifist (after seeing Ghandi), a serious stu¬dent, and her “lover”. In an angry fit thestranger shakes his “girlfriend”, saying:“I want some feeling. I want some contact.I want you near me.” Yet the strangeronly knows how to invade and to destroy,and in that regard he impersonates noone. At the dinner the stranger leaves uswith his own assessment of his condition:“I only know goodness and anger, and re¬venge and evil and desire. These seem tobe better words than neurosis, psycholo¬gy, and conviction. We bury our feelings inthe modern age.” However true, Weth¬erby seems to convey the message that al¬though the language of impersonationcourses through modern society, curiosityfused with education alters its conse¬quence.ways it is more human; it centers aroundindividuals rather than genitalia. But tochoose this synthesis between gay andstraight is difficult because both groupsdeny the legitimacy of what my friendsdo. It is increasingly apparent that gaysdo not wish -to create new ideas of sexuali¬ty, but rather reaffirm definitions basedon exclusionary same-sex practices. Bycreating and perpetuating such rigid defi¬nitions, they become the same as theworld they consider oppressive.The article Coming Out is about men whohave chosen to align themselves with thegay group. In that way it was an articleabout political choice. I read nothing aboutdesire in the article; I read nothing aboutsexuality. There are many men who arenot gay on this campus who desire othermen. The question of what are they to do,how to deal with a sexuality that we canrealize changes through time, is a pressingproblem for those who are predominantlyhomosexual. But please, no more articlesthat cannot distinguish desire from poli¬tics.Sincerely,Joseph SmalleySome of the mostExcitingInstrumental musicisright here inHyde ParkThe critically acclaimedTHECHICAGOENSEMBLEAnnounces anintroductory offer for students$5 with this ad(pre-concert talk included)Tuesday Oct. 22 - 8:00 PMMandel HallBach: Cantata Arias for Soprano, Flute, Violin, Celloand PianoBen Weber: Sonata da Camera for Violin and Piano (1950)Haydn: Trio in D Major for Flute, Cello and PianoSchumann: Trio No. 2 in F Major for Violin, Cello andPiano, op. 80 Oasis of Peacemj i»a—NEVE SHALOM WAHAT AL-SALAMTHE CENTER FOR MIDDLE EASTERN STUDIES & AMERICAN FRIENDS OF NEVE SHALOMThe University of Chicago (An Arab-Jewish CooperativeVillage & School for Peace)present a panel discussionentitledTOWARDS ARAB-JEWISH CO-EXISTENCE IN ISRAELfeaturingDr. SHROUKI ABEDDr. HARRIET ARNONEMs. ARIELA BAIREYProfessor DAVID MATZMr. JOSEPH MONTVILLEMr. IYAS SHBATA (Visiting Professor at Hebrew University)(Center for Middle East Peace &Development)(Neve Shalom School for Peace)(University of Massachusetts)(Program Director, Institute for theStudy of Foreign Affairs, U.

Today, in 1985, campuses across thenation are speaking out against the injus¬tices of the South African apartheid re¬gime. In the city of Chicago alone, the Uni¬versity of Illinois, Northwestern, andRoosevelt are all gathering in protestagainst South Africa and those universi¬ties’ involvement there.On behalf of the Action Committee for aFree South Africa, the Black GraduateForum, the Organization of Black Stu¬dents, and the Third World PoliticalForum, I welcome you to this rally today.We salute the six students who haveheld a hunger strike for the last two tothree days, to protest the University ofChicago’s involvement in apartheid andfalse and misleading statements by theadministration about its investment poli¬cy: Myer Blank, James Hill, Vinay Lai,Sunrit Mullick, Sahotra Sarkar, Eric War-shaw — thank you.We are here to demand an end to racismat home and abroad, starting with totaldivestment of the University’s holdingsfrom banks and corporations that do busi¬ness in South Africa.The University of Chicago has over $133million invested in companies that do busi¬ness in South Africa. We will not toleratethis support for the apartheid system.In recent weeks it has become apparentthat the University’s investment policy, asstated by President Gray, is for public con¬sumption only; they will invest whereverthey want to. They talk about the SullivanPrinciples, but invest in corporationswhich refuse to sign them or don’t meettheir requirements. They talk about eva¬luating the performances of corporationsbut -invest in corporations which refuse to give the evaluators any information.We’re tired of the administration’s dou¬bletalk. We want to talk to the people whomake the decisions. We call on the Boardof Trustees to open their next meeting to agroup of students and faculty so that wecan formally present our demand for in¬vestment. We call on the Trustees to initi¬ate a study on the issue of the University’sinvestments in South Africa, and to reportpublicly on this study — not at some indefi¬nite time, but by Winter Quarter, 1986.Furthermore, the University must take amore active role in fighting racism in itsown community: we demand an end to po¬lice harrassment of Black and third worldstudents on this campus and in the sur¬rounding area. We insist that the adminis¬tration put together a report on this issue,and that this report be made public, sothat the entire community can better eval¬uate the causes of this problem, and par¬ticipate in putting an end to it.We demand more active recruitment ofBlack and Hispanic students on ihe part ofthis University, as well as hiring of moreBlack and third world faculty.We demand the creation of a minoritystudent support system, through a studentcenter and staff persons specifically de¬voted to dealing with the concerns of mi¬nority students.We demand the institution of an Afro-American studies program, and requestthat its development be based on thedirect input and concerns of Black studentson this campus.And finally, we demand that the Univer¬sity officially declare January 15, MartinLuther King Day, a University holiday.The anti-apartheid movement on thiscampus is part of a national and interna¬tional movement in support of the peopleof South Africa. With our brothers and sis¬ters across this nation, we condemn theReagan’s administration’s policy of con¬structive engagement. Like the Universi¬ty’s so-called responsible investments,Reagan's sanctions are a sham.We call for active support for the libera¬tion movement in southern Africa.We call for freedom for all Namibian andSouth African political prisoners.And finally, in solidarity with the peopleof South Africa, we call for one person/onevote in a unitary South Africa. by Sahotra SarkarOn behalf of the Action Committee for aFree South Africa, the Black GraduateForum, the Organization of Black Studentsand the Third World Political Forum, I onceagain welcome you to this rally to expresssolidarity with the political prisoners inSouthern Africa and to demand that thisUniversity divest itself of all its holdingsin banks and corporations that do businessin South Africa.Fourteen years ago, on this day, theUnited Nations declared October 11th asSouth African Political Prisoners’ day.Today there are thousands of comradeswho languish in apartheid’s jails in SouthAfrica and Namibia. These are men andwomen who have committed no crime thanto demand freedom from an oppressive,racist system that denies people freedom,political rights and opportunity simply be¬cause of the color of their skin. In a land ofplenty, South African blacks are forced bylaw to eke out a miserable existence with¬out the freedom and dignity that is thebirthright of every human being. Racismexists elsewhere too but in South Africaalone is it enshrined in the constitution ofthe nation. And when the people rebelagainst such oppression they are beaten,jailed, tortured and killed. During the lastyear more South Africans have beenjailed for political reasons than ever be¬fore. Today, more so than ever, we needto express our solidarity with those pris¬oners. We are assembled here for thatpurpose as are thousands throughout theworld. Together we are sending a mes¬sage to our comrades in apartheid’s jails:that we are with them. And we are alsosending a message to the racists in Pre¬toria: their days are numbered.Inside this University we must end ourinstitution's collaboration with apartheid.This University has over a hundred milliondollars invested in corporations that dobusiness in South Africa. Some of these in¬vestments are in corporations like Exxonand Mobil which supply oil to the South Af¬rican military and police and are requiredby South African law to continue doing so.Others such as IBM and Control Data sup¬ply fhe apartheid regime with the com¬puters they need to monitor the move¬ments of blacks, and have helped SouthAfrica develop its own arms industry. It isobvious that these companies are directlyinvolved in the maintenance of apartheid.Yet the University continues to invest in them and, consequently, the University it¬self stands indicted as a partner in aparth¬eid. We, as members of this Universitycommunity, refuse to accept such a role forthis University. We demand that this Uni¬versity immediately divest. Over the lastyear we have held rallies and circulated apetition to demand divestment. Our peti¬tion was signed by almost three thousandindividuals. The University has respondedby saying that it only invests in those cor¬porations that abide by the Sullivan Prin¬ciples. We have discovered that even thisis not true. The University continues to in¬vest in companies which, according to thesame independent monitors on which theUniversity ostensibly relies, have not com¬plied with the Sullivan Principles. In otherwords the University has provided thecommunity with false and misleading in¬formation. To protest such double-dealing,which only damages the University’s in¬tegrity, some of us have gone on a three-day hunger strike.We deplore the University’s dishonestybut, more important than that, we rejectthe Sullivan Principles. We refuse to haveany dealings with apartheid. The SullivanPrinciples leave the basic structure ofapartheid untouched: they do nothing toprovide political rights for South Africanblacks, ana white control of the land andits mineral wealth nor to end the hatedpass laws and other restrictions that regu¬late the movement of blacks. The SullivanPrinciples are an apology for apartheid.Black workers and black unions in SouthAfrica have repeatedly rejected the Sulli¬van Principles, and, like them, we rejectthe Sullivan Principles too. We demandcomplete and total divestment. The Uni¬versity must appoint a committee to ex¬plore the best strategy for rapid divest¬ment. As students we must haverepresentation on that committee. If theUniversity reufses to divest we will haveno option other than to step up our strug¬gle. And our patience is running out.Today we will demonstrate our repug¬nance for apartheid by burning copies ofthe hated pass-books that are used tomaintain control of the movement ofblacks in South Africa. I want every singleindividual present here to demonstratehis or her solidarity with the liberationstruggles in Southern Africa by burning acopy of the pass book. And remember, asyou do so, that for a crime as minor as this,thousands of South Africans have spentyears in jail.

RuthEngs, an Indiana University pro¬fessor who has studied studentdrinking habits nationwide, says,“If students can’t drink in barsand frats then they will...drinkunder a tree.” Yet, to the dismayof college drinkers across thecountry, a vast number of collegeofficials have moved to imposestiffer regulations regarding un¬derage drinking on campus.• At Indiana, the Dean of Stu¬dents makes surprise visits tocampus parties to find underageddrinkers and enforce a newcampus keg policy. (Can you justsee Herman cruisin’ Hyde Parkbashes?)• Yale now effectively prohib¬its alcohol at many campusevents and issues students“drinking cards” to help enforcethe new rules.• Local police broke up tradi¬tional school-opening parties atWest Virginia and Western Mi¬chigan, arresting some 42 stu¬dents the first week of classes atWest Virginia.• Pittsburgh police havewarned student groups they willdrop into University of Pitts¬burgh parties unannounced to en¬force new drinking age laws.In addition, Boston University,Southern Cal, Berkeley, PennState, San Diego State, Kentuckyand Arizona, among scores ofother campuses, have adoptedstricter rules for student drinkingthis fall.

The author, MargaretAnne Rose, served as rush cap¬tain for Zeta Tau Alpha while atthe University of Texas in 1982.However, of more concern tothe 30 US national sororities areaccusations of racism aimed atgroups that resist segregatingtheir organizations to gain offi¬cial college recognition and privi¬leges. “There’s discriminationagainst Jews, Catholics andothers,” she says. “It is not inher¬ent discrimination, but it doesn’tdo much for the sorority image asa whole.”Body Passing Will Get You TenBody Passing...it is a goodtime. Well then again, maybe youshould ask those lucky Marooncheerleaders who found them¬selves being passed up and downthe grandstands at last Satur¬day’s home football game.

In their sec¬ond game of the weekend, the Chicago fieldhockey team put in one of their worst effortsof the season against a mediocre team fromthe University of Wisconsin, Platteville.The game against Steven’s Point startedout well. The first half was scoreless. TheChicago defense played a rough game andthe offense placed pressure on Steven’sPoint. The powerful team from Wisconsinwas unable to control the tempo of thegame, as they have done in their previoustwo outings against Chicago where theybeat the Maroons 8-0 and 7-0. This was agame of attrition in which Steven’s Pointwon 2-0.Gradually, Steven’s Point began to weardown the Chicago field hockey team. At 4:26into the second half Steven’s Point scoredthe first of their two goals. The defense didnot break down, but a lapse in concentrationwas the main culprit accounting for the Ste¬ven’s Point goals. Both of their goals camefrom crossing passes to open players in thecircle.Coach Whitehead was “pleased with thegame”. She went on to say, “We played ourbest game of the season against our best op¬ ponent, but we played our worst against aweak team”.Just by glancing at the statistics, it wouldseem that Chicago demolished the Universi¬ty of Wisconsin, Platteville. They outshotPlatteviile 56-25. Chicago had 22 penaltycorners to 11 for Platteville. For most of thegame, Chicago was attacking the Platte¬ville goal. However, as the game’s finalwhistle sounded, Platteville had beaten Chi¬cago 2-1.Chicago was on the attack for most of thegame, but they just did not have the inten¬sity to put the ball in the goal. As Coach Whi¬tehead pointed out, “Our offense was dis¬jointed. It seemed that only one player wasattacking the goal at a time”.The offense was persistent in maintainingthe pressure. They got off the first shot, butno one on the Chicago offense seized the ini¬tiative to follow the shot and sustain the at¬tack. Since most goals are scored on re¬bounded shots, Chicago let a multitude ofscoring opportunities pass through theirfingers.Chicago’s lone goal came in the secondhalf. Left-winger, Kerry Begley’s shot hitthe post, and Kathy McGarvey picked upthe rebound and put it in for a score.The two losses lower the field hockeyteam’s record to 2-6 for this season. Theyneed to win their final four games just to fin¬ish at .500 in their final season. Two of thosegames are this weekend as the team travelsto Lake Forest to play Grinnell, the onlyteam to beat Steven’s Point this season, andIowa Weslyan.

These losses put the Maroons at 1-3in the conference, effectively taking themout of title contention. Their record for theseason stands at 3-9, which is disappointingfor a team whose talent has at least equaledthat of most of the teams it has faced thusfar.The Maroons lost a close, tough matchagainst Beloit on Tuesday night. Chicagotook the first game with a close 15-13 score,but Beloit came back to take the next two10-15, 12-15. Refusing to die, the Maroonstied up the match with another 15-13 victory.At this point, Chicago should have put thematch on ice, but according to Wendy Par-shall, “we didn’t have the desire to come outon top.” Beloit won the last game 8-15. Thismatch should have been in the win columnfor Chicago. Says co-captain Lynn Bircsak,“we should have beaten them.”In a match which, according to Bircsak,“could have gone either way”, Chicago lostto Wheaton 13-15, 13-15,12-15. Though Whea¬ton won in three games the match wascloser than the outcome indicates. Bothteams juggled the lead, but Wheaton tookthe game each time. Once again, theMaroons showed a general lack of intensity.Says Bircsak, “we certainly shouldn’t havelost in three games.”Things seemed to be going well for theMaroons on Friday as they jumped out to a2-0 (15-8, 15-10) lead against Ripon College.Then the spark went out and the Maroons, toquote a reliable source “went belly up.”Chicago lost the final three games with thedismal scores of 7-15, 4-15, 3-15. Said Par-shall, “we need the killer instinct. We getahead and we get timid and afraid of mak¬ing mistakes.” According to Birscak, “wehad an all-around lack of desire. No onewanted it bad enough.”Nothing more can be said than the fact that Chicago has been the victim of its ownundoing. What remains now is for the teamto pick up the pieces and get ready for thedivisional tournament. In the Midwest Con¬ference, a volleyball team can qualify forthe conference tournament in one of twoways, either by winning its conference or bywinning the divisional tournament. At thispoint, Chicago doesn’t have much choice inthe matter. They have to win that tourna¬ment and in doing so, defeat those teamsthat have already beaten them. No easytask, but it’s certainly not an unrealisticone. According to Parshall, “no one has out¬classed us. We can come back and beat any-After beginning a two-game trip to Wis¬consin with another poorly played 2-0 loss toLawrence, the Maroons finally pulled theirskills together in a brilliantly contested 1-1tie against St. Norbert College.As St. Louis-bred goalkeeper Joe Marioput it, “not only was I upset about the waywe played at Lawrence, but I also missedseeing the Cardinals win 4-2.” Perhaps therest of the team was distracted by thoughtsof post-season baseball as well, because ex¬cept for a decent passing attack in the firsthalf hour of the game, the Maroons playedwith the same sloppy inconsistency whichhad plagued them all season. They werenever in the game after Lawrence scored itsfirst goal.But something definitely happened be¬tween Saturday night and Sunday after¬noon. Maybe it was Coach Barry de Silva’spep talk at 9 am Sunday - or maybe it wasthe fact that the Cardinals were playing atnight and weren’t competing with theMaroons as they had the day before. What¬ever the factor was, it certainly had an ef¬fect on Chicago as the Maroons played theirbest game of the season. one of those teams.”This weekend’s tournament at CarthageCollege will undoubtedly be a good indica¬tion of how Chicago will fare in post seasonplay. Says Parshall, “we’ve talked aboutand analyzed our performance and now allof us just want to go out and win. We’ll see atCarthage whether we really do have it to¬gether.”POST SCRIPTIn what was undoubtedly the most excit¬ing game of the season, the Maroon Volley¬ball team showed that it has the right stuff.A few appropriate adjectives; scrappy,spectacular and very clutch. Although theChicago mounted its first sustained offen¬sive attack of the last several games, keep¬ing the St. Norbert defense on its heels untilwell into the 2nd half. There were repeatedcrosses from halfbacks Andy Brown andMitch Kapetan, a flurry of shots fromstrikers Dave Anievas and Jon Showell, andseveral hustling overlapping runs by full¬backs Alvin Marr and Dave Anderson.Meanwhile, sweeper John Culbertson ledthe U of C defense in repelling nearly everySt. Norbert attack almost instantly. Chica¬go was rewarded for its efforts whenShowell slipped a ball off two defenders andthe goalkeeper for a 1-0 lead.The Maroons came out defensively in thesecond half, and the control of the gamethen seesawed for that period and the twoovertime periods which ensued. TheMaroon defense sparkled, keeping Chicagoin the game. Mario treated the crowd of 200to a return to the goalkeeping form of hissophomore year, making well over 20 savesand skying to do away with several crosses.But perhaps more important was the ag¬gressive play of the Maroon fullbacks. Notonce did the defenders get beat for a goalplaying so roughly that they were issued Maroons ended up losing Tuesday’s matchagainst Carthage College 15-11, 14-16, 9-15,10-15, Chicago never let down for a minute.In the last game the team fought back froma 4-13 deficit to come within three points.That’s the way it was all evening with theMaroons fighting hard and coming up withone spectacular play after another.The simple fact is that Chicago was over¬powered by an experienced, tall, Wisconsin-bred Carthage team. But that doesn’t meanthey had it easy. The Maroons played agreat match and challenged their opponentsall the way. The desire was there and theintensity was there.three yellow cards.It was almost teasingly painful, therefore,for the Maroons to see their victory takenaway when the referee awarded St. Norberta penalty kick on what may or may not havebeen a foul in what may or may not havebeen the penalty area. Sophomore EddieLinn forced a St. Norbert attacker to theend-line and slide-tackled him in an attemptto clear the ball. Whether Linn tackled un¬cleanly was questionable, and if the ballwas in the penalty box, it most certainlywas on the line. In such instances, it is cus¬tomary for the referee to award a directkick outside the penalty area rather than apenalty kick, but in this case, a St. Norbertplayer successfully petitioned the referee tohave the penalty shot taken. The ball wentin off Mario’s outstretched hand, and al¬though the two teams fought viciously forthe rest of the second half and the two over¬time periods, the game ended tied 1-1.The tie, the Maroons’ third, left them at0-1-2 in the conference.
