INSIDE: FOTQCrusade of Mercy “What fashion means to me”page three page sevenThe Chicago MaroonVolume 97, No. 20 The University of Chicago ©Copyright 1985 Friday, November 15, 1985Nat'l budget cutsmay threaten aidMidwest students discuss apartheidBy Jim SchwartzWashington, DC (CPS) — Thelatest effort to balance the feder¬al budget could be the worst thingto happen to student aid this de¬cade, education lobbyists say.Both the House and Senate lastweek passed versions of a bill —called the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings bill — that would por¬tend deep cuts in federal studentfinancial aid through the rest ofthe 1980sA House-Senate conferencecommittee met this week to ironout differences between the twoversions of the bill, but both ver¬sions would slash student aidspending to try to balance the fed¬eral budget.“The entire education commu¬nity has opposed any version ofGramm-Rudman,” AmericanCouncil, on Education (ACE) lob¬byist Larry Zaglaniczany says.The bill calls for Congress tocut. the deficit 20 percent annuallyuntil the budget is balanced.But Congress would have tospare certain programs — SocialSecurity, the interest on the na¬tional debt and about 40 percentof the defense budget — in mak¬ing cuts. Education is not amongthe sacred cows. Zaglaniczanyexplains.The House has added programsto be spared, but not the studentaid programs, reports KathyOzer, legislative director for theUnited States Student Associa¬tion < USSA).“The more you pull off thetable, the larger the cuts will beon that which is left on the table,’’asserts legislative aide WilliamBlakey for Sen. Paul Simon (D-111), long a student aid propo¬nent.Ozer predicts some student aidprograms could be cut in half ifeither the House or the Senateversions of the bill passes. How¬ever, nobody is sure because thedepth of the cuts depend on thedeficit’s cuts. Predictions of thedeficit’s size have been greatlyunderestimated in recent years,Ozer observes.The Congressional Budget Of¬fice now believes the deficit willreach $220 billion this fiscal year,up from $40 billion in 1980, beforethe United States’ huge militarybuildup and the tax cuts of 1981.The House and Senate versionsof the Gramm-Rudman-Hollingsbill differ mostly in form. TheSenate version allows the presi¬dent to cut budget items at hisdiscretion if Congress cannotmake the 20 percent reduction asmandated by the bill. The Houseversion of the deficit bill has a re¬cession clause, which deactivatesthe budget cuts if the economyfalters, she adds.Educators and students areworried that giving PresidentReagan authority to cut the bud¬get himself would doom most fed¬eral student aid programs, whichthe president has sought to cutdramatically every year.But no one is really sure aboutthe balanced budget bill’s impactbecause Congress won’t have afinal list of which programs willbe spared the axe until the end ofthe month."Such uncertainty is the big¬ gest problem.’’ Zaglaniczanysays, who is unwilling to guessabout the ultimate impact.“Those who live by the crystalball end up eating the glass.”Some, in fact, don’t think stu¬dent aid will suffer much in anycase. “I don’t think you will seeany one program gutted. We arevery careful not to single out anyone program,” says Larry Neal,press secretary to Sen. PhilGramm (R-Tex). Neal doesthinkg congressional efforts toexempt programs from budgetcuts invariably jeopardize thosenot protected.The threat to federal studentaid programs — which includePell Grants, College Work-Study,Guaranteed Student Loans, StateStudent Incentive Grants and Na¬tional Direct Student Loans aswell as some specialized pro¬grams — follows three years ofcollege lobbyists’ efforts to fightback the Reagar administra¬tion’s repeated attempts to cutthem.After agreeing to dramatic cutsin 1981, Congress has kept mostprograms intact, freezing theirbudgets or increasing their fund¬ing levels marginally, Ozer re-,calls. .The proposed budget for this fi¬scal year, for example, includesspending of about $8 billion onstudent aid, about the same as1984-85, according to US Dept, ofEducation data.Moreover, an increasing per¬centage of the Guaranteed Stu¬dent Loan (GSL) budget is goingtoward collecting delinquentloans, says Dick Hastings, whoheads the Education Depart¬ment’s loan collection efforts.To compensate for the freezes,tuition has had to increase attwice the rate of inflation so farthis decade, Ozer says. But even“those victories could turn sourunder the theme of reducing thedeficit,” Ozer frets.Education lobbyists contendcontinued on page threeStudentU of CBy Andy ForsaithStaff WriterThe University Student HealthFee and student health insurancepremiums will continue to in¬crease with the cost of healthCharles O’Connell By Richard A.

U of C campaign officialshope that this year will prove different, ac¬cording to Alexander Sharp, vice-presidentfor Business and Finance and Chairman ofthe University campaign.The United Way supports over 350 humanservice agencies in the city and outlying su¬burbs of Chicago, three of which are locatedin Hyde Park: the Hyde Park NeighborhoodClub, the Chicago Child Care Society, andthe Blue Gargoyle. “One out of every threepeople is touched in some way by the UnitedWay,” says Goeff Cox, assistant to the vice-CPS — As more students get deeper anddeeper into debt, the Educational TestingService (ETS) has started selling a sof¬tware program to help decide how muchmoney students can afford to borrow to goto school.The program considers how much the stu¬dent is borrowing, the student’s major, andwhen the student will graduate in determin¬ing how hard it will be to repay the loan,says Dwight Horch, an ETS financial aid ex¬pert.Called the Student Loan Counselor debt-management system, Horch designed it foruse by students working with counselors.According to many reports, students needhelp badly.Since Congress cut back federal grants in1981, students are relying more on loans toget them through college.A September survey by the National Asso¬ciation of Student Financial Aid Adminis¬trators found students are falling so far intodebt so rapidly that they are having smallerfamilies and delaying major purchasesafter college.The survey of 3,000 Guaranteed StudentLoan borrowers also found women — whoget average starting salaries almost $6,000below those of men — are having a particu¬larly difficult time repaying loans, some¬times not breaking out of debt until they are president of Business and Finance. Withoutits help, many of these agencies would notbe able to run their programs up to par.The focus on student donations is not nec¬essarily directed toward the individual, butrather toward groups and organizations.“We realize that student funds are usuallylimited,” says Sharp. “We are more inter¬ested in the rate of participation.”Last year, the participation rate rosefrom a previous 15% to 23% of total Univer¬sity faculty and staff capable of contribut¬ing. For Sharp, this increase signals agreater interest in the campaign and poten¬tial for a higher rate of participation againthis year.As to how student organizations may be¬come involved, Sharp says, “We’re open toideas.” There are no specific guidelines tofollow, since this is the first vear of real stu-in their thirties.Horch designed the loan managementprogram to help students decide whether ornot they are taking on a reasonable debtburden.The program contains information forfive of the most popular student loan pro¬grams and stores a list of starting salariesfor 250 specific professions.Students enter their personal data into theprogram. Taking into account inflationrates and estimated taxes, the computer fi-tures the percentage of future income thatwill be spent repaying the loan.“This tells a student just how much thedebt is going to cost them after gradua¬tion,” says ETS spokesman MarilynBalias.As ETS’ director of University and Col¬leges Programs, Horch has “seen the need”for such a program for some time, Baliassays.“Professional schools, particularly medi¬cal school, where students have to do a lot ofborrowing, will find it a good predictingtool,” she adds.The Student Loan Counselor debt-man¬agement system is available under a leasearrangement for student loan offices for anannual license fee. The package runs on anIBM-compatible personal computer. dent involvement. Non-student organiza¬tions such as the U of C hospitals, are hold¬ing fund-drives of their own and donatingtheir proceeds to United Way.Staff members make pledges, and thentheir pledge cards become a sort of lotteryticket. Cards are drawn and prizes areawarded, some of which include a trip toLas Vegas, a personal computer, and tick¬ets to a Bears game. Student fund-raisingactivities will serve to increase the involve¬ment of students within their own organiza¬tions as well as within the community atlarge.Students who are interested in contribut¬ing to the United Way can make necessaryarrangements through the Bursar’s Office.Student groups or organizations with ideasfor fund-raising events are welcome to pres¬ent them to Goeff Cox at 962-8813.FOLK MUSICIANS FROM INDIAincluding Karim Kahn will performin law school auditorium on Saturdayat 8 pm.

Facts and figures just don tdo it,” Larry Zaglaniczany laments. “Weare doing everything we can, but we haven’tbeen too successful.”Ozer adds that other bills to slash studentaid programs may be added to the bill tocreate an omnibus deficit cutting pro¬gram.One Gramm-Rudman version, for examp¬le, would trim the allowance bankers re¬ceive for making GSLs.The proposed allowance cut, added to theconsequences of the deficit bill “will have acompounded impact.” and force manybankers to get out of the GSL business,banking lobbyist Bill Clohan says.Debate goes to NYCThe University of Chicago Debate Societysent two teams to the Columbia Universitydebate tournament in New York City No¬vember 1 and 2.

The letter criticizes MAB for not ad¬vertising off-campus, for limiting the firstday of ticket sales to students only, and forpricing non-student tickets at twice the stu¬dent rate. These criticisms arise from igno¬rance of MAB’s obligation and commitmentto students of the University of Chicago. Allof MAB’s funding, excepting proceeds fromticket sales, comes from the compulsoryStudent Activities Fee. The sole purpose ofthe Major Activities Board is to sponsormajor entertainment activities for thepayers of this fee. The ideal fulfillment ofthis purpose is a high quality show in whichevery seat in the house is sold to a U of Cstudent. The October 26 production ofJimmy Cliff approached this ideal when thehouse was filled to capacity with only tennon-student ticket holders, and these non¬students displaced as many students whohad already paid the activities fee.Non-student tickets are sold for two rea¬ sons only: it benefits students to be able tobring non-student guests; and financial andartistic goals are served by selling-out thehouse (which might not happen in someshows without non-student tickets). MABmembers regret that larger facilities arenot available which would allow servingboth the student body and the surroundingcommunity; for such is indeed desirable. Inlight of present circumstances, however,MAB has no regrets about its performancethis year.Regarding advertising, some readersmight be interested to know many big nameacts (such as Jimmy Cliff) are contractedto the University at a reduced rate as“closed shows.” this means off-campus list¬ings and advertisements are forbidden. Theprovision protects artists with multiple Chi¬cago appearances from revenue loss atother venues where tickets might cost morethan they do at the U of C.Robert Sparks,MAB Advisor,on behalf of the BoardJoin the fight against Multiple SclerosisTo the Editor:On behalf of all the Students Against Mul¬tiple Sclerosis, I would like to thank TheMaroon for their article in the November 12,1985 issue.Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic, progres¬sive disease of the central nervous systemin which the simplest, everyday tasks canno longer be taken for granted. MS tends tostrike young adults at about the same age ofmany students in universities. Although MSis not easily detected, 200 new cases arediagnosed every single week.The cause as well as the cure of MS hasyet to be determined. But research is being conducted at many institutions across thenation, including the University of Chica¬go’s own Department of Neurology andBrain Research Institute. But MS re¬searchers, just like researchers for manyother incurable diseases, need funds to helpfight this disease.By making MS the cause of this Universi¬ty, we hope to contribute to the funds gen¬erated at the other 149 campuses across thenation and to help continue the research toanswer existing questions.' Michael IlaganStudents Against Multiple SclerosisArmstrong rates a "C" in writing on GodTo the Editor:By the time that I finished reading KenArmstrong’s “The Ultimate in Perfection”in the Maroon of November 5,1985,1 was un¬able to believe that the student newspaper ofthe University of Chicago printed such ashoddy piece of prose. Aside from faults inlogic, including ad hominem arguments andsweeping generalizations, the style of thepiece was so bad that it seriously detractedfrom the case that Mr. Armstrong was try¬ing to make.Beginning a column that pleads for a“normative calculus” (how utterly preten¬tious this usage is) on whether the idea of agodhead has been beneficial to humanitywith a trite quotation from an equally trite popular composer serves to lessen theseriousness of the topic and the argument.Or, perhaps Mr. Armstrong’s point is thatthe topic is, from the start, a trite one? If so,why write on it at all?My purpose is not to critique Mr. Arm¬strong’s column. I can only hope that it waswritten in haste, thereby neither allowingfor time to present arguments coherentlynor to support the amazing statementswhich Mr. Armstrong makes. What I do findreprehensible, though, is that the Marooncould print unaltered piece that any fresh¬man English teacher would have gradedwith a “C.”Steven HonigGraduate School of BusinessThe Chicago MaroonThe Chicago Maroon is 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.

COLUMNA Conversation With GodBy Terry TrojanekViewpoints EditorI was walking down 55th street whensomeone asked me if I had any sparechange. I looked down in the gutter andsaw it was God. I squatted down next tohim, “Hard times big guy?”“You don’t know the half of it. Some¬times I think Hyde Park is worse thanSodom and Gomorrah combined. Theologi¬cally speaking, I’ve been getting the stuff¬ing knocked out of me here.”“Come on into Jimmy’s and I’ll buy youa drink.”“Bless you my son.”It seemed like a good investment, payfor a few drinks, and get a blessing fromGod. No good Catholic like me could haveturned it down, but boy could He toss downthe hooch. It ended up setting me back abit, but I figured that He’s come throughfor me a few times so what the heck. In anycase, he was soon spilling his guts to me.“Life really sucks, I wish I had nevercreated it.”“I know what you mean big guy, life’s abitch and then you die.”“Yeah right” he said sarcastically, “Atleast you scum get to die, I’ve got to hangaround and watch humanity dump it allright in the toilet. What a mess.”“Why don’t you just kick the snot out ofeveryone, and knock them down a fewnotches?”“I’d love to but I gave it up in the NewTestament. I’m the loving paternalisticGod now. Besides my legal departmentsays I made some sort of idiotic covenantwith some jerk named Noah about notkicking the snot out of mankind any¬more.”“Tough break there big guy.”“Don’t I know it. I’ll tell you Ter, I’m re¬ally getting fed up with mankind again.Especially here in Hyde Park. All these in¬tellectuals think they can figure me out.Jung tries to psychoanalize me; Nietzchedecides I’m dead; and now even thatcrummy rag you write for runs a columnsaying that I don’t even deserve toexist!”“Hey it’s like that great wise man oncesaid, ‘thems the breaks’.”“You little creep, I’m supposed to makethe breaks.”“What’s the matter, big guy, feeling alittle less than omnipotent?”Facilities passeTo the editor:I am a student who works in the HenryCrown Field House, whose job “seem abso¬lutely ridiculous” to Michael Sang, wouldlike to clarify a few points. Having dealtwith “disgruntled students” such as Sangwho complain about picking up a facilitiespass or paying for a replacement sticker, Iwould like to explain the reason for issuingthe pass. Considering that Mr. Sang is an in¬telligent fourth-year student who shouldhave known by now that he needed a pass toget into the building, his whole argument isridiculous.While it is true that most universities donot require a separate gym pass on the stu¬dent ID, it is also true that most universitiesare not located in a big city, surrounded bybad neighborhoods. The field house has hadtremendous security problems in the pastfew years. The sticker process is an attemptto alleviate some of these problems. Withthe numbered stickers, it is possible to keeptrack of each student who has picked up hispass. In effect, the sticker is a safeguardagainst illegal users. “Look wiseass, how would you like theBears to lose the next seven games?”“Okay, point well taken. I’m sorry, whydon’t you hear my confession?”“Are you kidding? What are you tryingto do, put me to sleep? You haven’t committed an interesting sin since that inci¬dent with the goat, firetruck, and thatyouth organization.”“Yeah, but you’ve got to admit, it waspretty imaginative.”“What do you want, a medal? Wrong guypinhead. When it comes to sin you’restrictly minor league. Now that guy Arm¬strong who says I shouldn’t exist, he’s gotsome major sin going down. At leastyou’re too much of a coward to deny myexistence. But boy am I going to enjoywatching Old Nick making smoked sau¬sage out of Armstrong.”“Come on big guy, its not like he’s amass murderer or something.”“Look, you little shits can do whateveryou want to each other. But I want theproper obesciences paid to me. A littleslobbering would be a nice change ofpace.”“What about all those TV ministers?Don’t they grovel enough for you?”“Are you kidding? Those slime are mak¬ing a mint in my name, but do I get ashare? Do I own a limo? Do I have Guccishoes? Do you think I like wearing bed-sheets? I wouldn’t mind a nice tailored Ita¬lian suit. At least the pagans always gaveme a share. You know, maybe its time fora new chosen people.”“Hey I’m flexible, big guy.”“You know kid, I like you. How does theword prophet sound to you?”“Does this involve sackcloth andashes?”“I think this time we’re going high classTerry. How about those tailored suits andGucci shoes.”“Can I do the whole calling of plaguesthing and mystical powers?”“You got it kid.”“Alright big guy, we’ve got a deal.What’s my first assignment; preaching tothe masses, healing the sick, promotingpeace?”“Nothing like that, go find that doubterArmstrong and stomp on him for me.”“Okay God. After I do that, can I go andsettle a few scores of my own?”“Go ahead kid, have a field day.”are necessaryMr. Sang should understand that studentsare not the only users of the athletic facili¬ties. Faculty, staff and even non-affiliates ofthe university use both Bartlett Gym andHenry Crown. These people do not carry va¬lidated student ID’s. Therefore we needsomething common to effectively monitorthe users of the gym. The athletic facilitiespass serves that purpose. In addition, if wcwere to match each student’s validation tohis or her picture, then there would be a linewaiting to enter the gym at all times. If thatwere the case, Mr. Sang would probablywrite another letter to the Maroon com¬plaining about the line.Furthermore, I resent having my “graylittle life” and “gray little job” made funof.I hope that Mr. Sang understands that thesticker process is helping us keep his prop¬erty safe, and not trying to ban him from thefield house. If he has any questions aboutthe matter, he should come ask instead ofadvertising his ignorance.Sincerely,A gray little bureaucrat4—The Chicago Maroon—Friday, November 15, 1985KiMJARK LIQUORS & VINE SHOPPEIn 14 East nrd Street • In Kimbark 1 SALE OATES 11/13-11/1S/S5iUU East SSrd Street • In Kimbark Plaza 493*3355BuyatttwyMtPucea!augsburgerM?02 BOTTLES$2^9OLDMILWAUKEE24 12 or CANS GRIZZLEY4-12 02 BOTTLES$349$599 OLD STYLE24-12 02 No R** BHt$6’*WITH MAA-M$5.99 MBATIRHOMBERG612 02.No Ret Brt$ $499 BUSCH29 12 02 CANS$6"CALIFORNIACOOLER ORBARTHSIJAYMES 4 pack $299I LOUIS GLUNZ1.5 Lit»fPHI A250 mlPETROCaUWMrri/*ED. 750 ml. $449 ALMADEN4 LITERM GALLO99 15 LITERST 3/*839$3" MASSON 15 liter $2" ’7LSS?"SPARKLING WINEGANCIA750 ml. $549PAUL 3/97.49MASSON $A99 JE750 ml ^LORD CALVERT CANADIAN1.75 LITER$7.99 TAYLOR750 ml.TASTING SAT.

University officialsdecided to reduce their coverage and pur¬chased a policy for $211,000.Hungerford says service reductions wereavoided this fall, but another increase in in¬surance rates next summer may make re¬ductions unavoidable.And if service reductions become wide¬spread, it won’t be long before even healthystudents are affected. AT Texas A & M, forexample, health officials decided to avoid abudget deficit this year by discontinuinggynecological services, including Papsmears, gynecological exams and birth con¬trol pills. Outraged students blasted the de¬cision, suggesting it reflected the morals ofadministrators.“Of all the things they could have cutback on, they cut this,” A & M senior DebbieEdwards told the University of Texas stu¬dent newspaper. “If we can’t get the pill,well, what do you think will happen?”University officials denied moralityplayed any part in their decision. One char¬acterized the gynecological services as “un¬necessary,” which the student critics saidproved their point.Health (U of C)continued from page one Crime Map•BURGLARY — BATTERY 4 THEFTCompiled by Tony Berkley and Mike GreenThis information was compiled from 24-hour crime reports obtained from Chi¬cago Police dated November 7-10dents do pay for the insurance, since mostare no longer covered by their parents’ in¬surance. The total cost for the year forhealth services for most graduate studentsis already $432, and more increases will hitthem the hardest.In recent years, both the health fees andthe student insurance have increased stead¬ily. In 1983, the health fee was $35 dollarsper quarter. In 1984, it increased by 11% to$39. It jumped another 7% this year to $42.The insurance premium has increased from $90 in 1984-1985 to $102 in 1985-1986. Theserates will most likely continue to go up ashealth care costs continue to climb.The increases have not, however, beenthe result of higher malpractice insurancecosts, according to University officials.“Malpractice insurance affects physi¬cians rather than hospitals,” said John W.Dorfmeister, director of Business and Fi¬nance for the Biological Sciences Divisionand the Pritzker School of Medicine. He hadnot heard of student health centers in gener¬ al being forced to cut back on services or in¬crease fees specifically because of highermalpractice insurance. (See accompanyingarticle on natural trends).Individual doctors have been forced topay higher and higher malpractice insur¬ance premiums, which raises their fees.Many obstetricians, for example, have beenforced out of practice by such high costs.The University hospital, and therefore theStudent Health Center, would not be affect¬ed by these costs. Dorfmeister also said that last year s$15.6 million deficit in the University’s Hos¬pitals and Clinics would not affect studenthealth fees. “The Health Center is an inde¬pendent auxiliary of the Hospital,” he ex¬plained.The situation in the University’s Hospitalsand Clinics, as well as the state of Universi-ty\ finances in general will be examined inup&pming issues of the Maroon.WITHROSALINDE & THE DAEAAE DANCERSFRIDAY, NOVEMBER 158:30 P.M.In the International House Assembly HallMiddle Eastern Food, Song and DanceS1 - Residents*3 - GeneralInternational House, 1414 E. 59th St. NON-ACADEMIC CAREERSFOR GRADUATE STUDENTSHow do you get from French History to Banking?From Philosophy to Market Research?From Japanese Studies to Non-Profit Mangement?Five U of C PhDs will discuss the transitionfrom academia to non-academic careersWednesday, November 20th7-9 pmCobb Hall 119Learn about:Exploring your career options.Moving from a scholar’s life to corporate life.Applying academic skills to non-academic work.Making the grade in Management.Sponsored by Career and Placement Services6—The Chicago Maroon—Friday, November 15, 1985^asAio/v on/ tA& J2uacd sltcricUuxd*commentary onficrt*.\orman>We want to thank all of the many entrantsin the “What Fashion Means To Me” essaycontest for their insightful entries. The en-tries ranged from the mediocre to the ex¬quisite. Among the top essays, however, twowere truly notable. The decision was dif¬ficult and we were tempted to acknowledgeboth as winners. Upon careful considerationof this option, however, we deemed $12.50 tobe too meager a prize. We did, however, feelit was important to share both essays withour readers.Honorable mention goes to Daniel B.Hirschhorn, graduate student in educationand the first prize goes to the team of K.John Wilkinson and Christopher JohnRupright.¥•¥■*In general, we liked this essay though it isnot without its fashion flaws. First, theessay did not place enough emphasis onfashion as a powerful tool. Secondly, whilethe phonological and grammatical themeswere well expressed, they did not exhibitthe depth and continuity which would char¬acterize a serious investigation of the issue.Thirdly, with an emotionally charged topicsuch as this, we found it peculiar that therewas not more personal analysis or reflec¬tion involved. Nonetheless, Wilkinson andRupright’s insight is keen. We have nodoubt that this piece will take its placeamongst the other great works in the litera¬ture. The gentlemen are to be commended.(Our comments are in parenthesis.)We would give it, say Well, whatever.D&M* * *By K. John WilkinsonandChristopher John RuprightThe WinnersIn one of his famous fireside chats, utilityinfielder (the reference should be obvious)and patriot (unnecessary) Thomas Jeffer¬son said, “In matters of taste, go with thecurrent; in matters of principle, stand like arock.” An uneducated buffoon might ven¬ture the proposition that in matters of fash¬ion, therefore, one should go with the cur¬rent, as it were, (awkward) being tossedabout the cosmopolitan ocean (cosmopoli¬tan ocean) like a cork from a cheap bottle ofwine. That opinion is as wrong as reruns ofDynasty. Clearly, we would argue, and Jef¬ferson could only nod his head in wonderedagreement, fashion is a principle as firm asthe foundation of life itself, (is this yourthesis statement) But first, let us pause amoment and consider the very word we arecelebrating.Repeat the word slowly. FASHION.Discover the sensual beauty as this bon motcascades from your mouth. Now, linger ateach letter. The aspirated F. The lovelyshort ‘a’ vowel, held long enough so we mayprogress to the S-H diad without any glottaldiscomfort (good). The ‘sh’ itself, the high¬light of this phonetic jewel. The ION, a fit¬ting finale to this vocable paragon. But wemust continue.What does fashion mean to us? Allow usfirst to say what fashion does not mean tous. Fashion does not mean war, or greed, orpestilence, or ill will, or sloth, or the Milwa-kee (sp) Brewers. Fashion embodies good¬ness (mais oui). Fashion is our raisond’etre, our joie de vivre (good use of aforeign language).Fashion is more than a word. It is a noun,(brilliant) It is form, figure, shape, contour,outline, structure (what about texture?). Itis being curled up in front of a crackling fireon a chilly autum (sp) afternoon. It is diesel fuel. It is a premium wine cooler. It is boxseats to a Bears game. It is networking, dia¬loguing, interfacing (excessive technicaljargon). It is subscribing to The NewYorker and ignoring the cartoons. It is n-Aid, where n represents every human mis¬fortune. Fashion is Fashion (oversimplifea-tions). I am what I am.In the preceding paragraph, we termedfashion a noun. The sheer beauty of fashionis that, in all its earthly delights, it performsas a verb as well. This grammatical dialec¬tic, that certain je ne sais quoi, transcendsthe word, and lifts us to a higher plateau.Let us conjugate the paradigm (word choice).I fashion We fashionYou fashion You fashionHe fashions They fashionShe fashions (Au Frambois)It fashionsAs To Fashion’ is conjugatable, so fashionis conjunct. We can only stand back inamazement, uttering in vino veritas (Latintoo!).Cleary, considering fashion is a proble-mus complexis. We’re not physicists, but weknow what matters (cute). We know that itis as important to watch the MacNeil-Yn/mora/d& Jlde/itiori/By Daniel B. HirschomHonorable MentionWhen we think of popular labels such asyuppie, punk, prep, nerd, wannabe, andHeinz it is invariably connected with an ele¬ment of fashion. My mom works at Saks,and to her fashion is a 30% discount. As aformer shoe salesman, I’ve seen pointedtoes, rounded toes, spiked heels, low heels,purple snakeskin uppers, and prom shoesdoubling as wedding shoes. In this capacity,I’ve waded through the fads and fancies tounexplicably determine exactly whatfashion is. First of all, I’ll explain whatfashion isn’t. This is similar to explainingnot what Gucci’s is, but that it isn’t Vinyl Ci¬ty — although it does close for lunch likeUSFCU or whatever they do. Some popularmisconceptions:1) Fashion as a pick-up ploy. I was on thecampus of Illinois State University when Isaw a young woman in a Harvard sweat¬shirt. I pointed at her chest and said “I’vebeen there!” meaning Harvard, not thechest. Needless to say, this ploy wouldn’twork on Rush Street where things are notNormal. But fashion and manipulation havea long history together peaking with Brookeand her Calvins. Now it has justdegenerated into extra income for the restof “Dynasty.”2) Fashion as a science. People at theUniversity of Chicago aren’t used to readingessays unless they have something in¬comprehensible in them. So now I’ll definefashion recursively:F(0) - figleafsF(n) -F(n-l) + CTwhere F is the fashion function and CT is thecurrent trends. The CT at the moment is toweigh 308 pounds, wear a #72 jersey, andscore touchdowns. This too shall pass.3) Fashion as a personal statement. Thebig debate these days is whether fashion isgenetic or environmental.

Everyone makes apersonal statement — even not making oneis making one — that’s democracy. In com¬munism everyone makes the same personalstatement. The philosophy of this sect wasfound by that famous orator, Popeye, whosaid “I yam what I yam.” Of course, withcans of spinach in his pockets, he nevercould get a good tailored fit.What separates Ralph Lauren fromGloria Vanderbilt on the fashion front (anddon’t say a crowbar) is what fashion truly iswhich of course is what fashion means tome.Fashion is abuzzwordFace facts: Marlon Brando puts on anundershirt and doesn’t shave in “A Street¬car Named Desire” and the man becomes alegend. A generation later, Don Johnsonputs on an undershirt, doesn’t shave, andputs on a linen sportscoat in “Miami Vice”and the man is a fashion sensation. Doesthis make sense? Does this make money?But what’s great is that absurdity allowsyou to do anything. Wear a Hawaiian shirtwith an outlandish tie, wear a formal gownunder a halter top, wear an androgynoustablecloth. Between GQ, WWD, Vogue.Glamour, Ebany, Playboy, or PersonalComputing you’ll find the right words tojustify it. Fashion is like wine tasting:“Why that outfit is ebullient yetsophisticated; fruity yet glamourous.” (Gotto love those adjectives.)

It is as impor¬tant to eat natural foods, drink light beer,and fight plaque with proper brushing andflossing as it is to have given your childrenthe proper names and imparted them withthe well-developed philosophy of life (wellsaid). These are all matters of fashion.Fashion is making the correct decision be¬tween mousse and gel (citation necessaryhere). Fashion is choosing between Betaand VHS. Fashion is waking up in the morn¬ing, looking confidently into the mirror, ex¬claiming, “It’s going to be a supply-sideday,” and running a regression to prove it!(superfluous) Fashion is being the rightkind of person, and in these 1980’s, we allknow how important that is.Therefore, if you have outlined all of yourfashion stategems, power-lunched overyour viable options in this world where fash¬ion is the ultimate consideration, (thisshould be your thesis) and then proceed toelectus incorrectus, you have done so muchmore than simply miss the yacht.(K.

As a result,the schools could not count on get¬ting all the profits from market¬ing their wares more aggressive¬ly-Although the Harvard nameand colors are in wide use, theschool, says Rissing, seems to bea “unique, one-of-a-kind ani¬mal.”He attributes the huge sales ofthe shirts to the school’s world¬wide reputation, its large andloyal alumni and to the Coop’slabor policies, which encouragesales by paying dividends out ofproceeds.Real status, however, accruesto owning an authentic Harvard t-shirt, available only at one of theCoop stores.

A re¬cruiting war is revolving around 6’3” freshman Doug Jackman that com¬pares with the Tito Horford case (Houston/LSU/?). Jackman’s Shorelandhouse wants him to play for them, but so does a freshman independent teamas well as last year’s undergraduate residence champions (formerly underrf Sickert label). A word of warning to Jackman Tito was kickedoff the LSU team due to tampering so just go ahead and play for lastyear s champs, and don’t let those other teams tamper with you.No matter what team carries the undergraduate crown, they’ll soon be car¬ring their heads, as well, once they confront the graduate league champs. Thegraduate champs could very well be a team comprise of five former U of Cvarsity basketball players including Nick Merrigioli, Keith Libert, AdamGreen, Frank Caesar, and Mike Vail.In IM Volleyball action, Hitchcock won the Undergraduate ResidenceChampionships by defeating Fiji 15-12 and 15-11. However, it was the Fijiteam that captured the hearts of all-Americans. This hard luck team startedthe year 0-2, including a loss to Lower Flint. Then with a revamped lineupincluding the “Fat Guys’’ and one-half of the Flying Kapotas Brothers, Jum¬pin’ Jim, the Fiji’s won three in a row including a rematch with a LowerFlint. In the end, it was at least 30 “Nice serves!” by Hitchcock, in the finals,that allowed this Fiji script to follow that of Stallon’e “Rocky”.Speaking of movies, have any of you seen “Morons from Outer Space” (They came, they saw, they did a little shopping)? Well this movie inspiredthe Upper Rickert football to its first ever undefeated regular season. GMRaj Nanda managed to put together a pretty solid team. The Upper Rickertdefense has never allowed more than seven points in a game, and they haveintercepted 12 passes (including five by Mike Todd and four by Jamie Wer-hane). To find out more about Upper Rickert’s defensive philosophy, I askeddefensive coordinator, Dan “Who is this man they call Buddy Ryan?” Lemerwhat he likes to call in 3rd and 8 situations. Lemer said “bring in the sink andall major appliances and if that still doesn’t put pressure on the quarterback,throw chunks of mud on his eyes!” David Oliver “Who is this man they callBill Walsh?” Lloyd’s immaginative play calling his baffled opponents asmuch as Lerner’s defenses. Upper Rickert looks for its fifth consecutive vic¬tory in their upcoming playoff game. In typical Bear-like fashion, the Ricker-teers are verbally abusing their opponents caling them “nothing but a bunchof cheeseheads”. This could get as violent as the Bears-Packer game but URplayers have already gone through five stitches and a split eye. On the IMToday Show, this past Sunday, George Allen said it all, “Good defense stillwins games Brent.”As for Volleyball, Upper Rickert has played like the Chicago Cubs. Theyhaven’t done anything well on the court this year. It appears that a total lackof care, self-esteem, and motivation has led to a winless season. Everyoneknows that the Cubs were a fluke, but Upper Rickert?—Matt SchaeferThe Third String-The courts of the Lord Dennis A. ChanskyLast season was seemingly one of the best for Catholic basketball, as threeof the final four teams represented Catholic schools. But even during the bestof times, life is a struggle. This season, a prodigal son returns to the fold,reminding all the brethren just how depraved all mankind actually is, and,accordingly, just how close sainthood and damnation really are to eachother.San Francisco had written its own ticket into the canon. Consecutive na¬tional championships and very literate graduates became the outward sign ofthe program. But the pressure to win chased all the grace away. The pro¬gram turned absolutely evil, and realizing this, San Francisco threw itselfopen to the free gift that comes from sacrificing that which you love most, inthis case, basketball. This season will be the first since 1982 that the Dons willcompete.But San Franciso is not the first school to sober up the enthusiasts of Catho¬lic basketball. Back in the fifties, the betting scandals ravaged all the greatbasketball programs in New York, several of them Catholic. And althoughholy mother St. John's was never implicated in any serious way, coaching aCatholic basketball team became the best way to have your character ques¬tioned, and so the blessed Frank McGuire decided to leave SJU to go to workfor the secular state schools of the south, where he founded the ACC.To replace the elder McGuire at St. John’s (the younger McGuire had yet totake his degree), the holy fathers had to scrounge around the metropolitanarea, and they came up with someone from Yonkers of all places. Theblessed Joe Lapchik was not the strategist that Frank McGuire was. Lap-chik’s teams did very well, although they did not burn up the court. But JoeLapchik was a very special man who understood frailty and depravity. Andthe great relic he left us was the scrapbook. Lapchik cut out every singlearticle concerning anyone who was implicated in the scandal and pasted itdown in a book. He made every single one of his players read the entire col¬lection every year. Lapchik himself reread the book many times, and asoften as he did, I am told, he cried.Lapchik cried because he knew it was not safe to think that just because his school was shielded by the aura of being a religious institution that it wasimpervious to scandal. Lapchik cried knowing that just because he was areligious man, he was not above reproach himself. Perpetual vigilence wasJoe Lapchik’s great example for all who followed him as a coach, as a Catho¬lic coach, and as a religious man.And although Frank McGuire might have been a great innovator, collegebasketball owes just as great a debt to Lapchik, Catholic college basketballespecially. With the exception of Jesuit-run San Francisco, Catholic schoolshave followed the way pointed out by old Joe Lapchik. And San Francisowould not be bringing basketball back if it were not ready to do as well.And because Catholic schools have done so it is impossible to do anythingbut enjoy their tremendous accomplishments. There is nothing but joy re¬membering the fine team of young men from Loyola who in 1963 voluntarilyslept on the bus because no hotel or motel in the south would house their en¬tire integrated squard when they were on the road. That team beat mightyCincinnati for the NCAA championship that year. But is that surprising sincethey practiced in Angel Guardian Gym.And who can forget the great achievements of the 1977 MarquetteWarriors,whose love for one man was turned into a national championship. Get outyour hymn books and sing a song to the blessed A1 McGuire.And to mighty Georgetown, all of whose players earned a degree at George¬town, or who for their own good were shipped off to schools where they couldboth play and take a degree.And to little Villanova, and their historical perfection on earth.You might ask just where Catholic basketball was when John Wooden wasmaking a 15 year mockery of the sport. Well I don’t know where it was, but Ido know' where Wooden was, in the city named after “Our Lady Queen of theAngels.”The mystery, joy, miracle, pagentry, pomposity and scandal of the basket¬ball of the Catholic church are really what set it apart from other forms of thesport. And may perpetual light shine upon it.ADVERTISE IN THE MAROON CLASSIFIEDS* HOW TO WRITE YOUR CLASSIFIED AD: Write the ad as you want it to appear in the paper (on a 45character line)One letter, punctuation mark, etc. per space...Leave onespace between words after punctuation.Circle ALL Letters to be CAPITALIZED.SPECIAL HEADINGS: (Any heading not listed on the posteroutside the office). 20 characters per line.$2.00 for the first line, $1.00 for each additional line.SPECIAL HEADING: $3 per line (20 characters per line).All classifieds must be prepaid by check.

But the weak shell of hisbody harbored a pearl of intelligence andcreative power. Nearly his entire life wasspent in physical and spiritual isolationfrom others. His closest confident was hisimagination, his true home was language,his introspection defined reality, and de¬sire had already taken death as an object,and made it erotic.Though widely acclaimed as a writer byage sixteen, and despite — or rather be¬cause of -r- his skill at objectifying fanta¬sies in the manipulation of words, Mishimasoon grew dissatisfied with a purely liter¬ary life. He discovered that words had a“corrosive function’’. Language is “a me¬dium that reduces reality to an abstrac¬tion for transmission to our reason, and intheir power to corrode reality inevitablylurks the danger that the words will becorroded too”. Already a tenuous basis ofexistence, words begin to erode their ownthin supports.Identifying himself strictly with lan¬guage and the imagination, Mishimaadopted a crippling dualism which deniedthe links between subjectivity and action,consciousness and the body, the individualand the group — dualisms eventually to beovercome in physical and military train¬ing. This helium-like existence provokedan extreme crisis. Lost in abstractions, Mi¬shima groped for the concrete; afloat in asurreality, Mishima sought a grounding inmateriality. Words proved inadequatenot only for the intensification of con¬sciousness, they could scarcely verify it.Consciousness had to seek its “anthithe-sis”, words had to become incarnate. Artwas a shadow, the substance becamebody. And the body itself became art.2.Flesh: The Language of the Body“It occurred to me that what I need¬ed was action with which to move myspirit. What could I do to get myspirit moving? I realized I wouldhave to move my body first.”Mishima’s appropriation of the bodybegan at age 30, in July, 1955. Havingadopted a new “will to health”, he took upweight lifting, swimming, boxing, karate,and kendo (Japanese swordfighting),eventually attaining a fifth degree blackbelt in kendo. Though he continued towrite prodigiously, the body came to behis principle focus. The muscles, under com¬mand of will, were able to reverse theprocess of existential diminishmentbrought on by words, and to allow for theconfirmation of life. Through the body Mi¬shima discovered an unprecedented imme¬diacy and concreteness of existence, a"pure sense of power”, an affirmation ofand encounter with being “that no amountof books or intellectual analysis couldever capture”. As life came to be identi¬fied with action and the body, intellectualscame to be vilified as cowards . The pi¬tifully absurd problems posed by academ¬ic skeptics would dissolve in the body. Suf¬fering was thus “the only proof of theexistence of consciousness”. Later, as a corailary proof, the body would have tobleed.Initially, Mishima remained a dualist.He first merely counterposed the body toconsciousness and saw them as contradic¬tory tendencies. His attempt was “to en¬counter reality in some field where wordsplay no part at all”, a reality “absolutelyfree of interference by words”. This wasimportant, Mishima thought, since wordsmediated experience, and therefore di¬minished and falsified it. This and otheroppositions, however, were graduallyovercome in the understanding that lan¬guage, spirit, and body all spring from asingle source, that the flesh had its own"language”, albeit a slient one, and thatthe torpid body is the mirror of the torpidspirit. Still, the body assumed a primacyfor Mishima because of its (supposed) pri-mordiality and logical precedence for themastery of thought itself.The body was recuperated through thedialetic of Sun and Steel.Sun: anthithesis of the scholar's “shad¬owy pit”. Intellectuals were dissolute menof night who “had, without exception, dry,lusterless skins and sagging stomachs”.The “nocturnal outlook’ is “the product ofdiseased inner organs.”Steel: weights, the sword, and hardenedmuscles. Where Sun dispelled the shroudof scholarly darkness, steel created theaesthetic and ennobled body. Where Sunlit the path to a new existence, Steelcreated the aesthetic and ennobled body.Where Sun lit the path to a new existence,Steel lent the apparatus for powerful ex¬perience.The body continued to preoccupy Mishi¬ma, but as he evolved, its cultivation be¬came a mere means in his scheme. Withinthe sinewy walls of the skilled bodyascended a “second sun” enflamed in darkred, a “sun of death that would neverburn the skin yet gave forth a still strang¬er glow”, a sun that beckoned new worlds.The glow of this sun became a conflagra¬tion as, fncreasingly, the limitations of theflesh were found. In the powerful presenceof a dawning oblivion, even the body be¬came shadow-like, pale before this newsubstance that promised the end of all sub¬stance.3.The Beauty of Death in the Death of Beauty“I had discovered that the profoun-dest depths of the imagination lay indeath. Death is the only truly entic¬ing, truly vivid, truly erotic con¬cept”.Mishima’s seemingly innate longing fordeath appears quite early in his youth. Inhis life and his fiction he syntheticallylinked beauty, ecstasy, and death in a tri¬angular configuration of desire. This wasintensified through Mishima’s brief associ¬ation with the Japanese Romantic Schoolwhich exalted every tradition, but none sofervently as the divinity of the Emperor.Their collectively nourished death-wish isevidenced in their motto “To die is knowculture”.More decisive, however, was the influ¬ence of the Samurai tradition, especiallyas interpreted by a seventeenth centuryanchorite, Jocho Yamamoto, in his elevenvolume tome, Hagakure. This text taughtmoral, spiritual, and physical purity, butits central message was unmistakeable(and by no means a separate issue): "Ihave discovered that the Way of the Sa¬murai is death”. For Mishima, the Haga¬kure was the “one and only book”, “the book that teaches freedom and passion”.Embracing its dominant theme, Mishimaspeaks of “death by the sword or disem-bowelment as the proper completion to aman’s training to perfection”, indicating awholly new conception the body.The social conditions of post-war Japangave urgency to the teachings of the Ha¬gakure. Bombed into a humiliating sub¬mission by the U.S., the reigning Empe’rornot only surrendered his political power,he disavowed himself, in an unprecedent¬ed act, of his divine status, thereby nulli¬fying the symbolic value of the deaths ofthree million youths who died for him inthe war. For Mishima and others, this wasappalling. The physical ruins of Japan mir¬rored the greater spiritual devastation ofthe Japanese spirit. Radical nationalistmovements, on the left and right, emergedwith the goal of rebuilding an indepen¬dent Japan.This social and political situation provid¬ed the context for the realignment of Mi¬shima’s attitudes and desires. He adoptedthe facist program based on irrationalism,a fanatic dedication to a mythical Emper¬or-God who must rule absolutely, and a re¬turn to the purity of Samurai ideals. Be¬coming an activist, conceiving himself as awarrior, Mishima organized and led, inthe late 60s, his own guerilla army, actual¬ly a suicide squad, whose goal was to “re¬store Japan to her true form and, in theact of restoration, die", a mission alreadyprefigured in his literature. Mishima's de¬sire for death, until now confirmed to thelevel of vague fantasy, had become con¬crete as conscious, careful, and irrevers¬ible steps were taken toward its realiza¬tion.As the political situation changed, thebody emerged at a new level. It was stillto be trained and developed, but only tobe delivered over to its negation throughthe sword. Where once the body was theconduit to a primordial reality, here it be¬comes a mere aesthetic symbol for agreater reality. “Any confrontation be¬tween weak, flabby flesh and deathseemed to be absurdly inappropriate”. IfThanatos is to merge with Eros, if death isto be beautiful and erotic, tragic andnoble, and so involved a squandering ofthe flesh, one which disarticulates thebody at its peak of mastery. But thissquandering immediately cancels and re¬deems itself in a martyred heroic, a con¬ception and image of death Mishima hadtaken from Japanese tradition.Thus, the convergence between Mishi¬ma’s intensely subjective visions and de¬sires and the socio-political context of pre-and post-war Japan. Mishima was genuin¬ely distraught over the defeat and declineof the Japanese spirit, but his politicswere clearly subordinated to the intensi¬ties and demands of his subjectivity (as isoften the case where political “theory”rests less on critical analysis and rationalattitudes than subjective needs and de¬sires). Significantly, Mishima’s intenselyautobiographical work, Sun and Steel(written in 1968, two years before thisdeath) reads as an epic poem rather thana manifesto; the rhetoric of politics givesway to the vision of death.Throughout his life Mishima indefatig-ibly sought being, eros, beatuy. He couldnot rest satisfied with any final, objecti¬fied form of beauty, be it aesthetic orphysical. He came to conceive beauty in afocused, singular way, as a hastened or¬ganic process, “the beauty of the bodygoinq to its doom”, or. even more magnifi¬ cent, “the beauty of the suicide squad” inits final actions. In the end, there was“beauty only through a heroic, violentdeath”, the beauty not of the artist or theathlete, but of the warrior.Literature was an “imperishable flow¬er” and so artificial; the body promisedpure being, but it too fell stagnant in thestatis of aesthetic form. The desire forbeing became the desire to bridge the gapbetween experience and representation.The experience of the body could not besustained in any unmediated form. Someform of language, of representation,would always mediate experience andopen the cleavage, open a wound, be¬tween experience and being. Mishima fi¬nally sought “to deal a blow to the realmof the senses fierce enough to silence thequerulous complaints of self-awareness.That precisely is when the knife...mustcome cutting into the flesh.. Blood flows,existence is destroyed, and the shatteredsenses give existence as a whole its firstendorsement, closing the logical gap be¬tween seeing and existence. And this isdeath”. It is the deadly insight, much morethan any political heroics, that deliveredMishima from the Sun to the Steel.4.Conclusion“He always wanted to exist, butnever could”.(Mishima's brother)To close the gap of representation, onehad to open the walls of the flesh. In orderto live, to finally live, one had to die. The“first endorsement” of being must also beits only endorsement, its last endorse¬ment. The purity of consciousness isbeyond words, beyond the body. It spellsthe end of words and the doom of theflesh. The knife is the exclamation point tothe sentence of existence. Eros is the bloodthat flows out of the body, the senuousshudder of life discharging.These are the paradoxes as defined andlived by Mishima’s dialectical conscious¬ness. “All we know now or ever”, says oneof his fictional characters, “is that deathmust have always been his desire”. But itremains for us to come to grips with theissues Mishima brought to life in his death.Was his heightened vision actually a blind¬ness or did he penetrate the veils of stag¬nant existence? Was his extreme sensitivi¬ty alert to the imminent issues of being ordid he transcend all legitimate bounda¬ries? Was his health a form of sickness, hisstrength a guise for weakness, and hisself-mastery really a loss of control? Didhe identify real existential antinomies ordid he reflect, at any ideological level, thebourgeois conditions of his time, where the“contradiction (e g., the individual is si¬multaneously born and nullified) and thuswill also pass historically?A dialectical response will seek groundon each side of these questions and eschewany rigid, definitive answers. While wemay disagree with Mishima’s “solutions”,we should see that he has posed theproper problem: how to live, if we are tolive at all, near the center of passion andenergy rather than confined at its mar¬gins. And if we did not mention that specif¬ic forces act to keep us there (the class re¬lations and dominant culture whichperpetuate economic and spiritual po¬verty) and that the struggle toward exis¬tence is necessarily a political and collec¬tive one, we would mystify the very issuewhich needs clarification.What Now?Terrorists in T-shirts, Levi 501’s, and runn¬ing shoes.

Thisis a preview, written by an interest¬ed party. So be careful!) Studenttheater goes apocalyptic as Black-frairs takes musical comedy to theend of the world and back with itsnew all-singing, all-<Jancing prod¬uction ‘Til the end of the World, withmusic, lyrics, and book by third-yearCollege student and staunch, ‘FriarDan “Screamin' " Biemer. Zanyantics abound as those wacky‘Friars start the clock running at fiveminutes ‘til midnight, never lookingback until the world order is oncemore put right through the restora¬tive powers of th inevitable, life-af¬firming kickline. Sounds dumb? It isbut, be assured, only dumb in thetime-honored, life-enhancing Black-friars sense, a sense which makes nosense at all, but one which we real¬ize we all must accept as author/au¬teur Biemer cries out for musicalcomedy in a world gone mad. Bring¬ing Biemer’s twisted vision to thestage was no easy task for veteranBlackfriars director Lisa Morrow,pushed to the limits of her own per¬sonal weirdness by the demands ofthe charmingly baffling BiemerianWeltanschauung. Happily, her yearsin the trenches of the pink-and-bluemusical have paid off, enabling herto take all the mirth-provoking bi- zarrie in stride, with a sharp wit, asharp eye, and a sharp tongue (mur¬mured one chastened cast memberafter a less-than-precision dance re¬hearsal: “Her awareness if glo¬bal!"). Assuring high musical stan¬dards are Jonathan Hall and NanCorning, both of whom have this“thing” about accurate pitches andrhythms; to these harsh musicaltaskmasters, a quarter note isalways a quarter note, and F isnever F sharp. Taking the show’s ro¬mantic leads are fresh-faced, fresh¬voiced Freshmenschen Philip Park,Lessie Jo Frazier, Douglas Cogan,and Laura Williamson, all trapped ina potentially tragi-comic web oflove as they wait for the final cur¬tain to descend. Filling such variedroles as Death, Satan, Oedipus Rex,Sigmund Freud, and the Prophet ofDoom will be the expected contin¬gent of jaded Blackfriar veterans,as well as a host of jaded Blackfriarnewcomers. Of course, none of thiswould matter if the Prophet didn’tflip, but he does, and so will you, inthe Reynolds Club Third Floor The¬ater tonight and tomorrow, plus No¬vember 21-23 at 8 pm.

Rudiger Vogler stars as theartist who explores the Germancountryside and is joined enroute bya juggler called Mignon (played by athen fourteen-year-old NastassjaKinski), an actress (Hanna Schygul¬la) and a poet (Peter Kern). WhileGoethe’s 18th century classic pre¬sented a man who finds self-realiza¬tion at the dawn of the new age ofburgeois individuals, Wenders’s cen¬tral figure is trapped in a post-warGerman maze of highways, factor¬ies, and cities which only representthe loneliness and isolation of the in¬dividual. Wrong Move is Wenders’most German film; leaving behindhis usual obsession with America’seffect upon the German conscious¬ness, Wenders here explores themelancholy resignation of European intellectuals in the mid-Seventies.Called “one of the most importantGerman films since Lubitsch, Lang,and Marnau” by Der Spiegel's Sieg¬fried Schober, Wrong Move is essen¬tial viewing for anyone interestedin German culture and the New Ger¬man Cinema.

(William Friedkin,1985) “Is it true that all the womenin LA have incredibly thin hips andspend a lot of time with few or noclothes on?” This is one of a few sim¬ilar questions raised by this newfilm. William Friedkin, who alsodirected The French Connectioncreates the most hair-raising (wrongway on the freeway!) but implausi¬ble (surreal?) car-chase sequences todate. As appropriate as this may befor a film set in the land of the eter¬nal freeway, it fails to support theugly action/character study of anAll-American, cold, murderous trea¬sury agent vs. a fashionable, cold,murderous counterfeiter, along withtheir calculating, cold, but not asmurderous “girl-friends”. Primarilythe men use the women, and eachother, while the single human beingin the story, the new partner/cop, isgradually forced to compromise hisevery value in order to support thevendetta that “our hero” maintainsagainst the killer of his old buddy/teacher. Sound familiar? Itis, yet there are a few twists in thisugly plot. One of the women gets todrive away in a Maserati with her”girlfriend”/lover in smug answerto a sleazy lawyer’s query, “Whydid you stay with him for so long?”The action-violence is relativelyplausible and excessively viciousenough to support the idea thatthese people are as depraved andstupid as they appear to be. As awell-shot travelogue of SoCal thismovie succeeds; unfortunately weare subjected to the nihilistic (in theworst sence of the word) antics of afew unbelievable creeps, mixed inwith trendy fashion, sex and interi¬or atmosphere shots. What I reallywant to know is how an ex-conturned artist could waste his timeprinting his own twenties, killingcops and ex-collaberators, when hehad such enlightened tastes inclothes, cars, night-clubs andwomen? The death-wish explana¬tion offered by the film-makermight be credited as a metaphor forsociety at large, but is unsuccessfulas a story-telling device. A betterexplanation might be the main¬stream appeal of a story which mar¬ginalizes and distances post-punkculture and fashion by linking it tovicious criminality. It sells well. Onegood point, the film blurs the linesbetween criminals, lawyers, andlaw-enforcers and in so doing, showsthe symbiotic relations among thesegrups. Still, I left feeling used, vio¬lated, soiled. At Water Tower Place.-MMBring on the Night (Michael Apted,1985) Avoid this movie at all costs.A documentary about Sting and hisnew band, Bring on the Night is amonumental exercise in ego-gratifi¬cation which seeks to present Stingas a “great artist” and ends up re¬vealing him as “asshole.” WatchSting play a C chord! Watch Stingchange clothes every scene! Listen toSting talk about art! Except, hedoesn’t have much to say. His big¬gest statement comes as we see hiswife giving birth as the soundtrackplays “Russians” with its lyric abutthe Soviets loving their children too;the cameramen bypass the wife fora tight shot of Sting's reaction. Hedoesn’t look too involved. This filmis almost as funny as the rock paro¬dy Spinal Tap except Sting is deadserious. Too bad for him. The onlybright spot is the all-too-brief ap¬pearance of Sting's (and The Po¬lice’s) manager, Miles Copeland, aspeed-rapping titan of greed andvenality whose sense of wild excite¬ment is the film's highlight.

NOVEMBER 15. 1985—GREY CITY JOURNALcorded in Chicago in recent memory. Eventhe Reader, whose critics tend always tobe underwhelmed, proclaimed “A starcomedy quintet is born,” threatening thatif you didn’t see them now your nextchance would be on network TV. And ev¬eryone else basically agreed; the showand its cast had star quality.Zoo Plate Special has now reopened in alarger theatre and will be playing at leastthrough the end of the year (six very shortweeks). The show at first seems not to liveup to its amazing build up...star quality,that’s like, well, Madonna or something.However there is a brilliance at workhere—not fall down and die brilliance butsomething more unfinished. The company,who go by the name Friends of the Zoo,have put together a very solid, very funnyand very, very well performed show—perhaps not rivaling Pia Zadora at theDrury Lane but close.The group has been together since 1980when Mark Nutter (who seems to be thedriving force) decided with Russ Flack, an¬other company member, to form a comedytroupe. The group has a typical stylebased in improvisation (a la Second City)but as they don’t rely solely on that ap¬proach they are able to develop more com¬plex and involved pieces. Besides doingtheatrical works they have also earnedtheir living by doing entertainment forconventions and business meetings. Thissounds like utter hell but even here theFOTZ were able to quickly and adeptlyshift tone and content to their audience—atalent not shared by many of their peers,|a;ho have their schtick and that’s the end|||yt. In fact, the sales meeting of the E ZPar company at which FOTZ performed**the best sales meeting in E Z Por’shistory**’ No small feat.Leaving sales reps behind the FOTZ hasfesttioned an evening of musical comedybuilt on three self-contained scenarios.The opening piece is called “Joey’sWorld,” a retrospective took at the darkside of a nightclub singer’s climb up theladder and fall into corruption. Joey Isplayed with manic energy by Peter Burnswho ia easily the most talented performerto the group. Joey is lust a dumb jerk who figures out there are ways to the top evenif if other people have to die for it to hap¬pen. The piece plays off the adoration peo¬ple express for nasty villians like JR andAlexis on night time soap operas as wellas they sleazy side of a singer like FrankSinatra. It is to the group’s credit thattheir characterizations never rely on im¬personating or spoofing specific people.Rather they always manage to weave to¬gether a few different social phenomenaand then push it to its illogical and absurdJust a nice bunch of kids working out theirchildhood repressions.outcome. Joey’s final solution for how toremain popular is to be a professional sa¬dist who mutilates and kills his adoringfans. But always with a sweet shit-eatinggrin.The second piece lathe longest and mostinvolved about the plight of a renegadewaitress from a trendy salad bar restau¬rant who stumbles upon a cult who wor¬ship the ways of the old fashioned diner—the piece Is named, “A Decent Piece ofPie.” It's in this piece that FOTZ reachesmost for a plot but one really doesn’t ma¬ terialize. Things always remain on a sur¬real level where nothing doesn’t necessar¬ily lead to another. They echo the MontyPython school of humor but have yet tofind an internal coherence for their gener¬al incoherence. The waitress is taken asthe Messiah who will resurrect the dinerfrom oblivion so that all the goat cheeseand endive salads will be shipped back totheir loathsome French motherland andAmericans will once again dine on nativefare like Three Stooges, red, on a raft, nopaddle. Jeanette Schwaba as the reluc¬tant warrior waitress is a real charmerwith a strong singing voice.The final piece is an all out abandonmentof reality as we go through a freefall intothe demented dream world of the foot fe¬tishist. “Doris” is the story of a womanwho breaks her heel at her wedding and isthen swept into a twilight world of foot af-ficianados. Though “Doris” doesn’talways hit its target it is the most satisfyi¬ng piece of the evening. This is the kind ofpiece the FOTZ seems most comfortableworking with—a stream of consciousnessapproach letting the piece go where itwill. One can easily imagine one of themsaying for no apparent reason, “Thenthese three elves walk in...” The triumphis that they can take this unconnected ideaand make it work in context and make itvery funny.Karol Kent is our barefoot heroine here.Kent, who has a devilish face, seemedsomewhat restrained to some of her char¬acterizations. A» Doris she is appropriate¬ly confused and bemused as she meets thelike of Raoul, the ultimate shoe salesmanand the Dr. Scholl. The other two membersof the group are Mark Nutter who is re¬sponsible for the plethora of wonderfullysharp songs which hold the whole eveningtogether. And last but not least is RussFlack who ends up mostly to minor rolesbut triumps as Harry Dump, a third ratecomic who tetis nothing but toilet jokes.The show is directed by Rob Riley who iscurrently on the writing staff of SaturdayNight Live.At this point the group seems (cliche A scene in which a man manipulates hisown foot in order to ob tain an oddly satisfying pleasure. A woman (read victim) lookson in entranced horror.ahead) a gem in the raw—loads of talentbut somewhat undisciplined and undirect¬ed. With the kind of reviews they havebeen getting expectations are going to de¬mand that they get great fast. It is to behoped that the group keeps going at itsown pace developing their personalityand style. But while they do that, theircurrent work is more than worth a look.Zoo Plate Special is highly recommendedespecially for those with an interest to thepossibilities in musical comedy (Take noteBlackfriars).

Performances are Thursdaythrough Sunday (tickets are $10 Thursdayand Sunday; 12 on Friday and Saturday).MIKHAIL!by Alex KolkerAs the story goes, director/producerTaylor Hackford wanted, at this juncturein his young but already impressive ca¬reer (The Idolmaker, An Officer and a Gen¬tleman, Against All Odds), to make adance movie. He first enlisted the talentsof the two greatest dancers he could thinkof — Mikhail Baryshnikov and GregoryHines. When both of them had agreed towork on Hackford’s project, Hackfordbegan looking for a writer to come up witha story within which Baryshnikov andHines could dance. The two dancers hadthe power to veto any story ideas Hack-ford’s writers could come up with. Whenthey finally had a plot that all three mencould agree upon, a script was drawn up, acast selected, locations chosen and a moviewas made.The result is White Nights, which is duefor release this weekend. It is the story ofNikolai Rodchenko (Baryshnikov), a Rus¬sian ballet dancer who has defected to theUnited States, whose London-Tokyo flightcrash-lands in Siberia. The KGB recognizeshim immediately and decides to attempt apublic relations coup by keeping Rodchen¬ko in Russia, seemingly of his own freewill. Raymond Greenwood (Hines), a NewYork tap dancer, one of the many Ameri¬can Gl’s who deserted during the VietnamWar and defected to Russia, is charged bythe KGB to prepare Rodchenko for onefinal, well-propagandized performance inLeningrad before Rodchenko is takenaway for a KGB “de-briefing.” As the filmprogresses the two men compare their de¬fections and their heritages, gain respectfor each other’s talents, and eventuallyovercome their differences and becomefriends.Taylor Hackford’s direction is superb,even though it betrays the fact that hisearly work was in film documentaries. Thecamera, for the most part, is stationaryand unobstrusive — it views the action,but does not react to it. In the dance se¬quences, however, Hackford allows hiscamera to move, and he is very careful tofully capture the total grace of his twodancers’ very difference dance styles. Op¬posing current dance film techniques, suchas those of Flashdance and Footloose,Hackford returns to the dance film tech¬ niques of the Fred Astaire era, centeringMs dance sequences with sweeping full-body shots. The music, always a vttai partof a Hackford film, is well-chosen and well-placed.^ Hackford’s experience with docu¬mentaries comes in most useful when oneconsiders the fact that four of the six mainplayers in White Nights are not reallyactors. His work with non-actors in thepast has ted him to a more ‘naturalistic’approach in all his films, ‘f tried,’ he says,‘to get people to reveal themselves oncamera.’ In White Nights Hackford directstwo dancers, a model, and a fellow direc¬tor, and yet the pace moves well, and theemotion and tension are real; the castmeshes and interacts almost flawlessly.Baryshnikov (the man who makes mus¬cle control an art, the man who makeslooking at his watch a fascinating series ofmovements), in preparing for this, his first leading dramatic role, studied for twomonths under Sandra Seacai of the ActorsStudio, but for White Nights he drawsmainly from his own emotions and his ownexperiences as a Russian defector. His de¬livery never faulters; his performance isnever cflched and it never rings false — Itwalks the very fine line in between. Be¬sides, his onscreen presence is so powerfulwe cannot help but like him. Hines, withfour other movies under his belt (see If youcan name them all) gives his best perfor¬mance to date by far. He plays RaymondGreenwood with an anger and bitternessthat smolders and explodes. It is so realthat we never doubt for a moment howmuch it is eating Greenwood away inside.Especially impressive is the scene in whichhe gives a drunken speech about his defec¬tion to the Soviet Union.Together or apart, Baryshnikov andOK, Mikhail, show some more expression in those thighs —beautiful. Greg, baby, you’regreat, now look more...anguished. Love it, love it. Hines shine, but they never, jn any way,upstage the supporting cast. Model Isa¬bella Rossellini (who, unfortunately is,most famous for being Ingrid Bergman’sdaughter) gives a nicety understated — ifslightly cliched — performance as Darya,Raymond’s Russian wife. Polish expatri¬ate and director Jerzy Skoiimowski is ap¬propriately sleazy as KGB Colonel Chalk©When he is onscreen you hate him, but youlove watching him. Actress Helen Mirren(Excalibur, 2010, Cal) is woefully un¬derused as Galina Ivanova — the Russiangirlfriend that Rodchenko left behind inRussia. Mirren is, as always, brilliant.Geraldine Page (Interiors, The Bride), asRodchenko’s New York promoter, is beau¬tifully New York and promoter-like.The various dances in the film arechoreographed by various people, includ¬ing Hines and Baryshnikov themselves,but all under the watchful eye of TwylaTharp (with a name like that what otherline of work could she be in?) ‘I didn’t wantthe dramatic action to stop for the dancenumbers,’ Hackford says. Indeed itdoesn’t, and because of this the variousdances dramatically display the angerand the tension that both Rodchenko andGreenwood feel. Tharp gives us the acro¬batics and sad grace of Baryshnikov sRodchenko, the power and the incredibleanger of Hines’ Greenwood, and, in thefinal dance of the movie, competition- andmutual respect, as Baryshnikov and Hines,finally, dance together. Especially unfor¬gettable is the power Baryshnkov dis¬plays when, in an attempt to show Galinathe type of dancing he could do in the Westthat he could never do in Russia, Rodchen¬ko dances hauntingly to Vladmir Vy¬sotsky’s “The Horses.”When asked what effect the currentRambo trend in movies had on his filmHackford sighs wearily. The concept forWhite Nights, he explains, originatedthree years ago. If his film is made a pariof the Rambo trend, it is merely a case olbeing in the wrong place at the wrongtime. The film in itself is not incredibly po¬litical — Rodchenko left Russia to seek ar¬tistic freedom, and Greenwood defectedto Russia in protest of the United State'sinvolvement in Vietnam. Though the goodguys are incredibly good and the bad guys— namely: the KGB — are incredibly bad,the only real political statement made isone of freedom of artistic expression.That's not the main theme of the movie.The plot is a little small, but the acting,cinematography, and dance more thanmake up for it. Although White Nights isnot quite as commercially geared as Hack¬ford’s Officer and a Gentleman or AgainstAll Odds, and therefore may not be asmonetarily successful, it is a well-craftedand completely worthwhile film. It is not afilm to miss.GRFY CITY JOtiRNAt —FRIDAY NOVFMBFR 15 1985—7Over 45 years of professional servicewill assure your satisfactionBeautiful Eyes are yours from only$8800Bausch & Lomb Soft Lenses• Extended Wear •Tinted Lenses•Astigmatic Lenses •Bifocals• All Brands Of Gas Permeable LensesSOLUTIONS, STERILIZING KITSFULL YEAR FOLLOW-UP SERVICEOptometrists: Dr. Joseph Ogulnick * Dr. Kurt Rosenbaumfcobttm S<f*Eye Examinations, Fashion Eyewear, Contact Lenses493-83721200 E. 53RD STALWAYS CONVENIENT PARKING 752-1253KIMBARK PLAZADaily: 9-6Sat: 9-3 30By appointment CHiC'GoLITERARY REVIEWBad POETRYGOOD POETRY$33 for The Best Poem$33 for The Worst Poem$33 for The Greatest DisparityBetween Two PoemsContest' Rules: Poets must clearly mark the category in which they are entering their poerots)The same poem may not be entered in more than one category, except in the case where a poet,having entered poems in (fit first two categories, wishes to submit the pair for consideration in thethird.

Mishimasought political action as a means tocounter what he called the “seif-evidentdecay” of contemporary Japan. Not onlydoes Schrader provide the viewer with anample display of Mishima’s obsession withpurity, but he also manufactures a psycho¬logical reality to explain away Mishima’sradical departure from postwar Japanesesociety.The film is divided into four “chapters”:beauty, art, action, and harmony of penand sword. Except for the last, each“chapter” revolves around excerpts fromsome of Mishima’s literary works: TheTemple of the Golden Pavilion, Kyoko’s privy to 1grand icence <’his yjectedWar II)(whereintegracharactefinal chapterseizing control of an _ JR|.to lecture its troops about their tradition¬al duty.

For Instance. Schrader assumest.wt Miamrna embodied a divided sc't. Inscene after scene the viewer witnessesMishima’s preoccupation with his socialface in opposition to his inner purity. Yet Ithink these conflicts cannot be resolvedentirely on the psychological level. Be¬cause Schrader confines himself solely tothe “internal” view of the cult figure andignores the dialectic between society andits outsiders, Mishima fails as art-as-so-cial-statement. What results is a film thattrivializes Mishima’s struggle against so¬ciety through apotheosis. Rather than re¬veal just what effect Mishima’s social rolehas on him and on his society, Schrader fo¬cuses instead on Mishima’s conversationswith himself. We are thus asked to acceptthese conversations as significant arti¬facts. But even Mishima himself regardedwords as deceptive. Thus, Schrader em¬phasizes the abstract over the contextualand in doing so renders Mishima foreveron stage. There is no backstage in Mishi¬ma, only an endless series of eccentric re-levations, as if Mishima were forevertrapped in a lifeless monologue.• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••A>•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••SIBK~0HVHSHIIVIA?HI\ftiY^IOT-flEAEhAI\hARTIGLE^AB0UTby Carole ByrdEleven years ago, Rosalinde Vorne sawher first traditional belly-dancers inGreece on an archeological tour of thecountry. At first glance, her interest andintrigue awakened and she returned hometo begin taking classes in “Belly-ology,”as she calls it, at Wright College. “When Ifirst saw that dancer in Athens,” saysVorne, “I knew that it was something Icould really do.” In August of 1983, Vorneformed her own group, Rosalinde and theDalaal Dancers with whom she has dancedaround the country and the world includ¬ing Egypt, Central Asia, Turkey, Greeceand Indonesia. The belly dance comes inmany forms and styles: Arabic, Turkishand Tuaric (from the Southern Sahara).Vorne says that though the dance origina¬ted in ancient Egypt, it was brought by theTurks during the Ottoman Empire to mostcountries in the Middle East, and hasformed an integral part of that culturesince that time.Vorne has an M.A. from the Universityof Chicago in Middle Eastern Studies. Heracademic interest in the Middle East camedirectly from her interest in the bellydance. She worked for ten years at theOriental Institute before enrolling in theUniversity. When asked about why shewas so attracted to dance and has devot¬ed the last ten years of her life to teaching and performing, Vorne says that she wasoriginally a frustrated housewife lookingfor alternatives. After hearing the famousIsraeli singer Shoshama Damary here inChicago and seeing the belly dance inAthens, she was hooked. “The otherthing,” says Vorne, “is that you can’t be¬lieve how easy it was for me to bellydance, it was like coming home. I really be¬lieve that in some other life I was in theMiddle East. All over the Middle East,they love my dancing — I just have to hearthe music and its there.”Respectability has been a problem forbelly dancers here in America in the past,says Vorne, but some of that seems to bechanging with the broader cultural aware¬ness that Americans are gaining as resultof the constant news reports on the MiddleEast. However, culturally, the belly danceis not primarily a flirtatious dance. “Bellydancing is not sex-oriented at all,” saysVorne. “It’s only the Americans who haveadded the sexual connotations to thedance.” The belly dance is women dancingwith each other, says Vorne, "without aman in sight. We don’t dance to turn menon,” she says, but instead “because it’s avery natural way for women to move.”Every wedding and birthday is celebrated with a belly dancer, but regardless of itspopularity, the dance is difficult to trace.The belly dance has definitely been usedto strengthen women’s muscles in pre¬paration for childbirth, so it most proba¬bly developed out of some early fertilityrituals, says Vorne. But belly dancing isnot exclusively for women. In Egypt, mentie scarfs around their waists and makethe same gyroscopic motions as women. Asa teacher for her company and classes, Ro¬salinde stresses the individuality of eachdancer and the variety of forms in bellydancing. Each woman chooses her musicand costume from a particular area of theMiddle East and then creates and choreo¬graphs her own dance. “I emphasizechoosing and interrupting,” says Vorne, “Idon’t want a group of chorus girls. I feelthat the dance is good for the soul — anydance is good for the soul! My philosophyis that whatever you work at in this worldwill be talent in the next. That’s why I en¬courage the dancers to create for them¬selves.” Vorne says that she really enjoysdancing with women, and for women. Herclasses become the highlight of the weekfor her students.

Talk ofarms control, stabilizing international ten¬sion and averting nuclear holocaust willfill the airwaves. Yet in reality right now-both the US and Soviets are carrying outme most massive peacetime'' militarybuildups in their history. "Arms control"offers are deliberately designed to elicitrejection by the other side. For example,Reagan has already made clear that theStar Wars program is strictly non-negoti-able. -Wore than 6000 times the US andUSSR have met in the arms talks in the lastquarter century—with no actual reductionin arms. And this time around, both sidesnave even told us what to expect from thecoming meeting: nothing.Some say, "At least it’s better that theyare faikmg than dropping bombs. It maybuy ai little time for the world.” No, 1 don'tthink so. The very purpose of these talks isto pacify opposition and secure public sup-oort on the home front in order to prepareor^ hot prevent,, world war.

By deliberately put¬ting Star Wars on the front burner, the USis seeking nothing less than to legitimateStar Wars in the public eye by making itthe object of the arms control process! Andthe fact that this is the prime issue todaysays something about what time it is. Forthis newly-named "Peace Shield" is a keycomponent in the current US warfightingstrategy of "decapitation" aimed at de¬stroying the command, control and com¬munications network of the Soviet Union ina devastating first strike. Far from put¬ting an end to the threat of nuclear terror,Star Wars is to be the shield that goesalong with the sword of intercontinentalballistic missiles, and its real mission is. tocomplement an offensive strike by pickingoff enemy missiles that survive. . :I am thrilled to see the growing numberof scientists who are publicly refusing com¬plicity with the making of WW 3 by sayingno to working on the Star Wars projectsproliferating on campuses all over thecountry.

While the editorsand ^ writers differ in their attitudestoward personal development and politi¬cal action as men, they do agree on oneissue: men cannot be feminists, althoughthey can have a deep personal and politi¬cal commitment to the goals of differentfeminist movements. The pressing issuesfor men committed to ending discrimina¬tion and violence against women involvechanging their own attitudes and behav¬iors, the institutions they participate in,and the advantages they share with othermen."We in the men’s movement are all sex¬ual outlaws,” writes Fred Small "sissies,gays, bisexuals, egalitarians, nudists,abortionists, sodomists, pacifists” <p.8).That short sentence — defining the charac¬ter of the men’s movement — capsulizes amajor pre-occupation of these writers: thewords and images men have to describethemselves, their bodies, their activities,and how that discourse contributes to themaking of men and the oppression ofwomen. The men’s movement, for examp¬le, was originally split into two differentlynamed groups: the men’s liberation move¬ment and the anti-sexist men’s movement.Many men were offended by the compari¬son implicit in a "liberation” for men:women’s global economic and sexual op¬pression was being compared to the emo¬tional limitations of the male ego. "Anti¬sexist” won out. Changing Men itself wasoriginally given the precious title M. gent¬le men for gender justice. The theme of theFall 1985 issue is "Men Confronting Porno¬graphy" and it deals with the relationshipof male discourse to male sexuality, "offantasy to behavior, of pornography tosex, of image to attitude" (inside cover),and the mitigating effects of "sensitivemale" discourse.Changing Men is not an academic journalby any means. This issue contains politicalessays and personal narratives, both ofwhich emphasize men's feelings about por¬nography. Inevitably each writer con¬fronts his own complicity in pornographicdiscourse. A scan of the first paragraph of"Pornography and _ jnsorship" reveals "Ishoulder two burdens: guilt and fear.,.Ifeel guilty...painful,..I worry...hurt” (p.7). True to heart as such a confession canbe. such indulgence can become annoying.The writer, who feels bad about patriar¬ chy and the historical oppr"s«ioh ©f• '■ ' v 'rtfierdhy in a differentI con-vJjBfc Over circumstances beyor i hi# p0W©r'as a contemporary anti-sexist man. In¬deed, the'desire and ability to control;•> — history, other people's behavior#and attitudes — is the crux of the patriar¬chal privilege.The poem "t Love My Self” by AuroraCorona (a man) reveals another picture ofmen's participation in' pornographic dis¬course it shows how fbe words andimages of pornography create a man’sself-conception. The poem begins "i lovemy self/ i love my body/ i love my cock”and the next thirty-three lines are abouthis penis. It contains such subtle languageas:when my cock suddenly flames to burst¬ingwhen my lava come erupts when my hotsyrup spitwhen my man juice gushes when drops ofliquid love splash(p.28)The title of the poem suggests that thewriter intends to deal with another popu¬lar anti-sexist men’s theme — how mancan love and grow spiritually in spite of anemotionally limiting socialization — andsuddenly (literally) spring on the readerthe image of the ‘ ‘penis-with-a-life-of-its’*own,” a beast that resembles the Tazman-ian Devil more than an organ between aman’s legs. It is an image borrowed frommen’s magazines like Penthouse.In "Workshops on Pornography.” JohnStoltenberg creates an exercise whichstresses the relationship of image to de¬sire. He asks the male participants to “dothe pose” in the photography from a por¬nographic magazine. As they struggle, theother participants give directions to themto imitate the woman in the picture. After¬wards, they have a discussion, says Stol¬tenberg, “on a recognition of the humilia¬tion and vulnerability and total lack ofbody integrity that was supposed to be‘sexy’ when shown in the photograph butclearly degrading to be experienced"<p.11). He invented the exercise to helpthe men in consciousness-raising work¬shops confront the unreal eroticism of thepictures in such magazines.Changing Men reclaims men’s subjectiveexperience of the world as feeling individ¬uals. The writers have a sincere commit¬ment to political action beyond individualconsciousness-raising: canvassing, organ¬izing and picketing against rape andwoman-battering; educating each otherabout pornography and rape, etc. Their"sensitive male" discourse can be annoy¬ing and it is easy to make fun of it: fewimages are as laughable as the teary, sen¬sitive guy, the effeminate man or thewhiny self-righteous liberal. ChangingMen — like the anti-sexist men’s move¬ment — includes (and embraces) them all;at the same time, it tries to explode thosestereotypes from the inside — that is,from inside the minds of men trained toperpetuate the joke.Textbook DepartmentUniversity of Chicago Bookstore970 E. 58th St.962-7116Textbook Orders forWinter Quarter.November 22nd is thedeadline for Winter 86textbook orders.If you are teaching nextquarter, please send us yourorder today.

It doesn’t shine for me anymore. I still watchthe show each night, though I’m cut off from thereal life inside. The cheaply printed blond ticketscost less now. The price I asked was too great. Theplays aren’t as good, nor the lights quite as bright.The audience is larger but the applause seemsmore slight.There is no relief in the cool air outside,And I am so very angry at the gum stains on thesidewalk.My fate is made of tickets I choose to buy,I think for a moment as my attendant hands memine.I settle down with my paper on a hard greenstained bench.It makes me remember.Is it really two blocks to the theatre?I ask and look at my stained fingers.Was it my paper or the ticket, I’m not sure.I won’t go back unless I’m asked andMy train is leaving at twelve.12—FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1985—GREY CITY JOURNAL
