INSIDE: FOTQStudent tutoring 'hot and not' issuepage three page seven BIG FAT NEMESISINSIDE GCJPOST-MODERNISMSHRIEKBACKREAGANThe Chicago MaroonVolume 97, No. 22 The University of Chicago ©Copyright 1985 Friday, November 22, 1985Mandela nominated for PickBy Sam D. MillerStaff WriterApproximately twenty U of Cfaculty members have followedthe initiative of Faculty for Di¬vestment of South Africa (FDSA)by recommending Nelson Mande¬la for the Pick Lectureship.Sixty-seven year old Mandelawas imprisoned by South Africa’sapartheid Pretoria regime overtwo decades ago on charges ofsabotage and subversion. Todaythe former head of the outlawedAfrican National Congress re¬mains behind bars as one of SouthAfrica’s most well-known blackactivists.The Pick Lectureship, as de¬scribed by the University Presi¬dent Hanna Gray, is intended to“provide a forum for individualsof international reputation tospeak within the University com¬munity on matters of world con¬cern.” The lecturer should be aninternationally experienced polit¬ical leader, a prominent scholaron international matters, or aleader of an international move¬ment or organization.Regardless of the categoryunder which the lecturer falls,the speaker must discuss a topic-pertinent to international af¬fairs. Headed by Karl Weintraub, theThomas S. Donnelley Distin¬guished Service professor, the Se¬lection Committee received allfaculty recommendations by Oc¬tober 15. It has not presented itsfinal suggestions to PresidentGray, who will ultimately choosethe lecturer. She has not yet de¬termined a date for the lecture.The FDSA believes that Man¬dela would be an appropriatespeaker. In a letter to the Selec¬tion Committee forwarded bySecretary Terence Turner, theFDSA says that “Mandela quali¬fies under the announced criteriafor the Pick Lectureship.” Whilecollectively and unanimouslypromoting Mandela, the FDSAsaid they realize that his releasefrom prison would be highly un¬likely if he were selected. Theyadd, though, that this “should beno obstacle to the University’s in¬viting him.”According to the group, his no¬mination alone would benefit theUniversity by making a state¬ment to South Africa. The invita¬tion would show, adds Turner,that “the University regards theAfrican National Congress asplaying a crucial role” in SouthAfrica. Also, he argues, the Uni¬versity would “send a message to South Africa stating that we (US)haven’t forgotten the problems inthat country,” by choosing Man¬dela.If he were chosen, the FDSAhas proposed three possible alter¬natives to having Mandela visitthe U of C himself, which theyadmit is an almost certain impos¬sibility. A speech written by Man¬dela could be given here in proxy,a video of Mandela in prisoncould be shown here, or his wifeWinnie Mandela could appear onhis behalf. Mandela has madesome contact outside of prison inrecent months.Whether any of these alterna¬tives could happen here is uncer¬tain. Pieter Schablert, the Consu¬late Vice-General of SouthAfrica, says that if the lecture¬ship were extended to Mandelaand his presence requested, the Uof C would have to “approach hisgovernment in Pretoria” for per¬mission. Citing the “unusual cir¬cumstances of the request.”Schablert further claims thathe would need a “consultationwith the Department of Justiceand Prison Council” of SouthAfrica to determine what couldand could no be allowed. He hasnot indicated what results suchconsultations might yield.Jobs there for liberal arts gradsBy Katie FoxContributing WriterCollege seniors wondering howto market their liberal arts de¬grees in the business or profes¬sional world should take heart.An increasing number of cor¬porate recruiters are interestedin University of Chicago collegeseniors and both campus place¬ment directors and business re¬cruiters suggest that a liberalarts major may be an asset forcorporate job seeker — especial¬ly when combined with an MBA.Seventy five to eighty organiza¬tions will participate in the oncampus recruiting program thisyear, up from 35 two years ago,according to Joan McDonald, stu¬dent employment coordinator ofthe Career and Placement Ser¬vices office. Seventy percent arefinancial services industries suchas banks or brokerage houses andthe rest are non-profit groups,government agencies, public re¬ lations firms, insurance compa¬nies and other businesses.Fourteen percent of the 241 stu¬dents who interviewed on campuslast year were offered jobs, onepercentage point above the na¬tional average for liberal arts col¬leges. The student’s majordoesn’t usually matter, saidMcDonald. Rather, companiesare “looking for someone who isintelligent and can become prod¬uctive after a six or nine-monthtraining program.”By comparison 234 companiesrecruited for permanent posi¬tions at the Graduate School ofBusiness last year and 66% of lastyear’s graduates responding toquestionnaires attributed theirjobs to on-campus recruiting.Whether or not they visit thecampus, most businesses arewilling to consider liberal artsBAs, although not for the samepositions and salaries as MBAs,according to Barbara McGloin, director of placement in theGraduate School of Business. Sixout of the seven banks and cor¬porations (Continental, Harris,Kidder Peabody, Kraft, MerrillLynch, Capital Markets, North¬western Mutual Life) contactedfor this article said they would beopen to hiring a recent liberalarts graduate — the exception,AT&T Communications, looks fortechnical skills — although not allseven recruit here.Kevin Coleman, College Rela¬tions Manager for ContinentalBank, said the best potential em¬ployee is a “well rounded personwith business orientation skills”— a liberal arts major who goeson for an MBA.McGloin agreed that a liberalarts BA, a few years in the jobmarket then an MBA is the stron¬gest preparation for a businesscareer. McDonald pointed to a“new trend” in corporate man¬agement training programs. Con¬sulting firms or banks hire recentgraduates for two years, expect¬ing that they will then return forbusiness degrees, often with thecompany’s help.The bad news for history or En¬glish majors seeking jobs in busi¬ness is that while top manage¬ment extol the values of a liberalarts eduction, the people who ac¬tually do the hiring may be mid¬dle managers who are them¬selves under pressure to meetquotas and deadlines and there¬fore look for new employees whothey believe have the business ortechnical skills to start producingresults immediately. “I hear itfrom companies a lot,” saidMcGloin.Jane Dennett, Director of Re¬cruiting and Training at theThomas A.

Staterepresentative Barbara FlynnCurrie will run for reelectionwhile in the twenty-fifth district,a major contest is developing forthe seat to be vacated by CarolMoseley Braun, who is runningfor lieutenant governor.A1 Raby, director of MayorWashington’s Commission onHuman Relations, and TrinaSmith, administrative assistantto Alderman Eugene Sawyer (4thWard) have announced their can¬didacies for Braun’s seat. Ac¬cording to Fifth Ward Democrat¬ic Committeeman Alan Dobry,Ray “has to be considered thefront-runner because of his prom¬inence.” Dobry. who is now circu¬lating nominating petitions forhim, said that, “I’m workingvery hard for A1 Raby. As FifthWard Committeeman I'm very-interested in w ho represents two-thirds of the ward.”Dobry also noted that MayorHarold Washington “told A1 to goahead and run although that's notan endorsement.” Raby servedas campaign manager for Wash¬ington during part of the latter’s1983 mayoral campaign. Raby’spolitical involvement dates backto the late sixties and early se¬venties when he was active in thecivil rights movement and a dele¬gate to the state constitutionalconvention. He was narrowly de¬ feated in a 1975 bid for the FifthWard aldermanic seat now occu¬pied by Larry Bloom, and in the1983 contest for Harold Washing¬ton's congressional seat.Smith, who has also begun fil¬ing nominating petitions and hassent an announcement of her can¬didacy to several local newspa¬pers. objected to the suggestionthat Raby would have a strongadvantage in the race. “I'myoung blood and I’m young spirit.I’m interested in the future of mycommunity and I feel I’ve got so¬methin to offer.” Smith is sup¬ported by Alderman Sawyer, forwhom she has worked for sixyears, and Seventh Ward Aider-man Beaver. She was Beaver'spublic relations director in his al¬dermanic election.Also considering running is Ro-scoe King, former president ofthe Friends of Jackson Park andfounder of the Washington ParkAdvisory- Council. King, a long¬time supporter of Carol Braun,plans to officially announce hiscandidacy as soon as his petitionsare complete. Despite his associ¬ation with Braun, King statedthat he did not seek or expect herendorsement. “She should enjoythe support of the entire Demo¬cratic organization,” he com¬mented.Molly Bartlett, administrativeassistant for Braun, said that therepresentative would not be en¬dorsing anyone in the primary.Although there has been exten¬sive speculation about other poss¬ible candidates, it does not ap-continued on page three5850 S.

Yet, more than one out of fiveadults in America are functionally illiter¬ate.The SG Literacy Tutoring Program wasstarted by the committee to provide all in¬terested students with the opportunity totutor either on or near campus. The pro¬gram also aims to increase public aware¬ness of the extent of the problem, said Star-ley Shade co-chair of the StudentGovernment Relations Committee. “Lots of people are concerned about South Africa;why not get involved in a program that’sright here?”The SG Literacy project arranges tutortraining on campus by the Literacy Volun¬teers of Chicago, which matches tutors withtutees, and keeps track of their progress.The trainings consist of two consecutiveSaturday sessions from 10 am to 3 pm, cov¬ering teaching techniques and skills, lessonplanning, and a practicum. About 25 peopleshowed up for the traning on Novemberninth and 16th, and will begin tutoring afterWinter Break. The tutoring itself requirestwo to three hours a week with the studentfor at least six months, and preferably for a whole year.Last year, 35 of the 50 tutors trained werestill active at the end of the year. Citing so¬cial barriers between tutors and tutees as amajor obstacle, Starley plans to have sup¬port services for U of C students active inthe program, which she hopes will reducethe attrition rate. However, she is optimis¬tic about prospects for this year.There are still 200 people on the waitinglist to be tutored, so another training isbeing planned for the second and thirdweekends of Winter Quarter.

PodestaEfforts to make people conform to oneparticular position or ideology are almostalways justified with lofty-sounding rheto¬ric, such as the need to protect our countryfrom subversion, or the need to preserveorder. The New Right has just come up witha new excuse for intimidating those whodon’t agree with its ideology: to protect col¬lege students from “misinformed” or “in¬accurate” teaching.This fall, a new national organization wasfounded called “Accuracy in Academia.”While AIA claims to “combat the dissemin¬ation of misinformation” on our college anduniversity campuses, it epitomizes the NewRight's theory of education, in which di¬verse points of view and the free flow ofideas are seen as un-American activities.AIA’s founder, Reed Irvine, has headedup an organization for the past 16 years en¬titled “Accuracy in Media,” whose purposeis to intimidate and harass the members ofthe media who don’t agree with his right-wing views. Irvine has built his reputation,and a $1 million organization, on the prin¬ciple that there is only one “accurate” wayfor a journalist to cover a story. Now he’sdecided there’s only one “right” way for aprofessor to teach a course.When “Accuracy in Academia” was an¬nounced this summer, many were horrifiedby its rhetoric, but few took it seriously.AIA, however, is emerging as a formidableinstitution. It already has volunteers onabout 130 campuses across the country, andhas raised $50,000 of a $160,000 annual bud¬get. Now AIA has hired as its new director aformer New York Congressman, John Le-Boutillier, whose skill at fundraising ismatched only by his talent at red-baitingthose with whom he disagrees.When LeBoutillier warns against creep¬ing socialism, he’s referring to activities bymembers of the Democratic Party leader¬ship, like House Speaker Tip O’Neill. Ac¬cording to LeBoutillier, former presidentialcontender Senator George McGovern is“scum.” When he talks about radical brain¬washing, he’s talking about what Harvardprofessors did to him. LeBoutillier contendsthat leading American journalists and nu¬merous liberal groups are pawns in a Sovi¬et-sponsored “disinformation” campaign,and while in Congress, co-sponsored a billthat would have created a House subcom¬mittee on internal security.Given AIA’s founder and new director, itcomes as no surprise that this new watch¬dog group isn’t concerned, as the name sug¬gests, with upgrading the quality of educa¬tion at our nation’s institutions of higherlearning. It’s not interested in encouragingacademic freedom or balance in theclassroom. Instead, it is designed to intimi¬ date those who are teaching what AIA’sfirst director, Malcolm Lawrence, calls “in¬correct information which leads to conclu¬sions that may be distasteful from the pointof view of our national heritage or nationalsecurity...Just plain bad facts.”Take, for example. Dr. Mark Reader’s po¬litical science course at Arizona State Uni¬versity. According to AIA, it constitutes“anti-nuclear proproganda” because itoveremphasizes such things as ‘fears of nu¬clear war, power and weapons.” It isn’t“verifiable” facts AIA is worried about, it’s“bad” facts. Take Cynthia McClintock, anassociate professor of political science atGeorge Washington University. Her coursesyllabus includes US government papersand a textbook put out by the conservativeHoover Institution. But she’s on AIA’s hitlist because she shows a film that is criticalof the US-backed contras in Nicaragua.AIA “logic” dictates that there is only onecorrect way to teach students about our in¬volvement in Vietnam; there is only onetrue cause of the Civil War; and there isonly one acceptable interpretation ofFranklin Roosevelt’s presidency. And if aprofessor doesn’t toe AIA’s line, he or shewill be investigated by AIA, perhaps pres¬sured to change the content of the course, orvilified in AIA’s new national newsletter.And it’s not just professors who are beingintimidated. Students will wonder if theirfuture might suffer by asking questions orrevealing their political beliefs and ideas.Such chilling activities are highly inap¬propriate anywhere. They seem particular¬ly offensive on a university campus, whereteaching different viewpoints and interpre¬tations is an integral part of the educationprocess. The losers in AIA’s efforts are ul¬timately the students.Any effort to limit the exchange of ideasleads to the “dumbing down” of educationas a whole. Those who are trying to keep“biased” facts or “bad” ideas out of the col¬lege classroom are following in the traditionof those who want to keep the teaching ofevolution out of high school science classes,and who want to censor Shakespeare’sRomeo and Juliet. They have forgotten thatthe purpose of education is to teach studentsto grapple with complexities and learn howto think. Not, as Reed Irvine would have it,what to think.Anthony T. Podesta is president of PEO¬PLE FOR THE AMERICAN WAY, a200,000-member nonpartisan citizens orga¬nization concerned with protecting constitu¬tional liberties, including the freedom tolearn. An attorney and educator, Podestawas a political science instructor and direc¬tor of admissions at Barat College of theSacred Heart in Lake Forest, Illinois. By Les Csorba andMatthew ScullyFor all its consolations the intellectual lifecan turn a man toward many strange illu¬sions. Listen for example to a comment byProfessor Terry Anderson of Texas A&M,quoted recently in Campus Review maga¬zine. It is the kind of thing we have come toexpect from the gentlemen of the academy:“I do not believe in the institution of mar¬riage. I am an atheist, and I do not claimany political party. I am not patriotictoward Texas A&M, the flag, or America.”Well put, Terry, Lucifer himself could nothave framed his credo any better. But suchan erudite comment makes us wonder justwhat a man does revere who has no wife orparty or country or God. What’s left buthimself? Not too long ago, advancedthinkers like Terry were heard mutteringon street corners as they passed out theirleaflets and manifestoes. Now they becomecollege professors.There is something awfully sad in that.Somewhere back they just lost their way,these men of learning. What would old Aris¬totle have made of them, with all theirwindy doctrines and fashionable ideologicalcauses? Here is a man, a scholar, whoemerges from his years of study and soli¬tary reflection only to head straight over tothe fever swamps. All he can do with thatfine intellect is scoff or sniff disdainfully atjust about everything of any importance tothe rest of humanity. If we take him at hisword, then nothing in all his readings andscholarly meditations has ever touched himwith a love for the God who created him, theinstitutions which nurtured him, the flagwhich protects him or the society which con¬tinues to indulge him. Truly an inspirationalfigure to the youth of America.And such a precious asset to Texas A&M.How lucky they are to have him. No doubtthere are a few minor problems to accom¬modating a man of such bold and expansiveviews, such vision. Especially in theclassroom, where Terry Anderson freelyshares his beautiful message. There, atleast, he needn’t worry about rules im¬posed by others who just don’t share the vi¬sion, who just don’t see how special he is.Certainly he is free from closed-mind criti¬cism from outside. He apparently is uneasywith any kind of restraints on his behavior.Like so many others in his position, Terry’snot into rules or self-criticism. He’s gotother things on his mind.“If a student comes into my class andleaves four years later with the same atti¬tudes and beliefes that he came in with, thenI have failed.” And so has the student, morethan likely, for he seems to be a very de¬manding teacher. Now that quotation, takenagain from the campus magazine, is not ofitself reason for alarm. If it were Socratessaying it, why then we would have no objec¬tion at all. But Terry? Terry Anderson, thepatriot and model citizen? No, in that case ittakes on a new and slightly ominous mean¬ing. Professor Anderson may be a fine fel¬low: better than his principles, one hopes.But he does, you have to admit, have astrange way of looking at things.Try to keep Terry in mind as we go on toconsider the question of “academic free¬dom.” Offer them the privilege of exercis¬ing this right, and scholars of this sort comerushing up with all the restraint, dignity anderudition of hogs charging the morningtrough. And just try pulling the trough awayonce they’ve got their heads buried in it.They don’t enjoy this right; they consume ituntil there’s nothing left, and then oink formore. Professor Anderson may turn up hissnout when any other of our country’s insti¬tutions are offered him. But here’s some¬thing he can really wrap his jowls around.Sorting through the trough, he manages topull out this one delicate morsel — “aca¬demic freedom.”Cheap barnyard imagery is not very kind or elegant, but how else do you convey theimmoderation of these people in exercisingwhat is after all a very useful right? To putit in such terms brings us back to the basicproposition. We have here a man who is outof hand. Alas for him, there’s not much wecan do about his finicky ideological appe¬tite. He and the others become our concernonly when they take to acting out their innerturmoil in the classroom. What they think istheir business? What they teach is the busi¬ness of the community which supportsthem.Now Professor Anderson, to his credit, ispretty open and honest about his peculiarcredo. He at least levels with us, whereasmost of them prefer to stay under the brush.We know what he’s up to in class because hehas told us. He’s there to “challenge” hisstudents’ basic belief — although “deni¬grate” is probably the better word for it.Given this and what we already know abouthim, it is surely not unreasonable for who¬mever is paying Terry to decide whether ornot he’s got the right idea about his calling.Suppose your son or daughter is studyingunder him. Isn’t it, as a point of commonsense, your privilege to see that Terry goesnowhere near them? Or suppose you are inhis class and find that he talks of nothing butour society’s outdated institutions. Profes¬sor Anderson may not do this quite as com-plusively as some of his colleagues do withtheir all-important causes, but just supposehe does. Aren’t you entitled at some point toask him if he plans to move on to other sub¬jects, maybe even the subject of the course?You may risk wounding his scholarly sen¬sibilities. But are you denying him hisrights?Now here comes the point about academicfreedom, and let us see if we cannot thinkclearly about the whole business. Again,start with that would seem a point of com¬mon sense. The right of academic freedomis not the same as the right of free speech.To act as though they are identical is anevasion, a rhetorical ruse. Free speech isnot the issue at all, because no one is sayingthat these visionaries cannot go outside theclassroom and say anything they like. Thefallacy is to imagine that because they havethese rights, the rest of us automatically as¬sume an obligation to furnis them with themeans of exercising them. That just doesn’tfollow. “I have a right to profess my ownopinions” does not lead logically to “Andyou must hire me to do so. ”So the question becomes this. What arethe limits of academic freedom, if it has anylimits at all? And the only way to determinethe limits of any right is to ask yourselfwhat its purpose is. What is the purpose ofacademic freedom? Why are teachersgranted this right?Well, surely it was not for their own ben¬efit alone. Universities were not set uparound the country merely to provide mal¬contents with a means of registering theirgrievances against society. There areothers involved here; their students, for in¬stance. Presumably teachers enjoy thisright so that they can teach, and if they’renot using it for that purpose then the rightsimply does not apply. Academic freedomserves an academic purpose, not an ideolog¬ical one. Some of these people have got theidea that academic freedom is simply ameans we use to protect and nurture suchvaluable national assets as themselves. Andindeed, they can be an asset, but only in sofar as they perform the service of educa¬tion. As activists or spiritual counselorssuch as Professor Anderson they are of nouse whatever. It’s a simple as saying: Look,if you want to fight for the cause of worldrevolution, or nuclear disarmament, or so¬cial justice, or women’s rights, or environ¬mentalism, or whatever — very well, then,all the best to you.

Which will itbe?The usual answer to this gentle suggestionis easily dispensed with. “We are teaching,as we see fit,” they huff. “Our subjectshave to do with values, which after all aresubjective. We give our interpretation, andthat’s all we can do.”This is not only a sophism but an admis¬sion of professional incompetence. If it’s alla matter of interpretation, why then we areall equally qualified to teach a collegecourse. The argument destroys its own cre¬dentials. Think about it. Yes, of course aprofessor will inevitably have his own opin¬ions, and of course some things can betaught only by one’s own interpretaton. Buthis mere opinions are presumably not whatgot him the job in the first place, or whatqualify him to keep his position. There mustbe something more; some concrete knowl¬edge of his subject or discipline whichmakes him an expert worth listening to, andnot just another man with an opinion, sound¬ing off like the rest of us. In Professor An¬derson’s case, for example, it’s History — afairly tangible subject. There must besomething which confers a particular dig¬nity on the vocation.And what might that be? Well, let’s think.A narrow but useful formulation might bethis: whatever it is that a scholar and col¬lege professor is uniquely suited to — that iswhat he ought to be doing. And, given thedemands of those tasks, very little else.But the best way to judge this new breedof professor is to observe the kind of studenthe sends off into our midst. Take, for in¬stance, a couple of young idealists at theUniversity of Washington.Just after the Washington Spectator, aconservative alternative paper, announcedthat it would search out a few of UW’s ownpuffed up pedagogues, these students cameforward to propose the necessary mea¬sures. Their Resolution in the Student Asse¬mbly would “condemn” the paper, thusbringing down on the Spectator the fullmoral authority of the Student Assembly,and remove its odious presence from theStudent Union. To criticize our professorswould be a violation of academic freedom,wouldn’t it? So what else can we do shut thething down? And won’t we still have the UW Daily? The Daily is the regular campuspaper which has boasted of its “rock hardliberalism.” All these questions were on thefevered minds of young AssemblymenKeith Watenpaugh and Dennis MarcBehrend as they crafted their statesmanlikeResolution:“Whereas: the Washington Spectatorthrought its participation in a manner con¬current with Accuracy in Academia inten¬tions to subvert the above basic purpose(academic freedom) of this Universitythrough a morally rancid, McCarthyesquewitch hunt;“Be it resolved that: the ASUW StudentAssembly condemns the Washington Spec¬tator’s intentions and actions of advocation,producing, and printing judgemental evalu¬ations of University of Washington profes¬sors and those professors’ classes.”“Idealistic,” politically “conscious,” “in¬volved,” “non-judgmental,” passionatelyconcerned about “injustice” — and practi¬cally unintelligible. If you didn’t recognizethe cliches you would hardly know what theboy’s getting at. A fine lad, that Waten¬paugh. But he could put his unique abilitiesto better use over at the Daily, knownaround college newsrooms for its sedimen¬tary mixture of rock-hard liberalism andstone-solid illiteracy. You could not find amore representative product of a moderneducation. Burning with idealism, butscarcely able to put all his beautifulthoughts, his passion for freedom and toler¬ance, into a few coherent sentences.And this is why we all enjoy a good laughwhen Watenpaugh’s programmers striketheir scholarly poses at the slightest word ofcriticism. You see the game? Venture overthe line between scholarship and activism,and then tippy-toe back before anyone no¬tices. Squeal indignantly w'hen you’re notaccorded the deference and respect due ascholar, and then just sink your head rightback in the trough. And remember thistrick: the very same definition of academicfreedom which allows you to vent yourgrievances against society, insulates youfrom any criticism that may return yourway. You get respect, authority, an audi¬ence. And, best of all, no accompanyingduties to which you can be held.Les Csorba and Matthew Scully are. re¬spectively, the Executive and NationalDirectors of Accuracy in Academia.KMBARK LIQUORS 8 WINE SHOPPE1 “ SALE DATES 11/10-11/M/tS>1214 East 5Jrd Street • In Kimbark Plaza 493-3355O'KEEFE6-13 oz No ft* Bm TECATE6-12 OX CANS$3*9 BRISA6 12 o* No U* B»s$3*9IABA1TS LOWENBRAU BUDWEISER OiD STYLE$339 $g99 $799 AQ WITH $1 00^ ^ ▼ MAIL-INV RHLATE■ GALLO■ 4 UTEtI PETRI4 LITE*■I BAG=4 BEAUJOLAIS• ST.

PfefferContributing WriterA recent survey ranked the U of C’s Grad¬uate School of Business fifth among topAmerican business schools. Northwestern'sKellogg School of Business was rankedfirst.The survey questioned 250 of the largestUS companies in order to attain their re¬sults.An unusual aspect of the survey was itsmethod of evaluation. The schools receivednot only overall rankings but also subrank¬ings. For example, while MIT’s SloanSchool was rated 17th overall, it was chosenfirst in computer technology and informa¬tion skills.By Nick LanyiContributing WriterLaw Professor David P. Currie delivereda lecture on “Positive and Negative Con¬stitutional Rights” to a full house at the Law'School’s Kirkland Courtroom last Tuesday.The lecture dealt with the question ofwhether the rights guaranteed citizens bythe Constitution are stated by restrictingthe government’s actions (negatively) orrequiring the government to do something(positively).Currie, an expert on constitutional law,began by pointing out the US Constitutionseems to spell out the duties of governmentin negative terms, that it explains what thegovernment should not do rather than whatit should do. This contrasts directly withBy Hilary TillSenior News EditorFollowing the historic establishment ofthe University of Chicago’s first sorority,two College students are endeavoring to br¬ing a second women's fraternity here.U of C’s first women’s fraternity, AlphaOmicron Pi, will be officially installedSaturday. The fledgling sorority may soonhave a sister organization on campus.Sorority organizers Margie Thomas andDiane Chung, both third-year students inthe College, report that the president ofKappa Alpha Theta will be in Chicago onJanuary 11, 1986 to meet with students who John Gould, dean of the U of C’s BusinessSchool, cautioned against ignoring these su¬brankings. According to Gould, the dif¬ferent teaching methods of the variousschools make one more suited for a particu¬lar industry than another. He believes thatsubrankings may be more important thanthe overall ratings.The survey has attracted both positiveand negative criticism. Charles Hickman,director of development at the AmericanAssembly of Collegiate Schools of Businesssaid that he is generally suspicious of suchsurveys: “It’s like football rankings. Ifyou’re smart enough to really be able to sayhow seven is better than eight, you’resmarter than I am.” (Wall Street Journal).most modern constitutions, such as those ofWest Germany and France.The promise that the Constitution is abody of negatively stated rights seems atfirst glance to be supported by examiningcourt decisions concerning constitutionalrights, Currie explained. Most restrictgovernmental activity, and those that re¬quire the government to do something (suchas provide counsel for the accused ormedical care for the imprisoned) are basedon the negative constitutional requirementthat the government not deprive someone of“life, liberty, or property without due pro¬cess of law.” Thus, Currie asserted, con¬stitutional rights tend to be negative in mostcases.Presenting the other side of the picture.are interested in establishing a Thetachapter here.“I am really happy that Kappa AlphaTheta is giving us a look early next quarterbecause it is one of the oldest and largestGreek women's organizations (in the coun¬try),” Thomas asserted. “Their emphasison scholarship,” she continued, “is impor¬tant to fitting into the University of Chicagoatmosphere.”With a Theta chapter on the Northwesterncampus, the establishment of a Thetachapter here could lead to further social in¬teraction between students of the twouniversities. Thomas suggested. On the other hand, Donald P. Jacobs ofNorthwestern was pleased with the resultsof the survey.Although the survey has attracted someattention, it may not have a great impact onthe business world. Gary Beu, director ofArthur Anderson and Company, said “I cantell you this — we will not change our re¬cruiting efforts on the basis of that survey”(Sun-Times).The main impact of the survey may be onthe way schools view themselves. The su¬brankings make it possible for schools tosee how effective their teaching methodsare and how these methods could bechanged in order to make their graduateswell-suited for the business world.Currie demonstrated that some rights arepositive ones, however. Courts have, for ex¬ample, established that the governmentmust provide enforcement, through thecourts, for honoring contracts and for pro¬tecting private property. In addition, Currieasserted, many court decisions have placedconditions on positive government activity— for example, if the government providespublic parks, it must also protect the rightto free speech on those parks, and if thegovernment passes a law protecting somepeople from an evil, it must actively protectall people from that evil.Currie concluded that the Constitution isbasically made up of negatively statedrights, but that positive rights do exist as aresult of judicial interpretation.When asked why she wants to start a se¬cond women’s fraternity, Diane Chungresponded, “It would be nice to have a se¬cond sorority, so girls interested in joining asorority would have a choice.” She added:“Both sororities could complement eachother. Maybe in the future more sororitiescould be started.”But is there enough interest on campusfor two sororities? “Definitely,” Chungasserted. “Last year, we had at least fortygirls interested in joining our sorority ef¬fort,” she said. Job Outlookcontinued from page onerequiring technical skills but not for some¬thing like sales where, “being able to carryon a conversation is what matters.”“We’re looking for people who have theability to learn,” Dennett said. “MBA’smay become more frustrated becausethey’re trying to apply the theoreticalthings they’ve learned.”An advanced degree may not be neces¬sary for some professional fields, like edu¬cation or journalism.Graduate school is not a prerequisite forentry-level journalism jobs according topersonnel offices at the Chicago Tribune,ABC and NBC, although “journalismclasses help,” according to NBC. RuthSikes, account supervisor in charge of theinern program at Rudder, Finn and Rot-mann, a public relations firm that recruitson campus, said she looks for “sales ability,poise and good writing skills” more than agraduate degree.An advanced degree is also not a formalrequirement for teaching in either Chicagopublic or most private schools.

GeneralMotors supports this effortto reduce lead in the atmo¬sphere. Rut our customersneed to know how thisaction may affect theirvehicles.In simple terms, con¬tinue with the same gas- ioline you’ve been using, jYou probably won’t noticeany difference at your ser- Ivice station. Just be sure iyour gasoline meets the jrequirements below.For post-1971 modelcars and light trucks(less than 6,000 lbs.), jContinue to use unleadedgasoline only. The new jlower-lead limits for <leaded gasoline are stilltoo high: lead in gasolinewill harm the emission-control system.For 1971-74 modelcars and light trucks.Use either unleaded orthe new lower-lead gaso- jline. These vehicles were :designed to run on eitherone.For all pre-1971model cars and trucks.Use the new lower-leadgasolines. These vehiclesneed leaded gas to lubri¬cate exhaust valves. Thelead raises octane ratingsand helps to avoid “knock¬ing” and “pinging.” Thelead is most importantduring continuous high¬speed, high-load condi¬ tions such as towing aheavy trailer or large boatover a long distance. In apinch, you can even useunleaded gas for normaldriving.Tip: Use only enoughoctane to avoid frequentknocking. An occasional“ping” won’t harm theengine.The new lower-leadgasolines should alwaysbe used in:• 1971-78 trucks over6,000 lbs.• post-1978 trucks over8,500 lbs.The effect of alco¬hol blends. To meet thenew regulations, oil re¬finers will turn to othermethods to maintain orincrease octane ratings.Some will elect to refinegasoline more intensively.Others may add octaneenhancers such as ethanoland methanol (more infor¬mally known as grain alco¬hol and wood alcohol).General Motors sup¬ports the use of suchalternative fuels to les¬sen our nation’s depen¬dence on imported oil.But to avoid operatingand other problems, don’tuse gasoline containingmore than 10 percentethanol or 5 percent meth¬anol. And in the case ofmethanol, he sure itcontains cosolvents (toprevent separation ofthe alcohol from thegasoline) and corrosioninhibitors. General Motors istaking steps to ensurethat its future vehicles canoperate problem-free withgasoline containing alco¬hol. For now, you shouldknow the contents of thefuel going into your gastank. That’s why we sup¬port the requirement thatgas pumps show the alco¬hol content of the fuel.Such labels are beingused in some states, butthey are needed nation¬wide.To get the efficiency,driveability and perfor¬mance we design intoyour GM vehicles, he sureyou use the right fuel.The proper identificationand use of gasoline isgood for both GM cus¬tomers and GM cars andtrucks.This advertisement is part ofour continuing effort to givecustomers useful informationabout their cars and trucksand the company that buildsthem.Chevrolet • Pontiac(Mdsmobile • BuirkCadillac • CMC TruckStudios, 1,2, & 3 BedroomApartments AvailableSome Nice Lake ViewsGood LocationHeat IncludedParking AvailableCALLHERBERT REALTY684-23335% Student Discounts9:00 A.M.-4:30 P.M.Monday thru Friday9:00 A.M.-2 P.M.Saturday marian realty,inc.mREALTORStudio and 1 BedroomApartments Available— Students Welcome —On Campus Bus LineConcerned Service5480 S.

Gone from last year’s team, which fin¬ished a basket short of winning the MCACchampionship, are all conference center,Keith Libert, and four forwards: NickMeriggioli, Tom Redburg, Frank Caesar,and Adam Green. There is going to be a newlook for the 85-86 team.Part of the new look is due to a rulechange which makes the 45 second shotclock mandatory for all men’s basketballgames, from Division I through Division III.Chicago Coach, John Angelus, along withmost Division III coaches, opposed the im¬position of the shot clock in Division IIIplay. As Coach Angelus said, “It takes thestrategy out of the game.” He continues onto say that the clock will play a large factorin the game. There will be more shots, morerebounds, more fouls, and more playersused in a game. Winning will be a matter ofhow many good players a team has, it willno longer be how well a team uses itsplayers.Along with the 45 second clock, six rookieswill give the basketball team its new look.Among the rookies are 67” Lynn Nelson.Nelson has been playing good offense at'thecenter position, but at 185 lbs, he will have tobulk up before he will have the strength tostart at center. There are three good fresh¬men vying for the open position. Ben Vena¬tor and Dave Gardiner are tough, physicalplayers, and they have played some toughdefense, and Matt Sharpes has been lookinggood on offense. Rounding out the rookieclass are guards Tom Falloon and Frank Held.It will take a while for the rookies to getused to playing college defense. As CoachAngelus said, “In high school you can playzone defense since a team might only haveone or two good shooters, but in college, ev¬eryone is a good shooter.” Chicago plays ateam oriented man to man defense, and it isgoing to take the rookies a while to learn thenew style of play. The critical point is howwell the rookies can blend in with the sys¬tem.Chicago is especially strong at guard. Re¬turning are Rob Omiecinski, who was theteams second leading scorer (10.7 points pergame), and Mike Clifford. Both are excep¬tional ball handlers and passers, and RobOmiecinski is one of the best shooters in theconference. Senior Mike Medina, and fresh¬man, Tom Falloon have layed well at pointguard, and they make the guard position thedeepest on the team.Dave Witt has moved from forward tocenter this hyear. At 6’4”, Dave Witt will begiving up a few inches to most centers, buthe will not be losing much on the boards.Witt’s physical play more than makes up forthe few inches he loses in height. Lynn Nel¬son is the center of the future for Chicago.At 67”, he will tower over most centers inthe conference.Forward is the real problem for Chicago.Dave Witt, Tom Redburg, and Nick Merig¬gioli alternated at the starting positions,and Adam Green and Frank Caesar provid¬ed invaluable help off the bench. Well, DaveWitt has moved to center, and the rest aregone. Losing five quality players leaves agap that will be tough to fill. Senior Captain,Tom Lepp, is an experienced player, andThe Third StringsCardinerBill Walton has arrived in Boston. Clean-shaven and smiling, Walton seemsready to work his Southern Californian magic in the Boston Garden. In thepast, a person of Walton’s “type” would have been welcome in Boston as wellas...a Southern Californian.The information of Walton’s trade from the floundering LA Clippers to theCeltics for Cedric Maxwell has carried with it inevitable comments of howodd it is that Walton has fit in so quickly and so well. What each commentfails to realize is that Bill Walton should have been a Boston Celtic allalong.Consider the team’s line-up. The Celtics are a World Championship teamthat suits no less than seven white players a game including Larry Bird, themost unselfish superstar to ever play in the NBA. They’re a team full of blue-collar workers in a blue-collar town. The motivation characteristic of the Cel¬tics’ organization has always been a facet of Walton’s career. When Waltonwas growing up, his father promised his family that the first child to touch theceiling would get a dollar. As the story goes, in a matter of month. Bill washitting the ceiling with his elbows for five dollar bills. He fits the mold. A 6-11big man known not for his ferocious dunks or shot-blocking, but his outletpasses.He graduated from the John Wooden School of Basketball (abbr. U.C.L.A.)in 1975 and brought the Portland Trailblazers their only championship in thehistory of the franchise by beating the 76ers in 1977. Walton knows how to beatthe Doctor & Co. as well as anyone on the Celtics. The big guy probably knowsa little better seeing as he brought the Trailblazers from a three game deficitin the 77 series. Already, he’s become a presence in Boston. K.C. Jones looksto Walton for only nineteen minutes a game off the bench. This arrangementis perfect for Walton who because of nagging leg problems would find anymore playing time too difficult. Another factor making his success in Bostonunavoidable is the people he will be sharing time with. Imagine a front-linemore talented than that of McHale, Walton, and Bird. Keep in mind that thisisn’t a first string line-up.The most obvious reason for Walton’s assimilation is the one most oftenover-looked. A red-headed, short-haired, unselfish big man in the middle ofthe green paint. Ring a bell? Red Auerbach must have thought so when hesigned Walton. As the pen scribbled about the contract, Red must have se¬cretly danced a leprechaunic dance for joy remembering the teams of theDave Cowens era. He must have also pictured Walton’s superb jump hook (ashot virtually invented by Cowens to compensate for this inescapable whiten¬ess). The passing, team-oriented gems of the Cowens’ years are appearinganew with the arrival of Bill Walton. Once again, there’s a fire burning inBoston’s middle.HARPER FOODSYOUR THANKSGIVING SPECIALISTS!!%Tired of mediocre vegetables, bruised fruits,and frozen, hormone-fed turkeys?Large food stores are forced to buy lower grade fruits, vegetables,and meats from food wholesales because of their high overhead.This food is then usually delivered sight unseen.Here at HARPER FOODS we practice the Old World tradition inwhich our family was raised: we personally go, each day at five A.M.,to the wholesale produce and meat markets and select only thefreshest “high grade” produce and meats we can find.

Phone 363-6251/52 will do a good job filling the gap at pivot.The real question is at wing. Junior, KeithVaux, has the upper hand, but SophomoreMike Wadman and rookie Matt Shapes arenot far behind in securing the starting posi¬tion.Then again, forward may seem like aminor problem; the big problem could beour conference in the MCAC. League cham¬pion, Beloit, has four returning starters,and they picked up a strong junior collegeplayer to fill the vacant spot on the roster.St. Norber, Ripon and Lake Forest havefour starters returning, and they are goingto be gunning for Chicago. Last year, Chi¬cago beat these teams soundly and revengewill play a factor in this season’s games.Four of the top rated Division III teams inthe Midwest are not only in the MCAC, theyare in the same conference as Chicago. Allin all, Beloit is looking strong to repeat asMCAC champions.Coach Angelus feels, “This will be an ex¬citing year. The team has the ingredients tomake a fine squad. There are diverse skillsthat could pull together, and...I think we aregoing to surprise a few people.”The basketball team has been playingwell in the pre season, and their spirit ishigh. Coach Angelus believes that the teamneeds game experience. The more theyplay, the quicker they will gel into a unit.The basketball team has gotten off to a goodstart. In a pre-season game, Chicago beatConcordia by 15. After leading by two athalftime, Chicago dominated the secondhalf, and had an easy time beating Concor¬dia.

The ac¬tions will culminate in major acts of civil disobedience in the spring of1986. There was no one who left the conference without the exhilerat-ing feeling that real movement is finally underway in our own country,to combat the forces that are keeping black brothers and sisters downin South Africa and here in our own neighborhoods. However, this ex¬hilaration was definitely coupled with the bitter awareness that it’sstill an uphill battle, and that the majority of our work lies before us.The energy that has held fragmented groups together by tenuousthreads up to this point will have to be cemented and reinforced by theinspiration that each one of us draws from the valuable learning expe¬rience of this conference.The conference was primarly about learning. Workshops were heldall day Saturday and Sunday on coalition building and student mobili¬zation, strategies for divestment and post-divestment, material aidand community links. Misinformation that has been disseminated hereas well as the U.S. role in maintaining the status quo in South Africa,was also discussed. Conrod Wornill, president of the National BlackUnited Front, and Prexy Nesbitt, speaking as representative for theCoalition for Illinois Divestment from South Africa (CIDSA) led an illu¬minating if sometimes tense panel discussion, on American use of rac¬ ism as an instrument of foreign and domestic policy. The discussion dis¬pelled any remaining myths that our own president Reagan is a“freedom fighter,’’ and laid out the network of links between libera¬tion struggles around the world.The workshops, delightfully well attended, debated and preparedresolutions which were proposed at the plenary session that ended theconference. Estimated attendance at the conference was figured at400. The entire Ida Noyes Hall was alive with movement. At the plena¬ry, all resolutions from the workshop were passed, though most resolu¬tions submitted from outside the conference were defeated because ofcertain contradictions that arose. (The results from the conference ple¬nary and more specific information about the particular successes ofthe conference will be printed in the next issue of Grey City.)As I said before, the conference was a definite success. It was alivewith a cooperative spirit, and a unified desire to educate ourselves.However, at the end of the conference the burden of responsibility fellonce again on those of us who represented the University. If we are toaccomplish anything at all in terms of the greater whole, the burden ofresponsibility falls on us all as individuals, to motivate ourselves in thestruggle for liberation. The Third World Political Forum, The Universityof Chicago Anti-Apartheid Student Alliance and The Action Committeefor a Free South Africa will be holding their final meetings for thequarter in the next two weeks. Check the calender, watch the bulletinboards, go to a meeting. As Prexy Nesbitt has continually warned inhis recent visits to the U of C, the power of change is in our hands, andwe musn’t let inaction become a weapon against that change.Homage to Duchamp AMANDLA!The following speech was delivered toopen the Midwest Student ConferenceAgainst Apartheid and Racism last week.by Sahotra SarkarOn behalf of the Organizing Commiteefor the Midwest Student Conferenceagainst Apartheid and Racism and on be¬half of the students, faculty, staff, andcommunity anti-apartheid activists on thiscampus, I welcome you to this conferencetoday. Here, at the University of Chicago,we feel privileged to host the largest anti¬apartheid student conference to be held inthis country.We have met at a very critical junctureof our movement. South Africa is in a stateof civil war, a war between its people, itspredominantly black people and a racistminority regime that perpetrates thecrime of apartheid. During the last twoyears, under the inspiration of the AfricanNational Congress, and largely throughthe organizing efforts of the United Demo¬cratic Front, the people of South Africahave taken the struggle against aparth-eidto unprecedented heights. More thaneight hundred people have been killed.Thousands have been incarcerated. Everyday tortures, bannings, and detentionscontinue. Yet the determination of thepeople to destroy apartheid remains un¬shaken. Following a call by the African Na¬tional Congress last February the peoplehave made the townships ungovernable.Following another such call last month thepeople have taken the war into aparth-eid’ssegregated white areas. Apartheidstands shaken: today the regime does noteven allow the media even to transmit pic¬tures of the protests.Meanwhile, over the last few years,black labor has organized itself into sev¬eral independent iabor unions, most ofwhich are affiliated to two major federa¬tions. FASATU, the Federation of South Af¬rican Trade Unions, and CUSA, the Councilof Unions of South Africa. Next monthworkers' representatives are meeting toform a single federation that will repre¬sent over 500,000 workers. The labormovement has already demonstrated itsstrength since 1984 through cripplingstrikes and consumer boycotts. Today it isstronger than ever. Together the peoples’movement and the labor unions can cripplethe apartheid economy. And ultimatelythey will topple apartheid. It is only amatter of time before SWAPO liberatesNamibia and the gold, black, and greentricolor of the ANC flies over the UnionBuildings in Pretoria.The apartheid regime s response to thegrowing resistance has been repressionand more repression. The regime is aidedin this by the possession oi one of the mostsophisticated military machines in theContinued on pag« ISANFORD SCHWAR^HTHE MATRIX OF WUM\\\\\\\\\H\\\\\\\\\|THOMAS E.

SinceApril, a number of Art Center instructors have taught ceramics,painting and drawing, both two- and three-dimensional design,and printmaking to school children in two local public institu¬tions, the Ray and Beulah Shoesmith Schools. These classeshave resulted from a program funded by a City Arts II Chal¬lenge Grant designed to provide formal instruction in the visu¬al arts to children who receive no such instruction as a part of their regular Public School curriculum. Sessions conducted todate by Art Center instructors have reached nearly 1000 Rayand Shoesmith children, grades two through seven.A selection from the artwork produced by these children, aswell as from that produced by other Chicago Public School stu¬dents under the direction of instructors from Lill Street Gal¬lery, is currently on exhibit at the Express-Ways Children’sMuseum on the fourth floor of the Chicago Public Library Cul¬tural Center, 78 E Washington.

DOC Monat 8.THEATER I‘Til The End of the World Judgment Dayhas come at last! Gabriel blows histrumpet and the dead all rise fromtheir graves, prepared to be judgedby the angel, and therefore blessedor damned. In the last-minute shuf¬fle and red tape, however, oneyoung man — Jonathan Zzoam —has been over-looked; he is stillalive when the trumpet sounds, andis therefore denied ‘the fun of beingresurrected.’ It is decided, there¬fore, as a consolation (and through alittle twist of contrived dialogue)that the Final Judgment be post¬poned twenty-four hours, and thatJonathan be allowed absolute ruleover all of the world’s newly-resur¬rected souls (including such greatsas Caesar. Shakespeare, and Freud)for that one day. Such is the humblebeginning of Til the End of theWorld, a full-length, two act musicalcomedy presented this weekend bythe Blackfriars, in the Reynold’sClub Third Floor Theater. The words,book, and music for the show are allby Daniel Biemer. a current studentat the University, and this producti¬on is the show's much-hailed ‘WorldPremiere.’ It was this play, whichpromised to be as unpromising as itspremise, that this reviewer simplyhad come to scoff at. What he gotwas two hours of simple, unpollutedentertainment. The play is not sig¬nificant, and it is not incredibly in¬volved or complicated (in fact, itmanages to cross its own theology toavoid complication). It is, however,fun (perish the thought: theatre thatis fun). The script, though plagued insome places with jokes that miss, isfilled, in even more places, withjokes and comic situations that suc¬ceed beautifully. Surprisingly —though one would think that thiswould be the most difficult part ofsingle-handedly writing a musical —Mr. Biemer has also composed avery talented score. It is with thisscore that the show succeeds themost: the sweet songs are properlysweet and the funny ones (particu¬larly "We're Dead" and "Ode toDeath”) are properly funny. Thephysical production itself has its pri¬celess touches — everything fromthe costumes of the various visitorsfrom both Heaven and Hell down tothe little wooden puppy in Act I. Thecast, all \\ell-chosen, is filled with somuch energy and fun that it seems ashame that they are all scrunched uptogether like that on the tiny ThirdFloor Theater stage. Phillip Park, asthe hero Jonathan Zzoam, handleshis character — good or evil — well,and with an ease that belies the dif¬ficulty of handling a round characterin a musical comedy. Lessie Frazier,as Jonathan's girlfriend Elaine, isproperly Debbie Reynolds-like, andsports a pretty soprano voice. Otherperformances of note among thecast are Kevin Jack as Gabriel, MikeKotze as the Prophet, and Ben Wein¬berg as Death (who does indeedwear purple tennis shoes — and anorange fishing hat as well).

The specif¬icity of capital is not ex¬change value itself, but thetotal, abstract system of ex¬change; not production perse, but the fetishization ofproduction, production forits own sake, production,that is for the rulingpowers.When we speak of capital¬ism, we can only mean onething:accumulation/growthaccumulation/expansionaccumulation/penetrationaccumulation/ accumula¬tion/accumulation/accumula¬tionexpansion.We live within the ma¬chine of accumulation/ex¬pansion whose power isnear beyond us. The ques¬tion is not that of a rationalreprogrammatics, butrather the destruction of analien power. What remains today?What continent, village, ortribe has not been uprootedby the juggernaut of capitalgrowth? What body — I re¬peat, what body — has notbeen penetrated by ex¬change value, convertedinto exchange value,drained of symbolic content,rationalized in its desiresand energies, disciplined asa productive force, trainedin the tactics of labor, con¬sumption, and obedience?4We speak then of the com¬modification of the body,the penetration of capitalinto the walls and cells ofour being, the lived repro¬duction of the rationalizedsystem of irrational growthand violence. We see thecommodification of the bodyin our gestures and move¬ments, but we also hear it inour language and voice.The abstract social systemyields the abstract body;within the abstract bodyarises the abstract voice.Disengaged from concretecommunication, severedfrom the body itself, thevoice has become an auton¬omous force, free to work inthe structures of electronicculture, free to travelacross space and time, freeto obey the new socialrhythms and laws, free tobecome a function of capi¬tal. 6The post-modern voice isthe commercial radio voice,the shrill tonal fusiladesprayed across the am/fmband. The post-modernvoice is the voice of the tele¬vision announcer, telling us,in a society where our livesare lost, which commoditeswe have won. But the post¬modern voice is also thevoice of the home, thestreets, and cafes — thevoice of everyday life. Thepost-modern voice is thevoice conditioned by the he¬gemonic tones of the mar¬ketplace, the voice seducedby the siren song of con¬sumption. Where Shake¬speare spoke for an earliercapitalism, Don Pardospeaks for us today, orrather, we speak like DonPardo, in the cacaphonoustones of capital expanding.7The task of the post-mod¬ern voice is singular: not totell, but to sell; not commun¬ication, but mystification.Basic thesis: the post-mod¬ern voice is not that of thehuman being — it is the com¬modity speaking. In thebureaucratic society of con¬trolled consumption, whereobjects assume hegemonyover life, the subject and ob¬ject exchange roles: the per¬sonalized commodity is thecommodified person, the hu¬manization of the object isthe objectification of thehuman, its dehumanizationand reduction to the struc¬tures of exchange and thefunction of advertising. Inthe conditions of abstrac¬tion, it is not we who sellproducts, but products thatsell us. 8 1The commodification ofthe voice and language ismanifest in the content ofour speech whose sublimethemes rivet on the con¬sumption of trivia and thetrivia of consumption. “Themore completely languageis lost in the announce¬ment”, says Adorno, “themore words are debased assubstantial vehicles ofmeaning”. But we must lookalso to the very form of thepost-modern voice which as¬sumes its structure in thepost-modern economy. Theessence of the post-modernvoice is speed. The greatestamount of information mustbe expressed in the shortestamount of time. For time toois a commodity and commod¬ities must exist within time.The rhythms of hyper-prod¬uction and instant communi¬cation extend beyond thefactories and silicon val¬leys. The necessity forspeed obliterates vocal dy¬namics. To slow the pace ofthe voice is to slow the paceof the message and so thepace of the money, everafloat in the sea of expan¬sion. The ornate world ofconsumption brings us theornate human voice,adorned with the slick andsuperfluous nuance. The“style” of the post-modernvoice is really no style at allbut a manufactureduniqueness whose qualitiesare the glossy veneer ofconsumption itself. In theage of inflation, we find theinflated voice. Maximalloudness is required formaximal penetration ofspace and the psyche.4—FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1985—GREY CITY JOURNALOver 45 years of professional servicewill assure your satisfactionare 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 Rosenbaum%at*6ou “BoutiqueEye Examinations, Fashion Eyewear, Contact Lenses493-83721200 E. 53RD ST 752-1253KIMBARK PLAZAALWAYS CONVENIENT PARKING Daily: 9-6Sat: 9-3 30By appointment \The latest news in hair comes from the HAIR PERFORMERS News inPerms — innovative conditioning waves that improve the look textureand feel of your hair News in cuts — uncomplicated shapes thatmove easily from casual to professional to nighttime dramatic Takeadvantage of our great introductory offer and make your own news'PERMS NOW 50% OFFCOMPLETE SHAPING AND STYLING NOW $5 00 OFFThe OFFERS GOOD FOR FIRST TIME CLIENTS ONLYTuesday is Men’s Day $1 0®®OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEKTheFamily Styling CenterNOW FEATURING"the INDOOR TANNING SYSTEM1 62 1 E. 55th S’RtETCHir AGO !L 6061 5 (312)241-7778 MATTENTIONPROSPECTIVEVARSITY TRACKATHLETES(MEN AND WOMEN)There will be a meeting on Friday,November 22 at 4:00 PM in theclassroom of the Henry Crown FieldHouse for all new and returning Indoorand Outdoor Track and Field athletes.The meeting is primarily administrativein nature and will be concerned with thefiling of NCAA-mandated financial aidand eligibility statements.

NOVEMBER 22, 1985-5WIM FOR THE ROADUBig camera, Big countryby Max RennOf all the directors of the New GermanCinema, Wim Wenders is the most ob¬sessed with America. Herzog seeks to ex¬plore a frontier of the psyche; Fassbinderhaunts the back alleys of historical andsexual politics; Syberberg is trapped in aninflated opeatic universe of his own de¬sign. Wenders alone has sought to explorethe peculiar relationship that German cul¬ture has to American culture. As one of hischaracters puts it in Kings of the Road,speaking for Wenders and perhaps all ofEurope, “America has colonized our sub¬conscious." This obsession is not the rea¬son for Wenders’ peculiar claim to great¬ness, for he is above all a filmmaker quafilmmaker, but it is the root from which hisgreatness has grown, culminating in hisRuben Blades-like “crossover" hit, Paris,Texas.Wenders is a product of the post-WorldWar II era of German “reconstruction,”the years immediately following the endof the war when America in effect con¬trolled the defeated German society. Withmost German film production centersclosed or destroyed by the war, Germancinemas or kinos became dumping groundsfor all sorts of American films — in fact,the present-day European market forAmerican films, a huge market, had its be¬ginnings in what was essentially a politi¬cal/cultural desire for control by the Alliesover what was then the brutal remains ofthe Axis powers. In a time of reconstruc¬tion, American films were to be a source ofenlightenment, entertainment, and indoc¬trination into the ways of democracy anda weaning away from Nazism. What wasshipped in film cannisters to Germany,however, were all sorts of Hollywoodproductions from the Forties, Thirties, andeven the early-Fifties, as German-maaefilms were not be be made until then.Thus, a young kid in the Fifties couldgrow up in Germany weaned on the worksof film directors such as Ford, Hawks, Ray, Mann, etc. — the directors we now con¬sider “classics" — before those directorswere even known to the mass Americanaudience. Many of these directors wereunknown, and worse, rarely successful inAmerica. In Germany, since these filmswere all viewers had, they were reveredas gods by some (Wenders) and defiled asdevils by others (Syberberg), but their im¬pact upon German artists and future film¬makers was undeniable.Wenders has commented on his obses¬sion with American films throughout hiscareer and in his films. In Alice in the Cities(1973), the central figure ponders thedeath of John Ford as a symbol of this ownloss of ties with the past. In The American Friend (1977), Wenders uses Americanactors like Dennis Hopper and Americandirectors like Nicholas Ray and SamuelFuller to tell a tale of intrigue, friendship,and loss. Based on his reputation abroadas one of the great new German directors,and his cult reputation in America, FrancisFord Coppola, the ubermensche of Ameri¬can film, hired Wenders to direct a filmnoir called Hammett, based on the life ofwriter Dashiell Hammett. What seemed atfirst to be a simple assignment, and a tick¬et to success for Wenders, turned out to behell, as Coppola’s empire crumbled aroundthe film, leaving all concerned to wait forthe master to get out of debt before finish¬ing the film. Wenders had finally come to America only to be almost eaten alive bythe filmmaking machinery of Hollywoodbig-budget demands. For years Wenderswould fly back and forth from Germany toCalifornia, until the project was finally re¬leased, in highly altered form fromWenders’ intended work, to disastrous re¬views.While the stunning success of Paris,Texas was only a few years away, at thetime Wenders sunk into such a deep stateof depresson that many thought he wouldnever work again. The result of this bleakperiod is a film which may stand as the ul¬timate statement of filmmaking versus fi¬nance, art versus commerce, and Europeversus America — The State of Things(Wednesday, Noember 27, 8:00, DocFilms). In it, a European filmmaker whocannot finish his own film takes a leave ofabsence from the set to fly to Hollywoodand get his finances straight. Wendersuses the film to explore the contradictionsinherent in an art form that is dependentupon cash-flow, financiers, and an entireindustry to make a “personal” statementof some sort. Eventually, what the film¬maker — and Wenders, by implcation —finds in the dark heart of Hollywood issomething at a far remove from the needsof directors, actors, and carmeramen, allof whom are lovingly depicted byWenders in the film.The obsession with America seen in allWenders films reaches some sort of emo¬tional criticai-mass-point in The State ofThings, as the entire history of German-American relations ends up being summedup on a long ride around Hollywood takenby the filmmaker and the fictional-Coppo-la character, a ride into disaster. Wendersis now on top of the world, in a sense, withhis new found fame, and his obsession with“the death of cinema" may be ossifyingand becoming a bore, to judge by some re¬cent short films, but The State of Thingsstands as a savage, terrifying, and often¬times hilarious view of art and life in thepostmodern world.NICARAGUA: WHAT THE AUDIENCE DOESN'T KNOWLatino: Grappling with PoliticsDirected by Haskell Wexler, 1985Lucasfilm, Produced by Benjamin Berg.by John ConlonA movie such as Latino, about a political¬ly controversial topic of current signifi¬cance (the U.S. - contra attacks against Ni¬caragua) presents an incredible challengeto its director, Haskel Wexler. The audi¬ence can already guess which side Wexleris on before they walk into the theater.Moreover, unlike movies of the usualcrime/detective or spy type, the audiencedoes not necessarily start out agreeingwith the director. Wexler’s film can’t drawon a common ideology the way, to take anextreme example, Westerns used to.Westerns were based on a complete rever¬sal of persecuter and victim: a Westernwhich accurately presented the cowboy asinvader and the Native American as vic¬tim would have been dismissed as absurd,biased, and supporting the ruthless sav¬age.A movie such as Latino, which challengesdominant biases and ideologies will ine¬vitably be denounced as biased and ideo¬logical. This is not to say that the projectshould be abandoned, or that the directorshould not discipline his/her efforts tomake the film accessible to the largestpossible audience.Wexler (who won Academy Awards forWho’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Boundfor Glory) takes the side of the Nicara¬guan people against the United States andthe contras. It would have been foolish tohave pretended otherwise. The viewersknow where they stands, whether theyagree with him or not.What the audience doesn’t know iswhere the main character, Eddie Guerrero,fits into the whole picture. Guerrero (Rob¬ert Beltran) is a Chicago Green Beret fromLos Angeles, operating in Nicaragua. He isa person whose ambiguity is never com¬pletely resolved. He does his job, but hecan’t help wondering about a war againstHispanics like himself, fougnt for the whiteman. In a sense, Guerrero represents thehope of the picture, that the Americanpeople, even American servicemen, willbegin to wonder about a system which con¬tinually makes war against impoverishedpeasants.Many ordinary soldiers in the U.S.armed forces share Guerrero’s distrust ofU.S. global domination. I have talked witha number of servicemen who are uncom¬fortable about U.S. hostilities in CentralAmerica. One ex-serviceman even told methat his friends used to brag that they’drefuse to participate in an invasion of Ni¬caragua. He did point out, however, thatthis was “just talk,” and that they proba¬bly would go in the end. Nevertheless, thegenerals must not like an army in which in¬subordination is regarded as a sign oforavery.Wexler faces another problem in addi¬tion to the predictability of his politicalmessage. He would like to portray the hor¬ror of contra violence, but no amount of vi¬ olence (on film, at least) could shock theaverage movie-goer. Wexler’s response isto downplay the graphic depiction of vio¬lence, to a point far below the Nicaraguanreality, most probably. Instead, he relieson the subtlest hints for his strongest ef¬fects: a child’s question or a single gun¬shot, off-screen.This brings us to Wexler’s third problem,the conflict between fiction and reality.Wexler hoped to obtain a wider hearingon the Nicaragua issue by putting it into awork of fiction. Subsequent events, how¬ever, may show the constraints on the dis¬semination of his message no matter whatthe medium. The major distributors haverefused to touch Latino.Since Latino is officially a work of fic¬tion, the audience is naturally led to think“this sort of thing doesn’t really happen.”In fact, Wexler has been extremely care¬ful to present the war accurately. The au¬dience, however, has no way of knowingthis.One of the ways in which Wexler mightpossibly have improved the film alsoserves to illustrate the sort of dilemmashe faces. Near the beginning of Latino,Wexler has a contra leader foam about“godless communism." I find Reagan’sspeeches even more chilling. If Wexler hadused some footage of an actual Reaganspeech, he could have grounded his filmmore solidly in reality and also have in¬creased its emotional impact. Paradoxi¬cally, however, while this may have madeLatino more effective film, it would also have further restricted its distribution.Theaters wouldn’t like a film which so di¬rectly confronted Reagan.Finally, a few words about the accuracyof the film. Latino portrays North Ameri¬can soldiers participating in contraraids. This sort of thing undoubtedlyoccurs, though the North Americans proba¬bly do not speak English during the raids,as depicted in the movie. We know thatNorth Americans minced Nicaragua's har¬bors and participated in other sophisticat¬ed attacks against Nicaragua. We alsoknow that on several occasions, the U.S.army has lied to families of deceased ser¬vicemen about the circumstances of theirchildren’s deaths, presumably becausethey died in places like Nicaragua. This isactually an important theme in Latino.In one scene, Latino shows a North Amer¬ican soldier torturing a prisoner capturedby the contras. I don’t know if this hap¬pens. American soldiers did participate intorture sessions in Vietnam, and GreenBerets are known to have received train¬ing in torture meth 3, though the instruc¬tors told their students, “we will denythat any such thing is taught or intended."Furthermore, the United States has consis¬tently encouraged the use of tortureamong its client states (except, perhaps,under Carter), and also has encouraged co¬operation between the contras and LatinAmerican regimes (such as Argentina be¬fore the Falklands war, and Chile), which practice torture. Whether U.S. soldiersthemselves participate in torture is there¬fore a secondary issue.At any rate, with the possible excep¬tions mentioned above, the violence de¬picted in Latino isn’t fiction. It occurs on adaily basis in Nicaragua.By focusing on a U.S. soldier who reactsin a human way to the policies which he isforced to carry out, Wexler creates a filmwhich is sufficiently personal to give usconviction and inspiration in our own lives.As ideological police forces such as “Accu¬racy in Media” and the “Moral Majority"try to convince us that we’re suckers andcommies for opposing the massacre of im¬poverished peasants, projects likeWexler’s became extremely important.By restoring our confidence in ourselvesand other ordinary Americans, films likeLatino give us the courage to stand upagainst immoral policies such as the Rea¬gan war against the people of Nicara¬gua.Latino is now showing at the Fine ArtsTheatre, 418 S.

The A side of Care, a non-stop dance odyssey, pro¬vides a glimpse at Shriekback; from the clubland classic“Lined Up”, to the incarnate funk of “My Spine is theBassline”, to the glitzy bravado/parody of “Into theMethod”, the LP is decisively in the realm of the Implaca¬ble Beat.In Care, Shriekback does not offer a political stance,nor does the band pretend that it should be politicized.Shriekback’s world is animated by funk; when one inter¬nalizes that bassline, politics become nonsense. This isthat vague “art-school fringe of punk” crystallized intothe club, a culture politically legitimized only as an amor¬phous alternative to the rigidity of dominant culture. Forexample, the cut “Into the Method” where Shriebackmocks “Oochie-Coochie pretty-boy clubsters in their Guccior Fiorucci shoes,” Shriekback’s lyrics, although some¬what critical, are centered around club life, which for¬ever is ruled by the Implacable Beat. Outside politics justdon’t count, but wearing the right shoes to the club do.Jump to 1985 and Shriekback releases Oil and Gold,which is their most adventurous and puzzling work todate. Shriekback adopts an electric guitar and, so theband boasts, their sound and lyrics are “re-mined, re¬fined, and part divined.” Oil and Gold does presentShriekback as nominal ideologues. At least this is what Iwanted to believe. Could Shriekback really emerge as afunky and glitzy band with some sort of political con¬science? In Oil and Gold, Shriekback does not abandon itsGucci shoes, but the band does explain why it is so con¬cerned with the dilemmas of Gucci shoes. Club life toShriekback is a refuge from the outside world which attimes is a bit too sinister.“Nemesis”, the opening track of Oil and Gold, pro¬vokes its listeners to question, if not challenge, the ele¬phantine, repressive conventions of the plurality. Thelyrics are rather cryptic and the political commentary isan oblique one, twining about an ambiguous primordialbeast/reptilian allegory:We drink elixirs, that we refineFrom the juices, of the dyingWe are no monsters; we’re moral peopleThis is the splendour of our achievementWe have the strength to do this-Call in the air strikes with our poison kissPriests and cannibals, prehistoric animalsEverybody happy as the dead come homeBig Black Nemesis, ParthenogenesisNo one move a muscle as the dead come homeHow bad it gets you can't imagine...God is not mocked, he knows our businessShriekback questions in “Nemesis” how the plurality be¬comes dominant, whom it must subject to gain power, andhow the power is legitimized by “right of divine rea¬son”.“Hammerheads” is also lyrically in the vein of “Neme¬sis”. Shriekback, in a more acerbic and frenzied tone,sings about “Hammerheads” who are maniacal, self-proclaimed “darlings of God”, on a crusade to vilify thespiritually dissolute. These Hammerheads, animated byparanoid sexuality and callous greed, secure their purifi¬cation, their salvation by annihilating the “filthy demonseed”. The song ends with the Hammerheads blessingshit-kickers, hate-seekers, faith-healers, and other badcharacters. Outrageous? Then the record, I imagine,serves its purpose. By the way, Oil and Gold has a greatImplacable Beat and you can dance to it.So again, is Shriekback an extraordinary band? I oncethought so. After all, it’s quite rare for Glam-Gods to re¬sist being inducted into the pop pantheon. This is why Iliked Shriekback and this is why I became skeptical ofthe bands recent luck — for luck, it is said, is the residueof design.Poised for massive pop success in the US, Shriekback isthe opening act for the North American tour of that Live-Aiding, Breakfast-Clubbing, aptly-named band, SimpleMinds. Shriekback’s lead vocalist Carl Marsh, who lookslike Yul Brynner in Commes des Gargons garb, promisesto continue the legacy of the “art-fringe of punk” glam-god gone pop icon. So Oil and Gold is indeed politicized,but the LP’s obtrusive, provocative although innocuous(no nihilism here) unconventionality is perverted intomarketability. Are the band’s politics negated by its as¬piration for pop stardom? To investigate, I went toNorthwestern University in Evanston to see Simple Mindsand their opening act, Shriekback. shriekback:by Rick and Ravi by Rick WojcikSince its conception in 1980, Shriekback has never pre¬tended to be anything but a funked-up dance band. De¬spite the backgrounds of co-founders Dave Allen with theGang of Four (their original bassist) and Barry Andrewswith XTC (co-founder and keyboardist), the band has onlyminimally ventured into the realm of the arty and neverinto the political sphere. Nonetheless, Shriekback is verygood at what they attempt to do — make people dance.The core of the band’s music is Dave Allen’s funky bassline which he perfected with the Gang of Four. Overlay¬ing this are Barry Andrews' synth melodies, which, oflate, have become increasingly more complex andvaried, largely due to the addition of a Fairlight. MartynBaker, as drummer and percussionist, contributes a pow¬erful, driving beat, something which was missing inShriekback’s earlier works. To top this off is Carl Marsh’sraspy voice, which delivers effectively the band’s hyp¬notically authoritative lyrics. Recently, Shriekback hasgravitated towards a more quirky sound by contortingpercussion, adding female back-up vocals, and other ele¬ments of effective remixing and overdubbing. This intri¬cate layering gives the bands music a rougher, perhapseven discordant edge which is especially noticeable ontheir latest LP, Oil and Gold. All of this works well onvinyl, but one might be skeptical about a live perfor¬mance, writing off the band's talent as mere studio gim¬mickry.Shriekback’s presence on stage is strongly in keepingwith their image as a funk band. To the core members ofthe group are added two female back-up singers, a Congoplayer, and two extra guitarists, one of whom is Lu Ed¬munds, formerly of The Damned. Carl Marsh, the leadsinger, prances manically around the stage, trying to con¬vey the spirit of the music to the audience. At any givenmoment he is climbing the speakers, dancing in syncopa¬tion with the singers, or jumping into the crowd. Thewhole scene is usually reminiscent of an old P-Funk con¬cert, or, more recently, the Talking Heads on their lasttour. Unfortunately this was not the case during Shriek¬back’s opener act for Simple Minds at Northwestern Uni¬in Evanston.Shriekback’s opening performance last Tuesday wasdisappointing in many ways, although the band itselfperformed well. Much of our own criticism, although pre¬determined by our own distinct biases, stems from theband’s position as an opening act,and the venue of theshow.The stage for the opening act was set in the midst of abasketball court. Northwestern Wildcat banners and cor¬porate sponser ads draped the walls of the sports arena,but all of this padding failed to drown out the chants of“We Want Simple Minds!”, which rose from all sides. Itwas rather obvious that the audience was not there tosee Shriekback. The pre-pubescent crowd milled about,buying T-shirts and posters and quivering in anticipationof Simple Mind’s “Don't You...”Shriekback’s first few tunes, notably “Malaria” fromOil and Gold and “My Spine is the Bassline” from Care.went largely unnoticed by the Simple Minded fans whothen called for “rock-n-roll”. The performance hardlyseemed live at first. It was as if the band were playing ontelevision to disinterested viewers with minimal atten¬tion spans. And also as in television, Shriekback’s fren¬zied energy was locked into the narrow rectangular areawhich constituted the opening band’s stage. Shriekbackappeared inaccessible to the audience, who seemed to re¬gard the band as a menagerie of self-absorbed freaks.Finally, Carl Marsh, the lead singer, suggested to theaudience that it might be appropriate to dance and theband jumped into the driving “Lined Up”. A few brazenindividuals did eventually move into the aisles and beginto dance. Almost immediately, the intrepid dancers werespotted and re-seated by Northwestern students-cum-ushers, each armed with a flashlight. At one point in theshow, a group of dancers amassed that proved to be toolarge for the ushers to quell. Carl Marsh lept off thestage, disappeared for a few minutes in the melee, butlike a true funkster, came out dancing. When he returnedto the stage, however, the ushers immediately began po¬licing the crowd.Marsh was obviously frustrated by the ban on dancing.For if Shriekback’s promise is to make people dance, toreneg on this promise is to forfeit their credibility. How¬ever, they should have expected to make sacrifices whenlinking up with a big name band on an international tour.Exposure entails compromise. After all, this ain’t nodisco, baby...GREY CITY JOURNAL-FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1985-7NEXT ISSUE IS THELAST ISSUE, YOUGODLESS LITTLECOMMIES AND ITCOMES OUT TUESDAY SO COPY MUSTBE IN SUNDAY,YOU WIMPSJBRUNCH: SAME TIME, SContinued from page 1world and by the possession of a still solideconomic infrastructure built with foreigncapital and the slave labor of blacks. Forboth of these sources of strength aparthei-dis primarily indebted to the UnitedStates. American arms and American tech¬nology have armed apartheid. To thisday, through surrogate nations, especial¬ly Israel, the United States continues toprovide military assistance to South Afri¬ca despite a mandatory arms embargoadopted by the United Nations, includingthe United States, in 1977. Since 1960American investments have been the mainsource of capital for the growth of theSouth African economy which, in turn, hasfinanced for the repressive state appara¬tuses of apartheid. American companieshave provided the computers that monitorthe hated pass laws; American companieshave provided the armored vehicles of theSouth African police and military; Ameri¬can companies continue to provide oil —the one mineral source in which South Afri¬can is lacking — to the apartheid re¬gime...The litany of crimes committed byAmerican companies in Southern Africa isendless. This collaboration between theUnited States and apartheid is, to say theleast, reprehensible.These facts make obvious the immediatetasks that confront the student anti¬apartheid movement. First, we must makeit physically impossible for the apartheidregime to continue with the repression ofthe South African people. To achieve thisgoal we must end the United States’ andits cohorts’ collaboration with apartheid.Second, we must provide material aid tothe liberation movements of SouthernAfrica — to the African National Congressof South Africa and to the South West Afri¬can Peoples’ Organization of Naimbia.To achieve the first end we must, first ofall, force our universities and all other in¬stitutions to which we belong to divestthemselves of all their holdings in compa¬nies and banks that do business in SouthAfrica. Through divestment we must forcethese companies to withdraw from SouthAfrica. There is no doubt any longer thatSouth Africa’s blacks want — I should saydemand — disinvestment. We must re¬spond to their call. We must also becomemore effective in organizing a sports andcultural boycott of South Africa. We mustboycott all athletes and performers whoplay in South Africa. We have consider¬able power here — as young people, it isour patronage that make or break the ca¬reers of most musicians and other per¬formers. An effective well-organized cam¬paign can force artists and and athletes not to perform in South Africa. We mustisolate the racists in Pretoria in everyway we can. We must join city and statesmovements for divestment. We must de¬mand comprehensive federal sanchionsagainst South Africa — not Nicaragua,South Africa. We must also take up theissue of the repeal of the Clark Amend¬ment. Since 1976 the Clark Amendmenthad prevented the United States from pro¬viding aid to UNITA in Angola. Now that ithas been repealed the Reagan administra¬tion is considering giving it aid. UNITA isnothing but a bunch of bandits supportedby nobody except South Africa. We mustorganize and educate public opinion inorder to prevent further collaborationwith apartheid.We must organize to provide materialaid to ANC and SWAPO. At this criticaljuncture of the struggle against apartheidthe liberation movements need aid inevery form. ANC and SWAPO have refu¬gee camps in all of the Frontline States.ANC also has a school for exiled children,the Soloman Mahlangu Freedom College inMazimbu in Tanzania. As a first steptowards providing materal aid to the lib¬eration movements, I call upon all partici¬pants at this conference to mobilize andform a network that carries out a materialaid campaign for the Solomon MahlanguFreedom College and to Namibian refugeecamps, over the next few months.As we continue with our struggle wemust also educate ourselves about the na¬ture of the forces that are pitted againstus. It must be recognized that US colla¬boration with apartheid is intimately con¬nected with racism at home and Americanimperialism in the Third World. We mustalways be willing to address, not only intheory, but also in practice, the problem of domestic racism: the problems faced byBlack and Third World students on ourcampuses, the problems raised by securityand police harrassment of these students,the lack of effective support systems forthese students on most campuses, and theproblems generally faced by people of co¬lour in this white hegemonic society. Wemust also link our struggle to the strugglein Latin America where American imperi¬alism, not satisfied with profits fromapartheid, continues to thwart the peo¬ples’ aspirations for freedom and democ¬racy in order to continue complete econom¬ic domination. We must demonstrate oursolidarity with the Latin American peo¬ple.On occasion our movement has been sub¬ject to sharp divisions. Black and ThirdWorld students have felt that their role inthis movement have not been accorded ad¬equate respect by their white counter¬parts. I appeal upon those white comradesto remember that between 1979 and 1984when the issue of apartheid was all butforgotten by white radicals, the issue waskept alive by us. We continued to educateand inform, to expose the daily horrors ofapartheid and we did so because we, too,are victims of racist prejudice and discrim¬ination. We have no choice: we have tofight racism wherever it is, in whateverform it takes. Very often we are trans¬forming personal experience into a politi¬cal agenda; just as there cannot be a fe¬minist movement without the leadershipof women, there cannot be a movementagainst racist oppression without theleadership of people of colour. Women,too, have had problems in this movementand those problems must also be ad¬dressed. We must achieve unity becausethere is nothing that the racists in Pre¬ toria, as their collaborators in Washing¬ton, would love as much as internal dif¬ferences within our movement. We mustachieve unity, not unity at all costs, butprincipled unity; over the next two dayswe must work to resolve our differences.Finally, as apartheid makes it laststand, we must be careful to make surethat we are not misled by cosmetic re¬forms and false promises. We have tospend some time in considering what kindof political solution we find acceptable forSouth Africa. The minimal program forsuch a solution was laid down by the peo¬ple of South Africa themselves, who, atthe Congress of the People in June, 1955adopted the Freedom Charter for SouthAfrica. “We, the people of South Africa,”says the Freedom Charter, “declare for allour country and the world to know: ThatSouth Africa belongs to all who live in it,black and white, and no government canjustly claim authority unless it is based onthe will of the people; that our peoplehave been robbed of their birthright toland, liberty, and peace by a form of gov¬ernment founded on injustice and inequali¬ty; that our country will never be prosper¬ous or free until all our people live inbrotherhood, enjoying equal rights andopportunities; (and) that only a democrat¬ic state, based on the will of the people cansecure to all their birthright without dis¬tinction of colour, race, sex or belief.” Theten point program outlined in the FreedomCharter is simple:1. The People Shall Govern!2. All National Groups Shall Have EqualRights!3. The People Shall Share In theCountry’s Wealth!4. The Land Shall Be Shared AmongThose Who Work It!5. All Shall Be Equal Before The Law!6. All Shall Enjoy Human Rights!7. There Shall Be Work And Security!8. The Doors of Learning And CultureShall Be Opened!9. There Shall Be Houses, Security andFriendship!10.There Shall Be Peace and Friend¬ship!"These freedoms we shall fight for, sideby side, throughout our lives until we havewon our liberty.”The Freedom Charter has served as asource of inspiration for millions of SouthAfricans over the last thirty years. As astudent movement working in solidaritywith the liberation movements in SouthernAfrica we must be firm in working stead¬fastly toward a political solution for SouthAfrica that, at the very least, satisfies theprinciples of the Freedom Charter.
