Cole, chairman of theMichael Reese board and promi¬nent trustees from both facilities,will report in one month.Although University officialsare stressing that no decisionshave been made, several facultymembers note that a mergerseems likely because the commit¬tee will report in one month. Onefaculty member who asked not tobe named said that the reason forforming a committee to study thepossibility, rather than outrightannouncing a merger, is to buytime and lend credibility to themerger. The person added, “It isfar better politically to announcethat this is under study than tosay it has already happened.”Neither hospital is revealingwho initiated the formation of thecommittee. Asst. Vice-Presidentof University News and Informa¬tion David Rosen stated that, “itseems to have just mutally oc¬curred to people at both institu¬tions that this would be a goodidea.”Thus far this fiscal yearMRHMC reports a four milliondollar surplus and University of Chicago Hospitals and Clinics(UCHC), a balanced budget. Ac¬cording to Ivan Dee, a MichaelReese spokesman, this provesthat the merger “is not a distresssituation” on the part of either fa¬cility.”However, a merger could savethe University several milliondollars a year. At present, “anydebt of the Medical Center is adebt of the University,” accord¬ing to Rosen. For the 1984-85 fi¬scal year that debt was a 12 mil¬lion dollar write-off of five yearsworth of uncollectable bills andthree million dollars worth ofoperating losses for that year.President Gray noted in an Au¬tumn speech to the Council -of theUniversity Senate that over thenext five years the disparity be¬tween income and expendituresis expected to increase. Thethreat of the hospital running an¬other deficit and adding to thedisparity would disappear if theUCHC were to merge withMRHMC and form a new facility,fiscally separate from the Uni¬versity. A faculty member con¬firmed this reasoning saying,“the fact that the hospital wouldbe spun off is no big surprise.”The two facilities have had anumber of joint programs since1969. They currently include he¬matology and oncology, opthal-mology, and radiation therapy.Carole DeMack, executive assis¬tant to the associate dean of aca¬demic affairs for the U of C medi¬cal school stated that, as of July,about 300 of Reese’s physicianshave academic appointments at UCHC. Thus, another likely re¬sult of a merger would be an ex¬pansion of joint programs. IvanDee further suggested that conso¬lidation of patients in specializedareas of medicine could enlivensluggish programs stating, “acritical mass of patients can leadto something while two smallergroups might not.”U of C medical students in theirthird year are currently requiredto take at least one full quarter ofclinical work at MRHMC. Whilethere, they are taught by Reesefaculty. Michael Reese does nothave its own medical school.Past financial problems of bothhospitals are reflected in recentcutbacks of beds and staff. Ac¬cording to Rosen, over the last 15months, UCHC has reduced from695 to 560 beds and cut-back itsstaff by 370, about 10% of all hos¬pital employees. Nearly two-thirds of the staff reductions wereaccomplished through attrition.Similarly proportioned cuts havebeen reported at Reese.Despite the cuts, combining thetwo facilities would produce amedical center with around 1400beds. According to WilliamBulger, director of public affairsfor UCHC, the watermark forfirst-class status among hospitalsis generally considered to be 1,000beds.Rosen speculated that the pres¬tige and increased abilities of acombined facility could increasethe number of patients coming tothe hospitals, permanently put¬ting to rest many of the past eco-continued on page threeScientists discuss SDI proposalBy Odilon CouzinContributing WriterA surprising small audienceturned out at Quantrell Auditori¬um this Monday for an all-dayteach-in on the United States’Strategic Defense Initiative(SDI) program.The speakers ranged from psy¬chiatrists to physicists to politicalscientists. They spoke on both theprogram itself and on publicknowledge (or ignorance) of theDefense Department’s new proj¬ect to a small group of listeners.All stressed the need for betterpublic understanding of SDI.“The purpose of this teaching isto provide guidance on how toevaluate and understand SDI in¬formation,” Robert Sachs, direc¬ tor of the Enrico Fermi Institute,said. In this vein, the speakerstried to explain the variousaspects of the SDI program andto encourage the spectators to ex¬amine their own attitudes on theprogram.Speakers repeatedly and inde¬pendently stressed that theAmerican public was using deni¬al to ignore the dangers and prob¬lems of SDI in order to accept the“safety” of the program.“Why is it that we fail to cutthrough these slick commercialsand fancy rhetoric?” a speakerfrom the Physicians for SocialResponsibility asked. “Mass De¬nial.”The root of the problem, ac¬cording to the speakers is the de¬sign and implementation of theCHRISTINE DYRUDTwo members of the audience speak with a panel memberfrom the Star Wars Teach-In. SDI program. Len Ackland (fromthe Bulletin of Atomic Scien¬tists), said that the Reagan Ad¬ministration’s ‘secrecy’ policiesand the complexity of the SDIproject combine to keep the pub¬lic in the dark and the defense in¬dustry in the money.Some participants argued thatthe negative details of SDI arekept secret because the techno¬logy needed to implement it iscompletely unfeasible. For ex¬ample, millions have been spenton the experimental X-ray laser,which has produced no results.The necessity of a computer sys¬tem larger than any existent, anda string of technical problems,according to the speakers, makeSDI an impossible and dangerouseffort.80% of the U of C faculty hassigned a pledge of non-involve¬ment in SDI projects and no SDIprojects are underway on thiscampus, according to HellmutFritzsche, Chairman of the Phys¬ics department. Around thecountry, Fritzsche continued, sci¬entists and reseachers are sign¬ing the pledge in overwhelmingnumbers. Despite this, SDI fund¬ing shows no sign of slowing.Despite governmental efforts.Political Scientist Russell Hardinargued that the US and the USSR“are forced to negotiate” by theirroles as superpowers. All agreedthat the solution to the arms raceis not to build more offensiveweapons like the SDI even if wepersist in calling them defen¬sive.

Member,Amy O’Connor, says gaining sup¬port may prove difficult becausemany people “do not recognizethe extent of this problem.”In order to document the extentof sexual harassment, the com¬mittee proposes to conduct a col¬lege-wide survey. This surveywill be an adaptation of one cho¬sen from a publication on sexualharassment and will ask ques¬tions regarding the person’s ownexperiences with such problems.One college advisor. NancyO’Connor, affirmed that the sur¬vey was a “very good idea,” ad¬ding, “The figures would be quiteinteresting.”Nancy O’Connor said she couldrecall only three cases of sexualharassment among faculty andstudents during ten years as anadvisor. O’Connor said of onecase that she believed that thestudent did not “receive muchsympathy from the department,”adding, “the teacher was lec¬tured at’ but my impression wasthat stronger steps could havebeen taken.”University policy on sexual harassment, as stated in the stu¬dent handbook, omits the possibleactions which might be takenagainst a professor or anotherstudent. The written policy sim¬ply tells the student how to regis¬ter a complaint.“Our committee objects to thedefinition of sexual harassmentin university policy — it is inade¬quate and too vague” says KathySilberger.Instead of concretely definingsexual harassment, Universitypolicy leaves the individual stu¬dent to decide what entails “of¬fensive sexual behavior” or “anyphysical contact or communica¬tion which suggests sexualharassment.”The group proposes a different,rather lengthy, definition whichis based upon the definition at theUniversity of California at Berke¬ley. This definition lists a numberof types of sexual harassment, in¬cluding “any threat or intimida¬tion...based on sexual orienta¬tion.”The committee asserts that aspecific definition is critical inorder for students to have a basisfor formal complaint. “This isespecially true in the case of pro¬fessors harassing students. Be¬cause of professor is in a positionof authority, a student may beparticularly hesitant to judgehim or her critically. Often a stu¬dent will end up blaming himselfor herself,” said one committeememberThe committee also points outexamples of other universitieswhich appear more concernedwith this problem. One pamphletdistributed by Harvard MedicalSchool urges students to be aaware of this issue as it states inbold-faced print on the cover:“Sexual harassment is not a com¬pliment. It’s offensive and ille¬gal.”MAB presents? I iGOING TO THE GO-GO ****I'V.’ - *c» v*T-,v. f-' S. - • V Ffv.v 1> f>t«{ >. ») % v *v * f-fc#*V- *• 'A2** 'V A t f », %y ' ?

The beer still flows and“That’s all that matters, Mike Stakecommented of NU’s Inter FraternityCouncil president. The Greeks are happywith this policy because they were afraidthere would be an all-out ban of alcoholfrom the campus. NU administration ishaving a hard time finding a company topick up their renewal before Feb. 1 whenthe old policy expires. Even with a 300%in rates, less coverage and this new al¬cohol policy, there have been no oners sofar. Northwestern owns the fraternity andsorority houses and is responsible forsupplying insurance to them. The IFCcame up with the new policy under pres¬sure from the adminstrators. With a newalcohol policy, a change in Are safetyrules and a general fixing up of thehouses, the adminstration hopes to re¬duce safety risks in general.U of C seems to be following suit.Though the houses are independentlyowned by alumni and Insurance is ob¬tained through the national chapters,fraternities must respect the wishes ofthe University in order to preserve theircharters and remain a part of the nation¬al organization. University policy, whichchanged in April of 1983 requires all thatactivities obey Illinois state law.Ralph Hamilton, assistant dean of stu¬ dents and advisor to the fraternities stat¬ed, “We try to respect the independenceand at the same time we want to makesure they provide a positive environmentwithin The University. There is a tensionbetween these two approaches. It is atension which has been creative and withwhich we live.”Last weekend Phi Delta Theta wasasked not to serve mixed drinks at itsparty because a MAB sponsored dancewas held across the street. Fraternitybrothers said they believe the University,was afraid that people would drink toomud) and be a problem at the dance.“The problems I have seen with studentsand alcohol have occurred when hard al¬cohol is involved,” stated Hamilton.Vodka and tonics no longer appear atAlpha Delta Phi’s Wednesday nightstudy break due to an initial request last spring by the administration and newpressure from their alumni because ofthe high risk of running a “bar.” Theonly remaining “cocktail hour” is PhiGamma Delta’s, Ted Repass, a Phi Gambrother, said be hopes people “come tomeet other people, not to be Masted.”So there seems to be a gradual phasingout of hard liquor at fraternities,whether it be through the University orpressure from their hard-hit NationalChapters. Phi Deit expects a new policyfrom their National, and the ban lastweek may become permanent. But all isnot lost. After all, “beer is the mainstayof fraternity parties,” Paul Demopoulisof Phi Delt points out. Besides, those whowant to drink can do do privately, beforethe party or with their brothers on thehouse’s upper floors.Kuviasungnerk to brighten next week with winter funBy Robert Black* Contributing WriterKuviasungnerk, the traditional U of Cwinter festival, will take place January 27through February 2 complete with wintersports concerts, lectures and unusual activi-Kuviasungnerk, now in its fourth year ofexistence, was started by College Advisorand Associate Dean of Students Sonia Ja¬cobson (now the program’s advisor) andDirector of Orientation Jean Treese. Jacob¬son said that there had been “a real need formore activities on campus in winterquarter,” when the weather produces asomewhat dismal atmosphere. The eventwill be organized this year by the CollegeStudent Association (CSA).The idea of a week-long festival cameabout as a way of making winter quarter amove positive experience by having activi¬ties that everyone could participate in andhave tan—for free. The name Kuviasung¬nerk was chosen by Jacobson; the word isEskimo, and means “comfort in winter” or“the pursuit of Measure.”Included in the activities planned for nextweek are “Vengance with a Snowball”(throwing snowballs at replicas of your fa¬vorite faculty); Ice Sculpturing; Winter Olympics (Broomball wars), a lu’au inBartlMt, replete with Hawaiian dancers,volleyball and lots of sand; “FiresideChats”, a series of afternoon lectures givenby faculty members In Ida Noyes Libraryeach day at 4pm; and a Junk Food StudyBreak (Wednesday night in Reynold’sClub).In the way of entertainment, movies willbe shown throughout the week in Kent Hall,and two Kuviasungnerk concerts are sche¬duled. The University Symphony Orchestrawill perform in Mandel Hall, Wednesdaynight at 9:30; and a Saturday night concert,presented by the Major Activities Board,will feature the groups tbe Beasbe Boys,Red Hot Chilee Peppers and Trouble Funk.At midnight on Saturday, tbe Rocky HorrorPicture Show will play In Hutch Commons.Dean of the College Donald Levine willlead early morning activities throughoutthe week. From 8:46 to 9:00 each morning inthe Henry Crown Field House, Levine willlead Kangeiko, consisting of martial artslemons and exercises. Levine will teachAkklo, and other instructors will be there toteach Tai Chi, Tae Kwan Do, and Karate.Dean Levine was one of tbe faculty whopioneered Kuviasungnerk four years ago.He said that he, as well as the others, had frit tbe need to “reframe the winter experi¬ence (Tom a time of low-energy life to amore positive experience.” Kangeiko wasintroduced In tbe first winter festival, and itcaught on fast with students, he said.Oh Wednesday morning at 6:30, Levinewill lead a group trip to tbe point to watchtbe sunrise. This trip has become a sort ofKuviasungnerk tradition already. It hastaken place all four years, as Levine said,“(four years ago) we decided that weshould have one early morning activity out¬side.” To help prepare for the event, Profes¬sor Wendy O’Flaherty will be present dur¬ing Kangeiko on Tuesday to teach studentsGayatri, the Sanskrit hymn to tbe sun,which the group will attempt to chant as thesunrises.This winter will be the first time that thefestival is being run entirely by students.According to Sue Wrobel, bead of the CSA,more events have been scheduled this yearto “gear the activities more toward stu¬dents (in the College).” In past winters, shenoted, tbe kinds ofbig events planned by tbefaculty would be an eighteenth-centurystyle dinner with classical music, or a aemi-fermal jazz party. This year, she said, tbelu’au, tbe coocert on Saturday and the show¬ing of late-night movies have been planned to be more “College-oriented”. Jacobsonagreed, saying that the activities will con¬tinue later into the nigit than tbey had in tbepast.People who wish to help out with any oftbe events can either leave their names intbe CSA mail folder, or contact Jacobson,Wrobel, or anyooe else involved. Said Wro¬bel, “there’s a lot of work to do and thereare many diverse activities taking Mace soanyone who is interested can get involved.”Look for printed Kuviasungnerk-Weekschedules. Tee-shirts and sweatshirts willalso be on sale.Medical Centercontinued from page onenomic problems. He further stated that inthe hum ran thorn served by a combinedhospital would be better cared for.Roaen added that “no consideration Isbeing gives to going to a Humana-type orga-Msattan.” Humana Is a nation-wide for prof¬it boqrital chain.The Investment Banking DivisionofGoldman, Sachs & Co.cordially invites interested undergraduatesto an information session on careersin investment bankingTuesday, January 28,1986North Lounge Rockefeller Memorial Chapel5850 S.

January 24,1996—3V£,v ”>< ..... mAre you pre-poverty or pre-law?By Michael FitzgeraldContributing WriterForget about the number of majors the Uof C says it offers; only four categories ofstudents exist; pre-med,pre-law, pre¬professional, and pre-poverty.Each group exhibits distinctive charac¬teristics. Peculiar to each is a special test;and these tests reveal pungent secrets aboutthe takers. There is the GMAT (GreedyMales Avoiding Taxes), the LSAT (Lasci¬vious Sots Averting Truth), the MCAT(Monetus Countus All The Way to Thebank), and the GRE (Idealists and FutureHomemakers of America).As they head into their respective testingareas, The American Dream gleams fromtheir eyes — or is it really The CosmopolitanIdeal? After all, the car is German, theclothes are Italian, the electronic equip¬ment is Japanese and the sheepdog is En¬glish. Oh yes, the drugs are Latin Ameri¬can. Treschic!Though dramatically different, you can’ttell the various subspecies apart without thetests. Chameleon like, they all wear dilapi¬dated jeans, crewneck sweaters, and dieubiquitous soft-collared, creatue-adomed,short-sleeved shirt. Ah, but the diligent ob¬server will discern certain characteristicsthat splinter members from this ambi-tiousblob of humanity.Pre-meds, for instance, have a slightlypallid complexion caused by excessiveamounts of time spent in the closet. Theyusually speak in raspy tones acquired bystretching the vocal cords during the longhours spent denying their aspirationstowards doctordom. They also spend a lot oftime padding their lists of accomplish¬ments.Chronic pre-meds verged on the hyperac¬tive in high school. Take Jimmy Pre-med asa specific case. Jimmy wasn’t just youraverage overachiever in high school. Hewent beyond mere letters in football, bas¬ketball, baseball and track, captaining thevarsity club and presiding over the studentcouncil (he memorized Robert’s Rules ofOrder), while dating (and then dumping)the head cheerleader. No, he also avoidedacne, starred in the school musical, and, ofhow, captained the 4H club (They try not tobrag about that one. Especially whenthey’re from some East Coast City and werealso the founder and sole member of the4—H club.).Then there’s Dirk Pre-professional. Thisguy marketed his own brand of yogurt be¬fore he was out of 7th grade, and did so wellthat Dannon bought the rights to his recipefor a price that is paying his exorbitant tu¬ition (this isn’t really a stab at the cost of aU of C education — I can appreciate thativory is tough to come by on the blackmar-ket, and the towers around here aren’t get¬ting any shorter). Dirk dated the entire ho¬mecoming court, simultaneously, picked upthe headcheerleader as she rebounded offJimmy Pre-med, explored her anatomy(without describing each part in detail, as was J.P.’s annoying and occasionally frus¬trating habit), then dumped her.Once they’re in college (sometimesknown as I Use U), they tend to carry theWall St. Journal around (heaven forbid theyshould read it), fret about homework, andmajor in economics (for some reason eco¬nomics and money become synonymousonce you start college — if you don’t believeme, just ask your mother).Pre-laws are unstable. Law attractedthem as children, when they watched PerryMason destroy victims (they intuitivelyknew that Perry was always the last onepicked when teams were chosen, just likethem, and got his revenge by ravaging vic¬tims on the witness stand). The typical pre¬law spent the formative years developing ablunt wit and winning debate tournaments(most certainly unstable behavior). Theyjabber incessantly and become adept ca¬suists (look it up, future lawyers), whichwill serve them well.Susan Pre-Law is a typical example.Strictly no-nonsense (right down to thepanty hose under her plaid wool skirt), sherealizes that life is a bother unless lawschool is achieved. Also realizing that law isa trivial pursuit that requires commandover esoteric facts, she begins doing ho¬mework the summer before she matricu¬lates and doesn’t stop until she is acceptedby a polo-class law school (i.e. Harvard). Toget a real edge on the competition, shemoves into Burton-Judson, which is not onlynext to the Law School but has bonafide lawstudents living in it (we think. They maybeon strike).Now, with all of these activities, Sallydoesn’t have time to date. Then again, shealready knows about men. She went to highschool with Jimmy and Dirk (and the headcheerleader. Sue’s pancreas oozed for theheadcheerleader, who was not only an easylay but was also one of the girls who tookDomestic Life classes in high school andgave a valedictory address about the joys ofcheesecake).Then there are those aberrant few whofind thoughts of professional school painful.These people flock to academic pursuits likelemmings to the sea. They are, admittedly,weird.Typically, such folks spend long hours inthe library reading all the books in print ona given topic. Their eyes are bloodshot notfrom certain illicit habits but from poringover Plato.Yet these closet geniuses, who will some¬day terrorize their classmates’ children(you think I jest — look at the great godWeintraub, and swallow your laughter),work harder to make less money than any oftheir compadres. What makes them pursuetheir goals with a morbid dedication thatcan only be envied by budding investmentbankers and plastic surgeons?It’s simple. They’re still trying to impressthe head cheerleader.Mike Fitzgerald is a fourth-year student inthe College.

His point, namely, thatthe models’ “willingness to be admired is noreflection on their intelligence” (andshouldn’t be) is perfectly valid and I agreewit it. But that’s hardly the point here es¬pecially in light of some of the asinine state¬ments fte maxes along the way. I wouldnever say that modeling reflects intelli¬gence, but I just might argue that it does re¬flect values to some degree. At any rate,“what’s wrong with intelligent womenwanting to be represented as beautiful?”Mr. Edwards asks.First ot an, mieuigence nas notmng to aowith it; it’s the women being represented asnecessarily beautiful that bothers femin¬ists. This Women of the U of C calendar, byportraying beautiful women exclusively, re¬flects and propagates the patriarchal notion(I hope these words are not too “weighty”for you, Mr. Edwards) that beauty is some¬how an integral part of womanhood, that awoman is somehow less a woman if she isnot attractive to men. Secondly, such com¬mercialization also propagates a male-defined standard of what feminine beauty isand should be, thus trapping so manywomen in often stultifying modes of dressand behavior.I could stop now, but Mr. Edwards’ fur¬ther comment that beauty and intelligenceare “equally admirable” qualities for an in¬dividual (pardon my paraphrase) is such aTerry Edward'sTo the Editor:Terry Edwards is clearly looking forsome controversy—perhaps it excites or en¬tertains him, like the cheesy little calendarhe chose as his subject is supposed to do.But as far as controversy goes, I think hemissed the mark a bit.He attacks a viewpoint that supposedlycomes from the “militant pseoudofemin-ists”—based on one short out of contextquote. Just who are these “militant pseudo¬feminists”, and how does Terry Edwardsclaim to know what they think? He seems tobe responding to a straw man, as if were, offeminism. Could it be that Edwards is re¬sponding to a criticism that isn’t reallythere (or at least, isn’t framed in his terms)because he needs to defend his own enjoy¬ment of the calendar? Poor Terry. Are youafraid that some gorgon of feminism isgoing to rip the sticky little calendar out ofyour hands?Let’s face it—feminists have far more im¬portant things to do with their time thanconcern themselves with such trivia, or crock of... well, I won’t say it (here), but itneeds addressing. Sure, I’d agree that “it’sfine to admire intelligence or athletic abilityor beauty or whatever.” / certainly do; butagain, you’ve missed the point, Mr. Ed¬wards—and you came so close when youhinted (albeit somewhat incorrectly) at ath¬letics being an achievement, while beauty isnot. Actually, both beauty and athleticability can be viewed as achievements ofsorts for, despite real genetic dispositionstoward athletics and/or beauty (and/or in¬telligence) each “quality” of an individualis still very often the product of serious cul¬tivation of some “talent” - even beauty hasto be cultivated, i.e., achieved, to some ex¬tent. So what? Who is to judge what quali¬ties are important? Why is beauty so sacred(in women) ? Why is beauty the only qualitydemonstrated by these “model” U of Cwvrncu, wneii good pnotography has beenseen to be capable of depicting so muchmore? I parody these questions from Mr.Edwards, who meant his to be rhetorical, Ibelieve, but there are answers to each. Forexample, in our society, men are to judge;and beauty is sacred because, next to child¬birth, beauty is the only tangible thing menfind in women that they cannot seem to findin themselves.So if you wanted to call this silly calendar“Patriarchal Concepts of Beauty in WomenAs Seen Through the Eyes of a Few U of CMen”...well, maybe I could have let it ride.I would still object to the calendar, ofcourse, but at least I could respect your call¬ing this spade a spade.Laura J. Edwards(no relation)misses the markbother trying to enlighten frat boys. Femin¬ists are not going to be interested in con¬demning the models; their personal mo¬tives for posing are their own business, andshouldn’t be a matter of public speculation.(I’m more interested in the fact that theyweren’t paid to pose—maybe they need a lit¬tle sisterly support for their rights morethan they need to be condemned.) Ultimate¬ly, the “din of little voices” whining inTerry Edwards’ ear are products of his ownphallocentric projection of what feminismis. Did it ever occur to you, Terry old boy,that feminism might be less concerned witharguing with men, and more concerned withwomen’s process of coming to self-knowl¬edge—that men might be kind of besides thepoint?I’d tell you more about this, my “fellow”students, except I think I’ve just about ex¬hausted the energy I occasionally reservefor talking to brick walls.Mea (bleeding) Culpa,Stephanie BaconSG's Playboy speaker is an insultTo the Editor:The University of Chicago Student Gov¬ernment will spend $2163 this February tobring James Peterson of Playboy magazineto speak on “Love and Sex.” I find it highlyobjectionable that Mr. Peterson wiU speakas the invited guest of the student Govern¬ment Activities Committee, and it is hard tobelieve that they couldn’t find a moreworthwhile program to fund. Playboy,Salem cigarette ads, and indeed most ad¬vertising, television, and film, present andperpetuate a point of view where women areseen as sex objects rather than people.We all understand that there still is a lot ofsexism in our society, “even” in concrete issues like salaries and hiring, availabilityof daycare, proportion of women in science,and the educational system which producesthese skewed conditions. The mass media-magazines, T.V., etc. -are very importantin forming and perpetuating sexist atti¬tudes. These attitudes permit discrimina¬tory practices to continue.I’m not advocating censorship. Let Mr.Peterson come. But it is important that wechallenge what he promotes, and I hope hisaudience will do this. At the same time, it isan insult to every woman that the Universi¬ty of Chicago is spending $2000 on a speakerfrom Playboy.Dr. Jennie Traschenmpberrv©1986 DEVARJ DESIGN PHOTO SHANOORMR. <5'S IN A JAM.Bill Gerstein’s in a jam, allright.’Cause he makessure there are over fortyvarieties of the sweet stuffat Mr. G’s.We’re talkingConcord Grape Jam.Boysenberry Preserves.

However,this quarter, an unusual number of studentshave come to the Ombudsman’s Office com¬plaining that they are being unfairlycharged for books.In four cases, the library records indicatethat the student lost the book and is thus ob¬liged to pay the replacement fee. This feecan amount to $50. The student, on the otherhand, claims he has returned the books buthas no proof. In such cases, the student mayrequest a review of library charges. TheClaims department will search for the bookin the stacks. If the search is unsuccessful,Claims gives the task to the Tracing depart¬ment which searches for the book for up totwo months. Even after this time haselapsed, the student may again appeal tothe Claims department.F.owever, because the library system atthf University is so large, the Ombuds¬man’s Office believes it highly unlikely thatthe book will be found somewhere in thestacks among the millions of volumes.When the Claims department can’t locatethe book, the student is obliged to pay thereplacement fee.This problem stems from carelessness.Sometimes it is the student who may becareless. He may have lost the book or for¬gotten that he ever took it out. Other times,the staff at the Circulation desk may not re¬cord the return of books accurately. TheUniversity library system is in the processof computerizing its circulation system, anda few malfunctions may arise as a result ofcarlessness or ignorance on the part of thestaff.There seems to be no clear-cut solution tothis problem, but a few precautions mighthelp to decrease the number of grievanceswith the Circulation department. The Om¬budsman’s Office urges students to keepgood records on all books and materialsthey take out from the library. If the studentcan present accurate records, the Claims Housing and CommonsHospitals and Clinicslegal ProblemsStudent EmploymentAdministrative AffairslibraryDisciplineSexual HarassmentDiscriminationMiscellaneous 10department is more likely to be attentive tohis case.In addition, I feel the library systemshould take steps to ensure that all returnedbooks are properly recorded and reshelved.The Ombudsman’s Office realizes that mis¬takes are made, but the library staff mustunderstand that these mistakes may costsome students time and money.To sum it up, the library staff and the stu¬dent population should recognize that aproblem exists, and both parties should takesteps to eliminate or at least minimize theproblem.Business School FacultyOver the past two quarters, two cases in¬volving Business School students have cometo the attention of the Ombudsman’s Officethat involve faculty “accountability.”In one case, a student had taken a finalexam and had received a course grade hehad not expected. The final was not re¬turned to the student through the normalchannels in the Business School. The stu¬dent then spoke to the professor who said “itwas not his practice” to return final exams.The student challenged the professor onthis, claiming that he wanted to see whatmistakes he had made on the exam. Theprofessor relented and promised to return acopy of the final with comments within twoweeks. Two months later, after countlessnotes and phone calls, the student received his exam, but even then only with the assis¬tance of the Dean’s office.In a second case, a student received an“F” on a final exam. The student wanted tospeak to the professor about the grade butwas immediately referred to the grader.The grader met with the student but themeeting did not resolve the matter nor did itanswer the student’s questions.The student then attempted to contact theprofessor, but the professor had already leftthe University. Only through the help of theDean of Students’ Office, and after threemonths, was the student able to learn whyhe had faded the test. Throughout theprocess the professor was uncooperativewith the student.These two cases seem to demonstrate aclear lack of accountability on the part ofthe faculty involved. The Ombudsman’s Of¬fice believes, and the Dean’s Office of theBusiness School concurs, that when a facul¬ty member assigns a grade he has the obli¬gation to provide the student with enough in¬formation to make it clear why the studentreceived the grade he did. This can includecomments on the paper or conversationswith the student.The Ombudsman’s Office recognizes thata professor has the right to issue any gradehe deems appropriate, but along with thisright, the professor has the obligation toback the grade up with an explanation. If astudent wants to appeal for a higher grade,the professor should listen to the student’sarguments, reconsider the grade, and thenexplain to the student why the grade will orwill not be changed. The Ombudsman’s Of¬fice believes this is not an undue burden toput on faculty; it is only part of their job.Although these two cases relate specif¬ically to the Business School, the principlesobviously apply across the University. De¬spite the touchy nature of the problem, theOmbudsman’s Office found the Dean’s Of¬fice in the Business School to be extremelyreceptive and supportive and commendsthem for their responsiveness.Sexual HarassmentOnly one case involving sexualharassment came to the attention of theOmbudsman in the Fall of 1985, but we con¬sider this problem serious enough to com¬ment on it here.A student, accompanied by an instructorand a few other students, went on a socialouting. That night, the instructor insisted onbehaving in a lecherous manner towards the student, even though the student made itclear that no such behavior would be to¬lerated. In subsequent meetings, the in¬structor was rude and offensive to the stu¬dent.A student may register a formal com¬plaint of sexual harassment through threechannels. The first two are outlined in theStudent Information Manual. The studentshould register a written complaint with theacademic Dean of the College or the appro¬priate Division or School. That official is re¬sponsible for investigating the complaintand informing the Provost of the formalcomplaint. If the student is uncomfortableseeing the appropriate Dean, he or sheshould file a formal complaint with the Of¬fice of the Provost. The Provost, who acts asDean of the Faculty, then investigates thecomplaint.On occasion, however, the victim of sex¬ual harassment may feel uncomfortablecarrying out the complaint his or herself. Insuch a case, the Ombudsman may act as therepresentative of the student, and with theassistance of the Office of the Provost, theymay register the complaint with the appro¬priate Dean. The student in the above casechose to register her grievance in this man¬ner.These three options exist to ensure theprivacy of the victim. All actions taken bythe Ombudsman in sexual harassmentcases require the specific and explicit con¬sent of the victim. If the charges are upheld,the offending faculty member may be repri¬manded; a note may be added to his or herpersonnel file, or, in the most serious cases,he or she may be asked not to return to theUniversity. When a student is a victim ofsexual harassment, the student should seethe Ombudsman immediately to decidewhat course of action best fits the student’swishes. If the student is reluctant to see theOmbudsman, for whatever reason, he orshe should speak to a person with whom heor she feels comfortable — a Resident Head,a member of the faculty, or an academic ad¬visor.The Ombudsman’s Office considers sex¬ual harassment to be an extremely seriousmatter. While the Ombudsman’s Office can¬not regulate social behavior, is stronglyurges faculty members to maintain “a pro¬fessional distance” with students in theirclasses. Students are subordinate to teach¬ers in the classroom and thus prey to exploi¬tation. It is the teacher’s obligation to seethat this exploitation never occurs.university IS theaterWINTER ’86 SCHEDULETHE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNESTThis weekendTHE LITTLE FOXES4th weekendSNOW WHITE and HANSEL AND GRETEL5th weekendANIMAL CRACKERS6th & 7th weekendsKOOKY FRENCH PLAYS8th weekendBIEDERMANN AND THE FIREBUGS9th weekendAll performances in the Reynolds Club6—The Chicago Maroon—Friday, January 24, 1986And like the Macintosh, the Macintosh Plus runs hun¬dreds of powerful and unique software programs.APPLE COMPUTER INTRODUCES THE NEW MACINTOSH PLUS!!It the Macintosh Plus looks familiar, it's simple to learnand use.

The average wait to access the co-muter was about 30 seconds, and in peakhours as high as half an hour. “We wererunning at 100% capacity,” said Hamlin.The system was also plagued by mainte¬nance problems and down time. sexually harassed on campus, the debaterecently reached a fever pitch when Presi¬dent Sheldon Hackney dismissed the sur¬vey’s results because they included “peerharassment.”“It’s confusing to equate jokes, gesturesand leers with actual assault,” Hackneytole the Penn student newspaper. “It mayeven trivialize what is a very seriousissue.”Others disagreed.“While a leer or a rude joke, or havingsomeone look at your chest instead of yourface is not physically harmful, they can bementally and emotionally harmful and theycan stop an individual from pursuing a par¬ticular career or opportunity, ” former Pennstudent leader Amy Lyman says.Although many schools have dormitorypolicies designed to discourage peer sexharassment, student leaders rarely enforcethem, Campbell reports.In her national survey, Campbell alsofound that two-thirds of all schools now haveprocedures for letting students complainabout harassment.But it also showed that less than 15 per¬cent of the schools have conducted surveysto measure how much of a problem theyhave.“Many administrators won’t believe it’s aproblem on their campus until they do theirown survey,” Campbell says. “When theysee the results they are frequentlyshocked.”With the new system, two BurroughsA15’s, access time has been reduced toabout 2 seconds and downtime has been vir¬tually eliminated. Because the new systemis much smaller, it has less electricity andmaintenance requirements. With these sav¬ings it is expected to pay for itself, approxi¬mately $4 million, in about three and a halfyears. The Medical Center will also be ableto send out its bills much sooner.With the increased capacity of the com¬puters the Medical Center can expand itsservices. A whole new set of patient caresoftware is going to be added. With the newsoftware, nurses and physicians will be ableto use the computer to order or receive testresults. They will also be able to judge apersons acuity which is very critical for pa¬tient care. Administrators also have been slow to re¬spond to harassment suffered by staffmembers, Sandler adds.Campbell remains “disheartened and dis¬couraged” by the slow pace of reform,though she acknowledges the efforts proba¬bly have prompted students to feel morecomfortable talking about harassmentaimed at them.The administrators surveyed by Camp¬bell estimate that between 20 and 30 percentof their female students experience sexharassment in college, but only one-tenth ofthem are likely to report it.One solution is to encourage students tosend private letters by registered mail toprofessors who are harassing them, Sandlersays.Letters that contain a detailed descriptionof the incident, how the student feels aboutwhat happened, and a demand that theharassment stop, often help end the prob¬lem without the publicity that makes manystudents reluctant to complain, Sandlersays.Donuts for DonorsBy Sonja SpearStaff WriterMitchell Hospital has begun its annual“Donuts for Donors” campaign to mark Na¬tional Volunteer Blood Donor Month at theUniversity Blood Bank.The Blood Bank has posted signs through¬out the campus and it has appealed to stu¬dent groups, University and Hospital em¬ployees, and the families of those in need ofblood. “We have had a very good responsethe last several days,” said Manager ofDonor Resources, Gail Borchers. However,she stresses the need for more donations.“Current inventory is at the seventy-per¬cent level which is down by thirty percent.We are experiencing a nationwide bloodshortage now because few people donateduring the holidays so donations made inDecember run out by January.”Donors are encouraged to make an ap¬pointment though walk-in donors can usual¬ly be accommodated between 8:30 am and4:30 pm, Monday though Friday.Blood donations can be made at the BloodDonation Center, TW001, Mitchell Hospital,962-6247.Free donuts will be offered to donorsthrough January 24.Medical center gets new computersOUR REGULAR PRICE•COMPLETEsingle visiondesigner glasses$3375Offer expires 1/31/86Contacts & SpecsUnlimitedGLASSES AT OURGOLD COAST LOCATION ONLY!3144 N.

We alsowere not well informed about the current re¬search and teaching of our own depart¬ment.The greater concentration of intellectualpower and energy appears to occur at themargins of the field and includes some per¬sons who do and some who do not identifythemselves as geographers. It is in thissense especially that geographic studiescontain an integrative potential that the Un-iversty would do well to exploit.In the course of our interviews and read¬ing, we encountered three areas of currentresearch that illustrate this potential. Thereno doubt are others that a more informedsurvey would reveal. In any event, the ex¬amples that we shall list are of particularinterest because they could build upon fac¬ulty members and research programs al¬ready at the University and would not re¬quire much investment aside frompersonnel.Theoretical and conceptual studies oflarge spatial information systems. Thegrowth of agencies concerned with regionaland world wide envioramental analysis andresource management, coupled with thetechnological capacity to generate perti¬nent data, has led to the development ofvery large data banks and a demand for themeans of reducing and analyzing such databoth numerically and graphically. Thesedevelopments are beginning to stimulateconceptual thinking about underlyingtheories of spatial relations, of spatial re¬presentation, and of large scale informationstructures that permit economical general¬ization.Although other geography departmentsconduct strong applied programs in thisarea (e.c., Minnesota, Penn State, and theUniversity of California, Santa Barbara),the theoretical and conceptual work re¬mains to be done. As such work proceeds, itshould develop close ties to social scientificconceptions of (1) spatial components of so¬cial organizations and (2) man-environ¬ment interaction. Similary close ties shoulddevelop to current research in computerscience.(2) Understanding the interaction of phys¬ical and biological systems with social sys¬tems. This work leads into historical studiesof the causal chains linking components ofthese three systems and into contemporaryanalysis and policy and planning applica¬tions concerning global habitability. Exam¬ples here include studies of the conse¬quences of atmospheric circulation for thesustenance of human communities (and ofthe development of these communities forchange in the physical environment), con¬sequences of geological events for alter¬ation of the biomass and, thus, for the suste¬nance of human social forms, and (with amore dramatic contemporaneity) modelingthe envioramental and social effects of nu¬clear war. There has been relatively little socialscience input to this work so far, and itposes challenges to the conceptualization ofspatial organization (physical, bioecologi-cal, and social) and to the spatial analysis ofdata.(3) Environmental perception and sym¬bolization. A number of geographers are atwork in this field which has connections toboth cognitive psychology and studies of thesymbolic elements of social action. Theformer includes work on the ways in whichhuman beings form the constructs that theyused to understand and interpret their sur¬roundings and the consequences of theseconstructs for their uses of the physical, bio¬logical, and social environments. The latterseek to understand the symbolic signifi¬cance of both the natural and the construct¬ed environment in human social relations.Organization. Having satisfied ourselvesthat geography, defined broadly as an inte¬grative field, is promising and that variousinnovative and important lines of workcould be pursued at this University, weturned to the next of our questions — how toorganize and focus the University’s intellec¬tual resources so that geography could be¬come an integrative field at Chicago and, assuch, a creative force in geographic stu¬dies.The Department of Geography continuesto include excellent scholars. It has benefit¬ed from the work of a vigorous, responsible,and thoughtful chairman. In our judgment,however, given the intellectual commit¬ments of its faculty, the present Depart¬ment is not likely to provide the intellectualand organizational leadership that the fore¬going task will require. There is consider¬able evidence that the Department hasturned inward, as is evidenced by the mi¬gration of faculty to other departments and,if we are correctly informed, by low rates offaculty participation in interactive ventureswith colleagues elsewhere in the Universityand relatively infrequent graduate studentregistration in courses outside the depart¬ment.In addition, the Department is short-staffed. In 1975-76, for example, the Depart¬ment included nine faculty, who were work¬ing with nineteen Masters and twenty-threePh.D. students. The nine faculty each gaveprimary effort to the department. Ten yearslater, the effective size of the faculty is five,with six Masters students and 2 Ph.D. stu¬dents. In 1984-85, the other major geographydepartments in the U. S. continued no lessthan eleven full-time equivalent faculty. Inour judgment, the Department now has toofew faculty members to sustain a graduateprogram or to provide the intellectual den¬sity that fosters excellent research. We areconvinced that one prime reason for the De¬partment’s declining graduate enrollmentis the insufficiency of its faculty resources. To rebuild Chicago geography would re¬quire the combination of five key elements:(1)a new infusion of leadership; (2)astableorganizational base; (3) a core faculty en¬gaged in research with a strong integrativepotential; (4) cross-disciplinary interac¬tion; and (5) a field of application. We shallspeak to each of these elements in turn.(1) Leadership. Given the present situa¬tion in our Department, it will be necessaryto recruit a chair from outside the Depart¬ment (probably from outside the Universi¬ty). The criteria for recruitment should in¬clude, first and foremost, ability toconceptualize the Department’s role in away that will realize the field’s integrativepotential and the judgment and energy nec¬essary to recruit additional new facultysuited to this departmental role.(2) An organizational base. If suitableleadership could be found, a stable organ¬izational base would be required for the for¬mation and execution of personnel policy,for instruction, and to provide a home forfaculty centrally engaged in geographic re¬search. To diffuse responsibility for thesefunctions to other departments or units ofthe University in effect would mean thatgeographic research and related teachingwould become everybody’s business and,hence, nobody’s business, with adverse re¬sults. It would dilute the effect to beachieved by integrating diverse intellectualprojects within a single arena.(3) Core faculty. The Department would,as an essential ingredient, contain its owncore faculty, but with research interests ofstrong integrative potential. By no meanswould all of these facility necessarily haveformal geographic affiliations or training.Some three or four appointments of youngerscholars working on complementary, inno¬vative areas of geographic inquiry could doa great deal to infuse new intellectual en¬ergy into the Department and increase itsattractiveness as a focus for interactionwith other members of the University facul¬ty.(4) Interdisciplinary interaction. An ar¬rangement would be required to encouragefaculty interaction across disciplinaryboundaries. We see two ways that one mightorganize for this purpose. Each has its ownadvantages and disadvantages, and we donot wish to recommend one over the other.Such matters should be considered furtherif action is to be taken to rebuild geogra¬phy.According to one model, the Departmentwould be expanded to include a fairly exten¬sive array of joint appointments with otherdepartments in the Division of SocialSciences and probably in the biological andphysical sciences Divisions as well. Notethat the more interesting U.S. departmentsof geography are characterized by quite ex¬ tensive networks of joint appointmentswith, we are told, significant positive effectson Interactive research and instruction(e.g., Minnesota and Penn State).According to the second model, Depart¬mental memberhip would be limited for themost part to what we have described as thecore geographic faculty. (One would hopethat this faculty would benefit from reversemigration of present joint appointees.) Inaddition, a center or institute for geograph¬ic studies would be established, with Uni¬versity-wide faculty membership and as anadjunct to the Department.(5)A field of application. Some provisionfor ties to one or another field of application,such as urban or regional planning, in factwould be quite desirable. Such ties infuseideas into research, open avenues for re¬search support, and are an aid in the re¬cruitment of able, interesting students. Tiesto an applied field are somewhat more diffi¬cult to form at a university like ours than ata state university, but thought should begiven to possible relationships between areorganized Department of Geography and,for exmple, work in Social Service Adminis¬tration, the Committee on Public Policy Stu¬dies, and the new Center for Urban PolicyStudies.Enrollment. If there is to be a departmentof geography, it must draw a sufficientnumber of students to sustain its teachingprograms. So far as the College is con¬cerned, the present Department has offeredpre-concentration courses that have beenwell-received and well-enrolled. The geog¬raphy concentration in recent years hasconsistently drawn from twelve to fifteenconcentrators. Presumably, a stronger de¬partment would improve upon this alreadycreditable record.Graduate enrollment presents a less en¬couraging picture. We have already men¬tioned a marked decline over the past tenyears, a shrinkage of about fifty percent.Declining enrollments have been the gener¬al picture in geography and the other socialsciences during the decade, but the reduc¬tion in our Department is rather sharperthan one observes across our social sciencedepartments or among U. S. geography de¬partments. Moreover, although the trendsin graduate admissions to our Departmenthave not been entirely consistent over thepast ten years, we note that whereas in1974-75 an admission rate of 73 per centyielded 33 admissions, in 1984-85 an admis¬sion rate of 91 per cent yielded ten admis¬sions.Recommendations. We recommend for¬mation of an ad hoc committee (drawn pri¬marily, but not necessarily exclusively,from the Division of Social Sciences) tosearch for a new geography chair, thesearch to be framed within the terms of theforegoing discussion. The aim would be tosecure a first-rate geographical scholarwith a vision of the kind (though not neces¬sarily of the exact substance) that our re¬port has suggested and with the requisitezeal and energy.If the search for a new chair were not suc¬cessful, we would then recommend dissolv¬ing the present Department of Geography.We would hope that you then would want tobe alert to and to encourage in the Universi¬ty toward formation of a committee orcenter for geographic studies (to secure atleast some of the potential integrating ef¬fects of such studies). Also, it would be nec¬essary to consider whether the present un¬dergraduate concentration could bemaintained in the absence of a department(perhaps by the members of such a commit¬tee or center, if it came into being) andwhether other of the Division’s departmentscould be encouraged to recruit faculty withinterests in the more fruitful areas of geo¬graphic research.CHOCOLATE SOUP CAFEIS HERE!Every Saturday Night10 p.m. to MidnightHot Drinks 25$Fresh Pastries 50$— Tkis Week: ROBERTO WILSON • Haiti** Mmsic —Hillel House, 5715 S.

Their overall knowledge in thefield of education is excellent, but how about their knowledge of the Chicago Bears andthe New England Patriots? More specifically, are they as knowledgeable about theSuper Bowl as they are with other topics? During the past few days the Maroon hassolicited several Super Bowl predictions from various members of our prominent Uni¬versity community. These are their actual predictions and quotes:Hanna Gray, President and Trustee of the University:“The Bears will win in a Monstrous victory of the Midway.” Richard Taub, Professor of Social Sciences the College:“Bears by 21 points. The Bears defense should shut down the Patriots. 1 don t see tnePatriots scoring any more than two field goals. Final score 27-6.”Karl Weintraub, Professor or History: T J u“Any historian who attempts to predict the future is a fool. However, I do nope theBears win.”Patrick Billingsley, Professor of Statistics and Mathematics:“I’d bet on the Bears.”Charles O’Connell, Vice-President and Dean of Students in the Uni¬versity:“I’m scared of the Patriots. They are a very good team that deserves to be wherethey are. I’m worried because I feel that everyone is too cocky and overconfident. ThePatriots are too much like the Bears and although I hope the Bears win, I don’t seethem winning by more than 3 points.”Donald Levine, Dean of the College:“The Bears should win by 18 points. I see two key factors. The first is that McMahonmust wear the headband and the second is that the Bears have maintained their wintertraining program otherwise known as Kangeiko.”Herman Sinaiko, Dean of Students m the College:“The Bears by IOV2 points. I hope we shut the Patriots out. If Dent and Perry can getto Eason and record three or more sacks, we’ll be in business.”?■ 53f 5*55 5k * ? mi MM ’ I 7 v 50 j 5 P ..S3 70V ?9 3! ▼ -V-33 3' ! -45 % *T48% mConstance Holoman, Director of Student Housing:“The Bears by 17 points.

After all, the world does not always go by setrules.”**Merton Miller, Professor in Graduate School of Business:“I’ve been a long time Bears fan, so I think they will win. There is an expected valuefor a Bear’s win, but a certain random component still exists. I can’t predict the scorebut I will say that the Bears will beat the Patriots 7 out of 10 times.”Sam Peltzman, Professor in the Graduate School of Business:“Whatever Merton Miller predicts, deduct 4 points from the spread, and that’s myprediction.”Mary Jean Mulvaney, Chairman of Physical Education and Athlet¬ics:“I don’t think there is any question. The Bears will win by at least 10 points. Theirdefense is just too strong.” J. David Greenstone, Professor of Political Science:“I think it is obvious that the Bears will win...by at least 14 points. I also think thatthere is a 1 out of 3 chance that the Bears will shut them out. The key is the Bearsdefense. I mean you know that the Bears offense will score some points. So it is up tothe defense. If they have a bad day, the Bears may lose.”Nathan Tarcov, Associate Professor of Political Science:“I’m not an authority on football. I generally rely on Professor Greenstone’s predic¬tions and go with what he has to say.”John Mearsheimer, Associate Professor of Political Science:“The Bears will win 32-7.1 don’t see any keys. The Bears will win.”Edward Rosenheim, Professor of English Language and Litera¬ture:“I wouldn’t dream of predicting anyone but the Bears. Bears 28-14.”Mick Ewing, Head Football Coach:“I’d bet on the Bears. They should win 34-10. Coach Ditka has assembled an awesometeam and their superiority will prevail. The Patriots may have gotten better since theirlast meeting with the Bears but so have the Bears. These Monsters of the Midway aretoo tough. However, I’ve been wrong before and it could happen again.”Michael Melnichak, Manager Instructional Undergrad Labs ofChemistry:“I will have to go with the rest of city and pick the Bears by 10.”William Simms, Head Men’s and Women’s Tennis Coach:“Don’t be ridiculous! Who do you think will win? What city is this? Chi-town will pre¬vail!”Dan Hall, Dean of College Admissions and Aid:“...Bears 17-0. This will depend on how early the Bears can stop Eason. I feel that thedefense will hold them. However, if they are unable to stop Eason early, the score couldvery well be 27-17 in favor of the Bears.”Allen Sanderson, Assistant Provost:“The Bears by 15 points. The Bears defense is the key factor. Offense is more vari¬able than defense and I feel that with the Bears’ defense, it will be hard for the Patriotsto score.”Dianne Hermann, Associate Director Undergraduate Studies ofMathematics:“The Bears by 10. Jim McMahon’s health and whether he wears the David Letter-man headband are important factors.”Lorna Straus, Associate Professor Department of Anatomy:“There is no doubt that the Bears will win. I would love to see a shutout but I don’tthink that will happen. The Bears will win 21-7 and redeem Chicago.”Edward Garber, Professor of Biology:“The Bears will win by three touchdowns. Idon’t see the Patriots scoring more than10 points.”Ted Cohen, Professor of Philosophy:“I have nothing intelligent to say about football anymore than those who pretend to. Iwill say that I hope the Bears win. But I am really sick of all this advertising, I can’twait until this is over with, so we can get down to important stuff like spring train¬ing.”“-denotes the only member of our survey who selected the Patriots as the winner.Starkey Duncan, Professor of Behavioral Sciences:“Bears by 24 points. The dominating Bear defense will hold the Patriots to minimalscore.” We would like to thank those people who participated in our survey. We realize thatmany have hectic schedules and we truly appreciate them taking time to share theirSuper Bowl predictions.Lowdown on the lineup: Bears vs. Patriotst Bears vs. PatriotsKey MatchupsBy Matt SchaeferStaff WriterQuarterbacks - The Bears have thepunky one, Jim McMahon. McMahon fin¬ished as the NFC’s third leading passer. Hehas excellent running abilities and the abili¬ty to scramble. Savior image from the Mon¬day night Minnesota game no longer intact.Average human performances againstColts, Jets and Lions to round out the sea¬son.Tony Eason of the Patriots doesn’t comeout of the slow-footed mini QB mold - he canscramble. He doesn’t throw much in Patri¬ots scheme - but he’s very effective when hedoes. In the playoffs, he has completed 60%of his passes without an interception. Re¬member, Eason has more post season expe¬rience than McMahon (3 games to 2), andmore importantly has played on the road 3times already in the playoffs. This matchupis almost a toss-up provided the Patriots arenot forced into a must pass situation.Running Backs - Walter Payton quitesimply is the greatest ever to play the posi¬tion with the possible exception of JimBrown. Sometimes he is left in the role of adecoy though. Matt Suhey is a solid full¬back, but he does fumble on occasion. CalThomas is a capable backup. pu miNFL:Craig James, Tony Collins and Mosi Tatu-make up on of the finest backfields in theJames, the nifty runner, Collins, theall-purpose back, and Tatupu, the shortyardage man. Rate this even especially ifPayton becomes Mr. Decoy.Receivers - Dennis McKinnon and WillieGault have been outstanding in the playoffswith Gault surprisingly adept at hanging onto the tough ones. Irving Fryar’s injury de¬pletes the Pats’ receiving core. Fryar willplay, but how well? Stanley Morgan is aburner and Stephan Starring will play whenFrvar can’t.The Bears have the big Tight Ends inEmery Moorehead and Tim Wrightman,both with excellent hands. Patriots’ DerrickRamsey can catch, but can’t block as wellas the Bears’ Tight Ends.Offensive Line - John Hannah did notplay against the Bears in the second gameof the season. The Patriots’ line controlledthe Jets, the Raiders and the Dolphins - withthe Jets’ defensive ranking close to theBears in total defense.The Bears feature the “Black and BluesBrothers”. Both teams like to run to the leftwhere the Patriots have Hannah and theBears have Jimbo Covert. Both teams alsoblock the run better than the pass. Compa¬rable lines.Defensive Line • The Patriots will bewithout Kenneth Sims, their best defensivelineman. The Bears have three all-pros, who produced the most sacks and allowedthe fewest yards rushing. Clear edge to theBears.Linebackers - The Bears have the best inthe league, according to John Madden. Sing¬letary could be the NFC Most ValuablePlayer; Otis Wilson goes crazy like a dog;and Wilbur Marshall can deliver the knock¬out blow. For the Patriots, Andre Tippet is agamebreaker - look for him to be in the playthat stands out should the Patriots win.Defensive Backs - Who stopped the bestpasser there is (i.e. Dan Marino)? Edge tothe Patriots. Marino put up 31 points in onehalf vs. the 46 defense.Intangibles - Too much media hype andwild speculation of frivolous things on theBears side. Chicago teams have a history ofchoking, e.g., White Sox, Cubs, DePaul.Super Bowl History: Kansas City vs.Minnesota. Minnesota, a cold weather cen¬tral division team with a reputed rugged de¬fense called the Purple People Eaters camein a heavy favorite and got burned 23-7. TheEdge to the Pats.Special Teams - Butler and Franklin areabout even. Both have good range andButler won’t have to deal with the coldweather and wind of Chicago. Both kick wellon astroturf. Camarillo is a longer punterthan Buford. Both have had punts blockedthis year. Fryar will play in the game butisn’t sure if he’ll return kicks. Bears have16—The Chicago Maroon—Friday, January 24, 1986 shored up their weak kickoff coverage. Patshave stripped many balls on kickoffs.Keys to the Game - The Pats can’t fallbehind early. The must grab the lead pre¬ferably by running. This will slow the Bearspass rush, allow the Pats to stay out of amust pass situation, and consume time.Turnovers will be the key. The Pats caused14 turnovers in three playoff games and arelikely to have to cause at least four moreagainst the Bears to win. For the Bears,Payton must be used often in both runningand pass receiving roles. Against Miami,the Bears only loss, Payton was used as adecoy for play-action passes, sometimes ef¬fectively. The Bears won’t win on this alone. ,A healthy McMahon is a must. McMahonwon’t be saving his body this game and asore rump and astroturf don’t mix. Bearscomerbacks must be able to bump and runwith the speedy Fryar, Morgan, and Star¬ring, especially if the Pats try Marino-like3-step drop patterns. The Patriots must notgo into halftime on a “downer” like theGiants and Rams did after failing to scorefrom close range in still close games.Predictions - The Pats will score, theFridge won’t. The Pats backs and Paytonwill both rush for 100 yards...but just barelyfor both. One of the defenses will score. Lessthan 45 total points will be scored (theover/under is 38). The Pats won’t lose bymore than 21 or win by more than 10ViThe Third String Super Bowl hype comesI stated several weeks ago in this space that I didnot believe that the Bears would win the SuperBowl. There is only one game left, and if the Bearswin it, I’ll be wrong again (nothing you are not al¬ready used to).But I’ll remind you that last year I called theSuper Bowl right, and if you give the three pointsand took the Niners, you didn’t even have to break asweat. And as I look at the spread on Sunday’sgame, Bears minus 10 % points, all I can think of isGeorgetown minus 11, St. Louis 5-9 over KC, or 40-1on Boris Becker at the beginning of Wimbledon. Forthose brave enough to take a risk, the gamblingmarket has been very good.But after the kind of year it has been, it will meanlittle, little other than money that is, if the Patriotscover and yet do not beat the Bears. I will make thefollowing prediction, that New England will notcover unless they win. If you’re not good enough toFridge fever —The Bears are in the Super Bowl. I only mention thisbecause the University of Chicago seems to be the onlyplace in the city that has been immune to the hoopla.Consider the following:Item 1. Librarians at Regenstein reported no significantincrease in Walkman use on Sundays from noon to 3P.M. over a year ago.Item 2. On the first day of winter quarter after the maul¬ing of the New York Giants, less than 3% of the facultymentioned the Bears (even in passing) in their openinglecture.Item 3. On the day following the shellacking on the LosAngeles Rams, not one U of C student (in good stand¬ing) was seen sporting a “Rozelle” headband.Item 4. Overheard in Harper: “I can’t make our studygroup next Sunday, because my girlfriend invited somepeople over for the Super Bowl.” Apocryphal perhaps,but priorities are priorities.With this in mind, I feel it my civic duty to explainexactly who those people are and that you reveive pic¬tures of when you order a Big Mac.First of all, “Monsters of the Midway” does refer tothe Midway Plaisance, but the Monsters of the Midwayare the Bears, not, as is commonly thought, law schoolstudents. The Quarterback Jim McMahon, is a RomanCatholic who who attended BYU. This is akin to a sunworshiper attending the U of C.In case you forgot, the sun is this yellow ball of fire beat the Bears, you’re not even good enough toscore against them. And should New England win,it will complete the year of Cinderella, which wasno series of miracles, but the triumph of the incred¬ibly well prepared. And the Patriots have been in¬credibly well prepared by Raymond Berry.And should the Bears lose, it will keep alive a tra¬dition of very long standing, which seems to havebeen highlighted since I arrived on campus fouryears ago, and that is the tradition of the Chicagorepresentative losing the big game. When I was afirst year, DePaul lost to Fresno State in the finalsof the NIT. As a second year, I saw the Sox losethree in a row to the Orioles after winning the firstgame in Baltimore. As a third year, I left the Cubsthree-innings, or so, away from the pennant, butwhen I returned to the television with some friedchicken in my lap, all was lost. And now, as I winddown my career in Chicago, the Bears happen to bein the Super Bowl.that appears in what is known as a “blue” sky. No, I’venever seen it; but I’ve heard stories from my grand¬parents.I realize as I write this that I am approaching this inthe wrong way. Have you ever been in a course wheretwo days before the final you had no clue as to what wasgoing on because (a) you just blew it off (b) the profes¬sor was so boring you slept and/or skipped the lectures(c) the professor refused to use words less than 5 sylla¬bles (d) none of the above or (e) all of the above (which,of course, includes “none of the above”)? If in this situ¬ation, the last thing you need is a rehash of the materi¬al; you need tricks to get by on for the final.So here is how to get by on Super Sunday, if you think“Sweetness” is what is missing in Tab.Do not go to the library. Do not pass Go. Do not collect$200. Do not call your best friend in Boston. Get upearly, around 7:00 a.m., in order to get the special SuperBowl supplement in the Sunday papers. This will con¬tain every tackle of the season just passed. When youget to the Green Bay games, whenever you see thewords “William Perry,” you must cry out plaintively:“Aw Fridddddddge!”After reading this section (which should take to 1:30),turn the stereo to “The Super Bowl Shuffle”. No, itdoesn’t matter what station. Watch NFL ’85 from 2:00 to4:00 even though its 1986. Time how long they spend onstories about the Bears vs. stories about the Patriots vs. But should the Bears happen to win, it will pick upon another strain evident in the sporting world thispast year. In May, or was it June, the Lakers finallybeat the Celtics for the NBA World Championship.It was the Lakers first such success against theCelts in, I believe, but don’t take my word for it,seven tries. Certainly you remember the words ofLaker Coach Pat Riley on that occassion, that it’sall gone, the mystique, the psyche, the banners, theparquet floor. We beat it all and they can nevershove our face in it again.Maybe Sunday evening Mike Ditka will be able tomake a similar tirade on behalf of himself and hisconfreres in the Chicago coaching fraternity. Andafter all I’ve been through in my stay in Chicago, Iwon’t know whether to be gleeful or glum.The final word—Take the Patriots +10 %. —DACstories about themselves (titled “media hype”). Ifyou’re confused as to why this fat, balding man called“The Ax” is on, it is only because he’s better than “TheGreek.”Watch the game with friends so that every time theBears do something great, you can “high five” allaround the room. If anyone suggests doing “TheWave,” prevent them from speaking for the rest of theirlives. Have a good champagne and a bad champagne onhand. When the Bears win, drink the good one, and pourthe bad one on everyone. Don’t pour it on the exposedcircuit in the television.If you own a car, go outside and honk the horn. Youcan yell anything stupid such as “The Bears! Awe¬some! Ditka! The Bears!” or “Yo! Adrian!” AvoidReagan’s phone call, but watch Johnny Morris at 10:30for more videotape than you ever though possible.Hanna said that classes are cancelled Monday only ifevery U of C student attends the Michigan Avenueparade. Don’t disappoint her.If, in the worst case scenario, someone kidnaps thedefensive players and imposters end up in the blue andorange uniforms, and... (it is just to painful to con¬sider). then do the following: Save the good champagnefor the next big event which should be Jan. 1, 2000, andhurry down to help at the mental health services. Theirphones will be ringing off the hook.Daniel B.

A rat scurries by, and Celie starts cleaning. The nextthing we see is a fire crackling in a brick hearth, flanked on either side bygleaming brass kettles. We see results, but no work. The same is true of Celie’semotional growth. She evolves from a cringing, cowering, passive creature(who bears a suspicious resemblance to E.T.) into a refined and thoughtfulwoman — and a homespun couturiere at that. Though a lesbian relationship isthe catalyst of this change, it is dealt with in such an oblique manner that onecan simply ignore it, if one chooses. It is alluded to in a kissing scene betweenCelie and her lover, Shug, which fades out with a shot of a windchime, and instatements like, “Shug like honey, and now, It’s just like a bee, I follows hereverywhere.”Though I dislike this treatment of Celie and Shug’s relationship, I can see thereasoning behind it. During the scene, a man seated behind me grumbled inces¬santly, “Oh no,” he groaned as Shug kissed Celie on the mouth. All over thetheater, people giggled and shifted in their seats. The film’s PG-13 ratingwould have been jeopardized had the scene gone further, and Alice Walker’sstory of a black woman who pulls herself out of a cultural and emotional quag¬mire of passivity would have been told to a muon narrower audience — mostlikely composed of those who had already read the book.Public spirited intentions aside, this movie is a travesty. Spielberg, archmanipulator and special effects man, substitutes maniacal attention to detailfor articulation of emotion. Iirone scene, Ceiie’s father-in-law is sitting on thefront porch with .his son Albert (Danny Glover,, chastising him for allowingShug, also his lover, to stay in his home. Celie overhears this, and spits into thegiasi oj watec Sh% b£*eg».him. She watches.

Shug can’t bel»ev% ju$ftsj.oves sex with Mr., but theway Celi#describes It, It sounds like he’s goirfg to The bathroom onsfter.

One day, Shuggets to the mailbox before Mr. and finds a letter from Nettie. Shug and Celiethen discover hundreds of letters which Mr. has been hoarding over the years.Celie leaves Mr., Nettie returns from Africa the man who fathered Celie’s chil¬dren isn’t really her father, and Celie and Mr. become friends.If this sounds confusing, you should see the movie. Some characters age whileothers appear to grow younger. Celie sweeps up a spelling card that Nettiemade four years before. Mr. goes to the Department of Immigration, the epicfound track wells up, and we see Mr.s’ silhouette through frosted glass as hetalks (presumably) with a bureaucrat. Nettie comes home soon thereafter, andwe imagine that Mr. had something to do with his, although the image of him atthe Department of Immigration passes so quickly that we do not readily makethe connection.The only departure from the plot of the book which is serious concerns Shug.In the book, her parents raise her three illegitimate children. In the movie, herfather is a preacher who has disowned her. She’s a loose woman, and a lesbianto boot, because she has fallen from paternal grace, defining herself in rela¬tion to men, no matter how much she seems to be her own person. Had it notbeen for this, the movie would simply have been a lavender version of a purplenovel. As it is, I imagine Ms. Walker must be having some doubts about theintegrity of Spielberg’s interpretation of her womanist novel, though she mayrest asssured of its cemmarirai potentialThis scene appears in the press Wt* buttalking^^jlp^e .gfasstalking.

After people around me inthe theater began asking if that really was her sister, she changed back intothe original girl. The^e visirttf hi-jinks are purposeless, but they are what thisdirector knows how to 3d. -The novel traces Celie’s life from the age of fourteen to approximately agefifty.

After seeing Bra¬zil, I feel the same. It is an amazing,brilliant, biting critique of thebureacratic state. Set "sometime inthe 20th Century” an upper-middlelevel official tries to resolve ascrew-up in the police-state records.He encounters a woman, played byKim Greist, who resembles the oneof his fantasies; his attempts to getto know her resuit in the most ac¬tion-packed sequence of unrequitedlove that only a former member ofthe Monty Python group couldcreate. This “individual everymanagainst society" theme (it is a littlemore complicated than that) is re-_ plete with terrorist bombings, elitedecadence, state terror, work-a-daygoofing off, achingly real urban en¬vironments, and the quintessentialecologically devasta’ed landscape.Robert DeNiro puts in an appear¬ance as an aggressive free-lance ap¬pliance repairman who is forced touse threats in order to do a job. "Ijust want to fix things.” The fan¬tasy/nightmares of the protagonist, played by Jonathan Pryce, aresomewhat problematic. They lend asimplicity to the film that clarifies,but at the same time I imagine thestereotypic male-heroic perspectivewill irritate some. Yet the realwoman is so self-directed that herbehavior balances the passive-vic¬tim, erotic-object status of the fan¬tasy woman. This is a problematiccase of the replication/representa¬tion controversy. While hilarious,this movie contains a serious criticalattack on the dominant thinkingabout state/non-state acts of vio¬lence. Perhaps this is what motivat¬ed the president of Universal, SidShienberg, to refuse to release thefilm. Only when Gilliam took out afull page in Variety to ask, “Mr.Sheinberg, when are you going torelease my picture?”, did distribu¬tion begin, a year after completion.Receiving the Best Picture of theYear award from the Los AngelesFilm Critics Association has not hurt.Ostensibly the conflict was over theneed for a positive rather than neg¬ative ending, but the subtext inpress and media accounts seems tome to be about political expressionand an attempt to suppress it. Richdetails of content, both in imagesand reciprocal ideas give the piece“great art” status. I intend to see itagain.

Sufferingafter her brother’s suicide, Ruth (AngelaWinkler), a housewife who also contem¬plates suicide, is encouraged by her hus¬band Franz (Peter Striebeck) to becomefriends with Olga (Hanna Schygulla) a self-sufficient college professor. Yet as the twowomen draw close, Franz becomes posses¬sive and seeks to destroy the relationshiphe once sought to design, but Ruth seversher ties with him.What does von Trotta mean by all this?What is her perspective on communication,modern relationships, and mental illness?Of all the central characters, only Olga cancommunicate effectively. In Franz, for in¬stance, we see one who communicatesthrough manipulation; he leads people onand lives off women — a closet hysteric. InAlexej, Olga’s boyfriend, we see one whois afraid of his feelings towards othersand who suffocates in his seclusion. InDieter, Olga’s ex-husband, we see onewho can effectively direct only what is nothis, a stage director who buries himself inabstractions. In Ruth we see one who isafraid she cannot contribute anything tothe world and who, until Olga arrives,prefers isolation to friendship. But in Olgawe see one who communicates the fullrange of personal and professional con¬cerns and who warmly endorses others tojoin in.Indeed these characterizations point toa contradiction in modern society — thatis, if living well in modern society necessi¬tates higher education and if such educa¬tion stresses being communicative, whythen is communcation so difficult amongthe highly educated? Von Trotta does notsay; she seems content to merely raise theissue, but not flesh it out. Yet I think mod¬ ern society stresses the instrumental overthe personal form of communication andleaves their integration up to the individu¬al. Perhaps that is why those like Franzand Dieter fail in their personal relation¬ships, since they seek to conduct personalrelations in the same manner they havebeen taught to control impersonal rela¬tions.On modern relationships, von TrottaHanna Schygullasuggests that it is easier for a woman tobefriend a woman than for a man to be¬friend a woman. Modern women are moreapt to cut to the quick, more apt to pene¬trate to the core of another’s essence.Men, on the other hand, often play therole of “master of ceremonies,” who feel most comfortable when they can dictatethe social order of each occasion.Moreover, von Trotta suggests thatmodern relationships between men andwomen have remained utilitarian, whilerelationships between women have beenmore open-ended and durable. In this re¬gard though I think von Trotta overstatesher case. For instance, she contrasts Ruth’sestrangement with Olga’s self-assurance,but neglects to counterpoint Franz’s de¬pendency. Given Olga’s personification ofthe androgynous woman, what of theemergence of androgynous man? Howmight he fit into this picture?On mental illness, von Trotta demon¬strates just how difficult it is to regain anintegrated self after a break. At one pointRuth attempts to use a public phone, buteven this simple act is laden with distor¬tion. This uncovers one of the essentialproblems of mental illness — how the men¬tally ill are unable to cope with unpredic¬tability and how, if unresolved, this prob¬lem invites disaster.Ruth’s recovery is also hampered by thecontradictory messages that Franz sendsher — he wants her to be well, but only onhis terms. Franz, in fact, is less willing thanRuth to accept her potentialities. He evenchallenges Olga’s free-flowing affectiontowards her; “Certain people are unbal¬anced by too much affection from others.”Later, in a less sanguine mood, Franzwarns Ruth; “You’d be in a mental homebut for me.” We witness a classic double¬bind — if Ruth fails to recover, she thwartsher family; but is she recovers, shethrwarts her family. So the circle of isola¬tion and dependency goes.So in the circle of things, what is vonTrotta’s slant? I think she wants to showthe limitations that women experience inrelationships with men. Just how far canRuth recover from her illness when Franz interprets her progress in terms of how itwill affect him, or alter their relationship?If it were not for him, where would Ruthbe? Perhaps a successful artist, teacher,friend, wife. It is now we begin to see justhow precarious relationships betweenmen and women are when individualchange enters the picture. Looking atOlga’s effect on Ruth, I think that self-ac¬tualization evolves best through same-sexrelationships. In that way the confusion ofsex roles is recontextualized, so the circleis broken.In her technique, von Trotta displays agift for the poetic and the succinct. For in¬stance, when Olga comes home afterRuth’s suicide attempt, von Trotta showsOlga lying down with a slant of light cut¬ting across her, as if to note how difficult itis to know the whole person. In anotherscene von Trotta summarizes the dif¬ferences between Olga and Alexejthrough the use of light — light that is in¬tense near Olga but which leaves Alexejindistinguisable in the next room, as heplays the piano after a quarrel. In still an¬other scene children search the dark forRuth, but upon finding Olga instead, theirflashlights highlighting her face, they asksimply; “Have you found her?” Olga is fit¬tingly mute. And in the final episode vonTrotta blurs perception through a chiaro¬scuro effect, leaving it up to the viewer todecide whether or not a murder occurred.In any case, given Ruth’s deeper plungeinto mental illness, the “murder” is a mootpoint.I think Sheer Madness is the most signif¬icant film on mental illness since The Lace-maker (Claude Gorretta, 1977) almost adecade ago. Both render clear the oppres¬sion of women caught in double-binds. Yetof the two, only Sheer Madness substan¬tiates the alienation of the modern indi¬vidual.by Les BrownRobert Altman’s films are not entertain¬ing in the way a Spielberg is. Alt¬man s films do not allow the audience topassively watch a movie. Raiders of theLost Ark soothes and distracts with adven¬ture, romance and 1001 narrow escapes.Altman’s movies are not distractions, theyare confrontations. They are not soothing,but disrupting.Since the release (as well as critical andfinancial failure) of Popeye in 1982, Rob¬ert Altman seems to have abandoned thefree-wheeling, eight-people-talking-at-once, ‘improvisational’ style for which heis famous. Films such as M*A*S*H, Califor¬nia Split and Nashville can barely be con¬tained by the movie theater. Voices over¬lap, and images are intercut so quicklythat at times these films become unintelli¬gible, at least on first viewing. The storyin these movies is not so much a series ofevents, but a series of emotions tied toimages.Since 1982, Altman made several mov¬ies based on previously produced stage-plays. In Come Back to the Five and Dime,Jimmy Dean Altman limits himself to a sin¬gle interior set and a small cast, and thusmakes the movie into a filmed play. Thepacing is more deliberate, and actors veryseldom speak at once as if they are play¬ing to the back row. Streamers feels evenmore like a play. Whereas Nashville takespains to occupy the audience visually andaurally at every moment, Streamers is,both visually and aurally, an unclutteredfilm. The camera never leaves the bar¬racks room, and dialogue is punctuated bylong silences.Altman’s latest film is the adaptation ofSam Shepard’s play Fool For Love.(hough Altman has traded the single inte¬rior set for the wide-open spaces of theAmeridan West, Fool for Love retains thedeliberate, unadorned style of Altman’srp'-pnt film.Sam Shepard’s screenplay concernsthe relationship among a trio of very oldcharacters. May, played by Kim Basinger(of The Natural and Katie: Portrait of aCenterfold) works in the El Royale Motelo« the 'nterstate somewhere in the West.Sam Shepard himself plays Eddie, a cow-Doy, who has traveled 2,532 miles insearch of May. Harry Dean Stanton (ofReco Man and another film written bvSam Shepard; Paris, Texas) plays the OldMan living in a trailer behind the motel inthe middle of a iunk yard. Randv Quaid(From Shepard’s True West on TV and off-Broadway) plays May’s date, Martin, whostumbles into this triangle and is neversure if anybody is giving him the straightstory. As the movie opens, May watches a pick¬up truck with a trailer of horses drive upto the El Royale Motel. May is careful tostay out of sight. The man in the pick-up,Eddie, seems to recognize one of the cars“lying tits up” in the junk yard. He drivesback to the motel as May runs into herroom. She cleans her room, as if to pre¬pare for Eddie’s arrival, then hides in thebathroom as if she hopes he will disap¬pear. Eddie breaks open the door and sitson the bed. May leaves the bathroom,then begins to do the laundry.The slow opening creates a mysteriousatmosphere which surrounds the relation¬ship of Eddie and May, yet at the sametime, the lush photography gives the filma calm, pastoral feel which is at odds withtheir bizarre behavior. When Eddie stepsout of his pick-up he is silhouetted againstHarry Daan Stantonthe setting sun and framed by the darkclouds above him and the dark groundbelow. He becomes a mythic character: thesongs in the movie imply that Eddie is ahard-drinking, womanizing cowboy of theAmerican West. May seems drawn toEddie’s larger than life persona, but re¬pelled by what she sees as the real Eddie.After fighting for awhile, they stare ateach other then come together in a made-for-TV passionate embrace. May seems toreject this formulaic embrace and ends thekiss by kicking Eddie in the groin.Throughout much of the movie, the OldMan remains on the sidelines, watchingEddie and May fight and trying to steal adrink. At the end of one of the couple’sfights, the Old Man takes Eddie to thetrailer and shows him a picture framehanging on the side of his trailer. “In my mind, I am married to Barbara Mandrell,”says the Old Man and begins to laugh as ifhe has made a great joke. Eddie does notunderstand the joke and moves back tothe motel in search of May.A long, black Mercedes-Benz drives upto the motel. May at first thinks it is herdate, but out steps the Countess in a se-quined dress and black, spiked high-heels.Silhouetted against the headlights, shedraws a .357 Magnum and begins to fireinto the motel bar. She shoots out thewindshield of Eddie’s truck then drivesaway in a cloud of dust. She, like May, isobsessed with Eddie, but if May is Eddie’shuman lover, the Countess is his jealousgoddess.Enter Martin, May’s good-hearted datewho wants nothing more than to take Mayto the movies. “Tell him I’m your brother,”says Eddie. “Tell him I’m your cousin.”When he sees Eddie and May through thewindow fighting, Martin bursts throughthe door to save May from being raped.Martin meets ‘cousin Eddie.’ While May isfreshening up in the bathroom, Eddietakes Martin to the bar and tells him thestory of how he and May met.Altman gives the film an hallucinatoryatmosphere by his use of flashback. Thelittle girl at the motel becomes part of theOld Man’s story. She leaves the motel withher parents, and as they drive away, theOld Man narrates to May what happenedmany years before. Yet the story the OldMan tells is at odds with the story thescreen tells. The little girl (a much youngerMay) is not asleep in the back seat of thecar, but is watching as her mother and theOld Man (May’s father) have sex in thefront. Similarly, in a later flash-back de¬scribed by Eddie, the Old Man does notoffer the young Eddie the first drink out ofthe bottle, as Eddie says he does.Throughout the movie, the perspectivechanges. In the beginning, the audiencecan identify with the Old Man. We, the au¬dience, passively watch Eddie and May,not sure what is happening. When the OldMan says he is married to Barbara Man¬drell, he enters the action. The audiencenow sees the movie from Eddie’s perspec¬tive; why did this old man make such anodd comment? The little girl watches Eddieand May fight, but she too enters the ac¬tion. She becomes the young May in thestory the Old Man tells to May. Finally,we, like Marlin, listen to the stories toldabout May and Eddie’s incestuous rela¬tionship and the stories told about theirfather, the Old Man. When the Countessreturns and blows up Eddie’s truck, we,like Martin, watch the Marlboro man rideon horseback after his Countess. Wewonder what has happened and whom to believe.Images in the film begin to contradicteach other. Eddie wants to be the Marl¬boro Man (“If you ain't a cowboy, youain’t shit,” he says) yet does not under¬stand that he makes May hate him. TheOld Man wants to believe that nothing haschanged, and that his love was so big itsplit in two, one part for each wife. Yetwhen he realizes he has driven Eddie'smother to suicide, he too kills himself. Thedanger that Eddie and the Old Man face isthat they will no longer see themselves ascharacters powerless in the face of suchoverwhelming and obsessing passion, butthat they will view themselves as menruining the lives of those they love. Maychooses to follow the path her own motherhas taken. Unlike Eddie’s mother, May’smother does not kill herself. May choosesto believe the myth, thus dooming herselfto repeat her mother’s life and follow areal son of a bitch to the ends of theearth.In Fool for Love, Altman has skillfullyused the intercutting of odd, seemingly in¬congruous images, yet has retained thesimple production of his recent films.Though Altman uses a wide variety ofcamera shots which make full use of thespace surrounding the motel (including he¬licopter and long, tracking shots), the filmis very much tied to a single place. Thoughthe walls of a room have given way tomiles of empty, rolling hills, this emptinesssurrounding the El Royale Motel isolatesthese characters as much of a single, inte¬rior set does.Fool for Love seems like a filmed playbecause of the manner in which Altman ex¬cludes what is extraneous to the story ofMay and Eddie and the Old Man. In Nash¬ville the central storyline of the assassina¬tion attempt is nearly pushed aside bysub-plots and sub-sub-plots. Altmanmakes Nashville seem all-inclusive by thebarrage of sights and sound and the com¬plex interweaving of the different plots.In Fool for Love the characters are isolat¬ed and the explanation of their relation¬ship is offered slowly, one clue at a time.The film does not hide its limits, as Nash¬ville does by giving us more than we canassimilate, but offers little bits of infor¬mation forcing the audience to reconstructthe plot. In this way the audience is tempt¬ed not to believe in the story, but to con¬tinually question its authenticity. Thisquestion of what to believe is central tothe movie. Is Sam Shepard the MarlboroMan or is he just a two-timing low-life? Isthe Countess really a countes or just acrazy lady with a gun? The story of themovie is this collision of irreconcilableimages.4—FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1986—GREY CITY JOURNALCome to the 26th Annual U of CFOLK FESTIVALFriday-Sunday, January 24*26Free Workshops, Film, Donee, InformalJamming, and lots of Music!Dluegross, Blues, Old-Time, Cajun,Cambodian, African, Irish, Gospel,Greek...withthe Blue Ridge Mountain Bond, ChuckSuchy, Pinetop Perkins, Fuday MusaSuso, the Cambodian Folk Theatre ofChicago, Margaret MacArthur, theDewey Balta Cajun Band, the BarrettSisters, and more!And you don't hove to miss the Superbowl!There will be Full Television Coverage in Ido NoyesFor More Information: Coll 962-9790Speciol thanks to the SAO for Superbowl coverageGREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1986—5Photos by Phil Pollard6—FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1986—GREY CITY JOURNALAn Open Letter to the Men at the U of C:There are a few things in life that menwill never experience. Pregnancy is one.Abortion is another. The former is a per¬fectly natural experience that no womanshould be afraid of. Unfortunately, for un¬married young women, the former is toooften connected to the latter. Too manywomen find themselves in the positionwhere they see abortion as the only op¬tion, especially if they are well-educatedand aspire to a good career. These womenfeel they must have an abortion if theyhope for an uncomplicated future.As you can tell, I am not talking aboutthe poor, unfortunate teenage girls wholose their virginity at the age of fourteenor fifteen without even knowing what vir¬ginity is. No, I am not talking about thegirls who drop out of high school to becomemothers before their own childhood isover. Those girls see no future for them¬selves because they are perhaps not oldenough or educated enough to dream ofsomething better for themselves. Or per¬haps they just too readily give up thosedreams.Instead, I am talking about those girlsyou all know—the ones in your physicsclass, your honors calculus class, your ma¬croeconomics class, your humanitiesclass—who think a lot about their careersand what sort of life they want for them¬selves. I am talking about girls with a lotof ambition for whom pregnancy and achild means the end of their world. If theyare not ready to get married, they are cer¬tainly not ready to be pregnant. But some¬times they get pregnant anyway. Andthat frightens them. .These young women—they’re not“girls” anymore—don’t get pregnant bythemselves. You've heard that before. Nodoubt you've been lectured about sex edu¬cation since you were twelve or thirteen.But do you really think about what isgoing on when you have sex with thatyoung woman? Have you asked herwhether she’s using birth control? Do youknow for sure, or has she just told youshe’s on the pill or “not to worry”? Do youever take the responsibility to use birthcontrol yourself? Do you know what themost effective method of birth control is?Have you ever discussed it with someonewho knows the answers? Have you dis¬cussed it with her? Or have you just as¬sumed that it’s her responsibility sinceshe, after all, is the one who could getpregnant?But it’s your responsibility, too. You’rethe one who could get her pregnant and,consequently, change her entire life.That’s a big responsibility, not one youshould shirk whether she’s your girlfriendor just someone you know casually. Let'ssay the worst happens. Even while usingbirth control, the worst can happen. Afterworrying about her period being late fordays or weeks, she finally gets thecourage to have a pregnancy test. Doesshe tell you before she goes? Does she tellyou afterwards? Is she afraid that if 'shetells you, you’ll abandon her? Will you? Orwill you comfort her and support her? Ifyou’re afraid, just think how she mustfeel.If she decides to have an abortion, doyou feel comfortable asking her how shefeels about this? Are you able to reassureher when she wakes up crying in thenight? She will cry. And sometimes it willseem to be for no reason at all. Except thatshe’s scared. She has to make what shethinks is the “best” decision, but it is notone that she is happy about making. It issomething she has to do, not somethingshe wants to do. And if you’re not therefor her—hard as it may be for you—shewill draw away from you, from herfriends, and into herself. She will feelmore frightened and lonely than she everhas In her life, if you let her withdraw, youwill lose her. She will never be able totrust you again, even if she loves you. Ifyou love her and think that you would like to marry her someday, you may or maynot have that chance depending on howyou treat her now. Once the trust is gone,it can never be completely regained.If you are there to support her, a lot ofher fear can be allayed. But you must gowith her to the clinic or the hospital, talkto the counselors, and then sit and waitwith all the other scared boyfriends andhusbands and friends, the ones who caredenough to stay. If you leave now, becauseyou have to go back to work or to school,you’ve abandoned her. It means thatwhen it is all over she does not immediate¬ly have your face to look into or your armsto hold her. Instead, she must look at allthose other men, talk to the nurses, andcall you (or another friend) to come pickher up. They don’t let women drive them¬selves home. They’re not quite ready todeal with the outside world yet.If you get someone pregnant who youdon’t really care about, you still must dowhatever you can to help her. You mustoffer to go with her, to wait for her, totake her home. She may not accept youroffer, but it will make a lot of difference toher that you asked, that you showed youdid care enough to take responsibility foryour actions. It will also make her a lotless suspicious of men in the future be¬cause any woman who gets pregnant andhas an abortion will probably think verycarefully about having sex with someoneagain. She may not think it’s worth it sincethe risks are too great. She may have ahard time trusting anyone, or herself,again. Or she may feel too much guilt.The abortion itself is an experience youcannot imagine. It is an experience thatmost women do not want to imagine. Ifmore than three months have passed or ifcomplications are foreseen, the woman isgiven a general anesthetic and the opera¬tion is performed while she is asleep. Ifshe has gone to a good clinic, the doctorand the nurses do their best to reassurethe patient. Afterwards, she is told to restand when the anesthetic has worn offsomeone can take her home. This sort ofabortion is probably the least traumaticbecause she is unaware of anything thathas physically happened to her. Still, emo¬tionally, she knows something has. This isnot an operation just like any other.The most common abortion, though, isthe one which takes place in the first threemonths. They only take about fifteen min¬utes to perform, so most clinics will have awhole room of women waiting their turnwith the doctor. It makes you wonder howmany operations the doctor performs inone day and at what time he hopes to beready to go play a round of golf. Nowoman can prepare for this experienceand no woman can forget it. For one thing,she is awake the entire time. She is onlygiven a local anesthetic. It is similar to agynecological exam, but this time .it’s dif¬ferent. This time the hard, cold metal goesin and pulls something out. Or it is “va¬cuumed” out. The cramping usually startsimmediately. She can close her eyes, but itis over so quickly that the nurse tells hershe must get up and leave the room so thatanother woman can come in. If she is un¬lucky her gaze catches on the large bottle.It’s something she’ll never be able to for¬get, no matter how hard she tries.So, all I’m asking is that you think. Thinknow—before it’s too late. Whether or notto have an abortion is a decision that nowoman ever wants to face, but too manydo, every day. So, think now. An abortionis something a woman can never forget,even if you can. I can’t. But if I had to do itall over again, I would. Otherwise, Iwouldn’t be here today. I’d either be anunmarried mother or married to someone Ididn’t love. Fortunately, I was able tomake the decision to do what was best forme at the time both legally and privately.It’s a woman’s decision, not a man’s. Afteralt, pregnancy is one thing in life that aman will never experience.—Name Withheld by Michele Marie BonnarensAn improvisational piece, posed as analternative to current theatre, is attempt¬ing to take root in Chicago’s OrganicTheatre Company’s Greenhouse. Lock UpThe Grass employs “scenario improvisa¬tional method”, a technique in which thebasic story outline is transformed into the“script” through the improvisation of theperformers. However, the play does have“authors” Pamela Meyer and Deb Lacustawho provide the “beats” around which theaction moves. The play, intending to por¬tray women gaining control, depicts aworld of bet.ayal wherein control is near¬ly impossible. Throughout the play each ofthe characters betrays or “rapes” theheroine (Janet), whose response is littlemore than passive reaction. One cannot besure whether it is the “authors” or the per¬former who casts the heroine in this defen¬sive role from which she cannot exert herown will. Hence, the audience cannot con¬trol who it is responding to. The situationbecomes problematic when one of the malecharacters describes a rape in a pool hallas if he were a comedian telling a funnystory. As he enters into the graphic de¬scription of the rape, so too does the audi¬ence. And, as he verbally rapes, the audi¬ence becomes an accomplice, a rapist.Unwilling to stop or interrupt the scene,the audience, already betrayed, becomsthe betrayer.Though the improvisational method com¬petes with and sometimes impedes theclarity of the plays message, it occasional¬ly works. Abrupt transitions from realityto fantasy characterize the technique.Fears, like rape and manipulation, thathaunt women in the “real world”, slipwithout transitions into myth (Little RedRiding Hood) and women’s “mythic” histo¬ry (witch burning). In the mythic realmwhere time and space do not function, thefears of the unconscious slide to the fore,illuminating the fears of the conscious. Thestory of a young girl moving to the big cityis made more provocative as it is trans¬formed into the story of a girl entering thewoods of experience and the story ofwomen burned as witches for entering themasculine world of magic and religion.The performers met the demands of thepiece well, and in some cases excelled. Thecharacters played by Deb Lacusta wereparticularly memorable. Through the“zoned-out” poet hiding her work in shoe boxes, the stooping executive assistantsmoking three cigarettes simultaneously,and Janet’s mother describing her daugh¬ter’s nose squashed against a stationwagon window, the audience is shownthree different worlds. The implication ofLacusta’s roles is that no matter what roadis taken, we are lost; but her performancein fact guides us through the piece.If what the play is saying is not alwaysloud and clear (whether because too manyauthors are saying too many differentthings, or because a play which attemptsto dramatize the unconscious taps into itsambiguity) it is clear that the play is say¬ing something about saying somethingloudly. All the characters, even Janet asshe becomes more fearful, scream to beheard. Janet’s roommates, neighbors,parents, and co-workers scream until herown fears scream louder than they do. Thesilence of writing is the epiphany of theplay — a deus ex machina sign “droppedfrom the sky” asking “What do youwant?” Though an unlikely solution towomen's fears, this sign is apparently theplays's answer to Janet’s. It was estab¬lished earlier that what Janet wants is tobe an artist. Thus, having read the sign,Janet picks up a paintbrush and begins todance with it. What seems to be suggestedhere is that the solution for the womanwho is afraid is to do what she wants, orperhaps more particularly to do what shewants if she wants to be an artist, or evenmore particularly a visual artist. Evenwithin the context of the play such a solu¬tion presents difficulties. Choosing what itis you want to do involves priorities. Janetchose to want to be in advertising becauseshe didn’t want to be poor. If she does be¬come an artist she may have less moneyand living in the city may be even morefrightening for her. Morever, the visualartist in the play, Janet's roommate, ishardly a character to be emulated. She isthoughtless, overworked, and jaded byher “artsy” life style. Clearly these impli¬cations have not been belabored by the“authors” of the play. Perhaps this is notwhat the play is about, but as a result theplay does not deal with women “overcom¬ing” fears so much as women having fears.By the end of the play, the struggle to dis¬cover what one wants does not mean allthat much since the circumstances provideonly for forced choosing. False alterna¬tives, in the alternative theatre.Sarah Bradley and Cindy Circo In lock up mo ureasnmnrnAMT rAflNfSlby Justyna FrankIf you've ever been to the third floortheatre at the Reynolds Club, you mighthave noticed its curious resemblance to atunnel: it is deep, narrow, dusty and dark.These days, however, there is a little lightat the end of the tunnel. The set of The Im¬portance of Being Earnest stands out bold¬ly against the black velvet of the curtains.It is so crisp, sharp and colorful that it ap¬pears almost out of place.In the not-so-distant past, students havebeen discouraged from producing certain— generally well-known and well-loved —plays on the grounds that those playswere too ambitious. Consequently, we, theaudience, were frequently invited to seeplays we’ve never heard of before. Re¬cently, a trend has started for students tobreak those barriers and experiment withthe masters. And some of the results havebeen truly astonishing.The truly astonishing aspect of TheOther Theatre Group's The Importance ofBeing Earnest is the cast of character.Were it not for the actors' enthusiasm and energy, the play might have flopped. Inthis play that wants to come on so strong,the directing hand has been all too tenta¬tive. The blocking of the play is one-dimen¬sional. It seems to have been directedmore by necessity than true creativity.The actors travel between the door andthe furniture, and stop center stage to ex¬change lines. They have been directed tospeak to the audience rather than to eachother. Little bodily interaction goes on be¬tween them, except when there is actualphysical contact.The actors, however, know no bounds.Like the set, they are in contrast with thedim surroundings. Their presence is freshand strong; they are not afraid of bigness.They play their larger-than-life roles withappropriate exuberance and wit. The firstact has a slow beginning, but the actionpicks up with the entrance of Lady Brack¬nell and Gwendolen (Jeanne Gravois andKaren Friche) and continues to rise all the way to the end.Karen has complete mastery of hervoice and diction as the calmly controlledsociety girl, Gwendolen, whose lively dis¬position is revealed in the expression ofher eyes. Tammy Ravitts, as the unres¬trained, innocent country girt Cecily, is allexpression. Her face, her body, her gait,even her tousled hair contain a tremen¬dous amount of energy — she is vibrant.Consequently, the scenes between Gwen¬dolen and Cecily are the most powerful inthis production.Matthew Denckla, as Algernon, adds agenerous dash of style to the show.Though his movements are reserved andnonchalant, his face (when it is not busyeating) is animated and lively. His elegantlook is topped off with and unruly mass ofcurls, which help establish him as a moody,individualistic young man. He is at his bestwhen reflecting alone or mimicking othersbehind their backs. The striking presence of the prim MissPrism (Ellen Nerenberg) is also no¬teworthy. Her sharp accent, sharp nose,pursed lips and pointed boots make herseem more like an impish witch than a gov¬erness.Initially, the actors behave as separateentities, acting independently; but thescenes pull together, and somewhere inthe second act the play gains unity. Thefinal scene becomes the sum total of alltheir efforts; it is the true climax of theshow.If you have wondered about the ob¬scurity of the student productions, youshould go and see the widely-read Ear¬nest. If you have been bored or disap¬pointed by some student productions, youshould go and see the entertaining andsatisfying Earnest. If you are a theatrebuff, you undoubtedly know that youshould go and see the ever-enjoyabie Ear¬nest.The Importance of Being Earnest is play¬ing tonight at 8pm and Saturday at 2pmand 8pm.

He rises andpaces, hands on hips. “There is the giftedmusician.” Pause, pace. “There is the mu¬sician who plays music.” The grin resur¬faces. “And there is the musician whosemusic plays him!”Pleased, Foday Musa Suso, a master ofthe African kora, sits down again. Hiscryptic adage sparks questions he antici¬pates.“The first type, the gifted musician, isborn with talent,” he continues. “The sec¬ond type, the one who plays music, takesdays to learn what that gifted musiciancan learn in hours. And the third type maytake years, thinking only ‘I want to be amusician’, yet he never masters his music.It is this musician whose music plays him!”He laughs. “I know all three types.”We both know Musa Suso is of the firsttype. He trims his self-assurance with mod¬esty as he tells of the music of his father,and his father’s father, “generations andgenerations” of Mandingo griots of asmall village in Gambia, West Africa.Musa, who now lives in Hyde Park, wasthe first to leave home. “The UnitedStates has the greatest music industry inthe world.” He assures me that “here (inthe United States) you cannot be known byeveryone around the world unless youmake records...! am known by every¬one.”The performers at the twenty-sixth An¬nual University of Chicago Folk Festivalare folk musicians as Musa Suso is and,like him, many of these artists have re¬corded and promoted their song and storyaround the world. Other musicians, such asthe Hellenic Five’s bandleader GeorgePanapoulos “don’t believe in that”: a re¬cord can capture your soul like a Polaroidcan, sell your song and it’s gone. Themembers of this year’s University of Chi¬cago Folklore Society have used gramo- .phone and grapevine both to select fifteenof the most exciting traditional music actsin the country for this twenty-sixth Festi¬val.The Hellenic Five is composed ot yes,five Greek-American musicians who met inChicago several years ag& .George and kisbrother Pete, the group’s guiarist, grdwup in the small Greek village of Kalavre-ta.

He is anative Gaelic speaker and the most widelyacclaimed sean nos singer in the U.S. Irishmusic will also be represented by flautistJoanie Madden, piper Jerry Sullivan (bothof New York), and Chicago’s Liz Carroll onfiddle. Among them, these artists haveseveral all-Ireland individual champions George and Ethel McCoyto their credit.Margaret MacArthur is known for herrevival of the harp-zither. Her own 22-inchharp zither with its eleven melody stringsand three sets of chord strings is oftencalled the “MacArthur harp”, being adirect copy of a unique old instrument.Margaret weaves her warm, clear voicewith its music as she plays songs of Ver¬mont, where she now lives, and her nativeOzark mountains. ,,Chuck Suchy is a native of North Dakota,where he has a family and farm.

Bandmembers Rebecca Haga (guitar andvocals), Paul Hurlin (fiddle), Greg Hooven(banjo and fiddle) and Tom Barr (bass) fea¬ture old-time hoedowns and dance tunes ofthe area as well as sweet southern sing¬ing, including many Carter Family andBlue Sky Boys tunes.Bill Harrell and the Virginians (DarrellSanders, Ed Ferris, Carl Nelson and PaulAdkins) have been together for several years. Their southeastern bluegrass musicis tremendously popular across thecountry. Bill sings some tunes from his ear¬lier years with the late Don Reno, andBill’s now gaining recognition for the sen¬sitivity and depth of his songwriting.The Folklore Society searched for andfound two outstanding representatives ofthe rural blues styles of the 20’s and 30’s.George and Ethel McCoy coordinate theirintricate open-tuned guitar playing withtheir dark, brooding vocals to expose theheart of traditional blues.

Togetherthese three performers, who have playedtogether in the Legendary Blues Band andthe Muddy Waters Blues Band,, presentthe essence of the tight* rhythmic bluesthat has come to be called the Chicagostyle of blues.Dewey Balfa, from Baslle, Louisiana, is returning to the Festival on a wave of“ragin’ ” Cajun popularity. Dewey wasamong the first to turn northern audi¬ences—including those here at the 1966Festival—on to traditional Cajun music.Dewey has toured the United States,France and Canada and held a NationalHeritage Fellowship. Currently, he’s no¬minated for a Grammy. He’ll be accompan¬ied by his nephew Tony Balfa on guitarand Robert Jardell on accordian; both ofthese young men who’ll carry on Dewey’sCajun tradition.Lyman Enloe’s 79-year-old fingers stillshow the ageless talent of a great countryfiddler. Lyman learned his music from hisfamily and friends near Jefferson City,Missouri. He began his successful careerwith a weekly radio show on WOS. Lastyear in Nashville Lyman emerged fromnearly five years of silence to floor audi¬ences there with his fiddling and win the1985 SPGMA award. Lyman has a repe-toire of beautiful, seldom heard old tunesthat he’ll bring to the Festival this year.Rusty Dutton will provide back-up both onguitar and fiddle.The Barrett Sisters—Billie, Delois andRodessa—are Chicago’s own, but are nowin demand the world over. These womensing black gospel music with the fire thisgenre demands. This is clear to audienceswho’ve seen them, if not live, in the fea¬ture documentary Say Amen, Some¬body!". The sisters’ most recent appear¬ance was at downtown Chicago for KingDay—the Sun-Times featured a breathtak¬ing photograph of them this January20th.The Festival welcomes back Ted Boganand Howard Armstrong. These two oldfriends headed north together in the1920’s. They found Chicago to be hospita¬ble to a guitarist and a fiddle/mandolinplayer who could sing the popular oldsongs that any ethnic juke joint would de¬mand. With their late partner Carl Martin,Bogan and Armstrong have been a favor¬ite at many past Festivals.The Cambodian Folk Theatre of Chicagois an ensemble of about twenty energeticyaqd enthusiastic young performers. Su-mornsf^H, who began groups like this in arefugee .camp, leads these youijg peqple ipa brilliantly cplorful and elaborate dis¬play folk daqce and drama. This folktheater Includes accompanying string andpercussion traditional instruments., George Armstrong and the Festival areinseparable. George w§ls one of the Chica¬goans who‘cohbeived the first Folk Festi¬val in 1961. Since then, he has openedevery show with a solemn walk down theaisle and up onto the stage of Mandel Hall,to the strong, rich song of his Scottish bag¬pipes.All these artists may not be “known by .everyone”,, but folks who attend the Uni¬versity of Chicago Folk festival this week¬end will know the peaceful challenge thata heartfelt performance^. age-old music vcan bring. cv -i‘si: ' %'•* ’ •12:00-1:15 Music of Old Virginia, withBUI Harrell & the Virginians and The8lue Ridge Mountain Band.
