Sherill Sellers, astudent employment coordinator,also notes, “Student interest innon-Work/Study employment hasincreased dramatically.” The of¬fice estimates that a total of 80%of all students in the college workduring the school year.A recent Chronicle of HigherEducation article reported a USDepartment of Labor studywhich showed a significant rise incollege student employmentsince 1980. From 1980 to li>85, thepercentage of students workinghas increased from approximate¬ly 45% to 49% of the total collegestudent population.There are two reasons for theincrease in the number of job-holding Work/Study students.First, according to ChristineFreidel, the Work/Study Coordin¬ator in Career and PlacementServices, students need to fi¬nance their education and gainwork experience. Second, “stu¬dents have the opportunity tomeet adminstrators and can gaininvaluable employment experi-Faculty andBy Geoff SherryCollege News EditorUniversity faculty have ex¬pressed mixed reactions to therecommendations put forth byThe Committee on the Size andComposition of the University ofChicago.The committee, chaired by po¬litical science professor J. DavidGreenstone, released its reportlast week and issued a call formore junior faculty and a gradu¬al increase in the enrollment ofthe college.The primary area of contro¬versy between faculty membersseems to involve the ramifica¬tions of a qualified increase in thesize of the college to 3400 stu¬dents. The report looks to up theenrollment from its present levelof 2900 students without an in¬crease in the number of faculty.“But we shall argue that thischange is defensible only if thereis a decision not to offset it by anincrease, planned or otherwise,in the size of the faculty.”Herman Sinaiko, dean of stu¬dents in the College, finds this tobe the main area of concern.“The trickiest condition of the en¬tire report is that an increase inthe College should not be accom¬panied by an increase in the fac¬ulty,” said Sinaiko, “If doneright, it seems reasonable.”The report suggests that in¬creased utilization uf graduatestudents in the common core, ence,” comments Alicia Reyes,Associate Director of Aid.Sellers cited the increased fi¬nancial needs of college studentsas the principal reason for therise in non-Work/Study employ¬ment. To make students aware ofthose opportunities, the Office ofCareer Placement Services hasincreased the amount of informa¬tion given to students directlythrough mail folders and has en¬couraged advisors and residentheads to advertise the pro¬grams.The U of C’s high percentageofjob-holding students, 80% com¬pared to 49% nationwide, may bepartly attributed to the high costof attending the College. Not onlydo U of C students work morethan the average student but alsothey manage to pay ritore of theirtuition costs. A College student atChicago pays about 11% of thetotal cost of school throughwork/study, while the typical stu¬dent at a private institution pays7% of his bill.U of C students also work fewerhours per week than most otherstudents. The U of C does notallow to work more than 15 hoursper week. The Department ofLabor report found that only 31%of all students work less than 15hours per week. These gtudentsearn between $3.60 and $3.80 perhour. While U of C studentsaverage about 12 hours of workevery week, according to Careerand Placement Services, theyearn an average of $5.30 per hourbecause of the union scale used.along with increased participa¬tion by faculty in The College arenecessary in order to maintainthe quality of education at the un¬dergraduate level.Bertram Cohler, professor ofSocial Science in the College,finds this particular area espe¬cially disturbing. “I don’t thinkwe can handle any more studentswithout a significant increase inresources,” noted Cohler. He ex¬plained that although he sees noconflict between scholarly re¬search and teaching in The Col¬lege, faculty should not be forcedinto the undergraduate level. Headded, “We neglect college in¬structors. I’d rather see collegeinstructors rewarded for their de¬votion with our limited resourcesthan to spend our time looking Washington, DC (CPS) — Stu¬dent akTprograms will shrink byabout 4.3 percent as of March 1.according to figures released Lythe Office of Management andBudget last week.The cuts are the first mandatedby the new Gramm-Rudman for¬mula to balance the federal bud¬get.And while educators say black,Hispanic and middle-income stu¬dents will bear the brunt of thenew cuts, they now think theGramm-Rudman law — namedfor co-sponsoring senators PhilipGramm (R-Tex.) and WarrenRudman (R-NH) — will have asional appointment.”The use of graduate students asT.A’s also presents a serious af¬front to the “family”-like atmo¬sphere which the College pridesitself on.Sinaiko noted, “The question ishow to provide help to instructorswith graduate students withoutlosing the appeal of the Col¬lege.”Cohler echoed his sentiments,saying, “I’m not against T.A’sand graduate students teachingsome courses, many students inSocial Thought are excellent in¬structors, however I am againstusing bribes at the expense of thequality of undergraduate educa¬tion.” The bribes he speaks of in¬volve the assumption that in¬creased instruction on the part ofgraduate students will help to at¬tract more qualified graduatestudents into the divisional pro¬grams of the University; anothergoal of the report.Loma Strauss, associate pro¬fessor of anatomy, suggests thata guided program of graduatestudent T.As would be beneficial.“In the past, graduate studentshave not had the opportunity togain classroom experience. Aslong as we assure the mainte¬nance of the college experience, Ithink it is a good thing, ” conclud¬ed Strauss.Although the necessary condi¬tions surrounding an increase inthe size of the College are ambig¬uous, one certain condition must severe impact on students whenthe next round of cuts it requirestake effect in October.In the following years, reduc¬tions may have to be four to fivetimes as large as this year’s inorder to balance the budget by1991.Even now. educators think cur¬rent cuts will hurt certain classesof students while convincingsome banks to give up makingGuaranteed Student Loans(GSL’s).“This will certainly acceleratethe trend of declining black andHispanic participation in postse¬condary education,” contendsLorna Strausbe an adequate pool of appli¬cants. The University of Chicago,gradually gaining popular statusacross the country for The Col¬lege, is in the midst of an intensecampaign to battle its “best keptsecret” image. Sinaiko points tothe success of this campaign as apre-cursor to any expansion ofcollege enrollment.“We need to be more known tothe general public,” charged Sin¬aiko, “We will not junk our stan¬dards, as did Brown, in order toattract more students. We hopesthat the quality education weoffer here will speak for itself.”Dan Hall, director of CollegeAdmissions, stresses the “gradu¬al” aspect of any such increase.“The projected figure of 3400 is Arnold Mitchem, director of theNational Council of EducationalOpportunity Associations.As much as 80 to 90 percent ofthe students in black colleges re¬ceive some federal aid. Mitchemsays.“It’s another straw on thecamel’s back, but now- manystraws can the camel take?”wonders Winston Brown, dean offinancial aid at Xavier Universi¬ty, a primarily black school inNew Orleans.“We have seen a significantdrop in minorities applying,”continued on page threepossible over a period of time, nottomorrow” noted Hall.The committee’s report recog¬nizes the problems associatedwith such an enrollment in¬crease, one being the overall ca¬pacity of the physical plant itself.Dormitory space presents a par¬ticularly sticky area, as the re¬port suggests shifting “gradu¬ate” rooms into space forundergraduates. “We believethat the College could accommo¬date up to 250 more students inexisting residence halls, primari¬ly by converting rooms now occu¬pied by graduate students to un¬dergraduate use, and relocatinggraduate students into Universi¬ty-owned apartments.”Edward Turkington, associatedean of students in the Universi¬ty, foresees possible controversyover this shifting of dormitoryspace. The two dormitories in¬volved would be Broadview andMatthew House in Burton-Jud-son. Matthews is used by the Law-School as its exclusive dormitory.“The law school feels very stron¬gly about Matthews House. Thereare clearly competing needs anddesires,” added Turkington.Richard Badger, Dean of Stu¬dents in the Law School, opposesany transition involving Matth¬ews House. “We think it is a prob¬lem. Most major law schoolshave dormitories and we havelong maintained that wc shouldhave a residence hall close to thelaw school.”administrators react to Greenstone Committee reportYou've GotA ProblemEvery U. of C. student does: Food.

MS usually strikes adults in theirtwenties and thirties. The disease is charac¬terized by the breakdown of the central ner¬vous system’s myelin and of the myelin-producing cells. The myelin, which wrapsaround the nerve cells, makes the electricalconductivity efficient.The disease has a myriad of symptomsdepending upon which tissues are stricken.If the disease damages myelin surroundingnerves having to do with movement, motorcontrol is impaired; if they have to do withvision, sight is affected; if they have to dowith coordination, balance may be problem¬atic.If we understand the meaning of the name MS, we can help to distinguish it from mu¬scular dystrophy. ‘Multiple’ explains that anumber of patches or legions of the brainand spinal cord may be affected and also ex¬plains the episodic nature of the disease,which may be charcterized by acute flare-ups occurring over a period of hours or daysand by lengthly periods of remission. The‘sclerosis’, or scar tissue, is what replacesthe destroyed myelin.Calling the University of Chicago “one ofthe hotbeds of MS research,” Antel went onto discuss some of the new leads in diagnos¬ing and treating the disease. Magnetic Res¬onance Imaging (MRI) provides a sensitivemeans of detecting the lesions present dur¬ing a flare-up. Unlike previous X-ray tech¬niques, this non-intrusive test “can be usedevery day for a week or so” during a flare-up, Antel pointed out.A second diagnostic aid is the high con¬centration of antibodies that circulate in thespinal fluid. The variety of symptoms andtheir episode nature make the disease diffi¬cult to diagnose.During an MS episode, the immune sys¬tem is extremely active. The researchersquestion whether the abundance of immunesystem’s cells have arrived to fight infec-Gov't. continued from page onePrinceton financial aid officer Linda Ensorreports.Ensor speculates, however, the middle-in¬come students ultimately will suffer themost.“If there are fewer and fewer dollars, thepressure will be greater to be more carefulin needs analysis,” adds Tom Wolanin, anaide to Rep. Bill Ford (D-Mi.).Moreover, limited funds will force PellGrants into a “statutory reduction” inwhich students with less need will getsmaller amounts of aid.But lower-income students may have aharder time getting Guaranteed" StudentLoans as Gramm-Rudman’s cuts continue,says Bill Clohan, a lobbyist for the Con¬sumer Bankers Association.Gramm-Rudman will cut the “allow¬ance” that banks get w hen they make GSLsfrom 3.5 percent interest to 3.1 percent.The initial allowance cut, which appliesonly to the first year of a loan, “will have a minimal impact,” Clohan says. But cuttingthe allowance further, as some legislatorswant, will provoke banks to make sure stu¬dents are good credit risks on their own.In banks’ view, of course, students frommiddle- and upper-income families are bet¬ter credit risks than students from low-in-come backgrounds.“Making (loans) more restrictive willmake loans available only to the white mid¬dle class,” he adds.When the allowance on loans to studentswas cut back in 1973, “the programcrashed” because bankers refused to con¬tinue lending due to the squeeze on theirprofit margin, Clohan remembers.As for the next few years, “it’s a very ten¬uous program,” he adds.The cuts would hurt all the more becausePell Grants, bnable to keep up with infla¬tion, forced low-income students in recentyears to borrow more under the GSL pro¬gram, observers say.5850 S.

According to Loevy, all students haveaccess to the tutors, but priority is given tothe students who do not live in the four largeresidence halls (Burton-Judson, WoodwardCourt, Pierce, and the Shoreland), which al¬ready have their own tutors.Opened on Sunday, January 12th in thelounge adjacent to Weiss coffeeshop, thecenter is open on an experimental basisthroughout the rest of the year. The tutors will instruct in four areas: writing, econom¬ics, physics, and chemistry. A tutor sched¬ule is posted outside the door of the center.The instructors are the former Regen-stein tutors. According to Loevy, locatingthe new Tutor Center in Harper serves adual purpose. It leaves the study roomswhich the tutors previously used at Regen-stein available for small groups to meet andstudy. In addition, it is part of a move tobring more people to study in Harper Li¬brary.Loevy states, “The College Tutor Centermakes it possible for students in the Collegeto see tutors at convenient times in a placethat is accessible to everyone.”The Center will be open Monday throughThursday evenings from 6:30 to 11:30 pm,and Sundays from 2 p.m. to 11:30 pm. In ac¬cordance with the Tutors Center’s hours,Harper Library will now be open until 11:30pm on Sunday evenings.SHIRLEY CHUNG Margaret Vinmont tutors a student in HarperThe Organization Of Black Studentsinvites you to shareBlack History Monthwith us!FEB. 1 - Jazz Coffee HouseFeaturing Hanah Jon Taylor’s Odyssey ArtetIDA NOYES CLOISTER CLUB $2.00Cool out with some Jazz and Free Refreshments.FEB 15 - Tribute To Black AchievementIDA NOYES THEATRE, 7 P.M.OBS pays tribute to those who helped us get where we are today.FEB. 21 - Kent LectureFeaturing Paula GeddingsAuthor of When and Where I Enter: The Impact ofBlack Women on Race and Sex in AmericaSWIFT HALLFEB. 22 - Hot Mix PartyFeaturing Kenny Jammin Jasonl-HOUSE, 9 P.M. -1 A.M. $3 W/UCID, $4 W/OFEB. 28 - Black Graduate ForumPresents a Workshop on the Continuity of Afro andAfro American ThoughtSpeakers: Dr. William Jones, Author of Is God a White Racist?Dr. Shiela Walker, Afro and Afro American ReligionWilliam Belan Gouilet, Afro American PhilosophyRandy Matony, Yoruba ReligionFEB. 28 - Gospel ConcertROCKEFELLER CHAPEL, 7:30 P.M.3 _ The Chicago Maroon-Friday, January 31, 1986The Chi~ '« £4.; >v ^ *£$^1MaroonmmStudent Newspaper of the University of ChicagoEDITORIALWhy the tuition hike?It’s that time of year again. Someone in the Administration is about topull a number out of a hat — that number, probably 9 or 10 percent, willbe the percent increase in tuition for the coming year. By mid-Febru¬ary, the Board of Trustees will have approved it and President Gray willgive her usual speech, claiming that the increase is necessary to main¬tain “need-blind admissions”, “high quality instruction and research”and just “keep up with the Jones (Harvard, Yale, MIT, etc.)”.While these are certainly noble goals, it is not clear to us why an in¬crease that is so much higher than the inflation rate is needed year afteryear. Back when inflation rates were sky high, so were the annual tu¬ition increases, reaching a peak of 17+ percent in the 1981-82 and 1982-83academic years. But inflation has not remained up there. As the rate ofinflation began to fall, so did the rate of tuition increases, dropping to 12percent in 1983-84.Although inflation continued to fall towards a low of four or five per¬cent, the corresponding numbers for tuition bottomed out at a muchhigher level. For the 1985-85 year, we got the standard song-and-dancespeech from Gray when she announced a 9+ percent increase in tuition.Since this wasn’t as high as the previous year’s increase, there were nocomplaints — students just went ahead and paid it. Yet when the samespeech (along with some additional scholarship money) was used to jus¬tify the current year’s jump to a 10+ increase, it’s credulity wasstrained.Recent events have led us to seriously question the rationale behindsuch large tuition increases.• When the 1984-85 annual report was released this past October, welearned that above and beyond the usual $2-3 million deficit in the Hospi¬tal, the University was able to cover an extra $12 million write-off forbad debts and charity care — also at the Hospital. They managed to payfor that $15.6 million deficit, PLUS a $3 million deficit in the Computa¬tion Center, and still maintain a balanced budget.• Early this month, the Greenstone Committee released a report rec¬ommending a shift toward more junior faculty, reorganization ofsmaller academic units, and increased enrollment in the College andGraduate divisions. Yet each of these revenue-generating measuresalso has the potential of lowering the quality of students’ educations,due to overcrowded classes and dorms.• Just last week we learned that theHospital’s drain on the Universi¬ty’s budget will, most likely, soon be gone.Yet, despite these apparent improvements in the University’s finan¬cial situation, word has it that the faculty has been told to anticipatelarger than usual cuts in salary and research budgets. As we await thenext tuition increase, we can’t help but wonder what all this means.Perhaps we’re missing something, but we jsut don’t see why tuitionstill needs to increase so much faster than inflation. Since the only finan¬cial information we can obtain comes from annual reports which arepublished up to two years after the fact, we would really like the admin¬istration to explain to us, the students, what the REAL reason is forthese increases. Tuition has doubled in the last six years, but what morehave we gotten for it? If we have to come up with an extra $800-1000 topay next year’s bills, how many more hours will we have to spend work¬ing, instead of studying?We wouldn’t mind paying so much for a great education, if we knewthat’s what we were paying for.Six years of tuition hikes — how they add up:9 80-81 ANNUAL HIKE IN TUITION (%) ’85-86 ANTICIPATEDARM TUITION ’81-82 82-83 ’83-84 ’84-85 15*86 miliON ’86-87 TUITIONCollege $5100 17.6 17.5 12.3 9.5 10.7 $9600 $10,464GraduateDivisions $5385 17.6 17.4 12.4 9 10.9 $10,050 $10,955LibrarySchool $5280 17 17 10.4 9 7.9 $9390 $10,235SSA $5280 17 17 10.4 9 7.9 $9390 $10,235PublicPolicy $5280 17 17 12.2 9 8.1 $9570 $10,431Divinity $5280 17 17 12.2 9 11 $9825 $10,709Law $6192 17.5 17.5 10 8.5 7.1 $10,920 $11,902Pritzker:1st&2nd $5760 17.6 18.1 14.4 9 11 $11,070 $12,0663rdA4th $5760 17.6 18.1 12.1 8.7 10.4 $14,395 $15,690**GraduateSchool ofBusiness $6300 17.5 14.8 10.6 11 9.1 $11,400 $12,426*Caieuiated with an assumed increase of 9% over ’85-86 tuition**Third and fourth year medical students register for four quarters4—The Chicago Maroon—Friday, January 31, 1986 LETTERSLet's bridge the sexist gapTo the Editor:A spade a spade?

And for 12 years we have taken aday off commemorating the birth of a na¬tion dedicated to “liberty justice for all” -except ourselves. And now we finally have aday to celebrate our own struggle for inde¬pendence, the birth of a nation of minoritiesinto a nation bound by law and not by emptypledges to practice what it preaches - a na¬tion dedicated to freedom and justice for all,no matter what color one’s skin might be.That day is January 20, the late Dr. MartinLuther King Jr.’s birthday. A Black Fourthof July.It took about 400 years amounting to 20generations of contributing to the growthand productivity of this nation for Blacks to-finally gain what most other Americanshave taken for granted. And 18 years after King’s death, I, a second year student in thecollege, and most of my fellow Black stu¬dents are the first generation of BlackAmericans to have grown up enjoying therights that others have enjoyed under theConstitution since the birth of this nation in1776: the right to equal opportunity for em¬ployment, the right to exercise politicalpower through the vote, the right to equalityin education, the right to equal opportunityfor success.Today, I find it hard to imagine beingwithout these basic rights, to know thathowever hard I worked, I would not be ableto even hope to choose a career I could excelin, and not just a job I would be chained toby my skin color. I read off the daily indigni-tites of segregation in books, but fear that Imust have only a faint idea of what it musthave been like to be brutally and lawfullyshoved aside from opportunity by the racist, and have no lawful way to get my fair shareof the promise of America. I have been shel¬tered from many of the flagrant violationsof basic human rights that many olderBlacks have been subject to. Racism todaytakes a much subtler form and the disparitybetween races due to its effects is still veryprevalent. The poverty level among Blacksis twice as high as that of the rest of the na¬tion, Blacks are twice as likely to drop out ofcollege before finishing four years, andtwice as likely to be unemployed. But due tothe efforts of Dr. King and men and womenlike him, we now have a much better chanceof correcting these societal ills.So now we have Dr. Martin Luther King,Jr. Day, a federal holiday, a day to take astep back from the rat-race and look backon the history that we are destined to relieveif forgotten. Or January 201 took time out toreflect on the accomplishments of Dr. King and his people. For without those whofought for freedom before him, he would nothave had a stable base to do the hugeamount of work that he did, and withoutthose who have continued his efforts sincehis death, we would not be able to forward toan even brighter future than that which wehad just begun to realize before that tragicday in 1968. Looking back on the past re¬minds me that there is still much morestruggling to be done and that we must lookto ourselves, the new generation, to contin¬ue that struggle to make the United States aplace of freedom and justice for all - notonly the lawbooks, but in the hearts andminds of every American, regardless ofrace, creed, or sex, in the tradition of Mar¬tin Luther KingRemember Black History Month,Jesse Goodwin,Organization of Black StudentsThese slurs against women must stop now!To the Editor:The January 24th issue of the ChicagoMaroon was a glaring display of women’scontinuing struggle for equality and dig¬nity at this great University.In a letter on the editorial page, Dr. Jen¬nie Traschen informs us that the Universi¬ty of Chicago Student Government Associ¬ation will spend $2163 this February tobring James Peterson of Playboy Maga¬zine to speak on “Love and Sex”. For thepast 13 years Mr. Peterson has written acolumn in Playboy Magazine called the“Playboy Advisor”. He holds a BA in En¬glish. He has no training in sexual counsel¬ing. What we have to rely on is Mr. Peter¬son’s own undercover experiences, andvicarious encounters through the queriesof Playboy readers sent through the USmail. The obvious, and more significantobjection is that Mr. Peterson speaks fromthe platform of a magazine that has profit¬ed from and promoted the suffocatingideology of the sexual objectification ofwomen.The editorial page also contained twoletters from women expressing their de¬nunciation of the sexual stereotyping andobjectification of women written in re¬sponse to Terrv Edward’s comments onThe Women of U of C” calendar. A fea- article on the front page describes theproblem of sexual harassment at the Uni¬versity and the formation of a new Com¬mittee Against Sexual Harassment. Onpage seven, a woman who has just under¬gone an abortion makes a plea to the “Menat the U of C” for understanding and sex¬ual responsibility.However, the ramifications of the aboveletters and events do not impact upon theminds of the Maroon editors.The viewpoint by Michael Fitzgerald os¬tensibly lampoons pre-professional stu¬dents, but contains those very sexist ste¬reotypes and double standards we struggleto have remedied, and which Ms. Edwardsand Ms. Bacon (the other authors on thatpage) denounce.Mr. Fitzgerald comments not only on the“pre-professional’s” aspirations, but alsoon their sexual lives. Who are these char¬acters? Jimmy Pre-med, who through hisillustrious high school career, dated thehead cheerleader and then “dumped her”.Dirk Pre-professional — he dated the “en¬tire homecoming court, picked off the headcheerleader as she rebounded off JimmyPre-med, explored her anatomy...thendumped her.”In contrast* Susan Pre-law, the tokenwoman here, is asexual, or rather, she has been desexualized by Mr. Fitzgerald.Susan doesn’t date. It’s possible men likeMr. Fitzgerald are threatened by someonelike Susan. Susan “envied the head cheer¬leader (clearly, in Mr. Fitzgerald’s mind,the single most important value, overrid¬ing all others for which women could beprized, is that of sexual attractiveness —to be sought by men, and envied bywomen). Mr. Fitzgerald goes on to de¬scribe the head cheerleader as an “easylay” (the old double standard).What are the exams preprofessionalstake for admission to professional school?The “GMAT (Greedy Males AvoidingTaxes). LSAT (Lascivious Sots Avertingthe Truth), and GRE (Idealists and FutureHomemakers of America).” The male pro¬fessional students are depicted as poten¬tially wealthy, sexually active opportun¬ists who choose law, medicine or business,whereas the female students choose im¬practical graduate degrees in unstatedareas and prepare to be dowdy dependenthousewives.The aberrant few who choose non¬professional academic endeavoi-s, those“closet geniuses,” as Mr. Fitzgerald de¬scribes them, we discover are (no sur¬prise) MALE, also obsessed with the headcheerleader. The “closest genius” would also “dump” her, too. if Mr. Fitzgeraldgave him the chance.Women are prized and despised for theirsexuality. In the words of Mr. Fitzgeraldwe are faceless fungible objects to be “ex¬plored” and discarded. We have beenmade invisible and our voices silenced.Our husbands, lovers, colleagues shrinkfrom irritation and disgust in the discov¬ery that we are different (translate “infe¬rior, strange, bizarre, demanding, unrea¬sonable”) from the monolithic fictionalwoman. The toll is intimate and insidi¬ous.The Maroon would not publish materialcontaining racist or anti-semitic slurs. TheStudent Government Association is consti¬tutionally prohibited from inviting tocampus groups or individuals who seek aplatform to spread racist or anti-semiticideologies. Why cannot women demandthe same consideration? When will thecharge of “sexist” carry a real sting andapproach a level of social unacceptibilityas having bad breath or body odor? In theinterim, the women of this Universityshould demand more accountability fromour student organizations and representa¬tives.Lynn T. Shepler.

Mark Kolodny, organizer and refereefor both games, says that although anumber of last season’s players are not in¬volved this year “because they couldn’tstand the paranoia,” he has had many peo¬ple inquire about a possible tournamentnext quarter.For those who are not familiar with “As¬sassin”, each player is given the name andaddress of another player whom he musttrack down and “kill” with a dart gun, rub¬ber knife, or other non-lethal weapon. How¬ever, at the same time, someone else has hisname and addressa and is trying to do equalinjustice to him. The number of living con¬ testants becomes smaller and smaller untilone triumphant assassin remains.Last year’s game lasted about one monthwhich, it would seem, could be a drain onyour sanity as well as study time. With re¬gard to the former, it helps to either main¬tain your sanity or not have much to beginwith. With regard to study time, a numberof people found that their work habits actu¬ally improved during the game. Accordingto Mark, one of the best places to keep a lowprofile is in the Reg, which became the siteof a number of assassins.This year’s game, which started lastweek, is going much faster than last year’sgame with only about half of the people stillalive. Although it is too late to play thisquarter, there may be a game run nextquarter and probably a team game in thenear future. If you are interested in playing,the past year’s prices for registration were$2 for the single and $3 each for the teamgame.

Despite the absence ofteam captain - high scorer Everett Lee andthe lack of a male diver, the men’s teamlead by sophomore flyer Ray Cullom, andfreshman standout Tord Alshabkhoun man¬aged to place a high fourth in a field of tenteams. The small women s team sent arelay and three individuals to Friday andSaturday’s finals. These achievements andthe contribution of 1985 National Qualifyingdiver Rose Kivens, who placed 2nd in the 3Mcompetition, left the women in a comfort¬able 5th place.Although the team has been doing mainlylong and middle distance workouts, severalindividuals managed to win honors in thesprint events against some well rested com¬petition. Cullom and Alshabkhoun, whowent into the finals seated 6th in this event,sprinted to glory taking first place in the 100fly and 100 free respectively. Seniorwomen’s captain, Tina Ellerbee placed awell earned 3rd in a tough field of 100flyer’s, and then came back Saturday to win the gruelling 200 butterfly. Sophomorebackstroker Esta Spalding, despite ashoulder injury, took a commanding third inboth the 100 and 200 backstroke. In additionthe women’s 200 medley relay comprised ofSpalding, Ellerbee, freshman Mary BethNovy, and freshman sprinter Kris Novakplaced second in Saturday’s finals.The distance workouts appeared to havedone some good as senior captain Doug Cpriano and third year student Beth And _son scored points in the 1650 yds swim. An¬derson also made it to the finals in the 200backstroke where she placed a convincing6th.Coach Fober appeared pleased with theweekend’s results. “Both individual as wellas team performance were excellent,”Fober noted. He added, “This is a positivesign as the Conference Meets draw near. Hesited the performance of Cullom, Ellerbee,Alshabkhoun, and Kivens as particularlypromising in a National field.

The Maroons lost this past Satur¬day to Ripon in a tough four point game andbeat Beloit on Tuesday. The game againstRipon was expected to be a tough one as theRedman finished second in the conferencelast year, but the Beloit game should havebeen an easy victory for them.The Maroons played some of their bestbasketball all season against Ripon, keep¬ing the score close the whole way. Good con¬sistent play from the starters throughoutthe first half made the difference. Scoringfrom senior forward Gretchen Gates andsophomore forward Kathy Fitzpatrickpaced Chicago to a 33-30 half time lead. TheMaroos played equally well in the secondhalf. Gates and Fitzpatrick continued toproduce from the field and although fresh¬man guard Charlean “CC” Cobbin did notshoot well, she showed marked improve¬ment in directing the offense and controll¬ing the ball. The second half ended with twoteams tied at 63.The teams continued to see-saw back andforth until late in the first overtime. KathyFitzpatrick came to the line with theMaroons down by two. Although she was100% from the line earlier that night, shemissed the front end of the one and one. Bythis point both Cobbin and Gates had fouledout on very questionable officiating and theonly recourse for the Maroons seemed to beto foul some more. With only a few secondsleft on the clock and Ripon ahead by two, aRipon player missed a free throw giving theMaroons an opportunity, but the shootermanaged to slip into the lane, get her ownrebound, and make the put-back to putRipon up by the final score of 73-69. basketball team splits two gamesChicago fared much better against Beloitthe following Tuesday, but their excellentplay in the first 37 minutes of the game wasmarred by a poor, lackadaisical, final threeminutes. The Maroons came out shootingpoorly, but they played a very tough 2-1-2zone that restricted all of the Ripon shootersto long range jumpshots. Chicago started toshoot better and with the help of a Fitzpa¬trick three point play they extended theirlead to six points half way through the firsthalf. Cobbin took control of the offense and patiently worked the ball around findinggood shots. Fitzpatrick and Gates alsocrashed the boards hard to provide an extrapunch. The Maroons went into the half lead¬ing by 16, 38-22.The second half went much the same way,Chicago extending its lead to 21 with 5 min¬utes left in the game. However, the Bucan-eers went into a full court press that caughtthe Maroons both surprised and unpre¬pared. The lead quickly dropped and contin¬ued to until Coach Susan Brower substituted her starters back into the game. The gameended with a Maroon victory of 65-58, butmore important than the victory was the in¬eptitude of the bench which lost 14 points toBeloit in two minutes. The Maroons couldget away with a similar performanceagainst last place Lawrence University thisweekend, but against tougher conferencefoes like Lake Forest and St. Norbert, bothof whom are scheduled in the next twoweeks, everyone will have to be product¬ive.SUSIE BRADY A crowd turned out to shape up at Kangeiko TuesdayThe Third String In Canton, opposites attract David GardinerDennis A. ChanskyThe football Hall of Fame has decided to induct this sea¬son two of football’s more memorable players, Dancin’Francis and the Golden Boy. It’s funny, but there is littlesimilarity between the two. Paul Hornung was a hero and awinner and a brave football player. Tarkenton was a goatand a loser and a conceited football player. Yet, I guess,there is room in Canton for them both.As a gambler, I remember them both vividly. Hornungwas the guy who got suspended by Pete Roselle for bettingon his own team to win. I still wonder, what the hell waswrong with that. I could see if the guy bet against himself,or bet with a bookie, but this was all legal. Las Vegas andwith the spread. I can’t imagine anything more wholesome.Sure Joe Namath can guarantee a victory with his bigmouth, but Hornung was willing to put his money on theline, and in those days in the late fifties and early sixties,money was not a disposable item to football players, evento championship football players.Tarkenton, on the other hand, was the guy you couldalways bet against. Bing Crosby once described Bob Hopeas “the all-time Academy Award loser,” and that is thevery best description one can offer for Tarkenton, that hewas the all-time Super Bowl loser. It is amazing that thenational debt persists knowing that there are people likeTarkenton in sports. I’d wager a billion if I knew Tarkentonwas going to be getting the ball.And to those who are puzzled by the relationship betweenMike Ditka and Jim McMahon, well they probably neverheard about all the problems between Hornung and VinceLombardi. The great coach loved his great running back,but when his great running back reverted to his primadonna, Notre Dame Heisman quarterback form, the greatcoach would not hesitate physically or verbally to knock hisgreat running back on his golden boy’s ass.But Hornung did it all for the great coach. He was bigenough to run straight ahead. He was fast enough to breakaway on a sweep. And he could throw off the half back op¬tion like a Heisman quarterback. And if the great coachhad given the ball at the goal line to Ray Nitzchke instead ofhim, Hornung would have knocked the great coach on hisfat little ass. Hornung was part of the most potent backfield in the his¬tory of pro football, along with Bart Starr and Jim Taylor.Together, they dominated football for a decade, confidentlypiling up the championships during the era that was oncedescribed in Sports Illustrated as football’s “hour ofpower.” Certainly, there can be no doubt that Paul Hor¬nung belongs in the Hall of Fame. He and the rest of thosePackers belong to the Hall of Fame.And then there is dancin’ Francis, the man who suppo¬sedly had the golden left arm, who completed more passesfor more yards, etc., etc. But one still has to ask the usualquestions, “So what?” and “Says who?” What profit it aman to gain the whole record book yet lose the big game,over and over again. But that’s not my only problem withTarkenton. I didn’t particularly care for the way he piledup all those yards and completions. Any professional quar¬terback can complete a six yard dump pass at will. When itcomes on third-and-eight, it won’t do your team much good,but it will pump your stats way up. Sure, he sometimes wasable to break a long one to his great receivers, or dump aquick one to his great running back, but you have to blamesomeone for all those Super Bowl losses. Bud Grant, I sup¬pose, merits most of the blame, but Fran has to share itwith him.I guess that if I were pressed, I would have to admit thatthere is room in the Hall of Fame for habitual losers, and Ido not think that it is a travesty that Dancin’ Francis hasgone to take a place in the shrine. He had, and still has, awhole bunch of people in the truly enlightened state of Min¬nesota believing he really wasn’t a bum, and they have aright to have him put in the hall. But what irks me, is thatthey put Hornung and Tarkenton in together.The 28 members on the Hall of Fame selection committeereally blew the timing on all this. Last year’s Hall of FameClass could have been composed entirely of winners. Na¬math, Staubach, Roselle and Hornung, each a winner,could have shared a cab to the ceremonies in statelinessand pride. Then, this year, misery deserving company as itdoes, Fran and OJ could have shared stories of their greatpersonal achievements, and neither of them would have to fear being blinded by the reflections off the diamondrings.—DAC* * * * *This week I though maybe I'd do something really origi¬nal and write about The Fridge in my column. But seeing asthat someone else beat me to it last week. I’ve decided towrite about something a little bit more important — WalterPayton. Sunday’s Bear win marked the end of an era forPayton. No longer will he be remembered as the greatestrunning back never to win the Super Bowl. He is now morethan ever, a winner. This fact coupled with watching himwalk alone off the field Sunday upset me. Why has the grea¬test running back of all-time suddenly been thrust into thebackdrop just as his team has finally reached the pinnacleof success? Wouldn’t it be much more appropriate if he wasactually heralded as their driving force? Or at least evenrecognized?As Walter Payton walked alone off the field Sunday, Itried to imagine just what might be going through his mind.In the distance. Perry carried Ditka off the field. McMahonwas giving the network one last shot of his headband. Andall the people at home must have been thinking about thatwonderful short film showed before the game about thecrippled veterans and the bridegroom stupid enough tomake his wedding day Super Bowl Sunday. And all thewhile, there was Walter all alone. No features. No fanfareNo touchdown. No smile.How about that goal-line call? Boy, big Mike sure pleasedthe nation with giving The Fridge the ball. How aboutpleasing Walter and all the Chicago fans who’ve sufferedwith him for so many years w atching him play behind ineptcoaches and offensive lines?Nope. No such luck for the class man in the NFL. SureSweetness got his ring, but one has to feel bad remember¬ing his walking off the field wearing his “I Love The World”headband. Walter loves the world alright.

The collection of exquisitepaintings by the french Cubist Jean Met-zinger, currently at the Smart Gallery,raises this question. It also allows us totake advantage of the error of history, toplay the art critic on the cutting edge andto be among the first to reevaluate Met-zinger’s art.Perhaps Metzinger's art is difficult tocomprehend because his paintings anddrawings seem to be both foreign andstrangely familiar. Familiar because al¬most all western art in the twentieth cen¬tury has drawn heavily from Cubism, andso we recognize much of the style. Thisreassuring familiarity is illusory, howev¬er, and ultimately it hinders rather than helps us to understand his art. Our moderneyes, accustomed to abstract art, mayeven perceive Metzinger’s work as realis¬tic. Obviously this robs the works of theiroriginal radicality and obscures the ar¬tist’s intention.At the same time the paintings seemforeign because they use the often obscureand conceptual language of analytical Cu¬bism. These two problems must be solvedbefore the works are intelligible in theirproper historical context. If you believe,after seeing the exhibit, that Metzinger’swork reveals a delicate and highly tunedartistic sense and cannot be dismissedmerely as mediocre art, then the mysteryof his obscurity is not easily solved. Thefirst two obscuring elements, our false rec¬ognition of the abstract style and thestrangeness of the Cubist vision, can be eliminated with some knowledge of histo¬ry.Jean Metzinger is known primarily asthe co-author with Albert Gleizes of Du Cu-bisme a book published in 1912 thataimed to explain Cubism to the public andthe critics. Metzinger had come to Parisseveral years earlier and had passedthrough a Neo-Impressionist period. Neo-Impressionists, of whom Seurat is the mostfamous, generally sought to reduce thenatural world, form, space and color par¬ticularly, to a system of discernible ele¬ments. Cubism was an outgrowth of sever¬al movements in art includingNeo-Impressionism. There is a clear con¬nection between the inexplicable contra¬dictions in perspective and the confound¬ing of the organic with the inorganicevident in Neo-Impressionist works likeSeurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Is¬land of the Grande Jatte (1884), and thepredominance of spatial contradictionsand juxtapositions in the Cubist workssome 25 years later.Like so many ‘isms’ in art, the name Cu¬bism was originally derogatory. It wascoined by the critic Vauxcelles (who wasalso responsible for the term Fauves) in1908 at an exhibition of Braque’s paint¬ings at the Kahnweiler Gallery. In a re¬view of the exhibition, Vauxcelles saidthat Braque’s paintings reduced them¬selves ‘a des cubes', and he wrote of Bra¬que’s ‘bizarraries cubiques’. Metzingerbegan to develop his Cubist style around1910, and it was in 1911 that the Cubistsfirst appeared as a group in an exhibit atthe Salon des Independants. It was Met¬zinger who demanded that the galleryhang his works together with those ofGleizes, Le Fauconnier, Delauney, andLeger in a separate room instead of hang¬ing them randomly, as was the custom. Itwas this group then, and not Braque andPicasso, whom the public first called theCubists. Braque and Picasso very rarelyshowed their work, although Metzingerand a few others were familier with theirCubist paintings; they were greatly in¬fluenced by Braque and Picasso, andbrought that influence to the other Cu¬bists.It is a much debated question whetherBraque or Picasso started Cubism. Sufficeto say that in the same period (1907-1909)Picasso was painting Les Demoisellesd’Avignon and Braque was painting atL’Estaque and La Roche-Guyon, two favor¬ite spots of the post-impressionist Ce¬zanne from whom Braque's early Cubiststyle emerged. Both Picasso’s Les Demoi¬selles d'Avignon and Braque’s paintingssuch as Harbour in Normandy, reveal aradically new treatment of space andform. Conventional perspective is aban¬doned. unoccupied space is broken intojagged planes as if it were solid mass,light arbitrarily falls on forms from sever¬al directions and form is geometricallysimplified. In Braque’s painting, the or¬ganic trees are indistinguishable from theinorganic houses; the side of a house dis¬solves into a shadowed plane with no illu-sionistic function and then materializesCubist Isnacape, 1911*12 Ls Plume Jaune, 1919 again as a hill.Although Picasso’s Les Demoisellesd'Avignon was not seen by the world until1937, many artists including Metzingerand Braque had seen it in 1907-1908 andwere profoundly shocked and inspired byit. Both Braque and Picasso used Ce¬zanne’s late styles as a starting point fortheir early Cubist works, but Picasso alsoborrowed from primitive African, Byzan¬tine. and Medieval art; all of which werefree from the Renaissance ideal of copyingnature objectively.Gleizes and Metzinger in their book DuCubisme explained the new view of reali¬ty evident in the Cubist paintings. In thebook, the authors distinguish between su¬perficial realism and profound realism.The former is merely visual; it is the reali¬ty of all painters who aim merely to imi¬tate nature. Profound realism is concep¬tual: the painter paints from nature butproduces a highly subjective, personalizedvision because the painter is not depen¬dent on the eye, but can draw from memo¬ry in order to unveil a subjective percep¬tion of the object’s essence. The authorsexplain that elements such as perspective,lighting and color must be eliminated be¬cause they are accidental signs of a partic¬ular time of day or a particular position inspace. Color is only the effect of light shin¬ing on an object and thus it also alters theway objects really are. The authors stressthat the painting has a life of its own. Thecanvas is two-dimensional and thereforethe suggestion of space by foreshorteningand of volumetric form by lighting, lineand color are merely devices to imitatethe retina’s perception of the objectrather than the mind’s concept of the ob¬ject.Metzinger’s Cubist Landscape from1911 at the Smart Gallery shows a strongborrowing from Braque’s series of land¬scape paintings of 1908-1909. Light andshade randomly emphasize certain por¬tions of the painting and there is no consis¬tent light source. Background and fore¬ground are confounded; for instance thehouse roof in the central valley of thepainting becomes the side of the hill thatwould appear to be closer in space to us.Tree trunks seem to be of the same sub¬stance as houses; space between houses isfragmented into jutting angles that catchthe light and glisten like solid matter. Butdespite some transformations of spaceinto matter and the organic into the inor¬ganic, Metzinger’s Cubist Landscape iscautious. There is a sense of a progressioninto space in the painting, and we are verymuch aware of the subject matter.In Portrait of Albert Gleizes from1911-12, the torso of Albert Gleizes is di¬vided evenly and perhaps too literallyinto slices. Again the subject matter is notat all obscured. In one “slice” Gleizes’ eyelooks at us from amidst its wooden, geo-metricized frame like a tiny bird trappedin a cage. Metzinger strongly emphasizesthe picture plane by putting warm andcool tones next to each other, like the bril¬liant purple of Gleizes’ tie beside a steelgrey; and by the subtle textures of the hatand the palatte board to the left.Similarly in La Plume jaune from 1912color and trompe I'oeil effects—like thedelicate shining yellow plume of thewoman’s hat and the detailed lace of herhandkerchief and curtain—create an al¬most unbearable tension with the frag¬mented shifting planes of her face andtorso.These three works, which I considerhighlights of the gxhibit, show that Met¬zinger has been in the shadow of his morefamous contemporaries for an unjustlylong time. This returns us to the originalmystery of why he has been ignored. Per¬haps the romantic notion of the unappre¬ciated misunderstood artist, who can onlyexpress self through art. obstructed anappreciation for Metzinger’s work. Hewas both articulate and well known in hisday. Many critics cite Metzinger for beingtoo literal minded in his application of Cu¬bist techniques. Perhaps by his attempt todefine Cubism he succeeded only in limit¬ing his art and not enriching it; or maybehe just allied himself too closely to themovement, so that when it died, he fadedfrom peoples’ minds. While the problemsof false familiarity and an inaccessiblestyle are more easily solved then thelarger mystery of Metzinger’s unde¬served obscurity, this exhibit amply justi¬fies his revival.

Arnulf Rainer is theworst, and his images really mar thefew worthwhile things about theshow. He photographs these simulat¬ed images of like, people dismem¬bering themselves, sticking forksinto their heads and such—it’s sadis¬tic subject matter, it’s sadistic to theviewer—but its worst sin is that itdoesn’t have any apparent reasonfor extreme grossness. It's just sen¬sationalist violence. I could alsohave lived without ever having seena photo essay that documents thecrucifixion of a corpse-like figure inwhite onto a huge slab of meat—seriously.

The arrival of Hilde Wangelinjects some interest into the pro¬ceedings; she turns his life upsidedown with her cheery appeal anddemand that he be exactly what hewas ten years ago, when she firstmet him. Julia Jonathan does a cred¬itable job with the role of Hilda, butshe is too unfocused for us to eithersympathize with the character or re¬ally dislike her. Everyone, includingHilde, does a lot of longing for thepast; they seem to be rooted sodeeply in it there is no room for anyhope of the future. Director Donaldllko doesn’t seem to know what todo with the Court space. (I suspectthat a lot of the problems of theproduction lie in llko's hands; hedoesn’t seem to know what to dowith Ibsen’s play at all, handling itwith kid gloves and therefore ren¬dering it lifeless.) Two or three char¬acters give entire speeches withineir backs to most of the audience,which is ineffective and distracting.Maybe I would have been a lot hap¬pier with this production if the playitself weren’t so uninteresting.

Thisproduction of Ibsen’s play certainlyleaves something to be desired.Walking into the theater, the elabo¬rate set is certainly impressive—theset is designed to show the study,workroom, sitting room, and gardenof the Master Builder's house. A lit¬tle visibility is sacrificed in this am¬bitious design, especially consider¬ing that the audience surroundsnearly three quarters of the stage.But I could deal with this if the per¬formance itself didn’t seem out ofplace in this professionally executedset. Only the lesser characters areallowed to become real characters,with emotion and purpose. HarvardSolness (Maury Cooper), the agingmaster builder, seems petty, para¬noid, and generally less than charm¬ing. His affair with Kaja (Ann Dowd,who injects some definite appealinto the pathetic figure) remains amystery, since there is no real indi¬cation of the source of her attractionto him. He is unfair to her uncle andcruel to her cousin/fiance—a talent¬ed architect whom Solness holdsback because of the threat of theyoung man’s talent and youth.

Nothingcot.d be further from the truth. Infact, it isremarkable that an academician ofChomsky's stature should display such at¬tention to detail and devotion to mattersoutside his field of professional concern.Chomsky does his homework.The Washington Connection and ThirdWorld Fascism (The first volume of NoamChomsky and Edward Herman's PoliticalEconomy of muman Rights* should be re¬quired reading for every person in theUnited States (perhaps in their high schoolAmerican History and Institutions class).The title might put you off. I think it putme off originally. Yet Chomsky and Her¬man are fully aware of the charged nature(f words like "fascism” for the averageeader. Thus they describe how JosephButtinger, an early advisor to Diem inSouth Vietman, thought that the term "fa¬scist" was inappropriate for Diem. WhileDiem "had most of the vicious characteris¬tics of fascism he 'acked the mass basethat a Hitler or Mussolini could muster."(Chomsky and Herman’s paraphrase,Washington Connection, p. 30. The actualquote appears in the notes). Citing But¬tinger, Chomsky and Herman use the term"subfascist" in the rest of the book, whenrefering to fascist-like regimes withoutmass base.The Washington Connection is a goodbasic book on the U.S. sphere of influenceand how it is maintained. The book focuseson two fundamental issues: the extensiveuse of torture and oppression to maintainthe U.S. sphere as a "favorable invest¬ment climate,” and the complicity of themass media in glossing over and misrepre¬senting this system of pro-business repres¬sion. They conduct a case by case study ofthe massive destruction of unions, peasantorganizations and other movements whichresist the U.S. business domination in whatthey call the system of U.S. "clientstates.” They also repeatedly contrastfrequently candid internal governmentdocuments with the sometimes mindbog-gling whitewashes which appear in themajor media.Chomsky’s views are summed up in anexcellent passage quoted by a hostile re¬viewer of his Towards a New Cold War.In every society there will emergea caste of propagandists who laborto disguise the obvious, to concealthe actual workings of power, and tospin a web of mythical goals andpurposes, utterly benign, that alle¬gedly guide national policy. A typi¬cal thesis of the propaganda systemis that the nation is an agent in inter¬national affairs, not special groupswithin it, and that the nation is guid¬ed by certain ideals and principles,all of them noble, (pp 86-87).The critic concludes, “...he may very wellbe right. But for all his righteous anger, Iwish he had told it all a little more even-handedly.” (NYT 3.8.82).The term "propaganda,” again, mayhave put you off. But, as with the word"fascism," Chomsky quotes establishmentwriters who praise the value of "propa¬ganda" in a "democratic” society. In the1930s, for example, political scientistHarold Lasswell affectionately describedthe job of the propagandist.:The modern propagandist, like themodern psychologist, recognizesthat men are often poor judges ofr their own interests...the task of thepropagandist is that of inventinggoal symbols which serve the doublefunction of facilitating adoption andadaption (quoted in New Cold War, p66.)Edward Bernays, the father of the publicrelations industry in the United States,writes, in his book Propaganda (publishedin 1928) that the conscious and intelligent ma¬nipulation of the organized habitsand opinions of the masses is an im¬portant elemerlt in democratic soci¬ety... it is the intelligent minoritieswhich need to make use of propa¬ganda continuously and systemat¬ically (Propaganda pp 9, 31).Of course, these "intelligent minorities"don’t work for free. Instead, they hiretheir “conscious and intelligent manipula¬tion” out to the corporate clients who pa¬tronize their public relations firms. Ber¬nays himself demonstrated the value ofpublic relations twenty years later. Work¬ing for the United Fruit Company, Bernaysconvinced the American public that Guate¬mala’s democratically elected presidentArbenz was really a communist, pavingthe way for the CIA coup there in 195&(Schlesinger and Kinzer, Bitter Fruit,Chapter 6).Thus, Chomsky shows that establishmentintellectuals were quite happy to describethemselves as "propagandists," as leastwhen their audience was sufficiently nar¬row. With the cold war, howeVer, "propa¬ganda" became something that only thecommunist enemy produced. Respectablescholars are now much'more discrete intheir descriptions of “free world” thought"manipulation."The public relations industry, while onlyone of the mechanisms by which wealthbuys public opinion, is nevertheless ofstaggering importance. The businfess jour¬nal Fortune, for example, in 1949, esti¬mated that "nearly half of the contents ofthe best newspapers is derived from pub¬licity releases; nearly all the contents ofthe lesser papers...are directly or indirect¬ly the work of public relations depart¬ments" (quoted in New Cold War, p 67). Tothe efforts of public relations depart¬ments, one must add the influence of politi-cans dependent on wealthy supporters,government and industry "experts," andright wing thing tanks like the Hoover In¬stitute, the American Enterprise Institute,and the John M. Olin Foundation, which re¬ceive substantial corporate contributions.Wealth has an overwhelming influenceon the media. Journalism is a business,and like all businesses, it knows how toavoid trouble. This is the case even thoughan important part of the business is tomaintain the appearance of looking fortrouble.Chomsky’s documentation is an impor¬tant part of his work. His positions are, ofcourse, extremely controversial, as hehimself recognizes. For these reasons, heprefers to quote establishment sources,and to document his points exhaustively.The notes in the back of his books providewhat amounts to an excellent and exten¬sive annotated bibliography.The Washington Connection is an excel¬lent general work on U.S. policy in theThird World. After the Cataclysm (the sec¬ond volume of Chomsky and Herman’s Po¬litical Economy of Human Rights) is a goodplace to start on the Indochinese societieswhich survived the United States’ murder¬ous devastation in the Vietnam War.Towards a New Cold War is a collection ofessays written by Chomsky between 1973and 1981. Topics here range from theVietnam War, to U.S. policy in the MiddleEast, to post World War II planning, whenthe U.S. replaced Europe as the hegemonicpower in the Third World. Recent books byChomsky include The Fateful Triangle: TheUnited States, Israel, and the Palestin¬ians, and Turning the Tide, (on the rela¬tions between the arms race, Third Worldintervention, and the institutional struc¬ture of the United States), which will soonbe released by South End Press.Mr. Chomsky will deliver two addressesat the University of Chicago this Thursday,Feb 6. The first, at 2:30 pm in Swift Hall,will be on "The War Process: the U.S., theMiddle East, and Central America." Thurs¬day evening at 7:30 in Mandel Hall, hewill speak on "The Rationality of Collec¬tive Suicide: A Discussion of the ArmsRace.” On Friday morning, Feb 7, at 9:30,in Swift Hall, Chomsky will engage in aninformal discussion on "University Commu¬nities and Social Responsibility.” Bishop Desmond MpNo TutuTUTU: AND THE STRUGGLE---►-RAGES ONby Laura RebeckWhen I attended the Chicago TheologicalSeminary’s ceremony conferring uponBishop Desmond Tutu an honorary degree,I suspected from looking at the programthat this would be a pleasant but blandceremony, highlighted only by the Bish¬op’s appearance. I was surprised, there¬fore, to find that the CTS had appreciatedthat the presence of the Bishop not onlyafforded an opportunity for statement,but almost necessitated it. Their politicswere not the most radical, trusting rathertoo much to divine intervention; but afterthe religious right’s dogmatic spoutingabout their God-given right, it was goodfor me to hear that religion and politicalconscience are not necessarily opposed.The seminary obviously understood thathosting the Bishop could not be a passiveaffair. One of the first speakers, Dr. W.Sterling Cary, himself a trustee of CTS, in¬sisted upon the reality of our involvementin the apartheid system in South Africa,making it clear that we should not sepa¬rate our ceremonial attitude from our so¬cial responsibilities—nor should we try."Your presence here indicates that...theirsuffering is not distant suffering—it is oursuffering, inflicted on us...It is our respon¬sibility as Americans to protest the con¬structive engagement policy of our gov¬ernment.” Assistant Professor SusanThistlethwaite added her feelings, callingit "selling life, buying death.”The Bishop himself, of course, made hisposition immediately clear. He took his own shot at Falwell, declaring, "in spite ofwhat a certain gentleman has said, I knowon this occasion that I do speak on behalfof millions." He also emphasized the im¬possibility of separating America from in¬volvement in the apartheid: "Those whoinvest in our country, know it or not, wantit or not, buttress one of the most vicioussystems the world has known.” Unfortun¬ately, the University trustees, unlike theseminary trustees, were not required tobe at the ceremony; how many wouldallow the truth of the Bishop’s statementto penetrate their capitalist conscious¬ness?Tutu also called upon the US to aid thedissolving of apartheid, encouragingAmericans to "help us by exerting pres¬sure on the South African government-political pressure...but most of all, eco¬nomic pressure.” He praised the actions ofstudent protestors as "tremendous” andencouraged them to continue their actions.His address contained hope for the future,but made it clear that this hope could berealized only when the US understandsthat we are as responsible as Botha andthe other members of the ruling white eli¬tist class for the situation, and our respon¬sibility grows as we allow the situation tocontinue unhampered. If we do not takeaction for its eradication, then “the landof the free” is as much a lie as if we werethe enslavers, allowing other humanbeings to be shackled by the South Africangovernment’s cruel denial of their right toexist as human beings.by Carole Byrd“...and the struggle rages on.” Articleafter article, the same continuing caption,a never-ceasing struggle without an ap¬parent end. Why hasn’t the struggle inSouth Africa ended? Why does the spectreof increasing butchery and repression con¬tinue to haunt that country, while our owncountry stands in the shadow of racist poli¬tics? But the struggle is not nearly ended,and if you, my reader, were not personal¬ly involved as an active viable force in themovement this past semester, or this pastyear—perhaps you have part of the an¬swer right here.Last Friday morning, after Bishop Des¬mond Tutu gave his address at the Rock¬efeller Chapel in acceptance of an honor¬ary degree he received from the ChicagoTheological Seminary, a small group of Uof C students and faculty lead a group oflocal family, friends and neighbors to Uni¬versity president Hanna Gray’s office, topresent a demand for immediate divest¬ment from South Africa. The group ofabout 50 or 60 people chanting anti sing¬ing up the back stairs of the administra¬tion building caused a mild disturbance, tosay the least. Unfortunately, PresidentGray was not available to receive the de¬mand. Jonathan Kleinbard, PR man fromthe top office, relayed the message to theprotesting group that President Gray waseither out of the building entirely or atleast not ready to receive the demand (hewasn't sure which). The exchange wasmade instead with the Chairman of theBoard'of Trustees, Kenneth B. West, who was interrupted from his board meeting.The exchange occurred in what, as a south¬erner, I would call a rather "gentlemanly”fashion. Sahotra Sarkar, who handedover the brief, type-written, divestmentdemand, expressed his desire that theUniversity respond promptly to the de¬mand. He also expressed his concern thatthe University had not been completelytruthful in its past explanations for its re¬fusal to divest. Chairman West refutedthat point rather briskly, claiming it wasmerely an interpretation on Mr. Sarkar’spart.What we would hope, of course, is thateach energetic push forward on the part offaculty, staff and students at the Universi¬ty is creating a source of enlightenmentwithin the administration. We would liketo think that the administration is begin¬ning to understand that for people whohave no right to vote in a government oftheir own making, nor to live in the city oftheir choice. nor to educate, clothe andfeed themselves and their children, 'a con¬cern for civil liberties must come beforeany concern for employment. In theapartheid system, freedom is not beingemployed in the economic infrastructure ofa racist regime. We would hope that ouradministrators are beginning to under¬stand that a policy of constructive engage¬ment will not convert American universi¬ties and institutions into the "agents oftransfiguration in South Africa" that Bish¬op Tutu envisioned in his speech last Fri¬day. The power to change South Africa isindisputably economic power. That powerlies in total divestment.4—FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1986—GREY CITY JOURNALADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT%★★★★★★★I WHO WILL DECIDEAMERICA'S FUTURE? ★★★★★★★WILL IT BE JERRY FALWELL AND HIS MOTLEY CREW OF BIGOTS, YAHOOS, RACISTS, JINGOES,WARHAWKS, AND PIOUS MERCENARIES?OR WILL IT BE THE COMPASSIONATE, HUMANITARIAN AND PATRIOTIC MAJORITY OFAMERICANS WHO STILL BELIEVE IN THE DEMOCRATIC IDEAL OF GOVERNMENT OF, BY ANDFOR THE PEOPLE?*l*or more than five years, the political neanderthals of the so-called"New-Right", including the Reagan administration and its allies, the"moral majority", the Moonies and the Lyndon LaRouche gang haveplotted ana toiled to win "hearts and minas" on campuses ot America.They have spent millions subsidizing right wing campus papers andorganizations to counter "liberalism^ in colleges and universities.They pose as super-patriots when in fact they are Tories who havedone more to harm our people and our nation tnan any real or imagin¬ed enemy ever has done or could hope to do.Their efforts on campuses have been in vain.

There are growing concerns about cuts instudent loans and grants and tuition increases; about militarization ofcampuses; about New Right assaults on traditional academicfreedoms.WHY THE REACTIONARIES OF THE"NEW RIGHT" FEAR AND DISTRUSTACADEMIA| t is no coincidence that in Chile, in Central America, in the Philip¬pines, in South Africa — in almost every repressive and racist dictator¬ship in the world supported by the Reagan administration (and prais¬ed to the skies by Falwell and the New Right) universities nave beenstormed by the military, students and faculty have been beaten, im¬prisoned, Killed or "disappeared."

NoltThe media reminds Americans almost daily of the“snap” presidential elections to be held in the Phil¬ippines on February 7. This is not surprising. It isnews. Elections have become a rare event under thedictatorship of Philippine President FerdinandMarcos. He was elected, amid charges of extensivefraud and corruption, in 1965 and 1969. Marcosdeclared martial law in 1972 and has ruled by de¬cree ever since. This is the first significant presi¬dential electoral contest since.But the most striking and unprecedented facet ofPhilippine political life today is not the presidenti¬al elections. It is the rapid growth and unification df the mass movements in the country into a single after President Ronald Reagan was inaugurated incoalition dedicated to dismantling wh« at they call 1961, Vice President Ge orge Bush was sent to thethe ‘U.S.-Marcos dictatorship.” This 2.3 million* Philippines to reassure President Marcos of U.S.member coalition is called BAYAN. (8AYAN means support. Marcos had endured some criticism from“Nation” and is also an acronym for “New Patriotic former President Jtmmy Carter for his regime’sAlliance”.) Its story is generally being ignored In persistent human rights abuses, including wide-the U.S. press. Yet It Is arQuably the growth of spread imprisonment without trial, torture, rape,BAY AN and its constituent mass movements, and assassination. Bush toasted Marcos at a formalalong with the expansion ofthe New People's Army (NPA), thatthe U.S. and Marcos to decide thatfor elections.The Reagan administration Is athe need for elections in the dinner, saying, “We love your adherence to demo¬cratic principles.” This was a very generous compli¬ment for a regime which had jailed its opponents allacross the political spectrum, closed down all dis¬senting press, and suspended the legislature andelections.

I arrived- in Cebu, the Philippine’s secondlargest city, two days after an epic picket-line bat¬tle between TUCP and KMU-affiliated unions at theCebu Shipyards left two KMU workers dead andtwo wounded. About 620 of the 650 workers at theshipyard had quit the TUCP and joined KMU. Therump TUCP then declared a “strike”, not againstthe company, but against the KMU. The TUCP re¬fused to allow the KMU members to enter the ship¬yard until they signed up again with the TUCP. Toreinforce their puny picket line, the TUCP hired acouple dozen goons armed with M-16 automaticrifles and hand grenades. KMU protests to the localauthorities went unheeded. So about a thousandKMU members and BAYAN supporters decided tomarch on the armed picket lines. Intending a peace¬ful confrontation, the marchers were inspectedtwice by BAYAN organizers to be sure none carriedweapons. As they approached the picket line alonga narrow causeway surrounded by water, the pick¬ets opened fire. Several workers fell. The enragedcrowd surged forward, hurling stones at the pick¬ets. The goons threw a grenade, but it rolled backand wounded a picket. The armed pickets panickedand ran, but the marchers were stopped by thelocked gates of the shipyard. Finally the police andmilitary showed up to “restore order.” The KMUworkers remained locked out and the shipyard'washiring more docile replacements.Protesting sugar workers on Negros island weremet with even worse repression. Twenty-eightworkers and BAYAN supporters were murderedand scores wounded during a peaceful protest Sep¬tember 20. Several thousand were protesting themass starvation afflicting sugar workers and theirfamilies. Hundreds of thousands have been laid offbecause of the collapse of the sugar industry. Locallandlords resist demands to allow starvingworkers to plant food crops on the idle sugar land.The protesters were caught in a crossfire betweena machine gun firing from the roof of the Escalantemunicipal hall and militia firing automatic riflesfrom atop fire trucks. Nearly all were shot whilelying down or in the back while attempting to flee.After the massacre, the acting chief of staff of thePhilippine army, General Fidel Ramos, claimed thetroops acted in self defense.ng trip to the Philip-to those needs by liv->, slum dwellers, andof increasing poverty,iilitary repression.

The government recently declaredlarge areas of prime fishing in Manila Bay as a fishsanctuary, ostensibly for ecological reasons. Thepenalty for fishing in that area is up to six years injail and more than $500 fine (about one year's in¬come for the average fisher). But like ^o many pro¬hibitions in the Philippines, making it illegal simplymeans reserving it for the government. Fisherscomplain that the Philippine Coast Guard nowfishes in the sanctuary to make money for itself.They report that two fishers were killed recentlyby the Coast Guard when they strayed into the un¬marked sanctuary for a second time. To protest thisand other government abuses, the fishers through¬out the Manila Bay area are now united in a singleorganization that is a member of BAYAN.Fishers in Davao City (the country’s third largestcity, the largest on the southern island of Mindinao)hae similar problems with the military. The com¬plain that the troops have been illegally dynamite¬fishing: exploding dynamite underwater. All fishare killed and float to the top where they can becollected easily. Since fish of all ages are killed thisway, the fish population is soon depleted.Fishers troubles are not confined to the water.Like many poor Filipinos, rural and urban, fishers Ivisited in Davao have never had formal title to theland where they live. They are considered squat¬ters. If a powerful landlord or capitalist covets theplace “squatters” are living or farming, he oftencan bribe the local government or military officialsto attempt to evict them and claim the land himself,maybe with the help of a fraudulent title. Thisprocess of “land grabbing” has plagued poor peo¬ple throughout the country for decades. The fightagainst land grabbing is a principal concern of sev¬eral BAYAN-affiliated organizations.The women of a fishing village where I stayedtold of a 25-year struggle against land grabbing.(Many women are the elected leaders of fishing vil¬lages. The men are often at sea.) Over the yearshundreds of women have confronted survey teams,bulldozers, and demolition teams sent to destroytheir village. Once a crowd of women humiliated agroup of policemen guarding a survey team bythreatening to pull their pants off. The police ranaway.The village has much to defend. Collectively vil¬lagers have built a dike to hold back the sea, a pub¬lic bath and water works, a salt works, and a clinic.The clinic is part of a growing nationwide networkof primary health facilities. Self-reliant, they growtheir own medicinal herbs and are staffed by com¬munity health volunteers. The volunteers aretrained by health professionals affiliated withBAYAN. The importance of having accessiblehealth care was underscored by the story of oneyoung mother in the village. Her husband was re¬cently beheaded by a government military patrolwhen he went out at night to find a midwife to helpher give birth. The troops assumed he was a guer¬rilla.Terror of that kind is a constant concern of manypoor people, but they are no longer intimidated,especially the organized ones. I stayed withworkers on a large banana plantation in Davao who are now unionized. When they first began toorganize, the plantation owner hired fifty armedmen to harass and assassinate the leaders. Afterthree were killed, the workers struck and wonunion recognition and the removal of the goons.Later an armed band of 200 Moro “surrenderees”(former Moslem separatist guerrillas who havecome over to the government side) showed up andbegan killing, raping, and torturing union activistsand their families. They even killed the electedbarangay captain (village mayor), Alex Orcullo, apopular journalist, organizer, economist, and chair¬man of the Coalition for the Realization of Democ¬racy (CORD) in Davao. The workers decided on amass protest. The 700 workers and their families,over 2,000 in all, marched to the Davao CitySquare and began camping in front of the city hall.They demanded that the government disarm thesenew terrorists. Instead the government merely su¬perimposed a second occupying force, a PhilippineMarine detachment. The Marines have not stoppedthe killing. The pro-Marcos paramilitary force mur¬dered five more on the plantation in the first eightmonths of 1985 including a woman raped and mu¬tilated. The force maintains itself by robbery. Pro¬tests also continue.Paramilitary death squads like those common inCentral America are also spreading in the Philip¬pines. I participated in a human rights fact-findingmission to Bohol Province, an island in the Visayas,which uncovered links between the governmentand right-wing terrorists there. We interviewed apoliceman in the town of Valencia who admittedbeing a member of a quasi-religious anti-Commu-nist cult group called “Sacredo Corazon Senior”(SCS). The group was founded in Mindinao where itwas popularly known as “Tad Tad”, which means“chop chop” because the trademark of the group isdismembering its victims with two-foot-long com¬bat bolos (a kind of sword).The policeman arrived for the interview in com¬bat fatigues with an M-16 resting on his hip. Justtwelve days earlier he had killed the local leaderof a BAYAN-affiliated peasant organization. Thepolice report claimed the man was armed and waskilled in a shootout. Yet the shooting took place ona lonely stretch of road on the way from the pea¬sant’s house to the local clinic to sign some insur¬ance papers to get his wife released. A witness sawthe policeman and two armed civilians sneakingaround in the area of the killing just before it hap¬pened. A deserter from the SCS (distinctive scarsfrom the group’s ritualistic intiation rites provedhe had been a member) said the policeman hadthreatened to “get” the peasant leader in a secretmeeting of the group the night before. When askedto tell his side of the story the policeman said mere¬ly, “It is very hard for me to remember.” He wasproud of the SCS, however, and named severallocal military officers who were members. He alsosaid that the entire group was being integratedinto the government-controlled militia, the Inte¬grated Civilian Home Defense Force.Throughout the Philippines peasants are organiz¬ing. Most of them are tenants. Although they pro¬vide their own means of production, usually awater buffalo, a plow, and simple hand tools, theymust give a large portion of their crop to the land¬lord, often 70 percent. Lowering these exploitativerents is the peasants’ chief demand. But this de¬mand is directly contrary to the interests of thelandlords, who are almost invariably the local po¬litical bosses as well. Repression against peasantdemands is probably more severe than any other.Local landlords often hire private armies or paylocal police or military to do their dirty work. It isthis context of repression and corruption thatmakes most elections in rural Philippines a bloodyfarce.Today the peasants are increasingly cooperatingwith the NPA guerrillas because they can protectpeasants from landlord terror. Because of this thepeasants often say “NPA” means “nice peoplearound.” The peasants reciprocate by reporting tothe NPA any movements by the Marcos military. Imyself witnessed the result of this: NPA guerrillasare now living unafraid in towns that also have mil¬itary garrisons. They can depend on the vigilenceof local peasants. Likewise, the NPA presenceshields the peasant organization. It has been sosuccessful that rents have been entirely eliminatedin some areas. One peasant told me proudly, “Nowsome of the landlords are poorer than us!” Thelandlords are not used to having to work for a liv¬ing.Millions of Filipinos have scarcely any access toemployment. Since there is no unemployment insur¬ance, few are totally unemployed in the sensemany are here. Rather, they try to subsist throughstreet vending or whatever odd jobs they can find.One community of 2,000 people lives on a mountainof garbage in the Tondo district of Manila. Manyformerly had steady jobs, but were laid off. Nowthey scavange in the garbage for items they mightuse or sell. The community is called “Smokey Moun¬tain” because portions of the garbage are usuallyburning. Here, too, BAYAN organizations of theurban poor and unemployed youth are active andgrowing.Economic calamity also leads many young womento prostitution. A researcher from Gabriella, a na¬tional coalition of women’s organizations and amember of BAYAN, told me they estimate thereare now about 500,000 prostitutes in the countryout of a population of 55 million. Although prostitu¬tion and public nudity are illegal, both are ubiqui¬ tous. In fact, prostitutes are licensed under euphe¬mistic titles like “models” (strippers), “dancers”,“entertainers”, and massage parlor “attendants”.Advertisements for these professions constitutethe majority of Want Ads for women now in themajor pro-Marcos newspapers. Mrs. Marcos refersto them as “hospitality girls.” The Ministry ofTourism has a program to teach them good groom¬ing and entertainment tips for pleasing the flocksof foreign businessmen and U.S. soldiers who areregular customers. Nearly every disco (and thereare many hundreds in Manila alone), most bars,many restaurants, and even “health spas” have somany prostitutes that they typically outnumber thecustomers.Few prostitutes make much money themselves.There are so many that the competition for custom¬ers is keen. All whom I interviewed work sevennights a week, even when sick. And most of themoney the customers pay goes to the owner of thebusiness establishment where they work. Theowner can then pay off the police and governmentregulators so his lucrative “illegal” business cancontinue without the slightest need for concealmentor surreptitiousness. Many of these women arealso regularly cheated, robbed, beaten by custom¬ers, or raped by owners, managers, or policemen.They must submit or lose their jobs. Many have chil¬dren to support, perhaps having been abandonedby a husband or lover. One said, “I live only for thelove of my children.” Watching rock videos in a clubwith another, she said that she and the other pros¬titutes there were saving their money to go to aBruce Springsteen concert in Manila. Madonnacame on the screen. “We hate her,” the prostitutecommented, “She reminds us too much of our¬selves.”But it was not these growing problems of thepoor which undermined the Reagan administra¬tion’s confidence in Marcos’s ability to govern.What shook Washington was the assassination ofliberal opposition leader Benigno Aquino in Oc¬tober 1983 and the resulting loss of confidence bythe wealthy business elite. Since then the Philip¬pine economy has gone from bad to worse. Capitalflight and disinvestment are massive. Unemploy¬ment is skyrocketing and wage declines accelerat¬ing. The continuing rapid growth of a revolutionarychallenge from the mass organizations and guerril¬la rebels are now too dangerous for Washington todiscount.Reagan’s response is the familiar two-track poli¬cy also being pursued in El Salvador: elections forlegitimacy and increased military aid for counterin¬surgency. But the elections will not stem populardiscontent. Marcos has controlled army and gov¬ernment appointments for twenty years. His politi¬cal machine is well-entrenched, especially in ruralareas. The forty election watchers the U.S. nowproposes to send may whitewash the election, butthey can hardly monitor fraud at 69,000 pollingplaces. The opposition will certainly charge wide¬spread fraud, but they can appeal only to theMarcos-appointed Commission on Elections. Theycannot prevent fraud because in many areas, os¬tensibly because of the guerrilla "threat” (the NPAhas said it will not attempt to disrupt voting), thepro-Marcos army will guard and transport ballotboxes, giving ample opportunities to stuff them.Whoever wins the vote, Marcos is likely to win thecount.Even if opposition candidate Cory Aquino some¬how wins, unless she undertakes major reforms,popular discontent will continue to rise. And if sheattempts reform, she may find it impossible to gov¬ern with opposition from the military and en¬trenched interests.Reagan administration spokesperson MichaelArmacost, former ambassador to the Philippines,said January 19 on a television talk show, “It is im¬portant that somebody have a popular mandatethat is perceived to have been derived from elec¬tions.” The key word here is “perceived.” Reaganmay even help Marcos legitimate a fraud. As ex¬plained in a secret National Security Study Direc¬tive leaked to the Washington Post last winter,“Marcos is part of the problem, but he is also partof the solution.” Marcos is valued for his loyal po¬litical machine and grip on the military. He repre¬sents a stability of sorts. An Aquino regime mightprovoke violent infighting among the elite, as in¬deed Marcos himself ominously warns. The elec¬tions may gain Marcos little legitimacy in the Phil¬ippines, but they might help Reagan get furtherincreases in U.S. military aid to the Philippinesthrough Congress.The target of the counterinsurgency will not beconfined to the armed NPA rebels. Most of the vic¬tims will continue to be peasants, fishers, workers,and other poor people protesting repression andorganizing to resist the slide into ever-deeper po¬verty. This is inevitable given the influence of eco¬nomic interests — landlords and business — in thecontinued corruption of the military. No half-heart¬ed reform decreed in Washington or Manila willchange that reality. Only the mass organizations ofthe Philippine people themselves are capable ofchallenging the corrupt structures of power inevery corner in the Philippines. And it is these veryforces of democratic reform that the U.S.-fundedcounterinsurgency tries to exterminate.

"Design” may indi¬cate the shaping of a thing in accordancewith a predetermined purpose (like thecognate dessein), or it may indicate mere¬ly stylistic attention to the externalaspect of a thing (like the Fr. dessin). If“Project 1984” was a serious attempt atthe first sort of design, the recently re¬leased “Report on the Size and Composi¬tion of the University of Chicago" is an ex¬ample of the second. Although thepotential consequences of its recommenda¬tions on the College are great, the methodemployed by the committee chaired byProfessor Greenstone raises a far moreserious issue, one which ought to be of con¬cern to the entire University. If design orre-design of the University of Chicago canbe undertaken without a rigorous attemptto define the end toward which the pro¬posed changes aim, then intentionality hasno honest place in our portrait of our¬selves as a community. Indeed, it is a ques¬tion whether the University, shaped in thismanner, can honestly call itself a communi¬ty at all.Although the report of the GreenstoneCommittee should be examined in its en¬tirety, the necessity of such an examina¬tion may become clear from a glance attwo small sections of the text. The follow¬ing seven quotations constitute the firstparagraph of the section of the Report en¬titled “The Size of the College.”The University is justly proud of itsCollege.This means that what the College is andwhat the College ought to be are more sim¬ilar than dissimilar. Perhaps in what fol¬lows we will learn what it is that the Col¬lege ought to be.It has a nationally respected tradi¬tion of general education and manyexcellent concentration programs.So the Core still looks good to everyone onthe other side of the cloistered walls.Both the morale and quality of ourstudents are quite high...How high is “quite high?” Strictly, “quite”means “entirely” or “completely,” andthe notion of completely high qualityseems to require an absolute, rather thana relative, definition of the excellence ofstudents. It’s difficult to see, however,how the notion of student excellence willsurvive economic speculation about suchchimeras as a “satisfied undergraduatestudent body” (page 5, colume 1). particularly when the faculty’s dis¬tinction in teaching and research at¬tracts many of our ablest Collegestudents.Why “Still?” Having just asserted that theCollege is excellent, that others think thatit’s excellent, that it’s becoming betterand that increasing the size of the studentbody has contributed to making the Col¬lege better, why does the GreenstoneCommittee preface its recommendation tofurther increase the size of the studentbody with “Still...” instead of with“Therefore...”?“Still...” only makes sense if past in¬creases were not entirely to the good. Butof course they weren’t. We all know thatthere are powerful arguments against in¬creasing the size of the student body andagainst increasing the student:facultyratio. But if there are arguments against aproposal, then a reasonable discussion ordecision requires the presentation of theweaknesses as well as the strengths of theproposal, and it is necessary as well to dis¬cuss, or at least present, the standard bywhich opposing arguments are to beweighed. Where, for instance, is theGreenstone Committee’s discussion of theeffect of increasing the number of under¬graduates on the size and composition ofclasses in the College? The possibility isnoted in passing (page 5, column 4), butonly because the committee was concernedthat an increase in the size of Collegeclasses might reduce the attractiveness ofthe College to prospective students andthus might reduce the chances of maintain¬ing or further increasing the larger stu¬dent body. Circles. We learn that increas¬ing the student body may hinderincreasing the student body, but nowheredo we learn what the effects will be of alarger student body, a larger student:fac-ulty ratio and possibly larger classes onthe education of those students whom theCollege succeeds in attracting. There is aname for discussions of policy that ignoreor obscure counterarguments and the ne¬cessity of evaluative principles. The nameis propaganda.Clearly, increases must be deter¬mined by our capacity to offer allour undergraduates a first-rate edu¬cation. jThis is a fine sentiment. Unfortunately, itwas not carried over into the “Summaryof Recommendations.” There, the principlewhich determines whether or not increasesshould be undertaken is somewhat lessnoble. Not that it would have made muchof a difference. Left undefined, the preser¬vation of a “first-rate education” can beused to justify almost any course of actionat all. The first three sentences clarify some ofwhat is mysterious in the rest cf the Re¬port. They do not tell us what the Green¬stone Committee believes the characteris¬tics of a first-rate education to be, but thebeginning of the Report does explain whythe committee is so stingy in its descrip¬tion.Since its founding, The University ofChicago has prided itself on a dis¬tinctive commitment to intellectualexcellence. The recognition accordedit as an international center oflearning and research can be largelyattributed to its consistent, unwa¬vering pursuit of that standard. Likeprevious committees that have con¬sidered issues of size and composi¬tion since the early 1970s, we takethat shared value and commitmentas axiomatic.What do these sentences mean? The Com¬mittee takes intellectual excellence andthe University’s commitment to intellectu¬al excellence as axiomatic. “Axiomatic”implies either the quality of being self-evi¬dent or establishment by universal con¬sent. If the nature of intellectual excel¬lence is self-evident to the fourteenmembers of the Greenstone Committee,why didn’t they devote a few sentences oftheir report to explaining it to the rest ofus? If it has been established by universalconsent, then why can’t the people I knowwho think about such things ever agreewhat virtue of the mind is or whether itexists at all?In the context of a faculty report whichrecommends changing the structure of theUniversity, the assertion that our commit¬ment to intellectual excellence is self-evi¬dent may be merely a bit of self-congra¬tulation — imprudent, but not necessarilyharmful. But the assertion that intellectu¬al excellence itself is self-evident or theassertion that its nature or its value havebeen established by universal consent —any of these is much more than a harmlessoversight.Undefined as the idea is in their report,intellectual excellence cannot be the aimwhich guides the design of the GreenstoneCommittee. But my initial assertion thatthe Report is an example of aimless de¬sign misses the point. The point is that thepurpose of the project is so simple andself-evident that the Committee didn'tneed to set it forth as such. Compare thecondition placed on increasing the numberof undergraduates in the section “The Sizeof the College” to that which appears inthe summary of recommendations which ends the Report:If the budgetary situation requiresit, the College should be graduallyincreased to about 3,400 students(apart from the addition of morecommuters). But this goal is defens¬ible only if there is no increase in thepresent size of the faculty thatwould undo the budgetary gainsfrom an increased student body, (p8, column 2)Clearly, increases (in the number ofundergraduates) must be deter¬mined by our capacity to offer allour undergraduates a first-rate edu¬cation. (p 4, column 4)What is the end which the second quota¬tion deary implies? Although the increaseitself is referred to as a “goal,” the in¬crease stands in relation to the conditionswhich determine its value as does a meansto its end: the occasion of the Committee’sdeliberations is economic necessity, andthe purpose of the proposal is "budgetarygains.”Thus what is really troubling about thereport of the Greenstone Committee is acomplete lack of consonance both betweenthe nature of the project and those select¬ed to carry it out and between the projectand the rhetoric used to describe it. If thebottom line of the University is in fact afigure in its ledger books, then there is noreason to ask faculty committees to par¬ticipate in the design of the University.There are plenty of technicians trained toemploy money as their sole evaluativeprinciple. Let them call the shots without acloak of intellectual idealism. The resultmight not look much like the Academy, butat least those who think about the aims ofeducation would know to keep theirthoughts to themselves.But if the talk about commitment and in¬tellectual excellence is more than emptyrhetoric, then faculty ought not to beasked — neither ought they to be willing— either to compose academic rationalesfor economic decisions or to be content tomake do with whatever the bottom-lineboys lay down: insofar as the faculty takethe form of the University as their concern,their contribution must be dessein, notdessin. If the University does indeed aimat something greater than its own preser¬vation, then for it there can be no essen¬tially economic decisions.The University's legacy of intellectualidealism may be the germ of a profoundintellectual weakness. We may come to be¬lieve that the words, defined once, nolonger need to be looked up and that a vi¬sion, once articulated, need no longer beseen.LECTURE SERIES TO END ALL...and the College administration iscontinuing a vigorous program ofcurricular and administrative re¬form.Although the College is already good, it’sbeing made better. What’s better? What’sthe aim of this reform? You will have tolook very hard to discover it in any of thedescriptions of proposed curricular re¬forms which we have seen in the last year.The big theme is coherence, but into whatdo the parts cohere? The Maroon (11/5/85)quoted Dean Levine: “I’m very pleasedthat the faculty has taken such a seriouslook at the curriculum. The new core willhelp us make sense to our students, toprospective students and to our facultyabout what our baccalaureate program isall about.” If the virtue of the proposedchanges is that they make the argument ofthe curriculum manifest, then why is theargument so difficult to find?Moreover, the College’s recentgrowth from about 2,300 in 1969-70to just under 3,000 has improvedthe quality of undergraduate life byproviding a larger number of partic¬ipants in student activities as di¬verse as musical performances, stu¬dent theater, and varsity athletics.Finally we begin to learn the meaning ofwords like “excellent” and “quality”when they are used to describe the Col¬lege. What sorts of things make the Col¬lege better? Greater participation inextra-curricular activities. Do themembers of the Greenstone Committee ac¬tually believe that this is significant? Isthis the University of Chicago?Still, if we must change the faculty:student ratio in the arts andsciences, we prefer increasing thenumber of students to furtheracross-the-board cuts in the faculty. by Wayne ScottIt’s difficult to imagine Sam Portaro (theReverend Sam Portaro) conceiving ofsomething as grim-sounding as “The LastLecture Series.” In his office, on the secondfloor of Brent House, the campus EpiscopalChurch, he sits surrounded by pictures ofrenowned religious figures, cartoonistGary Trudeau, and framed clippings fromKudzu and Peanuts comic strips. Indeed,the fact that he puts Linus Van Pelt on thesame wall with John Paul II and the Archi-bishop of Canterbury indicates the methodof Portaro’s approach to his communityand this special offering, “The Last Lec¬ture Series.”“It’s a good time to think about ultimatethings. And it’s a good time for somelaughter,” he tells me. “Each of the speak¬ers brings a unique experience and per¬spective” to the series, in which they areasked to reflect on the “last things” theymight impart to a generation of their ownmortality. He concedes that such a task ismore difficult than it sounds: “It demandsa kind of focus that does not come easily tous.” The idea of “The Last Lecture Series”has been around for awhile, sponsored onmany different college campuses. But Por¬taro has approached the format with inge¬nuity, inviting distinguished and creativescholars, such as Mortimer Adler andWendy O’Flaherty, the noted theologianJoseph Sittler and, most ingenious of all,Chicago talk-show host Oprah Winfrey,who recently appeared in Steven Speil-berg’s film of Alice Walker’s novel, TheColor Purple.The question on everyone's mind is: WhyOprah?Portraro answers “Why not?” Impressedby her portrayal of the strong-minded So¬phia in The Color Purple and the success ofher morning talk show (opposite, andoverwhelming. Phil Donahue), he invitedher to represent interests outside the con¬fines of academia. Born in Kosciusko, Mis¬sissippi and raided in Milwaukee Winfroy attended the University of Tennessee inspeach and drama, going on to become“the first female and the first black oncamera in Nashville” (Republic, January1986). She is a dynamic presence, notedfor her “spunk” and “just one-of-the-galscharm” (ibid.) Says Portaro, “Right now alot of people are talking about her, but I’mnot at all sure that many are listening toher, learning from her experiences.”Wendy O’Flaherty is a natural transitionfigure between the glamor of stardom andthe rigors of scholarly life. Portaro ex¬claims, “What can you say about a womanwho studied dance with George Balachineand Martha Graham before completingdoctorates in Sanskrit and Indian Studiesfrom Harvard and Oxford?” Most stu¬dents are familiar with O’Flaherty’scourse on The Odyssey and her course on,and translation of, the Bhagavad Gita.Freshmen will remember the “Aims of Edu¬cation" address she delivered last fall.Portaro hopes the “subtle difference”that she brings to this institution was re¬cognized then.Students whio are not familiar withMortimer Alder should be aware thattheir whole academic experience here hasbeen shaped by his educational ideals. Itis Mortimer Adler who, in 1930, arrivedat the U of C at the invitation of RobertHutchins and helped develop the Great Books program that evolved into the Com¬mon Core. His philosophy of education un¬derlies the University’s prejudice againstmore specialized, vocational training forundergraduates. Today, Adler is 83 yearsold and chairs the board of editors of En¬cyclopaedia Brittanica. He is also directorof the Institute for Philosophical Researchin Chicago. His last book, Ten PhilosophicalMistakes, according to Portaro, “ad¬dresses the ‘errors’ of philosophy thathave shaped much of our present life.”A theologian in the Lutheran Church, Jo¬seph Sittler possesses a similarly compel¬ling, yet unique breadth of knowledge andexperience. “While some scholars are sopreoccupied by their work that they earnthe label absent minded,’ Joe is one ofthose scholars who is always ‘presentminded,’ ” says Portaro. “He has had alifetime of study of the human race andanyone who knows him knows the incredi¬ble depth of his insights into who we areand what we are about. And most blessedof all is the fact that he has never lost hissense of humor.” At 81 years old, Sittlerhas been a Professor of Theology for fortyyears and guest Chapel Preacher on overtwenty college campuses.Portaro expects “The Last LectureSeries” to become an annual event and so¬licits students' responses and suggestionsfor next year’s speakers.DO YOU THINK WE’RE DOING THIS FOR OUROF COURSE ANYBODY CAN5336 GREENWOOD IB SUNDAY HEALTH?- COME!NOONAr A* A* A* A* A*GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1986—9bv Mike KotzeTerry Gilliam has seen the future, andcording to mm, it doesn t work, as it this issome big surprise—c’mon Terry, the futurehasn’t worked for years! But according toGilliam’s new film Brazil, this is Big News,interesting, or enlightening to say, whichwouldn’t be such a problem if Brazil wascontent to keep its mouth shut. No suchluck— Brazil insists on screaming at youfor over two hours, which is great if you’relooking for a headache, but why pay sixdollars for a headache when you can getone that’s probably just as good at homefor free?Brazil is set in some imaginary future(past? present?) totalitarian state, andconcerns the horrifying misadventures ofa low-level bureaucrat (Jonathan Pryce),who runs afoul of the soul-crushing work¬ings of the regime. I think this is all sup¬posed to be satiric, but if Brazil is satire, itis the most craven, ineffectual satire imag¬inable: yes, Terry Gilliam somehow findsthe courage to tell us that, yes, Fascism isBad—this kind of thing might be useful ifyou've been unconscious for the past sev¬eral decades and need to catch up with theBig News, but otherwise, it’s one morecase of “So-what-else-is-new-Terry?. Thefilm’s idea of satire is to drive banalitieslike this into our heads with a jackham¬mer—Gilliams’ targets are too wildlyoverstated and grotesque that Brazil be¬comes a freak show, and not a satire.There is no chance of an audience recogniz¬ing something of itself in the evils catalo¬gued by Brazil: Gilliam blows everythingup (often literally) to such a degree thatyou don’t think totalitarianism, you gawkat it, like a Macy's Thanksgiving DayParade balloon of Absolute Evil.Another reason Brazil’s satire has nosting is the film’s near-total lack of human¬ity—there are characters, who movearound and talk and everything, but, butsince no real clues are given as to whythey behave the way they do, it’s hard togive a damn about them. The perfor¬mances are, however, consistently good,with Pryce the model of pasty-faced virtu¬osity, but all to no avail—virtuoso nothingis still nothing. We know these people aresupposed to be cogs in a faceless bureau¬cratic machine, but when Gilliam treatsthem that way too, it’s pretty hard to stayinterested.Gilliam replaces human involvementwith a lot of highly visceral, audiencegrabbing effects, and it is here that this fast, loud and shiny film is on its strongestfooting. If you can’t get involved with thepeople r Brazil, it is easy to becomefascinated with the machines and thebuildings. Purely visually, this is a verystriking film—each scene is crammed withdetails one would like to linger over, buthow much of an asset is this when you misslong stretches of dialogue because the fur¬niture is more interesting? But then, oneman’s cluttered is another man’s Baroque,and Gilliam is clearly going for Baroque,probably in an attempt to give his film theillusion of greater depth and complexitythan it really has. But it doesn’t work, be¬cause filling the screen with tons of eye-by Rob PressThe year is 1900; the setting is somegreat state in the South. The event: Uni¬versity Players’ first production, LillianHeilman’s The Little Foxes, directed byGail Martin. As David Robeson’s decayingset suggests, this is a play about decayingmorals; some serious backstabbing isabout to take place. And the cast rises tothe occassion; perhaps the best aspect ofthis well-done presentation is the ensem¬ble effort, portraying various powerplays among the family members. I, forone, and glad that I’m not part of Thatfamily.First, however, a scorecard. Regina, Benand Oscar are siblings in an old-time, yetformerly blue-collar southern aristocracy.They need money to erect a new cottonmill which will supposedly make them mi-lions. Ben and Oscar have their money, butRegina needs to get her share from herwealthy-but-almost-dying-f rom-heart-failure husband, Horace, who is currentlyin the hospital. Regina calls Horace backsimply to convince him to give Ben andOscar the money. The backstabbing contin¬ues while Oscar’s son, Leo, is directed to“temporarily borrow” some of Horace’sbonds from the bank as collateral. I betterstop here.As I said, the fine handling of the powerplays is fun to watch and makes up for any catching machinery just can’t hide the ba¬nality and repetitiveness of the film’sideas.Brazil emerges as a distinctly minorfilm, sunk by its many flaws. If it finds anenthusiastic audience, as it seems to bedoing, it is because it truly does addressthe Zeitgeist: Living in a nation led by Ron¬ald Reagan, whose policies can often seemmalicious and laughable (they would belaughable if it weren’t for their terribleconsequences), we are no strangers to theabsurdity and powerlessness expressedin Brazil. But the movie takes the easiestway out, positing the most morbid liberalfantasy imaginable: a totalitarian regimeagainst which it is utterly impossible andfutile to fight. In the world of Brazil, inac¬tion and withdrawal are valid responsesto injustice, and action is nothing morethan fruitless gesture; the movie is astrangely comforting doom trip. Gilliam’ssatire does not center on the real humanissues at hand in such a situation, such asinconsistencies in the characters. Particu¬lar performances, however, were out¬standing. Tom Derdak, as Horace, shows adepth of character far beyond anyone elsein the cast, to the point of making every¬one else look shallow. He is helped, I hear,by currently having a 103 degree temper¬ature, but I think he is a great with orwithout a stuffy nose. The Ice Queenaward goes to Regina, played by LeAnnMorgan. She’s smooth; she’s scheming,and she barely needed to raise her voice.LeAnn had total control in her character,down to the minutest reaction to everyoneelse’s lines. And when Regina and Horacefight, watch closely. It is truly the bestscene in the play. Did Regina want to driveher own husband to death to get hismoney, or did he die just to stab her in theback for the last time, or just for a joke onher? They brought out the most in thescene. Also of great merit was Greg Kotisas Oscar’s sniveling son Leo. He turned atruly one-dimensional part into a real per¬son who you have every reason to de¬spise.Other performances were inconsistent.Most notably, Tom Mulhern as the conniv¬ing Ben ranged from too old to too slickand slimy, to too mean; but eventuallyfound a very believable middle ground.Similarly, Alex Kolker as the wimpy yetdictatorial Oscar needed to be a bit firmerto suggest the mean side of his character(it worked when he lowered his voice) yet the seductiveness of power, and the crav¬ing for security that would cause one togive up rights in exchange for protection;issues like these might disturb and pro¬voke an audience. Instead Gilliam’s bloat¬ed grotesqueries are paraded before uslike sitting ducks, figures for our derision.Gilliams satire smirks in a superior man¬ner at these absurdities, and encouragesits audience to feel very smart and superi¬or to be in on the game; it seeks to lull usinto believing we are above all this petti¬ness and brutality— that is the power ofBrazil, an escapist fantasy for hip, cynicalmoviegoers who wouldn’t be caught deadat a Spielberg film, at least without pa¬tronizing smiles on their faces. Brazil isn’tswift, it isn’t even Joe Orton—it’s E.T. forcynical intellectuals. Wake up and smellthe coffee; Brazil is a film with no respectfor humanity, for hope, for anythingbeyond the accomplishments of its ma¬chinery. And that, folks, is totalitariani-played his weakness in trapped situationsvery well. Theresa Neurr and JennyBacon, as Birdie and Alexandra, tended tolook the same but otherwise were verygood.My main gripe, surprisingly, was withthe scope of the play. The maids in theplay were written as stereotypic con¬cerned Black houseservants. Now whilethe actors here did their best, it was veryjarring to see one thing and hear theother. The southern accents were quitebad, almost to the point where I could notunderstand whole sentences. Lillian Hell-man herself commented in the closing linesof the play and elsewhere that althoughthis play was set in the South, the themescontained therein were not just southern,but universal. There are plenty otherBens, Reginas and Oscars in New York, Ca¬lifornia and Montana. As Director Martinwas evidently concerned with portrayingthe effects of backstabbing, I think shecould have been a whole lot less concernedwith accurary in setting. The play comesoff at times as a typical Yankee stereo¬type of Southern life. I think that MissHeilman would have agreed that the char¬acter interactions are most important; ifthe elements of the setting were unavail¬able, then they should have been de-emphasized. It detracts from the whole.All in all, however, a very admirable firstproduction from UP, and I hope there aremore to come.sm.ROCKIN' llUl I f I- 0XESBLACK HISTORY ON FILM A A A A A A A A A A ACompiled by Bob TravisThe following are reviews of interna¬tional films on or by Blacks that will beshown this February for Black HistoryMonth.The Great White Hope (Martin Ritt, 1970)Following the tumultuous career of JackJohnson, the first Black heavweight cham¬pion of the world, The Great White Hope isin essence a character study, which pene¬trates the emotional territory that sepa¬rates Black from white Americans.

Not even Nettie (Akosua Busia) canshake Celie’s apathetic acceptance: “Idon’t know how to fight—all I know how todo is stay alive.” Years Later, Shug (Mar¬garet Avery), a blues singer, befriendsCelie and encourages her to resist. Spiel¬berg, however, undercuts Shug’s signifi¬cance to the point where her entrance ap¬pears as a wish fulfillment. Anotheroddity is Spielberg’s reduction of racialoppression to the level of a metaphor (inthe presence of the mayor’s wife), giving acursory brush stroke to so much of Blackconsciousness. Despite these drawbacks,The Color Purple contains some notabletouches, such as: the visual simile betweenMister and the hooves of his mount just ashe tries to rape Nettie; the introduction ofMister through a frosted window thatserves as a vignette; and the notice ofShug’s arrival coming with a handbill onthe reckless wind.
