O’Connell is currently re¬viewing a proposal submitted bythe Student Government for thebiennial LCB. Rejection of thisproposal could mean that the ballwould not take place this year.According to Bill McDade, stu¬dent government treasurer, if ap¬proved, will not show pornogra¬phic films and will reduce theemphasis on nudity prevalent inprevious LCBs. No area of theball will require nudity, since thepool in Ida Noyes is closed forrenovation and will not be avail¬able for skinny-dipping. “Wewant to make it a fun time with¬out offending anyone,” he stat¬ed.McDade also said that the pro¬posal will require all students towear costumes. SG will providethe costumes, and a place tochange for those who show up ei¬ther fully-clothed or completelynaked.He explained that this is to pro¬vide voyeurism and eliminate total nudity. It is unclear whetheror not students will be preventedfrom disrobing once they are in¬side Ida Noyes.The plan also provides for ex¬tensive safety measures, includ¬ing a medical facility in the base¬ment staffed by medical schoolfaculty and senior medical stu¬dents. SG will discourage drink¬ing in its advertising before theball. Intoxicated students will beturned away at the door. Thesemeasures are apparently in re¬sponse to injuries and damagewhich occurred at the last LCB.“We’re stressing the safetyaspect of the ball,” McDade re¬marked.The ball will emphasize partici¬pation in small events scatteredthroughout Ida Noyes. Some ofthese are: twister games, rentedhot tubs, non-pornographicvideos, volleyball, erotic baking,and a lingerie fashion show.SG plans to deny the ball’s exis¬tence to media outside of the Uni¬versity to eliminate news reportson the event, which could be da¬maging to the University.Race tensions flareBy Susan CalhounPhiladelphia, Pa. (CPS) —When University of Pennsylvaniastudents returned to campus afew weeks ago, Legal StudiesLecturer Murray Dolfman wasn’tthere.No one knows why Dolfman,whose presence has exacerbatedracial tensions on the campussince he allegedly referred toblack students as ex-slaves andmade other questionable re¬marks in his class in 1984, didn’tshow.But even in his absence, stu¬dents report “a huge amount ofracial tension, a real lack of faithin the administration,” and afeeling that “the administrationwill react to a crisis, but theywon’t prevent one.”Penn isn’t alone.Minority students on a startlingnumber of campuses have com¬plained, almost in unison, of esca¬lating racial tensions in the lastthree months.And in almost all cases, theyclaim administrators are lesssensitive to their feelings of isola¬tion.Observers think it’s becausethe Reagan administration nolonger forces large institutions topush to hire and recruit minori¬ties, or to continue to integratetheir campuses actively.“People at schools who thoughtaffirmative action was a nui¬sance use Reagan’s lead to sup¬port them in not doing anything,”says Robert Ethridge, affirma¬tive action officer at Emory Uni¬versity in Atlanta and presidentof the American Association ofAffirmative Action Administra¬tors.“And the president sets thetone on campus. Why shouldlower-level administrators careif he doesn’t?” Ethridge asks.Ethridge reports “more thanjust a few incidents” of collegepresidents demoting affirmativeaction officers.For example, officers who oncereported directly to the campuspresident now find their desksmoved to more remote offices,and their once-direct lines to the president are now intercepted bytwo or three medium-level ad¬ministrators.“All of this indicates to thecampus that the affirmative ac¬tion officer no longer has clout,that black concerns are no longerimportant,” Ethridge says.“It means you don’t have theinfluence you once had, so lowerlevel administrators say, ‘wedon’t have to try, either.’ ”Administrators still haven’t re¬sponded, for instance, to Univer¬sity of Alabama student VicePresident John Merrill’s disturb¬ing survey finding showing UAstudents still have “real racistfeelings.”“They’ll listen to it, but won’tact on it until the turn of the cen¬tury,” Merrill says.“The administration won’t doanything against alums, anyway,and it’d be fine with them ifblacks didn’t even go to schoolhere,” Merrill adds.Frustrations with perceivedadministrative footdragging arenear the boiling point at Texas,too, reports UT Black Student Al¬liance President Kevin Wil¬liams.Black students, only three per¬cent of the Austin campus’ enroll¬ment, daily feel isolated, Wil¬liams says, as they walk by “fouror five buildings named afterKKK members, a statue of Jef¬ferson Davis, and another build¬ing named after a former UTpresident who said he’d neveradmit a black to this school.”Less ephemerally, black stu¬dents were angered by two recentcases of “very well-known racialdiscrimination,” by the UT po¬lice.But the police refused four offive times to meet with the BSA todiscuss the incidents, and, whenthe BSA appealed to it for help,the administration “didn’t re¬spond.”Now black students, also upsetby a silent administrative re¬sponse to a minority recruitmentproposal, are “either leaving orgetting fed up,” UT counselorsreport. Christine DyrudLocal hospital charged in $11 million suitLucille and Raymond Williams filed an $11 million lawsuit Tuesday against Chicago Osteo¬pathic Medical Center, 5200 S. Ellis Ave. The suit alleges that hospital doctors falsely informedthe Williams that their daughter had been stillborn, and then denied her medical care for almost12 hours until she finally died. Hospital lawyer Brian Fetzer contests the charges, calling them“sensational allegations.”takes Harvard offerSkocpolBy Justine KalasContributing WriterTheda Skocpol, former U of Cassociate professor of Sociology,will begin working at HarvardJuly 1st after accepting HarvardPresident Derek C. Bok’s tenureoffer of January 1985.In 1981, Skocpol won theprocess of a sex discriminationgrievance which she filed whenshe was denied tenure in 1980.Skocpol said her decision to leavethe University of Chicago was dif¬ficult, but felt “things would workout” at Harvard and that being inCambridge would permit her tolive in the same region of thecountry as her husband.Theda SkocpolHarvard denied Skocpol tenurein 1980, when she was an asso¬ciate professor of Sociology. Shebecame the first person ever atHarvard to file a sex discrimina¬tion grievance after she was de¬nied tenure. Skocpol said, “Ididn’t think I’d win, I just thoughtthere should be a review.” By fil¬ing the grievance, Skocpol saidshe “hadn’t asked for tenure. Ijust asked for fair considera¬ tion.”In 1981, after Skocpol won thegrievance process, Bok approveda special committee to investi¬gate Harvard’s all-male perma¬nent sociology department whichhad initially refused to give Skoc¬pol tenure. When the committeefound that the department hadnot “considered seriously anywoman for the tenure appoint¬ments over the past decade,” Bokpromised to review the case by1983, but missed the deadline. Bythe time Bok reviewed Skocpol’scase, the first case he had everpersonally overseen in his presi¬dency, it was the summer of 1984and Skocpol had already accept¬ed a tenured position here at theUniversity of Chicago. The fol¬lowing January, Bok offeredSkocpol the position she had previously been denied.“I spent an exceptional amountof time going over the material,speaking with the experts, (and)going over it in my own mind.Now the ball is really in Theda'scourt to see if she accepts,” re¬ported Bok in January 4. 1985issue of the Harvard Crimson.Skocpol was relieved both forherself and Harvard: “I was veryrelieved to have the struggle overwith, for everybody’s sake.” Butshe did not know whether shewould accept Harvard’s offer. “Iwasn’t at all sure. I had been veryhappy; I’m not sure I’ll ever beas happy as I was there (the U ofC),” said Skocpol in a phone in¬terview last Friday. Skocpol fi¬nally decided to go to Harvard, inpart, because, “If I had turnedthe offer down, I may not everhave been asked to return,” and added, “it was very sad for me toleave the University of Chica¬go”Skocpol claimed that her impe¬tus for filing a grievance and en¬during the review process wasnot particularly fueled by any fe¬minist convictions at the onset. “Iwasn’t much of a feminist Ialways believed in fairness and Iwasn’t specifically aware of whathappened to women until it hap¬pened to me,” Skopcol added thatnow that she filed Harvard’s firstgrievance, “a lot more womenfile grievances, and I think it’simportant. That’s what I did.”About leaving the University ofChicago, Skopcol admits, “I havemany regrets. I very much en¬joyed the institution. I’m not sureI’ll have as much freedom (atHarvard). There are some thingsI was able to do at the Universityof Chicago that I won’t be able todo at Harvard, like work at theCenter for the Study of IndustrialSocieties (CSIC).

The1986 prizes will be presented in May at theIsraeli Knesset by the President of Israel.Libchaber was awarded the prize for his“brilliant experimental demonstration ofthe transition to chaos in turbulent and dyn¬amical systems.”“What we have shown is that the chaoticstate of nature can be understood mathema¬tically,” said Libchaber. “We have seenthat this chaotic state can be described withdeterministic equations,” he added.Descriptions of order and chaos havebeen of significant interest in physics. How¬ever, until very recently these descriptionswere limited to certain special systems,Race tensionscontinued from page oneNationwide, feelings of “having second-class status” are becoming more prevalent,says Jacqueline Fleming, a Barnard psy¬chology professor and author of “Blacks inCollege.”She says official inattention makes themfeel “abandoned.”West Virginia black students respondedby instigating a street fight, says Fre-dericka Wallace, president of the BlackUnity Organization.She says racial tensions have been build¬ing since August, but blacks felt they “couldnot go to authorities because we’d belaughed at.”At Connecticut, Puerto Ricans demandedan apology from the school’s mascot whenhe blew his nose with the Puerto Rican flagat a basketball game. Administrators’ slowreaction prompted one professor to note, “Ifany of use had done this to the Americanflag, we’d have been fired, or slapped in theface.” Albert Libchaberknown as equilibria systems, which can bedescribed in the traditional terms of mathe¬matics.There are other classes of systems whichAt Penn, it was President Sheldon Hack¬ney’s slow response — and eventual refusalto intervene — in the Dolfman case thatturned a minor incident into a 15-month or¬deal that has soured race relations on thecampus.As a result, says Graduate MinoritiesCouncil President Wayne Glasker, racialtensions have reached a “crisis point.”Afro-American Studies Prof. JacquelineWade adds that students complain constant¬ly of racism among their peers and particu¬larly from the Philadelphia and campus po¬lice, who recently arrested a black studentfor refusing to leave the steps of Penn’s den¬tal school.Wade believes the incident would not havehappened had the administration respondedforcefully to the Dolfman case.Glasker says racial tension still could be“defused before they escalate” if the ad¬ministration would show some interest instudent problems. do not behave simply. Chaos manifests it¬self in complex ways in these systems. It ap¬pears in the turbulence of pipe smoke and ofweather systems, in the complex flow of aliquid through a vessel, and in the randomgrowth of certain crystal structures. Thesesystems have eluded any coherent descrip¬tion.Feigenbaum developed a mathematicalformulation that he thought might describethe transition from order to chaos in suchsystems. This formulation uses special geo¬metrical objects called “fractals.”Fractals, unlike ordinary objects, are“self-similar.” A square or a circle lookslike a line under a microscope glass; a frac¬tal looks like itself. This self-similarlymodels many forms in the natural worldwhich are not bounded by simple surfaces.According to Feigenbaum’s model, chaot¬ic states could evolve deterministicallyfrom orderly ones. The reverse is also poss¬ible: orderly states can emerge from chaosin predictable ways.Libchaber confirmed much of Feigen-baum’s theory in his experimental work.Otherwise, he says, “it’s going to take acrisis to change things, and sooner or later,there’s going to be that crisis.”Where administrators have maintainedan obvious interest in minority student af¬fairs, tensions seem to vanish quickly.When a rental service employee in No¬vember told a Northwestern student “Idon’t rent to black people,” NU immediate¬ly barred discriminatory companies fromcampus.Connecticut’s Board of Trustees similar¬ly adopted a broad racial harassment policywhen it found out white faculty membershad derided blacks as “remedial.”At Southern Connecticut State last No¬vember, new president Michael Adanti ac¬tually joined a group of black students stag¬ing a class boycott, handing them ahandwritten pledge to hire more black fac¬ulty and coaches.SCSU spokesman Richard Galligan saysrace relations have been “calm” sincethen. chaosWorking with various fluids, Libchabershowed that chaotic states may emerge in adeterministic way from more orderly onesas Feigenbaum predicted. In his experi¬ment, Libchaber also used a description offluid flow that was developed in the 1950’sby Chicago physicist S. Chandraeskhar.Physics professor Leo Kadanoff said thatLibchaber and Feigenbaum have shown“that the beginnings of chaos are mathema¬tically understandable and essentially uni¬versal. This is an intellectual surprise of thefirst importance.”Libchaber hopes to eventually extend hisresults to a wide variety of physical phe¬nomena. “We are at the very beginnings ofunderstanding in this subject. In the veryiong term, we would like to use this knowl¬edge to understand such natural phenome¬na as the shapes of leaves and the develop¬ment of animals from embryos,” he said.Other applications of Libchaber’s theoriesare being pursued by Chicago economistswho are attempting to adapt Libchaber’swork to a theory of the stock market.Grad tutors soughtThe University Writing Program is invit¬ing applications from graduate students inall areas of the University for positions asLectors, Interns, and Tutors.

What Jesse andI were exhibiting in that snapped scene wasnot aikido at all. We were caricaturing thecommon response to aggression, where peo¬ple respond to attacks in ways that createstruggle and escalate tension. The art of ai¬ kido demonstrates a third way, beyond vio¬lence and passive resistance, that enablesone to respond to aggression with firm loveand calm control. In aikido, there are no gri¬maces or tensions as in the photo — onlyblending and flowing.Donald N. LevineFaculty AdviserU of C Aikido ClubSex debate is getting sillyTo the Editor:This running debate between the sexesamuses me far more than it annoys me. Itseems to me to be nothing more than aseries of (stereo) typical generalizationslaunched by members of one sex against theother. This has gone on forever and proba¬bly will never stop. Such is life.I, however, have a slightly different atti¬tude from most who have published here inthe past couple of weeks. Having gone foryears to a school where the girls were muchbrighter, more talented, more athletic thanthe boys and then changing to an all-girlsschool for the last two years of high school, Igrew up believing that women were certain¬ly equal to, if not superior to, men. Almostall my teachers were male, whom I greatlyrespected, but I never thought that thfeywere any more qualified than women for thejobs. In fact, the thought never crossed mymind.I made an abrupt transition to a previous¬ly all-male college. There I was in the mi¬nority (6:1 my first year), and my femalefriends and I had to prove to our male peers(and the male faculty) that we deserved tobe there, studying economics and politicalscience. We did. As a general rule, we weremore ambitious than the men. We faced alot of general discrimination and some out¬right hostility. There were also some verysexist attitudes that we had to battle. Therewere no frats at my school, but there wereall-male dorms (60-70 guys) which harboredsome of the worst attitudes. (My fellowCMS’ers: Do you remember the GCO Club?And they said they weren’t being sexist.)We had to fight our way into the college, theclassroom, the student senate, the econom¬ics association, the dorms. The catchphrase there was: “...where the men aremen, and so are the women.’’ We fought agood fight—when we had to. It prepared usfor the “real world.”But, you know something? Those guys(most of them, at least) were actually nicewhen you met them individually. Even thehardcore jocks, the Berger Boys. Certainlythere were jerks. I went out with one or two. But usually their worst behavior was collec¬tive and drunken, not individual. Once theystarted going out with someone they re¬spected, they calmed down considerably,mainly because the women at that schoolwere not willing to put up with jerks. Theyhad better things to do with their time thanwaste it on someone who refused to grow up.So, the women weren’t “dumped.” Men andwomen discovered that they could still befriends after a relationship had ended. Andthey discovered they could be friends with¬out any sort of sexual involvement at all.Men and women treated each other like peo¬ple, not just members of the opposite sex.So, my point is (and every paper musthave a point) that if men and women startedthinking of themselves as people first andpossible sexual/romaniic interests second,maybe they’d get along a lot better. Menand women aren’t all that different, just asmost people aren’t all that different. Theirbackgrounds are, but they aren’t. Maybe itis a sign of increasing age and maturity ormaybe just a sign of improved taste, but Ihaven’t met a single guy in 3V2 years herethat I really thought was a jerk, incapableof being anything but a jerk. If I have metone, I haven’t stuck around long enough tofind out for sure. My idea of a good time isnot being trampled on by some guy who justwants to assert his masculinity-inflatedmale ego. Some men (and women) nevergrow up, but most do—eventually. I think itdepends a lot on the people they encounteras they’re growing up (roughly, ages 15-30).It certainly has a lot to do with respect,something both men and women could workon.As for those calendars—this school is de¬finitely behind the times. All the schools onthe west coast have had calendars featuringthe best-looking males on campus tor years.Women are old hat. Let’s see what the menhere have to offer. From the looks of someof the guys I see in the weight room, theydefinitely have something. Now, that’s acalendar I would buy. Start working on yourtans, guys.Mennette MasserThe Chicago MaroonThe Chicago Maroon is the official student newspaper of the University of Chicago.It is published twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Fridays.Mail subscriptions are available for $24 per year.The Maroon welcomes letters and other contributions from students, faculty, staff,and others.

VIEWPOINTSSGFC inconsistentBy David Rocahand Joshua KellmannThe mass media in this country constant¬ly reminds us that this is the age of yuppie.All of our peers are out there pursuing theirself-interest, getting ready to make lots ofmoney and have lots of fun — the messagebeing that if everyone else is doing it we’dbetter get a move on or we’ll end up as un¬derpaid social workers. The present glorifi¬cation of hedonism is to us an unpleasanttrend, to say the least, but perhaps it is ab¬surd to flaunt morality in the face of socialtrends. Then again, perhaps it is not.In the past, criticisms of the anti¬apartheid movement have relied heavilyupon the hypocritical statement that thereis no universal morality and that those ac¬tivists attempt simply to impose their liber¬al values on the rest of us. In order to avoidsuch misdirected criticism we will not ap¬peal to any universal morality, nor will wedebate the absolute or relative nature ofmorality in general. This is not an excusehowever to avoid all judgement. Regardlessof the question of the existence of a univer¬sal morality, each individual in society actson the basis of a personal moral standard.Yet, by the definition of society, each indi¬vidual must interact with other individuals,and in order to prevent a degeneration intoa state of anarchy, each of us must be ableto articulate the standards upon which weact and why we hold those standards, aswell as understand the consequences ofholding them.Some recent actions and statements byStudent Government (SG), and in particu¬lar the Finance Committee, have demon¬strated a disconcerting inability to articu¬late a consistent moral standard. If, fromtheir recent actions however we are to infera moral code, we arrive at one which, to us,seems highly questionable, and the implica¬tions of which the SG apparently fails to un¬derstand.In particular, we refer to the denial offunding to the Noam Chomsky event, toCommon Sense, the inadequate grant to Stu¬dents for Nuclear Disarmament (SND) andthe allocation of $2163 to bring a speakerfrom Playboy Magazine. According to LisaMontgomery, the chairperson of the Fi¬nance Committee, the denial of funds toCommon Sense and to the group trying tobring Noam Chomsky to campus was madeon the basis that SG cannot fund an event“whose primary purpose is to promote anideology or to alter public policy.” This ar¬gument can be faulted on a number ofgrounds. While the SG’s goal of only funding purely educational events (ie, events whichpromote no ideology) is a noble one, it ap¬pears they have not considered what fullyconstitutes an education.Assuming that it is possible to presentonly the facts — a questionable assumptionat best — merely doing so does not suffice.Most of the facts on which Freud based histheory of psychoanalysis were available forthousands of years before he made his ideasknown. The point is, mere possession of thefacts does not necessarily lead to any con¬clusions, much less the right ones. Even ifwe disagree with Freud’s theories, they pro¬vide a stepping stone from which we canprogress. Both facts and interpretation arenecessary for forward movement, and weoften don’t see all possible interpretationsourselves. For this reason, if the goal istruly educational, it makes no sense to denyfunding either to Noam Chomsky or to Com¬mon Sense.Students for Nuclear Disarmament hasorganized a forum on the question ofwhether we are experiencing a militariza¬tion of scientific research and what theoreti¬cal consequences of this may be, and to ex¬amine what the University policy is andshould be with regard to the specific case ofStar Wars research. Representatives ofboth sides were searched out to be on thepanel. The importance of questions aboutacademic freedom and the ethical respon¬sibilities of scientists and of universities, tostudents and to the University in general,should be self-evident, regardless of whereone stands on the issues themselves.The priorities of SG, evidenced by theirdistribution of funds, has shown little recog¬nition of the importance of these questions,however. That SG could spend $2163 to bringa columnist from Playboy Magazine tospeak on “Love and Sex” while grantingless than half of the measly $250 needed bySND to adequately publicize their forum isunconscionable.This allocation of resources by SG reflectsa value system which places hedonisticgratification above social, ethical and edu¬cational concerns by a factor of about 20.This value system reflects a lack of concernover the efffects of one’s actions or of thoseof the University. This lack of concern isfurther reflected in SG’s position that fund¬ing should only go to those who advocate amaintenance of the status quo, as if thiswere somehow any less a “political” posi¬tion than advocating change in public poli¬cy. Is this a value system which is in stand¬ing with the ideals of an institution devotedto learning such as the University of Chica¬go? We think not.NO DINNER OREDITOR’S MEETING thisSunday, February 9th.In observance of the College holiday,the Maroon will not publish nextTuesday, February 11.Regular publication will resume onFriday, February 14.4—The Chicago Maroon—Friday, February 7, 1986• COMPLETEsingle v isiondesigner glasses1051N.

According to TheDaily Northwestern, several stu¬dents remained in the librariesthroughout the telecast. One con¬fessed, “I’m not a sports fan.”Another, probably a member ofNU’s much maligned gridironteam, proclaimed, “Football isjust a game.” Others sought ref¬uge from the onslaught of themedia hype and hoopla surround¬ing the Monsters of the Midway.Commented Tracy Millar, afreshman at NU, “I’m just sick ofthe Bears. I’ve heard too muchabout them. I’m ready to smashmy radio every time ‘The SuperBowl Shuffle’ comes on.” Bringon Atlanta, bring on Dallas, thisone’s for Mike and Papa BearHalas. interviewed in the University ofSouth Carolina’s The Gamecock,said, “The atmosphere forcesyou to party. Every time you’resleeping, you feel like you’remissing'e party, and you proba¬bly are.” Brian Smokier, a USCsenior, said, “Fort Lauderdale ismayhem; it’s a zoo. I don’t thinkthis code can be too effective be¬cause people are there mainly todrink.” The Floridians responseto such skepticism? Ott Cefkin, aFt. Lauderdale police spokesper¬son, said, “The (residents) wouldbe happy if we set up concentra¬tion camps and did away with thestudents.” (CPS) SDSU President Dr.Thomas Day has asked city pros¬ecutors to reconsider their deci¬sion not to prosecute threemembers of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.The members allegedly rapeda female student who had fallenunconscious after drinking toomuch at a frat party.

THE UNIVERSITY ASBIG BROTHER...Bruce Nestor, a University ofIowa student involved with anti-CIA activities, has declined theuniversity’s offer to clear thecharges against him informally,reports The Daily Iowan. Nestorwas alleged to have violated stu¬dent regulations during an at¬tempt to disturb CIA recruitmentinterviews. He was accused ofwillful and unauthorized demon¬strations within campus build¬ings, defacing UI property, andassaulting and threatening indi¬viduals. Nestor opted for a publichearing after calling the UI offer“rather ludicrous.” He arguedthat to accept such a bid wouldimply his guilt where he felt hewas blameless. However, the per¬son picked by the administrationto be the presiding officer at thehearing will be a UI staffmember whom Nestor claimswill not be a fair and impartialjudge. “It shows me that the uni¬versity is judge, jury, and execu¬tioner,” Nestor said, “if theywant to find me guilty — theywill.” this is an outrage ."umwvoumNr?.ujorld war m ? haven'tYOUREOPCE SEEN"ROCKY EL"?

AND LESS.c 1985 MrUer twwmq Co Milwaukee WlFriends don't let friends drive drunk12—The Chicago Maroon—Friday. February 7. 1986The Third StringDennis A. ChanskyDid you see those Division III polls and Division III confer¬ence standings on the scoreboard page of Wednesday’s Tri¬bune? Since the local media is beginning to cover small collegeathletics on a much more regular basis, it seems appropriateto explain just who’s who and what’s what in Division III forthe people who do not already know.The NCAA is divided up into three divisions for the purposeof competition in all sports save football, where they haveadded a sub-division. Division I is characterized by the largenumber of athletic scholarships which they can award. Divi¬sion II programs can offer a diminished number of scholar¬ships, and Division III, home of the University of ChicagoMaroons, can offer none at all. When you watch college sportson television, you are watching two of over 300 or so Division Iprograms compete. When you go to the Henry Crown FieldHouse to watch a sporting event, you are most likely watchingtwo of over 300 or so Division III programs compete, althoughthere are no rules barring teams from different divisions fromplaying one another.The midwest, from western Pennsylvania to Iowa is the truehomeland of Division III athletics. The neighboring CollegeConference of Illinois and Wisconsin, the CCIW, is the premierDivision III athletic conference, and is, arguably, the mostdominant athletic conference in any division anywhere in thecountry. The leading CCIW power is Augustana College whichcan be best described as either a Division III Michigan, or aprotestant Notre Dame.In almost every sport, the Augustana Vikings field teamsranked in the top 20, and their mighty football team has notlost a game in over 3 years, including 3 Stagg Bowl victoriesmaking them three-time national champs. An even greater ac¬complishment has been turned in by Augustana’s conferencerival North Park College, the defending national champions inbasketball. In the 10 seasons since the Division III basketballtournament has been instituted, North Park has won fourtitles, under two head coaches, and currently, they are ranked15th in the nation.But even in our Midwest Collegiate Athletic Conference(MCAC) dwell some national powers. The 20th ranked men’steam in the nation are the Beloit Buccaneers. Beloit is coachedby a used car salesman named Bill Knapton, who has been atthe helm in Beloit for 29 years. Knapton’s teams have enjoyedmuch success during his tenure, making it to the now-defunctsmall school tournament, or the Division III tournament on sixor seven different occasions. Knapton is the Division III repre¬sentative on the College Basketball Coaches’ Association Ex¬ecutive Council, and he has had so much success because he isso willing to learn from other great coaches. He teaches thesame moving screen as Bob Knight, the same two-handfulls-of-jersey approach to player control as Digger Phelps, and thesame elbow-to-the-head-shoulder-to-the back method of clear¬ing the lane as John Thompson. Beloit’s success has mainly todo with their incredible defense, especially at home, where op¬ponent’s shots just seem to rim out time and again, probablybecause, as more than one observer has suggested, the rims inBeloit are hung about and inch and a quarter below the regula¬tion height of ten feet. But coach Knapton’s, and Beloit Col¬lege’s greatest achievement remains the fact that they havegraduated more referees into the MCAC than any other schoolin the country. You can see the 20th ranked Bucs next week inthe Field House.In women’s basketball, the Midwest Conference is similarlyblessed, boasting the 6th ranked team in the nation, the GreenKnights of St. Norbert College in DePere-by-Green Bay, Wis¬consin. The Lady Green Knights are named after their headcoach Connie Tilley, whose favorite pastimes are rumored tobe sniffing napalm and pressing when her team is 25 pointsahead. Coach Tilley brought her team to the Division III finalfour last year, but alas, once there they did not win a game. St.Norbert is led by All-American candidate Amy Proctor, andthey will be visiting us next weekend, taking on the Maroonswho are led by three-time All American Gretchen Gates, cur¬rently second in the nation is scoring. Should Gates win thescoring title, she will join Chicago’s great tailback Bruce Mon-tella, who led the nation in rushing this year, and who was theMaroon’s first football All-American since Jay Berwanger in1935.Here endeth the first lesson about the Third Division. Men's track starts runningBy Scott BernardMark Cawi wasn’t throwing very well lastSaturday night. After weeks of hard prac¬tice, the burly sophomore shot-putter wasblowing his first major competition of theyear, throwing only a little over 43 feet —fine for most mortals, but not for Cawi.Preparing for his fourth throw, Cawi with¬drew into himself, retreating into the soli¬tary concentration that the shot-putterknows so well. All the training, all the hardwork he re-lived in a few moments. A look ofsteely determination came over his eyes.He stepped into the circle, nestled the shotagainst his chin, and waited, letting the ten¬sion mount. A hush fell over the FieldHouse. Time stood still.Without warning, Cawi sprang into ac¬tion. He leaped backward across the circle,whipped around, and heaved the shot might¬ily, simultaneously unleashing a grunt so fe¬rocious that women and children went scur¬rying for cover. The shot sailed through theair, a twisting ball of blackness gleaming inthe bright Field House lights. Just when itseemed the orb would never stop rising, itbegan its slow descent and thudded into thefloor, awaiting a measurement.46’ 9-3/4”! Cawi had put it all together forthe farthest throw of his young life.Was his personal record also a school re¬cord? “I’m not sure, but I think some Chi¬cago athlete in the late 60’s threw the shot alittle farther,” said Coach Mike Karluk.“However, this is definitely the longest putat Chicago in the post-Watergate era.”Cawi’s throw was only slightly more than4 feet away from the Division III nationalqualifying mark, and it was a foot closer tothe mark than any of his previous throws.“Mark is sneaking up on qualifying,” saidCoach Karluk. “He still has a little way togo, but if he keeps improving like he hasbeen, he just might make it to Nationals be¬fore the year is up. And if he doesn’t make itthis year, I’m sure he’ll do it before he’s outof college.”Cawi earned one of Chicago’s three first places in Saturday’s non-scoring meet,which included athletes from eight area col¬leges such as Northwestern, Chicago State,and Valparaiso. Seniors John Seykora andGary Levenson garnered the Maroons’other first place awards.Seykora, coming off an illness, cruisedthrough the 600 yards in workmanlike fash¬ion to win in 1:18.8, just ahead of teammateJon Cole. Neither looked sharp, but for thefirst varsity meet of the indoor season, theyran well.Levenson, on the other hand, looked greatas he won the 1000-yd run, leading fromstart to finish. His time of 2:19.4 set a per¬sonal record by two seconds. “Gary ran su¬perbly,” commented Coach Karluk. “Hewent through the half-mile faster than he’srun the half this year. But what impressedme most was that he didn’t tie up aftergoing out so fast. He stayed strong and man¬aged to hang on for a PR.” Levenson is look¬ing to improve on the third-place finish heachieved in the 1000 at last year’s confer¬ence championship. “I think that if I getpushed, I can cut off another couple of sec¬onds. And if I do that — who knows? I justmight win conference.”Two sprinters running distances theyrarely run turned on the after-burners to re¬cord stellar performances. Major Robinson,who concentrates on the 100m and 200m out¬doors, stepped up to the 400m and showed hehas the strength to compete in the longersprints. He blazed through the open 400 in52.4 seconds to take third place. Then hecame back an hour later to break 52 on hisleg of the mile relay. Tom McKibben, a newMaroon recruit who considers himself along-jump specialist, roared through the300-yd run to place second in 33.5 seconds.Noting that this was McKibben’s first 300ever. Coach Karluk observed, “The rookiehas talent.”Sean Love, who, like Seykora, is comingoff an illness, served notice that he has de¬finitely returned to health. He took secondin the 2-mile run in a PR-time of 10:05.Women runners improveBy Arzou AhsanStaff WriterThe University of Chicago Track Teamhad a strong showing at last Saturday’smeet at Henry Crown Field House. Thewomen are still running the shorter races inorder to build strength and speed. But, re¬gardless of the inexperience this causes,they placed highly in most of their events.Sprinter Shauna Smith came in first in the60 yard high hurdles with a time of 9.4 secs,and third in the 300m. She was followed byfreshman Lana Kim who placed fifth with atime of 43.5. Lisa Peterson blew away thecompetition for the 400m in 63.4. She set apersonal record in that race and accordingto Coach Mike Karluk, “can only look to getbetter.” After coming off a long week’slayoff, Nan Lewicky came in third at 67.9.In the 800m it was all U of C as KarinKenny and Lisa Miotto finished one and two.Kenny came on strong in the end to win therace at 2:36.8. Miotto was a hair’s breadthbehind at 2:37.4. Kathy Irschick ran a strong race in her first ever 1000 yd run, fin¬ishing second in 3:09. In the distance depart¬ment, Rachel Vinkey took second in themile with a 5:43.4. She also ran the first legof the 4x400 relay in 69.4. Lisa Miotto ran thesecond leg in 69.2. Unfortunately, no one ranthe last two legs and Chicago recorded aDNF (did not finish).In the field events, senior Caroline Chris¬tian threw the shot for Chicago. In her firstcompetition in this event, Christian record¬ed a 20’9”. As soon as she gets her techniquedown, Christian should be able to add quitea few feet to her throw. (Yes, this is a pre¬diction).Other predictions: Chicago has a solidcore of runners who are performing well inraces in which they are relatively inex¬perienced. Hence, by the time the confer¬ence meet rolls around and these runnershave found their niches, they should be aformidable opponent. The team will com¬pete this weekend in Dupage at the Chicago-land Championships which will provideheavy competition and a lot of experience.Maroons host NUThe University of Chicago wrestling teamwill host nationally ranked.

CONTEMPT <@> DESPAIR/by John StevensonPreceding the recent International Writ¬ers Congress in New York there were sev¬eral events staged by the U.S. chapter ofPEN to raise money for it. One of thesefeatured Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal ina joint forum. Since the two have been leg¬endary antagonists for years, a literarybrawl was expected, but failed to materi¬alize. They said, nonetheless, some inter¬esting things. Although Mailer’s later de¬cision to invite Secretary of State Schultzto address the PEN gathering of writershas drawn the most attention, this pre¬conference raises some important politicalissues as well.‘‘This is a very sad day for the world ofliterature,” Vidal began. ‘‘President Rea¬gan’s library burned down. Both bookswere destroyed. The tragedy was, he hadnot finished coloring the second one.”When it was Mailer’s turn, he dubbedthe Grenada invasion ‘‘musical comedy asfascism,” and Reagan “the leading actorin an on-going soap opera.”It was this sort of topic, and this sort ofstance, that dominated the evening. Vidalgave an analysis of the present adminis¬tration:‘‘Reagan was elected to do three things:cut taxes for the rich, eliminate corporatetaxation and keep the Defense Depart¬ment rich. He’s done all three.”Mailer, for his part, went on to lamentthat ‘‘we don’t have good Presidents anymore. We have charming Presidents likeReagan, but we don’t have good Presi¬dents. We don’t have serious Presidents.Take someone like Maggie Thatcher. I’mnot fond of her politics, but she is an ex¬traordinary politician. If politicians wereathletes, Maggie Thatcher would be ablue-chip athlete and Reagan would be ascrub. Without the media, Reagan wouldnot be a politician at all. He is the firstcreature of the media to run thiscountry.”This kind of feeling and analysis is onethat’s fairly typical of literary intellectu¬als in the U.S. today. Of course there areplenty of intellectual neo- and paleo-con-servatives, Reaganites, Ramboites andassorted others' riding the current rightistwave, but more typical are the mixed feel¬ings of alienation, contempt and despairenunciated by these two leading literati.And why not? The 1980s do truly seemto be the Age of Rambo—obscene fanta¬sies of unrestrained jingoism, the cult ofthe physical, the denigration of the mind-in short, the triumph of the yahoo in publiclife. It is contemptible, all right. And howcan you not feel alienated?But how to comprehend it? How shouldthe whole phenomenon Reagan, Americaand the world in the eighties be under¬stood?It’s really not very enlightening simplyto look down on Reagan as a B-movieactor of limited intelligence. In fact it’squite misleading. Reagan is not abumbler. He’s an actor still, no doubt, buthe is playing a very serious role. Reaganmay be just as much a media construct asRambo, but neither is an aberration.They’re both of them simultaneously sym¬bols and exponents of major historicalforces in the world today. Reaganism can¬not be understood by just looking at Rea¬gan.Of course these two writers don’t focusonly on the character and personality ofthe President. They also have theories ofcontemporary history. Certainly GoreVidal does.Where Mailer rambled around dealingblows at contemporary phenomena rang¬ing from health care to architecture to the“proliferation of worldwide schlock,”Vidal delivered an “essay” on the declineand fall of the American empire:“As a result (of the arms race), the worldis no safer, the United States is a lotpoorer and the rich have become a greatdeal richer. As early as 1950, Albert Ein¬stein understood the nature of the ripoff.He said the men who possess great power in this country have no intention of everending the cold war. Thirty-five yearslater, they are still at it, making moneywhile the nation itself declines to 11thplace in world per capita income, 46th inliteracy and 92 trillion in debt. This sum¬mer, the money power shifted to Tokyoand that was the end of the American em¬pire. Now the long-feared Asiatic colossustakes its turn as a world leader and thoseof us who belong to the white race havebecome the yellow man’s burden. Let ushope that he will treat us more kindly thanwe did him.”The end of the American empire? Some¬how I doubt it. However serious the situa¬tion is in international monetary affairsit’s still pretty clear from history that em¬pires have to do with more than simpleeconomics. The U.S. was the most dynamic,ascending economic power among themajor industrial countries for the firstforty years of this century. But it was onlythrough the fiery upheaval of World WarII that America was able to supplant theFrench and British empires in Asia and theMiddle East and become the dominantworld power. If Japan, in turn, topples theU.S. from its position, it will not be a quietaffair. Of course there’s a characteristic glib¬ness in Vidal's speech. Phrased in his usualarch style, one doesn’t know whether heintends it as a serious theory or simply abon mot. But all the same there is some¬thing seriously meant which seems to comethrough, and that is a lament for vanishedpower. Although pitched as a polemicagainst the President who promises a re¬turn to full imperial power, there is a not-too-hidden symmetry between the wishesof Reagan and Vidal. For the latter’s in¬dictment revolves principally around theformer's failure to deliver on his promises.Vidal accuses Reagan of having let thiscountry slip to eleventh place in per capitaincome on the world scale. Apparently heshould be restoring that state of thingswhich gave Americans (as postwar bill¬boards used to boast) the highest stan¬dard of living in the world. That was thetime as well when, far from the U.S. beinga debtor nation, the rest of the world wasin debt to the United States. It seems thatboth Vidal and Reagan agree the goalshould be to restore that position of worlddominance—to make, in other words,“America number one again.”But if that’s the goal, then it seems to methat Reagan has the right idea. Take South Africa, for instance. Why shouldn’tthe U.S. support apartheid? With $2.5 bil¬lion of direct investments, $7.6 billion ofshares in South African companies, $3.9billion in bank loans, and $2 billion worthof exports to that country, U.S. participa¬tion in the South African economy is im¬mense, and it is the cheap Black laborguaranteed by apartheid which makes iteconomically attractive. Then there arethe strategic minerals for which SouthAfrica is the world’s number one source-manganese, platinum, chromium, silliman-ite, etc. And let’s not forget South Africa’sstrategic position, athwart the South At¬lantic sea lanes, and by far the strongestmilitary power in the southern part of thecontinent. All these things are freelyavailable to America and its allies underthe white supremicist government.Of course the tempestuous uprisings ofBlack people there threaten this system,and U.S. interests would seem to dictatesome reforms of apartheid in order toavoid a complete overthrow. But this isprecisely what the U.S. under Reagan isdoing—urging gradual reform and apeaceful solution on both whites andBlacks, pushing for a disposition which willquiet the uprisings but leave the essentialstructure intact. Maybe this administra¬tion could be reproved for not having got¬ten exactly the right mix of criticism vs.support, but if the goal is U.S. world domi¬nance and a higher standard of living forAmericans, I don’t see how the Reagan ad¬ministration can be faulted for its policy ofcritical support and constructive engage¬ment in South Africa. After all. what isnear-slavery for a few million people if itcontributes to better living for Ameri¬cans?It's fairly easy, and even comforting, tothink that everything reduces to a Presi¬dent who is (a) stupid, and (b) partial tothe rich. Vidal s theory—and it’s a commonone—seems to be that in pursuit of theshort-term interests of the wealthy. Rea¬gan is selling out overall American inter¬ests on the world scene. The prime examp¬le is military expenditure, seen as asimple boondoggle to fill the coffers of bigcorporations. But this too is hard to credit.Nations have generally armed themselvesin order to make war; why should the U.S.be different? Military might is also a ne¬cessity of empire, and defense spendinghas a rationale that can’t be wishedaway.“If only we could have American worldsupremacy, a better income distributionwithin the U.S., and not spend so much onthe military”—that's Vidal’s cry. Becauseit combines advocacy of American empirewith fulminations against the rich, thispoint of view is what I call imperialist po¬pulism. Although Vidal now opposes thehigh rate of military spending, what willhe (and others like him) say when it’s obvi¬ous that real U.S. imperial interests are atstake? The logic of his position leads tosupport for U.S. action—for war, in otherwords—in that case.Some of these issues did surface at thePEN conference itself. At a session on thewriter and alienation. Toni Morrison, theBlack woman writer from this country,said that “at no moment of my life have Iever felt as though I were an American.”Chicago’s own Saul Bellow, in contrast, de¬clared that alienation is something towhich writers in the U.S. often “have a fat¬uous attachment.” The American middleclass, he said, has (more sensibly) been ab¬sorbed in “common sense desires” likeclothing, shelter and good nealth.Bellow’s talk touched off a wave of con¬troversy. Breyten Breytenbach, a writerfrom South Africa who lives in Paris, com¬mented that the “freedom and prosperityof the United States rests possibly on theunfreedom and the poverty and exploita¬tion of many large parts of the world, in¬cluding South Africa.”It's more than possible. And in this situa¬tion, alienation is a necessity. Even peoplewho live in the United States don’t have tobe Americans.MANY MOODS OF THE AGE OF REAGAN■ ' "■XF0 R EM 0ST Jjxfuot Stole1531 East Hyde Park Blvd. • 955-5660CHATEAU GLORIA1982 BORDEAUX1 4.99?s«mlCASE OF 12 BOTTLES 159.50 MONTICELLOCABERNET SAUVIGNONCORLEY RESERVE12 991 Jm • «/ 750 MLROBERT MONDAVICHARDONNAR1 3*49 750 ML PIPER HEIDSIECKCHAMPAGNE1 l *99 750MLHYDE PARK’S LARGEST IMPORTED BEER DEPARTMENT!MOOSEHEAD I6-12 oz.N.R.

There are wise¬cracks, gooey love songs, shenani¬gans, and lots o’ fun. Director StuartFeffer has cast the play againsttype—i.e., not Marx Brothers imita¬tors. No big black cigars, no piano orharp solos, no leg business—justyour basic wreakers of havoc burst¬ing in on Long Island society grandedame Mrs. Rittenhouse’s party forthe famous Captain Spalding. MarkAudrain, recently most visible inHair, takes on the role of CaptainJeffrey T. Spalding (bet you can’tguess what the T stands for); BarryEndick is his secretary, Horatius Ja¬mison, the only calm member of theensemble; Juan Luco of the chame¬leon accents plays Ravelli, and JohnLodder is the nutty Professor. Thequartet descend on Mrs. Rittenhouse(Beth Schneider) and her guests,throwing curves galore into thestaid proceedings. The plot (such asit is) centers around the showing of afamous statue and the various at¬tempts to sabotage it. In the mean¬time, Spalding romances Mrs. Rit¬tenhouse, the Professor chases thegirls, Ravelli rewrites bridge rules,and the romantic subplots weave inand out along their tortuous paths.With fortitude unbending, Spaldingbrings a happy ending, in spite ofeverything else.

YetDeath (Ademar da Silva) stalks herin a masquerade. In one breath Or¬pheus vows to protect her, but in an¬other laments: “Happiness lasts aday.’’ With measureless talentCamus surveys the Carnival withwide-open camerawork: tilted shotsof men drumming; medium shots ofOrpheus and Eurydice dancing; low-angle shots of the crowd applaud¬ing; down shots of Death hoveringabove the ensemble; and eye-levelshots of boys tunneling through thecrowd—all conveying a plasticrhythm and unity. After Deathfrightens Eurydice away from thetroupe and occasions Orpheus’downfall, we come to realize thatdeath is a jealous lover. AcademyAward for Best Foreign Film, 1959.Thur at 8 pm. International House.$2. BTOut of Africa (Sydney Pollack, 1985) Aromantic adventure with a message,Out of Africa conveys the melan¬choly journeys of Karen (MerylStreep), a prepossessing aristocrat,in British East Africa (Kenya) at theturn-of-the-century. There she mar¬ries Bror (Klaus Maria Brandauer)only to fall in love with Denys (Rob¬ert Redford), a professional hunterwith a winsome nature. After fallingin love, these two traverse the backcountry, but are never quite able totraverse their own inner wilderness.Karen and Denys, she rigidly pos¬sessive and he fiercely independent,disable one another as they try toconvert each other during their ro¬mance without commitments. Pol¬lack's direction is impeccably clear,up to the incident of Karen s firstplane ride, alternating diagonalwith horizontal lines, tenison withbalance; yet as these two titans 5 " Jclash, this rhythm dissolves, per¬haps reflecting the point at whichKaren is consumed by the amor¬phous beauty of man and beast.Meryl Streep delivers a faultlessperformance, as does Klaus MariaBrandauer, but Robert Redfordmeasures his cadence and seems tohave strode in from Jeremiah John¬son.

LETTER: FUNDING FIASCO 000men.To the Editor:We protest the invitation extended by the Stu¬dent Government Association (SGA) to Mr. JamesPeterson of Playboy magazine, who will speak onFebruary 8 on the U of C campus at the cost of over$2100. If the intention of SGA is to present an au¬thority on sexual issues, we question his qualifica¬tions. Mr. Peterson has a BA in English and writesan advice column in Playboy magazine. If the in¬tention is to bring "humor” to the U of C campuswe find no humor in a corporation that has profit¬ed from and promoted the sexual objectificationof women.Playboy promotes a distorted view of sexualityin which men hold positions of invulnerability andcontrol. Women are not valued for themselves butas sexual status symbols. Like a Ferrari in thedriveway, an attractive woman in the bedroom isproof of a man’s success in the world.It is sometimes difficult to recognize that whichis hostile to the interests of women because of theinsidious nature of sexism. Much of what is sexistis considered "natural” or is dismissed as “theway men and women interrelate". Unfortunately,the reality of women as second-class citizens in thepublic arena is a reality that extends to the treat¬ment we receive in intimate relationships with Playboy also sets an unreal standard for sexualattractiveness that many of the models them¬selves could not attain, were it not for airbrushingand other photographic techniques. Women aretaught to identify their worth with their sexualappearance and desirability and to feel less of awoman, less valuable for any deviations theymay have from this artificial standard.It is clear that in approving funds for this speak¬er, the SGA was indifferent to the concerns ofwomen on this campus. Few university women pur¬chase Playboy magazine, or are familiar with Mr.Peterson’s column. Playboy is, as it says "Enter¬tainment for Men.”We do not advocate censorship, but we regretthat the SGA has missed the opportunity to spon¬sor an event that would be authentically enter¬taining. Instead, it has cast a cloud over women'sstruggle for dignity and equality at this universi¬ty. It is money that could have been better spent.We urge you to voice your objection to the StudentGovernment Association, Ida Noyes Hall, Room306, 1212 E 59th Street, Chicago, IL, 60637, tel962-9732.The Women’s UnionDivinity School Women’s CaucusWomen’s Law CaucusGREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1986—3CARTOON MUSICby Rick WojcikBilly Bragg, "Days Like These” b/w "IDon’t Need This Pressure, Ron” & "Schol¬arship is the Enemy of Romance” (GolDiscs)Billy Bragg is a busy man these days. Hisnew project, Red Wedge ( a group whichcontains such rock figures as Paul Weller,Lloyd Cole, and Steven Duffy) is busy tour¬ing England in order to support LabourParty member Neil Kinnock’s bid for primeminister. Fortunately, Billy was able tofind enough time in the studio to recordthis single, his first in a while."Days Like These,”, similar to BillyBragg’s previous single "Between theWars” is a definite attempt to sell social¬ism. in his call for action Bragg sings,"Peace, bread, work, and freedom are thebest we can achieve. Wearing badges isnot enough in days like these.” The "dayslike these" that Bragg speaks of are thepresent state of British politics. He claimsthat "The party that became so powerfulby sinking foreign boats is dreaming upnew promises, ‘cause promises sell votes.”According to Bragg, the present govern¬ment has nothing to offer but disillusion¬ment. He casts "shame upon the patriot,when the mark of the Bulldog Breed is afamily without a home and a pensioner inneed.”Billy Bragg justifies himself in the faceof his critics on “I Don’t Need This Pres¬sure, Ron.” He states, "I see no shame inputting my name to socialism’s cause, or inseeking some more relevence than spot¬light and applause.” Bragg replies tothose who dub him as being too idealisticby asking them not to "saddle me withyour ideals and spare me all your guilt.For a poet with all the answers has neveryet been built.”The third track on the single, “Scholar¬ship is the Enemy of Romance,” gives thelistener a brief respite from Billy Bragg’sideology. The song, reminiscent of Bragg’searlier work, tells the story of a relation¬ship that was killed by its own tenderness.It’s nice to know that he can still writesongs like this.The quality of all these tracks is up toBilly Bragg’s usual high standards. He de¬livers his ideals with a degree of integritythat is rare among pop stars today. It isidealistic to think that “Days Like These"will be responsible for a surge in the La¬ bour Party’s popularity, but Billy Bragg’spresentation of the song will surely open afew eyes to that group’s cause.David Sylvian, Alchemy-An Index of Possi¬bilities (Virgin)In his role as lead singer of the groupJapan, David Sylvian seemed bent on im¬personating Roxy Music’s Bryan Ferry. Onhis latest release, however, he strives toimitate another Roxy alumnus, Brian Eno.At first listen, Alchemy-An Index of Possi¬bilities could be mistaken for one of Eno’srecent ambient projects. Sylvian evengoes so far as to make use of some of Eno'sone-time collaborators. In characteristicform appear such “new age” musicians asRobert Fripp, Jon Hassell, Percy Jones,and Holger Czukay. Also included, both inthe writing and instrumentation credits, isex-Yellow Magic Orchestra frontman,Ryuichi Sakamoto, with whom Sylvian hasworked in the past.The success of Alchemy relies heavily onthe presence of these musicians. Their indi¬vidual styles dreamily float in and out ofthe music which is tied together withstrong percussion and lilting keyboardssupplied by Sylvian.Alchemy-An Index of Possibilities wasreleased in two forms. The first, an e.p.,contains the three part composition“Words With the Shaman”. The secondform, a limited edition cassette, includesthe aforementioned song plus anothertrack, "Preparations for a Journey,” onside one. Side two of the cassette containsthe soundtrack to Steel Cathedrals, a shortfilm which as directed by Sulvian. Anadded bonus in this multi-media extrava¬ganza is the videotape of Steel Cathe¬drals, which was released along with thee.p. and cassette. However, I’m only re¬viewing the music. I’m sure that Siske) andEbert will find time to talk about the film(sarcasm). As a whole, this project is kindof fun and artsy, but if David Sylvian in¬sists on doing his impersonations, I’drather see him continue to imitate BryanFerry instead of Brian Eno.Scraping Foetus off the Wheel, Nail (SomeBizzare/Self Immolation)By all rights, this should be a scary re¬ cord. With its general themes of pain, de¬struction, and violence, one would expectit to get bogged down in its own angst. In¬stead, the songs on Nail are presentedwith a high degree of vitality and humor,thanks to Mr. Foetus himself, Jim Thir-well.Take, for example, this exerpt from“The Throne of Agony”, in which Thirlwellsings about his present physical condi¬tion:Alas poor Yorick...l knew me wellbut I bin killin ma brain cell by cellIt only takes a bullet to make thewoim toin - an this one’s for youThe toll is belling - the signs is tell¬ingNose is running...feet are smelling(Foetus Melon)Currently less than a human wreckGimme a break...start at the neckBeing in pain never sounded so fun. Thirl¬well claims that his music is supposed to"purge” his soul of its inherent evil na¬ture. However, somewhere in the processof purging, Jim’s sense of humor takesover. The result is an album filled with ex¬tended jokes about misery. This shouldn’tbe misconstrued as a negative aspect ofhis music, though. Nail has a very purga¬tive nature to it. So what if it’s not asangsty as it should be? There’s alreadyenough angst on vinyl for those who wantit. Nail is nothing more than well craftedfun. Thirwell provides a noisy rompthrough the school of positive negativism,and he does it with entertaining results.And speaking of noise, Nail has less of itthan the other Foetus releases. This is notto say that the tracks on Nail lack theforcefuiness of Thirwell’s earlier songs.Rather, the tracks on this album rely moreon strong instrumentation than purethrash. An example of this is the presenceof a string selection, similar to that used inThirwell’s work with Wiseblood. In fact,two tracks, “Theme From Pigdom Come"and “Overture From Pigdom Come", bothinstrumentals, rely so much on strings thatthey end up sounding like movements fromthe Victory at Sea soundtrack. These twonumbers are so well crafted that it’s diffi¬ cult to believe that Thirwell plays all theinstruments himself. Jim’s music still re¬tains its characteristic powerful drive, butit becomes even more effective as a prod¬uct of his increasing musical virtuousity.Nail stands as a tribute to this virtuousity,and to the ever-changing man who standsbehind it, Jim Thirwell.Art of Noise, “Legs” b/w “Hoops and Mal¬lets” (China/Chrysalis)An acquaintance of mine recently ruinedmy enjoyment of the Art of Noise by refer¬ring to them as “cartoon music”. Withinfive seconds all of their ideals of dadaisticcacophony were replaced in my mind byimages of Bluto chasing Popeye through aship while “Close to the Edit” plays in thebackground. I’ve been trying hard to blotout those visions, but it’s difficult becausethe new single “Legs” keeps giving meflashbacks."Legs” marks a departure for the Art ofNoise, not so much for their music as fortheir career. The Art of Noise, one of theflagship bands of Zang Tumm Tumb Re¬cords, recently left that label in order toassert their individuality. They claimedthat they were tired of having their pro¬ducer Trevor Horn and ZTT owner PaulMorley take credit for their work. This isunderstandable. It is one thing for a pro¬ducer’s name to be printed on a recordsleeve, but when a record company execu¬tive gets himself included in the writingcredits, things are getting out of hand.So, Art of Noise left Zang Tumm Tumb,signed with another label, and releasedthis single, stressing that it is entirelytheir own product. Unfortunately, theyhaven’t proved that they can perform anybetter without Trevor Horn, but merelythat they can maintain their quality in his.absence. “Legs” is a good song, but partsof it sound remarkably like “Beatbox”, anearlier Art of Noise single. With all of theircareer changes, it might have been hopedthat the Art of Noise would overhaul theirmusic. Instead, they have fallen into a ca¬cophonic rut.The flipside, “Hoops and Mallets”, ismore interesting, but it is still typical ofwhat the Art of Noise have been remixingand reselling for a few years now. Howev¬er, the band does deserve credit for mov¬ing out from under the iron yoke of PaulMorley and Trevor Horn. Now if only theycould do something about revitalizingtheir “cartoon music”...by Michael KotzeA look at Charles Rosen’s curriculumvitae is a humbling experience. The firstpage reveals an extraordinarily distin¬guished academic career: honorary doc¬torates from the Universities of Durhamand Leeds as well as Trinity College inDublin; four books on subjects rangingfrom nineteenth century art to ArnoldSchoenberg, including The Classical Style,winner of the National Book award in1972 and one of the key texts in its field;the Norton Lectures at Harvard, the ErnestBloch Lectures at Berkeley. Quite a career,but it doesn’t stop there, for Rosen is per¬haps even better known as a celebratedconcert pianist, playing all over the worldand with a repetoire ranging from Bachand Scarlatti to Elliot Carter and PierreBoulez. Rosen’s experience as a workingmusician gives his writing and academicwork an insight and vitality few of his col¬leagues in these fields share, just as theseChartM Rosen intellectual accomplishments are reflectedin performances of uncommonly articulateand communicative pianism. What mayseem at first to be a double career is infact one singular solution to spending alife in music: the scholar and the performerare inseparable, each enriching the workof the other, resulting in one of the mostimportant voices on today’s music scene.Rosen will play a recital in Mandel Hallon Sunday, February 16 at 3:00 pm; on theprogram are Boulz’s Third Sonata, six ofthe Debussy etudes, and a Chopin group ofnoctures, mazurkas, and the First Bal¬lade.Rosen: The Debussy etudes have a kind ofsentimental value to me because that’show I started my career—even before Imade my debut in New York, I recorded allthe etudes (I think I was the first pianist todo that) and that gave me the money tomake my debut in New York, which wasthe same year I got my Ph.D. I’ve alwaysloved the Debussy etudes. In the case ofthe Chopin, I’m really playing my favoritepieces. I began writing about music large¬ly because of one of the nocturnes that I’mgoing to be playing: I recorded it manyyears ago for the Epic label and somebodywrote in the liner notes for that “thismusic staggers drunken with the odor offlowers,” and I thought that was not theway / was going to play the piece, so I de¬cided after that I would write my ownliner notes, which is in fact why I beganwriting: mainly to keep nonsense off myrecords.GCJ: You have recorded most, if not all, ofthe music you’re playing on the Mandelprogram. Do you find that you interpret apiece differently depending on whetheryou are recording it or playing it before alive audience? What, for the performer, isthe difference between a concert and re¬cording?Rosen: The audience pays much greaterattention at a concert, while recording islike what McLuhan or somebody saidabout television: a medium for an audi¬ence in a state of distraction. While you’relistening to records you can drink beer andgo to the kitchen—you can’t do that at aconcert: you have to pay attention or fallasleep. / try to keep the audienceawake.Since you can’t control an audience in astate of distraction, you play a perfor¬mance for a recording more or less as youwould for a concert; the only difference isyou’re trying for a kind of temporarily de¬finitive statement, if you’ll pardon the ox¬ ymoron. You expect a performance on re¬cord to be heard more than once, so thoughyou may try experimental things for a re¬cording, if you don’t think they’d be worthhearing more than once you don’t put itout. In a concert, however, if you do it oncelike that and you think it’s worthless, youwon’t try it again. It’s not true to say thatyou’re more experimental at a concertthan when you are recording, except theexperiments that don’t work for a record¬ing you don’t issue.GCJ: Even so, do you ever find yourselfthrowing caution to the wind in a con¬cert?Rosen: Well...throwing caution to the windis not exactly the way one plays(laughs)...sometimes you do, yes, but Idon’t think I’ve ever played a whole con¬cert throwing caution to the wind!GCJ: The one living composer representedon this program is Pierre Boulez.Rosen: Boulez is one of the few composerswriting today I like to play. I’m playinghis Third Sonata, or rather that part of itwhich is published (the two movements en¬titled Constellation and Trope). I’ve seenother movements, they’re actually fin¬ished, but he won’t let them out—he’s stillputting the finishing touches on them...ex¬cept that it’s now been thirty-five years.It’s actually finished, but he’s just sort ofpolishing it. Of course there have beenpieces of Boulez where he has made veryradical changes—Pli selon pH, for examp¬le, originally had a fifteen minute pianosolo which has never been published; I’veheard it played at a concert in Vienna. Iasked Boulez why he took it out, because Ihave always liked it, and he said hethought it was tactless to ask the orches¬tra to sit there for fifteen minutes whilethe pianist played the movement.Boulez asked me to record all his pianomusic, and I did Sonatas 1 and 3. I’veplayed 2 in public but I never recorded itbecause the first record was withdrawnby CBS within about six months, eventhough it had won the Edison prize in Hol¬land. I thought it silly to make records andhave them withdrawn because theyweren’t selling, when they know perfectlywell a record like that is not going to havea big sale—it would only have a sale overa number of years. Record companieshave a sort of automatic computer cut-off:the computer tells them this record is notselling and it has to be taken out of the ca¬talog. For that reason I was always verypleased the last six Beethoven sonatas Irecorded stayed in the catalog for twelveyears—I’m still not sure why. Well, Pierre was there when I recordedhis piano sonatas; he made a few sugges¬tions, but not a lot.GCJ: The Third Sonata, which you will playat Mandel, is arranged in such a way thatmovements may be played in two dif¬ferent orders, forwards or backwards.Likewise the parts of individual move¬ments are set up to allow the performer tomake choices that will affect the form thepiece will take. Does this allow you an ex¬traordinary amount of interpretive free¬dom when playing the piece?Rosen: Oh no, it’s very controlled by Bou¬lez, that is, you have choices, but thechoices all end up with the same thing. Forexample, the first parts of Constellationcan be played in basically two orders: youhave to begin with 1 and end with 6, andin between 2345 can be arranged either4523 or 2345. In groups where he has sec¬tions with the enclosed circles, with choiceswithin that particular framework—what¬ever Boulez allows you to do, he is stillcontrolling the result. In the case of Trope,there’s only one way to do it and end witha bang, so I always do that. You have atremendous end in one version if you endwith Paranthese—you get to play an enor¬mous trill and a huge crash and then youlet the pedal up very slowly, making agrowling sound with the dampers as theytouch the strings, which are still vibrating.If you don’t end with Paranthese you justhave to lift up the damper very quicklyand go on to the next piece in tempo, soyou don’t have all that fun. I always endwith Paranthese.In other words, you do get aleatoric ele¬ments in Boulez, but they are very strictlylimited. One should say this about Constel¬lation: it’s inspired by a poem of Mallarmewhich has the same kind of aleatoric free¬dom very, very strictly limited by thepoet—it’s the poem called “A throw of thedice will never abolish chance.” What Mal-lame does is arrange this sentence on aseries of pages, and around all thesevarious elements of the phrase he has ar¬ranged a lot of other phrases in differentkinds of typography like constellations onthe page. That means you can read someof these in a slightly different order, withthe relation of the elements strictly con¬trolled by Mallarme because the size ofthe type will relate one group of phrasesto another, as will character types (italicsand the like). But the basic phrase goesthrough the poem like a skeleton, andholds it all together.Since the Third Sonata is not finished,Continued on page 74—FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1986—GREY CITY JOURNALMLookingfor the rightDoctor?The answer is as close as a phone call away.Whether you need emergency medical careor treatment of a nasty cold, the last thing youwant to worry about is where to finda good doctor.That’s why we have develop¬ed The Physician ReferralNetwork, a comprehensivereferral service and listingof physicians close toyour home.

Reagan and Schultz met withSavimbi and offered strong moral supportin his struggle against Angola’s Marxistrulers. The administration ruled out anyovert aid at this juncture arguing that suchaid would undermine its "diplomatic initia¬tives” in Southern Africa. In the meantimeReagan called for covert aid to Savimbi.One-time liberal Claude Pepper (D - Flori¬da) went ever further. He introduced legis¬lation in Congress to provide $27 million in"humanitarian" aid to Savimbi apparent¬ly in an effort to woo his Cuban exile con¬stituents who oppose the presence ofCuban troops in Angola. Fringe conserva¬tives like Jesse Helms (R - North Carolina)were, predictably, not satisfied with suchbland measures, in July, 1985 Helms hadspearheaded the repeal of the ClarkAmendment which, after a series of disclo¬sures of CIA misbehavior, had preventedUS aid to any side of the Angolan conflictsince 1975. Helms called for open militaryaid. Along with other conservatives healso called for a consumer boycott of GulfOil which has extensive facilities in Angolaand continues to maintain cordial relationswith its Marxist rulers.Jonas Savimbi is the leader of UNITA(the National Union for the Total Indepen¬dence of Angola), the youngest of thethree liberation movements that allegedlyfought Portuguese colonial rule in Angola.The oldest liberation movement in Angolawas the UPA (Union of the Peoples of An¬gola) which became a member of the OAU(the Organization of African Unity) as theGRAE (Government of the Republic of An¬gola in Exile) and finally changed its nameto FNLA (the National Front for the Libera¬tion of Angola) apparently because itsounded more militant. After an unsuccess¬ful revolt in Luanda (the capitol) in 1961,its leader, Holden Roberto, escaped toZaire. There he became a political ally andbrother-in-law of the notoriously corruptMobutu, who had been propelled to powerlargely through the efforts of the CIA. CIAfunds also were made available to Rober¬to, who rapidly became the owner of achain of taxi firms and gambling casinos inKinshasa. By the 1970’s he had emergedmore as a star of Kinshasa’s nightlife thanof the liberation struggle. He managed toobtain Chinese backing, however, andwith CIA funds, maintained a well-armedforce of 15,000 regular soldiers which re¬solutely refused to penetrate into Angolanterritory.Inside Angola the major force that con¬tinued to fight the Portuguese colonial re¬gime, both at the military and the politicallevels' was the MPLA (People’s Movementfor the Liberation of Angola). Founded in1957, with considerable support from An¬golan intellectuals, the MPLA was led byDaniel Chipenda (a former inside forwardfor the Benfica soccer club and, accordingto some of his detractors, an occasionalbank-robber, -diamond smuggler anddrunkard) throughout the 1960’s. Chipen¬da was solidly backed by the Soviet Unionwhich supplied the MPLA with a modestsupply of arms. In spite of its medicorestrength, in terms of arms, ammunition,and regular soliders, the MPLA was ableto use its massive popular support to liber¬ate significant sections of Angola. In 1969the MPLA hosted an OAU observer missionthat traveled through over a hundredmiles of liberated territory — a significantdemonstration of its strength. Subse¬quently the OAU demoted theFNLA / GRAE from its status of provisionalgovernment to that of a liberation move¬ment with the MPLA.Savimbi enters this story rather late.From 1958 to 1962 he studied politicalscience in Lausanne in Switzerland. Re¬turning to Africa in 1962 he joined thePIANISTContinued from page 4Boulez doesn’t like the two movements tobe played together without something inbetween, because the two are the centralmovements of the sonata and are less dy¬namic, a sort of still center. I have playedthem together and Boulez said you shouldreally play something in between, so I’mgoing to play three Debussy etudes, thenTrope, three Debussy etudes, and thenConstellation; I do that deliberately be¬cause Boulez is extremely fond of the De¬bussy etudes—I once had to play a concertfor Boulez in which I was supposed to playhis music and music that has influencedhim, and he wanted me to play the De¬bussy, so I’ve decided to put them on thisprogram.GCJ: And the program is rounded out withChopin.Rosen: He was the most intelligent com¬poser of the nineteenth century. I’ve FMLN and soon became Roberto’s "foreignminister.” In 1964 he split with Roberto,ostensibly over the FMLN’s Chinese ties,and tried to join the MPLA which, howev¬er, refused to welcome him. Savimbi, a de¬vout Christan (though polygamist—onlyfor "political reasons" as he has often ex¬plained), now managed to generate consi¬derable support from several US andSwiss church groups. With their aid, in1966, he founded UNITA, at that time de¬voted to the cause of founding a "Black so¬cialist Angola.” Originally working fromZambia (which expelled it in 1967) UNITAtried to carry out some guerrilla activity insouthern Angola. Easily the smallest andweakest of the three liberation move¬ments, by 1972 UNITA had almost com¬pletely disappeared following a concertedPortuguese military crackdown in the twopreceding years.In the early 1970’s Chipenda’s leader¬ship in the MPLA began to be challengedand the organization went through manysplits during which the Soviet Union contin¬ued to support him. Agostinho Netoemerged as the dominent leader withinthe MPLA and Chipenda eventually joinedthe FNLA. In several ways Agostinho Netoremains one of the most intriguing figuresof recent African history. A doctor by pro¬fession, Neto was also a poet of interna¬tional renown who spent years in Portu¬guese jails for his left-wing politics andactivism in the liberation movement. In hispoetry Neto not only indicted colonialismand imperialism but also attempted to for¬mulate an idology of liberation that neces¬sarily included an end to social oppression.In 1961, during one of his sojourns in Por¬tugal’s jails, C. Day Lewis, Doris Lessing,Irish Murdoch, Angus Wilson, and John Os¬borne had written in protest to The Times(London) that "the importance of Agostin¬ho Neto in Portuguese-speaking Africa iscomparable with that of Leopold Senghorin French-speaking Africa.” Neto, co¬founder of the MPLA, went on to becomethe first President of liberated Angola —the comparison to Senghor now appears tobe a brilliant example of unintentional un¬derstatement.A man of few spoken words, Neto hadneither the flamboyant lifestyle nor thepopulist appeal of Roberto or Savimbi.Yet he gradually managed to unify thefactions within the MPLA under his leader¬ship. Ironically, he came to be known as"Moscow’s man” even though the Sovietscontinued to back Chipenda until 1974 when, after escalating US, French, SouthAfrican, and Chinese involvement with theother movements (including the presenceof Chinese "advisors” for Roberto inZaire), it resumed its supply of arms to theMPLA. Even up to this point there were nomajor ideological differences between themovements — they all favored some formof a socialist Angola though UNITA pre¬ferred a "Black socialist” one over theMPLA’s presumably non-racialist pro¬gram.By 1974 it was clear that Portugal’s em¬pire was collapsing. Britain's entry intothe EEC in the early 1970’s had deprivedPortugal of a major European tradingpartner. Portugal, not being a member ofthe EEC, faced considerable tariffs in itstrade with countries in that bloc. Its tradewith its African colonies had already de¬clined considerably and Portugual hadbeen forced into significant economic rela¬tions with the rest of Europe which em¬ployed a significant number of its peopleas migrants. The EEC tariffs could nolonger be avoided and Portugal’s economycould no longer afford the colonial warsagainst the liberation movements in Mo¬zambique, Angola, and Guinea-Bissau.Moreover, a coup on April 25, 1974brought a new regime under General Spin-ola in power, and it was gradually forcedto realize that decolonization was inevita¬ble. November 11, 1975 was set as thedate for the independence of Angola.The FNLA and UNITA which had longbeen dormant now emerged to challengethe MPLA over the control of Angola. Aprotracted war between the three libera¬tion movements now broke out ending upwith the MPLA forces on one side and anFNLA-UNITA axis on the other, later joinedby right-wing Portuguese colonists. US fi¬nancial aid to the FNLA-UNITA axis multi¬plied rapidly and both Roberto and Savim¬bi began courting South African militaryassistance. On July 14, 1975, South Afri¬can troops crossed the Namibian borderinto southern Angola where they eventu¬ally combined forces with UNITA. Netothen asked for Soviet assistance tocounter the joint South African-FNLA-UNITA offensive and was referred toCuba. By November Cuban personnel werealso present and participating in militaryaction on the MPLA side. On IndependenceDay, November 11, 1975, the MPLA an¬nounced the formation of the People’s Re¬public of Angola in Luanda, the FNLA an¬nounced the Democratic Republic in Ambriz while UNITA declared the Social Democrat¬ic Republic in Huambo.Meanwhile the US Congress, irritated bybeing continually misled by Kissingerabout the extent of US involvement in theconflict, finally passed the Clark Amend¬ment in December 1975, ending all in¬volvement in the region. The South Africanarmy suffered major reversals from thecombined MPLA-Cuban forces and on No¬vember 26, 1975 Angola was able to puton display four captured white South Afri¬can soldiers — a major blow to apartheid'sdoctrines of racial superiority. On January12, 1976, the MPLA captured Ambriz, theseat of the FNLA “government.” On Febru¬ary 8, UNITA’s capital, Huambo, met thesame fate, and by the end of March theMPLA troops had reached the Namibianborder. In a sense the liberation of Angolawas complete.Since 1976, UNITA has continued tocarry out a minor insurgency in southernAngola. It has been aided in this processmainly by South Africa and possibly byZaire, some Arab states, and China. Sa¬vimbi has also opportunistically changedhis “Black socialist” stance in an attemptto woo US aid. He has also defended histies to apartheid. "I am absolutely with¬out remorse that I have dealings withSouth Africa,” he claimed in 1983. “Theyare the only real military and economicpower in the region.” South Africa’s inter¬est in destabilizing Angola is obvious. Lib¬erated Angola provides the Namibian lib¬eration movement, SWAPO (the SouthWest African People’s Organization) witha natural base for operations. Over thelast decade SWAPO and its army, PLAN(the People’s Liberation Army of Namibia)have begun to pose a significant militarythreat to South Africa’s continued illegaloccupation of Namibia.Since 1980, South Africa has invadedAngola at least eleven times, on occasionusing napalm and phosphorous against ci¬vilians. Ostensibly these attacks areaimed at SWAPO guerrillas but Namibianrefugee camps and Angolan civilian andeconomic targets have routinely been sub¬ject to indiscriminate attacks. MeanwhileSavimbi’s UNITA has been instrumental inpreventing adequate Angolan controlover the southern part of the country. InDecember, 1985 when an Angolan offen¬sive almost completely routed UNITA,South African troops intervened to pre¬vent its collapse. By maintaining UNITA'sinsurgency, South Africa evidently hopesto maintain its military dominance oversouthern Africa, thereby postponing thecollapse of apartheid.With moral and (possibly covert) mili¬tary support from the US, and continuedmilitary assistance from South Africa, Sa¬vimbi and UNITA will continue to thwartany prospect for peace and stability in An¬gola. Besides the apartheid regime it isnot clear that anybody stands to gain fromcontinued violence in the region. Even fromthe point of view of the US "national inter¬est,” the persistence of Savimbi's insurrec¬tion can only be disastrous. The continuedviolence has shattered the Angolan econ¬omy. The exodus of Portuguese technicaland managerial skill in the mid-1970's cou¬pled with the destruction of the economicinfrastructure by South African attacks,brought the economy close to a completehalt by the late 1970’s. It has recoveredsomewhat since but in 1981 the GDP, thenvalued at $7 million (at current prices) wasstill 40% lower than 1973. The US is An¬gola’s largest trading partner and annualtrade between the two countries is nowwell over $1 billion. US banks have loanedmore then $350 million to Angola for theexploration of new oil fields. The collapseof the Angolan economy can only hurtthese US interests; but the sector whichcontinues to suffer most, and is likely tolose most, from the UNITA insurgency is,quite simply, the Angolan people.always played a lot of Chopin—more, re¬cently, because I’m preparing the text ofthe Norton Lectures I gave at Harvardwhich is on Chopin, Schumann and Liszt,and various other aspects of the 1830’s.Chopin’s development is a very inter¬esting one because he really doesn’t havea lot of change in his style after the age ofeighteen; he reached his very originalstyle when very young. Only at the end ofhis life do polyphony and contrapuntal el¬ements become much more overt—veryclose to the music of Bach. That’s how helearned music, by practicing The Well-Tem¬pered Clavier. Outside of that he knew alittle bit of Beethoven, but probably nottoo much Mozart; but the influence of Bachwas very great, it was the one he acknow¬ledged to the end of his life. The changesnear the end of his life were mainly due tohis continued study of Bach.The nocturne I’m beginning with doeshave this very elaborate polyphonic tex¬ture, ending up with playing the maintheme in trills—it’s a very original piece. I’m playing a lot of mazurkas; those werealways the most idiosyncratic of Chopin'sworks; it’s the form for which he seems tohave reserved the most personal state¬ments, and the least appreciated in histime. It was the mazurkas that used toshock people like Mendelssohn, who ad¬mired some of them but was very muchsurprised and taken aback by some of theothers—they were the ones in which Cho¬pin seemed to be really going too far forhis time. They are still not often played, incomparison with the other works of Cho¬pin; the waltzes get played more oftenthan the mazurkas, yet the mazurkas arereally a much greater achievement.I’m also playing the First Ballade; theBallades are certainly the most original ofall Chopin's large works. I always like toplay those, because there’s this thing thatgoes through a lot of the literature of Cho¬pin, that he doesn't handle large formswell. The fact is that he’s the only compos¬er of his generation who did handle largeforms easily; it's always seemed to me the silliest remark that you find in book afterbook. The Ballades are certainly the mostsuccessful large works for piano of theirtime, and each one of them is longer thanmost movements by Beethoven. The ideathat Chopin doesn't handle large formswell is terribly silly. The First Ballade is apiece I never played very much until thepast few years because I was alwaysfrightened of it, not so much technically,but how to hold it together. It’s hard toplay because of the change in mood con¬stantly throughout. It’s very interestingabove all in Chopin, that you never gowith much contrast from one mood to an¬other, at least in this Ballade; it’s all mar¬velously thought of in terms of transitions,and that is, of course, what makes it sohard to play. To keep the whole thing...al¬most floating.GCJ: But you’re not frightened of it any¬more?Rosen: Oh, I'm still frightened of it, but notto the point where I don’t want to playit!GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1986—7X^ 4 5+1 N k V t / J Tr.n °,-ft L0 ^ \//'°• i *• /< € c P o(J ^ |+ I w'3 >/0 H 2 0 Iflfi E 0 N C i 0 ‘rV-u^ «=_«'>w ^-©-^5^ *>/ <3*-^% Ti^n ~ S>7fc^jcnf jL*ui fiTU> “'^ -Hf .)!u^flJ.-rZL^rL.c.n,e> ^7 ■/— ^73 t/'TTMff V ob° ly 6 V £ r ^ 4^ ^ *- - ^ . Ifl/ch and Poor by Jim GoldbergRandon House, New York$15.95by Anjali Jotimuttu FedsonJim Goldberg has published a uniquebook of photographs. His book fl/cb andPoor documents the lives of both San Fran¬cisco transients and the wealthy trusteesof his art school. He took their pictures andthen asked his subjects to write somethingabout themselves on the photographs. It isthis combination of image and word thatmakes Rich and Poor a challenging anddisturbing book.Jim Goldberg’s collection of photo¬graphs is a work of social documentaryphotography which assumes the task of il¬luminating the lives of human beings andtheir worlds. Goldberg’s social art is alsopolitical commentary. “We are a mediaculture, and the media reflect and pro¬mote the predominant myths and storiesof our society, the myths that those inpower want to perpetuate,” he argues.“And we collaborate with the powers thatcreate and control our stories, either outof a wish to believe and share in collectivemyths, or because these myths have be¬come naturalized and invisible, thus tak¬ing on the status of truth or fact. In thisprocess we lose sight of our own capacityfor changing them, redirecting them, em¬powering ourselves.”So often social documentary photo¬graphy falls short of its aspirations andfails to affect people or channel their out¬rage into constructive action. The con¬cerned photographs are beautifully takenand reproduced. They become “high art”and lie on coffee-tables where the starv¬ing, unemployed, and passive subjects be¬come mere symbols. They are freaks—likethe people in the photographs of DianeArbus. The images do not show life-longhardships; only their momentary suffer¬ing. The photographs cease to have anypower to challenge or force change.Goldberg's photographs are radicallydifferent. Instead of presenting onlyimages, Goldberg developed his pictures,returned to his subjects and had them re¬cord their own impressions of the images.As a photographer Goldberg has not fro¬zen situations or destroyed the relentlessmelt of time, he has recorded entirestories. His portraits contain the momentsof their conception, Goldberg’s “present”,but the texts tell of past hardships and offuture hopes. This method gives theimages a history and forces the viewer torealise that these are people’s lives andthat they are still going on. The poor’s suf¬fering does not stop with the release ofthe shutter. It is clear that many of thesepeople have no hope for change.Goldberg, unlike many documentaryphotographers, also photographs the af¬fluent. He records the American Dream atboth social extremes. With directness andcompassion he reveals in sharp contrastthe fears, aspirations, and illusions ofboth groups. His photographs challengeour conceptions of both the lower class andthe upper class. The opening two photographs provide agood summary of Goldberg’s generalpoint. The left-hand page shows a over¬weight man with long hair and stringybeard wedged in the corner chair of aroom surrounded with assorted and clut¬tered objects. His sums up his condition,“This life is like a cheap sordid novel thetype middle America would like. It’s bor¬ing, I keep waiting for something to hap¬pen. I am doomed to be in this place, I haveno future”—Denis, 6/83. On the right fac¬ing page a white middle aged couplestand. They are dressed unimaginatively,and in the background is their Volvo sta¬tion wagon. “This is my life—not fancy orpretentious,” writes Robin Post. “It’s anunreal world—it isolates me...the Ameri¬can Dream. It (sic) was all carefullyplanned to be in our position. We do notallow ourselves to be shocked. We arecomfortable in every sense. This picture isnot the end. We are not stuck.” Goldbergthinks everyone is in a rut, but only thepoor realise this.Goldberg’s photographs of the tran¬sients shows them in small dark rooms. Ifthere are doors to these rooms they areclosed firmly. Even the occasional mirror,instead of opening space, reflects the shutdoors and the crowded surroundings. Inthe pictures of the poor Goldberg leavesthe windows as vague undefined spaceswhich do not show the outside.The privileged are also in their rooms—but their environments are of their ownchoosing. Often Goldberg chooses to showwhat is behind the windows, instead of let¬ting them remain bright rectangles. Thewindows open out on gardens, light andfree space. The wealthy not only have con¬trol over their houses but over the out¬side. The rich are obsessed with appear¬ances and fitting in with theirsurroundings. As they seek to createorder in their homes, they become as muchornaments as the art on their walls.By contrasting the rich and poor Gold¬berg reveals their shared human charac¬teristics. These people have illusions ofthemselves: an obese man thinks he issexy, a Chicano woman recognizes thatshe looks like she has been mugged andbeaten but insists that she is a “fantasticDorothy, A popular personality, the nicestperson in the hotel.” The wealthy too aresusceptible to such illusions—a dowagerwhose sinuous cords on her dress repeatthe pattern of twisted branches outsideher window claims that she is not a granddame, yet at the same time says, “I wasproperly brought up. To the manor andmanners born.”The affluent and down-trodden alikeshare a desire for power in Goldberg'sRich and Poor. “I am going to build an em¬pire,” says a young Black man dressedlike a cheap dandy. The single mother inher room overwhelming her child with hersize proclaims, “This is my fortress/ I havepower here.” But these poor peoples’ in¬sistence that they have power is an illu¬sion.For the well-off their wealth confers power. “I like to be attractive and dis¬tant...,” says a young woman stretchedprovocatively on a couch. “Honesty can beboring. True femininity is a great deal ofpower.” A wealthy old man holding hisyoung wife, as if she were a prop, says “Ihave power because I am a good person.You get power because people want togive it to you.”But the more interesting quotes refer tohow these people view the world and howthey fit in it. The residents of the transienthotels see everything as a “mess” whichimposes itself on them. Society and its mis¬taken conceptions are something to be con¬fronted—something which must be fought.In Goldberg’s mind, the lives he saw ex¬posed errors in what he had been taughtto believe. “I was scared of losing hope,”he says, “of giving up the American mythof being able to transcend one’s economicand social condition through hard workand spiritual understanding.”The people in the hotel were not noblesufferers. Their lives were a ceaselesssearch for a sense of self-worth and indi¬vidual importance in a society whichforced them to the back of peoples’ con¬sciousness. A young man with trousers un¬done stands in front of a poster of a mas¬turbating woman “trying to be somethinginstead of that nothing I look like.” Gold¬berg’s subjects are “sick of struggling,”as one of them comments, against a worldwhich resists changes. A young man sits onhis bed staring rigidly in no particular di¬rection, “I don’t have nothing only $10,”he writes. “I keep waiting for someone tocome in my door and give me money/Butnobody every will.” These people are pas¬sive victims of a society which affordsthem little pleasure, hope or relief.The book opens with the poor and oneexpects the second section to explain thesociety that Goldberg has shown. But hedid not find a concerned and secure upperclass, rather one which was equally full ofhuman foibles. When Goldberg asked theaffluent about how they view society andtheir responsibilities he received varyingresponses. One young woman looks at theworld through binoculars, from her apart¬ment, searching for peace of mind. An¬other woman expresses guilt for beingprivileged. Both of them avoid thinkingabout others. A woman stands in a pent¬house next to a telescope which overlooksthe city. “Poor peoples’ lives are less com¬plicated,” she says. “They do not have toworry about running such a large house,the boat needing constant repairs or ser¬vants wearing spotless white uniforms.”A young mother in a tasteful modern roomproclaims, “We are a contemporary fami¬ly. We don’t want to be a part of themasses. We want to live with style.” Thelast photograph shows a young white manin a cedar panelled room. “This is affluentAmerica,” he says. “This picture is abouthaving everything I want. I don’t have tostruggle—but I want to struggle. I wish Icould say I was interested in changing thehuman condition, but everything I see tellsme nothing will work especially if it gets in the way of my happiness.”Goldberg’s photographs and texts canstand on their own without much explana¬tion, but he rightly saw the need for an af¬terword. He refuses to be passive likemany of his subjects. The seven yearsGoldberg spent working on Rich and Poorchanged his own perspective on the twoextremes of American society. In 1977 hestarted taking photographs in the hotels.“I wanted to to find a place, to be comfort¬able within myself, and to try somehow tochange the world as I saw it,” Goldbergsaid. He admits that what he did in thosepictures “was to collaborate in creating amyth of noble poverty.”From these hotel people he went to thetrustees and photographed the wealthy.As the project developed, "I found a senseof empathy grow with my rich subjects,”he writes, “not for their excuses aboutwealth, or their actions, but for their basichuman frailties.” He began to sense thefalse superiority that “this society encour¬ages through the institution of class.”In Goldberg’s empathy lies the one flawof his work. When photographing the rich,“I tried to conform to their lifestyle, cut¬ting my hair, changing my clothes,” he ex¬plains. A photograph of Goldberg in 1977shows him wearing a black turtleneck witha mane of dark curly hair and a full beard.In 1984 he is standing next to ‘one of hisrich subjects, Harry de Wildt. His hair isshort, he is clean-shaven and he is wearingblack tie. Goldberg sympathizes with thewealthy when he could be more critical. Hedwells too much on creating the universalhuman character, where he would havebeen better off supplying more answersfor the actions of the rich.Goldberg’s own transformation from aphotographer who markets images of thepoor, to a concerned photographer whodemands change, is what makes his photo¬graphs good social art. His images andtexts are fresh statements of social andpolitical significance; his photographs area shouted condemnation, hurled with thehope that they might confront us, andforce our consciences into taking action.WHERE EVERYONE ISALWAYS INVITEDGREY uUY BRUNCHNOON SUNDAY5336 GREENWOOD APT1B8—FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1986—GREY CITY JOURNAL
