MillerStaff WriterAlthough J. Edward LaVelle, aprincipal figure in the L’Moni in¬vestment group that leases toO’Gara’s bookstore, and thestore’s part-owner, Doug Wilson,,both insist that they wantO’Gara’s where it is, negotiationsbetween the two are at an im¬passe.Two weeks ago L’Moni servedan eviction notice to Wilson andJoseph O’Gara, the other princi¬pal owner of the bookstore, order¬ing them to move Chicago’s ol¬dest bookstore out of theWoodworth building by March31st.The Woodworth building hashoused O’Gara’s for severalyears, and since the eviction no¬tice was sent on February 14th,the Hyde Park community hasexpressed overwhelmingly disap¬proval, insisting that both sideswork to keep the store here.L’Moni, by its account, hasshown through its contract pro¬posal of last July that it wantsO’Gara’s here. According to La¬Velle, that negotiable proposal of¬fered a five-year lease beginningin 1985 and running through 1990,with a gradual rent increasewhich would ultimately call forrent that is approximately 75% ofthe going rent paid on 57th Streettoday. He further claims that aheating system would probablybe installed and improvementswould be made in the store. In all,the offer amounts to “about fourtimes less” than what others arepaying on the same street now,says LaVelle. Wilson and others, though, dis¬agree with this figure and ques¬tion LaVeile’s estimation of rentson 57th Street. One local real es¬tate authority gives a figure of7-12 dollars per square foot. Ifthese figures are correct, ob¬serves Wilson, it would be impo^sible for LaVelle to ask for a rent“four times less” in 1990.In fact, Wilson claims that La¬Velle is asking much more thanthat. “If we accept this offer”, hesays, “we will have to pay $60,000more” than if they were to stickto their present contract, whichdoes not expire until 1987.Referring to the 1990 rent thatwas offered, Wilson says that hewould wind up paying twice asmuch as he does now. LaVelleadmits this, saying that the pres¬ent rent “would double in the fifthyear” of the plan. He adds, how¬ever, that this is due to the “ex¬tremely low” rent they now pay.Another issue related to rent isthe question of building mainte¬nance and heating. LaVelleclaims that he “has responded toproblems” made known to him,but has “not received any list”enumerating all the problems. -' However, Rebecca Janowitz,the lawyer representing Wilsonand O’Gara, says that she has infact given LaVelle “a specific listof simple and modest repairs”needed.One improvement sought is aheating system, which LaVellesays his group will install. Whenthis happens, O’Gara’s will paytheir own heating bill. Wilson isconcerned, though, because hebelieves the installation would re¬ quire extensive duct work, and hesaid LaVelle has hedged on this.LaVelle says he has “not yetconsidered any duct work beingdone in the store. Janowitz. how¬ever, claims that she received aletter on July 15th which said thatall duct work would be “paid forby you”, meaning the owners ofO’Gara’s.A third issue pertains to themajor breach of O’Gara’s leaseagreement. As stated in para¬graph three of the contract, “thelessee cannot sublet...without theconsent of the leasor . ” Presentlythe third floor apartment ofO’Gara’s is occupied by twowomen, a flagrent breach of con¬tract by the owners, according toLaVelle.Wilson admits that he sublets,and calls the point “a legitimatecomplaint.” He states, though,that the apartment has been sub¬let for years, and “no one ever ob¬jected before.” Janowitz thinksthat it is “not a serious breach ofthe lease”, and others doubt thatit justifies the eviction notice.LaVelle upholds the validity ofthe notice on the basis of thisbreach. But he said he believes,as do most people involved, thatthe crux of the issue is the rent.LaVelle said he feels that hisgroup’s offer is equitable and ne¬gotiable, and says that he has re¬peatedly scheduled meetingswith Wilson and Janowitz thatthey have ultimately cancelled.Janowitz acknowledges this,but counters by saying that shehas yet to receive a responsefrom George Spataro, L’Moni’scontinued on page elevenStudents and Faculty react to report on minority affairsBy Marcia LehmbergStaff WriterA report on “Black Enrollmentat the University of Chicago”compiled by the Faculty Commit¬tee on Minority Concerns shows asignificant decline in black en¬rollment between 1976 and 1983.The report investigates enroll¬ment, admission and retention ofblack students in the Universityand makes recommendations tothe U of C.The study which led to the re¬port was begun in 1983, when thecommittee reviewed minority en¬rollment statistics. The commit¬tee was considering how to bringminority students to the Universi¬ty as part of the development of aminority fellowship program.According to the report, the re¬view of these statistics revealed“a dramatic decrease in blackenrollment between 1976 and1983, while overall minority en¬rollment at Chicago over thesame period was on the rise.”The report cites that further in¬vestigation showed a 36 percentincrease in the total minoritypopulation at the University be¬tween 1975 and 1984, but a 27 per¬cent decrease in black enroll¬ment during the same periodFor the College, the committeerecommends that the Office ofSpecial Programs, a link betweenthe University and inner-cityhigh school students, be more ef¬fectively utilized to attract blackstudents. It makes the same recommendation for three other pro¬grams which involve the Univer¬sity and public school students. The report also mentions theneed to keep attrition and reten¬tion records, and it suggests thatU of C continue the Summer Mini-University program, which wasimplemented in 1985 to help stu¬dents from inner-city Chicagohigh schools prepare for theirfreshman year at the College.For the Graduate Divisions, thereport recommends that the re¬cruitment of minority students bemore centralized, and that gradu¬ate minority students be trackedover the next three years in orderto measure the University’s suc¬cess in graduating minority doc¬toral students.The suggestions for the profes¬sional schools include the exami¬nation of financial commitmentsto and outside funding sources forblack students, the tracking ofthese students for the next threeyears, and the formulation byeach school of a specific programto increase black enrollmentThe final recommendations bythe committee are directedtoward the University as a com¬munity. The committee recom¬mends the continued organiza¬tion and development of anAfrican and Afro-American Stu¬dies program, the development ofthe student-proposed “BlackSpace” program, and the contin¬ued publication of a resourceguide for black students. It is alsorecommended that the commit¬tee of Security Department offi¬cials, OBS representatives, andUniversity officials, which wasformed to prevent conflicts between black students and members of the Security Depart¬ment, continue to meet.Although the report is primari¬ly concerned with black studentenrollment, recruitment, and re¬tention, it also mentions the lackof minority faculty at the Univer¬sity. According to the report, asBy Odilon CouzinStaff WriterLarry Bloom, the fifth ward al¬derman, may not run for a thirdterm next year because of a$170,000 debt he incurred duringhis run for the State’s Attorneyseat last fall.Bloom, a U of C alumnus whohas been the fifth ward aldermanfor seven years, is an indepen¬dent politician, although he isusually supported by MayorHarold Washington. He repre¬sents an area emcompassing allof the University proper andmuch of the off-campus popula¬tion.In 1981, the ward map was re¬drawn, splitting Hyde Park intwo and making the fifth ward al¬most 75 percent non-University.This, Bloom said, makes it al¬most inevitable that “the next al¬derman of the fifth, if it’s not theincumbent, will not be from HydePark but from South Shore,” andhe or she “may not be as familiaror sympathetic" with the Univer¬sity community.Several community leaders ex¬pressed support for Bloom. Jon¬athan Kleinbard, vice president of October 1985, thirteen, or onepercent, of the 1,158 full-time ten¬ure-track faculty at the Universi¬ty are black. The committee con¬siders this a serious problem bothin itself and in attempts to attractblack students to the University.For Dolores Norton, associatefor University News and Commu¬nity Affairs, commented.“Whether Bloom is supportive(of the University) or not, at leasthe understands the neighborhoodand the problems that face theUniversity., and that understand¬ing is important.”Fran Grossman, the executivedirector of the Hyde Park/Ken¬wood Development Council, said,“I don’t always agree with him,but I respect him even then.”Grossman added that Bloom“has made a serious, concentrat¬ed, and able effort to representboth the South Shore and HydePark ”Frances Bentley of the HydePark Chamber of Commercecharacterized Bloom as “inter¬ested, concerned and very cooperative.”The University population isanother issue: as one second yearstudent commented,’’...probably90 percent of the students don’tknow who their alderman is.” InHyde Park, the students are“part of the community,” Klein¬bard said. “There’s a differentethos at the U of C than at, sav.Yale. At Yale, there really is that professor in SSA and chair of thecommittee, “the strength of thereport is its very specific recom¬mendations.” She said that “wetried very hard to work with theoffices the recommendationswere being made for.”continued on page elevensort of ‘town and gown- exis¬tence ”“I don’t think students knowhow much power they have (asvoters),” Bloom said.

The Thetasare planning to form the colony in the begin¬ning of spring quarter, added Margie Thom¬as. Chung and Thomas are both third-yearstudents in the College and are co-coordina¬tors of this new sorority effort.According to Thomas, only a tentativetimetable for the formation of the new so¬rority has thus far been worked out. TheThetas’ national vice-president for develop¬ment, though, will definitely be on campusThursday, March 6, to speak informallywith students interested in the sorority.Early next quarter the Thetas will pres¬ent an information session. Chicago alum¬nae of the sorority will then conduct inter¬views the following day. After theinterviews, the Thetas will host a pledgeceremony and welcoming party for the newmembers.“I am really excited about this,” statedThomas.The sorority organizer said that the soror¬ity’s official schedule will be disseminatedby Kappa Alpha Theta’s headquartersthrough campus media later this quarter.When will the colony become an initiated chapter? “Optimistically, in the very end ofspring quarter. Realistically, early fall of’86,” Thomas responded.The minimum number of pledges in a so¬rority colony is usually twenty-five to thirty.When asked if there is enough interestamong female students for a second sorori¬ty, Thomas answered: “I don’t see anyproblem getting the requisite number ofpeople. There is a lot of interest in sorori¬ties.”Julie Pekarek, president of U of C’s sole sorority, Alpha Omicron Pi (AOPi), con¬curred: she asserted that there is “definite¬ly” enough interest for two sororities oncampus.Pekarek, a second-year student, did notthink a second sorority would rob AOPi ofpotential members: that would be “a badway of looking at it. I don’t think anybody iseven thinking things like that.”The AOPi president added, “the twogroups will probably be different and proba¬bly attract different types of girls.” (“Al¬though when questioned, Pekarek could notelaborate on how the two sororities would bedifferent.)“AOPi wishes them the best of luck, andwe look forward to having them oncampus,” concluded Pekarek.Like Pekarek, Peg Crawford, who is theinternational president of AOPi, had onlypositive words for the establishment of asecond sorority. Crawford, a research assis¬tant in the University’s Medical Center,played an important role in last year’s for¬mation of the AOPi chapter here. “Themore interest we have in the Greek system,the more contributions we can make tocampus life,” she said.The establishment of a Kappa AlphaTheta chapter could even help AOPi: “It isalways better to have more women involved(in sororities) so that it is easier to establishyour place in the life of the University,”Crawford asserted.Sororities have had no “place in the life of the University” of Chicago up until very re¬cently. The absence of sororities on thiscampus may have been due to the negativestereotype, accurate or not, of thesegroups.Thomas was asked if she thought a Thetachapter here would be a stereotypical soror¬ity. “That depends on your perception of asorority, but I don’t see this as a selectgroup of beautiful, rich women workingtowards an MRS degree!”, the sorority pro¬moter responded.Why not? “I think U of C students aremuch more independent and career-orient¬ed. This will be a unique opportunity for agroup of women with common interests towork and grow together while improvingtheir organizational and leadership skills.Of course it will promote social activities aswell,” Thomas explained.The University will probably not hinderthe new sorority’s efforts. Ralph Hamilton,assistant dean of students in the Universityand advisor to the fraternities and sorori-ty(s), stated, “As with all fraternities, ourpolicy is that (if; an organization...providesa creative and positive addition to the Uni¬versity and follows University regulations,we’re all for it.”As an indication of Kappa Alpha Theta’sseriousness in forming a chapter here.Thomas stated that the sorority is “going tosend a chapter advisor to live in Hyde Parkfor the express purpose of helping the groupin its colonizing process.”Political Science to open more courses to undergradsBy Terry TrojanekViewpoints EditorThe Political Science Department expectsto place an increased emphasis on under¬graduates.Norman Nie, the department chairman,said that University officials told him thatthis increasing emphasis would take placeon a University wide level. Speaking at ameeting sponsored by the UndergraduatePolitical Science Committee on February 9,Nie said that there would be “an increase inprofessor’s energy, time, concern, andteaching activity” in undergraduatecourses.The meeting was held to allow PoliticalScience concentrators to express their opin¬ ions on the new college curriculum require¬ments and the ramifications of the Green¬stone report. The political sciencedepartment has had difficulties in providingenough courses for undergraduates. The de¬partment has lost staff and has had diffi¬culty filling positions.Another problem presented at the meet¬ing was the large size of many PoliticalScience classes. One fourth-year student.Elizabeth Macken, stated that over the lastfew years she had experienced the “privi¬lege of alienation” from many of her teach¬ers due to the inadequacies of the depart¬ment. Another student claimed that theUniversity used ‘bait and switch’ tactics bypromising them a low faculty-to-studentratio and then sticking them with the large classes in the political science department.Serious concern was expressed over the ef¬fect on the department of the proposed in¬crease in the College. Questions were raisedabout the ability of the department to hand¬le even more students.Suzanne Rudolph, chairman of the Politi¬cal Science Department in the College,pointed out that the faculty-to-student ratioat the U of C was better than at any of theUniversities’ competitors. She stated thatthe department might use graduate stu¬dents to teach discussion sections in order toalleviate the problems created by largeclass sizes. Nie pointed out that next yearthe department would be adding severalnew members. The total number in the de¬partment would be increased to 21. Another policy that would be adopted by the depart¬ment will be to open more graduate coursesto undergraduates.The committee which sponsored the talkwas formed last year because of studentcomplaints about the department. MatthewKling, co-chair of the committee along withGreg Bowling, said that the committee hasallowed students to express their concernsand to have an impact on department poli¬cy. Nie confirmed this and said the commit¬tee brought the attention of the departmentto bear on the student’s needs. A member ofthe committee, Teri Lee Ferro, stated thatthe committee has worked with othermembers of the department to produce “aconstant flow of information, both positiveand negative, to each student.”Rockefeller Memorial Chapel5850 S.

One refers tothe Israeli practice of holding the hostcountry, from w’hich terroristic acts arelaunched, responsible.The reporter states that I believed thatthis policy “has paid off in someways...forcing them (the PLO) to settle inLebanon, a very weak state.”This implies that I consider this result apositive one. The phrase “paid off” wasnever used by me. I had traced the move¬ment of the PLO headquarters from one na¬tion to another as the growth of the origan-ization itself became embarrassing orthreatening to the host state. This sequence. and other factors which I discussed, ap¬pears to have resulted in the establishmentof the headquarters of the PLO in Lebanon,which because of its own internal problems,was unable to withstand them.My discussion had to do with the relation¬ship between the Arab states and the PLO. Idid not express any opinion concerning thedesirability of the Israeli policy. It is cer¬tainly not my opinion that the establishmentof the PLO in the “weak state” of Lebanoncontributed to the resolution of the prob¬lems of terrorism in the Mideast or aidedthe cause of peace.

Freedman, MDStudents for a nuclear free ChicagoTo the Editor:Participating in a city-wide campaign tomake Chicago a Nuclear Weapon FreeZone, Students For Nuclear Disarmament(SND) is running a weekly petition table inthe Reynolds Club.While Illinois Governor Thompson hascriticized the campaign for being “stupid”and “unAmerican,” SND will be manning atable every Tuesday to acquire student andfaculty support. Vice President of SNDDave Roach has remarked, “to say that it’sUnAmerican to keep the world from blow¬ing up is a ridiculous farce.”20 university professors have been target¬ed by SND for their endorsement of the Nu¬clear Free Zone ordinance. Philosophy pro¬fessor David Malament and physicsprofessor Jonathan Rosner have alradygiven it their official support. Physics pro¬fessor Sidney Nagel, SND’s faculty advisor,has also endorsed the ordinance.Sponsored by Alderman David Orr (49)and Bernard Hansen (44), the ordinancewas introduced to the Chicago City Councilon January 16. It is currently being re¬viewed by the Committee of Economic De¬velopment. The proposed law would prohib¬it “the design, production, deployment, launching, maintenance or storage” of nu¬clear weapons within the city of Chicago.Specifically exempted from the ordinanceare basic research and writing or publish¬ing of academic papers (covered under thefirst amendment).The ordinance would serve to make Chi¬cago the largest legally binding NuclearWeapon Free Zone in the United States.There are currently 110 localities through¬out the country which are Nuclear WeaponFree Zones consisting of over 10 million peo¬ple. A number of cities and countries aroundthe world are also Nuclear Weapon Zonesincluding the city of London, much ofEurope and Japan and all of New Zealand.Efforts in the city are coordinated byClargy and Laity Concerned (CALC).

COLUMNPurdue nudies bannedBy Ken ArmstrongAssociate EditorPurdue University, West Lafayette, In¬diana. Normally, it’s a sedate school in a se¬date town in a sedate state.Normally.Occasionally, however, the students for¬get their sedatives. Or the pills have an ad¬verse reaction. Or someone slips them aplacebo.And that’s when funny things happen.On one strange night two years ago thestudents tripped into an enormous riotwhich made the front page of the New YorkTimes. Now, a riot in and of itself may notbe so strange. With issues like apartheidfloating around it might even be deemed de¬sirable by some people who wish the 8 in ’80swould lose half a loop and we could returntwo decades.But Purdue had no such romantic aspira¬tions. The riot, you see, had no reason; itwas an effect without a cause. A block partyhad simply drank too much and needed toexpand its belt a few notches. Then itbelched and got rowdy.More important for U of C purposes, how¬ever, is what happened at Purdue fiveweeks ago. The school’s rough equivalent ofthe Lascivious Costume Ball, the CaryQuadrangle Nude Olympics, had been un¬ceremoniously canned by President StevenBeering. Whereas the U of C seems to betaking the L out of the LCB, Beering justdismantled the whole thing.Or so he thought.Turns out the students had another idea.They actually got angry. When Beering con¬tinually threatened disciplinary action, theythen got indignant. They laughed at his ri¬diculous task force upon which he had basedhis decision. They called him a tyrant.Then, best of all, they rebelled-student in¬subordination, academic anarchy.To begin with, the dormitory next door toCary Quadrangle ran its own scaled-downNude Olympics. Twelve students, a self-de¬scribed “dirty dozen,” stripped and rannude around their residence hall. After therun was over, its organizer’s exhibitionismincreased 50 percent when he then dis¬played his crystal ball by saying, “Somepeople think this is a challenge to the Quadto have their Olympics. But I don’t think theQuad needs a challenge; they’ll have theirOlympics anyway.”Twenty-four more hours proved himright. Early the next day, the dorm’s stu¬dent council passed by a 31-2 vote a recom-medation disavowing the University’sorder. Then that night, starting at the tradi¬tional midnight, 60 nude runners began theextended race around the outdoor track. Even though there obviously could be nopublicity for this year’s event, it still mus¬tered 2,000 spectators who cheered the par¬ticipants on with such chants as “Free theQuad,” “Communists rule” and “Beeringhas no nads.”Well, not all the spectators were cheering.Seems that two members of the Universi¬ty’s safety and security staff had been sentto take pictures of the runners for futureidentification. (If the runners would haveworn masks, the ID process would havebeen priceless.)At the event itself, three students were ar¬rested, including one freshman chargedwith public intoxication and assault who al¬legedly had stumbled into the Purdue chiefof police, and then - failing to realize hisidentity, punched him in the face.And where was Beering? Well, remini¬scent of Ronald Reagan he just slept. (Atleast Nero had the imagination to fiddle.)And the fallout? Well, Beering did keeptrue to his threats. Participants were iden¬tified, called into the Dean of Students Of¬fice, and varying degres of discipline werethen levied. To this point at least one stu¬dent has been suspended from the Universi¬ty, several were put on probation and evenmore were booted from the dormitory sys¬tem.Beering, however, lost the battle in everymaterial sense. His strong-arm tacticsalienated and embittered an otherwise pas¬sive student body. Faculty grinned. Beeringwas subjected to a well-deserved barrage ofcriticism, notably from many alumni (inthe admistrative dictionary “alumnus”means “money”). One former student bodypresident wrote Beering an open letterwhich largely typified the response, writ¬ing, “I propose you be beaten like a dog foryour cowardly attempt to make Purduemore boring than it already is.”That same week, while he was in a boardof trustees meeting, someone attached aswastika to the hood ornament of Beering’sLincoln.And, in blissful irony, the very eventwhich Beering wanted to squash largely be¬cause of the image it projected now wassplattering the national news.

At Sunday’s dress re¬hearsal, all the contestants previewed theirlip synch performances. Madonna (AndrewBilcik for Blackstone) and the Supremes(Jane Hardick, Sujata Roy, Alexandra Bo-zovich for Lower Wallace) turned in partic¬ularly exceptional performances in re¬hearsal. John Scott, SAMS Special EventsChairman stated, “I honestly didn’t expecttheir performances to be this good... they’regoing to put on a good show.”In addition to fine performances, the con¬testants have been raising donations. AdamAnt (Todd Packer, Upper Rickert) held ajump rope pledge marathon in the Wood¬ward Court Dining Hall. Packer asked forpledge donations as he jumped rope duringAdam Ant albums. Packer refused to revealhow much he raised, but he did jump ropefor over an hour and fifteen minutes. WhenBloomcontinued from page one asked to comment on his fundraiser, Packerstated, “the ‘MS’ does not stand for ‘my¬self’.”Madonna has also raised over $200 in do¬nations through various Blackstone activi¬ties. Bruce Springsteen and his E StreetBand (Tony Castilli and friends of Cham¬berlain) donated the receipt of popcornsales at Doc Films. Chamberlain raisedover $100 in popcorn sales which will countas votes for Springsteen.SAMS hopes to raise $2,500 total donationsby the end of the Rock Alike. SAMS Presi¬dent Stuart Weinroth stated, “Two monthsof planning, organizing and arguing havegone in to put the Rock Alike together...theparty will be good.”<But Bloom’s campaign debt is still hang¬ing over his head. “My plan is to try to pay itoff as quickly as possible,” he said. “Theother alternative is just to quit and...devotemy time to being a high-priced lawyer.” “I think it’s up to the business communityand citizens of the fifth ward to help raisethe money,” Grossman said. “If it’s justmoney, that would be a tragic reason to losean able alderman.”THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGODEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHYandTHE DIVISION OF SOCIAL SCIENCESpresent aSymposiumonNew and Continuing Interests in Geographical ResearchSpeakers:Monday, March 3rdWILLIAM A.V.

GeneralFoods, the maker of Kool-Aid, de¬clined to sponsor the event, com¬menting it will not sponsor anyevent in which its product is usedin any manner other than was in¬tended, i.e. ingestion. “Peoplesay that we at Harvard don’thave enough fun here,” saidsophomore Richard Borovoy,“but this is the sort of wacky funthing to do that this has that intel¬lectual flair that everyone alwaysseems to worry about.”THE HEAT IS ON...Some of Northwestern’s dormswere hot, and I mean hot. Howhot was it? According to TheDaily Northwestern, the averagetemperature at one dormreached 90 degrees last week.The heat made the living situa¬tion “completely unbearable,” College Newscomplained one resident.“Everyone was sick, and theextreme heat didn’t help,” saidNU pre-med Allen Small, “it’scold and flu season, you know.”The only relief the students couldfind was to open the windows ofthe dorm to the Moscow-like envi¬ronment of February in Chicago.Not every denizen of the dormwas complaining about the heat,however. “The cockroaches real¬ly enjoy the climate,” stated Mi¬chelle Poust, a freshman at NU,“Ever seen a roach sweat?NEWS FROM CHEESE-LAND...The Wisconsin-born actor whoportrays Burger King’s “Herb”doesn’t want to be taken at facevalue and he especially doesn’twant his nerdy character to re¬flect poorly on Wisconsin, reportsThe Pitt News. Jon Menick com¬plained that people judge Herb byhis looks before they get to knowhim.The folks in Menick’s home¬town of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin,who do know him, gave Menickthe keys to the city at a home¬coming on January 29th. Menickalso said he was the one whourged that Herb be identified asbeing from the Dairy State.Menick says he wants the naiveand nerdy Herb to display themoral values and humor helearned growing up in Wisconsin.He said, “Wisconsin has a greatsense of humor - except maybe inJanuary.”CORPORATE ETHICS...A student group hoping to en¬courage seniors to investigate thesocial policies of companies re¬cruiting at Harvard will distrib¬ute a pamphlet outlining the ethi-cal records of some 20coporations to recruitment candi¬dates.According to The HarvardCrimson, the 14 page booket states, “Just as other institutionsare held accountable for the so¬cial implications of the activites,so too must be corporations.” Thecompany profiles include such in¬formation as corporations’ in¬vestments in South Africa, viola¬ tions of environmental andoccupational safety laws, andperceived morality (or lackthereof) in that company’s busi¬ness practices.

Broadway880-540010—The Chicago Maroon—Friday February 98 low Chicago Review activeBy Howard UllmanStaff WriterThe Chicago Review continues to publishquality fiction, poetry, and nonfiction, de¬spite a lack of interest among students anda budget crunch.“Our purpose is very much in line withmost small press magazines,” said RobertSitko, general editor of the Review. “We tryto publish fresh and innovative fiction andpoetry,” he added.The Review has been publishing its quar¬terly issues for the past forty years. It issubsidized in part by the University of Chi¬cago Humanities Division as well as by na¬tional and state agencies.“We try to push back the boundaries offiction. Since about 1980, we’ve been concen¬trating on publishing innovative and experi¬mental fiction,” said Emily McKnight, fic¬tion coeditor. Sitko added, “The Review isan outlet for established writers who wantto publish something unconventional, aswell as for new authors focusing on post¬modern issues.”The Review has been noted for the highquality of its stories, articles, and poetrysince it was founded. It has been awardedthe Illinois Arts Council’s Magazine of theYear award, the Illinois Arts Council awardfor writing, as well as numerous Pushcartand Fels awards.“We publish at most 10% of what we re¬ceive, w'hich puts us in a certain stratum ofsmall press magazines. We try to maintainhigh standards and good quality,” saidSitko. In the past, the Review has publishedthe works of many famous authors, includ¬ing Samuel Beckett, Thomas Mann, Tennes¬see Williams, William Carlos Williams,James Wright, Isaac Bashevis Singer, SaulBellow, Joyce Carol Oates, and Jorge LuisBorges.Sitko described the Review’s nonfiction as“fairly diverse.” “We’re not really in a po¬ sition to get the ‘cutting edge’ articles of lit¬erary theory, since most of those are pub¬lished in the academic presses. We do have,however, articles that range from film to lit¬erary criticism, as well as photographicessays,” added Sitko.According to Sitko, the poetry section ofthe Review publishes the “least unconven¬tional” material. He explained that ‘’We’reinterested in quality poetry. Oftentimes po¬etry submissions fit more readily into thetraditional formats, such as sonnets andodes.”The Review has a circulation of approxi¬mately 1500 subscribers, which is fairlylarge by small press standards. It is staffedalmost entirely by volunteers.Recently, the Review has had difficultyattracting students, especially graduatestudents, to its staff. In the past, the Reviewwas largely staffed by graduate students inthe English Department.“I’m really surprised that the interest(among graduate students) isn’t greater,”said Sitko. McKnight added that ‘’workingfor the Review helps you develop a criticalsense, and it shows you a spectrum of whatpeople are writing about now.”“We’re always looking for people,” addedMcKnight. She explained that “the Reviewis especially interested in graduate studentvolunteers because of their critical abilitiesand because they are here for severalyears, lending the Review some contin¬uity.”The Review has also had to face fundingdifficulties. “Money is a problem for anysmall press publication,” said Sitko. “About70% of our support comes from the Univer¬sity and foundation grants. The rest comesfrom subscriptions. This year, gettingenough money has been particularly diffi¬cult,” he added.To alleviate budget problems, the Reviewis applying for several grantsSGAC hosts video danceThe Student Government Activities Com¬mittee (SGAC) is directing a “pop-urban-contemporary” video dance tonight in Bart¬lett Gym.The dance, which is free to University stu¬dents, features four hours of continuousvideos on two 19 and a half foot screens andstarts at 9:30 pm. The Student GovernmentFinance Committee is funding the event.As an added attraction for students to at¬tend, SGAC is raffling off 20 albums, donat¬ed by Warner Bros, record company, asdoor prizes. Students will receive a raffleticket upon entering the gym.According to Raj Nanda, SGAC co-chair¬ person, the video dance was originallyplanned for last quarter. Because of a Uni¬versity police limiting the number of timesBartlett is available for non-athletic events,the committee was refused the use of thegum. The Student Activities office decideswhich groups may use the building in agiven quarter.The University is currently convertingIda Noyes gym, which formerly housedproductions like the dance, into a movie the¬ater. The theater floor will slope, making itpossible to ever hold such events in itagain.contactLENSESOUR REGULAR PRICE30 day extendedwear lenses$2495son \i \ 11 \m> h\i sen \\i>I.OMB <>\l.\ .

Committeemembers also bring in issues they have ob¬served. Once the committee works on aproblem, it is frequently able to implementits decisions almost immediately, due to theposition of its members.To date, the Hassles Committee has de¬veloped a system by which registered stu¬dents can receive loan checks before theyhave their validation cards, and hasstraightened out problems encountered inthe Mailroom, billing, financial aid, etc. It has also worked with local banks to ar¬range a way for entering students to drawmoney needed to pay rent and other ex¬penses before the obligatory 10-day checkclearing period ends. Also, upon the com¬mittee’s recommendation, a professionalwriter reviews student mailings.The committee is currently attempting tostreamline the registration process, smooththe way for students who wish to studyabroad, and investigate the feasibility of ex¬tending hours at the Bursar’s office.Loevy said that no responses were madeto a request for issues made in the Februaryedition of Bulletin Board. He remarked that“The committee is pleased to see that nohassles exist on campus.”By Mike FitzgeraldStaff WriterStudents who have complaints aboutbureaucratic or administrative issues canmake a difference in the status quo bybringing problems to the U of C HasslesCommittee.The committee was created by former As¬sociate Dean in the College Richard Taub inAutumn Quarter of 1983. It consists of repre¬sentatives from the various offices that dealwith students in the College.The representatives include Herman Sin-aiko (dean of students in the College), Ed¬ward Turkington (associate dean of stu¬dents in the University), Dan Hall (dean ofWhen questioned about whether these of¬fices have the monetary resources neces¬sary to carry out the recommendations,Norton said that she felt it was a matter of“making better use of the money alreadyspent.” She mentioned the new affirmativeaction plan at the Law School, which wasbegun in 1984-85 and is responsible for a si¬zeable increase in black student enrollmentthere, as a good example of improvement inblack enrollment without great expendi¬ture. The plan includes a three-phase pro¬gram of recruitment, admissions, and fi¬nancial aid.Deborah Summers, assistant Dean of Stu¬dents in the University and a member of thecommittee, was also unsure about whethermoney was the most important issue. Shesaid, “I don’t know if money is going tomake a difference. The situation goes muchdeeper.”Summers mentioned that the different ac¬ademic units of the University have dif¬ferent problems with black enrollment. Shesaid that while “graduate students aremuch more dependent on specific faculty”,there is “the issue of money in the College.The College is going through changes.”Cynthia Washington, president of OBSand a member of the Subcommittee on Mi¬nority Student Recruitment, said that sheagreed with the report’s recommendations,but she did not know if the University has admissions and aid), Katie Nash (assistantdean of students), Alicia Reyes (associatedirector of College aid), Lory Weaver (thebursar), Michael P. Kocelko (assistant bur¬sar), Everett W. Osborn (director of theLoan Center and associate bursar), MaxineSullivan (the registrar), Ralph Hamilton(director of Career and Placement Ser¬vices), Katherine Karvunis (assistant to thedean of the College), and Steven Loevy (as¬sistant dean and committee chair).The committee meets twice a month todiscuss campus problems. “We are not hereto create new programs but to streamlineand re-adjust existing ones,” said Loevy.“We work out bugs.”the resource necessary for them. She statedthat “It is going to take a lot of money, time,and effort.”Washington was also concerned with theissue of minority faculty. When asked if thelack of minority faculty is a serious prob¬lem, she replied “Definitely. Just as far asrole models, there aren’t any and that is soimportant.” She noted that having moreblack faculty would make a significant dif¬ference in the recruitment of black stu¬dents.Jesse Goodwin, a member of OBS, saidthat “More black faculty would be a step inthe right direction. (The present situation)puts a little pressure on black students.” Hewas disturbed by what he saw as “a lack ofconcern” on the part of the administrationtoward hiring minority faculty, and heagreed with Washington, stating that with¬out more black faculty “they can’t expect torecruit more blacks.”Both Goodwin and Washington werepleased with the further development of theAfrican and Afro-American Studies pro¬gram suggested by the report. Washingtonremarked that in her experiences with pros¬pective minority students, “One of the firstquestions people ask” is whether the Uni¬versity has such a program.One section of the report states that “FewChicago or other inner-city high schoolshave the rigorous college preparatory cur¬ riculum that leads to high achievement testscores even though some of the studentsmay be gifted. The College must continue toaggressively identify and recruit the aca¬demically superior student, but should alsoexplore the possibilities of extending oppor¬tunities to a group of perhaps capable, butless well-educated students.”Summers and Norton both realized thatthis statement could be considered demean¬ing to black students. Norton said that theidea behind it was to create “a larger pool ofqualified applicants,” and Summers feltthat the statement would have been moreaccurate if it had said “less well-preparedrather than less well-educated.”However, Washington and Goodwin as¬serted that there are many qualified blackstudents. While Washington agreed with therecommended utilization of the University’spublic school programs for recruitment ofblack students, she stated that “There are alot of very qualified black students whowould do well here, but they aren’t attract-O'Garascontinued from page onelawyer, to whom she wrote on February20th.

And many are worried that if a settle- ed to this school” because of the lack of fi¬nancial aid and additional programs thatthe students find at other schools.According to Goodwin, “There areenough black people who are smart enoughand talented enough to make it at thisschool, but they just aren’t reaching them.”He suggested that the University should “gointo more of the public schools. Recruiterswould have to give black students a littlemore attention.”There were differing opinions about thereport’s purpose and whether it would leadto an increase in minority recruitment andenrollment at the University. Norton saidthat the committee wanted to “see if theUniversity is really concerned. (The pur¬pose of the report) is to put the candid, dis¬tressing facts before the University commu¬nity and urge them to do something about it,not just urge them, but also to make recom¬mendations and find things that could bedone.”ment is not reached, it would be difficult forthe bookstore to remain in Hyde Park.Fran Grossman, who head the Hyde Park-Kenwood Development Corporation, saysthere is “limited commercial space” in thearea, and this could make it “difficult to finda place” for O’Gara’s to relocate in theneighborhood.Minority Affairscontinued from page oneThe University of ChicagoOrganization of Black StudentspresentsAGOSPELCELEBRATIONFeaturing Outstanding” Choirs from the Chicago AreaFirst Trinity Baptist ChurchThe True Spirit Gospel QuartetSt. Mark’s Inspirational ChoirBerean Baptist Church • William Brader ChoirFRIDAYFEBRUARY 28,19867:30 p*m»Rockefeller Chapel5850 Woodlawn Ave.Donation $2°° Hie University of Chicago Department of Mu5icpresents/Maurice Durufle:keQuiemUniversity Chorus, Motet Choir;and Women's ChorusBruceTammen andJohn Uhlenhopp, conductorsGiovanni Pierluigi Falestrina:Ml SSA BKEVjSI lSunday, 2 March, 1986 at SpmSt, Thomas the Apostle Church5472 South Kimbark Avenuec-hru t OVCM h tlu t>ukk bwkw w tht ckuvityThe Chicago Maroon—Friday, February 28, 1986—11Women's swim team takes fourth at CoeOn Friday the Maroon Women’s SwimTeam travelled to Coe College in CedarRapids, Iowa for their Conference Champi¬onship Meet.

Both the 800 free relay(Beth Anderson, Novy, and Spalding) andthe 200 medley relay (Spalding, Novy, andEllen Brown) on which Ellerbee swam tookhad a champion.Three Maroons won their weight classeswith ease. Each wrestler had an easy matchin the finals. Sophomore Landall Cormierwon 13-2 at 118 lbs, freshman Mickey Bestpinned his opponent at 150 lbs, and four-timeMCAC champion Gene Shin won by a techni¬cal fall at 190 lbs. Shin was also awarded theoutstanding wrestler award.Jeff Farewell and Quentin Paquette eachperformed well on their way to finishingsecond. Farewell, who was the third seed inthe 142 lb class, was losing 11-8 with 12 sec- fourth against tough competition fromLawrence, Beloit, and Cornell.Other high scoring swims came frombackstroker Spalding, distance freestylerAnderson, and Breaststroker Novy. FridaySpalding placed a sound third in the 100backstroke, tying the 20 year-old school re¬cord. She came back Saturday to placefourth in the 200. Anderson had a good meetplacing eighth in the 1000 free, and 11th inboth the 500 free and 200 back. Her optional1650 set a new school record of 20:18.97.Freshman Novy placed in three out offour of her individual events scoring pointsfor the Maroon’s in the 100 Breast (eighth),200 Breast (9th), and the 400 I.M.

Bachenskifinished behind two national qualifiers, asRipon’s 126 pounder was chosen as a wildcard. Carrigan, like Paquette, was unseed¬ed but had a great day on his way to plac¬ing.Coach Leo Kocher was pleased with the to the point total. After an outstanding per¬formance on Friday on the 1-m that broughther third place honors; Kivens came backSaturday to take a conference Title on the3-m away from top seed Lake ForesterErica Jensen. Though Saturday turned outto be senior Kivens’ last diving competitionwith the Maroons, she came very close toqualifying for nationals on the 3-m. missingthe cuts by only 16 points.Last weekend was the final ConferenceMeet for three seniors: Ellerbee, Kivens,and sprinter Jill Johannsen; but with con¬tinued hard work from Anderson, Novy,Spalding, and sprinters Amelia Gallitano,Kris Novak, and Ellen Brown, Coach Foberbelieves the team could do even better nextyear.Nationalsteam’s performance. “Three firsts, two sec¬onds, and two thirds is what we had in 1983when we won the tournaments. This teamcompares very well to the team that wonconference. As far as nationals go, Shin tookfourth two years ago and I’m hoping he canbe an All-American once again. AlthoughLandall and Mickey are young, they are ta¬lented wrestlers and I think that they will dowell.”Coach Kocher and the three qualifiers willbe at Trenton State for the Division III Na¬tionals on February 28 and March 1.Wrestlers send three to Division IIIBy Bill FlevaresENTER THEHigh Life.WIN (M FINALSSWEEPSTAKESYou could win S10,000 plus a trip for four tothe College Basketball Finals!Grand Prize:S10.000 plus a trip for four to the College Basketball Semi-Finalsand Finals March 29-31 in Dallas, TX5 First Prizes:SI,000 plus a Giant Screen TV to catch all the play-off action25 Second Prizes:VHS Video Recorder/Player1,000 Third Prizes:Official Al McGuire Sports BagENTER THEHigh Life.

And although they eachhope to go “downstate” or “upstate”, their dreamsare born right in their own gyms. The gymnasiumhas always been a place for dreams in our immi¬grant culture, and it must remain so today.Eighteenth century German immigrants broughtthe gymnasium to the United States, along withlager beer. And in the region where those Germanfarmers settled in the upper Midwest, the gymnasi¬um and the Friday night basketball game havecome to occupy a position that the revered townmeeting has in New England, or that dinner anddrinks at the club do in the most genteel parts of thecountry. Family, friends, neighbors, pensioners,and spinster aunts meet every Friday night tocheer on the kids, the coach and the lifestyle.In the big cities of the East and Midwest, thegymnasium has always had a saving mission. Whenthe immigrant groups arrived from Ireland, Italyand Eastern Europe, the Catholic Church in Ameri¬ca decided that all immigrant children should be educated so that they could assimilate into theAmerican culture without losing their essentialCatholic character in this strange country. Everyparish, new or old, had to build a school to accom¬plish this task. And if the parish were brand new,building the school was to take precedence over thebuilding of the church proper. Said Francis Cardi¬nal Spellman, the champion school-builder and themost powerful real estate magnet in New York,“You can always say mass in the gym.”And building these schools was no easy tasksince, by canon law, the church cannot become in¬debted to any secular authority, like a bank. Theschools had to be built by charitable contributionand volunteer labor. After feeding their children,mothers packed dinners and met their husbands atthe construction site. After working 12 hours of day-labor, mixing cement and hauling bricks for othersto lay, these husbands got to express their own con¬siderable talents and creativity, cutting the stonesand laying the bricks for the school where his chil¬dren would learn how to become Americans. Andwhen all the labor was completed, all the folk in this Dennis Chanskynew parish would gather together in the gym for aceremony dedicating the school. And on the wallthey would hang the flag of their new country andthe banner proclaiming the name of the school,which was invariably named after the patron saintof their village in the old country.And so at this time of year, when those highschool gyms become the focus of the activity of somany of America’s young people, we can only hopethat the ideals of the gymnasium are not lost. Ifhigh school players were made aware of all the tra¬dition of the gymnasium, the simple virtues of fami¬ly, neighborhood, hard work, sacrifice, and love,there would no doubt be much fewer cases like thatof Michael Ray Richardson.During the two year suspension he will have toserve, Sugar Ray would do well to spend his timenot at some trendy farm taking the cure, but hang¬ing around the gym back in his hometown. Sweep¬ing the floor for a few bucks, and getting to watchthe kids play for the love of the game, of the coach,and of their families. Maybe he could learn what hemissed the first time. They do give.second chances.You can go home again, if you want to. —DACMen's tennis is rebuildingBy Jay WoldenbergContributing WriterThe men’s tennis team is finishing pre¬parations for its first meet of the season, aneight-team invitational in Oshkosh thisweekend. Although the Maroons can boastof a dominating conference championshipin 1984 and a strong second-place showinglast year, there has thus far been under¬standable cause for concern.The Maroons lost three of six startersfrom last year’s lineup, including formercaptain Phil Mowery. “Essentially, it’s arebuilding year,” returning coach BillSimms admitted. However, those returning,including senior captain Henry Lujan andjuniors Jay Woldenberg and Clifford Ko,provide a solid base from which to build.Each claims at least one individual confer¬ence title, and Woldenberg hopes to repeathis very respectable 1984 regional ranking.Also returning is sophomore Iowan KarlStanley, who last season played the positionof seventh man with great unselfishness andteam spirit. Of the returning players, he hasimproved the most, and has clearly earned a starting spot.The probable lineup at Oshkosh lists Wol¬denberg at first, followed by Lujan, Ko, andthen Stanley at fourth singles. They will becomplimented by the best group of newcom¬ers recruited in recent years. Contendingfor the other two starting positions will beJon DeFehr, Hector Florento, Terry Tsubo-ta, and James Wu.As the season progresses, several possessthe capability to challenge the veterans forthe top spots. According to Simms, “Thisyear’s team, talent-wise, is the best we’vehad. Experience-wise, we might have aproblem.” This is especially true of the new¬comers, who clearly have outstanding form,yet have had trouble beating their more ex¬perienced teammates. Simms is confidentthat “...one or two should be able to makeup for lack of experience with pure athleticability.”Currently, the Maroons and Ripon are thetwo strongest teams in the conference.Simms concludes, “Ripon is still the team tobeat, but there’s a long time between nowand May.”TO ALL UNDERGRADUATESThe “Fundamentals: Issues and Texts" Programpresents aCollegiate Lecture in the Liberal Arts*HAMLET: THE MAN AND THE PLAYDAVID GRENEProfessor, Committee on Social ThoughtTUESDAY, MARCH 48 PMSWIFT LECTURE HALLDiscussion follows the lecture* The lecture by Maynard Mack, originally scheduledfor this time, has been postponed.

Theyare planning a semi-formal party, completewith champagne, catered food, and a liveband.The party will commence at 8:30 pm Sat¬urday, March 1 in the Pierce dining hall. In¬vitees include Pierce Residents, Piercealumni dating back to 1969, Resident Headsand Assistants since 1960, and facultyguests chosen by the residents, includingUniversity President Gray and Mr. Gray.Mr. Kenneth Northcott, first ResidentHead of Shorey House and first ResidentMaster of the Tower, will raise a specialtoast to the Tower. Each house has designed a skit reflecting its personal flavor and his¬tory. Tufts House also contributed a muraldepicting events since the opening of theTower.Refreshments and entertainment arebeing handled professionally. Floyd Bell ofEvanston is catering the varied selection ofhot and cold food items and desserts. Cham¬pagne, punch, beer, and soft drinks will beavailable. One of Chicago’s top bands, Cot¬ton Mouth, will provide music beginningaround 8:45 and continuing until about oneam, according to Gordon Williams, RA ofHenderson House, who is in charge of themusic.The entire party will cost around $5000,according to Pierce Tower Council Presi¬dent Thomas Oko. The Council and the Resi¬dent Masters, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cohen, are paying most of the bills. In addition, a $3per person charge and some CSA fundingwill help to meet expenses.The party is the grand climax to a cele¬bration which has been taking place sincethe beginning of the school year. Two spe¬cial Sherry Hours were given in honor of thecelebration — the first with Kenneth North¬cott, and the second with President HannaGray. Promotions have included free mugsor with 20th anniversary logo for all resi¬dents, logo tee shirts sold for $3.50 or $3.75,and six huge banners, also with the logo,which will be displayed on the night of theparty.The Cohens sponsored an art contest lastquarter. Entries included many sketches, amodel of the Tower made of aluminum cansand cardboard, and the winning photo col¬ lage. One of the more important anniversa¬ry-related activities has been the volunteerprogram with the Hyde Park Jewish Coun¬cil for the Elderly and the Hyde Park Neigh¬borhood Club. Response to this programwas said to be very high; participants werevery enthusiastic about what they weredoing and felt it to be a good and necessaryprogram. As Council President Oko stated,“Our celebration is different from Wood¬ward Court’s as we have had events all yearand with more student particiaptionwhereas they had one big party.”In general, student opinion is very posi¬tive. Residents are excited about the partyand happy to be participating in such agreat event. “It will be a lot of fun at theparty because we have all had a part in it. Itwill be interesting to meet people who usedto live here,” Oko commented.Resident Heads sought for next year's dormitoriesBy Sonja SpearStaff WriterThe University of Chicago House Systemis now considering applications for the posi¬tion of Resident Head for the 1986-87 aca¬demic year. Candidates must be at leasttwenty-five years of age and must be direct¬ly affiliated with the academic life oncampus so that they can advise studentsfrom experience.“You have to enjoy being with studentsday in and day out — the good parts and thebad parts,” stated Connie Holoman, Direc¬tor of Student Housing, “You must want tospend time with them. The money and thefree room and board should just be frostingon the cake.”Compensation for the job includes a smallstipend along with room and board. Resi¬dent Heads live in University Houses. Theyprovide informal guidance and counseling to the students and promote various social,cultural and athletic activities in theHouse.Speakers at an informational meetingheld on February 10 stressed the impor¬tance of getting to know students and under¬standing the “nitty-gritty” of their lives.Said one of the speakers, confrontation iseasier if you have already expressed an in¬terest in the students. “It is easier to askthem to turn down their music if you havealready told them that you like it.”Most of a Resident Head’s time is notspent enforcing discipline, however. Plan¬ning social activities is a large part of thejob. According to Van Bistrow, one of theSnell Resident Heads, “The common threadof social life on campus is food. A knowledgeof ho to make your brownie-dollar go fur¬ther is very helpful.”To plan social events it is important toKavanagh elected Maroon editorThe staff of the Chicago Maroon electedLarry Kavanagh to the position of 1986-87editor-in-chief Tuesday.Kavanagh. a third-year political sciencemajor, will succeed the current editor,Rosemary Blinn, at the end of Springquarter.

It is also important to let the stu¬dents make their own mistakes. Accordingto one Resident Assistant, “Good ResidentHeads know when to let the students planand mess up for themselves. Otherwise stu¬dents start depending on them too much.”Other Resident Heads also stressed flexi¬bility in meeting many different situationsand not becoming too hurt if things do notwork out as planned. Said Mary Fennell ofLower Flint, “The hardest part of the job isknowing that sometimes you can’t help peo¬ ple. If someone has a rough time and can’tdeal*with this place, it’s hard to realize thatit’s not your fault and it’s not theirs. Thisplace is just not right for everyone, but it’ssad because you get affectionate.” Howev¬er, she adds, “the best part is the opportuni¬ty to see so many young, interesting people— it makes us feel young.”In an average year, six to eight positionsare open for Resident Heads, according toConnie Holoman. There are usually thirty-five to fifty applicants.

Butthe strike of P-9 local meatpackersagainst Hormel’s Austin plant hasturned into the decisive labor strug¬gle of the 1980s.Throughout the last decade manycompanies have slashed theirworkers’ wages and benefits. Afteryears of swallowing such cutbacks theP-9 workers in Austin walked outrather than accept further conces¬sions. Their fightback has become themost important battle in a growinglabor upsurge against wage and ben¬efit cuts.The Austin workers have encoun¬tered opposition everywhere. TheUnited Food and Commercial Workers(UFCW), their union international, hasteamed up with the company, the Na¬tional Guard and Minnesota politi¬cians to break the strike. Ray Rogers,of Corporate Campaigns Inc., hasbeen leading local P-9's unique strug¬gle. “We think that if it wasn’t forthese obstacles,’’ he said. “This strikewould have been over long ago andwould have been over as a great vic¬tory for labor.’’Workers from all over the UnitedStates gathered in Austin on Satur¬day, February 15 to rally in supportof the Austin strike. Three thousandworkers and strike supportersmarched from the union hall chanting,“They say cut back, we say fight-back.’’ The march ended at the AustinHigh School where leaders of the anti¬concessions movement addressed thecrowd.Since the Hormel company startedoperations in 1891 it has dominatedAustin and has become the industry’sleading meatpacker. In 1984 the com¬pany reported a 41% increase inprofits, more than twice the profits ofany of the other top ten companies.These record profits have been madeat the workers’ expense. Employmentat the Austin plant dropped from4000 in the 1950s to 800 in the 1970seven as Hormel expanded its opera¬tions.In 1978 the company started tobuild a new plant in Austin afteragreeing with the old P-9 leadershipto increase production quotas, accepta two-tier wage system, and tiewages to the industry average. Thisaverage wage had been $10.69/hourbut the concessions in meatpacking inthe 1980s reduced this wage to$8.25; Hormel imposed a 23% wagecut in October 1984. Recently the com¬pany offered a base rate of $10.00,but wages are only part of theissue.The Austin plant is one of the mostefficient and profitable slaughter¬houses in the world, yet its accidentrate far exceeds the industry norms;on average each Hormel worker is in¬jured twice a year in the Austin plant,six times the industry average. Theseaccidents include severe injuries suchas amputations and a disabling wristinjury known as carpal tunnel syn¬drome. Furthermore, injured workersare likely to lose their jobs due tocompany harassment. In addition, theHormel contract proposal removedthe grievance procedure andscrapped seniority rights to overtimework and holiday pay.In the early 1980s the P-9 membersreplaced the old passive union lead¬ership with a reform slate headed bythe current union president JimGuyette. P-9 initited arbitrationwhen it learned of the Hormel con¬ tract proposal in 1983. Hormel ig¬nored the hearings and unilaterallyslashed wages in October of thatyear. The union members continued towork hoping for a settlement in nego¬tiations with the company. But fhelocal P-9 responded by hiring RayRogers and his Corporate CampaignInc. to lead their innovative fightback strategy.Corporate Campaign has becomefamous in recent years for conductinglabor union battles which extendbeyond the workplace and attack thecorporate and financial powers thatlie behind concession demands. In theAustin strike, Rogers and P-9workers have targeted the First Bank System in Minnesota, Hormel’s majorbacker.Last month Hormel began bringingstrikebreakers past the picket linesand into the plant. In response P-9strikers staged sit-ins and drovetheir cars slowly past factory gatesto block entrances. The plant is nowrunning at only a small portion of itsprevious capacity. Currently 500hogs are being slaughtered a day, asopposed to the pre-strike rate of 800per hour. Strikers also fanned outand set up picket lines at other Hor¬mel plants. Hormel operations remainshut down in Ottumwa, Iowa where878 workers refused to cross P-9’spicket lines and 600 of them havebeen fired. At the Austin rally, P-9and Corporate Campaign announceda nationwide boycott of all Hormelproducts.The P-9 struggle is just the latest ina nationwide upsurge against uniongivebacks. Nationally, workers haveformed labor support groups, unionconsultants like Corporate Campaignhave grown, and more strikingworkers in ail sectors of the economyare telling their employers that theywill accept no more concessions. Justthis week Eastern Airlines sold out toTexas Air after its creditor banks de¬manded that the company reach aconcession agreement with its unions.The Machinists Union refused such acontract.The labor movement caught conces¬sion fever right after Ronald Reaganbegan his first term in 1980. Withinmonths of taking office^ Reaganbroke the air traffic controllers union,PATCO, and fired all the strikers. Gi-veback contracts spread all over thecountry as private employers fol¬lowed Reagan’s lead. Now, five yearslater, a new labor contract is rarelyproposed which does not contain con¬cessions.These givebacks have hit particu¬larly hard in Chicago. Recent strikeshave led to concessions at the Saler-no-Megowan cookie plant, and theDanly Machine Co. in Cicero; despiteconcessions at South Side steelplants, layoffs continue. Three Chica¬go Tribune production unions walkthe picket lines today after the paperdemanded severe cutbacks in wagesand work rules. Their jobs are nowtaken by strikebearers. and the boy¬cott of the paper is having little im¬pact.The AFL-CIO and its nationwide af¬filiates have generally gone alongwith the concessions. At the union fed¬eration’s annual meeting in Bal Har¬bor, Florida last week union leadersrefused to allow Rogers or P-9 Presi¬dent Jim Guyette to address the asse¬mbly. William Wynn, president of theUFCW, denounced P-9’s fightbackstrategy and told them to give in tothe company. But P-9 seems deter¬mined not to surrender during this de¬cisive battle. “We’re talking aboutthe most profitable company in the in¬dustry,’’ says Guyette. “And they areasking for concessions. Whateverhappens at Hormel will happen else¬where, it will have a ripple effect."The major endorser of the Austinrally was a newly-formed organiza¬tion, the National Rank and FileAgainst Concessions (NRFAC). Thegroup first brought together localunion leaders and labor militants inChicago on December 6-8 to lead thestruggle against worsening wageagreements and plant closings.For five years there has been nomajor national effort to turn back theContinued on page 6P-9 striker shows his colors.

Alongher way back home Mrs. Watts is be¬friended by strangers who contri¬bute to her dream of seeing Bounti¬ful before she dies. Yet Mrs. Watts’journey elevates not only herself,but also her son, Ludie (John Heard),who sheds his apathy towards hiswife’s harsh treatment of hismother. Indeed, Geraldine Page’sperformance magnifies the soul, re¬miniscent of the hymn-singing Kath¬erine Hepburn in The African Queen.Horton Foote's script, moreover, istightly crafted, as when Mrs. Watts,reflecting on her good luck one day,remarks: “I guess the Lord’s with ustoday. Wonder why he isn’t with usevery day?” Still, Masterson’s cam¬era work is self-conscious and me¬chanical, given that most scenes areconsumed by reaction shots, as if thedirector were clueless about how totell a story with a camera.

The JealousHusband is about the attempts ofthe title character to solve his mari¬tal problems. The husband calls upthe Doctor, an almost too accuratetypification of a scholar, to help himout, and soon wishes he hadn't. Anamusing play, the wife’s fatherlooks great in what is either sup¬posed to be pseudo-drag or is a veryimaginative costume. The FlyingDoctor is the story of a valet whopasses himself off as a doctor tohelp his master fool the master'slover’s father. Make sense? Thevalet does a great job as the doctor,and he does go through a lot to pullit off. This play is good for somelaughs. Architruc is a more seriousstory about a king and his primeminister. It is more thought provok¬ing (but not heavy) than the otherplays, it’s done well and adheres tothe kooky theme. The Lesson is astrange play about an oddball pro¬fessor and one of his pupils. The pro¬fessor becomes overeager for hisstudent to learn, and the lesson endsmuch too soon for the pupil. KookyFrench Stuff is a good way to spendan evening for laughs and weird¬ness. The dance skits sprinkledthroughout the plays are as funny and as kooky as the plays. Present¬ed by Les Pie Magnets/UT.

Three yearsago, a production of this playpassed through Chicago on its wayto Broadway. It was delightful inthose days; a sort of lively adapta¬tion of Nikos Kazinzakis’ philosphi-cal novel about the daily life of anirrepressible and loveable Greekwho “lived each moment like it wshis last”, starring a veteran actor,and a sweet actress who (at least inthis country) was essentially unk¬nown. A few years later, a Broad¬way success and some one-thousandperformances have turned thisfresh, sweet musical into an enor¬mous, cancerous old warhorse, lum¬bering about the stage clumsily andmechanically, while the Sunday pen¬sioners smile in their seats. Themajor problems, it is easy to see, liein the mistakes made under theguidance of the new director, JoelGrey, who, mentioned in the pro¬gram as Production Supervisor, hastorn apart all the fine work done bythe original director, Michael Ca-coyannis. Now, instead of being alight work about the healthy philos¬ophy of Greece, Zorba has becomeone of those vehicles, in which Anth¬ony Quinn struts his dessicatedstuff, and Lila Kedrova unctiouslyemotes about a chemistry-less love.Once. Zorba was a play which con¬tained a spark of romantic spirit;today, the acting has become mosthorribly mechanical, the cast optingto dole out “crowd-pleasing”scenes, instead of any fresh ele¬ments Under such auspices, the playsuffocates, and the audience isforced to concentrate strictly on themusic, which, although in offensivewhen combined with good theatricalelements, taken alone is dreadfullymedicore.

Mary AnnLundi, Kate Kelly, and Rev. George Lockwood, theminister of two of the defendants, claimed thatbeing forced to testify violated their First Amend¬ment right to the free exercise of religion. Thethree unindicted co-conspirators are part of a rap¬idly growing network of up to three hundredchurches across the nation that offer sanctuary topeople fleeing political persecution in CentralAmerica. Kelly’s attorney, Mark D. Rosebaum, ar¬gued that her testimony would be redundant andthat “Whatever small purpose the governmentwould gain by Ms. Kelly’s testimony, it would befar outweighed by the violation of her right if shewere compelled to testify.’’ Lockwood and Lundi’sattorneys presented similar arguments. The attor¬ney representing Ms. Lopez of El Salvador arguedthat testifying would endanger her life if she wasto return to her native country. Presiding JudgeEarl Carroll did not honor the complaints, but citedthem of civil contempt.At the opening of the trial 15 November 1985,the court prohibited the use of evidence pertainingto religious motivations, conditions in CentralAmerica, US foreign policy, or international law.Judge Carroll has continued to struggle to keepany discussion of these issues, which are at the coreof the sanctuary movement, outside the courtroom.When one witness testified last month he ex¬plained that he had trouble hearing “because ofthe torture I was subjected to in Guatemala.’’ Hiscomment was stricken from the record. Chief Prose¬cutor Donald M. Reno accuses the defendants ofconstructing a “criminal enterprise’’ and maintainsthat the trial is a simple “alien smuggling case.’’Two multi-denominational groups have formedto dispute this argument. Both have filed suitsagainst the INS (Immigration and NaturalizationServices) and the US Department of Justice. Thefirst suit charges Ed Meese and INS CommissionerAlan Nelson with laws pertaining to refugees. Theplaintiffs include American Baptist Churches in theUSA, The Presbyterian Church (USA) the Unitarian-Universalist Assoc., the United Methodist Church,as well as over two hundred independent religioussocieties and committees. The complaint was pre¬sented to the District Court of Northern Californiaon 5 May 1985. The laws at issue are: 1) The Refu¬gee Act of 1980. which provides refugee status forany person “because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, re¬ligion, nationality, membership of a particular so¬cial group, or political opinion,” and 2) The GenevaConvention of 1949. which calls for the protectionof victims of non-international conflict. The GenevaConvention also includes a provision called “Civil¬ian Initiative” to be taken by individuals whentheir governments are not obeying their own laws.It is argued that the defendants in the Tucson trialhave been involved in a civilian initiative, and donot break any US laws, but are instead enforcingthem.The plaintiffs in the California suit argue that al¬though the INS now grants only a small number ofapplicants with refugee status, the laws at issue“are not a matter of discretion but constitute obli¬gatory and binding legal commitments of the Unit¬ed States which are required to be carried out in aneutral and politically unbiased manner.” Theyfeel that people fleeing El Salvador and Guatema¬la for political reasons are at a disadvantage be¬cause their home countries are allies of the US, andreceive large amounts of military aid. During thefiscal year 1984, only 2.45% of Salvadoran appli¬cants received asylum. Between October 1983 andDecember 1984, none of the 225 Guatemalan ap¬plicants received asylum. A substantially higherproportion of applicants from socialist countriesreceive asylum. In fiscal year 1984. 43% of Afganapplicants and 51% of Soviet applicants receivedasylum in the US.The plaintiffs are asking the court to issue an in¬junction prohibiting the prosecution of people in¬volved in the Sanctuary Movement and issue a de¬claratory judgement stating that the movement islegal. They also ask the court to issue an injunctionbarring the defendants from arresting and deport¬ing Salvadorans and Guatemalans, and to issue adeclaratory judgement that refugees from thesecountries are entitled to temporary refuge in theUS until situations in their own countries change.They also ask to be reimbursed for legal fees.The University Church, which provided sanctuaryfor the Gomez family from Guatemala for sixmonths, added its name to the list of plaintiffs lastDecember. Robert Jackson, a Presbyterian Minis¬ter who is active in the University Church, com¬mented on the importance of the case: “Peoplegenerally equate morality with legality. I’m glad★ a to see the churches standing up and accusing theExecutive Branch of breaking US laws. We are tak¬ing the aggressive action to bring up questionsabout the illegal actions of the current Administra¬tion. We’re no longer waiting around to getstomped on.”The office of Teresa Bright, one of the attorneysfor the plaintiffs, stated that they predict the courtwill dismiss the case. Attorneys for the plaintiffswill present an oral argument against dismissal on10 March 1986.The second complaint was filed in an Arizona Dis¬trict Court 13 January 1986. The suit charges EdMeese, Alan Nelson, the Chief investigator of theSanctuary Movement James Rayburn, and under¬cover INS agents Jesus Cruz and Solomon Grahamwith the unlawfully infiltrating four ArizonaChurches. The original plaintiffs were the four Ari¬zona churches infiltrated during the INS investiga¬tion “Operation Sojourner.” They have beenjoined by the National Lutheran and PresbyterianChurches.“Operation Sojourner,” which began in May of1984, involved the infiltration of prayer meetings,bible study classes, and other church activities bytwo wired informants, Cruz and Graham. TheChurches are asking for damages against the ac¬tivities of the two informants, an injunction prohib¬iting the infiltration of churches, and a declaratorystatement that such infiltration is unconstitution¬al.The plaintiffs argue that the infiltration ofchurches violates the First Amendment right to thefree exercise of religion, and the Fifth Amendmentguarantee against unreasonable search and sei¬zure. Arizona ministers have complained thatknowledge of the investigation has had a severeeffect on their congregations. People simply don’tfeel as free to express themselves knowing thattheir conversation might be taped by the US gov¬ernment.Investigation has revealed inconsistencies in theINS internal policies regarding “Operation So¬journer.” In June Nelson wrote a letter to a Texanattorney stating: “Consistant with past and exis-tant policy, we do not enter churches.” NeitherCruz nor Graham had search warrants before theybegan their investigation, nor had they receivedwritten permission by the commissioner, as re¬quired by INS rules. In a joint statement made by John Andrews.Stated Clerk of the Presbyterian Church, andDavid Preus, presiding Bishop of the American Lu¬theran Church, the two congregations were urgedto “see the significance of this law suit in terms ofthe trust and community that is essential for thelife of their own Christian fellowship. We also urgethat the suit not be seen as an attack by thechurches on the federal government, but as theproper use by the churches of our democratic sys¬tem: utilizing the judicial branch to test the propri¬ety of the executive branch...”Meanwhile the proceedings of the Tucson trialhave continued to spark controversey. Undercoveragent Graham was dropped as a chief witness ofthe prosecution when the defense brought to lighthis part time employment: supplying migrant farmworkers with prostitutes. Before hiring Cruz andGraham the INS were aware that they smuggledillegal workers from Mexico. Cruz remains a princi¬pal witness for the prosecution, providing evi¬dence of conversations which allegedly took placebetween the defendants in both English and Span¬ish, although he has admitted that his English is notvery good.After hearing testimony from several CentralAmericans last month Judge Carroll remarked.“People from Latin America seem to have a diffi¬culty in just answering the questions yes or no, bythe nature of tneir personal attitudes.” The de¬fense contended that the remark demonstratedJudge Carroll’s prejudice against Latin Americans.The protest was dismissed.As the trial continues, the INS has complained ofa sharp increase in the flow of undocumentedworkers from Mexico, due to the severe economiccrisis in that country. Large ranches in the US whichadvertise inside Mexico for undocumentedworkers are not investigated by the INS. Insteadknown smugglers have been paid to investigatechurches who give sanctuary to Central Americansat high risk of political persecution.James Adams, in a special communication toPresbyterian Pastors stated: “The conflict will getworse before it gets better and some of our min¬isters and personnel staff may well get sentencedand eventually incarcerated.” If convicted the de¬fendants in the Tucson trial could face up to fiveyears for each point of the forty-one point indict¬ment.GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1986—5Anjall Fad sonFrom the February 15 marcn r !>V.

Now NRFAC has pro¬mised to support the anti-concessionsmovement. The Austin strike will testtheir strength.An organization has also formed inChicago to promote labor support andsolidarity. The Chicago Area Ad HocLabor Support Committee met De¬cember 13 and vowed to “make Chi¬cago a labor town again.’’ Mark Pru-dowsky, an unemployed member ofthe United Steelworkers of AmericaLocal 15271 and leader of the group,explained the Committee’s purposeas, “Offering concrete support to anylocals in Chicago fighting concessions.We’re going to have to develop somestrategies and tactics to beat backthis wave of concessions.” Collectingstrike support funds, manning picketlines and giving publicity to fightbackefforts would ali help beat conces¬sions, the group believes. . The most effective strategies inlabor’s struggle are the mass picketsand rallies like the demonstration atthe Tribune printing plant on January4th. That rally brought out trade un¬ionists from all over Chicago to sup¬port the six month old strike of theTribune workers. For a few hours thatSaturday morning delivery trucksneither entered nor left the printingfacility, and the next day the rallywas front page news.Trade unionists in this revived por¬tion of the labor movement are ap¬preciating connections between em¬ployers and their financial backersand are turning to new strategies towin their battles. Boycotts, picketingof banks, support funds and publicitycampaigns have all become part ofthe arsenals of not only Ray Rogersand his Corporate Campaign, but oflabor struggles across the country.Just as important though, unionfightback efforts are looking to old-fashioned labor solidarity. P-9 inAustin set up picket lines at the Hor-mel plants in Ottumwa, Iowa, andworkers there refused to cross them,shutting the slaughterhouse down.Next the Austin workers are going to picket the Hormel plants in Fremont,Nebraska. Already they have a com¬mittment from Detroit and Beloit,Wisconsin Hormel workers to stay offwork if the Fremont unionists stayout.Though the walkout against Hormelmight spread to other plants, thingsare getting tough in Austin. In early "February, the city council and Gover¬nor Perpich forced the mayor, himselfa striker, to accept the NationalGuard at the plant. And then the daybefore the rally, in response to fric¬tion between the strikers and theGuard, a local judge ruled that strik¬ing workers and their supporterscould not congregate in groups largerthan six in the vicinity of the plant.But the strikers have not given uphope.“We’re close now,” says Rogers. “Ifwe can close down another one or twoof the Hormel chain of plants we canwin this thing quickly.”Just as the union movement seemedto be reaching a low point in member¬ship and activity, some labor activistsare starting to fight back. The Hormelstrike in Austin, Minnesota is theirfirst big battle. by Steve LeslieThe Austin strikers are receivingsupport from an unexpected group ofChicagoans. On February Second anew organization, Art Meets Labor,held a benefit art auction and infor¬mational meeting in support of theHormel strike. The gathering at Chica¬go Filmmakers raised $1,000 to helpthe workers’ families.Art Meets Labor was originally theidea of Dave Marsh, Bruce Spring¬steen’s biographer and publisher ofthe music/politics newsletter Rockand Roll Confidential. He brought to¬gether artists concerned with thelabor movement and progressivetrade unionists. Since its foundinglast October, Art Meets Labor hasbeen holding events in Chicago, LosAngeles, and New York. “Artists andpeople in the labor movement havebeen divided from one another,” saidone of the group’s leaders, Vicki Ca-palbo. But now we are going to findways to work together.”At Art Meets Labor’s first Chicagomeeting in October, Austin P-9 Presi¬dent Jim Guyette, Dave Marsh, andsteelworker-militant Ron Weisen alladdressed the crowd. Out of thatgathering the organization has com¬mitted itself to publishing a newslet¬ter, exchanging information, andsponsoring a continuing series oflabor support activities.As its next project the group plansto set up seminars on themes such as“Writing for the Labor Movement”and “Fiction and Labor”.The Chicago branch of the NationalWriters Union has been instrumentalin forming Art Meets Labor, but theorganization has also gained the sup¬port of the Chicago-area textile unionACTWU, steelworkers union activists,and members of the Scenic Artistsand Actors’ Equity unions.February 15 march from the Union Hall to Austin High School.

NEAT ACTINGby Laura RebeckWisdom Bridge Theatre's ambitiousproduction of Hamlet is foremost a meticu¬lously crafted piece of theater. It borderson performance art with its use of videoscreens and screen projections, and itsvarying forms of lighting (which at somepoints become props). Every detail is care¬fully wrought with an eye to its purpose.Though sometimes these purposes seemquestionable or inappropriate (a glaringexample being the use of two TalkingHeads songs), the uses are motivated bythe company’s obvious desire to producethe best in theater. In this they have ad¬mirably succeeded. From the bleeding cas¬ ket seizing the audience’s attention at theoutset to the videotaping of the aftermathof the final duel, this fearless appropria¬tion of Hamlet for modern stage bridgesthe gap which has sometimes been wi¬dened by other stage and academic treat¬ments of the text.The production has its flaws. In his dar¬ing, director Robert Falls loses a crucialsense of unity about the play: we are notquite sure if the action is biased by Ham¬let’s imagination. Generally the producti¬on appears to progress from real world tomental concepts (this is driven home in thebizarre and startling final scene), butFalls’ attempt at progression sometimesproduces conflict, notably when the Ghost appears to Hamlet in Gertrude’s bed¬room—she appears to acknowledge theGhost’s presence, but then she asks Ham¬let distractedly, ‘‘Whereon do you look?”The treatment of the Ghost and its impor¬tance to Hamlet is generally good, but thisscene confused me, and I spent some timetrying to piece it together.Whatever other problems he has, Fallsdirects his actors admirably. They takecomplete control of the relatively simplydesigned stage with great energy andconfidence. It’s almost unfair to single outany performances, but two were outstand¬ing: Del Close as Polonius and Lisa A. Dod¬son as Ophelia. Polonius has always been,to my mind, one of Shakespeare’s finestcreations, and Close takes this characterto its furthest extent, milking every wordfor its entire worth. It’s difficult to discussClose’s performance without seeming togush—it defies words. (Even that soundsinsincere.) The combination of Shake¬speare and Close, strange as it mayseem—my primary association whenthinking of Close is his status as the cre¬ator of the improv “Harold”—is a tran¬scendent one.Equally remarkable is Lisa Dodson’sOphelia. I’ve always had somewhat of aproblem with this character, as sheseemed to me somewhat vague and cover¬ing. (This comes in part from seeingMarianne Faithful's ethereal performancein the strange Nicol Williamson screen ver¬sion.) Dodson turns in a performance ofdepth and thoughtfulness. She firstbounds onstage pertly, teasing herbrother and entertaining hopes of thePrince's affections. Her transformationfrom everydayness to insanity is grippingand flawless. Her descent into madness isclearly shown in her scenes with Hamlet—she primps excitedly for him as her fatherexplains to Claudine his plan to proveHamlet’s lovesickness. When Hamlet, re¬cognizing her as Polonius’s tool and re¬senting the manipulation, brutally abusesher and nearly rapes her, we can see allthe emotions she experiences as her worldcrumbles around her. I was riveted whenshe staggered in for her mad scene,clothes a hodgepodge, hair slicked back,face startlingly painted with lipsticks andfingernails with multicolored polishes. Itwas a superior scene. It sometimes seemsthat Opheia’s complete madness is subor¬dinated to Hamlet’s pretense, as if to say,“Sure, she is pretty crazy, but he acts re¬ally crazy!” In Peter Aylward’s Hamlet,we can always sense control over the situ¬ation, but Dodson thoroughly immersesherself in Ophelia's shattered state and inthe grief and chaos governing its genesis.She and Close alone make the production aworthy one.Of course, there are other aspects thatcontribute to the production’s worth. Infact, the only weakness is unfortunately inAylward’s early scenes as Hamlet. The de¬mands of the role and of this production are such that an actor of great range isneeded. Aylward proves himself capableof this range as the production pro¬gresses—he is appropriately the mostphysically commanding presence on thestage—but he is unable to subordinate hisenergy to produce the subtlety needed forthe orderly control of the early scenes. Asa result, it seemed that he was overactingbeside Deanna Dunagan and Peter Bur¬nell’s dapper and charismatic Gertrudeand Claudius. Aylward more than redeemshimself through his unrestrained perfor¬mances, but I was initially reminded incon¬gruously of Terry Gilliam.Burnell makes a good Claudius, hand¬some and charming, but seeming perfectlycapable of murdering his brother and se¬ducing his sister-in-law. There is some¬thing snaky about him that he appears torevel in. He betrays some weakness in hisasides, which are somewhat overdrama-tic; otherwise, his Claudius is smoothly cor¬rupt and greedy, a sort of walking DorianGray degenerating into his own portrait.Dunagan’s Gertrude, at first delightedwith Jier new husband (it is easy to believeher turning from the aging elder Hamlet tohis rather glamorous younger brother),shrinks from him more and more as she re¬alizes his true character. I found it grimlyamusing that the bottle of champagne du¬tifully carried by the maid finds its wayinto the Queen’s hands, when she con¬sumes it heedlessly. It’s detail like thisthat sets this production apart from mosttheater.On the technical end. the use of the videoscreens is generally clever and appro¬priate, though they are a little overused.In making a choice between leaving thescreens blank for long stretches and find¬ing uses for them. I feel that it would havebeen preferable to leave them blank.Their presence is unobtrusive enough, andthe onstage action demanding enough,that the poor use of them in some scenesdraws attention to their inactivity insteadof masking it. The set design allowed forflexibility and maximum movement. Thelighting was intriguing and thoroughly ef¬fective. It set tones and atmosphere, andeven integrated into the props. Theguards light one another with their flash¬lights; the stagey lights in the players’show move and remove effortlessly in theactors’ hands, making them enhancing andcomplementary to the performance.I could go on forever about this prod¬uction, but it’s best not to bore you. I canonly urge you to go while the going's good(the production is unfortunately limited toa couple of weeks and it closes March 2)and encourage you to keep your eyepeeled for any further Wisdom Bridge of¬ferings. There’s no excuse not to take ad¬vantage of the terrific theater availablein this city—the North Side isn’t that far,and besides, you deserve to get out ofHyde Park. There are few betterescapes.by Paul ReubensThis was no ordinary Hamlet: this wasan electronic circus, complete with flashingvideo screens, oost-Nixonian political fig¬ures, third-world freedom fighters, andmulti-media slide shows. Most of the stuffworked very well on stage, and whatdidn’t, well, those mistakes can be chalkedup to that danger which is inherent in revi¬sionist shows such as this one: that certaingimmicks occasionally don’t mesh with thefundamental play itself. The failures are,in almost every case, outweighed by thebrilliant successes, though; ultimately, theentire production emerges as a testamentto the usefulness of innovation. Followersof the theater can rejoice in the WisdomBridge's Encore Season at the Civic The¬ater; the series has brought back the mostexciting production of last year here inChicago, if not in the country.Wisdom Bridge’s Hamlet is a Hamlet forthe technological age; the wry new stag¬ing makes the play as accessible and rele¬vant to us as it was to the original patronsof the Old Globe. Utilizing the Shake¬spearean play, written centuries ago, thisproduction somehow manages to trans¬form the poetry so that it reflects the con¬cerns and problems of the contemporarysociety; such topics as low politics, yuppievalues, alcoholism, and media hype are di¬rectly addressed in this production, evenas it concerns itself with the well-trodthemes of betrayal, incest, indecision, andvengenance. Some would criticize the Wis¬dom Bridge revival as not being classicalenough; on the contrary, this production ofHamlet is the truest form of classical the¬ater: theater which directly and perfectlyrepresents the thoughts of its audience.Behind the modernist trapings, this ismore a work of art than ever, as directorPeter Sellars showed a few years ago when he staged a new, ambitious producti¬on of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettaThe Mikado, the themes of the piece of artare the more important, and well-thoughtout alterations in staging to make thework current serve to make the impact ofthose themes all the more evident. Whathappened several years ago with The Mi¬kado, a musical written originally to sati¬rize the repressed attitudes and mores ofBritish society, was that it received a high-tech facelift at the Civic so that it accurate¬ly satirized directly the same elements ofour own time. Had Gilbert and Sullivanstaged the operetta in modern times,director Sellars and the audiences whoflocked to the show agreed, they wouldhave staged it in a similar manner as itwas produced at the Opera House.Robert Falls, the director of this prod¬uction lately of Wisdom Bridge Theater,but now the artistic director at the Good¬man, has carved for himself a worthyplace in the cultural annals of Chicago withthis production. The fact that this producti¬on can be recreated is indicative of howaudiences will clamor for a meaningfulplay, presented with image-rich visuals.And although much of the unique trap¬pings we enjoy most about this productionare doomed to be dated within a few shortyears, the recreation of this is a step inthe evolution of a classical theater: an ac¬knowledgement that in order for thegreat works of the past to survive, in anon-academic way, into the future, theymust be presented in a way to be relevantto their audience. Classical theater, themen-wearing-garters-with-the-feather-in-the-hat sort of presentation has almost be¬come an anachronism to the typicalviewer. It is all very amusing to watch, butthe ancient trappings distance us fromwhat happens on stage; these new prod¬ uctions have far more immediacy, andhence more impact than those somewhatstolid and well-used productions. It is suit¬able, then, that Queen Gertrude becomes,after all the tragedy she witnesses, a pa¬thetic alcoholic (very well played by Dean¬na Dunagan), that Peter Burnell’s Claudiusbecomes, not a proud guilt-obsessed ruler,but a small maggotty political figure, lack¬ing in all the stature and nobility of hisbrother, and that even Del Close’s fine Po¬lonius is, not the typical comedic, dotty oldfellow, but a faintly slimy EdwinMeese/James Baker “advisor”. Hence, theTalking Heads soundtrack, the televisednews conference in the beginning, theminicam-filmed finale, and the other mod¬ern surprises within.It is quite a dangerous thing to write areview of a production that is as full ofsurprises as this one is; one doesn’t knowquite where to leave off describing the show for fear of giving away somethingespecially pleasing to future audiences.Quite simply, though, one is impressed athow well this new Hamlet plays, elementshaving been juxtaposed to fit our modernsociety; yes, there is humor arising in un¬expected places within the grand oldwork, and there is laughter about it, butwhat the audiences do is laugh in surpriseand recognition of elements which, famil¬iar in the more conservative productionsof the play, are suddenly realized asbeing equally applicable to their contem¬porary lives. This new Hamlet is terriblyimpressive in that it shows us just howtimeless and how malleable Shake¬speare’s art is; it can be shaped to reflectthe foibles and problems of a society somecenturies later. This is why wisdomBridge’s Hamlet should be praised: itopens up the tale to a whole new genera¬tion of audiences.91!pfl * !i \* mmm I v\' if8—FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1986—GREY CITY JOURNAL
