TThe University of Chicago Friday, May 30. 1986Attitudes towards feminism at U of C exploredBy Craig JosephStaff WriterAfter twenty years as a signif¬icant force on college campusesacross the country, feminismstill draws support from manystudents. However, according toan article in the Chronicle ofHigher Education (“Feminismon Campuses Draws Support andScorn; Many Students in theMiddle,’’ 4/23/86). there remainsconsiderable resistance to theacceptance of even basic femi¬nist ideas.Even those students who sup¬port feminist goals often findthemselves uncomfortable withthe term “feminist.” “Femi¬nism,” says the article, “is seenby such students as too angry ortoo militant for the 80’s. Many ofthem view people calling them¬selves feminists as ‘man haters’or ‘bra burners’.Many women, who are on theroad to professional careers,though they agree with fun¬damental feminist principles,see the movement as havingachieved its goals and findfeminism irrelevant to theirlives. As the editor of a women’s-issues newspaper at UCLA re¬marked. “The tendency is forwomen who are in spirit feministto assume that everything’s O.K.and things are secure.” Yet suchattitudes have not silencedfeminists on most campuses,where women's centers andcampus groups which representa variety of concerns are active,providing a center around whichfeminists can organize demon¬strations, marches, and other visible and vocal means ofcommunicating feminist idealsto the student body at large.Such trends are reflected atthe University of Chicago,where, despite the negativeconceptions of many students ofwhat feminism is, a lack of Ad-ministration support forwomen's studies, and a resultantlow level of activism amongCollege students recently, femi¬nism remains very much inforce in the academic and per¬sonal lives of many students.Although many students agreewith basic feminist goals such asthe elimination of sex dis¬crimination in the workplaceand the right to abortion, still theword “feminist” conjures upimages of extremism and mili¬tancy. “The overall impression Iget is that they want to dominatemen,” says Lisa Lucas, first-year student in the College. Shesees feminists as “not fightingfor a cause; carrying somethinga little too far,” though she says,“Ideas like getting equal pay forequal work I agree with.”Lauren Berlant, assistant pro¬fessor in the Department ofEnglish, notes that “Feminismhas a way of making people feellike whoever is a feminist isnarrow and authoritarian andhumorless, and it’s not in¬evitably so.”Such attitudes make it difficultand uncomfortable to declareoneself a feminist. Berlant, whofor the past two years has taughta course in feminist literarycriticism entitled “FeministTheory and Practice,” says, “Both years I’ve taught thisclass I’ve heard a million re¬ports of women having to defendthe class as not a guerilla war¬fare class or who knows what.People just have kind of funny,paranoid notions of what femi¬nism is and about the people init. . . what many students tell meis that it’s hard to be a feministon this campus if you want to betaken seriously. . . I think a lot ofstudents in the class this yearwere feeling really embattled.”Carolyn Shapiro, fourth-yearstudent in the College and member of the Women’s Union,agrees. “People are scared ofthe word ‘feminist.’ They havevery stereotyped notions of whatit means. I would guess that a lotof people at this Universitywould agree with a lot of femi¬nist issues but they don't iden¬tify, or don’t want to identify,their political feelings with theword feminism.” She adds.“Just taking a course in feministtheory opens you up to all kindsof questions and funny looks andstereotypes and assumptions.”Despite this negative climate. however, there remains a largeamount of interest in feminismamong students Berlant recalls,“My enrollment on the first dayof “Feminist Theory and Prac¬tice” in the Fall Quarter of lastyear was 75. . . this year, 83people came on the first day andabout twenty a day came newthe next few days. . . so, I wouldsay there’s a lot of support oncampus and people are reallyinterested.”Elizabeth Helsinger, associateprofessor in the Department ofcontinued on page sevenFreshman numbers will increaseBv Larry KavanaghStaff WriterThe largest freshman class inthe University’s history will at¬tend the college next fall ac¬cording to Dan Hall, dean ofadmissions in the college. Theoffice of admissions lists 907 in¬coming freshmen, up from 837 atthis time last year.The class size exceeded theprojections of the Dean's office,mostly because of a rise in thepercentage of students acceptingthe college's offer of admission.About 2000 students were offeredadmission both this year andlast.Hall credited the large class tothe work done recruiting thosewho applied. “More studentswere involved in hosting pros¬pective students this year,” theDean said. Hall also noted thatfewer students were concerned with the schools socialvironment this year. en-f fr t I,m m V*Maria Rivera and Angela Anderson helped AOTT make more money than anyat the IHC carnival Saturday.

Oneobserver pointed to the in¬creased publicity the college gotnation-wide as a possible factorin the increase.Broadview Hall will absorb theprojected increase in under¬graduate demand for Universityhousing according to ConnieHolloman, director of housing.Presently Broadview is one-thirdundergraduate and two-thirdsgraduate. That ratio will changeas more graduate students re¬questing housing will be placedin International House or Uni¬versity owned apartments. Hol¬loman explained. There are noplans for a systematic conver¬sion of single occupancy roomsinto doubles. “Students whosigned up for singles will getthem,” she affirmed.The housing director alsostated that there were no plansto convert Matthews House, alaw school dorm in Burton-Judson, into an undergraduatehouse next year. Every otherhouse in Burton-Judson is un¬dergraduate.Director of Student ActivitiesIrene Conley stated that her of¬fice would be able to handle thelarge class. “I don’t think thatmy office will have trouble ab¬sorbing the larger group. How¬ever if we continue to see anincrease in the future there is noquestion that things will gettight,” Conley predicted.The increase in the acceptancerate, if it holds up next year, willchange the nature of recruitingin the college. "It will not be aquestion of can we get enoughstudents, but a question of howmany students do we want."Hall remarked. Last year the Greenstone re¬port called for the college toexpand to 3400. a figure thatPresident Gray modified to 320Cin a February interview with theMaroon. Since the number ottransfer students to the collegeis less than the number trans-Dan Hall“It will not be aquestion of can weget enough students,but a question of howmany students do wewant”ferring or dropping out. about850 freshmen are needed eachvear to maintain a college size of3200.An increase in the acceptancerate is significant. A statisticalanalysis done by the Maroon,which used the old rate, showedthat to bring the college up to3200 students, almost every stu¬dent who completed the secondpart of the admissions applica¬tion would have to be accepted.New in the Maroon!The arts thrive in Hyde Park with the new arts■, " ' ' ■' ■ • * • ; ' -and literature forum Silent Voices = See page 13Rockefeller Memorial ChapelCarillon recitaland tower tour5850 S.

At approximately 10:30a.m., a temperature of 63 degrees, and awind speed of 4 mph, the fully geared crewboarded the airplane from which theywould make their jump.The crew appeared anxious as the smallplane ascended to its destined altitude of3000 feet. A humbling silence extinguishedall sounds in the cabin. The jumpmastergave his last words of advice and readiedthe first diver. The cabin door was openedand a strong wind rushed into the cabin.The diver was commanded to “get half¬way out” and then “all the way out.” Atthis time the diver was suspended by aBy Sonja SpearStaff WriterFSACCSL ( Faculty Student AdvisoryCouncil on Campus Life) has held itsmembers elections for next year.FSACCSL acts as an advisory committeeto the Dean of Students. The council meetsthree or four times a quarter to discussstudent life and report to the Dean ofStudents. According to Dean O’Connell,“over the eighteen years the committeehas been in existence, they have neverbeen unanimous without getting theirway.”This year the committee discussed lastyear’s report or. the athletic facilities withmembers of the athletics department. Theyalso discussed the effects of the studentactivities fee and cultural resources avail¬able to students on and off campus Ac¬cording to Dean O’Connell, they also stud¬ied “intra-University communications —the ways in which students are commu¬nicated with (tnere are six hundredbulletin-boards on campus, for example)and how they may be made more orderly.” strut on the airplane wing, making eyecontact with his instructor. At the jump-master's command, the diver glanced atthe orientation dot on the wing and let go ofthe strut. The diver plunged towards theground and soon after, his parachuteopened, ensuring him of safety. In identicalfashion the next four jumpers executedtheir first skydives.After canopy inflation the parachute ismaneuvered by mechanisms which governflight direction. By manipulation of themechanisms various aerial maneuvers canbe accomplished, such as simple turns,spins, flares (short stops), and stalls(temporary closing of the canopy whichincreases vertical velocity). A soft landingis accomplished by a flare, 15 feet aboveground level (this virtually stops the par¬achute). Depending on maneuvering thejump duration is approximately 4 minutes.When asked to elaborate on the skydivingThe new committee may continue toaddress some of the same issues. Alexan¬der Cobitz, who represents the Biologicaland Physical Science Divisions, says thathe is interested in discussing the “newathletic machines because some womencomplain about the Nautilus machines’ notfitting them.” He adds that he will work on“whatever else comes up.”Members of the committee are electedby members of each academic division.The college has three representatives andeach division has one.Ned Hale. Kyle Dixon, and David Landiswill represent the College. There werethree hundred and one votes cast andtwenty-six candidates. Martin Lopez willrepresent the Business School. Two peopleran and sixty-eight people voted. Alexan¬der Cobitz will represent the Biological andPhysical Sciences Divisions as well as thePritzker School of Medicine. He was un¬opposed. Laura McCluer will represent theHumanities Division and John Slocum willrepresent the Social Sciences. experience, the crew responded with acommon theme; adventure. “Shark” Sensreplied, “I enjoy doing scary things: livingin the South Side of Chicago, going to the Uof C, and now, skydiving.” “Skywalker”Waldman enthusiastically insisted that hehad a recurring vision, “In the vision I amreincarnated as a seagull; the dive is asclose as I can come to sampling my futurelife.” “Iron Man” Gleason said, “Hangingon the strut I closed my eyes, it was prettyscary, but once the chute opened every¬thing was alright, it was fantastic.” “CloudDancer” Proels felt that the toughest partof the jump was collecting his cool in orderto make it out to that strut and letting go.By Geoff SherryAssociate EditorStephan Jay Gould, professor of geology,zoology and the history of science at Har¬vard University, spoke to a full house atMandel Hall on “The Basis of Creativity inEvolution” Thursday, May 22, as thisyear’s third Marjorie Kovler VisitingFellow.The self-proclaimed purpose of Gould’sdiscussion was to expunge the belief thatall of evolution’s mechanisms have beenleading to the exalted state of the homosapiens.“Our mistake is that we interpret every¬thing in light of our own expectations,”quipped Gould.Gouid appealed to the two “terribletruths" of evolution to substantiate hisclaim that we (homo sapiens> are in fact afluke of the processes of nature. He firstrefuted the belief that nature is perfectlyordered and balanced, with the drivingforce of nature leading to us. His first truthis that nature is in fact driven by the battlefor individual reproductive success. Farfrom ordered, the overall system closelyresembles the “invisible hand” of a laissez-faire economy.He then suggested that the path of evolu¬tion is risky and unpredictable, the secondterrible truth being the inordinate amountof luck necessary to mold the tortuousevolutionary path to the point of our exist¬ence. realizing that a chute malfunction mightmake him into dogmeat. “Colt 45” Kolta\was startled by the beauty of the jump,“The dive is difficult to describe in wordsIt was thrilling and incredibly peaceful atthe same time. I think life itself is a risk,and one ought to do some exciting things tomake the most of it.”Needless to say, the skydive outing was arewarding experience for the entire crew.Skydiving was more than a trip, it w-as anadventure. To the members, it was anopportunity for introspection, a test of per¬sonal stamina; they passed with flyingcolors.“If we rewound the tape of history andplayed it back, it is quite unlikely that wewould evolve,” noted Gould.Gould utilized slides to illustrate many ofhis points throughout the lecture. One suchuse of visual aids involved Gould's famoustheory of spandles. Spandles are the trian¬gular pieces of architecture that resultwhen arches are connected at right anglesto form the base for a dome structure. Heclaims he thought of the spandles ideawhile viewing the domes of San Marcos.Gould illustrated the influence which thearchitectural leftovers have on the designof the domes Drawing the analogy toevolution, he pointed out that selectionalchange often result in structural conse¬quences that may overshadow the “in¬tended” change.Gould asserted, “Because of spandles,evolution is vastly richer in possibilitiesthan is commonly believed.”The Visiting Fellow completed his stay atthe University by meeting students in thedorms and attending a Cubs game withselected faculty and students.CorrectionThe photo of Sexual Perversity in Chic¬ago and its caption that was printed in theMay 20. 1986. issue of the Maroon shouldnot have appeared.

May 30. 1986—3JThe Chicago MaroonStudent Newspaper of the University of ChicagoVIEWPOINTMore sleepout falloutBy David Mungerand George BestIn one sense, the Great College Sleepoutof 1986 was an incredible failure. For weeksprevious to the event it was deified as awonderful and monolithic symbol of the Uof C student’s devotion to learning. Sud¬denly, a week after an event it has beencalled “outdated” and “unfair,” and“conceptually screwy.” Students whoreally wanted certain popular classes werebeing denied the chance by worthless par-tiers who really didn't care about theireducation. The two letters in Tuesday'sMaroon pointed out several problems in thecurrent system and suggested their ownsolutions, solutions that would basicallydestroy the ‘‘closest thing this school has toa genuine tradition.” Our belief is that thecampout itself is not the problem. It’s agreat idea. The real screw-up in the 1986campout was in its administrationFirst, there was the pre-Sleepout hype.Watch out, freshmen! Have your tentsready! Coffee and donuts in the morning!Then came the real problems. Peoplestarted camping out on Saturday. My God,people started to think, am I really going tohave to camp out this long? Actually, if theanswer to the question was yes, the prob¬lem would have solved itself. People whodidn't really want to camp out would havegotten crossed off the list, and we wouldn'thave had 800 people on the list by Sundaynight. But since students were taking rollfor the first night <no administrators werewilling to sacrifice any of their precioussleep for an event that they love to play forits full PR value), honesty dictated thatthey had to announce when roll calls weregoing to be taken. That meant that peoplecould sleep at home on Saturday night, andnot worry about having their name crossedoff the list. If roll calls hadn't been an¬nounced in advance, people would havebeen forced to camp out or get crossed off.When an administrator finally showed upat 10:00 Sunday morning with an un¬announced roll call, he had the right idea,but after that, roll calls were still an¬nounced. (However, he decided to ignorethe list which the students had been keep¬ing, thus giving making the efforts of thosededicated enough to sleep out Saturdaynight worthless. He claimed that the stu¬dents list was not official, despite the sign¬ature of an Assistant Dean of Students.) OnSunday night, students were told to gohome and come back the next morning.The purpose of the administrator and rollcalls should be to make sure students stayin the Harper Quad all the time. This canonly be achieved through random roll calls.If students don’t know when to expect rollcalls, they will be kept honest, and thepeople who really want classes will beseparated from those who don't. The bestroll call system we’ve heard of is to haveseveral different administrators take rollduring different time periods, starting asearly as necessary. At this school, we doubtthat anyone would be willing to miss classon Friday, so this would only necessitate starting roll call on Friday night or earlySaturday morning. This would also insurethat if one administrator is biased in anyway or if students could benefit from livingin the administrator’s dorm, the otheradministrators will cancel out this bias.The beauty of the campout system is thatit truly assures each individual that if hereally wants a class, he is guaranteed thatclass. No other system can provide thatadvantage. It is, by any measurement, thebest way of organizing students in order ofthe degree of their desires. A lottery, abidding system, or a system based on classranking cannot exceed the current systemin its fairness. The College offers enoughclasses so that everyone can have a fullschedule. The only fair way to judge whichclasses the individual can take is thecampout system.Another complaint about this system isthat people were not actually camping outfor classes, they were camping out forappointments. Your place in the overallline, therefore, is not as important as yourplace in your advisor’s “line.” Therefore,this view asserts, we should scrap thecampout process. This view is much toonarrow. The real problem is that eachadvisor has a sometimes dramatically dif¬ferent number of students. Thus some“lines” are shorter than others. It doesn’tmatter what bid you make, but how soonyou get to your advisor. (Why there areadvisors at all is a mystery to us... If astudent can get 650 verbal on his SAT, heshould be able to plan his schedule so hecan graduate.) The solution, then, is not tochange the campout process, but to changeone small part. Given that the college isn’tgoing to give up its advising system, we seetwo solutions to this problem. (Cover yourears, some pre-meds are about to startscreaming.)First, we could require each advisor tohandle the same number of appointmentsper day all on a first come first serve basis,even if some of the people he sees are nothis advisees. Students are told to come totheir appointments with their classes al¬ready chosen. This means that each stu¬dent should consult with his advisor or,more likely his departmental advisor longbefore the registration appointment. Thismeans that during the actual fifteen-minute appointment all the advisor has todo is fill out the paperwork. In short, itdoesn’t really matter which advisor thestudent sees for those particular fifteenminutes. If there are fifteen advisors, thefirst fifteen people in line should get theearliest appointments.Second, we could limit the proportion ofadvisees which each advisor could see. Forexample, if the advisor with the greatestnumber of students needing registrationcan only see 5% of his advisees per day,then no advisor could see more than 5% ofhis advisees on any given day. This wouldhave the effect of evening out the length ofthe lines.Finally, the existence of an advisor whodoesn’t take Wednesday appointments* isirrelevant to the issue of the fairness of thecampout process. He needs to be handleddifferently. We suggest thumbscrews.LETTER IMImmProblems with housing staffTo the Editor.As a student in the College, I am verymuch disturbed by recent events arising inthe University Housing System. Whenthirty-three out of thirty-five students inHale House demand the removal of theirResident Heads, a Resident Assistantdeserts 1215 Hyde Park Blvd. in the middleof the year, the Assistant Director of Hous¬ing resigns, and the Resident Heads ofBrechinridge walk out, one begins to ques¬tion the policies of the University HousingSystem. Why are there so many abruptdepartures and conflicts? If the ResidentHeads are not conducting themselves appropriately, then obviously the Director ofHousing must not be making appointmentswith care and prudence.In Burton-Judson, I have repeatedly of¬fered suggestions to the Resident Mastersfor activities, but they have fallen on deaf4—The Chicago Maroon—Friday, May 30, 1986 ears. We have had only five Visiting Fel¬lows in the last nine months, and theSherry Hours for Spring Quarter endedearly in the fifth week. Why do Masterswant to slip by and enjoy life only on theperiphery of B-J? Do they really care, ordo they just enjoy the free housing and theprestigious bureaucratic authority? DuringWinter Quarter, I completed a Housingevaluation form and even to this date, Ihave not received a bit of informationconcerning the results. Are these ques¬tionnaires only to the privy of adminis¬trators? At $5005 a year, I would like toknow how my Resident Heads are per¬forming. Why wasn’t I also requested toevaluate my Resident Masters or the Di¬rector of Student Housing? Have they es¬caped the responsibilities for their dutiesand actions or do they think they are abovethe foolish and absurd opinions of students9A Concerned B-J Resident ill! LETTERS"IM Victim" tells allhaven’t seen the person responsible forscheduling since last week, and I don'ti U/s in ” Thn nffinn mon.Dear Editor:I am a resident of Upper Wallace Housein Woodward Court and will be graduatingthis June. Playing intramural sports forthe past 4 years has been one of my mostenjoyable past times and I can say with allhonesty that I am going to miss IMs. Onething I won’t miss, however, is dealing withthe Intramural, Sports, and Recreation Of¬fice.Over the past four years, I have hadnumerous encounters with this office, andvery few have been pleasant. It is welldocumented that, if one calls this office,one has a 50-50 chance of getting an an¬swer, and given that, one has a 50-50chance that the answer will be correct. Ifyou call and ask a question about rules,scheduling, or whatever, you may get astudent employee, who will in all pro¬bability not know the answer, or you’ll getthe office manager who might know thereal answer, a probable answer, an im¬probable answer, or nothing at all. Unfor¬tunately, she usually doens’t tell you thestatus of the answer, so it’s a matter ofluck whether or not you’ll be at the rightplace at the right time.For example, just this week onThursday, May 29. our team was scheduledto play a softball play-off game. Our rep¬resentative went into the office on Tuesday,the 27th, at 11:30 a.m., to see when play¬offs would begin. She says that she was toldby the office manager, “I don’t know — know when she’ll be in.” The office man¬ager claims that she said, “The schedulewill be posted later this afternoon, come inthen and see.” Unfortunately, there wereno impartial witnesses and no recordings ofthis conversation made, so we’ll neverknow what really happened. But I ask IMrespresentatives from other houses tojudge which report is probably more ac¬curate. There’s little question which wouldwin the vote.Kevin McCarthy’s catch-phrase forcriticisms such as these is, “We have thelargest university intramural program inthe United States. We deal with hundreds ofteams. People complain because we don’ttailor our schedules, policies, etc., to theirneeds and we just can’t do it.” Well, Mr.McCarthy, I don’t think anybody (fromUW) is asking you to tailor your programsto our needs. As a matter of fact, you wouldfind it impossible to report a protest sub¬mitted by us that ever questioned yourinterpretation of rules, schedules, etc —because in four years we never filed one.All we expect from you and your office, sir,is reliable, correct answers — not hedges,not lies, not claims. And the size of theprogram has little to do with that. Rather,the competence of your staff is the issue.Farewell and good riddance to you,Anne WellsPresident of Upper Wallace HouseKeep the alcohol counselorTo the Editor:A counselor at the Student ResourceCenter (SRC) specializing in alcohol prob¬lems will be leaving the University ofChicago at the end of this academic year.As of this writing, this position has not beenfilled. This elimination will be a great lossto the University community. The work hasbeen done this year at the SRC in the areaof alcohol abuse and alcoholism has beenan important contribution to the lives ofmany students.Just as the majority of the students herestudy excessively, many of them drink andtake drugs excessively. It is necessary tohave a resource such as the non¬threatening one that the SRC can providefor such students to seek help in both thetreatment and prevention of further alcoholand drug abuse. Furthermore, this campusneeds someone who can lead educationalprograms for the benefit of both the stu¬dents as well as the people who are in¬volved with them. Many of the faculty, resident heads, resident assistants, and thestudents themselves are unaware, uni¬nformed, or misinformed about alcohol anddrug problems. It is important to have anexperienced person in this position who cancarry out the desperately needed programsthat have been initiated this year. In addi¬tion, a stable staff at the SRC will assureits status as a trusted respite from theacademic and personal pressures that stu¬dents experience.Drug addiction and alcoholism are in¬herently ridden with denial in both thesufferers and the people around them.There is a definite drug and alcohol prob¬lem at the University of Chicago. It is avery real problem and it cannot be ignored.Drug addiction and alcoholism are pro¬gressive, fatal diseases, but something canbe done about these illnesses.

The “sponsors”referred to in the flyer are the “Ad HocCommittee for a Free South Africa” andthe “C.P.US.A.” The use of the lattername is a clear case of “red-baiting.” Theformer name has not been used by anyactive group for a year. The Ad HocCommittee changed its name to the ActionCommittee for a Free South Africa lastspring. The only place that repeated refer¬ences to the Ad Hoc Committee have ap¬peared in the interim is in The MidwayReview.While some individuals in the movementare amused by the childish antics of a fewof our opponents, this most recent attack ispart of a consistent practice of insult andcalumny by certain parties. Most of theseexpletives have been published in the“paper” mentioned above and are lostamong the rest of the often irritating,usually disgusting and occasionally amus¬ing tripe to be found there. Heretoforemembers of the community have normallyignored the insults and dirty tricks carriedout by a miniscule but malicious group ofextremists. (Perhaps only the work of asingle person?) We had hoped that, bydenying them the reaction they so ob¬viously seek to provoke, they would directtheir frustrated desires for significanceinto less abusive projects. Unfortunately,this is not the case, so we take this op¬portunity to point out that cries for justiceand rational consistency will not be re¬spected by anyone, if those who cry out arealso sneaking about perpetrating dirty-tricks. To use tactics of slander, as in thecase in question, intimidation, such as re¬peatedly and obtrusively photographing theentire audience at educational forums un¬der the guise of journalism when no legi¬timate use of the photos is ever demon¬strated, and disruption, as evidences herelast spring when Jesse Jackson spoke, onlyexposes their frustrated dream of gainingpower. Let us hope they remain frustrated.So, if they are so transparent, why payattention? Because this recent act of slander is sufficiently ambiguous as torequire a public clarification and response.Those of us who genuinely care aboutserious world problems, in spite of theseemingly insurmountable obstacles totheir alleviation, would prefer to engage inpublic debate “on the up and up.” It isregrettable that the immaturity of othersdemands that we respond almost, but notquite, in kind.The University of Chicago Coalition forDivestment and OthersMiles MendenhallJennifer WooddellSteve GrossKen FoxRene V.

"Many of the most suc¬cessful (women’s studies) courses at thisUniversity are those which attract a largenumber of people who want to know moreabout it.” Referring to Berlant’s class, shenoted, ‘‘I think she (Berlant) gets anumber of people who, when they begin,might not want to call themselves femi¬nists. And on the graduate level, certainlythe people who began coming out to thefeminist theory workshop, which I've beenassociated with for the past three years,simply want to do more reading in feministcriticism and aren’t at all sure how they’regoing to align themselves.”This interest is not peculiar to women.Berlant referred to a lecture given in Oc¬tober 1984 by herself and Wayne Booth,professor in the Department of English, onthe subject of “Men in Feminism,” whichfilled a lecture room to more than capacity.Yet formal University support for femi¬nist studies has been almost nonexistent.Helsinger says, “Feminist studies have noformal University institutional presence onthis campus, and there is probably a greatdeal of resistance on the part of variousupper-level administrative officials to any¬thing like that.” Recalling the late '60 s and'70’s, when women’s and Afro-Americanstudies were first becoming popular oncollege campuses, Helsinger notes, “ThisUniversity, I'm afraid, took great pride innot giving in to what it saw as temporarypressures for either Black Studies orWomen’s Studies programs at the time.”Berlant referred to an official memo¬randum to the effect that the Administra¬tion did not want its students being taughtinformation that reflected “fads” in thedisciplines.” “By which,” Berlant said, “Ithink the University means Women's Stud¬ies and Afro-American studies mainly.”She added that “I think universities arevery important, and I think they shouldhave a much more dynamic and involvedrelation with the contemporary situation.”In spite of the great interest in feminism,and feminism evinced by such things as class enrollment and attendance at suchwomen’s studies programs as are offeredhere, however, actual activism has re¬cently been at a relatively low level oncampus. Demonstrations, guest speakers,rallies, and other forms of vocal supportfor feminist concerns have fallen off con¬siderably in the past few years. Shapiro, amember of the Women’s Union, sees thereason for the decline in student activismas mainly people’s hesitancy to adopt theterm “feminist” for themselves. “People’sfear of and uncertainty about the wordmeans that there is a lot of resistance toactivism . . Also, since a lot of the issuesare very personal — things like abortion —people are uncomfortable about beingvocal about them, or about generalizingabout them.” Berlant, who is the facultyadvisor to the Women's Union, agreed, butalso noted the negative effect of the lack ofUniversity support for feminist issues. “Ifeel bad that there isn't more of an activemovement among students on campus.There isn't a University-funded Women’sUnion, as there is at practically everyother place I’ve ever been to. They(students) are not sponsoring things,they’re not bringing in speakers, and Isuspect this has a lot to do with (the factthat) the people who will commit them¬selves to doing work and activities, es¬pecially political activities, are few.”Yet the causes and concerns of feminism,if they do not find expression in the form oflarge-scale activities, do have other meansof communication, especially in the class¬room. Helsinger observed that “there'sbeen much talk of, as it’s called, main¬streaming,’ which essentially means at¬tempting to get concerns for gender rela¬tions and for the position of women into thecourses that are regularly taught in theuniversity anyway.” Shapiro, while ack¬nowledging the relative dearth of activismamong College students, agreed, saying, “Ithink that people do get exposed to feministideas in their classes, even those thataren't specifically feminist classes.” Professional actors, directors, and design¬ers are brought in to work with students,and the courses usually culminate wwith aproduction. Students that are not in Gen¬eral Studies but have an interest in theatermay register for these courses as electives.Marianne Currie, a fourth-year siuuemwho will be the first person to graduate asa drama major since the track in GeneralStudies was revived, states, “So much timeand energy is put into an extra-curriculartheater involvement ... there’s no reasonwhy you shouldn’t get credit if you take theinitiative to structure a reading coursearound it.”For her BA project, Currie assistantdirected Court Theatre’s production ofHeartbreak House and submitted a paperon the knowledge she gained through prac¬tical experience. “A lot can be learned byactually staging your own production. Youget a very different perspective of a playas opposed to just looking at it from aliterary point of view,” she reflects.Lisa Sanders, a fourth year English con¬centrator, received course credit and aBachelor’s degree for student-directingMoney, a Victorian drama. She received a299/reading course credit for the ground¬work first quarter, and another 299 coursecredit for the preparation of the play sec¬ond quarter. For her BA project, alongwith the play’s production, she submitted adirector’s notebook, complete with detailsof how scenes developed, personal ap¬ proaches to characters, etcetera.“The only way to learn is by doing. Ahands-on experience gives you a morepractical view of the theater and reallyintroduces you to the way theater works,”states Sanders.This year, Ingrid Blekys, a professionalactress in Court Theatre, staged the playBiedermann and the Firebugs in her course“Theory and Practice of Play Directing,”offered in winter quarter.According to Kinahan, two theater pro¬fessionals are scheduled to teach coursesnext year. Bernie Sahlins, the director ofSecond City, the nation's premier im¬provisation group, will hold a class onimprovisational theater. If available. LindaBuchanin, a professional designer, willteach a course on set design. If Buchanin isnot available, a professional director yet tobe determined will teach a course on playdirecting and mount a production as part ofthe course.“You get to know the artists on campusby taking their classes. It is a much morerelaxed atmosphere than most of the ac¬ademic courses. You learn a lot from eachother in a give and take situation.” Sanderscomments.Because of drama professionals' chang¬ing schedules, it is difficult to know whatcourses will be available far in advance.Anyone who desires more information ontheater courses can talk to their advisor, orcall Kinahan at 962-7980.KENWOODHOUSE TOIIRSunday,.innc I. 1986LOO to 5:00 p.m.Tickets: $10 in advance,SI 2 on day of tour(tax-deductible)no childrenunder 8, please.Starting point: Ancona School,4770 S Dorchester(street parking available)For information and tickets: Phone 924-2V56Tickets also available at Artisans 21 Gallery v5225 South Harper, 288-7450 *0,Sponsored by Ancona School sybi&Z*l JLOSliU Of CitlQOuearDoonORDERYOURYEARBOOKIt’s now or never!YEARBOOK ORDER FORMCap and Gown, 1986NAMEADDRESS (where book should be sent in fall)STREETCITYSTATE ZIP CODESend this form with a check for $16.00 .made payable to Varden Studios,to Yearbook, c/o Varden Studios, 28 South Union Street, Rochester, NY 14607or take it to the Student Activities Office.

He said that re¬cent Bloom County episodesshowing Bill the Cat about to bedeported to the Soviet Union are“timed badly” with the studentelections.

The problem reached itsheight during final exams lastweek, when 91 panties and 19bras vanished from dormitorydryers.

The proposal would haveadded a clause to the UC FacultyCode of Ethics declaring itunethical for faculty members to“engage in a romantic or sexualrelationship with a student undercircumstances which com¬promise the student-faculty re¬lationship.”During debate on the proposal,some asked what was wrongwith romance. “It’s possible tohave a sexual relationship with¬out harassing.” UC (Riverside)Professor Ramon Rhine said. “Idon’t think romance is neg¬ative.”UCLA Professor AndrewKelly, a professor of the propoal.told The Daily Californian, that.“We just wanted those facultymembers engaged in a romanticrelationship to be careful.” Kellywarned that relationships be¬tween professors and studentscan turn sour and lead to har¬assment.Before defeating the proposal,the Assembly - the voting bodyof the system-wide AcademicSenate - voted down an amend¬ment from the UniversityCommittee on Rules and Juris¬diction that would have added asection on sexual harassment to the code of conduct.That proposal would havemade explicit the definition ofsexual harassment by explainingwhat actions constituted it.But Assembly Chair MarjorieCaserio said the code of conduct already covers sexual harass¬ment. She pointed out a clausebanning all sexual discrimina¬tion..In 1983, the Privilege andTenure Committee recom¬mended that the Assembly con¬ demn all sexual relationshipsbetween faculty and students.The Assembly voted to encour¬age individual campuses tocondemn such relationships, butdid not adopt a formal system-wide policy.BLOOM COUNTY by Berke Breathed50 CONGRESS PREPARESfor the presentavon, thiswespay. or strategic ex¬pense TECHNOLOGY FROM,TOP AMERICAN RESEARCHSCIENTISTS ...

EdwardsI remember the first time 1 saw him. 1 wasin the coffee shop having lunch betweenclasses. He was wearing a tan corduroy coat.He came in and rummaged through the trashcan at the end of the room. Of the people thatnoticed him. a few stared at him or giggled athim with their friends. Most people didn'tknow how to react. Of these, some actedoffended, as if the man were being terriblyrude. A few other people tried very hard to actunaffected. I watched the people closely, I wastrying to find a model for how I should react.The approach of the last group appealed to methe most; their reaction was an air of impene¬trable nonchalance It's the way some peoplereact when they see a car accident in whichsomeone has probably been seriously injured.He fished out a few soda cans and put themin a huge gray garbage bag. the kind myparents use for the big metal trash cans besideour house. He straightened up and lookedaround the room. He didn't seem to notice thata great many people were watching him now— maybe he was accustomed to the staring.He started walking. He stopped at the trashcan that was a couple of feet behind my backand started sifting through it. His bag jingledas he dropped in each can. I turned my stare tomy friend who was sitting across the tablefrom me My friend looked unaffected asthough people come in to coffee shops and digthrough trash cans all the time. Using my rolemodels. I acted nonchalant. I suppose myacting was inadequate because, after the manhad walked away, my triend leaned over thetable and intoned. “He's called the can man.He goes around campus collecting aluminumcans."Why?" 1 said, still continuing m> faultyacting."So he can turn them in to be recycled."“Why?”"For the money. To get food. 1 guess.""Oh." 1 said.Some people came up and started talking tous and I forgot about the man in the tan coat.Last Saturday was the next time I saw him.1 had just finished work at Harper Library andwas walking towards Regenstein Library tocatch the bus to go home. He was coming outof the door of Stuart Hall, which is part of theBusiness School. A University of Chicago Security Guard was walking very closelybehind him. They paused at the bottom of thesteps. The guard pointed to a trash can andsaid. “Put your cans in there.” The manobediently placed his big gray bag in the trashcan. The trash can was held in a circle ofclosely-spaced redwood boards. (This is donebecause its appearance clashes with the im¬portant looking building. The trash can holderwas created by a clever planner who decidedto conceal its displeasing appearance under apleasing exterior. His plan works pretty well.)1 watched as the guard opened the door ofhis car to talk on his radio. He finished andstarted writing something on a clipboard. Theguard glanced up and saw me. The man stoodobediently in place. The guard warily watchedthe man then glanced up at me, but this timehe kept looking at me. I felt uncomfortable soI turned and started walking again.I was early. I stood waiting for the sixo'clock bus in front of Regenstein. Beside mesome people were talking about how importantit is for the University of Chicago to divestfrom South Africa. (South Africa is a countrywhere a few people control the government,the production, the military' and the police.Many. many, more people have no say at allin what happens in their country or in theirfuture. The former group of people have lightskin The latter group have dark skin Mem¬bers of the latter group are often injured orkilled because they disagree with the concept.)The people stopped talking about South Africaand started talking about how evil Star Warsresearch is. They sounded quite knowl¬edgeable on the subject.The last time 1 saw the man in the tan coatwas a few minutes later He was in the back ofa police car that had slowed down becausethere w as a sign that said STOP in front of thelibrary. The guard followed closely behind inhis own car. I guess he thought the man mightdo something terribly dangerous or maybe theguard wanted to savor his triumph for a fewmore lingering moments.I wondered where they were taking theman. Were they taking the man home? Did theman have a home? The policemen are admir¬able to transport the man to his home, but itw as rude of the guard to make the man leavehis cans and his bag back at the businesscontinued on page 16Some Solace for the EightiesWhite Soise is published in paperback by Penguin's Contemporary American Fictionseries. Copyright 1986 by Don Delillo.Other books by Mr. Delillo include The Sames, Ratner’s Star, Players and End Zone.White Noise is terrifying. It isn't the terror of horror films or the almost erotic draw of aStephen King Thriller. It is the terror a student of history feels as he watches Goebbels'spropaganda machines work on the German people In short it is the fear of death.Until recently 1 felt that maybe there was something deficient about the era I live in. I feltthat not only were our social and political systems flawed, but that we were flawed. Thatsomehow there was something wrong not only with our modern creations but that we haddied inside No one wrote about us any more. Norman Mailer. Joan Didion and GrahamGreene are all living and writing. But they aren't part of the seventies and eighties. Theyaren't part of our world of plastic and steel and trans-global pharmaceutical firms I felt thatmy generation was so numbed that none of us had enough living in them to w rite about ourstrange world. Then I read The Names then 1 read White Noise.Maybe we are flawed anyway and maybe every generation has believed that it wastragically flawed (it pleases our collective egos). Still, it gives me some hope to know thatsomeone can write about the w ay his heart and mind react to our numbed air-conditionedtechnologically controlled world. Thank you Mr. Delillo.On the surface, on the facade White Noise is about a university professor. His family andfriends are a composite of my family and friends and their family and friends. Jack Gladneylives in a world where his family is extended by divorce and the television hy pnotizeseveryone with unreal visions of manmade disasters. He is a professor of Hitler Studies at asmall liberal arts college in the midwest. His intellectual separation from the world aroundhim makes his ironic outsider's comments seem legitimate and safe. But he too is drawninto our world of plastic coated advertised death. One of the strange events that don't seemcontinued on page 17The Chicago Maroon—Friday, May 30. 1986—1:EditorialStarting a paper is so much fun. I’d ratherindulge in few other experiences: ChronicMigranes, food poisoning or chemotherapytreatments. Actually, I suspect that it really isa lot like chemotherapy. Constant tensionleaves me continually sick to my stomach. Myfriends have begun to wonder “how muchlonger?” just below my hearing range, or sothey think. Strangers stare at me and turnaway guiltily when I look back. Every time thathappens I keep wondering if I have a bald spoton the back of my head. (“Time to wonder do1 dare?” Time to turn back and descend thestair").The task is certainly unrewarding. Mydedicated friend and I went trundling about(actually he trundled and I probably waddled)from office to office and room to room. Wedelivered a typed proposal to the puzzled andsuspicious occupant. We gave a brief speechabout what we were trying to do. The listenersmiled and nodded all through our talk. Wethen asked, “So, do you think you could helpus in any way?” Invariably we heard that itseemed like a good idea but that we wouldhave to wait for help until it was already done.Everyone wants to know that what theycommit themselves to will be a success, beforethey commit. Okay, 1 can understand that. ButPlease someone tell me how something, any¬thing new becomes a success unless peoplecommit themselves before they know for sure.Some people did decide to help, but I won'* Chatbore you with their names, partly becausereading lists of names is only interesting tosnobs and Machiavellians and partly because Iwon’t know if this is a success until someonereads it. I don’t want to do a great disserviceto entrepeneurs by making them responsiblefor an unfinished idea.The idea really isn’t all that strange. Wethought that a major university ought to have aweekly magazine about and made of Art. Thatreally isn’t bizarre. Something that is for andof the Arts. So maybe when some of us starttalking about Art (with the characteristic A)we become a little Rosicrucian. At least if weare going to talk about it, it should probablybe coherently, and in print. Then if we get outof line, someone can tell us so, in print. TheMaroon thought the idea made sense, so theythought they would make us organize insteadof wasting our energy like confused revolu¬tionaries.Still, with more specific goals to worktoward it has been difficult and depressing.People promise to write things and the pres¬sures of U of C academics keeps them fromfinishing. Allright, so we work harder. Ouracademic work may suffer a little, but we havea cause. Shit, is that me talking?Now the idea is started and needs a lot morework. Anyone who has something to say abouArt (or art) should give us call so next yearthe first issue won't be as hard as this one.The EditorFireside_ sc^ usie V \\Y.eNo\> \o- Silent VoicesThe Chicago MaroonRoom 3041212 E. 59th St.Chicago, Illinois 60637PHYDE PARKHARPER CT. at 53rd St. 288-4900Ask about our Dinner/Theater Specials fromMallory's Restaurantand Wine Bar and theM & R Hyde Park Theatres.- Details at Box Office -1 COBRASat.-Mon. 2:00, 4:00 6:00, 8:00,10:00Fri., Tues.-Thurs. 6:00, 8:00,10:00 NO PASSESPOLTERGEIST II PG13Sat.-Mon. 1:40, 3:30, 5:20, 7:10, 9:00,10:50Fri., Tues.-Thurs. 5:20, 7:10, 9:00,10:50JO JO DANCER RSat.-Mon. 2:20, 4:20, 6:20, 8:20,10:20Fri., Tues.-Thurs. 6:20, 8:20,10:20BACK TO SCHOOL - STUDENT SPECIAL** SPECIAL PRICE - $2.50 Mon.-Thur.

Lucy Honeychurchis the young woman played by the ravishingHelena Bonham Carter. The plot opens withLucy and her chaperon/travel companion,portrayed by Maggie Smith, arriving in Italyonly to find that their room doesn’t have aview either. The missing view is provided ashort time later by a mischievous old man andhis son George (played by Denholm Elliot andJulian Sands respectively), who enter Lucy'slife with an offer to swap rooms. The experi¬ences that will ultimately affect and determineLucy’s life are thrust upon her quickly andremorselessly. At one point she is present atthe scene of a hideous slaying and later on shemust fend off the advances of Elliot's sonGeorge, who is hopelessly in love with thiswoman. The results of George’s romanticendeavors are cut short when Lucy is quicklyshipped home to England, but a short timelater she becomes engaged to George’s rival.Cecil (Daniel Day Lewis), a man who isencaged by his own social mores and dis¬tinctions. From this foil of true love, the plotadvances quickly, ending, of course, happily-ever-after.The fine performances of Denholm Elliotand Daniel Day Lewis allow their charactersto represent the mental frustrations of the time.Elliot’s old eccentric is a rambunctious in¬dividualist trying to break free of the Victoriansocial pressures which have been leviedagainst him. His frustration stems from hisinability to fit in with the company he main¬tains, while try ing to uphold his social posi¬tion. He wants to keep his son George “in”with the crowd that will insure his place in theproper society, in essence assuring his son of alife of a happiness. The frustration of Lewis'scharacter also stems from the impossible rigi¬dness of society's expectations, but from theother side. Although Cecil strictly follows acode of values that is highly regarded at the time, this strict adherence ultimately leads tohis own ostracization from the society whichhe seems to be so much a part of. Hedesperately wants to demonstrate his love toLucy in the way that she wants it, but he andhis emotions of love and loss are perpetuallytrapped in his own world. Only Georgemanages to strike a balance between the twofrustrations. He maintains control in thejudgmental Victorian environment when it isrequired of him, but he also demonstrates acomplete freedom of his own personal will,when given the opportunity. Thus he is able tomaintain a close rapport with the world aroundhim and the people he cares for.Strong performances are given by the leadactresses as well. Helena Bonham Carter addsgreat dimension to her role by capturing thechild-like joys and fears of exposure to a newworld where emotions run free and unob¬structed. She also captures the confusion oftwo ways of life which she must eventuallychoose between. Her character, with the aid ofSands', is constantly moving towards the free-spirited life she craves. She becomes addictedto it with her first few tastes of love andadventure in Italy, and she continually strivesto transcend the Victorian lifestyle, to ul¬timately achieve the unhindered life, the idealroom with a view.Along with an excellent cast and fineperformances. James Ivory sustains high pro¬duction values. The art direction accomplishesa fine feel as it captures all of the details ofatmosphere and setting that comprise the pre-twentieth century lifestyle. Tony Pierce-Roberts contributes some consistent, if notexcellent, cinematography that utilizes thepastoral settings of the Italian countryside andcity-scapes, along with the quiet settings ofEngland. Pierce-Roberts also captures texturesin images such as water falling that, bythemselves, arouse great emotion.Yet a film that contains so many greatqualities only achieves a mildly good standing.This is due in large part to faulty direction byJames Ivory. Scenes that are well-orchestratedare linked together by a number of mediocremoments in which the inspiration of thedirector's talent is either lost or misplaced.The best examples of this are the momentsbetween George and Lucy at the beginning andthe incident at the pond, both of which take on a light-hearted atmosphere which often fallsinto the insipid cuteness that is run-of-the-millin cinema today. The greatest detriment of thedirector's treatment of the film is that hepresents such an ambiguous portrayal of thecharacter George that by the end George’spersonal integrity is only a questionable guidefor Lucy. He appears simply as an individualwho can provide the proper sort of love forLucy, as opposed to Cecil, who obviouslyloved her but didn't have the means by whichto prove it. This also reflects on Lucy as wellfor she takes on a quality of self-centerednesswhich takes personal contentment to be of prime importance. Thus Ivory leaves theaudience in a state of confusion, forcing themto determine the true meaning behind the filmand its intentions in representing the charac¬ters' personal drives.A Room with a View is a fine cinematiceffort which deserves at least a part of thecritical acclaim that it has been receiving and.compared with many of the other offerings inthe Chicago area, it demonstrates some of thefiner aspects of the medium. It is currentlyplaying at the Fine Arts Theater. 410 S.Michigan Ave.Prelude to Burn-Out:Wasteful unforeseen fall-outof Water re-channeledraining down—Unfathomable fission alternativesburning fires of invisible interior growthsseething in the bowels,in the breasts of mother earth;all the living of the earthyielding half-livespre-maturely silencedby the contamination of massesconceived in the purity of scientific thought—Still-life yet unbornliving long enoughto perceive the cause of the projectionof their own deathprotestthat a vision of powerreturned to simulate debrisin a miniature universeis not a vision transformedfor the debris is raining down—now-raining down on the families of blind creatorsunawareof the wastefulunforeseenfall-out—Rev, Julie A.

Were they taking him to jail? To ashelter? Shelters are a good idea. They areplaces where people who don't have homes orcan't afford to eat can go to live or eat.Shelters are a good idea but taking people toshelters against their will is not a good idea. Isuppose the policemen were taking the manaway because the people that the policemenwork for think that the man clashes with theappearance of their important looking build¬ing. This, for the most part is okay since theman's skin is light like the policemen's. If itwere dark and he were taken away, someonemight call it discrimination or harassment andthis, in turn, would upset a great many people.If the man stayed in one place for a longperiou of time. he. too. could be covered withclosely spaced redwood boards but. since hewalks about, the policemen are forced to movehim to a shelter or to a jail. (Shelters and jailsare things used by clever planners in order toconceal things with displeasing appearancesunder suitable exteriors.)The two cars turned left at the corner ontoEllis Avenue. Cobb Hall is a building on EllisAvenue where many students have classes. Inthese classes, the students learn about manytheoretical things such as freedom, equality,the responsibilities of citizenship, and whyCapitalism is a superior form of governmentbecause the economy functions most efficientlywhen people are allowed to be motivated bytheir self-interest. It is unlikely that the man inthe back of the car had ever attended such aclass. (People — who are driven away in theback of police cars because they removealuminum from trash cans so they can eat —tend to have difficulty understanding the ef¬ficiency with which our chosen form ofgovernment functions.) I don't know anythingmore about the man because, after the carsturned the corner. I didn't see him again.When the bus came. I was the first personon. I like to be the first person on so I can sitnear the heater. After a few minutes ofhuddling over the warm heater. I forgot theman completely.In the seats in front of me, some peoplewere talking. The people were wearing lash-16 The Chicago Maioon—Friday, May .50, i98t ionable clothing; which achieved its goal ofdrawing attention to certain areas of theirbodies which are often grasped during sexualactivity. They were talking about a party. “OhGod. why don't you want to go?""You know why."“No. I don't."“You know who will be there."“Oh please, just because he lives at thefraternity doesn't mean that you can't go totheir parties."“But. I hate to even see him."The people's voices annoyed me so I lookedout the window and tried to ignore them. I didvery well. After a few minutes of passinglights and buildings. I didn't hear a word thatthey said.As the bus turneu the corner into theparking lot of Shoreland Hall, I saw a woman.She was wearing several coats and was push¬ing a shopping car that contained what Ipresume were the bulk of her worldly pos¬sessions. (I remembered this because I found itinteresting that the cart she was pushing waslike the one that my parents use when they goshopping. The things that with which myparents fill the cart will feed my family forabout five days but this is probably because wethrow much of the contents into trash canslined with bags like the one taken from theman in the tan coat.) I thought about this for aminute until it started to annoy me so I heardthe people again. “Why don't we just go tothe Shoreland parties? There is one on theseventh floor and one on the twelfth floor."“I don't know, is there going to be beer?"“Of course there will be beer."Well...okay. When are you going?"“Come by my room at nine or so."The bus had stopped and 1 didn't hear anymore of what they said because they werewalking away.After the bus had started lurching alongagain, and after it had stopped, and after I hadwalked off the bus, I went into Broadview Hallwhich is where I live. I stopped on the way tomy room and ordered a pizza. I went to myroom but I didn't like the way my roomlooked. I rearranged it twice before its ap¬pearance pleased me. The U of C's Intellectual ArtsBy Michael SchoopThe University of Chicago. The name ev¬okes images of gothic architecture, meticu¬lously cared-for lawns and quiet tree-linedavenues. It seems fitting that academic rigor atits best should be highly valued in such aplace. The truly contemplative nature of theplace and its ideals are reflected in itsappearance. Indeed, the University’s long his¬tory of affiliation with renowned scholars is atestament to how well it has realized many ofits intellectual ideals. The University’s ac¬ademic tradition is so distinguished and evi¬dent that the creative side of its character isoccasionally overlooked.Certainly it's true that diversity of in-It is a little-known fact that thesuperb novelist and playwrightThornton Wilder once taught here.tellectual pursuit and interdisciplinary studiesare an integral part of what is most prized atthis University. The students and scholars herehave a passion for finding unique ways oflooking at the world and searching for newways in which to interpret knowledge. Aspecific area of study — knowledge in depth— is emphasized not as a discrete field ofknowledge but rather as a tool of analysis andintellectual inquiry. There is, it is said, a “Uof C" way of looking at things. What perhapsthat means is viewing knowledge as somethingmultifaced and elusive which should be pur¬sued with innovative methods, rather than as amere static accumulation of facts.In our pursuit to understand or at least trainour minds to examine the world with a criticalperspective, the creative aspects of the Uni¬versity’s intellectual character often receiveless attention than they deserve. In addition tothe University's substantial academic tradition,it has a long heritage — though perhaps not asobvious — of association with artistic andliterary endeavors. For example, it is a little-known fact that the superb novelist and play¬wright Thornton Wilder once taught at theUniversity or that Gertrude Stein gave anastonishing and revolutionary lecture serieshere. Many people do not even realize that wehave a Department of Art at the University.The creative intellectual nature of the Univer¬sity’s goals is still present and in some waysstronger than ever before — if only we can become more aware of it.Many of the people on campus remainunaware of the artistic intellectual activitieswhich are constantly occurring. Undoubtedly,many plays and musical events are abundantlypublicized (as well they should be), but theUniversity is a largely untapped reservoir ofresources to appeal to one’s aesthetic sen¬sibilities. The University has many scholarswho produce fine imaginative as well asacademic works. The campus has severalexceptional art galleries which seem to belargely unknown to students. Even studentgroups active in creative intellectual affairs areoverlooked by the general population.With so many resources available it makessense that we should encourage such en¬deavors. The creative side of the University'stradition is an essential part of its intellectualdiversity. Enhancing the possibilities for artis¬tic. imaginative, and literary pursuit will serveto encourage even diverse and interestingintellectual development.For Agatha Christie,It's Zero Hour atthe Reynolds ClubFor Mr. Strange, his present wife, his ex-wife, his late guardian's widow, her otherward, the maid, and the family friend —turned amateur detective, “zero" is the mur¬der hour, and the culmination of twists ofcircumstances and secrets buried deep in thepast. What seems to be a holiday visit to LadyTressilian's estate turns out to be the scene fora beautifully planned crime and the product ofa twisted mind. All the characters have amotive oflnoney or love or both, but of coursethere is only one real killer. Sometimes thegreatest enjoyment in Agatha Christie plays istrying to guess whodunit, and this excellentcast gives us every opportunity to join in thedetective work by keeping the suspense upconstantly. Particularly good performances areturned in by Juan Luco as Neville Strange,Corey Seeman as Inspector Bittle, and JoeWalsh as Matthew Treves.Towards Zero is playing at the ReynoldsClub Third Floor Theater.

By theway, did someone actually use that pretentious bit of tritephraseology in reference to O’Gara’s? You know,O'Gara’s, the bookstore with rolling English libraryladders and a bison skull over the American Lit aisle?’’“Yes, ‘someone’ did refer to the O'Gara’s, the storewhich recently cut off necessary sunlight to its interiorwith ten or twelve square feet of signatures. Guess thetrees gave their lives to a worthy cause if the petition for anew lease actually went through.”“You must have been in a fog long before the rest ofthis city. The store’s staying. 1 talked to one of theorganizers of the upcoming “O’Gara’s-thanks-the-public”party and he thinks there was so much support because“Wait. Party?!? When?”“Let me finish! The reason for O’Gara’s renewal, andI quote; ‘The neighborhood's very cohesive. So manypeople live together ...’ Stop smirking and take the sentence in context. A lot of people, a lot of sales. Evenwithout you warping it. though, that quote is valuable asthe ultimate understatement. Fifty thousand people signedthose sheets.”“Or 25.000 Humanities majors signed twice. I agreethat’s impressive support. It might have been fatal toscrap the lease. But. Back. To. Party. When, where,how, why?”“When; Saturday, May 31, 1-5 pm. Where; I'llremember I’m dealing with a reporter. O’Gara’s ofcourse. On 57th Street. How; music by an Irish folkband, Samhrad; food: diversion for the kids and goodcompany, unless ...”“Don’t say it.”“You still need ‘why,’ which is best summed up byanother quote from one of the celebration’s organizers,‘Every successful controversy should end with a party.The world should work that way. but it doesn't always.'Actually, I was hoping for a word from the cat.”“Now that the petition drive is over, the cat is sleeping.I did wake him up, but he refused to comment on thegrounds that the angle has been over-used." The Fundamental ThingThe fundamental thing in life is notexactly love, but very close to it.The hate that burns, the heart its home, cannotdestroy, but only writhe within.The fundamental word in life is justa tool of trade, to use in art. and mustencompass all the parts of lifewith careful ambiguity, so asto leave a trifling element, a slightsuspicion of a doubt, in places thatbegin to touch on fundamental things.Perfect order does exist in nature, then,but with exceptions infinite.And this itself the balanced scale rightsbetween the fundamental thing in life—and what so many people tend to sayis fundamental in their lives today.Karen KolodenkoJoe Scroppo Solacecontinued from page 13real on television comes into his small academic haven. He is touched by it and doomed.But it still doesn’t seem quite real to him.Gladney watches his daughter sleep: “I pulled my chair up closer. Her face in sleepmight have been a structure designed solely to protect the eyes, those great, large andapprehensive things, prone to color phases and a darting alertness, to a perception ofdistress in others. I sat there watching her. Moments later she spoke again. Distinctsyllables this time, not some dreamy murmur — but a language not quite of this world. Istruggled to understand. I was convinced she was saying something, fitting together units ofstable meaning. I watched her face, waited. Ten minutes passed. She uttered two clearlyaudible words, familiar and elusive and the same time, words that seemed to have a ritualmeaning, part of a verbal spell or ecstatic chant. ‘Toyota Celica.' A long moment passedbefore I realized this was the name of an automobile. The truth only amazed me more."This scene represents the kind of confusion and delight that Delillo takes in the oddities ofthe modern world. But his character went to watch his daughter sleep just after realizing hewas infected with a chemical that would kill him eventually. The core of White Noise isabout death. Writing teachers often tell us that death, along with love, is taboo as a subjectfor writing. They may be right. Delillo at least knows that he isn't going to say anythingnew and completely original about death. But he does say something new about how peopletoday (people who may make phone calls from airplanes on route to Katmandu) fear death.Delillo knows that odd recess of the human mind. He manipulates his reader’s fear ofdeath so precisely that reading the book is an experience at once depressing, exhilirating anderotic. If you feel alone and afraid in this world of placating television sitcoms...or if youjust want to read a great book — read White Noise.—Frederic HumeThe friends ofJulie Anne PierogandLief Carlton Rosenquistwould like to congratulate thehappy couple on the announce¬ment of their engagement to bemarriedGood luck you crazy KidsThe Chicago Maroon—Friday, May 30, 1986—17CLASSIFIEDADVERTISINGClassified advertising in the Chicago Maroon is$2 for the first line and $1 for each additionalline.

Why can't I...?Solitude: the dialectic between the repulsionTia Blanca had a cancer that had grown toform eyes and nose on the upper part of heruterus. Since grandmother had died from a 7pound one, Tia Blanca's other sister thoughtthat it was best that she see the Naturalist. TheNaturalist gave Tia some grounds of somethingthat looked like coffee but had no smell. Tiamade the herb tea from the grounds everymorning and shared it with me, along withsome pan dulce that had been spared itsdestruction in the revolu after we left the shelterin the hurricane Tia said she was feeling muchbetter.I missed Tia when the first snow fell early inChicago last fall. I missed the way her whitehands rested the corner of each elbow in itspalm. The way her red lips coiled upwardly atthe edges, and her eyes smilingly bounced with“From my point of view.” said Mason, "it’sall a bunch of bull!” As he closed the door tofantasy hinging on the tension between thenatural and the supernatural, making a bee-linefor the American Dream, brown liquid sugar ina refrigerated, red, aluminum can — "Ah,”noticing that the Rockwell print, cover to an oldSaturday Evening Post, was tilted on the livingroom wall, “nothing like a coke when you'refeeling a little de-hy-drated. What was that youwere saying?”“Uh...I...didn’t think you were interested.”said Eric, knowing that Mason's interest in whathe said didn't really make much difference buthe pretended that it did anyway.“I’m interested,” said Mason with a mouthfulof bologna and cheese rolled up in his teeth, “Ijust don’t have to always agree do I, you're notone of those who’s always right are you?” Eric,now forgetting what he meant to say in the firstplace, realized that the bologna was his andgrabbed the package out of Mason’s hand —“Hey, give a starving dog a ..."“...a piece of bologna,” said Eric, "as soonas he starts paying his share of the rent "“What about a starving artist? Don’t youwanna support the arts, man9” The idea ofMason doing anything artistic gave the hilariousnerve in Eric’s back a tickle, just enough torelinquish the rest of the bologna into Mason'soutstretched hand. Mason was one of thoseguys that clung to the mid-sixtyish notion thathe could actually survive the capitalistic crisison a couple of lines and his good looks Maybenot so farfetched, thought Eric, the only trueartistry he could find in Mason was that he was to the world into which we have been thrown,againt our will?, and the failure to create forourselves its replacement. Solitude. Carla feltthe strings of the harpsichord violated by thetouch of man, vibrating to fill the vacant spacebetween living and dying, between presenceand absence, between lovers. No wind in herface, no sun on her cheeks, no fingers caress¬ing the inside of her palms, no whispers in thedark of night, no. Like the inevitable fallen treein the forest, sfe spoke and was not heard.Pantomiming through a wall of people on herway to work, nothing on their faces, no mes¬sage. They are not interested.

The school system of Gaston Co.is not equipped to handle the problems ofemotionally disturbed children. David is tenyears old. The city schools have only a limitedsupply of special education facilities. When wasthe last time David spoke? David, how old arelaughter at my lousy Spanish I missed Tia’sgentleness and her knowingness, although Inever got to spend much time with her. Notenough time for that knowingness to rub off.I ate bananas with my beans everyday be¬cause the Naturalist had told Tia that it wouldprevent uterine cancer. Grandmother died fromuterine cancer. Last October, uterine cancertook Tia, bouncing eyes and all, to heavenwithout explaining why. Mother says its best forTia she’s not in pain anymore. And of course. Ihave learned that what’s best for Tia is notalways best for me I didn’t get to spendenough time with her.Tia Blanca never married. My mother calledher the secular nun. She was a spiritualist anda naturalist; she refused to confuse her faithwith the tragedies of human errors. In thebottom drawer of a cherry nut dresser, that hadphysically, just plain beautiful. If he weren't soconfused about his own sexuality, thought Eric.I would have...years ago...just to test that flashyMasonic Machismo that verged on sexual in¬sanity. Mason was not suffering from, but ratherenjoying the whore/Madonna complex. Everywoman was an adventure to be had — nothingvulgar in the way he expressed it — but Ericknew that what Mason didn’t say was what hebelieved Never cut the mustard with the may¬onnaise. Mason had indeed fucked everywoman in the neighborhood, and a few thatEric wasn't really sure were women, but hetried to refrain from such painful speculationabout Mason. Every woman, except SheilaWith Sheila he ' made love ” Sheila cooked hissupper, cleaned his shit off the stairway to thebedroom, paid the rent and bought his boozeSheila the Santa Maria — Sheila was fuckingugly."She’s ugly,” said Eric.“What?” Mason lit the head of the bongfilled with leftover stems. "Who are you talkingabout?"“Sheila.”“I thought you said you loved her?”“More than you do. man," Eric laughed andpulled out a new stash he'd been hiding underthe couch “But she annoys me.” as if hehadn’t stopped speaking, “always doing forpeople, doing for you. you-good-for-nothin', youdon't deserve it.”“So who should I marry?” asked Mason ashe flipped on the stereo and the tv at the sametime, and grabbed the bong with the otherhand. “Sheila, who thinks I'm God. Karen, whosleeps with anything that moves, or Sar¬ah who you sleep with9”“I don't.”“Don’t lie to me, man. I know what I see.”said Mason with a smile, “She can’t even walk you? David is ten years old.

Yes,I promise.Your husband was killed in action? NorthKorean Front? We believe that David is suffer¬ing from the loss of his father but is afraid tocome from far away, like everything else inTia's house, were all the documents that toldwhat belonged to Tia. All the records of herchildhood, her diaries, her photographs and herwill. I was the only one who knew where the willwas. Also, the only one who knew that Tia had.as anyone should have expected, given every¬thing to the church. She had shown me the willand all of her personal things the year I turned18 when I visited the island house for the firsttime with my father. And then again, sheshowed me. last summer when I went alone Iknew Tia gave her life to the church but I alsoknew that the will itself would never stop thefamily from trying to claim the possessionsanyway.

With the en¬couragement of Giovanni, Heinrich publishedhis first tunes, a collection of Italian madrigals,which mate the top ten charts tor months in1612, These hits earned him the position of• Master of the Chapel of the Elector of Sax¬ony” at Dresden, but during the blackouts andriots of the Thiry Years’ War, he fled toCopenhagen. Schutz renewed his acquaintancewith Italian music during his vacation to Venicein 1628 to visit his hero, Monteverdi.As far as we know, Schutz never wrote anymusic solely as instrumental. Rumor has it thathe composed the first German opera as welt asseveral ballets, but this music has beenmysteriously lost. The only works that havesurvived are simple church compositions.These conservative Catholic pieces are similarto madrigals, but Venetian magnificence andcolor influenced him greatly He is consideredquite a rebel for not using traditional choralemelodies as was the fashion for futfy developedLutheran Baroque.Friday's performance will include his mostfamous The Seven Last Words which containssolo recitative (where choir members go soio)over a basso continuo, w> tie the words of Jesus(Paul MacLean) are set n a free and highlyexpressive monody The quality of this musicwill move one from the noise of Hyde Park tothe beauty of a sunset on a summer evening.This music seems to sum up in itself a quiet yetdeeply felt piety.The Motet Choir has agreed to assume thewarm-up band position for the Femmes at 8pm.

Polka-meister RickMADNESS &by Jeff BrillThe GCJ has, in the past, reviewed recordsand bands, but for some reason beyond mycomprehension has never contained reviews ofany of the hot dance d.j.’s who are ever soabundant on our fine campus. With so manydance d.j.’s on the scene, it’s hard to determinewho most deserves written attention, but threein particular (Patrick “Foxey” Moxey, Rick“Saint Richard” Wojcik, and Brett “Blixa”Bobley) stand out in the crowd. Why, just beingin a room with any of these cut-masters isenough to get anyone’s feet moving.Patrick “Foxey” Moxey began his d.j. careerat age four, in his native England. When hisdad brought home a Kenner Close-and-Play,Patrick began playing various nursery rhymes,and soon noticed that certain rhymes hadsimilar beats Not long after this, a secondClose-and-Play was put at Patrick’s disposal (abirthday gift from thoughtful Aunt Hortense),and the young Mr. Moxey was able to constructa homemade mixer from an old toaster, yarn,and a boiled trout. Patrick had a natural gift forlining up the beats, and began spinninggrammar school dances.During his high school years in West Berlin,the adolescent Patrick was already so proficient on the tables that he opened a highly respectedd.j. school, Der Plattenspielenschulplatz, sothat his talents could be passed on, at least inpart, to the masses of want-to-be’s, in return forcold cash money. The d.j. classes were alwaysfilled to capacity, despite the strict rubber,leather, or PVC only dress code.Here in Chicago, Patrick’s unique hot mixingstyle is in no small demand. He often gets paidlong dollars to spin at Chicago nightspots, suchas Smart Bar. Patrick is down with many d.j.greats, including Whiz Kid, Red Alert, and JoeShanahan, all of whom cite Patrick as a majorinfluence. Patrick can mix two records togetherlike no one’s business; he can repeat beats,repeat off-beats and play Big Audio Dynamiteby request. He can scratch so well he issometimes hired for part-time work by a poisonivy clinic. My only criticism of Patrick is that hesometimes plays too much New Order andMinistry.Rick "Saint Richard” Wojcik got his d.j.name when an entire hall of fans claimed tohave seen Jesus while listening to Rick spin.What makes Rick so special is the hip way inwhich he combines modern electrodance withthe famous polka music that is his roots. Rick’sfather is the famous accordian player, CrazyUNDER THE BIG BLACK SCREENby Lance SelfaWith all due respect to The Replacements,The Minutemen, and R.E.M. (among others) theLos Angeles quartet X is arguably the bestAmerican rock band to emerge in the 1980s.Unfortunately, for all its critical acclaim, X isbarely known outside of L.A.The gap between deification in the musicpress and obscurity in the record bins is thecrux of the band's aptly-titled rockumentary TheUnheard MusicThis is no ordinary rock documentary. Mostfilms in the genre adopt one major approach:"on-the-road” concert tour chronologies (Rol¬ling Stones’ Gimme Shelter)-, biographical ac¬counts of band’s history (The Who’s The KidsAre Alright); surreal musings on an artist’sthemes (Neil Young's Journey Through thePast): or straightforward concert films (TalkingHeads' Stop Making Sense). The UnheardMusic is a fantastically entertaining—and com¬petent-combination of all of these stylesThe band’s hard-driving country/punk soundprovides energetic accompaniment to the rapidvisual cuts between the interviews, concertfootage, actors’ enactment of some of X’ssongs and a dizzying array of pop-cultureimages culled from television, advertising, cor¬porate propaganda and Hollywood All of thesework to introduce not only the band’s music,but also its themes: the corporate strangleholdon new music, a concern for the world’s have-nots, its love-hate relationship with Los An¬geles, family ties.Interviews with X’s original mem¬bers—guitarist Billy Zoom, drummer D.J.Bonebrake, singer/songwriter Exene Cervenkaand bass player/smger John Doe—establishthem as musicians who know where they camefrom.Bonebrake improvises on vibes while payingtribute to eclectic rocker Captain Beefheart andjazzman Lionel Hampton. Zoom tells of hismusician father's pride in accompanying thegreat jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. Doe andCervenka practice harmonies on guitar-and-vocal standards from a dogeared songbook ofold country standardsDIVEST NOW But the most poignant tribute to the band'smusical forebears is Cervenka’s reading of herpoem "Percy Mayfield” over some grainy foot¬age of the veteran bluesman fronting a band inan all-Black club. A mid-1950s interview withFats Domino, in which he insists that the newpopular music rock-and-roll was the same stuffhe played in New Orleans 20 years before,completes the segment.Clearly. X is a band which cares about itsroots. On each of its five albums, but mostclearly on Under the Big Black Sun (1982) andMore Fun in the New World (1983), the bandincorporated bits of American folk under a punkveneer. Though critics generally lumped X inwith punk bands which appeared in the late-1970s L.A. underground, like The Germs andThe Alleycats, X’s willingness to experimentwith a variety of musical styles and its in¬telligent lyrical poetry set them apart.Still, for all its efforts, X is realitveiy unknown.Why? X has a ready answer. Corporate Amer¬ica's control of the airwaves. From the tune“The Unheard Music” on X’s 1980 debut LosAngeles to “I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts,”which linked U S. imperialism in Central Amer¬ica to record companies' suppression of un¬derground music in the U S. on More Fun in theNew World, this has been a constant theme ofX’s.Here, the juxtaposition of interviews with asmarmy executive at megacompany MCA andwith a scruffy producer at L.A. independentSlash (the company which broke X, The Blas¬ters, Los Lobos, Rank and File and the ViolentFemmes, among others) is enough to rest X's case. Perhaps that’s why the band felt compel¬led to make The Unheard Music.Will The Unheard Music finally liberate Xfrom obscurity? No one can say. But in styleand substance, the film seems tailored to anaudience of X fans. Presumably, preaching tothe converted isn’t the film's intent. But if that isits outcome, listeners will be the worse for it. Xis a brilliant band that certainly deserves to beheard.There is another proviso for X fans. For thosewho know the band’s recent history (this filmwas released on the West Coast last year), itwill have an air of nostalgia. Billy Zoom has leftthe band, replaced by The Blasters’ Dave Alvin.And X’s quest for commercial respectabilityled it to release Ain’t Love Grand, the first Xalbum not produced by ex-Door Ray Manzarek(who is featured prominently in The UnheardMusic) and the first X album vilified in the musicpress for capitulating to heavy metal. (That Ain'tLove Grand isn’t as bad as all the doomsdayerssaid, or that its "sellout” didn’t make X anymore popular than it was before is beside thepoint.)The Unheard Music may anticipate some ofthese changes. It includes no X music releasedafter 1983. While the first hour is lively, hum¬orous and vibrant, the last 20 minutes seem likea string of videos illustrating several X songs.Were interviews about the band’s futuredropped at the last minute?Still, 7he Unheard Music adds up to 85 greatminutes of music that can prod you out of yourchair And the only better way to spend 85minutes with X is to see the band live. Thanks to breakthroughs in hormone therapy,Brett no longer looks so much like RodRoger Wojcik, and although Rick doesn’t playan accordian, he has a love for polka music inhis blood. Basically, what Rick does, is mixdance smash hits like the Revolting Cocks’ “NoDevotion” or Cabaret Voltaire’s “Sensoria”with the polka classics of yesteryear, such as“Beer Barrel Polka” or "Polka, Polka, Polka,Polka.” Although the two styles are at oppositeends of the musical spectrum, St. Rick man¬ages to mix them so smoothly it hurts, and thuspresents a seamless wall of funk/polka foreveryone’s dancing pleasure. I, for one, wouldsooner stick my own tongue into an electric fanthan miss a chance to hear Rick spin.Brett "Blixa” Bobley is hard to describebecause he is so full of tricks—he has thetalent of Chuck Chillout, the wardrobe of AnitaSarko, and is, in general, more fun than abarrel of rabid monkeys. The last time I sawBrett spin, he was dressed in a metal fez, opentoe wedgies, and not much else. He started hisshow by flawlessly mixing five hits from thedance/funk, rap. and disco reggae formats. Hismixes were right on the one, and the crowd wassimply out of control on the floor. After the fifthsong, Brett went off the wall by scratch-mixingNoam Chomsky lecturing in Hindi over a megamix of "Play that Beat.” Before the night wasover, the metal fez was thrown into the audi¬ence. and the open toe wedgies were stolen offof Brett's feet by an overzealous fan.By the way, all three of these hot d.j.’s will bespinning at the WHPK party Saturday night inIda Noyes It's got to be one of the most under¬publicized events of the year.4—FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1986—GREY CITY JOURNALThe Major Acitivites Boardpresents1985-1986 Financial Report toFee-PayersArtist: Jimmy CliffOct. 26, 1985 Jean Luc Ponty Video Dance Philip GlassDate: Nov. 15, 1985 Jan. 18, 1986 April 13, 191 o/$12Ticket Price(student/other): $5/$l0 $7/$ 12 $2ExpensesTalent: $9,900 $10,000 $3,050 $8,500Production: 1,738 1,790 46Facilities: 872 1,057 271 557Hospitality:Publicity: 891 610 1,007 375630 809 579 1,344Box Office Services: 95 244 0 187Total Cost: $14,126 $14,510 $4,857 $11,008Ticket Receipts: 4,540 4,686 1,714 6,576Subsidy: $ 9,586 $ 9,824 $3,143 $ 4,432Artist:Date:Ticket Price(student/other): Kuviasungnerk ConcertFeb. 1, 1986$5/$10ExpensesTalent: 1.

LEGAL BATTLESTo manv people in our society, thephrase “lesoian mother” is confusingand contradictory. Ignorance abouthomosexuality and insensitivity towomen have made it difficult for manypeople to deal with the concept of les¬bian mothers. Since sexual intercoursewith a man is necessary for a woman tobecome pregnant, and since lesbianshave sexual relationships with otherwomen, the common belief is that les¬bian mothers cannot exist. Although thepremises are true, the conclusion is not.Nancy Polikoff & Nan Hunter‘‘Custody Rights of Lesbian Mothers:Legal Theory and Litigation Strategy,”25 Buffalo Law Review 691 (1976)by Michele Marie Bonnarens and Irwin KellerThe conclusion certainly is far from true.Often gay men and lesbians raise children fromprevious marriages. Adoptions by a single(sometimes lesbian) parent are becoming moreand more frequent. In greater numbers womenare choosing artificial insemination in order tostart families without resort to a traditionalmodel of nuclear family ordering.Change is evident in the blossoming of gayand lesbian parents' groups and in recentexplosion of resource materials available onlesbian and gay parenting.Change is also evidenced (as always) byresistance to it. Our society and its legalstructures drag their heels, not merely un¬accepting, but often downright hostile to newsituations which it perceives as threatening.Custody is challenged, visitation rights cur¬tailed. adoption prohibited or complicated bylegislative fiat.Lesbian and gay parents can find themselvesat the center of controversy, regularly toleratinga scrutiny of their fitness as parents thatheterosexuals would not have to endure in theworst of circumstances.Usually, the worst fear of a lesbianmother, and the greatest emotionaltrauma and legal problem that she canencounter, is a custody battle for herchild based on the grounds that hersexuality renders her ‘‘unfit.” The casesinvolving lesbian mothers over¬whelmingly demonstrate the difficultythey face in attempting to maintain cus¬tody of their children and to affirm theirself-identity at the same time. (Id. at 692)Nancy Polikoff addresses these concernsdaily, as she is involved in litigation and coun¬seling on behalf of women in such situations.As staff attorney for the Women's Legal De¬fense Fund in Washington, D C., she hasrepresented the interests of lesbian mothersextensively in the courts. As an academic, shestrives to educate the legal community, pub¬lishing numerous articles analyzing the realitiesof custody and its relationship to gender andsexual orientation. Ms Polikoff. herself the co¬parent of a three year old child, has been abold and articulate advocate of family lawliberalization, presenting papers at conferencesnationwide and delivering testimony beforecommittees of the Canadian Parliament, theUnited States Senate, and local legislaturesStrong in its affirmation of lesbian motherhood,Polikoff's work brings a positive force to anoften hostile system.Speaking on “Alternative Families, LesbianCustody (and Other Innovations in Life andLaw)” at the University of Chicago Law Schoolon May 20, Polikoff noted the different points ofview adopted by the courts with respect tothese various issues.The Best Interest of the ChildWhen custody is challenged, the commonstandard is to determine what is “in the bestinterest of the child,” how the mother’s les¬bianism is seen to contribute or detract fromthese interests may differ not only from state tostate, but also from judge to judge.The lesbian mother is certain to lose custodyin those courts which accept that, by reason ofher sexual orientation, she is an unfit motherper se. Such an attitude was adopted byVirginia when its Supreme Court reversed atrial level decision that had favored a gay fatherwho was living with his lover. Though thefather’s sexual orientation had not been seen tohave any adverse affects on the child, whom hehad had custody of for four years, the SupremeCourt declared him unfit per se as a matter oflaw, and granted custody to the motherEven if the lesbian mother is spared such anautomatic conclusion of unfitness, there stillremains the issue of whether or not her sexualorientation can be taken into account at allwhen trying to decide what is in the bestinterest of the child Though heterosexuality isusually preferred by the courts, the lesbianmother stands a better chance of retainingcustody in those states which have adoptedwhat Polikoff referred to as the “nexus test.”Such states require that a connection be es¬tablished between a parent’s conduct and itsimpact on the child. It would thus be necessaryfor it to be established that for that particularchild and that particular mother, the mother’slesbianism has an adverse impact on the child.If this cannot be established, her lesbianismmay be considered irrelevant. Cases heard inIllinois are more likely to result in a per sejudgement, though the “nexus test” is makingheadway in other statesEven with such a requirement, the lesbianmother’s advocate may find herself in the position of having to educate the judges, callingupon expert witnesses from the mental healthprofessions in an attempt to alter the stereo¬types that judge may have of the lesbianmother—stereotypes that exist despite studiesthat indicate no significant difference betweenheterosexual and homosexual mothers’ self¬descriptions of the characteristics of an “idealchild.”A fear expressed by many courts is that thechild sharing in such a household will her/himself “become gay.” This deduction may bemet by pointing out obvious facts that are likelyto slip the minds of the judges—such as thatthe lesbian mother has typically grown up in aheterosexual environment This is not to sug¬gest that growing up with a mother who islesbian won’t have some affects on the child; infact, one noted characteristic of such children istheir tendency to be more tolerant of hom¬osexuality.Feeling Good a No-NoEven when the lesbian mother does not havehorrible case law against her, she may findherself up against other pre-judgements. She ismore likely to be granted custody if she ap¬pears part of the mainstream If she has amiddle-of-the-road point of view on politicalissues, a repressed sexuality and sex-stereotyped behavior, the judge may be able toregard her lesbianism as “somewhat overthere” and not a reason to deny custodyOn the other hand, a mother who is proud ofher lesbianism, feels good about herself, ispolitically active and involved in alternativechild-rearing will often find herself being judgedunfit by the courts—a judgement also passedon activist heterosexual wimminGiven that the court may be influenced byhow “extreme” they judge a womyn’s les¬bianism to be, she may find herself pressuredto alter her relationship with her lover, or herwhole life, in an attempt to make her lesbianismas minimal an issue as possible in the courtroom. The fact remains, however, that assevere as these charges might be, there is noguarantee that she will be granted custody ofher children.Polikoff stressed the responsibility this putson lawyers, who may pass on insensitive advicewithout realizing the significant impact thatfollowing such advice would have on theirclient’s life. She related an instance of a lawyerin North Carolina who counseled a client to liveapart from her lover while her custody case wasbeing decided Assessing the case. Polikoffchallenged the lawyer as to whether or not sucha move was really the difference betweenwinning and losing. It seemed to Polikoff thatthe mother was already likely to lose, and wasbeing counseled to do something that wouldcause permanent damage to her relationshipwith her lover. Polikoff was amazed by theresponse of the mother’s lawyer, who statedthat the two could move back in together afterthe court's decision was made. This “out tolunch” attitude was derided by Polikoff, whodeclared: “Our lovers and significant others arenot yo-yos to be tossed out and let to comeback.”Over by FivePolikoff noted that one tactic used by lawyerswhen dealing with custody cases involvingolder children is to appeal to studies thatindicate that a person's sexual orientation isdetermined by the age of five, in this way givinganswer to the myth that children in a lesbianhousehold will grow up to be gay Polikoff foundsuch an appeal politically offensive, stating Idon’t think it's in anyone's interest to claim it'sall determined by the age of five,” and ex¬pressed hope that there be an "opennessmaking it possible for us to grow and change ”Choosing Children; Biology and the StateMoving to a discussion concerning the legalrights of lesbian wimmin who have chosenmotherhood—that is to say, lesbian wimminwho are not married and have no interest inbeing married—Polikoff elaborated on two op¬tions open to such wimmin.One choice involves the state, as the lesbianwomyn seeks to adopt or be involved in fosterparenting. Everything can stand in the way ofsuch a choice, as a recent decision in Mas¬sachusetts has brought home There, thoughthe biological parents knew about, and hadagreed to, the placing of their child with a gaymale couple, this stable set-up was cut off byan order from the state's executive branch Apreference was stated calling for placement ina home where someone would be there all day “Guess who that would be,” Polikoff wrylyadded.Polikoff knew of no jurisdiction in whichadoption by lesbian wimmin and gay men wasexplicitly prohibited, though only a handful ofprivate agencies (and certainly no state agen¬cies) will openly support such an adoption.Many lesbian wimmin have adopted as singleparents without their lesbianism being known.Polikoff here warned against the dangers oflying about one’s sexuality; but, as she re¬minded those present in response to a laterquestion, “I wouldn’t volunteer (the informa¬tion).” She noted that the agency would rathernot know anyway, since they would have towrite the information down and might faceproblems later on for knowingly allowing suchan adoption She added that internationaladoption is sometimes easier, though policieshere, too, may vary widely.As usual, a California decision provided anexception to the rule in regard to lesbianmotherhood In San Francisco two wimminwere together permitted joint adoption of achild This was done with the approval of thebirth mother, who was herself the fifteen yearold daughter of a lesbian. The adopted infant’sbirth certificate reads “Parent One” and “Par¬ent Two” and is printed with the names of thewimmin who jointly adopted the child.Given the tangle the state may present toadoption, lesbian wimmin choosing childrenhave been turning to biology more and moreHere state interference often stops; it "justdoesn't have that kind of control,” Polikoffassured her audience. The legal work for suchcases usually involves the biological rights ofthe father or sperm donor, if the womyn has notused unknown donor sperm from a spermbank.To illustrate potential problems a lesbianwomyn may face when choosing biologicalmotherhood. Polikoff related a case in Califor¬nia in which a womyn was artificially in¬seminated outside a doctor’s office. A relativelyeasy procedure to do on one s own. never¬theless an artificial insemination statute existsin California that states that unless the womynis artificially inseminated by a doctor, the spermdonor retains his legal rights with respect to thechild In the California case, the known donor,having originally turned over all of his rights,eventually changed his mind. The decisionseemed to be made “through the prodding ofhis parents, who decided they really wanted agrandchild after all,” Polikoff passed on Shestated that since there was ' originally no intentfor him to be a father, that should govern.”However, as the law exists in California, thestate is legitimately entitled to make a distinc¬tion between a doctor's actions and whatpeople do privately, and the father successfullychallenged tne mother's exclusive rights.For a lesbian wornyn to ensure her freedomfrom later interference by the biological father.Polikoff stressed the necessity of a state statu¬tory scheme to give protection. She pointed outthat, as it is, it is unlikely that any court wouldhave a live body and say he's not entitled tosome rights—even if he has signed a contractturning over those rights. Polikoff noted thatthis situation is secured in that “we don’t live ina time that's particularly hospitable to alter¬native family lifestyles, not to single wimmin.”Polikoff advised that a lesbian womyn’s onlyguarantee that her rights will not be challengedis to choose an unknown donor or use a sourceprotected by law. such as artificial inseminationby a doctor if she resides in California.The Rights of the Non-Biological MotherAs to the question of the rights of the legalmother's lover, Polikoff was quick to say: “It’san easy answer She doesn't have any rights.”Even if all else goes smoothly, such a legalpower imbalance can easily affect the relation¬ship between the two lovers. This point was leftfor the audience to think about as Polikoffdiscussed the rights of the non-biologicalmother with respect to termination of the rela¬tionshipIn a case from California, the biologicalmother had been artificially inseminated withunknown donor sperm When the child was sixor seven the biological mother died and herparents sued for custody as against the loverThey were successful This, despite the factthat the child identified with the non-biologicalmother as fully as the biological mother. Poli-koff emotionally exclaimed: “To me that's al¬most more horrible than anything I can possiblyimagine!” The courts gave no recognition to therelationship, though the child had always calledthe non-biological mother “Mom."As the law currently exists in most places,the surviving biological parent is entitled tocustody. This means that if there is an identi¬fiable father, he is given preference in custody over the non-biological mother—despite howminimal his contact or how intensive her con¬tact with the child may have been.The termination of a relationship as a resultof a break-up presents the advocate with adifferent challenge with respect to how toprotect the relationship between the child andthe non-biological mother. Polikoff added that itwas “no accident these cases are going tocome out of California, but as we know Califor¬nia is no indication of what’s going to happen inthe rest of the country.”One approach an advocate might try is toseek a general expansion of the law concerningthe rights of non-parents A number of prob¬lems may result from such a tactic. There is atendency, as it is, to grant custody to grand¬parents, babysitters and neighbors who maywind up with the children as a result of courtshorrified that lesbians have children Consequ¬ently, to ask for a general expansion, but turnaround the next day and say “No, no, no—thisis the Mom,” introduces a potential inconsist¬ency when trying to determine custodyThe advocate may attempt an appeal topsychological parenthood, pointing out that itwould be best for the children to be with thosethey identity as parents, even if a person soindentified is not a biological parent. Polikoffstated that the argument so presented suggestspotential misuses, as is illustrated by the factthat this is an appeal often used to takechildren away from poor wimmin who havetended to rely on extended networks whileworking. Custody may thus be denied, even ifsuch a womyn had her child in mind, since she“(wasn't) there.”Solution a Long Way OffPolikoff remarked that a solution that grantedlegal parenthood to both parents is a long wayoff, claiming that “It's not going to be real”unless, perhaps, “you live in San Francisco:but that's going to be it.”Such a solution was approximated in anAlaska case in which there was a known donorfather In this case, the mother's lover wasgranted legal parenthood without termination ofeither of the biological parents' rights. Thus thechild now has three legal parents. This decisionwas made by a trial level judge, and there wasno one on the other side to appeal it (in order toobtain a ruling with greater precedential value),since an appeal would only be made by some¬one who lost in courtPolikoff stated that it takes lesbian wimminbeing test cases everywhere for progress to bemade *n this area of the lawOther InnovationsPolikoff reviewed some current cases infamily law of particular interest to lesbianwimmin and gay men with respect to the legalrecognition of their relationships She ex¬pressed faith in the legal system and declaredone particular case in Minnesota to be "sooutrageous" that she could not help but think“on the next level she's going to win.” Thecase involves two lesbian lovers, one of whomwas seriously injured in a car accident. Theinjured womyn’s father continues to deny hisdaughter's lesbianism, and has blocked herlover from seeing her—this, despite the im¬provement that his daughter was making whileher lover was spending time with her When thefather found an expert " to say that his daugh¬ter was in a state that might subject her tobeing sexually abused her lover's visits werestopped The womyn's condition has sincedeclined, and the Minnesota Civil LibertiesUnion is now representing the injured womynPolikoff emphasized that this case is a "verypoignant example of how tar lesbians and gayshave to go to get any recognition as families.”AIDS and Lesbian MotherhoodPolikoff closed her presentation with a dis¬cussion of effects of AIDS on lesbian wimmin.Though the only known lesbian wimmin withAIDS are IV drug users AIDS hysteria has hadsignificant fallout on lesbian wimmin Polikoffrelated an instance in Minnesota where thevisitation rights a lesbian mother had had forten years were denied out of fear that the childwould be exposed to AIDSFrom her own experience. Polikoff gave theexample of a discussion with a justice of theSupreme Court of West Virginia Taking advan¬tage of a rare opportunity to talk to such apersonnage. she began to question the justiceconcerning custody cases and the status of theprimary caretaker with respect to lesbian par¬ents. The response she was given was “Wedon't have much of that around here,” whichwas followed by the comment that the issuewould have to be rethought since AIDS Polikoffremembered. After I picked myself up off thefloor. I thought 'This is trouble ’ ’’She stressed that AIDS has led to all sorts ofrepressive measures against gay men. but thatthe syndrome has also come up in the contextof lesbian wimmin's rights, touching lesbianlives m a significant way.Glad to Hear ItPolikoff's talk, sponsored by the University ofChicago Lesbian and Gay Law Student Asso¬ciation and the University of Chicago LawWomen's Caucus, was received well by anaudience that included a number of lesbianmothers. Questions fielded by Polikoff includedqueries by some of these wimmin, some ofwhom are currently involved in custody dis¬putes One lesbian mother's two year old madeno comment on the talk, but seemed to enjoythe snack crackers served afterwardsDIVEST NOWGREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY MAY 30, -<986 7LETTER: SIC JOKE YYYYTo the Editor:I must admit that it took me a while to figureout what your little “sic”s were about in WayneScott's letter of Friday, May 23. (Or maybe it’ssic’s. Alas, I never know these things.) Afterconsiderable cogitation, I inferred that ‘‘Black"is supposed to be capitalized, something I wasnot aware of. Apparently, however, “white” isnot supposed to be capitalized, which leavesme confused.Is this some sort of typographical affirmativeaction? If so, I applaud it vigorously. However,it does seem a bit strident to insert "(sic)” after“black” in no fewer than seven places — threein just one paragraph. This is distracting and adisservice to the writer of the letter. Once isenough, with perhaps an explanatory comment.If people don't get the point from one “(sic)” itwould seem that the comment is even moreappropriate. Were it a less politically-chargedbit of typography, I would expect the editor tosimply exercise editorial prerogative andchange the b’s to B’s. In this case, however,that might undercut some intended message —one never knows.(Anyway, if we re going to get picky, accord¬ing to my Merriam-Webster\ square brackets,not parentheses, are in order for editorialcomments, as in “sexual violence of black (sic)[sic] men against white women.”)I am still curious as to the logic of thiscapitalization — is it really affirmative action? Atfirst I figured that we were using “Black” as theofficially sanctioned replacement for "Negro,”which (being the name of a race) is capitalized.Does that mean that “white” is not an officiallysanctioned word for Caucasian? If not, why arewe using it? Unfortunately, I don’t have TheChicago Manual of Style handy — but perhapsonly Cecil Adams could give us the straightdope on this. Unless, of course, there's a GCJManual of Politically Correct Style, in whichcase I’d like to put in my order. It's so hard tokeep up sometimes — I’m liberal but notfashionable. Just tell me what to do.But seriously now, I am not discussing the main content of the letter involved (or the articlewhich prompted it), and I am not any kind ofnasty reactionary — I do in fact favor affirmativeaction, nonsexist writing, progressive taxes,and the like. However, editorial condescensionabout something as trivial as failing to typog¬raphically bend over backwards strikes me asgoing a tad too far. (I’ll give money, but please,please, don’t touch the capitals.) You wouldn’twant to reinforce the GCJs reputation for in¬sufferable pretentiousness.I anxiously await the GCJs obligatory scath¬ing reply. Sincerely,Paul R. WilsonThe Editor replies:Nothing scathing about it — I’m glad to havean opportunity to explain our logic, since it’ssomething I’ve thought a good deal about.There's no manual — our style is continually“in process.”Black is capitalized because Black is aproper name of a racial group, as you sur¬mised. White is not capitalized because it doesnot really refer to a specific racial group, butrather, it is ar. adjective which is commonlyused to describe a lot of racial groups. Thecase of Black and white is really about ac¬curacy as well as politics; we feel the same wayabout non-gender-specific language.I agree that brackets would be stylisticallypreferable, but unfortunately, they are notavailable in Helios, the typeface we love. (Wecan’t get accents, tildes, or umlauts, either,which is why we are forced to italicize foreignwords.)If Mr Scott’s letter had been an article, Iwould have capitalized his B’s in the course ofstandard copy-editing. However, it is not ourpolicy to edit letters — hence, for consistency’ssake, the sics were included.Again, thanks for the opportunity to clarifythe matter. Watch for a whole new set ofstylistic decisions from the new editorial regime,starting summer quarter. —Stephanie Bacon Open letter to CASH:I am surprised that there should be anycontroversy on the question of whether or notan organization like CASH has a place on ourcampus. Considering the insidious per¬vasiveness of sexual harassment, and themany forms it takes, I am only sorry that CASHwasn’t around several years ago when I was anentering freshman. A resident assistant in mydorm frequently made sexual references to mybody, and even when he didn’t verbally refer tome in this inappropriate, degrading fashion,when I passed him in the halls or the lounge(which believe me, I tried to avoid), he looked atme as though he were assessing my physicalparts as one would assess a cut of steak.Today I am infuriated that a University em¬ployee, endowed with the responsibility of faci¬litating student adjustment, could get away withsuch unprofessional behavior. I am also galledthat an intelligent man in his mid twenties whocertainly ought to know better could have theinsensitivity and cruelty to pick on a teenagerwho was obviously at a disadvantage in thesituation. But my strongest feeling in consider¬ing the incident is one of regret. I wish I hadhad the self-confidence and the external re¬sources to identify what was happening assexual harrassment per se At the time, eventhough this man’s attentions made me feeluncomfortable, self-concious and degraded, Iwas so conditioned by society to view men’sphysical objectification of women, even whenunwanted, as normal, that I did not blame myharasser or identify his behavior as in¬appropriate. Instead I felt confused by myreactions and proceeded to blame myself forthe feelings of exposure and shame which hehad caused.On any given day or night, as I walk throughChicago or Hyde Park, I am likely to be verballythreatened or harassed by those who considerit their privilege, their God-given right to assaultme with dehumanizing comments, and to actself-righteous or derisive when I refuse to HOw I Cot AwayQuick fame of hands and shouldersplit the frameopened the lockvibration shook then shatteredthe angled paneshimmering, green, blue,the waterfall poured downat my feet“How lovelyfor an InstantpeaceThe need to escape sent usthrough the startled occupants“SORRY!”scrambling out the back intothe rubble and destruction ofabandoned buildingsto hide.—Miles Mendenhallrespond. Considering the dehumanization ofwomen in the media via the relentless criticismof and focus upon our bodies, I am notsurprised by the insulting street behavior I amforced to deal with. It seems that men of anyclass, age, and race are likely to treat womenwith disrespect, and indeed, with malice. Butconsidering the nature of the University, and itsideals as a place of higher learning, consideringthe tremendous tuition bill which I face eachmonth, I want steps to be taken which willensure that everyone knows that the universityis an institution which will not condone ortolerate this behavior. And I think that furtherinquiry into the forms and meaning of sexualharassment is essential if we want to transformour University into a non-discriminatory in¬stitution. —AnonymousLETTER: WE NEED CASHby Paul ReubensSeveral months ago. Chicago televisionviewers were permitted the chance to see amovie version of Richard Strauss’ operaElectra. conducted by Karl Bohm, on channel11. It was an amazing production in that,although supposedly placed in classical Argos(following the assassination of the soldier/kingAgamemnon) it was set amongst the cin-derblock ruins of a bombed out and destroyedcity. The screams of an oppressed peoplehowled as the tyrant’s whips cracked mer¬cilessly in the background: if this was notprecisely a “post-war” conscious rendition ofthe classical and operatic story, then, certainlythis production of Strauss' opera was rich witha genuine hatred of war, tyranny, and anunbalanced economic system which tormentsand enslaves the poor Undeniably, it was arevised portrayal of the Oresteia legend in¬corporating the work's cyclical notion of deathpaying for death into new. modernist sur¬roundings — Aeschylus’ and Strauss' story in adifferent, more innovative way.It was this idea which entered my mind whileI awaited the Suzuki Company of Toga. Japan’sacclaimed and world popular production ofEuripides’ The Trojan Woman during the Chic¬ago International Theater Festival The notionof Kabuki/Noh-style productions of westernclassics is no longer a particularly new one,although it continues to delight and amuse us:note the recently successful remounting of theWisdom Bridge company’s Faust into a work ofKabuki theater, and the equally popular KabukiMedea, but Tadashi Suzuki's works seem tohave been the seminal works in bridging theWestern and Eastern theatrical universes. Whathas emerged here is a whole new form oftheater: neither completely Oriental nor west¬ern, this new sort of drama is a sort of synthesisof both types.“A post-atomic” Trojan Women, this produc¬tion could have been a ghastly maudlin drekepic, not unlike the horrendously melodramaticThe Day After, but somehow, utilizing stylizedelements of Japanese theater, instead of theultra-realistic post-attack special effects of thetelevision movies, the anti-war, anti-aggressionmessage of the piece is made the more ob¬vious. With the minimalist use of set, theJapanese dance pieces, and the theatricalconventions by which one movement suggestsa complex train of emotional thought, the play’smessage is brutally clear; for The TrojanWoman is more a play of ambiance and aurathan anything else: dialogue is underplayedheavily in favor of theatrical elements likecostume and motion.One thing must be made very clear here,however, and that is that whatever this play is,it is not The Trojan Women of Euripides.Rather, it is some completely different workwhose inspiration was taken from the Greekoriginal Tadashi Suzuki, the director and forcebehind the work, is a genius in innovation, andhis work in adapting the Euripides’ play isDIVEST NOW nothing short of phenomenal, but it must beadmitted, he creates a different and excellentpiece entirely. “Using Euripides’ work as astarting point,” Suzuki states in the program, “Istaged a situation in which an old woman whohas been driven from her gutted home livesthrough the legends of Troy in her fantasy”.The results are unique, unusual, and not un-Euripidean, as startling an indictment of warand post-war atrocities, as any pro-peace anti¬ nuclear partisan could wish for.The story is, in the Japanese Kabuki andNoh traditions, quite complex: an old woman atthe end of World War Two whose entire familywas killed during the war is possessed by thespirits of the Trojan Hecuba and Cassandra,and forced to relive, as them, the horrendousaftermath of the Trojan War. At certain pointsduring the flashbacks, the old woman reverts toher post-World War Two time to show how the past war pain and angst is timeless, and how,as the program notes, "her destiny is somehowthe same as the Trojan Women.” The grotes¬que atrocities continue; we see her grandchildkilled, we see the chorus of old men butchered,and the pain continues and mounts until, at theend, the old woman dies, destitute, to the tuneof a ghastly Japanese pop song, the onlyEnglish words of which were “I want you tolove me tonight” (supposedly reflecting, albeitsomewhat unclearly. the misery of the poor whoare plowed under to create the bustling moderneconomy). The Trojan Women, here, becomesa play about madness, as well as one about thepure shamefulness of war.Everything in this play is stylized, certainlythe acting, which is little more than a feveredrecitation of lines, but also the set, and thesound effects Koyosho Shiraishi, the actresswho plays the old woman, and the spirits of thelong-dead Trojan women, is a wonderful crea¬tion; she invents a completely different charac¬ter for each of her roles here, and yet behindthem all there is one unifying force of torment.Shiraishi is apparently considered a JoanPlowright institution in her own country; and nodoubt she deserves her accolades, for she is afine actress. Also giving wonderful perform¬ances are Kosuke Tsutamori. Haruo Takayama,and Yarushi Kimura as the warriors Meneleus,Agamemon, and Odysseus, respectively,played in this stylized drama as a sort ofcombination of samurai warrior, barbarianchieftain, and pure rutting animal. It is a ratherunpleasant addition that, although one of thegrotesque bestial warriors is in fact dressed asa classical Greek soldier, the others are dres¬sed as contemporary westerners: a torn tee-shirt, a swinging red-cross kit give them away.Another not-so-subtle anti-westernism is thatthe stage is dressed with pieces of cloth andshrowd carefully draped to represent a largemushroom cloud, that quintessential inventionof the 20th century west. And perhaps, nativeisolationsim is a strong theme within the pro¬duction: the west has given us destruction andmisery, the characters fairly shriek, keep themaway from us. On the other hand, the play’smessage is even more nihilistic and world-bitterthan that; at the base of the mushroom cloudstands immutably, except for a few moments,the Buddhist god of children, indicating, per¬haps, that God has deserted his wards andchildren. In the play's final moments, a warsurvivor throws some of her few remainingpossessions at the unhelpful god. who cannotrespond or aid his children, although the des¬pair at his people’s predicament is clearlywritten on his face.Suzuki's Trojan Women, which closed lastSunday at the Civic Theater is a startling,original version of an age-old theme. Although,we admit that the text's lines were statedperfunctorily, the visual tableaux of movement,set, and body language we re all that wasneeded to create the best sort of theaterpossible One left the theater in a profoundsense of unease, feeling that one might have,in fact, Oieu ihe work of a genius, that theintellect of creator Suzuki has been turned toan ambitiously anti-war notion, and that wehave failed somehow to provide peace forfellow humans.EURIPIDES TURNING JAPANESEKayofco Shiraishi In The Trojan Woman8—FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1986—GREY CITY JOURNAL\NHPK BENEFIT88.5 Fits.

Thesechanges may not be for the best. Certainly thatis not Gabriel’s best effort—that distinctionbelongs, in my opinion, to his third album, thecelebrated “melting face” cover—but it defi¬nitely offers a lot of good listening. Lining up tosupport Peter are many familiar names to hislisteners, such as Rhodes, Tony Levin, JerryMarotta. as well as Stewart Copeland. Jim Kerr,and Kate Bush—all excellent musicians provento truly support Gabriel.The album opens with "Red Rain,” featuringsome excellent keyboard work by Gabriel. Thelyrics, attacking the damage created by peo¬ple's denial of actualities, are carried off withGabriel’s superior and distinctive voice. Follow¬ing is the first single release from the album,“Sledgehammer,” featuring an uncharacteristicbrass and doo-wop-girls backup. The purposeof “Sledgehammer” is obscure tome—explanations ranging from a Christ figureparallel (huh?) to an unopposable force havebeen postulated. Whatever the significance, itprovides an upbeat tune for Gabriel and Co. tofire up those dancin’ feet. It also contains myfavorite lines on the album: “Open up yourfruitcage/Where the fruit is as sweet as canbe.” Hmm.Next is a gospel inspired song, “Don’t Give Up,” with Kate Bush showing her considerablevocal talents in the choruses. This is perhapsthe most disappointing song on the LP, with itssomewhat sappy “don’t-give-up-we're-behind-you” lyrics; on the other hand, it provides bothGabriel and Bush with an opportunity experi-ment with their voices.

Sobuy. and revel in this fresh Peter Gabriel effort.You won’t be disappointed. by Richard A. SengerFor this installment, I’ve chosen three jazzwarhorses who broke into the business at aboutthe same time and who have all come out withnew records this year. While some of themhave tried different styles of music during theircareers, these recent albums are fairly faithfulto the typical styles of each, although theirrelative success varies. Sonny Rollins, for ex¬ample. exploded onto the scene with his earlywork being his most important and popular,then meandered through different fruitless at¬tempts at MOR and even horrid disco in theseventies before trying to reassert his originalstyle. On the other hand, Lester Bowie andOrnette Coleman have never radically alteredtheir founding styles and I would challengeanyone to find a single truly weak album byeither of these prolific artists.

One of the world’s truly greatrecordings was recently remastered digitallyand rereleased on records and compact discs. Iam referring to Angel Record’s outstanding1953 performance of Puccini’s ultra-melodramatic Tosca (AVB-34047). The superbefforts of the recording’s principal singers,Maria Callas, Giuseppe di Stefano, and TitoGobbi, are matched by the powerful conductingof Victor De Sabata. The contributions of eachwill be described in turn.In her time, Maria Callas, perhaps the mostunabashedly expressive soprano ever, wasTosca. Callas had the ability to imbue dramaticsituations with overwhelming pathos. The pre¬dicament of Tosca, a jealous but deeply reli¬gious woman, who is forced to commit murderor surrender her body to the powerful andleacherous Scarpia in order to save her lover'slife (I told you it was a melodramatic opera), hasnever been more convincingly revealed. Herrendition of the famous ana “Vissi d’arte” isabsolutely heartwrenching, while her vengefulexclamation over the dying Scarpia, “Muoridannato' Muori! Muori! Muori!” (“Die accursed!Die! Die! Die!’’) will send shivers down your(spine Quite simply, a recorded performan^^unequalled in terms of sheer dramati^^J^^and effect -In the less dramatically demanding role ofMaria Calvaradossi, Tosca’s lover, the ex¬uberant voice of tenor Giuseppe Di Stefano(who, I must admit, due to recordings: such asthis one, is- my favorite tenor) is tremedouslyappealing. I have never heard a more exhilirat-ing account of either of the two great tenor ariain this opera. Casting Di Stefano becomesdoubly rewarding, as one can feel how much heand Callas cared for each other whenever theyDIVEST NOW sing together on these records. This is thefinest recorded performance of a tenor who hasenriched the catalog with many great perform¬ances.As Baron Scarpia, the dreaded and ruthlesshead of the Roman police, baritone Tito Gobbidemonstrates his unparalleled talent as a vocalactor. Gobbi’s voice is not by any means abeautiful one. However, his powerful vocalpresence leaves little doubt as to why the eviland lewd Scarpia strikes fear into the hearts ofall who must deal with him.In his day, many considered Victor De Sab¬ata a more brilliant conductor than his famouscompatriot, Arruro Toscanini; this recordingshows why. No nuance of Puccini’s score isoverlooked. De Sabata never allows thetremendous tension of the opera to die down.He also elicits superb playing from the La Scalaorchestra. Presented jty amazingly stunningmono sound, this midrpriced (on record) re¬cording is a must buy.A more recent, but also spectacular, pet*formance features young angelicallv^fl^Ssoprano Kathleen Battle withsoloist Christopher Parkenin^lWpfr^jB®also available onPleasures of Thej^^actlywhat it is —^gj^^^gKpWSents a collectionof soravgEfiffl^S^Erituals and Villa-Lobos’Le&dS^fKffiuanas brasileiras #5, tastefullyfor guitar accompaniment.

For the first time inaround twenty-five years, the people may at lastlisten to Ornette Coleman. Fortunately, he stillhas a great, great deal to say.Lester Bowie Brass Fantasy: I Only HaveEyes For You (A-) Subtlety is the catchword for Lester Bowie’slatest LP, entitled Brass Fantasy, and it is aquietly overwhelming success. A trumpeter whogot his big break with the AACM back in 1966,Bowie has been a very significant force in theArt Ensemble of Chicago ever since, withcountless groundbreaking discs to his credit.His temples now graying, Bowie is in his lateforties, but his twenty-plus years of maturingwith a vast array of great musicians has onlyhad a positive influence upon his playing. BrassFantasy’s arrangements are very traditional andalmost conservative, yet Bowie’s trumpetbristles with emotion, wit. and experience. Thetitle cut leads off side one with Bob Stewart'stuba and the rest of the horn section merginginto the incredibly clean, almost casual soundthat permeates this record. “Eyes For You” is asarcastic, trudging ballad that shows offBowie's trumpet mumblings and raspings bril¬liantly. "Lament” is simply a great song-—tentative free jazz at the beginning, a latindance in the middle, and a beautiful, statelydirge at the end, with smatterings of light freethrown in for good measure at various points.Side two is more of the same with a greatJamaican dance, a smooth-as-silk bag bandeffort (“Nonet”), and the wonderfully shriekingand whining tribute to New Orleans, “When theSpirit Returns.” Although at certain moments,this LP almost mimics the AEC, its ultimatesuccess is based on the strength of its ownuncanny organization and careful horn prog¬ressions. As many horrible records as ECMputs out each year, it’s to their credit that theirrecording quality always excels, and this is apredictably great sounding digital album. This isa record anyone could enjoy, and a marvel ofwatered-down content from start to finish. BrassFantasy is Lester Bowie’s jazz paean to Muzak,and if it replaced the dreck presently emanatingfrom elevators and department stores, believeme the world would be a better place.Sonny Rollins The Solo Album (B-/B)Sonny Rollins’ thematic improvisationai skiiismade him the most significant tenor sax¬ophonist in the late 1950’s. In the twenty-fiveyears since “Blue Seven,” his crowningachievement, Rollins has made both excellentimprovisationai music and pleasantly worthlesscommerical sludge. A recent emphasis on thelatter has made many lose patience with Roll¬-ins, and this LP is clearly an attempt to get^ack to improvising, albeit in a very con-E^cending, brazen manner. Jazz critic LenJ^s once described Rollins' playing as “a£s of discovery, a probing of the melody^themes essential to it...(his playingincisive logician of musical structurewith his horn, not with pen and^hand.” and while the character-l^ewhat applies to Sonny’s latest»/n is far from his best.a rambling discourse oniznt. and there can be nojng, Rollins has his full saygY;d live in the sculpturedLyoprocefor the'sjiik beforlys^tin so.Jfl^Ting, the alb"Soloscope" ithematic developmdoubt that on this outi.on the subject.

Playingbefore a very receptive audience, Rollins letsloose an incredible variety of themes, stealingfreely from the sublime (Tchaikovsky and Bach)to his direct influences (Bird and Pres) to thebanal (flashes of "Pop Goes the Weasel,”which is certainly an apt description of hisactivities of late), with mixed results. While sideone almost pulls it off, side two gets boggeddown with repetitive noodling. If improvisation isthe extemporaneous creation of a melodywithin a given harmonic structure, some ofRollins’ creation here is not so much ex¬temporaneous as simply extraneous. There isjust too much pandering to the crowd and notenough logical direction or goal. Rollins’ sax¬ophone cackles with delight, but it is not thedelight of original, creative sounds being made,but rather the delight at the sound of moneybeing made While it is a step away from hisovert commercialism of late, Solo Album is a farcry from his most important material, and noteven that good as a transition album. Go outand buy his Saxophone Colossus or More Fromthe Vanguard albums instead, which are his¬toric, pungent bop at its best, and while you’reat it, have a great summer-’2—FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1986—GREY CITY JOURNAL
