The university of ChicagoMedical Center will open a newoutpatient care center for theelderly in the Windemere Houseat 1642 E. 56th Street duringearly September.The center will promote pre¬ventive medicine. By emphasizing sound nutrition and healthierlifestyle, it is hoped that malad¬ies can be corrected before theybecome too serious. The clinic’sfirm committment to preventivemedicine is underscored by theinclusion of various socialworkers and dieticians amongthe care center’s staff.Although not located at theUniversity of Chicago MedicalCenter, the new care center willstill adhere to the emphasis onresearch. Aside from the tradi¬tional geriatric care, the centerwill be conducting clinical re¬search on the epistemologicalaspect of geriatric medicine.The primary reason the newcenter will not be located at the University of Chicago MedicalCenter, according to Dr JillRhymes, the director of the newcare center, is because “thelocation is not as accessible tothe community as the Wind¬emere House.” Since the newcare center is designed for theelderly who are often limited topublic transportation, it wasimportant that the proposed sitebe centrally located and be nearpublic transportation.A former hotel designed sim¬ilarly to the Shoreland, theWindemere House is a 220 unitapartment building that leasesout rooms to professors andgraduate students alike The oldgrand ballroom in the buildingwill be remodeled into the clinic.Since the first floor is leased forcommercial purposes, HelenBloch, manager of the Wind¬emere House, said that, “otheractivities conducted in theWindemere House such as theHot Lunches Program, in whichsenior citizens are bused to theHouse for lunches, will remainunaffected.” By Karen E. AndersonViewpoints EditorWhile summer in Hyde Parkmay seem to be even duller thanthe school year, there are amyriad of opportunities formeeting new people, learningsome skills, and helping others.All that you have to do is tovolunteer.For those who are timid aboutventuring too far away from theUniversity, there are a couple ofvolunteer organizations oncampus. The best known isprobably the Blue Gargoyle,which is located on 5655 Univer¬sity Avenue. The Gargoyle'sregular Volunteer Bureau isclosed for the summer, but itsmassive list of volunteer posi¬tions is still available to anyinterested persons, says DanBiemer. the Gargoyle’s Ac¬tivities Program Assistant andSwim Program Coordinator.If you enjoy working withchildren, the Gargoyle has anumber of possibilities. It spon¬sors a summer tutoring pro¬gram Tutors work with areaelementary school students tohelp them in to catch up to theirclassmates during the summer.Biemer said that volunteers areneeded for every subject areaThe Gargoyle also has a summerbaseball team, and can use peo¬ple to help coach.Biemer added that he wouldlike people who have taken life¬saving and advanced swimmingcourses to help with the Gar¬goyle’s Swim Program. “Wehave swimming classes for ages6-14; the kids range from thosewho are on swim teams to thosewho are afraid of water,”Biemer explained. Biemer saidthat the Swim Program, which isput on in conjunction with theHyde Park-Kenwood Alliance, isa good way for volunteers togain experience if they are in¬terested in seeking future em¬ployment as lifeguards orswimming instructors.The U of C Hotline is still openduring the summer, and pro¬vides volunteer opportunities forthose who are good at listening to others’ problems. It operatesfrom 7 pm to 7 am, and you canget information on how to -vol¬unteer by calling the regularhotline number: 753-1777.If you feel the need to get offcampus and have an inclinationtoward the sciences, the Mu¬seum of Science and Industry on57th St. and Lake Shore Dr. may¬be able to give you an op¬portunity to do individual re¬search. kitty Pfutzenreuter, theMuseums Volunteer Coor¬dinator, said that although thesummer training programs forvolunteer positions as tourguides or receptionists haveended, the Museum is still look¬ing for students who have abackground in the physical sci¬ences to do research for upcom¬ing exhibits. Pfutzenreutercommented that volunteers inthese positions would have theopportunity to do research intheir field of interest, along withthe added plus of workingclosely with Museum experts inthe field. Pfutzenreuter also saidthat training programs for thepositions mentioned above willstart again in the fall, and thatthere are many opportunities forvolunteers to work on weekendsif they have a busy weekdayschedule.There are also a number ofChicago public service organi¬zations that are always lookingfor volunteers. Metro Help,which is the largest volunteerstaffed hotline in the U S needspeople to work at their 24 hourhotlines. They sponsor 4 differ¬ent hotline services, the NationalRunaway Switchboard, the Re¬gional Switchboard, the NationalSuicide Hotline, and The IllinoisYouth Switchboard. Volunteerscounsel and give information tocallers from all 4 hotlines. Sincethe hotlines operate 24 hours aday, volunteers can sign up forany time slot that fits into theirschedules. A Metro Help coor¬dinator commented that the 40hour training course which allMetro Help volunteers receive isa great opportunity to learnabout basic youth problems. TheMetro Help office is located on2210 N.

For the past 8 yearsLibchaber has been studyingchaotic behavior in physicalsystemsDescriptions of order andchaos were limited in the past tocertain special systems, knownas equilibrium systems. Chaosmanifested itself within thesesystems in complex ways thatcould not be described coher¬ently through mathematics.“What we have shown is thatthe chaotic state of nature canbe understood mathematically,” Libchaber said “We have seenthat this chaotic state can bedescribed with deterministic e-quations” (Maroon, 2-7-86).Turbulence of pipe smoke, theflow- of a liquid through a vessel,weather systems and growth ofcertain crystal structures aresystems which now can be de¬scribed coherently. “Turbulenceis one example of phenomenonthat look disordered...(but have)underlying simplicity.” Fritzshesaid.Libchaber has “started a newfield of studies with large con¬sequences” for not only physicsbut also social science and bio¬logical science. Fritzshe said.Chicago economists are at¬tempting to adopt Libchaber’swork to a theory of the stockmarket. Noted Libchaber “wewould like to use this knowledgeto understand such natural phe¬nomenon as the shapes of leaves and the development of animalsfrom embryos” (Maroon, 2-7-86).The MacArthur Foundationgrant “gives him (Libchaber) agreat freedom to purchaseequipment for his lab,” Fritzshesaid “One is always limitedwith funds to carry out new id¬eas...(it is) exciting that he canstudy more complex systems.”The MacArthur FoundationFellowships, established in 1981,have become known as the“search for geniuses.” Theawards provide from $164,000 to$300,000 tax free with “nostrings.” The amount of theaward depends on the age of therecipient. The awards are in¬tended to give the recipient theeconomic freedom to pursue re¬search or scholarship, or crea¬tive artistic work. So far thephilanthropy has endowed 191individuals with $50 million(New York Times, 7-15-86). BY r ATHiCi A fcVANbAlbert Libchaber, professor department of physicsFree health fairs heldBy Anna RentmeestersContributing WriterThe University of Chicago Medical Cen¬ter is sponsoring a free health fair thisweekend, July 18 and 19, and the weekendsof July 25 and 26, and August 1 and 2.All three fairs will offer blood pressureand anemia screenings. In addition, eachfair will include a special exhibit andscreenings. The first fair’s exhibit will beon osteoporosis. A health professional willbe available to answer questions. Postureand flexibility evaluations will also bemade at the first health fair.The second fair will include a hearingtest and a “Healthy Heart Appraisal,” aquestionaire designed to determinewhether or not participants’ hearts are atrisk The third fair will highlight sickle cellanemia. An expert will staff the exhibit andbe available to answer questions. Medicalprofessionals will also be available toevaluate nutrition habits.At the last two fairs participants, age 17to 65, are encouraged to donate blood.Donations can be made at the Hyde ParkBank on those days. This service is co¬ sponsored by the Hyde Park Co-operativeSociety, Inc.This will be the first time the MedicalCenter has sponsored a health fair at thebank. “This outreach service to the com¬munity should introduce a number of peo¬ple to the Medical Center,” said NancyFrazier, special events coordinator. Themain purpose of the fairs is not to discovermajor health problems, but instead, “toteach people how to stay healthy throughhealth education, early detection andpreventive medicine,” she said. “Thescreenings give participants an idea of thestate of their health and the educationalexhibits teach them how to maintain theirhealth.” Previous, more extensive, fairsheld at the Medical Center have been well-received and coordinators expect thatthese smaller fairs will be equally success¬ful.The health fair will be held at Hyde ParkBank, 1525 East 53rd St. The hours are10am to 6pm on Fridays and 9 am to 1pm,Saturdays. Anyone 18 years old and aboveis eligible to participate. For further in¬formation on the fair or to make an ap¬pointment to give blood, call 947-1000.

The annual exhibition atSmart Gallery is designed to acquaintgraduating artists with the rigorous re¬quirements of museum exhibition, by ex¬posing their works to a large and criticalaudience.The show includes a selection of draw¬ings, paintings, photographs and install¬ations by artists Ellen Campbell, PatriciaDeegan. Helen Jones, Susanna Kiluk.W’alter Myers, Dan Peterman, KennethArtist Robert Barnes will discuss hiswork in a special lecture on Thursday, July24 at 7 30pm at the Hyde Park Art Center.“Robert Barnes 1956-1984 A Survey,” iscurrently on display at both the Art Centerand the Renaissance Society.Continuing through August 24, the exhi¬bition is the first to comprehensively ex¬amine the work of this important Americanpainter.Barnes is an artist who creates am¬biguous psychologically charged imagestha> maintain a delicate balance betweenabstraction and representation. Using amethod similar to psychoanalytic free-association, he paints forms that invariablycoalesce into recognizable images, and asthese accumulate associations, he developsa narrative context for them. The finalresults are painterly tableaus which are askillful blend of abstract forms and literaryand historical allusions. Barnes acknowl¬edges the importance of modern literaturefor his work, and he cites James Joyce,Tristan Tzara, and other important mod¬ernist writers as major influences on hiswork Shaw and Michael Strong. Many of theworks are mixed media, ranging from oilon canvas to a combination of wood, metal,oils and other elements, and much care hasobviously been taken to arrange the piecesto complement and contrast each other tofull advantage. Together the works en¬compass a wide and interesting variety ofstyles and uses of diverse medium.In supplement to the artwork, both Pa¬tricia Deegan and also Michael Stronghave composed short essays on thethoughts behind their works. Also, DanPeterman has arranged an optical illusionto accent one of his pieces. Diversity is therule for this show, and for the artists who,it is said, will “help shape the form andcontent of modern art in the 1990’s and oninto the 21st century.”Public response to the show has beenpostive, and past MFA exhibitions havealso been popular. It is a welcome com¬plement to the Smart Gallery’s collectionof fine artwork spanning four milennia,from ancient Egypt to modern America.Located at 5550 S. Greenwood Ave., theSmart Gallery is open to the publicTuesday through Saturday from 10-4 andSunday from 12-4.The exhibition is the first to surveyBarnes's career from the mid-1950’s to thepresent and it features 69 paintings, in¬cluding oils, caseins, pastels, and water-colors. The exhibition was organized by theMadison Art Center, Madison, Wisconsinand was guest-curated by Dennis Adrian,the well-known Chicago critic, collector,and personal friend of Robert Barnes forover twenty-five years. An illustrated cat¬alogue with an introductory essay by Mr.Adrian has been published by the MadisonArt Center to accompany the exhibition.Organized with the aid of a grant fromthe National Endowment for the Arts, andwith additional support from the 1985-86Madison Art Center Exhibition and Pro¬gram Underwriters, the exhibition alsotours to the Madison Art Center; the Art¬ists’ Choice Museum, New York; HeronGallery of Art, Indianapolis; and The ArtMuseum at Florida International Univer¬sity, Miami.Gallery hours for both the Hyde Park ArtCenter and The Renaissance Society areTuesday through Friday, 10am to 4pm, andSaturday and Sunday, Noon to 4 pm. Ad¬mission is free By Jean OsnosStaff WriterIf Legal Eagles turns out to be one of thesummer’s hits, one might be tempted togive a simple explanation for its success.Billed as a romantic comedy with a fewthrills thrown in, it supposedly appeals toadults because of its funny, yet maturesensibility (as the ratings board mightsay). Even the ad draws on this notion - aplain photo of the three stars accompaniesa capsule of critics’ raves. It does not aimat teeny hoppers, but at grownups.A second reason for the movie’s successmay be even more obvious than the first.Robert Redford stars, once again demon¬strating his box office mileage. Although hehas two high-powered co-stars, DebraWinger and Daryl Hannah, this movie isessentially made as a one-star vehicle,catering to the Redford persona of laidback charm and easy humor. Legal Eaglesalso gives him the opportunity for a fewcomic routines. He tap dances in his livingroom while Gene Kelly dances on tele¬vision.In this movie, Redford looks and actsmuch more relaxed than he did, for exam¬ple, in Out of Africa, in which he was notonly stiff and dull, but also miscast. Thistime he trades in his khakis for pinstripes.As Tom Logan, he is an assistant DistrictAttorney in Manhattan who joins a privatelawyer, Laura Kelly (Debra Winger) todefend Chelsea Deardon (Daryl Hannah), aperformance artist accused of stealing apainting made by her late father, a re¬known artist.The film includes Robert Redford and apotentially intriguing story line wovenwithin the New York art world. Together,these keys to success may be so trans¬parent that it may even seem like a wasteof space to include them. The irony of suchan explanation, however, is that it isdeceptively incomplete. Despite the starand adult situation. Legal Eagles does not seem much different from other summermovies geared to younger audiences.In several instances, director IvanReitman (Ghostbusters) seems to be play¬ing to adolescents when he resorts to huge,perfectly orchestrated special effects se¬quences (such as an explosion). Reitmanseems comfortable going for an easy slam-bam effect, as though he expects that thismethod is the only way to get the viewer’sattention. The inclusion of these excessivemoments suggest that at times he may beafraid to let the humor or thrills arisenaturally from the plot situations. Tocompensate, he uses tricks to force ou’certain responsesAnother problem is that while Tom Lo¬gan is meant to be a good guy, and ofcourse, the hero of the story as well, thecharacter still reveals some annoying,compromising features. In his relationshipswith both women, for instance, Logancomes across as a passive narcissist whoexpects to be pursued. He also commits acertain act, and subsequently loses much ofhis integrity, similar to Glenn Close’s ac¬tions in The Jagged Edge. Logan may becharming and textbook gorgeous, but he isnot especially sympathetic.In comparison, Laura Kelly and Chelseaare more compassionate, but not as welldefined. Daryl Hannah is spacey and slinkyyet Reitman does not seem to know what todo with her. Debra Winger, on the otherhand, fills out what might have been astereotype “modern woman:” single,lonely, over achieving. Her emotions seemspontaneous; her big, teary eyes verge onboth happiness and sadness. The perform¬ance is delightful and believable. Dynamicsupport is given by Terrance Stamp andBrian Dennehy. To his credit, Reitmandelivers an interesting view of the glam¬orous life of art dealers, and their possiblysleazy underworld.Perhaps the film’s most amusing mo¬ment comes when two Paul Newman pro¬ducts. salad dressing and popcorn, appearin the background.

Mason said. Twelve burglarieshave occurred in what Mason called “aquiet area up until this time.” He said thatpolice believe that “one or two personsworking as a team” are responsible forthese crimes.“The vast majority of the burglaries arehappening between 9am and 5pm,” Masonreported. One burglary in the area, how¬ ever, occurred at 2am. These times, hesaid, are “not uncommon.” The averageburglar “doesn’t want to go into a homewhile someone is there.”Mason encouraged Hyde Park residentsto cooperate with police in order to “endthe spree.” He said that “in 99 out of 100burglaries...the perpetrators are caughtwhen citizens will call “police by dialing911 or 962-8181.” ,He said that citizens should call “as soonas they see a suspicious person.” Peoplewandering around the sides of buildingsshould be noted, he said.“The caller does not have to get in¬volved; does not have to give his name,”Mason stressed. As the saying goes, “thecitizens are the eyes and ears of thepolice,” he said.: • .Crime Statistics ; ; 7' ' 'V.. • ■Crime Number Percent of Total CrimeRobbery 10 10.9%Burglary 18 19.6Auto Theft 15 16.3Theft from Auto 15 16.3Battery 13 14.1Theft 21 22.8Total crimes 92 100Number of crimes committed on weekdays: 78 (84.8%)Number of crimes committed on weekend: 14 (15.2%)*500 OFFANY NEW CARFORALLSTUDENTSAND FACULTYAugust 30, 1986Five Hundred and no/100 DOLLARSNf GCrrH»L£ ONW <ST P>ue^ mfl7B0UET-mk«MaN OJust present this coupon & your UCID and you will receive *500 off thepurchase price of any new Chevrolet or Volkswagen in stock, or anyused car over *2000.

On display are44 linear drawings, completed circa the1950’s, in combinations of pencil, ink,crayon, collaged magazine pictures,tempura, and watercolor on paper. Of¬tentimes, the artist drew on collagedpaper made from available writing sur¬faces, including memo pads, brownpaper bags, laundry tickets, Christmaswrapping paper, scraps of paper, oldenvelopes, and paper cups, which werepasted together with a glue made out ofmashed potatoes and water or breadand saliva.

Born in Mexico in 1885,Ramirez crossed the border into theUnited States to find unemployment. Hestopped speaking in 1915, thought to becaused by the cultural shock of his newenvironment, and was classified as acatatonic when he was institutionalizedin 1930. He was later diagnosed as a“paranoid schizophrenic, deteriorated.”He began drawing around 1948, andwas discovered and encouraged severalyears later by artist and psychologist Dr.Tarmo Pasto, who also collected thework. Ramirez remained in-stitutionalized and mute for 30 years. Hedied in 1960 at the age of 75 in DeWitt State Hospital in Auburn, California,with a known oeuvre of approximately300 drawings.

ConlonThere is a close connection betweenReagan's domestic policies and his war inCentral America, according to political scien¬tists Joshua Cohen and Joel Rogers. In a newbook, Inequity and Intervention, they show howUS intervention in Central America tits into theReagan administration’s broader program oftransferring resources from the general popula¬tion to those already wealthy.This issue is important. While there are, inmy view, problems with Cohen and Rogers’formulation, the facts they bring together arestriking, clearly explained, and, to a largeextent, speak for themselves.Cohen and Rogers organize their discussionaround the federal budget. “The full spectrumof Reagan administration policies,” they argue,“are crystallized in the shifting budgetarycommitments of the past five years." To un¬derstand the budget, of course, we must takeaccount of Reagan’s first term tax cuts, whichled to the massive deficits now plaguing thecountry.As everyone knows, public sentiment againsthigh taxes was widespread by the late 1970s.Less frequently discussed, however, is theexact nature of this sentiment. Addressing thisissue, Cohen and Rogers quote a 1978 poll,showing that, while 74% of the public thoughtthat the middle class was paying too much intaxes, 76% thought that high income familiespaid too little.The Reagan tax cuts gave the public almostexactly the opposite of what it wanted. Cohenand Rogers cite one study, for example, whichshowed that, between 1981 and 1984, totaltaxes rose dramatically for those earning lessthan $10,000 per year, stayed roughly constantfor those in the $15,000 to $30,000 range, andfell sharply only for those earning $100,000 ormore. By cutting perhaps the only tax whichcan hit the wealthy harder than the generalpopulation (the federal income tax), Reagantransferred the tax burden increasingly awayfrom the rich toward the rest of the population.The tax cuts were, as former Budget DirectorDavid Stockman put it, a “Trojan horse to bringdown the top rate.”As the Reagan administration cut taxes tothe rich, it also cut low income programs for thepoor While “only one tenth of the federalbudget in 1980“ was directed to the poor,Cohen and Rogers point out, these programs"were the victims of one third of the budget cuts enacted between 1981 and 1983.” Be¬cause these programs are such a small part ofthe budget, cutting them has had little effect onthe deficit. However, the cuts have had a bigeffect on the poor, pushing “more than twomillion people below the poverty line,” accord¬ing to Cohen and Rogers.The budget cuts, moreover, don’t just hurtdirect program recipients. By making the poormore dependent on the labor market, cuts inlow income programs "increase... the tendencyfor high unemployment to bring wages down,”Cohen and Rogers argue. Employers, there¬fore, gain from increasing competition for jobs.Workers, on the other hand, even those whowere not direct beneficiaries of low incomeprograms, suffer when others are forced ontothe job market.The Reagan budget, in conclusion, has hadexactly the effect it was designed to have:inequality in 1984 was the worst since thegovernment began keeping records back in1947. Not surprisingly, Reagan has many richand powerful supporters.Reagan's deficit gamble, however, has putthe entire nation at risk. Even if Reagansucceeded in eliminating low income programsentirely, for example, two thirds of the deficitwould remain. As both the Democrats andRepublicans reveal their inability to deal withthe budget, a crisis seems increasingly likely.The most severe consequences of the Reagandebt lie in the future.The military buildup is, together with taxes,the principle reason for continuing deficits. AsCohen and Rogers point out, "by virtually anyreasonable measure, the federal governmenthas grown larger and at a faster pace sinceRonald Reagan was elected... What haschanged under the Reagan administration isthe composition of the federal budget.” Militaryspending has skyrocketed.The official justification for military spendingis the Soviet Threat. The true target of the USbuildup, however, may lie elsewhere, in theThird World. One study quoted by Cohen andRogers finds that “a significant portion of theAmerican defense effort is now allocated toforces best suited for Vietnam-style or Domi¬nican Republic-style interventions... TheReagan administration plans to add even more,with new carriers, new ‘forcible-entry’ am¬phibious assault ships, and new airlift.” Oneformer Pentagon official remarks that aircraftcarriers "are splendid for Third World conflict.”While the Soviet threat may not be the causeof the military buildup, it does serve as aconvenient excuse. Military hawk Samuel Hun¬tington, for example, suggests selling inter¬vention to the public "in such a way as tocreate the misimpression that it is the SovietReal Military Spending, 1955-1985 (1972 Dollars)Billionsof Dollars100.095.090.085.080.075.070.065.0Source: Historical Tables.

However, Cohen and Rogersmaintain that if one includes the cost of thenumerous military exercises Reagan is con¬ducting in the region, military forces stationedin Central America, and military forces stati¬oned elsewhere, created in anticipation of con¬flicts in regions such as Central America, thenthe total cost of US policy in Central Americaincreases significantly. Cohen and Rogers es¬timate that US hegemony in Central Americacurrently costs the US roughly $9.5 billionannually. US interventionist capacity around theworld, they believe, may cost as much as $100billion each year.Of course, the economic costs of interventionin Central America pale in comparison with thehuman costs inflicted on the people living inthat region. “Even if (US policies in CentralAmerica) cost nothing at all,” Cohen andRogers insist, "we would still think they werewrong.” Cohen and Rogers should, perhaps,have driven this point home by describing thehuman consequences of US intervention atgreater length.Cohen and Rogers weaken their argumentfurther, I believe, by treating the economiccosts as the primary connection between inter¬vention abroad and increasing injustice athome. When they write that “US commitmentsto an aggressive military policy abroad come atthe expense of justice at home,” they comeclose to implying that the military budget is thecause of injustice here. This both overstatesand understates the connection.It overstates the connection between themilitary buildup and domestic inequality be¬cause, in fact, the injustices of Reagan’s do¬mestic policies go beyond what is required byhis military escalation. His tax cut for the rich,for example, even puts constraints on militaryspending.Focusing on the economic costs of inter¬ vention also understates the link with domesticinjustice by drawing attention away from theethical issues. In fact, intervention and domes¬tic cutbacks can best be understood as parallelexamples of the eagerness with which Reaganand his powerful supporters sacrifice humanwelfare, and even human life, in the interests ofprofit and concentrated power.Cohen and Rogers are prevented from draw¬ing this connection, however, because theynever discuss the goals of US intervention.Noting that “for criticism of the militarybudget to be effective, it must be joined withcriticism of the uses to which military force isput,” Cohen and Rogers argue convincinglythat Reagan’s military buildup is largely direc¬ted toward Third World intervention. However,they fail to follow their statement through to itslogical conclusion: criticism of intervention mustbe joined with criticism of the goals for whichintervention is pursued.Thus, while Cohen and Rogers show how theReagan budget protects US business interestsat home, they don’t even address the role ofintervention in protecting US business interestsabroad.Perhaps this omission can be forgiven, dueto constraints of space. Inequity and Inter¬vention is actually the first in a series of shortworks which will comprise the Domestic Rootsol U.S. Foreign Policy project of Policy Al¬ternatives for the Caribbean and Central Amer¬ica (PACCA). Hopefully, a future book in thisseries will address the connection betweenintervention and US economic interests abroad.Such a study would complement Cohen andRogers’ book perfectly. Together, these twoworks would expose the consistent thread run¬ning through the Reagan administration’s do¬mestic and foreign policies, and through thepolicies of most previous administrations aswell. As long as wealth can buy political powerin America, the government will dis¬proportionately represent the interests of thefew.Spending Reductions in 1985 as a Result of1981-84 Policy ChangesProgram ReductionProposed (%) ReductionEnacted (%)AFDC -28.6 -14.3Food Stamps -51.7 -13.8Child Nutrition -46.0 -28.0Low Income Energy Assistance -37.5 -8.3Housing Assistance -19.5 -11.4Medicaid -15.7 -2.8Source: Bawden and Palmer, "Social Policy: Challenging the Welfare State,”Table 6.1.All tables from Inequity and Intervention4—FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1986—GREY CITY JOURNALCfiazfotte ^i&stzomaRea( £itate Co.1638 EAST 55TH STREETCHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60615312/493-0666Ask for the July Property GuideYOUR PRIVATE WORLD0NE-T0-A-FL00RVIEWS IN ALL DIRECTIONS8 ROOMSLAUNDRY IN APTBRIGHT & AIRYFREE PARKING$145,000Near 54 Cornell —MIES VAN DER ROHE WAS PROUDof this glass and brick.

Schoolly Dhas made it with the staple rhymes aboutfucking girls and drugs, but especially withhis rhymes about killing punks. The“Phila” (Philadelphia) gang P.S.K. (ParkState Killers) are often quoted as Schoollystresses his lethal delivery style, which“knocks ’em out, one by one.” First trackon the first side, “I don’t like Rock n Roll,”features a cail-n-response chant, withSchooliy singing “I don’t” and letting theaudience fill in the rest; as DJ Code doesa deranged cutting job on what seems tobe Gary Glitter’s “I Love Rock’n’Roll” inthe background. Awesome! Following is“Put Your Fila’s On,” another strongtrack, and DJ Code drops in the JamesBrown grunts. Both P.S.K. “What the Helldoes it mean?” and Gucci Time, the twosongs on the preceding 12” are on thealbum, demonstrating beyond a shadow ofa doubt that Schoolly can “use a micro¬phone like a plumber uses tools.” Butmore than that Schoolly wants to take hisraps to the top, he claims to be a star, andis the number one fan of this fiction,“Rockin on to the break of dawn, I makecold money (royalties) every time it (therecord) is on.” Yo Schoolly, what’s upwith the record business?

Such a claim isa challenging one as well, because by adaptingit, The Rack promises not to fall into the sametrap of aggressive pertinence that televisionprograms like Saturday Night Live (let alonefunctions like Second City] have succumbed to,which utterly dates their humor by even thenext season’s reruns This is not to say thatthere is no meaning or point behind thesketches of The Rack. Followers of AvantGarfielde realize that it attaches great im¬portance to themes and ideas, rather thanemphasizing “trendy" skits. Criticism of con¬ventional morality, of failed communications, ofintellectual falseness, and of prejudice, timelesssubjects all, permeate the group’s efforts bothat Jimmy’s and now at The Rack, and link themtogether in a unifying chain. This is comedy, allright, but it is a thinking person’s comedy, too, AMOMiWKA Different Comer" is a song for alt times.-SKAYoung Gods “Envoye” b/w “SoulkHot” & “C.S.C.L.D.F.” Wax Trax!Despite its relatively short length, “En¬voye” comes on with the force of ascreaming locomotive. In fact, if it wereany longer, it probably wouldn’t be able tosustain itself. The Young Gods, a Swissband produced by Roli Mosiman of theSwans, whip up a sonic wall of drivingdrums and grinding guitars that wouldsend Jim Thirwell running for his Abbarecords. The flipside lacks slightly in theenergy department, but the fact that “En¬voye” is pressed into the other side ismore than enough to keep its two tracksmoving along. — RWAfrica Bambaataa and Family “Bam¬baataa’s Theme/Tension” Tommy Boy12”Bambaataa’s Theme is an instrumentaltrack with booming beats and catchy se¬quencer riff, mixed down by Joey Gardnerand “Little Louie Vega — top dj at theSouth Bronx Hip Hop club the “Devil’sNest.” The flip “Tension” is rapless aswell, being Barn’s first singing on vinyl.His soulful vocal is backed with similarlysoulful male and female voices, both laidover hard Hip Hop beats. Tension with thevocal of a mainstream “sludge” soulsong, a touch of wailing guitar, and strongbeats stands a good chance of gettingonto black radio, whereas if Bambaataahad cut a rap it would have been a lotharder. I still find the single rather dis¬appointing, as it seems to adopt too muchof the style he wishes to transcend. Al¬though the instrumentation on Tension isstrong, hopefully this single will mark thebeginning and end of Bambaataa’s turn tosinging. Originally printed in East VillageEye (7/86) —PMThe Housemartins London O Hull 4 Go!Discs LPI’ve been using this record to wake upwith for the past two weeks. The janglypop of the Housemartins’ singles hasalways proven to be a driving force on theturntable, but now, with the release ofLondon O Hull 4, the ’Martins have awhole album to testify to their art. Eventhough London contains their first threesingles, every track on this album cansolidly stand on its own. From the slow,spiritual “Flag Day” to the upbeat in¬strumental “Reverend’s Revenge,” thisrecord ia a tribute to the pop form. Wordhas it that a number of the tracks aresupposed to be protest songs, but don’t worry too much about searching for themessage, the real prize here is the music.—RWJanet Jackson Control A & M RecordsLPThis is not a fluke. “What Have You Donefor me Lately” and “Nasty” are notmerely the two dance singles beingpushed from young (20) sister Jackson’ssecond (or third) album. The entire recordhas a ton to offer, including Janet’sspeaking breathy French. In terms of herpose, she’s not different from any other ofthe Jackson crew; she wears unsightlypants suits and does peculiar things withher hair. But musically — with the help ofJimmy Jam and Terry Lewis of Mary JaneGirls fame — she sports Prince’s subtlesexuality, Madonna’s idiotic breed offeminism, all wrapped up with brotherMichael’s slickness. Other songs to lookfor. “He Doesn’t Know I’m Alive” — anarchaic sentiment, but a fine song, andthe closing track “Funny How Time FliesWhen You’re Having Fun” (she or herwriters seem to be preoccupied with col¬loquialisms), a lilting, mournful marker tothe end of Jackson’s Control, whichsounds remarkably like Art Of Noise’s“Moments in Love.” If you were enthral¬led by “What Have You Done For MeLately” and excited by Nasty,” then buyControl for yourself. It’s the least you cando. —SKASalt-n-Pepa I’ll Take Your Man NextPlateau 12”Hard and wack female rap returns as Salt-n-Pepa warns another not to dis(disrespect) her man. A rhythm track ofdef beats is supplemented by Go-Go per¬cussion, as a devastatingly simplesynthesized bass kicks in at the rightmoments. Salt-n-Pepa’s vocals are notnice; rather sty and illin’—more like Rox¬anne Shante than the more common“sugar coated” female raps. ‘Til TakeYour Man” continues the Hip Hop tradi¬tion of quoting from a spectrum of styles,the Go-Go expression “Good to Go”thrown in with the refrain of G. Clinton andW. Collins’ Funkadelic "Flashlight.”Originally printed in East Village Eye (7/86)—PMStevo Armani Don’t Say (It’s Over)Nuance Records 12”Stevo Armani’s debut single “Don’t Say(It’s Over)” is a curious fusion of Chic¬ago’s “Haus” music and European dancemusic. Mixed by Micky “Mixing” Oliver,formerly of the WBMX “Hot Mix 5,” theinstrumentatiuon is firmly imprinted with the stock “Haus” tricks, long uptempopercussive breaks layered with enoughvocal repetition speed tricks to please anymix dj whose got the record jammin wayoff pitch. The instrumentation also showsthe influence of Chicago’s Wax Trax label(Ministry, Luc van Acker, Revolting Cocks)on the Haus audience, with a synth buildreminiscent of the intro to Ministry’s“Everyday is Halloween.” Stevo’s MarcAlmondesque vocal completes this hybridof Haus and Euro-dance. Stevo, sportinghis new Egyptian doo, is now trying tobook some NYC dates, a good possibilitywith the increasing popularity of Haus inthe streets and clubs here, so keep watch!Originally printed in The East Village Eye(7/86) —PMMadonna True Blue SireAlthough I’ve yet to hear any of thisalbum, I’m sure it’s intensely boring, justlike Madonna’s new image. Let’s face itkids, subtlety was never her forte. Mad¬onna has already played her trump cardas new-wave tramp, and without that,what can she be but second-rate? IfMadonna was unappealing before, at leastshe had some pizzazz and a smart pro¬ducer. She doesn’t have the imaginationto make the transition from the Benny Hillof rock to its Princess Grace. This is notthe right packaging for Mrs. Penn, even asinterpreted by her Brat-Pack AssholeHusband as “more important than worldhunger” (Interview 5/86). Yo Madonna,whydya hafta cut yo hair? —LSThat Petrol Emotion Manic Pop ThrillDemonThe Undertones have gone back to theirtoots. Since lead singer Feargal Sharkeyleft the band to pursue a solo career,they’ve been calling themselves ThatPetrol Emotion, but that doesn’t stop themfrom producing the same guitar-basedpower pop that they produced in theirearly years. The lyrics have gotten moremature, and the instrumentation is slicker,but they still sound like the same Under¬tones that stormed on the scene back in1977.

As a group, the performers’ (whoalso doubled, as the authors) show has apredilection for the distinctly scatological. Talk¬ing assholes, romantic buboes on a plaguevictim, a gigantic defecating pig (the secondbiggest hog in the world, with the oddly Judeo-Christian name of Lucifer), are just a few of thetypical characters of The Rack. Mark RayHollmann's portrayal of a large, talking rearend, first distracting viewers at a movie theater,then driving a maitre d' at a posh restaurant todistraction, and finally appearing in Hell itself, isa vaguely upleasant “character" who graduallybecomes a symbol of all the downtrodden andmisunderstood people. Dawn Brennan andHollmann, as buboes in love, and later in theshow, as a "wed-for-convenience" couple sing¬ing a rendition of a pointedly bittersweet song"Let’s Pretend We’re in Love" develop intoillustrations of one-sided love and selfishness.John Hildreth, as a man forced by a gentlydetached narrator, Scott Hermes, into poundinghis own thumb and head with a large hammer,appears to be a manipulated figure used toprove a sadistic documentary point PhilLortie’s performance as a smiling, psychoticbully who beat a youthful Jonas Salk a fewdecades before he discovered the polio vaccinebecomes a vindication of the mediocre person’s ignominious place in history. The Rack, then, isclearly not just a show about filth and cruelty: aprogram which consisted simply of dis¬membered body organs and sadists talkingwould be about as laugh-packed as a bottle ofpetroleum jelly, or, in other words, no fun at all.This show is about people's reactions to suchnastiness, which call into question the innernatures of people, and how they behave invarious situations.Thankfully, though, at no point in the showdoes anyone in the cast take themselves thisseriously Indeed, much of what happens onstage is an utter parody of emotional behavior:at one point, Brennan enters the stage playingHitler, shortly to offer a disclaimer for herbehavior, and subsequently, a disclaimer forthe prior disclaimer. At another point, Lortieemerges from behind the curtain to whininglybeg the audience to return following the inter¬mission, an act of deliberate self-parody thatwould be quite familiar to followers of per¬formers like Laurie Anderson. Of course, TheRack first wants to entertain us. as with almostany form of show, and then, as a rather distantsecond, to make us think, following a traditionestablished by a mixture of cartoons, perform¬ance art, and Greek New Comedy. The fiveperformers attempt to alienate no one memberof their prospective audience for the pleasure-and-spectacle seeking theater patron there isplenty of fun and experience to go around; forthose who are thoughtful and emotionally mat¬ure viewers as well, there is much more,however Regular patrons of Avant Garfielde will rec¬ognize most of the sketches performed at TheRack, naturally, since they were originally pre¬sented as part of the Thursday night cabaret,but at their new venue the actors have tight¬ened up the loose ends in their black outs, andhave rehearsed their scenes to and beyond thepoint of professional slickness In theirThursday night Jimmy’s shows, such sketcheswould be separated by about fifteen minutes orso of improvisational games. At The Rack,however, one sketch follows another with analmost relentless intensity, considering theiroften dark subject matter But the results aregood, the general quality of the skits is high,the songs are witty (“Let s Pretend We re inLove" is a song good enough to be heard onany radio station anywhere). Bigelow/Schroer’schoreography and direction is crisp, and thetheater is air conditioned What strikes onemost positively about the show, however, is thebrashness and sincerity of the cast: here is coolprofessionally, but it is combined with anearnest desire to put on a good show, be funny,and not merely to impress the audience withempty theatrics. Basically, The Rack strives toentertain us intelligently, and, because theyare, incredibly enough, sensitive theatrical ar¬tisans. they are able to succeed.The Rack is being performed at The TheatreShoppe. 2636 N Lincoln, every Saturday at 8.and Sunday at 7 through August 17.

These proposalsare doomed to fail. The “system” is complexand comprehensive. Through its control overthe means of communication it structures theways in which even its challengers conceive ofthe world around them. This is not a new idea,of course; the concept of cultural hegemony isgenerally traced to the writings of AntonioGramsci in the 1920s. The cultural revolt of the1960s aimed, in the minds of its most articulateparticipants, to break precisely this culturalblock to change. Vet the dominant cultureeasily incorporated everything nonthreateningin the revolt and reduced its content to a matterof sex and drugs and rock and roll. Culture maybe important but it is not politics. Only overtlypolitical movements truly threaten the “sys¬tem.” Riot police are called out to the parks notto deal with counter-culture but only withcounter-politics.Feminism, more than any other socialmovement today, has staked its ideologicalground in a frontal assault on cultural hege¬mony. Mary Daly, one of the most radicalfeminist theorists, found it necessary to createa new language to escape from the trap ofmisogynist thought. Yet even mainstreamfeminists are able to concur in the slogan thatsums up feminism’s attack on cultural hege¬mony: the personal is political. There is aprofound truth in this when you’re talking aboutthe right to walk city streets without fear of rapeor about discrimination in the workplace fromsexual harassment to maternity leave. Manyproblems that women used to suffer alone,personally, can have political solutions oncetheir universality is recognized. Twenty-fiveyears ago consciousness raising was necessaryto overcome the “feminine mystique” thatisolated women from one another. This hasbaen achieved and stands as one of modernfeminism’s major triumphs.Day care facilities may remain inadequate but not because of any ignorance of theirnecessity. Discrimination, whether personal orstructural, still frustrates the aspirations andincomes of many women but nobody defends it;where its existence is denied solutions hinge onfact and politics rather than on ideology. Yetthese issues are rather mundane compared tothe intellectual transformation that many femi¬nists, not least those writing on this campus,have come to demand. The liberation ofwomen, and particularly women’s bodies, fromthe cultural hegemony of the mass media hasassumed enormous importance in feministthought and through the slogan “the personalis political” has enabled feminists to claimpolitical content for these efforts. But as anintellectual basis the slogan invites two sets ofproblems, one political and one ideological.Together they make the slogan not only uselessbut downright counter-revolutionary.The first of these is from the vocal but honestright. Nobody insists more strongly than JerryFalwell that the personal is political. The tradi¬tional liberal answer to the Christian fun¬damentalist right was civil libertarian: the per¬sonal is not political and therefore you may notregulate it. Get the government out of thebedroom. Purge the statute books of laws man¬dating the heterosexual, intra-racial missionaryposition. This is why the pro-abortion movementcalls itself pro-choice; it would be hard to find amore libertarian label. But, once the abortiondebate progressed from removal of prohibitorylaws to the positive government stance offederal funding, the libertarian argument wasless obvious. Though it is logical to defend theliberty of the poor when liberty requires cash,still the pro-choice forces were calling forgovernment to endorse abortion, whether welike that way of framing the issue or not.Once the left concedes that the personal is infact political, it leaves the personal up forpolitical grabs. And the right is both larger andbetter organized. Richard Viguerie of NCPAC(the National Conservative Political ActionCommittee) may be out of business at themoment but you can be sure his warehouse ofdirect mail computer tapes are being put tosuitable use. It seems a safe bet that far fewerpeople get “save-the-whales” letters. Fewerstill are trained to read them as injunctions from God. I do favor federal funding to abortion but Ithink the only defense that won’t play into theprayer-in-schools crowd’s hands must be liber¬tarian. The Supreme Court’s sodomy decision(not to mention its old age) illustrates thevulnerability of this approach but I feel a gooddeal safer at the hands of the Supreme Courtthan at those of voters in the bible belt whowould roll back fifty years of libertarian progressif given half a chance (the Scopes trial was inthe 1920s!) I want the Christian right to leaveme alone. Civil liberties are my only defenseagainst them.But there is another danger in the slogan“the personal is political.” And here we get intothe meat of the problem of cultural hegemony.The enemy in this case is neither specific norhonest. TV is certainly the standard bearer, andall of the mass-media help. The major messageI get from the media is: think about your ownbody. Whether the ad is for deodorant, cereal,or the latest in tampon technology, the mes¬sage is to focus attention on my own body sothat I will find love (Love Boat style). TV showscalling themselves “news” and large portionsof that paper product known as a “newspaper”delight in stories about personal hygiene fromdiet to sunlight to sleep to (their favorite subjectof all) odors. Any local news show worth itscommercial has a resident “doctor” to warn usabout the latest cancer causing agents andoffer men new quack solutions to the "curse”of baldness.Recognizing the crippling effects of thismedia barrage on women’s (not to mentionmen’s) perceptions of themselves, feministshave called for a celebration of the body and itsnatural processes. This is a mistake. Certainlythe image of ourselves that the media wouldhave us adopt is crippling but I find it far moreserious that the media would have us devote somuch attention to our bodies at all. Sure, theywould have us worry where the feminists wouldhave us celebrate but I’m not convinced thatthis distinction is very important. The reallycrippling aspect of the media barrage is themessage to think about personal hygieneinstead of politics. Whether the news pro¬grammers and advertising people are con¬sciously aware of it or not, they seem to haverecognized more clearly than anyone else that the personal is not political. It is merely per¬sonal and as such replaces the kinds of thoughtand action that would promote serious chal¬lenges to their hegemony, cultural and other¬wise.In the nineteenth century American news¬papers were funded by the political parties.They made no pretenses to objectivity and liedovertly in their partisan causes. Yet there wasan underlying honesty, as though everyoneknew what game was being played. Nobodyexpected the Whig paper to be nice (or fair) tothe Democrats, or vice versa. But the majormessage you got from these papers was: Thinkabout politics; It is important. The papers werevehicles for whipping up the community to getout and vote, and regular voter turnouts of 90per cent or more testify to their success.Somewhere along the line American journalismadopted the credo of “objectivity.” It is thestated policy of CBS News not to cover issuesthat are “controversial.” How does a newsprogram avoid controversial issues? It is easy.Focus on personal hygiene. Make the drive toban smoking appear as the primary politicalissue of the day. After all, nobody is going tostand up to defend lung cancer except that civillibertarian from tobacco country Jesse Helms.The bottom line is that the media use thepersonal to divert the political and to substitutefor it. They portray politics as both distantlysuperior and commonly disreputable. They pre¬fer the personal. It is no accident that theystructure Ronald Reagan’s hairline and his“image” as a leader (whether he is one or notand regardless of where he might be leadingus). Fighting image with image may work in theshort run (promoting liberals with macho-leaderimages, for example) but in the long run it isdoomed. It is incumbent on those who thinkindependently and consider themselves criticsof the ideological hegemony of the media tofight the trivialization of politics and the sub¬version of politics to matters of personalhygiene. If you want to spend your time cele¬brating your own body, have fun. But don’t foolyourself into thinking your actions have anypolitical content whatever. If you want to ad¬vance feminist or other subversive agendas,you are going to have to think about politics.

The condition, while hardlyterminal (except to societies as a whole) afflicts thousands of college students eachyear. It lasts 3-4 months and generally runs its course from June to early September.Yes, we are talking about the “Why should I do anything, I’m on vacation”syndrome. It is certainly an understandable disorder, especially at a stressfulinstitution such as the U of C. After three quarters of constant study, barely everseeing the light of day except through the Reg’s dusty windows it is hardly surprisingthat students are hesitant to do more than exist in the hazy world of MTV and “I LoveLucy” reruns during summer break. Yet by squandering their vacation time, theycheapen it and cheat themselves of what could be valuable experiences.College students could use this free time to benefit themselves and to help others,perhaps even learning something at the same time. Imagine learning in a low stressenvironment. Think about just doing what you are interested in, devoid of grades,cold blooded TA’s, psychotic LA’s and exams. You could do work that has a directeffect on someone else, and that is actuallv appreciated. That’s right, you couldvolunteer.Many students are taking advantage of volunteer opportunities, while others tendto recoil in horror from the mere suggestion that they do work for which they are notpaid. They believe that volunteer work is always boring, paper shuffling enslave¬ment, and that it will tie up too much of their vacation time and take away from theirprime time to be outside ‘solar collecting.’ Of course these others are often wrongabout other things also.Volunteer work doesn’t have to be dull. If you don’t see any positions around thatyou like, create one for yourself. If you don’t enjoy licking envelopes for five hours aday for a worthwhile organization, go to one of the worthwhile organization’sdirectors and offer whatever special talents you might have. You may get theopportunity to do independent work for the group, while learning to do something youenjoy.Volunteer work also doesn’t have to take up huge amounts of time. If it is a positionwhich comes with a lot of responsibility, you may have to attend training sessions,but after that you can probably specify what amount of time you would like to put in.Remember, the worthwhile organization relies on people like you to staff its offices,contact its supporters and do its research. They are more than happy to have you,and certainly aren’t going to make your time with them miserable so that you willwant to quit.You don’t need to miss out on summer sun to volunteer. Many organizations, suchas crises hotlines, need people to work for them round the clock.Remember, you are on vacation from school. You are not on vacation from life. Aslong as you live in a society ( and college students breathe, even during the summer,so we assume that they live then too) you are involved in the needs of those aroundyou.The Chicago Maroon is the official student newspaper of the University ofChicago.
