Itwill provide students with anopportunity to make contactwith volunteer organizations.Five tables in which studentscan sign up during the dayfor any volunteer job will beset up at the Business School. Law School, Divinity School,School of Social Administra¬tion, and Reynolds Club.Three years ago, a smallerversion of Volunteer Weekwas run by the Student Gov¬ernment Committee forCommunity Relations. Thesuccess of the previous drivewas hampered in part by ageneral misconception thatvolunteering required a largetime commitment. However,this is not the case, as In¬afuku emphasizes. “Evenone or two hours a week cancontinued on page sixWHPK budget nearly nixedBv Larrv PeskinStaff WriterA narrow vote in lastThursday's Student Gov¬ernment (SG) Assemblymeeting brought SG’s dis¬satisfaction with the campusradio station WHPK beforethe public eye. SG voted 8-7 to “zero"WHPK's budget, thus fallingtwo votes short of the two-thirds majority needed forthe motion to pass. If thezeroing motion had passed,WHPK would have been al¬lotted no money for itssummer budget. Zeroing a previous quarter’s budget islargely a symbolic gesture,as SG’s finance committee isobliged to make up any debtincurred by a student ac¬tivity, but it is very rare andin this case symbolizes SG’sgrowing impatience withWHPK’s governing board.According to SG FinanceChairman Tim Hansen, SG’simpatience stems fromWHPK's use of phone lines totransmit its signal. WHPK’sstudios are in Mitchell Towerof the Reynolds Club, but itsantenna is atop Pierce Hall,so it must transmit its signalto Pierce via Illinois Belltelephone lines. This ar¬rangement is, in WHPK Sta¬tion Manager Brett Bobley'swords, “like talking on aphone twenty-four hours aday.”According to Hansen,WHPK's phone bill runs inthe neighborhood of $2590each quarter.

Former Maroon football player Bruce Montella enjoyed a trip toEngland this year during his short-lived career with the ChicagoBears.Montella enjoys limelightBy Neil RifkindContributing Writer“Who has brought greaterprestige to the University ofChicago as a student athlete,in recent years, than BruceMontella?” asks Mick Ew¬ing. head coach of the Mar¬oon’s football team.The question is a good one.Montella is a two-timewinner of the Walter HassAward (most valuable plaver1983. 1985, 1985 NCAA divi¬sion III Rushing Champion, aFirst Team All-American(Football News), an Ac¬ademic All-American Awardwinner and the recipient of aNCAA post-graduate schol¬arship.

Dur¬ing the lecture, Muecalia de¬fended the role of the rebelsfighting to wrest control ofAngola from communistforces.Muecalia is the U.S. rep¬resentative of the NationalUnion for the Total In¬dependence of Angola(UNITA). With the help ofSouth Africa and, more re¬cently, the U.S., UNITA hasbeen fighting a ten-yearguerrilla war against theSoviet- and Cuban backedregime which currentlycontrols Angola.Muecalia stressed the needfor U.S. aid to the rebels. Hedeclared that UNITA “should turn to the U.S., thefree world, and African na¬tions to help us” since “whatis at stake in Angola is free¬dom and democracy”. Healso noted that the U.S.House of Representativesrecently repealed anamendment restricting U.S.aid to UNITA after theleader of UNITA, JunasSavimbi, met with the Pres¬ident and Congress to ask foraid for the rebels.Before its independence in1975, Angola had been a Por¬tuguese colony for over 400years. From 1964 to 1975UNITA fought against Por¬tuguese forces. According toMuecalia, UNITA was totake part in free electionsthat were to determine whowould rule the country.Muecalia, though, stressedthat the Communist partywithin Angola, with Cubanbacking, took power before these elections could be held.He added that one majorgoal of UNITA is to makesure these elections takeplace.According to Muecalia,there are over 40.000 Cubantroops in Angola today. Hesaid that conditions underthe Cuban presence are evenworse than they were duringthe colonial period. “Havingthe Portuguese out and theCubans in,” he said, “is likegoing from the frying paninto the fire.”In addition to the goal offree elections, Muecalia saidthat UNITA's other goalswere the “removal of foreigntroops, national reconcilia¬tion” and a new economicprogram stressing “privateinitiative.”Muecalia also defendedUNITA against the often-made charge that UNITA iscontrolled by South Africa. “We condemn apartheid.” hesaid, “as an ideology and asystem. Apartheid is an evilsystem that ought to bebrought down.”The UNITA representativealso denied that the organi¬zation’s founder, Jonas Sa¬vimbi, is a Maoist, a chargemade because Savimbi stud¬ied guerrilla warfare inChina. Muecalia claimedthat Savimbi had wanted tostudy in the U.S. but wasunable to and then went toChina. He quoted Savimbi assaying that he had “learnedhow to fight a guerrilla warand how not to run acountry.”Muecalia said that hispurpose in coming to the U ofC was to build interest in theUNITA cause among thestudent body. “The world oftomorrow,” he said, “be¬longs to the youth of today.”He said that he hoped to build an understanding ofUNITA's goals among stu¬dents here.According to a speakerfrom Common Sense. Mue¬calia joined the youth divi¬sion of UNITA in 1974. Helater fought with UNITA,rising to the rank of colonelbefore being appointed as theUNITA representative toGreat Britain in 1983. Helater became the UNITArepresentative to the U.S.Most of the 20 or so peoplewho came to hear MuecaliaTuesday night were eitherinterested in Common Senseor the UNITA cause. In thewords of one guest, “It was apretty partisan crowd.” Healso said that the speechwould have been more in¬teresting had the anti-UNITAviewpoint been presentedIt’s FREE and it’s EASY!LEARN TO Take a FREESpeed Reading LessonTHIS QUARTER your readingassignments could take over 400HOURS.

According to Cons¬tance Holoman, director of StudentHousing, this number is consideredlarge but not abnormal.“In a given year, we expect to re¬place anywhere from a minimum offour or five to ten Residents Heads atthe high end,” she reported. Holomanattributed the sizable turnover rate oflast year’s Resident Heads to anumber of factors ranging from thecompletion of dissertations to personalreasons. Also, an additional ResidentHead position was created at Broad¬view Hall to deal with its enlargedundergraduate population.Many of the new Resident Headsinterviewed said that they soughtthese jobs for the experience they provide. Travis Kroeker of ComptonHouse viewed the job as “a goodopportunity to know students” inpreparation for a teaching career.Others wanted to live in the main¬stream of a college environment.Marty and Rebecca Cohen of Hitch¬cock Hail had been Resident Heads atSt. Johns College in New Mexico andtook the job to “get into the center oflife at the U of C.”The Resident Head’s thus far appearto be universally enthusiastic abouttheir jobs and the students. RoxanneLaux of Chamberlin House related anincident in which her residents wentout on the Midway at 3 am to aid aneighborhood woman involved in adispute. Betsy Maier of SalisburyHouse was impressed that residentswere “so wonderful and protective” ofher son.The new Resident Heads generally described their jobs as involving ele¬ments of friendship, counseling, ad¬ministration, and discipline. The dis¬cipline aspect of the job was the leastpopular. According to Kroeker, thealcohol policy is especially tricky be¬cause of rumors in housing that ex¬cesses may lead to the banning ofalcohol from undergraduate dorms.The new RH’s had mixed emotionsabout filling the shoes of formerResident Heads. Marty Cohen saidthat while there was a lot of respectfor the former Resident Heads atHitchcock, “the students are per¬ceptive enough to know that peopleare unique.”In at least two houses, last year’sResident Heads left in the midst ofcontroversy. However, Allen Hardin ofHale House views the events of lastyear in that house as “a non-issue.”Added Pat McClarence of Hale, “It’s not an issue; the Borden’s chose toleave.”“When asked if last year’s problemsprovided a special challenge, BruceDelahorn of Chamberlin replied, “Ithink so, to some extent...but last yearwas last year, and it’s a difficult job.If some people have trouble with it,it’s not a surprise.”The College’s new Resident Headsthis year are: Bruce Delahorn andRoxanne Laux of Chamberlin; PeterBenson and Betsy Maier of Salisbury ,Larry and Leslie Sullivan of UpperWallace; Lou Petrich of Upper Rick-ert; Kathy Stewart-Kroeker andTravis Kroeker of Compton; AllenHardin and Pat McClarence of Hale;Marty and Rebecca Cohen of Hitch¬cock; Rich and Lynn Warren ofBlackstone; Bill and Rolamb Balan-Gaubert of Brekinridge; and Jan andKent Dorsey and Joan Manning ofBroadview.Useful Advice for Dissatisfied Dorm ResidentsBy Paul OkelContributing WriterUndergraduates may find life in theresidence halls disagreeable becausesome Resident Heads disregard es¬tablished rules or seem to ignore stu¬dents’ rights and wishes. Discussionbetween students and Resident Headsis the best means to calm such trou¬bles, according to the Office of StudentHousing.Resident Heads are selected after alengthy and detailed screening proc¬ess. According to Vaughn Maatman ofthe University Student Housing Office,they are given manuals and a series ofday-long seminars before studentsarrive. He added that Resident Headsare also required to attend a numberof informational and educationalworkshops throughout the academicyear. Because of this training, Resi¬dent Heads should know the rules and consistently abide by them.Relations between students andResident Heads nevertheless have atroubled past. Director of StudentHousing Constance Holoman re¬marked that, “There have certainlybeen times in the past when therehave been problems with ResidentHeads.” She added that students andResident Heads “don’t see eye to eyeon house policy and council matters.”Holoman commented that in thepast, “Most of the time, problemshave been worked out.” Yet studentsare not always satisfied. One saidthat, “Nothing happened and nothingwas ever done (about out problem).”The difficulties that arise betweenstudents and Resident Heads are oftensimilar to the problems mismatchedroommates experience, according toHoloman. In both cases, the two par¬ties usually do not talk to each other and make no effort to compromise.When a problem arises, Holomansuggests that a student or group ofstudents approach the Resident Headand try to talk things over.If an individual feels uneasy, Hol¬oman recommends that another stu¬dent or representative from StudentHousing sit in on the discussion as animpartial party. If students collectpetitions or circulate lists of griev¬ances, they create an antagonisticsituation that Holoman said impedeschanges for the better. She suggestedthat a direct and honest dialogue leadsto a satisfying outcome for both par¬ties.Although Holoman said she “wouldhope that the house community wouldwork things out,” students can andshould go elsewhere if a conflict with aResident Head persists. A student orstudents can take any concerns to Holoman, Maatman, or Assistant Di¬rector of Student Housing, HaroldJarcho, who supervise the housingstaff in the various residence halls.Resident Masters can also mediatedisputes.If no solution is reached, studentscan then go to the Director of Univer¬sity Housing. If nothing else works,the Office of the Dean of Students canbe contacted as a last resort.In any case, Holoman indicated thatstudents will probably have to talkwith their Resident Head in personsooner or later. Therefore, the bestway to avoid a bureaucratic solution isto talk about any problem with theResident Head whenever possible. Ifstudents want to improve the qualityof life in their houses, they shouldbring any misconduct to the immedi¬ate attention of their Resident Head orthe Housing Office.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOMICROCOMPUTER DISTRIBUTION CENTER1307E.60TH STREET962-6086We offer excellent discounts to full-time students, faculty and staff ona variety of microcomputer hardware and software that can solveyour word processing, and computing needs -APPLEAT&THEWLETT-PACKARDIBMZENITH LOTUSMICROSOFTMINITABU.S. ROBOTICSWORDPERFECTFor more information and pricing callThe Microcomputer Distribution Center962-6086Come see the products and meet the vendors at the Bookstore Electronics Fair, Oct. 15, 16, 17, and register to win anApple Macintosh Plus, Zenith portable, & other great prizes!The Chicago Maroon—Friday October 10 1986—3Tired of the same old campus coffee houses?Need a place to study?VisitCome enjoy the ambiance of aEuropean style cafefeaturing:★ The finest coffee in Hyde Park(Come and taste the difference our freshroasted beans make)★ Delicious sandwiches★ Gourmet pastries★ A wide assortment of teas★ Imported hot chocolate★ Expresso and cappuccinoM-F 10:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.Sat. 9:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.Sun. 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.5211 S.

He calculatesthat a $20,000 dish would payfor itself in little more than ayear and a half, but heclaims that WHPK is“dragging its heels’’ andmaking little progress to¬ward installation of thetransmitter dish. Hansen in¬sists that SG does not want toshut down WHPK, but henoted that, “The message toWHPK is just to hurry up.We don’t want to keep paying$2000 a quarter.”Bobley expressed muchsurprise at SG’s position.According to Bobley, it is theStudent Activities Office(SAO), rather than his sta¬tion, which is delaying pur¬chase of the dish, since SAOhas taken over all in¬vestigation into the matter.Bobley complains that thewhole investigative processhas been slowed by bu¬reaucracy. As an example he cited SAO’s and the Tele¬communications Depart¬ment’s suggestion thatWHPK move its antenna.“We thought of that yearsago.” he said. “It’s likemoving in circles.”SAO director Irene Conleyagrees that the blame for thedelay lies with her office, butshe argues that the delay is agood thing. She commentedthat, “To walk up to RadioShack, buy a dish and plop itsomewhere is not the solu¬tion... We’re talking about asystem we want to work wellinto the future.” Accordingto Conley, there are, in addi¬tion to the engineering prob¬lems, also a large number oflegal dilemmas which mustbe solved before WHPK canget a new system. She hopesto have all possible optionsinvestigated by the end ofthis quarter so that “in¬telligent discussion” ofWHPK’s ultimate decisioncan begin. In the meantime,SG is sending out a letter toWHPK urging them to reacha decision as soon as possi¬ble. by Berke BreathedQu/ETIY. THE NTREP1P REPORT-EP ANP HU ARMET?

In the past, the Student Vol¬unteer Bureau on the third floor of theBlue Gargoyle has been students’primary link with the community.Their repertoire of programs includelegal aid clinics, tutoring services,and, most recently, a lit¬eracy program for Hyde Park. TheBureau faces a difficult task in at¬tracting students because they are notaffiliated with the University.This year’s Student Governmentwould like to greatly increase thisnumber by supplying the manpowerand organization of a Universitysponsored campus-wide drive. It ishoped that this year many more stu¬dents will take advantage of this op¬portunity to become better acquainted with the Hyde Park community.In an effort to recognize significantcontributions of volunteers, Inafukuapproached President Hanna Grayabout establishing an award for ex¬ceptional student volunteer services.The only award currently given forcommunity service is to graduatingseniors interested in humanitarianpursuits. President Gray Iooks for¬ward to the creation of two awards offive hundred dollars each available tograduate or undergraduate students.The President’s Award for StudentVolunteers, given for the first timethis year, will mark the University’scommitment to volunteer work. Ac¬cording to Dean of Students NancyMaull, although details of the awardstill need to be worked out, nomi¬nations are to be solicited from stu¬dents and faculty and will be screenedby a student faculty committee.

October 10.1986—7At the Stadium: Two Fans Predict Playoff ResultsBy Ricky SnyderContributing WriterOctober — That time of the year. Thefour best teams in baseball meet in theleague championship series, two going ontothe fall classic. Here’s my look at theAmerican League and Mike’s estimate ofthe National League.American LeagueOverall: Despite what most people think,the Angels do have a realistic chance inthis series. In fact, I think that they willtake the Red Sox. These two teams arevery well matched, as their team ERA'Sand total runs scored are virtually thesame. Boston hits for a higher average,while California slugs in more home runs.Both staffs got to where they are on solidstarting pitching, but lack great stoppers.Starting pitching: Clemens showed ingame one that he’s only human. Unfortu¬nately, he pitched the worst game of hiscareer and lost 8-1. McCaskill (17-10, 3.40 >vs. Hurst (13-8, 2.99) in game two shouldhave been a good matchup, but the Angelsforgot how to play defense. Boston won 9-2,but McCaskill didn't pitch all that badly. Ingame three, John Candelaria (10-2, 2.55) isone of only two veteran starters in theseries. He’ll oppose Oil Can Boyd (16-10,3.78) who had a solid year despite hissuspension in July. In game four DonSutton (15-11, 3.74), the other veteran, willface Clemens if the Angels win game three.Otherwise, al Nipper (10-11, 5.45) will gofor Boston The loss of Seaver could provecostly, especially if the series goes sevengames. Edge to California. Relief pitching: Both teams lack middlerelief pitching, so it’s almost a matter ofwho can knock out the starter first. DonnieMoore, California’s main stopper, is toughwhen healthy, but headaches have givenhim trouble all year. Calvin Schiraldi,Boston’s closer, has pitched well since be¬ing called up on July 19. He could prove tobe an important factor in close games.Edge to Boston.Offense: Boston’s stacked lineup featureshitters such as Wade Boggs. Jim Rice, ex-Yankee Don Baylor, and Dwight Evans.These four were the nucleus of the offense,with Marty Barrett and Rich Gedman con¬tributing. The Red Sox lack speed, as theystole only 44 bases as a team. Gary Pettis,the Angels centerfielder. stole more basesby himself.The Angels lineup is more concentratedthan Boston’s, with most of the punchcoming from DeCinces, Joyner, Downing,and Mr. October. Pettis and Schofield arethe only base stealing threats in the series.Grich adds power at second base, andRuppert Jones has some punch in rightfield. Edge: even.Intangibles: Boston has the distinction ofbeing a “choker,” but then again so doesanv team Gene Mauch manages. Californiahas many players with playoff experience,while Boston has only Evans and Buckner.I think the Angels are the hungrier team,and they’ve got what it takes to win.Predictions:California in sevenNew York in six Bv Mike NanniniContributing WriterThe dark clouds that have hovered overShea and in the Astrodome for 25 yearshave finally showed their silver linings. Itis indeed fitting that two teams celebratingtheir silver anniversaries should face eachother in the playoffs. Here’s how one fol¬lower of the game matches the two teams^Starting pitching: As far as pitchinggoes New York is number one in theleague and Houston is number two. NewYork comes in with lour very impressivestarting pitchers. The crafty Bob Ojeda(18-5, 2.53), this year’s John Tudor - RonDarling (15-6, 2.81), “deadly when I get itover” Sid Fernandez (16-6, 3.52) and, ofcourse, Doctor K himself, Dwight Gooden(17-6, 2.84). Houston, however, countersthis fearsom foursome with the most un¬heralded and unexpected staff of the year:Bob Knepper (17-12, 3.14), freight trainNolan Ryan (12-8, 3.34), strike-out artistand rookie Sim Deshaies (12-5, 3.25), andMike Scott (18-10, 2.22) the hottest pitcherin baseball and soon-to-be Cy Young awardwinner. This matchup goes to New Yorkonly if Houston goes with a four manrotation. If Houston goes with a three manrotation (as rumored). New York will seeMike Scott three times in a seven gameseries. And Scott proved Wednesday nightjust how much of a factor his presence canbe.Relief pitching: New York has a betterbullpen than Houston, but not by muchNew York is led by Roger McDowell fromthe right and Jesse Orosco from the left.These two both had over twenty saves andare quite an impressive 1-2 punch HoustonQUESTION #2.HOWCAN THE BUDGET-CONSCIOUSCOLLEGE STUDENT SAVE MONEY?a) Save over 50% off AT&T’s weekday rates onout-of-state calls during nights and weekends.b) Don’t buy textbooks when “Monarch Notes” will dojust fine.c) Save 40% off AT&T’s weekday rate on out-of-starecalls during evenings.d) Count on AT&T for exceptional value and high qualityservice.e) Hang around with the richest kids in school; let thempick up the tab whenever possible.weekendsto 8 am,fwItc If you’re like most college students in the western hemisphere,you try to make your money go a long way.

Houston’s bull pen compiled 51saves this year while New York was phe¬nomenal at holding the lead in the lateinnings. Again, it’s a close vote for NewYork.Offense: Here’s where the Mets enjoy acommanding edge. They are much betterin left with Mookie Wilson and Kevin Mit¬chell over Houston’s Jose Cruz and incenter with Len Dykstra over BillyHatcher. Also, Gary Carter and Ray“Lazarus” Knight are better than AlanAshby and Denny Walling. Right field andsecond base, however, belong to the Astrosboth defensively and offensively. KevinBass plays much better than the overratedDarryl Strawberry and Billy Doran out¬matches the Wally Backman/Tim Teufelcombination. First base goes to the Mets,with All-Star Keith Hernandez holding adefensive edge over the Astros’ sluggingGlenn Davis. Both teams are about evendefensively in the speed department.Predictions: Although both teams cameinto the series riding five game winstreaks. I feel that New York is lethargicafter leading the division by twenty games.Yes, they have the best record in themajors, but the division title may havebeen too easy. Houston, on the other hand,fought all season for its pennant and withthe opening games on their home astro¬turf, they have a very, very good chance ofupsetting the Mets. As for the Red Sox-Angels. I'm from New England so mychoice is obvious.Predictions:Houston 4, New York 3Boston 4, California 2CALL (312) 855-108835mm (g®0@:Prints and Slidesfrom the same rollKodak MP film Eastman Kodak'sprofessional motion picture (MP) film nowadapted for still use in 35mm cameras bySeattle FilmWorks Enjoy micro-fine gramand rich color saturation.

The album iseasily the weakest album the group has madein their six year history, but don’t let that foolou, it is still a great album, and without adoubt one of the year’s best. It is a tribute to ithe band’s strength that a relatively weakalbum is this good. The album is not a quantumleap below the quality of any of the otherrecords, but it is still not quite of the level ofFablbs of the Reconstruction, their previousrecord. This is the album that was predicted tofollow Reckoning, a smooth, approachablealbum that can give REM a mass following. |The production job is slick, as usual, thoughthe production is where I find the few problemsthere are on the record. The little non-musical,clips at the beginning of “Hyena” and “Su¬perman” and the banjo opening to "I Believe”don’t have anything to do with the songs andtend to wreck the continuity of the album.However, the performances themselves aresuperb, and two of the songs, "Just A Touch”and "Hyena” capture all the energy of a liveperformance. The entire album is dripping withenergy. On the whole, the album is a definitemust for anyone who likes rock music.In support of the album, REM began “ThePageantry Tour” on September 5, in Bir¬mingham, Alabama, hitting the road for the firsttime since December 1985. In the interveningten months the band played a handful of liveshows and recorded the album. From theshows I saw in early September, the long breakhad not hurt them, as they were already in topform. They were very spontaneous, playingwithout a set list with an emphasis on the lasttwo albums. There was almost nothing fromChronic Town and Murmur, with no more thantwo songs from both albums in each show. Thistour is their best since mid-1984. REM will be atthe UIC Pavilion October 19.The following interview was done with PeteBuck, guitarist for REM, backstage after theshow at Cincinati’s Tact Theater. Specialthanks go to my friend John Nieman, who wasalso present at the interview, to Chris, REM'sroad manager, and to Pete Buck himself.M—Mark JosephsonJ—John Nieman ■B—Bill Berryp—Pete BuckM: How do you feel about having so many rabid■fans around you all the time?P: Well, it’s better than having leperous onesActually, that’s why you do it. We do it forourselves, but if it was like some of those bigbands when you have to have a hit single andpeople like you if you have a hit single and ifyou don’t have a hit single they don’t like you, Ijust wanna give up. I mean, I’d rather have itmatter to the people who come see us.M: Did you ever hear of AJ Weberman?P: Yeah! He’s the Dylanologist who wentthrough the trash, (note: AJ taught classes in"Dylanology” at CCNY. He gained nationalattention in 1970 by picking through Dylan’sgarbage in an attempt to find clues aboutDylan’s lyrics.)M: Do you ever fear getting one of those?P: I’ve got ’em—but not to that degree. Thething is, it’s natural in a way. When I was ateenager I idolized Patti Smith. I never followedher around, I never, you know, queered out onher but, you know, you wanted to know moreabout Patti and you wanted to bump into her.lcut my hair like her and I used to dress like herand everything.M: laughsP: It was 1975, I was 17, give me a break. Ilooked just like her, too. My hair’s still thatsame way, that blank Patti look.M: You know from the 23rd row tonight if youwould have put on a magician's suit you wouldhave looked like Jimmy Page in The SongRemains the Same.P: (laughs) You know, I saw Zeppelin in 72when I was 13 and I liked them.M: / would have like<f ,to see them in '80 butthey cancelled the foot.P: I saw them in 75 and they sucked. But I sawthem in 72 and they were great.M: Your record contract is due to expire afterthe next album, correct?P: Yeah.M: A friend of mine told me that in your newcontract you were going to have some kind ofGrateful Dead-type open-taping clause.P: It’s not so much that, it’s just when wesigned with IRS we were unknown and didn’thave any power So we could0’* do e lo* n* YOU MEAN BY ’things We wanted to give out fan club alter¬native takes, bootlegs, demo type things; if youwant a bootleg, write to the fan club thing, itwould be a very non-commercial situation, infact we would probably lose money on it. Nexttime, we ll have the latitude to do that. It’s notsomething like we’d put out albums on anotherlabel, we’d just put out a single of usdoing...Meters songs. We know 2 or 3 of theirsongs, we do them at soundchecks sometimes.We’ll do that.M: Do you mind show taping?P: I don’t mind show taping, I mind it when itsucks and I catch people selling it. I’ve takentapes away from people in England and said“Sorry, this sucks, I’m not gonna let you sell ithere And I’m gonna come back tomorrow andif you’re still here I’m gonna call the cops. Butthere are other times when its good—I buy allthe bootlegs, if they're cool bootlegs it’s fine.But to everyone who makes tapes and records,especially records, send me a copy but if itdoes suck I’ll come and get you.M: What do you mean by “suck.” Is it thequality?P: Yeah. I mean if we suck that’s our fault. Butif the sound quality sucks or if the cover sucksthen there’s no reason for them to do it.There’s a couple, the first two I ever saw of uswere really horrible. But I’ve got others, youknow, things a fan would like. You know,alternative takes, outtakes, live takes, remixes,covers, weird things.M: Speaking of things, a friend of mine told methat there are outtakes from this album circulat¬ingP: Oh God, already?M: He said that someone who knew you wasgonna get him some tapesP: You see I find that hard to believe becauseof all the stuff we did for this record, wenarrowed it down. We had about 4 songs wewrote that didn’t make the record and of those,two of them don’t have vocals.M: That doesn't stop anyoneP: No it doesn’t but if they want to be that analabout it then, go ahead and have it. I doubtvery much that it’s around. I mean, / don’t havea copy of it.M: Neither do I. He told me two months ago heis gonna get it...P: There's a great song we’re gona reworkcalled “Bad Day" and it’s a lot like Husker Du.like, super fast and its got super-fuzzyguitarM: laughsP: No, seriously, we’ve influenced them andthey’ve influenced us. I mean we’re not they’rebiggest influence, and they’re not our biggestinfluence, but you know, steal from your con¬temporariesM What do you think of bands—well I guessthat answers the question—that sould like theyimitate you. Guadalcanal Diary, for example.P: I don’t know, you see. the thing is what wedo encompasses so much stuff, not that we doit well, but it encompasses a lot of things so Ican see very well that there are a lot of thingsthat we do that would be similar to what other people do but it’s not necessarily becausethey've listened to us. They might listen to thesame records Every once in a while I hear aband that I know has been super-influenced byus and it’s OK. We steal from everyone. “TimeAfter Time” has a guitar riff that I ripped offfrom the Rain Parade. You’d never know itbecause it's only one note, but it’s an ideamore than a riff. And it’s...M: PlagarismlP: Yeah! And I steal stuff from Sonic Youth,and wherever, it just depends. You won’t knowit, but I do.M: Your movie Athens Inside Out will be out inwhat, a couple of months?P: End of October, I guess.M: End of October? Is it going to be onlyreleased on colleges? That's what I've heard.P: Well, it’s going to be or> midnight movies,colleges, we’re going to try to get it on cable,you know, whether its Showtime, HBO. one ofthose types of things. It’s about Athens, and it’sdone just from the point of view of someonefilming every eccentric and every wierdo intown. So there's live stuff of us, me andMichael, live stuff of all the bands in town,interviews with ministers, art teachers, guyswho work in the school...M: What stuff do you do live?P: We do two songs live, but with no one there,in an old abandoned church—not the one welived in—its the Lucy Cobb Institute. We do“Swan Swan,” and “Dream,” the Everfybrothers song.M: What do you think of the Fleshtones beingdropped from IRS?P: I think it sucks, I wanted to produce the nextFleshtones record I asked them to...maybe,sometime. I want to anywayM: Do you know if they will be picked up soonby another label?P: Oh, they have lots of opportunities but Idon't know how high they're shootm’ theirsights They could put out records on smallerlabels and in France and around the worldforever. And they sell enough records, they'repopular. But I don’t think that CBS or some¬thing is gonna take a shot at them becausethey’re too weird. Not weird, like, weird, butthey’re just too much like the Fleshtones.M: Too much of a risk.P: In left field, (laughs)M: So how did the Hindu Love Gods getstarted?P: We decided we had too much time off. whichwas about three weeks, and we just did it. Noheavy concept. And the record ("Gonna Have AGood Time Tonight”, 7"). you know, was just adumb little fun thing, supposed to be kindaentertaining, you know, it’s a single, it’s sup¬posed to be $1 79 I love the Easybeats, andMichael would never sing that song. I askedhim and he absolutely would not.M I remember seeing an interview once. I don'tremember if it was you or the commentator,one of you. I don't know which, said that thesongs on your 1980 demo tape were “inferior. ’’P: Yeah, pretty inferior...M: You said you'd never play any of themR.E.M. INTERVIEWR.E.M. in the wild SUCK?"again, so why are you all of a sudden res¬urrecting them?P: Oh, well “Just A Touch” was a good song.Most of that stuff is inferior, but “Just A Touch”we’ve done on and off for five years and it justfit in with the idea of this record.M: It seems that a lot of the stuff on this recorddates back a long way. “What If We gave ItAway” dates back to early...P: Yeah, different lyrics, different melody, dif¬ferent arrangement but the same song We didit once in 1982.M: *7 Believe" dates back to before Fables.P: No.M: Oh I'm pretty sure I’ve got a version.P: Absolutely not. What you might have is asong that has about four lines of the lyrics...M: That sounds right...P: That’s it. It’s a completely different song.M: / thought it sounded sorta familiar the firsttime I heard it.P: “When I was young and full of grace,” isfrom a song we wrote called “When I WasYoung” for Fables, and just didn’t make it. Sohe kept those two lines that he liked, and thatwas it. "Just A Touch” is older, “Hyena” waswritten about the time of Fables and just didn’tmake it.M: Didn’t you do that on some of the ’84 tour?P: Could be, it’s after Reckoning. They get old?What’s old? We’ll put out old stuff, and eachyear there’s one thing on an album that’s old.“Driver 8,” when we did Fables, was old,because it was written before Reckoning, andwhen we did Reckoning. “Pretty Persuasion”was old because it was written before Murmur.But hell, it depends upon the album. I don’t seethat we have to write these things all in oneweek.M: Right.P: So we pull things in that fit in with theconcept of the record. “Just A Touch” fit inwith this record, it would never have fit in withany of the other ones. “Wind Out," if we hadn'trecorded that for that movie Bachelor Party, wewould have put it on this record.M: Speaking of "Wind Out, ” there’s one set ofouttakes from Reckoning that has two versionsof “Wind Out," and on one of them—is that yousinging?P: No, that’s our lawyer and our manager.M: Naw!P: Seriously.You know, they’re my age, 28, 29whatever, and we went out to lunch, and theyjust did that as a joke, totally improvised, theyjust sang it, and we thought it was really funny.You know, why not? But it was just “Stick it upyour butt/Stick it up your butt/Wind Out.” Theydidn’t have any idea of what the lyrics werebecause they hadn’t heard the song in twoyears.J: And it appeared in Bachelor Party forapproximately 4.2 seconds.P: It’s Don Johnson!B: Don Johnson?P: I swear, with the hair and the little unshavenand the jacket. Do I see “via lobos” written onthere? No. . .What does that say?M: Where?P: Down at the bottom. Oh...Village Voice.M: Village Voice.P: Oh yeah, the Tom Carson review.M: Yeah, what do you think of that review?P: Well, it was incredibly over the top.M: It seemed very ..uh...P: Vitriolic?M: It seemed like it went overboard. He'd ratherlisten to True Blue?P: Well, I don’t know, True Blue’s not a badrecord. You know, it’s not as good as the otherMadonna records, but it’s OK. (pause) Whatcan I say? I totally disagree with him. I thinkhe’s full of shit. But that’s why the Voice is outthere. It doesn’t really particularly bother me. Ifit was a critic that I respected a lot, that wouldbe something different.M: What critics do you respect?P: Well, uh, Lester Bangs, but he isn’t gonnawrite a bad review cuz he’s dead, um, youknow, I don’t know, Greil Marcus, but hedoesn’t write about rock ’n’ roll much. Mostpeople I like, like us, coincidently enough, butthen there’s a lot of people I like that don’t writeabout us, don’t care about us—you know I’mnot gonna sit here and tell you what critics I likeand don’t 'ike, cuz that's kinda shitty and like,currying favor. Tom Carson, I don’t dislike, Ithought that was just, uh. obviously we didsomething that he really disliked, because heused to be a really big fan. We hurt his feelings,like, that’s the kind of thing you say about yourcontinued on page 7815-758-4313Phones are answered: 7:30 am to 11:30 am and 1:30 pm to 11:30 pm UMBERTO [GO*ART AND BEAUTY*IN THE MIDDLE AGESWWWWWWMain ■■PARLIAMENTARY SELECTIONiEMMARY COOP BOOKSTORE HINOW OPEN UNTIL1R MON&HTO\\\\\\\\\\\\w\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\,\\\\\1621 EAST 55th ST241-7778OPEN 7 DAYShair performers‘/'///////rsUniversity of ChicagoThe 1986-87Early Music FestivalPresented by The Department of MusicLes Arts FlorissantsOctober 30,1986Tickets: $12; U of C students $7.Kuijken QuartetNovember 21,1986Tickets: $12; U of C students, $7.Tickets available at the Reynolds Club box office.

It hada roof, floors, walls and grass. There was even a swingset in the backyard. Natty with her dull brown hair andlusterless eyes was only twenty-four. She had marriedGeorge on a whim, one weekend after going to thefootball game with him, and having dinner at TJ's, the bigcampus hang-out, he called her up on the phone, at hersorority and said, “Say, Natty, there was something Iwanted to talk to you about at the football game and Idon't know why, but I just never got around to askingyou.” She knew he had been trying to get up enoughnever to say it. He had seized her hand several times andopened his mouth, but she had thought it was only hisexcitement over the game. She feigned innocence now,on the phone. "Oh, what Georgey?”He lost his nerve again. “Do you think I should buythat tweed coat?" he blurted out. They had beenshopping the day before and he had deliberated over anugly green tweed. She tiad told him to buy, just becauseshe was bored with shopping and wanted him to moveon.“Yeah. I liked it.” She yawned. Faith, one of hersisters, tweaked her on the cheek, as she walked back inher rabbit pajamas."You're just saying that Natty.” George said flatly,dutifully."No I'm not.” They were cardboard. This went on untilhe decided to get it and hung up.Then as Natty was trying to sleep she heard her namebeing called below her window. George wasn't going tore£t until he had gotten this thing taken care of. Sheleaned out the window. “Can’t you just get everythingtaken care of in one shot? I mean, how many — ”"Look. I know this is preposterous, but — Natty willyou marry me and be my wife?”“Yeah, but can I get some sleep? I have to get up ateight in the friggen morning — ”“Oh dearest beloved — ” She slammed her windowshut and missed the rest.She liked the tacky house as much as she liked thegreen tweed, but his taste., well, his taste... never mind.He was nice and served her well. He barbecued hot dogsin the late afternoon sun, listening to the baseball game,and talking over the fence to Ryan, their next-doorneighbor, and sailing with his buddies on the weekends.He was a happy man, and when anything bothered him,he simply went to the library and checked out self-helpbooks.He worked in a law firm downtown, doing the account¬ing. He was respected, and diligent. Natty came to seehim on her excursions downtown, and they would havelunch. Leaning over the table at Thompson’s Georgewould get idealistic, mostly because he was in the middleof a workday and quite caught up in his daily work, hislifeblood — he was hyper, and clutching Natty’s hand, hewould talk about the house, and their up and coming heir.He would fantasize about his own business and by theend of the hour, pay the check with distraction and hustleNatty out, watching doors and passersby, that no oneshould bump into her. And she always, passive, slightlybored, allowed him to lead her down the street By hisoffice they would kiss, and George would dare to run hishand down her back, there on the street. Then Nattywould go back to her shopping with the same importanceGeorge went back to his job, and yet, somehow, staringat the scarves, and dwelling over the perfume, she felt anagging, tugging ennui. Often she went home, andpicked up her old college textbooks, and wondered aboutall the little things again she’d wondered about once,when, as a history major, King Phillip and the MiddleAges had troubled her little mind. When, late at night,studying maps, she’d tried to figure out where man hadreally come from.Well then, but what did it have to do with her house,and selecting color schemes? Back in college, nobodyhad ever doubted the sanctity of marriage, the prece¬dence of a husband in a young girl’s life. Even whenthey’d fussed over grades, they’d fussed, always, moreover their dresses for dances, and their datesNatty chose not to involve herself in her communitylife. It was there, hovering like a vulture Her neighbors,other vapid women with hollow eyes and smiles, wanted her to join up with girl scouts and charities. They wantedher to participate in bake sales and pancake days. Whenshe ignored them, hoping her indifference would givethem the cue, and they would leave her alone, they wereinsulted and gave her nasty glares. After all, it was herlife, and just because they shared the same street, town,and property taxes didn't mean she was committed tosharing their lifestyles.With her expanding stomach, Natty began to experi¬ence frustration. She paced around the house, staringdown at herself, and sometimes she cried. Somethingwork up — when most women became calm and contentwith pregnancy, she realized her self-hatred. It was whyshe had married George. As a child, her parents hadspoiled her, but when it came time to deal with realities,she was ill-prepared. She got bad grades, and neverquite fit in. She was passive, but at the same time sheexpected to get her way all the time, she was sub¬servient. Perhaps it was in her attempting to get her way.She grew to loathe her peers, teachers, everyone. Incollege she joined a sororiety by way of escaping, onceagain, the real world.She'd never really known anyone that she respected.After her encounter with the world, and her disillusion¬ment, after the loathing and fighting, she settled in, butstill hated, quietly hated. Why, she didn’t know. She wasan animal, deep inside. She was territorial; in public, ifsomeone stood to close to her, she angered. Whenpeople walked slowly, drove slowly, got in her path, shewas incensed. But no one would have guessed, becauseunderneath her calm exterior, the burning hell, that wascovered up It only leaked out in subtle ways—a cynicalsmile, and her habit of standing back from a group offriends, a crowd, with her feigned shyness, which wasactually scorn and boredom.And George Well, he was an end to the othermiserable dates. He wouldn’t bother her, but he'd protecther. That was what she required out of man; a home andsafety in the ridiculously dangerous and complicatedworld. She pretended to love him; sometimes she did.She loved to watch him hoist his little boat out of thewater, his muscles flickering in the sun, his hair acrosshis forehead, in his eyes. His easiness with other people,his sense of humor. She admired these qualities in him.When he was tied in with the outer world, and not coilingaround her and sucking the lifeblood out of her system.When he was not making demands.Once in her more idealistic days she had her eyes onRegan, during her freshman year in college. He askedher out, and after a few dates she was totally infatuated.He never called her up. Then another boyfriend, Mark,who had consumed and enveloped her. “Oh, I love yousugarpie, do you love me?” She laughed, as if hislovemaking were a joke, and he was fooled for a while.He made more and more demands, and finally wasrebuffed, outright. One dark night, after a bad date, atsome classical concert, she had slapped him in public.She couldn't remember why, all she knew was that hehad been driving her crazy and then he had dragged herout by her wrist and said she was cold and unfeeling, andshe had said right, for you I am He had a whole list ofnegative qualities, which drew her suspicions out. Howhad he collected so many, when he had professednothing but love and devotion for her for the past fewmonths? It spilled out — her heartlessness, she was auser, she was spoiled, and vain, and indulgent andnegative and powerful and power hungry. Oh, it went on.The relationship didn’t though.George was different, with his mind full of sports facts -and bad jokes, his buddies dominating his life, when hewasn't studying, his obsession with Lauren Bacall andPresident Nixon, his love for whiskey sours, and alwayswatching the evening news, oddly enough for the weatherreports. The obsession to know the conditions. Becauseof his multifarious personality, he seemed to have allangles on life, and so he questioned nothing about it. Heenjoyed it; he had it pinned down.She envied him this quality. He was specific: sailing,whiskey sours, weather reports and Lauren Bacall. Thatwas it. No refuse. The rest bored him And she could stopgroping for what it was she was really looking for. Sheliked history, but she liked literature and she liked music.She liked sports, but she liked dancing too, and she alsoliked art. And then of course her desire to be an operasinger, once, in childhood. And nothing Nothing evercame of it, like an unopened Christmas presentThe house was limiting She had come here, on somelong and confusing journey, arrived, set everything, herburdens, and her bags down, and now she was baffled It was so quiet, and clean, no more nait-naked sistersrunning around, no more drunken evenings in dirty bars,or visiting messy apartments, and watching footballgames on dirty carpets with beer and cigarettes and lotsof feet in your face. No more magazines, ripped up,shared by seventeen people, and books lost, clothingborrowed and stolen, papers lost and returned, andgrades fluttering in like little white doves and landing onher paper weight, distracting her studying. And the phoneringing at all hours; insane boyfriends wanting locks ofhair or old classnotes, or varsity jackets found under thebed, with condoms and letters about other sisters.Gossip, and inability to sleep, taking sleeping pills, drugs,or just drinking to get through a dreadful night. How oftenshe had wanted this tranquility. She’d wanted trees in themorning outside her window, and birds chirping, aftersex, to signature her beastliness. Yes, I m just an Eve,and not, after all. a messed-up, dying human being. Thetrees so green, the sky so blue — well, that was what shehad wanted.George was so good, so quiet and never snored orkicked. She tossed and turned half the night, and in themorning almost slapped him to wake him up. Even whenhe woke, he lay there, on weekend mornings, and half-awake would say, "Hey, Natty. How'd you sleep?” Shewanted something from him always, even after she hadeverything. She wanted maybe, the noise and confusionagain.But it was quiet. Occasionally the mailman came, andshe pattered down the steps in the sun, like some Romanprincess in a toga, with her dainty toes flying, herdisheveled hair. Always Mrs. Parsons, watering ger¬aniums miltarily on her front porch glared at her, like shewas some wanton bohemian.Was she happy? Big and round, lying around a whitehouse like a war veteran, or a goddess, she couldn’t tellwhich — some days it felt more like one than the other.Sometimes she looked around and everyone seemed soneurotic and retarded to her. It would occur to her oneday, at the grocery store, as she stared at the peoplepinned and buckled together, their bodies creamed andsalved, rubbed and masked, rubbing away at their skin,like a mystic scrubbing for a genie, dying for beauty.At other times she just felt guilty, like she was closingher eyes to the real world. But hadn’t she wanted that,ever since childhood?One night, George was making phone calls in thedining room, and drinking a whiskey sour. Natty askedhim if he wanted chicken for dinner and he said he wasgoing out. “You don’t mind, do you?” No, she didn’t.Later on at night he came in and she was reading by thewindow in the livingroom, in a dim light He looked at her,quite pregnant now, and suddenly, impulsively kneltbefore her. It was something in her eyes. “Natty, youdon't want this child. I can see it.”“What?” she looked at him. and laughed “Don’t besilly.”He put his head in her lap for an instant, and begantalking about business, and then, as she was stroking hishead and playing with her hair he looked up, “What if Iwere to go away for a while? Not that long, for businessWould that upset you?”It wasn’t the going away that bothered her, butsomething else in his eyes that hinted other things:women., or he wanted to get away from her. Was he sickof her? What did she care? “No, I don't mind.” Shestopped stroking his head and got up to go to bed Hewatched her go ponderously.He was gone, and came back, and several more timesthis occurred and she began to get restless, and went tovisit a friend, Betty, in New Haven. Betty told her sheshould go back to school and teach, if she was bored.But soon the baby was born, and Natty was tied downnow, for good. George's trips bothered her, simply out ofenvy. How come he was allowed to go anywherewhenever he wanted to and she was stuck at home? Andthe child, ugly, and loud and rude and utterly unlikeanything she’d ever dealt with. Setting him on hischanging table, and looking down at him, arms and legspawing at the air, he was like a turkey that was hard todeal with — that was all he was to her, and she hated,really hated her life.George didn't know or ask. He smiled at her andcuddled the baby, more affectionate than she was. “Whydon’t you stay at home and care for him, and I’ll work?”she asked. He laughed. “Because I don’t have breasts.”“He’s weaned.”Seriously now, “Well what kind of a job could you get?Besides, I like working.”“I'll go back to school, then I’ll teach history."In the late afternoons, she sat and read. She read allnight, and woke in the morning to feed Albert. Georgewent to work automaton, and she studied again, all daylong.

She was a strongwoman, physically and emotionally. She wore her skirtwithout the usual coquettishness of women, with func¬tional mushroom shoes (nurse-like) and coffee coloredpantyhose. Her hands were knobby and tanned; her hairin an austere bun. She bordered on being an attractivewoman, with finely-etched lines on her face, a prominentnose, dazzling blue eyes, and high cheekbones. But shewas too stern, no jewelry, nothing but the essentials, andnot much frivolity was revealed in her face. The lineswere lines of worry, and the smile as out of place as agrin on a cat's face.“You must be a happily married woman.” Ashworthcommented as they rumbled along the street in the truck.“Yes.”“But you don’t get involved in too many communityaffairs. Why not?”Natty shrugged, “I’m not interested.”Ashworth disapproved. “That’s like saying when yourchild has a fever you have other things to do. Interest isnot the question. Duty is.”“I have many duties, and to fulfill all of them requiresall of my time." Natty replied hotly.Now she understood what Ashworth's revenge was tobe. Bit by bit, brainwashing. Chipping away at thefoundation, like drops of water on the surface of a stone,eroding ever so gradually.Ashworth laughed, “But of course. You’re a workingmother.” And they were friends again. They laughedabout Mr. O’Greeley, the cop on the corner, who wasbeing assaulted by three dogs on Mrs. Washington'sleash, and at the store, they discussed prices on picklesand bread with the confidence of two congressmen overa bill. They approved of each other’s buys, of eachother's clothing, values, habits, by the end of the day. Butwhen Mrs. Ashworth was gone, Natty sitting in thekitchen and reading through her history suddenly realizedhow fooled she’d been. In one short afternoon, the oldbitch had gotten her to sign the petition, when Nattydidn’t agree at all. She dropped her pencil, and a fewswear words issued forth from her mouth. She vowed toignore her the next time she came around.But Ashworth came around, and Natty was too passive— or polite, or brainwashed — whatever it was shecouldn’t get rid of the woman. The woman had a way ofingratiating herself with Natty, so that to even say shehad to go to the bathroom was rude. Finally, in despera¬tion Natty took to not answering the bell when Ashworthrang. The phone became lethal, and going to the store atnight was the only way to avoid Ashworth.For a while it worked. Ashworth stopped dropping in topay her little visits. The phone rang less, and Natty knewthose unanswered calls must have been Ashworth.Then little bits and pieces started appearing in thenewspaper, a smalltown scandal sheet full of tidbits abouteveryone’s private lives. There was a column calledProfile by someone named Jane Smith, who was ob¬viously cloaked under this nondescript name. Each week,someone’s life story was printed. It was generally agossip column, but often one person was focused on.The town seemed to thrive on this column; Natty openedthe paper one day (she was using it to cover the floorwhile the painters redid the back hall, not reading it) butshe saw her name in that little column.Natty Davenport will insist, if you ask her, thatmothering is not that important to her, but don’tbelieve her one minute, because anyone canclearly see she adores her-Natty skipped ahead. It was informative anyway. She’dnever known that about herself. Maybe because it wasn'ttrue.Mrs. Davenport lacks the kind of communityconsciousness that every responsible human beingought to possess. Plato stated:It gave Natty a good laugh. But the next week, out ofcuriosity she opened it and read:Natty Davenport runs around with a young man bythe name of Henderson Wells.Of course, he was in her history class. They sharednotes, and textbooks. Any suggestion of hanky-pankywas slander. George learned about it while he wasmowing the lawn. Ryan leaned over the fence and said,"So your wife is fooling around on the side, is she?”George didn’t hear correctly at first and said, “Shekeeps busy.” Whatever he thought he had heard, Ryandidn’t know any way that George misunderstood him —well, they were a city couple. Different ideas Ryanpersisted, the idea fascinated him so.“That what you do in the city? Lots of polygamy, eh?”“Eh?" George cupped his hand behind his ear. Ryanstarted to shout, and George turned the mower off. "Isaid, you believe in polygamy?!” Mrs. Crawford was struggling along with cane andpoodle and gasped. George reddened, “See here — ”“You saw that bit about your wife, I'm assuming. Notthat it’s any of my business and I hate to interfere — ”“What bit?”Ryan laughed, “You didn’t see it? About that fellowand her? Caught fooling aroung in some bar. Say, I’msorry. I thought you knew...”George went into the house. Natty was doing her nails.She put down the cuticle pusher and looked at George.“Perhaps I’m wrong. Perhaps I’m overreacting. I oftenget the wrong idea about things, and your indifference isone quality I have tolerated, and although I haven’t beenperfect, well, it just — ” George launched into a bit ofthis, and finally burst out, “Are you faithful?”To tell the truth, she wasn’t But not on account ofHenderson Wells Anybody looking at him could clearlysee his stomach sagged, his glasses slipped, his eye¬brows drooped, his eyelids quivered — he was a sadsight. Natty was an attractive woman; that wasn’t themain thing. The main thing was that she was bored,bored with George and the baby, bored with her life,bored with the women around her. She had, whenGeorge was out. taken up with Red Skeet — a local poetfrom a nearby college town. She’d met him at a poetryreading.Red was a tall, willowy man with a pipe and unb¬rushed. long hair that could never decide which way itwas going to part, so as a sort of compromise, everyother hair went to the right, and the rest either to the leftor up. He wore old wrinkled clothing that seemed to havea life of its own, climbing up his arms, rippling about hisankles and swinging on his shoulders. He never tied hisshoelaces and when he walked they flung out and thenback in again in a kind of whipping motion that amusedNatty highly. She tried to step on them but neversucceeded.“I’ve been faithful to you as far as I can remember. Dothoughts count?” She lied: she even made a joke. Andhe stood there, smelling like gasoline and grass, fumingHe didn’t believe her one second. Not because the localgossip was that convincing; he never paid heed to gossip,but because he had gone so long without confronting herabout it in any way, shape or form — he hadn’t beenaround much, and frankly, had begun to feel quite out oftouch with the "little lady.”So he sat down and smoothed her hair against hercheek, which annoyed her because he would leave it likethat, hanging by her ear, and she would have to push itback into place again. “Dearest, you know I’m onlyasking because I want our relationship to be open. And ofcourse there’s Albert to think about.” Blankly, shethought about Albert, with his blank, expressionless face.The wormy fingers. Suddenly she was tired of it — notjust tired, but disgusted. She was a liar and hated herselffor lying. She suffered by her lying more than George —she submitted herself to this loathsome life.In a rather timely way Ashworth showed up andinvaded the kitchen through the back door. “Yoo-hoo. Isaw the lawnmower and knew I’d catch you in. I’ve beentrying to get in touch with you Natty. You're so elusive.”When she said “so” her voice raised a few octaves,painfully so.Natty groaned. “Do come in.”“I can’t stay long. I just came by to chat about thatcolumn. Everyone in town wants to know who you are.We're all itching with curiosity about this man. Is he quiteinteresting?”Then she blushed, realizing her blunder. Or perhapsthe blush was contrived, as contrived as Natty’s lie to herhusband, as contrived as George's feigned tenderness.They were all such liars they had erased themselves ashuman beings, lost integrity, lost virtue — they neither ofthem existed, and Natty saw the kitchen empty, but withthree souls looking about, bumping into things, wordless.And she broke out laughing at the spectacle Thethought of George, and then of course Ashworth waseven more amusing, with tape across their mouths andtheir bodies bandaged up Why she pictured it she didn’tknow. They were such non-human beings, suchcripples. She laughed, insanely, until the other occupantsin the room looked on with amazement and Ashworthsaid, “What dear is so amusing to you. and how is it thatwe have missed the joke?”All Natty could do was, looking at her half-painted nailsin her lap. she laughedFinally it was decided the marriage was quite over.Albert would reside in George's recently purchasedcondo in Lincoln Park On the weekends he came back tosee Natty, who was. after all, going to move out of thehouse At first she wanted to stay, but once George left,and all kinds of possibilities appeared at her doorstep(along with the daily Trib and the milk, and a stray cat)she wanted to live in the city. Red insisted she live with him, and she decided for thetime being she would. It wasn’t quite in the city, but it wasout of the former atmosphere, and out of Ashworth’srange. Ashworth continued to harrass poor Natty, but lessso, once Natty moved out of her community, and becameof minor importance through the woman’s community-centered eyes. By leaving Natty became, happily, asforeign as a Mexican immigrant.As she was still moving out of the house, Georgewoefully stopped in with Albert gussied up in some Espritoutfit. “He's two fucking years old.” Natty snapped whenshe saw the clothes.George insisted, “Everyone dresses their children likethis nowadays. Why should they be forced to wear thosemilitary danskins and Carter's underwear?” Albert evenhad Calvin Klein underwear. “For Christ’s sake.George.” George bounced Albert on his knee and sanghim a song about a “dirigible” — in fact an “incredibledirigible” until Natty, who was throwing books into a boxsaid, “Cut that out. I can’t think. Why do you sing thepoor kid such mindless stuff?”“What should I sing him, Bob Dylan?” George had totell Natty all about Albert’s food, bowel movements, andfeats of physical prowess. He picked up a glass of orangejuice and drank. He fell on the pavement and scraped hisnose. “Just scraped it?” Natty asked. “Yeah, it grazedthe pavement.”Then George had to know about her new lover. “It’snot Henderson Wells?”Natty laughed.“Why did you lie?” George was bitter. “I was alwayshonest with you.”“I don’t want to talk about it.” She threw her Freud intothe box. “Must you stand there and torment me? Iwanted to see Albert. I have nothing to say to you.”Albert rolled over the floor. George scooped him upmournfully. “I listened to The Brandeburg Concerto andthought of you last night Natty.”“Oh.” She threw in her Stendahl. “You never read halfthose books anyway,” George said, watching her.“George—”“Okay. I’ll leave Albert. I mean, you’re not even payingany attention to him. I thought you wanted to see him—”She took the baby by the armpits and George put his haton. ‘Til be back by five.”“That’s too late. The movers come in an hour.”Albert stared at her and gargled. She adjusted his limegreen Esprit pants and laughed scornfully, “Ridiculousclothing.” She smoothed his hair back. The house wasquiet, and dusty, with sun reflecting specks in the air, likea million gold specks. She sang to Albert, a song shemade up:Oh Weezy, ‘Weezy don’t you cry no morePickin’ cotton, pickin’ cotton by the scoreAlbert's head bobbed lazily and he smiled She bouncedhim. He picked at the button on her coat with a suddenfrown. George came back soon, and took the babywordlessly. Red called The movers, burly, moved it allout of the house, small, white, and picketed, with flowers,and its little share of sun, on this hot day that hit her inthe face and made her stomach turn over with nauseaThe bugs buzzing around in the air in that little, quietnoisy town.JUST SAY "YES!”REGULAR BRUNCH1221 E 57TH ST SUNDAYAT 12:30.

Most giddy of all, though, isthe scene where the naked Dorothy, clinging toan immaculately dressed Jeffrey, moans “Mysecret lover’’ while Sandy, with an equallydistorted face, and her mother watch. Themusic returns to "Mysteries of Love ” For noapparent reason you are reassured that puppylove will be all right.Not all aspects of Frederick Elmes' cine¬matography are quite this brilliant The plotrelies heavily on the dialogue for its develop¬ment. It is insufficiently embedded in the auro-visual images. The images sometimes appearas “mere" appendages, grafted on for effect,and yet it is their quality that makes this movieextraordinary. Some sequences are poorlyconstructed. During intercourse between Doro¬thy and Jeffrey, the image on the screendissolves, as if to prepare for a transition, andthen returns to the same old bed The result,intentional or not, is just irritating Worse, whenJeffrey walks out of the closet (after the “sex”scene between Dorothy and Frank), he iswearing his shorts. There is no way in which hecould have put them on while in hiding. Iffrontal female nudity is so often easily per¬missible with Lynch, you wonder why frontal male nudity is tabooThe end falls a little flat. It is a trifle tooperfect: too many loose threads are picked upand knotted. Mr Beaumont is back on his feet,though appreciably weaker—after all, Jeffreyhas come of age The interchangeable mothersbegin to know each other The pathetic robin,harbinger of love, alights on the window-stillwith the bug in its mouth. Jeffrey and Sandyare there to watch, and the scene barelyescapes Loveboat because prudish Aunt Bar¬bara (Frances Bay) is around to exclaim: “Icould never eat a bug.” Even worse, a healthy-looking Dorothy is shown happily reunited withher child. The scene is contrived, to say theleast, it is only there to reassure you—everyth¬ing turned out all right Almost all the criminals,including the dangerous police chief. Gordon,are dead. And so you can walk away relieved,just from an erotic trance. The only unresolvedthemes are minor: it is not clear what happensto the well-dressed man, and it is not clear ifSandy’s father is really the blameless cop hesometimes seems to be. Not much is left for theimagination. Lynch is no Hitchcock, but you willlike this movie anyway And if your sensibilitiesare as jaded as those of this reviewer you willrevei in it. Its all for art s sake, of course. ForVan Gogh.by Sahotra SarkarAn all-American college kid, Jeffrey Beaum¬ont (Kyle McLahlan), comes back to a smalllumbering town, Lumberton USA, to visit hisailing father. On the way home from a hospitalvisit he pauses to throw stones at a bottle in agarbage dump. In the process he discovers asevered human ear with a tuft of hair attached.He takes this to the police detective who livesnext door—it is a small town, after all—with anubiquitous pretty blonde daughter. Not contentto leave the matter in the hands of the police,he begins his own investigation.The investigation takes Jeffrey into Lum-berton’s sleazy underworld, apparently domi¬nated by the infantile, psychotic, and sadistic,Frank (Dennis Hopper). It also brings him intocontact with a sensuous torch singer, DorothyVallens (Isabella Rossellini), whose repertoireincludes an earthy erotic rendition of “BlueVelvet.” Jeffrey's investigation virtually beginswith Dorothy’s body—the film becomes a movieof growing up, of a boy’s coming of age. Butalong with the development of this carnaladventure comes the flowering of puppylove—Jeffrey and the detective’s daughter,Sandy (Laura Dern), meander along the much-trodden path of inane romance. Only the vio¬lence that arises from the investigation, with itscontinuous underlying eroticism, turns this ro¬mance into a thriller A police chief gets im¬plicated, real murder is committed, and it takesJeffrey all his ingenuity and enterprise toemerge, at least physically, unscathed.The story, then, is simple enough. Thesymbolism is banal, sometimes intentionally so,more often inadvertent. The boy, Jeffrey, has tocome of age. So his father gets temporarilyincapacitated. Dorothy Vallens lives in DeepRiver Apartments. Hiding in Dorthy’s closet/womb, Jeffrey watches “Mommy” and“Daddy" partake in somewhat odd inter¬course—it is carnal/primal knowledge at itsmost heightened. In Sandy's delightfully hack¬neyed dream the problem of evil in this world isfinally resolved when thousands of robins arrivebringing love. At the beginning of the movie, asJeffrey begins his journey into the underworld,he finds bugs crawling around in the severedear. And all is happily over when the robinarnves on the window sill with a conquered bugin its mouth. Let puppy love triumph—all elsebe damned. Dreams come in and out of themovie And you enter them through the ear,down the middle ear, into the deep recesses ofthe mind. Jeffrey is explicit: he was alwaysinvolved in "something that was alwayshidden.”Yet this movie works, partly because DavidLynch’s unabashed superbly-controlled er¬oticism pervades every feature, and partly be¬cause this eroticism gets coupled with hisequally self-conscious and unusual ability athumor. Isabella Rossellini puts on a brilliantperformance as Dorothy Vallens. If Rossellinilacks some of the acting skills of her mother,Ingrid Bergman, she more than makes up for itin her ability to project a compelling sensualitythat becomes the primary focus of Lynch'seroticism. There is a mystery in her appearanceand her low voice as there is mystery in herpast—the husband and the child that Frank hassomehow abducted.In black bras and scanties, blue eye-shadowand red high heels, walking around her fadedapartment—faded like a flash hotel, with signsof fashionable life lingering on—Rossellini is adangerous cross between seductive heroineand damsel-in-distress. She is a far cry from theanemic pin-up girt that dominates the con¬temporary American image. One frame, morethan any other, captures an image that mightalmost sum up the entire movie. Rossellini’slips, now filling half the screen, are openexposing a row of white teeth. One of them isslightly chipped as if some part in her has beendamaged—intentionally damaged—and sub¬sequently lost.Kyle MacLahlan, as Jeffrey Beaumont, has found a part tailor-made for him. His previousappearance in a Lynch film, Dune, left some¬thing to be desired, but in Blue Velvet he playshis role with poise and confidence. Laura Dern,as Sandy, is quietly impressive. She has someexcellent lines—“I don’t know if you're adetective or a pervert”—and grows con¬vincingly as the plot develops, from high schoolsenior to adult, through the experience of theinvestigation which she enjoys, however vicar¬iously. And Dennis Hopper, as Frank, bringsthe demonic energy that transforms the com¬monplace (almost uninspiring) plot into athriller.Lynch’s humor, sometimes macabre, occa¬sionally reassuring, always self-conscious, isboth aural and visual. When Jeffrey and Sandybegin one of their puppy love sequences, adistant organ parodies, even taunts, them Yet.in a high school party, they kiss, and cannotstop kissing, and the same organ, now playing"Mysteries of Love,” becomes strangely reas¬suring. Lynch wrote this song. Angelo Ba-dalamenti the score, and the tune is used in thesame reassuring vein later when Sandy’s faithin Jeffrey becomes sorely shaken. The organ isLynch's special instrument. He used it inEraserhead but nowhere has it been so effec¬tive as in the scene where Sandy recounts herdream of robins and the organ mockinglymimics clucking birds in the distance. Ba-dalamenti achieves something out of the or¬dinary with his score.Visual humor is often introduced by a veryconventional mean: the juxtaposition of con¬trasts. Fred and his thugs slug Jeffrey outside acar. Meanwhile a woman in pink tights climbson top of the car and dances to Roy Orbison’s“In Dreams,” of "the candy-colored clown theycall the sandman." She has a blank expressionon her face, like a dancer at a sex show;Jeffrey, at this time, is getting his face al¬tered—“you’ve had a bad facelift.” The songrefers back to an even more unforgettablescene where Dean Stockwell, as “suave Ben,"does an unforgettable mime of the same song.All action stops: in that scene Stockwell is in aclass by himself. Meanwhile for all his pearlear-ring and effete manner, he is surrounded bya bunch of thugs and grotesque women—thescene could be reproduced, with profit, atMadame Tussaud’s Chamber of Horrors.But the Chamber of Horrors has an evengreater claim on another scene where twobloody dead men continue holding on to stati¬onary positions. One actually keeps standing.Lynch is careful, in these scenes, not tofrighten his audience too much. Expectationbuilds up to the horror. The camera focuses onBLUE VELVETSUCKcontinued from page 1girlfriend when you've caught her in bed withsomeone else Really over the top.

I've been waiting with bated breathGREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10. 1906-71ORESTEIA: AT THE MERCY OF THE COURTby Larth PorssnaThe Oresteia, Aeschylus’ famous trilogy onmurder, revenge and justice, is difficult for mostdirectors, probably because it was not written tobe performed as a monolithic play. The three"acts” differ widely in style: the first, theAgamemnon, though brooding and philosophi¬cal, is essentially an action play. The LibationBearers, on the other hand, is psychologicaland static, its moment of violence incidental tothe internalized hatreds of its characters. Fi¬nally, the Eumemides is ritual transfigured intotheater, actionless debate between the forcesof civilization and violence This progressionfrom action to repose can easily seem anti-climactic to a modern audience and it is a soretemptation to directors to undercut the seri¬ousness of the play by sustaining a uniformlevel of violence throughout. Mr. Rudall is to becommended for resisting this temptation andpresenting each play in a different style. Theevening fails to please, however, because ofpoor acting in some major roles and Mr.Rudall’s refusal to trust his own ideasThe Agamemnon opens promisingly. Theaudience sits in the dark, listening to the soundof the waves, and watching a motionlesswatchman sit on the walls of Mycenae. Thewatchman sits and sits, so does the audience.Both watchman and audience grows restless.Finally, when everyone is thoroughly exas¬perated. the watchman begins his speech, thatmost famous of speeches in all Greek tragedy,complaining of his ten years of fruitless waiting.This alienating gesture is brilliant and daring,distancing the audience from the real world,projecting them into the world of the play, andpreparing them for the bizzare and horribletragedy to come.The introduction of the chorus is similarlyeffective. Dimly projected through a scrim,three old men, robed in white and leaningmotionless on bare branches, lament antipho-nally the woes of war and Argos, and their ownimpotence Mysterious ghosts appear asneeded to dramatize the narration. The audi¬ence feels privileged to share in this remoteworld of great beauty and dignity.Unfortunately these magical moments arenot sustained. Mr. Rudall seems afraid lest hisquasi-Japanese approach lose his audience,and he rapidly lowers his tone to the uninspiredmonotony which is the usual trademark of hisproductions. There is too much shouting (Whydo directors believe that shouting heightensemotional tension?), too much rolling on theground, too many passionate embraces, toomany stamped feet and. as always at the Court,too much bad acting. The dignity of the openingdisappears in a welter of amateurish conceits. Casting Deanna Dunagan as Clytemnestra isparticularly unfortunate. Neither menacing norregal, she comes across as a rather shrewishNew York housewife. Her comic book costumeand gestures bear an unfortunate resemblanceto those of Wonder Woman. Sitting through herdestruction of Aeschylus’ speeches is unen¬durable. Kenneth Northcott makes an un¬convincing herald, a devotee of the stomp andshout school of acting. He knows nothing of thesorrow of war. Only the robotHke gestures anddelivery of John Resenhouse’s Agamemnon,who seems truly inhuman in his fantastic btrd-like armour, and the moving stylized laments ofIngrid Blekys’ Cassanda, successfully retainthat initial feeling of control.The Libation Bearers is the least successfulof the three "acts.' While its abstraction maycan for a more active presentation. CourtTheatre histrionics help very little The audi¬ence snickers as Orestes strips off his shirt andrubs himself with dirt from his father’s grave.The pointlessly offensive scene where Ae-gisthus "feels up’’ a serving girl provokeshoots. Once again, the acting of the centralcharacters is very weak. Deanna Dunagan findsher match in Ann Dowd, who plays Electra as amean spirited, self pitying snit, a spoiled littlegrrl lisping out "revenge! revenge!” Is would bea mercy to Ms. Dowd if she were spared heroicparts in the future Without a convincing Elec-tra, the whole act falls apart, for John Resen¬house’s cold Orestes is essentially passive,driven by the oracle of Apollo and, unbelieva¬bly, by Electra By himself, he cannot make theact interesting. This is too bad, for the chorus oflibation bearers is both elegant and graceful,working beautifully as an ensemble and DeniseHuot, as Orestes' bawdy old nurse Cilissa. isboth comic and touchingFor the Eumenides. Mr Rudall finds anotherfine conceit His furies are shapeless, manylimbed creatures a sort of Pilobolus wrapped inknit sheets, at one moment drawn into acompact lump, at another displaying shadowsof arms, legs and faces. Their speeches arehandled off phrase by phrase with an occa¬sional ensemble. If they shouted less theywould truly be creatures of nightmare. Evenmore successful are the gods, played as Eliza¬bethan maskers and delivering their lines, albeita bit stiffly, with correct gestures and scansion.(Indeed the whole of the Oresteia staged as amask would be fascinating. Mr. Rudall would dowell to consider using the technique in some ofhis future productions.) Lisa Tejero as Athenagives the best performance I have seen at theCourt. Her grace and utter conviction of deliv¬ery are tremendously moving and make thedebate between revenge and law riveting to watch. Unfortunately the evening ends on aridiculous note, as the furies, newly converted,to guardian spirits, undress to be newly robedin white. The sight of four unappealing nakedbodies after so much dignified passion, ruinsthe whole act and makes he audience wonderuneasily, “Was Mr. Rudall sneering at us all thetime?" % mLinda Buchanan is responsible for both theset and the costumes. The multi-levelled palaceof Mycenae is a triumph, recalling the forms otthe Lion Gate, while preserving the simplicity ofthe Noh stage. The costumes are attractive andappropriately timeless. The armour of Ag¬amemnon and the metallic costume of Athenaare particularly lovely The few props are mostun-Greek but. except for a small concreteobject vaguely resembling a Herm, well attunedto the prevailing Japanese elegance. The lighting by Rita Pretreszek is generallyfine, though projected commercial greenChinese dragons and red eagles caught in nets,are both painfully obvious and very ugly.The percussion while impeccable in timing istoo loud and superfluous.The new translation by Oavid Grene andWendy O’Flaherty, though it seems to skimp onthe Libations Bearers and Eumenides, is su¬perb: lively, poetic and convincing, neitheruncomfortably colloquial nor unnecessarilyhighflown. It is a perfect example of a classicrendered aliveWith so much in its favor, it is a pity that onecannot recommend the production overall.However, the better than usual mix of actorsand the new maturity of Mr Rudall as a directorare promising signs. One hopes that soon, theCourt wfR be a theater to be proud of.The Orestia by Aeschylus, directed by Nich¬olas Rudall is playing at the Court Theatrethrough November 2.K EMBARK LIQUORS & WINE SHOPPE1214 East 53rd Street*In Kimfeark Plaza SALE OATES10/2 tfw 10/8/S6493-3355BUDWEISER.

Football. Women's football.Quite literally. Or futbol. Or soccer, aswe call it here. Women s varsitysoccer is finally a reality. As theseason gets under way amid muchrain, mud, and mushy grass, twenty-two fanatical women soccer playerstrudge daily to Washington Park topractice. (If you saw any World Cupaction at all, you know what fanaticalmeans.) Who has been chosen to leadthis gutsy crew through the pitfalls ofa new season? Upon whom falls thehonor of braving the wilds of Wash¬ington Park to instruct and nurtureour rising stars? Meet Janet Napoli.“We’ve all been trainedto be nice... Soccer isjust the sport to teachwomen that they canhit hard and enjoythemselves withouttaking this athleticconflict personally.”—Coach NapoliJanet Napoli first entered soccer in1975 when she co-founded the Home-wood-Flossmoor Soccer Club withBarry DeSilva (the Men’s VarsitySoccer Coach here). Her son played onthis team. Coach for four years of thevarsity girls' team at Homewood-Flossmoor High School, she alsofounded a park district league for girlsin that area. In addition, she coached the Wilco Region Team for the pres¬tigious Prairie State Games. Janet hasher master's degree in physical ed¬ucation with a specialty in therapeuticmanagement. She is an employee ofCardonlet Rehabilitation Centers ofAmerica and currently works as arehabilitation coordination consultantat St. Margaret's Hospital in Ham¬mond, Indiana.This is Coach Napoli’s first experi¬ence at the collegiate level. She findsthe motivation encouraging and thematurity greater at the collegiatelevel than with previous teams. Aswith any new team, the skill level isvaried and cohesiveness is needed.Coach Napoli has done most of herwork with new>teams so she is used tothe demands of initiating a program.She feels that the varsity expectationand commitment here is a reflectionof the University of Chicago student'scommitment to be the best. A coach'stask is to carry this individual innercommitment to excellence on to theteam level.When asked about the difficulties ofintegrating former field hockeyplayers into the soccer program.Coach Napoli was positive: “Thegreat thing is that all the women haverespect for each other's athleticism.'’The field hockey players have broughtwith them an understanding of fieldposition, defensive mechanics, and acompetitive spirit. Coach Napolipoints out that some field hockeyplayers have good field position withlesser skills, while some soccerplayers have good skills without goodfield position.Coach Napoli speaks enthusiastic¬ally of the women's soccer programfor the future. Because of the changein conference next year she intendscompetition within the team to bedifferent.

During this season, thusfar, there has been no competitionwithin the team for positions. Rather,positions have been assigned. Nextyear, however, individuals will try outfor positions by challenging the in¬cumbent starters. Coach Napoli hastried to maintain a relaxed environ¬ment for the new women’s soccerprogram while emphasizing the pri¬mary goal—unity. Next year she an¬ticipates an increasingly competitivetone. Coach Napoli feels that thewomen’s skills are behind those ofother teams in the conference, butadds that a few months of indoorsoccer in the off-season will remedythis situation for next year. Fur¬thermore, Coach Napoli hopes that theteam will begin to practice together earlier next year. This season theteam was only able to practice 5 daysbefore its first game.The team has suffered three lossesthis season but Coach Napoli is notdisappointed. She is pleased with thetalent and personality of the team. Sheemphasizes the need to be patient andkeep spirits high. The first loss was toKalamazoo College (9-0). Coach Nap¬oli points out that they are close to, ifnot in, the top 20, and have playedtogether many years. “It was a toughfirst game but we held our own. Thesecond loss to Notre Dame (5-0) re¬vealed a lot of team progress. In thesecond half (during which only onegoal was scored), Chicago womenplayed a good game of soccer.

The onlyscoring the Maroons could musterwere 37- and 50-yard field goals bykicking specialist Jim Bonebrake.“I didn’t even hit the fifty-yarderwell... I hit the ground before the balland I don't know how it made itthrough.” said Bonebrake. “The 37-yarder I hit much better; it mighthave gone 60.”Maroon quarterback Matt Schaeferwent 13-30 for 132 yards and 3 inter¬ceptions. Eric Smith led the receivingcorp with 5 grabs for 72 yards. Unfor¬ tunately, the Maroon running gamewas nonexistent. Chicago rushed for anet -25 yards for a total net yard figureof 107 compared to 251 yards forMonmouth.Dave Baker led the defense with 5unassisted tackles and assisted in 14others for a total of 19 tackles. TedRepass was close behind with 17.

MillerStaff WriterAs this season of Sundays pro¬gresses, the Bears are again perfect,owners of a tidy 5-0 record. It is nosecret why this is so: their kicker is ontarget again, their defense is as agg¬ressive as ever, and Payton is stillsweet. Nothing more needs mention¬ing. That guy with the glasses and theheadband, he’s not really important, ishe? Think again.Under all the miscellaneous head-gear, quarterback Jim McMahon isthe leader of the Chicago Bears. Notjust in joke-playing and headbutting,but in bringing this football team tovictory. His statistics do not matchthose of the great Payton, who hasaccumulated the best in his depart¬ment. His numbers do not resemblethe frightening ones that his team'sdefense proudly flaunts. Take a closelook at the games, though, and youwill notice other things as well. Whenhis team needs a score, McMahondirects a scoring drive; when his teamneeds a first down, he manages itsomehow; and when his team needs alift, he provides the needed push. He iswhat coaches call a gamer, in that hedoes what it takes to win.The legendary Red Smith once de¬scribed Joe Gordon, the great secondbaseman of the Yankees, as a gamer.One particular anecdote which thewriter used in demonstrating Gordon'sstyle of play comes to memory now. The story goes like this: One day JoeMcCarthy, the Yankee manager, wastalking to some reporters whenGordon’s name came up Immediatelythe manager exclaimed aloud. “I’lltake Gordon’s kind of baseball, and I’llshow you why.” He yelled for hissecond baseman to come over. “HeyJoe”, he asked, “what are you hittingnow?” “I don't know”, Joe said.“What's your fielding average”,McCarthy said. “How the hell would Iknow?”, Joe said. “See what I mean”,McCarthy said plainly to the report¬ers, “all he does is try to beat you.”Which is precisely what McMahontries to do. Of course, everybody in theworld knows that that is not all heactually does. He also does cranialadvertising, helmet-rubbing, and ex¬cessive rolling of his shirt sleeves. Hedoes all this, though, because to himfootball is still a game as well as abusiness. He feels entitled to his shareof fun. Just ask Phil Rizzuto. whosetoes are probably still smoldering upin the Bronx. The Bears’ quarterbackis not always serious, but this is notunprecedented.Jim McMahon will do many thingsduring the course of a season. He willmake fun of somebody important, hewill rub helmets with a few big people,and he will make mistakes and throwinterceptions. Never forget, though,that invariably he will do somethingelse, and that is he will beat you.Learn how to walkA Rockport representativewill be here on Sunday,October 12th, from 11 am to4 pm, to show the latestRockport line and to explainthe benefits of walking: howwalking is aerobic, improvescirculation, relieves stress,reduces fat. and is a safe,injury free exercise.At the forefront of thewalking revolution, Rockportsponsors ongoing research toexplore the health benefits ofwalking.

Mary Jean Mulvaney,her cohorts in Bartlett Gymnasium,and or student athletes are the grate¬ful recipients of some unprecedentedUniversity generosity.The change to the U.A.A. is achange for the best. Playing teams inseven major cities will help in therecruitment of athletes and it will helpin gaining exposure for the Universityof Chicago, which in turn should aid inattracting students. Already the con¬ference has been written up in“Newsweek” and it will gain morenational publicity.It is not that the schools are biggeror better in the U.A.A. than our pre¬sent foes in the Midwest Athletic Con¬ference The main difference is theU A A. schools are bigger names, inbigger cities Beloit, Ripon, and Grin-nel are going to be replaced by JohnsHopkins. New York University, andMIT The competition should be aboutthe same, but the dividends will bemuch higher.And what does this change mean forour athletes9 Well... air travel, play¬ing in cities that have more than one motel, and recognition beyond an oc¬casional two sentence paragraph inthe Chicago Tribune.Two of the major complaints againstthe U.A.A. are that the increasedtravel time will take away from the,oh, so valuable study time, and thatall this travel will be costly for aschool with a small athletic budget. Asfor the first complaint, there will be nolost study time, and if anything, traveltime should be less. A five hour bustrip to Appleton, Wisconsin is longerthan a two hour plane trip to Boston.So those of you who toss and turn atnight worrying if our volleyball teamwill have enough time to read theirPlato on their way to St. Louis canrest soundly.The second major complaint aboutthe money is more tricky. The historyof the Athletic Department has beenone of insufficient funding. Promisingcoaches and assistant coaches haveleft Chicago for greener pastures andfatter paychecks. Instead of providingmoney to keep these coaches and toreward our proven coaches with alittle increased funding over the years,the University has decided to give theAthletic Department its money in onelump sum. for immediate use in theU.A.A. It’s like the rich parents whoreward their child’s 1.6th birthday witha new car, except this cai has writtenon its side in big maroon letters, “TheUniversity of Chicago.”The University Athletic Associationis a commitment to preserving theideal of the student-athlete, but theUniversity’s unprecedented generosityappears to be nothing more than anindiscreet advertising campaign.FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAYTSVOLLEYBALLVS LAWRENCEHOME H.00PMW SOCCERVS RIPONHOME 4:00PM 1 1FOOTBALLVS LAWRENCEHOME 2:00PMVOLLEYBALLVS ST.

He wasquick but we more or less shut downhis passing game with a good passrush and some excellent coverage inthe secondary.”The Scots opened the scoring with3:11 remaining in the first quarter ona 1 yard run by Ted Lawson. The runcapped a quarter of short drives andpunts where both teams missedchances to capitalize. Reed missed thePAT and Monmouth led 6-0 going intothe second quarter.After a Chicago drive stalled atMonmouth’s 33-yard line, Coach Ew¬ing called on Bonebrake to attempt a 50-yard field goal. He converted and 8minutes later he nailed a 37-yarder totie the game 6-6 at the half.The second half belonged to Mon¬mouth with touchdowns in the thirdand fourth quarters. Tim Maher ran infrom nine yards out with 6:46 remain¬ing in the third quarter. Reed finishedoff the scoring in the final quarterwith a 21-yard scoring strike to JeffNelson for a final score of 20-6.Senior receiver John Burrill com¬mented, “We were very flat in thesecond half.

Soccercontinued from page 20far was to Beloit (4-1). The score wasvery respectable. The team was toughduring the second half and “the scoreshould have been 2-2.”When asked about future competi¬tion Coach Napoli states that it willonly get tougher. “It’s necessary forthe team to always move forward,always progress using the conceptslearned in practice. It is importantthat we don’t get frustrated.” CoachNapoli predicts that St. Norbert’s andLake Forest will be the two top teamsin the conference. The University ofChicago is the newest team in theconference.Coach Napoli anticipated less talentand has been pleasantly surprisedwith the depth of the soccer back¬ground of some of the players. Theteam needs to work on discipline andpatience. Coach Napoli hopes thatplayers will realize the “importance ofoff-ball play, and gain patience withthemselves and their teammates.” Inpractice the team will be learning toplay together through drills aimed atthe perfection of one-touch passing,ball movement, and better control. Coach Napoli is very pleased to behere and considers the position “one ofthe greatest challenges of my profes¬sional career.” She is encouraged bythe accepting attitude of the studentstoward herself and each other. “Thewomen demonstrate warmth andcommitment not just to soccer but towomen in other sports.”Coach Napoli has been committed towomen in sports since 1964. Shecomments, “A recent study shows thatone reason women have trouble com¬peting in business is because theyhave not competed in sports.” CoachNapoli believes that concepts of self-worth are learned in team sportswhere every member is valuable tothe team.

Convertible v* ithrai.-ed I (.1) screenThe Chicago Maroon—Friday, October 10.1986—25EDITORIALThe dust is dissipating after the rush to find housing for this year’sfreshman class, which is larger than ever. U of C administrators settleback, secure in the belief that they have successfully discharged all oftheir responsibilities to students.But our staff would like to remind the University about a rathersubstantial group which they have largely ignored in the great U of CHousing Rush of 1986. What about the graduate students?The University is following a policy which appears to make goodbusiness sense. It is recruiting more undergraduates than ever beforefor each entering class and is packing them to capacity into Universityhousing. This is supposedly a smart policy for two reasons. In the firstplace, undergraduate tuition, housing, and board payments pour moneyinto University coffers. Secondly, if undergraduates are all housed on ornear campus, Mom and Pop back home are kept happy in theknowledge that even though little Susie or Bobbie must live in awful,dangerous Hyde Park their darlings are being housed under theUniversity’s protective wing.We hate to shatter this vision of pastoral serenity, but we are forcedto ask whether the University can continue to attract top graduatestudents if its administrators are not willing to put more time andfunding into constructing safe, comfortable graduate housing.The most striking illustration of the graduate housing shortage is thefact that this year the University had to place first year grads in 20apartments at Regent’s Park Apartments and 13 in the Madison ParkApartments. These new grads would have been offered space inBroadview residence hall, the International House, or in University-owned apart ments but, with the huge influx of freshmen, the Universitydecided that it needed the space for undergraduates instead. It is truethat Regent’s Park and Madison Park are far from shabby as HydePark dwellings go, but this last minute patch up is just that. It is not apermanent solution.This stop-gap measure is expensive both for the University and thestudents. Each grad is paying $400 a month, which is what the twoapartment complexes are charging the University. In addition, the U ofC was forced to buy furniture for these apartments, a cost the housingoffice is “absorbing.”The University must recognize the fact that not all graduate studentscan live far from campus in private housing. First year graduatestudents may have no idea of which local neighborhoods are safe.Foreign students may not want to haggle with American realtors to findhousing.Many grads do not own cars and can not drive to campus anytimethat they wish. The University does provide some bus services, butthere are charges for daytime bus transportation. Waiting for a bus inthe cold is not pleasant, and not everyone views a 30 minute walk toENVIRONMENTALISTS - JOIN THE OCT. 25 MARCHUSE BOTH FISTS TO WIN: ECOLOGY & SOCIAL JUSTICE• End U.S. nuclear and Star War threats — using our planetas a bargaining chip!• Against despoiliation of Central America.

Graduate students need the peace ofmind which comes from knowing that they have a close, safe place towhich they can return each night. Otherwise, all of the undergraduatetuition money the adminstration can muster will do no good.
