MillerStaff WriterIllinois has raised over 8.5million dollars as an in¬centive in hopes of convinc¬ing the federal governmentto build in the state, theworld’s largest particle ac¬celerator, referred to as theSSC.If built, the Super¬conducting Super Collider(SSC) will have a 52-milecircumference, making itmore than ten times largerthan the largest now in ex¬istence and nearly threetimes bigger than the one theSoviet Union now has underconstruction. Knowing thatthe Soviets expected com¬pletion of their acceleratorby 1993, the U.S. Departmentof Energy originally rec¬ommended building the SSChere in 1983. The ReaganAdministration is expected to decide by January whetherto spend an estimated fourbillion dollars on the project.The U of C is eagerlyawaiting this decision be¬cause Illinois seems the log¬ical site for the SSC. If Il¬linois is chosen, the ac¬celerator will be built nearFermilab and connected tothe existing Tevatron ac¬celerator. As U of C Vice-President for ResearchWalter Massey said, “Theclose proximity of such a re¬source will give our stronggroup of high-energy physicsresearchers great op¬portunities” to utilize infor¬mation gained from thelargest accelerator in theworld.in this field haveThe potential for new dis¬coveries in high-energyphysics and world competi¬tion in this field haveprompted the need for con-continued on page eight Bv Paul OkelStaff WriterThe Board of Trustees ofthe new University of Chic¬ago Hospitals Corporationchose Ralph W.

The Universityof Chicago Hospitals wereincorporated as an entityseparate from the Universityof Chicago October 1. Mullerwas elected president at theboard’s first meeting.Muller remarked, “TheUniversity of Chicago Hospi¬tals were established in 1927as a wholly integrated partof the Division of the Biolog¬ical Sciences. Separating thehospitals from the divisionand the School of Medicine istruly a major change, be¬cause for 60 years the hospi¬tals were very closely linkedto the School of Medicine,more so than at other in¬stitutions.”Muller added, “We shouldtherefore be aware that re¬moving the hospitals fromBy Matthew NickersonAssociate EditorLast Friday's front-pagearticle, “Budget crunch hitslibraries,” described thebudget cuts at the UniversityLibraries and the resultingelimination of 50 full-timepositions.

Smith, theRobert 0. Anderson Distin¬guished Service Professor inthe Humanities.The winners, who werepresent with their awards atlast spring’s Convocation (June 14, 1986), were desig¬nated by President Hanna H.Gray on the recommendationof Donald N. Levine, dean ofthe College, and Norman M.Bradburn, provost. The Deanand the Provost choose thewinners with the assistanceJonathan Z. Smith of a committee appointed bythe Dean to read and eval¬uate letters of recommend¬ation that are sent in by stu¬dents.Bradburn said the choiceof the recipients is a “cum¬ulative process” — files ofrecommendations fromprevious years as well asreviews in the course eval¬uation book may be takeninto account. However,Bradburn further stated thatthe current year’s letters arethe most important factor —“sometimes one recom¬mendation may be so com¬pelling” that it results in thepresentation of a Quantrell.He feels that the “eloquenceand tellingness” of a rec¬ommendation and the “de¬gree to which students testifyto a teacher’s brilliance” arethe major factors in the decision-making process.Neither Levine nor Brad¬burn could pinpoint any par¬ticular characteristic whichwinners of the Quantrellsseem to have in common.Levine remarked that one ofthe “striking things” he hadobserved was the “numberof different ways in whichpeople can be outstandingteachers.” Bradburn agreed,stating that the types ofqualities students praised inthe teachers were “highlyvariable.” Sometimes a rec¬ommendation may simplylaud a teacher's excellentdemonstration and presen¬tation of material, while inanother case a student mayrecognize a teacher’s “in¬spirational love of the sub¬ject matter.”The Quantrell Award,which was first presented in 1938. is believed to be thenation's oldest prize for un¬dergraduate teaching. Orig¬inally only one award wasgiven each year; now, how¬ever, the University gener¬ally tries to award oneQuantrell in each of the Col¬legiate divisions.

A premiere ofthe film, “Something Wild,” and agala reception highlighted the event.The 500-seat cinema features 35-mmprojection equipment and Dolbystereo sound, according to ErikLieber, president of DOC films. Lieberalso exclaimed, “It’s gorgeous! It’sbeautiful!” and challenged movi¬egoers to “compare this to Quantrell.”Hanna H. Gray, president of theUniversity, said “It’s a fine addition tothe University,” noting that the Palevsky Cinema is the first “realfilm theater” the University has everhad. She added that “it’s wonderful tohave a proper space for movies on thispart of campus, and it’s a great audi¬torium for other events as well.”Claude Pagacz, the builder incharge of construction of the PalevskyCinema, noted, “If it turns our aswe’ve planned, we think the Univer¬sity community will be very pleasedwith it.” Pagacz also noted that thecinema entirely replaced the IdaNoyes gymnasium and that the con¬struction work was challenging.All those who were asked thoughtthe cinema was attractive; however,some questioned whether it wasVolunteer : a continuing successBy Barb White and Lisa DharContributinq WritersThe Student Government-sponsoredVolunteer Week of October 13-17 at¬tracted over two hundred Universityof Chicago students.

Mr. Nakagawa,a 24-year-old PhD candidate inEconomics, died last Friday ofwhat the medical examiner called“massive internal injuries.” Anongoing Chicago Police in¬vestigation has ruled out assault asa possible cause of death. Mr.Nakagawa, who resided in Inter¬national House, is survived by fam¬ily members in Osaka, Japan. Blue Gargoyle was responsible forpersonally contacting each of the stu¬dents who signed up at the differenttables on campus. According to Al¬lison Holmes of the Blue Gargoyle,only thirty percent of the two hundredstudents who displayed interest involunteering expressed a sense ofgenuine commitment. Despite this lownumber, both Student Governmentand Holmes were encouraged by theinterest and awareness of the studentbody. “Things are changing on thiscampus and I really hope they’re hereto stay,” stated Alison Inafuku, vice-president of Student Government.With the hope of continuing themomentum created by Student Gov¬ernment Volunteer Week, Dean NancyMaull and President Hanna Gray willfinalize their plans to establish twoannual awqrds of $500 each to be givento outstanding and dedicated studentvolunteers.

Icould have handled it better. Nobodywas told (about the resignation)properly.’’ he admitted. He said hehad agreed verbally to be manager forthe whole year.Jaffee emphasized that his inter¬ obesity.Bray opened his lecture by explain¬ing his choice of title. He stated, “Thetitle is catchy but conveys the mes¬sage I want to get across, that cor¬pulence is a growing problem, es¬pecially in the United States.’’ Braysupported this statement by showingthat the United States has markedlymore obese people than either Aust¬ralia or the United Kingdom. He alsonship plans materialized quickly. Hesaid he applied for the internship Oct.13, was offered and accepted the jobOct. 15, told Ricketts of his acceptanceOct. 16, and told McDade Oct. 18.Ricketts noted, however, that Jaffeetold him the first week of the quarter(Sept. 28 - Oct. 4) that Jaffee wouldtake the internship if he were offeredit.“I was disappointed, but he had agood job offer. I'm disappointed thathe took so long to tell me,” saidMcDade.To ease the managerial transition,Jaffee is now working behind thecounter at Ex Libris without beingpaid.Ricketts, a fourth-year economicsmajor, has worked at Ex Libris sincehis first year. He was appointed as¬sistant manager this year, meaning he stated that “13 million men and 19million women in the US are consid¬ered overweight.”Bray explained that there are twosets of factors which influence ourweight: environmental and genetic.The environmental factors include, ofcourse, how much food we eat. Braystated that “men consume about 1million calories per year and womenabout 34 of a million calories perwas also to run SG’s Crerar coffeeshop.Chris Koomey, formerly a coffeeshop attendant, is now Ex Libris as¬sistant manager and Crerar manager.McDade said Ricketts “has put a lotof hours into the job. He’s very con¬scientious. “He’ll do a great job be¬cause he wants to do a great job,”commented Jaffee.Ricketts said that although he has tolearn how to keep the shops' books, hethinks he has adjusted to his newposition as manager smoothly.Ricketts added that the absence ofsome usual products during the thirdweek of the quarter was due to supplyproblems which existed- before themanagerial switch.Ex Libris has discontinued Saturdayservice and changed the Sunday open¬ing time from noon to 4 p.m. to econ¬omize, according to Ricketts. to obesityyear.” He explained that althoughmost people use all the calories theyconsume, “even a 1% error can causea significant weight gain.”According to Bray, we can controlhow many calories we eat and expend,but there are other environmentalfactors which we cannot control.These include certain viral infections,chemical imbalances, and infectiousdiseases. These conditions can some¬times be treated and corrected, butthe state of the hypothalamus iscrucial. If this important gland is se¬verely damaged, the nervous systemis disrupted, food intake increases,and the person becomes overweight.But Bray added that “when the hypothalamus is destroyed increasedfood intake does not always occur butobesity will still follow.”The genetic factors of obesity arethe subject of current inquiries andthere have been several recent papersin the New England Journal of Medi¬cine. Bray presented the resultsdrawn in a few of these papers al¬though he did not find any of themconclusive. The most popular methodof studying the genetic factors of obe¬sity is to observe identical twinsraised in different environments.Bray concluded his lecture by an¬swering the question he had startedwith. He asked, “is corpulence catch¬ing? Yes, I think it is.

Theother site at Dorchester and 57th iscurrently in the planning stages.According to Vice-President forUniversity News and Community Af¬fairs Jonathan Kleinbard, the Univer¬sity initially received approval for aplan .to build four houses at thesouthwest Dorchester site, but is cur¬rently seeking approval for one of tworevised plans. One, which seems un¬likely to be approved, was presentedby a medical school staff member, Dr,Bennet Leventhal, who intended topurchase the land from the Universityfor $60,000 in May of this year andbuild a single house there.The city housing department and theAnti-gay stickers cover Hyde ParkBy Larrv PeskinStaff writerTwice this month Hyde Parkershave witnessed numerous bright or¬ange stickers reading “Clean up HydePark/Stop AIDS: Castrate gays”plastered throughout their neigh¬borhood.The first wave of stickers appearedover the first weekend of the month.Stickers were plastered mainly inareas near 54th Street between Wood-lawn and Ellis Avenues. This narrowdistribution pattern led Irwin Keller,head of the Law School Gay and Les¬bian Alliance (GALA), to suspect thatonly one person was responsible.The second wave, which appearedduring the third weekend of themonth, was much more extensive.GALA members removed stickersfrom locations at Ida Noyes Hall,Robie House and the AdministrationBuilding.An article and editorial in the Oc¬tober 9 issue of the Windy City Times,a bi-weekly newspaper geared toChicago’s homosexual population,implied that the Midway Review, aconservative campus newspaper, wasin some way responsible for the cam¬paign. but Keller doubts the paper was involved. He did however conjecturethat the stickers were put up by"people who share the views of theMidway Review .”Midway Review editor John Hey.commenting on the sticker campaignsaid. “I find it vile and disgusting.They didn’t represent my position orthe position of other conservatives inthe area. The only effect they couldhave is to alienate people from thereaffirmation of traditional moral¬ities.” He further noted that similarsorts of campaigns took place in NaziGermany and continue to take placetoday in communist countries.Keller confirmed rumors that post¬ers appeared in Hyde Park urging thegay community to boycott advertisersin the Midway Review in the wake ofthe sticker campaign, but he assertedthat GALA was not responsible forthem. He added that he urges othersto remove such posters. He explained,“It’s wrong to start a boycott beforeyou give tie advertisers a chance todiscontinue their ads.” He furtherclaims that GALA has persuaded twoof the Midway Review’s advertisers.University Travel and The ShoeCorral, to pull their ads as a result of aletter-writing campaign. Hyde Park-Kenwood ConservationCommunity Council (CCC), however,expressed some disagreement aboutthe plan, and, in keeping with theUniversity's agreement with the city(which requires it to obtain approvalfrom the immediate neighbors, theCCC, and the city housing depart¬ment), the University has begun ne¬gotiations on a third set of plans.The third plan would provide for theconstruction of two single familyhouses on the site. Currently the Uni¬versity is discussing the plan with theneighboring residents to obtain theirapproval before presenting it to thedoc.Plans for the Stony Island Avenuesite are still in the early stages.Kleinbard said the University was“reviewing a number of options forresidential use of that property.” He.went on to add that one possible planwould provide for the construction of alow-rise apartment building. TheUniversity is required only to havecompleted plans for this site by theMarch 30 deadline.When questioned concerning thepossible consequences should theUniversity fail to meet the deadlinefor either of the two sites. Kleinbardsaid the University did. not plan onthat happening. However, he did ad¬ mit that if the deadline were not met'the city might reclaim the land andreturn the University’s purchaseprice. The University would also havethe option of applying for another ex¬tension.Once construction on the two sites iscompleted the housing available willbe for faculty and staff of the Univer¬sity, not for students. Kleinbard statedthat the student housing crunch hadbeen resolved and the present needwas for faculty and staff housing.Financially, Kleinbard said, theUniversity does not stand to gain anymoney on the properties, though hewould not say whether the Universitywould lose money. It does seem clearthat if the deadline is not met and thecity chose to reclaim the property thecity would definitely lose the cost ofplanning and development alreadycompleted.The third site, on which constructionhas already begun, will include ninefaculty townhouses which will sell forapproximately $300,000 each. TheUniversity had initially gained ap¬proval on a different set of plans,which were then found to be in¬adequate. The resulting modificationsdid not garner approval and so werescrapped in favor of the plans nowunder construction.Student Government reporting.

As SSC for Illinois DirectorBarbara Chasnoff explained,the use of Tevatron as “aninjector into the larger ringwill cut the cost of the SSCby xk million dollars.” Prot¬ons can be injected from theTevatron ring directly intothe SSC ring. Other advan¬tages Illinois holds include/the sound geological and en¬vironmental conditions of theproposed site, the proximity of culturally resourcefulChicago, and the nearness ofrenowned universities andresearch institutions like theU of C. Since the federalgovernment chose to buildFermilab in Illinois before,many think it will turn againto this state.If and when it is built, theSSC will provide importantinformation about the forcesof the universe..WINDOW TO AFRICA1703 E. 55th St.What if you don’t getinto the grad schoolof your choice?Of course, you may get intoanother school, but why settle0Prepare for the LSAT, GMAT,GRE, MCAT or other graduateexams with Stanley H, Kaplan.Why go to just any grad schoolwhen you can go tothe right one?KAPLANSiANlf Y H.

Although this analogy well depicts mili¬tary “escalation,” parallels between the currentsituation in Nicaragua and two sets of eventsmarking anniversaries this year draw out moredetails of what is happening — and what couldhappen — in Central America.Fifty years ago, the military forces of Spain,organized by Gen. Francisco Franco, began thethree-year civil war against the Republicangovernment of the country. Twenty-five yearsago, the US supported an invasion of Cuba byanti-Castro emigres. Today, the Nicaraguansituation resembles, in different ways, eachhistorical example.The Spanish Republic was formed in 1931 bya “bloodless revolution.” Resentment of au^thoritarianism and the monarchy brought themajority of Spaniards voting in municipal elec¬tions to support republicanism. Alfonso XIII andhis military government were swept aside infavor of a democratic constitution.The new Republican government — drawingsupport from bourgeois democrats, dissidentethnic groups (especially the Catalans), andeventually democratic Socialists, anarcho-syndicalists and Communists — set about thedeconstruction of traditional, near-feudal Spain.Serious curbs on the Church were emplaced;large landholdings were nationalized; the aris¬tocracy and the military were severely limited.Such extensive social and political changeengendered the opposition of the former rulingclasses, especially the military. After a liberal-progressive government including syndicalistsand Communists came to power in 1936, Gen.Franco began open warfare against the Re¬public. Conservative and reactionary forceswhich had been reduced by the Republicanactions rallied to the counter-revolution, the so-called “Nationalists.”Internationally, the Nationalists drew supportfrom other reactionary regimes: Nazi Germanyand Fascist Italy. The Soviet Union providedsome help and moral support to the Republic¬ans. French and British diplomacy worked onlyto prevent the war from becoming a generalEuropean conflict.The Spanish Civil War became a criticalcause for leftists around the world. Some40,000-60,000 individuals fought in the "inter¬national brigades” recruited from North andSouth America as well as Europe and theSoviet Union. The Abraham Lincoln Brigadewas composed of some 3,000 North Americans,1400 of whom died. The Lincoln Brigade re¬mains a rallying point for American Commun¬ists and other leftists.By the time the war ended in 1939, however,the Fascists had virtually conquered the nation. \Hundreds of thousands of Spanish families —both Right and Left — mourned their dead.Spain was devastated and was locked intoFascist rule for more than 35 years followingthe end of the civil war.Fidel Castro came to power in Cuba in 1959,following three years of guerrilla warfareagainst the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista.Like the Republican Gov’t in Spain, Castro’snew government set about the social andpolitical modernization of the country. Nation¬alization of foreign-owned (largely U.S.) corporations and land reform were economichallmarks of the early stages of the revolution.Similarly to the Spanish Republic, the CubanGovernment restrained the power of the RomanCatholic Church.The Cuban Revolution was also pointedlyanti-American. The US represented the “realpower” behind Batista’s dictatorship andCuba’s poverty. Eliminating the economic andpolitical dependence of Cuba on the US was afirst priority of the Revolution. As an overtalternative to the domination of the US, Cuba'snew order represented a threat to the traditionsof US hegemony throughout Latin America.United States commercial and diplomaticefforts against Cuba were well underway whenJohn F. Kennedy entered the White House inearly 1961, and he inherited a complex con¬spiracy to use Cuban emigres — representa¬tives of the former ruling classes — in theoverthrow of Castro. Unchecked by Kennedy,the "Bay of Pigs” invasion in April 1961 wentahead with US money and support.Of course the invasion failed. The anticipatedrising of the Cuban people against the “dic¬tator” Castro did not materialize. The 1200invaders were overcome by Cuban forces, mostwere captured and later released in *deal withthe US.Seven years ago, the long struggle against Sandinista patrols.RELIVING THE SPANISH CIVIL WARAnastasio Somoza’s dynasty came to an end inNicaragua. The Sandinista Front — a broadcoalition of opponents to the dictator — cameto power in Managua and began instituting thenecessary reforms for eradication of Somoza'sinjustices. Land reform and other economicmeasures, a literacy campaign, and improvedhealth care were most significant. Unlike theSpanish and Cuban cases, many RomanCatholic priests supported and participated inthe Sandinista Revolution (although the hierarchy, especially Archbishop Miguel Obando vBravo, remains staunchly opposed to theSandinistas).Most importantly, as in the case of bothSpain and Cuba, the ousted former rulers —both military and commercial — have organizedto oppose the new regime. The military forceknown as the contras includes many formerSomoza National Guard soldiers, and receivesfinancial support from the remainder of theNicaraguan commercial elite, now relocated toMiami. From bases in Honduras and CostaRica, the contras are harassing governmentactivities in Nicaragua, burning crops andmurdering Government workers and peasants.The US Government — both the Administra¬tion and the Congress — supports this anti-Sandinista activity. The Reagan Administrationin particular works covertly and overtly, legallyand illegally, to support the contras. The down¬ing of a transport plane over Nicaragua on Oct.5 resulted in the deaths of two US citizens andthe capture of a third US citizen, EugeneHasenfus. Hasenfus has admitted working onbehalf of the US Administration in support ofthe contras (an illegal act by congressionalstatute), though of course the Reagan Adminis¬tration denies this.. In their fundamentals, the cases of Spain1931-39, Cuba 1959-61 and Nicaragua 1979-present are closely similar. In each case, a newregime has come to power by popular action,overcoming a former autocratic, militaristic rule.Each new regime has instituted reforms ofgovernment and society in favor of popular interests. As a result, each new regime hasbeen opposed by the former ruling commercialand political factions. These former ruling interests — the Nationalists in Spain, the emigresof Cuba, the contras of Nicaragua — havegained support from outside, reactionary re¬gimes.In Spain, the fascist Nationalists overcamethe Republican Government after a long, brutal,death-filled Civil War. In Cuba, the expectedpopular uprising in favor of the invasion failedto occur, and the emigre force was lost. Theoutcomes, therefore, were radically different:Spain lapsed into a 36-year darkness of stag¬nant bureaucracy; Cuba continued its revolu¬tion, becoming one of the best-educated, mostegalitarian nations in Latin America.(Lest readers object unnecessarily to thischaractization of Cuban society, the writernotes the care with which these terms areselected: the writer does not claim that Cuba isthe “most free” or “most democratic” societyin the region. Cuba does not have “free"elections or a "free” legislature. But comparedto the barrios of Lima and the slums of SaoPaulo — and the south Bronx — Cuban societyis, indeed, more literate, better fed and lessstratified than its neighbors. What is to belamented about the Cuban Revolution is that, ina necessary effort to protect itself from USaggression, it has substituted dependence onthe Soviet Union for dependence on the UnitedStates.)What will be the outcome in Nicaragua? Asthese historical sketches have suggested, thecurrent situation bears far more resemblance toSpain in 1936 than Cuba in 1961. The contrasare tens of thousands — admittedly not thehundreds of thousands mobilized by Franco,but far more than the 1200 who landed at theBay of Pigs. The contras are receiving hun¬dreds of millions of dollars — (some legal andovert, some legal and covert, some illegal andcovert) — from private and public sources inthe US This material and moral support for thecontras approximates that provided by Hitler and Mussolini to the Spanish Nationalists.Moreover, the contras war is already four yearsold; it is clearly not a single invasion attempt,but a coordinated, long-term war.Rhetorically, of course, the Nicaraguan andCuban cases bear more similarity. Both theReagan and Kennedy administration basedtheir policies on anti-Communism and “con¬taining” the Soviet “threat” in the WesternHemisphere. This rhetoric is utilized despite thefact that Castro did not declare himself aCommunist and ally with the Soviet Union untilDecember 1961, eight months after the Bay ofPigs invasion, and despite the fact that theSandinistas. too. came to power in 1979 withthe intention of being independent of both theUS and the Soviet Union.(Indeed, what the Cuban and Nicaraguanrevolutions share is this desire to break free ofeconomic and political dependence on theUnited States — an idea which the capitalistworld order can abide no better in 1986 than in1961.)The Nicaraguan Civil War began in 1981,when the Reagan CIA organized the contras.With the downing of the supply plane earlierthis month, the level of US support has beenrevealed. A US citizen has become a prisonerof war and two more US citizens have died inaction. Heightened civil war, if not direct, overtUS military intervention, is now far more likely.The calls made by a dozen members of Con¬gress for an investigation of Hasenfus' spon¬sorship by the US are lost to more pressingconcerns about summit talks and re-election.It remains for the US public to organizeresistance to Reagan’s war in Central America.US citizens must make the war against Nic¬aragua an issue for the current legislativecampaigns, and must actively witness againstfurther military activity.If we fail to do so, US citizens will beorganized instead into military battalions to fightagainst the Sandinstas — and we will perhapsorganize an AtvaKam | incotn Brigade to 6ghtwith them.Jsawn nv uobih■WVHIHIIMIUIHIIEATING OUT?

They currently market twoproducts, Nest Eggs and Rambling Rose Veal, which comes fromspecially licensed farms that meet ASPCA standards for the humanetreatment of domestic animals. According to FACT, “most ofAmerica’s egg-laying chickens are crammed four or five to a 12-by-18-inch cage, pumped full of chemicals, and debeaked so they don’tkill each other.’’ The chickens in FACT-licensed farms are raisedwith plenty of room, no antibiotics in their diet, and beaks leftintact. The situation is equally bad in the production of veal. Calvesare taken from their mothers at birth and spend their whole lives ina stall a few inches wider than their bodies, tied at the neck incomplete darkness. They are fed an iron-poor diet, so their meat willbe white. FACT calves are raised outdoors and eat a healthy, iron-enriched diet. Nest Eggs are, for the time being, available at bothMr. G s and the Co-op Supermarket here in Hyde Park. They costalmost a dollar more per dozen, so be prepared to spend a littlemore if you're into supporting this. The same goes for the veal,which can be found at Mr. G’s, and in two Chicago restaurants —Foley’s Grand-Chicago and Gordon on Clark.

Ofcourse, one can replace the President, invertthe economic growth curve, move the war fromVietnam to South America, and still, Updike’speople will be fucking and sucking off theirspouses’ best friends without breaking thebeat. Given the prodigious stack of books hehas already ejaculated into the culture, it seemsill-timed to object now to his lurid fascinationwith meticulously cataloguing every middle-class prejudice against things non-white, non-AngloSaxon, non-Protestant.That is to say, although Roger’s Version isthe newest Updike, it is no news at all that hepersists in limning the disgusting, filthy mindedand mean-spirited attitudes toward anythingconceivably alien to the warm womb of aNortheastern Episcopalian chapel. Aside fromthese peripheral considerations, the only out¬standing question is whether the novel is asuccess. For those purists (a single word oxy¬moron in this context) still curious, the answerneedn’t be withheld. Yes, this is'a novel worthreading. One might wish for a better book, buthow can one ignore these beautiful sentences,limpidly played out into paragraphs of faultlessprose, craftily composed into an intelligentlyidiosyncratic resolution of realism’s collisionwith narrative omniscience? Alas, and for all hissurfeit of talent, the story told is rather feeble.The plot of RV is in some ways so appallinglylame, one almost has to assume it’s an obscureundersided slam. But against whom? Thestory’s guts fall into Roger Lambert’s lap on anOct. day, as he sits doing office hours before,his seminar on Pre-Nicene heretics. A youngman, Dale Kohler, appears, and begins toliterally froth with excitement about the devineimplications of current findings in physics.Other reviewers seem much impressed withthis dimension of the book, but the develop¬ment, integration with other elements, and itsown intrinsic relevance are conspicuously lack¬ing. The first tip off that something’s beingthrown in the Osterizer comes on the backsideof the title page. In small italics, above theacknowledgement for permission to quote from“Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” one’s eye iscaught by the incongruously long thank younote to that vast paperback library of pop¬ularized physics: “Ideas in this novel derived, inpart, from books and articles by Paul Davies,Robert Jastrow, George Gale,” and 16 others.When have so many contributed to so little?The discussion of cosmology, while not quitecursory, only amounts to a few stereotyped ticgestures in the direction of the Weak AnthropicPrinciple. Reiterated through a handful ofphysical examples is this one tarnished nugget:if one were to change some physical constant'snumerical value (nuclear strong force, neutronmass, or Newton’s gravitational constant arementioned) up or down “just a percent,” theUniverse would be so transformed that lifecould never evolve. Now, this happens to becorrect: we already well know the author’s donesome homework here. But as it stands, thisutterly fails to catch the reader’s interest. Dale,a zealous Christian-computer scientist-type,ticks off these nibbled facts, and one merelywaits, along with Roger Lambert in his office,for the maniac to exhaust himself. AlthoughDale is finagling for a grant from the DivinitySchool, he has obviously read nothing morethan the books by Davies, Jastrow et al. So,instead of having anything to do with science,Updike has wryly written a book about thoseidiot savants who become intoxicated with theverbal crumbs knocked off the table wherephysicists feast on mathematically formulatedcosmo-models. Perhaps that is the joke. Rogerdoes parry once with the bristly response: “Ifthere’s one thing that makes me intellectuallyindignant around here it’s the constant harpingof calf-eyed students on quantum mechanicsand the Heisenberg principle as proof of thathoary old philosophical monstrosity Idealism.”But quantum’s ghost conjured so fleetingly, isimmediately barbed and forever after buried.The ostensibly central notion (“God’s facefound by science”) wobbles around the ast-rophysical picture; to flesh it out a meagre wordor two is thrown in about gaps in the evolution¬ary record, near-death experiences (yes,NDEs!) and is clinched finally with vague as¬pirations to model this intellectual junk food ona computer program. Needless to repeat, al¬though these new-fangled notions fill a fewpages, they are so minimally integrated into thenovel that they can, and truly ought, be givenno more regard by the reader than Updikeapparently had for them into the galley proofs.Only the most information-starved reader couldbe sated with the novelist’s derisory crumb ofmodern science.For anyone truly hungry to discover whatcurrently preoccupies the minds of the coteriewho smash particles, hide deep undergroundawaiting the decadent proton, devour computertime crunching out cosmological models thatsolve Einstein’s general equations, read TheAnthropic Cosmological Principle, jointly writtenby physicists John D. Barrow and Frank J.Tipler. For the insomniac set who crave im¬possibly difficult 700-page tomes, this was thebook to bring to the beach this summer. But itsappeal far outstrips the pretentious or topical.To scan the vast arena of argument presentedhere is to take the grand tour of the Universe. MISANTHROPIC PRINCIPLESFrom plinth to pediment, they give a vindicationof Popper’s aphorism that "All science iscosmology." The story spans, to be sure, backto the vacuum which gave a rise to the BigBang, and looks forward to a most rosy pictureof Universal Heat Death, called the OmegaPoint. Noble German scholars felt obliged tocover as much in their 19th-century geographytextbooks. What distinguishes Barrow andTipler’s survey is the beautiful lucidity and goodhumor in their comprehensiveness. The gor¬geous graffiti strings of formulae will only begrasped by the elect. Yet the feeling is in¬escapable while reading that if one couldunderstand everything presented here, then,one would truly understand everything. Theirscholarship sensitively investigates the philos¬ophy of the Presocratics through Fichte and theAbsolute Idealists; includes the Zuni Indiancreation myth among other non-Western worldviews; draws upon the most current solutions tothe Prisoner’s Dilemma in game-theory; gentlyconsiders before refuting Teilhard de Chardinvia thermodynamics’ twin, information theory;and only then do they begin to launch into theelegant squiggly seriphs and exponentiatedfunctions that govern nucleons and Universes.Granted, not everything works out equallywell. The translation of German idealism intomodern computer terminology fails to salvagemuch of interest. Yet, the chapters are largelyself-contained, each brimming with divergentperspectives marked off into wittily epitaphedSections. Even a person entirely apathetic tothe general argument will encounter a wealth offascinating and clearly developed ideas. Theonly contemporary work of comparable scopeand importance would have to be E.O. Wilson’sSociobiology, published in 1975.But to rhapsodize is not to analyze. TheWeak Anthropic Principle (WAP), mentionedabove, states that all observations of the Uni¬verse are biased by the fact that we are alreadyhere to do the observing. The authors write:“The observed values of all physical and cos¬mological quantities are not equally probablebut they take on values restricted by therequirement that there exist sites where carbon-based life can evolve and by the requirementthat the Universe be old enough for it to havealready done so.” (p. 16) There is an intuitivereflex to consider this proposition as question¬begging, and hence, devoid of scientific con¬tent. Actually, WAP opens up a fresh vantagepoint from which to filter out the multiplicity ofmathematical models, and at the same time, itprovides a physically testable formulation formany theses that might have been scoffed at aspurely “metaphysical.” One historical examplefrom biology might show how fruitful the prin¬ciple is for guiding theory-formulations. LordKelvin, in 1863, proved that the earth could beno older than 100 million years. Note that thiswas four years after Darwin's first Origin.Amazingly, the authors quote from later edi¬ tions which show Darwin hedging againstKelvin, by postulating that evolution might haveoccurred more rapidly in the past. Now, ofcourse, there must have been breakneck mut¬ations, or Kelvin’s calculations were flawed.Perhaps it riffles one’s hierarchical proclivitiesto imagine a biological theory invalidating theclaims of physics. Just think such inchoatedisesteem of our own biology seems to moti¬vate much of the suspicion towards WAP. Wenow have theories which allow us to believe theearth is old enough for evolution to occur in justthe same manner today as it has for billions ofyears. We also have theories of star formulationfrom primeval hydrogen, which is predicted toeventually supernova and thereby produceheavier elements; all of this is known to taketime, during which the Universe continuesexpanding. So, the anthropic answer to Adam’squestion in Paradise Lost, why so much abovethe earth for just the two of us, is simple, onlysecond generation stars can have the mud fromwhich to mold you.Although WAP winnows (eliminating, e.g.,Hoyle’s steady-state cosmology) it also makesthings wilder, at least as a possibility. In¬flationary models of the Big Bang allow for aninfinity of causally disjoint regions, and theauthors also develop at length a boldly sympa¬thetic view of the Everett-DeWitt Many WorldInterpretation of Quantum Mechanics. In all ofthese models, the only guiding principle is,“everything goes.” Then, countenancing thenumerous coincidences that turn out to beessential for life, the explanation runs and re¬runs thus: Yes, there are universes whereentropy tends to a minimum, where all matter istrapped in black holes or diffused in hydrogenspray, but then, life isn’t there to notice it. Thereason that all is well and in order in "ourUniverse” is just this: if X had to happen orhold true in order for life to evolve, then we willobserve X in our Universe. There are an infinityor so of other Universes, and if they lackfeatures X, only we in our X-laden perspectivecan envision the cosmic waste of it all.So far we have remained within the obvious.As an explanation with kick and verve. WAPleaves many unsatisfied It’s as disappointingas the discovery that all you get from life isbeing born into it. Although there is a subtlegrace to the argument, the hankering for somelogical necessity persists when one answersinfinite improbability with a randomly infiniteinitial data set. For such zesty appetites, thereis the Strong Anthropic Principle. Basic to itsvariant formulations is the idea that to be aUniverse, life (“observers”) must exist in it.This indeed scrawls quantum mechanical par¬adox across heaven’s ceiling, and scratches itinto the interior of every particle as well. Toround out the list, there is the final AnthropicPrinciple: “Intelligent information-processingmust come into existence in the Universe, andonce it comes into existence, it will never dieDOWN BY LAW MAGICALby Lauren RosenthalJarmusch’s new film Down By Law is no bigproduction, just an enchanting sleight-of-hand.It is a stripped act: color, sunlight, transitions,inserts, close-ups, and dramatic action aregone. The action that remains could be the stuffof any major motion picture but it is incidentalto the subtler everyday struggles for safety.Kind of like blue lights at a strip show, you don’treally notice. The title is slang for in control andthis is what is at stake; being in control,knowing who is control, that there is control.Jarmusch’s characters are hopeful children,sometimes begging to be cared for and laterdemanding complete authority. Their wordshave power not in reason but in their ability towear out the listener. Words are chanted,magical through repetition, frightening, hil¬arious. Jarmusch plays people like instrumentsand the effect is a descent into the land of theall-nighter; a sleepless grey dawn where all is astep slower, droll, and faintly glowingZack, played by Tom Waits, is the grubby DJwithout steady work. His helplessness infuriatesthe woman in his life, played by Ellen Barkin,who succeed in kicking him out only throughthe persistence. Her words unintelligably poorout without break or buildup. She stops,abruptly begs Zack to hold down a job. He isvague, quiet, soft to her hard words and bodyHer pitch stops. She pulls back and regains heryelling without transition. No Chekovian reali¬zation of choice, no close-up to reveal inward thoughts. She screams “You don't take care ofme" as she slams Zack’s belongings out thewindow. You cannot help but think that henever did; she imagined he did.Jack played by John Lurie receives a similardressing down from his prostitute. He is thelaziest pimp she has ever seen. She wants himto be motivated but he just plays cards BothJack and Zack end up responsible for crimesthey did not commit because of their dreami¬ness. They are Americans lusting after an easystreet that never existed.Bob the Italian tourist, played by RobertoBenigni, does not have their problems Hemakes magical things happen without everappearing to control anything. Bob says “I ama good hegg.” A black-and-white kind of guy.He separates the good from the bad like aChaplin with words. His fantasies come true.In some sense this is a war of their threedreams or visions. How Bob finds happinessthrough movies and ice cream in Jarmusch'sunconcerned and dusky movie is a modernmiracle. Between Brechtian acting and lonelymusic is tale of silly happiness in a primeavalbayou. Jarmusch creates New Orleans as aghost town. It appears to have been made butthe inhabitants no longer effect it. An un¬concerned land for a egoistic people But Jackand Zack's solemn narcissism is surprisinglyamusing. The entire movie is quite a trick.Jarmusch never relies on punchline delivery orfastpaced action because people are truly greatwhen they are just trying to get by. out.” (p. 23) I do not suppose that either idea ismore bizarre than the other, and the authorsvaliantly set out arguments to show that thesepropositions are scientific hypotheses. I concurthat both have falsifiable content.Perhaps some individuals will be amused todiscover that their acid-induced visions were infact rigorously testable cosmological models.Even the undrugged youth will marvel at theidea that intelligent life cannot be snuffed fromthis, the center of the cosmos, PresidentReagan’s apparent lack of sentience notwith¬standing.The most outstanding virtue of this book isthe authors’ pluriversed tolerance, their facilityto concommitantly explore and sympatheticallydiscuss a multiplicity of divergent theories. Awonderful example of this comes in their dis¬cussion of the future of the Universe, as theylog it in a time table which ramifies acrossvarious Grand Unified Theories. If the proton isstable, then quantum tunneling probably li¬quifies all ordinary matter at 10 65 years, afterwhich the evaporation of differentially massedblack holes occurs via Hawking process (1066 to10117 years). Only the timid in imagination couldfail to rejoice as the table continues, evenbeyond 10800, where “our descendants (if any)probably meet descendants (if any) of HomoSapiens evolved independently on distantplanet.” (p. 654)Although we leapt away from Roger’s Ver¬sion to show how paltry treatment of physicswas, it may be a strain to suppose evenfictional realism can match that of thesephysicists. This is not the case. Barrow andTopler may calculate information content of allmatter in the visible Universe to approximate1098 bits, but there is an incalculable elan andsuppleness to the sentences Updike prodigallysquanders on his little characters. The story isso base and wretched, it would be necessary todeny its truthfulness were it not displayed sogracefully. But the chic theories, the revolvingrooftop restaurants, even the Madonna versusCyndi thing are finally mere props.What remains? Strip away even Roger him¬self, and shining through is seamless sheath ofsinuously woven words. The text. A profesorialfascination with Tertullian gilds the pages withshameless Latin paragraphs. Sometimes afootnote provides the translation, or the readerwill be lead through to parsing the lines, rolling,unfolding, breathing life into the whole matter ofthe flesh, these dead Latin sentences posit thecentral irony of the word. How graphicallyTertullian and Updike bang away at man’scarnal nature, how comparatively remote andirrelevant the languages of physics and com¬puter science sound. Chapter III begins withTertullian concretely questioning whether any¬thing in the world can be separated from theflesh. The insistent eloquent focus on the grossaspects of the body makes him a perfectincarnation of the author. As the passages arelifted away, Roger the narrator fantasizes forthree-quarters of a page on the clinical,graphic, and physiological nature of an erectpenis. The voice shifts imperceptibly, the focusmelts into a detailed vision of his wife impaledupon that cock, cuckolding him in the third floorof their house. The eye shimmers unflinchinglyas this scene unfolds, and although all of theparticulars prove later to be facts, the sliming,slamming, sucking remain inside his head.Roger elsewhere leaves a footnote for thereader, “At a certain age. and beyond, the bestsex is head sex — sex kept safe in the head.”Even puns are clues, right? As far as sexpassages go, the characters seem to enjoythem. It is not they who appear to lash throughthem as if it were a practiced tennis serve. Butwho can avoid the feeling tl.at Updike mechan¬ically crawls through every bed. stroking awayto perfect his technique? Well, his is a worldwhere God s existence is proved most une¬quivocally by “the shape and mucilaginousinfolded structure of our wrinkly human geni¬tals.”What is he writing all this down for? Sub¬limely educated Roger reflects upon the Got¬tingen hermeneutical approach to the Gospelauthors' sitz im leiben, and he knows that forthose long dead souls: “Writing was sympa¬thetic magic, ... writing something down was toan extent making it so, it was a creative ratherthan a mimetic act.” On first blush, who couldpossibly be a less sympathetic writer thanUpdike? But if we're told that his butthole hurtsafter strenuous sex these days (p. 155), thenthe last sickening straw untangles the wholerotten skein. What else can this be but an act ofpurgation, a vomiting up of an intelligent man'smost perverse thoughts? This is a WASP'sconfessional, a cleansing away by creativelyconstructing and describing every occasion ofshame. Perhaps reading (and writing) will rootout our myriad carnal cravennessesIf this is the task that remains to literature,one wishes it would do it and get it over with.Conversely, the possibility of constructing areligiously meaningful mythology out of thephysical sciences (a project dating back at leastto the French Revolution, and more recentlyrevived by one secular sociobiologist) is lumi¬nously held out by the cosmologists who aimtowards the Omega Point. This modernizationshould not be too optimistically envisioned,since it may paradoxically catapult the lay¬person back to the medieval vulgate’s mystifi¬cation at Mass; the involute syntax of Latin willhave been exchanged for the axiomatizedformal languages of mathematics, the personalGod replaced by the singularity at the end ofthe light cone And with luck, some moregenerous soul will displace Updike.GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1986—5ijl}|siiIi\\\\\sii\\iiiis Alzina Stone Dale and |Barbara Sloan Hendershott \will be autographing their new book jiMystery Reader's Walking jGuide: London\Sunday, November 2 |2:00-4:00 p.m. |i57th St. Books !1301 E. 57th654-1300jBOOKS k/AvVHJIHYDE PARKHARPER CT. at 53rd St. 288-4900NOW OPEN!TOTALLY REMODELED!NEW SEATS, PROJECTION & SOUND.THREE NEW THEATRESPresenting the finest first runmotion picture entertainment.1 JUMPIN JACK FLASH RWEEKDAYS 6:15, 8:15,10:15SAT.

Though many Western Europeansfavor remaining in the North Atlantic TreatyOrganization and American participation in thatdefense alliance, a growing number of NATOconstituents are not pleased with the UnitedState’s current role. While the US is attemptingto expand NATO operations outside of Europeand maintain an aggressive stance on nucleararms control, the opposition parties of WestGermany and the United Kingdom haveadopted policies advocating the unilateralwithdrawal of American cruise and Pershingnuclear missiles from their soil.The arguments between American hawksand European doves reached the boiling pointduring the British Labour Party conferenceearlier this month. US Secretary of DefenseCaspar Weinburger, incensed by the new Lab¬our manifesto demanding the withdrawal of allAmerican nuclear bases from Britain, warnedthat such a policy could lead to the totalwithdrawal of American forces from the UnitedKingdom and the collapse of NATO. MostEuropean governments at present are sympa¬thetic to the current American administration'sdefense posture, but there is no guaranteefuture European governments will agree withUS policy. A Labour coalition in the UnitedKingdom or a SDP coalition in West Germanywill almost certainly demand that the US de¬crease its profile if not its presence in NATO.How the United States prepares for such futureEuropean demands may determine whether ornot NATO continues to exist.The source of the tension underlying Ameri¬can-West European relations is competing vi¬sions of the role of NATO.

Before the treaty the rush todevelop a strategic defense and an offensivesystem able to penetrate enemy defenses leadto an unprecedented arms race between theUS and USSR. It is safe to conclude that thedeployment of SDI would force the UnitedStates and the Soviet Union to saturate Europewith nuclear weapons, making arm controlagreements impossible.The American pursuit for global securitythrough NATO promotes insecurity amongsome of our closest allies. Scaring the Sovietsis not helpful when the United States mortifiesits friends at the same time. In the race toreassert American power, the United States hasfailed to examine the utility of certain weaponsand doctrines By condemning friendly politicalleaders who do not agree with Mr. Weinburgerasks the United States undermines its ownposition as senior partner in NATO. What isreally at stake is not NATO as suggested by Mr.Weinburger, but waning American prestige andrespect.The threat of withdrawing American conven¬tional forces from states which do not take ournuclear weapons on our conditions is an emptyone. New Zealand is not hurting because of itsdecision to refuse American warships withnuclear weapons on board. Since it is im¬possible to imagine any situation where theUnited States would tolerate Soviet interferencein New Zealand’s internal affairs it is equallyimpossible to envision the United States aban¬doning Europe.The United States has invested too much inEurope to carry out a full military withdrawal. Ifour bluff is called the United States will eitherback down from its threat and lose face or backout and lose more than pride.

Proponentsof cruise and Pershing belive in a nuclear “war¬fighting” strategy in which nuclear weaponswould be used against a Warsaw Pact invasionto show the enemy we are serious about ournuclear threat. Those who believe the limiteduse of either nuclear weapons by either sidewould stop a confrontation are fooling them¬selves. Either side would consider an explosionof a nuclear weapon as a serious escalation ofthe conflict requiring at least retaliation in kind.Cruise and Pershing are not just unnecessary,but dangerous. NATO needs them like it needsappendicitis.With a gradual reduction in nuclear ar¬maments more resources could be devoted tothe conventional NATO arsenal. The steeringcommittee of the European Security Study,whose members include an American whoserved as supreme allied commander in Europeand a former German commander-in-chief ofallied forces in Europe, recently suggestedNATO conventional forces could be significantlystrengthened for around $20 billion over thenext five or six years. The capital for thisventure could easily be drawn from abandonedor scaled-down nuclear programs in the UnitedStates alone.

GlazierReviewing Baroque opera is difficult. Thereare too many issues to consider: not merely themyriad components of an ordinary opera, butalso particular questions regarding the music,the audience, the staging, the performancestyle, etc...This problem is compounded whenthe production is by a company which, like theLyric, is devoted to 19th century opera and isnot experienced in Baroque production. Fur¬thermore, when such a company is braveenough to risk performing a Baroque opera, itseems almost treasonous to criticize the re¬sults. Fortunately, the Lyric’s Orlando, is agreat production of a great opera. Inevitably,however, the production is flawed — as it were,an ancient statue of great beauty marred by adisfiguring gash. It is the responsibility of thereviewer to appreciate the beauty while notingthe flaws.Since Handel’s operas, in spite of numerousperformances and recordings, are still unfamil¬iar to many, it seems appropriate to commentbriefly on the music and the story. Handel wasthe greatest exponent in his generation of theItalian opera seria (the form of opera created byMonteverdi’s Orfeo, and which endured to thedeath of great opera in Mozart’s Idomeneo andHaydn’s Armida), and Orlando (1733) is argu¬ably the finest of his operas.As is constomary in opera seria, the librettoof Orlando is mythological, loosely based onAriosto’s Orlando Furioso. The story is straight¬forward. The victorious knight Orlando, paladinof Charlemagne, loves Angelica, princess ofCathay. She rejects him in favor of the Africanprince Medoro, who returns her love. Theshepherdess Dorinda (in Ariosto, Medoro is ashepherd) also loves Medoro, but without suc¬cess. When Orlando learns that Angelica lovesanother, he goes mad, trying to kill first thelovers and then himself. They are rescued andOrlando restored to sanity, by the magicianZoroastro. Orlando renounces love for thequest of glory, and Dorinda goes off to seekconsolation elsewhere.The plot, while simple, offers opportunitiesfor every kind of emotional expression, frommarital triumph to pathetic madness, frompassionate love to jealous vengence. It is alibretto perfectly suited to the style of the operaseria, which emphasized emotional expression,beautiful melody and virtuoso singing ratherthan action.The structure of the classical opera seria issimple, though flexible. Action, which takesplace during thinly scored recitativo (thoughHandel often thickens his recit into arioso foremotional effect) is always carefully written,passionate and interesting. These action pass¬ages alternate with reflective arias in which thecharacters express their emotions. The generalform of the aria is the two stanza solo da capo.sung ABA, the first stanza being repeated dacapo (i.e. from the beginning) to allow thesinger freedom to ornament and increase theemotional effect. The melody is played beforeand after each section to emphasize the or¬namentation. Handel’s ravishingly beautifulmelodies only benefit from his five-fold repeti¬tion. Ensembles and choruses are used spar¬ingly, usually reserved for act finales. A Frenchoverture and various incidental pieces completethe score.Orlando is a particularly pure example of the Marilyn Home rattles her sabre.opera seria. It employs no chorus, only fivesoloists (Handels’ opera company was in fi¬nancial trouble and could not afford any moresingers) and contains no dances. There areonly five ensembles and all but three arias arestandard da capo’s. In this respect, Orlando isthe most conservative of all Handel’s operas. Itis an opera consecrated to the solo voice,unforgiving of errors, which stands or fallssolely on the basis of the quality of its singers.Fortunately, the Lyric has assembled theperfect cast for the opera. All five singers aresuperb. Most outstanding is countertenorJeffrey Gall as Medoro (a role originally sung bya woman). His strong but flexible voice isperfectly suited to Handel. Less smooth thanDrew Minter or Rene Jacobs, he sings with aslight roughness that is irresistable. One wishesthat, as in the 1980 Cambridge production, hehad been assigned to the title role. Equallyimpressive and nearly as sensitive to the fluidityof Handel’s melody are Gianna Rolandi, adelightfully sprightly and amusing Dorinda, andJune Anderson, a noble and moving Angelica.Roderick Kennedy, while lacking in strength tobe a truly impressive Zoroasto, sings withbeautiful tone and expression. Marilyn Horne,as Orlando (a role originally written for the greatcastrato Senesino), seemed unwell during theopening night performance. Her voice, whileeffortlessly following Handel’s florid music andher own even more florid ornamentation, didnot project well. At times her singing seemedalmost perfunctory, as if she were a bit boredby the music. Still Ms. Horne, even on an offnight, is indefinitely superior to almost anyoneelse, and her performance was duly appreci¬ated by the audience. Indeed, in accordancewith the custom of Handel’s day. every aria wasapplauded: a practice pleasing both to thesingers and to the listener.Here we come to one of those vexing dif¬ficulties with Handel: authenticity. An orchestralike the Lyric’s is simply not competent toperform Handel’s music correctly. In the firstplace, they can not play the appropriate in¬struments. In the second place, if they couldand did, the audience would walk out because it would not understand the music (rememberthat the Lyric already has a hard time sellingtickets to Handel—and recently even toWagner— operas). The same general commentapplies to the singing style. Baroque perform¬ance practice is unacceptable to the une¬ducated contemporary audience. Thus onegoes to the Lyric expecting smooth tempiinstead of dotted rhythms in the instrumentalsections, vibrato instead of pure tones in thevoices and inappropriate cadenzas (which bringthe house down but ruin Handel’s carefullycalculated effects) in place of the requisite trillsin the arias.One does not want to criticize inappropriateperformance practice too severly because thealternative is not to have Baroque operasperformed at all; also the 19th century ap¬proach to Handel can sometimes work mar¬velously. Last year’s Samson was the bestopera I have yet seen — not Handel but Handeltransfigured into something greater. When anartist like Jon Vickers sings, and everythingelse works perfectly, one can feel that ques¬tions of style are irrelevant. However, all elsebeing equal, it is more pleasant to hear Handelperformed correctly.The 19th century approach does not suitOrlando particularly well. The success of its dacapo’s with their manifold repetitions, dependsmuch more on details of style than do the greatchoruses of Samson, and the opera suffersbecause of it. Mr. Gall clearly understood thisaspect of the music better than the othersingers and snuck in some lovely Baroqueornamentation. Ms. Horne is such a con¬summate master of Handel that it seems pre¬sumptuous to criticize, but her performance,while moving, inevitably seemed a bit oldfashioned to one who has heard Julianne Bairdsing similar music.The conductor, Charles Mackerras, recog¬nized the problem, but did not know quite howto handle it. He performed the entire work inmodern style, with two inexplicable exceptions.Perhaps he wished to show the audience howthe music ought to be performed. He over¬dotted the first movement of the overture to such an extent that he seemed to be conduct¬ing from a pogo stick — this is preferable to alimp rendition but is still not ideal. Secondly,and disasterously, he brought a baroque con-tinuo section on stage for the third act aria, Gia/’ ebro mio ciglio. They played badly, the onlybad playing in the entire opera, and very nearlyspoiled the entire thrid act. Indeed their playingseemed to shake the singers as well, for thefinal tutti almost fell apart during its first repeti¬tion. Otherwise Mr. Mackerras’ conducting wasas musically sensitive, and the orchestra aslush and precise as even the most Procrusteancritic could desire. Particularly worthy of praiseare the uncredited recorder soloists in thetremendously beautiful aria of Angelica, Verdipianti, who, without employing any Baroquedevices, gave the aria a truly Baroque feel.John Copley’s staging, while carefullythought out, recapitulated the central dilemmaof the opera, veering irregularly from triumphinto madness and back. He evidently worriedthat a serious Baroque staging would bore hisaudience, so he compromised, making Medoroand Angelica serious and Baroque, Dorindaand Zoroastro comic and modern and leavingOrlando somewhere in between. That comedyis absent from the libretto (even in II PastorFido Handel treats his pastoral characters withrespect), does not prevent him from tricking upDorinda and Zoroastro’s arias with annoyingand inappropriate stage business. In this heseems to have followed the worrying precedentset by this year’s disasterous Zauberflote. Onewould not even mind the comedy were it not soheavy/ handed. It is amusing, and not toodistracting, to have Zoroastro dressed as aneighteenth century poet-laureate in judge’s wigand laurel crown with four identically bewiggedboys as genii. But to have the moving anddeeply serious aria Tra caligini profonde stagedas a dictation lesson, complete with a duncecap for an errant pupil, distracts completelyfrom the music. The scene was well staged,and the four boys played their roles extremelywell, but the whole exercise was inappropriate.Similarly gimmicky was the staging of Dorinda’sAmor e qual vento with a mock orchestra ofshepherds complete with a rush strewn clavi¬chord and plastic sheep. The audience liked itbut the music suffered.The serious scenes worked much better. Justto stand still is not trivial in Baroque theater,where gesture and poise are crucial. Theattitude of a singer’s body and the dignity of hisgestures are almost as important as his singing.Once again Mr. Gall excelled, his grace ofmovement is delightful. June Anderson alsocarried herself beautifully, he “has the walk ofa queen." Their love scenes together wereclose to perfection and Mr. Copley wisely leftthem alone and let the music do the work.Ms. Horne’s scenes were more problematic.She travestied her part, waving her arms,tossing her sword in the air, and flailing itaround like a seven-year-old. Even more dis¬tressing was the pillow fight during the venge¬ance aria Gia lo stringo which spoiled thepathos of the mad scene. It was all inexplicablefor it gained nothing. The audience was merelypuzzled, not amused. Were one given to wildsurmises one might think that Ms. Horne wasmad indeed and seeking to take vengeance onthe opera.The use of pantomimes to accompany sev¬eral of the arias was a nice (and authenticallyBaroque) touch, though Mr. Copley has stagedthem as modern ballet, and provided a conven¬ient way to illustrate the drama inherent in theda capo form. While a few of these pantomimescenes, such as the combat between love andglory during Lascia amor and (unfortunately)the final tableau, provoked giggles, most, likethe underworld scene (complete with Charon’sboat and a mysterious winged monster) and theopening scene with Orlando on horseback,were extremely effective. The magic was gen¬erally well handled, with the various entrancesand exits on clouds especially appealing. Onlythe descent of the eagle during the deus-ex-machina in the third act seemed inadequate tothe demands of the music.John Pascoe’s tromp-l’oeil set, columns withsculptures of armed horsemen, is gorgeous andconvenient. The clouds and floats are bothattractive and Baroque in style. Minor lapseswere the failure of the stars to revolve in the skyduring the program aria, Gieroglifici eterni, andthe ugly ribbons representing rain which de¬scend during Sorge infausta una procella.The costumes, by Michael Stennett wereentirely appropriate and the most sumptuous Ihave yet seem at the Lyric. They helped greatlyto create an atmosphere of mysterioussplendor. Even Handel could not have askedfor more.The supertitles were, as always, annoying,though they serve the valuable function ofkeeping occupied that large fraction of theaudience which is only waiting for the opera tobe over. The “Star Wars” style plot summariesprojected on stage during the overture and theintroduction to the third act, had a magicalresult: the music was not drowned out bytalking.Last year’s Samson set an impossibly highstandard, and perhaps this reviewer is unfairlycritical because he has that production in mind.Be that as it may, this Orlando is a great opera,a terribly difficult project brought off with re¬markable success. One could not ask for bettersingers or a better effort. It is an opera not to bemissed.Orlando by George Frederic Handel, con¬ducted by Charles Macherras, staged by JohnCopley, is at the Lyric until November 17.by James A. GlazierLovers of baroque music have an almostembarassing variety to choose from this week¬end. Those who missed Les Arts Florissants, onThursday can still catch Orlando at the Lyric.This Saturday is the first performance of theseason by the superb Early Music from theNewberry Library, led by former University ofChicago associate Mary Springfels. On Sundayat 3:00 pm Music of the Baroque performsBach’s B-minor Mass at the United Church ofHyde Park. I have reviewed the Lyric’s Orlandoelsewhere in this issue. For those unfamiliarwith Music of the Baroque, the following reviewof their previous concert, a performance ofHenry Purcell’s opera, The Fairy Queen, lastMay. may be helpful.I had hoped that Music of the Baroque’sperformance of Henry Purcell’s nearly in¬destructible opera, The Fairy Queen (1692),would be a pleasant afternoon’s entertainment.Even poor performers tend to respond withenthusiasm to Purcell’s magnificent and goodhumored music (and the Music of the Baroqueensemble contains some fine performers). Theopera is full of variety, ranging from the up¬roariously funny “Drunken Poet” scene and thedelicate and lyrical “Sleep” scene to theceremonial and celebratory wedding masque.Dances, choruses and solo passages alternatewith refreshing rapidity and liveliness. To makesure ^ work dull requires exceptional effort.Unfortunately Music of the Baroque met thechallenge.Most of the blame belongs to the conductor,Thomas Wickman, whose lack of technicalcompetence matches his obvious hatred forbaroque music. Management to be both limpwristed and inflexible at the same time, heconducts with the fire of a rusty metronome. Hisignorance of the basics of baroque perform¬ance practice was evident from the beginningof the concert, when he destroyed the preludeand overture (which are composed of dancemovements) by conducting with no rhythmicemphasis whatsoever and by choosing hisBAROQUE CHOKEtempi as inappropriately as possible, draggingin hornpipes and racing the slow sections.Indeed, he rendered all of Purcell’s exuberantdances undanceable leading me to concludethat he considers dancing to be a moral sin.One hopes that the audience appreciate thissound moral reason for making the musicridiculous. That he was unable to give anystructure to the opera as whole was almostirrelevant; having lost all his battles, it was notsurprising that he lost the war. I dread to thinkhow he will render Bach.He did less damage to the individual songs.At least they were recognizable, though, likethe- dances, dulled by a lack of rhythmicemphasis and inappropriate tempi (his extra¬ordinarily slow and weirdly balanced presenta¬tion of the echo trio “May the God of Witinspire" was particularly offensive). More seri¬ously, he was unwilling or unable to respond tohis singers, beating time with utter insensitivityto the dramatic needs of the music and theinspiration of his soloists. Such an approachmay keep an orchestra together but it makesfor terribly dull opera; it is also diametricallyopposed to the baroque ideal of singing as avehicle for emotional expression. Three hoursof such time beating in the B-Minor Mass wouldbe unendurable.Mr. Wickman’s style was not the only fault inthe performance, however, he miscued thechorus in “Away, away,” which dissolved intocacaphony and had to be restarted. The choruswas often rough, especially in the larger andlouder ensembles, and the strings producedmore than their share of wrong notes. Thewinds were also shakey. The use of valvedtrumpets rather than the prescribed naturaltrumpets destroyed Purcell’s carefully arrangedcolor schemes in the otherwise well performedtrumpet fanfares. As a whole, however, despitenumerous minor lapses, the orchestra deservespraise for performing credibly under extremelydifficult circumstances.The quality of the singing varied consider¬ably. Two soloists stood out. Linda Mabbs, listed as “guest soprano,” has a very pleasant,though not powerful voice. She sometimesseemed to whisper (which was appropriate inthe ethereal role of night and less pleasing inthe malicious fairy’s vivacious aria “About himgo”) but always sang with poise. A pity that Mr.Wickman did not allow her to exercise herevident dramatic talent to make the musicexpressive. She could be pleasant indeed sing¬ing the right repertory and with better conduct¬ing. Baritone Richard Cohn also has a finevoice and great dramatic sensibility (though onecould do without his pantomiming in a concertperformance). Most importantly, he was gener¬ally able to overcome Mr. Wickman’s leadenconducting and to make his arias interesting.He should be congratulated for such an heroicachievement. Distinguished by their badnesswere Soprano Alicia Purcell, who did no serviceto her namesake’s music, and CountertenorSteven Rikards who sounded like a strangledgoose The remaining soloists were adequate.The moral of the disaster is that conductingcounts, even in baroque music. Music of theBaroque is a potentially fine ensemble. WhenMr. Wickman conducts music that he likes andunderstands, they respons well. Their renditionof the Schubert Mass last year was lovely. Butwhen they perform baroque music, Mr.Wickman does not allow them to succeed.Music of the Baroque should emulate largerorchestras and bring in a guest conductor forperformances of baroque music. Mr. Wickmanwould be free to conduct the music that heenjoys, and the audience, instead of being.embarassed, would enjoy itself.In the meantime, stay away from Music of theBaroque, and make the trip to the Lyric (20North Wacker Drive) and the Newberry (60West Walton St., near the Watertower). You willfind that it is well worth the effort.Music of the Baroque performs Bach’s B-minor Mass this Sunday at 3:00 pm at theUnited Church of Hyde Park, and again at 7:30pm Tuesday, November 4th at St Paul’s UnitedChurch on the Near North Side.8—FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1986—GREY CITY JOURNALFRIDAY 10/31 10 PM-1=36 AMI N T £ R N AT IU N A L—— H 01J S £SlfSHBSHilll SSsuIfflii EEgfflliifflisisisiuiiiC°vt> OftS? <&-*>£fiWUc«0^ ^ ^ ^d7“ S1SH m SEES fl MMM US® “ASSEMBLY HALL 21 ANDOVERgojk $ £ RESIDENTS $3 OTHERS jfli.“OEDE 1 §SDI §D B@3B@§BE“#% BEia [ssasig a aasE he heie ^9(30 o__ ns^ * - r-; n rn» its a *?o_ o ~ rj 0 □(«oD^ c«-/© 00 <Y//V °5JfoBUSS gfflffingss fflUEESIIES]iH 3 s n O H 1 tf W 01IV W a 31W I iH*3* w y 6S=i- w d 0 l i e /01 a v a i a d DOCUMENTARY FILM GROUPTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO5811 SOUTH ELLIS AVENUECHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60637presentsSaturday, Nov. 1Miami ViceCrime StoryFree Aaron Lipstadt7:00 P.M.Sunday, Nov. 2Night is My Future 8:00S2.00Monday, Nov. 3 i-House FilmsAutumn Sonata 9:00Freeshowingat theMAX PALEVSKY THEATREIDA NOYES HALL1212 E. 59th StreetCUT RATE TRAVELSCAND1A *499 ORIENT SAVESSSISRAEL ’720 FRANKFORT ’349LONDON *419 ZURICH ’410TOKYO *598 AUSTRALLA SAVESSSCANCUN ’239 RIO (MIAMI) ’655ITALY SAVESSS HAWAII *499JAMAICA *289 PARIS *441BAHAMAS *249 AMSTERDAM *342NEW ZEALAND *949 SPAIN *420ONE WAY SPECIALS TO EUROPE SAVESSSDISCOUNTS ON BUSINESS andFIRST CLASS SEATS7 days a week/24 hours a dayASK FOR RON3)2-982-0575APARTMENTSFOR RENTGRAFF &CHECK1617 E. 55th St.Spacious, newly-decoratedlarge studios, one bedroomapartments in quiet, well-maintained buildings close tocampus.Immediate OccupancyBU 8-5566 Starts TodayBargain PriceUntil First ShowIdren Under 6 Not Admitted V FINE ARTS418 S.

If the production ofDracula, in a new interpretation and with a newscript succeeds at all, it is due to the meticu¬lousness of certain individuals who, in mani¬pulating the technical elements of the play,work with swiftness and surety to create theaura of efficiency. Director Ralph Scherer ap¬pears to deserve most of the credit in bringingabout this felicitous change in production pol¬icy, for he has created a production of which hecan be pretty pleased: a show where actor andtech crew solidify to entertain and amuse theaudience. Dracula may suffer from certainundeniable shortcomings, quite literally, theshow is only an hour long, several set-changesincluded, a few of the technical details are stilla bit rough, and a couple of the actors look asthough they could have used a few more days,in training, but the results are attractive.Whether or not Dracula is the best show of thequarter is not the question. At least, it is certainthat it will not be the worst of them. But puffpreviewing aside, what really strikes one aboutDracula, in this production, is the originalsensual outlook that the play takes. We have allseen versions of the Dracula legend, in books,movies, and plays, which emphasize the latentsexualilty of the vampire. Not often, however, isthe sexuality so near the surface, and rarelyhave the other characters in the story been soinstrumental in awakening their own lusts.Some viewers, I suspect, may come away fromthe play having seen the crypto-stylized im¬agery, and consider what they have watched tobe some kind of peculiar adolescent sex fan¬tasy; there may be some truth to this inter¬pretation, certainly the character we identifywith primarily, contrary to general ways thestory is told, is the big sex-stud Dracula, andnot the Freudian '‘papa-don’t-preach” figure ofVan Helsing. Other viewers may find the play’sclear emphasis on homosexuality interesting aswell, and may ask, "is this Dracula an allegoryfor the eventual victory of the homosexuallifestyle?’’ In the version now playing, for ex¬ample, what appears to drive the Drac-ster to"take” (this term is meant euphemistically, ofcourse) Mina and Lucy is spite at having beenspurned by his “brother” Jonathan Harker, andlater he (the vampire) is driven to madness bythe death of his beloved “servant” Renfield.the first scene of the play is an interminablemonologue, taken from the novel Interview Witha Vampire, I think, which tells about an am¬biguous experience he had which could eitherhave been a homosexual affair, or a vampirificone. Even the set, six or seven coffins which jutall about the stage support a phallocentricinterpretation of the work, and, about the climaxof the play, I can* only say that homosexualitytriumphs in the end. Sexual emphasis notwith¬standing, though, the director’s main talent isclearly in creating genuinely affecting imageryand tableaux. Each characater on stage iscarefully posed in an ever changing series ofmoving portraits, with the proscenium arch asthe picture frame. The play is divided into anumber of scenes, each ending with a crystal-ized study, and then a black out. The script,although it lends itself well to this sort ofstaging, itself is flawed. Not only is it too short,with the exception of the longest monologue inthe world, which is far too long, the sceneswithin it are narrative tidbits plucked from thenovel unconnected to any of the other events inprevious scene. At one point, Barach Echol’satmospheric recitation of excerpts from TheRime of the Ancient Mariner is supposed tosymbolize a ship’s crew being devoured byvampires, although there is no reason or ex¬planation for the somewhat incoherent sub¬stitution. Lovers of the novel Dracula wouldsurely wince at the change. To understand theplay, one must first know the book* And thenwe are forced to discard it when the author ofthe play chooses to surprisingly and in¬explicably alter the plot. Much of the dialogue isabsurdly campy, too, and the cast dutifullytrudges along its histronic way, sometimesshrieking melodramatically, if we are lucky.The performances are uneven, allowing oneto feel that the director’s primary interests laywith making the actors look good standing onstage, without particularly caring how or whythey do. This is unfortunate. Some of theinterpretation of lines are identifiably incorrectin intonation and emotional emphasis. Somecharacters do things on stage obviously because they have been told to by their directorand not because they are motivated to do so.Christopher Voight’s Dracula cuts an im¬pressive image with his cape (which seems a bit anchronistic in this production, actually) andangular cheekbones, but surprisingly, his voicewas virtually emotionless at times. He couldeasily have played his role with more fullness,but instead, he decided to undertake and tomake himself sound like a vampirific PeterJennings, which in itself is not a criticism, if oneconsiders Peter Jennings to be as sinister afellow, as I do. The tonelessness did detractfrom the believabilty of the character, though.Mark Audrain’s Renfield, on the other hand,was a masterfully “big” performance for thisgenerally underplayed production, deft in emo¬tional intensity, and rich in colorful character¬ization. It was clear that he saw his character,not as a pathetic vermin-eating whiner, as therole has been seen by many, but rather as arighteous and vengeful prophet of a thoroughlynasty dark god. Jackie Jacobsen and DanielleWillis, Mina and Lucy, respectively, are notgiven very much to do here, although each hasan impressive moment or two, the former whenshe is cornered by Renfield in his cell, the latteras a naughty vampire chick. JonathanMcGinn’s Jonathan Harker connotated greatinnocence, in danger of corruption from thelascivious evil, although one must admit that hedid sound a bit like he was having an orgasmwhen Dracula “got” him. Nasty.The aura of suspense and unease was aidedby a number of expensive technological at¬tachments, a fog machine, a creepy and loudsynthesizer score, and buckets and buckets ofblood, all of which should not have beennecessary to the play exactly, and were onlyrarely used to hid what they perceived to belapses in the acting. Special effects in amateurproductions are a very risky business. If thepfay is decent, there should be no need to usethem. The fact that the producers thought themnecessary belies a certain insecurity upon thepart of the producers. Why? The play is per¬fectly decent, although it might have been evenbetter had the flesh and bones aspect of actingbeen more concentrated upon, and not themore optional razzle dazzle storm and dramaaspects of showmanship.Dracula plays in the Third Floor Theater ofthe Reynold’s Club through Sunday, at 8. Thereis a midnight show on Halloween. Admission is$4, which seems a trifle expensive for a showwhich lasts only an hour. MAMEby Pam HollandPegasus Players opened their eighth seasonlast week with Jerome Lawrence and Robert E.Lee’s Auntie Mame, the comedy based onPatrick Dennis’ best selling book of 1954.Through its many permutations — book, stageplay, musical (with film versions of each) —Auntie Mame retains a core of humor andoptimism about life.The story opens in prohibition era New York,where Mame Dennis is the belle of artistic and“free-thinking” society. Her glamourous,madcap life is suddenly upended, first by thearrival of her nephew Patrick, her brother’sorphan, then by the stock market crash, whichleaves her broke. At first, Mame looks onPatrick as another new fad in her life, catchingher momentary interest, but he soon comes tomean everything to her.It is at this point that the Pegasus productionfinds its true strength. In the opening scene,and indeed all large chorus scenes that follow,director Dan LaMorte fails to focus our attentionon key lines or events. These scenes tend tobecome distracting and incongruous in an oth¬erwise smooth production. When Mame is leftalone with any of the several strong supportingcharacters, the show becomes completelycharming.Among the strong supporting cash ChristineSt. John as Vera Charles — actress, lush, andMarne’s long time friend — is outstanding. Hercomedic delivery is broad but controlled, allow¬ing her to steal virtually every scene in whichshe appears.The pleasantly campy tone of the first act,however, fails to ease up sufficiently for thesomewhat more serious issues of the second.After prep school and college. Patrick finds hisvalues to be different from those of his Aunt; heis enamoured of his new friends among the“best families of Connecticut,” and particularlyof Gloria Upson, his fiancee. He fears Mameand her circle will be shocking to Gloria and herparents. Mame feels bound to expose theUpson’s false propriety to Patrick for the bigotryit really is, allowing for some wonderfully funny,yet equally touching scenes. This production Auntie Mame with cigarette holder.does Funny very well, but little attempt is madeto preserve the softer, more earnest subtext.We find another excellent piece of casting inCarol Whelan and Carroll Alexander as the lily-white Upsons, the couple sent into fits ofgiggles on explaining to Mame the name oftheir estate, Upson Downs. Both seem trulyborn into the marguarita drinking, madras plaidset. Also deserving of credit are ElizabethShepard Rigdon as Sally Cato, and RobertMaffia as the stage manager. Both are smallparts made memorable by wonderful pieces ofacting.Auntie Mame will be performed at theO'Rourke Center for the Performing Arts ofTruman Colleg through Nov. 30. Performancesare Wed., Fri., and Sat. evenings with a mati¬nee on Sun.

It is presented throughthe eyes and ears of an adolescent collegestudent, coming of age.Jeffrey (Kyle MacLahlan) returns home afterhis father suffers a seizure. Walking across thewasteland to the hospital one day, Jeffreydiscovers a severed ear crawling with antsamong the weeds. Being conscientious, hetakes it to the police, who are dumbfounded.Sandy (Laura Dern), a detective's daughter,learns of the discovery and confronts Jeffrey.Despite possible retribution from adults, the twopledge to solve the mystery themselves. Thetrail soon leads to Dorothy (Isabelle Rosselini),a distracted singer who must perform sex withFrank (Dennis Hopper), an underworld king,who holds her husband and son as hostages.Jeffrey becomes involved with both Sandy andDorothy, pledging his heart to one and his fleshto the other. Frank kills off the husband and adetective on the take, until Jeffrey is forced outof the closet and must kill Frank. The policerestore order, Sandy and Jeffrey get backtogether, Jeffrey’s father returns home, Dorothyis reunited with her son and a robin alights onthe kitchen windowsill — all signifying a long-awaited return to normalcy.Lynch’s film essay addresses several socialissues, but none so important as: Is violence,not morality, now the norm in contemporaryAmerica? An examination of three key scenes— the beating of Dorothy by Frank, the beatingof Dorothy by Jeffrey, and the beating of Jeffreyby Frank — may allow us to gain insight intothe sociology of (distorted) emotions.To be sure, when Jeffrey enters Dorothy’sapartment to spy on her, he is the moralcrusader — he wants to set the world arightand rid humanity of violence. Yet Jeffrey isunprepared for the senseless violence he sees.When Frank returns to Dorothy’s place, Jeffreyhides in the closet, quietly bearing witness toFrank's beating of Dorothy.When Frank orders Dorothy to spread herlegs and show him what she gives her hus¬band, Dorothy complies but wants to die. Onceon the floor, Frank gags her, attempts to feelher but cannot bring himself to do so, thenrepeatedly punches her saying: “Don’t look atme.” Frank hovers above her and comes in hispants.All the while the moral crusader hides in thecloset, refusing to intervene in something hehas no vocabulary for. Yet Jeffrey is as im¬potent as Frank, though for different reasonsJeffrey does not understand the rules, whileFrank makes the rules but knows he commandsthrough fear, leaving him to doubt the auth¬ enticity of human expression (why else wouldhe command Dorothy not to sing “BlueVelvet’’?).Ironically, in the moment Jeffrey commitshimself to act morally he becomes a convert toviolence. Although Jeffrey later rejects thisconversion, he nonetheless plays the game. Hewants Dorothy as much as Frank does — theonly difference being that Frank cannot divorcehimself from the past, while Jeffrey naivelyignores Dorothy's social history. His in¬experience leads Jeffrey to think the present isall there is to life.Does this explain Jeffrey's violence towardsDorothy the next night? No In complying withDorothy's wish to be beaten, Jeffrey loseshimself in the quest to possess his lovercompletely. What he does not yet recognizes isthat love, like violence, is never completeMen’s imagination simply exceeds the con¬creteness of his flesh and he is forever in¬complete In such a world man can neverrealize himself: he puts himself beyond himselfand therein lies the pain to life. Frustrated, manbeats those he cannot have. Violence is thusthe realization that life is full of dead-ends; it isnot an expression of instincts once repressedWhat confuses the issue, however, is theperception that violence is often seen as un¬ reflective. Jeffrey never thinks about beatingDorothy until he himself is beaten by Frank in awasteland Frank exclaims to Jeffrey that:“You're like me.” Music blares out into thenight, a blond dances lightheartedly. and Frankbeats Jeffrey into a state of unconsciousnessSadly, the blond comes to symbolize the futilityof constructing moral boundaries in a pluralisticsociety. After the beating though, Jeffrey rejectsthis alternative perception and comes to acceptmainstream reality as the only “true” reality.This explains the lollipop endingYet it is only fair to recognize that Jeffrey'sperception of mainstream reality is more fullydeveloped now that he has lived through a trialby fire. More importantly. Jeffrey comes torealize, as do we, that the modern individuallives morally when she makes emotional com¬mitments. Indeed Lynch casts intellectualcommitments in a bad light, implying that theydo not run deep enough to guarantee humandignity. Lynch, however, does not speak tomoral crusades that are rooted in sentimentAlthough difficult to take at times, I think BlueVelvet raises serious social issues in a way thatScorsese's Taxi Driver did a decade agoCertainly one might expect people to ponderover the one as long as they have ponderedover the other.GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 198S-11JAYAcross the dirty bluerippling in the windand lapping gently againsta warped, wooden ducklit by a green lightthat says “go,”my mind fluttersand lands on a white flower.I am a chameleon of many colors,camouflaging, changing,now white and simple.I ride the currents and spendafternoons on trips across the baywondering whether my white flowerwill have wilted.KURTZWhen the steamboatstruggles up the river,its whistle soundingshrilly to the jungle,I sit alone, most times and readof many things that catch my eyeabout the white.“Paradise Lost” is my favorite.Its pages are yellowedwith the imprint of my thumband slightly frayed where the rains fell.“Paradise Lost” is abouta white fallbecause Ham had not yetturned blackand white men ruled the sky.One man fell and created an empirefilled with imperious souls.Greed and lust and white menthis poem speaks to,and I read it at nightto the eyes in the darknessthat open wide with wonder.by Helen MarkeyBeginning at the beginning — often notbeginning at all. or simply wasting away in a bigwhite room.

You haddefeated everyone — you had proved yourselfto be perfect in every way. You bent to kiss thehusk of your own shoulder, to catch a ray ofsun in your mouth — making food of light and arooted, sprawling creature of the earth. So richand full. How was I to know you were suffocat¬ing in your self-love? When I reached out tomake contact, there was only empty space, asif you had suddenly become something com¬pletely abstract; you were present, but, unlikeme, yours was not a physical existence; rather,it was a mental one.

He set a newrecord for attempts in a game with 51.If Lee has 47 more attempts in hisfinal two games he will pass the mod¬ern record holder, Bruce Montella, incareer attempts. Lee’s 225 yards onthe ground is the fourth best of themodern era, ranking behind BobDickey’s 226 against Knox in 1984,Dale Fryar’s 229 in 1977, and BruceMontella’s 304 of last season.Part of the problem with the footballteam has been conservative play call¬ing. Take the Homecoming game; it isnot the mark of a surprising offense torun their fullback 51 times. On thirdand long it seems that the Statue ofliberty play or a draw has been calledmore often than a pass. After a whileopposing defenses begin to catch on. Itis a good thing that when the offensemust run the ball so often they at leasthave a superb runner in Lee.Off the field the football team hasset some pretty impressive marks.Seven members of the squad havebeen nominated for Academic All-American honors. Leading the list isoffensive lineman Jim Kapotas. Lastyear Kapotas earned District honors,and this year he is a candidate for aprestigious NCAA post graduatescholarship. He has already been ac¬cepted at the Pritzker School of Medi¬cine. The other nominees are seniors Ted Voorhees, John Joyce, MattSchaefer, and John Burrill, junior DanLerner, and sophomore Paul Haar.The Fall sports season is windingdown, and none too soon for thewomen’s athletic program. Thewomen suffered a dismal Autumn.Soccer, volleyball and tennis could notmuster even a handful of victoriesbetween them. At least basketballseason is just around the corner.Susan Brower and her team are look¬ing for a strong season in the firstseason of the post Gretchen Gates era.Despite the loss of the four time All-American, the women’s basketballteam should easily have another win¬ning season.The best record of any team thisFall is by the men’s soccer team. At 7-3-1 Coach De Silva leads the Chicagocoaching staff in victories for the 1986academic year.However, it does not look like CoachDe Silva will remain the winningestcoach of the year. Coach John Angelusand his men’s basketball team have astrong team returning, and are a goodbet to win the conference champion¬ship. The two big men are back, DaveWitt and Tom Lepp. Mike Clifford, anoutstanding guard, will be joined inthe backcourt by freshman Igal Lit¬ovsky, who was the leading highschool scorer in Illinois last season.The pivot position will be filled byTom Redburg. Redburg, who startedas a sophomore, and kept Chicagoclose in their battle against North¬western, took a year off from schoollast season.

Unfortunately for theMaroons, fine play by all five of theteam’s seniors could not overcomeNorth Central’s superior hitting.Chicago dropped the match 6-15, 12-15,13-15.The Maroons played tenacious de¬fense against North Central’s multi¬faceted attack, but had trouble keep¬ing the ball in bounds when a big hitwas needed to finish-off a rally. Sev¬eral service errors in crucial situa¬tions took the momentum away fromChicago just as they seemed on theverge of an upset victory.Senior Vivien Eschenbach saved oneof her best matches for her last. Herserving, hitting, and defense consist¬ently kept Chicago in the game. SetterMary Ishii also played well in her finalmatch for the Maroons.Chicago’s performance Tuesday wasespecially encouraging in light of theirpoor performance in the MACW NorthDivision Conference tournament lastweekend. Head Coach Rosalie Reschwas extremely disappointed with herteam’s last place finish. “There aren’tmany good things to say about thetournament,” she remarked. TheMaroons certainly started the tour¬nament on the wrong foot. They were caught in traffic on the way to LakeForest, and consequentially arrivedlate for their first match againstRipon College. “We were not emo¬tionally ready to play against Ripon,”stated Resch, “and I think that car¬ried over to all of our games on Fri¬day.” Ripon defeated the Maroons 15-6,15-5.The lowest of the low points of thetournament for Chicago was their 4-15,13-15 loss to Lawrence, perennially theweakest team in the conference. Afterthe Lawrence match, the Maroonswent on to lose 6-15, 5-15 to LakeForest and 5-15, 0-15 to St. Norbert. Inthe final match, a 9-15, 2-15 loss toBeloit, Resch benched her seniors inorder to give her underclassmen moreplaying experience for next year.Despite her team’s disappointingfinish this year, Resch is “optimistic”about the future of Chicago’s vol¬leyball program in the U.A.A. “Weneed to recruit another setter and abig hitter in order to be competitivenext year. Although (junior setter)Marilyn Craig did a good job for us,she’s a little too small for us to play a5-1. We need to bring in a freshmanwho can set so we can play a 6-2.” The“big hitter” Resch recruits will haveto fill the shoes of Senior Phyllis Wil¬liamson, an honorable mention selec¬tion to the MACW all conference team.Williamson, a middle hitter, has leadthe Maroon offense all season withpowerful hitting and solid blocking.HARPER FOODSFOOD FOR PIOPLI...NOT PROFIT!Tired of mediocre vegetables, bruised fruits,and tough, tasteless meats?Large food stores are forced to buy lower grade fruits, vegetables, and meats from foodwholesalers because of their high overhead.

Miller‘Sports ColumnistThe World Series finally ended thispast week, just in time for midtermsto begin. Now there will be no moreexcuses to teachers concerning a latepaper or overdue homework assign¬ment. We can all get back to workingevery night, or at least until collegebasketball begins. There are manytidbits to chew on during our collectiverecovery from the playoffs, though,and they are not the usual batchglamourous homerun hitters. LennyDykstra, the lightweight heavyweight,and Dave Henderson, the improbableheavyweight, come to mind immedi¬ately.But the clearest and most resound¬ing image of the Series is one of MartyBarrett. As the steady second base-men of the Red Sox. Barrett wasthroughout the playoffs a picture offlawless consistency. He was simplyoutstanding, and people have begun tonotice his all-around abilities. He wasthe Most Valuable Player of the play¬offs because he hit singles and doubleand drove in important runs, and hedid the same things in the Series. Hisaverage through the playoffs stands ata lofty .429.Under the spotlights of prime-timecameras, Barrett has displayed a va¬riety of underrated but no less im¬portant skills essential to the game ofbaseball. As his batting percentageindicates, one such skill is hitting 'emwhere they ain’t. Another is hitting’em where he wants. Proper baseballetiquette dictates that number twohitters move runners ahead of them sothat the big boys behind them can drive everybody home. Barrett hasperformed this unglamorous task withsystematic proficiency. In nearlyevery instance that called for him tohit the ball to right field, he did. Whena hit-and-run was on, he almost always slapped the ball through theright side. When there was a man onsecond, he invariably hit it to right.Maybe he didn’t drive in the run witha hit; he always increased his team’schances to score. He moved the run¬ners along so that others could movethem around. It was not Barrett’sfault that the Red Sox stranded somany men on base. The set-up mandid his job. And he made it look easyOne look at his batting stance toldyou where he intended to put the ball.He held his left foot forward and an¬gled toward first base, his right footback. His knees only slightly bent, hisbat still and his hands placed slightlyabove the knob, he told you where theball was going. He wasn’t up there topull the ball, and he didn't fool any¬body into thinking that he would. Hejust did it. He worked on it from thebeginning of the spring and executed itin the fall.He performed other little tasks withthe same determined consistency.Like turning the double play despitethe prospect of being smitten bysharpened silver cutlery. And receiv¬ing a cut-off throw to prevent an op¬ponent from advancing an extra base.In the shadow of larger team mates,Marty Barrett played with the con¬sistency of a computer and the in¬stincts of a well-trained bloodhound.Against the backdrop of an error-filledSeries his play stands out as a super¬lative delight.K SALI OATES10/29 th*U 11/4 861MBARK LIQUORS & WINE SHOPPE1214 East 53rd Street • In Kimbark Plaza 493-3355BERGHOFF6-12 oi BUS3/$1000INTRODUCTORY OFFER $769 »6‘* BUSCHCAS* Of 24$649HACKER-PSCHORRMG O* UGKT$3‘9X>ANN*Sa*tG RlfSUNGCHATEAU ST MICHELE *> -GOLD MEDAL WINNWFETZER CHENIN BLANC »-IOIHT MONDAVIFUME BLANC *Til aos DUBOISMERLOT -so -aos duvaiZINFANOEi so*DOMAINE CHANDONCHAMPAGNE OLD MILWAUKEECASE Of 2499$5$499$398$i 599$799$g99 pooiuGoestSANDERMAN RUBY PORT ».SPANISHDRY SACK SHERRY » ™HUNGARIANPREMIAT so -PAUl MASSONGAMAY ROSE sutDEWEY STEVENS , *CALIFORNIA COOLER . * $599S599$2*9$2’9$2*9$2”SPARKLING28—The Chicago Maroon—Friday, October 31, 19W> WOEOOEMTEWA ilt® aids® anWDIDKMlHIM® less Lnall IIWAA wOlll) §(U)lc)§3(£l32©watt© toll mu|>or®©T-Ihiyirgd[Mcojw/tsinniio: H Sfilh)Fdorstl IffismsMariams!5ta|D §>!) 3® U® Uif* ®gr) MmrMyi3® 3 ‘©©©on/© y®iyir jpQ©©®.* CIar5s Evert L'EoyiPstnn SUnxnvsrl®s. 3reS’Samsgg) as© ©ialw fcloktafegWant to write Maroon sports ?Come see Madelyn Ida Noyes, Rm 303THE RICHTER FUND FOR UNDERGRADUATERESEARCH IN THE COLLEGEThe Richter Fund to support undergraduateresearch is accepting research proposals forthe Winter and Spring quarters of 1987.Application forms are available in Harper241 - completed applications should besubmitted to the Assistant Dean of theCollege, Harper 241, no later than Friday,November 14.Proposals must contain a description of theproject and research method, an estimatedbudget indicating the quarter it is to beused, and a letter evaluating the proposalfrom a member of the Faculty.For research that requires the use of auniversity facility (e.g., laboratory), a letteragreeing to this use must be submitted byan appropriate member of the Faculty.Awards may range up to $1,000.

October 31.1986Trick or treat! That is precisely what we are trying to figure out.The Student Government all University Halloween party which isscheduled for this Friday certainly has all the elements of a treat.Student Government has opened its coffers even wider than usual,spending upwards of $8,000 to bring you a number of diversionsincluding a sock hop, pumpkin pie eating contests, and 2 dancebands. We certainly can not argue with anything that provides achance to escape from the tension inherent in this University’satmosphere.Even our cynical staff agrees that this party is a good thing in thatit demonstrates that Student Government actually does put ouractivities fees to good use sometimes. On an even more optimisticnote, it shows that groups like AOPI and Doc Films can worktogether for the benefit of the entire University community.But this is where the good news stops. For this Halloween partyalso has all the elements of being a big trick, a trick that StudentGovernment and the University is playing on us and on itself. Doyou remember back to last year when something called theLascivious Costume Ball was cancelled by University adminis¬trators? Do you remember that Student Government did little tosave one of the few traditions that is truly unique to this campus,which tries so hard to have a personality, just like real Universitieson the East Coast?It bothers us that the Student Government has tacked the“Uncostume” banner onto its ads for this party. This isn’t the LCB.LCB was a novelty. It showed this campus could have somecreativity, albeit in a rather perverse way. This is a Halloweenparty at which some people will wear scanty costumes. Not exactlya new idea, right?The entire affair reminds us of what happened when you wenttrick or treating in a really boring neighborhood as a kid. You wenthome with a bag full of apples and granola, but nothing reallyexciting, nothing gooey and sugary that would rot the teeth out ofyour head. Nothing truly sinful, which is what this campus needs attimes.Uncostume? Come on, SG, just say it — Party Naked!

There aretwo problems with this. One, only afew members of CAUSE were in at¬tendance. At its meeting the nightbefore. I’m told, having just learned ofthe CS forum, CAUSE had decided notto attend the meeting en masse, and tosend only a few people who wouldattempt to challenge the Contra rep¬resentatives with factual arguments.The vast majority of those who came(including me) were opposed to theContras but not members of CAUSE; Iwould say our principal reason forcoming was outrage over the fakeleaflets which appeared in huge quan¬tities all over campus the night beforethe forum, and latest in a series ofmalicious pranks against campusprogressives. The assumption by hourreporter that we were ‘‘CAUSEmembers” is simply wrong, the oneCAUSE member quoted in the newsstory has assured me that he did notconfirm — was not asked about — anysuch ‘‘fact” in his talk with the re¬porter. Two, the reason for the “dis¬ruption” was the refusal of CS peopleto answer a simple question about theorigins of the leaflet in question. In¬stead they called the forum to a veryquick halt, just 40 minutes after it hadstarted, and we tried (unsuccessfully)to insist on an answer. Why were theyso reluctant to comment on the leafletin a public forum?Your reporter writes that question¬ers of whom I was one, were“screaming.” This is simply false.Miller and White’s letter raisesmany questions. With their shoddymethod of argument, by innuendo andimplication, they suggest that the“disruption” was orchestrated: it oc-occurred “as if on cue,” they write. But it just doesn’t make sense. Whywould anyone intending to disrupt aforum wait until it was over? Whywould people intending to disrupt aforum sit quietly and listen and at¬tempt to discuss points of logic andfact with the speakers?Miller and White also argue by in¬nuendo and implication — withouthaving the guts to make a flat-outaccusation — that CAUSE producedthe leaflet. They say the fake leafletgave “valuable publicity” to CAUSEand constituted a “propagandistscoup” (which must be something likea propaganda coup) for the group.They say the fake leaflet went up thesame night as the poster for the VigilAgainst Apartheid and Racism, whichCAUSE endorsed, and that “everysingle one” of the Contra opponentshad a copy of the leaflet.Perhaps most interesting is thatthroughout this series of non se-quiturs, Miller and White never denyhaving made the leaflet themselves.They are clearly attempting to turn toevent into a propaganda coup for CS,attempting to paint progressive ac¬tivists as extremists who “scream atthe top of their lungs” and “disrupt”other people’s events.In fact, very few Vigil posters wereposted until Thursday. In fact, thefake leaflets went up the same nightthat CS’s official poster went upSomeone would have had to be mightyfast to get the fake leaflet up — es¬pecially in such huge quantities —without knowledge ahead of time. Infact, it was CAUSE members andother campus progressives who toredown the fake posters when they sawthem the next day. (That's why sev¬eral — though far from “every singleone” — had numerous copies of thefake leaflet.) Why didn't CS memberstear down the leaflets if they wereactually a malicious attempt to “hi¬jack” their own forum?Miller and White also fudge on thecontent of the leaflet in question —and again one is led to ask, why? Theysay that the poster “for all intents andpurposes reads, ‘CAUSE sponsors aforum on Contra atrocities in Nic¬aragua. Witnesses tell all!4 ” Why“for all intents and purposes”? Ob¬ viously, for their purposes. In fact, theposter was quite ingenious; in thetiniest letters, which appeared only assquiggles to anyone looking at theposter on a bulletin board, the realmessage was added: “(Join the)CAUSE (as Common Sense) sponsorsa forum on (Sandinasta. not) Contraatrocities. . .” In point of fact, theposter was an advertisement for theCS forum. A very strange advertise¬ment, but that’s what it was.There is no conclusive evidence asto who put up these strange posters.But for many reasons. I am convincedit is the work of CS. It certainlyreflects their mentality.What most convinces me of theirculpability is the modus operandi ofthe group. They thrive not on publiclyorganizing toward any positive goalsbut on sneak attacks on individualswhich tend strongly toward the per¬sonal and vindictive. Their officialposter announcing the forum at¬tempted — again, through cowardlvinnuendo and implication — to linkCAUSE and a well-respected U of Cprofessor with “Communists” in theiropposition to the Contras. (By thislogic, of course, the majority of theU.S. people, which opposes U.S. aid tothe Contras, would be Communists.)The poster used the same method —and. interestingly, the same typeface— as a pirate poster last year whichfalsely linked a campus anti-apartheidactivist with the Communist Partyand which, again, CS members im¬plied they had nothing to do with whilenever explicitly denying involvement.Through the entire history of this in¬sidious group they have shown a pref¬erence for singling out the most activecampus progressives for ridicule andslander. Their mud-slinging slandersheet, the Midway Review falls milesshort of the journalistic standards fol¬lowed by previous conservative pub¬lications on this campus (save, ofcourse, the scandalous Patriot). Inshort, CS’s approach to political workis quite simply unprincipled.It is, of course, historically thefunction of anti-Communism to in¬timidate anyone who might speak upin any way against the status quo.Though they represent the interests ofThe < the very powerful, CS acts like it is anembattled and endangered minority,thus their shrillness and hysteria. Byattacking the most prominent campusprogressives, they seek to discourageothers from becoming active and ris¬king similar attack. (Similarly, onanother scale, the Contras attack themost active peasants as well asteachers and health workers, in orderto disrupt and discourage participa¬tion in the social programs whichconstitute the core of the NicaraguanRevolution.)Miller and White’s letter exhibitsthis same preference for personal at¬tack in singling out Sahotra Sarkarand John Conlon for some kind ofresponsibility for the “disruption.”(Again, the charge is only by in¬nuendo.) Unfortunately for them,Sarkar was in the back of the meetingroom and played no role in the ques¬tioning at the meeting; he is singledout. as he has been before, because asa forthright and consistent — andrelentlessly logical — opponent ofapartheid he is one of CS’s favoritetargets. In none of numerous attackson Sarkar has CS ever engaged hisarguments; this attack is puieiygratuitous. Conlon, who joined thequestioners after CS leaders refused torespond, had insisted on politenessana civility during the forum in dis¬cussions which preceded it. He is oneof the most principled political ac¬tivists on this campus, with a co;mitment to rational and respect Jdiscussion of issues which was dt .-onstrated throughout the forun . .dfor a long, long time beforeLikewise, CAUSE has been exenain its careful and calm devotion to ... ■discussion of issues, and in its patientwork at public outreach and eauttion, which stands in stark contra,the cowardly, unprincipled, juveitactics of CS members. CS’s tactic* ofpersonal attack, slander, and in¬timidation mus, be condemneu bypeople of every political stripe whovalue the open and honest debatewhich is so necessary to the practiceof democracy.Sincerely,Curtis Blacklicago Maroon—Friday, October 31,1986—31■■ViewpointsSelfish Dems costing party the SenateBy David BroderMaroon Editor-in-chief 1948SEATTLE—Four months ago, whena fund raiser for former representa¬tive Brock Adams, the Democraticchallenger to Sen. Slade Gorton (R-Wash.), was seeking money on theeast coast, he was told that many ofthe traditional donors in the New Yorkarea were already “tapped out.’’ Theyhad reached the maximum $25,000they can give federal candidates, inpart because of “the heavy demandsof the Senate incumbents in the three-state area.”The fund raiser knew that Sen.Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.) hadbeen hitting financial sources for his1986 campaign, though Dodd facedonly nominal opposition. But hecouldn’t figure out why New York andNew Jersey should be a problem,since none of the three Democraticsenators from those states was up forre-election this year.“I thought I was getting the run¬around,” he said. But he was not.Between January of 1985 and July ofthis year (when they filed their latestreports), Sens. Frank R. Lautenbergand Bill Bradley of New Jersey andDaniel P. Moynihan of New York hadraised more than $1.6 million for racesthat will not take place until 1990 (forBradley) or 1988 (for the other two).They took almost as much from polit¬ ical-action committees and individualcontributors for future campaigns asDodd did for his 1986 race.In a year when Republican controlof the Senate is at stake and Demo¬cratic challengers like Adams aretypically being outspent by a 2-1margin, incumbent Democrats whoseraces are two to four years away aresitting on more than $7.5 million ofcampaign cash, siphoned out of thecontribution pool by their early fund¬raising efforts.It’s obviously a problem,” said Sen.George J. Mitchell (D-Maine),chairman of the Democratic Sen¬atorial Campaign Committee. “Manypeople who have been asked for theseearly contributions have told me, ‘Youought to ask people who are running infuture years to delay their solic¬itations.’ But it’s difficult to ask sen¬ators to put aside their personal in¬terests.”Maybe so, but those personal inter¬ests in some instances clearly damageparty prospects. To be fair, the Dem¬ocrats are not specially selfish. The 31Republican senators who are not run¬ning this year have amassed cam¬paign treasuries of $7.7 mil¬lion—$200,000 more than the 35 Dem¬ocratic incumbents in the 1988-1990election classes. But their fund raisingdoes not really cost Republican col¬leagues or challengers who are run¬ning this year. The Republican Senatorial Cam¬paign Committee had money on handto fund every one of the 34 Senateraces up to the maximum allowed bylaw. Mitchell’s committee, by con¬trast, hit its legal maximum contribu¬tion in less than half the states, andmany challengers like Adams havebeen living a hand-to-mouth existencefor months. In at least four stateswhere underfinanced Democraticchallengers are waging competitiveraces, Democratic incumbents havebank accounts conceivably largeenough to make a difference in theoutcome.In Alabama, where Rep. Richard C.Shelby (D) is challenging Sen. Jere¬miah Denton (R), Sen. Howell T.Heflin (D) had $455,756 on hand. InGeorgia, where Rep. Wyche Fowler,Jr., (D) is up against Sen. Mack Mat¬tingly (R), Sen. Sam Nunn (D) had abank account of $591,456. And inLouisiana, where Rep. John B. Breaux(D) is opposing Rep. W. Henson Moore(R) for the seat of retiring Sen. Rus¬sell B. Long (D), the other Democraticsenator, J. Bennett Johnston (D), had$594,059 in his account.Virtually all these funds were leftover from their 1984 campaigns. Thethree senators—who don’t run againuntil 1990—have done little if any per¬sonal fund raising in the past 18months.But the same cannot be said about Sen. Quentin N. Burdick (D-N. D.)North Dakota has a hot Senate contestthis year, with state tax commissionerKent Conrad (D) in a close race,despite the financial advantage en¬joyed by Sen. Mark Andrews (R)While Conrad was scrambling for dol¬lars, Burdick, 78, used his incumbencyadvantage to raise $156,540 and buildhis campaign treasury to $286,712against a possible primary- and gen¬eral-election challenge in 1988.Mitchell pointed out that incumbentsof both parties try to discouragestrong opposition by establishing areputation for financial in-vulnerability. Knowing the financialpuniness of their national party,Democratic senators feel they need ahead start on personal fund raising.Sen. Howard Metzenbaum (D-Ohio),an obvious Republican target for 1988,leads all the non-1986 Democrats witha $1.2 million campaign treasury. Butsix-figure sums have been squirreledaway by ten out-of-debt Democratsrunning in 1988 and five who don’t rununtil 1990. Sen. Joseph R. Biden, Jr. ofDelaware, who is a 1988 presidentialhopeful, raised $624,800 in the 18months ending in June—ostensibly fora 1990 race in tiny Delaware.Many of these men are potentialcommittee chairmen if the Democratswin the Senate this year. You have towonder how high a priority they reallyattach to that party victory.LETTERSCommon Sense in MaroonA news editor under seigeTo the Editor:The members of Common Sensewould like to thank the Maroon and itsreporter Mr. Schwartz for presentingfair, balanced coverage of our recentmeeting which was disrupted bymembers of the campus left. Justreporting on what actually happenedwas a service to the University com¬munity, and we appreciate that.Regarding Mr. Ducey’s silly letterlast Friday: if Mr. Ducey had both¬ered to read the Maroon he wouldhave discovered that Common Sensehad nothing to do with the misleadingposters which resulted, incidentally, inthe outrageous disruption of ourmeeting. Common Sense is interestedin attracting people willing to seri¬ously discuss the Nicaraguan issue,not rabid leftists shouting phantasmictales of Contra atrocities (an accuratecharacterization of the people attrac¬ted by the misleading poster).Secondly, the fantasy in which Mr.Ducey indulges regarding CommonSense’s shame at being caught sym¬pathizing with the Contra forces issubstantially dissipated by the fact that we distributed some 300 posters,brightly colored red, with the name ofour group prominently displayed. Weare proud to be associated with peoplefighting oppression everywhere.Finally, our linkage of CAUSE, JohnCoatsworth, and Communists is by nomeans unique. Refer to the back coverof last Tuesday’s Maroon Mr. Ducey,and you will find a similar “linkage:”all three signed the “No war in Nic¬aragua” ad. To us, CAUSE andCoatsworth’s agreement with the 20thcentury’s most successful proponentsof totalitarianism on the question ofNicaraguan tyranny is most signif¬icant.For students who wish to furtherexamine conservative ideas, CommonSense will be hosting Mr. Chris Alariofrom Accuracy in Academia, who willdiscuss recent cases of free speechviolations by the left on college cam¬puses. This meeting will begin at 6 pmIda Noyes West Lounge, ThursdayOctober 30.Sincerely,Tom AntonyPresident, Common Sense To the Editor:As students of the Committee ofPublic Policy Studies we would like toclarify a few of the points that HowardUllman made last Tuesday in his ar¬ticle on the future of Public Policy. Wefeel that the information presentedwas out dated and showed little recentinvestigation into the present status ofCPPS.For example, it is true that lastspring there were 83 students, but hisfall there are 90. It is also true that thefive member committee that issuedthe report was split, but the split was3-2 in favor of the establishment of aschool. Furthermore, since the com¬mittee’s favorable decision lastspring, the Administration has made aconsiderable effort to obtain thenecessary funding for the transitionfrom a committee to a school. In fact,CPPS has recently been pledged asubstantial endowment which will bedelivered upon the formation of aSchool of Public Policy at the Univer¬sity of Chicago. This has dramaticallychanged the outlook for CPPS andtherefore, contrarv to the old infor¬mation discussed in last Tuesday’s article, our future looks promising.Sincerely,Kristin NeymarcDavid StagmanChristine M. FreidelBrian BrukerJerry EvansAnn KelleyEditorial replyThe Tuesday, October 21, article onPublic Policy mentioned the 3-2 splitin the committee and the fact that themajority were in favor of the es¬tablishment of a school. The article inno way implied that the odds wereagainst the forming of a school, nordid it claim that the Committee washaving difficulty in building an en¬dowment. The information was gath¬ered during the week of the article’spublication and was up-to-date. As tothe increase in the size of the Com¬mittee by seven students, I do not feelthat the absence of this information inthe article misrepresented the pros¬pects of the Committee.Howard UllmanNews Editor32—The Chicago Maroon—Friday, October 31,1986OUR FAMOUS STUFFED PIZZA IN THE PANIS NOW AVAILABLE IN HYDE PARKCocktails • Pleasant Dining • Pick-up"Chicago’s best pizza!" - Chicago Magazine, March 1977"The ultimate in pizza!" — New York Times, January 19805311 S.
