Steven¬son, who did not show up, isrunning on the independentticket for governor of Il¬linois. Howlett is Stevenson’srunning mate as lieutenantgovernor.Currie, a state representa¬tive from the 26th Districtwho is up for re-election thisTuesday and who is one ofStevenson’s deputy cam¬paign managers, led off theafternoon’s speeches by urg¬ing voters to choose Steven¬son for the governor they “can trust for a change.’’Describing incumbent JimThompson’s ten years in of¬fice as “not a disaster’’ but“not hot,” Currie cited fig¬ures for failing job-creation,educational, and humanservices programs under theThompson years and outlinedStevenson’s proposals forreform in these areas.Currie quipped that Ste¬venson “is not running forgovernor so that he can flyaround Illinois skies with astate air force that is...ofcourse the envy of mostThird World countries,” andthat Stevenson’s plan foreconomic development willnot begin with “archi¬tecturally interesting items”that has turn out “to havecost... about twice what itwas originally scheduled tocost,” referring to the Stateof Illinois Center. Currie alsospoke glowingly of Steven¬son’s “gutsy” stand to run onthe third party label in protest to “being tied to a fol¬lower of Lyndon LaRouche”who was running on theDemocratic ticket.Senator Paul Simon, whovisited the U of C last yearas speaker at a WoodwardCourt Lecture, said that hewas speaking on behalf ofcandidates but also “beyondcandidates for a cause,”stressing that “there arepeople who do care..who be¬lieve we can move on theproblems in our soci¬ety...(that) by and large we(the Democrats) are thepeople...who have a vision onhow we can build a bettertomorrow.”Responding to the recentpublic opinion polls that saySecretary of State Schultzto address conferenceBy Anna RentmeestersContributing WriterMonday, November 17,US Secretary of StateGeorge Schultz will give anaddress in Mandel Hallduring a day-long confer¬ence entitled “A Search forSolutions; USA-USSR.”The conference, whichwill be sponsored by theInternational House and theChicago Sun-Times Forum,will consist of four paneldiscussions followed bySchultz’s address. All paneldiscussions will be mode¬rated by Bill Curtis fromCBS News.This conference is thesecond one of its kind, thefirst such conference hav¬ing been held in 1980. Bothconferences were organizedby Mary Ward Wolonskv, amember of the Board ofGovernors, International House, and a member ofthe Board of Trustees of theUniversity.A spokesperson for theconference, Harriet Clowes,said that the idea for theconference was motivatedby “a conviction that aninformed public needs toknow the areas of conflictbetween the USA and theUSSR in order to make re¬sponsible decisions aboutthe area.”Tickets for the conferenceand the Schultz address arefree and can be obtained bysigning up at InternationalHouse. Tickets will be givenaway on a first-come, first-served basis. For a $10 fee,tickets are also availablefor a buffet lunch with thepanelists and for an addi¬tional $40, dinner and cock-tails with SecretarySchultz. U of Cthat Thompson will defeatStevenson, Simon recalledhis own victory and that ofHarry Truman, victories notperdicted by the polls on theeve of the elections. Simonconceded that the Stevensonrace has been “tight andtough,” but expressed op¬timism about it. IntroducingStevenson’s running mate,Simon praised Howlett, whoresigned his judgeship to runas lieutenant governor, as“by all counts a superiorcircuit judge.”Howlett recounted hisdecision to run with Steven¬son and the campaign’sstruggle with the LaR-ouchies. He criticizedThompson for failing to pro¬vide “predictable, reliablegovernment’’; rather,Howlett said, Thompson hasgiven Illinois a governmentcontinued on page 14 BARBIE MCCLUSKYThe Symphony gave a special full-costume performance,“Dances of Death” to celebrate Halloween.Limit on research animals foughtBv Andy ForsaithStaff WriterThe U of C has announcedits opposition to a proposedcity ordinance which wouldlimit the availability of citypound animals for research.The U of C and three otheruniversities and medicalschools in the area issued astatement saying that theordinance would place“costly, unnecessary, andundesirable impediments inthe path of biomedical re¬search.” The statement de¬fends the humane use ofanimals “by qualified per¬sonnel and under stringentfederal review and controlprocedures” as essential tofinding cures for diseasesand for training doctors.The ordinance would phaseout the sale of ownerlessanimals to research in¬ stitutions over the next fiveears. Currently schools canuy unclaimed animals for$50 each. Animals bred spe¬cifically for research cancost as much as $350.According to David Rosen.U of C associate vice-president for public affairs,the University does not at thepresent time use animalsfrom the Chicago pound, butdoes buy animals throughlicensed dealers from poundsacross the country. Rosensaid the University opposesthe ordinance because it is apart of a “clear strategy” byanimal rights groups to stopthe sale of pound animals forresearch and teaching na¬tionwide.The “pound seizure” pro¬vision is one part of an ani¬mal care and control or¬dinance “which the Univer¬ sity can support 95% of,”said Rosen. It includes morecomprehensive pet licensingand a municipal spay-neuterprogram. Animal controlordinances have been beforethe City Council for yearsThis latest one was the pro¬duct of an advisory grouporganized by Alderman NilesSherman and composed ofrespresentatives of biomedical institutions in the cityand representatives of ani¬mal rights groups.Rosen testified on behalf ofthe four universities at apublic hearing in early Oc¬tober. A second hearing onthe ordinance will be heldNovember 13 Rosen said theUniversity will continue tomake its view’s known asthese hearings and to al¬dermen when it comes up fora vote in the Council.SG to vote on Playboy speakerBy Mona EIXaggarNews EditorStudent Government (SG)members will vote nextThursday whether to bringback James Peterson ofPlayboy magazine to speakon “Love and Sex.”Peterson, who spoke herelast year to a group of ap¬proximately 250 at MandelHall (which holds up to 1000),will return in February for aValentine’s Day “extra¬vaganza” if the StudentGovernment ActivitiesCommittee (SGAC) has itsway. Although the SG Fi¬nance Committee (SGFC)zeroed the budget at theirOctober 22 meeting, SGACCo-Chairman, Raj Nandaand Adam Shepard, tried toget a two-thirds majority tooverturn SFGC’s decision atthe Assembly meeting Oc¬ tober 23. At that Assemblymeeting, voting appeared tobe along gender lines. Onehundred percent of the fe¬male SG members votedagainst Peterson and SGAC.SGAC was two votes shortof the two-thirds majoritythey needed to overturn theSGFC refusal to fund Peter¬son on the first vote. How¬ever, a majority could not bereached to pass the measureeither, failing by three votes.In the third and final voted ofthe meeting, SGAC failed toget the two-thirds majorityto overturn again, so the votewas tabled until thisThursday’s meeting.The issues at hand seem tobe deeper than just JamesPeterson, but they also in¬clude some objections to theman himself. According toSGFC Chair Tim Hansen, the SGFC’s decision was basedon the fact that “it’s bringingback the exact same personunder the exact same title.Most of the student body isback from last year. We stillhave about half the businessschool, half the law’ school,and about three-fourths ofthe undergraduates. Allthose people either saw itlast year or chose not to.”Shepard, however, dis¬agrees with this reasoning.He explained that the lasttime Peterson came here, itwas over a long weekendwhen many students wenthome. “W^ want to have himback when everyone can seehim,” he explained. Regard¬less, he said, “it’s bringingback a success.”However, this is exactlywhat Bill McDade, SGcontinued on page 14 CDAFL-CIO pickets Jackson Shore Apartments■ . .. , an- “Our workers have been with%-ontributing WriterOutside of the Jackson ShoreApartments at 5490 South Shore Drivea strike has been in progress sinceOctober 4. The strikers are from Local25 of the Services Employees Inter¬national Union, (SEIU) AFL-CIO. Thedispute between the picketers and theJackson Shore Apartments Corpora¬tion centers on a jurisdictional mis¬representation by the ApartmentCorporation.On September 15, 1986, fourdoormen of local 25 received lettersterminating their employment withthe Jackson Shore Apartments afterSeptember 30. The letter was signedby the treasurer of the ApartmentCorporation Board, Milton Lefton.TTiis letter also signalled an end tocontract negotiations with local 25,negotiations which had been in prog¬ress since November 31,1985. The four doormen were replaced with workersfrom Around the Clock Security. Ac¬cording to John H. Stamps, businessrepresentative for local 25, theJackson Shore Corporation claimsthat these workers are represented byLocal 73 of the SEIU. Because theJackson Shore Apartments is out ofthe jurisdiction of local 73, Stampsbelieves that the present doormen arenot union workers.In 1984, the presidents of local 73and local 25 agreed, in effect, that 5490South Shore Drive, as well as otherarea buildings, are in the jurisdictionof local 25 and that Services Employ¬ees in these buildings would be repre¬sented by local 25. This agreementwas accepted by the President ofSEIU. The SEIU Executive Boardacknowledged the jurisdictions of thetwo locals as recently as July 1986 andthe jurisdiction agreement is still ineffect. Then, a little over a month ago,Shoreland hosts trick-or-treatersBy Sean BellContributing WriterLast Thursday the Shoreland playedhost to about 45 trick-or-treaters fromKozminski Grade School.Alpha Phi Omega (APO), the newservice fraternity on campus, spon¬sored the project. Approximately halfof the first- through third-graders whoparticipated live at or below the pov¬erty level, and none of them enjoy acompletely safe neighborhood inwhich to trick or treat.APO members put up flyers in theShoreland that explained the projectand asked people to take part. Theresidents were asked to tape up apicture of a jack-o-lantern on theirdoor if they were participating andsimply provide enough candy for fiftykids. To make it easier for the Shore-land residents, APO also sold candy inthe lobby for the two days prior to theevent. Said APO president Sonny Garg,“The Shoreland people came out inhordes...it was awesome!” He es¬timated that seventy percent of thestudents living in the Shoreland tookpart. The kids go so much candy, headded, that their plastic pumpkinsoverflowed and they had to go getplastic bags.The children met at Pierce Towerand rode the C bus to the Shoreland,where they were led around in smallgroups by twenty-one APO volunteers.About eight o’clock the parents pickedup the majority of the kids, while APOmembers took about fifteen home.Garg said APO will probably host asimilar event next year. They wouldlike to see it expanded to include otherresidence halls, and possibly othergrade schools as well, he added. Hefelt that based on the overwhelmingsuccess of this year’s project, a largerone should be relative easy to organ¬ize. the Jackson Shore Apartments ap¬parently “ignored” this agreement,fired the local 25 workers and replacedthem with men from Around the ClockSecurity. Around the Clock Securityhas a contract with local 73 in build¬ings in local 73’s jurisdiction.“There is no controversy between us(local 73) and local 25,” affirmedHarry Kurschenbaum, the presidentof local 73. He expressed bewilder¬ment at the fact that there are strikersat the Jackson Shore Apartments.Kurschenbaum confirmed that local 73has a contract with Around the ClockSecurity in buildings in local 73’s ju¬risdiction. Contractors can place em¬ployees in buildings at their own dis¬cretion and in this case, since theworkers are in a building outside oflocal 73’s jurisdiction, the controversyis most likely between the contractor,the building and local 25 rather thanbetween the two locals.“The issues are refusal to bargain ingood faith by the employer, and theemployer’s notice to our membersthat they were to be fired promptly,”wrote Stamps in a memo that wasmailed to the presidents of two localunions to help get local support for thestrike. According to Stamps the newworkers are getting paid much lessthan the local 25 workers. ‘Our workers have been with theJackson Shore Cooperative Apart¬ments for a long time,” commentedStamps. “In one case they worked forten years, and in another case eightyears.” Local 25 represents doormenin buildings throughout the South Side.At this time, Jackson Shore Apart¬ments Corp. is the only employer thatlocal 25 has a dispute with.Local 25 staged a successful strike afew years ago against 7447 SouthShore Drive. In that strike, fivedoormen were let go but were laterreinstated with full contracts. Stampssuggested that the community couTdshow support for the strikers by mail¬ing Milton Lefton at the Jackson ShoreApartments and complaining aboutthe treatment of local 25 workers.Unfortunately, the doorman is unableto connect callers with Lefton.When asked whether the JacksonShore Apartments had any ties withthe University of Chicago, Mr. Stampsresponded “Not to my knowledge.”According to Sandra Smith, a secret¬ary in the office of Real Estate Oper¬ations at the U of C, the building is notassociated with the University ofChicago.Lefton was unable to be reached forcomment.CAPS starting Job Search GroupA Job Search Group for ABD’sand Ph.D.’s in the non-academicjob market will begin meeting onNovember 10 to 4:00 pm.

Richard Luecke,director of the Religion and UrbanAffairs Community Renewal Society.The respondents were Howard Stan-back, deputy director of strategicplanning at the Mayor’s Office ofEmployment and Training, Gary Or-field, Professor in the Departments ofPolitical Science and Education, andPatricia Morgan, associate director ofChicago United.Leucke spoke about the decline anddeath of neighborhoods as theirmembers lose their jobs to mecha¬nization. “Modern machines andchemicals have taken people off theland,” he said. “They have driventhem to seek work in the cities where“little firms get big and move out,devastating the community.” Thisprocess creates a widening sector ofunemployment.According to Luecke, there havebeen three historic responses tounemployment and the decline ofcommunities. Besides the labormovement, which, he said, had littleeffect on the unemployed, there werethe civil rights movement and publicpolicy and support services. The civilrights movement “opened up pos¬sibilities” for many unemployed,Luecke said, but “it has recently lostmomentum and direction.” Publicsupport services, while essential, didnot solve the problem. “Even at theirheight, less than half the unemployedfound work and no more than one-fifthhad growth jobs.”Luecke stressed the need for morecommunity involvement. It is im¬portant to “create community ac¬tivity, not passivity,” he said.For Luecke, religious congregationsare well placed to provide this com¬munity involvement because they“form a bridge between the social and the business world.” He gave as anexample a church project that fixedparish houses and gave a group ofyoung people the necessary skills tobecome self-employed by repairingprivate homes. According to Luecke,it is frequently necessary to createjobs in this way because “not enoughjobs are available in every neigh¬borhood to employ all its youth.”Although Stanback agreed withLuecke’s emphasis on community-based action, he stressed that gov¬ernment involvement is necessary.However, he added, “It has beenfrustratingly difficult to link govern¬ment job training programs with jobsthat are actually available and givethe employee a chance to advance.”Although his program places “tenthousand people,” he said, twenty totwenty-five percent of them are stilleligible for (the same) program, stilllow-income. Seventy percent of theyouths are (earning less than) fivedollars an hour in jobs with low mo¬bility. Older youth have five to six jobsat the same wage then drop out (of themarket place) because they are notgetting anywhere.”He also emphasized that job¬training and creation cannot be left tothe market. “The direction of theeconomy is toward a growing sector ofunemployment,” he said.While Orfield agreed with the twoprevious speakers that we “shouldcheer grass-roots organizing,” hestressed that the problem is “too big”to be solved exclusively bycommunity-action. “We shouldremember that we must deal with thelarger social problems at a higherlevel,” he said. “There are thirteenthousand school drop-outs in Chicago;these are people with no economicfunction. Forty-five percent of non¬white students are isolated from theeconomy” and from “the higher ed¬ucation which they need to get thosejobs the market is creating.”Morgan also focused on the lack ofeducation that keeps many people unemployed. She suggested that aplan of bringing students up to grade-level in English and math, givinggroup-guidance in learning the re¬sponsibility that a job requires, andhands-on training with up-tp-dateequipment and computers be adopted.At the end of the school year, thosestudents with a 95% attendance ratewhose academic performance hadimproved should be given summerjobs in the area for which they havebeen trained.Morgan said that this program hadbeen tested at a High School in Laun-dale. At this predominantly black andHispanic high school, 60% of the en¬tering freshmen read below grade-Thomas Bartuska was named theSolon E. Summerfield Scholar of theYear last spring by his brothers in PhiKappa Psi,Of the twenty-one members of thefraternity, Bartuska earned the an¬nually-awarded honor along with acash award of one hundred dollars.The Scholar of the Year award, es¬tablished several years ago bywealthy alumnus Solon E. Sum¬merfield, is an endowment fund thatrecognizes excellent scholarship. Thedecision, according to Phi Kappa PsiPresident Tom Oko, is based “whollyon academic records.” Bartuskaadded that “all-around involvementwith fraternity activities” is also con¬sidered in the process. Bartuska hasdemonstrated strong leadership qual¬ities and contributed a great deal ofhis time to Phi Kappa Psi, factors thatenabled him to win the award avail¬able in each of the ninety chapters ofthe fraternity.Bartuska's standing qualifies himfor a final overall judgement for Out¬standing Scholar of the Year and firstand second runner-up awards. These level...65% of the students fail one ormore subjects each year. 55% drop outof school. In the program’s third yearthere were 344 students enrolled in it.“Of these, only four dropped out.Daily attendance improved from 75%in the school overall to 91% in theprogram. The students’ grade pointaverages improved and 200 went on towork, which means they had a 95%attendance rate and no academicfailures.” According to Morgan, “onlynine of the students received an un¬satisfactory rating from their super¬visors. Many of their supervisors didnot know the students’ backgroundsand were surprised when they weretold.”placements are accompanied bychecks for $3,000. $2,000, and $1,000,respectively.A first-year medical student, Bar¬tuska has achieved honors in variouswell-rounded areas. These include be¬ing on the Dean’s List, membership inthe Maroon Key Society, and pre¬sidency of the Commuting StudentAssocation.

November 4.1986—5Jolt image jarrs;Caffeine,sugar create funBy Alexandra ConroyFeatures Editor“Our main point is to emphasize the fun-and-theentertainment side of soft drinks because that’swhat we think they were created for,” CJ Rappexplained. Rapp developed Jolt Cola whose can,with lightening bolt and letters askew, proudlyproclaims the drink’s selling point. “All the sugarand twice the caffeine.” The can’s backgroundcolor is pink, indicative of the product’s position asthe youngest child in an established family. “Wedidn’t want to reinvent the coloring system,”Rapp said. The company settled for a variation onthe traditional cola-red'used by Coke and Pepsi.The lightening bolt’s yellow adds a “bold andbrassy” effect.But if Jolt is from the old family, it’s beengenetically improved. Other colas have 2.9 to 3milligrams of caffeine per fluid ounce. Jolt boastssix, 2.2 mg higher than Mountain Dew, the nexthighest soft drink, but still only about one-third theamount in coffee. As in coffee, the caffeine in colasis a natural component of the cola bean used forflavoring. However, in perfecting the flavor, someof the caffeine is lost. (Not all, since more must beremoved to produce the caffeine-free varieties ofdrinks.) Coke, Pepsi, and other market brandsreplace a part of the lost caffeine since thatelement is responsible for the colas “clarity andbite.” Jolt simply replaces more than its com¬petitors.Extra caffeine has been the most emphasizedcharacteristic of Jolt, but Rapp also explained theimportance of the “all the sugar” phrase. Othersoft drinks are sweetened with “high fructose cornsyrup and/or sucrose.” According to Rapp, pro¬ducts so labeled, rely too heavily on the formercomponent. “There is not one grain of sugar inCoke or Pepsi,” a perfectly legitimate contentgiven the phraseology. “Jolt is the only soft drinkVoiceof theAnti-JoyceJames JoyceNo newtriumph hereBy Joe SchmitReview ColumnistReview of The Sports of KingsTriumphMCA RecordsCanadian power-trio Triumph has released an¬other album, The Sport of Kings. With this albumthey have begun to lose their earthiness and rawenergy and are sounding more like Journey thanLed Zeppelin (not a step in the right direction).Triumph has always had the disadvantage thatone can understand all the words. This was nevera problem with Deep Purple or Aerosmith, whichis why they’ve never been referred to even aspseudo-intellectual. Triumph, though, always runsthe risk that corny or plain bad lyrics might stickout and alienate or bore the listener. They ran thatrisk here, and lose. Many of the lyrics are silly,corny or “inspirational” as on “Take a Stand.”A few songs are good, hard rock tunes in theTriumph tradition. “Tears in the Rain,” whichopens the album, has a strong bass and heavysound. It is every bit as good as “When the LightsGo Down.” “Play With Fire” and “What Rules MyHeart.” Both have imaginative and enjoyableguitar work.Triumph has added a new dimension to theirmusic that really hurts. It is the harmony.Whether on “Hooked on You” in which Rik and Giltrade lyrics, or on “Somebody’s Out There” wherethey are backed by a full chorus, the extraharmony refines their sound and puts their audi¬ence to sleep. The harmony and cleaned up vocalsare worst on “Just One Night,” which could havebeen sung by Lionel Richie (also not a good sign).If you’ve got all of their albums, well, I can’tstop you from buying this one, just to check. But ifTriumph is just another hard rock group amongmany, save your money and hope they don’t playtoo much new stuff in concert at the RosemontHorizon on Nov. 26.6—The Chicago Maroon—Tuesday, November 4, 1986 in the United States sweetened entirely withsugar,” he continued. This is important for Rappbecause “Sugar is a proven substance. It’s THEpremium sweetener.” Unlike saccharin or nutra-sweet, with actual or possible side effects, thedangerous aspects of sugar are well-known andrelatively mild. “When you eat a great deal youwill gain a few pounds.”Realizing that “We live in a time when it’s notunusual to go to the store and find people readingthe ingredient labels,” Rapp does not see Jolt’sadvertising slant as a great risk. He feels ahealthy soft drink is a theoretical impossibilityand Jolt has nostalgic charm. “It’s closer to thecolas of yesteryear...much richer and heavier.”The product, in fact, has the endorsement of theOld Cola Drinkers of America, a group whichprotested the historic New Coke experiment. Suchexperts know what has changed since fountaindrinks and mourn the lack of sugar and caffeine.Rapp is of the opinion that when informed, evenlaymen...“would be angry when they knew whathad been taken away...It’s different for the caf-feine-free/sugar-free drinks, but companies havecheapened the regular product and cheated theconsumer.” According to the entrepreneur, salesof the “-free” varieties have declined and 76% ofsales are the regular sodas.Rapp’s father began with a Canada Dry fran¬chise in 1932 and over a span of 30 years the familyexpanded to operate seven franchise locations tomarket 7-Up, Dr. Pepper, and Sunkist as well asCanada Dry. But since Colas constituted 65% ofsales, the Rapps homed in on that flavor market.“We decided to come out with our own and put init what we though colas should have.” The ideawent on the drawing board in 1975. Two and one-half years and 114 samples later, the Jolt formulawas established. The Jolt Cola Corporation ac¬quired local production/bottling franchises such asthe Canfield distributor in the Chicago area. The product is naturally popular around college cam¬puses, not only as a novel rival of No-Doze, but inmore conventional forms. A rum and Jolt com¬bination was christened the “Jumper Cable” byCornell students. After the 13-25 year age bracket,Jolt is most popular with the 45-and-up group.Jolt made an appearance on the David Let-terman Show, a giant step forward for the cola’spopularity. “Normally Letterman takes a sip ortwo to taste the product,” Rapp recalled that withJolt, “He chugged one, made a famous DavidLetterman face, opened another, chugged it, andtold the cameraman he would shoot twoshows...You couldn’t ask for a better promotion.”Jolt has spots on national television and radionetworks. “There are two different themes for thecommercials. One is to emphasize the fun-in-soft-drinks aspect. The other is the more ‘harsh,direct’ approach;” that is, it emphasizes the in¬gredients. The latter is used especially in Canadawhere the advertising slant is “Dare to want itall.” Jolt is currently negotiating a contract in theBritish Isles.In addition to expanding its geographical mar¬ket, Jolt hopes to branch out into other mer¬chandise such as gum, sweatbands and otherapparel, sails, and skateboards. It has been ap¬proached by distributors who feel that “...theenthusiasm in the Jolt project will continue inother products,” as Rapp summarized. Is this tokeep up with the Joneses in respect to Coke andPepsi? Rapp has no qualms about sharing themarket. He realizes that even Jolt’s current pop¬ularity, “doesn’t mean it’s for everybody. It’sthere if they want it.” The company “Just wantedto see people have fun. I guess that’s one of therewarding things about developing Jolt—to see thepositive responses.” Rapp hopes consumers will“...poke fun at Jolt and laugh with Jolt,” since“...that’s what soft drinks are all about.”Tom Guagliardo contributed to this story.B-school brains bring in thebucksBy Peter BernsteinContributing WriterThe first concern of any graduate student (well,perhaps in truth, the second concern) is money. Asa doctoral student in the business school I receivesome support. I was able to take this somewhatmeager assistance from Dean Gould and turn itinto a respectable sum through a series of shrewdinvestments. The shrew'dest of these was realizedwhen a 30-1 shot named Ypsilanti nosed outSanta's Dream at the wire resulting in a rathersizable return on my 3-5-2 Trifecta at Maywood.Financial solvency thus assured I moved to mynext task—selection of a thesis advisor.Now there is one school of thought which saysyou should choose a big name professor for youradvisor. A Fama, a Miller, or a Stigler—a profes¬sor with a proven record of success for himselfand his students. Others believe that it is better towork with a young and upcoming faculty memberwho may have more time to work with youindividually. I chose a medium approach andapproached a medium.Madame Evelyn, thesis and spiritual advisor,shares her West Loop loft with Mort Isaacs, themost revered rabbi in all of Greek Town. She wasrecommended to me by a friend who noted thatalthough Madame Evelyn lacked a formal educa¬tion she was, nonetheless, still oblivious to thegoings on around her. It was she who steered metoward the field of financial economics. This was awise choice. It is a very marketable field for workin the academic and private sectors and it is oneof the few disciplines (international relations is another) in which the Ouija board is still arespected tool of research.Having found an advisor and a field of study Ibegan the arduous task of selecting a thesis topic.I reviewed the literature but found nothing in “TheHouse at Pooh Corner” that seemed suitable. Ithen gathered every article I could find and lockedmyself in the Zanzibar Motel for six days. I readconstantly taking only occasional breaks forbread, water, and a five minute ride on themassage-a-bed. It was here that I developed atheoretical paper in which I showed that as long assome investors are willing to hold a risk-free bondthe marginal investor is indifferent to receivingdividend payments or two tickets to see the GuessWho at the Holiday Star Theatre. Unfortunately,an assistant professor at Purdue derived a similarresult in an article in the East Pakistani Journalof Business and Pleasure.My next effort was an examination of changes inwealth over the course of the business cycle. Myresults cast some doubt on the models developedby Friedman although this could be explained bythe fact that Friedman analyzed changes in GNPand I focused on changes in the assets of rabbiIssacs which now consist of a black hat, a chest ofdrawers, and a $500,000 insurance policy payableto a Miss Zita Molinaro of Albequerque, NewMexico.Madame Evelyn read my paper, wheezedknowingly, and suggested that I use a lightershade of crayon. And so the difficult task ofacademic research continues. I am sustained byknowledge of two things.

If I was a poet, I’d bein another section. We’ll leave the nature talk toEmily Dickinson. The point is, or will be, that thisweekend was just too good for the place andcircumstances most of us find ourselves in aboutnow. The only activity for this weekend was onethat is most concisely and accurately expressedby a verb recently come into its own. No, not “tonerk,’’ a ridiculous and artificial construct if thereever was one. This most appropriate verb is thenatural result of the evolution of the language(and perhaps the devolution of the Human species,but anyway...) I present, for your consideration,with its varied definitions and not-so-subtlenuances, the passively active verb “to vegetate.”This word should have received some of its dueappreciation already as, in its nominal form, itwas the star of last year’s equivalent of keep-off-the-grass signs which read “Do not disturb, vege¬tation in process.” However, unhappily, thesesigns are no longer in use. Also, they give littleclue as to the word’s application to people. TheAmerican Heritage Second Collegiate EditionDictionary gives a definition (p. 1340) which isbland and notable for its brevity. For those of youwho are reluctant to try a new word without acolorful rendition of the correct application, Ipresent...My definition of the verb to vegetate. Actually,since verbal concision and precision is hardly myforte, and since I’m attempting to present thisword constructively, the following will be an ex¬planation rather than a scholarly definition of howto vegetate. (This also precludes my having towrite the word in pronunciation symbols whichhave always befuddled me.)No matter its passive character, the decision tovegetate is a conscious action. You must putyourself into the correct mood and situation-—psyche yourself down. It’s a highly personal experience and each individual must find his/herown road to this intermitant collegiate Nirvana.(Although doing it with a friend can be, shall wesay, a gratifying variation.)Proper atmosphere is a must. While it is possi¬ble to sleep in the Reg or a residence hall studyroom, it is impossible to “veg” there. It’s usuallyhard to vegetate in your own room. Try somebodyelse’s room for starters, preferably someone whowould suffer great guilt pangs from rolling you outof your sprawl on their bed. But veging in someoneelse’s room, no matter how good a friend they maybe, is at best a temporary situation since they willeventually tire of watching you and reclaim theirown space. Most campus accommodations do notprovide enough space for cohabital vegetation. Isuggest that you move off campus altogether.Move in with relatives. There’s always the chancethat blood really IS thicker than water and any¬way, after hearing enough family gossip, you canextort an extended welcome by threateningblackmail.Proper vegetation also requires proper nutri¬tion, so wherever you settle, make sure there’s an» ample supply of good food, preferably available ona 24-hour, short notice basis. Note: this means realfood since vegetation is a delicate art form.Harold’s, Dominos, and Wendy’s tripples radiateindelicacy. During vegetation, alcoholic beveragesshould be consumed rather for taste than for theiranesthetic properties. If it hurts, you’re doingsomething wrong. Vegetation is also one of the fewsituations in which I find it permissible, evenrecommended, to consume non-stimulating bev¬erages such as herbal teas intentionally.Well fed, assured of lodging, indulge in mindlessactivity. Note please, I didn’t say pointless orstupid activity. Listening to classical music isacceptable if you refrain from noting the counter¬point melody in the Dorian mode in the Allegromovement and its recapitulation in the Rhondo. Ifyou’re concerned that you will be plagued by suchconsiderations, try an hour listening to the middle25 of Casey Kasem’s American top 40 count-down.Watch morning cartoons. Initially, the actionflickers will stimulate your optic nerves, but theeyes will soon adjust to the predictable repetition,and develop the glazed look characteristic of thehigher states of vegetation.

Through various mixedmedia (burlap sacks, wool, humanhair, fire, classical and woodfragments, smoke and other or¬ganic and inorganic matter)Kounellis creates art that reflectshis philosophy of cultural history,and his stance as an artist in post¬war Europe. Kounellis believes thatthere once existed a unity withinclassical western civilization, whereart, thought, and various functionsof the culture coexisted in har¬mony. His function as an artist is torestore the unity that, in the after-math of two world wars, has be¬come fragmented. Through poeticjuxtapositions of incongruousmatter (a human braid of hairhooked onto a metal sheet) andcombinations of obscure "settings''(blocked passageways, a womanwrapped in a wool blanket with agas torch tied to her foot) Kounellisexposes what he calls "culturaltruths,'' in an attempt to recreate asynthesis within culture and reaffirmthe values of Western society.Kounellis's art is highly poeticand confrontational. Like a playwithout actors, Kounellis's "settings"are the stage for dialogue, notonly between the artist and hiswork, but within its very themes:structure and sensibility, inorganicand organic, old and new, Europeand America. The viewer is notonly the audience of this dialogue,but becomes an integral part of it,as he himself is forced to confrontthe "situations" Kounellis creates.As I walked through the exhibit I was reminded of how i felt as achild witnessing mass in variouscathedrals in Italy, where thefrescos always seemed to scorn,forcing me to contemplate overmy young values and lifestyle. Onework I found particularly powerfulwas a wall where four fragmentedplaster heads of classical figures (Irecognized Medusa) are bal¬anced on steel shelves and eachcircumscribed and separated by charcoal lines drawn directly on tothe wall. Though the tortured faceslooked out in different directions,they all seemed to beckon. Theywere the misplaced remnants ofhistory, who, like relics from civili¬zations' basement, demanded myattention.Jannis Kounellis, born in Greecein 1936 and living in Rome since1956, is recognized as one of Eur¬ope's most significant figures in contemporary art. Though he isassociated with the 1970s Italianavant-garde movement ArtePovera, a movement that was onlyaesthetically bound by its use ofnontraditionalist, "poor" material informing art that reflected the revo¬lutionary political spirit of the time,Kounellis's art is not unified by asingle style as much as an id¬eology. In fact, his art greatly af¬fects his own cultural backround, inthe way it is a product of his past.Kounellis abandoned his homecountry at the age of twenty afterhaving lived through seventeenyears of civil war in Greece, to livein a city that has experienced therise and fall civilizations, politicalleaders and numerous culturaland artistic eras. It is from thishistorical context that Kounellisaddresses the issue of social andcultural fragmentation and aims tocreate a new vision of humanity.Though his art has been cele¬brated internationally, it haslacked major exposure in NorthAmerica. In fact, the Kounellis ex¬hibition is the first retrospective ofan Arte Povera artist in America.No other city has ever directlysupported the promotion of ArtePovera, with the exception ofChicago, that hosted a show ofEuropean artists of the 1970s at theInstitute of Contemporary Art.Therefore, the Kounellis exhibitionat the Museum of ContemporaryArt is significant not only for the cityof Chicago, but also for NorthAmerica According to MCA Direc¬tor Michael Danoff, "This exhibitionmarks an occasion of internationalartistic importance, for in NorthAmerica Kounellis's work has beenrarely seen and never in depth. Formany this will be a first opportunityto be stimulated and moved bythis art and to develop an under¬standing of its importance "The retrospective takes the formof installations at the MCA and atfour turn-of-the-century buildingsaround the city.

Like some recent come¬dies, "Desperately Seeking Susan"and "After Hours," "SomethingWild" involves an ordinary Jo elJane who, for a night or a coupleof days, takes a walk on the wildside. Unlike "Desperately SeekingSusan," "Something Wild" is actu¬ally funny instead of merely cute,and the depth and complicationsof the screenplay outshine thesometimes witty though mostlyplodding story of "After Hours."Jeff Daniels, as Charlie attempts to skip out on his lunch bill andMelanie Griffith, as Lulu, spots him,confronts him, and convinces himthat he is a closet rebel. Lulu takeshim on a tour of drinking, thieving,and sexing, a tour of the wild side.These opening sequences seem toforeshadow a movie in whichCharlie will learn how to loosen upand appreciate life, how to be a"live dog instead of a dead lion."But the movie goes far beyondthat premise. Lulu is looking forsomeone like herself, someonewho can't show their real person¬ality and hides under a manu¬factured one. The surface moral¬ ities of the characters change andprogress until the end when Luluand Charlie each have changedtheir characters in the extremeand, through a death, settle intotheir moderated yet true personal¬ities.Every time the script used up thelaughs and complications of acertain premise, a new, subtle plottwist would keep the story moving.Incidental characters provide a lotof the laughs creating a per¬meated milieu of humor through¬out the movie. In the end, Charliehas been as much a mediatinginfluence on Lulu as she had been on him.This change from the initialpremise, that of Lulu as Charlie'sguide to the wild life, to the act ofmutual beneficence, developsslowly as do the characters. Thecharacter revelations are primarilyresponsible for maintaining the in¬terest in the movie as well as pro¬viding a tool for the pacing.Through humor and a genuine in¬terest in the complexity of the hu¬man personality, “Something Wild"takes us on a tour of an excep¬tional movie.continued on page twelve...The Chicago Maroon—Ttn-^cLiy, November 4. is*Jb—ySmart offerseclecticismBy Christina BernardiCross Sections; Recent Additionsto the CollectionThe David and Alfred Smart GalleryThe University of Chicago5550 S.

In adaptingDracula for the stage in the presentday. one has both traditions todeal with. Following formulas iseasy; exploring human nature isnot. Last weekend, University Thea¬ter presented a new adaptation ofDracula directed by Ralph Schererwhich aspired to the literary tradi¬tion of horror, but ultimately bog¬ged down in Hollywood stereo¬types.We all know how the story ofDracula goes. Count Dracula, aTransylvanian vampire, moves toEngland and begins preying uponhis neighbors at the local mentalsanitarium until they enlist the helpof Dr. Van Helsing, a German ex¬pert on the occult, who finally putsDracula to rest. The writer of thisplay puts in some new twists, withcontradictory effects, He inserts alengthy excerpt from the Rime ofthe Ancient Mariner, by Coleridge,which is recited by one of Drac-ula's blood slaves. This is a link to the literary type of horror, but it ismore effective in retrospect thanduring performance. The play¬wright reveals, at length, Dracula'sunderlying motivations, whichserves to make the character morehuman, more empathetic. Perhapswe are supposed to be more hor¬rified when we see him not simplyas an evil nasty who can't help it,but as lonely, tortured individualwho seeks companionship andcomfort through the worst means.However, this contrast is not playedup enough to really sink in, andDracula instead becomes almost asplit personality. Another changethe playwright makes is to expandthe Renfield sub-plot. This alsoserves to humanize Dracula, whenwe see that he seems to reallycare about the poor lunatic. Themain benefit, in this production,however, is that we get to seemore of a marvelous madman whosteals all his scenes from the othercharacters.The most serious change in thestory comes at the end (which I amfree to reveal, since the production has now ended), and it is the mostserious concession to Hollywood.Instead of Dr. Van Helsing con¬quering Dracula, the reversehappens. Dracula manages to biteVan Helsing, then Dr. Seward triesto drive a stake into Dracula'sheart, but Dracula finally pulls thestake out, and his spooky trium¬phant laugh closes the show. Here,the good in human nature fails toconquer the evil, and there is notclosure to the plot. Instead, thesituation is neatly set for "Dracula IIThe Sequel," I do not honestlybelieve the playwright intends towrite one, but the parallel to themovies is too strong to ignore.While the developments in Drac¬ula's character might havenudged the play nearer to theliterary style of horror, this plotchange, along with the fog,spooky music, vampire's cloak andsplattering blood, shoved it deci¬dedly back toward the Hollywoodcliche.There are a few other difficultieswith this translation from novel to play. The novel is several hundredpages long; the play, a little overan hour long. One expects even athree-hour adaptation to lose somesubtleties, but this one leaves evenmore questions unanswered. Nearthe beginning of the play, weleave Jonathon in Transylvania, onhis way to becoming one of Drac¬ula's blood-slaves. Later on, he ar¬rives home safe, apparently un¬affected by Dracula's attacks onhis mind and body. So how did heescape? This play never explains.Since he is not essential to theaction after his return, the play¬wright would have done just aswell to have left him in Trans¬ylvania, and the audience wouldnever have noticed. Another prob¬lem arises from revealing Dracula'smotivations. This involves extensiveexposition of information, and theway the playwright handles it is tohave Dracula narrate it over aloud speaker from off stage. Duringthis monolog, Jonathon sits onstage, waiting for the Count toarrive so they can close the dealon the castle in England. I confess Imissed quite a bit of the content ofDracula's speech because I waswondering what was going on:Who was speaking? Were theseJonathon's thoughts?

Cottonshirts, with brilliant batik designsand meticulous embroidery hangadjacent to a wall covered withexotic, bold necklaces. Oppositethe window, strands of beads andlinks of leather bracelets hangfrom the ceiling. The fourth wall iscovered with baskets, statues, andhuge masks, puckering, grinning,and leering. And in the center,stands a column surrounded bymore of the same.On the counter's first level, Inoticed the necklaces which wereused by European in exchange forgold and spices. These old tradingbeads were beautifully crafted inVenice and the Netherlands andused mostly in Nigeria and Ug¬anda. Eventually Europeans lostthe art of making the necklaces.Africans continued to trade amongthemselves or wear the beads asitems of prestige.Below the trading beads areassorted earrings and bracelets. The bracelets are made frombronze and iron, casted in waxand sand. Their wide widths andbraille textures tempt the water tothrust many bands up to his upperarms. Next to the bracelets, a boxof smooth, wooden animals fromKenya wait to be touched. A littlerhinoceros fits snugly in the palm ofmy hand. On the other side arerows of tightly pressed leatherpurses. Blues, tans, greens, reds,and all made in Senegal. The redleather purses embossed with goldare Morrocan.As I was admiring the trays ofsingle beads and stones, two ofSaingbey's friends dropped in topick him up from the store at clos¬ing. One of them was Alonse, anAfrican from Benin. When he heardthat I was from Zaire, he launchedinto French. I was amazed to be inHyde Park speaking French with aman from Benin! They thought itwas curious that I was at the U ofC. Alonse picked up a flute from abasket of instruments under thewindow. It gentle music quicklybrought "Fire Trees of Thika" to mymind. Saingbey pulled out a bol-ofon, something much like axylophone, and playfully tappedat it."Put it sideways, or else thecarpet will absorb the sound," headvised his friend. Saingbeylooked thoughtfully around hisshop. Nodding, he said, "The Bak-uba tribe truly make the bestthings." He pointed to severaldance masks. "You want to seethings from Zaire? These masks arefrom Zaire and the hair is madefrom raffia straw. And this, he saidgesturing to a 4 ft. statue by thecolumn, "is a Dogone fertility fig¬ure. They used it to bring the rainsfor a good harvest." And no doubtthat it worked. The statue's armswere thrown above him and helooked quite earnest. I was in¬trigued by a winged figure by thewall. Saingbey explained that forthe Senufo tribe, the bird man wasan ancestorial personage. Howwonderful to believe that man ev¬olved from the birds. Saingbeyheld out a 5 ft. flat piece of iron,Shaped like a broad sword whichwas once a form of currency inZaire.Notes to a Formalist:By Susan CranelThere's a place called PinnaclePeak, located in a renovated barnnot far from the more civilized en¬virons of conservative OrangeCounty, CA., where they know howto deal with ties. Only the uni¬nitiated male patrons, drawn bythe lure of hickory-chip steak grills,enter the restaurant wearing ties.They are met at the door by ashears-wielding bouncer and anultimatum: take it off or we'll do itfor you!I don't know what started thistradition but I think it's a good one.The tie has overstayed its welcomeon the fashion scene, and I'mready to consider replacements.Not only is it unoriginal and uni¬maginative as a fashion statement,but it has acquired a strangesymbolic importance. The tie, asworn by men, is no mere ac¬cessory: it's part of a ritualistic uni¬form. Wearing ties has gone fromstyle to ritual, an should be reser¬ved for formal occasions—not forgoing to class!The author of last week's ode to the tie felt he was the last man oncampus to be tie-clad. Obviouslyhe hasn't been near the B-school,the law school, Regenstein,Morry's....Not to fault the B-schoolers. Conformist as they maybe in their choice of apparel, theyat least are in training for what'sknown as the "real world" where,as we all know, real men wear ties.If you join the Boy Scouts, you'reexpected to wear a blue suit anda tie. The same principle applies.What amazes me is how manymen apply this principle in¬appropriately by wearing ties oncampus. Why strangle yourself inthe interest of a non-existent ritual?Ties in non-formal situations areempty symbols, and somewhatpathetic. (I'll ignore the Freudianinterpretations if you will.) It's badenough that the professors maywear ties in the classroom, as if itwere some Park Ave. office. Butnotice that the women academicsfor the most part have avoided thepitfall of classroom apparel for¬mality—perhaps because theyrecognized that the locus of their Mourning Becomes ElectroPresented by the University TheaterWov. 5-8, 1986, 8 pm.i Reynolds Club5706 S. University Ave.From Wed., Nov. 5 to Sat., Nov."Mourning Becomes Eectra,"ugene O'Neill's adaptation of thedlassic Greek tragedy, "Oresteia,"v rill be presented in the First FloorTieatre of Reynolds Club. Trans¬formed from the milieu of ancientGreece to New England at thetime of the Civil War, the curse ofthe House of Atreus again visits thes age, and the air is surchargedv ith the aura of fated tragedy andthe extreme emotion of love, hate,cdultery, murder and despair.O'Neill, the Nobel prize-winningcuthor of "Strange Interlude,".ong Day's Journey into Night," and "The Iceman Cometh" wasone of the first U.S. dramatists toregard the theatre as a medium ofliterature, and his works are largelyserious, explorative forays into therealms of the mind, motive, andmeaning. He considered the con¬cept of tragic fate to be par¬ticularly interesting and he gave itfull play in "Mourning BecomesElectro," intending, in his ownwords, to create a "modernpsychological approximation ofGreek sense of fate."Unconstrained by any gods orsupernatural forces, his characters,almost identical to their counter¬parts in the "Oresteia" in their inter¬relationships and ultimate ends,except for a few differences whichmake the dominion of fate evenmore pervasive, are yet withoutany ability to direct their own des¬tinies or escape from the bloodyand terrible chain of fate that is theHouse of Mannon.Within this framework and add¬ing to it, skillful acting and gooddirecting manipulate the audi¬ence, as each scene builds thetension, alternately into empathy,shock, horror, and thoughtfulness,accentuating the author's intent ofconveying the inexorable qualityof his fate to the viewer.All of this makes a large de¬mand of the audience for en¬durance in such strain, but the playis well worth seeing because thethemes dealt with are relativelyuniversal and deserve thought andattention, and because the greateffort of the cast and directors bysuch a production should not gounnoticed. Of particular note arethe scenes between Christine andEzra Mannon, and the scene withthe drunken shantyman.Performances will be at 8:00p.m. on the dates and at the placementioned at the beginning of thereview. The price of tickets is $4 forstudents and $5 for others.As I prepared to leave, I askedSaingbey, "Being from Africa,where did you get the name "Pat¬rick?""Ah, I'm black Irish," he grinned."Actually, when I went to school,they found it easier to call mePatrick rather than Saingbey. It'sterrible to lose your African name."Alonse asked me what my namewas. When I told him he said,"Erika? Oh. But what's your realname?" I felt concerned and toldOn Why Iauthority is not found at the baseof the neck. Even the "feminine"concession of the little floppy bowis a feeble adaptation of the maleauthority associated with ties, andis better left undone. The classroomand the campus are not the kindsof places where you have to weara tie to get people to take youseriously, especially as a stu¬dent—in fact, it may have the op¬posite effect.Ties also bother me on a sub¬jective level. The Pinnacle Peakmethod, as a sort of Wild Westjustice for over-formality, is notwithout its own symbolic appro¬priateness. The image of thenoose, strangling life out of thebody, is one I've always associ¬ated with men wearing ties. Lookat the way the tie is put on: as youtie the knot it's loose, low down onthe chest, then it's cinched tightlyup to the neck. Button-down collarslock the tie in place. Sentence hasbeen passed, give the man his lastcigarette. I can't help but pity allthe men who walk around ready toswing. You might say that at Pin- him my middle name. "Hmm. Sian.Well that's a good name."There was so much more to seebut I had to go. Walking out thedoor, I heard the three talk quietlyand laugh as they closed up shop.So much history among them. Noexcuses. The next time you're inHyde Park don't pass up the op¬portunity to explore Window to Af¬rica. Knock on the door andSaingbey will buzz you in.Hate Tiesnacle Peak they sever the ties thatbind.I confess to being an anti¬formalist. I'd like those ties gonenot only from campus but from thebusiness world as well, along withthree-piece suits and nylons.Maybe there is a place for ties inmore ritualistic ceremonies, suchas weddings and graduationceremonies; personally I've alwayspreferred the cravat. I'm not sayingthat men shouldn't try to "dresswell." I'm not even saying that menwho wear ties don't have goodtaste, although sometimes thechoice of tie leaves room fordoubt. But I am saying that ties arenot the symbol of good-breedingand gentility our tie-bound heroclaimed last week, His version ofgood taste is uni-formality, like theBoy Scouts and the businessmen.

Healthy iaughter soundedthroughout the screening and theaudience bestowed enthusiasticapplause at the closing. Prior tothe screening, Mr. Demme spokebefore what seemed to be amostly trustee audience in the IdaNoyes Hall. All the best seats in thenew cinema were reserved forthese people, but the normallyradical and egalitarian mindedstudents did not complain.The cinema is a vast improve¬ment over Quantrell: real movie-house seating and a screen thesize of your average, modernmovie-house. Unfortunately, theaverage movie-house screen is toosmall to do justice to the potentialimpact of the size, depth, anddetail of a film's image. But for most of us who are used to themultiplex cinemas in the suburbanmalls, the Palevsky Cinema will bea treat because it's cheaper, rightnext door, and boasts a projectionto rival any commercial theater.After the film, Demme, in sport¬coat and tennis shoes, entertainedmovie-goers at a reception. Thechampagne was scrumptuous andthe service impeccable, but SilentVoices was a little disappointedthat there was no food there. Thosein charge of the entire evening'saffair saw to it that Ida Noyeswould be actually cleaned andthat new furniture should decoratethe lobby and reception hall. Willthe new furniture disappear andthe ugly, Reg-like furniture re¬appear for daily student use? Willthe maids stay on and servechampagne to students whohappen to walk by? Most im¬portantly, will the Palevsky Cinemasell candy at 600% profit?hear the speech? Why wasn't hereacting to it? This voice-overdevice is much better suited to aradio play. Theater audiencesneed something visual to relate to.The actors in this productioncoped remarkably well with theflaws in the script, and ac¬centuated the script's strong point,though they could not always saveit from falling into melodrama attimes. However, the director con¬tributed additional obstacles totheir success. He left the stageentirely bare, to create a bleakand cavernous effect. Most of theaction was played just inside theprocenium, however, so the actors had to traipse all the way up fromthe very back, or enter and hideduring scene changes. They gen¬erally were able to do this incharacter, but it rather ruined theeffect when they were supposed topop out from behind or inside coffins or set pieces. The set consistedof about six black coffin-shapedboxes with rope handles, whichwere rearranged for scene. Thismeant that between every scene,someone had to shove the coffinsaround into a new configuration.This entertained me at first, buteventually it was just cumbersome.I estimate that a quarter of therunning time of the show was taken up by these tedious scenechanges.The acting was, on the whole,the most enjoyable aspect of theshow. Though, as I mentioned, itoccasionally lapsed into melo¬drama, the actors conveyed thestrong and subtle emotions thisstory requires. Renfield was by farthe most engaging — taunting,plaintive, alone in his world ofparanoia and obsession. Minaappeared at first mild and bland,yet exploded with delightful pass¬ion once in the grips of Dracula'spower. Jonathon played with ef¬fectiveness the anguish of a mangrappling with an evil power for control over himself. The portrayalof Dracula, however, added littleto the role, and the actor seemedto rely on our expectations to carryhim. He was given the chance toplay Dracula as driven by his past,but did not carry this idea throughinto his actions. It is not clear,however, how much this is the faultof the playwright, and how muchof the actor.In many ways, the actors are theheroes of this production. Pre¬sented with technical and them¬atic difficulties by their directorand writer, they did admirablywell, it is unfortunate they were notgiven a chance to do better.b' The Major Activities Board presents...Friday, November 78:00 p.m.$5 with student UCID$10 withoutMandel Hall5706 South Universitytickets available at Reynolds Club Box Office12—The Chicago Maroon—Tuesday, November 4,1986wmSBKm The illustration below depicts a single (ONE)deuterium atom as it is revealed andexplained in the Gospels of Jesus Christ.AttractionR* Repulsion _JAA-MtftUikAit ruction* _* -Mt/tU<il Rpfxj/sinn- =.

Students such asLynn Shepler, a third-year law stu¬dent, believe that the same women’sgroups that were angered last yearwill be “furious” again this year ifPeterson were to return through stu¬dent funds.“If he were from a company thatmade money off the backs of blacks, they’d all be out there picketing. Butthey’ll bring a man back whose com¬pany makes money off the backs ofwomen? I find that shocking!” sheemphasized.Although McDade stressed thatSGFC did not consider whetherPeterson was a sexist, Hansen said,“We’d be slapping people in the face ifwe not only brought back the theme‘Love and Sex,’ but the exact sameguy.”“What the Finance Committee hasto do is consider the financial aspects,but if we just follow that letter of thelaw, then there is nothing wrong withfunding a group, for example, isshowing how to make a porno,”Hansen explained. conflict among committee members,for Steven Kurtz expressed exactly theopposite sentiment. “Let’s say there’sa ‘bad’ group that does ‘nasty’ things.If there’s ten people on campus whowant it, we should fund it,” heclaimed. “Once we start decidingwhether it’s right or wrong, we’reoverstepping our bounds.”Agreeing with Kurtz, Shepard said,“The job of the committee chairmen isto form an event.

In summary, the referendumstated that SGFC should make fundingdecisions without regard to the politi¬cal or religious nature of the event. “Itwas not clear what we would strike orwhere we would put it (in the con¬stitution),” he explained. “There is abig question as to whether studentseven knew what they were voting in ornot. When that gets cleared up, it willbe a lot easier.”Simoncontinued from page one“that is focused too much on show andnot enough on delivery.” Howlett alsocriticized the importance that hasbeen given to personality in the cam¬paign.Simon and Howlett briefly fieldedquestions from the audience, address¬ing issues ranging from negativecampaigning to test-ban treaties toU.S. involvement in Central America.Simon called for another method offinancing campaigns—that of publicfinancing. He proposed a limitation onspending and a campaign spendingpolicy like that of the presidentialrace, arguing that as the systemstands now, “the financially articulatehave inordinate access to policy¬makers and people who maybe are outon the street, out of work, aren’t being heard... (With a method of public fin¬ancing) you’re going to get less neg¬ative TV advertising, candidateswould be forced to say more regularly,‘Here is my program’ ...We ought todemand of candidates that they spellout what their vision is for a city, for astate, for a nation. We have too littleof that. We end up just...fighting overthe status quo. We ought to be dream¬ing.”Asked whether there is any future ofanother amendment that asks for amoratorium on nuclear tests, Simonresponded, “All I can comment on isthe merits of it and the reality is thatwe ought to be moving toward acomprehensive test-ban treaty andanything that moves us in that direc¬tion is something that I'm going to support...Clearly the majority of themembers of the House supported uslast time and I think you’ll find moresupporting it next time. The sentimentin the Senate on both political partiesis that we ought to be moving in thatdirection. It is verifiable. It is a smallstep but an important step in the rightdirection. What we clearly have tomove toward is a de-escalation of thearms race. And this is the most easily-taken step. The President of the USand Mr. Gorbachev could five minutesfrom now agree on that by phone andboth sides could verify. So it is not acomplex thing. It is something we canmove toward quickly.”On US involvement in CentralAmerica, Simon said, “My strongbelief is that our policy in C.S. s counter-productive...we are playinginto the hands of the Marxists ratherthan doing the opposite...it is a policythat moves with weapons rather thandiplomacy....” Simon says that he fa¬vors economic, not military, assist¬ance to El Salvador and that he hasbeen critical of the US withdrawalfrom the World Court.Simon ended by telling students that“sometimes on campuses there is theweakness of sitting around and talkingabout the problems but not doing thekinds of things that need to be done.-.those are the things (that) sometimesdon’t get done.

Box 20212Columbus, OH 4322014—The Chicago Maroon—Tuesday, November 4, 1986Season looks promising for experienced basketball teamBy Maria M. Del FaveroContributing WriterHaving a team with winning at¬titudes and four returning veteranstarters couldn’t make men’s bas¬ketball coach John Angelus happier.For the first year in several years, theMaroons aare fielding a team with theadvantage of experience among itsplayers. The combination of ten let-termen from last year and five prom¬ising newcomers provide the frame¬work for this year’s squad. AssistingAngelus in his coaching efforts thisyear is Cliff Sherman. Sherman is arecent graduate of Lewis Universitywhere he was captain of the team andone of the leading scorers.Leading the team are tri-captainsMike Clifford, Tom Lepp and DaveWitt. Angelus will look to theseplayers to lead on the court as well ashelp the team to gel as a unit. Accord¬ing to Dave Witt, “We are going to bean exciting ball club.” Clifford com¬ments, “We know what it takes to winand the first few games will set thetone for our season.” It seems theMaroons are on the right track tohaving a very successful season.With the experience of his squad andpotential of his new acquisitions, An¬gelus sees the key to success for theteam as proper utilization of his per¬sonnel. Not only must he utilize hisstarters, but he puts responsibility forthe outcome of the season on the ade¬quacy of the bench. “We must learnthe strengths of the bench and be ableto utilize them effectively.” He furtherstates, “All the players must knowtheir role and contribute in a waywhich will help this team.” Once theyknow their roles, the players must beable to come off the bench and beready to contribute as needed. This year’s team retains muscle andexperience. Dave Witt and Tom Leppshould be imposing figures in the postposition. Combined they should aver¬age about 30 points and 15 rebounds agame. Also back for the Maroons thisyear is Tom Redburg, a swing manwho should help both from the insideand outside. Mike Clifford and TomFa loon will contribute with ball han¬dling skills and outside shooting fromthe guard position. Angelus is relyingon other veterans, Mike Wadman, BenVenator, Matt Sharpies, Chris Hanusand Frank Held to provide depth andexperience off the bench.The Maroons will suit three trans¬fers this year on their roster. ErikEdin is a strong perimeter shooter andwill be a complement at the guardposition. Curt Goldstein possesses anaggressive style of play, and ChrisVelligan shows potential to contributeto the success of the team.The two freshmen on the team areIgal Litovsky and Bert Vaux. Litovskyis a good shooter and Angelus expectshim to improve quickly as he adjuststo the college level style of play. Vauxshows potential in the post and isdescribed as a good scorer. Again,Angelus stresses that as his newplayers gain more experience andplaying time in the college game, theycan only improve and fill a role thatwill add* to the team’s success.While the team returns strongplayers in the post and wing positions,Angelus notes that one of the teamsweaknesses is their perimeter shoot¬ing. Since the three point shot will bemaking its debut in the NCAA thisyear, the team will especially feel theloss of shooter Rob Omiecinski tograduation. Angelus will look toWadman, Edin and Litovsky to helpfill this void. This is the last season that theMaroons will be competing in theMCAC. Angelus comments, “We canbe optimistic. A lot of teams have lostexperience to graduation. Now thetables have turned and we come outon top in terms of experience.” Hesees Lake Forest and St. Norbert asstrong contenders for the conferencetitle. All three teams are part of theNorth Division, which offers thetoughest competition. Angelus says hewill play one game at a time. He willtest combinations of players in differ¬ent court situations to find the rightoptions. “If the options are successful,you’ll have a great team. We willknow by Christmas whether we havethe kind of team we need to win ornot.”The Maroons will open their seasonby Will BernardStaff WriterAt the Midwest Men’s Athletic Con¬ference Cross Country Championshipslast Saturday, the Men’s cross countryteam ended their last year in theconference with style. The five milecourse was wet and muddy and theweather was cold, but the fierce Mar¬oons did not let this temper theirspirits. They became even moredetermined and gallantly fought theforces of nature.The highlight of the meet for Chic¬ago was Sean Love’s thirteenth placefinish, which qualified him for All-Conference honors. This is the secondyear in a row that Sean has turned in atremendous performance at the con¬ference meet.Other hardy souls whose perform- in Boston at the MIT tournamentagainst Washington University. Chi¬cago won the tournament at U of Clast year and will try to repeat.Looking to the future of the team,Angelus mentions that this is a crucialyear for his recruiting efforts. Notonly must he replace the high caliberplayers he will lose to graduation, buthe must prepare the team for com¬petition in the newly formed UAA.Angelus comments, “The UAA is anexciting new league which offersmany opportunities and an excitingchallenge. Basketball is the highlightof the new league and we need to getthe kind of recruiting necessary to becompetitive.” Angelus’ recruitingprospects are promising. He has linedup several big players to replace seniors Witt, Redburg and Lepp.ances merit the glory of mention in¬clude: Kevin Nelson, 18th place finishin 28:22, Armand Musey, 19th placefinish in 28:29, David Navarro, 28:52for 32nd, Mark Sase, 29:59 for 41stplace, and Rich Diaz, 51st place finishin 31:18. Coach Mike Karluk noted,“This year’s team consists of a groupof fine young men whose performancetoday represents excellence, excel¬lence that cannot be limited to thecross country trails but must neces¬sarily become a way of life.”The team as a whole tied for thirdplace with Lawrence College. This isthe fourth consecutive year thatChicago has placed third in the con¬ference meet.The Maroons’ next challenge will bethe Regionals, which will be heia twoweeks from now in a location yet to bedetermined.Cross-country team ends yearOur Lowest Price Ever!EQUITY TE PERSONAL COMPUTER• Dual floppy disk drive system• 256KB RAM memory• Serial and parallel ports• AT-type keyboard• Optional color or monochrome monitor• MS-DOS® operating system• GW-BASIC™ programming language• One year warrantyCompletely IBM Compatible!Printers, Modems, Hard Disks, andExpanded Memory are all available.Call for details, and toarrange a free demonstration.At the corner of 53rd and Harper • 288-5971 GREATDINNERSAT GREAT PRICESFROM OUR CHAR GRILL %• JUMBO RIB TIP DINNER with fries and salad• JUMBO BBQ CHICKEN DINNER (Vs chicken) with fnes and salad• COMBINATION RIB TIP & CHICKEN DINNER with fnes and salad• OUR SPECIAL Vt LB.

BroderMaroon Editor-in-Chief 1948TACOMA — It is November, and thevoice of the voter is heard in the land.Beth Brown, 34, lives in a comfort¬able house in a ticket-splitting pre¬cinct on a hill above Puget Sound. ARonald Reagan voter in 1984, she —like many others I interviewed thisfall — finds life better for her familythan it was in the inflation-ridden1970s but prospects for the future“kind of scary.”From deficits to nuclear wastes, shesays, “lots of things are building upthat are going to cause problems.” Asfor the campaign between Sen. SladeGorton (R) and former Rep. BrockAdams (D), it is as misty as theweather this Saturday afternoon. “Ican’t really decide,” she says. “It’sthe ads. They’re so good, but you don’tknow who to believe. One guy is say¬ing the other is doing all thesecrummy things, and the other onesays, ‘I don’t do things like that; justlook at my record.’ But I don’tremember which one it is.”Beth Brown, unfortunately, is notalone. All across America, voters havebeen inundated in a tidal wave ofnegative TV ads which have pollutedthe atmosphere, cheapened the dial¬ogue of democracy, and guaranteedthat whoever wins office this year, thepublic has been cheated of its chanceto hear its would-be leaders addressthe issues they must face.Why did this happen? Alan Eh-renhalt of Congressional Quarterly, inan article last December, correctlyforecast this year’s tawdry “elec¬tronic debate.” Within the last fiveyears, he said, professional campaignconsultants discovered a far greaterpublic tolerance for negative ads, de¬veloped the capacity to produce adsfar more quickly, and routinely began using nightly “tracking polls” tomeasure how much damage each newround of escalating attack was doingto the opposition. The result is thateach week in these high-tech cam¬paigns brings a new — and usuallylower-level — exchange of advertisingblows.Behind all these developments aretwo fundamental forces: the essenti¬ally unconstrained flow of cash intocongressional campaigns, whichtempts candidates to drown all criti¬cism by saturating the airwaves, andthe takeover of these campaigns byprofessional media and polling people,outside the parties or the candidates’staffs, who have no accountability forwhat happens in government afterElection Day.The 1986 campaign demonstrated aGresham’s Law of potential dem-ogoguery. In this state, which was notthe worst, two able and experiencedpublic officials, fully capable of seri¬ous discussion of budget options, tradepolicy and other genuine issues facingthe Senate and the country, fell into avicious cycle of charge and counter¬charge. They left Beth Brown andothers to decide if one of them reallywas a “foreign agent” with loyaltiesoutside the state or the other wasindifferent to the risk of makingWashington a nuclear dumpingground. Utter nonsense.The blame for this kind of fiasco canbe widely shared. The marketing ex¬perts who sell their services to candi¬dates employ any tactics that “work.”and offer no warranties on their“products” and no refunds to voterswho find out after Election Day thatthey have been gyppedTV stations make millions fromthese hit-and-run, 30-second ads. Manyof them refuse to sell longer blocks ofad time, even 5-minute chunks inwhich the candidate might be able to810 Scotch™ brand Magic™ TapeFrosty on the roll, virtually invisible on the job.

The coverage of campaigns onlocal TV stations — and even thecommercial networks this year — wasniggardly. Except for a scattering oftelevised debates, voters got a fewlooks at the candidates in anything buttheir own ads.Nor were the newspapers much helpin many of the states I visited. Candi¬dates complained with justificationthat the only way to get coverage wasto introduce a new TV ad. More oftenthan at any time in the 26 years I havebeen on this beat, I found myself theonly reporter traveling with a candi¬date on his rounds with the voters. Toofew papers monitored what was beingsaid — or evaded — in the face-to-facecampaigning. Too few pushed agg¬ressively for new conferences and in¬terviews in which the candidate wouldhave to speak for himself — not hidebehind his media managers.Ultimately, of course, the politicians cannot evade their own responsibilityfor the cheapened campaign dialogue.They hire and pay these consultants,and the tactics that are employed inthe campaigns reflect directly onthem. It is the incumbents in Congresswho have blocked any system of par¬tial public financing which would al¬low reasonable limits on advertisingexpenditures. Knowing they have bet¬ter access to contributors, they chooseto take the money and run.Finally, we can look in our ownmirrors for blame. The Americanvoters deserved better than they gotthis year. I think the country wasready to listen to positive proposals oneducation, jobs and other issues. In afew races, particularly for governor,that is what was heard. But the can¬didates would not employ cheap andnegative tactics if they believed thatvoters would punish them.

This is no conservative position;rather, it is characteristic of regimeswhich deny personal liberty, regimeslike Hitler’s, Stalin’s, Mao’s, andCastro’s, where such violence has oc¬curred most prominently in the 20thCentury.The charge that Midway Review isresponsible for these vile stickers isbitterly ironic, since they serve only toalienate people from our own position,which is a reassertion of traditionalmoral values in the social setting, aposition both respectable and in themainstream of American society. But none of this matters to the people whoattempt to misrepresent the Reviewby spreading lies about our actionsand positions.For too long now, conservativeshave been lied about and mis¬represented by the extreme left on thiscampus. Frankly, if the leftists herethink that conservatives are merelygoing to lie still, docile as they heapabuse after vile abuse on our backs,they are sadly mistaken. Even as thefirst fake Common Sense posters werebeing put up last Wednesday, as thereal Common Sense posters were be¬ing torn down by intolerant leftists, webegan to act. That very Wednesdayevening, we made hundreds of copiesof said poster, and now have repro¬duced the second libelous one as well.With these posters, which we willdistribute to the trustees and alumniof this institution, we will documentthe intolerant lies of the left.We are confident that we shall notbe without their support, even as wedo not lack for support among thestudents on this campus.Sincerely,John HeyEditor, Midway ReviewStaff BoxThe Chicago Maroon is the official student newspaper of the University ofChicago.

USER ZfcPS DRUGPUSHER IN THEIFTTFPC— 1" *Opinions on mutants givenTo the Editor:I would like to take this opportunityto object to certain points brought byLeif Rosenquist in his article on mut¬ants in comic books.To begin with, mutants were ap¬pearing in comics before Marvel firstproduced the X-MEN in 1964. Mostnotably Quality Comics’ Black Condorin 1940 (he now is part of the DCuniverse) and DE’s Captain Comet in1951.In addition, Marvel’s Alpha Flightdoes not “deal directly with the ques¬tion of mutants.’’ Granted, somemembers of the Alpha Flight team aremutants, but the book’s main em¬phasis is to chronicle the adventuresof Canada’s only superhero team.As for Teenage Mutant NinjaTurtles is concerned, its success stemsfrom its strange, absurd tales andcharacters; not because they aremutants, but because they are ninjaturtles. Also, their origin is tied intothe origin of Marvel’s Daredevil,making it even funnier. Although theinvestment value in the first issue(original printing) is excellent,today’s best investment bet is the re¬cent Dark Knight series by Frank Miller from DC. The first printing ofissue #1 now7 sells for about $30 (it’sonly about seven months old), and aspecial hardcover edition of all fourissues, signed and numbered byMiller, which has been recently re¬leased, sells for $35 and is now w'orthmore than $90 in mint condition.Finally, I would hesitate to say that“the excitement is approaching itsculmination’’ in reference to the cur¬rent storyline, which consists of talesof mutant hysteria and the “MarvelMutant Massacre.” This is a storylinethat has been drawn out too long andthat has been carried too far. ChrisClaremont (as well as some of theother writers at Marvel) are justobliging readers who desire thought¬less, inane stories. His only work ofquality of late has been The NewMutants, and even that is starting toslip. This book has excellent characterpotential. Claremont should try care¬fully to avoid screwing this up as hehas done with X-Men.Sincerely,Fred MartonThird-year studentin the CollegeTitle of Exxon Lecture misleadingDear Editor:Last Monday I went to hear the firstof the Exxon Lectures being given byProfessor Bernard Lewis in a seriestitled “The Political Language ofIslam.” Five minutes into the lecture,Professor Lewis declared that he wasnot going to take into account theMuslim communities of South andSoutheast Asia, “for they were notrelevant to the Middle East.” A fairenough statement. But then the nextmoment he launched into his maintext in which the word “Middle East”did not occur once. Now he talkedabout “Islam.” Perhaps Islam andMiddle East are synonymous for Pro¬fessor Lewis; they are not for most ofus. Also, it would be preposterous to imply that South and Southeast Asiaare not relevant to the history ofIslam.I understand these lectures willeventually be published by the Uni¬versity of Chicago Press. I trust theywill have the good sense and integrityto change the title to The PoliticalLanguage in Some West-Asian Coun¬tries During Certain Centuries. Thatmay not sell well, but the label wouldbe accurate. After all, when did welast see a book with the title ThePolitical Language of Christianity?C. M.
