Many of thesepositions will not be filled orwill have their functionscombined with that of anotheroffice.While the lack of staff may notbe a highly visable result of thebudget cuts, the lack of literatureis. Faculty members and dissertation level graduatestudents are concerned with thecuts, because some are alreadyhaving trouble finding the mostcurrent literature in their ownfields."I deal mainly with socialcultural criticisms," complainedone graduate student in theHumanities, "and I'm going overthere (to the library) andprobably finding half of thestuff. I was pretty disillusioned,because you read about thesource in a literary text, and thenyou go and expect to find it andit's not there."Classics Professor Peter Whiteechoes the complaint and addsthat "a number of titles thatshould have been purchasedturned out not to be." Whitethen detailed an informal studythat the Classics Departmentundertook where they "comparedthe books received’ lists ofseveral recent journals with thebooks acquired at Regenstein.We found that we were missingfive to ten percent of the thingson our composite list (of books central to the field). After wepointed it out, the Library thenwent to buy the missing titles."However informal in its scope,the study outlines the difficultiesthat the library has had inacquiring books. These problemsseem to be concentrated in theClassics and Romance Lan¬guages Departments. A source inthe library stated that thesedepartments are identified as"problem areas," by the LibraryAdministration. Problems maynot be limited to these twodepartments, however. AnotherClassics professor noted that "ina way, Classics is a very re¬presentative department Classicsis a field with international ram¬ifications. There are other fieldsthat are even more dramatic;fields where it takes some realexpertise to know what’s goingon."Charles Gray, Master of theNew Collegiate Division andProfessor of History, stated thathe had experienced no particularproblems in obtaining any texts.He stressed, however,that he doesChicago and the Ivy League ComparisonNumber Volume Total Staff Materials Mat.

According toDean of Students in theUniversity Nancy Maull, theunit aligned happened to be theGang Crimes Uni;. After several incidents in which groups ofyoung men attacked victims onthe streets, the administrationasked both University Securityand the Chicago unit to checkout reports of gang activity."Everything I know leads me tobelieve that there is no reason tolink [these incidents] to gangactivity," said Maull. Sheexplained that the Gang CrimesUnit found no evidence of anincrease in gang crime. *"I don’t think that it’s fair tosay...that there is increasinggang activity. We don’t see gangactivity in Hyde Park and southKenwood. This is not to saythat there are not gang memberswho might live here, who mightgo to school here, who mightcumc into uie neighborhood andparticipate in activities. But we don’t see gang activity - we don’tsee that kind of behavior, and wedon’t see that as something [towhich] we would attribute crimesthat occur in Hyde Park," saidJonathan Kle inbard, vice-president for University news andcommunity affairs.The higher crime rate in HydePark has created a climate inwhich suspicions of gangactivity have grown. Thenumber of burglaries hasincreased dramatically, withthirty-six during the weekstarting Wednesday, October 22,a Figure more than double that ofthis time last year. There werefourteen incidents of assault andbattery during the same period."There have been rumorsrunning around about gangs,"continued on page seven $746.7 mil:—$713.7 milr--$667.2 milr$11.5 mil.$9.9 mil.$9.1 mil.

They were allies then andtheir meeting meant the splitting of Hitler Germany and theend of the war. On this day American and Soviet soldierspromised each other to do anything they could to preventmankind from another world war.Joseph Polowsky, a former U of C student, a member of theAmerican patrol at the Elbe, took this promise so seriouslythat he dedicated the rest of his life- and even death- to theunderstanding of the American and Soviet people and to thefriendship between the Elbe veterans of the two countries.

Theta pledge Andreana Turano joined for those samereasons. "Coming from an all-girl highschool, I wanted the same feeling ofsisterhood here that I felt there."Reactions by the Interfratemity Council(IFC) are supportive. Council memberEd Ruder said, "It is very helpful to havesororities present at IFC meetings to givewomen's views on our issues. They havecome up with some good ideas." Both theTheta pledges and the Alpha Omicron Pisorority have participated in fraternity aswell as campus functions.IFC members agreed with Ruder thathaving sororities on campus provides "agood medium for guys and girls to mix."The new chapter’s plans for the nearfuture include rushing during winterquarter and several community serviceprojects similar to their participation inlast year's carnivals.Students fast for hungryBy Sharon NorrisStaff Writer"Fast for a World Harvest"On November 10th and 11th, studentswith meal contracts or coupons who eatin Woodward Court, Pierce, or Burton-Judson can sign up to relinquish theirdinners for Wednesday, November 19th aspart of a nation-wide effort to battle worldhunger.

He was 90 years old.A U of C faculty member for 58 years,Mr. Mulliken received the Nobel Prize forChemistry in 1966 for his contribution tothe understanding of molecules.Mr. Mulliken was " truly the father ofmodem theories of structural chemistry.Hid ideas were so original and creativethat they are still very widely used today,"attested Leon Stock, chairman of the U ofC Chemistry department.Mr. Mulliken first began developinghis theory on molecules in high school.In 1925 he published his theory ofmolecular orbitals, which applied the newtheory of wave mechanics to molecules.The theory states that when atoms formmolecules, the atoms mix electrons, determining the chemical nature of themolecule. "He was intuitively good atdescribing what orbitals are like. Heperceived the orbitals as components interms of which a molecule and itsproperties can readily be described beforewe could actually calculate the orbitals,"said Clemens Roothaan, a U of C physicsand chemistry professsor and formerstudent and colleague of Mulliken.The National Academy of Scenceselected Mr. Mulliken to its society in1928.Mr. Mulliken was bom June 7, 1896in Newburyport, Mass., the son ofSamuel P. Mulliken, an organicchemistry professor at the MassachusettsInstitute of Technology. He graduatedfrom MIT in 1917 and earned a Ph.D inphysical chemistry from the U of C in1921.He returned to the U of C in 1928,becoming a full professor in 1931 andthe Ernest DeWilt Burton DistinguishedHAIR PHDPrecision Hair Design1315 E. 57th Street363-0700Join The HAIR PHD Class of 1967Mi f Amidst the academic challenges ot college life, the last thing youneed is hair that defies management.

Turner is involved in the Chicago LinguisticsForum, and thought English studentswould profit from the same experience."We wanted a graduate forum that wasperceived as accesible by graduatestudents. We wanted to show that forumsare both interesting and necessary ," saidMorillo. He explained that the "in-house"forums held with faculty frequentlyintimidated students.Morillo encouraged undergraduates toattend the forums. ” They often can askgood questions and the forums give thema sense of what kind of work goes on ingraduate school," said Morillo.Students from DePaul, Loyola, theUniversity of Illinois - Chicago Circle,Northwestern, Notre Dame, theUniversity of Wisconsin - Madison, andthe University of Milwaukee are invitedto the forum.The next meeting will be held Nov. 28at 8 p.m. in Ida Noyes.Service professor in 1956.During World War II, Mr. Mullikenworked on the development of the atomicbomb, coordinating eight related projects.He retired from the University lastspring, moving to Arlington, Va. to livewith his daughter, Lucia Maria Heard.Mr. Mulliken's wife, the former MaryHelen von Noe, died in 1975.

"Probably fewstudents or faculty even fill them out,"he commented.The professor postulated, whatwould happen if a "we get a professor tenyears from now who specializes inAugustinian Poetry? If we have not beenbeen collecting in that field, then he isgoing to be confronting a pretty sparsecollection, and so are his students.""One of the functions of thelibrary is to take care of acquisitions.That means more than having standingorders with major presses. It meansaggressively looking for things thatwouldn't ordinarily turn up. Even astanding order won’t turn some of thesethings up ," he said. "You have to havethe staff, you can’t rely upon theexpertise and energy of the facultymembers."Relying upon faculty membersto make lists of books for purchase iscalled the "Old European System" byLance Query, Northwestern’s AssistantUniversity Librarian for Planning andResearch. The system, once employedby the Northwestern University , hassince been replaced by a system wherethe bibliographers do all of the selecting.Query desciribed a big part of their jobsas "cultivating the faculty. They wouldbe absolutely remiss in their duties ifthey didn't do that "Regenstein Library's HistoryBibliographer Frank Conaway stressedthat the book selecting staff "act assurrogates of the faculty. Through jointefforts, they are trying to duplicate theefforts of the faculty, if they were toselect the books themselves."Professor White agrees with this principle, but disagrees that this effort istaking place in the Classics Department."None of us knows the size of thebudget, or knows how the field isparceled out to different bibliographers...We (have) an idea of how the books arechosen, but, more importantly, we donot know on what principles the classicsbibliographer or any other bibliographerdecides not to buy a book, and there havebeen some strange decisions," he said,referring to a reported reluctance on thepart of their previous bibliographer tobuy modem texts. "This kind ofinformation (about the budget andselection criteria) is the kind the librarystaff is not eager to share."The Library Administration isaware of these charges, but they arefinancially unable to hire morebibliographers or staff. As it is,bibliographers are needed to work in twocapacities. For example, after theretirement of a Romance Languages andLiterature Bibliographer the librarysought to hire a bibliographer who couldspeak all the languages of WesternEurope, so as to save money on hiringan additional Germanic LanguagesBibliographer, whose position was alsovacanLIt has been over two years sincethe search began, and the positionremains vacant. As administrators cannot locate such a multitalentedindividual, they have stopped searchingfor a Romance Languages and LiteratureBibliographer.Money and Time Arc LimitationsIn the meantime, however, theRomance languages collection has beensteadily deteriorating.

He stated,however, that "they need a big programto look at the collection, and they re notgoing to do that without a newbibliographer."On the same note, White added,"the library staff, or at least parts of it,are willing to cooperate, provided that itdoes not have to spend significantly moremoney and provided that the people therehave extra time. These are both verysevere limitations."Various departments areconcerned that staff members do nothave enough time to do their jobsproperly. Their time constraints maycontribute to the growing number ofunordered texts that the library staff hasfailed to acquire. White complains that"there are important titles that we havefailed to acquire. The only explainationfor these slips is simple carelessness,these were purchases that any rationalperson would make."Another Classics professoremphasized that "there needs to be areasonable allocation of resources. It’snot just a matter of having more staff,money has many different effects... Asfar as the buying of books goes, I thinkthat you have to have some money tomake the mistakes. Sometimes youcan't tell the difference between the goodand the bad books."History bibliographer FrankConaway agrees that some extra moneyis useful in purchasing books, because"while many items can be selected withconfidence, othres are harder to tell about.With many books you can usually tellby its features: the author, whopublished it, and by the number of pagesand how they relate to other books inthat field. Seventy pages on the Holocaust is not likely to be acomprehensive treatment.""Take the example of a Frenchfiction, for instance. If it's an unknownauthor from a small publishing houseand has 220 pages; what do you knowabout it?"Conaway went on to explain that thesimple act of putting more money intoacquisitions would be a very simplisticsolution to a complicated problem. Ifthe library were to buy all of the booksout there, "obviously that would satisfyeverybody, but we have a responsabilityto be cost-effective here. The purchaseprice is not the only concern. Buying abook for six dollars is not the end of theprocess. It then has to be shipped (oftenthrough U.S. Customs), catalogged, andshelved, a process that might end upcosting us forty dollars."Holes in Collection Are Hard to FillBecause many books fromoverseas become virtually impossible toobtain within months after publication,the library staff is under tremendouspressure to make a decision on whetheror not to purchase a book soon after it isreleased. Dillon points out that "when abook is published then you’d better buyit now, or else a month from now itwon't be there. Even in the UnitedStates, it's hard now to get a bookpublished during the sixties. It's atremendous cost to buy a book after thefact."The difficulty in buying long-published books especially worries theRomance Languages department. Oneprofessor laments that "It (our collection)has been going downhill for the lasttwenty years."White recalls that the library'sclassics collection was better during thetime he wrote his dissertation here over aAt the Corner of 53rd & Harper • 288-5971Completely IBM Compatible"“Includes 20MBHard Disk*Fast.

"I had only a smalllist of titles that I couldn"t fing(here). When I went back hometo Boston, I went to look forthem at Harvard's Library . If Ididn't find the title here, therewas only about a fifty percentchance of finding it at Harvard."He then went on to add"my experience is that thesituation (now) is definitely lessgood... We had the impressionthat whole sub-fields likearcheology were being over¬looked, and that nobodyconsidered himself or herselfresponsible for that. I wouldn'tsay that this area of the librarycollection was completelymissing, but that it wasspotty."Because it is so hard to orderbooks which were publishedyears ago, the decline of certaincollections is of specialconcern, because those textswill probably never be orderedand found at reasonable cost.As a result the collections mayhave already been permanantlydamaged in their capacity as aresearch tool.Browsing Ineffectual inW-CollectionEven if there wasenough time and money forlibrary- staff to order morebooks, they would most likelyhave to go through what iscalled the W-Collection. This collection of uncataloged booksnumbers over one-hundredthousand books and isbacklogged two-and-a-half years.This separate area of the openstacks contains volumes whichare not organized by subject, asthe general stacks are, but arerather placed into the stacks inthe order they came in.This haphazard type ofbook arrangement places astrain on researchers who notonly look books up by subjectfield but who also browse thatarea of the stacks for usefulbooks. "If your method offinding books is to go to thelibrary and browse, then itmakes the art of browsinguseless," says a HumanitiesProfessor.All of the books in theW-Collection are entered intothe computer, and can beaccessed by author or title.However, a computer subjectsearch conducted by the Librarystaff in February turned up only27% of the volumes in the W-Collection.The procedure ofmaking texts available byauthor and title is common atother Universities. However,Associate Director for PublicServices Howard Dillon notesthat unlike other libraries, the Uof C puts their collections ondisplay in an open stack area.In an effort to makenewly acquired volumes moreaccessable and to slow thegrowth of the W-Collection, thelibrary has started to send a book to its classified portion ofthe stacks without the fullcataloging. According toDillon, this procedure hasslowed the growth of the W-Collection, while at the sametime making the books easier tobrowse.The cataloging of booksinto a specific area in the stacksis important, because the areasin which a group of books isplaced represents the decisionsof individual bibiographers forthe past ninety years in theUniversity of Chicago Librarysystem. Dillon explained thatthe catalogers have to "thenbuild an apparatus thatcollocates the entries that havebeen brought together. All ofthese things then give thescholars a thread to pick up on."When questioned, Dillon added that the hundred-thousand plus volumes wouldtake up to two-and-a-half yearsto catalogue at current stafflevels, if no new books wereacquired during that period. Hequalified that statement byadding, "I think you'll findresearch libraries will have asubstantial backlog." PrincetonUniversity Library DeputyLibrarian Glenn O' Dellconfirmed this fact, as didNorthwestern University (NU).Northwestern'sAssistant University Librarianfor Planning and ResearchLance Query quoted the numberof backlogged books there at50,000 volumes. NU hasapproximately 3.1 millionvolumes and its collection ishalf as small as the Universityof Chicago’s 4.7 million volume collection which hastwice as many backloggedbooks.The reason for thedelay in the cataloging ofincoming books is not only afunction of a lack of staff, butalso by the fact that the cost todo original cataloging is five toten times greater than if thelibrary waited for the Library ofCongress to do the work.Northwestern's Queryobserved that the backlog incataloging "has implications forresearch libraries in general...We depend upon other researchlibraries to do some of thework... We're all in it together.We draw upon cooperativeefforts, and when one librarydrops into a crunch, then itaffects all of us.”BLOOM COUNTY by Berke BreathedThe Chicago Maroon—Friday.

"It maybe because of (these incidents] thatpeople got the impression that it must bea gang. But the police checked it outcarefully, and it was not a gang.""They don't appear to be doing this asmembers of gangs," said Kleinbard."They seem to be kids hanging outtogether with one or two [acting asleaders] and the others group aroundthem."Although the groups of teenagers arenot members of gangs, Kleinbardadmitted that they are cause for concernand the University has stepped-up. "We have asked, because of theCrimecontinued from page onerunning around about gangs," said oneResident Head "There is a perception ofgang activity." In an attempt to quellthese rumors, the Student Housing Officecalled Resident Heads and emphasizedthat there has been no increase in gangenme.Reports of gang activity seem to haveoriginated with a man who approachedthe Inter-fraternity Council (IFC.) "Heclaimed to have knowledge of gangactivity," said Maull, "and he seems tobe connected or claims to be connectedwith a for-profit protection group, whichhe described as being similar to theGuardian Angels, called Cnme Force.’The man, whose street name is "TheDog," claimed that Crime Force isconnected with the city of Chicago. TheChicago Police denied any such affiliation. He approached severalfraternities and suggested that theycontact University Security and requestthat they increase their patrols. At anIFC meeting two weeks ago, he also"offered [Crime Force] as an alternative,and suggested that maybe we should talkto the mayor and convince him toallocate more funds for this Crime Forceorganization," said George Koburov, IFCrepresentative for Alpha Delta Phi.However, he did not directly offer hisservices on a fee basis.The man claimed that because HydePark is a relatively wealthy area andbecause it has not been "staked,” gangsare preparing to move in. However, noone else has found any evidence tosupport his claims. The University hasunsuccessfully attempted to contact theman.Another factor that has contributed tothe growing impression of increased crime, and we have gottenspecial police missions which I thinkhave been very effective," he said.Violent incidents at parties oncampus have also helped to create theprecepuon of gang activity. On October10, a party at the Blue Gargoyle onUniversity between 57th and 58th streetsended in a skirmish between groups ofteenagers. Other less dramauc incidentsinvolving local teenagers at fraternityparties have led some people to believethat gangs are beginning to build up theirpresence in Hyde Park.According to Kleinbard, it is notunusual for the crime rate to rise duringthe summer months. However, the largeincrease this year, as well as the groupincidents, has generated concern in theadministration. The University hopesthat increased security will lower thecrime rate in the coming weeks.tofcri* PROFESSIONAL TESTING CENTERS ■WINNINGSTRATEGIES‘WE GUARANTEEYOU’LL BEATTHE TEST”| Classes Starling Now!6—The Chicago Maroon—Friday, November 7, Only Lowenbrau is brewed in the world’s great beer drink¬ing countries.

NORC wasresponsible for some of thespecific survey designs and datacollection while SADRIcompleted the analysis of thedata collected. The purpose ofthe survey was to provide anaccurate description of theconditions and size of Chicago'shomeless population. Anothergoal of the survey was todevelop a scientifically soundmethod of approaching thehomeless population.The study wassupported by $450,000 ingrants from the Pew MemorialTrust, the Robert WoodJohnson Foundation, and theState of Illinois Departments ofPublic Aid and Mental Health.More than half the funds for theproject were spent developing amethodologically soundapproach to the study of thehomeless.The survey consistedof two phases of data collection,the first from September toOctober 1985 and the secondfrom February to March 1986.Survey and interviewingmethods were pre-tested in thesummer of 1985. The studyconsisted of two parts: a surveyof homeless people in sheltersand a survey of homeless peoplefound on the streets and inpublic places. The shelter survey wasa conventional randomsampling of shelter residents ona single night. This randomsample was based on a listprovided by the shelter directors.The morning after the list wasprepared the residents wereinterviewed. As a result of thismethod some follow-up workwas necessary. Personsinterviewed were offered $5.00as payment.The street survey was aless orthodox methodologicalapproach to the homelessproblem. The city of Chicagocomprises 19,400 censusblocks. These census blocksare not just city blocks but alsoinclude railway areas, parks, andother open areas. NORC ratedthe probable density ofhomeless people for each blockand then chose a random samplefrom each density classification.Blocks were scanned before theinterviewing nights and mapswere made to help theinterviewers.These blocks werecanvassed between midnight and6 am. NORC interviewers withflashlights were instructed towalk around each block, downinto alleyways or passages, andinto each structure that allowedpublic entry including hallwaysand rooftops, and interview anyperson they came across.Interviewers were also instructedto look into parked cars, enterall-night movie theatres,restaurants, bars or other placesopen to the public. In short,interviewers were instructed tomake a "full sweep of the blockuntil they came across a locked door or its equivalent," saidMary Utne O'Brien, director ofthe 40 NORC interviewers.The report released inSeptember is based on theanalysis by Peter Rossi, directorof SADRI and the study’sprincipal investigator. Themajor findings of this reportindicate that:* The average incomeof a homeless person inChicago is less than $6 a day,and half of those, surveyedattempted to get by on less than$3.50 a day. Sources of incomeincluded welfare payments,pensions and disabilitypayments. Almost one in fivesurveyed reported no income atall during the entire month priorto being surveyed. Althoughone in three reported havingworked for pay in the monthprevious to being interviewed,only one in ten claimed steadywork in that period. On averageit had been four years sincethose surveyed last held steadyjobs Most indicated that theycould not survive without thehelp of charitable organizations,such as soup kitchens andshelters. * Four in five of thehomeless surveyed reported thatthey had been patients orconfined in an institution on atleast one occasion. One in fourhad been in mental hospitals;one in five had spent time injail; and two in five had beensentenced by a court and put onprobation* Many of thehomeless surveyed were in poorphysical and mental health.More than one in three claimedfair or poor health (compared toyoung men. This groupconsisted mainly of black menunder 40, most of whom hadnever been married. Many hadbeen institutionalized in jailsor hospitals. Another one-thirdor more of the homeless woreolder homeless men. Abouthalf white and half non-white,the members of this groupappeared to be older counterpartsof the homeless young men.Many had been institutionalizedand almost half had beenthrough a detoxificationprogram. A small group of olderhomeless women came closestto the "bag lady" stereotypeThis group showed high levelsof psychotic thinking, and onein four were carrying theirpersonal belongings with themin paper parcels wheninterviewed.The report concludeswith several major policysuggestions. Many homelessappear to be eligible for GeneralAssistance but do not currentlyreceive such aid. The reportrecommends that incentives beoffered to families forreincorpcating the homelessinto households and that incomemaintenance programs beimproved. The report alsoclaims that the condition of thehomeless gives ample evidenceof the failure of medical andmental health systems toprovide care for the physicallyand mentally disabled amongthe homeless.O'Brien called it "a landmarkstudy.

Come in CHEVROLET/VOLKSWAGEN• for details.November 7, 1986 • 19th Yearby Wayne ScottThe sign "to connect” ...means to bejoined in a shared relationship, to beindividual yet as one ...I want to bejoined to other people, but for all my lifepeople have spoken to me: she says;she means; she wants. As if there wereno I . As if there were no one in here whocould understand. Until you let me be anindividual, an I, just as you are. you willnever truly be able to come inside mysilence and know me. And until you cando that. I will never let myself know you.Until that time, we cannot be joined. Wecannot share a relationship.— from Children of a Lesser GodThough loosely based on spoken English,American Sign Language (ASL) enhances con¬temporary English usage, adding poetic preci¬sion to ideas hearing people often take forgranted. For example, ASL refines the differ¬ence between the concepts of supportingsomeone and becoming friends or lovers withsomeone. To sign "support,” one hand cupsthe bottom of the other’s closed fist, holding it up, and partially enclosing it; it’s similar to thesign for “turtle,” where the hand that cupsbecomes the protective shell, an integral part ofthe turtle’s identity. To sign “connect,” how¬ever, each hand creates a loop with its indexfinger and thumb (the letter "f” for friend) andconnects to the other hand, like links of a chain.The hands are autonomous, but joined.Understanding this difference between sup¬porting and connecting becomes the centraltension in two recently released narratives ondeaf people: the book A Loss for Words and themovie version of Children of a Lesser God Theworks are concerned not only about the wayshearing people relate to deaf people, but, moresignificantly, about the ways human beings cancreate trusting, accepting relationships witheach other, in spite of differences they construeas barriers to communication and mutual un¬derstanding. The protagonists evolve from un¬derstanding themselves as helpers, protectors,and rescuers to being individuals who acceptand respect deaf people for what they are, eventhough deaf people seem to have a narrowerrange of life-options, facing discrimination,prejudice, and misunderstanding in the hearingworld.In A Loss for Words, Lou Ann Walker de¬scribes her experience growing up as the oldesthearing child of deaf parents. Her earliestmemories include grandparents, aunts, anduncles telling her to be a good girl and to takecare of her parents. Sensitive to the trouble herparents have coping in the hearing world, shebecomes their translator and their instrument;"I was the medium. I was the voice for whatthese deaf people said and I was their ears.”She spends her childhood compensating fortheir disability.As an adult, living hundreds of miles awayfrom her parents, Walker continues to act outthat burden of responsibility. She enlists as avolunteer translator for the deaf, in addition toher full-time job. This section of A Loss forWords illustrates the tragic misunderstandingsof deaf people in settings as diverse as hospi¬tals, courts, and universities; the impatience,intolerance, and hostility they encounter be¬cause they cannot hear and cannot speak likehearing people; myths that they are dumb,retarded, or less worthy of respect. Walker’sfrustration over the daily injustices she ob¬serves consume her, flinging in her face herown parents’ predictament.The burdens. The should haves. Theissues were so complex, the misunder¬standings so upsetting. Deafnessseemed like quicksand... The more I didfor one person, the more someone elsewanted me to do... The more I saw, themore I felt guilty for not having donemore as a child, for not speaking up. fornot helping more.She cannot help enough though. The de¬mand for tranlaters for the deaf is too great,and attempting to fill that gap demoralizes her,overwhelming her sense of personal duty andconfusing her sense of her own identity. Shebecomes intensely angry.I was sinking deeper and deeper intomyself. I was struggling with an angerthat got uglier by the day. On the outsideI was trying to remain the "good” girl myaunts and uncles had warned me to he.(But) the difference between the facadeand the interior kept growing.The anger she describes connects her to adisplaced awareness of her own desires, herown needs and capabilities - a childlike voicesubsumed and contorted by the demands of thedeaf world, beginning with her parents and theirrelatives. For them, she had acted as therepresentative of all deaf people - a role toounwieldy for any individual to undertake Now,in order to affirm that fragile, emerging sense ofself, she drops her volunteer obligations - heracting out of guilt - and reexamines her par¬ents, not as members of a voiceless, minoritygroup, but as individuals coping in the world.I’d been angry that they hadn't foughtback all those times they’d been mis¬treated. It was slowly dawning on me thatinnocence is a protection. They knewvery well, better than I, how harsh theworld is. And they realized early on theyhad one of two choices: to be bitter, or toenjoy what they hadIntensely aware of her parents' disability,Walker had been bitter for them. By droppingher role as the savior of the deaf, then, sheallows herself to view her parents' lives for whatthey ate, as opposed to what other peoplemake them; she recognizes their joys, their accomplishments, and their fulfillment in theirhome and family. She confesses that "for solong I’d been doing what I accused otherpeople of doing -1 was seeing the deafness, notthe people,” Rediscovering her parents, sherelates to them as individuals and not asmembers of a minority in need of a representa¬tive. Before she had seen them as other people- her own relatives - saw them; or through thelens of her parents’ own self-consciousnessBut she grows to accept them for the complex,loving individuals that they areThe play Children of a Lesser God has moreeloquent, poetic insights into the ways thedeafness of one person complicates a relation¬ship between two lovers. (The movie, now atWater Tower Place, unfortu nately. edits outmost of the compelling pass ages and charac¬terizations.) The play depicts a hearing man,James Leeds, and a woman deaf from birth,Sarah Norman, struggling to connect across abarrier - not her deafness, but the notion of acultural difference based on her deafness andcontinued on page 8ON SIGNS,INTIMACYAND OTHERNESSo/fu (fflgrcheFINE CATERINGWhere the emphasis is on good food,from hors d’oeuvres & dinnersto barbeques & box lunches.MarkBiresFormer Catering Director of Hyde Park Cafes.Craig HalperFormer Head Chef of Jimmy’s Place.(Chicago Magazine Dining Poll Winner)312.667.4600 Hi.

Sister Uhlen has been a Maryknoll sistersince 1942. She spent 20 years teaching in Hawaii, serving asschool principal for six of those years. Moving to Nicaragua in 1972,she did parish and community work. She worked primarily in 2towns in northern provinces of Nicaragua, areas now suffering theeffects of the US backed contra attacks.Having lived in Nicaragua from 1972-1985, Sister Uhlen is in aunique position to discuss life in Nicaragua under the Samozadictatorship, during the tumultuous period of the Nicaraguanrevolution, and under the current Sandinista government, whichachieved power in 1979. Speaking with a GCJ reporter, shedescribed the Nicaraguan revolution as exciting, saying that “Underthe new social reforms and literacy programs, ordinary people arebeing given positions of responsibility who didn’t have any before.”She herself helped set up a sewing co-operative for women after therevolution. Commenting on freedom of religion, she noted that 80percent of the country is Catholic, adding that traditional celebra¬tions are flourishing. She said ‘‘The Nicaraguan government be-. lieves that people should have the right to worship in their ownway.”Sister Uhlen is currently on a speaking tour of the Midwest. Shewill be talking at the University of Chicago in the Cloister Club of IdaNoyes Hall, on Tuesday. November 11, at 7:30 pm.

The heroof Jonathan Demme’s new movieSomething Wild, with his dressed-for-success business suit, pocket calculatorand telephone beeper, has a differentview of himself than his yuppie ac¬coutrements might suggest. “I’m a rebel,”he explains, “I’ve just channelled myrebellion into the mainstream.” Demmehimself, along with such other young di¬rectors as David Lynch and DavidCronenberg, may be said to be chan¬nelling a certain amount of rebellion intothe mainstream as well. His movies, whileexhibiting the slick production and en¬tertainment values one associates withstandard ‘Hollywood’-style filmmaking,reveal a sensibility far removed from theshow-biz mainstream. So in Stop MakingSense, Demme shows the Talking Headsnot as mythologized, sexually-glamourized“rock stars,” but as ordinary peoplewhose job happens to be playing in aband. His other films, including Melvinand Howard and Swing Shift, show a veryreal respect and affection for their “or¬dinary Joe” characters, without resortingto cheap sentimentality. So even ifDemme’s work doesn’t constitute a full-scale rebellion, it has succeeded insneaking some new perspectives ontoAmerica’s movie screens.Something Wild is in a sense Demme’smost conventional film, having all thetrappings of the traditional screwballcomedy (strait-laced guy meets kooky gal,etc.) but under the formal surface, theDemme touch is unmistakable. Theyuppie protagonist, Charlie (Jeff Daniels),is not simply the buffed and polishedstraight man, but a character of realdepth—unlike the similar Tom Hanks rolein the numbing comedy Nothing inCommon, who turned out to be little morethan a walking advertisement for high-income conformism. Charlie’s got quirks,Charlie’s got pain, Charlie’s got it all—butnot the way the beer commercials mean.Likewise Melanie Griffith is more than thetypical kooky sexpot, a sop to adolescentmale fantasies; her behavior is givenbelievable motivation, a nicety that makesher Audrey (sometimes called Lulu) acharacter, not just, as is true in too manyHollywood fantasies, a plot device in atight dress.It is this basic humanistic groundingthat makes the movie so interesting; wehave ‘real’ people involved in screwballsituations, and unlike their chrome-platedcounterparts in more mechanistic farces,the consequences of their actions aresometimes frightening. Things are cool aslong as their adventures consist of skip¬ping work, joy-riding, and failing to paytheir restaurant tabs; the tone darKenswhen Audrey’s recently-paroled husbandRay (Ray Liotta, charismatic and violent ina knock-out performance) enters the pic¬ture. His presence culminates in a har-rowingly violent finale which many viewersmay see as a betrayal of the film’s overalllight-hearted tone. This scene is ultimatelywhat pushes Something Wild into anotherMelanie Griffith: Everythinglooks exotic dimension, taking the film well past theboundaries of screwball comedy, andinto...well, somewhere different: not aplace bright-eyed and shiny Hollywoodmovies usually take us.The GCJ interviewed Jonathan Demmelast week when he was in Chicago pro¬moting Something Wild, a screening ofwhich opened the U of C’s new MaxPalevsky Cinema. Among Demme’s otherrecent credits are music videos, including“I Got You Babe” with Chrissie Hyndeand UB40, and Artists United AgainstApartheid’s “Sun City.” His next project isa performance film of Spalding Gray’sSwimming to Cambodia, with a musicalscore by Laurie Anderson. A TV film,Survival Guide, directed by Demme,written by Beth Henley, and starring DavidByrne and Rosanna Arquette, is sched¬uled to air on PBS this year. As might beguessed from this list of collaborators,Demme lives in New York City.JD: I have lived in LA, and there’s noway you can forget at any moment of theday that you work in the motion picturebusiness. It's so in the air — everyone yousee says “so what are you doing now?” InNew York, people don’t give a shit whatyou’re doing now; they’re not impressed,and you can live a nice varied life withoutbeing reminded that you’re between pic¬tures or that you’re worried about how thisone’s going to work out. Plus there’s awhole bunch of filmmakers working inNew York... For example, the place thatwe edited this movie in, a place called theBrill building — that’s where Tin Pan Alleywas, with the famous rows of telephoneswhere the songwriters used to sing theirmelodies to the guys upstairs in hopes ofbeing able to go up to talk to them — sonow it’s been turned into a big cuttingfacility. On any given day in the past 3months I have seen, on the same day,Susan Seidelman, Martin Scorcese,James Toback, Schrader, ArthurPenn...everybody’s working in this build¬ing, so you don’t really feel cut off fromthe process, you just feel cut off from thebullshit. I love living in New York andworking there.GCJ: There was music going on almostconstantly in the background of Some¬thing Wild — reggae, salsa, rock and roll -...did you have some over-riding conceptbehind the choice of music in the movie?JD: I’m an Americana freak in myprivate life and it winds up in the moviesbecause I think “oh wow let’s put some ofthis here.” It kind of struck me when I wasstarting this movie that there’s a newAmericana, and the new Americana isinternationalism. I mean it’s just astonish¬ing, there are whole new waves of im¬migrants here and we’re surrounded by anew international quality in this country.So I wanted to get into that Americana alittle, or alot, and I thought let’s make thatclear from the beginning with a salsasong. Actually that David (Byrne) went tosalsa I find delightful; I really wanted aByrne song since I couldn’t get him in themovie because he was making a movie,so I asked him to do an opening song andmake it just ... international ! As fatewould have it, David’s deeply into salsa atthe moment, it’s his favorite kind of music...today. The reggae is in there, that was apreconception, that’s in there because it’smy favorite kind of music, and it has beenfor a long time. It seems to me that if youride around in your car with a reggae tapeon, everything looks exotic; it’s a wholenew slant on what you see; I thought, wellmaybe it would be like that in the movie. 1also liked the idea of associating Lulu withan expansjve musical taste and a mellow,positive kind of sound which I thinkreggae has, a good vibe—if you pardonthe expression—kind of feel. Then Ithought it would be interesting when Raymakes the scene to come on with atougher kind of music, a certain hardedged road rock sound that would reflectthe presence of Ray and would preventthe good vibes that reggae had broughtpreviously, and by extension—this soundslike bullshit but its the stuff you thinkabout when you’re makin’ a movie — byextension, I thought, in an effort to makethe movie feel good again, you can start tobring reggae back.GCJ: The thing about this movie that really struck me is that it seems to be sotimely as far as what it’s addressing.There’s a whole undercurrent of—for lackof a better expression—a baby boomerkitsch cultural backdrop that seems to bepopping up everywhere these days andit’s here in this movie ... the giftshops,Gumby... what’s going on?JD: Good question. All these thingshave weird ways of getting into movies.Gumby’s there because my assistant is aGumby fanatic. And the kitsch thing, wellgee, I’ve been into that for years. ...Theproduction design on the movie was doneby Norma Moriceau who did the Mad Maxmovies' costume design which is whatcompelled me to want to work with her onthis. I thought that here was a crazy storyand, without making it surreal, I wanted tojam as much unusualness into it as pos¬sible. I wanted it to be a vivid landscapethat they travel through.GCJ: The cinematography seems totake the landscape very much in stride, italt looks so natural but, if you think aboutit for a moment, it’s crammed with weirddetail. In fact the look that the movie hasseems to set it apart from other currentmovies; it’s not real glossy and bright.JD: I don’t like a super glossy lookpersonally; I mean I probably like it forcertain movies but ff you’re going forsome kind of psychological bedrock forthe characters, too much gloss gets in theway ... it separates the audience from thecharacters. That’s why I like to work withTak Fujimoto (the cinematographer) somuch (we’ve been working together for 12years now). He tries to create an inter¬esting mood in his lighting and he tries tomake the actors look appealing; he letsyou see their eyes so you know what'sgoing on inside their heads, it’s an ap¬proach I like a lot.GCJ: You just mentioned when youwere talking about the look of the film thatyou wanted to have something real, abase or psychological bedrock, for thecharacters. We were talking about theending of the movie and it seems realstraight-forward, but... we couldn't figureout what exactly happens to Charlie. Doeshe change? What does he give up? Is it ayuppie cautionary fable, or what?JD: That would be very low on my list ofways to categorize Charlie and what themovie’s saying. Because I’ll tell ya. as faras yuppies go...I mean I know there's aphenomenon of yuppies but I don’t knowwhy I'm not one or why you all aren't them...or maybe we are (or maybe we're not).I’m not quite sure exactly what makes ayuppie. You see people drive by in carsand you can say “They’re yuppies.” Ican’t say I’m really in touch with the wholething; Charlie to me is a kind of guy who’salways been around...GCJ: He could just be this stock char¬acter, but there is real depth to him...JD: The first thing of course is thatthese characters are lying on the page ofthe script and I’m drawn to them ... and inmy reading of the script I’m either deci¬phering or imbuing or whatever, but thepoint is I’m relating positively to a certainkind of person that the script is suggestingto me... Especially in this movie becausethese are two people who, primarily at theoutset, really do misbehave; I don’t thinkanybody could or should or would approveof what they go through. The movie triesto make you share the fun without en¬dorsing it—I don’t know if that’s a par¬adox—it can almost pass for fun eventhough it’s not approvable The movie istrying, first and foremost, to create somecrazy kind of balance for the piece. One ofthe themes is that there’s a fine linebetween mischief and really getting intodeep trouble. Hopefully that’s a lessonthat’s clear and that these two peoplelearn ... at the end, they’re glad to bealive, they’re glad to have found eachother again, and there's going to be nomore crazy romps. The other thing that Ihope comes across in this movie is theidea that’s summed up in Charlie’s unbe¬lievably naive statement to Ray after he’sbeen beaten up and this other guy’s beenbeaten up at the convenience store, whenhe says “violence is no solution to any¬thing; what goes around, comes aroundand you’re going to learn that someday”...it’s like are you really saying that?But he really believes it and he is a Naive. Anyway that’s a point that the moviewants to make in a certain way; it’s amovie that’s against violence and it alsohas a certain belief in Karma, or destiny ofbehavior.GCJ: The violent scene at the end is avery hardhitting scene; for me it reallyprovided a “psychological bedrock’’ forthe movie.JD: That sequence is a risk that themovie takes and that was pointed out tome by the people at Orion (the distributor)but they were willing to go with our beliefthat it was organic to the story, and thatit’s OK to risk a mood change (althoughthe movie wants very much to come backto a good mood). Part of the risk is thatthe movie doesn’t provide a Rocky mo¬ment, there's no moment calculated to letthe audience go “Yeah!” or to show the‘up’ side of violence; this movie denies theexistence of an up side of violence. Wewent to great lengths in doing that fight tomake it clear that Charlie’s fighting todefend himself; he hasn’t just had hisspinach and we weren’t going to showhow even Charlie can be Rambo. That is arisk because the few times I’ve seen themovie I could feel the audience wantingsomething to cheer for, an outlet for the—how do you describe it?—the stress orwhatever that you start experiencing whenyou see brutality. I hope that doesn’tdestroy the experience of the movie forpeople but I’m glad we did it because Iwould rather not have made the picturethan to have Charlie turn into a yuppieRambo at the end and give us a chance togo “yes, yes, yes’’ and watch him beatingthe shit out of Ray because Ray deservesit.GCJ: It s good that Charlie comes outof the fight looking like hell.JD: Oh ya, that scene, now that I’veseen it a couple of times just makes methink “ “6:00 news ’...” I don’t know whatthat means exactly but, attempting to getinto that area of domestic violence, Iwanted the scene to have a kind of ‘thisisn’t bullshit’ feel to it ... I mean we hearabout this kind of thing from time to time;people breaking into other people'shouses or apartments in a jealous rage.GCJ: Were you conscious of turning agenre on its head with this scene? Youstart with a screwball-like comedy andthen you have this real hardhitting scene.JD: Not turning on its head so much aswanting to attempt a blend; I wanted themovie to have the spirit of those greatNicholas Ray fiim noirs, one of those “ohgosh, what’s going to happen next” kindof things. I didn’t want it to be screw-ballish, but I did want it to have, on theother hand, at least to start out with, thefeeling of It Happened OneNight...original, but you have to be mindfulof the fact that the more original you get,the less traditional you are and the audi¬ence almost demands a certain amount oftradition in the sense of having touch¬stones and a feeling that they’re not lost.This was a weird movie because even asit departed from the unexpected it was stillentertaining; you know it never got obs¬cure. Ih that sense it’s a movie, movie,movie, movie.GREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1986—5K!:IMBARK LIQUORS & WINE SHOPPE1214 East 53rd Street • In Kimbark Plaza SAU OATCSM/5 THIIU M/9/M493 3355ENTITY THE BESTBECKS6I2 0Z NR BTISWARM ONLY$399 VAN MERRITTFrom TH* Makers Of AUGSBURGER6 >2 OZ NR 8US2/*5 00 MICHELOB6 I?

It seems almost[sacreligious to try. Chicago was honored on[October 30, by a performance by Les Arts[Florissants, without doubt the premier inter¬preters of that most glorious period in the| history of music, the French Baroque. Theyj combine supreme musical sensitivity withscrupulous respect for authentic performancepractice, and the results are breathtaking.In the United States, Les Arts Florissants are! known primarily for their recordings (for Har-monia Mundi) of the music of Marc-Antoine' Charpentier (1634-1704), and their concert in¬cluded generous selections from his works.(They also performed works by lesser knownand earlier composers, Guillaume de Bouzi-gnac, Etienne Moulinie and Michel Lambert,beautifully illustrating the musical transitionfrom the Renaissance to the Baroque. Similarlyfortunate was the division of the program into asacred first half and a secular second. Thealternately heartrending and triumphant churchmusic of Bouzignac and Moulinie, led naturally,through Charpentier’s deeply religious but alsovividly dramatic Denial of St. Peter, to theoverly dramatic works of the second half. Fewperiods have blessed god with such emotionallycompelling music, and Les Arts Florissantsmore than did it justice. The audience wept atthe laments and rejoiced in the exaltations.Never have I experienced such pure, intensepassion through music.To counterbalance the passion of the firsthalf, the second was often comic. Lambert’sairs, each a perfectly formed miniature cantata,are love songs, moving but with a delicacyappropriate to courtly love. In violent contrastwere the openly bawdy selections of Satyr’ssongs from Charpentier’s Circe (feelingly pan¬tomimed on stage) and the indescribably funny Lm Arts Florissantsintermede written to accompany Moliere’sComtesse d’Escarbagnes. The performersclearly enjoyed this piece, which alternatesvarious animal calls (including donkey brays)and the most exquisite awful viol playing, with achorus of fools singing (off key) “Oh what alovely harmony.” Even listening to recordings,one cannot refrain from laughing On stage theeffect is uproarious. The program concludedappropriately with the second and, as an en¬core, the third scenes from Charpentier’s operaLes Arts Florissants, in which the forces of violence, in chorus, threaten to overthrow thenatural order, only to be subdued by the forcesof peace. This is bravura program music,recalling the chorus of furies in Cavalli’s ErcoleAmante and clearly anticipating both the styleand content of the prologue to Rameau’s Nai. Itis terribly demanding of the singers, and, whenwell performed, tremendously effectiveAnother nice feature of the program was thatit gave no undue prominence to any of theperformers; each had a fine selection of solos,and all worked together in seamless ensemble.ON SIGNS,INTIMACYANDOTHERNESScontinued from page 1his hearing. As in A Loss for Words, thecharacters grow into a deeper understanding ofthemselves and each other when cultural cate¬gories and group ethics are tossed aside inorder to focus on the complexity of the in¬dividual.The story centers on the character of Sarah.A former student at the school where Jamesteaches speech to deaf children, she refuses tolearn to speak or lip-read. She spends most ofher time in isolation from students and teach¬ers, cleaning and mopping as the school’scustodian She rebels when James tries tobefriend her and resents his offer to teach herperson marker to speak. Both the play and the movie depicther as an angry woman, embittered by a lifestripped of choices, and thwarted by the world’shostility toward deafness.However, the play differs from the movie inits depiction of Sarah, giving more meaning anddimension to her anger. It introduces us notonly to Sarah’s individual experience of pre¬judice, but includes her strong identificationwith the plight of deaf people in general. Shetells of the boys in her hometown, who tookadvantage of her sexually because she couldnot speak their language. She describes theteachers who thought of her as dumb orretarded for the same reason; and the in¬stitutions for deaf children, run by hearingpeople who neither empathized nor understood.Rather than deal actively with her pain,however, Sarah retreats into broad culturalcategories that isolate and protect her; shedevelops an explicit disdain for and distrust ofall hearing people, choosing to associate onlywith the deaf. When James asks what wouldhappen if she confronted her painful experi¬ences in the hearing world, she responds; “Iwould shrivel up and blow away.” Here, whenSarah signs the leaf, dried up and scattered tothe wind, she reveals how fragile her identity is,its meaning tied to the presence of the group(the other leaves on the tree).Not only does the movie reduce her sense ofcultural identification, but it eliminates thecharacter of Orin, a deaf rights activist whoprejudices Sarah’s interaction with the hearingworld. In the play Sarah tells James: “Orinthinks he’s the guardian of all us deaf childrenbecause he’s an apprentice teacher andspeaks... he wants to lead a revolution againstthe hearing world.” Orin resents Sarah’s rela¬tionship with James because “it isn’t as im¬portant as deaf rights.” Because James ishearing, Orin views Sarah’s love for him astraitorous. “It’s the oldest trick in the repressedminority handbook,” James complains toSarah, “He wants you to feel guilty for leavingthe flock.”By neglecting these influences on her char¬acter, the movie delivers a less subtle, lesscomplex portrayal of Sarah. Her outbursts ofrage and her stubborn refusal to learn to speakbecome merely a test of wills, a battlegroundfor Petruchio and his Shrew. Indeed, the playshows how her refusal to learn to speak reflectsher sense of cultural (not personal) identity: itdefines her as a deaf person, whose primaryallegiance is to deaf people, and whose Ianguage excludes most hearing peopleBy falling in love with James, appreciatinghis kindness and sensitivity, Sarah begins tosee a break-down of her cultural identificationand the artificiality of her choices. In fact, shecould learn to speak if she wanted to; she couldlearn to lip-read, in order to cope more easily inthe hearing world She chooses not to, becausethey break down a separation between the twoworlds James threatens Sarah’s sense of deafidentity: “I feel split down the middle, caughtbetween two worlds.” Sarah depends on thatseparation for her sense of her own excellenceand intelligence - qualities admittedly moredifficult for a deaf woman to convey to ahearing world. But James' appreciation for herlessens that fear. He helps her recognize theartificiality of the choices she leaves herself; thefact that she is merely playing roles; that she isnot true to herself At one point, James won¬ ders: “I don’t know which role you’re playinghere. Is this Sarah the Pure Deaf Person, orSarah Norman, the old isolationist maid, or isthis Sarah Leeds, teammate of James?”Sarah's choosing to connect with Jamesintimates that fragile sense of personal identity,her true needs and desires, uncontaminated bythe pressures of the group ethic. Both the playand the movie chronicle that struggle to realizewhat she truly wants for herself - independentof what others, including James and Orin, wantfor her. (Even James has moments of hearingpeople's arrogance: “Shut up!" he yells, pin¬ning down her hands, “You want to speak tome, then you learn my language'”)Others also compel her to learn to speak, tomake her like them, out of fear of her deafness.She rebels against speaking, because it is notpresented as an option for her to choose freely.Even when James suggests that she learn tospeak as a way for her to increase her in¬dependence, the choice carries the bitter tasteof conformity. In the isolated context of herrelationship with James, however, choosing tospeak can only intensify the bond. He has. afterall, already crossed the bridge halfway, bylearning to sign and by communicating withSarah exclusively in ASL.After a period of separation from James.Sarah recognizes how she uses her deafnessto manipulate and control others, including him,by forcing them to enter her silence. Thecultural barrier that protected her from mani¬pulation had the power to inflict the samefeelings of alienation, inadequacy, and other¬ness on hearing people, including James. Con¬templating returning to him, she signs one ofthe most poignant passages in the play:I’m afraid I would just go on trying tochange you. We would have to meet inanother place: not in silence or in soundbut somewhere else. I don’t know wherethat is now. I have to go it alone.By “not in silence or in sound,” Sarah refersto the defining idioms of the two "opposing"groups. Like Lou Ann Walker in A Loss forWords, Sarah comes to a sense of her own It seems contrary to the group’s philosophyto single out any for special praise. However, afew words are, perhaps, excusable. Central tothe ensemble is the genius of Mr Christie.Often playing both harpsichord and organ con-tinuo during the same piece, he keeps hissingers in perfect order without ever seeming toimpose or restrict. He is the ideal Baroqueconductor. Elisabeth Matiffa makes the bassviol into the expressive and supple instrumentthat it ought to be; in her hands the viol singsSoprano Claron McFadden and countertenorGerard Lesne are new and valuable additionsto the ensemble. Ms. McFadden is the onlyAmerican singer in the group (she now residesin Holland) but has perfect command of thesubtleties of French declamation. This is es¬pecially remarkable since she has only studiedthe language for a few years. Her perfect,vibratoless soprano is a model of proper bar¬oque style; light, effortless and intense. MrLesne, who succeeds the renowned DominiqueVisse, does not suffer in comparison. His voiceis very different, stronger and less smooth, butequally satisfying, especially in the operaticrepertory. The other singers are no whit inferior;one could not ask for a more perfect consort.The audience responded with thunderous ap¬plauseA pity that so few choose to attend thismagical evening. Both Chicago and the Uni¬versity should be ashamed. The poor showingon the part of the University community isespecially disgraceful. We ought to know bet¬ter. One student explained why he declined toattend: “I’ll wait for a real celebrity.” Studentsoften complain about the lack of cultural re¬sources in Chicago and Hyde Park. As long aswe ignore the resources we have, Chicago willremain a cultural desert.

She must begin to carveout and refine that buried seif. That processbegins with the accepting partner she finds inJames and. it seems, will continue in hispresence: “Because no matter who I am.someone inside me loves you very much.”Both women misunderstand the use of con¬cepts such as “culture:” not to provide values,feelings, or stereotypes that are true to thespiritual core of each member, but to provide alanguage - an intelligible access - for succinctlydescribing a particular community of people,without delving into the complexity of eachindividual And in transcending those pre¬scribed definitions of themselves, they ap¬proach a more articulate perception of theirown possibilitiesgrowGREY CITY JOURNAL—FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1986—7WOLE SOYINKA:WHO MUST THENEW GODS BE?by Martha OtisWole Soyinka, Nigerian poet, playwright,novelist and literary critic, was awarded theNobel Peace Prize for literature three weeksago. As the first African to be honored with thisprize, Soyinka brings recognition to the im¬portance of not only African writers, but of third-world writers in general. I was not alone incheering the choice.Three years ago I mentioned to an ac¬quaintance that I was interested in Africanliterature and intended to study more of it.“Hmm. Not much to study,” he laughed. I hada feeling he was wrong, and he was. Still in thestart of my research, I am constantly amazed atthe volume of literature put out by that conti¬nent. The volume is doubly remarkable whenyou consider Africa’s history, political instability,and economic strife, not to mention the fact thatliterary tradition was never part of indigenousAfrican art. Writing and formal education camewith colonialists and missionaries, and thosewho learned reading and writing formed an elitegroup, picked and trained for cooptation intothe lower bureaucratic levels of colonial or neo¬colonial systems.The very idea of Africa adopting and/ortransforming a literary tradition is exciting foranother reason. The history, wisdom, andimagination of its people were passed onthrough oral tradition; they were sung, danced,reenacted, dropped into young ears in a millionproverbs and maxims—the process always acommunal one. (It’s no coincidence that Af¬rica’s first Nobel winner is primarily a drama¬tist.) Moreover, the African artist was en¬couraged to reproduce over and over again thesame objects, stories, attitudes, truths. Thecriteria for judging his work were not typicalquestions as, “Is it beautiful?” but rather. “Is itcorrect according to the ancient truths? Is thestory recounted correctly in the way that ourancestors handed it down to us?Artisans were a conservative body whohelped cement the community and perpetuatetradition. “Art for Life's Sake,” not “Art ForArt s Sake.” one of my professors loved todescribe it. emphasizing that “art” never con¬stituted a separate aspect of African society,and that an artist existed not for his individualcreativity, to explore and expose his own psy¬che. but for the entire community. That a strong and extremely lively bunch of writers could risein so few generations from such a heritage isquite impressive from this standpoint.From another standpoint the transition isinevitable and crucial. Africans writing aboutAfrica are the only means by which some of usoccidentals will become familiar with Africa’spast or present, which includes our own role inits exploitation. For many African writers, theprocess becomes the only way to come toterms with the struggles between tradition andmodernity in their society, as well as with theirprecarious position in the larger world. Anywriter who can being us an understanding ofthese struggles deserves recognition. One whodoes so with the finesse, humor and compas¬sion of Wole Soyinka fully deserves bestowal ofthe Nobel Peace Prize, for he promotes peacein the very spirit of his efforts.Wole Soyinka was born in Ake, Nigeria, in1934 of Voruba parents. He studied at theUniversity of Ibadan, Nigeria, and the Uni¬versities of London and Leeds, England. Hehas been a fellow at Churchill College, avisiting professor at Sheffield University, and aprofessor of comparative literature at the Uni¬versity of Ife, Nigeria. He also holds an honor¬ary Doctorate of Letters at Vale University.Mainly a playwright, he has also published twonovels, a collection of criticism, a collection ofpoetry (smuggled out of Nigeria during hisincarceration during the Biafran civil war), andan autobiography entitled Ake. the Years ofChildhood.Soyika does not, as many francophone Af¬rican writers, concentrate on a violent con¬demnation of the colonial regime and theproblems of independence As most writerswho are products of British colonization(“indirect rule”) he tends more to explore theconfusions of a culture in a painful transition.He strives above all to recreate the Africanworld in its own context. He strongly opposesthe Negritude movement as promoted by Sen-galese poet and former president LeopoldSedar Seghor, professing it to be an ineffectiveantithesis to an old and enduring set of syllogi¬sms:a)Analytical thought is the mark of highhuman developmentThe European employs analytical thoughtThe European is highly developed Wole Soyinkab) Analytic thought is the mark of highhuman developmentThe African is incapable of analytic thoughtThe African is not highly developed(p. 127, Myth, Literature, and the AfricanWorld)The Negritude movement never destroyedthese syllogisms, according to Soyinka, butonly added to them that:c)The African is more highly developedbecause s/he can think intuitivelyThis created a faulty dichotomy between reasonand emotion, attributing one to Western manand the other to the African man. A newdefinition of “highly developed" does not suf¬fice in describing the African sensibility.Soyinka seeks to validate the African worldand its literature on its own terms. He usescomparative techniques not to bring two sepa¬rate worlds into the same moral and ethicalframework, but to bring about an understandingof the different origins of their literature In astatement of his position, he declares:.. We black Africans have been blandlyinvited to submit ourselves to a secondepoch of colonisation—this time by in¬BE AFRAID.BEVERYAFRAID.EXPERIENCEGREY CITYBRUNCH1221 E 57SUNDAYAT NOON s 4 i dividuals whose theories and pre¬scriptions are derived from the app¬rehension of their world and their history,their social neuroses and their valuesystems... It is time, clearly, to respondto this new threat, each in his own field...When ideological relations begin to deny,both theoretically and in action, thereality of a cultural entity which we defineas the African world while assertingtheirs even to the extent of inviting theAfrican world to sublimate its existenceto their’s, we must begin to look seri¬ously into their political motivation.(Myth. Literature, and the African World)Soyinka presents in his plays and in hisnovels the characters who form his Africanreality, and none of them are as simple to labelas the “intuitive African” or “the reasoningWesterner " Nor are they neatly divided intothose who promote the African tradition andthose who promote an occidental way of life.“The old way” is never idealized There is thecorrupt patriarch in “The Lion and the Pearl,”for example, "Baroka,” who works with theconviction that “the end justifies the means,”but whom we nonetheless admire both for hisinsight into human nature and for his clever¬ness. Although he represents tradition, he ismuch too corrupt an example for the youth tofollow. At the same time, “Lakunle,” the youngintellectual who represents progress and thenew world, is portrayed as one caught up in amovement which has alienated him from hisroots but has left him ill-equipped to embracemodern life.Evident in this dilemma is the question,“what remains sacred in this world, what is therole of tradition, who must the new gods, thenew matriarchs and patriarchs be?” In “TheStrong Breed,” Soyinka treats the spirit ofsacrifice. However, the only character whoembodies this spirit, vital for the yearly revi¬talization ritual of the village which is the settingof the play, is an outsider who at every turnspurns an unthinking, superstitious adherenceto such ritual. Because of his strong characterand ‘moral strength,’ he is in the end the onlyone worthy as sacrifice for the village’s conti¬nuity.Soyinka depicts in more detail the moraldilemmas of young Africa in his novel TheInterpreters. He grants the old gods immensepotency even in an urban setting. The problemhere is that a culture in transition cannot helpbut enrage its deities on every side, be theyChristian or Af rican. The African gods are stillalive, but forgotten, no longer worshipped orcared for, and they are rotting away, their angerwreaking havoc in the lives of the story’scharacters Christianity, on the other hand, isadopted only with a great deal of discomfortSoyinka's work has already gained him anappreciative audience. The award of the NobelPeace Prize will only widen that audience and,with hope, remain as evidence of the im¬portance and high quality of work being doneby African writers, he is one of those writersmore accessible to the Western audience, andin his deep understanding of African ritual,history and myth, can make a significant con¬tribution to our concepts of drama, and of theplace of literary form in contemporary societiesother than our own8—FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1986—GREY CITY JOURNALCOLUMBIA UNIVERSITYSCHOOL OF INTERNATIONALAND PUBLIC AFFAIRSRepresentatives will visit the University ofChicago on Monday, November 10 to provideinformation on the Master of InternationalAffairs and the Master of Public Administra¬tion degree programs.For an appointment, please sign up in advance at theCareer And Placement Services Office, 5706 S.

(fo Ot.Freshman women a valuable addition to fallBy Silvia JovelContributing writerAt a time when most freshmen werebusy making new friends, trying tofind their way around campus andworrying about all the other aspects ofO-week. there were a quiet few whohad already craved the storm by ar¬riving a week early These womenwillingly forfeited a week of theirsummer for ;.enms, volleyball, orsoccer. They subjected themseives to.ntense. pre-season work-outs that forsome included 6:00 a.m. practices. Butthough the talent these freshmen pos¬sessed was visible from the start, the1986 fall season proved to be a seasonthat brought more defeat than victory.Out at Washington Park, freshmenSarah Geenan Sarah Etz. CatherineIsbister. Ann Kaiser, and KristenLauder attempted tc help get a firstyear soccer program off the ground.The hard work and determination ofthese five, however, was clouded by adismal 1-12 record. Defensively, theteam relied on Isbister and Lauder.The offensive line included Geenan,Etz. and Kaiser.Illustrating the principle of deter¬mination in this group of new athleteswas Geenan. An eight year veteran ofsoccer. Geenan saw most of her timeon offense but likewise proved valu¬able on defense. Her ability to movethe oall past the opposition contrib¬uted one of the few goals of the seasonand made her one of the key playerson the team. Her face often marred by-dust and sweat, Sarah strove valiantlyfor that victory that aiwavs provedelusive. There was a style, a certain grace that was ever present in herplay First faking out one player, thendribbling past another, until, withhands extended in the air, she wouldput the ball where it was meant to be,Sarah proved no match for her opponents.New players to the volleyball pro¬gram this year were Kelly Britson,Karla Allen, Kathy Jo Jalovecky,Jamie Ramel and Lisa SpearmonThese five also showed tremendouspotential. Sharing the duties of outsidehitter were Allen, Jalovecky, andRamel. All three saw piaying time thisyear Coach Rosalie Resch believesthat they will improve as hitters witha little technique work and that theywill make a valuable contribution tothe program in the future. Middlehitters were Kelly Britson and LisaSpearmon. Spearmon, although lack¬ing in college-level game experience,showed determination and dramaticimprovement as the season prog¬ressed.Standing out among this energeticgroup of women is Kelly Britson. Anative of Whitewater, WI, Kelly was inthe starting line-up the entire season.Though her quick attack needs somework, Kelly is an effective offspreednitter and an excellent blocker. Askednow she felt about piaying volleyballon a collegiate level. Kelly stated thatit was no different from the work-outsshe had endured during high school‘The biggest change for me has beenthe emphasis placed on the mentalaspects of the game and not just thephysical,” she said. The intensityKelly saw in her fellow teammates isalways apparent in her. Kelly could be counted on to give 100% during everygameThe incoming talent for this yearalso made its appearance on the tenniscourt Sonal Shah, Anu Das, CindyCockrel, Diana Peterson, and RachelCunningham displayed a natural abi¬lity for the game that will make themhard to beat. Commenting on playersCockrel, Peterson, and Cunningham,Coach Simms stated, “The main thingI like about these three is their agg¬ressive attitudes. We have to developtheir skills, however, to take full ad¬vantage of this asset.” All threeproved to be excellent athletes whohelped the team with their winningefforts. Anu Das, although a soph¬omore, is essentially a new piayer.She joined the squad late last seasonand played only one match. “Anu isthe hardest working player on theteam and has some of the beststrokes commented Simms Accord¬ing to him. Anu can overcome her lackof tournament experience if she learnsthe mental aspects of the game. Shewill definitely challenge for a spot inthe top three singles. One of the up-and-coming new players is SonaiShan Having the most tournamentexperience, perhaps it wasn't surpris¬ing that Sonal also had the most winsof the season She began the season at*5 and finished at *3. Coach Simmsfeels she will definitely challenge thetop two piayer? this springThe cross-country team saw theirnumbers increased with experiencedrunners Ellen Bales, Dana Buc-cigrossi, Cynthia Kuo, and NiioferAhsan. Bales, an outstanding runner,has emerged as Chicago's #2 runner this season. Not far behind in experi¬ence or talent is Buccigrossi whocame in as #3 for Chicago at Carthage.Kuo, a four-year high school runner,has shown great determination andstrength this season. In seasons tocome Kuo is expected to make valu¬able contributions not only to cross¬country but also to track NiioferAhsan, the third Ahsan sister to cometo U of C and to Chicago athletics, hasalso shown promise. Due to an injuredankle however, she has seen little timeas an active runner. Coach Karluknevertheless expects she will be a bighelp to the team. Grace Chan, HelenDenham, and Dorothy Warner, arealso new to cross-country. But thoughthey have relatively little experienceas runners, the steady improvementthey have made throughout the seasonmakes them promising for next yearAccording to Coach Karluk. the newfaces out at Stagg Field this year are“in general a very pleasant group ofpeople who are hard workers. Theyare the foundation of wha . should be astrong team in years to come.’’And though victory has proved ephemeral for women's sports this fall, abrightness is cast on next year’s season. The potential and determinationevident in this group of freshmensheds hope for tomorrow. It is a hopeof victory, a hope that 1987 will proveto he Chicago's year and that the everelusive victory of this year will finallyhe brought home. The hopes for nextyear s victory lie in players such asGeenan. Britson. Shah Bales andBuccigrossi; athletes who in the midstof such defeat proved themselves to bevictorious.Michael Jordan brings unique style to basketballBy Sam D.
