The threatening skies and initial contusion as to where exactly JacksOD would appear seemed 10 "We must give thanks to God for allowing us to get so far," Jackson said. "The rainbow coalition is here." Mentioning his support for the f-qual Rights Amendment and the South African and Korean policy, he stated that these movements "will not be outside on the picket lines. They will have a candidate on center stage. ERA will be on center stage." Campaign '84 make the primarily black crowd OUUide the train station resiles-. "California here we come.

Jackson spoke ol his strong showing in Monday's New York primary as .1 major \ ictory, Jackson spoke of his opponents only briefly, concentrating more on his plan to cut military spending by 20 percent. "We can use that money to heal problems here at home," he said. "Our strength is in the Bill of Rights, not in a missile." The candidate also cited the importance of developing domestic strengths of "agricullurc, education, and our peaceful desire to survive." Jackson cited this week's fatal shooting of popular singer Marvin t iaye as an example of the need for handgun control. "Handguns serve no purpose on the streets of Philadelphia," he said. "This tragedy has a message: to remove the means." Jackson quickly shifted focus 10 the growing black political awareness, attributing his success in New York to this trend.

"There are several singers and celebrities that have come out in support of Hart and that are acting as surrogate speechmakers for Hart." /ticker said. "Stephen King. Mario Thomas, Robert Red ford, Warren Beatty, and MaO Tylet Moore are all making speeches for Hah."

Committee Co-Chairman Hope Schreiber said last night the bands arc not intended to replace Madness as the Spring Fling concert highlight, bul to provide alternate entertainment for the University. "We are extending the Quadrangle entertainment on Friday 10 cover the gap left by the canceled Palestra concert," said Schreiber, a College senior. > Schreiber said she believed that it was not feasible to recruit another band to play at the Palestra. "We were aware of other possible bands," she said. "We investigated them thoroughly, but we did not have confidence that they would have the necessary draw for the Palestra." "We had to use our judgement to decide what we thought would be successful and fun." Schreiber said. Schreiber said she believes thai students will enjoy the bands. "Beaver Brown has an East Coast following," she said.

The freshman, Jeff Shandel. said yesterday ihat he was attempting to Stop Sigma Nu brothers from beating up another party-goer when he was chased out of the house to 36th Street and I ocusi Walk, where he was .is costed by Sigma Nu brothers. Shandel said the brothers then dragged him back to the fraternity house and assaulted him again. But Sigma Nu President John Chaucer's Tales' told with humor McCieehan denied yesterday that the fraternity hurl either Shandel or. the other boy attending the pans. McGeehan said that police reports which claimed that the brothers injured Shandel also arc false. "We caught a boy at our party writing on our walls," McCieehan said yesterday. "But we did nothing to him. We brought him into our chapter room and kept him there until the police came." He said that there is no correlation between the Shandel incident and the disturbance caused by the boy writing on the walls at the party. McCieehan also denied the use of violence in either case.

And during breaks between acts, the audience is invited to wander around the sparsely decorated stage and buy orange juice.

"The people there ran out, about four of them to be exact. They caught him at Alpha Chi Rho and brought him back at which lime ihe police came." Shandel, a pledge at Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity, said that toward the end of the Sigma Nu party, he heard a group of the fraternity's brothers verbally attacking another male who they found writing on the fraternity's walls.

Other students were not as pleased with yesterday's announcement. College junior Chuck Block said he is disappointed that the committee could not find a replacement band to play at the Palestra. "It is a Penn tradition to h?ve a Fling band," he said. "I called to see it I could gel ■ band myself." he said. "I found that I could get a few. Some potentials were KC, the Bars, the Spinners, the Ramones and the SOS band." "I talked to (the committee] but they said it was too close to Fling to gel a big name group." Block said. "I was told 11 would cost too much to reprint tickets, cover the Palestra floor and rehirc security. It seems like a band could have been turned up."

No. 48 ® More than 180 scholars from around ihe world will convene at the University this weekend in a conference celebrating ihe ?5th anniversary of the publication of Simone de Beauvoir's the Second Sex, The conference, which is entitled "Alter The Second Sex: New Directions." will explore the current Status of women's studies and of women in society, conference coordinator Carroll Smith-Rosenberg said yesterday. "The focus of the conference is twofold — examination of the status and power of women in contemporary society, and exploration of Ihe slate of Women's Studies, in the 35 years since the publication of The Second Sex." said Smith-Rosenberg, chairman of the University's Women's Studies departmenl. The Second Sex, published in France in 1949 and translated into English only four months later, looks at the role of women in society — and whether that role is biologically or socially determined, SmithRosenberg added. "The Second Sex is considered the theoretical basis of contemporary feminism," she said. "It originated Ihe question of 'what is woman'." The first major event of the conference will take place tonight as Harvard University Romance Languages Professor Barbara Johnson speaks on the topic of black women in literature. Renowned poet Nikki Giovanni will read from her works tomorrow night, and Ms. magazine woman of the year Carol (nllig.111 will give a Saturday night lecture on the differences between men and women. Following (iilligan's speech. California anist Faith Ringold will give a multi-media presentation on the art ol women and blacks. Sunday's events will feature hack-to-back panel discussions Third World feminism and on feminist movements in America two on the and Europe. Other panel discussions isill locus on the role of women in war. in the media, in advertising, in theater, and as wrilers, mothers and daughters. The conference will also explore how feminists today view de Beauvoir's work. Smith-Rosenberg said, adding that she hopes the conference will facilitate the creation ol a feminist network reaching across national barriers. She added lhat she expects "111,1101 breakthroughs in scholarship as a result of ihe conference." "We arc developing methodological approaches and discovering things about the distribution of power and class relations, and the nature ol history, which are central to all approaches," Smith-Rosenberg said. "We are questioning the ways m which women and men are different and the same," she added. Conference coordinator Deborah Levinson said she believes lhal The Second Sex was a landmark publication because of its thorough examination of women in society. "It's almost required reading for feminists." she said. levinson added lhal panel participants in the conference will discuss the ways in which women have advanced in the 35 years since the publication of de Beauvoir's bestknown work.

By a vote of 59-36. the lawmakers rejected a proposal by Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont to bar the president from sending U.S. armed forces into El Salvador or Salvadoran airspace for combat unless Congress has declared war or enacted a specific authorization. Leahy said he made his move, as an amendment to an appropriations bill containing $61.7 million in emergency military aid for the Salvadoran regime, because of his "clear conviction that we are going to reach the point of having American combat forces in LI Salvador within a year." First India cosmonaut in space MOSCOW - India's lirsi cosmonaut and his two Soviet colleagues docked their spacecraft with an orbiting space station yesterday to begin a month that will include weightless yoga exercises, Sovicl television and the official new! agency Tass said the Soyuz T-ll linked up with the Salyut 7 25 hours after the Soyuz T-ll blasted off from Soviet central Asia. The television footage did not show the cosmonauts transferring to the station to greet the three Soviet spacemen who have been aboard the Salyut 7 since February 9. diency. Democrats hope to capitalize on the issue. They have started using a television commercial emphasizing ethical questions raised against Reagan appointees. "1 believe the halls of government are as sacred as are temples of worship." the president said. He said he expects high standards of integrity among his people. But, he said, he also respects the old America tradition that "you are innocent until proven guilty." But pictures from the flight control center in Baikonur showed officials watching a large screen with the Soyuz T-ll approaching the orbiting space station. The spectators burst into applause as the two vehicles appeared to link up four minutes ahead of schedule. Indian cosmonaut Rakesh Shartna, flight commander Yuri Malyshev. 42, and flight engineer Gennadi Strckalov, 43. are to conduct some 43 experiments aboard the Salyut 7 before returning to Earth on April 10, Soviet officials have said. Among the experiments will be one in which Shatma will practice yoga to test its effect on space sickness. Potential AIDS cure found BOSTON - Researchers have discovered a key, potentially treatable, defect in the immune systems of AIDS victims, strengthening the hope that interfcron will be the first effective medicine for the lethal disease. They said their findings "can be viewed as encouraging," because in the test lube, at least, interferon will restore the ability of AIDS victims to ward off germs. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome destroys the body's power to repulse oven the most ordinary viruses and bacteria. Many AIDS patients become overwhelmed by everyday microbes, and it is these "opportunistic infections" that often kill them. The researchers found that AIDS victims do not produce a substance called gamma interfcron, a vital link in the body's intricate defenses against disease.

The protest was held outside Low Library before and after a debate between the three Democratic presidcmial candidates. Chanting "Divest now," "Trustees, you know, South Africa slocks have got to go," and singing "We Shall Overcome," the protestors vied with student supporters of Gary Hart .and Walter Mondale, who counterchanted "Ga-ry, Ga-ry" and "Who do we want? — Fritz." In an appearance at Wollman Auditorium after the debate, presidential hopeful Rev. Jesse Jackson said, "This university, or any other university, cannot mainlain its credibility dealing with South Africa." Columbia currently has $44 million worth of holdings with companies operating in South Africa. "W'c can give South Africa a deal it cannot refuse," Jackson said. "If you don't talk, you don't act. If you don't act you don't change anything." He added that leaders must negotiate "in order to overcome apartheid." Jackson said that if all companies pull their investments out of South Africa, it will be forced to "choose the most civilized" option. President Sovern, who held a reception for Jackson and CBS anchor Dan Rather after the debate in the trustees' room of Low, said he did not see the South Africa protestors on Low Plaza. Sovern said he was "not surprised" they chose the occasion to protest. wmmm THi: DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN - Thursday, April 5, 1984 PACK 3 'Pippin:' the pace quickens as Fling nears Cast, crew prepare for the big day B> SUSAN MATTISINKO The production has been planned for months. Ihc nerve-wracking auditions are over and the GUI carefully picked. But the most difficult aspect of the production of Quadramic's Spring Fling production ol /';/'/"" begins with rehearsals. Quadramic's Stage Manager Jenny Peek said that in the earls stages of the show, the chorus rehearses about three nights a week for four hours a night, depending Anatomy of a Play Last ol three weekly stories on producing a show on the scene. Pippin'* schedule dis ides into separate dance, vocal and scene rehcarsls. "I'm usually at every rehearsal." said Peek, a College junior. "I keep notes of all the blocking, where everybody is standing. I also cue the casl during scenes when we ate oil book." One cast member describes Ihc stage manager's role: "Jennj |Peek] is the den mother for the cast and . production staff. She makes sure thai the cast is at the right place at the right time." "Rehearsals are work. It is worse than taking an extra class" the BC tor added. And the "den mother" explained that vocals, dances and lines lor each scene are coodinatcd in a three-day period. "They'll learn this dance at one shot for two hours and probably won't go through it again until a runthrough," she said. There are also individually scheduled day rehearsals for the leads with Musical Director John Pike. "I need at least a hall hour with each individual." Pike said. "Even il it is a duet, I work with each student separately at lirst." "Before we even start singing we disCUSS style — what we want to do with it. And the we make adjustments as we go along." he add- ed. In a typical two-hout rehearsal, the chorus learns one and a ball vocal numbers. Usually the the cast goes over the vocals before the choreography so as not to "cans OVB had breathing habits." Pike added said he tries to make actors aware of what to listen for. "A lull orchestra sounds dillerent from one piano," he said. While the cast is hard at work in rehearsal, there is anothet group hard at work below the stage of Irvine Auditorium.

Penn Union Council is sponsoring Ihc appearance of Chicago City Limits, a 14-mcmber comedy troupe which will present a Iwo hour collection of quick, snappy paced skits this weekend. The group specializes in intprovisational performances, and each show is different because the group takes - and performs - suggestions from the audience. The skits presented on campus will be geared to Ihe audience, although Chicago City I units will also intersperse the group's usual material, which includes both serious and humorous subjects, Chicago City Limits, which has performed at more than 100 colleges, has been working together ai a traveling group for the past three and one half years. The National Academy of Concert ■Mflg and C abarel Acts bestowed the group with its "Best Comedy Group Award" - an honor which has earned the group national recognition. I sther I agles. the comedy troupe's agent, described the skits as "off-the-wall renditions of the very common and the not so common." 1 agles said the show's content ranges from satires on an average man's daily life to songs about herpes and navel lint. Ihe group which was originally started six years ago in Chicago, has been compared by critics lo ihe hit comedy group, Second City Television. Laglcs said that the comparison is not a good one because the two groups are very different.

While admirable progress has been made in some are.is. including the renovation <>i Franklin Field currently underway, much remains to be dune. Although man) athletic and recreational resources .ire outstanding, the dilapidated condition ol some athletic facilities is .i serious hin dranee to recruiting efforts. For example, the University is the only Ivy I eague school other than Columbia which does not have an indoor track. I xisting conditions simply do not meet athletes' training needs. I he Othei side ol the coin is that workout areas foi students are woefully inadequate. "During cold weather, the recreational facilties at Penn are not adequate." one official says, And while one in eight students is a varsity athlete, some lo.tHKi to 11.IKK) students use the recreational equipment. students ollen must wail ,il leas! 45 minutes for a basketball at Gimbel Gymnasium, and because facilities are not restricted to students, competition for them is even sharper. Limited hours exacerbate the problem. It's fine thai the workout areas are also open to non-students, but conditions seem to call for offering some hours in which facilities arc only open to students as a way ol easing the problem. Access to recreational facilities is essential for good health and stud) routines, and it is often difficult for students to put workout time into their class schedules. A planning document released by President Sheldon Mack ne\ calls for raising $8 million to build a new athletic complex. However, due to a complicated fundraising process including the approval of the funding proposal by the senior ad ministration and Athletic Department, it will be 36 to 48 months before money can actually start being raised. The problem is. the University needs that money now to improve the quality ol life. BLOOM COUNTY/Berke Breathed AgWI/OiY 51 INKY IM «s.

As a rumpled Barney Irank and a plumed Phil Crane prepared to kick off the president's forum on improving the American political system, "more than 200 people," according to the liberally estimated DP figure. were filing in to witness the muchhallyhooed debate between the two congressmen. Since many of those couple of hundred were not University students, the response to the debate could hardly be considered encouraging. And it just happened that the debate turned out to be one of the most electrifying of all such political encounters staged at Penn, Democrat Irank. eyes bulging and finger stabbing at the air. repeated!) interrupted Crane's remarks to loudly rebut the conservative's calls for more defense spending and cuts In social programs. Of course, the two never quite got around to discussing the structure Ot the American political system — the topic ol the debate and the forum but ii was an illuminating experience nonetheless loo bad more Students weren't around to share it. It's eas) to blame apathy for the lack ol attendance ai the Frank-Crane debate. It's been said so many limes i I' s become a cliche: pr e professionally minded siudents won't leave Roscngarlen for anything less than a nuclear war, unless of course you count the semi annual exodus to Deep Throat or one of PUCs other porn pageants. Also, ii would make sense to shovel some ol the blame on the 1 ndergraduate History Club, which managed to schedule President Sheldon Hackney speaking on why he became I historian ("I remembered how poor we had been when my lather had been a journalist") at the same time as ( rane and Irank were tooling up tor their exchange. But even it every pre-med stayed in the library and every history major sat in on the Hackney talk (actuall) only 60 did), there were still thousands ol students left at Penn to enioy the political debate. so obvious!) mans students political science majors included didn't go to the debate because they weren't inspired to do so. And that's the fault of the administration and the faculty-student committee that helped plan the lorum. The idea ol an annual forum on an issue ol national importance is a tremendous one.! asi year's forum on preventing nucleai war. the first of the now annual events, captured the attention ol much of the campus. Un- ^^ fortunately, this year's forum, despite the Presidential election, has not. To recapture some of the the attention and assure the success of future forums, the administration should take steps to broaden the scope'of the projects - specifically, they should design more substantive sessions at which Students, faculty members and national figures can actually discuss issues. This year's forum has amounted to little more than a parade of speakers; most of whom don't even address the issues at hand. There arc a few exceptions, like the Political Participation Center's conference later this week, but such events arc not clearly enough linked to or publicized in conjuclion with the centerpiece attractions of the forum. As one of many students who are critical of and interested in the American political system, I would like to have an opportunity to leallv discuss the issues in an organized way with faculty members and those closely connected with national politics. Too often the cookies-and-soda receptions after forum events digress into specific political issues Barne) Irank and Phil (rane expounding on school prayer, for example. - and leave questions about the political system unaddressed I ee Benson, one ol the University's most prominent critics of the American political system, is fond of saying how a few years ago Students were considered the primary source of new ideas in the country. Nowaday-, the zenith ol student political consciousness is frank 1 lint/ luring William F. Buckley to speak on Ivy Day or the College Democrats gearing up to endorse Tom loglietta for Congress. Hackney's lorums could be a vehicle to change all that. Mr one thing, the administration could encourage students and professors u> hold joint discussions ol specific issues, like the idea of a single six-year presidential term, the public financing of campaigns, the forming of a possible Constitutional Convention, the yoke Of the two-parly system, or the role of Political Action Committees in elections or the rise of special interest politics. the forum could also draw attention to new ideas through student essay contests and the publication of a record of the scholarship .at the forum. Speakers, too. could have their topics more closelv defined. It would have been nice to hear Phil Crane speak only on the need for a single presidential term, or Barne) Irank support his call for public financing Ol Congressional campaigns. In many ways, the problem with the lorum is unlike most of the other issues on campus. In tins case, we aren't struggling to achieve something oilier universities have. The presidential forums oiler a chance for Penn to pioneer a major educational initiative that's all its own.

A cursory examination of history is enough to belie lhat argument. Many of the more barbaric proceedings against women and minorities were perpetrated by non-whites. In certain patis of China, it was considered fashionable to mutilate women's feet, making them perpetual cripples. In India, widowed wives were expected slaves of the conquerors. Although whites have many things of which to be ashamed, they are neither the creators nor the only practices of discrimination as others would have us believe. It is my belief that any ethnic group that gained the dominance gained by whites over the world would have perpetrated crimes just as horrible. It is not "the while man" or "the white race" that is at fault. The whites were the first people to exercise power on a world-wide scale. Historically, the exercise of power has created large injustices. Whites are no more evil than any other race - they were jusl the first to exercise that evil on a to kill themselves as they had no use world-wide scale. to society except as their husbands' In fact, the white race has given wives. much to the world.

During the ancient we stand on the brink of either Aryan invasions of India, all of the creating or destroying the first truly initial inhabitants of the area became global civilization. But times of in- tegration arc usually stressful. People have to give up old beliefs and accept new ones. Whites may not continue to dominate the apparatus of world civilization they have created, but they have created that apparatus. Talking about making "the white man" accept resonsibility for "his crimes" ignores the true issue al stake in world history. Not only while men now have the power to destroy the world or poison the earth. Anyone can do that tfcw. The true challenge is to erase these destructive tendencies in all human beings - not just men, not just whites. Asking white men to bear the burden of resonsibility for the world's evils is unreasonable and dangerous, because it allows other people to escape their own responsibility. Almost all races and sects, and both sexes have their own reasons to be ashamed. Trying to mete out responsibility distracts humans from dealing with the true issue — creating a humane human society.

April 5, 1984 Medical pioneer Salk to speak on evolution B> MARCKI (.ARAII) Polio vaccine inventor Jonas Salk will discuss his theory of evolution in a University conference tonight. Co-sponsored by the Philadelphia chapter of the American Institute of Architects and the Foundation for Architecture, the speech will be held a( 7:30 p.m. in the University Museum Harrison Auditorium. The talk, entitled "The Architecture of Reality," is the second in the annual Lewis I. Kahn commemorative lecture series celebrating the 10th anniversary of the architect's death. Andrea Mechanick, .acting executive editor of the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, said last night that the speeech will be based on Salk's current thinking on evolution as described in his recent book "The Anatomy of Reality, Merging of Intuition anil Reason." "The Institute of Biological Studies is dedicated not only to experimental biology, but also to reconciling biological knowledge, philosophy and moral problems." she said. "Dr. Salk's book is dedicated to the latter half." Mechanick said that Salk, who currently directs the Salk Institute of Biological Studies, will address the issues of evolutionary progress and the interrelation of architecture and evolution. "|He will discuss) how the built environment not only reflects but also portrays how man is evolving," she said. Mechanick added that Salk and Kahn have been close friends. Kahn. a former University Architecture professor, designed Salk's Institute in La Jolla, California. "Dr. Salk is coming as a tribute to his old friend," she said. Marc Ueland, president of the Philadelphia chapter of the American Institute of Architects, said last night that the talk would interest people because of current research in areas such as genetics and gene splicing. "I think it will be interesting to anybody who is concerned with the issue of reconciling biological research with . moral problems," Ueland said. "It is interesting to listen to someone who is creative in his own field."

A two-day election for the nine board positions was held earlier this week, but produced no winner for the posts of president, vice president and treasurer. Joe Galli faces Chris Hein in the presidential run-off, while Hope Kider will battle Adam Winick for vice president and Steve Sosnick and Laura Reim will run off for treasurer. Karen Barr was elected secretary. The run-off will be organized by this year's senior class board. Senior Class President David Smith said last night that the run-off is being held because "nobody in these elections won by a 50 percent majority." He said that 612 people voted in the elections. "We arc very pleased with the turnout." Smith said.

This bit provides a wildly funny example of combining the absurdly new with the antiquated. The success of the production lies in Bogdanov's mastery of interpreting language from the Middle Ages and modernizing it. Although the dialogue occasionally stops being Chaucer's and continues as New Vic '84 repartee, the wit and humor is stylistically and spiritually from the man himself. Bogdanov's Wife of Bath's tale contains ihis rhyming couplet: "It's not that you've committed a sin; you're just a hag with a hairy chin." These aren't Chaucer's words, but they represent a lively updating of Chaucerian humor which is both relevant and necessary to a good present-day performance. Just as they would have been six centuries ago, the players are comprehensive entertainers, capable of musical as well as dramatic feats. Man> scenes were complemented with flourishes of song. In the Reeve's tale, the horse even plays the piano. Canterbury Tales relies on blunt 20th century revelry and a deliberately colloquial presentation for its success in maintaining the art of Chaucer's work as well as adding a great deal of laughter.

If this plan goes to fruition, we'll have one of the nicest intramural complexes around. It'll be one continuous student athletic facility." Thus, in the past few years another Ivy school has made the commitment to spend millions of dollars to upgrade both its recreational and intercollegiate facilities. The difficulties of acquiring land for recreational use in a metropolitan area such as Philadelphia has been an obstacle to expansion of facilities. However other "city schools" with severe space problems, such as Georgetown, have been able to overcome those problems, building facilities which are capable of meeting the needs of their student bodies. Until recently, Georgetown had no recreational facilities whatsoever on campifs. That changed with the construction of the Yatcs Field House, a 150,000-square foot multi-sport complex. "We are really landlocked here at Georgetown," Yaies Complex Director Denis Kanach said. "The cost of land is prohibitive in our area, so we built our facility underground and put an astroturf field on the roof." "The facility is used almost exclusively for recreational activity," Kanach added. "The only varsity team receiving priority usage is the swim team." Of all the Ivy League and metropolitan schools, Columbia is the only one who is experiencing the same kinds of urban space and renovation problems as Penn is. The Dodge Physical Fitness Center is Columbia's one-and-only athleticbuilding on campus. The four-story building includes two gyms, two weight rooms, a judo room, a karate room, a fencing room, two pools, 18 (Continued from back page) lions of (heir older athletic buildings in the near future. Although Dartmouth has not yet expanded or renovated its athletic facilities, the school has set a timetable for future construction and is now actively raising funds. "Between varsity athletics, physical education classes [a requirement for graduation] and intramurals," Dartmouth Physical Education Director Ken Jones said, "there isn't any general recreational space available for those who just want to pop in and shoot a few baskets. Our upstairs gym is basically used for intramurals and it's about half the size of Hutchinson [at Penn| - that isn't an awful lot of space." But Dartmouth plans to change all of that. "We're in the fundraising stage of building a new gymnasium." Jones explained. "It should include three varsity si/c basketball courts, squash and racquetball courts, a new rifle range, plenty of additional locker room space and several large multipurpose areas for aerobic dance." Dartmouth officials hope to break ground for this project next April. However, intramural and recreational space at Dartmouth will increase even sooner. The Dartmouth athletic department received approval this winter to construct an outdoor intramural complex which would consist of eight adjoining fields and an intramural/recreational clubhouse. No other Ivy league school has such exclusive outdoor facilities for intramural athletics. "It'll be a little further away, about a mile from the center of campus." Jones said. "But we still have space available for expansion like this on the outlying fringes of campus. And squash and racquetball courts and all of Columbia's athletic offices. It also houses all of Columbia's intramural activities. Considering Columbia's amount of available space and how this space is maximized, the Dodge Center is a tight yel efficient athletic facility. However, with the recent consortium agreement between Columbia and Barnard College, the Dodge Center can no longer provide for all of the Columbia's needs. "We need to accommodate women's athletics now," Columbia Assistant Sports Information Director Bill Steinman stated. "In the fall. all of Barnard's intercollegiate teams will be considered under the name of Columbia. This means a needed expansion of our offices, weight rooms and training rooms. And everything already is sandwiched in as you would expect it to be on an urban campus." Due to its crowded location. Columbia has neither an indoor track nor an outdoor track. Therefore, the Columbia track team must use the facilities of Manhattan College and Fairleigh-Dickinson University (in New Jersey) in order to practice and compete. And the school's intercollegiate outdoor facility. Baker Field, is located 100 blocks north of campus. Simply on the basis of comparison with other large institutions, Penn has neither the best, nor the worst athletic and recreational facilities at this time. However, many of the schools with below average facilities are now implementing major expansion plans. If Penn does not follow suit, the effects can only be negative for both the athletic programs and the University in general. • INSURANCE AVAILABLE ONE MONTH FREE RENTAL FOR NEW CUSTOMERS ■ • 1* PENN XAGE )NAlS SELFVSTORAGI BUTTONS 41st & Chester Avenue, Ptiila..

How can a tremendous projeel such as the proposed fieldhouse be underiaken if there isn't better communication and coordination between various segments of the administration? Whether or not the rink is converted, the administration must move speedily, yet be careful not to cut corners and skimp on the quality of the project, only to have it become obsolete (like the inadequate recreational basketball and weightlifting GRAD facilities in (umbel Gym. which was constructed in the 1960's). The proposed complex offers the opportunity for the athletic department to correct the inconsistencies in quality of facilities and equipment, especially inequities between men's and women's teams. Until the new complex is built, the athletic department must continue to place student needs at the top of its agenda. If Pcnn hopes to attract the best student-athletes in the country it must offer the best urban facilities possible. And soon.

'( ontlnued / the league Bui once we vet OUT new building, well rank right up there " - Ken Jones, Dartmouth College Physical I ducaiion Dim tot So where does that leave Penn? Recently, the University has taken steps to upgrade its athletic and recreational facilities. But those steps have been small compared to what has been accomplished al the other Ivy schools For many years. Brown I niversity was extremely deficient m us athletic and recrca tional facilities, rwo small gymnasiums on campus - oneoi them, the main facility for Brown's intercollegiate basketball team — were hardly adequate fot the recreational de-sues ol the growing student population. Three years ago. Brown unveiled the Olney Margolies Athletic Center, a $7.5 million multi-purpose complex devoted to intramural and recreational activities. In doing so. Brown leapt from the Ivy League facility cellar to its penthouse. "Prior to the [Orney-Margolies] Center, our athletic buildings couldn't be used for recreational or athletic purposes due to conflicts with varsity basketball." Brown Assislant Facilities Manager Julie Dixon said. Facilitating Sports at Penn Last m a four-part series on the status of athletic and recreational facilities r "And for the most part, our two gyms weren't even adequate for our varsity teams. "But now we have an open floor, multipurpose facility reserved almost exclusively for intramurals — it's open for everyone. And we don'i close it (Olney-Margolies) for varsity teams. Since the building opened, there has been an enormous increase in intramural and recreational participation on the Brown campus." Among Other things, Olney-Margolies contains four full basketball courts, an indoor track, numerous tennis courts, a dance studio, two weight rooms (one Nautilus, the other free-weight), and locker facilities for all varsity and intramural athletes. Topping the center is Warner Roof, an artificially surfaced playing field, home of the Brown field hockey team and intramural sports. Brown has essentially created — where there was once no room — a full modem athletic complex, regulation playing field and all. Harvard University has recently finished a total athletic plant facelift, moving the entire complex across the Charles River to the Boston side of the campus. The abandoned varsity buildings on the Cambridge campus arc now exclusively used for intramural and recreational purposes. "We've just spent $30 million — now we're completely redone and expanded," Harvard Athletic Director John Reardon said. "We now have new track and tennis facilities as well as a new ice rink and a new swimming complex. And we've converted our indoor baseball [Briggs] cage into a Softball takes 5-0 mark into contest with Drexel today B> DAVID BRAIL ir, the Penn softball team has cruised to a 4-0 Start, lod.iv. thai unblemished record will be put on the line .n Drexel And to say the least, the game looks to be neither .1 high-scoring slugfcsi. nor the easiest W«) 10 reach 5 0 I he Dragons are led by starting pitcher I is.i Schramm one ol the besl hurlers in the Philadelphia area She ",i- good enough to play last summer in the 1.1-1 ( oasi I eague, the top women's softball league in the l "It we can beat their pitcher, we'll be Drexel," Penn ich l inda < Brothers said.

The team formerly practiced and played its home games on the fourth floor of an old gymnasium building, Indoor Athletic Building (IAB). Now, with the seven-year building project completely finished, the IAB has been designated as the next target for renovation by the Harvard Athletic Department. "We'll renovate the IAB for intramurals and recreation," Reardon said. We're hoping to finish sometime in the summer of 1985. And we plan to build a mezzanine over the IAB pool for more recreational floor space. Once upon a time, our facilities were in pretty terrible shape - now overall, I'd say our facilities are pretty good." Both Brown and Harvard have made excellent use of the space available to them on crowded urban campuses. Their recent athletic expansions have resulted in increased intramural interest on the part of the student bodies. And both schools plan rcnova(Continued on page 12) Struggling Ursinus battles W.

Also remember to emphasize was. Because not only has the Grizzlies' program lost its luster, it has lost its notoriety as well. So when Penn (1-1) takes on its once-unbeatable, now-unknown nonleague opponent (Franklin Field. 6:30), it will not know what to expect. "I don'i know a thing about them," Cathy D'lgnazio said. "All I know," co-captain Judy Sandier said, "is that they play manto-man defense, and that's good for us. Presumably, we'll play the same strategy as against Brown." In Monday's 16-6 victory over the Bruins, that strategy worked to perfection. At least for the first half. "We did constructive things against Brown." D'lgnazio said, "but then again, they weren't that good. And they did stay with us in the second half [each team scored five goals in the halt] "We had that feeling of control which allowed us to develop a lot of continuity. We saw how we should be working together. Hopefully, that will carry over." "Against good teams, and we have a lot of them on our schedule," D'lgnazio continued, "it's hard to establish that feeling of control like DP Jeannine Gotl Jl'DY SAMPLE! 7 think we're ready' we Had on Monday. So it's good to be able to have that in a game situation." Could it be that the Quakers will find that same feeling in another game situation, the one against Ursinus? "1 hate to go into any game thinking that we're better," D'lgnazio said, "or that we're going to win. I have to assume that the other team is going to be good."

Despite what Mr. Canellos says, riding on Amtrak is one of the most frustrating, time-consuming, and expensive things a person can do. While 30th Street Station is a beautiful building, it certainly does not have a "mammoth clock." Mammoth is a word reserved for things like Newsweek's clock in Grand Central. |ust outside New York, there is a twenty-minute stop. Always. Twenty-minute stop. Period. Of course, paying for a ticket does not guarantee you a seat. The trains are always crowded and some people are always standing in the aisles or sitting between cars. In spite of the fact that there is often a nearly empty first class car. The only people in that car are the food seller and five or six trainmen. more zealous high school teachers managed to even pare this form down into four, one sentence components: goal, conflict, climax, and conclusion - supposedly the essence of any work, be it short story or novel. When I hit college, I was considered to be literate, having mastered this form. Yet problems arose when I had to write more than five pages on a single topic. Although I was organized, I was also hopelessly tongue-tied. After all, in high school, four carefully chosen sentences about Huckleberry Finn had gotten an "A" from one of the school's toughest teachers. Shock set in — and I have yet to be able to write more than 20-page papers on anything. You see. what becomes important for the first time in college is something called style, the ability to inject some personality and point of view into written words. But unlike previous schooling, there's rarely anyone to help you along and experimentation on the wrong paper can prove to be disastrous. My solution was to write exactly the way I talk, resulting in a convoluted but personal prose. For many people, this is too much of a leap to make. One new writer for 34th Street was disconcerted as I inserted his verbal criticisms into a previously innocuous review. He was concerned about writing down his own harsh views for public consumption - he had a hard time accepting his own opinions when set in type. Yet his points, once he made them, were very well taken. Style can make a big difference in writing. Several teachers have The temperature control system on the train must be extremely complex, because it often breaks. Sometimes, it becomes unbearably hot or cold aboard the train. As each person complains to the trainman, he always answers, "Yes we know. We just fixed it. It'll be all right soon." It never gets better. There's a lot of other minor inconveniences that pop up when you're a frequent Amtrak passenger. But by far the worst evil of the train is the price. Amtrak has a monopoly and this allows them to charge exorbitant fares. Oh sure, they have "excursion fares," but these 25 percent discounts are not available on weekends or holidays, when most people use Amtrak. You can fly to Boston and back for $88. including the limo to and from Philly International and it will take about four hours. The same trip on Amtrak costs $108 and takes twelve hours. |ohn Zucker S.E.A.S. 84 given me good grades on papers making particular comment about my "elegant" writing. These same teachers have also told me that my points* were a bit screwy, but my style saved me. Let's hear it for convoluted sentences. So what's my point? We all need editors. Penn requires a basic proficiency in English, but this proficiency is oriented towards the same analysis we were taught in high school. There aren't nearly enough expository writing courses to encourage personalized writing and they are not required. The whole writing program is in danger. Apparently, the university wants to institutionalize this dichotomy in education. When people write for publication - amateur or professional, journalist or novelist - their work is guided by someone trying to make the subject clearer, without adding their own opinion. If educators were a little more concerned about how people write, we would all be trained as editors, in order to clean up not only our own prose but that of our friends. Once people are more at ease with the simple task of writing, they would then be able to return to the more important issue of presenting insightful, lucid thoughts. There is a vicious circle at work here, one which stems back to basic philosophy about how to develop writing: should thoughts or presentation be worked on first. The solution: work on them simultaneously, so that people can present their views as easily on paper as they can orally. We often hear condemnations of style without substance, but who really wants to read substance without style? ■ FRIDAY & SATURDAY AT MIDNIGHT SUNDAY AT-.1:00 A Taste of ._ «a>~, LATE SHOWS During April ft May THEATRE or THE LIVING ARTS 334 SOUTH STREET-9 J2-.010 SideStreets The Emerald City Oz fanatics lionize Dorothy & friends By Kathryn Gregorio Believe it. At this very moment nearly 2000 perfectly- sane people from all over the world devote themselves to Dorothy. Toto and the rest of The Wizord of Oz crew. Members of the International Wizard of Oz Club are avid fans of the 1939 movie version of the story that most people lose interest in by fifth grade. However, a common interest in the entire 40-part Oz novel series, particularly the original 14 written by L. Frank Baum. most unites the members. These "Ozzians" could be compared to an academic KrouP studying a specific discipline like economics. Fred Myer, an English and history teacher in Escanaba. Mich., is the leader of the Ozzians. According to Myer, the club's ultimate goal is "to translate Oz into a real life experience." For most of us, running into the Wicked Witch of the West or a flying monkey would be a chilling thought. But not for intrepid Wizard of Oz Club members. Their highly successful 1979 convention was graced by Margaret Hamilton, the Wicked Witch of the 1939 movie. "She came by plane, of course, not by bicycle," Myer reported. The club's holds these conventions tri-annually. The next one will be this summer in that capital of munchkins and cowardly lions, Wilmington. Del.! Toto fans will be out in force, and Disney Studios has promised to send movie representatives and paraphenalia from their new fantasy/adventure motion picture version of Oz. Fairuza Balk (no. it's not a typo), the nineyear-old recently selected to play the coveted Dorothy role, might even put in an ap- pearance. The upcoming film will be more extended than the older version, including both the Land of Oz, and Ozma of Oz stories. Myer could barely control his enthusiasm over the multi-million dollar venture. "Ohhh, yeees!" ho exclaimed. "We are veeeery excited!" The organization also publishes a magazine that comes out three times a year. It contains scholarly interpretations of the Oz book series and reproductions of pictures from the movie versions — none of which are accurate. Myer rues bitterly. Probably most important to readers is the list of addresses of Oz memorabilia traders printed in each magazine. The forthcoming issue will also include a complete list of every language the Oz series has ever been translated into. Eager "beaver Ozzians have even found translations in Turkish and The newest visitor to Oz - Fairuza Balk lapanese! If you have nothing to trade, and are not interested in acquiring the Turkish edition of Ozma ofOz. don't despair. In Chester, Ind.. an enterprising Oz fanatic has started a store, appropriately named "The Yellow Brick Road."

New Philly residents soon realize that there is a "jeweler's row" somewhere near 8th and Walnut Streets No one bothers to mention that just three blocks away is an area that should be dubbed "costumer's row." The 1100 block of Walnut Street has two costume shops more than in all of West Philadelphia. These two shops, Pierre's Costumes and the Philadelphia Costume Company, are only the threadbare tatters of what was once a huge costume district. Pierre's has been at its 11th Street location since 1939. Before that it was called Miller's Costume Shop. The current proprietor of Pierre's. John Weinstien. bought the shop in February, but had been working for the former owners for several years. He explained that 30 years ago five costume shops thrived on the block. Several of them then went out of business, and a couple moved to New York City, leaving just the curTent pair. Although not sure why many of these costume stores went the way of the dinosaur, the management of Pierre's said, "They couldn't compete with us." "Having the two shops close by is actually good for business because it creates a certain costume excitment in the area." Weinstein said. "The two stores don't sell to the same market, although there is some overlapping." Pierre's sells mostly to amateur production companies, including several campus groups, and to many advertising agencies for commercial promotions. The Philadelphia Costume Company, which has been located across the street since 1950, used to be situated around the corner. Alfred Siciliano, its owner, agreed that the proximity of the two shops increases business for both stores, rather than encouraging cut-throat competion. Siciliano's market consists of mostly "built" items, a costume biz-buzz word meaning custom made. His customers include the road company shows of major Broadway productions. "Many celebrities have been to my shop for fittings," Siciliano says. "We fitted Anthony Quinn for Zorba The Greek and have done^costumes for |oe Namath, and Luciano Pavarotti." He has also outfittted Broadway shows, not as the prime contractor, but as a subcontractor. The celebrities, says Siciliano, are really nice people, and are no different when getting fitted for a costume then regular folk. They put their costumes on one leg at a a time. The Philadelphia Costume Company also does supplies the plumage for many Mummers clubs participating in Philadelphia's New Years Day parade. Since each club spends between $10,000 and $40,000 a year on costumes, this is a big order, Siciliano said. Although these costumes are only worn for a single parade, the Mummers use them during the year for other activities. A group in Princeton, N.J.. placed the strangest order that the company has filled - for a number of "pimp and whore" costumes. This seems to belie the common notion that Princeton is a boring place. Philadelphians are supposed to be preoccupied with the past. Weinstien and Siciliano's customers are no exception and take this flaw to evolutionary extremes. The best selling items at both Pierre's and the Philadelphia Costume Company's are gorrilla suits. M J4TH STBEE1 APR. 5. 1984 / 3 By Jimmy Guterman 4/ 14TH STREET APR. 5, 1984 In the beginning, there was Freud. And Freud made great strides, but, lo, He was lonely. Even with all His achievements, all over the land, there was but one faithful one with the insight to acknowledge the greatness of The Master's works. So He took this one unto himself as a friend and named him Fleiss. And together they discussed The Master's Works. And Freud spaketh unto Fleiss, "There is a matter I must share with thee and make our union whole." And Freud took a woman, Emma Eckstein, and sent her unto Fleiss. He spaketh unto Fleiss, "Hark, take thee this woman and expel the evil spirits that have darkened her soul. Take thee this woman and save her from these demons and together, we shall spread our great wisdom and share our everlasting love until the rivers run dry." But there was a problem. ■ It would probably be an exaggeration to say that Sigmund Freud had no friends in 1896, but it wouldn't be entirely untrue either. It is April 21, 1896. Freud stands in front of The Vienna Society for Psychiatry and Neurology and reads a paper entitled. "The Aetiology of Hysteria." It is not one of his finest hours. That evening, Sigmund Freud argues to a brick wall of his Victorian colleagues that the cause of neuroses can be directly traced back to early sexual traumas. This is the inveiling of the famous "seduction hypothesis," which Freud later repudiated. A deafening silence greets the paper; the Viennese medical journals will not even acknowledge that the paper was delivered. In short, "The Aetiology of Hysteria" results in Freud's excommunication from the psychiatric community. Eighty years later, a young, flamboyant analyst-in-training named Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson starts making a name for himself in analytic circles. He makes a remarkable impression on Kurt Eissler. director of the Freud Archives, and also receives the good graces of The Daughter of the Master. The High Priestess of Psychoanalysis, Anna Freud herself. He leaps up the political ladder of the psychoanalytic community and soon finds himself in the enviable position of heir apparent at the Archives. In an uncharacteristic display of respect and trust, Anna Freud takes Masson to her father's office and opens Freud's desk, which has been sealed for half a century. The eager scholar is given the run of the house. Like a recjdess boy scout on his first expedition, Masson immerses himself in all things Freud. Eissler and Anna Freud look on like the symbolic proud parents they are. Psychoanalysis has a bright future. But this idyllic situation isn't permanent. The ' diligent Masson has found papers that don't follow the standard Freudian line and, even worse, he's talking about it to The New York Times. Eissler and Anna Freud are not amused. It seems Masson has stumbled on a number of letters from Freud to his friend Willhelm Fleiss that Anna Freud decided not to include in the collection of her father's letters she Facing page: author leffrey Masson published in 1950. These letters from Freud to Willhelm Fleiss are among the most important documents of early psychoanalysis. From 1894 to 1900, Fleiss was the only medical professional among Freud's contemporaries openly sympathetic to Freud's unorthodox views on mental disorders. Anna Freud titled this collection of her father's letters The Origins of Psychoanalysis with good reason. It was during the time of Freud's correspondence with Fleiss that Freud abandoned the seduction hypothesis. The standard Freudian line is that the abandoment of the seduction hypothesis coincided with Freud's realization that these early childhood sexual traumas that caused so much pain in his clients were, in fact, fantasies. This revelation, the discovery of the unconscious, is generally considered Freud's triumph of triumphs. Psychoanalysis is very much a study of an individual's unconscious - this discovery of it signaled the birth of psychoanalysis as we know it. It is the origin of psychoanalysis. Freud's letters to Fleiss chronicle much of this historic achievement. Or do they? Reading the hitherto unpublished letters, Masson came across what he felt was disturbing and compelling evidence that Freud's change of heart was not the brilliant intellectual leap the Freudians claim it was. "With the greatest reluctance," Masson writes in the introduction to The Assault on Truth: Freud's Suppression of the Seduction Theory, "I gradually came to see Freud's abandonment of the seduction hypothesis as a failure of courage." The insight is a cop-out. Soon, Masson is fired from the Archives and declared an unperson - just as Freud had been 85 years earlier. The assault on Masson begins. But what could Masson possibly have found that would result in his excommunication? While he was exchanging letters with Freud. Fleiss was at work on a book entitled. On the Causal Connection Between the Nose and the Sexual Organ, which claims: "Women who masturbate . . . can only be finally cured through an operation on the nose if they truly give up this bad problem." To put it kindly, the one professional who was privy to Freud's work in the latter's most crucial years was a quack. The concept of sexual neuroses being cured by an operation on the nose defies most definitions of logic. It is surprising that Freud was genuinely attracted to someone so clearly his inferior. "Freud didn't have any choice but to get involved with Fleiss." Jeffrey Masson says in his hotel room in Washington. D.C.. his latest stop in a tour promoting his book. "He didn't have any choice. Nobody was paying any attention to him. There were certainly better brains, but they were not taking Freud seriously. In that one area, Fleiss had more insight than the rest in responding warmly to some of Freud's ideas. It was a genuine friendship - they really liked each other profoundly." Continued on next page 34TH STREET APR. 5, 1984 Continued from last page In an unpublished letter, dated Nov. 19, 1953, from Anna Freud to Ernest |ones. a major political figure in the psychoanalytic: community, Anna Freud writes: "Emma Eckstein was an early patient of my father's and there are many letters concerning her in the Fleiss correspondence which we left out |of The Origins of Psychoanalysis], since the story would have been incomplete and rather bewildering to the reader. I remember her vaguely." These are the letters Masson is fired over. It is late 1894 and Freud is having problems with Eckstein, who is exhibiting classical "hysterical" symptoms. That Christmas. Fleiss travels to Vienna to visit Freud and they discuss Eckstein's case. Fleiss is convinced that Eckstein should be the first woman to undergo his nasal surgery. Feeling his own therapeutic activity incomplete, Freud hands Eckstein over to Fleiss for the operation. Their joint work on Eckstein would permanently seal their scientific bond for the world to see. With this success, Freud and Fleiss could re-enter the psychiatric mainstream. The operation, Fleiss assures Freud, will be simple and straightforward. In February 1895. Eckstein goes under the knife. She is permanently disfigured. On March 8. 1895, with Eckstein again safely (?) under Freud's care. The Master writes to Fliess. This hitherto-suppressed letter describes, in graphically horrifying terms, Eckstein's violent reaction to Fleiss' surgery. It seems that Fleiss, the master surgeon, has left a piece of gauze more than half a meter long in Eckstein's nose. It nearly kills her when it emerges two weeks after the operation. The letter makes it clear that Freud is deeply shaken as the blood pours from her nose like a geyser. Freud's friend has committed a flagrant act of malpractice and he has to decide how to react to it. Masson's theory is that Freud responded by means of an unconscious deception which eventually resulted in his abandonment of the seduction hypothesis. Eckstein's illness was a result of fantasies. Freud would claim. He later labels Eckstein's pain "hysterical bleeding." and informs Fleiss. "Of course, no one is blaming you. nor would I know why anyone should." The foundation of modern psychoanalysis, the abandonment of the seduction hypothesis, is based on a lie. a cover-up. Masson is wary of using a pseudo-Freudian term — unconscious self-deception — to describe Freud's own faults. "I'd rather not." Masson says. "But it is an unconscious deception. It was the only way Freud could protect his friendship with Fleiss and. even more importantly, it was the only way he could remain part of the medical community, which he wanted very badly." "If he'd persisted in his view that the seductions were real, that the society around him had to be radically changed in a fundamental way, he would have been totally and permanently ostracized." ■ The reaction The Assault on Truth has received in the psychoanalytic community is similar to that one imagines a book advocating child abuse or thermonuclear war would evoke. In Dec 1983. the first of a two-part series by noted psychoanalyst |anet Malcolm on the controversy within the Archives appeared in The New Yorker. The series, "Annals of Scholarship," is a book-length defamation of Masson's charac ter. Malcolm's Masson is clearly on till! wrong side of the psychotherapeutic: relationship: he is a megalomaniac and a child in 6/ 34TH STREET APR. 5. 1984 terms of his emotional development - and there are those who claim that Malcolm uses kid gloves. "People are willing to dismiss a book based on a magazine article that someone wrote about the author," Masson says. Such publications as The New York Times Book Review have concentrated on reviewing Masson the man as opposed to his words. "The New Yorker piece is an atrocious document. I regard it as the betrayal of a friendship." After a careful reading of both Malcolm's article and Masson's protestations, two facts are clear: it is impossible for Malcolm's description of Masson to be completely true; it is equally impossible for Masson's description of Malcolm's description of Masson to be completely true. Malcolm's Masson is a raving showman dancing on Freud's grave, more carnival huckster than serious researcher. No doubt Masson is a serious researcher - it is doubtful that any of this controversy would have taken place if the man wasn't a competent researcher - there is is some I'.T. Barnum in Masson. "Psychoanalysis stands or falls with me now!" Malcolm quotes him as saying. It is highly unlikely that Masson said that (lie denies the statement); it is equally unlikely that Malcolm made the whole thing up. In The Village Voice, an advertisement announcing a book signing for The Assault on Truth centers a photograph of Masson under the ominous boldfaced question, Was Freud a Fraud? "The advertisements are very unfortunate." Masson says. "I've never approved those and I've never called Freud a fraud." "I never called Freud a fraud. I feel he suffered a failure of courage and I stick by that. But to move from thai to calling him a cynical liar is not true." "All my critics have asked. 'Why did you call Freud a fraud?' When I ask them to show me where I said that, they're nonplussed. I have never said it anywhere." ■ Masson's sins may not be intentional: his critics' are drenched in animosity. "You'd think all analysts would be fascinated by this." Masson says. "Forget me - there are a minimum of three thousand new words by Freud in this book. You'd think an analyst would give his eye teeth for five new lines. But it's not what they want to hear, so they ignore it." "Let me tell you a story:" "I had a book signing in New York and there were a number of analysts in the audience. It turned into a confrontation and one analyst got up and said. 'Why do you hate Freud so much?" "I didn't know how to respond to that because I don't feel I hate Freud at all. It's also a childish question. But he persisted and finally made the point that I was not well-analyzed remember, this is somebody I never met before in my life - and moreover, that my book was an act of resistance. I said, 'I suppose you're familar with my argument.' " "And then he said. 'As a matter of fact, I haven't read the book.' " "Analysts are willing to go so far as to say that the very act of writing a book of this kind is the work of someone who is not wellanalyzed and it is an act of resistance and they literally have not even looked tit the hook. Many analysts are saying publicly. 'We have not and will not read this book." It's become almost a badge of intellectual courage for analysts to say they haven't even looked at the book." Erica Goode interviewed many psychoanalysts in Masson's adopted native BayArea for her series on Masson in Februarv in The San Francisco Chronicle. She reports: "Psychoanalysts interviewed by The Chronicle - most of them acquainted with Masson — said that in their opinion, the silence of the analytic community has little to do with conspiracy or with fear about the potency of what he has found. Instead, they attribute the lack of response to what are primarily personal, and disappointingly mundane reasons — having more to do with human relations than with intellectual discourse." It would be impossible for the psychoanalytic community to respond to Masson without his character becoming an issue. Masson's own argument is that Freud's deficiencies as a human being result in his relative failure as a theoretician. Dr. Robert Wallerstein, chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California at San Francisco, is one among many prominent psychoanalysts who befriended Masson and feel as betrayed by Masson as Masson feels betrayed by Janet Malcolm. Even though Masson's words to Malcolm concerning, for example, his general inability to maintain long-term relationships (Malcolm presents it as boasting about the number of women with whom he has slept.), were meant to be private - Masson does not contest them. Masson has his faults; unfortunately, it is Masson's shortcomings as a person as opposed to any failings in his research that are usually addressed. But there are problems in the text. The greatest strength of The Assault on Truth is the new information on Freud that Masson presents. The Eckstein case is hopefully an anomaly; nothing else we know of Freud indicates that he was capable of condoning such a repulsive act of malpractice as Fleiss' near-murder of Eckstein. But this does not downgrade Freud as a theoretician — one hopes this is nothing more than an unusually ugly case of one doctor protecting another. A list of great intellectual figures whose scruples are less than admirable would fill this magazine. While The Assault on Truth does bring out a lair amount of important hitherto unseen material, the Eckstein case is by no means the smoking gun for Freud's abandonment of the seduction hypothesis. Masson is frank about his findings: "My hypthesis is just that - a hypothesis; we cannot prove that the Emma F.ckstein case was decisive in Freud's giving up the seduction hypothesis. There's no proof of that. It's just a speculation." "But on the other hand, it's the most likely candidate we have. We don't have anything better than that." Most damaging to Masson's hypothesis is simple chronology. The bungling of the Eckstein surgery occured in early 1895; Freud does not deliver "The Aetiology of Hysteria" until mid-189G. How can a man of Freud's intellectual honesty go public with a theory 14 months after he repudiated it? "The experience with Emma Eckstein began to turn Freud away from the seduction hypothesis." Masson says. "It wasn't the event that made him give it up - it was his response to the event." "I don't think he'd made a correlation yet between the Eckstein case and the seduction hypothesis. Many of my critics have said that Freud just couldn't accept Fleiss's bungling of the operation. They don't make the connection either. Of course, the connection between the two is only a hypothesis, but I believe the Eckstein case is the causal link." Continued on page 14 34TH STREET APR. 5. 1984 17 KILLER'S By liana Harlow At 21 South 61st Street, on Dec. 1, 1983 at 3.15 a.m., Jerome Cults beat his wife Janet to death with a hammer. He then beat his two children with the same hammer and threw them off the third Poor landing. He proceeded to douse with kerosene, ignite, and throw himself from the landing to his death. The children, 15-month-oId Abedizia and iO-year-old Azallia, survived. Abedizia had gaping head wounds and was listed in extremely critical condition at the Children's Hospital of 34TH STREET APR 5, 1984 Philadelphia. From Cain and Abel, to Oedipus, to Lizzie Borden, history and myth have been saturated with instances of kin killing kin. The Cutts case represents perhaps the most unnatural and unfathomable type of murder - killing one's family and then committing suicide seems to violate the basic instincts of self-preservation and propagation of the species. But according to Arthur Freeman, the director of training in Philadelphia's Center for Cognitive Therapy, man is not an instinctual animal. "Lots of things appear to be built into us," he said. "We say we have a survival instinct but some people choose to commit suicide. Or we say we have a drive for food but people are anorectic. And we talk of mother love but mothers abuse their children. There's an idea that we have instincts, but we've come a long way from acting instinctually." The behavior is still difficult to comprehend. Captain Eugene Dooley of the Philadelphia Police's homocide division believes that these killers operate within a warped system of logic in which the murder a rational and appropriate act. Dooley said that after a logical person commits a murder, he attempts to avoid detection. But when a psychotic commits a crime he does not try to conceal it - and often turns himself in — because to him the murder makes perfect sense. "They are dealing with the same facts as we are, but are operating with different perspectives depending on their history, background, and genetic make-up," he said. "We share the same principle of logic — what's good for you is what you're going to do. They go against the rule. I don't know what |the cause] is, but it's something powerful and inexplicable." Though for many years, Dooley has been exposed to murder every day, he remains confounded. "Is there a logical explanation why you would kill someone?" he queried. MSTINCTS The Cutts family was living in a building that had been declared uninhabitable. The mother was a substitute teacher and it is not known if the father was employed. Dooley deemed it unlikely since Cutts was probably noticeably disturbed. He added that the mother should have recognized that there was a problem and taken steps to avoid the consequences, theorizing that her failure to act indicates that she may have been unbalanced as well. Most deranged killers have a long standing history of mental disturbance. Therapist Freeman said that the notion of temporary insanity is legal — not psychological. While it might seem that a given individual suddenly "flips out", there were probably antecedent events which could have clued an observer in to the killer's intent. He also mentioned that certain organic disorders like temporal lobe epilepsy, cause people to behave aggressively. Freeman added that on the rare occassions when homocidal and suicidal people do "flip out" for apparently no reason, they are experiencing a total loss of contact with reality and see themselves as compelled to carry out the act. Though the Cutts' living conditions were less than desireable, neither Dooley nor Freeman would attribute the father's actions to financial pressure. Both maintained that such an act must be rooted in a disturbed mind. Freeman said that a sane, unemployed man might be too proud to let his family go on welfare, but it would still be inappropriate for him to prefer them dead. Freeman added that some desperate men who are worried about their families going hungry, take out life insurance policies on themselves. After waiting out the two-year suicide clause, they kill themselves so that their families can collect. If a man has decided to commit suicide because he cannot support his family, there is no reason for him to take their lives as well. Freeman said he believes that a person who kills his family and himself is far more disturbed than a person who kills,only himself. It is someone whose reality is so distorted that he can not see any options. He added that many people who commit suicide see it as the only way to cope. Dooley suggested that while we see death as an end, suicidal persons might see it as a release, a beginning. Dooley does not know if depression causes suicide but believes that even if there is a link between the two, an unknown element which induces the pathological behavior must exist. He feels that this trigger makes for a qualitative difference between the depressions of normal and suicidal individuals. "To me it seems that depression is the state of mind of a person who may commit suicide." he said. "While you and I think we'd be depressed if we didn't have clothes to wear or food ' eat, in cases of suicides that have demonstrated depression, I'm convinced that it's not a series of events that leads to depression. It's inexplicable - it might be organic." Freeman said that there is not necessarily a direct link between suicide and depression. "Some people can be depressed for years but are not suicidal. Other people may commit suicide because they hear the voice of God playing through the car radio telling them that in order to cleanse themselves of all guilt, they must kill themselves." Though the homocide department does not keep statistics on the sex, age, race, and socioeconomic backgrounds of people like Jerome Cutts. Dooley suspects that the homocidesuicide phenomenon occurs in all types of people. "There is no pattern and it is impossible to make any general blanket statements. You can't consider any of them as a group. They're each individual cases." On Aug. 31. 1982 witnesses observed Knarvie Walden throwing her Iwo children off the City Avenue bridge into the Schuy/kill River. She then jumped herself. Kavan Moore, 7, and Carl Moore, 6, both died. Walden was rescued, pleaded guilty lo third degree murder and received a sentence of 11 Vi to 23 months in a detention center, and one year of institutionalized psychiatric care followed by out-patient treatment. Walden had attempted suicide be/ore the incident and made three additional attempts in the 17 months after her arrest. Walden, a deafmute victim of wife abuse and abandonment, had been receiving psychiatric treatment since 1972 and had been hospitalized for mental illness many times. Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Senior judge John Geisz, who handed down the sentence, was sympathetic towards her. He said recently that considering her illness, brutal marriage and added handicap of deafness, the thought of "putting her in (jail) with the general public" was repugnant. But since the District Attorney did have a responsibility to seek punishment, she was given a short sentence. In a trial conducted in both English and sign language, Walden told the court that God instructed her to come to him and bring the children with her. This is what she was attempting to do. "Very often people say they [killed) because they were hearing voices." Geisz said. " Some people have been hearing voices for years. They think everyone hears voices. I don't know if they hear their own voices or the voice of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Some say it used to be the voice of Satan and now it's the voice of God. They didn't listen to Satan but would listen to God." Freeman explained that auditory hallucinations can occur when a person is under the influence of a drug like P.C.P., but are usually part of a very serious emotional disturbance. Paranoid schizophrenics, characterized by their detachment from reality, have reported hearing the voices of Martians in their teeth and receiving direct messages from the President. In other disorders, an individual hears voices inside his own head. Or he might see a billboard that says "Go for it" and interpret it as a personal message directing him to "go for it." Depending on the meaning he bestows upon this phrase, the results can be tragic. Philadelphia Medical Examiner Marvin Aronson pointed out that all interpersonal relationships are a mixture of aggression and affection. He added that most homocide victims know their assailants. Still, it is difficult to accept the phenomenon of people killing their families and committing suicide - destroying the people they supposedly care about and are loved by the most. Aronson said that these cases comprise a miniscule proportion of homocides but seem more prevalent than they are because they receive an inordinate amount of media coverage. Still, Geisz reported that roughly 25 cases of parents killing their children occur annually in Philadelphia. What can be done to keep such incidents from recurring? Not much, at the moment. As Dooley observed. "Murder is hard to predict and as such almost impossible to prevent." ■ 34TH STREET APR. 5. 1984 77 St rcc Film Bungle in the jungle 'Greystoke' swings and misses Greystoke: The legend of Tar/an, Lord of the Apes Directed by Hugh Hudson At the Midtown By Randy Fairbanks The haunting concept of a "jungle boy" and its strange - implications have given Edgar Rice Burroughs^ Tarzan stories enduring appeal. So why have filmmakers repeatedly interpreted the legend in its blandest terms? From the |ohnny Weissmuller series to the Bo Derek saga, the screen has been filled with comic-book rehashes of musclebound Tarzans heroically protecting cover-girl |anes from the evil men who exploit the jungle. Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan. Lord of the Apes nobly attempts to regain the dignity of Tarzan before he went Hollywood. The film downplays the adventure and emphasizes the most basic and maybe most interesting aspects of the Tarzan legend: the difference between man and animal, and the origin of identity (parentage versus environ- ment). Unfortunately, a noble Concept requires skillful execution, and director Hugh Hudson (Chariots of Fire) simply lacks that talent here. After a brief plot set-up. Greystoke launches into a long jungle sequence sans dialogue relating Tarzan's growth among the apes. The basic concept is gutsy and solid; viewers witness the slow formation of the apeman leader by studying each step of his development. But when dealing with grunting, primitive cultures, filmmakers need to follow strict, logical formats, as in 2001: A Space Oihssey. Quest for Fire and even Caveman. Hudson structures the sequences weakly, making it difficult to determine exactly what's going on. By the time Tarzan becomes King, one is utterly confused, and desperately praying for the utterance of any English syllable. The poor design of the section is complemented by a frustrating lack of inspiration. The fight scenes, for example, are repetitive, confusing, and strangely uninvolving. When Tarzan visits F.ngland. the land of his forefathers. Hud- V^f^DEO^ ^ son seems much more at ease, comfortably showcasing the elegant English and lush estates with cinematography similar to Chariots of Fire. The epic sweep of the jungle scenes clashes uncomfortably against the brooding psychological atmosphere here. Even the romance that develops between Tarzan (Christopher Lambert) and Jane (Andie MacDowell), his grandfather's ward, becomes secondary. Tarzan's psychological progression is interesting but not nearly eventful enough to hold the film; the animal versus man self-conflict never really changes Tarzan, and it is never fully resolved. Without any tangible character growth, the film stagnates hopelessly, losing the forward momentum needed to keep an epic going. Also, parts of the film are unremittingly corny. There are four embarrassingly overdramatized death scenes (three apes, one man), each featuring Tarzan grunting sadly over the body, desperately trying to revive it in animalistic ways. Countless apes hug, laugh and pal around unbelievably, often ^*~ ^*~ / -DANCING /w ACOGKTAILS\/U A^ Lambert models Hollywood's mugging straight into the camera with expressions that would look ridiculously overdone on humans. Set against this cornball flavoring is an odd blend of campy humor that proves very unsettling at times. The bloody massacre of an exploration group by a gang of natives is played for laughs, while the death of an ape is dragged out in teary-eyed detail. The excess in both circumstances is cold and completely unaffecting. Fortunately, the acting rises above Hudson's poor direction, making the film worthwhile. Carrying the quiet dignity of a troubled hero even when apewalking clumsily through an English mansion. Lambert is a handsome, stalwart Tarzan. Even though she has little to do, MacDowell as jane combines just the right amounts of sexiness, independence, and innocence. Wonderful perfor- most famous loincloth mances by Sir Ralph Richardson as Tarzan's grandfather and Ian Holm as the French explorer who befriends the apeman and brings him to England, are priceless displays of character acting. Greystoke is a film at odds with itself. It has some wonderful moments (a particularly masterful dinner sequence in which Tarzan eats and drinks with animalistic fervor, while a host of pompous onlookers lose their appetite), and many effective performances. It also presents some poor direction and lacks a central style, rambling between adventure saga, psychological drama, and epic romance. But because it attempts to reach beyond the scope of its predecessors. Greystoke can be considered a step in the right direction. Adventure and intelligence on film don't have to be mutually exclusive. ■ CONTINENTAL * MEDITERRANEAN CUISINE NIGHTLY DANCING * SHOWS ^Mer^bershi^are n^ avojjgble.

Handbook. The MBA. Handbook, and How to College are all spinoffs of Lisa Birnbach's bestselling guide for preppies. Now, two years after box-office smash Raiders of the Lost Ark comes Romancing the Stone. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, Romancing the Stone falls short of being a comic 1980s version of Raiders. What the film lacks in plot it attempts to compensate for with sight gags, and it is generally unsuccessful. This far-fetched adventure centers around Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner), a somewhat dowdy romance novelist who lives with her cat in a Manhattan apartment, longing for the perfect non-quiche-eating male, loan receives a map from her recently murdered brother-inlaw, then a frantic call from her sister. To spare her sister's life, Joan must take the map to kidnappers in Colombia. Then the adventure begins. Scatter-brained )oan boards the wrong bus, gets lost in the iungle, and meets up with Jack Colton (Michael Douglas), the typical fugitive-from-justice who dreams big. Together |oan and |ack battle poisonous snakes, drug runners, and other predictable elements on their way to the treasure and the sister. The humor is inconsistent throughout the film. While some of the gags produce chuckles, much of the film isn't played for laughs. For example, it is tense when the villain loses his hand to a hungry alligator. Though the scene is meant to be taken seriously, it's hard to sur- press laughter when the obviously plastic reptile surfaces. Douglas, who also produced the film, cast himself for the lead role of tough-guy Colton. Too unsanitary and less charismatic than an Indiana (ones, Douglas merely squints and flexes through the role. He delivers his most venomous line, a classic similar to Clint Eastwood's "Make my day" in Sudden Impact, half-heartedly. Despite his clenched teeth and scowl, it is a letdown when Colton finally spits out. "Choke on it!" Springing back from her taxing role in The Man with Two Brains (sucking fingers for 90 minutes must be exhausting). Turner emerges as the film's only likable character. She undergoes a convincing transition from sheltered to selfsufficient as )oan. and replaces her steaminess from Body Heat with charm and poise. Romancing the Stone is Michael Douglas's first venture into comedy or adventure. Even so, it's still disappointing that the movie seems to be a ripoff rather than a tribute to Raiders. Watching Romancing the Stone is like hearing a joke for the third or fourth time: nothing is surprising, it's been done before.

This was an appropriately named album with two sides that stood in stark contrast to each other. The "Night" side was old hat in many regards. Songs like "T.V. Age" and "Target" confronted Jackson's social paranoia in a tired, self-defeating way. without offering any answers. But on the second, or "Day" side, |oe was "Steppin' Out" of the "Night" into the dawn of a new period. For the first time, he was singing about two people who took the chance of steppin' out into the city, into a hap- pier world, into. . .well, you get the picture. "Steppin' Out" led into the "Day" side, which was a breakthrough for Jackson. Finally he was exploring his inner-most hang-ups, offering options and answers instead of self-defeating sarcasm and cynicism. "Breaking Us in Two," "Real Men" and "A Slow Song" were personal, optimistic and beautiful. With Body "n «fc SCARFACE ANGEL Al's pimping for teenagers.
