Unions are good lor America, 11 help Iha■ out
By Be11jc1111i11 J. Har/st
Recently the news has hccn lilied with
strikes. nnd thrcuts of slrikcs .. strikes nar ..
rowly nvcncd. and strikes ending. Teachers
in S:1ndy. Oregon. UAW members :n a fac­
tory that supplies uxlcs for GM vehicles,
Amcric:m Airlines pilots. the workers at both
the Detroit News and Free Press. What this
nurry of union activity should he doing is
reminding America that at one tlmc, unions
were one. or the most influential forces in
American indusrry. 111at at one lime. work­
ers united could bring a big company to a
halt. What it is doing instead is reminding
us 1ha1 unions have lost a big portion of iheir
fonncr power. This is due in part 10 shrink•
ing union memberships. but also due to a
lack of cohesion among unions and a lack
of support among the general public.
There wus a time when people
wouldn't cross picket lines, either 10 work
or to pturoniic those businesses being
picketed. Does anyone remember when
the employees at Fred Meyer went on
strike a couple of years back'! How many
of you crossed the line and shopped in•
side'' When you bought beer there, you
helped to keep those workers walking
back and forth in the cold. You could have
done your shopping at Safeway or Barbur
Foods. If you did shop elsewhere, I'm
sure the employees appreciated it. If no1.
then you arc part of the reason that labor
is losing its effectiveness. Bui you aren't the only reason thal
labor's lighl is dimming; government is do~
ing more than its fair share. At one point I
would have taken a partisan view on which
party was the friend of labor. After all, Re­
publican godhead Romlld Reagan did fire
all of the nation ·s air tr.lflic controllers af­
ter they threatened to go on strike. George
Bush wouldn't sign 1he Family Medical
Le.we Act.
Enter Bill Clinton who has labor to
thank for a second tenn. Remember all of
those ads blasting the Republicans starting
Just after 1he 1994 elections'/ Well those
helped old Bill climb out of a big slump in
his approval ratings. Bui as soon as the
American Airlines pilots were about to strike
]us1 before Presidents Day Weekend, Bill
suddenly forgot who his friends were and
stopped the strike. We should be outraged­
union member or not, we all benefit from
the advances fought for and won by 1he la­
bor movement.
Maybe you've never worked in a place
where those benefits were in place. After
sanding furniture last summer for six or
seven days a week, eight 10 ten hours a day,
I am ecsrn1ic that I was making more money
for that Saturday and occasional Sunday of
work. I was really happy when I got my
breaks, and when I saw that precautions
were being taken to rnake sure Lhat no one
was hurt on the job, and that if they were
hurt. restitution would be provided to 1hem. You receive the benefits oflabor in 1he
fact that products are made with greater care
and that workers cam a bigger portion of
the proceeds from their work and then spend
this money in this country. You also get the
peace of mind knowing that workers have a
voice in this country.
We should all work to support unions
and attempts at unionization. Ask the work­
ers at the places where you shop if 1hcy are
happy in their jobs, and if they aren't, ask them if lhcy belong to a union or if they'll
tried 10 start one. Ir they have tried 10 b,I
have been stopped by the managemcnL
leave the store. If there is a picket line, doo)
cross ii (at least ask why the workers"'
striking before deciding 10 cross). Unioos
need our support becau.,c unions help"'~
port a 101 of this country. Stronger uniOCI
mean a stronger American workforce 11rv.i1
stronger America, and thal's good for.-.,

the lcs.ser•known bands whose music we
reoei\'e, we play the music we are given.
While we do occa.,ionally receive an album
1tlcascd by what someone would call a
'pop" artist, these albums arc found in our
i,ailbox very infrequently. The record com­
p,oies do no1 send college radio s1acions pop
because for lhc mosc part they do not need
1110 help markel 1heir already-popular
lwlds. MTV, NRK, & Z 100 already provide
110re than enough of that type of marketing
!,ere in Portland. Bands such as Tricky, Cat
ll>wer, & Atari Teenage Riot do not have
CIC same type of name recognition as the
bands that appear on the above mentioned
TV/rodiostations. While you longer be anywhere on the dial 10 hear truly
••new" or "different" music. If one wantc; to
hear pop. country, mp, easy listening, or any
otltcr type of music there are numerous sta•
lions in Portland they can tune in to. Col­
lege radio as an inslitution is not supposed
10 play music that can already be heard on
other radio s1a1ions; college radio, again by
its nmure, is supposed to play "new" &
"eclectic" types of music.
While KLC is a college radio station ..
even we don't stick to the above outline of
what a college radio station is supposed 10
and isn't supposed 10 play. Our Music Di­
rcc1ors a.sk our DJs 10 play a few songs '1n
hour off of our lis1 of 200 CDs they have
dc1errnined 10 be college radio music, how­
ever the DJs are not bound to do so, If you
look at our schedule (posted in KLC, and
printed both in KLaCk & the Pio log) you
will see thal we have a wide variety of mu­
sic represented by various DJs. From hip­
hop to ska. '80s hits to ambient, there really
isn't much you will not hear on KLC. How­
ever a.s our schedule shows. there are still
free hours available as well as some musi•
cal tastes not rep­
resented. KLC is moy have already heard of
tesc bands. they are not too
•rll known outside of college
r¥1io. However if we arc do­
•& our job correctly. by the
lime they release a new nl­
wm, everyone who listens to
pop music will know who
'~,se bands are; hopefully
i11cy will be just as well
..,wn as any of those played
1>1MTV. "College and other
noncommercial radio
stations are the only
place on the dial where
one can hear what the
DJs really consider more tltan happy to
give a show 10 any­
one who is willing
to help out around
the station, no mat­
ter what type of
music they would
like lO play. I(
someone would
like 10 get a show good music."
Col loge and other non-
canmercial radio stations are the only pince
111 lhc dial where one can hear whnt the DJs
1!3lly consider good music. While a DJ at
~'RK might actually like the new Nine Inch
Ntils single, they arc not playing it for that
lllSOn, ralher they play it because the Pro­
p,mming Manager dictates that it will be
;bycd because people supposedly want to
br it. College mdio sc:nions arc by their
allJrt supported by college money. ff col­
kit rJdio had to bow down 10 the wishes
{what the maj<>rity of the students/faculty/
my residents wanted to hear, as Rich
•igests we should do. there would no and play country or
even Rick Dees·
Top 40, we would be more 1hnn happy to
accommodate. When we do our shows we
play whatever we want to. When Rich Pizur
had a show for his 2 1/2 years as a DJ he
played whatever he wnn1cd 10. The rule here
at KLC is: our DJs can play whatever they
want to, and if you don't like it we don't tell
you to "go fuck yourseir· as Rich says we
do. we tell you that you too cun get a show
and play whatever you want to.
Rich seems to suggest that KLC should
find out what the LC community wants to
hear on the radio. and thus play that. It is an
easy argument to make: KLC does not play

Dear Ediu>r.
I would like to comment on the letter lO the editor that Rich Pizor sent in-mainly the
points that he made about KLC. First of all let me say that KLC is not a "tight fraternity,"
When I joined KLC al the beginning of last year it didn't mauer lhat I only knew one
person at the station. Everyone that I came in contact with was extremely friendly and
helpful in teaching me the ropes and
helping me 10 get sculed in, I am al-
ways confused when people bitch
about the "snobbery" or cliquishness
of KLC because I have never seen any
of that.
I was also surprised LO read that
KLC won ·1 "admit" you (as if we' re
a country club or something ... ) if
"your view of mu.sic is anymore main-"I am always confused when
people bitch about the 'snobbery'
or cliquishness of KLC because 1
have never seen any of that."
stream than an avid fandom of the Obscure Zombies from Planet Zircon ... " because Che
music that is played on my show isn't obscure. I'm also not a "die-hard" devotee of rap. I
play what I like-no more and no less. That's what every DJ here at KLC docs. I'm not as
interested in scribbling graffiti or screaming "FUCK THE SYSTEM" as I am in getting to
the station on time to do my show and have a good time with it. I also think what people
fail 10 reuli1,e is that the graffiti and the auitudc displayed around KLC has nothing 11, do
with what is on the air. If people don·1 like the programs that are broadcast on KLC tltcn
instead of whining about it they can do something about ii. I can think of two options: get
a show und change 1hc progrrunming. or don't listen. It's as simple :is thal.

Shine A A ** Absolute Power **
by Coli11 R;o110
The man thlll WC SC¢ al 1he beginning or
1hc lilm Shi11c, wandering 1hrough the s1ree1s,
appears 10 be n disheveled, diltkly comical
.s.hcU of u man, constandy spouting nonsensi•
cal Lcnr-like sang-song semcnces. H,s words
break in10 hys1crically nervous laugh1er ai 1he
end nf nearly every sentence. The woman
who linds him sums it up pcrfcc1ly by saying
he looks "lost." By the lirsi few minu1es of
1ho film, !he collec1lve mind of 1hc audience
is spinning wildly but 001 unpleasan1ly; I had
heen cap1ivmed by iis s1r:ic1. hnrd-edgcd emo­
tional intensity. 11 is rare for a movie to be so
succcs.~ful at enveloping the audience in the
emo1ion of ils characlers, and really allow­
ing the mind c,f its main character.
S/ai11e is the true slory of David Helf gon.
a concert pianist. whose genius 1nanifc.sted
i1sclf early. Spurned on by his Holocaus1 sur­
vivor father, David gains recognition through
competition. and he g~tins a reputation as one
of 1he most promising brilliant young musicians.
But 1herc is consianl shadow darkening 1he life of1his
child prodigy: David's fo1hcr, Pe1er, (played to perfection
by Armin Mucllcr-S1ahl) abuses his son bo1h menially and
physically. He loves David 10 the poin1 of suffocation, de­
manding thal he always win in life, and insisling 1ha1 David
remain a1 home (despi1e the scholarship opponuni1ies).
Mueller-Stahl delivers a moving performance, show­
ing the oharac1er as monslfOus, yet ridden wi1h connict.
Through the pcrfom1ance, we sec an individual who wit­
nessed the murder of his family. now scared that his (favor­
ite) child will cause his family to be corrup1cd as well. He
instills guilt in his children, making David repeat 10 him
1he dis1urbing mantra, "I am lucky," over and over again.
Ullimately, David rebels agains1 his 1yrannical father,
and leaves home for the Royal College of Music but with
his fa1her's scream. "You will deslroy 1his family!" ringing
in his ears.
Al college, David remains estranged from his father
and as his talent reaches a crescendo, he begins 10 descend
• slowly towards insani1y. A performance of Rachmaninoff
Piano Concerlo No. 3 pushes him over the edge. The next
lime we see David, he is several years older and inslitu•
tionalized. undergoing shock trea1mcnt. His genius is re­
pressed but 001 absen1; his spirit is damaged bu1 001 re­
signed. In his la1cr life, !he piano has becomes like a drug
to David, and his co-dependence to 1he instrument confuses
those around him.
Three excellcnl actors play David al differcnl s1ages
of his life: Alex Rafalowicz plays 1hc child David, Noah
Taylor as the adolesccnl David, and finally, Geoffrey Rush
as 1he aduh David. These actors arc able to reflect each
other. One can sec 1hc younger incama1ions rcOcc1cd in
Rush and vice versa. All 1he pcrfonnances in this film are
wonhy of praise.
The direction by Scou Hicks (who also co-wrote the
film) is unbelievably brillian1. During the turning point of
David's life. 1he Rachmaninoff pcrfomiance, 1he camera
pho1ographs David's creative frenzy from every possible
angle. Hicks is able 10 li1erally show the enormous emo-
1ion rushing in10 David from lhc piece, making ii nearly
tangible. We are able 10 see thal emotion tearing up his
insides, in a momenl of horrific glory. The transitions be•
1ween David's differenl ages are deal! wilh seamlessly.
Rush. Taylor and Rafalowicz arc fi1 so well together as the
same charac1cr. you almos1 wish that they could be on 1hc
screen togc1her.
The foci 1ha1 1his is based on a true s1ory of a brillian1
individual who rose. fell, and 1hen was ohlc, wi1h help, to
hring himself back from insani1y and despondency. One of
1hc n10s1 powerful momenls in the mm is when David wan­
ders into n restaurant where he is already known as a dis•
1urhing curiosi1y of sorts. and dcspi1e mocking, proceeds
si1 down al 1hc pianc,, nnd leis his 1nlent defend him. ploy­
ing "Flighl of 1he Bumblebee," awing 1he patrons and re­
gaining some of his renown. ·111c. look of pure conccn•
lratcd affcc1ion we sec here is heanwarming um.I powcrrul.
TI,crc are many moments throughout the film that make
one simply wanl 10 cry wi1h joy, Here, we see 1his deeply
1roublcd. yc1 brillian1 and loving man li1crally "shine," by Joe Grossman
Roger Eben calls ii a "tigh1. 1au11hrillcr.'' The San Fra11•
cisc<> Chro11icle raves, ,;Slick, dark." Don '1 believe !he hype.
Abso/111< Power is a prime example of the mos1 frustrating
kind of film there is: a mediocre movie wi1h a 101 of was1ed
potential.
Clin1 Eas1wood (who also directed) plays Lu1her
Whi1ney, a life-long burglar, and one of the bes1 1hcre is. At
65, he's made quite a niche for himself. He can afford 10
hang ou1 a1 museums and bars all day by robbing the occa­
sional mansion al night. One nigh1, he raids the home of
Waller Sullivan (E.G. Marshall). a wealthy old sociali1e who
helped win the Whi"'HollSc for Presidenl Alan Richmond
(Gene Hackman).
While Lu1her is plundering Sullivan's booty, he hears
people approaching. Fonunately. Lulhcr is well-hidden in
a secret passage with a 1wo-way mirror.
From his coven position, Luther spies Sullivan's young
trophy wife romping playfully wi1h the Pre_~iden1 himself.
Whal s1ans off as good-na1urcd adultery soon turns vio­
lent, and wh'e~ the woman is about 10 anack the Presiden1
in self.defense, the Secret Se.rvice intervenes and shoots
her dead.
Luther then watches the Secre1 Service agcnlS and the
Chief of Slaff (Judy Davis) clean up the scene and devise a
phony story 10 explain 1he dea1h. Of course they acciden-
1ally drop a key piece of evidence wilh Richmond's blood
on i1, and Luther absconds wi1h ii. The President's people
lind out abou1 him and try 10 frame him for the job.
Lu1her spends !he rest of the film trying 10 avoid the
S.:crct Service, lhrow 1he police off the 1rail, expose Rich­
mond for the sleazy fraud he is, and win back the love of
his es1rnnged daugh1er.
For n movie with so much going on, it's surprising how
linle ac1ually happens. The tirsi lhiny minutes or so arc
domina1ed by the sex/murder scene. Eas1wood proves his
talent in his direc1ion of 1his creepy, nearly wordless se­
quence. But the film is lilied wi1h too many scenes 1hat
build slowly (and I mean slowly) only to spuuerout with a
pat denouement.
The ending is 1he wors1 spuner of all. The audience is
trea1ed to a preuy good ride for a while, and about two-
1hirds of the way through, I was eagerly an1icipa1ing Luther's inevitable vindication. I
could not think of n singlt

could have been so mucli

Americans are more cynict!
about govemmenl and abuse of power lhan ever, this film
promised some good clean ca1harsis. bu1 it only delivm
halfway.
The film's worst shoncoming is 1h01 the despicabk
Pres idem Richmond never has 10 defend his ac1ions orc1'<1
acknowledge them. The audience wants to see him squirm
and suffer. bu1 he's a smiling slicks1er s1raigh1 10 the el!d.
S1ill, Hackman docs a grea1job. given what he has 10 work
wi1h. He is convincingly menacing as the Machiavcllia,
villain who sweals evil and corruption from every pore.A
liule nat, bu1 good. Judy Davis also brings a lot of life u!
color 10 a preny shallow character, and has some of l1!t
best lines in the film, H"I facial expressions of d.isgusi alonr
are worth one star in this re.view.
Clin1 Eastwood is relentlessly affable as the lifolOllg
felon with 1he hean of gold. h's a 101 likc his other rolesin
recenl years, but it works. We know Lulher is a nice guy.
How do we know'/ Well he has a daughter who rescnlS bis
absence during her childhood, he apprecia1cs line an, and
he docsn 't know how 10 operale !hose damed VCRs (h<y,
who does?). I ac1ually like it when a charncler is fleshed
ou1. and damn it if Luther is11 't channing. But sonw1ima
he seems 100 engineered 10 be likable, a cross bc1wcen Robio
Hood, Diny Harry, and a lovable canoon bunny.
Ed Harris has the mos1 likable character in the fi1111,
with his diligent, hones I cop. He is the only admirablcchir­
aeter in !he film. and he displays some touching vul"'•
ability when he discloses (over and over again) hissolilil)
life-s1yle.
Actually, Absollllt Power presen1s a strange, sad linlt
world where nearly everyone is a loner, looking 10 conoed
with someone. Luther's only family is 1he daugh1er who
won't talk 10 him, and who doesn't have any family CJ
friends to speak of ei1her. She awkwardly flirts with Ot1ec-
1ive Frank, who keeps telling her he lives alone. Judy DaYil'i
character flins with the Presiden1, of all people, but lhot'I
okay, because there's never any mention of a lirs1 lady8ll)'•
way. We-even find oul the old man took such a young bridt
simply because he didn '1wan110 be a lonely widoweragain
These people don't belong in a conspiracy drama, d,cy
belong on Love Co1111ec1ion. Nol tha1 ii mailers much. By
!he end of !he film. no one, not even the audience, hn.s much
reason 10 care about any of I hem.

.. ays ajoy for meto play music: il'snlways
I joy for me 10 travel to different places play­
ing music. so we're. having n g<>od time.
EB: How long will the tour continue?
JR: Until the middle of March, Then l
•·ill have Ihe rnos1 time off which I' vc lrnd
dnce l turned professional and I have about
illrec an<l a half months off, then we· II go
b.lck out on tour in the su,nmertimc.
SF: Whai is the role or leadership in
jatt?
JR: The role of leadership in jaz,~ that"s
•good queslion, I think every leader has his
or her own idea of what a leader should or
lhooldn'l do. My idea ofleadership is to be
as undictatorial as possible. My goal as a
leader is to try 10 make Ihe band as much of
, democratic organization as I can. Now
obviously as the leader I am responsible for
getting the gigs, I am responsible economi­
"IIY for paying the band. I am also rcspon­
Dble for determining what we're going to
play, when we're going to play it. I call the
S<tS, l detennine the order of the Iunes. The
focus, l guess. is on my compositions1 since
rm Ihe leader. Ul1ima1ely it's my group
coooep1 which is the overriding concept. but
ullimalely it's a group concept. that's Ihe
•ilolc idea. When we step out on the band­
"311d, even if I'm lhe leader, I see myself
al I wanI the guys 10 sec me as just an­
olher member of the group trying to con­
lribule as an equal part of a whole that is
ptaIer than the sum of the parts.
lnja1.1, you're improvising all the time,
ind in order 10 improvise you have 10 be
,bk to listen 10 what the other musicians
11tdoing and rind your role within the col­
lcttive whole. l think in order to do that
,,ll.1hcrc has to be a great deal of democ­
"'l' within the band.
SF: Whal do you think about innova­
lion? How do you deal with i1: what do you
make of iI?
JR: Innovation is very important in any
II form. I think innovation is something which should come nalU•
rally. ii shouldn·I come su
much from the analytical
mind. ~ls ii should come
from IhL1: emoIion and ,he
soul. For me, I think if you
stri vc ns a musician or as
any sort of an anist to really
express whm you have in•
s,dc of yourself. to express
it 1hrouth your composi­
tions, through your arrange•
mcnlS, through your perfor­
mances nnd through your
improvisiuiuns. Ir you
sirive to really say whal you
have 10 say as an individual
and as a member or a group,
then you' re naturally going
to say somcIhing original. l
believe Lhal every person on
this planet has somcIhing
original to say. l think the
goal, firsl and foremost
should be honesty or self.
expression and creativiIy of
self-expression. I think
through Ihat goal you will
innovate and so that's my
approach to innovation.
SF: Do you draw inspiration from non­
musical artists·/
JR: Yes, I draw my inspiration from life.
Music is just an expression of self and the
things thal you experience and you feel in
the course of your life. I don't know a lot
about modem an but I love going to mod­
em art museums.
SF: Do you uy to map Ihat art to your
music al all?
JR: Never directly: my music is never
a direct or literal expression of someIhing
that's happened 10 me or something I.hat I've
seen. h's more Iha.t all my experiences as a
human being kind of go into whate.ver the
melting pot of my spiriI is and then from
that spirit comes the music. So it's never
really a direct link or direct correlation, but
everything that I see, everything Ihat l do as
a person I think eventually finds iis way into
my music.
SF: What do you think of John ZQm?
IR: l haven't heard a lot of his music,
so I can·, really commcnl, but what I have
heard is interesting.
SF: You should check him out.
JR: Oh yeah? Okay.
SF: Do you think that computers wiJI
ever play a meaningful role in the jazz mu­
sic scene?
JR: Well, I think they already do in a
certain sense. CompuIers are a 1001 that a

of my success has to do wilh me. I think it

hope that the foundation of my success is

improvisation satisfies a need chat very few

This idea may seem ludicrous at lirst. However, the
brn is not the first item of clothing that has caused physical
problems. Chinese foot binding and corsets arc obvious
examples of restrictive apparel which did more than create
an aurnctive silhoucue.
Singer and Grismaijcr·s theory rests upon the lymphatic
system's role in 1he body. The lymphatic system is a key
part of the immune sys1crn, as explained by S_ingcr and
Grismaijer. Lymphatics remove toxins and wastes from
1he extra cellular space. "It is accepted knowledge 1ha1 many
chemicals arc toxic to our bodies and can cause cancer."

and Grismaijer.
The gist of their hypothesis is that bras constrict the
major lymphatics under the arm and along the side of the
breast. This constriction allows toxins 10 build up in 1he
breast tissue which then increases the possibtlitics for can­
cerous cells to occur and multiply.

These findings and the distribu1ion of breast cancer (ii
is much higher in western. bra-loving societies) suggc.st thal
there is a causal relationship between bras and breast can­
cer. The biochemistry or lymphatic action and cancer also
supports their theory.
'The best way 10 maximize the [lymphatic system] is

LC prol Bob Gold■II PIVIIII tha truth about ,,,. War,
By Mallhias Fripp
Bob Goldman/ Lewis & Clark profes­
sor of sociology and anIhropology. has just
published a new ~k for Ihe popular mar­
kel. 1illcd Sig11 \¼',rs. Goldman coauIhorcd
the book wi1h Stephen Papson. a professor
of sociology a1 S1. Lawrence University.
The litle of the book comes from Ihe
n:ame the authors gave lO a pervasive phe ..
oomenon 1hey've iden1ified in n1odern ad­
\"CJtiSing: fim,s producing func1ionally idcn•
tical products compete for customers on the
basis of cornpe1ing symbols in their advcr­
lisemcnts instead of on lhe basis of (virtu-­
~ly nonexistent) differences in their prod­
ucIs. In social science parlance, a "sign" is
:my symbol used to convey, or signify, a
llCaning. One of the central trends Goldman
discusses in his book is Ihe developmenl of
*sign wars" in ndvcnising culture, in which
companies try to gain customers by creat­
ing signs designed to reduce 1hc impacl of
signs used by Lheir compe1i1ors.
This may seem trivial. You may think
h's simp1y an interesting trend as advertis•
m compete for sales of soda or running
shoes, with no real importance for serious
tcholars, but Goldman has found important
questions about 1hc fulure or society in the
way the "sign wars" arc playing out.
Unlike most critics of advertising,
Goldman looks beyond the effecl of ads on
illdividuals and their buying habits 10 sec
how the discourse of advertising shapes our
10Cie1y ns a whole. "I think 100 often wc
I look ai the effec1 of advertising on the indi­
ndual but not at Ihe larger cultural impact,"
loesays.
In an earlier book. Goldman looked al
lbat assumptions people need 10 make in
order to interpret ads. whm common under•
11nnding people need in order 10 understand
lbc signs used in ads. Since 1hat time.
O\>ldman says. people have themselves with \'icwers. In the l980s, the
trend was to use grainy, black and white
filming, to replace Disncy-s1yle filming wilh
a kind of' roughness ('"warts and all") Lhat
appealed 10 Ihe Generation X crowd. The
images within the frame of Lhe television
screen had ''all sorts or co<le~~ about real­
ism." And then, Goldman says. the adver­
tisers threw in codes that viola1ed the
frnme-1ilting and bouncing Ihc camera.
This wa, the advertisers· way of saying they
knew lhat lhe viewer knew it was an ad. and
1he advertiser wa.sn •1 going to pla.y any

hunny advertisements became popular.
competitors reworked that sign 10 try 10 si­
phon off some of ils appeal. Now the ad's
signs have be.come strong enough on their
own 10 define the company's promotional
campaigns. There was a string of advertise­
ments .st.arting with a luxury car manufac ..
turer touting their model's high quality with
a ball-bearing rolling across the car. Next, a
lower priced competitor said. "Hey. we can
do that, too."' and showed a similar experi­
ment on their car, openly reusing the signs
from their competitor's ad. The series came
to an end when the Roy Rogers restaurant
chain made an ad showing a ball bearing
rolling around the rim of a hamburger. The
Roy Rogers ad appealed 10 viewers because
it spoke to 1heir "ad-consciousness." and it
succeeded at Ihc expense of Lhc signs used
by other advenisers.
Goldman says that these "sign wars"
keep "upping the (lnte on cred.ibilily" for ad­
vertisers, As each ad gets closer 10 custon1-

Goldman says advertis­

come so pervasive and the
formulas of advertising so
pervasive that n.o on.e is

says. The ads get more
self-conscious and
reflexive, and viewers get
more cynical. "One of the things
we feh Is that ad­
vertising has he•

One of the first s1eps Goldman says ad­
rntisers took was to try to scpar::ite them~
~hts from 0Ihcr udvcrtiscrs nnd :1ssociu1c '"Advertising
works even on its
best days by taking one meaning from ~,is
system and one from that and joining them,"
Goldman says. "Whal you're doing is

This is similar 10 what you might do in writ­
ing a poem. bu1 it mkes on a diffcrcnl na-• turc when it happens mechanically al a cul•
1ural level. at an ever-accelerating ra1e.

sive to the feelings of constituencies, but it's
an awareness that's as Oecting as the ads
themselves. The awareness is noi real and
continuous, but momentary. disconnected.
disjointed. n,eculture this crcaies, Goldman
says, becomes useful only "for a future gen­
cracion of advertise.rs to ransack for cool
images lO combine with something else."
Bui these new images will last no longer
than Lheir predecessors, and Goldman wor­
ries that in the end. "culture just becomes a
giant refuse bin from which we can pull
shards-bits and pieces for later on."
Goldman says that working in a
postmodernist intellecLunl climate leis him
look beyond the traditional "serious" texts
and subjects of study. such as opera, great
li1eraiurc or political debates. 10 examine the
effecis of all texts on society as a whole.
"One distinction of the postmodemist think­
ers is thal if it's an importanl text it's wor­
thy of consideration." he says. ··Television.
mQvies, sponing events-all of these be·
come some1hing worthy of s1udying, 30d
with an eye to learning somc.1hing. notjusc
as trivia, which i.s how they've been stud•
icd."
And ii's the effect of ads on the culture
as a whole that Goldman worries :1bouI. Ad·
,•cr1ising could be considered unimportant.
since it's just a collection of symbols, which
people can ignore if they choose. But there
are other sets <>f symbols that people give
plenty of weight 10. "Ideologies arc all
around us. in churches. in schools.''
Goldman says. Just like advertising, religion
and academia can be seen simply as collec­
tions of symbols with no real power of their
own, but priests and profe.,sors generally
believe that they have some impact.
Goldman also looks at the inescapable
volume of persuasive signs in our culture
and see., the potential for enormous impacl.
"A public culture is more than the sum of
each momenI," he says. It's not enough just
to look at each momenl. when in fact 11tc
culture is made up of many pieces. Trying
to ignore or escape the effect of advertising
is like a fish 1rying to ignore the water it
swims 1n. Clinton and Dole aired ads on tele­
vision last year Ihm were only .JO seconds each, an<l you can s;ty thOl you hate certain
ads and ignore 1hem. ·'buI in fact," Goldman
says ... ,his is the whole of ourcxis1cncc ....
For the vast majority of people this is all
lhcy have 10 pick and choose from."
Goldman says people oricn look for
spectacular explanations for society's prob­
lems. when in fact Ihc answers arc mundane.
As an example. he points out that coal min•
crs get black lung disease from working day
after day in a coal mine, not from skipping
church one day. "That's what all science is
about-mucking around in the details." he
says.
Goldman shies away from prcdicling
what will be Lhc ultimate effect or the com­
mercialization and constant refom1ulat.ion
of our culture by comb:uants in the sign
wars. He has some hunches. but says 1he
process is inherently undirected; it's the
unintended consequence of decisions by
individual advenisers. "It's simply the prod­
uce of turning our whole culture into a com­
modity," Goldman says.
Goldman says he ha, seen signs of a
backlash against popular culture among
some students at LC. "Your generation is
looking for things that arc not part of the
commodity culture," he says. He has met
s1udents who feel robbed of culture and
community, who arc creating communities
of their own. savvier versions of the planned
cQmmunil.ics movement of past years.
Goldman started studying popular cul­
ture before almosI anyone else. in 1979.
when he wanted to introduce students to 1he
complexities of social science by way of a
subject they knew well. A second goal was
to show his sludcnlS that "thi.s thing they
saw cv1:ryday was no1 SQ iOOQ!:('nl, ..
Goldman wrote Lhis book as part of his
quest to make the social $cicnccs accessible
to a broad audience. "I wan110 hring hcr,vy
duty theoretical concepts lO the point where
they can be said wiIh the same facility as
'nice shirt,"' he says. Goldman think, il"s
important for people to undersiand Ihcir
public culture. 'Tm not trying to get people
10 stop wniching ads. I'm not saying they' re
evil. I'm jusl 1rying lo gel them to under•
stand them in a ltugcrcontcxt."'' he says. He
adds th,ll it's tough for acadenucs 10 wri1e
for :l mass audience, but .. if ii get$ a rcw
people thinking then it was worth ii. ..
Goldman is planning 10 do future
projects using Ihc internet or CD-ROM as
they arc more suited to the dynamism of
television. "1t·s extremely frustrating to
wrile nbout television in words.'' he says.
Titc visual narurc and motion of celcvision
were a difficult malch for 1hc prinl mc<lium.
so he's cxperirncn1ing with newer ones.
Goldman also thinks: more visual mcclia can
be " powerful tool for gening students 10
1hink rencctively and criIically. ··1 believe
we can use things like this 10 teach bener
Ihan we ever have before.'' he says.
