Ms. Fort received a law degree from Catholic University in 1975 and has been in public practice in a variety of capacities since then. The following is an excerpt from an interview with Ms. Fort.

CB: Tell me about your new What does the Department of Finance and Administration do?

DF: It is responsible for the finances of the state. Right now we're preparing the state's budget and trying to cope with the deficit situation in which we find ourselves. We also provide a variety of service functions for the entire state government .... We're proposing to the legislature that they reorganize the department, splitting off the financial functions from the service functions. That will enable me to concentrate more on the budget and on financial planning than I am now able to do.

To the Editor: I am extremely grateful for the under­

graduate education I received at St. John's where I learned how to think

and logically. The academic j-.,.,,.,.,, ... .,,1 I received there has enabled me to do well professionally - as a graduate student, as a teacher, and a professor at the large Midwest University. However, my experiences since St. John's have raised significant questions about the St. John's curriculum.

This curriculum is based upon the Socratic maxim that the unexamined life is not worth living. In order to examine our collective heritage, students at St. John's study in some depth the intellec­tual underpinnings of western society -the great books and great ideas that helped produce twentieth century Euro­pean and American civilization. The studies are devoted to classics - books that have withstood the tests of time. This criterion that all books read at St. John's must be classics has led to a disdain for contemporary works. Modern books aren't read because they have not withstood the test of time to see if they are in fact classics.

This is a shame. The results of this policy are that St. Johnnies do not study, or comprehend contemporary civi­lization at all.

I would like to suggest that St. John's devote part of its curriculum to examin­ing contemporary problems, so that the graduates of St. John's have a realistic

of western civilization these days. If we want to read the "great" art historians (starting possibly with Cennini and Va. sari), this still does not equal the "expe­rience of listening to Don Giovanni"; reading a great color theorist like Jo. hannnes Itten is a far cry from singing Wachet Auf.

On another point: One essential criteri­on, little mentioned while we were stu-

contemporary society in an academically rigorous way that would maintain the high standards of critical reflective thought that constitute a St. John's edu­cation?

A new "course" could be introduced in the senior year. This course would be structured around topics such as equal rights for women, the nuclear arms race, affirmative action programs, school de­segregation, decaying urban environ­ments, rebuilding a declining industrial base, etc. Classes in this course could meet on a weekly basis and be attended by guest tutors who had some interest fn the topic under discussion. Two students in the class could lead class discussion. on the topic. This responsibility would include doing historical research on the prc>DIE~m. presenting a basic bibliography

1so others would know where to get more information on the topic, summarizing current positions on the topic, and raising pertinent questions for debate and discus. sion.

I can see several advantages to this proposal. In the first place, it would give seniors a chance to lead a classroom discussion.

Second, seniors leading these classes could do contemporary research which would give them skills they don't normal­ly acquire at St. John's. This type of research would expose them to J""·'"""J." that discuss contemporary problems in a reflective way.

THE TRUE QUESTION here seems to be why teach art at St. John's? St. John's cannot be perfect in the sense of being all inclusive. Choices must be made. We weren't taught how to write either - a major handicap for any new graduate of the school. The oral and rational powers developed at St. John's, however, find their way into the written word of the older alumni/ae. There is an "intuitive" process that takes over, the four years of rational speech and the

ic disciplines such as education, sociolo­gy, urban affairs, psychology, etc. Since many St. Johnnies encounter these meth­odologies in graduate school, a small taste in the senior year might better equip them to make decisions about academic careers.

Fourth, it would allow tutors to discuss .. ~.1temporary issues that interest them. Many people who teach at St. John's have previous experience with govern­ment agencies, with other universities, corporations, and graduate schools where they have thought considerably about certain social oroblems.

Finally, the greatest advantage of this course would be to allow each senior to become familiar with the different tions about important issues he or she may contemplate, become active in, and/ or vote on. Many supporters of the St. John's curriculum argue that it is good training for participation in a democratic society. However, St. Jvhn's graduates cannot provide informed opinions on contemporary issues until they overcome their ignorance of them. This course would enable them to return to society with some understanding of key problems and issues that influence all of our lives. Knowing about this world they would be better prepared to become active, in­formed citizens in the society we all inhabit.

To The Editor:

To the Editor:

I would appreciate your printing a correction in the next issue of The Reporter. On page 7 of the February, 1983, issue ("What Makes a Good Semi­nar?"), I am quoted as saying, "We're not here to find out what the truth is. We can hire someone to tell us that.".

I appreciate the difficulty of trying to take notes on a rapidly moving conversa­tion, but I know for a definite fact that I did not say that. Perhaps someone else did (though I do not remember hearing it) and the reporter thought it was'me.

But I know there is not the slightest chance that I said it, for the following reasons: it is contrary to what I think; it

an outrageous formulation that has never occurred to me; such a statement would come only from an incorrigible philistine; and, finally, I don't even understand what the statement means. Please correct the record.

The Friends of St. John's and the King William Players, under the direction of Robert Sacks, Santa Fe tutor who is a visiting member of the Annapolis faculty this year, presented a remarkable pro­duction of Macbeth in January.

With the noise:~ of the heating fans turned off on Saturday night, almost every word the actors spoke could be understood without difficulty. Their clari­ty had the confidence of modesty: they almost never sought to impress. Their refusal to be hurried gave the audience time to understand the words and taught an lesson in seriousness.

Sack's readiness to deal with the super­natural made it clear from the beginning that Macbeth, played by St. John's tutor Robert Williamson, had real strength, which his reliance on the supernatural weakened and kept beyond his reach. It made clear that Macbeth was greater than his own measure of himself and that MacBeth's incapacity to take his own measure made it impossible for him to

of the duplicity of the oracles at the end recalled the loss of illusion of the kings of Herodotus, but Macbeth's disillusionment is different from theirs. For unlike He­rodotus's kings, Macbeth experienced the fullness of his strength even though that experience comes too late for anything but his own warrior's death which, like the death of Catiline in Sallust, lent Macbeth some honor and allowed the audience to experience the dread of wasted greatness.

Macbeth's blind search for his strength and his discovery of it contrasted power­fully with the weakness that over­whelmed Lady Macbeth, portrayed by Wendy Feintech, Beverly Hills, Calif., senior. Her appearance washing her hands in her sleep taught the difference between madness and the supernatural because of its brittle woodenness that recalled the vulnerability of a young girl. She walked as if she were almost already dead, a fading from life underlined by the two observers, the English doctor, played by David Amirthanayagm, and a gentle­woman, played by Alexandra Mullen, who must speak of her in the third person because she is impervious to address.

In contrast to this senselessness, Mac­beth's extravagantly credulous praise of medicine gave the first hint of his strength for it bore unabashed witness to his love of Lady Macbeth, a love that soon showed its limits in its refusal to yield to sorrow.

At the banquet after the murder of Banquo, Lady Macbeth showed a won­drous formality that managed for an instant to turn Macbeth's vision of Ban­quo's ghost into a nervous tic and to dispel the Scottish nobleman's intima­tions of the untoward. Its insistence, however, showed the innocence she bold­ly mustered actually amounted to ·a

' plain goodwill of by tutor Hugh McGrath, looked like weak-ness of mind and paralysis, a paralysis not entirely unlike Lady Macbeth's bold formality. He would see nothing. In the face of his own murderers, his own murder was inconceivable to him. There was something about that suggested the unwittingly willing victim. This is not innocence. He could imagine nothing; Macbeth, almost anything.

The unknowingness of the Porter, which Mr. Sacks played, in contrast to the almost willed ignorance of Duncan, provided the relief of familiar prosaic­ness exulting in itself in drink. Mr. Sacks set his words to his slow progress through a stage which appeared by its darkness as boundless as the inside of a cave where the only light came from him. The darkness made the light of the next scene, in which the court discovers the murder of the king, harsh, sharp, and unremitting.

The various postures of the members of the court and their distance from Mac-

all directed with something of the stiffness of a tableau, put Macbeth at the center of the scene - and of their minds - suggesting to them his guilt. This undercurrent of unbearable knowledge was enough to make Macbeth's speeches of horror at the murder echo in hollow­ness. It made palpable the hyprocrisy that from then on would not yield its cruel hold on him despite his unsparing words to himself.

Our contemporary audiences will not shriek or scream or even gasp. But they will laugh with a harshness, even a brutality that is precious, because unex­pected. They laughed at MacBeth's un­characteristically brief blunt remark upon hearing the catalogue of the prodi­gies that it indeed had a "rough night."

' cient tragedy. That is why Aristophanes' laughter deepens ancient tragedy).

This production's capacity to convey the greatness of Macbeth, his nobility at the same time that showed his weakness, was its greatest accomplishment. It showed how he became evil or small, but because he could not cope with his greatness. The word "tyrant" at the_ end rings with its full meaning, something that rarely happens in reading Macbeth.

At the end the play.goer understood that Macbeth, despite his virtues, has turned into a mere tyrant and that tyrants end this way in countries that have the stuff not to allow the tragedy of a man to turn into the tragedy of a .nation. At the end Caithness's (Christo­pher Junker) distinction between rulers who cannot and rulers who should be obeyed had the force of self-evidence. It allowed sorrow to dispel . the aroma of blood that had penetrated much of the performance .

In this production Macbeth looked like some hoary antique, full of richness and meaning, like the crowns of golden laurel recently discovered in Macedonia or the two fifth century statues that scuba ·divers found a few vears ago off the beach in southern Colabria. It seemed perfectly intact and at the same newborn, as if arisen from the sea of time with a glistening intelligence and depth of feeling that made your eyes and ears wince and smart. It seemed fresher than anything we can imagine, which is a measure, I think, of how much we are adrift in our own times and lost in our incomprehension of them - and in our loneliness that will not stand greatness and therefore. snends: itself~ in

Mr. Colby, who possesses high manage­rial skills along with. both practical and imaginative foresight, became manager of the printshop in March, 1979.

Since then he has transformed a little print in the cellar of Carroll Barrister House; which the col­lege from time to time had threatened to close into a hard working center .turning out ~ stream of· college publications: admissions material, ·student magazines and student .weekly, classroom manuals, lectures, and development material. If he can add a third man to bis staff -manpower now become a problem -Mr. Colby hopes to start printing the college magazine, The St. John's.Review.,

This year, by the end . of June, Mr. Colby estimates he will have done $120,-000 in "charge back" figures for college offices, about half th(} cost if the printing had been done commercially.

"We should have done it 10 years ago," he said.

The new offset press promises to make it an a reallty.

"Although I am now the 375 press was one of the last products developed under my administration," Mr. Van Tassel, who formerly headed the A.B. Dick Company in Chicago, said.

"Consequently I was delighted to par­ticipate in making it available to St. John's. The college is fortunate indeed to have a man of Chris Colby's vision and dedication ... His enthusiasm is conta-
