We live on an island. The dry land that connects us to the what-it-is we call the world, is a fiction. ls Hyde Park alogical extension ofWood- lawn. Kenwood. or South Shore? Does it belong to the Loopthat we can see looming through the north- ward smog? Or South Chicago? We have more in common with the lake. Hyde Park is integrated, more or less. Praise it for its advances, or cas- tigate it for its hypocrisy; compared to almost any other community in the country, it is still a rare neighbor- hood indeed. Here. Education is not just the traditional rite of passage the com- mon man subjects himself to; in one way or another, most Hyde Parkers believe it to be a real thing in its own right. Those mythopoeic authorities, Pths, are your neighbors. Ten bookstores for 40,000 people. Aca- deme is here and now; and a strange isolated world it is. Is Hyde Park part of Daley Chica- got or Dirksen Illinoist 0r Johnson America? Dissent is conformity, the status quo daring. Thus we show what we knew any- way: Hyde Park is strange.

. q.-.I.-!.dk4:r.-.-,:g-u puma . u JJJJJJJJJ v. ,9! Black and white, in a sea of black, in an ocean of white. Must of us came from the ocean; we grew up there. hardly affected by the swarming troubles of the distant ghetto. All ofa sudden. there it was all around us. Urban Problems are realities. Storefront churches and carryout soui food, seen from the E1 platform. Howling Wolf, Paul Buttcrheid, and every hand on campus playing the blues. The family in the down- stairs apartment is on ADC, The kid who stops you on the sidewalk tells you he's in the Blackstones; what are you going to do about it, hey mam got a quarter? There are no abstractions left to us. Comfortable defini- tions and comfortable answers dontt work. After watching a scraggly child get shaken down by an older boy down the block, how can you expect him to understand the reward of virtue? But by the same token. how can you spin sociologi- cal excuses to yourselfwhile yotfre getting mugged? Maybe things will work out.
