Presidential prejudice?

Jackson fights to overcome racism, says Barker "If the nation could close its eyes to his color, Jesse Jackson would be in a strong position to win the Democratic nomina- tion for president in 1988 with a broad cross-section of people jumping on his bandwagon," says Lucius J. Barker, Ph.D., Edna Fischel Gellhorn Professor of Pub- lic Affairs at Washington University and author of a recently published book on Jackson's 1984 campaign.

"Jackson is among the top two or three Democratic candidates nationally in a field where there is no incumbent," says Barker. "His showings in the early primary and caucus states thus far and his likely and increasing support throughout the campaign would seem to suggest that he would be considered a candidate with a strong chance to win the nomination. Yet Jackson is not being accorded such consideration. Instead, Jackson's campaign is again being cir- cumscribed by the vestiges of American racism," Barker charges. "I find that appalling."

(Barker will give a lecture titled "Jesse Jackson's Presidential Campaign: 1984 Looking to 1988" at 4 p.m. Wednesday, March 9, in Simon Hall, Room 110. The lecture is sponsored by the African and Afro-American Studies Program.)

At least one prominent Democrat has broached the race issue publicly. At a Democratic forum in fall 1987, New York Gov. Mario Cuomo challenged po- litical pundits who say Jackson will not be elected because he is black: 'You can't say it's because he's not smart enough. You can't say it's because he's not experienced. You must be saying it's because he's black — if so, say it. I wouldn't say it because it's a terrible thing to say — and it's the same as say- ing, 'I couldn't win because I'm Italian.' "

Barker was elected a Jackson dele- gate to the Democratic National Con-

vention in 1984. His book, Our Time Has Come: A Delegate's Diary of Jesse Jackson's 1984Presidential Campaign, is available at local bookstores as Jack- son rounds the corner in his second bid for the Democratic nomination. Barker and Jackson met in 1972 when Jackson received an honorary degree from Wash- ington University. Barker had nominated him.

"Jackson's strong backing among Democratic voters, normally a plus, is downplayed with an asterisk-like obser- vation that Jackson's standing among Democrats can be attributed mainly to his wide support among black voters," says Barker.

While acknowledging that Jackson's support comes mostly from the black community, Barker says the constant re- petition of this observation reflects an insensitivity to race relations in Amer- ica. And that is bound to hurt Jackson.

"It suggests that he is the 'black can- didate' and makes it more difficult for him to broaden his base among white voters. These harmful effects of racism, couched under the less odious but no less devastating 'he can't win' label, con- tinue to limit and frustrate Jackson's en- tire effort." Barker says party leaders, politicians and the media share respon- sibility for abetting the notion that America is not ready for a black president.

"But Jackson appears undaunted in his attempts to overcome this situation and broaden his appeal and Rainbow Coalition." says Barker. "And he seems to be meeting with some success as exem- plified by his relatively strong support in Iowa, New Hampshire and Minnesota — all states with very sparse black popu- lations, and where Jackson clearly had the support of a sizeable number of white voters.

"But with rare exceptions Jackson's success in these states has not received much media attention. Clearly there is something else about Jackson that appealed to these voters, and that something else could perhaps have made for a wonderful story, about how the matter of race was overcome by other factors. This is in many ways a success story about race in America, and for the most part, it remains to be told."

Barker discusses Jackson's prospects for 1988 based on his own experiences as a black man, political scientist and national convention delegate.

"If people are serious about trying to change direction in certain public policies such as overcoming massive un- employment and poverty, and improv- ing foreign policy, they will support Jackson, who really wants to bring about fundamental change," Barker says. "Jack- son's speeches may sound radical to the mainstream, but it is his task to show Americans that all of our futures — at home and abroad — are linked together.

"We have not developed our human resources at home to their fullest poten- tial. It is difficult to accurately assess how the effects of racial and sexual dis- crimination continue to restrict the number and development of top-flight scientists, professors, doctors, lawyers, political leaders and even non- professionals. Realizing our fullest po- tential as a nation and a free people is maximized by an environment that gives every person an equal chance to do the same."

To illustrate possible racial preju- dice against Jackson, Barker points to a 1984 Gallup survey conducted with the Joint Center for Political Studies. An- swering the question, "If your party nominated a generally well-qualified man for president and he happened to

Nuclear expert will discuss arms race status Paul Doty, Mallinckrodt Professor of Bio- chemistry and director emeritus of the Center for Science and International Af- fairs at Harvard University, will deliver the Compton Lecture at 11 a.m. Wednes- day, March 9, in Graham Chapel.

Doty's lecture is titled "Reversing the Arms Race? The Changing Nuclear Confrontation." It is part of the Univer- sity's Assembly Series and is free and open to the public.

Doty, who worked on the Manhattan Project, which developed the atomic bomb, has served as a consultant for the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. He is a senior adviser for the public television series "The Nuclear Age."

Doty is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences. He is a member of the American Academy's Committee on International Secu- rity Studies and the National Academy's Committee on International Secu- rity and Arms Con- trol. Since 1975, Paul Doty Doty has chaired the Dartmouth Con- ference Arms Control Task Group. He previously chaired the Aspen Institute Summer Study on Arms Control, the Aspen Institute Berlin Workshop on European Security, and a Soviet- American scientists group examining arms control.

The Compton lecture is named after Arthur Holly Compton, a Nobel Prize- winning physicist who was chancellor of Washington University from 1945-1953.

French Romantic works highlight of organ recital Sunday Washington University alumnus Thomas Harmon, professor of music and univer- sity organist at the University of California/Los Angeles, will present the Howard B. Kelsey Organ Recital at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 6, in Graham Chapel.

The recital, which is free and open to the public, will feature French Romantic organ works by Cesar Franck, Louis Vierne, Charles Marie Widor, Mar- cel Dupre, Joseph Jongen and Henry Mulet.

Harmon has been a member of the University of California faculty since 1968. He received his bachelor's degree in 1961 and a doctorate in 1971, both from Washington.

Harmon served as organist for the First United Methodist Church of Santa Monica for 11 years. An active per- former, he has received critical acclaim for his recitals throughout the United States and Europe and for his recordings on the Orion, El Dorado, Varese Sara- bande and Protone labels.

Harmon, whose specialization is Bach, is author of the internationally known book The Registration ofJ.S. Bach's Organ Works.

The recital honors Howard B. Kel- sey, Washington's organist from 1945- 1977. Harmon was Kelsey's student.

Chamber music concert features Brahms' quintet

Katherine Thompson, Edison Theatre's new managing director, plans to expand the series.

Expansion with international fare goal of Edison director Katherine Thompson, Edison Theatre's new managing director, is the kind of person who looks for the magic in life.

"I've always felt that the arts provide a kind of magic — something more than what everyday life offers," says Thomp- son. "I think it's important to make it as easy as possible for people to have that transcendent experience," she adds.

With eight years of experience in theatre and performing arts organiza- tions that include the Mid-America Arts Alliance, the Nebraska Arts Council, the Mid Atlantic States Arts Consortium and the National Endowment for the Arts, Thompson has demonstrated a strong desire to provide magic to the masses.

In her new position of scheduling exciting theatrical events for Edison, Thompson plans to expand the series, adding more performances of inter- national importance and continuing to present the avant-garde. "We want to present more variety and develop a larger audience among students and the community," she says. Thompson and Henry I. Schvey, Ph.D., performing arts chairman, are developing plans for a separate young people's series, while consulting with members of University ethnic and student groups to determine what programs will attract their members.

Among the programs scheduled for Edison's next series are the Peking Opera, the Prague Blacklight Theatre, the National Theatre of the Deaf, the Market Theatre of South Africa and Col- leen Dewhurst.

A native of Annapolis, Md., Thomp- son received a bachelor's degree in the- ater arts from the University of Virginia in 1976, where she graduated cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa. She spent her jun- ior year at the Universite de Montpellier in France.

Wanting to experience a different 2 lifestyle, Thompson and her husband,

Jake, spent last year working in Nepal, where she says she discovered another kind of enchantment.

"In America, you don't feel much magic in everyday life. In Asia, you're part of the river of humanity. We woke up to the sounds of our Hindu neighbors chanting and ringing bells, and at night we could hear the drums, bells and Ti- betan chants of the Buddhists. We were surrounded by different cultures and the physical beauty of that part of the world."

Although their 13 months in Kat- mandu, Nepal's capital, were not all filled with mystical beauty, the Thomp- sons came away from their quest with broader visions and open minds.

"We decided that we should stay long enough ro soak into the culture," says Thompson. "Katmandu is the dis- ease capitol of the world. Even our fresh vegetables had to be soaked in iodine water. The streets are packed with beg- gars, naked kids, pigs and goats. We had no stove or refrigerator, only a kerosene burner."

During her year in Nepal, Thompson taught at the American English Language Institute and for the Danish Volunteers, and did volunteer work for Save the Children. When not teaching, the Thompsons found themselves trekking through the Himalaya Mountain ranges for weeks at a time, staying at villages along the way, or getting involved with the lives and problems of the people they met.

"Coping with living in Asia has made the details of theatre work — which can be very hectic at times — seem very reasonable," says Thompson.

"It was important for me to be away from theatre for that period," she says. "It's given me a new perspective. The freshness is back."

And from all indications, the magic has followed. Bridget McDonald

be black, would you vote for him?" 75 percent of white America said "yes," 18 percent said "no" and 7 percent re- sponded "don't know."

Barker terms that 18 percent a "very serious problem" reminiscent of voter apprehensions in I960 that John Ken- nedy's Catholic faith would interfere with his presidential duties.

"Kennedy tackled that barrier head- on," and Jackson might have to continue to do the same by pointing out that he can be a both a black American and a person who could administer the office of president without favor or prejudice, says Barker.

Like Kennedy, Jackson has clear reasons for such a speech. "If America truly believes in the principles of free- dom and justice, where any person has an equal opportunity to achieve full po- tential, including an equal chance to provide political leadership," Barker says, "we must include in that calculus a fair opportunity for a qualified black person to become president of the United States."

Jackson has been visible since his 1984 campaign championing the lot of the family farmer, the unemployed, strik- ing laborers, and the poor, Barker says. He is dealing with more family, moral and government policy issues.

"The positions he is taking today might be looked upon as a gradual but decided progression in Jackson's own political development," Barker observes. "In 1984 he highlighted runoff primaries and talked about how Democratic Party rules hurt his candidacy. That cast him in the role of an outsider."

For 1988 Jackson is emphasizing issues with broader appeal and is more of a team player and an insider, notes Barker, yet he manages to retain the stance of an outsider. That allows him to take non-traditional positions on major domestic and foreign policy issues.

A person may be "born in the slum but the slum need not be born in him," Jackson has said. That comment is "very personal and real" to Barker, who has risen to the top of his profession — first as vice president of the American Politi- cal Science Association, then as presi- dent of both the Midwest Political Science Association and the National Conference of Black Political Scientists.

Barker grew up in Franklin ton, La., in the 1930s and '40s when "blacks were

not accorded even simple respect and dignity as persons, much less funda- mental rights as United States citi- zens. To think of going as a delegate to a national party convention — to help select a presi- dential candidate

— would have been among the most ul- timate of dreams," he writes.

With all the challenges, Barker re- mains optimistic. "Because the law and policy of this nation and campaigns like Jackson's are directed at overcoming the vestiges of racism," he says, "Jackson's campaign should gain appeal among Americans — whites and blacks."

Alumna Helen Park receives Alliance Appreciation Award Helen Ette Park, Washington University alumna and benefactor, has received the Washington University Alliance Ap- preciation Award.

The special recognition award, es- tablished by the Board of Trustees last year, symbolizes the alliance between the University and the larger society. It is awarded to individuals who, by unselfish commitment to humankind, have exemplified the ideals of the University and who, through their alliance with the University, have made the institution better and inspired others to do the same.

"Mrs. Park has been a generous friend of Washington University for many years. We are deeply grateful for her interest in and continued support of higher education," said Chancellor Wil- liam H. Danforth.

A native of St. Louis, Mrs. Park received her bachelor's degree from Washington in 1919. After graduation, Mrs. Park traveled to the Orient, where

she met her late husband, Mungo Park, an English mining engineer. After mar- rying in 1921, the Parks spent the next 18 years in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where Mungo invested in a Malaysian engineering and mining firm.

While in Malaysia, Mrs. Park pro- duced and grew hybrid orchids that were considered equal to or better than those of the King of Siam. She also ob- tained a pilot's license and flew a Tiger Moth airplane — rare feats for a woman in the 1930s.

As a young girl, Mrs. Park's life was just as interesting. She and her parents traveled to numerous places, including Alaska and Yellowstone National Park, where they were riding in a stagecoach that was held up by a bandit. Her father was an inventor who held 49 patents and founded the St. Louis Malleable Casting Co.

A resident of Newport Beach, Calif., Mrs. Park is a life member of the Univer- sity's Eliot Society.

Reaganomics and Super Tuesday are topics in lecture series "Reaganomics" and "Super Tuesday" are the two remaining topics to be covered in the Public Affairs Thursday lecture se- ries being held through March 31 ■

The lectures, which are free and open to the public, are held from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Eliot Social Sciences build- ing, Room 200 C and D. The series is co-sponsored by the University's Center for the Study of Public Affairs and De- partment of Political Science.

On March 3, John Gilmour, Ph.D., as- sistant professor of political science, will discuss "The Reagan Budgetary Legacy."

"Super Tuesday Symposium: Re-

NEWSMAKERS

flections and Projections" will be held March 31. Panelists for the discussion include Charles H. Franklin, Ph.D., as- sistant professor of political science; Robert H. Salisbury, Ph.D., Sidney W Souers Professor of American Govern- ment; and Murray Weidenbaum, Ph.D., Edward Mallinckrodt Distinguished Uni- versity Professor. Lucius J. Barker, Ph.D., Edna Fischel Gellhorn University Pro- fessor of Public Affairs, will moderate the symposium.

Washington University faculty and staff make news around the globe. Following is a digest of media coverage they have received during recent weeks for their scholarly activities, research and general expertise.

Commenting on the recent stock market plunge, Murray Weidenbaum, Ph.D., director of the Center for the Study of American Business, says if there is a silver lining to all this, it is that the stock collapse helped to push onto the back burner the anti-trade bill — pro- tectionist legislation that is now being considered by Congress. The article, which appeared in the Dec. 28 issue of Insight, added that similar legislation in 1930 is believed to have helped cause the Great Depression after the 1929 crash.

Should your children's cholesterol levels be tested? In an article from the Jan. 27 Springfield, 111., StateJournal- Register, Anne Goldberg, M.D, assistant professor of preventive medicine and public health, says "Families with a his- tory of high blood pressure or high cho- lesterol should be watching their kids' diets because they're more at risk. All parents should know their own choles- terol levels, and when they are high and there's a strong history of heart disease

in the family, children should be tested too." She recommends following a reasonable low-fat diet every day and al- lowing children to splurge on ham- burgers, fries, pizza and ice cream once a week. Fat IS recommended for children under age 2, she cautions, because in proper proportions it supplies fatty acids essential to normal growth and development.

Seventy-five percent of those who smoke continue to do so despite the fact that it leads to serious illness, says Edwin Fisher Jr., Ph.D., associate pro- fessor of psychology, in the Dec. 6 San Diego Tribune. "The combination of the addictive drug nicotine and the strong intertwining of smoking with daily habits makes smoking especially diffi- cult to overcome. Nevertheless, over 40 million Americans have quit smoking. That's one of the most dramatic exam- ples of human behavior change in his- tory," he adds.

Nobel Prize winner Rita Levi- Montalcini, M.D, professor emerita of biology, did the work for which she was honored at Washington University, notes a long profile of the scientist that ap- peared in the Dec. 8 issue of UPro- gresso, an Italian-language newspaper published in New York.
