"We, in turn," MacAvoy adds, "are one of the few business schools to em­ phasize economics as the foundation for all of our courses in the functional fields of management." (The New York Times, in its story on the renaming, phrased it this way: "Rochester is ranked second only to the University of Chicago as a center for its free market economic philosophy, with an emphasis on deregulation and monetarism.") A former Secretary of the Treasury and a notably suc­ cessful entrepreneur, Simon has been described as "an innovator-with a firm grasp on the economic rights and opportunities that secure a free society."

4 Rochester Review The Other Side of the Window

By Denise Bolger Kovnat

Radio station WRUR broadcasts twenty hours a day, 365 days a year-on a relatively modest signal of 1,000 watts. But its real power lies in the ex­ traordinary affection Rochester students, past and present, hold for it.

f you're really a WRUR insider, I the standard way to enter the studio is through the window and across the couch. Make a more conventional entrance and you're not cool. (Even UPS drops its packages through the window.) Step down from the couch and you're in the FM control room. From there you might make your way through the record collection, the AM control room, and the transmitter room to hang out in what is loosely des­ ignated as "the lounge." The lounge mainly consists of couches and chairs sprinkled at odd angles, oozing wads of extruded padding in an aroma of dank and mold. You can (vaguely) identify the styles as colo­ nial or Queen Anne or contem­ porary. but they all exhibit what one DJ calls "a Saturday­ Night-Live quality." ("Jacquard?" says a student. "Is that what it is? I thought it was just ugly.")

His wife would sometimes sit there too, al­ though way off. But when he built his new house, he didn't build an office for us to sit down in. We had to stand under his carport, rain or shine. Whatever papers we had to look at, spread those across the hood of my car, our "desk." Since all along Mrs. Welch acted more Rebel than her husband, I got the idea that maybe she had some­ thing to do with moving the "calnty" business out of doors. I would stand on one side of the car and tell Mr. Welch, for example, "We are invited to Columbia, and we want to take twenty children from each school." As it turned out, he said, "Why yes, Fields, and you can use the busses." He often agreed to do little things for the schools. He also took to calling me "Head Teacher," most of the time, in place of "Fields." As a matter of fact, he start­ ed to tell me one day how I needn't have that "foreigner" Alice LaSaine over me, supervising; how she came from somewhere but, now, I was a Charlestonian. Now, of course, I knew enough not to borrow that type of trouble by paying any attention, and I was not interested in driving round and round through the country. The peculiar part was that he would talk like that although Mrs. LaSaine did everything she could in the Old South, "good manners" way. The teachers mustn't ring the doorbell to the trustee's house, according to her. We must stand at a distance and callout. And, when we got our cars, "Don't drive right up to Mr. Welch's house."

Despite the difficulty of the task, however, the past two decades have brought considerable progress. Treat­ ment in multidisciplinary centers like Rochester's appears to be particularly effective. A review of fifty-six former patients at a similar facility at the University of Nebraska found that these patients were now experiencing significantly less pain - while resorting to less medication, spending less time in the hospital, and undergoing fewer surgical procedures. Although some pain might still persist, 75 percent of them no longer even found it neces­ sary to consult a physician about it. The Rochester Pain Treatment Center expects similar encouraging results. Its twelve-member staff­ prepared to deal with pain from many disciplines - encompasses experts in anesthesiology, physical therapy, or­ thopedic surgery, dentistry, behavioral medicine, and nursing.

Prince says an Abbott show is very identifiable - for its clarity, brevity, pacing, and honesty. "One of George's favorite words" - Prince is virtually the only person on Broadway who calls him "George'~"is 'peppy.' Pep is what he brings to a show." What is the Abbott touch? To George Abbott it's "like any good conversation, you keep to the point so the play's not filled with lapses that mean nothing." Usually, Abbott says, there's only one thing he brings to a show. "I make them say their final syllables." Now that his hearing is not what it used to be, he will be listening even harder Among the directors in today's for those final syllables.

Kafka Prize The "whole new world" created by science-fiction writer Ursula K. Le Guin in her novel Always Coming Home (Harper & Row, 1985) has won her the University's most recent Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize for Fiction by an American Woman. "In a decade of Kafka winners and contenders, we've not had a work quite like Always Coming Home," says Robert G. Koch '45, chairman of the selection committee. "In it, Le Guin creates a whole new world." A novel about a people called The Kesh, who live in the distant future, the book is accompanied by a tape cassette of original Kesh love songs, rituals, and poetry. "Across the abyss of time from this possible future," says Koch, "Le Guin brings to life our descendants, often still riddled by our careless violence against nature and ourselves, in a book that is fascinating, demanding, and finally satisfying.

Quoting a report in the respected journal Science, the Times suggests that Don Marshall Gash, associate pro­ fessor of neurobiology and anatomy, may have come up with an ethically acceptable alternative. Rather than working with embryonic tissue, Gash and his colleagues have been working with human tumor cells that have been chemically treated, apparently successfully, to prevent them from multiplying.
