By ANDREW LUGG
A new "little" magazine has ar-
rived on campus, which is suf-
ficient reason for a review-a sort
of introduction to some new ideas.
This magazine, "IO," however, is
worthy of more than just this
routine notice, since it has a
definite set of ideas, an overall
unity, a direction which needs be
discussed.,
"I" is a magazine that presents,
a "vision," which at its simplest
-religio-implies a link between
Nature and Man and is an at-,
tempt to forge and extend that
link.
"I0" suggests that "the whole
distinction between things acci-
dental and things designed, like
the distinction between fact and
myth, (is) purely terrestial"
(quote from C. S. Lewis in
"10/3"). y
"I0" stands somewhere between
Gurdjieff and Buckminster Fuller,
Carl Jung and Tattvarthadhi-
gama Sutra, Ray Bradbury and
Robert Kelly, who are all, at one
time or another, quoted in "I0'
And in standing "somewhere be-
tween" "1I" seems to stand over
or around these writers.
The most recent issue, "10/3,":
(available at the usual book-
stores) is devoted mainly to the
Hopi Indians. Richard Grossinger

writes on some linguistic aspects
of the subject and suggests that
"speech contains the nodes for
mystical transformation. The syl-
lable OM contains the phonetic
nodes for the tones of conscious-
ness. The world began with a
name. Syntax broke the code and
gave' it poetic variation"-(which
is, incidently, also a touchstone
for the magazine).
The other writers are all per-
sonally involved with the tribe,
so that in this respect the maga-
zine becomes source material. Don
Qochhongra, the village chief of
Hotevilla, talks of the "devil," the
Great Spirit Massua, of "the third
war (which will be the one to
take place at purification time
upon this land" and of looking
after "our father, the sun." Other
Hopi writers also present, not
analyse, the "facts" of Hopiland.
"Anthropology"-the American
Indian-is one of the pillars on
which the "IO" vision and mani-
festo is built. Another is mathe-
matics-"IO/1" is an issue on the
fourth dimension; Richard Gros-
singer, an editor, discusses, else-,
w h e r e, the mathematics of
dreams.',
Other pillars are "light and
color," as in the films of Stan
Brakhage, who writes in "I0/2";
cosmology, Zen, physics, Gestalt ..
A careful distillation, then, of
"knowledge" forian toward mys-
tical transformation; a magazine,
which is constructive (like Lindy
Hough when she writes in a
prose-poem: "I cannot trade in
delusions/ and refuse to debate
on the inflation of objective/
correlatives") and unlike the de-
structive elements that can be
found, for example, in most mod-
ern European poetry.
Above all "IO" has a point of
view, a point of departure for its
articlesandpoetry. This is a wel-
come change from those other
'littles" which are, at best, simply
vehicles for individual feats of
academic and artistic "brilliance."

By DEBORAH LINDERMAN t
A classic in its time, Arthur1
Miller's "The Crucible," a play<
about the Salem witch hunts of
the 17th century, still "holds up";t
emphasis has perhaps shifted from
the terrors of McCarthy hysteria
and it stands now in its topical
and dramatic dimensions as an ex-
ploration of the dynamics of a
guilty society which operates on,
a principle of covertness and re-
pression, a society that one rec-
ognizes as one's own, in the con-
tinuing throes of Puritanism.
The University Players' produc-
tion of the play is excellent, pri-
marily because the players, almost
all of them, manage to do a very
difficult thing: act the part-of
hypocrites. This is difficult be-
cause it entails a twofold job of
projecting one set, of public mo-
tives while making it dramatically
clear that another set of private
ones is the "real" trigger of a
character's action. Thus, the offi-
cers of life-ministers, lawyers and
respectable citizenry-invoke the
principles of conscience, love, and
peacability and live by those of
knaveryand property. Similarly,
adolescent sex repressions are
converted into "demonry." Fam-
iliar duplicities both, but they
work with subtlety in the play and
are clearly realized by 'the per-
formers.
Two of the principals, John and
Elizabeth Proctor (John M. Knox,
Deborah Packer) whose roles are
most straightforward - they are

the good people they seem-come
across with allowances for opening
night as slightly wooden. They
seem to be following behind their
fine enough idea of a character so
that gesture and affect do not al-
ways coincide. Proctor is best
when he can be angry; he seems
ill at ease in his effort to muster
a genial quiet strength. Elizabeth
Proctor, a pure but cold woman
suffering the wound of her hus-
band's adultery, is just a bit too
tight and restrained, and her
audience may find her hard to
relate to,

that his court, and then his ver-
dict, are being undermined by
true and open humanity is par-
ticularly good as the sophistical
protector of the status quo who
pretends an earnest concern with
justice. Likewise his religious
counterparts, Reverend Hale (Eric
Brown), who is authoritative both
as the respectable hypocrite first
and then as enlightened "peni-
tent," and Reverend Parris (Mark
H. Metcalf), who manages a fine
obsequioousness, are both good.
Abigail Williams (Maureen An-
derman), the "whore" and main
generator of the witch hysteria,
might be bolder about those
touches of canniness, though they
