E VERY CORNER of Trueblood
Theatre was used in Friday
night's presentation of Dances For 2, a
program choreographed and perfor-
med by Susan Matheke and Willie
Feuer.
The Trueblood Theater, now in arena
form, was effective as the stage,
allowing one not only to watch the ac-
tions of the dancers, but the reactions of
the audience. A curtain never went up
or down; and the backdrops were the
faces of the viewers.
It was the first time Dances For 2 had
performed at the theater. "Bits of the
dances had to be altered," Matheke
said, but it was a nice change.
Premiered were Matheke and
Feuer's solos, Interior and Ether.
Interior began with heavy sounds of
piano and alto sax. Matheke reacted
with leaps and leg extensions that
swept her around the stage. However,
as the music mellowed, her movements
became less outward and more inward.
Wrapping "around herself" and using
the floor with her whole body was a
well-designed contrast to the sweeping
beginning.
Ether's "music" was a reading by
James Martin on endurance sleeping, a
parody on endurance running, while
Feuer "sleep-walked" across stage.
Though a wonderfully new approach to
dance, it didn't quite work. The
spotlight was on one too many persons.
Had Martin been just a "voice,"atten-
tion would not have been diverted from
Feuer. Concentration on the syn-
copation of movement and words would
have been greater had Martin not been
there.
Other dances were the duets Rumble,
Swamp, and The Crane's Waltz, which
originally premiered last June in New
York City.
With Rumble, Matheke and Feuer
appeared black and sleek in costume.
Like flirtatious birds they moved from
dances
soft arabesque lines to wing flapping.
After creating more facial expressions
than most dancers allow themselves,
they enhanced their story with a touch
of vaudeville drama.
Heavy footing and heavy breathing
as well as light jungle tactics were in-
corporated by the dancers as they took
us through the Swamp. Jumping into
steadfast plies, creeping and crawling
amidst "tall reeds", they waited for an
imagined enemy.
For the finale, Dances For 2 glided
through The Crane's Waltz, light and
leggy, preening their feathers and en-
joying their grandeur.
Combining themes of nature into
human expression as a modern dance
form was accomplished successfully,
balancing the serenity of the cranes
with the sense of urgency one would feel
in a swamp.
Dances For 2 mixes innovation,
liveliness, and expert execution to
provide an entertaining as well as
stimulating dance program.

strict controlO
in Philippines
MANILA, Philippines (AP)- One year after he
proclaimed martial law lifted, President Ferdinand
Marcos maintains strict control over nearly every
aspect of Philippine life.
Opponents say nothing has changed since Jan. 17,
1981, when Marcos issued his proclamation to end
eight years of the state of emergency.
"DURING THE past year, various superficial,
cosmetic changes have been blown up to appear as
major advances in democratization. They are
nothing of the sort," says former state university
president Salvador Lopez.
When martial law was ended, Marcos retained the
right to restrict freedoms in the interest of national
security and to make new law by decree. His orders
have ranged from a ban on video game machines to
restored levies in the coconut industry.
Last year, Marcos played host to Pope John Paul
II, a boost to Marcos' prestige in this overwhelmingly
Roman Catholic country. The president also halted a
spate of terrorist bombings in Manila, weathered
economic problems and won a new six-year term.
HIS BACKERS hailed him as the hero of Cancun,
the economic summit in Mexico at which poorer
countries from the Southern Hemisphere confronted
the industrialized north. There, Marcos developed
closer ties with his seatmate-President Reagan.
Reagan has cracked down on Philippine dissidents
in the United States and is pushing a Philippine ex-
tradition treaty. And he has invited Marcos to
Washington for an official visit.
The end of martial law has meant little to the
average Filipino, whose annual average earnings are
equivalent to $734 a year at a time of rising unem-
ployment and a decline in the value of the peso.
THAT POVERTY contrasts with the wealthy elite
and with the glitter of a government-financed inter-
national film festival that opens tomorrow in a $20
million building ordered by the first lady.
There is a growing middle class in Manila that
patronizes two new U.S. fast-food restaurants, shop-
ping malls and the city's 100 movie houses.
The end of martial law has meant a freer press, but
the freedom is untested. Some magazines and small
newspapers regularly attack Marcos, but the major
media don't: They are owned by Marcos' relatives
and friends.
STRIKES ARE permitted, unless Marcos deter-
mines they're not in the national interest. There have
been few student demonstrations in recent months,
and none have been violent.
Several groups have said they will take on Marcos
politically, but none has won a national following. His
New Society Movement holds nearly every office and
is the only accredited political party.
Marcos is pressing officials to find Tommy
Manotoc, 32, who disappeared Dec. 29 after dining
with Marcos' daughter, Imee, 26. Manotoc secretly
married Imee last year in Arlington, Va., according
to documents there. His family has accused Marcos
of being behind the disappearance because he didn't
approve of the marriage. Marcos has blamed
Manotoc's disappearance on rebels.
Doctors
(Continued from Page 1)
by two San Diego State University
marketing professors reported that
"lose to one-half of the sample ex-
pressed the, belief that advertising
would force physicians to. be more
responsive to consumers' needs and
wants, improve consumers' awareness
and knowledge of doctors, assist them
in making a better selection of
physicians and thus affect their choice
of a doctor."
The authors maintain that "in-
creasing competition could lead to
lower medical fees, but it was not
believed that advertising would
stimulate overall demand for doctors'
services."
"The research has shown that adver-
tising by physicians will not reflect ad-
versely on this profession," wrote the
marketing professors, because con-

sumers will be responsive to it. Never-
theless, they add, "the present study
has shown that the majority of the
public is ignorant of the legal status of
advertising liy doctors. This is not sur-
prising, given the recency of legislative
developments on the topic of
professional advertising."
Legally, doctors may advertise in
whatever fashion and to any extent they
please.
According to Warren Pryloff, Direc-
tor of the Michigan State Medical
Society, the issue before the court is not
simply advertising, but the gover-
nment's attempt to take self-regulation
away from professional societies such
as the AMA,
"The AMA is simply trying to clarify
who has jurisdiction," Pryloff said, ad-
ding that the Michigan chapter con-
tinues to permit the practice of "free
and open advertising."
"It (the advertising) has to be ac-
curate, that's all," said Pryloff. "We
are not aware of any physicians adver-
tising anything inappropriate.'We, (the
AMA) know what's going on," he ad-
ded.
Pryloff maintains that the adver-
tising issue has never really affected
the Michigan chapter, because there
are no official prohibitions or
guidelines.
"There is no regulation of fees," said
Richard Robb, Chairman of the
Washtenaw District Dental Association
which also would be affected by the
court's ruling. "What we hope people
will do is advertise fairly and respon-
sibly," he added.
Robb maintains that widespread ad-
vertising and government regulation
will decrease the overall quality of
patient care.
"I am opposed to it (regulation),"
Robb said. "I think it(the FCC) is a
large bureaucratic organization that
can't do anadequate job. '
Robb said like most professional
societies, dentistry maintains local
"peer review committees" to self--
monitor their profession. Seventy per-
cent to 80 percent of complaints by con-
sumers are settled at the local level, he
said.
"We have a peer review commit-
tee," explained Robb, "and if anyone
would like to file a complaint, they are
able. The ultimate (peer review
decision) is revocation of the license.''
Edwin Bladen, Michigan Assistant
Attorney General in charge of the
Economic Crime Division and the Anti-
trust Unit, said that regardless of the
AMA's arguments, any professional
society that bans or otherwise restricts
advertising is in violation of the law.
"The first amendment does protect a
person's right to advertise prices of
their services," Bladen said.

LOS" ANGELES (AP)-A series of
home movies shot by H. R. Haldeman
at the Nixon White House is being
edited for distribution as six hour-long
TV specials, Haldeman and an in-
dependent producer say.
The Super-8 film has been edited and
transferred to videotape by Jim
Devaney and JPD Enterprises of
Rolling Hills Estates, and Executive
Television Productions, a Canadian
producer, Devaney said.
"It's an unprecedented film,"
Devanay said. "Never in history has a
presidency been filmed from inside the
White House."
"THE EFFECT will be to bring back
some of the reality and dismiss some of
the myths," said Haldeman.
Haldeman, a home movie buff, shot
some 20,000 feet of presidential activity
during the Nixon years, 1968-74, in-
cluding plans for Tricia Nixon's wed-
ding, the return of then-Secretary of
State Henry Kissinger from a secret
trip to China in 1972, and Nixon giving
former President Harry Truman the
White House piano.
