Although the Xavier Muskies defeated Kenyon by ten points, Scott demonstrated his athletic prowess and left no question as to why he was the nation's leading Division I11 scorer last year, averaging 29 points per game.

by Stuart Adams The wrestling Grapplers split a triangular match at Milford Friday night as they defeated Mariemont 45-26 and lost to a tough Milford team 15-42. Juniors Jim Stucker and Matt Bahnfleth paced the team with double wins and, according to Senior Pierre Collet, show great promise for the upcoming season. Peirre also stated that "we just need to get in a little better shape and work on our mistakes, and then we'll be tough." Coach Marc Tirey also has great optimism in looking at the

team this season. He looks for good performances out of Stucker and Bahnfleth, as well as Seniors Terry Roche and Chris McDaniels. In looking at the league he stated, "Sycamore will run away with the title but we'll be in there for the runner-up spot." On the schedule for the Braves this week is a match at Forest Park Saturday night as well as a quadrangular match at home next Saturday. The top teams in the EHL are entered in the quad match.

Aqua Braves win against LaSaIIe::;h;:;::kd:a,p, by Mike Blotter The 1980 Aqua Braves won every event except the 50 and 500 yard events as they won first meet against LaSalle Dec. 3. First place honors went to Jim Koster in the 200 yard Freestyle, Mike Ackerman in the 200 yard I.M., Mike Blotter in the 100 yard Butterfly, Ron Gaddis in the 100 yard Backstroke and Frederick Lyons in the 100 yard Breaststroke. Both relays also captured first place. After two years of rebuilding, the Indian Hill Aqua Braves are looking forward to an encour-

aging season. With six returning lettermen and two divers, the Aqua Braves have not only acquired some depth they have lacked in previous years, but also enough experience to carry them to state. Seniors Brad Evans, Don Hancock and Mike Blotter have returned along with junior Tim Gardner and sophomore Rob Gaddis and Frederick Lyon .. Brad, Don and Mike will take on the Freestyle jobs while Tim and Frederick lead the specialty men in the Breaststroke and I.M. Rob Gaddis will be head man in the Backstroke and Butterfly events, --

She went on to comment that "with a good attitude and additional swimmers, the season should be more encouraging and competitive than last year.

M a n y shocke at Coliseum disaster; T w o upcoming concerts canceled by Lori Davison Four days after the tragedy at Riverfront Coliseum, in which eleven people died, no one has accepted the responsibility of too few arena doors being opened, but two concerts scheduled for this month were canceled Tuesday. All persons questioned deny the blame for a stampede, which began about 45 minutes before a rock concert, killing eleven youths between ages fifteen and twenty-four. John Tafaro, coliseum publicity director, would not dis-

close how many doors were open, how many ticket-takers were working Monday night, or who was responsible for opening the doors. According to Ticketron officials, 90% of the tickets sold for the concert were for festival seating. Many have criticized these festival concerts because the first-come, first-serve seating caused people to pack at the doors hours before a concert begins. A study conducted in 1976 recommended that the festival seating be reduced, but the coliseum management

was given more time to reduce these events. Coliseum officials have not made any changes in Coliseum operating procedures, although the December 14 Blue Oyster Cult concert and the December 21 Aerosmith concert have been canceled indefinitely. Mayor Kenneth Blackwell has formed a task force to decide the long range planning for operations at Riverfront Coliseum. Blackwell also expects a full report from Safety Director Richard Castellini on Tuesday. Many IH students were in-

volved in the trample. "It was the worst experience I've ever had," says senior Perry Patton of the incident. "I saw this guy lying on the ground, and people just kept stepping on his face. I couldn't look." Three IHers were pushed into the Coliseum with "obviously fake" tickets. "The guy didn't even bother to check." Many students seemed to have changed their minds about festival seating. Says senior Mike Jordan, "If you fall, there's nothing you can do, so next time I'm sitting in the box!"

differences over Shah by Brad Heinbach The U.S. Embassy takeover by Iranian students in Teheran has affected students at Indian Hill in different ways, especially the Iranians. The two governments' actions over the crisis, such as Carter's crackdown on Iranian students whose visas have expired, have not affected the Iranian students at IH, directly. However, some report that the Americans have turned the other way in their treatment towards the Iranians and compain about the hck of sensitivity towards the crisis situation. Shahram Malek, an IH junior, says, "the takeover was the wrong way to get the Shah back." One unidentified IH Iranian student believes that "the Shah is a crimi-

nal and- was a bad ruler." Sheema Kamyabipour, a sophomore, blamed the Shah for everything that is happening now in Iran, and another Iranian student claimed, "the Shah killed over 100,000 people while he ruled." According to the Iranians, the national mood in Iran has changed in the past two years. One Lranian says, "The people of Iran were quiet and were afraid of the secret police." According to Shahram, "they became more vocal during the summer of 1978, when the idea of revolution started gaining popularity." Sheema believes that now "20% of the Iranians are educated and want a more democratic government, while and follow the rest Khomeini." are very religious '

Student Opinion

Senior Sketch

IS too much emphasis placed on standardized' tests?

Nancy devotes time a n d energy to others

by Leslie Megison From virtually the very beginning of junior year, students are prodded to "start planning for college." Counselors then inform them of the standardized tests which must be taken to meet college entrance requirements: the ACT, Achievement Tests, and the all-important SAT. Most American colleges stress the scores on these tests as the major foundation of their admission requirements. Thus, for many students, the pressure is on.

Fear of scoring poorly on these tests has spawned special intensive study courses which are often expensive and debatably effective. The parents of students hoping to receive merit scholarships frequently dwell on the absolute necessity of high scores, escalating the student's anxiety about the tests. Many students simply cannot perform well under 'such pressure from parents and their own consciences, and they do not achieve scores representative of their full potential. The

editorial: Students need practical education Indian Hill High School has always produced achievers. Doctors, lawyers and businessmen are formed from IH ranks every year, and most are quite successful. Unfortunately, many who are financially successful are in reality failures. Alcoholism is a major problem; divorce is on the upswing; and more people are heading for the psycho-' logist's office. Although these problems occur more frequently among the lower classes, why do they even exist among the people who seem to "have everything?" In high school, teachers teach us to find cosines, spell correctly, test well on the SAT, and "B.S." on college applications. But what many students may need are courses entitled "Self-esteem I," "Values IV," or "Inner Peace ." One of the most beneficial courses taught at IH is the health class every student is required to take in tenth grade. Unfortunately, the course is only a quarter long. Physical Education is a course that helps ease frustration and build a healthier mind and body through physical activity. But many consider gym second place behind "real" classes. Psychology is another beneficial course that asks the student to stop and reflect upon his life. The Peer Counselor's program is an exciting idea designed to provide the emotional well-being of a student. The students, teachers, and administration must encourage these courses and programs to expand. Then, perhaps Indian Hill High School can claim that their students are physically and mentally healthy as well as intelligent.

lack of just three or four points can make the disappointing difference in making, or missing the cut-off requirement for scholarship consideration. The test's conditions provide the major drawback for most students. Certain sections on the tests, particularly the ACT and some Achievements, are not based on acquired knowledge of a certain subject, but on numerous reading passages, which must be read carefully in order to answer the questions. Often there are so many of these passages that it is extremely difficult for even the better-than-average reader to finish within the allotted time. Therefore, the potential of the student who simply scores under his ability is unfairly misepresented.

Granted, everyone has a bad day at some time or another. The testing services acknowledge this by allowing the student to take the tests as many times as he wishes. However, the tests can be so unnerving and mentally exhausting as to make the student hesitate to retake them. Understandably, colleges do need some common and discriminating base from which to proceed with admission selections. Nevertheless, heavy dependence upon one or two impersonal standardized tests is a mistake. A loss of the importance of the personal and individual elements can lead to college admission granted, not to unique, creative people, but to the human products of an assembly4ine educational system.

by Natalie Namesoff A peer counselor for two years, Nancy Seibert says, "I like the satisfaction of seeing someone not so depressed and figuring out his own problems." However peer counseling isn't her only way of helping people. Nancy often runs errands for teachers, helps other kids with homework and is just around when people need help. These usually unacknowledged characteristics didn't go unrewarded. When she received the "Humanitarian of the Year" Award, Nancy was "surprised! It didn't seem like I was doing too much, just things that I like to do." Other awards Nancy has received include 3 summer softball league trophies, 2 minor league softball trophies and several acknowledgements in photography. She enjoys capturing nature on film. Her graphic shot of a tree stump won her one trophy and three ribbons at the Hilltop Industrial Arts display at North College Hill. Nancy is planning to attend

academics, a n d go by Dave Messinger Gary Freytag is a perfect example of a balance between an academically excellent student and a big jock. Actually, one could safely say he's a smart jock or an athletic brain. "A well-rounded student," said the "It's Academic" host about Gary. "I choked on my tongue," he explains about his reply, when the host asked Gary to tell a little about himself. Gary's reply was obviously prepared before the show, "I am a member of the National Honor Society," (long pause), "and vice-president of that." Gary made up for his stage fright with his excellent performance throughout the show, which led the IH team to merciless destruction of the other two school teams. The program wdl be aired in mid-February . Gary has been actively involved in three varsity sports; basketball for three years, golf for two years, and tennis for two. "I hope to be playing on a basketball team this spring, and so I might not have the time for tennis this year."

Gary loves everything about basketball-well, almost everything. "I really hate the referees; they just tick me off," he says. Acadmically, Gary has received many honors. He is a National Merit Semi-Finalist and vice-president of National Honor Society. Gary enjoys jokes and good-natured barbs. When asked about his choice for college he replied, "I've narrowed it down to eleven schools: Hmard, Duke, Yale, Stanford, Rice, Brown, Dartmouth, Princeton, Columbia, Pomona and U.C." With all of Gary's honors in school performance in the classroom and out on the sports scene, one would think that Gary's free time would be filled. Amazingly, he still manages to find time to work for the Chieftain under his self-proclaimed title, "editor-inchief of the floor -folding and stuffing." Gary Freytag is constantly making the best of two talents, physical academic prowess. excellence He and enjoys his his every minute of it, and still allows himself time to display his dynamic personality to many.

all, squash by Greg Troutman With the current boom of racquetball and squash, may sporting clubs have built new courts for these games. Because clubs charge anywhere from $6.00 to $15.75 an hour to play, most IH players play at the YMCA. Mr. Tirey added racquetball to the gym curriculum because he feels that it is now so popular that students should have at least a working knowledge of the sport. When asked why he liked playing racquetball, Karl Mattes replied, "It's just a real fun sport! It has action and speed. . .it has everything!" Squash and racquetball are similar -both are played in similar courts with racquets - yet the court boundaries and the type of racquets are different. A racquetball racquet, for example, has a face a little smaller than that of a tennis racquet and is slightly shorter, while a squash racquet is longer, narrower, and is strung tighter. The balls used also differ; the racquetball ball is larger and made of rubber so it bounces, and the squash ball is smaller and does not bounce as much.

CHIEFTAIN

December 7,1979

The result is two different games requiring two different playing styles. Racquetball is more popular, however, probably because of its speed and excite-, ment. Both sports can be learned, quickly; and in a few hours o f , practicing, it is possible to be able to play a good game.

Is your thinking at all influenced by the music (i.e. lyrics) you listen to? (46%) - no (54%) yes The response shows that the music industry does have at least some control over our thinking and beliefs.

2. Do you feel that Cincinnati radio offers a good cross section of musical genres? (20%) - no (80%) - yes A great majority of IH students are satisfied with the music that Cincinnati radio offers. The few that did not feel it was sufficient would like t o see more classical and jazz music and less disco. 3. Do you play an instrument? (56%) - no (44%) yes If so, how many hours do you practice each day? (6%) - more than 2 (8 213%) - 1-2 (36 113%)- % to 1 (38%) - less than % This proves that Indian Hill is a musical school, but that most of the musicians are not extremely serious about their practicing.

IHers examine Anderson's mods by Doug Jones About seven IH students traveled to Anderson High School last Thursday on the student exchange. The exchange program, sponsored by Student Government, gives students the opportunity to see how other high schools operate during school hours. Each student is responsible to make up his assignments he misses. Anderson township feeds into two public high schools: Anderp n y d T'ypin. Turpin was built $

about five years &go to relieve Anderson's overcrowded building. Turpin holds approximately 1,200 students, while Anderson has 1,500 in grades 10-12. Because the district is split between two high schools, some teachers of less popular courses must teach at both schools during the day. Anderson has a modular schedule and follows a six period day from 7: 30-2: 00. Each "mod" is twenty-five minutes long and two modules form each class period. --

,

This system provides a staggered schedule and ensures that the halls are not crammed with students between each class. The school calendar consists of three twelve-week quarters and fewer classes last for the full year. Although the cafeteria lunch is similar to ours at IH, some students eat as early as 10:30 because of their class schedules. Anderson has other different features. It hosts an AFS pro-

An American Government teacher proudly announced that the Ayatollah Khomeini was ' Howard Hughes because of the , similarities in their pictures on the cover of Time magazine. The Anderson exchange provided an excellent opportunity for IH students to see how well a six period schedule works.

JV Braves to go for 2nd EHL win by Brad HeinThe JV Basketball Braves go against Glen Este tonight at 6:00 in their sixth game of the season. The team suffered a disappointing season opener November 22, losing to Mt. Healthy 53-39. The Braves played with hesitation in the first quarter, as the Owls scored nineteen straight points. Although the team played more agressively in the third quarter, they were never able to make up the difference, cutting Mt. Healthy's lead to only sixteen points. Although the JV Braves came out on the short end against Finneytown 50-46 November 24, the team played impressively, making up an eight point deficit in one minute. The Braves turned the game around in the fourth quarter, making effective use of the press. Hn one minute span, the Braves scored eleven points as Terry Healey and Dave Havelic intercepted passes for the Braves to set up the scores. . The JV Braves suffered their third defeat at the hands of Forest Park November 27, losing to the Chargers by a score of 49-32. The Indian Hill JV Braves scored their fnst victory and played their best basketball so far in the season, beating Mariemont 60-46 November 30 on the strength of Teny Healey's thirty points. The game was pretty evenly matched for the first three minutes until Indian Hill took charge. The Braves rallied and inundated the Warriors as they attained an eight point lead a t the end of the fnst quarter. The Braves, awesome in tha rebounding department, stretched their lead to 32-17 at the end of the second quarter, and 47-26 at the end of the third. The Braves suffered a 56-36 loss at Turpin. Terry Healy led all Brave scorers with 12 points. Indoor soccer plays every Thursday at 7:00 p.m. and every Sunday at 1:00 p.m. Teams are now being chosen.

Why Mr. Ken Schneider, of course. If you have ever been in his classes, undoubtedly these jobs and related stories have come up. Mr. Schneider inspires interest in history by combining humorous historical facts with the standard curriculum. His classes are

high spirited and the result is a lot of students later involved in history and related subjects. Snides, as he is called by some of his students, has been teaching for nine years, the last four of them at IH. "The students at IH seem to be goal motivated. I know that sounds like it's straight out of the guidance department." Since he started teaching, Mr. Schneider has coached football, wrestling, track and soccer. "Indian Hill students are just as competitive physically as they are academically Out of school Mr. Schneider reads, swims, builds model tanks, and watches &ls. "Girl-watching has always been a favorite."

."

Mr. Schneider's favorite historical fgures all seem to be colorful and strong willed. "I enjoy teaching my Civil War and Twentieth Century history classes the most. Just look at the personalities of the leaders during these periods." A discussion with Mr. Schneider on the topics of the Confederacy, Kennedy, New Orleans, Miami U., Napoleon, or any history related subject is sure to bring a smile and spark further interest in the topic.

ELP mixture of jazz, rock and classic by Rod Barr Emerson, Lake, and Palmer have been at the pinnacle of "classical rock" ever since their conception in 1969. Their unique blend of classical, rock, and jazz styles has produced a sound that

is distinctly ELP. The trio's newest album, Emerson, Lake, and Palmer in Concert, captures some of the electricity of a live performance while retaining the balance and

clarity of a studio album. The first song of the record, following the "Introductory Fanfare," is a fast, rock-like song called "Peter Gunn." The song in itself is repetitive and somewhat boring, but

The shop features hats, leather boots, belts, jeans, and other western wear. Hats can be custom designed with an assortment of bands, feathers, hat shapes and colors. The manager of the store stresses that the hats are designed to the buyer's taste and "no two hats are alike." The store has a selection of over two hundred leather boots, ranging in price from $45 to $200. Boots can also be custom ordered, if the buyer desires. The western wear buyer can also find an assortment of belts, buckles, western-style shirts, down jackets, and even jeans. 'We s w a large need for wear in cincinnati," states the manager.

The second side of the album contains only two "songs," and they happen to be the best two on the entire album. The first is Emerson's own composition "First Piano Concerto," in which Emerson displays his usual piano playing prowess and also displays his skill as a classical composer. The final song is ELP's excellent rendition of Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition." This piece has a powerful Russian feeling to it and it combines trio work with orchestrated work.

This year, for example, nine seniors and fourteen juniors were admitted to the National Honor Society two weeks ago in induction ceremonies. These twenty-three new inductees will join the 19 present senior members to form IH's forty-two-member NHS. In addition to IH's three National Merit Semi-Finalists (see issue 2). eleven National Merit commended students were also announced. These students scored in the top 5% of all the students that took the PSAT in the United States. IH students who received this award were Peter Bessen, John Cooney, Julii

Another interesting fact the movie shows is that Pete Townshend is a much better guitarist than people usually give him credit for.

by Joan Goldfarb "People don't know what having a family really means," said Mr. Slater, an Indian Hill health teacher, about the deterioration of the family in the United States. He added, "They think it means just being together. But it means more it means sacrifice." The climbing divorce rate and methodical break-up of the family structure seem to be a rising trend in the US, but according to Joe Miner, a counselor at the Family Service of the Cincinnati Area, people still feel that "having a happy family is important." He emphasized that many divorcees have a positive outlook on marriage and even remarry. Another worker in the field of family counseling attributes the degeneration of the family

to "a moral breakdown of values in America." She agreed, however, that "those people or families that are having problems and are trying to do something about it are succeeding," and she attributed these successes to the existence of family counseling sentSces. One counseling service in Cincinnati, the Family Service of the Cincinnati Area, is located at 2343 Auburn Avenue. According to John Miner, the purpose of the family service is to "strengthen and improve family life." They help people who have family and/or marriage problems and they strongly urge anyone with such problems to call them. In today's society, people don't know how to live with other people and get along with them. Mr. Slater stated that

"it is the picky things that seperate families." And he stressed that "silence is a killer." It is much easier to get problems out in the open than to wait until they build up and become prob-

Divorce indicates student distraction from commitment by Chad Christine "Divorce is bound to affect the student in many ways," said Mrs. Crawford of Family service. The increase in the divorce rate over the past ten years has strongly affected the lives of many students. The student's primary reaction to a divorce, according to Mrs. Crawford is a decrease in

performance and a change in behavior. But "divorce does not always have a bad effect on a student if his parents maintain communication," said Mrs. Brush, a divorce counselor. She added, "It will always be hard on the children, though." Miss Coppins, Indian Hill guidance counselor also felt that the

change in family environment resulting from a divorce can have an immense impact on the student. Students often become more introspective and distracted after a divorce."

"Vre tend to read older people out of the mainstream," said Professor Baum. In today's "city society" people work for others. These people retire at a fairly early age feeling that they have nothing to contribute to society. Baum maintains that many senior citizens have viable skills. "There are some programs for older citizens," said Rabbi Cohen, "but, there is just not an adequate amount." Professor Baum agrees. "We tend to treat them like children," he says. "There are arts and crafts programs, but nothing to bring out their skills."

Rabbi Cohen attributes the discrimination against the elderly to technology. People are living longer and have more time to spend in retirement. He added, "Our society gears itself on the idea that the young replace the old, but they're not right." Today, elders voice their opinions more than before. Groups such as the Grey Panthers protest the betrayal of older citizens. In taking an active role these and other organizations can try to assert senior citizens as valuable assets in society.

He felt that divorce is more accepted today than it has been in the past; that marriages are more easily given up; and that there is less social stability because of divorce. And, according to Mrs. Crawford, kids of divorced families may lack commitment because of their up-bringing. "The fact that at least one third of all marriages result in divorce is making divorce more acceptable," said Dr. Dorsey. He also felt that divorce has caused many separated parents to refrain from participating in social activities because of the necessity of getting work. Another of the problems resulting from divorce, according to Mrs. Brush, is "that students often blame themselves." This problem often creates negative impact on the child that may include violence. "The main cause of divorce," felt Dr. Dorsey, "is the lack of maturity and a lack of commitment of parents. Mrs. Crawford added in saying, "This lack of commitment and maturity in the parents can cause their children's marriages to fail because of lack of good example.

by Katie Mitchell The classic definition of 'Sunk ,food:' is t h t of a food which has no nutritious value. The American Public Health Association defines nutritious food as being a food which provides significant amounts of vitamins, minerals, or protein in relation to caloric contribution. This food may not be reduced in value by excessive amounts of sugar, fat or potentially harmful food additives. This definition is open to wide interpretation. The Society for Nutrition Education has come up with a more useful working definition. They define food as being nutritious for which U.S. R.D.A.'s (Recommended Daily Allowance) exists. This means that if a food contains 10% of your caloric (energy) needs for the day, it must also contain 10% of your daily needs for at least four out of twenty nutrients. Food producers can get around this rule legally. If a food contains at least two of the twenty nutrients in double proportion to its energy coiltribution, it is considered nutritious. Many foods are considered nutritious by these definitions. Such foods as vanilla ice cream, yogurt, peanuts, lowfat milk and orange juice are often seen in school lunch lines. All of these items meet the criteria for nutritious food. Such items as potato chips, popcorn, raisins and apples are considered borderline but still nutritious. Raisins and apples are considered borderline because they contain high amounts of natural sugar. From the lists available, the only food which does not meet either definition in the school snack line is a Danish pastry roll. Mary Pottinger, head of lunch room operations says, "All of the food we sell here passes the required standards. The snack line has no regulations and therefore, we can sell anything in it. The state legislature has been discussing a ban on snack foods, but nothing has been done yet." ,. The - lunches served are required to have meat, vegetables, '

bread, milk and the .'minkurn daily requirements of vitamin C. Any cake, ice cream or other dessert is purely optional. While jello usually provides the minimum daily requirement of vitamin C, the requirement is usually fulfilled by a fruit cup or vegetable. "Sugars are right for some people," states Cindy Crilley, IH Physical Education teacher. "Different people respond in different ways to sugars. Many times too much refined sugar in the diet causes stress. There are enough sugar and salts in a regular diet to fulfill the body's requirements." Extra sugars found in "junk foods" give a "high." While a person may feel temporarily satisfied, he will not feel fulfilled, because sugar is addicting.

Mary Pottinger, head of lunch room operations says, "All of the food we sell here passes the required standards. The snack line has no regulations and therefore, we can sell anything in it. The state legislature has been discussing a ban on snack foods, but nothing has been done yet." ,. The - lunches served are required to have meat, vegetables, '

bread, milk and the .'minkurn daily requirements of vitamin C. Any cake, ice cream or other dessert is purely optional. While jello usually provides the minimum daily requirement of vitamin C, the requirement is usually fulfilled by a fruit cup or vegetable. "Sugars are right for some people," states Cindy Crilley, IH Physical Education teacher. "Different people respond in different ways to sugars. Many times too much refined sugar in the diet causes stress. There are enough sugar and salts in a regular diet to fulfill the body's requirements." Extra sugars found in "junk foods" give a "high." While a person may feel temporarily satisfied, he will not feel fulfilled, because sugar is addicting.

Why Mr. Ken Schneider, of course. If you have ever been in his classes, undoubtedly these jobs and related stories have come up. Mr. Schneider inspires interest in history by combining humorous historical facts with the standard curriculum. His classes are

high spirited and the result is a lot of students later involved in history and related subjects. Snides, as he is called by some of his students, has been teaching for nine years, the last four of them at IH. "The students at IH seem to be goal motivated. I know that sounds like it's straight out of the guidance department." Since he started teaching, Mr. Schneider has coached football, wrestling, track and soccer. "Indian Hill students are just as competitive physically as they are academically Out of school Mr. Schneider reads, swims, builds model tanks, and watches &ls. "Girl-watching has always been a favorite."

."

Mr. Schneider's favorite historical fgures all seem to be colorful and strong willed. "I enjoy teaching my Civil War and Twentieth Century history classes the most. Just look at the personalities of the leaders during these periods." A discussion with Mr. Schneider on the topics of the Confederacy, Kennedy, New Orleans, Miami U., Napoleon, or any history related subject is sure to bring a smile and spark further interest in the topic.

ELP mixture of jazz, rock and classic by Rod Barr Emerson, Lake, and Palmer have been at the pinnacle of "classical rock" ever since their conception in 1969. Their unique blend of classical, rock, and jazz styles has produced a sound that

is distinctly ELP. The trio's newest album, Emerson, Lake, and Palmer in Concert, captures some of the electricity of a live performance while retaining the balance and

clarity of a studio album. The first song of the record, following the "Introductory Fanfare," is a fast, rock-like song called "Peter Gunn." The song in itself is repetitive and somewhat boring, but

Boot and Denim Shop opens in Madeira by ad ~avianr A touch of the West has hit Cincinnati with the opening of the Madeira Boot and Denim Shop. The shop features hats, leather boots, belts, jeans, and other western wear. Hats can be custom designed with an assortment of bands, feathers, hat shapes and colors. The manager of the store stresses that the hats are designed to the buyer's taste and "no two hats are alike." The store has a selection of over two hundred leather boots, ranging in price from $45 to $200. Boots can also be custom ordered, if the buyer desires. The western wear buyer can also find an assortment of belts, buckles, western-style shirts, down jackets, and even jeans. 'We s w a large need for wear in cincinnati," states the manager.

Greg Lake's beautiful "C'est La Vie" is an acoustic guitar piece supplemented by the huge orches tra that ELP had travelling with them for this concert tour. This tremendous orchestra then plays throughout the last two songs on the first side, which are "The Energy God" and "Knife Edge." The second side of the album contains only two "songs," and they happen to be the best two on the entire album. The first is Emerson's own composition "First Piano Concerto," in which Emerson displays his usual piano playing prowess and also displays his skill as a classical composer. The final song is ELP's excellent rendition of Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition." This piece has a powerful Russian feeling to it and it combines trio work with orchestrated work.

This year, for example, nine seniors and fourteen juniors were admitted to the National Honor Society two weeks ago in induction ceremonies. These twenty-three new inductees will join the 19 present senior members to form IH's forty-two-member NHS. In addition to IH's three National Merit Semi-Finalists (see issue 2). eleven National Merit commended students were also announced. These students scored in the top 5% of all the students that took the PSAT in the United States. IH students who received this award were Peter Bessen, John Cooney, Julii

Eberle, winifred-mg, Sally Hopple, Jennifer Macke, Leslie Megison, Natalie Nameroff, Edward Remmell, Greg Smith and Carol Thomas. The IH winner of the Century 111 Leader contest was Tracy Studerus. The Century 111leader5 program is a leadership develoIi;\ ment program sponsored by Shell Oil Corporation to "inspire Americass youth to bemme involved in community and social issues and to assume leadership roles."

'The Kids' are alright by Bob W e l d The Kids Are Alright, staning The Who, gives a detailed account of the history of one of rock and roll's greatest and most influential rock groups. The movie shows the changes in The Who's music, appearance, morality, and performance on stage throughout the years. This show can be enjoyed by anyone who enjoys hard rock music, not just avid Who fans. This is true, because you have to admire the group's exciting irnpact .on - stage, their ability, and

their stamina to remain one of the best liked groups for nearly fifteen years. Peter Townshend's ability as a song writer is surpae sed by few because his music is so energetic and powerful. Such music is rare these days with the arrival of the "bubble gum" rock bands such as Cheap mck, The Knack, and Kiss. Another interesting fact the movie shows is that Pete Townshend is a much better guitarist than people usually give him credit for. On state, The Who is renowned for two things: pounding out.the loudest music, and giving

IHers examine Anderson's mods by Doug Jones About seven IH students traveled to Anderson High School last Thursday on the student exchange. The exchange program, sponsored by Student Government, gives students the opportunity to see how other high schools operate during school hours. Each student is responsible to make up his assignments he misses. Anderson township feeds into two public high schools: Anderp n y d T'ypin. Turpin was built $

about five years &go to relieve Anderson's overcrowded building. Turpin holds approximately 1,200 students, while Anderson has 1,500 in grades 10-12. Because the district is split between two high schools, some teachers of less popular courses must teach at both schools during the day. Anderson has a modular schedule and follows a six period day from 7: 30-2: 00. Each "mod" is twenty-five minutes long and two modules form each class period. --

,

This system provides a staggered schedule and ensures that the halls are not crammed with students between each class. The school calendar consists of three twelve-week quarters and fewer classes last for the full year. Although the cafeteria lunch is similar to ours at IH, some students eat as early as 10:30 because of their class schedules. Anderson has other different features. It hosts an AFS pro-

An American Government teacher proudly announced that the Ayatollah Khomeini was ' Howard Hughes because of the , similarities in their pictures on the cover of Time magazine. The Anderson exchange provided an excellent opportunity for IH students to see how well a six period schedule works.

JV Braves to go for 2nd EHL win by Brad HeinThe JV Basketball Braves go against Glen Este tonight at 6:00 in their sixth game of the season. The team suffered a disappointing season opener November 22, losing to Mt. Healthy 53-39. The Braves played with hesitation in the first quarter, as the Owls scored nineteen straight points. Although the team played more agressively in the third quarter, they were never able to make up the difference, cutting Mt. Healthy's lead to only sixteen points. Although the JV Braves came out on the short end against Finneytown 50-46 November 24, the team played impressively, making up an eight point deficit in one minute. The Braves turned the game around in the fourth quarter, making effective use of the press. Hn one minute span, the Braves scored eleven points as Terry Healey and Dave Havelic intercepted passes for the Braves to set up the scores. . The JV Braves suffered their third defeat at the hands of Forest Park November 27, losing to the Chargers by a score of 49-32. The Indian Hill JV Braves scored their fnst victory and played their best basketball so far in the season, beating Mariemont 60-46 November 30 on the strength of Teny Healey's thirty points. The game was pretty evenly matched for the first three minutes until Indian Hill took charge. The Braves rallied and inundated the Warriors as they attained an eight point lead a t the end of the fnst quarter. The Braves, awesome in tha rebounding department, stretched their lead to 32-17 at the end of the second quarter, and 47-26 at the end of the third. The Braves suffered a 56-36 loss at Turpin.

all, squash by Greg Troutman With the current boom of racquetball and squash, may sporting clubs have built new courts for these games. Because clubs charge anywhere from $6.00 to $15.75 an hour to play, most IH players play at the YMCA. Mr. Tirey added racquetball to the gym curriculum because he feels that it is now so popular that students should have at least a working knowledge of the sport. When asked why he liked playing racquetball, Karl Mattes replied, "It's just a real fun sport! It has action and speed. . .it has everything!" Squash and racquetball are similar -both are played in similar courts with racquets - yet the court boundaries and the type of racquets are different. A racquetball racquet, for example, has a face a little smaller than that of a tennis racquet and is slightly shorter, while a squash racquet is longer, narrower, and is strung tighter. The balls used also differ; the racquetball ball is larger and made of rubber so it bounces, and the squash ball is smaller and does not bounce as much.

CHIEFTAIN

December 7,1979

The result is two different games requiring two different playing styles. Racquetball is more popular, however, probably because of its speed and excite-, ment. Both sports can be learned, quickly; and in a few hours o f , practicing, it is possible to be able to play a good game.

Student Opinion

IS too much emphasis placed on standardized' tests?

Nancy devotes time a n d energy to others

by Leslie Megison From virtually the very beginning of junior year, students are prodded to "start planning for college." Counselors then inform them of the standardized tests which must be taken to meet college entrance requirements: the ACT, Achievement Tests, and the all-important SAT. Most American colleges stress the scores on these tests as the major foundation of their admission requirements. Thus, for many students, the pressure is on.

Fear of scoring poorly on these tests has spawned special intensive study courses which are often expensive and debatably effective. The parents of students hoping to receive merit scholarships frequently dwell on the absolute necessity of high scores, escalating the student's anxiety about the tests. Many students simply cannot perform well under 'such pressure from parents and their own consciences, and they do not achieve scores representative of their full potential. The

editorial: Students need practical education Indian Hill High School has always produced achievers. Doctors, lawyers and businessmen are formed from IH ranks every year, and most are quite successful. Unfortunately, many who are financially successful are in reality failures. Alcoholism is a major problem; divorce is on the upswing; and more people are heading for the psycho-' logist's office. Although these problems occur more frequently among the lower classes, why do they even exist among the people who seem to "have everything?" In high school, teachers teach us to find cosines, spell correctly, test well on the SAT, and "B.S." on college applications. But what many students may need are courses entitled "Self-esteem I," "Values IV," or "Inner Peace ." One of the most beneficial courses taught at IH is the health class every student is required to take in tenth grade. Unfortunately, the course is only a quarter long. Physical Education is a course that helps ease frustration and build a healthier mind and body through physical activity. But many consider gym second place behind "real" classes. Psychology is another beneficial course that asks the student to stop and reflect upon his life. The Peer Counselor's program is an exciting idea designed to provide the emotional well-being of a student. The students, teachers, and administration must encourage these courses and programs to expand. Then, perhaps Indian Hill High School can claim that their students are physically and mentally healthy as well as intelligent.

lack of just three or four points can make the disappointing difference in making, or missing the cut-off requirement for scholarship consideration. The test's conditions provide the major drawback for most students. Certain sections on the tests, particularly the ACT and some Achievements, are not based on acquired knowledge of a certain subject, but on numerous reading passages, which must be read carefully in order to answer the questions. Often there are so many of these passages that it is extremely difficult for even the better-than-average reader to finish within the allotted time. Therefore, the potential of the student who simply scores under his ability is unfairly misepresented.

Granted, everyone has a bad day at some time or another. The testing services acknowledge this by allowing the student to take the tests as many times as he wishes. However, the tests can be so unnerving and mentally exhausting as to make the student hesitate to retake them. Understandably, colleges do need some common and discriminating base from which to proceed with admission selections. Nevertheless, heavy dependence upon one or two impersonal standardized tests is a mistake. A loss of the importance of the personal and individual elements can lead to college admission granted, not to unique, creative people, but to the human products of an assembly4ine educational system.

by Natalie Namesoff A peer counselor for two years, Nancy Seibert says, "I like the satisfaction of seeing someone not so depressed and figuring out his own problems." However peer counseling isn't her only way of helping people. Nancy often runs errands for teachers, helps other kids with homework and is just around when people need help. These usually unacknowledged characteristics didn't go unrewarded. When she received the "Humanitarian of the Year" Award, Nancy was "surprised! It didn't seem like I was doing too much, just things that I like to do." Other awards Nancy has received include 3 summer softball league trophies, 2 minor league softball trophies and several acknowledgements in photography. She enjoys capturing nature on film. Her graphic shot of a tree stump won her one trophy and three ribbons at the Hilltop Industrial Arts display at North College Hill. Nancy is planning to attend

Gary scores in

L

academics, a n d go by Dave Messinger Gary Freytag is a perfect example of a balance between an academically excellent student and a big jock. Actually, one could safely say he's a smart jock or an athletic brain. "A well-rounded student," said the "It's Academic" host about Gary. "I choked on my tongue," he explains about his reply, when the host asked Gary to tell a little about himself. Gary's reply was obviously prepared before the show, "I am a member of the National Honor Society," (long pause), "and vice-president of that." Gary made up for his stage fright with his excellent performance throughout the show, which led the IH team to merciless destruction of the other two school teams. The program wdl be aired in mid-February . Gary has been actively involved in three varsity sports; basketball for three years, golf for two years, and tennis for two. "I hope to be playing on a basketball team this spring, and so I might not have the time for tennis this year."

Gary loves everything about basketball-well, almost everything. "I really hate the referees; they just tick me off," he says. Acadmically, Gary has received many honors. He is a National Merit Semi-Finalist and vice-president of National Honor Society. Gary enjoys jokes and good-natured barbs. When asked about his choice for college he replied, "I've narrowed it down to eleven schools: Hmard, Duke, Yale, Stanford, Rice, Brown, Dartmouth, Princeton, Columbia, Pomona and U.C." With all of Gary's honors in school performance in the classroom and out on the sports scene, one would think that Gary's free time would be filled. Amazingly, he still manages to find time to work for the Chieftain under his self-proclaimed title, "editor-inchief of the floor -folding and stuffing." Gary Freytag is constantly making the best of two talents, physical academic prowess. excellence He and enjoys his his every minute of it, and still allows himself time to display his dynamic personality to many.

Juniors Jim Stucker and Matt Bahnfleth paced the team with double wins and, according to Senior Pierre Collet, show great promise for the upcoming season. Peirre also stated that "we just need to get in a little better shape and work on our mistakes, and then we'll be tough." Coach Marc Tirey also has great optimism in looking at the

In looking at the league he stated, "Sycamore will run away with the title but we'll be in there for the runner-up spot." On the schedule for the Braves this week is a match at Forest Park Saturday night as well as a quadrangular match at home next Saturday. The top teams in the EHL are entered in the quad match.

Aqua Braves win against LaSaIIe::;h;:;::kd:a,p, by Mike Blotter The 1980 Aqua Braves won every event except the 50 and 500 yard events as they won first meet against LaSalle Dec. 3. First place honors went to Jim Koster in the 200 yard Freestyle, Mike Ackerman in the 200 yard I.M., Mike Blotter in the 100 yard Butterfly, Ron Gaddis in the 100 yard Backstroke and Frederick Lyons in the 100 yard Breaststroke. Both relays also captured first place. After two years of rebuilding, the Indian Hill Aqua Braves are looking forward to an encour-

aging season. With six returning lettermen and two divers, the Aqua Braves have not only acquired some depth they have lacked in previous years, but also enough experience to carry them to state. Seniors Brad Evans, Don Hancock and Mike Blotter have returned along with junior Tim Gardner and sophomore Rob Gaddis and Frederick Lyon .. Brad, Don and Mike will take on the Freestyle jobs while Tim and Frederick lead the specialty men in the Breaststroke and I.M. Rob Gaddis will be head man in the Backstroke and Butterfly events, --

She went on to comment that "with a good attitude and additional swimmers, the season should be more encouraging and competitive than last year.

M a n y shocke at Coliseum disaster; T w o upcoming concerts canceled by Lori Davison Four days after the tragedy at Riverfront Coliseum, in which eleven people died, no one has accepted the responsibility of too few arena doors being opened, but two concerts scheduled for this month were canceled Tuesday. All persons questioned deny the blame for a stampede, which began about 45 minutes before a rock concert, killing eleven youths between ages fifteen and twenty-four. John Tafaro, coliseum publicity director, would not dis-

close how many doors were open, how many ticket-takers were working Monday night, or who was responsible for opening the doors. According to Ticketron officials, 90% of the tickets sold for the concert were for festival seating. Many have criticized these festival concerts because the first-come, first-serve seating caused people to pack at the doors hours before a concert begins. A study conducted in 1976 recommended that the festival seating be reduced, but the coliseum management

was given more time to reduce these events. Coliseum officials have not made any changes in Coliseum operating procedures, although the December 14 Blue Oyster Cult concert and the December 21 Aerosmith concert have been canceled indefinitely. Mayor Kenneth Blackwell has formed a task force to decide the long range planning for operations at Riverfront Coliseum. Blackwell also expects a full report from Safety Director Richard Castellini on Tuesday. Many IH students were in-

volved in the trample. "It was the worst experience I've ever had," says senior Perry Patton of the incident. "I saw this guy lying on the ground, and people just kept stepping on his face. I couldn't look." Three IHers were pushed into the Coliseum with "obviously fake" tickets. "The guy didn't even bother to check." Many students seemed to have changed their minds about festival seating. Says senior Mike Jordan, "If you fall, there's nothing you can do, so next time I'm sitting in the box!"

differences over Shah by Brad Heinbach The U.S. Embassy takeover by Iranian students in Teheran has affected students at Indian Hill in different ways, especially the Iranians. The two governments' actions over the crisis, such as Carter's crackdown on Iranian students whose visas have expired, have not affected the Iranian students at IH, directly. However, some report that the Americans have turned the other way in their treatment towards the Iranians and compain about the hck of sensitivity towards the crisis situation. Shahram Malek, an IH junior, says, "the takeover was the wrong way to get the Shah back." One unidentified IH Iranian student believes that "the Shah is a crimi-

nal and- was a bad ruler." Sheema Kamyabipour, a sophomore, blamed the Shah for everything that is happening now in Iran, and another Iranian student claimed, "the Shah killed over 100,000 people while he ruled." According to the Iranians, the national mood in Iran has changed in the past two years. One Lranian says, "The people of Iran were quiet and were afraid of the secret police." According to Shahram, "they became more vocal during the summer of 1978, when the idea of revolution started gaining popularity." Sheema believes that now "20% of the Iranians are educated and want a more democratic government, while and follow the rest Khomeini." are very religious '
