2-7 in EHL;

face Loveland next 6y Stuart Adarns In one of the team's finest showings of the season thus far, the Battling Braves came from behind to down the Sycamore Aviators 72-60 at Sycamore Friday night. The Braves got off to a slow start and at one point fell behind 14-2 in the first quarter. The Braves were stymied by an effective full court press the Aviators opened with. In the second quarter, however, the tide started to turn as Gary Freytag began to dominate the offensive boards. By this point, both teams had moved from man-to-man to zone defenses. The Braves were able to penetrate the Aviators' zone and close the scoring gap to 3 with 3:30 left in the first'half. The Aviators reverted to their fullcourt press and increased their lead to 9 at the half, 35-26. The Braves came into the second half fired up, resulting in a closing of the gap to six at the

end of the third quarter, 42-48. In the fourth, the Braves were unstoppable as Sycamore fell victim to their own costly mistakes. One of these was a technical foul called for shooting a basket after play was dead. The Braves tied them at 53 and eventually went ahead to stay. The Braves outscored Sycamore 30-12 in the final quarter, provided by stable play engineered at guard by Tom Glaser and Ken Miller. Miller led the IH scoring attack with'l6. Freytag had 15, and both Mark Gottschalk and Wad Morgan had 11. Chuck Parker of Sycamore led all scorers with 19, while teammate Greg Cantwell'adhed 11 to his team's effort. The Braves put forth a real team effort in this win, reflected by their putting four players in double figures scoring. The bench added much needed support, Bob Ulmer and Todd Benadum having good nights.

Brave grapplers place third in by Stuart Adarns The grappling Braves placed third behind Loveland and a strong Sycamore team in a quadrangular match here at Indian Hill last Friday the 15th. Sycamore ran away with the match; Loveland finished a distant second. Pins were recorded for the Braves by Don Pappas, Dave Jones, and Chris McDaniels. According to senior Ken Berry, "We're disappointed with our performance so far. We're really going to work hard to live up to our potential." A week earlier on the eighth, the Braves lost to a tough Forest Park squad. Forest Park is one of the top teams in the city, so the Braves got some good experience. Don Pappas and Glen Stucker picked up pins in that outing. The Braves face one of the toughest tests of the season this Friday and Saturday, December 21 and 22, when they compete in the U.C. Invitational. The

The Second Annual Student Council-sponsored Elf Auction once again succeeded. The auction was started last year to raise money for the Free Store. Gina Dubell and Tricia Jones ran the auction and were pleased t o announce that they had been pledged $702. Tricia said that over $100 had not materialized into cash yet, and that elves who had not been paid for yet would become "halfelves." "Halfelves" only perform "halfduties." According t o Tricia, half-elves are only required t o carry their masters' books halfway to class. So. as Tricia says, "If you pledged, pay up!"

psych factors considered in 'Who' deaths by Bob Kindel The psychological state of mind of the Who crowd could have played a major role in the deaths of eleven youths at the Coliseum. Three weeks have passed since the tragic evening and nothing has been concluded nor do few officials wish to say anything 0

as of yet. It appears that too few doors were open to accomodate the large crowd, and that they were open too late, with too little control. Yet, under these conditions, the question is still raised about how eleven people could have been trampled to death. "When a crowd gets together, the majority lose their sense of identity, because they become so wrapped up in what they are doing," reported Dr. Wester, a local psychologist. He also pointed out that "we live in a society where there is a lot of anxiety and when people have the chance to let down their hair, they do." Dr. Wester believed "this state of mind was present before the concert. Along the same line, he felt that we are dealing with a situation where people get out to an affair with few rules or restric-

tions, and they tended to want to be freer and less inhibited." Rod Barr, an Indian Hill sophomore who attended the concert, felt that the concert was "Just like a normal concert, except there were so many people." Rod also felt that "the crowd was less inhibited and more free." Recently, a lawsuit was filed against the Who. Dr. Wester did not see "their immediate responsibility." Rod Bur agreed that the Who cannot be blamed but rather the organizers and the crowd were at fault. "If there had been more doors opened earlier, with the proper amount of ushers and security to control the large crowd, none of this would have happened," cited Barr. Dr. Wester believed that, "More rules and regulations would have kept down the hyster-

cal factor of the crowd and eliminated the risks." In looking back on the tragedy, the question of why no one helped those in need is being raised. According to Dr. Wester, there is a phenomenon called "bystander intervention," which points out that if someone is being injured, the greater the amount of people, the less likely anyone will do anything t o help. "Not to say that no one tried to help, yet I feel this phenomenon was at work," added Dr. Wester. Both Rod Barr and Dr. Wester felt that the people who died were knowingly trampled by others, but only because they were forced by the crowd from behind. Rod Barr recalled that "You either reach down t o help someone and run the risk of being trampled yourself, or you walk right over them."

student Opinion:

Traditionally, the "Holiday Season" brings a "spirit of giving" into life. In school, we try to fulfill this spirit with such money-raising acitivities as the "Elf Auction." Auction was designed to raise Originally, the money for needy organizations while providing entertainment for donors. The Auction certainly isn't "a negative activity;" it definitely promotes a good cause . The problem with the Elf Auction and other programs like it involves the fulfillment of this "spirit of giving-" Do donors really experience "giving" providing the highest bid for an elf? One of the best-known stories of the Holiday Season is Dicken's "A Christmas Carol." Through his character of Scrooge, Dickens tries t o analyze this "spirit of giving." In the end, Scrooge doesn't reform his "Bah-humbug attitude" by merely sending Tiny Tim a toy or a pennv. Instead. he allows Tinv Tim to enjoy Christmas with his father. In the end, Scrooge has really experienced a "spirit of giving." HOW can students share this same experience? Volunteer organizations provide one solution. Local groups-like Camp Stepping Stones, the local hospitals and local nursing homes-are always seeking volunteers. each of Obviously' the opportunity existsus should re-examine the "giving experience." In any event, it's almost time to write New Year's Resolutions for 3980.

Greg hates the confinements of the indoors, and participates in . many outdoor activities such as crosscountry skiing, backpacking, bicycling, and archery. His outdoor interests are also reflected in the work he does for Chieftain, where he is "outdoor sports" columnist, and also does sketches of the outdoors. Greg worked at Bob Evans and ran a summer sports program for kids this past summer. Greg also spent part of last summer in New Mexico in a leadership and discovery program.

Student Opinion: Students need a classical cafeteria by Peter Hug For four hundred years, the various forms of classical music were all that were composed, played, and listened to. As a result, the great majority of the music that has been composed is classical music. For this reason, I think that there should be at least some classical music played in the lunchroom. With the subject of music in the halls coming up, the problem is becoming more and more urgently in need of a solution every day. It would provide those people with an appreciation of classical music a welcome break from the ennui , and lack of satisfaction that is

the result of a conthual bombardment by modern music. This concession by those who are attached to modern music would not be great, only a few days a month, but the results would be fantastically rewarding; those people who like classical musis would, for once, be satisfied musically; those who cannot tolerate classical music can take comfort from the fact that those who cannot tolerate classical music have survived thus far; and those who are indifferent to the subject can listen to some different music. The net effect would be beneficial for all those involved.

What a beautiful New Yorker by Dave Schonberg "I didn't like IH when I first came in ninth grade because everybody made fun of my New York accent, but I made an effort to get to know d o t of people, and-I'm really glad I did." Lisa Oths has always been outgoing in any situation. It is probably because of her many diverse talents and interests that Lisa has so many friends in so many places. Lisa lived in Larchmont, New York until age 14. "The kids were so much different there. They were d o t tougher, and they grew up more quickly. At Indian Hill, people are alot more relaxed and easy to get along with." Lisa is involved with many activities in school. She is currently vice-president for orchestra in which she has played viola for four years. Lisa is president of the senior class and co-president of the activities committee in Student Government. Both these activities take up a lot of time but she feels are self rewarding. Besides all these activities Lisa is currently working on creating a Pep Club at IH. "It would be a club to get kids active in assemblies, to learn the school cheers, and make posters, all to get the school spirit even higher. It's a

Out of school, Lisa enjoys a variety of hobbies and interests, such playing the violin, playing raquetball and backgammon, listening to music, rug hooking, sailing, canoeing, going to the Symphony, and talking on the phone. Lisa feels that teacher-student relations should be stressed at IH. "I think many students don't believe that teachers are human, if you know what I mean.

own solution. To better explain Reality Therapy, Mr. Aug compared it to Freudian psychology. "Freudian psychology puts emphasis on past actions, but Reality Therapy concentrates on the present and the future." In other words, Freudian psychology might say that some is the way he is because something happened to him in his childhood that forced him to be that way. But, reality therapy accepts this problem, analyzes it, and makes a plan for the future. Teachers had their first instruction in Reality Therapy on

October 16. This workshop dealt mostly with the theory of Reality Therapy, and was held by employees of Dr. Will Glasser, a specialist in Reality Therapy. Tomorrow's lecture, headed by Dr. Robert Wubbolding, a reality specialist at Xavier University, will concentrate on the practical application of Reality Therapy by using role-playing. Some teachers have applied their newly acquired knowledge of Reality Therapy with behavioral plans for student discipline. Tomorrow, they will learn more techniques that they may soon apply to students.

The Senior Lounge was founded in 1970. Then, as now, it was combined with the Faculty Lounge. The only difference is that then, in 1970, seniors could use the lounge at the same time as the teachers, whereas now there are specified times for the seniors and faculty separately. The students of Indian Hill came into conflict with the dress code in 1970. The problem began when a student was suspended for wearing his hair too long. He approached the Board and tried to amend the dress code by giving the responsibility of appropriate attire to the parents and students.

by Rod Barr Kenny Loggins has never been a musical trend3etter. His flowing melodies and smooth voice have endeared him to many mellow music lovers, but he has never really ventured beyond the stereotypes his fans have placed on him. Keep the Fire, Loggins' newest release, unfortunately follows this tradition. Almost every song on the album has a prototype from the past, and can be easily recognized as such. The tune "Mr. Night" tries desperately to recapture the flavor and vitality of "Your Mama Don't Dancew-the only difference between the two is the lyrics. " Junkanoo Holiday," with its Calypso-rhythms, is a good song but it sounds too

similar to "Vakevala." Another song which has a definite model is "This Is It," a tune co-written by Mike McDonald (of the Doobie Brothers) and Loggins. This song is identical to the Doobie Brothers' "How Do The Fools Survive?" in many ways. The cuts "Give It Half a Chance," and "Will It Last" contain every possible steretype that can be placed upon Loggins--a semi-slow rhythm, mellow vocals, mixed acoustic and electric guitar work, and an overall flowing sound. These two songs are, as all of the others on the album, really nice songs. But, a musician with as much talent as Loggins, should attempt to diversify his music just a bit, so it does not run the risk of becoming too repetitive.

JV Braves lose to Aves 68-58 by Brad Heinbach The IH JV Basketball Braves lost to the Sycamore Aviators 68-58 last Friday night.

Indian Hill men immediately cut the lead to seven in the third quarter on field goals by Dave Havlovic and Chris Gruber. But the Aves moved back out ahead into a 13 point lead in the last quarter.

own solution. To better explain Reality Therapy, Mr. Aug compared it to Freudian psychology. "Freudian psychology puts emphasis on past actions, but Reality Therapy concentrates on the present and the future." In other words, Freudian psychology might say that some is the way he is because something happened to him in his childhood that forced him to be that way. But, reality therapy accepts this problem, analyzes it, and makes a plan for the future. Teachers had their first instruction in Reality Therapy on

October 16. This workshop dealt mostly with the theory of Reality Therapy, and was held by employees of Dr. Will Glasser, a specialist in Reality Therapy. Tomorrow's lecture, headed by Dr. Robert Wubbolding, a reality specialist at Xavier University, will concentrate on the practical application of Reality Therapy by using role-playing. Some teachers have applied their newly acquired knowledge of Reality Therapy with behavioral plans for student discipline. Tomorrow, they will learn more techniques that they may soon apply to students.

student Opinion:

Traditionally, the "Holiday Season" brings a "spirit of giving" into life. In school, we try to fulfill this spirit with such money-raising acitivities as the "Elf Auction." Auction was designed to raise Originally, the money for needy organizations while providing entertainment for donors. The Auction certainly isn't "a negative activity;" it definitely promotes a good cause . The problem with the Elf Auction and other programs like it involves the fulfillment of this "spirit of giving-" Do donors really experience "giving" providing the highest bid for an elf? One of the best-known stories of the Holiday Season is Dicken's "A Christmas Carol." Through his character of Scrooge, Dickens tries t o analyze this "spirit of giving." In the end, Scrooge doesn't reform his "Bah-humbug attitude" by merely sending Tiny Tim a toy or a pennv. Instead. he allows Tinv Tim to enjoy Christmas with his father. In the end, Scrooge has really experienced a "spirit of giving." HOW can students share this same experience? Volunteer organizations provide one solution. Local groups-like Camp Stepping Stones, the local hospitals and local nursing homes-are always seeking volunteers. each of Obviously' the opportunity existsus should re-examine the "giving experience." In any event, it's almost time to write New Year's Resolutions for 3980.

Student Opinion: Students need a classical cafeteria by Peter Hug For four hundred years, the various forms of classical music were all that were composed, played, and listened to. As a result, the great majority of the music that has been composed is classical music. For this reason, I think that there should be at least some classical music played in the lunchroom. With the subject of music in the halls coming up, the problem is becoming more and more urgently in need of a solution every day. It would provide those people with an appreciation of classical music a welcome break from the ennui , and lack of satisfaction that is

the result of a conthual bombardment by modern music. This concession by those who are attached to modern music would not be great, only a few days a month, but the results would be fantastically rewarding; those people who like classical musis would, for once, be satisfied musically; those who cannot tolerate classical music can take comfort from the fact that those who cannot tolerate classical music have survived thus far; and those who are indifferent to the subject can listen to some different music. The net effect would be beneficial for all those involved.

What a beautiful New Yorker by Dave Schonberg "I didn't like IH when I first came in ninth grade because everybody made fun of my New York accent, but I made an effort to get to know d o t of people, and-I'm really glad I did." Lisa Oths has always been outgoing in any situation. It is probably because of her many diverse talents and interests that Lisa has so many friends in so many places. Lisa lived in Larchmont, New York until age 14. "The kids were so much different there. They were d o t tougher, and they grew up more quickly. At Indian Hill, people are alot more relaxed and easy to get along with." Lisa is involved with many activities in school. She is currently vice-president for orchestra in which she has played viola for four years. Lisa is president of the senior class and co-president of the activities committee in Student Government. Both these activities take up a lot of time but she feels are self rewarding. Besides all these activities Lisa is currently working on creating a Pep Club at IH. "It would be a club to get kids active in assemblies, to learn the school cheers, and make posters, all to get the school spirit even higher. It's a

Out of school, Lisa enjoys a variety of hobbies and interests, such playing the violin, playing raquetball and backgammon, listening to music, rug hooking, sailing, canoeing, going to the Symphony, and talking on the phone. Lisa feels that teacher-student relations should be stressed at IH. "I think many students don't believe that teachers are human, if you know what I mean.

Christmas Special

2-7 in EHL;

face Loveland next 6y Stuart Adarns In one of the team's finest showings of the season thus far, the Battling Braves came from behind to down the Sycamore Aviators 72-60 at Sycamore Friday night. The Braves got off to a slow start and at one point fell behind 14-2 in the first quarter. The Braves were stymied by an effective full court press the Aviators opened with. In the second quarter, however, the tide started to turn as Gary Freytag began to dominate the offensive boards. By this point, both teams had moved from man-to-man to zone defenses. The Braves were able to penetrate the Aviators' zone and close the scoring gap to 3 with 3:30 left in the first'half. The Aviators reverted to their fullcourt press and increased their lead to 9 at the half, 35-26. The Braves came into the second half fired up, resulting in a closing of the gap to six at the

end of the third quarter, 42-48. In the fourth, the Braves were unstoppable as Sycamore fell victim to their own costly mistakes. One of these was a technical foul called for shooting a basket after play was dead. The Braves tied them at 53 and eventually went ahead to stay. The Braves outscored Sycamore 30-12 in the final quarter, provided by stable play engineered at guard by Tom Glaser and Ken Miller. Miller led the IH scoring attack with'l6. Freytag had 15, and both Mark Gottschalk and Wad Morgan had 11. Chuck Parker of Sycamore led all scorers with 19, while teammate Greg Cantwell'adhed 11 to his team's effort. The Braves put forth a real team effort in this win, reflected by their putting four players in double figures scoring. The bench added much needed support, Bob Ulmer and Todd Benadum having good nights.

Brave grapplers place third in by Stuart Adarns The grappling Braves placed third behind Loveland and a strong Sycamore team in a quadrangular match here at Indian Hill last Friday the 15th. Sycamore ran away with the match; Loveland finished a distant second. Pins were recorded for the Braves by Don Pappas, Dave Jones, and Chris McDaniels. According to senior Ken Berry, "We're disappointed with our performance so far. We're really going to work hard to live up to our potential." A week earlier on the eighth, the Braves lost to a tough Forest Park squad. Forest Park is one of the top teams in the city, so the Braves got some good experience. Don Pappas and Glen Stucker picked up pins in that outing. The Braves face one of the toughest tests of the season this Friday and Saturday, December 21 and 22, when they compete in the U.C.

Tricia said that over $100 had not materialized into cash yet, and that elves who had not been paid for yet would become "halfelves." "Halfelves" only perform "halfduties." According t o Tricia, half-elves are only required t o carry their masters' books halfway to class. So. as Tricia says, "If you pledged, pay up!"

psych factors considered in 'Who' deaths by Bob Kindel The psychological state of mind of the Who crowd could have played a major role in the deaths of eleven youths at the Coliseum. Three weeks have passed since the tragic evening and nothing has been concluded nor do few officials wish to say anything 0

as of yet. It appears that too few doors were open to accomodate the large crowd, and that they were open too late, with too little control. Yet, under these conditions, the question is still raised about how eleven people could have been trampled to death. "When a crowd gets together, the majority lose their sense of identity, because they become so wrapped up in what they are doing," reported Dr. Wester, a local psychologist. He also pointed out that "we live in a society where there is a lot of anxiety and when people have the chance to let down their hair, they do." Dr. Wester believed "this state of mind was present before the concert. Along the same line, he felt that we are dealing with a situation where people get out to an affair with few rules or restric-

tions, and they tended to want to be freer and less inhibited." Rod Barr, an Indian Hill sophomore who attended the concert, felt that the concert was "Just like a normal concert, except there were so many people." Rod also felt that "the crowd was less inhibited and more free." Recently, a lawsuit was filed against the Who. Dr. Wester did not see "their immediate responsibility." Rod Bur agreed that the Who cannot be blamed but rather the organizers and the crowd were at fault. "If there had been more doors opened earlier, with the proper amount of ushers and security to control the large crowd, none of this would have happened," cited Barr. Dr. Wester believed that, "More rules and regulations would have kept down the hyster-

cal factor of the crowd and eliminated the risks." In looking back on the tragedy, the question of why no one helped those in need is being raised. According to Dr. Wester, there is a phenomenon called "bystander intervention," which points out that if someone is being injured, the greater the amount of people, the less likely anyone will do anything t o help. "Not to say that no one tried to help, yet I feel this phenomenon was at work," added Dr. Wester. Both Rod Barr and Dr. Wester felt that the people who died were knowingly trampled by others, but only because they were forced by the crowd from behind. Rod Barr recalled that "You either reach down t o help someone and run the risk of being trampled yourself, or you walk right over them."
