Chieftain - Indian Hill High School - Cincinnati, Ohio 45243

Curriculum Fair by John Lilly Indian Hill underclassmen were given an opportunity Wednesday to obtain information on classes for the 1981-82 school year at the fxst annual Curriculum Fair. The fair precedes the actual class choices, due on February 13. The Curriculum Fair, held in the cafeteria Wednesday morning, was an effort on the part of the IH faculty to inform unde~classmen of the subject matter and format of any class they might which t o take. Linda Coppins, an Indian Hill guidance counselor, explained her outlook on the fair. "Its purpose is to provide the students with information regarding the courses So they will not be surprised next year." She added, "I think it is a good idea if it is used well," Thomas Aug, assistant principal, agreed with Coppins. ''I

think the students should take the scheduling process seriously. We're having the fair to clear up any problems they might have." At the fair, teachers, representing each department, answered questions put to them by 8th through 11th grade students in attendance. Among the attractions were the math department's Apple I1 computer, a slide show, and free sweet rolls. Most people who attended the fair agreed that it was worthwhile and a success. Aug described the event as "excellent." "I see no reason not to repeat it next year." He added jokingly, "I've had a few complaints about the rolls, but the price is right." IH student, Chris Schmalz, said of the event, "It is worth while t o those who use it." Both Aug and Coppins agreed

The Indian Hill M.U.N. members plan to represent the United ~Republic of Tanzania and the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen. Chad Christine reported that "we have been researching our countries and preparing our platforms for nearly a month." Mr. John Nellis, the M.U.N.

club adviser, feels ''this is the best prepared group we've ever taken." Bob Kindel went further t o add that "we know parliamentary procedure really well along with having a strong understanding of world issues." Recently, M.U.N. members met with Father Salvatore, a Tanzanian priest. "This was an extremely informative meeting considering we are representing Tanzania at NAIMUN," relayed Charles Wood, a member of the Tanzanian delegation. Bob Kindel pointed out also that "Father Salvatore gave us Third World insight into many African problems." One of the more shocking problems that Father Salvatore cited was the existence of an annual yearly income per capita circa $220 in Tanzania.

Today, the average IH student does not actively involve himself in the educational process. Either student apathy, poor teaching attitude or a weak administrative foundation or a combination of these cultivates a nearly indifferent attitude, and we must confront and correct this problem. Surely, part of this dilemma can be attributed to the malcontent of the '60's. but that was a time of active involvement and concern. Instead of the pacifists of the '60's we have the passivists of the Most IH students, while they often complain about classes, never seem t o have the concern or initiative to pursue the problem and work for a solution. And when, perhaps, a student is outraged by a teacher or class, his peers rush t o appease his rash and disturbing behavior, leaving the student in greater frustration. Some students may believe that their classes have no faults or that they are just not able t o judge a teacher or a course. But actually, the students are the only evaluators who can accurately weigh a class's strengths and weaknesses, and all classes need some improvement. While the average student's lack of concern about his education contributes t o the overall problem, teachers' failure t o encourage constructive criticism certainly discourage from the students. - suggestions -some teachers do distribute for student criticism, the majority do not. Some educators even teach destructively - students learn more than just the subject matter; they learn the teacher's attitude t o ~ a r d the s subject. For example, how can an unenthusiastic teachers expect his students t o like his educator must be careful how he presents subject? and maintains his class. Finally, the administration does not support student involvement in educational improvement .*-'If a student wants to suggest a change in a class or tekher, he has no vehicle through which t o improve the class situation except by conferring with the teacher, which is sometimes impossible. While the Guidance Department can offer aid here, often the student is overwhelmed by the complicated, and often ineffective,- process. Thus, greater student appreciation of his education is only possible through the support of the student body, the teachers, and the administration; and without some improvement, indifference may evolve into hostilitv and hatred. *

SG organizes Pep Week As you all must know by now, tomorrow is the date for the 1981 Winter Homecoming Dance. Hopefully this past "Pep Week" has been helpful in restoring some badly needed school spirit. Many thanks to those punkers and cowboys who finally got a chance to display their fashions, which were a welcome change from the crewneck sweaters and buttondown shirts that are all too common during the winter at Indian Hill. The traditional procession of and dates for King- and Queen will take place tonight between the reserve and varsity basketball games (approximately 8:00 p.m.). Then, the Battling Braves will continue their quest for the EHL crown, taking on the Loveland Tigers. Later in February will come a project that may be a revelation to some students - a computer dating service. Freshman Tom

Warfel is busy developing the program to be used, and it should be ready by approximately February 21. Each student will have the opportunity to describe his own traits and then program his own tastes and preferences, and the conlputer will come up with possible choices. Hopefully, this project will also be successful in helping to liven up the dull winter months here at IH. The concert presented by Powerplay on January 28 was a definite success, and the band was accepted very well. The proceeds from the forum will go to Indian Hill's Tech Crew, which is badly in need of new equipment prior to Pow-Wow. As you can see, Student Government is doing its part to breathe life into Indian Hill during its slowest months. Sandy Geier SG Vice-President

student opinion

S tu d e nts m ust mo i nto in AAA p ride by Fred Goosman Even though the administration has boasted of better pride in our school, the pride doesn't seem to show in their actions. In student enrollment, IH is Triple A now, but only four people above the Double A level. None the less, the lack of participation in Sports is pathetic. Not for the socalled "glamour" sports like football, basketball, or baseball, but for the 'lesser" sports like

alphabetize Dave by Rick Ruskin Dave Wiech may be known for his activities on the basketball court, but his actions differ greatly from the average player. Dave, as one of the directors of the Pep Band, does his best to arouse the spirit at every Braves' basketball game. "The school spirit is still lacking," Dave said, "Only ten percent of the school, at most, has any enthusiasm toward basketball and football." But he feels that the Pep Band has contributed a lot to the increasing spirit. Pep Band is just one of the many bands in which Dave plays. Others range from Concert Band, where Dave is first seat, to Orchestra, to the famed Charteroak Stationary Marching Concert Band. His favorite band, though, if Jazz Ensemble. "It's the only time that we get to play real music (the good stuff)." Dave relayed that he spends "three nights a week at least" playing or prac-

ticing for some band. "Some-, times it has been as many as five I or six days in one week." I All of this dedication can be based on his single statement; "I guess I just like it." Yes, Indian Hill, there is another side to Dave Wiech outside of the band room doors. When he is not playing the trumpet, Dave often works at the Blue Ash YMCA. For two summers he worked as a day camp counselor and during the year he often works in programs with kids, ages 6 to 1 2 Like so many other seniors, Dave spend a lot of time planning what he will do after high school. "I'd like to go on vacation," he relayed, "but I'll probably go t o Notre Dame, major in engineering, play in the band, and go to bowl games." Dave has always been a devoted Notre Dame fan, because he was brought up under "the ND influence" of his father and grandfather, who both went

swimming or wrestling. All are varsity sports with thr same awards and comraderv involved. Recently in a wrestling match, IH won eight out of ten weight classes, but still lost because of having to forfeit five other classes, caused by lack of personnel. If events like this continue to happen, IH cannot be competitive, even on the Double A level, or boast of having pride.

has those down home qualities. and even a small sense of hum&. "I don't play any sports, so I don't hurt my lips. I have no favorite food; you name it, I eat it (except for Chinese food), and I am sure looking forward t o the day when they hand me my diploma. "

Maria practices her dancing technique for Pow-Wow '81.

by David Johnson Never mind about finally becoming a senior and being o n top of the Hill, Maria Fair is more worried about catching the wretch that pilfered her wallet. Convinced that "all my memories are/wiLl be good," Maria remains one of IH's most easygoing seniors. An avid dancer, Maria has been perfecting her art since kindergarten, and has performed several solo pieces since that time; her early career as a dancer involved "recitals all the time" and exposed her to many different characters of dance, most notably a "rockette." In her years at IH, Maria has become most interested in jazz dancing, appearing as a member of the Precision Chorus in Pow-Wow 79-80 and performing a ballet number in Pow-Wow '79 as a sophomore. She will also be dancing in the Precision Charus in the upcamim Broadway on Life (Pow-Wow '81). Maria has always m e d "putting together outfits for other people," and with this in mind,

has decided t o pursue a career in fashion merchandising/clothing and textiles at Ohio State University next fall. Keeping pace with her career in clothing, Maria will be participating in an upcoming fashion show at Pogue's, where she will be modeling styles of the "Roaring Twenties." A love for travelling and "going to new places" also makes up a big part of Maria's life. wsiting Michigan, Wisconsin, New York, South Carolina, Florida, and Kentucky, she hopes to visit the British Isles and Hawaii in the near future. In the nearer future, she "can't wait" until Spring Break and a trip to Ft. Lauderdale. Enjoying IHers in every walk of life, Maria continues t o accumulate many fond memories of her years at Indian Hill. "Something crazy hapl?ens to me every day," Maria explained. By the way, her stolen wallet also contained her collection of senior pictures; judging from Maria's attitude toward IH life, however, this supply will soon be replenished.

'This way, students will know what they're getting into," Coppins said. The class choices that students have decided upon will be due next Friday. Among the changes, juniors and seniors next year face

changes in their physical education requirements. Rather than taking a quarter of PE both years, students now take a semester of gym junior year and none senior year. English requirements are also being changed. In both junior and senior years, students now will take a full year English course, chosen on the basis of a fourth quarter elective.

Aug also stated that the variety in the fourth quarter of the English will not be comparable to that of the electives previously offered. This he attributed to declining enrollment. Other curriculum changes include the addition of the following courses: consumer math

(budgeting, etc.), Camputer Programming 11, AP German, Latin 111, honors French, and humanities (a combination of English, art, social studies, and music). The actual arena scheduling process, according t o Aug, will remain the same format as last year's Aug stated that, above all, he wants the students t o schedule responsibly.

by Ed Piotrowski By the middle of next week, Student Government plans to initiate the new computer dating program in an attempt to liven up the winter season. "Desperate and dateless" students will have the opportunity to be matched with compatible mates. The process, developed by Tom Warfel, fust requires interested students to f i i out a questionnaire. f i e information that the participaters provide in the questionnaire is then programmed into the Great Oaks computer. After this initial work has been done, the computer will begin evaluating each name based on the person's interests. At the conclusion of the computer's work, the computer will match up two or three names t o one person. Student Government will take over from this point by informing those involved in the program of the people matched t o them. Tom Warfel, the computer

dating

programmer, commented that, "the only problem that could happen is an imbalance of people." Although it will cost each person to put his name in the computer, all the proceeds will go to covering the program's various expenses and to a charity, the Heart Foundation. Kama Brockman, the project's coordinator, expects ' t o make around two to three hundred dollars."

NewShort In order to promote an air of scholarly sophistication at Indian Hill, the Latin I class is working on the development of a Latin motto for the high school. The proposed motto, Florearnus in amicitia et scientia, meaning "May we flourish in friendship and knowledge," was written through suggestions from the class by Keith Rabenold. It will be presented to the administration for a hopeful approval.

Still, many IH'ers believe that any student, regardless of minority status, can be readily accepted by his peers if he makes the attempt. The general belief seems to be that if certain groups of people appear to be segregated, it is because they choose to stick with their own kind. Senior Kristi Dinsmore suggested that some people do tend to pick their friends on the basis of race, but only because those are the people they feel most comfortable with, and that, more often, students group themselves by type, not race.

egin.s second winning streak by Chrischmalz The "Choosey" Braves, now into their "second winning streak," beat the host Madeira Mustangs, 4740, Friday, January 30. Both the Braves and the Mustangs were extremely careless Throughout the first quarter both squads committed numerous turnovers. At 1:12 in the first quarter, Jeff Smith attempted to draw a foul. With two feel firmly planted, he was bowled over by a Mustang. The foul having been called on Smith, Coach West began arguing and was issued a technical. The Braves built an early lead, but Madeira came back and pulled ahead 13-11 at the close of the quarter. The Braves battled back, with the help of Dave Davis, who scored 15 points, in the second quarter and slowly pulled ahead, opening their lead to 28-22 at the half. Madeira stayed with the Braves throughout the third quarter, and, as a result, IH could not open up their lead. The Braves followed the advice of Coach West and Jiff peanut butter in the fourth quarter as they became "choosey" about where and when they shot. As their lead spread, the Mustang victory chances dissipated. The Braves held off a Madeira comeback to win, 4740. The victory improved their record to 6-4 in the league and 10-5 overall.

The Indians jumped to an overpowering 12-2 lead early in the first quarter as the Braves could not get their play together. The Braves then battled back to cut the ten point lead in half, bringing the first quarter score to 16-9, Norwood. The Braves slowly chipped away at the Indians' lead but could not put together any strong spurts as they traiied, 24-18, at the half. "This is the best coaching job Coach West has done so far," said Kris Ashing. The Braves began to improve their play but still did not take the lead as Norwood stayed ahead, 30-26, at the close of the third quarter. Jim Arnold was a definite fourth quarter factor as he sparkled, scoring many of his 15 points in the remaining quarter. With 1 5 0 left, Arnold scored, tying the game at 37 all. The score then shifted back and forth as Norwood would score, and the Braves would come back to tie it. Dave Havlovic tied the score, 41-41, by hitting a key basket and drawing a foul with twelve seconds left. Havlovic then hit both freethrows, putting the Braves up, 4341.

Besides his scoring explosion, Arnold was all over the court making many steals and drawing fouls as well. But the Braves' foul trouble continued to halt their success as they barely stayed ahead, 31-28, at the half. The Braves' marginal first half lead was cut to one during the third quarter as they could not get their play together due t o foul trouble. Jim Arnold opened the final quarter with two quick baskets, putting the Braves up, 4742. But Deer Park battled back and took a 5047 lead when Dave Davis fouled out at 4 ~ 2 0 . The Wildcats kept their lead until the buzzer, giving the Braves their fourth league loss. "Our offense was going, but our defense was slow," explained Jim Arnold. Arnold, Jay Kohls, Chuck Westhc and Jim Morgan all had four fouls, which considerably slackened the Braves' play.

eliminate Frosh in semis by Ted Miller "It was one of those days; everything went wrong." That's how Bob Rhoad described- the Freshman Braves' 62-27 embarrassing loss to the Sycamore Aviators in the EHL Tournament Wednesday, February 4. The loss eliminated the Frosh in the semi-finals of the tournament. Sycamore dominated the Baby Braves inside as IH was never in the game. A Braves fan attending the game said that "the turning point in the game was when the Braves lost the opening tip-off." The squad finished with a 7-9 overall record. The Baby Braves prevailed over Glen Este, 35-27, in the EHL Freshman Tournament Saturday, January 31. The upset enabled the Frosh to advance into the semi-finals to play first place Sycamore. Sycamore handed the Braves a landsliding 44-27 defeat Thursday, January 29. Earlier that week, the Frosh were scalped by the Madeira Mustangs, 38-20, Tuesday, January 27.

J,V Squaws bounce Loveland again The JV Basketball Squaws trounced Loveland, 25-15, for their second victory over the Tigers this season Tuesday, February 3. Zone defences by both teams kept scoring to a minimum as the first' quarter ended with Loveland on top, 2-1. The game opened up in the second quarter as the teams traded buckets. A Tiger base-line buzzer shot pulled Loveland to within one, 10-9, at the end of the half. After the Tigers had gone up

by two, 12-10, the Squaws rattled off six straight to end the third quarter at 16-12. IH put the game away in the final quarter with the help of Karen Kreis' four points and Holly Rodes' three. Although Rodes sank 14 points, the Squaws were shutdown by the Madeira Amazons, 31-27, Thursday, January 29. The JV squad fell short to Deer Park, 23-21, Thursday January 22. Rodes led Squaws' scoring with six.

disc review

Jam's latest lacks previous album's intensity by Dwight Poffenberger The Varsity Battling Braves hope t o improve their league record as they face the Loveland Tigers tonight in IH's homecoming game.

Braves hold off Mustangs The Braves, who are known for their spurt here, spurt there, and in between nothing play, almost allowed Madeira t o come from behind and win Friday, January 30, at Madeira. Thanks t o efforts by Ward Morgan and Terry Healey, who combined for the Braves' only fourth quarter points, IH held on to win, 61-59, and bring their league record to 9-1, keeping the Braves tied for first with Milford. In a first quarter which saw both teams in a man t o man defense, the Braves jumped out t o an early 14-10 lead, but got in early foul trouble. Senior center Bob Ulmer was back in the lineup, but obviously played in pain as he limped down the court. The Mustangs' zone defense caused the Braves problems early in the second quarter, and, with 5:30 left in the half, Madeira took the lead, 19-18. With three minutes left, Bob Ulmer and Chip Sudbrack started a string of ten unanswered points as the Braves

regained the lead and were up, 3228, at the half. Led by Healey's eight third quarter points, the Braves outscored the Mustangs, 24-14, to end the quarter on top, 5640. The last quarter was all Mustangs as they quickly erased the Braves lead and outscored the visitors, 19-5. With 25 seconds left, the Braves were up by one, but Ward Morgan hit one of two free throws to ice the game and foil the Mustangs' homecoming victory bid. Sudbrack was the games' leading scorer wit? 19.

IH breaks streak Breaking out of their league losing streak, the varsity basketball Braves defeated Norwood, 71-65, for their first non-league win of the season, Wednesday, January 28. The victory brought the Braves overall record to 8-5. The Braves were without starting center Bob Ulmer, who had a sprained ankle, but Ward Morgan and Chip Sudbrack made up for his abscence. Sudbrack had nineteen points and nine rebounds while Morgan added twenty points. The Braves led most of the game despite early foul trouble,

which caused the Braves t o go into a zone defense.

Braves bomb Cats I n an all around team effort, the Braves improved their league record t o 8-1 with a home 89-60 victory over Deer Park, January 23. Led by senior center Bob Ulmer, who stands fourth in the city in field goal percentage with an impressive 60.7%, the Braves took an early 6-0 lead. Good inside offensive penetration resulted in many early Brave layups as they took a commanding 13-1 lead mid-way through the first quarter. The Wildcats faired better later in the quarter as they managed t o pull within nine, 2415. A couple early second quarter steals enabled Deer Park t o slowly creep up on the Braves, until they were within six, 32-26. Led by the Braves' leading scorer Chip Sudbrack, Indian Hill boosted its halftime lead t o 47-32. Sudbrack tied the Braves' individual game high this season, netting a total of 30 points, almost twice his team leading 15.8 average. The Wildcats had trouble keeping up with the speedy Braves during a fast third quarter and fell

behind 6644. Thanks t o excellent play by Pete Leugers, Dee Gans, Chris Gruber, and Todd Benadum coming off the bench, the starters enjoyed a well deserved rest during most of the fourth quarter.

by Andy Baron Sound Affects, the new album by the Jam, is a somewhat mixed batch of songs, showing some of the band's greatest strengths and worst weaknesses. This effort follows last year's Settitz~Sons, a brilliant album full of clever hooks and thoughtful, descriptive lyrics. If this album is somewhat dissappointing to Jam-fans (I know you're out there), it is only because the Jam is capable of better. The first song, "Start!" (how clever), is an unabashed rip-off of

the Beatles' "Taxman." Cuitaristsongwriter Paul Weller doesn't make a habit of plagiarism (unlike Rick Neilson of Cheap Trick), but this is simply atrocious. Things get better (thank God) with the song "Pretty Green" (about money, not chartreuse pants). Bassplayer Bruce Foxton and drummer Rick Buckler lead off the song with a steady rhythm. Then, Paul Weller sings the opening verse in his perfect English voice. Just as Weller is about to sing the chorus, he injects some

Varsity grapplers pin down third at Reading by Fred Goosman The Indian Hill Varsity Wrestling squad finished in a surprisingly strong third place finish at the Reading Invitational Friday and Saturday January 30 and 31 with a total of 115 points. Glen Stucker, Brian Roche, John Nichols and Matt BahnfJeth came home with championships. Stucker's match was never in doubt as he went 4-0 before pinning his opponent in the 112 pound weight class. Roche, in the 126 pound weight class, went ahead, 11-3, in the first period and 15-8 in the second period before he finally pinned his victory in the third.

thunder with his distinctive bright guitar work. "Monday," the following song, is rather moody with a prominent bass-line and etheral sounding guitar. The effect of the song is somewhat like looking through a window on a rainy day and not being quite all there ( a compliment, no other thing has ever done that to me -- except midterms). "But I'm Different Now" follows "Monday ," which is somewhat strange because the two songs are totally different.

Others receiving medals were Jim Powell, Keith Chabut, Doug Goldberg and Paul Thomas, all earning fourth place finishes. Coach Marc Tirey later said that in earlier tournaments the team was physically ready but not mentally up for the matches. That, Tirey said, made a difference After forfeiting 24 points of empty weight classes, IH fell short of Deer Park, 34-33, Thursday, January 22. Brian Roche won, 10-1, and Jim Powell thrashed his opponent, 18-1. Keith Chabut followed with a 17-0 shutout, Doug Goldberg victored, 11-5, and Paul m o m a s won, 7-1, for the losing grapplers. .

pectedly, little pieces of those fantasies begin to come true. The plot involves murder, kidnapping, suspense, framery, and fraud, topped with a large dose of comedy. Colin Higgins wrote the screenplay of 9 t o 5 specifically for the three stars of the film: Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton. Jane Fonda is not as impressive as she usually is, mostly because her character is underdeveloped, but under the limiting circumstances, she handles the role gracefully. Dolly Parton comes across as a suprisingly wonderful actress in her debut, and still is (not suprisingly) as voluptuous as ever. But contrary to a somewhat popular opinion, she does not "make" the whole movie. The most noticeable one is, in fact, the lovely Lily Tomlin; she proves to be a great actress, as well as one of the top comediennes in the world today. In that respect, the only other actress she rivals is Laugh-In alumna Goldie Hawn. With the Academy Awards rolling around soon, 9 to 5 by itself will probably be competing mainly with the other best film made this year (of the ones that have already been released in behind-thetimes Cincinnati), Ordinary People. The tension on Oscar night will be nerve-wracking, especially since the two films are so opposite in nature, but chances are that most of the awards will be going to Ordinary People, particularly Best Picture and Best Director. Oh, did' I get off the topic? I'm sorry. 9 t o 5 is still a great movie.

"But I'm Different Now" is exuberant, straightforward and probably the best song on the album. Sounding a bit like early to middle-period Who, the song is guaranteed to give you a lift. This is the Jam's greatest strength their ability to leave the listener energized. "Set the House Ablaze," strengths and though, combines weaknesses. the Jam's The song starts out well enough tense and suspenseful -- but the chorus just doesn't jive with it. It's as if Weller couldn't come up with a decent chorus so he decided to change the rhythm. This breaks up all continuity in an otherwise intriguing song about the National Front, a neo-nazi political party in England). The side closes with "That's Entertainment," an acoustic number about the fruitlessness of trying to amuse oneself. Sample - "Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigaretteslcuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume/A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac/Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you weze far away that'sSide entertainment." two kicks off with "Dream Time." The song won't put you to sleep, though. A powerful song, complete with a semi-PS. :hedelic beginning. "Man in ' ~ Corner e Shop," while being quite catchy, fails lyrically. Sample the lines of tncl song: "Go to church do the people from the area/All shapes and classes sit and pray togetherlFor here they are all one/For God created all men equal." My, that's just peachy boys. Do you think if I went to the same church with John Rockefeller, God could dole m e out some bucks? I think that we'd both be a little more equal then. Ah well, cynicism aside, the next tune, "Music for the Fast Couple," . :an instrumental which is brilliantly crafted and contains an abundance of hooks. The final two songs end the album on a positive note. "Boy About Town" is an infectious mid-sixties type pop song that's full of hooks and "Scrape Away" is propulsive, although it drags a bit near the end (like this review). The Jam's Sound Affects is by no stretch of the mind a bad album. For my money, this trio is one of.the best groups to emerge from Great Britain in years. Sound Affects lacks some of the inspiration of Setting Sons, yet contains some real gems. A good album to be sure, but not great, which is what I expected.

Aug, PurceIIs speak at PTA drug program hv Rick Ruskin The reaction to rising statistics showing the present drug situation amoung teenagers makes drug information for students and adults much more accessible. Thursday, January 22, the PTA sponsored a meeting on drug awareness, encouraging people to get informed. A drug rehabilitation program, called STRAIGHT, was one of the major topics. According to Mr. Aug, the Thursday night meeting should not be misinterpreted. "It's very important that people take caution against over reacting," he warned, "you don't want t o harm relationships that are already strong." Mr. Grant Purcell, who spoke at the meeting, feels that the major interest at hand is "specifiHis cally, parent awareness."

wife, Mrs. Sue J?urcell, expanded on this relaying, "we're hoping others can become informed." Both Mr. and Mrs. Purcell relayed very positive feelings about the program and the rehabilitation center, located in St. Petersburg, Florida. According t o Mr. Purcell the program is divided into five phases. Phase one: The youth is deprived of "most everything." During this phase, he fives with someone his own age and sex, who is further along in the program. Phase two: The youth is allowed to see his parents. Mr. Purcell stated that this "parent participation is extremely important." Phase three: The youth starts t o attend school. Phase four: the youth gains more priveleges, and finally in

Phase five: the youth is soon ready to go home. The philosophy of these phases is to take away what the teen has and let him earn it back through the program. Throughout their stay at the center, the teens are always in contact with others who are further ahead in their rehabilitation. "It's a very tough program," stated Mr. Purcell. Mr. Aug commented that STRAIGHT has a very high rehabilitation rate. "There is almost a total conversion of attitude in the process." Two people who had been through STRAIGHT also spoke at the Thursday night meeting. 'It was a moving presentation," said Mr. Aug, "and very well done." The two conducted a questionanswer period in which the ques-

tion was asked, "Does drug education help solve the problem?" It was further expanded upon by asking what does solve the problem. The answer was "the affirmation of people's self worth supporting one another." Mr. Aug and Mr. Purcell were both in agreement about the fact that people that take drugs don't feel good about themselves. "It's tied t o a lack of self worth," stated Mr. Purcell. Mr. Purcell also commented that "it would behoove all students t o read reports on marijuana and other drugs. Know what you're facing." Lastly, Mr. Purcell tried t o impress that fact that the first step is recognizing the problem. "It's key for parents t o understand; a drug problem is the last thing they think is the problem, but it should be one of the first. If the parents have information in advance, just maybe they can discover the problem earlier."

Spanish, family make by Dhne McDonald In his nineteen years of teaching Spanish at IH, Bill Fogle has never grown tired of the Spanish language. His love for it is demonstrated in the Spanish exclamations he is always using. He has become famous for his "AYGdame Dfos!" (God help me!), and his "Ay de mi" (Oh my!). Before he began teaching at Indian Hill, SetTor Fogle taught Spanish and English at Harrison. When asked what he likes about teaching, he replies with a smile, "Some days I wonder." However, having a bachelor's degree from Miami University and a master's degree from Indiana University, he loves the Spanish language itself; "and I must like kids to put up with some of them I do put up with," he adds jokingly. Probably as much as the language and the students, he loves the trips to Spain. When speaking of Spain, Mr. Fogle's eyes light up with pleasure. He has been to Spain four times, each time with a school

group. The things he likes best about Spain are the people, who he says are "warm, friendly, and hospitable." He also enjoys, "of course, the chance to speak Spanish 24 hours a day." Mr. Fogle's family is very important to him. He and his wife have two children: Howard, thirteen, who goes to Walnut Mills; and Kathy, a freshman at Miami University. Mr. Fogle and his family Live in a huge, brick house in Hyde Park. The house is 70 years old, and in it Mr. Fogle and his wife host a Christmas party for the school faculty every year. During the school year, he and his family don't actually do a lot of things together; "Mainly it's just being with them at home" that's important to Mr. Fogle. During the summer, however, he he and his wife and children go t o Clamlake, Michigan, where they rent a cottage. There, Mr. Fogle "just rests and enjoys the peace, the quiet, the clean air, and the clean water."

by Bob Kindel The recent Mariemont teachers' strike has raised questions about the teacher status at Indian Hill. Yet unlike the teachers at Mariemont, Indian Hill teachers recently came to an agreement with the Board of Education. The agreement which the Classroom Teachers' Association (C.T.A.) and the Board of Education reached included a percentage raise "close to 1070." Along with this raise, teachers were allowed a greater number of cummulative sick days. Mrs. Marilyn Kennelly, head of the C.T.A., felt that this agreement was "acceptable." Mr. Nellis. Mr. Hammond and Mrs. Edgecomb - representing the teachers - met with Dr. Bell, Mr. Mack and Mrs. Croskey of the Board of Education to voice the "The views of the teachers. teachers feel that they have good lines of communication with the Board," commented Mrs. Kennelly . She added that ' k e have a working relationship."

"We [teachers] do not feel that we are oppressed," pointed out Mrs. Kennelly. She further commented that "the Board recognizes us." "Most of the staff belongs," Mrs. Kennelly relayed on the topic of C.T.A. membership. The actual percentage of membership hovers around 93%. As president of C.T.A., Mrs. Kennelly, along with vicepresident Mr. Terrel, meets with Dr. Boston monthly. At this meeting they discuss "concerns and problems of the teachers." Mrs. Kennelly cited, as an exarnple of such a topic, what kinds of teacher inservice days the teachers would like to have. However, Mrs. Kennelly pointed out that "Dr. Boston is not obliged to meet with us." Also, she added that "he does not have to accept our suggestions." However, she believes the fact that "Dr. Boston is willing to listen is a step in the right direction."

Some of the areas of competition are technical writing and speaking, drafting, research paper, parliamentary procedure. and club scrapbook.

The Student Government Education Committee continues to play cassettes and eight track tapes between periods and during lunch. Anyone wishing t o loan his tapes to be played please contact Mr. Dowling or Chad Christine.

The purpose of AIASA is t o educate and illustrate to the student the overall assets necessary for success in a technological world. In order to pay for the trip to Columbus, the club has taken part in many fund raising activities. Using the popular idea of silk screening the club manufactured pennants, which will be sold at the Homecoming game tonight. The club is also working on the construction of Drama Club equipment as well as designing and drafting residential plans. If any other club or individual needs some work done in the field of architecture, photography, or wood working, please contact the Industrial Arts Club's advisor, Mr. Dupps.

The "It's Academic" team will compete in its second taping this year on Sunday, 1-ebruary 8, against teams from Elder and St. Dave Xavier High Schools. Johnson, Andy Bahnfleth, and Joe Nicolas won their fust match earlier this year, and that taping will be aired on TV 48 on February 22.

disc review

Jam's latest lacks previous album's intensity by Dwight Poffenberger The Varsity Battling Braves hope t o improve their league record as they face the Loveland Tigers tonight in IH's homecoming game.

Braves hold off Mustangs The Braves, who are known for their spurt here, spurt there, and in between nothing play, almost allowed Madeira t o come from behind and win Friday, January 30, at Madeira. Thanks t o efforts by Ward Morgan and Terry Healey, who combined for the Braves' only fourth quarter points, IH held on to win, 61-59, and bring their league record to 9-1, keeping the Braves tied for first with Milford. In a first quarter which saw both teams in a man t o man defense, the Braves jumped out t o an early 14-10 lead, but got in early foul trouble. Senior center Bob Ulmer was back in the lineup, but obviously played in pain as he limped down the court. The Mustangs' zone defense caused the Braves problems early in the second quarter, and, with 5:30 left in the half, Madeira took the lead, 19-18. With three minutes left, Bob Ulmer and Chip Sudbrack started a string of ten unanswered points as the Braves

regained the lead and were up, 3228, at the half. Led by Healey's eight third quarter points, the Braves outscored the Mustangs, 24-14, to end the quarter on top, 5640. The last quarter was all Mustangs as they quickly erased the Braves lead and outscored the visitors, 19-5. With 25 seconds left, the Braves were up by one, but Ward Morgan hit one of two free throws to ice the game and foil the Mustangs' homecoming victory bid. Sudbrack was the games' leading scorer wit? 19.

IH breaks streak Breaking out of their league losing streak, the varsity basketball Braves defeated Norwood, 71-65, for their first non-league win of the season, Wednesday, January 28. The victory brought the Braves overall record to 8-5. The Braves were without starting center Bob Ulmer, who had a sprained ankle, but Ward Morgan and Chip Sudbrack made up for his abscence. Sudbrack had nineteen points and nine rebounds while Morgan added twenty points. The Braves led most of the game despite early foul trouble,

which caused the Braves t o go into a zone defense.

Braves bomb Cats I n an all around team effort, the Braves improved their league record t o 8-1 with a home 89-60 victory over Deer Park, January 23. Led by senior center Bob Ulmer, who stands fourth in the city in field goal percentage with an impressive 60.7%, the Braves took an early 6-0 lead. Good inside offensive penetration resulted in many early Brave layups as they took a commanding 13-1 lead mid-way through the first quarter. The Wildcats faired better later in the quarter as they managed t o pull within nine, 2415. A couple early second quarter steals enabled Deer Park t o slowly creep up on the Braves, until they were within six, 32-26. Led by the Braves' leading scorer Chip Sudbrack, Indian Hill boosted its halftime lead t o 47-32. Sudbrack tied the Braves' individual game high this season, netting a total of 30 points, almost twice his team leading 15.8 average. The Wildcats had trouble keeping up with the speedy Braves during a fast third quarter and fell

behind 6644. Thanks t o excellent play by Pete Leugers, Dee Gans, Chris Gruber, and Todd Benadum coming off the bench, the starters enjoyed a well deserved rest during most of the fourth quarter.

by Andy Baron Sound Affects, the new album by the Jam, is a somewhat mixed batch of songs, showing some of the band's greatest strengths and worst weaknesses. This effort follows last year's Settitz~Sons, a brilliant album full of clever hooks and thoughtful, descriptive lyrics. If this album is somewhat dissappointing to Jam-fans (I know you're out there), it is only because the Jam is capable of better. The first song, "Start!" (how clever), is an unabashed rip-off of

the Beatles' "Taxman." Cuitaristsongwriter Paul Weller doesn't make a habit of plagiarism (unlike Rick Neilson of Cheap Trick), but this is simply atrocious. Things get better (thank God) with the song "Pretty Green" (about money, not chartreuse pants). Bassplayer Bruce Foxton and drummer Rick Buckler lead off the song with a steady rhythm. Then, Paul Weller sings the opening verse in his perfect English voice. Just as Weller is about to sing the chorus, he injects some

Varsity grapplers pin down third at Reading by Fred Goosman The Indian Hill Varsity Wrestling squad finished in a surprisingly strong third place finish at the Reading Invitational Friday and Saturday January 30 and 31 with a total of 115 points. Glen Stucker, Brian Roche, John Nichols and Matt BahnfJeth came home with championships. Stucker's match was never in doubt as he went 4-0 before pinning his opponent in the 112 pound weight class. Roche, in the 126 pound weight class, went ahead, 11-3, in the first period and 15-8 in the second period before he finally pinned his victory in the third.

The effect of the song is somewhat like looking through a window on a rainy day and not being quite all there ( a compliment, no other thing has ever done that to me -- except midterms). "But I'm Different Now" follows "Monday ," which is somewhat strange because the two songs are totally different.

That, Tirey said, made a difference After forfeiting 24 points of empty weight classes, IH fell short of Deer Park, 34-33, Thursday, January 22. Brian Roche won, 10-1, and Jim Powell thrashed his opponent, 18-1. Keith Chabut followed with a 17-0 shutout, Doug Goldberg victored, 11-5, and Paul m o m a s won, 7-1, for the losing grapplers. .

pectedly, little pieces of those fantasies begin to come true. The plot involves murder, kidnapping, suspense, framery, and fraud, topped with a large dose of comedy. Colin Higgins wrote the screenplay of 9 t o 5 specifically for the three stars of the film: Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton. Jane Fonda is not as impressive as she usually is, mostly because her character is underdeveloped, but under the limiting circumstances, she handles the role gracefully. Dolly Parton comes across as a suprisingly wonderful actress in her debut, and still is (not suprisingly) as voluptuous as ever. But contrary to a somewhat popular opinion, she does not "make" the whole movie. The most noticeable one is, in fact, the lovely Lily Tomlin; she proves to be a great actress, as well as one of the top comediennes in the world today. In that respect, the only other actress she rivals is Laugh-In alumna Goldie Hawn. With the Academy Awards rolling around soon, 9 to 5 by itself will probably be competing mainly with the other best film made this year (of the ones that have already been released in behind-thetimes Cincinnati), Ordinary People. The tension on Oscar night will be nerve-wracking, especially since the two films are so opposite in nature, but chances are that most of the awards will be going to Ordinary People, particularly Best Picture and Best Director. Oh, did' I get off the topic? I'm sorry. 9 t o 5 is still a great movie.

"But I'm Different Now" is exuberant, straightforward and probably the best song on the album. Sounding a bit like early to middle-period Who, the song is guaranteed to give you a lift. This is the Jam's greatest strength their ability to leave the listener energized. "Set the House Ablaze," strengths and though, combines weaknesses. the Jam's The song starts out well enough tense and suspenseful -- but the chorus just doesn't jive with it. It's as if Weller couldn't come up with a decent chorus so he decided to change the rhythm. This breaks up all continuity in an otherwise intriguing song about the National Front, a neo-nazi political party in England). The side closes with "That's Entertainment," an acoustic number about the fruitlessness of trying to amuse oneself. Sample - "Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigaretteslcuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume/A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac/Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you weze far away that'sSide entertainment." two kicks off with "Dream Time." The song won't put you to sleep, though. A powerful song, complete with a semi-PS. :hedelic beginning. "Man in ' ~ Corner e Shop," while being quite catchy, fails lyrically. Sample the lines of tncl song: "Go to church do the people from the area/All shapes and classes sit and pray togetherlFor here they are all one/For God created all men equal." My, that's just peachy boys. Do you think if I went to the same church with John Rockefeller, God could dole m e out some bucks? I think that we'd both be a little more equal then. Ah well, cynicism aside, the next tune, "Music for the Fast Couple," . :an instrumental which is brilliantly crafted and contains an abundance of hooks. The final two songs end the album on a positive note. "Boy About Town" is an infectious mid-sixties type pop song that's full of hooks and "Scrape Away" is propulsive, although it drags a bit near the end (like this review). The Jam's Sound Affects is by no stretch of the mind a bad album. For my money, this trio is one of.the best groups to emerge from Great Britain in years. Sound Affects lacks some of the inspiration of Setting Sons, yet contains some real gems. A good album to be sure, but not great, which is what I expected.

Still, many IH'ers believe that any student, regardless of minority status, can be readily accepted by his peers if he makes the attempt. The general belief seems to be that if certain groups of people appear to be segregated, it is because they choose to stick with their own kind. Senior Kristi Dinsmore suggested that some people do tend to pick their friends on the basis of race, but only because those are the people they feel most comfortable with, and that, more often, students group themselves by type, not race.

egin.s second winning streak by Chrischmalz The "Choosey" Braves, now into their "second winning streak," beat the host Madeira Mustangs, 4740, Friday, January 30. Both the Braves and the Mustangs were extremely careless Throughout the first quarter both squads committed numerous turnovers. At 1:12 in the first quarter, Jeff Smith attempted to draw a foul. With two feel firmly planted, he was bowled over by a Mustang. The foul having been called on Smith, Coach West began arguing and was issued a technical. The Braves built an early lead, but Madeira came back and pulled ahead 13-11 at the close of the quarter. The Braves battled back, with the help of Dave Davis, who scored 15 points, in the second quarter and slowly pulled ahead, opening their lead to 28-22 at the half. Madeira stayed with the Braves throughout the third quarter, and, as a result, IH could not open up their lead. The Braves followed the advice of Coach West and Jiff peanut butter in the fourth quarter as they became "choosey" about where and when they shot. As their lead spread, the Mustang victory chances dissipated. The Braves held off a Madeira comeback to win, 4740. The victory improved their record to 6-4 in the league and 10-5 overall.

The Indians jumped to an overpowering 12-2 lead early in the first quarter as the Braves could not get their play together. The Braves then battled back to cut the ten point lead in half, bringing the first quarter score to 16-9, Norwood. The Braves slowly chipped away at the Indians' lead but could not put together any strong spurts as they traiied, 24-18, at the half. "This is the best coaching job Coach West has done so far," said Kris Ashing. The Braves began to improve their play but still did not take the lead as Norwood stayed ahead, 30-26, at the close of the third quarter. Jim Arnold was a definite fourth quarter factor as he sparkled, scoring many of his 15 points in the remaining quarter. With 1 5 0 left, Arnold scored, tying the game at 37 all. The score then shifted back and forth as Norwood would score, and the Braves would come back to tie it. Dave Havlovic tied the score, 41-41, by hitting a key basket and drawing a foul with twelve seconds left. Havlovic then hit both freethrows, putting the Braves up, 4341. Norwood's buzzer shot failed, giving the Braves their ninth victory overall. "We beat Norwood on aggressive second half rebounding," said Andy Hall.

Besides his scoring explosion, Arnold was all over the court making many steals and drawing fouls as well. But the Braves' foul trouble continued to halt their success as they barely stayed ahead, 31-28, at the half. The Braves' marginal first half lead was cut to one during the third quarter as they could not get their play together due t o foul trouble. Jim Arnold opened the final quarter with two quick baskets, putting the Braves up, 4742. But Deer Park battled back and took a 5047 lead when Dave Davis fouled out at 4 ~ 2 0 . The Wildcats kept their lead until the buzzer, giving the Braves their fourth league loss. "Our offense was going, but our defense was slow," explained Jim Arnold. Arnold, Jay Kohls, Chuck Westhc and Jim Morgan all had four fouls, which considerably slackened the Braves' play.

That's how Bob Rhoad described- the Freshman Braves' 62-27 embarrassing loss to the Sycamore Aviators in the EHL Tournament Wednesday, February 4.

A Braves fan attending the game said that "the turning point in the game was when the Braves lost the opening tip-off." The squad finished with a 7-9 overall record. The Baby Braves prevailed over Glen Este, 35-27, in the EHL Freshman Tournament Saturday, January 31. The upset enabled the Frosh to advance into the semi-finals to play first place Sycamore.

O to~

Today, the average IH student does not actively involve himself in the educational process. Either student apathy, poor teaching attitude or a weak administrative foundation or a combination of these cultivates a nearly indifferent attitude, and we must confront and correct this problem. Surely, part of this dilemma can be attributed to the malcontent of the '60's. but that was a time of active involvement and concern. Instead of the pacifists of the '60's we have the passivists of the Most IH students, while they often complain about classes, never seem t o have the concern or initiative to pursue the problem and work for a solution. And when, perhaps, a student is outraged by a teacher or class, his peers rush t o appease his rash and disturbing behavior, leaving the student in greater frustration. Some students may believe that their classes have no faults or that they are just not able t o judge a teacher or a course. But actually, the students are the only evaluators who can accurately weigh a class's strengths and weaknesses, and all classes need some improvement. While the average student's lack of concern about his education contributes t o the overall problem, teachers' failure t o encourage constructive criticism certainly discourage from the students. - suggestions -some teachers do distribute for student criticism, the majority do not. Some educators even teach destructively - students learn more than just the subject matter; they learn the teacher's attitude t o ~ a r d the s subject. For example, how can an unenthusiastic teachers expect his students t o like his educator must be careful how he presents subject? and maintains his class. Finally, the administration does not support student involvement in educational improvement .*-'If a student wants to suggest a change in a class or tekher, he has no vehicle through which t o improve the class situation except by conferring with the teacher, which is sometimes impossible. While the Guidance Department can offer aid here, often the student is overwhelmed by the complicated, and often ineffective,- process. Thus, greater student appreciation of his education is only possible through the support of the student body, the teachers, and the administration; and without some improvement, indifference may evolve into hostilitv and hatred. *

SG organizes Pep Week As you all must know by now, tomorrow is the date for the 1981 Winter Homecoming Dance. Hopefully this past "Pep Week" has been helpful in restoring some badly needed school spirit. Many thanks to those punkers and cowboys who finally got a chance to display their fashions, which were a welcome change from the crewneck sweaters and buttondown shirts that are all too common during the winter at Indian Hill. The traditional procession of and dates for King- and Queen will take place tonight between the reserve and varsity basketball games (approximately 8:00 p.m.). Then, the Battling Braves will continue their quest for the EHL crown, taking on the Loveland Tigers. Later in February will come a project that may be a revelation to some students - a computer dating service. Freshman Tom

Warfel is busy developing the program to be used, and it should be ready by approximately February 21. Each student will have the opportunity to describe his own traits and then program his own tastes and preferences, and the conlputer will come up with possible choices. Hopefully, this project will also be successful in helping to liven up the dull winter months here at IH. The concert presented by Powerplay on January 28 was a definite success, and the band was accepted very well. The proceeds from the forum will go to Indian Hill's Tech Crew, which is badly in need of new equipment prior to Pow-Wow. As you can see, Student Government is doing its part to breathe life into Indian Hill during its slowest months. Sandy Geier SG Vice-President

student opinion

S tu d e nts m ust mo i nto in AAA p ride by Fred Goosman Even though the administration has boasted of better pride in our school, the pride doesn't seem to show in their actions. In student enrollment, IH is Triple A now, but only four people above the Double A level. None the less, the lack of participation in Sports is pathetic. Not for the socalled "glamour" sports like football, basketball, or baseball, but for the 'lesser" sports like

alphabetize Dave by Rick Ruskin Dave Wiech may be known for his activities on the basketball court, but his actions differ greatly from the average player. Dave, as one of the directors of the Pep Band, does his best to arouse the spirit at every Braves' basketball game. "The school spirit is still lacking," Dave said, "Only ten percent of the school, at most, has any enthusiasm toward basketball and football." But he feels that the Pep Band has contributed a lot to the increasing spirit. Pep Band is just one of the many bands in which Dave plays. Others range from Concert Band, where Dave is first seat, to Orchestra, to the famed Charteroak Stationary Marching Concert Band. His favorite band, though, if Jazz Ensemble. "It's the only time that we get to play real music (the good stuff)." Dave relayed that he spends "three nights a week at least" playing or prac-

ticing for some band. "Some-, times it has been as many as five I or six days in one week." I All of this dedication can be based on his single statement; "I guess I just like it." Yes, Indian Hill, there is another side to Dave Wiech outside of the band room doors. When he is not playing the trumpet, Dave often works at the Blue Ash YMCA. For two summers he worked as a day camp counselor and during the year he often works in programs with kids, ages 6 to 1 2 Like so many other seniors, Dave spend a lot of time planning what he will do after high school. "I'd like to go on vacation," he relayed, "but I'll probably go t o Notre Dame, major in engineering, play in the band, and go to bowl games." Dave has always been a devoted Notre Dame fan, because he was brought up under "the ND influence" of his father and grandfather, who both went

swimming or wrestling. All are varsity sports with thr same awards and comraderv involved. Recently in a wrestling match, IH won eight out of ten weight classes, but still lost because of having to forfeit five other classes, caused by lack of personnel. If events like this continue to happen, IH cannot be competitive, even on the Double A level, or boast of having pride.

Dave looks forward t o what lies upon the beaches of Sarasota. there. Before he departs for ND, though, Dave anxiously awaits his spring break in Sarasota. "I'm looking forward to the beach. . . and what's upon it." Dave Wiech is not the average senior (if he were, you probably wouldn't know him), but he still

has those down home qualities. and even a small sense of hum&. "I don't play any sports, so I don't hurt my lips. I have no favorite food; you name it, I eat it (except for Chinese food), and I am sure looking forward t o the day when they hand me my diploma. "

Maria practices her dancing technique for Pow-Wow '81.

by David Johnson Never mind about finally becoming a senior and being o n top of the Hill, Maria Fair is more worried about catching the wretch that pilfered her wallet. Convinced that "all my memories are/wiLl be good," Maria remains one of IH's most easygoing seniors. An avid dancer, Maria has been perfecting her art since kindergarten, and has performed several solo pieces since that time; her early career as a dancer involved "recitals all the time" and exposed her to many different characters of dance, most notably a "rockette." In her years at IH, Maria has become most interested in jazz dancing, appearing as a member of the Precision Chorus in Pow-Wow 79-80 and performing a ballet number in Pow-Wow '79 as a sophomore. She will also be dancing in the Precision Charus in the upcamim Broadway on Life (Pow-Wow '81). Maria has always m e d "putting together outfits for other people," and with this in mind,

has decided t o pursue a career in fashion merchandising/clothing and textiles at Ohio State University next fall. Keeping pace with her career in clothing, Maria will be participating in an upcoming fashion show at Pogue's, where she will be modeling styles of the "Roaring Twenties." A love for travelling and "going to new places" also makes up a big part of Maria's life. wsiting Michigan, Wisconsin, New York, South Carolina, Florida, and Kentucky, she hopes to visit the British Isles and Hawaii in the near future. In the nearer future, she "can't wait" until Spring Break and a trip to Ft. Lauderdale. Enjoying IHers in every walk of life, Maria continues t o accumulate many fond memories of her years at Indian Hill. "Something crazy hapl?ens to me every day," Maria explained. By the way, her stolen wallet also contained her collection of senior pictures; judging from Maria's attitude toward IH life, however, this supply will soon be replenished.

Chieftain - Indian Hill High School - Cincinnati, Ohio 45243

Curriculum Fair by John Lilly Indian Hill underclassmen were given an opportunity Wednesday to obtain information on classes for the 1981-82 school year at the fxst annual Curriculum Fair. The fair precedes the actual class choices, due on February 13. The Curriculum Fair, held in the cafeteria Wednesday morning, was an effort on the part of the IH faculty to inform unde~classmen of the subject matter and format of any class they might which t o take. Linda Coppins, an Indian Hill guidance counselor, explained her outlook on the fair. "Its purpose is to provide the students with information regarding the courses So they will not be surprised next year." She added, "I think it is a good idea if it is used well," Thomas Aug, assistant principal, agreed with Coppins. ''I

think the students should take the scheduling process seriously. We're having the fair to clear up any problems they might have." At the fair, teachers, representing each department, answered questions put to them by 8th through 11th grade students in attendance. Among the attractions were the math department's Apple I1 computer, a slide show, and free sweet rolls. Most people who attended the fair agreed that it was worthwhile and a success. Aug described the event as "excellent." "I see no reason not to repeat it next year." He added jokingly, "I've had a few complaints about the rolls, but the price is right." IH student, Chris Schmalz, said of the event, "It is worth while t o those who use it." Both Aug and Coppins agreed

by Chris Schmalz This year's Model United Nations club will again trek to Georgetown, Washington D.C. for the eighteenth annual North Atlantic International Model United Nations (NAIMUN) February 12. The group consists of Dana Baldwin, Kama Brockman, Chad Christine, Chris Hug, Peter Hug, Dave Johnson, Bob Kindel, Jane Lewin. Ward Mathias Bob Ottenjohn, Ed Piotrowski, Dan Reid and Charles Wood. The Indian Hill M.U.N. members plan to represent the United ~Republic of Tanzania and the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen. Chad Christine reported that "we have been researching our countries and preparing our platforms for nearly a month." Mr. John Nellis, the M.U.N.

club adviser, feels ''this is the best prepared group we've ever taken." Bob Kindel went further t o add that "we know parliamentary procedure really well along with having a strong understanding of world issues." Recently, M.U.N. members met with Father Salvatore, a Tanzanian priest. "This was an extremely informative meeting considering we are representing Tanzania at NAIMUN," relayed Charles Wood, a member of the Tanzanian delegation. Bob Kindel pointed out also that "Father Salvatore gave us Third World insight into many African problems." One of the more shocking problems that Father Salvatore cited was the existence of an annual yearly income per capita circa $220 in Tanzania.
