Non-league games hurt Braves by Dwight Poffenberger The Indian Hill Varsity Boys' Basketball team lost a non-league contest, 76-70, Wednesday, December 16 against Turpin. Before a sparse home crowd, the Braves dropped their overall record to 3 4 . The Braves jumped out to a quick 8-2 lead but had. trouble holding it. At the end of the first quarter, the Braves' 16-11 lead diminished to a 17-16 deficit. The Braves had fits trying to conquer a tough halfcourt trap by Turpin, but managed to regain the lead a minute into the second quarter. The Braves then opened their largest lead of the night, 26-21, on accurate passing by Sandy Geier and Ward Morgan's two free throws and field goal. Before the half had ended, Turpin snuck into a 34-30 lead. In the third quarter, the Braves managed to stay close, thanks to the leadership of senior Bob Ulmer, who ended the game with 30 points. The third quarter ended with the Braves trailing by six, 49-55. The Braves managed to play Turpin evenly the fourth quarter, but could not pick up the extra needed points. Coach Dale McKibben commented later, "It was a poor effort on our part."

Braves bounce Mustangs The varsity basketball team remained undefeated in league play this year by beating Madeira, 8268, at Indian Eill Friday, December 12. The victory brought the Brave's EHL record to 3-0 and 3-3 overall. Senior Ward Morgan's three point play early in the first quarter helped the Braves jump out to a quick 7-0 lead. An aggressive Braves' defense prevented the Mustangs from taking many shots early but with 2:35 remaining in the first quarter, Madeira pulled even, 11-11. The first quarter ended in a deadlock, 20-20. Led by Chip Sudbrack's 14 first-half points, the Braves went into the locker room deadlocked, 4242. Madeira jumped ahead to start the second half, 4844, but Sandy Geier and Bob Ulmer took the Braves into the lead, 56-60, with 2 5 7 remaining in the third quarter. The Braves quickly lost their

lead when a technical foul was called after a regular foul by Chip Sudbrack. The Braves' rebounding and defensive zone kept them ahead most of the final quarter. Witn 2:21 left, Sudbrack fouled out, but juniors Terry Healey and Dave Hancher made key plays late in the game to secure the victory.

Braves open with win The Braves opened their league play successfully with a 5748 victory Wednesday, December 3 over Milford. The game was played before a surprisingly sparse home crowd. Senior Bob Ulmer helped the Braves open up a 13-0 lead by scoring 7 of the points. Ulmer's strength under the basket earned him the game high total of 15. A strong Braves defense held the Eagles scoreless for the first 4:38 of the first quarter. Defensive leadership was provided by seniors Sandy Geier, Chip Sudbrack, and Ward Morgan. The Braves' momentum kept flowing until the half en'ded with the Braves leading 35-19. Midway through the third quarter the Braves couldn't find the basketball and Milford edged back to a score of 47-34. Three quick Milford baskets put them back in the game 47-40 but Coach McKibben halted the momentum with a pair of time outs. The Braves offense had trouble handling Milford's zone defense, so they called a four-corner offense to bring Milford into a man-to-man defense. Six straight Milford points after a questional jump call narrowed Indian Hill's lead to four, 5 2-4 8. Junior guard Dave Hancher hit two key free throws to further the Braves lead to 54-48. Key rebounds in the last few minutes by Bob Ulmer and Ward Morgan iced the victory.

Chargers down Braves The Indian Hill squad lost a close non-league contest against Forest Park at home, 52-55, Saturday, December 6. The Braves' record fell to 2-3 overall and 2-0 in the league. The Braves got off to a sluggish start in the first quarter and fell behind 17-11. The Braves' big men had a tough night facing the powerful Forest Park team. Forest Park was deadly with their outside shooting, which accounted for a 32-25 lead at the half. Helped by a pair of buckets by Ward Morgan, Indian Hill's leading scorer with 17, the Braves pulled within one, 34-33, midway through the third quarter. Despite a tough Forest Park zone, the Braves managed to end the third quarter trailing, 46-43. Opening the fourth quarter, Forest Park had no trouble handling the full court press called by Coach McKibben and pulled out in front by a 5 4 4 6 margin. Good defensive hustle by the Braves enabled them to pull within two, 57-55, when time ran out.

IH drops Deer Park The Braves defeated Deer Park, 64-57, at Deer Park, Saturday, December 5. Sandy Geier and Ward Morgan each had six points in the first quarter, but the Braves fell behind, 19-18. Senior Chip Sudbrack threw in nine in the second quarter as the Braves outplayed the Wildcats, 17-12 for a 35-31 halftime lead. Sudbrack, the game's leading scorer, had 21 total points while Ward Morgan added 16 overall. The Braves continued to dominate the game during the third quarter but were outplayed, 16-15, in the fourth. The Braves shot a very respectable 69.6 per cent to a 60 per cent average for Deer Park.

IH DECA operates annual Little w o r l d by Ann Helferich The Indian Hill High School Distributive Education class is sponsoring its ninth annual Christmas Little World. DECA juniors and seniors, with the help of DECA sponsor Mr. Jim Benken, will operate Little World through December 21. Hours are until 8:00 p.m. today and from 12:OO to 5 :00 p.m. tomorrow and Sunday at Madeira's Camargo Station and the Indian Hill Creek Club House. Little World is a store designed for the young shopper (ages 2-12) to purchase Christmas gifts for their relatives and friends. To help the young shoppers fit their limited budgets, DECA class members assist the young shoppers in the choosing of their gifts from merchandise priced from $.50 to $5.00. In addition, The DECA students gift wrap and tag all purchases for the children.

According to Mr. Benken, this year's location at Camargo Station is a definite asset to the project because of its proximity to a retailing center. The location, however, was not easy to come by, as the group did not secure plans for the storefront until the week of Thanksgiving. MI. Benken commented that it is "really tough to find a place." DECA members constructed the cashier's booth and decorations in two weeks to give Little World a holiday atmosphere. DECA sponsors Little World as a class project and all members are required to serve six shifts of two and a half hours. The project counts as 25% of the participants' quarter grades. DECA purchases Little World merchandise from wholesalers. Mr. Benken said that the group hopes to gross $5,000 from two weeks of sales. They expect to

by Annette Theuring Coliseum concert-goers who illegally consume alcoholic beverages in the public arena will find themselves less likely to be arrested than earlier this year because of efforts of Cincinnati's new mayor, David Scott Mann. Instead, police will be looking primarily for illegal drug use. Mann, a tax lawyer, was a key figure in the investigations following the December 3, 1979 'Who' tragedy, when city council member J. Kenneth Blackwell held the1 post of mayor. Blackwell, as part of a massive public safety campaign, had ordered a police crackdown on drug and alcohol abuse at rock concerts, and hundreds of youths were being arrested at

every event. Many members of city council disagreed with Blackwell's move. According to Paul Wardheimer, Public information officer, the feeling of an increasing number of city council members was that, even though the drug and alcohol problem "couldn't be ignored," the huge number of arrests was not solving the safety problem. In a Chieftain interview, David Mann expressed his concern. "I never understood exactly what the point was in making all those arrests," the mayor agreed. "I couldn't see how the eleven deaths related to the crackdown. As far as I am concerned, alcohol abuse had nothing to do with the deaths."

Paul Wardheimer, who served as the chief of staff of the task force, explained that the recommendation included crowd management guidelines as well as a suggestion of "fair and equitable law enforcement at all events." Many of the crowd control guidelines contained in the task force analysis, which is available for sale t o the public for seven dollars per copy, have been the basis for two Cincinnati ordinances and an Ohio state law which is presently being reviewed by Governor James Rhodes.

senior sketch Seniors every year learn, via the great philosophers, of Man's search for the just society. From Socrates' time in ancient Greece to the present, the meaning and establishment of justice have pre-occupied men, and the founders of our own country set as one of their goals "to establish justice." In fact, every day questions arise, trivial and monumental, pertaining to the existence of justice, or lack thereof - "that's not fair," "give me a fair chance," "you're being unjust." We speak of justice all the time, but nobody knows what it means. Students will naturally speak of justice on a smaller scale than perhaps Jefferson, but the roots of a just society, whatever the definition of "just," are not only in its Constitution or its senators or its President, but also in the people. The concept of punishment may well be the most pertinent facet of justice, at least to US now. Our school, for instance, has several methods of punishment: grades (zero for the day), detention, calling parents, Saturday Study, suspension and finally We grant that each of these punishments Can be effective if used properly and at the proper time. ]For instance, every student knows someone to whom grades are not at all important. What, then, would be the value of giving that student a Zero for the day as punishment for not doing homework? One could conceivably argue that students will if the grade-conscious student gets a zero for - not doing homework while the student not concerned a b ~ u tgrades gets a detention. And we concede that most likely, people that One of the two students was treated more fairly than the other. The solution lies in our own concepts of iustice and punishment. The reason for punishing is, and must remain, to help the student grow and learn from the experience. Only as a last resort should punishment be used as pure punishment, that the student should not feel he got off " S C O ~ free." In accordance with this ideal, it is not the duty of the administration - or anyone who decides punishment. includingi our courts - to deal equally with every student, but to prescribe punishments as "equity" would dictate. "Equity ," not "equality," should be the goal of our school and everother school. Too often teachers and administrators lose sight of the true purpose of giving punishment. Instead of making the punishment appropriate for the occasion and the student so that it becomes a learning technique, they stick to rules that, though intended as guidelines, were not meant to be rigidly - - adhered to. The result is, of course, a group of frustrated students who were improperly punished and may learn from the -

experience. . .the wrong lesson. It is probable that instead of being taught to respect others, such students will learn to flee the reins of any dominating figure and resent what the faculty, the administration, the government represent. Basically, we suggest that though the writing of the Discipline Code and the implementation of Saturday Study give the student a better idea of, and a fairer chance with, the discipline regulation, justice should really reach beyond the page and into the individuality of each student and each case. Punishment can be used negatively, as a destroyer of character, or positively, as a builder of growth - i t is the choice of those who administer it.

J o h n e n n0 n Rock and Roll legacy by Mr. Steve Strider One of the most popular units we teach in our ~ i n e r a lMusic classes is a presentation on the Beatles. Most students, although they don't remember the Beatles during the actual years of their POP~'="~Y(1964-1970), are very receptive to their music. They are fascinated by the McCartney hoax and subsequent

geous "Why Don't We Do It In The Road?" is truly awesome. The Beatles seemed to be able to do anything. When it looked as though they might be going off the deep end with something like "Tomorrow Never Knows," they would turn around and bowl US over with a straight ahead rocker . like ' c o t T~ Get you Into MY Life."

Coming from a financially "oriented" family, Jeff hopes to study electrical engineering at Lehigh University and is anxiously awaiting to hear if he has been accepted there. Leading a very busy life, Jeff proclaims, "I like to participate and get involved in school activities." Schoolwork, student government, sports, and music take up the bulk of his time. Just recently inducted into NHS, Jeff has risen in intelluctual status and jokingly replies, "I guess that means now I am a certified wedge !" Presently senior class treasurer , Jeff spends a lot of time in student government activities. Besides "swindling" a few hundred bucks to help the senior class budget, he is on the SG Service Committee and is one of the major reasons for the success of the weekly orphanage visits. In addition, Jeff enjoys soccer because "it's a fast paced sport

with a lot of action." His love for the sport can be seen through the skill with which he plays if, and he won the Varsity soccer MVP award and allleague honors. Sharing his soccer skills with younger kids, Jeff works within the SAY soccer program. Jeff also runs hurdles in which he has performed admirably in past years. Playing the guitar is one of Jeff's other forms of relaxation. Listening and playing to his favorite rock performers (Led Zepplin, Van Halen, and Jimi Hendrix). Jeff says, "Rock gets me really rowdy - you know what I mean. . .?" Jeff plans to continue his guitar playing and prophesizes, "Give me another twenty yeais and I'll sound like Eric Clapton."

Annette pirouettes her w a y towards iournolism by David Johnson "I11 type anybody's paper!" This appealing proposition most likely takes up much of senior Annette Theuring's time during Position Paper Week. When her fingers aren't dancing on the keys, she is usually perfecting her favorite dance routine. Having taken dance lessons for six years, in addition to several stints as the teacher, Annette combines her love of dance with a strong journalistic background to fill her senior days. Annette feels her dancing abilities were strengthened most significantly during a dance camp she attended in Jacksonville, Florida, where she was able to teach and ''to get exposed to different kinds of dance." Adding to the excitement at the dance camp, Annette shared a room with an actress who was given a chance to perform a role on the TV show Happy Days- One can expect to see Annette poised on stage when the curtain rises at this year's Pow-WowNow undecided about her future at college, Annette formerly leaned towards a journalism major at Northwestern or New York University. She now takes a jonrnalissn course and often

writes for Chieftain; her most recent article includes an interview with Cincinnati mayor David Mann. Having finished two years on the flag corps as captain and looking forward very much to this year's Pow-Wow, Annette has been an avid supporter of Indian Hill's music department. Dabbling in piano and clarinet, Annette became interested in the flag corps through the band and won several ribbons in competition at flag camp this summer. Calling her trip to Spain a year ago her "most exciting experience," Annette enjoys travelling as a reprieve from the rigor of the Indian Hill schedule. In her free time, Annette enjoys trying new things; this summer, she learned to sky-dive, an experience she will long remember. In addition, taking care of her cat "Buddy" helps her to relax from position papers and other pressures on seniors. With her strong academic background (National Merit SemiFinalist, Yale University Book Award) and her dancing talent, Annette Theuring strikes a balance between intellectual and physical exercises.

Hern points to persona/ reasons as Aqua-squaws win tri-meet over cause of retirement from coaching Madeira, Mercy by Kurt Dusterberg The Indian Hill football program fell into a deeper hole when Cliff Hern announced his retirement as head coach of the varsity football team. The official announcement was made at a Board of Education meeting December 3. Just weeks before, Jim Stacey quit his post as head J V coach, which leaves the athletic department looking for two coaches to fill the positions. Hern, who compiled an 18-284 record in five years at Indian Hill,said his reasons for stepping down were personal, and he felt it simply was time for a change. "I didn't want to make just emotional decision," Hern said. "It was a progressive one. I wanted to evaluate where the Indian Hill football program was going." "I first stated giving it serious thought after the Deer Park game when we lost, 7-0. That's when I

Cliff Hern started evaluating how the whole situation was effecting me." Hern's decision causes the athletic department to start hunting for a new coach. Presently, there are eight applicants for the job, and at least one is a member of Indian Hill's staff, according to athletic director Carol Wehmann.

Deer Park, Milford by Renee Graham and Mandy Griesdorn Despite the defensive efforts of Lisa Goldsmith and high scaring of Melissa Pope with 14 points, the Squaws suffered a loss to Marian, 45-37, last Friday, December 14. Maura A'Hearn had an outstanding scoring and rebounding game, sinking a game-high 18 points. The Squaws also received help from Lisa Goldsmith, Many Griesdorn, Betsy Esterly and Mary Brainard. The Lady Braves saw their record drop to 2-2, 2-1 in the EHL, when they lost to Madeira, 56-48, Thursday, December 11. Senior Cris Cucinotta put on a good offensive show by scoring 15 points as the game's high scorer. Indian Hill had a break early in the fourth quarter when Madeira's Pam Mack fouled out with five minutes left. Coach Pfimann is working on a rotating starting line up this season with three of the five starters competing for a position each game.

Hern pointed to a "renewal of tradition and dedication by the players" as part of the way the football program could back on its feet again. "We need a strong off-season weight program," he explained. All the good teams have one. Football takes year-round dedication. We just don't have enough." The 198O for was very discouraging. During his days at Indian Hill, the team had a winning tradition and good seasons. In 1962, Hern scored 121 points alone. This season, the entire offense managed just 48 points. Hern will continue to teach at Indian Hill and be the head coach of the junior high track team, but he left the door open for the future. "If the right situation comes up, yes, I'd get back into football. It would have to be a job I want and one I could grow into."

Every year when the holiday season comes around, we are deluged with television holiday specials ranging from cartoons to "An Opryland Christmas." We are also subjected to what seems like a million commercials for gifts to help celebrate the holidays. The question arises, have Christmas and Chanukah become too commercialized? Is the spirit of Christmas being wrapped up in a cardboard box with shiny silver paper and yards of red ribbon? To some people the meaning of Christmas or Chanukah may be only to receive gifts. Their main chore for December is to flip through the Talbot's catalogue or take a trip to Kenwood to get ideas for an elaborate list of gifts which they plan to find under the tree Christmas morning. To an extent, we are all guilty of this attitude. At times we become overly concerned with ourselves how WE feel, what WE want. What is important, though, is the degree to which we carry this selfishness. The holidays were initiated as a celebration of religion, and to most this religious feeling remains a part of the celebration. To many others, though, the meaning of the holidays transcends the religious significance. Christmas and Chanukah provide for them an opportunity to show their love and concern for those around them. These people think less about themselves and concentrate on attempts to spread happiness among their friends and family. The giving attitude, which intensifies in the holiday season, has expanded to all twelve months at Indian Hill over the past few years. Concerned students, teachers, administrators and community members have joined together to develop programs exemplifying their concerns for others. The Peer Counseling Program is just one example of projects undertaken by unselfish students and faculty to reach out to others. Student Government has also done its part by sponsoring weekly orphanage visits. NOW it is our turn to reach out and exhibit the Christmas spirit. Acquiring a "give to" attitude doesn't mean that vou must join some tvpe - of volunteer organization - it only implies forgetting about yourself and taking an interest in those around you. The holiday season generates a feeling of camaraderie and There is no better time than the Yuletide festivities to reach out to your friends and your family, .L

SG projects deemed successfuI by Chris Schmalz The third annual Elf Auction was held last Tuesday in order to raise money for the Beech Acres Orphanage, the Neediest Kids of All, and the Salvation Army. The 613 dollars raised will be donated equally to the three charities. Robin Greiner raised the most money of all elves, selling. for $50. The bidding for this elf went up rapidly but at the $30 mark it became a duel between Peter Graham and the eventual winner Sandy Geier. Brad Taylor was constantly bidding "5 dolla" but was upset when he did not get an elf. "It was an American Capitalist plot," commented Brad. The Siamese elves of Kevin Egan and John Brophy sold for $30, and a prized Mr. Garwood brought in $23. The elves perform their services today, some of which should include carrying books and singing carols. The SG Thanksgiving charity

by Richard Stndling Monday, December 15 marked the beginning of Moeller High School's winter football program. S&cely four weeks after its sekson ended, Moeller's football machine started up again, demonstrating the size and strength the program carries. Wednesday, December 3, that program underwent some changes as thirty-five year-old Ted Bacigalupo was hired as head coach replacing Gerry Faust. Bacigalupo (pronounced botcheega-loop-oh) says fans can expect few changes in the basics of the program but that there will be changes in the football staff. These changes are, as of yet, undecided. There are a few critics that say that Faust's leaving marks the de-

cline of Moeller football. Bacigalupo denounces these rumors by saying that within the program there is not intention of decline. "People will have to tell us what decline is," he beamed. 'We will let the results speak for themselves." Bacigalupo has been at Moeller as a coach for thirteen years, the last four working with the varsity linebackers. "I feel I was chosen as head coach because of my knowledge of the program," he said, "both on offense and defense." The Xavier University graduate played three years of varsity footbali and baseball at Newport Catholic High School. He came to Moeller directly from college.

Final second free throw nets win for JV Sauaws A foul-shot by Holly Rodes with one second remaining in the game enabled the Indian Hill JV Girls' Basketball team to squeak by Loveland, 22-21, Wednesday, December 17. Rodes was fouled with the score tied at 21 apiece and the Squaws in the bonus situation. Captain Karen Kreis led all Squaws' scoring with eleven. Fine defensive play in the second quarter boosted the Squaws to a 21-14 victory over Marian, Monday, December 12. The defense held Marian without a point while the offense added nine to end the first half at 15-4. Teresa Buchman had seven points to lead the JV. The JV was beaten by a powerful Madeira team, 40-16, Thursday, December 11. Holly Rodes led the Squaws' scoring with eight. Rodes scored 11 of the JV's 15 points as they lost a defensive battle, 19-15, to Deer Park, Thursday, December 4. The JV Squaws squandered a 14-14 tie at the half to lose to Milford, 34-25, Tuesday, December 2. Holly Rodes led the Squaws' scoring w@ nine and Karen Kreis followed closely with eight.

Kane to lead JV wrestling squad by Chad Smith The Indian Hill Varsity Wrestling team frnished last in the Sycarnore Quadrangular, Thursday, December 11. Glen Este and Lovehnd also participated. The squad squeaked by Taylor, 36-14, Friday, December 5. The Indian Hill Reserve Wrestling team is looking for a fine sea-

son under new coach Ty Kane. Coach Kane, who was a wrestler himself, has done a fine job in coaching the team according to its members. The squad needs a larger group of wrestlers in order to fiu all the weight classes. Also, most of the wrestlers are in their frrst year of

wrestling. All of the JV meets are scrimages except for the Purcell Invitational and the EHL Tournament, which take place in late January and early February. There will be six scrimmages this season.

COLISEUM continued from page 1 with a resolution demanding equal enforcement of the law, fvhich he then submitted to city council for approval. Mann was amazed when the initial proposal was rejected on a 5 4 decision. Why the refusal? With a trace of disgust in his voice, Mayor Mann explained that the council thought they "shouldn't get into it," that it was a matter best left for the police to deal with. Eater, the council considered the proposal again and agreed to pass it, provided that a paragraph be added asserting that the council had no desire to control or regulate police action. In effect, said Wardheimer, city council accepted the bill as a "sentiment," a "moral obligation," rather than a call for direct action. "I was willing to sacrifice that much to get the resolution passed," said Mann. According t o Mann, "We had two choices in enforcing the law equally-we could either crack down on tailgating parties at football games as well as at rock concerts, or we could opt for not hassling anyone." The sharp decline in alcohol-related arrests at the Coliseum shows that the latter route was taken and that police seem t o be cooperating with the plan. Is the plan working? "That's my impression," observed Mann. "I'm satisfied with the way things are going now."

CHEATING continued from page 5

'

classes that give me a lot of trouble." As an example, he said he occasionally scribbles a formula on his desk or writes a "cheat sheet," since he doesn't believe he should have to memorize them all. "It's really just a backup, and sometimes' just having written then down helps me remember them." Thus far, he has never been caught. "I'm too careful," he claims. He also claims that cheating doesn't bother him morally at all, though it would depend on the extent of the cheating. "Copying a term paper or walking in with full page of notes up your sleeve is different." Thus, any cheating he does is limited to copying answers t o objective type questions during tests, and he usually has no problem obtaining the cooperation of his classmates. "I may have done it originally without thinking."

That distinction be shared by three shows, "Dallas," 'The Dukes of Hazard," and 'The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo." Each received one-tenth of the vote, so no top dog may be proclaimed. Another significant statistic is the apparent dislike of local programming as compared to net-work fare. Only the freshman class thought local shows better than those produced by the networks, and that preference was only by a slim margin. One reason for this is probably the fact that IH students watch, for the most part, entertainment programs, and the main products of local stations are news and re-runs, Of those who do watch news regularly, most watch channel 5 and NBC. Although many asked for more information and news shows, most IHYersrarely watch these types of shows.

Perhaps the most intruguing aspect of the survey's findings is the seeming contradictions in much of the data. The fact that most of of' the negative comments about television do not agree with the large amount of time spent watching TV. Public sentiment has long been directed against television, and that could explain the apparent embarrassment felt by many students toward their viewing

habits. Possibly, the sociologists are correct in thinking of the television as a great evil. On the other hand, it may only be, as movies, radio, and reading have all been in the past, another of man's escape mechnisms. With the average Indian Hill High School family owning 2.85 TV sets, there is a little chance of the medium's fading out, so there will probably be ample time t o research it in the future.

Grade pressure causes heating

/Hers favor M *A *S *H and NBC by John Lilly Although Indian Hill students are outwardly hostile towards network television, they somehow find time t o watch one and a half hours of TV daily. In a Journalism I survey during the month of November, IH students gave suggestions of ways to improve television ranging from the rational to the incensed ("Shoot the boob tube" being a prime example). Yet Indian Hill students seem to have a love-hate relationship with their television sets. The average student watches one and a half hours of television a day, and he rates the overall quality of the programs he watches as 2.95 on a scale of 1 to 5. Strangely enough, seniors enjoy network programming more than any other class. While many people thought television too childish, the seniors rated national television at 4, and the freshman rated it at 2.3. One topic upon which most agreed, however, was the favorite l% show. "M*A*S*Hn outscored its opponents by a gigantic margin, getting almost four times the vote of the second most popular show, "Soap." And "M* A* S* H" received no "worst" votes, while "Soap" was in the running for dubious top honors in that contest. No one program can take credit for being the absolute worst currently running network show.

by John Ries In a recent Chieftain survey, a majority of Indian Hill teachers responded that there is a cheating problem at Indian Hill. One commented that just a single case constitutes a problem, but some may see it happen every day, and for all their efforts to stop it, cheating persists. Why do students cheat? "People get away with it, and they get better grades that the people who study," commented senior Rick Ruskin. Dave Johnson feels the problem stems from pressure for good grades. 'The students are victimized by their classes; more so here than any other school I've seen. There's too much emphasis on grades." According to school psychologist Dr. Barb Rodgers, there are three types of cheaters. There is the student who cheats in order to beat the system. He may be very intelligent, potentially an excellent student, but he doesn't care about grades as much as he values the triumph of breaking the rules. This type of person is likely to be amoral, that is, without any standards, and as such, without any qualms whatsoever about cheating. Then there is the student who finds himself under a great deal of pressure. He studies and works hard, but his grades are simply not what he feels he deserves or what his parents expect. Thus he resorts to cheating. Also, there is the student who finds it easier to cheat than to study; in a word, lazy. These two types are probably the most common, and they feel some sort of guilt, perhaps a great deal, perhaps not. In either case, each feels the need t o hide such feelings and put forth an image, to "be cool." "The only way t o curb cheating is to start in the home environment," said Dr. Rodgers. Schools naturally have a difficult time controlling cheating, since most behavioral patterms and habits, such as those which lead to cheating, are preestablished long before a student enters high school. "Children are affected by very subtle things in the home. They might notice little inconsistencies in their parents actions." Thus, by not presenting a good role model, parents can give their children a means t o rationalize cheating in the future.

Similarly, pressure is often most noticeable from the home. It is surely not a reason for cheating, but it could be considered a primary cause. "It would be nice if kids could tell their parents to 'bug off; let me do my own thing,' but that's almost impossible," commented Dr. Rodgers. Dr. Rodgers feels that pressure from home is indeed stronger at Indian Hill than elsewhere. 'The parents tend to be successful, not only financially, but in many other ways. Whether implied or not, the pressure to live up to one's parents achievements is very great." Whether or not cheating raises the grades on individual tests, it catches up to the student in the long run, according to Dr. Rodgers. She doesn't think it hurts one's morality or causes guilt so much as it leads to bad habits. "They lose to some degree their ability to memorize and concentrate, and they get used to taking the easy way out." Most students who make a habit of cheating are eventually caught, but by the time they are in high school, being caught will probably have very little effect. "It depends on the impact of being caught the first time," said Dr. Rodgers. "If the student is young and impressionable, he has a good chance of being scared out of further cheating." On the toher hand, older students who have formed havits are less likely to be influenced. Much also depends on the teacher, according to Dr. Rodgers. If he attaches little or no importance to a student's cheating, the student will do the same, but if the teacher "makes a big deal out of it, " perhaps informing the students parents, the situation could have a very great effect on the student. It helps if the student respects the teacher. "If handled inappropriately, it could conceivably increase the problem." Not too lond ago, a student half-jokingly said, "I wouldn't have made it into NHS without cheating." This statement may or may not be true, but cheating is a common phenomenon at Indian Hill. This particular student said he cheats on tests fairly often in certain classes, mainly because of pressure for good grades. "It's

found to make a difference. . .I'll have to know the material for exams anyway, so until then I might as well get the best grades possible ." He feels the most pressure from his parents. "They complain when I get a B in physics.

Page 5

I'm satisfied with it but.. ." Originally, he began cheating because he didn't have time to study, but he is no longer as involved as he was, and he seems t o have developed a habit. "I guess now I'm just lazy." "Everybody thinks I cheat a lot more than I actually do," he commented, and indeed, he is not the chronic cheater trying t o beat the system. "1 only cheat in the

see CHEATING, page 8

In order to clarify the point of view of the teachers toward cheating, Chieftain distributed surveys to all high school teachers. The results are 1. Do you think Indian Hill High School has a cheating problem?

2. If you think there is a cheating problem, why do you feel this way? Most teachers feel that seeing cheating or hearing students talk about it is indication of a "problem." One teacher feels that "all schools" have a cheating problem. Reasons cited for the cheating included poor study habits and pressure from home.

3. Have you ever caught anyone cheating? Although only one teacher polled had not caught anyone cheating, he or she admitted having "strong suspicions."

4. If you caught someone cheating, how did you deal with this person(s)? Almost all teachers agreed t o give the cheating student a zero or failing grade. They also often counsel the student and/or notify the

movie review

Grodin goes two for three by Nojh Gipnopt The last three movies I've seen all have something in common, in one way or another. First of all, they all have Charles Grodin in them. This is good. Secondly, they are all comedies, or in the case of one, an attempt at comedy. First off was a sneak preview of Seems Like Old Times, shown with It's My Turn. Both are Rastar productions - produced by Ray Stark. Well, let's get the unpleasantness out of the way first: It's My Turn is one of the most dull and student movies ever made. Avoid it with your life. It's the kind that makes you wonder how movies like this get made when you read about all the great movies that had significant trouble being accepted by a studio. Perhaps one of the reasons it was made is because of the three stars - Jill Clayburgh, Michael Douglas, and Charles Grodin; why they accepted their roles will be one of the great mysteries of cinema history. From the preview I saw of this a few weeks before, I gathered that Jill plays a perfect person

whose Mr. Right is Mr. Wrong, Michael Douglas, although I don't think I would have figured it out otherwise. He plays a baseball player who has nothing in common with Jill, so naturally she falls in love with him. Watching this movie is equivalent to reading a book when you start only looking at the words without grasping anything that's happening. Even the three stars couldn't save this plotless absurdity that fully deserves to be called a flick - a low-class word for a lowclass movie. However, Seems Like Old Times, Neil Simon's newest comedy starring Goldie Hawn, Chevy Chase, and Charles Grodin, puts It's My Turn to shame. It is one of Neil Simon's funniest movies. It involves Chevy, Goldie's ex-husband, who is forced to rob a bank. Goldie and her husband, Charles, are lawyers whose residence is invaded by an unexpected guest, namely Chevy. Goldie is sympathetic and tries to help Chevy, who is now on the lam while Charles wants him to get busted and out of their lives. --- P

+ quantity the House." The lyrics are up to Elvis' standards, but the music doesn't really lend itself' t o his unique brand of vocal phrasing. Side two starts with a classic R and B tune, Van McCoy's "Gettin' Mighty Crowded." With eighteen tracks on this album, this song is totally appropriate. Then, the heartfelt humility of "Hoover Factory," which juxtaposes airy, quirky organ and bass playing with Costello's angst-ridden voice. This contradiction works although the bootleg version on 100,000,000 Elvis Costello Fans Can't Be Wrong is more visceral, and hence better. Next, paranoia rears it head with the superlative "Tiny Steps" Sample: "Tiny steps/You almost feel/Tiny fingers/Almost real/ Make you work/Or make you kneel/'Cause you're almost human/Beneath that/Human heel.") Then, the equally superlative "I don't Want to Go to Chelsea," containing some great hooks, maintains the momentum. All of a sudden, though, the driving force of "Tiny Steps" and "I don't Want to Go to Chelsea" is negated with the lame "Doctor Luther's Assistant." But the beat doesn't stay down for long, due to "Sunday's Best," the tight rhythms of "Crawling t o the U.S.A." and Wednesday Week," which lead up to the last song on the album, "Ghost Train," a blues-inflected, qubky, hookladen closer. When dealing with an album like Elvis Costello's Taking Liberties one realizes the immense variety of music that he has recorded over the years. Taking Liberties affirms that Costello is not just your average myopic rock 'n roller.

Even the three stars couldn't save this plotless absurdity that fully deserves to be called a flick - a low-class word for a lowclass movie. However, Seems Like Old Times, Neil Simon's newest comedy starring Goldie Hawn, Chevy Chase, and Charles Grodin, puts It's My Turn to shame. It is one of Neil Simon's funniest movies. It involves Chevy, Goldie's ex-husband, who is forced to rob a bank. Goldie and her husband, Charles, are lawyers whose residence is invaded by an unexpected guest, namely Chevy. Goldie is sympathetic and tries to help Chevy, who is now on the lam while Charles wants him to get busted and out of their lives. --- P

+ quantity the House." The lyrics are up to Elvis' standards, but the music doesn't really lend itself' t o his unique brand of vocal phrasing. Side two starts with a classic R and B tune, Van McCoy's "Gettin' Mighty Crowded." With eighteen tracks on this album, this song is totally appropriate. Then, the heartfelt humility of "Hoover Factory," which juxtaposes airy, quirky organ and bass playing with Costello's angst-ridden voice. This contradiction works although the bootleg version on 100,000,000 Elvis Costello Fans Can't Be Wrong is more visceral, and hence better. Next, paranoia rears it head with the superlative "Tiny Steps" Sample: "Tiny steps/You almost feel/Tiny fingers/Almost real/ Make you work/Or make you kneel/'Cause you're almost human/Beneath that/Human heel.") Then, the equally superlative "I don't Want to Go to Chelsea," containing some great hooks, maintains the momentum. All of a sudden, though, the driving force of "Tiny Steps" and "I don't Want to Go to Chelsea" is negated with the lame "Doctor Luther's Assistant." But the beat doesn't stay down for long, due to "Sunday's Best," the tight rhythms of "Crawling t o the U.S.A." and Wednesday Week," which lead up to the last song on the album, "Ghost Train," a blues-inflected, qubky, hookladen closer. When dealing with an album like Elvis Costello's Taking Liberties one realizes the immense variety of music that he has recorded over the years. Taking Liberties affirms that Costello is not just your average myopic rock 'n roller.

COLISEUM continued from page 1 with a resolution demanding equal enforcement of the law, fvhich he then submitted to city council for approval. Mann was amazed when the initial proposal was rejected on a 5 4 decision. Why the refusal? With a trace of disgust in his voice, Mayor Mann explained that the council thought they "shouldn't get into it," that it was a matter best left for the police to deal with. Eater, the council considered the proposal again and agreed to pass it, provided that a paragraph be added asserting that the council had no desire to control or regulate police action. In effect, said Wardheimer, city council accepted the bill as a "sentiment," a "moral obligation," rather than a call for direct action. "I was willing to sacrifice that much to get the resolution passed," said Mann. According t o Mann, "We had two choices in enforcing the law equally-we could either crack down on tailgating parties at football games as well as at rock concerts, or we could opt for not hassling anyone." The sharp decline in alcohol-related arrests at the Coliseum shows that the latter route was taken and that police seem t o be cooperating with the plan. Is the plan working? "That's my impression," observed Mann. "I'm satisfied with the way things are going now."

classes that give me a lot of trouble." As an example, he said he occasionally scribbles a formula on his desk or writes a "cheat sheet," since he doesn't believe he should have to memorize them all. "It's really just a backup, and sometimes' just having written then down helps me remember them." Thus far, he has never been caught. "I'm too careful," he claims. He also claims that cheating doesn't bother him morally at all, though it would depend on the extent of the cheating. "Copying a term paper or walking in with full page of notes up your sleeve is different." Thus, any cheating he does is limited to copying answers t o objective type questions during tests, and he usually has no problem obtaining the cooperation of his classmates. "I may have done it originally without thinking."

That distinction be shared by three shows, "Dallas," 'The Dukes of Hazard," and 'The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo." Each received one-tenth of the vote, so no top dog may be proclaimed. Another significant statistic is the apparent dislike of local programming as compared to net-work fare. Only the freshman class thought local shows better than those produced by the networks, and that preference was only by a slim margin. One reason for this is probably the fact that IH students watch, for the most part, entertainment programs, and the main products of local stations are news and re-runs, Of those who do watch news regularly, most watch channel 5 and NBC. Although many asked for more information and news shows, most IHYersrarely watch these types of shows.

Perhaps the most intruguing aspect of the survey's findings is the seeming contradictions in much of the data. The fact that most of of' the negative comments about television do not agree with the large amount of time spent watching TV. Public sentiment has long been directed against television, and that could explain the apparent embarrassment felt by many students toward their viewing

habits. Possibly, the sociologists are correct in thinking of the television as a great evil. On the other hand, it may only be, as movies, radio, and reading have all been in the past, another of man's escape mechnisms. With the average Indian Hill High School family owning 2.85 TV sets, there is a little chance of the medium's fading out, so there will probably be ample time t o research it in the future.

Grade pressure causes heating

/Hers favor M *A *S *H and NBC by John Lilly Although Indian Hill students are outwardly hostile towards network television, they somehow find time t o watch one and a half hours of TV daily. In a Journalism I survey during the month of November, IH students gave suggestions of ways to improve television ranging from the rational to the incensed ("Shoot the boob tube" being a prime example). Yet Indian Hill students seem to have a love-hate relationship with their television sets. The average student watches one and a half hours of television a day, and he rates the overall quality of the programs he watches as 2.95 on a scale of 1 to 5. Strangely enough, seniors enjoy network programming more than any other class. While many people thought television too childish, the seniors rated national television at 4, and the freshman rated it at 2.3. One topic upon which most agreed, however, was the favorite l% show. "M*A*S*Hn outscored its opponents by a gigantic margin, getting almost four times the vote of the second most popular show, "Soap." And "M* A* S* H" received no "worst" votes, while "Soap" was in the running for dubious top honors in that contest. No one program can take credit for being the absolute worst currently running network show.

by John Ries In a recent Chieftain survey, a majority of Indian Hill teachers responded that there is a cheating problem at Indian Hill. One commented that just a single case constitutes a problem, but some may see it happen every day, and for all their efforts to stop it, cheating persists. Why do students cheat? "People get away with it, and they get better grades that the people who study," commented senior Rick Ruskin. Dave Johnson feels the problem stems from pressure for good grades. 'The students are victimized by their classes; more so here than any other school I've seen. There's too much emphasis on grades." According to school psychologist Dr. Barb Rodgers, there are three types of cheaters. There is the student who cheats in order to beat the system. He may be very intelligent, potentially an excellent student, but he doesn't care about grades as much as he values the triumph of breaking the rules. This type of person is likely to be amoral, that is, without any standards, and as such, without any qualms whatsoever about cheating. Then there is the student who finds himself under a great deal of pressure. He studies and works hard, but his grades are simply not what he feels he deserves or what his parents expect. Thus he resorts to cheating. Also, there is the student who finds it easier to cheat than to study; in a word, lazy. These two types are probably the most common, and they feel some sort of guilt, perhaps a great deal, perhaps not. In either case, each feels the need t o hide such feelings and put forth an image, to "be cool." "The only way t o curb cheating is to start in the home environment," said Dr. Rodgers. Schools naturally have a difficult time controlling cheating, since most behavioral patterms and habits, such as those which lead to cheating, are preestablished long before a student enters high school. "Children are affected by very subtle things in the home. They might notice little inconsistencies in their parents actions." Thus, by not presenting a good role model, parents can give their children a means t o rationalize cheating in the future.

Similarly, pressure is often most noticeable from the home. It is surely not a reason for cheating, but it could be considered a primary cause. "It would be nice if kids could tell their parents to 'bug off; let me do my own thing,' but that's almost impossible," commented Dr. Rodgers. Dr. Rodgers feels that pressure from home is indeed stronger at Indian Hill than elsewhere. 'The parents tend to be successful, not only financially, but in many other ways. Whether implied or not, the pressure to live up to one's parents achievements is very great." Whether or not cheating raises the grades on individual tests, it catches up to the student in the long run, according to Dr. Rodgers. She doesn't think it hurts one's morality or causes guilt so much as it leads to bad habits. "They lose to some degree their ability to memorize and concentrate, and they get used to taking the easy way out." Most students who make a habit of cheating are eventually caught, but by the time they are in high school, being caught will probably have very little effect. "It depends on the impact of being caught the first time," said Dr. Rodgers. "If the student is young and impressionable, he has a good chance of being scared out of further cheating." On the toher hand, older students who have formed havits are less likely to be influenced. Much also depends on the teacher, according to Dr. Rodgers. If he attaches little or no importance to a student's cheating, the student will do the same, but if the teacher "makes a big deal out of it, " perhaps informing the students parents, the situation could have a very great effect on the student. It helps if the student respects the teacher. "If handled inappropriately, it could conceivably increase the problem." Not too lond ago, a student half-jokingly said, "I wouldn't have made it into NHS without cheating." This statement may or may not be true, but cheating is a common phenomenon at Indian Hill. This particular student said he cheats on tests fairly often in certain classes, mainly because of pressure for good grades. "It's

found to make a difference. . .I'll have to know the material for exams anyway, so until then I might as well get the best grades possible ." He feels the most pressure from his parents. "They complain when I get a B in physics.

Page 5

I'm satisfied with it but.. ." Originally, he began cheating because he didn't have time to study, but he is no longer as involved as he was, and he seems t o have developed a habit. "I guess now I'm just lazy." "Everybody thinks I cheat a lot more than I actually do," he commented, and indeed, he is not the chronic cheater trying t o beat the system. "1 only cheat in the

In order to clarify the point of view of the teachers toward cheating, Chieftain distributed surveys to all high school teachers. The results are 1. Do you think Indian Hill High School has a cheating problem?

2. If you think there is a cheating problem, why do you feel this way? Most teachers feel that seeing cheating or hearing students talk about it is indication of a "problem." One teacher feels that "all schools" have a cheating problem. Reasons cited for the cheating included poor study habits and pressure from home.

3. Have you ever caught anyone cheating? Although only one teacher polled had not caught anyone cheating, he or she admitted having "strong suspicions."

4. If you caught someone cheating, how did you deal with this person(s)? Almost all teachers agreed t o give the cheating student a zero or failing grade. They also often counsel the student and/or notify the

by Richard Stndling Monday, December 15 marked the beginning of Moeller High School's winter football program. S&cely four weeks after its sekson ended, Moeller's football machine started up again, demonstrating the size and strength the program carries. Wednesday, December 3, that program underwent some changes as thirty-five year-old Ted Bacigalupo was hired as head coach replacing Gerry Faust. Bacigalupo (pronounced botcheega-loop-oh) says fans can expect few changes in the basics of the program but that there will be changes in the football staff. These changes are, as of yet, undecided. There are a few critics that say that Faust's leaving marks the de-

cline of Moeller football. Bacigalupo denounces these rumors by saying that within the program there is not intention of decline. "People will have to tell us what decline is," he beamed. 'We will let the results speak for themselves." Bacigalupo has been at Moeller as a coach for thirteen years, the last four working with the varsity linebackers. "I feel I was chosen as head coach because of my knowledge of the program," he said, "both on offense and defense." The Xavier University graduate played three years of varsity footbali and baseball at Newport Catholic High School. He came to Moeller directly from college.

Hern points to persona/ reasons as Aqua-squaws win tri-meet over cause of retirement from coaching Madeira, Mercy by Kurt Dusterberg The Indian Hill football program fell into a deeper hole when Cliff Hern announced his retirement as head coach of the varsity football team. The official announcement was made at a Board of Education meeting December 3. Just weeks before, Jim Stacey quit his post as head J V coach, which leaves the athletic department looking for two coaches to fill the positions. Hern, who compiled an 18-284 record in five years at Indian Hill,said his reasons for stepping down were personal, and he felt it simply was time for a change. "I didn't want to make just emotional decision," Hern said. "It was a progressive one. I wanted to evaluate where the Indian Hill football program was going." "I first stated giving it serious thought after the Deer Park game when we lost, 7-0. That's when I

Hern pointed to a "renewal of tradition and dedication by the players" as part of the way the football program could back on its feet again. "We need a strong off-season weight program," he explained. All the good teams have one. Football takes year-round dedication. We just don't have enough." The 198O for was very discouraging. During his days at Indian Hill, the team had a winning tradition and good seasons. In 1962, Hern scored 121 points alone. This season, the entire offense managed just 48 points. Hern will continue to teach at Indian Hill and be the head coach of the junior high track team, but he left the door open for the future. "If the right situation comes up, yes, I'd get back into football. It would have to be a job I want and one I could grow into."

Every year when the holiday season comes around, we are deluged with television holiday specials ranging from cartoons to "An Opryland Christmas." We are also subjected to what seems like a million commercials for gifts to help celebrate the holidays. The question arises, have Christmas and Chanukah become too commercialized? Is the spirit of Christmas being wrapped up in a cardboard box with shiny silver paper and yards of red ribbon? To some people the meaning of Christmas or Chanukah may be only to receive gifts. Their main chore for December is to flip through the Talbot's catalogue or take a trip to Kenwood to get ideas for an elaborate list of gifts which they plan to find under the tree Christmas morning. To an extent, we are all guilty of this attitude. At times we become overly concerned with ourselves how WE feel, what WE want. What is important, though, is the degree to which we carry this selfishness. The holidays were initiated as a celebration of religion, and to most this religious feeling remains a part of the celebration. To many others, though, the meaning of the holidays transcends the religious significance. Christmas and Chanukah provide for them an opportunity to show their love and concern for those around them. These people think less about themselves and concentrate on attempts to spread happiness among their friends and family. The giving attitude, which intensifies in the holiday season, has expanded to all twelve months at Indian Hill over the past few years. Concerned students, teachers, administrators and community members have joined together to develop programs exemplifying their concerns for others. The Peer Counseling Program is just one example of projects undertaken by unselfish students and faculty to reach out to others. Student Government has also done its part by sponsoring weekly orphanage visits. NOW it is our turn to reach out and exhibit the Christmas spirit. Acquiring a "give to" attitude doesn't mean that vou must join some tvpe - of volunteer organization - it only implies forgetting about yourself and taking an interest in those around you. The holiday season generates a feeling of camaraderie and There is no better time than the Yuletide festivities to reach out to your friends and your family, .L

That we need stricter laws concerning hand guns? That public figures are no longer safe in our society? That all men are mortals? Or perhaps mast ominous of all - that we are gradually becoming desensitized as a result of the constant violence that surrounds us? Maybe some or all of these things are true. Personally, I grieve for the

Selfishly, I grieve in the loss I feel knowing that my dream, a s well as that of millions of others, of seeing the SeatIes together just one more time will never b e re' alized. Now that Lennon is gone we wa have t o console ourselves with those things he has left us, and that will be some consolation indeed, for no assasin will ever b e able t o destroy the thoughts, melodies and memories John Lennon created and gave t o us.

Liz Laichas lays off the checkbook

by Rtck Ruskin One of the more recent additions to the IH teaching staff, is Liz Laichas. Mrs. Laichas first came t o Indian Hill as a substitute in the math department in 1979, and has been under full contract for the past two years. "I like it here," stated Mrs. Laichas, fondly called "Fluffy" by her students. 'The teachers are friendly, and the kids are a lot friendlier than when we were in high school." Mrs. Laichas has also taught at Anderson Junior High and Northwest High School. Here at IH she teaches Math 111, Advanced Math and Geometry. Unlike the popular stereotype of math teachers, Mrs. Laichas does not enjoy the basic counting activities which are so very important in today's society. "I never touch a checkbook," she revealed, "and I don't like to keep score at card games. Although, I don't mind keeping bowling scores."

When she's not at school or worrying about strikes and spares, Mrs. Laichas spends the majority of her free time with her two children, Josh and Sarah (Little Fluffy). The Christmas Holiday is one of Mrs. Laichas' favorite times to be with her children. One reason is that she and her husband Bill get to try all the games. It's not unusual when the Laichas children have gone to bed, for Liz and Bill to play a few exciting rounds of "Hungry, Hungry Hippos," or to hear the "Star Wars" theme echoing through their Hyde Park hallways. When not spending time with her kids, Mrs. laichas likes to extend herself in a number of activities. She enjoys needlework and racquetball but for the past two years Mrs. Laichas has had her "Y-fads." Last year it was nautilus at the Blue Ash YMCA and this year it's aerobic dancing. "It's fun and I really enjoy it,"

L8k.a~ insbuct~her chss on the mathematical probablities of winning "Hungry, H u m Hippo&" she said, revealing that next year she "might just try running." Basically, Liz Laichas is a dynamic person. "I like to do things and do them well," she relayed. "I would like to do something important with my life; make a small mark on society." "Most of all," she stated, "I'd like to have my kids grow up to be nice. Nowadays, it's hard to keep them on the right track."

We all know that the period following Christmas break is often pretty dreary. However, Student Government has several activities planned for that time slot which can hopefully lend some relief to the lives of I.H. students. On January 28, the Forum Committee will sponsor its second forum of the school year. The first forum was the showing of "Hooper", a definite success. This time, a rock concert, featuring the band Powerplay, is the scheduled event. Powerplay is a well-known area band that has played at places such as Bogart's, so we exets pectwill a be lively $1 apiece performance. and theTickprocceds will be usec! to buy necessary and updated equipment for the Tech Crew. The first week of February will bring Winter Homecoming, sponsored by the senior class. Another "Pep Week", similar to that prior to Fall Homecoming, is scheduled and should breathe some spirit into the students of I.H. Once again, the week will culminate with a full-period pep rally, sponsored by the Activity Committee. The dance itself is tentatively scheduled to be held at Livingston Lodge, a welcomed change, although plans have not been finalized. No matter where the dance is held, the time is here to start considering dates. For now, however, I would just like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

'Berserk' Braves romp t o six straight by Chris Schmalz "GO berserk," was Coach West's fourth quarter advice to the JV Braves, who were slightly ahead of the visiting Turpin Spartans. West's advice obviously had its positive effects, as the Braves pulled out their sixth straight win, 67-60. Jim Morgan was a powerful force in last Tuesday night's game, as he scored his season high 21 points while also bringing down seven rebounds. The Braves trailed the Spartans, 6-4, early in the first quarter 1 when Turpin's 6'4" sophomore 1 John Kushner started swishing base line jumpers to up Turpin's lead to a romping 12-4. But the Braves battled back with help from Dave Davis, who had fourteen points and seven rebounds. Jim Morgan and Jim Arnold helped bring the first quarter final to 14-12 in Turpin's favor. Arnold, who had 15 points, sparked the Braves to their first lead as they took control, 24-17, early in the second quarter. Midway through the second quarter Jeff Smith bumped into a Spartan player and was charged with a foul. His momentum forced him to complete the pass he was making after the whistle blew. The referee felt that Smith was delaying the game by not giving the ball to him and issued Smith a technical foul. Fortunately, Turpin could only connect on one of those four 'foul shots and the Braves led, 31-30, st the half. Dave "Mad Bomber" Havlovic, who scored 12 points and cupped five rebounds, made many of his outside shots to spurt the Braves' lead to 46-40 entering the final quarter. "Our defense did it for us," related Jim Arnold of the Spartan's unsuccessful final surge to take the lead as the Braves went on to win, 67-60. A humble Jim Morgan commented after the game, "We're just a great ball club."

The JV Braves took sole possession of first place Friday, December 12, by defeating the visiting Madeira Mustangs, 66-60. The Braves started off strong, led by Dave Havlovic and Jim Morgan, who each had 19 points. The Braves played well throughout the first quarter, tak-

ing a 15-0 lead over the Mustangs. Madeira's 6'0" sophomore Jeff Homer, who led all scoring with 23 points, rallied Madeira to within one point, 29-28, at the half. In the third quarter the Braves began to pick up a fast tempo and slowly began pulling away, 51-46. "Either team could have won, but we played better defense and had better offensive execution in the fourth quarter," commented Coach West. Dave Davis, who had 14 points and 4 rebounds, shot 83% from the field to bolster the Braves' play in the fourth quarter. Another substantial reason for the Braves' victory was their 70% field shooting success, compared to Madeira's 47%. "We out hustled them," was Todd Goldman's reply as to why the JV Braves beat Forest Park by 20 points. THe Braves improved their tecord to 4-1 with a 66-46 win over the visisting Chargers, Saturday, December 6. "Again we had four guys in double figures, and a good hard defensive press," commented Coach West. Dave Havlovic, who suffered a twisted ankle in the third quarter, lead all scoring with 17 points, and snatched five rebounds. Jim Morgan controlled the boards with ten rebounds, while also hitting fifteen points. Jeff Smith added 13 points, seven of those coming at the foul line. The Braves played well throughout the first half, building up a substancial lead, taking a 3322 advantage to the lockeroom at half time. The second half was marked by the Braves' outbursts in scoring and good defensive play. "Sixty-six points is an unusually high number for a JV team which only plays seven minute quarters," related Coach West. The Braves continued their winning streak, smashing the Deer Park Wildcats 62-46, for their second straight league victory and third win overall Friday, December 5. Jim Morgan dominated play with his game high of 15 points and 8 rebounds. Dave Havlovic had a good showing, making 14 points and also pulling down 8 rebounds. Jim Arnold and Dave

Davis sunk 10 points each. The Braves played well through the first and second quarters and were up by ten at the half, 32-22. Todd Goldman commented, "We had a good half-time talk from Coach West, which inspired us to better play." Coach West's half-time talk obviously had a positive effect, as the Braves kept adding to their lead, making the third quarter score 48-33. "We had a real super job from the whole team, not to mention the four guys in double figures," said Coach West.

The JV Basketball Braves upped their record to 1-1 by defeating the Finneytown Wildcats, 59-58, in overtime. Dave Davis played well, scoring 14 points and pulling down , nine rebounds. Dave Havlovic had 14 points, and Jay Kohls added 1 0 to bolster the Braves' scoring attack. The Braves jumped t o an early lead in the first quarter, domi- ' hating Finneytown, 20-10. The Wildcats battled back to close the ' gap to six at the half, led by Finneytown's Bryan Buddy's game high 21 points. "We were way ahead at one time and should have put the game away," said Dave Havlovic. The Braves could not add t o their lead in the third quarter and Finneytown played tough, the score 4540, going into the final quarter. Finneytown tied the Braves, 54-54, in the closing minutes t o send the game into overtime. Jim Morgan led the Braves t o an overtime victory with four points, and Dave Havlovic added one to make the final score 59-58. "It felt good to win in overtime and show that our team can play with courage on an away court," said Coach West.

JV Braves' Jim Arnold goes for the rebound against three Madeira opponents. The Braves chalked up wctory number two by crushing the Milford Eagles, 56-43, Wednesday, December 3. In the closing seconds of the first quarter, sophomore Jim Arnold swished a controversial 55-footer, but the referee ruled that the ball was shot after the buzzer. . Dave Havlovic had 17 points to lead the Braves in scoring, and Jim Morgan added 12 t o boost the offense. The first half was dominated by the Braves' strong shooting, as they sank 37 points compared to the Eagles' 23. The Braves kept building their lead in the third and fourth quarters, making the final score 56-43. "We really took it t o 'em and didn't let up," said Dave Davis, commenting on the Braves' aggressive play.

senior sketch Seniors every year learn, via the great philosophers, of Man's search for the just society. From Socrates' time in ancient Greece to the present, the meaning and establishment of justice have pre-occupied men, and the founders of our own country set as one of their goals "to establish justice." In fact, every day questions arise, trivial and monumental, pertaining to the existence of justice, or lack thereof - "that's not fair," "give me a fair chance," "you're being unjust." We speak of justice all the time, but nobody knows what it means. Students will naturally speak of justice on a smaller scale than perhaps Jefferson, but the roots of a just society, whatever the definition of "just," are not only in its Constitution or its senators or its President, but also in the people. The concept of punishment may well be the most pertinent facet of justice, at least to US now. Our school, for instance, has several methods of punishment: grades (zero for the day), detention, calling parents, Saturday Study, suspension and finally We grant that each of these punishments Can be effective if used properly and at the proper time. ]For instance, every student knows someone to whom grades are not at all important. What, then, would be the value of giving that student a Zero for the day as punishment for not doing homework? One could conceivably argue that students will if the grade-conscious student gets a zero for - not doing homework while the student not concerned a b ~ u tgrades gets a detention. And we concede that most likely, people that One of the two students was treated more fairly than the other. The solution lies in our own concepts of iustice and punishment. The reason for punishing is, and must remain, to help the student grow and learn from the experience. Only as a last resort should punishment be used as pure punishment, that the student should not feel he got off " S C O ~ free." In accordance with this ideal, it is not the duty of the administration - or anyone who decides punishment. includingi our courts - to deal equally with every student, but to prescribe punishments as "equity" would dictate. "Equity ," not "equality," should be the goal of our school and everother school. Too often teachers and administrators lose sight of the true purpose of giving punishment. Instead of making the punishment appropriate for the occasion and the student so that it becomes a learning technique, they stick to rules that, though intended as guidelines, were not meant to be rigidly - - adhered to. The result is, of course, a group of frustrated students who were improperly punished and may learn from the -

.

.

V

experience. . .the wrong lesson. It is probable that instead of being taught to respect others, such students will learn to flee the reins of any dominating figure and resent what the faculty, the administration, the government represent. Basically, we suggest that though the writing of the Discipline Code and the implementation of Saturday Study give the student a better idea of, and a fairer chance with, the discipline regulation, justice should really reach beyond the page and into the individuality of each student and each case. Punishment can be used negatively, as a destroyer of character, or positively, as a builder of growth - i t is the choice of those who administer it.

J o h n e n n0 n Rock and Roll legacy by Mr. Steve Strider One of the most popular units we teach in our ~ i n e r a lMusic classes is a presentation on the Beatles. Most students, although they don't remember the Beatles during the actual years of their POP~'="~Y(1964-1970), are very receptive to their music. They are fascinated by the McCartney hoax and subsequent

geous "Why Don't We Do It In The Road?" is truly awesome. The Beatles seemed to be able to do anything. When it looked as though they might be going off the deep end with something like "Tomorrow Never Knows," they would turn around and bowl US over with a straight ahead rocker . like ' c o t T~ Get you Into MY Life."

I've had a love affair with the Beafles from the very beginning. My favorite Beatle albums are Meet the Beatles, Revolver, The White Album, and Abbey Road. sometimes I throw in a little

TO me, the most important contribution the Beatles made with their music was the revec~ tability that Rock and R O received as a result of the depth, both musically and lyrically, of their songs. P o p u h es-

~ e f is f rock 'oriented' by Doug Freeman When asked to describe himself, Jeff Pedigo replied, with all due humor, "Yapanese!" Such sarcastic humor typifies this easygoing senior. Coming from a financially "oriented" family, Jeff hopes to study electrical engineering at Lehigh University and is anxiously awaiting to hear if he has been accepted there. Leading a very busy life, Jeff proclaims, "I like to participate and get involved in school activities." Schoolwork, student government, sports, and music take up the bulk of his time. Just recently inducted into NHS, Jeff has risen in intelluctual status and jokingly replies, "I guess that means now I am a certified wedge !" Presently senior class treasurer , Jeff spends a lot of time in student government activities. Besides "swindling" a few hundred bucks to help the senior class budget, he is on the SG Service Committee and is one of the major reasons for the success of the weekly orphanage visits. In addition, Jeff enjoys soccer because "it's a fast paced sport

with a lot of action." His love for the sport can be seen through the skill with which he plays if, and he won the Varsity soccer MVP award and allleague honors. Sharing his soccer skills with younger kids, Jeff works within the SAY soccer program. Jeff also runs hurdles in which he has performed admirably in past years. Playing the guitar is one of Jeff's other forms of relaxation. Listening and playing to his favorite rock performers (Led Zepplin, Van Halen, and Jimi Hendrix). Jeff says, "Rock gets me really rowdy - you know what I mean. . .?" Jeff plans to continue his guitar playing and prophesizes, "Give me another twenty yeais and I'll sound like Eric Clapton." (Good luck, Jeff). Jeff also spends much time working as a valuable member of the Legend staff. Indeed his wits and dedication add to the effectiveness of the yearbook. Certainly, Jeff s dedication will prove rewarding and his future will undoubtedly be successful. . . if by then his brains aren't plastered from stopping soccer balls with face.

Annette pirouettes her w a y towards iournolism by David Johnson "I11 type anybody's paper!" This appealing proposition most likely takes up much of senior Annette Theuring's time during Position Paper Week. When her fingers aren't dancing on the keys, she is usually perfecting her favorite dance routine. Having taken dance lessons for six years, in addition to several stints as the teacher, Annette combines her love of dance with a strong journalistic background to fill her senior days. Annette feels her dancing abilities were strengthened most significantly during a dance camp she attended in Jacksonville, Florida, where she was able to teach and ''to get exposed to different kinds of dance." Adding to the excitement at the dance camp, Annette shared a room with an actress who was given a chance to perform a role on the TV show Happy Days- One can expect to see Annette poised on stage when the curtain rises at this year's Pow-WowNow undecided about her future at college, Annette formerly leaned towards a journalism major at Northwestern or New York University. She now takes a jonrnalissn course and often

writes for Chieftain; her most recent article includes an interview with Cincinnati mayor David Mann. Having finished two years on the flag corps as captain and looking forward very much to this year's Pow-Wow, Annette has been an avid supporter of Indian Hill's music department. Dabbling in piano and clarinet, Annette became interested in the flag corps through the band and won several ribbons in competition at flag camp this summer. Calling her trip to Spain a year ago her "most exciting experience," Annette enjoys travelling as a reprieve from the rigor of the Indian Hill schedule. In her free time, Annette enjoys trying new things; this summer, she learned to sky-dive, an experience she will long remember. In addition, taking care of her cat "Buddy" helps her to relax from position papers and other pressures on seniors. With her strong academic background (National Merit SemiFinalist, Yale University Book Award) and her dancing talent, Annette Theuring strikes a balance between intellectual and physical exercises.

Non-league games hurt Braves by Dwight Poffenberger The Indian Hill Varsity Boys' Basketball team lost a non-league contest, 76-70, Wednesday, December 16 against Turpin. Before a sparse home crowd, the Braves dropped their overall record to 3 4 . The Braves jumped out to a quick 8-2 lead but had. trouble holding it. At the end of the first quarter, the Braves' 16-11 lead diminished to a 17-16 deficit. The Braves had fits trying to conquer a tough halfcourt trap by Turpin, but managed to regain the lead a minute into the second quarter. The Braves then opened their largest lead of the night, 26-21, on accurate passing by Sandy Geier and Ward Morgan's two free throws and field goal. Before the half had ended, Turpin snuck into a 34-30 lead. In the third quarter, the Braves managed to stay close, thanks to the leadership of senior Bob Ulmer, who ended the game with 30 points. The third quarter ended with the Braves trailing by six, 49-55. The Braves managed to play Turpin evenly the fourth quarter, but could not pick up the extra needed points. Coach Dale McKibben commented later, "It was a poor effort on our part."

Braves bounce Mustangs The varsity basketball team remained undefeated in league play this year by beating Madeira, 8268, at Indian Eill Friday, December 12. The victory brought the Brave's EHL record to 3-0 and 3-3 overall. Senior Ward Morgan's three point play early in the first quarter helped the Braves jump out to a quick 7-0 lead. An aggressive Braves' defense prevented the Mustangs from taking many shots early but with 2:35 remaining in the first quarter, Madeira pulled even, 11-11. The first quarter ended in a deadlock, 20-20. Led by Chip Sudbrack's 14 first-half points, the Braves went into the locker room deadlocked, 4242. Madeira jumped ahead to start the second half, 4844, but Sandy Geier and Bob Ulmer took the Braves into the lead, 56-60, with 2 5 7 remaining in the third quarter. The Braves quickly lost their

lead when a technical foul was called after a regular foul by Chip Sudbrack. The Braves' rebounding and defensive zone kept them ahead most of the final quarter. Witn 2:21 left, Sudbrack fouled out, but juniors Terry Healey and Dave Hancher made key plays late in the game to secure the victory.

Braves open with win The Braves opened their league play successfully with a 5748 victory Wednesday, December 3 over Milford. The game was played before a surprisingly sparse home crowd. Senior Bob Ulmer helped the Braves open up a 13-0 lead by scoring 7 of the points. Ulmer's strength under the basket earned him the game high total of 15. A strong Braves defense held the Eagles scoreless for the first 4:38 of the first quarter. Defensive leadership was provided by seniors Sandy Geier, Chip Sudbrack, and Ward Morgan. The Braves' momentum kept flowing until the half en'ded with the Braves leading 35-19. Midway through the third quarter the Braves couldn't find the basketball and Milford edged back to a score of 47-34. Three quick Milford baskets put them back in the game 47-40 but Coach McKibben halted the momentum with a pair of time outs. The Braves offense had trouble handling Milford's zone defense, so they called a four-corner offense to bring Milford into a man-to-man defense. Six straight Milford points after a questional jump call narrowed Indian Hill's lead to four, 5 2-4 8. Junior guard Dave Hancher hit two key free throws to further the Braves lead to 54-48. Key rebounds in the last few minutes by Bob Ulmer and Ward Morgan iced the victory.

Chargers down Braves The Indian Hill squad lost a close non-league contest against Forest Park at home, 52-55, Saturday, December 6. The Braves' record fell to 2-3 overall and 2-0 in the league. The Braves got off to a sluggish start in the first quarter and fell behind 17-11. The Braves' big men had a tough night facing the powerful Forest Park team. Forest Park was deadly with their outside shooting, which accounted for a 32-25 lead at the half. Helped by a pair of buckets by Ward Morgan, Indian Hill's leading scorer with 17, the Braves pulled within one, 34-33, midway through the third quarter. Despite a tough Forest Park zone, the Braves managed to end the third quarter trailing, 46-43. Opening the fourth quarter, Forest Park had no trouble handling the full court press called by Coach McKibben and pulled out in front by a 5 4 4 6 margin. Good defensive hustle by the Braves enabled them to pull within two, 57-55, when time ran out.

IH drops Deer Park The Braves defeated Deer Park, 64-57, at Deer Park, Saturday, December 5. Sandy Geier and Ward Morgan each had six points in the first quarter, but the Braves fell behind, 19-18. Senior Chip Sudbrack threw in nine in the second quarter as the Braves outplayed the Wildcats, 17-12 for a 35-31 halftime lead. Sudbrack, the game's leading scorer, had 21 total points while Ward Morgan added 16 overall. The Braves continued to dominate the game during the third quarter but were outplayed, 16-15, in the fourth. The Braves shot a very respectable 69.6 per cent to a 60 per cent average for Deer Park.

IH DECA operates annual Little w o r l d by Ann Helferich The Indian Hill High School Distributive Education class is sponsoring its ninth annual Christmas Little World. DECA juniors and seniors, with the help of DECA sponsor Mr. Jim Benken, will operate Little World through December 21. Hours are until 8:00 p.m. today and from 12:OO to 5 :00 p.m. tomorrow and Sunday at Madeira's Camargo Station and the Indian Hill Creek Club House. Little World is a store designed for the young shopper (ages 2-12) to purchase Christmas gifts for their relatives and friends. To help the young shoppers fit their limited budgets, DECA class members assist the young shoppers in the choosing of their gifts from merchandise priced from $.50 to $5.00. In addition, The DECA students gift wrap and tag all purchases for the children.

According to Mr. Benken, this year's location at Camargo Station is a definite asset to the project because of its proximity to a retailing center. The location, however, was not easy to come by, as the group did not secure plans for the storefront until the week of Thanksgiving. MI. Benken commented that it is "really tough to find a place." DECA members constructed the cashier's booth and decorations in two weeks to give Little World a holiday atmosphere. DECA sponsors Little World as a class project and all members are required to serve six shifts of two and a half hours. The project counts as 25% of the participants' quarter grades. DECA purchases Little World merchandise from wholesalers. Mr. Benken said that the group hopes to gross $5,000 from two weeks of sales. They expect to

by Annette Theuring Coliseum concert-goers who illegally consume alcoholic beverages in the public arena will find themselves less likely to be arrested than earlier this year because of efforts of Cincinnati's new mayor, David Scott Mann. Instead, police will be looking primarily for illegal drug use. Mann, a tax lawyer, was a key figure in the investigations following the December 3, 1979 'Who' tragedy, when city council member J. Kenneth Blackwell held the1 post of mayor. Blackwell, as part of a massive public safety campaign, had ordered a police crackdown on drug and alcohol abuse at rock concerts, and hundreds of youths were being arrested at

every event. Many members of city council disagreed with Blackwell's move. According to Paul Wardheimer, Public information officer, the feeling of an increasing number of city council members was that, even though the drug and alcohol problem "couldn't be ignored," the huge number of arrests was not solving the safety problem. In a Chieftain interview, David Mann expressed his concern. "I never understood exactly what the point was in making all those arrests," the mayor agreed. "I couldn't see how the eleven deaths related to the crackdown. As far as I am concerned, alcohol abuse had nothing to do with the deaths."

Mann's main concern was not the fact that the public drinking law was finally being enforced, but, rather, that it was not being enforced equally in all cases. Mann found that football fans were often breaking the law in the same manner at Coliseum games. without consequence. "I went to a football game and noticed all the tailgating parties-it struck me that there was a double standard in the law," said Mann. Mann then determinedly launched a campaign directed toward city council advocating equal enforcement of the lawMeanwhile, a policeestablished task force, headed by UC safety director Henry Sandman, was busy compiling a 78-

page recommendation for the prevention of further accidents. Paul Wardheimer, who served as the chief of staff of the task force, explained that the recommendation included crowd management guidelines as well as a suggestion of "fair and equitable law enforcement at all events." Many of the crowd control guidelines contained in the task force analysis, which is available for sale t o the public for seven dollars per copy, have been the basis for two Cincinnati ordinances and an Ohio state law which is presently being reviewed by Governor James Rhodes. In November, David Mann combined his own observations with the recommendations of the task force analysis and came up
