Balanced JV Squaws square record at 7-7 by Kurt Dusterberg After a disappointing season last year, the JV basketball Squaws had nowhere to go but up. This year the team got off to a fast start and now posts a record of 7-7. Coach Suzanne Davis attributes the team's success partly to the fact that there are a few more shooters on this year's team than last. "Lisa Holzman, Mary Granger and Sally Ulrner all are shooting pretty often," Davis said. "Last year, I really only had one or two people who ever shot." The Squaws currently have eleven players. Teresa Buchman will not see any action this season after a knee injury which requires surgery. Sophomore Holly Rodes made the varsity squad, but the team is not lacking a balance of scoring power. Holzman and Granger are number one and two respectively, with 55 and 54 points. Molly Roche has 42, while Karen Kreis and Gretchen Kindel each have 37. , The Squaws have run their record to 4 4 in the Eastern Hills League. They split their two games with Loveland, winning the first one, 23-18, but losing last Thursday, 26-15. "I thought we played a fine game against Sycamore and we played a good second half against Madeira," the second year coach said. They outscored Sycamore by five in the fourth quarter to win, 27-24. The Squaws put two more points on the board than Madeira in the second half, but it was not enough to overcome the team's slow start. Coach Davis had two main goals for herself this year. On her team instruction sheets, she even leaves herself a reminder of them. One such note read: Suzanne - Say positive things, play everybody. This season, both have been easier. "There has been a lot of improvement since the beginning of the year. At first I was hesitant to use any but the first five. Now, I'm not afraid to put everyone in." Still, the Squaws are not without flaw. "It really hurts us when we hack or throw airballs, but we have to just make up for it with a lot of hustle," Davis explained. In preparation for the team's varsity experience, the Squaws work a man-to-man defense which

MUN to debate in D.C. by Charles Wood The Indian Hill Model United Nations Club will depart to Washington, D.C. on February I 1 for the nineteenth session of the North American Invitational Model United Nations. Students from all parts of of the Western Hemisphere will attend the assembly, which is sponsored by Georgetown University, February 11-15. Indian Hill has been fortunate to participate in several of the annual assemblies in past years, and IH's Model U.N. club is recognized as a dependable participant in NAIMUN. This year lndian Hill is representing two delegations from the United Nations. In the General Assembly, the delegation represents Cuba, and for the Economic and Social committee the IHers represent Morocco. For the first time, Indian Hill is also participating in the Inter-Nation Simulation, representing Cuba and Guatemala. In the General Assembly, the students representing Cuba will participate in various committees. Each committee will discuss resolutions on a particular topic concerning international affairs. These committees are the Economic and Financial Cornmittee,

the Political arid Security Comnlitee, and the Social and Humanitarian Committee. The Economic and Social Committee, has the same format as'the General Assembly but different committees and tppics. ECOSOC is made up of various committees that deal with financial and social problems in the world. Some of the committees within ECOSOC are the Committee on Science and Technology, the Human Rights Committee, and the International Monetary b'und. Also, there are several subcommittees in ECOSOC which deal with more specific international problems such as the question of Palestine. The Inter-Nation Simulation, on the other hand, has no committees. The simulation is a mock international convention where international situations and conflicts are created, which the delegates must resolve through diplomacy. It is set up to be as realistic as possible, and all the niembers must bc well prepared. The students from lndian Hill representing Cuba in the General Assen~bly are Andy Hall, Winn Wells, Rob Ottenjohn, Shanon Meldon, Chip Surkamp, Dan Kramer, and Peter Hug.

As most seniors packed up their books after last week's exams and hopped in their cars to eagerly face the oncoming weekend, they breathed a sigh of relief. "It's finally over," they might have thought. True, first semester exams are over, but some seniors have extended that fact and taken the attitude that the entire year might as well be over also. Such an attitude can only generate an atmosphere of apathy that this school most certainly does not need. With their last scan-tron mark, or essay paragraph, seniors have essentially closed the grade book on their high school careers. They will learn their final class rank; most college applications are in; and the last "exam week" is now over. Nevertheless, senior year is only half over: a whole new semester of papers, tests, and projects lie ahead. It may be difficult for seniors to find motivation to keep working hard the .rest of the year. -Ifowever, we must, as righteous as it might sound, retain a positive attitude toward our school and our learning experience. Apathetic attitudes can only make a teacher's job more difficult and increase classroom tensions.

as I see it

Religion vs. politics by John Bergman The conflict between religion and politics is one of the oldest and most hotly debated issues. Most people, including our constitutional forefathers, believe that the two subjects should be kept completely separate. Inevitably, though, there are certain times when the two clash. One such confrontation occurred over the past two weeks. It all started when President Reagan made the "mistake" of ceasing to enforce a policy denying tax-examption to discriminatory religious institutions. Only nondiscriminatory institutions used to be tax-exempt. When Reagan realized his "error," he quickly made it clear to the public that he was going to correct it. At this point, Bob Jones' University comes in to the picture. Bob Jones' University is a very strict parochial college. It allegedly runs all school activities "by the rules of the Bible." The college insists that, according to the rules of the Bible, no student of the college may date a membe~of a different race or religion. Resident Reagan, in the aftermath of his confession, now points to this rule as discriminatory.

"But wait," says Bob Jones and company; "we believe that we are conducting ourselves in the exact manner prescribed by the Bible. If you penalize us for it, you will be taking away part of our religious freedom ." Therein, Bob Jones would have you believe, lie the seeds for a great debate. I do not believe that grounds for debate exist. As I see it, Bob Jones' university, no matter how righteous and moral its followers believe it to be, should not be taxexempt. Just because a group of people chooses to label its discriminatory practices as religion, the group is not entitled to practice discrimination at the expense of society at large. The real question here is not separation of church and state. President Reagan did sot suggest for even a moment thet Bob Jones' University should not be allowed to practice discrimination. He merely said that the vast majority of the citizens of the United States who do not agree with Bob Jones should not have to pick up the tab. Freedom of religion, yes. A free ride for discrimination, no! I whole-heatedly agree.

only have one win in the winning column. I think if we would have pulled off some of those close games, we probably would have held on and beat Madeira." After scoring just 26 points in the first three quarters at Mariemont, the Braves erupted in the fourth quarter to score 24 points and force the game into overtime. Two clutch free throws by Terry Healey in the final seconds of regulation gave the Braves momentum going into sudden death. But, as has been the case a l l year, the Braves could not find quite enough, losing, 59-56. McKibben again pointed t o the Braves' lack of consistency as being the most critical problem facing the team, but now he plans on taking things one day at a time and hoping for the best. "The effort against Madeisa really showed a lot of character in the team. We hope we can play spoiler now and hopefully make a strong showing in the tournament." YOU

Increased tensions will create a stricter learning environment and seniors will lose the academic freedom they attempted to gain by being apathetic. Second semester senior year is also a time during which some students become markedly antagonistic toward their school. As the year winds down, bitter feelings can grow toward an expected release at graduation. Now is the time when seniors might begin to plan their last chance to get back at the school, the senior prank. However, if the class of '82 has not learned the consequences of a destructive senior prank from classes '79 through '8 1, their prank will be more foolish than all the previous ones combined. We are told over and over again, "grades are not everything," and, starting last Monday, they have the least impact for seniors since junior high. However, we are also told that grades are not the most important part of school. While grades diminish in importance, the need to learn and mature in preparation for college or the job market increases greatly. Instead of counting out the seventy-four school days until "it's all over," we must anticipate the time when the exams will get much more difficult, and free time much more precious.

SG Homecoming, computer dating highlight upcoming SG projects

letter from

Dear Fellow Students, The forum last Wednesday, which featured IH's Drama Club, was Student Government's most recent project. The production was a success, and we thank you for attending. The forum committee, however, does need suggestions for the next forum. One idea is having a speaker come, but no definite plans have been made as of yet. The exchange committee has arranged a student exchange with Cincinnati Country Day school for February 3. The sign-ups were held this past week. The IH students will spend the entire day at CCDS learning how a private school is run. Other exchanges will be announced, and the signups will be two weeks before the exchange by the main office. Also .on February 3, there will be a Student Government meeting. The meeting will be at 12:OO in the DECA room, and is open for anyone who wishes to attend. The five class cabinet members from each class (who will be excused), will be contacted this weekend. While the SG representatives read the the announcements from the meeting on February 4 in homeroom, the annual Computer

Dating project will begin. The representative will pass out questionnaires on dating preferences for all students to fill out. These papers are then sent to the computer company, and they match everyone up with their top ten dates in the school. The matched lists will take four to six weeks to return, and then wi3l be sold for $1.50 in the cafeteria. The money collected will go to the Heart Fund. The basketball tournament is also under way. The IH intramural teams have been formed, and the other schools' intramural teams have been invited to participate. The IH intramural teams play every Saturday afternoon in the gym, so if you want to see some basketball action and see which team will be playing in the tournament, go to the IH gym and watch. Not only have the SG committees been busy, but the individual classes have been doing a lot of work and planning too. The sophomores, for example, are selling Braves T-shirts in the cafeteria for $650. The shirts will be on sale through February 12. This is only one of their many

Indian Hill comeback knocks ofl Milford, 50-46; Braves, Aves to duel in Homecoming game by Kurt Dusterberg Revenge will be on the mind of the Braves tonight when they square off against arch rival Sycamore in the 1982 basketball Homecoming game. The Braves dropped a decision to the Aviators, 62-51, earlier this year at Sycamore. The Braves should have some momentum going into the game after fmally making good on one of their second half rushes, beating Milford, 50-46, Wednesday at Milford. Indian Hill trailed by twelve, 33-21, at halftime. But, with only one minute t o play in the half, they trailed by only four. It set the stage for a typical Indian Hill comeback. "At halftime, I told them they were walking home from Milford if they didn't win," cracked '

Coach Dale McKibben. The Braves' coach was not surprised by the comeback win, which upped Indian Hill's record to 2-13. The third quarter made much of the difference, as the Braves outscored the Eagles, 20-5. "All the guys played an outstanding second half. We really had the mental readiness," he said. Terry Healey powered the offense with 21 points, consisting of eight field goals and five foul shots. The Braves failed to tally in the winning column during an important four game homestand, but Indian Hill gave Mariemont and league-leading Madeira a battle to the last seconds. The Brave.s have now lost four games by two points or less or in over time.

"We were emotionally flat against Loveland," Coach McKibben said of the Braves' 59-50 loss. "It takes a lot out of you after you have had close ones like we have." The Braves' toughest loss t o swallow came in a 57-56 barn burner against the Madeira Mustangs. Coming into the game, Madeira was undefeated in league play while Indian Hill was the celler dweller. The Braves dominated play and led by fivewith as little as 1:41 remaining in the game. The Mustangs stole the game when they grabbed a Braves' rebound after Indian Hill missed on a one-andane and hit a short jumper with two seconds left. "People. figure if you are ahead by that much [five] you should be able to win," explained McKibben. "But, it's tough when

Walnut Hills, New Richmond fall to strong IH Aquateam

by Mark Aldendifer The past two swimming meets against Walnut Hills and New Richmond brought two solid victories to the Aquateam. This is just what the team had been looking for in an otherwise losing season. The squad of Rob Gaddis, Mark Aldendifer, Derek Ackerman, and Cliff Wingerter started off the meet against Walnut HiUs with a fust place time of 1:48.06 in the 200 medley relay. This paved the way for Gaddis, who caught fust place in the 200 individual medley with his time of 2:10.15. The 50 freestyle brought in a first from Wingerter with a time of 23: 37, and a second with a 24.72 from Jim Koster. In the 100 butterfly, Ackerman, with a 55.75, grabbed first place, and Wingerter won the 100 freestyle with an even 54 seconds. The grueling 500 freestyle event was fought by Marc Levan, who came in third place. Ackerman took another fust place, this time in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:05. Strong swims also came from Rob McVicker, Tim Schaefer, Greg Morris and Barb Dirvin. The Aquasqauws' medley relay team of Diane Remmel, Kris Brockman, Betsy Weller, and Beth

Wingerter grabbed a time of 2:05.55. Weller swam to first place in the 100 butterfly with a time of 1:04.53. The 100 free brought a first place time of 59.81 to Wingerter, and a second place to Diane Remmell with a 1:01.5 1. Whitney Winn swam the 500 freestyle for the girls in 8: 10.47, which received a second place. Another frrst was landed by Kris Brockman in the 100 breaststroke. Cobering the diving spectrum of the Aquateam's meet against Walnut Hills was Mike Gruber, taking first. Stacey Labahn came in second, and Scott Lyon placed third. After the victory over Walnut Hills, the Aquabraves dunked New Richmond by a score of 1636 at New Richmond. The 200 medley relay, of Gaddis, Lyon, Koster, and Wingerter claimed a first place time of 1:5 3.88. First place times, which ran like a faucet at this meet, were by LeVan, Gaddis, Cliff Wingerter, Ackerman, and the I00 freestyle relay team of LeVan, Ackerman, Lyon, and Morris. The next meet for the girls will be February 2 against Aiken. Full team action will return February 4 against Roger Bacon and Mercy.

disc review

The Cars' newest misses mar by Efbie Herman The Cars' latest album, Shake it up, is a half-hearted attempt by the group to return to the success of their first album, The Cars, but doesn't come close. In recent years, the group has been suffering because their second album, Candy-0, didn't achieve the sales expected. The group seemed to be making positive strides on their t h i ~ dalbum, Panarama, but unfortunately, this is not heard on Shake it up. Side one begins with a song called "Since You Were Gone." The musical arrangement of the song is very good. The lyrics, however, are quite monotonous. In fact, the title is repeated some thirty-two times throughout the song. The second song (the first single off the album) is "Shake it up." This single is doing fairly well on "BilIboard'sY' top 100, but lacks the rough electric sound found on early Cars' singles like "You're All That I Got Tonight" and "Just What I Needed." The next two songs, "I'm not the One" and ''Victim of Love" are the group's attempts at love songs. "I'm not the One" is very good, as the lyrics are mellow and the keyboards are relaxing. These

two elements make the song very listenable, but not exciting. "Victim of Love" is an entirely different story. The lyrics are so repetitious that the song is izritating as well as boring; not to mention the nauseating clapping found on several cuts on the album. Side one ends with a song called "Cruiser," which may have originally been intended to be reggae but turned out to be disco sounding. Side two consists of four songs: "A Dream Away", "This Could be Love", "Think it Over", and "Maybe Baby". Of these, only "This Could be Love" is even worth mentioning. In fact, it almost makes up for the other three songs on the side. "This Could be Love" has the lyrics and erie sound found on earlier Cars' albums, as it could even be considered one their best songs t o date. The Cars seem to have rushed this album, as many songs have good foundations, while others are a waste of vinyl. As a whole, the album rates at about a five, only because you can chew your gum to it.

daily life elsewhere, they decide to leave D. McKeon to stay on Golden Pond for a month, who happens to religiously employ the expletive that popularly defines the collective excrement of male bovine animals. The irony of this movie is that the Fondas' true-life relationship closely correlates to the one they portray in their characters. Nevertheless, as the Academy Awards are just around the corner, this genuinely moving film will certainly be the one the others will confront most. The photography is simply stunning and director Mark Rydell ( m e Rose) does a marvelous job, but Ernest Thompson's script, being based on his own play, was clearly made for the actors. If the four main actors are not at least nominated, moviegoers may rightfully question the belief of God. It is almost unquestionable that Henry Fonda will win Best Actor hands down. The fact that he is so old, his role is so great, and he has never won an Oscar (save his Oscar for Lifetime Achievement) makes it seem-

January 29, '8982 ingly impossible that he won't. Peter Finch did for Network because of his death, and Melvyn Douglas was Best Supporting Actor for Being n e r e before his dearh. Katharine Hepburn could well make motion picture history by winning her fourth Oscar; she already holds the record for nominations (11) and ties with Ingrid Bergman for winning. And of course, On Golden Pond itself will give the other nominees many a sleepless night in the Best Picture category. The amazing thing is that it is so appealing to all ages. Everyone can relate to it. If I've not yet convinced you to see this film, you probably don't deserve its intensity anyway.

angers ready u

Spanish by SallyExchange Engelhard Eight Indian Hill Spanish students, accompanied by Mr. Fogle, are prepared to leave the Cincinnati airport en route to Gandia, Spain, on Saturday, February 6 . These eight students are participating in the School Exchange Service program and plan to stay with host families for the greater part of the trip. Mr. Fogel claimed that the purpose of the exchange program will be beneficial for both parties involved. "The American students get first hand experience in living with obvious differences in language and life. Both the host families and the IH student will gain mutual understanding of each other's culture." The first four days of their trip will be spent sightseeing in Madrid. Mr. Fogel does not have the itinerary as of yet, but in the past years the students visited the

famous art museum, El Mu:eo de Prado. A visit to the nearby town of Toledo where the El Greco, the famous Spanish painter, lived and worked may be a possible sightseeing venture for the group. On Tuesday, February 10, the exchange students will arrive in Gandia and meet their host families. While in Gandia, the Indian Hill students plan to visit the Instituto Fransisco Franco, which has an enrollment of more than 1000 students. Many of the Indian Hill students will be familiar with their host brother or sister. Some of the Spanish students that are hosting came to Indian Hill earlier this year. The climate in Gandia will be warmer and milder than in Cincinnati. Although the weather will not be warm enough for sunbathing, the Mediterranean Sea is only a few miles away from the host families' homes. The Indian Hill students will return to the colder

Benken presses sophomores to schedule or DECA soon by Mark Aldendifer and Ken Jones Sophomores interested in the Senior DECA program in '83 must schedule for the Junior classes for next year. DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America) is an organization that trains its members in fields dealing with marketing and distribution. The club participates in various district, state, and national competitions of which IH has won the district for the

last nine consecutive years. "We have never lost a trophy," boasted Mr. Benken, the school's DECA teacher. Benken talks of DECA as being "a total program." Because of its many different activities, such as the doughnut sales b&ore school, competitions, the Christmas "Little World" project, senior co-op, and different types of selling projects, Benken sees it as "so much more than a classroom situation."

Fre nch Ex change by David Agin For the first time in five years, the exchange trip to France has been postponed. The annual exchange trip to Aix-En Provence which would have begun on January 29 was postponed 'because the host school could not find enough French families willing to house the 15 IH students who are planning to go. The IH exchange now plans t o travel to the town of Angers, France. Angers is located in the Loire River Valley, in the westcentral region of the country. , Host families have been found for the 15 students and the group now intends to depart on Feb-

For the national competitions, held over the summer, DECA students travel to a different place each year, sometimes as far as Anaheim, California, where last year's nationals were held. -This year's target for competition is the windy city, Chicago. The club travels out of town at least two or three times each year for these competitions. The height of the DECA course is the Senior co-op program. This is a first hand experience in retailing where the student is actually employed at such establishments as Casual Corner or Shillito's. In this situation, the student "learns things that will stay with him forever," say Benken.

Nary 6 . After a four day visit to Paris, the group will stay in Angers until their return on February 27. The exchangers' problems began when the French school in Aix, Lycee Paul Cezanne, notified Mrs. Connelly, the group chaperone, that it could not house all of the students and that it would be better if Indian Hill found another school in France where all 15 exchangers could.go. Dwight Poffenberger , one of the exchangers commented, "I was really mad because I didn't think we were going to get to go." After two weeks of planning, Mrs. Wund arranged for the group to stay in Angers. Another exb changer, junior Kurt ~ u s t e r erg said that "besides being in Paris, Angers will be the second best place we could stay." Three other schools that were planning on sending exchange groups to France had difficulties sirniliar to those of IH. Mrs. Connelly said that these problems were due to the "current economic crisis existing in France." These problems have arisen from the high French inflation rate which has made it economically difficult for many French families to house an exchange student for t h e e weeks. The IH students visiting France include: John Christine, ' Chris Huff, Diane Perlich, Lisa Nicholas, Ellen Bishop, Kurt Dusterberg, Dwight Poffenberger, Vicki Camardo, Sherry Kadivar, Rosemary Ward, Julie Gilsdorf, Michelle Adkins and Janine

This is a time for students and parents t o ask teachers and department coordinators about the content requirements, and instructional approaches in all of the courses. The exposition will be held in the cafeteria. The counselors will be in Eng&sh classrooms on February 4 and 5, explaining courses of study for 1982-83.

Kenarssance Kres goes by Rod Barr How does one begin an article about John Ries? If one first discusses his intellectual and academic life, John might sound like a 'ween' or a 'brain' who spends his weekends studying and his free time reading physics textbooks. If one first discussed his musical interests, then that might appear to be his only activity. If one first discussed his athletics pursuits, then it might seem that John is always riding a bike or climbing a mountain. I guess the easiest way to begin an article about John Ries is to bring all of that together and say that he is the closest IH can get to a true Renaissance man. Musically, John keeps his chops in shape by playing trombone in the Stage Band, the PowWow Orchestra, and the highly selective Cincinnati Youth Symphony Orchestra. John was also recently selected to be a member of the All-State Orchestra, which consists of the best musicians in the state who meet for a weekend of "intense practice" and a concert. Although John loves playing and plans to continue playing during college, he does not see music as his prime source of income; "I just love it. It's hard and it takes a lot of time and effort to develop the skill; but I find it really relaxing. But I think it's going to remain just a hobby." Another facet of this hobby is Pep Band. In fact, one will find John directing this unique group tonight at the Sycamore game. Even with the considerable time John spends working and playing - - - with bands, he still makes the time to participate in a myriad of other school activities. Among his most prestigious positions must, of course, be his coeditorship of Chieftain's news section. Even as I write this article, John Ries is huddled off in some remote corner furiously editing news stories. John also is involved in the Peer Counseling program, about which he says, "I wish I'd started it three years ago. It's just relating with people. I find it fascinating. The retreats were one of the best times I've had this year; it meant a lot." John is also a member of the awesome IH "It's Academic" team, which John sees as his only real . . "competitive" activity; "I try not to be heavily into competition,

but that's the one thing where I say, 'Let's beat the other guy."' Academically, John's prime interests lay in the fields of literature and history. John commented, "Literature and reading and history give you a flavor for people and cultures. I find that interesting." His skill in those areas can be judged from some of the many awards he has won, which include being named first in the state in English his sophomore year, and winning the NCTE writing award. The list of his academic honors goes on and on, but he has managed to keep a level head despite his laurels; "Awards mean a whole lot to me before I get them and not much after I get them ."

For the last few years, we have been bombarded with misogynistic trash such as Halloween 11, Happy Birthday to Me, and Prom Night, as well as special effects contests like Time Bandits, The Empire Strikes Back, and Raiders of the ' Lost Ark. The first big breakthrough for the "over twelves" in the audience was Ordinary People, followed by The Four Seasons. As they were not aimed at rapists or children, they were considered 'risky.'

disc review

The Cars' newest misses mar by Efbie Herman The Cars' latest album, Shake it up, is a half-hearted attempt by the group to return to the success of their first album, The Cars, but doesn't come close. In recent years, the group has been suffering because their second album, Candy-0, didn't achieve the sales expected. The group seemed to be making positive strides on their t h i ~ dalbum, Panarama, but unfortunately, this is not heard on Shake it up. Side one begins with a song called "Since You Were Gone." The musical arrangement of the song is very good. The lyrics, however, are quite monotonous. In fact, the title is repeated some thirty-two times throughout the song. The second song (the first single off the album) is "Shake it up." This single is doing fairly well on "BilIboard'sY' top 100, but lacks the rough electric sound found on early Cars' singles like "You're All That I Got Tonight" and "Just What I Needed." The next two songs, "I'm not the One" and ''Victim of Love" are the group's attempts at love songs. "I'm not the One" is very good, as the lyrics are mellow and the keyboards are relaxing. These

two elements make the song very listenable, but not exciting. "Victim of Love" is an entirely different story. The lyrics are so repetitious that the song is izritating as well as boring; not to mention the nauseating clapping found on several cuts on the album. Side one ends with a song called "Cruiser," which may have originally been intended to be reggae but turned out to be disco sounding. Side two consists of four songs: "A Dream Away", "This Could be Love", "Think it Over", and "Maybe Baby". Of these, only "This Could be Love" is even worth mentioning. In fact, it almost makes up for the other three songs on the side. "This Could be Love" has the lyrics and erie sound found on earlier Cars' albums, as it could even be considered one their best songs t o date. The Cars seem to have rushed this album, as many songs have good foundations, while others are a waste of vinyl. As a whole, the album rates at about a five, only because you can chew your gum to it.

daily life elsewhere, they decide to leave D. McKeon to stay on Golden Pond for a month, who happens to religiously employ the expletive that popularly defines the collective excrement of male bovine animals. The irony of this movie is that the Fondas' true-life relationship closely correlates to the one they portray in their characters. Nevertheless, as the Academy Awards are just around the corner, this genuinely moving film will certainly be the one the others will confront most. The photography is simply stunning and director Mark Rydell ( m e Rose) does a marvelous job, but Ernest Thompson's script, being based on his own play, was clearly made for the actors. If the four main actors are not at least nominated, moviegoers may rightfully question the belief of God. It is almost unquestionable that Henry Fonda will win Best Actor hands down. The fact that he is so old, his role is so great, and he has never won an Oscar (save his Oscar for Lifetime Achievement) makes it seem-

January 29, '8982 ingly impossible that he won't. Peter Finch did for Network because of his death, and Melvyn Douglas was Best Supporting Actor for Being n e r e before his dearh. Katharine Hepburn could well make motion picture history by winning her fourth Oscar; she already holds the record for nominations (11) and ties with Ingrid Bergman for winning. And of course, On Golden Pond itself will give the other nominees many a sleepless night in the Best Picture category. The amazing thing is that it is so appealing to all ages. Everyone can relate to it. If I've not yet convinced you to see this film, you probably don't deserve its intensity anyway.

Spanish by SallyExchange Engelhard Eight Indian Hill Spanish students, accompanied by Mr. Fogle, are prepared to leave the Cincinnati airport en route to Gandia, Spain, on Saturday, February 6 . These eight students are participating in the School Exchange Service program and plan to stay with host families for the greater part of the trip. Mr. Fogel claimed that the purpose of the exchange program will be beneficial for both parties involved. "The American students get first hand experience in living with obvious differences in language and life. Both the host families and the IH student will gain mutual understanding of each other's culture." The first four days of their trip will be spent sightseeing in Madrid. Mr. Fogel does not have the itinerary as of yet, but in the past years the students visited the

famous art museum, El Mu:eo de Prado. A visit to the nearby town of Toledo where the El Greco, the famous Spanish painter, lived and worked may be a possible sightseeing venture for the group. On Tuesday, February 10, the exchange students will arrive in Gandia and meet their host families. While in Gandia, the Indian Hill students plan to visit the Instituto Fransisco Franco, which has an enrollment of more than 1000 students. Many of the Indian Hill students will be familiar with their host brother or sister. Some of the Spanish students that are hosting came to Indian Hill earlier this year. The climate in Gandia will be warmer and milder than in Cincinnati. Although the weather will not be warm enough for sunbathing, the Mediterranean Sea is only a few miles away from the host families' homes. The Indian Hill students will return to the colder

Benken presses sophomores to schedule or DECA soon by Mark Aldendifer and Ken Jones Sophomores interested in the Senior DECA program in '83 must schedule for the Junior classes for next year. DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America) is an organization that trains its members in fields dealing with marketing and distribution. The club participates in various district, state, and national competitions of which IH has won the district for the

last nine consecutive years. "We have never lost a trophy," boasted Mr. Benken, the school's DECA teacher. Benken talks of DECA as being "a total program." Because of its many different activities, such as the doughnut sales b&ore school, competitions, the Christmas "Little World" project, senior co-op, and different types of selling projects, Benken sees it as "so much more than a classroom situation."

Fre nch Ex change by David Agin For the first time in five years, the exchange trip to France has been postponed. The annual exchange trip to Aix-En Provence which would have begun on January 29 was postponed 'because the host school could not find enough French families willing to house the 15 IH students who are planning to go. The IH exchange now plans t o travel to the town of Angers, France. Angers is located in the Loire River Valley, in the westcentral region of the country. , Host families have been found for the 15 students and the group now intends to depart on Feb-

For the national competitions, held over the summer, DECA students travel to a different place each year, sometimes as far as Anaheim, California, where last year's nationals were held. -This year's target for competition is the windy city, Chicago. The club travels out of town at least two or three times each year for these competitions. The height of the DECA course is the Senior co-op program. This is a first hand experience in retailing where the student is actually employed at such establishments as Casual Corner or Shillito's. In this situation, the student "learns things that will stay with him forever," say Benken.

The exchangers' problems began when the French school in Aix, Lycee Paul Cezanne, notified Mrs. Connelly, the group chaperone, that it could not house all of the students and that it would be better if Indian Hill found another school in France where all 15 exchangers could.go. Dwight Poffenberger , one of the exchangers commented, "I was really mad because I didn't think we were going to get to go." After two weeks of planning, Mrs. Wund arranged for the group to stay in Angers. Another exb changer, junior Kurt ~ u s t e r erg said that "besides being in Paris, Angers will be the second best place we could stay." Three other schools that were planning on sending exchange groups to France had difficulties sirniliar to those of IH. Mrs. Connelly said that these problems were due to the "current economic crisis existing in France." These problems have arisen from the high French inflation rate which has made it economically difficult for many French families to house an exchange student for t h e e weeks.

As most seniors packed up their books after last week's exams and hopped in their cars to eagerly face the oncoming weekend, they breathed a sigh of relief. "It's finally over," they might have thought. True, first semester exams are over, but some seniors have extended that fact and taken the attitude that the entire year might as well be over also. Such an attitude can only generate an atmosphere of apathy that this school most certainly does not need. With their last scan-tron mark, or essay paragraph, seniors have essentially closed the grade book on their high school careers. They will learn their final class rank; most college applications are in; and the last "exam week" is now over. Nevertheless, senior year is only half over: a whole new semester of papers, tests, and projects lie ahead. It may be difficult for seniors to find motivation to keep working hard the .rest of the year. -Ifowever, we must, as righteous as it might sound, retain a positive attitude toward our school and our learning experience. Apathetic attitudes can only make a teacher's job more difficult and increase classroom tensions.

as I see it

Religion vs. politics by John Bergman The conflict between religion and politics is one of the oldest and most hotly debated issues. Most people, including our constitutional forefathers, believe that the two subjects should be kept completely separate. Inevitably, though, there are certain times when the two clash. One such confrontation occurred over the past two weeks. It all started when President Reagan made the "mistake" of ceasing to enforce a policy denying tax-examption to discriminatory religious institutions. Only nondiscriminatory institutions used to be tax-exempt. When Reagan realized his "error," he quickly made it clear to the public that he was going to correct it. At this point, Bob Jones' University comes in to the picture. Bob Jones' University is a very strict parochial college. It allegedly runs all school activities "by the rules of the Bible." The college insists that, according to the rules of the Bible, no student of the college may date a membe~of a different race or religion. Resident Reagan, in the aftermath of his confession, now points to this rule as discriminatory.

"But wait," says Bob Jones and company; "we believe that we are conducting ourselves in the exact manner prescribed by the Bible. If you penalize us for it, you will be taking away part of our religious freedom ." Therein, Bob Jones would have you believe, lie the seeds for a great debate. I do not believe that grounds for debate exist. As I see it, Bob Jones' university, no matter how righteous and moral its followers believe it to be, should not be taxexempt. Just because a group of people chooses to label its discriminatory practices as religion, the group is not entitled to practice discrimination at the expense of society at large. The real question here is not separation of church and state. President Reagan did sot suggest for even a moment thet Bob Jones' University should not be allowed to practice discrimination. He merely said that the vast majority of the citizens of the United States who do not agree with Bob Jones should not have to pick up the tab. Freedom of religion, yes. A free ride for discrimination, no! I whole-heatedly agree.

only have one win in the winning column. I think if we would have pulled off some of those close games, we probably would have held on and beat Madeira." After scoring just 26 points in the first three quarters at Mariemont, the Braves erupted in the fourth quarter to score 24 points and force the game into overtime. Two clutch free throws by Terry Healey in the final seconds of regulation gave the Braves momentum going into sudden death. But, as has been the case a l l year, the Braves could not find quite enough, losing, 59-56. McKibben again pointed t o the Braves' lack of consistency as being the most critical problem facing the team, but now he plans on taking things one day at a time and hoping for the best. "The effort against Madeisa really showed a lot of character in the team. We hope we can play spoiler now and hopefully make a strong showing in the tournament." YOU

Increased tensions will create a stricter learning environment and seniors will lose the academic freedom they attempted to gain by being apathetic. Second semester senior year is also a time during which some students become markedly antagonistic toward their school. As the year winds down, bitter feelings can grow toward an expected release at graduation. Now is the time when seniors might begin to plan their last chance to get back at the school, the senior prank. However, if the class of '82 has not learned the consequences of a destructive senior prank from classes '79 through '8 1, their prank will be more foolish than all the previous ones combined. We are told over and over again, "grades are not everything," and, starting last Monday, they have the least impact for seniors since junior high. However, we are also told that grades are not the most important part of school. While grades diminish in importance, the need to learn and mature in preparation for college or the job market increases greatly. Instead of counting out the seventy-four school days until "it's all over," we must anticipate the time when the exams will get much more difficult, and free time much more precious.

SG Homecoming, computer dating highlight upcoming SG projects

letter from

Dear Fellow Students, The forum last Wednesday, which featured IH's Drama Club, was Student Government's most recent project. The production was a success, and we thank you for attending. The forum committee, however, does need suggestions for the next forum. One idea is having a speaker come, but no definite plans have been made as of yet. The exchange committee has arranged a student exchange with Cincinnati Country Day school for February 3. The sign-ups were held this past week. The IH students will spend the entire day at CCDS learning how a private school is run. Other exchanges will be announced, and the signups will be two weeks before the exchange by the main office. Also .on February 3, there will be a Student Government meeting. The meeting will be at 12:OO in the DECA room, and is open for anyone who wishes to attend. The five class cabinet members from each class (who will be excused), will be contacted this weekend. While the SG representatives read the the announcements from the meeting on February 4 in homeroom, the annual Computer

Dating project will begin. The representative will pass out questionnaires on dating preferences for all students to fill out. These papers are then sent to the computer company, and they match everyone up with their top ten dates in the school. The matched lists will take four to six weeks to return, and then wi3l be sold for $1.50 in the cafeteria. The money collected will go to the Heart Fund. The basketball tournament is also under way. The IH intramural teams have been formed, and the other schools' intramural teams have been invited to participate. The IH intramural teams play every Saturday afternoon in the gym, so if you want to see some basketball action and see which team will be playing in the tournament, go to the IH gym and watch. Not only have the SG committees been busy, but the individual classes have been doing a lot of work and planning too. The sophomores, for example, are selling Braves T-shirts in the cafeteria for $650. The shirts will be on sale through February 12. This is only one of their many

Indian Hill comeback knocks ofl Milford, 50-46; Braves, Aves to duel in Homecoming game by Kurt Dusterberg Revenge will be on the mind of the Braves tonight when they square off against arch rival Sycamore in the 1982 basketball Homecoming game. The Braves dropped a decision to the Aviators, 62-51, earlier this year at Sycamore. The Braves should have some momentum going into the game after fmally making good on one of their second half rushes, beating Milford, 50-46, Wednesday at Milford. Indian Hill trailed by twelve, 33-21, at halftime. But, with only one minute t o play in the half, they trailed by only four. It set the stage for a typical Indian Hill comeback. "At halftime, I told them they were walking home from Milford if they didn't win," cracked '

Coach Dale McKibben. The Braves' coach was not surprised by the comeback win, which upped Indian Hill's record to 2-13. The third quarter made much of the difference, as the Braves outscored the Eagles, 20-5. "All the guys played an outstanding second half. We really had the mental readiness," he said. Terry Healey powered the offense with 21 points, consisting of eight field goals and five foul shots. The Braves failed to tally in the winning column during an important four game homestand, but Indian Hill gave Mariemont and league-leading Madeira a battle to the last seconds. The Brave.s have now lost four games by two points or less or in over time.

"We were emotionally flat against Loveland," Coach McKibben said of the Braves' 59-50 loss. "It takes a lot out of you after you have had close ones like we have." The Braves' toughest loss t o swallow came in a 57-56 barn burner against the Madeira Mustangs. Coming into the game, Madeira was undefeated in league play while Indian Hill was the celler dweller. The Braves dominated play and led by fivewith as little as 1:41 remaining in the game. The Mustangs stole the game when they grabbed a Braves' rebound after Indian Hill missed on a one-andane and hit a short jumper with two seconds left. "People. figure if you are ahead by that much [five] you should be able to win," explained McKibben. "But, it's tough when

Walnut Hills, New Richmond fall to strong IH Aquateam

by Mark Aldendifer The past two swimming meets against Walnut Hills and New Richmond brought two solid victories to the Aquateam. This is just what the team had been looking for in an otherwise losing season. The squad of Rob Gaddis, Mark Aldendifer, Derek Ackerman, and Cliff Wingerter started off the meet against Walnut HiUs with a fust place time of 1:48.06 in the 200 medley relay. This paved the way for Gaddis, who caught fust place in the 200 individual medley with his time of 2:10.15. The 50 freestyle brought in a first from Wingerter with a time of 23: 37, and a second with a 24.72 from Jim Koster. In the 100 butterfly, Ackerman, with a 55.75, grabbed first place, and Wingerter won the 100 freestyle with an even 54 seconds. The grueling 500 freestyle event was fought by Marc Levan, who came in third place. Ackerman took another fust place, this time in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:05. Strong swims also came from Rob McVicker, Tim Schaefer, Greg Morris and Barb Dirvin. The Aquasqauws' medley relay team of Diane Remmel, Kris Brockman, Betsy Weller, and Beth

Wingerter grabbed a time of 2:05.55. Weller swam to first place in the 100 butterfly with a time of 1:04.53. The 100 free brought a first place time of 59.81 to Wingerter, and a second place to Diane Remmell with a 1:01.5 1. Whitney Winn swam the 500 freestyle for the girls in 8: 10.47, which received a second place. Another frrst was landed by Kris Brockman in the 100 breaststroke. Cobering the diving spectrum of the Aquateam's meet against Walnut Hills was Mike Gruber, taking first. Stacey Labahn came in second, and Scott Lyon placed third. After the victory over Walnut Hills, the Aquabraves dunked New Richmond by a score of 1636 at New Richmond. The 200 medley relay, of Gaddis, Lyon, Koster, and Wingerter claimed a first place time of 1:5 3.88. First place times, which ran like a faucet at this meet, were by LeVan, Gaddis, Cliff Wingerter, Ackerman, and the I00 freestyle relay team of LeVan, Ackerman, Lyon, and Morris. The next meet for the girls will be February 2 against Aiken. Full team action will return February 4 against Roger Bacon and Mercy.

Balanced JV Squaws square record at 7-7 by Kurt Dusterberg After a disappointing season last year, the JV basketball Squaws had nowhere to go but up. This year the team got off to a fast start and now posts a record of 7-7. Coach Suzanne Davis attributes the team's success partly to the fact that there are a few more shooters on this year's team than last. "Lisa Holzman, Mary Granger and Sally Ulrner all are shooting pretty often," Davis said. "Last year, I really only had one or two people who ever shot." The Squaws currently have eleven players. Teresa Buchman will not see any action this season after a knee injury which requires surgery. Sophomore Holly Rodes made the varsity squad, but the team is not lacking a balance of scoring power. Holzman and Granger are number one and two respectively, with 55 and 54 points. Molly Roche has 42, while Karen Kreis and Gretchen Kindel each have 37. , The Squaws have run their record to 4 4 in the Eastern Hills League. They split their two games with Loveland, winning the first one, 23-18, but losing last Thursday, 26-15. "I thought we played a fine game against Sycamore and we played a good second half against Madeira," the second year coach said. They outscored Sycamore by five in the fourth quarter to win, 27-24. The Squaws put two more points on the board than Madeira in the second half, but it was not enough to overcome the team's slow start. Coach Davis had two main goals for herself this year. On her team instruction sheets, she even leaves herself a reminder of them. One such note read: Suzanne - Say positive things, play everybody. This season, both have been easier. "There has been a lot of improvement since the beginning of the year. At first I was hesitant to use any but the first five. Now, I'm not afraid to put everyone in." Still, the Squaws are not without flaw. "It really hurts us when we hack or throw airballs, but we have to just make up for it with a lot of hustle," Davis explained. In preparation for the team's varsity experience, the Squaws work a man-to-man defense which

MUN to debate in D.C. by Charles Wood The Indian Hill Model United Nations Club will depart to Washington, D.C. on February I 1 for the nineteenth session of the North American Invitational Model United Nations. Students from all parts of of the Western Hemisphere will attend the assembly, which is sponsored by Georgetown University, February 11-15. Indian Hill has been fortunate to participate in several of the annual assemblies in past years, and IH's Model U.N. club is recognized as a dependable participant in NAIMUN. This year lndian Hill is representing two delegations from the United Nations. In the General Assembly, the delegation represents Cuba, and for the Economic and Social committee the IHers represent Morocco. For the first time, Indian Hill is also participating in the Inter-Nation Simulation, representing Cuba and Guatemala. In the General Assembly, the students representing Cuba will participate in various committees. Each committee will discuss resolutions on a particular topic concerning international affairs. These committees are the Economic and Financial Cornmittee,

the Political arid Security Comnlitee, and the Social and Humanitarian Committee. The Economic and Social Committee, has the same format as'the General Assembly but different committees and tppics. ECOSOC is made up of various committees that deal with financial and social problems in the world. Some of the committees within ECOSOC are the Committee on Science and Technology, the Human Rights Committee, and the International Monetary b'und. Also, there are several subcommittees in ECOSOC which deal with more specific international problems such as the question of Palestine. The Inter-Nation Simulation, on the other hand, has no committees. The simulation is a mock international convention where international situations and conflicts are created, which the delegates must resolve through diplomacy. It is set up to be as realistic as possible, and all the niembers must bc well prepared. The students from lndian Hill representing Cuba in the General Assen~bly are Andy Hall, Winn Wells, Rob Ottenjohn, Shanon Meldon, Chip Surkamp, Dan Kramer, and Peter Hug.
