Fishing and spring break go hand in hand wherever you are by Dwight Poffenberger Fishing and spring break are synonymous. Both mean relaxation, whether it be on the beaches of Florida or on the shores of Lake Michigan. Whether one goes south, north, or stays at home, springtime offers some of the year's best fishing. Of course, some basic knowledge of the water and of the fishing techniques is needed for success in any area. Since the majority of IHers are headed down to Florida, I will dwell upon the excellent fishing opportunities that exist in the southern states. As March ends, many of the southern inland lakes provide excellent largemouth bass fishing. One does not need to own one's own plantation to get in on the action at many popular resorts like Kiawah Island or Hilton Head Island, which contain plenty of bass and, unfortunately, plenty of alligators too. The most productive baits in such ponds are artificial baits which resemble the tiny shad. These lures can be purchased in a variety of sizes and color combinations. Some have a large plastic lip in front of the bait which causes the bait to run deeper. Topwater lures like the Jitterbug are also productive in the late evening and early morning. If one wishes to get away from land and do some saltwater fishing, I recommend bonefishing. The bonefish is a shallow water feeder that is shaped and swims like a bullet. He is considered one of the most difficult fish to hook, let alone land. Many southern resorts offer bonefishing guides for a fair price; and believe me, it is worth it. Bonefish feed on shrimp and other tiny crustaceans along shallow mud flats. They are very spooky, so long casts are needed. They often travel in schools, so if one fish is scared, the whole school swims away. Stripping 100 yards of line in one run is not uncommon for these aggressive fish. Normally it takes fifteen to thirty minutes to land one. Once boated, bonefish should be released unless they

are going to be mounted because they are not good to eat. Besides bonefish, many other saltwater gamefish are available to the deep-sea fisherman. Grouper, barracuda, and sea bass are a few that are commonly caught. Again, the best bet for success lies with a guide. The most common bait for this offshore fishing is the ballyhoo, a six-inch or longer baitfish common to the saltwater depths. For the man who is seeking the ultimate challenge, charter boats go out every day for marlin and dolphin. This summer, I was lucky enough to try this, and it is a blast. The boats trail four or more artificial flies which hop

along the surface. It is really fun seeing a dolphin hit on the surface. If you can fmd a school of dolphin, they can wear out your armpullingthemin. Marlinsarea rarity and should be released beau;;th;;;;s~-fommte enough to be going to Florida, Lake Michigan offers excellent steelhead fishing this time of year. Four to twelve pound fish are taken mostly at spawn as they run the rivers to spawn. Excellent brown trout fishing is also available on Lake Michigan as the water warms. If you are not travelling this spring break, you might want to relax, fishing around Cincinnati. This is the time of year when area paylakes stock trout by the truckfull. The most relaxing way to fish these paylakes is to fish live minnows below a bobber. All you need to do is sit back and soak up the air. Enjoy your break.

by Win Wells For the first time in years, the concert band will compete at the state level in Columbus. Mr. Strider's musicians earned the h0i101 as a result of their winning an Excellent rating in the district competition March 19. The band received a one on a scale of one to five (one being the best) at the district contest held at Colerain High School. This superior rating allows IH, along with Sycamore and the School for Creative and Performing Arts, to vie for awards at the state level.

Each band competing last weekend was classified as either AA, A, B, C or D. Indian Hill entered the class A competition. Mr. Steve Strider, band director, stated that this A ranking was a difficult class; AA rank is reserved for schools such as Princeton and Mt. Healthy, the only AA bands in the area. The district competition was broken into two major areas: performance and sight reading. For sight reading the band had to play a piece of music which they had never before played.

ence, state officers were elected to their positions for the 1983-84 school year. In a tight race, sophomore Tim Marsh was elected Vice-President for OhioAIASA. Sophomore Chris Eaton was elected State Reporter. Also elected was freshman Eric Dahl for the Southwest District VicePresident. The competition included 20 events in which Indian Hill had participants in all catagories. Individuals won eighteen trophies and awards including the sweepstakes trophy for second place. The fields that were judged included Drafting, General Knowledge, Public Speaking, Safety Posters, Parliamentary Procedure,

The performance section was judged by three judges while the sight reading section was judged by only one man. Indian Hill received two ones and a two for performance and a two for sight reading. Concerning the overall judging, Strider commented, "I think we were treated fairly." He stressed that the two grade in sight reading will promote the in band this section. to strengthen According theirtoability Strider, the band "has learned a lot from this contest."

Strider also commented that the procedure for the state competition will be exactly the same as that in last weekend's district competition. He feels that these contests are objective in nature but stressed that IH will be competing against other "one" bands from Ohio at State. The band performed four separate numbers at districts. These were the "Amparito Roca" by Jaime Texidor, "The Hounds of Spring" by Alfred Reed, and the "Chaconne and March from' The First Suite in E (flat) for Military Band" by Gustav Holst. Strider expects the band will perform "Canticles" by Jared Spears at the competition in Columbus.

March 25,1983 Senior class President Chris Schmalz and Vice-President Ron Zesch met with both Mrs. Sharon Smith and English department chairperson Mrs. Jean Morgan to alleviate the problem. Schmalz and Zesch offered two alternatives: to permit those students taking exams to come to school at 12: 30 or t o move the exam time up to 9:00 and have students attend' their last three classes only. Smith's major complaint with the second alternative was that the exam time was scheduled in November and moving the pre-arranged time wouldn't be fair to those involved. Both Smith and Morgan pointed out that March 24 was a day that students are required to be in school thereby nullifying the first alternative. "I was disappointed with the administration's inflexibility," Schmalz said. "It seems to me that even if we had devised a better alternative, Smith wouldn't have even consklered it because she was set in her ways," Zesch added. Smith could have easily changed the time; surely no students would have been upset. In the future, a sure -flay to avoid such strife is by seeking out student input in decisions that directly involve them or by letting them know of decisions well in advance of their occurrence. If the administration continues to neglect and pass over the student body's views, administration/student relations can only deteriorate like they did prior t o the walkout.

CHIEFTAIN

editorial On Friday October 16, 1981 nearly 70 Indian Hill students walked out of the sixth period classes to protest new administrative policies. Following the walkout, Student Government advisor Mr. Dennis Dowling and student government co-presidents Robin Greiner and Laurie Keller outlined diagrams to the students showing how they could voice their opinions and explained that students' views consisted of only 25% of the input in the decision-making process. Student Government put much emphasis on these channels of communication and insisted that they do work. Although these channels still exist, it is becoming increasingly apparent that student input in the decision-making process is undervalued and often neglected. The result is a growing student rebellion that is crying out to be heard. One example in particular is the ordeal concerning yesterday's exams. Yesterday's exam takers, A.P. U.S. History students, and honors and level two senior English students, learned two weeks ago that they would be required to attend their first five classes and then proceed to their two-hour exam at 12:30 that afternoon. Enraged seniors drew up a petition asking the administration to exempt them from their first five periods of regular classes.

letter to the editor

Bush corrects teachers' facts from recent survey f

The responses to the survey on teacher evaluation which were quoted in your issue of March 11, 1983 included several statements which are not accurate. As chairman of the committee which was charged with the duty of revising the teacher evaluation system, I would like to offer some pertinent information concerning the revision process. The basic purpose of revising the evaluation program was to enhance the educational opportunities for our pupils by providing an improved teaching staff. Many of the suggestions offered by the teacher members of this committee were incorporated in the final version of the evaluation guideline and instrument. Two changes were made in the program at the behest of administrators and members of the board of education: both of these changes were intended to help teachers do better work with pupils. The extension of the evaluation period from the end of the first semester to the first of April was seen as a favorable move for

teachers, since it added two months to their time for observation by an evaluator, and to their opportunities for demonstrating improved performance. The revised evaluation period also brings our program into better compliance with provisions of state law. A related change which was accepted by the teachers on the committee was the delay of assigned improvement tasks for tenured teachers to the following year, which may allow the teacher in question an additional year of employment while these tasks are being observed and evaluated. The second administrative adjustment to the system was the provision for the placement of a teacher on formal evaluation in any year. This move was believed by both administrators and board members to be an important means of improving the quality of staff performance without the delay which formerly ensued under the three-year cycle system. If the effectiveness of a teacher is in question, it is not fair to pupils for action on that teacher's per-

formance to be delayed by an arbitrary rule. The committee met a total of 14 times over a two-year period, including two meetings in June, 1982 to which only three teacher representatives came. These and other related facts simply do not support the statements contained in the March 11th report re-

garding the participation of teachers in the revision of the evaluation program. Sincerely, Harold Bush Board of Education Treasurer

March 25.1983

by Kwin P r d l i c h The Indian Hill varsity baseball Braves open their season Tuesday, March 4th. Under new head coach Dennis Dowling the players have taken a positive attitude. This year the baseball Braves have worked harder than in past years. "This year there is a completely different attitude. We are willing to work, more serious, and more enthusiastic," said returning letterman Todd Goldman. The strongest aspect of the Braves' defense this year is definitely the infield. Competition for 2nd base, 3rd base, and shortstop will be the fiercest. The players fighting for these positions are 'returning seniors Kriss Ashing, Jim h o l d , and Goldman along with junior Mitch Theuring. Competition for first base will also be tough. Four men are trying for the position: Curtis Ott, Dan Kremchek, John Knechtley, and Dave Davis.

CHIEFTAIN

Overall the infield is not lacking at any position. "This infield should be one of the most consistent in recent Indian Hill history," says Jim Arnold. The outfield should follow close behind the infield in defensive ability. Seven players are competing for the three available starting positions. They are: Kevin Froehlich, John Gennantonio, Rob McVicker, Todd Hock, Jim Morgan, Ott and Davis. Because these players have close, if not equal, defensive ability it will be their offensive talents which will determine the staters. In the infield as well as the outfield it will be the strongest offensive players who start. "Every player on the bench is capable of performing well on defense. Therefore I have the ability to shift the lineup from game to game in order to allow the .people who are hitting well at certain times to play," says Dowling.

Bri ndiSe forms JV tennis tea m by Andrew Henon The Indian Hill JV tennis tryouts were held last week. Although the weather did not cooperate, head coach Gene Brindise managed to form the new JV tennis Braves. Coach Brindise's squad is made up mostly of freshmen with the exception of two sophomores. The team is working hard this spring to have a successful season and, according to Jeff Gibson, a winning season is possible. "I believe dre have a lot-of talent this year. We can do very well." The team's fjst match wfl be held April 6, just three days after spring break, against Deer Park. Asked if the JV Braves will be ready on April 6, freshman Brad

Smith said, "Coach Brindise has us improving our physical condition. Although the team is not practicing over spring break, we will still be ready." The JV Braves' schedule consists of fourteen matches with only four league matches. Teff Neal feels the JV Braves have a good shot at the league title. "The team has great ability, and I think we can win the EHL." This should be an enjoyable season for the JV tennis Braves. The team has the "ability to go all the way," says Kevin McClorey, "and the talent to win the EHL." Coach Brindise commented, "I'm looking fomard to a good season with a full schedule of matches."

JV Braves to rely on defense, speed

by Kevin Walzer The JV baseball Braves have been preparing for their upcoming season the last few weeks. They open play Tuesday, April 5 against Amelia at home. First year coach Steve Thompson plans to combine effective defense and speed to win games. "Our strengths lie in our defense, especially in our infield, and in our speed. We don't have a lot of power hitting." Thompson hopes that these

strengths will outweigh the weaknesses of "pitching, catching and youth." The team has many freshmen, but quite a few sophomores with JV experience are returning for this season as well. The Braves will play a 21-game schedule, all in the month of April. They will play only eight league games. Thompson predicted that the team "would probably finish at least above -500."

The Braves' pitching staff may be the only questionable aspect of the team. Thus far in the practices John Knechtley, Ott, and Davis have earned the starting roles, Bob Carroll, Dave Jones, Alan Schwartz and Arnold will

make up the relief team. Ctmcb Dowiing believes the starting pitchers will be the key to the Braves' success. "I believe if the starting pitchers are able to go five, maybe six, innings cvery game, we could be competing for one of the top spots in the league. If they can't we may run into ditfidtv." --

Gerry Faust making adjustments to life under the Golden Dome by Kurt Dusterberg To those who are familiar with Gerry Faust, it should come as no surprise that two years as head football coach at Notre Dame University has not changed him. The same grin, the same raspy voice, and the same attitudes that became Faust trademarks are still intact at South Bend. The coach of the Fighting Irish was in town on St. Patrick's Day taking care of business. En route from a meeting to a visit to Moeller, Faust put his Moeller days in perspective. "I love the place and everything it stands for," Faust praised. "I don't really have a yearning to go back because I like the job I'm in now. I have to consider Moeller as a phase in my life, but it was a very fruitful and positive one. I will never forget it or regret anything about it." Nor will he likely forget about the football program he built at Moeller. "I'm still very interested. I always want to see them win," he said. Faust now sees the world from golden domes but not through rose colored windows. It does not bother Faust to be lumped together with his legendary predecessors at Notre Dame.

photo by Kurt Dusterberg

During a recent visit to Moeller, Gerry Faust pauses in front of the doors that helped open the doors t o Notre Dame. "I never really paid much attention to it. And it's the position (head coach at Notre Dame) that is important, not the man. So I can't get a big head. "I do,nYt put myself into a group with (Knute) Rockne or (Ara) Parsegian. They accomplished a lot with their own style. I'm just trying to do the best I can." Faust is hoping his best gets better this year in his third season as coach. After records of 5-6 and 5-4-1 in 1981 and 1982, Faust says he "can see the light at

the end of the tunnel. "I'm not happy with the progress we have made until now, but this year and next I think we will start to blossom." In the Moeller years, blossoming was rarely a problem. Most of Faust's teams were in full bloom as evidenced by his five state championships. Just because Faust has not had the success in the last two seasons that he had at Moeller does not mean he has learned to accept losing any better. "You never adapt to losing,"

insisted the coach. "You have to learn to rebound and develop some resilience rather than sulk about a loss." Faust faced two major changes while discovering the differences between coaching at the high school and college levels. "I think I was too easy on the players the first year. I thought that because they were in college they would be more mature automatically. I had to find a strong but fair discipline. "The other big difference is that I can't actively coach as much here. With all the assistant coaches we have here, I find my job is more to oversee everything. At Moeller I really got more of a chance t o teach." Faust is hoping that more pieces will fall together for the Fighting Irish in 1983, keeping in mind that "we didn't build Moeller overnight. I'm an optimist. I think we will play much better if we stay healthy this year." Faust seems greatly content where he is now. When asked about college coaching two days before he accepted the Notre Dame job two years ago, Faust said Notre Dame would be the only college job he would ever consider. Does it still hold true? "Yes," he replied. "If I weren't here, I don't know what I would do." Then, with his familiar grin he added, "and I hope I don't have t o deal with that problem."

The art of training often hidden by Richard Stradling Having an appendage taped before a game or practice is not the most exciting aspect of an athlete's routine. It would also suffice to say that taping appendages before a game or practice is equally, if not more, unentertaining. There are a few souls, however, who, if not absolutely loving it, do tolerate performing the necessary maintenance of athletes: the student trainers. Begun four years ago by Athletic Director Carol Wehmann and experienced trainer Bill Taylor, the Athletic Training Program is dedicated to the treating and prevention of minor athletic-related injuries. The student trainers accomplish this through a number of methods, including taping, icing, whirlpools, etc. Wehmann, who had performed most of the training duties before

the present program was begun, recruited a group of girls to help and to eventually take over these duties. Wehmann enlisted the aid Miami University graduate Taylor, who is currently employed with Southern Ohio Sports Trauma Center and is a member of the National Athletic Trainers Association. Taylor holds one-and-a-halfhour classes each week for his twelve trainers to ensure their capability in training. Currently, students from Moeller and Sycamore are attending these classes as these schools are beginning their own programs. Besides their love for being around athletes, student trainers do what they're doing for a number of reasons. Head student trainer Katie McClorey sights her interest in sports medicine as a career as her reason for training,

but states, ,"for others, it's just an activity like any other." Though many athletes are not openly appreciative of the trainers' work, most are comfortable in their knowledge and expertise. As senior Marc LeVan commented, "I was in to be wrapped for football, and they know what they're doing pretty well." Football Coach Gene Brindise Brindise, who did most of the taping for his players at Dayton Alter, stated he is "pleased with the cooperation and effort of the trainers" and maintains they do an "excellent job." Listening to coaches and athletes alike, one gets the feeling that Indian Hill is fortunate to have its student trainers. And remember, hidden under all those pads, jerseys, sweats, etc. lies the work of some of Indian Hill's most talented students.

"Mr. Bernard just told me he was sending them t o be judged o n e day, and I agreed thinking nothing of i t "

"I cannot believe that my collage project has been chosen," said Lemmel. "I don't agree with the judges' taste. I despise that collage. I think it's one of the ugliest art pieces ever made."

I photo b y Chris Eaton

Head trainer Bill Taylor and Head Student Trainer Katie McClorey.

by Terri Rosen Editor's note: Senior Tern Rosen is referring to Dwight Poffenberger's March 1 I Way o f the Woods column in which Poffenberger stated that hunters are not cruel murderers of animals. So you love nature, Dwight. It is an admirable quality, I assure you. Mr. Jim Arnold told us in psychology class that there is a portion of your brain that controls your ability t o love and hate, and when these two clash, a problem, mentally speaking, is not far off. To think of hunting as a game only adds t o my suspicion of hunters' mental instability. To think of hunting as just a game is only looking from the "superior human's" point of view. Dwight explained hunting

in his last article as a game of "will against instinct." It is a game of will and instinct, but played only by the desperate animal. The animal's will to live leads him to follow his instinct to escape the "nature loving" human's blow. Dwight went on to further explain the game aspect by comparing hunting t o a tennis match. It is comparable, but only as long as one of the players is not equipped with a racket. The hunter seems to find a thrill out of trying t o meet the animal's natural instincts because hunting is about as challenging as taking candy from a baby. It's just too easy! If you love a challenge so much, Dwight, why don't you stalk something that exemplifies

your superiority. The only way that this "game" can be considered competitive is ff y o u choose an adversary comparable in ability. The only worthy opponent t o man, as far as I know, is man himself. How about hunting each otner, Dwight! Would you still feel the same way about getting up at 4:00 a.m "to watch the sun rise" and know someone was ready to play his game on your existence? ! What amazed me most about Dwight's article in the last issue of Chieftain was his need to rationalize his actions. "Is it not more cruel t o have starving animals competing for a limited food supply than t o harvest them through hunting." It seems t o me that animals have

I'm sure the starving people in third world countries would rather fight starvation than b e harvested by a prosperous world leader. I know this is a ridiculous analogy, therefore making yours a poor explanation as t o why hunters hunt. A defensive attitude is a psychological red flag, telling everyone around you that you have a problem. Hunters hunt because they need t o achieve the respect and superiority that they obviously lack in basic human contact. Anyone who feels the need t o kill a peaceful unsuspecting deer should seriously consider getting a rebate o n his $30 hunting license and invest the money in a good psychiatrist!

IH DECA posts twenty-one in district finals by Eric Paul Twenty-one DECA students became finalists at the annual District 22 DECA competition held March 17 at the Eastgate Mall. The individual wins, which also counted in team competition, allowed the team to win its eleventh straight team trophy. Under the leadership of Mr. Jim Benken, 35 Indian Hill students entered the competition, and 16 of the 21 finalists will no

tion will take place in Columbus on April 22-24. According to Benken, Indian Hill will be sending the most number of DECA students to the state competition from one schooL Most high schools are represented by only one or two students. Kathy Thacker, Suzy Schutty, Linda Hartz, Kate Devitt, Julie Meyerenke, and Jill Jacobs are writing manuals which they will display in Columbus. "These

pages each and I am confident that all of them will qualify for State," said Mr. Benken. Those who win in Ohio competition will go on to the national DECA competition to be held in New Orleans. Those students who placed for the award were Andy Alford, fifth - Food Marketing; Adrienne Nock, third and Laurie Rodgers, fourth - General Merchandise; Suzanne Lowes, second and Dave Damaska, fourth - Finance and Credit; Jeff Jorden, second '

Fencers instruct gym classes by Win Wells Five members from the Cincinnati Fencing Club gave a demonstration to the junior P.E. classes, Friday, March 18. The five members who demonstrated their sport were Gwen Wolfe, Andrew Pekarik, Jeff Martin, Kevin Leoffler and Mike Contadino. Wolfe, the coach of the club, stressed that distance, time, and speed are the three important factors in fighting a match. WoIfes a highly accomplished woman fencer is one of the five women masters in the U.S. She took up fencing while living in Mexico City where she joined the Mexican Olympic team in 1970. From there she participated in the 1972 Olympic Games where she placed 23xd in a field of 165 opponents. After the Olympics, she fenced with the teams in Cuba, France, Poland, Hungary, and Germany. In 1975 Wolfe made it to the semi~fmalsin the Polish National Open. In addition she has participated in the Pan American games and in the 'World Championship. During this last year, she came to Cincinnati to coach young hopefuls at the Cincinnati Fencing Club. Martin, an Ohio State sabre

fencer, recently won first place in a Kentucky competition. Two beginners to the sport, Leoffler and Contadino, whose fortes are foil and epee fencing also contributed to the demonstration. The final member of the team, Pekarik, recently defected from Hungary with his wife to come and fence in the U.S. While there, he ranked in the top of the sabre field. Wolfe said, "You'll be hearing more about him as time goes on." The members brought all necessary equipment with them so they could give a forty-five minute sampling of the art of fencing. The presentation included a lecture on the types of fencing and one concerning the three types of weapons involved. The three types, foil, epee, and sabre, were all incorporated in several matches following the presentation. The elaborate set-up for the matches included the devices needed for electrically monitored fencing where a touch is determined through electric impulses. The set-up included a metal fencing strip on which the fencers maneuvered while fighting and a machine which emitted a loud beep and activated a small light when a touch occured.

Tennis Braves by Craig Johnson The boysy varsity tennis team, trying hard to better last year's impressive 17-3 record, opens what has potential to be one of its best seasons ever this afternoon against Westerville in Columbus, Ohio. Also this weekend, the Braves will be participating in the Medina InvitationaL Last year the team brought home the Consolation Tournament trophy in that tourney as well as a second place finish in the EHL. Improving upon that second place finish is one of the major goals of this year's team. To achieve their goals, the players realized that they have to be in top playing condition early in the season. The recent poor weather has forced cancellation of many afterschool practices. On the first official day of practice, it was a cold 30 degrees and it was snowing. Head coach David Swisher realized that with the Medina Classic coming up in less than three weeks .and the Sycamore

disc review

match in less than fwe, the team had to get more practice in. "We needed to get some extra practices and the idea of pre-school practice was a good one." He announced that starting March 13 the team would begin having pre-school practice indoors as well as after-school practice outdoors. This meant getting 13 sleepy players, including three seniors, up at 5: 15 a.m.! However, the team as a whole felt that they were both helpful and necessary. Sophomore Brad McCurdy said, "The practices were helpful because we needed to get ready for the season." In order to win the league, the Braves are going to have to play well early in the season. For the past three seasons, IH has lost the EHL title on the final day of league play. Senior captain Bi Skidmore relayed his concern about beating Sycamore when he said, "This is my last chance to beat Sycamore. If the only thing we accomplish this year is beating Sycamore, I'll be satisfied." When asked how he felt about

Quality shot down by John LiUy It would be nice if once, just once, U2 would cut a tune on which they had not cranked the reverb up all the way. Don't misunderstand; these four Irish lads play good songs with interesting melodies and sincere (if at times unremarkable) lyrics about love and war. But they always sound like they're playing in the world's largest and most sound-reflective bathroom. It's quite a shame, too. With their growing technical command, U2 could sound amazingly crisp. If they would only unleash drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. and guitarist The Edge from the kind of smeary, confining production which has marred all of their work up to this point, their songs would take on an infinitely more vivid sound. Certainly none of that echo is necessary to bring out the best qualities of singer Vox Bono's powerful tenor. Unfortunatly, U2 (and producer Steve Lillywhite) should again be shot for producing each and every one of the ten tracks on their new album W a r in the manner to which they have grown accustomed. They really wreck the

the team's schedule, Skidmore commented, "Improving upon last year's 17-3 record will be tough to do. The difference will be in our ability to win or lose the 3-2 matches." Swisher also had something to say about the schedule. "There is no doubt it is a tough schedule. The majority of difficult opponents are scheduled in April. One thing is for sure, April will tell the story." This year the Braves will be playing teams from Columbus as well as from Cincinnati Top teams from Cincinnati include Elder, Lakota, Walnut Hills and Sycamore. IH will also play two Columbus teams, Columbus Academy and Westerville. The match with Sycamore will take place Thursday, April 14, at Sycamore. The team will be out to avenge last year's 3-2 loss, in which all the Braves' singles players were defeated. The Braves should have a much improved chance this year. One major reason for this is that the Braves have six returning lettermen. This

music. Take, for instance, "Sunday Bloody Sunday," the first song on War. It opens auspiciously enough; Larry Mullen is doing his characteristic hi-hat work. And, "What's this?" you ask, "No reverb? Did I pick up the right record?" You panic until the loud guitar wails and electronically-enhanced crash cymbals kick in. "Oh, thank God!" you sigh, wiping your brow in relief. Well, never you fret. U2 have miscalculated in the mix on all but a few of the songs here. (The anthematic production is appropriate for only three or four of them.) "Seconds" wants desperately to be a funky tune, but can't escape from the technological quagmire. The next two songs on the first side, however, are to be commended; twice in a row the band scores with the rhythmheavy sound, simply because it is musically appropriate here. "New Year's Day," the first of this pair, is, lyrically speaking, one of the most sophisticated songs U2 have ever played. On the surface, it is a simple love ballad; but it becomes apparent

m the final verse that the band is more concerned with the real effects of politics on people. "And so we are told this is the golden age," they comment wryly, "And gold is the reason for the wars we wage." "Like a Song . . ." is so captivating that it leaps off the vinyl as a success for U2. Their musical techniques pay off here, and they make their most cohesive statement of political belief. "I won't let others live in hell/As we divide against each other." Considering the band's background in striferidden Ireland, that is a powerfully pacifistic message. The side's final song, unfortunately, is as bad as its predecessor is good. "Drowning Man'' doesn't make it because it-sounds sloppy. That's about all there is to say. Side two starts well with the A percussive "The Refugee." couple of ironic lines make this song interesting. (Regarding the refugee: "Someday she's gonna live in America." Her dreams will come true then, I guess.) Again, though, a nagging guitar smear detracts from the overall worldfunk musical aura.

"Two Hearts Beat as One" is good. They didn't mess it up. "Red Light" is visceral wailing with backup vocals and very little in the way of a message, either musical or lyrical. Again on "Surrender," Lillywhite buries Bono's voice, which may or may not be appropriate. Something's wrong with the words here; either they aren't very good or I don't understand them. At any rate, I am unqualified to make any cute comments about the song in general. "40," the record's last tune, is an apt conclusion. It is a slow, pensive cut (not U2's usual forte), and the omnipresent echoes don't destroy it. Lyrically, "40" is a reiteration of a line from the album's fust song, "Sunday Bloody Sunday." "How long, how long must we sing this song?" Bono asks, and his voice conveys genuine melancholy. Looking over this review, I notice that it may dwell too much on War's main weakness, its production. It is an enjoyable and thought-provoking album, and I would recommend it highly. But it is flawed where it could be truly great. I just wish someone would fire the producer; that's all.

tones hurt by Peter Carr Know the facts. Stone throwing, a lunchtime pastime, is rapidly developing into a destructive force destined to topple local educational institutions should the activity proceed unchecked. Stone throwing is only bested by drugs and alcohol in its awesome detrimental potential, but the hideous sin remains that lunchtime stone throwing is relatively legal for minors unlike the use of drugs and/or alcoholic beverages. Consider this scenario: a group of idle students are outside enjoying a spell of good weather. It may appear on the surface to be an utterly harmless occurrence, but all too soon these idle students abuse their privilege, not their right, mind you, to spend part of 5th period under the sun by picking up small pebbles found in the area and maliciously hurling them at specific targets. The vast potential for utter annihilation is frightening. Take, for example, a case in which student Y is an undetected carrier of some deadly disease like leprosy. Now Y is a shy loner and, as a result, hasn't infected anyone. Unfortunately, Y decides to indulge in the activity of stone throwing. Student Z is about 30 feet away gabbing away at an incredible rate, as usual. Y hurls a newly-infected stone in the vicinity of Z. Z's mouth is open, and Y's stone enters the digestive tract, immediately spreading deadly leprosy throughout Z's vulnerable body. The popular, talkative Z now comes into contact with many

ROO, from p. 7 would like to attend college in the south somewhere. "I want to study pre-law." After college Rosemary will probably continue living in the U.S., even though her "true home" will always be England. "There is so much more culture in England, and the people seem to have different priorities. I really love the p e o a a n d lifestyle here, though." It seems that for Rosemary, the future is a long way off. And for the present, she is content with living in the U.S., binging on chipped snake, and living up to her reputation as "a bat out of hell."

other students. In a few weeks, the majority of these students are dead, and all because of stone throwing. Why, Y, Z and other infected individuals could cripple the entire community! So much for the possible personal damage created by stone throwing. Property damage must also be considered when properly assessing the dangers of stone throwing. Consider the pretty girl spending her lunchtimes in the combat zone of stones. She, perhaps, is the most frequent target. For nearly thirty minutes, persons are hurling small rocks that get trapped in her shirt, pockets, and pants. Then, right before class, she stops at the restroom. All of those dangerous pebbles inevitably end up in the toilet. In a matter of hours, the entire plumbing system of the school is destroyed, and we have a monstrous flood on our hands. Being optimistic, I assume that the students and faculty are evacuated before anyone drowns. However, the building is gutted by water damage, and all of the laboratory mice in the science wing die from a lack of oxygen. An entire school building is destroyed by stone throwing. The immediate dangers of stone throwing are so obvious. So why don't people stop? Well, stone throwers see no damage done to themselves. As a result, they continue projecting these perilous pebbles. Where does the answer Lie? Three possible solutions exist. One solution would be to abolish the outdoor privilege. The administration must take a definitive I

MIKE, from p. 7

The best solution, however, would be for the administration to pass a rule that all prosecuted stone throwers face an immediate expulsion. Stone throwing would instantly become a thing of the past, and we could all enjoy beautiful spring weather without the omnipresent threat of annihilation looming over our heads. Writer's note: I sincerely apologize for the lengthiness of this Student Opinion, but i t is a subject I feel quite strongly about. Besides, Kravetz ' article was even longer, and what business does a high school newspaper have poking its nose in Israel's or any other foreign country's affairs? Stone throwing damage directly affects all students and should thus receive due space. Goodnight; I'm rather tired.

has learned a lot about people and the facades they put up. "I hate it when a person is nice and sincere but then, when they're in a goup, they act totally different," Mike maintains. Concerning his musical delights, Mike holds out for jazz fusion. He used to be a hardcore rock-n-roller but now he's into "more tasty stuff.'' Besides listening to music, Mike also plays the drums. "It's a perfect little outlet." Another little outlet for Mike, or "Bay" as he is also called, will be Ft. Lauderdale. As you read these words, Bay and his buddies are driving south in pursuit of sun, sand, and other special endeavors. "We're going to do some partying," Mike predicts. A member of the 13 year club, Mike feels "like Peter Pan. I've liked it here and I wish I'd never have to leave, but then some days I feel like I just gotta' get outa' here." What "getting outa' here" real-

ly means is going to Bowling Green State University next year. Mike is unsure as t o what he wants to study, or for that matter, pursue as a career. "Maybe I'll just be a fireman like I wanted to when I was little." Looking back, Mike has no major regrets. He's a gifted athlete, playing defensive halfback for the football team this fall. He's also played rugby, and is now running track. This winter, however, Mike was a real Mo Facquer. That is, he played intramural basketball for the Mo Facquers. Mike was indeed a contributing facquer in the team's advancement to the semi-finals. All in all, he's a typical Irishman - belligerent, spirited and stubborn. If you told him this to his face he'd probably turn, look at you the way only Mike can, with a knotted forehead, and say, "Oh really? Riiight!" Only Mike Kearney.

step in ending the stone throwing fiasco. To relieve student mmplaints from such a harsh deterrent, students would be allowed to loiter in the indoor garden during lunch. The beautiful foliage would calm the chaos, and the stones on the garden floor are glued down, I think. A better solution, however, would be to force students t o a sense of awareness on the dangers of throwing stones. It has become apparent that stone throwing is a result of peer pressure. Mandatory group meetings of an organhation like Students And Teachers Against Nasty Stones (S.A.T.A.N.S.) could phase out peer pressure and the stone throwing problem itself.

disc review

Townshend releases smooth 'Scoop' by Bi Skidmore Peter Townshend's new Scoop is certainly not ordinary. Scoop is a collection of demos spanning a period from 1964 to the present. Many of the songs are personal, while others are merely whimsical. Most of the songs on the two records are soft and delicate. Black Sabbath fans, and even some Who fans, will hate it. Some of the demos were later made into Who songs - and classic Who songs too. Nevertheless, this is not a Who album, but it is a chance to experience a part of Townshend that is rarely seen by the public. After listening to this album, I felt as if I had just had an all night talk session with him. The intimacy between the listener and Townshend is enhanced by the absence of studio intervention and the personal nature of the tunes. Finally, if this album is a financial success, look for a followup. He states, "I have hundreds of such demos, this isn't meant to be a definitive collection - just a scoop." The album begins with a song that is representative of the entire album. "So, Sad" consists of a soft guitar and Townshend alone. This song flows into the next cut, "Brr," an instrumental. The first song done by The Who is next. Townshend's "Squeeze Box" is different from the Who By Numbers version for

two principle reasons. First of all, Townshend uses an accordion; and secondly, Townshend handles vocals instead of Roger Daltrey. On this track, Townshend's voice is not as effective, although this is still a fun little tune. "Zelda," the next demo, is an interesting song that is extremely addictive. The cut has a peculiar string sound that Townshend says is produced by "two viols, a baroque instrument that preceeded the violin family." Next, "Politician" is a wierd but good song that is a slight satire on politicians. That politician exclaims, "I know when I'm right, I know when I'm wrong." "Dirty Water" is an up tempo song with a country twinge. Kenny Jones plays drums and does a good job. The second to last song on the side is my favorite track on the album. "Circles" is a fantastic love ballad. "Everything I dot1 think of you . . Cireles there leading me back to you." The side concludes with a fun song, "Piano: Tipperary." This is a minute-long song with a piano and what can only be described as "B'goks." The second side opens with an unused piece for Quadrophenia. "Unused Piano: Quadrophenia" is a piano piece with a full and robust sound. "Melancholia" is a fascinating tune that really conveys the melancholy that Townshend was going through. He sings, "The

sun is shining, but not for me." "Bargain", a tune that showed up on Who's Next, is the third song on the side. Townshend's rendition doesn't measure up t o the Who version. He lacks the electricity the Who's Next track had. "Popular" is the best song o n the side. The chorus in "Popular" was later used in a great song "It's Hard." However, "Popular" is even better than "It's Hard," as Townshend's voice is more suited to the song than Daltry's. Also, Townshend shows off his fine guitar playing in "Popular." "Behind Blue Eyes" wraps u p the side. This track was later used on Who's Next, and Townshend's version is neither better nor worse, just different. "Magic Bus" is the first song on the third side. I like Townshend's version better than T h e Who's, but to be honest, after listening to both, I am not sure why. "Cache, Cache" is another Who song that showed up o n Face Dances. Both versions are effective, but the Scoop version is a little bit better. "Cookin" is a simple, slow song. Townshend explains, "I didn't know how much I loved you till I did the cookin'." It is not the best song, but it is decent. "You're So Clever" is a different cut, but I had the same reaction it's pretty good, but it is not a classic. "Body Language" is the worst song on the album. Townshend

talks with an instrumental background (which I don't like) just as in "People Stop Hurting People" and "Communication" in All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes. Fortunately, the song is less than two minutes. "Initial Machine Experiments" is a demo in which he is playing with a synthesizer. "Mary" opens the fmal side of the album. It begins with a slow tempo, continues with a nice instrumental bridge, and emerges speeded up. It is an excellent piece. "Recorders" is certainly a unique track. I t begins with the sound of gulls on the ocean. Then there are hollow tones made by a children's toy - a plastic whirling tube. "Goin' Fishin"' is an excellent composition. It deals with Townshend's abhorrence of fishing. His voice blends in perfectly with song. "To Barney Kessel" is a song with what can only be d e scribed as a Hawaian guitar. The song is extremely simple, but effective. In "You Came Back," Townshend shows off his fantastic voice. This is a very melodic track and one of the better ones o n the album. The album concludes with the famous "Love Reign O'er Me." This version is even better than the Quadrophenia version. I t is simplified, but the passion of the song seems t o come through better in Townshend's rendition. Scoop is a slippery-smoothsounding album o n which Townshend explores himself and the world around him. This album is not for everyone, but it was well worth the $9.00 plus tax that I paid for it.

Nichols denies hard guy charge by Kenneth N. Jones In 1972, Gail Nichols graduated from Sycamore High School, naive in the ways of the world. The question: how in the world did this innocent young lassie end up in the attendance office of old IH? To answer this question we must delve into Mrs. Nichols' shadowy urbanite past. After her eventful graduation, Mrs. Nichols attended the IBM computer school, forseeing the needs of a modern society. The one thing she did not forsee was a personal lack of money. Therefore, she got a job with FiberGlass-Evercoat of Blue Ash operating their "machine". From there, she returned to Sycamore High School "They didn't pay me enough money for all the hours I was putting in." Mrs. Nichols soon quit her job at Sycamore High School for a far better life, a married life. The lucky man was a law student in Toledo and a 1971 graduate of Indian Hill High School, Scott Nichols. The two went on a blind date, and it was love at first sight, a t least for her. "I decided I was going to eventually marry him." The only problem was it took Scott another three weeks to ask her out again,

their students. That was 1976, and since then there have been two additions t o the Nichols family, Erin and Eliot. "They're cute as a devil and have curly hair like their father." The Nichols' plan to enroll their children in the Milford Montessori. "It is a half day of Montessori, and a half day of day care, but it is planned day care, not just sticking the kids in a room with someone baby-sitting." Aside from her children, Mrs. Nichols has many other interest?. ,,.;IS. Nichols has been knnwn to practice her green thumb in a small garden at their Milford home. "I dream of having fresh flowers every day." She had her husband plant 185 bulbs in their yard so there are flowers everywhere. "The only problem is that they usually bloom while I'm visiting my parents in Florida. But for two weeks each spring, my yard is beautiful." She has been dancing since five and giving dance instruction since seventeen. "I always dreamed of being a background dancer, but they always want those people to be of average height." Mrs. Nichols has found that being short is no disadvantage, "unless there is something on the top

necessarily snotty is false, because the children are the mold of their parents." She views her responsibility of enforcing the rules of the Student Handbook with the same regard. "I just enforce the rules. Not everybody sees it that way. I wouldn't want the image of being

March 25,1983 the hard guy." In the future, Mrs. Nichols does not see any great change. "Well - 1'11 be here unless they decide t o get rid of me." That is one thing Mrs. Nichols does not have to worry about. They don't call her "the nice lady in the attendance office" for nothing.

Bergman unleashes mind-bender by John Bergman Many of you who enjoy mathematical puzzles have probably had frequent encounters with ageproblems. This class of puzzle is a favorite of many recreational mathematicians, because they xombine the elementary arithmatic concept of age, with the more complex problem of changing variables. In general, the best way to solve such problems is to simplify them as much as possible. No matter how complicated the problem appears, it is at its core a simple matter of arithmatics. The puzzle that I present here is an extremely typical age-problem, in that sense. Good Luck. An Age-Old Problem I am thinking of two boys whom I shall call Fred and Joe. The two boys have the same date, but were born in different years. Joe's present age is twice as old as Fred was when Joe was half as old as Fred will be when Fred is three times as old as Joe

was when Joe was three times as old as Fred. At present, their ages add up t o twenty-four. What are their present ages? Answer t o An Age- Old Problem In solving any complicated problem, it is always best to map out a plan of attack. Here I have given you the sum of the boy's ages, so one very good plan would be t o find the difference between them. Now, among the givens, we find the statement that at some time in the past, Joe was three times as old as Fred. Clearly, Fred's age at that time could also have been expressed as (J-F)/2. By substituting this equation into the above information, we can obtain the new equation. 914 (J-F) = (J-F) + 512. Then after several more of those good old-fashioned equation manipulations we all know and love, we arrive a t the conclusion that F= 315 times J, and if (J+F)=twenty-four, then clearly F=9, while J=15. That's all for this week.

'Bat out of hell7Roo rolls in 'Hearse' by Lisa Nicolas To describe Rosemary Ward in ten words or less would be difficult, and yet one description seems to fit well. As Cam Cummins says, "She's like a bat out of hell." Usually after sixth period, Rosemary is working to live up to her reputation as "a bat out of hell" by driving her famous blue Monte Carlo, more lovingly referred to by Rosemary as "The Hearse." "I'm always playing the Funeral March (on her musical horn), and besides, the bloody thing looks like a hearse." When "Roo" isn't playing the "Funeral March," she can be found cranking her favorite groups on her car stereo or her "ghetto blaster." Most of her favorite groups are English, and they include the Jam, Adam Ant, the Beatles, Yazoo, and ABC. Rosemary, however, likes almost any type of music except heavy jazz. "I can't stand it when I hear people blowing away on a trumpet or whatever and hitting just random notes, or when you get those fat wailing women. It drives me insane!"

Other than her love of music and her driving ability (or lack thereof), Roo likes many other more "civilized" activities. She enjoys singing and is a member of Chamber Choir. She has also studied the piano for ten years. Rosemary also collects wedgewood, English stamps, and she is an avid collector of buttons.

Nichols denies hard guy charge by Kenneth N. Jones In 1972, Gail Nichols graduated from Sycamore High School, naive in the ways of the world. The question: how in the world did this innocent young lassie end up in the attendance office of old IH? To answer this question we must delve into Mrs. Nichols' shadowy urbanite past. After her eventful graduation, Mrs. Nichols attended the IBM computer school, forseeing the needs of a modern society. The one thing she did not forsee was a personal lack of money. Therefore, she got a job with FiberGlass-Evercoat of Blue Ash operating their "machine". From there, she returned to Sycamore High School "They didn't pay me enough money for all the hours I was putting in." Mrs. Nichols soon quit her job at Sycamore High School for a far better life, a married life. The lucky man was a law student in Toledo and a 1971 graduate of Indian Hill High School, Scott Nichols. The two went on a blind date, and it was love at first sight, a t least for her. "I decided I was going to eventually marry him." The only problem was it took Scott another three weeks to ask her out again,

their students. That was 1976, and since then there have been two additions t o the Nichols family, Erin and Eliot. "They're cute as a devil and have curly hair like their father." The Nichols' plan to enroll their children in the Milford Montessori. "It is a half day of Montessori, and a half day of day care, but it is planned day care, not just sticking the kids in a room with someone baby-sitting." Aside from her children, Mrs. Nichols has many other interest?. ,,.;IS. Nichols has been knnwn to practice her green thumb in a small garden at their Milford home. "I dream of having fresh flowers every day." She had her husband plant 185 bulbs in their yard so there are flowers everywhere. "The only problem is that they usually bloom while I'm visiting my parents in Florida. But for two weeks each spring, my yard is beautiful." She has been dancing since five and giving dance instruction since seventeen. "I always dreamed of being a background dancer, but they always want those people to be of average height." Mrs. Nichols has found that being short is no disadvantage, "unless there is something on the top

necessarily snotty is false, because the children are the mold of their parents." She views her responsibility of enforcing the rules of the Student Handbook with the same regard. "I just enforce the rules. Not everybody sees it that way. I wouldn't want the image of being

March 25,1983 the hard guy." In the future, Mrs. Nichols does not see any great change. "Well - 1'11 be here unless they decide t o get rid of me." That is one thing Mrs. Nichols does not have to worry about. They don't call her "the nice lady in the attendance office" for nothing.

Bergman unleashes mind-bender by John Bergman Many of you who enjoy mathematical puzzles have probably had frequent encounters with ageproblems. This class of puzzle is a favorite of many recreational mathematicians, because they xombine the elementary arithmatic concept of age, with the more complex problem of changing variables. In general, the best way to solve such problems is to simplify them as much as possible. No matter how complicated the problem appears, it is at its core a simple matter of arithmatics. The puzzle that I present here is an extremely typical age-problem, in that sense. Good Luck. An Age-Old Problem I am thinking of two boys whom I shall call Fred and Joe. The two boys have the same date, but were born in different years. Joe's present age is twice as old as Fred was when Joe was half as old as Fred will be when Fred is three times as old as Joe

was when Joe was three times as old as Fred. At present, their ages add up t o twenty-four. What are their present ages? Answer t o An Age- Old Problem In solving any complicated problem, it is always best to map out a plan of attack. Here I have given you the sum of the boy's ages, so one very good plan would be t o find the difference between them. Now, among the givens, we find the statement that at some time in the past, Joe was three times as old as Fred. Clearly, Fred's age at that time could also have been expressed as (J-F)/2. By substituting this equation into the above information, we can obtain the new equation. 914 (J-F) = (J-F) + 512. Then after several more of those good old-fashioned equation manipulations we all know and love, we arrive a t the conclusion that F= 315 times J, and if (J+F)=twenty-four, then clearly F=9, while J=15. That's all for this week.

tones hurt by Peter Carr Know the facts. Stone throwing, a lunchtime pastime, is rapidly developing into a destructive force destined to topple local educational institutions should the activity proceed unchecked. Stone throwing is only bested by drugs and alcohol in its awesome detrimental potential, but the hideous sin remains that lunchtime stone throwing is relatively legal for minors unlike the use of drugs and/or alcoholic beverages. Consider this scenario: a group of idle students are outside enjoying a spell of good weather. It may appear on the surface to be an utterly harmless occurrence, but all too soon these idle students abuse their privilege, not their right, mind you, to spend part of 5th period under the sun by picking up small pebbles found in the area and maliciously hurling them at specific targets. The vast potential for utter annihilation is frightening. Take, for example, a case in which student Y is an undetected carrier of some deadly disease like leprosy. Now Y is a shy loner and, as a result, hasn't infected anyone. Unfortunately, Y decides to indulge in the activity of stone throwing. Student Z is about 30 feet away gabbing away at an incredible rate, as usual. Y hurls a newly-infected stone in the vicinity of Z. Z's mouth is open, and Y's stone enters the digestive tract, immediately spreading deadly leprosy throughout Z's vulnerable body. The popular, talkative Z now comes into contact with many

After college Rosemary will probably continue living in the U.S., even though her "true home" will always be England. "There is so much more culture in England, and the people seem to have different priorities. I really love the p e o a a n d lifestyle here, though." It seems that for Rosemary, the future is a long way off. And for the present, she is content with living in the U.S., binging on chipped snake, and living up to her reputation as "a bat out of hell."

other students. In a few weeks, the majority of these students are dead, and all because of stone throwing. Why, Y, Z and other infected individuals could cripple the entire community! So much for the possible personal damage created by stone throwing. Property damage must also be considered when properly assessing the dangers of stone throwing. Consider the pretty girl spending her lunchtimes in the combat zone of stones. She, perhaps, is the most frequent target. For nearly thirty minutes, persons are hurling small rocks that get trapped in her shirt, pockets, and pants. Then, right before class, she stops at the restroom. All of those dangerous pebbles inevitably end up in the toilet. In a matter of hours, the entire plumbing system of the school is destroyed, and we have a monstrous flood on our hands. Being optimistic, I assume that the students and faculty are evacuated before anyone drowns. However, the building is gutted by water damage, and all of the laboratory mice in the science wing die from a lack of oxygen. An entire school building is destroyed by stone throwing. The immediate dangers of stone throwing are so obvious. So why don't people stop? Well, stone throwers see no damage done to themselves. As a result, they continue projecting these perilous pebbles. Where does the answer Lie? Three possible solutions exist. One solution would be to abolish the outdoor privilege. The administration must take a definitive I

MIKE, from p. 7

The best solution, however, would be for the administration to pass a rule that all prosecuted stone throwers face an immediate expulsion. Stone throwing would instantly become a thing of the past, and we could all enjoy beautiful spring weather without the omnipresent threat of annihilation looming over our heads. Writer's note: I sincerely apologize for the lengthiness of this Student Opinion, but i t is a subject I feel quite strongly about. Besides, Kravetz ' article was even longer, and what business does a high school newspaper have poking its nose in Israel's or any other foreign country's affairs?

has learned a lot about people and the facades they put up. "I hate it when a person is nice and sincere but then, when they're in a goup, they act totally different," Mike maintains. Concerning his musical delights, Mike holds out for jazz fusion. He used to be a hardcore rock-n-roller but now he's into "more tasty stuff.'' Besides listening to music, Mike also plays the drums. "It's a perfect little outlet." Another little outlet for Mike, or "Bay" as he is also called, will be Ft. Lauderdale. As you read these words, Bay and his buddies are driving south in pursuit of sun, sand, and other special endeavors. "We're going to do some partying," Mike predicts. A member of the 13 year club, Mike feels "like Peter Pan. I've liked it here and I wish I'd never have to leave, but then some days I feel like I just gotta' get outa' here." What "getting outa' here" real-

ly means is going to Bowling Green State University next year. Mike is unsure as t o what he wants to study, or for that matter, pursue as a career. "Maybe I'll just be a fireman like I wanted to when I was little." Looking back, Mike has no major regrets. He's a gifted athlete, playing defensive halfback for the football team this fall. He's also played rugby, and is now running track. This winter, however, Mike was a real Mo Facquer. That is, he played intramural basketball for the Mo Facquers. Mike was indeed a contributing facquer in the team's advancement to the semi-finals. All in all, he's a typical Irishman - belligerent, spirited and stubborn. If you told him this to his face he'd probably turn, look at you the way only Mike can, with a knotted forehead, and say, "Oh really? Riiight!" Only Mike Kearney.

step in ending the stone throwing fiasco. To relieve student mmplaints from such a harsh deterrent, students would be allowed to loiter in the indoor garden during lunch. The beautiful foliage would calm the chaos, and the stones on the garden floor are glued down, I think. A better solution, however, would be to force students t o a sense of awareness on the dangers of throwing stones. It has become apparent that stone throwing is a result of peer pressure. Mandatory group meetings of an organhation like Students And Teachers Against Nasty Stones (S.A.T.A.N.S.) could phase out peer pressure and the stone throwing problem itself.

disc review

Townshend releases smooth 'Scoop' by Bi Skidmore Peter Townshend's new Scoop is certainly not ordinary. Scoop is a collection of demos spanning a period from 1964 to the present. Many of the songs are personal, while others are merely whimsical. Most of the songs on the two records are soft and delicate. Black Sabbath fans, and even some Who fans, will hate it. Some of the demos were later made into Who songs - and classic Who songs too. Nevertheless, this is not a Who album, but it is a chance to experience a part of Townshend that is rarely seen by the public. After listening to this album, I felt as if I had just had an all night talk session with him. The intimacy between the listener and Townshend is enhanced by the absence of studio intervention and the personal nature of the tunes. Finally, if this album is a financial success, look for a followup. He states, "I have hundreds of such demos, this isn't meant to be a definitive collection - just a scoop." The album begins with a song that is representative of the entire album. "So, Sad" consists of a soft guitar and Townshend alone. This song flows into the next cut, "Brr," an instrumental. The first song done by The Who is next. Townshend's "Squeeze Box" is different from the Who By Numbers version for

two principle reasons. First of all, Townshend uses an accordion; and secondly, Townshend handles vocals instead of Roger Daltrey. On this track, Townshend's voice is not as effective, although this is still a fun little tune. "Zelda," the next demo, is an interesting song that is extremely addictive. The cut has a peculiar string sound that Townshend says is produced by "two viols, a baroque instrument that preceeded the violin family." Next, "Politician" is a wierd but good song that is a slight satire on politicians. That politician exclaims, "I know when I'm right, I know when I'm wrong." "Dirty Water" is an up tempo song with a country twinge. Kenny Jones plays drums and does a good job. The second to last song on the side is my favorite track on the album. "Circles" is a fantastic love ballad. "Everything I dot1 think of you . . Cireles there leading me back to you." The side concludes with a fun song, "Piano: Tipperary." This is a minute-long song with a piano and what can only be described as "B'goks." The second side opens with an unused piece for Quadrophenia. "Unused Piano: Quadrophenia" is a piano piece with a full and robust sound. "Melancholia" is a fascinating tune that really conveys the melancholy that Townshend was going through. He sings, "The

sun is shining, but not for me." "Bargain", a tune that showed up on Who's Next, is the third song on the side. Townshend's rendition doesn't measure up t o the Who version. He lacks the electricity the Who's Next track had. "Popular" is the best song o n the side. The chorus in "Popular" was later used in a great song "It's Hard." However, "Popular" is even better than "It's Hard," as Townshend's voice is more suited to the song than Daltry's. Also, Townshend shows off his fine guitar playing in "Popular." "Behind Blue Eyes" wraps u p the side. This track was later used on Who's Next, and Townshend's version is neither better nor worse, just different. "Magic Bus" is the first song on the third side. I like Townshend's version better than T h e Who's, but to be honest, after listening to both, I am not sure why. "Cache, Cache" is another Who song that showed up o n Face Dances. Both versions are effective, but the Scoop version is a little bit better. "Cookin" is a simple, slow song. Townshend explains, "I didn't know how much I loved you till I did the cookin'." It is not the best song, but it is decent. "You're So Clever" is a different cut, but I had the same reaction it's pretty good, but it is not a classic. "Body Language" is the worst song on the album. Townshend

talks with an instrumental background (which I don't like) just as in "People Stop Hurting People" and "Communication" in All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes. Fortunately, the song is less than two minutes. "Initial Machine Experiments" is a demo in which he is playing with a synthesizer. "Mary" opens the fmal side of the album. It begins with a slow tempo, continues with a nice instrumental bridge, and emerges speeded up. It is an excellent piece. "Recorders" is certainly a unique track. I t begins with the sound of gulls on the ocean. Then there are hollow tones made by a children's toy - a plastic whirling tube. "Goin' Fishin"' is an excellent composition. It deals with Townshend's abhorrence of fishing. His voice blends in perfectly with song. "To Barney Kessel" is a song with what can only be d e scribed as a Hawaian guitar. The song is extremely simple, but effective. In "You Came Back," Townshend shows off his fantastic voice. This is a very melodic track and one of the better ones o n the album. The album concludes with the famous "Love Reign O'er Me." This version is even better than the Quadrophenia version. I t is simplified, but the passion of the song seems t o come through better in Townshend's rendition. Scoop is a slippery-smoothsounding album o n which Townshend explores himself and the world around him. This album is not for everyone, but it was well worth the $9.00 plus tax that I paid for it.

Fencers instruct gym classes by Win Wells Five members from the Cincinnati Fencing Club gave a demonstration to the junior P.E. classes, Friday, March 18. The five members who demonstrated their sport were Gwen Wolfe, Andrew Pekarik, Jeff Martin, Kevin Leoffler and Mike Contadino. Wolfe, the coach of the club, stressed that distance, time, and speed are the three important factors in fighting a match. WoIfes a highly accomplished woman fencer is one of the five women masters in the U.S. She took up fencing while living in Mexico City where she joined the Mexican Olympic team in 1970. From there she participated in the 1972 Olympic Games where she placed 23xd in a field of 165 opponents. After the Olympics, she fenced with the teams in Cuba, France, Poland, Hungary, and Germany. In 1975 Wolfe made it to the semi~fmalsin the Polish National Open. In addition she has participated in the Pan American games and in the 'World Championship. During this last year, she came to Cincinnati to coach young hopefuls at the Cincinnati Fencing Club. Martin, an Ohio State sabre

fencer, recently won first place in a Kentucky competition. Two beginners to the sport, Leoffler and Contadino, whose fortes are foil and epee fencing also contributed to the demonstration. The final member of the team, Pekarik, recently defected from Hungary with his wife to come and fence in the U.S. While there, he ranked in the top of the sabre field. Wolfe said, "You'll be hearing more about him as time goes on." The members brought all necessary equipment with them so they could give a forty-five minute sampling of the art of fencing. The presentation included a lecture on the types of fencing and one concerning the three types of weapons involved. The three types, foil, epee, and sabre, were all incorporated in several matches following the presentation. The elaborate set-up for the matches included the devices needed for electrically monitored fencing where a touch is determined through electric impulses. The set-up included a metal fencing strip on which the fencers maneuvered while fighting and a machine which emitted a loud beep and activated a small light when a touch occured.

Tennis Braves by Craig Johnson The boysy varsity tennis team, trying hard to better last year's impressive 17-3 record, opens what has potential to be one of its best seasons ever this afternoon against Westerville in Columbus, Ohio. Also this weekend, the Braves will be participating in the Medina InvitationaL Last year the team brought home the Consolation Tournament trophy in that tourney as well as a second place finish in the EHL. Improving upon that second place finish is one of the major goals of this year's team. To achieve their goals, the players realized that they have to be in top playing condition early in the season. The recent poor weather has forced cancellation of many afterschool practices. On the first official day of practice, it was a cold 30 degrees and it was snowing. Head coach David Swisher realized that with the Medina Classic coming up in less than three weeks .and the Sycamore

disc review

match in less than fwe, the team had to get more practice in. "We needed to get some extra practices and the idea of pre-school practice was a good one." He announced that starting March 13 the team would begin having pre-school practice indoors as well as after-school practice outdoors. This meant getting 13 sleepy players, including three seniors, up at 5: 15 a.m.! However, the team as a whole felt that they were both helpful and necessary. Sophomore Brad McCurdy said, "The practices were helpful because we needed to get ready for the season." In order to win the league, the Braves are going to have to play well early in the season. For the past three seasons, IH has lost the EHL title on the final day of league play. Senior captain Bi Skidmore relayed his concern about beating Sycamore when he said, "This is my last chance to beat Sycamore. If the only thing we accomplish this year is beating Sycamore, I'll be satisfied." When asked how he felt about

Quality shot down by John LiUy It would be nice if once, just once, U2 would cut a tune on which they had not cranked the reverb up all the way. Don't misunderstand; these four Irish lads play good songs with interesting melodies and sincere (if at times unremarkable) lyrics about love and war. But they always sound like they're playing in the world's largest and most sound-reflective bathroom. It's quite a shame, too. With their growing technical command, U2 could sound amazingly crisp. If they would only unleash drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. and guitarist The Edge from the kind of smeary, confining production which has marred all of their work up to this point, their songs would take on an infinitely more vivid sound. Certainly none of that echo is necessary to bring out the best qualities of singer Vox Bono's powerful tenor. Unfortunatly, U2 (and producer Steve Lillywhite) should again be shot for producing each and every one of the ten tracks on their new album W a r in the manner to which they have grown accustomed. They really wreck the

the team's schedule, Skidmore commented, "Improving upon last year's 17-3 record will be tough to do. The difference will be in our ability to win or lose the 3-2 matches." Swisher also had something to say about the schedule. "There is no doubt it is a tough schedule. The majority of difficult opponents are scheduled in April. One thing is for sure, April will tell the story." This year the Braves will be playing teams from Columbus as well as from Cincinnati Top teams from Cincinnati include Elder, Lakota, Walnut Hills and Sycamore. IH will also play two Columbus teams, Columbus Academy and Westerville. The match with Sycamore will take place Thursday, April 14, at Sycamore. The team will be out to avenge last year's 3-2 loss, in which all the Braves' singles players were defeated. The Braves should have a much improved chance this year. One major reason for this is that the Braves have six returning lettermen. This

reverb in U2's 'War'

music. Take, for instance, "Sunday Bloody Sunday," the first song on War. It opens auspiciously enough; Larry Mullen is doing his characteristic hi-hat work. And, "What's this?" you ask, "No reverb? Did I pick up the right record?" You panic until the loud guitar wails and electronically-enhanced crash cymbals kick in. "Oh, thank God!" you sigh, wiping your brow in relief. Well, never you fret. U2 have miscalculated in the mix on all but a few of the songs here. (The anthematic production is appropriate for only three or four of them.) "Seconds" wants desperately to be a funky tune, but can't escape from the technological quagmire. The next two songs on the first side, however, are to be commended; twice in a row the band scores with the rhythmheavy sound, simply because it is musically appropriate here. "New Year's Day," the first of this pair, is, lyrically speaking, one of the most sophisticated songs U2 have ever played. On the surface, it is a simple love ballad; but it becomes apparent

m the final verse that the band is more concerned with the real effects of politics on people. "And so we are told this is the golden age," they comment wryly, "And gold is the reason for the wars we wage." "Like a Song . . ." is so captivating that it leaps off the vinyl as a success for U2. Their musical techniques pay off here, and they make their most cohesive statement of political belief. "I won't let others live in hell/As we divide against each other." Considering the band's background in striferidden Ireland, that is a powerfully pacifistic message. The side's final song, unfortunately, is as bad as its predecessor is good. "Drowning Man'' doesn't make it because it-sounds sloppy. That's about all there is to say. Side two starts well with the A percussive "The Refugee." couple of ironic lines make this song interesting. (Regarding the refugee: "Someday she's gonna live in America." Her dreams will come true then, I guess.) Again, though, a nagging guitar smear detracts from the overall worldfunk musical aura.

year the team has added several juniors as well as freshman Andy Tucker. Following Westervine and Medina, the Braves will battle Middletown in their first home match. A ~ r i l 5at 4: 00.

"Two Hearts Beat as One" is good. They didn't mess it up. "Red Light" is visceral wailing with backup vocals and very little in the way of a message, either musical or lyrical. Again on "Surrender," Lillywhite buries Bono's voice, which may or may not be appropriate. Something's wrong with the words here; either they aren't very good or I don't understand them. At any rate, I am unqualified to make any cute comments about the song in general. "40," the record's last tune, is an apt conclusion. It is a slow, pensive cut (not U2's usual forte), and the omnipresent echoes don't destroy it. Lyrically, "40" is a reiteration of a line from the album's fust song, "Sunday Bloody Sunday." "How long, how long must we sing this song?" Bono asks, and his voice conveys genuine melancholy. Looking over this review, I notice that it may dwell too much on War's main weakness, its production. It is an enjoyable and thought-provoking album, and I would recommend it highly. But it is flawed where it could be truly great. I just wish someone would fire the producer; that's all.

Gerry Faust making adjustments to life under the Golden Dome by Kurt Dusterberg To those who are familiar with Gerry Faust, it should come as no surprise that two years as head football coach at Notre Dame University has not changed him. The same grin, the same raspy voice, and the same attitudes that became Faust trademarks are still intact at South Bend. The coach of the Fighting Irish was in town on St. Patrick's Day taking care of business. En route from a meeting to a visit to Moeller, Faust put his Moeller days in perspective. "I love the place and everything it stands for," Faust praised. "I don't really have a yearning to go back because I like the job I'm in now. I have to consider Moeller as a phase in my life, but it was a very fruitful and positive one. I will never forget it or regret anything about it." Nor will he likely forget about the football program he built at Moeller. "I'm still very interested. I always want to see them win," he said. Faust now sees the world from golden domes but not through rose colored windows. It does not bother Faust to be lumped together with his legendary predecessors at Notre Dame.

photo by Kurt Dusterberg

During a recent visit to Moeller, Gerry Faust pauses in front of the doors that helped open the doors t o Notre Dame. "I never really paid much attention to it. And it's the position (head coach at Notre Dame) that is important, not the man. So I can't get a big head. "I do,nYt put myself into a group with (Knute) Rockne or (Ara) Parsegian. They accomplished a lot with their own style. I'm just trying to do the best I can." Faust is hoping his best gets better this year in his third season as coach. After records of 5-6 and 5-4-1 in 1981 and 1982, Faust says he "can see the light at

the end of the tunnel. "I'm not happy with the progress we have made until now, but this year and next I think we will start to blossom." In the Moeller years, blossoming was rarely a problem. Most of Faust's teams were in full bloom as evidenced by his five state championships. Just because Faust has not had the success in the last two seasons that he had at Moeller does not mean he has learned to accept losing any better. "You never adapt to losing,"

insisted the coach. "You have to learn to rebound and develop some resilience rather than sulk about a loss." Faust faced two major changes while discovering the differences between coaching at the high school and college levels. "I think I was too easy on the players the first year. I thought that because they were in college they would be more mature automatically. I had to find a strong but fair discipline. "The other big difference is that I can't actively coach as much here. With all the assistant coaches we have here, I find my job is more to oversee everything. At Moeller I really got more of a chance t o teach." Faust is hoping that more pieces will fall together for the Fighting Irish in 1983, keeping in mind that "we didn't build Moeller overnight. I'm an optimist. I think we will play much better if we stay healthy this year." Faust seems greatly content where he is now. When asked about college coaching two days before he accepted the Notre Dame job two years ago, Faust said Notre Dame would be the only college job he would ever consider. Does it still hold true? "Yes," he replied. "If I weren't here, I don't know what I would do." Then, with his familiar grin he added, "and I hope I don't have t o deal with that problem."

The art of training often hidden by Richard Stradling Having an appendage taped before a game or practice is not the most exciting aspect of an athlete's routine. It would also suffice to say that taping appendages before a game or practice is equally, if not more, unentertaining. There are a few souls, however, who, if not absolutely loving it, do tolerate performing the necessary maintenance of athletes: the student trainers. Begun four years ago by Athletic Director Carol Wehmann and experienced trainer Bill Taylor, the Athletic Training Program is dedicated to the treating and prevention of minor athletic-related injuries. The student trainers accomplish this through a number of methods, including taping, icing, whirlpools, etc. Wehmann, who had performed most of the training duties before

the present program was begun, recruited a group of girls to help and to eventually take over these duties. Wehmann enlisted the aid Miami University graduate Taylor, who is currently employed with Southern Ohio Sports Trauma Center and is a member of the National Athletic Trainers Association. Taylor holds one-and-a-halfhour classes each week for his twelve trainers to ensure their capability in training. Currently, students from Moeller and Sycamore are attending these classes as these schools are beginning their own programs. Besides their love for being around athletes, student trainers do what they're doing for a number of reasons. Head student trainer Katie McClorey sights her interest in sports medicine as a career as her reason for training,

but states, ,"for others, it's just an activity like any other." Though many athletes are not openly appreciative of the trainers' work, most are comfortable in their knowledge and expertise. As senior Marc LeVan commented, "I was in to be wrapped for football, and they know what they're doing pretty well." Football Coach Gene Brindise Brindise, who did most of the taping for his players at Dayton Alter, stated he is "pleased with the cooperation and effort of the trainers" and maintains they do an "excellent job." Listening to coaches and athletes alike, one gets the feeling that Indian Hill is fortunate to have its student trainers. And remember, hidden under all those pads, jerseys, sweats, etc. lies the work of some of Indian Hill's most talented students.

"Mr. Bernard just told me he was sending them t o be judged o n e day, and I agreed thinking nothing of i t "

"I cannot believe that my collage project has been chosen," said Lemmel. "I don't agree with the judges' taste. I despise that collage. I think it's one of the ugliest art pieces ever made."

Head trainer Bill Taylor and Head Student Trainer Katie McClorey.

by Terri Rosen Editor's note: Senior Tern Rosen is referring to Dwight Poffenberger's March 1 I Way o f the Woods column in which Poffenberger stated that hunters are not cruel murderers of animals. So you love nature, Dwight. It is an admirable quality, I assure you. Mr. Jim Arnold told us in psychology class that there is a portion of your brain that controls your ability t o love and hate, and when these two clash, a problem, mentally speaking, is not far off. To think of hunting as a game only adds t o my suspicion of hunters' mental instability. To think of hunting as just a game is only looking from the "superior human's" point of view. Dwight explained hunting

in his last article as a game of "will against instinct." It is a game of will and instinct, but played only by the desperate animal. The animal's will to live leads him to follow his instinct to escape the "nature loving" human's blow. Dwight went on to further explain the game aspect by comparing hunting t o a tennis match. It is comparable, but only as long as one of the players is not equipped with a racket. The hunter seems to find a thrill out of trying t o meet the animal's natural instincts because hunting is about as challenging as taking candy from a baby. It's just too easy! If you love a challenge so much, Dwight, why don't you stalk something that exemplifies

your superiority. The only way that this "game" can be considered competitive is ff y o u choose an adversary comparable in ability. The only worthy opponent t o man, as far as I know, is man himself. How about hunting each otner, Dwight! Would you still feel the same way about getting up at 4:00 a.m "to watch the sun rise" and know someone was ready to play his game on your existence? ! What amazed me most about Dwight's article in the last issue of Chieftain was his need to rationalize his actions. "Is it not more cruel t o have starving animals competing for a limited food supply than t o harvest them through hunting." It seems t o me that animals have

existed quite well for millions of years Tell without us, Dwight, the "help" would of man. you rather fight t o live or have some well-meaning cow harvest you? I'm sure the starving people in third world countries would rather fight starvation than b e harvested by a prosperous world leader. I know this is a ridiculous analogy, therefore making yours a poor explanation as t o why hunters hunt. A defensive attitude is a psychological red flag, telling everyone around you that you have a problem. Hunters hunt because they need t o achieve the respect and superiority that they obviously lack in basic human contact. Anyone who feels the need t o kill a peaceful unsuspecting deer should seriously consider getting a rebate o n his $30 hunting license and invest the money in a good psychiatrist!

March 25,1983 Senior class President Chris Schmalz and Vice-President Ron Zesch met with both Mrs. Sharon Smith and English department chairperson Mrs. Jean Morgan to alleviate the problem. Schmalz and Zesch offered two alternatives: to permit those students taking exams to come to school at 12: 30 or t o move the exam time up to 9:00 and have students attend' their last three classes only. Smith's major complaint with the second alternative was that the exam time was scheduled in November and moving the pre-arranged time wouldn't be fair to those involved. Both Smith and Morgan pointed out that March 24 was a day that students are required to be in school thereby nullifying the first alternative. "I was disappointed with the administration's inflexibility," Schmalz said. "It seems to me that even if we had devised a better alternative, Smith wouldn't have even consklered it because she was set in her ways," Zesch added. Smith could have easily changed the time; surely no students would have been upset. In the future, a sure -flay to avoid such strife is by seeking out student input in decisions that directly involve them or by letting them know of decisions well in advance of their occurrence. If the administration continues to neglect and pass over the student body's views, administration/student relations can only deteriorate like they did prior t o the walkout.

CHIEFTAIN

editorial On Friday October 16, 1981 nearly 70 Indian Hill students walked out of the sixth period classes to protest new administrative policies. Following the walkout, Student Government advisor Mr. Dennis Dowling and student government co-presidents Robin Greiner and Laurie Keller outlined diagrams to the students showing how they could voice their opinions and explained that students' views consisted of only 25% of the input in the decision-making process. Student Government put much emphasis on these channels of communication and insisted that they do work. Although these channels still exist, it is becoming increasingly apparent that student input in the decision-making process is undervalued and often neglected. The result is a growing student rebellion that is crying out to be heard. One example in particular is the ordeal concerning yesterday's exams. Yesterday's exam takers, A.P. U.S. History students, and honors and level two senior English students, learned two weeks ago that they would be required to attend their first five classes and then proceed to their two-hour exam at 12:30 that afternoon. Enraged seniors drew up a petition asking the administration to exempt them from their first five periods of regular classes.

letter to the editor

Bush corrects teachers' facts from recent survey f

The responses to the survey on teacher evaluation which were quoted in your issue of March 11, 1983 included several statements which are not accurate. As chairman of the committee which was charged with the duty of revising the teacher evaluation system, I would like to offer some pertinent information concerning the revision process. The basic purpose of revising the evaluation program was to enhance the educational opportunities for our pupils by providing an improved teaching staff. Many of the suggestions offered by the teacher members of this committee were incorporated in the final version of the evaluation guideline and instrument. Two changes were made in the program at the behest of administrators and members of the board of education: both of these changes were intended to help teachers do better work with pupils. The extension of the evaluation period from the end of the first semester to the first of April was seen as a favorable move for

teachers, since it added two months to their time for observation by an evaluator, and to their opportunities for demonstrating improved performance. The revised evaluation period also brings our program into better compliance with provisions of state law. A related change which was accepted by the teachers on the committee was the delay of assigned improvement tasks for tenured teachers to the following year, which may allow the teacher in question an additional year of employment while these tasks are being observed and evaluated. The second administrative adjustment to the system was the provision for the placement of a teacher on formal evaluation in any year. This move was believed by both administrators and board members to be an important means of improving the quality of staff performance without the delay which formerly ensued under the three-year cycle system. If the effectiveness of a teacher is in question, it is not fair to pupils for action on that teacher's per-

formance to be delayed by an arbitrary rule. The committee met a total of 14 times over a two-year period, including two meetings in June, 1982 to which only three teacher representatives came. These and other related facts simply do not support the statements contained in the March 11th report re-

garding the participation of teachers in the revision of the evaluation program. Sincerely, Harold Bush Board of Education Treasurer

s err on,

March 25.1983

by Kwin P r d l i c h The Indian Hill varsity baseball Braves open their season Tuesday, March 4th. Under new head coach Dennis Dowling the players have taken a positive attitude. This year the baseball Braves have worked harder than in past years. "This year there is a completely different attitude. We are willing to work, more serious, and more enthusiastic," said returning letterman Todd Goldman. The strongest aspect of the Braves' defense this year is definitely the infield. Competition for 2nd base, 3rd base, and shortstop will be the fiercest. The players fighting for these positions are 'returning seniors Kriss Ashing, Jim h o l d , and Goldman along with junior Mitch Theuring. Competition for first base will also be tough. Four men are trying for the position: Curtis Ott, Dan Kremchek, John Knechtley, and Dave Davis.

CHIEFTAIN

Overall the infield is not lacking at any position. "This infield should be one of the most consistent in recent Indian Hill history," says Jim Arnold. The outfield should follow close behind the infield in defensive ability. Seven players are competing for the three available starting positions. They are: Kevin Froehlich, John Gennantonio, Rob McVicker, Todd Hock, Jim Morgan, Ott and Davis. Because these players have close, if not equal, defensive ability it will be their offensive talents which will determine the staters. In the infield as well as the outfield it will be the strongest offensive players who start. "Every player on the bench is capable of performing well on defense. Therefore I have the ability to shift the lineup from game to game in order to allow the .people who are hitting well at certain times to play," says Dowling.

Bri ndiSe forms JV tennis tea m by Andrew Henon The Indian Hill JV tennis tryouts were held last week. Although the weather did not cooperate, head coach Gene Brindise managed to form the new JV tennis Braves. Coach Brindise's squad is made up mostly of freshmen with the exception of two sophomores. The team is working hard this spring to have a successful season and, according to Jeff Gibson, a winning season is possible. "I believe dre have a lot-of talent this year. We can do very well." The team's fjst match wfl be held April 6, just three days after spring break, against Deer Park. Asked if the JV Braves will be ready on April 6, freshman Brad

Smith said, "Coach Brindise has us improving our physical condition. Although the team is not practicing over spring break, we will still be ready." The JV Braves' schedule consists of fourteen matches with only four league matches. Teff Neal feels the JV Braves have a good shot at the league title. "The team has great ability, and I think we can win the EHL." This should be an enjoyable season for the JV tennis Braves. The team has the "ability to go all the way," says Kevin McClorey, "and the talent to win the EHL." Coach Brindise commented, "I'm looking fomard to a good season with a full schedule of matches."

JV Braves to rely on defense, speed

by Kevin Walzer The JV baseball Braves have been preparing for their upcoming season the last few weeks. They open play Tuesday, April 5 against Amelia at home. First year coach Steve Thompson plans to combine effective defense and speed to win games. "Our strengths lie in our defense, especially in our infield, and in our speed. We don't have a lot of power hitting." Thompson hopes that these

strengths will outweigh the weaknesses of "pitching, catching and youth." The team has many freshmen, but quite a few sophomores with JV experience are returning for this season as well. The Braves will play a 21-game schedule, all in the month of April. They will play only eight league games. Thompson predicted that the team "would probably finish at least above -500."

The Braves' pitching staff may be the only questionable aspect of the team. Thus far in the practices John Knechtley, Ott, and Davis have earned the starting roles, Bob Carroll, Dave Jones, Alan Schwartz and Arnold will

make up the relief team. Ctmcb Dowiing believes the starting pitchers will be the key to the Braves' success. "I believe if the starting pitchers are able to go five, maybe six, innings cvery game, we could be competing for one of the top spots in the league. If they can't we may run into ditfidtv." --

Junior Kevin Ertel, IH's bading scorer for the three games, commented, "We played well in the fust game against McNick, but after that we got some bad breaks against St. X, and we were outplayed by Oak Hills."

Fishing and spring break go hand in hand wherever you are by Dwight Poffenberger Fishing and spring break are synonymous. Both mean relaxation, whether it be on the beaches of Florida or on the shores of Lake Michigan. Whether one goes south, north, or stays at home, springtime offers some of the year's best fishing. Of course, some basic knowledge of the water and of the fishing techniques is needed for success in any area. Since the majority of IHers are headed down to Florida, I will dwell upon the excellent fishing opportunities that exist in the southern states. As March ends, many of the southern inland lakes provide excellent largemouth bass fishing. One does not need to own one's own plantation to get in on the action at many popular resorts like Kiawah Island or Hilton Head Island, which contain plenty of bass and, unfortunately, plenty of alligators too. The most productive baits in such ponds are artificial baits which resemble the tiny shad. These lures can be purchased in a variety of sizes and color combinations. Some have a large plastic lip in front of the bait which causes the bait to run deeper. Topwater lures like the Jitterbug are also productive in the late evening and early morning. If one wishes to get away from land and do some saltwater fishing, I recommend bonefishing. The bonefish is a shallow water feeder that is shaped and swims like a bullet. He is considered one of the most difficult fish to hook, let alone land. Many southern resorts offer bonefishing guides for a fair price; and believe me, it is worth it. Bonefish feed on shrimp and other tiny crustaceans along shallow mud flats. They are very spooky, so long casts are needed. They often travel in schools, so if one fish is scared, the whole school swims away. Stripping 100 yards of line in one run is not uncommon for these aggressive fish. Normally it takes fifteen to thirty minutes to land one. Once boated, bonefish should be released unless they

are going to be mounted because they are not good to eat. Besides bonefish, many other saltwater gamefish are available to the deep-sea fisherman. Grouper, barracuda, and sea bass are a few that are commonly caught. Again, the best bet for success lies with a guide. The most common bait for this offshore fishing is the ballyhoo, a six-inch or longer baitfish common to the saltwater depths. For the man who is seeking the ultimate challenge, charter boats go out every day for marlin and dolphin. This summer, I was lucky enough to try this, and it is a blast. The boats trail four or more artificial flies which hop

along the surface. It is really fun seeing a dolphin hit on the surface. If you can fmd a school of dolphin, they can wear out your armpullingthemin. Marlinsarea rarity and should be released beau;;th;;;;s~-fommte enough to be going to Florida, Lake Michigan offers excellent steelhead fishing this time of year. Four to twelve pound fish are taken mostly at spawn as they run the rivers to spawn. Excellent brown trout fishing is also available on Lake Michigan as the water warms. If you are not travelling this spring break, you might want to relax, fishing around Cincinnati. This is the time of year when area paylakes stock trout by the truckfull. The most relaxing way to fish these paylakes is to fish live minnows below a bobber. All you need to do is sit back and soak up the air. Enjoy your break.

by Win Wells For the first time in years, the concert band will compete at the state level in Columbus. Mr. Strider's musicians earned the h0i101 as a result of their winning an Excellent rating in the district competition March 19. The band received a one on a scale of one to five (one being the best) at the district contest held at Colerain High School. This superior rating allows IH, along with Sycamore and the School for Creative and Performing Arts, to vie for awards at the state level.

Each band competing last weekend was classified as either AA, A, B, C or D. Indian Hill entered the class A competition. Mr. Steve Strider, band director, stated that this A ranking was a difficult class; AA rank is reserved for schools such as Princeton and Mt. Healthy, the only AA bands in the area. The district competition was broken into two major areas: performance and sight reading. For sight reading the band had to play a piece of music which they had never before played.

ence, state officers were elected to their positions for the 1983-84 school year. In a tight race, sophomore Tim Marsh was elected Vice-President for OhioAIASA.

The performance section was judged by three judges while the sight reading section was judged by only one man. Indian Hill received two ones and a two for performance and a two for sight reading. Concerning the overall judging, Strider commented, "I think we were treated fairly." He stressed that the two grade in sight reading will promote the in band this section. to strengthen According theirtoability Strider, the band "has learned a lot from this contest."

Strider also commented that the procedure for the state competition will be exactly the same as that in last weekend's district competition. He feels that these contests are objective in nature but stressed that IH will be competing against other "one" bands from Ohio at State. The band performed four separate numbers at districts. These were the "Amparito Roca" by Jaime Texidor, "The Hounds of Spring" by Alfred Reed, and the "Chaconne and March from' The First Suite in E (flat) for Military Band" by Gustav Holst. Strider expects the band will perform "Canticles" by Jared Spears at the competition in Columbus.
