Environmenf harmed b y acid rain

by Dwight Poffenberger It was inevitable. Society's indifference towards the environment has finally paid its price. Pristine sunsets still mirror clear mountain lakes in the Adirondacks, but trout no longer dimple the surface. Osprey, loon and kingfisher, unable to find food have either died or moved on. These lakes have become essentially environmental wastelands. The cause: an insidious, invisible form of pollution commonly known as acid rain. Acid rain is caused by the emissions of sulfer dioxide (S02) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from smokestacks and automobile tailpipes. These pollutants are carried by prevailing easterly winds sometimes thousands of miles combining with moisture in the clouds to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid respectfully. These acids fall to the earth in the form of rain or snow. Some become heavy aerosols and fall to the earth in a dry form. When it rains or dews these too become a liquid pollutant. Where does all this acid rain originate? Well, the power plants one sees driving west on 1-275 are one source. Ohio is the single largest source of sulfer pollution in the country emitting 11% of the national total. The midwest with its coal burning plants releases 80% of all sulfer emissions. Older plants cause the most harm. In 1970 the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) passed the Clean Air Act which increased the lengths of smokestacks and allowed midwestern plants to produce more wastes than eastern plants. At the time it was believed that the pollution would stay put. Since then stricter regulations have been imposed on new plants while the older plants still operate according to the regulations of the time in which they were built. One smelter in Sudbury, Ontario has a 1,250 foot smokestack which produces 2,500 tons of sulfer dioxide per day. How acidic does a lake become before i t loses its fish? On the pH scale of 1 to 14, one being most acidic, a healthy lake has a pH of 8, slightly alkaline. At a pH of 5.5 bacteria which normally decompose leaves at a lake's bottom die and plankton begins to disappear. Toxic metals such as aluminum, mercury, and lead

are released from surrounding soils and the lake's bottom. These metals collect in a fish's gills eventually strangling him. By the time the pH reaches 4.5 all fish, frogs and most insects are dead. Not all lakes reach this point at the same time however. Certain lakes and ponds are pillowed by an abundance of alkaline soil. The limestone regions of the Allighany Mountains enjoy this natural benefit. Other areas such as the Adirondacks are largely supported by granite which can't neutralize much acid. Acid rain is not only a northeastern problem. Rainfalls in Colorado sometimes have acidity 'levels 20 to 40 times that of "normal" rain. In a recent Florida study nine out of eleven lakes were acidified. Recently Los Angeles experienced an acid fog of pH 3 which is that of pure vinegar. I:ish are not the only victim of this nemesis. Acid rain strangles trees from the roots upwards. Details on gargoyles of Notre Dame in Paris are disappearing and statues have been brought inside to save them. Our drinking water may contain dangerously high levels of lead, copper, and aluminum. The fish and crops we eat may contain toxic substances. Not all the effects of acid rain are

yet known. One thing is known - we are only letting our industries hurt ourselves and our precious environment by letting this go on. Right now our very own congressman Thomas Luken is cosponsor of a bill which would only decrease the air pollution safeguards we have.

Pictured above are seniors Angela Farley (standing), Lynn Barton and Marnie Abbott who fared exceptionally well in post season play.

Farley pulled an upset semifinal victory over Heather Hairston of Milford, 6 4 , 7-6, which advanced her to the state finals. During the summer Farley had played Hairston four times and had come up short each time. Farley's reason for her victory was that "Hairston was looking ahead (at the state finals) past me." In the second set tiebreaker Farley jumped out to a 4-1 lead; but Hairston came back within one, 4-3, before Farley got the deciding fifth point. In the finals, Farley lost t o Joni Urbon of Middletown, 6-4, 6-3. In their earlier sectional matches Farley had lost to Urban, 6-1,6-1. Overall, Farley was pleased with how she played.

Increased state funds may reduce millage

see FARLEY, ~ . 1 0

by Ron Zesch The tax levy which was passed in mid 1982 for 8.63 mills is now planned to be reduced to 7.38 mills according t o Mr. Harold Bush, treasurer of the Board of Education. The levy, which will be instituted during 1983, has been reduced due to an increase in state funds. In January of 1982 the state promised Indian HIll $830,000 in state funding. The problem, and subsequent levy, started when the board received a prediction that Indian Hill would receive $400,000 less than promised or $430,000, for 1983. The state claimed that this was because less taxes were collected than expected.

assessed value of a piece of property is thirty-five percent of its actual value. Therefore the assessment of the example house is $35,000, the amount of money which is actually taxed. For reference purposes the property tax o n a similar house this year would be $1782. To find the tax increase difference for the original levy and the decreased levy simple, multiply the amount of miUs by the assessed value of the property. Under an 8.63 mill increase, the tax for the $100,000 house would be supplemented by a tax of $302.05. The new 7.38 mill levy

In October after the 8.63 mill levy passed, the state, in somewhat of a contradiction, predicted a figure of $200,000 which Indian HiU would receive in 1983. The figure of 700,000 dollars exceeded the original figure used to base the levy on by $270,000, and thus the board plans to refund money to Indian Hill district residents in the form of a reduced levy. Mr. Bush said, "The board was making an effort to f u l f a its commitment to reduce the amount of the levy if more state money was received than expected." This was part of an agreement made at the outset of the levy procedure. In order to explain the a-

mount the levy IS t o be reduced, it is helpful t o understand that a mill is a measurement which indicates the number of thousand dollar units of the assessed value of the property in question. For example, the assessed value of the Indian Hill school district in 1982 is $215,500,000. Thus 1.25 mills, the planned reduction in taxes, multiplied b y the assessment of the Indian Hill district results in a reduction of $269,375, a figure very close t o the amount of extra money allotted by the state. An example to show the impact of the levy may make understanding the situation easier. Take for example a $100,000 house. State law says that the

as I see it

One year has now passed since the student walkout last October 16. Nearly seventy students joined the protest in the bus circle to voice displeasure over four important issues. One year later, it is unlikely any protestor could name all four. The walkout issue has been swept under the rug ever since. This is understandable. But let's examine what effect it has today. There are few if any personal grudges still being held. The students have lost no privileges as a result either. It seems nothing very tangible became of what was such a monumental affair at the time. Some people protested for the sake of diversity; it was Friday afternoon and there was an opportunity to do something radical. The thrill of the moment lasted less than a class period and order was soon restored Many protestors came away without severe punishments. Perhaps it is appropriate. However, the walkout may have achieved a purpose. The students now realize and accept that better channels exist for complaints. The administration saw that the students can take to strength in numbers and that their voice cannot be ignored. There is a lesson to be learned here. It is not the students' job to make the rules. That is to be accepted. Nor is it the students' desire to accept what is not in our own personal interest. That too is to be accepted . The administration and students will always be on somewhat of a collision course. Both sides must assume the responsibility of reflecting on the past and applying it to the future. We students can be much stronger by walking out in far greater numbers some day. The penalties can be far more severe as well. But, these measures can only effectively weaken each other. The administration and the students may never be partners, but let us never exist as opponents.

Squaws set sights on state title

Bergman becomes critic in praising Cincy by John Bergman I know what you're thinking. You're asking youselves what sacred American institution will Bergrnan attack this week? Will it be the Broadway musicals? Or perhaps it will be the hotdog? Or could he be so passionately vengeful as to blaspheme apple pie this week? Perish the thought! You needn't worry. In fact, I am not going to criticize anything. But rather, I am going to offer highest praise to 3ne of the finest plays I have yet seen. Last Saturday night, I was fortunate enough to be able to attend Playhouse in The Park to see the play "Inherit the Wind". This play is a somewhat fictionalized, but fairly accurate, account of the Scopes Trial, also known as the Monkey Trial, which took place in 1925. The characters' names are all fictional, but the ideas behind the case are preserved. The setting is Hillsboro, Tennessee, which was, at that time, a very religious, almost puritanical community. Hillsboro had, in fact, passed a law forbidding the discusion of evolution in school. Such an idea was regarded as heathen and dangerous. There was one biology teacher, however, who one day saw it fit to read to his class a chapter of a book concerning Darwin's theory of evolution. Naturally, the townspeople would not stand for this, and so the man was thrown in jail. The play is primarily about his trial. Scopes had been defended, in reality, by Clarence Darrow, one of the most brilliant lawyers of all time, and the lines written

sauce. What Darrow tried to convince his jury was that whether the theory of evolution was correct or not, whether it was congruous with the present view of morality or not, it must be allowed to circulate freely. William Jennings Bryan, who was the prosecuting attorney in the real case felt, on the other hand, that the circulation of immoral ideas could only serve to corrupt society. Now, anyone who read my column on book banning knows how I feel about the issue itself, but what makes the play so great is that it goes far beyond the issue at hand. It is filled with brilliantly witty lines, and characters who seem as real as the people in the audience. All in all, it's one of those rare performances that makes you feel better, for having seen it. I know it had that affect on me! One last thing is worth noting: the acting was, at worst very good, and a t best brilliant! We tend, all too often, to think of Cincinnati as boring, drab, even unsophisticated. If fact, though, I would venture to say that this performance was every bit as enjoyable as any New York performance of the same play. Perhaps the reason why some people do not appreciate Cincinnati is that they haven't given themselves the chance to fully experience it. This city has places for almost every kind of music lover, and all kinds of plays for drama aficionado. Perhaps, if people go more often to plays like this one, they will begin to realize how much Cincinnati has to offer.

LEVY cont. from p.1 would increase the tax by $25 8.30. The net result in this case is a savings of $43.75 for each involved property tax paying citizen living in a $100,000 home. In actuality the school does not recieve any of the money until early 1983. Similarly the tax payers are not asked to pay the increase tax rate until they recieve their first of two bills from the state in 1983.

games left. The team is enthusiastic about its future. Aside from the two league games left, the Squaws will face Summit Country Day in the first round of the sectionals on October 21. Each player has it set in her mind that the team will be victorious. Senior Paula Distler explains: 'We're psyched to K some A and win sectionals!" On October 12 the Squaws played Seven Hills. The Squaws were more than psyched to play because of a previous loss to the same team. Before the game the -team gathered together and carried on a series of ritualistic chants and cheers. IH creamed 6-0. their surprised opposition, Lisa More played an excellent game, scoring five goals in the first half. She was repetitively in the right spot while her teammates fed her the ball in the

center of the striking zone. The team played equally well in the second half, with Laurie Hallam scoring the final goal. The win was a team effort; the forwards were fast and ready to score as the defense backed them up and kept the ball in Seven Hills' half of the field. The proved decisively which team was better in the revenge victory. On October 7, the girls pulled themselves together from the day before to play Lebanon on their own turf. They played quite well; Mary Howe in particular had a great game as she continuously pounded the ball into the net from the top of the circle. The IH defense simply would not let Lebanon come close to scoring. The final score was 3-0. Everyone was extremely anxious to win the Lebanon game because of a disastrous loss they experienced the day before at the hands of Seven Hills. The team lacked its usual spunk and speed, and an anxious Seven Hills team dominated the first half by scoring twice. The Squaws' ability improved in the second half; passes became precise and clean, and they finally scored.

But the clock beat the angry IH team, and they lost the game, 2-1. The bout against Seven Hills was not counted as a league game and left the Squaws' league record untarnished. The varsity hockey Squaws feel that if they continue to play with such vigor, no team can stop

the Tigers in touchdowns, but coach Gene Brindise elected to pass for the two point conversion three times even after QaYid Lindner's first extra point place kick was successful. All three passing attempts failed, resulting in the margin of loss. Had the Braves gone with the place kick, the game likely would have gone into overtime at 28-28. It's the kind of strategy Monday morning quarterbacks thrive on. John Fitzmaurice had his best night of the season, scoring two

championship. The girls seem to improve with each game and as Kris Wilson states, 'We have physically and mentally matured throughout the season." It is evident that the Squaws are ready and waiting for the upcoming weeks' hockey play. These games promise to be the most exciting of the season.

Amy Wiatt and Kris Wilson battle for the ball in yesterday's crucial 8-0win over Summti Country Day.

Footballers take two more on he chin by Kurt Dusterberg If nothing else, the Indian Hill Braves football team has leamed how to take a tough loss. The Braves played the Madeira Mustangs and the Loveland Tigers back-to-back, losing, 28-15 and 28-25. Now consider that both teams were tied for first place and that the Braves could have won both games. Such was not the case last year. Loveland breezed by Indian Hill, 34-13, and Madeira's offense racked up 41 points before inserting the second string defense ina41-28 walk over theBraves. That is the difference this year. The losses are not always laughers. In fact, a couple breaks would have given the Braves a winning record. The Braves will have their hands full tonight when they host the league4eading Deer Park Wildcats. Last year, the Braves were blown out by the Wildcats, 54-14. The Braves 28-25 loss to Loveland lends itself to questioning. The Braves battled back to ecrual

touchdowns on runs of 34 and 68 yards. Both came in the second half and avoided long drives in the Braves' comeback effort. Jim Arnold and Jim Morgan teamed up to provide the rest of the scoring on passes of four and eight yards. Loveland running back Kip Funke and tight end Kyle Hockman each scored two touchdowns to provide the Tigers' scoring. One week earlier, the Madeira Mustangs ruined the Braves'

homecoming, 28-15, despite continued comeback efforts. Jon Capen had a banner night, gaining 200 yards on the ground on 19 carries, including a 64 y a d scoring run. Fitzmaurice scored the other touchdown on a nine yard run around the end. The Braves had another scoring attempt thwarted late in the game when they could not get past the four yard line after first and goal from the nine. Quarterback Dave Banks led the experienced Mustang offense with his passing to Jay Shelton. Banks also scored twice from the one yard line.

Golfing Squaws finish strong in Greenville Tourney by Beth Donvard The Indian Hill girls' varsity golf team ended its rebuilding season with a record of 5 4 . The team concluded its season with a disappointing loss to Centerville on Monday, October 18 at Camargo. The Centerville team edged by the Squaws 213-232. This score improved on the girls' 4 1 stroke deficit to the same team suffered earlier in the year. Vera McVicker was medalist with a 54. Jill Norton had her person-

al best, finishing second with a 57. The girls made a two hour trek to Greenville Country Club on October 13 to play in the 1 8 hole GreenviUe Tournament. The team played very well, scoring 451, but could not beat the top teams of Centerville and Middletown, with scores of 418 and 419, respectively. McVicker, who shot a 91, missed winning the tournament by only one stroke.

Monday, October 11, the Squaws played in their last trimatch of the season, The girls faced Princeton and St. Ursula at Camargo Country Club. The team, which had then won five straight matches, raised its record to 5-3. The girls shot a 245 t o defeat Princeton and St. Ursula, with scores of 262 and 289, respectively. McVicker was again medalist with a strong round of a 44 on the back nine.

The fourth quarter passed slowly as the Indians put pressure on goalie Robyn Hiett, but she held them off to earn the shutout. In preparation for the first sectional game, the Squaws lost to Reading, 6-0. The team was not mentally awake for the game and showed it. Afterwards, Shelley Stanforth said, "We made them look good." In the final game of the EHL tournament the Squaws defeated Loveland, 1-0. The referees commented that they had never seen a more physical game. The game was frequently stopped because of injuries, and several

players had to be helped off the field. Gretchen Wilke headed in a Holly Rodes' corner kick for the Squaws' lone point. Hiett held off the Tigers' attack and chalked up a shutout.

FARLEY, from p. 1 Cindy Crilley. "She helped us a lot and calmed us down," Barton commented. Barton's teammate Abbott commented, 'We didn't play as well as we should have, but we're really proud we made it to districts." Aside from individual accomplishments, the team also had a very successful season. The girls won the EHL championship and qualified for districts, but lost a close match, 3-2, to Centerville in the district finals. Team play at districts was lessened with the loss of junior Lynn Schneebeck who was out with an ankle injury.

rebuttal

Kravetz view attacked as factual

by Win Wells It is my opinion that the letter submitted by Scott Kravetz in last week's Chieftain was nothing more than a brief history of the nation of Israel. The first thing I would like to state is that I am not neo-nazi or anti-Semitic in any way. It is just that Kravetz takes a highly biased look at a problem which demands an unbiased view to understand. I view this problem as a political one not as a social or religious one. The Middle East has been a highly volatile area for many years. The founding of Israel in 1948 was an event which would undoubtedly cause strife among the Arab nations. This, however,

was, as Kravetz points out, a peaceful move. The bombing of the Iraqi reactor at El Tuwaitha, however, was not. This outright act of agression on behalf of Israel was justified by Kravetz because "The Iraqis had participated in many wars and campaigns of terror against the Israelis . . . ." What a precedent this would set! The Germans have participated in many wars against us in our brief history as a nation. If they decided to develop, say, a neutron bomb, would the U.S. Air Force annihilate their facilities? What the Israelis did achieve in this brutal bombing was a very negative reputation in the eyes of many third-world nations. The Israelis, in a matter of minutes,

They d o not need to see their efforts blown to pieces by another. nation. This bombing and the resultant anger of the lesser developed countries was also negative for the United States. These third world countries who see the U.S. supporting Israel for their actions against a third world brother would naturally have some extra anger to vent out at us. Although Kravetz's brief summary of Israeli history was extremely factual (I applaud him on his broad knowledge of Israeli

Kravetz illustrates 'Israel's right by Scott Kravetz Although my last article was more factual than opinion, it very clearly illustrated one extremely important fact: Israel's right to exist. The refusal by the Arabs to recognize this right has created the turmoil in the Middle East today, including the unfortunate events in Lebanon. Israel's "Peace for Gallilee" operation was not an over reaction to the shooting of one Israeli ambassador; it was the just response of the only country in the world willing to stand up to Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) terrorists, who for years had committed countless attacks on innocent people, resulting in the death of thousands of men, women, and children. Yassar Arafat, the leader of the PLO, claims t o be protecting the children of Beirut from Israel, and holds them warmly before a television camera, but does he mourn for the 31 children slaughtered at an Israeli school by Palestinian terrorists? Instead, he rejoices and celebrates with parades and dancing in the streets. This "freedom fighter" is welcomed as a hero in Arab countries for being responsible for such atrocities. The PLO claims that the Palestinians do not have a state of their own. This is totally unfounded. A Palestinian state already exists; it is called Jordan. This state was created for the sole

reason of being a Palestinian state. Both Arafat and King Hussein of Jordan agree that L'Palestine is Jordan and Jordan is Palestine." Some believe an answer to the Palestinian question would be the creation of a Palestinian state in the West Bank. The Arabs controlled the West Bank up until the Six Day War of 1967, but didn't set up a Palestinian state nor were they asked to by the non-Arab sympathizers who now claim such a state would be the "panacea that would solve the problems of the Middle East." The creation of an independent state would not satisfy PLO aspirations for another Palestinian homeland. PLO officials have made it very clear that they would accept a separate state only as a first step toward the creation of a Palestinian state in "all of Israel." The Palestinians came to Lebanon in 1970 after being kicked out of Jordan by King Hussein. Faced with a growing terrorist presence in his country, and fearing a civil war, Hussein unleashed his army on the Palestinians. The PLO took refuge among innocent civilians in refugee camps, but this gave them no extra protection, because Hussein obliterated the camps regardless of the pIesence of innocent civilians. This resulted in the death of 7000 people. Hussein is the one who now cries about the Palestinians mas-

sacred in the Saha and Chatilla refugee camps by the Christian militia. I wonder how many tears he shed when his army slaughtered the mothers and fathers of those Palestinians and drove them out of his country. There is much controversy over the amount of civilian deaths occurring in Lebanon. Although many civilians did die, which is very regretable, the numbers are nothing close to the lies printed in newspapers and said on television news, and certainly nowhere near to the thousands upon thousands of innocent Lebanese killed every year by the PLO and the Syrian A team of American generals, army. including General George Patton,

history), I feel he has neglected to mention several recent clear-cut examples of Israeli aggression, specifically the recent annexation of the Golan Heights and the recent atrocities in Lebanon. His feeling towards the Iraqi incident was the only strong opinion Kravetz pointed out in his article. I will not and could not argue the facts which he related later in his writing. I do, however, feel that the Arabs are not the only reason for the current strife in the Middle East. I also think Kravetz and I look at the issue with different biases, although I openly admit this, while Kravetz did not. History is, as I have learned from Mrs. Loughran, an interpretation of facts in the past. Kravetz has already stated these facts; perhaps now he can interpret them through his own eyes for us.

son of the American WWII hero, went into Lebanon to fmd the truth. They found that Israel did everything possible to avoid civilian casualties, often at the cost of her own soldiers. This article, presenting his-' torical facts and my personal opinion, should, if nothing else, prompt you to ask one question: what kind of hypocritical world is this where Israel, America's closest and strongest ally, is condemned for protecting her citizens from indiscriminate artillery attacks; where Israel is condemned for a massacre she did not commit; where Jordanian murderers are the "fust to cry out," and where PLO killers, whose goal it is to bring about "world revolution," have suddenly become "angelic."

letter from SG

Star Wars b e e med successful The forum committee is pleased to announce that the Star Wars forum was a success. The money hasn't all been counted yet, but it should be enough to pay for rental of the movie and t o help finance future forum presentations. As far as future SG activities go, we are presently gearing up for our Thanksgiving food drive. The drive will be similar to last year's in that the class with the largest bulk of food will win some sort of prize with the donations going to the Free Store. Some students have voiced

concern over not being able to use the "tobacco-use area" during lunch. The administration points out that students are forbidden from . going into the academic hallways at lunch anyway, and that problems from a lack of supervision that arose in the past have been eliminated. Students are reminded that sign-up sheets for class cabinets are posted on the SG bulletin board in the cafeteria. Thanks again for attending Star Wars. Sincerely, Todd Cox & Richard Stradling

NHS makes plans for raffle a n d induction by Shelly Stanforth The annual National Honor Society raffle takes place during the week of November 1. Students can purchase a chance for winning academic and nonacademic items. Each chance is cents and five chances are a dollar. The donations are made by the staff: teachers, guidance, administrators, secretaries, cafeteria staff, and maintenance. In some of the academic prizes, students have a one time opportunity for winning extensions on papers and projects. Other teachers have offered to drop the lowest quiz grades of the winners. Non-academic prizes are also part of the raffle. Mr. Bernard has donated a custom-made ceramic pot. Mr. Norman offers

the chance to win a $60 ad in the Legend. Five tape cassettes of your choice from records you provide can be won. Also giftcertificates to Friendly's, Zinoys pastry, and LaRosa's have been donated. These are only a few examples of the prizes which can be won. Many more donations are still to come from the faculty. The proceeds from the raffle are intended for scholarship(s), depending on the success. Soon after the raffle, another National Honor Society function takes place. The NHS induction ceremony is planned for Wednesday, November 24. A PTA sponsored tea will be held after the ceremony for all new and old members of the Society and the parents of the

inductees in attenaance. The traditional lunch will then be held' for all National Honor Society members. Teachers are currently being contacted to evaluate juniors and seniors who academically qualify for membership. The potential inductee must have been enrolled in Indian Hi1 High School for at least one year and have maintained an accumulative grade point average of 3 -5. The student must also be highly recommended by the faculty. Teachers consider the following criteria in making their evaluations. In terms of service they look for willingness of a student to serve in community or school projects and their willingness to do committee or staff work. The stu-dent must also exhibit cour-

l wenty lHers serve as Camp Kern counselors

by Paul Smith Twenty Indian Hill students recently travelled to Camp Kern where they served as counselors for the sixth grade students from Ottawa Middle School. During two sessions running from September 27 to October 1 and October 4 to October 8, two groups of sixth graders attended Camp Kern. Each IH counselor worked with cabins composed of ten sixth graders. Along with being counselors, the students taught the children many outdoor skills such as canoeing and tracking. Located north of King's Island on 1-71, Camp Kern provides a perfect setting for teaching students outdoor skills. klong with the educational aspect of the camp, the sixth graders are provided many recreational opportunities. The Indian Hill students who were chosen to be counselors went through a difficult admission process. Each potential counselor had to write an essay telling why he or she wanted the job. Also, the students provided a list of interests and extracurricular activities. The final part of the application involved teacher recommendations for each student. This year only juniors and seniors were able to participate at Camp Kern. But this certainlv did not mean that there was little competition for the posts. Over forty IHers applied.

tesy by assisting visitors, teachers, and other students. Leadership is another criteria. To be considered the student must show leadership in the classroom, organizational work, and in the promoting of school activities. He or she must have successfully held offices or positions responsibly and must demonstrate positive qualities and attitudes. The character of the student is also taken into consideration. It is necessary that he or she promptly meets pledges and responsibilities to the school, acts with honesty and reliability, cooperates with school regulations, and demonstrates concern for others. The benefits gained by being a National Honor Society member are a membership card which exempts the student from reporting to study halls, and a positive point on college transcripts.

More than four hundred and fifty editions of the twentyeigth annual yearbook were distributed. Mr. Tom Norman, Legend's advisor, was pleased with the result commenting, "I think it came out very well." Norman added, however, that although there were errors, they were mostly the fault of the Josten's American Yearbook Company which published the Legend.

JV kickers capture EHL with 8-5-5record by Brad Smith The JV soccer Braves shutout a strong Sycamore offense on September 5 to capture the EHL championship. This year the JV Braves enjoyed their most successfull season ever with an overall 86-5 record. The varsity Braves can surely look forward to many helpful additions next year. Sycamore got a meamre of revenge yesterday at SYcamore when they blasted the Braves, 4-0. The game was meaningless as far as the EHL was concerned since the title had already been decided. The game was a defensive standoff for the first half. Braves' goalie Chris Eaton said, 'We played a defensive game the first half. In the second half we got destroyed." The game against Sycamore to decide the EHL championship was the Braves' most important all season. In the first half the Braves looked sluggish, but Thompson woke them up reminding them that this game would decide the EHL championship. The Braves played better the second half keeping Thompson's in mind. In comments the fourth quarter the Braves scored on a shot by Scott Seibert.

The Braves met their match against a well disciplined offense of Forrest Park. The Forrest Park offense kept pressure on goalie Chris Eaton throughout the first half, but the Braves ended the first half in a scoreless draw. During halftime coach Thompson said to his players, ''Quit bleeping around and play soccer." The Braves did just that and played well until the fmal buzzer. The Chargers got two goals in the beginning of the third quarter, but the Braves didn't give up. A fine shot by Erick Metzger made the score at the end of three periods 2-1. In the last quarter goalie Chris Eaton made many fine saves to keep the game close. In the last couple minutes of the game the Braves put the pressure on the Forrest Park goal but came up empty On October 10 the Braves played a visiting Country Day

JV football B raves still winless after Loveland game by Duff Lanagan Last Saturday's loss to Loveland at Braves Field left the JV football team still winless at 0-6. Despite their injuries, the team played what most observers and IH coaches feel was their best game. The Tigers drew first blood, putting 7 points on the board early in the first quarter. Undismayed, the Braves took the return kick off down to Loveland's 35 before their offense stalled. hvelmdscOredagsYlhthe second when Cecil Kelley, the Braves' big man, was speared in the back and sent to the sidelines. After a Braves' turnover, the Tigers once again looked as if they might add some points, but Kevin Viox returned an intercepted pass to Loveland's 20-yard line. Led by quarterback Mike Wentz, showing a composure that comes from experience, the Braves seemed to be on their way to a score when time ran out. The Braves received the secondhalf kickoff and for the

fust time this year were held stationary by the defense. Both offenses seemed dormant, and it was not until the fourth quarter that the Tigers went traveling. When the tough got tougher, freshman . Steve Misali got going and recovered a Tiger fumble. (Some of the IH alumni may remember Steve's cousin John who played in 1970.) After the fumble recovery, coach Webber stated, "If only we

can score here we could win." Then the Braves fumbled; Webber said, "Murphy's Law," and shook his head. The game ended with a 13-0 loss for the Braves. Despite the shutout, the Braves may have played their best game. Coaches agreed that they played as a team and didn't give up. When Kelly returned to the game it was symbollic of the entire season for the Braves. It

took sheer determination to return to the field. No one would have faulted Kelly if he had stayed on the bench, but he didn't quit nor has the team quit. The team now has only 14 players with Dave Kindle playing Varsity. However, the JV nearly won their first game with only a little more than half their original team.

Volleyball teams finish a rebuilding season by Paul Monach The varsity volleyball team finished its season at Sectionals last Monday, October 18. The Squaws were eliminated by Oak Hills after having defeated Lemon-Momoe earlier. The finish mirrored the squad's up and down season. The Squaws finished their regular season last Thursday with a 15-10, 15-9 defeat at the hands of Glen Este to end with a 5-13 record This followed a 15-8,

9-15, 15-10 loss to Madeira last Thursday. However, the team had many bright spots. Their most recent win was an impressive 156,15-12 trouncing of Mariemont on Monday, October 11. The ,Squaws had another victory four days earlier against Loveland, 15-6, 9-15,154. The team's other wins came against Glen Este, Reading and Milford. Their 4-13 finish does not seem nearly bad when m e considers the many close

losses and the fact that volleyball is much more emphasized at most other schools. Nevertheless, the Squaws hope to improve greatly next season. The JV Squaws' season was very similar to the varsity's. The JV also fmished with a loss to Glen Este, 15-5, 8-15, 15-11 to complete the season with a record of 2-12. The team also had many close losses. The Squaws' wins came early in the season against Milford and Reading.

disc review

'ShangoJ treads on new g r o u n d by Chris Blanch& Once again, Santana has cut a fine piece of wax with their recent release of Shango. Continuing in the tradition of Zebop, last year's release, Carlos Santana and the boys have once again broken new musical ground, this time mixing reggae with their blend of his panic-rock. With great success, Carlos decided to use all the same musicians from the band's previous release. These include Alex Ligertwood, who returns to do the lead vocals and some rhythm guitar work. His singing is once again appropriate and tasteful. Most of the tunes on this disc are praiseworthy. But once again, the best song on the album, this

time "Body Surfing," has received no airplay in the Cincinnati area. "Body Surfing," a reggae-ish tune with a Stewart Copeland drum part and a credit-worthy attempt at a Jamaican-pidgin vocal, is the story of a boy's reluctance to begin adulthood. He wants to go body surfing while his parents feel he should start to help bring home the bacon. This ditty cranks. The song which has been played on the radio, "Nowhere to Run," written by Russ Ballard, is decent, but is certainly not deserving of all the airplay it has received. It sounds like every other song played on 'EBN. Sorry guys, nice try - but no cigar. For all the old "Santana per-

cussion jam song" fans out there, "Nueva York" is the tune for you. This song harkens back to the days of Santana's first album, containing all the Hammond organ solos, unorthodox percussion f a s , and an as-usual excellent guitar solo from Devadip Carlos Santana. Side two, track one reveals the piece "Oxun." Basically a good tune with a catchy chant. Definitely Alex Ligertwood at his Steve Perry-ish best. Mr. Ligertwood does a better Steve Perry than Steve Perry does. He hits the high notes with taste, not with Mr. Perry's occasional piercing harshness. Whatever. Enough about Steve Perry. 'What Does It Take," a song

October 22, 1982 written in 1968, has been properly resurrected. Although somewhat modernized, this tune has enough old stuff t o make it. The next ring of vinyl we come upon, entitled "Let Me Inside," somehow reminds me of Bob Marley's "Stir It Up." Must be that Tylenol I just took. The last two trax, 'Warrior" and "Shango," both instrumentals, are both credits to Santana's musicianship: 'Warrior," a heavily metallic melody, gets a tad tedious, but I would still listen to it. "Shango," the title cut, is a ridiculously wonderful Spanish (or is it African?) war/rain/peace chant. This song is "different," and ends with an ironic twist. The "tribe" which is reciting this chant is wiped out by what sounds like the detonation of a nuclear warhead. Nice.

Vincent Furnier continues slide with 'Zipper' by Elbie Herman Many remember Alice Cooper (Vincent D. Fumier) as the lunatic, who in the early 1 9 7 0 ' ~ ~ wrapped a snake around his neck and hanged himself during his concerts. Alice has not changed his concepts on his live performances, which he compares to Vaudeville, but his music has changed greatly. His latest album Zipper Catches Skin is an example of this. Side one begins with a song called "Zorro's Ascent." The song as a whole is fair, the sound effects are good, but the lyrics have no meaning and the backing vocals are irritating. The next song "Make that Money" is of such poor quality it needs no explanation, so just cue over it. The third song, ''I am the Future" is by far the best song on the album; it is comparable to "How You Gonna See Me Now," an earlier hit of Alice's. The lyrics and keyboards are relaxing, but Alice's forceful vocals keep the song from being boring. The last song on side one is "No Baloney Homosapiens," which is dedicated to "Steve and E.T." (personally I would sue for libel). Aside from terrible music, the lyrics are stupid, like "don't eats us, we're no baloney homosapiens." Side two contains six songs, all of which are nothing more than tolerable. The only two songs that are worth mentioning are "I Like GLtls" and "I'm Alive (That

Was the Day my Dead Pet Returned to Save my Life)." "I Like Girls," is the album's single, although it has yet, for obvious reasons, to place on any chart. The song unfortunately has a tacky disco beat and lyrics to match. The last song on the album is "I'm alive." It features Alice in poetic verse telling how his pet returned from the dead to push him out of the way of an oncoming bus. (Need I say more?) The best part of the album is without a doubt the cover. Alice Cooper is widely known for his controversial covers, such as

Love it to Death which featured a hand gesticulation that later had to be removed, and School's Out which contained a pair of women's panties to substitute for the conventional inner sleeve. Zipper Catches Skin continues in this fashion. The front has all of the lyrics painted on it, some of which are very perverse; while the back features a picture of Alice depicting the title of the album. In conclusion, Zipper Catches Skin is just continuing the trend of downward quality since Alice's band Billion Dollar Babies split in 1974.

Critter M a n continues. . . JOE, from p. 7 outside the scnool entirely. Whether "causin' a ruckus" as the Critter Man or the New American Bush Hog (which he describes as "a certain kind of Crittus that runs around in the woods lookin' for some sort of sammich he dropped") or driving around some of Cincinnati's more interesting neighborhoods looking for a Chateau Blanc, Joe is never dull for long. "I like everything natural, I like to go camping and hiking as long as I have...at least the means to make me some sort of sammich. I like to be in the woods, bein' a Bush Hog, with just a hat, you know, just something to keep the rain off my sammich." It

seems that when Joe enters Critter mode, there is virtually no stopping him, though some nasty varmints have tried. "One time I was in Colorado at this movie and this dog tried to kill me," says Joe, and that seems plausible .until he explains that the dog tried to do him in by starting a landslide. That sole incident was has not completely soured him on dogs; in fact he has one (along with the fish in the bathroom") and considers dogs perfectly respectable critters. All dogs, that is, but poodles. "Poodles are varmints; they've got curly hair, they smell funny, and they always get sick". As for getting sick, what's all this fuss about White Castle, anyway?" Well Joe's obsession with

the sammich plays heavily in his love for the Chateau Blanc. 'White Castle is the most original hamburger sammich. But my main 'attraction to White castle is the variety of people there." In keeping with his appetite for different cultural experiences, Joe calls the Taft Road store his "favorite," although Norwood is a close second. He feels his experience at White Castle and other businesses in previously unexplored urban territory have made him more tolerant. "Indian Hill is pretty homogeneous, but everyone of society is at White Castle. At Taft you see everything." Joseph has developed over the years quite a collection of memorabilia from his adventures(o1d chairs, antlers, grocery carts, a fire hydrant, etc.) and in order to get from place to place with his friends, he needs-nay-he demands the most direct route. The recent closing of sections of Miami Ave. for repairs between his house and anyplace anyone might want to go has left him understanably incensed. "These people," he rants "have the mistaken idea that it is in our best interest to take all kinds of detours around this major artery of traffic in our neighborhood." Joe's hours of mobility with Hendrix, Rick James, or The Clash blaring on his tape deck maybe facing a few added hinderances these days, but he seems to be doing well though. For, as Joe himself so truely puts it,% all really comes down to havin' some s0l.t of sammich."

G i r t o n has finally found a home by Richard Stradling Indian Hill High School has traditionally been blessed with interesting faculty members who have done some interesting things. IH's newest faculty member is no exception. Mr. Robert Girton, who replaces Frank Bunton in the social studies department, received a B.A. in history at U.C. in 1975. Deciding against a possible career in law, he answered an ad in Mother Earth magazine and went to work on a chicken farm in Barnes, Kansas. Girton uses one word to describe Barnes: "small." Returning from Kansas, Girton took a job doing woodworking in an Over-the-Rhine furniture factory. During this time, Girton taught a few classes at U.C. and eventually decided to make &aching his profession.

puzzle

Girton feels "comfortabb" in his decision to go into teaching.

by John Bergman This week, I bring you another classic puzzle from the world of logic. This puzzle may be found in many collections, and like many other logic problems, its origin is unknown. I assure you, as usual, that the answer can be logically deduced, and that it works very nicely in the prescribed situation. Good Luck! WHO SHOULD BE KING? Long ago, and far away, there was a small kingdom. The king of this kingdom was a wise, old gent who treated his subjects with great kindness and respect, and everyone was very pleased with him. Now there was only one small problem: the old king had no living relatives to succeed him when he would die. The king foresaw this problem, and he set about trying to come up with a process for selecting the future heir t o the throne. He decided that the king should logically be the smartest man in the kingdom and began testing his subjects at once. The tests that he gave grew increasingly difficult, and he only continued testing of top scorers. Eventually, the king narrowed his selection down to three very brilliant men. He thought and pondered and finally came up with the hardest test he could think of, for this one would determine the future

king. He took the three men into a small room in his palace and sat them around a table. "I am going to blindfold each of you," he said, "and then I am going to put a colored dot on each of your foreheads. The dot that any one of you gets will either be blue or red." The king proceeded to blindfold the men, and then he put a blue dot on each of them. "Now," said the king, "I am going to take off your blindfolds. If any one of you sees at least one blue dot, raise your left hand. Then, if at any time, you realize

AS usual, logic determines who should be king what color your dot is, raise your right hand and tell me what you think it is." After the cloths were removed from the men's eyes, the fust man immediately raised his left hand. Then the second man did the same. Then, a few seconds later, the third man raised his right hand and correctly announced that he had a blue dot. The question, how did he know what his dot was? Try to figure this one out logically, before lookine at the answer. ANSWER TO WHO SHOULD BE KING? Firstly, let us label the men A,

pression was that everyone would b e sort of snobby, but that's not been the case at all," Girton said. "Everyone, the faculty and students, have been very friendly." Girton claims a fondness for three hobbies: reading, gardening and camping. Two of these activities he carries on at his 1875 Victorian home in Mt. Auburn, which he shares with two dogs, two cats, and two goldfish. Girton walks five miles a day and makes frequent trips (though usually not on foot) to Findley Market. Girton has found a relatively "new love" in camping, having just taken his first large trip in August to Canada. Girton is happy in his new surroundings and doesn't regret the various changes in professions h e made to get where he is. He advises students not to worry so much about career choices. 'When you're young," he maintains, "It's not easy to be sure. Don't be surprised if it takes longer than you expect to fmd the right career."

B, and C, respectively. The important thing to remember is that all of the men know that their competitors are very smart. Now, man C asked himself, 'What would have happened if I had a red dot? The fust man, even as smart as he is, would have had no idea what his colored dot was, but what about Mr. B? If he saw that my dot was red, he would have known that the blue d o t that Mr. C saw was his. But if my dot is blue, Mr. B would not know what dot A had seen. Therefore, if B is as smart as h e is said to be, my dot must be blue."

Ill-fated OF )el somehow lives on by Kurt Dusterberg Kurt : "Hello, Borcherding Buick? This is K G Dusterberg. I have a blue Opel in the shop; you said it would be done today. Is it finished?" Man in the body shop: 'Well, I'm afraid. .." Kurt: (Pulling hair out, slamming phone) $ & @ % ! ! This routine became a daily ritual this summer. My blue 1973 Opel was held hostage for 50 days at the Buick dealer thanks to a few accidents I, shall I say, encountered. The plot begins last June. Pay close attention - a brief quiz will follow. Accident number one occurred in Heitrneyer, a subdivision I've never quite understood. It was rainy and I was going out on a date, so I suppose I was nervous. But I will make no excuses. I slid into a stop sign. My fault. My beloved car was now minus a gas cap and a metal rear wheel guard, not to mention a few chips of paint. That I could live with. No biggee. But I will take no more responsibility for any of the other mishaps. I can blame the other guys. A couple weeks later I was minding my own business, waiting to make a left turn on Plainfield Road. In my mirror was a gang of mopeds coming at me at 35 mph. Four of them went around me. The fifth was a geometry major who believed the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. He decided to go over the Car. It makes for a new theorem: the shortest distance between two points at 35 mph leads to the cement. The kid lay in the road bleeding, but moving. Eventually he walked away from it. The moped was swept away with a pooperscooper. We're talking some mega-bent metal. Then there is the small matter of my small car. He did $600 damage. The third time was the charm. The icing on the cake, the straw that broke the majority of what remained of my car. Let us move to the left hand turn lane of Euclid Road at Miami Road. I'm rolling home from the golf course, turning left onto Miami. I've got a green light and I'm going about 30 mph when someone pulls out of the police

station, cutting across two lanes of traffic. I ran into his front left side. Hard. Real hard. 1had my seatbelt on, but it has no shoulder harness. My face kind of kissed the steering wheel. Damage: $1,600 and one liurtin' beak. In the two hours I waited for those efficient people at AAA, I figured it was time to tow what was left of my battered and abused car to the Borcherdin:

Buick Body Shop. The fun was just beginning. After several weeks, my car in two was due to be f*ed days. One night while lying in bed, I smelled smoke and listened to fue trucks blare down Montgomery Road.

IH educators attend in-service day seminars

by Ron Jones Indian Hill School District faculty and administrators attended various workshops and seminars during an in-service day on Wednesday, October 13, while students had the day off. The workshops and seminars took place at Drake Road School from early morning until 3: 30 in the afternoon. One part of the workshop dealt with computers. The Apple I1 Plus computers from the math department were moved to Drake Road School for a demonstration for interested teachers. Teachers also listened to a seminar dealing with the development of motivation in the classroom led by Mr. John Hecksher, a former guidance counselor at Mariemont High School. The majority of teachers attending this seminar were from the elementary schools. According to Mr. Jim Powers the ideas discussed at Hecksher's seminar were similar to those

taught in the high school's Peer Counseling program. Included in the program were the topics of" self-esteem and the development of communication skills. In the Drake Road auditorium Mr. James Crowley spoke on drugs and alcohol and the role of the teacher in that area. Mr. Crowley is from Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he is president of Community Intervention. His lecture focused on the usual reactions of adults, family, and community to the teenage drinker. Most importantly, Mr. Crowley talked about what the teacher can do to help an alcoholic or "druggie" in his classroom. Crowley spoke again later that evening at a lecture for parents. His speech concerned what can be done in order to create a drug-free environment. Yet another seminar a t the workshop dealt with the topic of how a teacher can change careers. It offered opportunities for teachers who might be interested

in pursuing another career, as well as for teachers who might be faced with the prospect of losing their jobs due to declining enrollment.

Cox wins DAR contest by Elizabeth Gorman Student Government President Todd Cox won the honor of representing Indian Hill in the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Good Citizens Contest. The senior class and a group of faculty members selected Cox on the basis of his patriotism, dependability, service and leadership qualities. Cox will now write an essay on an unannounced topic to be judged along with his activities and good citizenship at the district contest. If he wins the district he will move on t o state level competition. Cox commented, "I'm very honored to participate in this program and hope that I can r e p resent our school well."

So on with it. We might as well get all of his sick delusions out of the way right now. To begin with, Joe was not, as he claims, born in Buffalo; he was born somewhere in Cincinnati.

Speaking of Indian Hill (High School, that is), yes, Joe does attend classes here, although he may on occasion be on a different "special schedule" than the rest of us. Not only does he go to classes frequently, but Joe also is involved with one or two extracurricular activities. "I've played football since fifth grade, and I've never been injured before,"says Joe of one of the activities dearest to his heart.

"But this year I've had almost every injury imaginable." Indeed, early in the season, Joseph came across his own personal leg injury, which put him out of action for several weeks. Three weeks ago, when his leg had fmally healed, Joe broke "at least two" ribs in his frrst game back. So much for football season '82. Not that Joe's life is completely empty these days, though.

W e n d y believes in the lighter side of life by Jonathan Groome When- ~ e n d yGarfield said, "Some people think I'm spacey . . . and it's totally true," I nearly fell off my chair. I had to make sure whether I was talking to the same Wendy Garfield I thought I knew or the candid Wendy Garfield I didn't know. I believe I interviewed the latter. Personally, I don't consider Wendy a space cadet. Her interests are far from the dull classroom setting. Whether Indian Hill realizes it or not, we may graduate the next Cheryl Tiegs or Brooke Shields. Wendy has only been modeling for a year and two months but has already racked up enough jobs and opportunities to keep the average model happy for a lifetime. Wendy's most recent and talked about job is her M-TV video cut for the song "Amoretta" tam (I had to check the liquor cabinet for the spelling on that one) by Wheels. She has also modeled for stores such as Shillito's, Pogue's, and McAlpin's. In the area of large companies she has modeled for Velva Sheen, Gibson Greeting Cards, and Procter and Gamble. She has also appeared in Cincinnati Magazine, Ohio Magazine and Seventeen. She hopes to travel to New York or Chicago upon graduation for future modeling opportunities. Although modeling is a big part of her life, Wendy also has many school oriented activities such as tennis. Wendy says, "The tennis team is my family away from home. I've learned what true friends are from the girls. . I love them all very much." Wendy feels that the tennis team is the most important extra-

curricular activity sne participates in. She says, "It's not just playing the game, it's having real friends to count on and trust." Aside from tennis, Wendy is a member of the varsity cheerleading squad. She believes that for her, cheerleading is the best way to show her school spirit. Wendy is active in the DECA program at Indian Hill and spends a lot of her time working at Pappagallo's in Hyde Park. "I love working there because I meet so many new people." One would think that Wendy's obvious career goal would be modeling. But Wendy believes that modeling is very competitive and, if she cannot achieve her goals in that field, she would like to take courses at U.C. and go into advertising or public relations. When I asked her what her fantasy was, her candor popped

up again. She said, "1 want t o ae the number one model in the world, but don't print that because all the girls would say 'Oh my God'.'' Concerning her senior year, Wendy is sad because she will miss the tennis team, but she is excited to get on with the rest of her life. She says, "At least I'm not flunking anything this year!

Ill-fated OF )el somehow lives on by Kurt Dusterberg Kurt : "Hello, Borcherding Buick? This is K G Dusterberg. I have a blue Opel in the shop; you said it would be done today. Is it finished?" Man in the body shop: 'Well, I'm afraid. .." Kurt: (Pulling hair out, slamming phone) $ & @ % ! ! This routine became a daily ritual this summer. My blue 1973 Opel was held hostage for 50 days at the Buick dealer thanks to a few accidents I, shall I say, encountered. The plot begins last June. Pay close attention - a brief quiz will follow. Accident number one occurred in Heitrneyer, a subdivision I've never quite understood. It was rainy and I was going out on a date, so I suppose I was nervous. But I will make no excuses. I slid into a stop sign. My fault. My beloved car was now minus a gas cap and a metal rear wheel guard, not to mention a few chips of paint. That I could live with. No biggee. But I will take no more responsibility for any of the other mishaps. I can blame the other guys. A couple weeks later I was minding my own business, waiting to make a left turn on Plainfield Road. In my mirror was a gang of mopeds coming at me at 35 mph. Four of them went around me. The fifth was a geometry major who believed the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. He decided to go over the Car. It makes for a new theorem: the shortest distance between two points at 35 mph leads to the cement. The kid lay in the road bleeding, but moving. Eventually he walked away from it. The moped was swept away with a pooperscooper. We're talking some mega-bent metal. Then there is the small matter of my small car. He did $600 damage. The third time was the charm. The icing on the cake, the straw that broke the majority of what remained of my car. Let us move to the left hand turn lane of Euclid Road at Miami Road. I'm rolling home from the golf course, turning left onto Miami. I've got a green light and I'm going about 30 mph when someone pulls out of the police

station, cutting across two lanes of traffic. I ran into his front left side. Hard. Real hard. 1had my seatbelt on, but it has no shoulder harness. My face kind of kissed the steering wheel. Damage: $1,600 and one liurtin' beak. In the two hours I waited for those efficient people at AAA, I figured it was time to tow what was left of my battered and abused car to the Borcherdin:

Buick Body Shop. The fun was just beginning. After several weeks, my car in two was due to be f*ed days. One night while lying in bed, I smelled smoke and listened to fue trucks blare down Montgomery Road. They were stopping in the vicinity of my home, which more or less faces away along Montgomery Road. Inquisitively, I ran

out to Montgomery Road in my pajamas at 3: 00 am. If you are familiar with the vicinity or have been reading carefully and know the kind of luck I seem doomed to, you can guess what was on 5re. Right - the Borcherding Buick Body Shop. My car was not destroyed as many others were, but it suffered a few injuries. A few things melted here and there, and the front grill they had temporarily set on the roof melted to the vinyl roof. So you get the idea I wasn't having much luck. Thank God the Tylenol scare didn't happen this summer. I took enough to be a major candidate for the coroner's office. Like I said, I will take no blame. The other two parties had to dip into the bank account since they were at fault. The man in the Euclid accident also got hit with a citation (not the type of car) for failure to yield. The Opel is now back, fully recovered and back in action. Take a look at it in the parking lot some day. You can't miss it it's the one that still smells like it's been through a fire. I know. You are saying, "I'll never ask him for a ride home." Better still: would you ever trust me to drive your family car?

disc review

'ShangoJ treads on new g r o u n d by Chris Blanch& Once again, Santana has cut a fine piece of wax with their recent release of Shango. Continuing in the tradition of Zebop, last year's release, Carlos Santana and the boys have once again broken new musical ground, this time mixing reggae with their blend of his panic-rock. With great success, Carlos decided to use all the same musicians from the band's previous release. These include Alex Ligertwood, who returns to do the lead vocals and some rhythm guitar work. His singing is once again appropriate and tasteful. Most of the tunes on this disc are praiseworthy. But once again, the best song on the album, this

time "Body Surfing," has received no airplay in the Cincinnati area. "Body Surfing," a reggae-ish tune with a Stewart Copeland drum part and a credit-worthy attempt at a Jamaican-pidgin vocal, is the story of a boy's reluctance to begin adulthood. He wants to go body surfing while his parents feel he should start to help bring home the bacon. This ditty cranks. The song which has been played on the radio, "Nowhere to Run," written by Russ Ballard, is decent, but is certainly not deserving of all the airplay it has received. It sounds like every other song played on 'EBN. Sorry guys, nice try - but no cigar. For all the old "Santana per-

cussion jam song" fans out there, "Nueva York" is the tune for you. This song harkens back to the days of Santana's first album, containing all the Hammond organ solos, unorthodox percussion f a s , and an as-usual excellent guitar solo from Devadip Carlos Santana. Side two, track one reveals the piece "Oxun." Basically a good tune with a catchy chant. Definitely Alex Ligertwood at his Steve Perry-ish best. Mr. Ligertwood does a better Steve Perry than Steve Perry does. He hits the high notes with taste, not with Mr. Perry's occasional piercing harshness. Whatever. Enough about Steve Perry. 'What Does It Take," a song

October 22, 1982 written in 1968, has been properly resurrected. Although somewhat modernized, this tune has enough old stuff t o make it. The next ring of vinyl we come upon, entitled "Let Me Inside," somehow reminds me of Bob Marley's "Stir It Up." Must be that Tylenol I just took. The last two trax, 'Warrior" and "Shango," both instrumentals, are both credits to Santana's musicianship: 'Warrior," a heavily metallic melody, gets a tad tedious, but I would still listen to it. "Shango," the title cut, is a ridiculously wonderful Spanish (or is it African?) war/rain/peace chant. This song is "different," and ends with an ironic twist. The "tribe" which is reciting this chant is wiped out by what sounds like the detonation of a nuclear warhead. Nice.

disc review

Vincent Furnier continues slide with 'Zipper' by Elbie Herman Many remember Alice Cooper (Vincent D. Fumier) as the lunatic, who in the early 1 9 7 0 ' ~ ~ wrapped a snake around his neck and hanged himself during his concerts. Alice has not changed his concepts on his live performances, which he compares to Vaudeville, but his music has changed greatly. His latest album Zipper Catches Skin is an example of this. Side one begins with a song called "Zorro's Ascent." The song as a whole is fair, the sound effects are good, but the lyrics have no meaning and the backing vocals are irritating. The next song "Make that Money" is of such poor quality it needs no explanation, so just cue over it. The third song, ''I am the Future" is by far the best song on the album; it is comparable to "How You Gonna See Me Now," an earlier hit of Alice's. The lyrics and keyboards are relaxing, but Alice's forceful vocals keep the song from being boring. The last song on side one is "No Baloney Homosapiens," which is dedicated to "Steve and E.T." (personally I would sue for libel). Aside from terrible music, the lyrics are stupid, like "don't eats us, we're no baloney homosapiens." Side two contains six songs, all of which are nothing more than tolerable. The only two songs that are worth mentioning are "I Like GLtls" and "I'm Alive (That

Was the Day my Dead Pet Returned to Save my Life)." "I Like Girls," is the album's single, although it has yet, for obvious reasons, to place on any chart. The song unfortunately has a tacky disco beat and lyrics to match. The last song on the album is "I'm alive." It features Alice in poetic verse telling how his pet returned from the dead to push him out of the way of an oncoming bus. (Need I say more?) The best part of the album is without a doubt the cover. Alice Cooper is widely known for his controversial covers, such as

Love it to Death which featured a hand gesticulation that later had to be removed, and School's Out which contained a pair of women's panties to substitute for the conventional inner sleeve. Zipper Catches Skin continues in this fashion. The front has all of the lyrics painted on it, some of which are very perverse; while the back features a picture of Alice depicting the title of the album. In conclusion, Zipper Catches Skin is just continuing the trend of downward quality since Alice's band Billion Dollar Babies split in 1974.

Critter M a n continues. . . JOE, from p. 7 outside the scnool entirely. Whether "causin' a ruckus" as the Critter Man or the New American Bush Hog (which he describes as "a certain kind of Crittus that runs around in the woods lookin' for some sort of sammich he dropped") or driving around some of Cincinnati's more interesting neighborhoods looking for a Chateau Blanc, Joe is never dull for long. "I like everything natural, I like to go camping and hiking as long as I have...at least the means to make me some sort of sammich. I like to be in the woods, bein' a Bush Hog, with just a hat, you know, just something to keep the rain off my sammich." It

seems that when Joe enters Critter mode, there is virtually no stopping him, though some nasty varmints have tried. "One time I was in Colorado at this movie and this dog tried to kill me," says Joe, and that seems plausible .until he explains that the dog tried to do him in by starting a landslide. That sole incident was has not completely soured him on dogs; in fact he has one (along with the fish in the bathroom") and considers dogs perfectly respectable critters. All dogs, that is, but poodles. "Poodles are varmints; they've got curly hair, they smell funny, and they always get sick". As for getting sick, what's all this fuss about White Castle, anyway?" Well Joe's obsession with

the sammich plays heavily in his love for the Chateau Blanc. 'White Castle is the most original hamburger sammich. But my main 'attraction to White castle is the variety of people there." In keeping with his appetite for different cultural experiences, Joe calls the Taft Road store his "favorite," although Norwood is a close second. He feels his experience at White Castle and other businesses in previously unexplored urban territory have made him more tolerant. "Indian Hill is pretty homogeneous, but everyone of society is at White Castle. At Taft you see everything." Joseph has developed over the years quite a collection of memorabilia from his adventures(o1d chairs, antlers, grocery carts, a fire hydrant, etc.) and in order to get from place to place with his friends, he needs-nay-he demands the most direct route. The recent closing of sections of Miami Ave. for repairs between his house and anyplace anyone might want to go has left him understanably incensed. "These people," he rants "have the mistaken idea that it is in our best interest to take all kinds of detours around this major artery of traffic in our neighborhood." Joe's hours of mobility with Hendrix, Rick James, or The Clash blaring on his tape deck maybe facing a few added hinderances these days, but he seems to be doing well though. For, as Joe himself so truely puts it,% all really comes down to havin' some s0l.t of sammich."

IH's newest faculty member is no exception. Mr. Robert Girton, who replaces Frank Bunton in the social studies department, received a B.A. in history at U.C. in 1975. Deciding against a possible career in law, he answered an ad in Mother Earth magazine and went to work on a chicken farm in Barnes, Kansas. Girton uses one word to describe Barnes: "small." Returning from Kansas, Girton took a job doing woodworking in an Over-the-Rhine furniture factory. During this time, Girton taught a few classes at U.C. and eventually decided to make &aching his profession.

This is Girton's first job since receiving his masters in education from U.C. and he feels "comfortable" in his decision.

puzzle

Girton feels "comfortabb" in his decision to go into teaching.

by John Bergman This week, I bring you another classic puzzle from the world of logic. This puzzle may be found in many collections, and like many other logic problems, its origin is unknown. I assure you, as usual, that the answer can be logically deduced, and that it works very nicely in the prescribed situation. Good Luck! WHO SHOULD BE KING? Long ago, and far away, there was a small kingdom. The king of this kingdom was a wise, old gent who treated his subjects with great kindness and respect, and everyone was very pleased with him. Now there was only one small problem: the old king had no living relatives to succeed him when he would die. The king foresaw this problem, and he set about trying to come up with a process for selecting the future heir t o the throne. He decided that the king should logically be the smartest man in the kingdom and began testing his subjects at once. The tests that he gave grew increasingly difficult, and he only continued testing of top scorers. Eventually, the king narrowed his selection down to three very brilliant men. He thought and pondered and finally came up with the hardest test he could think of, for this one would determine the future

king. He took the three men into a small room in his palace and sat them around a table. "I am going to blindfold each of you," he said, "and then I am going to put a colored dot on each of your foreheads. The dot that any one of you gets will either be blue or red." The king proceeded to blindfold the men, and then he put a blue dot on each of them. "Now," said the king, "I am going to take off your blindfolds. If any one of you sees at least one blue dot, raise your left hand. Then, if at any time, you realize

AS usual, logic determines who should be king what color your dot is, raise your right hand and tell me what you think it is." After the cloths were removed from the men's eyes, the fust man immediately raised his left hand. Then the second man did the same. Then, a few seconds later, the third man raised his right hand and correctly announced that he had a blue dot. The question, how did he know what his dot was? Try to figure this one out logically, before lookine at the answer. ANSWER TO WHO SHOULD BE KING? Firstly, let us label the men A,

pression was that everyone would b e sort of snobby, but that's not been the case at all," Girton said. "Everyone, the faculty and students, have been very friendly." Girton claims a fondness for three hobbies: reading, gardening and camping. Two of these activities he carries on at his 1875 Victorian home in Mt. Auburn, which he shares with two dogs, two cats, and two goldfish. Girton walks five miles a day and makes frequent trips (though usually not on foot) to Findley Market. Girton has found a relatively "new love" in camping, having just taken his first large trip in August to Canada. Girton is happy in his new surroundings and doesn't regret the various changes in professions h e made to get where he is. He advises students not to worry so much about career choices. 'When you're young," he maintains, "It's not easy to be sure. Don't be surprised if it takes longer than you expect to fmd the right career."

B, and C, respectively. The important thing to remember is that all of the men know that their competitors are very smart. Now, man C asked himself, 'What would have happened if I had a red dot? The fust man, even as smart as he is, would have had no idea what his colored dot was, but what about Mr. B? If he saw that my dot was red, he would have known that the blue d o t that Mr. C saw was his. But if my dot is blue, Mr. B would not know what dot A had seen. Therefore, if B is as smart as h e is said to be, my dot must be blue."

NHS makes plans for raffle a n d induction by Shelly Stanforth The annual National Honor Society raffle takes place during the week of November 1. Students can purchase a chance for winning academic and nonacademic items. Each chance is cents and five chances are a dollar. The donations are made by the staff: teachers, guidance, administrators, secretaries, cafeteria staff, and maintenance. In some of the academic prizes, students have a one time opportunity for winning extensions on papers and projects. Other teachers have offered to drop the lowest quiz grades of the winners. Non-academic prizes are also part of the raffle. Mr. Bernard has donated a custom-made ceramic pot. Mr. Norman offers

the chance to win a $60 ad in the Legend. Five tape cassettes of your choice from records you provide can be won. Also giftcertificates to Friendly's, Zinoys pastry, and LaRosa's have been donated. These are only a few examples of the prizes which can be won. Many more donations are still to come from the faculty. The proceeds from the raffle are intended for scholarship(s), depending on the success. Soon after the raffle, another National Honor Society function takes place. The NHS induction ceremony is planned for Wednesday, November 24. A PTA sponsored tea will be held after the ceremony for all new and old members of the Society and the parents of the

inductees in attenaance. The traditional lunch will then be held' for all National Honor Society members. Teachers are currently being contacted to evaluate juniors and seniors who academically qualify for membership. The potential inductee must have been enrolled in Indian Hi1 High School for at least one year and have maintained an accumulative grade point average of 3 -5. The student must also be highly recommended by the faculty. Teachers consider the following criteria in making their evaluations. In terms of service they look for willingness of a student to serve in community or school projects and their willingness to do committee or staff work. The stu-dent must also exhibit cour-

l wenty lHers serve as Camp Kern counselors

by Paul Smith Twenty Indian Hill students recently travelled to Camp Kern where they served as counselors for the sixth grade students from Ottawa Middle School. During two sessions running from September 27 to October 1 and October 4 to October 8, two groups of sixth graders attended Camp Kern. Each IH counselor worked with cabins composed of ten sixth graders. Along with being counselors, the students taught the children many outdoor skills such as canoeing and tracking. Located north of King's Island on 1-71, Camp Kern provides a perfect setting for teaching students outdoor skills. klong with the educational aspect of the camp, the sixth graders are provided many recreational opportunities. The Indian Hill students who were chosen to be counselors went through a difficult admission process. Each potential counselor had to write an essay telling why he or she wanted the job. Also, the students provided a list of interests and extracurricular activities. The final part of the application involved teacher recommendations for each student. This year only juniors and seniors were able to participate at Camp Kern. But this certainlv did not mean that there was little competition for the posts. Over forty IHers applied.

tesy by assisting visitors, teachers, and other students. Leadership is another criteria. To be considered the student must show leadership in the classroom, organizational work, and in the promoting of school activities. He or she must have successfully held offices or positions responsibly and must demonstrate positive qualities and attitudes. The character of the student is also taken into consideration. It is necessary that he or she promptly meets pledges and responsibilities to the school, acts with honesty and reliability, cooperates with school regulations, and demonstrates concern for others. The benefits gained by being a National Honor Society member are a membership card which exempts the student from reporting to study halls, and a positive point on college transcripts.

More than four hundred and fifty editions of the twentyeigth annual yearbook were distributed. Mr. Tom Norman, Legend's advisor, was pleased with the result commenting, "I think it came out very well." Norman added, however, that although there were errors, they were mostly the fault of the Josten's American Yearbook Company which published the Legend. Chieftain News Editor Ron Zesch feels that, although it is L~gend, "It is kinda' good and stuff."

JV kickers capture EHL with 8-5-5record by Brad Smith The JV soccer Braves shutout a strong Sycamore offense on September 5 to capture the EHL championship. This year the JV Braves enjoyed their most successfull season ever with an overall 86-5 record. The varsity Braves can surely look forward to many helpful additions next year. Sycamore got a meamre of revenge yesterday at SYcamore when they blasted the Braves, 4-0. The game was meaningless as far as the EHL was concerned since the title had already been decided. The game was a defensive standoff for the first half. Braves' goalie Chris Eaton said, 'We played a defensive game the first half. In the second half we got destroyed." The game against Sycamore to decide the EHL championship was the Braves' most important all season. In the first half the Braves looked sluggish, but Thompson woke them up reminding them that this game would decide the EHL championship. The Braves played better the second half keeping Thompson's in mind. In comments the fourth quarter the Braves scored on a shot by Scott Seibert.

The Braves met their match against a well disciplined offense of Forrest Park. The Forrest Park offense kept pressure on goalie Chris Eaton throughout the first half, but the Braves ended the first half in a scoreless draw. During halftime coach Thompson said to his players, ''Quit bleeping around and play soccer." The Braves did just that and played well until the fmal buzzer. The Chargers got two goals in the beginning of the third quarter, but the Braves didn't give up. A fine shot by Erick Metzger made the score at the end of three periods 2-1. In the last quarter goalie Chris Eaton made many fine saves to keep the game close. In the last couple minutes of the game the Braves put the pressure on the Forrest Park goal but came up empty On October 10 the Braves played a visiting Country Day

JV football B raves still winless after Loveland game by Duff Lanagan Last Saturday's loss to Loveland at Braves Field left the JV football team still winless at 0-6. Despite their injuries, the team played what most observers and IH coaches feel was their best game. The Tigers drew first blood, putting 7 points on the board early in the first quarter. Undismayed, the Braves took the return kick off down to Loveland's 35 before their offense stalled. hvelmdscOredagsYlhthe second when Cecil Kelley, the Braves' big man, was speared in the back and sent to the sidelines. After a Braves' turnover, the Tigers once again looked as if they might add some points, but Kevin Viox returned an intercepted pass to Loveland's 20-yard line. Led by quarterback Mike Wentz, showing a composure that comes from experience, the Braves seemed to be on their way to a score when time ran out. The Braves received the secondhalf kickoff and for the

fust time this year were held stationary by the defense. Both offenses seemed dormant, and it was not until the fourth quarter that the Tigers went traveling. When the tough got tougher, freshman . Steve Misali got going and recovered a Tiger fumble. (Some of the IH alumni may remember Steve's cousin John who played in 1970.) After the fumble recovery, coach Webber stated, "If only we

can score here we could win." Then the Braves fumbled; Webber said, "Murphy's Law," and shook his head. The game ended with a 13-0 loss for the Braves. Despite the shutout, the Braves may have played their best game. Coaches agreed that they played as a team and didn't give up. When Kelly returned to the game it was symbollic of the entire season for the Braves. It

took sheer determination to return to the field. No one would have faulted Kelly if he had stayed on the bench, but he didn't quit nor has the team quit. The team now has only 14 players with Dave Kindle playing Varsity. However, the JV nearly won their first game with only a little more than half their original team.

Volleyball teams finish a rebuilding season by Paul Monach The varsity volleyball team finished its season at Sectionals last Monday, October 18. The Squaws were eliminated by Oak Hills after having defeated Lemon-Momoe earlier. The finish mirrored the squad's up and down season. The Squaws finished their regular season last Thursday with a 15-10, 15-9 defeat at the hands of Glen Este to end with a 5-13 record This followed a 15-8,

9-15, 15-10 loss to Madeira last Thursday. However, the team had many bright spots. Their most recent win was an impressive 156,15-12 trouncing of Mariemont on Monday, October 11. The ,Squaws had another victory four days earlier against Loveland, 15-6, 9-15,154. The team's other wins came against Glen Este, Reading and Milford. Their 4-13 finish does not seem nearly bad when m e considers the many close

losses and the fact that volleyball is much more emphasized at most other schools. Nevertheless, the Squaws hope to improve greatly next season. The JV Squaws' season was very similar to the varsity's. The JV also fmished with a loss to Glen Este, 15-5, 8-15, 15-11 to complete the season with a record of 2-12. The team also had many close losses. The Squaws' wins came early in the season against Milford and Reading.

The game was frequently stopped because of injuries, and several

players had to be helped off the field. Gretchen Wilke headed in a Holly Rodes' corner kick for the Squaws' lone point. Hiett held off the Tigers' attack and chalked up a shutout.

The girls won the EHL championship and qualified for districts, but lost a close match, 3-2, to Centerville in the district finals. Team play at districts was lessened with the loss of junior Lynn Schneebeck who was out with an ankle injury.

rebuttal

Kravetz view attacked as factual

by Win Wells It is my opinion that the letter submitted by Scott Kravetz in last week's Chieftain was nothing more than a brief history of the nation of Israel. The first thing I would like to state is that I am not neo-nazi or anti-Semitic in any way. It is just that Kravetz takes a highly biased look at a problem which demands an unbiased view to understand. I view this problem as a political one not as a social or religious one. The Middle East has been a highly volatile area for many years. The founding of Israel in 1948 was an event which would undoubtedly cause strife among the Arab nations. This, however,

was, as Kravetz points out, a peaceful move. The bombing of the Iraqi reactor at El Tuwaitha, however, was not. This outright act of agression on behalf of Israel was justified by Kravetz because "The Iraqis had participated in many wars and campaigns of terror against the Israelis . . . ." What a precedent this would set! The Germans have participated in many wars against us in our brief history as a nation. If they decided to develop, say, a neutron bomb, would the U.S. Air Force annihilate their facilities? What the Israelis did achieve in this brutal bombing was a very negative reputation in the eyes of many third-world nations. The Israelis, in a matter of minutes,

student opinion

had destroyed an example of Iraqi technology. The third world countries loathed this because they need other countries t o help them with technology to. better their own countries. They d o not need to see their efforts blown to pieces by another. nation. This bombing and the resultant anger of the lesser developed countries was also negative for the United States. These third world countries who see the U.S. supporting Israel for their actions against a third world brother would naturally have some extra anger to vent out at us. Although Kravetz's brief summary of Israeli history was extremely factual (I applaud him on his broad knowledge of Israeli

Kravetz illustrates 'Israel's right by Scott Kravetz Although my last article was more factual than opinion, it very clearly illustrated one extremely important fact: Israel's right to exist. The refusal by the Arabs to recognize this right has created the turmoil in the Middle East today, including the unfortunate events in Lebanon. Israel's "Peace for Gallilee" operation was not an over reaction to the shooting of one Israeli ambassador; it was the just response of the only country in the world willing to stand up to Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) terrorists, who for years had committed countless attacks on innocent people, resulting in the death of thousands of men, women, and children. Yassar Arafat, the leader of the PLO, claims t o be protecting the children of Beirut from Israel, and holds them warmly before a television camera, but does he mourn for the 31 children slaughtered at an Israeli school by Palestinian terrorists? Instead, he rejoices and celebrates with parades and dancing in the streets. This "freedom fighter" is welcomed as a hero in Arab countries for being responsible for such atrocities. The PLO claims that the Palestinians do not have a state of their own. This is totally unfounded. A Palestinian state already exists; it is called Jordan. This state was created for the sole

reason of being a Palestinian state. Both Arafat and King Hussein of Jordan agree that L'Palestine is Jordan and Jordan is Palestine." Some believe an answer to the Palestinian question would be the creation of a Palestinian state in the West Bank. The Arabs controlled the West Bank up until the Six Day War of 1967, but didn't set up a Palestinian state nor were they asked to by the non-Arab sympathizers who now claim such a state would be the "panacea that would solve the problems of the Middle East." The creation of an independent state would not satisfy PLO aspirations for another Palestinian homeland. PLO officials have made it very clear that they would accept a separate state only as a first step toward the creation of a Palestinian state in "all of Israel." The Palestinians came to Lebanon in 1970 after being kicked out of Jordan by King Hussein. Faced with a growing terrorist presence in his country, and fearing a civil war, Hussein unleashed his army on the Palestinians. The PLO took refuge among innocent civilians in refugee camps, but this gave them no extra protection, because Hussein obliterated the camps regardless of the pIesence of innocent civilians. This resulted in the death of 7000 people. Hussein is the one who now cries about the Palestinians mas-

sacred in the Saha and Chatilla refugee camps by the Christian militia. I wonder how many tears he shed when his army slaughtered the mothers and fathers of those Palestinians and drove them out of his country. There is much controversy over the amount of civilian deaths occurring in Lebanon. Although many civilians did die, which is very regretable, the numbers are nothing close to the lies printed in newspapers and said on television news, and certainly nowhere near to the thousands upon thousands of innocent Lebanese killed every year by the PLO and the Syrian A team of American generals, army. including General George Patton,

history), I feel he has neglected to mention several recent clear-cut examples of Israeli aggression, specifically the recent annexation of the Golan Heights and the recent atrocities in Lebanon. His feeling towards the Iraqi incident was the only strong opinion Kravetz pointed out in his article. I will not and could not argue the facts which he related later in his writing. I do, however, feel that the Arabs are not the only reason for the current strife in the Middle East. I also think Kravetz and I look at the issue with different biases, although I openly admit this, while Kravetz did not. History is, as I have learned from Mrs. Loughran, an interpretation of facts in the past. Kravetz has already stated these facts; perhaps now he can interpret them through his own eyes for us.

son of the American WWII hero, went into Lebanon to fmd the truth. They found that Israel did everything possible to avoid civilian casualties, often at the cost of her own soldiers. This article, presenting his-' torical facts and my personal opinion, should, if nothing else, prompt you to ask one question: what kind of hypocritical world is this where Israel, America's closest and strongest ally, is condemned for protecting her citizens from indiscriminate artillery attacks; where Israel is condemned for a massacre she did not commit; where Jordanian murderers are the "fust to cry out," and where PLO killers, whose goal it is to bring about "world revolution," have suddenly become "angelic."

letter from SG

Star Wars b e e med successful The forum committee is pleased to announce that the Star Wars forum was a success. The money hasn't all been counted yet, but it should be enough to pay for rental of the movie and t o help finance future forum presentations. As far as future SG activities go, we are presently gearing up for our Thanksgiving food drive. The drive will be similar to last year's in that the class with the largest bulk of food will win some sort of prize with the donations going to the Free Store. Some students have voiced

concern over not being able to use the "tobacco-use area" during lunch. The administration points out that students are forbidden from . going into the academic hallways at lunch anyway, and that problems from a lack of supervision that arose in the past have been eliminated. Students are reminded that sign-up sheets for class cabinets are posted on the SG bulletin board in the cafeteria. Thanks again for attending Star Wars. Sincerely, Todd Cox & Richard Stradling

editorial

as I see it

One year has now passed since the student walkout last October 16. Nearly seventy students joined the protest in the bus circle to voice displeasure over four important issues. One year later, it is unlikely any protestor could name all four. The walkout issue has been swept under the rug ever since. This is understandable. But let's examine what effect it has today. There are few if any personal grudges still being held. The students have lost no privileges as a result either. It seems nothing very tangible became of what was such a monumental affair at the time. Some people protested for the sake of diversity; it was Friday afternoon and there was an opportunity to do something radical. The thrill of the moment lasted less than a class period and order was soon restored Many protestors came away without severe punishments. Perhaps it is appropriate. However, the walkout may have achieved a purpose. The students now realize and accept that better channels exist for complaints. The administration saw that the students can take to strength in numbers and that their voice cannot be ignored. There is a lesson to be learned here. It is not the students' job to make the rules. That is to be accepted. Nor is it the students' desire to accept what is not in our own personal interest. That too is to be accepted . The administration and students will always be on somewhat of a collision course. Both sides must assume the responsibility of reflecting on the past and applying it to the future. We students can be much stronger by walking out in far greater numbers some day. The penalties can be far more severe as well. But, these measures can only effectively weaken each other. The administration and the students may never be partners, but let us never exist as opponents.

Squaws set sights on state title

Bergman becomes critic in praising Cincy by John Bergman I know what you're thinking. You're asking youselves what sacred American institution will Bergrnan attack this week? Will it be the Broadway musicals? Or perhaps it will be the hotdog? Or could he be so passionately vengeful as to blaspheme apple pie this week? Perish the thought! You needn't worry. In fact, I am not going to criticize anything. But rather, I am going to offer highest praise to 3ne of the finest plays I have yet seen. Last Saturday night, I was fortunate enough to be able to attend Playhouse in The Park to see the play "Inherit the Wind". This play is a somewhat fictionalized, but fairly accurate, account of the Scopes Trial, also known as the Monkey Trial, which took place in 1925. The characters' names are all fictional, but the ideas behind the case are preserved. The setting is Hillsboro, Tennessee, which was, at that time, a very religious, almost puritanical community. Hillsboro had, in fact, passed a law forbidding the discusion of evolution in school. Such an idea was regarded as heathen and dangerous. There was one biology teacher, however, who one day saw it fit to read to his class a chapter of a book concerning Darwin's theory of evolution. Naturally, the townspeople would not stand for this, and so the man was thrown in jail. The play is primarily about his trial. Scopes had been defended, in reality, by Clarence Darrow, one of the most brilliant lawyers of all time, and the lines written

sauce. What Darrow tried to convince his jury was that whether the theory of evolution was correct or not, whether it was congruous with the present view of morality or not, it must be allowed to circulate freely. William Jennings Bryan, who was the prosecuting attorney in the real case felt, on the other hand, that the circulation of immoral ideas could only serve to corrupt society. Now, anyone who read my column on book banning knows how I feel about the issue itself, but what makes the play so great is that it goes far beyond the issue at hand. It is filled with brilliantly witty lines, and characters who seem as real as the people in the audience. All in all, it's one of those rare performances that makes you feel better, for having seen it. I know it had that affect on me! One last thing is worth noting: the acting was, at worst very good, and a t best brilliant! We tend, all too often, to think of Cincinnati as boring, drab, even unsophisticated. If fact, though, I would venture to say that this performance was every bit as enjoyable as any New York performance of the same play. Perhaps the reason why some people do not appreciate Cincinnati is that they haven't given themselves the chance to fully experience it. This city has places for almost every kind of music lover, and all kinds of plays for drama aficionado. Perhaps, if people go more often to plays like this one, they will begin to realize how much Cincinnati has to offer.

In actuality the school does not recieve any of the money until early 1983. Similarly the tax payers are not asked to pay the increase tax rate until they recieve their first of two bills from the state in 1983.

games left. The team is enthusiastic about its future. Aside from the two league games left, the Squaws will face Summit Country Day in the first round of the sectionals on October 21. Each player has it set in her mind that the team will be victorious. Senior Paula Distler explains: 'We're psyched to K some A and win sectionals!" On October 12 the Squaws played Seven Hills. The Squaws were more than psyched to play because of a previous loss to the same team. Before the game the -team gathered together and carried on a series of ritualistic chants and cheers. IH creamed 6-0. their surprised opposition, Lisa More played an excellent game, scoring five goals in the first half. She was repetitively in the right spot while her teammates fed her the ball in the

center of the striking zone. The team played equally well in the second half, with Laurie Hallam scoring the final goal. The win was a team effort; the forwards were fast and ready to score as the defense backed them up and kept the ball in Seven Hills' half of the field. The proved decisively which team was better in the revenge victory. On October 7, the girls pulled themselves together from the day before to play Lebanon on their own turf. They played quite well; Mary Howe in particular had a great game as she continuously pounded the ball into the net from the top of the circle. The IH defense simply would not let Lebanon come close to scoring. The final score was 3-0. Everyone was extremely anxious to win the Lebanon game because of a disastrous loss they experienced the day before at the hands of Seven Hills. The team lacked its usual spunk and speed, and an anxious Seven Hills team dominated the first half by scoring twice. The Squaws' ability improved in the second half; passes became precise and clean, and they finally scored.

But the clock beat the angry IH team, and they lost the game, 2-1. The bout against Seven Hills was not counted as a league game and left the Squaws' league record untarnished. The varsity hockey Squaws feel that if they continue to play with such vigor, no team can stop

the Tigers in touchdowns, but coach Gene Brindise elected to pass for the two point conversion three times even after QaYid Lindner's first extra point place kick was successful. All three passing attempts failed, resulting in the margin of loss. Had the Braves gone with the place kick, the game likely would have gone into overtime at 28-28. It's the kind of strategy Monday morning quarterbacks thrive on. John Fitzmaurice had his best night of the season, scoring two

Footballers take two more on he chin by Kurt Dusterberg If nothing else, the Indian Hill Braves football team has leamed how to take a tough loss. The Braves played the Madeira Mustangs and the Loveland Tigers back-to-back, losing, 28-15 and 28-25. Now consider that both teams were tied for first place and that the Braves could have won both games. Such was not the case last year. Loveland breezed by Indian Hill, 34-13, and Madeira's offense racked up 41 points before inserting the second string defense ina41-28 walk over theBraves. That is the difference this year. The losses are not always laughers. In fact, a couple breaks would have given the Braves a winning record. The Braves will have their hands full tonight when they host the league4eading Deer Park Wildcats. Last year, the Braves were blown out by the Wildcats, 54-14. The Braves 28-25 loss to Loveland lends itself to questioning. The Braves battled back to ecrual

touchdowns on runs of 34 and 68 yards. Both came in the second half and avoided long drives in the Braves' comeback effort. Jim Arnold and Jim Morgan teamed up to provide the rest of the scoring on passes of four and eight yards. Loveland running back Kip Funke and tight end Kyle Hockman each scored two touchdowns to provide the Tigers' scoring. One week earlier, the Madeira Mustangs ruined the Braves'

homecoming, 28-15, despite continued comeback efforts. Jon Capen had a banner night, gaining 200 yards on the ground on 19 carries, including a 64 y a d scoring run. Fitzmaurice scored the other touchdown on a nine yard run around the end. The Braves had another scoring attempt thwarted late in the game when they could not get past the four yard line after first and goal from the nine. Quarterback Dave Banks led the experienced Mustang offense with his passing to Jay Shelton. Banks also scored twice from the one yard line.

Golfing Squaws finish strong in Greenville Tourney by Beth Donvard The Indian Hill girls' varsity golf team ended its rebuilding season with a record of 5 4 . The team concluded its season with a disappointing loss to Centerville on Monday, October 18 at Camargo. The Centerville team edged by the Squaws 213-232. This score improved on the girls' 4 1 stroke deficit to the same team suffered earlier in the year. Vera McVicker was medalist with a 54. Jill Norton had her person-

al best, finishing second with a 57. The girls made a two hour trek to Greenville Country Club on October 13 to play in the 1 8 hole GreenviUe Tournament. The team played very well, scoring 451, but could not beat the top teams of Centerville and Middletown, with scores of 418 and 419, respectively. McVicker, who shot a 91, missed winning the tournament by only one stroke.

Monday, October 11, the Squaws played in their last trimatch of the season, The girls faced Princeton and St. Ursula at Camargo Country Club. The team, which had then won five straight matches, raised its record to 5-3. The girls shot a 245 t o defeat Princeton and St. Ursula, with scores of 262 and 289, respectively. McVicker was again medalist with a strong round of a 44 on the back nine.

Environmenf harmed b y acid rain

by Dwight Poffenberger It was inevitable. Society's indifference towards the environment has finally paid its price. Pristine sunsets still mirror clear mountain lakes in the Adirondacks, but trout no longer dimple the surface. Osprey, loon and kingfisher, unable to find food have either died or moved on. These lakes have become essentially environmental wastelands. The cause: an insidious, invisible form of pollution commonly known as acid rain. Acid rain is caused by the emissions of sulfer dioxide (S02) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from smokestacks and automobile tailpipes. These pollutants are carried by prevailing easterly winds sometimes thousands of miles combining with moisture in the clouds to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid respectfully. These acids fall to the earth in the form of rain or snow. Some become heavy aerosols and fall to the earth in a dry form. When it rains or dews these too become a liquid pollutant. Where does all this acid rain originate? Well, the power plants one sees driving west on 1-275 are one source. Ohio is the single largest source of sulfer pollution in the country emitting 11% of the national total. The midwest with its coal burning plants releases 80% of all sulfer emissions. Older plants cause the most harm. In 1970 the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) passed the Clean Air Act which increased the lengths of smokestacks and allowed midwestern plants to produce more wastes than eastern plants. At the time it was believed that the pollution would stay put. Since then stricter regulations have been imposed on new plants while the older plants still operate according to the regulations of the time in which they were built. One smelter in Sudbury, Ontario has a 1,250 foot smokestack which produces 2,500 tons of sulfer dioxide per day. How acidic does a lake become before i t loses its fish? On the pH scale of 1 to 14, one being most acidic, a healthy lake has a pH of 8, slightly alkaline. At a pH of 5.5 bacteria which normally decompose leaves at a lake's bottom die and plankton begins to disappear. Toxic metals such as aluminum, mercury, and lead

are released from surrounding soils and the lake's bottom. These metals collect in a fish's gills eventually strangling him. By the time the pH reaches 4.5 all fish, frogs and most insects are dead. Not all lakes reach this point at the same time however. Certain lakes and ponds are pillowed by an abundance of alkaline soil. The limestone regions of the Allighany Mountains enjoy this natural benefit. Other areas such as the Adirondacks are largely supported by granite which can't neutralize much acid. Acid rain is not only a northeastern problem. Rainfalls in Colorado sometimes have acidity 'levels 20 to 40 times that of "normal" rain. In a recent Florida study nine out of eleven lakes were acidified. Recently Los Angeles experienced an acid fog of pH 3 which is that of pure vinegar. I:ish are not the only victim of this nemesis. Acid rain strangles trees from the roots upwards. Details on gargoyles of Notre Dame in Paris are disappearing and statues have been brought inside to save them. Our drinking water may contain dangerously high levels of lead, copper, and aluminum. The fish and crops we eat may contain toxic substances. Not all the effects of acid rain are

yet known. One thing is known - we are only letting our industries hurt ourselves and our precious environment by letting this go on. Right now our very own congressman Thomas Luken is cosponsor of a bill which would only decrease the air pollution safeguards we have.

"Somewhat disappointing, but we ended on a very high note - saving our best day for last." Statistically, the golfers were led throughout the season by junior Louder, with a 39.1 stroke average. Bill was followed closely by Plate and John Bishop, both having 42.2 averages. Rounding out the varsity were McFarland, with a 42.3 average, and Jim Hall who played at a 44.3 clip. Sights are already being set for next year, and West has optomistic views on next season. "I think we wiU be exceptionally strong, with seven varsity golfers, predominantly upperclassmen.

Pictured above are seniors Angela Farley (standing), Lynn Barton and Marnie Abbott who fared exceptionally well in post season play.

Farley pulled an upset semifinal victory over Heather Hairston of Milford, 6 4 , 7-6, which advanced her to the state finals. During the summer Farley had played Hairston four times and had come up short each time. Farley's reason for her victory was that "Hairston was looking ahead (at the state finals) past me." In the second set tiebreaker Farley jumped out to a 4-1 lead; but Hairston came back within one, 4-3, before Farley got the deciding fifth point. In the finals, Farley lost t o Joni Urbon of Middletown, 6-4, 6-3. In their earlier sectional matches Farley had lost to Urban, 6-1,6-1. Overall, Farley was pleased with how she played. "I played a lot better at state than I normally do. I thought it was now or never."

Increased state funds may reduce millage

see FARLEY, ~ . 1 0

by Ron Zesch The tax levy which was passed in mid 1982 for 8.63 mills is now planned to be reduced to 7.38 mills according t o Mr. Harold Bush, treasurer of the Board of Education. The levy, which will be instituted during 1983, has been reduced due to an increase in state funds. In January of 1982 the state promised Indian HIll $830,000 in state funding. The problem, and subsequent levy, started when the board received a prediction that Indian Hill would receive $400,000 less than promised or $430,000, for 1983. The state claimed that this was because less taxes were collected than expected.

assessed value of a piece of property is thirty-five percent of its actual value. Therefore the assessment of the example house is $35,000, the amount of money which is actually taxed. For reference purposes the property tax o n a similar house this year would be $1782. To find the tax increase difference for the original levy and the decreased levy simple, multiply the amount of miUs by the assessed value of the property. Under an 8.63 mill increase, the tax for the $100,000 house would be supplemented by a tax of $302.05. The new 7.38 mill levy

In October after the 8.63 mill levy passed, the state, in somewhat of a contradiction, predicted a figure of $200,000 which Indian HiU would receive in 1983. The figure of 700,000 dollars exceeded the original figure used to base the levy on by $270,000, and thus the board plans to refund money to Indian Hill district residents in the form of a reduced levy. Mr. Bush said, "The board was making an effort to f u l f a its commitment to reduce the amount of the levy if more state money was received than expected." This was part of an agreement made at the outset of the levy procedure. In order to explain the a-

mount the levy IS t o be reduced, it is helpful t o understand that a mill is a measurement which indicates the number of thousand dollar units of the assessed value of the property in question. For example, the assessed value of the Indian Hill school district in 1982 is $215,500,000. Thus 1.25 mills, the planned reduction in taxes, multiplied b y the assessment of the Indian Hill district results in a reduction of $269,375, a figure very close t o the amount of extra money allotted by the state. An example to show the impact of the levy may make understanding the situation easier. Take for example a $100,000 house. State law says that the
