way of the woods

lHer survives run-in with game warden by Dwight Poffenberger Sunday, when most Indian Hillers were nestled comfortably in front of the television watching Miami advance to the Super Bowl, one unique individual was being chased by a game warden through a Brown County woods. This particular individual has expressed a concern to remain anonymous but has agreed to comment on his adventure. For the purpose of this article we shall name him Mr. X. I would like to make it clear that I am not Mr. X. Mr. X leads a perfectly normal life but suffers from one abnormality. He loves to deer hunt and was intent upon filling his freezer with venison this winter. Now the season has ended, so Mr. X will have to wait until next fall. Mr. X deer hunts more than anyone I know. Every Saturday he awakens at 5:00 a.m. and drives out to his brother's farm in Brown County. During the Ohio gun season Mr. X hunts with a gun, but from October 2 to January 29 he hunts with a bow. "I don't hunt with guns illegally ," claims Mr. X. Sunday Mr. X was hunting illegally. It is against the law to hunt in Ohio on Sundays, but he had to have one last deer hunt. He and a friend had split up and Mr. X heard a car coming down the road. "I didn't think anything of it . All of the sudden he was right there." Mr. X quickly jumped into a briar patch and yelled for his friend when the game warden's car stopped next to his. When the two found each other they ran a half mile in the other direction, jumping over creeks and downed logs. When they found a freshly downed tree they hid the bows under it and covered up their tracks. They then headed toward Mr. X's brother's house. Arriving at the house, the two young men were informed that the warden, appropriately called Snead, had stopped and asked of their whereabouts. Snead was going to get some police dogs and track down the boys. "That's when I started getting paranoid," tells Mr. X. Luckly for the boys, they decided to find Snead and fast. They intercepted him driving down the road.

The mystery man who ran into problems with the law last Sunday displays his artillery. When the warden got out of his car Mr. X said, "I heard you were looking for us." When the warden asked if they had been hunting, the boys told him they had only been walking around. Now this Snead is no fool, so he asked them where their bows were. Mr. X told the warden that his was at home back in Cincinnati. His friend said, "1 don't know." When the warden persisted with the question, Mr. X's friend could not come up with any right answers. Again the warden asked if the boys had been hunting.

Each of these positions will be fairly new experiences for Indian Hill, since last year was the first time students gained positions in these committees. Co-advisor John Nellis commented, "This year's team has taken on some firsts for this year's competition." The Internation Simulation, for example, is a mock convention in which international problems and conflicts are created. The participating delegates must then resolve these conflicts through diplomatic channels or risk world peace. In addition to the new com-

Mr. X tells me he was willing to confess, but wasn't sure if his friend was ready. After more questioning, the boys finally gave in and admitted their guilt. The warden was extremely lenient and let the boys off with a warning. He told them that he had to follow laws that he didn't agree with just like they did. He told them that h e better not catch them again or they would face either a large fine or possibly a prison term. Mr. X left me with one comment about his friend Snead, "all in all he was pretty cool about it."

Come E l f , best teachers will stay by John Christine Dr. Robert E. Boston met with high school teachers to discuss the district's teacher evaluation system on Monday, January 24. Referring to the tenure law, Boston stated, "Seniority should not be the only prerequisite to employment. We must do whatever we can to keep excellent teachers in this system. The vast majority of our staff is excellent," Boston stressed. However, he feels his evaluation system is necessary because, "'We want to be assured that we have the very best teachers." The evaluation system, Boston says, was designed for all IH schools to "measure the degree of teacher

excellence." According to Board of Education Treasurer Mr. Harold Bush, a teacher acquires tenure by earning a Professional Certificate from the state after three years of teaching plus eighteen semester hours of classes (in the courses that he or she teaches). This law is found in the Ohio Revised Code, which governs the operation of Ohio public schools. It has been in existance for over forty years. Both the teachers and administration helped form the evaluation system. Dr. Feltman and his assistants are responsible for the evaluating of individual staff members. Although teachers are observed every year, Feltman formally appraises them every

three years. Feltman looks for six basic qualities in a teacher evaluation. Teachers must have a knowledge of their subject matter. They must also demonstrate the ability to communicate, maintain control, and individualize with students. Finally, teachers must have a positive attitude and exhibit maturity. Bush explained differences between a continuous contract (tenure) and a limited contract. If a teacher is on a limited contract, which is a year-long contract, the administration may terminate his or her contract without stating a reason. However a tenured teacner must be given reasons for termi-

nation. These reasons are outlined in the Ohio Revised Code. The Code states "the contract of a teacher (with tenure) may not be terminated except for gross inefficiency or immorality; for willful persistent violations o f reasonable regulations of the board of education or for good and just cause." When making employment decisions, Feltman states that the evaluation is "extremely important." "Regardless to the number of years tenure (when choosing between two teachers) I want the one with the best teaching ability," he said. Mr. Bush states that only 18 out of the 134 teachers employed in the IH school system do not have tenure. He concluded that the evaluation system will play a significant role in the future.

In the General Assembly, the Syrian delegates will deal with a variety of topics, among them Palestine and Disarmament. Each

topic will be discussed by either the Economic and Financial Committee, the Special Political Committee, the Plenary and the Social Committee, or the Humanitarian and Cultural Committee. The Economic and Social Committee, although similar to the General Assembly, will deal with matters of economic and social problems exclusively. Among the topics discussed will be the World Food Council, the International Monetary Fund and the question of Human Rights. Apart from the GA and the Economic and Social Committee, some students will participate in other specialized committees at Georgetown. Among these are

GelIert explains 'Look-alike' drug law by Ken Jones Assistant Principal Mr. Gary Gellert made an announcement pertaining to the "Look-Alike" Drug Law Monday, January 24. This law was passed in August of 1982 by the General Assembly of Ohio to stop the trafficking of counterfeit substances. The law defines a counterfeit drug as any substance which resembles or is sold as a controlled

substance. This means, for example, if a student buys a substance assuming it is marijuana, he will be breaking the law despite the fact that the certain substance is not illegal. The seller also violates the law in the same way if he or she attempts to sell or deliver regular vitamin pills under a false pretext.

Everyone has to answe; to someone, be it God, society, employers, teachers or elders. But there are instances, however, when an individual can take advantage of a lack of scrutiny and attention from others. Students are often guilty of taking advantage of such situations, but there are other possibly more detrimental abuses of their freedom at IH: teachers. The focus of this editorial is not discipline or competence on the part of the teacher, but a more subtle problem: the issue of indoctrination. To paraphrase Noah Webster, indoctrination is the teaching of a student to accept a system of thought without question as opposed to an education which is the passing of knowledge untainted by personal opinions. Many teachers at IH, some more blatantly than others, impart their feelings on subjects, be they historical figures, interpretations of the arts, political events etc. Often these opinions are designed to and often do generate discussions and arguments that increase a student's capacity to reason and communicate. But, much of this free-floating personal doctrine is not qualified as such and students treat it as fact. We do not call on teachers to change their teaching styles or refrain from mixing opinion with fact. On the contrary. We believe that labeling personal feelings as such will encourage students to voice their own opinions thus furthering their education. Moreover, students need to be aware that some amount of indoctrination occurs at IH and should not accept opinions as fact.

as I see it

Americans have right apanese imports by John Bergman Lastweek the Prime Minister of Jar an paid a visit to our country. He conversed at great length with President Reagan on issues concerning international trade. Many of the issues discussed are far too complicated t o enumerate here, but one of the questions that has been debated for some time, and which undoubtedly found its way into last week's discourse, can at least be briefly examined. The question: should the importation of Japanese and other foreign goods into the United States be limited in order to promote the sale of American made products? The argument in favor of regulation is, for obvious reasons, most emphatically stated by American workers in the automobile industry. Their arguments are quite clear cut. In the first place, they argue, since Japan's reconstruction after World Wat 11, Japan has gradually risen in economic stature to its present awesome position. It now controls the automobile industry with complete and unquestionable authority . I t is not hard to understand why American workers object. They see Japan's rise to glory as a direct result of help that we gave to Japan, and it bothers them that we are now suffering from our own good deeds. America, these workers argue, should take care of her own people, before she worries about others. Furthermore, workers in the American automobile industry envy the Japanese economic structure. The Japanese government works in direct cooperation with its own country's businesses, by making policies in conformance with the good of the companies involved. Business leaders and government leaders are as one in their goals; each has the other t o thank f ~ its r own success. American workers see this attitude as being in direct juxtaposition t o what they per-

ceive as American apathy. "How can we hope to build a better car," they ask, "when we start with such disadvantages." The American workers make the arguments and then they make their conclusive plea: "If our government must continue in its present course with respect t o domestic industrial policies, then America must change its international trade policies. The frrst step t o American prosperity is the prosperity of the American worker. People must be encouraged to buy American goods." As usual, the argument which I chose to present first, as convincing as it may sound, is not my own. At least the conclusion is not mine. It is, of course, true that the American automobile industry is suffering from severe problems. It is also true that many of the problems are caused by the success of the Japanese automobile industry, and that success was largely American induced. I t does not, however, follow from the above revelations that the American consumer should be forced to buy American-made automobiles. As I see it, the question under consideration revolves around a principle which is extremely basic and which is inherent t o the American concept of free trade. That concept recognizes that every consumer has a right t o select and buy the best product on the market for his particular needs. Perhaps it is true that our government should be more cooperative with American industry, but the truth or falsity of this statement has nothing to do with the consumer's rights. Regardless of the reason, it seems t o be fairly well accepted at the present time that the Japanese make a filie automobile. Our government should not adopt a policy that will prevent the American consumer from purchasing such quality merchandise. If the American automobile industry would use its creative know-how t o rise above its competition, it would not have t o rely upon a restrictive import policy t o achieve superiority.

JV Squaws benefit from new found depth by Ellen Alvord and Shari Zesch The Indian Hill JV basketball Squaws, in trying to improve their record, have at least improved their playing ability. The JV coach, Miss Sharon Cooke, agrees. "The skill level of the whole team is improving, and I'm now able to play a greater variety of players." The team has improved its record to 4-10, 3-6 in the EHL, with two wins in the past four games. The team's scoring ability is much better but still needs a good deal of work. Evidence of this was shown in the Squaws' most recent game, when they lost, 51-26, to a talented Sycamore team but scored ten more points

than in their first game against Sycamore. Although the Squaws did not demonstrate their potential, the improvement in shooting allowed some encouragement. IH won one of the best of their recent games, 28-26, against Purcell-Marian three days earlier, on January 22. The Squaws showed that they could not only take command of the game but also pull out a win when the score got close. The team showed their first real signs of their desperately needed improvement in a convincing win against Deer Park, 26-23, four days earlier. The Squaws led at the end of each quarter, as they also did against Purcell-Marian. Freshman Ann Powell, the

high scorer in both of the recent wins, commented, "Lately, we've been shooting much more and much better than in the early part of the Cooke season." is also keeping a positive attitude. 'We've had to go against tough teams that are taller and older than us, but our shooting and our defense are improving, and we're getting more fast breaks now." The remaining five games in the season are not going t o be easy by any means, but day-today improvement in both playing ability and confidence should give the Squaws a chance to defeat some of the teams to which they lost earlier in the season.

If's now or never for JV Braves by Brian Rowe The JV Braves enter tonight's important showdown with Sycamore standing 4 4 in the league. While not mathematically out of striking range for the EHL, a win tonights plus a fivegame winning streak will almost be mandatory for the team to have a shot at the championship. Turning the clock back six weeks, you may remember the Bravesy 39-38 loss to Sycamore. The Braves have been working very diligently in preparing to

avenge this defeat, which has been a thorn in the Braves' sides all year. The Aves enter tonight's game standing 7-1 in the league, a record that puts even more, as coach Gary Gellert would put it, "fire in their eyes." The Braves edged Deer Park, 4 9 4 8 , on January 14, to even their league record. After building a large halftime lead, IH allowed Deer Park to narrow the gap but managed to hold on for the victory. Brian Rowe and Dave Stanforth paced IH with ten and

nine points, respectively. The Braves dropped two close decisions to Glen Este and Green Hills the week prior to the Deer Park game. IH made a good showing in their 41-38 loss to Glen Este in front of a large Indian Hill partisan crowd but couldn't get things together in the last few minutes of the contest, which has been the Braves' major problem most of this season. Pete Seremetis, the Braves' leading scorer this season, led in this game as well, with 11 points.

krosh lose chance tor tHL by Kevin Walzer Deer Park ruined the freshman basketball Braves' EHL hopes with a 34-33 win here last Mondav. The loss dropped IH to -fourth place in the league and out of contention for the championship. The game was not as close as the final score indicated. The Wildcats jumped out to a 10-2 lead in the first quarter with a harassing fullcourt press that the Braves were unable to crack. The Braves trailed by as much as 11 points at one point in the third quarter but staged a fourth quarter rally that tied the game at 32 with 2: 03 left. Erich Metzger put the Braves on top 33-32 with a free throw. but the Wildcats sank a layup to put a lid on the game. According to coach Steve Thompson, the loss dropped the Braves' potential EHL tournament seeding to third or fourth,

aepenaing on now tney rarea at Milford. "Right now we're at least number three," he said before the game. However, the loss cost IH any hope of being seeded higher than third in the tournament, which gets underway at Mariemont High School this Saturday. In non-league action, the Braves split two games. In the most recent of these, they were trampled by Purcell, 58-29, January 19. Andy Tucker and Metzger took scoring honors with nine and seven points, respectively. The Braves blew a 23-12 halftime lead but hung on to edge Finney town, 36-33, January 13. Finneytown went on a 1 0 4 blitz in the third to keep the game tight and actually went up by one, 28-27, in the third. Metzger led the team offense with 11 points.

The law was made in order to attempt to decrease the selling and use of drugs and to cut down on the counterfeiting of drugs under a company's trademark. Quite often, counterfeit drugs will appear with a company's trademark stamped on them. These drugs may often fool regular buyers of another drug into buying the counterfeit drug for less. This could be serious for patients buying the fraudulent drugs, thinking they are getting the medicine they need. To prevent this occurance, a person found possessing a punch plate used for marking pills with trademarks will be prosecuted just as a buyer or seller would. The penalties for the violation of this law range from a misdemeanor of the first degree (maximum penalty of six months imprisonment and a $1,000 fine) to a felony of the first degree (maximum penalty of 25 years imprisonment and a $10,000 fine). For students wishing to read this five page law, it is posted on the guidance and attendance office bulletin boards and will be printed in the student handbook.

Braves bring up rear by David Stradling The varsity wrestlers competed and made a poor showing at the Turpin Invitational Wrestling Tournament this past Saturday. Their 38 points were not enough to defeat any of the nine full teams. Walnut Hills wrestled only two wrestlers and accumulated no points and was the only school Indian Hi could defeat. Turpin won their own tourney with 161 points. Behind Turpin, Glen Este and Simon Kenton tied for second with 113% points each. The Braves' largest point gainer was junior Brom Espy (185), with two pins that took him to the finals. He lost the finals match to take second in the tourney. Junior Chip Greenlee (HWT) won twice also, and placed fourth in the tourney. Also qaining points for the Braves were

freshman Matt Feltman (98), who pinned his first opponent, and juniors David Stradling (1 12) and Mike Feltman (145), who each had one victory. Because of the presence of a Kentucky team, Simon Kenton, and the resulting use of Kentucky rules, there was no 175 pound weight class. Sophomore Dave Kindle (175) was not able to participate. The coaches, Jim Collins and Ron Webber, made their bad feelings about the performance of the Braves apparent to the wrestlers. Webber said bluntly, "We were embarrassed with the team's performance."

Griesdorn and Shelley Stanforth kept IH close with eight points each before the half. The half ended with the Lady Braves trailing, 34-17. The second half turned into a disaster for the Lady Braves. Griesdorn opened up the half with two points, but no member of the Squaws could score more than two points. The game ended up as one the Lady Braves would like to forget. The Squaws suffered another setback the previous Saturday, at the hands of Purcell-Marian, at Indian Hill. The Lady Braves tried out a newly instituted 1-3-1 press, but it proved ineffective. Purcell-Marian ran the same press themselves but more effectively. The Squaws did not show any improvement in this loss. The Lady Braves attained a milestone in a 5 7 4 4 loss to Deer Park on January 18. Deer Park had annihilated the Lady Braves, 61-27, in a previous outing. After the first quarter the Lady Braves trailed, 10-7. The Lady Braves' strong rebounding kept the game relatively close, as the half ended, 2244, in favor of Deer Park.

* * * * *

In the third quarter the Squaws fought back t o tie it up, and the quarter ended with IH trailing by three. The lead changed hands several times during the fourth quarter. In the last few minutes the Squaws went down by five and had to gamble by fouling. Deer Park consistently hit its foul shots, and the Lady Braves could not catch up. The game was thus closer than the final score indicates. The Lady Braves success was due largely to the effectiveness of the zone press, which IH ran the entire game. Junior Mary Granger and Griesdorn shared high scoring honors with sixteen points each. The Lady Braves suffered another loss, at Mt. Notre Dame, 54-25, on January 15. Granger led the team with 1 3 points, while Stanforth and Griesdorn contributed five each. The Squaws are looking forward to the next couple of weeks, when they will play the rest of the EHL teams for the second time. Since the league games were competitive the first time around, the Lady Braves hope for some wins. The use of IH's press and speed have given the team encouragement. Also, with Granger and others improving on offense, the offensive game has a bright future.

by Bi Skidmore The last issue of Chieftain printed an editorial defending President Reagan's economic policies - urging Americans to "stay the course." Although the current failures and successes are not all the President's responsibility, good or bad, Americans lay the blame or congratulations on their President. In this article, I wish to point out some of the forgotten facts in that editorial. Unfortunately, one must consider some recent history to understand the current economic debacle. During the 1950's and 1970's America prospered economically. The inflation and unemployment rates were, by today's standards, painlessly low. Incredibly, the budget was balanced twice in Eisenhower's term. Then, the seventies and "stagflation" hit and hit hard. Stagflation was an unfathomable phenomenon which included high

inflation and high unemployment. The catalyst to this was OPEC. From 1973 to 1980, OPEC raised the price of oil a staggering 1750%. First Ford (with relatively high unemployment and low inflation), then Carter (with relatively low unemployment and high inflation) tried to solve the stagflation problem. Neither found the solution. In 1980, Ronald Reagan promised to lower inflation, cut taxes, increase production, ljalance the budget, and increase the defense spending. It was going to be the Kemp-Roth supply side miracle. Let's face it, Mr. President, supply side economics is dead. Importantly though, inflation dropped to its lowest rate in nine years. This is Reagan's principle economic achievement. Also, he did increase defense spending and cut income taxes. Yet that cut in taxes did not produce the growth in the economy

which was predicted. In fact, the gross national product fell, and is continuing to fall, further establishing the economic recession in its wake. Finally, there is the issue of the budget. In 1980, Reagan criticized President Carter for his gigantic deficits. Since then, the deficit has ballooned from an enormous $60 billion deficit in the final year of Carter's term to well over $200 billion. The future does not appear any brighter. The Congressional Budget Office predicted that in 1987 there would be a whopping $322 billion deficit! These high deficits will cause interest rates to rise because the government competes with the private sector for available money. Consequently, high interest rates will acerbate the already painful recession. Even the conservative businessman is crying for a c u t in taxes. On January 19, 1983, three

Unpredictable space launches pose by Win Wells what dangerous on earth should At 5:21 p.m. EST last Sunday, an example of man's technological advancement died a fiery death over an isolated spot in the Indian Ocean. The death of this satelite showed the harsh reality of the questions concerning the hazards of these objects. The shocking truth is that two other satelites have fallen back to earth, causing peril to us before Cosmos 1402. In 1978 the USSR, also responsable for this week's incident, launched an illfated satelite that eventually crashed over Northern Canada, spewing radioactive debris over a 500 mile path. Yet Russia is not the only advanced country at fault. Before Cosmos 958 fell over Canada, Skylab, a product of our country, plunged the Indian intoOcean the atmosphere where, to over the shock of the United States, the surviving debris found a desert in Australia to settle. Thus, one now might say the precedent has been set for these incidents. That precedent is a dangerous idea which should be stopped if man is t o use space to its fullest and safest potential. The idea of using an energy source still considered to be some-

leading business groups called on President Reagan to reduce government spending by $50 billion. Even more frightening than that, officials of six previous administrations, including five former treasury secretaries, said that unless deficits are reduced, there will be "economic stagnation with no end in sight." The insensitivity displayed by the editorial also concerned me. Just because no one is "starving," times remain very difficult. Unemployment benefits are running out, cars are being reposessed, and people are being evicted. These are painful times. John Steinbeck's Grapes o f Wrath echoes into the eighties as people move to the promised land of the Sun Belt and live in "Hoovervilles" - I mean "Reaganvilles." America, do not stay the course. Prosperity is not just around the corner. I truly hope that Reagan or someone else can come up with an answer to the current economic dil'emma before history repeats itself. questions concerning the sale of are sometimes unsuccessful knowledge of technology to lesser developed countries and liability of these handicapped satelites. Although the UN has conducted several sessions on this question, it is obvious in the eyes of many that these attempts have been just that - attempts.

Twelve lHers to travel to la belle France

by Janet Nicolas Twelve IH French students and French teacher Mr. Robert Blaney will travel to Angers, France, February 10 as part of the school exchange program. . The students will arrive in Paris before travelling to Angers, located 150 kilometers southwest of Paris. The group will return home March 3. Upon arriving in Angers, the exchangers will stay with French families and attend school while they learn more about France's language and culture. For the past six years, exchanges were held with AixenProvence under the direction of Mrs. JoAnn Wund. When this arrangement was canceled last year, students established a new link with Angers. The French students hosting them, however, did not complete the exchange by visiting the U.S.

This year, Indian Hill families wiU host students from Angers for the

first time when they arrive on March 26.

o o t~o r revenge tonrgnr

by Jon Kitei The Indian Hill Varsity Braves7 record skidded to 2-12 as they dropped their ninth consecutive game, this time at the hands of low-rated Deer Park, 67-66, January 21. The Braves had hopes of winning their second league game, the first having been an 1 1-point home victory over the Wildcats. The biggest surprise to the Braves was the hot shooting of Deer Park. The Wildcats, led by junior guard Ed Woolwine's 20 points, shot 51.1% from the field compared to 40% shooting by the Braves. Woolwine had failed to score in the first Brave-Wildcat confrontation. Led by senior Jim Arnold, the Braves ran an even race with Deer Park in the first half, which ended at 34all. Arnold also combined with senior Jay Kohls to provide a couple of key first-half steals that resulted in Indian Hill scores. Deer Park came out in the second half ready to play and scored some key baskets before the Braves woke up. Indian Hill then found its inside game in the persons of seniors Jim Morgan, who scored 12 points and grabbed nine boards, and Dave Davis. Davis had his best game of the season as he scored a varsity career high of 22 points. In addition to this, zone-buster Arnold tallied a game-high 26 points, mostly on long range jumpers. Arnold was awarded a double star for his performance, and Morgan and Davis each received single stars. However, Indian Hill got only six points from the other two starters, and zero points from the bench. Indian Hill was without sophomore Rick Abrams, who was ill, and his consistent six or seven points were sadly missed. The Braves were, as has often been the case, forced to foul in the late stages of the game, and Deer Park hit some clutch free throws to pull out the one-point victory. Following the game, both Arnold and Coach Dale McKibben had some comments. "I'm naturally very disappointed," said McKibben. "I expected to have nine or ten wins at this point in the season." McKibben added that he was pleased with the attitude of the players during the drought. Amold, while not

looking for a scapegoat, did note that 'We need more spirit and pride from the student body," and that "You don't take pride in the win and loss column, you take pride in the Hill." Today's pep rally and tonight's televised matchup with arch-rival Sycamore should be a starting point for both the Braves and their fans. The Braves lost, 61-41, to Greenhills six days earlier, facing a ball club that started a front line with a 6 foot 5 inch forward and a 6 foot 8 inch center, each of whom blocked numerous Indian Hill shots. The Braves surprised the larger Pioneers as they played them close for three quarters before losing by the deceiving 20-point difference. The Braves again shot terribly: 31.4% from the field and an unbelievably low 45% from the free

Another star was awarded to Morgan, who had eleven points and six boards. The Braves faced another much taller ball club, the Glen Este Trojans, in a 66-53 loss the night before. Indian Hill played nip and tuck with the Trojans by beating them on quickness and were within three points of the lead as late as the third quarter. The Braves went into the fourth quarter down by six but couldn't pull it out, as Glen Este cruised to a 13-point victory. This loss left Indian Hill at 1-6 in the league after the first round of league games. Arnold was again a key factor in keeping the Braves in the game with a 22-point perfor-

Indian Hill took a disappointing loss on the chin against previously winless Turpin High School two days earlier. Turpin was without its leading scorer, who had averaged 21.5 points a game, but the team did not seem to notice the loss. Although Turpin shot only 39.6% from the field, the Braves shot a horrid 26.3%. In one of the few games this far, Indian Hill was equal to its opponent on the boards, as both teams grabbed 35 rebounds. In what has become a redundant story, the Braves played evenly with the Trojans until falling behind late in the

The teams were tied, 12-12, at the end of one period, but the Who DO'S took a 24-22 lead. The Who Do's first half offense was led by 6 foot 8 inch Darrell Clark with six points.

Eighth grade basketball coach Gary Argentati began a ten point Braves scoring stint early in the fourth quarter with a three-point play.

as an actor, but As a serious artistic endeavor, acting doesn't appeal to me," John commented. "It's more of a pastime. I can't see how people can devote serious effort to something as ridiculously easy as acting. As long as you keep your voice interesting, you can act any part." John's postcollege plans are as of yet undetermined. "Definitely something liberal arts," states John. "I've thought of different jobs I could take, everything from working in a law firm to a spot welder at GM, but none seem t o appeal to me. Maybe a writer or something English related like editing. I like knowing that the little marks I make will determine the destiny of someone's writing." As with acting, John is well qualified to make those "little marks." He earned a writing award from the National Council of Teachers of English, is a National Merit Semi-finalist and President of National Honor Society. John's plans for the immediate future are a little more concrete. "Academics will include special schedule 13 1, the Skyline lunch," John maintains. "Extracurriculars will include attending a few

parties, which is something I've never done before. Actually, I'm enrolled in the AP party program for which there is a week-long practical at the end of the year." No analysis would be complete without a thorough probing of the subject's musical tastes. John's are varied. "I like a lot of music; but I'm not into heavy art. There's this jazz cult that thinks anything is cool as long as it's unstructured. I like old jazz, however." John's favorite artist is Declan McManus or Elvis Costello as he is often called. "He's just an awfully good songwriter." John is probably known better musically for his entanglement in the highly progressive group AgenT OraNgE. John was the lyric force behind the phenomenon and provided all vocals. He was responsible for the lyrics of such hits as "She's a Her" and "Devil Worship." 'We were a supergroup; we played Musicfest. Then came the breakup. Rod (Barr) went t o Princeton and I had t o stay. Simple as that." As with most interviews of this type, the subject of kinky sex soon came up. "It's funny as hell. It's an amazing opportunity for humor because people are so un-

comfortable with it." John was quick t o add that homosexuality is not among his list of hobbies as he fondled the "nutcracker flail." John is not known for his athletic prowess, but he does enjoy an occasional game of squash or tennis. He also enjoys. the outdoors and has taken numerous camping and hiking trips. A complete analysis of a . human being should contain information concerning the origin of the subject. John was born on Chicago's south side and spent most of his childhood in the suburbs. One summer, while away at summer camp, John was informed by his parents that the family was moving t o Cincinnati. "I thought it was in Minnesota, until I heard about the Beverly Hills fire in Kentucky and I wondered what all those Minnesotans were doing in Kentucky. I was pretty depressed. The city isn't exciting, but the people are definately more friendly." This ends our analysis. Those wishing to know more behind the student prodigy they call John Lilly will have t o wait for the memoirs. But as John points out, "I'm still waiting for a publisher."

dents at Ottawa Mr. Blaney admitted, "It's a challenge - I didn't know if I would like it. But they have a lot of energy and I really enjoy it. Five years ago I would not have said that, though." In comparison to the younger students, in the high school, he enjoys "working with students who are further along and can assimilate larger blocks of information." He enjoys especially the AP courses; they "particularly are a challenge to teach." At the high school, Blaney admits to being "very impressed with the students' willingness t o work. I taught during the 60's and 70's and I think now there is a more serious attitude among students." With respect to Blaney's personal life, he and his family presently reside in Milford. He has three children: Tim, a junior in high school; Laura, a sophomore; and Rebecca, a 7th grader, all of whom attend Milford schools. When Blaney isn't spending time with his family at home or on vacation, he enjoys working in his garden. "Gardening is my first passion," he explains.

One daring adventure looming in the near future for Blaney is accompanying the French exchange in February. Some might groan at the task, but who could resist traveling to France with 13 lively and excited high school students who will be creating a phenomenally continuous ruckus? In his advice to students, Blaney states, ''You should make the best of opportunities." He cites a French proverb, "Si jeunesse savait , si vieillesse

pouvait," which translates, "If youth knew, if the aged could." Clearly, Indian Hill is fortunate t o have Blaney as a part of the school. Looking at his fufure, Blaney states, "Right now I like teaching a t Indian Hill, although as a personal goal, someday I'd like t o finish my doctorate." For the time being, he can certainly concentrate on trekking t o France with his 13 fearless followers. But n o pressure cookers this time Mr. lane^, okay?

Ultimately, Stacey would "like to be asked t o d o something big, ba really major role that I could portray as I want." Long pause. "If I come back t o a class reunion and I'm not famous, pretend I am. At least humor me." Stacey spends her summer "selling incredible junk" at Kings Island.

Eating Raoul was produced on an extremely low budget by Paul Bartel (who also directed and cowrote the flick) and contains a certain degree of unevenness because of it. But if you're in the market for a wierd movie playing at a normal hour, it is well worth the price of admission. I

Blaney was born and raised in Cincinnati, attending Withrow High School in his teenage years. After high school, he went to Yale, where he aspired to become a chemistry major. This focus of study soon changed course because, as Blaney explains, "after my second year of college level calculus, I decided my strengths were more in the language area." One year after graduating from Yale, he pained both a Master of Arts degree and a wife, who is also originally from Cincinnati. Blaney's first teaching job was in Westport, Connecticut, where he taught high school French for one year, while his wife taught Latin in a different school nearby. Blaney soon returned to Cincinnati and began teaching at Aiken High School. During this three-year period in Cincinnati, his first two children were born. In 1968 the Blaney family moved to Colorado where Mr. Blaney spent seven years teaching French at the University of Colorado at Boulder. In 1976, Blaney had the opportunity to accompany a group of students

No lookalikes on 'Incognito' by Chris Blanchard Spyro Gyrs, one of the leading fusion bands in existance, has recently issued a new album entitled Itrcogniro. Incogtrito is a pseudo journey into the land of sophisticated funk. I am using the word funk with great care as this word conjures up images of Rick James' "Pass tlte Joint" and other such classics. This album is. however, in its own way. funky. The use of "thunder thumbs" bass lines and a horn section produce this effect of funkiness. Marcus Miller, bassist for Spyro Gyra, has made his presence felt at last. Songwriter/sasophonist Jay Beckenstein is at his fluid best. On to the tunes. "Last Exit," song number one on side one, has received the

five-man horn section treatment, producing an effect similar to that of the horns on the latest Genesis releases. Nice. "Old San Juan." a Spanishsounding tune is next. This song reminds me of Chuck Mangione's "Children of Sanchez," except Spyro's tune actually poes somewhere. "Old San Juan" has in it a very dirty sounding electric guitar quife similar to Carlos Santsna's. Those two lead up to "Harbour Night," the most "traditional Spyro Gyra" sounding cut on the album.

"Sample and Hold" follows with synthesized vocals, but its lyrics are a bit more original and varied than those found on side one. The third cut on side two seems to symbolize Neil's digression. This tune is a remake of the classic Buffalo Springfield Number "Mr. Soul". The lyrics are superb. Then again, they were

written over twelve years ago. The music, however, is clearly a cosmic disruption. "Like an Inca" closes side two. This number is similar in lyrical theme to Neil's classic "Cortez the Killer," but once again the music is boring. If any encouragement emerges from Trans, it is in recording techniques. Neil has finally discovered the advantages of stereo recording and professional mixes. I, however, would gladly trade studio perfection for musical innovation.

Although she says, "I don't have time for hobbies," Stacey has pursued other activities. She was a gymnast for seven years and a swimmer and diver for four years. Her hopes in the field of ballet were cut short after a year because "my ballet teacher said I was the most uncoordinated person she had ever seen." Perhaps that is good.

Stacey has made her mark at Indian Hill in several endeavors, most prominently in drama. Last year Stacey was named to the all-state cast by the Ohio Theatre Alliance for her part in "Tell Me A Story, Sing Me A Songy' at a play festival in Columbus. In April, Stacey will head back to Columbus in hopes of adding to her awards for her role as Edith in 'Waiting For The Bus." This is all just the beginning of the "progressive flow chart" that Stacey hopes will end when she becomes an off-Broadway actress someday. Still, she keeps the present and near future in mind.

By this time, any reader in his right mind is undoubtedly wondering, 'What is such filthy trash doing in a fine, upstanding bastion of mid-American high school journalism?" Well, the fact is that Raoul is pretty funny. What sex there is is fairly explicit but generally amusing, as well. (The highlight

of the film may be the masselectrocution and subsequent robberyofanentirehot-tub orgy.) And the violence is strictly of the comic-book variety.

"Sample and Hold" follows with synthesized vocals, but its lyrics are a bit more original and varied than those found on side one. The third cut on side two seems to symbolize Neil's digression. This tune is a remake of the classic Buffalo Springfield Number "Mr. Soul". The lyrics are superb. Then again, they were

written over twelve years ago. The music, however, is clearly a cosmic disruption. "Like an Inca" closes side two. This number is similar in lyrical theme to Neil's classic "Cortez the Killer," but once again the music is boring. If any encouragement emerges from Trans, it is in recording techniques. Neil has finally discovered the advantages of stereo recording and professional mixes. I, however, would gladly trade studio perfection for musical innovation.

as an actor, but As a serious artistic endeavor, acting doesn't appeal to me," John commented. "It's more of a pastime. I can't see how people can devote serious effort to something as ridiculously easy as acting. As long as you keep your voice interesting, you can act any part." John's postcollege plans are as of yet undetermined. "Definitely something liberal arts," states John. "I've thought of different jobs I could take, everything from working in a law firm to a spot welder at GM, but none seem t o appeal to me. Maybe a writer or something English related like editing. I like knowing that the little marks I make will determine the destiny of someone's writing." As with acting, John is well qualified to make those "little marks." He earned a writing award from the National Council of Teachers of English, is a National Merit Semi-finalist and President of National Honor Society. John's plans for the immediate future are a little more concrete. "Academics will include special schedule 13 1, the Skyline lunch," John maintains. "Extracurriculars will include attending a few

parties, which is something I've never done before. Actually, I'm enrolled in the AP party program for which there is a week-long practical at the end of the year." No analysis would be complete without a thorough probing of the subject's musical tastes. John's are varied. "I like a lot of music; but I'm not into heavy art. There's this jazz cult that thinks anything is cool as long as it's unstructured. I like old jazz, however." John's favorite artist is Declan McManus or Elvis Costello as he is often called. "He's just an awfully good songwriter." John is probably known better musically for his entanglement in the highly progressive group AgenT OraNgE. John was the lyric force behind the phenomenon and provided all vocals. He was responsible for the lyrics of such hits as "She's a Her" and "Devil Worship." 'We were a supergroup; we played Musicfest. Then came the breakup. Rod (Barr) went t o Princeton and I had t o stay. Simple as that." As with most interviews of this type, the subject of kinky sex soon came up. "It's funny as hell. It's an amazing opportunity for humor because people are so un-

comfortable with it." John was quick t o add that homosexuality is not among his list of hobbies as he fondled the "nutcracker flail." John is not known for his athletic prowess, but he does enjoy an occasional game of squash or tennis. He also enjoys. the outdoors and has taken numerous camping and hiking trips. A complete analysis of a . human being should contain information concerning the origin of the subject. John was born on Chicago's south side and spent most of his childhood in the suburbs. One summer, while away at summer camp, John was informed by his parents that the family was moving t o Cincinnati. "I thought it was in Minnesota, until I heard about the Beverly Hills fire in Kentucky and I wondered what all those Minnesotans were doing in Kentucky. I was pretty depressed. The city isn't exciting, but the people are definately more friendly." This ends our analysis. Those wishing to know more behind the student prodigy they call John Lilly will have t o wait for the memoirs. But as John points out, "I'm still waiting for a publisher."

dents at Ottawa Mr. Blaney admitted, "It's a challenge - I didn't know if I would like it. But they have a lot of energy and I really enjoy it. Five years ago I would not have said that, though." In comparison to the younger students, in the high school, he enjoys "working with students who are further along and can assimilate larger blocks of information." He enjoys especially the AP courses; they "particularly are a challenge to teach." At the high school, Blaney admits to being "very impressed with the students' willingness t o work. I taught during the 60's and 70's and I think now there is a more serious attitude among students." With respect to Blaney's personal life, he and his family presently reside in Milford. He has three children: Tim, a junior in high school; Laura, a sophomore; and Rebecca, a 7th grader, all of whom attend Milford schools. When Blaney isn't spending time with his family at home or on vacation, he enjoys working in his garden. "Gardening is my first passion," he explains.

One daring adventure looming in the near future for Blaney is accompanying the French exchange in February. Some might groan at the task, but who could resist traveling to France with 13 lively and excited high school students who will be creating a phenomenally continuous ruckus? In his advice to students, Blaney states, ''You should make the best of opportunities." He cites a French proverb, "Si jeunesse savait , si vieillesse

pouvait," which translates, "If youth knew, if the aged could." Clearly, Indian Hill is fortunate t o have Blaney as a part of the school. Looking at his fufure, Blaney states, "Right now I like teaching a t Indian Hill, although as a personal goal, someday I'd like t o finish my doctorate." For the time being, he can certainly concentrate on trekking t o France with his 13 fearless followers. But n o pressure cookers this time Mr. lane^, okay?

Ultimately, Stacey would "like to be asked t o d o something big, ba really major role that I could portray as I want." Long pause. "If I come back t o a class reunion and I'm not famous, pretend I am. At least humor me." Stacey spends her summer "selling incredible junk" at Kings Island. 'Working there is not as bad as everyone says," she emphasized. But she is still trying t o find out who would buy a "Bless this camper" plaque. Stacey is very flexible with her musical taste, as long as it's not punk. Journey, Toto, Steve Winwood and Billy Joel are a t the top of the list. There is more t o the Stacey Labahn story.

Doris the Dominatrix (I unfortunately did not catch her name) saves the day, however; her masquerades as blind nun, border patrol officer and health worker are not to be believed. Eating Raoul was produced on an extremely low budget by Paul Bartel (who also directed and cowrote the flick) and contains a certain degree of unevenness because of it.

Blaney was born and raised in Cincinnati, attending Withrow High School in his teenage years. After high school, he went to Yale, where he aspired to become a chemistry major. This focus of study soon changed course because, as Blaney explains, "after my second year of college level calculus, I decided my strengths were more in the language area." One year after graduating from Yale, he pained both a Master of Arts degree and a wife, who is also originally from Cincinnati. Blaney's first teaching job was in Westport, Connecticut, where he taught high school French for one year, while his wife taught Latin in a different school nearby. Blaney soon returned to Cincinnati and began teaching at Aiken High School. During this three-year period in Cincinnati, his first two children were born. In 1968 the Blaney family moved to Colorado where Mr. Blaney spent seven years teaching French at the University of Colorado at Boulder. In 1976, Blaney had the opportunity to accompany a group of students

Telling the con~plicationsinvolved in transporting a 20 quart pressure cooker to 1:rancc brings him constant jokes from his classes at school. Although taking a family to live in a foreign country makes such difficulties arise, Blaney stresses the learning experience involved. "I think the chance to live full-time in another culture is a chance of a lifetime, and that's why we took our family." For Blaney's family, the two years spent in Bordeaux were years of enjoyment. "The kids loved it," he elaborated, "especially being near the ocean." Children seem to learn another language more easily than adults, he added. His family arrived in August, and by Christmas his children were really fluent in French. Much of this Frcnch education came through the

disc review

No lookalikes on 'Incognito' by Chris Blanchard Spyro Gyrs, one of the leading fusion bands in existance, has recently issued a new album entitled Itrcogniro. Incogtrito is a pseudo journey into the land of sophisticated funk. I am using the word funk with great care as this word conjures up images of Rick James' "Pass tlte Joint" and other such classics. This album is. however, in its own way. funky. The use of "thunder thumbs" bass lines and a horn section produce this effect of funkiness. Marcus Miller, bassist for Spyro Gyra, has made his presence felt at last. Songwriter/sasophonist Jay Beckenstein is at his fluid best. On to the tunes. "Last Exit," song number one on side one, has received the

five-man horn section treatment, producing an effect similar to that of the horns on the latest Genesis releases. Nice. "Old San Juan." a Spanishsounding tune is next. This song reminds me of Chuck Mangione's "Children of Sanchez," except Spyro's tune actually poes somewhere. "Old San Juan" has in it a very dirty sounding electric guitar quife similar to Carlos Santsna's. Those two lead up to "Harbour Night," the most "traditional Spyro Gyra" sounding cut on the album. A nice song, but ' no aspect is spectacular. Song number 4, side I , "Stripes," no. not the theme from Bill Murray's movie (doo-wahdiddy), but something else. Here is my pick for "best

"We had a very stransc conversation. but enough of tlie story got out so I undcrstood the situation - \vc laughed about i t afterwards." Strange tcleplionc calls aside. Blancy professes to have learned much from the cspcricnccs with his group of cidlcge students. "The fun and challenging part for me was sharing tlie culture shock with the students while in 1:rance. Since I wasn't a tcachcr. I served as a kind of shoulder to cry on. I really enjoyed meeting about 60 college studcnts." He added that the group also organized several overnight field trips to explore other sights in 1:rance.

Since.his family and his wife's family lived in Cincinnati, he decided to resong" on the album - "Oasis." This son2 has been getting considerable airplay on WVXU. "Oasis" is also my pick for "song on the album which will endure." Just as "Morning Dance" and "Heliopolis" are the notorious cuts from I\lorr~irtg Dance, "Oasis" will be the song from Ir~cogtlito.

o o t~o r revenge tonrgnr

by Jon Kitei The Indian Hill Varsity Braves7 record skidded to 2-12 as they dropped their ninth consecutive game, this time at the hands of low-rated Deer Park, 67-66, January 21. The Braves had hopes of winning their second league game, the first having been an 1 1-point home victory over the Wildcats. The biggest surprise to the Braves was the hot shooting of Deer Park. The Wildcats, led by junior guard Ed Woolwine's 20 points, shot 51.1% from the field compared to 40% shooting by the Braves. Woolwine had failed to score in the first Brave-Wildcat confrontation. Led by senior Jim Arnold, the Braves ran an even race with Deer Park in the first half, which ended at 34all. Arnold also combined with senior Jay Kohls to provide a couple of key first-half steals that resulted in Indian Hill scores. Deer Park came out in the second half ready to play and scored some key baskets before the Braves woke up. Indian Hill then found its inside game in the persons of seniors Jim Morgan, who scored 12 points and grabbed nine boards, and Dave Davis. Davis had his best game of the season as he scored a varsity career high of 22 points. In addition to this, zone-buster Arnold tallied a game-high 26 points, mostly on long range jumpers. Arnold was awarded a double star for his performance, and Morgan and Davis each received single stars. However, Indian Hill got only six points from the other two starters, and zero points from the bench. Indian Hill was without sophomore Rick Abrams, who was ill, and his consistent six or seven points were sadly missed. The Braves were, as has often been the case, forced to foul in the late stages of the game, and Deer Park hit some clutch free throws to pull out the one-point victory. Following the game, both Arnold and Coach Dale McKibben had some comments. "I'm naturally very disappointed," said McKibben. "I expected to have nine or ten wins at this point in the season." McKibben added that he was pleased with the attitude of the players during the drought. Amold, while not

looking for a scapegoat, did note that 'We need more spirit and pride from the student body," and that "You don't take pride in the win and loss column, you take pride in the Hill." Today's pep rally and tonight's televised matchup with arch-rival Sycamore should be a starting point for both the Braves and their fans. The Braves lost, 61-41, to Greenhills six days earlier, facing a ball club that started a front line with a 6 foot 5 inch forward and a 6 foot 8 inch center, each of whom blocked numerous Indian Hill shots. The Braves surprised the larger Pioneers as they played them close for three quarters before losing by the deceiving 20-point difference. The Braves again shot terribly: 31.4% from the field and an unbelievably low 45% from the free

Another star was awarded to Morgan, who had eleven points and six boards. The Braves faced another much taller ball club, the Glen Este Trojans, in a 66-53 loss the night before. Indian Hill played nip and tuck with the Trojans by beating them on quickness and were within three points of the lead as late as the third quarter. The Braves went into the fourth quarter down by six but couldn't pull it out, as Glen Este cruised to a 13-point victory. This loss left Indian Hill at 1-6 in the league after the first round of league games. Arnold was again a key factor in keeping the Braves in the game with a 22-point perfor-

Indian Hill took a disappointing loss on the chin against previously winless Turpin High School two days earlier. Turpin was without its leading scorer, who had averaged 21.5 points a game, but the team did not seem to notice the loss. Although Turpin shot only 39.6% from the field, the Braves shot a horrid 26.3%. In one of the few games this far, Indian Hill was equal to its opponent on the boards, as both teams grabbed 35 rebounds. In what has become a redundant story, the Braves played evenly with the Trojans until falling behind late in the

Eighth grade basketball coach Gary Argentati began a ten point Braves scoring stint early in the fourth quarter with a three-point play.

Braves bring up rear by David Stradling The varsity wrestlers competed and made a poor showing at the Turpin Invitational Wrestling Tournament this past Saturday. Their 38 points were not enough to defeat any of the nine full teams. Walnut Hills wrestled only two wrestlers and accumulated no points and was the only school Indian Hi could defeat. Turpin won their own tourney with 161 points. Behind Turpin, Glen Este and Simon Kenton tied for second with 113% points each. The Braves' largest point gainer was junior Brom Espy (185), with two pins that took him to the finals. He lost the finals match to take second in the tourney. Junior Chip Greenlee (HWT) won twice also, and placed fourth in the tourney. Also qaining points for the Braves were

freshman Matt Feltman (98), who pinned his first opponent, and juniors David Stradling (1 12) and Mike Feltman (145), who each had one victory. Because of the presence of a Kentucky team, Simon Kenton, and the resulting use of Kentucky rules, there was no 175 pound weight class. Sophomore Dave Kindle (175) was not able to participate. The coaches, Jim Collins and Ron Webber, made their bad feelings about the performance of the Braves apparent to the wrestlers. Webber said bluntly, "We were embarrassed with the team's performance."

Griesdorn and Shelley Stanforth kept IH close with eight points each before the half. The half ended with the Lady Braves trailing, 34-17. The second half turned into a disaster for the Lady Braves. Griesdorn opened up the half with two points, but no member of the Squaws could score more than two points. The game ended up as one the Lady Braves would like to forget. The Squaws suffered another setback the previous Saturday, at the hands of Purcell-Marian, at Indian Hill. The Lady Braves tried out a newly instituted 1-3-1 press, but it proved ineffective. Purcell-Marian ran the same press themselves but more effectively. The Squaws did not show any improvement in this loss. The Lady Braves attained a milestone in a 5 7 4 4 loss to Deer Park on January 18. Deer Park had annihilated the Lady Braves, 61-27, in a previous outing. After the first quarter the Lady Braves trailed, 10-7. The Lady Braves' strong rebounding kept the game relatively close, as the half ended, 2244, in favor of Deer Park.

* * * * *

In the third quarter the Squaws fought back t o tie it up, and the quarter ended with IH trailing by three. The lead changed hands several times during the fourth quarter. In the last few minutes the Squaws went down by five and had to gamble by fouling. Deer Park consistently hit its foul shots, and the Lady Braves could not catch up. The game was thus closer than the final score indicates. The Lady Braves success was due largely to the effectiveness of the zone press, which IH ran the entire game. Junior Mary Granger and Griesdorn shared high scoring honors with sixteen points each. The Lady Braves suffered another loss, at Mt. Notre Dame, 54-25, on January 15. Granger led the team with 1 3 points, while Stanforth and Griesdorn contributed five each. The Squaws are looking forward to the next couple of weeks, when they will play the rest of the EHL teams for the second time. Since the league games were competitive the first time around, the Lady Braves hope for some wins. The use of IH's press and speed have given the team encouragement. Also, with Granger and others improving on offense, the offensive game has a bright future.

by Bi Skidmore The last issue of Chieftain printed an editorial defending President Reagan's economic policies - urging Americans to "stay the course." Although the current failures and successes are not all the President's responsibility, good or bad, Americans lay the blame or congratulations on their President. In this article, I wish to point out some of the forgotten facts in that editorial. Unfortunately, one must consider some recent history to understand the current economic debacle. During the 1950's and 1970's America prospered economically. The inflation and unemployment rates were, by today's standards, painlessly low. Incredibly, the budget was balanced twice in Eisenhower's term. Then, the seventies and "stagflation" hit and hit hard. Stagflation was an unfathomable phenomenon which included high

inflation and high unemployment. The catalyst to this was OPEC. From 1973 to 1980, OPEC raised the price of oil a staggering 1750%. First Ford (with relatively high unemployment and low inflation), then Carter (with relatively low unemployment and high inflation) tried to solve the stagflation problem. Neither found the solution. In 1980, Ronald Reagan promised to lower inflation, cut taxes, increase production, ljalance the budget, and increase the defense spending. It was going to be the Kemp-Roth supply side miracle. Let's face it, Mr. President, supply side economics is dead. Importantly though, inflation dropped to its lowest rate in nine years. This is Reagan's principle economic achievement. Also, he did increase defense spending and cut income taxes. Yet that cut in taxes did not produce the growth in the economy

which was predicted. In fact, the gross national product fell, and is continuing to fall, further establishing the economic recession in its wake. Finally, there is the issue of the budget. In 1980, Reagan criticized President Carter for his gigantic deficits. Since then, the deficit has ballooned from an enormous $60 billion deficit in the final year of Carter's term to well over $200 billion. The future does not appear any brighter. The Congressional Budget Office predicted that in 1987 there would be a whopping $322 billion deficit! These high deficits will cause interest rates to rise because the government competes with the private sector for available money. Consequently, high interest rates will acerbate the already painful recession. Even the conservative businessman is crying for a c u t in taxes. On January 19, 1983, three

Unpredictable space launches pose by Win Wells what dangerous on earth should At 5:21 p.m. EST last Sunday, an example of man's technological advancement died a fiery death over an isolated spot in the Indian Ocean. The death of this satelite showed the harsh reality of the questions concerning the hazards of these objects. The shocking truth is that two other satelites have fallen back to earth, causing peril to us before Cosmos 1402. In 1978 the USSR, also responsable for this week's incident, launched an illfated satelite that eventually crashed over Northern Canada, spewing radioactive debris over a 500 mile path. Yet Russia is not the only advanced country at fault. Before Cosmos 958 fell over Canada, Skylab, a product of our country, plunged the Indian intoOcean the atmosphere where, to over the shock of the United States, the surviving debris found a desert in Australia to settle. Thus, one now might say the precedent has been set for these incidents. That precedent is a dangerous idea which should be stopped if man is t o use space to its fullest and safest potential. The idea of using an energy source still considered to be some-

risk damaging the space (and earth) around us with nuclear powered satelites? Perhaps it is time to gather and create some rules concerning the safe use of outer space. It is also time to settle the ever-present

leading business groups called on President Reagan to reduce government spending by $50 billion. Even more frightening than that, officials of six previous administrations, including five former treasury secretaries, said that unless deficits are reduced, there will be "economic stagnation with no end in sight." The insensitivity displayed by the editorial also concerned me. Just because no one is "starving," times remain very difficult. Unemployment benefits are running out, cars are being reposessed, and people are being evicted. These are painful times. John Steinbeck's Grapes o f Wrath echoes into the eighties as people move to the promised land of the Sun Belt and live in "Hoovervilles" - I mean "Reaganvilles." America, do not stay the course. Prosperity is not just around the corner. I truly hope that Reagan or someone else can come up with an answer to the current economic dil'emma before history repeats itself. questions concerning the sale of are sometimes unsuccessful knowledge of technology to lesser developed countries and liability of these handicapped satelites. Although the UN has conducted several sessions on this question, it is obvious in the eyes of many that these attempts have been just that - attempts.

Twelve lHers to travel to la belle France

The students will arrive in Paris before travelling to Angers, located 150 kilometers southwest of Paris. The group will return home March 3. Upon arriving in Angers, the exchangers will stay with French families and attend school while they learn more about France's language and culture. For the past six years, exchanges were held with AixenProvence under the direction of Mrs. JoAnn Wund. When this arrangement was canceled last year, students established a new link with Angers. The French students hosting them, however, did not complete the exchange by visiting the U.S.

Everyone has to answe; to someone, be it God, society, employers, teachers or elders. But there are instances, however, when an individual can take advantage of a lack of scrutiny and attention from others. Students are often guilty of taking advantage of such situations, but there are other possibly more detrimental abuses of their freedom at IH: teachers. The focus of this editorial is not discipline or competence on the part of the teacher, but a more subtle problem: the issue of indoctrination. To paraphrase Noah Webster, indoctrination is the teaching of a student to accept a system of thought without question as opposed to an education which is the passing of knowledge untainted by personal opinions. Many teachers at IH, some more blatantly than others, impart their feelings on subjects, be they historical figures, interpretations of the arts, political events etc. Often these opinions are designed to and often do generate discussions and arguments that increase a student's capacity to reason and communicate. But, much of this free-floating personal doctrine is not qualified as such and students treat it as fact. We do not call on teachers to change their teaching styles or refrain from mixing opinion with fact. On the contrary. We believe that labeling personal feelings as such will encourage students to voice their own opinions thus furthering their education. Moreover, students need to be aware that some amount of indoctrination occurs at IH and should not accept opinions as fact.

as I see it

Americans have right apanese imports by John Bergman Lastweek the Prime Minister of Jar an paid a visit to our country. He conversed at great length with President Reagan on issues concerning international trade. Many of the issues discussed are far too complicated t o enumerate here, but one of the questions that has been debated for some time, and which undoubtedly found its way into last week's discourse, can at least be briefly examined. The question: should the importation of Japanese and other foreign goods into the United States be limited in order to promote the sale of American made products? The argument in favor of regulation is, for obvious reasons, most emphatically stated by American workers in the automobile industry. Their arguments are quite clear cut. In the first place, they argue, since Japan's reconstruction after World Wat 11, Japan has gradually risen in economic stature to its present awesome position. It now controls the automobile industry with complete and unquestionable authority . I t is not hard to understand why American workers object. They see Japan's rise to glory as a direct result of help that we gave to Japan, and it bothers them that we are now suffering from our own good deeds. America, these workers argue, should take care of her own people, before she worries about others. Furthermore, workers in the American automobile industry envy the Japanese economic structure. The Japanese government works in direct cooperation with its own country's businesses, by making policies in conformance with the good of the companies involved. Business leaders and government leaders are as one in their goals; each has the other t o thank f ~ its r own success. American workers see this attitude as being in direct juxtaposition t o what they per-

ceive as American apathy. "How can we hope to build a better car," they ask, "when we start with such disadvantages." The American workers make the arguments and then they make their conclusive plea: "If our government must continue in its present course with respect t o domestic industrial policies, then America must change its international trade policies. The frrst step t o American prosperity is the prosperity of the American worker. People must be encouraged to buy American goods." As usual, the argument which I chose to present first, as convincing as it may sound, is not my own. At least the conclusion is not mine. It is, of course, true that the American automobile industry is suffering from severe problems. It is also true that many of the problems are caused by the success of the Japanese automobile industry, and that success was largely American induced. I t does not, however, follow from the above revelations that the American consumer should be forced to buy American-made automobiles. As I see it, the question under consideration revolves around a principle which is extremely basic and which is inherent t o the American concept of free trade. That concept recognizes that every consumer has a right t o select and buy the best product on the market for his particular needs. Perhaps it is true that our government should be more cooperative with American industry, but the truth or falsity of this statement has nothing to do with the consumer's rights. Regardless of the reason, it seems t o be fairly well accepted at the present time that the Japanese make a filie automobile. Our government should not adopt a policy that will prevent the American consumer from purchasing such quality merchandise. If the American automobile industry would use its creative know-how t o rise above its competition, it would not have t o rely upon a restrictive import policy t o achieve superiority.

JV Squaws benefit from new found depth by Ellen Alvord and Shari Zesch The Indian Hill JV basketball Squaws, in trying to improve their record, have at least improved their playing ability. The JV coach, Miss Sharon Cooke, agrees. "The skill level of the whole team is improving, and I'm now able to play a greater variety of players." The team has improved its record to 4-10, 3-6 in the EHL, with two wins in the past four games. The team's scoring ability is much better but still needs a good deal of work. Evidence of this was shown in the Squaws' most recent game, when they lost, 51-26, to a talented Sycamore team but scored ten more points

than in their first game against Sycamore. Although the Squaws did not demonstrate their potential, the improvement in shooting allowed some encouragement. IH won one of the best of their recent games, 28-26, against Purcell-Marian three days earlier, on January 22. The Squaws showed that they could not only take command of the game but also pull out a win when the score got close. The team showed their first real signs of their desperately needed improvement in a convincing win against Deer Park, 26-23, four days earlier. The Squaws led at the end of each quarter, as they also did against Purcell-Marian. Freshman Ann Powell, the

high scorer in both of the recent wins, commented, "Lately, we've been shooting much more and much better than in the early part of the Cooke season." is also keeping a positive attitude. 'We've had to go against tough teams that are taller and older than us, but our shooting and our defense are improving, and we're getting more fast breaks now." The remaining five games in the season are not going t o be easy by any means, but day-today improvement in both playing ability and confidence should give the Squaws a chance to defeat some of the teams to which they lost earlier in the season.

If's now or never for JV Braves by Brian Rowe The JV Braves enter tonight's important showdown with Sycamore standing 4 4 in the league. While not mathematically out of striking range for the EHL, a win tonights plus a fivegame winning streak will almost be mandatory for the team to have a shot at the championship. Turning the clock back six weeks, you may remember the Bravesy 39-38 loss to Sycamore. The Braves have been working very diligently in preparing to

avenge this defeat, which has been a thorn in the Braves' sides all year. The Aves enter tonight's game standing 7-1 in the league, a record that puts even more, as coach Gary Gellert would put it, "fire in their eyes." The Braves edged Deer Park, 4 9 4 8 , on January 14, to even their league record. After building a large halftime lead, IH allowed Deer Park to narrow the gap but managed to hold on for the victory. Brian Rowe and Dave Stanforth paced IH with ten and

nine points, respectively. The Braves dropped two close decisions to Glen Este and Green Hills the week prior to the Deer Park game. IH made a good showing in their 41-38 loss to Glen Este in front of a large Indian Hill partisan crowd but couldn't get things together in the last few minutes of the contest, which has been the Braves' major problem most of this season. Pete Seremetis, the Braves' leading scorer this season, led in this game as well, with 11 points.

However, the loss cost IH any hope of being seeded higher than third in the tournament, which gets underway at Mariemont High School this Saturday. In non-league action, the Braves split two games. In the most recent of these, they were trampled by Purcell, 58-29, January 19. Andy Tucker and Metzger took scoring honors with nine and seven points, respectively. The Braves blew a 23-12 halftime lead but hung on to edge Finney town, 36-33, January 13.

The law was made in order to attempt to decrease the selling and use of drugs and to cut down on the counterfeiting of drugs under a company's trademark. Quite often, counterfeit drugs will appear with a company's trademark stamped on them. These drugs may often fool regular buyers of another drug into buying the counterfeit drug for less. This could be serious for patients buying the fraudulent drugs, thinking they are getting the medicine they need. To prevent this occurance, a person found possessing a punch plate used for marking pills with trademarks will be prosecuted just as a buyer or seller would. The penalties for the violation of this law range from a misdemeanor of the first degree (maximum penalty of six months imprisonment and a $1,000 fine) to a felony of the first degree (maximum penalty of 25 years imprisonment and a $10,000 fine). For students wishing to read this five page law, it is posted on the guidance and attendance office bulletin boards and will be printed in the student handbook.

CHIEFTAIN

way of the woods

lHer survives run-in with game warden by Dwight Poffenberger Sunday, when most Indian Hillers were nestled comfortably in front of the television watching Miami advance to the Super Bowl, one unique individual was being chased by a game warden through a Brown County woods. This particular individual has expressed a concern to remain anonymous but has agreed to comment on his adventure. For the purpose of this article we shall name him Mr. X. I would like to make it clear that I am not Mr. X. Mr. X leads a perfectly normal life but suffers from one abnormality. He loves to deer hunt and was intent upon filling his freezer with venison this winter. Now the season has ended, so Mr. X will have to wait until next fall. Mr. X deer hunts more than anyone I know. Every Saturday he awakens at 5:00 a.m. and drives out to his brother's farm in Brown County. During the Ohio gun season Mr. X hunts with a gun, but from October 2 to January 29 he hunts with a bow. "I don't hunt with guns illegally ," claims Mr. X. Sunday Mr. X was hunting illegally. It is against the law to hunt in Ohio on Sundays, but he had to have one last deer hunt. He and a friend had split up and Mr. X heard a car coming down the road. "I didn't think anything of it . All of the sudden he was right there." Mr. X quickly jumped into a briar patch and yelled for his friend when the game warden's car stopped next to his. When the two found each other they ran a half mile in the other direction, jumping over creeks and downed logs. When they found a freshly downed tree they hid the bows under it and covered up their tracks. They then headed toward Mr. X's brother's house. Arriving at the house, the two young men were informed that the warden, appropriately called Snead, had stopped and asked of their whereabouts. Snead was going to get some police dogs and track down the boys. "That's when I started getting paranoid," tells Mr. X. Luckly for the boys, they decided to find Snead and fast. They intercepted him driving down the road.

The mystery man who ran into problems with the law last Sunday displays his artillery. When the warden got out of his car Mr. X said, "I heard you were looking for us." When the warden asked if they had been hunting, the boys told him they had only been walking around. Now this Snead is no fool, so he asked them where their bows were. Mr. X told the warden that his was at home back in Cincinnati. His friend said, "1 don't know." When the warden persisted with the question, Mr. X's friend could not come up with any right answers. Again the warden asked if the boys had been hunting.

Each of these positions will be fairly new experiences for Indian Hill, since last year was the first time students gained positions in these committees. Co-advisor John Nellis commented, "This year's team has taken on some firsts for this year's competition." The Internation Simulation, for example, is a mock convention in which international problems and conflicts are created. The participating delegates must then resolve these conflicts through diplomatic channels or risk world peace. In addition to the new com-

Mr. X tells me he was willing to confess, but wasn't sure if his friend was ready. After more questioning, the boys finally gave in and admitted their guilt. The warden was extremely lenient and let the boys off with a warning. He told them that he had to follow laws that he didn't agree with just like they did. He told them that h e better not catch them again or they would face either a large fine or possibly a prison term. Mr. X left me with one comment about his friend Snead, "all in all he was pretty cool about it."

Come E l f , best teachers will stay by John Christine Dr. Robert E. Boston met with high school teachers to discuss the district's teacher evaluation system on Monday, January 24. Referring to the tenure law, Boston stated, "Seniority should not be the only prerequisite to employment. We must do whatever we can to keep excellent teachers in this system. The vast majority of our staff is excellent," Boston stressed. However, he feels his evaluation system is necessary because, "'We want to be assured that we have the very best teachers." The evaluation system, Boston says, was designed for all IH schools to "measure the degree of teacher

excellence." According to Board of Education Treasurer Mr. Harold Bush, a teacher acquires tenure by earning a Professional Certificate from the state after three years of teaching plus eighteen semester hours of classes (in the courses that he or she teaches). This law is found in the Ohio Revised Code, which governs the operation of Ohio public schools. It has been in existance for over forty years. Both the teachers and administration helped form the evaluation system. Dr. Feltman and his assistants are responsible for the evaluating of individual staff members. Although teachers are observed every year, Feltman formally appraises them every

three years. Feltman looks for six basic qualities in a teacher evaluation. Teachers must have a knowledge of their subject matter. They must also demonstrate the ability to communicate, maintain control, and individualize with students. Finally, teachers must have a positive attitude and exhibit maturity. Bush explained differences between a continuous contract (tenure) and a limited contract. If a teacher is on a limited contract, which is a year-long contract, the administration may terminate his or her contract without stating a reason. However a tenured teacner must be given reasons for termi-

nation. These reasons are outlined in the Ohio Revised Code. The Code states "the contract of a teacher (with tenure) may not be terminated except for gross inefficiency or immorality; for willful persistent violations o f reasonable regulations of the board of education or for good and just cause." When making employment decisions, Feltman states that the evaluation is "extremely important." "Regardless to the number of years tenure (when choosing between two teachers) I want the one with the best teaching ability," he said. Mr. Bush states that only 18 out of the 134 teachers employed in the IH school system do not have tenure. He concluded that the evaluation system will play a significant role in the future.

MUN to debate in Washington by Win Wells Fifteen members of Indian Hill's Model United Nations Club will be travelling t o Washington, D.C., to attend the twentieth annual North American Invitational Model United Nations sponsored by Georgetown University ~ e b r u a 10-1 r ~ 3. Indian Hill will b e sending two delegations to this year's conference. One delegation will be involved in the General Assembly where Indian Hill will be representing Syria, while the other delegation will b e simulating Nicaragua in the Economic and Social Committee. In the General Assembly, the Syrian delegates will deal with a variety of topics, among them Palestine and Disarmament. Each

topic will be discussed by either the Economic and Financial Committee, the Special Political Committee, the Plenary and the Social Committee, or the Humanitarian and Cultural Committee. The Economic and Social Committee, although similar to the General Assembly, will deal with matters of economic and social problems exclusively. Among the topics discussed will be the World Food Council, the International Monetary Fund and the question of Human Rights. Apart from the GA and the Economic and Social Committee, some students will participate in other specialized committees at Georgetown. Among these are

GelIert explains 'Look-alike' drug law by Ken Jones Assistant Principal Mr. Gary Gellert made an announcement pertaining to the "Look-Alike" Drug Law Monday, January 24. This law was passed in August of 1982 by the General Assembly of Ohio to stop the trafficking of counterfeit substances. The law defines a counterfeit drug as any substance which resembles or is sold as a controlled

substance. This means, for example, if a student buys a substance assuming it is marijuana, he will be breaking the law despite the fact that the certain substance is not illegal. The seller also violates the law in the same way if he or she attempts to sell or deliver regular vitamin pills under a false pretext.
