the fact that there are a few more

"Lisa Holzman, Mary Granger

pretty often," Davis said. "Last

Religion vs. politics highlight upcoming SG projects

by John Bergman
The conflict between religion
and politics is one of the oldest
and most hotly debated issues.
Most people, including our consti-
tutional forefathers, believe that
the two subjects should be kept
completely separate. Inevitably,
though, there are certain times
when the two clash.
One such confrontation oc-
curred over the past two weeks.
It all started when President Rea-
gan made the "mistake" of ceas-
ing to enforce a policy denying
tax-examption to discriminatory
religious institutions. Only non-
discriminatory institutions used
to be tax-exempt. When Reagan
realized his "error," he quickly
made it clear to the public that he
was going to correct it.
At this point, Bob Jones' Uni-
versity comes in to the picture.
Bob Jones' University is a very
strict parochial college. It alleg-
edly runs all school activities "by
the rules of the Bible." The col-
lege insists that, according to the
rules of the Bible, no student of
the college may date a membe~of
a different race or religion. Resi-
dent Reagan, in the aftermath of
his confession, now points to this
rule as discriminatory.
"But wait," says Bob Jones
and company; "we believe that
we are conducting ourselves in the
exact manner prescribed by the
Bible. If you penalize us for it,
you will be taking away part of
our religious freedom ." Therein,
Bob Jones would have you be-
lieve, lie the seeds for a great de-
bate.
I do not believe that grounds
for debate exist. As I see it, Bob
Jones' university, no matter how
righteous and moral its followers
believe it to be, should not be tax-
exempt. Just because a group of
people chooses to label its dis-
criminatory practices as religion,
the group is not entitled to prac-
tice discrimination at the expense
of society at large.
The real question here is not
separation of church and state.
President Reagan did sot suggest
for even a moment thet Bob
Jones' University should not be
allowed to practice discrimina-
tion. He merely said that the vast
majority of the citizens of the
United States who do not agree
with Bob Jones should not have
to pick up the tab. Freedom of
religion, yes. A free ride for dis-
crimination, no! I whole-heat-
edly agree.
Dear Fellow Students,
The forum last Wednesday,
which featured IH's Drama Club,
was Student Government's most
recent project. The production
was a success, and we thank you
for attending. The forum com-
mittee, however, does need sug-
gestions for the next forum. One
idea is having a speaker come, but
no definite plans have been made
as of yet.
The exchange committee has
arranged a student exchange with
Cincinnati Country Day school
for February 3. The sign-ups
were held this past week. The IH
students will spend the entire day
at CCDS learning how a private
school is run. Other exchanges
will be announced, and the sign-
ups will be two weeks before the
exchange by the main office.
Also .on February 3, there will
be a Student Government meet-
ing. The meeting will be at 12:OO
in the DECA room, and is open
for anyone who wishes to attend.
The five class cabinet members
from each class (who will be ex-
cused), will be contacted this
weekend.
While the SG representatives
read the the announcements from
the meeting on February 4 in
homeroom, the annual Computer
Dating project will begin. The
representative will pass out ques-
tionnaires on dating preferences
for all students to fill out. These
papers are then sent to the com-
puter company, and they match
everyone up with their top ten
dates in the school. The matched
lists will take four to six weeks to
return, and then wi3l be sold for
$1.50 in the cafeteria. The
money collected will go to the
Heart Fund.
The basketball tournament is
also under way. The IH intra-
mural teams have been formed,
and the other schools' intramural
teams have been invited to parti-
cipate. The IH intramural teams
play every Saturday afternoon in
the gym, so if you want to see
some basketball action and see
which team will be playing in the
tournament, go to the IH gym
and watch.
Not only have the SG com-
mittees been busy, but the indi-
vidual classes have been doing a
lot of work and planning too.
The sophomores, for example, are
selling Braves T-shirts in the cafe-
teria for $650. The shirts will be
on sale through February 12.
This is only one of their many

The past two swimming meets
against Walnut Hills and New
Richmond brought two solid vic-
tories to the Aquateam. This is
just what the team had been look-
ing for in an otherwise losing
season.
The squad of Rob Gaddis,
Mark Aldendifer, Derek Acker-
man, and Cliff Wingerter started
off the meet against Walnut HiUs
with a fust place time of 1:48.06
in the 200 medley relay. This
paved the way for Gaddis, who
caught fust place in the 200 in-
dividual medley with his time of
2:10.15. The 50 freestyle
brought in a first from Wingerter
with a time of 23: 37, and a sec-
ond with a 24.72 from Jim
Koster.
In the 100 butterfly, Acker-
man, with a 55.75, grabbed first
place, and Wingerter won the 100
freestyle with an even 54 seconds.
The grueling 500 freestyle event
was fought by Marc Levan, who
came in third place. Ackerman
took another fust place, this time
in the 100 breaststroke with a
time of 1:05. Strong swims also
came from Rob McVicker, Tim
Schaefer, Greg Morris and Barb
Dirvin.
The Aquasqauws' medley re-
lay team of Diane Remmel, Kris
Brockman, Betsy Weller, and Beth
2:05.55. Weller swam to first
place in the 100 butterfly with a
time of 1:04.53. The 100 free
brought a first place time of
59.81 to Wingerter, and a second
place to Diane Remmell with a
1:01.5 1. Whitney Winn swam the
500 freestyle for the girls in
8: 10.47, which received a second
place. Another frrst was landed
by Kris Brockman in the 100
breaststroke.
Cobering the diving spectrum
of the Aquateam's meet against
Walnut Hills was Mike Gruber,
taking first. Stacey Labahn came
in second, and Scott Lyon placed
third.
After the victory over Walnut
Hills, the Aquabraves dunked

going public has a greater capacity
for stimulation than credit has
previously been given. For the
last few years, we have been bom-
barded with misogynistic trash
such as Halloween 11, Happy

as well as special effects contests
like Time Bandits, The Empire

The first big breakthrough for
the "over twelves" in the audi-
ence was Ordinary People, fol-
lowed by The Four Seasons. As
they were not aimed at rapists or
children, they were considered
'risky.' Even Arthur wasn't ex-

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

like.
It involves the story of an
elderly couple who spend their
summers on Golden Pond.
Katherine Hepburn plays the
zesty, good-natured wife of Henry
Fonda, a grouch, whose witty
sarcasm and obsession with death
hides the love buried deep within.
As one of Hepburn's lines runs:
"You're the sweetest man in the
.
world. . and I'm the only one
who knows it." They are visited
on Golden Pond by their daugh-
ter, Jane Fonda, her lover, Dab-
ney Coleman (9 to 5, Modem
Problems), and his son, Doug
McKeon. As J. Fonda struggles
through the pain of seeking love
and positive attention from her
father, and Hepburn struggles to
keep the family together, H.
Fonda enjoys the ride playing
with the minds of all the other
characters. When Jane and
Dabney-go back to the routine of
two elements make the song very
listenable, but not exciting. "Vic-
tim of Love" is an entirely dif-
ferent story. The lyrics are so
repetitious that the song is izrita-
ting as well as boring; not to men-
tion the nauseating clapping
found on several cuts on the
album. Side one ends with a song
called "Cruiser," which may have
originally been intended to be
reggae but turned out to be disco
sounding.
Side two consists of four
songs: "A Dream Away", "This
Could be Love", "Think it Over",
and "Maybe Baby". Of these,
only "This Could be Love" is
even worth mentioning. In fact,
it almost makes up for the other
three songs on the side. "This
Could be Love" has the lyrics and
erie sound found on earlier Cars'
albums, as it could even be con-
sidered one their best songs t o
date.
The Cars seem to have rushed
this album, as many songs have
good foundations, while others
are a waste of vinyl. As a whole,
the album rates at about a five,
only because you can chew your
gum to it.
daily life elsewhere, they decide
to leave D. McKeon to stay on
Golden Pond for a month, who
happens to religiously employ the
expletive that popularly defines
the collective excrement of male
bovine animals.
The irony of this movie is that
the Fondas' true-life relationship
closely correlates to the one they
portray in their characters.
Nevertheless, as the Academy
Awards are just around the cor-
ner, this genuinely moving film
will certainly be the one the
others will confront most.
The photography is simply
stunning and director Mark Ry-
dell ( m e Rose) does a marvelous
job, but Ernest Thompson's
script, being based on his own
play, was clearly made for the ac-
tors. If the four main actors are
not at least nominated, movie-
goers may rightfully question the
belief of God. It is almost un-
questionable that Henry Fonda
will win Best Actor hands down.
The fact that he is so old, his role
is so great, and he has never won
an Oscar (save his Oscar for Life-
time Achievement) makes it seem-
January 29, '8982
ingly impossible that he won't.
Peter Finch did for Network be-
cause of his death, and Melvyn
Douglas was Best Supporting Ac-
tor for Being n e r e before his
dearh. Katharine Hepburn could
well make motion picture history
by winning her fourth Oscar; she
already holds the record for nom-
inations (11) and ties with Ingrid
Bergman for winning.
And of course, On Golden
Pond itself will give the other
nominees many a sleepless night
in the Best Picture category.
The amazing thing is that it is
so appealing to all ages. Everyone
can relate to it. If I've not yet
convinced you to see this film,
you probably don't deserve its
intensity anyway.
THE KEN JONES STORY
Ken Jones won Chieftain's
Super Bowl contest with his pre-
dictions of a 49'ers victory, 28-
21. He recieved autographed pic-
tures of each of the three admin-
istrators and two Frisch's cou-
pons, each redeemable for a
"famous Big Boy," french fries,
and a twelve ounce milkshake.
Dr. Feltman presented the prizes
on Monday. Jones' only com-
ment: "I'm only sorry I couldn't
go with the home team."

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

On Tuesday, February 10, the

Some of the Spanish students that

The climate in Gandia will be

Fre nch Ex change

For the first time in five years,

who are planning to go.
The IH exchange now plans t o
travel to the town of Angers,

Loire River Valley, in the west-
central region of the country.

the windy city, Chicago. The
club travels out of town at least
two or three times each year for
these competitions.

Paris, the group will stay in
Angers until their return on
February 27.
The exchangers' problems be-
gan when the French school in
Aix, Lycee Paul Cezanne, notified
Mrs. Connelly, the group chap-
erone, that it could not house all
of the students and that it would
be better if Indian Hill found
another school in France where
all 15 exchangers could.go.
Dwight Poffenberger , one of
the exchangers commented, "I
was really mad because I didn't
think we were going to get to go."
After two weeks of planning,
Mrs. Wund arranged for the group
to stay in Angers. Another ex-
changer, junior Kurt ~ u s t e r erg
b
said that "besides being in Paris,
Angers will be the second best
place we could stay."
Three other schools that were
planning on sending exchange
groups to France had difficulties
sirniliar to those of IH. Mrs.
'
Connelly said that these problems
were due to the "current econom-
ic crisis existing in France."
These problems have arisen from
the high French inflation rate
which has made it economically
difficult for many French families
to house an exchange student for
t h e e weeks.

senior sketch
Kenarssance Kres goes
by Rod Barr
How does one begin an article
about John Ries? If one first dis-
cusses his intellectual and aca-
demic life, John might sound
like a 'ween' or a 'brain' who
spends his weekends studying and
his free time reading physics text-
books. If one first discussed his
musical interests, then that might
appear to be his only activity. If
one first discussed his athletics
pursuits, then it might seem that
John is always riding a bike or
climbing a mountain. I guess the
easiest way to begin an article
about John Ries is to bring all of
that together and say that he is
the closest IH can get to a true
Renaissance man.
Musically, John keeps his
chops in shape by playing trom-
bone in the Stage Band, the Pow-
Wow Orchestra, and the highly
selective Cincinnati Youth Sym-
phony Orchestra. John was also
recently selected to be a member
of the All-State Orchestra, which
consists of the best musicians in
the state who meet for a weekend
of "intense practice" and a con-
cert. Although John loves play-
ing and plans to continue playing
during college, he does not see
music as his prime source of in-
come; "I just love it. It's hard
and it takes a lot of time and
effort to develop the skill; but I
find it really relaxing. But I think
it's going to remain just a hobby."
Another facet of this hobby is
Pep Band. In fact, one will find
John directing this unique group
tonight at the Sycamore game.
Even with the considerable
time John spends working and
playing
- - - with bands, he still makes
the time to participate in a my-
riad of other school activities.
Among his most prestigious posi-
tions must, of course, be his co-
editorship of Chieftain's news sec-
tion. Even as I write this article,
John Ries is huddled off in some
remote corner furiously editing
news stories. John also is in-
volved in the Peer Counseling
program, about which he says, "I
wish I'd started it three years ago.
It's just relating with people. I
find it fascinating. The retreats
were one of the best times I've
had this year; it meant a lot."
John is also a member of the awe-
some IH "It's Academic" team,
which John sees as his only real
. .
"competitive" activity; "I try not
to be heavily into competition,
CHIEFTAIN
but that's the one thing where I
say, 'Let's beat the other guy."'
Academically, John's prime
interests lay in the fields of litera-
ture and history. John com-
mented, "Literature and reading
and history give you a flavor for
people and cultures. I find that
interesting." His skill in those
areas can be judged from some of
the many awards he has won,
which include being named first
in the state in English his sopho-
more year, and winning the NCTE
writing award. The list of his
academic honors goes on and on,
but he has managed to keep a
level head despite his laurels;
"Awards mean a whole lot to me
before I get them and not much
after I get them ."
When asked what he thought
he would be doing in ten years

Lauren deals with reality

Witty Lauren O'Grady is the
type of person worth talking t o -
and an interesting person to inter-
view. She answers all questions
right off the bat. None of that
"golly gee I don't know," stuff.
She really knows herself well.
Lauren is a lot of fun to be
with. Her favorite activity is
painting bookcases, especially
black, seeing that is her favorite
color. Another activity she really
enjoys is playing "Dungeons &
Dragons" by herself. "It is really
thrilling" she states.
As far as her senior year goes
she states, "It has been fine in

every aspect excepr -for school
and all things related to it." She
really seems to love the school
though. "I love it! I hate t o
leave. I really love the adminis-
trators," Lauren said honestly.
Next year, Lauren plans to go
to U.C., and if she is not accepted
there, she may have to settle for
Harvard .
During the summer, Lauren
enjoys vacationing in Vermont.
During her stays in Vecmont, she
loves to spend a lot of time hik-
ing.
Presently, Lauren is working
at Frank's Nursery and seems t o
be overjoyed by the job.

Lauren moved here her soph-
omore year from New Jersey.
- before
"We arrived here the night
school started," she explains, "so
I really couldn't tell what the
house looked like. After school
the next day, the bus dropped me
off at the end of the street. All
the houses looked exactly alike,
so I just walked up and down the
street trying to figure out which
house was mine. Finally my
mom saw me and called me in,"
Lauren laughs.
How does Cincinnati com-
pare to New Jersey? "Boring!
Here the intellects read Harlequin
Romances and watch "General
Hospital" for excitement."
As for hobbies, Lauren has
one she has found particularly in-
teresting and one she can practice
quite often. "I find staring very
interesting, especially in govern-
ment," she says with excitement.
Lauren's favorite movie is
Julia; her favorite musician is Bob
Weis and just a note away in
second is Barb Dirvin. Her
idol? Whom do you think? "The
one and only. . . Barb Dirvin."
So as you can tell, Lauren
does have a lot of fun-filled activi-
ties and does manage to keep
herself busy and entertained
doing these things. So if you see
her in the hall someday and you
have nothing to do after school,
just stop and ask her if you can
assist her in painting a bookcase
or challenge her to a staring con-
test. She'd gladly accept.

John rides his bike quite a bit, but
not as much as he used to or
would like to. His greatest
accomplishment on the two-

200 miles in 20 hours. John also
likes to climb big rocks while tied

spent two weeks climbing in the

Canada. John comments, "The

Kenarssance Kres goes
by Rod Barr
How does one begin an article
about John Ries? If one first dis-
cusses his intellectual and aca-
demic life, John might sound
like a 'ween' or a 'brain' who
spends his weekends studying and
his free time reading physics text-
books. If one first discussed his
musical interests, then that might
appear to be his only activity. If
one first discussed his athletics
pursuits, then it might seem that
John is always riding a bike or
climbing a mountain. I guess the
easiest way to begin an article
about John Ries is to bring all of
that together and say that he is
the closest IH can get to a true
Renaissance man.
Musically, John keeps his
chops in shape by playing trom-
bone in the Stage Band, the Pow-
Wow Orchestra, and the highly
selective Cincinnati Youth Sym-
phony Orchestra. John was also
recently selected to be a member
of the All-State Orchestra, which
consists of the best musicians in
the state who meet for a weekend
of "intense practice" and a con-
cert. Although John loves play-
ing and plans to continue playing
during college, he does not see
music as his prime source of in-
come; "I just love it. It's hard
and it takes a lot of time and
effort to develop the skill; but I
find it really relaxing. But I think
it's going to remain just a hobby."
Another facet of this hobby is
Pep Band. In fact, one will find
John directing this unique group
tonight at the Sycamore game.
Even with the considerable
time John spends working and
playing
- - - with bands, he still makes
the time to participate in a my-
riad of other school activities.
Among his most prestigious posi-
tions must, of course, be his co-
editorship of Chieftain's news sec-
tion. Even as I write this article,
John Ries is huddled off in some
remote corner furiously editing
news stories. John also is in-
volved in the Peer Counseling
program, about which he says, "I
wish I'd started it three years ago.
It's just relating with people. I
find it fascinating. The retreats
were one of the best times I've
had this year; it meant a lot."
John is also a member of the awe-
some IH "It's Academic" team,
which John sees as his only real
. .
"competitive" activity; "I try not
to be heavily into competition,
CHIEFTAIN
but that's the one thing where I
say, 'Let's beat the other guy."'
Academically, John's prime
interests lay in the fields of litera-
ture and history. John com-
mented, "Literature and reading
and history give you a flavor for
people and cultures. I find that
interesting." His skill in those
areas can be judged from some of
the many awards he has won,
which include being named first
in the state in English his sopho-
more year, and winning the NCTE
writing award. The list of his
academic honors goes on and on,
but he has managed to keep a
level head despite his laurels;
"Awards mean a whole lot to me
before I get them and not much
after I get them ."
When asked what he thought
he would be doing in ten years

She really knows herself well.
Lauren is a lot of fun to be
with. Her favorite activity is
painting bookcases, especially
black, seeing that is her favorite
color. Another activity she really
enjoys is playing "Dungeons &
Dragons" by herself. "It is really
thrilling" she states.
As far as her senior year goes
she states, "It has been fine in

every aspect excepr -for school
and all things related to it." She
really seems to love the school
though. "I love it! I hate t o
leave. I really love the adminis-
trators," Lauren said honestly.
Next year, Lauren plans to go
to U.C., and if she is not accepted
there, she may have to settle for
Harvard .
During the summer, Lauren
enjoys vacationing in Vermont.
During her stays in Vecmont, she
loves to spend a lot of time hik-
ing.
Presently, Lauren is working
at Frank's Nursery and seems t o
be overjoyed by the job.

by alumnus Nojh Gipnopt
Commercial film studios are
finallv realizim" that the movie-
going public has a greater capacity
for stimulation than credit has
previously been given. For the
last few years, we have been bom-
barded with misogynistic trash
such as Halloween 11, Happy
Birthday to Me, and Prom Night,
as well as special effects contests
like Time Bandits, The Empire
Strikes Back, and Raiders of the '
Lost Ark.
The first big breakthrough for
the "over twelves" in the audi-
ence was Ordinary People, fol-
lowed by The Four Seasons. As
they were not aimed at rapists or
children, they were considered
'risky.' Even Arthur wasn't ex-
pected to appeal t o the younger
audience. The flood of extremist
high- and lowbudget films has
not yet come to a halt, but there
is a definite transition to more
serious and emotional dramas.

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

anti-perspirant spray to the arm-
pits of Fox, Universal, and the
like.
It involves the story of an
elderly couple who spend their
summers on Golden Pond.
Katherine Hepburn plays the
zesty, good-natured wife of Henry
Fonda, a grouch, whose witty
sarcasm and obsession with death
hides the love buried deep within.
As one of Hepburn's lines runs:
"You're the sweetest man in the
.
world. . and I'm the only one
who knows it." They are visited
on Golden Pond by their daugh-
ter, Jane Fonda, her lover, Dab-
ney Coleman (9 to 5, Modem
Problems), and his son, Doug
McKeon. As J. Fonda struggles
through the pain of seeking love
and positive attention from her
father, and Hepburn struggles to
keep the family together, H.
Fonda enjoys the ride playing
with the minds of all the other
characters. When Jane and
Dabney-go back to the routine of
two elements make the song very
listenable, but not exciting. "Vic-
tim of Love" is an entirely dif-
ferent story. The lyrics are so
repetitious that the song is izrita-
ting as well as boring; not to men-
tion the nauseating clapping
found on several cuts on the
album. Side one ends with a song
called "Cruiser," which may have
originally been intended to be
reggae but turned out to be disco
sounding.
Side two consists of four
songs: "A Dream Away", "This
Could be Love", "Think it Over",
and "Maybe Baby". Of these,
only "This Could be Love" is
even worth mentioning. In fact,
it almost makes up for the other
three songs on the side. "This
Could be Love" has the lyrics and
erie sound found on earlier Cars'
albums, as it could even be con-
sidered one their best songs t o
date.
The Cars seem to have rushed
this album, as many songs have
good foundations, while others
are a waste of vinyl. As a whole,
the album rates at about a five,
only because you can chew your
gum to it.
daily life elsewhere, they decide
to leave D. McKeon to stay on
Golden Pond for a month, who
happens to religiously employ the
expletive that popularly defines
the collective excrement of male
bovine animals.
The irony of this movie is that
the Fondas' true-life relationship
closely correlates to the one they
portray in their characters.
Nevertheless, as the Academy
Awards are just around the cor-
ner, this genuinely moving film
will certainly be the one the
others will confront most.
The photography is simply
stunning and director Mark Ry-
dell ( m e Rose) does a marvelous
job, but Ernest Thompson's
script, being based on his own
play, was clearly made for the ac-
tors. If the four main actors are
not at least nominated, movie-
goers may rightfully question the
belief of God. It is almost un-
questionable that Henry Fonda
will win Best Actor hands down.
The fact that he is so old, his role
is so great, and he has never won
an Oscar (save his Oscar for Life-
time Achievement) makes it seem-
January 29, '8982
ingly impossible that he won't.
Peter Finch did for Network be-
cause of his death, and Melvyn
Douglas was Best Supporting Ac-
tor for Being n e r e before his
dearh. Katharine Hepburn could
well make motion picture history
by winning her fourth Oscar; she
already holds the record for nom-
inations (11) and ties with Ingrid
Bergman for winning.
And of course, On Golden
Pond itself will give the other
nominees many a sleepless night
in the Best Picture category.
The amazing thing is that it is
so appealing to all ages. Everyone
can relate to it. If I've not yet
convinced you to see this film,
you probably don't deserve its
intensity anyway.

Eight Indian Hill Spanish
students, accompanied by Mr.

Cincinnati airport en route to

participating in the School Ex-

to stay with host families for the
greater part of the trip.
Mr. Fogel claimed that the
purpose of the exchange program
will be beneficial for both parties
involved. "The American stu-
dents get first hand experience in
living with obvious differences in
language and life. Both the host
families and the IH student will
gain mutual understanding of
each other's culture."
The first four days of their
trip will be spent sightseeing in

Three other schools that were

Connelly said that these problems
were due to the "current econom-

Religion vs. politics highlight upcoming SG projects

by John Bergman
The conflict between religion
and politics is one of the oldest
and most hotly debated issues.
Most people, including our consti-
tutional forefathers, believe that
the two subjects should be kept
completely separate. Inevitably,
though, there are certain times
when the two clash.
One such confrontation oc-
curred over the past two weeks.
It all started when President Rea-
gan made the "mistake" of ceas-
ing to enforce a policy denying
tax-examption to discriminatory
religious institutions. Only non-
discriminatory institutions used
to be tax-exempt. When Reagan
realized his "error," he quickly
made it clear to the public that he
was going to correct it.
At this point, Bob Jones' Uni-
versity comes in to the picture.
Bob Jones' University is a very
strict parochial college. It alleg-
edly runs all school activities "by
the rules of the Bible." The col-
lege insists that, according to the
rules of the Bible, no student of
the college may date a membe~of
a different race or religion. Resi-
dent Reagan, in the aftermath of
his confession, now points to this
rule as discriminatory.
"But wait," says Bob Jones
and company; "we believe that
we are conducting ourselves in the
exact manner prescribed by the
Bible. If you penalize us for it,
you will be taking away part of
our religious freedom ." Therein,
Bob Jones would have you be-
lieve, lie the seeds for a great de-
bate.
I do not believe that grounds
for debate exist. As I see it, Bob
Jones' university, no matter how
righteous and moral its followers
believe it to be, should not be tax-
exempt. Just because a group of
people chooses to label its dis-
criminatory practices as religion,
the group is not entitled to prac-
tice discrimination at the expense
of society at large.
The real question here is not
separation of church and state.
President Reagan did sot suggest
for even a moment thet Bob
Jones' University should not be
allowed to practice discrimina-
tion. He merely said that the vast
majority of the citizens of the
United States who do not agree
with Bob Jones should not have
to pick up the tab. Freedom of
religion, yes. A free ride for dis-
crimination, no! I whole-heat-
edly agree.
Dear Fellow Students,
The forum last Wednesday,
which featured IH's Drama Club,
was Student Government's most
recent project. The production
was a success, and we thank you
for attending. The forum com-
mittee, however, does need sug-
gestions for the next forum. One
idea is having a speaker come, but
no definite plans have been made
as of yet.
The exchange committee has
arranged a student exchange with
Cincinnati Country Day school
for February 3. The sign-ups
were held this past week. The IH
students will spend the entire day
at CCDS learning how a private
school is run. Other exchanges
will be announced, and the sign-
ups will be two weeks before the
exchange by the main office.
Also .on February 3, there will
be a Student Government meet-
ing. The meeting will be at 12:OO
in the DECA room, and is open
for anyone who wishes to attend.
The five class cabinet members
from each class (who will be ex-
cused), will be contacted this
weekend.
While the SG representatives
read the the announcements from
the meeting on February 4 in
homeroom, the annual Computer
Dating project will begin. The
representative will pass out ques-
tionnaires on dating preferences
for all students to fill out. These
papers are then sent to the com-
puter company, and they match
everyone up with their top ten
dates in the school. The matched
lists will take four to six weeks to
return, and then wi3l be sold for
$1.50 in the cafeteria. The
money collected will go to the
Heart Fund.
The basketball tournament is
also under way. The IH intra-
mural teams have been formed,
and the other schools' intramural
teams have been invited to parti-
cipate. The IH intramural teams
play every Saturday afternoon in
the gym, so if you want to see
some basketball action and see
which team will be playing in the
tournament, go to the IH gym
and watch.
Not only have the SG com-
mittees been busy, but the indi-
vidual classes have been doing a
lot of work and planning too.
The sophomores, for example, are
selling Braves T-shirts in the cafe-
teria for $650. The shirts will be
on sale through February 12.
This is only one of their many

The past two swimming meets
against Walnut Hills and New
Richmond brought two solid vic-
tories to the Aquateam. This is
just what the team had been look-
ing for in an otherwise losing
season.
The squad of Rob Gaddis,
Mark Aldendifer, Derek Acker-
man, and Cliff Wingerter started
off the meet against Walnut HiUs
with a fust place time of 1:48.06
in the 200 medley relay. This
paved the way for Gaddis, who
caught fust place in the 200 in-
dividual medley with his time of
2:10.15. The 50 freestyle
brought in a first from Wingerter
with a time of 23: 37, and a sec-
ond with a 24.72 from Jim
Koster.
In the 100 butterfly, Acker-
man, with a 55.75, grabbed first
place, and Wingerter won the 100
freestyle with an even 54 seconds.
The grueling 500 freestyle event
was fought by Marc Levan, who
came in third place. Ackerman
took another fust place, this time
in the 100 breaststroke with a
time of 1:05. Strong swims also
came from Rob McVicker, Tim
Schaefer, Greg Morris and Barb
Dirvin.
The Aquasqauws' medley re-
lay team of Diane Remmel, Kris
Brockman, Betsy Weller, and Beth
2:05.55. Weller swam to first
place in the 100 butterfly with a
time of 1:04.53. The 100 free
brought a first place time of
59.81 to Wingerter, and a second
place to Diane Remmell with a
1:01.5 1. Whitney Winn swam the
500 freestyle for the girls in
8: 10.47, which received a second
place. Another frrst was landed
by Kris Brockman in the 100
breaststroke.
Cobering the diving spectrum
of the Aquateam's meet against
Walnut Hills was Mike Gruber,
taking first. Stacey Labahn came
in second, and Scott Lyon placed
third.
After the victory over Walnut
Hills, the Aquabraves dunked
New Richmond by a score of 16-
36 at New Richmond.

the fact that there are a few more

pretty often," Davis said. "Last
