wrestlers adjust to departure
by Kevin Walzer
Chalk up the departure of
wrestling coach Gary Scotty as
just one more problem that the
wrestlers need to work out be-
fore the "real season" begins in
January.
The resignation of Scotty
stems from a personal decision
on his part to leave the program,
according to athletic director
Carol Wehmann. "I ~eallydon't
think there's more to say than
that," she said. "It was some-
thing he felt he had to do for
the good of the program."
The resignation comes in the
wake of some of the problems
that already plague the team,
among those adjusting to a
new coach and the question of
inexperience. But senior Ken
Slazyk takes it all in stride, sav-
ing that they're 'just things that
happen every year."
"We do have a pretty young
team this year," he said, "but
right now we're all trying to
get back in the groove" of the
season.
Slazyk noted that the phil-
osophy of the wrestling program
Swimmers struggle onward despite problems
by Kevin Walzer
It's a credit to both boys' and
girls' swim teams that they pos-
sess the qualities inherent in any
sport early in the season: opti-
mism, hope, pride. For in the
chronic chaos that plagues IH
swimming every year-a new
coach (yes, a new coach every
year), depletion due tc gradua-
tion, and far-from-burgeoning
numbers- the program goes merri-
ly on.
To wit: the girls' team is
2-0. They have a large and en-
thusiastic group of freshmen.
They return two state qualifiers,
senior Beth Wingerter and soph-
omore Teresa Replogle. Winger-
ter, for her part, is happy.
"I think the girls' team is
okay," she said. 'We're pretty
big-we've got more people than
we did last year. That helps us
win meets because we can fill
more spots.'' As evidenced by
their 2-0 record.
No, it's not the girls' team
that has the major problems. Oh,
they lost some excellent seniors-
most notably Kris Brockmam-
but they are relatively well off.
Especially in comparison to
the boys' team.
The boys' team has been hit

with the resignation of Scotty.
"At this point, we're still

said Slazyk. "I don't think that

After the "preseason"
and the ''regular season" comes
the postseason, which leads u p
to the state meet in Columbus.
Last year Slazyk advanced to the
state meet after he, senior Dave
Kindle, and junior Matt Feltman
advanced to regionals.
Slazyk, for his part, does't
like to be reminded of it. "I hate
it when you're e x ~ e c r e d to
achieve," hc said. ''It creates a
lot of pressure."
Still, he's " optimistic that we
can do well. It's going to take a
lot of senior leadership, especially
now that we're down to one
coach. [Coach] Brater doesn't
have an easy time; because he

Sycamore deals Braves first league loss in OT
by Brian Rowe
The varsity "Battling Braves"
suffered a close 56-54 overtime
loss to Sycamore last Friday night
to make their EHL record 2-1.
In the game the Braves fell
behind early and were down 17-8
in the first quarter. The Syca-
more lead peaked at 11 midway
through the second quarter but
then the Braves began to narrow
the deficit, trailing by only five
at intermission.
In the third quarter Rick Ab-
rams and the Braves went to work
and cut the lead to two, just as
the game entered the fourth quar-
ter.
The lead changed hands sever-
al times in the fourth quarter and
clutch free throws by senior Cur-
tis Ott and Abrams put the Braves
on top late in the game. How-
ever, a late basket by Sycamore
tied up the game, and a lastsec-
ond pass by Ott to Mike Cohen
sailed out of bounds, and over-
time ensued.
However, the Braves' missed
free throws and costly turnovers
allowed Sycamore's Rob Neely
to have a last second shot, which
fell, to give the Aviators a 56-54
victosy.

Abrams sank ten of eleven
free throws in that on en route
to his 26 point performance, and
center Pete Seremetis added 8.
At the moment Abrams is ele-
venth in the city in scoring with a
23-5 average.
Two days earlier the Braves
routed St. Bernard 61-37, in a
game in which all twelve Braves
cracked the scoring column.
The Braves' overall record now
stands at 5-3, ironically all t h e e
losses coming in overtime con-
tests. Of note is the fact that
Abrams is now on a pace to be-
come Indian Hill's all-time
leading scorer, barring injury or
a shooting slump. Atop the
list now are such IH greats as
Gary Freytag, Dan Murphy, and
Scott Rogers.
Tonight the Braves visit Green-

will be if seniors Brian Rowe and

but this year he is truly being

Womack adds all-EHL, all-
citjj, and all-state to his Cincin-
nati Player of the Year honor.
Womack's 34 goals this season
led him to these awards.
"I'm really surprised," he
commented. "I'm hoping for a
scholarship from a university. "
Womack should be receiving his
awards in the near future.
Bishop is excited about his
award, but said that "I was kind
of hoping I would win it."
"It was a surprise, sure, but
it was something I had been look-
ing forward to. I felt I had really
been playing well the last two
years."
Bishop's hopes for a golf
scholarship are more tangible as
he has already received several of-
fers. He is planning to visit James
Madison University and the Un-
iversity of Florida soon, indica-
ting that "I'm really interested in
those two."

in tennis and Mr. Bob West in
golf.
Perhaps the greatest achieve-
ment of the IH fall snorts vro-

Feltman offers food for thought
Dear Students,
We are at a very special time
of the year. In our school we see
the return of recent graduates, the
anticipation of a longawaited va-
cation, and our younger brothers
and sisters excited by what is to
come.
Stores filled with shoppers,
lights on the houses, and messen-
gers of good will abound. The
weather has contributed to that
special feeling of warmth and
cheerfulness which prevails at this
time of the year,
It is the holiday season. For
m e o us, today is the
of Chanukah; for others it is the
day
beginning of the Christmas sea-
son. For all, it is a special feeling
that transcends boundaries and
unites us in a common feeling of
affection for each other.
It is only right, at this special
time of the year, that we pause
for a moment and ask ourselves
just what it is that we have to be
thankful for. In this special hol-
iday season of holiday glitter and
greeting, each of us should reflect
on the past year and ask what it is
for which we are grateful.
The answer is not always at
our fmgertips; it is not always
clear. We read the headlines in
the newspaper; we listen to voices
from the radio; we watch the t.v.
screen, and what do we see?
We see crime so horrible that
it sickens every decent man and
woman. We see the results of war
and pestilence mirrored in the
honor-stricken faces of its vic-
tims. We see tragedy upon trage-
dy-hunger, poverty, and degrada-
tion. In this far from perfect
world, we see much which causes
us pain and frustration.
Yet, as Abraham Lincoln once
wrote, "I can see how man can
keep his eyes in the mud and con-
clude there is no God but I can-
not see how anyone could turn
his eyes to the heavens on a stany
night and deny the existence. of a
Supreme Being."
Perhaps that is our problem
here; a problem of point of view.
We realize that we have a choice
in our personal perceptions of the
world. We can concentrate on
what is wrong, or we can appreci-
ate what is right. There is much
that is good and worthwhile in
the world.
If we look for it, we find indi-
viduals who give of themselves
in every way. We find people
who risk their own lives to serve
CHIEFTAIN
others.
We fmd people who, when
tragedy strikes, are there to pro-
vide relief and comfort to those
who suffer. We find people who
are there repeatedly when needed
and asked to serve again. Thiswe
can find if we look.
If we look for it, we can find
love conquering hate every day.
We fmd homeless children in the
world, but we also find men and
women with hearts full of love, a
love so large that adoptions of
Cast chosen
by Anna Batsakes
The cast for the 1985 Pow-

announced yesterday by director
Henry Henley.
Senior Missy Milligan and
freshman John Dame will star in
the musical as two young lovers,
Polly and Tony.
The musical takes place on the
French Riiera at a Wshing
school for proper English ladies
on the eve of a costume ball.
Polly and Tony fall in love, fall
out of love, t h m fall in love again
throughout the course of the
play-
The production is "one bliss-

the love affairs of Tony and Polly,

A "chic" named Loren Lytle,
that's who, and she has something
to say to the world: "I think I
have eaten more this year than I
have in my entire life. . ."
It's no wonder that Loren,
better known as Quasi or Looney
to her friends, loves to eat. As
vice president of FHA (Future
Homemakers of America), she is
almost constantly surrounded by

Bob, who says his ambition is
''to play keyboard for Spinal Tap

The tape, which includes cuts
like ''Spiritual Rip-Off ," "Close

"Bloody Metal," aptly leaves the
warning, "Only listen to this in a

Bob tolerates most modern

Dune is based on the classic Arrakis, also called Dune, which is

science fiction novel of the same
name by Frank Herbert.
The action is set thousands of
years in the future, in which en-
tire planets are ruled by various
noble families, with an emperor
precariously presiding over all.
The Spacing Guild has a monopo-
ly on space travel and is thus very
important, also.

Acting and action prove enjoyable
by Samuel Green
As someone who had never
heard of Dune becore the movie
came out, I found it to be very
enjoyable. The movie's attributes
range from good acting to con-
stant action.
The one drawback that I ex-
perienced was that I did not know
what was going on half the time,
and therefore was constantly lean-
ing over and asking David

Movie appeases members of 'Dune' cult
by Paul Monach
In my review and in Joel's,
we will present "pro and con"
views of Dune, both from the
points of view of people who
have read the book and found it
excellent.
Generally, I feel the movie is
a good film when you realize that
no fitm under about five hours'

vel. To please a dedicated mem-
ber of the Dune cult, the movie
would have had to lose any com-
mercial potential, and also would
have lost much of the mammoth
$42 million production cost.
Thus, the fitm is a compro-
mise. It has sensational elements
that may please the average "ac-
tion" movie audience, but which
will make any Dune afficionado
cringe. It also has many minor,
unexplained references from the
book thrown in, which the unen-
lightened will fail to understand,
but which should appease the
reader.
From this point on, I am going
to assume that the reader has read
the book. I will make no attempt
to explain any references.
The basic plot line follows the
book without any major, or even

the only source of the "spice,"
and the home of huge sandworms.
Spice lengthens the human life-
span, is essential to the Guilds-
men's ability to navigate space,
and allows the hero to use his
powers; it is hence in tremendous
demand.
Dune becomes the center of
an intricate conspiracy. The Em-
peror, afraid that the fighting
force of House Atreides is getting

about the movie.
The constantly experienced
action (I use the word "experi-
ence" on purpose) kept me on the
edge of my seat.
There was so much going on
that at one point, I became mes-
merized ana was brought out of
it to the shock of realizing that
I was in a movie theatre.
Special effects were another
important part of the movie. The
semi-major, deviation. The Atrei-
des family goes to Arrakis, they
are sabotaged, Paul and Jessica
go to the desert, he rises to leader-
ship of the Fremen, and together
they knock off the Emperor.
Due to time restraints and
concern for the typical viewer's
interest many scenes where only
Making of 'Dune' fated to fail from start
by Joel Ruff
Making a movie of Dune was
an idea fated to fail from the
start. Frank Herbert's universe
created in the novel of the same
name is too camplex and difficult
for video representation, and al-
though the movie makes a titanic
effort, it falls to the same degree.
The acclaimed special effects
are reminiscent of Buck Rogers
(30's vintage). The ornithopters
look like flying milk cartons-
Herbert's were portrayed as some
sort of craft with movable wings
(i.e., rotary-winged)-but those
who created this Dune found it
easier to gloss over this. Other
flying craft look like they are mo-
dels made in someone's basement
and hung against a backdrop.
The worms, surprisingly, are
too effFctive, decides to eliminate
them. His ruse includes giving
Dune to Duke Leto Atreides, re-
placing House Harkonnen, the
Atreides' archenemy and the Em-
peror's ally.
The Emperor and the Harkon-
nens then destroy the Atreides,
by use of a traitor. Leto and
most others are killed, but his
wife, Jessica, and son, Paul, es-
cape to the vast desert.
Paul and his mother are accep-
only effects I did not like were
the sandwo-ms. They looked too
much like trick photography,
rather than huge "400 meter
worms ''
Other than that, the space-
ships and everything else seemed
natural. Natural in the sense that
the movie is not outdone by the
effects.
The acting was very believable.

talking is done are eliminated;
however, no important point is
blatantly left out, but instead re-
lated through another channel, or
condensed into another scene.
Most problems arise with the
interpretation of the book in the
movie. The importance of water
conservation to the Fremen is un-
pretty good; that is, good when
they don't arch out of the sand so
the viewer can tell they are mo-
dels. The space scenes overall are
the best special effects. They are
dark, loud, and detailed: every-
thing the final frontier should be.
On the desert planet, the
scenes of sh.ifting oceans of sand
are spectacular. When filmed
against the real desert, the movie
is realistic, visually beautiful, and
interesting, yet when the Fremen
are superimposed against any
backdrop-for example, when
they ride Shai-huhd-the movie
reminds one of Land of the Lost,
complete with "halos" around the
actors.
The movie tries to make all
kinds of mystic statements regard-
ing the spice. First of 'all, most
ted into the Fremen, a group of
desert people who are abused and
also fatally underestimated by the
Harkonnens, and who are excel-
lent fighters; Paul also begins to
realize his superhuman powers of
prescience (foreseeing various
possibilities for the future) and
leadership.
Paul then proceeds to attempt
to avenge his father, win back the
planet, and liberate the Fremen
as their virtual "Messiah."
And when the "good guys'' won a

looks like a sea monkey, "folds

'Well, Irene, who are you to-

member one morning in the mid-
die of the hall. 'qym Mr. Nellis,"
she responded. The staff member
seemed to understand. I was be-
wadered. She didn't look like Mr.
Nellis, but such is the life of sub-
stitute Irene Stratton.
Usually this c o l m n is reserved
for teachers, but the face of Mrs.
Stratton is so familiar to the stu-
dents here that this feature is long
overdue. After all, she has been
here eight years.
Even before those eight years
here, she taught elsewhere. She
began as a permanent teacher of
American History and English at
South High School in Grand Rap-
ids, Michigan. As a point of inter-
est, South is ex-President Gerald

Later on, Stratton started sub-

"the girls were all at home." Sub-

at home when needed, but still

Genert looks forward to new 'security measures'

Cameras would be placed in
strategic locations such as hall-

Audio surveillance will be used
randomly throughout the building
via the intercom system. This will
be concentrated heavily in the
math section, where it is rumored
that Mr. Wessinger and Mr. Swish-
er have been selling beer and mar-
ijuana cigarettes.
Other measures include a dog
trained to sniff for controlled sub-
stances. This part of the program
has been code-named "Operation
Mad Dog."
Gellert states, 'The dog wiU

It will be used to check the vaxi-
ous plants in the building, such as
those in Mrs. Ackley's room,
which I've long been suspicious
of. Of course, the studentgarden
will also be checked closely so as
to avoid such despicable gcts as
the last." (Price Hill, illegitimate
sister of the infamous Warren, was
recently caught planting marijua-

'We will do anything in our

remarks Gellert. 'We reserve the

scribes her as "a sub that expects

up leaving notes about how bad

the kids, takes over the class, and
gives a sense of continuity to the
program ."
m e n asked to explain her
techniques on controlling a class
(or quelling a potential riot), she
admits, 'There has to be some or-
ganized confusion. I like a quiet

know me-they know I'm not
afraid to give detentions."
Her preference toward subbing

opposed to Ottawa. Upon being
questioned why she so dislikes the

eventually worked herself into a
frenzy. "I am not fond of the

minedly.
Student reacti~n has been
mixed. Senior Sam Green is op-
timistic about the new measures,
feeling that they will "help mold
weak minds" Green comments,
"The surveillancein the restrooms
will help me and others to resist
the temptation to do drugs,
pick my nostrils, squeeze pim-
ples, or any other unworthy act.
I know that Mrs. Smith will be
watching if I ever need help."
Green also eagerly volunteered to
help with the monitoring of other
students.
Other students have not been
as supportive. Senior Warren Hill
muttered in protest, "Gotta wag
my tail, it ain't beat, just ain't
beat.'' When asked about the sur-
veillance cameras, Hill said he
might survive the hallway cam-
eras, but would facilitate himself
in the woods before using the
restrooms
Hill has organized a candle-
light vigil in protest outside of
Gary Gellert's home in Indiana,
tonight. All of those interested
are welcome to attend.
The new measures will be ef-
fective as soon as Winston Indus-
tries installs the new equipment,
probably sometime before 1984
ends.

movie review
Sequel answers 2001's en igmatic
by David Cook and Joel Ruff
2010 is a movie that every as-
piring star child should view. The
movie is an artful mixture of deep
meaning and flashy special ef-
fects, fulfilling both the aesthetic
and high technology requirements
of good science fiction. Like the
cult classic 2001: A Space Odys-
sey, 201 0 is an epic frlm that does
not deal wholly in the petty af-
fairs of mortals.
The plots of 2001 and 2010
revolve around a large, black, per-
fectly formed monolith disco-
vered underground on the moon
and its even more massive coun-
terpart located between Jupiter
and her closest moon 10.
In 2001 astronauts David
Bowman and Frank Poole, along
with their computerized mission
coordinator, Hal 9800, travel to
Jupiter in the spaceship Discovery
to investigate "Zagadka" (Russian
for "enigma"), as the large slab is
later named. For unexplained
reasons, Hal becomes maniacal,
kills Poole, and attempts to suffo-
cate Bowman, who finally suc-
ceeds in "unplugging" the dis-
turbed machine.
Bowman eventually reaches
the monolith, goes out in a pod to
take a closer look, and inexplicab-
ly disappears, his last puzzling
words being: "My God! It's full
of stars!"
He was obviously not talking
about the cast list of the sequel,
Wyandot may be sold, but memories not forgott'en
What do you think about the
selling of Wyandot?
Mark Salley - I think it really
sucks because it's a cool-looking
Stephanie Hug - I don't want
them to sell it. I loved that
school before they closed the
Eric Dahl - I don't know. I
don't think we have any room
Mr. Gary Gellert - I think if the
enrollment continues to decline,
it's a good idea to sell it. How-
ever, if I lived in Kenwood, my
response might be different.
CHIEFTAIN
but 2010 nevertheless comes
across as a very believable follow-
up to the 60's classic, satisfying
viewers' demands to know the
monolith's purpose, the reason
for Hal's condition, and other
answers not revealed in 2001.
In the slightly contrived open-
ing scene of 2010, Dr. Heywood
Floyd, the director of the ill-fated
Discovery mission, and a Russian
agent pledge to lobby with their
respective governments for a joint
U.S.-Soviet undertaking to reco-
ver Discovery and to further exa-
mine the monolith. In the Soviet
ship Alexei Leonov, five Russians
and three Americans voyage. to
Jupiter and reactivate the Dsco-
very and Hal.
Meanwhile, an ethereal pheno-
menon, presumably Bowman in a
new form, reenters the solar sys-
tem through the monolith and re-
visits old acquaintances on Earth.
On the Leonov, relations be-
tween the two nationalities are
becoming cordial, but back on the
home planet, difficulties are exa-
cerbated by a delicate situation in
Honduras which develops into
diplomatic sanctions between the
U.S. and the U.S.S.R. As a conse-
quence, U.S. crewmen are con-
fined to Discovery except in the
case of an emergency.
As might be expected, such an
exigency occurs-a mysterious, al-

Floyd and a reincarnated but age-

movie review faculty feature

Dune is based on the classic Arrakis, also called Dune, which is

science fiction novel of the same
name by Frank Herbert.
The action is set thousands of
years in the future, in which en-
tire planets are ruled by various
noble families, with an emperor
precariously presiding over all.
The Spacing Guild has a monopo-
ly on space travel and is thus very
important, also.
The central focus of the fitm is

Acting and action prove enjoyable
by Samuel Green
As someone who had never
heard of Dune becore the movie
came out, I found it to be very
enjoyable. The movie's attributes
range from good acting to con-
stant action.
The one drawback that I ex-
perienced was that I did not know
what was going on half the time,
and therefore was constantly lean-
ing over and asking David

Movie appeases members of 'Dune' cult
by Paul Monach
In my review and in Joel's,
we will present "pro and con"
views of Dune, both from the
points of view of people who
have read the book and found it
excellent.
Generally, I feel the movie is
a good film when you realize that
no fitm under about five hours'

vel. To please a dedicated mem-
ber of the Dune cult, the movie
would have had to lose any com-
mercial potential, and also would
have lost much of the mammoth
$42 million production cost.
Thus, the fitm is a compro-
mise. It has sensational elements
that may please the average "ac-
tion" movie audience, but which
will make any Dune afficionado
cringe. It also has many minor,
unexplained references from the
book thrown in, which the unen-
lightened will fail to understand,
but which should appease the
reader.
From this point on, I am going
to assume that the reader has read
the book. I will make no attempt
to explain any references.
The basic plot line follows the
book without any major, or even

the only source of the "spice,"
and the home of huge sandworms.
Spice lengthens the human life-
span, is essential to the Guilds-
men's ability to navigate space,
and allows the hero to use his
powers; it is hence in tremendous
demand.
Dune becomes the center of
an intricate conspiracy. The Em-
peror, afraid that the fighting
force of House Atreides is getting

about the movie.
The constantly experienced
action (I use the word "experi-
ence" on purpose) kept me on the
edge of my seat.
There was so much going on
that at one point, I became mes-
merized ana was brought out of
it to the shock of realizing that
I was in a movie theatre.
Special effects were another
important part of the movie. The
semi-major, deviation. The Atrei-
des family goes to Arrakis, they
are sabotaged, Paul and Jessica
go to the desert, he rises to leader-
ship of the Fremen, and together
they knock off the Emperor.
Due to time restraints and
concern for the typical viewer's
interest many scenes where only
Making of 'Dune' fated to fail from start
by Joel Ruff
Making a movie of Dune was
an idea fated to fail from the
start. Frank Herbert's universe
created in the novel of the same
name is too camplex and difficult
for video representation, and al-
though the movie makes a titanic
effort, it falls to the same degree.
The acclaimed special effects
are reminiscent of Buck Rogers
(30's vintage). The ornithopters
look like flying milk cartons-
Herbert's were portrayed as some
sort of craft with movable wings
(i.e., rotary-winged)-but those
who created this Dune found it
easier to gloss over this. Other
flying craft look like they are mo-
dels made in someone's basement
and hung against a backdrop.
The worms, surprisingly, are
too effFctive, decides to eliminate
them. His ruse includes giving
Dune to Duke Leto Atreides, re-
placing House Harkonnen, the
Atreides' archenemy and the Em-
peror's ally.
The Emperor and the Harkon-
nens then destroy the Atreides,
by use of a traitor. Leto and
most others are killed, but his
wife, Jessica, and son, Paul, es-
cape to the vast desert.
Paul and his mother are accep-
only effects I did not like were
the sandwo-ms. They looked too
much like trick photography,
rather than huge "400 meter
worms ''
Other than that, the space-
ships and everything else seemed
natural. Natural in the sense that
the movie is not outdone by the
effects.
The acting was very believable.

talking is done are eliminated;
however, no important point is
blatantly left out, but instead re-
lated through another channel, or
condensed into another scene.
Most problems arise with the
interpretation of the book in the
movie. The importance of water
conservation to the Fremen is un-
pretty good; that is, good when
they don't arch out of the sand so
the viewer can tell they are mo-
dels. The space scenes overall are
the best special effects. They are
dark, loud, and detailed: every-
thing the final frontier should be.
On the desert planet, the
scenes of sh.ifting oceans of sand
are spectacular. When filmed
against the real desert, the movie
is realistic, visually beautiful, and
interesting, yet when the Fremen
are superimposed against any
backdrop-for example, when
they ride Shai-huhd-the movie
reminds one of Land of the Lost,
complete with "halos" around the
actors.
The movie tries to make all
kinds of mystic statements regard-
ing the spice. First of 'all, most
ted into the Fremen, a group of
desert people who are abused and
also fatally underestimated by the
Harkonnens, and who are excel-
lent fighters; Paul also begins to
realize his superhuman powers of
prescience (foreseeing various
possibilities for the future) and
leadership.
Paul then proceeds to attempt
to avenge his father, win back the
planet, and liberate the Fremen
as their virtual "Messiah."
And when the "good guys'' won a

allusions to the Torah (Old Test-
ament). The allusion is primarily
to the coming of the "Savior."
In conclusion, I recommend
seeing Dune, especially if you
have not read the book, because
that way, you will not be whining
about the details included in the
book, which have been left out or
changed in the movie version.
Dune is a fast, exciting movie,

people didn't understand the sig-
nificance of the spice, and second,
the drug-induced scenes were hok-
ey and fiUed with glitzy special
effects.
The idea is more important
than the showing; Dune should
have left the audience to imagine
for themselves these trips.
The scene with the third-stage
Guildsman who floats in spice es-
sence is_a good example of this;
the Guildsman, who incidentally
looks like a sea monkey, "folds
space" via a l l sorts of flashing
light, floating planets, and uni-
dentified machinery. The whole
scene was rather unnecessary and
succeeded only in eliciting some
laughter from the audience.

'Well, Irene, who are you to-

overdue. After all, she has been

"security measures to aid in the

Cameras would be placed in
strategic locations such as hall-

monitored by Mrs. Smith and

able of resisting certain tempta-

rooms, where they think they are

problem ."
Audio surveillance will be used
randomly throughout the building
via the intercom system. This will
be concentrated heavily in the
math section, where it is rumored
that Mr. Wessinger and Mr. Swish-
er have been selling beer and mar-
ijuana cigarettes.
Other measures include a dog
trained to sniff for controlled sub-
stances. This part of the program
has been code-named "Operation
Mad Dog."
Gellert states, 'The dog wiU
prove useful for many situations.
It will be used to check the vaxi-
ous plants in the building, such as
those in Mrs. Ackley's room,
which I've long been suspicious
of. Of course, the studentgarden
will also be checked closely so as
to avoid such despicable gcts as
the last." (Price Hill, illegitimate
sister of the infamous Warren, was
recently caught planting marijua-
na in the garden).
'We will do anything in our
power to carry out our mission,"
remarks Gellert. 'We reserve the
right and will exercise the right to
carry out locker searches, breath-
tices it. Teacher Tom Norman d e
scribes her as "a sub that expects
to come in to work. A lot of subs
come prepared to babysit and end
up leaving notes about how bad
your kids were. Stratton knows
the kids, takes over the class, and
gives a sense of continuity to the
program ."
m e n asked to explain her
techniques on controlling a class
(or quelling a potential riot), she
admits, 'There has to be some or-
ganized confusion. I like a quiet
room. I know the kids, and they
know me-they know I'm not
afraid to give detentions."
Her preference toward subbing
is definitely at the high school, as
opposed to Ottawa. Upon being
questioned why she so dislikes the
little ones, she started slowly, but
eventually worked herself into a
frenzy. "I am not fond of the
knee-biters. You have to control
everything over there: 'Can I
sharpen my pencil? Can I go to

alyzer tests, exorcisms, and strip
searches," Gellert added deter-
minedly.
Student reacti~n has been
mixed. Senior Sam Green is op-
timistic about the new measures,
feeling that they will "help mold
weak minds" Green comments,
"The surveillancein the restrooms
will help me and others to resist
the temptation to do drugs,
pick my nostrils, squeeze pim-
ples, or any other unworthy act.
I know that Mrs. Smith will be
watching if I ever need help."
Green also eagerly volunteered to
help with the monitoring of other
students.
Other students have not been
as supportive. Senior Warren Hill
muttered in protest, "Gotta wag
my tail, it ain't beat, just ain't
beat.'' When asked about the sur-
veillance cameras, Hill said he
might survive the hallway cam-
eras, but would facilitate himself
in the woods before using the
restrooms
Hill has organized a candle-
light vigil in protest outside of
Gary Gellert's home in Indiana,
tonight. All of those interested
are welcome to attend.
The new measures will be ef-
fective as soon as Winston Indus-
tries installs the new equipment,
probably sometime before 1984
ends.

It's no wonder that Loren,

Sycamore deals Braves first league loss in OT
by Brian Rowe
The varsity "Battling Braves"
suffered a close 56-54 overtime
loss to Sycamore last Friday night
to make their EHL record 2-1.
In the game the Braves fell
behind early and were down 17-8
in the first quarter. The Syca-
more lead peaked at 11 midway
through the second quarter but
then the Braves began to narrow
the deficit, trailing by only five
at intermission.
In the third quarter Rick Ab-
rams and the Braves went to work
and cut the lead to two, just as
the game entered the fourth quar-
ter.
The lead changed hands sever-
al times in the fourth quarter and
clutch free throws by senior Cur-
tis Ott and Abrams put the Braves
on top late in the game. How-
ever, a late basket by Sycamore
tied up the game, and a lastsec-
ond pass by Ott to Mike Cohen
sailed out of bounds, and over-
time ensued.
However, the Braves' missed
free throws and costly turnovers
allowed Sycamore's Rob Neely
to have a last second shot, which
fell, to give the Aviators a 56-54
victosy.

Abrams sank ten of eleven
free throws in that on en route
to his 26 point performance, and
center Pete Seremetis added 8.
At the moment Abrams is ele-
venth in the city in scoring with a
23-5 average.
Two days earlier the Braves
routed St. Bernard 61-37, in a
game in which all twelve Braves
cracked the scoring column.
The Braves' overall record now
stands at 5-3, ironically all t h e e
losses coming in overtime con-
tests. Of note is the fact that
Abrams is now on a pace to be-
come Indian Hill's all-time
leading scorer, barring injury or
a shooting slump. Atop the
list now are such IH greats as
Gary Freytag, Dan Murphy, and
Scott Rogers.
Tonight the Braves visit Green-
hills to play the seventh-ranked
Pioneers. The key to the game
will be if seniors Brian Rowe and
Mike Wentz can keep 6'4" shoot-
ing guard Joe Fredrich in check,
who owns a 26.6 scoring average
and a blistering 75.3 field goal
percentage.

Heading the list were the play-

Womack adds all-EHL, all-

nati Player of the Year honor.
Womack's 34 goals this season
led him to these awards.
"I'm really surprised," he
commented. "I'm hoping for a
scholarship from a university. "
Womack should be receiving his
awards in the near future.
Bishop is excited about his
award, but said that "I was kind
of hoping I would win it."
"It was a surprise, sure, but
it was something I had been look-

been playing well the last two
years."
Bishop's hopes for a golf
scholarship are more tangible as
he has already received several of-
fers. He is planning to visit James
Madison University and the Un-
iversity of Florida soon, indica-
ting that "I'm really interested in
those two."
Barton's plans are far from set,
as she still has a few years before

Feltman offers food for thought
Dear Students,
We are at a very special time
of the year. In our school we see
the return of recent graduates, the
anticipation of a longawaited va-
cation, and our younger brothers
and sisters excited by what is to
come.
Stores filled with shoppers,
lights on the houses, and messen-
gers of good will abound. The
weather has contributed to that
special feeling of warmth and
cheerfulness which prevails at this
time of the year,
It is the holiday season. For
m e o us, today is the
of Chanukah; for others it is the
day
beginning of the Christmas sea-
son. For all, it is a special feeling
that transcends boundaries and
unites us in a common feeling of
affection for each other.
It is only right, at this special
time of the year, that we pause
for a moment and ask ourselves
just what it is that we have to be
thankful for. In this special hol-
iday season of holiday glitter and
greeting, each of us should reflect
on the past year and ask what it is
for which we are grateful.
The answer is not always at
our fmgertips; it is not always
clear. We read the headlines in
the newspaper; we listen to voices
from the radio; we watch the t.v.
screen, and what do we see?
We see crime so horrible that
it sickens every decent man and
woman. We see the results of war
and pestilence mirrored in the
honor-stricken faces of its vic-
tims. We see tragedy upon trage-
dy-hunger, poverty, and degrada-
tion. In this far from perfect
world, we see much which causes
us pain and frustration.
Yet, as Abraham Lincoln once
wrote, "I can see how man can
keep his eyes in the mud and con-
clude there is no God but I can-
not see how anyone could turn
his eyes to the heavens on a stany
night and deny the existence. of a
Supreme Being."
Perhaps that is our problem
here; a problem of point of view.
We realize that we have a choice
in our personal perceptions of the
world. We can concentrate on
what is wrong, or we can appreci-
ate what is right. There is much
that is good and worthwhile in
the world.
If we look for it, we find indi-
viduals who give of themselves
in every way. We find people
who risk their own lives to serve
CHIEFTAIN
others.
We fmd people who, when
tragedy strikes, are there to pro-
vide relief and comfort to those
who suffer. We find people who
are there repeatedly when needed
and asked to serve again. Thiswe
can find if we look.
If we look for it, we can find
love conquering hate every day.
We fmd homeless children in the
world, but we also find men and
women with hearts full of love, a
love so large that adoptions of
Cast chosen
by Anna Batsakes
The cast for the 1985 Pow-
wow musical, The Boyfiend, was
announced yesterday by director
Henry Henley.
Senior Missy Milligan and
freshman John Dame will star in
the musical as two young lovers,
Polly and Tony.
The musical takes place on the
French Riiera at a Wshing
school for proper English ladies
on the eve of a costume ball.
Polly and Tony fall in love, fall
out of love, t h m fall in love again
throughout the course of the
play-
The production is "one bliss-
ful orgy of whoopie making."
Not only does the plot focus on
the love affairs of Tony and Polly,
it also dwells on Lord Brock-

wrestlers adjust to departure
by Kevin Walzer
Chalk up the departure of
wrestling coach Gary Scotty as
just one more problem that the
wrestlers need to work out be-
fore the "real season" begins in
January.
The resignation of Scotty
stems from a personal decision
on his part to leave the program,
according to athletic director
Carol Wehmann. "I ~eallydon't
think there's more to say than
that," she said. "It was some-
thing he felt he had to do for
the good of the program."
The resignation comes in the
wake of some of the problems
that already plague the team,
among those adjusting to a
new coach and the question of
inexperience. But senior Ken
Slazyk takes it all in stride, sav-
ing that they're 'just things that
happen every year."
"We do have a pretty young
team this year," he said, "but
right now we're all trying to
get back in the groove" of the
season.
Slazyk noted that the phil-
osophy of the wrestling program
Swimmers struggle onward despite problems
by Kevin Walzer
It's a credit to both boys' and
girls' swim teams that they pos-
sess the qualities inherent in any
sport early in the season: opti-
mism, hope, pride. For in the
chronic chaos that plagues IH
swimming every year-a new
coach (yes, a new coach every
year), depletion due tc gradua-
tion, and far-from-burgeoning
numbers- the program goes merri-
ly on.
To wit: the girls' team is
2-0. They have a large and en-
thusiastic group of freshmen.
They return two state qualifiers,
senior Beth Wingerter and soph-
omore Teresa Replogle. Winger-
ter, for her part, is happy.
"I think the girls' team is
okay," she said. 'We're pretty
big-we've got more people than
we did last year. That helps us
win meets because we can fill
more spots.'' As evidenced by
their 2-0 record.
No, it's not the girls' team
that has the major problems. Oh,
they lost some excellent seniors-
most notably Kris Brockmam-
but they are relatively well off.

This "pmseason" also involves
getting used t o the new coaching
staff, down t o just Ken Brater
with the resignation of Scotty.
"At this point, we're still
getting- used t o the new coach,"
said Slazyk. "I don't think that
[Scotty's] leaving is going to hurt
us that much; it wasn't like he
had coached here for years. 1
barely knew him myself."
After the "preseason"
and the ''regular season" comes
the postseason, which leads u p
to the state meet in Columbus.
Last year Slazyk advanced to the
state meet after he, senior Dave
Kindle, and junior Matt Feltman
advanced to regionals.
Slazyk, for his part, does't
like to be reminded of it. "I hate
it when you're e x ~ e c r e d to
achieve," hc said. ''It creates a
lot of pressure."
Still, he's " optimistic that we
can do well. It's going to take a
lot of senior leadership, especially
now that we're down to one
coach. [Coach] Brater doesn't
have an easy time; because he
teaches out at Harrison he has
problems just getting out here.
We're going to have to make it
easier for him."

But she hopes Preston is here
to stay. "He's probably the
best," she said. 'The other ones
we've had weren't that great."

Juniors Kevin Walzer and Tina
Espy have had their writing pu-
blished in the Seven Hills Re-

ting by students in the Cincinnati
area. The two IHers wrote poems
which were included in the Fall
1984 issue.
Both Walzer and Espy are stu-
dents in Mr. Robert West's crea-
tive writing class. "He encou-
raged us t o send in our writing,"
said Walzer, "so I took the initi-
ative and sent mine in."
Walzer's poem, entitled
"Changes", reiterated the changes
going on in his life recently. "I
feel it's one of the best poems I've
ever written," h e said. 'When I
found out it was going t o be pu-
blished, it made m y day."

This has been the second year
in a row that IH students have
had writings published in the

and junior Beth Lindner had
works included in the review.
West was pleased with this
year's publication. "I'm really
happy for Tina and Kevin," he
said, "and I encourage more peo-
ple to seek publication. No mat-
