Deer Park dominated the game on the strength of excellent out-

side shooting. The Braves' biggest lead in the game was one point

during the middle of the third

quarter . The game started roughly for

the Braves, as both teams' de- fenses made mistakes. The

Braves' offense started having

execution problems and Deer Park bolted out to a 26-21 half-

time lead.

After surviving mild threats

for the lead in the third quarter,

Deer Park had established a 3

point lead with 1 minute left in

points. The team continued their solid

play in the fourth quarter, to

maintain their previously established lead to win 5543.

Leading scorers for the J.V.

Braves were Dave Hancher with

nineteen points, Terry Healey

with fourteen points and Pete

to clinch the 61-58 victory.

Playing before an unbelieve- ably rowdy crowd, the Braves

established an early lead. By the end of the first quarter, the

Braves led by six. As the game progressed, how-

ever, the team ran into trouble.

Due to sloppy playing, the

Braves gave up their lead, leav-

The Indian Hill "It's Aca-

demic" team staged a come-from- behind win over St. Ursuline and

Lloyd Memorial Sunday after-

noon with respective scores of

610,270, and 200. The win placed IH's trio of

Greg Troutman, David Johnson

and Gary Freytag into the serni-

finals -just two wins away from a

possible city championship.

Indian Hill was down by sixty a

points to Ursuline after the fust

round, only to make up the dif-

ference by answering a l l but one

of the category questions (Greg,

Dave and Gary will now, no

doubt, remember that blue is the

color suggested by loyalty).

IH furthered its lead in the

packet and grab bag rounds,

dominating all late rounds.

Spurred on by the cheering of

spectators and the pep band, the

trio finished with the extremely

high score of 610. Considering

that the average winner's score is

about 450, this score and the last

taping's score of 650 are terrific

accomplishments.

Sunday's taping had an in- formal air uncommon to most

"It's Academic" matches. The utter confidence of IH seemed- to

ridicule the other teams, espe-

cially when David ,Johnson

answered a passed math question

with an almost mocking "Four." Twice team members disagreed on '

answers, shouting out different

answers at the same time, but both times finally agreeing on the

correct answer. The laughs of

- the Ursuline fans at this confi-

dence gradually faded into silence

as IH widened its lead.

This confidence may have

caused the team to get a bit cocky

a t times, particularly when they

answered the last question with a

joking, "Dred Scott." This may

need explaining: Dred Scott, the

plaintiff in the famous slave trial

of the 1 8 0 0 ' ~ ~ has become the

answer to every question that no

one knew in practice.

"We always used to say jackass

answers in practice," said Dave,

but until now, "Dred Scott" had

stayed in room 206.

CHIEFTAIN February 29, 1980

In this year's Chieftain Issue No.4, staffers polled

the student body to ascertain student attitudes toward

student leaders in Student Government. In that poll, only seven percent of the student population felt that

the prupose of SG was "to be a source of intellectual

discus~ion ." Perhaps the reason for the marginal number comes

from a general misunderstanding of the term "intel-

lectual discussion."- But, in an ideal situation, the

word "intellectual" should catch the eye of every

true student.

In an academic environment, which a school sup-

posedly maintains, the prime concerns of student lead-

ers should be student concerns - intellectual concerns.

The question that any Student Government eval-

A lot needs to be done in this school to promote

individuality. For instance, SG could attempt to sal-

vage the literary magazine from financial problems

by sponsoring student creative writers. SG could also hold student debates on student social issues - the draft

isn't such a small concern, you know.

These are just two simple suggestions that take up a few lines in a Chieftain editorial. There are many

more that could be suggested. SG programs don't have to provide for the entire student body - they can

apply to only a few students too. But SG members need to remember that a culturally healthy student

body maintains a dynamic character, and that, after

all, SG is the assembly that must lead students in the

search for individuality.

uation includes pertains to how well SG addresses the

concerns of students. What, then, really are the con-

cerns of students? 6845 Drake Road

In the past SG has equated student concerns with

activities and repeatedly preached the trite slogan,

Cincinnati, Ohio 45243

Vol. 29, No. 11

February 29, 1980 '

ww "Get involved." But, do most students spend most of their day worrying about the girls' varsity basketball game next Thursday or the next session of Travel

Club ? The answer is an obvious "no" Students spend most

of their time learning - probably not in class either,

but about each other - about the differences we per-

ceive< in each other and how they pertain to ourselves.

These differences are the true student concerns, and

whether or not most of us are willing to admit it,

these differences provide the basis for any "real intel-

lectuality" that exists in a "public academic institu-

tion" such as ours. Then, how should SG seek to address these student

concerns? First of all, student leaders should keep in

mind the simple fact that intellectuality thrives on

individuality. With that idea in mind, SG leaders should seek to cultivate ,individuality in the student

community . Over the past two years, such efforts have succeed-

ed. Last Year's SG-sponsored Peer Counseling Qrogram received a great response and so did the recent SG

sponsored Thespian Theater 100 Forum. But the

point is that if such actions are really going to have

an impact on student life, the "individuality policy"

must be constant. This constancy can't come from great SG achieve-

ments like taping up that silly monthly activities cal-

endar that falls down every time the weather changes.

The Class Cabinet program doesn't contribute to indi-

viduality that much either, because it tends to favor

~pecific groups.

Soy fertilizer to solve US oreign prob by Rod Barr

A few days ago, I received an

advertising letter from a presi-

dential hopeful. It contained

some ideas that I think merit

some real thought. It read as

follows:

1. Iran - I feel the solution to the

Iranian crisis lies in one major area. That area is the effective

development of soy fertilizer

against Iran. If each marine

were equipped with a 5-pound bag of soy fertilizer, he could

storm Tehran, spread the ferti-

lizer on the ground, and, in

only a few short months, they would have a beautiful bush

garden to hide and protect

him from the Iranians. They

could then sneak up under

cover of the green foliage, to the embassy, where they

would free the hostages.

thinking on ways to bring it down. The best way to fight

inflation would be for each American to buy a 10 or 15

pound bag of soy fertilizer. This would allow them to

grow beautiful gardens r/i. vegetables, thus cutting down

unnecessary vegetable spen-

ding. You're probaw asking, ,

''Will this bring inflation

down?" Of course it will!.

The decrease of dependence

on foreign countries for our

vegetables would raise the

GNP of our country incredi-

bly. And the solution is so

simple.

most startling military action

since Pearl Harbor. It is a very

touchy situation, and should be handled as such. If Ameri-

ca supplied the Afghan rebels with 50-pound bags of soy fer-

tilizer, they could hold out

against, and possibly even defeat, the Soviet forces. By

piling the ! bags of fertilizer on top of each other, an effec-

tive barricade can be erected, protecting the rebels from a l l

types of Soviet military de-

vices. Inside the barricade, the fertilizer could be used for a

beautiful green veg6table gar-

den which could sustain the

Afghans for months.

Most people, when thinking of

modeling, get images of beauti-

ful, slender, females living @a-

morous lives in L.A. or New

York. Yet, if this were the case,

Indian Hill would have lost several

beautiful, slender, females t o such

cities already. While most

students don't even begin to think

of employment until summer

vacation rolls around, a few IH

girls work all seasons as models.

Granted, for teenage girls,

modeling isn't quite as glamorous

as it is for their coast counter- parts, but it does provide a fun

job as well as exciting possibili-

ties for the future. Girls interest-

ed in modeling have basically two

choices open to them. They can

either work through an agency,

such as John Robert Powers, as

Liz Woodhouse did for several

years, or they can go free-lance, as

girls like Sue Bradfield and Lette

, Andre have done.

Many girls get started through department store teen boards,,

like Shillito's or Pogue's Junior

Board. Each year, boards take

applications from numerous

hopeful future models. Those

who are accepted have the chance

to model for the department store

the following year. The work is

somewhat limited and consists

almost entirely of fashion shows.

The pay isn't the best, and the

girls can't model anywhere else,'

but the work provides good

experience. Junior Phyllis

Burnstein and senior Angie Martin

are two that have worked with

the department store boards.

Many girls go free-lance after

having worked on a team board

for several years. Models who

work free-lance don't have such

steady employment, but they

have more freedom. Since they

must apply for each job, they

can schedule them to fit their

own needs. For example, many

of Lette Andre's jobs have been

working in nearby shops in lunch

hour fashion shows. But, because

the work is not always steady, she

has found Limelight to be a big

help.

Limelight is something like a

computer dating service for

models. It keeps a portfolio on

each girl, and when someone

needs a model with certain quali-

fications, it brings the two to-

Dear American,

The following is an outline of what my approach to certain is-

ever, let me make it perfectly

clear that I have no vested inter- ests in any sort of business ven-

ture, nor will I if I am elected

president. My sole purpose in

being president will be to improve

our country, not to receive personal gains of any type.

are very real and disturbing. I see only one plausible solu-

tion. We should arm every B-52 plane with 1000

500-pound bags of soy ferti-

lizer each, to be dropped on

the entire Soviet Union.

These heavy bags would crush

everything in their paths,

wiping out the entire Soviet population. A big plus to this

action is that Russia has no

effective anti-fertilizer equip-

ment. And, in addition, when

the American forces move into

Russia after the attack, they

will have 8,200,000 square miles of lush vegetable garden

awaiting them.

Foreign language enrollment declines in US by Leslie Megison

In 1915, 85% of all American

colleges required prior instruction

in a foreign language for admis-

sion. Since then, that percentage

has nosedived past 34% in 1966 to a pitiful 8% today.

Consequently, the national

quota of high school students

who study a foreign language

has also plummeted. After a recent detailed study, the US

President's Commission on For-

eign Language and International Studies has concluded in its re-

port released last November that

the resulting lack of Americans'

familiarity with foreign tongues and cultures poses a threat to

national security and US international trade.

Most !American high school students know they probably

won't need a foreign language for

admission to the college or uni-

versity of their choice. Pre- dictably, only 15% of them elect

to take language or cultural cours-

es, and significantly fewer con-

tinue their studies after the

second year, barely tasting the

fundamentals.

Comparitively few students

who decide on a business career

ever take such instruction; and

this is obviously a handicap in an

age where one out of every eight

jobs in agriculture and one

out of every 5 jobs in industry

is stongly related to internation-

al trade. The Foreign Senrice has had to drop its language

requirement for recruits to keep

from shortchanging itself of po-

tentially capable people. Has IH followed the national

trend in radically .decreasing foreign language enrollment? "Not

really," comments Mrs. Wund, an IH French teacher.

"We've [the foreign language department] lost as many kids as any other department." She

feels that the decrease has been

proportional to the shrinking

sizes of incoming classes. M still has a moderate percent-

age of students taking a foreign

language because some of them

are influenced by the myth that

they have to have i t to graduate,

according to Mrs. Wund.

Generally, students who have

older siblings who took a for-

eign language are more likely to take the same one. Spanish seems

to be more popular in the ear-

lier stages, though more students stay with French all the way to

the AP (advanced placement)

level.

Altough Latin and German courses have been pared down to

mainly the beginning levels, the

foreign language department has been enriched by IH's recent

Underclassmen run amok during scheduling entranceintointernat ionalex- changes. These exchanges, which

by Matt Misali Ah, scheduling! It's that time

of the year again. It's almost

as much fun as doing your income taxes, isn't it? It's kind of sad- istic (another word to look up, freshmen) of the administration

to make you choose your own courses for the next year.

Scheduling is alot like telling

a condemned man that he is for- tunate enough to be able to pick his own means of execution.

I have discovered another sig-

nificant advantage of being a senior. I won't get an ulcer

worrying over scheduling because . I don't have to do it.

It's just great sitting back and

watching all the underclassmen

run amok. I find it especially

satisfying watching the freshmen go into a vicious frenzy

trying to get in the same classes with all of their friends, and ask-

ing more experienced sophomores

and juniors things like, "Is this OK?", and, "Is English very

important, or should I drop it?"

But I guess the underclassmen

have a right to be like that, be-

cause they have to go through

alot of misery. One of their main problems is the order the

homerooms go in to be scheduled. Being first is Heaven on

Earth, while being last automatic-

ally makes the schedule you've worked on completely impossible.

Do any of you seniors remember how religious we used to get

around this time? You know, praying every day for your home-

room to be one of the first three

to be scheduled? I remember last

year I got so carried away I vowed that if mine were first, I would

become the valedictorian. Need- less to say my prayers went

unanswered. My homeroon pulled sixth, so I decided to let

someone else become valedictor-

ian. That's quite an unselfish gesture on my part.

Another problem is trying to

figure out a schedule that works. You think you have it all worked

out and you begin to congratu-

late yourself on your obvious genius. But you find out that

the quarter course you've been dying to take, (Russian De-

mocracy of the Twentieth Century) is only available for

third quarter and not fourth.

You pull your hair out trying to

set it right. Then when you go down to the scheduling arean, the person at the course's table

tells you, "I'm sorry, that course

is filled."

Well, we seniors have had our

share of hardships. If you students who have to schedule need

any help, just ask a senior for

some. But if I were you I really wouldn't trust one, because you might frind yourself in a class you

don't want, like being enrolled

in girls' PE although you are a

boy.

have been fairly successful so far,

provide a unique and enlighten-

ing experience for the interested

language student who wishes to

learn more than just how to con- jugate verbs in eight different

tenses.

For the students beginning

foreign language courses, Mrs.

Wund would like t o see a pre-

course English reveiw to brush

up on basic grammar in one

language before studying another.

If the chore of relearning English

structural rules at the same time .as learning those in another lan-

guage were relieved, Mrs. Wund

feels that perhaps more stu-

dents would be interested in con-

tinuing on to higher levels.

Model UN returns f rom G-town G.A. by Greg Troutman

IH's Model U.N. Club returned from the 17th annual George-

town United Nation simulation on Monday after representing the country of Guyana. Nine

club members and Mr. Nellis

spent five days at the conference

which was designed to simulate the actual United Nations with

typical resolutions.

Each morning, IH delegates awoke to a quick continental

breakfast and drank enough cof-

fee to survive the morning's

meeting. Meetings began at 9:30

a.m. and lasted until 12:15 at

night. The meetings were center-

ed in a debate between over a

hundred delegations on such

topics as transnational corpora

tions, terrorism and the peaceful

uses of outer space.

Most of the time, delegates

were divided into specialized

committees such as the political

and security committee, the

social and humanitarian committee and the economic and

financial committee.

All resolutions that passed committee were then sent to the

General Assembly Plenary in which members from all commit-

tees participated. Rules for debate originated from Robert's

Rules of Order and the U.N.

rules of parliamentary procedure. The high. points of Plenary

occurred when Cuba, a delegation

from Shaker Heights, Ohio, was

kicked out for voting twice.

During the course of the conference, delegates were expos-

ed to a variety of speakers.

Among these were the Under-

secretary General of Political

Affairs at the United Nations and the Deputy Ambassador to

the United Nations.

Club members spent Sunday afternoon and Monday touring

downtown Washington's Mall

area. On the Mall, they visited

such tourist attractions as the

Smithsonian Institute, Congress,

the National Gallery and the

Hirshhorn Museum.

like the p o s e with whom she

happens to be working, and often

a job just isn't what she expects. For example, several weeks ago,

Vicki did a Wendy's commercial.

She had expected to spend perhaps an hour or two on it, but it

ended up taking till 5:30 in tfee morning-leaving her two hours

to get ready for school. On top of this, she wasn't paid as much

as she had hoped, and it turned out that the commercial would o d y be aired in Texas.

There are other letdowns too.

"Sometimes it hurts when you don't get a job you really want, but you learn to accept it."

Vicki stressed that when a model doesn't get a job, it probably isn't

her fault. The model usually just isn't what the employer

wants, and there's nothing she can d o about it.

Vicki hopes to keep modeling

for a few years, but she plans to

keep it local. Eventually, she

hopes to get in behind the scenes

for a career. As a model, she has learned a lot about advertising

and stage work, and these are

defmite career possibilities for

her.

. Of course, most high school girls

who model do it only as a

temporary source of income until

they have finished their educa-

tion. But, for some, like Lette

Andre, the experience could be

very valuable. Lette hopes to

major in fashion design at college,

so after graduating, she'll be creat- ing the fashions other models

wear. She feels that it will help her to know the field from both

sides. In any case, modeling isn't

in the future for most of the girls who model now. It is very

limited for all but a few, and

d t e r a point, age restricts the

career even more. But for a few talented girls, it is a great way

t o have fun and mike a little

extra money.

ultimately join or actively par- ticipate in a religious institution. The Reverend Sitterley

feels that "youth groups are in no way in competition with the church." He also feels strongly

that the effectiveness of these groups rests on their spirit and

enthusiasm, and the meaningful

relationships within the group.

The Reverend Sitterly states,

"young people can relate to these

meetings much more easily than

religious services which they feel

are 'boring' or 'out-of-touch.' " One factor determining the

success \of these groups is the

effectiveness of both the adult

and youth leaders. Sitterly says

that adult leadership can either

add or detract from a religious

experience. Father Snyder claims

that adult leadership can have

an impact because, "young people

respect the experiences and testi-

mony of adults." Despite their

influence, the Reverend Sitterly

feels that good youth leadership

can have the most impact. "This kind of positive leadership at-

tracts peers who would otherwise

have no contact with religion.

Are parents influential in

structuring their child's religious development? Rabbi Kirzner,

the Reverend Sitterly, and Father

Snyder all agree that parents are responsible for introducing and

making their children aware of

different beliefs. Father Snyder

feels that awareness of different

religions at a young age allows the

child to have good background of

information upon which the child

may base his opinions. Left on their own, most people won't

start investigating religious pos-

sibilities until the late teens. A sound background of religious

training helps a person decide

what is right for him or her. Although attendance at struc-

tural religious services is down, many young people have turned

to youth groups within both the church and the community.

Others have turned to small Bible

study groups, and some have

turned inward to discover them-

selves. Whatever the trend,

Rabbi Kirzner feels that reli-

gious participation goes in cycles,

and the participation by young

people at religious services will soon be increasing.

Pep assemblies

provide s pi r i t -

even for seniors

by Dave Johson

After last year's vandalism, the

administration and Board of Edu-

cation approached the Student

Government and the Senior Class

officers with a mandate: the

spirit of IH must be improved.

Student Government, led by

Scott Edwards and Julie Schnee- beck, has made numerous con- tributions to the production of

school spirit. According to Scott,

the main thrust of SGYs efforts has been exposing the students

to all the athletic teams, both

boys and girls, and to the music

and drama programs, thus por-

traying the many diversified tal-

ents of IHers.

The Pep Club had trouble

finding a sponsor until recently,

Scott explained. "By using the

Senior Class as a backer, we tried to get everyone interested, especially the new Freshman Class

with our big brother, big sister

program."

Recently, Dr. Feltman offered

to help by sponsoring the Pep

Club, but both Scott and Bob

Heynan (Senior Class Officer)

agree that Pep Club already has

a great number of members.

Bob explained, "We like to

think of aIl the people that come to the games as members of the

Pep Club," and with the recent

help of Mrs. Mashburn and Mrs.

Sudbrack. IHers no have .;heir

own version of the "terrible

towel," red handkerchiefs.

Both Scott and Bob agree that

the administration, particularly

Dr. Feltman and Mr. Aug, has worked extremely will with SG

and the senior class. "Now-

adays," Scott explained, "when we ask for a pep rally, we get

it." Even the seniors with senior

option are staying or coming

back for the pep assemblies.

Both also agree that an under-

lying factor to the increase in

spirit has been the Pep Band. The addition of special features,

such as a drum synthesizer,

esectric guitars (courtesy of Andy

Keefer), and even a whistler

(Brad Taylor) has helped evoke

spirit at the home basketball

games and pep assemblies.

FIoy d's 'The Wall' bitter-toned - Featuring Margaret, Tex h o l d , and William Roy.

by Rod Barr

Throughout the past 15 or so

years, many rock bands (including

Pink Floyd) have tried their hands

at concept albums. Floyd's "The

Wall" ranks as one of the best

conceived and executed such

album to date. The immediate question one asks when confront- ed by a concept album is, "Exad-

ly what is the concept?" "The Wall's" "concept," or emotions,

cannot be described easily in a few words.

The music throughout the

album almost never stops, the

songs being connected by muffled

talk in English accents or sound of children on a playground,

among others. The tone of each

song, though the music ranges

from classical to horror movie

music to hard rock'n'roll, is usual-

ly one of bitterness. Suggestive of

this mood are the lyrics from the

song "Another Brick in the Wall

Part 2": "We don't need no edu-

cation, we don't need no thought

control, no dark sarcasm in the

classroom, teachers leave the kids

done, Hey teacher leave us kids

alone." Those words, and those

of the entire album, suggest a cyn-

ical and disapproving attitude to-

wards modern day philosophies.

The lyrics of "The Thin Ice" say

it best, "If you should go skating

on the thin ice of modern life ..., Don't be surprised when a crack

in the ice, appers under your feet.

You slip out of your depth and out of your mind, wish your fear

flowing out behind you, as you

claw the thin ice." The music on the album changes

styles quickly, but usually not

mood. The members of Floyd are phenomonal instrumentalists,

especially guitarist Roger Waters

who plays tasty slow leads as well

as he plays the burning fast ones.

The vocals possess the usual

"Floydian" qualities, (i.e., mid- range lead with high-range harm-

onies and a sliding last note.)

One major vocal difference in

"The Wall" is the use of the

Islington Green School choir,

a group of young kids with

overpowering British accents,

in the song "Another Brick in

the Wall, part 2." The fact that children were singing the bitter

words added to the desired

effect of the song and the album.

"The Wall" is an album that

defies a precise definition and a

clear understanding, which adds

to the effect of the work. But, despite its ambiguity, "The Wall"

ranks as one of the best lyric and

best musical albums of 1979

In this Chieftain survey, over 150 IH students were aked about

out to those who have had little experience with religion, and to

ultimately join or actively par- ticipate in a religious institution. The Reverend Sitterley

feels that "youth groups are in no way in competition with the church." He also feels strongly

that the effectiveness of these groups rests on their spirit and

enthusiasm, and the meaningful

relationships within the group.

The Reverend Sitterly states,

"young people can relate to these

meetings much more easily than

religious services which they feel

are 'boring' or 'out-of-touch.' " One factor determining the

success \of these groups is the

effectiveness of both the adult

and youth leaders. Sitterly says

that adult leadership can either

add or detract from a religious

experience. Father Snyder claims

that adult leadership can have

an impact because, "young people

respect the experiences and testi-

mony of adults." Despite their

influence, the Reverend Sitterly

feels that good youth leadership

can have the most impact. "This kind of positive leadership at-

tracts peers who would otherwise

have no contact with religion.

Are parents influential in

structuring their child's religious development? Rabbi Kirzner,

the Reverend Sitterly, and Father

Snyder all agree that parents are responsible for introducing and

making their children aware of

different beliefs. Father Snyder

feels that awareness of different

religions at a young age allows the

child to have good background of

information upon which the child

may base his opinions. Left on their own, most people won't

start investigating religious pos-

sibilities until the late teens. A sound background of religious

training helps a person decide

what is right for him or her. Although attendance at struc-

tural religious services is down, many young people have turned

to youth groups within both the church and the community.

Others have turned to small Bible

study groups, and some have

turned inward to discover them-

selves. Whatever the trend,

Rabbi Kirzner feels that reli-

gious participation goes in cycles,

and the participation by young

people at religious services will soon be increasing.

Pep assemblies

provide s pi r i t -

even for seniors

by Dave Johson

After last year's vandalism, the

administration and Board of Edu-

cation approached the Student

Government and the Senior Class

officers with a mandate: the

spirit of IH must be improved.

Student Government, led by

Scott Edwards and Julie Schnee- beck, has made numerous con- tributions to the production of

school spirit. According to Scott,

the main thrust of SGYs efforts has been exposing the students

to all the athletic teams, both

boys and girls, and to the music

and drama programs, thus por-

traying the many diversified tal-

ents of IHers.

The Pep Club had trouble

finding a sponsor until recently,

Scott explained. "By using the

Senior Class as a backer, we tried to get everyone interested, especially the new Freshman Class

with our big brother, big sister

program."

Recently, Dr. Feltman offered

to help by sponsoring the Pep

Club, but both Scott and Bob

Heynan (Senior Class Officer)

agree that Pep Club already has

a great number of members.

Bob explained, "We like to

think of aIl the people that come to the games as members of the

Pep Club," and with the recent

help of Mrs. Mashburn and Mrs.

Sudbrack. IHers no have .;heir

own version of the "terrible

towel," red handkerchiefs.

Both Scott and Bob agree that

the administration, particularly

Dr. Feltman and Mr. Aug, has worked extremely will with SG

and the senior class. "Now-

adays," Scott explained, "when we ask for a pep rally, we get

it." Even the seniors with senior

option are staying or coming

back for the pep assemblies.

Both also agree that an under-

lying factor to the increase in

spirit has been the Pep Band. The addition of special features,

such as a drum synthesizer,

esectric guitars (courtesy of Andy

Keefer), and even a whistler

(Brad Taylor) has helped evoke

spirit at the home basketball

games and pep assemblies.

depends who you peers are.

Some people, like me are afraid

before they try the drug. STUDENT X: They're just like

can get along better with people

who don't party than with peo-

ple who are into it too much.

If you make a decision to do it

or not to do it, that's your de-

like to be told what I should

CHIEFTAIN February 29,1980 CHI E FTAI N . . . . . . .

Foreign language enrollment declines in US by Leslie Megison

In 1915, 85% of all American

colleges required prior instruction

in a foreign language for admis-

sion. Since then, that percentage

has nosedived past 34% in 1966 to a pitiful 8% today.

Consequently, the national

quota of high school students

who study a foreign language

has also plummeted. After a recent detailed study, the US

President's Commission on For-

eign Language and International Studies has concluded in its re-

port released last November that

the resulting lack of Americans'

familiarity with foreign tongues and cultures poses a threat to

national security and US international trade.

Most !American high school students know they probably

won't need a foreign language for

admission to the college or uni-

versity of their choice. Pre- dictably, only 15% of them elect

to take language or cultural cours-

es, and significantly fewer con-

tinue their studies after the

second year, barely tasting the

fundamentals.

Comparitively few students

who decide on a business career

ever take such instruction; and

this is obviously a handicap in an

age where one out of every eight

jobs in agriculture and one

out of every 5 jobs in industry

is stongly related to internation-

al trade. The Foreign Senrice has had to drop its language

requirement for recruits to keep

from shortchanging itself of po-

tentially capable people. Has IH followed the national

trend in radically .decreasing foreign language enrollment? "Not

really," comments Mrs. Wund, an IH French teacher.

"We've [the foreign language department] lost as many kids as any other department." She

feels that the decrease has been

proportional to the shrinking

sizes of incoming classes. M still has a moderate percent-

age of students taking a foreign

language because some of them

are influenced by the myth that

they have to have i t to graduate,

according to Mrs. Wund.

Generally, students who have

older siblings who took a for-

eign language are more likely to take the same one. Spanish seems

to be more popular in the ear-

lier stages, though more students stay with French all the way to

the AP (advanced placement)

level.

Altough Latin and German courses have been pared down to

mainly the beginning levels, the

foreign language department has been enriched by IH's recent

Underclassmen run amok during scheduling entranceintointernat ionalex- changes. These exchanges, which

by Matt Misali Ah, scheduling! It's that time

of the year again. It's almost

as much fun as doing your income taxes, isn't it? It's kind of sad- istic (another word to look up, freshmen) of the administration

to make you choose your own courses for the next year.

Scheduling is alot like telling

a condemned man that he is for- tunate enough to be able to pick his own means of execution.

I have discovered another sig-

nificant advantage of being a senior. I won't get an ulcer

worrying over scheduling because . I don't have to do it.

It's just great sitting back and

watching all the underclassmen

run amok. I find it especially

satisfying watching the freshmen go into a vicious frenzy

trying to get in the same classes with all of their friends, and ask-

ing more experienced sophomores

and juniors things like, "Is this OK?", and, "Is English very

important, or should I drop it?"

But I guess the underclassmen

have a right to be like that, be-

cause they have to go through

alot of misery. One of their main problems is the order the

homerooms go in to be scheduled. Being first is Heaven on

Earth, while being last automatic-

ally makes the schedule you've worked on completely impossible.

Do any of you seniors remember how religious we used to get

around this time? You know, praying every day for your home-

room to be one of the first three

to be scheduled? I remember last

year I got so carried away I vowed that if mine were first, I would

become the valedictorian. Need- less to say my prayers went

unanswered. My homeroon pulled sixth, so I decided to let

someone else become valedictor-

ian. That's quite an unselfish gesture on my part.

Another problem is trying to

figure out a schedule that works. You think you have it all worked

out and you begin to congratu-

late yourself on your obvious genius. But you find out that

the quarter course you've been dying to take, (Russian De-

mocracy of the Twentieth Century) is only available for

third quarter and not fourth.

You pull your hair out trying to

set it right. Then when you go down to the scheduling arean, the person at the course's table

tells you, "I'm sorry, that course

is filled."

Well, we seniors have had our

share of hardships. If you students who have to schedule need

any help, just ask a senior for

some. But if I were you I really wouldn't trust one, because you might frind yourself in a class you

don't want, like being enrolled

in girls' PE although you are a

boy.

have been fairly successful so far,

provide a unique and enlighten-

ing experience for the interested

language student who wishes to

learn more than just how to con- jugate verbs in eight different

tenses.

For the students beginning

foreign language courses, Mrs.

Wund would like t o see a pre-

course English reveiw to brush

up on basic grammar in one

language before studying another.

If the chore of relearning English

structural rules at the same time .as learning those in another lan-

guage were relieved, Mrs. Wund

feels that perhaps more stu-

dents would be interested in con-

tinuing on to higher levels.

Model UN returns f rom G-town G.A. by Greg Troutman

IH's Model U.N. Club returned from the 17th annual George-

town United Nation simulation on Monday after representing the country of Guyana. Nine

club members and Mr. Nellis

spent five days at the conference

which was designed to simulate the actual United Nations with

typical resolutions.

Each morning, IH delegates awoke to a quick continental

breakfast and drank enough cof-

fee to survive the morning's

meeting. Meetings began at 9:30

a.m. and lasted until 12:15 at

night. The meetings were center-

ed in a debate between over a

hundred delegations on such

topics as transnational corpora

tions, terrorism and the peaceful

uses of outer space.

Most of the time, delegates

were divided into specialized

committees such as the political

and security committee, the

social and humanitarian committee and the economic and

financial committee.

All resolutions that passed committee were then sent to the

General Assembly Plenary in which members from all commit-

tees participated. Rules for debate originated from Robert's

Rules of Order and the U.N.

rules of parliamentary procedure. The high. points of Plenary

occurred when Cuba, a delegation

from Shaker Heights, Ohio, was

kicked out for voting twice.

During the course of the conference, delegates were expos-

ed to a variety of speakers.

Among these were the Under-

secretary General of Political

Affairs at the United Nations and the Deputy Ambassador to

the United Nations.

Club members spent Sunday afternoon and Monday touring

downtown Washington's Mall

area. On the Mall, they visited

such tourist attractions as the

Smithsonian Institute, Congress,

the National Gallery and the

Hirshhorn Museum.

Are all models California No t at IH a lot out of it. kor one thing, they seem simply t o enjoy the everyday work. Sue Bradfield says, "I love wearing the best

styles, and it makes me feel good when I make a sale." Aside from

that, the girls like t o get involved with other people, and they fmd

modeling helps with their poise

and selfconfidence. Vicki Ballard is probably one of

like the p o s e with whom she

happens to be working, and often

a job just isn't what she expects. For example, several weeks ago,

Vicki did a Wendy's commercial.

She had expected to spend perhaps an hour or two on it, but it

ended up taking till 5:30 in tfee morning-leaving her two hours

to get ready for school. On top of this, she wasn't paid as much

as she had hoped, and it turned out that the commercial would o d y be aired in Texas.

There are other letdowns too.

"Sometimes it hurts when you don't get a job you really want, but you learn to accept it."

Vicki stressed that when a model doesn't get a job, it probably isn't

her fault. The model usually just isn't what the employer

wants, and there's nothing she can d o about it.

Vicki hopes to keep modeling

for a few years, but she plans to

keep it local. Eventually, she

hopes to get in behind the scenes

for a career. As a model, she has learned a lot about advertising

and stage work, and these are

defmite career possibilities for

her.

. Of course, most high school girls

who model do it only as a

Andre, the experience could be

very valuable. Lette hopes to

major in fashion design at college,

so after graduating, she'll be creat- ing the fashions other models

wear. She feels that it will help her to know the field from both

sides. In any case, modeling isn't

in the future for most of the girls who model now. It is very

limited for all but a few, and

career even more. But for a few talented girls, it is a great way

Soy fertilizer to solve US oreign prob by Rod Barr

A few days ago, I received an

advertising letter from a presi-

dential hopeful. It contained

some ideas that I think merit

some real thought. It read as

follows:

1. Iran - I feel the solution to the

Iranian crisis lies in one major area. That area is the effective

development of soy fertilizer

against Iran. If each marine

were equipped with a 5-pound bag of soy fertilizer, he could

storm Tehran, spread the ferti-

lizer on the ground, and, in

only a few short months, they would have a beautiful bush

garden to hide and protect

him from the Iranians. They

could then sneak up under

cover of the green foliage, to the embassy, where they

would free the hostages.

thinking on ways to bring it down. The best way to fight

inflation would be for each American to buy a 10 or 15

pound bag of soy fertilizer. This would allow them to

grow beautiful gardens r/i. vegetables, thus cutting down

unnecessary vegetable spen-

ding. You're probaw asking, ,

''Will this bring inflation

down?" Of course it will!.

The decrease of dependence

on foreign countries for our

vegetables would raise the

GNP of our country incredi-

bly. And the solution is so

simple.

most startling military action

since Pearl Harbor. It is a very

touchy situation, and should be handled as such. If Ameri-

ca supplied the Afghan rebels with 50-pound bags of soy fer-

tilizer, they could hold out

against, and possibly even defeat, the Soviet forces. By

piling the ! bags of fertilizer on top of each other, an effec-

tive barricade can be erected, protecting the rebels from a l l

types of Soviet military de-

vices. Inside the barricade, the fertilizer could be used for a

beautiful green veg6table gar-

den which could sustain the

Afghans for months.

Most people, when thinking of

modeling, get images of beauti-

ful, slender, females living @a-

morous lives in L.A. or New

York. Yet, if this were the case,

Indian Hill would have lost several

beautiful, slender, females t o such

cities already. While most

students don't even begin to think

of employment until summer

vacation rolls around, a few IH

girls work all seasons as models.

Granted, for teenage girls,

modeling isn't quite as glamorous

as it is for their coast counter- parts, but it does provide a fun

job as well as exciting possibili-

ties for the future. Girls interest-

ed in modeling have basically two

choices open to them. They can

either work through an agency,

such as John Robert Powers, as

Liz Woodhouse did for several

years, or they can go free-lance, as

girls like Sue Bradfield and Lette

, Andre have done.

Many girls get started through department store teen boards,,

like Shillito's or Pogue's Junior

Board. Each year, boards take

applications from numerous

hopeful future models. Those

who are accepted have the chance

to model for the department store

the following year. The work is

somewhat limited and consists

almost entirely of fashion shows.

The pay isn't the best, and the

girls can't model anywhere else,'

but the work provides good

experience. Junior Phyllis

Burnstein and senior Angie Martin

are two that have worked with

the department store boards.

Many girls go free-lance after

having worked on a team board

for several years. Models who

work free-lance don't have such

steady employment, but they

have more freedom. Since they

must apply for each job, they

can schedule them to fit their

own needs. For example, many

of Lette Andre's jobs have been

working in nearby shops in lunch

hour fashion shows. But, because

the work is not always steady, she

has found Limelight to be a big

help.

Limelight is something like a

computer dating service for

models. It keeps a portfolio on

each girl, and when someone

needs a model with certain quali-

fications, it brings the two to-

Dear American,

The following is an outline of what my approach to certain is-

sues would be if I were elected president. Before I begin, how-

ever, let me make it perfectly

clear that I have no vested inter- ests in any sort of business ven-

ture, nor will I if I am elected

president. My sole purpose in

being president will be to improve

our country, not to receive personal gains of any type.

thing, and I have done much

Afghanistan - The Soviet inva-

sion of Afghanistan is the 4. The Russian Threat - The

threats of the Soviet Union

are very real and disturbing. I see only one plausible solu-

tion. We should arm every B-52 plane with 1000

500-pound bags of soy ferti-

lizer each, to be dropped on

the entire Soviet Union.

These heavy bags would crush

everything in their paths,

wiping out the entire Soviet population. A big plus to this

action is that Russia has no

effective anti-fertilizer equip-

ment. And, in addition, when

the American forces move into

Russia after the attack, they

will have 8,200,000 square miles of lush vegetable garden

awaiting them.

12 points, poor outside and free

In this year's Chieftain Issue No.4, staffers polled

the student body to ascertain student attitudes toward

student leaders in Student Government. In that poll, only seven percent of the student population felt that

the prupose of SG was "to be a source of intellectual

discus~ion ." Perhaps the reason for the marginal number comes

from a general misunderstanding of the term "intel-

lectual discussion."- But, in an ideal situation, the

word "intellectual" should catch the eye of every

true student.

In an academic environment, which a school sup-

posedly maintains, the prime concerns of student lead-

ers should be student concerns - intellectual concerns.

The question that any Student Government eval-

A lot needs to be done in this school to promote

individuality. For instance, SG could attempt to sal-

vage the literary magazine from financial problems

by sponsoring student creative writers. SG could also hold student debates on student social issues - the draft

isn't such a small concern, you know.

These are just two simple suggestions that take up a few lines in a Chieftain editorial. There are many

more that could be suggested. SG programs don't have to provide for the entire student body - they can

apply to only a few students too. But SG members need to remember that a culturally healthy student

body maintains a dynamic character, and that, after

all, SG is the assembly that must lead students in the

search for individuality.

uation includes pertains to how well SG addresses the

concerns of students. What, then, really are the con-

cerns of students? 6845 Drake Road

In the past SG has equated student concerns with

activities and repeatedly preached the trite slogan,

Vol. 29, No. 11

February 29, 1980 '

ww "Get involved." But, do most students spend most of their day worrying about the girls' varsity basketball game next Thursday or the next session of Travel

Club ? The answer is an obvious "no" Students spend most

of their time learning - probably not in class either,

but about each other - about the differences we per-

ceive< in each other and how they pertain to ourselves.

These differences are the true student concerns, and

whether or not most of us are willing to admit it,

these differences provide the basis for any "real intel-

lectuality" that exists in a "public academic institu-

tion" such as ours. Then, how should SG seek to address these student

concerns? First of all, student leaders should keep in

mind the simple fact that intellectuality thrives on

individuality. With that idea in mind, SG leaders should seek to cultivate ,individuality in the student

community . Over the past two years, such efforts have succeed-

ed. Last Year's SG-sponsored Peer Counseling Qrogram received a great response and so did the recent SG

sponsored Thespian Theater 100 Forum. But the

point is that if such actions are really going to have

an impact on student life, the "individuality policy"

must be constant. This constancy can't come from great SG achieve-

ments like taping up that silly monthly activities cal-

endar that falls down every time the weather changes.

The Class Cabinet program doesn't contribute to indi-

viduality that much either, because it tends to favor

~pecific groups.

er nature, Chuck has decided to go north to college. Although he

is not totally sure where he will

go, his choices have been narrow- ed down to four schools in par-

ticular. Dennison, DePauw,

Carlton College, and Williams

College are the top possibilities.

Wherever Chuck goes to college, it is certain that his collection of

72 albums wil l travel along with

with the name of his basketball

team.

Playing the trumpet has also

given Chuck a feel for music.

"I've played since I was in fifth grade," he stated. "I've also been

in orchestra for two years, and

pep band for three." When asked why he has had such dedication

to the instrument, Chuck replied,

"I just like playing - at least

most of the time."

With all of this going on in his

life, it's suprising that he would have time for anything else, but

he does support a local fan club. Chuck's a loyal fan of "Help me

Billy," of which not much is

known. Chuck wouldn't reveal . anything, but then there is the

Deer Park dominated the game on the strength of excellent out-

side shooting. The Braves' biggest lead in the game was one point

during the middle of the third

quarter . The game started roughly for

the Braves, as both teams' de- fenses made mistakes. The

Braves' offense started having

execution problems and Deer Park bolted out to a 26-21 half-

time lead.

After surviving mild threats

for the lead in the third quarter,

Deer Park had established a 3

point lead with 1 minute left in

points. The team continued their solid

play in the fourth quarter, to

maintain their previously established lead to win 5543.

Leading scorers for the J.V.

Braves were Dave Hancher with

nineteen points, Terry Healey

with fourteen points and Pete

sunk two more free throws

to clinch the 61-58 victory.

Playing before an unbelieve- ably rowdy crowd, the Braves

established an early lead. By the end of the first quarter, the

Braves led by six. As the game progressed, how-

ever, the team ran into trouble.

Due to sloppy playing, the

Braves gave up their lead, leav-

ing the score 28-35 a t the half. After the half-time, the team

settled down to their regular

game keeping an even pace. With

The Indian Hill "It's Aca-

demic" team staged a come-from- behind win over St. Ursuline and

Lloyd Memorial Sunday after-

noon with respective scores of

610,270, and 200. The win placed IH's trio of

Greg Troutman, David Johnson

and Gary Freytag into the serni-

finals -just two wins away from a

possible city championship.

Indian Hill was down by sixty a

points to Ursuline after the fust

round, only to make up the dif-

ference by answering a l l but one

of the category questions (Greg,

Dave and Gary will now, no

doubt, remember that blue is the

color suggested by loyalty).

IH furthered its lead in the

packet and grab bag rounds,

dominating all late rounds.

Spurred on by the cheering of

spectators and the pep band, the

trio finished with the extremely

high score of 610. Considering

that the average winner's score is

about 450, this score and the last

taping's score of 650 are terrific

accomplishments.

Sunday's taping had an in- formal air uncommon to most

"It's Academic" matches. The utter confidence of IH seemed- to

ridicule the other teams, espe-

cially when David ,Johnson

answered a passed math question

with an almost mocking "Four." Twice team members disagreed on '

answers, shouting out different

answers at the same time, but both times finally agreeing on the

correct answer. The laughs of

- the Ursuline fans at this confi-

dence gradually faded into silence

as IH widened its lead.

This confidence may have

caused the team to get a bit cocky

a t times, particularly when they

answered the last question with a

joking, "Dred Scott." This may

need explaining: Dred Scott, the

plaintiff in the famous slave trial

of the 1 8 0 0 ' ~ ~ has become the

answer to every question that no

one knew in practice.

"We always used to say jackass

answers in practice," said Dave,

but until now, "Dred Scott" had

stayed in room 206.

On May 8, IH audiences will have a chance to see this game as

it airs on WCET-TV 48.
