February 20 at IH.
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

For Colerain, Kattus with 16 aihd
Kolde with 12 led the scoring.
The Braves brought home the
EHL crown last Friday night with a confident 6344 victory over
Milford.
Thanks to Sycamore's 77-75
doubledvertime victory over Glen
Este three days earlier, all Indian
Hill had to do was beat Milford
for the crown.
In bringing its overall record
to 15-5, the team was led by Ken

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.

it airs on WCET-TV 48.

Page 2 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 basket- ball 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.

The Squaws held the third
seeded Lakota team scoreless for
the first five minutes of the game,
but Lakota exploded for 8
straight points, ending the first
quarter with an 8 to 5 lead.
Lakota took a firm hold on
the game in the second quarter,
going into the locker room with a
28 to 12 lead over IH.
Although Melissa Pope scored
12 points, poor outside and free
throw shooting prevented the
Squaws from obtaining a first

IH Squaws.

Milford scored early, leaving

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 de- feat, 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 per- sonal 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 inter- national 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 for- eign 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 fresh- men 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 sched- uled. 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 remem- ber 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 stud- ents 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 return- ed 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 commit- tee 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.

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 per- haps 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.

out to those who have had little experience with religion, and to
ultimately join or actively par- ticipate in a religious institu- tion. 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

The band is conducted by Mr.
Glen Richter, who also' conducts the University of Michigan Band.
Mr. Richter recieved his education
at the University of Texas and at
one time held a post a Cincinnati
Conservatory of Music.

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 institu- tion. 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.

feel persecuted by them? STUDENT Y: Not at all. Some
are really biased because they've never used it themselves - it all
depends who you peers are.
Some people, like me are afraid
before they try the drug. STUDENT X: They're just like
everyone else. Sometimes I
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

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 inter- national 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 for- eign 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 fresh- men 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 sched- uled. 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 remem- ber 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 stud- ents 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 return- ed 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 commit- tee 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.

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.

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 de- feat, 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 per- sonal gains of any type.

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.

AAA Sectional Tournament.
The Squaws held the third
seeded Lakota team scoreless for
the first five minutes of the game,
but Lakota exploded for 8
straight points, ending the first
quarter with an 8 to 5 lead.
Lakota took a firm hold on
the game in the second quarter,
going into the locker room with a
28 to 12 lead over IH.
Although Melissa Pope scored
12 points, poor outside and free
throw shooting prevented the
Squaws from obtaining a first
round victory in the sectional
tourney, as Lakota breezed to a 59-25 victory over the struggling
IH Squaws.
The Squaws ended their regu-
lar season, loosing a close game to
Milford 45 to 37 Thursday, Feb. 14.
Milford scored early, leaving
the Squaws with an 8 point defe-
cit at the end of the first quarter.
IH stayed even with the Eagles in
the second quarter, trailing 25 to
17 at the half.
In the third quarter the
Squaws could only score four
points and Milford extended their
lead to 14 points with only one
quarter left to play. The Squaws made a great comeback in the
final quarter, getting within four
points of Milford, but the Eagles
held on to score a 45 to 37 vic-
tory over the IH Squaws. Leading
scorers for IH were Melissa Pope,
scoring 21 points and Maura

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.

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,

ww "Get involved." But, do most students spend most of their day worrying about the girls' varsity basket- ball 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.

"Although we don't always win, really enjoy playing." However,
snow sports are Chuck's real
favorites. "I enjoy the snow,"
relayed Chuck, "I play hockey
occasionally, but hitting the slopes for skiing is the best."
To keep up with his cold weath-
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

February 20 at IH.
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

For Colerain, Kattus with 16 aihd

The Braves brought home the
EHL crown last Friday night with a confident 6344 victory over
Milford.
Thanks to Sycamore's 77-75

Hill had to do was beat Milford
for the crown.
In bringing its overall record

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.
