reach Cincinnati this year, it s t e m s appropriate that this col- umn be devoted to some winter
outdoor activity. When January rolls around most lakes north of Cincinnati and even some in town are covered with ice thick enough to ice fish.
Of all fishermen, ice fishermen are the diehards. They're the ones who brave negative tempera- tures bundled in snowmobile suits, looking like eskimos. They're the lunatics one sees driving I;ord pickups over lakes like it was no big deal.
Are frostbitten toes and icy fingers worth a few slimy critters from the deep? To some they are. Many ice fishermen catch their limit of pike, bass, or blue-
giU in a short time. Almost all
most are sluggish. The cold water temperature slows down the fish's metabolism, so it feeds less.
Most ice fishermen use live
bait, which is more productive than artificial bait and easier to fish with. All one has to do is
throw a minnow on a hook with a
small sinker and relax. The only problem with this is that it isn't
fun dipping one's hand into a bucket of squirmy minnows in below freezing temperatures.
When fishing with live bait most ice fishermen use a device called a tip-up to tell when they have a strike. A tip-up consists of a small flag attached to the line so the flag pops up when a fish hits. Two sticks in the form of a cross over the hole support the flag.
In Michigan, where I do most
ties, which resemble the modem day Port-0-Lets. This is the luxurious way to ice fish. Most shantie? have two holes from which to fish and some even have built-in heaters. Since the shanty is dark, one can look into the hole and see the fish eating the min-
nows. Usually visability is limited to twenty feet or so.
For most ice fishermen, shanties are the most fun way to
fish. Seeing the fish swim up to the minnow, then turn away at the last minute is frustrating but
also fun. Unlike any other type
of fishing, in shanty fishing
one can see the fish's approach
and reaction to the bait. Shanties also provide an effective pro-
tection against brutal northern winds.
IH prospective student program informs
district of 1983-84 scholastic alternatives must learn to relate to al l people of all levels," stated Feltman.
Math department head Mr. David
The need for the program
stemmed from the ever increasing
problem of declining enrollment. The plain and simple facts are that there are as many as 700
children living in the Indian Hill school district who attend private or parochial schools and in the
last seven years Indian Hill's en- rollment has declined by about
500 students. High school principle Dr. Karl
Feltman raised the question: "Are people getting that much more
for their money from other schools?" He added that they
have to pay taxes and support Indian Hill anyway.
The problem facing many pro-
spective students is the stereotype that public schools lack quality
and discipline. Social Studies de-
partment coordinator Mr. Jim
Powers said, "Adults think public
schools are a stinking mess due to bad press. If parents got the mes-
sage (that schools aren't a mess)
the program was worthwhile."
Feltman and other administra- tors actually made the program to
allow people to judge the school
by its merits and not the fact that
it is a public school. "We have a very competative product and we offer the community their
school," said Feltman. "I'm all for it," said Mrs. Mor-
gan, head of the English depart-
ment. 'With more enrollemnt we can have a better curiculum, more classes to offer, and we can main-
tain our extracurricular program." "School is a place where you
learn to live with society and you
Swisher commented that "some
students in other public schools would be better off corn- t o
Indian Hill." After all of what has been
said, still another aspect to the declining enrollment problem re-
mains. There is a direct corolla-
tion between the number of stu-
dents and the number of teachers
in any school. "The administra- tion is doing a great deal to save
jobs for the teachers with the
program," said Language de- partment head Mrs. JoAnn Wund.
The bottom line is that the
administration hoped to show
Indian Hill's achievements, what it has to offer, and give the com- munity an equal schooling alter-
native before any decisions were
made for the 1983-84 year.
by Ron Zesch The high school conducted
what administrators call a "pro-
spective student program" last
night. The program was aimed at getting students from the IH dis-
trict who attend other high
schools to enroll 'at Indian Hill
High School. The program began with a
short introductory address high-
lighting the school's achievements
and then proceeded into a period which could be used as a question and answer session.
Questions were directed at the attending administrators, coun-
selors, department coordinators,
teachers, alumni, and students. Refreshments were served and
all in attendance were offered a
tour of the school's facilities.

overtime broke a 24-24 deadlock
to seal a hard-fought 26-24 win for IH against Mariemont on December 16. The Braves played a sloppy first half but kept the game tight, being down by only five, 20-15, at half. The Braves'
defense pulled together in the second half to allow no field goals.
The Warriors threatened to score with seconds remaining, but a block by Viox sent the game into overtime.
Commented Thompson, "We played a terrible furst half, but in the second we improved. We had some guys in foul trouble, so we used a zone to cut down on the fouls. Overall it was a sloppy win, but I 1 take it."
This win, coupled with wins against Loveland, Madeira and Sycamore, gives IH a 4-1 EHL record, chasing only the undefeated Milford Eagles; and as Baumel put it, despite their SO0 record, "All that matters is the EHL."
by Paul Smith The high school custodians
made improvements in the science
and home economics departments during Christmas break.
One of their largest endeavors
was a new darkroom in the science department. Located in
Mr. Dick Pfman's room, it was

P future.

The darkroom wiU serve for stroboscopic photography (photo-

"It is going to give the kids a chance to do things that they haven't been able to do in the
past. Not many schools have the ability to take holographic and
stroboscopic photographs. It's going to be a nice thing for the
school," Pfman commented.

Another addition to the school was made in the home
economics room. A wall was added to the room to separate the
kitchen from the classroom. With
the wall's separation of the two existing rooms, Home Economics
teacher Mrs. Kathryn Marsh
hopes that classes will have less disturbances, and, in turn, get
more accomplished. Along with the new wall, part

The Squaws did not have a model game in their 54-33 loss to Glen Este this past Tuesday. Pfirman summed up the game well: "We had a really bad day. We couldn't play together."
The much improved Squaws lost to the talented Madeira Amazons last Thursday, 51-30. The game was close for three quarters. After the frrst quarter, the score was tied at 6 4 , and even though the second quarter of play ended 18-12, the game was still
way too small. Now we feel much freer," Marsh said. The de- partment hopes to use the room for dinners in the future.
Besides the custodians' work,
the janitors also worked on many areas of the school. They
scrubbed and waxed all of the floors, cleaned the student service
center, changed lights, cleaned
windows and worked to improve
the heating system in the school. A new darkroom for the

editorial jobs. . - It's not Reaganomics, it's economics - pure and
Americans who criticize President Reagan for
creating today's 10.4% unemployment rate, the highest unemployment rate since the Great Depression, are
overlooking two simple economic facts: the law of supply and demand and the fact that inflation and
unemployment rates usually swing like a pendulum.
Last spring, Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volker began tightening up the money supply by raising
the discount rate above 16%. This in turn propor-
tionally raised the interest rate at which people
borrow money. Naturally, with an excessively high interest rate people borrowed less money and bought
less goods and services.
The law of supply and demand says that if demand
is decreased then supply will increase which will in turn result in a reduction in prices - i.e. - the inflation
rate. This is exactly what happened last year as the inflation rate plummetted from above 12% to its
present rate of below 5%. The obvious negative side of decreased inflation is increased unemployment. Those
people who are not borrowing money and demanding the goods and services are causing people to lose their
as I see it
Banning video games
by John Bergman One of the greatest crazes that
has swept the nation in the last
several years is video games. They have found their way into res-
taurants, shopping malls and arcades. Everyone seems to be
playing them.
I t is only natural that video games are now the topic of a
raging controversy; all other
popular things are, after all. This controversy centers around the
idea that the games might have a
detrimental effect on avid players,
or at least on their finances, and
argues that communities have a
responsibility to protect these
unfortunate souls.
Recently, several groups have
suggested that video arcades
should be banned. Some cities
have taken this step. Proponents
of banning base their arguments
on the simple issue of money and
the much more complicated one
of psychology.
The fanatical ramifications of the games are fairly obvious.
Avid video players can find them-
selves plunging quarter after
ue purpose quarter into the slot, without
much attention given to bud-
getary consequences. People in favor of banning will tell you that
some of these quarters were intended for lunch-money, or at
least could have been spent more
wisely.
The second issue is slightly more abstract. I have heard
psychologists use such terms as
arcadeaddiction. They say that
some players look for needed
security in the games. The arcade
is a place of escape from the real world, a world they should be
learning to deal with more effec-
tively.
Then there is the issue of
learning itself. People against
video games say that the most
that a video game can attempt to
develop in the player is handeye
coordination.
The last major argument that
the opponents of video games
tend to make relates to their ef-
fect on social behavior. They say
that the games separate a player
from his surroundings by bringing
simple. So which is worse: high unemployment or high
inflation? And can a median be reached? The answer, if it is obtainable, is to find a way to control both inflztion and unemployment at reasonable rates. The
possibility for finding a median is in the hands of the
President and Congress.
Recently, the signs of economic recovery from the
recession have surfaced. Construction and the housing
market are increasing, the interest rate is dropping, and
the stock market continues to flourish; all of these
seem to indicate economic recovery. With recovery
will come the demand for products which will neces-
sitate jobs which will in turn bring down the unem-
ployment rate. Consumer demand for goods and
services will increase but will this trigger runaway
double-digit inflation again? No one is saying for sure.
If Reagan pulls it off, he will undoubtedly come out
smelling like a rose. Perhaps Americans should give Reagan a chance and
"stay the course." Remember that many of those not
working are getting unemployment checks and welfare aid and are not starving. Reagan may not have all the answers, but he is trying and desperatly needs time for
his policies to be approved and take effect.
him into a totally mechanical
world. Some even go as far as to
say that the games encourage violence and destruction.
These are the reasons why
some people oppose video games. The j u ~ t ~ c a t i o n these people use
in arguing that video games be
banned is the same justification that people use when they want
anything banned. They firmly
believe that it is the responsibility
of the government to protect its
citizens.
Those of you who have read
some of my other columns already know that it is this last
conclusion that concerns me. I
have already expressed my views
about book-banning and politi-
cized art, and I must express that
same view here.
Video games essentially affect
one person, the player. Whether
or not the effect is positive is a
matter of academic debate. I
happen to believe that almost all
of the allegations against video
games are false, but this is not the
crucial point. The financial and psychological dilemma posed by
the games are matters which
should concern those who choose
to play the games, and possibly their parents.
In uuth, most players see the games as a pure and simple form
of entertainment. To them they
are no more detrimental than a game of golf or a crossword puz-
zle. If those fanatics who are
opposed to video games must fmd
something to ban, let them find
something important that affects
and, in some way, harms third
parties. Don't let them outlaw
what is, in reality, just another
form of amusement

Small numbers hurting Aquateam by Diane Remmell
Due primarily to a lack of
depth, the Indian Hill Aquateam,
under new coaches Chris Sigler
and Doc Holliday, has struggled
to an 0-4 start.
Holliday commented, "It's not
that we're lacking talent. We
simply have not got enough
people swimming. At a meet with
all of our swimmers, we only
swim in half of the races."
In the team's most recent loss,
the Aquabraves dropped a close
meet to Roger Bacon's boys'
team, 58-55, on January 7. The
squad lost despite triple wins by
junior Cliff Wingerter and senior
Dave Ackermann and good swims by senior Jim Koster and junior
Scott Lyon, who also placed first
in diving.
The Aquateam swam as a unit in its loss to Talawanda, Decem-
ber 16. The girls' team lost
68-41, while the boys' team, led
by triple wins by Wingerter, Ackermann, and Lyon, including
first place in diving, lost 54-47.
The Aquateam took another
loss against the Sycamore "B"
team on December 14. Both
Indian Hill teams, although taking
early leads, took a beating when
Sycamore called in their "A"
team halfway through the meet.
The girls, with triple wins by
Jennie Gardner, Diane Remmell,
and Beth Wingerter, lost the meet
63-50. The Braves, having some
close swims against Sycamore's
"A" team, were defeated, 73-42.
Both Indian Hill teams were
destroyed when they faced the
New Ricnmond team, which has
about three times as many
swimmers as Indian Hill. The girls
lost 64-33, and the boys lost
83-22. Gardner and Remmell captured triple wins, while Kos-
ter, one of only three boys at
the meet, took two events.
Despite these losses, the team
is looking forward to the com-
petitions coming up which will
culminate in the state champion-
ship. The girls, having taken a relay to state for the past four
years, have a good chance of taking the medley relay of
Remmell, Kris Brockman,
Wingerter, &d Sara Linquist to
the sectional and perhaps the
state level. The boys show talent
with Lyon, Ackermann, and Wingerter.
Madeira squeaker l i fts JV Braves by Brian Rowe
Winter break was no vaca-
tion for JV basketball coach Gary
Gellert; he was hard at work de-
vising a new offense. It apparent-
ly has paid off, as in 1983 the
Braves are undefeated, having
won their last four games.
Wednesday's victory over non-
league Turpin upped the Braves' record to 4-7. IH's previous de-
feats of Mariemont and Madeira
evened its league record at 3-3, good for third place behind
Sycamore and Madeira.
The team earned its first non-
league victory by putting Turpin
away, 44-32, Wednesday night.
The "Twin Towers," Curtis Ott
and Pete Seremetis, led the Braves
to their easy victory with 20 and
11 points, respectively.
The most exciting game was
the Braves' most recent league
game, a 55-53 win at Madeira,
January 7. In that game the
Braves jumped out to a 19-11 lead
in the first quarter, with Ott
scoring nine. Madeira closed the
gap slowly after the first half, but
with 1:30 to play, the Mustangs
took a one-point lead.
The Braves took it down the
court, and after 30 seconds, Mike
Wentz was fouled while shooting.
He calmly sank two free throws
despite the crowd's yelling, "Miss
it!" Madeira hurried the ball up
and guard Eric Berger hit on a 15-
foot lump shot.
With 15 seconds left, IH called
timeout, down by one point.
After inbounding, Wentz set up a play. A few passes later,
Seremetis had the ball in close
with four seconds left, put a shot
up, and was fouled. He went to the line and made one of two to
tie the score at 53-53. But after
he made the shots, the Madeira
bench was assessed a technical
foul for complaining too loudly.
David Stanforth made two foul
shots under pressure to put the
game away.
Tonight the JV Braves will
host Glen Este in a key league
showdown. A win could put IH in a tie for second place in the
EHL.
Cooke's young Squaws short on height by Ellen Alvord
The JV girls' basketball team,
plagued by youth and a lack of
height, has pushed off to a slow
2-8 start, with a league record of
2-5.
Explaining the team's record,
the team's coach, Miss Sharon
Cooke, states, "We are a very
young team, and we usually go up
against teams that are loaded with
sophomores, so our record really
doesn't indicate our skill level."
The team's most recent game,
an 18-12 loss to Glen Este last
Tuesday, definitely did not
demonstrate the team's potential.
However, it did exemplify the
team's basic problem: getting
points on the board.
Previous to that, the team
experienced a typical loss to
Madeira, 32-16, on January 6.
Again, scoring was Indian Hill's
major problem.
Surprisingly, after little prac-
tice, in their first game after
winter vacation, Indian Hill's JV
team came up with their second win, a 16-1 1 defeat of Mariemont,
January 4. The team's usual
strong defense was the chief con-
tributing factor of the win.
Before vacation, Indian Hill
had a long, tedious losing streak
against Loveland, 22-14, Milford,
54-9, Sycamore, 43-14, and
Greenhills, 3 2-21, resulting from
a combination of tough teams and
the Squaws' inability to score.
In the beginning of December,
in the third game of the season,
Indian Hill enjoyed its first wm.
The victim was Deer Park; but
again, the low score, 19-10, indi-
cated the amount of work ahead
for the Squaws
Previous to the Deer Park
game, Indian Hill fell to Wyom-
ing, 22-13, and Forest Park,
20-13. Cooke simply summed up
each game and the whole team in
one statement: "Our best aspect
is our man to man defense; our
shooting is weak."
The team's reliable point
guard, freshman Chris Hall, states,
Page 11 The Indian Hill Aquateam
consists of seven boys and seven
girls - just meeting the size re-
quirements for competition in the
state championships. Having lost
one senior girl last year, the Aqua-
team has picked up two freshmen
swimmers.
The girls' team, led by co-
captains Gardner and Remmell,
also includes Kim McKirdy, Lori
Powers, Brockman, Linquist, and
Wingerter.
The Braves are led by co-
captains Ackermann and Koster.
The rest of the team includes
Dave Kilday, Greg Morris, Lyon,
Wingerter and an Italian exchange
student.
Head coach Sigler, also the
present coach for Country Day's team, stated, "I enjoy coaching
Indian Hill. While we are a small
squad, we have the ability to
compete well at the sectional, dis-
trict and state levels."
photo by Julie Gilsdorf Dave Stanforth anticipates the pass against Madeira.
"This has been a frustrating
season so far, but we're hoping to
at least get better." Indeed, mere
improvement seems to be the
team's main goal at this point.
On the other hand, many of
this year's freshmen show rnal potential. Kristin Mains, one of
the few tall people on the team, is
the Squaws' present leading
scorer, with a total of 52 points
thus far. Shari Zesch, another
talented guard, has the highest
foul shot percentage of the
Squaws.
Cooke also expressed good
hopes of future improvement.
"As we become more confident,
we should be able to turn our
record around."

ticed but we've slid back in areas we assumed the team learned last

better than last year. As far as expectations are con-
cerned, Webber thought the team ended up right about where he expected. For next year the coaches expect bigger and better things.
Several years ago Indian Hill was respected as a frne wrestling school. Gradually the team lost that respect, but Webber and Col- lins have a goal of making Indian Hill a wrestling high school once again. The notable improvement over last year is a sign that they
may achieve their goal. The varsity will wrestle at
home against Norwood, Wednes-

Curiosities, and The Royal Court.
Each of the sections featured re- lated examples of weaponry.
The Hunt, for example, con-
sisted of a boar spear, a sporting crossbow, and several pistols and
swords. In the Tournament sec-
tion, the main feature. was a full size mock-up of a knight in joust-
ing m o u r on his warhorse. This armour, which was de-
signed to take a blow from a lance
with the momentum of mother knight and horse behind it, was the heaviest made and usually weighed weil over one hundred pounds. It was far too heavy to
be used in war because the knight,
if dismounted, would have fallen prey to the quick, unarmoured infantry.
Special armour was worn by
the knights for foot combat. The Royal Court features the armour that young Henry VIII used for
"friendly foot combat with axes."
This suit of armour serves as a good example of the skill of the
late medieval armourer. The
by Chris Hug The Cincinnati Art museum
was host to the first tour in the last 900 years of an exhibition of
arms and armour from the Tower
of London. The Tower of London, located
not surprisingly in London on the
Thames River, has a long and romantic history both as a prison
and as an arsenal of arms and
armour. The actual Tower, built in 1066 and known as the White
Tower, was originally intended to serve as a heavily fortified castle
for William the Conqueror. Thus, the Tower is actually a
conglomeration of buildings con- structed around the White Tower
by kings of Britain to accomodate
their larger courts as well as the growing amounts of military hard-
ware. The dungeons of the Tower were traditionally reserved for the
more important prisoners, such as Mary Queen of Scots.
In the early nineteenth cen-
tury, it was decided to convert the Tower's arsenal into a museum of arms and armour, with emphasis gradually shifting to the decorative aspects of weapons. Since then, the Tower
has become one of the most important collections of medieval weaponry in the world.
The exhibit, which ran from
October 9 to January 9, consisted of over 110 pieces chosen to re-
flect the development of arms and amour for both "protection" and
"personal adornment." The
exhibit was divided into eight see

Henry VIII's armour for foot combat tured similar dates back weapons, to c. 1520. such as a
great helm, a sword presented to Lord Collingwood following the
Battle of Trafalgar, a suit of Indian armour composed of chain
mail instead of plate, and an
unusual axe-pistol combination. However, there was little or no
mention of the English longbow,
which played a major role in the Hundred Years War. This may be
due to the fact that there is no
surviving example of the longbow in existence.

killed many teams' seasons, but evidently not the freshman bas- ketball Braves. They have over- come pressure in a series of games
I to win four out of their last five
and even their record at 5-5. The Braves overcame five
technical fouls before the game
started and rallied to beat Love- land 36-25 on the Tigers home floor Tuesday. A statistician had
entered the wrong numbers to players' names in the score book, and the Braves were slapped with five technicals. The Tigers sank all five free throws and soon after the game started held a 7-2 lead, but the Braves came back to notch their fourth EHL win in five tries.
The Braves were led in scoring by Mike Cohen with 17 points,
' his season high. Erich Metzger added 11.
"We played fair the first half," said Coach Steve Thompson after the Braves' 43-41 overtime win over Turpin last Monday. The
Brave: were down 24-17 at the half,-but in the second half, they came to life, evening the score
against Turpin, who had edged them 35-34 earlier this year.
For the most part, the game
was close, but Turpin raced to an
11-point lead early in the third quarter. The Braves kept knock-
ing away and whittled it to one; from then on the game was a basket-for-basket trade off. Erich Metzger hit a 20-footer at the buzzer to tie the game at 39 and send the game into overtime.
Metzger had a field day , hitting eight of 18 shots and seven free
throws for 23 points, by far his best game of the season. Metzger also had a basket in the crucial overtime, while Andy Tucker had a clutch free throw and then a steal with three seconds left on the clock, to close the lid on Turpin. Mike Cohen also played a fine all-around game, getting ten points and doing well on the boards.
IH unleashed all the frustra- tions of a difficult season against Madeira, destroying the Mustangs,
38-19. It was frightening to see. The Braves tore into the Mustangs with a harassing man-to-man defense not seen in earlier games. "We worked hard in practice
perfecting t,he man-to-man, and it paid off," s%d Thompson.
In the first half, Madeira lit- erally could not even put the ball into play after scores, as a flurry
of backcourt steals led to a 18-9
Braves' first-half lead. The de- fense forced turnovers, rejected
shots, and generally crushed the spirit of the Mustangs. Madeira never staged even a resemblence
of a comeback against the
relatively small nine-point deficit. The difference between this
game and others, Thompson thought, was the defense. "I t
really paid off for us this game." 1:orward Bill Baumel thought it was "half them and half us. They were pretty good, as good as
Mariemont (who 1H edged 26-24 1,
but we were really up for the game."
A fiesty band of Braves gave Greenhills a battle before going down 40-30. Three starters and
one reserve were suspended for missing Christmas practices, so
Grey 1-'reudenburg, Dominic Brit-
ton, and Matt Mueller got the starting nods. This bunch was
down by ten at half, 25-15, but narrowed that to one at the clox
of the third, 27-26. However, as Thompson puts it, "We lost our
composure for a few minutes in the fourth," and Greenhills ran
off eight straight points to put a lid on the game.
Thompson had only praise for
his team following the loss.

organizes Senior Search by Win Wells
Applications for the eleventh
annual Senior Search program will
be available today in the attend-
ance office.
The nine week program which
runs from April 4 to June 3, is de-
signed to give seniors a chance to
experience job situations in fields
in which they are planning to en-
ter. These students must meet
certain standards and require- ments before being eligible to par-
ticipate.
According to Mr. Gary Gellert, who is in charge of Senior Search,
eligible students must have at
least a C average in all classes for
the fust three quarters. In addi- tion, the student must have no
deficiencies in any one class or in
terms of attendance. He must
also secure the signatures of all
fourth quarter teachers and have
no unpaid fees 31 fines.
All applications for the pro- gram nlust be returned to the at-
tendance office by February 25.
When all applications are received
Gellert will review and study each
one before making a decision.
Gellert stated that he makes
sure that all requirements are met
and that the job situation is bene-
ficial to the student in terms of
his or her major. He also noted
that students taking Advanced Placement courses are discour-
aged from participating.
Students who qualify will be

Accelerated math classes
place high in competition by Rosemary Ward
Juniors and seniors enrolled in
accelerated math courses partici-
pated in the third in a series of six
tests designed by the Ohio Mathematics League last Tuesday
during third period.
The Ohio Math League is part
of a national organization whose goal is to compare various schools
throughout the state.
Mr. David Swisher who is
partly in charge of the testing at
Indian Hill stated that the tests
are designed to "increase interest
in the subject and to compare
with other students in the state
for math ability."
Presently there are 116 Ohio
schools participating. Based on
the results of two recent tests,
Indian Hill is in third place with
Chillacothee and Xavier High
Schools holding first and second
places respectively.
The students who have the highest scores at Indian Hill are
seniors Diane Remmell and
Lawrence Gallant. Both have
accumulated eleven out of twelve
possible points on the first two
tests.
Results from the test taken on
Tuesday, and the overall state
rankings, will be available within
the next few weeks.
notified by March 11. The final
weeks before April 4 will be spent
prep ,ing for the program, finish- ing un, ttended work in school,
and .ranging the final details
with their employers.
The students themselves must make the contacts and proper ar-
rangements with prospective em-
ployers before submitting an ap-
plication. The employer cannot be a member of the student's irn-
mediate family.
Besides the above requirement
the student and his employer has
several responsibilities. The stu-
dent is not allowed to be paid for
his services, he must be prompt,
and he must follow IH's attend-
ance policy.
January 14,1983
The student must work at
least six hours a day, and he must
keep track of his experiences in a
daily log. In addition, each par-
t i c i ~ int must attend two seminars
and vrite a research paper dealing
with his expe. lences and objec-
tives in the program.
Students will be graded on
their participation in the program
by the daily log, the research pa-
per, and an employer's evaluation.
Gellert will grade students using
the pass-fail system.
Gellert feels quite optomistic
about Senior Search, now enter-
ing its eleventh year of refme-
ment. He feels that the students
who participate in the program
come back with much knowledge
concerning many diverse job
fields.

disc review CHIEFTAIN
Garcia releases Dead-Head's mine by Peter Carr
Well, the trip gets longer and stranger; Jerry Garcia of the
Grateful Dead has once again re-
leased a solo album that has
escaped the eyes of the world.
Run For the Roses won't ever
hit the charts, but then again,
none of the Dead's albums ever
have. This lack of public approval
isn't necessarily indicative of the
album's worth.
Run For the Roses is a decent
album with a distinct Garciaesque
flavor.
This side opens with the title
track - a nice little upbeat number
with plenty . of Garcia's trade-
mark underwater-sounding guitar
licks. This tune does lack a bit in lyrical quality though.
The next number is Lennon &
McCartney's "I saw her Standing
There," and Jerry does it as only
the lead guitarist for the Dead could. Beatle fans will probably
despise this cut, for Garcia slowed the tempo, mellowed the vocals
and even stuck in a beautiful slide
guitar solo.
Song three on this side, "Without Love," is a trademark
Dead ballad comparable to the
older "Ship of Fools." Garcia is backed by the hip Me11 Saunders
on organ and even a horn section
headed by Roger Neuman.
The best tune on the disk, "Midnight Getaway," closes this
side. "Getaway" is a rather long song with plenty of acoustic
guitar work much like that found
on Reckoning.
That side isn't quite as strong
as this side. It opens with two fairly uneventful blues tunes. However, the final number on
that side is a hot version of Bob
Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's
Door."
This tune has been a favorite of audiences at Garcia concerts
for quite some time, and I am
pleased to see its transition to
January 14,1983 vinyl. Liz Stires joins in to add some lovely vocal touches.
One thing must be noted when listening to any Dead album. The Grateful Dead are not a studio
band; they are a concert band. What other group has over seven
live releases?
So, if a studio disk doesn't
seem to come to life on your
stereo, just see the band in con-
cert. Those same numbers that couldn't quite do it at home often
explode into melodies of excite-
ment on the stage.
Run For the Roses is no
master of sound technique. All of
the songs, however, have signifi-
cant stage potential and will thus
only be appreciated by Dead
Heads. Roses is a fine indication that

'Tootsie' goes down as 'must see' - by Gus Gordon
Every once in a while a movie
comes along which I'd call a
"must see" movie. "Must see"
movies are movies that I greatly
enjoyed and would recommend
vigorously to others.
Among my list of "must see"
movies would be Blazing Saddles,
I Airplane, E. T., and now I must add a new one, Tootsie. Tootsie,
in my opinion, is destined to be-
come a classic motion picture. I would have to place Tootsie
in the same category with the
classic Marilyn Monroe film Some Like it Hot. As some of you may
recall, Some Like it Hot is about two out of work musicians who
witness the St. Valentine's Day
Massacre and must join an allgirls
band, in drag, to excape the gang-
sters.
In Toorsie Dustin Hoffman 1s forced into female clothes, be-
cause his only alternative is star-
vation. But that is where the
similarity ends.
Some Like it Hot was a farce
and it was obvious that the two
guys were just that: two guys.
But in Tootsie the matter is
treated a little more seriously. In
one of the most incredible meta-
morphoses I've ever seen in a
movie, Dustin Hoffman actually
becomes a female.
Hoffman plays Michael
Dorsey, an out of work actor who
is desperately looking for a job. As his agent (the film's director,
Sydney Pollack) tells him, he
can't get work because of his
terrible temper. No one will hire

After - having taken a short
sabbatical, brought on by a severe
and prolonged state of mental
stand-still, Puzzle Bag is back! There is, however, some dis-
mal news for logic lovers who
don't like numbers. I stumbled
upon some interesting algebraic
applications recently, and I sim-
ply could not resist the temp-
tation to make a mathematical
puzzle out of some of them.
Maybe next time we'll get
back to just plain common sense.
WHAT AM I THINKING?
I am thinking of a three digit
number, x. The three digits are
a, b, and c, going from left t o
right. If c is divided into x, there
is a remainder of 3.
If c is divided into x squared,
the remainder will be 2. If x is di-
vided by 3, 3 will also be left
over, while the division of b into
x cubed will leave a remainder of 3 as well. The quotient of x/a
x to the fourthla will leave a
remainder of 1. Also, the number 10a + by
when divided by c, will leave the
remainder 1. From these clues, derive x. Also, find the smallest
number which, when divided by
c, b, and a will leave 3, 3, and 5 respectively.
ANSWER TO WHAT
AM I THINKING?
This problem is based on one
of many algabraic facts about
remainders. The trick is most simply stated as follows: if the
quotient x/y has a remainder of z,
then the quotient x to the n/y
will leave the same remainder as
the quotient.
Applying this to the problem,
c must be greater than 3, and it must be a factor of (9 - 2), or 7. Since 7 is prime, c must be 7. B
must be greater than 3 and a fac-

'Distance' ioins a y ~ ~ ~ . l a
First of al l let's get one thing
straight: I did not buy Bob
Seger's new album The Distance,
but Elbie Herman said I could
borrow his, (he hadn't listened to
i t yet) so I did.
I have never r d y paid much
attention to anything by Bob
Seger, although I did go to his
concert in Cincinnati in 1980 (it
other canines was in a friend's box, now could I say no?). After listening to this
album, I remembered why.
You see, all Bob Seger's songs mund the same - 12-bar honky
to& bhes. This song style wears
thin pretty quick. How many
times can Mr. Seger yell and yelp
on one album before it l o s s its
credibitity? Listen to a song or
two md fmd out.
him as Michael Dorsey, so he dons
female attire and finds a job o n a h a p opera -as Dorothy Michaels.
In no time at all, Dorothy be-
comes the admiration of millions, including the show's female star, Jessica Lange. Michael falls in love
with a gul, who is in turn in love with the show's lecherous direc-
tor, Dabney Coleman.
To make matters worse, the
girl's father, Charles Dunning, and
the male star of the show both
fall in love with Dorothy. And
thus begins this hilarious adven-
ture in mistaken identity.
Dustin Hoffman gives the per-
formance of his career as Dorothy
Michaels. I know it might sound
ridiculous, but he is more con-
vincing as a female than he is as a
male. Maybe convincing isn't the
page 5 right word. The chancter of Michael is not a very app- one. He is obnoxious and t 3 ~
liked, a regular pain in the n d .
But the character of Dorothy
is very appealing. She is a person
all her own. Soon after he fust appears in drag, you forget that it's really just Dustin Hoffman
wearing a dress. He is totally
believable, and that's about the highest compliment you can pay
an actor.
But Hoffman's not alone. He is backed by a wonderful support-
ing cast. Chief among these
players is Charles Dunning, who
gives a standaut performance as an old man who falls for Dorothy.
Also commendable is Bill Murray
as Hoffman's roommate.
Well, there it is, folks. Tootsie is one of the best films of the
1982-83 season. But don't take
my word for it, just ask anyone
else who has seen it. I'm not sure, but I think they'd probably agree.

In addition to teaching govern-

shoulders an important load of

movie review
Newman brilliant as loser in by Peter Carr
Sidney Lumet's The Verdict
is an intensely dramatic presenta-
tion with a stellar cast including
Paul Newrnan, Jack Warden and
James Mason.
The picture centers around
Frank Galvin (Paul Newrnan), an unsuccessful attorney who gradu-
ated first in his class from Boston
College. Galvin drinks, plays pin-
ball and smashes his office to
pieces for kicks.
The loser receives a perfect
case f-om his retired partner,
Mickey Morrissey (Jack Warden)
that promises an end to Galvin's
losing streak.
The case involves a woman in
a permanent coma from a routine
child deliveIy.
The erring hospital is run by
the very wealthy, extremely
powerful Archdiocese of Boston,
and the Bishop favors settling the
matter out of court by offering
the woman's family a sizeable
sum of money.
Frank Galvin, however, smells
blatant malpractice and decides to
battle the institution in court.
Very heroic, but very foolish.
The rest of the film deals with
the systematic destruction of
Galvin's life.
Murphy's law takes over, and
Galvin's case seems hopeless. The
judge hates Frank. The poor
attorney's star witness disappears.
Even his new love, Laura
Fischer (Charlotte Rampling)
turns out to be something dread-
January 14,1983
Having grown up in the Cleveland
area he says, "I've just become
used to the fmstrations. It is just
one of those givens in life that the
Indians will fmish next to last
every year. But my friends I still
associate with in Elyria (west of
Cleveland) keep me going back."
Dowling enjoys listening to
music whenever possl%le, and he
says the type of music depends
on his mood. Although his inter-
ests center mostly around rock,
he enjoys jazz and classical music
occasionally.
"I like The Doors, early Who,
early Stones, the Doobies, .Steely
Dan, and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and
Young. It mostly depends how I
feel; some mornings I wake up
and want to hear Joni Mitchell and sometimes I want to hear the
Moody Blues."
Dowling feels his greatest
strengths are in comniunication,
but he realizes it is difficult to
establish contacts with students.
"I suppose most students
don't really know me - only the
ones who take the time to find
out That's why I enjoy being
involved in organizations. I t gives
me the chance to know others,
and they can see me in something
besides the business atmosphere.
"You might say I'm laid-back.
I'm not as gregarious as I suppose
I could be. Thats because it takes
me a while to feel comfortable
around others. But I do think I
am someone who is very con-
cerned and caring."
You can't argue with that.
Just as long as Mary AM gets the
lead billing over Ransom.
'The Verdict' fully unexpected. Our faith in
the American court system is
obliterated as Galvin's opponent
Ed Concannon (James Mason)
makes use of unethical means to
win the case.
If The Verdict has a flaw, it originates from its depressing
tone. Of course this tone is in- tended, but I seriously con-
sidered leaving the theatre mid-
way because I got so depressed.
The entire picture is dark.
The colors are mainly brown and
black to emphasize the doom.
The image of the loser is bril-
liantly performed by Newman
causing an amazing experience of
pathos.
I strongly urge you to pay the
$4.00 to find out what happens.

Ever wonder where words like

twisted these nice little words into such perverse, foul phrases?
Chances are it's Jay McFar-

In fact, Jay maintains, "the pur-

Jay descriies himself as "just

Fish does seem to have a - well - different reputation. That's all
changed though, at least accord-

disc review CHIEFTAIN
Garcia releases Dead-Head's mine by Peter Carr
Well, the trip gets longer and stranger; Jerry Garcia of the
Grateful Dead has once again re-
leased a solo album that has
escaped the eyes of the world.
Run For the Roses won't ever
hit the charts, but then again,
none of the Dead's albums ever
have. This lack of public approval
isn't necessarily indicative of the
album's worth.
Run For the Roses is a decent
album with a distinct Garciaesque
flavor.
This side opens with the title
track - a nice little upbeat number
with plenty . of Garcia's trade-
mark underwater-sounding guitar
licks. This tune does lack a bit in lyrical quality though.
The next number is Lennon &
McCartney's "I saw her Standing
There," and Jerry does it as only
the lead guitarist for the Dead could. Beatle fans will probably
despise this cut, for Garcia slowed the tempo, mellowed the vocals
and even stuck in a beautiful slide
guitar solo.
Song three on this side, "Without Love," is a trademark
Dead ballad comparable to the
older "Ship of Fools." Garcia is backed by the hip Me11 Saunders
on organ and even a horn section
headed by Roger Neuman.
The best tune on the disk, "Midnight Getaway," closes this
side. "Getaway" is a rather long song with plenty of acoustic
guitar work much like that found
on Reckoning.
That side isn't quite as strong
as this side. It opens with two fairly uneventful blues tunes. However, the final number on
that side is a hot version of Bob
Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's
Door."
This tune has been a favorite of audiences at Garcia concerts
for quite some time, and I am
pleased to see its transition to
January 14,1983 vinyl. Liz Stires joins in to add some lovely vocal touches.
One thing must be noted when listening to any Dead album. The Grateful Dead are not a studio
band; they are a concert band. What other group has over seven
live releases?
So, if a studio disk doesn't
seem to come to life on your
stereo, just see the band in con-
cert. Those same numbers that couldn't quite do it at home often
explode into melodies of excite-
ment on the stage.
Run For the Roses is no
master of sound technique. All of
the songs, however, have signifi-
cant stage potential and will thus
only be appreciated by Dead
Heads. Roses is a fine indication that
o k Captain Trips is alive and well. - -

movie review CHIEFTAIN
'Tootsie' goes down as 'must see' - by Gus Gordon
Every once in a while a movie
comes along which I'd call a
"must see" movie. "Must see"
movies are movies that I greatly
enjoyed and would recommend
vigorously to others.
Among my list of "must see"
movies would be Blazing Saddles,
I Airplane, E. T., and now I must add a new one, Tootsie. Tootsie,
in my opinion, is destined to be-
come a classic motion picture. I would have to place Tootsie
in the same category with the
classic Marilyn Monroe film Some Like it Hot. As some of you may
recall, Some Like it Hot is about two out of work musicians who
witness the St. Valentine's Day
Massacre and must join an allgirls
band, in drag, to excape the gang-
sters.
In Toorsie Dustin Hoffman 1s forced into female clothes, be-
cause his only alternative is star-
vation. But that is where the
similarity ends.
Some Like it Hot was a farce
and it was obvious that the two
guys were just that: two guys.
But in Tootsie the matter is
treated a little more seriously. In
one of the most incredible meta-
morphoses I've ever seen in a
movie, Dustin Hoffman actually
becomes a female.
Hoffman plays Michael
Dorsey, an out of work actor who
is desperately looking for a job. As his agent (the film's director,
Sydney Pollack) tells him, he
can't get work because of his
terrible temper. No one will hire

After - having taken a short
sabbatical, brought on by a severe
and prolonged state of mental
stand-still, Puzzle Bag is back! There is, however, some dis-
mal news for logic lovers who
don't like numbers. I stumbled
upon some interesting algebraic
applications recently, and I sim-
ply could not resist the temp-
tation to make a mathematical
puzzle out of some of them.
Maybe next time we'll get
back to just plain common sense.
WHAT AM I THINKING?
I am thinking of a three digit
number, x. The three digits are
a, b, and c, going from left t o
right. If c is divided into x, there
is a remainder of 3.
If c is divided into x squared,
the remainder will be 2. If x is di-
vided by 3, 3 will also be left
over, while the division of b into
x cubed will leave a remainder of 3 as well. The quotient of x/a
x to the fourthla will leave a
remainder of 1. Also, the number 10a + by
when divided by c, will leave the
remainder 1. From these clues, derive x. Also, find the smallest
number which, when divided by
c, b, and a will leave 3, 3, and 5 respectively.
ANSWER TO WHAT
AM I THINKING?
This problem is based on one
of many algabraic facts about
remainders. The trick is most simply stated as follows: if the
quotient x/y has a remainder of z,
then the quotient x to the n/y
will leave the same remainder as
the quotient.
Applying this to the problem,
c must be greater than 3, and it must be a factor of (9 - 2), or 7. Since 7 is prime, c must be 7. B
must be greater than 3 and a fac-

disc review
'Distance' ioins a y ~ ~ ~ . l a
First of al l let's get one thing
straight: I did not buy Bob
Seger's new album The Distance,
but Elbie Herman said I could
borrow his, (he hadn't listened to
i t yet) so I did.
I have never r d y paid much
attention to anything by Bob
Seger, although I did go to his
concert in Cincinnati in 1980 (it
other canines was in a friend's box, now could I say no?). After listening to this
album, I remembered why.
You see, all Bob Seger's songs mund the same - 12-bar honky
to& bhes. This song style wears
thin pretty quick. How many
times can Mr. Seger yell and yelp
on one album before it l o s s its

him as Michael Dorsey, so he dons
female attire and finds a job o n a h a p opera -as Dorothy Michaels.
In no time at all, Dorothy be-
comes the admiration of millions, including the show's female star, Jessica Lange. Michael falls in love
with a gul, who is in turn in love with the show's lecherous direc-
tor, Dabney Coleman.
To make matters worse, the
girl's father, Charles Dunning, and
the male star of the show both
fall in love with Dorothy. And
thus begins this hilarious adven-
ture in mistaken identity.
Dustin Hoffman gives the per-
formance of his career as Dorothy
Michaels. I know it might sound
ridiculous, but he is more con-
vincing as a female than he is as a
male. Maybe convincing isn't the
page 5 right word. The chancter of Michael is not a very app- one. He is obnoxious and t 3 ~
liked, a regular pain in the n d .
But the character of Dorothy
is very appealing. She is a person
all her own. Soon after he fust appears in drag, you forget that it's really just Dustin Hoffman
wearing a dress. He is totally
believable, and that's about the highest compliment you can pay
an actor.
But Hoffman's not alone. He is backed by a wonderful support-
ing cast. Chief among these
players is Charles Dunning, who
gives a standaut performance as an old man who falls for Dorothy.
Also commendable is Bill Murray
as Hoffman's roommate.
Well, there it is, folks. Tootsie is one of the best films of the
1982-83 season. But don't take
my word for it, just ask anyone
else who has seen it. I'm not sure, but I think they'd probably agree.

organizes Senior Search by Win Wells
Applications for the eleventh
annual Senior Search program will
be available today in the attend-
ance office.
The nine week program which
runs from April 4 to June 3, is de-
signed to give seniors a chance to
experience job situations in fields
in which they are planning to en-
ter. These students must meet
certain standards and require- ments before being eligible to par-
ticipate.
According to Mr. Gary Gellert, who is in charge of Senior Search,
eligible students must have at
least a C average in all classes for
the fust three quarters. In addi- tion, the student must have no
deficiencies in any one class or in
terms of attendance. He must
also secure the signatures of all
fourth quarter teachers and have
no unpaid fees 31 fines.
All applications for the pro- gram nlust be returned to the at-
tendance office by February 25.
When all applications are received
Gellert will review and study each
one before making a decision.
Gellert stated that he makes
sure that all requirements are met
and that the job situation is bene-
ficial to the student in terms of
his or her major. He also noted
that students taking Advanced Placement courses are discour-
aged from participating.
Students who qualify will be

Accelerated math classes
place high in competition by Rosemary Ward
Juniors and seniors enrolled in
accelerated math courses partici-
pated in the third in a series of six
tests designed by the Ohio Mathematics League last Tuesday
during third period.
The Ohio Math League is part
of a national organization whose goal is to compare various schools
throughout the state.
Mr. David Swisher who is
partly in charge of the testing at
Indian Hill stated that the tests
are designed to "increase interest
in the subject and to compare
with other students in the state
for math ability."
Presently there are 116 Ohio
schools participating. Based on
the results of two recent tests,
Indian Hill is in third place with
Chillacothee and Xavier High
Schools holding first and second
places respectively.
The students who have the highest scores at Indian Hill are
seniors Diane Remmell and
Lawrence Gallant. Both have
accumulated eleven out of twelve
possible points on the first two
tests.
Results from the test taken on
Tuesday, and the overall state
rankings, will be available within
the next few weeks.
notified by March 11. The final
weeks before April 4 will be spent
prep ,ing for the program, finish- ing un, ttended work in school,
and .ranging the final details
with their employers.
The students themselves must make the contacts and proper ar-
rangements with prospective em-
ployers before submitting an ap-
plication. The employer cannot be a member of the student's irn-
mediate family.
Besides the above requirement
the student and his employer has
several responsibilities. The stu-
dent is not allowed to be paid for
his services, he must be prompt,
and he must follow IH's attend-
ance policy.
January 14,1983
The student must work at
least six hours a day, and he must
keep track of his experiences in a
daily log. In addition, each par-
t i c i ~ int must attend two seminars
and vrite a research paper dealing
with his expe. lences and objec-
tives in the program.
Students will be graded on
their participation in the program
by the daily log, the research pa-
per, and an employer's evaluation.
Gellert will grade students using
the pass-fail system.
Gellert feels quite optomistic
about Senior Search, now enter-
ing its eleventh year of refme-
ment. He feels that the students
who participate in the program
come back with much knowledge
concerning many diverse job
fields.

sisted of a boar spear, a sporting crossbow, and several pistols and
swords. In the Tournament sec-
tion, the main feature. was a full size mock-up of a knight in joust-
ing m o u r on his warhorse. This armour, which was de-
signed to take a blow from a lance
with the momentum of mother knight and horse behind it, was the heaviest made and usually weighed weil over one hundred pounds. It was far too heavy to
be used in war because the knight,
if dismounted, would have fallen prey to the quick, unarmoured infantry.
Special armour was worn by
the knights for foot combat. The Royal Court features the armour that young Henry VIII used for
"friendly foot combat with axes."
This suit of armour serves as a good example of the skill of the

was host to the first tour in the last 900 years of an exhibition of
arms and armour from the Tower
of London. The Tower of London, located
not surprisingly in London on the
Thames River, has a long and romantic history both as a prison
and as an arsenal of arms and
armour. The actual Tower, built in 1066 and known as the White
Tower, was originally intended to serve as a heavily fortified castle
for William the Conqueror. Thus, the Tower is actually a
conglomeration of buildings con- structed around the White Tower
by kings of Britain to accomodate
their larger courts as well as the growing amounts of military hard-
ware. The dungeons of the Tower were traditionally reserved for the
more important prisoners, such as Mary Queen of Scots.
In the early nineteenth cen-
tury, it was decided to convert the Tower's arsenal into a museum of arms and armour, with emphasis gradually shifting to the decorative aspects of weapons. Since then, the Tower
has become one of the most important collections of medieval weaponry in the world.
The exhibit, which ran from
October 9 to January 9, consisted of over 110 pieces chosen to re-
flect the development of arms and amour for both "protection" and
"personal adornment." The

Braves 5-5 but c hasing EHL by Kevin Walzer
Pressure and adversity have
killed many teams' seasons, but evidently not the freshman bas- ketball Braves. They have over- come pressure in a series of games
I to win four out of their last five
and even their record at 5-5. The Braves overcame five
technical fouls before the game
started and rallied to beat Love- land 36-25 on the Tigers home floor Tuesday. A statistician had
entered the wrong numbers to players' names in the score book, and the Braves were slapped with five technicals. The Tigers sank all five free throws and soon after the game started held a 7-2 lead, but the Braves came back to notch their fourth EHL win in five tries.
The Braves were led in scoring by Mike Cohen with 17 points,
' his season high. Erich Metzger added 11.
"We played fair the first half," said Coach Steve Thompson after the Braves' 43-41 overtime win over Turpin last Monday. The
Brave: were down 24-17 at the half,-but in the second half, they came to life, evening the score
against Turpin, who had edged them 35-34 earlier this year.
For the most part, the game
was close, but Turpin raced to an
11-point lead early in the third quarter. The Braves kept knock-
ing away and whittled it to one; from then on the game was a basket-for-basket trade off. Erich Metzger hit a 20-footer at the buzzer to tie the game at 39 and send the game into overtime.
Metzger had a field day , hitting eight of 18 shots and seven free
throws for 23 points, by far his best game of the season. Metzger also had a basket in the crucial overtime, while Andy Tucker had a clutch free throw and then a steal with three seconds left on the clock, to close the lid on Turpin. Mike Cohen also played a fine all-around game, getting ten points and doing well on the boards.
IH unleashed all the frustra- tions of a difficult season against Madeira, destroying the Mustangs,
38-19. It was frightening to see. The Braves tore into the Mustangs with a harassing man-to-man defense not seen in earlier games. "We worked hard in practice
perfecting t,he man-to-man, and it paid off," s%d Thompson.
In the first half, Madeira lit- erally could not even put the ball into play after scores, as a flurry
of backcourt steals led to a 18-9
Braves' first-half lead. The de- fense forced turnovers, rejected
shots, and generally crushed the spirit of the Mustangs. Madeira never staged even a resemblence
of a comeback against the
relatively small nine-point deficit. The difference between this
game and others, Thompson thought, was the defense. "I t
really paid off for us this game." 1:orward Bill Baumel thought it was "half them and half us. They were pretty good, as good as
Mariemont (who 1H edged 26-24 1,
but we were really up for the game."
A fiesty band of Braves gave Greenhills a battle before going down 40-30. Three starters and
one reserve were suspended for missing Christmas practices, so
Grey 1-'reudenburg, Dominic Brit-
ton, and Matt Mueller got the starting nods. This bunch was
down by ten at half, 25-15, but narrowed that to one at the clox
of the third, 27-26. However, as Thompson puts it, "We lost our
composure for a few minutes in the fourth," and Greenhills ran
off eight straight points to put a lid on the game.
Thompson had only praise for
his team following the loss.

editorial jobs. . - It's not Reaganomics, it's economics - pure and
Americans who criticize President Reagan for
creating today's 10.4% unemployment rate, the highest unemployment rate since the Great Depression, are
overlooking two simple economic facts: the law of supply and demand and the fact that inflation and
unemployment rates usually swing like a pendulum.
Last spring, Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volker began tightening up the money supply by raising
the discount rate above 16%. This in turn propor-
tionally raised the interest rate at which people
borrow money. Naturally, with an excessively high interest rate people borrowed less money and bought
less goods and services.
The law of supply and demand says that if demand
is decreased then supply will increase which will in turn result in a reduction in prices - i.e. - the inflation
rate. This is exactly what happened last year as the inflation rate plummetted from above 12% to its
present rate of below 5%. The obvious negative side of decreased inflation is increased unemployment. Those
people who are not borrowing money and demanding the goods and services are causing people to lose their
as I see it
Banning video games
by John Bergman One of the greatest crazes that
has swept the nation in the last
several years is video games. They have found their way into res-
taurants, shopping malls and arcades. Everyone seems to be
playing them.
I t is only natural that video games are now the topic of a
raging controversy; all other
popular things are, after all. This controversy centers around the
idea that the games might have a
detrimental effect on avid players,
or at least on their finances, and
argues that communities have a
responsibility to protect these
unfortunate souls.
Recently, several groups have
suggested that video arcades
should be banned. Some cities
have taken this step. Proponents
of banning base their arguments
on the simple issue of money and
the much more complicated one
of psychology.
The fanatical ramifications of the games are fairly obvious.
Avid video players can find them-
selves plunging quarter after
ue purpose quarter into the slot, without
much attention given to bud-
getary consequences. People in favor of banning will tell you that
some of these quarters were intended for lunch-money, or at
least could have been spent more
wisely.
The second issue is slightly more abstract. I have heard
psychologists use such terms as
arcadeaddiction. They say that
some players look for needed
security in the games. The arcade
is a place of escape from the real world, a world they should be
learning to deal with more effec-
tively.
Then there is the issue of
learning itself. People against
video games say that the most
that a video game can attempt to
develop in the player is handeye
coordination.
The last major argument that
the opponents of video games
tend to make relates to their ef-
fect on social behavior. They say
that the games separate a player
from his surroundings by bringing
simple. So which is worse: high unemployment or high
inflation? And can a median be reached? The answer, if it is obtainable, is to find a way to control both inflztion and unemployment at reasonable rates. The
possibility for finding a median is in the hands of the
President and Congress.
Recently, the signs of economic recovery from the
recession have surfaced. Construction and the housing
market are increasing, the interest rate is dropping, and
the stock market continues to flourish; all of these
seem to indicate economic recovery. With recovery
will come the demand for products which will neces-
sitate jobs which will in turn bring down the unem-
ployment rate. Consumer demand for goods and
services will increase but will this trigger runaway
double-digit inflation again? No one is saying for sure.
If Reagan pulls it off, he will undoubtedly come out
smelling like a rose. Perhaps Americans should give Reagan a chance and
"stay the course." Remember that many of those not
working are getting unemployment checks and welfare aid and are not starving. Reagan may not have all the answers, but he is trying and desperatly needs time for
his policies to be approved and take effect.
him into a totally mechanical
world. Some even go as far as to
say that the games encourage violence and destruction.
These are the reasons why
some people oppose video games. The j u ~ t ~ c a t i o n these people use
in arguing that video games be
banned is the same justification that people use when they want
anything banned. They firmly
believe that it is the responsibility
of the government to protect its
citizens.
Those of you who have read
some of my other columns already know that it is this last
conclusion that concerns me. I
have already expressed my views
about book-banning and politi-
cized art, and I must express that
same view here.
Video games essentially affect
one person, the player. Whether
or not the effect is positive is a
matter of academic debate. I
happen to believe that almost all
of the allegations against video
games are false, but this is not the
crucial point. The financial and psychological dilemma posed by
the games are matters which
should concern those who choose
to play the games, and possibly their parents.
In uuth, most players see the games as a pure and simple form
of entertainment. To them they
are no more detrimental than a game of golf or a crossword puz-
zle. If those fanatics who are
opposed to video games must fmd
something to ban, let them find
something important that affects
and, in some way, harms third
parties. Don't let them outlaw
what is, in reality, just another
form of amusement

Small numbers hurting Aquateam by Diane Remmell
Due primarily to a lack of
depth, the Indian Hill Aquateam,
under new coaches Chris Sigler
and Doc Holliday, has struggled
to an 0-4 start.
Holliday commented, "It's not
that we're lacking talent. We
simply have not got enough
people swimming. At a meet with
all of our swimmers, we only
swim in half of the races."
In the team's most recent loss,
the Aquabraves dropped a close
meet to Roger Bacon's boys'
team, 58-55, on January 7. The
squad lost despite triple wins by
junior Cliff Wingerter and senior
Dave Ackermann and good swims by senior Jim Koster and junior
Scott Lyon, who also placed first
in diving.
The Aquateam swam as a unit in its loss to Talawanda, Decem-
ber 16. The girls' team lost
68-41, while the boys' team, led
by triple wins by Wingerter, Ackermann, and Lyon, including
first place in diving, lost 54-47.
The Aquateam took another
loss against the Sycamore "B"
team on December 14. Both
Indian Hill teams, although taking
early leads, took a beating when
Sycamore called in their "A"
team halfway through the meet.
The girls, with triple wins by
Jennie Gardner, Diane Remmell,
and Beth Wingerter, lost the meet
63-50. The Braves, having some
close swims against Sycamore's
"A" team, were defeated, 73-42.
Both Indian Hill teams were
destroyed when they faced the
New Ricnmond team, which has
about three times as many
swimmers as Indian Hill. The girls
lost 64-33, and the boys lost
83-22. Gardner and Remmell captured triple wins, while Kos-
ter, one of only three boys at
the meet, took two events.
Despite these losses, the team
is looking forward to the com-
petitions coming up which will
culminate in the state champion-
ship. The girls, having taken a relay to state for the past four
years, have a good chance of taking the medley relay of
Remmell, Kris Brockman,
Wingerter, &d Sara Linquist to
the sectional and perhaps the
state level. The boys show talent
with Lyon, Ackermann, and Wingerter.
Madeira squeaker l i fts JV Braves by Brian Rowe
Winter break was no vaca-
tion for JV basketball coach Gary
Gellert; he was hard at work de-
vising a new offense. It apparent-
ly has paid off, as in 1983 the
Braves are undefeated, having
won their last four games.
Wednesday's victory over non-
league Turpin upped the Braves' record to 4-7. IH's previous de-
feats of Mariemont and Madeira
evened its league record at 3-3, good for third place behind
Sycamore and Madeira.
The team earned its first non-
league victory by putting Turpin
away, 44-32, Wednesday night.
The "Twin Towers," Curtis Ott
and Pete Seremetis, led the Braves
to their easy victory with 20 and
11 points, respectively.
The most exciting game was
the Braves' most recent league
game, a 55-53 win at Madeira,
January 7. In that game the
Braves jumped out to a 19-11 lead
in the first quarter, with Ott
scoring nine. Madeira closed the
gap slowly after the first half, but
with 1:30 to play, the Mustangs
took a one-point lead.
The Braves took it down the
court, and after 30 seconds, Mike
Wentz was fouled while shooting.
He calmly sank two free throws
despite the crowd's yelling, "Miss
it!" Madeira hurried the ball up
and guard Eric Berger hit on a 15-
foot lump shot.
With 15 seconds left, IH called
timeout, down by one point.
After inbounding, Wentz set up a play. A few passes later,
Seremetis had the ball in close
with four seconds left, put a shot
up, and was fouled. He went to the line and made one of two to
tie the score at 53-53. But after
he made the shots, the Madeira
bench was assessed a technical
foul for complaining too loudly.
David Stanforth made two foul
shots under pressure to put the
game away.
Tonight the JV Braves will
host Glen Este in a key league
showdown. A win could put IH in a tie for second place in the
EHL.
Cooke's young Squaws short on height by Ellen Alvord
The JV girls' basketball team,
plagued by youth and a lack of
height, has pushed off to a slow
2-8 start, with a league record of
2-5.
Explaining the team's record,
the team's coach, Miss Sharon
Cooke, states, "We are a very
young team, and we usually go up
against teams that are loaded with
sophomores, so our record really
doesn't indicate our skill level."
The team's most recent game,
an 18-12 loss to Glen Este last
Tuesday, definitely did not
demonstrate the team's potential.
However, it did exemplify the
team's basic problem: getting
points on the board.
Previous to that, the team
experienced a typical loss to
Madeira, 32-16, on January 6.
Again, scoring was Indian Hill's
major problem.
Surprisingly, after little prac-
tice, in their first game after
winter vacation, Indian Hill's JV
team came up with their second win, a 16-1 1 defeat of Mariemont,
January 4. The team's usual
strong defense was the chief con-
tributing factor of the win.
Before vacation, Indian Hill
had a long, tedious losing streak
against Loveland, 22-14, Milford,
54-9, Sycamore, 43-14, and
Greenhills, 3 2-21, resulting from
a combination of tough teams and
the Squaws' inability to score.
In the beginning of December,
in the third game of the season,
Indian Hill enjoyed its first wm.
The victim was Deer Park; but
again, the low score, 19-10, indi-
cated the amount of work ahead
for the Squaws
Previous to the Deer Park
game, Indian Hill fell to Wyom-
ing, 22-13, and Forest Park,
20-13. Cooke simply summed up
each game and the whole team in
one statement: "Our best aspect
is our man to man defense; our
shooting is weak."
The team's reliable point
guard, freshman Chris Hall, states,
Page 11 The Indian Hill Aquateam
consists of seven boys and seven
girls - just meeting the size re-
quirements for competition in the
state championships. Having lost
one senior girl last year, the Aqua-
team has picked up two freshmen
swimmers.
The girls' team, led by co-
captains Gardner and Remmell,
also includes Kim McKirdy, Lori
Powers, Brockman, Linquist, and
Wingerter.
The Braves are led by co-
captains Ackermann and Koster.
The rest of the team includes
Dave Kilday, Greg Morris, Lyon,
Wingerter and an Italian exchange
student.
Head coach Sigler, also the
present coach for Country Day's team, stated, "I enjoy coaching
Indian Hill. While we are a small
squad, we have the ability to
compete well at the sectional, dis-
trict and state levels."
photo by Julie Gilsdorf Dave Stanforth anticipates the pass against Madeira.
"This has been a frustrating
season so far, but we're hoping to
at least get better." Indeed, mere
improvement seems to be the
team's main goal at this point.
On the other hand, many of
this year's freshmen show rnal potential. Kristin Mains, one of
the few tall people on the team, is
the Squaws' present leading
scorer, with a total of 52 points
thus far. Shari Zesch, another
talented guard, has the highest
foul shot percentage of the
Squaws.
Cooke also expressed good
hopes of future improvement.
"As we become more confident,
we should be able to turn our
record around."

reach Cincinnati this year, it s t e m s appropriate that this col- umn be devoted to some winter
outdoor activity. When January rolls around most lakes north of Cincinnati and even some in town are covered with ice thick enough to ice fish.
Of all fishermen, ice fishermen are the diehards. They're the ones who brave negative tempera- tures bundled in snowmobile suits, looking like eskimos. They're the lunatics one sees driving I;ord pickups over lakes like it was no big deal.
Are frostbitten toes and icy fingers worth a few slimy critters from the deep? To some they are. Many ice fishermen catch their limit of pike, bass, or blue-
giU in a short time. Almost all
most are sluggish. The cold water temperature slows down the fish's metabolism, so it feeds less.
Most ice fishermen use live
bait, which is more productive than artificial bait and easier to fish with. All one has to do is
throw a minnow on a hook with a
small sinker and relax. The only problem with this is that it isn't
fun dipping one's hand into a bucket of squirmy minnows in below freezing temperatures.
When fishing with live bait most ice fishermen use a device called a tip-up to tell when they have a strike. A tip-up consists of a small flag attached to the line so the flag pops up when a fish hits. Two sticks in the form of a cross over the hole support the flag.
In Michigan, where I do most
ties, which resemble the modem day Port-0-Lets. This is the luxurious way to ice fish. Most shantie? have two holes from which to fish and some even have built-in heaters. Since the shanty is dark, one can look into the hole and see the fish eating the min-
nows. Usually visability is limited to twenty feet or so.
For most ice fishermen, shanties are the most fun way to
fish. Seeing the fish swim up to the minnow, then turn away at the last minute is frustrating but
also fun. Unlike any other type
of fishing, in shanty fishing
one can see the fish's approach
and reaction to the bait. Shanties also provide an effective pro-
tection against brutal northern winds.
IH prospective student program informs
district of 1983-84 scholastic alternatives must learn to relate to al l people of all levels," stated Feltman.
Math department head Mr. David
The need for the program
stemmed from the ever increasing
problem of declining enrollment. The plain and simple facts are that there are as many as 700
children living in the Indian Hill school district who attend private or parochial schools and in the
last seven years Indian Hill's en- rollment has declined by about
500 students. High school principle Dr. Karl
Feltman raised the question: "Are people getting that much more
for their money from other schools?" He added that they
have to pay taxes and support Indian Hill anyway.
The problem facing many pro-
spective students is the stereotype that public schools lack quality
and discipline. Social Studies de-
partment coordinator Mr. Jim
Powers said, "Adults think public
schools are a stinking mess due to bad press. If parents got the mes-
sage (that schools aren't a mess)
the program was worthwhile."
Feltman and other administra- tors actually made the program to
allow people to judge the school
by its merits and not the fact that
it is a public school. "We have a very competative product and we offer the community their
school," said Feltman. "I'm all for it," said Mrs. Mor-
gan, head of the English depart-
ment. 'With more enrollemnt we can have a better curiculum, more classes to offer, and we can main-
tain our extracurricular program." "School is a place where you
learn to live with society and you
Swisher commented that "some
students in other public schools would be better off corn- t o
Indian Hill." After all of what has been
said, still another aspect to the declining enrollment problem re-
mains. There is a direct corolla-
tion between the number of stu-
dents and the number of teachers
in any school. "The administra- tion is doing a great deal to save
jobs for the teachers with the
program," said Language de- partment head Mrs. JoAnn Wund.
The bottom line is that the
administration hoped to show
Indian Hill's achievements, what it has to offer, and give the com- munity an equal schooling alter-
native before any decisions were
made for the 1983-84 year.
by Ron Zesch The high school conducted
what administrators call a "pro-
spective student program" last
night. The program was aimed at getting students from the IH dis-
trict who attend other high
schools to enroll 'at Indian Hill
High School. The program began with a
short introductory address high-
lighting the school's achievements
and then proceeded into a period which could be used as a question and answer session.
Questions were directed at the attending administrators, coun-
selors, department coordinators,
teachers, alumni, and students. Refreshments were served and
all in attendance were offered a
tour of the school's facilities.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the

overtime broke a 24-24 deadlock
to seal a hard-fought 26-24 win for IH against Mariemont on December 16. The Braves played a sloppy first half but kept the game tight, being down by only five, 20-15, at half. The Braves'
defense pulled together in the second half to allow no field goals.
The Warriors threatened to score with seconds remaining, but a block by Viox sent the game into overtime.
Commented Thompson, "We played a terrible furst half, but in the second we improved. We had some guys in foul trouble, so we used a zone to cut down on the fouls. Overall it was a sloppy win, but I 1 take it."
This win, coupled with wins against Loveland, Madeira and Sycamore, gives IH a 4-1 EHL record, chasing only the undefeated Milford Eagles; and as Baumel put it, despite their SO0 record, "All that matters is the EHL."

The Squaws did not have a model game in their 54-33 loss to Glen Este this past Tuesday. Pfirman summed up the game well: "We had a really bad day. We couldn't play together."
The much improved Squaws lost to the talented Madeira Amazons last Thursday, 51-30. The game was close for three quarters. After the frrst quarter, the score was tied at 6 4 , and even though the second quarter of play ended 18-12, the game was still
way too small. Now we feel much freer," Marsh said. The de- partment hopes to use the room for dinners in the future.
Besides the custodians' work,
the janitors also worked on many areas of the school. They
scrubbed and waxed all of the floors, cleaned the student service
center, changed lights, cleaned
windows and worked to improve
the heating system in the school. A new darkroom for the
