Fishing and spring break are synonymous. Both mean relaxa-

tion, whether it be on the beaches

of Florida or on the shores of

Lake Michigan. Whether one goes south,

north, or stays at home, spring-

time offers some of the year's

best fishing. Of course, some

basic knowledge of the water and

of the fishing techniques is

needed for success in any area.

Since the majority of IHers are

headed down to Florida, I will

dwell upon the excellent fishing

opportunities that exist in the

southern states. As March ends,

many of the southern inland lakes

provide excellent largemouth bass

fishing. One does not need to

own one's own plantation to get

in on the action at many popular

resorts like Kiawah Island or

Hilton Head Island, which con-

tain plenty of bass and, unfortunately, plenty of alligators too.

The most productive baits in

such ponds are artificial baits

which resemble the tiny shad. These lures can be purchased in

a variety of sizes and color com-

binations. Some have a large plastic lip in front of the bait which

causes the bait to run deeper.

Topwater lures like the Jitterbug are also productive in the late

evening and early morning.

If one wishes to get away from

land and do some saltwater fish-

ing, I recommend bonefishing.

The bonefish is a shallow water

feeder that is shaped and swims

like a bullet. He is considered one

of the most difficult fish to hook,

let alone land. Many southern

resorts offer bonefishing guides

for a fair price; and believe me,

it is worth it.

Bonefish feed on shrimp and

other tiny crustaceans along shal-

low mud flats. They are very spooky, so long casts are needed.

They often travel in schools, so

if one fish is scared, the whole

school swims away.

Stripping 100 yards of line in one run is not uncommon for

these aggressive fish. Normally it

takes fifteen to thirty minutes to land one. Once boated, bonefish

should be released unless they

are going to be mounted because

they are not good to eat. Besides bonefish, many other

saltwater gamefish are available to

the deep-sea fisherman. Grouper,

barracuda, and sea bass are a few

that are commonly caught.

Again, the best bet for success lies

with a guide. The most common

bait for this offshore fishing is the

ballyhoo, a six-inch or longer bait-

fish common to the saltwater

depths.

For the man who is seeking

the ultimate challenge, charter

boats go out every day for marlin

and dolphin. This summer, I was

lucky enough to try this, and it is

a blast. The boats trail four or

more artificial flies which hop

enough to be going to Florida,

Lake Michigan offers excellent steelhead fishing this time of

year. Four to twelve pound fish

are taken mostly at spawn as they run the rivers to spawn. Excellent

brown trout fishing is also avail-

able on Lake Michigan as the water warms.

If you are not travelling this

spring break, you might want to

relax, fishing around Cincinnati.

This is the time of year when area

paylakes stock trout by the truck-

full. The most relaxing way to

fish these paylakes is to fish live

minnows below a bobber. All

you need to do is sit back and

soak up the air. Enjoy your

break.

Each band competing last weekend was classified as either AA, A, B, C or D. Indian Hill entered the class A competition.

Mr. Steve Strider, band director,

stated that this A ranking was a

difficult class; AA rank is reserved

for schools such as Princeton and

Mt. Healthy, the only AA bands

in the area.

The district competition was

broken into two major areas:

performance and sight reading.

For sight reading the band had to

play a piece of music which they

had never before played.

The responses to the survey on

teacher evaluation which were

quoted in your issue of March 1 1,

1983 included several statements

which are not accurate.

As chairman of the commit-

tee which was charged with the

duty of revising the teacher evalu-

ation system, I would like to offer

some pertinent information con-

cerning the revision process.

The basic purpose of revising

the evaluation program was to en-

hance the educational opportuni-

ties for our pupils by providing an

improved teaching staff. Many of

the suggestions offered by the

teacher members of this commit-

tee were incorporated in the final

version of the evaluation guideline

teachers, since it added two

months to their time for observa-

tion by an evaluator, and to their

opportunities for demonstrating

improved performance. The re-

vised evaluation period also brings

our program into better com-

pliance with provisions of state

law.

A related change which was

accepted by the teachers on the

committee was the delay of as-

signed improvement tasks for

tenured teachers to the following

year, which may allow the teacher

in question an additional year of

employment while these tasks are

being observed and evaluated.

The second administrative ad-

justment to the system was the

f

formance to be delayed by an

arbitrary rule.

The committee met a total of

14 times over a two-year period,

including two meetings in June,

1982 to which only three teacher

representatives came. These and

other related facts simply do not

This year the baseball Braves

years. "This year there is a com-

pletely different attitude. We are

willing to work, more serious, and

The strongest aspect of the

Braves' defense this year is defin-

itely the infield. Competition for

fighting for these positions are

Competition for first base will

also be tough. Four men are try-

ing for the position: Curtis Ott,

Dan Kremchek, John Knechtley,

and Dave Davis.

Overall the infield is not lack- ing at any position. "This infield

should be one of the most con-

sistent in recent Indian Hill

history," says Jim Arnold.

The outfield should follow

close behind the infield in defen-

sive ability. Seven players are

competing for the three available

starting positions. They are:

Kevin Froehlich, John Gennan-

tonio, Rob McVicker, Todd

Hock, Jim Morgan, Ott and Davis.

Because these players have close,

if not equal, defensive ability it

will be their offensive talents

which will determine the staters.

In the infield as well as the

outfield it will be the strongest

offensive players who start.

"Every player on the bench is capable of performing well on

defense. Therefore I have the

ability to shift the lineup from

Dowling.

Hills wins intramural tourney by Paul Monach

An intramural basketball team

from Oak Hills outlasted a field of

nine other teams from local high

schools to win the Bates Memorial

ment held last week in the Indian

IH's representative in the

tournament, Chili's Dawgs, won its first game before dropping two

to be eliminated from the tourna-

ment. Chili's Dawgs earned the

right to enter the tournament by

tournament.

Indian Hill in its fust match defeated the runner-up, McNich-

olas, 42-32. McNick remained iu the tournament, as did IH after its fust loss, because of the double

elimination system that was used.

Chili's Dawgs then lost a close

game to St. Xavier, 39-37. The Dawg were then knocked out of

the tourney at the hands of the

eventual victors by 12 points.

Junior Kevin Ertel, IH's bad-

ing scorer for the three games, commented, "We played well in the fust game against McNick, but

after that we got some bad

breaks against St. X, and we were

outplayed by Oak Hills."

insisted the coach. "You have to learn to rebound and develop some resilience rather than sulk about a loss."

Faust faced two major changes while discovering the differences between coaching at the high school and college levels.

"I think I was too easy on the players the first year. I thought that because they were in college they would be more mature auto-

matically. I had to find a strong

but fair discipline. "The other big difference is

that I can't actively coach as

much here. With all the assistant coaches we have here, I find my

job is more to oversee everything.

At Moeller I really got more of a

chance to teach."

Faust is hoping that more

pieces will fall together for the

Fighting Irish in 1983, keeping in mind that "we didn't build Moel-

ler overnight. I'm an optimist. I think we will play much better if

we stay healthy this year."

Faust seems greatly content where he is now. When asked about college coaching two days before he accepted the Notre Dame job two years ago, Faust said Notre Dame would be the on-

ly college job he would ever con-

sider. Does it still hold true?

"Yes," he replied. "If I weren't here, I don't know what I would do." Then, with his familiar grin he added, "and I

hope I don't have t o deal with that problem."

by Kurt Dusterberg To those who are familiar with

Gerry Faust, it should come as no surprise that two years as head football coach at Notre Dame University has not changed him. The same grin, the same raspy voice, and the same attitudes that became Faust trademarks are still

intact at South Bend. The coach of the Fighting

Irish was in town on St. Patrick's Day taking care of business. En route from a meeting to a visit to

Moeller, Faust put his Moeller days in perspective.

"I love the place and everything it stands for," Faust praised.

"I don't really have a yearning to go back because I like the job I'm

in now. I have to consider Moel-

ler as a phase in my life, but it

was a very fruitful and positive one. I will never forget it or re-

gret anything about it." Nor will he likely forget about

the football program he built at Moeller. "I'm still very interes-

ted. I always want to see them

win," he said. Faust now sees the world from

golden domes but not through rose colored windows. It does not bother Faust to be lumped together with his legendary pre- decessors at Notre Dame.

"I do,nYt put myself into a group with (Knute) Rockne or

(Ara) Parsegian. They accomplished a lot with their own style. I'm just trying to do the best I

Faust is hoping his best gets

better this year in his third season as coach. After records of

5-6 and 5-4-1 in 1981 and 1982, Faust says he "can see the light at

the end of the tunnel.

"I'm not happy with the pro- gress we have made until now, but

this year and next I think we will

start to blossom."

In the Moeller years, blossom- ing was rarely a problem. Most of

Faust's teams were in full bloom as evidenced by his five state

championships. Just because

Faust has not had the success in the last two seasons that he had at Moeller does not mean he has learned to accept losing any better.

Having an appendage taped before a game or practice is not

the most exciting aspect of an athlete's routine. It would also

suffice to say that taping append-

ages before a game or practice is equally, if not more, unentertain-

ing. There are a few souls, however, who, if not absolutely loving it, do tolerate performing the necessary maintenance of athletes: the student trainers.

Begun four years ago by Ath- letic Director Carol Wehmann and experienced trainer Bill Taylor, the Athletic Training Program is dedicated to the treating and prevention of minor athletic-related injuries. The student trainers accomplish this through a number of methods, including

taping, icing, whirlpools, etc. Wehmann, who had performed

most of the training duties before

the present program was begun,

recruited a group of girls to help and to eventually take over these

duties. Wehmann enlisted the aid

Taylor holds one-and-a-half- hour classes each week for his twelve trainers to ensure their

capability in training. Currently,

students from Moeller and Syca- more are attending these classes as

these schools are beginning their own programs.

Besides their love for being around athletes, student trainers do what they're doing for a number of reasons. Head student trainer Katie McClorey sights her

Editor's note: Senior Tern Rosen

is referring to Dwight Poffen-

berger's March 1 I Way of the Woods column in which Poffen-

berger stated that hunters are not

cruel murderers of animals.

So you love nature, Dwight. I t is an admirable quality, I assure

you. Mr. Jim Arnold told us in

psychology class that there is a portion of your brain that con-

trols your ability t o love and hate, and when these two clash, a problem, mentally speaking, is not far off. To think of hunting as a game only adds t o my suspicion of hunters' mental instability.

To think of hunting as just a

game is only looking from the "superior human's" point of

view. Dwight explained hunting

in his last article as a game of "will against instinct."

I t is a game of will and in-

stinct, but played only by the desperate animal. The animal's

will to live leads him to follow his

instinct to escape the "nature loving" human's blow.

Dwight went on to further

explain the game aspect by com-

paring hunting t o a tennis match.

It is comparable, but only as long as one of the players is not equip-

ped with a racket.

The hunter seems to find a

thrill out of trying to meet the animal's natural instincts because

hunting is about as challenging as

taking candy from a baby. It's

just too easy!

If you love a challenge so much, Dwight, why don't you

stalk something that exemplifies

your superiority. The only way that this "game" can be considered competitive is ff you choose an adversary comparable in ability. The only worthy opponent t o

man, as far as I know, is man himself. How about hunting each otner, Dwight! Would you still feel the same way about getting

up at 4:00 a.m "to watch the sun rise" and know someone was ready to play his game on your

existence? ! What amazed me most about

Dwight's article in the last issue of

Chieftain was his need to ration-

alize his actions.

"Is i t not more cruel to have starving animals competing for a

limited food supply than to har-

vest them through hunting." It seems to me that animals have

in their knowledge and expertise.

As senior Marc LeVan comment-

ed, "I was in to be wrapped for football, and they know what

they're doing pretty well."

Football Coach Gene Brindise

Brindise, who did most of the taping for his players at Dayton Al-

ter, stated he is "pleased with the

cooperation and effort of the

trainers" and maintains they do *- 4

Fencers instruct by Win Wells

Five members from the Cin-

cinnati Fencing Club gave a

demonstration to the junior P.E.

classes, Friday, March 18.

The five members who

demonstrated their sport were

Gwen Wolfe, Andrew Pekarik,

Jeff Martin, Kevin Leoffler and

Mike Contadino. Wolfe, the coach

of the club, stressed that distance,

time, and speed are the three

important factors in fighting a match.

WoIfes a highly accomplished woman fencer is one of the five

women masters in the U.S. She took up fencing while living in

Mexico City where she joined the

Mexican Olympic team in 1970.

From there she participated in the

1972 Olympic Games where she

placed 23xd in a field of 165 op-

ponents. After the Olympics, she

fenced with the teams in Cuba,

France, Poland, Hungary, and

Germany. In 1975 Wolfe made it

to the semi~fmals in the Polish

National Open.

In addition she has participat-

ed in the Pan American games and

in the 'World Championship. Dur-

ing this last year, she came to

Cincinnati to coach young hope-

fuls at the Cincinnati Fencing Club.

Martin, an Ohio State sabre

gym classes fencer, recently won first place in

a Kentucky competition. Two beginners to the sport, Leoffler

and Contadino, whose fortes are

foil and epee fencing also con-

tributed to the demonstration.

The final member of the team, Pekarik, recently defected from

Hungary with his wife to come

and fence in the U.S. While there,

he ranked in the top of the sabre field. Wolfe said, "You'll be hear-

ing more about him as time goes

on." The members brought all

necessary equipment with them

so they could give a forty-five

minute sampling of the art of

fencing. The presentation includ-

ed a lecture on the types of fenc-

ing and one concerning the three

types of weapons involved. The

three types, foil, epee, and sabre,

were all incorporated in several

matches following the presenta-

tion.

The elaborate set-up for the

matches included the devices

needed for electrically monitored

fencing where a touch is deter-

mined through electric impulses.

The set-up included a metal fenc-

ing strip on which the fencers

maneuvered while fighting and a

machine which emitted a loud

beep and activated a small light

Tennis Braves Sycamore, EH by Craig Johnson

The boysy varsity tennis team, trying hard to better last year's

impressive 17-3 record, opens what has potential to be one of its

best seasons ever this afternoon

against Westerville in Columbus, Ohio.

Also this weekend, the Braves

will be participating in the Medina

InvitationaL Last year the team brought home the Consolation

Tournament trophy in that tourney as well as a second place

finish in the EHL. Improving

upon that second place finish is one of the major goals of this

year's team. To achieve their

goals, the players realized that they have to be in top playing

condition early in the season. The recent poor weather has

forced cancellation of many after-

school practices. On the first

official day of practice, it was a

cold 30 degrees and it was snow-

ing. Head coach David Swisher

realized that with the Medina

Classic coming up in less than

three weeks .and the Sycamore

disc review

match in less than fwe, the team

had to get more practice in. "We needed to get some extra prac-

tices and the idea of pre-school

practice was a good one." He announced that starting

March 13 the team would begin

having pre-school practice indoors

as well as after-school practice outdoors. This meant getting 13

sleepy players, including three seniors, up at 5: 15 a.m.! How-

ever, the team as a whole felt that

they were both helpful and neces-

sary. Sophomore Brad McCurdy

said, "The practices were helpful

because we needed to get ready

for the season."

In order to win the league, the

Braves are going to have to play well early in the season. For the

past three seasons, IH has lost the

EHL title on the final day of

league play. Senior captain Bi

Skidmore relayed his concern about beating Sycamore when he

said, "This is my last chance to beat Sycamore. If the only thing

we accomplish this year is beating

Sycamore, I'll be satisfied."

When asked how he felt about

the team's schedule, Skidmore

commented, "Improving upon

last year's 17-3 record will be tough to do. The difference will be in our ability to win or lose the

3-2 matches."

Swisher also had something to say about the schedule. "There is no doubt it is a tough schedule.

The majority of difficult oppon-

ents are scheduled in April. One

thing is for sure, April will tell the

story."

This year the Braves will be

playing teams from Columbus as

well as from Cincinnati Top

teams from Cincinnati include

Elder, Lakota, Walnut Hills and

Sycamore. IH will also play two

Columbus teams, Columbus

Academy and Westerville.

The match with Sycamore will

take place Thursday, April 14, at

Sycamore. The team will be out to avenge last year's 3-2 loss, in

which all the Braves' singles play-

ers were defeated. The Braves

should have a much improved

chance this year. One major rea-

son for this is that the Braves have six returning lettermen. This

Quality shot down by reverb in U2's 'War' by John LiUy

It would be nice if once, just

once, U2 would cut a tune on

which they had not cranked the

reverb up all the way.

Don't misunderstand; these

four Irish lads play good songs

with interesting melodies and sin-

cere (if at times unremarkable)

lyrics about love and war. But

they always sound like they're

playing in the world's largest and

most sound-reflective bathroom.

It's quite a shame, too. With

their growing technical command, U2 could sound amazingly crisp.

If they would only unleash

drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. and

guitarist The Edge from the kind of smeary, confining production

which has marred all of their work up to this point, their songs

would take on an infinitely more

vivid sound. Certainly none of

that echo is necessary to bring out

the best qualities of singer Vox

Bono's powerful tenor.

Unfortunatly, U2 (and pro-

ducer Steve Lillywhite) should

again be shot for producing each

and every one of the ten tracks on

their new album W a r in the man-

ner to which they have grown ac-

customed. They really wreck the

music.

Take, for instance, "Sunday

Bloody Sunday," the first song on

War. It opens auspiciously

enough; Larry Mullen is doing his

characteristic hi-hat work. And,

"What's this?" you ask, "No

reverb? Did I pick up the right

record?" You panic until the

loud guitar wails and electronic-

ally-enhanced crash cymbals kick

in. "Oh, thank God!" you sigh,

wiping your brow in relief.

Well, never you fret. U2 have

miscalculated in the mix on all

but a few of the songs here. (The

anthematic production is appropriate for only three or four of

them.)

"Seconds" wants desperately

to be a funky tune, but can't

escape from the technological

quagmire. The next two songs on

the first side, however, are to be

commended; twice in a row the

band scores with the rhythm-

heavy sound, simply because it is

musically appropriate here.

"New Year's Day," the first of

this pair, is, lyrically speaking,

one of the most sophisticated

songs U2 have ever played. On

the surface, it is a simple love

ballad; but it becomes apparent

m the final verse that the band is

more concerned with the real

effects of politics on people.

"And so we are told this is the

golden age," they comment

wryly, "And gold is the reason for

the wars we wage."

"Like a Song . . ." is so cap-

tivating that it leaps off the vinyl

as a success for U2. Their musical techniques pay off here, and they

make their most cohesive state-

ment of political belief. "I won't

let others live in hell/As we divide

against each other." Considering the band's background in strife-

ridden Ireland, that is a power-

fully pacifistic message.

The side's final song, unfor-

tunately, is as bad as its prede- cessor is good. "Drowning Man''

doesn't make it because it-sounds

sloppy. That's about all there is to say.

Side two starts well with the percussive "The Refugee." A

couple of ironic lines make this

song interesting. (Regarding the

refugee: "Someday she's gonna

live in America." Her dreams will

come true then, I guess.) Again, though, a nagging guitar smear

detracts from the overall world-

funk musical aura.

year the team has added several

juniors as well as freshman Andy

Tucker. Following Westervine and

Medina, the Braves will battle Middletown in their first home

match. A ~ r i l 5 at 4: 00.

Senior and team captain Bi Skid-

more will try to lead the tennis

team to the EHL crown

"Two Hearts Beat as One" is

good. They didn't mess it up.

"Red Light" is visceral wailing

with backup vocals and very little

in the way of a message, either

musical or lyrical.

Again on "Surrender," Lilly-

white buries Bono's voice, which

may or may not be appropriate.

Something's wrong with the

words here; either they aren't

very good or I don't understand

them. At any rate, I am unquali-

fied to make any cute comments

about the song in general.

"40," the record's last tune, is

an apt conclusion. It is a slow, pensive cut (not U2's usual forte),

and the omnipresent echoes don't

destroy it. Lyrically, "40" is a

reiteration of a line from the

album's fust song, "Sunday

Bloody Sunday." "How long, how long must we sing this

song?" Bono asks, and his voice

conveys genuine melancholy.

Looking over this review, I

notice that it may dwell too much

on War's main weakness, its

production. It is an enjoyable and thought-provoking album,

and I would recommend it highly.

But it is flawed where it could be

truly great.

I just wish someone would fire

the producer; that's all.

tones hurt by Peter Carr

Know the facts. Stone throwing, a lunchtime pastime, is ra- pidly developing into a destruc- tive force destined to topple local educational institutions should the activity proceed unchecked. Stone throwing is only bested by

drugs and alcohol in its awesome detrimental potential, but the hideous sin remains that lunchtime stone throwing is relatively legal for minors unlike the use of drugs and/or alcoholic beverages.

Consider this scenario: a group of idle students are outside enjoying a spell of good weather. I t may appear on the surface to be an utterly harmless occurrence, but all too soon these idle students abuse their privilege, not their right, mind you, to spend part of 5th period under the sun by picking up small pebbles found in the area and maliciously hurling them at specific targets.

The vast potential for utter an- nihilation is frightening.

Take, for example, a case in which student Y is an undetected carrier of some deadly disease like leprosy. Now Y is a shy loner

and, as a result, hasn't infected anyone. Unfortunately, Y de-

cides to indulge in the activity of stone throwing.

Student Z is about 30 feet

away gabbing away at an incred- ible rate, as usual. Y hurls a newly-infected stone in the vicin-

ity of Z. Z's mouth is open, and Y's stone enters the digestive tract, immediately spreading deadly leprosy throughout Z's vulnerable body.

The popular, talkative Z now comes into contact with many

ROO, from p. 7

other students. In a few weeks, the majority of these students are dead, and all because of stone throwing. Why, Y, Z and other infected individuals could cripple the entire community!

So much for the possible personal damage created by stone throwing. Property damage must also be considered when properly assessing the dangers of stone throwing.

Consider the pretty girl spend- ing her lunchtimes in the combat zone of stones. She, perhaps, is the most frequent target. For

nearly thirty minutes, persons are hurling small rocks that get trapped in her shirt, pockets, and

pants. Then, right before class, she stops at the restroom. All of those dangerous pebbles inevit-

ably end up in the toilet. In a matter of hours, the entire plumb- ing system of the school is de-

stroyed, and we have a monstrous flood on our hands. Being optimistic, I assume that the students and faculty are evacu- ated before anyone drowns. However, the building is gutted by water damage, and all of the laboratory mice in the science wing die from a lack of oxygen. An entire school building is de- stroyed by stone throwing.

The immediate dangers of stone throwing are so obvious. So why don't people stop? Well, stone throwers see no damage done to themselves. As a result, they continue projecting these perilous pebbles.

Where does the answer Lie?

Three possible solutions exist. One solution would be to abolish the outdoor privilege. The admin-

istration must take a definitive

the south somewhere. "I want to study pre-law."

After college Rosemary will probably continue living in the

U.S., even though her "true home" will always be England. "There is so much more culture

in England, and the people seem to have different priorities. I really love the p e o a a n d life- style here, though."

It seems that for Rosemary, the future is a long way off. And for the present, she is content with living in the U.S., binging on chipped snake, and living up to

her reputation as "a bat out of hell."

step in ending the stone throwing

fiasco. To relieve student mm- plaints from such a harsh deter- rent, students would be allowed to loiter in the indoor garden during lunch. The beautiful foli-

age would calm the chaos, and the stones on the garden floor are

glued down, I think. A better solution, however,

would be to force students to a sense of awareness on the dangers of throwing stones. It has be-

come apparent that stone throwing is a result of peer pressure. Mandatory group meetings of an

organhation like Students And Teachers Against Nasty Stones (S.A.T.A.N.S.) could phase out peer pressure and the stone throwing problem itself.

MIKE, from p. 7 has learned a lot about people and the facades they put up. "I hate it when a person is nice and sin- cere but then, when they're in a goup, they act totally different," Mike maintains.

Concerning his musical de- lights, Mike holds out for jazz

fusion. He used to be a hard- core rock-n-roller but now he's into "more tasty stuff.'' Besides

listening to music, Mike also plays the drums. "It's a perfect little outlet."

Another little outlet for Mike, or "Bay" as he is also called, will be Ft. Lauderdale. As you read these words, Bay and his buddies are driving south in pursuit of sun, sand, and other special en- deavors. "We're going to do some partying," Mike predicts.

would be for the administration to pass a rule that all prosecuted stone throwers face an immediate expulsion. Stone throwing would instantly become a thing of the past, and we could all enjoy beautiful spring weather without the omnipresent threat of annihi- lation looming over our heads.

Besides, Kravetz ' article was even longer, and what business does a high school newspaper have poking its nose in Israel's or any

other foreign country's affairs? Stone throwing damage directly

Mike is unsure as to what he wants to study, or for that mat-

Looking back, Mike has no major regrets. He's a gifted athlete, playing defensive halfback for the football team this fall. He's also played rugby, and is now running track.

This winter, however, Mike

was a real Mo Facquer. That is, he played intramural basketball for the Mo Facquers. Mike was

indeed a contributing facquer in the team's advancement to the

disc review

Townshend by Bi Skidmore

Peter Townshend's new

Scoop is certainly not ordinary. Scoop is a collection of demos spanning a period from 1964 to the present. Many of the songs

are personal, while others are merely whimsical.

Most of the songs on the two records are soft and delicate. Black Sabbath fans, and even some Who fans, will hate it. Some of the demos were later made into Who songs - and classic

Who songs too. Nevertheless, this is not a Who album, but it is a chance to experience a part of

Townshend that is rarely seen by the public.

After listening to this album, I felt as if I had just had an all night talk session with him. The inti-

macy between the listener and Townshend is enhanced by the

absence of studio intervention and the personal nature of the tunes.

Finally, if this album is a fi- nancial success, look for a follow-

up. He states, "I have hundreds of such demos, this isn't meant to be a definitive collection - just a scoop."

The album begins with a song that is representative of the entire album. "So, Sad" consists of a soft guitar and Townshend alone. This song flows into the next cut, "Brr," an instrumental.

The first song done by The Who is next. Townshend's

"Squeeze Box" is different from the Who By Numbers version for

CHIEFTAIN

releases smooth 'Scoop ' two principle reasons. First of all, Townshend uses an accordion; and secondly, Townshend handles vocals instead of Roger Daltrey.

On this track, Townshend's voice is not as effective, although this is still a fun little tune.

"Zelda," the next demo, is an

interesting song that is extremely addictive. The cut has a peculiar

string sound that Townshend says is produced by "two viols, a baroque instrument that pre- ceeded the violin family."

Next, "Politician" is a wierd but good song that is a slight satire on politicians. That politician exclaims, "I know when I'm right, I know when I'm wrong." "Dirty Water" is an up tempo song with a country twinge. Kenny Jones plays drums and does a good job.

The second to last song on the side is my favorite track on the album. "Circles" is a fantastic love ballad. "Everything I dot1 think of you . . . Cireles there leading me back to you." The side concludes with a fun song,

"Piano: Tipperary." This is a minute-long song with a piano and what can only be described as "B'goks."

The second side opens with an

unused piece for Quadrophenia.

"Unused Piano: Quadrophenia" is a piano piece with a full and robust sound.

"Melancholia" is a fascinating tune that really conveys the melancholy that Townshend was

going through. He sings, "The

sun is shining, but not for me." "Bargain", a tune that showed

up on Who's Next, is the third song on the side. Townshend's rendition doesn't measure up t o the Who version. He lacks the electricity the Who's Next track had.

"Popular" is the best song on the side. The chorus in "Popular"

was later used in a great song - "It's Hard." However, "Popular" is even better than "It's Hard," as Townshend's voice is more suited

to the song than Daltry's. Also, Townshend shows off his fine guitar playing in "Popular."

"Behind Blue Eyes" wraps up the side. This track was later used on Who's Next, and Townshend's

version is neither better nor

worse, just different.

"Magic Bus" is the first song on the third side. I like Town- shend's version better than The

Who's, but to be honest, after listening to both, I am not sure why. "Cache, Cache" is another Who song that showed up o n

Face Dances. Both versions are effective, but the Scoop version is a little bit better.

"Cookin" is a simple, slow

song. Townshend explains, "I didn't know how much I loved

you till I did the cookin'." It is not the best song, but it is decent. "You're So Clever" is a different

cut, but I had the same reaction - it's pretty good, but it is not a

classic. "Body Language" is the worst

song on the album. Townshend

Paw 5 talks with an instrumental background (which I don't like) just as in "People Stop Hurting

People" and "Communication" in

All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes. Fortunately, the song is less than two minutes. "Initial Machine Experiments" is a demo in which he is playing with a synthesizer.

"Mary" opens the fmal side of the album. It begins with a slow tempo, continues with a nice instrumental bridge, and emerges speeded up. It is an excellent piece. "Recorders" is certainly

a unique track. I t begins with the sound of gulls on the ocean. Then there are hollow tones made by a children's toy - a plastic whirling tube.

"Goin' Fishin"' is an excellent composition. It deals with Town- shend's abhorrence of fishing. His voice blends in perfectly with

song. "To Barney Kessel" is a song with what can only be d e

scribed as a Hawaian guitar. The song is extremely simple, but

effective. In "You Came Back," Town-

shend shows off his fantastic

voice. This is a very melodic track and one of the better ones

on the album. The album concludes with the

famous "Love Reign O'er Me."

This version is even better than the Quadrophenia version. I t is simplified, but the passion of the song seems to come through better in Townshend's rendition.

Scoop is a slippery-smooth- sounding album on which Town- shend explores himself and the world around him. This album is not for everyone, but it was well

worth the $9.00 plus tax that I paid for it.

Nichols denies hard guy charge by Kenneth N. Jones

In 1972, Gail Nichols graduat-

ed from Sycamore High School,

naive in the ways of the world.

The question: how in the world

did this innocent young lassie end

up in the attendance office of old

IH? To answer this question we

must delve into Mrs. Nichols'

shadowy urbanite past.

After her eventful graduation,

Mrs. Nichols attended the IBM

computer school, forseeing the

needs of a modern society. The

one thing she did not forsee was a

personal lack of money. There-

fore, she got a job with Fiber-

Glass-Evercoat of Blue Ash oper-

ating their "machine".

From there, she returned to

Sycamore High School

"They didn't pay me enough

money for all the hours I was put-

ting in." Mrs. Nichols soon quit

her job at Sycamore High School

for a far better life, a married life.

The lucky man was a law

student in Toledo and a 1971

graduate of Indian Hill High

School, Scott Nichols. The two

went on a blind date, and it was

love at first sight, a t least for her.

"I decided I was going to eventu-

ally marry him." The only prob-

lem was it took Scott another

three weeks to ask her out again,

their students.

That was 1976, and since then there have been two additions to

the Nichols family, Erin and Eli-

ot. "They're cute as a devil and

have curly hair like their father."

The Nichols' plan to enroll

their children in the Milford Montessori. "It is a half day of

Montessori, and a half day of day

care, but it is planned day care,

not just sticking the kids in a

room with someone baby-sitting."

Aside from her children, Mrs.

Nichols - has many other interest?.

,,.;IS. Nichols has been knnwn to practice her green thumb in a

small garden at their Milford

home. "I dream of having fresh

flowers every day." She had her

husband plant 185 bulbs in their

yard so there are flowers every-

where. "The only problem is that

they usually bloom while I'm

visiting my parents in Florida.

But for two weeks each spring,

my yard is beautiful."

She has been dancing since five

and giving dance instruction since

seventeen. "I always dreamed of

being a background dancer, but

they always want those people to

be of average height." Mrs.

Nichols has found that being

short is no disadvantage, "unless there is something on the top

Berg man unleashes mind-bender by John Bergman

Many of you who enjoy math-

ematical puzzles have probably

had frequent encounters with age-

problems. This class of puzzle is a

favorite of many recreational

mathematicians, because they

xombine the elementary arith-

matic concept of age, with the

more complex problem of chang-

ing variables. In general, the best

way to solve such problems is to

simplify them as much as pos-

sible.

No matter how complicated

the problem appears, it is at its

core a simple matter of arith-

matics. The puzzle that I present

here is an extremely typical

age-problem, in that sense. Good

Luck.

An Age-Old Problem

I am thinking of two boys

whom I shall call Fred and Joe.

The two boys have the same

date, but were born in different

years. Joe's present age is twice

as old as Fred was when Joe was

half as old as Fred will be when

Fred is three times as old as Joe

coming events

was when Joe was three times as

old as Fred. At present, their ages

add up to twenty-four. What are

their present ages?

Answer to

An Age- Old Problem

In solving any complicated

problem, i t is always best to map

out a plan of attack. Here I have

given you the sum of the boy's

ages, so one very good plan would

be to find the difference between

them. Now, among the givens, we

find the statement that at some

time in the past, Joe was three

times as old as Fred. Clearly,

Fred's age at that time could also

have been expressed as (J-F)/2.

By substituting this equation into

the above information, we can ob-

tain the new equation.

914 (J-F) = (J-F) + 512. Then after several more of

those good old-fashioned equa-

tion manipulations we all know

and love, we arrive a t the conclu-

sion that F= 315 times J, and if

(J+F)=twenty-four, then clearly

F=9, while J=15. That's all for

this week.

'Bat out of by Lisa Nicolas

To describe Rosemary Ward in

ten words or less would be diffi-

cult, and yet one description

seems to fit well. As Cam Cum-

mins says, "She's like a bat out of

hell."

Usually after sixth period,

Rosemary is working to live up to

her reputation as "a bat out of

hell" by driving her famous blue

Monte Carlo, more lovingly refer-

red to by Rosemary as "The

Hearse."

"I'm always playing the Fu-

neral March (on her musical

horn), and besides, the bloody

thing looks like a hearse."

When "Roo" isn't playing the

"Funeral March," she can be

found cranking her favorite

groups on her car stereo or her

"ghetto blaster." Most of her

favorite groups are English, and

they include the Jam, Adam Ant,

the Beatles, Yazoo, and ABC.

Rosemary, however, likes al-

most any type of music except

heavy jazz. "I can't stand it when

I hear people blowing away on a

trumpet or whatever and hitting

just random notes, or when you

get those fat wailing women. It

drives me insane!"

tones hurt by Peter Carr

Know the facts. Stone throwing, a lunchtime pastime, is ra- pidly developing into a destruc- tive force destined to topple local educational institutions should the activity proceed unchecked. Stone throwing is only bested by

drugs and alcohol in its awesome detrimental potential, but the hideous sin remains that lunchtime stone throwing is relatively legal for minors unlike the use of drugs and/or alcoholic beverages.

Consider this scenario: a group of idle students are outside enjoying a spell of good weather. I t may appear on the surface to be an utterly harmless occurrence, but all too soon these idle students abuse their privilege, not their right, mind you, to spend part of 5th period under the sun by picking up small pebbles found in the area and maliciously hurling them at specific targets.

The vast potential for utter an- nihilation is frightening.

Take, for example, a case in which student Y is an undetected carrier of some deadly disease like leprosy. Now Y is a shy loner

and, as a result, hasn't infected anyone. Unfortunately, Y de-

cides to indulge in the activity of stone throwing.

Student Z is about 30 feet

away gabbing away at an incred- ible rate, as usual. Y hurls a newly-infected stone in the vicin-

ity of Z. Z's mouth is open, and Y's stone enters the digestive tract, immediately spreading deadly leprosy throughout Z's vulnerable body.

The popular, talkative Z now comes into contact with many

ROO, from p. 7

other students. In a few weeks, the majority of these students are dead, and all because of stone throwing. Why, Y, Z and other infected individuals could cripple the entire community!

So much for the possible personal damage created by stone throwing. Property damage must also be considered when properly assessing the dangers of stone throwing.

Consider the pretty girl spend- ing her lunchtimes in the combat zone of stones. She, perhaps, is the most frequent target. For

nearly thirty minutes, persons are hurling small rocks that get trapped in her shirt, pockets, and

pants. Then, right before class, she stops at the restroom. All of those dangerous pebbles inevit-

ably end up in the toilet. In a matter of hours, the entire plumb- ing system of the school is de-

stroyed, and we have a monstrous flood on our hands. Being optimistic, I assume that the students and faculty are evacu- ated before anyone drowns. However, the building is gutted by water damage, and all of the laboratory mice in the science wing die from a lack of oxygen. An entire school building is de- stroyed by stone throwing.

The immediate dangers of stone throwing are so obvious. So why don't people stop? Well, stone throwers see no damage done to themselves. As a result, they continue projecting these perilous pebbles.

Where does the answer Lie?

Three possible solutions exist. One solution would be to abolish the outdoor privilege. The admin-

istration must take a definitive

the south somewhere. "I want to study pre-law."

After college Rosemary will probably continue living in the

U.S., even though her "true home" will always be England. "There is so much more culture

in England, and the people seem to have different priorities. I really love the p e o a a n d life- style here, though."

It seems that for Rosemary, the future is a long way off. And for the present, she is content with living in the U.S., binging on chipped snake, and living up to

her reputation as "a bat out of hell."

step in ending the stone throwing

fiasco. To relieve student mm- plaints from such a harsh deter- rent, students would be allowed to loiter in the indoor garden during lunch. The beautiful foli-

age would calm the chaos, and the stones on the garden floor are

glued down, I think. A better solution, however,

would be to force students to a sense of awareness on the dangers of throwing stones. It has be-

come apparent that stone throwing is a result of peer pressure. Mandatory group meetings of an

organhation like Students And Teachers Against Nasty Stones (S.A.T.A.N.S.) could phase out peer pressure and the stone throwing problem itself.

MIKE, from p. 7 has learned a lot about people and the facades they put up. "I hate it when a person is nice and sin- cere but then, when they're in a goup, they act totally different," Mike maintains.

Concerning his musical de- lights, Mike holds out for jazz

fusion. He used to be a hard- core rock-n-roller but now he's into "more tasty stuff.'' Besides

listening to music, Mike also plays the drums. "It's a perfect little outlet."

Another little outlet for Mike, or "Bay" as he is also called, will be Ft. Lauderdale. As you read these words, Bay and his buddies are driving south in pursuit of sun, sand, and other special en- deavors. "We're going to do some partying," Mike predicts.

March 25,1983 The best solution, however,

would be for the administration to pass a rule that all prosecuted stone throwers face an immediate expulsion. Stone throwing would instantly become a thing of the past, and we could all enjoy beautiful spring weather without the omnipresent threat of annihi- lation looming over our heads.

disc review

Townshend by Bi Skidmore

Peter Townshend's new

Scoop is certainly not ordinary. Scoop is a collection of demos spanning a period from 1964 to the present. Many of the songs

are personal, while others are merely whimsical.

Most of the songs on the two records are soft and delicate. Black Sabbath fans, and even some Who fans, will hate it. Some of the demos were later made into Who songs - and classic

Who songs too. Nevertheless, this is not a Who album, but it is a chance to experience a part of

Townshend that is rarely seen by the public.

After listening to this album, I felt as if I had just had an all night talk session with him. The inti-

macy between the listener and Townshend is enhanced by the

absence of studio intervention and the personal nature of the tunes.

Finally, if this album is a fi- nancial success, look for a follow-

up. He states, "I have hundreds of such demos, this isn't meant to be a definitive collection - just a scoop."

The album begins with a song that is representative of the entire album. "So, Sad" consists of a soft guitar and Townshend alone. This song flows into the next cut, "Brr," an instrumental.

The first song done by The Who is next. Townshend's

"Squeeze Box" is different from the Who By Numbers version for

CHIEFTAIN

releases smooth 'Scoop ' two principle reasons. First of all, Townshend uses an accordion; and secondly, Townshend handles vocals instead of Roger Daltrey.

On this track, Townshend's voice is not as effective, although this is still a fun little tune.

"Zelda," the next demo, is an

interesting song that is extremely addictive. The cut has a peculiar

string sound that Townshend says is produced by "two viols, a baroque instrument that pre- ceeded the violin family."

Next, "Politician" is a wierd but good song that is a slight satire on politicians. That politician exclaims, "I know when I'm right, I know when I'm wrong." "Dirty Water" is an up tempo song with a country twinge. Kenny Jones plays drums and does a good job.

The second to last song on the side is my favorite track on the album. "Circles" is a fantastic love ballad. "Everything I dot1 think of you . . . Cireles there leading me back to you." The side concludes with a fun song,

"Piano: Tipperary." This is a minute-long song with a piano and what can only be described as "B'goks."

The second side opens with an

unused piece for Quadrophenia.

"Unused Piano: Quadrophenia" is a piano piece with a full and robust sound.

"Melancholia" is a fascinating tune that really conveys the melancholy that Townshend was

going through. He sings, "The

sun is shining, but not for me." "Bargain", a tune that showed

up on Who's Next, is the third song on the side. Townshend's rendition doesn't measure up t o the Who version. He lacks the electricity the Who's Next track had.

"Popular" is the best song on the side. The chorus in "Popular"

was later used in a great song - "It's Hard." However, "Popular" is even better than "It's Hard," as Townshend's voice is more suited

to the song than Daltry's. Also, Townshend shows off his fine guitar playing in "Popular."

"Behind Blue Eyes" wraps up the side. This track was later used on Who's Next, and Townshend's

version is neither better nor

worse, just different.

"Magic Bus" is the first song on the third side. I like Town- shend's version better than The

Who's, but to be honest, after listening to both, I am not sure why. "Cache, Cache" is another Who song that showed up o n

Face Dances. Both versions are effective, but the Scoop version is a little bit better.

"Cookin" is a simple, slow

song. Townshend explains, "I didn't know how much I loved

you till I did the cookin'." It is not the best song, but it is decent. "You're So Clever" is a different

cut, but I had the same reaction - it's pretty good, but it is not a

classic. "Body Language" is the worst

song on the album. Townshend

Paw 5 talks with an instrumental background (which I don't like) just as in "People Stop Hurting

People" and "Communication" in

All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes. Fortunately, the song is less than two minutes. "Initial Machine Experiments" is a demo in which he is playing with a synthesizer.

"Mary" opens the fmal side of the album. It begins with a slow tempo, continues with a nice instrumental bridge, and emerges speeded up. It is an excellent piece. "Recorders" is certainly

a unique track. I t begins with the sound of gulls on the ocean. Then there are hollow tones made by a children's toy - a plastic whirling tube.

"Goin' Fishin"' is an excellent composition. It deals with Town- shend's abhorrence of fishing. His voice blends in perfectly with

song. "To Barney Kessel" is a song with what can only be d e

scribed as a Hawaian guitar. The song is extremely simple, but

effective. In "You Came Back," Town-

shend shows off his fantastic

voice. This is a very melodic track and one of the better ones

on the album. The album concludes with the

famous "Love Reign O'er Me."

This version is even better than the Quadrophenia version. I t is simplified, but the passion of the song seems to come through better in Townshend's rendition.

Scoop is a slippery-smooth- sounding album on which Town- shend explores himself and the world around him. This album is not for everyone, but it was well

worth the $9.00 plus tax that I paid for it.

Fencers instruct by Win Wells

Five members from the Cin-

cinnati Fencing Club gave a

demonstration to the junior P.E.

classes, Friday, March 18.

The five members who

demonstrated their sport were

Gwen Wolfe, Andrew Pekarik,

Jeff Martin, Kevin Leoffler and

Mike Contadino. Wolfe, the coach

of the club, stressed that distance,

time, and speed are the three

important factors in fighting a match.

WoIfes a highly accomplished woman fencer is one of the five

women masters in the U.S. She took up fencing while living in

Mexico City where she joined the

Mexican Olympic team in 1970.

From there she participated in the

1972 Olympic Games where she

placed 23xd in a field of 165 op-

ponents. After the Olympics, she

fenced with the teams in Cuba,

France, Poland, Hungary, and

Germany. In 1975 Wolfe made it

to the semi~fmals in the Polish

National Open.

In addition she has participat-

ed in the Pan American games and

in the 'World Championship. Dur-

ing this last year, she came to

Cincinnati to coach young hope-

fuls at the Cincinnati Fencing Club.

Martin, an Ohio State sabre

gym classes fencer, recently won first place in

a Kentucky competition. Two beginners to the sport, Leoffler

and Contadino, whose fortes are

foil and epee fencing also con-

tributed to the demonstration.

The final member of the team, Pekarik, recently defected from

Hungary with his wife to come

and fence in the U.S. While there,

he ranked in the top of the sabre field. Wolfe said, "You'll be hear-

ing more about him as time goes

on." The members brought all

necessary equipment with them

so they could give a forty-five

minute sampling of the art of

fencing. The presentation includ-

ed a lecture on the types of fenc-

ing and one concerning the three

types of weapons involved. The

three types, foil, epee, and sabre,

were all incorporated in several

matches following the presenta-

tion.

The elaborate set-up for the

matches included the devices

needed for electrically monitored

fencing where a touch is deter-

mined through electric impulses.

The set-up included a metal fenc-

ing strip on which the fencers

maneuvered while fighting and a

machine which emitted a loud

beep and activated a small light

Tennis Braves Sycamore, EH by Craig Johnson

The boysy varsity tennis team, trying hard to better last year's

impressive 17-3 record, opens what has potential to be one of its

best seasons ever this afternoon

against Westerville in Columbus, Ohio.

Also this weekend, the Braves

will be participating in the Medina

InvitationaL Last year the team brought home the Consolation

Tournament trophy in that tourney as well as a second place

finish in the EHL. Improving

upon that second place finish is one of the major goals of this

year's team. To achieve their

goals, the players realized that they have to be in top playing

condition early in the season. The recent poor weather has

forced cancellation of many after-

school practices. On the first

official day of practice, it was a

cold 30 degrees and it was snow-

ing. Head coach David Swisher

realized that with the Medina

Classic coming up in less than

three weeks .and the Sycamore

disc review

match in less than fwe, the team

had to get more practice in. "We needed to get some extra prac-

tices and the idea of pre-school

practice was a good one." He announced that starting

March 13 the team would begin

having pre-school practice indoors

as well as after-school practice outdoors. This meant getting 13

sleepy players, including three seniors, up at 5: 15 a.m.! How-

ever, the team as a whole felt that

they were both helpful and neces-

sary. Sophomore Brad McCurdy

said, "The practices were helpful

because we needed to get ready

for the season."

In order to win the league, the

Braves are going to have to play well early in the season. For the

past three seasons, IH has lost the

EHL title on the final day of

league play. Senior captain Bi

Skidmore relayed his concern about beating Sycamore when he

said, "This is my last chance to beat Sycamore. If the only thing

we accomplish this year is beating

Sycamore, I'll be satisfied."

When asked how he felt about

the team's schedule, Skidmore

commented, "Improving upon

last year's 17-3 record will be tough to do. The difference will be in our ability to win or lose the

3-2 matches."

Swisher also had something to say about the schedule. "There is no doubt it is a tough schedule.

The majority of difficult oppon-

ents are scheduled in April. One

thing is for sure, April will tell the

story."

This year the Braves will be

playing teams from Columbus as

well as from Cincinnati Top

teams from Cincinnati include

Elder, Lakota, Walnut Hills and

Sycamore. IH will also play two

Columbus teams, Columbus

Academy and Westerville.

The match with Sycamore will

take place Thursday, April 14, at

Sycamore. The team will be out to avenge last year's 3-2 loss, in

which all the Braves' singles play-

ers were defeated. The Braves

should have a much improved

chance this year. One major rea-

son for this is that the Braves have six returning lettermen. This

Quality shot down by reverb in U2's 'War' by John LiUy

It would be nice if once, just

once, U2 would cut a tune on

which they had not cranked the

reverb up all the way.

Don't misunderstand; these

four Irish lads play good songs

with interesting melodies and sin-

cere (if at times unremarkable)

lyrics about love and war. But

they always sound like they're

playing in the world's largest and

most sound-reflective bathroom.

It's quite a shame, too. With

their growing technical command, U2 could sound amazingly crisp.

If they would only unleash

drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. and

guitarist The Edge from the kind of smeary, confining production

which has marred all of their work up to this point, their songs

would take on an infinitely more

vivid sound. Certainly none of

that echo is necessary to bring out

the best qualities of singer Vox

Bono's powerful tenor.

Unfortunatly, U2 (and pro-

ducer Steve Lillywhite) should

again be shot for producing each

and every one of the ten tracks on

their new album W a r in the man-

ner to which they have grown ac-

customed. They really wreck the

music.

Take, for instance, "Sunday

Bloody Sunday," the first song on

War. It opens auspiciously

enough; Larry Mullen is doing his

characteristic hi-hat work. And,

"What's this?" you ask, "No

reverb? Did I pick up the right

record?" You panic until the

loud guitar wails and electronic-

ally-enhanced crash cymbals kick

in. "Oh, thank God!" you sigh,

wiping your brow in relief.

Well, never you fret. U2 have

miscalculated in the mix on all

but a few of the songs here. (The

anthematic production is appropriate for only three or four of

them.)

"Seconds" wants desperately

to be a funky tune, but can't

escape from the technological

quagmire. The next two songs on

the first side, however, are to be

commended; twice in a row the

band scores with the rhythm-

heavy sound, simply because it is

musically appropriate here.

"New Year's Day," the first of

this pair, is, lyrically speaking,

one of the most sophisticated

songs U2 have ever played. On

the surface, it is a simple love

ballad; but it becomes apparent

m the final verse that the band is

more concerned with the real

effects of politics on people.

"And so we are told this is the

golden age," they comment

wryly, "And gold is the reason for

the wars we wage."

"Like a Song . . ." is so cap-

tivating that it leaps off the vinyl

as a success for U2. Their musical techniques pay off here, and they

make their most cohesive state-

ment of political belief. "I won't

let others live in hell/As we divide

against each other." Considering the band's background in strife-

ridden Ireland, that is a power-

fully pacifistic message.

The side's final song, unfor-

tunately, is as bad as its prede- cessor is good. "Drowning Man''

doesn't make it because it-sounds

sloppy. That's about all there is to say.

Side two starts well with the percussive "The Refugee." A

couple of ironic lines make this

song interesting. (Regarding the

refugee: "Someday she's gonna

live in America." Her dreams will

come true then, I guess.) Again, though, a nagging guitar smear

detracts from the overall world-

funk musical aura.

Senior and team captain Bi Skid-

more will try to lead the tennis

team to the EHL crown

"Two Hearts Beat as One" is

good. They didn't mess it up.

"Red Light" is visceral wailing

with backup vocals and very little

in the way of a message, either

musical or lyrical.

Again on "Surrender," Lilly-

white buries Bono's voice, which

may or may not be appropriate.

Something's wrong with the

words here; either they aren't

very good or I don't understand

them. At any rate, I am unquali-

fied to make any cute comments

about the song in general.

"40," the record's last tune, is

an apt conclusion. It is a slow, pensive cut (not U2's usual forte),

and the omnipresent echoes don't

destroy it. Lyrically, "40" is a

reiteration of a line from the

album's fust song, "Sunday

Bloody Sunday." "How long, how long must we sing this

song?" Bono asks, and his voice

conveys genuine melancholy.

Looking over this review, I

notice that it may dwell too much

on War's main weakness, its

production. It is an enjoyable and thought-provoking album,

and I would recommend it highly.

But it is flawed where it could be

truly great.

I just wish someone would fire

the producer; that's all.

CHIEFTAIN March 25, 1983 March 25,1983 CHIEFTAIN Page 3

insisted the coach. "You have to learn to rebound and develop some resilience rather than sulk about a loss."

Faust faced two major changes while discovering the differences between coaching at the high school and college levels.

"I think I was too easy on the players the first year. I thought that because they were in college they would be more mature auto-

matically. I had to find a strong

but fair discipline. "The other big difference is

that I can't actively coach as

much here. With all the assistant coaches we have here, I find my

job is more to oversee everything.

At Moeller I really got more of a

chance to teach."

Faust is hoping that more

pieces will fall together for the

Fighting Irish in 1983, keeping in mind that "we didn't build Moel-

ler overnight. I'm an optimist. I think we will play much better if

we stay healthy this year."

Faust seems greatly content where he is now. When asked about college coaching two days before he accepted the Notre Dame job two years ago, Faust said Notre Dame would be the on-

ly college job he would ever con-

sider. Does it still hold true?

"Yes," he replied. "If I weren't here, I don't know what I would do." Then, with his familiar grin he added, "and I

hope I don't have t o deal with that problem."

"I don't really have a yearning to go back because I like the job I'm

in now. I have to consider Moel-

ler as a phase in my life, but it

was a very fruitful and positive one. I will never forget it or re-

gret anything about it." Nor will he likely forget about

the football program he built at Moeller. "I'm still very interes-

ted. I always want to see them

win," he said. Faust now sees the world from

golden domes but not through rose colored windows. It does not bother Faust to be lumped together with his legendary pre- decessors at Notre Dame.

Art students, Gay Stauft and Teresa Lemmel recently had their

art projects selected for the Ohio

Governors Youth Art Exhibition

April 10. Lemmel, a senior, en-

tered a collage while sophomore

Stauft entered a linoIeum block

print and an embossed print.

"I don't think the kids realize

what an honor i t is to have their pieces selected," said art teacher

Mr. Larry Bernard. "This exhibi-

pieces entered from twelve differ-

ent regions in Ohio, only 300

have been accepted for this exhibition."

Both Stauft and Lemmel were

surprised to have their work

chosen for the exhibit. "I never

expected my prints to be sent t o

the state exhibition," said Stauft. "Mr. Bernard just told me he was sending them to be judged one

day, and I agreed thinking no-

thing of i t "

"I cannot believe that my col-

said Lemmel. "I don't agree with

the judges' taste. I despise that collage. I think it's one of the ugliest art pieces ever made."

These art projects, along with many others, will be exhibited a t

Having an appendage taped before a game or practice is not

suffice to say that taping append-

ages before a game or practice is equally, if not more, unentertain-

ing. There are a few souls, however, who, if not absolutely loving it, do tolerate performing the necessary maintenance of athletes: the student trainers.

Begun four years ago by Ath- letic Director Carol Wehmann and experienced trainer Bill Taylor, the Athletic Training Program is dedicated to the treating and prevention of minor athletic-related injuries. The student trainers accomplish this through a number of methods, including

taping, icing, whirlpools, etc. Wehmann, who had performed

most of the training duties before

the present program was begun,

recruited a group of girls to help and to eventually take over these

duties. Wehmann enlisted the aid

students from Moeller and Syca- more are attending these classes as

these schools are beginning their own programs.

by Terri Rosen

Editor's note: Senior Tern Rosen

is referring to Dwight Poffen-

berger's March 1 I Way of the Woods column in which Poffen-

berger stated that hunters are not

cruel murderers of animals.

So you love nature, Dwight. I t is an admirable quality, I assure

you. Mr. Jim Arnold told us in

psychology class that there is a portion of your brain that con-

trols your ability t o love and hate, and when these two clash, a problem, mentally speaking, is not far off. To think of hunting as a game only adds t o my suspicion of hunters' mental instability.

To think of hunting as just a

game is only looking from the "superior human's" point of

view. Dwight explained hunting

in his last article as a game of "will against instinct."

I t is a game of will and in-

stinct, but played only by the desperate animal. The animal's

will to live leads him to follow his

instinct to escape the "nature loving" human's blow.

Dwight went on to further

explain the game aspect by com-

paring hunting t o a tennis match.

It is comparable, but only as long as one of the players is not equip-

ped with a racket.

The hunter seems to find a

thrill out of trying to meet the animal's natural instincts because

hunting is about as challenging as

taking candy from a baby. It's

just too easy!

If you love a challenge so much, Dwight, why don't you

stalk something that exemplifies

your superiority. The only way that this "game" can be considered competitive is ff you choose an adversary comparable in ability. The only worthy opponent t o

man, as far as I know, is man himself. How about hunting each otner, Dwight! Would you still feel the same way about getting

up at 4:00 a.m "to watch the sun rise" and know someone was ready to play his game on your

existence? ! What amazed me most about

Dwight's article in the last issue of

Chieftain was his need to ration-

alize his actions.

"Is i t not more cruel to have starving animals competing for a

limited food supply than to har-

vest them through hunting." It seems to me that animals have

in their knowledge and expertise.

As senior Marc LeVan comment-

ed, "I was in to be wrapped for football, and they know what

they're doing pretty well."

Brindise, who did most of the taping for his players at Dayton Al-

ter, stated he is "pleased with the

cooperation and effort of the

trainers" and maintains they do *- 4

The responses to the survey on

teacher evaluation which were

quoted in your issue of March 1 1,

1983 included several statements

which are not accurate.

As chairman of the commit-

tee which was charged with the

duty of revising the teacher evalu-

ation system, I would like to offer

some pertinent information con-

cerning the revision process.

The basic purpose of revising

the evaluation program was to en-

ties for our pupils by providing an

improved teaching staff. Many of

the suggestions offered by the

teacher members of this commit-

tee were incorporated in the final

teachers, since it added two

months to their time for observa-

tion by an evaluator, and to their

opportunities for demonstrating

improved performance. The re-

vised evaluation period also brings

our program into better com-

pliance with provisions of state

law.

A related change which was

accepted by the teachers on the

committee was the delay of as-

signed improvement tasks for

tenured teachers to the following

year, which may allow the teacher

in question an additional year of

employment while these tasks are

being observed and evaluated.

The second administrative ad-

justment to the system was the

f

formance to be delayed by an

arbitrary rule.

The committee met a total of

14 times over a two-year period,

including two meetings in June,

1982 to which only three teacher

representatives came. These and

other related facts simply do not

Tuesday, March 4th. Under new

head coach Dennis Dowling the

players have taken a positive at-

This year the baseball Braves

have worked harder than in past

years. "This year there is a com-

pletely different attitude. We are

willing to work, more serious, and

more enthusiastic," said returning

letterman Todd Goldman.

The strongest aspect of the

Braves' defense this year is defin-

itely the infield. Competition for

2nd base, 3rd base, and shortstop

will be the fiercest. The players

fighting for these positions are

'returning seniors Kriss Ashing,

Jim h o l d , and Goldman along

with junior Mitch Theuring.

Competition for first base will

also be tough. Four men are try-

ing for the position: Curtis Ott,

Dan Kremchek, John Knechtley,

and Dave Davis.

Overall the infield is not lack- ing at any position. "This infield

should be one of the most con-

sistent in recent Indian Hill

history," says Jim Arnold.

The outfield should follow

close behind the infield in defen-

sive ability. Seven players are

competing for the three available

starting positions. They are:

Kevin Froehlich, John Gennan-

tonio, Rob McVicker, Todd

Hock, Jim Morgan, Ott and Davis.

Because these players have close,

if not equal, defensive ability it

will be their offensive talents

which will determine the staters.

In the infield as well as the

outfield it will be the strongest

offensive players who start.

"Every player on the bench is capable of performing well on

defense. Therefore I have the

ability to shift the lineup from

game to game in order to allow

the .people who are hitting well at

certain times to play," says

Dowling.

The Braves' pitching staff may Braves' success. "I believe if the

Hills wins intramural tourney by Paul Monach

nine other teams from local high

to be eliminated from the tourna-

right to enter the tournament by

tournament.

Indian Hill in its fust match defeated the runner-up, McNich-

olas, 42-32. McNick remained iu the tournament, as did IH after its fust loss, because of the double

elimination system that was used.

Chili's Dawgs then lost a close

game to St. Xavier, 39-37. The Dawg were then knocked out of

the tourney at the hands of the

eventual victors by 12 points.

Junior Kevin Ertel, IH's bad-

ing scorer for the three games, commented, "We played well in the fust game against McNick, but

after that we got some bad

breaks against St. X, and we were

outplayed by Oak Hills."

by Dwight Poffenberger

Fishing and spring break are synonymous. Both mean relaxa-

tion, whether it be on the beaches

of Florida or on the shores of

Lake Michigan. Whether one goes south,

north, or stays at home, spring-

time offers some of the year's

best fishing. Of course, some

basic knowledge of the water and

of the fishing techniques is

needed for success in any area.

Since the majority of IHers are

headed down to Florida, I will

dwell upon the excellent fishing

opportunities that exist in the

southern states. As March ends,

many of the southern inland lakes

provide excellent largemouth bass

fishing. One does not need to

own one's own plantation to get

in on the action at many popular

resorts like Kiawah Island or

Hilton Head Island, which con-

tain plenty of bass and, unfortunately, plenty of alligators too.

The most productive baits in

such ponds are artificial baits

which resemble the tiny shad. These lures can be purchased in

a variety of sizes and color com-

binations. Some have a large plastic lip in front of the bait which

causes the bait to run deeper.

Topwater lures like the Jitterbug are also productive in the late

evening and early morning.

If one wishes to get away from

land and do some saltwater fish-

ing, I recommend bonefishing.

The bonefish is a shallow water

feeder that is shaped and swims

like a bullet. He is considered one

of the most difficult fish to hook,

let alone land. Many southern

resorts offer bonefishing guides

for a fair price; and believe me,

it is worth it.

Bonefish feed on shrimp and

other tiny crustaceans along shal-

low mud flats. They are very spooky, so long casts are needed.

They often travel in schools, so

if one fish is scared, the whole

school swims away.

Stripping 100 yards of line in one run is not uncommon for

these aggressive fish. Normally it

takes fifteen to thirty minutes to land one. Once boated, bonefish

should be released unless they

are going to be mounted because

they are not good to eat. Besides bonefish, many other

saltwater gamefish are available to

the deep-sea fisherman. Grouper,

barracuda, and sea bass are a few

that are commonly caught.

Again, the best bet for success lies

with a guide. The most common

bait for this offshore fishing is the

ballyhoo, a six-inch or longer bait-

fish common to the saltwater

depths.

For the man who is seeking

the ultimate challenge, charter

boats go out every day for marlin

and dolphin. This summer, I was

lucky enough to try this, and it is

a blast. The boats trail four or

more artificial flies which hop

enough to be going to Florida,

Lake Michigan offers excellent steelhead fishing this time of

year. Four to twelve pound fish

are taken mostly at spawn as they run the rivers to spawn. Excellent

brown trout fishing is also avail-

able on Lake Michigan as the water warms.

If you are not travelling this

spring break, you might want to

relax, fishing around Cincinnati.

This is the time of year when area

paylakes stock trout by the truck-

full. The most relaxing way to

fish these paylakes is to fish live

minnows below a bobber. All

you need to do is sit back and

soak up the air. Enjoy your

break.
