Sophomore David Ahlert
led the Braves with a seventh-

In the girls' race, which
also included runners from
Ursuline, Neu won easily over

coach Robert West, "Our
non-league opponents are the
finest in the city - we haven't
played any easy team o u t of
the league."
West attributed the seem-
ingly poor 3-6 start that the
Braves have opened with as
misleading because the Braves
have played several city
powerhouses, which he
termed as "just excellent."
The Braves upped their
EHL mark t o 3-1, second
only t o Sycamore, with a win
on Tuesday over Mariemont
a t t h e Terrace Park country
club. Senior Bill Louder was
medalist as he shot an even-
par 37.
Sycamore handed the
Braves their only league loss
on Monday, as IH placed last
in a three team event. Syca-
more placed first with a score
of 1 6 0 and Wyoming finished
second with a 1 6 3 . IH shot a

with a score of 40.
The other losses were what
West termed as "losses t o the
finest teams in the city." T h e
Braves have lost t o St. Xavier,
Elder twice, and Moeller this
season.
St. Xavier defeated the
Braves on September 9. But
t w o of the best matches of
the season came against
powerhouse Elder, rated o n e
of the t o p three teams in the

other loss has come a t the
hands of Moeller, 161-172,

nature and location of the

line running along the roof of
the high school burned out,
causing the outage.
Tolson was unsure of the
exact cause of the burnout.
He speculated that perhaps a
weak spot occurred in t h e
line due t o the lack of rain
over t h e last month. T h e rain
Sunday night, therefore,
soaked through the wire,
producing the weak spot.
He also stated that an
electrical "surge" could have
caused the short. T h e surge
could have been produced by
turning the power back o n
after previously shutting it
off. Tolson did n o t feel t h a t
Sunday's severe storm w h i c h

editorial
We, as high school students, are faced with seem-
ingly impossible and innumerable demands. Not only
are we expected to perform well academically, but
also to enrich ourselves and our school through extra-
curricular activities, to maintain our health, to serve
our communities and churches, to choose a college
and/or a career, and to assume the responsibilities'of
adults, while at the same time to deal with the inher-
ent complications of adolescence. The list goes on.
These demands being placed upon us by our par-
ents, the school, and others merely reflect our in-
creasingly complex and problem-plagued society: in
order to function to our best ability in today's socie-
ty we must meet increasingly more and tougher
demands. Yet it would be virtually impossible for
each individual to meet with complete success every
demand placed on him by every source.
Therefore, each individual must set his own goals;
he must prioritize the demands being placed upon
him and fulfill them according to his own goals. Yet,
he must also realize that what priority he places on
these demands now will greatly affect, if not actually
determine, his future. Those sources placing exacting
demands on us as high school students are not of the
desire to see us fail before an unattainable ideal, but
rather to better prepare us t o meet the challenges and
demands of being adults in the society of the future.

as I see it
Media forgets importance
of specialized knowledge
by J o h n Bergman
Last night, struck once
again b y the harsh reality of
column writing, I turned to
'The MacNeil Lehrer Report,'
a program on public TV, for
a helping hand. T h e program
offers a concentrated view of
political issues and has pro-
vided me with many topics in
the past.
When I first turned on
t h e set, I was pleasantly
surprised t o find that last
night's show was t o be t h e
first of a new hour-long ver-
sion. This seemed t o m e to
be a very good idea, since
many of the previous shows
that I had seen seemed much
t o short for their subject-
matter. With the doubling of
length, I expected a doubling
of insightfulness.
In fact, the show t h a t I
watched did provide me with
a topic, b u t the topic was
much different than I had
anticipated. By the time the
program had finished, I was
m o r e preoccupied with its
new format than with its
material.
I t seems t h a t the producer
of 'The MacNeil Lehrer Re-
port' did n o t change the
length of their program be-
cause they desired t o devote

as t h a t of t h e vast majority of
newspapers, periodicals, and

that it is more i m p o r t a n t for

u t e segments which covered
t h e topics of the Korean air-
line incident, t h e plight of the
American farmer, and finally,
as if t h a t weren't enough, t h e
situation in Lebanon.
Now, f o r those of you
w h o have n o t seen 'The Mac-
September 16,1983
Neil Lehrer Report,' it is
important t o explain the ba-
sic method by which t h a t
show informs its viewers.
Some of y o u probably think
that i t took t h e reporters
twenty minutes t o read each
of three cue-cards. Not so.
Rather the reporters ask
q u e ~ t i o n st o each of t w o ex-
perts o n each subject w h o
disagree o n the issue a t hand.
Debate often arises from
these questions, and when it
does, t h e reporters simply lis-
ten, with t h e rest of us. T h e
purpose is n o t t o give an-
swers, b u t rather t o stimulate
questions a n d opinion. This
is a very refreshing change
from y o u r average local news
show.
T h e problem is t h a t with
the new f o r m a t , the viewer is
hardly given the chance t o
determine h o w h e feels a b o u t
an issue, before he is asked t o
consider another. Twenty
minutes is n o t , after all, a
very long t i m e t o formulate
an opinion, particularly a b o u t
such highly charged issues as
t h e three discussed that night.
We're n o t dealing here with
sports, news, a n d weather
reports; these are issues which
require thought.
One of t h e fundamental
problems with news o n
commercial TV is t h a t it
feels compelled t o say every-
thing a b o u t everything. T h e
result is a 'Machine-gun ap-
proach' which usually gets
the bullets fired, b u t often
misses t h e target.
I am n o t proposing t h a t
news reporting can or should
be completely specialized.
Obviously, a certain public
interest is served b y t h e gen-
eral approach. Still, I think
t h a t there are certain topics
a b o u t which a superficial
knowledge is almost useless,
. if n o t dow'hright harmful.
Sure it would b e great if w e
could all acquire a complete
understanding of every pos-
sible issue, b u t recognizing
t h e fact t h a t we c a n n o t , o u r
next best h o p e is t o acquire a
thorough comprehension of a
slightly m o r e manageable
spectrum.

Braves baftle Sycamore to s talemate
by Anna Batsakes
The varsity soccer Braves and
the Sycamore Aves fought each
other endlessly last Tuesday night
resulting in a shut out for both
teams.
"It was an even match," said
varsity coach Vockell. "The
Braves played really well. Syca-
more is the top team in the
league, and we definitely gave
them a rough time."
The Braves played well the
previous Saturday when they beat
Moeller 3-1. Juniors Dave Schnei-
der and sophomores Scott Seibert
and Steve Womack provided the
winning goals.
In their game against Milford
on September 6 the Braves man-
aged to tie with a score of 2-2.
Womack provided both goals.
Despite their recent winnings
the Braves lost a game to Hamil-
ton 4-1 on September 3. The
only goal was casted by junior
Curtis Ott.

In keeping with their win-

Indian Hill varsity girls' tennis
team remains undefeated
with a 7-0 record. Their most
recent victory occurred a-
gainst Mariemont this past
Tuesday. T h e Lady Braves

victory," 5-0.

Indian Hill's unfortunate
opponents included Walnut

Indian Hill's superiority in
tennis is also shown by t h e
fact that they've only lost

dividual matches played thus
far this season. Coach Crilley
comments, "It's a good feel-

Rick McFadden, girls varsity
soccer coach, resigned after three
seasons of working with the
Squaws.
According to Miss Carol Weh-
mann, coach McFadden believed
that at this point in time it was
necessary for him to leave the IH
program.
Many controversies had arisen
among the coach, his team mem-
bers and their parents which had
failed to be worked out.
McFadden stresses, "It was a
difference of opinion between the
administration and myself. My
resignation had nothing to do
with any team members or their
parents.
"The administration and I had
different ideas for the girls pro-
gram. They felt that I was work-
ing the girls too hard and taking
training and games too seriously."
In the 1980-81 school year
McFadden began
coaching, only seven girls tried
out for the team. "We were beg-
ging for players then" he said.

Braves aiming for firsf win tonight
by K w h w*
The msity football Braves
will be aiming for their first win
of the season as they take an 0-2
record into their home game with
Milford tonight at 8:OO.
Head coach Gene Brindise
feels the Braves will have to over-
come the mistakes that have
plagued the Braves in their two
-
previous games namely, small
mental errors.
"We'll have to play good, in-
telligent football if we want to
win. Most often we have wound
up beating ourselves instead of
the other team beating us."
But Brindise also feels that
other factors have also contn'but-
ed to the Braves' losing so far.
"We also have a lot of inexper-
ience in key positions," he said.
"Especially in om defensive backs
and quarterbadca" The Braves
have two juniors quarterbacking
for them, Pete Seremetis and
Mike Wentz.

of their starting players healthy.
But they lost, 7-0.

SG organizes 83-84 committees
The Student Government
went on its annual retreat last
weekend. Hugh and I feel that
the retreat was successful in or-
ganizing our committee plans and
objectives for the 1983-84 school
year. The committees this year
will be the most important facet
of SG. In general, their responsi-
bilities will be to organize annual
projects, listen t o student con-
cerns and suggestions, and to
write resolutions t o be considered
by SG. Thus we feel i t important
that the student body be aware of
the committees and their func-
tions.
The Service Committee, chair-
ed by Kris Brockman, is responsi-
ble for the many charity projects
that SG pursues every year.
Some of these include the Elf
Auction and the Thanksgiving
Food Drive, benefiting such chari-
ties as the Heart Association and
the free store. Any persons inter-
ested in helping with the Service
Committee should talk to Kris
Brockman.
The Public Relations Commit-
tee is responsible for making SGYs
projects and plans known to the
student body and the community.
This involves sign making and also
submitting press releases to the
Chieftain and the IH bulletin.

The Activity Committee is
responsible for planning the ac-

year is to find some new activities
that will be of interest t o the
student body. Paula Greeno is
the chairperson.
The Forum Committee is res-
ponsible for planning the forums.
The first forum will be next
month and will feature a movie.
A Fine Arts Forum is scheduled
for later this year. David Strad-
ling is the chairperson.
The Musicfest Committee,
chaired by Bob Rhoad, is respon-
sible for planning the Musicfest in
May. Shortly before spring
break, it will begin seeking out
bands to play at the festival.

be an asset because it is concerned
chiefly with student complaints,
concerns, and suggestions. We

O n Wednesday, August 3 1 ,
1 9 8 3 a Soviet built and
manned Su-15 shot d o w n a
Korean Airlines 7 4 7 . As we
later learned, 269 people
were killed, 6 1 of them
American nationals.
Prior t o the shooting d o w n
of Flight 0 0 7 , t h e 747 was
followed for approximately
t w o hours. T h e 7 4 7 was fol-
lowed by a combination of
Su-15's and MiG-23's.
T h e Korean 7 4 7 received
n o radio message from the
pursuing fighter aircraft tel-
ling it t h a t it was off course
b y almost 3 0 0 miles. This
can b e substantiated b y the
fact t h a t Soviet aircraft d o
n o t operate o n those radio
frequencies used b y commer-
cial aircraft. This is because
i t hampers a t t e m p t s b y Soviet
pilots t o defect.
Those are t h e facts a b o u t
t h e incident itself.
Among t h e 269 passengers
Chip Greenlee becomes a football institution
by Kevin Walzer
What y o u are reading now
o n flight 0 0 7 was o n e Rep.
Larry McDonald, D-Georgia.
McDonald was chairman of
t h e J o h n Birch Society, as
well as an "outspoken anti-
communist." Rep. R o n Paul,
R-Texas, said, "There are
plenty w h o will be convinced
this is n o accident." I t was
summed up even better by
Rep. Phillip Crane, R-Illinois,
"They (the Soviets) certainly
had great satisfaction in
knowing Larry McDonald was
o n that plane."
During t h e few days after
the massacre t h e Soviets
chaaged their story constant-
ly, while saying nothing t o
their people. Firstly, the Sov-
iets said the plane was o n a
spying mission f o r the U.S.
This idea is completely
preposterous. Especially
when o n e considers t h e o u t -
rage t h a t would occur if t h e
government proved willing t o
sacrifice civilians.
Secondly, t h e Soviets said
they thoight t h e plane was
an RC-135, a reconaissance
aircraft. T h e problem with
t h a t idea is t h a t t h e RC-135
had been o n the ground f o r
one h o u r a t Anchorage,
Alaska, when t h e 747 was
shot down. A n o t h e r Soviet
fallacy is t h a t the Soviets
t h o u g h t i t was t h e RC-135
t h a t was shot d o w n . This is
easily refuted when one con-
siders t h a t the Soviet aircraft
had visual contact and t h a t
n o other plane in t h e world
has t h e 7 4 7 "hump."
T h e Soviet Union's blatant
act of airborne aggression was
the 2 9 t h incident since Aug.
8, 1 9 5 0 . T h e worst part of
these 2 9 cases is t h a t 2 2 of
these incidents didn't even
occur over Soviet airspace.
So now w e can say t h a t i t is a
Soviet trademark t o attack
other aircraft, civilian or not.
T h e response t o t h e mas-
sacre was identical f r o m a-
round t h e world. T h e Presi-
of the world. T h e m o s t i m -
p o r t a n t fact a b o u t t h e inci-
d e n t is t h e Soviets now k n o w
they can get away with these
atrocities against mankind.
Reagan m u s t have looked a t
J i m m y Carter's sad and sor-
rowful sanctions list o n this
one. Reagan should have sent
t h e Soviet nationals in this
country packing. Secondly,
h e should have refused en-
trance t o Soviet ships in o u r
ports (this also would go f o r

"Things have worked out pret-
ty well" for IH guidance counsel-
lor Doug Hammond. This remark
is typical of Hammond who is
noticeably happy right where he
is in life.
But that's not to say he hasn't
experienced many changes to ac-
quire this hard-toabtain outlook
on life.
Career-wise, Hammond looks
forward to "getting experience on
all levels." This year he was tran-
sferred to the high school guid-
ance office from the Ottawa's
guidance, filling the void after
Mrs. Linda Moravec's departure.
Since May, a new lady,
Lauren, has also been keeping
things "lively and interesting" in
his life. His wife, right? Nope.
Daughter Lauren is the latest edi-
tion to the family, consisting also
of three-year-old Brent and his
wife Donna, a teacher at Madeira.
Besides spending time with his
family this summer Hammond
also enjoyed playing racquetball
and swimming with Brent. He

Let's set aside all notions that
Mickey Vogel is a normal human
being. "Normal" is not the ad-
jective that I would use to de-
scribe him. How about "funny"?
Nope, even though he has done
some rather bogus things in his
two years here, "funny" doesn't
tell the full story. "Crazy" comes
close, but no cigar there either.
There is probably no single word
that can be used to give an accu-
rate portrayal of the psychotic
entity we all know as Mickey
"Wild Man" Vogel.
An analyzation of his past
may enable us to understand
Mick. He was as orphan, raised
by workers of a railroad spike
plant in Alabama. No, wait
scratch that. We'll have none of
that type of monkeying around in
this Senior Sketch.
Mickey, or "Mickey" as his
friends call him, was schooled by
the lovely nuns at All Saints.
He later recalled Sister DeLellis,
the principal of All Saints, as
saying that he was "a worker of
Satan."
After completing the 8th
grade, he was shuffled off to that
homes of many renowned hard
guys, Moeller High School.
During his two years at Moeller,

memoirs Mick wrote, "I guess I
just couldn't handle professional
football." He later added that "I
like having girls at school."
Recent accomplishments of
Mickey include the eating of glass,
a goldfish, and the consumption,
in one bite, of a Big Mac (Mick)
hamburger. The latter feat earned
him five dollars.
When Mickey isn't eating
things for money, he is getting in
some sort of mischief. For ex-
ample, at the recent Big Brother -
Big Sister picnic, Mick decided to
wallow about in the mud by the
river. Harmless enough. He then
proceded to give Mr. Dowling a
hug. It turns out that Mr. Dowling
didn't appreciate that display of
affection, so Mickey must turn in
his position paper one week early.
Now I don't mean to give any
of you the impression that Mick is
a crazed maniac, not at all, he is
quite a charitable fellow. He add-
ed, "I'm not totally corrupt."
His involvement with the Peer
Counselors is witness to that.
"Indian Hill is much more of a
caring school than Moeller; the
teachers care about the student,
not iust football."

lar" activity is Legend, where he

Mickey is very enthusiastio

that everything has the possibili-
ty of being a "good time."
Let me cite an example.
Spring Break 1983 (Gay Camp

A philosophical question: Is
the bottle half empty, or is it half
full? Reflecting her bright, opti-
mistic view of life, Vonda Willis
asserts that "the bottle is definite-
ly half full."
That statement is not surpri-
sing coming from the smiling, re-
laxed Vonda in an IH Color
Guard t-shirt, IH gym shorts, shin
guards, and cleated field hockey
shoes; her half of the bottle cer-
tainly is full.
"Maybe I should go by sea-
sons," suggests Vonda in trying to
keep all her activities straight.
Right now, she is a member of the
varsity field hockey team (ex-
plaining the cleats and shin pads),
insisting all the while that it's
"not a brutal sport." "It's always
a lot of work, but it's always
worth it - just like Chieftain."
(No kidding, she really did say
that!)

it's just about time for her to be

her aforementioned t-shirt). Hav-

her sophomore year, Vonda says
she has "always liked the march-

In fact, she likes almost all
kinds of music, particularly solo

Sheena Easton. The "almost" re-

Lyrical Costello experiments on 'Punch the Clock'
by Kenneth N. Jones
The innovative and sometimes
experimental Elvis Costello has
made some additions to his sound
in his latest album Punch the
Clock. Aside from his usual back-
up trio, The Attractions, Costello
has included a horn section and
two female backup vocalists.
The album starts with "Let
Them All Talk," a song which
comments on the bad publicity he
has received in the past. As for
the music, it is bouncy but not
particularly memorable.
In recent years, many bands
have added horn sections to their
sound, perhaps the most famous
being the Earth, Wind, and Fire
horn section. Costello's T.K.O.
horn section is by no means like
EWF. T.K.O. is usually found
playing repetitive and simplistic
rhythms whereas EWF has a
knack for exciting and squealing
horn rips. On the other hand,
Elvis Costello would sound awk-
ward with the high energy EWF
section, so it all works out.
Vonda's spotlight shines on
VONDA, from p. 5
CHIEFTAIN
The second track is "Everyday
I Write The Book." The lyrics are
clever and intricate, a Costello
trademark, but the newly added
backup singers are annoying.
They add a soul feel which is fake
and hopelessly tacky at a few
points.
The next two songs "The
Greatest Thing" and "The Ele-
ment Within Her" are typically
Costello. The lyrics are interesting
and sometimes take funny twists.
For example, in "The Element
Within Her," a remorseful love
song, it ends "I say 'Are you
cold' / She says 'No, but you are.'
The talented Attractions show
their stuff in the next song "Love
Went Mad." The only bad section
of this song is that the organ
makes one feel like he is in a
roller-rink. Aside from that, bass
player Bruce Thomas and drum-
mer Pete Thomas blend beautiful-
ly to keep the song on the upbeat.
Ending side one is the slow-
paced "Shipbuilding." This track
has a laid back, smoky room jazz
feel which blends well with Cos-
tello's mellow voice. To continue
enhancing the jazz feel, a trumpet
solo is also included. This is the
most enjoyable song on the album
but is hardly the type of song one
hears on the charts. Too bad.
The flip side kicks off with the
brassy T.K.O. (Boxing Day).
Elvis Costello tries to make this
sound so much like a pop song
that it starts sounding childish.
The backup singers also get out of
hand at one point, and soon they
and the brass start sounding like
Culture Club, not Elvis Costello
and the Attractions.
"Charm School" starts on a
simple bass line and builds from
there. This song is a good exam-
ple of how nice the band sounds
with little help from the detract-
ing backup singers.
The next song, "The Invisible
Man," builds itself around one of
the more trifling horn licks in
musical history. From there the
song goes nowhere.
"Mouth Almighty" is a song
,
September 16.1983
which proclaims Costello's regret
for the things he said in the past
which started the bad publicity
for him. "I know I've got my
faults/And among them I can't
control my tongue."
The following track "King of
Thieves" is a nondescript song
and is only worth listening to for
lyrics.
Costello makes a serious
statement about people in the
offbeat "Pills and Soap." This
ominous song discusses the hypo-
crisy and lack of morality in the
world today. "Give me the need-
le/Give me the ropelwe're going
to melt them down for pills and
soap."
Ending the album is "The
World And His Wife" which hu-
morously discusses family life and
incest. Costello's vicious singing
ability adds to the humor and sar-
casm of this song.
On the whole, Punch the
Clock is a good album on which
he scores a hit with the T.K.O.
horn section and a miss with his
backup vocalists.

St. Louis to show their stuff. Be-
sides helping the Squad win sever-
a1 awards, Vonda's biggest per-
sonal achievement was being
named Miss Badgerette, the high-
est award for the Squad's division.
Vonda insists, "I'm not the type
to jump into the spotlight, but if
put there, I don't mind!" Obvi-
ously, she doesn't.
"Happy, curious, and quiet"
are three adjectives Vonda uses to
describe herself. "Sometimes I
just sit back and watch and listen
to people instead of talking so
much. I like to take time to listen
and understand what people are
saying."
Vonda is also even-tempered
and calm. "You'd have to work to
get me really mad. I don't see any
point in flying off the handle,"
she says.
And happy? She certainly is.
"I like bright, cheery things. For
example, fall is my favorite sea-
son. Most say that everything is
dead, but I don't. I think it's
beautiful. "
She contributes much of her
optimism of this kind to her in-
volvement in her church. Her
churcn has been a big part of her
life and she sees it as a "founda-

later learned, 269 people
were killed, 6 1 of them
American nationals.
Prior t o the shooting d o w n
of Flight 0 0 7 , t h e 747 was
followed for approximately
t w o hours. T h e 7 4 7 was fol-
lowed by a combination of
Su-15's and MiG-23's.
T h e Korean 7 4 7 received

Those are t h e facts a b o u t
t h e incident itself.
Among t h e 269 passengers
Chip Greenlee becomes a football institution
by Kevin Walzer
What y o u are reading now
o n flight 0 0 7 was o n e Rep.
Larry McDonald, D-Georgia.
McDonald was chairman of
t h e J o h n Birch Society, as
well as an "outspoken anti-
communist." Rep. R o n Paul,
R-Texas, said, "There are
plenty w h o will be convinced
this is n o accident." I t was
summed up even better by
Rep. Phillip Crane, R-Illinois,
"They (the Soviets) certainly
had great satisfaction in
knowing Larry McDonald was
o n that plane."
During t h e few days after
the massacre t h e Soviets
chaaged their story constant-
ly, while saying nothing t o
their people. Firstly, the Sov-
iets said the plane was o n a
spying mission f o r the U.S.
This idea is completely
preposterous. Especially
when o n e considers t h e o u t -
rage t h a t would occur if t h e
government proved willing t o
sacrifice civilians.
Secondly, t h e Soviets said
they thoight t h e plane was
an RC-135, a reconaissance
aircraft. T h e problem with
t h a t idea is t h a t t h e RC-135
had been o n the ground f o r
one h o u r a t Anchorage,
Alaska, when t h e 747 was
shot down. A n o t h e r Soviet
fallacy is t h a t the Soviets
t h o u g h t i t was t h e RC-135
t h a t was shot d o w n . This is
easily refuted when one con-
siders t h a t the Soviet aircraft
had visual contact and t h a t
n o other plane in t h e world
has t h e 7 4 7 "hump."
T h e Soviet Union's blatant
act of airborne aggression was
the 2 9 t h incident since Aug.
8, 1 9 5 0 . T h e worst part of
these 2 9 cases is t h a t 2 2 of
these incidents didn't even
occur over Soviet airspace.
So now w e can say t h a t i t is a
Soviet trademark t o attack
other aircraft, civilian or not.
T h e response t o t h e mas-
sacre was identical f r o m a-

"Things have worked out pret-

is typical of Hammond who is
noticeably happy right where he

But that's not to say he hasn't

Career-wise, Hammond looks

Mrs. Linda Moravec's departure.

Braves aiming for firsf win tonight
by K w h w*
The msity football Braves
will be aiming for their first win
of the season as they take an 0-2
record into their home game with
Milford tonight at 8:OO.
Head coach Gene Brindise
feels the Braves will have to over-
come the mistakes that have
plagued the Braves in their two
-
previous games namely, small
mental errors.
"We'll have to play good, in-
telligent football if we want to
win. Most often we have wound
up beating ourselves instead of
the other team beating us."
But Brindise also feels that
other factors have also contn'but-
ed to the Braves' losing so far.
"We also have a lot of inexper-
ience in key positions," he said.
"Especially in om defensive backs
and quarterbadca" The Braves
have two juniors quarterbacking
for them, Pete Seremetis and
Mike Wentz.

SG organizes 83-84 committees
The Student Government
went on its annual retreat last
weekend. Hugh and I feel that
the retreat was successful in or-
ganizing our committee plans and
objectives for the 1983-84 school
year. The committees this year
will be the most important facet
of SG. In general, their responsi-
bilities will be to organize annual
projects, listen t o student con-
cerns and suggestions, and to
write resolutions t o be considered
by SG. Thus we feel i t important
that the student body be aware of
the committees and their func-
tions.
The Service Committee, chair-
ed by Kris Brockman, is responsi-
ble for the many charity projects
that SG pursues every year.
Some of these include the Elf
Auction and the Thanksgiving
Food Drive, benefiting such chari-
ties as the Heart Association and
the free store. Any persons inter-
ested in helping with the Service
Committee should talk to Kris
Brockman.
The Public Relations Commit-
tee is responsible for making SGYs
projects and plans known to the
student body and the community.
This involves sign making and also
submitting press releases to the
Chieftain and the IH bulletin.

editorial
We, as high school students, are faced with seem-
ingly impossible and innumerable demands. Not only
are we expected to perform well academically, but
also to enrich ourselves and our school through extra-
curricular activities, to maintain our health, to serve
our communities and churches, to choose a college
and/or a career, and to assume the responsibilities'of
adults, while at the same time to deal with the inher-
ent complications of adolescence. The list goes on.
These demands being placed upon us by our par-
ents, the school, and others merely reflect our in-
creasingly complex and problem-plagued society: in
order to function to our best ability in today's socie-
ty we must meet increasingly more and tougher
demands. Yet it would be virtually impossible for
each individual to meet with complete success every
demand placed on him by every source.
Therefore, each individual must set his own goals;
he must prioritize the demands being placed upon
him and fulfill them according to his own goals. Yet,
he must also realize that what priority he places on
these demands now will greatly affect, if not actually
determine, his future. Those sources placing exacting
demands on us as high school students are not of the
desire to see us fail before an unattainable ideal, but
rather to better prepare us t o meet the challenges and
demands of being adults in the society of the future.

as I see it
Media forgets importance
of specialized knowledge
by J o h n Bergman
Last night, struck once
again b y the harsh reality of
column writing, I turned to
'The MacNeil Lehrer Report,'
a program on public TV, for
a helping hand. T h e program
offers a concentrated view of
political issues and has pro-
vided me with many topics in
the past.
When I first turned on
t h e set, I was pleasantly
surprised t o find that last
night's show was t o be t h e
first of a new hour-long ver-
sion. This seemed t o m e to
be a very good idea, since
many of the previous shows
that I had seen seemed much
t o short for their subject-
matter. With the doubling of
length, I expected a doubling
of insightfulness.
In fact, the show t h a t I
watched did provide me with
a topic, b u t the topic was
much different than I had
anticipated. By the time the
program had finished, I was
m o r e preoccupied with its
new format than with its
material.
I t seems t h a t the producer
of 'The MacNeil Lehrer Re-
port' did n o t change the
length of their program be-
cause they desired t o devote

Their reasoning is the- same

as t h a t of t h e vast majority of
newspapers, periodicals, and
other news programs, namely
that it is more i m p o r t a n t for

them t o know a great deal

America into a country of

presented three twenty-min-
u t e segments which covered
t h e topics of the Korean air-
line incident, t h e plight of the
American farmer, and finally,
as if t h a t weren't enough, t h e
situation in Lebanon.
Now, f o r those of you
w h o have n o t seen 'The Mac-
September 16,1983
Neil Lehrer Report,' it is
important t o explain the ba-
sic method by which t h a t
show informs its viewers.
Some of y o u probably think
that i t took t h e reporters
twenty minutes t o read each
of three cue-cards. Not so.
Rather the reporters ask
q u e ~ t i o n st o each of t w o ex-
perts o n each subject w h o
disagree o n the issue a t hand.
Debate often arises from
these questions, and when it
does, t h e reporters simply lis-
ten, with t h e rest of us. T h e
purpose is n o t t o give an-
swers, b u t rather t o stimulate
questions a n d opinion. This
is a very refreshing change
from y o u r average local news
show.
T h e problem is t h a t with
the new f o r m a t , the viewer is
hardly given the chance t o
determine h o w h e feels a b o u t
an issue, before he is asked t o
consider another. Twenty
minutes is n o t , after all, a
very long t i m e t o formulate
an opinion, particularly a b o u t
such highly charged issues as
t h e three discussed that night.
We're n o t dealing here with
sports, news, a n d weather
reports; these are issues which
require thought.
One of t h e fundamental
problems with news o n
commercial TV is t h a t it
feels compelled t o say every-
thing a b o u t everything. T h e
result is a 'Machine-gun ap-
proach' which usually gets
the bullets fired, b u t often
misses t h e target.
I am n o t proposing t h a t
news reporting can or should
be completely specialized.
Obviously, a certain public
interest is served b y t h e gen-
eral approach. Still, I think
t h a t there are certain topics
a b o u t which a superficial
knowledge is almost useless,
. if n o t dow'hright harmful.
Sure it would b e great if w e
could all acquire a complete
understanding of every pos-
sible issue, b u t recognizing
t h e fact t h a t we c a n n o t , o u r
next best h o p e is t o acquire a
thorough comprehension of a
slightly m o r e manageable
spectrum.

Braves baftle Sycamore to s talemate
by Anna Batsakes
The varsity soccer Braves and
the Sycamore Aves fought each
other endlessly last Tuesday night
resulting in a shut out for both
teams.
"It was an even match," said
varsity coach Vockell. "The
Braves played really well. Syca-
more is the top team in the
league, and we definitely gave
them a rough time."
The Braves played well the
previous Saturday when they beat
Moeller 3-1. Juniors Dave Schnei-
der and sophomores Scott Seibert
and Steve Womack provided the
winning goals.
In their game against Milford
on September 6 the Braves man-
aged to tie with a score of 2-2.
Womack provided both goals.
Despite their recent winnings
the Braves lost a game to Hamil-
ton 4-1 on September 3. The
only goal was casted by junior
Curtis Ott.

In keeping with their win-
ning tradition of t h e past, the
Indian Hill varsity girls' tennis
team remains undefeated
with a 7-0 record. Their most
recent victory occurred a-
gainst Mariemont this past
Tuesday. T h e Lady Braves
won, as Coach Cindy Crilley
puts it, "a surprisingly easy
victory," 5-0.
Dominating their double A

Squaws also had easy victor-
ies in the five matches preced-
ing their win over M ariem on t.
Indian Hill's unfortunate
opponents included Walnut
Hills, Deer Park, WYom ing,
Princeton, and Sycamore.
Indian Hill's superiority in
tennis is also shown by t h e
fact that they've only lost

dividual matches played thus
far this season. Coach Crilley
comments, "It's a good feel-

by Anna Batsakes
Rick McFadden, girls varsity
soccer coach, resigned after three
seasons of working with the
Squaws.
According to Miss Carol Weh-
mann, coach McFadden believed
that at this point in time it was
necessary for him to leave the IH
program.
Many controversies had arisen
among the coach, his team mem-
bers and their parents which had
failed to be worked out.
McFadden stresses, "It was a
difference of opinion between the
administration and myself. My
resignation had nothing to do
with any team members or their
parents.
"The administration and I had
different ideas for the girls pro-
gram. They felt that I was work-
ing the girls too hard and taking
training and games too seriously."
In the 1980-81 school year
McFadden began
coaching, only seven girls tried
out for the team. "We were beg-
ging for players then" he said.
"This year's a bit different, we
and JV team."

IH finished second in a
h o m e tri-meet Tuesday, Sep-
tember 13. Glen Este won
with 1 8 points, defeating IH,
with 5 4 , and Deer Park, with
65.
Sophomore David Ahlert
led the Braves with a seventh-
place time of 1 8 : 5 3 on the
difficult 5 0 0 0 meter (3.1
mile) course. Junior Paul
Monach and freshman R o b
Nichols finished soon after,
with ninth and eleventh-place
times of 19:03 and 19:17,
respectively.
In the girls' race, which
also included runners from
Ursuline, Neu won easily over
what was supposed, before
t h e race, t o be tough compe-
tition. Her time for two and
a half miles was 18:47.
IH finished 1 4 t h of 17 in
the Reading Invitational held
at Sycamore High School last
Saturday. T h e team would
have probabIy finished higher
if i t had n o t been without the
services of Ahlert.
Monach led IH, placing
39th of a field of 1 10 with an
1 8 ~ 2 4time on the fast 5000

coach Robert West, "Our
non-league opponents are the
finest in the city - we haven't
played any easy team o u t of
the league."
West attributed the seem-
ingly poor 3-6 start that the
Braves have opened with as
misleading because the Braves
have played several city
powerhouses, which he
termed as "just excellent."
The Braves upped their
EHL mark t o 3-1, second
only t o Sycamore, with a win
on Tuesday over Mariemont
a t t h e Terrace Park country
club. Senior Bill Louder was
medalist as he shot an even-
par 37.
Sycamore handed the
Braves their only league loss
on Monday, as IH placed last
in a three team event. Syca-
more placed first with a score
of 1 6 0 and Wyoming finished
second with a 1 6 3 . IH shot a
1 6 8 for last. T h e other

The other losses were what
West termed as "losses t o the

Braves have lost t o St. Xavier,
Elder twice, and Moeller this
season.
St. Xavier defeated the
Braves on September 9. But
t w o of the best matches of
the season came against
powerhouse Elder, rated o n e
of the t o p three teams in the

other loss has come a t the
hands of Moeller, 161-172,

Statistically, the Braves are
led by Louder, whose steady

Mr. Jack Tolson, a main-

problem was noticed by
maintenance workers upon
their arrival early Monday.
He realized there was a prob-

nature and location of the

line running along the roof of
the high school burned out,
causing the outage.
Tolson was unsure of the
exact cause of the burnout.
He speculated that perhaps a
weak spot occurred in t h e
line due t o the lack of rain
over t h e last month. T h e rain
Sunday night, therefore,
soaked through the wire,
producing the weak spot.
He also stated that an
electrical "surge" could have
caused the short. T h e surge
could have been produced by
turning the power back o n
after previously shutting it
off. Tolson did n o t feel t h a t
Sunday's severe storm w h i c h
