Non-league games hurt Braves
by Dwight Poffenberger

Basketball team lost a non-league
contest, 76-70, Wednesday,
December 16 against Turpin.
Before a sparse home crowd, the
Braves dropped their overall
record to 3 4 .
The Braves jumped out to a
quick 8-2 lead but had. trouble
holding it. At the end of the first
quarter, the Braves' 16-11 lead
diminished to a 17-16 deficit.
The Braves had fits trying to
conquer a tough halfcourt trap
by Turpin, but managed to regain
the lead a minute into the second
quarter. The Braves then opened
their largest lead of the night,
26-21, on accurate passing by
Sandy Geier and Ward Morgan's
two free throws and field goal.
Before the half had ended, Turpin
snuck into a 34-30 lead.
In the third quarter, the
Braves managed to stay close,
thanks to the leadership of senior
Bob Ulmer, who ended the game
with 30 points. The third quarter
ended with the Braves trailing by
six, 49-55. The Braves managed
to play Turpin evenly the fourth
quarter, but could not pick up the
extra needed points. Coach Dale
McKibben commented later, "It
was a poor effort on our part."
Braves bounce Mustangs
The varsity basketball team
remained undefeated in league
play this year by beating Madeira,
8268, at Indian Eill Friday, Dec-
ember 12. The victory brought
the Brave's EHL record to 3-0 and
3-3 overall.
Senior Ward Morgan's three
point play early in the first quar-
ter helped the Braves jump out to
a quick 7-0 lead. An aggressive
Braves' defense prevented the
Mustangs from taking many shots
early but with 2:35 remaining in
the first quarter, Madeira pulled
even, 11-11. The first quarter
ended in a deadlock, 20-20.
Led by Chip Sudbrack's 14
first-half points, the Braves went
into the locker room deadlocked,
4242.
Madeira jumped ahead to start
the second half, 4844, but Sandy
Geier and Bob Ulmer took the
Braves into the lead, 56-60, with
2 5 7 remaining in the third quar-
ter.
The Braves quickly lost their

lead when a technical foul was
called after a regular foul by Chip
Sudbrack. The Braves' rebound-
ing and defensive zone kept them
ahead most of the final quarter.
Witn 2:21 left, Sudbrack fouled
out, but juniors Terry Healey and
Dave Hancher made key plays late
in the game to secure the victory.
Chargers down Braves
The Indian Hill squad lost a
close non-league contest against
Forest Park at home, 52-55, Sat-
urday, December 6. The Braves'
record fell to 2-3 overall and 2-0
in the league.
The Braves got off to a slug-
gish start in the first quarter and
fell behind 17-11. The Braves' big
men had a tough night facing the
powerful Forest Park team.
Forest Park was deadly with their
outside shooting, which accoun-
ted for a 32-25 lead at the half.
Helped by a pair of buckets by
Ward Morgan, Indian Hill's lead-
ing scorer with 17, the Braves pul-
led within one, 34-33, midway
through the third quarter. De-
spite a tough Forest Park zone,
the Braves managed to end the
third quarter trailing, 46-43.
Opening the fourth quarter,
Forest Park had no trouble hand-
ling the full court press called by
Coach McKibben and pulled out
in front by a 5 4 4 6 margin. Good
defensive hustle by the Braves
enabled them to pull within two,
57-55, when time ran out.
IH drops Deer Park
The Braves defeated Deer
Park, 64-57, at Deer Park, Satur-
day, December 5.
Sandy Geier and Ward Morgan
each had six points in the first
quarter, but the Braves fell be-
hind, 19-18. Senior Chip Sud-
brack threw in nine in the second
quarter as the Braves outplayed
the Wildcats, 17-12 for a 35-31
halftime lead. Sudbrack, the
game's leading scorer, had 21
total points while Ward Morgan
added 16 overall.
The Braves continued to
dominate the game during the
third quarter but were outplayed,
16-15, in the fourth. The Braves
shot a very respectable 69.6 per
cent to a 60 per cent average for
Deer Park.
Braves open with win
The Braves opened their
league play successfully with a 57-
48 victory Wednesday, December
3 over Milford. The game was
played before a surprisingly sparse
home crowd.
Senior Bob Ulmer helped the
Braves open up a 13-0 lead by
scoring 7 of the points. Ulmer's
strength under the basket earned
him the game high total of 15. A
strong Braves defense held the
Eagles scoreless for the first 4:38
of the first quarter. Defensive
leadership was provided by sen-
iors Sandy Geier, Chip Sudbrack,
and Ward Morgan.
The Braves' momentum kept
flowing until the half en'ded with
the Braves leading 35-19. Mid-
way through the third quarter the
Braves couldn't find the basket-
ball and Milford edged back to a
score of 47-34. Three quick Mil-
ford baskets put them back in the
game 47-40 but Coach McKibben
halted the momentum with a pair
of time outs. The Braves offense
had trouble handling Milford's
zone defense, so they called a
four-corner offense to bring Mil-
ford into a man-to-man defense.
Six straight Milford points
after a questional jump call nar-
rowed Indian Hill's lead to four,
5 2-4 8. Junior guard Dave Han-
cher hit two key free throws to
further the Braves lead to 54-48.
Key rebounds in the last few
minutes by Bob Ulmer and Ward
Morgan iced the victory.
' Wildcats nip Braves
Todd Benadum watched his
shot bounce off the rim with one
second left as the Braves suffered
a disheartening 61-60 loss to Fin-
neytown's Wildcats at Finney-
town, November 29.
The Wildcats' aggressive play
dominated the first quarter as
led, 18-14. The Wildcat scoring
was led by Eric Roper, the game's
leading scorer with 27 points.
The Braves battled back to out-
play the Wildcats, 20-18, in the
third quarter and 16-13 in the last
period.
Junior Dave Hancher led the
Braves' offense with 15 points.

The Indian Hill High School
Distributive Education class is
sponsoring its ninth annual
Christmas Little World. DECA
juniors and seniors, with the help
of DECA sponsor Mr. Jim Ben-

through December 21. Hours are
until 8:00 p.m. today and from
12:OO to 5 :00 p.m. tomorrow and
Sunday at Madeira's Camargo Sta-

Little World is a store designed
for the young shopper (ages 2-12)
to purchase Christmas gifts for
their relatives and friends. To
help the young shoppers fit their
limited budgets, DECA class
members assist the young shop-
pers in the choosing of their gifts
from merchandise priced from
$.50 to $5.00. In addition, The

Council slackens coliseum liquor laws
by Annette Theuring
Coliseum concert-goers who il-
legally consume alcoholic bever-
ages in the public arena will find
themselves less likely to be arres-
ted than earlier this year because
of efforts of Cincinnati's new
mayor, David Scott Mann. In-
stead, police will be looking pri-
marily for illegal drug use.
Mann, a tax lawyer, was a key
figure in the investigations follow-

post of mayor. Blackwell, as part
of a massive public safety cam-
paign, had ordered a police crack-

youths were being arrested at
According to Mr. Benken, this
year's location at Camargo Sta-
tion is a definite asset to the
project because of its proximity
to a retailing center. The loca-
tion, however, was not easy to

secure plans for the storefront

Many members of city council
disagreed with Blackwell's move.
According to Paul Wardheimer,
Public information officer, the
feeling of an increasing number of
city council members was that,
even though the drug and alcohol
problem "couldn't be ignored,"
the huge number of arrests was
not solving the safety problem.
In a Chieftain interview, David
Mann expressed his concern. "I
never understood exactly what
the point was in making all those
arrests," the mayor agreed. "I
couldn't see how the eleven
deaths related to the crackdown.
As far as I am concerned, alcohol
abuse had nothing to do with the
deaths."

Seniors every year learn, via the great philosophers,
of Man's search for the just society. From Socrates'
time in ancient Greece to the present, the meaning and
establishment of justice have pre-occupied men, and
the founders of our own country set as one of their
goals "to establish justice." In fact, every day ques-
tions arise, trivial and monumental, pertaining to the
existence of justice, or lack thereof - "that's not fair,"
"give me a fair chance," "you're being unjust." We
speak of justice all the time, but nobody knows what
it means.
Students will naturally speak of justice on a smaller
scale than perhaps Jefferson, but the roots of a just
society, whatever the definition of "just," are not only
in its Constitution or its senators or its President, but
also in the people. The concept of punishment may
well be the most pertinent facet of justice, at least to

The Indian Hill football pro-

Cliff Hern announced his retire-

Just weeks before, Jim Stacey
quit his post as head J V coach,
which leaves the athletic depart-

Hern, who compiled an 18-28-
4 record in five years at Indian
Hill,said his reasons for stepping
down were personal, and he felt it
simply was time for a change.
"I didn't want to make just
emotional decision," Hern said.
"It was a progressive one. I
wanted to evaluate where the
Indian Hill football program was
going."

The Squaws took a comman-
ding lead into halftime. Melissa
Pope and Maura A'Hearn led the
scoring for Indian Hill.
Hern pointed to a "renewal of
tradition and dedication by the
players" as part of the way the
football program could back on
its feet again.
"We need a strong off-season
weight program," he explained.
All the good teams have one.
Football takes year-round dedica-
tion. We just don't have enough."
The 198O for was
very discouraging. During his
days at Indian Hill, the team had
a winning tradition and good sea-
sons. In 1962, Hern scored 121
points alone. This season, the en-
tire offense managed just 48
points.
Hern will continue to teach at
Indian Hill and be the head coach
of the junior high track team, but
he left the door open for the fu-
ture.
"If the right situation comes
up, yes, I'd get back into football.
It would have to be a job I want
and one I could grow into."

Every year when the holiday season comes around,
we are deluged with television holiday specials ranging
from cartoons to "An Opryland Christmas." We are
also subjected to what seems like a million commer-
cials for gifts to help celebrate the holidays. The ques-
tion arises, have Christmas and Chanukah become too
commercialized? Is the spirit of Christmas being
wrapped up in a cardboard box with shiny silver paper
and yards of red ribbon?

The third annual Elf Auction
was held last Tuesday in order to
raise money for the Beech Acres
Orphanage, the Neediest Kids of

The 613 dollars raised will be
donated equally to the three
charities.
Robin Greiner raised the most
money of all elves, selling. for
$50. The bidding for this elf
went up rapidly but at the $30
mark it became a duel between
Peter Graham and the eventual
winner Sandy Geier.
Brad Taylor was constantly
bidding "5 dolla" but was upset
when he did not get an elf. "It
was an American Capitalist plot,"
commented Brad.
The Siamese elves of Kevin
Egan and John Brophy sold for
$30, and a prized Mr. Garwood
brought in $23.

by saying that within the program
there is not intention of decline.
"People will have to tell us what
decline is," he beamed. 'We will

Bacigalupo has been at Moeller
as a coach for thirteen years, the
last four working with the varsity
linebackers. "I feel I was chosen
as head coach because of my
knowledge of the program," he
said, "both on offense and de-

continued from page 1
with a resolution demanding
equal enforcement of the law,
fvhich he then submitted to city
council for approval. Mann was
amazed when the initial proposal
was rejected on a 5 4 decision.
Why the refusal? With a trace of
disgust in his voice, Mayor Mann
explained that the council
thought they "shouldn't get into
it," that it was a matter best left
for the police to deal with.
Eater, the council considered
the proposal again and agreed to
pass it, provided that a paragraph
be added asserting that the coun-
cil had no desire to control or
regulate police action. In effect,
said Wardheimer, city council ac-
cepted the bill as a "sentiment," a
"moral obligation," rather than a
call for direct action. "I was will-
ing to sacrifice that much to get
the resolution passed," said Mann.
According t o Mann, "We had
two choices in enforcing the law
equally-we could either crack
down on tailgating parties at
football games as well as at rock
concerts, or we could opt for not
hassling anyone." The sharp de-
cline in alcohol-related arrests at
the Coliseum shows that the latter
route was taken and that police
seem t o be cooperating with the
plan.
Is the plan working? "That's
my impression," observed Mann.
"I'm satisfied with the way things
are going now."
CHEATING

classes that give me a lot of troub-
le." As an example, he said he
occasionally scribbles a formula
on his desk or writes a "cheat
sheet," since he doesn't believe he
should have to memorize them
all. "It's really just a backup, and
sometimes' just having written
then down helps me remember
them." Thus far, he has never
been caught. "I'm too careful,"
he claims.
He also claims that cheating
doesn't bother him morally at all,
though it would depend on the
extent of the cheating. "Copy-
ing a term paper or walking in
with full page of notes up your
sleeve is different." Thus, any
cheating he does is limited to
copying answers t o objective type
questions during tests, and he
usually has no problem obtaining
the cooperation of his classmates.
"I may have done it originally
without thinking."
CHIEFTAIN
/Hers favor M *A *S *H and NBC
by John Lilly
Although Indian Hill students
are outwardly hostile towards net-
work television, they somehow
find time t o watch one and a half
hours of TV daily. In a Journal-
ism I survey during the month of
November, IH students gave sug-
gestions of ways to improve tele-
vision ranging from the rational to
the incensed ("Shoot the boob
tube" being a prime example).
Yet Indian Hill students seem to
have a love-hate relationship with
their television sets. The average
student watches one and a half
hours of television a day, and he
rates the overall quality of the
programs he watches as 2.95 on a
scale of 1 to 5.
Strangely enough, seniors enjoy
network programming more than
any other class. While many peo-
ple thought television too child-
ish, the seniors rated national tele-
vision at 4, and the freshman
rated it at 2.3.
One topic upon which most
agreed, however, was the favorite
l% show. "M*A*S*Hn out-
scored its opponents by a gigantic
margin, getting almost four times
the vote of the second most popu-
lar show, "Soap." And
"M* A* S* H" received no
"worst" votes, while "Soap" was
in the running for dubious top
honors in that contest.
No one program can take credit
for being the absolute worst cur-
rently running network show.
That distinction be shared
by three shows, "Dallas," 'The
Dukes of Hazard," and 'The Mis-
adventures of Sheriff Lobo."
Each received one-tenth of the
vote, so no top dog may be pro-
claimed.
Another significant statistic is
the apparent dislike of local pro-
gramming as compared to net-
-work fare. Only the freshman
class thought local shows better
than those produced by the net-
works, and that preference was
only by a slim margin. One rea-
son for this is probably the fact
that IH students watch, for the
most part, entertainment pro-
grams, and the main products of
local stations are news and
re-runs,
Of those who do watch news
regularly, most watch channel 5
and NBC. Although many asked
for more information and news
shows, most IHYersrarely watch
these types of shows.

Few people in rock 'n roll

eighteen songs . on the album
(count 'em - eighteen!), only two
bite the big one. Some songs are
merely good, others great.
Side one kicks in with the
propulsive "Clean Money." Then
"Girls Talk" comes in with all the
ironic twists that typify Costello's
work. However, Dave Edmund's
version of the song captures the

Side two starts with a classic R

eighteen tracks on this album, this
song is totally appropriate. Then,

All of a sudden, though, the
driving force of "Tiny Steps" and
"I don't Want to Go to Chelsea"
is negated with the lame "Doctor

doesn't stay down for long, due
to "Sunday's Best," the tight

with a resolution demanding
equal enforcement of the law,
fvhich he then submitted to city
council for approval. Mann was
amazed when the initial proposal
was rejected on a 5 4 decision.
Why the refusal? With a trace of
disgust in his voice, Mayor Mann
explained that the council
thought they "shouldn't get into
it," that it was a matter best left
for the police to deal with.
Eater, the council considered
the proposal again and agreed to
pass it, provided that a paragraph
be added asserting that the coun-
cil had no desire to control or
regulate police action. In effect,
said Wardheimer, city council ac-
cepted the bill as a "sentiment," a
"moral obligation," rather than a
call for direct action. "I was will-
ing to sacrifice that much to get
the resolution passed," said Mann.
According t o Mann, "We had
two choices in enforcing the law
equally-we could either crack
down on tailgating parties at
football games as well as at rock
concerts, or we could opt for not
hassling anyone." The sharp de-
cline in alcohol-related arrests at
the Coliseum shows that the latter
route was taken and that police
seem t o be cooperating with the
plan.
Is the plan working? "That's
my impression," observed Mann.
"I'm satisfied with the way things
are going now."
CHEATING

classes that give me a lot of troub-
le." As an example, he said he
occasionally scribbles a formula
on his desk or writes a "cheat
sheet," since he doesn't believe he
should have to memorize them
all. "It's really just a backup, and
sometimes' just having written
then down helps me remember
them." Thus far, he has never
been caught. "I'm too careful,"
he claims.
He also claims that cheating
doesn't bother him morally at all,
though it would depend on the
extent of the cheating. "Copy-
ing a term paper or walking in
with full page of notes up your
sleeve is different." Thus, any
cheating he does is limited to
copying answers t o objective type
questions during tests, and he
usually has no problem obtaining
the cooperation of his classmates.

without thinking."
CHIEFTAIN
/Hers favor M *A *S *H and NBC
by John Lilly
Although Indian Hill students
are outwardly hostile towards net-
work television, they somehow
find time t o watch one and a half
hours of TV daily. In a Journal-
ism I survey during the month of
November, IH students gave sug-
gestions of ways to improve tele-
vision ranging from the rational to
the incensed ("Shoot the boob
tube" being a prime example).
Yet Indian Hill students seem to
have a love-hate relationship with
their television sets. The average
student watches one and a half
hours of television a day, and he
rates the overall quality of the
programs he watches as 2.95 on a
scale of 1 to 5.
Strangely enough, seniors enjoy
network programming more than
any other class. While many peo-
ple thought television too child-
ish, the seniors rated national tele-
vision at 4, and the freshman
rated it at 2.3.
One topic upon which most
agreed, however, was the favorite
l% show. "M*A*S*Hn out-
scored its opponents by a gigantic
margin, getting almost four times
the vote of the second most popu-
lar show, "Soap." And
"M* A* S* H" received no
"worst" votes, while "Soap" was
in the running for dubious top
honors in that contest.
No one program can take credit
for being the absolute worst cur-
rently running network show.
That distinction be shared
by three shows, "Dallas," 'The
Dukes of Hazard," and 'The Mis-
adventures of Sheriff Lobo."
Each received one-tenth of the
vote, so no top dog may be pro-
claimed.
Another significant statistic is
the apparent dislike of local pro-
gramming as compared to net-
-work fare. Only the freshman
class thought local shows better
than those produced by the net-
works, and that preference was
only by a slim margin. One rea-
son for this is probably the fact
that IH students watch, for the
most part, entertainment pro-
grams, and the main products of
local stations are news and
re-runs,
Of those who do watch news
regularly, most watch channel 5
and NBC. Although many asked
for more information and news
shows, most IHYersrarely watch
these types of shows.

BacigoIupo t o make few

Monday, December 15 marked
the beginning of Moeller High
School's winter football program.
S&cely four weeks after its sek-

by saying that within the program

"People will have to tell us what
decline is," he beamed. 'We will

selves."
Bacigalupo has been at Moeller
as a coach for thirteen years, the
last four working with the varsity
linebackers. "I feel I was chosen
as head coach because of my
knowledge of the program," he
said, "both on offense and de-

Hern points to persona/ reasons as Aqua-squaws
win tri-meet over
cause of retirement from coaching Madeira, Mercy
by Kurt Dusterberg
The Indian Hill football pro-
gram fell into a deeper hole when
Cliff Hern announced his retire-
ment as head coach of the varsity
football team. The official an-
nouncement was made at a Board
of Education meeting December
3.
Just weeks before, Jim Stacey
quit his post as head J V coach,
which leaves the athletic depart-
ment looking for two coaches to
fill the positions.
Hern, who compiled an 18-28-
4 record in five years at Indian
Hill,said his reasons for stepping
down were personal, and he felt it
simply was time for a change.
"I didn't want to make just
emotional decision," Hern said.
"It was a progressive one. I
wanted to evaluate where the
Indian Hill football program was
going."
"I first stated giving it serious
thought after the Deer Park game

Despite the defensive efforts

Maura A'Hearn had an out-

The Lady Braves saw their
record drop to 2-2, 2-1 in the

Senior Cris Cucinotta put on a

The Basketball Squaws con-
tinued their winning ways, clob-
bering Deer Park, 48-13, Thurs-
day, December 4.
The Squaws took a comman-
ding lead into halftime. Melissa
Pope and Maura A'Hearn led the
scoring for Indian Hill.
Hern pointed to a "renewal of
tradition and dedication by the
players" as part of the way the
football program could back on
its feet again.
"We need a strong off-season
weight program," he explained.
All the good teams have one.
Football takes year-round dedica-
tion. We just don't have enough."
The 198O for was
very discouraging. During his
days at Indian Hill, the team had
a winning tradition and good sea-
sons. In 1962, Hern scored 121
points alone. This season, the en-
tire offense managed just 48
points.
Hern will continue to teach at
Indian Hill and be the head coach
of the junior high track team, but
he left the door open for the fu-
ture.
"If the right situation comes
up, yes, I'd get back into football.
It would have to be a job I want
and one I could grow into."

Liz Laichas
lays off the checkbook
by Rtck Ruskin
One of the more recent addi-
tions to the IH teaching staff, is
Liz Laichas. Mrs. Laichas first
came t o Indian Hill as a substitute
in the math department in 1979,
and has been under full contract
for the past two years.
"I like it here," stated Mrs.
Laichas, fondly called "Fluffy"
by her students. 'The teachers
are friendly, and the kids are a lot
friendlier than when we were in
high school."
Mrs. Laichas has also taught at
Anderson Junior High and
Northwest High School. Here at
IH she teaches Math 111, Ad-
vanced Math and Geometry.
Unlike the popular stereotype
of math teachers, Mrs. Laichas
does not enjoy the basic counting
activities which are so very impor-
tant in today's society. "I never
touch a checkbook," she revealed,
"and I don't like to keep score at
card games. Although, I don't
mind keeping bowling scores."
CHIEFTAIN Page 11
When she's not at school or
worrying about strikes and spares,
Mrs. Laichas spends the majority
of her free time with her two
children, Josh and Sarah (Little
Fluffy).
The Christmas Holiday is one
of Mrs. Laichas' favorite times to
be with her children. One reason
is that she and her husband Bill
get to try all the games. It's not
unusual when the Laichas child-
ren have gone to bed, for Liz and

'Berserk' Braves romp t o six straight
by Chris Schmalz
"GO berserk," was Coach
West's fourth quarter advice to
the JV Braves, who were slightly
ahead of the visiting Turpin
Spartans. West's advice obviously
had its positive effects, as the
Braves pulled out their sixth
straight win, 67-60.
Jim Morgan was a powerful
force in last Tuesday night's
game, as he scored his season high
21 points while also bringing
down seven rebounds.
'
I
The Braves trailed the Spar-
tans, 6-4, early in the first quarter
1 when Turpin's 6'4" sophomore
1 John Kushner started swishing
base line jumpers to up Turpin's
lead to a romping 12-4. But the
Braves battled back with help
from Dave Davis, who had four-
teen points and seven rebounds.
Jim Morgan and Jim Arnold
helped bring the first quarter final
to 14-12 in Turpin's favor.
Arnold, who had 15 points,
sparked the Braves to their first
lead as they took control, 24-17,
early in the second quarter. Mid-
way through the second quarter
Jeff Smith bumped into a Spartan
player and was charged with a
foul. His momentum forced him
to complete the pass he was
making after the whistle blew.
The referee felt that Smith was
delaying the game by not giving
the ball to him and issued Smith a
technical foul. Fortunately,
Turpin could only connect on one
of those four 'foul shots and the
Braves led, 31-30, st the half.

five rebounds, made many of his
outside shots to spurt the Braves'
lead to 46-40 entering the final
quarter.
"Our defense did it for us," re-
lated Jim Arnold of the Spartan's
unsuccessful final surge to take
the lead as the Braves went on to
win, 67-60.
A humble Jim Morgan com-
mented after the game, "We're
just a great ball club."
The JV Braves took sole pos-
session of first place Friday,
December 12, by defeating the
visiting Madeira Mustangs, 66-60.
The Braves started off strong,
led by Dave Havlovic and Jim

ing a 15-0 lead over the Mustangs.
Madeira's 6'0" sophomore Jeff
Homer, who led all scoring with
23 points, rallied Madeira to with-
in one point, 29-28, at the half.
In the third quarter the Braves
began to pick up a fast tempo and
slowly began pulling away, 51-46.
"Either team could have won,
but we played better defense and
had better offensive execution in
the fourth quarter," commented
Coach West.
Dave Davis, who had 14 points
and 4 rebounds, shot 83% from
the field to bolster the Braves'
play in the fourth quarter.
Another substantial reason for
the Braves' victory was their 70%
field shooting success, compared
to Madeira's 47%.
"We out hustled them," was
Todd Goldman's reply as to why
the JV Braves beat Forest Park by
20 points. THe Braves improved
their tecord to 4-1 with a 66-46

"Again we had four guys in
double figures, and a good hard
defensive press," commented
Coach West.
Dave Havlovic, who suffered a
twisted ankle in the third quarter,
lead all scoring with 17 points,
and snatched five rebounds. Jim
Morgan controlled the boards
with ten rebounds, while also hit-
ting fifteen points. Jeff Smith
added 13 points, seven of those
coming at the foul line.
The Braves played well
throughout the first half, building
up a substancial lead, taking a 33-
22 advantage to the lockeroom at
half time.
The second half was marked
by the Braves' outbursts in
scoring and good defensive play.
"Sixty-six points is an unu-
sually high number for a JV team
which only plays seven minute
quarters," related Coach West.
The Braves continued their
winning streak, smashing the Deer
Park Wildcats 62-46, for their
second straight league victory and
third win overall Friday, Decem-
ber 5.
Jim Morgan dominated play
with his game high of 15 points
and 8 rebounds. Dave Havlovic

rebounds. Jim Arnold and Dave
Davis sunk 10 points each.
The Braves played well
through the first and second quar-
ters and were up by ten at the
half, 32-22.
Todd Goldman commented,
"We had a good half-time talk
from Coach West, which inspired
us to better play." Coach West's
half-time talk obviously had a
positive effect, as the Braves kept
adding to their lead, making the
third quarter score 48-33.
"We had a real super job from
the whole team, not to mention
the four guys in double figures,"
said Coach West.

Seniors every year learn, via the great philosophers,
of Man's search for the just society. From Socrates'
time in ancient Greece to the present, the meaning and
establishment of justice have pre-occupied men, and
the founders of our own country set as one of their
goals "to establish justice." In fact, every day ques-
tions arise, trivial and monumental, pertaining to the
existence of justice, or lack thereof - "that's not fair,"
"give me a fair chance," "you're being unjust." We
speak of justice all the time, but nobody knows what
it means.
Students will naturally speak of justice on a smaller
scale than perhaps Jefferson, but the roots of a just
society, whatever the definition of "just," are not only
in its Constitution or its senators or its President, but
also in the people. The concept of punishment may
well be the most pertinent facet of justice, at least to

Non-league games hurt Braves
by Dwight Poffenberger
The Indian Hill Varsity Boys'
Basketball team lost a non-league
contest, 76-70, Wednesday,
December 16 against Turpin.
Before a sparse home crowd, the
Braves dropped their overall
record to 3 4 .
The Braves jumped out to a
quick 8-2 lead but had. trouble
holding it. At the end of the first
quarter, the Braves' 16-11 lead
diminished to a 17-16 deficit.
The Braves had fits trying to
conquer a tough halfcourt trap
by Turpin, but managed to regain
the lead a minute into the second
quarter. The Braves then opened
their largest lead of the night,
26-21, on accurate passing by
Sandy Geier and Ward Morgan's
two free throws and field goal.
Before the half had ended, Turpin
snuck into a 34-30 lead.
In the third quarter, the
Braves managed to stay close,
thanks to the leadership of senior
Bob Ulmer, who ended the game
with 30 points. The third quarter
ended with the Braves trailing by
six, 49-55. The Braves managed
to play Turpin evenly the fourth
quarter, but could not pick up the
extra needed points. Coach Dale
McKibben commented later, "It
was a poor effort on our part."
Braves bounce Mustangs
The varsity basketball team
remained undefeated in league
play this year by beating Madeira,
8268, at Indian Eill Friday, Dec-
ember 12. The victory brought
the Brave's EHL record to 3-0 and
3-3 overall.
Senior Ward Morgan's three
point play early in the first quar-
ter helped the Braves jump out to
a quick 7-0 lead. An aggressive
Braves' defense prevented the
Mustangs from taking many shots
early but with 2:35 remaining in
the first quarter, Madeira pulled
even, 11-11. The first quarter
ended in a deadlock, 20-20.
Led by Chip Sudbrack's 14
first-half points, the Braves went
into the locker room deadlocked,
4242.
Madeira jumped ahead to start
the second half, 4844, but Sandy
Geier and Bob Ulmer took the
Braves into the lead, 56-60, with
2 5 7 remaining in the third quar-
ter.
The Braves quickly lost their

lead when a technical foul was
called after a regular foul by Chip
Sudbrack. The Braves' rebound-
ing and defensive zone kept them
ahead most of the final quarter.
Witn 2:21 left, Sudbrack fouled
out, but juniors Terry Healey and
Dave Hancher made key plays late
in the game to secure the victory.
Chargers down Braves
The Indian Hill squad lost a
close non-league contest against
Forest Park at home, 52-55, Sat-
urday, December 6. The Braves'
record fell to 2-3 overall and 2-0
in the league.
The Braves got off to a slug-
gish start in the first quarter and
fell behind 17-11. The Braves' big
men had a tough night facing the
powerful Forest Park team.
Forest Park was deadly with their
outside shooting, which accoun-
ted for a 32-25 lead at the half.
Helped by a pair of buckets by
Ward Morgan, Indian Hill's lead-
ing scorer with 17, the Braves pul-
led within one, 34-33, midway
through the third quarter. De-
spite a tough Forest Park zone,
the Braves managed to end the
third quarter trailing, 46-43.
Opening the fourth quarter,
Forest Park had no trouble hand-
ling the full court press called by
Coach McKibben and pulled out
in front by a 5 4 4 6 margin. Good
defensive hustle by the Braves
enabled them to pull within two,
57-55, when time ran out.
IH drops Deer Park
The Braves defeated Deer
Park, 64-57, at Deer Park, Satur-
day, December 5.
Sandy Geier and Ward Morgan
each had six points in the first
quarter, but the Braves fell be-
hind, 19-18. Senior Chip Sud-
brack threw in nine in the second
quarter as the Braves outplayed
the Wildcats, 17-12 for a 35-31
halftime lead. Sudbrack, the
game's leading scorer, had 21
total points while Ward Morgan
added 16 overall.
The Braves continued to
dominate the game during the
third quarter but were outplayed,
16-15, in the fourth. The Braves
shot a very respectable 69.6 per
cent to a 60 per cent average for
Deer Park.
Braves open with win
The Braves opened their
league play successfully with a 57-
48 victory Wednesday, December
3 over Milford. The game was
played before a surprisingly sparse
home crowd.
Senior Bob Ulmer helped the
Braves open up a 13-0 lead by
scoring 7 of the points. Ulmer's
strength under the basket earned
him the game high total of 15. A
strong Braves defense held the
Eagles scoreless for the first 4:38
of the first quarter. Defensive
leadership was provided by sen-
iors Sandy Geier, Chip Sudbrack,
and Ward Morgan.
The Braves' momentum kept
flowing until the half en'ded with
the Braves leading 35-19. Mid-
way through the third quarter the
Braves couldn't find the basket-
ball and Milford edged back to a
score of 47-34. Three quick Mil-
ford baskets put them back in the
game 47-40 but Coach McKibben
halted the momentum with a pair
of time outs. The Braves offense
had trouble handling Milford's
zone defense, so they called a
four-corner offense to bring Mil-
ford into a man-to-man defense.
Six straight Milford points
after a questional jump call nar-
rowed Indian Hill's lead to four,
5 2-4 8. Junior guard Dave Han-
cher hit two key free throws to
further the Braves lead to 54-48.
Key rebounds in the last few
minutes by Bob Ulmer and Ward
Morgan iced the victory.
' Wildcats nip Braves
Todd Benadum watched his
shot bounce off the rim with one
second left as the Braves suffered
a disheartening 61-60 loss to Fin-
neytown's Wildcats at Finney-
town, November 29.
The Wildcats' aggressive play
dominated the first quarter as
led, 18-14. The Wildcat scoring
was led by Eric Roper, the game's
leading scorer with 27 points.
The Braves battled back to out-
play the Wildcats, 20-18, in the
third quarter and 16-13 in the last
period.
Junior Dave Hancher led the
Braves' offense with 15 points.

Council slackens coliseum liquor laws
by Annette Theuring
Coliseum concert-goers who il-
legally consume alcoholic bever-
ages in the public arena will find
themselves less likely to be arres-
ted than earlier this year because
of efforts of Cincinnati's new
mayor, David Scott Mann. In-
stead, police will be looking pri-
marily for illegal drug use.
Mann, a tax lawyer, was a key
figure in the investigations follow-
ing the December 3, 1979 'Who'
tragedy, when city council mem-
ber J. Kenneth Blackwell held the1
post of mayor. Blackwell, as part
of a massive public safety cam-
paign, had ordered a police crack-
down on drug and alcohol abuse
at rock concerts, and hundreds of
youths were being arrested at
According to Mr. Benken, this
year's location at Camargo Sta-
tion is a definite asset to the
project because of its proximity
to a retailing center. The loca-
tion, however, was not easy to
come by, as the group did not
secure plans for the storefront
until the week of Thanksgiving.
MI. Benken commented that it is
"really tough to find a place."

Many members of city council
disagreed with Blackwell's move.
According to Paul Wardheimer,
Public information officer, the
feeling of an increasing number of
city council members was that,
even though the drug and alcohol
problem "couldn't be ignored,"
the huge number of arrests was
not solving the safety problem.
In a Chieftain interview, David
Mann expressed his concern. "I
never understood exactly what
the point was in making all those
arrests," the mayor agreed. "I
couldn't see how the eleven
deaths related to the crackdown.
As far as I am concerned, alcohol
abuse had nothing to do with the
deaths."

Mr. Benken said that the Little
