Fishing and spring break go
hand in hand wherever you are
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, unfor-
tunately, 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 plas-
tic 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-

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

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 every-
thing 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.
The art of training often hidden
by Richard Stradling
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, how-
ever, who, if not absolutely loving
it, do tolerate performing the
necessary maintenance of ath-
letes: 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-re-
lated injuries. The student train-
ers accomplish this through a
number of methods, including
taping, icing, whirlpools, etc.
Wehmann, who had performed
most of the training duties before
CHIEFTAIN
Gerry Faust making adjustments
to life under the Golden Dome
During a recent visit to Moeller, Gerry Faust pauses in front of the doors
that helped open the doors t o Notre Dame.
"I never really paid much at-
tention to it. And it's the posi-
tion (head coach at Notre Dame)
that is important, not the man.
So I can't get a big head.
"I do,nYt put myself into a
group with (Knute) Rockne or
(Ara) Parsegian. They accom-
plished a lot with their own style.
I'm just trying to do the best I
can."
Faust is hoping his best gets
better this year in his third sea-
son as coach. After records of
5-6 and 5-4-1 in 1981 and 1982,
Faust says he "can see the light at

Miami University graduate Taylor,
who is currently employed with
Southern Ohio Sports Trauma
Center and is a member of the
National Athletic Trainers Associ-
ation.
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 num-
ber of reasons. Head student
trainer Katie McClorey sights her
interest in sports medicine as a
career as her reason for training,

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 bet-
ter.
"You never adapt to losing,"
but states, ,"for others, it's just an
activity like any other."
Though many athletes are not
openly appreciative of the train-
ers' work, most are comfortable
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 tap-
ing for his players at Dayton Al-
ter, stated he is "pleased with the
cooperation and effort of the
trainers" and maintains they do
an "excellent job."
Listening to coaches and ath-
letes alike, one gets the feeling
that Indian Hill is fortunate to
have its student trainers. And
remember, hidden under all those
pads, jerseys, sweats, etc. lies the
work of some of Indian Hill's
most talented students.
March 25, 1983
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 t o 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?

Exhibition to feature two /Hers' art
by Anna Batsakes
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 it is to have their
pieces selected," said art teacher
Mr. Larry Bernard. "This exhibi-
tion is presented at a professional
in his last article as a game of
"will against instinct."
It 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 lov-
ing" 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 t o 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
Trip Edwards and Joe Alexander display food drive donations.
leveL From approximately 2 0 0 0
pieces entered from twelve differ-
ent regions in Ohio, only 3 0 0
have been accepted for this exhi-
bition."
Both Stauft and Lemmel were
surprised t o have their work
chosen for the exhibit. "I never
expected my prints t o be sent t o
the state exhibition," said Stauft.
"Mr. Bernard just told me he was
sending them t o be judged o n e
day, and I agreed thinking no-
thing of i t "
your superiority. The only way
that this "game" can be con-
sidered competitive is ff y o u
choose an adversary comparable
in ability.
The only worthy opponent t o
man, as far as I know, is man him-
self. 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 it not more cruel t o have
starving animals competing for a
limited food supply than t o har-
vest them through hunting." It
seems t o me that animals have

"I cannot believe that my col-
lage project has been chosen,"

ugliest art pieces ever made."

many others, will be exhibited a t

I'm sure the starving people in
third world countries would
rather fight starvation than b e

I know this is a ridiculous
analogy, therefore making yours a
poor explanation as t o why hunt-
ers hunt. A defensive attitude is a
psychological red flag, telling
everyone around you that you
have a problem.
Hunters hunt because they
need t o achieve the respect and
superiority that they obviously
lack in basic human contact.
Anyone who feels the need t o
kill a peaceful unsuspecting deer
should seriously consider getting a

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.

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

Tennis Braves
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

disc review
Quality shot down
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
CHIEFTAIN
Sycamore,
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
by reverb in U2's 'War'
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 appro-
priate 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
EH
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
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 notice that it may dwell too much
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.

juniors as well as freshman Andy

"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
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

I just wish someone would fire

tones hurt

Know the facts. Stone throw-
ing, 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 lunch-
time stone throwing is relatively
legal for minors unlike the use of
drugs and/or alcoholic beverages.
Consider this scenario: a zone of stones. She, perhaps, is
group of idle students are outside
enjoying a spell of good weather.
It may appear on the surface to
be an utterly harmless occurrence,
but all too soon these idle stu-
dents 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

After college Rosemary will

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."
CHIEFTAIN
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 per-
sonal 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
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
I /
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 t o a
sense of awareness on the dangers
of throwing stones. It has be-
come apparent that stone throw-
ing 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.
A member of the 13 year club,
Mike feels "like Peter Pan. I've
liked it here and I wish I'd never
have to leave, but then some days
I feel like I just gotta' get outa'
here."

GOING FOR SPRING
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.
Writer's note: I sincerely apolo-
gize for the lengthiness of this
Student Opinion, but i t is a sub-
ject I feel quite strongly about.
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
affects all students and should
thus receive due space. Good-
night; I'm rather tired.

Green State University next year.
Mike is unsure as t o what he
wants to study, or for that mat-
ter, pursue as a career. "Maybe
I'll just be a fireman like I wanted
to when I was little."
Looking back, Mike has no
major regrets. He's a gifted ath-
lete, 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
semi-finals.
All in all, he's a typical Irish-
man - belligerent, spirited and
stubborn. If you told him this to
his face he'd probably turn, look
at you the way only Mike can,
with a knotted forehead, and say,

disc review
Townshend releases smooth 'Scoop'
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 en-
tire 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
Kriss Ashing - Baseball and Beth.
Mr. Powers - Craziness becomes
Chad Smith - It's warm enough to
get out and do things.
Brad Mason - I like to make
money and watch baseball.
CHIEFTAIN
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 poli-
tician 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
nics, the fresh air, ahhhh!
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 o n
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 u p
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 T h e
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
cause that's when the Mandle
Mania shirts come out for the low
price of $12.50.
Jeff Jordan -Warm weather, cold
drinks, and nice skimpy bikinis.
Merilee Black - It's warm and
school will be letting out soon.
Kim Ryan - School's out and I go

talks with an instrumental back-
ground (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
o n 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 t o come through bet-
ter in Townshend's rendition.
Scoop is a slippery-smooth-
sounding album o n 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,
Gail Nichols, the nice lady in the attendence office, flashes her smile.
but after that, the rest is history.
On their honeymoon, Mrs.
Nichols' husband informed her
that they were not returning to
Toledo, but she already had a j o b
and apartment. Consequently, Hill, one might say she is general-
the two ended up with Mrs.
Nichols' parents for three weeks.
In that time, she got a job at
Cavalier Audio-Visual, but that
lasted only four days, because
Indian Hill decided they needed
this "nice lady" to keep track of
CHIEFTAIN
their students.
That was 1976, and since then
there have been two additions t o
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

rather put up with the so-called
snotty rich kids than work some
place where there is the chance of
a knife being pulled on you. And
the myth that rich kids are
necessarily snotty is false, because
the children are the mold of their
parents."
She views her responsibility of
enforcing the rules of the Student

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-

age-problem, in that sense. Good

was when Joe was three times as
old as Fred. At present, their ages
add up t o twenty-four. What are
their present ages?
Answer t o
An Age- Old Problem
In solving any complicated
problem, it 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 t o 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 hell7Roo rolls in 'Hearse'
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!"

Only Mike Kearney could have
a cat named Kitty which comes
when Mike calls him. Only Mike
Kearney could be Bingo the

amuse himself more than the kids

Mike describes his relationship
with Kitty as "kinda like a game.
aver ance Kitty was a kitty I've
not let him take on the cat
attitude of arrogance. I've hum-
bled him; he knows I'm superi-
or," Mike explains. When Mike is
dropped off at home after a night
of tomfoolery, what awaits him?
His mom? Lisa Paul? A nice
clean room?
No, just Kitty. Kitty waits up
for Mike, and when a car pulls in
the drive-way Kitty runs t o the
auto to await his master. Believe
it or not, Kitty comes when Mike
calls. As Mike explains, "Kitty
and me are good buddies."

Another person who is glad
that Mike is not a "fag" is Lisa

helped me out and stuck with me
even after the stupid things I've
done. That's commendable."
The "stupid things" that Mike
has done are now, however, in the
past. You see, Mike has changed.
"I was nuts, I had no direction.
I was carpe diem (living for the
day)." But that's ad changed.

His mom? Lisa Paul? A nice

No, just Kitty. Kitty waits up
for Mike, and when a car pulls in
the drive-way Kitty runs t o the

Know the facts. Stone throw-
ing, 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 lunch-
time stone throwing is relatively
legal for minors unlike the use of
drugs and/or alcoholic beverages.
Consider this scenario: a zone of stones. She, perhaps, is
group of idle students are outside
enjoying a spell of good weather.
It may appear on the surface to
be an utterly harmless occurrence,
but all too soon these idle stu-
dents 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

After college Rosemary will

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."
CHIEFTAIN
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 per-
sonal 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
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
I /
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 t o a
sense of awareness on the dangers
of throwing stones. It has be-
come apparent that stone throw-
ing 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.
A member of the 13 year club,
Mike feels "like Peter Pan. I've
liked it here and I wish I'd never
have to leave, but then some days
I feel like I just gotta' get outa'

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.

gize for the lengthiness of this

ject I feel quite strongly about.
Besides, Kravetz ' article was even
longer, and what business does a

Green State University next year.
Mike is unsure as t o what he
wants to study, or for that mat-
ter, pursue as a career. "Maybe
I'll just be a fireman like I wanted
to when I was little."
Looking back, Mike has no
major regrets. He's a gifted ath-
lete, 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
semi-finals.
All in all, he's a typical Irish-
man - belligerent, spirited and
stubborn. If you told him this to
his face he'd probably turn, look
at you the way only Mike can,

disc review
Townshend releases smooth 'Scoop'
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 en-
tire 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
Kriss Ashing - Baseball and Beth.
Mr. Powers - Craziness becomes
Chad Smith - It's warm enough to
get out and do things.
Brad Mason - I like to make
money and watch baseball.
CHIEFTAIN
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 poli-
tician 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
nics, the fresh air, ahhhh!
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 o n
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 u p
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 T h e
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

talks with an instrumental back-
ground (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
o n 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 t o come through bet-
ter in Townshend's rendition.
Scoop is a slippery-smooth-
sounding album o n 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.

Tennis Braves

The boysy varsity tennis team,

brought home the Consolation
Tournament trophy in that
tourney as well as a second place

upon that second place finish is

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

Quality shot down
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

and every one of the ten tracks on

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

about beating Sycamore when he

we accomplish this year is beating
Sycamore, I'll be satisfied."

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 appro-
priate 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
EH
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
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 notice that it may dwell too much
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

funk musical aura.

"Two Hearts Beat as One" is

"Red Light" is visceral wailing

Again on "Surrender," Lilly-

Something's wrong with the

very good or I don't understand
them. At any rate, I am unquali-

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.

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 every-
thing 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.
The art of training often hidden
by Richard Stradling
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, how-
ever, who, if not absolutely loving
it, do tolerate performing the
necessary maintenance of ath-
letes: 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-re-
lated injuries. The student train-
ers accomplish this through a
number of methods, including
taping, icing, whirlpools, etc.
Wehmann, who had performed
most of the training duties before
CHIEFTAIN
Gerry Faust making adjustments
to life under the Golden Dome
During a recent visit to Moeller, Gerry Faust pauses in front of the doors
that helped open the doors t o Notre Dame.
"I never really paid much at-
tention to it. And it's the posi-
tion (head coach at Notre Dame)
that is important, not the man.
So I can't get a big head.
"I do,nYt put myself into a
group with (Knute) Rockne or
(Ara) Parsegian. They accom-
plished a lot with their own style.
I'm just trying to do the best I
can."
Faust is hoping his best gets
better this year in his third sea-
son as coach. After records of
5-6 and 5-4-1 in 1981 and 1982,
Faust says he "can see the light at

Miami University graduate Taylor,
who is currently employed with
Southern Ohio Sports Trauma
Center and is a member of the
National Athletic Trainers Associ-
ation.
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 num-
ber of reasons. Head student
trainer Katie McClorey sights her
interest in sports medicine as a

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 bet-
ter.
"You never adapt to losing,"
but states, ,"for others, it's just an
activity like any other."
Though many athletes are not
openly appreciative of the train-
ers' work, most are comfortable
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 tap-
ing for his players at Dayton Al-
ter, stated he is "pleased with the
cooperation and effort of the
trainers" and maintains they do
an "excellent job."
Listening to coaches and ath-
letes alike, one gets the feeling
that Indian Hill is fortunate to
have its student trainers. And
remember, hidden under all those
pads, jerseys, sweats, etc. lies the
work of some of Indian Hill's
most talented students.
March 25, 1983
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 t o 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."

Exhibition to feature two /Hers' art
by Anna Batsakes
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 it is to have their
pieces selected," said art teacher
Mr. Larry Bernard. "This exhibi-
tion is presented at a professional
in his last article as a game of
"will against instinct."
It 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 lov-
ing" 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 t o 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

leveL From approximately 2 0 0 0
pieces entered from twelve differ-
ent regions in Ohio, only 3 0 0
have been accepted for this exhi-
bition."
Both Stauft and Lemmel were
surprised t o have their work
chosen for the exhibit. "I never
expected my prints t o be sent t o
the state exhibition," said Stauft.
"Mr. Bernard just told me he was
sending them t o be judged o n e

that this "game" can be con-
sidered competitive is ff y o u
choose an adversary comparable
in ability.
The only worthy opponent t o
man, as far as I know, is man him-
self. 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 it not more cruel t o have

limited food supply than t o har-

"I cannot believe that my col-

ugliest art pieces ever made."

Fishing and spring break go
hand in hand wherever you are
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, unfor-
tunately, 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 plas-
tic 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.

late last week.
Seven senior high and three
junior level members traveled to
Columbus on Thursday, March 1 0
where on Friday they were met
by the other 22 club members to
finish second behind Mt. Gilead,
a fifteen time winner.
Senior Chris Wiech was named

IH student has ever won the dis-
tinction. In addition, Wiech won
fifteen other awards.

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

had never before played.

to their positions for the 1983-84
school year. In a tight race,
sophomore Tim Marsh was elec-

AIASA. Sophomore Chris Eaton
was elected State Reporter. Also
elected was freshman Eric Dahl
for the Southwest District Vice-
President.
The competition included 20
events in which Indian Hill had

The performance section was
judged by three judges while the
