Taxiderm ist Goodpaster a mong
the best after 50 years ot work
by Dwight Poffenberger
Cincinnati is fortunate to have
one of the country's leading
experts in taxidermy, and I am
fortunate to know him.
Woodrow Goodpaster has
been skinning mammals, birds,
and reptiles for more than fifty
years. He has worked for the
Cincinnati Natural History Muse-
um and the University of Illinois
on special projects. His ducks and
deer heads are seen on walls all
over the country.
Goodpaster grew up on a Cler-
mont County farm and has always
been interesies in animals. He
fishes and hunts, which "was a
way of life back then."
Goodpaster learned the art of
taxidermy on his own, through
trial and error. He says, "Nobody
ever showed me anything." His
first projects were small birds, but
later he moved on to bigger and
more complex animals. Today he
stuffs anything, from field mice
to whole foxes or coyotes. He
jokes,"I do 'em all."
Asked if he really enjoys
his profession, Goodpaster told
me "I enjoy it. You wouldn't do
Despite improvemer

Nearing the end of the season,
the JV basketball Squaws have
showed substantial improvement.
Their playing ability has vastly
improved since the start of the
season, yet they have still not
been able to noticably turn their
record around. The Squaws cur-
rently stand at 5-14.
Under the direction of varsity
coach Dick Pfuman during the
absence of JV coach Sharon
Cooke, the JV Squaws gave
Madeira a real run for their
money Tuesday night. Chris H e ,
the second high scorer agrees, "I
thought it was one of our best
games of the season." Even
though the Squaws lost, 36-26,
they gave everyone a glimpse of
their true potential, keeping the
game close until the fobrth quar-
ter. Pfirman stated, "We gained
respect from Madeira."

works out of his home and enjoys
working for himself. "When
you're working for yourself you
work harder," he said.
Goodpaster has done a great
deal of work for the Cincinnati
Natural History Museum, where
he worked as a young laborer.
Many of the exhibits one sees
there are his work. He occasional-
ly still does some work for the
museum.
Another project undertaken
by Goodpaster has been working
for the University of Illinois on a
small mammal exhibit. For the
past twenty-five years, Goodpast-
er and his wife have worked in
Arizona for a couple months each
summer on this project. He says
it's "sort of a vacation."
A hard working man, Good-
paster is not inclined toward vaca-
tions. Each day he starts working
at 5:30 a.m. because, "it's quiet
and I can get my work done." He
works until he's tired, sometimes
working twelve hours a day.
A great deal of pride is put in-
to such individualized work. "I

The Squaws came up with
their fifth win when they de-

Squaws had control of the game
most of the first half but then fell
behind in the third quarter,
17-14. In the fourth quarter the
Squaws pulled out way ahead
with help from the game's high
scorer, Chris Hall. Hall had 13
points total in the Mariemont
game, seven of which were in the
fourth quarter.
In an earlier league match
against Loveland, the Squaws did
not demonstrate their full poten-
tial. The Squaws played some-
what better as the game pro-
gressed, scoring most of ' their
points in the fourth quarter. In
the end, Loveland had no trouble
defeating IH, 40-23.
Two days before the Loveland
game, the Squaws did demon-

Twelve lHers to visit Spain in March
by Marjie Fink
Twelve Spanish students and
chaperone Mrs. Susan Trentman
are leaving for a three week visit
to Spain on Wednesday, March 2.
The students are Elizabeth
Gorman, Beth Myers, Mickey
Kamfjord, Missy Horstmeyer,
Jenny Lanham, Karen Everman,
Kim Sollinger, and Karen
McCurdy. The other four IHers
going to Spain hosted Spanish stu-
dents in September. They are
Kathy Slazyk, Brenda McDonald,
Elbie Herman, and Rick Abrams.
While Mr. William Fogel led
groups going to Spain for the last
four years, he decided to "let
someone else have a turn." Mrs.

democratic7' means of scheduling.
She also stated that the elimina-
tion of student decisions was a
minor loss due to the fact that the
declining enrollment has already
caused a majority of classes to be
taught by only one teacher, thus
eliminating the need to pick.
Smith also feels that computer
scheduling will create a greater
sense of objectivity for stu-
dents by eliminating the need to
choose a certain teacher or take a
certain class during a certain
period. She stated that students
will experience a greater "variety
of people and style" through
computer scheduling.
In addition, Smith stated that
students will receive their com-
visit El Prado, a famous art mu-
seum, and other neighboring
sights.
After their stay in Madrid,
IHers will take a train to Gandia,
a Mediterranian coastal city,
south of Valencia. "This will be
the fust time most of these stu-
dents will be on a train, so it
should be an interesting experi-
ence," Mr. Fogel states.
In March each year, Spain
celebrates a festival called
"Fdes." It consists of the parad-
ing and burning of expensive

week, will be used by students t o

These choices are to be written
down on the selection sheet
where teacher recommendations
are also required. Smith empha-
sized that all scheduling sheets
must be handed in before Feb-
ruary 18.
After all sheets have been col-

master will be organized with fac-
tors such as Senior Search and
students' work contracts in mind.
After the master schedule is '
completed, the students' selec-
tions will be fed into a computer
where it will determine each stu-
dent's schedule. Although faster
and less troublesome than arena
scheduling, Smith acknowledges
that some conflicts will undoubt-
edly arise. She stated, however,
that these will be solved quite
easily with the help of the student
and his or her counselor.
Although computers were
iised several years ago at Indian
Hill, the high school is now one of
the last schools in the area t o
switch to computer scheduling.
Smith said she "expects positive
results" from the program in the
coming years.
Both Walker and Stauft earned an
honorable mention in pottery and
printmaking, respectively.
The Scholastic Art Awards is a
national competition "for the en-
couragement of student achieve-
ment" in various arts, according
to a flyer supplied by art teacher
Mr. Larry Bernard. The program
has been in existence for 56 years
and gives three awards: Finalist,
Key Award, and Honorable Men-
tion. The Finalist winners' pro-
jects are sent to New York City t o

tion.

Revenge on IH''s mind vs. Madeira tonight
by Jon Kitei
Indian Hill's Battling Braves
look to avenge a 30-point road
loss to Madeira's Mustangs tonight
at Parent's Night.
Coach Dale McKibben had
several thoughts about the con-
test. "We don't change our game
plan much from game to game.
We'll try to use our defense to
spread the game out and set the
tempo of the game in our favor.
McKibben added, "We want to
do a better job rebounding and
hold them to one shot each time
of poshession, which we didn't do
last time. We'll press and try to
force turnovers, as usual."
The Braves showed some long-
awaited winning ability as they
defeated a tough bunch of Love-
land Tigers, 62-57, last Friday
night. The Tigers had lost to
league-leading Mariemont in three
overtimes only nine days earlier.
The first time the Braves and
Tigers met, Loveland won in over-
time, 67-66. In that game senior
Jim Arnold tossed in 27 points.
This time around, Loveland
"held" Arnold to 24 points, but
he contributed his best all around
performance of the year. Senior
point-guard Jay Kohls also had his
best game of the year as he scored
eight points and shot the ball with
more confidence than he has all
season. For the second time in
three games, senior guard Todd
Goldman, unheard from for most
of the season, had a superb game
with nine markers.
As has been the case in many
of their games, the Braves played
the first half close. At the end of
the first quarter, the game was
knotted at 12-all as both teams
were a bit slow out of the blocks.
The teams continued to trade
baskets for much of the second
stanza before Loveland capital-
ized on some Indian Hill mistakes
to take a 30-23 half-time lead.
Traditionally this year the
Braves have played their worst
basketball in the third quarter.
This game, however, was an ex-
ception as the Braves shocked
even their own fans by scoring
nine points in the first one and a
half minutes of the third period.
This change of momentum
brought the Braves a lead they
failed to relinquish for the rest of
the game. At one point the
Braves were up by as many as
nine points, but Loveland's
comeback, on the strength of 5-
foot, 5-inch junior point guard
' CHIEFTAIN
Kip Funkeys 24 points, fell just
short. Two Arnold free throws
were icing on the cake for the
Braves as they registered their
third victory against 14 defeats.
The Braves met Milford on the
Eagles' home court two nights
earlier. This year's pre-season
EHL favorites have fallen on hard
times but were still too much for
Indian Hill, as Milford won,
60-50.
The teams played to a 34-34
tie with one half remaining. Once
again, the Braves started slowly in
the second half and found them-
selves down by as many as nine
points. The Braves fought Back
to within five points when they
found themselves in position to
tie the game. Arnold was fouled,
which led to a technical foul
called on an Eagle. If Arnold had
hit both ends of the one-and-one
plus the technical, the Braves
would have found themselves
down by only two with poses-
sion of the ball. Arnold hit two
of the three and the Braves failed
to score on the ensuing play, thus
squandering their biggest chance.

Season sweep on the line for JV Braves
by Brian Rowe
The JV basketball Braves have
lost their last three decisions in
the league, dropping to 4-7 in the
EHL and 5-12 overall, and killing
all chances of winning the cham-
pionship. Thus, tonight's game
versus Madeira has no bearing on
the EHL race, but as guard Dave
Stanforth explains, "We're play-
ing for pride now; none of us has
given up. "
Stanforth was the hero in the
Braves' fust game against Madeira,
a 55-53 overtime win, January 7.
Stanforth made the two free
throws in the final seconds to
clinch the victory. Tonight, how
well Pete Seremetis and Curtis Ott
can contain Madeira center Steve
Henke could be a big factor.
Slow starts have been a prob-
lem in many of IH's contests, and
this problem was especially ob-
vious in the Braves' most recent
losses, to Loveland and Milford.
Both games were decided in the
first half. The Loveland game, on
February 4, was a complete di-
~aster,as the Tigers bested the
Braves, 5843. Ott paced the IH
offense with 17 points.

ten points. Kohls and Morgan
were nlso awarded stars; Kohls
for his four points, two steals, and
two assists, Morgan for his team-
leading 12 points, in addition to
four rebounds.
This year's Homecoming
game, a 7 0 4 3 loss to Sycamore,
was played January 28 and was
televised by QUBE Sports. De-
spite the misleading final score, a
star emerged as Goldman, starting
his first game this season, covered
every inch of the court on both
offense and defense on the way to
nine points and seven rebounds.
Of those two figures, the second
is the more remarkable, because
Goldman, at 5 feet 10 inches,
secured rebounds against oppon-
ents ranging from 6 feet 5 inches
to 6 feet 7 inches. Goldman
became one of the few Braves this
year to earn a double star.
Once again the Braves played
tough at the start. At the end of
the first quarter Indian Hill was
up 16-13. However, the Aviators
earlier was closer, at 40-35, but
the Braves' poor fust half hurt
them down the stretch. Sere-
metis scored nearly half of the
Braves' points, with 16.

Does TV reallv der,ict reality?
by John Bergman
Experts frequently explore
trends in their area of interest. It
is, I suppose, always nice to
stumble upon a pattern in the his-
tory of a certain subject, since
that pattern usually provides in-
sight into the future. I do not
claim to be an expert in social ob-
servation, but I have noticed what
I think can accurately be called a
new trend in television.
The trend that I am referring
to might be called facsimile televi-
sion. This is an attempt by TV
writers and producers to bring to
the public an accurate portrayal
of reality, with all the spontaneity
of real life situations. The two
shows which are presently at the
forefront of this trend are "The
People's Court" and "Lie Detec-
tor". Because both shows con-
cern themselves with the Amer-
ican justice system, they deserve
close attention.
The fans of these shows, and
of course the commercials which

In the last issue of the Chief-
tain, we were all told that
"Reaganomics" is no longer feasi-
ble. But did the illustrious author
give all of us another choice? The
answer is no. In this student
opinion, I shall try to give answers
to my condemnations of our
economic problems,
As we have all heard, the bud-
get deficit is the one major ele-
ment that is stalling our economy.
Although there is some truth to
this, since 1934 there have been
eight surplusses in the federal
budget. Earlier deficits, though
small, did not hamper our pros-
perity in the 1950's and the
1970's. However, by no means
do I approve of federal deficits.
Many people often wonder
what caused the recession. At
this point I shall try to give an
explanation for those readers who
are still with me.

promote them, applaud them for
bringing the justice system into
the open. Since neither show uses
a script, each offers a spontane-
ous sampling of a real-life situa-
tion.
"The People's Court" presents
actual civil suits. All lines are un-
rehearsed and, since the judge is
certified, all decisions are legally
binding. "Lie Detector" is hosted
by one of the most highly regard-
ed lawyers in the country, F. Lee
Bailey. The man who operates
the lie detector is also certified.
Supporters point to these facts
and conclude that these shows,
and others like them, come as
close to broadcasting real life sit-
uations as any TV shows ever
have. The best thing that TV
can do, they argue, is present a
candid view of reality to a public
that would otherwise be unin-
formed. These shows fill that bill
and entertain us at the same time.
What could possibly be wrong
with that?

Federal Reserve Board) and tell
him that interest rates are still too
high and that it is time fox the
Federal Reserve Board to re-
establish me historical relation-
ship between interest rates and
inflation."
Moreover, high interest rates
have caused the dollar to sky-
rocket, making imports cheaper
and therefore more attractive to
purchase. Furthermore, high
interest rates make it economic-
ally infeasible for industry to
reinvest in itself, thereby causing
industry to cut back its labor
force.
The worst part of this is that
the Federal Reserve Board is un-
touchable and even more alarm-
ing, it was put in by none other
than Jimmy the ex-President.
100 billion dollars is spent
every year just to pay the interest
on the national debt. If the inter-
est rates are where they should
be, at 7% or less, it would save the
government some 30 billion dol-
lars at least. Which would then
reduce the estimated deficit of
$208 billion down to $178 b l -
lion. So it now becomes quite

As I see it, while these shows
are at times quite entertaining,
they tell us very little, if anything,
about our justice system or any
other aspect of serious society. In
addition to this objection to a
lack of intellectual depth on the
part of both shows, each show
can be criticized for its own par-
ticular failures.
Two particular criticisms of
"The People's Court" question
credibility. First of all, while the
plaintiff and the defendant are
not professional actors, they d o
get paid for allowing their law suit
to be televised. While this may
not necessarily be objectionable,
it is a rarely disclosed fact that
the public is entitled to know.
Secondly, Doug Lewellen, a re-
porter, asks questions after each
case has been presented, which
can only be described as com-
pletely commercial.
"Lie Detector" has fewer

My primary observation, how-
ever, is that this new trend in
television programming is given
more credit than it dese~ves.
Supporters love to talk about the
objective way in which these
shows make the public part of
real life situations. I simply do
not believe this to be true. The
only way that red Sie situations
can be viewed without bias is if
they are viewed without third
party intervention. Any third
party who intervenes in the pro-
cess must, by his very presence,
affect not only the participants in
the situation, but the viewer as
well. In these TV shows, the
television camera must be consid-
ered and interfering third party.
There is no question that these
shows can be quite entertaining.
Surely, there is nothing wrong
with a little entertainment. What

AP's offer both benefits, drawbacks
by Lawrence Gallant
The Advanced Placement pro-
gram is a system through which
secondary school students can
earn college credit for courses
taken in high school.
Last year approximately
140,000 students participated in
the program nationwide. Stu-
dents in the program can earn
AP credit in a variety of subjects
including English, history, math,
foreign language, science, art,
and music.
Advanced placement is given
to a student in college based on
his or her performance on the AP
Exam administered the third
week in May. The AP tests are
developed by Educational Testing
Service (ETS), a private corpora-
tion hired by the College Board to
administer the AP's.
The content of each exam cor-
responds to that of a first year
freshman course at a university.
Each exam (except studio
art) is comprised of two sections:
multiple choice and free response.
In determining grades, the two
sections may have different
weights, depending on the test.
The free response section also
varies among different exams. It
is used to display skills such as
essay writing or problem solving.
Some tests involve the use of
audio visuals or tape recorders for
listening skills (music and foreign
language) or a projector (art his-
tory) for recognition skills.
The multiple choice sections
of each exam are machine scored
while the free response parts are
evaluated by teachers with exper-
tise on the subject who have been
specially trained to grade them.
This procedure is necessary to
ensure both consistency and fair-
ness in grading.
Each part of the exam is given
a numeric grade from 1 (no rec-
ommendation) to 5 (very well
qualified). The individual parts of
each exam are averaged together
and a final grade is awarded. A
score of 3 (qualified) is usually
good enough to obtain college
credit. Some colleges, however,
require a score of 4 or 5 while
others do not offer credit at all.
Most students take advanced
placement classes in high school
in order to obtain credit when
entering college. A college that
accepts a student's request for AP
status will credit the student as
having taken the class at the col-

Squaws still 'a half mile behind'
by Shelley Stanforth
The 1ndian Hill varsity basket-
ball Squaws head into the AA
sectional tournament next week
against the winner of the Oak
Hills-New Richmond game. Coach
Dick Pfirman is not too optimistic
about his team's chances. The
Squaws finished the season at 2-
19.
He feels the team has im-
proved slightly but that some in-
dividuals have vastly improved.
"I think individuallv we've im-
proved a great deal. As a team we
have only improved slightly. We
still have a long way to go," said
Pfirman.
Pfirman compared the season
to a track race. "It's like we
started a mile behind and even
with our improvement we are still
a half mile behind everyone else,"
he said.
Tuesday the Squaws dropped
a 38-20 decision to Madeira. The
outcome was a repeat of an earlier
match between the two squads.
The Squaws suffered a setback
when Mary Granger broke her
nose fighting for a rebound. The
team missed Granger's rebounding
strength for the remainder. Se-
nior Mandy Greisdorn said, "It
was a rough game. The officials

Greisdorn. The Squaws knew
they were in for a rough game, so
Pfirman played the younger
players more for experience.
The Squaws earned their
second victory of the season
against Mariemont, the Squaws'
first victim, 45-32. The girls came

close. During the second half
Mariemont could not penetrate
the Squaws' effective 1-3-1 zone

the team with 18 and 15 points

you must work for the state to
receive welfare. Why can't this be
done on a federal level?
The answer is big liberals want
more work programs like those of
the Roosevelt Administration. If
welfare recipients had to work for
a certain level of government, un-
employment would go down.
Another valve of this is the
money saved by not hi~ingothers
and not continuing to give welfare
recipients a "free ride," meaning
the government would only have
to pay for materials for work pro-
grams. This would create a sav-
ings of billions of dollars. To con-
tinue to cut the deficit, a 5% cut
in defense plus a 5% in social
spending would bring a total
savings of 30 billion dollars.
In addition, another 25 cent a
gallon tax on gasoline purchase
would raise 7.5 billion dollars in
new revenues plus a 5 dollar a
barrel tax on imported oil would
not only raise several billion, but
these measures would keep us on
a course of conservation and the
eventual downfall of OPEC.
Contrary to my train of
thought, Ronald Reagan is not
God. In fact he is anything but.

movie review
by Paul Monach
It seems to be a historical fact
that many of the most critically
acclaimed movies fail to become
box office smashes. Such a film is
David Attenborough's Gandhi, a
brilliant portrayal of Mahatma
Gandhi, the man almost solely
responsible for India's indepen-
dence in 1947.
There are several reasons the
average IH'er may not wish to pay
$4.00 to see this three hour, eight
minute movie. There are no sex
scenes, no obscenities, and no
raucous humor.
Most importantly, the film is a
serious, historical narrative about
the life of a small, humble, pious
man. But if you are in the mood
for a serious, thought-provoking
history and humanity lesson or
just an example of excellent film-
making, Gandhi is hard to surpass.
One feature that is particularly
inviting about Gandhi is that the
topic is relatively, and to more
than a few people completely,
unknown. The fact that the
historical subject is so foreign in-
creases the interest of the film.
Another important point is that
while the film is factual and strict-
ly historical, it is not a documen-
tary. It is more of a controlled
glorification of the man and his
deeds, but Gandhi was a man
worthy of glorification.
As a historical, biographical
film, Gandhi has no plot per se,
and any idea of relating the entire
story is rather ludicrous. Instead,
while there are many excellent
scenes, I have chosen to describe
in relative detail several which
were especially representative of
the movie.
The film basically covers the
life of Mahatma Gandhi from his
twenties in South Africa to his
assassination in 1948. The first
scene is Gandhi's assassination by
a Hindu. The next scene, Gan-
dhi's funeral procession, reveals
early in the film the great adora-
tion given to the Mahatma by
most of India. The sheer numbers
of people and authenticity of the
wailing are astounding. A report-
er overlooking the procession
gives a sort of introduction to the
main part of the movie by re-
marking with incredulity how this
little man won both the hearts of
his people and his peaceful fight
against the British Empire.
The scene flashes back to the
CHIEFTAIN
1880's and the interior, and ob-
viously fustclass, of a train in
South Africa. The young Gandhi
occupies this secluded and exclu-
sive cabin. He is by occupation
an attorney, and has recently
come from London, where he has
received his education. The epit-
ome of British imperialists in-
forms Gandhi that as a "co-
loured," he cannot sit first class.
When Gandhi replies that he is
an attorney, the man responds
that there are no coloured attor-
neys in South Africa. Gandhi re-
plies to the effect that "I am an
attorney, so evidently there are
coloured attorneys in South
Africa." Thus begins Gandhi's
lifelong career of fighting injustice
with civil disobedience ;he refuses
to move, and is booted off the
train at the next station.
Gandhi proceeds to gain in-
fluence in the large Indian minori-
ty in South Africa and always ur-
ges a peaceful war on injustice.
Gandhi's first organized protest,
concerning a law requiring all In-
dians to hold certificates of iden-
tification, also becomes his first
clash with true British authority.
In this, one of the most emo-
tional scenes in the film, another
facet of Gandhi's personality is
revealed: the fact that he will
never give up fighting for his
cause. Here, Gandhi proceeds to
burn the certificates, but each
time he bums one he is struck
with a stick by the British officer.
Several times he struggles up to
light another, but finally he suc-
cumbs to unconsciousness.
Soon after being sent to prison
with many others for his
"crimes", Gandhi is summoned
before a high British official, who
informs him that many of the
regulations, by order of the Brit-
ish government, have been
dropped. Gandhi notches his first
victory, and decides to return to
India, his homeland.
The portrayal of Gandhi's
time in South Africa provides a
prelude to the man and his later
actions in India. The remainder,
and great majority of the film
covers Gandhi's career step by
step in his fight agianst the British
government .
He burns English cloth, which
has a forced monopoly in India,
and marches to the sea to make
salt, which is also illegal. Each
time the Mahatma is arrested the
British suffer because of public
outcry. He fasts nearly to the
point of death twice, the second
time successfully stopping Hindu
vs. M~slem riots shortly after
India's independence.
Another of the most moving
scenes, showing the people's de-
votion to Gandhi's principles,
occurs when a group of Indians
march four at a time to peacefully
take over a salt works. The gate is
barred, and each man is beaten as
he arrives at the gate, but they
continue to file forward.
The film ends the way it be-
gan, with Gandhi's assassination.
With Indian music singing plain-
tively in the background, Gan-
dhi's ashes are dumped in the sea
near his home town.
Gandhi succeeds for several
reasons. The most important
reason, perhaps, is the superior
acting of Ben Kingsley as Gandhi.
Kingsley earns the highest tribute
payable to an actor: he becomes
Gandhi. This transferral is en-
hanced by two or three shifts
from the film to old British news
flicks: the similarity is astound-
ing. The parts of members of the
swarming Indian populace are also
played with intense feeling and
humanity.
The scenery is equally magnif-
icent. One sees outside a train the
countryside of central India and
the intense poverty that goes with
it. The scenes of the tremendous-

Education, however, is not the
singular reason for Powers' exist-

his family's company an& swirris
religiously. "A day without
swimming is like a meal without a
glass of wine," he claims. Powers
also enjoys listening to classical
and folk music and reading, es-
pecially in the area of New Tes-
tament research.
As the last avocation might
suggest, Powers is a very religious
Roman Catholic. His wife and he
have both served in the past for
Engaged Encounter, a group run
by the Catholic Church to help
couples deal with the transition
into married life.

and its inhabitants.
In complete contrast are the
buildings inhabited by such high
British officials as the viceroy.
These ornate buildings with lavish
furnishings and gardens emphasize
the differences between the Brit-
ish and the natives.
The main reason Gandhi is
seen as an ''important" film is be-
cause of the historical impor.tance
of the topic and because of the
factual presentation.
Lastly, the sheer quality of
Gandhi as a whole cannot be
overemphasized. Scenes of emo-
tion, light humor, debate, and
intellectual discussion are played
to perfection. Despite the mas-
siveness of the movie, it is not
overwhelming and is complete.
Violence, as it was prevalent at
the time, is prevalent is parts of
Gandhi; but nothing is so violent
to even warrant being edited from
television.
Attenborough, also the creator
of the quality PBS nature series
Life on Earth, spent over 20 years
trying to create his life's master-
piece. Fighting studios' inhibi-
tions about sponsoring an expen-
sive film with little chance of
tremendous box-office turnout
and fighting other incredibly ob-
scure obstacles such as the Corn-
mittee to Fight Films about

mented the story of a lifetime in a

correct choice, at least from a
material standpoint, because he
closed the deal this past Wednes-
day to buy a BMW with some of
his profits.
Whether he is playing the role
of teacher, philosophy student,
peer counselor, or capitalist,
Powers seems to bring a conscien-
tious outlook to virtually any
activity.
"My religion permits me t o
believe that God is very active in
what is going down on Wall Street
and in what's going on in terms of
defense policy. And although we
don't understand it very clearly,
there's not a barrier between
being interested in God and being
interested in the world."

Although many IHers cannot
say her name, much less spell it,
Ase Asberg has made a name for
herself at Indian Hill.
Her outgoing, bubbly person-
ality has earned her many close
friends at Indian Hill despite the
fact that she is an exchange stu-
dent from Norway. Participating
in the Rotary exchange, Ase is
living with Arthur and Hazel
Johnsen until July when she will
return to her native town of
Bronnovysund.
The Johnsens are relatives of
Ase's, a fact which has made her
stay more comfortable. Mr.
Johnsen heads this district of the
Rotary program, so Ase has no
problems putting in her word.
She says her specific relation to
the Johnsons is "so complicated,
I don't know."
When asked why she chose to
come live in the United States for
a year she replies, simply, "I don't
know. One of the biggest reasons
was that my English was so bad."

Thanks to her close friends, Ase's

Ase says she misses her family

She comes from a family with
two brothers, one older and one

United States was fostered by her
older brother who had been here
previously.
The journey from Norway was
the most frightening experience in
her life. She had never travelled

landed in New York, her fears
escalated when no one greeted
her. The Johnsons had accidently
waited at the wrong gate. Even-

before I became involved in the
Straight program. But I think I've
come a long way, and I've learned
that if I feel good about myself

Probably the most important
thing to Dave is helping others.
His job at Straight is extremely
time consuming but he values it
immensly. What does his job
entail? "I work very intensely
with kids that have problems with
drugs," Dave explains.
Dave's intense working habits
sometimes carry him well into the

there have been times when

Dave frequently dreams about
Florida. "I love going to the
beach, being in the sun and sail-

"I really feel good about it."
As far as postgraduation plans
go, Dave plans to go to college
and major in psychology. From
there he plans to further his
studies in psychology and major
in the treatment of chemical sub-
stance dependency.
I t is quite evident that Dave
Gottesman cares a lot about other
people. He devotes much of his
time to helping people deal with
their personal problems.
But Dave is not unlike any
other IH senior - he has his
dreams. In fact, he was once
overheard saying "someday I'm
going to be rich and famous and
live in California driving a red
Mercedes 450 SL."

you must work for the state to
receive welfare. Why can't this be
done on a federal level?
The answer is big liberals want
more work programs like those of
the Roosevelt Administration. If
welfare recipients had to work for
a certain level of government, un-
employment would go down.
Another valve of this is the
money saved by not hi~ingothers
and not continuing to give welfare
recipients a "free ride," meaning
the government would only have
to pay for materials for work pro-
grams. This would create a sav-
ings of billions of dollars. To con-
tinue to cut the deficit, a 5% cut
in defense plus a 5% in social
spending would bring a total
savings of 30 billion dollars.
In addition, another 25 cent a
gallon tax on gasoline purchase
would raise 7.5 billion dollars in
new revenues plus a 5 dollar a
barrel tax on imported oil would
not only raise several billion, but
these measures would keep us on
a course of conservation and the
eventual downfall of OPEC.
Contrary to my train of
thought, Ronald Reagan is not
God. In fact he is anything but.

AP's offer both benefits, drawbacks
by Lawrence Gallant
The Advanced Placement pro-
gram is a system through which
secondary school students can
earn college credit for courses
taken in high school.
Last year approximately
140,000 students participated in
the program nationwide. Stu-
dents in the program can earn
AP credit in a variety of subjects
including English, history, math,
foreign language, science, art,
and music.
Advanced placement is given
to a student in college based on
his or her performance on the AP
Exam administered the third
week in May. The AP tests are
developed by Educational Testing
Service (ETS), a private corpora-
tion hired by the College Board to
administer the AP's.
The content of each exam cor-
responds to that of a first year
freshman course at a university.
Each exam (except studio
art) is comprised of two sections:
multiple choice and free response.
In determining grades, the two
sections may have different
weights, depending on the test.
The free response section also
varies among different exams. It
is used to display skills such as
essay writing or problem solving.
Some tests involve the use of
audio visuals or tape recorders for
listening skills (music and foreign
language) or a projector (art his-
tory) for recognition skills.
The multiple choice sections
of each exam are machine scored
while the free response parts are
evaluated by teachers with exper-
tise on the subject who have been
specially trained to grade them.
This procedure is necessary to
ensure both consistency and fair-
ness in grading.
Each part of the exam is given
a numeric grade from 1 (no rec-
ommendation) to 5 (very well
qualified). The individual parts of
each exam are averaged together
and a final grade is awarded. A
score of 3 (qualified) is usually
good enough to obtain college
credit. Some colleges, however,
require a score of 4 or 5 while
others do not offer credit at all.
Most students take advanced
placement classes in high school
in order to obtain credit when
entering college. A college that
accepts a student's request for AP
status will credit the student as
having taken the class at the col-

Squaws still 'a half mile behind'
by Shelley Stanforth
The 1ndian Hill varsity basket-
ball Squaws head into the AA
sectional tournament next week
against the winner of the Oak
Hills-New Richmond game. Coach
Dick Pfirman is not too optimistic
about his team's chances. The
Squaws finished the season at 2-
19.
He feels the team has im-
proved slightly but that some in-
dividuals have vastly improved.
"I think individuallv we've im-
proved a great deal. As a team we
have only improved slightly. We
still have a long way to go," said
Pfirman.
Pfirman compared the season
to a track race. "It's like we
started a mile behind and even
with our improvement we are still
a half mile behind everyone else,"
he said.
Tuesday the Squaws dropped
a 38-20 decision to Madeira. The
outcome was a repeat of an earlier
match between the two squads.
The Squaws suffered a setback
when Mary Granger broke her
nose fighting for a rebound. The
team missed Granger's rebounding
strength for the remainder. Se-

Revenge on IH''s mind vs. Madeira tonight
by Jon Kitei
Indian Hill's Battling Braves
look to avenge a 30-point road
loss to Madeira's Mustangs tonight
at Parent's Night.
Coach Dale McKibben had
several thoughts about the con-
test. "We don't change our game
plan much from game to game.
We'll try to use our defense to
spread the game out and set the
tempo of the game in our favor.
McKibben added, "We want to
do a better job rebounding and
hold them to one shot each time
of poshession, which we didn't do
last time. We'll press and try to
force turnovers, as usual."
The Braves showed some long-
awaited winning ability as they
defeated a tough bunch of Love-
land Tigers, 62-57, last Friday
night. The Tigers had lost to
league-leading Mariemont in three
overtimes only nine days earlier.
The first time the Braves and
Tigers met, Loveland won in over-
time, 67-66. In that game senior
Jim Arnold tossed in 27 points.
This time around, Loveland
"held" Arnold to 24 points, but
he contributed his best all around
performance of the year. Senior
point-guard Jay Kohls also had his
best game of the year as he scored
eight points and shot the ball with
more confidence than he has all
season. For the second time in
three games, senior guard Todd
Goldman, unheard from for most
of the season, had a superb game
with nine markers.
As has been the case in many
of their games, the Braves played
the first half close. At the end of
the first quarter, the game was
knotted at 12-all as both teams
were a bit slow out of the blocks.
The teams continued to trade
baskets for much of the second
stanza before Loveland capital-
ized on some Indian Hill mistakes
to take a 30-23 half-time lead.
Traditionally this year the
Braves have played their worst
basketball in the third quarter.
This game, however, was an ex-
ception as the Braves shocked
even their own fans by scoring
nine points in the first one and a
half minutes of the third period.
This change of momentum
brought the Braves a lead they
failed to relinquish for the rest of
the game. At one point the
Braves were up by as many as
nine points, but Loveland's
comeback, on the strength of 5-
foot, 5-inch junior point guard
' CHIEFTAIN
Kip Funkeys 24 points, fell just
short. Two Arnold free throws
were icing on the cake for the
Braves as they registered their
third victory against 14 defeats.
The Braves met Milford on the
Eagles' home court two nights
earlier. This year's pre-season
EHL favorites have fallen on hard
times but were still too much for
Indian Hill, as Milford won,
60-50.
The teams played to a 34-34
tie with one half remaining. Once
again, the Braves started slowly in
the second half and found them-
selves down by as many as nine
points. The Braves fought Back
to within five points when they
found themselves in position to
tie the game. Arnold was fouled,
which led to a technical foul
called on an Eagle. If Arnold had
hit both ends of the one-and-one
plus the technical, the Braves
would have found themselves
down by only two with poses-
sion of the ball. Arnold hit two
of the three and the Braves failed
to score on the ensuing play, thus
squandering their biggest chance.

Season sweep on the line for JV Braves
by Brian Rowe
The JV basketball Braves have
lost their last three decisions in
the league, dropping to 4-7 in the
EHL and 5-12 overall, and killing
all chances of winning the cham-
pionship. Thus, tonight's game
versus Madeira has no bearing on
the EHL race, but as guard Dave
Stanforth explains, "We're play-
ing for pride now; none of us has
given up. "
Stanforth was the hero in the
Braves' fust game against Madeira,
a 55-53 overtime win, January 7.
Stanforth made the two free
throws in the final seconds to
clinch the victory. Tonight, how
well Pete Seremetis and Curtis Ott
can contain Madeira center Steve
Henke could be a big factor.
Slow starts have been a prob-
lem in many of IH's contests, and
this problem was especially ob-
vious in the Braves' most recent
losses, to Loveland and Milford.
Both games were decided in the
first half. The Loveland game, on
February 4, was a complete di-
~aster,as the Tigers bested the
Braves, 5843. Ott paced the IH

were nlso awarded stars; Kohls
for his four points, two steals, and
two assists, Morgan for his team-
leading 12 points, in addition to
four rebounds.
This year's Homecoming
game, a 7 0 4 3 loss to Sycamore,
was played January 28 and was
televised by QUBE Sports. De-
spite the misleading final score, a
star emerged as Goldman, starting
his first game this season, covered
every inch of the court on both
offense and defense on the way to
nine points and seven rebounds.
Of those two figures, the second
is the more remarkable, because
Goldman, at 5 feet 10 inches,
secured rebounds against oppon-
ents ranging from 6 feet 5 inches
to 6 feet 7 inches. Goldman
became one of the few Braves this
year to earn a double star.
Once again the Braves played
tough at the start. At the end of
the first quarter Indian Hill was
up 16-13. However, the Aviators
earlier was closer, at 40-35, but
the Braves' poor fust half hurt
them down the stretch. Sere-
metis scored nearly half of the
Braves' points, with 16.

outscored the Braves by nine in
the second session to take a six-
point lead.
After that, it was all Syca-
more. The Braves played a ter-
rible second half. Scoring only
four points in the fourth quarter,
a season low. The Aves were led
by 6 foot 7 inch senior Dan
Brinkman's 25 points. For the
second year in a row Brinkman
was the QUBE player of the game
in the Sycamore-Indian Hill clash.
The Braves shot onIy 3 1.3% from
the field and an even more
distressing 38.2% from the line.
Though Arnold earned a star with
a teamqeading 11 points, he shot
only 21%. He did, however, con-
tribute two rebounds, three steals,
and an assist.
With only three regular season
games remaining, the Braves hope
to peak for the AA sectional
tournament. Their opponent will
be number two seed NcNicholas,
which IH scrimmaged evenly in
preseason. The game will be
played Friday, February 25 at
Lakota High School. Kremchek
voiced the opinion of many of the
Braves in saying, "If we can win
one of our last three games, it
should give us enough momentum
to win at least our first tourna-
ment game." .

Does TV reallv der,ict reality?
by John Bergman
Experts frequently explore
trends in their area of interest. It
is, I suppose, always nice to
stumble upon a pattern in the his-
tory of a certain subject, since
that pattern usually provides in-
sight into the future. I do not
claim to be an expert in social ob-
servation, but I have noticed what
I think can accurately be called a
new trend in television.
The trend that I am referring
to might be called facsimile televi-
sion. This is an attempt by TV
writers and producers to bring to
the public an accurate portrayal
of reality, with all the spontaneity
of real life situations. The two
shows which are presently at the
forefront of this trend are "The
People's Court" and "Lie Detec-
tor". Because both shows con-
cern themselves with the Amer-
ican justice system, they deserve
close attention.
The fans of these shows, and
of course the commercials which

Ween Q ters
by Sam Green
In the last issue of the Chief-
tain, we were all told that
"Reaganomics" is no longer feasi-
ble. But did the illustrious author
give all of us another choice? The
answer is no. In this student
opinion, I shall try to give answers
to my condemnations of our
economic problems,
As we have all heard, the bud-
get deficit is the one major ele-
ment that is stalling our economy.
Although there is some truth to
this, since 1934 there have been
eight surplusses in the federal
budget. Earlier deficits, though
small, did not hamper our pros-
perity in the 1950's and the
1970's. However, by no means
do I approve of federal deficits.
Many people often wonder
what caused the recession. At
this point I shall try to give an
explanation for those readers who
are still with me.

promote them, applaud them for
bringing the justice system into
the open. Since neither show uses
a script, each offers a spontane-
ous sampling of a real-life situa-
tion.
"The People's Court" presents
actual civil suits. All lines are un-
rehearsed and, since the judge is
certified, all decisions are legally
binding. "Lie Detector" is hosted
by one of the most highly regard-
ed lawyers in the country, F. Lee
Bailey. The man who operates
the lie detector is also certified.
Supporters point to these facts
and conclude that these shows,
and others like them, come as
close to broadcasting real life sit-
uations as any TV shows ever
have. The best thing that TV
can do, they argue, is present a
candid view of reality to a public
that would otherwise be unin-
formed. These shows fill that bill
and entertain us at the same time.
What could possibly be wrong
with that?

talk with Paul Volker (head of the
Federal Reserve Board) and tell
him that interest rates are still too
high and that it is time fox the
Federal Reserve Board to re-
establish me historical relation-
ship between interest rates and
inflation."
Moreover, high interest rates
have caused the dollar to sky-
rocket, making imports cheaper
and therefore more attractive to
purchase. Furthermore, high
interest rates make it economic-
ally infeasible for industry to
reinvest in itself, thereby causing
industry to cut back its labor
force.
The worst part of this is that
the Federal Reserve Board is un-
touchable and even more alarm-
ing, it was put in by none other
than Jimmy the ex-President.
100 billion dollars is spent
every year just to pay the interest
on the national debt. If the inter-
est rates are where they should
be, at 7% or less, it would save the
government some 30 billion dol-
lars at least. Which would then
reduce the estimated deficit of
$208 billion down to $178 b l -
lion. So it now becomes quite

As I see it, while these shows
are at times quite entertaining,
they tell us very little, if anything,
about our justice system or any
other aspect of serious society. In
addition to this objection to a
lack of intellectual depth on the
part of both shows, each show
can be criticized for its own par-
ticular failures.
Two particular criticisms of

plaintiff and the defendant are
not professional actors, they d o

to be televised. While this may
not necessarily be objectionable,
it is a rarely disclosed fact that
the public is entitled to know.
Secondly, Doug Lewellen, a re-
porter, asks questions after each
case has been presented, which
can only be described as com-
pletely commercial.

My primary observation, how-
ever, is that this new trend in
television programming is given
more credit than it dese~ves.
Supporters love to talk about the
objective way in which these
shows make the public part of
real life situations. I simply do
not believe this to be true. The
only way that red Sie situations
can be viewed without bias is if
they are viewed without third
party intervention. Any third
party who intervenes in the pro-
cess must, by his very presence,
affect not only the participants in
the situation, but the viewer as
well. In these TV shows, the
television camera must be consid-
ered and interfering third party.
There is no question that these
shows can be quite entertaining.
Surely, there is nothing wrong
with a little entertainment. What
is wrong is to interpret this harm-

Taxiderm ist Goodpaster a mong

Cincinnati is fortunate to have
one of the country's leading
experts in taxidermy, and I am
fortunate to know him.
Woodrow Goodpaster has
been skinning mammals, birds,
and reptiles for more than fifty
years. He has worked for the

Goodpaster grew up on a Cler-

fishes and hunts, which "was a
way of life back then."
Goodpaster learned the art of
taxidermy on his own, through
trial and error. He says, "Nobody
ever showed me anything." His
first projects were small birds, but
later he moved on to bigger and
more complex animals. Today he
stuffs anything, from field mice
to whole foxes or coyotes. He

Many of the exhibits one sees

Twelve lHers to visit Spain in March
by Marjie Fink
Twelve Spanish students and
chaperone Mrs. Susan Trentman
are leaving for a three week visit
to Spain on Wednesday, March 2.
The students are Elizabeth
Gorman, Beth Myers, Mickey
Kamfjord, Missy Horstmeyer,
Jenny Lanham, Karen Everman,
Kim Sollinger, and Karen
McCurdy. The other four IHers
going to Spain hosted Spanish stu-
dents in September. They are
Kathy Slazyk, Brenda McDonald,
Elbie Herman, and Rick Abrams.
While Mr. William Fogel led
groups going to Spain for the last
four years, he decided to "let

She also stated that the elimina-
tion of student decisions was a
minor loss due to the fact that the
declining enrollment has already
caused a majority of classes to be
taught by only one teacher, thus
eliminating the need to pick.
Smith also feels that computer
scheduling will create a greater
sense of objectivity for stu-
dents by eliminating the need to
choose a certain teacher or take a
certain class during a certain
period. She stated that students
will experience a greater "variety
of people and style" through
computer scheduling.
In addition, Smith stated that
students will receive their com-
visit El Prado, a famous art mu-
seum, and other neighboring
sights.
After their stay in Madrid,
IHers will take a train to Gandia,
a Mediterranian coastal city,
south of Valencia. "This will be
the fust time most of these stu-
dents will be on a train, so it
should be an interesting experi-
ence," Mr. Fogel states.

The course offerings hand-
book, distributed earlier this
week, will be used by students t o
determine classes for next year.
These choices are to be written
down on the selection sheet
where teacher recommendations
are also required. Smith empha-
sized that all scheduling sheets
must be handed in before Feb-
ruary 18.
After all sheets have been col-

master will be organized with fac-
tors such as Senior Search and
students' work contracts in mind.
After the master schedule is '
completed, the students' selec-
tions will be fed into a computer
where it will determine each stu-
dent's schedule. Although faster
and less troublesome than arena
scheduling, Smith acknowledges
that some conflicts will undoubt-
edly arise. She stated, however,
that these will be solved quite
easily with the help of the student
and his or her counselor.
Although computers were
iised several years ago at Indian
Hill, the high school is now one of
the last schools in the area t o
switch to computer scheduling.
Smith said she "expects positive
results" from the program in the
coming years.
Both Walker and Stauft earned an
honorable mention in pottery and
printmaking, respectively.
The Scholastic Art Awards is a
national competition "for the en-
couragement of student achieve-
ment" in various arts, according
to a flyer supplied by art teacher
Mr. Larry Bernard. The program
has been in existence for 56 years
and gives three awards: Finalist,
Key Award, and Honorable Men-
tion. The Finalist winners' pro-
jects are sent to New York City t o
be judged in a national competi-
tion.

of the work we sent in. That's
pretty good," commented Ber-
nard after IH's success.
