Students Voice Their Discontent

by June Jager and Tammy Barry What is it that makes students unsatisfied with the school system? Is it the food, the schedule, the homework, or what? Many people were ready to give their opinions when asked what they would like to see changed at Maine South.

John Dano '78, replied, "Student teachers should not be able to take over the classes."

Steve Jeppson 78, added, "Maine South should get a bigger government subsidy for food.

There should be smaller-sized classes, and students should pick their own teachers. In science, they should pick lab partners."

A couple of students commented on dropping study halls

altogether. Lisa Collin 78, remarked, "We should forget study halls. They are boring and most people don't work in them anyway ' "Study hall teachers should give us a little more freedom to talk without being given a big hassle about it," said John Dorman '77. Mary Beilke '79, replied, "I wish we could talk in study halls. ' One anonymous person suggested, "We should be able to get a pass to go to our lockers during studies." Another person added, "We should have shorter bells because they drive me crazy."

"A lot of things could be changed," Nancy McLendon '79, commented, "like early dismissal for everybody and shorter

Troupe to Hold Tryouts Students from all Chicago and suburban high schools are invited to audition the weekend of March 13 and 14 for the Chicagoland High School Theatrical Troupe production of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, "South Pacific." Tryouts will be held at Josephinum High School, 1501 N. Oakley Blvd., in Chicago, starting at 10 a.m. and continuing until 4 p.m.

Rehearsals will be limited to Saturdays.

"South Pacific" will be produced by Nick Jason, a Chicago police officer, who directed 'Hello Dolly " for the Troupe last year. He produced and directed the Chicago Youth Theatre efforts for three years.

Director J. J. Stamm, chairman of the choral department at Taft High School, announced that singers should be prepared to perform material from "South Pacific" and dancers should be appropriately dressed for dancing tryouts. Musicians should

bring their instruments and be ready to play. Anyone wishing to work on stage crew should also report.

Others on the staff, include choreographer June Rold, and collaborator. Chief Tahooi. Both are involved with the South Sea Island Revue performed regularly at Shanghai Lil's restaurant on Chicago's northwest side. Chief Tahooi headlines the show at Shangai Lil's and will give instruction in Tahitian, Polynesian, and Hawaiian dance.

Errol Pearlman, musical director of the Goodman theatre and a member of the Taft High music department, will direct the chorus. William Caputo, technical director for theatre at Ridgewood High in Norridge, will serve in the same capacity for 'South Pacific." His assistant will be Michael Szalajko.

"South Pacific" will open a six day run at the Angel Guardian auditorium, Devon and Ridge avenues in Chicago on July 9.

class periods and. of course, better food."

Another commented, "We should have shorter school days and everyone should have early dismissal." Dan Varrige '77, simply said what he wanted: "Open campus. " Several students included the lunch program in their replies.

One student remarked, "They should have a stop light on Taicott and Hamlin. So many kids cross there and it is dangerous.

The cafeteria, of course, is a logical complaint." Randy Ehrenbrook '78, said "We should have longer lunch periods and more driver education classes."

Some people complained about they way they are treated here at Maine South.

Another anonymous student commented, "I would love for the administration to stop treating the students like little kids." Nancy Antosh '77, added, "I think we really don't need so much supervision (potty patrol, etc. 1.1 am sure we are all old enough to go to the bathroom by ourselves! " Another student added, "The administration doesn't trust the students and I'd like to see this changed."

Another anonymous suggestion — "Sophomores should have the chance to run for any Student Council office. After all. it is up to the students as to who becomes the officers." Diane Oprondek '76, suggested. "Sockhops after every home game would bring more spirit into the kids. " Many of these complaints have been in existence for a long while. Some have been spoken of many times, yet there are some that have not. Now that these various complaints are out in the open, maybe something can be done about them.

Who's Who Polls Over; Receives Good Response A nationwide poll of high school juniors and seniors by WHO'S WHO AMONG AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, asked these students their opinions on American governmental institutions and political leaders.

Eighty percent of the 22.300 students polled expressed either a "great deal" or "some" confidence in the United States Supreme Court, the Presidency, the two Houses of Congress and their state governments As to political leaders, 50 percent rated Fords performance in domestic policy "only fair" or "poor" because of his dealings with the country's economic problems. The students polled felt the economy should be the nation's number one priority.

When polled on the United States Congress, 73 percent did not think their elected representatives were persons of honor and integrity. Three-fourths said politicians were not voting the will of their constituents and 55 percent felt politicians' votes were too often influenced by major corporations and interest groups.

One issue students commented on was for Congress to pay more

Who are these voluptuous bathing beauties? Just a few of the band members who will go to Florida in March, of course. They are (I. to r.T: Tom Vravick '76, Bill Nesbit '76, Liz Thies '77, Dave Gawaluck '76, Fred Johnston '76. Sitting down are Bob Franzblau '77, and DeeDee Hohenstein '77.

A Letter to the Sports Editor Dear Sports Editor, In regard to your article, "Death Valley for Band"'" in the January 23 issue, we are appalled at your ramport disrespect for the facts. It is

Johnny Can't Read; Nor Can W e Do you receive themes back with an A for content and a F for grammar? Are 13b, 16b, 17a, 19i, 21f, and 37a through 37i common mistakes on those corrected English >apers? Well then, welcome to the majority of future col! ege students who will probably fail their freshman coUege English course.

Does the above sound somewhat ridiculous? Many people graduate from college. They must have passed aU of their coiu"ses, including English Grammar 101. Yet, according to a cover story in the December 8 issue of Newsweek (and an article by Ron Powers in the SunTimes), the English language is headed for disaster. For example, the lead sentence in the Newsweek article, "Why Johnny Can't Read," l)egan: "If your children are attending coUege, the chances are that when they graduate they will be imable to write ordinary, expository English with any real degree of structure and lucidity."

Our language, apparently, is slowly become incoherent.

Every student (or almost every) probably had trouble writing an English theme or reading an assigned passage from a book. Reading this article might be hard for some, mainly because writing this article so far hasn't been easy.

Thinking of what to put down for an article about the inabilities of writing in precise, clear English is an inability.

I hope all the English teachers at Maine South are having fun cutting up this editorial. But the above comment is a 23i: "Do not let an argument or discussion be confused by an irrelevant point."

attention to gun control legislation. Seventy-four percent wanted Congress io pass a law requiring registration of all guns, 12 percent favored Federal registration of hand guns only and 13 percent wanted no law.

Regarding the up-coming election, 96 percent of the students who will be 18, plan to vote in 1976. Most stated they would vote for candidates who supported increased spending for education (favored by 76 percent). pollution research and control (65 percent) and jobs and job training (62 percent). Students would also approve a politician who called for decreased spending for secret CIA operations (60 percent), and military aid to other nations (71 percent).

The "WHO'S WHO" students also felt more government involvement should be incorporated. Seventy-one percent thought the government should do more than control pollution and preserve the environment: and 54 percent favored enforced government regulation over self-regulation when energy is in short supply.

The students would support an additional program: 87 percent favored some type of government health care program.

The above exemplifies the illogical pattern which many students follow in writing themes. Some essays I've written or read begin with a very unified opening paragraph. The topic to be discussed is presented in one sentence (the topic sentence), and then logically developed bv supporting details in the paragraph. From then on, nothing is considered sacred. (Did I just CMnmit a 19a? Avoid trite expressions.) Readine such material takes a lot (not alot) of concentration and time.

Consequently (bad transition?), spelling poses a problem to many students when writing themes and also wanting to impress their teachers. For example, advantageous becomes advantagis, enthusiastically transforms into enthuseasticly, and unmistakable turns into immistakeabel. Small words are also confused by student. For instance, "Its time!" for "It's time!", confusing they're with their or there, and to for too or two. These errors only lead to 37i's on papers.

Two reasons for such mistakes may be laziness on the student's part and/or permissiveness on a former teacher's part. One instructor may have let a student pass his or her English class out of svmpathy or a desire not to have tiiat student again. Students may wait until the last minute to do a theme and then not proofread it. A dictionary may be at hand, but too much trouble is involved looking up a word. Whatever the reason might be. the fact still remains that manv students can't write very well.

So college, here we come. I hope space will be open for all us future leaders in Remedial English 101.

Campus Life Opens Doors to All; Additions Include "Super Sleeper Once again. Campus Life is providing a year of a wide range of activities for the interested high school student. What is Campus Life? According to area director Dave Veerman, it's an organization "centered around having a good time " He stressed that Campus Life is not a club, but open to anyone and dedicated to giving the student a chance to experience things as a teenager that he might otherwise miss out on.

Some of those "things" coming up this year include: A ski . trip to Colorado over spring vacation. The buses will take seven days in all to travel to Breckinridge, Copper Mountain, and Keystone. The approximate cost for five days of skiing, transportation, lift tickets, condominium accomodations and some meals will be $175. The group will depart March 28 and return April 3.

A work-a-thon, which is conducted every spring with the intent of being a service to the community and also raising money for Campus Life. The workers are pledged for the "number of hours they work; "work" is a free service to local churches, hospitals and homes. . After he has collected the money from his pledges, the worker can put half of his earnings toward the cost of another Campus Life activity, such as summer camp.

All of the money obtained from the work-a-thon first goes in to the club fund, where expenses

are drawn for scholarships, supplies and mailings.

The major summer activity, according to Veerman, is camp at Silver Birch Ranch in northern Wisconsin. The dates for this summer are Aug. 7-14 and Aug. 14-21; the total cost will be about $60. Activities will include horseback riding, water skiing, tubing and rafting down the Wolf River and entertainment. Commented Dave. "Probably the best thing about camp is that you get to know kids from other schools really well."

Another annual event is the "Graduation Sophistication."

Five days are set aside immediately after the graduation of high school seniors and during these days, the group has usually gone to a resort and taken part in seminars based on topics such as college, marriage and what to expect from life in general. This year, however, a new idea has been forming in the minds of Campus Life directors. The "Super Sleeper " (a bus converted to sleep 28) will travel down south to Florida, by way of the Ozark Mountains, A day will be spent at Disney World and another on the beach in Pensacola. and the bus will travel at night.

Campus Life is directly involved with the school in other ways besides planning activities and meetings for students. Musician Ed Kilbourne was here recently for Student Council, as was the Campus Life-oriented

musical group Under New Management. At the Brotherhood assembly last Wednesday, the speaker was Bob Wolgermuth. a staff meml)er for seven years.

The Campus Life activity which Maine South students are most familiar with is the bimonthly meeting. The meetings are held at someone's home and are based upon 30-40 minutes of crowdbreakers. singing and discussion on the topic of the evening. These discussions are on a serious level and usually deal with topics which apply to young people and the situations they encounter while growing up. Recent topics of discussion have included money and materialism, suicide and a session entitled "I am Somebody " A specialized branch of Campus Life is Youth Guidance, which is working in 14 local communities. Another area of Campus Life involves leadership meetings. These meetings are held on alternate weeks to the usual Campus Life ones. An additional aspect is added to these smaller, more serious groups — that of the basics of Christianity.

A final outlet of Campus Life is LUG, or Living Unit Group. LUG is another small group and consists of either all girls or all boys. These people meet for six weeks and engage in discussions on relationships between both each other and between other people.

An area Campus Life group shares one of many enjoyable experiences.

Abortion Remains a Major Issue;

by Kim Kumiega Abortion is a subject of uneasiness. Many people don't think about it; most people simply don't want to talk about it. But those who did respond replied with caution: Kathy Phillips '76: "In my opinion. I don't like the idea of taking away the life of a human being just because two people have been careless. On the other hand, I don't think it's fair for a raped girl to go through nine months of emotional and physical pain which has been forced upon her."

Kim Devaney '77: "Morally it is wrong: that baby has as much right to life as a living human being. But realistically, when the situation arises, abortion sometimes proves to be the best means to avoid unhappiness and unwantedness " .Adrian Sakowicz '76: "I feel that abortion is morally wrong and completely against the laws of the church. Taking the life of an unborn child cannot be justified just because of parental circumstances. " Lynn Heidkamp '79: "The decision of having an abortion is up to the parents. I think that if a baby is not going to have a happy life, why bring it into the world?

I do not think that abortion is something to be taken lightly. " Bob Schultze "77: "I believe that abortion should not be allowed except in life-death situations with the mother, or if the mother will be emotionally damaged as a result of going through with the pregnancy. I think in other situations, such as

the parent (mother or father) simply not wanting the child, the parent(s) is being and acting irresponsible. There is not room in this world for that type of irresponsibility."

Juli Hedrich '78; "I think abortion should not be used unless there is a good reason ... you shouldn't get pregnant if you don't want the baby."

Betsy Lee '78: "I don't think abortion should be used unless the mother's life is in danger, she is unmarried or unable to bring up the child."

Pat Nugent '77; "I think that abortion is wrong because it takes the life of a human being.

In my opinion, the fetus becomes human at the moment of conception. If people plan to have sex before marriage they should take precautionary measures. In the cases of raped girls, measures can be taken after the act to avoid conception."

Barb Kurowski '77: "It should be legal. If the girl is alone it should be up to her, and if they are married up to both people. A lot of women do abortions by themselves, and end up hurting themselves. If it were legal, it could become much safer."

Kevin Hoey '76: "I think if a woman is raped, abortion should be allowed. However, if she is responsible enough to conceive a child, she should go through with the responsibility. If she doesn't go through with it, it is absolutely wrong in my mind " Mr. Joel Morris, Social Science teacher; "It ought to be up to the individuaK s) involved."
