Choking Victim Saved Dave Krueger '78, helped to save a choking Maine South student in the cafeteria on Thursday, April 28. Dave was sitting at lunch when he heard Mr. Jerald Kantrovich, English teacher, calling to see if anyone knew what to do for a choking victim. "I looked around and no one was doing anything," Dave said. Dave told the student to lean over and relax. He then gave the Heimlich hug, which he learned in Health class and also in a

Scuba Diving class given at the YMCA. Soon the student was able to talk a little and was then taken outside by a nurse. Dr. Watson presented Dave with a letter of commendation for this act. "I asked him who he had voted for in the Student Council election before helping him," Dave added jokingly.

Musicians Plan Spring Festival The Annual Spring Music Festival will be held on Friday, May 13 at 8 p.m. in the Auditorium.

The guitar group will feature singing and playing familiar folk and popular songs. The bands will be under the direction of Mr. Gordon McLean, choral direction will be by Mr. Irwin Bell and the orchestras will be directed by Mr. Angelo Rico.

S.C. President States Ideas for Next Year By Tammy Barry Peter Omarzu has now assumed the office of Student Council president. The newly-elected officer started his presidential duties last Tuesday, May 3. Pete's ideas for next year include improving the girls' P.E. sign-ups. Peter comments, "As stated in my campaign speeches, I will strive to change this most unjust system. While the final decisions have not been made yet, it will probably be a system that gives the senior girls first choice. This would make the system the same which the Ixjys use now. If any student wishes to comment on this idea, please feel free to contact me." Peter also has plans to improve communication between students and Student Council. He says, "Student apathy with regard to Student Council's effectiveness has greatly increased in the past few years. The atttudes taken by some members of Student Council is pathetic. Many members do not offer much help. Some are detrimental to the causes Student Council must support." "Student Cluncil will no longer be the social organization it has been in the past. The constitution has provided for a student government. In order to receive the necessary student support. Student Council must be a governmental organization." Along with this, Student Council publicity will improve. 'The Public Relation Committee, which has previously served Stu-

dent Council by making the Busy Signal, will now serve Student Council by maintaining constant communication with the student body. Complex leaders will give reports at least every two weeks or will face impeachment from Student Council." And again on the more popular issues such as smoking lounge and open campus, Peter says, "Within the next week, the district administration will he receiving proposals for an outdoor smoking lounge and open campus. Those are some of Peter Omarzu's ideas for next year.

Locker Thefts Prompt Ruling Thefts in both gym locker rooms and hall lockers have caused many problems for the students and the administration at Maine South. Lately many students have been found carrying little metal rods, which they use to snap lockers open. For this reason, students are not allowed to transport these rods with the justification that they are weapons, and carrying them is against school policy. Metal rods may be carried around school only if they are accompanied by a note from a teacher stating that these rods are needed for a class.
