What Makes Man, Woman?

by Mary Jo Carlfeldt and Patty Hicks According to the Webster's College Dictionary, the definition of womanly is, •possessed of the qualities characteristic of women, such as gentleness, compassion, modesty. " The definition of manly, according to Webster's is, "having qualities becoming to a man, especially, brave, determined, noble."

Can't you just picture if There they are. Joe and Mary P e r f e c t , the picture of femininity and masculinity. She stares in amazement at his big bold muscles while he whispers sweet nothings in her ear. What does she do then? Why she blushes from her womanly modesty of course! Wait a minute.

There's one other Webster's definition which contradicts this entire perfect scene. This is. "the quality which distinguishes one person from another." It's called individuality. However, we wanted to see what Maine South students felt about Joe and Mary Perfect. A number of students were asked questions pertaining to the subject of femininity and masculinity.

Their responses were recorded: see if you agree with them.

The first controversial question posed was. "Is it proper for a boy to cry? " Our first response came from Steve Mikos "78. "I think it's healthv to cry. But, in

this society, guys aren't supposed to cry; they are supposed to control their emotions. It's O.K. for girls to cry though, for the right circumstances," Steve said.

Adding to that general feeling was Keven Fallon '77, He stated, "I don't think it's proper in public because people would just jump to conclusions. For that matter, girls shouldn't cry for just any reason either. I suppose it depends on the circumstances " The female sex was not left unopinionated. They were asked.

"Would you consider a boy unmasculine if you saw him cry?" The first girl to elaborate on the question was Sue Smaus "78. "No, it's their business why they're crying. You can't put a guy down because he is letting out his emotions or frustrations, " replied Sue. Sally Ashbrook '78. also responded to the same question.

She commented, "If a guy cried in front of me, I'd respect his sincerity. It would show me that he trusts me not to put him down for letting his feelings show. " A second question was given to a number of students. We asked "If the day comes when men and women have equal roles and responsibilities in society, should women be sent to war? " Sue Smaus gave her view. She said, "No. I don't think women are physically capable of killing.

Women are more emotional than

men.

An anonymous female source made an interesting point when she stated, "Girls today wouldn't be able to go to war because of the way they're brought up in society. Girls in the next generations might be able to. but they wouldn't, not enough people are willing to change."

A male view on the same topic was given by Karl N'unne '77.

"Yes. I thiiik girls should be expected to go to war. They're just as capable of participating in war as guys are " Sharon Lundberg '78. represented a different side when asked if she thought it was right for a housewife to work. Sharon commented. "I feel the woman's place is in the home. If a woman doesn't have a family, she can work. That's the way it's always been; that's the way it should slay."

Our final request of the students was to define masculinity and femininity.

Karl Nunne "77. and Marianne Mullins '78, pieced together this definition of a feminine woman: "A woman who is understanding and sympathetic, but strong enough to stand up for what she believes in."

Kevin Fallon gave his definition of a masculine man: "A man who knows the right thing to do at the right time, and who can leave his ego in the closet."

How To Get Nervous: V-Show Tryouts

by Sue Ann Savage The opportunity to see some unusual happenings arises this week during V-Show try-outs.

The drama wing is crowded with people anxiously pulling their hair, grinding their teeth, awaiting their doom: the try-out.

The act has been diligently practicing and the time has come for the victims to perform in front of the judges. This select panel is composed of hardened students and faculty. They will not crack a smile at the funniest

Gerald Ford imitation, nor will they utter a sound at the worst knock-knock joke. They will not be bribed or threatened. Trying out in front of them is equivalent to talking to a totem pole. But the judge's attitude can be understood, considering what they have been through.

Interspersed with the usual Maine South talent, are examples of some bizarre Maine South humor. The judges must passively sit through scores of singing prunes, human pigs and dancing paper clips. They must

Letter-to-Editor

Carnival Goals Explained Dear Editor.

This letter is intended to inform students or at least clarify certain matters which appeared in the September 24 Southwords concerning Homecoming. After last year's Homecoming activities, three out of the four sets of class sponsors became interested in an alternative to float building.

They stated that the beds to build floats on were getting too hard to obtain, that the building of floats was a waste of money, but most importantly, that not enough students were showing up to build the floats. The alternative which was arrived upon was a carnival. Given half a chance, the carnival will be an opportunity for even more people to get involved in Homecoming, not just in the planning and building

Students Evaluate Son City' byXinaProdyma One Thursday you're sitting in boring math class, listening to others gossiping. Suddenly, you hear two kids talking shout the great time they had last night.

Boy, I missed a wild party, you think. But then one mentions Son City.

Every Wednesday night. South Park Church holds Son City, a religious organization for teenagers. At Son City there are all different teams, named after colors. All teams compete with each other for points. The team with the most points at the end of the month wins a prize. Teams win points by competing in games, recruiting new members, memorizing Bible passages, etc.

What would be a typical night? .According to one Son City goer, you sit in special sections of the church with your team. Skits, Comedies, or songs are perform-ed. Then teams play all types of fun games. At the end of the night, the head supervisor reads

Bible passages and interprets them into modern day life.

Why do people go to Son City?

One girl goes because she feels that it's a place to let out all the tension that builds up at school.

She also believes in it religiously t)ecause it's something extra in life.

Dale Rempert attends it because, "There are lots of people to fellowship with there. It's an opportunity to meet friends and feel the Lord work in my life" Beth Rizzo thinks. "It's a good influence on my life. I feel welcome there."

Denise Doherty comments.

"It's a place to get away from the frustrations of school, and to meet people."

One girl thinks. "I go there to learn about things in the Bible that pertain to now."

But to some. Son City has a bad name. An anonymous states, "Son City is a hoax. Kids go there just to meet people of the opposite sex " If anyone wants to go, don't because everyone tries

to get you to come back."

Sue Black says, "I used to live next door to the church. They wanted to take over the block. If they have so much compassion for God. why don't they care about people on the block? " Another girl says, I went there, and everyone looked at me like I was a sinner they should talk. It's too phony " J.G. says, "It's too crowded now. It's like a popularity contest."

M.S. agrees. "It was a good idea in the first place, but now..."

The argument over Son City will never be settled. But let Jay Ladin advise you. "More people should come before they criticize."

Students Find Problems Involving the Cafeteria

by Halina Stachowiak Where does the largest gathering of students take place during the day? In the cafeteria, of course. Yet many, in fact most of the kids are dissatisfied with it. They find many faults and too few benefits.

Food is a popular topic of discussion. Comments ranged from "the food is okay" to "it stinks."

Jim Pranger '79, said that he avoids the food. I just don't trust it!" Jane Bogacz '78, remarked that she has never bought a lunch at school. But many students do buy lunch here, which goes to show that maybe it isn't bad. People should give it a try. Of course, it all depends on personal likes and dislikes.

Overcrowding seems to be another problem. Many students can never find an empty table by the time they arrive. Lisa Collin '78, suggests that "we should be able to eat outside when the weather is nice."

Not enough time for lunch also causes unhappiness. Students said that by the time they got through the lunch lines there was not much time left to eat. Perhaps if the lines were opened sooner, more kids would be able to manage.

Football Homecoming Battles Maine East

by Dan White The Hawk football team will battle cross-tow^n rival Maine East on October 16th (Homecoming) at 2 p.m. Coach Robert Schmidt commented. "It should be a very close game. Both our teams are 3-0 in conference play."

"Maine East has a solid offense with quarterback Brady and backs Donatucci and Brown." added coach Schmidt.

Last Saturday, the Hawks romped over Niles East 55-20.

The Hawks opened up the scoring on the first play after the

opening kick-off when Ken Mrowiec ran the ball in on a 75 yard run.

Mid-way through the first quarter. Ken Mrowiec scored again this time on a 34-yard carry. Tom McGlade made a fine down-field block on this play. Mrowiec then ran in to make a two point conversion.

The Hawks scored one more time in the first quarter on a 19 yard run by Tom McGlade. This T.D. was set up by an earlier Jim Schiesser interception. The Hawks led 20-0 at the end of the first quarter.

The Hawks scored two more times in the second quarter. The first touchdown came on a 13yard run by Jamie Perrin. The next South score came after Tom Garcea recovered a Niles East fumble at the Trojan's 29 yard line. Gus Paloian then ran the ball down to the 2, where, on the next plav. Ken Mrowiec charged in for his third T.D. The Hawks led 34-7 at half-time.

After Ken Mrowiec plunged in on a one yard touchdown run in the third quarter, the Hawks started another drive in the fourth quarter. This drive was

Soccer To Kick Demons

by Russ Skiba The Hawk soccer team will host Maine East this Fridav at 4:30 p.m. The Hawks will be "trying to continue their five game winning streak. " W e ' r e fairly evenly matched," commented Hawk's coach Jack Tilley. "This should be a hard played game since we are the only two undefeated teams in our division.

Wally Erickson added, "We'll wipe them off the field and Maine East will be no more" The Hawks beat Glenbrook South 4-1 last Tuesday to move their record to 5-4-2. Souths domination of the game started in the first quarter when Tom Gnaster dribbled passed three Glenbrook defenders and passed to Jeff Getz. Getz turned and shot a goal into the lower right corner. The Hawks led 1-0 at the end of the first quarter The next Hawk score came mid-way through the second quarter. Tom Gnaster stole a pass and sent a soft shot rolling into the goalie. However, Glenbrook's goalie bobbled the ball Jeff Getz alertly picked up the loose ball and scored his second goal of the game. The Hawks led 2-0 at half-time.

In the third quarter. Jeff Getz scored his third goal of the day off a Jim Krumwiede pass. Glenbrook South finally got on the board mid-way through the fourth quarter when Teclor scored on a shot that went just inside of the cross-bar The Hawks suffered a loss on this play when goalie Bob Berleth caught a spike on his leg. Maine South was forced to use Bryan Pelikan as goalie through the remainder of the ganae. Pelikan

played well considering he normally plays half-back John Hepburn scored the final Hawk goal off a Terry Keating throw-in in the fourth quarter to make the final Hawks 4 Titans 1.

After the game, Bryan Pelikan commented, "Jeff Getz played one heck of a game."

Jeff Getz added. "Our defense did an excellent job in keeping them from scoring " "We are gaining confidence as a team now, " said forward Dave Murray. "Our half-backs, Mark Zdeblick, Bryan Pelikan. Terry Keating and Tom Gnaster, are really holding the team together both offensively and defensely."

The Hawks have a lot of momentum going into the Maine East game. South's goalies, Frank O'Connor and Bob Berleth haven't allowed a goal in their last 13 quarters of play. The Hawk forwards have now scored 9 goals in their last 9 quarters of play and averaged 20 shots on goal in their last five games.

Last Saturdav, Maine South beat Niles East" 3-0. The Hawks jumped out to an early lead when Ken Dude took a corner kick and centered to Tom Gnaster.

Gnaster drilled a shot in for a 1-0 Hawk lead.

Minutes later, the Hawks scored again Mark Dzutynski brought the ball across midfield. Dzulynski passed to rightwinger John Hepburn who centered the ball to Jeff Getz. Getz faked a shot and then fed a nice pass to Jim Krumwiede who shot and scored.

Mid-way through the second quarter. Ken Dude scored the Hawk's final goal Mark Zdeblick moved down to the left side then crossed a pass to Nick
