By Marianne Schmidt This week the new library system went into use. The Book rietection System, which is manufactured bv the Three M Company, cost $18,000.

How does this sytem work".' .According to Mrs, Judy Lange. head librarian. • Kach book has a metallic strip. When a book is checked out properly, it is desensitized U it is not checked out properly, when it passes through the detection corridor an alarm will sound and the gate will close."

Ml books have been treated, and a teacher or supervisor will be stationed at each exit to make sure students go through.

It seems there was a real need for this sytem. Mrs. Lange said

The Illinois General .Assembly will be meeting for its first postelection session, and students will have an opportunity to attend committee meetings, meet their state senator and representatives, and discuss proposed legislation Mrs Barbara Heerman and Mrs. Milton Nelson of the Social Science Department will conduct the tour Further information on the tour will be available from government instructors in senior classes.

Pep Council are the girls who. after interviews evaluations, and screening, are chosen from the Pep Club Membership drives for Pep Club are held annually at book sales and for those who missed out then, a membership drive will be held during the week of Nov 15-19 Pep Council makes locker tags for all sports and also bakes goodies for the dedicated Maine South athletes involved in the major sports Sports calendars that add a decorative touch to homerooms and halls are also

part of Pep Council's work. The little football buttons seen around the school lately are sponsored by Pep Club and sold for fitly cents by everv Council members. Some of these pins are still available — ask any Council member.

Pep Club also sponsors a bus to every away football and basketball game; the cost is one dollar for non-Pep Club members, and seventy-five cents for members.

Tickets are available on the bus

books are taken. This deprives the students of the use of these materials. Some books will never be replaced. After 'Jaws' came out. all the shark books were stolen. Certain topics, such as horses, are popular. The horse books have to be kept in the cage or behind the reserve desk."

Mrs Lange made it very clear that the doors are locked for a good reason. "The doors are not locked to cause unnecessary grief to the students. We can only afford to have two exits to make the system work effectively."

Student cooperation is very important. .\s Mrs, Lange put it.

We need the cooperation of the students. We hope we get it. because it's for them. "

Army Prefers H.S. Graduates

As one c a r e e r choice considered by many young men and women who don't immediately plan to enter college, the modern, all-volunteer .Army has a strong appeal for students who want to leave school early — without a diploma. .According to local US, Army Recruiters, however, the .Army much prefers to enlist a highschool graduate over a school dropout Mr. Norbert Zavadin.

Army Recruiter at 800 Lee St..

Des Plaines. declared that years of experience enlisting both the graduate and the dropout has shown .Army officials that satisfaction for the enlistee and the .Army is much likelier for the young man or woman who has completed high school and received a diploma.

"Very often, we know that young people who want to leave school early and join the Army are trying to solve a temporary problem — with a teacher, or their family, or disappointing grades, or what they think is a money problem. " Mrs. Zavadin observed. Whatever it is. its almost always a mistake to sacrifice your learning years for that kind of solution," "Certainly, there are a lot of soldiers who have done well

without graduating before their enlistment. But in almost every case, their progress only began after thev received their GED DIPLOM.A WITH THE Army's help."

The best source for advice, according to Mr, Zavadin, would

For, this is the time when the student might, if he is lucky, be recognized and get a chance to shake the hand of his candidate.

Whether they do this by their own choice or their history teacher's, campaigning can prove to bo an educational and rewarding experience.

Often, students decide to campaign as an alternative to the rigors of writing a term paper.

But. campaigning is not as easy as it may seem. These people are faced with the dangers of distributing pamphlets in unfamiliar neighborhoods. Through rain and sleet and snow, they must promote their candiate.

But will the system prove effective? Mrs. Lange seemed optimistic. " It has proved effective at every school it has been used at. It is at least 80 per cent effective. The system will pay for itself within ttiree years, through retaining books that would have otherwise been lost" Mrs. Lange commented. "This was the only way.

Smokers Interfere with Privacy for All

By Mary Jo Carfeldt By now most of the girls at Maine South have probably heard of, or seen a new addition to the washrooms in the locker room. The surprise is a little window in the washroom door to try to prevent smoking in there.

According to Miss Kathryn Pierce. Girls P.E. Department chairman. •Since the girls have been chased out to the washrooms in the hall, they are now coming to the girls washrooms in the locker room to smoke."

People Always Prejudge

By Noreen Keane Are you the type of person that prejudges another person without knowing all the facts?

Do you judge others on the basis of what they look like or what they're wearing? Were you ever influenced in your judgment of someone by another's opinion?

One of the worst forms of prejudice and perhaps the most common is stereotyping. And do you know what — everyone does it.

People are stereotyped into different "classes" here at South. Boys are usually classified into 3 main types. The first type is the all American athlete.

This ranges from football players anywhere to golfers.

These people are jocks! The second type is in the middle.

They are not athletes, but simply nice guys that are usually, but not always, involved in clubs.

The third type we usually refer to as the 'fag." We all know what this term literally means, but we don't use the word to its fullest extent. Usually "fag" means we don't like the person for one reason or another, or the boy really gets on your nerves. It can also mean the guy thinks he's really macho" and acts like it.

Girls can also be put into 3

tvpes. The first tvpe is the classic " R a h - R a h . " This includes cheerleaders and Hawkettes. This also can include girls who are in different clubs, being cheerleaders" of that particular sport. The second type of girl is just average. Gets involved and all-in-all has a good personality. The third type of girl is one who is snobbish. She looks down upon you either for the way you look or the way you dress. This type is the most obvious.

Please don't get me wrong.

I'm in no way condemning any of these people. The groups I choose were simply the most obvious. The list could go on and on. These were just picked at random. It's your own decision as to how you would classify people. I'm solely concerned with people as they are— at face value.

It's important to know people for what they are. There are going to be people you can't stand and people you are going to like. It's important to take the time to make a fair decision.

Don't be influenced by what other people say because many times they are wrong, and you just missed an opportunity to meet a would-be friend!

It seems the girls are becoming more and more talented at avoiding faculty."

"We do onot in any way want to make it difficult for those girls who use the facilities properly." said Miss Pierce. .Mso Miss Pierce said that when the custodian-carpenter has time little windows will be put in all of the washroom doors in the locker room. .As for the girls who find it embarrassing for fear someone is peeping' through the window. I was informed that it is possible to put up a book or throw something over the window to insure one's privacy. .Also. if anyone has a better idea the P.E. Department is open for suggestions.

A few female students were asked their reaction to this new addition.

Said Julie Ikler "78. I was not offended when I saw the window.

In fact. I thought it was a pretty good idea because I got tired of having to wait in line while someone finished there cigarette."

Arlene Mullally "77. said 'Why not just give us a smoking lounge and save a lot of aggravation? " One anonymous person said she felt it violated her right as a non-smoker.

Cheryl Packer "77. said. "If theyre going to cut holes in the door they might as well close down the Johns because no one will go in them anyway.

Donna Spoonholtz '79. said.

Whoever thought of putting holes in the doors has holes in their head " And as one anonymous person said. I'd rather squat in the woods than go for an audience."

Editorial

Teachers Do "More" Now

by Julie Keller There have been many changes at Maine South in the past few years. You probably remember the saying. "You've come a long way, baby. But have we. the students, really come a long way and have these changes been for the better'' As I think back to the good old days of grammar school and junior high. I remember times when I didn't have to wait for the lady at the front of the room to write a pass which gave me access to the washroom for five minutes. Also, there weren't men sitting at intervals in the halls, waiting to seize those unfortunate students without passes. .And when I finally arrived at the washroom. I wasn't hawk-eyed by a washroom supervisor.

The subject of hall passes brings to mind an incident I encountered my freshman year.

The lunch bell had just rung and I entered the cafeteria, discovering that my lunch was still in my locker. (This wasn't too bright, but ... then I was only a freshman, i I turned around and was walking to my locker when someone asked the familiar question. "Where is your hall pass''"

Upon explaining my predicament, he pulled a walkie-talkie out of his pocket and zeroed in on some lady in the D e a n s office, who was told there was a girl coming down to get a pass. With mv pass in hand. I arrived at my locker and grabbed my lunch. I quickly made my way through halls, only to find that by the time I reached the cafeteria, the bell rang and my lunch period had ended. .Now isn't this going a little too far?

I also remember when checking out books from the library was a simple process of signing your name on a little orange card If youve been in the library lately < that is. if you are privileged enough to own a librarycard i. youve probably noticed that this is a really nice place to be — once vou get past the entrance arms, ropes, etc.

Changes that call for stricter discipline at Maine South will probably continue I realize that many of these changes have been for the better in helping us to get the best education possible. However. I can't help remembering the times when the t e a c h e r s only role was teaching.

Inherit Neglect To Vote

By Patty Hicks .Along with bicentennialism. political grins and promises, we have been bombarded with advertisements to vote for the '76 presidential election Most of us Maine South students must remain on the sidelines of the elections and watch.

However, some students are lucky enough to play the game of pick your candidate. The government has flattered them by entering an amendment to the Constitution which states that 18 year olds are capable and responsible enough to vote. But are they'.'

In the 1972 presidential elections. 48 per cent of the abled voters aged 18 to 20 voted; 51 per cent did not vote. That election had better voting reponses from voters aged 65 and over than from those voters aged 18 to 20.

Does this mean that this country's future businessmen, laborers and family-makers could care less about how the government influences their lives'* Or are they simply loo young to know any better'' True, our generation has been exposed to a filthy era in politics.

We've grown up with assassinations, civil rights riots, the Vietnamese War and Watergate

The way it adds up there are two possible actions to take.

The first possibility for those mature voters is to sit on their brains election day. and after the election, complain about the new president and how he is screwing up our cixintry The second possibility is to use their brains and legs and walk down to the enough to vote.

Whatever they do. hope that they won't embarrass the rest of us future voters by proving teenagers too young to vote. Remember that our generation will soon be responsible for our government.

Remember, The Tricks

Remember all the good times that we had on Halloween when we were younger"' It was always a race to collect the candy.

One of the most popular houses to trick-or-treat to. was where the people gave out money. The same crowd of kids could keep going back for more again and again However, the costumes had to be altered slightly each time. For example, the bum would trade masks with the princess while the witch wore the superman cape. Weren't we Dear Editor. all clever in our earlier years?

"If it is a private party, it is up to the parents of the person having the party to make the rules. " Mr. Hopkis said that while it is the repsonsibility of the school to deal with such problems, the real burden lies within the home.

All fine money is given to the senior class for dances or any other activities sponsored by the senior class. A student, parent, teacher or anyone can look at the file on parking tickets if they believe the records aren't right.

Have you ever walked through the parking lots after school and almost gotten run over? The school is looking for a new policeman who will be able to watch the parking lots during the busiest times. But for now. you will just have to be on the defensive as you are walking through the parking lots.

living depends on freedom."

Eileen Towne '77, comments, "I care, because I want a president who will protect our country so there'll be no war.

Jimmy Carter is all smiles."

Margie Styczen '77, states, "Every citizen of the U.S. should exercise his right to vote. It's very important."

But an anonymous student doesn't care because "I'm not voting." Out of all the students surveyed, more than half didn't care.

What do students think of the candidates? Shawn Drummond '78. says. "Carter doesn't make himself clear enough. Ford is the lesser of two evils. " Margie Styczen answered, "Carter is suave, a good orator, and very personable. Ford's lost his pizzazz."

Chris Durack '77, replied, "Ford has more experience being president and in the House of Representatives. Carter was just a governor and he didn't even do anything."

Jimmy Carter recently made a statement in Playboy magazine stating that he lusts women in his mind. What are the reactions to that?

Margie Styczen replied, "Playboy can take a statement and twist it around. Normal men have desires and emotions."

Jeff Gunsteens said, "I like the pictures! Jimmy's a sinner, and sinner's shouldn't be in the White House " Chris Durack said, "It has nothing to do with the elections."

President Ford stated that Russia doesn't have control over European countries. What do they think? Margie Styczen believes that, "The president should be aware of European situations. He should be careful of what he says.""

But Chris Durack replied.

"Ford was under pressure; he was trying to stick up for democracy. " The poll has forecasted Gerald Ford to win, by a landslide. Will Ford win the elections? On November 2, well find out.

As far as tomorrows game goes." Schmidt said. Our guys will be up for this game " Last Friday night the Hawks traveled to Glenbrook North and were defeated 20-14. The scoring opened when Dave Ryan sprinted for a 4-yard touchdown run. giving the Hawks a 7-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.

In the second half, the homecoming crowd of Glenbrook North had something to cheer about. The Spartans scored and then tied the game Maine South came back and took the lead when Paul Preston caught an U-yard touchdown pass from Gus Paloian Late in the third quarter, the Spartans tied the game again on a 23-yard runbv Bob Saracen.

With only 18 seconds left in the and will be battling for first game. Glenbrook Norths place these next two weeks.
