by Jim Kaeding Fourteen South students left Mar. 27 for a trip to Europe during spring break, spending eight days in London and Paris. The American Leadership Study Groups, which provides educational trips to people throughout the country, sponsored the trip. The cost is $1100 to each student, not including lunches, gifts or other purchases. Mr. Vincent Pinelli, teacher-chaperone for the trip, commented, "This trip is educational as well as fun. We have been doing these kinds of trips for the past three years and it's worth the cost." After flying from Chicago to London, the students spent three days there visiting the British capital: Westminster Abbey and the House of Parliament. Other sights included, the Tower of London, the British museum and Windsor Castle. After arriving in Paris, the students spent the rest of the time seeing Notre Dame, Napoleon's Arc de Triomphe, the Louve museum and Gothic churches. They returned Sat., April 4.
New rules for Hawkettes
by Cathy Stavrakas Drill Team State Competition '81 resulted in new rules for the May '82 competition. Hawkettes were entered in three categories of the competition. They received two "superior trophies" for scoring 90% of the possible 100 points. The third category, kickline, was disqualified because one judge was a graduate of a competing high school. Palatine High School. A committee consisting of five people decided to leave the results as they stood at the end of the competition. New rules were made to compensate for this year's competition. 1) All announcements must be limited by number of words and must not include past
awards. 2) All state judges must have had three or more years of comparable experience. 3) The category evaluations should include three rating levels: superior, excellent and good. Trophies should be awarded for superior and ribbons for excellent and good. 4) Since the "rating" method of judging is very different from the "placing" method, the category judges should be required to keep their scores within a three point margin of each other. The superior, excellent, and good awards will be presented for four minute shows, and eight minute shows will be ranked 1,2,3,4. Hawkettes have won twelve 1st place awards and two superior awards within two years.
student Council needs your support "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." Recently, the election of Student Council Officers for next year was completed. To the winners, congratulations; to the losers, condolences. However, in the wake of counting ballots, an alarming fact was discovered: in spite of the efforts of Student Council and the candidates themselves, only 403 of the 2,693 students at Maine South voted. Less than 15% of the students deemed voting to be worth their time. Voter apathy has struck Maine South with vehemence. Many people complain that Council is ineffective and unproductive; usually it is those f)eople who do not care enough to vote who gripe the loudest. Student Council has many accomplishments and the students of Maine South should lake the time to be interested in Council and to vote. In this year alone, Council has achieved
many goals. Activities such as V-show and the Homecoming Carnival and Parade were sponsored, as always, by Student Council. Thanks to Council's efforts, outdoor lounge was reopened this year. Fund raising for a new activity sign was initiated successfully by Student Council. Throughout the year. Council has sponsored movies, a student bulletin board, a blood drive, and has provided people to act as guides during college night and similar school events. This year's student directory, Busy Signal, was purchased by more people than ever before. These projects reflect Student Council's ability to produce positive results and to serve the students of Maine South. Unfortunately, such success may not ontinue if student apathy and lack of support prevails. Some people attempt to rationalize not voting by claiming that they do not know the candidates. Being acquainted with a can-
didate is unimportant. During each campaign, numerous assemblies, posters, announcements and a special edition of Southwords provide ample opportunity to learn about the candidates' icleas and qualifications. Candidates should be judged on their merits for office, not by the familiarity of their name. Another justification for not voting is claiming not to care about Council, yet criticizing it for "not doing anything." Not only are such people selfishly hurting Council and the school by not voting, they are being hypocritical and ignorant of Student Council's actions. No such excuses can be accepted for not voting. On March 24, two thousand potential voters walked by the polling booths by the cafeteria. If a productive Student Council is to continue, voting for its officers and representatives is of vital importance. When the next election takes place, vote—and take the time to understand the issues of the election. Consider the election seriously. Vote for the candidate who seems to have the ability to be the most competent in office, not the one who is simply the most wellduct of Student Council election. known. Student Council is designed to .serve The only major changes are ballot place- the students and help solve some of their proment, recently done by lot; rules pertaining to blems at school, but Council cannot fulfill its out of school campaigning; and enforcement function if the students do not give their supprocedures.

dating. But that's what makes everyone different. It might seem pretty superficial to put so much emphasis on looks, but first impressions do count. There have been many "love-atfirst-sight" relationships that have stemmed completely from that first glimpse that left you in a state of shock-stuttering, with your knees knocking, and your eyes bulging out of their sockets. The qualities we look for in people differ from one person to the next. Barb Joyce, '82, stated, "Manners are always impressive, and he should be outgoing, not afraid to talk to you." Bill Fick, '81, commented, "She has nice eyes and a romantic personality." Mary Brent,'82, remarked, " I ' m most attracted to a guy when he Hashes a gorgeous smile that tells me he's got a friendly personality. Of course it helps if he's a good smoocher!" Mike Hainey, '82, told Southwords that "the first thing 1 notice is the eyes and smile. A good sense of humor is important because that's how you break the ice with her." Mee Kim, '82, stated, "1 like the type who are open, not afraid to tell what's on their mind, and he should be a good dancer." Tom Daley, '82, offered, "Cute eyes, nice teeth, good sense of humor, polite and intelligent." Many of the students preferred to remain anonymous. "Broad shoulders and curly black hair and puppy dog eyes, like Rocky," one sophomore replied.
Sluggers set for a great season by Mike Sir The Maine South Varsity Baseball Team for the 1980-81 season opened the year with an 8-1 victory over Lake Park, and will play host to the Warriors of Maine West in a twin bill, starting at 11:00 a.m. Also starting a doubleheader at 11:00 will be the sophomores who tied Lake Park at three apiece. In the season opener, the Hawks combined the pitching of Scott Madsen and Terry Stassen to hold the visitors to one unearned run. Madsen pitched the first four innings, striking out four and walking none. Stassen came in for the last two innings to preserve the win, picking up three strike outs and walking one. Stassen credits the good performance of
the Hawk pitchers to senior catcher Jeff Bergman. The Hawk offense of eight runs on nine hits was led by Vince Aganad, who hit safely twice. On the sophomore side of the diamond, the Hawks had a 3-3 tie after six innings of play. Tom Fiddler opened up for the Hawks on the mound, pitching four no-hit innings and yielding one unearned run. Right fielder Mark Krueger helped Fiddler's no-hitter by making a diving shoestring catch in the third. Brian Murphy stepped to the mound for the Hawks and pitched well, but gave up two runs. The Hawks offense was led by Paul Minasian, Tony Szapielate, and Don McCormick, each collecting two hits.
Rich Gentile led the Hawk pitching in the Frosh A 12-4 victory, and the Frosh B win 11-9 over Lake Park.

Hawks race to outdoor track by BUI Savage The Maine South's boy's track team will face both Prospect and Rolling Meadows on April 21, in their second outdoor meet of the season. All outdoor meets are away because District 207 does not have an all-weather outdoor track. The Hawks closed their indoor season with a record of 4-4. In the Maine East Invitational, the Hawks placed fifth. Steve Gemmel ran an outstanding 10:21 two-mile race. The two-mile and 880 relay teams were disqualified, and the Hawks had to settle for fourth place in the Maine South Invitational. Against Maine West and Notre Dame, senior Carl Sitterly ran a 2:08 half-mile. Mike Vukovich established a new sophomore high jump record with a leap of 6'04". Another outstanding performance was freshmen Larry Magler's victory in the varsity half-mile against Notre Dame. As the state finals near, head coach Mahon hopes to have strong two-mile and quartermile relay teams. He also has high hopes for the field events. Sprinter John Loda gave a final remark, "We definitely have some rough competition, but we are looking forward to a good outdoor season." by Leo Smith The girl's track team is off and running to
Gymnasts keep rolling by Karen Dannenhauer Friday, April 3, the Maine South Boys' Varsity Gymnastics team was defeated by Glenbrook North by a score of 110 to 89. This was one of the closer meets, but Glenbrook North still managed to pull out a win. Franz Wieshuber, "Although we have many talented freshmen competing on the varsity level, we don't expect to win the meet. The freshmen just don't have enough experience yet. They're improving with each meet, however." Wieshuber spoke of several outstanding freshmen including Scot Martin, varsity, and Mark Koziol of the freshman team. "But the lineup is constantly being switched so that we can find the right combination," he added.
