AFSers leave Action Ridge to go abroad

by Anita Klaner Through AFS (American Field Service), eight South students were able to spend their summers abroad. Four of them will be featured in this issue.

Dave Ansani lived in Brazil in a city called Niterai of 750,000 across the bay from Rio de Janeiro. His family consisted of a brother, age 15, a sister, age 13, and parents.

Dave went to school for three days a week.

Instead of the students changing classes, the teachers did. Both the teachers and the students were allowed to smoke in class.

The people were very friendly. About them, Dave said, "I liked the people the best." The people there like Americans, and his family was very Americanized, he said.

Chris Serio went to Sri Lanka, an island off the southern coast of India in the Indian Ocean.

Sri Lanka is one of the 17 poorist countries

in the world. Many people their live in huts.

Chris' family consisted of a sister, age 20, her mother, who spoke no English, and her father, an invalid. Her sister was not allowed to date, and marriages are pre-arranged there.

The women wore saris and the men wore sarongs. During her stay, Chris worked in a clothe dye factory (batik).

A caste system exists in Sri Lanka, and poverty is everywhere, she said.

She commented, "I learned a great deal while visiting Sri Lanka."

Chris Kulusic went to Melbourn, Australia.

One of the largest cities in Australia, its population is almost two million people. He stayed in a nearby suburb called Blackburn.

While in Australia, Chris attended technical school. Some of the students were older, returning to school after years of work. The government gave these people $200 a year in aid to return to school.

Chris said, "I had a good time and learned to deal with people."

Jeff Wood went to Acarigua, Venzuela. He lived in a small town with a poor family.

While he was there, he attended many cock fights and taras bullfights. Taras bullfights consist of five toreadores and a bull in the pen.

The men try to pull the bull down by his tail and ride him.

What Jeff liked the most were the people.

"They were so nice, warm and open," he said.

Jeff also went on a four day trip to Columbia with his brother and father. They traveled there to buy clothes because the items are duty (tax) free. On the way back home, they picked up a hitch hiker, who was a rancher, that Jeff later went with on a cattle round-up.

Jeff gave this advice. "I think everyone should try for AFS. It's a great experience.

Class Struggles

Reassignment too nice a punishment __ Mark Filip ^ Well, I know that a good "majority" of .people thought 1 was too negative last week.

'Ciosh, I'm really sorry. That is why in this article I wrote about something we could all enjoy reading-reassignment.

The first place to start in our school is with the subject of Reassignment. Let's face it, re assignment is just too pleasant. The little urchins in Reassignment are treated as if they have rights or something.

Let's look now at the excessive luxuries in the reo. system: two hall passes a day to the washroom, a half period joy-ride to lunch and a quiet, posh desk complete with books to dream away the day with!

First of all. eliminate the washroom vacations. (Hardened roughnecks deserve to squirm.) I've never seen anyone with bladder trouble cause any problems.

Second, there is no need to feed these blemishes on society's face. Anyway, when 1 get in trouble, my mommy sends me to bed without any supper- toots sweet!

Finally, why are the "people" in reassignI ment allowed to sit all day long and rot in their own wretchedness? Maybe they could make license plates or break big rocks; that sure would solve a few attitude problems.

It's about time that we students wake up and

tell the administration how we feel. Our elders have been tar too kind in the question oi reassignment and we must stand up and be counted. This remnant of the Communist liberals that once ran this country must go, and go now!

Counselor

I think it is about time that this school realized that the decade of the seventies, with all its liberal leniency and promiscuousness, is over.

This nation is making a return to the right, and with this return it is finally abolishing all the lily-livered, cowardly policies of past years.

effectiveness

by Felecia Koiowsky Students at Maine South disagree on whether or not counselors are effective.

Here is what a few students said when asked their opinion of their counselor.

Kathy Humm, '84, "I find my counselor very helpful and efficient. He encouraged me to take advanced courses and I am glad that I took his advice."

Lauri Kenyeri, '83, "It's intimidating to talk to my counselor because he will not listen to audents until they bring in a note from their parents."

Chris Blight, '83, "My counselor is never in his office. He doesn't get involved enough with the students. I feel that he's too impersonal."

Julie Hoh, '84, "I think the counselors should get to know what's going on in the school better. It's very frustrating to have to ask other students about certain policies."

Many students who had different counselors last year do not know their new counselors, and several who do know them, like them less than their previous one.

However, students do not realize all of the responsibilities that counselors have. They are in charge of the students' course selections, operation of guidance information and counseling the students' personal problems.

examined

In addition, counselors assist students with career choices and further schooling. This includes recommendations to employers and colleges.

Mr. Ken Reese, the career counselor, is the main contact with business industry and college representatives. He keeps the other counselors up to date with college admissions and career directions.

There are also many time consuming parts of the job such as initiating schedule changes and their involvement with special education.

Additional responsibilities are study-hall discipline and because of declining enrollment, there are more students per counselor.

Being a counselor has its drawbacks. Mr. James Bonney, student personnel director, said that "students expect counselors to do things which they cannot do because they must comply with the rules. Furthermore, it is very discouraging to see students resist all efforts for help when they do not succeed on improving their attitude toward school.

"We follow up on the students' activities when they get out of school, college, work and where they are living are a few examples. It is rewarding to see how some students start out poorly, and when they get out of school, their improvement is evident."

Point/Counterpoint

Inico:

It® l\m Um4 ©imdl iUyilhi©, ©if mhm Kim Wochinski

Point- The football game and carnival have the highest student attendance during homecoming weekend.

Counterpoint- Many students haven't seen a Maine South game in all their high school years and think you must be craiy to sit outside in sub-zero temperatures just to sec our team play.

The majority of students at Maine South go to the homecoming game and carnival, about 76 percent of the people interviewed. If you've ever been to the homecoming game you would have to admit there is an overabundance of school spirit and rowdiness. The band, Hawkettes and cheerleaders help to spread this exciting spirit.

Still, the average attendance at the regular games is very low, the majority of the crowd being parents, friends of the players or band groupies.

If you ask the average Maine South student how many football games they've seen, the answer is maybe one or two, most likely zero.

All you have to do is look at the stands during a football game to see what I mean.

Another question to ask yourself: Do I know the words to our pep song? Yes, Maine South has its very own pep song, and if you look on page 16 in your friendly Maine South Handbook you can find the words.

Homecoming weekend has so much to offer for everyone— a carnival, pep rally, parade, football game, and a dance. The homecoming dance has the least attendance compared to the other dances, most of the time due to guys who are extremely shy.

This year, though, more girls are taking the aggressor role and actually asking guys to the dance. Now you don't have to wait until March anymore, girls.

Some people just can't figure out why someone would go to a game just to lose his voice from screaming and catch a cold from the freezing weather. There is only one word to describe it, and that's because it is plain fun.

I expect to see a record crowd at the game Saturday for homecoming. Please don't leave after halftime just because the band leaves.

Stay and have a good time by showing your school spirit. (I'll be there to make sure everyone knows the words to our pep song.)

Courses dropped, lack off interest This year several classes have been dropped due to lack of enrollment in them.

In the Business Education department.

Clerical Bookkeeping was dropped.

Mythology and Science Fiction were dropped from the English department. Guitar II, Electronic Music and Concert Choir B were all dropped from the Music department curriculum.

In the Social Science department. History of the Non-Western World, History of the NonWestern World Ace, and Social Science I L have been reorganized to form the classes World Cultures, World Cultures Ace, and World Geography, respectively.

The Speech/Drama Survey class, after a trial first year, has gone back to the original introductory classes in their respective areas.

Mr. Robert Simonsen, vice principal, believes that few students have been effected by these changes. He explained that there are different classes that can be taken and that the administration tried not to leave a void in a particular subject.

There is no telling what further classes will be dropped next year until the students sign up for next year's classes in the spring. .

However, three new classes have been add J ed: Design Materials II, Independent Photo Study and Home Mechanics.

PQC man moy bo hozordou/ (o your hooUh

by Elizabeth Cicinelli The U.S. is undergoing an invasion of Space Invaders, Pac-Man and Tempests that no reallife army commander can outmaneuver. This attack is just one step short of overtaking the new generation; and its effects are widely controversial.

Millions of dollars are being voluntarily seized from the pockets of teenagers, who spend their free time loitering at the local arcade. Only a small number of people, though, are collecting the profits of the hottest industry around.

Now it appears that the Fac-man pro can be mentally addicted and not able to stop until his money is gone.

On the other hand, everyone has the right to make his own choice of how he spends his free time and money. He also has the free will to try to overcome the addiction.

Video games are often frowned upon because of some possible "ill" health effects.

Those computers with push-button devices can strain the finger muscles resuhing in a symptom similar to "typist's finger."

Ophthamologists also have discovered that the luminous flashes of sky rockets across the screen in a darkened room can harm the eyes if continually viewed. page 4

There is also the obvious fact that playing video games are a major cause of lack of exercise.

Video games' benefits are also under study, and there may be optimistic effects as well.

Anxiety and stress can be eased because the player projects any anger or frustration onto a

video enemy rather than people.

It seems evident then that video games both help and hinder. As with many inventions, the effects are diverse. Most important, the individual has the right to weigh the options and decide if Videomania is his "beep" or not, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer.

Acne, misconceived notions fool teens

by Maria

Caporale

It's Saturday night and you look great! One last look in the mirror before the fun begins.

Oh no! Right in the middle of your chin, your enemy hes; a big, noticeable pimple. What will your date think? You wonder how it got there.

Maybe it was the chocolate bar you ate or those french fries with chicken you had. What could cause that pimple?

Many teens suffer from acne but are uninformed about its various causes.

Acne is a devastating disease of teenagers and young adults. Some people may not be troubled at all until their mid-twenties. An estimate 80 per cent of them develop permanent scars.

At puberty, an increase in circulating male hormones is taken up in the oil glands of the face. The severity of acne is not directly related to the numbers of bacteria present in the skin.

It is the pores of each person which react differently to irritating fatty acids. If both of your parents had acne, it is most likely you will have the same.

As you know, there are many misconceptions about what causes acne. Here are some of them along with their truthful counterparts.

MYTH Eating chocolate, greasy foods, soda pop, dairy products, nuts, etc. will cause acne.

FACT The ingestion of certain foods has very little to do with acne. The exception is iodine or kelp which may be found in certain potent formulations of vitamin supplements.

These should be avoided as the iodine is excreted form these skin pores and can aggravate acne. Also three meals a day consisting of a well-balanced diet is the best for good health.

MYTH Blackheads are caused by din.

FACT Acne has absolutely no relationship to dirt and, in fact, acne can be aggravated by too much washing. The black in blackheads is melanin, or pigment, that has come to the top of clogged pores.

MYTHAcne is found only in teenagers.

FACTAn estimated 80 percent of all teenagers suffer from acne. It also affects a great many adults in their late 20's and early 30's. Cosmetics, birth controll pills and stress can precipitate acne at any age.

MYTH Nothing can be done about severe scarring.

FACT Dermabrasion, chemical peeling and cosmetic surgery are all corrective measures for severe acne scarring.

MYTH Acne is caused by bacteria.

FACT The same bacteria isolated in acne can be found on the face of someone without acne. Acne is a genetic disease, not a bacterial infection.

MYTH Stress and lack of sleep do not matter as far as acne is concerned.

FACT Stress aggravates acne and can cause flare-ups of dormant acne. Also, any interruption of normal sleep rhythm, 11 p.m. to 7

a.m., can have an adverse affect on the skin.

MYTH Acne can be hidden with lots of makeup.

FACT Many of today's cosmetics, especially those containing lanolins, analogs'of isopropyl myristate, sodium lauryl sulfate, polyethylene glycol, can cause acne or aggravate existing lesions.

Teenagers and adults suffering from acne can receive free evaluations of their acne problem and tips on how to control it quickly and effectively by stopping in at Acne Health Care Centers in the Chicago area.

Will this be your lucky year?

by Jean Harighausen

In case you haven't noticed, one of the main topics of conversation around South this time of year is Homecoming. Wondering who will be queen, planning carnival booths and hooping the football team will win the game for a change are all part of Homecoming. However, the biggest issue is getting a date for the dance.

This issue, although vbery exciting for those who are asked, can be very traumatic for those who aren't.

One junior gilrs explained, "If all your friends are going, and you're not, then you feel bad."

Another senior girl codmments that she put up a front by telling everyone she doesn't care if she isn't asked to the dance, but those who really knew her knew she ws upset.

Another aspect of the traumatric homecoming experience is the trouble guys have asking girls. While some find asking one girl difficult, "you just don't know how hard it is to ask a girl to a dance." Others have enough guts to ask even four girls.

Ahhough a lot of people don't go to the dance, they do go to the carnival and football game. When asked if seeing couples at these rwo events bothered her, one girl explained, "I don't notice the couples that much. I go to those events more to see old people."

Many of the people interviewed felt that the actual dance is boring. For girls, finding a dress and planning the evening are more fun than the actual dance. Boath guys and girls agree that "after-dance" activities (going out to dinner, going to a party, etc.) are more fun than the dance.

Ideas to improve the dance were to have a dance contest and to get better bands. One girl felt that a problem with the dance was the attitude of the people. More "mixed dancing" (dancing with someone other than your date) was one of her suggestions. Another idea was to make the dance "stag." This would eliminate some of the feelings of rejection people get this time of year.

Even though Homecoming can be a depressing time of year for some people, it is still a lot of fun (even if you don't get to the dance.)

The employer gains a person who can be trained to his way of doing things. The community benefits by having young skilled workers available."

Looking into college questions hand, larger colleges providce a wider choice of facilities, activities and people.

Many students are concerned about t h e ^ ^ academic levels of colleges. Students often^P^ think that if a college has a popular name, that college is the best. The student must evaluate the college to be sure it meets his needs.

College selectivity will range from admitting only the students who are academically superior to an open door policy. Generally, the student will want to select a college that admits students with their academic credentials.

The life style of the campus is an important factor to look into. Does the student want a strong religious atmosphere, a liberal campus or a place where fraternities, sororities and sports play a big role? The student should conader whether he wants a place where there is one set of base rules or where there are a few rules where he can make his own decisions.

Does the student want a college where a specific sport is strong? Many students look into this before anythig else. Some colleges are noted for certain sports such as Trinity University, noted for tennis. Also, the availability of athletic scholarships is a factor.

Where does the student want to live? Some students prefer to live at home while others wish to live on campus. If the student prefers to live on campus, he should check into the housing options. What is the condition of the dorms? What are the good points for oncampus housing? Each student must face these decisions to choose the right college. ^ ^ Mr Ken Reese, career counselor, said,^PJ "Choosing the right collewge is a decision well thought out. The student must take a selfinventory. The more the student knows about himself, the better decision he can make. Good decisions come from proper investigations."

Football takes on Evanston

by Tom Tully The varsity football team will play their Homecoming game against the Evanston Kits.

Evanston will bve one of the strongest teams Maine South has yet to face and a thrilling contest is anticipated.

A recent issue of The Chicago Tribune had Evanston rated as one of the top fifteen teams in the Chicago area. The Hawks believe they have the ability to topple their opponent reeardless of the Kif's reputation.

Senior player THris Kulusic commented, "Physically we compare with them, and if we play a smart ballgame, we'll win."

"Our defense should rip them a part.

They're not going to know what hit 'cm," added Jeff Thorson.

In the third game of the season, the

Highland Park Giants defeated the Hawks 15 to 14. Maine South tallied on two touchdowns in the first half. Greg Soldner scored on a 2-yd. run and Jeff Thorson increased the lead on a 19-yd. pass reception from quarterback Tom Fiddler. Fiddler made good on 22 of 38 passes for 213 yards through the air.

Chuck Berleth added two extra points to bring the score to 14-0..

The loss, however, was disappointing because of the fact that in the second half South had four chances to score from within the 5-yd. line to win the game but failed to reach the end zone.

Quaterback Fiddler added, "We outplayed them. They just had a couple of good breaks.

Next game we'll have to cut down on the mistakes in order to win."
