The films the Oscars ignored by Tom Duffy All too often, controversial films and the » , people involved with them are not given the credit they deserve because of unusual subject matter or sexual content. The following are a few people and their films which will never be given the credit they deserve. These are the types of films that the Academy Awards will forever overlook. Best Director: James L. Brooks won this title at the Oscars for his popular comedy/drama Terms of Endearment, but the award really belongs to the creator of Liquid Sky, Slava Tsukerman. This Russian-born man went through hell to make his movie. He spent five years and every dime in his pockets to create what he calls the movie he's been waiting to see. Liquid Sky delt with aliens and the acquired taste of human sexuality, and because of this story Hne, the Academy refused to recognize Tsukerman's outstanding efforts. Best Picture: Terms of Endearment also got this one, but the true masterwork of the year is Bob Fosse's Star 80, the digusting story of Playboy centerfold Dorothy Strattedn and the man obsessed with her, Paul Schneider. Bob Fosse's masterful talents as a director shined through in his telling of the story, and he spared his audience nothing. Because of this fine direction. Star 80 held the audience in its hand and made them sickened by its characters and digusted at Dorothy's rape and murder in Ithe final scenes. On every level (writing, editing, cinematography and direction). Star 80 is a masterpiece, and a crime to overlook. Again, the Academy couldn't handle a harsh, depressing film. Star 80, just as Terms of Endearment, struck a nerve which everyone has; it was just a different nerve—the one no one likes to talk about. Best Actor: Robert Duvall captured this one for his low-keyed performance in Tender Mercies, and he deserves all the recognition he
received. However, the man who earned the title of Best Actor in 1983 was Eric Roberts for his ugly portrayal of Paul Schneider in Star 80. Paul Schneider, in reality, was a self-righteous jerk, and that's what Roberts convinced his audience of. The audience hated him, yet towards the end of the film, when the audience finally sees the pain in this man's obsession with Playboy centerfold Dorothy Straiten, they sympathize with him, because Roberts portrayed a trait in every man, and the audience soon found itself feelin sorry for the man they hate. Then, there are thefilmsthat destroy any art left in film making... The Outsiders: Francis Ford Coppola's ridiculous adaptation of the S.E. Hinton novel. Return of the Jedi: George Lucas' unforgivably bad Star Wars entry. Slop. Psycho II: Anthony Perkins recreated his role for this rancid garbage as the innocentlooking Norman Bates, who kills people in the name of his mother. This, however, plays more Uke a silly comedy than a suspense thriller. Cujo: Disgusting adaptation of Stephen King's novel, which I never read. Christine: another Stephen King adaptation. Jaws 3-D: Another sequel, insulting to the pockets of people who saw it. Friday the I3th—3-D: This, the third entry in the disgustingly poor series, is probably the most boring movie ever made. Amityville 3-D: Of course. Scarface: Brian DePalma's joke of a movie has Al Pacino painfully overacting in the title role. Superman III: I never really liked any of these Superman movies, but this was by far the worst. The Man Who Wasn 't There (in 3-D): the movie that wasn't there. Educating Rita: ridiculous slop starring the
very talented Michael Caine and the very untalented Julie Walters, who was nominated for Best Actress for reasons that escape me. Zelig: another in a series of Woody Allen bombs. This time he had a great idea, but he overdid it when the script was written. Porky's II: The Next Day: Bob Clark's typical, unimaginative teenage sex comedy, sequel to the equally bad Porky's.
Wills...Wills... I, Sasha "Sushi" Pisarski, leave, and send along, the following to those who deserve it: to Kim, Moussy and the Chief-ship of the Indiana Daily Student; to Kris, good luck even though it's not "a real newspaper;" to Mo, a scorecard for parties so we can compare notes and control of the embezzlement fund; to Valle, the hope that you aren't as neurotic a senior as I was; to Kath, "The Best of Dear Abby," in case you don't have ALL the answers at Saint Mary's; to Liz, turtlenecks, of course, and the hope that you get everything you want this summer; to Lisa, loads of giggles and that chocolate shake I owe you; to Tom, my neck, since you enjoy it so much; to Mr. Hall, a copy of "Winning Through Intimidation" and an editor that's more fun to pick on; to Mrs. Markus, a motivated class, maybe of deaf-mutes (to keep the decibel level down); to Mr. Beatty, thanks for sticking by me through every crisis we'd ever imagined—and some more besides! And finally, to Fishi, a Superdawg with cheese, a dictionary, a rain check for Dave and Joe (next spring?), the hope that your twin isn't in your throat and, of course, yeast. Thanks, kid, you're a dude. And to everyone else—don't call me, I'll call you.

Wills...Wills I, Kim Wochinski, do hereby bequeath the following: to my best friend, Emily, I leave you with fond memories of Southfork, our 3:00 a.m. wake-up call during spring break, building columns in the living room, watching movies (don't forget your party noise-makers!), stories about vaccuum cleaners at 6:00 a.m., and the unforgetable "Don't forget to get your cat uterized." To Trish M. I leave new car-walking shoes, more closet movies with refreshments, and a gift certificate to AM-PM. To Sasha, I leave you with memories of frantically typing in last-minute stories on the computer and then driving over to East, Moussy Ale, and all the "f words" we've had to say during deadlines and pasteups. To Next year's Commentary Editor, 1 leave my list of story ideas (joke), a big bottle of aspirin, and a new staff that will (hopefully) get their stories in on time. To Gordy, I thank you for all the help you've given me—I couldn't have gotten through without you. And, finally, to everyone on Southwards—keep up the good work, hope next year you are able to get every issue out on time (Ha!) Good luck, Kris. Thanks everyone for everything.
Editor, lookin' back, goin' on, complainin'... There are so many things I want to say, but I don't think they'll sound right. I'll try anyway... The set-up of the regular level English classes leaves mucho to be desired. The upperclassmen classes are too specialized, with either a semester of reading or a semester of writing. As a result, students lose touch with a basic sense of grammatical proficiency (good words, huh). If regular classes could be set up more like the accelerated program, with a combination of literature and mechanics, above-average students probably wouldn't leave Maine South feeling "cheated." Why do some teachers insist on sacrificing originaUty in thought for a common writing style? The best English teacher I ever had taught me that it's what is written that matters more than how it is written. The teachers who read themes sentence-by-sentence, searching for misplaced modifiers and "w.c."s are wasting their time and often miss the point of a paper. Sure, a Warriner's is a handy little book, for things like propping a window open, but that doesn't mean it has to be the Bible of the English department. I leel so lucky to have been involved in activities in this page 6
school. I almost feel Uke I learned more outside of class than in. The best part of the extracurricular system at South is the student involvement. Students actually run most of the activities at South, like the paper, yearbook and productions. The "Editor-in-Chief or "Student Director" is not just a stooge for the sponsor, but gets on-the-spot leadership experience. This sometimes means the student gets the heat from administrators and other students, but this is an enlightening experience, one that too few students get in Maine South's cocoon-like atmosphere. I commend and thank the facuhy for having the good judgment in running their activities. I shouldn't complain. My four years at South have been great. I've met some great...interesting at least...people, had some good times, and learned something too. What a concept. I'll miss this place. I'm glad to be leaving, expanding my horizons, as it were, but it'll be weird. The Class of '84—a bunch of sarcastic, obnoxious kids. I couldn't have asked for better friends. Sasha Pisarski. Editor-in-Chief 1983-84^
Tunes: Best of the Class of '84 by John Johnson ^ High school would have been a complete hassle without music. Music is really appreciated, especiallly when talking to someone who has nothing to say. Imagine talking to Mark Filip, our beloved Student Council President, during a pleasant get-together without something to keep your mind off what he is saying. Plus, music saves many people without anything to say or who do not want to say much. Besides an escape, music can set a mood or atmosphere. A toga is just not complete without Otis Day and the Nights turned up loud. A good 60s bash means no Boy George, while a "gay-teeny-bopper" gathering means no Jimmi Hendrix. But with all moods and atmospheres, music carries the special quality of much-needed pleasure. With all this in mind, I put together a list of the most-played gourps throughout the fouryear stay of the Class of '84. If they're different from your picks, don't bug me—it's just my opinion. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young: This group made the list because its followers would bug me about the absence of their listing. Rob Vinopal and associates would inform me for weeks of my poor decisions and worthless listening habits. I would much rather mention CSNY and be done with it.

Council President reviews year As Student Council President, I think it is important that the Maine South student body be informed of Student Council's activities throughout the year. In the summer, Student Council worked at booksales, selling Busy Signals and providing tours for incoming freshmen. During the fall, Student Council sponsored a Leadership Conference for the officers of school clubs. Student Council also organized and supervised Homecoming, specifically running the carnival, parade, assembly and queen selection. Student Coucnil also sponsored the fall Ice Cream Social and then had a food frive at Thanksgiving for the underpriviledged of Chicago's West Side. During the winter, Student Council organized and ran the Winter Spirit Assembly and also provided much of the background support of V-Show, including a free dinner for the cast and crew and initial funding for sets and equipment. Student Council also ran the Christma Card Exchange, delivered Busy Signals and held a Faculty Appreciation Day.
During the s p r i n g , S t u d e n t Council ran the AFS/Brotherhood Assembly, the Spring Charity Ice Cream Social and also sponsored a Spring Festival, which included an Art Festival, Sports Assembly and South Sounds concert night. Also, Student Council participated in four student exchange programs with Maine East, Maine West, New Trier and Providence-St. Mel, and gave four scholarships to college-bound seniors. Student Council has also pursued several ongoing activities, among those being the creation of a comprehensive, organized orientation program for transfer students and incoming freshman, and also participation in district, regional and state level council organizations. Finally, this past month Student Council held elections for next year's offices, committee chairmen, complex leaders and representatives, and now the newly formed Council has taken charge for next year.

Stilp plans quiet retirement Mr. Joseph Stilp, art teacher, will retire at the end of this year. Mr. Stilp studied at several schools, but received his Masters' degree from the Chicago Art Institute. Mr. Stilp has taught for thirty-one years, and has spent twenty of them at Maine South.

Mr. Stilp was also Chairman of the committees that planned the Maine West and Maine South art departments prior to the schools' openings in 1958 and 1964. "I've had many, many good years of helping develop art programs and it has been very good to have the opportunity to start two departments from
scratch," Mr. Stilp commented. Having taught most art courses in the district, Mr. Stilp feels that it is time to "sit under a palm tree and sell decorative shells to the tourists. Well, at least that's what I tell the kids." Mr. Stilp still plans to paint, make prints and sculpt in his studio in his home in Park Ridge. He wants "time to myself so I can do my own art work." Mr. Stilp feels that the most satisfying part of his teaching years is that so many of his students have gone on to art careers. Mr. Joseph Stilp Art Teacher page 15

I am preparing for retirement and as I gather my thoughts I keep coming back to one. I want to tell all of you how much I have enjoyed being a part of Maine South these past 20 years. Where could one be where you would be thanked over and over all day long for serving and be paid for this service too? Students, you have been a pleasure and it is fun to share the day with you. Faculty, it has been a rewarding experience to have you as friends. Co-workers are indeed a bonus in my day. It has been great watching freshmen grow into impressive seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sharing the programs and achievements of all of you great young people. Thanks again to all of you for this happy experience. Guess I'd like to add: There has not been a day at Maine South I didn't like.

Point of view
m
Let's change Senior Cut Day
Maine South has always maintained a reputation as one of the best high schools in Illinois. Whether we realize this fact or not, we students are better prepared for college and post high school life because of the high academic standards Maine South upholds. Along with having these high educational standards, Maine South has many rules and regulations that make South students the caliber required at a top high school. For the most part, the administration and its rules have been and can be tolerated. With a few exceptions, there have not been any major blow-ups about school policy or student behavior. I think this is due, in part, to the different type of attitude students in recent classes have had. We are not quite as radical as our peers of the 1960's. We may never have a smoking lounge, Walkmen will probably never be allowed and WXRT will never play in the halls. Although these impossibilities upset some students, these are not tragic issues. One policy I would sincerely like to change, though, is that of senior cut day. According to school officials, there is no such thing as
by Dimnitra DeFotis "Senior Cut day." Rather, May 25 has been labeled "Senior Exam Review Day." Well, teachers assume that students will not show up that day and, therefore, review on Thursday. Even if a senior decides to come to school the Friday before prom, there isn't any point! With one or two people in a class at the most, how can a normal class be in session anyway? Most juniors and "leftovers" are sent to lounge that day. Obviously the school could do something as unorthodox as condoning cut da y. However, all seniors are required to be in school on cutday or be called in sick (the only excuseable absence). Personally, I think this is one big joke. Past years have proven that seniors do not come to school on cut day. So, why do our parents have to be asked to lie for us so our absence can be excused? It's not as if students are trying to avoid a vigorous day of studying and review! Many parents will not lie and call in sick, but they give their approval for cutting school. If one is not called in, though, he is truant, and is required to have reassignment during his next day of class. (A day for finals for seniors in this case.)
Roughly ten years ago, 125 seniors filled the reassignment room as a result of senior cut day, according to Dean Bitta. "Well then, you're asking parents to lie for their children?" I asked him. "No. You be in school that day, that's all," he replied. For a school of such a high caliber, I think there is some kind of hypocracy in reasoning here. Many people will lie on that day, will be "sick," and will not care about the true reason for absence. The administration cannot approve the validity of a parent's call for absence due to sickness. But, why bother with all of this red tape? I hope that someday, the so-called Senior Cut day will be eliminated and be a day off altogether. Then the day before will be a true review day, and no one will have to lie, or play games with the administration. It's unfortunate that the most honest people who cut that day without calling in will suffer the most with reassignment or green slips to the dean. (And then REALLY miss class.) But of course, rules were not designed for the benefit of the honest man.
Class Struggles
It's been fun, really. by Mark Filip As I said last year, the worst part about graduation is all the teary good-byes that inevitably show up in the senior issue of Southwards. Instead of looking back, I prefer to look ahead, and so here are my predictions regarding the destinies of several of this year's seniors, where they'll be and what they'll be doing ten years from now when our First reunion rolls around. Vic Cecchin—One lazy Sunday morning ten years from now you'll be flipping through the channels of your cable TV and suddenly you'll see a familiar looking figure clad in a black and gold Speedo, wearing a cape with a snake on it. As the Professional Wrestling Champion of the World, Vic will become a folk hero of the 1990's, and don't say I didn't warn you when you wind up buying your kids "Mr. V" lunch boxes. Rob Keller and Jim Slattery—Ten years from now, Jim and Rob will have made millions as the producers of the first cynical children's TV program. It's a Dog's Life, Kids. On the show children will play games in which there is no winner, will be told stories in which the bad guys win, and will, under no conditions, ever receive any milk or cookies. It's a Dog's Life, Kids will be hailed by psychologists as a realistic alternative to Romper Room and Jim and Rob will be a smash hit from coast to coast. Laura Marti— Developing the talent that
she displayed this year in Graffiti, Laura will be a successful poet in New York ten years from now. Just having been awarded a Pulitzer Prize for her collected edition of romantic poems entitled Ouch, My Emotions, Laura will be unable to attend the reunion because of a special seven part interview on the Dick Cavelt Show. Frank Stomello—Frank will be thousands of miles away from here ten years from now, basking in all the fame and glory that Hollywood has to offer a young buck in America. As the successor to John Travolta, Frank will be riding high on the success of his latest film, the fifth in the Saturday Night Live series, entitled Keeping Alive, and will be comtemplating expanding his horizons into the realm of male modeling. Diana Specht—Unfortunately, Diana will also be unable to come to Maine South for our ten year reunion. After years of running, Diana will be spending the night of reunion in cell seven, block G of Joliet Federal Prison, serving a thirty day sentence for not paying back her student loans. Marc Mazzeri—After a successful career in the U.S.F.L., Marc will be embarking on a new career as a poultry farmer. At the reunion. Marc will astound everyone present by announcing that he has just been elected mayor of his new hometown, Rantoul, Illinois. Joe Lemersal—Joe will return for our reu-
nion ten years from now as a man deeply troubled, haunted by an astounding secret that he can share with noone. After the secret cocaine overdose death of Tony Geary in 1986, Joe will have taken over as Luke Spencer on General Hospital, and will have appeared as Luke for over seven years with not a single hint of suspicion from America's soap opera fans. Tragically, however, all of Joe's female costars will have to have endured special bone reduction surgery that will have scaled them down in order to hide the eight inch height difference between Joe and Tony. Monica Malec—After becoming disillusioned with medicine, "I guess I just got tired of dealing with sick people," Monica will drive up to the reunion in a 1994 Porsche Turbo, having made millions in her new career as the founder of a new assertiveness training course, "Mr. Elbow Meets Your Solar Plexus." Mike Baum—Northwestern University has always produced TV stars like Ann-Margaret and Charleston Heston, and ten years from now Mike will be continuing this fine tradition, carrying the Wildcat banner to new entertainment horizons. Combining his loves of dancing and physical fitness, Mike will star on the first punk rock aerobics show. Eight Count Anarchy, breaking new barriers into the FCC broadcasting codes and opening up whole new worlds for suburban housewifes. page 19

Soccer team ends impressive season This has been the first year of girls' soccer at .Maine South and the team has had a very sucjp;essful season. They were undefeated as of May 22 and they were eligible for competition in the Niles West Mini-State Tournament. The team went undefeated with a 16-0-1 record. The tie was against the powerful Evanston Wildkits. This season, the Hawks rolled to many easy victories by margins of eight to ten goals. There have been a few close games against teams such as Libertyville and Evanston, teams with an established soccer program, but Maine South has shown its strengths and has proved to be one of the top teams in the area. In the mini-state tournament, the team won the opening round. The Niles West tourney brings some of the top team in the area together to play, because the IHSA does not sponsor a state tournament for girls' soccer.
The players have been the true strength of the Maine South soccer team. Senior Carolyn Bachmeier is one of the most outstanding players on the team. Carolyn acted as captain this year. Her leadership has been very important during the close, hard-fought games. Another player who has made the team so good is Laura Haaning. Laura plays centerhalfback, and controls much of the action of the game. Coach Jack Tilley commented that Laura is one of the best overall players on the team. Laura is only a sophomore so she shouls provide strength for the team in the future.
Laura, Sherri is a sophomore and she has two more years to play. On defense the main player has been Rose Resch. She has played extremely well and has been the difference in holding opposing teams' scores to only one or two goals. Rose has been the anchor on defense to hold the other team while allowing the forwards to go downfield to score. Rose is a junior and will be back on next year's team. These players are what has allowed the team to win so many games and advance to the ministate tourney.
Another outstanding athlete on this year's team is Sherri Herbert. Sherri played right wing and was a great part of the offense. Sherd's speed and agility enabled her to outrun all her defenders. Sherri was very hard to stop and she was a great forward. Like

He placed sixth on the parallel bars. Coach John Riccitelli remarked, "This is the best season we've had for a while. We'll be losing key seniors like Scott Martin, Bill Christie and Craig DeVelasco, but underclassmen Tony Sweeney, Jim Huston and Dan DeNardis should take their place."

Both were two year varsity letter winners for the Hawks, leading the team to two consecutive regional championships. Billy's outside shooting provided almost 14 points per game. Djonlich, provided Maine South with strong inside play, averaging 15.4 pts./game and 8 rebounds. Both were AllConference and All-Area selections this year. John also was selected to the East Aurora tournament team for the past two seasons. The Hawks will sorely miss these players.
Paul Walker is the most valuable wrestler for the 1984 season. The junior led the Hawks in almost every category, takedowns, 90, escapes and points. Paul was selected as an All-Conference wrestler at the 115 lb. weight group this year. Walker advanced to districts this season and is favored to capture the district championship next year, making him definite possibility for a state title next year. Next year Paul will be continuing the vast improvement at the varsity level for the Hawks. Mark Wachendorf is this year's swim team MVP. He was co-MVP swimmer in 1983. In 1984 he placed fourth in state in the 500 yard freestyle and eighth in state in the 200 IM. He qualified for nationals in 500, 1000 and 1500 meter races. He was state sectional champion in the 500 yard freestyle.
