New Policy in Effect A new program designed to curb smoldng and vandalism in the washrooms began a week ago Wednesday. Each faculty member is assigned to a washroom during one of the passing periods each day.

This action is the result of seven weeks of work by the Executive and Administrative Councils.

Mr. Robert V. Simonson, assistant principal, explained the reason behind the new initiative; "We were getting many complaints from the non-smoking students who couldn't use the washroom facilities because of smoking students. The nonsmokers came to us with the problem and asked us to solve it. We are doing the best we can."

However, Mr. Simonson hopes this program will not need to be permanent. He states, "Hopefully, it won't need to be permanent. We are hoping the situation will be corrected by a temporary measure."

C-101 counselor Mr. Alfred C. Drummond believes the new procedure of stationing faculty members to guard against smoking and vandalism was necessary because problems have a "tendency to get worse."

Also, Mr. Drummond feels "students should show some respect for the school as an institution." Therefore, the new action was necessary.

"When we hear loud voices, we think they represent the voice of the majority, which is not necessarily so," Mr. Drummond continued. "However, a school must have rules. This is not Plato's Republic, but a school in which we are trying to educate individuals.

"Taxpayers of this community don't pay taxes to subsidize

smoking in washrooms," Mr. Drummond concluded.

Last Friday, approximately 150 students staged a walkout in which they blocked sections of the main hall. First period was delayed about 25 minutes.

When students were told to move into C-100, some co-operated, and some did not. Students who resisted were suspended from three to ten days, depending on their conduct.

These students elected fi\'e representatives: Pete Lannon '73, Mike Springston '73, Ed Novak '73. Charlie Downey '74 and Phil Pistone '74 to negotiate with the administration.

This committee agreed to draw up an alternate proposal and present it to the administration through Student Council.

Faculty reaction to the walkout was generally negative. Mr. Robert Hunt, English teacher, stated, "The walkout was stupid and accomplished nothing.

Parents and the community have patently made it clear that they do not want smoking in school. Since this is a public school, it is its function to listen to the public."

In reaction to the new administrative measure, Mr. Hunt continued, "By guarding washrooms, teachers are, in fact, trying to protect student rights."

Mr. John Heerman. social science teacher, believed the walkout was "an irresponsible action that can only hurt responsible student action. Students have hurt their own cause. " In reference to a smoking lounge, Mr. Heerman opposed the idea. "Spending money on a health class and then giving students a smoking lounge seems incongruous."

Robandt, Treasurer Candidate Alan Robandt, '75, Sophomore class president, is also running for Student Council Treasurer.

"I feel this office is the most effective way 1 can be involved in Student Council. Also I'd like to see a sophomore elected to a major office," stated Alan in answer to why he is running for office.

If elected, Alan plans to continue Rick Tinaglia's, plan of reconcilhation. Alan feels the students can only expect to get

open campus and a smoking lounge "if there is communication between students and the administration. Also, students have to organize.

Alan would also like to see the smoking lounge tried on an experimental basis organized in the outside lounge. However, he is against Student Council's subsidizing clubs because "if a club can't survive on its own it means students aren't involved or care enough, so why should

Williams for Treasurer Dean Williams '74 is running for treasurer because he feels that Student Council "needs more people to promote itself and its ideas."

"I think that treasurer is an office I can handle and can change. In the past, a treasurer's voice wasn't that important and I think I can change that by getting the Treasurer more involved."

He commented that in order to do more, Student Council has to have more student interest.

"One way would be to put suggestion boxes back in the homerooms. This was tried a few years ago but the boxes were removed partially because of obscene writings and partly because of lack of student interest. Hopefully the kids now are

more mature and with the major issue of smoking, something useful might become of it."

He also said that Student Council could create more interest if they wouldn't meet so early. They currently meet around 7:15 a.m.

"Maybe if the meetings were moved to ninth period or after school, more kids would be interested and come. Also the kids that come should be allowed to participate in the meeting instead of just watching."

that club exist?"

He also dislikes Student Council's recent proposal of an activity sign on the corner of Dee and Talcott costing $1400. "It would not only fail to blend with the architecture, but would be a target for vandalism."

One of the most important improvements should be the relationship between students and their homeroom representatives.

Representatives should overcome the fear of speaking in homeroom. Council should be closer and more available to students. This could happen through a council report over the PA system similar to the sports report," explained Alan.

He also feels, "We should work with the administration according to their rules. Basically, the administration controls CouncU. If Council would give in a little and act reasonably, they'd gain the administration's respect and set results."

Alan feels Student Council should work with Class Council in sponsoring events. "Students want and are waiting for something; if we can find it, we can unite them with a new school spirit."

Tou Can't Take It With You' Turns Up As Hit

By Eileen Daugherty From the realistic stage setting to each individual character, the Maine South Senior Class Play "You Can't Take it With You" was a booming success.

From the time the curtain first went up on stage, revealing a well-furnished and authentically decorated set, to the time the curtain came back down at the end of the final scene, the audience was captivated by the Sycamores and their friends

and became immersed in the Sycamore's peculiarities.

Katy Davlin '73 professionally brought out the sometimes humorous warmth of the mother Penelope Sycamore. Katy showed Penny's "Live and Let Live" philosophy in a motherly fashion: although she deeply loved and cared about her family, Penny did not dote upon them.

Marti Glendening '73 seemed to fit the part of the daughter Essie the ballet dancer. As she flitted about and did her Dying

Duck solo dance on stage, Marti gave the play added humor as she proclaimed that she wanted to be a professional ballet dancer at the age of 30.

Jim Wall '73, who played Ed Sycamore, Essie's husband, not only showed his musical talent on the xylophone, but he showed his acting talent as weU. His portrayal of Ed as a rather naive young man came across very well.

Paul Sycamore, the father, wzs effectively handled by Chris

Omarzu '73, as was the character of Mr. DePinna, played

by Tom Vinopal '73. Both of these men seemed to turn the Sycamore household into an arsenal at times as they experimented with firework-making.

One of the most realistic jobs of portraying Old .Age was done

by Rick Tinaglia '73, who played the role of the Grandfather, Mar tin Vanderhof. Through his voice and his deliberate, movements.

Rick blended the wisdom and understanding of Grandpa with

Shortwords

Talk Out' Instead Of Walk Out? Judy At 8:10 a.m. February 15, a number of students gathered in the front hall of Maine South in protest. By 8:50, school began as usual. Or did it? Why had the students protested? Was a demonstration the only way to notify the administration of their grievances? Who is to blame?

The students had many complaints. For one, these students protested the placing of teachers in the washroom between classes. The teachers not only allowed no student to smoke, but made some students feel uncomfortable. These students believed they should be able to smoke and have a smoking lounge. After all, teachers are allowed to smoke.

Teachers were placed in the washrooms to prevent smoking

and vandalism. They are there also to protect other students who wish to use the washroom without fighting clouds of smoke. The teachers are instructed to stand guard by the administration.

Smoking in school is against district policy. Hence, district policy would have to be changed before a smoking lounge could be tried even experimentally.

Was the walkout the most effective means of protest? The most mature way? Before the walkout, a smoking lounge proposal was brought before Student Council. It was placed in a committee. No action could be taken due to the administration's disapproval. Maine East students tried an open school board hearing for all those in-

Election Regulations According to Mike Eberle, Organizations Committee chairman, each candidate must observe certain regulations to be eligible for a Student Council office. These rules are listed in a seven-page Candidate Information booklet.

For example, each candidate is allowed three campaign headquarters. The Organizations Committee reserves the right to prohibit any campaign headquarters location and to check on them at any time.

As for expenses, no candidate may spend more than $40 on his campaign. He may not receive any money from any organization in or out of school.

The detailed expense report

must be turned in to Mike before 8 a.m. March 7.

Only two posters per candidate may be hung in homeroom complexes. The Organizations Committee reserves the right to limit posters elsewhere in the building. All must be signed by one of the deans. Posters may be hung and hand-outs may be passed out until March 7, from 7:30 to 8:00 a.m. and 3:40 to 4:30 p.m.

Speeches must be given to Mike two school days before the event. Four school days are required for the All School .Assembly March 7. Otherwise, no presentation will be allowed for the candidate. No campaign

terested to change the school board's decision of no smoking in school or at school events.

However, instead of a walkout, those students could have tried talking with the principal, dean and school board again.

Also they could have formed an organized representative body which could talk maturely and

reasonably with the administration. But when words fail, what can students do? Parent complaints are a possible answer.

The administration and students have to know and understand each other. They have to work together: be it for the lounge or anything. Communication is vital.

the age. The two prayer scenes before the meals were beautifully done.

Dee McNamara '74, who played Alice Sycamore, did a notable job of showing her inner conflict at bringing her boyfriend Tony Kirby (Rocco Rotunno '74) home to meet her family. Rocco revealed the understanding of Tony expertly as he showed .Alice that he still loved her.

Dan .Amedei '74 and Carol O'Malley '73 clearly showed the contrast between the Kirbys and the Sycamores. Carol 0'MaUey's horrified reaction to the snakes as she played Mrs. Kirby, along with Dan's reactions to Grandpa added even more hunor to the play.

Not only did the acting show the quality of the play, but the impressive, realistic stage set and the special effects added to the cast's professional job and greatly enhanced the play.

•You Can't Take it With You" seemed to show that in order to be truly individual, a person must be happy from within. All in all, the '73 Senior Class play "You Can't Take it With You" ti'uly deserved a standing ovation for both cast and crew.

responsibilities. Approximately 200 parents, several teachers, counselors, administrators and students attended.

Five skits constituted the first part of the program. These skits Ulustrated the common disciplinary problems administrators are faced with: destruction of school property, failure to carry I.D.'s, smoking in washrooms, cutting class and directing obscenities at staff members.

After this presentation, those attending separated into several small discussion groups.

Sample copies of behavior reports were distributed describing the offenses presented in skits.

Parents generally agreed with existing school regulations dealing with vandalism, cutting and use of obscenities. However, on the issue of smoking offenses, opinion was divided.

Several parents argued for a smoking area, while several others opposed both student and teacher smoking on school grounds. Their reasoning was that smoking is not allowed in public buildings which in this ease includes the faculty lounge.

After a half-hour discussion, those attending again gathered in the auditorium where Mr. Robert V. Simonson, assistant principal, summarized the disciplinary procedures which would be used in each sample case.

Dr. Clyde K. Watson, Maine South principal, commented on the purpose of the meeting. '"The meeting was intended to allow parents to attempt to solve common discipline problems, then compare their measures with those currently used."

Asked about the issue of a smoking lounge. Dr. Watson replied. "Parents don't have any say in the matter, except to elect school board members."

Dr. Watson, referring to parents' arguments about the possible illegality of allowing teachers to smoke in the faculty

lounge, stated, "It is not illegal, according to state law, to smoke in a public building if there is a designated area with sufficient fire detection and prevention equipment."

"However, the issue of students smoking in a designated area is not covered by this law.

It is left totally up to the school board to decide on the matter," Dr. Watson continued.

At the February 19 meeting, the school board voted to reaffirm its original stand on the issue which is to continue its present policy against student smoking.

No Contest Tom Schacfcr To Be Sole VP Candidate The sole contender for the position of vice-president of Student Council next year is Tom Schaefer 74.

Tom is backed by experience

Tom Schaefer '74, is the only candidate f o r the office of Student Council vice-president.

as president of his homeroom in grammar school, sophomore and junior class council representative, and Tom also ran for sophomore class treasurer and junior class president.

This candidate does not claim to have an unusual platform where he promises to accomplish certain things. "A lot of people would say they have ten things they are going to get done, and then they never do them. I'm saying I will put my full effort towards a situation and try to get some results," commented Tom. Tom hopes to continue Quad Council and receive better results with it next year. He likes the idea of the four Maine schools getting together trying to solve common problems. "We can find out how they got what they wanted and try tomove in the same direction towards our goals," Tom said.

A new idea on Tom's platform is to have reserve ID's. A copy of each student's picture would be kept in the dean's office. If

a student forgot his ID, there would be no problem in identifying him. The student would keep the reserve ID for the day and return it when he has his personal ID the next day.

Tom plans to "get more things going, "like the sock hop. About every two weeks there should be something going that isn't formal or that you have to have a date for." "Nearly everyone will agree that the senior classsponsored sock hop in January was a huge success and that South could use a few more activities like that," he added.

Tom agrees with the rest of SC that a smoking lounge is a good idea. "But I think the way it's been handled is all wrong.

The time isn't right. The lounge has just been shuffled off by the parents. A subject as big and touchy as this needs organization and representation by the parents. The only way we're going to get a smoking lounge is through parental consent. "Tom plans to continue to work for

Mary Rebedeau States Her Platform for S.C. Secretary Mary Rebedeau '75 is running for the office of Student Council secretary. Mary said she wants to "continue the good relationship between students and administration established by Rick Tinaglia." But like her predecessors, she supports change.

"I'd like to see Student Council give the vote to committee chairmen and class presidents," Mary commented. "I'd also want to see a committee formed to fill the vacancies of inactive members."

"Students should also be more involved in tlie educational process," Mary continued. "A non-voting student representative from each Maine school should be on the school board to report to us what's going on and to inform the board about student feelings.

A student committee should be set up to review educational priorities to aid administrators. The school board has become too detached. 1 think both sides would benefit from the exchange of ideas."

Students could make individual recommendations by the use of a Council operatec'. suggestion box.

Other innovations that Mary supports are standardized Council reports, pass-fail physical education, Freshmen Orientation Day and a smoking lounge.

"Everyone doesn't get to hear Student Council reports the way they're read now," Mary explained. "If they were read over the P.A. like the sports report, everyone would be informed.

As for pass-fail P.E., I think everyone should have the option to receive pass or fail grades rather than a letter grade in their gym classes."

Freshman Orientation Day is another important part of Mary's platform. She thinks that the freshmen should be shown around school before their first day so that they know how school is set up and operated.

On the issue of a smoking lounge Mary said, "I'd like to see a smoldng lounge opened; however, it should be organized among all four Maine schools.

First committees should be formed to look at all aspects and problems of the lounge. Only after sll the problems have been solved should a smoking lounge be opened."

"My platform describes the

a lounge next year. .\ccording to Tom, "Apathy seemed to be a big problem in SC this year. SC wasn't able to follow through on many of its plans because it didn't get the proper support. "Basically, I want to help improve Council

by encouraging more and more participation. Council isn't just 50 people that go into a room to discuss school matters. They're just representatives," Tom explained. "We need the whole school behind us to make it work."

IHSA District Speech Here Maine South will host the IHSA District Speech Contest March 3 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. District competition wiU include the areas of drama and speech, and schools participating are in the Maine, NUes, Glenbrook, Evanston and New Trier townships.

Maine South's drama entry in the Districts will be a one-act cutting, "The Winners", from the play "Lovers" by Brian Friel. Directed by Mr. Hal Chastain and student director Becky Buford '75, the roles will be played by Scott Brownson '73 as Joe, Mary Rebedeau '75 as Mag, Tom Peters '73 as the Man, and Kim Hartl '73 as the Woman.

Also included in the Districts in the speech category are the areas of dramatic interpretation, humorous interpretation, prose, verse, oratory, original comedy, oratorical declamation, radio, extemporaneous and duet acting. Names of participants in the Districts will be posted February 26 on the door of con-

test manager Mrs. Susan Benjamin's office.

The next step in the IHSA Contest, Sectionals, will be held at Woodstock High School, Wood stock, on March 17 for Individual Events and on March 24 for drama and debate competition. The first three placing individuals in Districts will be allowed to participate in Sectionals. Those awarded the first three places in Sectionals will proceed to the state finals on the weekend of March 30-31 in Bloomington.

Mrs. Benjamin commented that the students to represent Maine South in Districts would be difficult to choose, and added, "We're excited to host the District Contest, and we hope that we have good competition and fun on March 3."

PASSWORDS Another Teacher's Institute Day is coming on Friday, March 2. It's too bad for the teachers who have to attend, but students have the day off!

Plan Washington Workshop For a first-hand examination of national government, juniors can apply for the Washington Workshop, held in Washington, D.C. this summer, by filling out applications available in the social science office.

Sponsored by the Maine South Social Science Department and funded by the Kiwanis Club of Park Ridge, two juniors will have the opportunity to examine government in a personal, people-oriented way.

Students will participate in daily discussions with senators, congressmen, cabinet members, and other government officials.

Juniors can get applications this Friday or next w e e k through Feb. 29. A committee of social science teachers will

decide on the two juniors for the trip.

Students must pay transportation costs to and from Washington, but their seven day stay will be paid for by the Park Ridge Kiwanis.

The first Washington Workshop is from June 17-24, the second, from June 24-July 1. .\t the workshops, emphasis is placed on personal initiative.

Any line of legitimate interest and debate about government is welcomed. The students will participate in daily discussions with senators, congressmen, cabinet members, and other government officials.

Students can personally present their thoughts to govern-

ment leaders. For example, Jim Lackner of Highland Park, III., came to the workshop last summer with a plan to improve the welfare system.

Jim's plan is now mentioned in the Congressional record, and was discussed by Hon. Brock Adams of Washington during the 91st session.

Social life will not be ignored at the workshops either. Students will reside at Mount Vernon College, in air-conditioned double occupancy dorm rooms.

Workshop students are invited to use the college's facilities, which include tennis courts, barbecue patios, and dormitory lounges. At the end of each seminar, everybody's invited to a buffet dinner and dance.

'Terpsichore^ Has Talent

New Flicks for Film Society The Film Society has announced its second semester program schedule and is encouraging students to obtain memberships.

This semester's schedule is "the most expansive ever and promises to provide something for everyone," states Bill Baumgartner, president.

The first film of the semester, "Bullit," will be shown March 1. Thereafter a film will be shown approximately every two weeks.

Besides offering "Bullit," the Film Society will screen AKred Hitchcock's "Suspicion" to satisfy the needs of the mystery fanatic.

Catering to the film connoisseur, the classic "Battle of Algiers" will be featured as will an experimental film festival consisting of several outstanding animated shorts.

In addition, the Film Society will show ".Arthur Penn, 1972 Themes and Variants," a movie examining the director of "Little Big Man." For those individuals with a social conscience, Film Society will sponsor the documentary

"Dead Birds," an analysis of a primitive culture in which war is an integral facet of everyday life.

Second semester membership in the Film Society is the only prerequisite for seeing these films. First semester memberships are inapplicable.

Second semester dues are $1 and are payable in the bookstore or the cafeteria. As some old sage is sure to have said, "For a buck you can't lose."

Big Teeny Bop This March 2 .\fter drawing a relatively big percentage of the student body for the first Maine South sochop, the Senior Class is sponsoring another dance entitled "Anything Goes."

Fifties to seventies music will be played after the last basketball game on March 2.

Starting this Monday, tickets will be sold in the bookstore and cafeteria. Since there is a limited supply, students are encouraged to buy their tickets.

Orchesis members rehearse dance routine f r o m this year's dance show, 'Terpsicore.' Performance dates are Sat., Feb. 24 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 25 at 3 p.m.

Grapplers First in Southern Division TTie varsity wrestling team sent nine wrestlers into the finals of the districts and came out with four boys who will try to go downstate this weekend if they can win in the Evanston Sectional.

Those four are. Chuck Myers, junior Dave Jenkins, and seniors Chuck DiFranco, and Dave "Cougar" Bamett.

The districts started Thursday evening with the Hawks placing nine into the semi-finals. "We could have taken second had Maine East not had their three best wrestlers wrestle in a row," stated coach Zeimek.

Ed Frick and junior teammate Tim Starck both wrestled well to take thirds in their respective weight classes. Charlie Myers was the hero, though, in taking a first place in the 119 lb. class by winning two tough bouts.

Charlie will have a bye in his first match at Evanston. Jenkins, DiFranco, and Bamett all took second places which qualified them for sectional.

Coach Zeimek said, "The guys did an outstanding job, and especially Charlie Myers. W e should have taken s e c o n d though."

Hawks Go For Tie

by Mark Mangold The Maine South Hawks knew that last Friday's game with Niles West would be a big one.

The feeling was there and they were sky high. The Hawks were taking an 8-2 conference mark into the game, while the Indians entered with a 7-3 record.

One more loss and the Hawks knew that their hopes for any part of the CSL Championship would be shattered, and Niles West had the perfect role of the villian.

The game rolled off to a slow start and remained scoreless vmtil, with a little more than two minutes gone, Tony Reibel hit the sec<md of two free throws.

Niles West charged right back aad went ahead on a short jumper by guard Blake Lorenz. The Hawk attack then hit full stride as Bob Westman dropped a 15 footer to put the Hawks back in the lead.

The first period continued much the same with Bill Harbeck and Westman keeping the Hawks in it with their shooting.

The hom sounded with the score deadlocked at 17-17.

Cold shooting and lackluster rebounding proved severe as in the early goings of the second quarter the Indians reeled off six straight points to pull ahead by eight, 44-36 at the half.

Despite the deficit, the Hawks did not give up and came out to play in the secwid half. Jerry Jones, who only hit one basket the first half, opened up for 14 points in this quarter as he managed to bring the Hawks within six by the quarter's end.

Finally in the fourth period the Hawks work and determination shown thru as, via the :;hooting and rebounding efforts of Jones and Westman they caught and passed the Indians.

Jones connected for ten points in this quarter, while also picking up three assists that lead to key Hawk buckets.

Bill Harbeck, who scored 14 points, picked up his fifth foul with a little over four minutes remaining in the contest. Coach Brady pulled Jim Hirsch off the bench and Hirsch promptly responded with a steal that set Jones up for the lead bucket.

Niles West threatened again late in the game but the Hawks managed to stave the attack to win an 80-77 thriller.

Jones was high scorer, for the contest with 28, but maybe more important was the fact that Jerry crashed the boards for 10

Westman finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds to his credit. Pete Boesen got 12.

The weeks before, however, the Hawks were not so fortunate as they lost to Glenbrcok North on the home court.

The game was not even close as Glenbrook came to play and ran the Hawks right out of the gym.

The score at half was 40-30 and the Hawks never again came within 10 points of their foes. A late fourth quarter spurt failed and the Hawks lost it 72-57.

Tony Reibel was the only Hawk who seemed ready to play and he finished the night with 12 points.

Student opinion on the walkout was also negative. Pete Lannon, Student Council representative, believed "it was a pretty hasty measure and poorly organized. Students should have go.ae through proper channels first," Pete concluded, "The issue of a smoking lounge was a bad cause to begin with: it doesn't have the support of the majority of students."

Feb. 21, the five-student committee presented a motion to Student Council to replace faculty washroom supervisors with volunteer student monitors. Stu-

dent Council passed the measure.

Any student monitor will be a volunteer; he will have the same power and privileges as the teacher supervisor.

If the student monitor abuses his powers, disciplinary action will be brought against him.

This proposal will include the monitor's guarding against vandalism as well as smoking.

Janet Daly '73, Student Council secretary, is pessimistic about the idea. She doesn't believe that enough students will volunteer to make the program possible even if the Executive Council approves the measure.

would also be a good indication that the Hawks could beat New Trier West and Notre Dame, the other victorious opponents at the state meet. These two, along with Maine South, are the top teams in Illinois, according to Coach Doherty.

The varsity to this point has an 8-3 record and a third in an invitational, in all cases having finished behind only the above two squads.

Fencing squads are divided into two levels called strips.

Coach Doherty feels that his team has the strongest B-strip of the area • teams, and cites this strength as one factor in the successful season and his optimism.

Maine South was without that stronger strip at that invitational, the Inter-Suburban Championships, which fas for Astrippers only. However, the team still finished third, with Jim Herring '74 and Don Clem '73 the leading fencers.

The A-strip is made up of Herring, Clem, and Dave Young '74. Incidentally, all three are left-handers, which in fencing is often seen as an advantage.

Ed Novak '73, Ed Priest '73, and Ken Taylor '74 are the members of the B-strip.

So far, the Hawks have done as follows: beat Marshall 13-5 and 12-6, beat New Trier East 11-7 twice, lost to New Trier West 6-12, beat Niles East 11-7 twice, bea Niles West 9-9 and 14-4, and lost to Notre Dame.

6-7 sophomore c e n t e r , Pete Boesen (43), grabs a crucial second half rebound in last Friday's 8077 Hawk victory at Niles West.
