CHIEFTFIN

bv Paul Monach Invitational, held Iast Friday, in 19'3", probably the season's top

Having completed qualifying

for tonight's finals of the Reading

Invitational, the boys' track team will go head-to-head with many of the other AA schools in the area.

Head coach Mr. Robert West was unsure of the Braves' eventual fin-

ish in the mammoth meet, saying, "Reading's a big field; it's hard to my."

West did indicate, however, that IH would likely suffer from

the "invitational syndrome" that has already struck once this year. Explained West, "A lot of teams we would beat one-on-one will score higher in an invitational b e cause of an individual or two."

The Braves are adequate or good

in most events but outstanding in none; a couple of first-place fm- ishes go a long way in an invitational.

This "syndrome" was perfect-

Iv demonstrated in the Mariemont

which IH fMshed tenth of eleven

teams. The Braves, collecting only 20 points, were nevertheless

five points away from fifth. Sophomore Tony Hoffman scored eight of those points by fmishing

second in the pole vault, at a

height of 10'0", to lead the team. Junior Keary Dunn placed

fourth in the long jump with a

leap of 18'11", and also was a member of the fourth-place 1600 relay team (also including senior

Brian More, Junior Kevin Viox, and sophomore David Miller),

achieving a season-best time of 3:47.

True to form, IH returned to

the Mariemont track three days later to defeat two teams that had

outscored the Braves in the invitational. IH, with 73 points, had

little trouble downing Felicity, with 50, and Mariemont, with 32.

Dunn w9n the long jump in

paformance in any event, and

moved into the team lead in points, with 37. Other winners

were freshman Charlie Gall in the 200 in 25.2, senior Paul Monach

in the mile in 5:02, the 400 relay (senior Matt McNellis, sophomore James Johnson, freshman Richie

Decker, and Gall), and the 1600

relay. The Braves soundly defeated

Loveland, which also beat IH in the invitational, in a home meet

on April 16, 77 to 51. IH won

more than half of the events, in-

cluding all three relays. IH defeated three more AA

challengers-Kings, Madeira, and Deer Park-in a close meet on Ap- ril ll; again, Madeira went on to defeat IH at Mariemont, and Kings is an ideal invitational team,

consisting almost entirely of outstanding sprinters.

Squaws still in hunt for leaaue title n

by Brian Rowe

Behind the incredible perfor-

mance of senior pitcher Molly Roche, the varsity softball

Squaws evened their overall rec-

ord at 7-7 with a 17-3 win over

Deer Park on Tuesday. Roche earned her sixth win in

that game, and also batted 4-4 with several RBI to help her cause. "Molly has been hitting so

much better," commented coach

Robert Wessinger. "Her on-base percentage is up to .470." The

Squaws fielded flawlessly with no errors, and Roche had a no-hitter

through four innings. A day earlier IH could get no

breaks as they lost a tight extra- inning to Milford, 9-8. "We did-

n't play very well; we definitely

should have beaten Milford," explained Wessinger.

Seven fielding errors by the

Squaws kept Milford in the game in the early going, and Milford

tied the score in the sixth and a scoreless seventh resulted in an

extra inning. IH was held in check in the top of the eighth,

but Milford got a runner home to

win the game. On the previous Friday the

Squaws beat the same Deer Park team by a 4-1 count. "Jenny

Blank really came through for us that game," stated Wessinger.

"With two runners on base she

hit a pinch-hit triple to give us the victory." Another hitting

leader in that game was junior

Cadi Cucinotta, who has played solidly in almost all the Squaws'

games. Cucinotta belted a triple in that contest as well.

Tueday's Deer Park victory

v put IH m fifth place in the EHL with a 2-3 league record. "We are

really not out of the race yet," maintained Wessinger. "There are no undefeated teams and there are three teams just ahead of us at 3-2." The Squaws play five more

league games, and the league champ will most likely have at least two losses.

One interesting statistic this year for the Squaws is their rec-

ord against AA and AAA teams. They are 6-0 against their AA opponents but 1-5 against the AAA

teams. "We simply can't compete

with some of the bigger schools with girls that are bigger and

stronger than ours," said Wessin- ger. Clearly the Squaws are one

of the top AA teams in the area, and an EHL title is still possible.

depth; this was evidenced by the true highlight of the Mariemont

Invitational, the victory of the JV team, by ?4 point over New Rich- mond, in its first appearance. The

team was not "padded" at all, and in fact, several more underclassmen who ran varsity at Marie-

mont will run JV at Reading. Sophomore John Yeaga

earned nearly a third of the JV' points by winning the high jump,

fmishing second in the long jump, tying for fifth in the 300 hurdles, and leading the 1600 relay to third place.

Despite the frustration of invitational~, West has maintained

his positive attitude, perhaps especially because of the promise

shown by the underclassmen. "We're a young team," pointed out the Braves' coach, a differ-

ence after two years dominated

by juniors and especially seniors.

McVICKER, from p. 9 match, though, just a tourna-

ment," said McVicker. She will

not be suffering much from that affliction if she makes Wilming-

ton's team, though; "they play a tough schedule, a lot of top-20

teams. They get some really good

competition." The strength of Wilmington's

schedule is what led McVicker to pick UNC-Wilmington over small-

er Longwood, which offered a more lucrative scholarship and the chance to be the number one or

two golfer. "I figured if I want to go any-

where with my golfing I should play in an intense program. Longwood doesn't have the competition that Wilmington has; oth- erwise I would have taken their

scholarship ." She picked the harder road,

but one which she feels will have

greater rewards. "I'm excited about everything.

I'm really looking forward to it."

BISHOP, from p. 9

"Going into fall after having

played all summer, you're really

in a groove. You've got the feel. The problem is that most times

you've had a layoff-it's hard to

play in the winter, and you lose some touch. Right now, I might

be able to go out and shoot a 71 or 72 for 18 holes. But the

chances of my doing it would be much better a month from now after I'd been playing awhile."

Bishop then saw it was a bit

after 2:OO; "I gotta go now." He left to play a round of golf with his father-the first step on the road to JMU.

by Paul Monach After a long period of doubt,

it appears virtually certain that an

alternative schedule will be fol- lowed to allow seniors to avoid

final exams. The schedule is basically fin-

ished except for confirmation of

details and final approval, and cannot be released until this ap-

proval is granted. However, principal Dr. Karl Feltman gave some

indication of the nature of some of the activities in saying, "The year-end activities for seniors in

lieu of an exam scedule-to include academic presentations, community service, and fine arts- are nearing completion."

When completed and ap- proved, the schedule will be explained in detail to the seniors at

a class meeting. Feltman feels

this meeting will occur very soon, as he said, "Progress is being made

toward the completion of the

plan and final approval. We are confident that this will meet all

state requirements and will also

be educationally valuable and en-

joyable."

Feltman also noted, "Atten-

dance will be mandatory." He in- dicated, though, that this should

not be considered a threat, saying,

"We haven't had any problems in

the past, and we don't anticipate any problems in the future."

Feltman wished to recognize

the assistance he received from senior Student Government mem-

bers in creating a plan acceptable to all sides. Hugh Geier, Ellen Al-

vord, and Paul Monach conferred at length with Feltman and Mr. Tony Brueneman to work out a basic plan and suggest activities,

and Anna Batsakes and Laura Schwartz will organize currently - indefinite community service projects.

Said Feltman of the past success of the discussions and expect-

ed future approval, "We're co- operating, and we're approaching

a final plan."

McVicker's status uncertain at UNC by Kevin Walzer

Vera McVicker has a hard road ahead of her.

"I'm going to have to try out

for [the University of North Caro- lina at Wilmington's] golf team;

I'm not on it yet." That was the general miscon-

ception that circiulated when Mc- Vicker was invited to attend

UNC-Wilmington; most everyone mistakenly thought that she had

won a scholarship to the univer-

sity. Not so; McVicker won only an invitation to try out for the

team. If she makes it, then she

gets the scholarship.

And the tryout is not merely a formality, either. Four posi-

tions are currently open, but there are 1 1 players including Mc-

Vicker competing for those spots. Still, those who do not qualify

for one of the four spots don't face a total loss: "The people who don't make it just don't get the scholarships; they can still play on the home team." The home team is comparable to a JV

squad, and plays all home matches plus one tournament; the scholarship winners make the travelling squad, which plays a full home-

and-away "varsity" schedule.

McVicker is a bit apprehensive about such stiff competition for

the travelling team roster open- ings-"and four is a lot of open-

ings!"-but she feels that she will make the team.

"My average right now would

be in the mid-to-high 80s for 18 holes, and that's pretty good.

Most players eventually get down into the low 80s and some-the

photo by Tom Taylor Vera McVicker

very best-might even be in the

high 70s. But that's the very best."

McVicker is obviously not lacking in self-confidence; how-

ever, she says that her confidence

has played a great role in her high school career. "Really, the game

is all attitude. You have to be

confident if you want to do well."

And McVicker has done well, by any standard. Girls' golf is a relatively obscure high school sport in Southwest Ohio; at most schools, players of McVicker 's caliber are part of the boys' golf team.

"And that" what I wanted to do," laughed McVicker. "If the guys' scores are good, better than the girls'; it puts more pressure

on the girl to play well. And she plays better."

But in &ite of the fact that

McVicker did play in a sport with little serious local competi-

tion, she managed to dominate it

in a fashion that would have been difficult to top with any amount

of competition. Her 43-stroke average was eas-

ily tops in the city this past season, and her match-best 39 was.

Bishop to 'improve' JMU team by Kevin Walzer

"Hey, I gotta go at two," called John Bishop as he came

down the hall toward the Student

Service Center. "I have a golf

match with my dad." Then he

was reclined in a chair, and time

was ticking away, but he decided that the alleged 2:00 match

"could wait a little while."

Bishop can afford to wait a

little while; the senior will soon be immersed in golf in the months

to come in preparation for his first year on James Madison Uni-

versity's golf team. Bishop accepted a four-year, half-tuition schol-

arship to the Virginia school to

compete in golf.

His career was far from over, though, entering 1984. Bishop picked up right where he left off

this year in recording a 3 &stroke

average that helped IH to capture the league title. Although the Braves faltered in the post-season,

slipping to tenth in the state after

dominating the district match, it

didn't hurt Bishop; accolades kept pouring in.

In addition to receiving the

MVP aqd EHL Player of the Year awards for the second time, he won perhaps his greatest honor

when he was named AA Player

of the Year by the Cincinnati Post in December.

according to available informa- tion, unequaled by any other fe-

male player in Cincinnati.

This preeminence led McVick- er to be invited to the Junior

World Golf Tournament local competition last summer. The

tournament sponsors numerous

local meets around the country that lead up to state and national

levels of competition.

McVicker finished second in the Cincinnati round of the tournament, thus qualifying her for state competition. But up at state, said McVicker, "I blew it. I

just played awful." In doing so, she missed the cut for national competition.

But arguably, McVicker is still one of the best, if not the best, player in Ohio. This was exernpli- fied by her winning medalist hon-

ors in the Golf Coaches' State In- vitational tournament in the fall.

The invitational, which IH won, was organized to serve as a state tournament for girls' golf, which

gets no official sanctioning from the Ohio High school Athletic

Association. Thus, McVicker's medalist honors can be viewed as

a sort of individual state championship.

served Bishop, "was one of the best players in the conference.

He's a junior; next year he'll be

up there as a senior, and might even be able to go to the NCAA's."

Bishop is not the only prize recruit that James Madison has

landed this year; "a guy from Tennessee-I forget his name- is going to be my roommate, and he's supposed to be a great golfer. We could add a lot to the

team."

Toward that end, Bishop plans to play a lot of golf this summer-

"every day, if possible." That should prepare him fairly well for

the fall span of his first college

golf season (colleges play golf in the fall and spring), he feels.

"my [coaches] think I have the potential to do it. Playing profes- sionally is a goal I've had since I

started tennis when I was ten." Nabors has come a long way

since she was ten, recording some impressive successes on the tough

American junior circuit. In the 18and-under age group, she is

ranked 34th in singles and third in doubles.

"Keeping that up with school

is hard," said Nabors. "I haven't played a whole lot of tourna-

ments this year because I didn't

want to let my grades slip-North-

western is a tough school to get into."

As is, Nabors leaves every day

after fifth period to play tennis. Although she has cut back on her

tournament schedule this year,

she played enough with enough

success a year ago to earn her an invitation to try out for the

1984 Olympic team in tennis.

Nabors advanced to the second round of competition only to lose to the "fourth playa from Stanford." Stanford tra- ditionally dominates college ten-

nis in much the same way Moeller dominates Ohio football.

Nabors has competed solely on the jvnior circuit for the past three years. For those who wonder why she does not play

for Indian Hill, she did as a freshman. She had an outstanding

year by any standard, winning the state doubles title with 1983 graduate Angela Farley.

However, Nabors decided to leave the team after her freshman year. The reasons are personal,

she said; "I really don't want to say a whole lot about it.'' She added that the decision was not

made just out of a desire to de- vote time to her individual career, citing "a lot of factors I'd rather

not [elaborate on] ." The decision has not been a

bad one for Nabors, if the oppor- tunities opened to her by the

scholarship are any measure.

Nabors intends to cover all her bases, not just the tennis one.

lorn and trc perceptions

with Tom Taylor Certain facets of a man's life

control his eventual destiny and

his very essence. No other facet,

however, rivals the importance of that of time. Time is the univer-

sal key to the fate of every man

and everything in existence. It

brings the beginning and ending for all things outside of its own realm, yet has no beginning or

ending itself. Time, in its three forms that one may perceive it-

past, present, and future-frus-

trates man with unmatched omnipotence.

The realm of the past defies

any of man's attempts to relive

memories or events of an earlier life. This is perhaps the most

frustrating aspect of time. Once time has passed, the events it de-

termined cannot be altered, whe-

ther they be death, destruction, or the ending of an era. The basis of nostalgia lies in this concept;

one longs for persons or things which he simply cannot have. He may reminisce, but he can never truly regain the past. For example, the sixties are often "remem-

bered" in radio programs. The popularity of these programs resides not only in the quality of

the music; but in man's subcon- scious admission, or frustration,

that he cannot conquer the law of time and return to a popular de- cade. The greater frustration,

however, may involve more emo-

tional matters than simply the

passing of an era. Time brings death, which is as final as the

passing of time itself. The death of a loved one, for instance, makes evident the fact that the

"lock" of time cannot be opened.

Man has undoubtedly known for countless ages the greatest frustra-

tion of the past: what was, shall ever be. The past, however, is not

all of time; the past resides only a millisecond behind what might be

le wart tor no man One may argue that the present does not truly exist, but that it is a point of time in the past that transcends into the future. This

concept entraps man because he does not actually do anything for the present. Whatever actions he

performs have taken place in the past. One reads this article now, but the action has already passed.

This, once again, exemplifies the omnipotence of time. Entrapped

eternally in the present, man is

overcome by the fact that all his actions become his past and deter-

mine his future. The future confounds man by

leaving him in an ignorant bliss as

letter from SG

to what may lie ahead for him in life. No one knows what the next

second may bring; it may be un- eventful or the culmination of a life. This has long been a concern

of people, as evidenced by such items as the crystal ball to the

preponderance of questions in our

language such as: What happens

next? What should I do then? What will become of me? The

risk gamblers take is solely due to

not knowing what the future may bring; in a sense, we are all gamblers for living. Of the things

which the future may bring, however, death is perhaps the most

frightening. One usually does not

Fritz Berghavson. In this match Tucker displayed great tenacity.

Before this match, IH added

two 5-0 notches to their belt in

rolling over Mariemont and Ham- ilton Badin, after defeating

Sycamore in their biggest win to date.

The key to the Sycamore victory were McCurdy's and Tuck- er's wins over Anthony Yates and

Brent Rolli, respectively. Swisher was pleased with the

win, to put it mildly; his ecsta-

tic "Yeah boy!" shout at the end of the match attested to that fact.

With these wins, the Braves are 9-0 against local competition. They hope to extend this streak

against St. Xavier next week, and Swisher sees no reason why they

should not.

The Bombers crushed Indian

Hill, 5-0, in their only meeting

a year ago. However, coach Dave Swisher is expecting a

different outcome this year. "We haven't lost to a team

in Cincinnati yet-why should we lose to them?"

The Braves recently solidified their position as one of the top

teams in Cincinnati by capturing

two of the top three seeds in the Sycamore Inviational, to be played today.

Senior Brad McCurdy earned the number~ne seed in the sin-

gles competition after his 7 6 , 6-4 win over Justin Longren of

Walnut Hills, whom the Braves downed 4-1 in their most re-

cent match. Seeded second in the doubles

wood is very pleased with the progress his team is making-

which is to say, they are continu- ing to establish themselves as one

of the top AA teams in the city. This fact was shown by the

Squaws' fourth-place showing in the always-tough Reading Invita- tional last Saturday. IH, with 55

points, placed behind state A power CAPE and AA rivals Read-

ing and Finneytown.

Freshman Joy Rowe led the

Squaws with 20 points as she fin-

ished second in the 300 hurdles and long jump, and fourth in the

100 hurdles.

Rowe achieved a time of 5 3.0

seconds and leaped 14'8" for her two third-place finishes, respec-

tively; she ran the 100 hurdles in

17.7 seconds. Sophomore Molly Higgins was

not far behind Rowe with 18

points; she scored IH's only first- place finish with a leap of 4'10" in the high jump. She also fin-

ished second in the 400 dash, with a time of 66 seconds.

"I think it's important to em- phasize that Joy and Molly are

doing the best for us right now," said Garwood. "Joy competes in

four events, and she gets the most points." Rowe leads the team with 89% points; Higgins is sec-

ond with 73%.

Garwood also singled out senior Vera McVicker. Her best mo-

ments came in IH's preceding two

meets, a dual meet and a triangu-

lar. In IH's 92-32 win over Love-

land on April 16, McVicker fin-

ished second in the high jump.

disc review

American artists by Bmjy Cook

Recently, one of the most irn- prewive rcco~ding sessions in American rock n' roll history took plaa: the historic recording of We Are the World.

The singing group, consfsting of modem artists like Jeffrey Osborne. James Ingram, 13ruce Springrtsan. Huey Lewis & the

News, Cyndi Lauper, Billy Joel, Kim Carnes, Lindsey Bucking- Mm, Lionel Richie, and Steve Perry and even some oldies like Dionn6 Warlvick, Bette Midler, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Harry Belafonte, A1 Janeau, Smokey Robinson, and Ray Charles is known collectively as U.S.A. (Un- ited Support of Artists) for Africa.

The bingle they recorded has become the title track to a smash album featuring nine other pre- viously unreleased recordings. The proceeds from the album are sent to the aid of underdeveloped African countries, namely : Mozambique, Ghana, Ethiopia, Mauritania, Uganda, Somalia, Angola, Sudan, Niger, Chad, Burkina Faso, and Mali.

And has it worked? The al-

baar sold one million copies its first week out. The single, currently the number one song in the nation, is the fastest rising single in American history (se-

cond only to the Beatles' "Let It Be"). But is it really worth the money? The answer is a definite "YES!''

join in support Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, am Stevie Wonder, just to name a few.

It f d e s off with a rousing duet between Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen, then solos by James Ingram and Tmally Ray Charles. Aside from the singers, other big names were involved. The recording was conducted by Quincy Jones, while Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie wrote the song. The synthesizer programming and arrangements were done by David Paich and Steve Porcaro of Toto.

Next is "If Only for the Moment, Girle' by Steve Perry. For this new song, Perry goes totally out of character. Strange Stangely enough, this song is almost reminiscent of Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing."

It begins with light percussion with electric piano and a short but tasty sax solo. This background rhythm continues behind Perry's strong, yet sad and almost soulful vocals. His rightan-the button singing and pleading lyrics make this a sure hit.

The album's third song is the Pointer Sisters' "Just a Little Closer." Like the rest of their newer music, this song is mostly heavy synthesizer backed with a hard drum machine.

This song makes me wonder if the Pointers have any talent at all. If so, we sure don't see it here. If the rest of their synth-pop music appeals to you. however, maybe

of two live tracks on the album, a 1984 concert recording of Bruce Springsteen's rendition of Jimmy Cliff's 1972 hit, "Trapped." Un- like on the recording of 'We Are the Worlg," the Boss does some powerful yet precise singing on this song.

for Africa This song features a sax solo

by Clarence Clemens and some solid guitar playing by Nils Lof- gren. My main surprise at this song was that Bruce would choose to donate it to the U.S.A. for Af- rica album rather than put a studio version on one of his own al-

bums. It could sure become a big hit single.

Leading off the second side is the unification of Canada's biggest singing stars under the collec- tive name of Northern Lights. The gong they recorded, "Tears Are Not Enough," was co-written

-

Joel, Lauper, and Springsteen.

and produced by David Foster, who also plays keyboards on the recording. The lyrics were co- written by Jim Vallance and Ca- nadian rocket Bryan Adams.

It features solos by Gordon Lightfoot, Anne Murray, Jmi Mitchell, Mike Reno of Loverboy, Neil Young, Oscar Peterson, Car-

ey Hart, Bryan Adams, and even a surprise uplifting one-liner by Geddy Lee of Rush leading into the full chorus: 'We can breach the distance; only we can make the difference-don't you know that tears are not enough."

The song has a pleasant mel- ody aad is sung wholeheartedly and convincingly. Definitely an "A" for effort and outcome on this one.

Following "Tears Are Not Enough" is "4 the Tears in Your Eyes,'' the donation to the ahum by Prince & the Revolution. The lyrics of this song approach gos- pel, quite a change for Prince: "Long ago there was a man who turned stone to bread with the touch of his hand. . ."

The harmonies and chord pro- messions are very creative and - quite unorthodox, and Prince's sultry voice, along with Wendy and Lisa's background vocals make this "shortie-butgoodie" one of Prince's best studio perfor- mances to date.

Immediately after Prince comes a new Chicago track, U G ~ ~ d for Nothing," co-written by Chicago keyboardist Bobby Lamm, David Foster, and Richad

Marx. Lamm's good h g b g voice and talent on the synthesizer make this another high point on the album.

Backing his lead vocals are Pa ter Cetera's vocals and the

famous Chicago horn section of Lee Loughnane, Jimmy Pankow, and Walt Parazaider. ''Good for

Nothing" is a great example of the good, cleancut guitazlkey- boardlhorn music Chicago has been turning out for years.

Next is "Total Control," sung by Tina Turner. It is at this point on the album that I usually go up- stairs and grab a Twinkie. On this song, Tina's scratchy, raucous voice is even worse than normal, believe it or not.

Sometimes, Turner can be saved by a good song to cancel out her genuinely bad voice, but she gets no help whatsoever from "Total Control." But remember, it's the thought that counts.

The next song, Kenny Rogers' "A Little More Love," is a bit of an enigma to me. What place does Kenny Rogers have among rockers like Huey Lewis, Bruce Springsteen, and Prince? Good question, huh?

The only plausible answer I can come up with is the "A Little More Love" must have been in- cluded on the album in return for Rogers' efforts in organizing the album. The song is pure country, not what most people who buy this album are looking for.

The album's closer is another live track, Huey Lewis and the News' "Trouble in Paradise," recorded only two months ago in San Francisco. A studio version of this song appeared on the News' debut album, entitled Huey Lewis and the News. This is just good American rock 'n' roll.

Lewis' voice is just as good in concert as in the studio, and the same can be said for his band. This song is dominated by the solos of one of today's best sax players, Johnny Colla. Backed by Lewis' l~armonica and the Tower of Power horn section, the effect is perfect. This LP ends on a high note.

A final note: the trend start-

ed by Britain's Band-Aid has spread beyond U.S.A. for Africa and Northern Li i t s ; there have now been songs recorded for the same cause by groups of Latin artists and American singers; in the future it is rumored there will be group recordings by Australla's hottest stars, and the world's big- ged names in heavy metal.

April 26,1985 While the sum of the cubes of l3

through 1 9 8 5 ~ was a perfect square, the sum after each term

in the series is multiplied by S

is not a square, because in cubing S, one obtains a number which is

not a square.

Our sole remaining difficulty, therefore, is to find a number,

probably a power of S, which is

a perfect square (and thus will yield a perfect square when cubed in the second equation), and

which, when squared and multi-

plied by S (as it will be in the

first equation), gives a perfect cube. There are many possible

solutions (any power of S in the ,

series 4,10,16,22,28,34 ... works);

s4 is the lowest and therefore the simplest.

Thus, to answer the original question, solutions do exist. The lowest obtainable by this method can be expressed for the record

as:

where 1971 105 is the square root

of the sum of the cubes from 1 3

Fritz Berghavson. In this match Tucker displayed great tenacity.

Before this match, IH added

two 5-0 notches to their belt in

rolling over Mariemont and Ham- ilton Badin, after defeating

Sycamore in their biggest win to date.

The key to the Sycamore victory were McCurdy's and Tuck- er's wins over Anthony Yates and

Brent Rolli, respectively. Swisher was pleased with the

win, to put it mildly; his ecsta-

tic "Yeah boy!" shout at the end of the match attested to that fact.

With these wins, the Braves are 9-0 against local competition. They hope to extend this streak

should not.

The Bombers crushed Indian

The Braves recently solidified their position as one of the top

teams in Cincinnati by capturing

two of the top three seeds in the Sycamore Inviational, to be played today.

Senior Brad McCurdy earned the number~ne seed in the sin-

Walnut Hills, whom the Braves downed 4-1 in their most re-

Squaws' fourth-place showing in the always-tough Reading Invita- tional last Saturday. IH, with 55

points, placed behind state A power CAPE and AA rivals Read-

ing and Finneytown.

Freshman Joy Rowe led the

Squaws with 20 points as she fin-

100 hurdles.

Rowe achieved a time of 5 3.0

seconds and leaped 14'8" for her two third-place finishes, respec-

tively; she ran the 100 hurdles in

17.7 seconds. Sophomore Molly Higgins was

not far behind Rowe with 18

points; she scored IH's only first- place finish with a leap of 4'10" in the high jump. She also fin-

ished second in the 400 dash, with a time of 66 seconds.

"I think it's important to em- phasize that Joy and Molly are

doing the best for us right now," said Garwood. "Joy competes in

four events, and she gets the most points." Rowe leads the team with 89% points; Higgins is sec-

ond with 73%.

Garwood also singled out senior Vera McVicker. Her best mo-

lar. In IH's 92-32 win over Love-

As the JV Braves conclude a

team's performance could be characterized as fair at best in

relation to their potential. Nevertheless, the Braves main-

Bouncing back from a tough

defeat at the hands of Walnut Hills a day earlier, IH staved off a challenge from a tough St. Xav- ier squad to win 3-2.

IH's sole loss to date came

against Walnut Hills on Monday, 4-1. Granger continued a torrid winning streak by defeating

his opponent in three sets. Both doubles teams, despite

putting up a strong fight, could not overcome their dominating

opponents as both lost in three sets.

After splitting the first two

sets, 6-4, 3-6, Granger handled the pressure to post a 13-11 victory in the third set, to give him and the Braves the win.

"my [coaches] think I have the potential to do it. Playing profes- sionally is a goal I've had since I

started tennis when I was ten." Nabors has come a long way

since she was ten, recording some impressive successes on the tough

American junior circuit. In the 18and-under age group, she is

ranked 34th in singles and third in doubles.

"Keeping that up with school

is hard," said Nabors. "I haven't played a whole lot of tourna-

ments this year because I didn't

want to let my grades slip-North-

western is a tough school to get into."

As is, Nabors leaves every day

after fifth period to play tennis. Although she has cut back on her

tournament schedule this year,

she played enough with enough

success a year ago to earn her an invitation to try out for the

1984 Olympic team in tennis.

Nabors advanced to the second round of competition only to lose to the "fourth playa from Stanford." Stanford tra- ditionally dominates college ten-

nis in much the same way Moeller dominates Ohio football.

Nabors has competed solely on the jvnior circuit for the past three years. For those who wonder why she does not play

for Indian Hill, she did as a freshman. She had an outstanding

year by any standard, winning the state doubles title with 1983 graduate Angela Farley.

However, Nabors decided to leave the team after her freshman year. The reasons are personal,

she said; "I really don't want to say a whole lot about it.'' She added that the decision was not

made just out of a desire to de- vote time to her individual career, citing "a lot of factors I'd rather

not [elaborate on] ." The decision has not been a

bad one for Nabors, if the oppor- tunities opened to her by the

scholarship are any measure.

lorn and trc perceptions

with Tom Taylor Certain facets of a man's life

control his eventual destiny and

his very essence. No other facet,

however, rivals the importance of that of time. Time is the univer-

sal key to the fate of every man

and everything in existence. It

brings the beginning and ending for all things outside of its own realm, yet has no beginning or

ending itself. Time, in its three forms that one may perceive it-

past, present, and future-frus-

trates man with unmatched omnipotence.

The realm of the past defies

any of man's attempts to relive

memories or events of an earlier life. This is perhaps the most

frustrating aspect of time. Once time has passed, the events it de-

termined cannot be altered, whe-

ther they be death, destruction, or the ending of an era. The basis of nostalgia lies in this concept;

one longs for persons or things which he simply cannot have. He may reminisce, but he can never truly regain the past. For example, the sixties are often "remem-

bered" in radio programs. The popularity of these programs resides not only in the quality of

the music; but in man's subcon- scious admission, or frustration,

that he cannot conquer the law of time and return to a popular de- cade. The greater frustration,

however, may involve more emo-

tional matters than simply the

passing of an era. Time brings death, which is as final as the

passing of time itself. The death of a loved one, for instance, makes evident the fact that the

"lock" of time cannot be opened.

Man has undoubtedly known for countless ages the greatest frustra-

tion of the past: what was, shall ever be. The past, however, is not

all of time; the past resides only a millisecond behind what might be

le wart tor no man One may argue that the present does not truly exist, but that it is a point of time in the past that transcends into the future. This

concept entraps man because he does not actually do anything for the present. Whatever actions he

performs have taken place in the past. One reads this article now, but the action has already passed.

This, once again, exemplifies the omnipotence of time. Entrapped

eternally in the present, man is

overcome by the fact that all his actions become his past and deter-

mine his future. The future confounds man by

leaving him in an ignorant bliss as

to what may lie ahead for him in life. No one knows what the next

second may bring; it may be un- eventful or the culmination of a life. This has long been a concern

of people, as evidenced by such items as the crystal ball to the

preponderance of questions in our

language such as: What happens

next? What should I do then? What will become of me? The

risk gamblers take is solely due to

not knowing what the future may bring; in a sense, we are all gamblers for living. Of the things

which the future may bring, however, death is perhaps the most

frightening. One usually does not

Fantasy Prom to feature Sharp by Mr. Jim Benken and

Kenneth N. Jones

The junior class will sponsor

the Junior/Senior Prom at the

Carousel Inn in the Regency Ball- room, May 25. Admission for

the night will be $25.00 and will

feature the return of last year's

band, "Sharp." The theme for this year's

Prom is "Fantasy," a song by

Earth, Wind, and Fire. Junior

class president Amy Devine says,

"It gave us an idea of what to do

with our money, because we had tons of money left for decora-

tions. The band can play the song, too."

The band Sharp is a highlight of this year's Prom because they are about to go nationwide. They have signed a recording contract with CBS records and are present- ly working on songs for their al-

bum. Devine explained that the Re-

gency Ballroom was recently re-

decorated. "Most people are kind of down on the Carousel, but we

[vice-president Terri Wayne] went down and looked at it. We

have a separate building, separate

parking, and a great place for pictures."

A professional photographer

will be at Prom. Picture packages will range in cost from $5 to $25 and may be purchased at the dance. There will be no pre-sale,

so Devine advises bringing enough

money to cover the cost.

April 26,1985 CHIEFTAIN

McVicker's status uncertain at UNC by Kevin Walzer

Vera McVicker has a hard road ahead of her.

"I'm going to have to try out

for [the University of North Caro- lina at Wilmington's] golf team;

I'm not on it yet." That was the general miscon-

ception that circiulated when Mc- Vicker was invited to attend

UNC-Wilmington; most everyone mistakenly thought that she had

won a scholarship to the univer-

sity. Not so; McVicker won only an invitation to try out for the

team. If she makes it, then she

gets the scholarship.

And the tryout is not merely a formality, either. Four posi-

tions are currently open, but there are 1 1 players including Mc-

Vicker competing for those spots. Still, those who do not qualify

for one of the four spots don't face a total loss: "The people who don't make it just don't get the scholarships; they can still play on the home team." The home team is comparable to a JV

squad, and plays all home matches plus one tournament; the scholarship winners make the travelling squad, which plays a full home-

and-away "varsity" schedule.

McVicker is a bit apprehensive about such stiff competition for

the travelling team roster open- ings-"and four is a lot of open-

ings!"-but she feels that she will make the team.

"My average right now would

be in the mid-to-high 80s for 18 holes, and that's pretty good.

Most players eventually get down into the low 80s and some-the

photo by Tom Taylor Vera McVicker

very best-might even be in the

high 70s. But that's the very best."

McVicker is obviously not lacking in self-confidence; how-

ever, she says that her confidence

has played a great role in her high school career. "Really, the game

is all attitude. You have to be

confident if you want to do well."

And McVicker has done well, by any standard. Girls' golf is a relatively obscure high school sport in Southwest Ohio; at most schools, players of McVicker 's caliber are part of the boys' golf team.

"And that" what I wanted to do," laughed McVicker. "If the guys' scores are good, better than the girls'; it puts more pressure

on the girl to play well. And she plays better."

But in &ite of the fact that

McVicker did play in a sport with little serious local competi-

tion, she managed to dominate it

in a fashion that would have been difficult to top with any amount

of competition. Her 43-stroke average was eas-

ily tops in the city this past season, and her match-best 39 was.

Bishop to 'improve' JMU team by Kevin Walzer

"Hey, I gotta go at two," called John Bishop as he came

down the hall toward the Student

Service Center. "I have a golf

match with my dad." Then he

was reclined in a chair, and time

was ticking away, but he decided that the alleged 2:00 match

"could wait a little while."

Bishop can afford to wait a

little while; the senior will soon be immersed in golf in the months

to come in preparation for his first year on James Madison Uni-

versity's golf team. Bishop accepted a four-year, half-tuition schol-

arship to the Virginia school to

compete in golf.

His career was far from over, though, entering 1984. Bishop picked up right where he left off

this year in recording a 3 &stroke

average that helped IH to capture the league title. Although the Braves faltered in the post-season,

slipping to tenth in the state after

dominating the district match, it

didn't hurt Bishop; accolades kept pouring in.

In addition to receiving the

MVP aqd EHL Player of the Year awards for the second time, he won perhaps his greatest honor

when he was named AA Player

of the Year by the Cincinnati Post in December.

Then came the scholarship of-

a 76. I think I'm pretty capable of keeping that up as a freshman. If I can, I'm off to a good start."

In comparing a 76 to the best scores in college, Bishop noted

that it is not far from the top. "Players at the very best schools,

of honors and awards. In his junior year he caught fire in the second half of the season to lead the "Birdie Braves" from a shaky 3-6 start to a runner-up showing in the AA state tournament; his play earned him team MVP, EHL Player of the Year, and first-team allcity commendations.

a few others, when the AA Player of the Year award came; commented Bishop at the time, "I was

pleased I got [the Post award], but not real surprised. I felt I had been playing real well."

"Well, last year I had around a John Bishop

according to available informa- tion, unequaled by any other fe-

male player in Cincinnati.

This preeminence led McVick- er to be invited to the Junior

World Golf Tournament local competition last summer. The

tournament sponsors numerous

local meets around the country that lead up to state and national

levels of competition.

McVicker finished second in the Cincinnati round of the tournament, thus qualifying her for state competition. But up at state, said McVicker, "I blew it. I

just played awful." In doing so, she missed the cut for national competition.

But arguably, McVicker is still one of the best, if not the best, player in Ohio. This was exernpli- fied by her winning medalist hon-

ors in the Golf Coaches' State In- vitational tournament in the fall.

The invitational, which IH won, was organized to serve as a state tournament for girls' golf, which

gets no official sanctioning from the Ohio High school Athletic

Association. Thus, McVicker's medalist honors can be viewed as

a sort of individual state championship.

very competitive team at James

Madison; a division I school, JMU consistently places highly in its

league, the East Coast Athletic

Conference South (ECAC South). One individual JMU player, ob-

served Bishop, "was one of the best players in the conference.

He's a junior; next year he'll be

up there as a senior, and might even be able to go to the NCAA's."

Bishop is not the only prize recruit that James Madison has

landed this year; "a guy from Tennessee-I forget his name- is going to be my roommate, and he's supposed to be a great golfer. We could add a lot to the

team."

Toward that end, Bishop plans to play a lot of golf this summer-

"every day, if possible." That should prepare him fairly well for

the fall span of his first college

golf season (colleges play golf in the fall and spring), he feels.

CHIEFTFIN

bv Paul Monach Invitational, held Iast Friday, in 19'3", probably the season's top

Having completed qualifying

for tonight's finals of the Reading

Invitational, the boys' track team will go head-to-head with many of the other AA schools in the area.

Head coach Mr. Robert West was unsure of the Braves' eventual fin-

ish in the mammoth meet, saying, "Reading's a big field; it's hard to my."

West did indicate, however, that IH would likely suffer from

the "invitational syndrome" that has already struck once this year. Explained West, "A lot of teams we would beat one-on-one will score higher in an invitational b e cause of an individual or two."

The Braves are adequate or good

in most events but outstanding in none; a couple of first-place fm- ishes go a long way in an invitational.

This "syndrome" was perfect-

Iv demonstrated in the Mariemont

which IH fMshed tenth of eleven

teams. The Braves, collecting only 20 points, were nevertheless

five points away from fifth. Sophomore Tony Hoffman scored eight of those points by fmishing

second in the pole vault, at a

height of 10'0", to lead the team. Junior Keary Dunn placed

fourth in the long jump with a

leap of 18'11", and also was a member of the fourth-place 1600 relay team (also including senior

Brian More, Junior Kevin Viox, and sophomore David Miller),

achieving a season-best time of 3:47.

True to form, IH returned to

the Mariemont track three days later to defeat two teams that had

outscored the Braves in the invitational. IH, with 73 points, had

little trouble downing Felicity, with 50, and Mariemont, with 32.

Dunn w9n the long jump in

paformance in any event, and

moved into the team lead in points, with 37. Other winners

were freshman Charlie Gall in the 200 in 25.2, senior Paul Monach

in the mile in 5:02, the 400 relay (senior Matt McNellis, sophomore James Johnson, freshman Richie

Decker, and Gall), and the 1600

relay. The Braves soundly defeated

Loveland, which also beat IH in the invitational, in a home meet

on April 16, 77 to 51. IH won

more than half of the events, in-

cluding all three relays. IH defeated three more AA

challengers-Kings, Madeira, and Deer Park-in a close meet on Ap- ril ll; again, Madeira went on to defeat IH at Mariemont, and Kings is an ideal invitational team,

consisting almost entirely of outstanding sprinters.

1f IH has nothing else it has

Squaws still in hunt for leaaue title n

by Brian Rowe

Behind the incredible perfor-

mance of senior pitcher Molly Roche, the varsity softball

Squaws evened their overall rec-

ord at 7-7 with a 17-3 win over

Deer Park on Tuesday. Roche earned her sixth win in

that game, and also batted 4-4 with several RBI to help her cause. "Molly has been hitting so

much better," commented coach

Robert Wessinger. "Her on-base percentage is up to .470." The

Squaws fielded flawlessly with no errors, and Roche had a no-hitter

through four innings. A day earlier IH could get no

breaks as they lost a tight extra- inning to Milford, 9-8. "We did-

n't play very well; we definitely

should have beaten Milford," explained Wessinger.

Seven fielding errors by the

Squaws kept Milford in the game in the early going, and Milford

tied the score in the sixth and a scoreless seventh resulted in an

extra inning. IH was held in check in the top of the eighth,

but Milford got a runner home to

win the game. On the previous Friday the

Squaws beat the same Deer Park team by a 4-1 count. "Jenny

Blank really came through for us that game," stated Wessinger.

"With two runners on base she

hit a pinch-hit triple to give us the victory." Another hitting

leader in that game was junior

Cadi Cucinotta, who has played solidly in almost all the Squaws'

games. Cucinotta belted a triple in that contest as well.

Tueday's Deer Park victory

v put IH m fifth place in the EHL with a 2-3 league record. "We are

really not out of the race yet," maintained Wessinger. "There are no undefeated teams and there are three teams just ahead of us at 3-2." The Squaws play five more

league games, and the league champ will most likely have at least two losses.

One interesting statistic this year for the Squaws is their rec-

ord against AA and AAA teams. They are 6-0 against their AA opponents but 1-5 against the AAA

teams. "We simply can't compete

with some of the bigger schools with girls that are bigger and

stronger than ours," said Wessin- ger. Clearly the Squaws are one

of the top AA teams in the area, and an EHL title is still possible.

depth; this was evidenced by the true highlight of the Mariemont

Invitational, the victory of the JV team, by ?4 point over New Rich- mond, in its first appearance. The

team was not "padded" at all, and in fact, several more underclassmen who ran varsity at Marie-

mont will run JV at Reading. Sophomore John Yeaga

earned nearly a third of the JV' points by winning the high jump,

fmishing second in the long jump, tying for fifth in the 300 hurdles, and leading the 1600 relay to third place.

Despite the frustration of invitational~, West has maintained

his positive attitude, perhaps especially because of the promise

shown by the underclassmen. "We're a young team," pointed out the Braves' coach, a differ-

ence after two years dominated

by juniors and especially seniors.

McVICKER, from p. 9 match, though, just a tourna-

ment," said McVicker. She will

not be suffering much from that affliction if she makes Wilming-

ton's team, though; "they play a tough schedule, a lot of top-20

teams. They get some really good

competition." The strength of Wilmington's

schedule is what led McVicker to pick UNC-Wilmington over small-

er Longwood, which offered a more lucrative scholarship and the chance to be the number one or

two golfer. "I figured if I want to go any-

where with my golfing I should play in an intense program. Longwood doesn't have the competition that Wilmington has; oth- erwise I would have taken their

scholarship ." She picked the harder road,

but one which she feels will have

greater rewards. "I'm excited about everything.

I'm really looking forward to it."

BISHOP, from p. 9

"Going into fall after having

played all summer, you're really

in a groove. You've got the feel. The problem is that most times

you've had a layoff-it's hard to

play in the winter, and you lose some touch. Right now, I might

be able to go out and shoot a 71 or 72 for 18 holes. But the

chances of my doing it would be much better a month from now after I'd been playing awhile."

Bishop then saw it was a bit

after 2:OO; "I gotta go now." He left to play a round of golf with his father-the first step on the road to JMU.

is so affectionate that he scares people. An oddity which isolates

Dowd even more is that his best friend is an imaginary six-foot-tall

is Harvey so imaginary ? Becuase of Dowd's strange be-

by Paul Monach After a long period of doubt,

it appears virtually certain that an

alternative schedule will be fol- lowed to allow seniors to avoid

final exams. The schedule is basically fin-

ished except for confirmation of

details and final approval, and cannot be released until this ap-

proval is granted. However, principal Dr. Karl Feltman gave some

indication of the nature of some of the activities in saying, "The year-end activities for seniors in

lieu of an exam scedule-to include academic presentations, community service, and fine arts- are nearing completion."

When completed and ap- proved, the schedule will be explained in detail to the seniors at

a class meeting. Feltman feels

this meeting will occur very soon, as he said, "Progress is being made

toward the completion of the

plan and final approval. We are confident that this will meet all

state requirements and will also

be educationally valuable and en-

joyable."

Feltman also noted, "Atten-

dance will be mandatory." He in- dicated, though, that this should

not be considered a threat, saying,

"We haven't had any problems in

the past, and we don't anticipate any problems in the future."

Feltman wished to recognize

the assistance he received from senior Student Government mem-

bers in creating a plan acceptable to all sides. Hugh Geier, Ellen Al-

vord, and Paul Monach conferred at length with Feltman and Mr. Tony Brueneman to work out a basic plan and suggest activities,

and Anna Batsakes and Laura Schwartz will organize currently - indefinite community service projects.

Said Feltman of the past success of the discussions and expect-

ed future approval, "We're co- operating, and we're approaching

a final plan."
