Netters aiming
by Ellen Alvord
The varsity tennis team
opened its season Tuesday with a
5-0 win over Madeira. Madeira
managed to win only seven games
out of all five matches.
Despite the loss of three seni-
ors, all of whom played in the
state tournament last year, Indian
Hill should again have a very suc-
cessful team according to Karen
McCurdy. "Even though we have
a young team, we have a lot of
strength, and we should do well
this year," $he said.
Coach Cindy Crilley agrees,
"We should do well in the city.
We have a good, strong team led

by Joel Ruff
The high school has added
nine new members to its faculty
and has transferred another from
a different department. The rna-
jority of these have taught and
still teach at other district
schools, but three of the new fa-
culty are entirely new to the Indi-
an Hill school system.
Replacing Miss Eloise Balz in
the library is Media Specialist Mrs.
Enid Redman. She previously
worked north of Cincinnati in the
Fairfield City School District.
Redman completed her under-
graduate and graduate work
across the river at the University
of Kentucky and she holds a BA
and a Master of Library Science
degree from UK. She described
the IH Media Center facilities as
"very nice."

Five of these six routines were
performed at the St. Louis camp,
where the IH squad won first
place in AA, receiving over $00
points out of a possible 1000 to
earn an invitation to the midwest
finals.
For each day of the fourday
camp, beginning this year on July
29, each squad brings in a pre-
pared routine. In addition, each
squad is taught two new routines

a Masters degree in General Sci-
ence. When she's not teaching
one of her Chemistry or Chem
Study classes, she enjoys camping
and canoeing.
The math department has

b y Bob Rhoad
To the average upperclassman,
Mrs. Meredith Loughran must
seem a bit crazy. Or at least she
must have drawn the short straw,
because almost all the students
she teaches have one glaring trait
in common.
They are all freshmen.
This seemingly thankless situa-
tion actually is one for which to
be thankful. After hearing Mrs.
Loughran's point of view, it
becomes apparent that there are
positive aspects to being a teacher
of so many freshmen.
This summer, Mrs. Loughran
spent her time as any normal
parent should, "painting, doing
needlework, and getting Kate
ready for kindergarten." Kate, an
outgoing five-and-a-half-year-old
who pretends to be bashful, is
very involved with playing school,
eating potato chips, and all other
basic forms of innocent mischief
which keeps her mother on her
taes,
In the summertime, Mrs.
Loughran is rarely found idle.
Besides spending time with Kate,
she says, "I always do a lot of
craft type activities." Included
among those activities is needle-
work, a pastime that "is a way to
relieve my stress." bn fact,
Loughran is such a furn believer
in needlework that shs became

(Bill jokingly surmised from this

But don't let Bill's busy sum-

fool you. Bill is extremely busy

demic year as well. Although his

exhausting profession. You need when I don't find it pleasurable,
some time for things that are

As a teacher, Loughran con-
fesses her enjoyment in teaching
juniors. This became evident last
year as she was the teacher of the
first-place History team in the
state last year. But when it gets
right down to it, what is it that
she likes so much about freshmen
in particular?
"Freshmen are more my size,"
Loughran reveals. "Freshmen are
still eager .LOtry new things. I like
the enthusiasm of that age group
and the subject matter."
To many freshmen Mrs.
Loughran is both a teacher and a
friend. At a time when even the
surest ninth-grader can become
confused and bewildered, she
helps to advise and guide them in
the right direction. Her best
words of wisdom for freshmen are
to "get involved in lots of other
things besides school work. You
can learn as much outside the
classroom as you can in class. I
believe in the old statement, MIS. Loughran smiles after a long day of teaching freshmen.
Bill is also a Student Government
class representative and a third
year Peer Counselor. Bill says of
Peer Counseling, "It's a good pro-
gram. It makes it easier to talk to
people."
Concerning Indian Hill High
School, Bill has "no complaints."
He sees the learning experience of
high school in general as going
beyond just the academic. Bill
also feels students should "be in-
volved, keep busy, and try new
things. You can always hmdle
homework." Bill in fact gets
better grades when he is partici-
pating in a sport. "It's a bummer
if you do nothing."
Looking toward the future,
Bill hopes to be able to do some

As for Bill's philosophy on
life: "Keep up your self-confi-

going to do things, do them right.
You have to work for good things
if you want them." Judging from
Bill's record, he seems destined

US should be careful in Third World
by Kevin Walzer
There's a little monkey on all
of our backs. His name is Viet-
nam. Pretty soon we may have
another one. If all goes according
to plan, if President Reagan fouls
up again, we may very well have
Vietnam's son, Central America,
on our backs.
Currently President Reagan
has spoken very favorably about
getting- the Vietnam monkey off
-
of our backs by getting into war
in Central America. Not by his
words. By his actions, which ring
louder and truer than all the rhet-
oric on earth.
Consider: it was recently
revealed that the Administration,
over the next few months, will be
instigating gestures to the Nicar-
aguans by flexing a little red,
white, and blue muscle. Consi-
der: 19 American warships will
be maneuvering off both Nicar-
aguan coasts. Consider: between
3,000 and 4,000 troops will be
maneuvering in Honduras, the eye
of the storm, between El Salvador
and Nicaragua. Consider: talk of
expanding the current 55 man-
ceiling on advisors in Honduras to
125.
Explains Time, "Ronald
Reagan has succeeded in getting
the public excited about his Cen-
tral American policy, but in a
manner opposite to any that he
ever intended." In short, his poli-
cy is being questioned, attacked
and rejected soundly.
According to the magazine,
these acts, as examples of his
policy, have been roundly at-
tacked as being hasty, unpositive
gestures, by congressmen and the
public. For example, the House
of Representatives recently voted
to cut off aid t o Nicaragua for
1984. Although the Senate is ex-
pected to vote in the other direc-
tion, continued escalation of fis-
cal aid to the region is doubtful.
The magazine further con-
tends that "a series of ill revela-
tions" concerning the aforemen-
tioned military gestures in Central
America have turned off the pub-
lic and Congress. These acts are
little more than cosmetic gestures,
according t o many.
Says Congresswoman Lynn
Martin: "I'm a conservative who's
been with the Administration all
the way." But Vietnam is a les-
son that she used in voting against
the continuation of aid to the
CHIEFTAIN
region
Yet not all are against the in-
volvement. Many, mainly in the
Administration, are all for it,
Reagan is. William Clark, Nation-
al Security Adviser, is. Secretary
of State George Shultz is.
But it is this division of opin-
ion that causes a foggy, undefined
approach to the policy. This lack
of official direction; not going
forward but forward and back-
ward and nowhere in a political
tug of war, fuels public opposi-
tion to involvement.
The CIA is training guerillas in
Nicaragua. They want to step up
current levels of economic aid to
the region to overthrow the San-
danistas. Yet Congress criticizes
their covert activities and vetoes
escalation.
The Nicaraguans are receiving
arms from Soviet bloc countries,
which alarms US advisers. They
fear the Sandanistas will use these
arms to launch invasions of Hon-
duras and Costa Rica, where
exiles direct guerilla operations
against them.
Yet the Sandanistas say that
this is just f o ~defense, chgrging
that U.S. involvement is just a
"pretext to invasion" of Nicara-
Pa.
Differing opinions like this
also cloud the issue. No one real-
ly knows what is going on.
The battle in El Salvador has
been for America, as Time put it,
"an exercise in frustration."
Apathetic Salvadoran txoops and
officers don't seem to know what
to do to beat the guerillas. Ac-
cording to advisers quoted in
Time, "the way is to pursue them
through the country side." Says
one U.S. adviser "You have to put
troops out to keep them from
operating." "The officer cows is
bewildered," says another expert.
"There are so many things wrong,
you don't know where to start to
fur them."
But the biggest problem is
convincing the soldiers that there
is a deadly battle occurring. Says
one analyst "They have to get
over that living for tomorrow atti-
tude. There is no more time for
that."
In Nicaragua, there is little
that is different. States the maga-
zine, "there are few signs yet that
resentment against the Sandanis-
tas has reached anything like a
critical stage." In short, support
for the CIA-backed guerillas has
not exactly reached fever pitch.
The clan is getting no backing
from Nicaraguan and "the
chances of (rebel) success in the
future will depend on the level of
popular dissatisfaction in Nicara-
gua," said the magazine.
That fits in with another

Modulators more sophisticated on 'No Slave'

the release of No Slaves to Fash-

the transition from "local-party-

teacher feature
Loughran
- advises her little freshman friends
b y Bob Rhoad
To the average upperclassman,
Mrs. Meredith Loughran must
seem a bit crazy. Or at least she
must have drawn the short straw,
because almost all the students
she teaches have one glaring trait
in common.
They are all freshmen.
This seemingly thankless situa-
tion actually is one for which to
be thankful. After hearing Mrs.
Loughran's point of view, it
becomes apparent that there are
positive aspects to being a teacher
of so many freshmen.
This summer, Mrs. Loughran
spent her time as any normal
parent should, "painting, doing
needlework, and getting Kate
ready for kindergarten." Kate, an
outgoing five-and-a-half-year-old
who pretends to be bashful, is
very involved with playing school,
eating potato chips, and all other
basic forms of innocent mischief
which keeps her mother on her
taes,
In the summertime, Mrs.
Loughran is rarely found idle.
Besides spending time with Kate,
she says, "I always do a lot of
craft type activities." Included
among those activities is needle-
work, a pastime that "is a way to
relieve my stress." bn fact,
Loughran is such a furn believer
in needlework that shs became
the co-founder-of the Needlework
and Crafts Club centered right
here atJndian Hill.
BILL, from p. 5
find time to play poker or bas-
ketball with the boys, go swim-
ming, and go out on dates, for
example, to see Risky Business.
(Bill jokingly surmised from this
fdm, "I think I missed something
when we didn't go on the trains in
Chicago.")
But don't let Bill's busy sum-
mer and his notion of settling
down and taking it easy in school
fool you. Bill is extremely busy
and hardworking during the aca-
demic year as well. Although his
schedule is "usually cramped," he
"always has time .o finish." Des-
pite all this hard work and busi-
ness, Bill maintains his character-
istic easy-going attitude and finds
time to kick back and "have fun."
Bill's most timeconsuming
non-academic activities are soccer
and basketball, both of which he
has played since freshman year.

Along with needlework, a
recently purchased condominium

time even more stress-relieving. I:
allows her family to spend some future, Loughran muses, "This is
time away from home where they my fourteenth year. Right now I
can relax.
"Teaching is a good profes- best of both worlds. Being a
sion," she explains. ''r need the mother and a teacher is what I
summertime to recharge; to get love. In the future I see myself
ready for the next year. It is an being a teacher. If a time comes
exhausting profession. You need when I don't find it pleasurable,
some time for things that are
totally new."
As a teacher, Loughran con-
fesses her enjoyment in teaching
juniors. This became evident last
year as she was the teacher of the
first-place History team in the
state last year. But when it gets
right down to it, what is it that
she likes so much about freshmen
in particular?
"Freshmen are more my size,"
Loughran reveals. "Freshmen are
still eager .LOtry new things. I like
the enthusiasm of that age group
and the subject matter."
To many freshmen Mrs.
Loughran is both a teacher and a
friend. At a time when even the
surest ninth-grader can become
confused and bewildered, she
helps to advise and guide them in
the right direction. Her best
words of wisdom for freshmen are
to "get involved in lots of other
things besides school work. You
can learn as much outside the
classroom as you can in class. I
believe in the old statement, MIS. Loughran smiles after a long day of teaching freshmen.
Bill is also a Student Government
class representative and a third
year Peer Counselor. Bill says of
Peer Counseling, "It's a good pro-
gram. It makes it easier to talk to
people."
Concerning Indian Hill High
School, Bill has "no complaints."
He sees the learning experience of
high school in general as going
beyond just the academic. Bill
also feels students should "be in-
volved, keep busy, and try new
things. You can always hmdle
homework." Bill in fact gets
better grades when he is partici-
pating in a sport. "It's a bummer
if you do nothing."
Looking toward the future,
Bill hopes to be able to do some

As for Bill's philosophy on

going to do things, do them right.
You have to work for good things
if you want them." Judging from

US should be careful in Third World
by Kevin Walzer
There's a little monkey on all
of our backs. His name is Viet-
nam. Pretty soon we may have
another one. If all goes according
to plan, if President Reagan fouls
up again, we may very well have
Vietnam's son, Central America,
on our backs.
Currently President Reagan
has spoken very favorably about
getting- the Vietnam monkey off
-
of our backs by getting into war
in Central America. Not by his
words. By his actions, which ring
louder and truer than all the rhet-
oric on earth.
Consider: it was recently
revealed that the Administration,
over the next few months, will be
instigating gestures to the Nicar-
aguans by flexing a little red,
white, and blue muscle. Consi-
der: 19 American warships will
be maneuvering off both Nicar-
aguan coasts. Consider: between
3,000 and 4,000 troops will be
maneuvering in Honduras, the eye
of the storm, between El Salvador
and Nicaragua. Consider: talk of
expanding the current 55 man-
ceiling on advisors in Honduras to
125.
Explains Time, "Ronald
Reagan has succeeded in getting
the public excited about his Cen-
tral American policy, but in a
manner opposite to any that he
ever intended." In short, his poli-
cy is being questioned, attacked
and rejected soundly.
According to the magazine,
these acts, as examples of his
policy, have been roundly at-
tacked as being hasty, unpositive
gestures, by congressmen and the
public. For example, the House
of Representatives recently voted
to cut off aid t o Nicaragua for
1984. Although the Senate is ex-
pected to vote in the other direc-
tion, continued escalation of fis-
cal aid to the region is doubtful.
The magazine further con-
tends that "a series of ill revela-
tions" concerning the aforemen-
tioned military gestures in Central
America have turned off the pub-
lic and Congress. These acts are
little more than cosmetic gestures,
according t o many.
Says Congresswoman Lynn
Martin: "I'm a conservative who's
been with the Administration all
the way." But Vietnam is a les-
son that she used in voting against
the continuation of aid to the
CHIEFTAIN
region
Yet not all are against the in-
volvement. Many, mainly in the
Administration, are all for it,
Reagan is. William Clark, Nation-
al Security Adviser, is. Secretary
of State George Shultz is.
But it is this division of opin-
ion that causes a foggy, undefined
approach to the policy. This lack
of official direction; not going
forward but forward and back-
ward and nowhere in a political
tug of war, fuels public opposi-
tion to involvement.
The CIA is training guerillas in
Nicaragua. They want to step up
current levels of economic aid to
the region to overthrow the San-
danistas. Yet Congress criticizes
their covert activities and vetoes
escalation.
The Nicaraguans are receiving
arms from Soviet bloc countries,
which alarms US advisers. They
fear the Sandanistas will use these
arms to launch invasions of Hon-
duras and Costa Rica, where
exiles direct guerilla operations
against them.
Yet the Sandanistas say that
this is just f o ~defense, chgrging
that U.S. involvement is just a
"pretext to invasion" of Nicara-
Pa.
Differing opinions like this
also cloud the issue. No one real-
ly knows what is going on.
The battle in El Salvador has
been for America, as Time put it,
"an exercise in frustration."
Apathetic Salvadoran txoops and
officers don't seem to know what
to do to beat the guerillas. Ac-
cording to advisers quoted in
Time, "the way is to pursue them
through the country side." Says
one U.S. adviser "You have to put
troops out to keep them from
operating." "The officer cows is
bewildered," says another expert.
"There are so many things wrong,
you don't know where to start to
fur them."
But the biggest problem is
convincing the soldiers that there
is a deadly battle occurring. Says
one analyst "They have to get
over that living for tomorrow atti-
tude. There is no more time for
that."
In Nicaragua, there is little
that is different. States the maga-
zine, "there are few signs yet that
resentment against the Sandanis-
tas has reached anything like a
critical stage." In short, support
for the CIA-backed guerillas has
not exactly reached fever pitch.
The clan is getting no backing
from Nicaraguan and "the
chances of (rebel) success in the
future will depend on the level of
popular dissatisfaction in Nicara-
gua," said the magazine.
