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 invita-
tional.
This "syndrome" was perfect-

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," ex-
plained Wessinger.
JV softballers improve after earlyand t losses
by Tiffany Meyer
The JV softball Squaws will
play their next game against Syc-
amore on Monday, going in with
added confidence from their re-
cent winning streak. IH captured
three of their last four games to
improve their record to 3-6.
The Squaws defeated Finney-
town, 5-3, last Tuesday. The girls
showed strong defense with their
ability to rack up a consecutive
number of outs. Sophomore Mi-
chelle Bokon delivered an impres-
sive three-run homer to put the
lid on the victory for the Squaws.
CHIEFTFIN
Invitational, held Iast Friday, in
which IH fMshed tenth of eleven
teams. The Braves, collecting on-
ly 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 invita-
tional. IH, with 73 points, had
little trouble downing Felicity,
with 50, and Mariemont, with 32.
Dunn w9n the long jump in
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.

The girls met with a depressing
loss to Milford last Monday, fin-
ishing the game with an 11-0 de-
feat.
On the nineteenth, the Squaws
played an outstanding game
against Deer Park, pulling through
with a 12-9 win.
However, the Squaws' most re-
markable win this season occurred
on the eighteenth, when the
team outdueled their Turpin op-
ponents, 20-11. Sophomore Jen-
ny Purcell hit two home runs.
The girls travelled to Ursuline
on Wednesday the seventeenth,
19'3", probably the season's top
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 out-
standing sprinters.
1f IH has nothing else it has
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 op-
ponents 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.
run, but they were unable to
maintain the lead and eventually
were defeated, 20-10.
The girls played Mt. Healthy
and Sycamore on the twelfth and
sixteenth, respectively. The Lady
Braves suffered depressing, but
hard-fought, defeats, 10-2 and
12-1.
However, the girls played a
closer game against Norwood on
April 10. IH slammed in 12 runs,
but it wasn't quite enough to cap-
ture the win, as they lost, 15-12.
depth; this was evidenced by the
true highlight of the Mariemont
Invitational, the victory of the JV
team, by ?4point over New Rich-
mond, in its first appearance. The
team was not "padded" at all, and
in fact, several more underclass-
men 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 in-
vitational~, West has maintained
his positive attitude, perhaps es-
pecially 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.

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 com-
petition 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.

Varsity basketball coach Dale
McKibben stated that he was
"shocked" when told that parent-
al grievances were the primary
reason for the non-renewal of his
supplemental contract. McKib-
ben will not be returning next
year in a coaching capacity.
Officially, the Board of Edu-
cation has yet to take action on
the matter. According to Board
President Mrs. Jean Pappas, all
coaching contracts were non-re-
newed at the most recent Board
meeting, with the intention of
making later final decisions in
each case based on recomrnenda-
tions from the athletic director
and building principal. However,
athletic director Miss car01 Weh-
mann has confirmed that McKib-
ben will not coach next year.
"All I will say at the present
time is that yes, there is a vacan-
cy at the boys' varsity basketball
position for next year, along with
several other [coaching] posi-
tions."

When questioned further,
Wehmann said she had no further
comment; neither did principal
Dr. Karl Feltman. The school dis-
trict views personnel matters as

quired to discuss them.
The decision not to renew Mc-
Kibben's coaching contract stems
primarily from concerns voiced at
a meeting of community parents,
attended by Feltman and Weh-
mann, held March 25 at the Indi-
an Hill Church. The parents
called the meeting to air a basic
grievance: concerns over whether
players in the basketball program
were deriving positive benefits
from it.
After the meeting, Wehmann
and Feltman made their recom-
mendation to the Board. How-
ever, Pappas said, "At this point
all supplemental contracts have
been non-renewed, and will be de-
cided on later. I don't understand
why he was singled out."

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, prin-
cipal 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 in-
clude academic presentations,
community service, and fine arts-
are nearing completion."
When completed and ap-
proved, the schedule will be ex-
plained in detail to the seniors at
a class meeting. Feltman feels
this meeting will occur very soon,
as he said, "Progress is being made

plan and final approval. We are

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
t o 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,

It is fitting that Lynn Nabors,

Nabors received a full-four

able stature on the national jun-

where. .. "I think the two times
we went to state [in 1981 and
19821 have to be up there," said
Wiatt. In those years IH had a
"really dominating team; we had
Lisa More and Kris Brockmann
and Mary Howe."
As well, there are the prestig-
ious personal awards Wiatt has
won during her tenure at IH. She
has been named to the Southwest
Ohio Field Hockey League all-star
team all four years of high school;
in addition, she has been a three-
time offensive MVP for the
Squaws, who have won the past
four league titles.
"Field hockey is a pretty
tough sport to master, working
NU
and win some matches-I'd like to
improve enough to maybe try a
pro career after I graduate."
That may be a lofty aspira-
tion, but according to Nabors,
"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.
with the stick and the ball; it
takes a lot of eye-hand coordina-
tion." Thus, to have improved
enough to make the all-league
team as a freshman is fairly un-
usual,
AmyWiatt . and is all that one tryly knows.
April 26,1985
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 fresh-
man. She had an outstanding
year by any standard, winning the
state doubles title with 1983grad-
uate Angela Farley.
However, Nabors decided t o
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 ad-
ded 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.
"I intend to get my degree
so I'll have that to fall back on."
But then again, so is field
hockey player Amy Wiatt. It's
not usual for a high school ath-
lete to win a scholarship to a ma-
jor university; she has, however,
done it.

lorn and trcle wart tor no man
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 omni-
potence.
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 exam-
ple, the sixties are often "remem-
bered" in radio programs. The
popularity of these programs re-
sides 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
labeled as "now."
The present is the state of
existence that surrounds us all
CHIEFTAIN
r
I *,
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

Stew parties but stays on top
by Brian Rowe
Almost two years ago Dave
Steward came to IH from Carmel,
Indiana, leaving "No broken
hearts; only broken glasses."
Dave had several insightful
comments comparing Carmel
High School and IH. "At Carmel
you could get away with a lot
more as far as beer goggle material
is concerned. I also got to have
my mom as a teacher." Dave was
only caught sleeping once in his
mother's chemistry class, so it
must have been a pretty interest-
ing class by his standards.
Dave is known around the
Academy as a laid back senior
who somehow manages to break
the curve on most tests he takes.
Academically and socially, Stew is
near the top of his class. The
words to live by to acheive this
equilibrium: "Let things happen
and they'll turn out all right."
Dave credits his academic ex-
cellence to "Mr. Pfirman, who
has taught me the need to work
hard all the time at school."
There's time for work and there's
time for play. Dave escaped
school's drudgery on April 1, and
left for Florida.

Until then, Dave must make

Dave explained, "It seems

team's performance could be
characterized as fair at best in
relation to their potential.
Nevertheless, the Braves main-

the Eastern Hills League.
Bouncing back from a tough
defeat at the hands of Walnut

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.

The Braves recently solidified
their position as one of the top
teams in Cincinnati by capturing

Milford gained one run in their
succeeding half-inning.
The game went into extra in-

"We've been hitting the ball

Girls' track coach Dave Gar-

The key to the Sycamore vic-

Swisher was pleased with the

disc review
American artists join in support for Africa
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, cur-
rently 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!''
The artists for U.S.A. for Africa.
The fist side begins with the
title mag:. Due to overwhelming
drpby, the song became am m-
madlate hit around the world,
men bigger than its British pre-
decessor, Ba nd-Aid's Do They
Know It's Christmas, "We Are
the World" features solos by Dar-
yZ H a y Tina Turner, Kenny Rog-
arq Kemy Loggins, Wittie Nelson,
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 al-
most reminiscent of Marvin
Gaye's "Sexual Healing."
It begins with light percussion
with electric piano and a short
but tasty sax solo. This back-
ground 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
this will,too.
Rounding out side one is one
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.
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 stu-
dio 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 big-
gest singing stars under the collec-
tive name of Northern Lights.
The gong they recorded, "Tears
Are Not Enough," was co-written
- The next song, Kenny Rogers'
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, J m i
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 ~ for~ dNothing," 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.
"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," re-
corded 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~armonicaand 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 L i i t s ; there have
now been songs recorded for the
same cause by groups of Latin ar-
tists 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.

puzzle
USAMO makes Chieftain
by David Cook
Last issue's puzzle asked how
much water was required in the
process of deriving 10 milliliters
of water from a 100-milliliter pit-
cher and a ill-milliliter pitcher.
To solve this, first note that
in the sample problem in which
one gallon was extracted from an
eightgallon and a fivegallon pit-
cher, the eight-gallon pitcher was
fied twice, and the five-gallon
pitcher was Fied three times-in
effect, 16 gallons of water went
into the eightgallon pitcher, and
15 gallons were poured out into
the fivegallon one, leaving one
gallon. Thus, in order to get one
gallon from an eight- and a five-
gallon container, one had to find
.the lowest factors of eight and
five which differ by one.
Similarly, in the given prob-
lem, one must find the smallest
factors of 100 and 111which dif-
fer by exactly 10. These are 1100

( l lXIOO) and O (lox' ll).
Thus, by filling the Ill-milliliter
pitcher 10 times, and by F i g
the 100-milliliter pitcher 11 times
from the Ill-milliliter one, 10
mjlliliters can be extracted. The
least amount of water required
for this process is 1110 milliliters,
or 1.11 L.
It is interesting to note that if
the problem had allowed re-using
of water, the amount required
would become equivalent to the
greatest amount of water needed
at any one time during the pro-
cess. This amount is 210 millili-
ters. Can you figure out why
(This is a cop-out because I don't
feel like trying to explain it.)?
The past Tuesday, the United
States Mathematics Olympiad was
given across the U.S. and Canada.
The questions on this test are
among the most challenging most
students have ever encountered.
The first problem on the test was
e 's Eve

*-

the following:
Determine whether or not there
are any positive integer solutions
of the Jimultaneous equations
2 3
(x1)2+(x2)2+.'-+(x19s5)
3 therefore, is to find a number,
(X1) +(x2)3~'..+(x1985)3"2
such that none of the x's equal
each other unless they have the
same subscript.
It is safe to say that most
problems on the Olympiad in-
volve a trick of some kind, and I
believe this to be no exception.
In my solution (which is not ne-
cessarily correct), the equations
did not need to be solved in the
conventional way (It may well be
that because of the wording of
the problem, a solution exists
which proves the existence of
numbers which satisfy the equa-
tions without actually finding any
of these numbers.).
It helps to realize that the sum
of the cubes from one to any
number is always a square. For
example, 13+23+33+43=1+8+27+
64=100 (which is lo2). However,
conversely, the sum of squares is
not necessarily a cube. The sum
of the squares from 1 to a given
number is t(x+l ) ( - ~ ~ + 1 ) / 6
By this formula, the sum of
the squares from 12 to 19852 is
(19s5)(1986)(3971)/6, which be-
comes 2,609,092,985. Let us call
this number S; S is, as was stated,
not a cube, but if it could be mul-
tiplied by some number, s2 for

While the sum of the cubes of l3

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,
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:

of the sum of the cubes from 13

Stew parties but stays on top
by Brian Rowe
Almost two years ago Dave
Steward came to IH from Carmel,
Indiana, leaving "No broken
hearts; only broken glasses."
Dave had several insightful
comments comparing Carmel
High School and IH. "At Carmel
you could get away with a lot
more as far as beer goggle material
is concerned. I also got to have
my mom as a teacher." Dave was
only caught sleeping once in his
mother's chemistry class, so it
must have been a pretty interest-
ing class by his standards.
Dave is known around the
Academy as a laid back senior
who somehow manages to break
the curve on most tests he takes.
Academically and socially, Stew is
near the top of his class. The
words to live by to acheive this
equilibrium: "Let things happen
and they'll turn out all right."
Dave credits his academic ex-
cellence to "Mr. Pfirman, who
has taught me the need to work
hard all the time at school."
There's time for work and there's
time for play. Dave escaped
school's drudgery on April 1, and
left for Florida.

characterized as fair at best in
relation to their potential.
Nevertheless, the Braves main-

the Eastern Hills League.
Bouncing back from a tough
defeat at the hands of Walnut

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.

The Braves recently solidified
their position as one of the top

Scholarships bring hopes to achievers
Nabors to receive
by Kevin Walzer
It is fitting that Lynn Nabors,
one of the top junior tennis play-
ers in the country, go to North-
western University. Nothwestern
has one of the top-ranked tennis
programs in the country.
Nabors received a full-four
year scholarship from the Big
Ten school-"tuition, room,
board, books." The scholarship
comes as a result of her consider-
able stature on the national jun-
ior tour and, before that, her
brief but shining success as a
member of IH's varsity tennis
team.
Nabors is the only one of IH's
receive a full-tution scholarship to
a university; she is very excited
about the tennis and academic
programs at Northwestern.
Tennis-wise, Northwestern
is coming off a national ranking
of sixth; academically, of course,
the only private school in the Big
Ten has a very prestigious repu-
tation.

But in that fortuitous 1981

Wiatt has had no regrets about.
Hey, it netted her the half tui-

arship] ," said Wiatt. "I'm really
looking forward to playing."
Miami finished a "not too

school.
Although Wiatt's scholarship is
renewable conditionally upon per-
formance in the field, she should
have no trouble with that process
if her high school career is any in-
dication of her potential. Wiatt
was hard-pressed to describe the
highlights of her four years here
at IH; considering the numerous
accolades she has received, that is
understandable.
Still, one must start some
where. .. "I think the two times
we went to state [in 1981 and
19821 have to be up there," said
Wiatt. In those years IH had a
"really dominating team; we had
Lisa More and Kris Brockmann
and Mary Howe."
As well, there are the prestig-
ious personal awards Wiatt has
won during her tenure at IH. She
has been named to the Southwest
Ohio Field Hockey League all-star
team all four years of high school;
in addition, she has been a three-
time offensive MVP for the
Squaws, who have won the past
four league titles.
"Field hockey is a pretty
tough sport to master, working
NU
and win some matches-I'd like to
improve enough to maybe try a
pro career after I graduate."
That may be a lofty aspira-
tion, but according to Nabors,
"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.

wonder why she does not play
for Indian Hill, she did as a fresh-
man. She had an outstanding
year by any standard, winning the
state doubles title with 1983grad-
uate Angela Farley.
However, Nabors decided t o
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 ad-
ded 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.
"I intend to get my degree
so I'll have that to fall back on."
But then again, so is field
hockey player Amy Wiatt. It's
not usual for a high school ath-
lete to win a scholarship to a ma-
jor university; she has, however,
done it.

lorn and trcle wart tor no man
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 omni-
potence.
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 exam-
ple, the sixties are often "remem-
bered" in radio programs. The
popularity of these programs re-
sides 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
labeled as "now."
The present is the state of
existence that surrounds us all
CHIEFTAIN
r
I *,
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

Dear Students,
Student Government members
are working hard on annual SG
spring projects. Musicfest, the
Hoxworth blood drive, as well as
the new ultimate frisbee intra-
mural games are all being organ-

Musicfest will be held a week
from today during sixth and sev-

signed up to play. Students are
urged to stay for Musicfest and
make it a successful school event.
If there are any questions about
Musicfest, contact Bob Tuttle.
The Hoxworth blood drive is
scheduled for May 5. Students
who are 17 and older are urged to
donate blood. There is no paren-
tal permission required to donate
blood, but it is a good idea to let
your parents know about the do-

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 invita-
tional.

Behind the incredible perfor-

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," ex-
plained Wessinger.

by Tiffany Meyer
The JV softball Squaws will
play their next game against Syc-
amore on Monday, going in with
added confidence from their re-
cent winning streak. IH captured
three of their last four games to
improve their record to 3-6.
The Squaws defeated Finney-
town, 5-3, last Tuesday. The girls
showed strong defense with their
ability to rack up a consecutive
number of outs. Sophomore Mi-
chelle Bokon delivered an impres-
sive three-run homer to put the
lid on the victory for the Squaws.
CHIEFTFIN
Invitational, held Iast Friday, in
which IH fMshed tenth of eleven
teams. The Braves, collecting on-
ly 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 invita-
tional. IH, with 73 points, had
little trouble downing Felicity,
with 50, and Mariemont, with 32.

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.

The girls met with a depressing
loss to Milford last Monday, fin-
ishing the game with an 11-0 de-
feat.
On the nineteenth, the Squaws
played an outstanding game
against Deer Park, pulling through
with a 12-9 win.
However, the Squaws' most re-
markable win this season occurred
on the eighteenth, when the
team outdueled their Turpin op-
ponents, 20-11. Sophomore Jen-
ny Purcell hit two home runs.
The girls travelled to Ursuline
on Wednesday the seventeenth,
19'3", probably the season's top
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 out-
standing sprinters.

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 op-
ponents but 1-5 against the AAA
teams. "We simply can't compete
with some of the bigger schools

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.

However, the girls played a

depth; this was evidenced by the
true highlight of the Mariemont
Invitational, the victory of the JV
team, by ?4point over New Rich-
mond, in its first appearance. The
team was not "padded" at all, and
in fact, several more underclass-
men 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 in-
vitational~, West has maintained
his positive attitude, perhaps es-
pecially because of the promise
shown by the underclassmen.

out the Braves' coach, a differ-

by juniors and especially seniors.

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 com-
petition 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.

supplemental contract. McKib-
ben will not be returning next
year in a coaching capacity.
Officially, the Board of Edu-
cation has yet to take action on
the matter. According to Board
President Mrs. Jean Pappas, all
coaching contracts were non-re-
newed at the most recent Board
meeting, with the intention of
making later final decisions in
each case based on recomrnenda-
tions from the athletic director
and building principal. However,
athletic director Miss car01 Weh-
mann has confirmed that McKib-
ben will not coach next year.
"All I will say at the present
time is that yes, there is a vacan-
cy at the boys' varsity basketball
position for next year, along with
several other [coaching] posi-
tions."
Drama club to stage 'Harvey'
by Kym Sollinger
The Indian Hill Drama Club
has chosen Hawey for its Spring
Play. The hilarious threeact co-
medy will be presented May 3 and
4.
Written by Mary Chase, Har-
vey follows the later life of El-
wood P. Dowd. He is an affec-
tionate and kind man. In fact, he
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
white rabbit named Harvey. But
is Harvey so imaginary ?

When questioned further,
Wehmann said she had no further
comment; neither did principal
Dr. Karl Feltman. The school dis-
trict views personnel matters as
p~ivateand authorities are not re-
quired to discuss them.
The decision not to renew Mc-
Kibben's coaching contract stems
primarily from concerns voiced at
a meeting of community parents,
attended by Feltman and Weh-
mann, held March 25 at the Indi-
an Hill Church. The parents
called the meeting to air a basic
grievance: concerns over whether
players in the basketball program
were deriving positive benefits
from it.
After the meeting, Wehmann
and Feltman made their recom-
mendation to the Board. How-
ever, Pappas said, "At this point
all supplemental contracts have
been non-renewed, and will be de-
cided on later. I don't understand
why he was singled out."
However, McKibben said,

Dowd's strange behavior and the
staff's antics, Harvey manages to
keep the audience rolling in
laughter.
The story was made famous
by the 1947 movie with the same
name as the play, starring Jimmy
Stewart. Dowd will be played by
veteran actor, senior Duff Wood-

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, prin-
cipal 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 in-
clude academic presentations,
community service, and fine arts-
are nearing completion."
When completed and ap-
proved, the schedule will be ex-
plained 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

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

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