Strike threatens Hist. 219
N.T.F.T. teachers w alk out
On August 31, the night before the 7677 school year began, students at Niles
East wondered if they’d be in class the
next morning.
Mr. Edwin Ernst, the building vicepresident of NTFT, gave the occurrence
of a strike a hundred per cent chance if
“ the board doesn’t change its attitude,”
while Mr. Galen Hosier, principal, saw no
need for a strike and hopes there will be
none.
September 8 and 10, some major issues
were discussed by the Union Negotiating
Committee, headed by Mr. Dougherty,
and the Board’s committee which has
hired Wes Wildman, a member of a law
firm and a professional negotiator, to
speak for them. The latter team includes
Mr. Hosier.
A prominent issue discussed was Re
duction in Force (R IF ) which pertains to
lay-off of teachers as enrollment
decreases.
The teachers seek job security. Their
proposal was not made on September 10,
according to Mr. Hosier, although the
Union made it clear they wanted no lay
offs. Mr. Hosier thinks this doesn’t make
any practical sense.
He stated that enrollment of District
219 has dropped more than any other dis
trict around; yet we have dismissed no
tenure teachers, while other districts
have. He thinks the board is being rea
sonable and generous.
But he believes the necessity to reduce
the faculty may arise, in which case an
effort will be made to encourage teachers
to cooperate with a transfer system and to
consider early retirement to ease the
situation.
A teacher between 55 and 65 years of
age who has served at least ten years in
the District and is eligible for the Illinois
State Retirement plan, may retire early
with twenty per cent of his salary paid for
five years.
Hosier feels the board has been very
generous without prompting from the
Union.
If dismissal becomes necessary, Mr.
Ernst was in favor of a seniority plan,
although he weighed the pros and cons.
Though many of the better teachers are
young and agile, it is not easy for a 55 year
old teacher to begin job-hunting.
Another issue is that of assigned acti
vities. Mr. Ernst said the teachers are
willing to go along, but they want limi
tations on who is appointed to how many
extra curricular activities and for how
long.
The board came up with the guidelines
of three extra curricular activities per
coach per year with the duration of the
assignment of up to five years. This is not
E a rly grad u ates
Seniors who plan to graduate in less
than eight semesters must obtain a
request form by October 15, 1976. These
forms can be obtained in the principal’s
office.
ACCORDING TO MR. HOSLER, the
deadline date can be stretched, if there is
a definite need to leave school early due to
any type of experience or opportunity that
would be beneficial, and not obtainable at
a later date. In that case, a statement of
intent must be submitted to the
principal’s office by October 15.
Hosier added that the final application
with verification of educational or
vocational opportunity must be filed by
the first school day in December.
EARLY GRADUATES who will be at
tending classes at Oakton Community
College will be dismissed on January 15.
acceptable to the Union, and there was no
mention of safe-guards. The teachers,
said Mr. Ernst, don’t want their jobs
threatened due to lack of participation in
after-school activities.
Mr. Hosier agrees the best possible sit
uation would be voluntary coaching, but
he thinks it’s more important to appoint
coaches rather than “ disband the
activity,” for lack of a coach. Hosier also
said the five year limit is reasonable
because it would take that long for a
coach to become experienced enough to
train a really good team.
Mr. Hosier believes any further “ unrea-
sonable protections might tie us up in
grievances all the time.”
As for the issue of salary, little can be
reported at present because it is usually
one of the last issues to be discussed. Mr.
Ernst thinks the 4.5 per cent increase has
been overrated, while Mr. Hosier thinks it
is very generous in comparison with the
Chicago schools who received almost no
increase.
If a strike does occur, the Board intends
to keep the schools open with continued
instruction.
Note: This was written before the strike
was announced.
S A G E en terin g
its second year
Project SAGE, now in its second year,
is considered an effective and successful
program.
SA G E
(S T R E N G T H E N IN G
ACADEMIC GROWTH EFFECTIVE
LY), sponsored by Social Worker Fred
Krai, is a federally funded program de
signed to help students grow personally,
socially, and academically.
The main philosophy involved is that
self-image is very important. A person
who thinks highly of himself generally
does better scholastically and otherwise.
So a student must improve self-image in
order to improve other facets of his life.
The methods involved to reach this goal
are student-led group sessions. The result
should be improved grades and personal
satisfaction.
In late September or early October,
consultants from Forest Mental Hospital
will train the staff and student leaders in
eight sessions. The sessions will include
training in the techniques of group
process,
effective communication,
problem solving, and role playing.
Periodical evaluations of student pro
gress in the group as a whole and of in
dividual student progress will be included.
Students who wish to join should contact
Mr. Krai.
Fair encourages all
(Photo by Bruce Gostomelsky)
Many teachers participated in the iniormational picketing to show their unity.
The Student Activities Club sponsored
an activities fair, which was held on
September 17, during fifth period, in the
courtyard.
MANY ACTIVITIES sponsored booths,
and encouraged students to join their
clubs. Each activity was reimbursed up to
20 dollars on their booths, which they
were permitted to construct on Thursday
night, September 16. Security, provided
by the Letterman’s Club, guarded the
booths during the night.
Every activity presented a ticket to
each student who visited their booth, and
any student, who accumulated three
tickets, could trade them for a hotdog and
milk. The Distributive Education Club
assisted the Cafeteria staff in preparing
the hotdogs, and Mr. Coulson’s Marketing
class provided advertising.
Committee divides into five
The committee to close Niles East was
divided into five subcommittees: student
articulation Area I and II, classified staff,
certified staff, and distribution/disposal
of furniture, equipment, and awards, and
disposition of the library collection at
East.
STUDENT ARTICULATION, Area I,
headed by Dr. James Richter, will decide
the development of procedures for depart
ment articulation with feeder school dis
tricts 69, 72, 73, 73V2, special education
program, registration and testing for
classes, assignment of students to coun
selors, and East graduates’ records.
Area II, headed by Dr. Lee Hawkins,
will decide development of procedures for
participation in student government,
clubs, interscholastic programs, music
and drama programs, publications, and
speech program.
The subcommittee on classified staff is
in charge of the following: “ a) To follow
policies and/or guidelines of the Board of
Education for staff reduction and
transfers, b) To solicit for ideas and sug
gestions from personnel in the secre
tarial-clerical, building and grounds, and
cafeteria staffs, on how the classified
personnel can be redistributed in the
district, c) To generate a general plan to
cover building and job assignments for
classified staff.”
THE SUBCOMMITTEE on certified
staff works on the same ideas as the
classified staff plus departmental and
extra-curricular assignments.
The final two subcommittees will not
meet until the last year.
The Committee also compared the
options of “four years through 1980” and
“ no freshmen after 1978.” With no
freshmen after 1978, there would be a
diminished program, particularly in
areas where freshmen are combined with
upper classmen. With school spirit, there
would be a drop in morale with the freshman grade level missing. In activities,
there would be a decrease in participation. Greater financial support
would also be needed with smaller
classes, activities, and additional routing
of buses for 1979-80 school year,
The committee’s next meeting will be
held in December.
Homecoming ’76 presented
Homecoming 76 will be presented as
“ Western Round Up Eastern Style” and
the “Sun Rises on East and Sets on West.
ACTIVITIES WILL BEGIN with an in
school pep rally on October 15. The parade
and football games will be seen the
following day.
In the evening, the Homecoming dance
will be held in the contest gym. In con
junction with the Theater Department,
the gym will be decorated. Bresler’s
(thirty-three flavors) will sponsor the
food and the band, “Choice,” will play the
music.
As something different this year, a King
and his court, and a Queen and her court
will be nominated. Juniors and seniors
will be able to vote for them approxi
mately the first week of October. The
Queen and King won’t be united as one
couple; two separate groups will be
formed.
“ These results were decided because
we took a survey which was sent to desig
nated homerooms. The students were
asked if they would rather have a Queen
and court, and King and court, instead of
just the Queen and her court. Eighty per
cent of the students said yes. The idea was
suggested because of the discussion about
Equal Rights and Women’s Lib,” ex
plained Cathy Bernstein 76, co-chairman
with Ilene Levin 76, chairman.
WITH THE ASSISTANCE of Steve Poznansky, sponsor, the group sold stretch
bottles, stickers, and taffy apples. A
balloon launch, a car wash, flower ograms and bake sales were also held.
Buttons, and blue and gold ski hats are
possible fund-raisers in the future. Pro
grams for the occasion will be sold during
Homecoming weekend.
Meetings for final preparations are held
every Wednesday at 3 p.m. in the
Coaches’ Lounge.

Staff revises policy
Traditionally, in the first issue of THE
NILEHILITE of each school year, the
staff reviews its goals, rights, and res
ponsibilities for the coming year.
THE NILEHILITE’S purpose is to
provide new learning experiences, and act
as “The Voice of the Niles East Stu
dents.” The staff will try its best, within
its limitations to publish a newspaper
which is interesting and informative. We
reserve the right to use our own authority
and good judgement to decide what will
appear in the paper. We will use our
rights to freedom of the press with
maturity and responsibility, and intend to
be impartial and truthful.
In addition, we would appreciate and
encourage faculty and students to submit
f
letters, guest editorials, ideas and
rebuttals. We would like to cover all
school and community events and are
always open to suggestions.
Sch o o l
To
THE STAFF HOPES that students from
business, typing, photography, and art
classes will be interested in offering their
services to the paper, and club sponsors
and officers should feel free to notify us of
special activities which are not being
covered adequately.

Changes accepted by most
The changes at East are not going to
stir up a walkout, influence students to
file complaints, or trigger a protest. The
changes are favorable, and appreciated
by most students and staff.
THE STUDENT LOUNGE is now
equipped with two air hockey tables, two
foosball games, and two table tennis sets.
These leisure activities are available
every period in the student lounge, so
students can relax. These new lounge
additions are providing a service to
students, and DECA is providing the
service of issuing necessary equipment.
In addition, new draperies are expected in
the near future to add to the new and in
formal appearance of the lounge.
Other improvements include the bright
orange, newly painted girls’ gymnasium.
Most people are impressed by the gym’s
new look, and Mr. Hosier hopes to have
the contest gym painted next year.
ALSO, HOSLER WOULD like to see the
courtyard rejuvenated. The blacktop and
curb in the courtyard parking lot are
already being refinished, and sidewalks
have been added. Hosier proposes having
different student clubs and organizations
lend a hand in beautifying the remaining
area. In this way students would get
involved, in improving their own
courtyard, and would be more likely to
use it for their various activities and
events. Also, it would be a pleasant place
to study and spend free time when the
weather permits.

In addition, students who helped to
plant flowers, or raise money would be
less apt to destroy them, and more apt to
protect them from other types of des
truction. This type of student involvement
is welcomed at East, and will be greatly
appreciated by most.
Unnecessary time

■Feedback'
M.D. needs funds
Dear Editor
Ever since I entered Niles East, I
have heard plans of using an honors
point. I am presently in my senior
year, and there is still no honors point.
It is almost not worthwhile to take an
honors course. I am sure that en
rollment in honors courses would
improve, if the incentive of an honors
point was present.

W eighted grades?
The thought of not being able to
walk, or even move your legs is
frightening, but for those stricken with
Muscular Dystrophy, it is reality.
Muscular Dystrophy is a disease that
causes muscles to weaken and
eventually deteriorate. It can result in
confinement to a wheelchair or even
death. Many victims of this disease
don’t even live past their teens. These
are the “kids” who have pseudohypertrophic Muscular Dystrophy, the
most common type that strikes in
childhood.
There's only only one way to find a
cure for M.D., and thats research,
which costs a lot of money. Think about
that the next time a tennis or golf
match occurs. If the money is put to
use as a contribution for M.D., it could
be the dollar or two that finds the cure.
Remember, the sooner M.D.
receives money, the sooner the answer
can be found, and more lives can be
saved.
Name withheld upon request
The teachers, and the Board of
Education are spending an un
n e c e ssa ry am ount of tim e
negotiating a new contract.
If both sides would meet at the
bargaining table, with reasonable
expectations, a contract could be
agreed upon. Teachers would like
advance notice, as to whether they
will be let go in 1980, when East
closes. According to law, the Board
must inform them only 90 days in
advance. It is quite difficult to
inform teachers too far ahead
because many may send in their
resignations, lessening the number
to be fired. This is particularly true,
since teachers are being fired by
seniority, and some with manj
years of experience may take th<
opportunity to retire at that time.
On the other hand, the contractl
states that each teacher will have 401
minutes planning time. TeachersL
don’t feel this is enough time, s i n c e r
a teacher with five different classesjr
can spend no more than a total ofi
eight minutes to prepare for each!
class. Most people would agree that!
in eight minutes, a successful!
course could not be planned.
It is problems like these that the
te a c h e rs and board should;
compromise on, so a contract can
be settled before June 15,1977.

marked Rosenzweig regarding
East. ‘‘But when I learned I had

THE SCHOOL HASN’T
CHANGED much since Rosenz
weig was a student. ‘‘The
building, itself, is basically the
same, but what strikes me the
most is the freedom. When I was
in school everybody had a study
hall and they had no free time. I
was scheduled for seven classes
straight and I had to be in a class
at all tim es,” reminisced
Rosenzweig.
Although he is a new teacher
at East, he is hardly a newcomer
to teaching. In 1969 after
graduating from Kent State, he
worked as a copywriter for
United Press International.
Rosenzweig wasn’t making
enough money for the UPI, so he
applied for a job to teach Spanish
in the Catholic schools. He was
given a teaching position at
Chicago’s Brother Rice School,
where he taught Spanish for one
year, according to Rosenzweig.
“
ONE OF THE MAJOR
REASONS I left Brother Rice
was because the trip from my
home in Skokie to Brother Rice
was an 80 mile drive,” Rosenz
weig said.
After Brother Rice, Rosenz
weig taught at Willowbrook
School in Glenview for four
years and Disney Magnet School

Football team loses
non-conference game
The Trojan football team
opened their season against New
Trier East by losing 39-6.
NTE took command of the
game from the opening moment
when they gained control of the
ball.
THEY WENT ON TO SCORE
a touchdown, and they obtained a
lead that they would never re
linquish. By the game’s ending
they had scored six TD’s to
E ast’s one.
NTE scored their touchdowns
in a variety of ways, ranging
from a 57 yard run to a one yard
plunge.
The only East touchdown came
in the third quarter. After
recovering a NTE fumble on
their own 35 yard line, senior
quarterback Chris Klancic began
to lead the Trojans down the
field. He completed two first
down passes to get to the oppon
ents’ 37 yard line. He then com
pleted another pass to advance to
the 19 yard line. The Trojan
drive seemed stalled when they
couldn’t advance the ball
farther. Coach Gerald Ferguson
sent in Junior Quarterback Paul
Whitmore. Whitmore proceeded
to throw a touchdown pass to
Gerard Moeller (’77) on his very
first play from scrimmage.
EAST WENT INTO THE
GAME with a young varsity
team; out of 36 rostered players,
19 are juniors.
Before the season started,
Ferguson said that he would con
sider this a successful season if
the varsity finished over .500.
He feels that the team is
“ greatly improved over last
year,” and that although the
team “ stresses offense,” the
defense is “ much improved”
over last year. The Coach also
noted he would start a little more
than half his juniors on the first
and second string teams.
THEIR STRENGTH WAS that
they had a good passing game,
and their weakness lied in their
line play and their abundance of
penalties.
The sophomores lost to NTE 60.
It was nonetheless a moral vic
tory for them, because as fresh
men. they did not win a single
game while NTE was one of the
league’s stronger teams.

“ He has changed my attitude
towards my tennis game by
teaching me how to lose as well
as win. I have learned the im
portance of practicing from his
program. Specifically, that one
must keep on trying in order to
succeed,” said Keith Jaffe ’78, in
reference to Bob Maramba’s
Junior Tournament program at
Edens Tennis Club.
IN 1972 WHEN EDENS TEN
NIS CLUB opened, Bob Maramba began his program for
junior tennis players in the Chi
cago area. Since then he has pro
duced many area and sectional

“We lack programs like this,
and tennis must be taught at an
earlier age. This is the most suc
cessful junior tennis program in
the area,” Maramba said.
Maramba teaches about 300
students between the ages of
eight and eighteen. Approxi
mately half of his students par
ticipate in his tournament pro
gram.
IF A YOUNG TENNIS PLAY
ER is interested in the program
and in competing in tourna
ments, he may arrange with
Maramba to “ try out” . The
player is then placed into the
beginner, intermediate, tourna
ment one, two, three, or an
excellence group. During a 12
week session, each group meets
two hours, one day a week with
an instructor.
Five players meet with one in
structor on each court. Running
and conditioning are stressed as
well as skills to strengthen each
individual’s weaknesses.
“ It’s a very spartan program.
We stress discipline, and we also
want the players to learn how to
coordinate their mind with their
body,” Maramba explained.
