Speaking at a Student Senate spon
sored assembly, 10th Congressional
district candidate Abner J. Mikva
expressed his views on wide ranging
topics from Watergate to gun control.
Mikva spoke at the first of two Senate
sponsored assemblies with the second
being an address from incumbent Sam
Young on October 22.
IN A PREPARED ADDRESS Mik
va discussed the need for young to
become involved with government and
not to shy away because of the effect of
scandals like Watergate. He advised
that, “the government is too important
to leave to the mediocre people."
Mikva feels that good has risen from
the Watergate scandal in that the
American people saw the Congress and
Judicial system exercise the necessary
checks and balances that are essential
in this system of government.
The Congressional candidate also
stressed the need for a free and
independent press. To support this
stand Mikva cited the breaking of the
Watergate story by two young Wash
ington Post reporters who began
seeking the truth when thinking it was
only a routine police story. “Without
their work in obtaining the truth the
people of America might still have been
in the dark.”
A QUESTION AND ANSWER
period followed his speech and several
areas were covered by the interested
students. Mikva, who feels that current
housing projects are generally failing to
meet their intended end, would like to
see government housing subsidies giv
en to families wishing to move into
housing accommodations beyond their
means (in the suburbs also).
“There ought to be a subsidy to
allow people to afford decent standard
housing, not luxury, not at the top of
the bracket, decent standard housing.”
Mikva stated that he thought that
there should be strict gun control laws
on handguns. When questioned further
he made clear that if total control were
put on hand guns, that he would
consider a control on guns used for
hunting purposes such as the rifle.
Further, Mikva strongly supports
the E.R.A and existing abortion laws.

Student production in rehearsal
More than 150 students were select
ed to participate in the cast for the

working diligently to put the entire
production on stage in less than two
months.

fathers were veterans of World War
I, World War II, or served at any
time during the national emergency
between June 25, 1950, and January
31, 1955. Preference will be given to
candidates whose fathers are deceased
or disabled.
APPLICANTS MUST have ACT Ex

must have written the ACT on April 27,
1974, June 15, 1974, or October

to attend. (Urbana ACT code 1154 and
Chicago Circle ACT code 1155).
The two forms necessary for
application are a Certificate of
Applicant form and an Affidavit of
Relationship to a Veteran. Both forms
are available in Room 107, and must be

stage is extended into the band pit. By
doing this, the cast is brought much
closer to the audience. For the first
time a scaffolding is being rented for
the production. The scaffolding is
actually an oversized jungle-gym made
up of a structure of piping. It will be
directly in front of the band stretching
across the stage. By the use of the
scaffolding, many new and daring
staging effects can be attempted on the
audience.
The theme of this year’s show
“Reflections: Life, Liberty, and the
Pursuit of Happiness: A Look at the
American Way of Life”, describes a
widely varied show.
THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM of the
American way of life is examined
ranging from the good, the bad, the
funny, the serious, to politics, poverty,
and brotherhood.
“The show is not on such a seriouil

period acting class.
WHAT ARE THEY DO

exercise referred to as Domin

in a circle, and with one person
starting an action and voice
ou tb u rst, it spontaneously
revolves around the circle,
one person repeating the same
action after another until it is
changed after one revolution of
the circle. This is the same
ancient theory of the game
Dominoes.
As the class progresses
during the semester, Profit
introduces many other “wake
up” games. A particular game
that cannot be given a name is
a most unusual one, for the
students stand in a circle with

ering across the varnished
floor, a ballerina prancing
about, a lion roaring and
crawling on all fours, and a
jumping bean, all of which
congregate in the midst of the
circle, then approach one other
members standing “ sane”
along the circle. Then they
must imitate the same actions
of the person who approached
them, and then may change it
when they too, walk to the
middle of the circle. The game
goes on and on and on in this
manner.
If one were to enter the
auditorium where the acting
class is held, and saw the
group walking in all different
directions, in a half-conscious
state, being mastered by the
calm directing voice of Jerry
Profit, one would be witness
ing one other type of game.
T eresa m akes d ecision
The students are told they are
walking through a thick heavy
substance, and for them to feel
the substance around them,
and to form an object out of it.
Profit feels it is important for
the students to really “get into
what they’re doing.”
MANY GAMES are in
cluded in this acting class, but
they are more than just “past
the time” games.
Proffit feels that “these
games don’t only break down
one’s inhibitions, but makes
one aware of his surroundings
and to respond to them”.
Proffit adds, “it creates a type
of sensitivity in that person’s
life.”
Proffit refers to his “games”
as a “sensory experience.” He
encourages the students to get

Opinion Poll
Should East have
a sm oking lounge?
Enchilada vs. Big-mac
Bonnie Saltzman and David Pevsner
Teachers can smoke in the
building in their lounge, so the
students should have the same
privilege. A lounge would be
better because the kids will
smoke in the bathroom s
otherwise. There is a bigger
fire hazard smoking in bath
rooms than there would be in a
controlled smoking lounge.
—Richard Monti ’75
A smoking lounge would be
all right if the parents of the
students using it would give
their consent. If the students
are smoking without their
parents’ knowledge, the school
would be going against the
parents by having a smoking
lounge.
—Robert Keen, faculty
Fewer students would get
busted and would have more
freedom. When you go into the
jons, you won’t have to wear a
gas mask.
—Moreen Willens, ’76
We should not have a
smoking lounge because it
only will encourage poor health
habits.
Barbara Scarbrough, nurse
I think it’s a good idea
because not having one isn’t
going to stop the smoking, and
having one won’t encourage it.
—Iris Goldberg ’77
I ’m against one because the
smell on Mulford is terrible
and I couldn’t stand that smell
throughout the school.
—Scott Winkler ’76
I don’t want a smoking
lounge, because the smoke
would filter into the school and
the smell annoys me very
much. It is also a fire hazard.
—Lisa Saber ’75
I don’t feel a smoking
lounge would be a good thing
for the school. First, it is
against the state law and
second, it would be another
area that would have to be
supervised. Mulford was built
for the students as a lounge
and smoking area. Maybe they
should put up some type of a
roof so people wouldn’t get wet
when it rained or snowed.
—A1 Becker, faculty
Yes, there should be a
smoking lounge. High school
students are old enough to
decide whether to smoke or
not.
—Scott Norris ’78
Students who smoke will
smoke whether there is a
smoking lounge or not, so why
force the students to sneak a
cigarette?
—Danny Marchiafava ’77
I think there should be a
smoking lounge because most
of the kids aren’t prepared for
the weather out on Mulford.
—Phil Lindroth ’78
Yes, because it would make
it a lot easier for those who
smoke.
—Mike Stone ’75
No, because the students
aren't legally old enough to
smoke.
—Jerry Ferguson, faculty
They should have one with
fireproof walls for students to
relieve their tensions.
—Eric Rambis ’78
There shouldn’t be a smok
ing lounge. Let them all freeze
on Mulford. There’s enough
cancer heads already.
—David Albert ’76

Problems cause districts
to reject similar measure
Innovative ideas developed and de
bated become controversial issues on
which decisions are often made. The
prospect of student smoking lounge
areas has become a contemporary issue
of debate in many high school districts.
TWICE LAST YEAR District 219’s
Board of Education considered modify
ing the ‘nicoban’ policy by approving
an in-door smoking area although with
a five-to-two vote the Board upheld the
old policy. President Shirley Garland
explained her stand on the issue when
she said that student smoking in the
school “would be incongruous with an
educational institution.”
Although a decision against this
proposal was made, it may be brought
up again at any time for reconsider
ation. Further, because the acquisition
of an indoor lounge is of student
interest again this year, (as indicated
on the survey on page 2), it is
important to present ideas on the
subject for all students will be affected
by any modification of the ‘nicoban’
policy.

maintain a smoking area “the majority
of students were sickened” by the
smoking related problems that de
veloped.”
NEW TRIER EAST has not disbanned its outdoor smoking area YET,
but has been changing its location and
is seemingly facing the same problem.
Student vocalists in many schools
who dominate discussion and debate
leave the majority of the student
population disgusted but hesitant to
offer their opinions.
Merlin Schultz, a Maine Township
administrator said that the Quad
(student) Councils from Maine East,
South, North and West that meet with
the superintendent to discuss student
interests have not brought up smoking
facilities “since the council has been
meeting.”
IN MAINE TOWNSHIP there never
were smoking facilities. A group of
interested parents, teachers, and stu
dents formed a visiting committee to
other schools in an attempt to assess
the feasibility of smoking areas.

INTERESTINGLY, the majority of
surrounding school districts have only
dealt with the adoption of outdoor
areas. These open air accommodations,
less radical than those our Board
considered, are causing foreseeable
problems. David Cox, principal of New
Trier West, said that two years ago the
New Trier Board of Education ap
proved an outside area for both
schools. Yet, he included that “the
smoking area was a nearly impossible
area to keep clean and to control
behavior.”
Although students brought food out
of the cafeteria into the smoking area,
thereby attracting rats from the Chica
go River, the major problem was one of
controlling behavior. After changing
the smoking area location twice last
year, Cox said “I finally closed the
smoking area because students were
unable to follow through with their
commitment. ”
AN EDITORIAL WRITTEN in the
New Trier West News expressed an
adverse opinion to that of their
administration’s on the subject of
uncontrollable behavior.
“This mob jazz was grossly exagger
ated by a few nervous administrators
that run this circus.”
Although the student newspaper and
administrators seem unable to come to
terms on the cause of the inability to
After completing and summarizing a
14-page questionnaire, the committee
submitted it to their Board for
consideration. Subsequently, the Board
reviewed the summary and held a
successful open hearing on January 17,
1973.
THE MORE THAN 300 citizens who
attended the hearing were each given
an opportunity to speak to the issue.
“Since smoking is the Number 1 health
problem” the Board decided on Febru
ary 19, 1973, that they would be
negligent in their duties if they
encouraged smoking on campus.
caused by their realization of the
behavior problem.
As Dr. Forrest Shely, Superin
tendent of Schools in the Glenbrook
High School district said, “In the
schools that they (smoking areas) were
present, either they had been cancelled
or the schools were having problems
with them.”
“T h is m ob ja zz w as grossly
exaggerated by a few nervous
a d m in istrators th a t run this circu s.”
Rather than promote smoking,
Maine South holds educational clinics
in lieu of suspension for offending
smokers
FURTHERMORE, although illegal
smoking on campus is the number one
cause of suspension, the minority
interest in acquiring a lounge is dying.
Schultz added, “I just don’t see any
fireworks, urgency, or pressures to
have a lounge.”
In fact, the rejection and dissatis

students to this epic issue has been
IN THIS DISTRICT Niles East,
comparatively more progressive with
its on-campus area, has been faced with
serious behavior problems also. Here
the problem rooted itself in Mulford
Street and blossomed into the Dean’s
offices.
The fact that there is an outside
area, legally designated on campus
where students may smoke is sufficient
evidence of the leniency of this
administration.
Yet, some students are trying to
secure an indoor lounge. What pur-

Student ridiculed for religious beliefs
Dear Editor:
It is difficult to understand and
accept that in a community such as
ours, a person wishing to express his or
her beliefs must face harrassment from
his own peers. A case in point: recently
a student wearing a head covering to
express his religious convictions was
ridiculed and had his skull cap
snatched from his head by a fellow
student in the cafeteria.
Verbal and physical abuse has
followed this incident. This disagree
ment is senseless. One may wonder
why people can’t accept other beliefs,
whether it be a way of dressing, living,
or a practice of religion.
People must at some time reahze
that Might Is Not Right, and accept
other people for what they are.

Poor tennis coverage
Dear Editor:
In the last issue of he Nilehilite there
was a letter to the editor by a
sophomore saying that gymnastics has
been neglected at Niles East. I agree
with her completely. I would like to
add that the Niles East tennis team is
neglected by REPORTERS. This team
has been the best during the spring for
the past few years and some of the
players play as much as twenty to
thirty hours of tennis a week. I am not

friends on the team who I think
deserve a little more publicity than
they are getting now.
Rich Bodenheimer ’76
a very authoritative manner, repeated
in a loud voice, “Freshmen and
sophomores in one line, juniors and
seniors in the other . . . Quiet in this
room.” Then to an excited group of
freshman girls he added, “keep your
mouths shut or get out.” I certainly
think that he would have been more
helpful if he had been behind the desk
helping those poor, tired ladies. I
thought that this was a good example
of the administration’s ignorance of
student rights. No one likes a policeman
standing over his shoulder. If the
administration wonders why students
feel as if they are in a prison here, this
is one reason why.

Security men helpful?
Dear Editor:
I have just read the school’s
newspaper, and it seems to me that you
are open to student opinion. I ’m sure
all students experienced a bit of the
turmoil that took place in the bookroom in the beginning of the year. On
my trip up there I definitely received
some bad vibes. On entering I saw the
new security guard standing by the
door with an unlit cigar in hand, and in
pose does an indoor lounge serve?

Varsity quarterback Adam Retzler goes for first down on quarterback
keeper against Deerfield last week. The Trojans lost the game 14-0.
Gridders lack offense
A lack of offense is the big
problem surrounding the Tro
jan Football Team this season.
The defense seems to be good,
and they proved it when they
played top area rated Deer
field. They held the Warriers
to two touchdowns, and played
close ball throughout the
entire game. But, the Trojans
just don’t have any offense.
They haven’t got an explosive
running back or a steady
quarterback. The coach is
constantly shuffling the quar
terback. In order to get an
offense going, they should
stick with one quarterback.
IN THE GAME against
Deerfield the scoring got
underway in the second
quarter with 3:09 to go. Mike
Wells of Deerfield scored on a
two-yard run. The conversion
was good, and the Deerfield
Warriors led 8-0 at the end of
the first half.
Some strong points in this
game was the good defensive
play by many Easthi players.
by Jeff Weinstein
Tim Hanley was constantly on
the back of Deerfield’s quarter
back and pressured him into
many bad passes. The cornerback Harold Gordon was all
over his receivers throughout
the entire game. Rick Carlson
made some good stops at the
line on Deerfield runners all
day long.
THROUGHOUT THE
TH IRD quarter, the ball
exchanged hands many times
with neither team moving
anywhere. When the Trojans
were on offense, it seemed as if
Deerfield knew the plays ahead
of time. This snows how
predictable the East offense is.
In the fourth quarter,
Deerfield grinded out another
touchdown on a trap play to
Wells; he then proceeded to
run 25 yards for the score. The
conversion was missed making
the score 14-0. The Trojans
failed to move on the ensuing
kickoff, and the game ended
with the final score of 14-0.
THE TROJANS CAME
close to a victory against
by Larry
Cross Country took seventh
in their own Trojan invitatio
nal. Mark Lichtenstein, the
top finisher for Easthi, placed
eighth with a time of 13:51, a
new varsity record for the
Niles East course. The other
Trojan medalist, Larry Bower,
finished 16th. Luther North
was the overall winner of the
invitational. On the freshmen
level the harriers finished a
very respectable third. Easthi
had four runners in the top
twenty positions. Ed Santacruz finished second with a
freshman record breaking time
of 11:35. Bruce Bower finished
fourth, Barry Finn took
fourteenth, and Dave Larson,
nineteenth.
IN A PREVIOUS meet,
both the varsity and Freshmen
teams were victorious in a
triangular meet with rivals
Niles North and Highland
Park. Lichtenstein was first on
Bower
the varsity level, and Bruce
Bower won the Freshm en
event.
At the Indian invitational,
Lictenstein again was the top
Trojan runner. He ran to a
ninth place finish. The team as
a whole finished 13th in a field
of 34.
THE HARRIERS FACED
the three toughest teams in
the conference last week Maine
East, Glenbrook North, and
Maine West and as expected
the varsity finished last behind
these three CSL powerhouses.
But the ever-improving fresh
man squad was surprisingly
victorious over all three teams.
The Frosh record is now up to
6-1, putting them in second
place in the conference.
The next Trojan meet, the
Luther North Invitational, is
scheduled for tomorrow with a
head to head meet with New
Trier West on Tuesday.
Let'stalk training.
Morton East two weeks ago.
Both team s had lost 19
straight games, and one of the
teams had to break their
streak. U nfortunately, it
wasn’t East.
The game was sent into
overtime after 12-12 tie at the
end of regulation time. In a
overtime period each team is
given the ball on the ten-yard
line and is given four plays to
get a score. Niles East was
given the ball first, and they
proceeded to score on three
plays. Morton also scored on
their chance. So, the game was
sent into a double overtime.
Easthi drove down to the three
yard line on two plays, and on
third down they were penalis
ed 15 yards; they then failed
to score. Morton then took the
ball from the ten, and scored
on three plays to capture a
24-18 victory.
THE NEXT VARSITY
game will be held Saturday at
Maine South, starting at 2

Booters look toward state title
The varsity soccer team is
sporting the top record in the
school this fall with an
excellent 10-2 record, ranking
them among the top teams in
the state.
TH E BOOTERS MOST
recent victory came against
rival Niles North. This game
proved to be no problem for
the Trojans as they easily
defeated the Vikings 4-0.
'Easthi was led by the one man
wrecking crew of Hugo Donado. Throughout the game,
Donado was shooting blister
ing shots at the North goalie,
and before the game ended he
had scored a hat trick by
scoring three goals in one
game. The other goal was
scored on a penalty kick by
Pete Fosses. Once again the
fine Trojan defense led by
Mark Brines, Gene Freid, Bob
Matz, and George Vlhandreas
gave goalie Mark Borofsky an
easy time in the net with little
action throughout the entire
game.
Two weeks ago the booters
defeated last year’s conference
champions, Maine East 2-1.
Scoring the goals for Easthi
were Mike Stone and Hugo
Donado. The defense constant
ly was battling off the Maine
attack, and the fine goal work
by Mark Borofsky saved the
Niles East victory.
THE BOOTERS HAVE
another tough week of games
coming up. They will face
Maine W est tomorrow at
Isaacson Field. On Tuesday
they will finish the regular
season battling the Deerfield
Warriors at Deerfield. The
next game m ight be a
conference playoff if Maine
East loses in the week to come.
Then the districts will get
underway on October 22.
After the last two convinc
ing victories by the Trojans, it
looks like this could be the
year for the booters to go
down state and try to capture
the state championship.
