Prom 9 to be held June 1
79
“Somewhere in your lifetime," is the
theme for Prom '79, which will be held
Friday, June 1, at 7 p.m. at the
Chicago Radisson, formerly the Chica
go Sheraton, Grand Ballroom and
Crystal Foyer in Chicago.
According to Chris Redlin '80,
decoration chairman, the price of the
evening will be $35 per couple, which
will include a five course dinner,
dancing, bids, party favors and an
all-night coke bar.
Pastel flowers will decorate the
tables, and stars decorated with glitter,
as well as styrofoam pillars surround
ing the band will decorate the room.
“We will also be having a satin banner
stating the theme at the entrance of the
room,” noted Chris.
Pictures will be taken by Fred Fox
Studios at an additional cost, and
music will be provided by the rock
group “Rif-Raf."
The King and Queen will be
announced the night of the prom.
Campaigning began this week. The
couples will have three weeks to
campaign. Juniors and seniors will vote
the week before Prom in Trojan Hall.
“In order to be eligible to run, one
member of the couple must be a senior,
and they must turn in the appropriate
petition, which will include fifty
junior-senior signatures," Chris ex
plained.
The King and Queen Will be crowned
during the evening. There will be three
couples on the court. At this time the
girls will receive their flowers and
pictures will be taken. The Junior
Cabinet will also read the poem which
they have written for the seniors.
In preparation for the Prom, the
Junior Cabinet, whose officers include
Lori Blackman, president; Barb Dickstein, secretary; Gail Morrison, treasur
er; and Bill Weiss, faculty sponsor, has
been working since last year. They
sponsored o-grams, including the
Valentine o-gram, as well as the St.
Patrick’s Day Dance. The group also
sold refreshments at the dance and held
bake sales in Trojan Hall throughout
the year.
Their most recent fundraisers include
a candy sale and a sno-cone booth at
the Balloon Launch today.
“I think Prom will really be nice this
year. I would like to stress the fact that
although the Prom is downtown, there
is parking underneath the Radisson
Hotel. I would also like to add that the
Prom is not restricted to couples, or
juniors and seniors. Everybody is
welcome,” commented Chris.
Tickets for the Prom went on sale
May 1.
East musicians
tour New York
Members of the East Music Depart
ment will display their musicianship on
the East coast as the concert band, jazz
ensemble, concert orchestra, and choir
tour to New York City, Friday, May
18-21.
The tour is part of an exchange
program with Mepham High School in
New York City. Mepham students will
tour Chicago and perform at East on
May 3-6. They will sleep and eat in
homes of East music students, just as
East students will do in Mepham
students’ homes while in New York.
“ I DON’T THINK they realize it
yet, but students from both schools will
be crazy about it,” commented Tim
Wolfram, band director. “They’ll be
spending time with kids from a
different area and making friends. We
spent one night in homes in Jackson
ville, Missouri, last year and more
friendships arose out of that one night
than I ’ve seen arise in days.”
While in the “Big Apple,” East
students will not only have two
performances, but will also see one.
They will view a Broadway matinee of
“Beatlemania” and sightsee or go fc >
the beach in their free time.

U.s. A R M Y
Draft creates problems
Responding to a failure by the armed
forces to meet their recruiting goals, a
new call to restore the draft has begun.
When carefully analyzed, the majori
ty of articles reporting on the armed
services recruiting failures only pertain
to deficiencies in the final three months
of 1978. This information comes from
an article in Newsweek by Nobel Prize
winning economist Milton Friedman,
dated April 16, 1979.
THE FAILURE IN recruitment so
raved about by journalists and
Pentagon brass amounted to the armed
forces only enlisting 90 per cent as
many recruits as their plans called for,
also according to Friedman who serves
as a member of the President’s
Committee on an All-Volunteer Army.
Reacting to the increased propagan
da toward reviving the draft, Les
Aspin of Wisconsin pointed out that
the number of people in uniform was
two thousand greater at the end of the
year than the military had budgeted
for. The relatively miniscule shortage of
recruits was more than compensated
for by the number of re-enlistments.
“The average score of recruits on
m ental-aptitude tests is far higher
today than it was under the draft.
Quality has risen and every service has
been able to meet is overall quotas,”
added Friedman.
THERE ARE OTHER reasons why
the draft should not be reinstituted.
The existence of a draft poses a very
real threat to the functioning of
democratic checks and balances in this
country. Without the draft, it would
have been impossible for the Vietnam
War to have escalated to the
proportions it did without the approval
of Congress and the people.
Another issue that must be consid
ered along with the draft is that of
mandatory community service. In a
report by the Committee for the Study
of National Service, titled “Youth and
the Needs of a Nation,” the committee
urged that students be encouraged to
serve in activities such as the Peace
Corps or neighborhood renovation
projects but not forced to.
Requiring young people to do
military service or community service
is wrong because it deprives them of
their constitutional right of freedom of
choice.
State upps requirements
The recent move by the Illinois
Secretary of S ta te’s Office to re
toughen the driver’s license renewal
exam should be the first step in upping
the state’s drivers’ requirements.
Previously, the renewal test consist
ed of 20 multiple-choice questions. The
drive had to correctly answer 16 of the
questions to pass the exam. The new
test will require motorists to answer 28
out of the 35 questions correctly.
ALTHOUGH THIS IS a step in the
right direction by the Secretary of
State’s Office, it should not be the only
change made.
The current behind-the-wheel exam
ination that prospective drivers must
pass to receive a license is much too
easy and needs toughening.
Drivers interested in obtaining a
license for the first time must perform
such moves as a three-point turn and
up and down hill parking to receive a
license. These maneuvers are import
ant, but a greater emphasis should be
placed on more commonly encountered
driving situations.
SKILLS SUCH AS the ability to
make a left turn across a busy
intersection and gettin g onto an
expressway should become a part of the
behind the wheel examination.
Upping the requirements for a
drivers’ license would have the result of
generally improving the quality of
drivers on the road today.

Focus reviews Hair
da vid eingorn ,
Films seldom portray accurately the
lifestyles and atmosphere of the time
period they are trying to represent, but
Milos Foreman’s production of Hair
there is a clear exception.
The success of Hair relates to its
ability to relate the major themes of the
sixties to its audience through wonder
fully arranged songs with meaningful
lyrics.
THE THIRST FOR freedom of mind
and body exhibited by the youth of the
sixties was shown by such songs as “I
Got Life.” In “I Got Life,” one of the
hippies, named George Berger, in
response to an insult by one of the
society ladies seated around the dining
room table, jumps up on the table and
begins to sing about how free and
uninhibited he is.
The revolt by the hippies against the
moral and ethnical codes of society was
exemplified in a scene in which one of
the hippie girls and the wife of one of
the male hippies named Hud confront
each other. In this scene, the wife of
Hud could not understand how the
pregnant, hippie girl did not care or
know whether Hud was the father ofher
baby.
IN THE SIXTIES there was no
middle ground. One was either radical
or reactionary. This great gap in views
and lifestyles was shown by the
IT IS UNFORTUNATE that we, the
inheritors of the idealism of the young
people that lived in the sixties have not
moved toward a “freer” society. The
vitality of the sixties is gone; apathy is
rampant. There m ust be increased
concern by young people about the
world around them. If not, all the gains
of the hippies in abolishing prejudice
and increasing personal freedom will be
lost or forgotten.

East band policy needs revision
Dear Editor:
I have been involved in the East
band for seven years. Unfortunately,
many people, including myself, are very
dissatisfied with this year’s program..
Until a few years ago, the band
program here was a farce. Around two
years ago, Timothy Wolfram came here
to take over the bands. In less than two
years, he was able to make the East
band one of the best in the state. Last
year’s successes included trips to Great
America and St. Louis and a first
division rating in the sta te band
adventures of Claude Boukowski with
the hippies. Claude, a God fearing
patriotic American, runs into the
hippies while sight seeing in New York
before entering the army.
After meeting the hippies, Claude is
taken to a secluded area. There Hud
sings a song about the ridiculous racial
slurs that still carried a lot of meaning
in the sixties. Hud’s song is then
followed by a song by all the desperate
people in the area on how they have no
hope for a better life.
To many people the hippies seemed
ridiculous, but in many way they were
just as ridiculous as the rest of society.
After the hippies played a practical
joke, Claude confronts them and call
them ridiculous. Berger replies and
calls him even more ridiculous for
wanting to go off and kill innocent
women and children in a foreign war.

Candidates present views
The Nilehilite believes that
in order for the East student
body to make their selection
for next year’s Student Senate
president, the students should
know the plans of each
candidate for the upcoming
scholastic year.
Each of the four Student
Senate presidential candidates
was asked to submit a short
and concise essay of his plans
to the Nilehilite. The replies we
received from the candidates
are herewith presented.
—— David Eingorn ’81—
“In the past year I have
served as secretary-treasurer
of Senate, Judge Advocate for
the Student Appeals Board,
alternate representative to the
Board of Education, and
E.P.A.C. representative.
As everyone knows, next
year will be the last year of
East and its Senate. To insure
that all East students have a
fair transition to North or
W est, it will take strong
individual leadership by some
one who knows the facts
surrounding the closing.
I KNOW THE facts sur
rounding the closing ’and I
have written about them in the
Nilehilite and I have spoken on
them during Board meetings. I
know the administrators in
volved and have served with
them on committees concerned
with the East closing.
Finally, vote for me to
insure that the last year of
East’s Senate will be one of
its best.”
— Steve Fishman ’80 —
“ Being a junior, I have
viewed recent developments
involving the planned closing
of East. 1 am presently a
member of the district-wide
Social Studies/Fine Arts Ad
visory Committee. I was also a
founding member of the Band
Board and an author of the
present Band Manual.
IT IS QUITE obvious that
with only one year left until
E ast closes, m ost actions
taken by the Senate will deal
with the transition to the two
schools in the district. I plan
to institute fair and equitable
policies which will allow East
students to be transferred with
the least possible discomfort
and disadvantage. This in
cludes social relations, club
functions and officers, and
educational opportunities.”
1 Paul Toback ’81 —
“If I am elected Student
Senate president, I plan to
institute many new policies
which I believe will benefit
both Student Senate in parti
cular and the entire student
body in general. Some of the
ideas that I would like to
initiate are the following:
First, I would have the
meeting time of the Senate
changed from 12th period to 3
p.m.
SECONDLY, I WOULD
wage an all out campaign to
inform freshmen of what
Student Senate is and what it
does, and I would try to
encourage these freshmen to
join Senate.
Thirdly, one of the most
important things I would do is
that I would publish the
Student Senate minutes so
that the entire school would
know what its representative
organization is doing.
Finally, I would have the
East Senate work with the
Student Senates of both West
and North so as to ensure an
orderly transition of E ast
students to West and North
when East closes in 1980.
WITH THESE POLICIES
instituted, I feel that the East

students more involved in
student government. I also
hope to get students to
exercise their rights more,
such as to make use of the

I have had much experience
in student government. I have

students.”

Fudge is banana split’s secret!
Three luscious scoops of ice
cream, with dripping hot
fudge, mountains of whipped
cream and slices of fresh
banana; who could ask for
more?
The Nilehilite’s special split
tasters went to renowned ice
cream parlors to rate the
quality of the ice cream, fudge,
appearance, and atmosphere.
May the best split win!*
THE BANANA SPLIT at
Swensen’s Ice Cream Factory,
1724 Orrington Ave., Evan
ston, “is what you think of
when you think of an old
fashioned banana split,” said
one satisfied customer. Thirtyone delicious flavors of ice
cream are offered and so are
many different toppings.
The fudge was good. Choco
late sprinkles and a wafer
decorate the creation. The
comparatively new store was
made to look like an old
fashioned ice cream parlor. The
one major flaw was the
service, which was slightly
slow. ($2.40 ***)
The famous hot fudge is
what made the banana split at
The Buffalo, 6000 Dempster,
Morton Grove, rate so well. It
came hot, and in a separate
dish so that the customer
could either swim or merely
wade in it. The ice cream was
good and the sendee was fast
because the waiters memorize
the order.
THE SETTING IS rustic,
with buffalo posters, and
buffalo related articles decorat
ing the walls. This was the
best split we tasted. ($1.85
****)
Homers Ice Cream Compa
ny, 1237 Greenbay Rd., Wil
mette, served a slightly disap
pointing banana split. The
fudge was good, but not hot,
and the ice cream was “okay.”
The atmosphere was nice,
though, and the service was
fast. ($2.10 **)
One would think that after
waiting 30 minutes for our
banana split at Dr. Jazz,
913Vt Chicago Ave., Evanston,
it would have been magnifi
cent. On the contrary, we
found it to be the worst that
we’ve tried. The three scoops
of ice cream were vanilla.
There was not enough fudge
on the split to even rate, and
the whipped cream was a poor
quality.
THE ROOM IS interesting,
though, with a player piano
and silent movies playing on
the walls at night. We would
never order their split again,
although we do recommend
some of their other creations.
($2.25 *)

Bikepaths provide
scenery fo r cyclists
With summer just around
the corner, Americans áre
getting into gear in anticipa
tion for the bicycling season.
When bicycle riding first
became popular, it was be
cause of an interest in
physical fitness. Now, bilges
are used to ride to school and
run errands in less time than it
would take to walk and it is
cheaper than driving.
“TEENAGERS between the
ages of 13 and 16 tend to make
up a large segment of buyers,”
said Rich Evers of Spoke ‘N ’
Ski, 4650 Oakton, Skokie.
“After the age of 16 people do
not ride bicycles as much
because they would rather
drive,” added Evers.
For cyclists who enjoy the
outdoors
and
beautiful
scenery, there are many bikepaths in the Chicagoland area.
The bikepaths are set aside
only for riders; there are no
cars on the paths endangering
the cyclists.
THE FIVE MAIN trails in
the north suburban Chicago
area are the Forest Preserve
Path, the Evanston Lake
Front Trails, the Scenic Illi
nois Prairie Path, the Green
Bay Trail, and the long path
that runs along the Chicago
lake front.
The Forest Preserve Path is
probably best know to East
students. It starts at the
corner of Devon and Caldwell
in Edgebrook and ends at
Lake Street near Harms Road.
The trail passes Par King
miniature golf and the Harmswood Stables. There are plans
to extend this paved path
sometime in the near future.
THE EVANSTON TRAILS
start north of the Lee Street
Beach and extends into north
western Illinois. Some of the
branch trails are on the
Northwestern University cam
pus.
One of the best places for
enjoying the view is along the
Illinois Prairie Paths. The fine
gravel path runs beside an old
scenic railroad. The separate
paths start in Aurora and
Wayne and link together in
Wheaton. The trail then goes
through Wheaton and ends in
Elmhurst.
The Green Bay Trail starts
in south Wilmette and extends
north of the Illinois-Wisconsin
border.
So get your bicycle out of
the basement, and get ready to
enjoy a summer full of cycling.

Trib reporter gives views
by Brian Kamajian
As I was pondering what to
put in the spring issue
of the N ilehilite, someone
suggested the sportswriter
from the Chicago Tribune. Ed
Stone has been reporting
Chicago sports for 18 years,
the last five being with the
Tribune. Since he lives in
Skokie and has a son attend
ing East, I figured I would
give him a call.
“Hello, Mr. Stone, I’m a
humble reporter from Niles
E ast looking for a story.
Could you spare a couple
minutes to chat about a few
things?” I asked feebishly.
“WHY Y E S , SON. What’s
on your mind?” was his
anxious reply. I could tell he
was excited about the chance
to get his name in the
Nilehilite.
“Well, you’ve been covering
Chicago sports for a while, and
m ost recently, the Bears.
What do you think of Chicago
fans?”
“I give the fans of Chicago
credit. They have supported
many teams over the years,
some good, some bad. There
are a lot of fair weather fans
that only come out when
things are going good. But
Chicago also has some people
that come out to the games
rain or shine, real die-hards.
“THERE HASN’T BEEN a
champion in this city for a
long time,” continued Stone,
“and the fans get restless. But
when a team shows some
promise or does well, the
people really get behind them.
For instance, the Bears mak
ing the play-offs last year and
De Paul making the final four
this year really boosted the
city’s morale.”
“Mr. Stone, what is your
opinion about the decision to
remodel Soldier Field and
forgetting about building a
new stadium?”
Stone replied, “It was a
good decision. Mayor Byrne
wouldn’t allow much tax
money to go toward a new
stadium anyway.”
My next question was,

SELLERS BELIEVES that
achieving the goal is just a

breaks in close plays. But he’s
confident that ‘‘with our

“What do you think of this

“The owners are competing
