Voters To Rate Nixon-Mc Govern Campaigns
ALBERT A. SINDLINGER
has made a career of polling
and market research. Sindlinger
and Company Inc., interviews
people by telephone seven days
a week in 400 key countries.
The latest Sindlinger report
based on interviews with 1,312
registered voters shows that 55
per cent favor Nixon, 23 per
cent favor McGovern, 21.4 per
cent are undecided, and .6 per
cent prefer a third candidate or
refuse to answer.
Mr. Sindlinger has discovered
that the major issues of the
f
1972 election, according to the
public are inflation, the war in
Viet Nam, drug abuse, crime,
poverty, and busing. The prob
lem which is of the utmost im
portance in the voters’ mind is
inflation.
THE POLLING INDICATES
that there is a potential vote
of 25.5 million between the ages
of 18-24. About 17 million o'“
them according to surveys had
planned to vote in the post
Democratic Convention period
when Eagleton was still on
the McGovern ticket. The pref-
erence at that time was running
about 70-30 for McGovern. The
latest polls after Eagleton was
dropped show a dramatic
drop of these first time voters
who now plan to get to the
polls. It was down to 12 mil
lion and is now back to 15 mil
lion but the advantage over
Nixon has dropped nearly 10
per cent.
Senator George McGovern will
stake his whole political career
on being able to withdraw forces
and get prisoners out within 90
days after the inauguration. He

“PEOPLE NEED FANTASY
in order to adjust to our com
plex society,” observed Brad
Bentcover, ’73, this year’s di
rector of Reflections, the annual
student variety show.
This universal quality of fan
tasy makes it an interesting as
well as colorful theme for Re
flections. To be titled “Journeys
of the Mind... A Reflection on
Fantasy,” the show will be pre-
sented at 8 p.m. on November
9, 10, and 11 in the Niles East
auditorium. Acts in the show
will concern a specific kind of
fantasy — escapist fantasy —
and attempt to show how it is
connected with r o m a n c e ,
money, and man’s hope for a
better world.

For Homecoming
N ILES EAST W ILL T R Y to veto Niles North this year and
observe “Election ’72” in its homecoming activities tomorrow.
Homecoming chairwoman Karyn Esken promised new and
different homecoming activities which she claims are not centered
around dating as much as they’re focused on student participation.
With the “Election ’72” theme in mind, students will kick off
the weekend with a car caravan through the Skokie area tomorrow
at 9:30 a.m.
THE CARAVAN, KARYN said, will replace the traditional
parade which students in past years have complained of because
of the expense involved. Awards for the best decorated car and
for other unusual but exceptional entries will be given.
Football will be the most active focus of the day. The freshmen
kick off against Northi at 9:30 a.m., the sophomores follow at noon,
and the varsity contest gets underway at 2 p.m.
THE 1972 HOMECOMING Q U EEN and her court will be
announced at the halftime of the varsity game, also an innova
tion this year.
Homecoming will be highlighted tomorrow night with a musical
review presentation by the Jane Addams Hull House Players, a
professional theater company which will present a show entitled,
“It’s An Election Year.”
The show starts at 7:30 in the Easthi Auditorium. Tickets are
$2 in advance and $2.25 at the door.
Before the show, the queen and her court will again be
present.
KARYN SAID THE SELECTIO N of this year’s homecoming
queen will differ from past years with the use of an open ballot.
Votes for any and all candidates will be tallied with finalists
selected from all the entries.
“We want the emphasis in this year’s homecoming to be on
being there,” said Karyn, “instead of being occupied with the
glamorous and the dating aspects of it.”
islature membership has been

It is believed that homeroom

As President, Mr. McGovern
will work with the Department
of Health, Education and Wel
fare to see that the busing or

the busing issue has been exag

The issue of quality education
is how to achieve it — busing
is only one instrument, certain
ly not the most important —
but it is one instrument that
can be used to improve qualitv
education by further breaking
down some of the segregation

PRESIDENT NIXON WILL

How is the show progressing?
Mark Isaacson commented,
“This show is by far the best

Judy Hoffman was optimistic
as well. “It’ll be better than

“I am very pleased with the
exceptional attitude of unity
that surrounds the show. Every

Student Legislature Proposes New Policy
NILES EAST STUDENT LEG

The proposal, which was ap

homeroom delegates. T h i s
change, however, would not al

advocated the proposal, said,
“It is an effort to restore the

once student government’s.”
For the past four years, Leg-

NE FENCERS STRIVE
FOR NCAA TITLE
Any Niles East alumni or
friends paging through the Oc
tober 7 University of Illinois
football program probably rec
ognized a pair of familiar faces
on the program’s full-page ar
ticle on the Illini fencing squad.
Captain of the squad is Sid
Milstein, a 1969 Easthi grad,
who is looked upon as one of
the standout Illini fencers on a
team many regard as capable
of going after the NCAA fenc
ing title.
Milstein will be helped by a
1971 Easthi grad, Alan Acker,
who captured first place in
fencing competition in the state
when he was a senior at Easthi.
Milstein and Acker are prod
ucts of the fencing program at
Easthi under the 12-year direc
tion of industrial arts teacher
Bob Keen.
Keen, who fenced himself at
U. of I., is one of only 12 other
coaches in the state who field
a fencing squad. The team will
begin its new year of compe
tition Dec. 1 and go on to play
16 matches.
The problems Keen faces with
fencing is the general lack of
interest on the part of the
American sports fan to the
sport. Keen must teach his
fencers the very basic aspects
of fencing once they come since
almost none of them have ever
fenced before.
He must mold that talent
from an average of 12 to 24
boys who come out for the
team a far smaller number
than that which comes out for
major sports in the high school.
High school fencing only uses
only the foil, the slim, nonlethal weapon which demands a
variety of wrist movements and
attack techniques. All matches
are scored electronically with
the touch recorded on the pro
tective padding of the fencer.
Mr. Keen is looking forward
to the start of the new season.
He boasts Seniors Bill Osness,
Bill Spitz and Paul Schultz with
junior Ron Rovner on this year’s
squad.
Mr. Keen’s only wish and one
he knows is difficult to handle,
is that the general sports pub
lic would get more interested in
fencing and give fencers the
appreciation they deserve.

Legal
Action
Line
Q. What are the Illinois laws
on hitchhiking? Are they en
forced? — Maine North H. S.
A. State law decrees that “no
person shall stand in a road
way for the purpose of solic
iting a ride from the driver of
any vehicle.” A lot of people
think this means that they’re
safe if they hitchhike from the
sidewalk, or the shoulders of a
highway. They get an unpleas
ant surprise when they’re
busted, and the court tells them
that “roadway” includes side
walks and shoulders. Whether
they will get busted or not de
pends on a lot of things, like
the pokey of the town they’re
in, road conditions, and whether
the police like their looks. But
arrest is always a possibility,
so hitchhike at your own risk.
Q. What is a citizen’s arrest?
Does it hold up in court?
— Maine North H. S.
A. A citizen’s arrest is an
arrest made by a private per
son who knows that a crime
has been committed. Such an
arrest can only be justified in
court when the crime was com
mitted in the presence of the
person making the arrest. A
citizen cannot make an arrest
on mere suspicion. Moreover,
citizen’s arrests can be very
dangerous. If the person you
arrest is not found guilty, he
can turn around and sue you for
everything you’ve got.
Q. Do police have the power
to fire on student demonstrat
ors if they are walkouts, re
fuse to return to class, and are
on school property?
— Oak Lawn H. S.
A. Emphatically NO. Police
are authorized to use reason
able force in making arrests,
but no court in its right mind
would say that shooting at stu
dent walkouts constituted “rea
sonable force.” A policeman
who did fire under such cir
cumstances could be sued for
damages.
Q. Do school administrators
have the power to forbid us to
use our own locks on lockers?
Do they have the right to cut
them off if we do? Do they
have the right to search our
lockers after we pay to use
them?
— Oak Lawn H. S.
A. The 4th Amendment to the
United States Constitution pro
tects citizens against unreason
able search and seizure — and
students are citizens. But note
that only unreasonable searches
are prohibited. If a school has
reasonable grounds for thinking
that a student is concealing
something, a search of his
locker would hold up in court.
“Reasonable
grounds”
can
mean anything from police in
formation to testimony by an
other student.
A principal’s hunch would not
be reasonable grounds, how
ever. A search based on it
would probably be illegal. In
discriminate mass searches are
also illegal, as is a policy of
random locker searches de
signed to scare people. If a
student is using his own lock,
and the school has reasonable
grounds for searching his lock
er, they can force him to re
move the lock. Or they can cut
it off. A policy of automatically
cutting off all personal locks is
questionable, however. Such a
policy might be subject to legal
challenge. But no such case has
ever been brought to court, so
the issue is unresolved.
One may submit questions for
the Legal Action Line to the
Nilehilite.

From O ur R eaders
Sound Off !
Dear Editor,
It may be true that students
at East never had it so well.
Ask anyone from Chicago. But
that doesn’t mean there’s no
room for improvement..
I am questioning the validity
of the article “Don’t Students
Have Enough Rights?” The
writer apparently didn’t even
have the nerve to lay claim to
the article by putting his name
down. He or she never says “I
think such and such,” therefore,
never taking credit for any
opinions.
IS SCHOOL SO BAD that
students must be forced to at
tend? Is every class session so
important such that attendance
must be forced upon a threat
of state law? My answers to
both these questions are maybe
and no, respectively.
I think grades are stressed to
a point where any fun, any
room for experimentation and
creativity by student or teach
er, or even any learning experi
ence is thrown out the window.
Teachers can be very boring
day after day just to make sure
you’ve been briefed on every
thing that will be on the next
test. School becomes a factory
and as Stuart Nelson said last
issue, “ . . .discipline and effi
ciency are more important
than individualism and creative
learning.” School becomes bad
and students don’t want to at
tend and must be forced to.
EVERY CLASS SESSION is
not so important that attend
ance should be required. Take,
for instance, when a teacher is
absent. What can you learn
from a substitute teacher who
doesn’t even know what’s going
on or coming off? What can the
sub teach?
Instead of the strict attend
ance policy, why doesn’t the
administration get together with
the students who want to change
the school and try to make
school attractive to the students
so that the students want to
attend? I’m sure the money
saved could be put to a more
constructive purpose.
AND INSTEAD OF requiring
attendance when a teacher is
absent, instead of wasting mon
ey hiring substitute teachers,
why not just have the students
sign in and be able to leave?
A few noble teachers have tried
such a policy already, and it
has apparently been successful.
In direct answer to “Don’t
Students Have Enough Rights?”
I say no. Rights, as enumer
ated in the Declaration of In
dependence, are life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. School
has taken upon itself to take
away the students’ pursuit of
happiness and liberty — you’d
call what’s left life?
Norman Yoshimura ’73
Dear Editor,
I WOULD LIKE to raise a
question concerning your news-
System Seems Fair
The school system generally is criticized by students who feel
that the new attendance codes are restricting their freedom.
However, most students do not realize what it is like to attend
school in other parts of the country. Niles East is one of the most
open high schools in the state of Illinois. Five years ago, students
did not have Open Campus or semester elective courses. Students
had to be accounted for every minute of the school day. Study
halls existed for people when they did not have class to attend.
However, there is still room for improvement.
DR. CO LVER IS SENDING OUT ballot sheets to teachers to
vote on semester exams. If the proposal is accepted, final exami
nations will be eliminated from the curriculum as a mandatory
one-fourth of the student’s grade. The subject of objectives in the
classroom will be discussed. Each course will be reviewed to learn
if it is serving a true purpose. This could mean some classes
will be abolished, while at the same time new courses are being
instituted.
. , .
, . ,,
. „
Teachers also will be examined on their methods m the class
room. Niles East has far to go, but its progress in the past has
been great.
paper’s policy. I believe that
journalism class is required of
all students wishing to be on
your staff. I, for one, would be
interested in writing for the
Nilehilite, but I have never had
the desire to take the required
journalism course.
I understand that the Nilehi
lite is sorely understaffed this
year, and that a handful of
people are doing most of the
work. If the journalism require
ment was abandoned, I suspect
many more students would par
ticipate in the newspaper, and
that a broader spectrum of
ideas would consequently be
represented.
UP UNTIL THIS YEAR, the
New Free Press has provided
an outlet for students who wish
to become involved in a news
paper writing-editing-layout ex
perience, but did not care to
work directly with the school.
But as the New Free Press
seems to have drawn its last
breath and died, this opportu
nity is no longer available. The
Nilehilite is now the sole out
let for literary-oriented students.
Furthermore, I fail to under
stand the strange logic that is
inherent in your journalism re
quirement. Because a student
has taken the journalism class,
it is assumed that he or she
is an adept writer. Because a
student has not taken the
course, he or she is automati
cally considered a poor writer.
I advocate that some other cri
teria be developed for evaluat
ing a student’s writing abilities.
My suggestions include: 1) Ask
the interested students to sub
mit a sample of his writing;
or, 2) Like the New Free Press,
ask the student body as a whole
to contribute articles, and then,
if there is an over-abundance
of materials, the staff should
decide which articles go in. I
hope you will consider these
proposals.
Thank you,
Sue Brody ’73
Dear Editor,
BEING HALFWAY ACROSS
THE WORLD, in Europe, for
the past two months, time has
completely slipped from my
mind. Here it is October 9, and
it just occurred to me that my
high school has been in session
for over a month now.
As I look back upon my junior year (my last year at East),
I keep trying to remember what
I was doing last year at this
time. For me, fall was always
the most exciting time of yea:,
yet always the most taken for
granted. As Joni Mitchell said,
“You don’t know what you got
’till it’s gone. . .”
FOR ME, IT IS GONE, a
whole year early, and I realize
how much I miss it. I miss
the lVfe months of intense prepa-j
ration for the all-school talent
review “Reflections.” To mosti
students, “Reflections” is just
another one of those “schoolsponsored” activities, and it can
easily be done without. On the
contrary, I feel this is one o£
the most vital activities the
school has to offer. It gives a
fantastic opportunity to almost
one-fourth of the school to offer
some part of themselves into
the production of this show.
“Reflections” is not just a
“show,” rather it is the media,
for displaying the result of 400
human beings coming together
to form one end product. It’sI
like a big puzzle where the
larger pieces have no more
value than the small ones, for
without each and every piece,
the puzzle would be incomplete.[
I wish to extend my best
wishes to all those involved is
the show. I wish I could be
there to see it, but my thoughts
will be with everyone on open
ing night. Good luck.

NE Straw Poll Picks Winners

Students Faculty Parents Contribute
BY LAURA MILLER
Recent election polls have
shown
McGovern trailing
Nixon, and the results of a
survey of Niles East faculty,
students, and their parents
were no exception.
Conducted by Mr. DeJonge’s
fourth period Biographical U.S.
History class, the poll sampled
reactions to four political con
tests.
ONE HUNDRED and eightytwo students from Mr. Miya’s
Western Civilization and Euro
pean APP courses, and Mr.
DeJonge’s U.S. History classes
were included in the survey.
Eighty-eight parents and eighty
faculty members also partici
pated.
In the presidential sweepstakes, the vote was quite close
with Nixon winning 58 per cent
of the parent’s sample and Mc
Govern 53 per cent of the stu
dents’. The three-quarters of the
faculty which responded split
down the middle on this deci
sion. In the final analysis,
Nixon held the edge by less
than one per cent.

RACES FOR THE governor*
ship, U.S. Senate, and U.S.
Representative were m o r e
clear-cut.
Walker received 58 per cent
of the total vote carrying every
group, but especially was fa
vored by the parents.
Percy and Mikva each won
landslide victories in their con
tests by 81 per cent and 73 per
cent respectively.
WHEN THESE results are
projected, several conclusions
can be reached. This year
voters are going to split their
tickets as is evidenced b’r
usually Democratic Skokians
supporting two out of four
Republican candidates in the
poll.
McGovern’s chances of a
strong showing are very slim
because he is not attracting as
much of the youth vote as ex
pected. If he can’t handle a
liberal Democratic suburb, he
has little chance of capturing
this divided state.
Whether Walker or Ogilvie
will win is difficult to deter
mine from this poll despite
Walker’s strong lead in this
area:
PERCY APPEARS to be
heading for a landslide victory.
Mikva also seems very popular
and should do welt if he can
carry the more conservative
townships.
The poll has several weak

As senior Harry Scampeezee’s trembling hands forced
open the door to the school of
fice, he felt the familiar gust
of icy air conditioning which
through some accident in engi
neering seemed to contain it
self solely in the offices of ad
ministrators.
“EXCUSE ME,” he said, try
ing to get the secretary’s at
tention. She was oblivious to his
words, busily tallying all the
blue attendance cards just
turned in by the homeroom
teachers. After this, she began
the process of carefully licking
stamps for the truancy reports
that were to be sent home. Af
ter unsticking her gluey tongue
from the roof of her mouth,
Harry heard her muttering in-

between licks, “Hundreds of
bucks they spend on stamps
and letters to tell parents that
their children may be truant
but probably aren’t, and my
salary is still the size of a pin
hole. . .”
HARRY SAT down unnoticed
and began to think of why
they could possibly have called
him down to the office. His
grades were always good. With
every absence Harry’s mother
religiously called Student Ac
counting. He always checked in
with the nurse, even after or
thodontist appointments, and he
never lit cigarettes on School
Street. He even was known
among the lunchroom supervi
sors for cleaning up other peo
ple’s garbage as well as his
own.
“May I help you?” the secre
tary cut into his thoughts.
“Uh. . . I’m Harry Scampeezee and. . .”
“AH YES. . . Scampeezee. .
Go right to the dean, Mr. Dul
lard. There was supposed to be
a guidance counselor here to
speak to you too, but everyone
in guidance is busy with cleri
cal work to help out the com
puter. The poor machine’s been
so over-loaded with all these
attendance cards, you know.”
She sighed as she returned to
her stamp-licking exercise.
“Come in, Scampeezee,” bel
lowed Mr. Dullard in a forcibly
goodnatured tone.
HARRY LOOKED around for
somewhere to sit. “Is there any
thing the matter with me, sir?”
Harry was careful not to make
the “sir” sound too sarcastic.
“Yes, Harry. I’m afraid you’ll
not be graduating next week.”
‘What?” This was beyond

“Can’t you run it through

Have Fun in the Sun
Ski Style
BY MICHELE FREED
You really don’t have to-be
a skier to spend a vacation at
a ski resort. The ski resort is
a way of life. A snow way of
life. Most resorts offer plenty
of other things to do: skating,
tobogganing, sleigh riding, sau
nas, and swimming pools. Even
outdoor heated pools and sun
bathing. That’s right, sunbath
ing at a ski resort.
Some of the best skiing in the
world is to be found in the
Rockies, the highest mounatins
in the U.S. Places to ski in the
Rockies are Vail, Aspen Ski
Complex, Steamboat, Brenckenridge, Winter Park, Jackson
Hole, and Taos Ski Valley.
NESTLED AMONG the Alps,
oldest and highest mountains in
the western world, are the
quaint, cozy, modern, and upto-date ski resorts of Switzer
land, Austria, France, and Italy.
Why not ski the slopes of the
mighty Alps in Arosa, Davos,
Engelberg, Grindelwald, St. Mor
itz, Verbier, and Zermatt?
Without serious challenge, St.
Moritz is the greatest of all
winter resorts for people who
don’t ski at all. You can watch
some of the most famous win
ter spectator sports: horse rac
ing in the snow, bob sledding
down the famous Cresta bob
run, night ski jumping compe
titions, and you can even learn
how to ski at excellent schools.
HERE ARE SOME answers
to the most frequently asked
questions about skiing in Eur
ope:
Should I bring my own gear
or rent it when I get to Europe?
Renting is not expensive, but
if you’ve got good gear and
would feel lost without it, bring
it.
Are lift tickets expensive in
Europe?

“B. . .BUT MR. DULLARD!

my Merit
Scholarship! What do I do?”
“First of all, I suggest we
look at this maturely. Now
think. If we ran everything as
trivial as this through the com
puter, how would we possibly
have the time for the really
important matters? Not to even
mention our staggering econom
ic losses. . .and you know how
tight our budget is. I really
called you in today so that we
could work out some sort of
schedule for you next year as
you will be returning here to
make up your missing cred
it. . .” With this Mr. Dullard
proceeded to plot out a rerun
of courses.
THIS COULD only be a
dream, Harry attempted to re
assure himself as he felt his
shaky legs leading him to the
door.
The dean’s cheerful voice
brought him back to reality.
“Don’t let this worry you, son.
One more year here never real
ly killed anybody. Oh. . .on
your way out, could you take
these attendance cards to the
computer and ask the lady to
run them through again? It’s
really funny. This is the eighth
time we’ve had to run them
through, and each time the blue
coloring comes out too dark.
What do you think about pink
attendance cards, Scampeezee?”

FRIDAY OCTOBER 27
Lift tickets are less expensive
in Europe then they are in the
U.S.
When would be the best time
to go?
November and December are
good times to brush up on your
skiing, and there are fewer peo
ple in the lift lines. Late De
cember brings Christmas of
course, and it’s a beautiful time
to be in Europe. (Most of us
are limited to that time because
of school.) Snow conditions are
at their best during January
and March. February is the
busiest month, therefore more
expensive.
How much will this trip cost
me?
Of course the amount varies
according to where you stay,
but if you plan economically,
and perhaps go on a package
deal, a week in Europe should
cost you no more than $350.
Maybe even cheaper.
SAY GOODBYE to dull, grey
winter weeks. Europe will give
you a week to remember.
Globetrotters
Amaze Crowd
Only the littlest of children
were really enthused as the
Harlem Globetrotters took the
floor to show off their hilarious
hijinks against the hapless
Boston Shamrocks, but as the
crowd watched starry-eyed at
the trotters’ opening warmup,
the capacity crowd quickly
came to life.
MEADOWLARK
LEMON,
Fred (Curly) Neal, Bobby Joe
Mason, Leon Hillard,
and
Hubert (Geese) Ausbie put on a
ballhandling show that caught
everyone’s eye. Now, even
those who knew the game was
staged were on the edge of their
seats clapping at Curly Neal’s
superb dribbling and Bobby Joe
Mason’s deadly shooting.
Other stirring performances
were those by Trotters Bob
(Showboat) Hall, (veteran of
twenty three campaigns), Pab
lo Robertson, Mel Davis, (who
doubles as coach), Bobby
Hunter, and Jumpin’ Jackie
Jackson. Dave Amundson and
Sam Sawyer were tremendous
for the Shamrocks.
THERE WAS A LOT more to
the evening than just basket
ball. A team of cyclists enter
tained the pre-game crowd and
during halftime a table tennis
match was held between U.S.
champion Bob Ashley and Daryl
Flann, Canadian star. They
were followed by a juggling act
and comic ballet.
Though
the
Globetrotters
eventually won 98-83, the score
didn’t matter very much as the
crowd left thoroughly satisfied
and totally amazed.
