A B N E R J. M IK V A
I am running for Congress because a
seat in the House of Representatives
will enable me to exercise the levers of
change that can help solve the prob
lems confronting our nation.
M Y C A M P A IG N has been based on
these principles: Openness, candor, and
the belief that our country can do
better.
I have made disclosure of all my
income, assets and liabilities. I have
listed every contributor whether they
gave $1 or $1,000. No contributions
over $3,000 were accepted.
I H A V E A L S O concentrated on
presenting clear, reasonable proposals
to voters on the issues they are
concerned with — the economy, educa
tion, crime, environment, health care,
public transportation, consumer pro
tection, ana assistance for senior
citizens.
Congress must act now to cut federal
spending by eliminating waste in the
military budget. Unnecessary highway
programs and space research should be
cxirtdilod
CO N G RESS M U S T also enforce the
antitrust laws, reform the tax system
and channel credit to mortgages and
small business loans.
The biggest problem in schools is
financing by property tax. W e need a
new system for financing education —
not an increase in taxes.
IN C R E A S E D F E D E R A L funding is
a part of the answer. Another source of
funds would be provided by closing the
blatant loopholes in the federal tax
system. Another source would be
taking money out of highway construc
tion and putting it into schools. The
education built must be as good as the
highways.
Congress must give the Environmen
tal Protection Agency the support to
enforce the present clean water and air
legislation. I t also must provide laws
for noise pollution from airports.
E V E N T H E B E S T private insuran
ce, nine out of 10 American families will
be financially ruined if hit by a serious
illness. The first thing we have to do is
provide funds for new hospitals and
medical schools. W e also need a
comprehensive national health insuran
ce plan.
W e need a transfer o f funds from the
highway trust to the needs o f mass
transit, including operating subsidies
to keep suburban bus and commuter
train lines from collapsing.
R IG H T N O W T H E R E are more
than 200 separate government con
sumer protection programs. W hat we
need is an independent Consumer
Protection Agency, one that will be a
lawyer for the consumer and represent
consumer needs in court and before
other federal agencies.
Growing older is the one thing that
happens to all of us. W e must improve
the social security system. There must
be a higher limit on the money senior
citizens can earn without losing social
security benefits. Men must be given
the same opportunity as women to
collect social security at the age of 62.
Young platform

Y O U N G ’S T W O -Y E A R T E R M in
Congress dealt mainly with local
problems, but he broadened to such
national issues as the economy and
Friday, October 25, 1974
campaign reform. On the issue of
campaign spending, Young supports a
spending limitation in the House of
Representatives of $100,000. He also is
in support of limiting contributions to
persons living or working in the
Congressional district.
On taxes the Congressman opposes
any net increase in Federal taxation,
but he favors changes to make Federal
tax simple, and more equitable. He also
opposes elimination of tax deductions
for interest payments and real estate
taxes by homeowners.
In terms of Federal Housing Subsi- j)
dies he supports programs that work
and are reasonable in amount. Young 1
also feels there should be a stimulation
of the housing supply by private •
industry through accelerated deprecia- f
tion and favorable credit assistance. He
also
opposes
Federal
subsidized'
housing in any community that does'
not request such assistance.
C O N C E R N IN G T H E IS S U E OF
labor, Young supports unions and
collective bargaining. He thinks that
wage increases should be tied to
productivity. He would like to impose
responsibilities on unions to commen-‘|
surate with their economic power, j
Young feels that union policies of'
restrictive provisions, limiting amounts1
of work and requiring o f “ extra”
employees are bad. He also opposes'
right to strike of essential public
employees.
On the defense of the country, Young j
supports a strong national defense^
second to none. He also supports cuts'
in military spending where possible. H e1
thinks the biggest opportunity for
savings in defense is in “ personal”
costs

Representatives John Kelly (East),
Sy Zolke (W est), and Sheldon Puzes
(North), from the Space-Site and
Facilities Committee of the three
buildings presented recommendations
for approval to the Board of Education
at the last meeting (October 14). Board
discussion following the three reports
ended with a unanimous vote to direct
the administration to present them
with additional information before a
final vote is taken.
C O M M IT T E E PE R SO N S including
lay citizens, principals, and athletic
directors have been working together
since February, 1974, to locate the
needs of the three buildings.
John Kelly, E ast’s representative,
made three “ statements of need” when
he voiced the request for an additional
gym, the acquisition of 132,000 sq. ft.
adjacent to the school, and a new pool.

IN S U P P O R T O F the requests,
K elly quoted the North Central A s
sociation Report when he said “ facili
ties have been outgrown and there is a
need for expansion” in the athletics
department. From October through
March, gymnastic equipment remains
in the g irl’s gym severely limiting
space for PE instruction and athletics.
The lack o f storage space for athletic
equipment presents door exit hazards
and blockage. In solution the commit
tee suggested that a gym be built
above the current locker room at an
estimated cost of $400,000.

outdoor practice area for football,
soccer, baseball, and softball teams, the
committee recommended approval of
the acquisition of 132,000 sq. ft. of land
adjacent to the school at a cost of
$897,000.
L A S T L Y , in a recommendation to
build a $750,00 pool, Kelly said that the
Central Suburban League decided that
the Niles East pool “ could not be used
for diving purposes” in competition.
This decision followed an incident in
which “ a girl sustained a head injury,
while using the diving facilities.”
Board discussion centered around
requests for further information from
the administration before voting on
any o f the proposed ameliorations.
Member Fred Minkus said, “ For me to
reach a conclusion as to expenditures
concerning several million dollars, I
would certainly like to have additional
input within a short time frame.”
Further concern was expressed over
the demographic study being made
which will provide projections of
enrollment and be considered by the
Board in its decision. Moch said, “ I
think it is a hindrance to wait until the
report is in,” as according to Dr.
W esley Gibbs, “ the study probably will
be submitted to the Board by January
1975.”
In opposition, Member James Gottreich questioned the validity of rush
ing into a decision as “ we are faced
with declining enrollment’ ’ and it would
be “ foolhardy” to consider such moves
if projected enrollment shows a decline.
IN O T H E R C O N S ID E R A T IO N S ;'
the Board voted to recognize the Folk
Music Club at East and unanimously;
approved the band exchange.
Mr. Galen Hosier, music director,;
explained to the Board that the March
transfer trip to the Tenafly High
School in New Jersey “ will not cost th e :
district anything” and that students
will pay all expenditures remaining
after the fund-raising activities.
IN A 6-1 VO TE, the Board approved •
the drawing up o f a building contract;
for a “ model traffic and safety educa-i
tion demonstration center.” The goal of
the request is to provide “ the best!
possible safety education instruction j
for all students” from kindergarten to]
12th grade and selected adults. High]
school students, should the Board
approve the proposal, will be transpor
ted to the Center for their driver j
education classes. Grammar school]
students will be instructed in all phases
of traffic safety including snowmobiles1
and mini bikes.
The dollar figure ascribed to this
expenditure is $500,000 and will be|
funded through the federal government]
through the state department of ins
truction should the Board approve it.
S U P E R IN T E N D E N T G IB B S, in
support o f the validity o f such a
program, said “ the operation o f a
traffic safety center will always be at
least as efficient if not more efficient
than the driver education program as
we have now.”
The Board meets again on Monday,
at 7:30 p.m.

Congressional election: Young or Mikva?
Cong. Young
expresses vital
interest - Economy
]\ew vibrancy
represented
by Ulikva
by Cynthia Payne
Washington is focusing on Chicago’s
North Side race between Republican
Sam Young and Democrat Abner
M ikva as the most crucial congres
sional election in the country in 1974.
A M E R IC A ’ S F U T U R E economic
livelihood, primarily determined by
Congress, is a subject in which these
two candidates hold opposing views.
The impact of this critical subject must
be realized by everyone.
Young, who contends that excessive
federal spending is a major cause of
inflation, voted to sustain all president
ial spending vetoes in the 93rd
Congress. Through his tireless efforts
to maintain a low federal budget
ceiling, he received a “ W atchdog of the
Treasury” award.
Y E T , M I K V A V O T E D consistently
against annual budget ceilings while in
Congress from 1968-1972, and support
ed bills that would have increased
federal spending.
Although economic policy is not the
only dispute of national concern, the
people o f the 10th Congressional
District must realize that the heart of
many issues is M O N E Y .
G U A R A N T E E D IN C O M E , federally
subsidized housing, enabling “ low and
moderate income families to purchase
housing beyond their means,” the
Kennedy-Griffith Health Security A ct,
and subscription to A F L -C IO COPE
pressures are factors leading to the
economic bankruptcy o f this country.
M ik va ’s records and statements illus
trate his patronage to all o f the
aforementioned issues and pressures.
These social reform and labor pro
grams are popular. Moreso, they
represent ID E O L O G IC A L F O O L IS H
NE SS at this time.
A F T E R S C A N D A L S such as the
one involving “ milk money” , campaign
funding became of significant concern.
Much of the funding for M ik va ’s
1972 campaign was received from labor
union political action committees in
and out of Illinois.
Interestingly, in a December, 1973,
publication o f the Pick-Wick news
paper, he was quoted as saying that
“ special interests manipulate politi
cians through campaign contribu
tions.” W ho will “ manipulate” M ikva
if he wins this Congressional seat?
W hat special interests will “ tug on the
hook” ?
S IN C E O CTOBER, 1973, through the
primary election, every contribution
accepted by Young has been from an
individual for less than $1,150. In a
Report of Receipts and Expenditures
dated September 10, 1974, the Con
gressman reported that the $2,600 he
received from “ several sources other
than individuals” were promptly re
turned to their donors.
I t seems not only hypocritical, but
ironic to listen to comments made by
the people in this district. Incessant
remarks and complaints concerning the
unfortunate predicament Americas’
middle class finds itself in with
increasing taxation dominates political
discussion.
Surprisingly, the same people reject
You ng’s efforts to stabilize national
spending.
Y O U N G DOES N O T subscribe to
the liberal tendencies of other politi
cians today. He does not support
decriminalization of marijuana, total
gun disarmament, and a national
health service (complete with a price
tag of more than $60 billion) financed
through general revenue. Such pro
grams are a sampling o f those support
ed by the Americans for Democratic
Action (A D A ), one of the most
ultra-liberal groups in the country of
which M ikva has been vice-chairman
since 1970.
Young does not flatly disregard the
most treacherous of all problems facing
the country today — rising inflation.
T H IS E L E C T IO N is not to be taken
lightly. The impact and direct contribu
tion these programs can make to the
deterioration of Americas’ economy

Will East have a hockey team?
A . For the first time East will have a
hockey team in the North Suburban
Hockey League. A ll four grades will be
combined into one team which will hold
its first practice on November 2 at the
Skatium. For interested students,
membership fees range between $100
and $150 as equipment must be
purchased individually.
and counselors are there at East?
A . East employs 142 teachers (Libra
rians and social workers included), of
which 81 are men and 61 are women; 13
administrators of which three are
women; and eight counselors, two
being women.
Q. W hat happened to the music that
was piped into the cafeteria?
A. Last year Mr. Henrici’s work study
classes pursued that as an extra
curricular activity. I f students are
interested in reviving the music and
can find a faculty sponsor, Miss Jo
Morris, Building Manager, would be
glad to see it get started again this
year.
Q. W hy was homeroom policy changed
this year so that each class level meets
regularly once a week?
A . The rationale behind the policy
change was that students, through the
new system are given the opportunity
to get information helpful to them now
and in the future. Toward this end,
senior homerooms are geared to pro
vide college and scholarship informa
tion critical to making successful
college choices.
Q. W hy are girls’ gym classes graded
with letters rather than on a pass-fail
system as the boys’ classes are?
A . The administration is presently
working on a grade scale for boys like
that already in existence in the girls’
department.
Q. H ow many teachers, administrators,
Q. W hat happened to the coke
machine in the boy’s locker room?
A . The machine was placed in the
coaches’ room where it was located
originally. Because cans were left lying
in the locker room, and the possibility
of vandalism existed, it was thought
best to move it.
F eed ba ck
Coach cites lack o f dedication
Dear Editor:
I was very disappointed when I read
your Sport Spotlight article, How
About Recruiting? I felt that Mr.
Weinstein should have received some
first hand information from one of the
football coaches, but not one coach was
approached. I f this procedure would
have been followed, you would have
found out that the physical education
phone was kept busy many a day early
in August. Coaches were calling boys
with a special athletic talent to help
improve the football squad. Unfortuntely, few decided to make the effort to
work out in August heat.
There are dedicated and hardworking
students in the school, many of them
are participating in football this year.
But many good athletes have fallen by
the wayside. This has occurred N O T
because of the lack of asking them to
come out, but because of a lack of
dedication. This year’s seniors had a
record of 3-5 overall and 3-2 in the
conference as sophomores. O f those 40
original boys, only 11 remain. For the
most part, the other 29 are working,
supporting cars, or roaming Trojan
Hall.
I agree that there are “ good” football
prospects in the hallways at Niles East,
but simply asking them to come out
does not work because it has been tried
many a time. They are just too “ busy.”

Assembly - great!
Dear Editor:
In the past few years, Niles East
Homecoming Pep Assemblies have
been on the boring side. But finally,
this year there was something different,
and I think the students appreciated
the effort that was expended by
Homecoming chair-person M ary Unruh. Both pep assemblies were excel
lent, especially the first one and the
turnout and participation was great.
I think the twilight assembly suffer
ed from bad weather, but production
was again excellent.
M ary Unruh should be commended
for her outstanding efforts.
Name withheld upon request
Abner Mikva, is a responsive, liberal
former Congressman. He lost to Repub
lican Sam Young, two years ago, in the
closest election this district has ever
seen. The Democratic party backed
“ A b ” again with complete faith and
confidence. They know he can win this
10th district on his reforming, progres
sive platform.
Sam Young, another sheep o f the
Republican party, has been totally
ineffective in Congress. The man
Richard Nixon said that he needed in
Congress, (but who needs Nixon), has
been an avid supporter of the former
President and has echoed many o f the
administration’s policies. Mr. Young]
virtually just sits in a chair on the
Republican side of the aisle. When
“ honest” A b was in Congress from a
|
different district (which incidently does!
not exist anymore), he introduced
hundreds of pieces of legislation,
speaking out for his constituents and
his beliefs. He was unhappy with the
Nixon administration and was not
surprised in its corrupt practices.
O N T H E C O N T R O V E R S IA L par
don: Spiro Agnew was indicted, convic
ted, and received an indirect pardon.
Mr. M ikva spoke against this power oi
justice. Co-conspirators in the W ater
gate affair were indicted, convicted,
and given petty sentences; Mr. Mikva
was against this exercise of justice.1
Richard Nixon, our former president,
guilty in the eyes of the public of
extreme wrong-doings, recommended
for impeachment, gets away with his
majesties corruption. Mr. M ikva would
like to see justice prevail. Can one have
a pardon before an indictment? How
can a pardon be received if one is
innocent?
Even though parts of A b ’s platform
seem to be controversial here at Niles
East, few seem to disagree with his
outstanding ideas. The last definite
steps to stop inflation, a national
health insurance plan, cutting military]
spending, a strong ecology program,
and more political reform especially in
contribution to elections.
M O S T C O N T R O V E R S IA L though
is Mr. M ikva’s stand on gun control
He believes in the control of hand guns
by stopping the massive manufacturing
of them and also the sale of guns. The
weekend of October 12, 80 gun killings
occurred here in our county, a record
How can anyone in his right mind be
opposed to M ikva’s position on hanc
guns. “ Saturday Night Specials” are
made for one thing alone, to concea.
and kill.
W hat our Congress needs is nev
vibrancy and vitality. L et’s not sene
back a man who’s going to carry a
lackadaisical, laissez-faire attitude. L e t’s
bring into the House some new young
blood and some representation o f his
fairminded constituents here in the
10th District.

IM A G IN E FO R 24 days
existing without the everyday
conveniences most people de
pend on. Is it possible? Cindy
Trawinski survived.
She attended the Minnesota
Outward Bound School in
W ayzata Minnesota, one of six
such schools in the U.S., of
which offers many unusual
experiences.
A F T E R FO U R W E E K S of
prescribed physical prepara
tion, Cindy joined five girls
and two instructors in a course
designed to foster both mental
and physical growth.
Wake-up time was 6 a.m.
Before breakfast, Cindy and
the others had to run three to
five miles, capped o ff with a
dip in freezing lake water.
N E X T , IF T H E G R O U P was
at its home base, they learned
wilderness and survival skills.
Training
included
climb
ing rocks and ropes. Cindy
learned to climb flat-surfaced
rocks straight up by being
dropped halfway down a cliff
over Basswood Lake, from
which she had to climb back if
she wanted to get back up.
In one episode of rope
climbing and crawling over a
huge playground of ropes up
to 60 feet high and 100 feet
long between tress, Cindy fell.
Even with a line tied to the
ropes, Cindy still had to climb
10 feet up her own line.
A F T E R S K IL L S T R A I N
IN G , the group went out on
the trail. A fter four days of
daysalone in Wilderness
canoeing 50 miles or more, they
were prepared for whitewater
canoeing (through river rapids)
and life-saving training.
T h eir “ lo n g e x p e d itio n ”
(14 days), offered practical
experience in canoeing, and
rock climbing skills. To get to
their different destinations, the
group hiked through Quetico
Provincial Park (across the
Canadian border),
carrying
packs of 80-100 lbs. of clothes,
dried food, utensils, sleeping
bags, and tents.
T H E H A R D E S T P A R T OF
the “ long expedition” and of
the whole course, was the
“ Solo” , Cindy said. For the
“ Solo” , each of the girls were
taken to an area in which they
were to remain alone for three
days.
They were allowed to wear
all the clothes they could get
on. (Temperatures were sub
freezing.) Food rations for the
three days included one cup of
grain, one packet of salt, and
three pieces of dried vegetable
protein that resembled dog
biscuits, according to Cindy.
O N T H E F IR S T D A Y of
“ solo” , it rained and Cindy
slept in a shelter she built
between two rocks with sticks,moss and pine needles.
Every few hours she would
w ake up, sh iverin g , w ith
nothing she could do but go
back to sleep.
The next two days were
sunny and Cindy passed time
by laying out on an inlet in the
lake where the sun kept her
warm, and by writing in her
journal. Occasionally it would
rain, but only for a short while.
N E IT H E R
R A IN
NOR
CO LD could dampen Cindy’s
spirits, nor did she suffer any
injury while on “ solo.” This
was fortunate because every
one was given a whistle to use
to call for help or to simply
quit “ solo” if that was what
they wanted. A ll they had to
do was “ just toot your whistle.
I lost mine,” Cindy recalled.
“ Solo” apparently left its
mark on the girls. They were
so happy at the prospect of
being with people again, that
they left their assigned areas
early. Discussing the happy
reunion scene, Cindy recalled
that “ you couldn’t recognize
your own voice after not
talking for three days.” One
girl had been so eager to rush
time along during “ solo” that
she sang all one thousand
verses of “ 1000 Bottles of Beer
on the W all.”
TO R E T U R N FR O M their
“ Solo” locations to the home
base was the “ final expedtion” for the group.
W ith o u t in stru ctors, the
girls and the boys of their
b roth er
b riga d e
(T h e
M in n esota O u tw ard Bound
School limits coed courses to
18 years and older, but had
b o y s ’ and g ir ls ’ courses
scheduled simultaneously) who
had joined them “ shot whitew a te r” throu gh dangerous
rapids on the way back to
home base.

work up to cooking fulll meals
by the end of the semester.
Thanksgiving will give them
the opportunity to prepare a
complete holiday feast.
FROM
A
P R A C T IC A L
standpoint, Miss Vander W ilt
states the cou rse’ s main
objectives are “ getting some
kitchen know-how in preparing
foods, working witn equip
ment, and learning the princi
ples of cooking and nutrition.”
Am ong the boys, many
diversified reasons for taking
the course were presented.
O N E S T U D E N T said “ I
needed the credit, but it ’s not
b a d ,” w h ile Junior D a v id
Silver added “ I like cooking.
I t ’s a hobby and I like doing
it.”
Some boys just want to
learn to cook, as Junior Brian
Greenberg said, “ so I can be a
bachelor.”
S E N IO R J A Y N O V IC K
shared the same views as
Greenberg, adding the fact
that he “ heard it was a good
class, and I would get free
meals.”
Junior Bert Pearlman has
been cooking for two years and
hopes to make it a career. Two
former students have gone on
to baking or chef school,
according to Miss Vander
W ilt.
IN IT S T H IR D Y E A R as a
part of the curriculum, chef
class enrollment has increased
greatly, to its present first
semester total of 70 boys.
Although there are no girls
enrolled in the class, it is open
to both boys and girls of junior
or senior status.
“ W E T R Y TO H A V E a
good time,” said Miss Vander
W ilt. She hopes to have the
kitchen remodeled by next
year, and to purchase some
new equipment which would
include a microwave oven and
some institutional equipment
that will enable the students to
cook for larger crowds.
In the future Miss Vander
W ilt would like to see the chefs
class expanded to a “ single
survival” class to teach such,
actu al life n ecessities as
“ sewing, childcare, the kit
chen, and consumerism.”
Cindy Trawinski
The following day provided
the final events in the course.
The “ marathon” and debrief
ing of the whole experience.
Each b riga d e (g ir ls and
boys), had to get its members
over a 13 foot wall in whatever
manner they could figure out.
A beam walk between trees,
seven and a half feet long, and
one final canoe trip ended the
marathon.

TH E N E X T D A Y, Cindy
and the others returned to
their homes with practical
skills, new friends, and physi
cal and emotional growth.
After spending what Cindy
described, “ the best time of
her whole life,” she summed it
all up in just a few words; “ In
the beginning I wondered why
I ever came, by the end, I
didn’t want to go.”
There’s always
something to
COOL W E A T H E R A N D
F A L L annually bring with
them, a plethora of indoor
events, concerts, and new and
re-released movies.
C on certs w ill p ro v id e a
major portion o f this fall’s
entertainment with such art
ists as Elton John, George
Harrison, and Stevie Wonder
returning to Chicago.
IF T H E $6.50 A N D U P
price for concert tickets seems
a bit steep, television has some
outstanding entertainment in
store this fall. Am ong movies
to be shown is the biggest hit
of them all, “ The Godfather,”
which NBC will show for two
nights in November.
PB S (Channel 11), will soon
begin a series of hour-long
concerts Saturday nights at 9.
The program, “ Soundstage,”

�Merit Semi-Finalists outlooks vary greatly
N in e N a tio n a l M e r it S em i-F in a lists am ong 15,000 throu ghou t
the country, were named in September from Niles East by the National Merit
Scholarship Competition.
Criterion determining the eligibility o f all students mainly involved their
performance on P S A T -N M S Q T test score.
Nineteen commended
Nineteen students from Niles East are among the 38,000
commended throughout the country for their high performance on
the 1973 P S A T -N M S Q T Test. These students, although in the
upper two per cent of those expected to graduate from high
school in 1975, had scores just below those of the 15,000
semi-finalists.
TH O S E W H O R E C E IV E D Letters of Commendation are:
Mark A . Bandy, Howard L. Chabner, Alan M. Ellenby, Ira A.

Susan R. Sohn, and Martin H. Tish.
Tony Tumonis is treasurer of
Medical Careers Club and hopes
to continue in the medical field at
Northwestern. She would like to
specialize in psychiatry. She also
enjoys intramural sports. Tony
concedes that it was an honor to
be chosen as a semi-finalist, but
added ‘ ‘A ll I kept thinking about
was that it was only a score on a
test. I t doesn’t tell anything
about the classes you’ve taken in
school.”
Jim is a personable young man
who enjoys the outdoors and is
very interested in the further
study o f biology. He is presently
technical director of Reflections
and is also a member o f the
concert and stage bands. He is
unsure of where he is going to
college.
M arty Fisher who is ‘happy to
be a semi-finalist,” is planning on
attending Northwestern as a
pre-m ed student. T h is honor
might mean a scholarship from
the National M erit Scholarship
C o rp oratio n or from eith er
N o rth w estern or W a s h in gto n
University, his second college
choice.

success on the P S A T -N M S Q T
tests “ is exciting and it is honor,

Paul Saltzman, one of the
Merit-Scholar Semi-finalists, is
‘ ‘happy to know he has been
accepted to Grinnell College in
Grinnell, Iowa. ‘ ‘Everyone I ’ve
talked to who has attended the
college, has simply loved it.” Paul
also has considered Stanford
College in California. His possible
vocational pursuits may include
journalism or psychology.
” 1 don’t put a tremendous
amount of emphasis on it. I t will
help me though.” M ark’s college
preferences are Harvard, North

gram, Washington in St. Louis,
the U. of Pennsylvania, and the
U. of Chicago. Although he plans
to be a doctor, Mark is not sure of
what area he will specialize in.

JYILEHILITE-
Defense sparkles
offense stagnant
by Jeff Weinstein
E a s t’ s H om ecom in g was
spoiled last Saturday by the
Niles North Vikings when they
defeated the Trojans 14-0 at
Issacson Field.
ONCE A G A IN T H E Easthi
offense was non-existent, while
the North offense chipped
away for two touchdowns.
This proved to be more than
enough to get by the hapless
Trojans. The spark plug of the
V ik in g a tta ck was S te ve
Friedrichs, who constantly was
turning the corner on running
plays for big yardage. He also
scored a crucial touchdown for
the Vikes.
A s usual the Trojans played
good defense, but even the
best defense can’t win without
any o ffen se. One o f the
problems the Trojans had last
week was the loss of top league
center Dean Pueschel, who
sprained his ankle early in the
first quarter.
C O A C H M I C K E W IN G
was calling the plays from the
sidelines, and it seemed as if
the gridders had only two
plays in their book. One was a
qu arterback ro ll out w ith
either a pitch to the trailing
back Greg Salterelli or quarter
back Adam Retzler would keep
the ball himself and turn
upfield for a gain. The second
was a o ff tackle run by either
Salterelli or Henry Rollick. A
team needs more than two
plays to run a good offense.
Passes by East seemed few
and far between. The one bit of
excitment that was generated
out of the Easthi offense for
the day was a bomb from back
up quarterback Ralph De
Benadeto to junior wide re
ceiver Gary W o lf for a 30-yard
gain. The drive was killed on
the next play when De Bena
deto was intercepted by a
lineman after his pass was
tipped high into the air.
For the remainder o f the
game the ball changed hands
and the game ended with the
Trojans behind 14-0.
T H E B IG G E S T E X C IT
M E N T of the day came after
the game when a fight broke
out between the two teams for
reasons unknown. A fter a few
minutes the fight was stopped
when cooler heads prevailed.
Tw o weeks ago the Trojans

Sport Spotlight-
Soccer needs fans
by Ed Jacobs
Three years ago soccer
was in trodu ced on the
in tersch o lastic le v e l at
Easthi. In the three years
since its inception soccer
has enjoyed a steady rise in
its success to where at this
point it is rated on par with
m any o f the so-called
powers of the area.
B U T W IT H T H IS rise in
success one element in the
process of building up a
successful program has
been sorely lacking, that
element is of course fans.
One reason for the lack of
fans can be found in this
statement by East Athletic
Director James Swanson.
“ Football and baseball are
really the major sports in
America and soccer just
hasn’t caught on yet, but I
really think it will because
it ’s an exciting game.”
Another possible reason
for the sparsity of crowds
could be the relatively few
home games. I f the recom
mendations of the district
space/site committee are
approved by the Board, the
soccer team will eventually
have a home base to play
their games and to practice
at, but as it stands now the
soccer team must hold its
practice sessions at Niles
W est and also hold many of
its games on away fields.
EVEN UNDER A D V E R S E
conditions our soccer team
has performed admirably
thus far but with the added
support of the students at
East, an extra push could
be added to insure a healthy
soccer program. Hopefully,
it’s not too late this year as
the State Tournament is
now in progress and the
Trojans are engaged in
these important games. So
“ come on down” to aid
in the success of a fine
team.
