I j started out m y teaching career there, | and I was an administrator there until I 1974 when I became principal at East,” 7 commented Hosier.

H e became East director o f social studies and fine arts in 1970, when Dr. W esley Gibbs became Nilehi superin­ tendent. Hosier became principal in December 1974 when Dr. Arthur Colver left that post to become principal o f John F. Kennedy H igh School in New York. “ I feel it is necessary to dose East due to declining enrollment and the increase in cost o f keeping it open. I t is the oldest building and also has the smallest campus,” Hosier conduded.

Both rooms are very large and have an degant red and g o ld co lor sch em e,” cabin et president Michael Larks said. “ W e have had some seniors hdping us this year, since it is the last East prom and we want to get as many people in v o lv e d as possib le. W e ’re p la n n in g fo r a n in e-to -tw elve piece band. W ith wide school support, this will be the greatest prom ever,” Larks conduded.

Colton returns to U.S. Retired East social studies teacher, Everett Colton, is back in the United States after spending a year travding around the world. C o lto n ’ s tra v e ls to o k him to Yugoslavia, Greece, M ainland China, and India. Colton spent the m ajority o f his 51 week sojourn in India teaching at a college preparatory school in Banglar. “ India has much more open space than people think. Also, there is less evidence of hunger in the towns and rural areas than thought to be,” Colton said. C O L T O N D E S C R IB E D T H E cli­ mate o f Banglar as excellent: “ Banglar is close to the equator but because o f its high devation, 3000 feet it hovers around 75 d egrees th rou gh o u t the year.” In a letter to the Nilehilite from last year, Colton described what it was like tea ch in g in an In d ia n school. H e commented that generally there is more memorization in Indian schools than in our schools here, and that teachers there recdve much more respect. When asked to describe his trip in one word, Colton replied, “ Fantastic!” The hall that borders the south end o f the contest gym and the entrance to the pool area at Niles W est has been designated as Trojan Hall. This transi­ tion is the result o f the transfer o f stu­ dents to North and W est in 1980 due to the lack o f enrollment at East. A floor tiled blue and gold has al­ ready been installed in this area. The -I Booster Club and James Swanson, athletic director, surveyed that section to determine how the trophy cases will be installed. “ The cases at East are not port­ able so the wall would have to be tom down to remove them. There are already some cases at W est so w e’ll probably add to them. Ultimately, there will be 80 to 100 feet o f trophy cases. These will be built either b y the school carpenters or th e y w ill be ordered out,” explained Chuck Pos, Booster Club president. T H E P R O B L E M O F whether to split the trophies or put them in one place arose. The decision to transfer everything affiliated with East to W est was determined on the basis that in three years the school district will have only one school, Swanson said. Some East students disagreed with the resolu tion . E r i T a n im o to '82 retorted, “ I don’t think it ’s fair because half o f the East population is going to North.” Chris Konior ’83 shouted, “ W e deserve equal rights!” Angie Piculus ’81 stated her view. “ I think the trophies shouldn’t go to either school. They should be kept here so people can come and see them.” Heidi Fishman ’82 commented, “ They should divide the trophies between the schools and make mini Trojan Halls in paph Q p h o n l 99 “ W E ’R E A L S O D E C ID IN G whe­ ther to have a crest on a flag enclosed in a case or have a mosaic emblem mounted on the wall. I t ’s not practical to take the emblem that we have now and mount it again. W e don’t want to put the insignia on the floor because the hall is too small and there won’t be enough room to rope it o ff,” Pos said. H e also mentioned that the “ Trojan Head” at East is the wrong emblem anyway. The “ Fighting Trojans” will be mounted. Galen Hosier, East principal, com­ mented, “ I hope that students would recognize that Niles Township is a single district. W e have had much in v o lv e m e n t w ith in tersch o lastic sports, activities, and students for over 40 years and a Trojan Hall at W est represents part o f that history; and that history is important to each o f us because it gives us a tie to the past that helps us appreciate and under­ stand the future. I t isn’t ‘Niles East’ or ‘Niles W est’, but for a long time it was ‘Niles Township’ from 1938 to 1950. I hope everyone w ill look at the Trojan Hall as a part o f that history and background.” No cost factors have been established yet, but Pos is anticipating that the Board o f Education will include this project in their budget. Burris, comptroller, visits East s Forum Roland Burris, Illinois State Comp­ troller spoke at the East Forum on November 8, 1979. Burris discussed taxes, tax relief, where tax money is spent, and how it ’s spent. Burris also discussed the Illinois bud­ get, Public A id and other matters con­ cerning taxpayers’ money. A C C O R D IN G T O B u rris about 11.8 b illio n d o lla rs a yea r is in the Illinois budget for 1980. Yearly expenses o f the state indude educa­ tional funds, prison and correctional centers, highway maintenance, medical assistance, the Environmental Protec­ tion Agency, and the department o f Children and Fam ily Services funds. The duties o f the chief fiscal officer o f Illinois are to make reports1on all finances, verify bills, checks, invest­ ments, and make out monthly reports on Illinois finance. In conclusion, B u rris encouraged stu dents to in v o lv e th em selves in political campaigns and to get their voter’s registration cards as soon as they’re o f age.

Currently, many students do not know whether they are allowed to be in the halls during their free periods. This is because o f recent administrative announcements w hich im p lied th a t students were only allowed to be in the halls during passing periods. Phrases like “ students should not go to their lockers du rin g free p e rio d s ” were typical o f these announcements. W H A T D ID T H E administration hope to gain by confusing the students about East’s attendance policy? Un­ doubtedly, they hoped to befuddle the students in to s ta y in g out o f the hallways without formally declaring “ closed halls” . Thus, the edministration would reap the benefits in student control that come with closed halls without facing the student protests that would come' in a formal declaration o f policy. E a st stu dents need open halls. Students should not be restricted in th eir m ovem en ts d u rin g th e ir free periods. A student scheduled to lunch should not be forced to sit 40 minutes in a crowded and noisy cafeteria when it takes him 20 minutes to eat lunch. I t is gra n ted , th a t m any tim es classes are disrupted by noisy and reckless students who wander aimlessly through the halls. Open halls should not be eliminated because o f these students. East has hall supervisors to prevent such disturbances. C H A N G IN G H A L L P O L IC Y in any way from that o f last year would be a major blow to student rights. The “ what next” test aptly fits the current situation. I f students hall rights are restricted now, other student rights like open campus may be restricted in the future. Steve Dahl press party reflects cheap p.r. hype The evening o f Oct. 30 would have been an edu cational experience fo r anyone had he gone to the classy Four T orch es R esta u ra n t in dow ntow n C h icago. T h a t n igh t, there was supposed to be a press conference for h igh school rep orters in terested in questioning Seve Dahl, the famous W L U P disc jockey who seems to be anti-everything. W hat was termed a press conference for Dahl turned out to be a “ press party” honoring him. There were only fiv e or six stu den t rep orters in attendance; everyone else worked for various publications such as Chicago Faces magazine. This was not one’s average idea o f a press conference. But a singles cocktail party, where men went to pick-up women. B E IN G A N O P E N bar “ cocktail par­ ty ,” nobody went without drinking. None o f the bartenders hesitated giving high school sophomore a screwdriver or rum and coke. Few people were there to see Steve Dahl. Even if they did get a chance to see him, it was only for a very short time, five minutes or so. That evening, 500 people w ere crow ded in w hat seemed to be a 250 capacity lounge. I T W A S V E R Y disappointing to be thrown into the company o f people who had nothing better to do them freeload for drinks. In this press conference or “ press party” Dahl never commented on the disco music playing in the background. The highlight o f the evening was a slide presentation by Dahl on his hometown. W hat the student reporters gained from this “ press party,” if anything, was a firsthand experience in cheap hype. Album Review by Erich Massat The Eagles are one o f the few groups that can reach every type o f music listener; Their easy ballads, metropoli­ tan pop, and calculated rock reaches everyone. Their album “ The Long R im ” holds true to this theory. The album is a g re a t follow -u p . to th eir “ H o te l California” which was released three years ago. The ballads on the disc are not o f the a vera g e slow and b o rin g v a rie ty . Rather, they give the listener a chance to hear the group’s guitar work at its best. The guitar solos float freely throughout the album. T H IS A L B U M LO O K S like another multi-million seller for the boys from C a lifo rn ia . T h e album sim p ly has something for everyone — from rockers to pop fans. In this album the Eagles successfully blend smart lyrics with weaving guitar licks, to produce a record that can appeal to everyone. T I M E A ö A l t f FOR A N O T H E R _ EPISO D E O F Î Observer A d m inistrator comments on his careers by David Eingorn East English and foreign languages d irector, D r. L e e H a w k in s, n ever planned on becoming involved in high school education. I t is th rou gh a seemingly unbelievable chain o f events that he is here instead o f Washington or Wales. Hawkins’ first career was in army intelligence. H e served in both Field Operations Intelligence (F O I) and the Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC). Hawkins described F O I as a small group mainly concerned with gaining “ positive” information from the enemy through penetration efforts, and CIC as a unit whose purpose was to neutralize enemy intelligence efforts through such activities as the running o f security checks. “ I left army intelligence because I becam e disenchanted w ith such a narrow gauge view o f reality as that entertained by m y former associates,” Hawkins reflected. In 1960, he retired from army life and began work on his degrees. Hawkins holds P h .D ’ s in both secondary education and French from Indiana University. In addition, his disserta­ tion in S econ dary E d u ca tion was published. F o llo w in g the co m p letio n o f his doctoral theses early in 1970, he went on to direct a program in graduate teacher education at the University of Illinois. H e left after only two years because the p rogram w as “ d ivo rc ed from reality,” Hawkins commented. In 1972, the unemployed Hawkins heard o f an opening in English and foreign languages at East, a position he applied for and has consequently held ever since. E ast’s present English and foreign languages director stressed that people should enjoy what they’re doing. He claimed that this philosophy was the reason for him having such varied occupations over the course o f his life. Hawkins has deep feelings about his current love, education. H e believes in To the Editor — ----Class splits in 9 0 will cause problem s 8 Dear Editor: I really don’t like the way classes are being split up after East closes. I think it is wrong to split the senior class in 1980. They have gone to school together and been on extra-curricular Freshmen praises high school Deer Editor: A f t « : attending East for only a short time, I have already discovered many benefits to high school life. I ’ve enjoyed all the activities the school has to offer. There is something for everyone. For instance, if one is interested in sports one may join the football, soccer or tennis teams. Both boys and girls can join most sports. J o in in g a c tiv itie s can m ake the school year more pleasurable for all students o f all grade levels. Laura Mozin ’83 7\T7“Z teams together for three years and now they are being forced to graduate separately. I A L S O T H I N K it is wrong to split up the freshman class. These students have just begun to adjust; making friends and meeting teachers. In 1980, they will be split, undoubtedly ruining newly formed friendships. A ll students will suffer because o f this policy, and I think someone should have the imagination to prevent the split in 1980. Nancy Lee ’83 a structured curriculum, foreign lan­ guage requirements, and an interna­ tional language, Esperanto. “ F o re ig n la n g u a g e stu d y su ffers beccause there is no direct translation in the job market,” Hawkins said. The once railroad worker who still works with his hands building patio drainage systems defends his middle class values by pointing out that those values have always championed those ideals that Americans have held so dearly — ethics, hard work, and the belief in God. From time to time in the near future, Hawkins plans to publish. A paper, “ R eflectio n s on T ren d s in E n glish Instruction,” will appear in December. A novel, Tim e and Chance, tracing the e ffe c ts o f the dep ression and war economies on an extended hill family, is being read for possible publication by the W illiam Morris Agency. Student Senate briefing by Julia Bienias East once again has music in the cafeteria because o f Student Senate. Since the m usic has reappeared, feedback has been good, and it appears th a t the progra m w ill be h ig h ly successful. C om m ents, com plain ts, and/or great thoughts are encouraged. They should be placed in the Senate mailbox. In response to a general concern by the student body, a Club Transition Committee has been formed for the 1980 split. This organization is trying to unite the clubs here at East with their equivalents at North and West. The next regular meeting o f Senate is November 21, at 3 p.m. in Room 124.

Donahue spoke to a student press conferen ce at Northwestern U niversity’s Cahn Audit­ orium to support a journalism scholar­ ship fund. H e com m ented on a v a r ie ty o f subjects, ranging from his syndicated television program to his career and his views on a number o f current issues. “ IN O U R SH O W , program variety is the key. I t doesn’t do any good to talk if nobody will listen, so w e’ve featured homosexuals, Aims o f a birth, actual cosmetic surgery, and Nazis,” said Donahue. H e added th a t p rogram censorship is left to the individual T V stations that carry his talk show, “ Donahue!” Defending his feminist views, Dona­ hue stated, “ M y brain has done most of its growing since I'v e been out of school. Being a divorced person and a single parent has influenced m y views, and m y show has helped orientate me to women’s issues. I feel it should be as easy for a woman to compete as it is for a man.” W H IL E A T N O T R E D A M E in 1959 Donahue g o t his fir s t jo b in the radio/TV media, working at W N D U , the Notre Dame-owned NB C affiliate in South Bend, Indiana. His salary was a dollar an hour. H is perseverance paid o ff, and in 1967 Donahue tra n sferred his successful call-in radio show to television, using basically the same format. Controversial subjects brought the show high ratings, mainly from an audience o f housewives. “ Donahue!” then moved to W G N in 1976. A L A R G E P A R T o f D onah ue’ s success comes from his successful interview technique. “ In m y profession, I get caught in a large cross-stream o f life. I'v e interviewed thousands and thousands o f people since 1959, lawyers, people going to jail. Sometimes,” he added, “ they are the same, people.” Besides being nationally syndicated on 260 stations, Donahue appears three times weekly on N B C ’s “ Today Show.” ^(72/Krachs ¿k Brentanos mTHE FULL SERVICE BOOKSTORES’ — s» Take a friend f ,home to study* Study with Cliffs Notes, because they can help you do better in English class.

A Thanksgiving feast ftft Restaurant offers kindness during holiday by Leslie Doi A F A M I L Y G A T H E R S around a chipped wooden dining table awaiting their Thanksgiving dinner. A news­ paper open to the “ want ads” serves as a tablecloth. The father despairingly looks into the faces o f his saddened children. Forlornly, the mother places the scanty meal onto the table — a turkey is not even affordable. The crumbs which spill onto the peeling tile floor will eventually be ravenously consumed by rodents that scurry from the pantry at night. Even their bellies ache with a hollow emptiness. Slowly the family bows their heads. W hat have they to be thankful for? A N O LD W O M A N , withered with age and capped with strings o f silvery hair, rocks methodically in her ancient rocking chair, her refuge. She stares in to the c it y th rou gh a w ind ow surrounded by worn gray curtains that match the atmosphere. Cars pass back and forth before her. Suddenly, a car pulls in front o f her house. She watches as la u gh in g ch ildren bound out shouting, “ Grandma! Grandma!” She doesn’t move. The door to the next building opens wide and the little children are swept into the arms o f a cheery grandmother whose cheeks are flushed from roasting a turkey. The old woman just rocks, she hardly turns her head. N o one is coming to her house. A tear collects in the corner o f her eye and drops into her hand which rests on her thin cotton dress. She doesn’t brush it away. There are too many. M any people spend Thanksgiving, a supposedly bountiful holiday, in this fashion. They have no money, no food, no place to go, and perhaps no family. Ismet Deletioglu, owner o f French Port Restaurant, 2585 N. Clark, realizes this and o ffe rs a T h a n k s g iv in g fea st, w ith o u t ch arge e v e ry y e a r to the public. “ M y father and mother died when I was six months old so I was an orphan. I know how those who are homeless and poor feel,” said Deletioglu. “ I know 1 should help others. I t ’s very important. You don’t need money to make others happy, just support their m orality.” F R E N C H P O R T W I L L O P E N at I I a.m. T h e y w ill serve tu rkey, stu ffin g , sw eet p o ta to es, mashed potatoes, vegetables, cranberry sauce, fruits, milk, bread, and dessert. “ The best thing we give them though, is love and a smile,” remarked Deletioglu. N o m oney is accep ted b y the restaurant for the dinner. “ I don’t care if they bring a million dollars. I won’t take it! I f the customers ask me if they can do something, I tell them to keep their friends happy. I f the people are happy, I ’m happy too.” For the past three years, no prayer was given for the meal. This year, a rabbi and a priest will come in to bless the food. T H IS Y E A R W I L L mark the fourth year o f his program. In 1976 he served about 400 people. H e mentioned that people were probably scared to come in because “ they thought we would poison them . O thers w ho w ere preju diced thought we did it for publicity.” In 1977 about 600 people were served and last year 1200 people came to enjoy the dinner. Deletioglu doesn’t care how many people or who com es in to the restaurant because they’re not giving away money, but food which feeds the mind. “ W e never wonder where the 2000 people will fit. W e just thank God for the people who will see our example. You should give an example today for the future. Even rich and wealthy people may come because they may be lonely and perhaps have no friends. Money doesn’t buy everything,” he stressed. “ I don’t care if the President o f the United States comes! W e have room for everyone.” He suggested that all the restaurants in the cities should do it, for everyone, not just the poor people. Everyone spends money 365 days a year at restau ran ts and ca feteria s so a restaurant should be able to open for just one day. “ Everyone should have a fiesta!” he exclaimed. “ Nobody can take anything with them when they die so they should feel good in life. People are all human bein gs. G iv e them something to love.” “ IN S T E A D O F C R IM E , we should see kindness in sharing; not money, but goodness. W e don’t need war, we need love to walk together. W e all just have to thank God now and pray for a better day tomorrow.” �6 sports Wednesday, Novem ber 21, 1979 East blanks Maine S. in last football game by D avid Eingora On a cold Saturday afternoon which cem ented ph otograp h ers fin g e rs to their cameras and nearly froze the pom pon’s o ff the Pom Pon girls, the T ro ja n s in th e ir la s t gam e ever, blanked Maine South 11 to 0. The Trojans demonstrated the same irinH o f defensive power and offensive consistency that led to their opening game upset against Waukegan East. ALTO G E TH E R , TH E TRO JANS hpH seven quarterback sacks. One o f the key sacks came early in the first qu arter a fter M a in e South had recovered a Trojan deflected punt on the East 24-yard line. All-Conference end Dan Patlak registered this sack which resulted in a loss o f ten yards and prevented a Maine South touch­ down. G regg Bolotin, Harold Scwartz, Joe Wisniewski, Perry Rempas, and Hal Nagel were the others who scored the other ever important Trojan sacks. Besides the seven sacks, the Trojan defensive team racked-up two fumbles and a safety. The safety late in the game, by senior back H al Nagel, was the Trojans’ last score in the game. A 14-yard quarterback keeper by Kurt Mueller, during fourth down, highlighted the Trojans first scoring drive which began at the Maine South 36-yard line. W ith two minutes left in the second quarter, the Trojans were able to march to the Maine South 8-yard line. Unable to put six points up on the scoreboard, senior kicker Tim Calahan came in to kick the field goal which gave the Trojans a 3-0 halftime lead. Th ro u gh ou t th e a ftern oon , the Trojans dominated the game. When­ ever, Maine South would put together a few first downs, the Trojan defense would stop them cold without any damage. TH E TR O JAN S’ TOUCHDOW N was to come during the third quarter. A 20-yard breakaway run b y senior back Barry Leb keyed this drive which brought the ball inside the five. There Peter Rollick plunged-in for the score. The November 3 game against Maine South was E ast’s last, a school not known for the quality o f its football team. Head Coach Gerald Ferguson best described feelings toward that last game when he said, “ A s a result o f w in n in g the ga m e a ga in st M ain e South, Niles East goes out with a w in n in g streak th a t can n ever be broken.” No. 11 Kurt Mueller runs toward a touchdown in the final football game for the Trojans on Saturday, Nov. 3, against Maine South. Sports com m entary Free Agents stir debate b y Brad Dorfman I t ’ s about tim e ow ners stopped blaming baseball players for the huge salaries caused b y the free agent draft. Each year owners protest that players are making too much money. The owners seem to forget that without their approval o f the draft, Pete Rose would probably still be in Cincinnati scratching out a livin g o f $100,000 a year. One o f the owners’ biggest argu­ ments is that the huge player salaries Coach hopes to clinch state title by Barb Reich Today East wrestlers open their season with a meet against Notre Dame/Loyola, and head coach Fred Richardi has big plans. “ M y goal is to clinch the state title this year, and I think the boys can do it,” said Richardi in a recent interview. Richardi’s optimism is based on hard fact. Last year the varsity wrestlers picked up a 19-4 record, and won their seventh consecutive conference title. The junior varsity took their fourth title in a row, the sophomores their ninth (they haven’t lost a conference match in nine years), and the freshmen their fifth. H O W H A V E E A S T wrestlers man­ aged to stay on top o f the competition year after year? “ A large part o f the credit goes to A th le tic D ire cto r Jam es S w an son,” explains Richardi. “ Swanson insures that we keep the same coaching staff every season. These trainers, Steve and A1 Poznansky and Carlo Hartunian, are extremely devoted. They inspire con­ fidence in the team! The Poznansky’s spent this summer leading an intense teaching and competition program for East wrestlers. M y role is that o f the bad guy — I ’m the team disdplinari99 an. A bove all, Richardi gives credit at the grass roots level. “ Our kids are tough and have a positive attitude. They have to be boisterous, since w e’ll be competing a ga in st d efen d in g sta te cham pions sometime in the season.” Coach Richardi captures student in a half nelson during wrestling practice. Chicago Pressure, that’s the name o f this game. The winning team will have heroes, the lo sin g team go a ts. A player can make or break a reputation in just one hour. Call it torture, but that’s the nature o f the gam e. I t ’ s A m e r ic a ’ s m ost regarded sporting event, with a packed b y Ken Van Der Haegen stadium and another 100 thousand people watching TV . S IN C E A B O U T T H E time Soldier Field was built in 1902, it hasn’t been g iv e n g re a t care. B ecause o f this neglect, Soldier Field is in a great state o f disrepair. M ost people who attend the games Controversy on the best way to repair Soldier Field, home of the Bears, never cease to exist. don’t take time to think if a 70 year old building can withstand the weight of 55,000 people. People just don’t realize th a t the sea tin g is u nstable. I f something is not done in the near future, a major tragedy may occur. Building a new stadium is the best solution. Although tearing down Sol­ dier Field could be a large loss to Chicago, building a new stadium would be a larger gain. The biggest question is where does one build a new stadium? M ost o f the fans w ant the stadiu m to replace Soldier Field’s current location. Few others would like to see the Bears relocate in a suburb. T H E B E S T S O L U T IO N to this problem is to ask season ticket holders. Find out how they stand on the issue. See how much season ticket sales would decline, and how much they would increase. Fair weather fans should have no say in the matter. G ive part o f the decision to loyal fans. [T o be continued in the next issue.] force them to hike ticket prices — wrong again. I t is a fact that sports is this nation’s only self-governing mono­ poly. The owners don’t even pay taxes. Attendance has been higher than ever. Surely the owners can afford to pay the players the salaries they want without driving prices into double figures. But, say the owners, the draft makes it unfair to teams that can’t afford to draft. Untrue. A ll teams can afford to draft except Toronto and Seattle who h a v en ’t had tim e to reap the organization’s full benefits. Besides, the teams that don’t draft usually come out on top anyway such as Baltimore and Pittsburgh. SO L A Y O F F the poor ballplayers. They have a right to make two or three m illio n . T h e tru e v illa in s are the owners, who’ve already made their millions. I t ’s time for them to give someone else a chance. Sport Shorts East held its last fall awards cere­ mony honoring fall athletes on Sunday, N ov. 11. Speeches b y A thletic Director Jam es Swanson and B o o ster Club President Charles Pos, concentrated on achievements o f this year’s athletes. A fter the speeches, tennis captain Claudia Brisk was honored io r her o u tsta n d in g fea ts in E a s t ’ s tennis program.

Heller currently holds two varsity swimming records. In the last strokes o f the tennis season, the East varsity team garnered a 3-7 record. In analyzing the season’s outcom e, head coach P a t M a tla k stressed, “ all 32 members improved and will help to strengthen our sister schools next year.” H o w e ver, E a s t ’ s b ig g e s t trium ph was achieved by Claudia Brisk, the only one on the team who qualified for state competition. A L S O E X P E R IE N C IN G the fare­ well blues, M atlak concluded, “ I hope non-graduating tennis players won’t give up the sport just because East is closing.” � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
