I School Enters Century II

New Concepts Enrich New Erc1 Basic Values

As Lincoln High School begins its second hundred years, new concepts in educational techniques have been initiated.

The long-awaited variety in course offerings is finally here, ranging from classes in Water-Polo to the The First Ladies of the White House.

The three "R's" of last century have received a more modern nomenclature, such as Speed Reading, Creative Writing, and Computer Math.

The homey atmosphere of sitting around the hearth with granny, learning the fme art of crocheting has been revised. As of now, knitting and crocheting classes are being offered as well as Accessory Making and Leathercraft.

The mastery of of Kitchen Klatter have been aided by the popular Barbecueing class for which grills on the patio serve to expedite the learning of the future chefs.

As might be expected, the Social Studies Department has also come up with short courses (a nine-week period) with Ugly America, the Roaring 20's, Curse the Wealthy, and Growth of the West being offered as well as the ever-popular American History and World History.

Not only has expansion of the courses offered a change for Lincoln High, class scheduling has been revamped to on-the-hour and half-hour periods.

Juniors and seniors have already discovered that to get to school on time one must rise at the crack of dawn and fight to overcome the 7:30a.m. traffic.

Without the availability of study halls to catch those extra 40 winks, teachers will soon learn not to expect all students to be bright eyed, bushy tailed, or even awake during classes.

The basic values of Lincoln High's curriculum are unchanged; only timely transformations and additions to these century-old tactics have been developed.

Throughout the years, changes have been made at Lincoln High to conform to the students' requests, but nothing can change the fact of its 101 years except time.

Seniors Plan Ahead!

"The 1972 Links will be the best ever," predicts the Links Board: "When the Class of '72 is included it has to be great!"

Senior picture editor Melanie Noel, urges all seniors to have their pictures taken and turned in to Room 219 before the deadline date, November 18, at which time a $1 engraving fee will be collected.

Suggestions for the appropriate attire and a list of approved photographers may be picked up in the Counselor office, Room 208.

The theme for this year's Coed Counselor Tea was "Falling Into a New Century." The teas, held annually since 1950, welcome the sophomore and new girls to Lincoln High.

It's that time agai n, the hustle, bustle, and scurry of another school year. The first week has been a challenge for everyone with the innovation of new classes, t eachers, and students.

An exciting roster of events and activities will mark the beginning of Lincoln High's second century of existence. Participation and dedication by everyone to Lincoln High will make this year unforgettable.

Tradition has been modified to let in the light of new dimensions, but the enthusiastic spirit of tradition that has been carried on for decacJes will remain unchanged.

Moving Teachers Provides Departmental Togetherness

Just as there has been a change in scheduling, there has been a change in the location of some teachers' rooms this year. Instead of being spread out all over the building, the mathematics and history teachers have gotten together through the centralization of the individual departments. As a result of the move, the History Department is now located on first floor; members of the Math Department are on second and third floors, with the exception of Mr. Charles Friesen who will remain in Room 135.

"The main reason for the change in the Math

Department was the need for a bigger room for the new Matli Resource Center," said Miss Francis Buell, chairman of the department. The center consists of 250 books (that may be checked out) and math models. Room 327 will also be used for three classes: at other times it will be open to math students.

According to Mr. Harold Scott, chairman of the History Department, "the main objective of the move is to bring the department together with future hopes for a History Resource Center such as the one in the Math Department."

Eight Faculty Members Added

Eight new teachers are adding zing to this year at Lincoln High School. Do you remember your first day of school? You might have been excited and anxious, but also a little frightened. These new teachers are experiencing these feelings right now.

Most have had experience teaching in the Lincoln Public School system or in out-of-town positions.

"I am looking forward to my first year at Lincoln High," says Mr. Gerald Holmburg who is a counselor this year. In his extra time Mr. Holmburg enjoys all spectator sports, and likes to fJSh, hunt, and play golf.

Also interested in hunting, fishing, and sports is Mr. John Hindman who is teaching Auto Mechanics. He has also taken on the responsibility of being golf coach.

Science club and the greenhouse will now be

under the direction of Mr. Bill Leffler, the new biology teacher. Mr. Hindman likes to sail, collect stamps, and is interested in the field of photography.

Also intrigued by photography is Mr. Jim Bounds, a new member of the Business Department. Mr. Bounds will be sponsoring Interact and DECA.

There are two new teachers in Home Economics. Mrs. Lori Artz, Cheerleader sponsor, likes to knit, sew, and play tennis or volleyball. The other is Mrs. Cathie Godbersen who is entertained by cooking, sewing, gardening, and home decorating.

Spanish is the subject · taught by Mrs. Rosilie Boehmer thts year. Mrs. Boehmer enjoys reading, playing the uke, and listening to records.

Participating in sports is fun for Mrs. Merikay Keith. She will teach Girl's Physical Education this year.

Te a chers Go

England and France were the destinations of Mrs. Lorraine Sutton, one of the teachers who traveled abroad this summer. She was very much impressed by the historical places such as Windsor Castle and Westminster Abbey. She also believes that the place of living is slower there than it is in the United States.

She would like to return some day to see more of England and stay much longer. She liked all the food but she stated, "the wine there is much better than the coffee."

Japan, Indonesia, Nepal, Isreal, and India are among the countries that Mrs. Lydia Lekai was able to visit this summer. She was allowed to visit a number of schools in the Orient since they are in session most of the summer. She felt she was well received by most people throughout the world.

•f ar-out'

She tried to sample food from all the countries which included chrysanthemum leaves, stalks, duraen (fruit), and ice cream. She said, "This trip almost cured me of drinking coffee." She also felt it was a great educational experience. continued on pg. 5

Links Welcome

New AFS'ers

Lincoln High extends a welcome to all new students here from foreign countries. Asta Birkeland from Norway is staying with Sally Holtzclaw's family; Jurgen Doring from Bremen, Germany is making his home with Rita Kumm and family. Both of these students are representing the AFS (American Field Service) Program.

G udrin Henrikkson, • staying with Jan Sims's family; and Heidi Aberbrinkmann, living at Doug Brown's home, are sponsored by ICY.E (In tern a tiona! Christian Youth Exchange.

Innovations To

At the left, Mrs. Wescott, head of the Drama Department, different techniques which may be used in charades.

This year's drama students are in for a treat. The drama facilities have been expanded to nearly twice the former size.

Room 228, formerly the Health Education room, is the new headquarters for the drama students and their activities.

The room came about as a result of a request by Mrs. Beth Westcott, head of the Drama Department, for more space for the variety of activities performed by the department.

The new location offers many advantages. It makes both group and individual instruction much easier and more beneficial. Also, students don't have to

wander around looking for empty spaces to work, as has sometimes been the case in previous years. Stagecraft class will be able to build sets and paint scenery right there in the room.

The decor of the room is the result of a summer of hard work by many dedicated students. The students themselves were the ones responsible for designing and decorating the new room. Bob Thurber spent a great deal of his summer working on the project. Others who donated their time included Rita Kumm, John Luejthe, 'Landis Magnuson, Sam Ridge, and Jo Shrader.

Student Participation: Goal For 71- 72

"Getting students involved in Lincoln High School is the goal of the 1971-72 Student Council," according to Council president Tim Renker.

To help achieve this goal, a concentrated effort to get sophomores interested in LHS will be started. Eight representatives from the Class of '7 4 will be elected by the sophomores the third or fourth week of school.

Student Council worked during the past summer "to be ready to do the most for Lincoln High." Ten council

members represented LHS at the Nebraska Student Council Workshop. At the workshop, Council members learned new ideas on how to solve school problems and how each council could work most effectively for its school.

"It was also a fantastic experience to learn about our own personalities," said SP.nior Linda Davis

The Kick-off Dance, which was held August 27 in Johnson Gym, was sponsored by Student Council. Earlier that morning, the members sponsored a tea for teachers.

The "classroom" which consists of chairs and sofas, is void of desks. The new facilities, (right) include a small stage and plenty of audience space.

Students Display Summer Talent

During the summer, 16 Links interested in theatre, were involved in various musicals, plays, and dramas. Senior Steve Gesch said his experience in Fantastics was "lots of fun and a great way to meet new people." Sue Adams, a junior who participated in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, suggests to other students, "Try out when you can because it's rewarding."

Five Lincoln High students participated in the musical comedy, Guys and Dolls. Herbie Adams, Chan Dutton, Rita Kumm, Landis Magnuson. and George Shaner all were members of the musical, sponsored by the Lincoln Recreation Department.

Fantastiks, sponsored by The Lincoln public schools involved students through the summer school program. Chan Dutton, a junior, held the male leading role . Other Links included in the cast were Steve Gesch, Russ Harris, and Jo Schrader.

The Magic Bird, presented at the Lincoln Community Playhouse, Sheldon Sculpture Gardens, and at All-State, was a children's play in which the actors were dressed up to look like life-size puppets. Harold Johnson played the King and Sam Ridge the oldest son.

Bob Thurber was a member of the University of Nebraska Repertory performances of Man of La Mancha, We Bombed in New Haven, and Macbeth. The productions were presented at the Howell TheatrP..

The summer as a whole was rated "very profitable" by the Links who took parts in plays. The actors who were asked how they felt about their dramatic experiences all agreed that it was a lot of fun and worth the time.

Seven Lettermen Pace Gymnasts

"Our team depth is the big factor to this year's team," states gymnastics coach Duane Strough. "We have seven returning lettermen who should help us a lot."

This year's team will include Tom Dietz, Don Lund, Brad Rutledge, and Marc Stiner, all up from reserves. Sophomores on the team are Pat Keelan, Steve Lococo, John Pace, and Tim O'Toole.

Mr. Strough expects leading performances from seniors John Meyerhoff on the high bar, parallel bars, side horse, and vaulting; Frank O'Conner on the high bar, parellel bars, tumbling, floor exercise, and vaulting; and Tom Staley, all-around.

Senior Doug Dittoe and junior Mark Johnson will be returning lettermen on the tramp for the team. Last year, Dittoe placed s1xth in

Coach Strough commented that "vaulting is a new event starting this year and its score with the all-around score, count as a team score. I expect to finish anywhere from fourth place upwards with the aU-around experience we have."

The team's first meet is against Omaha South on September 24 in Johnson gym.

Spirit Soars; Outfits Change

Kicking off a new school year of spirit are the 1971-72 cheerleaders and members of pep club. The cheerleaders have been practicing hard all summer, anticipating the first pep rally and football game with Hastings.

This year's peppers will have a new look. Red and black striped sweaters, black pleated skirts, and red knee-highs will brighten up the pep club section.

Linea Davis, president of Cheerleaders, and Pam Keeler, pep club president, encourage all students to get out and support the football team at the Hastings game.

Gridders Shape Up; Hastings First Foe

The 1971 Lincoln High School football team will be built around 15 returning lettermen. "About 130 boys -came out so we will choose from those to complete the team," stated Coach Andy Loehr.

The returning lettermen are: ends: Bob Bluford, Bill Hudson, and Bob Knollenberg; tackles: Bob Beccard, Mike Fultz, and Charles Martin; guards: Stewart Cummings and Steve Kontos; center: Jerry Bockhoven; quarterbacks: Bob Folsom and Pat Weixelman; halfbacks:. Stan Dowd, John Osborn, and Mark Weaver; fullback: Buster Barber.

"The attitude of the players so far is real good," commented Loehr. "We are getting good leadership from the seniors and the returning lettermen which is very essential to the makings of a good team. We feel we will have a good

football team. It takes a lot of luck and a few breaks." The Links kick off the season against Hastings on September 10 at Hastings.

· The Links have played Hastings 18 times and have never lost to it. The teams have tied three times: iri 1965 the score was 7-7, in 1966 it was 0-0, and in 1968 the score was 13-13. The series of games started in 1909 with the Links winning 35-0. In 1920 Lincoln High beat Hastings by a margin of 61-0, which was the largest score ever compiled against this opponent.

Hastings has scored against Lincoln High in only three games. Thirteen points is the most Hastings has ever scored against Lincoln High.

•71 Predictions Better For Tennis Cross Country

Returning lettermen for the year's tennis team are senior Bob Thurber and junior Brian Rugg. The new head coach, Charles Friesen, stated, "The 14 boys who are trying out have been working hard and by the end of the season we hope for a good team."

According to coach Friesen, seniors Doug Johnson, Ken Frolich , Mike Keller, and Claus Anderson, along with juniors Tom Fuenning, Jim Mumgaard, and Patil Grosscup are ."doing well" and the varsity team will be chosen from this group.

Reserve meets are held along with the varsity so the other boys have a chance to compete.

Coach Friesen commetned, "East and Southeast should be real tough competition but if we win more than one meet

Thespians Enriches

Drama Departm e nt

To create an outlet for expression in drama, Lincoln High has intiated a new club, Thespians.

"The International Thespian Society is an educational organization which aims to establish and advance standards of excellence in all phases of theater. Thespians also aims to create an active and intelligent interest in theatre arts in secondary schools," said Mrs. Beth Wescott, Lincoln High School drama instructor.

Student sponsors, who were key figures in initiating this club are seniors Landis Magnuson and Bob Thurber. Mrs. Wescott, is the club's sponsor.

"Thespians is an honor society and membership is

based on an individual's performance of meritorious work in theater arts which tneets the gen:eral guides Iones of the society," explains Mrs. Wescott.

Present members included in the club are: Barb Brauer, Henry Hall, H a r o Id · Johnson, Rita Kumm, Landis Magnuson, Mary Raymer, Sam Ridge, Jo Shrader, Chan Taylor, and Bob Thurber.

Thespians hopes to create an atmosphere in which theater as an art at Lincoln High School can flourish. Future plans of the members include going to plays and movies which might be of interest.

Mrs. Wescott feels that "Thespians will provide a futher challenge to drama students."

Student Affairs Offers

Better Communication

"To constitute an advisory and action group concerned with the welfare of Lincoln High School and the specific welfare of individuals and groups in the Lincoln High community so that decisions of maxium educational, human, and social benefit will be achieved with harmony and understanding is the sole purpose of the Student Affairs Committee. · · · has entered its second year of existance.

This was the scope of the committee's functions as explained by Mr. William Bogar, Lincoln High School principal, who was responsible for the reactivation of an organization that has been defunct since 1958.

Members serving on the committee are chosen from three main groups: nine faculty members, 17 students, and 13 adults or parents not connected with the school make up the group of 3!1.

"Activities of the committee include advising on matters referred to it by individuals or groups, initiating and recomStory on page 2

mending courses of action and areas of study, creating ad hoc committees for the discussion of problems, assisting in internal and public understanding of factors relating to Lincoln High, recommending broad policies to appropiate groups after study by affected individuals and groups, and recommending budgets and fund allocations from available student activity money," said Mr. Bogar.

"Unlike the Student Council, the Student Affairs Committee not only links students but also includes teachers, parents, and other adults. This can bring about a better source of communication."

The next mecling is scheduled for the latter part of September, when the appointment of new members will be discussed.

May Choose Package Deal

For the first time at Lincoln High School, a package deal will be offered which will make it possible for an under classman to order reprints of his Links picture.

Photographs of seniors will also be taken. However, these will be only for office record identification; no packets or additional photos will be available.

According to a letter from the office of James R. Cusick, Director of Purchasing of the Lincoln Public Schools, the packets, which will cost $2 will include the following:

2 each 3"x5" colored photographs

4 each 2"x3" colored photographs

16 each 2"x3" gold tone photographs

2 each Identification photographs with name shown below picture. (One for yearbook/one for permanent records).

1 each Student identification with pictures.

1 each Rolodex card with the picture.

In addition to this, a "no charge" identification card and two identification pictures will be provided for each senior.

Although no date has been set as to when the pictures will be taken, picture-taking sessions will probably be during the latter part of this month or the fll'st of next.

Students Approve System;

Favor Early-Hour Exit

Although some people can think of. things they'd rather do than go to school, it appears that in the minds of most students, the many improvements that have been made in this year's system at Lincoln High have added to the appeal of education.

To sample public reaction to these changes, The Advocate surveyed teachers, administrators, and students of all classes. The questions asked were:

1. What do you think about the wide variety of courses offered this year? Do you feel that most students use this to their benefit, or just to get out of taking harder classes?_

2. Do you think it is a good idea to have the sophomores come and go at different times than the rest of the students, or does it interfere with other activities, such as club meetings, athletics, or transportation?

3. Is your overall impression of this year's system good or bad, and why?

When -the setHoF8 were asked what they thought about the wide variety of classes offered, many felt that the mini courses are being used as an escape from taking harder courses. "Lots of seniors take the easier classes because they have all their requirements for graduation and all they want is the hours," stated one senior girl.

However, the majority of seniors said they appreciated having a wider variety from which to choose. A minor complaint

came from a few who mentioned being in classes that they didn't want and hadn't registered for.

Juniors seem to feel that having the opportunity to choose classes that a person really wants to take gives him the incentive to make responsible decisions and to try and get a good grade once he gets into the class.

The sophomores who were polled felt that in some cases choosing courses is too much responsibility. One sophomore boy remarked, "For the ones who can handle it, it's great, but some sophomores are too immature to make decisions that are that important."

There was quite a variety of opinion on the subject of sophomores coming and going at a time different than the others.

Although for many it makes no difference one way or another, several points were brought up a·gainst it. Sophomores pointed out that it really makes the rest of their day drag when they see all the juniors and seniors leave, especially on nice d-ays. Almost all sophomores agreed they'd rather come at 8: 00 and be able to leave with everyone else. Transportation, athletics, and clubs were among other problems mentioned.

Juniors and seniors agreed that they prefer coming at 8:00 and leaving at 2:30,

Nearly everyone said that

Pygmalion: Dramatists' I All-School Play Choice

Pygmalion, written in 1923 by George Bernard Shaw, has been selected for this year sll-school production.

The plot is based on the Greek legend of Pygmalion, a king of Cyprus, who sculpted the figure of a young woman. After he completed the statue, it was so beautiful that he fell in love with it. Wishing for a wife as beautiful as the statue, he to Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Aphrodite answered his prayer by transforming the statue into a real woman, Galatea, whom he later married.

Shaw's modern interpretation of Pygmalion is the story of a man who wagers that he can create a dutchess from a waif just by teaching her to speak properly.

Mrs. Beth Westcott, LHS drama teacher and director of the play, urges all students who are interested

his overall oprmon of the new system was "good." One junior girl remaked, "I think Lincoln High needed a change. It makes the school day go faster."

Teachers seemed to approve whole-heartedly of the new system, although one point strongly mentioned was the separation of classes as a result of the sophomores having different schedules. 0 n e teacher probably summed it up best by saying, "Any system is good for some, and bad for others."

Glees Organize

What color will they be this year? This question of color and style of their outfits now faces the 1971-72 Junior Girls Glee.

Another event in the organization of the Glee Club took place September I with the election of officers who will carry out the responsibilities of keeping the Glee running smoothly.

This year's-:funior Gtrts Glee officers are Sharon Anderson, president; Jan Sims, vice-president; Debbie B ettenhauser, secretary; Cathy Schwartz, treasurer; Martha Ghormley and Shelley Bauer, librarians.

The Glee is under the direction of Miss Dorthea Gore.

Catching up on one-hundred years of history by reading High issued last year, are foreign students (from left) Gunrun Hennksson, Jurgen Donng, Asta Birkeland, and Heidi Oberbrinkmann.

Student's Role

Redefined

In this complex, changing, sometimes disorganized system of education, students with suggestions concerning the schools are now being heard. Students are more and more being considered as the main vehicle through which new policies are introduced to the school administration.

Students seem to thrive on the ideas of freedom: any rule they have to follow they consider basically wrong. They hold such attitudes against administrators who arbitrarily develop and impose such regulations.

Have you ever imagined how disturbingly disorganized school would be without the faintest rule? We would have mass confusion, learning would be wiped out; if students were l free to attend school or not, most likely schools soon would become obsolete.

Some students feel it is useless to try and change policies of the school system; only a very few stand up to the establishment and debate their rules.

It is absurd to give up without trying for the Board of Education is willing and Immensely happy to hear student opinions and suggestions.

With defeatist attitudes as "What's the _ use of trying" or "There is no way to bridge the communication gap" by the student body, school policies will continue to be enforced only on the "I think this would be best" attitudes of the administrators.

Though it might be hard to believe that the school administration needs the help of the students, with us voicing our opinions and ideas changes will be made in our favor. '

Next Century: One of Change

This year Lincoln High starts on a new venture: it's second hundred years. The quality of the first I 0 decades should set the pace for the next 10. Yet the past is something to learn from-not to imitate. Lincoln High must be a constantly changing center ?f lt:arning: it must not become a place where one Is stifled by the past. There is a certain tradition about Lincoln High that should be preserved and but, in this next century of changing Ideas and thoughts, let us hope that Lincoln High can also be a part of the freshness and energy of a new one-hundred years.

How Would YOU Do It?

What is a school newspaper supposed to offer to its readers? The latest news from college campuses? what's happening in and around Lincoln? or should it cover world-wide affairs? should it be a radical underground? or a scandal sheet?

Logically, it should be concerned with the events taking place in the school and the activities of students and teachers. It is also important to cover community functions related to the student body.

Many critical students speak of a "face-lift" for The Advocate to create originality. Perhaps, with more time and cooperation and worth-while suggestions from students, a different approach could be taken.

We admit chang;e is of the essence, but it takes time and much effort to change the format of a newspaper, especially one that is almost a century old.

The Superintendent's Student Advisory Board, which meets every other Tuesday, is a sounding board for school program development and policy-making.

The group membership consists of the administrators, the elected senior high school Student Council presidents and the editor of each senior high school newspaper together with a permanent student-at-large. All students who want to voice their opinions are welcome to attend meetings.

Lincoln High's representatives are JoAnn Highstreet, Advocate editor and Tim Renker, Student Council president.

Some issues that have been brought before the administration are developing smoking lounges, having better assemblies, and having Junior-Senior Proms at hotel ballrooms.

The past summer, parents, teachers and students participated in the third Lincoln Public Schools symposium dealing with current school concerns.

Recommendations were made by each group, recorded, and forwarded for action to the appropriate office or individual in the school system.

Recommendations were:

Grading: Grading should compare one's achievement with his own potential, not with achievement levels of other persons in the -group.

Soph Elections Coming

With Student Council elections for the Class of '74 approaching, sophomores will soon be offered "a piece of the action."

Any sophomore "willing to work for the betterment of Lincoln High" is eligible to file in Room 107 following seventh period until 3:45 today through Friday.

Primary elections will be September 21, before school, during lunch, and

after school in the cafeteria hall.

Members of the Sophomore Class will meet and hear the 16 finalists in an assembly scheduled for September 24, at which time the candidates will have the opportunity to state their intentions and goals.

General elections to select the eight sophomore Council members will be Tuesday, September 28.

AFS. ICYE Students To Spice Up Year

As Lincoln High begins to settle into a normal routine, it is finally possible to slow down and start to renew old friendships and form new ones. Among the students eager to meet new people are Lincoln High's four foreign students here under the auspices of different programs. Asta Birkeland and Jurgen Doering are both sponsored by AFS, American Field Service.

Asta, a senior, living with the Henry Holtzclaw family, comes from Kristiansand, Norway. Both her father and her mother are teachers, her father being associated with the teacher training college. She has two older sisters, aged 23 and 24 years.

on the basis of a student-teacher contract.

Communication and the School: Encourage more responsiveness to student concerns. Greater teacher involvement in total school (not just own classes).

Teacher Appraisal: Consider allowing students to select their own teachers plus a teacher evaluation by students.

Activities: Inter-City. activities should be developed among the four high schools - such as in all-city plays; classes that are now limited to a few high schools.

School Day: Shorten the 55-minute classes; institute a 45-minute lunch period; reduce class size.

Continuous Progress: It should serve as alternatives to the traditional class situations, but should not be the only type of class available.

These recommendations are discussed by the Student Advisory Board and the school administration. Student opinions are very important concerning what action will be taken on the issues.

Asta likes the "open atmosphere" at Lincoln High that she feels exists between students and faculty. However, she dislikes the 5-minute break between classes which "gives one very little time to talk or socialize with friends."

Asta's school in Norway, with a population of only about 400, is considerably smaller than LHS. This adds to the many differences she sees between the two schools. "In Norway, the majority of activities one is involved in are not through school but outside of it," :she noted. "There are as many subjects to choose from and the school itself is not as socially active as Lincoln High."

The two classes Asta is taking that are most different from others she has taken are Speech and International Relations. She says she likes both very much.

Asta is very interested in music and enjoys singing and playing the piano. She also likes to read, enjoys drama, and plans eventually to go into some sort of social work.

At Lincoln High, Asta wants to be in as many activities as possible; she has already decided to join Peppers and International Club.

She summed up her feelings by saying, "I am glad I'm going to Lincoln High."

Jurgen 'Okays' Links

"Links is okay," says Jurgen Doering of West Germany. Jurgen, a senior, is living this year with the family of Rita Kumm. At Jurgen's German home, his father is an engineer and his mother, a housewife. He has one brother, Rainer, 15 who is in the ninth grade. '

Despite the confusion, Jurgen likes the individual-type scheduling at LHS. In Germany, the Organization for Directing Education determines the schedules for each of the various grades.

"Only in the progressive schools are you even allowed to choose half of your classes," he noted. The classes, though, aren't that different. Jurgen feels he could take the same classes in Germany as he is taking here. "The lessons, as a whole, are different because there seems to be a lot more free time here and not so much work as in Germany."

Jurgen does not like the Nebraska heat and feels Lincoln High should have air-conditioning.

Almost everything in his normal way of life is different here from that of his life in Germany.

Obviously the language is different, the style of home life, the food,and the people are all part of the changes that Jurgen went through upon coming to Lincoln.

Jurgen is interested in philosophy, music, and art and plans to join AFS Club and International Club.

Two ICYE Students

The two students here on another program, ICYE (International Christian Youth Exchange), are Gudrien Henikson and Heidi Oberbrimman.

Gudrien, a senior, is ' living at the home of Jan Sims. She comes from a small town of about 15,000 people in Southern Sweden. She has one brother and one sister, and says the family is "very close" and that they discuss everything, despite the generation gap.

Peppers Choose Outfits

Links Travel During Summer; Learn All People Are Alike

Summer is over, but for three Lincoln High school students who traveled abroad, their experiences won't soon be forgotten.

Senior Mike Keller went to Israel with a tour of about 235 high school seniors from all over the country Larry Griffing, also a senior. went on a tour of Japan

Both Mike and Larry agreed that seeing people was what they liked most about the places they visited. "Everyone was friendly toward us (except for some of the Arabs) and it was really hard to tell there was a war going on there," said Mike.

Larry felt that taking part in Japanese sports was quite an unusual experience.

One of the things that Mike felt he learned the most from his travels was that although Israel does have internal, racial, and monetary problems, it is not allowing the problems to divide the country.

Adam Levine, a junior, visited such countries as Turkey, Belgium, England, and France. His father studied at the Institute of Race Relations, while in London.

--Adam rated· the food "great"; and he also enjoyed walking around in Istanbul.

Adam summed up the feelings of all three students who went abroad when he said, "Everybody is the same every place."

Foreign Students Involved in Lincoln High

Continued from Page 2

Gudrien is used to having more time between classes at home. "The more relaxed atmosphere gives you time to get acquainted with people and get out and breathe the fresh air," she said. "Also in school in ' Germany we only had one class a day " Lincoln High to her is unusual, and confusing, but interesting

She likes Lincoln, but finds it slightly different from what she expected. There are more trees and hills and fewer cornfields than she expected. Also Lincoln seems smaller to her than it really is and she likes it for that.

Although Gudrien hasn't joined any clubs yet, she has a wide variety of interests, including sports, all kinds of music, psychology, and people. She enjoys being alone with nature, or talking and doing things with her friends.

Lincoln High is "big and modern," she says, as compared to her other School. She likes the Student Lounge because "it gives you the opportunity to eat snack-type food." She though, that there is too httle time between classes.

She has a busier life here in the U.S. because there are no real class communities. In Germany, according to Heidi, there are three types of schools She attended Gymnasium, a school for college-bound students. "If you fail one class in my school you have to take the whole year over," she said.

Heidi likes the variety of scheduling here She's taking textiles and clothing, speech, tennis, elementary design, and drama, all classes that she couldn't have taken in Germany. They mostly have languages and scientific subjects in her other school.

She hasn't yet decided which clubs to join but she is interested in joining some.

Heidi wants to go into some type of social work either in a home for older people or in a home for children. She would also

Heidi Oberbrirkmann, of Porz A. Rheu, Germany, is a junior She is spending this year with Doug Brown and his family. Her father is a pilot in the Ojeswau Air Force; her mother is a housewife. She has one sister, 22, and two brothers, 12 and 5.

Pool-Playing Creates Upro

Advocate March 28, 1906

An anti-pool hall campaign was started in the city and LHS participated. The growing habit of high school boys frequenting these places led to an action against the proprietor of one.

The case was heard and the "state of affairs" was given a thorough airing.

Although the case was dismissed because of error in ordinance it caused new legislation to be enacted under which pool halls will be more closely regulated

Links Fall to Tigers: Upset 8-7

The Lincoln High School Varsity football team suffered an 8-7 loss to Hastings in the opening game played September 10 at Hastings. This was the first time the Links have lost to the Tigers in 18 meetings, the first held in 1909."

After a scoreless first half, the Links got on the board late in the third quarter when junior quarterback Bob Folsom tossed a 30-yard touchdown pass to senior halfback Mark Weaver. Pat Weixelman kicked the extra point to give the Links a 7-0 lead.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, the Links were hit with a roughing-the-kicker penalty which gave the ball to the Tigers. Hastings took advantage, and with 4:48 left in the game scored from seven yards out off the wishbone formation.

Hastings chose to run the ball over the goal line for two extra points and

succeeded in the try. The Tigers took the lead 8-7 and held it until the end of the game.

Statistically. the Links out fust-downed,out rushed, and out passed the tigers.

Lincoln High's total yardage was 286 to Hastings 135.

Being plagued with 55 yards of penalties and four fumbles got the Links into trouble and cost them the first game of the season.

1972-Year to Vote

1972- This date has been important to seniors ever since they were seventh graders and first got their student numbers and found that that was the year they would graduate.

This, though, isn't the only big event for seniors in 1972: it is also a presidential election year. Many students, both graduating and next year's seniors, will be old enough to vote. This will mark the first time in American history that all persons as young as 18 have had this privilege.

American youths declare that they are ready for this responsibility, but with this right comes the obligation of knowing who the candidates are and what they stand for. This is important all the way from the national scene down to the local.

Voting is not mandatory, and should never be, but it is important. Today, many people are disillusioned by politician's promises that fail to materialize. It's gotten to the point where many of today·s youth and young adults don't even want to vote. This can be understood because for so many years politicians have told half truths or remained silent before the America.l) public.

But young people must not be deterred by doubt. They must not be defeated by what has gone before. Surely admidst all the candidates running for all the offices, there must be someone who would do the job. Youth must find the right candidate and vote for him

So in 1972, when this year's seniors graduate and are making plans for the future, remember the future is only as good as those you chose to direct it. Get out and vote! Help decide how you want your city, country, state, United States, and world run.

It's Your School--Get Involved

Get involved! Wasn't that the theme for the kick-off dance? Yes, and it's also the theme for this year's Student Council. The first few weeks have been devoted mostly toward welcoming new students and preparing for sophomore Student Council elections.

Also on the agenda has been the discussion ot' a junior pep club. Council circulated an opinion poll on this subject and the results showed that a vast majority are in favor of junior spirit.

Competition victory, extra-curricular activity points, student directories, improvement of the lounge, an inter-city exchange and, of course, homecoming, are future projects for the Student Council.

We're here to serve you so let us know how you feel. Council meets every day, fourth period in Room I 07. We can't do our best unless YOU get involved, too! Mary Raymer

New Advocat e Format

In response to article entitled "How Would You Do It?" I've read several other school newspapers aside from our "Advocate" and I've found that, to take an example the Southeast "Clarion" covers topics other than just school activities; it seems to show an interest by the student body in topics and issues outside of their school, but still "relevant," if you wish, to the High School student; the "Clarion" is a larger paper than the "Advocate," and with more advertisements as well.

I strongly suggest that the "Advocate" include in it articles topics of interest to the student body - topics found outside the school, such as news from the Universities as to tuition changes, etc. I believe this would be found favorable to most every student within L.H.S. But of course this does not mean that just any topic could be brought out in the "Advocate" -this is only common logic, and was pointed out in the forementioned article. If topics are covered in the "Advocate" that are of interest to people our age and relevant to some of the problems or questions being asked by we "young people," I'm sure it will be looked upon as an improvement by the student body at L.H.S. and will make for a better newspaper as well.

This will probably mean making a bigger effort to get more advertisements to help pay for the added size that will most-likely result, etc.

These are just my opinions- I hope they are of some value. Greg Lugn '73

Man Not above Vanity It Shows in Hairstyles

Despite man's avowed disinterest in self-beautification and his impatience with the vainer(?) sex and her quest for beauty, man, since the beginning of time has been concerned with his appearance.

His hair has long been an object of experimentation. Many of the styles seen today are throwbacks to some particular time in history.

Long flowing hair, beards, and mustaches were not new even back in biblical times. The ancient Egyptian man wore his hair long and curly. Bangs, for boys, developed in Greece about 650 B.C.

Throughout history, the styles were adopted by most men, that is, up to the early 20th century. At that time, man, apparently in revolt against the "girlish," look began to use wax and paste to hold his hair down, a procedure especially important when the hair is parted in the middle.

Mustaches took on a new look with different shapes and sizes, some reflecting the person's personality or occupation. The long handlebar mustache, for instance, was affected mostly by the merchant.

Why does a man change his hairstyling? Mayb C" it's because he gets tired of the same old cover-up and hopes to find one that looks better on him (more the real him!). He might also find one that is more

comfortable or he rna} choose to copy the style of an idol. (Yul Brynner!?!).

Whatever the reason, man's hairstyling will probably change hundreds more times before this century is over. But isn't it a man's perrogative to wear his hair as he wishes?

This right or non-right (according to individual interpretation) has become a problem in modern society. A few years ago, many public schools did not permit a young man to wear his hair beyond a certain length; sideburns were to be neatly trimmed: mustaches Wl!re forb idden. rules also applied to the males on the faculty. The Supreme Court has now taken these decisions out of the hands of the school officials.

According to those who individualize their appearance in somewhat unusual ways, a boy with long hair should not necessarily be considered as irresponsible nor should he be labeled as "cool" or "farout." A boy with short hair should not have to suffer the labels "square" or "brain", but, by the same token, it should not be taken for granted that he is a fine and upstanding young man.

Whether or not society will ever learn to accept man's hairstyling, he will probably t:untinu<> to assert his individualism through this means.

Loyal Fans Agree: Nebraska Is No. 1

By Judy Goeschel

What makes 68,137 people assemble in one place on a Saturday afternoon to watch two teams running around trying to out-score each other? If you were one of those 68,137, you miJilit ask yourself the same question.

The day of the Nebraska-Minnesota football game was cloudy and cold. There didn't seem to be any color in the sky at all, but on the ground I saw nothing but RED.

We parked our car what seemed to be miles away from the stadium. As I tromped across railroad tracks, weeds, and muddy areas, all I could think of was- I can't wait till I get to my seat.

My Dad was decked out in red from head to toe. He was so anxious to get to his seat that instead of waiting for me, he walked about a block ahead. However, every now and then he would stop and turn around to see if I was still coming. As soon as I thought I was gaining on him, he'd start walking again. After 28 years of holding a season ticket, you'd think he'd realize that his seat would still be there when he got there.

Across the street from the stadium, some people were selling sweat-shirts advertising "Nebraska No. 1." "We have all sizes," said the salesgirl. (Looking at her overstuffed figure I wondered to myself what size she would have taken!!)

The next thing I knew I was being pulled across the street by my Dad. We our "official program" and began the ascent to Section 125 of the West Balcony. By this time my weary feet were aching and I could have cared less about any football game.

Everywhere I looked people, people, and more people! They all seemed to know where they were going, though, which is more than I can say for myself. I just followed the little man in the red cowboy hat with Nebraska stickers pasted all over it.

Green and Red-All Over

Huffing and puffing, we finally reached the West Balcony. I looked out across the green field of astro-turf and the sea of red. It was like turning on a color TV suddenly, everything was in living color.

At that instant, I was drawn into the anxious excitement of the crowd. The Minnesota team was out on the field exercising; Nebraska followed soon after. Tension was building as we watched them go through their drills. My Dad was shaking from the cold, although I think he was a little nervous, too. His case of the shakes stayed with him the eame

The teams went baclc tn th,.lr dressing rnorno cuul it time for thP bcutd's pre-game show. !'laying "There Is No nace Like Nebraska," it surely was impressive; 188 red-and-white band members lit up the green astro-turf like a Christmas tree.

As it formed the words GO BIG RED, everyone was on his feet clapping-you could tell they were proud of the Cornhusker marching band!

Finally, it was kick-otf time. There wasn't an empty seat to be found in the whole stadium. No, wait a minute, two empty seats behind us. I asked Dad where the people were who sat in those seats and he told me not to worry; they always come at the last minute.

It wasn't long and our two punctual fans "made the scene." Now the game could begin.

Bleachers Coach

There's not much one can say about the game itself. I remember one play in particular. Minnesota had the ball. Suddenly a man in the West Balcony shouted, "Intercept it!" The players must have heard him because the next thing I knew, it was Nebraska's ball following a beautiful interception. Frnm then on people were shouting to the West Balcony Coach, "Call for a touchdown, Mister!"

Nebraska couldn't hnve...pulled through, though, without the help of Section 125 of the West Balcony. Such original chants as "Go home, Gophers," and "Bury 'em" could be heard during the course of the game.

Section 125 was-by and large-satisfied with the nutcome of the game. A score of 35 - 7 isn't all that bad, but if you were in on a football pot at work, that one last touchdown could mean a few nasty words under your breath.

All in all, I think I did learn something from that afternoon of football. As the song says, "There is no place like Nebraska, where they're all true blue (red), We'll all stick together in all kinds of weather, for dear old Nebrdska U."

Committee Initiated

In 1919, Lincoln High hired an architect to estimate the cost of a trophy case.

In 1916, the Student Council was formed to provide better communication between students and faculty.

In 1915, Lincoln High School entered the State Tournaments for the very first time and came out in fine style - it won.

Due to schedule changes, juniors and seniors this year have no homeroom classes; therefore, a new system to provide for the representation of the senior class has been initiated.

A Senior Steering Committee has also been set up to take on some of the class responsibilities. Members of the Steering Committee were selected by vote of the senior class.

The four candidates receiving the highest number of votes became

class officers. They are Richard James, president; Leo Casiano, vice-president; JoAnn Highstreet, secretary; and Mark Weaver, treasurer. Members of the Steering Committee are Janet Behrens, Doug Brown, Sally Holtzclaw, Rita Kumm, Sheryl Loos, Pat Peterson, Sam Ridge, and Jo Ellen Shrader.

Some of the duties to be preformed by the committee include planning senior day and other senior activities,

Full Year Planned for DECA Returning AFS'ers

Exciting Summer Journeys

Henry Hall

"The two things I missed most were hamburgers and my family!" That's an unusual combination but that's what Henry Hall, a senior, felt after spending two full summer months in Finland as an AFS (American Field Service) student.

After traveling for about five days by plane, train, and boat, Henry finally ended up in · a two-day language and orientation camp He went on to meet his Finnish family and to begin the "most exciting summer" he had ever had.

DECA (Distributive Educational Clubs of America) ,began its 1971-72 activities with the election of officers. They are Marsha Mar, president; Marsha Petersen, vice-president; Toni Jones, secretary; Kathy Wiltshire, treasurer; Tino Orta, parliamentarian; and Millard Woods, news correspondent.

"The purpose of DECA is to develop future leaders for marketing and distribution DECA provides the insight on how to be a good leader," stafed Leo Casiano, a member of the club.

Among the activities planned for the upcoming year is the Officers Workshop, to be held in Grand Island, October 23.

Officers from clubs throughout the state are expected to attend.

Also on the calendar is the State Convention, scheduled March 4, 5, and 6 at the Nebraska Center. The City of Lincoln will be well represented as two state officers are from the Capitol City. They are Leo Casiano, from Lincoln High, and Carin LeRossignal, from Lincoln Southeast.

A coffee for parents of the honorees will be held from 8:15 to 8:45 in the cafeteria The assembly begins at 9 :00a.m.

His family lived on a farm near Oravasaari, Finland. He had a mother, father, two sisters, and three brothers. "The life style is at a much slower pace than in America," stated Henry.

"We got up early and had tea at 7 :00 a m. At 9:00 we had a large breakfast; at ll :00 there was a big lunch; then at 3:00 we had tea again

The big dinner is at 5:00. The meals weren't formal at all; there were potatoes in some form at every meal.

"Our farm was reasonably large; it consisted of a lot of farming area and a forest, and was near a lake " He11rv said it looked like typical American farm with cows, chickens, and pigs.

Some days Henry and others would work out in the forest chopping down trees to take to the factory or to use as firewood. They would take a basket of food with them and eat their meals in the forest, but would be back to the house in time for the big dinner.

The crops in that area consist mostly of grains (wheat, alfalfa, oats) and potatoes. Henry had the experience of weeding a potato field about the size of two city blocks.

In the middle of July, Henry went to Maltasmaki Political Summer School (about 80 miles from his family) and lived in a dormitory for two weeks with 55 students, including four AFS'ers, at this democratic systemized school.

Henry had an English class in the morning, and

trips.

lectures on civil disobedience, aggression, or international politics in the afternoons In the evening, the students sometimes heard guest speakers. Henry was always getting into political discussions with his friends.

The language barrier rarely existed at his Finnish home, but at school it was a real problem at first. However, with a few teachers and students speaking English, he got along all right.

After his two-week summer school, Henry returned to be with his Finnish family until his departure for Nebraska.

Henry says he was glad to get home to his normal way of life, but he said he really misses his Finnish family, all the tnends he made, and especially the great sauna baths.

Barb Brauer

Barb Brauer, also a senior was chosen to spend her summer in Famagusta, Cyprus. Famagusta, about 50,000 population, is quite a modern tourist city on the eastern coast. Barb left Lincoln June 22 and arrived at her Cypriot home June 25.

Barb had a mother, father, three brothers, and one sister, all of whom spoke English. Barb said her home was really small and resembled a bungalow

Her daily life was so carefree and easy. She said there were no pressures on her at all She usually awakened early and helped with the house work or any other preoccuping task.

There would be lunch at 1:00 and nap-time in the afternoon. Barb said she would walk downtown around 4:00 and browse through the stores. The evening meal would be around 8:30.

Barb said she just loved the food; there was alot of fresh fruit and vegetables and the whole island seemed to drink coca-cola.

At night she would listen to radio programs or write letters (she doesn't care for television)

On Sundays the family would go sightseeing around the Island and through the Troodos mountains. They always stopped to visit relatives; Barb said her family had relatives and friends all over the island and the hos:pitality was: magnificent.

Barb left her family August 27 and flew to Istanbul for a three-day reorientation camp for AFS'ers. She said there were 180 kids; they had meetings and rap sessions continually about their summers. The group only had two chaparones, and the students were allowed to tour Istanbul during their free time.

One of the greatest experiences Barb had was a twenty-minute stop at the Paris airport.

Barb was really glad to get home and see her parents, but sh"e said she misses the easy way of life and her Cypriot family.

Barb urges everyone to apply for AFS. "There are alot of problems that you encounter, but the experiences you get are much worth the problems."

Various Activities Stimulate Student Interest

Sho rt- Courses Pro- v ide-: Variations of Tradition

Who am I? What do I really want? What is my goal in life? Why does someo11e always !zal'e to tell me what to do and when to breath? Wh y can't schools offer courses tlzat are important to me and relevant to what I want in life ?

These are questions often pondered by teens of today. However, this year at Lincoln High, many changes and improvements have been made With graduation requirements practically non-existent, students have a great deal of freedom in selecting courses they feel are relevant to what they want.

Time schedules have become more flexible and there are an unlimited number of new courses to choose from. Everything from Morse Code to water polo is offered. in addition to variations of regular subjects. such as "Curse the Wealthy" or "First Ladies of the White House" (history short courses).

This year's short courses may be fun. challeng ing. and perhaps a bit unusual. but sure ly each is interesting in its own way and will probably become a tradition that will cont inue in the years to come.

luster Barber Mark Wene&

"Lettering in varsity football as a sophomore and intercepting a pass and making a touchdown last year against Westside" are Buster Barber's most memorable experiences in athletics.

Buster admits "losing to Hastings, this year had to be my most embarrassing.

"Football is my favorite sport," said Buster, "because there's 11 guys on the field at one time and it takes all those 11 men, with all they've got, to make up a good team; it's a game only for people who like physical contact."

From participation in athletics, Buster hopes to gain "respect from the other players and a little self-satisfaction."

When talking about Lincoln High, Buster stated that "the people make up the school. I thlnk there are alot of good people here so we must have a good school."

Buster's future plans are to go on to school somewhere, and also to do a little traveling.

"The thing I like most about Lincoln High is the students," stated Mark Weaver. "They are really alot of fun and they have spirit for their team.

Football is Mark's favorite sport because "it's a team effort and every game counts.

"From participation in athletics I hope to learn the importance of teamwork and to face competition."

Mark's most memorable experience in athletics was "participating in the Hastings football game as a junior, and being on the 1971 Trans - Nebraska Championship football team.

"My most embarrassing moment in athletics was play!ng on the varsity football team as a sophomore and bemg called 'swivel-hips' because I had hip-pointers on both sides," admitted Mark.

Mark's plans for the future are to go on to college.

Two Links, AFS Finalists

"I was really shocked but extremely happy." That was Holly Hinman's first reaction after she found out that she was one of two Lincoln High School AFS finalists. The other fortunate junior is Shela Shanks.

Holly said she applied for AFS because she feels it's "a great opportunity to go with people in another country and learn all of

their customs and habits.'-' Holly would like to be a part of the summer program so she can spend her senior year at LHS. She would like to go the the Netherlands or Switzerland.

She thinks that it would be even better if more people could participate in the program in order to promotS' understanding between peoples all over the world.

Shela 'Happy'

Shela says she felt "happy, surprised, and excited aU at once," when she first heard the news. She applied for the AFS program because she thinks that being able to live abroad would be a great experience.

She was also influenced very much by Marsha Porter, who was an AFS'er from Lincoln High a year ago. Marsha has told her much about her year's study in New Zealand.

Shela would like to participate in the school-year program because it would her a better and longer chance to really participate in another country's culture and way of life.

"Participation in the AFS program could really be a big step towards growing up and could help me be a more complete person because of the unlimited exposures."

Although she would like to go "anywhere," her preferences are Spain and Great Britain.

Westside Story

Opera Roles Cast

After several weeks of tryouts and waiting, the opera cast has been chosen. This year's musical, Westside Story, is a modern adaption, by Arthur Laurents, of Shakespeare's, Romeo and Juliet. The play was set to music by Leonard Bernstein with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.

The opera takes place in New York City and centers around the problem of gang warfare. The two gangs, the Sharks (Puerto Rican) and the Jets (American) have a desperate, continuous rivalry going which involves the feelings of the young people growing up amidst it all.

Journalism

Conference

Awareness of Problem Scheduled

November first is going to be an unusually quiet day at Lincoln High, especially second floor around Room 217. Why? Because this is the day that members of the Advocate staff, Links board, and some journalism students will be attending the NHSPA (National High School Press Association) on the University of Nebraska east campus.

The purpose of this convention is to further enrich the knowledge of publication staffs and journalism students. New techniques will be introduced and ideas will be exchanged between the staffs of the various high schools.

Richard and a cello player from East High School are the only high school students who have been accepted.

The symphony's first participation of the season was at the Van Cliburn recital, presented October 12 at the Stuart Theater.

Richard is also a member of Lincoln Youth Symphony (an orchestra for high school students).

SORRY

The Advocate staff wishes to correct an oversight made in the last issue. Jacqueline Tapley's name was omitted from the list of honor roll students. The paper would also like to apologize for misspelling her name on the Scribe Board picture cutline.

Sometimes there's more to an American History class than meets the eye. Miss Judith Roderick's third-and fourth-period American History classes proved this when they conducted a poverty poll.

The purpose of the poD was to analyze personal attitudes on poverty. One objective was to see if these persons associated poverty only with minority races.

From the poll, the classes were able to formulate a definition applicable· both economically and psychologically: a person can be poor in material wealth but fortunate in terms of personal values.

Approximately 420 persons were questioned in a variety of age groups. The survey statements to which answers of agree, disagree, or undecided were sought, included: continued on

Editorial Comment

Scheduling: Success or Failure?

At the beginning of this school year, Lincoln High School instituted a new type of scheduling. Although it is still in the experimental stage, after seven weeks, varying opinions of it’s success have been expressed.

The consensus is that there are “several things good about it just as there are several things going against it.”

The major change in the scheduling procedure is the split arrival and departure times of students. Many like this because they’re allowed to leave at 2:30 or, for some, even 12:30, which allows them more free time or the opportunity to hold down jobs.

On the other hand, although sophomores may like being able to socialize with just other sophomores from 8:00—9:00 and upperclassmen may like seeing just upperclassmen from 2:30—3:30, what is this doing to interclass relationships? While this situation may not be bad for upperclassmen, sophomores are almost entirely separated from juniors and seniors.

This sort of separation is not good for a school: a school needs unity and interaction among all students. This is not helping but rather seems to be dividing LHS up more than it has ever been. If this sort of thing continues, next year’s seniors and juniors will not know each other too well and incoming sophomores will again be unacquainted with upperclassmen.

If this scheduling is continued, within a few years all the classes will be working almost independently of each other. Some independence is obviously good but a school should be made up of three classes that work together and learn together. When much of the contact between the classes is taken away, the “oneness” of the student body is eliminated or at least jeopardized.

Not only is this scheduling causing separation problems but, as a direct result, is creating other perhaps minor but still important considerations.

One is the small participation and membership in clubs. Most clubs meet at 3:30 in order to enable sophomores to join but they must not be joining because most clubs are pathetically small, Is this just because most people have lost interest in the types of things clubs do or could it be that 3:30 seems late enough to be in school without adding extra time by joining clubs?

It is probably some of both and the obvious solution is either to change clubs and make them more interesting and relevant or else to have everyone dismissed at one time—possibly at 3:00 or even earlier.

However, not only aren’t sophomores joining but many juniors and seniors aren’t interested enough to stay around the school for an hour just to go to a club. Some clubs are

Scheduling

Helps Whom?

HOLD IT, ADMINISTRATION! YOU’RE MOVING TOO FAST, COUNSELORS!

I love the nine-week courses but that computer who put out my schedule should be dismantled and made into a cash register. Any human would have the sense to divide up my “funsie” classes equally with the academics. And now, I find it is far too much “trouble.” Thanks LHS, for making my senior year one I’ll never forget.

FED UP

P.S. If you don’t see me around much next semester it’s because I’ll work after school and then do my homework...for six solids!

folding because they do not have enough members to function properly.

Another small but noticeable problem caused by this scheduling is that when sophomores get out of classes at 3:30 the school is practically deserted. Students who are in the school but not in classes from 8:00—9:00 or from 2:30—3:30 are forced to be quiet and aren’t allowed to go into certain parts of the school.

The scheduling has some very definite advantages. It gives students a wider selection of classes which stimulates interest in everyone. Also, it gives a more relaxed type of school day. Time is much more leisurely and social before and after school. Lunch is served earlier, a service which many pupils and teachers Like.

All or some of this may sound trivial or inadequate but to a school that in this day and age needs as much togetherness as possible, this year’s scheduling is not good.

There are several solutions to these problems, the main one being quite simple. It would be fairly easy to make 8:00—9:00 and 2:30—3:30 classes optional to all students. This would automatically heal any sort of split between: classes. The mini-courses and new semester and year-long courses should be kept and added to if possible. There should never be any sort of scheduling where one class is separated or in any way differentiated from other classes. Lincoln High needs to be one solid functioning unit and at this point it is not.

In 1961, Miss Dorcas Weatherby, assistant principal, received a letter of thanks from Mr. Ted Sorensen for the success of his high school education after he had been appointed to the position of Special Counsel to the President, during the time J. F. Kennedy held office.

In 1951, Lincoln High Peppers purchased a mascot for the school. It was a three-foot, black and white stuffed panda bear who was coaxed into wearing a red L sweater.

fl 1941, the fad was to wear the “new” saddle shoe. The traditional black and white or the brown and white shoe was replaced by one that was totally white.

So Little Children Can Play

Links Lend Helping Hands

Giving that extra helping hand is one of Lincoln High's foremost attributes to the community. Fine examples of this are members of Mr. James Joyner's Senior Trades Woodwork class, who were contacted to contribute their time and effort in creating and building a playground for the Lincoln Child Care Center at II th and Saratoga Streets.

John O'Shea, who is connected with the Lincoln Child Care Center, designed the plans for the playground and the equipment that was built. Mr. Joyner noted that some of his students also designed pieces of equipment for the playground.

The playground area is for the Head Start Program where ADC (Aid to Dependent Children) children can play.

According to him, the government granted a fund for the exploration in building playgrounds with different types of inexpensive materials. "The materials that were used for the project were relatively cheap and were donated by a number of different suppliers. "

Some of the equipment built includes two large tire swings, a climbing jungle-gym made from tires, an A-frame play-house, a balance beam made from a telephone pole, and three platforms of different heights.

The boys worked fifth and sixth periods for a week and a half although many would stay later. Mr. Joyner

said, "Children seem to appreciate and enjoy a playground more when the equipment isn't expensive or ready-made."

A few of the student carpenters said they really liked building the playground for the kids, knowing that it is something that they can enjoy.

Band's 'Playing' Not Limited to Instruments

The talent of the Lincoln High Band is not limited to playing instruments.

The versatile band has also been playing football. At the Northeast Pep Rally, the band presented a skit portraying the Links victory over the Rockets.

October 15, about 7 5 members of the band were guests of the Southeast Band for a pre-game dinner. The dinner was held in the Southeast cafeteria. Members of the S E. band and their parents provided the food. A cake was presented to Mr. Orville Voss, director of the LHS band, by the members of the Southeast Band.

Open House

Scheduled

The Lincoln High School Open House will be held tonight.

The program, which will begin at 7:30 pm in the schoo 1 auditorium, will feature the Sophomore Girls Glee, under the direction of Miss Dorthea Gore, singing The Thanksgiving Song, by Katherine Davis; Lone Wild Bird, a Southern Folk Song, arranged by David N. Johnson; Sing Alleluia for Your Soul, by Jerry Friend; and It's So Wonderful to be Young, by Gerald Myrow.

Parents will then go through the daily schedule of their child. Counselors will be available in their rooms during the evening to meet and talk with parents.

Attempting to spice up and add a few laughs to the pep rallies, different groups are allowed to perform the skits, instead of just the Peppers. Here, band members simulate their ideas of how the game should go at the Northeast pep rally.

Junior Pep Club has gotten well underway with the election of officers. They are Debbie Kennedy, president; Lynn Lienhart, first vice-president; Vicki Jones, second vice-president; Linda Porter, secretary; and Noala VanAndel, treasurer.

So far, 125 junior girls have signed up to be in the club, equalling the number in the senior club.

County Government Day Approaching

"I think it is important that every American citizen should understand the workings of his government which includes government at the county level," said Miss Wilhelmina Johnson, history teacher and Lincoln High's County Government sponsor.

"Students who have previously attended County Government Day are amazed at the large amount of business which is transacted in Lancaster county and the number of services it provides."

Lincoln High first entered the County Government program in 194 7 as one of six pilot schools in the state. Today, every high school in Lancaster County has

representatives in this activity. District Court Judge Herbert Ronin serves as the state chairman.

Juniors who were interested filed during the week of October ll, and campaigned until the primary election was held. A general election scheduled for November 2, will designate the winners who will spend a day at the courthouse.

At the courthouse, tours, groups sessions, the opportunity to sit in on a trial, and lunch will be arranged. Each officer should be able to gain a better understanding of the office he holds and its function by the association with the present office holder.

Uniforms will differ from the

the

the sweater and the sleeves. Black, four-pleated skirts, red knee socks, and black shoes will complete the outfits.

Junior Pep Club members will work under the seniors but both pep organizations will operate under the same constitution.

Juniors are required to go to reserve games and will get a merit for attending varsity games (the opposite of seniors).

"Being the first Junior Pep Club shouldn't cause any problems. I feel it will help improve the spirit at Lincoln High and will give the reserves added support," stated Lynn.

Resource Centers Aid Students

Special Work Areas Set Aside for Study

New to Lincoln High School this year are three resource centers-Math, Counseling, and Art, which were designed to provide areas in which the student can get help or work on his own.

Math Center

A Math Resource Center has been developed for the use of the student who is having trouble understanding the course for which he is enrolled or just as a place to fill the need to get those sometimes troublesome problems done. It can also be used to research math projects and reports.

The Center, located in Room 327, is stocked with 250 math-related books that may be checked out by students and teachers. There are also math models that are used mainly by classroom teachers.

The room is open before and after school. In the afternoon, an aide, there to assist the student with his problems, is available for individual tutoring.

Miss Francis Buell, head of the Math Department, urges students to "come in and look over the Math Center, they may find something useful to them."

denThis semester the Lincoln High School teaching staff IS augmented by 2 9 student teachers, college students who are

Art Center

The Art Department has introduced three new resource centers to aid the student to further his individual ability in the field of fine arts.

The Center, in Room 148, consists of a "3-dimensional" room, pottery, and sculpturing area. At the end ofthe nine weeks it will also include facilities for textile and basket weaving.

In Room 147, "2-dimensional" art, print making, and drawing facilities are offered. Later the department will add painting and etching.

The most popular of the three art centers is the photography lab located in Room 145.

Students may use any or all centers until 5 pm each day. Available for assistance is Mrs. Katha Dalton, an aide from the University of Nebraska.

On the average, I 0 or more students use these facilities each day, but "I hope that more students become aware of its availability," said Mrs. Louise Bereuter, chairman of the department.

Pictured in the top panel are Joan Olson, Doug Brown, Mike Weedman, and Darrel Stevens looking over the dark room facilities; (second panel) Darrel and Mike experiment with the silkscreening process in the Art Center; (third panel) Susan Lind and Gary Busboom preview college admission data in the Counseling Center; (bottom panel)

Phyllis Johnson works busily, trying to find an easy solution to her math problems by using the reference materials in the Math Center.

Counseling Center

The College Career Center, a welcome addition to the counseling area, Room 208, was designed to provide a source for information about careers and job opportunities.

The Center has a number of new books on vocational openings, information on how to qualify for scholarships, and other books for college entrance such as, Guide to College Majors, A Chance To Go To College, and College Charts. According to Mrs. Virginia Roberts, senior counselor, the most useful book for students planning

This book gives specific information on requirements for admission tests to be taken, tells how to apply for scholarships, and provides general information about the college itself. The book has information about most colleges in the United States.

In addition to using the Center, "seniors should check the scholarship eligibility lists outside Room 208," said Miss Dorcas Weatherby, assistant principal for Student Services.

History Class Conducts Poverty Poll

and progresses as the company profits. continued from page 1

Most poor people live in big cities.

If a poor person doesn't have a job, it is basically his fault. He is probably lazy. 3. Most poor people don't care as much about their children as middle-income people do. 4. Most poor people have as many opportunities as everyone else; they don't take advantage of them. 5. Most poor people in

country are black.

The poor really don't mind bad housing, unemployment, and being on welfare since they are used to such conditions. 7. Probably the best definition of poverty is lack of money.

10. Not only do the poor have less money but they are often cheated or taken advantage of by merchants.

II. Most poor people spend more money on liquor than middle-income people do.

The f e d e r a I government is now spending enough money to fight poverty. 9. People have been exaggerating the amount of poverty in this country. About one out of twenty families can be considered poor today.

12. The children of poor people have the same opportunities to make good as the children of middle-and upper-income families.

Most person polled "disagreed" with the 12 statements. However, the majority "agreed" that people are not poor because they are lazy, but because of a lack of education there are less opportunities for them to get ahead. Because of this lack that deprives them of a comfortable income, this condition of poverty will be with them all their lives and will be passed on to their children.

Student teachers (from left) Miss Charlotte Bumgarner, Robert Shaner, and Miss Pat Zadina try to catch up on their "homework."

Navy Pea Coats

Tino Orta

"The people and the teachers" are the two things that Tino Orta likes best about Lincoln High, because "they are the ones who make the school what it is."

Tino's favorite sport is gymnastics because "as an individual, if you lose your event there is nobody to blame but yourself.

"My most memorable experience in athletics was in my first gymnastics meet. I was the frrst one to do a cross with my legs three feet apart! It has to be my most embarrassing moment," admitted Tino.

From his participation in athletics, Tino hopes to gain "the right to say I tried, and-if so-a possible scholarship."

His future plans are to attend the University of Nebraska.

Frank O'Connor

"The thing I like most about Lincoln High is the fme athletic and academic traditions,'' stated gymnast Frank O'Connor.

Frank's favorite sport is gymnastics because "while you do your routine you're the only one there and you have to make it."

His most memorable experience in athletics was "being the first person in the state to do a front 1 1/2 rollout in free exercise. My most embarrassing experience was tripping and crashing on my head in the state meet while doing my front 1 l/2."

Gaining self-control and meeting new people are what Frank hopes to gain from his participation in athletics.

Frank's future plans are to attend the University of Nebraska and later to become a coach.

Bulldogs; Knights Win

Northeast

Three touchdowns in the last seven minutes of the game gave the Links football team a 26-15 victory over cross-town rival Northeast, October 8, at Seacrest Field.

The Rockets scored the first time they had the ball as they drove 45 yards to take a 7-0 lead which they held until the beginning of the second half.

Lincoln High's frrst score came at the start of the third quarter when Mark Weaver went 64 yards around right tackle to bring the Links score within one point, 7-6.

Northeast's final score came in the third quarter; the try for the two-point conversion was good and the Rockets lead was increased 15-6.

The Links weren't out of the game, yet. With seven minutes remaining in the game, Buster Barber intercepted a Northeast pass and returned it to the Rockets 30-yard line. Nine plays later, quarterback Bob Folsom busted over the. goal to pull the Links score within three

points, 15-12. The Rockets were then held on a third-down-and-one situation and were forced to punt. The kick carried 13 yards which put the Links in good field position to score the go-ahead

touchdown.

A 21-yard pass from Folsom to Bob Knollenberg was the biggest play in the crucial drive which included a 15-yard run by Barber and a 12-yard sprint by Weaver.

Weaver ran over from one yard out and the Links went ahead for the first time in the game. Pat Weixelman kicked the extra point to make it 19-15.

With 2: 12 remaining, guard Steve Kontos recovered a Rocket fumble on the Northeast 36. With 13 seconds left, Weaver ran over from four yards out to give the Links the insurance touchdown. Weixelman kicked the extra point and the Links won the game, 26-15.

The Links rushed for an impressive 282 yards and gained 15 first downs; the Rockets gained 98 yards rushing and six first downs.

The Knights scored in every quarter and took advantage of the Links mistakes. The Links first and only score came in the third quarter after Buster Barber went over from the one to cap an 80-yard, seven-play drive. Pat Weixelman kicked the extra point but the Knights were still ahead, 20-7.

Links Storm Up Capitol Hill Students Explore United Nations

By Chan Taylor

"Always hoped that I'd be an apostle, Knew that I would make it if I tried, • Then when we retire we can write the gospels, So they'll still talk about us when we've died."

Many Lincoln High students have heard these words from Jesus Christ, Superstar before. But to Links Susan Staple, Felicia McWilliams, Brad Grell, and Chan Taylor they have a special meaning. These four persons heard them from a Broadway stage in New York City during the week of October 22-30 when this traveling QUartet was part of

the fifth annual United Nations-Washington D.C. Travel Seminar.

The trip, sponsored by the United Methodist, United Presbyterian, and United Church of Christ of Nebraska, included, in all, 70 students and 10 counselors who went on the journey for the purpose of viewing first hand the United Nations and the United States Government at work.

A stop in Chicago highlighted the second day of the journey. Here the seminar broke up into small groups and toured the city on their own. A popular stop was the City Museum of Art.

Upon arrival in New York, at approximately 7:00 a.m. after traveling all night on busses, did the young Nebraska travelers go right to their hotel rooms and get some sleep like normal people would have? No! They went straight to their hotel rooms, washed, changed their clothes, and went to church! Half went to St. Patrick's Cathedral, the others to Marble Collegiate Church to hear Dr. Norman Vincent Peale.

This began the whirlwind of activities. At the United Nations, the group toured the building and heard seminar lectures on the U.N. and how it works. The group which was there the day after the Nationalist Chinese were ousted, sat in

the General Assembly room listening to the various countries' reasons why they voted as they did.

Later, the travelers were given free time which they used to roam the various sites of the city: Times Square, the Empire State Building, Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, and many more points of interest. The event which ' seemed to excite them the most was seeing Jesus Christ, Superstar, at the Mark Hellinger Theater on Broadway.

Bright and early on the morning of October 27, the busses pulled out of New York bound for the capitol of the United States of America

·'Westside Story' Previewed

Westside Story is the title of this year's musical to be presented by the senior choir on December 10 and 11 at 7:30 in the LHS Auditorium.

The musical is a modern adaption by Arthur Laurents, of a basic theme dating back, at least, to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The play was set to music by Leonard Bernstein with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.

The usual pre-production frustrations are presenting themselves. Some of the problems of directing are blocking the scenes and

getting "more fellows to try out for the chorus. 1' said Mr. Ivan Caldwell, director.

The members of the speaking cast have encountered different problems. "The hardest thing for me is singing the high notes and thinking about blocking at the same time," commented Chris Sayre, who portrays Tony, the lead character

Mary Raymer finds it "quite difficult to forget my own character and create a totally different one." Minor problems for all cast m;:mbers are learninR the

musical score, memorizing lines, and being on time for rehearsal.

The cast agrees that "the best thing about the opera is the people that are putting it together."

Almost all the cast has had previous experience in theater productions, but for some it will be their "moment of truth "

"The success of the opera will require much hard work from everyone involved," commented a member of the cast.

Pep rallies-an old traditional high school festivity-are they worth the bother and inconvenience they create?

Of course some students are "for" anything that will shorten the afternoon classes, but are they willing to huddle together in Johnson Gym to follow a group of cheerleaders in cheering and clapping?

A majority of the student body is willing to march into the gym, climb up the bleachers to a seat, and participate in the yelling. It is that small minority who don't attend the pep rallies that spoil everyone else's fun. These few students who don't think they will be missed or that cheering back and

Now comes the part where you can help: clioosea candidat e t o ·support. There is a wide field of capable men and wom en any one of whom could perhaps do the j ob of President as you would like to see it done. Among the growing list of declared candidates, thus far, are -Shirley Chisolm, Henry Jackson, Eugene McCarthy, George McGovern, Edmund Muskie, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan.

For each of the next several issues, The Advocate, will be focusing on two or three of these persons so as to inform you of their basic beliefs and ideas. This material is being compiled from news sources including: the local newspapers, Time and Newsweek magazines, and television news coverage.

Edmund MuskieEdmund Muskie is a democratic Senator from Maine. Senator Muskie has been touring the country for several weeks visiting with people and making speeches.

He has op posed many of the President's plans and issues. He has h is own plans to replace Prc::;itlent Njxon's price-wage freeze; he proposes that $250 million be added for unemployment benefits and $7 million in temporary consumer tax credits.

He also feels that President Nixon should have consulted labor officials before inaugurating his price and wage freeze. About it he said, "a President who is willing to travel to Peking for negotiations with the Chinese Communists should be willing to travel down the street for an economic conference with organized labor."

Senator Muskie is one of the big names in the ecology movement and has been outspoken in his efforts for the improvement of the environment.

He declares himself against U.S. support in South Vietnam and has been for the past several years trying to get bills passed to halt the bombings.

On questions of Civil Liberties, Senator Muskie is extremely liberal, opposing the Nixon Administration's No-Knock Bill; he has attacked the FBI for its survei1lance of an Earth Day speech he gave last year.

Richard Nixon

President Richard Nixon has held the highest office of the United States for the past three years.

forth does thei r spirits any good, abuse the privilege of having pep rallies by skipping out.

Pep rallies may not be as exciting as they are cut out to be. Granted it is hard to raise spirit when the only cheer the entire school body participates in is "Competition Victory," but why is it so hard for some people to just cooperate and go to the pep assembly?

An alternative used in the past for attending the rallies has been going to a study hall for that half-hour. But how can one expect students who don't want to attend pep rallies to sit in the cafeteria during that period?

How successful would an optional pep rally be? Undoubtedly, not very many people would show up if they had the alternative not to. It is a very sorry excuse for school spirit if students have to be led down to the gym and have teachers serve as guards so no one will escape.

Pep rallies help to break the monotony of the school day, try to bring the classes a little closer together, raise the spirit in the school, publicize the sports events, and honor the athletes.

With the lack of support and enthusiasm pep

rallies are given, it will be up to the student body as to whether or not they will be continued.

In 1955, dance instructors from Arthur Murray taught some of Lincoln High students the fundamentals of the Jitterbug, Waltz, and the Tango.

In 1944, a boy pep club was organized. The guys were known as the "Salts."

In 1942, the graduation picture special included "one dozen finest quality photographs including one oil colored 8 x l 0, and press print-all for $3.50."

In l 9 3 5, the Links suffered a mouse epidemic. In desperate exasperation, a girl set a mousetrap under her desk and actually caught one. A rather conservative Republican, President Nixon has yet to make a definite commitment to run for re-election in 1972. In the past three years he has slid up and down the polls depending upon his latest actions or convictions.

He has been a strong supporter of the South Vietnamese, feeling that U.S. troops and money should be sent there for help and aid.

President Nixon plans to go to China and Russia sometime in early 1972 in hopes of further improving United States relations with these countries.

He has approved millions of dollars• for the warfare plants and factories. He is currently involved in the continuing phases of his price-wage freeze program, in which wages of workers are to be kept at the same level throughout the duration of the freeze. This is an effort to curb inflation. This plan which has been widely criticized has also as widely been claimed as a great success.

You are social by nature and hate to be alone. You want the world to be warm and mellow like the glow of a fire place. You probably will lead a life of single blessedness.

PINK? You probably have lived a sheltered existence, or wish you had. You are affectionate, friendly, cheerful but never go to impulsive extremes. The joyful and easy-going life is for you, with all its comforts and blessings, but without hard effort on your part. You wish you had been born rich and would know what to do if you were.

BLUE-GREEN? You are fastidious, sensitive, and have excellent taste. You are emotionally cold, self-centered, and find it difficult to release your affections. You are quite capable of managing your own affairs. While .YOU are independent, you really need loving care and adoration.

Irish Visitors Tour Lincoln High

‘Seemed To Like LHS’

Not long ago, Lincoln High welcomed four faculty members of the Agriculture Department of the University College in Dublin, Ireland. Mr. Harry Kuklin, Lincoln High School assistant principal, and members of the student body gave them the grand tour of Lincoln High which included lunch.

According to Mr. Kuklin, Professor E. G. Clarke, Dr. Leo Corran, Mr. E. Gallager, and Professor Des McAleese were visiting the University of Nebraska to gain an understanding of how agriculture is taught. At their expressed wish to observe a typical high school, the University referred them to Lincoln High.

They told Mr. Kuklin they were interested in an American high school because in Ireland the government decides what subjects should be taught and regulates the emphasis put upon each.

Barb Brauer, one of the students who showed the guests around was pleased by their reaction. She said, “They seemed to like what they saw and asked a lot of questions.”

COCEP, the Committee on Co mbating Environmental Pollution got into full swing several weeks ago. On October 28, it was visited by two members of an Ecology group from Lincoln East. Two girl speakers told COCEP members what their organization is doing for the betterment of the environment. They told how they had placed boxes in every classroom for the collection of trash. When the containers are filled they will be gathered up and taken to the paper recycling plant.

The East High Economics class requested

the help of Lincoln High’s COCEP in one of its other projects concerning paper and can recycling. They have had two trucks at Meadowlane Shopping Center and Clock Tower East for several weeks. These are placed centrally in the East High district and anyone can take paper and tin or aluminum cans to them.

geared to both newspaper and yearbook staffs. A separate section was held for photography.

Each student attended two of the small sectional meetings or workshops, had the opportunity to be among the first public groups to tour the new ETV facilities, attended a large group meeting to compare notes with other staffs, and took time out to relax and eat lunch.

At the conclusion of the day, awards were presented to last year’s outstanding newspaper and yearbook.

The Omaha World-Herald trophy for the best Class A newspaper was won by the Lincoln East Oracle. The best yearbook in the Class A division, and winner of the KMTV trophy, was the Omaha Westside Shield.

The Lincoln High yearbook, The Links, received honorable mention.

Breezing over the picturesque Maryland countryside, the travelers strained their eyes to catch glimpses of the various government buildings. The Washington that greeted them was a pretty “daylight” city with over 700 small parks, main streets torn up in preparation for a new subway system, and a crime rate which persuaded counselors to forbid anyone to go out at night.

One seminar session was held in the old senate building where the Nebraskans learned the ins and outs of the Supreme Court. Other group activities were touring the White House, Arlington Cemetary, and Mt. Vernon, and viewing a rock musical entitled Mother Earth at Ford’s Theater.

The rest of the time was declared free and the young travelers moved out and enjoyed the city under the warm autumn sun. Some went to national monuments, others were on the south lawn ef WhiLe !Iuusc when PrCBidnt Tito of Yugoslavia arrived. Others went to the city’s ghetto to see the other side of American life.

It was in this city that the author of this article earned the distinction of becoming the only member of the seminar to get lost.

A worship service after a dinner with Congressman David Martin (Republican, Nebraska) dominated the last evening in Washington. Music from Jesus Christ, Superstar was used: each one in the group was encouraged to confess any sins he had commited toward another on the journey. There was some shedding of tears, earnest handshakes, and a general feeling of good will.

Lincoln High’s representatives had varied reactions toward the trip. Susan Staple liked New York over Washington because “it was busier with more things to do.” She realized how hard it is for everyone to work together in the United Nations. Susan came to the conclusion that “the U.S. Government doesn’t lie, they just don’t tell you everything.” She thought the Senate and House activities were boring.

Felicia McWilliams also favored New York because she got to meet different groups of people. From the trip she got the impression that people are totally for war and that the “country is the government,” instead of the “people being the country.”

Brad Grell also voted for New York because it was “cleaner and safer.” He didn’t like the crime in D.C. Brad had always wanted to see the east coast. he said he gained much from making new friends and from learning about international and national court systems.

The author was the lone dissenter in the group. He preferred the nation’s capitol. “I had a strange feeling as I went through the White House. I thought Washington was a prettier city than New York.”

The weary band arrived home on Halloween. A reunion is scheduled in March in Broken Bow.

As he sat reflecting on the journey, one of the travelers summed it up in these words, “In spite of all the great technological advances in mass communication, the best way to become acquainted with your fellow human beings is still to simply step out your front door.”

Fourteen students will be representing Lincoln High at the Doane College High School Model United Nations.

When the United Nations simulation is held at Doane College on November 20, Lincoln High will be participating for the fifth year.

Delegates representing Denmark are Asta Birkeland, Musa Bish, Barb Brauer, and Delores Gladbach; Israel will be represented by Steve Forde, Henry Hall, and John Luethje.

Bratt, Rick Crowder, and Alan Trupp. Representing the United Kingdom are Sally Holtzclaw, Mary Mesner, Ray Nelson, and Carol Yoakum.

Topics under discussion will include Nuclear Disarmanent, Ecology, Apartheid, and International Security.

Miss Judith Roderick, sponsor, feels it will be a great experience to learn how the U.N. functions and what it can and cannot do. She also feels it will be an ideal time to meet other students interested in the United Nations.

Is Special Event Nearing?

Be Clever- Trap Your Man!

It's that time of year again! Time for parties, dances, formals, and most of all, time for girls to start thinking of ways to trap their favorite guy into accompanying them to these memorable events.

Due to popular request, The Advocate has decided to publish its own guide on "Trapping the Eligible Man "

The first step is to gather up all of the posters and leaflets found around school advertising the particular event you have in mind, and plaster them all over the "intended's" locker. If for some unknown reason your "intended" isn't making the scene at his locker, then cars and houses are quite appropriate for these minor hints.

Meanwhile, you commence to look for a dress. This will help to convince you and all your friends that you are going. And after all, if you can convince yourself, you can convince anyone, right?

When you have located a dress, the wisest move is to check all the stores in town for duplicates. Since most stores' policy is to hold a dress for only two days, you must alternate stores until the question is popped.

If time is running out and all else fails, you should buy the dress on approval, being careful to keep all price tags intact and receipts in order, in case of a forced return.

In the meantime, there are many valuable hints that can be dropped in

person, such as humming the theme song of the particular event under your breath every time you see him, or innocently pointing to one of the few remaining posters and asking, "Oh! What's that?" Or if your man in question is making himself scarce around school, you can always place a few anonymous phone calls announcing. "There's only-more shoppmg days for tickets to-!"

If absolutely nothing works, don't spend the evening sitting at home contemplating suicide. There are many fun pastimes you may occupy yourself with.

You can get to work early by getting revenge on all those undeserving people that will be attending the event that you should be at. First, you make voo-doo dolls of all the girls who are goi.ng and stick pins in them. Also, for all the ratty boys who are going and could have asked you but didn't, you can draw pictures of rats and put them on their houses.

Then when the time comes for the dance, and you're just dying to see what everyone looks like, you can always don your wig and sunglasses, and take newspapers with big holes in them and cruise the area until you thoroughly cased the joint.

It's never too early to start working on a project of this sort. It's always nice to go to events like this, but remember it's not the end of the world if you don't go; sometimes you even have more fun.

Doors To Open in lincoln;

TriOs First Stop on Tour

A new sound is coming to Lincoln on November 12 at Pershing Auditorium, when The Doors will be pe rforming th e first concert on the first tour in a year and a half.

The trio, which includes John Densmore, Robbie Krieger, and Ray Manzarek, is trying to prove itself after the sudden death, last July in Paris, of Jim Morrison, the lead-singer poet and dramatic focus of the group.

After recovering from the shock of Jim's death, the group decided to stay together because they felt that they "still had a lot of music left in them."

The decision to stay together brought up another problem: the group had to think about a lead vocalist. Due to Mam:arek's previous experience from filling

in for Morrison , it was de cided that he take over.

The Doors latest album is Other Voices, which they feel may well be their finest, since it is instrumentally, lyrically, and vocally unique The musicians certainly do ·see the album as a new direction, but they refuse to see it as a break from the past.

Manzarek explains, "It's hard to compare it to what you've done before because everything is just one more facet of the same personality. No one is the same all the time. You have moods: happy, sad, crazy, whatever. The music's part of that."

Krieger has assumed most of the writing load for the group. Some of his more popular numbers are: "Light My Fire," "Love Me Two Times," and "Touch Me."

Michelle Nissen, a senior at Lincoln High and J. A. Bank president, was convincing enough in her discussion of the new bank's prospects that she was able to sell the first $1 share of stock to Paul Amen, president of NBC and a 1934 graduate of Lincoln High. Asked if she expected the business to pay a dividend, Michelle replied, "Sure!"

with a

She assured Mr. Amen that the J. A. Bank will maintain its account with NBC. Several NBC employees are acting as advisors to the new project.

Through the Junior Achievement Program, high school students learn about business by setting up and operating mini-businesses of their own. Among the enterprises being started-each operated by a group of 12 to 20 teenagers-are the manufacturing of decorative flowers, bookends, fancy coat hangers, and personalized stationary.

The youth participating will make and market their products and keep the financial books. In May, near the end of the school year, the businesses will liquidate and pass on any profits to shareholders.

According to Michelle, the J. A. Bank will handle savings and checking accounts and make loans to the other Junior Achievement businesses.

"We don't make personal loans," she said, "but we expect Joan demand from the businesses for materials and inventory."

Other officers elected at the bank's first Board of Directors meeting are Diane Schainost of Southeast, secretary, and Perry Esquivel, of Northeast, treasurer.

Tom Staley

Gymnastics is Tom Staley's favorite sport because "there's always new tricks to learn and you have something new to look forward to.

"My most memorable experience in athletics was competing in the state meet and lettering as a sophomore," admitted Tom, "but I sure was embarrassed when Coach Strough described me in the awards assembly as 'having arms like a gorilla and legs like tooth picks.' "

From his participation in athletics Tom hopes to earn a scholarship to the University of Nebraska but most of all he wants to gain self-control.

According to Tom, "Lincoln High has a great athletic program and coaching staff, and I really like the way the students accept each other as equals."

Steve Kontos

The things Steve Kontos likes best about Lincoln High are the kids and the great traditions.

"My favorite sports are football and baseball because success takes each member on the team giving a I 00 percent effort; if I give my 100 percent I will feel satisfied," he said.

Steve's most memorable experience in athletics was "going to state in baseball iJ.nd winning Trans-Nebraska in football last year. I really was embarrassed this year when I got baggy pants during the Northeast football game.''

From his participation in sports, Steve. hopes "to gain more friends and have fun playing in the games."

He plans to go to college and possibly participate in athletics.

Finish Tough, Successful Seasons

The Links reserve football ·team finished the season with a 4-4 record. The team won over Beatrice, Pius, Northeast, and Grand Island, but lost to East, Southeast, Hastings, and Westside.

Coach Bill Story commented, "We're always disappointed when we don't win them all. Fundamentally, we were much improved over last year's team. These guys were a fine group with good attitudes and they never gave up no matter how far they were down.

"We scored two touchdowns against Westside, who were the Metro champs; against Hastings, we came back with four touchdowns in the second half. Even after losing four games, these guys came back and rededicated themselves to the game.''

Mermaids Conclude Competitive Season

East Invitational

The girls swim season is now officially over. The last meet in which the Links took part was the first annual Lincoln East Invitational, held October 29 at the East High pool. Fifteen schools participated; Omaha Westside accumulated 77 points to take first place. Although the Links failed to qualify anyone for the finals, many of the times posted in the preliminaries were the best of the season.

Lincoln High placed third in the City Meet held October 21 at the East High pool. East won the meet with I 00 points, followed by Southeast, 91.5 points, Lincoln High, 39.5 points, and Northeast, 20 points.

The Links qualified someone in every event in the finals. Although only six may qualify for the finals in each event, all six places earn points.

Becky Sharpe, who placed consistently high all season, took second in the 100-yd. Freestyle; Pam Williams and Collette Schwindt placed second and third, respectively, in diving.

One half of this year's team was sophomores. This is the most sophs the reserve squad has had within the last five years.

"These sophomores have two years to participate in football and possibly gain a spot on the varsity squad," said Coach Story, "not only were the guys great but the fans were terrific. We've never had such backing from the students .as we've had this year. The spirit was really

Glen Hergenrader served as the assistant coach; Dave Wilcox was the student assistant.

Reserve Cross Country

This year's reserve harriers finished fourth in the city non-qualifiers meet at Pioneers Park, October 27.

Lee Johnson and Mark Helzer paced the Links as _ Johnson finished seventh in the meet in 10:57 and Helzer placed tenth in 11:01.

"Helzer ran in one or two varsity meets but hurt his ankle and never came back up to run as well as he did before," said Coach Scott.

Team scoring was Northeast, 38; East, 44; Southeast, _ 65; and Lincoln High, 88.

Reserve Tennis

The reserve netters finished the season with a 1-5 record and claimed third in the city meet.

This year's team included Dave Babcock, Dave Boye, Tom Fuenning, Mark Meyer, Jim Mumgaard, Jerry Peterson, and Bruce Samson.

In the city competition, Mumgaard tied for first in the number one singles division.

"It was a pretty good season but Fuenning andMumgaard played in three varsity meets and that took away from the reserve matches that they weren't involved in," stated Coach Friesen. "Mumgaard, Fuenning, and Boye ought to do well on varsity next year.''

The fall intramurals are over and members of a group called "The Drawfs" were crowned the Lincoln High School flag football champs.

This team finished 7-U m school competition but was defeated by East in the first round of the cit}' tournament, 7-0.

Steve Harris was captain of the team which consisted of Randy Dilworth, Bill Kubes, Ron Love, Joe Miller, Ernie Pester, Denny Scott, Dave Shaw, and Ron Wright

Harriers Finish Fifth at State

Five Links, Bob Copple, Dave Hudson, Phil Hunt , Adam Loos, and Jerry Wolford, competed in the meet. Of the five, Hunt with a tenth-place finish, was the only one to place in the top 10.

Copple described the meet as "terrible, because the Class B and C meets were run on the course before the Class A.

"The course was so muddy by the time we got on it it wasn't worth having the meet; it should have been called off the night before However, since a lot of the teams had already arrived in Omaha, the coaches voted to go ahead and have it."

Loos observed, "Guys were falling all over the place; because of the mud, there were no records set."

Bellevue won the Class A meet; Alliance claimed the B a nd Hebron captured the Class C honors Coach Harold Scott commented, "It was probably

the best season we've ever had. Last year we were as low as we could be but this year it sure was different. "The guys were really dedicated; they had good attitudes, lots of desire , and they did a terrific job. If the guys keep up their good attitudes and desire, next year could be a real good year."

Team scoring for the meet was Bellevue, 35; Boys Town, 64; 0. South, 67; 0. North, 85; Lincoln High, 86; Kearney, 91 ; Southeast, 117; Grand Island, 120; Northeast, 120; 0 Burke, 127; North Platte, 140; and Ralston, 196.

Youth Exchange Promotes Peace

(The foUowing article was submitted by Gudrun Henriksson, 1971-1972 ICYE snulentfrom Sweden. Ed.)

By Gudru n Henriksson

Hey, you! Do you want to travel? Do you want to see new countries and meet new people? Do you want to learn about different ways of living and different ways of looking at things? Do you want to discover new "worlds" and al.so yourself? Do you want a great adventure? ICY E offers this to you.

HISTORY

ICYE means International Christian Youth Exchange. It came into being soon after the second World War (1949) to restore and develop trust between persons in the U.S. and Germany. Other nations joined to create a wider program. Now 25 countries participate all over the world. They exchange with each other as well as with the U.S. AIMS AND PURPOSES

We fmd ourselves in a world of misunderstanding, conflict, and divergent interests and misleading myths about one another. Moreover, the world is divided by political and economic conditions in which poverty, hunger and hopelessness is the situation for the majority of men.

Thus it is that the ICYE sponsors the exchange of the young people between nations as a means of international and ecumenical education to further Christian commitment

to and responsibility for reconst itution, social and economic justice, and peace in the world.

ICY E seeks to enab le all participants to discover the common bonds they share with the who le of humanity. ICYE therefore seeks encounter with persons of all convictions and invites participation of those who share its aims and who wish to take part in its program.

O RG ANIZATION

ICYE has its in t ernational council, with representatives from participating countries, in Geneva, Switzerland. It has responsibility for the world-wide program and .over-all policy and financing.

In each particip a ting co untr y, I CY E works through a national committee established in cooperation with churches and youth movements which is responsible for administration, finances, supervision, and program continued on page 3

1972-Presidentia/ Ele ction Year-Be Informed

In continuing with the information on various presidential candidates, The Advocate has compiled several facts on more of hopefuls.

Shirley Chisolm

Shirley Chisolm is a congresswoman from New York. She plans to enter at least four primaries: California, Florida, Nortli Carolina, and Wisconsin. Mrs. Chisolm. is the first black congresswoman and is an active Women's Liberationist and can be described as a left liberal.

When another democrat, Edmund Muskie, said that the Democrats couldn't win with a black Vice-Presidential candidate, Mrs. Chisolm called the statement "a terrible political boo-boo." She is greatly favored for the Presidential office by minority groups including blacks, Chicanos, and women as she is an active worker for all of them. She helped establish the National Women's Political Caucus this past ,year to help improve the woman's role in today's society.

Paul McCloskey

Representative Paul is a Republican from California. He is

strongly opposed to the Vietnam conflict and threatens to run against President Nixon in the Republican primaries.

Rep. McCloskey feels that the 18-20-year-old vote is a good thing because young people were very beneficial to him in his campaign four years ago.

"I don't think race should have anything to do with a man's qualifications for office." McCloskey stated when asked if he would run with a black candidate. He continued, saying that he would definitely run with a black politician or as the Vice-Presidential candidate for a black man. He cited Senator Edward Brookes as a possibility for either office.

According to McCloskey, the greatest domestic problem is the lack of jobs. However, he feels that jobs that are organized just for making unnecessary material things are bad.

His opinion of the major international issue, is expressed in his own words. "End the war. The immorality of killing anyone today for any purpose other than the preservation of human liberty or national sovereignty only compounds our tragic mistake."

Melvin Thomas Turkey IV

Pays

Visit To Capitol Hill

You know I've never actually minded through 30 pushups a day, sit-ups before being a turkey. The meals are good, the and after meals, and several recreational work is easy, and you're never alone (there group activities. At first it was rough, but I are 350 turkeys on our farm). It has must confess that I was glad to get my old seemed lately as if things were looking up; physique back. all we had to do was sleep and eat, and the meals seemed to be getting bigger and better every day. In fact, a few of us were even beginning_to put on a little ex tra weight.

Personal grooming has always been one of my better virtues, and even though some of the others got very sloppy with their appearances, I was as nice looking as ever.

Finally I was rewarded for my efforts. Mr. Warner, our keeper, came along one day, and carefully selected several of the better-looking turkeys to accompany him.

Being as modest and humble as I am, I tried to act surprised when I was the frrst one he picked. But I knew it was inevitable that some day I would be appreciated for what I really am-a connoisseur of the fmer things in life, a real turkey of the world

Who knows what may lie ahead? Obviously this first separation was a promotion-separating the mighty from the meek-we call it. Anyway, who knows what my next assignment may be.

I can see it now-the frrst turkey to make it big in Hollywood-my name in lights starring Melvin Turkey, Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor.

Or maybe President Nixon isn't going to run for office again and my party needs me. Just think, the first turkey on Capitol Hill. Or maybe I'm being drafted to fight for my country. I hope not-I've heard of "gorilla" wartare, but this is ridiculous! Whatever it may be, Melvin Thomas Turkey WILL BE READY!.

But back to reality! First Mr. Warner took us into a little room, weighed us, and put us each in separate quarters. After living in a commune all our lives, it was quite a switch. It was like living in the Turkey Hilton.

Man, they must really be preparing us fpr something big. This special VIT (Very Importa11t Turkey) treatment continued for abou• a week, during which time we were fed all we could eat., and then some. Confidentially, I'm glad the living quarters were segregated, because I was putting on more extra weight and I would have been embarrassed to have any of the girls see me

Then all of a sudden everything changed. All of this fat I had been allowed to put on had to be changed to muscle

One morning we were all loaded in a truck and driven to town, where we were united with several other. truckloads of turkeys, Aha, I a convention! Eventually all conventions elect officers, so I decided to waste no t i me with my campaign. I made my rounds in the room, trying to make conversation with my fellow turkeys, but the majority of them were huddled in comers, crying.

Anyway, while I was walking around, I must have missed the election because when I returned all the turkeys were being reloaded. I think I must have won something, however , because I was being loaded in with 15 of the best looking turkeys in the place. And the man who was helping us into the truck squeezed and patted each one of us, as if to congratulate us.

During the ride to our unknown destination I noticed that several of the turkeys in my truck were crying, one was reciting a prayer, and one was in deep meditation. "Do your own thing" has always been my motto, but curiosity had gotten the best of me, so I approached one of the sobbing turkeys, who proceeded to tell me the horrifying story that I am about to relate to you.

It seems that every year on Thanksgiving (whatever the heck that is) it is traditional to round up all of the best turkeys and COOK THEM FOR DINNER! I immediately decided that I was going to have to drop out of the category of "better turkeys!"

I proceeded to roll around in the sawdust and dirt on the bottom of the truck and peck out as many of my feathers as I could. Hearing that we were bound for Washington, D.C. made me peck even harder. I had always wanted tosee Capitol Hill; but from a chair or a window-not from under glass!

By the time we arrived at our destination, my work had been quite effective. When Mr. Warner unloaded me, he said several words that singed my feathers, and threw me out of the truck. I wasted no time in making a hasty exit.

This Thanksgiving business is for the birds, I thought, and I don't mean turkeys! Oh well, as long as I'm in the neighborhood, I may as well drop in on Dick

Survey Attempts To Find Out What Links Want In Advocate

In order to find out what the LHS student body really wanted in their newspaper the staff members of the Advocate organized and completed a survey.

Since it was virtually impossible to talk to every Link, 65 were chosen as representatives of the student body.

Of the 65 questionaires sent out, 26 were returned. The following is a list of the - questions and the responses:

Do you read The Advocate? Why or why not?

All students polled said they read The Advocate because : 1. they wanted to be informed on what was happening in the school and 2. because it was interesting. A few students read just part because they felt some articles were dull.

Would you buy The Advocate?

Slightly less than half the students said they would buy it; a third would buy it if the price was low.

What articles have you particularly liked or disliked? Why?

Many students couldn't remember any particular article they did or did not like. However, among the articles that were listed as "well liked" were: The wood working article, the AFS story, the drama poem, the all-school play story, the hair styles feature , and Sons of the Black and " Red

Other students enjoyed the football feature, the color and personality article, and the short-courses story

One story listed as "disliked" was "Trap your Man." Students felt it was placing too much importance on an interest of a few.

Has any editorial influenced you?

A few students said editorials changed their opinions or helped them form their own. About half said the editorials didn't change their opinions but they were informative and let them know what others · thought on different topics.

A few persons felt that the editorials were dull and too "rah-rah." The editorial about the scheduling, though, interested many students

Do you feel that there is too much emphasis on one particular class, club, issue, or event?

The majority of persons polled felt that there was no one area over-emphasized. A few felt that there weren't enough items or stories about sophomores. Another student said that the same few people were in The Advocate time after time. Clubs were named by some as over-emphasized.

What would you like to see ifi The Advocate?

Several students didn't answer this question or else are content with the way The Advocate is. The majority, though, wanted some change-new features or articles of some kind.

·

One student felt that the paper was too impersonal and should be brought closer to the students; another felt The Advocate was too old-fashioned and serious.

Several people suggested more opinion polls and interviews. Another popular request was to have some sort of cartoons- political or otherwise. More, pictures, original movie, TV_ and book reviews, natlonal-mterest articles, more editorials, and Letters to the Editoi -were asked for.

Do you feel sports is too much over-emphasized or is there not enough coverage?

About half of those questioned felt that sports in general were covered adequately but that the minor sports such as tennis and cross-country were neglected. One student felt that girls sports and

intramurals were also excluded too often.

The other Links questioned felt sports coverage was good and just about right.

Suggestions were made that scores should be put in of all of the Lincoln High schools games, and not just the facts of the game should be written, but also comments frotll the coaches and players should be included.

A couple of students felt that sports weren't that important and not very many people read them.

What should a school newspaper include?

The majority of students questioned felt a paper should include everything that The Advocate does right now: more outSide news was said to be an important addition.

Does The Advocate have eye-appeal?

Almost everybody believed that The Advocate had eye-appeal and many cited the pictures as a reason. On the other hand, some felt the pictures helped make the paper look bad because they were too posed. Comments were also made that although a somewhat ugly paper, it was good for a high school.

Any other suggestions, criticisms, or remarks : 1. more guest opinions-teachers, students-outside of The Advocate staff, 2. good cartoons, 3. articles about post-high school education or jobs,

4. voting accomplishments of Nebraska Congressmen,

5. trade items with other schools-this could help interschool relations,

6. more comics, polls on drugs, marriage, and religion,

7. have ads more spread out,

8. advertise groups that are coming to Lincoln, 9. teacher's comments and activities, 10. stories that are humorous or exciting that would continue from issue to issue (serial) , 11. not so many inside LHS articles but more of city, state, national, and world importance, 12. relevant, creative material which students-at-large would write, 13. proof-reading needs to be improved.

Editorial Comment

The Advocate has gone over the requests and suggestions made by the students taking part in the poll; among them are some that will be tried and some that can't or won't.

Trading news items with other schools has been done before and may be tried again. Cartoons will also be added at times if good and appropriate ones are to be found. A joke column or section, though, is not" considered because what is a funny joke for one, leaves another reader cold.

Several people suggested some sort of book or movie reviews. This will be begun in the next issue. More editorial comment on the national level may be tried ; however since The Advocate is a school paper, it is felt that news and editorials should center mainly on school or school-related matters.

As to the request for more student editorials and letters, the staff can do nothing about it. Any student is welcome to submit any kind of material for publication.

· Though several students felt was to o much sports·coverage, this is only because Lincoln High, like many other high schools, is still very sports-centered and much of the school news is sports or sports related.

· Advertisements must be kept on the last few pages as on page one or two they could destroy the whole appearance of the paper.

To help minimize the problem, Interact Club recently sponsored a ''paint·your-local-garbagecan" contest for anyone interested in converting the old drab gray trash cans into beautiful artistic refuse collectors.

Approval was granted by Mr. William Bogar, principal, and Mr. David Reichel, in charge of maintenance, and the time was set for 9:00-12:00 Saturday, November 13, on the LHS Interactpatio.Club furnished the paint. Contestants had to bring their own brushes and creative ideas.

The finished products of the amateur painters were judged Tuesday by a panel of teachers and Mr. Reichel. First place of $10 went to Pat Weygint; second place of $5 was won by Heidi Oberbrinkmann; and the third place prize of $1 ended in a three-way tie among Francie Silber, and the team of Margaret Fiedler and Vicki Kahm.

Electronic Students Build

Televisio·n Sets from Kits

Flick! There you are, suddenly staring at a blank screen, wondering what went wrong with your TV this time, and thinking how much it will cost to fix. Have you ever wanted to know the basics of TV repair? Students in Mr. Leander Stachura's senior trades class learn these by constructing a television set from a kit. Students work in groups of two, two periods a day for about eight weeks on the construction of the sets. Each group had its own kit. The cost of each is about $150; there was no cost to the students. The sets are operable now and receive area stations.

Each kit contains 250-300 parts and 25 feet of wire. Included are 80 capacitors, 90 resistors, 25 5 solder connections, 15 tubes, eight coils, six intermediate frequency transformers, and four other transformers including one high-voltage, one vertical

output, one power, and one audio output.

The set has voltages of 260, 700, and 18,000 volts. Students install all components by following a schematic (and pictorial) manual. The sets are dismantled and reused the next year

Besides learning the basic circuits of the sets, students learn how to repair and use the test equipment, includmg such pieces as the solid state sweep marker generator, which duplicates the frequencies necessary for TV alignment, and an oscillascope, which shows the visual response of the circuit being aligned. Use of this equipment is necessary in the finer points of TV

After completion of the television sets, the students work on other electronic repair projects such as radios, TVs, stereo tape players, and record changers.

LHS Hosts Music Clinic

The Music Educators Clinic, hosted by Lincoin High School, faced many problems before the 900 students arrived at the school, November 18.

The first thing to get under control was housing for 650 of the participants. In charge of this monumental task was Mrs. Pauline Anderson, former Lincoln High teacher. Of the campaign to get housing for these students she said, "The response of our students and faculty was just great, but these last few weeks I've had to draft some of my friends."

A second major problem was getting rooms for students to rehearse in, enlisting the aid of teachers in directing participants to these areas and their help in monitoring halls.

The third and perhaps most important job was to see that all stations were "go" before the students arrived. In charge of the organization and chairman of the Lincoln High School operations was Mr. Ivan Caldwell, vocal music instructor, assisted by Miss Dorthea Gore, chairman of the Music Department, and Mr. Orville Voss, director of instrumental music.

While the students were rehearsing, teachers from across the state were able to browse at the displays that were set up in the Activities BuildinA.

Many kinds of businesses were represented: music houses (both instrumental and vocal), band uniform companies, and choir robe companies. While they browsed they also had a chance to exchange ideas with other teachers from across the state.

The finale of this huge event was the performance of both the instrumental and vocal musicians on Saturday, November 20 at Pershing Auditorium.

Second Links Sale

The Board urges you to start saving your money right now so the next chance will not pass you by.

Answer That Phone

Times have changed and so has the concept and style of Alexander Graham Bell's great invention, the telephone. Over the years, improvements have been made steadily, not only in the efficiency of the instrument but also in its appearance.

The counselors' center has recently been equipped with the latest telephonic device. Installed is a new multiline telephone in each of the in'dividual offices.

The new phones consist of a black outer casing, with either red or white surrounding the dial, depending upon the preference of the individual. Each is equipped with three lines for dialing and three "hold" buttons. This means that by the use of these buttons, three calls may be in existence simultaneously.

Lest Lincoln High School be considered slow in adapting to the latest trends, it must be pointed out that in 1925, a 100-unit telephone system was installed in the individual classrooms for use in calling-in absences to the office or talking to anywhere else in the building. These phones, then considered to be the latest in technological innovations, became inoperable about 10 years ago.

Bell had the concept of the telephone as early as 1871 but he didn't perfect it until 1875. During these four years, Bell and his assistant, Thomas A. Watson had many setbacks and disappointments but neither gave up.

One day , Mr Watson carried his receiver two rooms away. When Mr. Bell asked Watson if he could hear him, Watson replied, "Yes, Alexander, I can hear you." And so was born the flrst working telephone, forerunner of the 1971 multiline.

Are you having trouble talking to your counselor lately? Could it be that she's on the phone?

development. These national committees select applicants to come to the country and families to receive exchangees and are responsible for supervising the program for all exchangees living in their country.

The U.S. is divided into 13 different regions. The regional representative arranges meetings all the exchangees within the region. He also functions as a counselor.

Every exchange has a sponsoring committee that has the responsibility of assuring financial support for the exchange.

THE MONEY

ICYE is primarily supported by the contributions of local sponsors as a special committee formed for this purpose : a local church, several churches of the same or different denominations, a school or civic organization in cooperation with a church or churches, etc. The amount is $700 per overseas exchange and $1,050 per American exchangee. The family is for room and board and regular allowance for the exchange.

As an international organization, ICYE has established a basis for equitable financial sharing in total costs related to an economic scale for participating countries. Therefore, the U.S. committee rightfully contributes more than other countries in the world.

REQUIREMENTS

Requirements for US. exchangees are:

1. He must have had his sixteenth birthday after June 1, or his nineteenth birthday must fall after September 1 of the year in which he goes abroad

2. He must have completed the sophomore year in high school when he goes abroad. Young people who are not in school, but are within the age limits, are also eligible.

More important than these requirements are personal qualities. On the basis of references and interview, ICYE seeks people who, among other things; are sensitive to other

persons and demonstrate compassion in response to needs and those in need, give evidence of being able to adapt and adjust to new environments and unusual situations, are concerned about world affairs and international issues of peace and justice, are eager to learn from others, and are open to new and different ways of living and thinking.

ICYE encourages special arrangements for people who !should not be enrolled in high school, .for example, !advanced educational programs, specialized training or practical experience, or full-time community service or volunteer work.

The national environments in which we grow up limit our perspective on the world. We see events, nations and peoples through national filters. It is therefore necessary_ to be exposed to the realities of the world-its tensions, its suffering, its injustice-to know and experience personally the world as it is. ICYE provides a means of discovery and confrontation, a release from the protective comfort of one's national, cultural environment. To strive for an appreciation of cultural differences and a better understanding between people of different backgrounds, to learn how life is lived in another part of the world, to overcome oreiudices and to establish personal bonds of friendship helps to assure the world of peace.

For ICYE exhangees, the experience overseas is only a beginnina. The year is not an end in itself but a preparation for lifetime. The full value of the year is to be JUdged only by what happens during the year, but by the person he comes, and his commitment to the world and its needs.

If you are interested in the program, to Heidi Oberbrinkmann or Gudrun Henriksson. We can give you more information and tell you about personal experiences and thoughts. If you want to apply, we can help you get the "papers" and the addresses. The office in New York has to have the applications in the middle of December.

Think about this and take action!!!

Education Not Limited to Classroom

DE Provides Job Training

High school ed ucat ion today is not limited to classroom stud y. The Li nco ln High School Mark eting and Merchandising class is an example of extending the classroom into the world of work by providing "on the job training" for its me mbers.

A student enrolled in Marketing and Merchandising (also called Distributive Education) during his senior year attends one period daily for classroom instruction and is released from school early for his marketing experiences on the job.

Some students' jobs are carry-overs from last summer; however, there are many who applied and were hired for their present jobs through the assistance of Mr. Jerry Gruber, DE teacher-coordinator.

Junior Marketing students are members of the DECA Club. Mr. Jim Bounds, Marketing instructor, teaches the junior classes and co-sponsors the DECA Club.

A minimum of 15 hours per week on the job is a requirement for the DE student. He is given school credit for his Marketing Internship through an evaluation of his employer and a grade by Mr. Gruber.

"Distributive Education students receive career training from their on-the-job experiences and related classroom instruction. Many businesses favor hiring these students because of this,'' said Mr. Gruber.

Distributive Education students also get involved in civic affairs through the DECA Club. The members are currently engaged in a minor research project in cooperation with the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce. The Club members, working with Mr. Dave Wolvin, Research Specialist from the

Chamber of Commerce, are conductmg a slll'Vey of the available office and retail space in the downtown area and the cost per square foot of this space.

The Lincoln High DECA Club is represented in the State DECA Association by Leo Casiano, who is the Regional vice-president. The senior members of the club look forward to the annual spring Employer-Employee Banquet, which is given in honor of all the employers. Each student "treats" his boss.

Mr. Gruber pointed out that Distributive Education is experiencing much success and expansion in the city of Lincoln and is offered in all four public high schools.

According to him, "The program is generally a two-year program; however, some seniors are accepted into the program without taking the junior marketing course." Students interested in enrolling in Marketing and Merchandising should consult with thelr COWlliC o r and visit with Mr. Gruber.

T he students pictured on this page have earned in excess of $5,000 during the first nine weeks of school.

Other students who are in the class but are not pictured include: Julie Barr, Kentucky Fried Chicken; Debbie Brandt, Lincoln General Cafeteria; Dick Danek, Brandeis; Dick Heakin, Retail Credit; Ken Jelinek, B & R IGA Store; Toni Jones, Ward; Shelly Lorenzen, BrandeiS; Dlllilll Morgan, Ward; Sharon Oster, K-Mart; Sandy Walters, A.

If College Isn't for You •••

Tech College Offers Alternatives

If so, have you the special training needed to acquire a good-paying job?

The Lincoln Technical College, with departments located at East High School, Millard Lefler Junior High, Whittier Junior High, and at the Manpower building on North 48th Street, is not organized or operated as a traditional college nor is it an extended high school. Lincoln Technical College is for people who want to learn a skill to be able to find a satisfying job without spending a long time in school.

Winter Intramural Slate

Now that the fall sports season has officially come to a close, planning for the winter intramurals program is in the final stages.

Among the activities offered are ping pong, body conditioning, and basketball.

Basketball games won't be getting underway until the varsity season starts. According to Mr. Richard Terry, head of the intramural program. "We like to wait until the final cuts for the varsity and reserve teams have been made, so that the boys who don't make the cut may still play on a team."

Boys may organize their own teams and tum them in, or they may just turn in their names and they will be placed on a team. Anyone interested in participating should contact Mr. Terry. ·

Hard Practice Awaits LHS

Girl Gymnasts

The long hours of practice have already begun for this year's girls gymnastics team.

Although the team competes with those of all of the other Lincoln schools, it is on an extramural basis not as a varsity sport.

The events included in the meets are trampoline, free exercise, tumbling, balance beam, uneven parallel bars, vaulting, and aU-around. To qualify for the all-around category, a girl must have participated in three of the events.

Even though the competitive season does not start until next semester, practices are already in full swing; they are held after school every night except Friday in the girls gym.

"Any girl who makes up a routine and comes in to practice may be in the meets," said Mrs. Opal Stoehr, girls PE instructor.

Basis for Success Is as Always

By Alden Johnson

As we begin our winter sport season let us review one or two items that play an important part in a successful season. I imagine that most of the remarks are directed to those who are members of the various squads but let's remember we all belong to one great team-the student body of Lincoln High.

A collection of athletes who possess the necessary stamina and skills will not always result in a winning team-it is a beginning. Winning teams certainly have good individual performers but a check of facts reveals that they also possess the right attitudes.

It is difficult to list all qualities that are necessary to develop the victory spirit but loyalty, discipline, desire, aggressiveness, hustle, concentration, being coachable, the overwhelming urge for victory, the intestin11-l fortitude to work long and hard when tired, and the development of yourself mentally so the strategical situations can be recognized, all play an important part in becoming a winner.

Spirit is a state of mind. It is a dominant factor in success or failure. Good spirit means a lot of things: a desire to learn, to work, to improve, to excel, and to sacrifice. There are no short cuts to success and as a participant you must give your sport priority to all excess energy. Spirit is reflected in both winning and losing by how as an individual, react.

Confidence is a characteristic of all greaf athletes. You must believe in yourself, your teammates, and your coach. This makes a combination difficult to defeat. Remember, you will never be better than you think you are.

Tradition is not lost by losing if one has played his maximum and given his all. When the winter sports season is over, player, Pepper, coach, and student body should be able to look back and be able to say, "I GAVE MY VERY BEST ALL THE TIME."

Cheerleader and Pepper Notes

With the upcoming winter sports season there are certain activities being done to stimulate spirit.

The Varsity Cheerleaders elected new officers: Patti Torgler, president; Lynda Talladay, vice-president and treasurer; and Linda Davis, secretary.

The Senior Pep Club, sponsored by Mrs. Karen Jones, Mrs. Judy Keller, and Mrs. Betty Zink, sold candy bars as a money-making project. The members earned enough money to rent a bus for the Hastings basketball game.

Members of the newly-formed Junior Pep Club, sponsored by Mrs. Jean Furr and Mrs. Lorraine Sutton, received their new uniforms and will start officially as a club at the first basketball game. The 125 girls included in the club will about double the size of the whole pep squad.

The Junior Pep Club officers are Debbie Kennedy, Lynn Leinhart, first vicepresident; Vicki Jones, second vice-president; Linda Porter, secretary; and Noala Van Andel, treasurer. "We hope that with the addition of the Junior Pep Club our school will piCk up

Basketball

"This ball club has an opportunity to do a great job," said basketball coach Aldie Johnson. "We have a little more size and more depth than we've had in several years, which are assets."

Somewhere around I 00 boys came out for basketball this year and the team will be chosen from them.

"We will miss those who have graduated but there are always others to take their places," he commented.

This year's opponents includes five Omaha teams, the traditionally hard Lincoln teams, Grand Island, North Platte, Columbus, and Hastings.

Coach Johhson added, "Our whole schedule is made up of very good teams and we will face tough competition from all of them. In basketball, on any given night, one team can upset another."

Johnson likes coaching because he always has liked competition; it gives him desire and he enjoys it.

''This team will be tested very early in the season because our schedule includes only those teams who have outstanding records," said Johnson. "Our success will hinge on

how the team members have expected to do so react to competition. well."

Returning lettermen are seniors Jim Adkins, Bill Hudson, Bob Knollenberg, Bruce Shomaker, and Joe Wolfe (manager).

Returning junior lettermen are Bob Folsom and Mike Fultz.

Helping Cotter is Dan Kahm, a 1968 LHS graduate. "Coaching is a great experience. There's quite a difference between being out of the water coaching and being in the water swimming. It seems to be a little harder to coach and it's a real challenge," he said.

Wrestling

"We're starting off with Jess than we've had in several years," commented wrestling coach Mel Simpson, "but if we improve and win meets, that will be the key to our success this season."

Last year's team finished third in state. Scoring for the Links in the 1971 state meet was Jerry Bockhoven, who will be returnmg. Randy Knaub made it to state but failed to score.

Sixty-four boys came out this year to try for spots in their weight classes.

"East will probably give us the most competition because it has several boys returning that scored at state last year," Coach Simpson noted Simpson likes coaching because "working with the boys is really great. I like to see changes come about ami I hope for success for a lot of team members. Coaching gives me enjoyment."

Assisting Coach Simpson is Tom Furby, a senior at the University of Nebraska ' and a graduate of Bellevue High School.

Meet Format Changed Strough's Crew Fourth in State

Districts

Eleven Links qualified for the state meet and helped the gymnastics team place second in the district meet held November 12 at East High.

Southeast won the meet and qualified 12 individuals for state.

The top eight individuals in each event qualified for the state meet.

Team scoring was Southeast, 139.67; Lincoln High, 126.67; Northeast, 123.77;and East, 98.57.

John Meyerhoff

"What I like best about Lincoln High is its desire to win. No matter how bad the odds, no one ever gives up," stated John Meyerhoff.

"Gymnastics is my favorite sport because it is a sport individuals. When you don't do a good job there's no one to blame but yourself."

John's most memorable experience was qualifying for the state meet as a junior; falling off the parallel bars on this mount in that same meet proved to be his most embarrassing.

"The self-discipline it takes to make it in the future" is one thing John hopes to gain from his athletic participation at Lincoln High.

John plans to attend the University of Nebraska and try to make the gymnastics team there.

State The Links gymnastics team ended its season capturing fourth in the state meet held at East High, November 19 and 20. Under a new format,

used for the first time this fall, the competition for the team title was restricted to the first- and second-place teams from the three district meets.

Those six schools were allowed to bring their entire squads to the state meet, entering four boys in each event. The top three winners contributed toward the team points.

Three Link Gridders Gain All-City Honors

Three Links' football players were named to the All-City team, November 14.

Dave Hudson

"The satisfaction of being able to say that I did my very best" is what Dave Hudson hopes to gain from his participation in athletics.

Track is Dave's favorite sport because "in track every member of the team must do his best to make the team a success."

Winning the Trans-Nebraska and District title in cross-country this year is Dave's most memorable experience.

"My most embarrassing moment in athletics was being the only one in the state meet wearing purple tights and having them rip wh-iJe I was running," admitted Dave.

Dave's future plans include entering the University of Nebraska next fall and going into the field of engineering.

Senior Steve Kontos was named to the guard position on the offensive team, senior Jerry Bockhoven made it as a defensive tackle, and junior Mike Fultz was named as a defensive linebacker.

Lincoln East, the state's number one football team, had seven players named to the squad. Southeast had six players tabbed. Lincoln High, Northeast, and Pius each had three.

All-State

This year the Links failed to have a player named to the Class A All-State football team. However, Mark Weaver, Kontos, and Bockhoven were listed on the honor roll.

Lincoln East and Southeast each had three players named to the team.

The AU-State team members will play in the Shrine Bowl next August.

Links Lose Finale Finish Season 5-4

The Lincoln High football team ended its season against Omaha Westside as the Warriors clipped the Links, 26-14, in Omaha, November 9.

The game was regularly scheduled to be played on October 29, but was postponed twice because ofrain. Westside started off by scoring three touchdowns, which put the Links behind 20-0.

Before halftime, the Links recovered a fumble on Westside's 43-yard line and marched to paydirt in nine plays with Buster Barber running it in for the tally. Pat , Weixelman kicked the extra point and the Links went into the locker room, behind, 20-7.

When the Links returned to the field for the third quarter, Bob Knollenberg intercepted a Westside pass and six plays later caught an 11-yard aerial from Bob Folsom which, after another Weixelman kick, made the score

Lincoln High's comeback hopes were shattered in the fourth period after Westside scored again. The game ended 26-14 in favor of the Warriors.

Knollenberg had quite a day as he intercepted two Westside passes and caught six from Folsom for 89 yards and one touchdown.

The Links finished the season with a 5-4 record.

Chile Feed Recognizes Fall Sports Participants

The traditional Awards Assembly held each year at the conclusion of the fall sports season was discontinued this year in favor of a fall sports banquet, held Monday, November 22 at 6:30p.m.

The banquet which was a chili feed sponsored by the Athletic Department, featured entertainment and the presentation of letters by the fall coaches.

The reason for the change was the apparent indifference of many students when the awards were presented at an assembly.

"We feel that with the presentation being made at the banquet, everyone present will be there because he wants to be. This will be more of a tribute to the athletes," stated Mr. Jim Sommers, athletic director.

A total of 81 persons received letters for their participation in fall sports.

Advocate Sponsors Christmas-Sharing Project

By Karen Clore and Judy Goeschel

You better not pout

You better not cry, You better not shout f'm telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town!

Did you ever realize how you would feel if you heard this song when you knew that Santa wouldn't be coming to your house?

Many of us take for granted the annual chore of Christmas shopping and complain of the burden of preparing a big Christmas dinner. But to those who can't afford these extras, these events would be anything but a burden

Many persons associate poverty with large cities, and therefore do not realize that these conditions DO exist in Lincoln In order to learn the facts, two Ad vocate staff members

inquired as to the situation in Lincoln.

Mrs Hulda Roper, Lincoln police woman, stated, "Many families in the Lincoln area can provide the bare essentials, but have no money for the extras it takes to make the kind of Christmas that many of us take for granted.

"Christmas is supposed to be a time for happiness; explaining to little children why there is no food, or no presents under the tree would hardly make for a Merry Christmas."

With this in mind, The Advocate staff has adopted two families, in hope that they will have a merrier Christmas.

The first is a family of six - a mother and her five children. The father is not at home at the time and is unable to support them; they will not accept welfare,

so the mother is their sole means of income Operation Santa Claus will provide one toy for each child, but they are extremely short on food

The second family is two women who live alone: a mother and daughter. The mother is crippled and bed-ridden and the daughter is unable to work because of this. They, too, can manage with the essentials of life, but it is the little extras at Christmas timedecorations, candy, cookies- that would mean alot to these people

Posted on the bulletin board across from Room 215 is a list of ideas of items to bring These can be left in the box or on the table; money for toys should be left in The Advocate room, 213-E

Christmas is a time for sharing-won't you help? It may give your Christmas alot more meaning

Senator William Proxmire is a democrat from Wisconsin. He feels that every person should get out and support the candidate of his choice.

Senator Proxmire believes that a third party candidate could win the presidential election if both the major parties nominate men or women who follow present administration policies. The two major issues facing the United States today, according to him, is the present economic condition and peace in Vietnam. He feels that all military spending should be stopped.

Turkey-Drive Helps Five Needy Families

Thanksgiving was filled with more happiness and food for five Lincoln families, thanks to many students and teachers at Lincoln High

The Student Council sponsored a fund drive to provide families with Thanksgiving baskets. According to Council president Tim Renker, the Council wanted to share happiness by providing the means for less fortunate families to have a happy Thanksgiving.

Pam Keeler, member of Student Council, dressed as a turkey, strutted through the cafeteria the day before Thanksgiving, collecting money to buy food for the baskets. An unexpected $65 was collected

1n 1922, new boundry lines were painted around the boys gym basketball court. The previous lines were practically invisible having given service since the school was built in 1915.

After School Rallies? Stand Up and Cheer

In response to the Ed i t orial Commen t " Wh o Took the Pep Out of Rallies?"

I wonder what the au th or of the article meant by "It is that small mino ri ty wh o don' t at t en d the pep rallies that spoil everyone else's fun." How can they spoil the fun if they aren't even there? Or is i t the very fact that some peo ple do n 't att end an d yell and scream for the foo t b al l t eam wha t does it ?

The article says tha t pep ral li es "help break t h e monotony of the school day " I t hink if we cou ld spend more time i mpr oving curri culu m an d educational aspects of sch oo l we wou ldn ' t nee d anything to break the monotony. As fo r "raising spirit in the school, publicizing the sports events, and honoring athletes" I'll speak the harsh truth, a lot of people don't care about sports events and athletes.

The article says, "Why is it so hard for some people to just cooperate and go to the pep rallies? Wouldn't it be nice if everyone would just cooperate so this activity wouldn't be in danger of becoming extinct." Isn't this just like saying "Why don't you conform and come to the pep rallies like everyone else?"

Personally I fmd them frightening: the hung dummy, the kids yelling at the top of their lungs for victory, kill 'em! The pep rally breeds inter-school hatred while we need inter-school peace.

I wonder how much money is spent on decorating the school during the entire year-and what it could be spent on.

I suggest that pep rallies be held after school. Then we could see just how much spirit LHS has.

F o r t hose of you who are dissatisfied wi th yo ur Student Council, here's some thi ng t h at may interest you.

At t he Nebraska Association of Student Cou n cils Convention held at Omaha Benson, Novemb er 19-20, I had the opportunity to talk wi th re p resen t ati ves of other schools about their st udent councils

They were amaze d and dumbfounde d at some of th e things I told t hem we were doing. Large and small schools, ali ke, found i t hard to beli eve that we have a lounge with music in it-no less! They we re impressed with the Student Affairs Co mmi ttee , our forums, and, in general, just everything we told them about.

This is not to say that the Lincoln High School Student Council is perfect; we have problems just like anybody else. But we try. I think that's important-we try We had a debate during one of the mass meetings of the convention over amendments to the NASC constitution, and more delegates from Lincoln High school spoke up than from any other school, with one of them going to the podium twice Lincoln High had two people run for state offices, with one of them losing by only five votes. We were a definite factor in t h at convention.

I know this sounds like I'm 'bragging, but I t hink this needs to be said. Other schools in the sta te were really impressed with us It was greatly encouraging to me to find this out

Recently, the president of your Student Council said that he thought if all the current Lincoln High council members were each placed on any council throughout the state, they could change that council. I agree with him. I think we have a good council, a council that cares And I also believe that we'll keep on trying.

Although plans were made to sponsor one basket, enough money was collected to sponsor baskets for five families The Lancaster County Welfare department supplied the names of five families that needed and would appreciate receiving baskets.

Council members turkeys. potatoes, and frozen pumpkin pies for the Thanksgiving baskets They also supplied the baskets with sugar cookies, bread, and many other goodies. The Hinky Dinky store at 17th and South donated many canned goods to the families.

Paula Harre, who helped deliver the baskets, commented that the families seem to appreciate the baskets and were grateful The chil dren of tne pl ease d a t t he s ight of the turkeys

Honor Peppers

As the fall sports season comes to a close, the L incoln High School Peppers take time to recognize some of the number who helped make the season a success.

Twelve peppers, who earned a minimum of 15 merits by the close of the season, were named as Honor Peppers.

They are Janet Behrens, Karla Gerbig, Judy Goeschel, Jeannine Green, JoAnn Highstreet, Pam Keeler, Terri Marti, Cindy Peek, Pat Petersen, Mary

Raymer, Sue Schurbauer, and Carol Yoakum. Each of t he girls who was honored at last week's pep rally received a gold bar to wear on her pep-club sweater emblem. The first spirit girl of the season was also tapped. Spirit Girl Karen Bade had a grand total of 5 1 merits.

Making booster tags and posters, attending out-of-town games in uniform, and decorating the halls, are some of the ways in which peppers may earn merits.

Looking Ahead?

Bruce Schomaker

Bruce Schomaker's plans for the future are possibly to attend Milford Trades School to further his education in the vocational field.

"Basketball is my favorite sport because it involves five people working together as a team, not just as individuals," he said. "From my participation in athletics I hope to gain the ability to work with and help others."

Being on the varsity basketball squad last year when the team scored 100 points against Grand Island is Bruce's most memorable experience in athletics.

His most embarrassing moment came in his sophomore year when, as he was warming up in the district game, he got knocked down by one of his own teammates!

"The variety of classes to pick from" is what Bruce likes best about Lincoln High.

Bob Knollenberg

"The great athletic tradition and the people around it" is what Bob Knollenberg likes best about Lincoln High.

Basketball is Bob's favorite sport because "it takes skill to make the right moves, shots, and passes. Basketball is very demanding on the body."

From participating in athletics, he hopes to gain knowledge of "what the feeling is like, after you have given your best."

Sitting on the bench last year during the game against East High is not one of Bob's happier experiences.

"My most memorablt: experience was starting on the varsity basketball team as a sophomore. I hope a greater experience is yet to come," he commented.

In the future, he hopes to play basketball at Nebraska Wesleyan and major in physical education, after which he would like to coach basketball at the high school level.

Roundballers Begin Season. Links Whip Tigers ;Fall to Warriors

Hastings

The Links basketball team opened its season at Hastings,

December 3, and scored an impressive 87-68 Trans-Nebraska conference victory over the Tigers.

Lincoln High, sparked by a 79 percent shooting performance, zipped out to a 23-0 lead with three minutes left in the flrst quarter. The opening stanza ended with a 29-16 score.

Three times in the second auarter the Links held a 19-point margin over the Tigers. The flrst half ended 51-33, in favor of the Links

In the third quarter, the Tigers tried to make a comeback and pulled within 12 points of the Links, 63-51. Hasting's rally was brief and the Links kept putting the ball through the net until the game ended with a 19-point margin and the victory going to the Links.

Bruce Schomaker scored 24 points in aiding the victory. Others in double figures were Mike Fultz, 21, points; Bob Knollenberg, 15 points; and Bob Keaton, 11 points.

Westside A tall Westside basketball team with a tough defense spelled trouble for the Links as they fell to the Warriors, 52-45, in Johnson Gym, December 4.

Down at the end of the first quarter, 15-10, the Links hit a cold spell and could manage only four points in the second quarter. Westside held a comfortable 27-14 halftime lead.

Lincoln High rallied briefly at the start of the second half on a pair of baskets by Bruce Schomaker and two more by Bob Folsom. That narrowed the margin to six, 28-22, but Westside quickly shot back to a 38-24 bulge by scoring 10 points while the Links were held to a single bucket by Mike Fultz.

Late in the fourth quarter, Lincoln High tallied eight straight points to close the gap to five points 50-45, but Westside's two free throws, with 17 seconds left, settled the issue.

Schomaker and Folsom both finished in double figures with 12 points each.

Tankers Take Relays Seven More Links

The Links swim team began its season capturing its own invitational relay meet in Johnson Gym pool, December 4.

ECA Points Suspended Trial Semester Coming

he Student Affairs comnu ft ee mee ing h eld November 5, members voted to suspend, for a one-semester experimental period, the ECA (extracurricular activities) point system.

The ECA point system, which was a Student Council innovation in 1925, was designed to encourage but control the number of activities in which the student might participate.

Students have been allowed to hold a total of not more than 14 points at any one time. The highest rated activities have included: Student Council president, 8; lead m or student director of a play, 8; and opera lead, 8. The student, who was limited to four activities, was not permitted to drop one to take on another.

The 1971 Lincoln High School Student Council requested the revision or abolishment of the ECA system on the following bases:

I. High school should be an unlimited learning experience and shouldn't be restricted to a certain number of points.

2. "High school students should be capable of deciding how much they can handle.

3. If a person is capable, responsible, and talented he shouldn't be barred from activities due to his participation in other activities.

After debate, a move by John Arrigo, co-chairman of the committee, to initiate the trial period was carried.

Also by decision, the committee authorized a student's unlimited participation in clubs and organizations and his freedom to hold any and all offices to which he might be elected.

According to the committee's decision, the ECA committee, during the experimental period, will merely record each activity without giving it a numerical value.

The suspension of the system will complicate selection to National Honor Society, which up to the present, has included ECA points.

According to Mr. William Bogar, principal, "This decision by the committee may mean a change in determining National Honor Society. The society is made up of seniors who rank highest in scholarship, citizenship and service records, and ECA points."

The next meeting of Student Affairs is scheduled for January 6. Meetings are held in Room 205; any interested person may attend.

Arrival of Snow Brings Various First-Reactions

City High School News

In order to increase the Yuletide spirit, other Lincoln High Schools are discovering different ways and renewing the traditional methods of celebrating Christmas.

Lincoln Northeast

Language classes decorated their rooms and some are even preparing meals that would be eaten in that country. The newspaper will be distributed by Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus (members of the staff), accompanied by Candy Canes.

As our oving microphone tunes in on our first person, we secretly listen to Mr. Delbert Scrooge, an elderly bachelor, after hearing the 7:00 weather report.

"Oh for gosh sakes, how come it always has to snow so much. It seems as if I am always out shoveling snow off the sidewalks. People keep on moving around the city, getting their cars stuck all over the road just causing more confusion. Drats! Why can't those dreadful little flakes quit falling."

The next stop for our roving microphone is a charming little home on Primrose Lane We now take you to the kitchen where little Jack a nd Jill Smith are sitting around the table, eating their bowls of oatmeal.

"Jack, Jack, did you hear that? It's snowing outside! Let's go look! Wowie! It's really snowing! Let's go get our warm clothes on and get outside before it stops snowing . Oh, boy! Hurry, so we can build a big snowman in the front yard."

A special visit by Santa Claus delighted all. Santa presented the new teachers with gifts. Refreshments were served.

To celebrate the holiday festivities, the Lincoln High Student Council presented the Links with a 15-foot Christmas tree.

Members of Council cut down the tree and placed it in the lounge .. During the lunch period, students were invited to help decorate it. Earlier Council deocrated the lounge in an effort to spread the holiday feeling.

Student Council also arranged a visit from Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus. Making their way down from the North Pole Monday were Santa John Arrigo Claus and Mrs. Mary Raymer Claus

Arriving Tuesday, Santa Pat Weyging Claus and Mrs. Vicki Jones Claus presented candy to the students. For a small fee, those who wanted a picture of themselves and Santa had the opportunity.

In order to promote the project, two Advocate

reporters interviewed Mrs. Hulda Roper, Lincoln police woman.

After learning of the situation that exists.in many homes, they were moved to help out in any way they could, and therefore

"adopted" these two families.

Since Santa Claus is soon to make his appearance at most Lincoln homes, two members of The Ad1•ocate staff played Santa and delivered the goodies in person to the families.

Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus await the line of kids to assure them that Santa will fill their stockings come Christmas Eve.

One of the many holidays celebrated this time of the year Channukah. Often called The Festival of Lights, it is a JeWISh Holy day, celebrated year from December 13 to 20. 1

Because Channukah falls in the same season as Christmas many people believe that it is a Jewish "Christmas" This a misconception shared by many. Channakah which pre-dates the Christmas holiday by many years has been celebrated for 21 centuries. '

Jews were being oppressed in Palestine by the Synans; a group of Jews, led by the Maccabbe brothers in 165 B.C., rose up against and won from the Syrian freeing them from three years of rule by the Synans. However, m the battle the enemy came into Jerusulem and the Temple was destroyed.

The temple housed the Eternal Light ·which was to be kept burning at all times. When the Jews began the repair of the Temple, they found that the candle had only enough oil to burn for one day. More oil was sent for but the journey took eight days.

It was then that a miracle in the Temple happened: the one day's supply of oil lasted eight days and the Eternal Light was kept burning.

The holy day now commemorates the heroism of the Jews who fought the Syrians and the remembrance of the miracle. It is celebrated by lighting a candle each day of

Channukah is a family affair which the whole family often celebrates by having dinners and reunions. Some families observe only the candle lighting ceremony while others celebrate the spirit of Christmas giving. ·

Some families with smaller children have found that a compromise between Channaukah and Christmas may be made. "They rename the Christmas tree the Channukah bush and place the Star of David on top of it. In other families the children receive small presents on each day of Channukah.

The children were very thrilled and excited to go see all the story-book and motion picture characters.

Joe said, "We enjoyed taking the kids out. Many people fear the responsibility of watching over the children in public; I thought it was a great experience."

Interact Club members have also been thinkng about taking some of the LOMAR children to a basketball game after christmas vacation.

Besides that, there will be an Advent wreath with four red candles. One of these is lit each Sunday of Advent.

We usually have a very quiet evening on which we sing a lot of the old German Christmas songs. This period before Christmas goes by with baking and locking oneself in ones' room to prepare presents, often things made by oneself.

The following days, St. Nicholaus appears several times on a white horse, susually with a black man at his side, who gives sticks and coal to the "bad kids."

You can also see a man dressed in red, the Christmas man. Americans call him Santa Claus, which compares to St. Nicholaus. Although they are completely different persons, many people get them mixed up and many families tell their children the little Christ Child brings the presents, instead of the original version of the Christmas man.

Prepare for 1972 ·· ·i·· ,tr ,- .

Resolve? ·Not Me J

Now that 1971 is rapidly drawing to a close, it is time to evaluate the events of the past year, and to launch next year's program of reform, otherwiSe known- as New Year's Resolutions.

Jhe purpose of a New Year's Resolution is to set goals for the reform of some of the less desirable characteristics that are present in all of us. Cleaning up some of our rather untidy (hmm) habits, or trying to form new ones are only a few ideas for these resolutions.

Perhaps this will be the year you will finally break down and clean out your closet. You may insist that your "Rockefeller for President in '68" posters and your 7th grade campfire ceremonial vests are not bothering anyone, but your parents may have other ideas for-the limited soacPin your closet.

Or maybe, with the coming ot spnng you can fmd time to rake up last October's leaves. You figured if you left them alone, maybe they'd blow over to the neighbor's yards, cr fertilize the ground.

The time may liave tinally come to lose all of those extra\ pounds that you have been trying to lose since third grade. You've tried before, but dieting makes you nervous, and everyone knows that one of your worst faults is that you eat twice as much when you're nervous.

Resolutions can be fun, and often present many constructive ideas. But a few years ago, I discovered that the best resolution of all (for me at least) is not to make New Years Resolutions!

Christmas, although a very jolly occasion, can well be more meaningful it yo\i put your imagination and creative ability te work. There are many things you can do to fill other's hearts with joy and get a rewarding satisfaction at the same time. ·Some of these projects may include:

Getting a group together and visiting hospitals, schools, and homes to sing Christmas carols.

Dressing up like Santa Claus and delight4tg many wee children with candy or small gifts.

!rimming the with homemade ornaments, popcorn stnngs and real pme cones. All these can give a tree more feeling and depth.

Making your own Christmas cards with simple objects found around the house such as, glitter, yam, or pop bottle caps. This will also break the monotonous task and add some cheer not only to you but to the receiver.

Making presents for your friends and family which will create endless joy. The gifts could be built, sewed, painted, or even carved.

Wrapping presents in unusual wrapping paper. might be the Sunday comics, aluminum wrap, or pretty department store sacks collected while doing the Christmas shopping.

The list above are just a few possibilities that might enlighten your Christmas as well as that of others.

Wow, I'm really excited. Here I am, a real live Christmas tree; I just hope some nice family will take me home and decorate me. Gee, I hope they come soon this is the last day before Christmas.

Oh, here comes someone now. They ate looking me over pretty close ... they did! I wish they would stop pounding my stump on the ground to see how many needles I'll lose. Now what are they going to do? Oh, stop that! I wish they wouldn't stroke my branches. I'm ticklish!

Good, He's talking it over with the family. I surely hope the decision is unanimous. Yes! It must have been-the father is paying the cashier, it looks as if I'm going to be an honest-to-goodness Christmas tree this year.

Here he comes to take me home. Oh, he's going to rope me to the top of the car. I hope he's gentle with that rope. Ugh, I've heard of being firm and flatter but this is ridiculous!

Finally we're home. Thank goodness, he's letting the ropes loose but here we go again with the pounding of my stump. If I don't get a migraine, it won't be his fault.

It's really nice and warm in here. They're getting out the decorations and Mom is putting on the Christmas music. Wow! This is the way I always dreamed it would be. The kids are singing carols while they put the ornaments on my branches. Here comes Dad with the star for my top. Wait! Don't forget to plug in my lights. There now, my outfit is complete.

What are they doing? Are they singing 0 Christmas Tree? Yes, and my bulbs are getting a little misty. Oh, I mustn't cry; I'll melt my icicles.

It's time for bed and soon Santa will come and put his presents under me. I can just hear St. Nick calling out his famous words, "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night."

Has the Advocate staff gone to the dogs? Not actually. This little fellow is just putting the finishing touches on his Christmas cards with the help of one of the rarely-vacant Advocate typewriters.

With the frequency and abundance of basketball games during the winter sports season and the l"acilities of today, the viewer sometimes tends to be unappreciative of the progress that has been made since basketball was first played at Lincoln High, sometime around 1900 .

The 1 modern facilities o f Johnson Gym and Auditorium are. a far cry from the sites of some of the earlier games. An early game was played in Omaha on a floor so slick that the players could barely move without falling. However , slippery floors were not the only problem. A game with South Omaha, in J 903, was played in a YMCA Building in an arena whose roof was only two feet above the top of the basket making it almo.§t to s_core a

Practice sites were also a problem. In 1906, the team's elation at acquiring the girl's gym as a practice area was short-lived, because during these practice sessions plaster was being knocked off the walls in the rooms below and the privilege was discontinued.

One similarity between games of the past and now is the inevitable disagreement between fans and officials In a game in 1908 (which Lincoln High lost 25-22) the officiating was so questionable and provoked such fan reaction, it took two hours to play two 20-minute halves.

Some of the scores of the earlier games, although not considered too unusual at the time, would be front page sports news today. Can you imagine going to a game where not only the halftime but also the final score is J 0-0? In J 917, the Links beat Wilbur by this score in the State Tournament .

Acco r ding to Advocate wrap-up ot' the 1908-09 season, Lincoln High beat Temple High School b Y. the unbebevable score of 136-1 Two P.layers scored 44 points each.

Games prior to 1937 tended to end with much lower scores because of the center jump rule, which required that after each basket the teams would line up m the center of the court for a jump ball to restart the game. The clock was left which used up potential playmg time m reassembling for the center jump.

1 ;

Needless to say, after t this rule was eliminated in 1937, there was much more actual playing time, which meant more chance to score.

If.

Throughout the history of basektball at Lincoln High, many local, state, and regional honors have been claimed by the Links. In 19 J 9, after a perfect season the Links became champions of Nebraska' and Colorado by beating the Colorado champions twice .

In J 927, the Links added a national honor to the list of victories by defeating Alpine (Kentucky) 71 -9 in the first round of the national tournament in Chicago . This was the highest point spread by two teams nationals to that point.

Lincoln High won the state championship in 1913-14 ; 1914-15; 1916-17; 1917-18; 1919-20; 1926-27; 1929-30; 1933-34; 1937-38; 1941-42; 1942-43; 1945-46 ; 1954-55; 1957-58; and 1958-59.

Jerry Bockoven

Jerry Bockoven's most memorable experience in athletics was this year when ne was chosen to the All-City football team and to honorable mention for the All-State team. "Losing to East High in football this year, 50-0, was quite embarrassing," admitted Jerry.

He likes both football and wrestling because "football is a great team effort and wrestling is great for an individual. Participating in athletics gives me a chance to meet people and give my all for one certain goal; I hope to gain a deeper understanding of myself and others," Jerry stated.

Jerry likes the athletic program at Lincoln High because it gives him a chance to meet people different from himself.

His future plans are to "bum" around for a year and then attend the University of "''ebraska or

some coilege and play ball or wrestle.

Bill Hudson

Future plans for Bill Hudson are to attend somE college to play basketba[ and study Spanish.

"The academic opportunities that you can find at Lincoln High" is what he likes best about the school.

"Basketball is my favorite sport," said Bill, "because it takes a complete team to win, but yet there is room to 'do your own thing!"

His most memorable experience in athletics was being able to start in the district basketball game last year and playing the whole game.

Dropping a touchdown pass in the end · zone this

year against Southeast is not one of Bill's happier moments.

Marc LeBaron

Swimming is Marc LeBaron's favorite sport because "the effort of both the individual and the team is important."

From his participation in sports, Marc Hopes to gain the ability to rely on himself to get something done.

"Being chosen to the All-City swim team as a sophomore is my most memorable experience in athletics," said Marc. "Getting my head shaved for the state meet was sure embarrassing."

The great amount or spirit at Lincoln High that the student body displays is what he likes best about the school.

Jim Adkins

Jim Adkins likes the students at Lincoln High and says, "I can get along with most of them but there are a few that can really bug you."

Basketball is Jim's favorite sport because he feels "it's a game where you use all of your senses except taste and smell. You have to have your mind in the right state before you go out on the court."

From his participation in athletics, Jim hopes to gain "the right attitude in life to accept defeat."

Getting beat by East this year by 29 points is his most embarrassing experience. He says, "there isn't really any one thing that is real memorable but the good experiences flash back in your mind."

In the future Jim hopes to go to either Nebraska Wesleyan or Jackson State.

Sally was in competition with girl representatives from Southeast and Pius X high schools. The girls were judged on their school records, community service, a written exam (mainly on current events), and an interview with the three chairmen of the committee.

Sally's application will be sent to the state convention to be judged with other chapter winners.

Scribe, Lincoln High's collection of literary works, holds its second big competition January 10 through February 11.

Organization Formed To Fulfill Need

Because of what was termed "several small incidents that have occurred recently at Lincoln High School," two girls, Kathy Tarpley and Debbie Wilkinson felt that "some Black student organization should be formed to coordinate the Black feeling within the school and to create a group that would be in a position to solve problems that might arise."

With administrative encouragement, a committee met January 3 to set up a general Black students meeting which was held January 7 in the Little Theater. Debbie presided and faculty members, Mrs. Thelma Thompson and Mr. Paul Adams, were asked to be co-sponsors. All Black Lincoln High School students were invited to be present to determine if such an organization was needed and wanted. Plans were made to take a Black student census. In addition, thP. <!hlliP.nh UIPTP ""JrP.ti tn

air their grievances and "gripes."

Fifty-eight students responded and indicated they felt such an organization was desired. Plans were then made for future activities of The Black Movement, the name by which the group will be known. Understanding of the problems of the Black persons by themselves and other students is a primary goal.

State Senator Ernie Chambers of Omaha, was invited to speak to the group on January 13; also, an all-school assembly during Black History Week is planned for February 4 to hear Senator Chambers and Mr. Hayes Pope, University of Nebraska Coordinator of Minority Affairs, speak on B I ack Politics and Education.

Other future plans will include observation of Brotherhood Week, February 13 to 19, with an all-Black art show, a Black

dance, and the production of a play.

The group also drew up a set of recommendations of changes it would like to see implemented: new books by and for Blacks to be purchased for the school library; a Black coach to direct physical education after-school sports; a Black counselor to be engaged; Black teachers to teach courses in Black Literature and Afro-American History.

Roger Rife, a 1967 Lincoln High graduate and a senior at the University of Nebraska, will serve during the second semester as a teacher aide in the Social Studies Department. He will work with Mr. Alden Johnson for two hours daily and will serve as an administrative aide with Mr. William Pfeiff for three hours. According to the committee, the group hopes eventually to set up a panel

schools to talk about the Black minority problems in a predominately White nation.

"We want others to know what it's like to be black, to discuss why Blacks are feared, and why prejudice exists," Kathy explained. "We think such discussion would better the relationship among the schools."

The Steering Committee, which hopes to be able to schedule bi-monthly meetings to keep the membership informed, includes the following:

Bonnie Bluford, Robert Bluford, Linda Dowd, Stanley Dowd, Mike Fultz, William Hudson, Tommy Jordan, Robert Keaton, Mark King, Kathy Tarpley, Sharon Tate, Joyce Smith, Irma Wells, Jeannie Whiteman, and Debbie

Editorial Comment ‘Necessary Pollution’ What Is Tolerable

The question of “necessary” pollution is one that this country is having to face and will continue to face for many years. Just how much pollution is “tolerable” in order to keep society at a high level of consumption and, at the same time, insuring the same high level for the millions of Americans that are expected to be born in the next few decades? How much, if any, real sacrifice will people undertake without complaining?

Will the U.S. have to prohibit sales of increased mnurnbers of electricity-consuming devices because electricity production causes pollution? Will jobs be lost because industry cannot increase production without increasing pollution?

Will Industry continue to stripmine coal, causing the loss of millions of acres of land for several hundred yearg? Will uhurban blight continue to tak: farm fields and woods, as new houses, sLopping centers, highway commercial strips, schools, factories, all go up in an endless procession?

Clearly, some sort of intelligent compromise will have to be made so that the best ecological circumstances can be obtained with the largest possible level of production by industry. This is not to say that more of the environment will not be lost; land will be taken anytime the population increases and more area has to be taken for the new growth to live on.

The compromise that is needed to continued growth will merely give the world time! assess the

Back Lot ‘In a Rut

11 you’ve ever walked out into the parking lot behind Lincoln High S;hool only to discover someone ha:; dented the side ot your car door, you know how exasperating it is to he a victim of some of your fellow drivers’ arele.ssness.

Too many students park somewhat ;ph:iz::rdlv, caring little about whose car he blocks, sideswipes, dents, or smashes. Seldom, when these accidents happen, does the driver contact the owner of the car and settle any financial responsibility for the damage.

Some courtesy in the parking facilities could be shown by being a little more meticulous about how one’s car is parked. Is it too much to ask that the driver make sure the person next to him will he able to get his car out without hitting another?

Much of the damage that results from the chaotic conditions could be remedied if the parking facilities were improved. The writer offers the fellowine suggestions:

1. Definite parking spaces marked to indicate where cars may park

2. Chuckholes eliminated to make all areas usable

3. Rows established to prevent people from backing into other cars

Parking regulations have been set up for the protection of all drivers. Obviously, some persons cannot or will not obey the rules. To make him responsible, appropriate action should be taken against the violator: On the first offense he should be issued a courtesy ticket stating the nature of his error after which any futher violation should result in his being deprived of the privilege of parking in one of the school lots.

A broken headlight, a dented door, or a creased tender aren’t the most welcome sights. No one likes to have his car battered and mangled while he is husily attending school. If each driver would think about the person next to him when parking, these little incidents could be prevented.

At 7:30 a.m., I leave my fortress of solitude to take in another exciting day of school. As I hop in my faithful ear “Trigger,” I gently start the engine.

When I arrive at my friend’s house to pick her up, I tap Trigger’s horn to give her a hurry-up warning. Now in the car, my friend and I are on our way to school. Discussing last evening’s experiences at our homes, I recount my dad’s troublesome remarks about Trigger’s underneath. It has been getting pretty badly scarred up by driving through the ruts in the entrace of the south parking lot.

At the parking lot at school, I turn in and try to go around but there being at least four or five large ruts it is impossible so—chunk! down we go. Stepping out of my car rather angrily, I trudge up to The Advocate office to ask about an article on the chance of leveling the ruts. Upon being told then that if we (the students) gripe too much they (the administration) will dispose of the south lot and have us hold up traffic from crossing Capital Parkway by having us park in the lot being fixed-up across the street. I realized there is nowhere else to turn but to “Free Press” to find some students who are also in the “RUT” as I. But I, comparable to a “rut” in the parking lot, cannot arrange to have the work done myself. Therefore I must

population. A compromise is essential to “buy” as much time as possible.

For the public to be aware of such a vital concern, they must be well-informed. This is the reason The Advocate, starting in this issue, is publishing a three-part series on the problems of pollution and production.

Voting: Be Informed!

Eugene McCarthy is the former Senator from Minnesota. Since becoming a member of Congress in 1949, he has been a strong supporter of Civil Rights.

“It is urgent that in addition to our guaranteed legal rights, we move on to establish a whole new set of civil rights,” says Mr. McCarthy of people’s personal freedoms. In more recent years he has strongly opposed the war and has spoken out against it.

In March of 1968, shortly before the Democratic Convention, he said, “The need now is for a great reconciliation, a reconciliation of the young and the old, of race with race, of Congress with the residency, but principally of the thought and spirit and the best traditions of America with the pressing need for action.”

George McGovern is the democratic Senator from South Dakota. He is considered very liberal and has spoken out against the war in Vietnam for several years. Mr. McGovern is strongly opposed to the bombing in North Vietnam and much of the military spending.

He feels that a wage-price freeze is good and he also supports the idea of a job for every adult who wants one through government contracting. He is for selling planes to Israel and was sympathetic towards the Bengalis in their struggle for independence.

What About Honor Pass?

To whom it may concern:

Whatever happened to the honor pass system? Why haven’t any follow-ups been given to the student body? A few students wondered why we’ve never heard any more about it’s use. Thank you, Interested Bystanders

[According to Mary Raymer, Student Council member, Honor Passes were originally sponsored by the Student Council. With the elimination of study halls, they felt that the majority of the students would no longer have use for these passes, so they were discontinued.

It Takes So Little To Make Them Happy i’v

Students Visit Beatrice Home Second Half of Year

It took so little to make them happy. Just the presence of the kids excited them. As soon as the visiting students entered the room they were greeted with cries of “Hey, buddy,” “Are you going to stay,” “What’s your name?”

This was what 20 members of Mrs. Virginia Safford’s psychology classes found as they visited the Beatrice State Home, Sunday, January 2. Discussion of the trip to the Beatrice home had begun before vacation after a report about the home by Mary Raymer, who had visited the home previously.

It was decided that the only way to really experience conditions at the home was to visit. This was an out-of-school project, done totally on the students’ own initiative, since the school would not approve it as a field trip. ‘Twenty students and three adults took part on th rip; several oilers helned by donating food. clothing, and toys for the Itonic.

When the students got to the home, they split into groups and visited kids of various age-groupings. They stayed with these kids, playing with them until visiting hours were over.

The majority of the young people at Beatrice are mentally retarded. Communication was tiE call, even with the older children, because most Could fl 0 t eOflstrL!CL sentences; a few could not be understood at all. But they all showed that there ace inure ways tu communicate than the ones everyone takes for granted.

over their experiences

and too institutionalized, with little regard for individuality. Some felt that with so small a staff, the supervisors could not do much more than control the kids and could give little personal attention.

In the wards visited, there were about 12 children to one adult supervisor. Another item noticed was that there was ii lack of educational toys. Stcphane Steen said, “They o vet! the puzzles. There were hardly any cii icatiunal toys around. hut they loved and kept putting together the few puzzles lhcy had.”

First impressions were something that many Links will remember from the ‘I’he students who went trip, Many said they were on the trip can’ back with “scared and nervous” when ‘aria reactions. Aiiiosi they I a’-, went in. Jim everybody tiiuiht that he Hahn, who was the major buildings were undci’stali’eci organizer of the trip, said,

A diet. Isn’t that what happens when your jeans won’t button? Right on!

Some very common quotes concerning dieting include:

“I’ll begin my diet tomorrow.” (Tomorrow never comes!)

“I’m not counting today.”

“This little bitty piece of cake won’t hurt me.”

“I’ll eat only one cookie instead of three carrots.”

‘l’1l stock LI my stomach tonight since I’m going to begin my thet tomorrow.”

The following is a diet borrowed (in part) from an exchange high school paper. After the holidays we all need to “get back into things.”

MONDAY: Breakfast: weak tea; optional, 1 drop lemon

Lunch: one boullion cube in ½ cup diluted water

Dinner: one pigeon thigh and three ounces of ice cube juice

TUESDAY: Breakfast: crumbs scraped from burnt toast and three peas

Lunch: doughnut hole without sugar and one glass dehydrated water

Dinner: canary eyebrows stewed, fat removed

WEDNESDAY:

Breakfast: boiled-out

stains of tablecloth

Lunch: one-half dozen

casserole

Dinner: bees’ knees and mosquitoes’ knuckles sauted in vinegar

THURSDAY: Breakfast: shredded eggshell skins and two prunes

Lunch: button from a young naval orange

Dinner: jellyfish vertebrae with juice drained from one boiled raisin

FRIDAY:

Breakfast: two lobster antennae and one sprig parsley

Lunch: one guppy fin, broiled

Dinner: three eyes from Irish potatoes, diced; ½ minute of aroma of the rest of the family’s roast beef dinner

SATURDAY: Breakfast: four chopped banana seeds and one cheerio

Lunch: broiled butterfly liver

Dinner: fillet of soft shell crab claw shell

SUNDAY:

Breakfast: pickled hummingbird tongue

Lunch: fricasseed prime rib of tadpole

Dinner: tossed paprika and clover leave salad

Desert: one sniff chocolate cake

All kidding aside, the only true way to diet is through will power and exercise. The best exercise is nushin yourself away from

“When you first go in, you’re sort of afraid, defensive. But by the end of the day, you don’t feel that they’re retarded, you just feel that they’re ‘limited.’ You have a lot to teach them, and they had a lot to teach you.”

Many of the students felt that some of the kids they were playing with wcuid have done better in a family environment. Saran Panic said, “I don’t think some of them i’c:oi:g there. Some of them would be better off with their family.” Dennis Nelson said, “1 feel that most of them would do better in a home environment.”

However, this opinion was not unanimous. Jim Hahn said, ‘‘Feing with equals ec:; them. gives them seeurrt aonletnir:g to turn to.” Sonic felt that an out-paL tent stem where the children were placed in a foster home environment part of the time would be useful.

The students all came back with the feeling that something should be done to improve the situation

Many people do not realize some of the problems a newspaper staff encounter in publishing a paper.

Such confusion and hassle temporarily challenged fvfrs. Jane Cleveland’s three sunho more English classes when they each undertook to write and publish a newspaper.

Under the supervision of Miss Barbara Houch, Mrs. Cleveland’s student teacher from Wesleyan, each class completed the assignment in reference to the book, The Bridge of San Luis by Thorton Wilder. Students used the characters and incidents from the book as the basis for their newspaper stories. A list of possible stories was posted and students signed up for them. Articles that appeared in the student newspapers included: Ann Landers, want ads, daily statistics, cartoons, news-stories, society page, Letters to the Editor, sports, crossword puzzles, and many other features that appear in any daily

Just think, half of the i971-72 school year is over. Time to pack up last semester’s books and supplies and turn them in for new and exciting textbooks.

they found at the home.

Many said that they planned to write to their state senator telling their reactions. Chan Taylor said, “I wonder if Nebraskans really need that fieldhouse.”

Other students, who could not make the trip, contributed cookies, boxes of clothing, and stuffed animals. They were Debbie Padwrg, Janet PaNama, Colleen Brockman, Pyncite Cues. Ann i-h ubt 3 and Debbie Zeller.

The students who went on the trip are planning a return visit. They thought that the whole effort would be lost if everybody just forgot about it. Mary Raymer said, “One girl who was really affectionate, said after ‘a while ‘Are von going to leave too?’ if that is what is going to happen to this trip; I hope that we don’t just stop thinking about it.”

After learning of the trip in one of the Lincoln papers, Kings Food Host donated a $25 gift certificate to the Beatrice State Home.

The two editors from each of the classes were Bernice Bowling and Ron Scheidt, period two; Tony Adcock and Jay Lawson, period three; Sandy Dauphin and Donald Nelson, period seven.

The Home Ec Department also has its share of new classes. They range from Gardening and Landscaping, to Pa finishing Furniture, to Eat Eight, Feel Right, all taught by Mi’s. Cathie Godbersnn.

But don’t get in a big rush, first semester is not quite over. Grade cards are yet to be distributed; time and places will be posted at a later date.

Afro-American History, taught by Mr. Allen Johnson also during first period, will feature a study of the part all Americans have played in making this nation, with special emphasis upon those who constitute one-ninth of’ the op ulation—the Black American.

Young Life Skiers Invade

If the mid-winter, second semester BLAI-IS have got you down, why don’t you try getting a new tablet or a new box of crayons to show off to all your friends in your new classes. i-i o we v e r t h c publications were finally finished and according to the English Department faculty members, “It was an interesting and worthwhile activity.”

After the start of the second half the Rockets piled up a comfortable 47-27 cushion with three minutes left in the third quarter. The Links, however, did manage to chop the 20-point lead to 51-42 with 5:15 left in the fourth quarter.

The Links were able to score only three more points before the game ended.

Mike Fultz hit 14 points for the Links and Steve Harris finished with 10.

Omaha Central

Lincoln High travelled to Omaha, January 15, to meet Omaha Central and went down in defeat to the Eagles, 73-61.

The Links were behind by six at the end of the first quarter but pulled within one point, 31-30, at the intermission break. Bob Knollenberg, who hit nine counters in the second quarter, led the Links comeback attempt before the half.

Central began to pull away in the second half; the Links couldn't come any closer than four points as the Eagles continued to build a larger margin.

Three Links fmished in double figures: Bob Knollenberg hit 20 points; Bob Folsom tallied 11; and Steve Harris had 10.

The Links record stands at 3-5.

'The Second Son of Athletics'

The 1920's Wl."-re exciting years for basketball as they 1 were for football. The sport, which had gained great I popularity at Lincoln .Jigh School, was recognized as "the second son of king athletics." Although the next championship was not to come until the 1926-27 season, the intervening years were not dull. The 1921 and 1922 squads won seventeen of twenty-one and twenty-twO of thirty-three games played, respectively.

The one thing that Henry

likes most about Lincoln High is "talking with the freaks."

Swimming is his favorite sport because he loves the work and competition and hopes "to gain friends and a good competitive experience."

Henry's most memorable experience in athletics was beating East High in a swim meet as a sophomore and taking city.

"My most embarrassing experience, which occurred when I was a sophomore came at Driesbach's Steak House after the Grand Island meet," states Henry. 1 won't elaborate."

Later on, Henry would like to go to law school.

Curtain To Rise on Mummers' One-Act Plays

Cast and crew members are rushing towards the completion date that looms ahead. Construction of two sets in the four weeks since the sets were designed, has been one of the most difficult tasks in the show.

For these one-acts, Mrs. Beth Westcott, drama teacher, bas been aided by two student directors, Landis Magnuson, who has been working on White Lies and George Shaner ot Black Comedy. Landis says of his director's role, "It's been fun working with a small cast. It's a challenging script." Mrs. Westcott said of both directors, "Without them we couldn't be doing these plays; the entire effort is uncoordinated enough as it is!"

Reaction of cast members vary with the play they are in Mary Raymer, who plays a Baroness fortuneteller, says,. "The character, Sophie, is very complex, and so are the men, which is why White Lies effectiveness will rely solely on the actors' capabilities "

Jim Hahn, who plays a rock singer, says, "I think White Lies is the first completely serious play we've done in a long time."

However, the actors in Black Comedy reflect the mood of this play.

Chan Taylor and Beth Minard, who play ex-lovers who come back together, chorused, "It's too bad -they cut the bedroom scene."

The following have been assigned to technical crews for the Mummers' production:

Youth Has Potentiai'To Mold World'

Speaking before double assemblies at Lincoln High School, Friday, February 4, Ernest Chambers, Nebraska State Senator from Omaha, lashed out at the audiences in an effort to "stir the minds" of the students who, he said, have the potential to "mold the world into something better than it is."

The Black Movement Committee, a group of 12 Black students, organized the assembly and invited Senator Chambers to speak. The purpose in the action was "to better the relationship between black and white students."

Senator Chamber suggested that if any chances are to made in the relationships of the world, they must start now, with

the present generation.

He stated that the students presently attending Lincoln High School represent a "microcosm of America." He continued that if students don't like the way things are, a good place to begin is to "start with changing the school."

Citing "apathy and lethargy" in Lincoln high schools as a problem with students today, he affirmed that they have chains on their minds" and have no inspiration, no goals, no unifying force except football.

Senator Chambers said he feels ashamed that the only thing Nebraska is known for is its football.

"People are number one in foolishness, and in inability to think when their whole life is wrapped up in football."

According to Senator Chambers, there is more of a "credibility gap than a generation gap" existing between the young and the old today, which is brought about by an "inconsistency between what adults say and what they do" and the

"moral bankruptcy" of the big officials tnat are running our country

He urged students to think for themselves and not be carbon copies of hypocritical adults. He concluded with the warning not to be like "jellyfish who maintain their shape in water," but who "melt away to nothing on dry land."

Unifying Force

In regard to Senator Chambers recent visit to Lincoln High:

The past year has been very disappointing to most of the people of Nebraska. With the War in southeast Asia, a troubled economy, and crime and violence on the upswing, it has done little to unify the people of our state.

But we had one thing for all to be proud of. The University of Nebraska Cornhuskers football team. In the past year they have been a unifying force that heaped fame and fortune on the state and increased the popularity of our state. Just about everyone knows about Number One Nebraska. Bob Devaney’s “miracle workers” have really put us on the map.

But for someone who is obviously not a supporter of our team,to tell us we are wrong for supporting, leaves us an obvious opinion about him, also.

Senator Chambers shouldn’t you wait until you have personally done more to promote our state in just about every way that this fine team has done, before you tell us that we are wrong for liking them? Truly they are a “goodwill ambassador” for the state more so than yourself. The Creative Writing Troupe

So-called Brothers

Well, here I am, sitting in the Lincoln High lounge. What a cool sight. I can see all the Black brothers of LHS sitting on the benches in the hall as if they are still in slavery. One is running up and down the hall acting like a fool, or talking a cool rap. “What’s going on brother?” “Hey man” is his reply. Then you can turn around and they will stab you in the back. They will talk aboul you and be your friend for awhile, but you can tell by some of their faces (which are nothing but smiling faces) that they just pretend to be your friend.

Let me tell you about one who stands out from them. I-ic is a pretty nice guy as long as he isn’t with his little cIiqie (gang!). But when he gets with his friends he will try to make a fool out of you.

I attended the Black meeting which was held one day recently. To me this was very good (o see all the so-called Black brothers say “we want a Black this and a Black that at Lincoln High.” But then they leave with a white girl and grin from ear to ear like some monkey.

When I went to one of the Keentime dances, I was just sick to see all of the beautiful Black sisters sitting on the sidelines when our so-called Black bruthei-s lldvc a wiulc girl, who thii,ks she has whaL it takes to be a Black man’s woman.

A so-called Black brother who believes in Black power but has a white girlfriend, has no more Black power than a fresh white snowfall, in the halls of Lincoln High.

I myself would like to see all the Black brothers at least talk to a Black sister at LHS. Most of the time, the Black sister will have to speak first, which shouldn’t be. The Black man should respect his Black woman because of her Black heritage, which all brothers and sisters should be proud of.

In conclusion, I can only say that this is not meant for all brothers of LHS. If this pertains to you to some degree, get yourself together! If you don’t, shout “White Power” instead of “Black P’wer.”

The Human Race

We would like to commend Senator Ernest Chambers for challenging our minds during the assembly, February 4.

We agreed and disagreed with many of his topics. He challenged us to prove him wrong or change the wrong. This is what made his speech so effective.

Many white people were offended and felt that he “wasn’t even talking to the whites.” However, what he did was make the white people the minority for a change. (It feels pretty bad, doesn’t it?)

We feel the issue made of the three students who left the basketball team, was misinterpreted. It seems to us Chambers was only congratulating them for standing up for what they believed in. Any person who does this in any situation deserves commendation.

Teachers who expressed their prejudiced views to the class should be ashamed. Many of these teachers did not encourage other opinions and left the students with the idea that the teacher’s view was the right opinion. Teachers such as these, we feel, have abused their privilege and obligations as teachers.

One of the bad effects of the speech was the separation which resulted. Howevei, all Chambers did was to bring out the feelings, that were already present, in the open.

All people should realize that the only way we are going to achieve happiness is through one superior race—the Human Race. p.c.p.

On Ecocrisis

The environmental crisis we are experiencing today seems to be unique in history. Never before has a problem of such great scope and immediacy to the public been in so great part caused by that very public on an individual, day-to-day basis.

The crisis has served not only the purpose of awakening Americans to the problems of technology, population growth, and of the very impracticability of the “American way of Life” on a sustained basis but it has also become very instructive as a focal point of the problems of this society: its inconsistencies, its lethargy, and its subjection to vested interests.

Part one of The Advocate’i series on pollution made a few very interesting observations, some made more tragically true, I fear, than many people realize.

Everyone is aware of the problems of environmental depredation, and any informed citizen knows what can be done on an individual basis to ameliorate the situation. Yet,’ The Advocate rightly points out, “few would be willing to give up air-conditioning in their houses or offices. their cars, or their jobs if (it were required to prevent further environmental damage.”

Have Americans become spoiled, selfish children unable to see beyond their own creature comforts? People, when speaking of the causes of pollution, often use the nebulous generic “we” usually meaning “they.” Financial progress and growth of the economy remain sacrosanct while people search for a panacea for pollution in the very technology which created it (a solution which is dilatory at best and which tends to obfuscate the issues at hand). Meanwhile, as The Advocate goes on to imply, the government gropes in the dark for halfway measures, its hands bound by big business and special interest lobbiers.

In the confusion, buck-passing is rampart. The public blames industry, industry blames the public. The only hope for a solution, it becomes evident, is (to repeat a proposal to which everyone is inured) a real revolution in American attitudes and values, de-emphasizing the personal advantage in favor of the preservation of the ecological community as a whole.

Sacrifices must be made, luxuries must be dropped if we are expecting to remain here on this now-battered planet Earth.

Peápié Must Fight Forces of Pollution

Ed. note—this is the second of a three-part series dealing with the dilemma of increasing electric power against the need for conserving natural resources. It is becoming obvious that a compromise will have to be worked out between rabid conservationists and chamber of commerce boosters. This compromise will not only entail legislation, but the popular support of the nation to give the legislation “bite.” People must pay higher prices for environmental services. But the main item is that people must look past immediate profit in order to afford the best combination of environmental protection and necessary increase in production.

In many fields, these sorts of compromises are already being effected. The beginning was the enactment of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, which requires all federal agencies to submit an environmental impact statement for each project—telling the effect that it would have on the environment.

In Nebraska, part of the result of this act means that for each highway project that is federally financed, the Nebraska Department of Roads must submit one of these statements. A typical statement contains such details as traffic

This sensitivity to the "atmosphere" of the play is what is Students learn to see the "relevancy to productions" of the important about costume selection. technical side of dramatics.

According to Mrs Westcott, at the beginning of the semester each member is given a project which he may do individually or with another person. He must read a play and then design a scale model set, along with light plotting, costume designs, make-up charts, and a list of props that would be necessary for its production.

During the course of the class, the student is first exposed to the working parts of the stage and later to scenic and theater design.

After seeing how the actual stage is "set," the student explores flat-making and the selection and placement of stage props. Difficulties may arise if, for instance, the set is built and the viewer cannot see a person who is supposed to be seen. This is one of the problems a student learns to )Vercome in Stagecraft.

Color Creates Mood

Painting and color design are the next steps covered on he road to a finished production. Mixing colors to create tew shades for sky, grass, and other background is :ncouraged.

Once the student is taught to match colors with certain noods-such as gray and black with a dull, drab day-stage ighting is the next step. He learns that lights can add xcitement, mystery, or sadness when properly utilized.

Make-up is the last step covered in Stagecraft. When make-up is skillfully applied, it can add greatly to the projection Gf:.. anyone-.i.masirul a circus clown with only his normal face? Would he be as funny? Would he even be a clown?

Students Help in Actual Production

Some of the students in the first semester Stagecraft class helped with the recent production of West Side Story. What turned out to be the official stage design for the musical was Rita Kumm's Stagecraft class project.

An interest in lights and lighting, stemming from being in Stagecraft class, brought both Jim Howe and Vicki Miller, under the direction of Bob Downs, into the job of manning the switches for the musical.

Other students including Mike Coatney, John Luethje, Peggy Schwinck. and many others in the last semester's class helped with the musical's productior. With the students' being able to work during the class period, many long after-school hours of preparation were eliminated.

If the two classes in Stagecraft scheduled this semester is any indication, there must be a rising interest in dramatics in every aspect-behind the scenes as well as behind the foot lights.

Lincoln High School was well-represented by its art students at the annual, all-city, Women's Club Exhibit held during the week of January 24-28 in the auditorium of downtown Miller and Paine.

Walking away with first-place blue ribbon awards were two Links, Carol Dingman and Regina Neeman Kennett. Red (second place), yellow (third), and white (fourth place) ribbons were also won by Julie Barr, (third); Marlene Bratt, (third); Barb Butterfield, (second); Margaret Fiedler (third). ' Sherry Hansel, (second); Gudrun Henriksson, (fourth); Liz Kildau, (third); Mark Linke, (fourth); Tim Van Meyer, (third); Van O'Connor, (second); Sam Ridge, (third); Amy Schmidt, (third); Laurel Sheldon, (fourth); Pam Stokes, (third); Mike Wilson, (second); and Ilmars Ziemelis, (third).

Each Lincoln high school was allowed to submit 30 entries. Divisions of competition were charcoal, ink, pencil, silkscreen, print process, etching, and paint.

A special art feature occurred February 7 at Lincoln High School. This was the opening of an exhibit which highlights the works of the art teachers, Mrs. JoAnn Alfrey and Mrs. Judy Thompson. The display is in Room 205.

The works of Lincoln High School art students have been on exhibit throughout the school for some time Their creativeness has prompted displays not only to the hallcases but also, for public viewing, at Miller and Paine.

Exhibits of student work have been continuously displayed in the showcases located on second floor outside of the main office and outside the woodworking shop.

The displays range in variety from photographs, plaster relief figures, printing processes, and pottery to different techniques of bookbinding.

The pieces chosen for display in the cases are usually three-dimensional and are selected according to quality of the workmanship and their uniqueness.

The exhibits, which are changed frequently, reflect the type of work presently being done in the classroom. A variety of work is selected to represent each art class.

''The purpose of exhibiting art work throughout the sc ho o 1 is to give u s·as much exposure to the arts a possible," commented Mrs. Louise Bereuter, art instructor.

"An interesting display now being shown is an exhibit bookbinding. First, the students learned the professional techniques of bookbinding; then they were asked to produce a book of their own, using materials, illustrations and structure which corresponded with the subject book.

"Two examples are a book of poetry (enclosed in a clay pot) and a study of insects with a cover shaped and finished as a ladybug."

These nine girls were recently selected as members of Aqualinks. They are front row: Judy Jaques, Bonnie Weimer, Cindy Morrison, and Carol Krassig. Back row: Bonnie Barber, Rhonda Bay, JoAnn Highstreet, Robin Sommers, and Patti Place.

W ork+ Pinch of Fun Baking Class

The French Chef faces competition in comical cookery with the new bak ing classes.

While dining on pancakes and waffles, the 8:00 a m. class was awakened by a loud snap. Upon investigation, it was discovered that a mouse (which had undoubtedly been enticed by the pleasing (?) aroma of the breakfast was caught in a trap

Since the victim did not meet nutritional standards, it was dec ided that it should be thrown away. Because the class is not limited to females, the y-y-yuky task was completed by a brave chef.

Amusing episodes are numerous and never-ending in this versatile creative cooking class Did you ever try to fill a cream puff that well didn't puff?

One tip learned by a few extra bright students was that if one was having trouble baking his cookies, it could be because the oven wasn't turned on!

According to the hosts and hosesses, the most dramatic experience in the baking class was the Christmas Tea Candles quivered in the dimly lit room which had been appropriately decorated for the occasion.

The class members had prepared different breads, cookies, and candies to be served to the faculty as a sort of farewell party before the holiday.

According to one senior basketball player, who daintily poured coffee into the fragile crystal cups, the tea was given before vacation so that "teachers and other guests could recover from anything that resulted from what they ate "

The biggest hit made by some slightly over-done muffins As the 9-week course neared its end, about 30 more was when they hit the bottom of the garbage disposal. skilled bakers were available to demonstrate their abilities in the fascinating and fun world of baking.

The selections were made on t he basis of science projects each entrant had worked on individually. These projects ranged from "Magic Number" boxes to many computer analysis problems The emphasis was on environmental projects with much biological research.

Although he did not qualify for further com p e tit ion, Harold believes that the honor will help him when applying for other scholarships.

One other Lincoln High School student entered the competition. Ronald Bartzatt's project was an attempt to grow microoorganisms in various pollutants to study the effects on the organisms.

Harold's project was en titled "Transmission of Transshipment Problem Joyce Obe with Forward Flow Only " rg "That involves," Harold ( w· said, "finding the cheapest ontest Inner way to ship a commodity from a supply point to a demand point through an intermediate stop."

The project was actually "finding a new way to solve an old rna thematical problem," he said Harold did all his own computations, and estimates that over the period of a month he worked about 60 hours on the project.

Joyce Oberg has been announced as this year's winner of the Betty Crocker Homemaking test taken by senior girls earlier this year.

When informed of her achievement, Joyce was "surprised."

Rewards for her efforts include recognition, a silver-heart charm, and a chance to go on and compete at the state level.

Studen t s Discover 'Do-lt-Yourself' Clothes Are Exclusive

Are the new nine-week courses truly successful? If the enthusiasm shown by the girls in Mrs. Kaye Sayre's first period sewing-with-specialty-fabrics class is any "gauge," the answer is definitely affirmative

During the course, the girls in this class worked mainly with fake fur. Their

projects ranged from fur hats, purses, and mittens, to coats of all lengths

So successful was the first quarter that most of the class signed up for the second quarter on an independent study program

Each of the girls interviewed agreed that she was able to save money by sewing these items rather than purchasing them.

The most outstanding example of savings is Deanne Broughton's project. She made a coat, muff, and purse for about $125. Deanne adapted the style of a coat selling for $354 in a local store.

Some of the furs were quite thick, and tailoring and finishing, which included hand-bound buttonholes, were more difficult; however, the girls agreed that these new learning experiences were well worth the effort

The majority of the girls had sewed before, but working with these projects renewed their enthusiasm for this craft

Although the girls seemed partial to coat-making, other garments using other types of materials also proved popular.

Designing lingerie and working with leather , vinyls, and knits were also included in the course of study.

The cast of War includes Bob Thurber, Young Actor; Mary Martin, Lady; and Harold Johnson, Old Actor.

Shela Calls Brazil 'Home'

Shela received $150 from the scholarship fund, which is approximately one tenth of the expense involved in sending an American student abroad. The total cost includes a "participation fee," monthly allowance, transportation, immunization and other health costs, and a few school expenses.

Being gone for an entire year has its advantages and disadvantages, according to Shela; however, she said she looked forward to the trip with great anticipation.

"Staying in Brazil for the whole year will give me more of an opportunity to learn about the county than a summer program would have," she commented.

Whitneys Establish Scholarship Fund

Displaying one of her many talents, AFS'er Shela Shanks plays the violin in the LHS Orchestra. Shela 's home abroad will be in Brazil.

Shela Shanks, a junior at Lincoln High School, is spending the rest of her junior year and the first semester of her senior year as an American Field Service student in Brazil.

On Monday morning, January 31, Shela boarded a plane at Lincoln Municipal Airport\!lnd began the first leg of the long trip to h"r Latin America family's country. After an overnight stay in New York, Shela and other AFS'ers, who convened there, left for their respective countries.

While in Brazil, Shela will be a member of the Dr. Antonio Jesuino dos Santos Nettos family of Salvador, Brazil. Included in the family are a university-aged daughter, a 17-year-old daughter, and two boys youngt:r than Shela.

Shela was the first AFS student from Lincoln to receive a scholarship from the Gayle Whitney Memorial Scholarship Fund. This fund was established by Mr. and Mrs. Grant Whitney in memory of their 16-year-old daughter, Gayle Suzanne Whitney, a junior at Southeast High School, who was killed in an automobile accident December 31, 1971.

To honor the memory of their daughter, Gayle, who "was especially interested in the AFS (American Field Service) program, and (counted) among her friends several exchange students," the Grant Whitneys established a Memorial Scholarship Fund.

The Gayle Whitney fund is the first such scholarship program in Lincoln. Previously, money was raised to bring foreign students to Lincoln but never has a fund been set up to give financial assistance to Lincoln students traveling aborad.

'Open Season' on Bachelors Starts As Leap Year Opportunity Knocks

Attention! women's liberationists, this is your year-the one in which you may exercise a special right given to you through the leap year tradition.

Whatever modern day woman may read into this, basically it is simply the right to propose to the man of her choice.

This custom prevails only during leap year. Although this message may be a relief to some males, it also serves as a warning to women that they had better get on the ball.

The origin of this custom can be traced to a legend about St. Patrick and St. Bridget of Ireland.

During their time (the fourth century A.D.) it was not required that priests and nuns remain unmarried. Bridget, who headed a group of Sisters one day came....:1n tears-to St. Patrick. She told him of the unhappiness of her charges because of the belief that only men could take the initiative in proposing matrimony.

St. Patrick, feeling sorry for them, said that he would allow the women to propose during each seventh year.

Bridget, apparently a women's libber of her time, drove for an even better

gave her a kiss and a silken gown.

For years thereafter it was an unwritten law in Britain that a man who did not accept a woman's proposal during leap year had to pay a forfeit of a silken dress.

In 1288 A.D., Scotland passed a law which provided that every woman had the right to propose during leap year, and that if the man refused he had to pay her one pound (today worth only $2.80 but undoubtedly of more value at that time) unless he was already engaged. For an extremely homely girl, leap year proved to be quite profitable.

The woman participating in the tradition made her intent known by wearing a scarlet petticoat which hung an inch or so below her skirt.

Although leap year traditionally has been "open season" on bachelors, it has not significantly changed the normal marriage rate.

Seriously, though, leap year was not originated for the purpose of getting old maids hitched, but rather to offset the difference in length between the lunar year and a man-devised calendar.

This is achieved by providing for an extra day, February 29, usually, every four years which makes leap year 366 days in length as compared to the regular 365.

Leap year is any year exactly divisible by four (as 1972) except century years not exactly divisible by 400 (as 1900).

Leap year is well underway. So girls, speak up!

'Hair' Sets $ Record

Hair, presented earlier this month at Pershing Auditorium, brought in over $100,000 and drew an attendance of more than 15,400 people. It was the first play presented at Pershing ever to reach the six-figure mark in dollars. closer together." said a senior girl.

However to ease ·individual, the audience, and even-the entire town.

One Link felt the sound equipment was not adequate for the capacity of the auditorium, which made it hard to hear and understand what the cast was saying. She felt that Hair was a "satire on the problems in the American society, criticising them by exposing them."

A faculty member stated, "It was worthwhile money-wise, to the auditorium." Speaking of the controversy the musical caused she added, "I would rather be my own censor than have other people decide for me (as an educated adult) what is good or not good for me."

Certain opposition groups felt that Hair would place a black mark on Lincoln as a city. One student commented, "If Hair had not been brought to Lincoln, it would only prove this city to be one of the many narrow-minded cities around today. However, the hassle will make it easier for other 'supposedly' controversial plays to come to Lincoln."

What could four male student teachers from the University of N e braska possibly have in common?

The four in question-Jeff Hughes, Dave Mason, Tom McClelland, and Dick Rupert-have all shared the wonderful and unique experience of being members of "the best college football in the nat ion-not once, but twice!"

Jeff Hughes

an d ml Condtttoitfug is Jeff Hughes, pun er and flanker for the National Champion Co r n h usker football team. Jeff, 22, at tended B urlingto .n High School in Burlington Vermont.

Comparing the University of Nebraska to Lincoln High, Jeff feels that the free time given the university student and the open educational basis of the classes are two of the main differences.

"It's a great feeling to be part ot a team which has achieved the ultimate in college football," stated Jeff in regard to his participation in athletics. From his experiences, he feels that he has gained "the ability to take orders and get along with groups of individuals from different backgrounds."

David Mason

David Mason's teaching interests center around

mathematics and the Developmental Learning Program, which are the two areas, in which he is student teaching.

Although Dave has not yet made his appearance on Creature Feature, the position he played on the Nebraska football team was that of the Monster Man (defensive back). Dave feels that it is the dream of every high school and college football player to be a part of a national championship team, and for him, this dream has come true.

Columbus

Although all of Schomaker's points came in the first three quarters, Bob Folsom shouldered the scoring chores in the final period with l 0 of his 14 points coming in the last 8:02 of play.

The Lincoln High varsity basketball team scored a convincing upset over previously sixth- ranked Columbus at Johnson Gym, Friday, January 21. A big second quarter helped the Links on their way to the 67-52 conquest. Contributing to the Lincoln High cause by scoring in double figures were Bob Knollenberg and Steve Harris with

An over-all team effort sparked the Links to their fourth II and 10 points, respectively. win of the season against five defeats.

Top scoring from Bruce Schomaker and Steve Harris, with 18 and 17 points, respectively, combined with the rebounding of Mike Fultz and Harris, and the floor leadership of Bob Knollenberg gave the Links the win and the Number Eight ranking in the Journal-Star Top 10 ratings.

The 6'-2" Harris pulled down 14 rebounds to give Lincoln High a 40-33 edge in the rebound battle. As a team, Lincoln High shot an amazing 51 percent from the field.

Boys Town

A Links fourth-quarter ralley fell short as Boys Town's defense provedtoostiffforLincolnHighat Johnson Gym, Friday, January 28. The 57-51 verdict was an example of the stingy defense of Boys Town that has held its first II opponents to less than a 50-point per game average.

Ahead 28-26 at the half, the Links lead was halted when Boys Town went ahead 34-33 on a lay-in with 52 seconds left in the third quarter.

Led by Bob Folsom's seven fourth-quarter points, Lincoln High staged a comeback which saw it lower a 12-point spread to a five-point deficit, 52-47, with 51 seconds remaining.

Lincoln High received twin-figure scoring efforts from Folsom (15), Mike Fultz(l2), and Bruce Schomaker(lO).

The two-point first-half lead was aided by Fultz who, at one time in the first quarter, blocked two consecutive shots, rebounded a third, and passed the full length of the court to Folsom, who scored.

Grand Island

Lincoln High, on the road· for only the third time this season, finally got untracked in the second half to dump Grand Island, 74-53, on the Islanders home court Saturday, January 29.

Paced by the 24-point performance of senior Bruce Schomaker, the Links found the range in the third quarter after leading 40-33 at halftime.

Bob Folsom and Steve Harris, with 18 and lO pomts, respectively, contributed to the 17-8 third-quarter advantage which gave the Links a 57-41 lead and an opportunity for the entire varsity squad to see some action.

The win gave Lincoln High the Number Seven ranking in the Journal-Star Top 10.

Lincoln High came out the victor, 59-55, against a pesky Southeast basketball team at Pershing Auditorium Friday, February 4. Led by Bruce Schomaker's 18 points, Lincoln High rallied twice before taking the lead, 37-36, midway in the third quarter, never to trail again.

Mike Fultz dropped in a basket with eight seconds remaining to put the Links in final command, 59-53.

North Platte

For the second straight year, a Lincoln High School basketball team was able to break the 100-point scoring mark.

In a game played Saturday, February 5, at Johnson Gym, the Links trounced North Platte, 101-52.

Although the score is not a school record, it is the most an Alden Johnson-coached team has scored since he took over in 1959. (The Links team of 1908-09 is credited with an unbelievable 136-l win).

The score was not the only amazing thing about the game; the 61 percent field goal shooting by the Links was equally phenomenal.

Led by Bruce Schomaker's 27, all five starters scored in double figures. Bob Knollenberg provided 17 points, along with his leadership and fine defensive play. Others in double figures were Bob Folsom (16), Steve Harris (10), and Mike Fultz ( 10).

The Links hit on 41 of 67 shots for the entire game, but in the second half put through 24 of 31 shots for a 77 percent accuracy mark.

The impressive win left the Links in the Number Seven position in the Journal-Star Top 10.

Pius X

Lincoln High's varsity basketball team rolled to its e-ighth win of the season against rival Pius X at Pershing Auditorium, Friday, February 11. The game was decided early as the Links stormed to a l0-1 lead in the first 3:24 of play and went on to record a 69-48 final score.

With a 30-22 lead at halftime, the Links kept Pius from getting closer than eight points, 32-24, with seven minutes left in the third quarter.

M·aiority Prefers ·Assembly Option

Assemblies are one of the many functions at Lincoln High provided primarily for the student. They range in content from entertainment to information. A recent poll, conducted by the Assembly Committee was to determine the popularity of assemblies in general.

With 98 percent of the persons polled indicating they wanted assemblies continued, 74 percent felt the assemblies should be optional.

The majority felt that specific assemblies should be mandatory. These include the one at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, and those previewing school plays. Assemblies voted to be "optional'' were the sports awards and musical assemblies such as those which involve instrumental or vocal groups. Also listed as optional were Honors Convocation, National Honors Society, and the AFS presentation.

0 f the assemblies mentioned, there were none which the majority felt should receive a different type of recognition

According to the replies on the poll, if there IS an agreement to make some assemblies optional, there are a few difficulties that will be encountered. One of these problems would be finding a place or study area for those who do not wish to attend. It would also be necessary to provide teachers in these study halls to supervise

This would involve assigning to this job, teachers who have a planning period during the assembly hours. The added responSibility of supervising the students might restrict them from attending the assembly. Also, specific information would have to be given to the student concerning the content of the assembly so he would have a basis on which to decide whether or not he wished to attend.

Reaction to pep rallies was similar. The polls showed that 88 percent of the Links wanted pep rallies with 79 percent of the opinion that pep rallies should be optional. An overwhelming 91 percent were in favor of having at least one pep rally for the spring sports: golf, track, or baseball. The factors of making pep rallies optional or mandatory involves the same problems as non-required attendance at non-sports assemblies.

Some of the suggestions for improving the assemblies were: (I) having more and longer assemblies ; (2) changing the time to late afternoon, occasionally; (3) producing more assemblies in which the student is allowed to show his talent such as by skits or singing; ( 4) letting the student know what a future assembly is going to include; and (5) letting the audience be more involved, as in the Archie Moore assembly held two years ago.

The theme for this year's show, A Night of Fantasy, is accented by such acts as "Sleeping Beauty," "Babes in Toyland," "The Wizard of Oz," and "Peter Pan."

A great deal of work goes into the finished production. In addition to the practices (some lasting

from-2:30-10:00 p.m.), long hours are also spent on costume and scenery.

The program includes 13 individual acts and the finale, in which all members take part Each act has to be written and choreographed, which means that stunts have to be performed in time to selected music.

Tickets are on sale from any Aqualink member for 75 cents.

It's time to prepare acts for tryouts for Joy Night /9 72. to be presented April 14 and IS , 7 : 30p.m ., in the lincoln High School Auditorium.

At its organizational meeting the Joy Night Central Committee decided that this year there will be no predominant theme. This will eliminate rejection of good acts because their material is not relevant to the theme.

Mrs. Beth Westcott. Joy Night sponsor, said, "We hope that this will encourage a greater variety of skits, readings, gymnastic exhibitions, and other variety acts for tryouts."

All acts except for the annual faculty act) will go through competitive tryouts. The Central Committee believes that this will give all the participants incentive to work a little harder to present the best possible show.

Emcee tryouts will be held Monday, March 20, and act tryouts will be held March 23 and 24, unless otherwise announced Those who are interested are urged to get information and tryout blanks in Room 228.

The Committee urges that those who plan to participate should start working now in order to be ready for tryouts.

Scholars Win Regents Honors

Joyce Oberg, and Jeff Swing were recently notified that they are winners in the

University of Nebraska Regents examination.

The five Lincoln High

School students were among the 101 top scores in a field of some 4,000 high school seniors who completed the test.

They have earned fu 11-tuition, four-year scho Iars hips to the University of Nebraska if they choose to attend.

Lincoln High's Joyce Oberg, who ranked as one of the top scorers, was selected as one of the 10 members on the All-State Scholastic team Steve Forde and Jeff Swing were selected to the alternate scholastic team.

This is the tenth year in the Regents program in which top scorers have been granted four-year scholarships.

Practice, practice, and more practice is essential in producing an Aqualink's show. The mermaids wait to enter the water to practice the finale (top left). The difficulty of keeping in time is practiced as the

With the coming ol spring and warmer weather Lincoln High students can expect to see some progress toward the completion of the Centennial Mall, which will beautify the space between the school and the oval.

According to Mr William Bogar, principal, the "plans have been developed and the contract has been drawn up As soon as the frost is out of the ground, cement work and construction of retaining walls will get under way. Placement of trees and plants will be done following the completion of the cement work."

An ecological garden of labeled native Nebraskan shrubs and plants is being planned for the south end of the Mall. In addition to

M being decorative, the garden will provide a place for future classes to meet out-of-doors.

A five-ton boulder, temporarily situated on the front campus, but to be placed in the Mall as a centennial marker, will be identified by a plaque which was a gift to Lincoln High School by the Board of Education.

Mr. Bogar hopes that student enthusiasm for the Mall project will prompt active participation in a program for its dedication, hopefully to take place on Arbor Day. Clubs such as COCEP are urged to consider their roles in such a program The Mall is expected to be completed by April.

Neatness

Counts

Be yourself Loo k yourself. Look natural.

These days almost every girl is "in to natura ln ess." Products labeled "basic," "organic," "from nature," capture the eye of many a "natural-minded" girl. Make-up is subtle and hairstyles and clothes free- spirited.

This is great. But some people are mistaking sloppiness for naturalness. A girl may don faded jeans and an old work shirt feeling herself to be free spirited, but more often to the observer she looks as if she just came from cleaning the barn.

In some cases the natural look is more than unsightly, it's unbearable. It's a ridiculous game to dress for the opposite sex and one can agree-to a point. However, it's just as ridiculous for a girl to dress in a way that hides or detracts from her charm. That's what seems to be a bit unnatural.

A pair of jeans is comfortable and many girls loo k good in them because they take the time to dress neatly. But for those who don't, it may discourage others to wear them.

They way a girl feel about herself is reflected in the way she dresses. Every girl should consider this before she climbs into her over-alls and goes clomping of f to sch ool.

Why Bother?

In regard to the selection of the Joy Night Central Committee: why did they even bother to send me a copy of the list for this year's members? I would have been better off if I hadn't applied, seeing as how I didn't have a chance competing with experienced personnel in the Drama Department. I thought the rule was that aU applicants had an equal chance of being chosen.

Wlmt is Joy Night supposed to be, anyway? A variety show where students (like me) who would otherwise n o t have a chance to perform on the Lincoln High stage can ha ve fun displaying their talents, or a top-rate dramatic performance with little room for anyone but experienced actors?

I feel that the drama students at Lincoln High have had ample opportunities to make use of and display their talents in all the productions that have ta ken place so far this year. Isn't it about time to give us amateurs a chance? Piqued

The time: between 1:30 and 2:30; you are anxious to get home. You go to your locker, then to the parking lot only to find your car is - trapped!

Some unconcerned student who thinks that the rules are for everyone but hi mself has parked-the third car beyond the ye llow lines marking the stalls.

After 10 minutes of muscle strain and sweat, maneuvering a car wit hout power steering and moving two inches at a time, yo u are, at long last, able to squeeze your auto out.

Though the situation has been agaravating for some time, conditions are now growing intolerable.

Why some students should be permitted to illegally park - encroaching upon the rights of others-and get away with it is beyond comprehension.

What exactly are the rules governing the parkinj lots? Who are the authorities responsible for enforcing these rules? Where are the a u thorities at a time like this? Why aren't they doing t he jo b ?

T he offending cars n eed to be ticketed or towed away if ti cket s pr ove ineffec tive. The violators need to know they ca n ' t and wo n ' t b e per mitted to get away with such inse nsitive acti ons.

Though they may n ot know it, or don't care, these neglectful people are arousing aggressive attitudes in the minds of those wh o do follow the rules, a state of mind that in itself may create traffic hazards.

Who do they think they are anyway? Why don't they think the rules are for them, too?

Feeling is running high. This is evidenced in discussions around the school plus other letters to the Free Press on this matter.

This matter of the illegal parker must be attended to immediately. Perhaps this would be a worthwhile topic of disc118Bion for the Student Affairs Committee. However, don't stop with discussion; we want to see some action!

Unfortunately, not all who dream are good marriage prospects. Many do not realize the commitment they make when they marry.

Sadly enough, divorce is on the increase in the United States. To pinpoint the The Advocate is publishing a feature in this issue showing the alarming trend.

It is estimated that by 1990, electric power demands will quadruple During the intervening time , population will in crease steadily, and more land will be irrevocably seized for housing, school , industry, roads, and the business community.

But people are beginning to realize that for every aae that is sealed into a parkins lot, that same acre permanently loses its ecological contribution as a farm f"teld, or part of a woods, or some undisturbed area. Ecology has become a potent political force, both nationally and locally.

It is obvious that unless people want to reduce their standard of living, increase in production of power and continued construction on new land is inevitable. However, people must also realize that reckless expansion will lead to ecological disaster.

Industry has always been wooed by small towns and large cities alike. Industry would "always lower the tax rate and bring new jobs for the Honor convocations are a waste of time-especially for unemployed of the town " But, somehow, industry the people not being honored! has a habit of making the rivers foul, and releasing

Since the only people interested in the convocation are the parents of the honorees and a handful of students, why not have a single assembly only for honored students and their parents, with an interesting and well-informed speaker? Instead of wasting a lot of time parading kids across the stage, it would be better to just have the students in each class stand and be recognized as a group. The time saved could be better used for a more worthwhile program or simply to shorten the often tediously long proceedings.

I personally would like to see honor roll abolished, but since it is a rather well established "tradition" and some people really do enjoy it, let's just modify it to make it more bearable for everyone concerned

But the fact remains that along with benefits, industry brings problems, often more than advantages.

However, an opposition group did appear-very small, at first, but determined. Called Save Our Community (SOC) it gathered its forces for a public zoning hearing.

The statement Northeastern made about the chief emissions from the refinery being carbon dioxide and water was refuted by chemists who said that other byproducts were inevitable.

Paper Recycng Prolect Needs Your ooperaton

Lincoln High’s ecology club, COCEP (Committee On o mba I ting Environmental Pollution), is continuing its campaigning among students and faculty of the school to collect used paper products for recycling.

In every classroom, with the respective teacher’s permission, there is a cardboard box marked “Paper for COCEP.” Any type of uncrumpled, used paper may be put in these boxes. Students are also urged to bring newspapers and paper sacks from home.

The boxes are cleared wee.;iy by members of CO Of’s, The saner is stored at a collection site within the school until enough has accumulated to transfer to the Dennis Paper Sales, a rincoln firm which has the tc’:iles for the recycling of used paper cod ucts.

The five top students in the 1972 Lincoln High School graduating class together with the principal, Mr. William Bogar, attended a Sertoma Club luncheon, Thursday, February 17.

Honoring outstanding students attending Lincoln high schools was a part of the activities of the week, designated as “Freedom Week” by the club.

The honored students, who are in the upper one percent of the class, include, alphabetically, Musa Bish, Steven Forde, Jeannine Green, Sally Holtzclaw, and Joyce Oberg. Susan Lind, who ranks sixth, attended in the place of Musa who was unable to accept.

ut how long will it really last?

Accortling to the 1970 Statistical Report of the Bureau of Vital Statistics, State Department of Health, Lincoln, Nebraska, 15,666 marriages were performed during this year. With 3,629 divorces granted during this time, an average of one in every five marriages failed. This was a 1.4 percent increase over 1969.

Of all divorces, 81 .8 percent were granted to the wife: the leading cause was cruelty.

The charge of cruelty probably evokes the thought of the husband beating his wife; however, physical cruelty is not the reason most dis’orcec are granted. Mental cruelty is the reason for dis’orce in the greatest percentage of cases.

The term “mental cruelty” covers a wide range of complaints. Believe it or not, reasons such as a husband not complimenting a wife, or a husband who smokes when his wife despises it are grounds for divorce.

However, the real reason behind these picky little things is that the couples find they no longer and perhaps never were completely in love with each other. They may have the American concept ‘of niarriage which theyl acquired from such story-book marriages as Love Story and Romeo and Juliet.

Or, after a few years, couples may find they don’t like the everyday routine of marriage. Often in the humdrum of everyday living, the relationship grows dull or tiring.

The marriages involved in over 54 percent of the divorces granted has lasted six or fewer years. Before marriage, these couples had known each other only for a year or less in 51 percent of the divorces granted had these, 48 percent were less than age 21 when they married.

Kletchka proved his Varsity potential by leading the Reserves in both scoring and rebounding. The 6'-1" sophomore collected a total of 146 points and amassed 114 rebound while playing in all 16 Reserve games.

The 14.7 points-per-game average by junior Dana Kinnan proved to be the best scoring average on the team; Kinnan played in only the first six Reserve games before being moved up to the varsity squad.

Most of the backcourt leadership this year was provided by junior guards Ron Love and Rick Cutshall, with 8.1 and 6.3 scoring averages, respectively.

Along with Kletchka, juniors Chan Dutton and Charles Baldwin proved the junior Links rebounding prowess, with Dutton grabbing 6.3 rebounds a game and Baldwin coming off with 5.5 rebounds per contest.

THE ADVOCATE

Not 'Theme Oriented' . . .

Joy Night Promises Variety

Have you ever ended up with two dates in one evening two dates in one minute, or two dates to M.C. one show? This problem faces this year's master of cermonies, Jim Hahn and his two lovely dates for the evening, Barb Brauer and Rita Kumm. Joy Night, which will be on stage April 14 and 15, made its debut on the Lincoln High School stage in I 9 2 4, with the production of Joy Breezes, which was at that time sponsored by Student Council. But in 1953, it retired from "show biz" and was turned over to a central committee made up of faculty members and students. The committee was set uo to choose a theme, help conduct try outs, and make the final selections of acts that made up the show. A few of the most remembered themes are World's Fair, 1933; Dude Ranch, 1940; Joy Night on the Air, 1950; KLHS TV, 1962; LaUKh-Out. 1969; and of course last year's theme, Century Showcase.

This year the Joy Night Central Committee, after careful consideration of various themes, decided that instead of confining acts to

perform within a theme, this year's production should be a show consisting of all types of variety instead ot' being "theme oriented."

Mrs. Beth Westcott, drama coach and over-all chairman of the show, noted that Joy Night will be an unusual and exciting one. Although the final selection of acts has not been made, the act applications consist of such acts as karate, h umor, satire, mime, tumbling, besides the musical groups that are trying out. Changes in the technical background with the use of strobe and black lights will add depth and variety to the show. Of course, Joy Night would not be complete without the "traditional" faculty act, which never ceases to amaze the audience.

The committee has also changed "tradition" a little by adding new rules. Now all acts must try out, with the exception of the faculty act. Also in past years the central committee was made up of the different crew chairmen. This year they are not on the committee but work closely with its members.

A 11 productions must

have participants to get the show off the ground, but a show could not develop into its final stages without the "invaluable dedication" of the different crews. The shifting crews are "behind the scene" to facilitate a quiet flow from one act to the other. Approximately six will be back stage plus the stage manager. Lighting and sound will concentrate on working with sound effects, supplying mikes and backgrou nd music for individual acts. Lighting will maintain the mood of the show. The publicity crew advertises the show with the use of posters and also works with the central committee, putting the program together.

Rehearsals will be April 11-13 at 3:30 p.m. in the auditorium. All acts, after the final selections have been made, should sign up on the call board in Room 228 and make plans to rehearse twice on stage before the group rehearsals take place.

So students of Lincoln High, this is your chance to support and participate in the 1972 production of Joy Night. Even if your act didn't make it show your support with your attendance and enthusiasm.

and surprised."

LaRdis' initial reaction was that of shock. His friends found out about his

selection before he did. Landis said he "went to the library and read about my selection in the newspaper." A confirming letter awaited him on his arrival home.

Rahl Rah! Rahl Cheer Clinics Underway

The agomzmg cries of ''0 h no-not another flight of stairs!" and "My legs are KILLING me!" are once again a familiar cry among junior girls, as cheerleading clinics have begun.

The purpose of these clinics is to teach cheers and jumps to the many would-be cheerleaders.

According to Patti T orgler, C heer1eader President, approximately 30 girls are expected to try out.

From these girls the 10-12 1972-73 Varsity Cheerleaders will be chosen.

General tryouts will be held April 6 and finals will be held the following night.

"Walk together, talk together all ye peoples of the earth, then, and only then, shall ye have peace. "

This motto has been the words of many AFSer's, all who hope it will prove to be true someday.

Recently, the AFS (American Field Service) State Convention broupt 30 foreian exchange students from all over Nebraska to Lincoln. The annual convention began Thur!lday, March 16, when AFS and ICYE (International Christian Youth Exchange) students traveled from their American homes, to spend two exciting days meeting each other.

High school students from Liwho have participated in the AFS Prog. \ organized an" paid for all activities of the convention These returnees contacted high school students to be hosts for the foreign students during their stay in Lincoln.

During the two days of activities, the members of the group were given a tour of Nebraska's State Captiol; went roller-skating; went to Pioneers Park, played all sorts of games and had a picnic lunch. The students had a pot-luck dinner in which each AFSer brought a dessert to be auctioned off. $50.85 was raised by the auction and goes towards the AFS fund

The foreign exchange students also were given a party. They each learned how to

square dance, everyone sang and talked together, and they staged a talent show in which the students could do anything they wanted to do.

The AFSers were also given time to be in discussion groups. Problems and sugestions were raised in discussing the AFS Program. Many of the foreign students believed that there was too much emphasis on students staying in school. They felt that attending a special, worthwhile, educational event was just as important as one day of school. The students also suggested that the AFS Program should offer the opportunity of service jobs, such as social work, during their stay in a different country. The male foreian students agreed it was hard to date in this country since they cannot drive cars.

Barb Brauer, an AFS returnee and one of the main organizers of the annual event, said, "It was a wonderful experience. All of the AFS kids were willing to talk and they learned a lot from each other. All of the students liked the convention, especially the AFSers who live in small towns and have little contact with other forl'Qtll students."

Barb also said, "AU AFS :1n.l I would like to thank the peopk al High that hosted students."

Editorial Comment

Life! Individuality Not Conformity

You don’t have time? Take it, for this may be the most important moment in your life.

How long has it been since you have examined your life, the course it has taken, and the direction it is going?

Living should be meaningful, not mere existence, meaningful to you—an individual. Individuality is your most valuable possession, which should not be taken for granted.

In the world today, conformity is more of a personal threat than communism. Falling into the pattern of others can spread widely, undetected until it is so powerful there is no escape..

There is that person who looks on society as a sort of Mafia, which is always judging his moves, waiting for the least show of abnormal activity. Then as the Mafia takes “care” of this kind of person, society closes in on the nonconformist, expressing disapproval of his activities.

This fear of society has caused the trend to mass conformity. People blindly follow one another for fear of being labeled “different.”

A large number of students are attending college, nor because they want to, but rather because parents and others have convinced them that it is their duty.

This country may well be in great danger if conformity gains a stronger hold. This country was built by those who had the courage to break away from the group. It will only survive if individualism continues to flourish.

Although the pioneer spirit is no longer necessary, new ideas are vital for the perpetuation of many aspects of life. Art, literature, and science would perish in a world of followers in the place of thinkers.

Imagine publishing a newspaper in a world which was composed only of the activities of passive persons contented with their lives. It would inevitably make for dull reading.

Today one should question that which already exists. He should find out its worth and meaning—see how things can be changed to be more relevant to the age.

To be satisfied with just living is not living. Living must be active, and to be involved in it one must actively participate.

Examining your life siyie now may be gnilicantly important to you later—unless you wish to grow old, only to find you have never really been living and that the most important years of your life have been thoughtlessly wasted.

Priorities-In Balance?

Cheerleaders—exactly what is their role, and why do so many girls want to be cheerleaders? For some girls, becoming a cheerleader seems to be the “neatest” thing, a way to be in the spotlight of attention. Other girls are sincere about cheerleading and really want to work at raising school spirit.

With cheerleading clinics underway, a person notices all sorts of girls practicing, hoping to be one of the mighty eleven chosen. But why? Do these girls realize how much work is involved? All summer long it is practice, practice, and more practice. Not only must she contribute all her extra time, but a fair amount of money: uniforms, shoes, megaphones, and pom-pons cost money.

Being a cheerleader involves two to three nights of practice a week during the school year, besides planning pep rallies, cheering at all basketball and

football games, and having to attend a certain number of other athletic events.

Being a cheerleader is a unique experience and a wonderful opportunity to meet students from other schools.

The public look upon cheerleaders as representatives of their respective schools, and they will be judged upon their conduct. Since cheerleaders are always on public display, it is sometimes necessary for them to mask their true emotions.

All hopefuls for the role of cheerleaders, take time and really ask yourself if you are willing to give as much time as is needed to be a successful cheerleader. Realize that being a cheerleader is not for the glory or recognition of being on display; Lincoln High needs cheerleaders who will work to strike up interest and spirit among the school body.

What constitutes a balance between athletics and academic activities? How can somebody measure the emphasis that a school places on its priorities?

The purpose of the school and all related activities is education, and there are many ways in which this can be accomplished. One of these ways is athletics.

But there are other activities that represent Lincoln High School, yet receive almost no financial assistance. Examples of these are the speech contests.

It cannot be argued that any sport is of more educational value than the writing and presenting of a speech, or presenting interpretation of prose or poetry. Yet the group that competes in these events must subsist on a fee of $100 annually, provided by the school.

Th9t dnesn’t go vrv far when there are over 20 students participating over theyear in about four different contests. Most of the time it merely provides for the entry fees of the contestants, with perhaps a little left to pay for the gas of the students’ cars.

On March 8, a Wednesday, we entered the office at 12:35. We had excuses from our parents and had informed our fifth and sixth period teachers that we would be absent, so we could go to East Campus and hear Jerry Rubin speak. We went behind the office counter, but we heard our assistant principal send some girl back to class who was also going to hear Rubin. She said, “This is not for you; this is for college students.” Since that statement was made it has been found out that the girl was a habitual skipper, but a vast majority of students who left for the basketball tournament didn’t have the best attendance records either. The point of the matter is that the statement was made, that if the girl had just put “basketball” in her excuse instead of something educational, she could have gone anywhere. In this school all you need to do is mention the “magic word” sports and you’ve got what you want but without any credit.

We just left the office and went to hear Rubin. Neither our 5th or 6th period teachers turned us in, but we were still on the unexcused absence list.

Why, when lincoln High has absolutely nothing to do with the basketball tournaments, can anyone with an excuse go to see them? Someone in the office should say, “This is not for you, it is for other high school students.” Very few of the students who leave to go to the games actually pay attention to them. But they, too, got unexcused absences.

Shouldn’t anyone with a reasonable excuse be able to get out of class with no credit, instead of being directed where the administration’s finger points?

In his speech Jerry Rubin said something is drastically wrong with the American Education System. He really has a good point, especially in a “sports oriented school.”

Open Minded

Not Just Drama Dept.

In Answer to “Why Bother?”

Dear Piqued—

To answer your first complaint: five out of the nine student members of Joy Night Central Committee have never been involved in a drama production at Lincoln High.

Now then, Joy Night is what the act participants make it, so come to tryouts and “show off.” Make Joy Night your production.

What is the purpose of the school credit system? Who has the right to decide what is a legitimate excuse for absence? Unless a test is given or an assignment is due, few teachers penalize a student for an unexcused absence.

When there is a sporting event to be held during school time, a student must bring a note from home to be excused from school. This entitles him to legally sign out in the office with no credit, missing just a half day of school. Yet the student who stays home the entire day under pretense of being ill receives full credit.

The old cliche that “honest is the best policy” obviously does not apply in this case. The honest student comes out short by failing to receive credit, while the person who lies is on the receiving end of the credit deal.

Why can’t the students who sign out and actually attend the scheduled events receive partial or full credit? An attendance check could be taken at the event to insure an accurate list of attendance. Those who fail to show up at the event and who sneak out could have further such privileges revoked.

Sporting events are a part of school life. Students who participate in sports are usually glad to see that their fellow students show enough

Juniors Nominated for Awards

15th Annual NCTE Offers Recognition

1972 marks the fifteenth consecutive year that NCfE (National Council of Teachers of English) has been offering awards in recognition of some of the best high school English students in the United States. Winners and runners-up receive no cash for their entries, but their names are sent to directors of admissions and English department chairmen in 2700 colleges, junior colleges, and universities with the recommendation that the students be considered for appropriate scholarships, as well as admission with advanced standing.

The number of awards for each state is proportionate to the state's population; a maximum of 438 award winners and 438 runners-up will be selected. Since lincoln High has an enrollment between 1500 and 1999 students, they are allowed to nominate four juniors. The nominees representing Lincoln High are Russ Harris, Mark Helzer Kim Hobson and Adam levine. They were chosen on the basis of written materials submitted to a committee of judges made up of students, teachers, and a cadet teacher.

Materials that need to be sent to the state chairman are ( 1) an impromptu theme by each nominee, (2) an autobiography by each

Don't Let Shoplifting Be Your Bag!

What is it that compels respectable, middle-class people to steal, by shoplifting, more than one-half billion dollars worth of goods per year? Merchants agree that the problem is becoming increasingly intense as more and more people shoplift each year.

The reasons they steal go deeper than the immediate compulsion to possess something new or the excitement of getting something for nothing. Studies in psychology show that these people are basically insecure and they feel a need to "prove themselves." It makes them feel important and powerful to outwit authorities by performing new methods of shoplifting Most people who shoplift don't actually need to from the financial standpoint; they do it for kicks and because they possess a pt:rsistc nt, abnormal impulse to steal, a disorder known as kleptomania.

Methods vary from bulky coats fitted with pocketed linings, to boxes appearing as packages, with one end open to insert items.

In the July 12, 1971, issue of Newsweek, John Steiner sociology professor at Sonoma State College m states that most people who shoplift are middle-class, between the ages of 18 and 35.

The senousness of this problem is rapidly increasing Stores everywhere are attempting to enforce a more rigid watch to catch stealers. For example, a J.C. Penny's store in California has had to close its doors because -of losses due to shoplifting.

In Nebraska, shoplifting is classified as a with the extent decided upon by the court. The fme can be up to $500. Theft over $100! or a second could be judged a felony, which is pumshable by resJdence m a penal institution

Professor Steiner went on to explain tag-switching, which he describes as "an amateur middle-class version of shoplifting."

The tag switcher runs little risk of arrest; it is nearly impossible to prove someone switched tags unless the act itself was observed.

However, says Steiner, most people get tired of all that is involved in switching process, and they merely walk out with the items. In this way, price switching can lead to more serious actions with court action and punishment.

The Dennison Manufacturing Company has been working on the problem for quite a while They have come up with "Swiftach," which is a three-inch plastic string with barbed ends that is literally shot through the price tag and garment. This convenient invention must be cut off and cannot be re-attached to another garment

Another aid is a machine that bends the pin as it attaches the tag to the item. The customer breaks a fingernail removing the pin and the pin can't be replaced easily

At Alexander's a New York-based department store chain the clerks a;e aw· ded one dollar for each switched tag or concealed item .hey expose During the first three months of 1971, Alexander's awarded $12,000 to alert clerks

Those who steal may think that they are getting by with something, but it will catch up with them eventually Shoplifting is expensive for the consumer because merchants must compensate pricewise for stolen goods. For those who steal because prices are too high, they should realize that the prices are high because they do steal!

Certificates will be awarded to the finalists in October, 1972, and all the English departments with finalists will receive a certificate of recognition.

District Qualifiers Prepare for State

Nine Lincoln High School students, entered in six events, will be challenging for state championships in speech events as a result of qualifying in the district speech tournament held March 18, at the Beatrice High School. In all, fourteen students were entered in 10 different events.

To qualify for the state championship, which will be at Doane College, April 29, a rating of superior or excellent was required. Students receiving superior ratings were Landis Magnuson, interpretative public address; Mary Raymer, poetry; Jeff Swing, informative public address; Chan Taylor, original oratory; Bob Thurber, prose; and a cutting from Spoon River Anthology, with Russ Harris, Pam Kitzmiller, Landis Magnuson, Jo Schrader, and Bob Thurber serving as readers. All of these students qualified for the state tournament.

Other superior and excellent ratings were received in events that are not a part of the state contest. The one-act play, "Not Enough Rope," by Elaine May, with Kathy Babcock, Mary Raymer, and George Shaner, received a superior rating. Harold Johnson got a superior in discussion, and Jim Raymond had an excellent in discussion.

In addition, Chan Dutton received a rating of good in extemporaneous speaking, and George Shaner got a good in TV commentary.

"Not Enough Rope" was directed by Mr. Greg Grafft, student teacher for Mrs. Beth Westcott, speech and drama instructor. The entire play, from casting to performance, was completed in only ten days. Bob Downs operated the lights for the play, and Jim Hahn, Mary Martin, Beth Minard, and Linda Schaaf served as stage crew.

Each fall students have the opportunity to join JA and organize a company. A company, made up of approximately 20 students, is financed through the sale of shares of stocks at $1.00 each. At the end of the year the JA companies liquidate their businesses and issue stockholder reports. Usually, between 75 and 80 percent of the companies sell their stocks at a profit. Next year the Junior Achievement program is hoping to expand to 22 companies with new business fields in television, radio, newspaper, and insurance companies.

New Conference Formed; Starts•74- 175 School Year

The Lincoln Board of Education gave approval to a new athletic conference which will involve the four Lincoln public high schools, Beatrice, Millard, Papillion, and Ralston. It will begin full-round competition in the 1974-75 school year.

Lincoln High athletic director, Jim Sommers, said, '"This does not mean the end of the Trans-Nebraska Conference. In football, the Trans requires only 'l league games to qualify for • conference championship.

"Since the three intra-city games would count towards the standings in both leagues," he explained, "a Lincoln school can play two outside members in the Trans and the other four schools in the new league and still stay within the nine-game limit "

The new conference will require full participation and will eliminate the open date to continue competition with Class B Pius X. Other factors will be the expansion of the new conference to ten teams. Bellevue and Omaha Westside, currently members of the Metropolitan Conference have also been invited to charter members of the new league. They have until July 1 to accept or reject the offer

According to Bill Miller, athletic director at Lincoln Southeast, '"The new league has come aoout because of the desire of Omaha area schools and the Lincoln teams for competition with one another. The Metro Conference has gotten so big the others Papillion, and Ralston) m that area have been shut out," he explained.

both diving spots on the team, with Marc Stiner and Dave Watermeier being picked All-City. Other All-City swim team picks from Lincoln High were:

LeBaron Bruce Schomaker, Mike Fultz, and Bob Knollenberg represented the Links basketball team as All-City basketball selections Schomaker, the only Links first-team pick, was one of only two seniors on the mythical squad. This past season's scoring leader, though standing only 6', also proved his rebounding ability at many times during the season. Fultz, a junior, and Knollenberg, a senior, were close behind in the All-City balloting for the first team. Schomaker and Fultz also received AU-state honorable mention Tino Orta , state wrestling champ in the 119-pound class, was joined by teammates Allan Lyons and Jerry Bockoven on the All-City wrestling squad. Orta topped off his 20-1 season when he swept to the State Championship in his weight class. Bockoven, a heavyweight, was the third-place finisher at the State meet, and Lyons, in the 155-pound weight class finished second in the district meet. '

Intramural Softball Scheduled To Begin

All students interested in playing in this year's league should turn their teams fu to Mr Terry within the next three or four weeks. If a student is interested in playing, yet is not on a team, he should turn his name in to Mr. Terry, who will in turn place the student on a team.

Intramural weightlifting and open gym are being offered in the month of April.

Volleyball, ping pong, and badminton are now being played The city championships in these three sports will be held the first part of April Places are still open on the teams to be competing in the city meet Anyone interested in playing should contact Mr. Terry

Missing cushions and slice marks are only a small portion of the vandalism that has occurred in the student lounge

Lounge Damage

C:reates Problems

About 15 years ago a gr o up of inspired students at Lincoln High decided they needed a place which they could call their own. They wanted some spot where they could gather with friends , study, or get a bite to eat after school.

Two pro ble ms con fron ted t hem, where (to get an available area) and ho w (m o ney coul d be raised).

The only place large and suitable enough was the old girls gym which a t that time was not used either for sport events or physical edu ca t ion

After obtaining formal administrati ve per mission to ;onvert the old gym, the student body, t hrough its clubs rnd individual efforts took every opportunity such as elling concessions, to·make money for the effort.

Student enthusiasm was at an all-time high With the aid >f the boys in the woodworking classes, wall paneling was i!lstalled. A 25 -year-old juke box was repaired by members >f the radio cl ass and added to the 12 5 pieces of furniture llready in service.

That was t h en, but now is n o w But with privilege comes :ontempt. The lo unge is apparently no longer a source of tride. Pro blems have arisen since the ti me students were villing to work for want they wanted Today students take or granted their privileges to use the lounge. - Cushions in the booths as well as chairs have been lashed and ripped apart. The juke box was taken out so me ime ago because some person poured a chocola t e malt trrough the coin-drop slot.

If students of Lincoln High do no t take the init iative to elp stop the vandalism in the lounge, steps may have to be iken to correct the conduct. It may, if the situation get •orse, result in the closing of the lounge. Students wou ld 1en have to meet in the halls and would not be able to 1tisfy the mid-morning hunger call. It is not fair for the ·hole student body to be punished just for the few who are ndangering our privileges. It is the duty of each student as a individual and a good citizen to prevent this from appening. Think about it!

Unless you're willing to work . Summer Jobs Few, Hard To Find

As summer is drawing near, many teens are going through the tedious process of trying to find a summer job.

This is a difficult time to seek employment. "I'm sorry-that position has been filled" and "Come back in June-we won't know how many open1ngs we have until then" are but two of the frequent replies given to job applicants To the teen who wants the security of knowing he has a summer job lined up, this is not a welcome reply.

In Lincoln, as well as other cities, there are far more applicants than there are actual jobs. This gives the employer a definite advantage. He can auor<l to be picky when selecting from a wide range of applications.

There are many ways to look for a job. The first step

might be to apply at local businesses with whom you are familiar; another possibility is to follow-up the "help wanted " ads in the newspaper.

If you cannot seem to find a job on your own, there are agencies that are available to help you:

The Youth Employment Service, YES, and the Nebraska State Employment Service (which offers service to all, without regard to race, color, creed, national origin, or sex).

In an agency, qualified counselors interview the job seeker to help him determine his aptitudes and abilities Also, for those who are attempting to get a job for the first time, or are considering a change to a

different field of work, an aptitude testing prolfllrn is available.

Testinc enables the job counselors to determine the applicant who has a potential in certain areas, and to help him select training or jobs in these fields. The main goal of this agency is to bring the right job and the right applicant together.

Professional employment agencies might be a solution for those looking for a full-time, year-round job. Here, they have a wide knowledge of available jobs, and often have salary figures listed

The only drawback is that most professional agencies charge some sort of a handling fee. These agencies are listed in the telephone directory.

Often, when applying for a job, the application that you fill out may be the deciding factor of whether you are hired or turned down, interviewed, or ignored.

When applyina for a job that you feel qualified for, do not hesitate to build yourself up and make known your abilities. No one else will do it for you. On the other hand, if you are not particularly qualified, do not lead someone to believe otherwise. You could find yourself in a job where more is expected of you than you can handle

If you are not looking for a job right now, or cannot find one, the best long-range planning you can do is to STAY IN SCHOOL.

Student's Individual Duty: To Protect His

Lincoln High is fmally "catching up" to all those

Lincoln High is part way along thi s t rail schools in the bigger cities Yes, if we are lucky, Cushions have been slashed, and other d amage Lincol n High will soon become one of those "in" done to the lounge, along with the loss of several schools that have guards in the halls, bars on t he

students' money through thefts. windows, locked doors during classes, few, if any, extracurricular activities, and basketball and football games from which specta t ors are banned.

All o f these fringe benefits are what migh t happen if vandalism and o t her allegedly "hannless" acts continue. At Lincoln High School, the is a symbol of the relative freedom that we do enjoy here With few restrictions, people can sit in there at most times, talk, eat, buy things, or study.

In many schools, such a facility would be impossible to maintain Patrolling the area would be essential at all times, and even then, cushions would continue to be slashed, fights would become commonplace, and decorations would be stripped.

Lincoln High stude nts have t o decide wh ether they want to con tin ue on this road , lea din g to mo re vandalis m and less freed oms, or t o try t o maintain the atmosp here that i t can have, where stu den t s are free t o enjoy the facili t ies tha t are available and where they don't have to be unduly concerned about their possessions.

Maybe Lincoln High will never get as bad as some of the worst inner-city schools, where teachers and students have been stabbed in the halls. And perhaps some of you are saying, "We don't have many freedoms now." If those are your thoughts, imagine what the school would be like if the freedoms that you do enjoy were curtailed

Youth Are Ready for Responsibility

To many seniors this is a big year, not only because of graduation but also in that this is a presidential election year. This will mark the first time in history that all persons as young as 18 have had the special privilege of voting.

American youths declare they are ready for this responsibility, but with it they should realize their obligation All the way from the national scene down to the local, it is important that they know who the candidates are and what they stand for. Voting, although it is not mandatory, is important Many people today are disillusioned by politician's promises that fail to materialize. This

has caused a reactionary feeling in many of today's youth and young adults, wherein they do not wish to exercise their voting rights. This is understandable because for so many years politicians have told half truths or remained silent before the American public. Our doubt, however, should not allow us to be deterred. Somewhere, amidst the candidates, is someone best suited for the job. We must find him and pick him out by voting for him.

Everyone looks for a good future, so do your active part to achieve it The future is only as good as those you choose to direct it.

! important enough difficulties to override the benefits the students would receive from such a program

Eighteen-year-olds in America are still being faced with a deci sion which no society with more than a very thin veneer of civilization would force upon its members The draft is st ill very much alive and doing well

T he decision itself boils down to nothing more than a choice between morality and depravity, between life and death. We've all seen and chuckled at posters claiming that "Uncle Sam wants YOU," but the unpleasant truth is that Uncle Sam's desires haven't changed He still wants red-blooded American boys to learn the arts of murder so that they can become accomplices to his war crimes and atrocities in Vietnam. And, as we all know, he is not below using coercion to get cooperation.

T he crying shame is that the men from Washington have done so expert a snow job that almost no one has been able to see throuJili it. The fact is that the draft system is not only. morally bankrup t but unconstitutional as well. It is less than an assertion by our government that the lives of young men in this country belong not to those young men, but are property of the State. In essence it is slavery of the most insidious sort. '

Sighs of relief go up on all sides as it is anticipated that the draft will be dropped after the current law expires in 1973. But there is no certainty that such will be the case. T he number of volunteers for the army, upon which the whole matter depends, is dropping off, and if conservation sweeps congress at the wrong moment, we could well be stuck with the lottery for several more years at least. Even if the transition to a volunteer army were carried out, it would only mean a charge in the method of entrapment from force to bribery.

Many of us now can vote, but it is a hollow privilege indeed if we haven't the freedom of control over even our most basic rights.

On- The-Job- Training

Lincoln High has had an auto-shop for students since the days of the Model T. In those years it has been well maintained and provided with the best equipment possible. Through these years the only thing the auto-shop students have been deprived of is O J.T.

On-the-job-training is not only a good way of training a student to be a good and experienced mechanic from the time he leaves high school, but provides the student with an insight as to what the trade is really like and if he would want to be a mechanic for the rest of his life

I have dealt only on auto-mechanics because that is my major interest and I want to go on O.J T for my senior year. Since I can't, I don't have a senior year! I' m sure the feelings I experience are shared by students in electronics, machine shop, woodworking, and print shop.

On-the-job-training seems to me one important facet which high school should employ; I don't know all the details involving O.J.T., but I'm sure t here are not

abruptly. Also, the only way to be given more freedoms is to show that you are responsible eno ugh to handle them.

Signed, Anxious to leave!!

Hikers Cfiallenge

Prom Needn 't Be Costly

Don't despair, guys! Even though prom is just around the corner, attending it does not have to cost you a bundle The important thing is to ask your date to go.

After she has accepted, talk over your plans for the evening. Going to dinner before the prom is not mandatory, but if you plan to do so you need not go to the most elegant place in town You may rent a tux, but a nice suit is also acceptable Flowers for your date is important to a girl but a small corsage may be purchased for a small amount.

It is not only men who go through the prom panic. Girls, too, have many things to worry about She has to look forward to the problems of getting a dress, shoes to match, getting her hair done and buying a bootenier for her date.

Here again, these things need not be expensive either. Making your dress and shopping for shoes and fixing your own hair can cut the cost a great deal. A bootenier for your guy varies in price so it is up to the individual.

Prom can be the most important and exciting night of your life, but it need not set you back financially.

The Advocate

Perhaps this so u nds tri t e, but this is a case where t he f reedoms and progress of the majority of the stud en ts are being th reatened by the actions of th e f ew. The only way to prevent the minority from rob b ing the rest of the studen t s of their p rivileges is for each studen t to be responsible for his own actions, and to report the vandalism of others if they are witnesses.

Students must realize that their freedoms do depend directly upon their actions.

COCEP Helps Curb Pollution with Recycling

Practice what you preach: this is the policy the Advocate is following in regard to the COCEP's paper recycling project.

In line with this policy, Mr. Gary Gabelhouse, a 1969 Lincoln High School graduate and presently assist ant in the Science Department and one of the COCEP advisors, has donated a 1908 Advocate to be added to the Lincoln High School archives. One condition of the contributation is that the Advocate continue to cooperate in COCEP's further recycling projects.

The Advocate urges all students to read the paper and then to place it in the COCEP boxes that are placed around the school so that it may be recycled. Be ecology minded and put any other unfolded paper in the boxes, also

Students' Poll Choices; McGovern, Nixon Lead

The eyes of the nation will be on Nebraska, May 9, the date of the Nebraska Presidential Preference Primary.

Although the stakes are small as far as actual delegate votes are concerned, it is very important for each candidate to win as large a percentage of

s.he to keep p his standing as.,a va:fi(f nationa l candidate

The imp ortance o f the you th vote h as been talked about, speculated over, underestimated, and it is fairly well decided that no one knows just how much impact the youth vote will have.

This survey might help to determine the candidate that students at Lincoln High, who will be eligible to vote either in the primary or in the general election in November, will support.

The questions asked were: 1. Do you plan to vote in either the primary or general election? 2. Of the fourteen candidates that will be on the Nebraska primary ballot May 9, for whom would you vote?

The results indicate that many students are going to wait for more publicity from the candidates before deciding on their choices. Thirty-one of the total group polled were undecided. Several of these indicated they were debating between two candidates, and couldn't say which one they would vote for.

Only 1.33 percent said that they would not vote and 2.67 percent said that they didn't k11ow whether or not they were going to vote. That means 96 percent of the pollees plan to vote in either the primary or general election.

As a result of the Lincoln High School poll, two clear-cut leaders apparently were established. President Nixon and Senator George McGovern outdistanced the nearest candidates by margins of 5-l and 6-1 respectively. Nixon's two Republican opponents, john Ashbrook and Paul McClosky, did not receive a single vote. Neither did Democrats Vance Hartke, John Lindsey, and Samuel Yorty.

The rest of the candidates and their percentages:

Band Takes First Place • 1n City

Pioneer Park Provides Pleasantries

To Enioy Sunny Sunday Afternoons

The skyline dotted with a bright array of kites, the uoma of charcoaled hamburgers in the air, and bumper-to-bumper traffic from Gooche's Mill on, can only mean one thing-the inevitable spring pilgrimage to Pioneer's Park has begun.

The young, the old, hikers, bicyclists, or motorists-you find several of each at (or enroute to) Pioneer's Park on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

The Lincoln City Park Department estimates that on a typical spring Sunday afternoon, approximately 10,000 persons pass through the park.

There are many attractions tha t lure people to the area.

For those with historical interes t s, t here is the ancient Indian, not to mention the buffalo at the entrance of the park. ,, f\1y.

For nature-lovers, the Chet Ager nature center provides guided tours, or one can tour alone. Throughout the park, th ere are animals and ducks that can be observed and/o r fe d, and lots of clean, fresh air

Even if you don't stop to use the park's facilities, just driving through the park provides some iwth their weekly thrill. Dodging the bicyclists is a harrowing experience for most, especially in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

F or the older generation, looking at all the "freaks" and "weirdos" that inhabit the park is an experience not quickly forgotten and often provides a topic of conversation for some time to come.

Whether you have a definite purpose for going or you "just want to see who's there," Pioneer's Park is 600 acres of beauty-waiting for you

Coral Preservation U S c•t• h. G t d • • • 1zens •P ran e Subject of Talk

Speaking to Lincoln High School Period 5 biology classes, March 8, was Dr. Paul Krutak, professor fn the Department of Geology at the University of Nebraska. With the main points of his talk focused on coral formations and coral reefs, Dr. Krutak informed the students that coral is fast becoming an "endangered species."

According to Mr. Robert · Compton, chairman of the Biology Department, coral has become collectors' items not only because of its beautiful colors and shapes, but also due to the fact that it may be found in rather shallow water.

To preserve the coral which remains, a certain area in the Atlantic Ocean has now been set aside as a state park. Since coral takes many years to form, this precaution will insure that future generations will be able to observe this beautiful species of marine life.

Coral is usually within the biologist's field of interest, but because of the potential gas and oil deposits that are found near and around coral, geologists, like Dr. Krutack are drawn into research of life beneath the ocean.

Dr. Krutak also showed slides of sea life taken off the coast of Florida and the Bahamas.

After living in the United States for approximately 17 years, Elizabeth Kochner has finally become an official citizen.

Beth was born in Burtonwood, England, where her parents were stationed in the service.

Her family moved back to the states when she was about a year old. whereupon they discovered that persons born under the British flag are classified as British citizens.

About a year ago Beth started the long procedure of getting her U.S. citizenship by tracing down her record of birth, her birth certificate, her parents birth certificates, marriage license, and passports; and a recent picture of each of them.

After much confusion and long waiting, Beth finally got her papers in order and sent them to the Omaha Immigration and Nationalization Office to receive her certificate.

In filing for her certificate, no tests were required, just legal papers and a six-page questionnaire.

Finally, after about a year's time, Beth received her certificate of U.S. citizenship.

Beth said she is glad that all the legality is over and that now she c;m register to vote in the May primary election.

An elated Lincoln High School Band under the direction of Mr. Orville Voss won its second consecutive trophy in the annual High School Band Contest, held April 13 in Johnson Gym. The Lincoln High School Band played the following numbers: Festive Overture

Shostakovich Transcribed, Hunsberger First Suite in Eb Holst Portrait of a Trumpet Nestico Gary Vajgrt, soloist

The band award, the result of a unanimous decision by the three judges, was based on tone, interpretation, appearance, balance, intonation, technique, and musical effect.

Judges were Gary Slechta, Joe Brice, and Lee Lillehaug, band directors from Iowa and South Dakota.

Rifle Provides

People these days seem to be on a nostalgia kick, and others search the country over for a genuine antique.

Greg Lugn doesn't need to search because he has an original 1873 Springfield R ifle his grand father purchased around 1900 as U.S Army surplus. With bayonet attached, the rifle is approximately six-feet long.

Greg believes that the rifle could have possibly been used ln the Spanish American War and maybe some time before.

Greg brought the rifle to school for Mrs. Ruth Ann Lyness's American Literature class which was studying William Faulkner's The Unvanquished, which takes place during the Civil War.

Greg says the rifle is in almost perfect condition, has remarkable accuracy, and is "very effective."

Six To Attend Boys'State

Six Lincoln High juniors will be going to places as far-flung as Valley Forge , Bataan, the Alamo, and Manila Bay this summer

The Advocate

Everyone knows seniors can't be replaced after they graduate or can they? Maybe not completely "replaced," for who-for instance-could take the places of this year's Advocate staff members?

Mrs. Ruth Gartner, director of publications, apparently felt that there are capable "replacements" around when she recently named the 17 new members for first semester '72-73 staff.

In order to have an efficiently run newspaper there must be "the Chiefs and the Indians." Next year's chiefs will be Bob Copple, editor-in-chief; Lisa Shelledy, news

editor.

Lee Johnson will serve as associate sports editor.

Bruce Worster will take on the advertising aspects as business manager

Staff writers will include Linda Bartzatt, Debbie Fisher, Nancy Girdner, Bill Jaeger, Laurie Peate, Mike Pierce, Cindy Stevens, Maggie Thomas, and Dallas Woltemath

The Links

Eight juniors have been selected as the 1973 Links board. Editor-in-chief Karen Scholz hopes "we can do an accurate and interesting job of reporting everything that occurs during the '72-'73 school year."

"A good business opportunity" is how Don Lund looks upon his position as business manager.

John Weixelman, sports editor, thinks "It will be alot of work, but if we put out a great finished product, it will be worth it!"

Actually, they won't be going out of the city-they will be attending Cornhusker Boys' State, to be held June 10 to 16 , at Nebraska Center. These places are just units of the miniature state that will be assembled there.

1 1 Make Cheer Squad

Amidst tears of happiness aQd shouts of " I can't believe it!" I I junior girls were recently tapped varsity cheerleaders for I 972-7 3. They are Holly Hinman, Debbie Kennedy, Ronda Krueger, Melissa Otto, Kerry Pearson, Judy Policky, Linda Porter, Cathy Schwartz, Lisa Shelledy, Marga Silenieks, and Noala Van Andel.

The girls were chosen from a field of 23 candidates each of whom were required to perform two cheers (one of her own choosing and one selected for her) before a committee of judges. Each girl was judged or.

rhythm, balance, voice, crowd appeal, and appearance.

Tryouts, which were held April 7, climaxed two weeks of clinics, during which time the girls practiced a nd learned the required 10 cheer s. However, it was the consensus of the 11 girls that all of the hard work paid off, and there's more to come!

Debbie Kennedy, looking beyond the sessions, stated, I m lookmg forward to the pre-game dinners and meeting the cheerleaders from other schools."

Reserv e Cheerleader Clinics

Sophomore cheerleader hopefuls are presently attending clinics to prepare themselves for reserve cheerleader tryouts, May 1 and 2. It is estimated tha t 35-40 girls will actually try out; the others are just learning for their own enjoyment.

Approximately 50 girls are participating in the clinics which are designed to teach the cheers and to help develop cheering skills.

Ten to fifteen girls will be chosen in the semi-finals, then 4-6 will be tapped as members of the new 1972-73 reserve cheerleader squad.

Mall P rogress: 'Idea to Reality'; Completion Around the Corner

From a mere idea, to an architect's blueprint, to a fulfilled reality ,. this is the progressi on of the Centennial Mall which is expected to be completed by the end of this month

The Mall began as an idea of Mrs. Ruth Gartner, Linco.In H igh School Journalism and English teacher and publications director, who served as an active member of the Centennial Committee last year.

Responsible for putting the plans on paper was Mr. Larry £nersen, Lincoln architect. Turning these plans into reality has been the work of commercial construction agencies.

The estimated cost of the project is $16,000. Money for Mall construction is being provided by activity funds and donations from different classes, including this year's seniors.

At the north end, concrete formations will add interest to the flower and shrub plantings The Centennial boulder, to be mounted on a cement slab

will be marked with a plaque presented to Lincoln High School by the Board of Education

The southern half of the Mall will feature native Nebraska trees and shrubs.

At the present, plans do not include a reflecting pool because of a maintenance problem.

The Lincoln Garden Club will donate $120 annually to help promote interest in the Mall. It has also offered the services of its members to help with the plantings ,

"To make a regular school area into a beautiful spot where students can gather with friends," is the purpose of the Mall according to Principal William Bogar

Progress on construction has been temporarily delayed because of a labor-management dispute. Hopefully this will soon be ended so construction toward completion of the Centennial Mall can continue as planned.

Although the painters strike and the weather have played havoc with the job, construction work on the Lincoln High Centennial Mall continues to progress With the strike ended, workers were back on the job, April 18.

Se niors Calculate Way; Place in Math Contest

As a result of the 23rd annual National Math Contest, three senior boys have been named Lincoln High's 1972 Math Team.

The top three Link scorers were Loring Fenn, John Osborn, and Doug Johnson. John and Doug were also on last year's team.

Sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Mathematical Association of America, the test was given to 100 Links from all three grades.

The results at Lincoln High School ranged from Loring's 39 to many negative scores. To arrive at the final reading, a fraction of the wrong answers was subtracted from the right answers

Ninety minutes was the time allotted for the test which included 35 problems.

Bicycle Regulation 'A Must'

Whether it's the spring season, the pollution problem, or just a fad, the fact remains that there are more people riding bicycles than ever before in the history of two-wheel transportation.

One factor of cycling has been made unmistakably evident: persons riding bicycles must follow rules as well as those who operate motor vehicles to insure safety on the streets and prevent unnecessary accidents

Those who disobey the rules may be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and if convicted, may be fined not to exceed $100; or may be adjudged and ordered to surrender the registration plate for his bicycle to the Police Department for a period not to exceed six months; or may be ordered to surrender his bicycle for impounding for a period not to exceed six months.

The Lincoln Police Department, in the interest of the public, has p u ousne<1 a map ot recommended bicycle routes and the laws governing bicycle riders. They may be picked up at any frre station or the Police Department headquarters.

The following regulations pertain to all riders:

( 1) Every person operating a bicycle is subject to all of the laws applicable to the driver of any vehicle except those expressly excluded.

(2) It is unlawful for any person to operate a bicycle upon any street within the City without having the vehicle registered, and without having a number plate displayed upon it so as to be plainly visible.

( 3) The owner of a bicycle shall give to the purchaser a bill of sale, the name and address of the purchaser, and the name and address of the seller. The new owner must apply for a transfer of ownership or for a new license plate within five days of sale or transfer.

(4) Every bicycle must be equipped with a brake adequate to control the movement of and to stop such bicycle within reasonable limits. Bicycles are required to have a red reflector button not less than two inches in diameter placed so as to be plainly visible from the rear.

front when operated within the city between one-half hour after sunset and one-half hour before sunrise.

( 6) Upon entering a street a bicyclist shall yield to all vehicles. Upon entering a sidewalk he must yield to all pedistrians.

(5) Bicycles llllSt have a ( 7) Persons riding whitish light mounted on the bicycles shall ride single f'lle.

(8) It is unlawful for any person riding a bicycle to hold on to another moving vehicle.

JA Banquet Honors Members

Lincoln High School Junior Achievers fared well at the first annual Junior Achievement banquet, held Thursday, May 4. This banquet concluded JA activities for the year.

This was the first year for Junior Achievement in Lincoln and from all angles

Iit appears to has been very successful. Plans have been made to expand the number of participating companies next year.

Lincoln High seniors won three of the six scholarships presented. Marsha Mar, Carol Dingman, and Mark Weaver each won $100 ' scholarships.

0 ff ice r - o f -the -year awards were also presented at the dinner. Bill Keech of Lincoln High won as vice-president, Bill Harvey as safety director, Phyllis Berry as secretary, and Lori i Scholl as personnel director. In all, Lincoln High students won four of the eight officer awards.

Bill Scholl winners Keech and Lori were named as · of trips to the

National Junior Achievement Conference to be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, later in the year. They were two of the eight city winners of the week-long, expense-paid trip.

Salesmen who had over $1 00 in sales were also honored at the banquet. Phyllis Berry, John Kennedy, Lana Stone, and Mark Weaver were the Lincoln High members who received this recognition

Additional individual awards were also revealed. The Achiever A ward winners were announced, persons who had 80 percent attendance, sales in the top half of their companies, recommendation by an advisor, and passed a test on JA terms.

Lincoln High winners of this a ward were Carol Dingman, Jeff Hartshorn, Bill Harvey, Phil Hunt, Marsha Mar, Mark Meyer, Barbara Montgomery , Richard Morgan, Lori Scholl, and Mark Weaver.

The guest speaker at the banquet was Mr. Gary Hill, president of Northwestern

Metal Company. J Angers was named as company of the year. Cenco was named as runner-up.

Final Vespers To Be May 21

The Lincoln High School Vesper season will come to a close with the Senior Choir and Orchestra concert scheduled for May 21 at 2 : 30 p.m. in the Lincoln High School Auditorium.

The senior choir will sing Francis Poulenc's Gloria. The choir is the first in the state and maybe even in the country to attempt the works of this composer The orchestra, which will accompany the choir, will play three numbers

Both Mr Ivan Caldwell and Mr. Orville Voss are very pleased with the performance of both groups.

Miss Charlotte Bumgarner, senior at the University of Nebraska, will be guest soloist Miss Bumgarner was Mr Caldwell's student teacher during first semester of this year.

In a statement issued by Mr. Prasch he said, ''This recommendation is not a move for more permissiveness but is an attempt at fixing responsibility.

"Students need to have the opportunity to demonstrate that they can behave responsibly with fewer restrictions; parents need to be less dependent upon the school to regulate their children or else develop for schools a clearer authority than they now seem to possess; school personnel need the help of all in improving the learning environment for children."

According to those who helped develop the plan, open campus has many problems to be worked out before next fall. The day will have to be lengthened by 15 minutes to allow 45 minutes for lunch.

The reason for lengthening the day instead of shortening class time is the need

for at least 55 minutes for lab classes such as.l;Uoloal[ and.auto.mechanics

The problems related to the parking lots and the certainty of congestion near student-patronized eating places will call for increased supervision

Students who decide not to leave the school grounds for lunch will also need something to do and extended supervision

Tim Renker, president of Student Council, said the idea of opening the boys gym and providing recreational games could take care of the students lunching at school. "Clubs could also show films," he suggested.

Tim commended Mr. Prasch for his help and felt that without his assistance and guidance, open campus would not have been given a chance. As submitted, the open campus plan was unanimously approved by the school board

Tim warns, "Students should remember that next year will be a "trial run." If there is a rash of tardies, accidents, and other such problems, the board has the authority to reverse its decision "

Speech Team: Second in State/

Lincoln High School captured second place in the state in Class A at the State Invitational Speech Contest held April 29, at Doane College

Kathy Babcock won a state championship in interpretation of prose with her selection from James Thurber's "Fables for Our T i me " She received a perfect score from all three judges in her final round.

Mary Raymer placed second in the state in poetry interpretation, and Jeff Swing received third in informative public address. Bob Thurber also reached the final round in interpretation of prose.

The individual competition was divided

into two preliminary rounds and a final round. In addition to individual presentations, group presentations of Readers Theatre were judged

Lincoln High's entry in this field, Spoon River Anthology, with Russ Harris, Pam Kitzmiller, Landis Magnuson, Jo Shrader, and Bob Thurber serving as readers, won an excellent rating.

Other Lincoln High entries failed to reach the final round. Chan Taylor, entered in original oratory, and using the same speech that won him second place in the national American Legion contest, didn't reach the finals. In interpretative public address, Landis Magnuson, defending state

champion, also reach the finals did not

Competition was divided into two classes, depending upon the enrollment of the school. Entries were received from all over the state except from the Omaha schools

Team awards included a sweepstakes and a runnerup trophy in each class. In Class A, Lincoln Southeast finished with 126 total sweepstakes points and the state championship, while Lincoln High had 87 total sweepstakes points to finish second in the state

The race for second place was very close, with Lincoln High nosing out Seward High by one sweepstakes point.

Though the actual decisions now rest with Lincoln’s four high schools, the Board of Education has cleared the way for “open campus” policies at each of them. The result is almost certain to be more freedom for students next year, at least in the matter of leaving the schools at lunch time.

The change is certain to be regarded favorably by students, possibly less so by parents and other citizens.

And problems could develop, of course. Traffic will increase in school neighborhoods at mid-day. Spring afternoons may tempt some students not to return after leaving at noon. Greater responsibility will lie with parents to know where students are at lunch time.

But the greatest responsibility lies with students themselves. In their hard and careful work in developing the open-campus proposal, they—or at least their representatives—have already shown a great deal of that quality.

schools. There is ample reason to believe high school youths are more mature and serious-minded than they were then.

Moreover, the changing nature of education makes a closed campus less and less viable. Today there is increasing emphasis on flexibility in programs and schedules, on the idea that learning can take place other than in a classroom. As more and more students supplement their studies with experience in the community, it is necessary that they come and go from the school at varying hours of the day.

Many people, unfortunately, still regard schools as some sort of custodial institutions. But this concept is hardly compatible with modern education.

The school board has wisely made it possible to open “closed campuses.” There is no compelling reason why the schools should not try it. If the students, administrators and teachers make it work well, everyone should gain.

The time for graduation is nearing, and along with the joyous occasion and first taste of freedom, comes the intense happiness of receiving a special award.

The origins of many of the special awards presented to seniors on Color Day are sometimes vague; listed below is an explanation of their beginning and the qualifications on which the student is chosen for the honor.

The Harry Sidney Dobbins Award is given to the young man who has best combined the athletic ability and scholastic competence. The award was established in 1913 in memory of a Lincoln High student who died the suiini before his senior year.

The Lincoln High School Scholarship Key A ward, initiated in 1 91 7, recognizes the top scholar. Originally awarded as the Fred Gardner Scholarship Medal, in 1926, it became the Lincoln High School Scholarship Key A ward.

The Lincoln Symphony Award, which was first awarded in 1 95 1, recognizes superior musicianship.

Hot (?) Lunch

With open campus at lunch next year, the cafeteria will be in competition with local eating establishments in the area. The menu of the cafeteria cannot be helped, as it is city-wide. But there is no excuse for setting the food out so long in advance that it is ice cold by the time a student gets to his table.

I realize this speeds the lunch line along, but I’m sure waiting a few seconds longer is worthwhile if it improves the quality of the food. It is called “hot” lunch—why not have it be that way?

Frozen Stomach

Food is dished in advance to insure faster service. It is warm when the students pick it up in the line, but by the time they get the other necessary items with their lunch, pay for it, and finally reach the tables, it may have cooled off slightly. I doubt that it is “ice cold.”

Mrs. Shirley Eno Cafeteria Manager

which carries a tuition grant, was first established in 1954 and is given to the graduating senior who is judged to show the greatest potentiality in the field of teaching.

The Drama Award honors the young man or woman who has shown the greatest development in the field of theater arts. The first award was given in 1959.

The iVed Prucha Award is presented to the young person who scores highest in the combined areas of scholarship and activities. The award was established in 1960 in memory of a 1958 graduate who, in 1959. lost his life in a fire while vacationing in Staiheim, Norway.

The Art Award Key is given to the top art student who is recognized as having the greatest ability and initiative in the field of art. The award was first given in 1963.

The Lincoln High School Journalism Key, which is the most recent of the special awards, dates back to 1964. The young person who has shown great dedication working in the area of publications is presented this award.

Senior Rights

I always heard that your senior year was your best year in high school, and that it’s the one year you’ll fondly remember forever. But, as a graduating senior, I find that the only really great thing about this year is that it’s my last and I’ll be through with this school and it’s system.

As I look back over this year, I wonder where some of the rights of seniors went to I thought we were to vote on what we wanted to do on Color Day, and on Graduation night. Instead, they’ve already been chosen for us. I can’t really point out one thing we’ve accomplished. There is so much apathy in this school now, and I can clearly understand why. I sometimes get the idea that the teachers who retire should not just be the ones who have reached a certain age. It seems like the administrators, teachers and students are all to blame together and should find a solution together.

I sincerely hope and pray that next year’s seniors have a much better and more organized year than we have had, and that there will be changes made.

Men often argue that they are superior in terms of strength and stamina. This is wishful thinking, however, that can be proven as a fallacy by science.

Women, go ahead and enjoy the fun of being treated like a fragile flower, but remember, when it comes to survival, you are the fittest!

Men are wonderful dears who make great husbands and fathers and a girl wouldn’t want to go on a date with anything else, but genetically they are the weaker sex. From the day of birth, the females of almost any species is sturdier than the male.

Evidence from studies made by Dr. James B. Hamilton, well-known endo cnnologist, shows that from worms to humans, the male is less able to tolerate life’s everyday stresses.

The male has a higher mortality rate in almost all forms of life. For humans, the death rate is 32 percent greater for males than for females during the first week of life. United States Public Health data shows that the female suicidal death rate is less than one-half that of males.

The stresses that the environment imposes on men—to compete, to produce, to succeed—may be one scientific explanation for male weakness; another explanation is that the condition may be hormonal in origin.

Dr. Hamilton’s research shows that the male hormone induces a higher metabolic rate in the tissues. This may be the reason that the male “burns out” faster than the female. Female hormones help retard the aging of blood vessels.

Despite their capabilities, women are thought of as inferior beings, and seldom are given equal chances with men. Only seven percent of the practicing physicians, three percent of

Underclassmen Seek Positions on Council

Toss Hats into Ring

At the Student Council general elections to be held May 11 , 16 junior and 16 sophomore candidates will contest for the eight positions to be filled for each class.

Debbie Schmidt, a member of the election committee, stated, "Everyone who cares should get out and vote. It will only take a minute of your day.

"Those who do not vote will be mtssmg a chance to select Council members who voice your thoughts."

Voting will take place in the east end of the cafeteria hallway. Students may vote before and after school and during lunch.

Student Council is scheduled for fourth period again next year, but it has not yet been decided how many times a week it will meet. Mrs. Rae Haws will continue as the sponsor.

VICKI JONES, junior:

Being on Student Council this year has been somewhat of a learning experience for me. I now have a better idea of what a student government can be. A big accomplishment of Student Council was getting open campus passed by the school board. Forums, polls, and various other activities have been sponsored by your Student Council. I would like the chance to continue working for a much stronger, influential, student government.

JEANNIE JANECEK, junior: I feel that I k n o w enough of the student body to be voted onto Student Council. If I am elected I'll not only represent the class of '73 but the other classes as well. With your ideas Student Council can, and does work.

PAUL ELLS, junior: If I am elected to Student Council, I will do my best to get things done which are benefical to Lincoln High. I feel that school should be a relevant learning process and hope that Student Council will help to emphasize this. Student Council has done much this year and I hope to continue the good work.

BARB REED, junior:

So on we r---,.,..,...--go. It's welfare is all of our concern. No burden is it to bear, we'll get there just fine. For I'm strong, strong at least, enough to carry it. It ain't heavy, 'cause it is my Student Council. But it's a long, long road. I want to be on Council if the Junior Class wants me.

CARLA TENOPIR, soph: Apathy is pathetic! This is my platform for Student Council 1972-73. If elected, I hope to get more stud e n t s (noncouncil members in particular) involved in their government. My accomplishments will be promoting ideas, brought to me by other students, about what needs to be done at Lincoln High.

.

TOM DIETZE, junior: I am run__ ning for Student Council because I am int ested in the student and his position in high school. Students, too often, are apathetic towards school activities, and possibly through Student Council, I could develop their interest in the school and start getting more students involved.

HOLLY HINMAN, junior:

As a Student Council member, I would do my utmost to be a representative of all the students I would like to see the people of LHS have a larger voice in determining the rules of their education, and to see the students stand as a united body to achieve their goals.

MERRILEE OLSON, junior: Although at first I filed for Student Council for curiosity's sake, I now realize that I could serve a purpose if elected. That purpose is not my own and is up to the interested students at Lincoln High to reveal that purpose to me. If you decide to put me on Council, I can only promise to serve your needs as well as you communicate them to me.

• • •

BETH MAIER, junior: I would like to see more student involvement in school activities.

0 ne way this could be solved is by publicizing all school events. If the students knew what was going on in school, more would probably want to be involved in school activities, and they won't leave it up to the others to get the job done.

DEBBIE SHAW, soph: Student Council should be an opportunity for all students to have a voice in how their school is run. I am willing to work hard for a greater student understanding with teachers and the administration, more council sponsored activities and a closer relationship between Council members and students.

JUDY VAN ZANDT, soph:

I know I've been one to complain about Student Council not doing much, .I really don't have much room to talk because I've never run before. I'm like alot of others, I see things wrong and I complain. So now I'll try to help get something done.

• • •

JOHN WEIXE LMAN, junior: If I am elected to Student Council, I will try to represent Lincoln High the best I can. I hope to help in student affairs and would like to see much more come to Lincoln High, not only in privileges but also in ways of education and communication of students and teachers.

.

DAVE HEJL, junior: Being a student of Lincoln High, I can see a need for student involvement. Activities should involve everyone, not just a small minority. I hope to improve the link between Student Council and student body. Recent Open Campus has shown one of the many things Council can do.

• • •

LEE JOHNSON junior: The only time Council is directly involved in decision making policies is when it's asked by the administration. With open campus coming, Council must be able to relate students' opinions that will affect LHS. Better representation of students views is my goal if elected to Council.

SUSAN BROWN, soph. If I am elected to Student Council, I will try tn l represent the Junior class as best as I can. I will do my best to that the student requests are brought before the Student Council and given the attention needed. . .

VIVIAN MOORE, soph: I feel that running for Student Council will b e a n experience in which I can relate my opinion or proble.ms which come up in Council. If chosen as a representative for my class, I will accept opinions or problems from fellow class members to present in Council. I think it will also be a chance for me to understand how the system and Council work and communicate together.

.

ROBIN McCLEERY, soph: As a present St dent Council member, I have become fami1iar with school affairs and their problems and wish to help in solving them. Council is a good way to get acquainted with students and their needs. If students and faculty work together, better understanding f each other can be brought out.

• ••

LYNN LIENHART,junior: After being off Council for a year, I realized that the students were inadequately informed on what the Council was doing. Since Student Council is supposed to be a body that represents the student's views. I feel than it's the Council's job to keep the students informed on what the Council is doing. And that's what I will try to accomplish if I'm elected.

LINDA PORTER, junior: Student Council should consist of people that care about Lincoln High and are willing to give something of themselves to improve it. I am really willing to work hard to listen to, and bring forth ideas from the student body. Student Council needs the ideas and support of the student body.

• • •

MARK TOWNSEND, junior: I wish to be on Student Council because I feel the Council should be a vehicle in which the student's wishes and desires are exposed and, if possible, carried out. I feel the Council is not this now, and I feel I could help to bring this about. Thank you.

GISELE O'CONNOR, soph:

I view Student Council as an opportunity for the student body to voice its opinion to the administration. My only goal is to take the responsibility of representing student ideas and improving our school. I will try to see that the open campus, and other favorable policies, are a success. .. ..

JOHN HOPGOOD, soph:

I'm running for Council because I believe that it has a lot of potential to be one of the most valuable organizations at . Lincoln High, eSPecially when students and members of Council can communicate and work together. Student Council will literally be what you make it. Use this power to your advantage.

• • •

JANE TYLER, soph: I think Student Council should work for the good of everyone, students and teachers. It should try to represent all the students and their ideas for good school government. I would like to help represent the Class of '74 and help make the coming year at Lincoln High better for all.

. "' .

BARB NEWCOMER, soph: Lincoln High has a lot of traditions that should be kept, and a lot of potential that should be developed. It's the responsibility of the Student Council to act for the students, and the responsibility of the students to make their wishes known to the Council I would like to help and see the Council and the student body work more closely together.

• • •

DENISE WOODS, soph : I think I should be elected to the Student Council because I would like to try to help out our school. There are s o m e changes that I think could better our school and I would like the chance to help make them. Also, I would h'ke to promote projects to help the student relationships.

• • • JAN SIMS, junior : The -----, reason l have run for Student Council this year is not for the self glory I've had in the past. I feel that God • could use me as an instrument of His will. If God wants to use me through Student Council I will be voted in.

GAIL PARTSCH, soph: I started this thing on a dare, but now I'm really interested in Student - · Council. I want to be able to help with the problems open campus will bring. I also would like to get more involved in school activities.

• • •

NANCY DANEK, soph: Student Council could really accomplish alot of things for the 72-73 school year, and I would like to be a part of this.I think that it would really be a good experience and I'd be able to get more involved in my school and its activities, so I hope to get on Council and do my best to help the school if I can.

.. "'

JIM BROWN, soph: I feel should elected Student Council because for one thing, I have served on t h commit before. and I'm familiar (from a student's view) on some of the school's problems. I'm also interested in what's going on and what's happening in our school today, therefore I feel, I would be a proper delegate to help represent the student body.

* "' • JOAN MEAD, soph: Almost all s c h 0 0 council have a rep uta in g things Lincol High' Studen Co unci however has done or is some real action. The open campus question is an excellent example of the effort the council puts forth. I'd like to give some effort next year to the council to form the right attitudes on open campus and other areas.

JILL DUPONT, soph: I'd like to be elected a Student Council member to get involved with our school and its many problems, and to bring forth my thoughts and ideas to help improve Lincoln High. Student Council needs good, reSPonsible students who will be willing to work hard. With the help of others we can make our school a great school.

In 1927 Lincoln High was the host for the Gum Chewers Convention.

It's strange how as the days of the calendar diminish until that final day of graduation, memories that have made these past three years of school bearable, come into mind.

I remember my first day of school as a sophomore, I must have been the most lost student in the building. As a starter, I was offered a re&ttced-rate elevator ticket and seriously considered purchasing one. Guess who found out, almost too late, that there wasn't an elevator in the place!

One of the best of my memories stems from our first football game and Pep Rally. Way back then, booster tags were the "in" thing. I always got up before the milkman just to get to school before anyone else so I could have the choice selection of booster tages. By the end of first period I was literally covered with red and black construction paper, among other things.

We filed into the gym to the drumming beat of "Sons of the Black and Red." We took our seats on the front row-If we were lucky-or climbed the dizzy heights of the shaky bleachers, if the lower areas had been preempted. A voiding the onslaught of fellow students after the close of the rally required skill and agility.

Competition for "Victory" cheering honors was a real failure. When the sophomores' cue came, all of us just sat there, dumbounded. No one had briefed us on what we were supposed to do; in fact, we not only had not heard of the competition, we had never even heard of the cheer!

My junior year was much easier. I had adjusted to the "big school" atmoSPhere. On the first day of school, I manned my front door outpost, package of elevator tickets in hand, ready to peddle them to incoming sophomores. Other than this exciting experience, the year passed without incident!

I slid into my senior year, the ultimate of my school life. I was a big senior now. I had waded through the perils of two years and was ready to face up to a final year.

I was fmally a part of the big Senior Class. Along with the title of "senior" came a barrage of decisions to be made and responsibilities to be accepted. I had to start looking toward the days when I would be leaving school .'for good. But I made up my mind to make one spectacular time of this year. And believe me, I did!

This could sound hard to believe for all the junior Peppers, but I had the most fun in Pep Club. My friends and I caused more confusion at the games than anyone else; occasionally we altered cheers to include more imaginative and timely phrases.

In preparation for our game decorations we made ample use of the cafeteria facilities. After a gruelling hour of decorating, one wnnltl t nt'l tn n t t'l.a

The climax of the year was the State Basketball Tournaments. (Too bad our team wasn't invited). Many of us made our appearance there anyway. From other fans, we learned much about sportsmanship and/or the lack of it. Unfortunately, our workable vocabularies were greatly increased by the type of language being spoken there.

On the happier side, I remember planning a pep rally for an in-town game. We worked and slaved over skit uniforms and cheerleader uniforms, even as we attempted to teach the Peppers-new chants. We felt the outcome was really funny even if no one else did!

At the games, everyone would keep his eyes peeled on the ball, following every bit of the action. After the victor had been determined the entire crowd would find its way out of the auditorium and on the sport fans would go to carry out their plans for the evening's activities.

As the year rolled on, more activities would take place, some of them were memorable, others were the kind I'd rather forget: for instance, the time I fell down the biology stairs and lost my wig and all my books flew all over the landing.

There were serious aSPects to each of our high school careers. Being elected a member of National Honor Society, being selected to receive a scholarship for scholastic achievement, and chasing a career ranked as our most serious goals. As for me, my accomplishments included being elected to National Honor Society. The scholastic and scholarship achievements were a bit beyond my capacity. With the final days of school rushing by, I have come to realize that the total of all these good, bad, or indifferent experiences have made me an entire individual. All these little, trivial matters have brought me one more step toward graduation, and one giant step toward my ultimate nn'lll nAnlf.l..,.-,1

Jerry Ball Accepts Grid Coaching Spot;

Jerry Ball, an assistant football coach at Omaha Tech for the past six seasons, has been named head football coach for the Links, beginning with the 1972-73 school year. He replaces Andy Loehr who is stepping down after seven years. After graduating from Kearney State College, where he was a four-year football letterman, Ball returned in 1962 to Grand Island High, from which he had been graduated in 1957, to become assistant football coach.

In 1964, he went to Wayne High as head football and track coach before moving to his present post at Tech High in 1966.

Ball has been in charge of the Tech defense. According to an interview given to the Lincoln Star, he noted that he has always taken a great deal of pride in that phase of the game and he hoped to continue it at Lincoln High.

The 32-year-old coach said he ‘‘favors a run-oriented offense” and “leans to the belly-option series with lots of trap plays.”

Ball, who is looking forward to this opportunity and challenge said he “can hardly wait.” He hopes to meet with all the boys at Lincoln High sometime after the state track meet and before school gets out.

Loehr, who will remain on the Lincoln High teaching staff, will continue in his assignment as reserve baseball coach.

Assistant Helping Ball with the coaching duties will be the present St. Paul High School head football coach, Marvin Mueller.

Mueller will relieve Alden Johnson of his assistant football duties so that Johnson can devote full attention to the basketball program.

Mueller, an all-state football player at Columbus High School, played in the

Shrine game, went on to become a co-captain at Nebraska, an academic All-American, and the winner of the coveted Guy Chamberlain Award. He also played in the 1965 Orange and the 1966 Sugar Bowls. Mueller was an assistant at Bellevue High before taking the head job at St. Paul. He also said he has always wanted to teach in the Lincoln system and that he’s “extremely happy to get this opportunity.”

Graduates To Use Funds For Purchase of Benches

With almost $800 at their disposal, the seniors voted to use their class funds to help decorate the man. This money is to be used for the purchase of four cement benches and for a bronze plaque crediting the gift to the Class of 1972.

Counselors held with the seniors May 16, at which time suggestions for the senior gift were made.

The choices were a mosaic mural for the wall inside the boy's gym; the expansion of the art

gallery; the purchase of additional library resources; and the purchase of the cement benches, which proved most popular.

It has become a tradition that every year the seniors use the money they have earned from bake sales, booths at the Interact Carnival, and through other money-making projects to buy a gift for the school.

It is believed that the first senior gift was given in 1902 - a curtain for the auditorium.

Staff Seniors Reflect Upon Memories (Good and Bad)

As the final days of school evolve, many seniors have mixed emotions about graduating and leaving Lincoln High behind forever.

Comments such as "I can't wait to get out of here," and "Gol, only nine more days of school left" is the general consensus of anxious seniors.

Pondering upon their final exit from Lincoln High, Advocate staff members took time out from their busy schedules to reflect upon the memories of their high school days.

From plain old staff writer to editor-in-chief this year, senior JoAnn Highstreet recalls, "My most memorable times came from the parties and pep rally skits we had in pep club." From her experiences on staff she commented, "It's unbelievable how many inanimate objects, such as pencils, pens, and rulers can be lost. Someone around The Advocate room must have a terrible stomachache."

After three semesters on The Advocate staff, senior

managing editor Judy Goeschel recollects, "The things I'll remember the most about high school probably won't do me any good in the future. But I do feel that being on The Advocate staff has given me

good experience for dealing with the many hassles I anticipate encountering in the future."

Anticipating that final day of his high school career, sports editor Herb Adams said, "I'm tired of school and I'm excited to get to the universityexcited to meet new people because people in high school are beginning to grow on me. I don't understand many things around Lincoln High. All in aU, it was pretty much fun."

Business manager John Arrigo feels this way about his high school days: "I have never learned so much about people in such a short time. My life is far from over, but in my high school activities I have developed some ideas towards people and situations that I hope will stay with me the rest of my days."

Senior Debbie Bayless feels that "Being ordered out of The Advocate room bec:mse one of the teachers didn't believe I was a staff member" may tend to be one experience she may not forget. She also added, "Being on The Advocate staff is probably one of the most challenging experiences I have ever been through; from it I have gained knowledge of the

news media"

"Teachers who care is what school is aU about," commented retiring page editor Karen Clore. "Unfortunatly, there are far too many in this school who do not care about anything except forcing their views upon the students. But I have been lucky in my senior year and have had some outstanding teachers!"

Contemplating their "ladder to sucess" are (from left) Jeff Swing, Karen Nohavec, Debbie Trahan, and Jeannine Green.

StaH Reflections

(Continued from page 8)

Debbie Trahan, looking on the bright side of having to go to school, said, "The time I've spent in Lincoln High's prison walls has been very discouraging. Most awards, positions, and honors are given to almost the same people time after time. The only thing I did like about Lincoln High is that it broke the monotany of staving home."

Valullble staff writer Marla Hoffman, reflecting on her high school days, said, "I remember Advocate parties, decorating (or attempting to) for the games, and finding new and imaginative ways of skipping classes." On the more serious side Marla said, "The people who attend the school are what Lincoln High is all about. There is such a of personalities, each one different from the other. Being a part of this student body has been quite an experience."

"West Side Story stands out the best in my mind," said retiring news editor Jeff Swing. He went on to say, "Of course tearing out my guts trying for the track has to be very

memorable. In all, Lincoln High is a nice place unless you have only one month left."

Retiring staff writers

Jeannine Green, Doreen DuPont, and Karen Nohavec all have similar memories to share. Karen said, "I'll never forget the funny, busy times I had working on The Advocate staff. The parties

were always fun even when they got raided. I applaud Mrs. 'G' who always put up with me good naturedly."

Doreen feels that "The most important thing that I have discovered through my education at Lincoln High is that I can learn more on my own. I cannot say that I remember everything that I memorized for classes, but the exposure to this information has given me the necessary background to build on."

Jeannine summed up everyone's feelings when she said, "High school has been a rewarding experience seeing my friends (most of them!) develop into more mature individuals."

Student Thoughts

God has given man a mind, a memory, and a message. With God's gift, man will take his memory and express his message. This is called life. Conflicting ideology is what makes the world go around and now is the time to decide what is for you and what isn't.

Richard James

My advice to those who would take it is to learn to live happily with all kinds of people If you can sometime look at yourself honestly and recognize your faults you can better understand others and learn to enjoy rather than tolerate them

So while you're in the excited, happy mood we all feel at the end of the school year-Remember-what the world needs now ...

Tim Renker

That life is a general drama of pain, reveals the tendency for people to have a perverse reliance on happiness. If life is to have any purpose, it must not rely on happiness, but understanding of the intricate pattern of life with all its pain, pretension, drabness, and occasional happiness, which only adds a thread to the pattern, not necessarily intended or needed.

Judy Mulder

First Class of Century 2 Leaving School 'Better'

I can't believe that so many changes have been made. More will come and many old values will remain.

The Class of 1972 will graduate in just a few days. The members have accomplished so much in three short years. This is the first class in Lincoln High's Second Century. Individuals and groups have distinguished themselves academically, in music, in drama, in practical arts, in business, in art, and in athletics.

The class has seen three years of change and improvement with increasing emphasis on involvment and humane concern for others. Participation in decision-making has brought changes in extracurricular rules and educational policies.

Big events were last year's Centennial, publication of the Lincoln High history, the Centennial Mall, open campus, the High School permanent art collection, girls interscholastic athletics, the 18-year-old's registration and voting, the quarter classes, and more emphasis on career-oriented work experiences.

Lincoln High School retains many of the old values, striving to transmit wisdom and knowledge and giving direction and purpose to effort and work. The members of the Class of 1972 have helped to preserve the good and leave Lincoln High better than they found it.

My congratulations to the members of the Class of 1972 and to the teachers, parents and others who have worked to bring success and progress.

Sharla Heckman and Vicki Jones have been selected to go to Cornhusker Girls State, which will be held June 10-16 on the University of Nebraska's Lincoln campus.

They will be two of over 300 girls from over the state who will converge on Mari Sandoz Hall for the session on state government

Mr. Robert Frederick, student teacher, supervises the fifth-period bookkeeping class in a simulated office practice.

Bookkeeping Classes Get Practical View Of Business Field

''Students choosing bookkeeping this year at lincoln High got a realistic look at bookkeeping which will help greatly once they get into the business field," said Miss Jamesine Bourke, business education teacher.

Each student individually goes through the bookkeeping cycle on his

own. During the last weeks of school, each class member has his own job to do in a particular area of the accounting department.

"When a high school graduate goes into the business field he will find that he will probably do just one job in the department," Miss Bourke noted .

Cornhusker Girls State is sponsored by the American Legion.

The girls will have many activities during their week-long stay. They will hold primary and general elections and campaigns; they will have speakers from all branches of government and private life. A trip to the State Capitol Building is planned, and also included is a dance with Boys State.

Sharla is sponsored by the Sertoma Club of Lincoln, while Vicki is sponsored by the Lions Club.

New Learning Exchange System Enriches Work-Study Program

Included this semester in a different type of schedule is a new learning exchange program, LEX.

The program, which works in cooperation with the Nebraska National Guard, has 16 members and is an extension of the present public high school work/study program.

At the present time, Don Puckett is the only representative from Lincoln High School.

The members work with National Guard personnel to receive on-the-job training in fields of their choice. They work about three hours each afternoon and receive hours of school credit. •

The student may already know which area he wishes to work in, but the program is flexible enough so that the student may work in different fields to experiment and

find the area in which he is most interested.

There is no monetary payment as in the regular work/study program. Instead, LEX is designed for participants to profit from the experience rather than complete a quota of work.

According to Captain Stanley Heng, National Guard director of LEX, the program could be extended into other government agencies and to other cities. If the program continues, it could involve some 60-80 students.

Lincoln High School students who may wish to participate in this program or who desire additional information are urged to contact Mr. Robert Reier, head of the Lincoln Public Schools work/study program. He is at Lincoln High every Monday morning in the counselor's office, Room 208.

Shephard Receives Grant-in-aid

Richard Shepard was announced as the recipient of a $3.000 grant-in-aid from the Peter Kiewit Construction Company of Omaha.

Richard said "The scholarship is for a black student who plans to major in civil engineering or

construction science. It will pay for tuition and books, and the only requirement will be that I work for the company one year after graduation "

Richard said that he went to Omaha for an interview, and was called back a week later to sign a contract. He plans to attend the University of Nebraska at Lincoln.

Two Tackled Troubles

Charles Beardslee and John Yost took part in the Nebraska Division of the Plymouth Trouble Shooting Contest held May 12 at the Gateway Shopping Center. The contest consisted of a written exam, and getting a car to run that had been deliberately "doctored up."

Three Foreign Students Say Goodbye

Another year is almost over and it holds different memories for different people. For many, busy summer jobs and trips are being planned. Others have no plans but are just relieved to be out of school. Seniors are getting ready for continuing education or jobs, while sophomores and juniors prepare for one or two more years of public schooling.

For those attending Lincoln High School through the American Field Service Program, the closing

of a year in the United States holds mixed emotions. Sadness comes with thoughts of leaving dear friends and "how fast the year has gone." Of course, thoughts of being home and seeing families once again evokes feelings of excitement and anticipation.

Lincoln High's AFS'ers and one CYE student were willing to share some of their feelings and parting thoughts with the student body .

Heidi Oberbrinkmann

Heidi Oberbrinkmann, ICYE student from Germany, will always admire the size of the U.S. and appreciate the different landscapes. Her fondest memory, however, will always be her host family.

One of her greatest disappointments was Lincoln's public transportation system, particularly the buses, because "it was so complicated to get around town without one's own car." She also felt a lack of activities for the long summer days. She admits that the latter may have been her own fault, because she didn't look for things to do.

Heidi feels that in all cases she received friendly treatment and was well accepted. "I must say, though, that we exchange students never did get to break into cliques here, but mostly stayed closest among ourselves."

Hamburgers and soft white bread still aren't liked too well by Heidi. She missed "German black bread, cheese, and joghurt," but she does like corn in all variations, and steak."

Heidi found that youth in both countries have an optimistic way of life even though they are concerned with the problems of today. One difference she noted was that "youngsters don't live as sheltered by school and society as they do in the U.S. up to a certain age."

Adjusting to the school day which seemed "terribly long" was the main difficulty in Heidi's change of environment. She least enjoyed American History "probably because I didn't show as much interest as I should have shown." International Relations and Twentieth Century America were her favorite courses.

While in the U.S., Heidi's most rewarding experience was discovering how flexible a human being can be if he only wants to.

She found that "he can love people not because of their blood relationship but just because of togetherness and sharing, that one can love to live anywhere in the world not only in the country of one's birth, and that if one is willing to accept different ways he might discover that they could be just as useful or even more so ."

Heidi will leave the United States from New York on July 29. She will arrive home in Germany on July 30.

Juergen Doering

Juergen Doering, AFS'er from West Germany, found people in the United States ''generally nice, just like people are." At times he found it hard to get to know them a little better because they are ''usually r.!!:!lab,_..J passive." He feels that getting to know so many different people was his most rewarding experience.

If he were in a position to do so, Juergen would make a few changes in the U.S. As President, he would "stop the Vietnam War right away, and spend more money on education and welfare, rather than wasting it on the moon or in the war machine." At the high school level, he would abandon passes.

While in America, Juergen missed the natural taste of food because 90 percent of the food comes out of cans. He particularly

disliked the idea of apples that are sprayed. "I like apples-and I don't want them sprayed. If you rub them to get that stuff off, they get shiny. That may be nice for shoes if you go to the Prom, but not for apples you eat."

On July 5, Juergen will leave Lincoln and travel with 30 other AFS'ers to St. I.ouis. He will then fly from New York on July 12 or 13 back to West Germany.

Something about the American way of life makes Juergen feel uncomfortable. He feels everything is so overorganized that it creates an absence of personal communication. The American society seems to be playing too many roles, according to Juergen. He thinks he would hate it to be a typical American teenager. "It must be awfully bard to keep up with that image of strength and self -security which cracks down on the individual."

Asta Birkeland, AFS'er from Norway, thought that p e o p 1 e

seemed most interested her as a foreigner rather than as a friend at the beginning of her stay in the United States with Mr. and Mrs. Holtzclaw and Sally . Later, people accepted her as an American and it was easy to make close friends.

School was not too hard for Asta because her courses weren't difficult ones. She took courses different from any she would be offered at home. Asta said she gained the most value from her social studies classes as they taught her more about the U.S. and its people. English also proved interesting.

Norwegian and American youth are very similar, according to Asta She did detect a difference, however, in the attitudes between boys and girls. In Norway, young people go more in groups rather than strictly dating by two's. She feels that Norwegian youth get to know each other in a very "natural way" because of group activities.

Having less contact with nature was hard for Asta to adjust to She is used to walking in the mountains and forests in Norway. She also disliked Lincoln's transportation system which was unreliable; she was bothered by the buses which pollute "the nice clean air."

Asta Birkeland

Links To Travel Far and Wide

Going places, doing things, meeting people, and getting to know their true life styles are the summer plans for four links.

Each is going out of the country for different reasons, yet each hopes to gain knowledge from experience, and new ideas from the places he sees and the people he meets.

Europe will be the predominant continent toured.

Sally Awaits

European Trip

Sally Holtzclaw, along with her family, is planning an extensive trip to Europe with the high point being a visit to see Asta Birkeland (Sally's AFS sister) and her: family.

The family will leave on Jttly 9; they plan to stay abroad at least six weeks. They hope to visit Luxembourg, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Russia, and Asta 's homeland, Norway.

In Kristiansand, Norway, Asta's home, Sally plans to boat, f"tSh, mountain climb, and meet Asta's friends and family.

The Holtzclaw family is also taking a special week-long bus tour to Leningrad, Russia.

Sally stated that the main purpose of the trip is "to meet and gain an understanding of the people rather than to see a lot of monuments."

Terri Peterson will say "adios" to Nebraska when she leaves for a 17-day bus trip to Mexico. She will be traveling with 42 other students who have elected to take a summer school course offered by the Lincoln Public Schools which includes this trip.

Terri received a $12 5 scholarship which is enabling her to take this trip. She has had two years of Spanish which will help greatly with language problems

The tour includes eight cities : Acapulco, Cuernavaca, Guadalupe, Laredo, Mexico City, Monterey, San Antonio, and Taxco.

Some of the sites the group plans to see are the Alamo, Hemis-Fair, Chapultepec Castle, the floating gardens of Xochimilco, bullfights, the pyramids, and the Shrine of Guadalupe.

Included in the intinerary is a three and one-half hour harbor cruise in Acapulco and many other interesting places.

Terri feels this will be wonderful fun even though it is "educational." She remarked that this will be ..school without the books, but with experience."

Stomp East 21-3 in Finale •••

Diamond Nine Wrap-Up 6-3 Season

Lincoln High's rain-shortened baseball season, combined with a first-round loss at districts, ended on the up-swing against Lincoln East at Muny diamond, May 22.

The Links scored a lopsided 21-3 win over the Spartans after losing a 3-2 decision to Omaha North in district tournament held at Sherman Field, May 15.

The Links jumped to a 1..() lead in the second inning of the district game, only to be topped by North's two runs in the top of the fourth.

The game looked like it might be a rout at the outset when the Links loaded the bases their first time up to bat. But an infield grounder, forcing an out at the plate, and a popped-up squeeze bunt, which resulted in a double play, retired the side.

Bengals Take Softball Crown

"With the intramural softball season ended, a full year of intramurals has been completed successfully," reports intramural director, Mr. Dick Terry.

The Bengals II softball team finished the season with a 6-0 record to claim the school championship. The squad was to have played in the city meet, but it was postponed twice because of rain and finally cancelled.

Mr. Terry stated that "from the standpoint of the participants, it was a successful year." He added that intramurals is primarily a recreation program in which, he says, he "tries to do what the students want to do."

The fall program of flag football, open gym, and body conditioning wasn't as popular as it usually has been, according to Mr. Terry. The new class scheduling which released sophomores at 3:30 and everyone else an hour

Kathy, who took state in the Class A 880-yd. run with a time of 2:30.2, is the first state champion for the links in girls track.

After winning the race, Kathy commented, "I just took one step ahead because last year, as a sophomore, I finished second. This year as a junior, I won it. Next year as a senior, I'm really hoping to capture first again along with a gold medal."

Linda Bade had a busy day as she captured second in the 440 and fifth in the 220. Her finishes helped bring up the Links point total for the meet.

Reserve Baseballers Tie for City

Although reserve baseball games may not attract the attention that the varsity games do, the 1972 reserve players proved that they tried their hardest to win. They finished in a tie with Northeast, making them co-champions of the City Reserves. The tournament championship games were played May 16, 17, and 19 at the Northeast diamonds

The reserves, under the leadership of Coach Andy

Loehr, defeated East and Northeast but bowed to Southeast, enabling them to lay claim to a part of the championship. The tournament wrapped up a successful 6-4 campaign.

Three wins over Northeast, combined with wins over Southeast, East, and Pius X made up the six wins for the junior Links. Southeast handed two defeats to the Links. with

Omaha South and Omaha Central also scoring wins over Coach Loehr's crew.

Six pitchers handled the reserve mound chores this spring. They were Brad Anderson, Dave Bliss, Ron Galusha, Dave Shaw, Ernie Stebbins, and Larry Weixelman.

Five scheduled games were rained out. Mr. Loehr allowed that «weather hurt the season because we weren't able to play "

Reserve Harriers Unwind; Weather Hinders Competition

Winning all its dual meets, the reserve track team finished a hard working and very successful season.

The team beat Southeast and Northeast once each, and whipped East twice.

Brian l>ance, Jim Marker, and Vern Jansky. In the sprints, good efforts were shown by Ron Wolfe and Cartrey Green.

Lee Johnson competed in several varsity meets and placed fairly high in the 880. Randy Johnson and Dan Maddox placed first and second several times in Some standouts on the team were the weightmen,

meets in the 440.

Mike King competed in the high jump and Pat Keelan was the pole-vaulter.

According to reserve coach Tom Bassett, "We must have been fairly good because several schools backed out on us for competition."

Rain cancelled a few meets. Coach Bassett stated "Weather made this the most miserable season I've ever experienced. It's a shame that there weren't more meets scheduled because members of the team worked hard and then never had much of a chance to compete because of the rain."

He added that "the most important part of the reserve program is to get people experienced so they'll be able to compete at the varsity level.

"We had a lot of returnees that were on last year's reserve team," he stated, and added that if not for the weather, the team probably could have done better.

Coach Loehr also said that most of the juniors of this year's reserve team will constitute next year's varsity, along with the four varsity returnees.

The reserve baseball squad was composed of 10 juniors and 9 sophomores. They were:

Reserve Golfers

Gain Experience

The reserve golf program is set up so that the younger and less experienced players can get the experience necessary for varsity competition. It is here in the reserve competition where many a high school athlete works his way up to possible star status on the varsity team.

This year's reserve golf squad consisted of four sophomores and one junior gaining the experience and practice needed for varsity. They were Brian Blocker, Steven Nixon, Cacy Severa.

and Scott Sughroue, sophomores, and Ron Wright, a junior.

The reserves collected four dual wins in eight meets this spring.

The reserves played all their meets over just nine holes, compared with eighteen for the varsity.

According to Mr. John Hindman, varsity and reserve golf coach, the reserves averaged 48 strokes for nine holes.

NSAA Sets Down New Rules; Girls Basketball Now Legal

When members of the Nebraska School Activities Association met in Lincoln for their annual meeting in April, many drastic changes ·in athletic rules were adopted

They unlocked the door to the gymnasium for the girls by striking out the section of the NSAA bylaws which prohibited girls basketball. This means if several schools get together and decide they want to play each other in girls basketball next year there is no restriction against it

Another big step was taken when the Representative Assembly passed a motion to establish specific seasons for interschool competition for girls in cross country, golf, gymnastics, softball, swimming, and tennis.

These sports were already allowed-as basketball now is-but the number of schools fielding teams was previously

limited. The new motion however, contains the clause that "no state contest will be planned until demand warrants."

Changes in Boys Athletics

The Board of Control decided to allow prep thinclads to enter any four events of their choice beginning next track season; this rule is part of the recommended regulation of the National Federation.

A motion to score six places at the boys state track meet instead of the present five, and to change the methods of scoring those places, squeezed by upon reconsideration after it had failed the first time.

Another change involved state golf and cross country meets . Previously, only individual qualifiers-but not all members of qualifying teams-could

earn an individual medal at the state level.

In the future, anyone who earns a spot in the state meet gets a fresh start in the meet to earn an individual medal.

In other action the Board also:

-decided to make the scores of all four state golf meet entries to count . rather than just the toi three as under present rules

-made the 330-yd intermediate hurdles a legal event for conference track meets.

-kept at three the number of wrestlers from each district (in each weight class) who may qualify for the state meet; in the future, a district champion will receive one team-point for advancement for first round byes.

Weaver, Schomaker Drafted

For Summer Star Positions

Lincoln High seniors, Mark Weaver and Bruce Schomaker will be in the sports spotlight this summer. Weaver was selected to play in the Shrine Bowl football game and Schomaker was picked to participate in the Nebraska Coaches Association All-Star basketball game . Weaver, who was among nine Lincoln seniors to be chosen, will play on the North squad in the game scheduled for August 19, in Memorial Stadium

Altogether, 66 higb school gridiron stars were chosen to play with both squads which will be practicing two weeks prior to the game. The North squad will work out at Midland College in Fremont, the South at Doane College in Crete

The North coach is Les Lee from Scottsbluff; Frank Solich of Lincoln Southeast will coach the South Schomaker will represent

the Links on the North Squad in the fourth annual all-star basketball game to be played in Pershing Auditorium, August 18.

Schomaker will be the only player from Lincoln on the North squad. Three other Lincoln boys will be on the South squad.

The North coach will be Jack Johnson of Columbus, who led his team to the state Class A title this year The South coach will be

-brought swimming entry regulations into line with the national rules. A swimmer will be allowed to enter three events, one of which-two if he wishes-must be a relay.

Some motions were struck down such as the proposal to establish statewide football play-offs. However, the group authorized the appointment of a study commission to devise a proposal which the Representative Assembly will consider next spring, thus delaying any specific action for another two years.

A restriction was also placed on the high school grappler, limiting each boy to no more than 26 matches-excluding district and state meets.

A change which would have allowed a boy to compete in more than one sport per season was also struck down.

The Board of Control agreed to conduct a study on three other subjects for future action: l. the possibility of making the state golf meet a two-day, 36-hole event ; 2. converting the state baseball playoffs to a double-elimination tournament ; and 3. using video tape or electric timing devices at the finish line at the state track meet.

The South club, paced by 7 -foot Mike Heck of Papillion, will hold the height advantage. The shorter Yankee club is expected to employ the run-and-gun, fast-break style of play.

Lincoln High team has done it. Last year the Links defeated Grand Island, 100-78.

Facing East High in the district tournament, the links were trounced 77-57, in a game that was a real heart-breaker. We had alot of momentum going and I could feel the tenseness of the game as it started. But things fell apart and suddenly, it was all over.

The Links swim team had a fantastic season, winning City, Trans-Nebraska, and City relays-the Triple Crown-had to be the highlight of the season for Coach Cotter and his swimmers.

Losing only two duals, one of which was correctly judged (Westside), and the other which was somewhat questionable (Fremont), the links swim team captured fifth in the state meet, held at Omaha Burke.

Wrestling, a strenuous and tiring sport which demands lots of quick moves on the part of the competitors is probably one of the toughest sports to work out for.

As a team, the Links were faulty and managed to win only one dual meet. They defeated Pius, 30-17. Individually, Jerry Bockoven, Allen Lyons, and Tino Orta did well in the state tournament, especially Orta, who captured the 119-lb. weight class title.

Baseball, boys and girls track, and golf round out the year of sports at Lincoln High School.

The baseball team had problems trying to play games when it wasn't raining. Its only losses were to Omaha South, Sourtheast, and Omaha North. Beating Southeast, 6-4 in the second game with the Knights provided a lift for the team because, up to that time, Southeast was undefeated.

· Many errors on the part of Lincoln High in the district game against Omaha North, helped in the Links defeat by the Vikings and eliminated them from a berth at the state tourney.

Coach Grosscup's crew played only eight games because of the rain, but still finished the season with a 5-3 record.

The golf team, under its new head coach John Hindman, had its problems mainly because of lack of experience.

One golfer, Steve Harris, somewhat of a standout, captured medalist honors in the district meet; he represented the Links in the state golf meet.

Lack of depth and some inexperience, together with tough competition, hindered this year's track team.

The team started improving as the season went along. Coach Scott and his runners captured second in city and qualified I 0 men for state .

The girls track team was paced by Linda Bade and Kathy Hutchinson, both of whom placed high in the state meet. Kathy captured the 880 event and Linda was second in the 220.

So goes another year of sports. "Out with the old and in with the new," as the saying goes. This year's ups and downs have no bearing on what nex' year will be like. There is room for much improvement but I guess there always will be-Good luck in the future!

c-How do you feel about the statement, "You have to pay a price to be a winner ."

Comment:

Your answers, attitudes, philosophy on the above items will have much to do with how you approach an athletic experience if you do.

Again this year, we have seen results - both positive and negative-on our various scoreboards Personally, I feel that we have some fine opportunities presenting themselves in the next school year to climb up a notch or so in the athletic prestige ladder.

I continue to think that competitive athletics offers much to the young man that enters it. One of our great men in history a soldier and statesman of the 20th Century put it this way : "Upon the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds which in other days on other fields will bear the fruit of victory."

Many people say "times have changed - the old goals, etc are obsolete " I continue to question this. I still feel there are many fine young people who will "compete," not merely participate, in school, scholastically and/or athletically.

Some of the old goals and methods to achieve them have been made more modern, but the young person who will continue to seek victory with the textbook, the horn, or the football will have a better chance to succeed in later years, because he or she sought victory So as the next school year starts and our fine Band strikes up the old familiar fight song, the words of which go: ... though the odds be great or be small, old LHS will win over all," let us all get regrouped and do our personal best to "shake down the thunder from the sky."

Maybe four years of college isn't always the best answer.

A college degree isn't the sure-fite guarantee for a job like it was five years ago -a high school diploma means even less.

Government statistics show that 8 out of 10 jobs in the 1970's will be filled by those with more than a high school diploma but less than a college degree. That means people who have a trade or a technical skill. People like those who graduate from Lincoln Technical College.

At Lincoln Technical College you can learn a skill or a trade and not spend forever in school. In most programs you earn a certificate in nine months. Or you can spend up to two years earning a degree. But the beautiful thing is that it's your choice. You get to decide how much you want to learn and how much time you want to spend learning it.

We think you'll be surprised at what we have to offer at Lincoln Technical College. You'll have a whole spectrum of programs to choose from-some traditional and some as new and exciting as tomorrow.
