The • r1se Volume XIV Captain Shreve High School, Shreveport, October 14, 1983 Number 2

Senior Don Middleton and sophomores Jim Holland and Kim Howard find a little to joke at a rehearsal of Dark of the Moon, which continues tonight and tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $3.

'Dark of the Moon' opens at Shreve by Blake Kaplan Editor-in-chief

Broadway's Dark of the Moon, a fantasy play set in the Smoky Mountains, debuted on the Shreve stage last night for the first of a three-day run.

The story revolves around a 19-year-old country girl named Barbara Allen (Caron Reddy) who wants to marry a witch boy named John (Don Middleton). In order for the marriage to take place, John has to persuade the conjuar woman (Barbara Clark) to make him human . The conjuar woman agrees to John's request if Barbara Allen and he stay faithful to see each other for one year. As the towns­people become actively involved in their relationship, John and Barbara Allen struggle for their love.

The spine-chilling opening scene sets the stage for the

entire play . Against a light red sky, Rosemary Petty does silouted dances to organ music. Petty glides from platform to platform in perfect synchroni­zation with the melody and shows off her expert dancing ability. The play opens to the right of the main stage on a paper-mache mountain with John and the conjuar man and woman talking over the terms of their deal .

A definite asset to the play is director Maleda McKellar's carefully planned set. McKellar has divided the stage into three parts and each shows her great love of detail. ·· Who else but McKellar would think of bring­ing actual trees into the audi­torium.

Dark of the Moon will con­tinue at 7:30 p.m. tonight and tomorrow. Tickets are on sale for $3 each.

Shreve gets honor at Byrd C.E. Byrd High School re­

cently presented Principal Sandra McCalla with a plaque, congratulating Shreve for its recognition by President Ronald Reagan and the U.S. Education Department as a model of excellence.

The assembly to honor Shreve began at 8 :20a.m . on Oct. 25 in Byrd's auditorium. Shreve's band , the guest of Byrd's band, played the national

. Four Shreve sophomores recognized as "solid students having a positive outlook on life," have been selected to serve on the leadership team of the youth wilderness program sponsored by Mothers Against Drugs (MAD), according to Judy Horne, senior counselor.

Ruthie Adams, Demmye Booras, Steven Booras and Ronald Davis, chosen by members of the faculty and ad­ministration at Shreve, will join sophomores from 10 other Caddo Parish high schools as group leaders for freshmen wanting to participate. in the drug-free program .

Participants will take back­packing trips throughout the

year to various regions of the United States, providing them the opportunity to have some "wholesome fun" in a drug­free, positive atmosphere, said Peter Bunce, executive director of MAD. During the trips, stu­dents will make video tapes to be used as drug prevention films depicting the drug-free environment and encouraging young people to get involved with the program .

In addition to serving as group leaders, the 44 sopho­mores, four from each school, will help in trip planning, orientating newcomers and assisting adult trip leaders, who will be parents and other members of the community . Freshmen wanting to be in­volved with the program must be

Legal killings wrong Did you know that the public op1n1on concerning the

death penalty is at its highest point in 28 years, according to a recent Gal lup pol l? President Reagan expresses regret at not having issued more executions while Governor of California. Since the Supreme Court allowed the death penalty all over again, more than 1,000 different citizens have been sentenced to death. "More executions are almost certainly on the way , " says Patricia Murray, death penalty coordi nator fo r Amnesty International.

Why is America so blood thirsty? Is it our age-old tendency ~ o point the finger the other way? Are we just trying to crack down on crime? Whatever the reason , capital punishment is wrong and no human being should be allowed to dictate the death of another.

Those who favor capital punishment argue that once a cr iminal sees h is buddies being knocked off, he will be less l ikely to go out and ki ll again . It is proven that executions have a corrupting effect on the general public. A Florida state law enforcement agency reported that after widely published executions, murders tended to increase by as much as 14 percent. They concluded that "the way we have carried out executions historically in the United States ap­pears to have contr ibuted slightly but significantly to the increase in homicides ."

And how shou ld we account for occasional human error? Earl Char les spent over three years on a Georgia death row for cr imes he had no part in . Suppose that after a per iod of time, an executed person is found to be innocent by some late break ing ev idence. How would you explain that to his loved ones? Can the U.S. Government make money compensate for the loss of a human life?

Chief Justice Warren Burger has what we feel is the best solution to Capital Punishment. He proposes "factories with fences" where criminals can pay for their room and board and even possibly make monthly payment to families who have lost their moneymaker. We feel this would allow all people to work off their sins and possibly repent from their wrong doings . After all, no one can be totally evil.

Line cuHers take over Lunch lines in the cafeteria are long enough without

having to worry about people cutting. For some unknown reason there are many students who don't seem to know what or where the back of the line is . They think that no one will care if they and a few of their friends (ranging anywhere from five to ten people) can just ease their way to the front of the line.

Whatever happened to the rule that if you are caught cutting you must suffer the consequences and go to the back of the line? Either some of the teachers on duty are blind or don't know what they're supposed to do while on duty because the cutting situation on all the shifts, but especially first and third , is getting out of hand. (This is not intended for those few "guards" who do keep their eyes open.)

Students wouldn't cut so frequently if they knew they couldn ' t get away with it. Therefore, teachers should be stern and punish the offenders so the students who don 't cut can get their plates and get finished eating before the bell rings. Furthermore, instead of the teacher standing off to the side of the lines, he or she should stand in between them, thus making it harder for the students to cut.

To all the student who have a lack of patience and can't wait their turn in line, the people you cut in front of do care!

And you think you've got problems

November 9, 1983

Teachers' sayings amuse writer Are they automatically pro­

grammed to say, "Detention " , "Tardy" and "Do you have a hall pass?" Do they retire to broom closets at 3 p.m. each day, put their brains on " hold " and emerge at 7:15a.m . the next morning? The answer to these "teachers-are-unemotional-bags­of-nuts-and-bolts " myths is a definite "no." Teachers some­times have the problem of being stereotyped as old, gray, prim , and proper when they really are normal and, sometimes, even human. Contrary to popu­lar belief, when a teacher becomes aggravated or dis­turbed, he or she doesn 't spin in circles with smoke pouring out of the mouth and nose like a broken Stepford wife. Teach­ers have little quirks and habits that make them unique to the human race, just as we all do , but some of their little sayings are stranger than others.

Why don't we start with our Key Club and Student Council

And another thing ...

Hair today It has come to my attention

lately, that the Princess of Wales has her hair cut once a week. Now that is a bit more excessive than most girls I know, but at the same time, I have no doubt that those same girls would be doing the same thing if they could afford it.

Just what is it exactly that causes both women , and some­times me, to have such a fasci-nation for the arrangements they wear on the top of their heads? Hair is quite simply dead cells that are lubr_icated with body oils, and then pushed up through little canals that are scattered all over the top of the head. That sounds a bit gross when you stop to consider that we wash and comb all of those dead cells on a regular basis.

Hair, of course, does have its uses, such as keeping the old "noggin" warm during the winter, and twirling it when one is nervous. I have even heard

advisor, Jack Bogan? Famous quotat ions from the "Bogan Book" include, "Oh , I 've seen better bodies in a cemetary! " , "I wouldn ' t know either if I looked like you, with your J .C. Penney mix and match!" and "Ross , son, what are, you doin '?"

Sophomore sponsor and English teacher Dot Sibley runs a close second with sayings such as, "Now, kids, it gets back to this idea of . . . , "Y'all , that 's beautiful writin '," and "Di­gression! Digression!"

Speech teacher Maleda Mc­Kellar uses terminology that is foreign to any other human mind . "Come on , Bufas heads!"

"Go boop!" and "Pookey ele­phants" just haven't found their way into my vocabulary yet!

Every time Carol Zaffater , AP English teacher , says, " Listen my children, " I think I'm going to hear "Paul Revere's Ride" and I 'm convinced that Team teacher Georgie Lee will soon need a new set of choppers, because if she isn't preaching on "sin and corruption," she's gnawing on her glasses.

Math teacher Jo Amy Wynn bathes in chalk dust while Sheri Childs, AP English teach­er, has, "Aha experiences" and Free Enterprise teacher Jasper Jordon advises students to "stop flapping their long lips, " as Russell Pedro, Mechan­ical drawing, warns against "burn in' daylight. "

that some girls use the excuse, "I have to wash my hair," quite often , though I have never encountered that par­ticular excuse before.

Hair can also be a bother, like when you get all hot and sweaty and it gets in your face. No matter what anybody says, hair is a pain to wash and comb, and everybody has had the experience of getting a stray strand of hair in the mouth, and spent five minutes trying to get it out.

In ancient Greece, the "mod­ern man and woman" just couldn't be seen in public without the latest style atop

their heads, and what kind of man would you have been in the eighteenth century without a snow-white wig? When you look at it though, hair really doesn't serve that big a purpose. When guys observe the curves of a pretty female, he is hardly talking about the curls atop her head. Hair keeps hats from falling off as easily, and it certainly lends a hand in keeping hair ribbons on, but if nobody ever had hair, the world wouldn't be a whole lot different (with the possible exception of the elimi­nation of Rapunzel).

In the late 60's and early 70's , parents were hard-pressed to get their children to get hair cuts. Today, however, parents are being asked regularly for $10-$12 in order to get a haircut. I really shouldn't be complain­ing though , because, hey - the barbers are doing great at a time when not a whole lot of other people are.

Half days Dear Editor,

There are always days where we are required to come to school for a half day. Why is it that we can't come in the later part of the day? It shouldn ' t be that harmful to those few early risers, but it would be a great help to those of us who have a hard time getting up before noon. Instead of taking off 50 percent of the day, '"t's add 50 percent to the night.

Letters to the Editor

Cokes Dear Editor,

I, as a concerned student , a junior , would like to voice my opinion about the cokes served to us at our home football games. The cokes are in my opinion very flat and tasteless. For me the money I pay is not worth it , and a glass of cold water would suit me as well. I would feel sorry for even Southwood fans if they were served these drinks.

I think it is a reflection on our school that the whole community can taste. I personally don ' t wish people to think Captain Shreve is a cheap school. I don ' t think we should be em­barrassed this way and hope other people feel the same way .

Some action should be taken so we wi ll not h ~"P. to be em­barrassed over these awful soft drinks . Hopefully, the people who run the stands will realize this and change it in some way.

If no act ion is taken , then possib­ly even giving the stand to another group who can give students and fans quali ty re­freshments would be a better solution .

Name withheld by request

Candy money Dear Editor :

I 'm I ivid about the excessive candy sales at Shreve . What is th is - a school , or a candy shop? It seems like every campus organization is sell ing the stuff , which makes it impossible to sell. I 'm certainly not going to buy a bar from someone when I 've got to sell my own off! What really makes me boil though , is that my assigned case of M&M's was stolen , so I had to pay $30 for my grades. I ' II drop out before I sell another piece of candy .

Josten's offers original Shreve ring by Elizabeth Harrison Reporter

Ring order time for next year 's seniors 1:s approaching quickly -Nov. 15. The time has come for a once-in-a- lifetime buy and the seniors of '83 have big decisions to make about that special ring . The fadt that most students don ' t · kf]ow is that there is an original class ring designed especiallY for Shreve and handled by Leo Sanford of Josten 'sl in Shreveport.

In 1967, the year that Shreve was established , a committee of faculty members interviewed four ring companies and decided on what iWas then Star Engraving Compan,y. A cross-section of students was then added to the committee and decisions were finalizeq concerning the design of the ring. At this point Shreve had no mascot. The gatur had not been adopted as a pant of school spirit , so the commit~ee decided on a picture

Lee

of Captain Henry Miller Shreve, the school 's namesake, for one side of the ring. Other decor included a picture of the school , the graduation date, a magnolia flower, and French fleurs-de-lis . The original stone was limited to dark green, but later a yellow stone was optional.

Four to five years later, the gator was chosen as the official

Jordache

scnool mascot for Shreve and the ring committee decided that the gator was an important part of school spirit and needed to go on the ring . Star Engraving Com­pany , now Josten 's, was con­tacted and artwork began on the new "original " r ing . This ring is still the most popular and most frequently purchased by Shreve students, although other jewelry

BACKTALK:

Christmas What should be done to enhance the Christmas spirit at Shreve?

Dessie Adger, teacher " Involve the entire school in activities , like maybe a door decorating contest or a food drive to help the needy ."

Spencer Reisinger, junior " I think we should have a Christmas spirit week with activities to enhance the Christmas spirit. •

Michelle Murray, sophomore "I think we should have some kind of contest between the classes , like door decorations or Christmas spirit contests between classes .

Sheila Sherman, junior " I think we should put up a Christmas tree and decora­tions all over the school. If we could get the classes involved in the Christmas spirit by having contests and different things, it would be great .

Brian McBride, freshman "I think anything that involves the students in promoting the Christmas spirit is great. Christmas pep rallies , a dance and decorations would bring the feeling of Christmas closer to the school . •

Michelle Williams, senior "Having a Christmas dance, a pep rally, decorations and a Christmas tree would make the school and stu­dents feel more of the Christmas spirit. We should have a contest where the classes decorate a specific area of the school .

stores offer different rings. The original includes a gator, the date of graduation , the state of Louisiana, and the founding date of Shreve .

Leo Sanford , Josten 's repre­sentative, explains that only four schools in Shreveport have rings designed especially for them : Shreve , Loyola, St. Vincent 's Academy and Byrd . According to Sanford these rings are a "once-in-a-lifetime buy. " Sanford knows that his competitors offer various choices for a variety of prices, but he

still says , "Why not buy a special school ring with special school spirit? When you look back on it , it means more. It will bring back good memories ."

School rings today can be designed in almost any way a student wants. Any mascot can be put under the stone, initials can go on top of the stone and anything can be put on one side of the ring. But this "special" original Shreve ring will be one which you share only with past Shreve graduates and Shreve students to come .

----4~--------------~--------------~--------~--------Which of nature's seasons are you?

What do nature's four seasons have to do with the colors you wear?

They have a lot in common according to Carole Jackson, the author of Color Me Beauti­ful. In Color Me Beautiful, Jackson groups you according to your eye color, natural hair color, and skin tone into one of the four seasons. The Winter generally has pale, blue tinted skin with contrasting hair. The Summer woman usually has rosy, pink skin with either blonde, light brunette or dark ash brown hair. An Autumn woman has ivory or peach skin tones and her hair usually has red or gold highlights. The Spring woman also has ivory or peach toned skin; however, they will be more fair. A Sprihg will probably have auburn hair and some are blonde as children, but the hair gets darker with age. Nevertheless, a few remain blonde.

The Winter's colors are in contrast with her coloring and hair. The Summer has soft colors and the Autumn has both muted and vivid colors. Spring's colors are clear , delicate and

by Helen Haley

bright. Her colors should never be dark or muted . No matter what your season, you can wear most any color. It's the intensity and the shades of the color that make the difference. For ex­ample, the only season that can wear pure white is Winter , but Summers can wear soft white, an Autumn can wear oyster white and Springs can wear ivory. The Winter's and Sum­mer's colors have blue under­tones, while Spring's and Autumn's colors have yellow, orange and gold undertones.

Find Your Colors First - Select basic colors

you have worn with success and gotten compliments on . Do you look best in the cool colors of Winter and Summer or in the warm colors of Autumn and Spring?

Second - You must figure out your coloring. Look at your­self in a mirror near natural daylight. If you color your hair, try to remember your hair's natural color. Take note of your skin color, without make-up. It might help to compare the tone of your wrists and palms with the color of a friends . This will help you to tell the difference in blue­toned skin and gold-toned skin.

Once you begin to wear your right colors you should notice your complexion is smoothed and clarified. The correct colors will minimize lines, shadows and circles. They will also give a healthy color to your face.

Some well known Winters are Elizabeth Taylor, Cher, Jacque­line Onassis, Audrey Hepburn , Jaclyn Smith and Sally Field . Some popular Summers are Queen Elizabeth, Cheryl Tiegs, Farrah Fawcett and Candice Bergen . Well known Autumns are Carol Burnett, Katharine Hepburn, Lucille Ball and Vanessa Redgrave . Some well known Springs are Sally Struth­ers , Zsa Zsa and Eva Gabor, Marilyn Monroe, Julie Andrews and Debbie Reynolds.

None can compare to Nicky's Imagine the sun setting above

a Mexican City, brightly colored sombreros and serapis , stucco walls, and light Mexican music in the background to add the final touch.

Walking into the new Nicky's Mexican Restaurant located at 6607 ·une Avenue, is the next best thing to walking across the border for dinner. There are a number of Mexican restaurants in Shreveport, but none compare to the Mexican atmosphere and food of NicKy's.

Nicky's is definitely moderate in price considering the amount of food and good service ren­dered . Most of the larger dishes of combmation dinners are under $5. Their special meals of steak and chicken are under $10.

We chose to try the Special Burritos Supreme, and Nicky's Special, both for $4.55. Once again, we succeeded in choosing a meal that is served in massive

by Pam Benecke, Macie Mcinnis

amounts. Both are served on a flour tortilla. The Burritos Supreme is made with Chili Verde, pork meat, (which is unusual, but great for Mexican food) beans with Chili Con Queso, and Mexican rice. The Nicky 's Special consists of beans, cheese, lettuce, pork meat, jalapenos, avacados, sour cream, and black olives . Each one can certainly be con­sidered "a meal in itself".

For those who prefer the usual Mexican dinners , they serve enchiladas, tamales, tacos , nachos, and flautas for under $5. For a change of pace , you can have Mexican style eggs,

served with rice and beans for under $4. For dessert, the Flan, a Mexican custard topped with caramel, and the Braze Gitana, a Mexican cake stuffed with pineapple, are both under $2.

One thing that gives Nicky's food such high quality is the time put into preparing it. A special note is added to the bottom of the menu asking the customers to please be patient because they cannot and will not substitute quality for speed. Although the service was far from slow, the results of the time spent made it well worth the wait.

Price very much worth what you pay

Food- excellent, unique Service- friendly, hospitable Location- 6607 Line Ave.

Sean Connery does it again Hero of the day, James Bond,

as played by Sean Connery, has done it again in the new action packed Warner Brothers Production of "Never Say Never Again."

The story is based on the theme of two nuclear bombs, which have been stolen by SPECTRA. SPECTRA is the typi­cal evil force that concentrates on stealing and lots of tyranny.

James Bond is pursued by a beautiful SPECTRA agent called Number Twelve, Barbara Carrera. This she devil, like every other bad guy in the 007 movies, tries to kill Bond several times. She uses the typical bomb under the bed, the ever popular "go get him shark" tactic and the unforgettable "let's seduce him then kill him" idea.

Bond is led through many underwater scenes. directed by

by w Jenny Keith ~

Paul Beeson, which are beautiful and unforgettable. But one scene really catches the audience's complete attention. The scene centers on Bond who is being pursued by several vicious and hungry looking sharks, which, although they aren 't huge, they are not small and do; give Bond a really good chase.

Sean Connery is truly the James Bond in this movie in all his actions and reactions. Of course, Bond has a traditional ending to this perfect movie with a girl and himself locked in an everlasting embrace. How cute.

Steelers miss injured Bradshaw by ScoH Pohlkamp Sports Editor

Something is missing from the Pittsburgh Stealers. Although they are in first place (as usual), they are there for different rea­sons than they have been in the past. Chuck Noll and Co. have relied on the best rushing of­fense in the NFL instead of using the running game to complement the passing game.

It is hard to believe that the Stealers don't have a repre­sentative among the top 10 receiving leaders in the AFC. Where are you John Stallworth? Well, John has been there but the passes haven't. Why? Be­cause some kid by the name of

by Scott Pohlkamp

Cliff Stoudt is substituting for the irreplaceable "Blonde (Not any more) Bomber• Terry Bradshaw. And it sure is tough to replace a guy who wears four Super Bowl rings by averaging less than a touchdown pass a game. Bradshaw had his shoulder operated on in the off-season and is yet to return because he re-injured it trying to come back too early. He is currently working

out in Pittsburgh and expects to come back, but it may be at least a few weeks. But until then, Steeler fans, you' II have to be content with a guy that was put on the injured-reserve list with a broken hand after missing a punching bag and hitting a wall at a bar last year.

I sure am going to be glad when old #12 is back at the helm in Three Rivers Stadium. Then perhaps Stallworth will be near the top of the receiving list again and the Steelers will be able to disguise their offense by bal­ancing it. After all, what would a winter in Pittsburgh and the AFC playoffs be without Brad­shaw?

Tulane, LSU have problems by Fred Holland Reporter

With this year's football sea­son already turned to the second half of the year, there are several unorthodox, unex­plainable, and surprising teams in Louisiana.

Northeast Northeast looked to be headed

for a possible Southland Con­ference Championship at the start of the season, and at present is still right on course.

The Indians are undefeated in conference play, and have lost only one overall, and it looks as if they could go undefeated and win their first Southland Con­ference Championship.

of their energy to play each other. Neither team seems to be interested in trying to win a football game of any signifi­cance, and both look as if they are being coached by Eddie Biles and John McKay.

Nevertheless, if either team will "perk up" and improve their record, they could be looking at a possible Independence Bowl bid. However, if they continue to lay down and let their op­ponents stomp on them, the only bowl appearance they will make, will be the one where LSU plays Tulane in the Super Dome in the last game of the season.

Sampson shines in NBA debut by Scott Pohlkamp Sports Editor

All eyes were on Houston Rocket rookie Ralph Sampson Saturday, Oct. 29. It was his regular-season NBA debut and he performed quite nicely in front of a Houston crowd of over 14,000.

Sampson didn't exactly have a spectacular game, but it was good enough to help his team to a 106-100 victory over rival San Antonio. Sampson appeared very

tense in the first two minutes of the game, in which he missed his first two shots. However he quickly broke the ice by swishing a 15-foot jumper. He finished the game with 18 points, 12 rebounds, a good number of blocked shots, and held Spurs' great center Artis Gilmore to a paltry 16 points.

The Rockets and Sampson all seem to be off to a good start considering they (without Samp­son) lost 68 of 82 games last year.

Craig gets High on life by Mark Dyba Reporter

Sometimes, it all rests on his shoulders. He can add the points to win the Gators another foot­ball game, or he can move with the slightest inaccuracy and send us to defeat. But Shreve senior Craig High is fully prepared to accept his responsibilities as kicker.

"There are certain times when things are dependent on you, " he says with his characteristically friendly grin . "I expect a lot out of myself." However, High adds that, " I'm not always doing what I 'm capable of doing . How did I start off? I missed the first extra point of the year. I took it pretty hard . Stupid things -a lack of concentration . " He was referring to the Gators loss to West Monroe, which was a result of his missing a crucial kick .

H igh exercises great self­control, which assists him as a kicker. "A kicker has to stay at one level - you can ' t be too excited - but you can ' t be too met lowed out. You have to keep a steady rhythm ."

In addition to his football work, High participates in a wide array of other activities

such as soccer, basketball , and softball. In the last year, he has played softball for the Broad­moor Baptist Church, been active in the Shreveport Youth Soccer League, and played in his church basketball division. An active member in the Gator Fellowship of Christian Athletes , he also enjoys the youth programs at First Methodist Church in Shreveport. Fishing and hunting are also activities that he in­dulges in with zest.

"My goal last year was to letter," he says rather matter of factly. "This year, my goal is to hopefully do well, and get a scholarship . " He may be on his way to fulfilling that. With a successful season on the field almost behind him , Nichols State University in Thibadeaux, La. has contacted him about his kicking abilities . Seemingly impressed with High, he believes that he could probably "kick for them now . " He isn't idly sitting by though, expecting to go to Nichols State. Letters have been mailed to coaches at several universities throughout this area of the country. But until his future plans are realized, CraiQ High will just have to

High tries to place his prior­ities in prospective, but finds that it is easier said than done. "The things that I would l ike to have first and the things that are first are two different things."

In an effort to bring back some of the money saved on utility expenses, the Student Council is participating in a school utility waste reduction program called the "Energy Council."

The program involves each school's submission of a report to the board on ways to reduce energy waste in the various schools. In turn, the school board will return 50 percent of the · money saved this year in com­parison to a base figure of the iast five years to the school's materials and supplies fund.

Principal Sandra McCalla feels that any utility reduction here might be minimal due to Shreve's inefficient climate

control system. She points out that several thermostat units are malfunctioning, and the air system seems to be "either on or off." This is why many stu­dents notice that Shreve is either very frigid or uncomfortably stuffy.

Even with this in mind, Mc­Calla doesn't undermine the importance of this program.

Student Council advisor Jack Bogan urges students to contact Council members and provide them with suggestions on ways to reduce energy waste at Shreve . The Energy Council's first report is to be submitted on Nov. 30.

Cheaters may not care • by Lisa Norman Reporter

1. Have you ever looked on another person's paper while taking a test? Yes No

2. Have you ever got the answers of the test ahead of time from a friend who has already taken the test? Yes No

3. Have you ever helped someone while they were taking a test? Yes No

4. Have you ever used a "cheat sheet" during a test? Yes No

5. Have you ever taken a quick glance through your book or notebook while taking a test? Yes No

If you have answered yes to at least one of the above ques­tions, then you are an average student at Captain Shreve.

A cheater. Most students at Shreve

often cheat and most are not embarrassed to admit it. Two Shreve journalism classes, con­sisting of 56 students in all grade levels, recently answered questions concerning cheating -the how's and why's of it all.

Although attitudes concern­ing cheating vary from student

to student, most of the students interviewed looked at cheating as "an everyday routine - a fact of life." Cheating is not something that bothers their conscience. They simply don 't care . Junior Bubba Roark said (and others in the class agreed), "If I know I've got the chance .. . I'll cheat. "

While the majority of the students had basically the same apathetic attitude, a few took a different viewpoint. From the classes interviewed, a few stu­dents (six out of 56) actually admitted that they don't cheat.

What keeps people from cheat­ing? "People are afraid they'll get in trouble - get caught," was one answer. Another stu­dent, junior Audria Jones, added, "It makes me nervous, I am afraid people will notice." Junior Evan Lincove said, "I don't care enough to cheat."

What about the other people - the majority? What makes them cheat and why do they do it? One reason , given by junior Bill Clair , as to why people cheat was "so they can make A's ." The majority of the stu- · dents agreed that they cheat mostly for better grades. But

• •

they also admitted they would do it even if they weren't after a better grade - just because of the "convenience" of cheating. Most students also agreed that pressure brought on by the parents about the demand of making good grades encouraged them to cheat.

Even so, some will not cheat in all classes and some will cheat for no apparent reason at all . "A class I don't like and don 't want to study for is a class I will cheat in," said junior Jeannie Webb . "Some people find the thrill of cheating; they think it's fun, like a game," replied Melissa Abney, freshman.

Out of all the reasons given for cheating, the students generally agreed that the teach­ers play a very important role in cheating . For instance, students pointed out that many teachers have said and threatened re­peatedly, "If I catch you cheat­ing I will give you a zero." But hearing that and seeing that done are two different things. "Most teachers are too lax,• said one person . "Some teachers realize that their students are having a hard time in class, so if they see it (cheating) just

• • • but teachers really do! by Macie Mcinnis Assistant Editor

For as long as most students can remember, they have been told, by both parents and teachers, that cheating is a dishonest way to make good grades and doesn't pay off in th end. On the first day of school, rules are set by teach­ers in various ways, and cheating is one forbiddance they never forget to stress . Even so, stu­dents continue to cheat , and teachers continue to tell them not to.

"Thou shalt not cheat," is one Shreve English teacher 's way of warning students against cheating. Other teachers choose

to take a stricter stand, such as contacting parents, having con­ferences with the parents, stu­dents , and principle , or giving a "0" on the cheater's paper. Whatever the choice is, students catch on quickly to which teach­ers follow through on promises concerning the consequences of cheating .

According to many teachers, students are faced with the opportunity to cheat everyday, whether it be on a test, home­work, or daily class assign­ments. Uncovered answers tempt students to look on some­one else 's paper , if only to com­pare answers .

warn students against cheating, not all of them carry out their threats after the " forbidden crime " has been committed . One Shreve teacher, who does not grab the cheater ' s paper and draw a big red "0" on it, has a short but to-the-point philosophy about cheating: "God ' ll get them in the end. " She said there will always be cheaters , but when it comes time to decide between a C- and D + , the cheaters will be the disappointed ones be­cause the teacher will remember their cheating and penalize them .

Contrary to this philosophy is a senior English teacher 's out­look on cheating. When asked about the main reason for stu­dent cheating , she replied, "Most I see are smart, but need immediate feedback . They have a lack of confidence in their own answers ." In most circum­stances , there are no second chances in this teacher 's class; nor second glances from the students if she can help it. However , if there is a doubt in her mind that cheating has oc­curred, she may give a second chance, but a cheater's paper is taken up and given a "0" .

"It's the finding that's the difficult part, n says another English teacher. "In a class of 35 students, it 's hard to be everywhere at once." Because of this some cheating goes un­noticed .

Having not taught in so long another Shreve teacher says, "I have been appalled at it because I've been away so long. 1 see more stress on grades now than ever before . People should

one time, they might let it go," added another student. Some students even feel that teachers ask for their students to cheat by doing such things as leaving test keys lying on their desks, by placing the desks too close to one another, and by turning their heads the "other way" during a test. So the students take advantage and cheat.

Who are the cheaters? Ac­cording to students , the cheater fits into four basic categories:

1. The compulsive or habitual cheater

2. The impulsive cheater 3. The prepared cheater 4. The "helping" cheater First , the compulsive or

habitual cheaters are the ones who cheat all the time . A com­pulsive cheater cheats not really because he has to, but mainly because of habit. Often, he is a student who generally makes poor grades, but just as often, he will be an enriched student who may or may not have studied . Out of both classes interviewed, no one admitted to being a compulsive cheater, but in both classes 50 students out of 56 did admit to being impulsive cheaters.

An impulsive cheater is one who cheats on impulse. He is one who cheats just "because it's there ." He generally cheats to reassure himself about an answer or to compare answers. The impulsive cheater will

resume responsibilities for their actions . I think cheating is a cop-out."

Taking a lighter point of view is yet another English teacher who says, "You'd be surprised how many teachers keep on and on giving threats, but seldom carry them out. I ' II be the first to tell you that I am one. I can't see taking up a student 's paper for glancing once, when someone a little sneakier using a cheat sheet could get away with it unnoticed. So I just say 'Get your eyes on your own paper.'"

This point of view is more in line with responses students gave concerning teachers' attitudes towards cheating . In a spot survey, 50 out of 56 students said most teachers never carried out their threats. Only three out of 50 who claimed they cheat frequently said they had even gotten caught and stopped with a "0". Others said that they had either gone un­noticed or the teacher just "ignored " the incident. Still

rarely prepare ahead of time to cheat.

A prepared cheater is the one who knows he didn't study and knows he is going to make a bad grade unless he cheats. Therefore, most prepared cheaters come to class with the famous "cheat sheet." The majority of the students inter­viewed admitted at one time or another that they went to a class as a prepared cheater.

The last category of cheaters is one which some students don't really consider cheaters . These cheaters are the ones who help other students during a test. They will turn their test so a "neighbor" can see it, pass homework out to be copied, or perhaps , whisper an answer to a "needy" friend . Also under this category would fall the people who supply friends with all the answers prior to the test time. Most of the students consider this cheating, but believe it's not as bad. "It is cheating, but it's not as bad for the student because you're not in the class

· deceiving the teacher," said senior Elizabeth Harrison.

Whoever the person and what­ever the reason, cheating is a favorite "pastime" during class at Shreve.

To some people - especially teachers - it is a very big problem. To others - espeically students - it's merely a "fact of life."

others said the teachers just made more empty threats, again warning them that if they didn't stop cheating, they would get a zero.

Whatever the case may be, the fact remains that there are still those teachers who do not stop their students from cheat­ing . Are they afraid to embarrass their students? Are they afraid they will get on the wrong side of their students, or do they just not care? Probably, some teach­ers would rather not believe students cheat in their classes, but we must face the fact that cheating does exist most every­day, and sometimes by the least expected students.

Most everyone has his own opinion concerning cheating, but there is one point the major­ity of people agree on. Cheating may seem the easy way out of making bad grades , but in the long run, it only makes life harder. As one person once said , "If God had meant for people to cheat , he would have made it easier ."
