Search leaves O.C. wondering
Usually, no news is good news.
In Otterbein's situation though, the lack of news about the presidential search and the potential candidates has led to some uneasiness among several people.
Although we've been informed that the presidential search committee over the past few months has remained in close contact with the consulting firm that is conducting the search, many in the Otterbein community believe they should be more informed about the company's activities.
So far, we know that the list of candidates has been narrowed from 300 to about 12, according to Edwin Roush, chairman of the Otterbein Board of Trustees and the presidential search committee. Of these 12, approximately five to six will visit Otterbein this month to tour the campus and interview with the search committee.
To help narrow the list, the search committee, with input from the faculty, developed last winter a list of qualifications that the company should identify in the candidates. According to Roush, he is "optimistic they (the consulting firm) have used these criteria and made selections on that basis."
Yet, the Otterbein community has received no reports on the types of candidates the firm has chosen.
On a campus which prides itself as an advocate of the "democratic way" it is little wonder several people are disillusioned by the closed search.
We realize a search of this size requires extensive amounts of time and effort among those involved. And, we realize the need to hire an outside consultant was probably inevitable, as the cost for Otterbein to conduct a search of its own would be staggering.
However, we fail to understand the significance of conducting a "closed" search in which the opinions of the members of the \ Otterbein community were never solicited.
Festival hinges on history
Those of you who are a little nearsighted should not confuse the college I.S. festival with the US festival held last year in California.
Besides being located in a different state, the I.S. festival deals with an entirely different subject matter.
This year's I.S. festival will be held from April I I-April 18 with wrap-up sessions conducted by individual instructors on April 19.
The festival, now in its third year, is a product of several professors' desires to bring together into the I.S program a greater student concern for historical events which have occurred in western cultures. According to Sylvia Vance, chairperson of the Integrative Studies Department, the founders of the festival "wanted to integrate more fully what individual (I.S.) classes were doing."
The themes of past festivals have reflected historical events which have had a profound effect in helping to shape our lives in today's world. In 1982, the festival was titled, "The Explosion of the Twentieth Century." In 1983, the theme was "Hard Times: The Thirties From Crash to Conflict."
This year the festival is titled: "Augurs and Bits: The Human as Predictor." This year's festival is also dedicated to the memory of John Coulter, who was the chief planner of this year's event.
This year, all of the upper division (junior and senior) I.S. classes about 400 students, will be participating in the festival. According to Vance, each year the upper- and lower-divisions alternate in taking part in the event.
Over the years, the festival has also gained more student involvement. Last year, several students took part in preparing a detailed time line that described life in the thirties. This year, the I.S. 30 class (Dilemma of Existence), taught by Marilyn Saveson, associate professor of English, will present views on the implications of George Orwell's 1984.
We would encourage all students, not just those in upper division I.S courses, to attend the festival events - its theme is the future, if nothing other than to get a little culture.

Is there an IS festival in your future?
Editor's Note: "Augurs and Bits: The Human as Predictor" is the title of this year's JS Festival. You'll need first to decipher the title (no, an augur is not 1·our grandfather's hand drill-that's ·an auger). The festival focuses us on the.future: an augur is afortune teller, a prophet. A bit? Just ask someone carrying a computer printout.
The ironic twist that is at the center of the Festival, though, is that the future is no longer far off This idea is captured gracefully by Art Professor Al Germanson in the design featured on the cover of the Festival brochure. The same idea is also at the heart of George Orwell's 1984, the novel which sparked the Festival's planners' interest in this topic at this time and which is being explored in depth by IS literature classes in preparation for three presentations today (at 9 and 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. in the Campus Center Arena Theatre).
We present below four brief pieces which provide some background about se veral of the important events in the festival
'Tuning to the future'
By Kris Lehman
The opening event of this year's Integrative Studies Festival took place· last night as members of the music faculty presented a program of 20thcentury music. Entitled "Tuning to the Future: Effects and Affects," the program featured a variety of contemporary musical styles incorporating sound, the spoken word, and silence.
"Music has been described as a tonal analogue for human existence," said Dr. Michael Haberkorn, assistant professor of music and co-organizer of the event. "Music reacts to its times," he added, pointing out that unlike Bach and other composers who wrote for the church or a patron, most contemporary composers "write simply to write." Twentieth-century music, Haberkorn said, is "man's reaction to his own environment."
Louise Earhart, co-organizer of the event, performed a composition for piano with a tape recording of electronic and natural sounds. "Music encompasses the whole gamut of reality," she said, adding that "all sound is music or can be musical; even silence is itself musical."
Haberkorn also cited silence as an important element in music and an ever-diminishing commodity in today's society To emphasize its importance, Haberkorn performed an entire work consisting only of timed silence.
In addition to encountering sounds they have never heard before. Haberkorn stated that he hoped last night's audience had acquired "an idea of music and its relationship to their daily environment that they never realized was there before."
Other participants in the program were Music Department, Morton Achter, David DeVenney, and Catherine and Craig Johnson.
'Clockwork'
By Susan Wiley
A famous astronomer, Richard VanderReit Wooley,once said, "Space travel is utter bilge." During his lifetime, the first space shuttle traveled through space.
Right or wrong, humans have played the role of predictor for years. They have observed the environment and attempted to gain a better understanding of reality.
How often have predictions been accurate? How often have predictions shaped the future?
The upcoming LS. Festival bases its theme on humans as predictors. Many of the programs propose interpretation of these questions.
Dr. Robert Place will discuss "The Science of Predictions and Guesses," in LeMay Auditorium, on Friday, April 13 at 11 a.m. He will cite examples of everyday predictions and give some insight into "crystal-ball gazers," alchemists, and modern day psychics.
Place will answer the question of error in speculation and show the importance of accuracy of prediction in everyday life.
Dr. Phillip Barnhart will talk about "Sciences Faees and Future: Hazards of Prophecy," 'on Monday, April 16 at 10, in Le May. He will also express a scientist's viewpoint in the three-way discussion of "The Human as Predictor," on Tuesday.April 17 at 7:30 p.m., in the Campus Center Arena Theater, along with Albert Germanson and Paul Redditt.
A display of quotations and illustrations compiled by Dr. Barnhart and David Stichweh will be on display in the Campus Center beginning Wednesday, April 11.
Barnhart will have examples of advancements from scientific predictions and skepticisms, scientists have when predicting.
Barnhart will also discuss characteristics which give more accuracy to predictions.
'Space travel'
By Melissa Haynes
Need something to do on Friday the 13th? Let me strongly suggest an IS Festival event, the film, "A Clock work Orange," showing in LeMay Auditorium at 3:30 and 8 p.m.
The film's screenplay was written by Stanley Kubrick, whose name you might recognize from such other films as "200 l: A Space Oddyssv" and "Dr. Strangelove." Kubrick's theatrical, overblown cinematic style does not always provide an easily digested film. His works are jarring, shocking, visually provocative.
"Clockwork Orange" is not for the weak-there is violence, a good deal of it: a group of lower-class British toughs rape and then kill a woman. Kubrick insists we see most of this act.
The film also puts us up against some other ugly concepts: the British tough convicted of the rape / murder is subjected to some rather futuristic (i.e., here and now) mind-altering therapies, relieving him of his sexually violent tendencies as well as his freedom of choice.
Which is worse: the hideous rape and murder? Or the "therapy" which will prevent the criminal from ever choosing again?
Kubrick and Anthony Burgess, the British writer whose novel Kubrick is adapting, seem to provide us with their answer in an interview published not long after the movie was released in
'Unpredictable
music'
By Kris Lehman
On Tuesday, April 17th at noon in the Battelle Auditorium, Dr. Morton Achter's I.S. 32 class will participate in "Unpredictable Music: Alea for One and One for Alea." According to Achter, chairman of the music department, "alea" is the Greek word for "dice." Aleatory music, then is music which involves elements of chance or randomness, like the tossing of dice.
Achter said his intention in selecting this experience was to play off of the festival theme of "The Human as Predictor" by delving into the realm of the unpredictable.
Aleatory music, also called random music, may involve chance in its composition, performance, or both. Composers may use dice, mathematical formulas or other random techniques in selecting pitches, degrees of intensity, or duration of notes when creating the work. They may also leave such decisions up to the random choices of those who perform the work. Often, aleatory music is arranged in sections which the performer may play in any order he wishes, forwards or backwards, etc.
Achter said Tuesday's event will involve a series of random exercises in 1971 "It is necessary for a man to have music undertaken by the members of a choice to be good or evil, even if he the class, with Achter serving as chooses evil. To deprive him of this i;oordinator. choice is to make him something less Aleatory music is one of the conthan human - aclockwork orange." temporary trends in music, Achter The IS Festival also features two added, but as to how major a trend it other films: "Animal Farm" (Monday is, he said, only "history will tell." at 3:30 and Wednesday at 4 p.m. in LeMay) and "Slaughterhouse Five" (Tuesday at 3 and 6:30 p.m. in LeMay).

Robert Stull exhibit is on display at Battelle
By Lora Robinson
"When I think about talking about my paintings I don't know what I'll say," said Robert Stull in his opening remarks Sunday afternoon. However, he proceeded to speak articulately and at length about the foundation of his work.
"I seemed to look at the world in a way most people who I grew up with did not," Stull said. He explained that he learned to see life through the eyes of his mother and an uncle. His uncle taught him much about the forest, so even as a boy he could find his way through a forest because he learned to read the signs. Very little sunlight penetrates the forest so it is important to learn these signs so you can tell which direction you are going, Stull said. "Life is like that," Stull said, "a
lot of complex things make it hard to find one's way."
Stull originally thought he'd be a lawyer, but started studying psychology. He came to believe, or discover that people evolved and were not created like he had been taught at home. This division of thought made him feel lost so he started looking for answers.
This search to find a balance between science and religion led him to study Zen Buddism for ten years. He stayed in Japan for two years living in Kcoto, in a house he built, working with his own homemade kiln.
While he was living in Japan he got a call that his sister was in the hospital in serious condition. He flew back to the United States leaving his cigar out in the ash tray and a covered pot on the wheel. He flew home to Japan and picked up where he had left off. "The whole world was different (since his sister had died) and yet it was the same," Stull said.
Attention: Otterbein Students Faculty and Staff
"Artwork is developing strength to realize we arc cultural bearers," Stull said. Culture bearers are people who have world view and is what all artists should be. Artwork is not a responsibility, but an opportunity to be accountable." Artists should be accountable to those who have come
before," Stull said. One problem Stull sees is that not enough artists and art critics are cultural bearers.
Stull went on to study African Art but found that the methodology of studying western art will not work for studying African art. Because Western art is seperate from life while African art is part of life. Stull agrees with the philosophy of the Africans toward their art. "Art is life, I believe," Stull said. "Then art ought to have an aesthetic value about it, life is the ultimate art."
"If we don't have foundations the whole thing will become meaningless," Stull said. Zen Buddism, African Art, his mother and his uncle were other important influences which shaped what Stull called his artistic foundation. Living in New York City, Stull used to listen to jazzand then go back to his studio and try to put the feeling from the songs into his work, but it did not come together for him. "They could put feeling in because they had mastered their equipment. I had not suffered enough pain yet," Stull said. "The musicians were talking through talent articulated by pain."
"I wanted to laugh all the laughter so I had to become strong enough to cry all the tears along the way," Stull said. "Now I consider myself an artist."
Stull reception is informative
By Lora Robinson
Robert Stull, the chairman of the Ohio State University art department, speaking at the opening of his one-man show at Otterbein, described himself as an artist who draws ideas from many cultures.
Stull's show reveals a variety of work: a scaled model of a children's and art are a part of each other, Stull said.
Stull made another stop during his art career to explore architecture. This interest is very apparent in his work. His fascination in how things are put together comes out through his originally designed canvases. Instead of painting on a square canvas, Stull has

Mastel's HR beats Witt
By Rich Klempay
The Otterbein baseball team continued its winning ways this week winning two games and losing one against their southern division opponents.
The Cards split a doubleheader against the Muskies of Muskingum, winning the first game 12-4 and losing the second 7-3. A combination of strong hitting and precision pitching gave Coach Fishbaugh his 300th career victory. Senior co-captain Dave Weaver and sophomore third baseman Dave Eckelberry led the Otterbein assault. Weaver went 3 of 5 with 2 RBIs and 2 runs scored while Eckelberry provided the power collecting 2 homeruns including a grand slam. Kirk McDonald recorded a complete game, raising his record to 4-1 while Doug Gates picked up the loss in the second game.
The Cards then faced the Wittenberg Tigers on Tuesday in a game in which the Cards fought back twice to win 8-7. Otterbein fell behind 5-1 early on and battled back to tie the score 6-6 in the bottom of the ninth. After Wittenberg jumped back in to the lead 7-6 in the top of the tenth, co-captain Dave Whitehead singled and one out later, Jon Mastel smacked his third home run of the year to win the game for Otterbein. The senior shortstop knew his time was at hand saying, "I haven't been hitting well as of late and I felt that I was due." Doug Gates (3-2) earned the victory with 6-1 / 3 innings of strong relief work.
Softball team
By Scott Cavanaugh
After two weeks of rainy weather, the Otterbein softball team opened its regular season Tuesday, as they dropped both ends of a doubleheader to Cedarville.
Both contests were close, with each victory being decided by one run. The first game was 10-9 and the second outing was 11-10.
Mental errors and first game jitters can be partially responsible for the opening game loss. In the second game however the Lady Cards let a big lead slip away in the late innings to allow Cedarville to make a solid comeback.
The team led the second contest I 08 going into the fifth inning, but three runs by Cedarville in the sixth inning gave them the lead and the victory. Otterbein would not go down easily though, loading the bases with two out in the seventh before falling Junior Lisa Sleith pitched both games for the Cards and according to head coach Amy Backus "put the pitches where they were supposed to be." Backus was not surprised at her team's lack of early sharpness, but hopes that the one-run losses will cease. "We lost 12 games by one run last year, and I hope this is not an indication of things to come."
The offensive star for the Cards was Kandi Kennedy, who had five hits in the two games. The rest of the OC offense was balanced between many hitters. The Ladies were scheduled to take on Marietta yesterday. The team will take the field next Friday, when they take part in a twelve team tournament at Capital University Friday and Saturday.
Otterbein travels to Marietta this Saturday for a doubleheader with the defending champion Pioneers. These two teams faced each other five times last season with Otterbein winning the battle three games to two, but losing the war in the NCAA championship final.
Tennis
By Scott Cavanagh
It was a busy week for the women's varsity tennis team, as victories over Ohio Wesleyan and Muskingum and a loss to powerful Wittenberg left them with a 4-2 record.
The ladies had a tough match with Wesleyan to start the week, but strong play from the top four singles positions kept the team in the lead and enabled them to capture a 6-3 victory. This victory was followed by a 9-0 whitewashing of Muskingum.
In both victories the team was led by the solid play of junior and top singles player Wendy Miller. Miller was followed in the order by Erin Workman, Nita Hugging, Amy Pangalangan, Teresa Huggins and Sherrie Shoemaker. The doubles combinations were Miller and Workman, Huggins and Lynn Peterson and Pangalangan and Ronda Gearhart.
The Wittenberg match was a strong but losing effort for the Cardinals. Although they dropped a 7-2 decision, the women were close in most of the matches, with both the first doubles and singles matches going three sets before Witt victories. The winners for the Cards were Huggins at third singles, and Sherrie Shoemaker at the number six spot.
Head coach Michelle Mill er was not disappointed with the match , in fact, she was pleased with her team's performance and optimistic about their chances for success the rest of the season. "I really think we played well." She said, "They (Wittenberg) are the defending state champions, and we were right in the match. Many of the matches could have gone either way." Miller was also pleased with her team's outlook on the season and their attitude toward winning. "I am really pleased with our team," the coach commented, "we have very good morale and team spirit. 1 think all of the players have a good idea of the team concept."
By press time the Lady Cards will have traveled to Kenyon to take on the Lady Lords. They will next see action Saturday, as they travel to Granville for a tri-match with Denison and Allegheny.
