I.S. theme made visible through Time Line display
By David Kimmel
As you walked through the campus center lounge this past week, you may have noticed large pieces of poster board with pictures and writing on the center wall.
What is this thing, and why is it in our Campus Center?
Well, this rather unimposing creation is the I.S. Time Line - the culmination of hundreds of hours of work by a small group of students and faculty.
"I think (the Time Line) is a major part of the festival simply from the standpoint of trying to make visible some of the major events that took place in this period of time ( 19291941 )," said David Stichweh, production supervisor and media specialist, and Photography and Layout Advisor for the Time Line project.
The Time Line consists of a series of panels arranged into yearly segments. Each segment has pictures and short bits of writing describing the major political, social, and economic events of the year.
Working with Stichweh were Dr. Sylvia ·Vance, associate professor of French and Chairman of the Integrative Studies Advisory Committee, and a group of seven students working in a
special honors course: Scott Bardall, Susan Carlson, Jennifer Hannah, Todd Johnson, Selena Swicher, John Thatcher, and Jane Willeke.
According to Vance, the students, drawn from a group who registered for the class, did the actual research for the project.
The work was divided among the students by areas - one took international events, another daily life, another entertainment, and so forth.
The students then brought their findings in front of the whole group, including Vance and Stichweh, and the long process of deciding what would go into the Time Line began.
"We had much more materials than we could actually put on the Time Line, because this period of time was just so active with so many things going on politically and economically." said Stichweh.
"Part of the challenge of the Time Line was in choosing in two ways: what were the most important events, and then, what we could get good pictures for," explained Vance.
After the editing film and taking more than 180 individual images. He then made a preliminary layout of each panel, printed the photos, and finally laid out the entire Time Line, including pictures and captions.

Stichweh stressed the time and effort that went into the Time Lineboth in research and in the actual layout-and hopes it will "live after the festival is over, then it would have some usefulness and be a continuing visual resource."
"We're very happy with the Time Line as Dave (Stichweh) put it to -
gether," said Vance, adding, "l very much enjoyed working with this group of students. It was a real pleasure."
This was the second Time Line made in connection with the l.S. Festival. Last year, Dr. Allison Prindle made a forty-year Time Line for the festival.
Fire equipment damaged by vandals in Mayne Hall
By Rose Shiplett
Vandals stole three smoke detectors, ruined a fourth, and vandalized a fire extinguisher last week in Mayne Hall, according to Chuck Castle, hall director.
The incident began Monday, April 4 about 3 a.m. when a fire alarm was set off in the hall. Apparently, someone pulled the alarm, said Castle.
Later the same morning at approximately 6:30 a.m. a second alarm went off. The second alarm sounded a little irregular, said • Castle. This irregularity was due to the removal of the smoke detectors. According to Castle, the three smoke detectors removed from the hall are connected to a timer on the fire alarm system. The timer lasts approximately· two hours and gives an initial warning to check the system. Castle said the warning was so faint that it went unnoticed. He added that if the fire alarm system is not checked after the warning signal j the fire alarm is set off.
According to Castle, two smoke dec.2 tectors were stolen from the fourth .le· foor and a third was taken from the third floor. The fourth detector was i: damaged by water apparently from the fire extinguisher. The fire extinguisher was found on the second floor near the water-damaged smoke detector.
All four detectors need to be replaced and the extinguisher needs refilled, said Castle. "Damages came to almost $900 for one night," he added. If the vandals are not found, the resi, dent's damage deposit will pick up the tab.
The smoke detectors cost about $ I 10 each. The college is also charged approximately $230 for each alarm the fire department responds to, according to Castle. And the fire extinguisher needs refilled.
Since the second alarm was a malfunction, Castle said it is still undetermined whether the college will be charged for it, he added.
Castle said that a resident noticed that some smoke detectors were missing around 4 a.m. but nothing was reported.
"We have some possibilities," said Castle. "I'm almost sure it was some people from the building," he added.
According to Joanne Vansant, vice president of student affairs, there is not a lot the college can do to prevent this kind of vandalism. "Even if vou had it (security) ar,ound the clock."

Survey produces favorites
We hadda ask. We hadda ask!
The T &C asked Otterbein about some of its most favorite things and received an avalanche of responses.
When Otterbein is in the mood for music, chances are it is either listening to its favorite group, Journey; its favorite song, Beat It; or its favorite radio statin Q-FM-96.
If the beverages are flowing while Otterbein is listening to music, drinkers of alcoholic beverages will most certainly be swilling a few beers, while teatotalers will be clamouring "It's gotta be Pepsi now."
As the party wears on and the munchies rear its ugly head, most Otters will be picking up the phone to order Westerville's best pizza-Alley. Or, if the bucks don't allow for such a feast, chances are Snickers will be the candy bar of choice.
Before this little scenario gets too jocular, someone has to bring up the subject of classes. (UGH). Otterbein's favorite l.S. class (if these is really such a thing) is l.S. 13. (Surely you recall talking about your favorite l.S. class at a party). And, if you were talking about l.S. classes at a party, it just might have been during the best campus party-the TEM-Club Blast.
Perhaps the reason the TEM-Club Blast is so popular is because those two Greek organizations were voted the best sorority and fraternity, respectively.
Those who would rather spend their free time in a darkened movie theater than at a party, were most likely viewing An Officer and A Gentleman or Tootsie.
Respondents who were actually watching the movies they went to see instead of standing in line at the concession stand (or doing other things), picked Burt Reynolds and Dustin Hoffman as their favorite leading men. Jane Fonda and Goldie Hawn topped the list for best leading ladies.
If none of the above sounds real interesting, you were probably one of the respondents who felt that The Thorn Birds was the best novel.
lf you would prefer watching a smaller screen in a smaller room, Dynasty is your best bet. If you do your TV viewing before the sun sets (like when you blow off your afternoon clases) General Hospital will keep you occupied.
If you tend to be the consciencious student who restricts television viewing to weekends only, Bugs Bunny is probably the comic relief for your harey Friday-night hangover.
Where did you most likely get that Friday-night hangover?
After The Gold Rush, of course.
There you have it, Otterbein's Bests for 1983. (You can bet we won't ask again).

We, however know the real reasons were financial problems, and uncaring alumni. Not one party that embarrassed the college.
Kings fraternity will probably never return to campus, as Zeta did, because there will be none to bring it back. The alumni will not be any help, and the active chapter is disgusted with the alumni. We do not want to see any other members having to put up with the same alumni we did.
More power to those fraternities and sororities that have the full support of their alumni And to those who do not have this support. Don't go broke.

Few students cross Ohio border to Otterbein
Editor's N o t e: Part Two of a threepart series
By Joy Grandstaff
The number of students coming to Otterbein from out of state is decreasing, according to William Stahler, dean of admissions.
Only 19 of the 338 freshmen who entered Otterbein this fall were from other states , said Stahler.
"The number was much greater about 10 years ago," he explained. "There are several theories for this, but the most likely is the merger between the Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethern Church," said Stahler.
When the merger occured, Otterbein became a United Methodist college. According to Stahler, this decreased a large draw from Western Pennsylvania which had strong E. U. B. ties to Otterbein.
"Quite a few students came here because of the E.U.B. affiliation and since the merger , that number was diminished ," said Stahler.
However, some students are still drawn across their state border because of religious affiliation. Kevin Chambers, a freshman from Youngsville, Pa., said that one reason he chose Otterbein was because it was a Methodist college.
"Many students come to Otterbein from other states because they know someone who attended Otterbein." - Stahler
"Anoth e r reas on for choo sing Otterbein was b ec a use three or four guys from m y high school came to Otterbein be fo re m e to run track, s o I did , too ," sai d Chambers. Recordholder Mark Burns is among the string of trackster s from Youngsville
"Many students come to Otterbein from other s t a te s because they know someone who a ttended Otterbein ," said Stahler.
Karen Slade , a freshman from Derry , Pa ., said that she heard about Otterbein becau se "her parents and grandparents went to school here.'"
"I heard about Otterbein from my family, but I actually decided to come here because of the music department. Otterbein is just a really good school,"
Slade said. Academic strengths seem to be a major factor in college decisions for other out-of-state students other than Slade.
"I knew I wanted to major in Equine Science so I just looked for a college that offered it. Otterbein seemed to be the best choice," said freshman Carol Segraves from Lombard, Ill.
Brent White, a freshman from Louisville, Ky., also came to Otterbein because of academics. "My theater teacher in high school suggested finding a small liberal arts college with a fine arts emphasis. So, I came to Otterbein," said White.
"Otterbein is just a really good school." -Slade
These students seem to be pleased with their choice to travel further to school, but Stahler hopes to increase this number.
"We are going to try some new ideas for out-of-state recruitment," said Stahler.
"We are doing something called a student search this year," explained Stahler. "We have signed up to receive the names of students who meet the criteria we have established for acceptance to Otterbein," said Stahler. We expect to receive around 40,000 names of students from Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Western New York and New Hampshire through the search," said Stahler. The pool of names will be generated by standardized tests such as the ACT and SAT.
"The next step is to send these 40,000 some people a letter informing them that they have met our criteria for admittance and telling them where they can write to receive additional information If they respond to this invitation, then we will mail them the information needed to apply," said Stahler.
"The admissions department's main concern is this program will be to do a good job of following up on the interested students by mailing the information as soon as possible ," continued Stahler.
Stahler said that the admissions office also hopes to establish more name recognition in Western Pennsylvania and the New England states involved in the search.
"Although the population is de-

creasing in these areas. we feel we can attract more s tudents with increased name recognition It would be too costly to try to move our recruiting efforts to where the population is increasing. We would spend much more than we would receive," said Stahler.
Stahler hopes to incre a se Otterbe in's name recognition by getting the alumni more involved in the recruitment process out of state. "We hope to find alumni who are willing to call or visit interested students from their area," said Stahler
"This will begin on a small scale. but we hope to increase the program as we succeed," said Stahler.
The admissions department is also planning to visit key high schools and college fairs in the states that usually contribute to Otterbein's enrollment.

Play provides I.S. Festival drama
By Charlotte Latvala
Last fall, the theatre department looked everywhere for a play to serve as a workshop production and to also tic in with the I.S. Festival No one could come up with a production that would fit the Depression motif. One day, Professor Ed Vaughan was walking down the hall with senior English major Les Epstein. Jokingly, he asked Les why he couldn't write a play for the purpose. Les's answer? "OK."
The result is "Huntington's Railroad." an hour-long play to be presented this Friday at 4 p.m. in the Campus Center Arena. The play is based on a strike taking. place at the General Motors fisher Body Plant in Michigan in 1937. The strike lasted six weeks and triggered a chain reaction of strikes across the country.
The play deals with its characters in depth. Vaughan sees it as "a vehicle for discussion of the Depression," because it brings up relevant questions. Why would men in the Depression, when
any job was a rare thing. put themselves on the line by striking? What conditions cannot be tolerated bv people. even in bad times?
Epstein believes "it's a positive play working with a negative issue. It shows the strengths of people to overcome their positions." The situation is a universal one. agree Vaughan and Epstein. The strike is a major American concept, and the themes of "Huntington's Railroad" are timely today.
Les says he didn't have much difficulty writing the play, which takes place over twenty years before he was born. Initially, he was looking for a short story to adapt, but gained an understanding of what the people in America believed in and fought for during the Depression, and wrote the play himself.
Epstein has been working on the play since last November. It is the third or fourth play he has attempted, but the first to see actual production. In the next few months, he hopes to develop it into a full-length play.

Remember last year when Otterbein was in an uproar over the issue of sexual harrassment? A fraternity's pledge class ran through the sleeping floors of Hanby Hall early one morning. The campus was divided on deciding whether this was actually sexual harrassment. The T &C printed letters by upset females which expressed their concern of the possible infringement

When we hear the worlds "sexual harrassment," we naturally assume innocent women have been insulted by sexist remarks spat by sweaty construction workers. This is not always the case. Men are also subjected to sexual harrassment, and recently I was a victim.

New major to begin following Senate approval
By Amy Cedargren
The newest major at Otterbein is a interdisciplinary public relations major. It has been approved at the departmental and divisional levels.
According to John Ludlum, instructor in the department of speech communications, the public relations major is "a more accurate labeling" of the major. In the past, this major was known as a speech major with a public relations concentration.
According to Ludlum, the former labeling did not give employers an accurate picture of the background of those students. Usually the public relations concentration is paired with theatre, journalism or English, and not speech. Ludlum said this new major eliminates several required speech courses the old major required. However, no shift in the faculty of the speech department is planned.
The new major, if approved by the curriculum committee and the Senate, will be an interdisciplinary major requiring courses in English, visual
arts, business, and speech. This will allow a student to choose courses from these areas and develop backgrounds more diverse than before.
One other curriculum change, added Ludlum, which will be necessary to implement the new major, is the addition of a class in public relations case studies. Before this class was proposed, only two public relations courses were offered in the curriculum. These courses are speech 30-principles of public relations, and speech 31public relations techniques. The proposed course would offer the public relations student a chance to apply the theory he learned in these first two courses.
Ludlum expects no real problems with the passing of the new major through the curriculum committee or the Senate, but he added, "some difficulties with the proposed case studies course may arise."
Students favor the new public relations major proposal because it better labels their backgrounds.
Portions of the play were rewntten as it was brought to rehearsal. Ed Vaughan believes getting to work with a student playwright, as well as a student director, is a worthwhile, "valid experience" for the student actors. Occasionally, Epstein would have "discussions" with the actors, to explain why certain lines should stay or go. The only changes have been minor ones.
"Huntington's Railroad" should provide an interesting, literally studentproduceJ,aspect to the LS. Festival. The performance is Friday at 4 p.m. and is free to everyone.
columnist relives horror
Pulling my Smurf blanket to my chin, I became frightened of the perfumed invaders. If I'm caught wearing this frilly pink nightgown, I'll be laughed out of the house (the gown didn't even match my lingerie).
The door was staying locked, I told myself. The only way a girl was getting in here was if she had the new Rex Smith album. Apparently, the pledges needed thigh and bicep measurements from fraternity members for a pledge activity. Now, if you are thick-necked, anvil-armed; and iron-thighed, this wouldn't cause a problem for you. your big head would swell even more when the tape measure barely made it around your bulging bicep. But if you are spaghetti-armed, twig-legged, and geek-necked like me, then this was down right sexual harrassment. Asking me to flex my arm is like asking a flat-chested woman to enter a wet t-shirt contest. No girl was going to have the chance

to laugh when she told me to flex my onecep, after I already had. I could not bear the thought of hearing my friends spout out their double digit measurements, while mine could've been totalled on a Cyclops' eye. My ears burned when I overheard one girl snicker, "Where's Dave Eisnaugle? You know, the guy that straps ankle weights under his shirt sleeves to make him look bigger."
The point I'm trying to get at, in a roundabout way, is women are just as guilty of dishing out sexual harrassment as men are. Society has stereotyped men as sexually aggressive beefcakes who crave female flesh, while women are dainty butterflies flittering to fragile cocoons. These stereotypes are just plain false. Can you picture Richard Simmons whistle wolfishly at some buxom blonde while grabbing his crotch? Have you ever watched a starving woman eat a banana? Kinda scary, ain't it?

Membership in Teleiotes indicates the student has made significant contributions to the College community in leadership and service in at least two different areas such as sports, campus governance' performing arts, media, religious activities, social service, Greek groups, etc.

Women's records set during invitational
By Dave Williams
The Otterbein women's track team ran and threw their way to success at the IO-team Oberlin Invitational last Saturday.
Three school records were set in the meet. In the discus, Candee Morris, a freshman, threw for 109'10". This bettered her record setting toss of 107' at the Ohio University Invitational two weeks ago. She took sixth place at the Oberlin meet. Freshman Anna-Maria Conti threw the javelin 75'6", 4'4" farther than the record she set at 0. U. Another freshman, Cindy Olsen placed fourth in the 200-meter dash with a time of 27 .8 seconds, another school record.
Sophomore Tyra Horn and freshman Candee Morris took third and fourth place respectively in the shotput event. Coach Jim Thoma said, "They finished higher than any other division Ill contestants." Horn threw 37'6" while Morris finished close behind with 36'8".
Others competing in the meet were freshman Natalie Lueders and sophomore Kathleen Neff. Lueders threw the shot-put 29' 11 ¾" and Neff ran a "strong race" in the 1500 meters, her first outdoor meet of the season according to Thoma.
Although the team has set seven school records in just t wo meets, Thoma is predicting "significant improvement as soon as the weather gets warmer."
Sleet, wind, hamper Card golfers

Bad weather hampered the Otterbein golf team this last week as they continued their quest for a berth in this year's National Invitational.
Mother Nature plagued playing conditions for the golf team, as they competed in two matches this past week.

Cardinal bats knock out Ohio Wesleyan
By Michael Sokolowski
The Otterbein Cardinals raised their record to 8-4-1 as they swept a doubleheader from the Battling Bishops of Ohio Wesleyan 5-0 and 6-1 on Tuesday afternoon. Pitching was the story as sophomores Kirk McDonald and Glen Alexander silenced the Bishop bats throughout the afternoon.
Ohio Wesleyan got only two hits off McDonald, both of them belonging to Fody Frentosos. McDonald went the distance while striking out seven. "He was the difference in the ballgame," headcoach Dick Fishbaugh said.
Otterbein started their scoring in the second inning when captain Mike Blythe singled in Captain Bret Brownfield. The Cards came right back in the thrid when John Mastel singled, stole second base, and came home on a Brownfield single. The Cards picked up two more runs in the fourth as freshman designated hitter Tim Harris

The other day I had this feeling overcome me. Only God knows why, but I had the urge to return to forecasting. Why? You ask. Why? Didn't you get enough abuse trying to guess the NFL games for two seasons? Yes, l did have enough of not coming close to a respectable record and that's why I quit and opted for a column last fall.
launched his first homerun of the campaign bringing home catcher Mike Goodwin. "Tim really got us started with that hit," Fishbaugh added. Otterbein added an insurance run in the sixth inning when Jim Hoyle doubled and came home on Jeff Jarrett's single. 1v1cDonald raised his record to 4 and I on the year, with five complete games and an E.R.A. that is hovering near the 2.30 mark.
In the second game, neither team could muster any scoring threats until the fifth inning. Here, the Cards exploded for five runs on four hits. Dave Whitehead started the inning by walking. Coach Fishbaugh then replaced Whitehead with Doug Beeler for added speed on the basepaths. Harris then singled moving Beeler to second. Goodwin stepped up and singled to load the bases for left fielder Jim Hoyle. Hoyle smacked a sharp single to right knocking in Beeler. After Mastel forced harris at the plate, Jarrett responded again with a base clearing double. "Jarrett came through for us today," Fishbaugh said, "It was
a real clutch hit." Jarrett, a freshman from Worthington, collected four R.B.l.'s on the day. Otterbein scored once more in the sixth inning on singles by Blythe, Goodwin and Hoyle.
Left hander Glen Alexander lost his shutout in the seventh as Wesleyan tallied their only run of the day. "Glen settled down and pitched well," said Fishbaugh, "When he's intense, he's very good." Alexander displayed a blazing fastball and excellent curve ball as he struck out six Bishops.
The Cards had two doubleheaders raised out against Wright State and Capital this past weekend. "The weather has not been kind to us this season," Fishbaugh said, "we've got guys like Hartman, Gates, Conrad, and Henderson who have't had the chance to pitch much." The Cards have had close to IO games rained out thus far this season.

Hut, this is different, really! This time I'm going to try baseball, and I'll do it all in one shot with the winners in every division at the end of the season. l still have the feeling it may be another shovel full of dirt in my grave. For what it's worth, here is who to bet on for October (ex-OSU quarterbacks excluded).

Netters improve record, down Heidel berg and Cap
By Pam Clay
The Otterbein men·s tennis team increased their winning record to 4-1 in their last two matches defeating Heidelberg and Capital.
Last Tuesday, the men's team played Heidelberg College defeating them 5-4. "This has been our best win so far this season," said Tom Nelson, head coach for the men's tennis team. "They beat us 8-1 last year."
Over the past weekend, the team played in the Sinclair Invitational in Dayton. Other teams participating in the tournament were Sinclair, Lakeland, and Vincennes. "We came in second and we were within one point of winning the team championship," said Nelson, In the Sinclair tournament, the doubles team of Scott Cavanagh and Don Morris were doubles finalists. These two men got the farthest of any of the other Otterbein players in the team to·1rnament.
In last Thursday's match against our cross- town rivals, Capita!, the Otterbein team shut out the Crusaders 9-0. Capital is not as strong this year because they are rebuilding and they lost their top three players, accord
According to Nelson, the team is improving along with competition.
The team is now 3-1 in Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) play. "Our singles play is getting dependable and we are beginning to do some good things in our doubles play," said Nelson. The team's next match is today against Walsh College beginning at 3:30 p.m. at the Westerville Racquet and Tennis Club.

The Cubbies have the basement wrapped-up already. Watch for the Cards to give it a good shot, but they will come up short. The rest of the division will flounder.
National West: San Diego Atlanta Cincy San Francisco
Los Angeles Houston
The Reds' big comeback falls just short in the West. Actually anyone could take it except the Astros. They are still bad.
American East: Boston Cleveland New York Detroit Milwaukee Toronto Baltimore
Another real close division although none of the teams are strong enough to get past the AL west champ. The Bosox boast the best offensive outfield in baseball.
American West: Chicago Oakland California Seattle Kansas City Minnesota Texas
Chicago finally gets a champion of some kind. This too could go another way with the Angels and Royals still solid clubs. The Twins need to improve a lot more to get respect.
As you can see, I have gone out on a limb with most all of my picks. But I said hey, what the hell! I'll be long gone when this October comes along and my Cinderella teams are left holding their pumpkins after the ball. (I know, I'm pushing it with that one.)
The rookies of the year will be Gary Redus of the Reds and Ron Kittle for the White Sox. And personally I think Greg Brock, the Dodgers candidate for their fifth straight rookie of the year will founder at first and Tommy Lasorda will be having bad dreams about Steve Garvey. (Can you tell that I like the Reds, and not L.A.?)
But seriously folks, it's a long season, and remember in August when you're getting tired of baseball, it has tu be better than watching the United States(l'm too old and / or out of shape to play this game anymore) Football League.
