Greek Week '84 kicked off Monday with the Gong Show held in the Campus Center. The picnic scheduled for Tuesday, was cancelled due to (you guessed it) bad weather. Last night was the leadership workshop which was held in the Campus Center. Tonight from 7-8:30 will be Harmony night in Batte/le. Tomorrow night the Rike and Memorial stadium will be the scene.for the Greek Olympics.
Greek Week will end Saturday night at the Agora, which will begin at 8 p.m. The week's awards will be presented at 9 p.m. at the Agora.
'Tea party' hearings held
R.A.s suspended
A two week disciplinary suspension was handed down by the Student Personnel Office Monday concerning six resident assistants who attended an illegal party.
A group, consisting of hall directors; Robert Gatti, dean for student development; Mary Pembroke, director for student life; and Joanne VanSant, vice president of student affairs and dean of students; deliberated for over two hours last week. The committee's decision was three part:
(I) The RAs will be suspended from duty April 23-May 7. During this time the assistants will receive no salary and perform no duties as RA.
(2) The six students will work on a project dealing with the role of the RA "in all aspects of the campus."
(3) On May 7th the project will be presented before Pembroke and VanSant for evaluation.
Vansant said that the students were notified of the group's decision at noon Monday. VanSant said the RAs have been very honest and have not tried to make any denials of their participation in the incident.
VanSant felt the three-part decision was serious. "I felt it was severe in that we did suspend them," said Vansant.
Pembroke said the group's decision was a gathering of past experiences in
such cases by the individual members. Pembroke thought the decision was good in that it will help in future RA training. The project itself is mostly left open to the six RAs said Pembroke. Pembroke said the project should show that an RA is more than just in the hall. "An RA is an RA all over campus; they are considered leaders in academics, greeks, and other social groups."
Greek tribunal held
The Inter-Fraternity Council's Tribunal Board met last Tuesday at 7 p.m. to hear a case involving the Sphinx Fraternity. Sphinx was brought to tribunal due to an alleged "tea party" on Saturday April 14th.
After approximately two hours of deliberation, a decision was made, although it has not been revealed. John Thatcher, Chairman of the Tribunal Board had no comment about the decision.
Immediately following the hearing an emergency meeting was held by Sphinx fraternity. This meeting ended at approximately 10:30 p.m.
An unidentified source said that the decision handed down by the board will be appealed by the fraternity.
The IFC Tribunal Board is madeup of one representative from each fraternity, although the representative of the fraternity involved may not hear the case.
Career services center moves to Barlow Ha 11
By Amy Cedargren
A $35,000 renovation budget, approved at the April 14 Trustee meeting, will allow the Career Center to move from Towers to Barlow Hall.
According to Marlene Suter, Director of Career Placement and Planning, the Career Center is very cramped with inadequate facilities for employers to interview students. This renovation will indirectly affect students with a better employer-relations program.
In addition, the Career Center library will not only be expanded, but also will be "more effectively displayed - both for the students and the workers," said Jessie Leek, Career Counselor. Also, there will be more
work tables for students to use while obtaining information on careers and employers, Leek added.
Perhaps the most important improvement stemming from the Career Center move will be the higher visibility to students, Suter said. The renovations will begin in mid-May and will be finished by September.
1984-85 PCA
The 1984-85 Peer Career Adviser (PCA) Staff Selection will be completed by May 30. Applications are still being accepted.
PCA, according to Suter, "are people who have an interest in helping their peers" and are "enthusiastic leaders who want to share career information."
Cedargren elected trustee
Amy Cedargren, a physics major from Maumee, Ohio, was elected yesterday by the student body as the 17th Otterbein student trustee. A sophomore, Cedargren will begin her threeyear term next fall.
Students and facn ulty recall highs and lows of the recent • I.S. Festival, "Augurs
and Bits: The Human
as Predictor." See page 2.
There is no preferred major for a PCA. In the past, PCAs have majored in elementary education, business, psychology, religion, and broadcasting, to name several. Suter does, however, work toward a balance of majors within the group.
The origin of the PCA program was a desire "to initiate ways to reach out to students about career possibilities," said Suter. The Otterbein program, now in its third year, is not unique. Similar programs with the "outreach philosophy" have been instituted at Oberlin and the University of Illinois, among other universities across the nation.
The PCAs help students to identify appealing careers, to establish career
goals, and to use the Career Center library.
For Jill Sommer, a sophomore PCA, "the position has been a source of personal growth through career discovery and knowledge gained."
This is a supporting philosophy of the Career Center structure-growth in consideration of career possibilities through self-knowledge, aided by one's own peers.

Campus recalls bits of Fest.
Keith Froggatt, a senior from Southampton, Pa., unlike several other students, enjoyed the movie"A Clockwork Orange", which he said was predictive of a violent future.
He also attended the debate "The Human as Predictor," which included a presentation from Albert Germanson, assistant professor of visual arts; and sparring partners Paul Redditt, associate professor ofreligion and philosophy; and Philip Barnhart, associate professor of physics. Froggatt felt the debate was too long and could not associate its relevance to the rest of the festival. "When I left, I thought it was a waste of my time," he added.
For next year's festival, he suggests more publicity be given to the events.
Dr. Norman Chaney, associate professor of English, helped to plan the festival and also attended several of the events. He was especially appreciative of the informance given by the music department faculty.
He added that more publicity could have been posted about the festival. Although, he said the planning of the festival was excellent.
He agreed with several other students that more explanation should be given at each event. This would alleviate some of the confusion that several students expressed after some of the events. At least the students should be able to discuss the event afterward, he added.
Lorraine Zimmerman, a senior from Mechanicsburg is not taking any I.S. classes this term, but decided to attend the festival anyway. (Attendance is required for all upper-division I.S. classes.) She also attended the debate and "enjoyed what Dr. Germanson had to say about the human predictor as a wounded soul."
She also attended the movie "A Clockwork Orange." "I knew it was violent and I still wonder if it should've been shown or not," she said.
As it was, she came away from the film not knowing whether or not it was predicting that our world would become a more violent one. "I'd like to have seen maybe 15-20 minutes of discussion afterward for people who may not understand the full thrust of the festival," she added.
Students need apply for positions
The Publications Board has announced that it is still seeking qualified applicants for all paid student publications positions.
These positions are as follows: Tan and Cardinal: editor ($ 1000 salary); managing editor ($600); advertising manager ( 15% commission on advertising sales); business manager ($150 plus 5% commission on revenue collected); photography editor ($500); photography darkroom assistant (80 hours per quarter of work study aid).
Sibyl: editor ($600); copy editor ($400); layout editor ($400); business manager ($150, plus 5% commission of revenue collected); photography editor ($500); photography darkroom assistant (same as above).
The Publications Board would like to emphasize that these positions are open to any and all qualified Otterbein students. Experience in journalism, especially in writing, editing and layout, is necessary for certain positions ( especially the positions of editor, managing editor and copy editor). However, a student does not need to be a journalism major or need to have taken journalism courses at the level to qualify.
high school newspaper or yearbook experience or with other publications experience are especially urged to apply.
The Board would like also to encourage marketing, business administration, economics or accounting majors to consider applying for the positions of advertising and business manager for both publications. These positions offer a variety of job experience (marketing of ads and subscriptions, bookkeeping, etc.) and a level of responsibility (the T &C budget for 1983-84, is approximately $20,000; advertising sales of 83-84 will total approximately $6,000) that will be highly Tespected by employers.
Pub Board members are: students, Brian Driver (chairman), Paula Mathieu, Steve Martindale, Melissa Haynes; faculty-staff members, Ruth Gerstner, Randy Thomas, James Bailey, Lewis Arnold , Dave Stichweh and Jim Gorman.
Don Miller, a seniorfrom McClure, Ohio said he was confused about the title of this year's festival - "Augurs and Bits." "Nobody knew what it meant," he added. Although, he said, it was explained by Dr. Robert Place in the I.S. Class, he noted several other professors did not bother to explain its meaning.
Despite the conjusion, he did enjoy the music events because "the teachers enjoyed doing it and they let the students experience it as well."
He also thought that last yea r's festival entitled "The Explosions of the Twentieth Century," was much more relevant for the siudents, whereas this year's festival was "much more abstract and difficult to understand."
Pnotos by Valerie Newe1 '
Dear Editor:
A theory: Respect for authority diminishes in relation to authority's negligence to enforce consistently the rules of any institution, group or society.
Allow me to relate a hypothetical scenario.
A small college in a dry town forbids possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages on campus property.
The precedent has been established that if an individual is found drinking alcoholic beverages on campus property by a resident assistant or administrator that individual is referred to a judicial body for the imposition of sanctions.
Furthermore, there is a precedent of guilt by association in this hypothetical campus. If an individual is in the vicinity of others consuming alcoholic beverages, that individual is guilty of possession of alcohol by virtue of proximity to the perpetrators. The hypothetical campus has little difficulty in using this precedent because violators are generally found consuming or possessing alcohol in relatively small areas of campus property, such as dormitory rooms, social rooms, hallways, etc.
On this hypothetical campus there arise hypothetical problems. Let us imagine that a college administrator is informed of an "illegal" party (one where alcohol is being sold, possessed

To apply, please address a letter to Brian Driver, chairman of the Publications Board, at 303 Hall no later than May 1 l and consumed) and it is occurring in a social fraternity house owned by the college and leased by the fraternity. This · administrator enters the house while the party is occurring. Should not every individual in the house, by virtue of the guilt by association precedent, be referred by the administrator to a judicial body of proper jurisdiction?
Obviously, the statements regarding the alcohol policy of this campus are too vague and arbitrary for authorities to make a completely objective referral. ls there not room for personal bias and colored judgment on the part of the authorities?
Let us further imagine that the individuals at this party were not referred for possession because it was difficult for one administrator to find evidence of alcohol and hold so many people by himself; an inadequate enforcement of poorly defined rules to say the least.
To the extent that the campus of this "scenario" applies to a "real" campus that you and I know, it is evident that work needs to be done in the area of alcohol policy. And until it is done, students should not be too surprised when discrepencies and injustices occur.

Otterbein grad guest designer for musical ''Fiddler on the Roof''
By Lisa Pettit
The set and the lighting for any theater production is very important. Impressive and convincing background is always an added plus for any show.
Terry Espenchied is the guest light and set designer for the upcoming musical production of "Fiddler on the Roof." Espenchied is a graduate of Otterbein. He graduated in 1976, and from here he went to work in professional theater. For six years Espenchied worked at the Arena Stage in Washington , D C. and is now a freelance designer
To arrive at a finished product or a completed set is a long involved process. Fo r "Fiddler" the process began back in January with a visit from Espenchied to Dr. Charles Dodrill, who is directing the musical. Espenchied and Dodrill discussed ideas and sketches , deciding on some and discarding others. Espenchied arrived here two weeks ago to begin work on the design that was decided
To come up with a design for " Fiddler" Espenchied spent a lot of time in the Library of Congress studying old photographs and reading the original story of Tieve and his daughters.
Espenchied has worked on a "Fiddler" production twice before."
Espenchied is also the lighting designer for "Fiddler." The lighting adds the mood to the show. Espenchied said, "You are not only seeing scenery, you are going for an overall feeling and you have to follow the moods of the show."
Because the musical is not a heavy drama the set could be built in a bit of a whimsical style. For example the buildings are built at a strange angle rather than a straight angle according to Espenchied.
The construction of the set was done by many people but mostly with the help of students. The students ranged from people in the show to people who just wanted to help with the set. There are many set changes and according to Espenchied it will take a lot of choreography to get them to run smoothly.
The costume designer for "Fiddler" is Lucy Lee Reuther and Charlotte Daughterty will assist as head of the costume crew.
The production will open May 3 and will run through May 6. Tickets are available at the Cowan Hall box office.
Tickets are selling well for the musical production "Fiddler on the Roof" which opens Thursday, May J, but there are still good seats available. Tickets are free to students with an Otterbein ID and are available at the Cowan Hall box office.
