Reader's theatre provides festival deviation
By David Kimmel
Contrary to what many students think, the I.S. Festival, April 9-18, will not be just a string of boring lectures. A good example of this will be the reader's theatre, Tuesday, April 12.
"The reader's theatre will have some entertainment value as well as educational value," said Dr. James Bailey, professor of English and organizer of the reader's theatre.
"A reader's theatre is an oral presentation involving characters, but it isn't a play," explained Bailey, who continued, "What I'm doing is taking
materials from the period and having four students read them (aloud)." Tuesday night's program, beginning at 7:30 in Cowan Hall will consist of four parts: the first part of the reader's thea re, "Voices from the 1930s: The People Speak;" a presentation by Dr. J. Patrick Lewis, associate professor of business administration and economics, on the economic reasons for the Depresssion and the consequences of it; the second part of the reader's theatre, "Voices from the 1930s: Roosevelt, The New Deal, and the Forgotten Man;" and a final presentation by Dr. John Coulter, professor of English, on the responsibilities of society in a situation like the Depression.
According to Bailey, the program will serve to set up the main theme and main ideas to be used in the Festival for the rest of the week and to give some background of the decade for the general student.
The first portion of the reader's theatre will use materials from Studs Terkel's Hard Times, a series of interviews conducted in the late sixties with survivors of the Depression. Bailey said the four readers will do 20 voices, ranging from hoboes to a wandering black male laborer to those not touched by the Depression at all.
"This section is a kind of a short film with lots of scenes and a little music," said Bailey.
comes from Down and Out in the Great Depression: Letters from the Forgotten Man by Robert S. McElvaine and will focus on parts of letters written to Franklin D. Roosevelt during his presidency that range from analysis of his New Deal programs to pleas for aid by unemployed workers.
"The second part will 'be harder to do because it is less like a play and more like a history lesson," Bailey explained.
The four student readers will be Linda Cole, Michael Hitt, Diane ldapence, and Donald Miller, according to Bailey.
Bailey feels the second section of the "The readers will make the proreader's theatre is the more difficult to gram into a nice, lively evening," do. The majority of this material Bailey concluded.

Senate seats go unfilled
Well, it is that time of year again. Yes, students, election time is here again.
This year the decisions are not going to be that tough. Due to a lack of petitions turned in for senators-at-large, the only office students will be voting for is student trustee. Only 57 petitions were turned in for senators-at-large and there are 61 seats to be filled in the senate.
So students, the decision will not be hard. With only one little hole to be punched out with your paper clip on the computer card, students should not find it so difficult to be able to find time to vote.
Normally, there are more than enough petitions for the senate seats and some might find it a little apathetic that there are not enough petitions to fill the available seats. The T &C staff hopes this will be the last time this situation will occur and that in future years, the senate will have more than their share of students wanting to serve on the college senate.
Even if there are less people wanting to get involved in the college governance system there is at least one thing you can take the time to do for your college government. Be an Otterbein student! Get out and vote on April 13!

Panhel .proves beneficial
The T&C staff would like to congratulate the Panhellenic Council on their attempt to decrease sorority rivalry.
As members of the Otterbein student body, we are more than aware of the competition and sometimes bitterness that is displayed between sororities. We are also aware that much of this chil_dishness is implanted in members during their pledging penod.
The Panhellenic Council, for this reason, has made some very positive changes in the Inspiration Week activities to cut down on this major flaw in the Otterbein Greek system . By letting pledges from different sororities participate in Inspiration Week together, Panhel is promoting unity between all Greeks, not just one sorority.

Westerville Class of '83 polled
'Bein
'too close and costly' for area grads
Editor's Note: This is the first in a weekly series of stories which will explore the many different areas from which Otterbein receives students. The stories have been designed to relay information not only from the Dean of Admission's view, but also from the view of the students involved.
By Joy Grandstaff
In a recent survey polling 120 graduating seniors in the Westerville North and South high schools, results show that only eight students are planning to attend college at Otterbein.
"Those figures are fairly accurate considering we are expecting 40 to 45 students to attend Otterbein from the Westerville area," said William Stahler, dean of admissions.
Forty of the surveyed high school students said they had been contacted in some way about Otterbein, but Stahler explained that the recruiting process is basically the same as in other central Ohio high schools.
"We send the identical publications and make the same type of visits in the fall to the Westerville high schools to explain to them about Otterbein even though they are probably somewhat familiar with the school," said Stahler.
In addition, "The admissions office provides a service to the Westerville high schools where we show a visual program and send our admissions counselors to discuss with Westerville high sophomores and juniors the best ways to choose a college," said Stahler.
"We help students by this service, but we also hope to generate a future positive impact in Otterbein admissions," continued Stahler.
Another academic program that is targeted to Central Ohio high schools, but especially to Westerville high schools, is the Pre-freshmen Program. "The Pre-freshmen Program allows seniors in high school to take classes at Otterbein for college credit. This exposure is also helpful in the recruitment of area students," said Stahler.
"When I was in high school, I never dreamed I'd end up going to college at Otterbein."

home. Paul Keefer, a 1978 graduate from Westerville North, is one such student.
"I've been in the Westerville area since 1969 and have simply grown up with Otterbein," said Keefer. "I chose Otterbein because I liked the size and liked the idea of being close to home," said Keefer.
The high school students surveyed agreed that Otterbein's strongest feature to them was that it was close to home.
Campbell commented that she, too, enjoys being close to home, but likes the independence of living on campus. Keefer, on the other hand, has not had that experience.
"'Since I live at home and drive to Otterbein, it sometimes feels like advanced high school," said Keefer. "I live where I go for break," he commented.
The desire of many Westerville high school students to go to college away from home is Stahler's explanation for 55 surveyed students recording a negative reaction to Otterbein as an educational choice compared to 15 responding positively.
Seventeen of the surveyed high school students said they have been involved with Otterbein in some capacity as a high school student. Stahler said the admissions office is trying to increase that number by encouraging additional academic programs to the Pre-freshmen Progran
"We are trying to urge other areas of campus besides admissions to become involved with students on the high school level. Examples of this departmental faculty and student involvement are the upcoming Journalism Festival and English Festival which are planned to be held on campus for high school students," said Stahler.
Although most Westerville high school students are aware of Otterbein because of living in the same town, many have not been exposed to Otterbein from the inside.
"By bringing students on campus to special events and through special programs, prospective students can see Otterbein for what it really is. We are confident that Otterbein will reveal itself as a positive place," said Stahler.
According to Stahler, roughly nine percent of the traditional students currently attending Otterbein graduated from a Westerville high school.
Lisa Campbell, a 1980 graduate of Westerville South, is one of ninetynine students from the Westerville area. "When I was in high school, I never dreamed I'd end up going to college at Otterbein. But now that I live on campus and am involved as a college student, I love it," said Campbell.
Campbell is one of the few students from a Westerville high school that has elected to live on campus since her freshman year. The majority of Westerville natives commute from
"Many students want to get a different experience and feel that one way to achieve that is by going to colJege further from home," explained Stahler.
It seems that Westerville high school students, along with almost any student thinking of college as the next step, are also concerned about generating the money needed for their education. According to the survey, Otterbein's weakest point is the cost involved. This statistic may indicate another major reason for the negative opinion indicated by the 55 students toward Otterbein as a potential college choice.
Regardless of why or why not students from Westerville choose Otterbein, Stahler claims the number of applicants from the Westerville area is about the same as in past years. "We seem to be holding our own in the Westerville area," said Stahler.

After rebuilding efforts I.F.C. approves Zeta Phi
By Jan Lininger
In the Inter-Fraternity Council meeting Tuesday night, the Zeta Phi chapter was officially approved as a fraternity on campus by an unanimous vote, according to l.F.C. President Tim Kieffer.
All that awaits the Zeta chapter now is an appearance before the Campus Revisions Board and then approval by the Board of Trustees, Kieffer said.
Jeff Define, president of Zeta, presented the fraternity's case, and explained the work he and the other members have been doing to bring the fraternity to this point.
According to Kieffer, Zeta worked closely with the alumni, to help rebuild the fraternity and bring them to a financially secure status.
After the chapter was placed on probation three years ago, the alumni removed any active members, and since then Define and the other members of that pledge class have worked to restore the chapter on campus. "We made it what we wanted it to be," Define said. The original members of Zeta, he said, were radical and demonstrated a lack of leadership.
The biggest obstacle Define faced was changing Zeta's reputation from that of an "Animal House" to one of a respectable fraternity. With the help of the alumni, he feels students and faculty on campus now "see us as we are. The alumni really supported us," Define said.
With 32 active members, Zeta plans to continue their rebuilding, but most of the work is done. In Define's words, "We made it."
Joe Strummer of the Clash sound tuneful, perfectly complements the Furs' powerful, driving sound.
The Furs dispensed with "Love My Way," their only bonafide "pretty" song, and not coincidentally, their only U.S. hit, early in their set, to wild shrieks of recognition. They poured all their energy into uncontrolled rave-ups of "Pretty in Pink," "President Gas," and "Dumb Waiter."
The encores lasted more than long enough to make the $7.50 ticket worthwhile.
The Furs are an enigmatic band, and they sometimes seem to be posing a bit too much. They could be accused of taking themselves too seriously, but this image blew itself to bits at the clowning that went on before the Furs' set. Opening band "Our Daughter's Wedding" had just launched into their last song when three members of the Furs scampered onstage and threw pies into the faces of ODW, who continued to play as if nothing had happened. Since they looked foolish standing there with pie dripping down their faces, the Furs were considerate enough to return in a few minutes, and wipe the goo off with towels, while OurDaughter's Wedding_ played on.
Our Daughter's Wedding, by the way, got the Furs back. During the last Furs' encore, they raced out with bottles of beer, drenching every member of the band (and many people in the audience) in their revenge.
Orientation Programs
Approximately 16-20 students will be selected to assist with the new student orientation programs this summer. Orientation dates are July 22-23, August 12-13 and September 8-9. Each program begins at 11 a.m. the first day and concludes about 2 p.m. the following day
Each student assistant will be paid $18.00 per session, plus four meals and overnight lodging.
Applications may be picked up in the Student Personnel Office beginning April 11, I 983, and must be returned to the Student Personnel Office no later than May I, 1983.

Our Daughter's Wedding provided a fine opening set. A threeman outfit from New York, they add variety to the usual synth-dance beat by using a guitar and, on occasion, real drums. The drummer was particularly lively, twirling to face his synthesiser or stand-up drums and cymbals, which he banged with his hand when his sticks flew every which way. Synth bands are not all cold and emotionless wimps. ODW's tatooed singer looked as if he could fend for himself in a dark alley, and gave a spirited performance.
The audience provides entertainment for those bored with the music. On the "dance floor", people were packed in so tightly that they could not move. From my upper balcony seat, all I could see was row after row of bobbing heads. One young man, obviously inspired to move, kept leaping onto the edge of the stage and diving head-first into the crowd. I'm sure he met a lot of new friends by the time the night was over. Several others managed to crawl onstage when the Furs were playing, only to be politely escorted off by security officials.
All this added up to a night of satisfying music and culture. I advise anyone to see the Furs the next time they're in town, and until then, I'll just play their three albums - loud.

The students get mixed reactions when they tell people they are involved in ROTC. Those who are not familiar with the program tend to tease. But mostly, the students are respected.
"When I put on my uniform, I get a little bit of razzing, but most are impressed," Joe Barber, a freshman in Navy ROTC, said. According to Lowrey, "People respect the uniform, respect the military. I like to see that. I don't think our country had that a few years ago."
The Otterbein student who probably stirs the most mixed reactions is Kathy Holder, a freshman computer science major from Kettering, Ohio, also in the Air Froce program. Women in the armed forces are no longer an oddity, but an integral part of the program.
"Women are expected to do the same things as men," Holder said. "Some differences are taken into account for Physical Training tests-we have more time to run the courses and we don't do as many push-ups,"
According to Beckwith, the services have had very satisfactory results from women. "At OS U, 20 percent of our
cadets are women, and for the most part they do very well," he said. Although the Navy does not allow women to serve on ships and women cannot serve on the front line during combat, there are few places a woman cannot serve.
As for the future of the ROTC program at Otterbein, things look good. The further we get from Viet Nam, the more people realize ROTC is more than marching and learning to kill. With the increase in military interest in general, the interest is going to go up here as well as everywhere else, Lowrey said.
Wathen feels the program will soon be an integral part of the College's curriculum. "Military services are nothing more than a slice from American society. That's where the resources come from and that's where they go back to. The better resources we can put into the military, the better they can perform," Wathen said, concluding, "There's a definite place for it on the Otterbein campus I think we should be able to offer it and I think we can provide a real service for the military and for the country m doing so."
Host and Tour seeking guides
By Sandy Ramey
Interested in a job in travel and tourism? Then Host and Tour is for you!
Host and Tour, Otterbein's program to introduce prospective students to the campus, is currently accepting applications for next year's 26member staff through April 15.
According to Dan Pohl, adviser of Host and Tour, the group hopes to hire 26 tour guides for the 1983-84 academic year, and one or two students to act as student supervisors.
The job of student supervisor entails setting up visits and tours, getting hold of faculty and tour guides to set
up appointments, and generally making sure "everything goes smoothly," Pohl said. He added that this position should be held by someone not on the regular tour guide staff.
Applicants should be on Work / Study or Non-Work Study, Pohl said. Tour guides earn $3.35 per tour, with each tour lasting approximately one hour.
Interested students may pick up applications in the Campus Center or the Admissions Office. Those interested in the student supervisor position should indicate so on the regular application form.
Application deadline is April 15.

Footpath Dance Company to perform tonight
by Scott Cavanagh
A group of six young dancers will bring their unique style of dance to Otterbein College as part of Otter-· bein's Artist Series.
Footpath Dance Company, acclaimed as Ohio's leading modern dance company, will perform on Thursday, April 7, at 8:15 p.m. in Cowan Hall.
Founded in 1976, the Clevelandbased ensemble has developed into a nationally-acclaimed dance touring company and a school of contemporary dance, recognized for the humor, vigor and skillfulness of its style.
Ms. Alice Rubinstein, a native New Yorker, is the director of the troup. She studied dance at the Julliard School of Music before coming to Cleveland where she taught and performed at Case Western Reserve University, Hiram College and the Cleveland Modern Dance Association.
The principal choreographer as well as artistic director of Footpath, Ms. Rubinstein was selected in both 1980 and 1981 to contribute works to the Columbus Ballet Metropolitan Choreographer's Showcase.
Footpath has performed in more than I 00 institutions throughout the United States and Canada since its founding and has developed a large
following of students attracted to its training programs in modern dance, jazz and ballet.
Included on the Otterbein program will be a preview of a new work entitled "Urban Studies Part I," which expresses the different moods of a city, both calm and disturbed. Set designs are by artists Paul Oberst with costumes by Raymons Zander, costume supervisor of the Cleveland Ballet. The music is composed by Chris Franke, Edgar Froese and Peter Baumann.
The evening's program will include Footpath's popular "Ribbons," a celebration of youth danced to music of Vivaldi. This work was commissioned by the Francey Gordon Memorial Foundation.
A 1980 collaboration between Ms. Rubinstein and composer David Kechley resulted in "Streams of Hooved Wings," a set of metaphors about the animal kingdom. Ms. Rubinstein received a 1980 Ohio Arts Council Choreographer's Fellowship to set this work to music commissioned by the Bascom Little Foundation.
Tickets to Footpath Dance Company will be available beginning March 24 at Cowan Hall box office from 1 to 4:30 p.m. weekdays.
Poet reaches meaning by universal depth
By Scott Cavanagh
On Monday, April 11, the Otterbein Poetry Series will feature one of today's leading poets, Linda Pastan.
The author of five acclaimed volumes of poems, Past on is, according to a reviewer in Poetry Magazine "One of the few poets who can create beauty through an illusion of simplicity."
Pastan uses a simple and personal touch in her poetry, yet the meaning of her poems often reaches universal depth. According to one reviewer of her first collection, A Perfect Circle of Sun, she has "fulfilled Emerson's dream - the revelation of the miraculous in the common."
Her other volumes are"Aspects of Eve, Five Stages of Grief," which
earned the Poetry Society of America's Di Castagnoia Award, and her most recent volumes,"Waiting for My Life," and "AM / PM: New and Selected Poems.''
Pastan has received a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, a grant from the Maryland Arts Council, and the Dylan Thomas Award from Mademoiselle Magazine.

Lange's photographs were taken between the years 1936-1939, representing America from New York to California to Alabama. Lange was hired by the government to "document photographically the plight of people caught in the social and economic conditions of the Depression," writes Dave Stichweh, production supervisor and media specialist at Otterbein, who will speak about Lange next week. Many of Lange's photos have been widely reproduced. Especially famous is the "Migrant Mother" print, which came to symbolize the entire Depression. The negatives are kept in the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.

Tracksters tromp Tigers in opening meet
By Chris Cebull
Two spectacular performances paced the Otterbein track team in its 1IO to 45 blowout against the Wittenberg Tigers last Thursday at Memorial Stadium.
Junior standout Sheldon Robinson led the team winning the 100-meter, 200-meter, and the long jump events.

QC natters win one, lose one in 'tough' week
By Pam Clay
"It was tough," said Otterbein's men's tennis coach Tom Nelson of his team's last two matches.
The Otterbein men's tennis team is now 2-1 overall and 1-1 in the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) after losing to Ohio Wesleyan last Thursday, March 31 and winning against Ohio Northern last Tuesday.
Ohio Wesleyan, favored to win the OAC conference title this year, is ranked tenth in the nation. OWU won all the matches beating Otterbein 9-0. "Although they won all of the matches, we were reasonably competitive in singles play," said Nelson.
"We just have to continue to improve," said Nelson, "Especially in doubles play." In last Tuesday's match against Ohio Northern, five of the nine matches went into three sets, according to Nelson.
In some changes in the doubles play, Nelson brought Jeff Jones and John Tymoski into action on the court. The two men went on to win their first match of the season. "Tymoski missed three weeks of practice because of an illness," said Nelson, "He is just getting back into playing shape."
As the season continues, Nelson said, "They will even have to play better against their next competitor." Their next match is against Capital today beginning at 3:30 p.m. at the Westerville Racquet and Tennis Center.
Delong-Pangalangan 4-6, 6-2, 6-3; Dubois-Cavanagh 6-1, 6-1; HuddleMorris 6-3, 6-1; Hall-Baldwin 6-3, 6-2; Jones-Sinclair 6-3, 6-2; RichardsonF ox 6-1, 6-0; Delong-Huddle and Pangalangan-Sinclair 6-3, 6-1; DuBois-Jones and Cavanagh-Morris 6-1, 6-1; Richardson-Crisp and PhillipsJ.

Columnist returns for NCAA final game
lP Point By Dave Gra h am
Hey, I'm going to spare you with the "welcome backs," and the "it's been a long time," business because right now there is only one thing on my mind: how 'bout that W olfpack?
The NCAA final Monday night was the most exhilarating I have ever watched, and for once, my team won (North Carolina State 54-52 over Houston). In previous years teams like North Carolina (the other school
in that state), Indiana, Louisville, Michigan State, and Kentucky have always been favored and won, but oh baby, not this year, my underdog came through.
I may be mistaken, but I think America has a new folk hero, at least in the sports world, N.C. State coach Jim Valvano charmed his way into our play books by openly showing his awe of his opponent-to-be after the Louisville-Houston game last Saturday.
Valvano, with his Brooklyn accent and arm gestures kept the NCAA title in the Atlantic Coast Conference for the second year. With the exception of some folks down in North Carolina, I doubt many arguments
Mastel, McDonald lead Cards in season opener
By Michael Sokolowski
The Otterbein Cardinals played two games this week to start the regular season, and split them both against Denison University and Ohio State.
The Cardinals traveled to Granville last Saturday, to play Denison in a doubleheader. Behind the steady right arm of Kirk McDonald and the explosive bat of shortstop Jon Mastel, the Cards managed to destroy Denison 16 to 3. Mastel went 4 for 4 with two home runs and 6 R B.I.'s.
"We jumped on their pitching early," coach Dick Fishbaugh said, "which made it easier for McDonald to pitch."
Otterbein did just that as they collected five runs in the fourth inning and eight more in the fifth to coast easily. McDonald improved his record to three and one against Denison with seven strike-outs. He also leads the team with a 3. 13 E. R.A.
Defensively, Otterbein was lead by center fielder Dave Weaver who made two outstanding catches in the outfield. "It was also good to see Dave break out of his hitting slump," Fishbaugh added. The second game was rained out.
On Tuesday the Cards fell victim to early mistakes against Ohio State as they lost 9 to 3. The Buckeyes scored five quick runs in the first inning including a grand slam home run by their designated hitter, Minch. Doug Gates took the loss as his record fell to one and two.
Thus far this season, Otterbein has been lead by sophomore catcher Mike Goodwin who is batting at a .429 clip and freshman D.H. Tim Harris who is batting .353. Goodwin has also been strong behind the plate, throwing out more than 90 percent of would-be base stealers.
Otterbein takes a 6-4-1 record to Wright State on Friday for a twin-bill. Jeff "Hollywood" Henderson and OB Hartman will throw for the Cards.
will be started if I say the better team lost on Monday evening, athletically anyhow. It simply comes down to the fact that Houston coach Guy Lewis was outcoached. Some say he even coached himself out of a championship, a thought not to be totally disreguarded.
Houston was taking big chunks out of the W olfpack gameplan the middle of the second half until Lewis put the Cougar running game on hold.
At that point in the game I thought to myself, "well this was a great effort, I just hope they don't blow them (N.C. State) out completely."
But wait, a slowdown game from Houston? I thought Valvano was the one who said they may not take a shot until Tuesday morning if they got the tip. I'm sure Lewis thought this would draw The W olfpack out so the Cougars could get some easy lay-ins, thus the revitalization of Phi Slamma Jamma. Neither was to happen as Valvano continued his aggressive style. N.C.S. fouled their way back into the game. Even with the game tied
52-52 Valvano's troops went out and fouled and it paid off. Houston shot only 10 of 19 foul shots for the night. Although the game ended on a broken play slam by Lorenzo Charles, Valvano continually showed his coaching prowess the entire game. Lewis is obviously no slouch as a coach. Lord knows he has been around long enough, but he did have a few questionable strategies, most notably switching the Houston game into low gear near the end, and also allowing All-America Clyde Drexler to stay in the game long enough to get his fourth foul in the first half. Drexler never did foul out, but he sat out a valuable portion of the second half.
In the ignorance department, inelude me, I've been wondering all week who won the consolation game between Georgia and Louisville, then I found out there was none, oops! Hey, well I'm happy, N.C. State and the Reds both won Monday. Goes to show ya that Valvano and his team of destiny were both hungry like the Wolf.
Tennis team edged by Denison
By Scott Cavanagh
The women's tennis team lost its first match of the year Tuesday, a 5-4 heartbreaker to powerhouse Denison.
The loss comes on the heels of a decisive 8-1 season opening victory over Capital.
In the Capital match, the ladies won all of their singles matches, with victories being registered by Michelle Fox, Wendy Miller, Amy Pangalangan, Cheryl Bone, Jo O'Connor, and Rhonda Gearheart.
The doubles teams played well, but the third team of Mary Kenninger and Juli Fisher came up just short in a tough 3-set match.
Coach JoAnne Tyler said the team "played well, but some of the matches almost got away."
The Denison match featured excellent play by both teams. The ladies dropped four of six singles matches, with #1 player Michelle Fox, and #4 player Cheryl Bone being the only Otterbein winners.
The doubles however, proved to be the Cardinal's strongpo int in this match. The first team of Miller and Fox defeated their opponents and the third team of Gearhart and O'Connor pulled out a tough three-set decision.
The match was undecided until the conclusion of the 2nd doubles match which was won by Denison in three sets.
The ladies next match will be today, as they travel to Delaware to play Ohio Wesleyan.
