Student Trustee candidate profiles
Mark Holm
By Pam Clay
His abilities to listen to people, evaluate, and make decisions at different perspectives are some of the qualifications Mark Holm feels would help him be a good student trustee 1f elected.
Holm's platform consists of three major parts based on improving the image of the school. The first part is to make students take a more solid stand. "I'm not a passive person and I would be speaking for myself and the other students," said Holm.
provement. He would like to see this improved by not seeing things passed off. "I would be directly concerning myself with things normally passed onto committees," said Holm.
Holm, a junior from Indianapolis, Indiana, is involved in many activities on campus. He has been the program director at WOBN the last two years and he also has been involved in training and development at the radio station. He feels his work at WOBN has helped him make many faculty and student contacts which is vital to being a student trustee.
Ted Cedargren
By Steph Jefferies
Keeping buildings open more and changing the alcohol policy are two goals for sophomore Ted Cedargren if elected Student Trustee. Cedargren wants students to be more involved on campus and have places to go. "For one thing the Rike Center should be open on weekends," said Cedargren, with more buildings open more hours, it will also create more job opportunities for those on campus."
Cedargren would also like to make a change in the alcohol policy by first having a limited test in fraternities only. Cedargren's reason for the limitation to fraternities is their size and capability of handling the situation.
Cedargren is a member of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and Otterbein's basketball team. He is also a resident assistant in Davis Hall.
The second part of his platform is to improve the college in the upkeep and maintenance of the buildings. The third part of the platform involves improving the financial aid and endowments of the college.
Holm also feels the communication process within the college needs im-

Cedargren feels he is easily accessible and visible on campus, which is an important qualification, says Cedargren.
"I verbalize well and will be capable of communicating the wishes of the students to the right authorities," says Cedargren.
Junior Jim Black sees his role, if elected as student trustee, as one of a funneling point for student concerns. "As trustee I would work closely with students on their problems and challenges problem areas," he said. "I would need to hear their complaints and then work with them to help them work out their problems."
thing regarding community-wide relations. Westerville is in a high growth area. That will directly effect the school. The Board should develop programs for expansion into Westerville. St. Ann's hospital should be a boon to the nursing program, and the Bank One corporate center should be a boon to the data processing and business programs."
Mark Kelly, a junior majoring in psychology and religion, is a candidate for student trustee who feels a personal concern in getting the needs of the students understood and voiced.
Kelly, a member of Lambda Garnma Epsilon fraternity and an R.A. last f year, eels his Jong list of activities dealing with Otterbein's governance system would work well with his experience in the Financial Aid office.
Kelly is mainly concerned with three issues that he feels he can improve upon on campus: informing students on the distribution process and awarding of Financial Aid as well as how funds are made up; getting all students, especially ADP, commuting and foreign exhcange students, to use h · · t eir privileges as Otterbein students h • to t e1r fullest; and to reveiw, and possibly reconstruct what he feels is an ff • me ect1ve" judicial system.
"The trustees involve creation of policie to help students," Black said, "In light of current Reagan cutbacks, the college tand to lo e $400,000 in fund If elected, I would work for mor ollege-ba ed fund coming from th coll ge endow ment fund.

"We should work toward innovative ways of changing with the times," said Black. "I feel that Otterbein can go places to advance its position as a small liberal arts college."
Black, a history and political science major, is a member of Phi Alpha Theta honorary and vice president of Lambda Gamma Epsilon fraternity. He is also a member of Judicial Council and serves a tate secretary of the Ohio College Republicans. He formerly served on Adm1mstrat1ve Council and the Library Committee.
He has served as a college senator for the past two years, as well as aiding the Appeals Council, the Campus Affairs Council and the Long-Range Planning Committee.
"It's hokey, to 'slap-on-the-wrist.' It's detrimentaJ to the college's purposes." he said.

Kelly would like to take a close look at the system and, if dissatisfied, would set up a whole new proposal for new "valid and plausible ruling."

Concert band perfonnance given 3-star rating
By Greg Stemm
Writing a review is much easier to do if the subject matter is exceedingly good or exceedingly bad. The concert presented by the Otterbein Concert Band Su nday evening was neither. There were moments of excellence, with along a few problems. Fortunatley, the finer spots outweighed the darker ones a nd overall I'd give the th st band about a ree- ar rating. Minor technical problems were my major gripe during the performance. Missed notes, unsupported entrances, cracked notes, and a consist ent tuning problem in the trumpet section dropped the band from a perfect rating in my eyes.
group. Dynamics were a definite strong point for the band, bold sections were under control and moved the entire auditorium, while quiet sections were stirring and proved a definite contrast to the louder movements. Often it is difficult for an ensernble of such size to actually sound soft, out Tirey's group managed it with style.
As far as the actual visual impression of the band, the set and the group itself rivaled any professional symphony I have seen, although the effect (and the comfortability of the audience's eyes) would have been greater if the house lights would have been dimmed during the performance.
Conrad and lead trumpet player Jeff Boehm, and that word is excellence.
In "Concertina" by Chaminade Wilson, Conrad's solo effort with wind ensemble accompaniment simply once again proved she is an absolute master at the instrument. It was also pleasing to note a good balance between the ensemble and the solo.
Later in the concert, Boehm's solo on "Norwegian March" by Valdrez was clear, crisp and tight, certainly an exciting addition to the piece. In this number as well, was the use of two herald trumpets played by Bill Hughes and Cal Metts. Aside from a few cracked notes from Metts, the heralds were also a nice touch.
The woodwind section proved to be the strongest attribute of the band and I could tell Tirey knows this, and picked numbers which let the section show off. This was never more evident as in the final number the band played. In Del Borgo's "Ceremoniale" noticed obvious talent in all parts of the clarinet section, with no heavy reliance on the lead parts one would see in a lesser band. This fact came through when one listened to all the intricate parts being played in the second and third sections, as well as the first.
I realize being a trumpet player myself (or rather I should say I infrequently make attempts to tootaround every six or eight months) 1 tend to be more critical of the section. Basically the problems were a tendency to be slightly sharp on the brassy sections, and slightly flat in the lower registers, pesky and typical problems for the horn.
The band opened the concert with a lively march called "Pentland Hills" by J.H. Howe. Woodwinds were exceptionally outstanding, as they were during the entire concert, during the number. Also, the trombone section provided the perfect booming sound which immediately captivated the audience, and of course sent everyone's foot tapping.
In this final number, in fact, there were several interesting things going on which left the audience with a feeling the band more than made up for some of the minor problems earher (yeseventhetrumpetswereintuneand played well in this final number. The lower brass should get a nod for maintaining a solid balanced sound which blended well with the upper parts and was never overpowering.
When the honkers (pardon me) did show off, they did it with style, as in h · · b ld b · ht t f t e exciting, o , ng sec ions o h ti I be "C · l " by t e ma num r, eremoma e Elliot Del Borgo. I wondered if lead trumpeter Jeff Boehm had stood on a I dd d · · t

The seco nd number in the repertoire also deserves mention. Earl Mattel's "Exordium" in three movements was well executed, especially by the percussion in the third movement. I 1 · ·azzy pieces and the a ways enjoy j unusual syncopated rhythms were handled well by the percussion section.
A smgle word· describes the solo
Band director Gary Tirey had picked a wide range of music which appealed to almost every taste, and I was surprised and approved of the choice of "Symphonic Dance Music from West Side Story" by Berstein/ Polster. All too often absolutely fantastic musical scores written as accompaniments or dance pieces for Broadway shows are ignored or forgotten. I was glad to see the band not only remember the -fine background music from this show, but did it so well.
Again, the two sections which shined on this number were the woodwinds and the percussion. Dan Thress, • Dick Day, and William Wiebell were · · h h outstanding on percussion mt e c a-

The final analysis should reiterate what I felt about the entire performance, it was a completely enjoy- able evening and the Concert Band and Wind Ensemble, along with Gary Tirey should be commended for a good, solid performance which made the walk to Cowan worthwhile, and made me look forward to the next performance of the group on May 26 at 8: 15 p. m. also in Cowan Hall.
