Campus to share for a good
By Greg Grant
Are you ready to "turn on your heart light?"
This is the question the Religious Activities Council poses to Otterbein students and faculty as they prepare for this year's Campus Sharing Day today in the Campus Center.
This is an annual event that allows students and faculty to support a worthy charity chosen by the RAC. This year, money raised will be divided between the United Way and the McCurdy Schools program in New Mexico.
Campus Sharing Day will include a bake sale and auction, extended this year to include the lunch hour. The bake sale will run from 11 a.m. to I p.m. and from 4 to 6 p m. The auction will begin at 6 p m.

The date for this media event is tentatively set for March 2 in the Rike.
Seriously. we are planning a special 12-page parents' issue for Parents' Day, which is Feb. 25. We plan to feature Otterbein alums and their children who currently attend Otterbein.

Fowler won the N obcl Prize in Physics in I 983 for his theory to solve this problem. This is the theme of the show. If earth didn't come equipped with heavy elements where did they come from?
This theory states that the early stages of the universe came from a transformation of energy into matter. The three original elements, hydrogen, helium and lidium were transformed into heavier elements. "Heavy elements are born of violence, like from the Crab Nebula," said Dr. Barnhart. So heavy elements exist because they have been blown into our atmosphere.

Poet offers varied .readings

Richard Tillinghast read his poetry in the drawing room at the Battelle Fine Arts Center last Monday.
Tillinghast was born in Memphis. went to the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. and later taught there. He also taught at Harvard, and the University of California at Berkley. Now Tillinghast is the co-director of the masters program in Creative Writing at the University of Michigan.
Tillinghast read from his books "The Knife" and "Our Flag is Still Here." The poems covered a wide range of topics but all were directly from his life experiences.

Cardinal offense explodes
By Chris Cebull
With two games remaining in regular season play in the Ohio Athletic Conference, Otterbein remains one of four teams in contention for the top spot. "I've been pleased with the team's performance since the Capital game," said coach Dick Reynolds. "The last two games will be very important, and will determine post-season play."
Otterbein's final two games are against Kenyon and Wooster and they are important contests. After last Saturday's conference action four teams were left in the struggle for the first place. Heidelberg Capital. and Wittenberg all hold a 9-2 record while Otterbein follows closely with an 8-3 record.
Two big wins for the Cardinals last week put the Cards in the race. In these two games Otterbein teamed up to score 198 points against their opponents 146.
Last Wednesday the Cards dominated Baldwin-Wallace 94-67. The Yellow .Jackets scored first on a John Middlebrook foul shot. giving them a 1-0 lead. It was their final lead of the game. Otterbein worked from a 12-5 lead up to a 22-9 lead and at halftime the score was 43-25 In the second half it was all Otterbein and they went on to
get the victory.
Otterbein's Mike McKinney was the high scorer of the evening with 26 points. Dick Hempy had 18; Dave Langdon and Frank Gioffre added 14. McKinney was also the top rebounder for the Cards with 10, while BaldwinWallace's Bob Scecza was the games top rebounder with 14. Both Otterbein and Baldwin-Wallace had 42 rebounds.
The Cards continued their winning streak against Oberlin in a Wednesday night game in Otterbein's Rike Center.
The Cards had a season high I04 points in the I 04- 79 victory.
This Saturday the Cards wi ll tackle the College of Wooster in the final regular season game at Wooster.
Last week's wins assured the Cards a home game Monday night in the first round of OAC tournament play
The winner of that contest will go on to host a Wednesday night game in the next round of the tournament

Women raise record to 10-7
By Scott Cavanagh
In their last home game of the season, the Otterbein women's basketball team lost to regionally ranked Muskingum Tuesday night. Earlier in the week, the Lady Cardinals had defeated Denison 56-34.
The Muskingum game was much closer than the final score indicated. After the first 17 minutes of the first half, the Muskies held a slim three point lead. At this time, however, the game took a turn in M uskingum's favor. The Muskies closed out the half in an impressive fashion, taking a 4533 lead into the locker room.
The spurt at the end of the first half proved to be the difference in the game. Although the Cardinals. played a strong second half, with both teams scoring 45 points, the Muskies held their half time lead to spot a 90-78 victory.
In her last home game, senior Kathy Cole scored 25 points to lead the Cardinal attack. Susan Ogier contributed 19 points, and Lori Povisil added 12. Krist in McQuain was the leading rebounder with I 0.
Head coach Amy Backus was understandably disappointed with the loss, but felt her team played well. Pf r "They are a good team," she said, At th e e nd of rhis week 's ac ti o n the "and we knew we would have to pla y women 's basketball team ha s a reexceptionally well to win " cord of 10-7
