Prospective students to attend invitational
By Dave Williams
Approximately 225 prospective freshmen will be on campus Saturday, Feb. 4 to take part in the science and nursing invitational day, according to Cass Johnson, admissions counselor.
Saturday will be the second of four days scheduled during the year to give prospective students a glance at Otterbein. This is the first year Otterbein has provided academic interest days. "We hope it will help enable students who are about to make the decision (of which school to attend) to see what it would be like to be an Otterbein student," stated Johnson.
The science departments have scheduled a number of events for the visiting students. Faculty members from the departments of life science / biology, chemistry, physics and equine science will present lectures on topics
from their respective fields.
Jeanne Willis, chairperson of the science department, stated "this has taken a lot of preparation. The life sciences department worked during the entire interterm break to be ready for Saturday." She added, "We hope to help students decide that Otterbein is the place for them."
The nursing department has also spent many hours preparing for the visiting high school students, according to Barbara Cornett, associate professor of nursing.
Students interested in nursing will see two slide presentations on the Otterbein nursing programs. Tours will be given of the nursing lab and faculty members Sharon Carlson and Lisa Wetmore will give a lecture entitled "The horse on the dining room table," which will explore the concept of dying as a cultural experience.
Cornett explains that Carlson and
Wetmore have v1s1ted four hospices in England. A hospice houses people who are preparing for death. Their lecture will give insights to their observations.
After the academic schedule for the day is completed, the students and parents are invited to eat in the campus center and attend either the basketball game or the play. "We try to schedule these academic interest days to correspond with campus events because it allows them to see another side of Otterbein."
The first academic interest day was in November with the theatre department. ''We had a favorable response," said Johnson.
The final two high school days are scheduled for March 10 and April 1 with business and mathematical sciences and the humanities, respectively.
Johnson said other schools run programs similar to that of Otter-

bein's. "We felt we needed to help those students who are at the accepted stage make the final decision to come to Otterbein."
"By the end of the year all departments will have been represented in one of the events," stated Johnson. "They are a lot of work, but each department's help has been great," Johnson said.
Default rate high at OC
By Jerry Marks
Otterbein College has a default rate of 8.95 percent on federally funded student loans. This makes it the second highest rate among private Ohio Conference schools.
In a January 24 article in the Columbus Citizen-Journal, Ohio was reported to have more than 32,000 present or former college and university students with delinquent payments of federal student loans.
Nationally, 72,000 present and former students have been delinquent in repaying National Direct Student Loans. The Citizen-Journal reported names of these students will be sent to national credit bureaus.
These state and national figures of student defaults are less than when the NOS L program started in 1958.
Richard A. Hastings, director of management services for the U.S. Department of Education office of student financial assistance, attributed the high number of student defaults in the '50's and '60's to the non-screening of applicants.
LeAnn Conard, director of financial aid, said Otterbein does not perform a credit check on loan applicants. The college checks to see if a student is eligible for financial assistance. "Should we do a credit check as if a student is buying a car?" asked Conard.
Albert V. Horn, treasurer, said that Otterbein's '81-'82 figure of 8.95 percent default has decreased since then. Horn said that anything under IO percent is exceptional by federal standards. The default rate for 1982-83 was reported by Horn as just over 6 percent.
Horn said that the billing for student loans is done by the Wachodia Services of Winston, N .C. If a student is negligent in paying loans a collecting service is notified.
Horn said that if Otterbein's default rate exceeds IO percent the college could risk losing any new federal funding. He also said many schools did not know their duty and obligation· when the federally funded program first started in 1958. Many schools are now pushing to get student loans paid.

Brother, can you spare $8000?
Otterbein's increasing tuition again this year, but it's only five percent. This increase is small compared to the last three years in which tuition increased more than 11 percent each year.
Even though the increase is smaller this year, one question still looms in the minds of many people: When is Otterbein going to outprice itself as an educational institution?
As many of us have learned in our economics classes, no matter how much we would like to say that Otterbein has inelastic qualities, it doesn't. As tuition increases, enrollment drops. We're not a Harvard or Yale, we can't raise tuition and still have a waiting list.
Consideration needs to be given to the effect a tuition increase will have on revenue versus how it will affect the number of students attending Otterbein. Many students (and parents) are reaching the point where attending Otterbein is no longer economically feasible.
Otterbein can pride itself not only on its academic qualities, but can also boast of its small size and personalized atmosphere. We ask though: At what point will students decide that going to Otterbein isn't worth the extra money? We always hear about how big and impersonal O.S.U. is; how at O.S.U. you'll be just a number. However, it costs almost $2,000 less a year for tuition, room and board at O.S. U. than tuition alone at Otterbein. If you add in Otterbein's room and board, O.S.U. is less than half the cost.
Otterbein needs to search for other means of raising revenue, possibly through concerted fund-raisers. Students begin to wonder when tuition increases more than the inflation rate when it's going to stop. Without other sources of income, college enrollment at Otterbein will continue to slump as tuition increases.
The search for additional revenue sources, besides the traditional tuition increases, is essential to the survival and continued growth of Otterbein.
Band shut out of rivalry
All were present at last night's game-the mascots, the cheerleaders, the two teams, the crowds, the bands, Oops! Where was Otterbein's pep band? You know, the boisterous voices and musical instruments that light up the often quiet Otterbein basketball crowds.
Here we are, the Otterbein Cardinals competing against the Capital Crusaders for sole possession of second place in the OAC basketball standings. The Otter-Cap, rivalry is the most heated one in the Division III, and we had no band.
Well, we were invited to play at the game but the invitation was taken back by our friends from Bexley. Capital was more interested in making the fast buck instead of having equal band time and thus keeping the rivalry on an equal basis of fair-play.
Before last night's contest, many rumors ran throughout the Battelle band room. '"They don't want us there because they know we'll blow them out of the gym" was one such response of the bewildered band person, wondering why the Cardinal Pep band was not "allowed" to play.
Well, the T&C called Capital University to receive the "official" word on why the Cards were uninvited to entertain the music-starved crowd at Capital. And the word was (drum roll please) the Capital athletic director didn't want to have that many free admission fans go to a "sold out" game.
Sorry bandsmen, you weren't replaced by the fear of talent, but you were replaced by the greed of green.
So goes another rivalry. Not counting the outset of last night's game, the score was 1-1. Otterbein has the oars, while Capital has the horns.

OC Cardinal: 50 ways to abuse a bird
On the advice of that feather-headed birdbrain himself, I have tabulated a list of 50 ways to abuse the Otterbein Cardinal. Memorize these for use at the next Otterbein basketball game.
Abuse No 3: The first two ways are so obvious that I will not bother to mention them. The third way is to make him drink the water. They have a saying around these parts that when you visit Otterbein in January you can drink the beer but don't dare drink the water. Alligators may be living in the sewers but the Giant Behemoth lives in Westerville's water system. we have been assured by the water company that our soapy-tasting water was perfectly safe, and that to solve the problem they decided to "add more chemicals."
Abuse No. 19: Make him walk on Otterbein's sidewalks after a big snowstorm. To begin with, I concede that the Service Department has had a tough time this past week, what with freezing rain and alternating thaws by day and freezes by night. Also, we did manage to have relatively clear sidewalks after the big snow we had Monday. To tell you the truth, though, it's much more difficult to fall and break your leg in three places on a clear sidewalk than on an icy one.
Abuse No. 27: Make the Cardinal convince Ohio Wesleyanites that they lost Saturday's basketball game. Even better, make him officiate at the game.
It has been said that two heads are better than one, but this is not true when neither one can decide when the ball was actually in the air Coach Dick Reynolds very clearly sums up the situation when he says, "If he (the referee) had called it no good, I could see that. If he had called it good, I could see that." I guess one is allowed to be that decisive as long as one is on the winning end of a bad call.
Abuse No. 42: Make the Cardinal sit through an hour of astronomy lectures. Anyone who can take an interesting subject like astronomy and destroy it in unchanging monotone could have our bird sleeping in no time. There is some advantage to taking this class, though. At least you can dream about the stars as you sleep.
Abuse No. 50: Have him write a column for the Tan & Cardinal. I hear that more than a few rival fraternity members were not laughing at last week's column, despite the fact that most of the information was based on my own fraternity. I do respect your opinions, however, and those of you that can write may send a letter to the editor of the paper. Allow me to quote the late J.B. Willowby, who said, "When satire ceases to be funny, it becomes truth.-Think about it.

Financial aid needs not met for everyone
By Rose Shiplett
One doesn't have to win the $1 million Ohio Lotto to afford an Otterbein education next year.
Although, with those winnings, one would never have to worry about financial aid, most students and parents are not that lucky. So, how do students (or parents) afford an $8,000 a year education?
Director of Financial Aid LeAnn Conard said on the average, students need approximately $6,000 per year to attend Otterbein. (This figure may vary among individuals.) With these kinds of financial needs though, Con -
ard said "It's easy to understand how the College cannot meet all of them." She added that "No college has enough money to give everyone what they need."
ln spite of this, she said the financial aid department would still like to be able to meet 100 percent of each student's tuition needs. Although financial aid manages to meet the needs of most students, each year some of the financial needs of several students must go unmet.
For those students whose needs cannot be met entirely through financial aid, they are forced to either dig deeper into their pockets or leave, she said.
RA's face job challenges
Selections for next year's residence hall staffs are about to begin. Still pondering this possibility to hear from some of this year's RAs - what got them interested? What keeps them dedicated or turns them away?
Hall Director Don Miller, a senior, who has been an RA for two years, told us, "I wouldn't trade my years as an RA for anything. People going into it shouldn't just worry about judicial, for there's much more to it.
"Last year, only 10 RAs out of 3 I had to go to judicial," said Miller. "Being an RA teaches you to be your own person and to refer someone to judicial even if you might not agree with the rules or know you won't win any popularity contests."
Miller's assistant hall director Jerry Thaman, a junior, told us that he enjoys his position. "It's fun to work with a staff of interesting people. I've learned a lot. As the assistant hall director, I am challenged more and have more responsibility than last year. It's nice to know that when Don has a problem he'll come to me first."
Second year RA, senior Debbie Brennan, said , "I reapplied because last year was such a positive experience and I wanted to see if i could do it again. Last year I had more social involvement in my hall, whereas this year I have had less. But this year I feel I have experienced much more personal growth."
Unlike Brennan, RA Jerry Fairchild is not reapplying. He said, "Being an RA has been a great experience and I've learned a lot , although my posit10n as an RA is a stepping stone to
other leadership positions, not necessarily bigger or better ones but different ones." Specifically, Fairchild is thinking of running for president of his fraternity, Eta Phi Mu (Jonda), an office which will test skills he learned as an RA.
Senior Kendall Hooton, an RA in Davis Annex last year, now lives off campus in an apartment. She said, "As a junior, I wanted to be an RA to learn to be more responsible, to manage my time and to serve as a good role model for freshmen."
Hooton did not reapply, she said, because she wanted to spend her senior year off campus, learning some things she couldn't in the residence halls "By living in an apartment now, I am easing myself into the real world. I am learning to pay bills, and to fix a broken toilet or deal with a landlord."
Sophomore Jenny Ringo has decided to apply for an RA position because of the good example of her RAs in Clements and Hanby Hall. She told us, "I would like to become an RA because I like to work with people. I hope to learn a lot about myself and others."
Robert Gatti, dean for student development, and Mary Pembroke, director of residence life, have chosen the motto, "the time is right," for this year's selection process. Th,ey urge interested and qualified students to talk to the nearest RA, one of those dedicated souls who cheer you up when you're blue or clean your bathroom when Ke-wa-pa isn't around.
Deadline for applying is 5 p.m., Friday, Feb. 15.
A student's financial need is based primarily on the evaluation of three figures: tuition, room and board; and the total parent / student resources. The student's aid is then calculated on the difference between these two figures.
The amount of financial aid then awarded by the College cannot exceed this difference, even though a student may not agree with the total expected family contribution as determined by the financial aid form (FAF). For example, if a student co-ops (works part- or full-time for college credit) he / she can expect to have the financial aid package readjusted.
Senior Jenni Walsh was one of those students whose financial aid package was readjusted because of a change in her family contribution iast fall. Walsh, who has received some source of aid from the College for the past three years, said this year was an exception Walsh applied for financial aid through the usual channels and awaited the arrival of her financial aid package. "I finally got it three weeks after school started," she said. Even then, it wasn't what she expected
Instead of receiving any grantsor loans, Walsh said her package had been readjusted because her co-op was considered in her total family contribution. As a result she was not awarded any financial aid.
Since she expected to receive some type of aid from the College, she was
unprepared financially when she learned her aid was adjusted. She has since managed to obtain the necessary funds to attend Otterbein, but these will run out the beginning of spring term. ''I'll still owe the school $1,000 March 1, l don't know where the money will come from," she added.
While some students rely largely on the college for financial aid, others are fortunate enough to receive full scholarships. Dave Lowry, a senior from Westerville, has managed to attend Otterbein with the aid of a full tuition scholarship from the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC). ln addition, he also receives a monthly stipend for incidental expenses. Lowry is a premed major and plans to attend medical school at either Vanderbilt or Harvard University.
Although he is receiving a full scholarship now, he will owe the service eight years of continued service after he graduates from med school. His involvement with the ROTC requires him to attend a weekly class at The Ohio State University, where they conduct classes in management, leadership and international politics.
Although these students exemplify a few of the ways to pay for college, students still have many other opportunities through which they can receive financial assistance, either through loans, grants, scholarships or even work study.

Winter carnival events scheduled
By Devonie Verne
The 1984 Winter Carnival Weekend has officially started and will offer a variety of entertainment and activities for everyone.
Last week the 1984 Winter Carnival queen candidates were chosen. They are Kathy Holder, Rhonda LeRoy, Paula Jo Mathieu, Nancy Ray and Jill Sommer. This week one of them will be chosen as the 1984 Winter Carnival Weekend Queen.
Starting the festivities will be a "Black Tie" dinner Thursday evening in the Campus Center. Everyone should come to dinner wearing a special tie for this casual but classy dinner event.
After dinner, students can watch or part1c1pate in Otterbein's Winter Olympics among resident halls. There will be traying contests, snow and ice sculpturing contests, and Otterbein's version of snow wheelbarrow races, all taking place in the Campus Center area.
After recovering from the Olympics, you can relax at the Winter Carnival dinner theater Friday, Feb. 3. To start the evening, you can dine at the Campus Center Dining Hall at 6:30 p.m There will be dinner music and table service. To end the evening attend the theater production of "The Effects of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds." There are only 30 spots available so, sign up in the Campus Center by noon on Friday, Feb. 3. Students must obtain their own theatre ticket.
If dinner theater is not what you are looking for and you want to face the cold weather again, CPB is sponsoring a ski trip to Clearfork on Friday evening. There will be special group rates if enough people sign up in the Campus Center by noon Friday, a bus will be provided.
After a good night's rest, it's back to the Cam pus Center for more entertainment. CPB, Marhe', and Westerville Merchants will present a "Bridal Style Show" and displays for Otterbein and the public on Saturday, Feb. 4 from 12 to 2 p.m. in the Campus Center Main Lounge.
Although it is titled a "Bridal Style Show," other types of clothing will be modeled, too. Admission is free so take advantage of this Saturday afternoon entertainment.
DAVE'S BARBER SALON
Saturday evening all the action is in the Rike Center when the men's basketball team plays Denison at 7:30. The halftime will be highlighted by the coronation of the queen. To end the weekend festivities, the queen and her court will be guests at the Winter Carnival mixer following the men's varsity basketball game. It will be held at Howard Johnsons on Rt. 161 from 9 to l p.m. Tickets will be sold for $2.00 at the door or in advance at the Campus Center Office until Feb. 4. WSNY will provide music.
By this point, everyone should be exhausted and ready for that Sunday break. But remember, it's back to classes on Monday.

Cole's 40 sparks win
By Scott Cavanagh
Led by the record shattering scoring of senior guard Kathy Cole, the Otterbein Women's basketball team raised their record to 7-5 with an impressive 86-82 win over Bluffton last Saturday night. Otterbein fell to a strong Walsh College unit 74-65 the previous night to round out the week of action.
"The Bluffton game was a big win for us," commented Otterbein head coach Amy Backus. "They beat us by thirty points last year, and we felt we had something to prove."
Otterbein set the pace early in the game, jumping to a 41-36 halftime advantage on the strength of Cole's 32 first half points. Following a shortlived 74-71 Bluffton advantage with less than five minutes remaining, Otterbein stormed back to secure their first victory over Bluffton in more than five years.
Cole led all scorers in the game with a new school record 40 point performance. Cole hit on 18 of 30 attempts from the floor, while connecting on four of eight free throw attempts.
Susan Ogier and Lori Povisil chipped in to aid the Otterbein attack, scoring 17 and 14 points respectively. Junior point guard Lisa Shaver added a game high eight assists to the Tan and Cardinal effort.
In the loss to Walsh, Cole was once again the leading scorer with 33 points. Susan Ogier added 15.
"Overall, these were two of our best games of the season," said Backus. "We committed few turnovers, played
aggressive defense and really re
bounded well. I think our recent suc
cess will enable us to keep the momentum going for the remainder of the year."
The Lady Cards will take the court again tonight as they take on Wittenberg at 7:00 p.m. in the Rike Center.
