Cures for winter yucks
The middle of winte: term. The T &C staff, along with the majority of the campus, considers this time one of the worst as far as enthusiasm. So, for this reason, we have devised ten ways to overcome the middle-of-the-winter-term yucks!
I. Start planning for that great trip to Florida over spring break that you know deep in your heart you will never be able to afford.
2. Go watch the Otterbein men and women basketball teams and thank God you are not on one of them.
3. Start practicing for the big competition of the term -the CPB backgammon tournament.
4. Start a collection. Suggestions include OC parking tickets, unused text books and Campus Center dining hall spoons.
5. Write a letter to your grandparents pretending that you just want to keep in touch but subtly letting them know you are out of money and have been for some time.
6. Start following through on the New Year's resolutions you've blown off for a month.
7. Read the latest article in any newspaper about the high unemployment rate - be glad you're still in school and won't have to stand in that line for at least another four months.
8. Go to the Billiards Room and try to beat the high score of the video games. Who knows, you may be able to get a job playing Asteroids.
9. Call the switchboard after 1:30 a.m. and listen to the recording. After a few times, you may even want to memorize it so you can say it along with the recorded voice.
I 0. Write a letter to the editor with your suggestions for an interesting, humorous, intelligent, and different editorial.
Okay Janet, your WOBN staff blew us away. In our face! However, we did make a gallant effort. This picture is evidence that even our fearless adviser, Jim Gorman, allowed himself to be siphoned in the name of the T&C.
To him our hats off and to the WOBN staff we express our humble "Good job."
By the way, when Janet Hutzelman is over her winter cold, the T&C staff will be collecting gas money to transport her to Grant Hospital where she can give her pint in the name of WOBN.

Contest stirs little interest
According to Eyewitness news, Tuesday night, over 111 million people viewed the Super Bowl on television. Those who did not were probably at work, don't own a television, or attend Otterbein.
At least that is what we assume, since only three people took the time to enter our T &C Super Bowl Contest with the prize being a chance to voice their sports views in The Extra-Point.
Of course, being Otterbein students ourselves, we understand the apathy of most of the campus. We have been around long enough to know that very few people take the time to get involved in anything that is not required for a grade or looks good on a resume. Maybe next time we try to do something the Otterbein community will enjoy, we'll leave the idea on the drawing board instead of in the paper.

Awareness of environment basis for poetry
By Juli Slack
Richard Shelton, a poet from the Southwest, will give a reading in the second floor drawing studio of the Battelle Fine Arts Center on Monday, Feb. 7 at 8: 15 p.m. as part of the Otterbein poetry series.
Many of his poems, such as "Death Row," originate from a writer's workshop which he established in the Arizona State Prison. His years of Jiving in Southern Arizona have also influenced his writing.

"The New Road," however, his desert environment is interrupted by the presence of a bulldozer, by technology threatening to carve a road into the sand. Through these two poems, the reader becomes more aware of his own environment.
In The Bus to Veracruz, one of his several books of poetry, Shelton presents powerful images of the desert, which he used as the theme for many of his poems. In this book, he also presents two sides of the desert. For instance, in "Desert Voices," he speaks

Both "Death Row" and "The Wasteland" share the same feelings of barrenness, poverty, and death found in the desert. The savage surroundings of the desert also leave a mark on the reader.
The Otterbein community has the opportunity to better understand Shelton's awareness of his environment by hearing him first hand at Monday's reading.
"Learn by doing" - advice from a professional actor
by Charlotte Latvala
John High is a lucky man. He attended the oldest boys' prep school in America, majored in math at the prestigious Stanford University, and holds a relatively steady job doing what he loves. He is a professional actor, and he is here at Otterbein to perform in "The Man Who Came to Dinner."
Increasingly involved in early live television, (appearing on the Philco Show, Playhouse 90, and the David Susskind Show), High then dropped out of theatre for nine years to care for his ailing mother. In 1980, the performer starred in "The Man Who Came to Dinner" at the Cincinnati Playhouse.
Born in Boston 61 years ago, the dapper High always nourished a love of theatre, performing in high school and local Boston plays. High says, "One never knows, in the arts, how good one is; it's always in the eye of the beholder." Hesitant about risking his future on his unproven talents, he ventured into the sensible study of mathematics, at which he excelled. High also wormed his way into 26 plays at Stanford. His studies and involvement with the college produc r tions were cut short by World War 11.
c.::, Upon return from the war , he finished school, hopelessly "hooked" on the theatre, and auditioned for Warner Brothers. He turned down a sevenyear contract offer to move to New
Cast of 30 to present play from the 1930s next week
By Charlotte Latvala
A cast of thirty will present a play from the 1930s, "The Man Who Came to Dinner", Feb. 9-12, at 8:15 p.m. in Cowan Hall.
Dr. Charles Dodrill, who is directing the play, calls it one of the "best comedies to come out of American theatre." It was written in 1939 by George Kaufman and Moss Hart, a prolific playwriting team who also produced the classics, "You Can't Take It With You" and "George Washington Slept Here."
Noted critic Sheridan Whiteside (Played by professional actor John High) injures himself while visiting the Stanley home in Ohio. Whiteside is forced to spend weeks recuperating at the Stanley home. Here, he introduces the family to all sorts of outrageous experiences. He also receives many gifts, including penguins and cockroaches, and invites convicts to lunch
Todd Reagan and Tracy Jones as their children. Susan Diol, as Maggie, is Whiteside's secretary who falls in love with newspaperman Bert Jefferson, played by Brent Erdy. Bethany Bohall, Gary Scott, Nancy Wacker, A. Victor Jones, Tonye Patano, Craig Icsman, Allison Dixon and John Moscardino have supporting roles.
Dodrill predicts a "good experience for audience and student performers alike" with "The Man Who Came to Dinner." The theatre department had to plunge right into rehearsal after attending the American College Theatre Festival, but preparations are proceeding smoothly.
Mr. and Mrs Stanley will be played by Don Ervin and Carol Giffen, with
Prof. Fred J. Thayer will design the set and Prof. Lucy Reuther will be in charge of the costumes. Student Carl Wolfe will run the lighting, and Larry Sherwood will take care of the set decoration.
Tickets are now available in the Cowan Box office, and are free to Otterbein students with I.D.

Tennis pro hired following eight-month search
By Scott Cavanagh
After nearly eight months of debate and negotiation, the Otterbein College tennis team finally has a head coach.
Bob Nelson has taken over the job-vacant since Phil Mauro left Otterbein last June.
The appointment of Nelson as coach ends a long period of indecision involving Otterbein's tennis program.
For years, the Otterbein athletic department has employed an assistant football coach as Varsity tennis coach in the spring. Although this procedure allowed the coach to pursue recruiting activities, the team lacked the expert instruction necessary to be competitive in the O.A.C.
the admissions department was the next person seriously considered for the job. Pohl offered his assistance after he realized the team did not have a coach signed. Once again however, an unexpected obstacle kept him from being coach.
Pohl works in admissions and according to an O.A.C. rule, no person who works in admissions can serve as the coach of a varsity sport. So Pohl was quickly out of the picture, and with only six weeks to go before the opening of the season, the 1983 Otterbein ·tennis season was in serious jeopardy.
Upon Mauro's departure, people involved with the tennis program, players in particular, began to flirt with the idea of hiring a full-time tennis professional as coach.
Although the athletic department was in favor of the idea, most believed it was financially impossible, as the tennis budget allows only $750 salary for a tennis coach. Most teaching professionals can earn more than $20 an hour at a private club.
Enter Bob Nelson. O.C. tennis player Bob Phillips was once employed with Nelson at Wickertree Racquet Club. Phillips unexpectedly ran into Nelson one day, recently, and explained the plight of the team. To Phillips' pleasant surprise, Nelson expressed an interest in the job and asked how he could go about applying for it.
The first choice of the team and the department was Steve Metzmier, a local teaching pro. Metzmier was the original coach of many of Otterbein's players, and expressed an interest in the job during the latter part of the season.
Nelson spoke to Dr. Yoest the very next day and was hired immediately. Although the school could not offer him any more money, Nelson felt "the chance to coach at the college level, makes up for the financial shortcomings."
Nelson is currently teaching professional at the Olentangy Raquel Club, and is a certified United States Tennis Association Professional.

"It really wasn't much," said Van Sant. "I called our Congressman to help us out and while I waited, I made a direct call to the embassy in Madrid. The official was very understanding, and after a few minutes, he decided to give John the visa."
Negotiations with Metzmier went well, until they reached the subject of money. Otterbein Athletic Director Bud Yoest talked with Metzmier many times trying to work out a deal. Yoest said, "We were very close in signing Metzmeir, but unfortunately the amount we were able to offer him was not enought to cover his financial needs." After negotiations with Metzmier broke down, the players and administration gave up on the idea of a teaching pro as coach. Dan Pohl of
Nelson plans to make many changes in the program here at Otterbein, in order to make it comparable to those at the other schools.
Nelson does not plan to cut any players who are interested, and hopes someday to develop a J.V. squad.
Cautious optimism may be the best way to describe Nelson's outlook for the upcoming season. "I hope that my coaching can help the team," he said, "but I can't get on the court and play for the guys. Turning the program around here will take a lot of hard work and effort by each of the players."
Carr explained, "One of the things the official needed to know was John's financial situation. They had to make sure John was not working illegally, and that he would have financial support to stay in America.
Van Sant quickly called Ricarte and told him to pick up his visa before the official changed his mind.
Having acquired his visa, Ricarte was hoping to leave for America Tuesday, Jan. 11, but his plane turned out to be over-booked, and it appeared he would be even later than that.
What should have been a 24-hour trip wound up taking one week. Ricarte, a resident assistant in Mayne Hall, did not go unnoticed on his extended vacation. The other RAs in Mayne decided to show "America's technology in action" by saving some snow for him and putting it in his room (they covered his room with toilet paper from top to bottom). They also hung a sign on the RA office door in Mayne explaining that John was commuting from Portugal this term, and listed his home phone number.
"I was wondering if I should even go back," stated Ricarte. "I knew missing almost two weeks of school would be hard to make up."
The next day Ricarte had his break. He was able to take a plane from Lisbon to Newark, N.J., then to Columbus to end his wait.
Besides his school work and his RA job, Ricarte works in the Campus Center office, is employed by Ke Wa Pa, and is an air personality on WOBN. He is also the first foreign student to be elected a member of the Otterbein College Senate.
As far as anyone knows, this was the first time any student had passport problems once they came to Otterbein. If anything, John Ricarte learned a valuable lesson from this episode. The next time he has visa problems, he will try his MasterCard.

Business department to lose key faculty members
By David Kimmel
The Otterbein business department will lose two key faculty members, Dr. Gail Miller and John Glascock, at the end of the summer term this year. Miller, chairman of the business department for the past five-and-a -
half years, has accepted a position as an associate professor at Westminster College in Western Pennsylvania.
Miller attributes his move to both better opportunities at Westminster and a desire for a change of pace.
"After you do something for a while, you get tired of it, and some -
times you need to change to keep yourself honest," explained Miller.
Unlike Miller, Glascock is not resigning, but taking a leave of absense for about two years in order to finish his Ph D. work at North Texas State University in Denton, Texas.
"It's a sabbatical with extended leave, if you want to get technical," said Glascock, who cited his leave as an example of Otterbein's commitment to getting quality Ph.D.'s in the business department
Glascock added he will most likely return to Otterbein after his Ph.D. work is completed.
According to Dr. William Hamilton, Dean of Faculty, there is a standard procedure for replacing faculty members.
When there is a vacancy on the staff, the school relies upon a national advertisement in the Chronicle of Higher Education as well as wordof-mouth advertising among the faculty of other scho ols.
Neither Glascock nor Miller feel their loss will be devastating to the business department. Both see it as one of the best business departments in the state, and feel the curriculum and remaining faculty will keep it that way
Whether or not Miller and Glascock are irreplaceable, the school still has to do something to fill their vacant positions.
"Shortly after the closing date for the ad, the department, the deans , and the Personnel committee will screen the candidates for those who seem to meet our needs best ," said Hamilton, who added, "We'll then interview several for each position."
Hamilton feels the job of finding replacements for Miller and Glascock will not be easy. "They're both difficult people to replace, because both have made an outstanding contribution to the college."
Hamilton also has strong hopes that Glascock will return to Otterbein following completion of his doctoral work.

RAC gives chance to 'Love ... share a little' Feb. 10
By Jan Lininger
"Campus Sharing Day.'' an annual event sponsored by the Religious Activities Council (RAC), will be held Thurday, Feb. 10 from 5-9 p.m. in the Campus Center.
The theme is "Love Share A Little," which deals with the idea of 'agape love' - a self-sacrificing love in which you give of yourself to others. According to Monty Bradley, Otterbein chaplain, the proceeds from the event will be divided equally between the United Way and the Otterbein
Student Emergency Loan Fund. Bradley hopes the money raised for the United Way will put Otterbein over the top of the campus-wide goal.
This RAC service project, which "benefits human need," Bradley said, "involves the whole campus."
Faculty, staff, administration, and student organizations were asked to donate baked goods, miscellaneous items, or dinners for either the bake sale from 5-6 p.m., or the auction from 6-9 p.m. Ninety-four local businesses were also contacted to donate items.
So far, the items that have been donated from Otterbein personnel included cakes, fudge, popcorn balls, and pies for the bake sale, and for the auction, steak , chinese and spaghetti dinners, and pizza parties.
Bradley sees this event as "a time for students, faculty , and staff to interact." It gives students the opportunity to visit faculty members' homes (through the dinners they donate) , and talk with them outside the classroom, Bradley explained.

work study. It is funded fully by Otterbein College in an effort to give students not indicating financial need the opportunity to work.
Only a small percentage of students are now employed under the nonwork-study program, mainly because several of the students eligible decide not to work. They either wish not to work at all, or prefer to work off campus, he said
The financial aid office does not actively seek eligible students for jobs; those individuals must go out and seek the jobs for themselves, or ask for help in finding a job , Marcus said
A student on non-work-study can earn anywhere from $3.35 to $3.55 an hour, and can work up to 20 hours a week. Marcus said most students in this program use their money up during the academic year, often by working over breaks
As of last year's academic reports, 36 students were employed under non-work-study, earning $20,000. So far this academic y ear, almost $21,000 has already been used.
The financial aid office can at anytime start a student on non-workstudy, and students eligible are encouraged to take advantage of this program, Marcus said.
Three students join security force
By Jeffery A. Smith
The faces of the Otterbein security will be looking different as they have hired three new student officers
The Otterbein-Capital Blood Drive contest concluded Jan. 28 at 4 p.m. with Cap on top. One hundred four units of blood out of 120 attempts were accepted by the Red Cross from Otterbein. Three prople from the service dept. and six faculty members donated blood, with the remaining 95 people being students.
The increased effort, 104 people over 89 at the last Bloodmobile, was not enough to gain the trophy. Capital, with 142 donors, has won the competition two times in a row.
John Swisher, IFC coordinator of the Bloodmobile, was "very disappointed in the Otterbein turnout."
Larry Howard , Douglas Deem, and Ron Jones are the new student officers filling the holes in the security force caused by other student officers who either used all their work-study funds, or did not return to Otterbein this quarter.

The salary for the sec urit y job s is slightly over minimum wage Jones and Howard will be paid from the work-study program while Deem will be paid from non-work-study funds. Howard, a 25-year-old freshman , has returned to Otterbein after a leave of absence. He will work from 9 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Monday through Friday. Deem, a sophomore, works from 12:30-4:00 a.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
"There are many things I look for when I am interviewing a student for a security position," said Joanne Van Sant, vice president of student affairs and head of security. "I consider grades, responses from the students over various situations, and what the people on the staff think on who we should hire. There were certain things about each of the new officers which led me to hire them. Doug had some training with the Explorer Scouts of

Injury-hampered Cards drop three in a row
By Rick Perk
Injuries and playing inexperienced people are the major factors behind the Otterbein Cardinals' demise, as the Cards dropped two games last week, making it three in a row. The Cards lost to Mt. Union (86-74), and to Ohio Wesleyan ( I 03-83) to drop their record to 4-13, 2-5 in the conference.
played well on offense," commented Stewart, "and we did not play any defense at all." Stewart led all scorers with 32 points.
The Cards travelled to Delaware on Saturday to play against Ohio Wesleyan. This time a more experienced and aggressive Bishop team pum -
meled the Cards by twenty points; "Ohio Wesleyan has three sophomores that played together all last year on the varsity," said Reynolds. "They have a lot of talent, and they're the nucleus of their team."
The first half was played evenly · with the slight edge going to the Bishops. Ohio Wesleyan lead by 9
points at the half. In the second half the Bishops took advantage of the Cards' foul trouble, converting 28 of 37 attempts from the charity stripe to secure the victory. The Bishops shot 19 more free throws than the Cards. Again, Stewart led all scorers with 46 points ( 19 of 32 from the field , and 8 of 12 from the foul line) Ted Cedargren hauled down a career high 18 rebounds.
The Cards are playing without the services of four players who began the season on the varsity roster but are currently injured. Mike McKinney and Dave Langdon will return to action as soon as possible Tim Weis is out for the season with knee surgery, and Joe Benson will not return to the line-up until late in the season (Note: for more info see Cardnotes).
"The loss of key people (due to injuries) hurt us, commented head coach Dick Reynolds. "Playing new and inexperienced people leaves no continuity with our starters and substitutions."
Defensively, the Cards are lacking aggressiveness. Otterb e in is last in the conference in defen se. Th e Cards are giving up 82 poin ts p er game, while scoring 72. Coach R ey n o ld s considers that the defensive p rob le m s can be attributed to the "fa il ure to convert (score) at inoppo rt u ne times ." Offensively the Card s are in consistent. "Our offen se wo r k s in sp u rts, " said Reynolds "On offe n se we' ll g o three and four possessi o n s and sc ore , then all of a sudden w e 'll go fo ur or fi ve possessions and not score. "
Bench strength (depth) is important to a team. Without a good bench the Cards are forced to leave in the starters for most of the game. "We don't have the depth we need to win," said Ron Stewart. "We're practically nothing with all the injuries, that's why inexperienced players inust play."
Otterbein faced a r ch-r ival Capital last night at the Rike Center , and travel to Granville on Saturday to play Denison. "We'll go into those ball games with -four of our bi g people out of the line-up," concluded Reynolds.
Last Wednesday, Otterbein played host Mt. Union. The Purple Raiders took advantage of a balanced offensive attack to defeat the Cards 86-74. Four of Mt. Union's players scored in double figures, three of them had twenty or more points. "Mt. Union
The ''mid-winter blues"
CARD NOTES - Senior Joe Benson played 6 minutes in the win over Marietta but has not been in uniform since. Joe is still hampered by that injured right foot. Preliminary indications are that Benson may return to action by the end of the season. Through 12 games for the Cards, Joe averaged 11 points and 5 rebounds per game.
By this time I think all the pro football fans have survived their withdrawal symptoms (as a result of the strike) and have their fix until next fall.
After the fiasco of the mid-season strike I believe that pro football's special playoff system worked and the teams that played in Pasadena on Sunday were the best in the NFL for 1982.

I know that Chris Schenkel is having a good time while the rest of us wear out the TV looking for a real sport.
Junior Tim Weis had his knee operated on last Monday at Riverside Hospital. Weis will begin a rehabilitation program in 6-8 weeks
Freshman Mike McKinney injured his left shoulder during the Mt. Union game last week and his arm will be in a sling for at least a week. McKinney was averaging 9 points and 5 rebounds before the setback.
This is much more than baseball can say about its strike in the summer of 1981. If you remember correctly, the team with the best record in the league (Cincinnati) did not even make the playoffs.
Well enough of that,, everyone has had plenty of football for now, if not we can always look forward to the pro bowl in a few weeks (yawn!).
first quarter and keeps it up in the second period, they'll lose - it always turns out like that.
Now let's see, what other ways have the networks thought up to keep us in tune until baseball season?
The winter months also bring the telecast of some of the more obscure golf tournaments around the country. Don't get me wrong on this, I love golf, but somehow I lose some of the affection when any celebrity with enough dough to rent a country club for a weekend has his own tourney. It does allow the pros to sharpen their skills, but when the scores dip to · twenty under-par I think the challenge may have gone out of it.
Freshman Dave Langdon injured his ankle during the JV game against Ohio Northern last week. Langdon practiced on Monday and Tuesday with the team and is expected back in the line-up by the Denison game.
What is there to watch on television now anyway?Thegreat pro-sports void has begun. We can't really count the NBA as a major weekend entertainer. Don't misunderstand me, I'll watch a NBA game, but only as a last resort.
I could probably predict the outcome after the first five minutes of the game. If a team takes a to-point lead in the
Oh yeah, remember those wonderful great outdoors shows? I just shiver inside when Curt Gowdy takes Bum Phillips fishing in the Arkansas swamp, or when Lola Folana packs her zoom lens and heads for the African rain forests to shoot wild hippos with Bruce Jenner.
Another favorite of mine is the Professional BowlersTour: now these are what I call real athletes. At least
By the way, have you noticed that in the last couple sports I mentioned, a prerequisite for the announcers is a soft voice? I catch myself whispering in my living room for fear it may screwup Craig Stadler's putt, or ruin Earl Anthony's perfect game. I mean, come now, when was the last time you heard someone whisper in a bowling alley? When it comes right down to it I'm not that subtle on the golf course either.
I have come to the conclusion that the savior of winter sports television is college basketball. There are usually four or five games a week to keep me happy.
All-American guard Ron Stewart needs only 59 points to move into third place among the All-Time Scoring leaders In the O.A.C. Stewart needs 232 points to pass ex-Card Don Carlos who holds the number two spot with 2543 career points. Ironically, Carlos played his collegiate ball with Cards' head coach Dick Reynolds back in 1966-70. Stewart's career mark stands at 2311 points with 6 games remaining (7 if you count at least one tournament game). Ron needs to average 38.6 points per game over the next six games, to accomplish this feat.
In Stewart's last four games he averaged 41 points. If he continues on this pace he'll become the All-Time Leading Scorer in Otterbein history, surpassmg Don Carlos. Good-luck Ron!
