Crosswalks or crosswaits?
As the weather finally begins to resemble winter, the walk to Towers Hall becomes less of a pleasure and more of a good reason to stay snuggled up in a warm bed. With windchill factors dipping into the not-so-comfortable stage, the walk to class 1s sometimes enough to ruin an otherwise not-so-bad day
Not only is the initial walk uncomfortable, but the s1tuat1on with the crosswalks that stretch across Main Street adds to the aggravation.
Usually, a person walking to Towers only has towait about lO seconds for the traffic flow to be broken by a considerate motorists before crossing. On occasion, however, the wait is somewhat ridiculous. ( Usually the coldest day of winter or when it 1s pouring down rain.)
According to the Westerville Polic_e Department, on_ly the crosswalks at the blinking light at the mtersect10n of Mam and Grove and the crosswalk from the Library to the Science Building are legitimate crosswalks.
The crosswalk between these two, the one used most by Otterbein pedestrians, is painted on the street, but 1s not an official crosswalk. It is, in fact, a mistake by the Westerville Pohce Service Department.
Police Sergeant Harry Kuhn explamed that only the crosswalks with crosswalk signs can be legally considered crosswalks.
What does all this mean for the poor, freezing person wa1tmg patiently to cross Main Street?
In the crosswalks, that are legally considered such, motonsts are required to stop if a person is actually in the _crosswalk_. If someone is waiting on the curb for the flow of traffic to stop,_ it is not the motorist's legal duty to stop. However, if someone is in the crosswalk and a motorist refuses to yield, the motonst IS legally responsible for the injury of the person 111 the crosswalk.
ln all actuality, that really doesn't help the person who 1s by now suffering from frostbite.
What can the Otterbein community do to alleviate this problem? Nothing.
Is ·the fun gone from rush?
The only way in which the traffic flow can be stopped and pedestrians allowed to cross is by the use of a traffic hght. According to police, the traffic at the Main and Grove intersection is not heavy enough to require a light.
Therefore, the only partial answer the T &C staff can offer 1s people wanting to cross Main Street use caution and step _into the crosswalk when there is adequate time for a motorist to yield, and hope the motorist knows the law.
The Greeks at Otterbein come to life at the arrival of Winter term. The word "rush" tends to dominate any conversation between fellow Greek members. Fraternity and sorority rush supposedly is a good 1ime and a way for freshmen and independents to become involved with campus life.
However, much of this festivity is hampered by an overabundance of strict regulations. With the recent revision of the Panhellenic Council rush rule #7 (stating conditions in which Greeks are allowed and not allowed to sit with prospective pledges at meal time), we wonder how freshmen and independents like being treated as unfeeling robots.
Also, all students, faculty, staff, and administrators should be aware of the situation and be courteous enough to stop and let pedestrians cross when they are waiting on the curb. After all, you may want to cross Main Street some winter morning when you are already late and have lost feeling in your feet and hands. Wouldn't you want the motorist to stop for you?
It seems that Greek rush rules recognize freshmen a s numbers to boost their chapter roster, rather than intelligent people that can aid the organization in leadership. Freshmen girls must be paranoid over the thought of mistakenly sitting with a sorority member at dinner, wondering if the "conditions" are correct for a daring move like that. A wrong move could penalize the s orority for "dirty rush," and all for just asking to pass the sa lt. Certain restrictions for rush proceedings are necessar y , but many tend to turn off the once-interested freshman, rather than aiding them in their choice in joining the Greek

Finances are probably the major reason Otterbein students transfer schools, according to Dan Thompson, Otterbein College registrar.

While 14 students left Otterbein to look for greener pastures, 15 decided to transfer in.

Fourteen students transferred out of Otterbein before the beginning of winter term. According to Thompson, 70 percent go to larger, state schools where tuition is lower.
"A lot of times students do not consider financial aid," said Thompson. "With aid, the cost does not differ that much."
A majority of students who transfer out are those who did not take a good look at the school before coming, made a last-minute decision to enroll
Finances are also a factor for those students attending Otterbein for the first time winter term. "Some students originally interested in Otterbein could not afford it and went to a different school. After a year or two, they have the money to come here, or find it cheaper to commute to school from home," said Thompson.
This new rule is official unless it is changed in the Pan-hellenic Council Constitution, according to Fox. The only problem with this rule is the sorority rushees do not understand the rule and the reasons behind it, according to Fox. The only time the rule is explained to the rushees is when the rush counselors explain it to them.
There have been no cases of dirty rush reported to the Pan-He! Council during the formal rush period. The formal rush period began the beginning of winter term and will continue through preference signing January 23.
Students transferring in winter term are usually commuters, Thompson explained. Of the 15 this term, only three are from outside Franklin County. Apply today for 2Yr or 3Yr FULL-TUITION SCHOLARSHIPS plus Earn $100 per month
Fox said she anticipates no cases of dirty rush. Cases of dirty rush must be reported to the Pan-Hellenic Council within 48 hours of the infraction.
At the present time, there are 156 women going through sorority rush. A quota as to how many women each sorority can extend bids to will not be set until next Tuesday, January 18. It is anticipated that each sorority will be able to take between 25-28 women, according to Fox.

OC falls to Heidelberg, inexperience still a factor
By Richard Perk
Inexperience and a cold shooting night were the main reasons the Cardinals lost to the Student Princes 85-72, at the Rike Center Saturday.
"Experience is a factor," said head coach Dick Reynolds, (at one point of the first half) "we went twenty or so possessions without scoring."
Otterbein shot a dreadful 36% from the field while Heidelberg shot 54% for the game. Only two of the eleven players seeing action for Otterbein shot 50% or better.
the Student Princes shot 63% from the floor to win 85- 72 and raised their record to 7 and 6.
Ron Stewart lead all scorers with 31 points. Junior Ted Cedargren had a career high 14 points and played an outstanding game. "Ted's worked hard and he's played well at the starting spot," said Reynolds.
Otterbein's record now stands at two wins and nine losses.
With 12:58 left to play in the first half, Otterbein jumped out to a 17-5 lead before the Heidelberg head coach called a time out to regroup his team. The strategy payed off, as the Cards went cold and the Student Princes got hot. Heidelberg went on to outscore Otterbein 31 to 8 and took a 36-35 lead at halftime.
"We stopped playing defense," said All-American Ron Stewart, "We gave them some open jumpers and their experience took over." Otterbein played better in the second half but the momentum was all Heidelberg as
Coach Reynolds attributed the disappointing record to scheduling, inexperience, and reputation. We play a very tough schedule," said Reynolds. "Playing inexperienced people in and out (of the lineup) does not help the team gel. Also teams are playing hard against us because of our reputation."
Top-ranked Wittenberg invaded the Rike Center on Wednesday. The Cards travel to Muskingum on Saturday to take on the Muskies who also ranked in the top 15 among Division III schools.
The Cards will be without the services of senior Joe Benson who has fractured his toe. Joe will be out of the line-up indefinitely.

Still no mark in win column for Lady Cardinals
By Susan Jenkins
Combine the hustling defenses of Mt. St. Joe, Mt. Union and Findlay with Otterbein's 8 l turnovers and you get three straight losses, dropping the Lady Cards to 0-6.
"I'm not so sure any of the last three teams we played beat us. In actuality, we beat ourselves," concluded coach Amy Riddle.
The problems began when Otterbein traveled to take on Julie Franz and Mt. St. Joe. The Cardinals shut down all-stater Franz in the first half while the referees helped in shutting down the Cardinals. The statistics tell the story Mt. St. Joe attempted 26 foul shots to Otterbein' s three.
Extra"We got discouraged due to the foul situation we found ourselves in, and this kept us from performing at our best," said Riddle.
OC's Kathy Cole and Mt. St. Joe's Julie Franz lead for top scoring honors with 26 a piece. Carolyn Barnhill led both squads in rebounds with 11.
The next contest found Otterbein at Mt. Union with the scoreboard glaring a 72-65 OC defeat.
"A lack of intensity cost us the game There were many times we could have pulled ahead or even have won but we let down mentally," stated Riddle.
Mt. Union went on an eightpoint scoring spree to lead at the end
of the half by IO; 38-28.
The second half again found both teams trying to establish themselves neither being successful. Again, Mt. Union put on a scoring drive to take control 68-58 with four minutes left to play.
"When we had the chance to win the ball game, we turned the ball over on three straight possessions , we took ourselves out of it," said Riddle.
Barnhill had a personal best in the Mt. Union game , however, with 21 rebounds. Cole led all scorers w ith 26 points.
Concluding Otterbein's week , Findlay defeated the Cards on their home court, 77-67.
Again, the second half proved to be OC's doom. Findlay slowly worked their way into a IO-point lead with nine minutes left. The Cardinals never got closer than six "We could make great s teals or rebounds then turn the ball right over," said Riddle.
Cole led the Otterbein offensive effort with 15 points a nd 10 assists Susan Ogier and M artha Milligan added 11 each. Barnh i ll con t i nued to dominate the boa rds as she pulled down 14 rebound s
What has happened to that simple game that began with peach baskets nailed to the walls of an old barn?
"Right now our lack of co nfidence is undermining our effor t s, as w e gain that c onfidence th e wins wi ll s tart coming," concluded R id d le.
I'm almost afraid to ask what is next
I'm willing to bet the tr e nd wi ll rever se itself someday. Do y ou suppose then someone will try and lim it the amount of shots allowed?
Now the college game is in danger with its subjection to rules that can remove much ot what makes the game so popular.
It was finally decided after last season, in the infinite wisdom of certain conference higher-ups, that changes needed to be made to hype up the offenses of the nation's collegiate basketball squads, a la the NBA.
By Dave Graham
people will stay away from the arenas if the scores of the games are too low, which is nonsense.
I could almost accept the three point ring, although I certainly don't condone it, but when some leagues actually adopted a mandatory shot clock, I almost reverted to being a soccer fan (fortunately 1 restrained myself).
The most valid argument against any sort of shot clock is that it eliminates a great deal of strategy. Many teams run an offense that takes more than thirty seconds to set up.
For some reason 1 don't think this article will change the decisions that were made last year , so I'll see if I can salvage something from the situation
As it is now, the leagues with the rule changes are not in agreement as to how long the shot clock should be, or how far out the three-point circle should be. Some only have one of the additions, some both. An instruction booklet is needed to tell which conferences are playing with which rules.
The most recognizable changes are the three-point circle and shot clock to limit the stalling techniques of many teams. Notice how these rules are in effect the season after North Carolina (the king of the four-corner, ball control offense), won the NCAA crown? Of course these manipulations are not nation-wide, they are just limited to the conferences who are afraid
First, let's examine the three-point circle. This novel concept came about as a result of the old American Basketball Association. Right. The same guys who played with the red, white, and blue ball. The idea is to get someone to heave a shot from 25 feet or better in order to get an extra point.
As long as you're giving a bonus for shootmg from way out, why not go all the way and only count layups as one point? This type of mentality breeds ignorance.
In our own Ohio Athletic Conference, Muskingum is an example. The Muskies use a ball control offense that has proved very successful the past decade or so, and believe me, l have seen plenty of exciting basketball watching them.
Those conferences who now have the shot clock proclaim it helps eliminate those games that the underdog attempts to "freeze" the ball an entire game. These games occur maybe three for four times a year and very seldom do they work. The stronger team seems to always come out on top.
If you notice, it seems like everything travels in full cycle, and I doubt if basketball is much different. The average scores of games have been declining over the past ten years, but
If the rules must be, insert them into all NCAA schools, not just the ones who like it. This will put everyone on an even keel when tournament time rolls around.
As for the clock , make it an even one-minute clock. This will give teams ample time to run their offense, but they won't get carried away. 1 suppose 1 could live with that.
A final note, 1 am happy that the OAC officials saw the light and stayed with real basketball. I believe it will help keep the Ohio Conference the strongest Division 111 conference in the nation.
