Engle residents seek compensation for damage
By Mike Mesewicz and Kim Walker
Engle Hall residents are wondering what action will be taken concerning personal property that was damaged during break. The damage occurred when subzero temperatures froze the water in the heating system, bursting the pipes.
On Dec. 28, Security Officer Bob Comerford notified Triad Hall Director Margie Partridge that there was flooding in Engle Hall and immediately contacted the Service Department.
Service responded soon after, working from 6 p.m. until 5:30 a.m. to patch holes in the heating system. The situation was apparently caused by a problem with the heating system when it was installed. The balancing valves
were not set to allow an even flow of heat to the social wing, according to Dave Bell, plant superintendent.
Thermostats are set between 55 and 60 degrees when students are on break; however, that was not enough to combat the -56 wind chill factor.
Engle Hall residents returned from break to find their carpets soaking wet as well as other damage in the social wing. "We lost a carpet and a bean bag chair; therefore we should be reimbursed. No effort was made to save our items and we were not notified of the damage," said Engle resident Tony Redd.
Otterbein's policy is apparently stated in the Campus Life Handbook, which makes a specific statement of liability: "Otterbein College is not
responsible for the loss of money or valuables of any person or for the loss or damage of any resident's property by fire, water, or theft." The room contract that all campus residents are required to sign also states "Property of Student is placed in room at sole risk of student."
A list of damaged property included four carpets, a bean bag chair, a loveseat, and a box of 75 records, all soaked with water.
Engle residents are as outraged by the fact that they were not notified of the damage, as they are at the damage itself. Resident Assistant Tom Williams said, "I am concerned about the decision-making in this case. The students should have been contacted immediately."
Meanwhile, Student Personnel is trying to get the facts straight to determine what can be done about the situation. It is not clear when Student Personnel was notified about the damage or if there was time to notify residents before they returned. Dean of Students Joanne VanSant will meet with Director of Student Life Mary Pembroke, Dean for Student Development Bob Gatti, and Partridge at l l a.m. today in an attempt to put together facts.
Partridge commented, "I feel really bad for the guys because they haven't been informed. They ask questions, but the answers aren't complete."
Apparently the questions will remain unanswered until today's meeting. when the facts should be clarified.

Top position changes for SNEA
By Lisa Pettit
Tammy Adams, a junior from Plain City, Ohio, is the new chairperson of the advisory council of the Student National Education Association.
Adams was the vice chairperson with the knowledge that she would be the chairperson next year. But with the resignation of the present chairperson, Adams was placed into the position of chairperson earlier than expected.
She added that there is so much going on in the SNEA. "Much of it is political. They involve themselves in backing politicians who are for education. The National Education Association is almost like a union. It protects teachers' rights. They are always trying to improve the standards which teachers must meet."
Adams' responsibilities are varied and many. As chairperson, she will make sure that the advisory council

Association. "There are 36 teachers and I am the only student serving on this committee. There is so much to know. I hope by next year I will be ready and confident.
Adams said, "There have been no guidelines in the past. Every year they elect new officers and every year they want to do things differently. Because I have a chance to be chairperson for more than one year I hope to establish consistent programs."
The SNEA was once the largest organization on campus with over 200 members. The past few years the organization has been virtually inactive. At the end of last year there were only two or three active members. At the beginning of the 83-84 school year when Adams was the president of the SNEA on campus, she helped with a campaign to get recruits and now the group has 18 members. According to Adams "Otterbein has a potential for a SNEA with a membership of 150."

The 1984-85 budget will also be discussed at Saturday's meeting. President Thomas J. Kerr IV said that budgets can't be officially established until the beginning of next fall term when actual enrollment is known.
Bids will also be announced Saturday for the renovation of Barlow Hall located in Clements Hall. Kerr said plans are being studied to move the Career Development Center as well as the Religious Activities Center into the vacated Barlow Hall.
The spaces in Towers Hall, currently holding the Career Center and the Religous Activities offices will be replaced by larger classrooms and an enlarged Adult Development Program office.
Besides changes in buildings, staff changes are being proposed as well. Three people in the Financial Aid Department will be taking on new job titles if proposals are passed. William Stahler will move from dean of admissions to dean of admissions and financial aid. LeAnn Conard will be renamed as director of financial aid, from her current title of assistant director of financial aid. Phil Bovenizer will change positions from assistant director of admissions to assistant director of financial aid.
"We had to have a stronger working relationship between financial aid and admissions," said Kerr.

Students express opinions on co-ed dorm
The possibility of converting King Hall into a co-ed residence hall prompted the Tan & Cardinal staff to find out what students' reactions were. Some of the students we talked to were for it while others had not even thought about it.
We asked students what they thought about the conversion as well as how they thought it might affect Otterbein. In addition we asked if they would like in a co-ed hall. Here's both the pro and con:

She said she would not mind cio, a sophomore from Cincinnati. living in a coed dorm but believes Although she is for the conversion, some people will want to remain in the she likes the freedoms offered to her present living patterns. in the present living patterns.
Snow still plaques sidewalks
Lately the Tan & Cardinal staff has overheard students complaining about snow removal on campus. Most are puzzled by the apparent lack of concern for student safety on the part of the service department - the failure to shovel walks until they have been trampled into ice or the lack of salt on icy patches - and some have even speculated that, perhaps, the service department is vacationing in Florida, recuperating from last term's strenuous leaf mowing circuit.
Such thinking reveals both insensitivity and ignorance to the careful planning and hard work on the part of service department personnel. We would like to take this opportunity to inform students of the work and planning that has gone into making our sidewalks what they are today.
Faced with central Ohio's reputation for harsh winters and heavy snowfall - Westerville was covered with over six total inches of snow last year alone - the service department had to decide whether to commit the manpower and time and expense needed to battle the elements or to forget shoveling snow and use their time to actually make some repairs around campus.
This was no easy decision for service to make, but the scales were tipped when it was pointed out that slipping on icy sidewalks and stairways is actually good for you. When one thinks of it that way, service is actually doing us a favor.
First of all, the struggle to stay on your feet builds character. Life is no cakewalk, so why should getting to class be any easier? Secondly, slipping and sliding is relaxing. It takes your mind off your school work and can even lead to renewed interest in recreational activities - ice skating, for example, is on many minds, lately. Lastly, walking to class is now therapeutic. Not only is the extra exercise of crawling off the ground good for you, but falling down restores the circulation of blood to portions of the body which may become numb from sitting through long lectures.
For these reasons, the Tan & Cardinal salutes the service department and its work, and we express our confidence in their continued good work.

Doug Griffith, a freshman from Chillicothe, believes the change really won't make any difference for students who decide to live in King Hall. In comparing the co-ed environment with Otterbein's present system of social rooms, "It'll be like more girls (and vice versa) going to social rooms." Griffith said he would consider living in a co-ed dorm, hut added, "/ don't know if I'd do it or not "
David Bartleson a junior from Lancaster said, ··11 would make a difference as far as the social aspect because girls and guys would be in the same dorm." However , Bartleson said he would not live in a co-ed dorm. He did admit that the conversion "would be more in a mainstream with other colleges, but l don't know if that makes it right or wrong for Otterbein."

Retention committee examines new ideas
By Jenni Linker
Otterbein students may have a way to express their opinions regarding aspects of the college that they don't realize they have.
The Retention Committee, which serves to recommend proposals to improve the quality of different programs and the atmosphere of the college in general, is a group which few students realize exists.
The Retention Program is actually divided into two smaller groups, one which looks at individual cases and serves students on a more personal basis, and the larger Retention Committee, which takes into account the more general issues of the college.
"The Retention Committee is actually not recognized as a formal committee - rather it is an 'ad-hoc' committee which serves to recommend changes rather than put them into effect," stated Marlene Steiner-Suter. Presently the committee is examining the student advisory program, as well as other issues concerning counselling on campus, and the general campus environment.
"Each time a student transfers or leaves Otterbein, there is a reason for it. We try to find out what those reasons are and deal with them," said Suter. "One of the things we're selling here is personal attention. If we can't provide that, then we really aren't any different from a larger state school," she said.
This spring the Retention Committee will be doing a number of studies concerned with the attitudes of the student body about many of the policies at Otterbein. "We may be sending out surveys or some other type of information sheet," said Suter. "It is really important to us that people cooperate and take the questions seriously. They really do have a means of being heard if they have concerns, and we are interested in what they think."
Members of the committee are: Dr. Harriet Fayne, Ms. Marlene Suter, Dean Joanne Yan Sant, Dr. Donald Bulthaup, Dr. Michael Herschler, Dr. Albert Lovejoy, Mr. Wayne Rittenhouse, Dr. Lyle Barkhymer, Mr. Bill Stahler, Dr. Elmer Yoest, Dr. Joyce Karsko, Rev. Monty Bradley and Dean Robert Gatti.
RA selection to begin
By Kim Whitmore
Do you have good common sense, the ability to solve , problems, make decisions and deal with all different types? If so, you should consider becoming a resident assistant. Students interested in becoming resident assistants, should talk to their R.A. or hall director who can nominate them for the position.
Who can you count on to lend a helping hand'?
Many students have already been nominated by R.A.'s, hall directors and other campus leaders. These nominees will be invited to an information session, but one doesn't have to receive an invitation to attend.
The information session will take place on Tuesday, Jan. 24 from 4 to 5 p.m. and from 7 to 8 p.m. in dining room one in the Campus Center. All interested students need to attend one of the sessions.
The sessions will include basic job descriptions, qualifications, time commitment, salary and general information on what to anticipate.
Mary Pembroke, director of resident life, said, "I strongly encourage any present sophomores to apply, for they are usually more familiar with the campus, aren't as capable of buckling down under peer pressure and seem to have their study habits more under control." However, she stressed that she is not discouraging freshmen from applying.
Applications will be available in the Student Personnel Office on Wednesday, Jan. 25. They will be due back at the Student Personnel Office on Wednesday, Feb. 15. Questions should be directed to the Student Personnel Office, hall directors or resident assistants.

'Carmina Burana' to be performed at Palace
By Jennifer Slager
Women's Chamber Singers, Men's Glee Club and the Concert Choir of Otterbein College will combine with the Columbus Symphony Youth Orchestra and the Worthington Children's Chorus for a special gala performance of Carl Orfrs "Carmina Burana."

Washington semester benefits QC students
By Kim Whitmore
This fall two Otterbein students attained hands on experience in political science. Seniors Mike Otworth and Jeanine Smigelski took part in the Washington Semester.
The program, located at American University in Washington, D.C., combines seminar classes with work experience. Students attend seminars two to three days a week and spend the remainder of the week working.
Seminars include lectures by Supreme Court Justices and American University professors, attending presidential news conferences and hearings at the House of Representatives.
Smigelski's experience was a nonpaid internship which began with the National Republican Congressional Committee. After one month with the committee she began working for Republican Senator Robert W. Kasten, Jr. of Wisconsin.
Her duties included answering constituent mail, doing research, writing speeches and, on occasion, attending congressional committee meetings in Kasten's absence. "I really enjoyed working for Kasten. I was able to meet many influential people and talk to them on the same level about political
Jeanine
problems facing our country today," she said.
Otworth had a paid internship working for the American Space Frontier Committee. The committee's purpose is to support and promote Ronald Reagan and the Space Age Antiballistic defense missiles. His job was to confer with members of congress about the dynamics of space descents. "I gained an awareness of career op-
portunities and was also able to meet and work with many influential people," he said.
Both students had prior political work experience, which they felt helped them to be accepted into the Washington Semester program. Last winter Smigelski interned with State Senator Sam Speck, while Otworth worked on the John R. Kasich campaign.
Both students stressed that they not only learned and grew academically but also socially. "I learned to be self-reliant, for many times you're on your own, and Washington D.C. is a big city to be in," Smigelski said. Otworth added, "It was beneficial to learn my way around a big city because most students upon graduation gravitate to the cities and therefore I've got a head start."
Of the 18,000 students that attend American University, 365 of them took part in the Washington Semester. Although tuition at American University is higher than at Otterbein, they both agreed that is is worth the added expense.
"It was a shock to come back to • Otterbein after living on a large and much more liberal campus," Smigelski said. Otworth agreed adding, "I am somewhat bored, but there were a lot more people around and always something to do there."
Both students highly recommend the program not only to political science majors but also to students in areas such as journalism, economics and foreign policy. Anyone interested in applying to American University should contact John Laubach in Towe rs 327

In only its second year of existence, the Otterbein riding team, coached by Joanne Coyle, has already begun to fare well. One of the most successful members of the team is senior Simone Mancuso.
Simone, a native of Brooklyn, New York, started riding horses at age eight and competed in her first show soon afterward After attending a special riding high school in Vermont, she came to Otterbein because of its superior equine science program. Simone likes the curriculum because it deals not only with riding, but also with other aspects of equine science. She says, "Otterbein wants to send out

New doors are being put on the front of Towers Hall because the old doors were energy inefficient, hard to secure properly and at least as old as Harold Hancock. The new doors keep with the style of Towers Hall (neo-Gothic) but, do have security locks and crash bars.

Basketball team wins twice, ups record to 9-5
By Chris Cebull
Two physical games highlighted last week for Otterbein College basketball as the Cardinals raced past two very worthy opponents.
Last Wednesday, Otterbein proved they were for real by beating preseason favorite Wittenberg University, 67-58, at Springfield. "Wittenberg has been extremely strong in the past, but we were able to play well against them," said head coach Dick Reynolds. "We are a well balanced team this year. Our seven to eight regulars are playing some very good basketball, and when we do need help from the bench it is there."
After a slow start which left the Cardinals down, 22-14, the Cardinals came roaring back to cut the lead to 27-26 at halftime
The second half started close and stayed close, with the score tied at four different times, until with 6:08 remaining freshman Dick Hempy gave Otterbein the lead 51-50. Otterbein never lost the lead. With just over six minutes left in the game Wittenberg tightened the score to 59-58 and from then on it was all Otterbein as they scored the final eight points of the game.
Hempy led the Cardinals in scoring with 20 points, while Mike McKinney had 16, and Ray Zawadzki 12.
In another exciting and just as physical game, Otterbein beat Muskingum in their first conference home game of the season.

Muskingum, who led much of the first half, set a slow pace and challenged the Otterbein defense. With 8:54 left in the first half, McKinney gave Otterbein the lead, 15-14. At the end of the first half, Otterbein was winning 23-22. In the second half the Cards made 11 field goals out of 18 attempts as they outscored Muskingum 41-35. The final score was 64-57.
A look at the statistics shows four of the five Otterbein starters hit double digits. Hempy led all scoring with 20, while sophomore Frank Gioffre had 13, and McKinney 12. As a team the Cardinals outrebounded Muskingum, 29-28.
Otterbein now prepares for a trip to Ada, Ohio, to take on Ohio Northern University, Saturday at 7:30 p.m. According to Reynolds, Ohio Northern is a seasoned team, much like Muskingum. "There will be no easy games, and we must play well," said Reynolds.
Otterbein will take with them an overall record of 9-5, and a 2-1 record in Ohio Athletic Conference play.

Women defeat Heidelberg
By Scott Cavanagh
After a disappointing loss Thursday to Ohio Dominican the Otterbein Women's Basketball team turned things around Tuesday, defeating Heidelberg 74-65 in the Rike Center.
Poor outside shooting and foul trouble were the main factors contributing to the loss. The team's top two scorers, senior Kathy Cole and junior Susan Ogier could muster only 6 for 36 shooting, while three of the lady Cardinals fouled out of the game. As a team they shot just 35 percent from the field and turned the ball over 25 times.
Coach Amy Backus felt the small size of the Mifflin gym contributed to her team's lack of sharp play. "With the gym being so small, our passes seemed to really be off; we really lacked timing." The coach was also full of praise for the Ohio Dominican team. "They are always a tough team," stated Backus.

One bright spot for the team was the play of freshman Kelly Hays, who had career highs in both scoring and rebounding, with 12 points and 14 boards.
The weaknesses which plagued the team Thursday were the strengths which led them to victory on Tuesday. The Lady Cardinals shot 52 percent from the field, and had three players in double figures. Cole was back in form, leading the team with 31 points, as was Ogier, who contributed 14. Lori Povisil also scored 14.
