When beginning a new year, a standard practice among people is to reflect on the previous year's triumph s and pratfalls. During this time we are able to shake each other's hand and stab ourselves in the back for proud accomplishments or embarrassing mistakes. The Tan & Cardinal would now like to look back on previous achievements at Otterbein, be they good or bad.
JO Aspiring Achievements for Otterhein
I. Establishment of the l.S. Department. You never know when you'll be asked to identify an igneous rock during a job interview.
2. Establishing social -rooms. Without them, where would we do everything that we are not supposed to?
3. Chicken strips. Real food has finally arrived in the cafeteria.
4. Capital it ain't!
5. CPB. Without it, the weekends would be boring, instead of just plain dull.
6. Keeping Otterbein dry. After all, we couldn't handle alcohol, anyway.
7. College Senate. In theory, it's great.
8. The Work/ Study program. We didn't want to work anyway.
9. Providing students with room phones.
10. Securing Jack Hanna as the 1982-83 Commencement speaker.
JO Failures at Otterbein
I. The Dewey Decimal system of numbering rooms in Towers Hall.
2. Placing timers on the lights in the library. A college supposedly encourages studying, rather than sleeping.
3. Spending millions of dollars on replacing the Rike Center roof, when a super-size, single cup bra would have sufficed.
4. Establishing a journalism major.
5. The new Panhellenic Council rush rules.
6. ADP students.
7. College Senate. In practice, it .stinks!
8. Placing the heat vents directly beneath the windows in all college buildings.
9. Service Department. For mowing the snow in the winter, and shoveling the grass in the summer.
Whose birthday was it?
The observance of Martin Luther King's birthday last Monday, January 17 marked the seventh year the state of Ohio has celebrated this occasion.
King's birthday, which is celebrated in Ohio as a state holiday and is not a national holiday, was declared a state holiday in 1975. Since then, state government offices, banks, school systems, and some colleges have observed this holiday by taking the day off.
10. The phone system. When it doesn't work you're mad, when it does work you're too stunned to complete your call.
Upset under the dome
Congratulations to the Otterbein Cardinal basketball team for their upset victory over top-ranked Wittenberg last week at the Rike Center. The Cards one-point victory proves what could happen when determination outweighs skill (domination).
A question you might ask is why Otterbein doesn't observe Martin Luther King's birthday. The Ohio State University,which observed King's birthday since 1977, took the day off and had various programs planned to commemorate King. One point to bring up is our archrival Capital University did not take off for King's birthday and were in session just like Otterbein.
Coach Dick Reynolds and his staff should be commended in their preparation of the team. It seemsC oach Reynolds has had great success against Wittenberg. "Our programs are on the same level," said Reynolds when asked to compare the two teams. ''Our kids perform when we play Wittenberg."
Otterbein has been able to defeat the Tigers in seven of the last eleven contests; three out of the last four.
Looking into this situation, Otterbein doesn't celebrate King's birthday because of the way our academic calendar is scheduled. Otterbein has to be in session a certain number of school days to be eligible for accreditation so there are only a certain number of holidays the college can choose to observe. _
In scheduling these holidays, the school tries to choose the holidays falling centrally within the college calendar. An example of this:celebrating Columbus Day the beginning of the fifth week of fall term and President's Day on Monday, February 21 (the beginning of the seventh week of winter term.)
It's ironic, but before the Wittenberg game this T &C reporter asked All-American Ron Stewart how the Cards would do against the powerful Wittenberg team? Ron replied, "We'll surprise a lot of people, we can beat them." The Cards did surprise a lot of Letterspeople. to the
Otterbein ' has the right to choose which holidays they want to observe, and one they chose not to celebrate this year was Veterans' Day. The reason for this decision is Veterans' Day falls in the middle of the week (i.e. Thursday, as it did this past fall term) and the college was having the problem of some of the students taking the rest of the week off.

Ohio State observes King's birthday, but they are in session on President's Day. They were also out of classes on Veterans' Day, but had classes on Columbus Day. Reasons for this were the state of Ohio allows some places to observe some holidays on different dates. For example, Ohio State obseves Columbus Day the day after Thanksgiving. Because they are still in session at this time, observing the holiday on this day gives them a four-day weekend. Another example is they celebrate President's Day on Christmas Eve. Even though they are not in classes, it gives the administrative offices the chance to be off work the day before Christmas. Who knows? The reason we get such a long winter break might be because we are making up for some of the holidays we don't celebrate during the school year.
see all of them as PEOPL.E, persons that will benefit our groups with their TAN & CARDINAL leadership abilities, sincerity, sense of humors and most of all their friendships.

9. "Abba: The Basement" Capitali7ing on the artist ic success of "Pink Floyd: The Wall,'' this film miserably fails. Doing "The Wall" one better (it had no dialogue), this film offers no visual elements. We're talking white screen, folks.
Every year I compile a list of the previous year's worst movies. 1982 was a banner year for cinematic triumphs. even though a healthy portion of the movies reeked of excessive budgets, weak plots, and embarrassing performances. Hollywood and New York deserve to be lauded for entertaining audiences with films like "E.T." and "The Verdict." When the film industry asks the public to waste $4 on trash like "National Lampoon's Class Reunion," then a swift kick to the butt is needed. Bend over movie moguls, here comes my foot!

3. "My Dinner with Aunt Bee" This movie has an even cheaper budget than "My Dinner with Andre." Aunt Bee prepares all the food, sews the costumes, dusts the set, and even fluffs the pillows for the shoozing audience. I dare anyone to stay awake past the second helping of applesauce.
