This academic year marks the 13th, and last year, in which Otterbein President Thomas J. Kerr IV will serve as college president.
Kerr announced his resignation through a memo to faculty, staff and administrators on Nov. 21. The resignation will go into effect June 30, 1984.
Kerr said the major reason for his resignation was his own personal feelings on how long a top administrator should stay at a college. Before accepting the position Kerr felt a reign of 5- 7 years was appropriate. The past three presidents, including Kerr have each held the office for 13 years; President Kerr 1971-84; President Turner 1958-1971; and President Howard served the campus from 1945-1958.
The job description of a college president, said Kerr, is much like a "mayor of a city." Kerr listed priorities of a president as being, "able to see the opportunities offered" by a school such as Otterbein; fundraising; knowledge of fiscal management; innovative leadership; and most importantly a strong communicator.
Because of age and time spent in one place, Kerr feels that a new "cycle" was needed for him to pursue. New "cycles" Kerr is currently looking into are community relations, fund-raising, and lobbying
When asked about the possibility of him presiding at another college campus Kerr said he was not looking at any other schools. "I don't know of any other institutions I would like to be president of besides Otterbein." He did say that if a head position turned up he would look at a liberal arts school before looking at a state run school.
Kerr first came to Otterbein in 1963 as an assistant professor of history. In 1971 Kerr was named as college president at the age of 37, making him one of the youngest college presidents in the country.
Now and Then President Kerr will step down as college president in June, after 13 years at the O11erbein helm.
When a vacancy such as college president arises, what are the steps required in finding a replacement?
ls the search for a new president dwindled to two or three candidates who then campaign for the position?
Then does the campus community vote to elect the winner, and next college president? Close, but not quite.
President Kerr said he publicly announced his resignation at the end of fall term to enable a nation-wide search for his predecessor.
During winter break a college search committee was formed. The committee consists of Dr. Edwin Roush, Trustee President and Committee Chairman; Dr. Harold Augsburger; Mr. Thomas Bromeley; Mr. Peter Frenzer; Dr. William LeMay; Dr. Sylvia Vance; Prof. Larry Cox; Mr. Michael Cochran; and student representative Richard Fite.
Dr. Vance said that a consulting firm has been hired to search for possible candidates to fill Kerr's position. The Robinson and McAuley firm of Charlotte, North Carolina was hired to find a list of possible candidates.
Seven skills that the college and search committee have comprised for the firm to look for in a new president are:
I) A decisive leader with national experience and reputation.
2) Someone who will challenge the faculty and help create an environment for faculty to achieve quality.
3) A person who will interact effectively with students and staff. and will reward significant contributions.
4) A person who will understand the balance between liberal arts and career preparation.
5) A. long-range planner of clear goals for 1 the institution.
6) I \ fund raiser and recruiter for the College
7) A person to analyze and strengthen the financial status of the college.
The search committee is planning to hear from the North Carolina firm in time to have prospective candidates visit the campus during spring term. The final decision is scheduled to be made at the June Trustee board meeting.

More than one vacancy appeared on Otterbein's administrative roster over winter break Besides President Kerr's resignation Mitchell Marcus, director of financial aid left his position in mid December after both he and the Coilege agreed it was "in the best interests of the College," according to Donald Bulthaup, vice president of academic affairs
Marcus has presided as financial aid director for the past three years. During this time, Bulthaup noted that· Marcus "did some things extremely well and had some problems with others." On the positive side, he said that Marcus' handling of student financial aid records and his compliance wit h government standards was ad equ.
Although, during this past fall term, several student financial aid packages
were delayed. These packages were delayed as a result of federal government procedures which, according to Bulthaup, were quite extensive and tedious. "We didn't anticipate this sy-;tem (to figure financial aid) would be as cumbersome as it was," he said. However;the College is planning to implement a new and quicker process for figuring financial aid. As of yet, the College has not made any final decisions on this new method. The College, has recently filled Marcus' vacant position. Replacing him is LeAnn Conard, who was previously assistant director of financial aid Conard is a 1980 graduate of Otterbein and worked in admissions as a counselor until she moved to financial aid about 18 months ago. Conard, who has worked closely with Marcus, has experience with financial aid proceedings and is looking forward to talking more with students about
their financial aid packages. "We're planning to communicate with students as much as we can," she said.
In addition to the staff changes, the College is planning to restructure the organizational chart for the admissions and financial aid departments
Instead of the financial aid director reporting to Bulthaup as was done previously, the new director will now report to William Stahler, dean of admissions and financial aid. Stahler's previous title was dean of admissions. As a result, the College hopes to establish better lines of communication between admissions and financial aid.
The result will mean I) The admissions staff will be able to help the financial aid staff during their "peak" times and vice versa. 2) Admissions counselors will be much more knowledgeable about the financial aid process as a result of working so closely with the financial aid department.

While some members of the Otterbein community believed President Kerr's resignation was unfortunate, some also viewed it as a chance for him to move on to bigger and better opportunities.
We believe Kerr was not only seeking to fulfill personal goals upon announcement of his resignation, but we also believe he was looking out for the interests of the College. Kerr was quoted in a general press release distributed by the College public relations office as saying, "I believe a change in leadership will serve as an energizing force for the College. This change will also benefit me as I explore new career options."
Kerr apparently foresaw that his role as a leader of the College would eventually reach a point beyond return, at which time it is often too late to back out without considerable awkwardness.
It was most likely that this decision was made with the welfare of the College foremost. Though we believe the decision was made in the best interests for both Kerr and the College.
Kerr, in his 13 years as president of the College, oversaw the creation of programs in nursing, continuing education, computer science and journalism. He was also noted for his support of several successful endowment campaigns at. Otterbein.
Despite Kerr's extensive dossier, several people believe the College was due for a change in leadership. Although no doubt exists that Kerr was an effective president, there comes a time .J eventually when career choices need to be made. We are grateful that Kerr had the courage and the foresight to make such a difficult decision.
The new year is only five days old, and, already, there has been enough "1984-How Close Are We?" trash pouring forth from the media to turn even the strongest stomach.
The Tan & Cardinal would like to express its bewilderment at the rush from all sides to remind us that, indeed, 1984 is upon us.
While it is sad to see any work of art misrepresented, in the case of George Orwell's 1984, the problem is all the more frustrating because the problem stems entirely from the title.
As anyone who has read the book would know - and it seems many of those showering us with "After all, it's 1984" have not read much more than the dust cover - the story is set in 1984, but could take place any time in the 70s, 80s, or 90s. Those who worry about some Owellian prescience concerning this year ignore the fact that the world of Winston Smith is a ficticious one - its history having diverged from ours soon after the novel was published.
1984 is no prophesy, so stop worrying about where to put the two-way television. The novel is a warning, written during the end of the 40s, for the end of the 40s, a warning against Orwell's archenemy: totalitarianism.
We hope the novelty of the date wears off soon, and people turn their discussions back to the issues of the real 1984: nuclear weapons, world hunger, education, and gunboat diplomacy, to name a few possibilities. After all, Americans have enough problems, without worrying whether Big Brother is watching.

Get out your skis and skates before you go to class this term. This year the College has provided an even more interesting trip to class than ever before. Ahd no, this trip is not sponsored by CPB: Upon returning to school this week, several students found themselves with both cheeks (not facial) on a slippery and cold cement sidewalk. Struggling to move several tons of unpacked clothing (for those of you who are yet unorganized) , plants and other college student miscellany was no easy chore for many students and even a few parents last Monday.
Upon several close painful inspections of sidewalks and other well-traveled throughfares on campus, we have concluded that even the service department decided the sidewalks were too dangerous to tackle and therefore, left them to the students.
The breakneck stuff coated the campus last Wednesday and can eastly be cured with a dash of sodium chloride, also known as common table salt.

While some students took it easy over winter break the service department was working to keep the College running.
During the sub-zero temperatures that occurred last week and the electricity outage in Westerville, the service department worked through Christmas break to keep the damage to a minimum.
On December 24 the service department worked from 9:30 a. m. to I 0 p.m. to keep heat flowing into the service department since all the main pipes run through there, and to unplug all the equipment around campus that might have been damaged because of the electrical outage.
In three buildings on campus, the Rike Center, King Hall and Service there were some problems with the
motors which help to supply heat to the buildings, but by shutting them off and temporarily replacing them with old ones they managed to keep things running.
The service department was called back on Monday and Tuesday, which were Otterbein holidays, to fix the frozen pipes and correct electrical problems. On Wednesday, three men worked 20 hours to keep things· running as close to normal as possible Towers, Engle and Howard House were the hardest hit by the water problems that occurred. "The frozen pipes could have been caused because we had to turn off the heat in some of the buildings or because it was so cold," said David Bell of the Service Dept.
The hardest area hit was the lower level of Towers where the Reading Study Center is located.

The men's basketball game to be held Jan. 18 against Marietta will be a little different this year. It is being called the "United Way Game." During halftime, faculty, staff and students will be competing in free-throw shooting. They will be soliciting pledges to support them and in turn support the United Way. One may pledge I, 2 or as much as 10 or 15 cents for every free throw made.
If a student, oor a faculty or staff member asks you to pledge, do so, for 'thanks to you it works for all of usThe United Way.'
The Cardinal track team overcomes inclement weather to take top honors at the Findlay Invitational. The OC tennis team gets off to its best start in 15 years. Under the direction of new coach Tom Nelson, the team wins nine of their first ten matches.

The cross country team finishes third in the OAC, winning a trip to regionals. The team later finishes fourth at regionals, and sends two runners, senior Todd Corwin and sophomore Scott Alpeter to nationals.
All in all, it was a very eventful year for the Otterbein sports program, with the returning lettermen as well as an influx of freshmen talent, 1984 promises to be just as memorable.

The Otterbein basketball team opened their 1984 season with an impressive tournament victory Nov. 19 and have since compiled an admirable 7-4 record.
In the first outing of the year, the Cards handed Denison their first loss of the season by overcoming a 35-29 halftime score and winning 72-56. The Cardinals went on to win Denison's Dick Scott Invitational Tournament by defeating powerful Grove City in the title match. Sophomore center Mike McKinney led Otterbein with 29 points.
Four Cardinal starters hit double digit totals as Otterbein easily beat Urbana 86-58 on November 28, raising their record to 3-0 before heading south for a five-game road trip against some powerful NCAA Division II teams.
The first stop dropped the Cards out of the undefeated ranks as the University of Tennessee Martin bettered the Cardinals, I I 0-84. The second stop also was costly for Otterbein as Eckerd College of St. Petersburg, Florida defeated the Cards 79-67.
