For the second consecutive year an Otterbein football player has been named All-America. Cardinal placekicker Jim Hoyle has been named All-America. Cardinal placekicker Jim Hoyle has been named to the Kodak All-America team by the American Football Coaches Association.
Tom Dolder, a guard on the 1981 OC team, gained the honor last season.
Hoyle is one of two Ohio Athletic Conference players named to the Kodak's College Division II class. Baldwin-Wallace's Pete Primeau was the other OAC representative at defensive lineman.
The All-America award capped off Hoyle's career as Otterbein's most prolific placekicker. The senior from Columbus Westland High School has been named to the All-OAC team four straight ye<trs and owns all but one of the school's kicking records. Among his achievements are the most consecutive extra points (32), most extra points in a game (6), and most field goals in a game (4).
The 5-foot, I 0-inch, 185 - pound senior has hit 73 of 77 point after attempts in his college career and is 27 of 41 on field goal tries for 154 total points as a Cardinal.
Hoyle hit nine field goals in 1982, four of which were from 40 yards or better.
For his efforts this past fall, Hoyle was named the Cards' Most Valuable Player by his teammates.
Otterbein head football coach Rich Seils commented, "He's a hard worker and a great competitor, he has earned all of the rewards that have come his way."
An "Award-Winning" play
The cast and crew of the play "Abelard and Heloise" has qualified to compete in the American College Theatre Festival Region Ill Competition. The "< competition is being held January 6-8 in South Bend, Indiana. The play, presented on the Otterbein campus during Homecoming weekend last October, was presented last Tuesday night as a benefit performance. Donations accepted for the performance went to alleviate some of the costs of sending the cast to this competition.
Pohl notes Host and Tours' impact, changes mean growth to program
By Sandy Ramey
The new year brings change and improvement for Host and Tour, Otterbein's program to introduce prospective students to the Otterbein campus.
"Host and Tour is an important part of Otterbein's admission program," said Dan Pohl, admissions counselor and staff supervisor of Host and Tour.
Host and Tour members help provide prospective students with a realistic look at the campus and its programs through tours and classroom visitations, and according to the organization's 1982-83 report, "the personal touch and the friendliness of the tour guide often makes a great impression on a prospective student."
"If we can get a student to the campus, we have a good chance of enrolling him/her here," said Pohl. Host and Tour is a paid job. In fact, current members just got a raise.
The previous pay rate for tour guides was $2.50 per one-hour tour. Over the Christmas break, however, Pohl, along with Bill Stahler, Dean of Admissions, worked together and decided to raise the guides' salary to $3.35 per tour. "As important as tours are for the prospective students, the guides really deserve the raise," Pohl explained.
The Host and Tour program also has a new student coordinator, Beth Myers. The junior elementary education major will take over the position which includes setting up tours for prospective students, confirming visits, and generally "making sure
Ramey wins copy editing opportunity
By Rose Shiplett
What did you get for Christmas? Otterbein junior Sandy Ramey received a mailgram on Christmas Eve awarding her a copy editing internship with a newspaper.
The internship Sandy qualified for is the 1983 Newspaper Fund Editing Internship Program. Sandy is one of 48 finalists chosen for the internship.
Sandy became interested in the internship through an O.S.U. professor who visited Otterbein to talk to journalism students. She then underwent extensive application procedures for the internship. Tests were taken, and resumes, essays and samples of her writing were sent to the Editing Internship Program.
Sandy will be working alongside the copy editors of a newspaper with a circulation of approximately 25,000.
"I'm excited about the award, but I'm not sure how I feel about sitting at a desk for 8 hours and fixing people's mistakes," Sandy said. "Afterward, I'll know for sure if this is what I want to do forever." Sandy feels her experience at Otterbein gave her the background necessary for the internship. Her position as chief copy editor of the T &C gave her invaluable experience in the field of editing
Sandy will begin the internship this summer. Prior to that, she will attend a two week training program at O.S U. to prepare her for the ten-week internship. In addition to the internship, she will be awarded a scholarship from the Newsparer Fund.
Sandy does not know yet where she will be placed, but it will be at a newspaper in either Ohio, Pennsylvania or West Virginia.
Because of the practical experience this job will provide, Sandy said she "doesn't have any doubts at all about getting a job after graduation."
This is surely one Christmas present that will not be returned.
everything is in running order," according to Pohl.
A third change in the program is the addition of phonathons. At least once every month. four or five Host and Tour members call students who have applied to the college to answer questions, set up additional visits, etc. Since the phonathons began last fall, Pohl reports that eighty percent of those students who have applied have been contacted.
The Host and Tour staff currently consists of 20 students, plus the student coordinator and staff supervisors.
Selection of new Host and Tour members will be made spring term. A brochure detailing the selection process will be available toward the end of winter term for those students interested in a tour guide position.

Otterbein smoothes way for L.D. students
By Lee Anne Bookmyer
Some students have processing disorders that may affect their abilities to learn, think, speak, read, write, spell, or compute. These students have a learning disability.
Presently, two learning-disabled (L.D.) students attend Otterbein and more are expected in the future.
To accommodate these students the college senate passed a policy for the L.D. student on Oct. 27, 1982 which set up the following classroom modifications:
• extended time limits on in-class examinations
• announcements of text selections at least three months before a term so that taped versions can be obtained
"Otterbein has taken a middle-ground: not to create an L.D. department, but to help the student we accept who happens to have a learning disability."
Fayne said she was amazed at how well the L.D. policy was received and the number of faculty willing to work with it.
"Any change is difficult, but the faculty who are willing to work and spend the extra time will find it worth their while," said Fayne.
dent makes the teacher look at the learning process and in turn the teacher looks at all learners, which makes the teacher better aware of all student's needs," said Fayne.
Dr. William Hamilton, Dean of Faculty, said "learning-disabled students have a wide range of problems and talents. The basic point is that we're making every practicai effort to help them meet every educational goal."
they've been so protected; the college degree doesn't mean the same thing," said Fayne.
• preparation of alternate exams and / or assignments which allow students to demonstrate learning rather than reflect their disabilities
• use of calculators
• ability to use a \ape recorder in class

• longer time allowed for the completion of degree requirements.
But the learning-disabled student has more problems than learning. "The biggest problem an L.D. faces is a perceived social stigma," said John Ludlum, speech instructor who has worked with L.D. students. He explained, "Many are told they are stupid or believe the learning disability makes them less mentally whole than other students. Therefore, they try to hide it and that creates a disaster."
If Otterbein cannot meet some needs, Fayne advises the student "that this is not the best place for him or her." She also said this L.D. policy is the best Otterbein can offer.
Is a learning-disabled student better off at another campus? Leon Bailiss, director of Capital University's counseling center, said, "We have two L.D. students, but we have no policy for them."
According to Fayne, seeking an Otterbein degree poses a real-life challenge. If the student can make it here, he / she can make it anywhere. Otterbein wrote the policy to comply with Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act. Section 504 says that no handicapped person shall be discriminated against under any program rece1vmg federal financial assistance.
"Otterbein wants to give everybody an honest chance to make it," said Dr. Harriet (Niki) Fayne, Director of Otterbein's Reading and Study Skills Center, who helped write Otterbein's policy for learning-disabled students.
Wayne Rittenhouse, acting director of the Reading and Study Skills Center while Fayne is on leave, said L.D. students shou¥I feel good about their education. "I have an L.D. student in class who copes very well. I've tried to have the student do the same things as everyone else, but I take into consideration the learning disability. The student is not isolated, and truly adds to the class."
According to Fayne, learning-disabled students can be a real value to their teachers as well. "An L.D. stu -

Hoebbel, secretary for the Denison College senate, said, "We accept students with a variety of learningdisability problems, but we are not equipped to educate or handle them."
Although Otterbein seems to have drafted a policy ahead of some of its competitors, Fayne feels no program is sometimes better than "the protective" program. "When the L.D. student hits the real world it will be hard since
The legal brief, prepared by Otterbein alumnus Rebecca C. Princehorn, of Bricker & Eckler law firm, gave administration general guidelines to follow: Otterbein may not discriminate against qualified handicapped persons in its admission procedures or numerically limit or proportion handicapped persons who may be admitted, tests for admission must be selected and administered to reflect aptitude or achievement levels, and admitted students must be treated in a non-discriminatory manner.
According to Princehorn, the federal government is asking Otterbein to make a good-faith effort to comply with the regulations.
"Otterbein is a college with high standards that aren't going to change," said Fayne. "But, most importantly, at Otterbein the learning-disabled policy hasn't cheapened the degree for anyone."
Otterbein senior travels to faraway lands for studies
Carolyn Prior, an Otterbein senior, participated in the Semester at Sea program aboard the S.S. Universe this past fall quarter.
The ship, which returned to the United States just before Christmas, visited Morocco, Japan, Taiwan. Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Turkey and Greece.
The program, administered through the University of Pittsburgh is part of
the Institute for Shipboard Education. Students are required to carry a full load of classes that are taught aboard the ship. The classes are taught by professors from American universities.
The academic program features field trips in all of the countries such as a five-day tour of Peking and other cities in Mainland China.
The curriculum of the program is designed to coincide with international travel. Credit is given through the University of Pittsburgh and courses in history, political science, anthropology, art, music, communications and business are offered.

Buzz COCKERELL'S Westerville Restaurant: For more information,
Cardinals open conference with 2-8 record
By Richard Perk
While most of us went home over break, the Otterbein basketball team stayed in Westerville practicing and playing basketball.
Otterbein carries a 2 and 8 record into conference play on Saturday. Capital, Wittenberg, and Ohio Northern are picked to be the preseason favorites. Otterbein is picked to finish sixth.
There are many strong points in the Cardinal's line up this season, but there are a few weak spots as well.
The center is also a definite factor on the boards. After ten games this season coach Reynolds has finally found a starting center. The season began with Tim Weis at the pivot, but since the "O" Club Classic Ted Cedargren has been given the starting assignment. Weis should see plenty of action off the bench and would definitely be given the starting role should Cedargren falter. Freshman Mike McKinney adds an inside scorer on offense. The three of them are averaging nine rebounds per game.
Offensively, the Cards have no problem scoring as they are averaging 74 points per game, although the defense is giving up 84.
Sophomore Kirk McDonald is an added boost for the offense averaging 10 points per game. Running the offense at point guard is sophomore Ray Zawadzki averaging 4 points per game and three assists. Senior Joe Benson adds a nice touch shooting from the outside. All-America guard Ron Stewart is averaging 28.2 points per game with a game high of 40 points against Susquehanna in the O Club Classic.
The weakest part of the team lies in the inability to control the boards and get rebounds. Otterbein as a team is averaging 32 rebounds per game compared to 40 for the opposition. Most teams, if not all, rely on their power forward and center for rebounding.
The Cards played well under international rules in this exhibition game last November, but were still defeated by the University of England 94-91.
Otterbein's starting power forward is Kirk McDonald playing quite well at that spot despite averaging just under six rebounds per game. The problem is because of his inexperience.McDonald is not a dominating player.
Now here's a wrap up for the ten Independent games played over the past five weeks. Dayton defeated the Cards by a score of 112-77. Ron Stewart's 34 points helped pace the Cards to a 92-86 victory over Urbana. Now the Cards began a six game losing streak beginning with a loss to Longwood College of Virginia 67-63. Hampden-Sydney defeated Otterbein 77- 70 despite Stewart's 38 points Eckard beat the Cards by twenty points 81-6 l. s't. Leo defeated Otterbein for their fifth loss in a row, 86-68. Oglethorpe beat the Cards 77- 71. The Cards came back home to the Rike Center, but the results were the same as Defiance won 95-83. Otterbein ended the losing streak by defeating Susquehanna in the opening round of the "O" Club Classic 86- 72. Stewart had 40 points in this contest. The Cards lost to Gro ve City College of Pennsylvania in th e Championship b y three points 70-67
