Two Otterbein students, Roberta Delavo, who just completed a Co-op experience at Ashland Chemical, and Brent Blakley, who will be taking her place, will also be interviewed. The story idea originated on Nov. 5, 1981 when Bill Pepper did a story on small independent colleges, and used Otterbein as an example. Filming in Towers Hall, Pepper noticed the Co-op Board and decided a story should be done in the future.
Greek Life: Making A Responsible :Q_ecis1on
When looking into Greek organizations, consider these questions: I. Why do I (or don't I) want to become Greek? 2. Am I attracted to the organization or am I just going along with the crowd? 3. Can I afford it? 4. How much time does Greek life demand? How much can I give? 5. What organizations come closest to having my kind of people in them? 6. Will I fit into a large organization or a small organization best?
Alright ... it's settled If it's heads, I'll pledge with RhoUpsilon Zeta. If it's tails,

This week begins the annual "rush" season for Otterbein's fraternities and sororities. For those of you not familiar with the tradition, it is the combination of salesmanship by .each of the organizations wrapped around a good excuse to throw a party. \
As a service to those of our readers who will pledge or consider pledging a fraternity or sorority, the Tan and Cardinal is presenting profiles of each of the organizations in the issues leading up to preference signing on the 24th. The first four of these can be found on pages four and five.
Don't necessarily judge a Greek organization solely on its parties (rush or otherwise). They are important, but there is much more to each fraternity and sorority. There are other activities to consider, as well as financial and social responsibilities.
Do get involved in rush activities, even if you don't feel that you want to become Greek. Being in a Greek organization isn't for everyone, but you'll never know unless you give them a chance.
Get to know the active members of each organization. Don't join a particular group just because your friends are. Everyone is different, so the organization that is right for your best friend may not be the right one for you.

The Tan and Cardinal encourages everyone to become involved in rush activities during the next few weeks, whether you're interested in joining a fraternity or sorority, undecided, or not interested. It is well worth the experience, and will enable you to make a responsible choice.

Most of us don't know how to use our minds effectively and efficiently when it comes to solving problems.
So says Tom Watson, coordinator of gifted and talented programs for the Champaign County Schools.
problem. Watson says that deferring judgment on a possible solution is imperative.
from an industrial society to what many people have called an information society," Watson said. Much of the information that we were required
"Most people don't have efficient ways of solving problems, especially personal problems," Watson said. Often when a person has a personal problem he will mull the situation over and over in his mind without ever taking action on it. Watson says agonizing over a problem takes a great · deal of time that could be oetter spent on finding a solution to it
There are steps that can be taken to help improve problem solving skills. "The first step is to commit yourself to an action of organized thinking," Watson said.
To return to Joe College's hypothetical series of problems, the core of the problem has been idenified and the information has been organized The next step is for Joe to form as many alternative solutions to the core problem as possible.
Finding solutions
He might consider buying an alarm clock with a louder alarm, changing his sleep habits, or possibly even switching to a night jobif he is a habitual night owl. The important thing for him to remember though is not to reject any possible solution unless his information suggests that the idea won't work.
Once committed to improving thought processes, the procedure for developing problem solving skills is relatively simple. First, the problem must be defined. This may sound obvious, but Watson says that often people don't understand what the core of the problem is because it becomes clouded by a score of superficial problems that grow from the original one.
Finding the core
Watson said that no idea should be rejected until enough information has been gathered to ju tify feeling the solution won't work Watson feels that many dismiss good ideas on the basis that "it's never been done that way before " Creative problem solving reqires occasional risk taking by ihe thinker to test new ideas
Watson says to find the core of a problem an individual must take a look at his current situation and then back-track step-by-step until the core of the problem is identified.
With this done, the second step in efficient problem solving is to organize the information that was collected in defining the problem.
Joe must now choose the best, or possibly the least objectional alternative solution to his problem.
Problems don't arise by accident. "Things just don't happen," Watson said, "they happen as a result of planning or lack of planning." Organized thinking doesn't replace human emoti on in the solving of personal problems but rather helps one to think out the problem more logically.
Say, for example, Joe College was home and working during a break from school and these problems arose. In examining his situation, Joe found that on a particular day he overslept, he got a ticket for speeding on his way to work and got chewed out by the boss for being late. At first he thought that all of his problems resulted from oversleeping
Creative problem soiving is often hindered by the fact that most people use primarily the left side of the brain. Research by Nobel Prize Winner Dr. Roger Sperry has shown that the left side of the brain is almost computerlike, performing speaking and writing tasks and mechanical calculations while the right side of the brain is much more creative in nature.
However, after orgamzmg the information and retracing back to the core of the problem Joe found that it wasn't oversleeping that was behind his woes but staying up to watch \he late show that caused such hardship. In staying up to watch the late show Joe caused himself to sleep through the alarm which triggered his other problems
Now that the problem has been defined and the information clearly organized, the next step is to form alternative solutions for resolving the
The left side of the brain is usually dominant while the right side is passive. Musicians, dancers, ' artists, inventors and writers are often more in touch with the right side of the brain and this allows them to be more creative, according to Watson.
Left and right
Watson believes that we must begin to develop a working relationship between the left and right sides of the brain. "We have to know how to deal with ideas creatively."

Alpha Sigma Phi: the sole national alternative
By Laurie Andrix
AlphaSigma Phi is the first and only national ratern1ty on Otterbein's campus The fraternity i currently an associate member of the Interfraternity ouncil.
I THefraternity was founded at Yale University· in 1845 and is the seventh oldest fraternity in the nation. The motto is "To Better the Man," the colors are red and grey. and the club flower is the f'alisman rose. Alpha Sigma Phi's nickname is Phoenix.
Lowery also said the process to become a chapter member includes the following: paying $600 to National Chapter, have to meet aca demic standards, and write a detailed constitution.
As an associate member of the Interfraternity Council, Alpha Sig does not have the right to vote but they sit in on all the meetings.
"The overall response to us from the other Greek organizations has been great," Lowery said. "Being the only national fraternity on campus ha sn' t caused much problems ." The fraternities across the nation are broken down into provinces. Otterbein's colony of Alpha Sig is in Province 5 along with Ohio State University of Cincinnati , Ohio Northern and Findlay College. Famous Alpha Sig members are Clint Eastwood, Vince Price and Tom Watson.
I he Alpha Sig's on Otterbein's campus consist of eleven members. Since they aren't officially a chapter fraternity the men of Alpha Sig are considered a colony which is called Phi Beta Colony The fraternitv had the highest grade point average last term of all the other fratern1t1es with a 3.5.
At the end of the fall term the members hold elections for officers. The officers have to have 2 .5 grade point average or better. The process of the election is as follows: they nominate people for office one week and elect them the next week. The person who nominate another person ha s to tell why they nominated that person. The person running for the office ha s to tell why they want that office.
Presiidcnt Dave Lowery said that they are looking for a house to buy or rent I Lowerysaid, "We can't buy a hous e until we have 25 active member ."
Lowery also said the major goal of the fraternity is to be an official chapter by the end of the year. Other goals include getting more pledges, getting a house and getting involved in more social activities.
There's a variety of majors in the fraternity ranging from pre-med to theater and religion.
Last spring these members brought Tau Delta back on campus for the first
time smce 1977.

EKT arb.utus is 'strong in growth but not showy'
By Pam Clay
Epsilon Kappa Tau has grown from being a sorority of only five members when it was founded in 1917 to being last year's largest sorority with 59 members.
Epsilon Kappa Tau, better known as EKT or Arbutus, was founded in 1917 by five girls. Rena Rayot, one of the original members, _was the first president of the soron_ty. Otterbein College did not recognize Greek organizations until the fall of 1921 so they held secret meetings. One interesting piece of information is one of Epsilon Kappa Tau's original members, Evelyn Darlene Hall, a freshman in 1917, is still living. She resides at the Otterbein Home in Lebanon, Ohio.
One of EK T'ssymbols is the trailing Arbutus. The trailing Arbutus is a five petal pink flower suggested by Bertha Hancock, one of the members. Hancock found the flower growing on a mountain in Pennsylvania and suggested it be the organization's flower She said the flower symbolized being strong in growth, but not showy :
The sorority's colors are pink and white. These colors were derived from their flower, the trailing arbutus. The motto of the sorority is "Eros Kai Timi" or translated it means "Love and Honor."
IThe sorority moved into their house at I 07 West Park Street in 1975. The house is owned by EKT alumni Grace Augspurger, who graduated in 1939. The members living in the house pay their rent to her. Before moving into their present house, the sorority had a house across the street from the one they are living in now.
A requirement for living in the house is abiding by the rules and reguI"°ilions of Otterbein College. There-are IO girls living in the nine room house. Seniors are given preference for being able to live in the house, with emphasis being placed on the ones who have not lived there before. Any remaining spaces in the house are then open to the juniors.
Another of EKT's symbols is the pink panther. This mascot was started by the pledge class of 1979. The pledges drew pink panthers on their banner for the pledge olympics. This symbol evolved from the pledge banner and has since been a part of EK T sorority.
The letters EKT represent Otterbein's largest sorority.
_ The governing structure of EKT consists of executive offices elected during the spring term. Examples of elected offices of the sorority are president, vice president, recording secretary, treasurer, corresponding secre-
tary, pledge mistress, executive council representatives, house manager and Panhellenic Council representatives. Members sign up and are placed on different committees.
P. Beta Sigma oldest Greek, with active record
• · by Bill Daubenmtre
While the greek structure today Seems as if it must have been around Since time (or at least Otterbein) began it is easy to forget someone had to be the originators of the structure.
In I 908, Otterbein's first fraternity was organized, against the wishes of the administration, faculty, and president of the "university", Walter Clippinger. Even after the formation of other similar organizations, meetings had to be held in secret. Greek organizations weren't recognized officially as "social groups" until I 921.
members for $200 a term. Currently, seven of the 12 active members live in the house.
The officers for the remainder of the term are President Rob Rose, Vicepresident Brad Rieichter, Secretary Dan Kaplow, and Treasurer Les - Epstein.
While the members of the organization pride themselves as being "indivi• duals" with a hodgepodge of interests and activities the entire group, as a group, stays active in a variety of both Greek and all campus events.
The name of Otterbein's first fraternity was Pi Betta Sigma, an organization which is still active on campus today.

Polar Bears stiff challenge in DAG .tip-off
By Dave Graham Dramatics,
Otter bein basketball fans saw plenty of th e m last year, and the opening game o f the 1982 Ohio Co nference seaso n promises to be mo re of t he same. The number one ranke d O h io No rthern Polar Bears in va d e th e R ik e C e nter Saturday to pl ay th e n u m ber three Cardinals 8-3.
Otterbeins' starting five remains unchanged with senior point guard Jeff Kessler, 5-foot 9-inches,' running the offense and leading the Conference for assists. Joining Kessler in the backcourt is division III scoring leader junior Ron Stewart , 5-foot, IO-inches , 28.3 ppg.
Reynolds insists that the team must not look ahead and added, "I know it is a cliche' but we have to play them one at a time, and each one as if it were our last. all we're concerned with is that it's our first conference game."
In an informal poll taken by the Na ti o n a l Assoc ia tion of Basketball , Coaches las t we ek , Ohio Northern was t a bb ed numb e r one nationally and Ott e rb ei n was pic ked third
Th e P o lar Bears 8-3 so far this seaso n will b r in g t o Westerville one of the le a gu e' s talles t line-ups featuring 6-fo ot 7- inc h all-American Stan M o ri es. Mories scored 16.8 points per ga me last seaso n and hauled in I 0.2 re b o und s.
The forwards for the Cardinals are seniors Steve Johns,ton, 6-foot , 3-inch, and Dino Guanciale, 6-1. Senior John Denen, 6-4, holds down the center position, giving Otterbein a very quick and agile line-up to offset the lack of height.
Reynolds commends Denen's play against the bigger opponents so far this year. "John has done an exceptional job, with his size We want to work Keiser and Waver into the middle some more to release John to the outside," Reynolds said.
The OAC action kicks off throughout the state at 7:30 on Saturday I n other conference games: Capital travels to

"We have to play our own style. Our hope this year is to be able to pay our own style , not change for other-s." he continued
Card coach Dic k Reynolds, who has faced severa l taller teams already thjs season, n o ted that he "will use Carl (Weaver, 6- 7) and Brad (Keiser, 6-5) consi d e rably again st the · bigger teams, depe ndi ng on how the game goes."
Reynolds noted that some areas of the Cardinal attack are not yet satisfactory "There are obviously parts of the game that we need to work on, such as our defense " he noted The Cards inal defense has allowed 82.5 points per contest, which is next to last in the OAC. The Cardinal Offense is tops in the loop with 89 points each time out.
