tterbein seeks millions in capital campaign
By Rose Shiplett
The Otterbein development office is proposing a capital campaign fund to increase the College's endowment, according to Frank Fite, vice president for development and public relations. Currently, Otterbein's endowment stands at $5.5 million, said Fite. He
said this is low for a college of this size although he cited other schools of similar size with comparable endowments.
Otterbein's endowment fund needs to be increased to $10 - $15 million, added Fite. Although an exact dollar amount has not yet been approved for the campaign, plans for it have been under way since July of 1982, he said.
QC gets sneak preview of spring
Fite said that the first step in planning was to state a case for the campaign. The College needed to establish the purpose of the campaign in order to go ahead with plans.
Secondly, two steering committees were formed to give additional direction to the campaign drive: an oncampus committee and a trustee committee.
The faculty were also involved with planning the campaign. They were asked what they thought the College needed and what changes were necessary.
In addition, the College is now looking at several professional companies to help implement the campaign. "Professional companies allow a more objective input," Fite said.
The company will help the college determine where the campaign gifts might be generated, besides helping to publish brochures and literature , to send to potential donors. Fite said the company also "helps reassure that you have taken all the necessary steps you can."
This campaign will attempt to generate a mixture of gifts, according to Fite. ft will seek gifts such as securities, real estate and life income agreements in addition to cash donations. Fite said it will also seek funds from individuals' wills. This type of gift is termed a "planned" or "deferred" gift.
In terms of ra1smg funds for the campaign itself, the College is looking to corporations and government foundations for gifts, in addition to friends and alumni.
The major thrust of the campaign is to raise the endowment in order to increase the number of scholarships, according to Fite. The campaign will also fund other areas of student life such as the renovation of dormitories and possibly the construction of tennis courts. It will also fund various academic departments within the College.

Spring is in the air at Otterbein College. Kim Whitmore decides to take advantage of the recent great weather and take a bicycle tour of OC.
Three students qualified for April speech nationals
By Joy Grandstaff
Three members of the Otterbein College Speech team qualified for the national speech competition to be held April 21-25 at Illinois State University.
Dave Williams, Jo O'Connor, and Don Miller qualified at the Ohio State Spring Individual Speaking Events tournament held last Saturday.
Williams placed sixth in the Impromptu Speaking category, O'Connor placed third in After Dinner Speaking and Miller placed sixth in Extemporaneous Speaking and fourth in Impromptu Speaking.
Frank Fite
The campaign has already -generated over $3 million, said Fite. By June of 1984 the college expects to have 40 percent of the total gifts pledged, he added. The campaign is expected to extend at least through 1987.
According to Fite, this is the largest campaign drive Otterbein has ever undertaken, adding that Otterbein has never had a drive of more than $2.5 million.
Reynolds recaps season, Ron Stewart voted MVP
By Jeffery A. Smith
The men's basketball season came to a close at Otterbein as the basketball team held their annual banquet in the Campus Center March I.
sponsors, office workers, and the team itself work very hard; they deserve a night like this."
Following Saturday's tournament, Otterbein has qualified four speakers to nationals, according to Ludlum. "Karen Raab qualified for nationals this fall at the Ohio State Fall Individual Events tournament," said Ludlum.
According to Ludlum, Otterbein usually has at least one student qualify for nationals, but not four. "This is the first year in a long time we've had four students going," said Ludlum. Ludlum said two additional tournaments are scheduled before the nationals, which may provide a chance for more students to qualify.
John Ludlum, adviser for the team, claims the team worked very hard in preparation for this tournament. "The secret to being successful is hard work and the students gave their speeches over and over last week in preparation for the event," said Ludlum.
Despite the disappomtmg season, there was much enthusiasm at the banquet. Even though all the injuries and rough going of this season, there are high hopes for the next.
"This was our rebuilding year," remarked Coach Dick Reynolds. "We lost a lot of people last season, and replaced them with a younger and less experienced team. We were also plagued with injuries and had one of the toughest schedules during winter break among OAC teams."
"I am not dissatisfied with anyone on this team - coaches or players," continued Reynolds. "We'll come back next year and I guarantee we will not be 7-17 " Reyriolds looks forward to these kind of banquets every year. "It's a small way to repay all the people who spend time in helping the bask e tball team function. Cheerleaders, coaches,
Ron Stewart won the Most Valuable Player award for the season, a year in which he became OC's all-time leading scorer and moved into second place for most points scored in the OAC. "His work and dedication to the team paid off. He deserved it," said Reynolds.
"It was a thrill playing for Otterbein, and I'm glad to have been a part of all this," commented Stewart. "I hope I can continue to play basketball somewhere, but for now I can only wait and see."
Along with the MVP, Stewart shared the co-captain award with Joe Benson.
With guys like Stewart and Benson leaving, one might wonder how the basketball team will do next year. "We're going to win," said Reynolds. "Next year, we are going to be an entirely new team. It is going to take a collective effort from all the players for us to be a winning team. If we play with the talent we are capable of, l know we can do it."
All it takes is a little effort
"I don't know." "It's closer," "I don't know." "I don't know."
These are just a few of the responses the T & C received when asking students why they found it necessary to walk across the yard of Towers Hall instead of on the sidewalk.
The T&C staff felt these were very sound reasons, but would like to point out one fact: the yard looks like hell. We realize that the sidewalk connecting the side door of Towers at Main Street does not connect at the crosswalk, but we feel students could take the extra three seconds and walk on the sidewalk; especially when the ground is soft in the spring.
ln case students and faculty haven't noticed, the grass that used to be growing on the embankment next to the sidewalk and on the diagonal stretch to the sidewalk is now a worn path that frequently turns to mud.
To some, this probably seems like no big deal. However, the T&C feels that the Otterbein community should become more aware of the appearance of the campus and their role in preser.ving it. For no other reason, our view of Towers lawn would be a lot nicer if people could stay on the sidewalk.
It's your campus, why not make it look its best?

Florida trip not so hot
These Hanby and Clements residents seem to have the right idea but the wrong location. As spring break approaches, Otterbein has been blessed with what some have been calling "Florida weather." If you happen to be among the majority of people who cannot afford the trip to Florida, do not dismay. It seems that Westerville might have warm weather and sunshine, also. Besides, look on the bright side: you won't have to pack and unpack, you won't be shoved out of line at the airport, you won't have to be squeezed into a Chevette that is already hauling t four people, you won't have sand sticking to your skin at the beach, and you won't get salt water up your nose. These are all advantages to of: staying in Ohio over break. By the way, does anyone have any extra room in a car going south?

Cleanliness is next to Godliness
We would like to congratulate the Ke-Wa-Pa Krew members whose restrooms won the award for being the cleanest in our recent T &C investigation. (See story on page 6.) The T &C realizes that the work done in cleaning the dormitories is often one that goes unrecognized and few Ke-Wa-Pa Krew members receive the thanks they deserve.
To those whose restrooms received the worst restroom awards, shame on you. The students who live in the residence halls pay for and expect their living area to be as clean as possible. We realize that no dorm is going to look like home, but an effort for sanitation is surely needed.
To those whose restrooms were neither the best or the worst, better luck next time. The T &C is planning a surprise follow-up investigation at which you may have the chance to be among the award winners for the cleanest restrooms. Do your best to stay out of the worst restroom category; not only for your own benefit, but for those who have to live in the hall.
Cardinal leaves ·the nest?
There has been some earth-shattering news on our campus concerning our school mascot. We do not have one.
On behalf of some good reporting of one of our T &C reporters, (see story on page 7) our faithful bird who appears at all of our home football and basketball games has not been officially voted as the Otterbein mascot.
You know· how a name gets started and it just seems to stick with us for a while. Well, that is how the Cardinal became our unofficial mascot.
Well readers, what do you think your official mascot should be? Should we stick with the Cardinal or change to the Otters or choose a whole new name?
How would this sound? The Tan and Otters or the Tan and J Polar Bears or the Tan and Student Princes. We could stick with a bird as our mascot and be the Tan and Hummingbirds. -c: · Whatever the decision may be it should be abl e to make us look like a winning school and have us be proud to have this symbol as our mascot without having, for exampl e, a mascot like the Crusaders.
Vance review finds 'Symposium' with thematic impact
By Dr. Sylvia Vance
"Symposium ," the winter term publication of the Quiz and Quill organizat10n, achieves an 1mpress1ve visual and thematic impact, and earns a "Bravo" for liveliness to those who put it together. From Jim LeMaster's striking cover clear through to the tone of the Contributors page ("Dave Eisnaugle is on the Tan and Cardinal staff. He has a gorgeous aunt."), robust delight in recalling Petronius' first-century Sat y ricon is evident. (Juli Slack's "Editor's Note" explains the intent which the corpulent Roman banqueter enlivening the text personifies.) The reader can almost sense from the format of the publication the camraderie of staff and advisers who have enjoyed "doing" this issue.
And how intriguing it is that the title, "Symposium," evokes not only the realistic (not to say vulgar) wit embodied in the pretentious banquet of Petronius' newly-rich Trimalchio, but also that most notable of symposia, Plato's dialogue on love. Love, born from the union of Poverty and Plenty, there emerged for Western culture as the classic intermediary between all forms of beauty. How well this issue of Quiz and Quill, in sounding both realistic and idealistic notes, extends the overtones "symposium" suggests. I surmise that for the students who prepared this publication, it may well have served to put the banquet back in philosophy. Hail to the varied feast!

Charlie Daruda's "Crazy Ray" initiates the offerings on a strong note, as it evokes the self-centeredness of dementia struggling for completion and equilibrium: "If I move 'round fast enough, / to each corner, / I have company. / So I'm not alone." More splintered and more complex than the fundamental Platonic concept of "halves of each other," the tone of the poem calls forth the many selves of Charlie Chaplin, or the vagaries of Vladimir and Estragon trying out names in Waiting for Godot.
Dave Eisnaugle's "Late Night Lover" needs, perhaps - if I may suggest in the terms of the verse - some revision really to score. But it is a witty bit of realism, loneliness, and longmg.
"The Savage Mind" by Tim McMasters has good movement and a striking (not to say chilling) theme. The course of the poem enlarges and elucidates for the reader what the word "savage" means, utilizing an effective, aggressively realistic imagery in the manner that Baudelaire brought into the realm of the poetic. There is real talent present here.
So is there, also, in Stacey Ciancio's "Fragile," though in a different, more lyrical realm, and expressed through a more slight offering. This poem succeeds in what it sets out to do. I'd like to see more of what this author can accomplish.
In "Pining for the Pines, "Charlotte Latvala brings to life in prose a favorite place, where she is both alone and
not alone, where her surroundings live through the labor and the personality of her grandfather and of her grandmother. There are phrases here that work very well indeed, such as "our tough little homestead." The reader discovers the paradox of the "beach," where the word remains but the fact has sifted away. Good essay, expressing the kindredness of generations in a concrete way.
Donna Roedema must delight in sounds, to judge from "Keeping Secrets." We might almost call this one "Experiment in S," or perhaps "Essay on S" (invoking Montaigne's sense of an essay as a "trying out").
"A Little Ditty About Pepper:" how can a devoted pepper user (this reviewer) not be drawn to this offering by Charlie Daruda? Some good lines, and good fun.
"The Madman" by Arif Mahmood utilizes a poetic resource that is not too often tapped these days - the incantatory nature of language. For this reader, the first two sections of his work are more successful than the third at evoking this cumulative magic.
Kimberly M. West has a splendid concept in "Mirror," but to me there is something troubling in its expression. Perhaps it is the syntax that on occasion is unsteady, or perhaps the typographical devices lend a brief confusion (as on p. 16). But some good lines.
I asked myself why the editors chose to end the offerings with Jody Moor's "Marriage," where "in love" becomes "in the tide [ of responsibility]." But the feast does come to an end in everyday reality, does it not? And even Plato's symposium ends when it is interrupted by revelers from off the street, who turn the discussion to their own needs
Reviewer Dr. Sylvia Vance
In sum, accolades to the editors, Juli Slack and Leslie Epstein and to the staff who prepared "Symposium." t- The advisers, Dr. Cecile Gray and Dr. Douglas Gray, are to be commended ..i:: for their labors on behalf of literarv creativity. It is a joy to report that -£ Quiz and Quill is alive and well and living at Otterbein.
English humor highlights Sunday night on Channel 34
By Charlotte Latvala
So, you say you missed the British "class act" television productions like Brideshead Revisited and /, Claudius? You've never even seen any limey comedy coups like Monty Python's Flying Circus or Fawlty Towers? Well , now is the time to turn on the tube, pop open a beer, and experience the funniest export from Lady Di-land since Adam Ant. Yes, those of you in-the-know realize I mean The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which began airing in Columbus on Channel 34 a few short weeks ago. If you have a spare half hour at 11 :30 on Sunday nights (at Otterbein, who doesn't), and your mind isn't too glue-like from seeing Benny Hill re-runs, give this show a chance. (Also, you can know all
about it by the time your trendy friends realize it's the "next big thing."
Hitch-hiker technically qualifies as science fiction, but it's not Star Wars or Battlestar Galactica. The show is produced by the BBC, and is based on a radio program and book by Douglas Adams. It stars a daring journalist from outer space who is revising a book called (can you guess it?) The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Ga/ax1·. Ford Prefect, clad every week in clashing plaids and stripes, travels from planet to planet updating the information in the book. He does some research on the Planet Earth. Unfortunately, Earth is scheduled for demolition by the Vogons, who are building a hyperspace bypass. Whoops.
Prefect rescues a single Earthling, the humble Arthur Dent. Dent, attired
in a stylish bathrobe, gets quite befuddled at the adventures the pair proceed to have. Before Earth's destruction, Prefect flags down a Vogon spaceship and the two embark on a journey of inspired silliness.
The Guide itself is an electronic book that contains most of the collected knowledge of the galaxy. Excerpts, in computer graphic form, regularly interrupt the action to provide helpful insights for the viewer.
As you can tell, Hitch-hiker features lighthearted fun and inventive imagination. No heavy messages or social commentary abound, except in the most broad sarcastic way. The
characters are cleverly drawn and are much more original than anything American television has produced lately. (With the exception of SCTV. but that's Canadian anyway.)
Some people may not understand the sly British humor of Hitch-hiker but they can always turn the channel and watch Sarah Jov bounce on Madame's Place. For ti1e discriminating television watcher, this science fiction comedy ranks above its competitors. But be warned. Hitch-hiker is contagious.
'competitiveness' sparks team unity
An old adage is, 'You are judged by the company you keep.' If this holds true, the Otterbein golf team will be searching for national recognition in '83.
The Ohio Athletic Conference last year flexed its muscles. as five teams finished in the top 15 in the nation and more than five golfers earned AllAmerican status from conference squads.
This year's Cardinal team is comprised of nine men. The seniors are: co-captain Mike Connor of Columbus and Steve Wiley of Westerville. Juniors on this year's team are Scott Simmons and Steve Buzza. Simmons, a co-captain, is from Marion, while Buzza is a Pittsburgh native. Sophomores consist of Frank Irion Columbus; Greg Hippler, Canal' Winchester; and first year competitor Ken Day, West Liberty. Freshmen Jerry Fairchild and Mark Porter will be joining the team in the spring. Fairchild is from Prospect, while Porter hails from Chillicothe.
Irion said there is a good team condition, "We're competitive and are a tight-knit group. It'll be a dogfight, for all spots are open."
The team is practicing at Blackhawk Golf Course located near Sunbury before leaving for Santee Cooper, S.C. to play in a 54-hole national qualifier over spring break.
The Cardinal's first match is the Glenfield Invitational March 25-26 at Oxbow, West Virginia. The only home match for Otterbein will be held in April with Capital, Denison, and Muskingum, at the Little Turtle Golf Course.
The team is coached by Rich Seils and Bill Hillier.
"Potentially, we can compete with anyone," said Irion, "We should qualify for nationals."

(women's track) three hope for trip to nationals
Otterbein you're in for a treat! May 6 will feature IO women's track and field teams at Otterbein's Memorial Stadium. The meet will be, for many, the last chance to qualify for nationals.
Coach Jim Thoma, in his first outdoor season at Otterbein, said because there is no All-Ohio meet this season for women, many teams are gearing for the Cardinal Invitational.
This year's squad includes nine women. Thoma thinks three can qualify for the Division III Nationals at North Central College in Illinois.
Sophomore Tyra Horn missed qualifying for the outdoor national championships two weeks ago by onehalf of an inch, a length that Thoma thinks the shot putter will pick up in the outdoor season. Thoma believes two freshmen have good chances to qualify for the May 26-28 Nationals who are Candee Morris and Cindy Olsen. Both Morris and Olsen will participate in different events in the spring than they did in the winter. Morris will compete in the discus and Olsen will compete in the I 00-meter dash.
The team is coming off a sixthplace finish in the indoor conference meet two weeks ago. Since then the Cards have been making the transition from indoors to outdoors. Thoma thinks the events offered in the outdoor meets that could not be run indoors will help the team in spring competition, due to the longer sprints in which the start isn't so vital to the result of the race.
Top teams in the Women's O.A.C. will be Ohio Wesleyan and Kenyon. The women's first meet of the season will be Ohio Wesleyan and Kenyon. The women's first meet of the season will be April 1-2 at Ohio University. Teams competing in the 0. U Relays are mostly Division I and II Schools, something Thoma feels will help the team toward the bigger inter-conference meets later in the season.
(men's tennis) Nelson 'served' by nine vets
Beginning the season with nine returning lettermen is one bright spot for the Otterbein men's tennis team this year.
The 12-man team brings back not only nine veteran players, but also brings in a new coach. Tom Nelson is beginning his first year as head coach of the men's tennis team.
According to Nelson, the team should have pretty good depth this year. "Since this is my first year, I can't foresee the future of the team as of yet," he said.
Number one seed Scott Cavanagh, sophomore, will lead this year's team with freshman Dan Morris as the number two seed. Dondi Pangalangan will play in the number three seed spot and Andy Sinclair will follow in the number four seed spot. The top four seeds will comprise the top two doubles teams.
The team will begin its regular season •with a home match against Wilmington March 29. All of the home matches will be held at the Westerville Golf and Tennis Center. Ohio Wesleyan, ranked second in the Division III, is considered to be tough competition against the Otterbein team, according to Nelson. "Right now, Ohio Wesleyan is the only team I know of as being really strong," said Nelson.
Before the team begins their regular season, the team will travel to Florida to play in the south. The team will leave March 19 and play some junior colleges in the Boca Raton area. Some of the colleges they will be competing against are Florida Atlantic College, Palm Beach Junior College, and Broward College . "I really don't know anything about these colleges, but Florida has a lot of good tennis players because of the warm weather," said Nelson.
Nelson's first look at seeing his players in competition will be in Florida. "It will give me a chance to look at the players and see how they do in • competition," said Nelson.
As far as the practice facilities for tennis go at Otterbein , Nelson feels it is nice to have a place to practice both indoors and outdoors. He prefers to practice outdoors because most of their matches will be held outside. According to Nelson, an indoor court is usually a faster court than what the team is used to playing on
Looking at the team in the Jong range, Nelson said the team has much potential. With the facilities Otterbein has for the tennis program, Nelson said the college should be able to recruit some tennis players from the Central Ohio area
(men's track) Burns heats up for final season
After a best-ever finish at the Ohio Conference championships last weekend, the Cardinal track team has once again set sights on a lofty finish in the outdoor season.
Coach Porter Miller's squad ended in a tie for second place with BaldwinWallace in the OAC meet at Ohio Wesleyan last Friday and Saturday. The team's performance was the best in the school's history. Mt. Union was the overall champ
Miller said his team is in a position to improve in the outdoor season over last year's third place spot.
"Baldwin-Wallace's program has slipped a bit; they will be stronger in the outdoor season, but so will we," he said.
A realistic goal for the Cards this year is a second place finish, according to Miller.
"Mt. Union is simply awesome this year. I would love to bring home an OAC championship, but I think second place is realistic," he said. If the Cards reach this goal it will equal their previous best for the outdoor season.
Miller sees the team's strengths as distance events, mainly because of senior Mark Burns, who has already qualified for the Outdoor Nationals in the 1500-meter competition with a 3:52.2 time. Pole vaulter Jim Smith, who has twice broken Otterbein's indoor record at 14'6", also gives the Cards strength.
Miller also pointed out the importance of Sheldon Robinson, who competes in five events. Robinson injured a hamstring at the indoor championships but is expected to return for the team's outdoor schedule.
Kicking off the season is the Domino Pizza Relays at Florida State University over spring break. Domino's is donating a dollar from each pizza bought this Friday , Saturday, and Sunday to help the team raise money for its trip.
Captains for the 1983 track team are Burns and shotputter Jon Divine.

(women's tennis) Tyler counts on freshmen for support
The Otterbein Women's varsity tennis team begins its 1983 season tomorrow playing an exhibition match against Aquinas College of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The match begins a season which coach Dr. JoAn'n Tyler believes will be highly successful.
The team is led by senior Michelle Fox, a semi-finalist in last year's state satellite tournament. Other players returning from last year's starting squad are sophomores Wendy Miller and Jo O'Connor. Tyler also expects a valuable contribution from sophomore Terri Jones.
Despite the loss to graduation of 1982 players Lyn Ballinger and Kelli Thacker, Tyler feels this year's team will be stronger than last year's team. This assumption is due mainly to the addition of many talented freshmen, most notably Amy Pangalangan and Cheryl Bone. Tyler is also expecting contributions from Ronda Gearhart Shelly Travis, Laura Moore and Lisa Cooke.
Tyler said the exhibition match is "something I've never tried before, but I think it will help us prepare for the season."
The team is presently playing challenge matches which will determine the starting singles positions when the ladies play their first regular season match, March 31 against Capital.
The women will play 11 matches this season with six home matches.
The season ends with the Satellite Tournament to be held at Ohio Wesleyan University. Any player who wms her bracket at this tournament is invited to the state championships at Denison University. Fox missed a shot at the state championships by one match last year, and Tyler feels she can better that achievement this year.
With the mixture of youth and experience, the team looks like a shoein to better it's 1982 record of 3-4. Tyler said, "the team has the potential to do extremely well in both the season and the tournament."
All weekday matches begin at 3:00 p.m. with Saturday matches beginning at 10:00 a.m.
( baseball) hitters defend division title
If the 1983 Otterbein baseball squad is to repeat as Southern Conference champs in the O.A.C. they will have to achieve it with young talent.
Now in his 16th year as head coach, Dick Fishbaugh must face the challenge of replacing seven starters from last season. Gone from last year is pitching ace Jeff Harper, short stop Lee Cooperrider, infielders Steve Mazur and Dave Nespeca, and center fielder Don Good. "I feel we could replace most of the talent that graduated last year," Fishbaugh said, "but it will be tough."
If the Cardinal diamondmen are to be competitive this season, they will have to rely on a very young pitching staff. This year's staff is comprised of all sophomores with the exception of senior Jeff Henderson. Kirk McDonald, Ob Hartman, Doug Gates, Ed Conard, Glen Alexander and Dave Eckleberry make up a promising staff for this year's team. McDonald compiled a 3.25 E.R.A. last year while starting as a freshman. Ob Hartman, 4.35 E. R.A,will be shooting for a starting spot in the rotation. Left hander Glen Alexander, a transfer student from Columbus Technical Institute, will provide an explosive fast ball for the opposing batters. "Right now Alexander will be in the starting rotation," Fishbaugh said. Otterbein will greatly miss the services of curve ball specialist Don Atwell this season due to arm trouble.
Otterbein will be strong in the catching position. "We have depth at the catching area with Dave Whitehead, Mike Goodwin, and Tim Harris," Fishbaugh said. Whitehead, a junior, and Goodwin a sophomore, will share the catching and first base duties. Freshman Tim Harris will provide power as the designated hitter.
Senior co-captain Bret Brownfield will play at second base while carrying a solid .310 batting average. Jon Mastel, a junior, will start at short stop replacing Cooperrider. "Jon has good range and good tools," Fishbaugh said. "We expect a lot out of him." Co-captain Mike Blythe, a .400 hitter, will round the infield off at third base.
Roaming the out field for the Cards are Jim Hoyle, Dave Weaver, and Keith Evans. Hoyle, a senior, carries a .405 B.A. and will play left field. Dave Weaver will step in and play center field. "I feel Dave is capable of replacing Don Good," said Fishbaugh, "but they are big shoes to fill." Sophomore Keith Evans will play in right field.
Fishbaugh feels optimistic about this year's squad. "If the consistency in pitching is there, then it is very possible to repeat as champs, but the key is pitching," he said.
The Cardinals will play 18 games in 10 days in Florida over spring break. They will open their season in Ohio against Denison University at Granville on April 2.
softball Women will show quickness and power
Coach Amy Riddle has set three goals for the 1983 softball season: "l want us to finish among the top three teams in the state, play more consistently,and work together as a teain."
Eight of the 14 women who hope to help achieve these goals are return players from last year, said Riddle.
"One advantage this year will be the fact that three-fourths of our outfield will have experience," said Riddle.
Left-center fielder Carolyn Barnhill, left fielder Jackie Cave and rightcenter fielder Susan Ogier will all be playing again this year. Cave was voted Most Valuable Player in 1982.
Also returning for the Cards are second basemen Kathy Cole and Chris Gustafson, third baseman Jill Schlichter and pitcher Lisa Sleith.
"Sleith backed up our starting pitcher, Mindy Gossett, all last year," said Riddle. "She throws a nice curve for a softball pitcher."
Riddle also claims that the team will be much quicker this year. "We have a lot of little speedsters out this year," she said.
"Another advantage will be our batting power," said Riddle. "Cave was our second leading home run hitter last year, and Barnhill has been switch hitting which will enable her to hit into right field," said Riddle.
One difference in this softball season will be the lack of assistant coach for the team. "Terri Hazucha will not be the assistant coach because of her obligations as the new women's athletic director," explained Riddle.
"l think with the veterans coming back and the new talent trying out this year, we can definitely improve our record from last year's 12-14," said Riddle.
The first softball game will be held Wednesday, March 30, against Baldwin-Wallace and Wittenberg at 2:30 p.m. on the Otterbein diamond.

T&C investigates OC donn restroom conditions

How does your Ke-Wa-Pa person stack up?
In a recent T & C undercover investigation, four reporters inspected the college dormitory restrooms for overall cleanliness.

We found out from all sources that Ke-Wa-Pa Krew cleaning should be completed by 5 p.m. on weekdays. We are aware there are some exceptions to this rule and some are allowed to clean after 5 p.m.
