Briggs resigns position as admission's dean
Morris
By Greg Stemm
Briggs, dean of admissions
has resigned, effective when his current contract expires at the end of this June.
Briggs cited several different reasons for his resignation.
Briggs said job pressure was a major factor.
"The position, from a pomt of stress, is one of the most difficult on campus," said Briggs.
"I just don't want to contmue the kinds of pressure and commitments that I feel are necessary to make this job successful," said Briggs. "I'd just like to try something else completely outside of education," he added.
Briggs also said he felt he had to wear "two bats" in the last few years, one as dean and the other as a data processer for Otterbein's recruitment system.
"I've really been filling two hats; systems analyst or program analysis, and dean. I have devoted a good deal of time in the past three years to the whole area of word processing," said Briggs.
Donald Bulthaup, dean of academics, and the administrator directly above Briggs, agreed Briggs has worked hard on the word processing system.
"He almost single-handedly developed the word processing system and is the only person on campus who can run it with a great deal of skill," said Bulthaup.
agement jobs. Interviews from bundreds of executives argue that women are better managers than men because they are more sensitive to office politics and the feelings of subordinates. They say women are skilled at noticing small details and subtle changes in events, therefore detecting potential problems early and often diffusing it before it turns into a real conflict.
Many experts say that since most women in positions of authority had to work their way through the same jobs that their subordinates hold, they are more empathetic and are apt to create a good working environment by praise and constructive criticism. This works to their advantage by gaining subordinates respect and cooperation. Therefore, women can thrive in a competitive environment. While only a small number of people take this point of view, the majority still seem to believe in the notions that women are not aggressive enough, they are too emotionally unstable, they can't handle pressure, they are too dependent and passive, and they don't play the right games that are needed to be in a management position. But, put a women who has been a participant in sports, which gives her agressiveness and drive, and you have a person who deviates from the customary female ideas and is more prepared for the real world.
Limited access of females to athletics, which has taught males the values of aggressiveness and winning since elementary school may be one
Morris Briggs
Bulthaup and Briggs disagree on the importance of the mid year resignation of Max Banek, former assistant dean of admissions as a factor in Briggs' decision to resign.
"No, I would say (it) was not (a factor). There were two different problems, for a long time the job was not pleasant for Max (Banek). There's been enough time since Max; of course the transition was hard, but all transitions are hard," said Bulthaup. Briggs agrees to a point, but also emphasized the earlier resignation affecting his job.
reason why females are underachievers. In America we use athletics extensively to teach attitudes. We value athletics because they are competitive. They teach that achievement and success are worth disciplining oneself for. Womens athletic programs will develop more aggressive females, women with confidence who value personal achievement and have a strong sense of identity. Women who have the regular experience of performing before others, of learning to win and lose, of cooperating in team efforts, will be far less fearful of taking on roles that have been traditionally male dominated.
Female athletes appear not to care particularly about the sex role labels, yet maintain many of the attitudes associated with feminity. They are more comfortable in behavior patterns thaf fit both feminine and masculine images and thus are not scared to be in positions of authority. Female athletes therefore seem to have two social selves for particular situations: their competitive self is high in achievement, dominance, and aggressiveness, while affiliation, humility, and deference make up the social self.
Achievement and success are highly valued in America. The social process by which success in America is achieved is through competition and the goal of all competitors is to win. Americans are naturally competitive and we are a openly competitive system requiring constant reinforcement through school and sport. One reason women are less competitive than men
In the future, Briggs said he has several options open, one of which involves airplanes, the other computers.
"I own some airplanes and that business has suffered some economic ills. I need to make a decision about whether I want to become more directly involved with them," said Briggs.
"The part of this job I enjoy the most is the computer area and in the future I'll probably do something with that," he added.
Briggs said he has an innovative idea in mind to use with word processing, but did not want competitors to get a lead on the idea, and was unable to comment on its exact nature.
Briggs said the best piece of advice he would give to his predecessor would be to constantly praise the staff when they do a good job.

"I'm not leaving the staff because of him, although his absence has added to the pressure of the job. When he (Banek) left, I was expected to stop or prevent the problems he left behind," said Briggs.
"There were voids when he left, I've had very little personal tirrie since he left. I've had very few weekends or other free time it definitely adds to the stress," said Briggs.
Bulthaup noted the hard-working nature of Briggs and said he would be missed by many areas of campus, especially the athletic department, where he was an avid supporter.
is because they have fewer opportunities to compete in life. For the female athlete these opportunities are made readily available and should act as reinforcement to her in competing for positions of the work force. It takes many changes to make an athlete: l) self-confidence, 2) openess to criticism; 3) discipline, 4) ability to ride emotional swings, 5) learn from mistakes, 6) concentration, 7) grace under pressure, and 8) right mix of competition and cooperation. Not only are these ideal traits of an athlete, but I feel they are excellent attributions to being a success in the area of management. Athletics also teaches teamwork, sportsmanship, compliance with rules and authority, emotional maturity, and the drive to achieve. As can be seen, the correlation is very high between the areas of management and sports.
"The rewards that are here are watching the staff reach their goals, the best piece of advice I'd give is to let them know they've done a good job," said Briggs.
"This is a good staff and I just don't think they're recognized enough," he added.
Briggs came to Otterbein in July, 1973 as director of placement. After the position of Dean of Admissions was created in the fall, he assumed it in December of the same year.
Briggs, a retired air force officer, also served as a professor of Aerospace studies at Otterbein from 19661969.
They are also similar in other areas. In both management and athletics people have others depending on them. In the case of the manager he has subordinates depending on him to explain policies, give directives, keep effective communication going, plus a hundred and one other duties that
must be performed. The athletes are dependent on one another in game situations, for moral support, and on each others contributions to the team.
Another relationship between management and sports is the climb up the ladder of success. You can't just start at the top-you have to work your
way up through training and experience for both management and athletics. Therefore, not only does sports help train an athlete for a management position, but also there is tremendous correlation between the two subjects.
Payne wams future head residents on overloads
By Loretta P arimuha
Are you planning to be a head resident next year7 Sen ior Doug Payne, head resident of Mayne Hall. would strongly sugest that you not overload in any one of yo ur quarters or do an internship during your head residency. Payne's recom,nendation is based on experience.
"During firstquarter, I had an overload (of credit hours) and this quarter l have an internshi p , so I ca n speak for both of them," Payne said, "It's not very good to have any outside pressure put on you, because, I think it's important to spend as much time as possible in the resident hall, talking with the re sidents and getting to know them."
Trying to combine both the interns hip and the head residency created s ome unnecessary problems for Payne " A lo t o f times. we had trouble getting things organized and synchronized just beca use I wasn't here in the aftern oons an d evenings when most everyo n e else was," he said.
Payne a lso discovered that it was difficult 10 reach residents before 10 p.m Consequently, he found himse lf staying u p from 10 p.m, to 12a.m a n d then tryi ng to get up the following morning for an eight-hour fay as an inte rn with the accounting firm of D eloit te, H askins & Sells.
"An internship is a grea1 experience for anyone other than a head resident," stated Payne The problem arises in trying to do both an internship and a head residency and in trying to do them both well, he said,
"'There was one point in time, duri ng my internship, when I was out of town for two wee ks and Dave Peters, associate dean for Student Develop• ment, became acti ng head resident for one week." Payne explained that Peters filled in fo r him because he wanted 40 reorient himself with the student life situation. "for the second week," Payne said. "my third year resident assistant. Senior Scott Sm.an. was responsible as head resident."
Payne stated that he has a good staff of RA's t his year - probably one of the better staffs tha t Mayne Hal has had His staff includes seven RA·s from Mayne and one RA from the International House. Payne explained that since Mayne wa s the closest male residence hall to the International House, ii was decided that their RA would report 10 him.
There are seven residents at the International House and between 100 to 105 residents in Mayne. "The numbers fluctuate." said Payne.
"The RA·s are the essential pan of making my job easier and making the resident hall work," Payne said, "They

Lewis embarks on third visit to Soviet Union
By Karen Moore
Dr. J. Patrick Lewis, assistant professor of economics will be making his third visit 10 Russia during his sabbatical from April 3 through April 20
Lewis said the main purpose of his trip 1s to obtain information for a Freshman Seminar 1.S. course called "Back in the USSR." The l.S. course will be an in-depth study of the Soviet Union which will include books about the Soviet system.
While inRussia. Lewis will gather information on the politics and the people. He also intends 10 visit old friends.
Lewis plans on taking severalthings with him such as jeans, earrings, and T -shirts for his friends. He will also try to take a complete Beatles book which he hopes will pass customs.
Thesessions allowed a great deal of time for questions and answers wi1h professionals and gave students time to share ideas and things.
"I learned that the radio market is a very competitive field and that geuiog into small stations in large markets is the way to go," said Mark Holm, program director of WOBN. ··t also learned that a lot of research and audience analysis is being done now al college s1ations.''
Kim Ryan attended seminars mainly dealing with news and management. "They had a lot of ideas that could help our station," she said. "I learned how to motivate a staff and how to use our available resources."
The WOBN staffers found that Otterbein's s1alion was "middle-ofthe-road" in terms of formal and budget and facilities. Stations represented at the conven11on ranged from carrier currents with a S600 operating budget and no phone to mega-watt commercial setups with budgc1s of $40.000.
Rhonda Fulton, station manager of WOBN , attended las1 year's convention and compared the 1wo. "Thev offered a few more types of sessions this year tha1 they didn'l offer last year, lt was more fun this time be-cause we had more people It gave us an opportunity to share more ideas and bring back more insight to WOBN."
An open forum on "Record Company Relations" provided conventionaires with major record company contacts and ideas on how to gel more and helter music for less money.
"Music companies are really interested in what college radio is doing," said Mark Holm. "They give full credit to colleges for making the Go-Go's and The Police make big."
Saturday night the program offered a once-in-a-lifetime chance to hear groups of 1he future like Daddy Lick s 1he Kix. The Insect Surfers and the Comateens, all of which might be classified as a ... new wave" in music.
Saturday evening_ was also a time for making serious plans for the fu1ure and getting chance glances at what was new and different in the world of radio.
Of course, there was ample time for eating good things, seeing lhe sights and meeting new people in Washington at Archibold's, Madhatter, and the Lincoln Memorial, which the WOBN group found most interesting.
As much as they hated to leave this vast cultural and educational setting, the time came to part on Sunday morning Their learning experiences. however, were not yet over
"I learned that Washington. D.C is a foreign country" said Kim Ryan.
"Some of us learned how to speak to non-English speaking parking attendants," said Cathy Bell. special events director of WOBN." All he kept saying was 'manana, manana ,' when we went 10 pick up the van."
In celebration of their return, this week's Morning Show on WOBN , hosted by conventionaires Greg Mezger, Tom Gabriel, and Mark Holm. is featuring the Kix, The Insect Surfers and more.

Lotions, common sense add to Florida fun, health
By Greg Stemm
You're finally there, After weeks of sleepless nights and endless months of Columbus rain and perpetual cold, you're finally in glorious warm Floida, and ready to spend the entire day in the hot sub-tropical sun. right?
Not to spoil your fun, but ii is important to remember you are a northerner (as much ~s you'd not like to be) and your body. especially your skin, which hasn't seen the sun in six months, will need time to adjust to the sub-tropical climate.
Remember, the idea behind going 10 Florida is 10 get tan, not to come home looking like a fried lobster.
According to Lisa Whetmore, a nurse instructor of nursing at Otterbein, and member of the college health committee, it is important to take it slow and use protective lotion whco you first start sunning.
"The most important thing is to uso protective lotions: a recent innovation that's only been arounf arounf two Or three years is that sun1an lotions must show their screen factor," said Whetmore.
Whetmore explained the screen factor is the number which will tell you how much protection the lotion provides, and more importantly, how long you can stay out in the sun without burning.
"The factors range from two to ISt explained Whetmore, "the higher the protection factor, the longer you can stay in the sun without getting burnt." she added.
"Say you dtay in the sun twenty minutes with no lotion on and not get burnt, if you use a lotion with a factor you would multiply that time by ten, so you could stay out 200 minutes," said Whetmorc.
Depending on your complextion, Whetmore suggests you use a fairly high protection factor when you first arrive; then use progressively lower ones as your body adapts.
·1r you're real light use a 13 to 15," said Whetmore. "if you're darker, you can Start out with a more medium number, five or six," she added.
Whetmore also saidthe important thing is the protection factor and not the product brand, which she believes 1s a matter of personal preference.
"If you want to buy a lotion with a high protection factor. buy it in Columbus before you go," said Whctmore. "with the emphasis on sunning in the south, they might not carry the higher protection factors."
\Vhetmorc pointed out several other precautions you should follow to stay healthy in the sunshine state;
UseMoisturizers - "Workwith the suo to protect yourself," said Whetmorc. After long periods in the sun, the skin dries out, can crack. and even lead 10 skin cancer. Wbetmore suggest, moisturizers for both men and women.
Don't forget your lips and eyelidsTwo areas Wbetmorc said are most often forgotten. Whctmore suggests using Chapstick or some other moisturizer on your lips which are ·'skin too" and not forgetting to put sunscreen on your eyelids. "If your eyelids get burnt, your eyes will get puffy and uncomfortable," said Whetmore.
D on't forget your hair- That includes both men and women according to Whetmore. The sun dries out your hair, which also isn't adapted to the strong southern rays. Wheunore suggests moisturizers and conditioners to be used after long exposure.
Rinseoff after the ocean or gulf"Salt water can be just as drying 10 your skjn and hair as sunshine,' said Whetmore.
Warning: water an d sand reflectWhetmorc pointed out the water, including the ocean and gulf or poolside reflects sunlight and if you are on or near it you may be getting more sun than you think. Also, "the little particles of sand on Ihe beach reflect sunlight much like water does," added Whetmore.
No offeefer I'm nor dunk-If you are planning to drink in Florida (aren't we all?). be careful aboul mixing sunshine with spirits, said Whetmore. "You·re blood vessels get wider and expand when you are warm-your circulation improves a little biL and you might feel the effects of the alchohol sooner," said Wbetmore, "You could be drinking more than you think."
If you're "Black, Hispanic or darkskinned-"Blacks do burn," said Whetmore, "they should do the same things for protection as whites, except they can use a lower sunscreen factor 10 stan out," she added.
Whetmore also said, its important 10 think about the return trip and the beginning of classes.
"While you're in Florida you don't eat well. you don't sleep wcU. and you follow a totally different schedule, then you come back and wonder why you reel lousy when classes start," said Whetmorc.
Whetmore recommended trading off frequently when driving, trying to eat fairly well in Florida, making sure you sleep well, and returning home soon enough 10 rest before classes start.
If you follow the above advice you should return to Otterbein healthy, refreshed, and with a super tan. Then again, if you·re iike me, if you feel good, look good, and thesun is shining on the day you're schedule 10 leave for home you might just decide the return trip could be too taxing on your health just taking care of yourself, right?

Depth, shooting main factors in Card's success
By Dan Hughes
The dev elopment of depth and improved team shooting are what women's b as ketball coach Amy Riddle cites as the main factors in the Cardinals' suc cess ful l 98 l-82 season. The Cards, who fi nished last season with a 6-13 final mark, turned the corner this year wi th a 12-12 mark That record incl ude s games against Divi-
sion II schools Xavier and Central State, and Walsh College in the state tournament.
"Our shooting ability improved immensely from last year," said Riddle, who finished her second season as head coach. "We had improved depth. We were able to substitute at any time without having a problem with transition " Almost all of the
players had big games at some point during the season , giving the Cards freedom to substitute at will.
Riddle points to the addition of several new players to the roster as a factor in the turnaround. Cathy Cole, Tamie Rawn, Susan Ogier, and Kim Heimlich each made significant contributions as members of the team this year.
Cole teamed with senior Vicki Hartsough to give them a powerful outside scoring threat. "Vicki and Cathy were our scoring leaders," Riddle said. That's where our game wasfrom the wing positions "
The Cards beat Rio Grande (62-60), Capital (67-63), and Ohio Domin ican (65-63) to push their record abo ve .500 for the first time at 7-6. "All three have always been our biggest rivals ," recalled Riddle.
The Cards' record following their slow start was 12-6, bringing up their regular season record to 12-11. The winning slate was "something Otterbein hasn't seen in a long time ," according to Riddle.
Rawn , who added her passing skills to the team, had what Riddle termed an "up and down year," but showed promises as a freshman. "I think she was a little frustrated by having to learn to play with a new coach and new players "
"Ogier came on strong early," Riddle said "We could always count on her for a threat from the left side. She has one of the purest jump shots on the team "
It also represented the stead y improvement of the team's veteran players over the last two seasons. The team lost guard Deb Trager to injur y, but other returnees took up the slack. Coleen Muldoon, who played as a freshman before injury sidelined he r for two seasons, returned to the team to provide strong defens ive play a nd good outside shooting.
"Carolyn Barnhill improved 95 percent from the year before ," Riddle said. "She changed her attitude about basketball and really worked hard She helped the team's morale a lot "
Heimlich provided a clutch performance coming off the bench, hitting for 14 points when the Cards needed scoring punch against Baldwin-Wallace "She probably saved the game for us," Riddle said.
Riddle also cited her experience with the team over the previous year as an advantage. "A lot of it had to do with being here a second year ," she said. "I knew what to expect and they (the team) did also. We also knew what to expect from the other teams in the state."
"Kay Lucas played better as a freshman than this year, but she was playing in a lot of pain because of shin splints Kay always played consistent ball."
"Martha Milligan showed improvement, and had 24 points (her career high) against Mt. Vernon. She can bea big threat both on offense and defense because of her size (6'3")."
"We wanted to turn our record around," Riddle said, reflecting on the early season. "Having a lot of talent and depth caused problems at first, until people settled in at midseason."
Riddle said the season seemed to turn around after the Cards dropped their first five games. "I'm not sure what did it after those first five games, except maybe everybody saying 'Hey, we're better than this."
The high point of the season came during a three game stretch in January.
Senior guard Lynnda Grisso sparked the team in several games with her quickness and ability to lead the fastbreak. "Her biggest asset is defensive quickness," said Riddle.
Freshman Diane Long didn't see much playing time but did fare well in her limited appearances. "She lacks experience, but showed a lot of promise," Riddle noted. "We shifted her out to the wing where she'll play next year."
Riddle plans to use the lessons learned from this season as a springboard for next year "We lose Hartsough and Grisso, so next year we'll be looking to fill the wing spots We'd like to get more quickness and agressive play inside so we don't have to depend on our outside game so much."
OC track winds up third, Burns gets MVP honor
By Dave Graham
Otterbei n returned from Ohio Wesleyan las t Saturday with the Ohio Conference's outstanding indoor track athlete and a third place finish in the OAC indoo r championships.
Junior Mark Burns, who captured first place in the mile run, and came in third in the half mile, received the Don Frail Award for his performance
Frail wa s a track coach at Marietta College wh o died of cancer. The award is voted on by the OAC coaches.
"I'm totally pleased with the whole team's performance , they showed outstanding team effort," said Head Track Coach Porter Miller. "When you win only one event and score 100 points, it shows that a lot of guys are involved in scoring."
Miller went on to say that he thought B-W would win the meet, but Mount Union had a "perfect meet, everything went right for them."
OC placed three in the shot put led by sophomore John Divine's second place effort of 47 feet , 10 ½ inches
Senior Jim Puckett was fourth while sophomore Eric Anderson was fifth
The pole vault saw Otterbein's Jim Smith clear the 14 foot mark for the first time this season and was good for second in the conference. Junior Scott Duncan's effort of 13 feet placed him fifth
Mount U nion took first place in the meet with 145 points, while BaldwinWallace fi nished second with 120½, and OC ended up with 100½. OWU was fourth with 72 and Wooster fifth with 15 points It marked the first time the Cardinals have scored 100 points in an indoor meet and they did it despite having only one first place finisher in Burns.
Sophomore Sheldon Robinson, who came in second in the 300 yard dash in 32. 7 l, was the Cards' leading point man with 20 in four events. He was followed by freshman John Espinosa with 18 in three events. Burns had 16 points and senior John McKenzie had 14 in two events.
Senior Hal Hopkins finished second to Burns in the mile with a time of 4.21.2. Burns ran a 4.20.4.
In the 1,000 yard run, Miller cited the efforts of Scott Burns, Mark's younger brother, who finished second with a 2: 19.47 time.
The mile relay team of Paul Hollern, Allen Schweizer , McKenzie and Espinosa finished second in the ' conference with a time of 3:29 93
McKenzie was third in the 600 yard dash, while senior Steve Farka s was also third in the 60 yard high hurdl e finals. Espinoso came in fourth in th e 440 yard dash
Robinson captured fourth in the 60 yard dash with a 6 74.
The OAC meet winds up the indoor season for Otterbein and signals the beginning of the outdoor season.
