tacted Kerr about the job in the latter part of November.
Kerr feels he was given the job due to his experience in the Columbus area fundraising events. "I have a lot of experience in fundraising having been President of Otterbein," said Kerr.

names staff heads
while Joel works well with people and leads by example."
The annual process of selecting staff heads is partially completed at WOBN with junior Karen Raab appointed as station manager and sophomore Joel Riley as program director. The new staff he ads will assume their positions at the beginning of spring term.
Raab states that her main objective is organization to help her "keep ahead of the ballgame." She also wants to be sensitive to people's needs. She added, "The staff heads won't be seen as being put on a pedestal."
Raab has other goals set for WOBN. "I want us to continue our progressive programing." Riley explains "progressive programming includes mellow music in the morning then moves to top 40 and rock in the afternoon with a freer format in the evenings." He wants to stay away from the "rock your socks off in the morning" routine of the past. Progressive programming may include a funk block on Friday night according to Riley.
Raab's goals also include increased community service, "I hope we can do one community service project each term," she said. Raab is planning for more campus and high school remotes and development in the station's public relations efforts.
Riley re-emphasized Raab's goal of increased remotes and the station's strive to become known to the Westerville community.
Aside from his main goal of continuing progressive programming, Riley stated he was not planning special programs such as Ruby, a serial that ran this term on WOBN.
John Buckles, adviser of WOBN, feels that Raab and Riley will complement each other. "Karen is a real good organizer, she has exceptional skills
In the role of adviser, Buckles wants the station to stand on its own, with little assistance from him. "I feel the station is in place to run itself. It is a student-run station and can make 95 percent of the decisions on its own," Buckles said.
Buckles and Raab have announced the selection of some other staff heads.
Sophomore Rich Klempy will take over the sports crew and sophomore Bill Harnsberger will serve as production director. Freshman Steve Wilson will be in charge of the public relations department with freshman John Ellis controlling music and junior Mallory Hurd heading up the business concerns Freshman Robert Wagner will be the public service director. Freshman Missy Marsh will run the news staff.
Positions that have not been decided on are directors of sales, station administration and publications. Decisions on these positions should be finalized by early next week according to Buckles.
Raab pointed out the fact that many of the positions are being taken by underclassmen. This is credited to the fact that "everyone has become committed to quality at WOBN and nobody has been sitting back and waiting for their chance," according to Raab.
Interviewing for staff head positions was done differently this year. All applicants needed three letters of recommendation as well as an interview with Buckles and John Ludlum, chairperson of the speech department. "We tried to make the interviews an educational experience," stated Buckles, "we used tough challenging questions and tried to make the experience similar to a real job interview."

Panhel defeats fall rush· proposal
By Rose Shiplett
The Panhellenic Council's proposal to change sorority rush from winter to fall term was defeated four to one last Sunday as less than half of all sorority members case a vote.
Before the votes were cast, a sevenmember panel composed of sorority advisers and members presented the pros and cons of fall rush.
Panhel, the governing body for campus sororities, had examined the sorority rush program and decided a fall rush program might eliminate several problems associated with "deferred" or winter rush. According to Bob Gatti, Panhel adviser, changing • rush to fall would increase sorority membership and help eliminate "dirty" rush.
"Panhel felt it was time to review rush but the sororities made it loud and clear they like the way rush is run now," he added.
Otterbein is in the minority for participating in a deferred rush program, said Gatti. Approximately 90 percent of all Panhellenics participate in a fall rush program.
Nancy Nourse, Panhel president,
could understand the resistance tor sororities to change to a fall rush program. "It really was a big change and there were a lot of valid reasons not to," she said.
Although Panhel may not propose to change rush again for several years, Nourse said that the rush program would be modified next year. For example, sorority novelty parties may be changed so that more emphasis is placed on communication among sorority members and rushees and not so much on entertainment.
One of the panel members, Marilyn Day, faculty member and sorority adviser, was for a fall rush program. "Why don't we have rush (in the fall) and get it over with?" She added that starting rush in the fall might also increase retention so that students would have something to look forward to over winter break.
Although, another member of the panel, Mary Cay Wells, faculty member and sorority adviser, -disagreed and said that freshmen face enough social and academic pressures during fall term. To eliminate "dirty" rush she proposed that changes be made to the rush program itself rather than change the entire rush period.

All was not lost for QC team
So much for the polls. Looking back on the Otterbein men's basketball team's marvelous season, it is hard to believe that they were picked to finish 13th in the conference at the OAC coaches pre-season meeting.
The success of the squad shows what a sports team can
accomplish with strong coaching and tenacious, hustling play.
In a season when they were supposed to be "also-rans," the Cardinals proved that they could play with anyone in the league, and will be a major force to be reckoned with in the future.
Compiling a regular season and tournament conference record of 10-4, the Cardinals knocked off Wittenberg and previously unbeaten Ohio Wesleyan in exciting contests which showed the character of this young team.
Describing this squad as 'young' may be a major understatement. The Cardinals had no seniors in their starting lineup, and only one junior. With the team's outstanding front line of Langdon, McKinney and Hempy staying intact for the next two years, the future looks bright for Cardinal basketball and ominous for the rest of the Ohio Athletic Conference.
Although the Cardinals lost the conference semi-final to Capital Friday night, the strong play of the team against a much more experienced squad was a tribute to the efforts of the team and the coaching of Dick Reynolds.
While watching Ray Zawadski lay on the court in disbelief after his outstanding performance in the Cap loss, one had to wonder whether it won't be other teams who will be sitting in disappointment in the next couple of seasons, as the Cardinal team matures and gains the respect they deserve.

Ope,as feature combination of humor and drama
By Ca rol Hust on
T
h e Opera Theatre t h is weekend had something to offer everyonemelo drama for those with a se r io u s stre ak and comedy for th ose w ith a lig ht er nature.
Th e first opera, Darius Mi lh a ud 's "Le P auvre Matelot," was farce with a surpr ising twist. "The Poor Sai lor," whi c h is the English translation of t he opera, was first performed at the Op era-Comique in Paris in 1927, and the su btle humor is typically French.
Th e plot revolves around a case of mistaken identity. A sailor who has bee n gone 15 years returns to his wife at last, but first decides to test her loya lt y. He poses as a wealthy stranger wh o brings news of her husband The t wist comes when the wife kills the sailor so she can give the money to her husband when he returns.
Guest artist Thom Gall was excellent as the s ailor, and projected well both his voice and his energy. Jeff Offenburger, who played his friend, had a little more trouble making himself heard above the orchestra. Todd Rupp was the sailor's father-in-law and Sherri Puderbaugh played the sailor's wife.
Puderbaugh gave a convincing performance as the ever-hopeful wife waiting at home, but she had a little trouble killing the sailor, providing some comedy where it wasn't wanted.
The second opera, George Kleinsinger's "archy and mehitabel," contained more standard humor. In this opera, Archy the cockroach writes news stories about his friendship with Mehitabel the alley cat. David Doney played the newspaperman who narrated the tale.
Todd Rupp was superb as Archy. He greatly improved the reputation of cockroaches with his winsome smile, rosy cheeks and bobbing antennae.
David DeCooman, who choreographed his own routine, also showed talent and creativity in his role as Broadway the lightning bug
Becky Benson as Mehitabel gave a good showing but wasn't quite as convincing as Rupp. She needed to be a

Snow is no problem for pizza shops
By Tami Lange
So, Otter b e in ha s a blizzard for the first time in y our college experience and all kind s of dilemmas arise First , you don't know whether or not you'll have that all-important 8 o'clock class and secondly , you don't know whether or not you can make it to the Campus Center for dinner. What are your alternatives be like any other normal American college student and order a pizza.
'Fid d l e r' auditions open to all i nt er ested students
By Tami Lange
suggests the following:
Just because you are not a theatre major at Otterbein does not mean you are not eligible to audition for a campus production. Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to think of theater as a career in order to show off your acting ability.
Angelas pizza - this is a family owned operation. Richard Columbro, head of the family is the owner. His son Chuck is the manager, and the shop was named after Richard's daughter , Angela. They also offer home delivery, and say the snow this week has caused few problems. Angela's delivers in the Tamarack, Morse Rd., l-270, Westerville area. Pizza is the specialty, but you may also order spaghetti, lasagna, and rigatoni to go.
Dominos Pizza - they do deliver, with very few problems in fact. Normally, the guaranteed time is 30 minutes, but weather conditions do not always make that possible. Domino's offers two sizes, extra sauce is free. Mike Hack, assistant manager, said that this is the biggest delivering franchise in the world. They have been in operation since 1960.
Most of the Westerville pizza shops have managed to stay open throughout the week. Call and check them out. Stay warm and bon appetit!!!
One pizza shop manager said, "Pizza shops are like the postal service, they deliver through everything, any kind of weather." However, during this particular pizza survey (taken Tuesday evening amid school cancellations and cars skidding into the ditch) we found that not all pizza shops were open. Of a random sampling of 12 pizza shops, only 8 were open and only four of these were delivering. These shops included Alley Pizza on the Plaza - this is a franchise of the Alley Pizza.in Westerville. Alley does deliver and offers 3 sizes of pizza, plus a special mini size. Each pizza comes with a maximum of five items Not only do they offer pizza, but subs as well. Bill Sandham is the manager of the surveyed branch in Devonshire The staff there is proud of their pizzas and would give them a better than average ranking.
Dr. Charles W Dodrill , chairman of the department of theater and dance, has announced that there will be open auditions for the spring production of the musical "Fiddler On the Roof." Although the production will not be presented until the middle of spring term, the announcement is being made now, due to the fact auditions will be held the first day of spring term.
"Fiddler On the Roof' is, to say the least, a large cast production. Approximately 40 roles will be open in the Otterbein production. Parts require, for the most part, acting, singing and dancing ability. The story centers around a Russian Jew named Teyve, his wife, and their five daughters and most of the population of the small town in which they live. Because of the size of the production, rehearsals are often split into music, dance and acting time slots.
So if you want to audition but have no idea what is required? Dr. Dodrill
I. Be prepared to sing one song from the show - music is available in the Music Department office. Times for this part of the audition may be signed up for on the Battelle bulletin board.
2. If you are interested in a speaking role (and there are quite a few), you should read the script ahead of time and be prepared with a brief scene. If you cannot get a personal copy of the script, there are extras in the Theater Department office at Cowan and a sign up sheet for times is posted on the Cowan bulletin board. Also available in Cowan are tentative rehearsal schedules.
If you still have questions about how to audition for a specific area, you might want to contact one of the show's directors. The production staff for this production co n sists of Dr. Charles Dodrill, general di r ector; Dr. Lyle Barkhymer, music director; Mr. Craig Johnson, vocal director; and Dean Joanne Vansant, choreographer. If musical theater is not you style, you might also be interested to know that auditions for the comedy "Same Time, Next Year" will be held concurrently in the Campus Center Arena Theatre. Good Luck!!

Career week is deemed a big success
By Jenni Linker
More than one hundred students, faculty and staff members attended events during Career Discovery Week; "the largest turnout ever," according to Jessie Leek, career counselor.
"I think one of the factors that contributed to the success of the week was the variety of topics that were covered," Leek said.
Marlene Steiner-Suter felt that it was unique to have such a good turnout at a volunteer educational event. "They don't always go over as well," said Leek.
"I think that the Peer Career Advisers should also be commended for the job they did," said Leek. "They really went all out in their efforts." The P.C.A.'s were responsible for all of the main planning and carrying out of the week's events. Leek also said she thought that the week was "a good learning experience for them. It gave them an opportunity to utilize their skills in organization, communication, and detail work."
One event, especially, was directly

beneficial to the students who attended it. After the session "What Makes You Marketable?" several students had the opportunity to discuss career objectives with the professionals who had conducted the seminar, andlater were invited to interview with the companies which they represented.
Leek stressed the fact that the
Career Center can still be of service to students, even though Career Discovery Week is over. "I think that we attained our goal of making people aware that the Career Center is here, and that's good. I hope they realize that we still have a great deal of service to offer them-just because Career Week is over, we haven't closed down shop."
Changes combine inspiration week
By Devonie Verne
Despite the confusion and busy schedules of Inspiration Week, sorority and fraternity pledges are making it through.
The first event of Inspiration Week was the sorority skits. They were originally planned for Tuesday night· but have been postponed to Thursday night due to the snow emergency. This will give the pledge classes a chance to accomplish something as a _group before dividing up other activities.
According to Patti Fott, the pledge class president of Theta Nu, "The skits are needed to build unity between the pledges which will later help build unity within the active chapter." Fott also feels that this gives the pledges a chance to know each other better outside the classroom atmosphere.
The fraternity and sorority pledges combined on Wednesda y for the volleyball games and will p lay again on Friday for the pledge O ympics.
Dawn Calder, pledge class preside n t for Epsilon Kappa Tau likes the ide a of mixing with the other Greek pl edges for these events. "Although it temporarily separates your own pledge cla ss , it's a way to meet a lot of different people," Calder said.
Carol Kieffer, the pledge mistress of Onyx, said "This year's Inspiration Week integrates everyone more, insures more Greek unity and hopefully more fun."
To end the Inspiration Week events, the Greeks will conduct their own pledging activities on Saturday. This is a good way to end the week because the pledges are together once again as their own class.
Nancy Nourse of Owls said, "It's special this year because the guys are included. Last year proved we didn't need all the competition and this year should further that."
Teresa Hawkins, pledge mistress of Tau Epsilon Mu concluded, "The Inspiration Week this year should be successful because it's shorter and simultaneous with the guys.
This week is the first in Otterbein's history that fraternities and sororities have combined for Inspiration Week. This week's activities will culminate tomorrow.

Cardinals fall to Cap in OAC semi-final
By Chris Cebull
The Otterbein basketball team ended their 1984 season Friday night in the semi-final round of the Ohio Athletic Conference tournament.
For the second time this year the Cardinals fell to arch-rival Capital University. With less than three minutes left in regulation play the Cards were up 58-54 However, Capital came back to tie the game at 58-58 before the final buzzer sending the game into overtime. Otterbein jumped into a 6461 lead in the overtime period before Capital's John Thompson and Shane Vaia scored giving Capital the win 6764. •
An enthusiastic crowd of 3,136 was on hand for the contest. Junior Ray Zawadzki was the highest scorer for Otterbein with 20 points. Dick Hempy had 18, while Mike McKinney finished with 13. Thompson scored 20 for the winning Crusaders while Eric Morrison had 15. Both teams went 46.1 percent from the floor with Otterbein making 24 of 52 shots and Capital 30 of 65. The Cardinals shot 16 of 19 from the foul line for 84.2 percent topping Capital's 7 of 17 for 41 percent. The Cards outrebounded Capital 35 to 31
with Hempy being the top rebounder of the night with 18.
Otterbein's final victory of the year came last Wednesday against Oberlin College. For the second time this year the Cards hit the 100 point mark in their 100-90 win over Oberlin. The only other time this year the Cards hit the 100 point mark was also against Oberlin in a 104-79 victory. Oberlin's Byron Beard was the game's top scorer with 29. Top scorers for Otterbein was McKinney with 27 and Hempy with 25.
The fast paced game was tied 12 different times. The final tie, coming at the 6:02 mark, was at 82. In the following four minutes Otterbein took control and scored IO consecutive points. Over 1200 fans were on hand for the victory that advanced the Cards to the semi-final round game against Capital.
Otterbein finishes with a 19-8 overall record. This is an impressive figure considering pre-season predictions for the Otterbein Cardinals. The team will lose one senior, Tim Weis. "It was a great season. I really think we could've
done better, but overall I'm really
happy," said Weis, a co-captain for Friday night. this year's squad.
OC track team prepares for O AC
By Mike Mesewicz
With all the indoor regular season meets behindthem,the indoor team has only one meet left; the Ohio Athletic Conference Indoor Track Championships.
The meet, which will be held this Friday and Saturday at Ohio Wesleyan, will feature all the top schools around the conference.
Mount Union is heavily favored in the meet and Coach Miller says, "I feel that Mount Union may have the best team the conference has ever seen." Otterbein, along with BaldwinWallace, Ohio Wesleyan, and Denison, are all possible top place contenders.
The meet will be broken up into two days which will consist of qualifying on Friday with trials and finals for the meet on SaturdaysTo reach the finals the competitor must finish first in his event. Some of the events Otterbein will be competing in have finishers already in the trials. Shotputters Eric Anderson and Jon Divine qualified earlier in the season. Jim Smith and Mike Poland need to have a top finish in the long jump trials to compete in the finals.
High jumper Dave Kimmer has already qualified for the finals by winning the event in a meet earlier. Jim Smith, Ben Richmond,and Rob Hard are also in the finals of the polevault due to efforts earlier this season.
As for the rest of the events, the Cardinals must be a top qualifier on Friday to come back on Saturday to compete. Sheldon Robinson will represent the Otterbein team alongwith Mike Snyder to hopefully reach the qualifying standards in their respective events, the long jump and the high jump. Steve McConaghy and Mike Poland will try to reach the 42 mark to qualify to come back on Saturday in the triple jump. Scott Pryfogle will also try to reach the standard conference mark of 45 feet to join his teammate in the trials of the shot put on Saturday.
In the running events the top finishers on Friday will be invited back on Saturday to compete in the championship. In the distance events Scott Rush, Scott Alpeter, and Michael Corwin will be competing in the two mile run while Mike Ginn, Alan Campbell, and Charlie Hallman will be running in the mile run. Ginn will also be running in the l 000 yard run.
In other running events Kevin Chambers and Paul Wickham will be

• Resume Development Preparation
running the 880 yard run. Chambers will also be competing, along with Scott Rush and Alan Schweizer in the 600 yard run. The 440 yard dash includes Scott Hill, Dave Montgomery, and Paul Hollern and in the 300 yard dash will be Sheldon Robinson and Steve McConaghy.
Rounding out the rest of the running events will be Robinson, Smith, Hollern and Hill in the 880 yard relay on Friday, Robinson will also compete in the preliminaries of the 60 yard dash. Finally, Jim Smith and Paul Dobner will shoot for a strong time in the 60 yard high hurdles to hopefully advance to the semifinals.
Otterbein should be a top contender in the meet but they will not be running at full force. The flu which has plagued many people this year has also taken a toll on the track team. Add the additional injuries and that cuts the total team performance quite a a bit. Pat Bennett is a good example of this. He was looked on to run in two or three major events but due to a hamstring pull he will be unable to compete. Otterbein will have to put their forces together on Friday and Saturday if they want to come out on top on Saturday. If they do this they could be a top place finisher:
Lady Runners finish seventh
By Scott Cavanagh
Led by the efforts of their two shotputters, the Otterbein women's track team finished in 7th place at their league championships held Saturday at Ohio Wesleyan.
Eleven teams competed in the meet which was won by host Wesleyan. Kenyon College finished second and Mount Union finished in third place.
Sophomore Candee Morris finished in second place in the shot-put. Morris was followed by teammate Teri Williamson, who finished in sixth position.
Although no other Cardinal competitors scored in the m eet, many had their personal best performance in their individual events.
In the 1,000 meter run, Cheryl Calentine had her best time in this event with a 3.47. Gretchan Shaffer also had a personal best in this event. Polly James had personal best in the triple jump.
When asked about her team's performance, Morris said, "I think we did pretty well, we started out slow this year, but we have been getting in good shape," she continued, "We've been setting goals for ourselves and I think we are be innin to reach them."
