The end of winter term annually means a change of WOBN staff heads.
Staff heads are selected to be directors of areas in the WOBN organization. On March IO the new staff heads were announced.
Staff head applications were submitted during winter term. The interview process then began in order to decide who would fill the two top positions: station manager and program director. The interviews were conducted by James Grissinger, the WOBN adviser; John Ludlum, a speech department faculty member; and Janet Hutzelman, station manager.

William s, a P.R . major from Hebron , Ohio , placed second in "The red brick romp" - an individual events tournament held March 26 at Miami Uni versity.
According to John Ludlum, forensics adviser, Williams participated in the impromptu sales category. In this category , a participant is presented with a product and then given seven minutes to prepare a threeminute speech which is designed to sell the product.
Ludlum commented on the difficulty of the event, calling it "an event which requires some credibility, a basic knowledge of sales skills, and the ability to stand and speak " By placing second in this contest, Williams has now qualified twice for the National Individual events contest to be held in mid-April at Illinois State Univer s ity. Williams placed in the Ohio Individual events contest earlier in the season.
Williams , who has participated in seven tournaments since the season began in September, commented he was "glad to close the season with a little success."

Inamed 'Womanof the
Surrounded by friends, colleagues, family members, and a lovely stage set to imitate her office, Dr. Sylvia Phillips Vance received the 1983 Woman of the Year Award, presented by the Westerville Otterbein Women's Club last Sunday.
The award recognizes superior achievement in leadership , loyalty, and dedication to Otterbein College, the community, and church Vance, associate professor of French and chairman of the Integrative Studies department at Otterbein , graduated with the Centennial class of 1947 with a degree in French, and was the first student to graduate from Otterbein with a 4.0 grade point average.
She now holds masters and doctorate degrees from the Ohio State University, in foreign language education and French literature, respectively. Vance began teaching at Otterbein in 196 l.
Sunday evening's ceremony included several testimonials to Vance's worthiness of the honor , along with memories of her achievements academically, socially, and personally _ While the Woman of the Year selected most of the speakers, two came as surprises.
The first surprise came when the first speaker arose. He was J. Hutchinson Williams, owner of "Williams' Grill," the restaurant where Vance worked as a waitress throughout her college days.
Although Williams claimed that Vance participated in various "shenanigans" while on the job, he said he "can't find a lot of dirt on Sylvia. Even my mother says she can't think of one bad thing to say about her."
The second surprise came when Vance's daughter Sara took the stage with twelve ex-camp counselors to sing a collection of Campfire Girl songs to the guest of honor.
Other speakers included Dr. Roger Neff who occupies the office next to
"infectious cheerfulness" and marvelous talent for whistling. He also commented on her lovely officewalls covered with travel posters of France and several hanging plants in the window. The cheery office was the subject of much attention throughout the evening's remembrances.
Prindle spoke of Vance's "thoughtful intelligence, kindness, generosity. and unfailing will to listen to and understand others' ideas."
Otterbein graduate Lynn Maurer commented on her trip to Dijon where Vance visited her, and freshman John Thatcher called her a "guiding light" who helped him adjust to college life.
Vance's husband of 35 years, Dr. Waid Vance, gave the final speech, divulging secrets such as she loves to sing and is not an enthusiastic riser. "Life with Sylvia is always interesting and rewarding," he concluded.
lowing the testimonials, saying it was "indeed an honor following so many fine women who l've admired."
However, she admitted to having mixed emotions about the award.
"There are so many people who bring honor to Otterbein year in and year out who can't be singled out but ought to be," Vance said, adding, "People at this school care about education. They may not always agree, but we can always work it out. That's why I want you to feel you're honoring all those by letting me speak tonight."
Vance also stated that today's students are tomorrow, and ended her address by quoting a favorite personality, Woody Hayes: "You can't give back. You giveforward."
Charles S.C. Williams, Vance's doctorate adviser at O.S. U., said it best: "Sylvia is the woman of any year."

Spring break in Florida brings student dilemma
by Doug Stanley
Man y o f m y friends who were stuck in the cold climes of Ohio - turning blue in stead of brown - during Spring Break , have told me how lucky I was to have s pent m y break in Florida.
Of cour s e I have to just smile, nod , and say what a great time I had. But just between y ou , me , and my bottle of Tan Care , I'm here to tell ya it wasn't really all that great.
Oh sure , it ws relaxing lying in the sun all day , but most people just don't realize the amount of stress you're subjected to when you spend Spring Break in Daytona Beach.
First of all, being students, we're used to some kind of schedule. We know when we have to get up, when we have to go to class, and so on. Spring Break is different - especially when you're 1,200 miles from home with no commitments and no one to tell you what to do.
The days are just packed with decision after decision, all day long. Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. You are faced with a tuffy the first thing every morning. "Do I get up now and lie in the sun or do I sleep 'till noon?"
Once that choice is made, you're faced with even more stress-packed decisions. "Do I use the #2 or the #4 sunscreen, or none at all? Do I lie on my back or my stomach first? How long should I lie on each side? ls my lounge chair facing toward the sun? How long will it be before I have to move it?" The list is endless. Kind of makes you nervous just thinking about it, doesn't it?
After a stress-filled day of "relaxing" by the pool or on the beach, you're then faced with the traumatic ritual of looking in the mirror and not recognizing yourself. Each day your skin and hair display a slightly different hue. It's enough to give a person an identity crisis.
After showering and watching M* A* S* H (some things are the same no matter where you are) , even more decisions stare you in the face. "Where are we gonna eat? Prime rib or seafood? Burgers or pizza? What kind of wine goes with grits?" Oh to be back at the Campus Center where the choices are simpler.
When dinner is completed, you're faced with the toughest choice of the day - which night spot to attend. "Do we go to the place with free T-shirts? May be the one with free mugs and hats? How about a free pool party? Maybe we should try and hit them all?"
Once the appropriate night spot (or spots) have been chosen, you're then faced with an endless barrage of peopie trying to give you something for nothing. I mean, for heaven's sake, how many free beers can one person drink anyway? (About 17, I think).
How I wish I were back home watching the Dukes of Hazzard with mom, dad, and sis!
But all of this, as bad as it may be, is nothing compared with the shock of coming home. In just a few hours, the sky turns from deep blue to dark grey and the temperature drops about 30 degrees. "People in Ohio don't tan, they rust," the clouds seem to snicker.
I'd been home less than 24 hours when I first noticed the symptoms of detoxification. In other words, there was too much blood in my alcohol stream. I hurried to Flags, where several brown-skinned, red-eyed students were in line ahead of me. Take the weather, the pain of drying out, and add the stark reality of classes and homework, and you have the groundwork for a classic post-break breakdown.
I'm sure glad that this was my last Spring Break. I don't know if I could stand another nine lousy days in paradise next year.

Festivals planned for English, IS departments
Otterbein to host English Festival For HS students
By David Kimmel
As a show of support for Central Ohio high school English programs, the Otterbein English department will hold its first annual Otterbein English Festival Wednesday, April 20.
According to Dr. Alison Prindle, festival co-chairperson and associate professor of English, the idea for the festival arose out of a feeling that college English faculty should have more of a connection with their high school counterparts.
"The Festival shows the high school teachers we're aware of what they're doing," said Prindle, who added, ''It's also a public occassion where their students can be recognized."
Each of the approximately 300 students from 17 area high schools participating in the six-hour festival will take a book quiz, eat lunch, and participate in their choice of three activities, ranging from essay contests, writing games, and writing labs to lecture sessions with Otterbein faculty and discussions with a panel of Otterbein students involved with the Tan and Cardinal, Quiz and Quill, WOBN, WOCC, theatre, and the speech and debate teams, according to Prindle.
"The festival is geared toward developing the participating students' reading and writing resources for self-understanding and for pleasure in a fun, festival atmosphere," explained Prindle.
According to Prindle, it was up to the individual high schools to decide who would attend the festival, and it was up to the individual students to decide what activities they would participate in.
Two-thirds of the students are sophomores or freshmen, and of the entire 300 students, approximately 160 have signed up for the games, l 40 for the labs, 150 for the imaginative essay competition, and 90 for the analytical essay contest, said Prindle. Otterbein recently applied for and received a $2000 grant from the Percival Fund of the Columbus Foundation, according to Prindle.

Depression era explored during Festival events
By David Kimmel
This year's Integrative Studies (I.S.) Festival will feature a few changes compared to last year's, according to Dr. Sylvia Vance, chairman of the lntergrative Studies Advisory Committee.
Vance said the comments of students who participated in last year's festival influenced the committee's changes in the festival this year.
"We've tried to make the program more varied and to tie the events together for the students," said Vance.
According to Vance, last year's festival consisted of "a bit here and a bit there. This year we're using a device called linkages (discussions in the I.S. classes themselves as to how and why the festival events fit together under the festival's theme)."
This year's festival, entitled "Hard Times: The Thirties from Crash to Conflict," will focus on the decade of the Depression in an effort "to enhance the integrative nature of Integrative Studies course experience through shared activities around a common short-term theme, and to enhance for all ofus on campus a sense of historical perspecti ve on today's world," according to the festival brochure.
The brochure, which students should have received with their syllabi, includes the schedule of events for the Festival.
Here are two newly-distributed brochures about programs students have to look forward to this spring.
The money from the fund will go toward reduced lunch rates, a $ I00 contest prize, and paying student assistants and outside consultants, said Prindle.
"Seems to me getting money from the Percival Fund is a way of establishing that the whole central Ohio community is concerned with reading and writing," said Prindle.
Prindle said the English Festival also received generous gifts of gift certificates, cash money, and books from bookstores and publishers to use for prizes.
Planning for the Festival, which began last May, was heavily influenced by a similar program at Youngstown State University, now in its fifth year, according to Prindle.
Those involved with the English Festival include Otterbein English faculty, students, alumni, friends of Otterbein, and friends of the English department.
Vance stresses a "sense of excitement that goes along with planning this," and is "pleased more students are involved in the planning and the doing." She particularly points out the work of the Campus Programming Board in sponsoring the "Thirties Night at the Movies" and the Time Line group.
Last year's festival involved primarily upper division students, while this year the focus will be on lower division LS. students, but Vance encourages anyone interested to come to the presentations, even town members.
Planning for the festival has taken all year, but the major meetings were held during the winter interterm break and winter term, said Vance.

Shoopman praises Sibyl despite a 5 month delay
by Greg Stemm
The 1982 Sibyl yearbook, despite several production delays, arrived from the printer for distribution March 14.
Joe Shoopman, editor of the Sibyl, said he was disappointed the yearbook had arrived nearly five months late.
"The actual work for the book to come out on time was done during the summer months but there were problems with an individual staff member in mailing the material on time," said Shoopman.
"Although the book is late, I'm pleased with the quality of it," he added.
Shoopman said, while the 1981 edition was an excellent yearbook, technically, the 1982 edition was better in design overall. He cited an improvement in the book's progression and artistic qualities including clear, sharp photographs and interesting lay-outs.
A new feature for the 1982 publication are several fictional stories which relate to different aspects of the Otterbein community.
Shoopman said he thought the stories would help students remember what life at Otterbein was like while they were in college, as well as making exciting copy within the publication's covers.
"Unlike a lot of yearbook's in the past, the stories are entertaining now as well as serving as something to enjoy and remember in the future," said Shoopman.
Another new item for the yearbook is its bright, metallic silver-colored cover. Recent Sibyl publications have had dark or neutrai-colored covers.
Shoopman said he hoped the less subdued colors would make the book unique He said so far the change has "gotten a variety of reactions.'' Jokingly, he added he used the book to aid in tanning while he was in Florida during spring break.
Shoopman said many of the books of those who ordered last year have already been sent to their home address. He said those who ordered a book and have not received their copy should contact Jenny Sorrell at extension 580.
A limited number of extra copies will be available for those who did not pre-order, said Shoopman. He said orders for the 1982 book may be placed with any Sibyl staff member and will also be available when orders are taken for the 1983 Sibyl in April.
Shoopman said the 1983 book looks to be the best of the three yearbooks he has overseen. He emphasized that he was personally assuming responsibility in making sure the next Sibyl would meet its fall 1983 publication date.

Intramural action continues with spring sports

Women begin season today
by Scott Cavanagh
The Otterbein women's tennis team got the 1983 season started on a successful note on March 11 as they defeated the Aquinas College Team from Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The match was an exhibition in which coach JoAnn Tyler hopes will sharpen the ladies skills for regular season action.
The match was an extremely topsided contest with the Lady Cardinals winning all of the matches.
The ladies hope to play as well today when they take on Capital University at home. The match begins at 2:30 p.m. at the Otterbein outdoor courts.
Men's tennis team wins in season's first match
by Pam Clay
The Otterbein men's tennis team came off the court as winners last Tuesday in their first match of regular season play.
The team, led by first-year coach Tom Nelson, defeated Wilmington College by a score of 7-2. "I was pretty pleased with our singles play, but we could improve in doubles," said Nelson.
In singles play, Otterbein players Dondi Pangalangan, Dan Morris, Tim Baldwin, Andy Sinclair, and Dave Fox defeated their Wilmington opponents. In doubles play, the teams of Scott Cavanagh-Dan Morris and Bob Phillips-John Tetzloff contributed wins to the Otterbein team.
Even though the team began regular season play with a winning opener, they did not have much luck on their exhibition matches on their spring trip to Florida. "We lost all of our matches down there," said Nelson, "but it was the kind of competition we needed."
The team played four matches in Florida. Two matches were against Florida Atlantic University, with the other two matches being played against Broward Community College and Palm Beach Junior College. The Otterbein team stayed in Deerfield
Sign-ups for these events were held yesterday. According to Julie Tallentire, secretary of the Intramural Board, sign-ups were held only one day to encourage people to decide quickly if they want to participate. Doug Stuckey, director of intramurals, added that, "after Wednesday people will only be added to rosters if there is room in the league."
Each sport will be under the direction of a sports head. Stuckey explained that a sports head is the person in charge of "administrative duties for their sport." Such duties include getting officials and developing schedules, leagues and time sheets.
Sports heads for spring term are: Dave Hann, men's softball; Charleen Riedinger and Anna Maria Conti, coed softball; Cathy Tedrick, coed
basketball; and Karen Kirsoph, women's tennis.
Stuckey stated he is hoping for more women's participation this term. Winter term was "fantastic," for the men, stated Stuckey, with "nearly 170 guys playing basketball." But the women's involvement was only, "so-so." Stuckey feels that the "traditional sports" may not be interesting the women of Otterbein. He asks for suggestions of sports that they may be more interested in.
A successful term for intramurals is predicted by Stuckey who hopes for more highlights such as last term's race between Jim Smith and Dr. Harold Hancock at the "Dive -In Movie", and Channel !O's announcement of the ba-sketball score between "The Rookies" and "The Third World."
Despite the weather, the women's softball team attempts their best at their first home game held yesterday.
Beach which is near Boca Raton while they were in Florida.
"We had a good trip," said Nelson. "Competition was very, very tough and it made them (the players) raise the level of their games."
When asked about their outlook in season play, Nelson said, "It is too early to tell. We are improving and we need to keep improving all year."
Their next match is tonight against Ohio Wesleyan beginning at 3;30 p.m. in Dela ware.

Thirteen men go the distance for OC track
By Jerry Marks
The masochist: one who has a taste for suffering, a person who goes through endless amounts of time, energy, and pain in order to feel good. Dedication: quality of a person committed to go through endless amounts of time, energy, and pain in order to reach a goal.
The words masochist and dedication can be related in meaning, but they can also be related by the Otterbein College distance squad as well. The majority of the distance runners are in training and competition for eight months out of the year, with cross country in the fall, indoor track in the winter, and outdoor track in the spring.
The '83 men's distance squad is made up of seven freshmen, one sophomore, four juniors, and one senior for a total of 13 individuals - over one-third of the total Otterbein track and field squad.
Heath High School is well represented by the freshmen as three of the seven distance runners competed on the '82 Bulldog squad. Scott Alpeter, an All-State cross country runner in 1981, competed in the mile and 2-mile runs indoors. Alpeter, who will be running the 5,000-meter and steeple chase events outdoors, placed fourth in the O.A.C. Indoor Championship's 2-mile run, and broke the Otterbein indoor record in the event with a time of 9:22.36. Alan Campbell, Alpeter's roommate, will compete in the 3.1-mile race in the outdoor season. Paul Collier, a winter transfer from Baldwin Wallace, will compete in the middle distance races of the 400 and 800-meters.
Ray Bowman, an '82 graduate of Waverly High School, will compete in the 800 and 1500-meter races. Bowman missed most of the indoor season because of shin problems but ran in the 600 prelims in the indoor conference meet.
One of three out-of-state members of the distance harriers is freshman Kevin Chambers. Chambers, from Youngsville High School in Pennsylvania, will compete in the 800- and 1500-runs in April and May.
Northland High School, which has brought Otterbein Jeff Kniece and Craig Merz to past Otter distance teams , brings freshman Dave McIntyre to this year's group. McIntyre will be competing in the 5000 this spring.
From the center of the state, Centerburg, Ohio, comes freshman John Thatcher. Thatcher trained with the Cardinal distance squad in the winter, but will compete in sprints in the outdoors.
The only sophomore member on the squad is Mike G inn from North Adams High School in Seaman, Ohio. G1i nn, a middle distance runner, will
compete in the 800- and 1500- meter races. The sophomore placed seventh in the mile run in the indoor championships.
Four juniors join the ranks of distance runners this year. Steve Rush, Todd Corwin, J.C. Church, and Keith Froggatt. Rush, captain for next fall's cross country team, has been injured by achilles problems most of the indoor season but will compete in the I 0,000 meter event in the spring. Corwin, a transfer from Ohio University attended Greenfield McClain High School. Corwin will run in the l 500and 5000-meter events. Church, from Marion Harding High School, has competed in several marathons and is expected to do well in the 3.1-mile race. Froggatt, another out-of-state runner, is from Southhampton, Pa. Froggatt will race in the metric mile this outdoor season.
Sprint medley record set
by Chris Cebull
Three members of the Otterbein track team qualified for the Ohio Athletic Conference Championship meet and a school record was set at the Domino's Relays held March 19-20, in Tallahassee, Fla.
Qualifying for the OAC championships to be held at Denison, May 6-7, were: Jon Divine, with a toss of 145'8" in the discus, Todd Corwin, in the 5000-meter event with a time of 15: I 1, and Sheldon Robinson in the I 00-meter and 200-meter events, with times of 10.9 and 22. 1, respectively.
Robinson also participated in the sprint medley event and set a school record with a time of 3:27.9. Other members of the record-setting team were Dave Montgomery, Paul Hollern, and Mark Burns.
The time gave the sprint medley team a fourth place finish at the meet. Others placing were Divine, who placed third in the discus, Eric Ander -
son in the shotput with a throw of 48'5", and the 400-meter relay team of Robinson, Montgomery, Paul Hollern, and Allen Schweizer, placed second with a time of 43.2.
Coach Porter Miller described the trip as "fun." Due to limited funds, only the 16 members of the team with the best performances made the trip to sunny Florida. "The weather was mediocre, but the trip was fun and everyone who went had a good time," said Miller. "The field consisted of about 30 schools and we were one of three Division III schools participating. There were some pretty big schools with some big names."
Others who participated were Scott Alpeter, who ran a I 0:0 I in the steeple chase event, Jim Smith and Scott Duncan, who pole vaulted 13'6", and Mark Burns, who ran the 1500-meter event with a time of 3:50.06
