What do the presidential search and the phone system at Otterbein have in common? Well, both of them require a lot of waiting and yet, you still don't hear anything.
It has been brought to the attention of the Tan and Cardinal staff that callers are waiting an unreasonable length of time for the switchboard operators to answer 'the phone. There are a couple of reasons for this problem as well as a couple of solutions. To make it easier. let's first get a review of the new phone system and its features.
I. The new phone system has 24 incoming lines. These lines in no way affect the number of outgoing calls.
2. Currently. the system has two operator stations to handle incoming calls.
3. When the new system is finally completed (it's been undergoing repairs for several months now) individual offices on campus will be able to place long distance calls without the switchboard operator's assistance.
4. Otterbein is currently working with the phone company to correct a malfunctioning line. The faulty line is deceiving to the person placing the call because they are hearing the phone ring when in actuality the switchboard is not even receiving the call.
Let's now examine why you must sometimes wait for your call to be answered at the switchboard. First, with 24 incoming lines, it is difficult for two operators (sometimes only one) to answer these calls. Secondly. and more importantly. many people complain they are waiting an unreasonable amount of time while dialing the switchboard. Chances are good, this is caused by the faulty line. Bob Meyer. assistant business manager director of the Campus Center, said that the phone company is trying to correct the problem. Our suggestion to those of you who arc still waiting for the operator to answer the phone: hang up and try again.
For those of you who have heard rumors that having direct lines into each room would solve the problem, this is not true. According to Meyer. this is not a feasible solution for the campus.
Now that you better understand the situation hopefully, the next time you call the switchboard the problem will be corrected or you can hang up and try again.
With the deletion of Frank Mitchell's position as co-op director. we can't help but wonder at this time if the program will suffer any setbacks.
The program. since its origination almost IO years ago. has placed over 200 students in jobs with area employers. Frank Mitchell, co-op director. has been instrumental in getting many businesses as well as students to participate in the program.
Althhough Mitchell's position is being dissolved. the co-op program will continue. The Career Center in the meantime. will adopt the program and according to Career Center Director Marlene Suter, "We're going to rearrange some staffing in our office."
Suter says the move is a "transitory solution." She will rearrange some of the staffing in her office to accommodate the extra time needed to devote to the co-op program. In the long run, though, "it will mean more work for our office," she added.
Since the Career Center will handle all co-op transactions. this alleviates the pressure from the academic departments to coordinate them In addition. the Career Center will provide a central location for students and employers. alike.
However. Suter said the Career Center is only planning to commit approximately IO hours hours a week to the co-op program. whereas the co-op office employed one full-time director (Mitchell) and one three-fourths time secretary (Pat Adcock).
We would hope that. in spite of the obvious differences in the amount of time that will now be devoted to the co-op program. the quality and the interest (for both student and employer) won't diminish. The co-op program alone. attracts many students to Otterbein and we would hope that this transition will not hinder their decision.
Within the next vear. a committee will evaluate the co-op and the internship program to decide how those programs can best be administered. Hopefully, they will find a more viable solution so that more time and effort can be devoted to this worthwhile program.

Last spring, the Department of Theatre and Dance added a dance minor to its curriculum.
At the conclusion of its first year, according to Dr. Charles Dodrill, things have gone better than was hoped for the dance department.
With dance being one of the fastest growing areas of the performing arts. Dodrill said. "'It occurred to us there arc undouhtahly Ottcrhcin students w ho want to dance. So we decided to give them someplace to do it. So this program is not _just for theater students. it is for any student who wants to take it."
This year a modest numher of classes were added to the curriculum and at the same time two professional
dancers were hired to teach the classes. Jennv Adams and Scott Timm were hired from the Columbus professional dance troupe Dance Central, to instruct students.
There are no prerequisites for any of the dance classes. Before this year only beginner and intermediate classes were available, but now with the added classes, advanced classes are open to students who already have some expertise.
One of the new classes is Dance Club. According to Dodrill it has been functioning during the past winter and spring terms and doing very well. Susie Brown. a sophomore elementary education major. a mcmhcr of dance club. feels v ery good about her experience in the club because it gives her a change to explore and cultivate her interest in dance.
The classes available through the dance department are different than the ones offered by the physical education classes. The classes taught in physical education are taught at a slower pace. The classes available through the dance department are taught at ahigher level according to Dodrill.
With the growing dance department and the addition of the dance minor itself. Otterbein has felt some of the results. This vear for the first time Otterbein wiil host the 1984 Spring Festival of the Association of the Ohio Dance Companies. This festival will be held on June I and 2.

Ephron's talk however, was definitely the highlight of the evening. Using Joan Mondale's speech as a springboard, she launched into the claim that women haven't really advanced, they have just come full circle.
There were very few women in middle management I 5-20 years ago, and they were paid 47 percent less than men, said Ephron.
"There arc many more women employed in these positions in 1984. But now they're paid 48 percent less. There has been no change.'' she said For 45 minutes, Ephron elaborated on women's full-circle progress , using Lamaze and journalism as illustrations. Her speech was very entertaining and sometimes controversial.
