Career Discovery Week deemed a success
By KayeStith
Career Discovery Week, sponsored by the Career Center, was a smashing success last week. The goal was to inform the students about the resources offered at the center. The resource booth, which was found in the Campus Center lounge for · five days was to represent the information that a student could find in the Career Center. Books, information for job hunting, surveys and Peer Career Advisors were found at the booth " The booth was good because it contacted a lot of people during the lunch and dinner hours," said Jessie Leek, a Peer Career advisor " There were a lot of students asking questions and responding to the surveys."
The surveys asked students how aware they were of the center. It also helped to measure the student's feelings about the school and their career direction. This information will help the center become more resourceful for the students.
On Monday there was an open house that showed the computerized
system that the center houses. This computer takes information like interest, hobbies, goals and personalities of a student, then matches it to a career field that would be suitable.
"We saw more students than last year. More faculty members seemed to come last year and we are very pleased of the turnout this time," said Leek, a senior Peer Career Advisor. Frank Banks, an OSU professor, spoke to students about preventative medicine during one of the seminars on Tuesday. Also, Director of the Career Center, Marlene Suter, had a program for education majors. Her seminar was- called 'Alternatives to Teaching.'
Wednesday's program offered 'Creative Careers' by Cindy Osborn which was designed to inform students of the full variety of job options in a career field. There are many jobs that stem from a particular field. A seminar was also offered for the women who will be in the working world. This program was called "Women and Work." There were four women who are related to Otterbein speaking.
Hall directors and R.A. s named for 1983-84 year
By.Joy Grandstaff
Hall directors, assistants to the hall directors and resident assistants have been chosen for the 1983-84 school year, according to Mary Pembroke, director of residence hall life.
Along with a new title for an old job, a new position has also been formed.
Hall directors are in fact what most students now recognize as Head Residents. "The hall directors will be in charge of the entire facility," said Pembroke "Some have been chosen from present and former Otterbein students and some will be coming to Otterbein for the first time," said Pembroke.
Hall-directors are as follows: Jessie Leek, Hanby; Kim Collier, Clements; Margie McAllister, Garst-ScottEngle; Don Miller, Mayne; and Stephen Locker, Davis-Davis Annex.
"All the hall directors were chosen because of their administrative skills, programming skills, experience, and counseling skills," said Pembroke
The new position formed for next year is that of assistant to the hall director. These students are secondyear R.A.'s, but will carry additional responsibilities.
"In addition to their R.A. duties, each assistant will be coordinating residence hall judicial cases, serve as assistant director to the residents hall council, help advise, train, and select the residents hall judicial board and assist the hall director in the total administration of the dorm," said Pembrook.
"Each assistant will also be doing one project per term for the residence hall office," added Pembroke.
Assistants to the hall directors are as follows: Scott Bardall, Davis; Betsy Wolf, Garst-Scott-Engle; penise Musselman, Clements; Kim Whitmore, Hanby; and Jerry Thaman, Mayne.
Resident assistants for each facility have also been chosen. Serving in Davis Hall will be Scott Bardall, Jerry Fairchild, Dave Skrobot, Bill Shade, and Allen Schweizer.
Clements R.A.'s will be Lori Ashcraft, Laurie Brown, Denise Musselman, Annette Newman and Susan Wiley.
Hanby Hall will house Cindy McKelvey, Lynn Rigg, Patty Royer, Jenny Sorrell and Kim Whitmore. Serving in Garst will be Deborah Brennan, Rhonda Gearhart and Betsy Wolf. Engle Hall R.A.'s are Chip Gardner and Tom Williams.
Davis Annex will house Lora Chappelear and Jill Sommer. Paula Mathieu and Cindy Shover will be R.A.'s in Scott Hall.
Mayne Hall R.A.'s will be Michael Hitt, John Ricarte, Jerry Thaman-, Ray Zawadzki, and Ty Huggins.
Jenny Linker will be the R.A. for the International House.
" All residence hall employees will be returning to school one week early next fall for an intense training program," said Pembroke. "The training will be held off-campus two days, and then move on-campus for the remainder of the week."
three graduates and Mrs. Stahler;wife of the admissions director. They focused on the issues that women have · to face in the working world.
'How to survive after graduation' was tackled on Thursday. Two recent graduates, Rick Harle and Mark Johnson, spent some time helping students with a little foresight of what comes next. They shared their experiences of job hunting, grad school, and the difficult transition from a
student to a professional.
At noon at the Campus Center dining hall prizes were given away on Friday. Students won prizes like free resume printing, T-shirts, and keychains. They were able to enter the drawing by filling out the survey at the booth.
The most important outcome of the Career Discovery Week was that " we contacted a lot of people that needed to know about their career choices."
Senate participation low
By Sandy Ramey
Low attendance characterized the last meeting of the Otterbein College Senate for this academic year Wednesday, May l l.
After establishing a quorum, it was determined not enough voting members were in attendance to vote on by-law amendments (40 percent of the voting members must be present for a quorum, but 2 3 of the total is needed to vote on by-law amendments). Because of the shortage of senators, three by-law amendments will not be voted on until the first meeting of the 1983-84 academic year.
In other business, 13 bills concerning changes in curriculum were carried, involving changes in courses in psychology, history, speech communication, public relations, french, spanish, greek, data analysis, home economics, and men's and women's health and physical education.
A " College Statement on Hazing"
was approved, as :was the constitution of the Otterbein chapter of the Public Relations Students Society of America. Sent back to the Campus Services and Regulations Committee was the constitution of the Power Lifting and Physical Conditioning Club.
Two people were approved to receive honorary degrees from Otterbein: Grace Hopper (DCS) and John A. Patton (OBA).
The calendar of meetings of campus organizations was approved for 1983-84.
Two faculty and two students were elected as representatives to the alumni council. Faculty members Porter Miller and Mary Cay Wells, and students Jennifer Walsh and Beth Shreiber were elected.
To close the meeting, Dean Hamilton thanked the senate for its patience in the curriculum review, and President Kerr expressed his appreciation for everyone's participation in the senate during the past year.

Play it again, Sam!
Have you even been driven crazy by a broken record repeating the same phrase of a song until it actually endangers your sanity?
Well, at the risk of driving T&C readers to the same unstable mental state, the T&Cstafffeels we must once again address the same issue of vandalism on campus.
As shown in the photo-feature on Page 3, vandalism in the dorms is still on the rise.
Why? We have considered the rough economic times, the pressures of classes in their last few weeks of school, the general negative attitude toward Otterbein, and even the consequences of trying to lose 25 pounds before summer begins. However, we found none of these reasons adequate to explain the continued abuse OC's dorms are taking.
Not only is the damage a pain for residents to live around, it is now beginning to be somewhat of a financial burden. As explained in the related story, when a vandal is not caught, the entire hall and sometimes the entire dorm is held responsibte for repairs.
We encourage not only the people who insist on destroying their surroundings to stop, but also for those witnessing the vandalism to report the incident. We realize that this is the uncool thing to do, but it sure beats forking out even more money to the college to pay for someone's else's stupidity.

Vandalism cause for concem for many residents
By Scott Cavanagh
Vandalism has been a problem at Otterbein for quite some time. During the course of this year, however, destruction of college property has reached enormous proportions.
Now here has this destructive trend been more evident than Mayne Hall. So far this year, over $1500. worth of damage has been done in Mayne. Each time something is destroyed or damaged in the hall, the person responsible for the damage is required to pay the college in full for the replacement of the object. When the perpetrator cannot be found however, all persons on the floor where the damage took place are required to divide the costs. If something is destroyed in a visitation area such as a lounge, all residents in the dorm are responsible for a part of the damage
Many times, this system results in small bills for each resident, with relatively inexpensive items being divided by 116 residents.
The trouble arises· when large a m ounts of damage are done at one •time. When residents are slapped with large bills for acts they had nothing to d o with, they no longer laugh at the small, half-sheets of paper they receive via campus mail.
A perfect example of the vandalism of 1983 was the night of April 4th. On that night, a fire alarm was set off on fourth floor Mayne. The Westerville Fire Department charged $220 for the fire run. Later in theevening, four smoke alarms were destroyed. The fire department discovered the alarm was the result of water from a fire extinguisher being sprayed into a smoke detector
This single night's incidents cost residents of Mayne over $700.
The billing system is set up as a deterrent to student vandalism , but it raises the question of whether every student has to be a 24-hour-a-day. watchdog, in order to protect his own financial interest.
Chuck Castle, Mayne's Hall Director, believes "It is impossible to find the persons who commit each act. Sometimes people will come forward and admit an accident, but no one ever just tells on someone else."
Castle said he is not sure about the overall effectiveness of the rule but he does believe it is a deterrent. Castle said, "I think it does deter vandalism some, because it makes students think a little, but I question the fairness of students having to watch out for the acts of other students."
Joanne Van Sant, Dean of Students, said, "When we started the present billing system, we looked at the systems being used at other schoo ls, and about 70 percent of the schools were using this system." Vansant believes the system has good points and bad points, but it is definitely a deterrent to student vandalism.
When asked about the fairness of all students in the dorm being billed for damages, Vansant rep lied, "I think it is better to divide the repair costs among students who live in the dorm where the damage took place, rather than having the ge ne r al st ud ent body have to pay through t u ition raises."
ls this what you think of OC? Well, someone obviously thinks so. Little do they know this little sign cost the college some money.
Residents react
The following are comments made by Mayne residents in response to the recent billings and the question of the present billing system.
Sophomore Greg Hippler: "I think it (the rule) causes more vandalism because the people are not afraid of being caught; because they believe it will simply be divided up."
Senior Brian Blakely: "I think it is unfair that people on a particular floor have to pay for vandalism which could easily have been done by someone on another floor; or another building for that matter."
Junior Jim Sharpe; "l think the rules would be 0. K. if the people were billed right away with the date for payment being a short time, this may make the students have to pay themselves, and think twice before breaking something."
Junior Jeff Bradway: "I think the residents should be repsonsible enough to know what's going on on their floor, but I don't think people who are not in the dorm at the time of the incident should have to pay."

R.E.M. album awakens listeners from tranquility
only a lad
By Dave Eisnaugle
R.E.M. is a band to lose sleep over. Murmur, R.E.M.'s debut LP, will one minute loll the listener to tranquil harmony, and then suddenly splash cold, rhythmic ringingsat the nodding listener.
R.E.M. hails from Athens, Georgia, the city better known for spawning the obnoxious first cousins of Devo, the B-52's. Acting as Chairmen of Cool, the B-52's showed America that Georgia was more than a cotton dumping ground. The B-52's may have come on a bit too strong. R.E.M., a 350° turn from the Rock Lobsters, wants to strip Athens of the glitter and wild fashions, and bring integrity and seriousness back to music.
R.E.M.'s Chronic Town EP successfully sampled for us last year the intelligent music we could look forward to from them. The EP cautioned critics to leave a space open in their review columns for their forthcoming album.
The hay-strewn field on Murmur's cover symbolizes the songs found inside - many of the songs have a pastoral, lazy, folk-feel, but a few, fast swirling songs breathe life into the settled calmness. The cover also lets onto the mood present in the album. A sense of urgency persists in the songs. R.E.M. sings of miscommunication ("Radio Free Europe"), utopian crusades ("Pilgrimage"), and maturity ("Catapult").
R.E.M. uses only the four basic elements of a band - voice, bass, guitar, and drum. Guitarist Peter Buck favors a folkish sound, which adds a strolling sensation throughout the pastoral songs. The term "folk" causes some people to cringe, because images of wheat germ and communes generally come to mind. R.E.M. strips the sap from folk, and keeps the poetic and molodic feeling, as in "We Walk."
Take out the whine from Bob Dylan's voice, throw in a tad of Ian Anderson's husky voice, and then you have a sense of what vocalist Michael
Stipe sounds like. Stipe mutters himself through several songs, almost daring the listener to decipher his warbled garble. Stripe's rumbling singing and Buck's stirring guitar work dominate R.E.M.'s sound, but Mike Mills thumping bass and Bill Berry's persistent drumming help scoot the songs along at a brisk pace.
Murmur will most likely end up as one of those albums that is highly raved by critics, but sit dejected in the record store bins. R.E.M.'s sound is infectuous, but only if you give it a chance. "Radio Free Europe" and 'Catapult" are two finely crafted songs crying to be played to the public, but radio will surely ignore their pleas.
Let's keep a close eye on R.E.M. Hopefully, they won't be one of those bands that when you blink once, they are no longer there. R.E.M. deserves a better chance than that.

James Thurber comes alive on Cowan Hall stage
by Charlotte Latvala
William Windom was James Thurber Tuesday night in Cowan Hall.
Windom portrayed the great American humorist in a two-hour, one-man show, "Thurber I", in front of a packed and appreciative house.
Dressed in Thurber-hke garb, complete with green visor and bright red socks Windom first appeared, ma smgle spotlight, clanging away at a typewriter.
He proceeded to pull the_ audience in bit by bit with his selections from f bl " " Thurber's report, stories, and a es. He strolled across the stage, playing all the various roles in each particular anecdote, mugging and gestering accordingly. The first long scene was of a husband and wife abroad in France,
and all the troubles they get into via the French-English handbook. "Useful" expressions include "Where is porter number 153?" and "She was run over!"
The longer pieces were broken up by short, fable-like animal stories, populated by moths, lions, lizards, and two dogs named Plunger and Plod. Animals hold an important place in Thurber's work, as shown by one longer, touching piece about a favorite black poodle.
References to places in Columbus (the corner of Broad and High) made an impact on the crowd. Thurber was, of course, from Columbus, and worked as a reporter for The Dispatch for a time. Many members of the Thurber Circle, a Columbus organization, were in the audience.
Windom was especially funny in scenes that involved whiny wives and henpecked husbands, as he switched his versatile voice back and forth from character to character. Thurber's dry wit and sense of the perils of human nature seem custom-made for Windom's comic delivery.
The last segment of the show was perhaps the crowd's favorite, as Wi_ndom did the famous "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty." Windom's trans formation from the shy, bumbling Mitty into the dashing characters that populate Mitty's imagination was as funny as could be imagined from reading Thurber's original.
Windom knew how to hold the audience's attention for a sustained period of time, and did it masterfully. It must be a tremendous strain to be onstage, alone, for two hours of constant monologue, but Windom made it look as easy as sitting down to Sunday
dinner. He is either a born storyteller or an outstanding actor - perhap_s I suspect, both. I also sensed a genuine respect and appreciation of Thurber s work from him.
It would hardly be a surpnse if a little of Thurber has crept into William Windom, since he has been portraying the writer for the past decade: Y ou may remember the Emmy-wmmng television series of 1969-1970 My World and Welcome To It , m which Windom played Thurber. He has appeared in ma_ny television programs and movies smce, mcludmg roles in "Star Trek", "Winesburg, Ohio", and " To Kill a Mockingbird."
Windom provided a uniquely entertaining evening and probably won over many new Thurber fans. In this age of Apple computers and HBO: it is refreshing to see people truly enJOY the revival of such insightful and funny writings about human silliness.
Otterbein proudly continued a tradition by presenting William Windom with a college patch for his treasured jacket.
Otterbein students Shondra Keck/ey and Mark Seymour presented Windom the red-clothed patch with the college insignia on it. Collecting patches at each performance is a tradition Windom first started at Pepperdine University. Over the years, Windom has collected about 150 patches, which cover two jackets ".
"The jackets make me look like a skeet shooter, said Windom, as he proudly held up his newly acquired patch
A Jot of trouble went into getting the Otterbein patch , according to Becky Smith, student activities coordinator The Bookstore does not sell patches, so Smith and Barbie Thoburn, student activities assistant, purchased an Otterbein shirt with a patch on it.
"We just tore it off the shirt," said Smith.

Tennis team optimistic; look to next season
By Pam Clay
"I have to be pleased with this year's season," said Otterbein's men's tennis coach Tom Nelson.
At the end of regular season and tournament play, the team finished 9-3 overall, 6-2 in the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC), and placed ninth out of 12 teams in theOACtournament. Last year, the men's tennis team finished with a 4-9 overall season and placed twelfth out of 14 teams in the OAC tournament.
Nelson said, "I am most optimistic with this year's team, but most of the improvement came from last year's personnel. The only freshmen on the team were Dan Morris from Miamisburg, Ohio and Andy Sinclair from Columbus, Ohio.
Looking toward next year's team, recruiting is going to be an important factor, according to Nelson. "I'm trying to see· as many Central Ohio tennis players as possible," said Nelson. "Most of the high school seniors have already signed with prospective colleges so we are looking more now to recruiting high schooljuniors." Nelson is also counting on alumni to give him the names of people who might be prospective players.
Improving doubles play is going to be another important part of next year's season. "We started off in such a weak position in doubles," said Nelson. "We have improved much, but we cannot look for miracle turn arounds anymore."
Next year, the team will be playing a tougher schedule, according to Nelson, and the team wilt really need to work hard on the off season. "We are allowed a certain number of practices before March 1 and I want to use some of them in the fall while the weather is still warm," he said.
In looking at the individual player, Nelson is looking at sophomore Scott Cavanagh and freshmen Dan Morris and Andy Sinclair for continual improvement.
"Scott had the difficult position of being number two this year," said Nelson. "He had to improve because of the level of competition he was playing." According to Nelson, Cavanagh had some good wins, but he needs more consistency.
Morris had an exceptionat year as a freshman, finishing with a 10-2 season winning a consolation round in the OAC tournament, according to Nelson. "If he continues to improve, he will be a very good player," he said.
'"Andy was one of the most consistent players," said Nelson. Sinclair is a transfer student and has two more years of playing eligibility on the team.
Even though the team's improvement this year came from last year's personnel, Nelson will not be getting anymore help from graduating seniors Dave Fox, Mark.Holm, and Jeff Jones.
According to Nelson, next year's goals include trying to beat the teams Otterbein came very close to defeating, such as Mt. Vernon Nazarene College and trying to improve their finish in the OAC tournament.

Columnist talks with sports- illiterate - Extra Point
By Dave Graham
Last week you read the first part of an interview I had with a freshman named Stacey Ciancio. If you read that, you probably surmised that Stacey is not an avid sports fan. I would go as far to say she considers most all sports a waste • of anyone's time.
This week is the conclusion of that interview. Some people have asked me if Stacey is real. She is, and to repeat myself, everything you will read was real and unrehearsed. And now for the rest of the story (haven't I heard that somewhere before?)
Graham: O.K. now it's time for a little game. It's called "word association." I'm going to read a list of words and you say the first thing that pops into your mind. Ready?
Baseball - Appte pie
Football - Walking around a track
Basketball - Boring
Hockey - Puck
Tennis - Little skirts
Golf - Old men wearing plaid pants
Soccer - Bad memories
Pigskin - Precious
Slider - Is that a kind of popsicle or something?
The hot corner - As opposed to the cold one?
Ciancio: I've bowled before!
Graham: Oh, really, tell me about it.
Ciancio: Well, the last time I bowled was after a banquet, so I was in a formal dress. I went in and got those ugly little bowling shoes, and got lotsa gutter balls, but sometimes I surprised everyone and got a strike, or a spare, whichever is good.
Graham: They are both good, Stacey. So do you plan to attend any more sporting events at Otterbein? (She is a freshman.) •
Ciancio: Well, sometimes it's fun to go so you can see people and talk and have a good time
Graham: As a social event, right?
Ciancio: True.
Graham: Did you every play any sports, or anything for that matter, just for fun?
Ciancio: I used to play frisbee, but my dad made me stop because I used to hit all the tomato plants and kill them.
Graham: I guess you weren't real good at that either, huh?
Ciancio: No, not too good.
Graham: Does your family have a history of being athletically inept?
Ciancio: We prefer cultural things rather than athletic things. Like the ballet, I love the ballet.
Graham: Well that's very athletic. Did you know ballet dancers are in better shape than most jocks?
Ciancio: I know, but most people don't like to hear that.
Graham: Yes, I can see that. Alright, it's opinion time. What do you think about all the high salaries in pro sports?
Ciancio: I'm the wrong person to ask that because I have nothing good to say. I guess I could compare it to someone who is in the performing arts.
Graham: Don't you see any talent in pro athletes, if they can do really amazing things with whatever sport they have? That a guy can throw a ball so big into a rim just slightly bigger from 25 feet away?
Ciancio: Yes, and I'm real proud of that guy, but I just can't understand why people get so worked up about that. It's such an empty-minded thing to sit there and watch somebody throw a ball from one end of the field to the other, or have big guys jumping on top of one another breaking each other's bones. That's just so dumb.
Graham: Don't you think alot of it. has to do with how we were brought up being so competitive? That the people
in the crowd want to see one team or person do better than the other? They want to be better at something so they choose athletics.
Ciancio: Oh, I won't disagree with you, but you can be competitive in other ways too, without hurting people.
Graham: Don't you think watching something more realistic, like a sporting event, is better than watching a silly soap opera?
Ciancio: Oh, well I wouldn't watch either, unless I wanted a good laugh, then I'd watch a soap. I can understand them.
That concluded the interview, one that started out like a joke. Something that would make light reading. It ended up being that - and much more. It gave me an insight of someone who can't conceive getting excited about athletics. I'm glad it happened. I'd like to thank her for all her co-operation.

Cards defeat Marietta, capture southern division
By Michael Sokolowski
"We went down to Marietta with the idea of beating them, and we did," coach Dick Fishbaugh said after the Cardinals captured the O.A.C. Southern Division Championship by defeating Marietta 6-2 on Monday.
The Cards provided Kirk McDonald with an early 2-0 lead in the first as Dave Weaver, Brett Brownfield and Mike Blythe hit consecutive singles for Otterbein.
" Those first two runs were the big blows for us in the game," said Fishbaugh. Otterbein added two more runs in the second and third innings against Marietta's tough left-handed Terry Mulholland with Tim Harris and Jim Hoyle scoring. Mulholland, previously undefeated at 12-0, became a spectator in the -sixth inning when Harris singled again, and Jon Mastel blasted his third home run of the year over the right field fence " It was good to see
Jon bounce back after a couple of errors and hit that homerun," added Fishbaugh. Jim Kennedy finished the game for Marietta replacing Mulholland.
Sophomore ace Kirk McDonald, was flawless, scatterin,g five hits and forcing Marietta batters to hit into routine ground balls with his sinking fastball.
His record now stands at 10-2 with a l.84 E.R.A. in 93 innings pitched. He also has 12 complete games under his belt in as many tries and has not lost a.game since Marietta defeated him on April 12.
Otterbein scored four runs in the first frame as Mike Blythe tripled home two runs. The Cards collected three more runs in the middle innings and three in the fifth inning when Jeff Jarrett doubled to score Mastel and Mike Goodwin.
Weaver and Blythe each had a big game combining for five hits and five R.B.l.'s. Glen Alexander notched his fifth win against two losses with his sixth complete game of the campaign.
Neither team could muster much sco ring in the second game as Blythe scored the lone run on a sacrifice fly g· by Tim Harris in the fourth.
Gates upped his record 4-2 in the rainshortened affair.
Otterbein, 14-1 in the conference and 22-8 overall, will host the conference championship against Ohio Northern University in a double header on Friday afternoon.
."They beat us pretty good the first time we played," Fishbaugh said, adding, '"We each had 14 hits, but our pitchers allowed too many walks."
O.N.U. is 13-l in the league and 23- l 0 overall. Game time is l :00 with Glen Alexander and Kirk McDonald scheduled to hurl for the Cards.
If Otterbein and O.N.U. split the double header they will play on Satur-' day in this best of three series,

Three Cardinals getting psyched for national meet
By Chris Cebull and Dave Williams
A senior, a junior, and a sophomore are preparing for the Division III NCAA Championship meet at North Central College in Illinois.
Mark Burns qualified for the meet earlier this year in the 1500-meter run. Burns holds the school record in this event. Earlier this year Burns said, "This year's team is the best I've been on at Otterbein." Burns, a senior and one of the three captains, has had an outstanding year. Head coach Porter Miller spoke highly of Burns, saying, "He's an outstanding athlete."
Also qualifying was junior and tri-captain Jon Divine in the discus. Earlier, he crushed the school record· set by Jeff Baugh last year with a throw of 161'6". "I've been working since last June for this chance, and I'm going to do the best I can," said Divine. Speaking about the national meet, Divine said, "I like throwing against good throwers, I watch them and seem to do better."
Shot-putter Tyra Horn, a sophomore, will be the only Lady Card going to the national meet at North Central College near Chicago. Horn qualified for nationals earlier this season with a toss of 40'7", she needed 39'4". Freshman Candee Morris attempted to qualify at a meet in Wooster last Friday but failed to throw the discus the needed 130'. Earlier this season she threw for 1237".
The national meet will be May 23-28.
Otterbein pitcher Doug Gates sailed ! along smoothly until the sixth. In that inning the Muskies loaded the bases, but came up wet, as the skies opened and the rains came, washing out any thoughts of a Muskingum comeback.
