Food Service with a smile
Has this ever happened to you? You go to the cafeteria to eat dinner at roughly 6:15 p.m. You go through the line to get your main course and although what you feast your eyes upon is not exceptionally appetizing, it is easily accessible, so you grab yourself some Shepherd's Pie and you're on your way. Here is where the trouble starts.
Wouldn't you like to have something to go along with your entree? Some vegetables perhaps? Forget it chum. They were put away long ago. Well, you can always grab a salad, cold vegetables are as good as hot ones, and you need to lose a few pounds anyway.
This sounds simple enough, but alas, the long and complicated process involved in dismantling the salad bar has begun. Well, you can always have some bread and butter, but unfortunately, the butter has also wandered off into the far reaches of the kitchen. By this time you have settled down and accepted the fact that your Shepherd's Pie must stand alone.
But a drink is necessary to wash your meal down. This becomes difficult when all of the machines have been locked for safekeeping. Well your pie is cold now, so you might as well treat yourself to some ice cream. This however is even harder than getting pop, since the machine has long since quit producing ice cream and now spits out a sludge-like substance which hardly resembles a dairy product. In disgust you turn to your best friend and ask the typical question: "Wanna' go to MacDonald's?"
If this has happened to you, the T&C would like to know what you think about it, and what you think should be done to change the policies concerning the nightly closing of the cafeteria.
Greeks, writers among honored
The college will recognize the likes of Greek scholars, Quiz & Quill writers as well as many other students at the annual Academic Honors Convocation next Wednesday. (See related article on page 6.)
The Honors Convocation is a particularly high honor for student participants as some of the college's best from the various academic departments and other areas across campus will be recognized in this campus-wide event.
For those of you who have never attended an Honors Convocation, let us fill you in on the particulars. In the past, it has proven to be quite a gala event, despite the fact that most students are predisposed to remain in bed and sleep.
For those students, faculty and administrators who do attend, the affair is equally intriguing. Not only will you see fellow comrades receive awards (of which they supposedly have no prior knowledge) but you will also see professors on hand to display the latest fashions in academic convocation regalia.
The honored students, the faculty and administrators process from the lawn of Towers Hall to Cowan Hall where the convocation will be held.
The convocation is then highlighted by the awarding of cash prizes, sometimes totaling as much as $100 or more.
We would encourage that, even if you are not one of the lucky recipients of a cash award, you attend the convocation anyway. Who knows, maybe one of your sc,ho larly classmates can fill you in on how to earn the honor next year.

Where's the beef?

Well , not exactly. R David Thomas, founder and senior chairman of Wend y' s International , Inc ., has been appointed a member of the Otterbein College Board of Trustees.
Thomas will serve on the executive and budget control committees of the Otterbein board
He has been appointed to a twoyear term as trustee-at-large, replacing Ned Walker of Springfield, Ohio, who resigned from the Board of Trustees in April.

He started the first Wendy's restaurant in downtown Columbus in 1969.
refused by the Campus Affairs Committee, and has become an emotional issue among many Otterbein students.
Campus Crusade for Christ, according to proposed adviser and main catalyst John Buckles, is an international, nondenominational, evangelical organization whose main goal is to spread the gospel.
PR photc
PRSSA people in the news
By Jeny Marks
Dave Williams, a junior from Newark, Ohio, was recently re-elected as Otterbein chapter president of Publie Relations Student Society of America (P.R.S.S.A.)
Helping Williams with next year's bi-monthly meetings will be Kim Whitmore, vice president; Nancy Ray, accounts officer; Mary Margaret Keefer, P.R . officer; Sheryl Brady, national liason officer; Jeff Gale, secretary-treasurer; and Diane Idapence, editor of newsletter.
Williams said that he felt this past year a better organization among officers helped the whole chapter
The P.R S.S.A. group has helped with several organizations this term. Williams noted the chapter's work with the Westerville Civic Symphony and the United Way Campaign. In the
group prepared press releases, printed posters, did photography, wrote public service announcements, and prepared a mailing list. Williams said that the project shows just some of the "practical work experience through the chapter projects."
Also available for P.R.S S.A. members are Public Relations Internships to Develop Expertise (P.R.I.D.E.). These internships are part-time and are supervised and evaluated jointly by participating sponsors and program advisors. The work gives the students professional public relations experience.
Currently 20 students are members of P R.S S.A. but the group is recruiting more students. Williams said that the P.R S.S.A. chapter is open to everyone.
Williams continued that P.R.S.S.A. is a good "opportunity to meet professionals in the P R. area," as
According to Buckles, instructor of speech communication, there is a need for such a group on campus for Christians who are more conservative or evangelical theologically.
"FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) appeals to and is geared towards athletes. Baptist Student Union is also nondenominational, but many people who aren't Baptists or athletes feel uncomfortable with those groups.''
The group's petition for organization was passed by RAC at its meeting April 26. Lorraine Zimmerman, president of RAC, submitted the group's petition to the Campus Affairs Committee for consideration during its May 10 meeting
The group was denied permission to form on campus after what college chaplain and committee member Monty Bradley termed "the best debate the committee has had'' since he became a member.
According to Bradley, the committee was concerned with the role of outside leadership, uncertainty about Campus Crusade and its functions, and reports from other campuses about aggressive proselytizing.
Lorraine Zimmerman, a senior from Mechanicsburg, somewhat questions the need of the group.
"If there was a need, why wasn't it voiced before a faculty push for the organization?'' Zimmerman also noted that about one-third of the signatures on Campus Crusade's petition were from faculty members.
monthly chapter meetings of Public Relations Society of America (P.R.S.A.) are attended by Otterbein students. P.R.S.A. is the professional chapter connected with P.R.S.S.A . Otterbein at this time is the only conference school that has a local P R.S.S.A. campus chapter. Other local area schools with student chapters are Ohio State University and Ohio University.
Keefer, a sophomore from Delaware, Ohio, transferred from Ohio Wesleyan University to Otterbein primarily because the college has a P.R.S.S.A. club. AT OWU Keefer majored in speech communications with an emphasis in public relations. The Delaware, Ohio school dropped P.R. last year, so Keefer came to Westerville.
Keefer said that P R.S.S.A. allows you to "hear about job opportunities and looks good on the resume."
Zimmerman also feels that the group would detract from other groups on campus, particularly BSU. According to Zimmerman, many students would defect from BSU because they don't want to wear the Baptist label.
Buckles, however, feels that the group wouldn't have to detract from any other campus group.
"It would be like adding a major," said Buckles. "It doesn't necessarily hurt the other majors, it just adds to the opportunities here.''
Buckles is taking the "defeat" in stride, "If God wanted it passed at this time, nothing could have stopped it."
'' It has stirred up a lot of Christians,'' added Buckles. '' People are really thinking."
Chaplain Bradley is worried that the issue may cause a rift in the campus
"Formerly, our ministry was aimed at being ecumencial, but now our main effort may need to be getting liberals and conservatives to work together We are all a part of the same body of Christ.''
Bradley added that the controversy has led him to think that there may be a need on campus for a more conservative group, but that Campus Crusade might not be the answer If there proves to be a great enough need, a group may be started to deal with this need, but it doesn't necessarily have to be a national organization.
John Buckles summed the whole situation up best.
''Lots of people are praying about it.''
