Punishment of RA 'tea drinkers': too strong?
Since the illegal " tea" party which occurred at the Sphinx fraternit y house a few weeks ago, several events have taken place affecting the six resident assistants involved. Disciplinary action was taken last week against the R.A. s who attended the party. The six RA s were suspended from duty for two weeks without compensation and they were required to complete a project dealing with the role of the RA "in all aspects of the campus."
To.find out what the campus thought of this disciplinary acti9n, we asked several students on campus how fair they thought the punishment was and if they would have sanctioned different punishment.
Betsy Wolf, a senior from Chillicothe, is serving a s a head resident assistant this year and has been an RA for the past two year s "I don't think the punishment was correct," she said. But, she added, "I don't think it would have been right for the other RA s to take over their responsibility."
"We were told at the RA summer orientation that (f we were ever caught at a party we would be fired," she added. In that respect, she said, the punishnrent wasn't fair to other RAs. Student personnel apparently handled it the way they wanted to, she said.
Todd Wilkin, a senior from Hillsborough, said, "RA s have always been going to off-campus parties, and even on-campus parties as well " The RA s at the Sphinx party were "one of the few to get caught."
"I feel they shouldn 't have gotten their money taken away. I also believe the student personnel office didn't look into detail when they took away their (the RA s)power, "by suspending them. "It may cause more problems in the dorms" because there are fewer RA s , he added.

Karen Frye, a sophomore from Springfield, believes that the punishment was just but doesn't believe the remaining RA s should shoulder the added responsibilities caused by the absence of the suspended RA s. "It's unfair to them to make up other RA s work," she added.
"They're ( RA s) always supposed to set examples for their residents. But, they're students too and I don't think they should have to be role models all the time," she added.
"I was surprised they didn't refer everybody at the party," said Polly James, a freshman from Bowling Green Since it was an on- campus party, she assumed everyone involved would be punished. "If the \' were going to refer the RA s, then it's not fair they didn 't refer everybody ."
"They (RA s) are supposed to be role models, and they knew they were taking a chance" by going to the part y, she added.
Jan Cook, a sop h o more from Columbu s , said, "Th ey took on that position and kn e w w ha t t h ey were getting into. The v kn ew th e r e would be a punishment if they went t o the party and got caught. "
"I don't know if th e pun is hment will help them be bette r R A s, but I think it might improve th e RA program. I think the project th ey 're d o ing is good. /fyou're an RA, you 're an RA all over campus," she added.

Pohl promoted to assistant director of admissions
Dan Pohl, newly appointed assistant director of admissions, has proven that one can succeed at Otterbein in more ways than one.
Besides being a recent graduate of Otterbein, Pohl was recently prorooted from admissions counselor to assistant director of admissions. He has served as admissions counselor for the past 2 ½ years.
Although his new title carries no new duties, he admitted that he and the entire admissions staff have added responsibilities since Phil Bovenizer assistant director of financial aid, left his position as assistant director of admissions. Pohl's promotion was approved by the Board of Trustees at their April meeting.
Pohl says he has applied to his job many of the fundamentals he learned while at Otterbein as a public relations major. "I get to use my speaking and writing skills and it (admissions) gives me a lot of variety."
Working in admissions does provide one with a lot of variety. Besides counseling prospective students his job requires extensive travel. "The most I've ever traveled is 1,300 miles m one week," he said. But, he added, "I Jove the travel schedule. It grows on you."
Besides the variety of traveling, he added that he has built many friendships with counselors from other schools. He said that these friendships help break the monotony of traveling all the time.
He also enjoys the ACT presentations that he has been giving to high school students and their parents at area high schools. From projects like these, he says "I can see immediate responses from the people and determine how effective I was."
In addition to working with new students he is also in charge of Host and Tour, which enlists the services
of current Otterbein students to show prospective students the campus. Currently, he is in the process of choosing members for Host and Tour. This year, he enlisted the help of Otterbein faculty to recommend students for this project and to date has received over l 30 recommendations. Interviews to narrow the field to 2025 students will begin May 4.

WOBN is planning for next year and hopes to continue to grow and improve. According to Buckles, WNCI and Nationwide Corporation donated some of their old equipment to the station. One of the goals that WOBN is heading for is the building of a new production studio mainly because the speech and communications department is one of the fastest growing departments on campus.
WOBN also has a new remote system. This makes it possible for WOBN to travel to dances and special events, as well as bringing revenue into WOBN and it is a good public relations tool for them, according to file photo John Buckles Buckles.

The story in brief goes something Teyve ask God "Why me?" There are like this A Russian dairyman the problems of changing tradition named Teyve has quite a family. His and continuing Czarist influence on wife, Golde , is very devoted, but some- his little village of Anatevka.
When "Fiddler on the Roof' first appeared on Broadway in 1964 it was the winner of the Drama Critics Award as well as winning nine Tony awards. The score includes such memorable songs as "Sunrise, Sunset", "To Life" and a twenty minute musical collage called "Bottle Dance."
Compared to recent musicals done on the Otterbein stage, "Fiddler" has an incredibly large cast, which does give the crew some trouble in positioning props and sets in the backstage area. However, a large cast is also a must for this particular show, which director Charles Dodrill says, " a colorful story with magnetic appeal for all faiths and backgrounds." Dodrill should know this first hand, as he was also the director of the l 972 production of "Fiddler on the Roof," at Otterbein.
Students who have been cast in principal parts are Craig lcsman and Tracy Jones (Teyve and Golde), who made their last stage appearances in "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Freshman Catherine Randazzo will appear as Yete, and Gina Grogg, Sherri Puderbaugh, and Marie Magisano have been cast as Teyve's three eldest daughters. Children who have been cast are Tirzah Wise, Rachel Fuller, Christopher Kazar, and Todd Farrell.
The Bock/ Barnick musical "Fiddler on the Roof" will make a return appearance on the Cowan Hall stage this weekend. This last production was staged in 1972 and was also directed by Dr. Charles Dodrill
Assisting Dodrill in this production, which runs Thurs.-Sat. at 8: 15 and Sunday at 2:30 will be Craig Johnson, vocal director; Dr. Lyle Barkhymer, musical director; and Joanne Vansant, choreographer. Also assisting at the technical end of the production will be Otterbein graduate Terry Espenscheid, who is serving as production designer. This is a position usually occupied by Professor Fred Thayer, who is on sabbatical this term.
So, you're convicend, no? Well, take an evening off and see the show. However, it might be wise to get over to the box office and get a ticket right away (if you haven't already done so). According to Nadine Sheridan, box office worker, tickets are all but gone for nearly every show. "Most seats on the main floor are gone. The only remaining seats are on the side and in the balcony, and they're going fast," she said. Another reason for the large crowds is the amount of season ticket holders who are including this in their packet, as well as parents of the actors, and those parents and alumni who will be on campus for May Day festivities. Sheridan did mention however, that a new ruling where faculty and staff must pay to attend Friday and Saturday night performances doesn't seem to have affected sales in that area. So, now you know what it's all about-see you at Cowan Hall!

OC track team dominates Muskie meet
by Mike Mesewicz
Success: A question Coach Porter Miller has not had to inquire into this season.
Take for example two Cardinal track members going to the national meet, or the many Otterbein track members who have already qualified for the conference meet, or the 179.5 to 114.5-112-60-44-41-6 runaway against the competitors from Denison, Muskingum, Findlay, Marietta, Wittenberg, and Capital, Friday at Muskingum.
In a very good team effort the Cardinals won 7 out of a possible 18 events. The Cardinals were strong in both the field and running events. Coach Miller said, "It was a rewarding team effort."
In the field event category the senior duo of Eric Anderson and Jon Divine took first and second place honors in the discus with throws of 146'10" and 144'5", respectively. Anderson and Divine also finished, in order, second
and third in the shot put.
Other strong finishers for the Cards included senior Sheldon Robinson in the long jump, freshman Rob Hart in the pole-vault, and sophomore Tod Weihl in the javelin. All of the above finished second place.
The success continued in the running events. Sophomore Scott Alpeter ran a 9:34. 7 in the 3000 meter steeple chase to win his event while junior Michael Ginn ran a time of 3:58.9 in the 1500 meter run to win first place.
The other first place finishers were sophomore Dave Montgomery in the 400 meter run and senior Michael Corwin in the 5000 meter run.
Senior Sheldon Robinson showed his definition of success by winning two events. Robinson ran a 10.8 in the 100 meter dash and a 22.2 in the 200 meter dash to accomplish this feat.
Sophomore Pat Bennett came in second in the I00 meter dash with a close time of I 0. 9 seconds.
On Tuesday the success continued. The Cardinals handily defeated the
Personal bests for women
By Mike Mesewicz
Last Saturday's Invitational had its good points and its bad points for the Otterbein woman's track team.
As a team the tracksters finished a miserable 9th out of the ten teams, but as individual - performances go, there were some impressive highlights.
These highlights included freshman Marv Bravard's new school record in the 3000 meter run. Bravard ran this event in 12:24.48 Sophomore Candee Morris threw well for the Cardinals and came up with 5th place and a throw of 36'5". Natalie Lueder had a season best of 33' in the shot put and a personal best of 85'9" in the discus.
On Tuesday the Cardinal women traveled to Rio Grande for a dual
meet. In the meet the lady tracksters lost 90-31 but many of the women Cardinals placed. Mary Bravard broke her record again with a time of 12: 19.00 in the 3000 meter run. Bravard also took first place in the 1500 meter run and second in the intermediate hurdles.
Other top finishers included Candee Morris who took 2nd place in the shot put, Melinda Selby who placed 2nd in the 3000 meter run and 3rd in the I00 and 200 meter dashes and the javelin throw. Barb Glover placed second in the 1500 meter run, while Cheryl Valentine came in 3rd in the same event. Valentine finished 3rd behind Gretchen Shaffer who took second place in the 800 meter run and 3rd in the 400 meter run.
The next meet scheduled for the Cardinal women is this Saturday. It's a 12-team meet and the Cardinals will be running against some stiff Division I competition. Both Cleveland State and Akron are scheduled to be at the meet.
rival Crusaders of Capital. After demolishing Capital on Saturday they took to the field again to beat them 119 to 32.
Highlights of the meet included senior Eric Anderson's first place throw in the discus. The throw not only got Anderson a first place but it also qualified him for the NCAA Division Ill championship meet. Anderson will accompany fellow senior Jim Smith and Sheldon Robinson who qualified for the nationals earlier this season.
Running down the rest of the field events, in which Otterbein took all 6 first places, were senior Paul Roman who threw 162'3" in the javelin, s enior Jon Divine who threw 48'9½" m the shot put, freshman Mike Poland who jumped 41'8½" in the triple jump, sophomore Pat Bennett who jumped 20'10" in1he long jump, freshman Jim Ebright who had a jump of 10'6" in the pole-vault and finally, sophomore Mike Snyder and .junior Dave Kimmel who tied in the high jump with a

The Otterbein golf team took a strong fifth place finish last weekend at the Taylor Invitational.
The top three scorers for the Cards were Joel Riley with a 79, and Scott Simmons and Steve Wiley shooting 80.
Earlier in the week, the team went to Wittenberg for a 54 hole tournament.
jump of 6'4".
In sprinting events, sophomores Dave Montgomery and Pat Bennett took the honors for first place. Montgomery won both the I 00 and 200 meter yard dashes while Bennett won the 400 meter dash
The long distance events were just as productive for first place finishes. Scott Rush won two close races in the 800 and 1500 meter runs Freshman Richard Hart followed Rush's example of close races by winning the 1500 meter run by only one 'second.
Rounding out the rest of the first place finishes included f'reshman Scott McConaghy's win in the 400 meter intermediate hurdles and also first places in the 400 and 1600 meter relays.
In the meet Otterbein won 16 out of 18 events. This Friday is the last regular season meet before the Ohio Athletic Conference championship meet. The meet will be held at BaldwinWallace.

Simmons led the team with scores of 82, 82, and 85, for a total of 249.
Despite some injuries, the Cardinals still managed to post a I 0th place finish out of 16 teams.
This Friday and Saturday the team will be in Delaware, to compete in the Ohio Wesleyan Invitational. On Monday, the team will host the Otterbein Invitational at Little Turtle Golf Course.
