With the help of approximately 135 student volunteers, the Development office raised $ 66,856.50 with the phonathon April 18, 19, 20, 26, 27, and 28. A total of 1,526 people donated.
The money raised will go to the Otterbein Fund, which according to Eileen Thome, director of Alumni Relations, is "the annual campaign to raise unrestricted dollars for current operations." These "operations" include scholarships, library books and materials, laboratory and other academic instruction materials, faculty development projects and sabbaticals, and student co-curricular programs.
Thome stated she was "impressed with the enthusiasm and cooperation the students had for each other." She explained that students entered as teams. The band, athletic trainers, statisticians and greek organizations were represented with phonathon teams. Each evening the team that raised the most money received a $100 prize. Even though there was competition for the prize, "they really helped each other out," Thome stated. The teams met at the J.C. Penney store which donated the use of 25 phones for the cause. Team winners were: Owls (2), Janda, TEM, and EKT (2).
Sophomores Jerry Thaman and Karen Raab, representing the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic
Council, were very helpful in recruiting volunteers for the phonathon, stated Thome. In appreciation of the work of I.F.C. and Panhel, the development office will help fund a formal awards banquet at the end of the academic year.
In addition, individuals who raised the most money received prizes. According to Thome, dinners were awarded at Monte Carlo, Houlihan's, Hearth and Eagle, Chi Chi's, Buckeye Charlie's, and Monoco's Palace. Other prizes included pizzas, lunches at Windsong, T-shirts and subs.
Thome concluded the phonathon was•·successful and a very good experience" and she looks forward to next year's phonathon.

Three Otterbein faculty members have been chosen to participate in summer seminars sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Dr. James Bailey, chairman of the English department; Dr. Douglas Gray, English professor; and Dr. Mitchell Staude, assistant professor of philosophy, be spending eight weeks of their summer doing research and participating in the seminars.
According to Bailey, the groups are geared toward professors from smaller colleges. "The program makes it possible for professors to do intensive study in an area of interest at a large university where they will have access to the needed resources," said Bailey.
"To be eligible, a professor must have finished his graduate work and be teaching," continued Bailey. "Along with an application, each candidate must also submit a proposal of a research project to be worked on over the eight weeks," said Bailey.
Each professor will be working on his project in different seminars, on different topics, and at different locations.
Bailey will be attending the seminar on Democratic Culture in America from 1770-1870 at Indiana University.
"Although the seminar will involve several topics on the theme, my research project will be a study of American writers who found it difficult to find an audience in early America," said Bailey.
The project will focus on three writers: Washington lrving, Bronson Alcott and Louisa May Alcott. The latter two are "of past interest" to Bailey.
Staude will be attending the seminar on "Reasons, Justification and Knowledge" held at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln.
"My own project will focus on two things: the concepts of reasons for action and the concept of justification of emotion," said Staude.
"We will basically be fighting with the tendency to believe emotions are always irrational." explained Staude. Gray will be traveling to Princeton University to attend the seminar on Spencer. "The seminar will be dealing with four different Renaissance epic poems." said Gray.
Although Gray claims he hasn't really had time to get excited about the trip, he does have definite plans for a research project. "l will be studying the narrative structure of Roman history during my eight-week stay." he said.

"The experiences encountered by Jack Hanna while working with people and wildlife throughout the world" will be shared with seniors, faculty, trustees, administrators and their guests by the Director of the Columbus Zoo at commencement exercises June 12.
Hanna, 36, will also add an Honorary Doctor of Science from Otterbein his already extensive list of to achievements in Columbus and across America.
A 1969 graduate of ' Muskingum College. Hanna received his M.A. from the University of Tennessee and
is well known for his work with difficult animal breeding at the Columbus Zoo, television commercials. and the now-cancelled series "Hanna's Ark."
John Becker, Head Librarian and a coordinator for commencement, said he thought Hanna's speech should be enjoyable.
"I think it's going to be exciting and entertaining; he'll keep them (the audience) on their toes," said Becker. Becker said there was some feeling with certain faculty members that someone more "academic" should be the speaker. but added he felt Hanna was highly qualified, a well known
speaker, and his , presence could help strengthen Otterbein's image, especially in the Columbus area.
According to Becker. Hanna was recommended by the Senior Activities Committee last year from a list of several candidates after suggestions had been received from the general student body and faculty.
Becker added that after Hanna's approval by the Administrative Council, President Kerr sent a letter asking him tf he would be interested in speaking. The letter was sent June 15. 1982 and Hanna responded on June 20. although he had until early September to make a decision.
Sharing the platform with Hanna will be Congressman Chalmers Wylie, Virgil 0. Hinton, a 1934 Otterbein alumnus and attorney, and Paul E. Stuckey. minister of Christ United Methodist Church in Kettering. Although none of the three will speak, they are to receive honorary degrees. Wylie and Hinton will receive Doctor of Laws degrees and Stuckey will receive a Doctor of Divinity.
Wylie attended Otterbein, although he graduated from Ohio State. Hinton is a benefactor and distinguished alumnus as well as a respected attorney in Canton, according to Becker, and Stuckey's wife and three of his sons are Otterbein graduates.
Spring is finally here! And along with Mother Nature improving appearances, John Wathen, director of physical plant, is working on improving the appearance of the campus.
The T&C staff has noticed many improvements around campus since the weather has turned warmer. Most noticeably-the trees.
Wathen explained that the six trees planted in front of the Campus Center are intended to spruce up the entrance. The older trees were removed because they had not been pruned properly and thus became a hazard to people walking on the sidewalk at night. The new trees will be manicured by the grounds crew and will be trained so they will not be a hazard and will add a variety of color to the landscape, as well as a clear path to and from the Campus Center.
Along with these good intentions, however, came the usual destructive, immature actions of a few students. Monday night one of the newly-planted trees, valued at $400, was uprooted.
The T&C staff sees this as just plain stupid and childish. Not only has th'e vandal added additional work and expense to the service department, but has also ruined the landscape of the Campus Center and added to the college's expenses which eventually show up on students' tuition bills.
In addition to planting over 60 trees on campus, the service department is also working on the construction of a walkway outside the front door of Mayne Hall which will alleviate the problem of the unsightly mud slide leading toward the Campus Center. Future plans also include designing walkways from Towers Hall and the Science Building that actually lead to the crosswalks on Main St.
With luck, these plans will be able to be completed without the hinderance of some students who would rather act like I 0-yearolds than have their campus look its best.
Maybe a handprint in the cement would be cute!

Rank and File is a peculiar band. On the back cover of their first album, Sundown, there stand four young men who could easily pass for members ofa traveling country and western band of thirty years ago. Well-worn denim jackets, pearl-snap shirts, string ties, and ten-gallon hats clue the record buyer this isn't Duran Duran.
A country band? Well, no, not quite. Rank and File have been classified (in a business so fond of labels) as a country-punk band. I couldn't imagine what such a fascinating combination would sound like, so I had to buy the album. Fortunately, it is worth the six dollars I plunked down.
Rank and File started out a few years ago in Texas as a straight punk band. They couldn't play their instruments well enough to try anything else. As their musical skills sharpened, they switched to a country-flavored sound.
The result is a strange, but satisfying combination of speeded-up drumming, jangley guitars, and witty lyrics.
The distinctive vocals are provided by Chip and Tony Kinman. Tony sings in a deep, ominous-sounding boom, and Chip was a higher, jumpy voice.
Singing together, they produce warbling harmonies that remind me of the odd crooning of John and Exene Doe
of the L.A. punk band, X, another Slash Records product. Slim Evans plays the drums, _and Alejandro Escovedo handles guitars. Additional guitars, bass, and harmonica are added by the Kinmans.
Some of the lyrics follow the plaintive country themes of love and loss. "Lucky Day" is a simple and poignant ballad that would sound good echoing across the prairie. "Sundown" and "The Conductor Wore Black" follow similar veins. "This train carries liars this train carries cheats. This train carries black guards from all walks of life that you'd ever, you'd never want to meet."
More punkish. witty lyrics accompany other cuts. "l Went Walking" is a hilarious farce on faddishness in the music world. "This fellow told me that I was a square - 1 didn't wear buttons or spike my hair." "Amanda Ruth" also pulls the rug out under from the
current reggae craze: "We went downtown to hear the reggae sound - The third world beat with lyrics so profound- The words were neat and what a beat - 1 couldn't wipe the white right off of my feet."
Other top cuts include the anthemic "Rank and File," and the rollicking "l Don't Go Out Much Anymore.'' Ai d did I catch a hint of sexual innuendo in "Amanda Ruth"? "Her salt's tasty, her sugar's sweet - No she can't cook but she's got something to eat." All in good fun, I'm sure.
For the first album, Sundown rates high. Rank and File seem confident in banging out their newly-forged niche of rock and roll, and it should be interesting to see what they do next. I'm sure you'll never hear them on Q-FM96, but, who knows. a few years ago 1 wouldn't have believed I'd ever hear Clash or U2 on the audio idiot box.

Anyone who is not deaf has noticed radio stations are now playing a different kind of music on the airwaves. For those of you who like to follow the latest trends in society, you call this unique form "new wave." If you are one of us who isn't afraid to experiment with your lives without worrying about fitting in with society, then you have known this new sound to be simply "good music" for a long time now. This might come as quite a shock to some people, but "Combat Rock" is not the first Clash album, nor is U2 a new group. It's just that radio stations have finally wised up to the fact that Deep Purple and Robert Plant no longer belong on the airwaves. There's a new breed of musician around todayone that refuses to steal a riff from "Iron Man."
I feel sorry for guys like Mick Jones, The Edge, Stiv Bators, Nick Lowe, Richard Butler, Paul Weller, Tim Finn, Pete Shelley, Andy Partridge, and Chris Difford (quite a name dropper I am!), all bloody nice blokes who are now being lumped together with groups like Men at Work, Missing Persons, and After the Fire as "new wave" groups. The gentlemen from the Clash, U2, Lords of the New Church, Psychadelic Furs, Jam, Split Enz, Buzzcocks, XTC, and Squeeze have been perfecting their craft, more sincerely than financially, unlike the one-hit wonders who ditched their geetars for trendy synthesizers.
Radio has finally picked up on these bands that have been changing the direction of the music scene for several years now. But they are a little late.
Q-FM-96 began playing music with the "newer" sound last summer, and, by the way their ct-j's talk on the air, an outsider would think that the "new wave" explosion can be accreditted to Daddy Wags and his cohorts. Not in the least. If these guys are so hip, why then
- Did they start playing "Combat Rock" in July, when the album came out in late March?
- Did they begin playing Billy Idol's "White Wedding" just this term, when the album came out in the summer of '82?
- Do they play Rick Springfield's new leather bubblegum hit, "Affair of the Heart."

I realize these are trivial arguments, but it really burns me up when a QFM-96 jock boasts about playing some "new waver" when the group is already collecting Social Security checks. I give Q-FM-96 credit for finally opening their eyes to the music scene that's growing around them. rather than still spinning their worn copies of "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap."
What 1 would really like to see is a public apology by Q-FM-96 and then they can start all over again with a clean slate. Several years ago, during
those so-called "request hours," I'd call in to hear the Clash's "I'm So Bored with the U.S.A." or something from Graham Parker's "Squeezing Out Sparks," and would be laughed at by the d-j. Who's laughing now?
lf Q-FM-96 would do this eensy weensy thing for me, the promise to never bad-mouth them in print again. Fat chance! (That was not a slant on Daddy Wags.)

While I was taking an exam last term. I found it difficult to write for two hours on a right-handed desk in Towers Hall. Since I am left-handed, I began to realize all the obstacles the lefty has to face living in a righthanded world.
Approximately 12 percent of the U.S. population is left-handed, a figure that has increased IO percent since the 1930 s. (The main reason is because teachers in the U.S. stopped trying to make all children use their right hand.)
Even though that figure has increased, the number of obstacles facing a lefty has not decreased. A survey of left-handed people at Otterbein revealed desks are just the beginning of their handicaps. Standard notebooks (with the spiral on the left side), scissors, watches, and can openers also present problems.
One lefty responding to the survey complained about finding a place to sit at a table with right-handed people. Another student related one problem she had run into: the shoe salesman who brought out the right shoe when she took off her left.
Another lefty found simple things in life difficult, such as learning how to knit and crochet. This same student has often been accused of 'backwardness,' something which gave her problems growing up.
However, she thinks lefties are more creative, and she is proud to be one, an opinion also shared by most lefthanders surveyed at Otterbein.
According to Changing Times magazine, people who use their left hand to do everything are rare. Lefties, however, use their right hand much more often than right-handers use their left hand.
Lefties are well-represented in creative fields by famous people, and are also known for their musical and mathematical abilities.
Most of the lefties at Otterbein agree that being left-handed does have its disadvantages, but the chance to be in this unique group of individuals is worth the effort.

The selection of 1983-84 Host and Tour members has been delayedand for good reason.
A letter asking faculty and staff members to recommend students for
Host and Tour provoked greater response than expected, according to Dan Pohl, Admissions counselor and adviser of the group.
Pohl sent letters to those students who were recommended but had not previously applied for positions, congratulating them and asking them to
apply if interested. As of the April 29 deadline for applications, 35 more students applied for positions as tour guides, Pohl said.
Now, approximately 76 students have applied - causing the delay in the selection process, which includes interviewing each applicant.
"I'm really pleased with the number of faculty and staff recommendations, especially since this is a new thing," Pohl said.
Of the 93 new applicants, including 17 applicants from this year's staff, only 30 will be chosen for next year.
Pohl hopes to maintain a balance between old and new, and male and female members. He plans to finish the selection process by the eighth or ninth week of the term, when letters will be sent to all applicants stating whether they were selected.
Any student who applied for a position but has not yet been contacted about an interview, call Dan Pohl at ext. 250.
The decision will be difficult, Pohl noted, because "they are all super people."

William Windom brings James Thurber back to life on May 17, at 8:15 p.m. in Cowan Hall. Windom has appeared on stages in America and abroad in his one-man act "Thurber l" since 1972.
Windom is possibly best known for his Emmy A ward winning role as the lead in NBC-TV's I 969- 70 series, "My World and Welcome to It," based on the works of James Thurber.
James Thurber, played by Windom, was born in I 894, at 14 7 Parsons Avenue in Columbus, Ohio. His house, which is still standing, is one of many places in Columbus that houses Thurber's memory.
The Thurber Circle, which began in 1982, is working to raise money to restore a house on Jefferson A venue where Thurber's family once lived. This project will be completed for a future writer-in-residence.
Thurber, who was an essayist, short-story writer, humorist, cartoonist, and playwright, grew up in Columbus in a family that he portrays as accentric. Some of the funniest essays he wrote dealt with events in his childhood.
Thurber entered Ohio State University in 1913, then took off a year to read texts not included in the curriculum. He was refused by the Army, because of an eye injury which eventually lead to blindness, he worked for the State Department in Washington. He later returned to OSU and completed his studies in 1919.
Thurber started working in journalism in 1920. He worked for the Columbus Dispatch, Chicago Tribune, New
York Evening Post and The New Yorker. During Thurber's time on the staff, The New Yorker won great popularity and there is no doubt that he had a good deal to do with establishing the tone and style of the magazine.
Thurber's writings ranged widely in comedy and fantasy with somewhat of a different style. !n his prose he ap -
pears always to have started from the beginning and to have reached the end by way of the middle.
His drawings seemed to complement his writings. The seal in the bedroom, the dogs ofundeterminate breed and implacable serenity, the women whose slightest gestures betray their sexual tyranny have become legendary folk art.
In the late I940's Thurber's eyesight failed him so much that he was unable to keep up with his drawings, but much of his work had been completed enough to fixed patterns of mid-century comic art.
In addition to his portrayal of Thurber, Windom has appeared in many television leads such as on Star Trek and Night Gallery. His movie credits include "The Man," "Escape from the Planet of the Apes," "Fool's Parade," "Brewster McCloud" and "To Kill a Mockingbird."
Windom does four one-man shows-two on the works of James Thurber and two drawn from the columns of Ernie Pyle. When Windom is not performing, he lives with his wife and four children in California.

The Otterbein's men's tennis team wrapped up their regular season last Tuesday with an overall record of 9-3 going into the Ohio Athletic Tournament (OAC) this Friday,May 6 and Saturday, May 7 at Wooster.
The team finished their season with a win against Ashland College last Monday and a loss against top-ranked Wittenberg University last Tuesday. The team was rained out against Oberlin College last Saturday and the match will not be rescheduled.
The men's tennis team lost to Wittenberg 9-0 in their last conference match of the season. "Wittenberg has a very good team," said Otterbein men's tennis coach Tom Nelson. "They were strong throughout the whole match. They are one of the best teams in the conference and they were just better than us at each position," he said.
One good thing Nelson felt came out of the Wittenberg match was the doubles team of Dondi Pangalangan and Andy Sinclair. "They were really good in consistency even though they lost the match," said Nelson. Before the Wittenberg match last Tuesday, the two players their last won three doubles matches, according to Nelson.
The team won against Ashland College 5-4 in what was called a "really good match" by Nelson. "We got wins out of our most consistent players,"
WILL PICK UP AND DELIVER
said Nelson. He was referring to number three singles player Dan Morris, number five singles player Andy Sinclair, and number six singles player Dave Fox, and the doubles teams of Dondi Pangalangan and Andy Sinclair and Jeff Jones and Bob (Boomer) Phillips.
The team goes into the OAC tournament this weekend with a 6-2 conference record. "We're really looking forward to it," said Nelson. The men's tennis team placed 12 out of 14 teams last year and this year they are just looking to move up in their place this year, according to Nelson.
"We're not in a position to compete for the championship yet," said Nelson, "we're just going to try to beat some of the other teams."

"They all played outstanding, everyone." These were the words of women's tennis coach Joanne Tyler. describing her team's very impressive third-place finish at the Ohio State lnvitational Tennis Touroament.
The team got strong play from all positions, sending two singles players and two doubles teams into at least the semi-finals.
The women were led by senior Michelle Fox who reached the finals in the number one singles position. Fox was the number four seed in her bracket, and received a bye in the first round round. In the second round, Fox defeated the top player from Ohio Northern in straight sets. This win put her into the semi-finals, where she faced the number one seed from Oberlin. Although her opponent was coming off an undefeated season, Fox raised her game enough to defeat her and advanced to the finals.
Although the final was close. Fox was unable to handle the serve of her opponent, Gayle Goettman of Wittenberg. Goettman broke Fox's serve only twice in the match, but that was just enough to secure a 6-4. 6-4 victory, and the singles crown.
The number four player Cheryl Bone, was the number two seed by virtue of her outstanding regular season. After a first round bye, Cheryl defeated Sara Ramsbottom of Ohio Wesleyan in the second round before falling to Diane Hayes in the semis.
Other singles winners for the lady Cardinals were Wendy Miller, Amy Pangalangan and Rhonda Gerhart. Number two player Miller defeated a player from Baldwin-Wallace and was then defeated by Sangeeta Jhaveri of Oberlin in the second round. Pangalangan defeated Anna Pachan of Mount Union in the first round, but lost to Rebecca Haupt of Kenyon on her next match. Gerhart defeated Nicky Sharkey of Ohio Northern in the first round. She then lost to Tucky Peck of Ohio Wesleyan in the second round. Number five player Jo O'Connor was beaten by Susan Mazlowski of Ohio Northern in the first round.
Doubles was an even stronger spot for the ladies. Although the number three team of Gerhart and O'Connor was defeated in the first round, the number one and two teams played well enough to help the Cardinals to their third place finish.
The number one team of Fox and Miller were the fourth seeds. After a first round bye, the ladies defeated Obryan and Reingold of Dennison in the second round. In the semi-finals they were defeated by Goettman and Mysers of Wittenberg.
The biggest surprise of the tournament may have been the appearance in the finals of the number two doubles team of Bone and Pangalangan. Although they were unseeded. the women defeated their teams before losing the final to the team of Wiffenbach and Day from Wittenberg.
The overall tournament was won by Wittenberg, with Denison finishing second. Oberlin finished fourth behind the Cardinals.
Congratulations to Coach Tyler's team for an outstanding season and. their best tournament showing ever.
pitching skills as he lowers his E. R.A. to 2.19.
