Student trustees see meeting 'encouraging'
By Pam Clay
The Otterbein College Board of Trustees held their annual fall meeting this past weekend.
The meeting began Friday, November 5 and ended Saturday, November 6. Business presented before the trustees in committee meetings were the reconsideration of funding an Intercollegiate Soccer Team, the approval of the 1982-83 budget, the new admissions program to attract new students, raising the endowment program, and the renewal of the $ I 00,000 Trustee Challenge.
The new admissions program to attract potential students was presented by William Stahler, dean of admissions in the educational policies committee meeting. He presented his new program on how students are selected to come to Otterbein, according to Stemm. One of the main points of this new program is to improve retention before the students come here, said Cedargren.
ings. For the 28th consecutive year, Otterbein was operating in the black," according to Stemm.
Raising the endowment was another item brought to the trustees' attention. Otterbein, ranked seventh out of eight schools in the Ohio Conference schools in endowment compared to number one ranked Mount Union who receives 11.6 million of its funds in endowment. A tentative campaign was presented to the trustees by the Development and Public Relations Committee in an effort to raise Otterbein's endowment.
The $ I 00,000 Trustee Challenge was also renewed for this year. In a report by the Development and Public Relations Committee, as of October 31, 1982, the Otterbein Fund has received gifts totaling $382,484. According to the report. 2 I trustees have given $57,450 towards their pledges making the $ I 00,000 challenge.
"I was impressed and encouraged by what I saw and heard at this weekend's trustee meeting," said Greg Stemm, student trustee. "Everything was very positive at the trustee meeting," said Ted Cedargren, another student trustee.
The number of Otterbein scholars increased this year to 60 students from last year's 31 students, according to the report given by Stahler. The scholars are chosen on the basis of their ACT scores and their high school class ranking, according to Cedargren.
The 1982-83 final budget was approved by the trustees in Budget Control and Executive Committee meet -
A major point in this campaign entitled "Otterbein Tomorrow" is an attempt to get Otterbein benefactors to leave money to the school in their wills, life insurance policies, property, and stocks, according to Stemm.
There's still .time to transfer to Fla.
The Student Life Committee presented a resolution to reconsider funding an Intercollegiate Soccer Team. according to the minutes of the committee meeting. According to the minutes, the rationale for this proposal is ( 1) it would serve as a positive way to recruit both American and international students, (2) the funding is minimal for this sport, and (3) all other colleges in the Ohio Athletic Conference have intercollegiate soccer teams.
"Otterbein seems to be in sound shape and the board took some definite positive and upbeat steps to make sure it stays that way both in the short and long range view." said Stemm. "Everything was very fluid and professional at the trustee meeting." said Cedargren.
Other items on the trustees· agenda were a report on the status of building projects on the campus tions, anu tne guide mes or cert 111ca tes of appreciation by the Board of Trustees.
In the Business and Finance Committee meeting, John Wathen. director of the physical plant at Otterbein. gave a report on the status of building projects on the campus. According to the minutes of the meeting. Wathen reported the theatre department scene shop is finished, the library energy conservation plan is doing well. the rowers Hall renovations are almost completed, the observation deck on the top of the science building is completed. and the Rike Center roof re pairs are in the process of being completed.
Torch and Key inducts nine new members at Sunday night ceremony
By Jan Lininger
Torch and Key, a major Otterbein honorary, inducted nine new members last Sunday night in the Philomathean Room in Towers Hall.
The new members are: :Joy Grandstaff, Valerie Gruber, Belinda Harding, Mary Kindinger, Charlotte Latvala, David Lowry, Beverly Morales, Greg Stemm, and Walter Wolfe, according to Dr. Michael Hershler, professor of Life and Earth Science.
Members must have 120 or more credit hours and a grade point average of at least 3.5. Because of the number of hours needed, members are usually initiated at the end of their junior year or" the beginning of their senior year.
Faculty evaluations were discussed in the personnel committee meeting. The idea of the faculty evaluations is to let the department chairman work with a faculty member as a reference person in a self-evaluation. According to the minutes of the committee meeting, teaching must be considered a minimum of 50 percent of their evalu1tion with faculty members selecting other areas to be evaluated with a percentage basis for each area.
According to Hershler, funding for such a project comes from donations and the group hopes to build their $4600 treasury to $10,000 in order to create a new scholarship.
The evening began with the initiation in the Philomathean Room, followed by dinner at the home of President and Mrs. Kerr. All Torch and Key members and faculty were invited to the dinner.
With the new initiates to assist them, the old Torch and Key members are working on two major projects, Hershler said. First, at least one Otterbein student will receive $ I 00 from the Torch and Key fund. In order to be considered, the individual must have 120-150 credit hours, be in the 3. 9 grade point average division, and have a recommendation from his or her advisor.
Second, they are helping to restore the Philomathean Room To raise money for the restoration, donations were collected from faculty and Torch and Key alumni informed of the project.
Torch and Key officers are: Kim Collier, president; Phil H elsern, vice president; and Dr. Michael Hershler, secretary-treasurer. Dr. Harold Hancock is the advisor.
Guidelines for the certificate of appreciation from the Board of Trustees was proposed to the Student Life Committee. The Board of Trustees Certificate of Appreciation is eligible to any organization in good standing and is officially recognized by Otterbein College.
All organizations participating in projects deemed satisfactory and worthwhile will receive letters of commendation from the President of the campus according to the minutes of the meeting. From the projects commended by the President, the board will select certain outstanding organizations to receive the Certificate of Appreciation.
The Otterbein campus received its first touch of winter weather last Thursday night as the remainder of snow flurries linger on the windshields of student's cars. According to WOBN disc jockey Mark Holm, however, the weather today should be in the 60's with a slight chance of showers.
Once again, the food
It seems every year we run an editorial denouncing the food served at the Campus Center.
While the pros and cons of food quality this term are varied, our current concern is with the relationship between food service workers and students, and the way both groups perceive the food service's place in the Otterbein community.
At times the frustration levels between food service workers and students are intense.
Food service workers often put in long hours and make sincere efforts to meet student needs. They face being routinely bombarded with nasty comments from students about the food, cleanliness, the general decor of the dining hall, and a variety of other topics.
That may lead to treating students in a rude or arrogant manner, particularly in the last few minutes before meal closing time.
On the other hand, students face what they consider to be, at best, fair food (certainly not mom's or even McDonald's) on a daily basis. Food service workers often bear the brunt of this student frustration.
When a worker is rude or brisk with a student, the situation is intolerable to the student because he expects good service as a type of compensation for the lower quality food.
Both groups need to bear a few things in mind. The student does pay the food service worker's wages, which should entitle him a fair amount of consideration.
May I please have some more of uh well, whatever that stuff is?
Food service workers always need to be aware of the frustration outlined above and do their best to ease it. This may include smiling and being polite even when they feel like clobbering someone. Remember the old addage about the customer always being right.
Students need to be more considerate of the folks behind the • 1 • on e do es n't like shepherd's pie; they probably wouldn't eat it either. Students pay t heir wages, yes, but that doesn't give anyone the nght to physically or verbally abuse them. If someone has a complaint, the food service director is the one to see not the servers.
I can't understand why you chew gum it's not gum. at dinner. It's my ) potatoes \
The way our food service is perceived in the mind of students and workers can be a problem as well.
It would be difficult to use the analogy of a restaurant when looking at the food_ service. There are similarities such as having patrons, money bemg paid, and meals prepared for a group, but there are also some important differences such as limited entrees and the same daily customers.
In contrast, the food service can hardly be called a substitute for "mom's home-cooking" (pardon the chauvinism, if your dad cooks, fine).
Oh, those OC weekends!
So exactly what is the role of the food service?
It lies somewhere between restaurant and mom therefore attitudes between the two need to be developed.
Students can not expect to be treated or behave as they would in a fancy restaurant but they also need to remember the setting 1s a bit more public than your kitchen table at home.
We're sorry.
We must have been wrong when we ran the editorial "This sure isn't partytown" last week. Apparently it is.
We asked you to drop us a line and let us know what you think of weekends at Otterbein, but not one of you responded. That silence leads the "Tan and Cardinal" to one inescapable conclusion:
. Y ou all must have had so much to do last weekend that you didn' t have time to wnte even a line or two about what you think of Otterbein weekends.
Servers and other workers can not be expected to act as waiters and waitresses, and neither are they substitutes for mom (or dad). H owever, patient, polite dealings with the "patrons" of the food service means a more positive response from them in the future.
We see and deal with each other three times a day, every day, for most of the year. Being considerate of the problems of the other group will insure a more tolerable atmosphere of friendliness, rather than frustration.
We th ink th at's great.
It's always refreshing to discover things are better than you th ought they were. From your lack of response we must concur th at Otte_rbem and the Westerville area are not the social deserts we descnbed them as last week.
Often a small minority of people are the ones who complain the loudest. Obv10usly this must be the case in this situation. ·Smee no one wrote to complain, we assume everyone except a small group (who apparently can't write) is happy with weekends at Otterbein.
We would like to have heard from at -least one of those satis - fied people, defending the exciting, dynamic weekends at Otterbem, but we do understand the difficulty of breaking away from all the fun long enough to drop us a note.
Perhaps things will have calmed down some this weekend and you will find time to let us know what you've been up to during weekends this term. Your response doesn't have to be long-a paragraph or two would be fine.
Again, place your response in the box beside the "Tan and Cardinal" office on the second floor of Towers before 6:00 p.m on Tuesday, November 16.
We're looking forward to hearing from you.
Can you pass the admissions quiz? .
The quiz Admissions is looking at is
By Dave Eisnaugle
Apparently, Otterbein's Admissions department is currently looking into a new method of screening potential freshmen recruits.
The old screening method was this: if the recruit could correctly guess his or her middle initial, he would be able to hand over $7000 in tuition fees right then. The new method is a rigorous quiz which will predict the caliber of student these fresh, young pieces of meat will be.
a lengthy and probing one; one that separates the college student from the future gasoline attendant. The Admissions department has allowed me to publish several excerpts from the quiz, in order to stir up feedback, which will help in their decision to use it.

Dancing - you might think it's for the birds. Even so, Opus Zero made it "fly" in concert last Sunday evening.
Opus Zero, Otterbein's show choir, displayed their talent with a variety of tunes complemented with intricate -.. choreography.
In its fall concert, the group performed songs from the Big Band Era through the Top 40 hits of today. Opus Zero made the transitions from the Big Band sounds to the up-beat songs of the '80s look easy.
Opus Zero performed the tune "Can't Stop Dancin"' with some lively and energetic dance steps. Leaving them breathless, the group slid into a mellower ballad, "Comin' In And Out of Your Life." This number was performed with a delightful balance and blend of voices and was a perfect example of this group's versatility.
A sampling of the show's highlights includes a duet performed by junior Todd Regan and senior Juli Armentrout. The two paired up for the sensual ballad "Love Lift Us Up," from the movie "An Officer And A Gentleman."
Other talented solos came from sophomore Jay me Rone. Miss Rone displayed a little of her own spice and flavor in her solo, "Boy From New York City." She teasingly described her "boy from New York City" as the rest of the group backed her up with some "Ooh Wah's" and "Bee Bops".
Highlighting the solos was senior Tonya Patano. Miss Patano, assisted by alternates Jeff Kin, a freshman, and sophomore David DeCooman, performed a snazzy number, "All That Jazz "

Rushees journey to Greek Isles for in troduction
By Sandy Ramey
One hundred eighty Otterbein women have set sail for the Greek islands.
The Panhellenic Council, the gov•:! rning body of the five Otterbein sororities, presented "A Journey to t h e Greek Islands" last Wednesday, N o vember 3. The program helped introduc e the Greek system to freshman and transfer women, and upperclass women who have not previously gone through rush.
"Last year 140 women participated in the rush program," said Bob Gatti, advisor of fraternities and sororities at Otterbein This year's increase is especially remarkable, because women's enrollment is down," Gatti added Rush procedures were explai n ed through a skit written and performed by this year's nine rush counselors ( women chosen to guide rushees through the rush period). The skit featured scenes from open houses, novelty and final parties, preference s igning, and pledging.
Sunday, November 7, the women got a chance to visit each sorority and meet sorority members. "The open houses were very successful," Gatti s aid. "Approximately 75-80 percent of the women who attended Wednesday's meeti ng also participated Gatti noted that sorority rush started much earlier this year, beginning in the fall rather than winter. A larger number of rush counselors are also being used, and Gatti hopes this will help the rush program go smoother , as the women going through rush will have greater accessibility to their rush counselors.
The next stop on the journey will be a mandatory open house held the first week of winter term.
Bon voyage!

Academic standing monitored in _ senate proposal new
By Dave Kimmel
Otterbein College ma y change its method of monitoring academic standings in th e ne a r futur e , according to Dr. Willi a m T H a milt o n , D e an o f F a cult y.
Th e Aca demic C o un c il passed a prop osa l Thur sda y. Oct. 2 1. that if p as se d b y th e S e nat e. will r equir e s tudents t o maintain b o th a cumulative gradcpoint average ( GPA) o f at least 2 00 (C) and a fa v orabl e ratio of credit hours e arned t o c redit hour s attempte d. similar to the ratio used in the present sy stem
danger of being dismissed. According to Hamilton, summer school will be treated as a part of the spring quarter as far as academic standing is concerned.
Hamilton said the minimum GPA for freshmen is below 2.00 and, since there is no review after the winter quarter, freshmen have an entire academic year before they are subject to monitoring "The idea behind this is to give freshmen a year to get used to college ," said Hamilton Hamilton cited four main reasons for the change :
2) The new system will make it easier for the administration to monitor the students' progress toward their majors.
3) The switch to a GP A system will prevent someone from graduating from Otterbein with a GP A lower than 2.00, which is possible under the present system.
4) Most importantly. the new system will let students know they are in academic trouble sooner than the old system, and prevent wasting time and money if they are not
going to earn their degree.
"It is important to remember that it is a very small percentage of students that run into academic standing problems." Hamilton said, adding, "If we admit you to Otterbein, it is because we feel you can do Otterbein work, and most students do just fine "
The proposal is tentatively scheduled to go before the Senate at the fir st meeting of winter term and, if passed and approved by the Trustees, will g o into effect for all students entering school in the fal\ of \983.
Under the new system students after attempting 30 credit hours (two terms). will be reviewed at the end of each fall and spring quarter , and those below the minimum levels for cumulative GP A or hours earned will be in
I) The grade point system will be easier for students to folhw, because the grade reports sent out at the end of every term state the cumulative GPA, and students will know they are in trouble if that GPA is less than 2.00.
Graduates share careers
By Jan Lininger
An attorney and a psychologist represented two of the six occupations at the recent career forums. These people not only represented their fields, but also were Otterbein graduates. Each helped increase students' awareness of those careers.
Marlene Steiner-Suter , Director o f Career Planning and Placement Services, and teacher of the class, explained the graduates who participated in the forums were from fields of the most interest to students.
Becky Prince horn, class of 1978 explained her occupation as an attorney for Bricker and Eckler, and Nancy N orns, class of 1961, illustrated her typical day as a Vice-President of Public Relations at Durboraw and Associates.
William McFarren, class of 1973, a psychologist for Mound Builders Guidance Clinic, defined his occupat10n for the students. and an insurance salesman, Jim Laubie, class of 1972, explained what he does.
This year's fourth career forum was an exclusive accounting seminar. and was not organized through the career planning office. The Ohi o Society of Certified Public Accountants (C.P.A.'s) volunteered to conduct a panel discussion including accountants from six local firms.
One of the panel members was Chuck Cave, a 1981 Otterbein graduate presently employed at Norman. Jones, Coen, and Company
Two other graduates explained their professions in the popular fields of a ccounting and data processing. David Mead class of 1976 is a Vice-President and Tax Manager for the Huntington National Bank and Tim Konfal class of 1970 works' in the area of Research and Development ( Data Processing) for Bell Laboratories.
Last year was the first time career forums were conducted. Students were usually required to attend a program in their field of study.
Suter hopes to have more this year, with different fields than previously represented.
Involving Otterbein graduates was also a new idea. Last year's speakers graduated from schools other than Otterbein. "I think it adds that extra dimension," Suter said. She added that it makes the student realize what he or she can do after graduation.

You say you're looking for a job? Well if you think you're qualified, Major League Baseball is looking for a new figurehead.
Monday, the major league owners voted to retain Bowie Kuhn by a 7-5 vote, but since he needed 9 approvals, he's outa here.
This is a new experience for me, not to mention Bowie. I haven't seen a major sports commissioner fired that I can remember. I guess I never thought about it before. I just thought they died or something.
The question of the hour is what is Bowie going to do now that he isn't interfering with the national pastime?
All the tour guide positions are filled at the baseball hall of fame so that's out of the question.
He also will have to do without some things he has taken for granted, like reserved seats at all the ballparks all season long or the right to hand over the World Series trophy each October. He also won't have to worry about not interfering with any future strike talks, he was good at not getting involved
For the incoming commissioner there are certain criteria for the job.
First we have to understand that the
commissioner does not run baseball, he only thinks he does.
The first priority he needs if he wants the job is an ego. As with any job that pays this much, you have to believe that you're actually worth that much.
A crowd-pleaser, a commissioner needs to be a guy who can keep everyone happy. This isn't easy with 28 owners who don't give a damn about
anything, but full stadiums and television contracts.
A tad of ignorance also helps when looking for a commissioner. With all due respect to Mr. Kuhn, he must have been kinda punch, when he let free agents go nuts while canceling normal player trades because it would be "for the good of baseball," (i.e. the Oakland-Cincinnati trade with Vida Blue)
The last time baseball was faced
Cross Country close ups
with this situation was in l 969 when Kuhn replaced William Ecke r d , if he only knew what he was getting into. Well Bowie, good luck in whatever you do, l probably won't see you until everyone forgets you and they invite you back to throw out the first ball at an all-star game. For anyone who thinks they can handle this job. just send an application to Major Leage Baseball, New York, New York.
