The College's proposed capital campaign to increase the endowment is proceeding as scheduled, despite the resignation of former Vice President of Public Relations and Development Frank Fite, according to Robert Fogal. director of de'velopment.
It was initially feared that Fite's resignation might interfere with or impede the progress of the campaign. which is expected to increase the endowment by $14 million. Fite, who was large ly responsible for organizing and imp lementing the campaign at its outset in July 1982, resigned effective Oct. 31 to become the Ohio State Univers ity's executive director of development.
Fogal, who is now - large ly responsible for direc t ing the campaign. said his prior involvement in the campaign made the transition in leadership niuch smoother. "Because of my involvement previously, there is a very high level of continuity." Fogal also noted that he has been instrumental in organizing behind-the-scenes work for the campaign.
In addition, Fogal said the development office initially sought the aid of a professionaI company to aid theCollege with the campaign. The company interviewed 45 people who represent a cross-section of Otterbei n constituencies to determine the feasibility of the coHege's endowment endeavor. This constituency was composed largely of alumni, trustees , United Methodist Church affiliates , corporate leaders in the Columbus area, and parents.
From these results, the participants expressed interest and support in four general areas of the endowme nt. These include: sc h o larship support; support of academic centers such as the humanities, arts and the natural sciences; support of endowed chairs; and the support of the College's general endowment, which includes operating costs.
Fogal said that many of the gifts come from peop le who have previous ly contributed to the College, but not in such large amounts. These peop le are already acq u ainted with the College and are more likely to donate even larger sums of money, Fogal said.
I n add itio n to sol ic itations from College constituencies, the College has also applied to the National Endowment fort he H umanities (NE H ) to obtain a cha ll e n ge grant. This grant would fund the d evelo p ment of the arts and humanities. The challenge grant is based on the premise that for each $3 the College raises, the NE H would chip in an additional $1.
The campaign has already raised over $3:4- million and that figure is expected to double by fall of 1984, according to Fogal. The cam p a ign is attempting to generate a mixture of gifts from alumni. friends and other College constituencies
The campaign seeks gifts such as securities, real estate and life income agreements in addition to cash donations Fogal also noted that "The largest gifts people make are deferred gifts," meaning these larger gifts are given from estates that coAtributors have willed to the College
Judicial cases decrease
Judicial bodies at Otcerbein have heard 57 percent fewer cases this term than last fall quarter· 20 cases as compared to 47.
Robert Gatti, dean of student development, feels there is no one reason for the decline. However, he noted that for the first time the operations of the Judicial Council and the Residence Hall Judicial Boards have been fully coordinated under his supervision. last year, each judicial body acted individually under the supervision of Joanne Vansant, vice president for s tudent development.
Mary Davenporl has become secretary for both bodies, providing the operation with continuity. Since Mrs. Davenport is also in charge of recording changes in judicial regulations, which are published in- the Campus Life Handbook, she is able to provide judicial officials with answers to procedural questions
Davenport said the newly combined judicial process seems to be running smoothly this year. "Defendants seem more cooperative this year," said , ories of tt I
Davenport. This may be the result of a new regulation, which reads, "Failure to appear before Judicial Council or a Residenc e Hall Board may result in further disciplinary action by the judicial body Repeated violations of failure to appear will result in immediate suspension or dismissal."
The Judicial Council hears cases concerning major violations (hazardous violations to civil laws) while the Residence Hall Boards hear minor violations (an act which is a nuisance or which disturbs the peace).
The 20 cases heard by the two bodies fall into the following categories : alcohol policy violations 7 visitation policy violations 6 disorderly conduct 3 miscellaneous 4
Gatti forsees less violations of alcohol on campus as a result of the defeat of state Issue One in last Tuesday's election. Gatti said if Issue One had passed, disallowing alcohol to anyone under the age of 21, some speakeasies woul d have appeared in campus housing

A quiet peaceful Christmas?
With roughly 40 days to go until Christmas morning, it looks like the city of Westerville is ready and waiting for the mad.dening holiday rush.
All one has to do is stroll down State Street to know Christmas is coming. Who could help but notice the colorful and imaginative white lights which so strikingly adorn each tree on the street?
The true spirit of Christmas is evident in store windows, as merchants construct new and innovative displays, designed to assist shoppers in the pursuit of indebtedness.
One would assume that Otterbein students would think little of Christmas while at school. With a six-week break beginning before Thanksgiving and ending well after New Years, the holiday season seems to be eliminated from the Otterbein calendar. But thanks to good old American commercialism, we can enjoy a little bit of Christmas now, a week before we sit down to Thanksgiving dinner.
Adopt-a-grandparent for X-mas
For most of us, the holidays are a time for having fun, reminiscing with old friends and new friends, and for being with our families. But for many of the elderly residents at the Mann Nursing Home, the holidays are an empty, lonely time.
Fortunately, it doesn't have to be that way: the people at Mann have begun an "Adopt-A-Grand parent" program which will give Otterbein students the opportunity to spread a little holiday cheer all through the year.
According to Jackie Cunningham, activities director at Mann, the program will let a student get to know one of the residents by writing to them, visiting them, or taking them out to dinner. The student would naturally be invited to any social activities at the home.
Cunningham said she is in the process of collecting the names of interested students, along with information about the students and where they will be over break.
Once she has all the information, Cunningham will match students and residents who share similar hobbies, interests, etc. • Cunningham stressed that the student's involvement need not be confined to the holidays. The student-resident match-up could last as long as both participants want.
College students like to complain about never having enough time, but think how it would feel to have months at a time with little or nothing to do. We urge you to cons.ider adopting a grandparent and sharing a little of your time a Mann resident. Anyone interested should contact CPB before December 5. (See related story on page 3.)

English faculty increases by two members
By Lisa Pettit
Associate Professor Marilyn Saveson and Assistant Professor Peg Levine bring to Otterbein's English department experience from years of teaching.
Saveson taught at Bloomsburg State College in Pennsylvania before coming to Otterbein. Saveson said that Bloomsburg is a larger school with about 6,000 students. Even though Saveson enjoyed teaching there she felt that it was too big.
Saveson taught a few courses this past summer at Otterbein but still considers herself quite new. She said, "I was so, happy when I finally got to teach here. I much prefer the small size and the fact that it is a private school."
Saveson enjoys the feeling of closeness that surrounds the College. "It is more of a community here. The faculty, administration and students are like one big family. They all work quite well together."
Dr. Marilyn Saveson
Saveson will be teaching an lnte-· grative Studies course and English 38 advanced composition next term. She will also teach LS. 27 which is Dialogue of Men and Women: Saveson said, "I love the LS. program. It is one of the things that attracted me to the school. I think that it is good for the students and the professors as well. It gives us a chance to branch out from our own department."
Mann Nursing Home has benefits for OC students
By Liz Tegzes
Otterbein students have passed Mann Nursing Home on West Home St. many times. Some have gone in to complete a psychology project. Sometimes one will see a resident sitting out front and maybe say 'hello'. Or perhaps some find the home depressing and choose not to think about it. But there are people there worth taking the time to meet.
Venus Mann was the originator of the Home about 40 years ago. The current administrator is Bruce Walker.
The licensing arm of the State Health Department refers to Mann as an "intermediate care facility" (!CF); that is, one without physical, speech, or occupational therapists on staff. "We try not to make it an institutionit's a home," said Erma Jenkins, an assistant to the Activities Director.
The facility houses 129 residents who are cared for by a staff of registered nurses and trained nurse aides. Each resident has his or her choice of physicians who come in for a monthly check up.
The building offers. the expected sterility of a hospital, but also possesses a very human quality. While touring the building, I saw a warm relationship between staff and residents as my guide greeted residents in the halls by name, with a friendly word or an embrace.
Thefirst floor is the living area for residents who are alert and fairly ,- - - - -
mobile, though some use wheelchairs. The second floor is for residents who require more care and supervision.
"The best part of living here is the associations," notes resident Florence young; others agree. Marie Gifford commented, "We're more like neighbors living here, but we're all still individuals."
Marie introduced me to Polly Beal, and we visited Marie's room The room was decorated with family pictures, small ornaments and mementos.
Both women are Westerville natives • and graduates of Otterbein. Marie graduated in 1981 with a degree in general studies. Her father was a professor of Latin and mathematics for many years when Otterbein was still a university.
Polly sat quietly, but not for lack of anything to say. She left Otterbein in order to work two years before Marie graduated. While at Otterbein, she studied piano. Now she indulges her love of music at Mann's weekly sing-along.
_"Enthusiasm is the secret to everythmg I do, even if it's just going up to lunch!" This is the wisdom of Florence Young, and it shows in her poetry. Florence has held three recitations of her inspirational poetry at Mann.
Willa Dickson is a writer as well. Willa's indomitable spirit is evident in her last piece of writing, "The Nursing Home Syndrome," an article
Levine
received her doctorate from Cambridge University in Cambridge, England.
Dr. Levine comes to Otterbein from the Ohio State University where she received her doctorate and has taught since 1971. While at O.S. U. she was a lecturer and a teaching associate in the English, Wome is Studies and Comparative Studies departments.
This is Levine's first term at Otterbein. She said. "I feel myself lucky to be here. 1 enjoy the overall atmosphere on campus; it has all of the qualities that I was looking for in a school. Otterbein is exactly where I wanted to work."
According to Levine the switch from O.S. U. to Otterbein was somewhat difficult but the location was a plus. Levine said. "I didn't have to leave all of my friends in Columbus."
Levine's style of teaching was not changed dramatically since coming to Otterbein. "I always tried to develop a close relationship with my students no matter what the size of the class. alth ough I do prefe"r the smaller sized classes at Otterbein. The practice has carried over 4uite easily."
Next term Levine will teach Integrative Studies 27 and English 15 Myth, Fantasy and Literature, along with conducting the writing clinics, "One thing I really enjoy is the opportunity to teach composition and literature at the same time," said Levine.
Several residents of the Mann Nursing Home are enjoying each other's company between daily activities.
for the Salvation Army's Newsletter, "Capital City's News."
Residents may participate in the daily activities planned and run by Activities Director, Jackie Cunningham. She and her "team," as she calls them Erma Jenkins and Marianne Merrick: both part-time assistants, are very -busy. ladies.
She explained the daily activities: arts and crafts, Bible study, exercise classes, bingo and movies.
She continued a list of some of the other activities: monthly birthday parties, "Meet to Eat" lunches at the We sterville Senior Citizen's Center and holiday celebrations. Mann also celebrates some of their own holidays, such as "Teacher's Day" for the retired teachers i.here. At least once a month Jackie tries to come up with something a little different. For example, in March, WBNS celebrities will visit
the Home for their Rock 'n Roll Jamboree in which residents "rock" in rocking chairs and "roll" in wheelchairs. The money residents raise through sponsors goes to the Arthritis Foundation.
Now, churches, community groups, scout troups and others volunteer their time, yet Cunningham hopes to better the reiationship between Mann and the community further. to involve the students from campus as well. She hopes a new program, "Adopt-AGrandparent," will do just that. She said the program would involve a match-up between a resident and a volunteer. Once the match is made, the " grandchild" is asked to visit with the adopted grandparent, coming in for a chat now and then, or perhaps writing. There is so much to be learned from senior citizens that it would be a great misfortune not to take the time to discover what is there.

OC Children's Theatre performs 'Heidi'
By.Tami Lange
There is an unspoken theatre ph ilosophy that the two worst things to work with in any production are small children and animals. The Otterbein College Theatre production of 'Heidi' hopes to dispel that belief.
The show opens to the public Friday and has a cast of 11 college students, 18 children, a goat, three kittens and a turtle.
'Heidi' is the story of an orphan girl who goes to the mountains to live with her grandfather, then is taken from him. The story tells of the new friends she makes, as well as her struggle to go back to the m ountai ns. College students appearing in the production include freshmen Charlotte Dougherty (Barbel the music teacher), Tim Gregory (Alm Uncle), Mary K uroff ( Brigitta), Dia H uekler (blind grandmother), Liana Peters (Tinette), and Jeff Offenberger (Sebastian). Sophomore cast members are Joanna Fabian (Dete), Linda Cole (Fraulein Rottenmeier), and Gary Scott (the minister). Junior Laura Stitt (Madame Sessmen) and senior Jim Harlow (Mr. Sessman) round out the cast of characters.
How do the cast members feel about the childre n and animals they work with'! "At first I didn't have a lot of contact with them," sai.d Cole. It was hard for her to get to know some of the viilage children because she is the villain of the show.
However, she noted eventually everyone got along fairly well. "l especially love working with Heidi and Clara." Cole said of the two young girls who play the leads.
Children will be children, and 'Heidi' is no exception. "Sometimes the kids don't know where they are not supposed to be. They play with props quite a lot," said Fabian. Unfortunate-

Devenney recital successful
By Dave Williams
Those who can-do, and those who can't, teach, an old adage again disproven, this time by music instructor David Devenney. Devenney. a tenor, gave a powerful and varied recital Friday in Battelle.
The program included a varied selection of pieces from the quicker paced "Five Greek Folk Songs" by Maurice Rauei to the slower selections of Franz Schubert.
Of particular interest was a selection of songs from Ambroise Thoma:... Before singing "Pie Jesu," "Souvenir." and "Baissez les yeux," De Yenney said, "This is possibly the tirst performance • of these songs in the United Statesthey are that unknown."
As my reviews of the past would prove, 1 generally favor the more upbeat selections of a performance. My pick of the evening was "Chanson de la Mariee by Ravel. Franz SchuberCs "Auf dem Wasser zu singer" also had a special appeal to me.
DeVenney was accompanied by pianist Morton Achter. chairman of the music department. Achter sailed through even the most difficult pieces with flawless precision. Schuberts' "W ohin?" and "Die Erlkonig" rank one and two on my list of favorite pieces of music from Friday's recital.
God's Work Needs You!
Mr. De Venney
The recital had a somewhat mediocre turnout. DeVenney was. however. accompanied by a member of the -audience: a crymg child in the back row. (Could a babysitting service be developed by the music department. with work study students being the babysitters?)
During a small reception following the recital, Devenney commented that small recitals are rather "enjoyable." He added that the music was chosen last summer for another recital but due to a change of plans he performed the selections for Friday night's recital.

Faculty forum provides support Upcoming
By .Jeff Gale
Unions at Otterbein? Probably not, but the Faculty Forum gives faculty members a chance to discuss any concerns or grievances they might have.
The Faculty Forum was started about IO years ago. It was organized to fill a void that was not covered by any other organization.
According to Dr. Mary Fonow. executive committee member of the forum, "I see it (Faculty Forum) as a forum to articulate faculty interest in the institution, to make sure that we are fully represented, that our needs are met and that we have some input into policy."
Anyone who is a member of the college faculty is automatically a member of the Faculty Forum. "It is an organization of faculty, and it's a place where they can say what is on their mind," said Fonow.
John Ludlum. chairman of the speech department, said, "General emphasis is on trying to improve the salaries and benefits for the faculty."
This concentration on salary and benefit strengthening is what leads many people to refer to the forum as a union.
But Fonow commented, "As a sociologist, unions are my area of research. and I don't see it as a union. It doesn't fit the classic definition. It is not a collective bargaining agent."
Dr. Joyce Karsko, acting chairperson for the forum agreed with Fonow in that the forum is not a union. It is designed to give faculty a way to air their grievances without feeling intimidated by the administration·.
Ludlum sees the forum differently, "If the faculty has a concern about salaries the only effective way for them to get together and collectively bargain is through the Faculty Forum."
Whether it should be defined as a union or not is not as important as how much influence the organization actually has.
This question of power leads to one of the most important topics the forum decided on two weeks ago. The faculty, because of budget cuts, agreed to ask for a five percent wage increase, rather than the eight percent that was originally agreed upon.
But what if Otterbein won't give the five percent increase? "I don't know: The group as a whole will have to decide that," said Fonow.
When Ludlum was asked the same question he replied, " Salaries are a concern on this campus, but I don't think it's the only thing the faculty are concerned with." He finished by saying he would worry about a wage freeze when it came about.
The Faculty Forum is open only to
New manager for WOBN
By Amy Cedargren
Stephen Buzza. a senior broadcasting major from Pittsburgh, Pa was named the new WOBN station manager Friday to replace Lee Anne Bookmyer, who will be on an internship with WNCl radio next term.
Buzza hopes to change the music format with regular rotation to progressive programming.
Buzza's plan involves programming consistency through a schedule of music classifications without variance from day to day. For example, he wants the news program always in the same time slot., as well as scheduling
when easy-listening. rock and top 40 music would be played.
Buzza wants to satisfy not only Otterbein College students, but also Westerville residents.
"It's everybody's radio station. I'd like feedback from everyon:e," he said.
The station manager supervises the student staff, runs the meetings, and coordinates staff positions. according to John Buckles speech instructor and WOBN adviser. ,
Buzza, a four-year veteran· of WOBN and former sports director is eager to utilize the talent he feels WOBN has.
faculty members. However. they will often invite administrators to discuss problems and possible new programs.
Other topics discussed at last week's Faculty Forum meeting included recognizing the faculty from the English as a Second Language program as members of the forum. They also agreed to support the new development campaign.
The Faculty Forum will meet today at 4 p.m. in T-251. Donald Bulthaup, vice-president for academic affairs, has asked to speak to the forum about "Higher Education in Central Ohio and Otterbein in particular."
Karsko finished by saying, "The Faculty Forum and executive committees are open to every faculty member. We encourage more people to come and give their input on issues affecting them."
