Otterbein professor, Thomas R. Tegenkamp, is a member of a threeman team working on a procedure to aid infertile couples to have children.
The medical procedure they are working on, called low tubal ovum transfer, is an in vivo method of aiding fertility, as opposed to the in vitro or "Test Tube" method.
The procedure is applicable to women with damaged or absent fallopian tubes.
In the procedure, the eggs are removed by laparoscopy, which involves a small incision through the navel. This procedure circumvents the fallopian tubes and the eggs can then be fertilized through regular intercourse.
According to Tagenkamp, "It is a more natural method than in vitro fertilization where the egg and the sperm are united in a laboratory dish."
Because this procedure is more natural, it has been endorsed by the Catholic Church. The procedure, which is being performed at St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Dayton, needed to be approved by the Catholic
Church before it could be performed in a Catholic hospital, according to Tegenkamp. Because there is no genetic engineering involved in this procedure, "The Church found the method in accordance with its teachings because conception takes place in the uterus," he added.
Tegenkamp, who has been a member of the Otterbein faculty since 1962, has been associated with the genetics laboratory at St. Elizabeth's for eight years. As a member of the team, he will screen potential couples. "Through the screening we can discover if the possibility of genetic abnormalities exists," he added.
The other team members for the procedure are Dr. David S. McLaughlin, M.D., head of the medical team and Dr. Donald E. Troike, an embryologist and chairman of the biology department at Wilmington College.
Tagenkamp, who has written several articles on genetics, is an associate professor of life and earth sciences at Otterbein.

Otterbein is airing a homecoming special this weeke-nd entitled "Commercial Success."
As Otterbein prepares for its "Commercial" weekend, we would like to present you with a word from the sponsor. This week, we have put together a special 12 page homecoming issue, chock full of news about Greeks, theatre productions, homecoming, sports and much-more: So stay tuned!
Speaking of sponsors, we would like to thank all of the area Westerville merchants who helped make this special issue possible. We would also encourage you to patronize these sponsors this weekend and throughout the coming year.
Although the 'thank you's are too numerous to mention, we would like to salute all of the people who will help make this a truly successful "Commercial" weekend.
We would also like to welcome back all of the alumni. They play a very important part in sponsoring this commercial weekend. Without them, it wouldn't be a homecoming.
The theatre department will also play a special role in this weekend's commercial as they present their production of "Deathtrap:· Don't miss this murder-mystery thriller.
And of course, what is a homecoming without a football game? The Cardinals will face the Ohio Wesleyan Battling Bishops this weekend. Game time is 1:30 p.m. with pre-game starting at 1: 15 p.m. featuring the Otterbein Cardinal marching band. Good luck Cards!
As mentioned earlier, we can't begin to recognize everyone who has a role in this weekend's "Commercial." At any rate, homecoming is truly a community effort and regardless of your role in this weekend's commercial, it should be an award winning success.
This message has been brought to you by the members of the T&C staff.

Fall not only marks the beginning of football games and homecomings, but it also marks the kick-off of the annual United Way campaign drive.
This year, Otterbein is again participating in this worthwhile campaign that benefits thousands of people, some of whom are right here in the Columbus area. The goal for this year's campaign is $12,345.67
We would encourage all faculty and administrators to pledge support of this event. And students are by no means excluded from participating either. After all, the services provided through this campaign may very well be ones which we must utilize in the future.
The T&C supports and endorses those who give of their time, talents and money for the betterment of others.
Nuclear war is an issue most people would rather not thin k about.
However, a group of concerned people at Otterbein have organized a symposium to raise several issues regarding world nuclear activities and to present the implications of a possible nuclear war. (The story on the opposite page provides a detailed list of the activities.)
The symposium will confront participants with such issues as the nuclear arms race so they can then formulate informed decisions, according to Monty Bradley, coordinator of the symposium.
We believe that the issue of nuclear war and nuclear arms is one that needs to be addressed, especially at a liberal arts college such as Otterbein. In keeping with its tradition as a Christian liberal arts college, the need for the College to address the issue is long overdue.
With the advent of more and more nuclear arms being produced by the major powers, the issue becomes one of even greater importance. The possibility looms of total annihilation of all civilized life in a nuclear war.
Dr. Robert Place, a member of the committee and associate professor of chemistry at Otterbein expressed his belief that "Nuclear threat is probably the most imposing threat to mankind that has ever existed."
Although many people would rather ignore the issue, it is not something that should be taken lightly, or worse yet, ignored

Poet exposes simple beauty
By John Tetzloff
Jared Carter's tales of the midwest successfully opened the Otterbein Poetry Series Tuesday night before an overflow crowd in the Battelle Fine Arts Center.
Carter's poems are located in the semi-fictitious Mississinewa County, • in the heart of Indiana The setting and the country people he creates form the nucleus of his poetry.
Carter's poetry has been called sorrowful. He mourns the loss of his childhood, and the loss of the mid western culture to progress.
For instance, he read a series of poems about the building of a reservoir that forced the people of the town to abandon their homes.
Jared Carter
Yet he manages to avoid the pitfalls of being overly dismal. He is able to show us the beauty of the country, the simplicity of the culture, and make us feel that the loss of such things should be mourned.
DFX2: Stones Clones?
By Kevin Stafford
D FX2, a new band on the music scene, has just released its first album. It's an EP (extended play) called "Emotion".
I cannot say I think all that much of it. They seem to have some writing talent, but their production and style could definitely use some work. The title song has a good, solid rock base, but the vocals could be improved and the lead guitar shows little imagination or power. In fact , the guitar sounds almost exactly the same on every song.
There are, however, some notable songs on thi s album. "Maureen" shows an excellent sense of imagery in the lyrics and the bass playing is solid throughout. Also, the saxophone solo in the first s ong on the second side {I cannot tell you the title as I am working from a tape and simply do not know) gives it a pleasant Bruce Springstein feel that could have aided
a few of their other songs. This is the song that should have been the single rather than "Emotion."
EP's are not that common in the V .S. and it usually indicates that the record company is uncertain about the band and does not wish to risk the time and money involved in a full-length album. If so, D FX2 may do a nosedive if this album does not sell. That would be a shame, with a little time and some better guitar work, they could be very good. The music business needs bands that show promise. In any case, if you are in desperate need for a Stone's fix, and cannot find your copy of Hot Rocks, You can always give a listen to "Something's Always Happening to Me," which is so close to "Street Fighting Man" that D FX2 might want to engage a good lawyer, not to mention talking to George · Harrison about "My Sweet Lord."
Museum features Italy
By Charlotte Custis
In celebration of the annual Columbus Day event, the Columbus Museum of Art is' sponsoring a special exhibit entitled "Salute to Italy" through November 20.
Funded largely by a grant from Lazarus, this exhibit features examples of Venetian glass, Genoese furniture, painting and decorative arts, and a collection of paintings which trace the development of the Renaissance style and the start of the Baroque period through 400 years of Italian art.
In the collection of paintings entitled Italian Masters: 1400-1800, 400 years of Italian painting follow the growing importance of humanism and naturalism in religion, philosophy and art. In Bernardo Daddi's "Madonna and Child," (circa 1340) the staff, iconographic Byzantine style brought to Italy from Constantinople is seen.
One hundred years later, the flat gold background and austere, emotionless expressions are abandoned for depth and shading, fond expressions and human emotion. In "Adoration of the Christ Child" by an unknown student of Botticelli (ca. 1490), background and architectural detailing give a second dimension to the painting. In a later painting by Tintoretto entitled "The Mocking of Christ" (after 1570), the full impact of the Renaissance on Italian art is seen. The full, muscular figures (after Michelangelo) and the

use of dramatic lighting and positioning of the figures announces the total integration of naturalism and religious experience that so typifies Renaissance art. This great dramatic effect heralds the entrance of the Baroque a highly emotional, highly ornamented form of expression that gradually moves away from the religious to the secular
Another part of the exhibit is a collection of Venetian glass covering some 300 years of the craft. From delicate, blown chalices to glass-paste fruit compotes and "ice" glass (made by dipping hot blown glass in water), the secrets of Venetian glassmaking bring about an amazing assortment of sizes, shapes and styles of glassware.
The last part of the exhibit, entitled Reflections of Genoa's Golden Age, is a coJJection of paintings, .furniture, decorative art objects, and samples of Genoa's silk-weaving industry. Of particular interest are the earthenware pieces (called Maiolica) decorated in white and blue designs in imitation of Chinese po.rcelain, and the dual painted portraits of Amerigo Vespucci and Christopher Columbus. All three of these collections can be seen at the Columbus Museum of Art through November 20, 1983.

Dodrill noted part of the difficulty in the show's staging was having weapons and a series of deaths to plan out. This in itself was quite a challenge.
Most shows produced at Otterbein have at least five weeks of rehearsal, "Deathtrap" had four. However, Dodrill says having a fine cast allowed them to do a lot of exploration and have a generally good rehearsal period.
Sometimes rehearsal periods transcend the normal evening hours. Last Thursday was designated a theater workday. This was a project attempted last spring that has been deemed a. success. The whole department spends the day working in Cowan, finishing up loose ends and checking (and double checking) to make sure nothing has been neglected.

New field opens doors for soccer recruiting
By Scott Cavanagh
The Otterbein soccer program should have two major additions for the 1984 season; a new playing field and an influx of strong freshman talent.
Plans have already been made for the new field, which will be located behind the Rike Center.
The evaluation of the construction of the playing area should be finished by the end of October, according to soccer coach Steve Locker. If this deadline is met, work will begin immediately to clear the wooded area and prepare the soil for seeding. Locker is hopeful that the weather will stay warm so that seeding can be completed before the beginning of winter.
So far no plans have been made for a watering system, which is essential if the field is to be ready for the beginning of next season.
Locker plans to use the field for games only. Locker stated, "I would like to see the soccer field kept in the same type of condition as the football field, with the playing surface being as perfect as possible for games."
Although they are a financial impossibility for next year, Locker would eventually like to see lights installed on the field. "I think lights would be
a big plus," said Locker. "Night games could draw as many as 1,000 people, but due to work most people will not be able to attend day games."
Locker hopes to get the whole community involved in the program. He envisions local youth leagues playing pre-games before Otterbein games, with some of the kids perhaps serving as ballboys for the college games.
"This type of community involvement will be beneficial to everyone," said Locker. "These type of activities will be good for the younger kids because it will given them a chance to watch college games, and be involved with college players. It will also give Otterbein an advantage when it comes for these kids to choose the school they would like to play for."
This brings us to one of the main advantages of a new field - recruiting. The new field is Locker's ace in the hole when trying to recruit top talent.
Locker is presently in contact with 20 to 25 players. He expects that number to increase to 35 by November.
Although he is looking seriously at all players, Locker said that he will be happy to get half of the recruited players.
The recruiting is not limited to the Central Ohio area. Locker is currently talking with players from Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New York. He
hopes to have contact with students in the Dayton, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh areas in the next two weeks.
Locker was emphatic that he was not recruiting just anyone. He stated that he was going after "the very best players available." These prospects include two of the top scorers in the area, as well as many of the top defenders. Locker is also speaking with a 1982 graduate who was an All-Region goalkeeper.
Although the first year is always the toughest, Locker hopes to field a solid freshman class for next season, which will blend well with the returning players.
"I think the important thing is to establish a reputation," said Locker. "When you get players from a certain area, it gets the kids talking. He added, "If we can develop an interest and a respect for our program, we can expect solid recruits."
Locker believes the soccer programs in the Columbus area are improving rapidly, and have many players who could help this program.
"I am trying to recruit players from all over," he said, "but I really have to go with the local kids, they are the ones I am counting on."
With a solid recruiting year, and a new field to call home, the future looks OC Soccer coach Steve Locker very bright for O.C. soccer.

The Otterbein cross country team Heights. took a successful trip to Indiana last Scott Alpeter was the top finisher Saturday, taking fourth place at the for the Cards, taking 7th out of Tri-State invitational.

Freshman quarterback leads Cards offense
To be starting quarterback on a college football team is the dream of almost every young boy. To reach that goal as a freshman makes that dream all the greater.
That once-in-a-lifetime dream has happened here at Otterbein College for freshman Chris White.
White hails from Crooksville, Ohio, where he led his team to the state playoffs all three years he started. Obviously he had many offers to go elsewhere but chose Otterbein "I liked the location and felt that I had a better chance to play here than anywhere else," said White. He picked Otterbein over top programs like Dayton and Princeton.
He was also recruited by Capital. Ironically the Cards defeated Capital 31-3 and Chris was namedOAC player of the week for his performance." I was surprised to get the award, but I feel the offensive line deserved it too," added. Chris. "They made it easier for me to gain the yards."
White's statistics may not seem to
be the greatest in the world ( 113 yards of total offense per game), but having an injury - riddled line and playing against stiff competition such as Ohio Northern and nationally rated Adrian and Mt. Union would make even the best of them seem a little off.
Head coach Rich Seils commented on White as "a real competitive and very gutsy player. He has unusual poise for a freshman," said Seils. "He is a very intelligent player and can read defenses very well."
Intelligent? Well White certainly breaks the so-called "dumb jock theory." He graduated at the top of his senior class and is currently majoring in business.
When asked what he felt was the major difference between high school and college competition, White said, "Everyone is a step quicker and the hitting is more intense in college."
Well, if Chris White can keep a step quicker; he should give Otterbein College three more years of exciting football.

Cards 'turnover' to Bears, prepare for Wesleyan
By Bob Bland
The Otterbein football team had three turnovers that cost them all 21 points in their 21-3 loss at the hands of the Ohio Northern Polar Bears last Saturday in Ada, Ohio.
It looked to be a pretty good battle as both teams went to the lockerrooms at the half deadlocked 0-0. The only thing close to a score was a missed northern field goal midway through the second quarter. But the second half was a different story.
Ohio Northern first scored atter recovering an Otterbein fumble on the Cards' 14 yard line. Three plays later the Bears had a 7-0 lead. Northern
made it look like "deja vu" as it took them only two minutes to score their next touchdown after recovering another Cardinal fumble at the O.C. 32 yard line. The score at the end of three quarters was ONU 14 the Cardinals 0.
The Cards got on the board in the fourth quarter with a Dave Chilcote 33 yard field goal, making the score 14-3. But Northern put the game on ice with a 26 yard interception return for their third and final score of the game.
"We were not as ready emotionally to play the game as we were the previ•ous week," said Coach Rich Seils. The Cards fall to 0-1 in the OAC Blue Division and 1-4 overall. ONU goes to 1-0 and 3-2 respectively. This Saturday is Homecoming at.
Ottert as the Cards entertain the Ohio Wesleyan Battling Bishops in another OAC Blue Division game. The Bishops are winless in five tries but have come close in three of the attempts. The games include a 17-15 loss to Wooster, a 17-17 tie against Kenyon (a team that defeated Otterbein 10-0 earlier this season) and a 21-21 tie against Denison last Saturday.
Seils knows the Bishops will be "ready to play." Wesleyan hasn't defeated the Cardinals since 1975 in this longtime rivalry dating back to 1894. Seils says OWU is a very good defensive team and quarterback Jay Hood likes to throw the ball. Seils also feels ' his team must make the Bishops turnover the ball. Otterbein won the game last year 10-6.
