Music .dept. on probation after late request for info
By Gregg Stemm
The Otterbein Department of music has been placed on probation following a late response to an informational request from the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) during their membership renewal process this summer.
Otterbein will remain on probation until the Association reviews the materials at its next meeting in November.
In a letter from NASM dated July 2, 1982 to Professor Morton Achter, chairman of the department it states:
"The Commission (NASM Commission on Undergraduate Studies) voted to place the institution on probation because of the college's failure to respond to the request of the Commission as stated in the NASM letter of June 26, 1981, and to a further reminder dated.April 8, 1982."
However, the letter also states the requested materials have now arrived and have been placed on the November meeting agenda:
"The institution shall remain on probation until the Commission meetings of November 1982. This action was. taken June 9-10, 1982 prior to receipt of materials in the National Office on July 2, 1982. These materials will be placed on the Commission agenda for November 1982."
According to Dr. Morton Achter chairman of the Department of Music, the NASM came to the school for its normal annual accreditation review visit in June 1981.
Following the visit, Achter said the Commission cited a few areas, such as ventilation and sound-proofing problems in the Battelle Fine Arts building and asked for a response from Otterbein as to possible remedies.
Achter said Otterbein delayed its response because many of the technicalities cited in the report were already in the process of repair and it was hoped would be totally corrected before the response was due in June 1982.
"We were late for a variety of reasons-partly because of hum;_in error, and I take some of the responsibility for that, but mainly we wanted to get our house in order before we responded," said Achter. ·
"There were delays in our response because we were hoping to have everything the Commission requested completed," said President Thomas J. Kerr, "at least one-half of the items they asked about in their report we were already working on."
"The probation status is really not related to anything Otterbein can't meet, its a procedural or administrative probation and I fully expect our response will be adequate to clean up any concerns the Commission might have," Kerr continued.
Samuel Hope, executive director of the NASM also felt the probation status should not be viewed with any great amount of concern by the Otterbein community.
"I don't know why they didn't respond, but we didn't put your institution on probation with the intent of damaging its reputation," said Hope, "I think it was a sin of ommission and it is pretty minor," he continued.
"The action seems to have been remedied by the materials which have been sent, but 1 can't tell you-its not up to me, the commission will decide and it hasn't met yet," said Hope.
Achter pointed out while membership with the NASM was desirable it
is not mandatory and such outstanding schools as Harvard and Stanford are not members of the organization. Achter also stated accreditation from NASM has no bearing on a student's employability and current music student were in no jeoparty of losing their accredited status.

First blast under law
The first big blast of the year, this weeks Sphinx-Owls blast, brings up an important point which the "Tan and Cardinal" feels should be explored.
This is the first year in which the freshman class, most of whom are 18-years-old, especially at the beginning of the year, are faced with the decision of attending a blast where they can not legally drink.
If you are a freshman who has recently experienced the frustration of Ohio's recent change to 19 and above for beer drinking law, we sympathize with you. The "Tan and Cardinal" has steadfastly expressed its disapproval of the law which we feel is discriminatory to the rights of the 18-year old as specified in the constitution of the United States. It is our opinion if an 18-year old is old enough to vote and be drafted for his country then he / she is old enough to accept the responsibility of drinking in a social setting.
Nevertheless, Ohio's law has been changed to allow only 19year olds to drink at the traditional blast functions.
The fraternities and sororities such as Sphinx and Owls realize their responsibility to stay within the law, and thus a valid I.D. will be required at the door and two separate stamps will be used for those who can and cannot legally drink at the blast.
This does not mean a freshman should not purchase a ticket to the blast this weekend or any other blast in the future.
The "Tan and Cardinal" fully recognizes the social worth ot a blast in integrating the freshmen into the social life of Otterbein College and what ever method you choose to avoid the ridiculous Ohio law mentioned in this editorial we encourage every freshman to attend this weekend's and every other weekend's blast.
Tickets for this weeks' blast are on sale at lunch and dinner in the Campus Center and also available at the door.
Outside the cocoon
The "Tan and Cardinal" usually tries to only cover the events which are most important to the Otterbein College community.
However, from time to time, the real world invades the cocoon we try to build around the "quite peaceful village" and the current economic situation is an example of just such an invasion.
For those of you who have not been following the national news scene, the economy is in one of its most confusing states in recent memory.
The stock market, which has been on a roll in the past few months, finally topped the I 000 mark this week, which on the surface might indicate the economy is finally recovering, and the typical Otterbein student might actually have a chance at having a job after graduation.
The "Tan and Cardinal"·is not so sure about such possibilities, however.
Concealed in the euphoria of the run-away bull stock market is the overwhelming unemployment rate which plagues the nation and Ohio in particular.
Last week the nation's unemployment figures showed an annual unemployment rate of 10.1 %. That's the highest since World War II. Ohio's unemployment rate was second in the nation at an unbelievable 12.4%. One has to wonder if the jobs are even available after graduation, not only plentiful. The "T &C" worries for those seniors who face the real world only eight months from now.
Patronize the T&C advertisers
As mentioned last week in the T &C Editorial Policy, 40% of our budget comes from the sale of advertisements and subscriptions. We have been fortunate this year not only to sell numerous ads, but also to convince our advertisers that running coupons with their ads would be effective.
As discovered in a poll taken last spring, Otterbein students requested more coupons and specials to be run in the T &C. The Tan & Cardinal advertisers have complied with these wishes. We would like to encourage you, as the T &C readers, to take advantage of this offer and use the coupons and discounts our advertisers provide.
Thanks to you •
Last week the "Tan and Cardinal" carried a front page story about the college Senate's discussion about the United Way campaign, presented by President Thomas J. Kerr IV.
We at the "Tan and Cardinal" also encourage you to participate in the annual campaign which benefits so many worthwhile agencies. The United Way is also an excellent way for the Otterbein community to reach out to the Westerville area and prove to them we are truly committed to the betterment of our area and not simply just part-time residents of the college.
The decision to participate in such a campaign represents more than just a minor tax deduction in a professors paycheck. It also represents the committment of the Otterbein faculty and administration to the betterment of mankind. We also encourage Otterbein students to participate in the campaign, for the services which are included in the United Way may very well be ones which we need in the future.
The "Tan and Cardinal" fully endorses and supports those who are committing Otterbein to the betterment of the fellow human beings which we are supposed to be trying to serve through our educational process.

New Dean working to improve student life
By Jan Lininger
After four years of"undergraduate" work at Otterbein, Bob Gatti has graduated to a bigger task.
Gatti's new title is Dean for Student Development, which involves the supervision of all student activities and residence hall life He will also retain his prior duties as advisor of fraternities , sororities, and director of summer conferences.
Gatti came to Otterbein in 1978, through a coincidental meeting of Joanne Van Sant, dean of students, at a convention in Kansas City. "She was looking for a head resident in Davis Hall and I was looking for a job," he said.
Gatti had never lived in a residence hall. His strengths were in fraternities and sororities, which he advised · at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
From 1978 to 1980, his title at Otterbein was Assistant Dean for Student Development/ Men. Gatti had only been married seven days when he and his wife Jackie moved into Davis Hall. Gatti says because his wife was understanding, they were able to make the move quickly.
·In 1980, Gatti became director of the Campus Center and student activities. He remained in that position for two years.
In August of 1982, Gatti began his current position. Ten years ago, Gatti did not see himself as a Dean for Student Development. "I thought I would be running a student union," said Gatti. He did not envision himself in this position so early in his career.
Where does he see himself in the future? "I don't really see myself as a dean or a vice-president in ten years," _ Gatti said. Not for lack of ambition, but because he enjoys the contact with students, and does not want to be removed from that aspect of his work.
Originally from western Pennsylvania, Gatti attended The University of South Carolina, where he received
an undergraduate degree in journalism. He earned his masters degree in student personnel and counseling from Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
In his spare time, Gatti enjoys playing golf and working in his garden, but mainly ''my hobby is my work," he said.
His wife Jackie -works as a farrier, often referred to as a blacksmith. She performs orthopedic work on horses, and drives to various area farms and horse barns. She first taught at Reynoldsburg High School, but was not enjoying her work. She took a career planning course here, and soon after decided to become a farrier.
Gatti has some goals he would like to accomplish in his position. In the residence halls, he wants to keep the lounges looking attractive. Purchase, rent, or refurnish the Jurniture are three options being considered to accomplish this. There is currently rented furniture in Engle Hall, and in Davis Hall the furniture is being refurnished.
Also, the weekend Ke-Wa-Pa crew, involving 10 students, has recently started working four hours each Saturday and Sunday. Gatti said the crew will be doing more thorough cleaning
such as shampooing rugs, steam cleaning the showers, and cleaning the stairwells in the residence halls.
In the fraternities and so_rorities, Gatti hopes to establish some acceptable standards for all the Greek organizations This involves having an "early warning system" for sororities and fraternities in trouble.
Gatti says he does not want to be surprised by a Greek organization suddenly having financial problems, low membership, low academics, or disruptive behavior problems. Such standards would concern service pro -
jects, act1v1t1es, committees, academics, and members.
An alumni advisory board is another goal Gatti has for the fraternities and sororities. The alumni would help not only financially, but would physically help the different chairmen, the treasurer, and give advice concerning recruiting techniques and pledge programs.
Gatti's superiors might want to keep a close eye on him. After all, if he continues his current pattern, he will be moving up again in 1984. President Gatti? Well could be.
Tuning in to WFOL will sharpen leadership skills
By Rose Shiplett
No, Otterbein does not have a new radio station.
The call letters WFOL that you might have seen around campus do not stand for Otterbein's newest radio station. The letters, which mean "W orkshop For Otterbein's Leaders," were chosen as the theme for this year's Fall leadership workshop.
This year's workshop will be held Sunday, October 31 from 2-6 p.m. and from 7-9 p.m. According to chairwoman Becky Smith, the one-day workshop will enable more students to participate.
According to Smith, three sessions are available every 40 minutes. This means participants can select one of the three sessions that interests them.
Smith said the workshop gives student participants a chance to evaluate and sharpen their leadership skills. The workshop also gives students some suggestions for using leadership skills in their particular organization.
Topics for the workshop include: "How To Sell Yourself," "Motivation," and "The Role Model." All sessions will be conducted by Otterbein faculty and students.
According to Smith, this is the r
fourth leadership workshop held at Otterbein. This year's workshop will be conducted at Spring Hollow Education Center in the Sharon Woods Park area, just off West Main Street. Smith encourages attendance from anyone "who wants to get their foot in the door to becoming a leader." For more information, contact Becky Smith in the Campus Center.

'Abelard and Heloise' a time tested love story
By Charlotte Latvala
Ed Vaughan thinks you should see "Abelard and Heloise," the play that will be presented in Cowan Hall over Homecoming Weekend.
Aside from the fact that he is directing the play, Vaughan offers plenty of reasons for Joe Otterbein to get out of the old jeans and Nikes, make the Jong trek to Cowan, and partake in some free culture.
Wait , you may be saying, I've never even heard of this play. And if you have , the knowledge that it's set in 12th century France probably has you reaching for the TV Guide to see who's on "Friday's" that week
a good opportunity for the actors." The tale of the star-crossed lovers Abelard and Heloise has a basis in fact, and is a well-known story, even if the play isn't quite as famous. Vaughan states that the play is aimed at everyone, and the goal of the performers is to communicate a love story that is "intellectually stimulating and aesthetically satisfying.

costume designers. A unit set ( one basic set) is going to be used since there are so many scenes that constructing separate ones would be impractical.
· The director notes there were particular details to pay attention to in preparing "Abelard and Heloise." It was a learning experience for the students to conduct "lots of research," that thatincluded visiting priests and nuns (to learn firsthand about the situations of their characters). The play poses a "problem for the actor because of the frame of reference," i.e., the 20th century actor must portray the emotions of a 12th century person convincingly.
Finally, Vaughan says, "I think there is plenty of action in the show; it is visually interesting, and the chemistry between Abelard and Heloise is appropriate and appealing." He likens it to a Medieval "Officer and a Gentleman" reminding us that the treatment of love and passion is a timeless topic Also, the play encompasses "issues of religion, philosophy, the nature of man, and entertainment," so you can surely relate to something after all those I.S. classes.
Not so fast! Director Vaughan stresses that this Jove story, although it takes place in Medieval France, is "just as appropriate" for today's audiences.
The play was selected because, simply , it is a "beautiful love story and
Peter Abelard was thought to be one of the greatest minds of the 12th century. He lectured and taught about the philosophy of reason. Although he technically wasn't a monk, he was committed to celibacy. Then, at the age of 37, he fell deeply in Jove with a 17-year-old girl, who was the niece of a powerful canon of the church
The play depicts their plight in flashback form, from their meeting to the end of their lives, within the "very structured framework" of ancient French life. Heloise's vengeful uncle
Technically, the play is a "major undertaking, as much work as a musical, or more," emphasizes Vaughan. There are twenty-four people in the show, as well as many technicians and

As she read this poem, she created an image the audience could see as well as grasp. In "Barometer," she compares herself to her sister who left her child as the child was growing up. Olds then questions whether she will leave her children as her sister did. At this point, Olds becomes uncertain about her future.
poetry has become stronger and her images have sharpened.
A crowd of 80 people gathered in the Battelle Fine Arts Center Tuesday, Oct. 5, to hear Sharon Olds recite her poetry. Olds read selections from both Satan Say s and from her book-inprogress, The Dead and the Living. Her most recent poems which she read from The Dead and the Living differ from those in. Satan Says. In Satan Says, she explores the roles of women, whereas in The Dead and the Living she dwells on images from the past as well as images of death. Olds does not seem as restricted to women's roles in these newer poems as she is in her older works Even the title of her book-in-progress, The Dead and the Living, voices this concern.
Her recent poems not only reflect her feelings of uncertainty towards her future but also the realization of death.
Sharon Olds' poetry has changed its emphasis from the traditional roles of women to the universal theme of uncertainty and death. However, this uncertainty is still presented in a feminine voice. By changing her theme, her

The students who accepted the nominations attended a training session last Monday and the board heard their first cases last week, Pembroke said.
When three of her older poems are compared to three of her newer ones, this changes becomes evident. "The Language of the Brag ," for example, is a poem that shows her pride in her feminity as she compares herself to Ginsberg and Whitman. She also examines the delightful antics of a small
In her poem "Winter After Your Death," she uses the image of a frozen pond to convey the feelings of a woman who has Jost her Jover. Her voice echoed the solemness of death. Death is also a theme in her poem, "Digging of Warsaw Trenches, 1949." The people in this poem dig trenches for the war, but in reality they are digging their own graves. This poem also affected the audience by reinacting scenes from the World War II. In "Poem for My Husband in the Event of My Death," Olds expresses her personal wishes for her husband to remarry and live his life happily without her.

ments council officers are: president Jill Sommer, vice-president Nancy Ray, and secretary/treasurer Susan Hammer.

try Championship meet to be held at Cleveland State next month.
Baldwin Wallace and Mount Union of the O.A.C. finished first and second with 51 and 70 points respectively. Otterbein finished fifth in the meet with 124 points. Further back in the team finishes, but still in the top I 0, were the Bishops of Ohio Wesleyan.
For the third time this season, Otterbein's Mark Burns, captured first place in the overall meet. Burns' time of 25:46, six seconds faster than last year on the Tri-State course, was good enough to earn him the first-place

finish.
The top seven Otters this week were Burns; Todd Corwin who finished 16th overall with a time of 26:55; Scott Alpeter, 29th in 27: I 8; Steve Rush, 33rd in 27:29; J.C. Church with a time of 28:03 finished 45th; Kevin Chambers was the sixth Otterbein runner in with a time of 28: 15 and was 58th overall, bringing in the seventh place for the Cardinals was Ray Bowman, who finished 60th with a time of 28 minutes and 17 seconds.
Burns commented on the Yellow Jackets of Baldwin Wallace, and the Purple Raiders of Mount Union, and
Otterbein's chances in defeating either team in future competitions. "At this time both teams look definitely stronger." The Cardinal's captain went on to say with Mount Union being a young team it's a good chance they, the Raiders, could fall off before the bigger meets.
Tomorrow Otterbein travels to the Delaware Country Club (on Route 23) to participate in the All-Ohio. The varsity team race begins at 3:30 p.m., and an open race follows at 4:30 p.m. Burns felt the teams favored in the meet will be Bowling Green, Miami, and Malone.
