,'High S flool Day' produces criticism
Reporting for this article was done by the editorial staff of the Tary and Cardinal. It was written by Dan Hughes.
Problems encountered during this year's High School Day may necessitate changes in planning for the event next year, according to Max Bonek, assistant dean of admissions and records.
High School Day is a recruiting tool used b� the school to familiarize prospective students, high school counselors, and selected clergy from around the siate, with the camplls and its academic departments.
Bonek called the event a success, but conceded that the admissions department will review the planning process used this year.
•nThe written agenda of events, which was distributed to those attending, was the subject of most of the criticism leveled by faculty and staff members in attendance. Bonek's decision not to attend also drew criticism.
According to Bonek, Dean of Academic Affairs Donald Bulthaup and
Dean of Admissions Morris Briggs notified him that they felt he had "showed a lack of judgment in not attending." Banek labeled the reason for his decision not to attend "personal," and declined further comment on it.
Band Director Gary Tirey expressed concern over Bonek's absence, the appearance of the agenda, and late notification of some members of · faculty about their scheduled appear. ances at the event. "How we are perceived is tied i n1 witb this," Tirey said. He pointed out that impressions made upon counselors and clergy would be passed on when they return home.
Director of Development DonHines felt there was a need for more tou·r guides to greet guests and assist with registration.
Dr. James Bailey, chairman of. the English Department, was among those who leveled criticism at the agenda for containing mispelled words and sentence fragments. Bailey expressed embarrassment over the mistakes,

saying, "It looks like the students or staff can't write."
Bopek conceded that the quality of the agenda wasn't "up to par. The criticism is valid. The fault lies with me. It was my responsibility to oversee the people running the program," he said.
The program was planned and directed by Michelle Burns, a pub!ic relations practicum student, and Kaye Stith, a public relations intern. "I felt that I had more than enough to do, so I made the decision to include the practicum students," Bonek said. Burns was given the assignment at the end of the 1980-81 school year and began work when school opened in September. Stith was assigned to the project during the summer and began work in August.•
Burns said a large amount of work went into organizing the event, including reserving space and facilities in the Campus Center and other buildings, contacting department heads and other faculty members, coordinating the schedule for the event and ·con-
tacting prospective hi-gh school students, counselors, and clergy.
"There was a lot of busy-work," . said Burns. "We had to call half of the people we contacted because they did not answer our letters. A lot of the organizing was just trying to get people to the right place at the right time."
Burns, currently in her first term as a public relations major, had no previous experience in coordinating an event of this �ize. "It was a big responsibility," she said. "I felt I did a pretty good job. I had some good help. Kaye Stith was really a great help."
"We had originally expected ap- r proximately 75 students," Burns explained. "That figure was nearly doubled. Basically, though. I thought the day went smoothly."
Bonek agreed, saying "Overall the program was a success." He added that the program will be reviewed. "We're looking for a better way to do it. This experience has indicated that we need to start earlier."
Ho-mecoming Events
The I 981 Homecoming Queen will be announced this evening on WOBN. WOBN will be playing the favorite song of each candidate, followed by the announcement of who was selected as Queen in Monday and Tuesday's elections. WOBN is located at 91.5 on the FM dial.
A reminder to all groups enterjng a float in the parade: floats must assemble in front of Toledo Scale, which is located in the industrial park just west of Alum Creek Park on Main Street, no later than 9 a.m. The floats will be judged during the parade rather than beforehand as in previous years. Prizes will be awarded in Creativity and Originality, Best Exemplifies Parade Theme, and Best Overall. Judges will include Otterbein alumni who live in the Westerville area. The ·nparade begins at 10 a.m.n
The parade route for the Homecoming Day parade will be as follows:n The parade will form on Main Streetn
and in the industrial park, from there it will proceed east on Main Street past the library to the corner of State Street. From here it will move through uptown Westerville to Home Street, where it will turn and move west past the Campus 'Center, turning again onto Grove Street. It will then disband at the library.
A reminder to everyone attending Otterbein's Homecoming that the Ohio State University is also holding Homecoming Day activities and there will be increased traffic in the Columbus area. Restaurants and motel and h-otel accommodations may be strained due to the vast number of Ohio Staten �lumni and friends in the greatern Columbus area.n
The Campus Programming Board will be sponsoring the Homecoming Dance. The dance is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. in the Campus Center. The dance is open to students, faculty, administrators, parents and alumni. It is scheduled to be semi-formal.

As the Otterbein College homecoming weekend approaches and many alumni are returning to the campusfor thefestivities, Dr. Harold Hancockreflectson the Otterbein of yearspast.
Hancock,chair.man ofthehistory andpolitical science department, has served longer on the cu�rent faculty thanany other full professor. He has written books on the history of the state of Delaware, hisbirthplace, the city of Westerville and Otterbein College. Hancock is regarded by manyasthefor�mostauthorityonthe historyofOtterbein College.

According to Hancock, the most intriguing building on the campus was Lambert Hall, the Fine Arts Building. "RumorsaidthaLthearchitectwhoplanned Lambertwasplaced in a mental institution.

In 1944, the only dormitories were King Hall, for freshmen girls, and Cochran Hall,builtin I905forupper classwomen, he continued. The "new gym"(now Battelle)builtin1929providedfacilitiesformen'sathletics.The theatre facilities were so poor, heexplained, thatthe Hanby High School auditoriumwasusedforcollegeplays.
Professor Hancock noted that several changes in campus life occurred during World War II. Theenrollment was only 350 students in 1944-300 girls and 50 men. The absence of so many men curtailed soGial life. The fraternities were either closed or very small.
Also during the war, the Tan and Cardinal, thestudentnewspaper,had women editors,thehistorianrecalled. The Sybil also had womenmanaging it while the menwere atwar.
"OnecouldgotoOtterbeinCollege for charges of $600 to $700-room, board and tuition for the year-in 1944," Hancock stated. "Faculty salaries·were low-the highest salary regardless ofexperienceanddegreetopsalary$3,0Q0-minewas$2,400as anassistant professor."
