OC budget cut by half million
By Rose Shiplett
Otterbein's newly revised 1983-84 budget has been trimmed by approximately $500,000 due to a drop in total expected revenues, according to Woodrow Macke, vice president of business affairs and business manager.
The revised budget, which has already been approved by the college budget subcommittee and the administrative council, now awaits the approval of the Board of Trustees, who meet this weekend.
The 1983-84 budget was drawn up last spring when total revenues for the upcoming year were expected to be $11,745,000.
This figure was based in part on the expectation that I, 120 full time students would attend Otterbein this year. In addition, this figure was also based on a 12 percent tuition increase.
However, total full-time student enrollment dropped by 90 students this year, thus, decreasing the college's expected revenues from tuition.
The revised 1983-84 budget based on a total enrollment of 1,033 full-time students, now predicts total revenues of $11,160,781. This is $584,219 less in revenues than was projected last year, according to Macke.
Last Monday, Macke presented the administrative council with the following list of priorities for eliminating this total from the budget:
I. Eliminate the proposed systems analyst / programmer position for this year.
2. The library cataloguer position would be reduced to a half-time position this year.
3. Eliminate costs from the budget associated with positions that have been or will be vacant for part of the year.
Macke
4. Eliminate plan· maintenance (service department) contracts originally approved but not yet completed.
5. Eliminate from the budget all capital cost projects not already committed.
6. Cut all supply budgets (and related line items) by three percent.
7. Cut all non-work study student wage budgets by five percent.
8. Reduce the costs for the operation of King Hall.
9. Reduce costs for the food service contract due to lower enrollment.
IO. Reduce the deposits made to the college's debt reserve.
11. No funds will be deposited in the "A" fund, the college's emergency cash fund.
12. Several equipment items will be purchased with designated gifts.
False alarm sparks confusion
By Dave Williams
"The residents of Mayne Hall were awakened Saturday morning at 9:30 by a fire alarm only to find that security was testing or demonstrating the system," according to Don Miller, hall director.
Miller states that he was not informed that the alarm would be set off. Apparently, no one was informed. The switch board operator following normal procedure, alerted the Westerville fire department of the alarm. Consequently a fire truck and emergency squad were sent to Mayne. "The firemen sounded a little upset" according to Miller.
Miller said that "the security people were trying to show a new guy how the system worked or they were testing it. But, it wouldn't make sense to test the alarm since we had an alarm set off last week," he added.
The alarm systems are required to be checked once a month if they have not been set off according to Miller. Residents' reactions were all basically the same. First floor resident assistant. Jerry Thaman said, "Why aid it have to be at 9:30 on a Saturday morning? I could understand them doi ng it later in the day."
Junior, Dave Kimmel stated "the thing went off just long enough to get me out of bed."
The question in many residents minds is "do we have to pay for this?" Miller assures that the Mayne Hall residents will not be billed.
Bob Gatti, dean for student development, also stated "the residents will definitely not be billed for the alarm." He added, "It will be absorbed by either the (security) department or the college or there may be no fine at all."

13. Most equipment. purchases which have not already been ordered, have been removed from the budget, including requests for new vehicles.
14. Costs related to the endowment campaign will be shifted from the current fund to the campaign costs.
15. The Administrative staff of the English as a second language program will be assigned to additional parttime teaching positions.
16. The college will also impose stricter control on the number of overtime hours.
17. Allowances for publications will be reduced.
18. The college will also impose stricter control on computer time costs.
Macke noted this was the "biggest single budget cut" ever made in terms of actual cash dollars. Even so, he added that the college has experienced more severe economic hardships during the depression and even later during the war.

Symposium saga continues
Those of you who are still hibernating from the threat of a nuclear war can come out now. The nuclear symposium is over with well, not quite.
In last week's issue of the T&C, we solicited responses from members of the Otterbein community concerning the symposium conducted last week. We promised publication of at least some or part of these responses. We received several responses, the details of which are explored later.
We would like to also point out that the T&C has freely acted as a forum for the issues and reactions generated from the symposium. However, the viewpoints presented in these reactions do not necessarily reflect the views of the T&C staff.
One response, written by Dr. Robert Place, associate professor of chemistry and symposium participant, focuses on the individual and what he/ she can do about the nuclear arms dilemma. (See p. 3)
Brian Driver, a junior, surveyed several faculty, staff and students as to why they did or did not attend the symposium. (See p. 2 above)
Finally, junior John Tetzloff and senior Barbara Burdick wrote an overview of the week's events. (See p. 3)
We would like to note that the symposium was practically an issue in and of itself, as displayed by the number of diversified responses we received. The symposium presented some radical views for a supposedly conservative campus. We now challenge the campus community to respond to these proposals in the months to come.

Many of the students that attended went to more than one event. Said one student, "Once you go to an event, you want to go back." More than half of the students that attended did so because they were required to by their professors.
The students that attended had mixed feelings on its impact. Most had already formed an opinion on the issue before they went, so the symposium was most effective to those students who hadn't seriously thought about the issue. Frank Irion, who
attended several of the events said that the symposium has "opened my eyes to do something about the problem." Karen Slade, after viewing the movie, "The Last Epidemic," remarked that it was made more horrifying because "I knew it was real."
Most people were hesitant about getting involved with further events, such as demonstrations, concerning this issue. Tom Sharpe said, "We're just students. Only our leaders can
make those kinds of decisions." Concerning demonstrations, Karen Slade said, "I wouldn't be hauled off in a paddy wagon." Dr. Recob remarked that "it would depend on the event, but I would be open to further involvement."
Chaplain Monty Bradley, coordinator of the symposium, estimated between 500 and 1,000 people attended the events. This figure represents a total of all the people present at each event, and includes those who attended three or four events and those who were required to go.
A few people who did not attend were either disinterested in the issue or didn't want to hear any more about it. According to Valerie Gruber, many of her friends did not want to hear about the nuclear arms issue again. Ruth Gerstner, director of publications said, If I'm going to be blown up I'd just as soon not know about it."
Another student said of the symposium, "What is that, a discussion or something?"

Nuclear symposium raises serious questions
Nuclear dilemma reviewed
By Barbara Burdick and John Tetzloff
During a week in which the United States made final preparations for deploying 572 nuclear missles in Western Europe, the Otterbein community learned about the issue of nuclear weapons. The Symposium consisted of debates, workshops and films.
In a debate on Wednesday, October I9, two graduate associates from the Mershon Center at Ohio State University, Welling Hall and Bruce Nordulli, proposed opposite nuclear arms strategies for the United States government.
Hall presented the theory of MAD, or mutually assured destruction. This proposal would maximize deterrence by arming ourselves in direct proportion with the Soviet Union The MAD theory demonstrates that if any nuclear war were to break out it would disrupt national lines of communica -
tions, break-down leadership, and interrupt the decision-making process, thus eliminating the possibility of negotiations to end a war.
Bruce Nardulli proposed an opposite view to MAD, expressing that the cost of MAD is "national suicide." Nardulli stressed the counterforce objective that the destruction and killing caused by a nuclear attack could be limited. Nardulli believes that each attack would carry a deterrence. The death of twenty million people would demonstrate to the opponent the multitude of the problem and not strike back.
A third speaker on campus was Father Ron Voss. Father Voss, director of the Center for Peace and Life Studies near Muncie, Indiana, stressed the "sacredness of human life" during his participation in the Symposium. "We've got to start talking," said Voss "The days of thinking national -
Professor faces nuclear facts
By Dr. Robert Place, Assoc. Prof. of Chemistry
After the Uranium atom was successfully split in 1942, Albert Einstein, the premier theoretical scientist of the 20th century , said, "the splitting of the atom has changed everything except our way of thinking." He knew it would be a difficult task, but we had to change our thinking and problem solving mechanisms to help humankind survive the threat created by the tremendous energy released by the splitting apart (fissioning) of atoms of uranium.
The unparalleled destructive force of the Russian and U.S. nuclear arsenals utilize the very fusion process by which our sun provides us our warmth to sustain life. However, our human-made instant suns threaten us with instant cremation or a slow agonizing death, either from radiation or from starvation resulting from a collapsed ecosystem which would no longer be able to support us. We must change our way of thinking regarding how we value life and use our own precious time on this fantastic planet, Earth. Each person has something in common with every other human - the threat of instant extinction and the need for survival. We are all in the same fragile boat.
We must work steadily toward a negotiated, balanced and verifiable reduction of nuclear arms. Can we do it? I am totally convinced we can and I want to share from my own experiences during and before the nuclear symposium, last week. We must produce better plans for human survival through love and interdependency, the way we were meant to live. We have no choice.
First just a few facts!
I. No one can win a nuclear war in any meaningful social sense of the word.
Dr. Robert Place
2. It is surely a myth that a first strike might prevent either opponent from launching a devastating counterattack. It only takes one minute of warning to retaliate in force. Besides a first strike by either party would be devastating to the attacker even if no counter attack occurred. It would cause a massive loss of our protective ozone layer. Results would be unimaginable dangers of fatal sunburn for years and ecological collapse at least in the northern hemisphere.
3. There is no magic technology to help either side win. Each new technological hope has led to new escalation and new dangers. Computers, lasers and other new weapons have helped temporarily in certain ways, but they always create new unforeseen problems and counter-measures.
4. A balance in nuclear and other military technology is vital. Too great an imbalance will cause the weaker party to launch a first strike with far less provocation. They will fear prematurely losing their weapons. Becoming too strong and weakening your opponent can actually cause the holocaust.
5. It will be very difficult to keep a limited war (which in itself would be unimaginably devastating) from escalating into a total nuclear exchange.
istically are over." He cited the success of such figures as Ghandi and Martin Luther King in using peaceful, dialogue in solving problems.
Appalled by the strategies of Hall and Nardulli concerning nuclear arms, Yoss advised personal involvement. He said people should write to their representatives, join peace organizations and participate in protests. "It may come down to breaking the law," said Yoss.
Don Eaton, a folk singer from Oregon who has been nominated to the 1983-84 Outstanding Young Men in America, focused on the issues of war and peace through music and discussion.
Eaton said that the United States "needs to stop acting like an adversary of Russia. He said that the Russians have good reason to be paranoid with all the bombs aimed at them by NATO, U.S. submarines and China.
Several movies were shown during the Symposium. One movie, "If You Love This Planet," talked about the destructive powers of a nuclear war.
The documentary which was labeled as propaganda before it won an Academy A ward reported that a nuclear war would destroy 90 percent of the U.S. population, as well as almost all of the nation's industrial and military installations.
In addition, the movie said that about half of the earth's ozone layer would be destroyed - more than enough to make the surface of the earth uninhabitable to human beings.
The movie "If You Love This Planet" claimed that the danger of nuclear war will be heightened by the deployment of cruise missiles in Western Europe. Such weapons so close to Russia would leave the Soviets only minutes to react to an attack, and very little time to verify attacks. The movie pointed out that the U.S. has made mistakes in the past, but had time to correct them.
The Symposium of the Dilemma of Nuclear Arms closed with a worship service with the theme "The Quest for Peace."
Recruiters seek recruits
6. Man is notoriously bad at making predictions. Before we did it, most experts said we couldn't put a man on the moon. After the energy crisis of I 973, dire predictions of our inability to meet future energy needs in our country were severely overstated. Predictions are always based on past trends and cannot account for breakthroughs in technology and changes in political climate.
7. A reallocation of a small portion of weaponry money could do much to alleviate the personal suffering that causes nations to fight each other. Otherwise small conventional wars will become more and more common. What Can Each of Us Do?
I. Start at home by living more loving and caring lives with family, neighbors and communities. Big wars between nations have their roots in little wars between individuals.
2. Learn more about Russia: that Russia and Russians ·have suffered incredibly from many wars; that only 9% belong to the communist party; that they feel surrounded by threatening adversaries, and that these leaders must be listened to very cautiously but honestly and openly.
3. Push for more effective communication verification systems with Russian leaders so that a war doesn't happen by accident.
4. Encourage development of a peace academy so that we can learn how to wage peace as well as war.
5. Read and learn more about nuclear issues.
6. Speak out and write your beliefs and ideas to friends, public officials and the media.
7. Develop or expand academic courses to explore war, peace and nuclear issues.
8. Work for the economic and educational well being of all world people, gradually eliminating hate and injustice which are the basic causes for wars.
By Bernadine Edwards
Too few students are participating in the on-campus recruiting, and campus recruiters are reluctant to schedule interviews, according to Marlene Suter, Director of Career Development.
Suter said about 42 recruiters, representing government, social services, business and accounting, education, industries, and graduate schools, recruit each year at Otterbein. Each recruiter would like at least 12 applicants to interview. On a recent recruitment day, JO students came from Ohio Wesleyan while only two Otterbein students signed up for the accounting firm recruiting interviews.
Suter cited the size of the accounting classes as a reason for the small number of participants, but a failure to plan ahead accounts for the majority of non-participants.
The Career Development Recruiting Schedule shows the following firms interviewing in the remaining dates of the fall quarter: Oct. 27 Arthur Anderson
Oct. 28 Sister's International OSU School of Public Adm.
Nov. 3 Capital Law School
Nov. 4 Indiana State University Graduate School
Nov. 10 Ernst & Whinney
Nov. 18 Coopers & Lybrand
What are campus recruiters looking for?
"Accounting firms tend to look for good grades in accounting majors, while sales firms are looking more for personality. Besides specific academic background, recruiters are looking for students who can converse and correspond intelligibly," Suter said.
Interested students should sign-up in the Career Development Center, Towers Hall, 105, Ext. 456.

'Under Fire' to sizzle box office
By Bill Harnsberger
The fall films are still trickling out, and the ratio between the good and the bad is about 50-50 so far.
'Under Fire', starring Nick Nolte as a photo-journalist in the midst of the 1979 revolt against the Somoza regime in Nicaragua, is a powerful film in most respects. Nolte plays Russel Price, whose photographs are featured in the likes of 'Time' magazine.
Price is sent from Chad, Africa, to Nicaragua, where he meets up with Alex Grazier (Gene Hackman) and his soon-to-part lover, Claire (Joanna Cassidy), who are two journalists sent to cover the revolt. Grazier receives word he is to be a new TV anchorman in New York, and leaves early in the film. Nolte and Cassidy soon become lovers and accompany each other around Nicaragua, he taking pictures, she gathering notes for stories.
Because Nolte and Cassidy belong to the "prensa" (press), they can walk the streets as they please, generally without fear of harassment by the soldiers or the rebels. The events and sights that they, and we, witness are frightening: total devestation, rebel skirmishes with soldiers and innocent civilians mercilessly killed. Tension is omnipresent, and there is a feeling that the "lid is about to blow" at all times.
Toward the middle of the film, the two journalists are taken to the rebel's home base where their leader, Rafael, lives. They are the first reporters to be
allowed to interview Rafael, but it turns out that the leader is dead, and the rebels want Nolte to take pictures making is appear that he is really alive. The ethical questions of photojournalism come into play here, and Nolte must decide whether to do it or not.
The movie reaches its climax when Hackman, having heard about Nolte's "interview" with Rafael, returns to Nicaragua to do a story on the leader himself. While driving around the capital, he is shot by a Nicaraguan soldier while asking for directions. Nolte captures the incident on film, and the soldiers follow in hot pursuit to get it from him.
'Under Fire' is a riveting film in most respects. The tension between the soldiers and the journalists, and their fear of rebel ambushes is readily apparent. The capital, Managua, is always barren and deserted, except during the rebel's final thrust. Nolte, Hackman and Cassidy are superb in their roles, as is Rene Enriquez as President Somoza, and Jerry Goldsmith's score emphasizes the spirit of the rebels. The romance between Nolte and Cassidy doesn't work well during the love scenes, but while reporting they make a great team.
Unlike last year's film, 'Missing', 'Under Fire' ends on a jubilant note. The film itself is a powerful and intense look into the world of journalism in troubled nations and its inhabitants.
Coming next week: 'All The Right Moves' has a lot of wrong ones!

OC theatre workshops entertaining,
By Tami Lange
For many, theater serves one purpose, to entertain the audience. This does not mean all plays are merely two acts of one-liners or shallow drama. Sometimes, theater is meant to be educational as well as entertaining. Happily, this mixture was achieved by members of the Otterbein theater department as actors (and directors) presented three workshop productions over the past week.
The first of the three productions, "Domino Courts" was directed by senior Carol Giffen. It is the story of the aspirations of four people to better themselves, some by very extra,, IMMEDIATE JOB OPENING

Grave situations on cam
By Jim LeMaster
Tombstones and cemeteries are a big part of the Halloween season.
Almost all Otterbein students have seen the cemetery, located between the tennis courts and Engle Hall, but few really know the history of the cemetery, who is buried there, or how old the cemetery actually is.
Contrary to the belief of some students , "The cemetery is not comprised of Otterbein professors, but of the founders and pioneers of Westerville," said Dr. Harold Hancock.
When the land was originally given for the cemetery by Matthew Westervilt and Garrit Sharp, it was called the Methodist Cemetery, but is now called Lincoln Cemetery. Both Westervilt and Sharp are buried there.
Twenty-eight of the 219 gravestones in the cemetery are not legible, because some have begun to sink into the ground, and others have cracked or broken.
The oldest grave is that of George L. Budd, dated 1811, and the most recent is that of Bertha Scott Syckoff, who died in 1956, according to Rev. Larry Hard, Pastor of the Church of the Messiah.
Other "founders" of Westerville who are buried in the cemetery are Stephen Goodspeed, a banker in the community, John Budd, a successful businessman, and Ezra Sammis, an or
ganizer of one of the first Methodist Churches in Westerville.
Halloween activities scheduled
Other activities for Halloween include: GREEKS:
EKT (Arbutus): EKT will be having a sisterly social following their Monday night meeting. There will be refreshments and games.
Kappa Phi Omega: Onyx will celebrate Halloween at their co-ed Saturday night. The theme will be a Halloween costume party
Sigma Alpha Tau: The Owls will be hosting their fall co-ed with TEM. The theme is mixed-costume party and western. It will be held Saturday at Heimat House.
Tau Epsilon Mu: TEM will host a party for children of Otterbein faculty members on Saturday at 6:30 at the TEM house.

Devenney said that he originally applied for the position at Otterbein because the job appealed to him-However he was a bit apprehensive about the size of Otterbein. "I had not spent much time around a small campus," he said. "But now that I have been here, I really enjoy it."
He also has a very positive attitude toward the faculty in the music department. "The faculty members all get along very well together. Within a music department you have to deal with a lot of different temperaments and egos, but there really doesn't seem to be tension in the department," he said.

This meeting is mandatory for all girls interested in going through rush. The girls will be registered to go through rush and assigned to their rush counselor. This meeting will help answer questions about the rush program.
"One of the things that impressed me right away were the students at Otterbein," said DeVenney. "There were two students on the interviewing committee, and I got to talk to both of them for quite a while. The students who I have had contact with really seem involved in what they're doing, and have well-defined goals."
Regarding his general feelings about the music profession, he noted that it is "not a nine-to-five proposition. It requires a lot of time spent in the evenings, etc. You need to put in lots of time that really doesn't 'count' toward anything." He added that the students whom he has worked with at Otterbein seem to realize this, and are willing to make the commitment to put in the extra time required.
DeVenney is originally from Iowa. He received his bachelor's degree from Iowa State University in 1980, and his master's degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1982.

Cards defeated by Wittenberg in 'Mudbowl
By Bob Bland
The Otterbein Cardinals could do nothing more than spin their wheels in the Springfield, Ohio mud last Saturday as they dropped a 14-3 decision to the Wittenberg Tigers.
The Cardinals ( 1-2, 2-5) mustered only 125 yards in total offense while the Tigers rolled up 233 yards, all of them on the ground. The Tigers struck first on a one yard run to gain a 7-0 lead, going 71 yards in 13 plays. Wittenberg made it 14-0 after recovering an Otterbein fumble on the Card's 29. It took the Tigers seven plays to get their second score.
But that would conclude the Tigers' scoring on the day as the Cardinal defense rose up and stymied the Wittenberg offense for the remainder of the game.
Otterbein's only score came on Dave Chilcote's 27 yard field goal in the fourth quarter. The score was set up after Todd Weihl recovered a Wittenberg fumble on the Tiger's 20.
"I was pleased how the defense came back in the second half," said Head Coach Rich Seils. "They gave the offense several opportunities in the game but we could not cash in." Seils also feels that if the Cardinals could have grabbed the upper hand in the first half it may have been a different story.
Wittenberg (rated 11th nationally) raised their OAC Blue Division record to 3-0 and 6-1 overall.
This week the Cardinals will prepare for another blue division game when they host the Big Red of Denison University. Denison enters the game with a 1-1-1 divisional mark (4-2-1 overall) and is coming off a 25-0 win at Marietta.
Denison is one of only three colleges in the nation that uses the single wing offense and relies heavily on the run. They are led by Chris Spriggs who leads the OAC in total offense with over 250 yards a game.
This will be the 40th meeting of the two schools. Denison leads the series, which started in 1890. The Cards won last year 38-14.
OTTER NOTES: Saturday will be parents day and the last time the seniors play at home. Those seniors include Co-Captains Tom Lucas and Jack Yurich. Other players include Rick Goodrich, Chris Roark, Tony Keels, Steve Martindale, Ron Kyle, Jon Mastel, Keith Riddle and Jim Smith. Junior receiver Jeff Clark is lost for the remainder of the season with a knee injury.

Controversy surrounds soccer loss
By Scott Cavanagh
"In 20 years of soccer I've never seen this happen before." These were the words of Otterbein soccer coach
Steve Locker after his team was forced to forfeit to Ohio Dominican last Wednesday.
The loss, which dropped the Card's record to 3-7, was filled with controversial calls and confrontations between referees, players and coaches.
In the early going the game resembled most any other, with both teams playing hard, aggressive soccer.
The Cardinals took the lead mid-way through the first half on a goal by Roberto Quiroga. The controversies began near the end of the half when Locker was yellow-carded for contesting a referee's call. This was the only altercation of the first half, and the Cardinals took the lead onto the field for the second half of play.
The real problems began early in the second half when freshman Jim Ebright was yellow-carded for verbal abuse. Although this call was not contested, it was the beginning of many calls against the Cardinals.
With 11 minutes left in the game
O.D. tied the score at 1-1. Soon after, sophomore Dan Morris was slapped with a yellow card. According to Locker, this was the start of the real problems. "The referee has to inform the coach why his player has been yellow-carded," he said. "I was never given any reason why Dan was penalized."
Three minutes later, this game would come to an abrupt ending. At this time Ebright chased a cross ball in goal, but brushed the goal keeper in the process. Locker said that he expected a penalty. "Jim really didn't hit him solidly, but he did make contact, which gives the ref the right to give us a foul and give them a free kick."
Unfortunately for the Cardinals, the referee saw the foul as much more flagrant than Locker. The referee immediately red-carded Ebright. The red card called for the immediate ejec -
tion of the player without substitution.
When the red card was pulled, Locker ran directly onto the field to question the call. "All I did was ask him why he saw the foul as serious enough to red card my player," said Locker.
The referee called for Locker to leave the field. When the coach persisted in questioning the call, he too was red-carded and asked to leave the premises.
After leaving the field, Locker returned to the bench. This was not sufficient however as his ejection called for him to leave the playing area altogether.
Locker then asked the official how far away he would have to be in order for play to resume. When the referee told Locker he would have to go at least as far as the triad complex, the coach refused, and the game was called immediately, with Ohio Dominican being given the win.
Locker admitted that he may have made a mistake in not leaving the field, but he defended his position.
"I truly regret having to lose a game that way," said Locker. "Some of the guys were really playing well at the time, but I think some of those calls had to be questioned eventually."
As far as his team's play was concerned, Locker was mildly pleased. "I felt some of the guys played really well, but others seemed to be giving less than 100%," he said.
One of the players Locker was pleased with was junior Gary Benot. "Gary has been playing very hard and very well." said Locker. "I really think he deserves special mention."
The Cardinals played Marietta Wednesday. Locker planned to use some new players in the game. "Many of the guys have worked real hard," he said. "Unfortunately, these people have not gotton a chance to compete in games. I think this game can be a real good learning experience for some of our reserves."
The Cardinals will end their season Saturday as they travel to Denison for a I :30 p.m. game with the Big Red.
