While many students were unpacking from their year away at school last June, the Public Relations Department was busy packing and moving.
In late June the P.R. Department moved from the Howard House, located at 131 W. Park St., next door to the Cellar H ouse.
Before Otterbein acquired it, the Cellar House was built by Cellar Lumber as a model home. The house was later given to Otterbein in the40's and was used to house faculty members.
The Cellar House was renovated to occupy offices because the Howard House was becoming congested with both the Development and Public Relation Departments located at the corner house. The college felt that it would be cheaper to renovate the house into office space instead of building on to the Howard House.
The Cellar House, 141 W. Park St., contains offices for eight workers in the P.R. Department, and the Howard House contains space for the 12 staff members in the Development Department.
After more than a year of waiting; Otterbein College's radio station, WOBN, has finally made its move.
Two years ago the Federal Communication Commission informed WOBN it would be required to increase its power or move up into the commercial band of the FM dial. Since increasing the power seemed impossible, a new frequency had to be located and approved by the FCC.
Students from the station, with the help of James Grissinger, decided that the best chance for approval of a new frequency would be 105.7. Once that was decided, a proposal was drawn up and submitted to the FCC for their approval. This stage delayed the projected September, 1982 changeover date. Approval was not received until spring quarter of 1983.
Once approved, other changes were necessry in order to implement the move. A new crystal had to be
Otterbein hires speech instructors to fill vacancies
The Speech department has welcomed its newest faculty member, John Buckles, who will take over at the helm of WOBN.
Buckles will teach broadcasting and speech classes and advise WOBN. John Ludlum, speech department chairman, stated that "his (Buckles) teaching load will be adjusted as he becomes accustomed to the department."
Buckles is replacing the semiretired Dr. James Grissinger. "It will be hard to fill the shoes of Dr. Grissinger," Buckles commented. "He has done such a good job with the station."
In assuming his position, Buckles has a few ideas to help the station's development. "I would like to solidify the bond between the radio and television departments," said Buckles. Buckles and John Doney, the new television department head, have planned to work together as much as possible. One idea is to have the WOBN signal played on the WOCC channel when they (WOCC) are not programming. They are also considering simulcasting.
Buckles also wants to work with programming. With the Associated Press radio wire available, Buckles would like to increase WOBN's news coverage. He also lists more special events and more community, "not just campus," appeal as areas for growth,
Buckles, like other new faculty/ staff members, is "impressed with the quality of people at Otterbein. Just because a place is small, that does not mean that the people are friendly, but here they really are." Buckles is also impressed with the radio and television opportunities at Otterbein. "With the amount of hands-on training available the opportunities here are unmatched by any place I have been," he said.
Those places include Indiana State University , where he did his undergraduate work. He majored in broadcasting and got his Masters degree in Management/ Programming. While at WISU, JSU's campus radio station, Buckles served as an announcer head of the sports department, station manager, and then as the adviser. He has worked at three other professional radio stations and a professional television station. He has also worked for the United Press and was a sports - writer for the Terre Haute (Ind.) Tribune Star before coming to Otterbein.
"Lights, cameras, action!" will resound in the L.R.C.'s T.Y. production room this year with the help of David Doney, newly appointed assistant professor of speech communications and director of television production at Otterbein.
As the director of television production, Doney plans to utilize the College's students as well as its equipment to the fullest. In addition, these same students will even get the chance to run a "real live T. V. station." Doney believes that Otterbein is the only school in Ohio that operates a completely student-run cable television station.
Otterbein's T.V. station, WOCC, is operated in conjunction with the city of Westerville. Doney will act as the liason between the city of Westerville and the College.
In addition to the usual programming of football games, cable commission meetings, and "Meet the Candidates," he plans to implement, with the aid of his students, a news program - "Westerville in Review" which will appear in January.
He also plans to give the students in his fall T. V. production class a chance to do some of their own programming. Each of them is required to produce five, one-half hour programs, to be aired next January.
ordered so the transmitter would broadcast at 105.7 rather than 91.5.
In addition to the new crystal, one of the most noticeable changes was the purchase of a new antenna and tower sections for the station. During the summer the new sections were added raising the tower 60 feet above the roof of Cowan Hall (approximately 140 feet above ground level). With the new tower and antenna, WOBN will increase its coverage 2½ times. This means WOBN will have to become more of a community service station as well as a campus station. It also will make it possible for students back in Davis Hall to listen to the station.
The staff at WOBN, as well as their new adviser Mr. John Buckles, are ready for the change. They hope the Otterbein students and staff and the Westerville community will tune into WOBN at l05.7.
Doney plans to show off his own expertise to his students ' by preparing his own programs. He believes that one must be able to perform a function before giving out orders to others.
Doney comes to Otterbein with plenty of experience. He was previously employed by the city of Columbus in the Department of Energy's tele-communication center as a writer/ producer.
He initially volunteered his services to this organization and did so well he was offered a full-time position to produce documentaries and other short programs.
"I think of myself as a teacher first," he explained. Doney enjoys working with new people and new students. As a result, he dediced to come back to teaching and give students some real live T.Y. experience.

Were you caught standing in line?
A line, the closest distance between two points. For many students the first week was spent in one line after another. Lines to eat, park, add, drop, and the shower stalls are all parts of the first week of classes.
, "Waiting in lines made me late for a lot of things. I didn't expect to wait in fines as much as I did."
Phil Thompson, Jr. Business, Rutland, Ohio "/ waited in a lot less lines than I thought I would have to. I met a lot of interesting people while waiting in line."
Kathy Jacubec, Fr. "/ think it's fun because you can Medical Tech. hear what everybody else is talking Lakewood, Ohio about, as long as you don't have to stay there all day."

Our sympathy
The T &C staff would like to join the Otterbein community in extending our deepest sympathy to Dean VanSant on the loss of her mother, Dorothy VanSant, last Thursday.
Mrs. VanSant served the College from 1952-60 as a housemother in Garst and Clements halls. Afterward, she maintained her ties with Otterbein attending various campus events and serving as a member of the Otterbein Women's Club.
Mrs. Vansant, 79, resided with her daughter, Joanne Vansant, vice president of student affairs, and Marilyn Day, chairperson of the Otterbein Women's Health and Physical Education Department.
A memorial service was held last Sunday at the Central College Presbyterian Church in which she was remembered best for her extensive knowledge of the financial world and her creative and artistic abilities.
A kick in the grass ...
Congratulations to the Otterbein Athletic Department for opening their eyes and seeing the black and white round ball. Soccer has been one of the fastest growing youth leagues in the country and is the most popular sport in Europe, often drawing more than 100,000 fans a contest.
Otterbein's admittance into the 14-team soccer league rounds out the conference. The OAC's soccer program, like other athletics, is one of the strongest in Division III athletics.
The T & C wishes the best of luck to the soccer team as they open their season next Monday.
We're in for a briefing
"Pass me the Daily Data" will no longer resound off the walls of the cafeteria during lunch hours. Now, you ask if the food service personnel confiscated them. Or worse yet, Otterbein has no data to report.
The answer to both is 'no.' Instead, the once familiar "Daily Data" has been shoved aside and replaced with the new logo "Otter Briefs."
In an effort to save money, the public relations department will publish the briefs only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week. In order to get published, you need to submit information before noon the day before publications.
The Quiet Peaceful Village Festival held yesterday will continue through today in the Campus Center. The Festival allows students to become acquainted with Uptown Merchants and campus organizations. The Festival runs from 11 a.m. ti/ 2 this afternoon.

THERE'S NO SUBSTITUTE FOR LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE!
You came to college to become a leader, right? But what kind of management experience will you have when you begin your career? Army Second Lieutenants fresh out of college manage 30 to 50 individuals and sophisticated, expensive equipment. They make important decisions daily That's a lot of responsibility for a recent college graduate and the kind of leadership experience employers value.
Simply add Military Science to your class schedule and you'll discover the best management training program on campus. You'll incur no military obligation the first two years. If you decide to become an Army officer, we'll pay you $100 per month the last two years of the program, and you might pick up one of our full-tuition scholarships. Most important, you'll gain the leadership experience and self-confidence that comes with Army ROTC leadership training.

Tomorrow marks the beginning of this year's first weekend, and most freshmen's first exposure to that Otterbein tradition: The Great Weekend Exodus. No one can really blame the students who go elsewhere for their weekend recreation-at first glance their seems to be absolutely nothing inter-· esting to do at the Bein once classes are over for the week (let's face it, staging cockroach races in Mayne Hall gets a little dry after awhile). Being the great humanitarians we are, the Tan and Cardinal staff has begun this special section in the center of your paper, which has one purpose: to find some reasons for Otterbein students to stay around Otterbein on the weekends. Since this section was created for you, we'd be glad to hear any suggestions/or things to include in it.

O. C. I. S. -a student organization
By Ted Cedargren
The initials above are probably meaningless to you, but actually they have a great deal of significance for all Otterbein students. The purpose of the Ohio Coalition of Independent Students (O.C.I.S.) is to protect student rights. This student organization informs the students about significant issues, like financial aid The word "effort" is used because O.C.I.S. has just recently become recognized by Otterbein College and the other colleges it seeks to serve.
Although O.C.I.S. is a relatively new organization, it has the backing of the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Ohio (A.I.C.U.O.). Otterbein College, a member, received a memorandum which stated, "the group is dedicated
O.C.I.S. is an important and worth-
while venture for Otterbein College, but only if the students at Otterbein want to make it happen. As a student trustee, I have investigated O.C.I.S. through its literature and a meeting in April 1983. O.C.I.S. is a full-time responsibility. With student trustee commitments, one person cannot adequately fulfill both positions. This situation , regretfully, forces me to find someone at Otterbein who feels they can assume a leadership role in O.C.I.S. In addition to filling this position, participation from the whole student body is needed. First, should Otterbein College be involved in a student organization? Second, how will this involvement be structured? Third, will Otterbein students accept the challenge of forming a cohesive student-run organization?
If there's one thing business students have always needed, this is it: an affordable, business-oriented calculator. The Texas Instruments BA-35, the Student Business Analyst. Its built-in business formulas let you perform complicated finance, accounting and statistical functions - the ones that usually require a lot of time calculations, amortizations and balloon payments.
The BA-35 means you spend less time calculating, and more time learning. One keystroke takes the place of many.
The calculator is just part of the package. You also get a book that follows most business courses: the Business Analyst Guidebook. Business professors helped us write it, and a stack of reference books, to help you get the most out like present and future value of calculator and classroom.

Cardinal baseball '83-better than ever
By Bob Bland
The Otterbein baseball team made its first appearance in the NCAA Division III World Series in Marietta this past spring and brought home some very high honors. Although the Cards finished second in the nation, it was the highest any Otterbein team finished in the school's history.
At Marietta, the Cards were picked to finish sixth in the six team series The Cards went on to beat rival Marietta 5-4. Next was number one ranked North Carolina Weslyan and a 17-4 drubbing at the hands of the Bishops. Otterbein bounced back the next day against California St. - Stanislaus to beat the Warriors 9-8. The following day the Cards rallied for three runs in the bottom of the ninth to beat N.C. Weslyan 10-9. The Cardinals needed just one more win for the national crown, but it was not to be, as Marietta seemingly hit every pitch in sight in a 36-8 win over the Cards.
"This was definitely a great honor to the school and to the program," said Coach Dick Fishbaugh.
Several Cardinals gained national and conference honors. Named to the All-OAC team were second baseman Bret Brownfield and third baseman Mike Blythe. Named to the second team were outfielders Jim Hoyle and Dave Weaver, and pitcher Kirk McDonald. Mike Goodwin, catcher, was named honorable mention.
Jim Hovle, outfielder, slides into Named to the All-Midwest Regional team were Blythe, second base to break up the double Brownfield, Goodwin, shortstop Jon Mastel, and pitcher Ob play. Hartman.
Gaining All-World Series honors were Blythe, Goodwin, Hoyle, and McDonald.
The Cards will be in fall workouts in a few weeks, and with 11 starters returning (including four pitchers), there may very well be a return trip to Marietta next June.
Mike Blythe crosses homep/ate against Marietta in this year's NCAA Division Ill World Series game.

Cardinals
just sh_ort in season opener
By Bob Bland
On paper, it was close. On the scoreboard, it was even closer. Despite dropping the season opener to the visiting Adrian Bulldogs, 9- 7, the Otterbein Cardinals showed 3,500 fans at Memorial Stadium Saturday night the beginning of what promises to be an exciting season of Cardinal football.
"I was very pleased with the defense," said Head Coach Rich Seils. The Cardinal defense allowed only 91 yards rushing and recorded four quarterback sacks. Offensively, Seils was ,also pleased, especially with the running backs, who accumulated 144 yards on 31 carries.
Adrian opened the scoring in the first quarter on a 56-yard, I I-play drive which resulted in a 34 yard field goal. The bulldogs added another 3 pointer from 39 yards to make the score 6-0 at the half.
Getting down to business
The _Cardinal offense got into gear immediately in the second half. On the first possession of the second half the Cardinals, drove 66 yards in 12 plays as junior fullback Rick Burdette bulled into the end zone for the game's only touchdown, and a 7-6 Otterbein lead.
Adrian came back in the fourth quarter with a 32-yard field goal to give the Bulldogs a 9-7 win.
Next up Gambier
The Cardinals go on the road Saturday to Gambier to face the Kenyon College Lords.
The Lords, who tied in their season opener against Ohio Wesleyan, 17-17, have 11 starters returning. Kenyon, a team smaller in size, possesses quickness and an excellent wide receiver.
As the Cardinals prepare for the Kenyon team, they must search for possible back-up players who may be called on to fill spots vacated because of injuries.
The game will be at 1:30 at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. The Cards beat Kenyon last year 23-14.
