Towers Hall receives facelift, inside and out
By Lora Robinson
Towers Hall is once again in the forefront of physical changes taking place at Otterbein.
A.V. Room moved to C.C. basement
By Jenni Linker
The foyer to the Campus Center arena theatre has become the new large screen video room.
The large screen television was moved downstairs to leave more space in the campus center and provide a more useful room for activities centering around the video screen. It will also be possible to have programs in that room which would have been impractical to have when the large screen television was in the main lounge of the Campus Center.
"The main function of the room will be to show movies, television specials, and video rock concerts, such as those shown on Home Box Office, but that isn't nearly all the room will be used for," said Becky Smith, Coordinator of Student Activities. "With the screen downstairs, it will be much more practical for the residence halls and all other campus organizations to schedule programs that would make use of the large screen. Special programs could even be taped from television and classes could meet down there," Smith said.
Eventually Smith hopes to open up the stand in the billiards to sell refreshments.
The screen was moved downstairs because there is less traffic than in the main lounge, and it is darker. The glare from the main lounge made it difficult to see the screen during the day. Now videos can be shown at any time regardless of the lighting outside.
The room may also be used by the theatre department to show slides during intermissions.
The metal and wood trim on top of Towers has built up many layers of paint over the years, now cracking and peeling, according to John Wathen, service department director. The paint is being sand blasted off the metal but has to be scraped off the wooden trim because the sand would destroy the wood.
Wathen said a non-glossy white paint will be applied over an oil-base primer. He added the wood is fine but has some dents due to its age. By using the non-glossy paint the imperfections will not be accented.
The building will also be patched and caulked to make it more air-tight. Once this has been done, the grout between the bricks will be removed and new grout inserted
The work on top of Towers will hopefully prolong the life of the building. Wathen calls it, "good preventive maintenance."
Along with all the work being done on Tower's exterior, there are also renovations inside New doors will
soon be on front of the building. "The present doors are energy inefficient, hard to secure properly and have a poor appearance," Wathen said. The new doors will keep with the old style of the building as much as possible with the proper security lock and crash bar.
Over the summer new porches and steps were poured for Towers' doorways. These outside improvements were added for safety and appearance, according to Wathen.
Little work is being done to the inside of Towers this year although some work has been done to the faculty lounge
The walls were painted, new lights put in the ceiling and new carpeting installed.
The service department is also saving Otterbein about $ I 0 ,000 by expanding the present fire alarm sys.tern in Towers. The west portion of the basement and the computer lab has full alarm coverage
New prof. sees O.C.'s size as asset
By Amy Cedargren
Otterbein's small size is considered an asset by Dr. Louis Arnold, Otterbein's newest physics professor.
Dr. Arnold comes to Otterbein from the Ohio State University where he says it is more of a center for research and graduate education. Otterbein by contrast, allows "much more opportunity for interaction between faculty and students," according to Dr. Arnold.
At OSU, Dr. Arnold had very little chance to associate with physics majors unless they were specifically assigned to him or he had them in class.
At Otterbein, with only three physics majors, Dr. Arnold knows them all even though he is not necessarily their adviser.
Patton honored Wednesday at Academic Convocation
By Lisa Pettit
The Academic Honors Convocation, which was held in honor of John A. Patton in Cowan Hall yesterday, installed Dr. Roy F. Reeves as the first John A. Patton Professor of Computer Science. Patton endowed $250,000 for the John A Patton Chair in Computer Science.
According to Dr. Donald Bulthaup, vice president of academic affairs, the $250,000 endowment will be placed into Otterbein's endowment fund and the interest that this money draws will pay for Dr. Reeves' salary.
Dr. Reeves joined the Otterbein faculty in 1981. Prior to 1981 Dr. Reeves was on the faculty of The Ohio State University for 30 years.
Patton attended Otterbein for a brief period and later received his bachelor's degree from Cleveland
College and his master's degree in business administration from Western Reserve University.
The convocation's speaker was futurist Earl C. Joseph. An international lecturer, Joseph researches the future and has published articles and book chapters on future studies.
The Computer Science program at Otterbein College began in 1973 with a single course in computer science for mathematics majors. Now there are two interdisciplinary majors in the field with a total enrollment of more than 400 students.
The convocation was presided over by • President Thomas Kerr. The Otterbein Concert Choir and Brass Ensemble performed and Dr Michael Haberkorn, a faculty member of the Otterbein department of music played organ selections by Bender, Handel and Purcell.
According to Dr. Arnold, Otterbein's biggest advantage is the small classes which "allow for tailoring a course toward students' interests." In advanced physics classes at OS U there may be 40-50 students, whereas at Otterbein there are three. As Dr. Arnold said, "At OSU you must dig it out on your own."
Dr. Arnold's long term goal is to increase the numbe r of physics majors at Otterbein. As Dr. Arnold see s it "One of the problems in this country is that scientific training is below other industrial countries. I believe more science should be taught at all levels, and not just for pre-med, engineering, and science majors."
In addition, "Students should consider taking a natural science course as part of their education regardless of their major."
When asked "What is the purpose of learning physics?" Dr. Arnold replies that "it develops quantitative estimating skills useful in many areas, for example energy consumption."
Beyond this, Dr. Arnold says it also answers questions like "Why is the sky blue, or the sunset red?"

You don't sit in this; Otterbein receives Chair
While many students perceived Wednesday morning as a chance to sleep late, the academia of Otterbein saw it as something much more important.
Yesterday, Otterbein received its first endowed chair since 1903, more than 80 years. The chair is a result of the generosity of John A. Patton, a Cleveland industrialist.
This endowed chair brings with it as we see it, three opportunities for which the College can engage. According to Frank Fite, vice president of development and public relations, "It will permit us to always have a very qualified professor holding that chair."
Not only will it attract qualified instructors, but it will also attract quality students. The endowment of this chair complements the admissions department's endeavor to recruit students of a higher quality.
Financially, the College will benefit as well. The grant of $250,000 will provide interest from which a salary will be drawn for the professor who holds the chair - currently Dr. Roy Reeves, professor of mathematical sciences. The endowment will also underwrite some other activities of the computer science department itself.
We see this endowment as a fortunate step that will benefit the College as well as the students.
Even so, we wish to express a concern for the.welfare of other academic departments and extra-curricular activities.
Will these other departments and activities suffer academically or even financially as a result of the computer science department's sudden spurt of growth? Or will attention be primarily focused on the computer science department since it has received this endowment?
We would hope that amidst all of the celebration for the endowment that is taking place now, the remainder of the Otterbein community will not be overlooked.
Columbia thinks we're good ...
How well does the T&C stack up against other newspapers from colleges of comparable size?
We decided to find out by submitting several different issues of last year's paper to the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. This organization judges college newspapers on the quality of reporting, writing and editing.
The T &C fared well with a first place rating.
Although we don't admit to complete perfection, we feel this accomplishment was well deserved.
This year, we intend to improve this rating by an even larger margin. By doing this, we will better serve you, our most important judge.

Offenberger was impressed with various aspects of the show, stating that the competition was "very stiff' and the show was "done professionally." He also felt that the "variety was one of the best things about the show."
Echoing Miller's feelings, Offenberger said "the audience was very attentive and supportive."

Gems shine through tarnished film summer
By Bill Harnsberger
This summer movie season may go down in history as the biggest money maker ever, but it will also go down as one of the most disappointing. I was asked to comment on the five best films of the summer but I could only find four.
'Return of the Jedi' kicked off the summer '83 season on May 25, and is now the fourth largest money maker in movie history. In less than four months, 'Jedi' has grossed over $250 million. Its unique blend of heroic and evil characters, quick pace, good versus bad storyline and spectacular special effects make it the most entertaining movie of the summer.
'Trading Places' is the best comedy since 'Tootsie,' and another hot summer film. Two elderly millionaires bet that, if stripped of all his possessions, millionaire Dan Aykroyd would turn to crime for survival. In turn, ghetto dweller Eddie Murphy would be able to take over Aykroyd's prestigious investment firm position. This 'heredity vs. environment' wage has hilarious results. Eddie Murphy's performance is exciting.
'Wargames' gave audiences hightech tension and excitement, thanks to John (Saturday Night Fever) Badham's tight direction, and great performances by Matthew Broderick, Dabney Coleman and John Wood. Although 'Wargames' was meant to be
Reviewer "purrs" for Stray Cats
By Kevin Stafford
The Stray Cats have a new album out, and they are definitely improving with age. On "Look at that Cadillac," they have added a horn section, giving power to this song that they had never before brought to bear. In addition, there was backing vocals on "Down, Dirty Feeling" that give it a sound closer to Fifties' soul than the trademark rockabilly sound. Other traditional influences can be heard on this LP. "Rebels Rule" has a sound and style similar to Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away," while Eddie Cochran and his "Summertime Blues" colors "How Long You Wanna Live, Anyway?" "Dig Dirty Doggie" reveals a rock musician's infatuation with man's best friend, echoing songs like Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog" and

The Beatles' "Martha My Dear," which Paul McCartney wrote for his English sheepdog.
The last two songs on this album, "Eighteen Miles from Memphis" and "(She's) Sexy and 17" contain something of the "good ole boy" rockabilly sound. "18 Miles" with its country steel guitar and "Sexy and 17" with a classic rock sound are in the vein of "Stray Cat Strut" and "Rock This Town."
I must admit, when I first saw and heard the Stray Cats on MTV, I felt they were unoriginal and ought to have left the music to people who were trying to do something new. But with this album, they have improved tremendously. This is certainly the best thing they have ever done, and "Rant and Rave with the Stray Cats" may be the most interesting album of the summer.

Three teams still unbeaten in OAC grid action
By Scott Cavanagh
After just two weeks of play only Heidelberg, Mount Union and Wittenberg remain unbeaten in the 14-team Ohio Athletic Conference.
Of the three, Heidelberg has been the most impressive, as the Student Princes have yet to be scored upon in victories over Marietta and Ohio Wesleyan. Heidelberg will be hard pressed to keep their scoreless streak alive Saturday when they host Denison. and its high powered single-wing offense.
Wittenberg will try to continue its win streak when the tigers host Butler. Mount Union will try to protect its perfect record as it plays host to the Cardinals.
Muskingum will host neighboring Marietta with the Pioneers still looking for that elusive first victory. Capital, which evened its record at 1-1 last week, hosts Ohio Wesleyan, another winless squad.
Three other teams have yet to get into the win column as BaldwinWallace, Wooster and Oberlin will be gunning for win number one against Dayton, Kenyon and Hope respectively. Ohio Northern will host Findlay as the Polar Bears try to avenge last year's defeat.
After two weeks of play, Denison leads the league in total offense, with an average of 429 yards per game, while Otterbein leads in total defense, with an average of just 200.5 yards given up per outing.
In the individual leaders. Denison's Chris Spriggs is the rushing leader with 299 total yards. And an average of 149.5 yards per game. Ohio Northern's Mike Eichar is the passing leader, with a passing efficiency of 169.63. Kenyon's Todd Stone is the receiving leader with 19 receptions for 213 yards and two touchdowns.

Card "win everything but the final score"
The Otterbein Cardinals dropped their second decision in as many starts Saturday as they were defeated by the Kenyon Lords I 0-0 before a crowd of 2,317 in Gambier's McBride Stadium
"We won everything but the final score," commented head coach Rich Seils. The Cards lead in total offense (223 yards to 134) and time of possession (34:46 to 25: 14) however the Cardinals could not get across the goal line in the game. While the offense sputtered, the defense once again had a strong showing as they allowed only 26 yards on the ground and recorded six quarterback sacks.
The Cardinals will have to turn things around this week as they travel to Allliance to face the Mount Union Purple Raiders. Seils calls Mount Union "very aggressive and one of the best teams the Cards will face all year." The Raiders are also a balanced team as they return 15 starters from last season's 8-1 squad which ranked 14th in the nation in Division Ill. Senior quarterback Tony Colao threw for 1,669 yards last year and was named All OAC and honorable mention All-American. Mount Union averaged 388.5 yards offense and 29 points a game.
This year Mount Union is 2-0 with wins over Alma (Mich.) 35-8 and Hiram 28-24. This will be the 16th meeting between the schools dating back to 1937. Mount Union leads the series 11-4 with the Cardinals last The
