POINT - CO U NTE R - NT
Local vs. National: Two types of greek life
Often the best way to find the best possible solution to a problem which will satisfy the largest number of people is to examine its radical extremes.
In an attempt to allow you, our reader to make more informed decisions about issues at Otterbein, the editorial page of the "Tan and Cardinal" will be presenting a point-counter-point section examining some current issue, problem, or event facing our community.
These columns certainly will not be able to present or explore every side to every issue. However, while not "60 Minutes," it is our hope through presenting some of the major points of both sides, you will be able to better determine the best alternatives, many of which probably lie somewhere between the two extremes explored.
This week the "T&C" explores the question of confrontation between members of the existing greek community who are opposed to the introduction of one or more national greek organizations and those who are in favor of such a move.

Editorial Is Towers growing?
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in Towers, it starts growing!!
Or so it seems. The renovations of Towers Hall were long in coming and much needed, but little did we know that it would sprout a fourth floor.
In the real world, Towers 202 would logically be on the second floor. But in the quiet, peaceful village, nothing is logical. Now take a deep breath as the T &C staff unravels the mystery of the fourth floor.
The basement is now the first floor.
The first floor is now the second floor.
The second floor is now the third floor.
And, VIOLA! The third floor is now the fourth floor. Or to make it simpler:
The third floor isn't the third floor anymore because its the fourth floor, and the second floor isn't the second floor anymore because its the third floor, and the first floor isn't the first floor anymore because its the second floor, and the basement is not there anymore because it is now the first floor.
Huh?
Due to the clever deduction of the T &C staff, we have figured out that the old basement of Towers Hall must now be the location of the long-rumored swimming pool.
According to T&C staff horticulturalist, Johnny Stick , this increased water supply may be responsible for Towers' recent growing spurt. Stick also hypothesized that the fertilizer spread through Towers daily, mixed with the water, could have been responsible for the chemical reaction that left Towers with a fourth floor.
Stick predicts that if this process continues, by the year 2000, Towers will have approximately 7.4873 floors.
College officials predict that this mysterious process will save the College millions of dollars in expansion costs in the years to come.

"The Wall" attacks senses with visuals and sound
By Charlotte Latvala
Pink Floyd has never been the most cuddly of rock bands. Their gloomy material seems best enjoyed by stoned teens peering out of glazed eyeballs and "getting heavy."
Which brings us to the movie adaptation of "The Wall," Pink Floyd's best-selling album of 1979. The album traced the mental breakdown of an enormously popular rock star, namely, Pink The brainchild of the real "Pink," Roger Waters, it was a life-is-rough-at-the-top tale, and the -c movie follows the vinyl original note by note, so to speak.
"The Wall" stars Bob Geldof (yes, ci: of Boomtown Rats fame, in case you have lived in a closet for the past four years) in his acting debut as the anguished Pink. It was directed by Alan This calculator thinks business.
If there's one thing undergrad business students have always needed, this is it: an affordable, business-oriented calculator.
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 and a stack of reference books, like present and future value calculations, amortizations and balloon payments.
It all 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, to help you get the most out of calculator and classroom. A powerful combination. Think business. With the Student Business Analyst.
Parker and the music from the album (with a few minor changes) serves as the sole dialogue and soundtrack.
The audience is taken into Pink's mind to enter his own private hell. In flashbacks, we see why Pink is such an isolated soul. His father was killed in WWII and his rotund mother was over-protective but unloving. His teachers in the rigid English system were ogres, and his wife is cheating on him. Finally, he certainly cannot relate to his rabid, zealous fans.
If you can take this film as a nightmarish glimpse at a man who's lost any grip on reality, it is tremendous. Geldof, with his wiry body and dark, sunken eyes was an excellent choice as Pink. The garishly wild photographic effects involved vivid imagination, as did the several moody animated sequences. (If you are allergic to plenty of realistic gore and unsettling violence, you won't find this movie quite as riveting.)
The trouble with "The Wall," though, is that it drowns in selfindulgence and self-pity. It is difficult to sympathize with Pink because he does nothing to help himself. He lets himself be manipulated and stepped on without ever fighting back. After all, his lot in life could be much worse.
The movie would have been more complete if it had shown more. For example, I have no idea why or how Pink became such a famous pop star. Did he once love the audience he now despises? The details of his relationship with his wife are sketchy, so I had trouble feeling any emotion there. None of the characters (the mother , the school teacher) are presented in more th? n a one-dimensional realm , so they are hard to believe Ultimately, "The Wall" comes off as a gorgeously wrapped empty box. It bombards the senses with graphic visuals and stereophonic sound, and is fascinating, though depressing, to watch But a movie should make one care about its characters, and it is tough to relate to a spoiled pop star wrapped up in his own world

'Pac-Team' wins in rout; primes for Malone lnvit.
, By Jerry Marks
The "Pac-Team" runners of Otterbein's cross country team cleared their first board at Springfield last week as the Cardinals defeated Wittenberg, the University of Dayton, Muskingum, and Xavier.
The Cardinals literally ran away with the meet as the Otters' top five men finished in the first nine places.
Mark Burns was the overall winner with a time of 26:46 for the five-mile
race. Todd Corwin finished second with a time of 27:43. Mike Ginn was the third Cardinal to cross the finish line and fifth runner overall recording a time of 27:54. Freshman Scott Alpeter followed Ginn by three seconds as he finished sixth overall with a time of 27:57. Rounding off the top five runners for Otterbein was Steve Rush who finished ninth in 28: 16. Other team members and their respective
overall finishes were: Kevin Chambers, 18th; Ray Bowman, 20th; Dave McIntyre, 29th; and Keith Froggatt, 50th.
Ginn, a sophomore, thought the opening meet was a good team performance: "I think for a young team we had a strong performance, but we'll be tested when we compete in the Malone Invitational."
The Malone Invitational, to be held this Saturday in Canton, Ohio, will
be a 15-team affair. Coach Dave Lehman is expecting Baldwin Wallace, Ohio Wesleyan, and other Ohio Athletic Conference teams to be participating in the meet.
This week's race will cover 6.2 miles instead of the usual 5 miles. Lehman said the team wasn't doing anything special in their workouts to prepare for the longer course, the Malone Invitational is just a "tuneup for the bigger meets in the season."
Cardinals predicted dose third in Blue Division
By Richard Perk
A solid offensive attack, an inexperienced defensive backfield, and a solid kicking game are what's in store for Otterbein football fans this season. With teams like Wittenberg and Ohio Northern on the 1982 schedule, the Cards have their work cut out for them. In a poll taken in mid-August, the coaches and media of the Ohio Athletic Conference chose Wittenberg and Ohio Northern to finish first and second respectively, in the Blue Division. Otterbein was chosen to finish a close third.
Offensively, the Cards have eight returning starters, with senior Brook McDonald leading the offense. According to head coach Rich Seils, "The running game will definitely be consistant. Brook (McDonald) runs the option better than anyone in the conference."
When McDonald isn't running the ball, he'll be giving it to Rick Burdette, Darren Bell, or Rick Goodrich, all of whom saw plenty of action last week.
When McDonald throws the ball, his primary receivers will be Bryan Valentine, Dave Torgerson, Skip Rausch, and Matt Clegg, a transfer
student from Heidelberg, played high school ball at Westerville North.
Creating a massive wall to protect McDonald and company from opposing defensive linemen will be veteran seniors Monte Simmons, Tom Schorr, and captain Dave Hann. Look for sophomores Brian Jobe and John Case to be an integral part of the offensive line.
Defensively, the Cards are young and inexperienced. There are eight new faces on defense this year, including freshman linebacker Tim Harris from Crooksville. "Harris will make some mistakes like all young ball players," said Seils, "but he has the potential to be a fine linebacker."
In order to keep the pressure off the inexperienced secondary, Seils hopes to put pressure on opposing quarterbacks. He also plans to use the nickledefense (five defensive backs) in definite passing situations.
Members of the defense applying the pressure this season will be John Voytilla, Gary Ubrey, Kurt Denijs, and Tony Keels. Keels received added recognition in last Saturday's win over Kenyon, as he was nominated for defensive player of the week for sacking the quarterback twice and causing a fumble which led to an Otterbein touchdown
The kicking game remains the s ame as last year with both punter Jon Mastel and field goal kicker Jim Hoyle expected to have even better seasons than they had last year.
Overall, the Cards should be able to hold their own during the '82 season. According to Seils, "The conference is much more balanced this yea r than in previous years." When ask e d wh o he felt is the team to beat in the O .A.C .' s Blue Division, Seils smiled and co nvincingly said , "We are."
