Good luck Cards!
Ahh, there is nothing better for an Otterbein football fan than watching a red-clad Otterbein player tangle with a purple-clad Capital player. The result: a Capital massacre.
Although Otterbein's record thus far this year would lead one to believe we're not capable of this sort of violence, the Otters have managed to pull out four straight wins over Capital in the last four years.
Even though we have these winning laurels to flaunt in the faces of the Capital fans, we believe that the true test of bravery takes place off the field.
This test of bravery and survival is best displayed between the CapOtter fans when the jeers, leers and sneers are tossed across the field between the teams' fans.
Despite the competition and rivalry between the two schools, the newspapers of each school have again joined in a tradition that began three years ago.
At right is displayed the editorial cartoon from the staff of the Chimes, Capital's weekly student newspaper. Below it is displayed the T&C's response which will be printed in this week's edition of the Chimes.
Both the T&C and the Chimes are proud to join in the good, clean competitive rivalry that exists between the two schools.
This week we urge you to attend the home game which begins at 7:30 p.m. We also urge you to attend so that any "Here Otter" chants from the Capital stands might be drowned out by the Cardinal fans.
Finally the T & C wishes the best of luck to the coaches, cheerleaders, the band and finally the football players who will act out this annual Capital massacre.
Go Cardinals!
Welcome back WOBN
WOBN will again occupy the air waves of Otterbein College only this time at a new frequency.
Tomorrow at 4 p.m., the station will make the big switch to FM l06. This broadcast will kick-off the annual Cap-Otter marathon.
We would like to join the rest of the college community in celebrating WOBN's 25th year of broadcasting. We want to also wish the best of luck to the staffers as they set out to serve Otterbein and the Westerville area.
Finally, we encourage everyone to listen to WOBN throughout the year, but especially lend an ear to the poor souls who get to broadcast into the wee hours this Saturday morning.
Bloodthirsty: take note ...
Don't worry that your blood pressure plummets or that you become faint at the sight of a needle. Otterbein needs your support this Friday at the third semi-annual Cap-Otter blood drive.
We have beaten Capital at just about everything but this blood drive. Therefore, we have to maintain face this year against the Capital clan.
We might even carry a slight edge over Capital this year because faculty can now be included in the total. Yes, we expect to see even the most weak-kneed faculty donating those red corpuscles.
Show Capital who the real vampires are!

High School Day, A preview of ccollege
By Jeff Gale
Saturday will be a busy day all over the Otterbein campus. In addition to the Capital-Otterbein rivalry and High School Band Day, it is also time for the annual fall High School Day. High school juniors and seniors throughout the Ohio area have been invited to attend the event.
Registration for the event begins at 11 a.m. on Saturday. As registration is going on, students and parents will be invited to take tours of the campus given by the Host and Tour staff.
Students and their parents will move to Cowan Hall where President Kerr will give an opening address followed by a performance by Opus Zero, Otterbein's swing choir.
Most of the afternoon will be spent in different sessions, chosen by the students, designed to answer many questions that beginning students and their parents might have. Each student
will meet with faculty members from areas of their choice. In these sessions faculty members will give a short overview of what is expected in that area of study, a little about the department and introduce themselves.
Students and parents will then attend two of three sessions offered later in the afternoon. These sessions include Admissions and Financial Aid, Frank StaJer; Student Life, Bob Gatti; and Career Planning/ Cooperative Education, Marleen Suter and Frank Mitchell.
The day is highlighted by a complimentary dinner at the Campus Center followed by free tickets to the Otterbein-Capital football game. Since Saturday is also High School Band Day, participants in the High School Day will also get a chance to see the high school band performance before the game.
Psych offices moved, King Hall new home
By Jenni Linker
For many reasons the psychology offices have been moved to the lower level of King Hall.
According to Larry Cox, assistant psychology professor, the nursing program and home ec department needed more space. Dean Hamilton asked if the psychology department could move to King hall. This was logical because the psychology department worked closely with the preschool which was located in King Hall. They had planned the move for last year. The psych department considered the move because they were interested in a more non-traditional setting.
They now house three offices, three working labs, and a non-traditional classroom, with lab space in the rear.
"We're very interested in people knowing where we are," said Cox.
"There are many other groups on campus which have the need, at times, for a more relaxed, informal, nontraditional setting," Cox said, "and we can allow those groups to use, say, our relaxation lab for a special program."
Cox said that the department is planning an open house for sometime later in the fall, once they are really moved in and feel completely settled.

Enrollment figures in Continuing Education have remained steady; 506 adult students are attending classes this term, according to a report released by Director of Continuing Education, Greg Longacre, Friday. Last year's enrollment was 504.
"There were 392 degree-oriented students, representing 24 different majors; 60 percent of the students are in evening classes," Longacre said.
A majority of the students are employed in full or part-time jobs and two-thirds of the students are female, the report revealed.
Degrees in Business Administration and bachelor of science attract the greater number of students; 108 are in nursing degree programs, 99 in the associate degree. Other departments represented are computer science, 38; psychology, 20; and chemistry, 11. There are 193 students who are nondegree or undeclared majors. Sixtyone percent of the students who are freshmen, 14 percent sophomores, 13 percent juniors, and 12 percent are seniors.
Thirty percent of the students live in Westerville; 47 percent are from surrounding areas of Columbus, 10 percent from Worthington, five percent each from Dublin and Gahanna, three percent, Upper Arlington, and two percent, Galena.
To qualify for the program, students must have been away from full time study for one year or more, or have completed a degree. Students can carry no more than 11 credit hours each quarter. Sixteen ad ult students attend full time.
ADP elects
By Bernadine Edwards
The Student Advisory Committee of Continuing Education elected Jo Ducey chairperson at the first meeting of the fall term.
Other officers elected were: assistant chairperson, Lillian Larson; secretary, Corrine Jordan; and treasurer, Barbara Overholser.
Organized in 1982 under the Director of Continuing Education, Greg Longacre, the Advisory Committee comprises 10 members selected by the director. They represent as many segments of the adult student population as possible in any area that effects Continuing Education. - Members' criteria is that they must care about the college and their fellow students, reflect a positive approach to students' problems and concerns, and conduct themselves in a manner that would reflect credit on themselves, the committee, and the college.
Projects completed since the committee's inception have been a Homecoming Luncheon , organizing the Alumni Association and a Faculty Appreciation Luncheon.
The Advisory Committee plans other social and cultural activities for the students. "All students in Continuing Education should feel free to offer suggestions to the committee," Longacre said
Other members are: Carol Brown, Tom Graham, Loretta Parimuha, Betty Schulte, Tom Starr, and Bernadine Edwards.

Faculty teach through showing
By Lora Robinson
The Faculty Art Show is on display in the Battelle Fine Arts Center Lobby from now until October 16. The show is a joint effort of all the art faculty.
The works on display were selected by each individual from their most recent work.
Dave Stichweh, photography instructor, developed his own way to make "Panoramic Photographs." "Panoramic cameras are not made anymore and are too expensive. But the long, horizontal photograph has always interested me," Stichweh said.
Stichweh used a movie projector lens, which has a cinema scope, on the enlarger. This projected a long image which gave him the panoramic view he wanted. It stretched the image changing the spacial relationships.
"I went through my negative files and sorted out the ones I thought would work," Stichweh said. He has always been fascinated with old things which are reflected in his photographs.
Al Germanson, art professor, also has photographs on display. His photographs are of a very different subject matter. His photographs reflect the shape relationships and sculptural qualities he saw in the side canyons along the Grand Canyon. "l chose to shoot the side canyons because the downward cutting made very narrow and very vertical indentations in the rock which produced more intimate photographs," Germanson said. "The canyon was too wide and too big," to achieve this effect. Germanson enjoys running the river and a large part of the appeal are the shapes the river creates which are very apparent in his photographs "I hope the show would show that there is more appeal
to running the river than the river itself."
Just a step away from photography are art chairman,_ Earl Hassenpflug's drawings. Hassenpflug is taking a more academic approach to the subject. He says he is dealing more with structure and relatively more realism than five years ago.
"This I think is a growing penoct, nothing I will pursue over a long period of time," Hassenpflug said. Hassenpflug works from a live model and has done so every week for several years. He uses these models as a reference to seeing. "I try in my drawings and paintings to respect and reveal the dignity of each individual."
All of Hassenpflug's drawings are done in charcoal or conte crayon.
Joanne Stichweh, art history and craft instructor, chose two different mediums for the show. The first, a painting, reflects the continuing interest she has in Matisse. She has spent the last 15 years working from Matisse, probing those things that interest her in Matisse. These paintings look different from what we are accustomed to seeing in her work. "In the past I have used bright colors and saturated color. In this series of paintings I've done something I don't usually do. I deliberately set up a problem for myself," Stichweh said. She set up a limited pallet and worked with more subdued color. "I wanted to .make some kind of change, but still connected to my past work." The shapes became more rectalinier instead of curvalinear. The planes of color that emerge are interesting in the play of spatial relationships. "I want to maintain a relationship with Matisse but I want to move beyond it," Stichweh said.
3-D's and I I l's top summer flops
By Bill Harnsberger
Hollywood made the most money in movie history this summer. But, as audiences found out, Hollywood also made the most flops in movie history this summer. The list of cinematic bombs is almost endless, but I've narrowed them down to the five 'most disappointing summer films of 1983.'
'Spacehunter-Advcntures in the Forbidden Zone' attempted to rival 'Return of the Jedi' in the sci-fi category with its 3-D effects, but was zapped to smithereens in the process. Its limp story line, sloppy acting and headache producing 3-D effects made the journey into the 'forbidden zone' an adventure in boredom.
'Superman III' pitted the man of steel against treacherous villains, his own self and the audience's attention span. This third Superman movie failed on three counts; unbelievable special effects, too many sub-plots and Richard Pryor's detached presence in the movie. Superman failed us this time.
'Jaws 3-D' is the first movie I have ever been offended by. The story (this time at 'Sea World' in Florida - uh, huh, sure!) was so boring and ridiculous that I kept saying to myself, 'Who cares?!' Add to that the fact that the 3-D effects were used very little. and even the mechanical shark looked confused, and you've got one helluva bad movie!
'Octopussy,' the umpteenth James Bond movie, used stunts so incredible 1 could almost hear the director saying, "Okay, bring in the stuntman!" All the essential elements for a Bond film were included in 'Octopussy' with the exception of a story to hold it together.
The few traces of a plot were simply devices to set up the next chase scene or death defying stunt. This time around, James Bond was a little too invincible.
Finally, 'The Survivors' made idiots out of Robin Williams and Walter Matthau. Williams plays an unemployed executive who, after getting mugged, joins a wilderness survival camp. Matthau plays Williams' sidekick who does little except roll his eyes and do his 'slow burning' act. 'The Survivors' is a very slow movie that simply wastes talent.
Other summer sloppers that weren't as big or expensive as the above five included 'Cheech and Chong's Still Smoking,' 'Yellowbeard,' 'Porky's 11,' 'Private School,' 'Class,' 'Easy· Money,' 'Staying Alive,' 'Metalstorm-The Destruction of Jarod Syn' (give me a break!), 'Yor,' 'Curse of the Pink Panther,' 'Chained Heat' and 'Hercules.' Whew!
Hopefully, this summer's string of box office flops will teach writers, directors and distributors to select and refine their films with more care, because next year, audiences may not be so eager to see them.
Art dept. reveals talent
By Dave Williams
Part of a liberal arts education as we are told, is to become more cultured individuals. At Otterbein, the Art department has a long history of providing its students with the ability to learn about many forms of art.
The study of art at Otterbein dates back to "before the 1900s," according to Earl C. Hassenpflug , chairman of the Visual Arts department. Hassenpflug added that "Otterbein was one of the earlier schools to operate a studio, which was also before the turn of the century."
The department gained strength, Hassenpflug believes, after World War II when Lillian Frank taught at Otterbein. "She brought art history and studio experience to Otterbein, allowing the program to include history, painting and sculpture work."
The Art department has maintained itself well. "Enrollment has been steady for the past 28 years," notes Hassenpflug. There are currently 30 to 35 art majors.
The Art department is not only open to art majors though. "Some students discover that they have talents that they have not previously tapped," said David Stichweh, director of the Learning Resource Center and photography instructor. Stichweh recalled that a common saying in his art course is "I never knew I could do this. Many theatre, home economics and some science students find it beneficial to take art courses," he
added.
One of the department's highlights is a representative collection of West African art. It is kept in open storage on the second floor of Battelle. The latest addition to the collection came from Dr. Fred Judy. It is a woman's sacred society mask and includes several baskets. Judy's parents and her uncle went from Otterbein to Sierra Leone (where the mask is from) in 1903.
The Art department appears to have a strong history but what about the students of today?
One of those students is, junior visual arts major, Jim LeMaster. LeMaster feels that by studying art, "You learn to be yourself. Sometimes people won't like your art," LeMaster said, "but in the department you learn to express yourself. Some of the great artists that we study now were ridiculed for their works." Many graduates have even served as missionaries, according to Hassenpflug. Still others venture into art education, business and production, art sales and art therapy. Hassenpflug added, "some students have become college professors and academic deans. One-sixth of our students go to graduate school and remain in the academic area."
One final phase of the Art department's program is the faculty exhibitions in which each member of the staff is encouraged to express themselves through their art. One such exhibit is currently on display in Battelle.

week the president of Capital
versity confiscated the "trophy" and Saturday night's kickoff between returned it to Lynn Turner, past presiCapital and Otterbein marks the 58th time the Crusaders and Cardinals will meet in the gridiron war.
Many people may think "war" is a strong term to use in such a meaningless matter. Or is it? According to Gene Slaughter, Capital's head football coach since 1961, The Cap-Otter game is one of only three great rivalries in the state of Ohio; the others being Miami (Ohio) vs. University of Cincinnati, and Ohio State vs. Michigan.
Since 1927, the Cardinals have played the Crusaders every year, including 1944 in which Capital and Otterbein squared off twice in the same season. The Cardinals won both contests. The Crusaders have had the upper hand thus far in the 57 game series, as Capital holds a 29-26-2 record against Otterbein. The longest winning streak in the series is held by Capital as they controlled the series from 1964-1974, winning 11 straight games. Otterbein is currently enjoying their longest winning streak of the series as they have won the last four games.
The coaches in Saturday night's game both see the game as one of the great rivalries in college football.
Rich Seils, Otterbein's head coach since 1974, holds a 6-1-1 record versus the Crusaders. Seils said that through eight years of Cap-Otter battles the rivalry "is just as intense and just as spirited." Seils feels the series is so heated because of the proximity of the two institutions; also a lot of players on both sides know each other and have played against each other in high school and now in college.
Coach Slaughter said, "The opportunity to keep tradition this long is a credit to the teams and institutions." Slaughter, who is 14-7-1 against the Cardinals, said there is no special pre-

pa_ration he puts his team through pnor to the Otterbein matchup. The incentive of "just having the opportunity to play in one of the greatest football rivalries is enough," said Slaughter.
The Crusader's coach feels last year's Otterbein come-from-behind victory, and the 1961 clash were the most exciting in his coaching· career.
The Crusader's coach feels last year's Otterbein come-from-behind victory, and the 1961 clash were the most exciting in his coaching career. In that '61 game Otterbein was undefeated and winning 17-0 at halftime; the second half was all Capital, as they won 23-17.
Besides the two teams and coaches, both university student bodies, not to mention the alumni, get caught up in the rivalry.
Several of Otterbein's faculty members graduated from Capital U niversity and have had a chance to be on both sides of the rivalry.
Dr. P. Rexford Ogle, a 1950 graduate, said that when he attended Capital the veterans were returning home from WW II and both campuses were
pretty conservative. Though conservative, Ogle said a lot of painting went on at both campuses by the rival school. During the years of Capital, Ogle said Otterbein won every year except his junior year, when Capital was victorious 7-6. Though destruction of campuses has calmed down, Ogle feels, "The intensity is as strong as ever."
According to Gary Tirey, '64 graduate, the rivalry was "a lot more intense" during the early 60's. Tirey recollected that a lot of C's and O's appeared on buildings and sidewalks of both campuses prior to the game.
Tirey said a lady grabbed the ball and hid it between her legs underneath her dress.
The Otterbein band director remembered several incidents during his student days at Capital. In the 1961 game during the third quarter of play the football was overthrown and landed in the crowd next to the band. Tirey said a lady grabbed the ball and hid it between her legs underneath her dress. The game was delayed IO minutes as the referee searched the crowd. Following the defeat of Otterbein, the Capital Band placed the stolen ball in the band room as a trophy. The next

dent of Otterbein.
"I think the rivalry is healthy" and is more constructive than it was, said Tirey. Though he lives in the Bexley area and has a lot of friends employed by Capital, Tirey said he will be rooting for Otterbein on Saturday night.
John Ludlum, Capital University class of '72, has another perspective toward the Capital-Otterbein rivalry. Ludlum helped defeat the Cardinals in 1971 at a Cap-Otter debate held in Cowan Hall. To this day the silver cup, which was awarded to the winning team, is located in the trophy case of Capital.
Ludlum's father, Dr. Thomas Ludlum, director of florensics at Capital, said the rivalry in the early 70's was a lot closer. "O"s and "C"s were burnt into opposing football fields, there were campus-wide pep rallies, and painted graffitti. "The game was usually pretty anti-climactic after the build-up of the week before." said Ludlum.
Dr. David Jones will be a spectator at his first Capital-Otterbein game Saturday night. Jones, who taught part time at Capital last year, is in his first teaching year in Otterbein's business department. Jones thinks the close geographic connection between the two institutions, similar sized student bodies, and the quality of students makes the Cap-Otter rivalry a "healthy" one.
To some peopie it's just a game; to others it is a yearly war. A lot of peopl from Capital and Otterbein don't car if "their" team is winless all year. Th only game of the season people car about is Otterbein verus Capital.' Beat Capital!

The Yell ow Jackets got off to a fast start in Wednesday's game, moving to a 3-1 lead by early in the second half. Otterbein's only goal up to this point was a beautiful head shot by freshman John Barret, on a pass from Lorenzo Quiroga

The Cardinal's top finisher was sophomore Scott Alpeter.
This year's team features 5 returning lettermen including 1982 AllOAC selection Todd Corwin and senior captain Steve Rush.
22 teams competed in the invitational, which wa s won by Ohio University. West Virginia finished second.
When asked about the race, head coach Dave L e hman said "We usually don't push v ery hard in the first race, but I was still not real happy with our showing." Last y ear the Cardinals finished eighth.
Lehman believes the Cardinals are capable of doing very well in '83, but in order to do so, they must get strong efforts from all 8 members of the squad.
Lehman said that "With a small team such as ours, the key is for everyone to run well at the same time, the only thing we may lack is depth."
Looking at the individual runner, Lehman is very pleased with the efforts of sophomore Alan Campbell, whose recent times have been over 2 minutes faster than those from last year.
Baldwin-Wallace looks to be the front runner in the OAC this year.
Lehman believes that his team is in a group of three other teams that will be fighting for the 2, 3 and 4th positions. Those schools mentioned were Mount Union, Wittenberg, Capital and Marietta.
The other members of this year's team are Mike Ginn, Kevin Chambers, Keith Froggatt and Dave Mclntytre.
The next meet will be this Saturday with Wittenberg, Capital, and Denison. The race will begin at 11 a.m. at Sharon Woods Park.
