Arts Ce nter Delayed Yet Again; No Move 'Til Feb.

By Brad Manier

Set for an original completion date last July, the Battelle Fine Arts Center has been p}agued by delays now edging into six m?nths, with the most recent complet101'. "aim" set for the first weekend m February, according to Wood:ow R. Macke, vice president for busmess affairs. Prior to the most recent delav, classes were scheduled to begfn in the Center las� Wedn�sday.

Initially the job was 1ll-destmed by the architect's $400,000 o�errun. The architecture firm of WnghtKeske-Kritschgau presented the college an estimate 0f $900,000 to completely renovate the building, but after compiling an estimate based on contractor's figures, returned with a revised figure of $1.3 million, only $100,000 shy of the $1.4 million cost of the entire_ project, which includes lai:idscapmg, the construction of a parkmg lot, the removal of the tennis courts and the demolition of Lambert Hall.

The Board of Trustees, according to Macke, was "irate" and the architect was told to get the estimate down. Several cuts were made, said Macke, but none "affecting the performance of those within." Among the cuts was a sculpting area, which later received a grant specifically for its construction.

Macke termed the present state of affairs "discouraging," but said the job is very close to bei !l g finished. He cited two maJor reasons for the delay. One was a dispute between two contractors Publications

concerning seating in the auditorium, the other, and more chronic problem, is mismanagement by the general contractor, Zarbaugh and Associates,: Inc.

According to Macke, the dispute between the heating contractors, Limbach Co., and the seating contractor, Kindell and Associates, arose over the misplacement of air ducts on the auditorium floor.

Macke said the companies haggled over a solution for several weeks before it was settled in midDecem ber. Peirce Williams of the Limbach said there "was no big delay, and that the problem had been in a revision of the drawings."

During the dispute, Kindell did not order the seats. They had not

Enrollment Drops, May Plummet

By Stacy Reish

Otterbein's total enrollment declined iall term, reflecting a nationwide trend in lower higher education admissions.

Dean of Admissions Morris K. Briggs cited statistics showing that 62 per cent of Ohio high school graduates continued the1_r educat10n this year as compared with 68 per cent the previous year. Consistent with this drop, Otterbein's enrollment fell to 1585 from 1610 recorded last year. These figures include the Adult Degree Program and Grant Nursing students.

Projected figures for the 1990's indicate a 30-35 per cent decrease

career planning opportunities.

"It is the responsibility of the student to understand the opportunities of the indirect aspects of education," said Briggs.

Realizing that many students change their career goals either between high school and college or while in school, an "undecided" box has been added to the admissions application. Ot�erwise, Briggs foresees no maJor changes m recruiting or admissions procedures at Otterbein.

One incident of minor concern was a "higher than usual" number

of applicants who paid th� $100 pre-registration fee but did not attend. In answer to a survey sent to these prospective students, 50 per cent who replied, cited finances as the major problem. Anoth�r 3 per cent said they were plannmg to start classes at a later date.

In keeping with Otterbein's philosophy of "seeking a s_tudent able to contribute to the liberal arts within a Christian tradition," Briggs said that one of his_ g�als for the admissions procedure 1s to work within this plan to become more efficient."

Babbling Passion

Isaac Bashevis Singer, the winner of the 1978 Nobel Prize in Literature.recently made a statement in an interview to the effect that it was possible for a man to become passionately involved with almost anything - stamps, books, dominoes, triominoes, anything you like. He said it better, of course, and the failure to locate the exact quotation is irksome. But the point is made, nonetheless. Man is capable of putting nearly his whole life into one thing, regardless of what other people may think, and it is for this reason that things happen, be they good or bad.

Woody Hayes, whose face and name have seen print and air waves more recently than ever before, had a passion that has helped create another passion - or at least helped highlight it.

Hayes' was football and winning. He helped put OSU on the map as a football powerhouse. But in more recent years he altered its identification from a powerhouse to the place where Woody Hayes coached, that fanatical, old man who closed practices, ranted on the sidelines, tore yardmarkers from their place, helmets from their heads, people from their senses. And as several journalists have recently and biasly betrayed, Woody Hayes became the object for their focus. They speak of him as the man who made football exciting. Of course, their words do not condone his action, but their tone bespeaks their sympathy and their sycophantic advocacy for the most recent or at least more recently American love. Action. Hype. Mania.

Woody Hayes and his journalists and the journalists who cover more serious topics all betray the problem. Hype can be defined as giving the superficial meaninglessness precedence over valid issues. For many, football under Woody Hayes took the backseat and what counted was his action or his words. He no longer spoke to people through the action on the field. He did it through the words of the writer and the tubes.

The media lives to create drama today. It used to recreate it.

Sentimentality is couched in serious words and what for Hayes was an outburst with serious consequences becomes for millions of people, particularly Columbusites, a journey into the pabulumatic world of people with nothing to do but run up to Upper Arlington and gain quotes from Hayes' neighbors so lacking in importance, that one forgets what is -: important we mean. Hayes' mistake becomes our entry into the sucklmg world of Kaye Kessler and his cohorts. Let them babble; today that's what we all do. America's new passion -a passion for babble.

''Emerging Women" Meets Requirements Emerging Women Assisted

By Ramona Huff

That middle-aged woman carrying books around the campus may not be a professor - she may be a student. And she may be an "Emerging Woman." An "Emerging Woman" is one who participates in a stimulating seminar offered in the Adult Degree Program (ADP) at Otterbein. These "Emerging Women" are no longer content just caring for families and participating in volunteer work. They feel a need for something more. Some still in their 20's, some are in their 30's and 40's, and some are in their 50's and 60's.

This term 80 per cent of the 277 ADP students are women, according to Jack H. Dickey, director of placement and career counseling. Many have no definite plans. One ADP student, Esme Masters, said, "I was just not getting what I should out of life. I needed to feel enthusiastic about something-."

Seeing a need for vocational counseling for these women, Dickey began to formulate a plari to help women who were returning to school. He enlisted the help of

vocational coun selor, Mary Lynne Musgrove. As a result of their

�? s�ite of the years they spent as carmg mothers, thoughtful wives and community volunteers' giving so much to others that they've lost themselves, most of them are highly motivated and earn either an "A" or a "B" in the course," Musgrove said.

By the end oi the course the women are feeling renewed confidence in themselves and are delighted to have a sense of direction. Johnnie Hayden, an ADP student who took the course, said, "I found out I can do it! I love school!"

Musgrove has found that among these women there is no consensus about the proper role of women. In discussion women are able to understand how others manage and then find their own solution. Her goal is to help them liberate

Musgrove said she has two rriain objectives in the course in addition to that of teaching English: to help the women discover how to structure a career, and to create a climate what they might have missed by not staying in dorms and meeting new friends.

-1. Go to college. Hayden researched the vocation of occupational therapist for her term paper and now has the confidence to work toward that as a goal. "It's something I could do," Hayden said. "I'd enjoy getting people to do something they'd like to do. Maybe it would only be to help someone to have the confidence to get on a bus, or to persuade someone to take the French courses he always wanted to take. I'd like motivating people to do something to make their life worth living."

-3. Change the kind of volunteer work they do. Esme volunteers for the Columbus Literary Council now, and enjoys teaching the wives of foreign students at Ohio State University to speak English.

-4. Get technical training. Some go into something like interior design.

-5. Go directly to the job market. One woman convinced an employer to create a better job than those that existed, just for her.

The women who take the course are different when they finish. Esme is more enthusiastic about everything she does. She said, "I have more capability than I was aware of." She won first place in the Quiz and Quill's prose contest last year and plans to continue writing and taking writing courses.

Hayden said, "The course helped me to g:_ather everything together. I'm _goin_g to get a degree."

Linda Davis, a full-time secretary at Otterbein, took the course and found that when she was finished that she felt proud to be a woman. Some time in the future she'll pursue her education further. "I'm not putting secretaries down," she said. "But I am capable of more than that."

The course does seem to accomplish the goal of providing a climate similar to that in a women's dormitory. The classes continue to get together socially after they have finished the course. They talk and • eat together periodically; they publish newsletters and send their favorite recipes to Musgrove. Each woman gets a bit nosta"lgic when she talks about her class. Davis wistfully said, "I wish there were an "Emerging Woman II."

Macke also cited Zarbaugh's failure to coordinate the general construction as a major problem. There have been various problems between Zarbaugh and other contractors, according to Macke.

Did you know we can find a breast cancer as small as the head of a pin?

Such a tiny cancer can almost always be cured. A cancer of this size can best be found by mammography -a technique of low-dose breast x-rays. Using far less radiation than ever before, mammography can detect a cancer long before a lump can be felt. While the cancer students who volunteer to serve as tour guides and/or lunch companions for prospective students is still highly curable.

Zod (Terence Stamp), who are banished into the Phantom Zone (a weird twilight dimension where criminals are sent by means of an ingenious projection ray) will be the nemesis of Superman in the sequel, "Superman II," which is already over 50 per cent completed.

Not every woman needs mammography. But for those women over 50 or with special reasons to be and their families who visit campus. As an "H & T" member concerned, like those with symptoms or a strong family you are usually asked to help out history of breast cancer, mammography can find a tiny cancer before it has spread.

What do Faculty Do? Education

Faculty Share Ideas in Seminar

By Lois McCullen

For vacationing faculty, a part of the interim included a four-day workshop in the LRC.

The workshop, led this year by Dr. Paul Redditt, centered around Persig's Zenand theArt of Motorcycle Maintenance. Selected faculty members gave presentations which led to discussions looking at the book from different perspectives.

Faculty members found the seminar "stimulating" and enjoyable. "There were some very provocative presentations, very much to the point, important to philosophical questions and concerns," commented Dr. Jim Recob, of the Religion and Philosophy Department.

The sessions have been a part of the interim for five years. Chosen a� the Integrative Studies Faculty Interim Seminar, the meetings have engaged in topics on the nature of man.

Beginning with resources offcampus, guest speakers led discus sions on the nature of man and on ethics. A decision to make use of on-campus persons followed, and seminar topics cho�en by interested faculty members have included Stevenson's Seven Theories, Non-Western thought and recent

scientific advances.

The Project for Institutional Renewal through the Improvement of Teaching (PIRIT) began last December offering workshops on creativity and learning, and this year worked in cooperation with the Integrative Studies Department.

William Hamilton, chairman of the I.S. Department, suggested that Redditt lead this particular seminar. Redditt then urged faculty to participate, with the special presentations from Hamilton,Norman Chaney, Tom Hartman, Margaret Hartman, and Larry Cox.

Redditt says this helped faculty to "pursue creativity" and many found it useful in their own teaching.

Although Redditt says he did not achieve the "variety hoped for," the success of the seminar is evident in the 20-25 participants.

"Thinking outside of my field was very positive," said Lyle Barkhymer.

The objective was "to raise questions and think," according to Redditt. Hamilton said the biggest advantage is that "faculty members can talk about ideas" rather than curriculum, the budget and the business aspects of the college.

Redditt summed up by recognizing the results of the seminar as a "tremendous respect for the intelligence of my colleagues who offered expertise in different areas, and just downright fun!"

Placement Office Relocates

December 14 marked the move of ;he Placement and Career Development and Continuing Education offices from the Administrative Building to the basement of Towers Hall, offering greater availability to students.

The offices had been contemplating a move fo r some time due to a lack of space in the old office. The relocation of the Public Relations office left open quarters for the offices.

The two offices house Jack

Dickey, Mary Lynne Musgrove and two secretaries. The additional space allows a career library and interviewing rooms for visiting recruiters.

The phones for the offices will be: Placement and Career Development - Ext. 456 and Continuing Education - Ex·t. 356.

• More time spent in student counseling.

• Reducing the ratio of student to teacher in classes from the present 17-1 ratio that Otterbein has tried to have to a 14-1 ratio.

• Providing for the students to have clinical or field experience in a 1-1 ratio before doing their student teaching.

• Providing a room that will be set aside for teaching and demonstrating teaching materials.

• More evaluating of students with a follow-up. "We are gathering the information," Addington said, "but it needs to be fed back into the system."

As these improvements are made, Addington anticipates that there will be financial problems. "When you reduce the ratio of student to teacher, it costs money," he said.

Addington is enthusiastic about the program, saying that "we think the job in meeting the standards will be difficult but we are optimistic."

The job that the state of Ohio is doing in raising the standards for teacher education is having a farreaching effect according to Addington. "Ohio's program is more comprehensive than most ;state's," he said.

Gold Medalist at Otterbein

A 12-member American Gold gymnastics team performed an exhibition December 8, 1978,in the Rike Center. Leading the team was fifteen-year-old Marcia Frederick, the only U.S. woman ever to win a gold medal in international competition. Frederick won the gold medal on the uneven bars in the World Gymnastics Championships in France in October. She is now considered the No. 1 female performer in the world on the uneven bars.

Another team member was Jackie Casello, 12, who qualified for the final World Gymnastics Team trial but was ruled ineligible because of her age. Casello, from Milford, Conn., was only 11 years old when she qualified for the United States Junior National Team, and won the vault competition of the Junior Olympic Nationals.

During the month of December, the team also performed in Brockton, Mass. and Houston, Tex.

As though suspended in the black of space, Marcia Frederick arches on the uneven parallel bars during a recent performance at Otterbein. Frederick is the only woman ever to win a gold medal in international competition.
