Cultural Music Course Added
By Jo-Anne Ball
The Honors Program, introduced two years ago at Otterbein College, will include a new course next year in the continuous expansion toward the realization of a full Honors Program.
The course, "Music in World Cultures," was the selection from the new course proposal entries submitted to the Honors Program Task Force Committee for consideration. Dr. Lyle Barkhymer, associate professor of music, is the creator of the course.
According to Dr. William T. Hamilton, chairperson of the Integrative Studies Department, and chairperson of the Honors Program Task Force Committee, "The committee received five excellent proposals for new honors courses. The decision was difficult but I believe this course to be an exciting addition to the Honors Program courses."
The task force committee that met
May 12, to consider the proposal en
shared by faculty and some students that Otterbein did not offer enough challenges to the intellectual mind, Hamilton commented. A program was designed to provide this intellectual challenge and stimulation, he added.
"The Honors Program is a recruiting tool to attract the best high school students," he stated.
Hamilton said that eligibility of a student for the Honors Program is determined on the basis of high school record and SAT or ACT test scores.
Otterbein Scholars that ar.e recipients of Merit Scholarships, awarded not on need but previous accomplishments, become a source for honors courses, he said.
Any student who earns a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or better and has the recommendation of an Otterbein faculty member �ay be admitted, according to Hamilton. An invitation to participate in the Honors
, Program can be issued to a student as
music. Past performances have included the Octoberfest band, RazzMat.azz. Spittin' Image, and McGuffy Lane.
The committee hopes everyone comes out to enjoy the music, frisbee play, and the weather. There will be entertainment and taped music between acts.
The schedule of performers is as follows:
3-3:25 pm Lisa Jones
3:30-3:55 pm
5:55-7:10
7:15-7:40 pm
7:45-8:10 pm Noell Reeves

Isolation Cited As Key In Enrollment Declin e
By Dan Hughes
"We want students to make informed decisions on their futures. " Those were the words of Dr. Harriet Fayne, one of the members of the Retention Committee, an organization set up to deal with the problem of declining enrollment at Otterbein.
According to Fayne there was one important issue that was raised repeatedly.
"It was the issue of coordination," she said. "We have a lot of services on campus. both formal and informal, to help and inform students -in getting them over the hurdles. But sometimes the internal communication about these services isn't as good as it needs to be so that students get the services they need as quickly as they need."
Fayne said the intensity of the 1 O week term contributes to the problem.
"If a student has a problem in week five of the term and we don't find out about the problem until week seven, then it gets very difficult to get to that student before he goes home for the interterm," she explained.
She said that the data available to the com(llittee shows that most students tend to make the decision not to return when they are at home over winter or summer break. "It's a very long period of time," she said. "We
don't have the chance to council the student and help them feel more positive about the school."
A recommendation was mq1de to coordinate campus services quickly so that students can be helped when financial, academic, or other problems arise. It was decided that funds are needed in order to set up a position to institute that coordination among the campus center, student affairs reading study' center, chaplain, aca� demic advisors, and various other groups open to students.
Fayne said plans are in the making for drawing up a grant proposal for obtaining outside funding for a research project on campus. The project would assist the group in obtaining data about why students decide to stay or leave. "If you withdraw during the interterm then we don't know a lot about you or why you're leaving. We want to develop a data base for the college and develop a program that will help encourage studen.ts that have good reasons for staying to stay, and bridge the gap for those that should either be at another school or out in the working world."
"This is not a program designed to make students stay who want to leave," Fayne assured. "We want students to make informed decisions."

Lottery Time for a Change?
It is often said that a man's home is his castle . .. but that certain1y isn't the case at Otterbein.
Once again it is time for us to gather up our room contracts and squabble and fight to put together a workable social pattern so that we can participate in the "fair" lottery system of picking a room.
The basic idea is a good one. In principle the notion of having everyone draw a number and then a selection based on the order of all those numbers, is a fair one and should be organized and simple enough. In practice, every year the contusion, unorganization, and often even hard feelings mount around the room selection process.
All too often an individual or group of individuals may find it difficult to establish a firm social living arrangement. When those arrangements are finally finalized, we often hear of defections, last minute switches, "hangings, ,, etc. This not only creates hard feelings, but adds tension to an already contusing system.
For the past several years, we have seen the same problems arise: lack of communication about the process, time conflicts when the most important member of the group can not be present, confusion about the room contracts (this year they didn't remind us about the fact that everyone in
the pattern must havehis contract in hand to pick-leading to mad dashes back to the dorm or frantic searches for missing members.)
On Tuesday evening, the first number to pick was 16-

I trust you will allow me to express my appreciation to everyone at Otte rthis was because·the first 15 people were not present. The At
next number was in the mid-20's.
Perhaps the fault lies also in the students. It is after all perhaps we should do more research and ask our housingmore questions about the process if there are any problems. All too often students don't take the idea of picking a room and a roommate seriously until it is too late to do anything in a calm, rational manner.
Perhaps it is also time we took a long hard look at the entire room selection process. Are students satisfied with the choice of rooms and roommates, or do they feel frustrated by the system? Are there really problems with times surrounding the "picking" process, or do students just taks a lackadaisical attitude toward the whole process?
These questions are ones which need to be cleared up before the mad dash begins again next May. If nothing is done we can look forward to continued disorganization, contus ion, and the inevitable hard feeling which are generated by a system which has far too many short-comings.
Commencement

Swank obtained a doctorate degree in agriculture economics from The Ohio State University along with bachelor of science and master of science d!'lgrees.
In 1979, Swank received a Certificate of Merit from the Beta Chapter, Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity and also an award for Distinguished Service to Agriculture from the Ohio Grain Feed and Fertilizer Association. He was also honored as Person of the year
in Vocational Education for Ohio and

Guest Policy
By Greg Stemm
Everyone is aware· of the policies concerning visitation as far as members of the opposite sex are concerned, but, did you know that there are visitation policies concerning members of the same sex here at Otterbein?
The policies concern resident hall guests and the-entire guest policy for th e college. According to the guest policy set forth by the RA handbook a "guest" is anyone whot"is invited by a college department to visit the campus for a specific reason" or "a person who is an invited guest of a resident student (another resident student, a nonresident student, or a non-student).
The policy continues by saying that a �u.."''- o\ an \nd\\l\dua\ , ..s\den'- student may stay with that student for a
'Not Black
maximum of two nights with the stipulation that the guest must register with the individual's resident assistant. The policy was established for security and emergency reasons.
If a guest wishes to stay for longer than three days and two nights then three main steps must be taken by the individual:
1.eA special approval by the heade resident upon consultation with the Associate Dean for Student Development (Dave Peters),
2.eA five-dollar charge for the nexte two nights.
3.eA ten-dollar charge per night fore the remaining three nights.
Under no circumstances may a guest spend more than seven nights with a resiaent in a resiaent hall.
and White'
The implications of the policy may not immediately be evident. The guest policy of Otterbein says in fact that if a friend of yours from home or a fraternity or sorority brother or sister wants to spend the night with you, he/ she has to pay the college, and it is against the policies of Otterbein for him/her to spend more th'an a week at a time.
According to JoAnne Van Sant, Dean of Student Affairs, the policies were put together as a way of insuring fairness to the students who are paying rent to the college to live in the resident halls.
"We need some way to clarify when a person is living in the resident hall (as opposed to who is a guest of the ·ecollege or ofthe individual residents),"e said Vansant.e
During the course of this year there have been several incidents which have challenged the guest policy. This was especially true in Hanby Hall where the question was raised by a group of girls as to the time a guest had to leave the dorm before she was considered an "over night guest". There is no specific time set by the present policy.
Also in question is "what happens when a guest spends two nights, then misses a night, and then spends two more nights?" In effect, the guest is obeying the rules but is also in· effect "living" in the dorm.
In areas where there is some doubt, the RA has to make the decision as to who is a guest and whq is actu_ally living in the dorm.

Mary Pembroke ls 1 Jack Of All Trades'
By Sue Shipe
As she scurries around the Campus Center and the Quad, this small, darkhaired woman is often mistaken for an Otterbein co-ed. However, she is really Mary Pembroke who holds one of the longest titles on campus. She is officially the Assistant Director of the Campus Center and Student Activities, and the Head Resident of Garst, Scott, and Engel Halls.
This native New Yorker explains that 50 per cent of her duties surround student activities and 50 per cent deal with residence life.
Under student activities, Pembroke is adviser to the Campus Programming Board and Commuter Association, and is coordinator of such events as the Fall Leadership Workshop and Spring Leadership Dessert. Also, she works with general student union management and supervises office workers.
Cover to Co.ver
Pembroke's residence life duties include supervising and training residence assistants, maintaining the Quad, advising the Residence Hall Council and Programming Council, and personal, career and academic student counselling.
This summer, Pembroke will live in Garst Hall and will be the coordinator of the freshmen summer orientation programs.
She is currently under a one-year contract with the college which is up for renewal soon.
Before coming to Otterbein, Pembroke worked as both assistant and acting director of Student Life at Urbana College. She was also taking course work one day a week at Bowling Green State University where she received her Master's degree in College Student Personnel.
Pembroke completed her undergraduate studies at the State University College of Fredonia in New York
state. She received a major in Education and worked as a substitute and remedial reading teacher for one year after her graduation.
After h_er sporadic teaching career, Pembroke decided to attend graduate school and pursue a career that first intere;ted her when she served two years as a Residence Assistant at Fredonia and worked in the Admissions office doing such tasks as academic counselling.
Aft!)r receiving her Master's degree, Pembroke decided to come to Otterbein because the job description offered a variety of experiences. She wanted some different responsibilities above those she had at Urbana.
"I love being close to a city and actually in a city now," Pembroke explained.
She also is enjoying her work at Otterbein. "It's a very warm school," she said. "There's lots of support for ideas from students, and it's easy to
get involved in many areas,"
broke remarked.
"I really like working with the people here," she continued. 'The -only problem is time. It's difficulte balancing student activities, residence hall duties, and time for myself,"e Pembroke concluded as she scurriede off to her next appointment.e

A common complaint of college professors about their students is that these "now people," living only at the moment, have little-developed historical senses. As students know, this
Tour Planned For Cyclists
Otterbein students vyith bicycles have been issued a special invitation by the planners of the Ben Hanby Bicycle Tour, to join this year's ride. The tour is a 15 or 35-mile bicycle ride that takes place Saturday, May 30 at 9 a.m.
"We are planning on having a great time," said John Lohse, co-chairman of this year's event with wife Mary Beth. "The long ride includes a refreshment stop at Galena, and the route is excellent."
Riders can register prior to the ride for $2, or ahead of time for $1 .50 at Westerville Bike Shop, 12 E. Main Street. Participants will receive a ride patch.
A special pre-ride main!enance service will be provided at the high school beginning at 8 a.m. to assist riders with minor equipment problems like soft tires or rusty derailleurs.
"We expect the 35-mile route will appeal to students," said Mary Beth. "It includes some of the nicest biking roads in Delaware County."
The Tour is sponsored by the Westerville Kiwanis and the Westerville Parks and Recreation Department.
really translates into ·"They're· not as old as I am." But if there is any truth in the professional charge, a pleasant remedy is at hand, a book on the "Recent and Readable" shelf in the library, Medieval Calligraphy: It's History and Technique. Sound like unlikely medicine for historical stretching?
Calligraphy is writing, particularly copying. and copying can indeed be a boring business, as most typists regularly attest. But people do the copying, and people, clearly and closely seen, are the best sideshow ·in town. Just picture that bent and aching-backed fellow, a monk he_ was, perched on his backless stool finishing a long, excessively dull tome of Thomas Aquinas', a rascal ·notorious even today for his ability to bore students unmercifully, who, with a stretch, a back-rub, and a moan, sneaked into his formal, beautifully written text the following sentence: "Here ends the second part of the title work of Brother Thomas Aquinas of the Dominican Ord�r; very long, very verbose, and very tedious; thank God, thank God, and again thank God." Oh how many .Otterbein students have finished assignments-; and courses-with the same relieved prayer at their survival! Drogin writes of such people.
Books, hand written, can be works of art· as well as communicators of information, and they can be very valuable. Indeed, so serious was the problem of book-theft at 'one monastery (they had no electronic squealer to point a buzzing finger at library users in the purloining act) that a higher protection was necessary. One librarian, surely as tired as John Becker of counting his losses, added at the
end of a late-medieval Bible this admonition: "If anyone take away [i.e., steal] this book, let him die the death; let him be fried in the pan; let the falling sickness· and fever seize him; let him be broken on the wheel, and hanged. Amen." You wondered what God was doing on his days off in the middle ages? He was watching books.
Medieval printing began w·1tn Gutenberg in the 1450's. In the thousand years preceding this (Drogin begins his history in 400 A.O. for no clear reason), a highly literate society depended upon books produced in the main in monasteries by professional scribes. These talented if often weary monks were more than typists, since their work had an individual flair to it. Drogin traces twelve calligraphic styles (with elaborate illustrations) beg.inning with the Roman Square Capital familar to us all as the style used on Roman monuments from the first century to the sixth.
The life cycle of each calligraphic style seems to have been fairly uniform. Each began as a simple, readable script, easy to copy rapidly and thus useful in a busy world. Middleage for each script set in as soon as the
pressure of time eased a bit, a phenomenon that occurred in quieter moments in history. Then the monks, unhappy at just copying, got fancy. The script gained flair, style - and was slower to reproduce. Old age, ultimately senility, came for a script when writing became drawing and communication became art- As Orogin suggests, one can get e,abora"\e enough to be unreadable. Sounds very modern, doesn't it? The jargon of some of our professions has gotten so inward-turning as to be unfit for public use though it isn't very artistic. Then, back to the middle ages, a new styl_e, simple, common, quickly copied, moved into the vacuum. Another style because a museum piece.
But Drogin does more than trace a fascinating history. His is also a howto book, fit for an age whose libraries can show us how to grow better vegetables, make an atomic bomb, improve our sex lives. How to print as the monks did is not a bad subject. It's more fun than cross-word puzzles. more relaxing than jogging, and more beautiful than modern art. And it's free for the taking.

Dodrill Finds New Meaning In Life
By John Hulkenburg
Late last December, Charles Dodrill, Otterbein's Director of Theatre suffered a heart attack which considerably changed his behavior. He came away with an appreciation of life; something you and I rarely think about.
"Most of us take a lot for granted, but when something serious happens to you, you really stop and ask.yourself, what is really important? You answer, taking good care of yourself!" says Dodrill. "Also, you conclude that your family and friends are extemely important."
Winter term was to have been a very busy period for Charles. He was scheduled for a five week sabbatical in London· and then to return home and direct, "Miss Reardon Drinks A Little." Unfortunately, circumstances changed his plans.
"I was at home one night when I started to suffer pain in both my arms, from the elbows down. I really thought I just had bad circulation. Well, doctors took one look at me and said, "You have had a mild heart attack. Then they stuck a tube in me to see what was going on. They· went into the heart, sprayed die and took pictures and I was awake for the whole thing!" says Dodrill. Doctors discovered that three of his main arteries were more

The Northwestern graduate suffered no damage but did have a rather serious angina attack. What could have caused such an illness?
"Well, back in the early seventies, my cholesterol level wasn't what it should have been, so maybe some of that was still around. Heredity may have played a part also. Six of the nine children in my family have high blood pressure, so we are susceptible to heart attacks. My cardiologist's best estimate though, is emotional stress," says Dodrill.
He decided a year ago that it was time to cut his work load down.some.
"When you spend 70-75 hours a week here, it can be tough." He employed a managing director for the summer theatre and started to limit some of his teaching. Reflecting back now, Charles feels it's a good thing he did.
"For a school of this size to have a progra111 with a national reputation is highly unusual. But, you only get that by doing one thing, you work hard and that work has been tremendously rewarding."
That constant work, on a high level, a high energy type of person, like Dodrill, causes the bood vessels around the heart to restrict and a clogging effect can result..
"That open heart surgery does wonderful things," he said. A ten a inch incision was made just below the neck down beyond the rib cage. Docto� stopped hi'5 hear�, repaired it and made sure plenty of oxygen was coming in. The operation was a success. Yet, that long recuperative process was still ahead.
During that time, Charles became a tremendous walking convert. Just three days after the operation, doc-

Four months after his operation, Charles Dodrill came back to Otterbein with a clean bill of health. There are still those days when he gets tired, but now, ir:istead of going home after a busy day and falling on the sofa, he "puts on his jogging clothes and takes a little walk." How does he feel though, when he's through? "Fantastic."
He now tries to walk five days a week and when it's nice outside, he likes the scenery around the Sharon Woods trail. Through it all, Dodrill, who has spent 23 years at Otterbein, will never forget the expression of concern shown him during his illness.

The native of West Virginia gives a lot of· credit to his wife, Petie, who provided a constant source of encouragement. He feels that the whole ordeal was almost tougher on Petie. Charles and hfs wife have three children, Tracy, Brad and Tricia who obviously showed great support.

Senate Bills
Continued from page 1
The passage of the bills comes after a year of intensive survey and study by the Visitation Sub-Committee, a body of the Campus Services and Regulation Committee.
The Sub-Committee was headedup by Chris EIiertson, a Senior PR major from New Concord. The work of Eilertson and his committee earned him a commendation from the entire Senate.
The bills must now go before the Board of Trustees who ill make a final decision on the policies.

Bob Gatti, director of the Campus Center and chairman of Campus Services and Regulations said that he expects the bills to pass through the Trustees, however.
"We're going ahead with our housing plans as if the bills have been OK'd," said Gatti.
Although there was a group of senators who voted "no" on the bills, there was no discussion and the passage was nearly unanimous
In other Senate news; the first hand count of the year took place over a bill which would clarify the transfer of credits from other universities. The bill was finally resolved by a motion which permits the registrar to make judgements in controversial cases.
Bob Gatti gave a report on the status of the Alcohol Subcommittee
along with the chairman of the now defunct group, Greg Stemm. This year's committee has been disbanded and a new committee from interested students and faculty will be formed next year. Both Gatti and Stemm noted lack of motivation as the reason for the demise of the committee this year.
Also, the college calendar for the 1981-82 school year was approved by a unanimous vote.

Woodruff Chosen
By Craig Merz
Wayne Woodruff ran far ahead of the competition again.
Only this time he was not competing on the track. The senior standout was named the most valuable performer on the track team for the second year in a row. That he won surprised no one.
He won the Ohio Athletic Conference 400 meter intermediate hurdle championship for the second year in a row. The two-time All-American will return to the nationals at the end of this month in the hurdles. He ran the national qualifying time in every meet this year. Woodruff also anchored the mile relay team which is just one-half second from national qualifying.

In the honors courses next year in addition to the new course, "Music in World Cultures," to be taught by Dr. Barkhymer, a section of I.S. 27, a standard Integrative Studies course, will be offered along with two sections of I.S. 11; Dr. James Recob, Chairperson of the Religion department teaching I.S. 26, and a section of I.S. 30, Dr. Norman Chaney, associate professo r

"As an RA, I'm supposed to know the policies, and then combine my good sense with the policies of Otterbein," said Rebekah Medaugh, an RA on fourth floor Hanby. Medaugh continued by saying she was very concerned, however, that she did not "overstep her bounds." In all matters where there is some question about the guest or any other policy Medaugh said she always consults with Vansant or Peters before a final decision is made.

Woodruff was voted the award by his teammates. The results were announced at the team picnic Tuesday. In other awards, quarter-milers Sheldon Robinson and Steve Reynolds tied for the outstanding freshman.
The team elected juniors Jeff Kneice and Steve Farkas as co-captains for the 1981 season. Kneice, the 1980 cross country champ, is also co-captain of the cross country team.
Farkas finished second in the conference this year in the 110 high hurdles. Farkas is just one-tenth of a second away from qualifying for the nationals. He will try to qualify S::iturday at Kent State. So far, only Woodruff and OAC steeplechase champ Hal Hopkins have qualified.

The Honors Program Task Force Committee has applied for a foundation grant to ;,upport the program from the McGreQor Fund in Detroit, Hamilton said. He stated that a grant from this organization would enable the program to grow more rapidly, permit the endowment of three additional scholarships to Otterbein, allow additional honors sections to be made available, and make possible the purchase of more library materials.
floor Hanby agrees that there are some areas that need to be more specific in the guest policy.
"There's a lot of grey area and a lot of times it's up to the RA to make it black and white," said Fleisher. Both Vansant and Peters feel that perhaps a more specific policy needs to be drawn-up for next year.
"I would have no objections to bringing the matter before the Campus Services and Regulations Committee for a complete review of the policy next year," said Vansant.

Seils Is Optimistic About Frosh Grid Recruiting
By Dave Graham
"Optimistic, yet realistic" is what coach Rich Seils said about his Otterbein Cardinal football team and their chances of an Ohio Conference title this fall.
In looking at the spring recruiting Seils adds, "Our recruiting is hard to judge at this point, it's really hard to judge even after we've seen the kids for three weeks (in fall practice)."
Seils_is not sure of the exact number of freshmen he will have to work with at this point. He does know that ·it will be between his maximum of 68 prospects and the minimum of 45 that have tried out in previous years. "The key is how many good solid prospects, not particularly numbers," added the eight year mentor. "Most generally we just try to recruit good solid athletes."
-
"Many other variables come into play once the student is on campus," continued Seils. "Adjustment to college life, both socially, academically and athletically are things that all affect a player's contribution to the team. This is an area the coaching staff cannot control."
Seils did point out that as of now, the prospects who have committed to Otterbein will help out and the staff is pleased.

Seils went on to say, "Freshmen who are coming in are going to play some key roles in the offensive line."
The offensive line was the main worry for Seils, who will be losing b oth tackles and a guard. Also the wide receiver position will be vacated by Senior Wayne Woodruff. According to Seils the remainder of the offense has "proven experience."
The defense should be the strong point of the team this season. They will be returning nine starters, seven of them being seniors.
Seils ·is optimistic for this year's squad saying: "Going into this August's practice it will be a much improved ball club than last August . We've got potentially one of the better' teams we've had in the last few years We should be very competitive."
In looking at the rest· of the conference, Seils said, "Baldwin-Wallace is always tough. They and Wittenberg have been the teams to beat every year for the last six to eight years."
B-W proves to be the main obstacle in front of the Otter's title dreams. "We will have as good or better a chance to knock off B-W than any other team in the division," Seils added. "It would take a lot of improvement on our part to knock them off, but I think it's possible."
When asked about the likelihood of a freshman moving into a starting role Seils noted that it was a rare occassion when it happens. "We don't like to do that," he said.
The main thing Seils is interested in next fall is that the team plays together and up to their potential.
