Extensive summer revamping changes campus Aside from a big dirt let in back · of the Campus Center, Otterbein's campus may look little different from last year for those returning students. However, during the summer, an extensive revamping took place on campus that is bound to make a big difference in the lives of the students no matter how subtle these changes seem on the outside. The reef of Towers Hall was replaced as part of a three phase improvement plan, and the two towers were restored. Cochran Hall's exterior was greatly improvea as the result of sand-blasting, · water-proofing, tuck pointing, and painting. The main lounge underwent a total

The Tan and Cardinal is in need of a circulation manager who would be responsible for picking up the newspaper from the printer on Thursday night, and for keeping records of T & C subscribers. A car would be helpful. The job pays $50. Anyone interested should contact the T & C office or Kathy Fox in Mayne Hall.

Several of the older building~ adjacent to the campus may be missed this year because they were removed to . allow for landscaping, creating a greater amount of open space. The Home Economics department packed up and changed their address ·to the Science Building. A grant of eight thousand-five hundred dollars from the Clements

Foundation allowed for improvements in facilities to permit greater participation on the part of the students in that department. Occupying the old Home Ee. building at 48 Grove St. is the Red Tub Coffee House. Chaplain Robert Clarke's office is also at the new location. On July nineteenth, groundbreaking cermonies were held for construction of the Rike Physical Education/ Recreation Center, named for the Rike family of Dayton. The new facility, dubbed The Otter Dome by students, will bring both men's and women's Health and Physical Education departments into the Rike Center from Alumni Gym and the Sosh.

Otterbein students embark on WCI

Chapman College's unique shipboard program in international studies, World Campus Afloat, began its seventeenth academic semester Sept. 4 at Los Angeles, . California. On that day college students from throughout the 50 states and representing 200 colleges and universities embarked for a study semester aboard ship and on shore in the South Pacific, Southeast Asia and the Orient. Since its inception in 1965, World Campus Afloat has taken approximately 7500 college students on voyages of discovery where the idea of adding "look-learning" to "book-learning" has moved education beyond the classroom into the world -laboratory. Campus for the program is

the 18,000-gross-ton S.S. Universe Campus, owned by Seawise Foundations, Inc., and operated by Orient Overseas Line with head offices in San Francisco . The shipboard campus is equipped with th~ classrooms, library, laboratories, offices, theatre, bookstore, self-service dining room and student union necessary to the educational program offered. In addition to the teaching faculty and administrative personnel, the World Campus Afloat staff includes a recreation director, counselors, a psychologist and chaplains. Also, when possible, educators, civic and cultural leaders from ports to be visited travel aboard ship as interport lecturers and resource personnel. Classes meet regularly while the ship is at sea and extend into field research projects in the ports of call. Certain activities in each port have been prearranged by the College to satisfy course requirements. Visits to local universities, galleries, museums, markets, housing developments, social institutions, government offices and business and industrial developments are typical off these. Other activities are optional and are designed to enhance the students' appreciation for the cultural mode of the city, country or region visited. Students also enjoy home stays as guests of local families and may arrange to travel overland to points of interest or to rejoin the ship at the following port. World Campus Afloat now also offers two, five-week summer sessions designed for teachers, school administrators, businessmen and other adults, as well as upper division college-level students.

ltDIIOBIAL

Visitation is part of education Immediately to the right of this editorial is a letter from a concerned student on the subject of visitation. The issues involved are already familiar to upperclass students and will soon be familiar to freshmen. The visitation question engendered a great deal of discussion last year, as it has . done for a number of years. However, all of the visitation and related proposals (with the notable exception of the card key system) have stopped at the discussion stage.

Mr. Gallup believes that a liberal education should be a total living experience rather than a limited academic experience . Many students share this view and are working to bring about changes in the current residence hall regulations. In subsequent, the Tan and Cardinal will be giving many people an opportunity to express their opinions on the

I

visitation question and reporting the progress of any new proposals in this area. Otterbein College is currently involved in a major building and renovation project requiring the time, effort, and financial backing of many members of the Otterbein community . The new physical education c;omplex will be a tremendous addition to the campus. The renovation of Alumni Gym and Towers Hall will add to the amount of office and classroom space and will be a definite asset to the school. However, it is my opinion that an equally broad renovation program should be undertaken with respect to the residence halls, other housing plans, and alternative life styles. I urge all members of the Otterbein community to learn the facts of the visitation issl\e and to express opinions to your elected representatives in the Senate and on the Board of Trustees.

Letters to the Editor

Policy The Tan and Cardinal encourages students, faculty, and staff to write to our letters department concerning any matter that happens to be bothering you at any given moment. All letters must be typed, double-spaced, and signed in ink with the author's name, address, and phone number included. No anonymous let.ters will be considered for publication. Names may be withheld upon request. The Tan and Cardinal reserves the right to accept or reject any letter, and to make any necessary corrections.

Visitation would solve polarization To the Editor: During summer vacation, all of us received a letter from President Kerr informing us that the Board of Trustees will form a committee to explore the possibility of visitation and further decide if visitation is in keeping with the philosophy of Otterbein College. While this action by the trustees is better than rejecting the proposal, we cannot be satisfied by this action. If we allow ourselves to be neutralized by the forming of this committee, we may lose everything we have accomplished thus far. Otterbein College, in my opinion, runs the risk of being a hypocritical institution if this proposal is eventually defeated. Otterbein strives to give its students a well-rounded liberal-arts education. They do a very good job academically. Socially, one wonders why the accomplishments haven't been as fore ward reaching. Inter-personal relationships are part of a person's education .. While residence hall programming has taken great strides in the last few years, inter-action between men and women leaves much to be desired. I ·believe visitation would help solve much of the polarization that this campus experiences. If we had listened to the student personal office last year, we never would have d,rawn up a proposal. Students were repeatedly told that the proposal would never pass the college senate . To their surprise, it did pass and was not rejected by. the trustees. As students, we have the most to gain if this proposal is passed by the trustees. We must learn the names of the committee members and let them know our views. It is not time to sit back on past laurels. Last year Bill Smucker was elected student-trustee. We must give him all the support possible in our quest to bring the Otterbein's social quality up to the standards of its academic program. We are repeatedly told that "Otterbein is people." People come in two sexes. I wonder if Otterbein College realizes the fact that the two sexes

communicate with each other. Very truly yours, Wallace A. Gall/up

Talent show audience tenned "Obnoxious" To the Editor : Apparently Pat Shelden wasn't the only one who wanted to get into the act during Sunday's Freshman Talent Show. The galleries were full of eager performers. Unfortunately, these would be lime-lighters were insensitive, rude, and obnoxious. 'To all of you who felt it your duty to judge the show's participants by shouting, laughing hysterically, and/or whistling, etc., you have a pitiful sense of timing and empathy. The thirteen Freshmen who performed did not deserve the "welcome" they received. Everyone has their own stage to perform on, whether it be the football field, the Red Tub, the International House, the cafeteria line, the science lab, or the basketball court. Everyone knows how it feels to be judged, watched, tested. Why then did a handful of people have to make it so hard for an admirable company to bring us an evening of entertainment?! Sincerely, Leslie Burrell

Citizens form resource file To the Editor: Your time and talents are needed! The Citizens Advisory Committee of the Westerville Board of Education is creating a community resource file of people who can contribute their special talents, skills or interests, from time to time, to supplement the work of the classroom teacher. The campus community is abundant with people who have many experiences and collections to enrich Westerville students. Will you share them?

Please call 882-7008 or write to me to give your name , address and phone number if you can help. I trust your contribution will be mutually rewarding. Many thanks,

Otterbein Will Return To Guest Star Show The Otterbein College Theatre will return to the highly-popular professional guest star production , Dr. Charles W.

Writing Clinic eases traun1a The eternal trauma in college is how to get started on the paper that's due tomorrow . An experimental writing clinic has been set up to provide for those emergency situations. Situated weekdays in Towers 3 ( easily found by way of the lower level "Centennial Library" door opposite the tennis) fro m 9-3 , and in the Roost 4-5 , it is designed to be easily accessible to the student or faculty for any writing problems they might have . As its use fulness grows , the clinic hopefu lly will expand the hours to strategic evenings in the

cc.

Introduced by Mr. Hamilton last spring as an outgrowth of the President's task fo rce dealing with curriculum changes, it has since taken shape under a competent staff of three . Ann Pawlak serves as information director and coordinator with Jim Bailey and Jack Coulter functioning as c0unselors and tutors. Bill Smucker and Doug Yeakel have been added as student assistants. The writing clinic is not designed to be a replacement for necessary student-teacher contact.. But if it can relieve some of the tension often existing inside that contact by offering a neutral point of view, it will have removed a block that sometimes comes between the

student, his energy, and his creativity. It is not meant to be a replacement for the Study Skills Center, but is aimed at helping the student gather together and synthesize his ideas, find the right place for a sentence that just doesn't seem to fit , or simply help him get started, probably the hardest job of all. It is not an outgrowth of the English department limited to English majors, but, as a part of the new Common Course program, its staffs specialized skills in writing create a unique resource that should be taken advantage by all departments. The faculty response has been hesitant. There seems to be a credibility gap-the faculty, as a whole, is waiting to see how successful the program will become. Yet, for the clinic to function with maximum positive results, it depends on total enthusiastic faculty support. So far the clinic has dealt with only two to three students per day because not many papers have been assigned, but as more students take advantage of the clinic, hopefully the faculty will support it with a little more vigor. The students who have used the clinic have been amazed that they can be so relaxed whe~ it comes to writing and talking about it. The basic aim of the

* * * clinic is to help students express themselves more clearly, concisely, and creatively. By providing a relaxed atmosphere and personal attention, maybe the student, with this sort of help, will be able to go confidently about the difficult business writing a good paper.

Programmed Instruction triggers changes " 'Programmed instruction' hasn't revolutionized teaching to the extent that its advocates predicted in the 1950's. But it has triggered significant changes in the philosophy and techniques of American education. "For one thing, the teacher, not the student, is becoming the one held accountable for the student's success in learning," says David D. Starks, professor of education at The University of Michigan."

was expected to help students learn far more subject matter in a fraction of the time they formerly spent. But revising books and teaching materials to implement the plan has proved difficult on a massive national scale, Prof. Starks notes in "Memo to the Faculty," published by the U-M Center for Research on Learning and Teaching. Instead, the principles of programmed instruction have been incorporated with-in a growing variety of educational experiences at Michigan.

"Teachers sometimes take pride in a reputation for being 'tough.' Hopefully there is a trend toward being proud in the numbers of students who master a course instead of the numbers who fail it. This entails carefully analyzing what it takes to put across more difficult concepts, and assessing one's abilities as a teacher instead of just as an expert and scholar in a certain field."

"While the lecture remains the basic mode of instruction, students also have access to seminars, discussion groups, residence hall-based courses, off-campus resources and interdisciplinary and independent study programs. These options represent a large university's attempts to negate the impersonality of mass education," Stark concludes.

Behaviorist B.F. Skinner stressed teacher accountability when he introduced programmed instruction about 15 years ago. His method of presenting information to students in small sequential units and quizzing after each segment

HALL IN THE FAMILY

A Separate Piece by Susan Hall

Well, frosh, you've had it pretty easy so far. Two weeks with less than four feet of rain . No fire drills. Even a victory on the football field! And the team was playing at the time! Who could ask for more? But you knew it couldn't last forever. -Welcome to "Hall in the Family" and the Other Otterbein. Did you bring a canoe? You'll need one to get to class. Are you addicted to Pepto-Bismol yet? You 're not still getting up for breakfast, are you? Just you wait. Heh-heh-heh. Last week end was not typical, with everybody excited and nothing to do . The typical Otterbein weekend is more like this: nobody is excited and there's nothing to do. The magic number is 882-7710 (R.C. Pizza, what else?). Take it easy, girls, don't rush things. Last year the champion on our floor got so it took her two week-end nights to wash and set her hair. Practice makes perfect. I will refrain from making any adverse remarks about our

football team, although it was almost November last year before I knew we had one . Peace , Otters! I don't really want to find out personally why WOBN keeps calling Steve Schnarr a "bruising full-back." How are you and your roomie getting along? Taco and I are doing fine. She's trying to smoke me out of the room, so you see everything .is normal. Fortunately we both have to get up at 7 :00 (Did I say fortunately?) But as long as we don't forget and speak to each other, we're all right. There's nothing worse than having your first class at 11:00 when your roommate gets up for an 8:00. Is anything louder than deodorant sprayed at 7: 15 in the morning? The freshman guys this year are really something else. Right on! I've never heard of a panty raid going on for an hour and a half! You guys have stamins and perservance beyond belief! I only wish I could be there the first time King Hall has a fire drill. Jump out of bed, put on your hard-soled Adidas, wrap

They are COSI, Columbus Junior Theatre of the Arts, "Bottoms-Up" newspaper printed at Gladden Community House, The Columbus Zoo, the A.B .C . Program (A Better Chance), Drug Abuse TV spots, Research on Runaways, 4-C

program and Retired Senior Volunteer Program. The Junior League of Columbus not only supports these projects financially but also provides them with trained volunteer service by League members. This year, the Junior League is cel~brating its 50th Anniversity and 25th Annual Bargain Box. The first Bargain Box netted $8,254 and the proceeds were given for a pilot study for a psychiatric center, which later became The Children's Mental Health Center in Columbus. Mrs. Cushman syas "As in the past, this money will be returned to the community as support for a great variety of projects. The sale hours will be Saturday, September 2nd from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Monday, September 24th, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m."

FRE5HMEN PERFORM IN TALENT SHOW by Berni Zingale

This past Sunday set the scene for the Freshman Talent Show sponsored by Cap and Dagger. · After tryouts, ten talented Frosh acts were selected by the officers of Cap and Dagger to perform in the show. Emcees Pat Shelden and Tony Del Valle took the audience humorously through the show that had something for everyone. Randy Cole and Leslie Young performed in the realm of humorous Interp. Randy gave us Will Stockdale and the Sergeant from No Time for Sergeants, and Leslie, playing Adma, Eve, and the Snake from "Paradise Lost" took first place with this well-done cutting. Elyzabeth Holford, James St. Clair, and Jeff Landis played guitar. Lyz played and sang an original song, "I Cry for You," Jamie sang the popular "Desperado," and Jeff took second place with an original musical composition that asked

Using poetry and dance set to guitar, Mary Beth Watkins, Rick Knapp, and Teresa Henshaw gave us a comment on contemporary American society. Trudy Corum and Robyn Carey amused the audience with their covorting to "I'm Late, in B Flat Minor." The audience was treated to two comic monologues. The first was Jenny Herron doing Ernestine Tomlin, Telephone Operator, and the second was Darci Birmingham doing "B.F. Pru frock: International Philanthropist." The show was judged by Dr. and Mrs. Albert Lovejoy, Dean Joanne Van Sant, Dr. Lavore, Dee Hoty and Bill Smucker. As

REFLECTIONS

The Freshman's Circus DEAR FRESHMEN : A lot of funny stuff is written every year about the new freshmen class. I'm as eager .for a good laugh as anybody but there is something very disturbing, I think, about what can, and often does, happen to you, the freshman .student. PROBLEM: You are (or were) probably scared stiff. You are nervous about making friends, studying well, making friends, having fun, making friends, and being accepted. And what you an insecure eighteen-year old will do to be accepted is monstrous! I've seen you laughing loudly at other people's bad jokes, pretending to enjoy some idiot's small talk, and, in general, swallowing your own personality to impress a potential "friend." Why do you allow this circus to continue? Do you think you are really so inferior to the rest of the people in this college? I am a senior here, and it is just

incredible how respectfully phony you are to me! Why do I make you nervous? Don't you know one of the most likeable qualities about a person can be his quiet, inner confidence? No, I don't think you do know that. Because when I see you walking the campus you don't look confident at all. And when you talk to me, you do a lot of brown-nosing. SOLUTION: Go about your business---be proud, be firm, be sure! And for god's sake, to thine own self be true! Your friend and equal, Silvio

Van Biemen concert Listening to a badly played violin is admittedly an excrutiating task, but a good violinist can create a breathtaking experience in sound In the first faculty recital of this year, Mr. Van Biemen proved to be such a musician. He opened the evening with a sonata by Vivaldi arranged by Resphighi, a piece combining a variety of moods. It began with a slow, stately pace, moved into a light quicksilver mood, and then into a sedate, graceful melody. It ended on a lively note, light and gay, to which the audience responded with smiles. In contrast, Bach's Sonata for Solo Violin in A minor was an extremely difficult piece for the audience. It's clean precise lines, typical of Bach, lacked the warmth and the movement of the first piece, but it was techniquely well-executed by Van Biemen. The third piece was written by Paganini, a composer who is known for the technical feats in his compositions. Van Biemen, who is planning to compete in a Paganini competition in Genoa, Italy, in the near future, played this as the first of a series of Peganini's works in his recital, in preparation for the competition. Both he and the. audience

variety of moods

His labored through it. execution of the piece was choppy and he played it heavily and with little emotion. The Mozart that followed was a welcome relief. It was a piece in a familiar style to the audience , and he played it beautifully. He understands Mozart and played his work as it was meant to be played, the phrasing precise and the color brilliant. Ms. Rucker, the pianist, and Mr. Van Biemen worked magnificently together. Her sensitivity and responsiveness provided the rich background this piece required and her skill complemented Van Biemen's virtuosity. He followed two more of Paganini's works with a piece by Cortese, a contemporary Italian composer, lecturer, and music critic. This piece, a bold, striking composition, was played with much strength and feeling. Here agian, Ms. Rucker and Van Biemen created a depth of sound with their combined skills and especially in this piece, Ms. Rucker did much more than just accompany . After a brief intermission, Van Biemen concluded his performance with one of Paganini's most played works, Concerto N. l in D major Op. 6. This composition displayed Van

Biemen at his technical best. Although it was blemished by a few minor flaws, his overall technique was exquisite and precise . It was a majestic finale for an excellent performance and the audience, which was unusually large for such a recital, responded enthusiastically. Van Biemen and Rucker are also playing recitals at Defiance College and Ursaline College. During nine weeks this summer, Van Biemen participated in the Aspen Music Festival orchestra under the batons of Jorge Mester and Sergui Commissiona. Van Biemen announced that the first orchestra will be November second. Featured performers will be violinist Brua Dukoff of Julliard playing Mozart's "Violin Concerto in A Major" and Saint-Seans' "Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso". Joel Brown of Indiana ill play Chopin's "Piano Concerto Number One ." And members of the Otterbein music faculty in the chamber ensemble will play Milhaud's "The Creation of the World." Van Biemen and the Otterbein Symphony Orchestra will also be appearing in conjunction with the vocal department in Verdi's "Requiem" nd Menotti's "The Consul." Aside from his work at Otterbein, Van Biemen is a member of the Columbus Symphony . After his stay at Otterbein he is returning to Europe to study, and to audition for a European Orchestra.

Thrift Shop plays quiet, vital role For 15 years the Otterbein Thrift Shop has played a quiet yet vital role in our community. The Thrift · Shop, located on West Park Street, next to the maintenance building, has donated large sums of money towards scholarships and the building of new facilities at Otterbein. In recent years, the Thrift Shop has donated five thousand dollars towards the building of the library and have provided an even larger sum for the restoration of Towers Hall. The Otterbein Thrift Shop is managed by the Westerville Women's Club . However, much of the shop 's success can be attributed to the time and

efforts of Mrs. Frank Lawrence who started the Thrift Shop some years ago. The main objective . of the Thriff Shop is to keep Otterbein in touch with the Community. Articles are donated to the shop by various people who live in Westerville and by those moving to or from the community. Today the Otterbein Thrift Shop offers bargains on such things as "second hand" toys, clothes, books, records, and sports equipment. One can even buy a formal gown for $2 .50 . Unbelievable? Come and see for yourself at the Otterbein Thrift Shop open every Wednesday from ten a.m. to four p.m .

We invited afew friends for dinner and they helped clean up the Genesee River. With the aid of a few thousand pounds of microorga­ nisms, we're helping to solve the water pollution problem in Rochester. Maybe the solution can help others. What we did was to combine two processes in a way that gives us one of the most efficient water-purifying sys­ tems private industry has ever developed. One process is called "activated sludge," developed by man to accelerate nature's microorganism adsorption. What this means is that for the majority of wastes man can produce, there is an organism waiting somewhere that will happily assimilate it. And thrive on it. The breakthrough came when Kodak scientists found a way to combine the activated sludge process with a trickling filter process and optimized the combination. We tested our system in a pilot plant for five years.

NI

( At Kodak, we were working on environmental improvement long before it made headlines.) And the pilot project worked so well, we built a ten-million-dollar plant that can purify 36-million gallons of water a day. Governor Rockefeller called thjs "the biggest volun­ tary project undertaken by private industry in support of New York State's pure-water program." Why did we do it? Partly because we're in business to make a profit- and clean water is vital to our business. But in furthering our own needs; we have helped further society's. And our business depends on society. We hope our efforts to ·cope with water pollution will inspire others to do the same. And, we'd be happy to share our water-purifying information with them. We all need clean water. So we all have to work together.
