1970 Summer Towers by Otterbein University

Summer...

The Cover The cover photo was taken by Bill Utterback, director of sports information and photography. The reversal of light and shadow ef fect was achieved through a complicated processing and printing technique using Kodalith film which wipes out the detail-giving half tones. This particular photograph of Towers Hall seems uniquely ap propriate to this issue of TOWERS magazine. As the college begins a year charged with new approaches, new roles, and new responsi bilities, much of the detail is unclear. As in the photograph, what is clearly recognizable is the basic lines, the strength and character of a college whose people respect and preserve their traditions, work cooperatively to come to grips with today, and face the future with confidence.

Commencement Highlights Sierra Leone Ambassador Speaks at Commencement John J. Akar, x’50, Ambassador to the United States from Sierra Leone addressed the 269 June grad uates of Otterbein College at com mencement ceremonies on June 14. A broadcaster, poet, playwright and composer. Ambassador Akar gained international fame as the founder-director of the National Dance Troups of Sierra Leone, Af rica's foremost ballet company. The composer of the National Anthem of Sierra Leone, Ambassador Akar worked for the B.B.C., London, the Voice of America and headed the Broadcasting Services of Sierra Leone for ten years. Before taking up his current ambassadorial appoint ment, he was the head of the Com monwealth Broadcasting Secretariat, London. Twice a visiting Danforth lecturer to the United States, Ambassador Akar is much in demand as a public speaker. He was awarded the M.B.E. (Member of the most Excellent Order of the British Empire) by the Queen of England in 1966. (Editor’s note: See “African Am bassador,’’ P. 20, Winter TOWERS.)

Baccalaureate Speaker Is Howard Jamieson The Rev. Dr. Howard M. Jamieson, Jr., Dean of Students at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary delivered the Baccalaureate Address on Sunday, June 14. The Rev. Dr. Jamieson holds de grees from Monmouth College, Illi nois, and Pittsburg-Xenia Theological Seminary. He also holds an M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Pitts burgh and has studied at New Col lege in Edinburgh, Scotland. He has been associated with churches in Oxford, Ohfo, and Pitts burgh and has taught at Monmouth College, Pittsburgh-Xenia Seminary and Pittsburgh Seminary. The Rev. Dr. Jamieson has also performed study and excavations in archaeological diggings in the Mid dle East.

President Lynn W. Turner is assisted by Academic Dean Thomas Kerr in bestowing the honorary Doctor of Divinity degree upon the Rev. Mr. Joseph R. Graham during Commencement ceremonies in Alumni Gym.

Three Men Are Presented Honorary Degrees by College Honorary degrees were granted during Commencement ceremonies to three men who have distinguished themselves in their particular fields. The Rev. Mr. Joseph R. Graham, Superintendent of the Athens District, West Ohio Conference of the United Methodist Church, was awarded the honorary Doctor of Divinity degree. A graduate of Bluffton College and Uni ted Theological Seminary, Mr. Gra ham has been active in Annual Con ference affairs. A member of the Board of Christian Education from 1953 to 1961, he was editor of the Ohio Sandusky News (1953-61), was recording secretary of the Conference (1956-67) and a member of the Con ference Council of Administration (1954-69). Inter - denominational responsibili ties have included the presidency of the Allen County Ministerial Asso ciation and membership on the Gen eral Board of the Ohio Council of Churches and its Executive Commit tee. Sincerely concerned with the prob lems of the parish minister, Mr. Gra ham brings to his executive sessions a warm and sympathetic attitude which engenders the best possible solutions to the problems of the church in today’s world. The Doctor of Laws degree was given to honor Dr. Arthur L. Schultz, ’49, tenth president of Albright College and former director of alumni and public relations at Otterbein Col lege.

President Schultz is a graduate of United Theological Seminary as well as of Otterbein College, and received the Master of Education and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from the Uni versity of Pittsburgh. He is credited with implementing at Albright College an extensive building program, the re-orientation of the curriculum and the adoption of a 4-1-5 calendar, a four-year de gree program in nursing and expan sion in the fine arts, music, the sciences and home economics. Al bright has also developed the unique Operation Aspiration, which brings the college into cooperation with the black community. President Schultz is indeed a dis tinguished alumnus of Otterbein Col lege. His Excellency Dr. John J. Akar, x’50, M.B.E., Ambassador Extra-ordi nary and Plenipotentiary to the Uni ted States from his native Sierra Leone, was awarded the honorary Doctor of Laws degree. The ambassador attended Otter bein College from 1947 to 1949 and received the Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California at Berkeley in 1950. He also studied at the London School of Economics and Lincoln’s Inn Law School in London, and was a Nuffield Scholar in Afri can studies at Edinburgh University. The long and warm association of Sierra Leone with Otterbein College and Otterbein’s expanded program of teacher education in that country make it especially appropriate that the college should this year honor so distinguished a citizen as John J. Akar.

WOBN Award to be Given by Alumni Station Managers Future staff members of WOBN, the Otterbein FM radio station, will find themselves eligible for the newly created Alumni Station Managers’ Excellence in Broadcasting Award. The first of the cash awards will be given at the end of the 1970-71 school year to the student who has contributed the most to the effective operation of WOBN in the past year. Marshall

Cassady

Otterbein Theatre Major in Ohio Outdoor Drama When “Trumpet in the Land,” first production by the Ohio Outdoor His torical Drama Association, premiered July 3 in New Philadelphia, Otterbein’s Marshall Cassady, '58, had several fingers in the pie. Told against a backdrop of gently rolling hills dotted with Queen Anne’s lace, this newest Paul Green drama tells the story of Moravian missionary David Zeisberger’s efforts in estab lishing the towns of Schoenbrunn and Gnadenhutten in the Tuscarawas Valley. Supported by the Ohio Arts Coun cil, the backers of “Trumpet in the Land” hope the Ohio drama will prove as popular as such earlier Paul Green plays as “Wilderness Road,” and “Lost Colony.” As a resident of the area, a theatre major at Otterbein and instructor of speech and theatre at Kent State University, Salem Branch, Marshall Cassady was a natural to become in volved in “Trumpet in the Land.” He served as property master as well as assistant stage manager. On stage he appeared as Rev. Christian Gregor and as one of the Moravian con verts. To make “Trumpet in the Land” a family affair, his two daugh ters were among the Moravian chil dren. Marshall and his wife, Pat Mizer, ’58, live in Salem where he is cur rently working on his doctorate.

In describing the award to TOWERS, Dr. James A. Grissinger, Chairman of the Department of Speech, said, “It is hoped that many of our alumni station managers will want to participate in this very real recognition of the dedicated work of the WOBN staff.” The two initial contributors to the Broadcasting Award are Tom Lauchner, ’69, and Greg Campbell, ’68, who acted as WOBN station managers during their stay at Otterbein. Camp bell is presently affiliated with radio WNCI in Columbus while Lauchner is serving in the U.S. Navy.

Student Teaching Award Winners Are Announced The Dick Family Memorial Prize for excellence in student teaching in the areas of mathematics and science were awarded this year to: Steven E. Steinhauser, mathematics; Mary Louise Staley, mathematics; Lorrie Jean Atwater, biology. The prize was established by the friends and family of Jessie J. Dick, ’ll. Dr. Marion F. Dick, x’43, and Alwilda Dick Cook, ’13. The earnings of the fund are used each year as an honorarium for student teachers in mathematics and science who have been judged superior by the educa tion department faculty. Past recipients of the prize were: 1969, Roger Wharton, biology; 1968, Sandra Lee Water, mathema tics, and Dale Gene Fisher, physics and mathematics; 1967, Jeannine Arlee Benson, chemistry.

The Otterbein College Theatre has announced the establishment of the “ Ed Begley Memorial Drama Award” in honor of the recently deceased stage, film and television actor. Mr. Begley was a long-time friend of Otterbein and appeared in a 1963, “town and gown” production of “J. B.” He was then honored by the Col lege in 1964 as the recipient of a Distinguished Service Award recogniz ing his support and continued in terest in Otterbein. Mr. Begley had continually reported on his activities at the College in newspaper and tele vision interviews throughout the country. He maintained his interest in the school through continued con tact with the theatre staff, students and local citizens. The award will be presented an nually to an outstanding Otterbein College Theatre graduate who has gone on to distinguish himself in some area of professional or educa tional theatre. The first recipient of the award is Dr. Jack Wright, ’65, who played “J.B.” in the production in which Mr. Begley appeared. The winner in 1965 of the Gressman-Schultz Award, pre sented annually to the outstanding senior theatre student. Dr. Wright holds an M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Texas. He is presently Chief Administra tive Assistant and Director of Public Relations for the University of Texas Department of Theatre, the largest educational theatre department in the country. Responding to the news of the establishment of the Award, Mrs. Begley wrote in part, “Ed was so proud of his association with Otter bein and his Distinguished Service Award is framed on our wall in our home. He always ‘bragged’ and showed it off to all visitors! My thanks, too, to all at Otterbein. Most sincerely, Helen Begley.”

Jack Wright is congratulated by James T. Whipp, '56, on receiving the first Ed Begiey Award.

Most Successful Season The fourth season of the Otterbein Summer Theatre found Theatre Di rector Charles Dodrill adding filled seats and sold tickets to total "very successful” for 1970. The six plays in the summer schedule were chosen primarily with an eye to entertainment. "People in this area have shown us in the past that they prefer entertainment to something heavy,” Dr. Dodrill com mented. "But with ‘The Tiger’ for something different and a classic (ike ‘The Miser’ we nevertheless wound up with a well-balanced season.” Guest directors for the summer in cluded Dr. Robert Crosby, Director of Ohio Wesleyan University’s Depart ment of Theatre, and Miss Teri Hiatt, a 1970 speech and theatre graduate looking toward a career in professional theatre. In addition to seeing the Otterbein Summer Theatre operate in the black, Dr. Dodrill noted two other benefits. "It is apparent that Summer Theatre attendance brings many people to the campus for the first time and that many of these people become regu lar visitors and theatre attenders; and the educational aspects of this program continue to reap rewards for the approximately 20 students in volved annually. These fine young ladies and gentlemen continue to grow and develop as artists and as people as a result of this tremen dously demanding experience.”

Former Commissioner on Educ. Lauds O.C. Governance Plan in Recently Published Book

Regular Season Set by Otterbein Theatre Lecture/Convocation Listing

A former United States Commis sioner on Education calls the new Otterbein College Governance Plan the most advanced in all of higher edu cation. Dr. Earl J. McGrath, a former Commissioner on Education in the Truman and Eisenhower ad ministrations, and now Director of the Higher Education Center at Temple University, made the statement in his recently published book on student power and college government. Dr. McGrath said in part:

Lynn W.

October 14 — Pat Paulsen, popu lar comedian and satirist. November 9 — Jack Anderson, syndicated Washington columnist. February 4 — John Osborne, noted playwright and author. March 8 — Bill Russell, former professional basketball star and coach for the Boston Celtics.

“Perhaps the most recent and the most radical changes in academic government were voted by the Board of Trustees of Otterbein Col lege on June 6, 1970. The action of this body gave students an equal and full voting voice in all phases of campus governance, on the Board of Trustees, and in the College Senate. Three students have been added to the Board along with three faculty members, and students will have an equal voice in all matters of policy in cluding the making of the budget, the shaping of the curriculum, and the hiring of the faculty. A College Senate with equal representation of students and faculty members, and presided over by the presi dent, will determine all final poli cies before they go to the Board for approval.

April 19 — Orville Freeman, for mer Secretary of Agriculture under the Kennedy and Johnson administra tions.

“In terms of structure, repre sentation, and scope of responsi bility, the new government at Ot terbein is the most advanced in the entire establishment of higher edu cation. In principle it comes closer than any other extant model to establishing a genuine academic community with all members par ticipating in the deliberative and legislative processes which deter mine major educational policy.”

Friday, November 6 — Jerome Hines, bass.

April 26, Founder’s Day — nego tiations in progress for the Rev. Mr. Robert Rains, pastor of the First Community Church, Columbus. May 27 — Senior Recognition Day address by Dr. Lynn W. Turner, presi dent.

The mys tery comedy will be performed for Fall Homecoming audiences October 15-17. This year’s Children’s Theatre pres entation will be the beloved Johanna Spyri tale of an orphan girl and her grandfather. “Heidi” will be given No vember 20-21. For their mid-season show, the Otterbein Theatre will produce the drama, “The Chalk Garden” on Jan uary 28-30. A professional guest artist will be invited to join the college company for the Shakespearean classic “Othel lo” during March 4-6. The tuneful re-telling of the tale of King Arthur and his Round Table will be the May Day finale to the year’s schedule. “Camelot” will be presented jointly by the theatre and music departments May 13-15.

For their years of dedicated service, v/e salute these recently retired members of the Otterbein family.

Dr. Price

More than ten organizations list Dr. Price as a member, including the College English Association, the Na tional Council of Teachers of English, Ohio English Association, Ohio Poetry Day Association, Ohio Folklore So ciety, Ohio Historical Society, New York Historical Society, Westerville Historical Society, Warren County, Pa., Historical Society, and American Studies Association. For many years he taught creative writing and lent his guidance and support to the Quiz and Quill Club. He and his wife were made honorary members of the club in 1965.

Dr. Price Completes 25 Years as Professor of English A red oak planted on the campus by Dr. and Mrs. Robert Price in honor of the dedicated teachers they have known at Otterbein may well serve a double purpose. To the many stu dents who have passed through his classes, Dr. Price himself must rank among the most dedicated of Otter bein teachers. As a professor and chairman of the English department, Dr. Price has been a part of the Otterbein scene since 1945. Among his contributions to the college are the editorship of THE OTTERBEIN MISCELLANY and his work as curator of Special Col lections of the library for which he assembled, organized and maintained the archives and rare books of the college. Widely recognized as an authority on the life of John Chapman (Johnny Appleseed), he has spent 25 years in research, contributed to reference volumes, and published a long list of books and articles on the folklore per sonality. Other publications include poetry, reviews, professional articles, and others. Dr. Price is a graduate of Denison University where he was a Pi Beta Kappa student, and received both his Master’s and Doctor of Philosophy de grees from the Ohio State University. He is married to the former Hazel Huston, a professor emeritus of the home economics department at the Ohio State University.

joined the English department. A member of the original Creative Writ ing Group of Westerville Branch, American Association of University Women, she brought national recogni tion to the group with a prize win ning poem in 1956. Other organizations to which Mrs. Fuller belongs include Martha Kin ney Cooper Ohioana Library Asso ciation, National Council of Teachers of English, Westerville New Century Club, American Association of Uni versity Women, and Otterbein’s Women’s Club.

Helen Moore Retires as Asst, to Dean of Students

Cleora Fuller

Cleora Fuller Becomes Emeritus Professor Mrs. Cleora Fuller, assistant pro fessor of English, is remembered for the twinkle in her eye when she an nounced that she was an Otterbein graduate, class of '53. Mrs. Fuller had spent four years on the staff of the Westerville Public Library, another three years in elementary classrooms of the Westerville Public Schools, and attended summer ses sions at Harvard University and Kent State University before she became a student at Otterbein. She earned her Master of Arts de gree in 1958 at the Bread Loaf School of English, Middlebury Col lege, and returned there for addi tional study during the summers of 1960-64. Always interested in creative writ ing, Mrs. Fuller became a member of the Quiz and Quill club as a student and continued to participate in its activities as an adviser after she

In the twenty years she has been on the staff at Otterbein College, Mrs. Helen Moore has seen more students come and go than she could take the time to recount. Coming to the college in 1950 proved a different kind of job from previous positions at Lazarus and as a manager of the Maud Muller Restaurant and Candy Company in Dayton. Within a few short years she was handling the office management of the Admissions Office, from which point she had an excellent opportun ity to become acquainted with enter ing students. In 1958, she accepted the post of assistant to Dean of Men Marion Chase. Upon his departure from Otterbein, she became assistant to the Dean of Students, Miss Joanne Van Sant and remained there until her retirement.

President Turner Reports on Board of Trustees Rulings Editor's Note: The following report by President Turner is reprinted from the summer edition of the TAN AND CARD INAL. Excerpts from the “Revised Cam pus Regulations” follow the President's message. Space was not available to print the regulations in their entirety.

The rules which regulate social conduct at Otterbein College next year are printed on the following page so that every member of the college community will know what they are before he or she comes to the cam pus in September. Some will undoubt edly be disappointed that they have not been changed more drastically. Others may feel that they have been changed too much. No one, however, will be able to claim that they were adopted too hastily, or that they were either forced upon a timid administra tion by militant students or upon de fenseless students by a ruthless ad ministration. They are the end prod uct of the operation of the democratic process, whose function it is some times to resist precipitate change, as it is at other times to confirm con structive change. The process began with proposals for alterations in the status quo which were made during the last school year by various organs of stu dent government and by an Ad Hoc Committee appointed by the Admini strative Council to review the general college regulations. All of these pro posals came eventually to the Ad ministrative Council where the stu dents who proposed them were in vited to speak and where they were thoroughly debated. Some modifica tions of the original proposals were made, and the amended recommen dations were then transmitted to the Board of Trustees. On June 6, the trustees referred these recommendations to their standing Committee on Student Af fairs which met in a two-day session on July 10 and 11. Again, interested students and faculty were invited to sit with this trustee committee during its evening session. The Committee made several important changes in the recommendations of the Admini strative Council and reported these to the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees.

On July 24, the Executive Commit tee devoted nearly all of an entire ses sion to detailed consideration of the report, which had been in its hands for more than a week, and made still further changes. Finally, it adopted the rules and regulations which are reproduced in this newsletter and will be printed in the Campus Life Hand book. The trustees of the college are the final arbiters in these matters. The administration and the faculty are obligated to uphold the regula tions, and students who attend Otter bein next year are pledged to ob serve them. Although, in this new form, the regulations are more liberal and more rational than they were in the past, it is true that most of the changes made by the Administrative Council and the trustees, in the documents submitted to them, were in the direc tion of restoring regulations which students had wanted to weaken or remove. This was done after lengthy and wide-ranging discussion which looked at each proposed change, not only in the light of its own inherent character, but from the many inter relationships through which the pro posal would affect other aspects of college life. It is fair to say that the proposals which the trustees rejected were found unacceptable, not be cause there was so much inherently dangerous in them, but because of the further changes to which they would probably lead and the cum ulative effect which such develop ments would have on the character of the college. In effect, the trustees have deter mined the social parameters within which Otterbein College will develop in the future. They emphasize the Christian belief that social develop ment is not separate from educa tional development and therefore of no concern of an educational institu tion, but that both social and educa tional development are inseparable parts of the whole personality, along with physical and spiritual develop ment, and that no Christian institu tion can deny its responsibilities for the well-being of the whole person. This is not particularly popular philosophy today, and it is possible that there are some members of the

Otterbein community who will find it incompatible with their own concep tions of personal freedom. These, I would say, have a choice of remaining at Otterbein and working within the system for what they conceive to be constructive reform, or of leaving Ot terbein and finding an institution more in tune with their own ideas. It is one of the glories of the American system of higher education that this element of personal choice exists— a freedom which renders campus riot ing for so-called reform not only un necessary but anarchic. (Continued from Page 15)

SORORITIES 1. “That sororities be permitted to use a fraternity house for their regular Monday evening meetings (provided an adviser is present) and that they be permitted to store furniture in the fra ternity house upon agreement with the fraternity.” 2. “That the College approve the rental of suitable houses in Westerville by sororities as residence houses and rneeting places under proper supervi sion, within the framework of recom mendations by the Pan-Hellenic Coun cil.” The trustees voted to table both these recommendations and to adopt the following resolution: “Sororities may continue to rent their present rooms at the rate established by the resolution of April 4, 1970. Those which wish to give up their pres ent rooms may meet in other rooms provided by the College, on campus, and store their furnishings.”

WOMEN’S HOURS All upperclass women (sophomores, juniors, and seniors) living within a residence hall have 12:00 A.M. per missions, Sunday through Thursday and 2:00 A.M. weekend permissions. Freshman women have 10:00 P.M. weeknight permissions first term, and 11:00 P.M. weeknight permissions second and/or third terms, provided the equivalent of a 2.0 accumulative average is maintained; ten 12:00 A.M. weeknight permissions a term to be used within each term; Sunday night permissions of 12:00 A.M.; and week end night permissions of 2:00 A.M. The following recommendation from the Trustee Student Affairs Committee was not approved by the trustees: “That all senior women with parental permission and wishing to determine their own hours be given the privilege of self-determined hours.”

Revised CAMPUS CONDUCT The following statements have been agreed upon by the Otterbein commun ity in order to clarify the behavior deemed necessary to maintain an at mosphere for personal growth without endangering other individuals or the in stitution. 1. Because it is impossible to write a code of conduct which takes into ac count every kind of behavior, Otterbein College reserves the right to discipline and to dismiss any student who ser iously threatens the well-being of indi viduals or the College. Except in rare cases of imminent danger, all judicial and appeals procedures will be avail able before action is taken. 2. Civil Laws and their applicability to Campus Laws. (a.) Most rules and regulations are enacted and enforced by governing bodies to protect the rights of individ uals or groups. Each student is a member of the College, local, state and federal communities. He is expected to follow the regulations of all these groups. Offenses against local, state, or federal laws may also result in disci plinary action by the College. The American Bar Association's Com mission on campus government and student dissent has made the following comment regarding double jeopardy on a case involving both college and civil violations: Actions by a criminal court or a university disciplinary board do not in any way preclude subsequent trial of the student for the same conduct by the other group of authorities. (b.) A particular example of the exer cise of double jurisdiction is that in curred by drug abuse. Students violat ing the federal and state laws concern ing the use, sale or dispensing of drugs on or off campus will be subject to prosecution by the civil and college au thorities since both communities are af fected by the violation. 3. Rights of other Individuals and the College (a.) Disorderly conduct on campus which interferes with the rights of other individuals, including the right to quiet study, or results in the destruction of property will lead to disciplinary action including charges for damaged prop erty, dormitory restrictions and/or dis ciplinary probation. (b) Because of increased potential disruption of educational and social campus activities, it is Otterbein’s po sition that alcoholic beverages are not permitted on the campus, in fraterni ties, in dormitories, in college-regulated housing or any college-sponsored functions, including social functions sponsored by a college organization. If such beverage is found in the possession of any student while on the above-mentioned premises the student will be subject to disciplinary action with disciplinary probation likely but suspension or dismissal possible. For purposes of interpretation, “alco

Campus

Regulations

holic beverages” covers all forrns in cluding beer. Students are reminded that they will be responsible for their behavior under the influence of alcohol. (c) Smoking has been shown to be very hazardous to an individual's health with such .consequences as reduced life expectancy and increased chances of contracting diseases, such as lung can cer, heart disease, and emphysema. For these reasons, the trustees have pro hibited the sale of tobacco on campus, and have asked college personnel to re frain from smoking on the main cam pus and in the vicinity of the college buildings. Because of fire hazards, irri tation to non-smokers, and possible damage to property, smoking is also restricted to designated rooms in cam pus buildings where ash trays are pro vided and to dormitory rooms. Stu dents are asked to cooperate in ob serving these restrictions. (d.) Peaceful and orderly demonstra tions by members of the College on college property are permissible if the demonstrators act in a courteous, dig nified and non-disruptive manner. Should action by a group or individuals at any time become dangerous to in dividuals or property, or should it in terfere with the regular operation of the college, any administrator* of the col lege is authorized to declare the group and order the individuals to disperse. If, after a reasonable interval an nounced by the administrator, mem bers of the group have not dispersed, they will be automatically suspended as students of the college and declared guilty of trespass. If they do not then desist from their activity and disperse, they will be subject to arrest and prose cution by civil authorities and to expul sion from the college. Persons under suspension as a result of the foregoing action may apply to the Appeals Council for a review of their cases, or the Judicial Council may elect to hear their cases. In any event, dismissal from the college as a penalty for disruptive activity will be through judicial procedures. Persons actually engaging in violent at tacks on other persons or in the de struction of property will be subject to immediate arrest by the civil authori ties. * The administrators of the college are the President and the four Vice Presidents. (e.) Stealing from campus facilities such as the bookstore, library, or din ing hall hurts the whole campus since money must be taken from worthwhile projects in order to replace the stolen items. Stealing from individuals or the college is a particularly inconsiderate act against the community and will re sult in a fine and/or disciplinary pro bation. (f.) Possession or use on campus of any explosive material or any weapons such as firearms, firecrackers, bombs, knives, clubs, etc., is forbidden. Except for serious cases, initial discipline is

likely to be disciplinary probation. Sale, distribution, or use in any manner which might endanger any property or person is considerably more serious and could result in dismissal. However, since hunting is an activity engaged in by some students, permis sion may be granted to bring certain firearms to the campus. The firearms will be retained by the security guards. (g.) Sexuality is an important attri bute of every human being. It deserves to be treated in oneself and others, with dignity, respect, decency, and respon sibility. Sexual behavior which is pub licly offensive, exploitive of other per sons, or in violation of law may result in college disciplinary action as severe as dismissal. 4. Plagiarism and Cheating. It is necessary to ascertain with ac curacy an individual's strengths and weaknesses in order to prepare a proper academic program for him and to eval uate his work. Thus the “high standard of personal integrity” in the classroom means that an individual will not re ceive credit for work which is not his own. Repeated attempts to obtain credit for plagiarized or dishonest work may subject a student to suspension or dismissal. Action pertaining to a given course grade or class participation may be taken at the discretion of the pro fessor in consultation with the student, but the student has the right to appeal to the Appeals Council. 5. Marital Status In order to avoid falsification of rec ords, students are expected to inform the Office of Student Personnel imme diately of any changes in marital sta tus. Failure to comply with the rule will result in disciplinary probation. 6. Organizational Agreements. (a.) In the eyes of the larger com munity, every student, faculty member, and employee of Otterbein College, represents the College, and should con duct himself or herself with the reali zation in mind. The College, in turn, must bear responsibility for the actions of individuals and groups within the organization. For this, and many other reasons, it is required that all student organizations be approved by the Col lege Senate and have a faculty adviser. (b.) A group of students desiring to form a new organization of any kind on the campus must apply immediately to the Student Personnel Office for per mission to organize and write a consti tution. Until this constitution is ap proved by the College Senate, the or ganization may engage only in activities registered with and approved by the Dean of Students. Violations of this pro cedure will result in dissolution of the organization.

Allen received his M.A. from Ohio State University and has completed extensive duty in education and training assignments.

Two Inter-Term Tours Set for Art, Theatre Students Two student tours are being planned for the late November-early December Inter-Term period. Mr. Albert Germanson, assistant professor of art, will lead students through London and Paris on a tour which will focus on art and theatre. Included will be observation of paint ing, architecture, and modern and classic theatre, at such stops as The Louvre and Rodin Museum in Paris, and the Tate Gallery and Stonehenge in England. Mr. Germanson and his students plan to depart Nov. 28 for nine nights in Paris and five in London. Also departing on Nov. 28 will be a New York Theatre Tour escorted by Dr. Charles Dodrill, Director of Theatre. Preliminary plans indicate such activities as tours of the city, Lincoln Center, the United Nations and other points of interest, plus at tendance at five or six current Broad way and Off-Broadway productions. In addition, the schedule will prob ably include visits to several art gal leries, a scenic studio and acting studio. Tour members will return to Westerville Dec. 3.

J. R. Howe Family Members in Different Occupations J. R. Howe, ’21, has accepted the pastorate of the Big Woods Congrega tional Church, which he describes as one of the oldest and most historic in Illinois. Although officially retired as a professor of theology at Evangelical Theological Seminary in Naperville, III., Dr. Howe notes, “Since I still play tennis and hand-ball actively, I could see no good reason for settling down in a rocking chair.” Mrs. Howe, the former Mary E. Brewbaker, ’24, has completed her M.R.E. degree and serves as Director of Christian Education and church organist for Big Woods. In a recent note, Dr. Howe re ported that his son Charles, x’41, is teaching at the University of Colora do, while John, ’57, is teaching at the University of Minnesota.

spotlight on spouts Agler and Price Spark Gridiron Spirit, Pre-Season Optimism High The power of positive thinking — Otterbein Cardinal gridiron variety — is getting three healthy boosts in the form of 1) returning head coach Robert (Moe) Agler, 2) new assistant coach and defense specialist Tom Price, and 3) plain hard work. During pre-season practice. Coach Agler was quoted as saying, “We don’t know how we’ll do. I’m happy with the way players are working . . . this squad has more ability than we’ve ever had here before. If we can come up with the right people in the right places soon enough — impetus is a great thing — I don’t know how many we’ll win but we’ll sure have a lot of fun.’’ Among returnees from last year’s 3-5-1 season are quarterback Norm Lukey who owns 14 Otterbein and 7 ONo Conference passing records in two seasons, his primary receiver Pete Parker, running backs Eric Nuppola, Doug Thompson and Trevor Newland, guards Jim Booker and Keith Wakefield, cornerback and tight end Ken Jackson, former fullback switched to tight end Dave Kellett, plus Craig Weaver, Len Simonetti and others.

A major factor in building the de fensive capabilities of the team is Tom Price. A 1962 Otterbein grad uate, he played on Agler’s team for four seasons. He comes to his home school now from the University of Southern Mississippi where he was freshman and assistant defense coach and head of scouting. In addi tion to preparing the Southern Missis sippi defense for playing an independ ent schedule including schools in the tough Southeast Conference, he scouted for the Toronto Argonauts and the New Orleans Saints. “What I’d like to get is two teams deep both offensively and defen sively,’’ Agler’s quote continued. “We’ve been spinning their heads with all the stuff we’ve given them . . . over 100 plays already. And we have to establish a running game. Our overall team speed isn’t too good and we are going to have to play a lot of young fellows. “But I'm enthusiastic. I know one thing: I didn’t come back to lose. I just don’t know how long it will take.’’

Meet

Bob Corbin —■

President of Your

Alumni Association

Being involved, making things happen, and constantly working to improve the status quo come naturally to the new president of the Otterbein College Alumni Associa tion. Robert L. Corbin, '49, is president of Foodcraft Man agement Corp. with headquarters in Dayton. Making peo ple happy and full is something he has learned well in the past 17 years in the food selling business. Building en thusiastic support for Otterbein among alumni and friends has been something else he has learned well. In his work with Foodcraft as well as with Otterbein alumni, Corbin strives to hold on to things of proven worth while staying alert to the possibilities of new ideas. Speaking of some of his restaurants, he noted, "We think it’s important to retain the old-fashioned courtesies and friendliness for which restaurants used to be known.” He is also aware of the trend—and capitalizing on it elsewhere—toward fast food service centers. Bob Corbin approaches his term as Alumni Associa tion president with much the same kind of dual vision. "Otterbein has been a fine school in the past with loyal alumni strongly in support,” he stated firmly. "It’s still a fine school. Our daughter, Lynn, will go to Otter bein next fall. She chose it, after studying the programs offered at all small colleges within a day’s drive to Dayton, because it stacked up as good as or better than the rest. That made us feel real good—better than if she’d chosen it just because her mother (Edith Peters,’49) and I went there.” Corbin thought for a moment about his goals for the Alumni Association during his presidency. “What I really hope to see during the next year is more people involved, particularly younger people, in the life of their college and their alumni association.” The desire to reach Otterbein’s youngest decade of alumni, those of the sixties, has motivated much of Bob

Corbin’s efforts during his years as vice president and president-elect. He worked closely with members of the senior class to plan and execute last winter’s successful luau honoring the class of 1970. At his suggestion, each local alumni club president invited to the Alumni Council meeting and seminar on September 19 was requested to bring as a guest a member of a class graduating during the sixties. Previous activities of the energetic Mr. Corbin indi cate the logical progression of his participation as an Otterbein alumnus. A member and former president of the Miami Valley Alumni Club, he has recently become a strong force in the Dayton "0” Club. He has consist ently supported in full measure his college fraternity. Pi Kappa Phi, and was elected in 1969 to their newly in stituted Hall of Fame. Bob Corbin chuckles that his current position came more or less directly because "I kept opening my mouth about what I thought concerning Otterbein. Pretty soon I began getting invitations to come up for meetings of one sort and another, then I got elected to serve on Alumni Council for a while. Two years ago they elected me to the vice-presidency, and here I am.” As part of his goal to encourage more complete alumni participation at all levels, Corbin has pledged himself to a program of personal contact with local alumni clubs. “l am going to make myself available to attend alumni meetings within 200 miles of Otterbein. I hope to get to places like Detroit and Pittsburgh and Akron, any place where a local alumni club feels the presence of the Alumni Association president would be helpful.” Bob Corbin was speaking of one of his restaurants when a newspaper quoted him as saying, "Our goal is to create a quality image.” With Otterbein, he feels the quality image is already there. "My job is to project that image — and to get everyone into the picture!”

Six Faculty Members Promoted, Seven Others Granted Tenure The Executive Committee of the Otterbein College Board of Trustees approved promotion of six faculty members and tenure for seven others. John K. Coulter, Jr. has been pro moted from associate professor to Professor of English. He joined the Otterbein faculty in 1956, has receved the outstanding teacher award at Otterbein and is currently depart ment chairman. Charles W. Dodrill has been pro moted from associate professor to Professor of Speech. He has been on the faculty at Otterbein for 12 years and has continuously made outstand ing contributions to the College, his department and to the Westerville and Columbus Communities. Richard F. Fishbaugh has been promoted to Assistant Professor of Physical Education. He has been at Otterbein since 1966. Albert K. Germanson, Jr. has been promoted to Assistant Professor of Art. In 1963 Germanson joined the Otterbein faculty part-time and be came a full-time instructor in 1966. Young Whe Koo has been raised from associate professor to Professor of Economics. He has been at Otter bein for seven years and currently serves as department chairman. John C. Muster has been promoted to Assistant Professor of Physics. He joined the Otterbein faculty in 1967 as temporary replacement for faculty members on sabbatical. The following faculty members have been given tenure: Melencio G. Cua, Assistant Profes sor of Business Administration; Wil liam T. Hamilton, Assistant Professor of English and acting department chairman: Albert G. Huetteman, As sociate Professor of Music and chair man of the department; Allan J. Mar tin, Assistant Professor of English; James B. Recob, Assistant Professor of Religion and Greek; John A. Tay lor, Associate Professor of Physics; and Sylvia P. Vance, Assistant Pro fessor of French. In addition, the Board approved an additional year’s leave of absence for Donald C.

the news Ned Forman Newly Hired Superintendent at Northmor

D. Ned Forman, '57, has been hired as superintendent of Northmor schools, Morrow County, Ohio. He had been superintendent of schools in the Ridgedale District for the past two years, coming to the area from Mount Healthy, near Cincinnati, where he had served as high school principal. Forman received his Master's de gree from the Ohio State University and has taken additional work at Miami University. He and his wife, the former Barbara Klenk, '57, are the parents of four children.

Barbara Sfansfield Teaching in Nigerian Mission School Miss Barbara Jean Stansfield, '60, is completing her fifth year as a sec ondary teacher at Matopo Mission Secondary School in Bulawayo, Rho desia. Although her undergraduate work at Otterbein was in the area of ele mentary education, she found herself teaching geography, history and Bible at the Rhodesian school operated by the Brethren in Christ Church. The boarding school has over 300 stu dents in grades 9-12, which gives the staff, according to Miss Stansfield, “real opportunities to teach them of Christ but also demands much of us in time and energy which you don’t experience in a day school.’’ Miss Stansfield also noted that students there are anxious to go to school since places at the secondary level and beyond are quite scarce. Miss Stansfield received her Mas ter in Education degree from Kent State University in 1965, majoring in elementary school administration. She will be eligible to return to the United States on furlough in another year.

Carroll WIddoes Retires from Distinguished Career in College Coaching Carroll C. Widdoes, ’26, turned his back on cold winter weather and headed south when he retired from coaching at Ohio University this year. He and his wife, the former Viola Peden, ’28, are settled in their Lake Worth, Fla., home and write that they are eager to see other Otterbeinites in the area. Widdoes is recognized for his out standing career in collegiate coach ing. Head tennis coach during 196369, he came to Ohio University in 1949 as head football coach and ath letic director. He served as football coach for nine years (42-36-5) and then retired as athletic director in 1961. On the physical education staff of Longfellow Junior High School in Massillon for eight years with Paul Brown, Widdoes moved with Brown to Ohio State University in 1941. He served as head coach there during 1944 and 1945. He won the Ameri can Football Coaches Association’s “Coach of the Year’’ selection in 1944 with an undefeated season, and left a 7-2 record for 1945 before step ping down. At Ohio University, Widdoes was named “Ohio College Coach of the Year’’ in 1953 after giving the school its first MAC (Mid-American Confer ence) football title. Mr. and Mrs. Widdoes’ mutual enthusiams for golf and bowling will undoubtedly keep them in touch with the world of sports on a personal level in their new location. Their three children are: Dick, a Sandusky den tist: Jim, a restaurant owner in Athens, and Tom, in Toledo.

Donna Striefthau Devotes Full Time to Education

Bob Harmelink Still Musically Involved Robert Harmelink, '68, has added the musical directorship of the “Sing Out, Massillon’’ youth group to his list of music-related activities. The “Sing Out, Massillon’’ membership is open to all Massillon area youth 15 and older. Shortly after Harmelink took over the musical direction of the group last spring, they appeared on the same program with U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Affairs George Romney for a local Chamber of Com merce dinner. Presently teaching ninth grade science in Copley, Ohio Harmelink

received his teaching degree from the University of Arizona in 1969. At Ot terbein he was a soloist and guitarist with the A Capella Choir and chor ister for his fraternity. Harmelink was one of the original members of “The Millionaires’’ singing group composed of Otter bein students and alumni under the management of Jim Million, ’68. A composer and arranger as well as a performer, Harmelink took a year’s leave of absence from Otterbein in 1964 to sing with the professional recording group “Ah, Go-Go,’’ in New York and to serve as its arranger. His compositions and arrangements were frequently used by “The Millionaires’’ before they terminated operations this year.

Fall Alumni Council Meeting and Seminar Hears Young Alumni, Pres. Search Report The Otterbein Alumni Association council meeting and seminar held Saturday, September 19, zeroed in on two major concerns of alumni and one growing area of importance to the functional life of the campus. Following the announcement by President Lynn W. Turner earlier this year of his scheduled retirement in 1971, alumni and friends of the col lege have been invited to participate in the search for Dr. Turner’s suc cessor. (See Personal Data Form in Spring TOWERS.) In the opening ses sion of the Saturday seminar, alumni president Robert L. Corbin, ’49. dis cussed the work of the advisory com mittee to the Board of Trustees in finding and screening presidential possibilities. Outlining the criteria used by the committee, Corbin expressed concern that out of more than fifty applica tions, only a few nominees were Ot terbein alumni. Names submitted have come from such sources as other colleges recently involved in securing a president, educational as sociations, and individuals. A statistical breakdown indicating the number of deans, business men,

ministers, and others who had filed applications was presented by Cor bin in addition to a listing of what he termed “obvious names’’ on any slate of acceptable candidates. The second session of the Alumni Seminar provided a unique look at Otterbein through the use of equip ment from the Audio-Visual center. Ross Fleming, Audio-Visual Director, combined a comprehensive view of the college with an explanation of the kinds of audio-visual service now available to the college and the ex panded use which will be possible after completion of the new library. The closing session of the seminar, titled “Emphasis on the Recent Grad,’’ utilized three graduates from the sixties. Diane Weaston Birckbichler, ’66; Ed Case, ’64; and John Mus ter, ’63 and ’64, composed a panel which reflected the attitudes and needs of the younger alumni. Case and Mrs. Birckbichler are recently elected members of the Alumni Coun cil. Muster is on the Otterbein faculty in the department of physics and as tronomy. The one-day seminar ended with the Otterbein-Kenyon game.

Mrs. Lindy Streifthau, Donna Largent, x’54, classifies herself as a “drop-out who returned to school.’’ Her return to school has not been a half-hearted effort. After earning her B. Sc. degree from Miami Univer sity in 1963, she taught home eco nomics at Madison High School in Middletown for the next two years while completing work on her Masters in Education at Miami. During 1965-67 she continued teaching home economics, but now as an instructor in the department of home economics at Miami. The fol lowing year found her working as a graduate research assistant at the Ohio Agricultural Research and De velopment Center in Columbus. A graduate teaching associate in the School of Home Economics at The Ohio State University in 196869, she earned her Ph.D. from that institution in 1970. Her dissertation topic was “Cincinnati Cabinet and Chairmakers, 1819-1830,’’ with areas of concentration in housing and home furnishings, American history, and history of fine art. At the present, Mrs. Streifthau is assistant professor of home econom ics at the University of Dayton. Mrs. Streifthau explains her ac complishments this way. “When the children were young, I attended eve ning classes in lieu of bridge parties and other social events. When my youngest child went to school, I be gan to work full time. It has been very rewarding and I have found com bining career and homemaking an en joyable task.’’ Because of her involvement with education, Mrs. Striefthau has been very much aware of some of the news-making situations at various colleges and universities. “We feel deeply the current un rest upon the nation’s campuses,” she notes, “and have expressed our sentiments to institutions with which we have been affiliated.” The Striefthau’s sentiments toward Otterbein College were expressed elo quently as they allocated to this col lege the total of their yearly budget for contributions to higher educa tion.
