Otterbein College...

Seaborg to present Commencement address On June 8, Dr. Seaborg will honor Otterbein College as the guest speaker of the 1975 · Commencement Convocation. He will also be awarded an honorary degree from Otterbein as Doctor of Public Service. Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg was born in the little mining town of Ishpeming, Michigan on April 19, 1912. Not until many

years after Glenn Seaborg had moved away, did the people of Ishpeming realize that their little town had produced one of the greatest scientific minds the world had ever known. When Dr. Seaborg was very small his family moved to Home Gardens, · California. He would probably have become a machinist like his father, grandfather and great

grandfather were before . him, except he didn't possess any mechanical ability. As a child Dr. Seaborg showed little interest in science, and actually didn't take a science course until he was a junior in high school, when he enrolled in chemistry to fulfill an admission requirement at _UCLA. During this time Dr. Seaborg's interest in science was ignited, by his first science teacher, Dwight Logan Reed. His enthusiasm for science became so great, that he decided to major in chemistry at UCLA. In his senior year, Dr. Seaborg heard so many interesting reports about the discoveries being made at the University of California at

Berkeley, he decided to enroll in graduate school. While doing his post-graduate study Dr. Seaborg concentrated on the field of nuclear chemistry and received his Ph.D. in 1937. After •finishing his graduate work, Dr. Seaborg remained at Berkeley as a research assistant until 1939, when he became a member of the faculty as an instructor. Except for two periods since 1937 Dr. Seaborg has remained at Berkeley. From 1942-46 he worked in the Metallurgical . Laboratory at the University of Chicago and from 1961-71 he held the distinguished position of Chairperson of the Atomic Energy Commission. From 1940 through 1958, Dr. Seaborg made his greatest

strides in chemical research. He codiscovered the chemical elements 94 through 102. He also discovered three radioactive isotopes, which are the isotopes used almost exclusively in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Although Dr. Seaborg has made many outstanding discoveries, probably the most famous was that of plutonium, which is the explosive element in nuclear weapons. It is also the key ingredient in nuclear power for the future. In 1951 Dr. Seaborg and E.W. Martin received chemistry's highest honor, when they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their . joint effort in the discovery of transuranium elements. Continued on Page 3

Note from the Editor Letter to the_Campus

ILetter's PolicyLetters t·o the Editor

Dear Otterbein Community: Take time to read "Letters to the Editor" this week. It was the letter from Kay Wells that prompted me to write this editorial. It's an appropriate time, I think, for me to say what I like about Otterbein. The end of the school year has almost arrived (it has arrived for this year's seniors); but on top of that I'm just beginning to settle into the position of editor and you have the right to know where I stand. I hope to write a lot of negative things about the college during the upcoming year. That's the way a newspaper can make itself a useful part of the community; and besides, there are a lot of things wrong with Otterbein. But still I recognize that Otterbein is a great institution . To begin with I might point out that I would be nowhere near Otterbein College if it wasn't an exceptional means for me to fulfill my own needs. The college has done a better job of providing the academic and non-academic programs I want than any other college could. Also I find that the college is in general a gooct'school--any school that can keep on running in the biack inspite of the recent economic situation has a lot of points in its favor . Further, Otterbein is a beautiful mixture of tradition and innovation. And of course the people at Otterbein, although a· motley mob, are a fine group of people to know and to work with. This paper may have some unkind criticisms of Otterbein College (or the world in general for that matter) during the upcoming year. But it is by being a gadfly that The Tan and

pus. This should be high on his list-of improvements . The administration has never tried to stifle my opinions. But then, maybe they have just ignored my letters. Dean Vansant is the stu­ dents' friend on campus. I'm convinced of that after all of my contact with her in the last four years. I thank her for her respect and understanding. As I look to the future, I see Otterbein going through some lean years. Many people will be asked to make sacrifices . Good professors will be let go. Some already have been.

Thanks to Mrs. Hannie Dear Editor, It has been announced that Mrs. Hannie from the Wo­ men's Physical Education De­ partment has resigned and is returning to Florida Southern University to teach. I would like to thank her for all the time she has spent working with the women's tennis team. As a result of her coaching everyone on the team has shown much improvement throughout the season. My only regret is that she will not be back next year to continue her work. I would like to wish Mrs. Hannie and her husband Jeff the best of luck and much success in Florida. She will certainly be a hard one for Otterbein to replace! Sue Subich

Stop and reconsider To the editor: It seems that the good aspects of things are seldom mentioned about Otterbein. People usually comment on the bad aspects of this institu­ tion, but we seldom hear anything positive here except that Otterbein is a Christian college, and it would be less Christian-like to permit alco­ hol on campus. I really think it is time someone said some­ thing else good about this school. I love it here, and I Contmued from Pa~e 2 One rather painless, yet meaningful sacrifice that Pre­ sident Kerr would make would be to have his son do their lawn work, just as he does other lawns in the neighbor­ hood. I know that the presi­ dent's home is college property and former presidents have had the lawn done for them by the college, b.u t we face economic hard times. Maybe the college would save very little money, but it would be an example to the college community that his family was joining in the effort to save money . On June 8, I depart Otter­ bein as a member of what I have been told is the mo;t important special interest group that Otterbein has, the alumni . I will be asked to give money to help Otterbein sur­ vive. I may give eventually, but it will be hard when I don't have a job. I may become so important an alumnus that I will be invited to the presi­ dent's home for dinner. I never got to the house in my four years here. I just request that when future administra­ tors tell future students that they can't have change because of alumni, I'm not included in that faceless mass. If anything, I won't give unless the college does change. Alumni develop­ ment- I'm your property now. If your not nice to me, I won't give you any money. I'm an important alumnus now so kiss my feet! Sincerely, Wallace A. Gallup

The Foreign Language De­ partment of Otterbein College offers a summer program in Dijon, France. The program provides students with a unique opportunity to study French in a region noted for its artistic riches, historical mon­ uments and gastronomic tradi­ tion. r Students will be. enrolled in courses offered by the Summer School of the University of Dijon. The courses will include language courses at all levels, civilization courses (art, his­ tory, music), and literature . courses.

All participants wiil be able to enroll in courses in cooking, singing, folk dancing and will be able to take part in guided visits to local museums and monuments at no extra charge. The summer program will run from July 7 to August 1. The program is offered to Otterbein students as well as high school students above the age of 17. For more information con­ tact the Foreign Language Department (ext. 3773). Deadline for applications has been set on June I.

New approaches tried in Psych Dept. New learning approaches are being tried by discussion group leaders in Common Course Psychology. The lead­ ers, primarily senior Psycholo­ gy majors, have been planning activities to give group mem­ bers contact with different situations, then viewing them as a group from a psycholo­ gical standpoint. Kristy Gilbert recently took her discussion group to the Blue Danube, a bar on N. High Street in Columbus. Two

students portrayed homosexu­ als, two were pick-ups, and one "Bible-beater". The end result was the group being asked to leave. Most group members did feel that the experience gave them insight into different life-styles. One person called it "a most unusual experience". Other discussion groups are making plans for end-of-year activities ranging from camp­ ing to sensitivity sessions.

Veteran _ s roundup i_~ them akin g~ - - - -_.~-,,:j,._- -------COLUMBUS, OHIO --- Another VETERANS ROUNDUP is in the making by the Ohio Vietnam Veterans Bonus Commission, Director Randall W. Sweeney reports. "We are launching another drive," Sweeney said, "in an effort to contact every eligible Ohio veteran who served during the Vietnam Era, particularly since this is the first anniversary of the date bonus application forms were distributed." Sweeney believes that there are many more Ohio veterans who qualify, than have yet filed claims for the compensation, and he has written personal letters to Commanders at Armed Forces installa-

tions around the world, asking their help in publicizing Ohio's Vietnam bonus. "I hope," Sweeney said, "the news media and veterans organizations will also give the widest publicity to the bonus and encourage qualified veterans to send in applications ·for consideration." Sweeney explained that although more than 350,000 applications have been received, VA estimates indicate the Commission can expect more than 140,000 additional claims. "We're still getting approximately 1,000 applications a week," Sweeney said, "and more tha:n 2,500 requests for

bonus forms are handled by the staff each month." Sweeney emphasized that every Ohio veteran who served on active duty during the Vietnam Era, August 5, 1964 to July 1, 1973, whether in domestic, foreign, or service in Vietnam, is eligible to apply. If a person were on active duty within the Republic of Viet­ nam between February 28, 1961 and August 5, 1964, a claim could also be submitted for compensation. "We hope this publicity will reach every Ohioan who serv­ ed during that time," Sweeney said, "and we urge eligible veterans to write or call us if · they have any questions."

W.O.B.N. continues to grow

"We've executed plans which have just been talked about in past years" Len Robinson, Station Manager of WOBN, replied when asked what he thought Otterbein's own WOBN had accomplished this year. WOBN has grown through out the years and has become an educatio~al experience for those people on the staff. WOBN started out in a different form from what it is now known. In fact, WOBN even had a different name. Professor Lee Shackson, Chairman of the Music De­ partment in 1948, thought it would be a great idea for Otterbein to have a radio station to give students radio .experience as well as public relations for the college. Professor Shackson and two students, Jim Roose and Jim Yost, got together and built an AM transmitter from World War II surplus materials. The station was located on the third floor of Towers and 630 on your AM radio dial. On Monday, March 8, 1948 at 4:30 p.m., WOBC started broadcasting with 5 ½ watts of power using the waterpipe system as their antenna. WOBC just the beginning of Otterbein's radio broadcast­ ing. In 1951 Cowan Hall was built with facilities for a radio station, so WOBC moved to the dungeon of Cowan Hall.

I

WOBC now had a control room along with two studios, a news room, and an adjoining classroom that can be used for observation. WOBC wasn't going to stop there but contin­ ued to reach out for a larger audience. WOBC wasn't really a legiti­ mate radio station and was Qt:ir-~ ~~~sel~d. ~Y ihe. federal Communications Commission for exceeding their power limits. During the 1956-57 school ·year, WOBC applied for an educational non-com­ mercial license to become a legitimate radio. So in 1958, WOBC received a transmitter from Robert Bromeley and Vida Clements contributed a new console. With the license came a new name, WOBN 91.5 F.M. ! WOBN continued gaining more interest from the stu­ dents and in the 1966-67 school year, WOBN got an Associated Press Wire Service Teleprinter which added more to the news department. With the beginning of the 1973-74 school year, WOBN got new turntables and WTVN donated a RCA console that they no longer needed. WOBN personal then wired the RCA board so that it could be used for production and also as a remote board. '' I think one of the biggest improvements is having a more responsible staff" Len

Robinson stated when asked why he thought the station had improved this year. Much enthusiasm on the part of the student staff has made the station look better in appearance as well as sounding better. Students went out and asked people to donate carpet and one Saturday the whole staff worked together to give WOBN the "Real Professional Station" appearance. "We've overcome many ob­ stacles and we've worked hard to make ourselves better'' was John Lane's, Program Direct­ or for WOBN, remarks when asked to give an overall view of WOBN. He also· stated, "I think Information Radio had such a plus, that it could win awards" when asked what he thought about WOBN's pro­ gramming.

bySuanHall

It's the end of the year. At last. Bet you thought you'd never make it. Well, frosh, there you are. This is it. Otterbein. Not quite what you were expecting, is it? Is it? A year ago, dying of boredom and heat prostration in your caps and gowns, what were you expecting? Did you think it would be different? Maybe better? Did you think that since you made it through high school, you could survive anything?

Manna

by Chet Cady People have asked me to explain what manna means. Back in the Old Testament Israel, after leaving Egypt, was without food and there was a threat of starvation. But the Lord would not allow it. He sent "bread" from heaven. This bread Israel called man­ na. "Now the manna was like coriander seed and its appear­ ance like that of bdellium. The people would go about and gather it and grind it between two millstones or beat it in the mortar and boil it in the pot and make cakes with it; and its taste was like wafers with honey. And when the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall with it (Num. 11:7,8, Ex. 16:31, Num. 11:9)." Manna was the nation Israel's daily bread. While Christ was here in the flesh, He spoke to the Jews, alluding to the manna in the wilderness. "I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is (I am) the

or even a halfway decent good time. The only reason a person chooses to become a bucket­ head is because it is easier to wear the bucket and imitate the actions of life than to not wear a bucket and have to watch- all the other buckets bumping into ,each other. Nobody on Earth, not even in America is born with a bucket on his head. Everyone is born with a clear head. However, through all of life in America, and through school, a child-American can see bucketheads as his teachers, his parents, he can read about bucketheads in history books, watch them on TV, see them giving sermons and drinking Coke. He soon gets the idea that everyone is a buckethead (a mistaken impression) and he starts to try on a few buckets. The real bucketing-up comes later, at Otterbein. The place is a real used-bucket lot; there are buckets for every taste. For angry people there are buckets marked Religion. For frightened people, buckets marked Athletics. For self-des­ tructive people, Business buckets. For loonies, Psycho­ logy buckets. For the lonely unwanted, Home Economics buckets. For misanthropists, Speech buckets. Pathological introverts may choose Science buckets, extroverts, Theater. For those who simply love buckets, there is Education. Many of the faculty at Otterbein deny their wish to clamp a bucket on the heads of their clientele; however they themselves sport buckets and their situation is obvious. Lots of students themselves who deny wearing a bucket. They are wrong, and are always most conspicuous because their buckets are always shined up. There is one buckethead at Otterbein who writes funny things in public places to make his fellow buckets ring with hollow laughter. Though he himself must laugh, he is often down and sad because he feels the bucket situation is a horrible way to waste an existence. For one stinking day, he thinks, couldn't all the buckets be removed from everyone? _ I am John Reece, the Joy Rag. This is my last column this year. See you next fall.

Now she says Westerville l · is her home because of the · time spent here with her Otterbein children, friends and · staff. · From her usual gay manner it is hard to believe that President Lynn Turner could have had doubts about hiring her.

Of course anyone knowing Mrs. Thomas realizes that she acts anything but old. Mrs. Thomas says everyday is full of surprises living with young people, and their talent and creativity keep her young. Only when she is with people her own age does Mrs. Thomas realize how much college students in­ fluence her life. Mrs. T. tells a story, which she says occurs quite frequently, about being with a friend and using the phrase "being ripped off."
