Directed by Jim Avidon, "Aladdin" markes his Central Ohio debut as director of a children's theatre production. Otterbein- seniors Beth Kendig and John Woodland will serve as Costume Designer and Technical Director, respectively.

A vi don came to Otterbein from Grand Rapids (Michiga'n), where he was Young People's Theatre Director.

EP 1IARIAL Is There Life Outside Otterbein?

Yes There sure is. And Yours Truly is just one of many Otters who will become vividly aware of that come the end of this school year.

All of us, when we leave the sanctuary of the 'Bein, will be forced into a world with pressures and demands quite different from those presented whife we are buying an education. Thus I am thoroughly justified in giving myself some advice:

Epistles of the week

Epistle's Policy

·

1. I'd better set up a file 9f credentials in the Placement Office and I had better write a resume (and quick) to present to potential employers.

2. I had better determine what sort of job I want when I graduate to support my wife and (eventually) kids.

3 I'd better buy some new clothes to wear in place of my ragged denims and I'd better develop some strong sales techniques so that I can sell myself to my potential employers.

But those aren't my only worries.

Now that I almost have a liberal arts degree with a major, and now that I've gained much knowledge about the "Nature of Man" I must figure out how to apply what I've learned to a world that is free--but where you have to work for your freedom; and to a lifestyle that can be happy--but where you have to work for that happiness.

All of us at Otterbein hope to leave a good mark on the world. I also want the world to leave a good mark on me.

Have a warning for you concerning your freedom: there's a bill before Congress of several hundred pages that has the potential to destroy much of that freedom. Affectionately know as S-1, the bill wants to uphold order, but it could destroy our rights. The editorial board of the T &C is opposed to S-1.

The 1'an and Cardinal encourages all members of the Otterbein Community to send letters to the paper for "Epistles of the. week". All letters must be typed, doublespaced, and · signed, with the author's name, address, and phone number included. Deadline is 2:00 Tuesday before each issue. Please limit letters to under 400 words.

Otters contribute to Red Cross drive

The Red Cross reports that 79 pints of blood were donated during the visit of the Red Cross Bloodmobile to Otterbein 's campus on Tuesday, November 4, last week.

Red Cross records show that 97 people offered their blood, including 30 for the first time. However 18 donors were deferred for the day for various medical reasons.

The 79 pints collected in the Campus Center contributed significantly, the Red Cross says, to the 262 pints collected that day in the chapter's 24-county region in Ohio.

To show the significance of these donations, Patrick G. Morand, Donor Recruitment Representative for the Red Cross, says "On the day following your campaign 25 of the 50 hospitals we serve called us for 391 pints of blood. 6 of

these calls were emergency requests for 24 pints--one alone at Hardin Memorial Hospital in Kenton requiring 4 pints delivered by the sheriff.

After Washboard the big attraction, Pure Praire League took the stage. The audience was keyed-up, waiting none too patiently for the first strain, and when i~ came so did the hysteria--but it didn't last long.

The two songs that stood out as something even ordinary were their first big hit, "Amy" and "Two Lane Highway." The rest, I felt, were shallow and unemotional.

The crowd's general reaction after the bands initial appearance was that of disappointment. After bt>ing led to a wild, stomping state by the Washboard Band, the assembly was let down by the somewhat easy sound of PPL.

Later, when I spoke to Tom Siegal, stage manager for the band, he said that PPL is on the climb because of their versatility.

"Pure Praire League is what we play," said Siegal, "country, bluegrass, and folk, all fused with rock. We play anything that appeals to us."

When asked about the band, Siegal replied:

"We started out in Cincinnati five years ago. Played up in Clifton at some bars, really freaky places. I guess the people just dug the music. It's been growing ever since."

And grow it will. The League has an album coming out sometime in February and more than likely it will be a continuation of that music

A cup of coffee, a '49 Nash, and thou

The hunting season has steadily c r ept upon us, sneaki ng in with autumn's mild breezes It is not for me to debate the morality of hunting, which is nothing different with a shotgun from what the Campus Center does with food

A hunter should be a lover o f the outdoors , but of course in a different tone than, say Wordsworth Some say a hunter has a license to kill while others say it is merely a means to put seasonal meals of pheasant and rabbit on our Thanksgiving tables. I say that a pheasant has a better chance at the hands of a hunter with a shotgun, than does a chi<::ken at the hands of a butche r with a cleaver.

At any rate, let's take a candid look at the hunter, who's ancestors were family heroes at the supper tables. The hunters travel in small groups of no, more than five unless there is room in the car for twenty-three. The covey's of hunters gear up early in the morning, noisely trying to keep from waking their dear sleeping wives A good hunter can get out of the house without arousing his mate, thus insuring a pleasant days shooting

The hunter's mating call can be heard throughout the neighborhood; the horn blast of a 1949 Nash This signals the st art for his wife's pleasant weekend alone with seven sc reaming children.

For the hunter, it all starts in the car when the last man st ubles into the back seat among everyone elses scatter

Hey Music Lover Gino's back

guns, pots and pans, tent stakes, coolers of food (what confidence the hunter has), and hunting dogs. Once seated comfortable on a bottle opener, the car, alas, starts out for its destination and the covey goes to work.

The wheelman drives the Nash. There is but one requirement for the wheelman; he must be eating a doughnut and drink hot coffee that can spill on his passengers. Wheelmen come in two distinct (soon to be extinct) classes The first class is called the "rapper." Rappers tend to be a pain in the wallet pocket. He talks to keep himself awake while pouring hot coffee down his chin and neck He talks while turning a corner and stuffing a doughnut in his face. He talks while everyone else is unsuccessfully trying to get some sleep This he does (he claims) to keep from falling asleep, but if he notices that everyone else is trying to do the same, the rapper wheelman will politely turn on the radio and pleasantly sing along with the :ountry music

The second class of wheelmen are the most fun of all to be with. They are the gazers. The gazer drives the Nash with his eyes staring unconciously at the hood ornament, a detah grip on his coffee cup, and Hail Mary's buzzing in his ears, but he doesn't notice the frantic praying.

When the gazer has the wheel, the hunter on the passenger side grabs the wheel, frantically screaming with every screeching turn. Of course, he must reach across

He says funny little things like, "Where the hell are we anyway?" and "How the hell you 'spect me to see with your elbow in my ear?" he must also watch for trains , places to turn around and police cars and he must wip e the fog from the windshield. This he does with the passenger side's hunters' body.

In the back seat we have the comedian "Gee, I think I left my shotgun shells at home."

You all know one, and in the covey everyone gets to be a comedian "Turn back, my hat just flew out the window." He knows every shortcut to every place he's never been, and if you're lucky, he will direct the way to get stuck in the mud on a one-time dirt road that " drains well."

And of course we have the hunter that everyone gets to be at one time with great enjoyment; the Grandfather. The Grandfather teaches his young neophyte such skills as smoking cigars, cussing (a favorite, at which all Grandfathers are experts), chewing tobacco or coffee beans, drinking sour mash in coffee and other essential things the hunter must know. The result is the grandson's best friend and tutor, playmate, safety freak and, above all else, hero. Bless his ornery old soul.

So you see, hunters are not crazed maniacs with shotguns. They are all human beings, just like you or me.

Every music lover relishes those times when a new talent is discovered, a talent whose artistry is immediately apparent and appreciated I had one of those moments the first time I heard Gino Vannelli. His premier album, Powerful People (A & M) , showed clarity, imagination, class and technique. The power and expression of Gino's voice was without match. Indeed he proved · himself to be one of those powerful people. The album's single entry "You Gotta Move'' scored well on _ Top 40, M.O.R. and Progressive Rock radio station playlists.

The problem with new artists who catch you ears by storm with their first album is they often dissappoint you · with their succeeding efforts They fall into formulas established in their premier release, wear out old tricks and fail to grow. With the release of Vannelli's second album, Storm at Sunup (A&M). his group is still fresh. Storm is an excellent disc.

Three unmistakeable elements are the key to Gino's unique sound; his voice, the work on keyboards by brother Joe Vannelli and Richard Baker and the percussion unit manned by John J. Mandel and drummer Graham Lear. Although this Canadian ensemble lacks the traditional elements of guitar and bass; these instruments are not missed.

voice soars above the se sounds giving life to some truly expressive lyrics.

The overall tempo of Storm at Sunup is mellow. A ll music and words for the effort com e from the hand of Gino Vannelli Smooth slow ballads included in this pa c kage are frequent, but they are so well conceived that it fa ils to put the listener to sleep Something ear catching occurs on each slow number. One of these songs, "Love Me Now", has already begun receiving FM airplay and could possible be released as a single.

Two notable up-beat numbers are "Mama Coco" and the title cut. "Mama Coco" is a humorous, rolicking song which features a solo from guest guitarist Jay Graydon. Another guest appearance by Jerome Richardson on soprano sax is featured on "Storm at Sunup", the longest track on the L.P

Perhaps the single most valid complaint about Storm is the lack of lyrical variety. Although Gfoo',s words are expressive and effective, the subject matter doesn't vary much here. Most of the songs are concerned with love dilemmas and in this way he has limited his scope at bit since the first album. A couple exceptions to this rule are the songs "Father and Son" and ''Where Am I Going?", which both concern themselves with the changes in life each person faces as they grow and mature. Even with the limited scope of the lyrics, each song is well written and expres ses sincere feelings

IThe overall sound of this album can only be catagorized as mellow. It's not rock or jazz or pop, although people from each of these camps can find something to appreciate in this L.P. It's simply good music. Judging by the sounds of their first two albums, Gino Vannelli and his band han· a lot of good music in store for the public for years to come. They haven't let down yet, and hopefully they won't. For the time being, Gino Vannelli is a good name to remember.

Otterbein Basketball rebuilding

From kickoffs to tip-offs, from football spikes to tennis , hoes, from 100 yards of grass io 100 feet of tartan turf, and a '-i ov. 29 Rike Center opener ,ir Coach Reynolds and the ·}tterbein Basketball team. \ nd the members of this years earn as well as their new Otterdome surroundings fit the running style of play the Otters will adapt to this year.

The Otters, small, quick and aggressive will get the ball out and go with it as opposed to last years controlled physical board game. Without 6-6 230, 6-5 220 personel the Otters can not "slug it out," under the boards.

And everi though the Olfers return eight veterans, few have seen considerable action. Cocaptain Dave Bromley is the nucleus of this years team, while seniors Bob Buchan, Terry Morrison and Kim McCualsky will also add leadership. A pair of sophomores, Mark Sanders and Ed Williams and juniors, Larry Downing and Muff Jones fill out the list of veterans.

With the larger court and the new running style Coach Reynolds sees as many as 12 people in a ball game. A quartet of freshman may play an important role in the outcome of the 75' season.

Rookie Don Brough t:rom Worthington, who coach Reynolds says, has a lot of potential, will aid the Otter board game. He's just a bit thin, but the 6-5 plus prospect has good jumping ability and will work both center and

torward posJtions. Columbus Centrals contribution to the 75' Otters is 6-3, Pierre Rollins, who's probably the best jumper on the team, and as coach Reynolds said, "plays a good game of ball." Guard Mike Wohlheter, 6-0 from Newark, is another player with potential, who carried Newark : hrough the tournaments.

Rounding out the freshman four is Chuck Memche, 6-3 forward who played his high school ball with Mark Sanders at Hamilton Taft. Menche is t he most physical member of the entire freshman class, and with the addition of one or two inches could be one of the outstanding forwards in the OAC by his senior year. Reynolds feels that they all have potential and the tapping of their skills will come -with playing time.

The players limited experience and the dependence upon freshmen does not worry coach Reynolds as much as this years schedule. The Otters not only play southern division teams twice, (Capital, Muskingum, Denison, Marietta, Wittenberg and Ohio· Wesleyan, all but OWU beat Otterbein last year) but such powers as Ohio University in Athens, Wright State away and Indiana Central, as well as Ashland.

Winners of the 0-Club fall and Spring awards are Tom Harbrecht [left] and Roger Rutherford [right]. Both awards are presented by the 0-Club and the Otterbein coaching staff in honor of great past coaches. Tom received the H. W. Ewing award for his character, leadership and dedication for this falls football season, while Roger garnered the Royal F. Martin award as the outstanding Spring sport athlete for the second year in a row.

Both received the awards during halftime of last Saturdays game with Heidleberg.

·What happened to the Otters?

Rich Seils sat behind his office desk Monday morning and nodded toward some names written on a chalkboard.

''That tells you a lot right up there," said the Otterbein head football coach.

On the board were two lists: one showing the Otters' defensive starters in the season opener at Manchester and the other showing the defenders who saw the most action last Saturday against Heidelberg.

Only three names Bill Cornwell, Bob Ruble and Scott Reali appeared twice.

Though the schedule may keep coach Reynolds up at night, the Otters look forward to an "exciting and enjoyable year." With the Otters in a rebuilding year nobody will be looking for them, but opponents will have their hands full! the 1975 season.

Injuries to some, inconsistent play by others and the emergence of several youngsters helped give the defense a continual facelift throughout

Red).

"Of course you certainly can't be satisfied with a 4-5 record," said Seils, "but there are a lot of things you have to look at. Our young kids got a lot of experience. They played extremely well and some far exceeded our expectations. Over a period of years it will bear some productivity in developing some depth for us.

"I think we have at Otterbein the potential for a good football team," he added.

"But the difference in winning and losing is very small. We lost three games by two, three and four points with our young kids playing and with the injuries. Last year we would have won some of those games."

with Reali for the club lead.

Abe Hatem's improved play in the defensive backfield was a factor in the Otters' better pass defense that was among the OAC leaders.

Also important was the development of the rookies, some of whom promise to be mainstays of the lineup in future years.

Names of the future on offense include Westerville's Kevin Lynch at tackle, Bob Bardelang at tight end, Tim Bucher at center and a host of running backs Mike Echols, Brad Manier, Gary Chambers, Kevin Elgin and Mark Bailey Bailey also moved in at punter to compliment another freshman, Maurizio Schindler, who had an excellent first year at'place kicker.

It was a year like that for the Otters, one of reshuffling and No one quite knew which was the real Otterbein team, the one that won its first three by easy margins or the one that lost five of its last six. The answer probably lies some­

There were several bright spots for the Otters. Bill Hillier consistently led the league in passing and total offense, while ranking among the nation's leaders in the latter. The Mt. Vernon sophomore finished with 1317 yards passing and 269 on the ground. He passed for seven touchdowns, ran for seven others and his 42 points led the team.

On defense, linemen such as Dick Bonner and Westerville's Bob Jacoby, both of whom were injured at various times, come to mind.

Add 1975's strong corps of sophomores and the next couple of years promise to be interesting for Otter fans.

"I just don't think we're that far away from being a very good football team," said Seils.

As they say, time will tell.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, this is radio station WOBN welcoming you" that's the way it legally started in those "dungeons" of Cowan Hall more than sixteen years ago.

On March 9,' 1959 the Federal Communications Commission granted WOBN a license for operation at 91.5 · megacycles. The previous radio station, known as WOBC, received pressure from the FCC for broadcasting illegally and without a license. On that day in 1959 WOBN became the third IOwatt FM station in Ohio and the thirteenth in the nation.

Programming for the first year consisted of religious shows and music that your parents would adore from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Saturday. They would occasionally do a special show or a sports event of some kind.

Formats stayed relatively the same between '59 through

1966 excepting the addition of an hour bringing the total weekly "on-the-air" time to approximately thirty hours. Also by 1966 WOBN was broadcasting all football and basketball games, a tradition which hasn't faltered since that time.

Early in the 1970's few if any major changes were made to the policy which had stood for the previous eleven years. In 1973 a student named Thom Heavey initiated some ideas which somewhat dramatically changed WOBN's style.

Heavey devised a module system which divided programming into morning music, Top 40 and progessive rock in addition to public service shows and classical music. This change not only brought more contemporary music to WOBN listeners but also brought the innovation of morning music. This enabled the Otterbein student to wake up and find out what was

S.~.U.L.

Black people 'have become self-destructive under the banner of blackness than they were under the rule of white supremacy. When have we ever been more again ourselves than we are now under so-called consciousness. We have misinterpreted blackness to mean something physical.

"To say that you are people of color means that you have physical color. To say that you are colored people means that somebody colored you. It means that you don't have originality, but that you are made.''

"Once you color a man's mind, you have a colored man The true definition of man is mind. So colored man means colored mind."

''Every time a new man of your kind comes before you, you get suspicious of him. You want your own but you are afraid to trust your own."

"A long history of having nobody to trust or to turn to but caucasian people has made you a people who are afraid to give, yourselves over to Black leadership."

happening on campus as well as listen to good music.

Since that time numerous additions and revisions to that style have occured. WOBN now · broadcasts for fourteen and a half hours a day and in excess of seventy-five hours per week which better than triples broadcast time of sixteen years ago. Geoff Mayfield in 1974 initiated an hour format entitled "Information Radio'' which really got the ball rolling for further campus involvement.

Current Station Manager Len Robinson feels that WOBN is becoming an increasingly valuable part of Otterbein and states that, "a good feedback for knowing WOBN is becoming more accepted is increased numbers of people working at the station."

It is indeed a difficult task to run a full time station with part time students. Hats should be off to Otterbein's radio station.
