Otterbein Student Shot Campus security urges labeling of valuables by Jim Wallace When I spoke to Ted Shonkwiler I really didn't expect him to tell me much, and he didn't. He's been in the hospital since the shooting on Feb. 22 and he's still in some pain. The police and the F .B.I. either have no information or aren't going to give any if they do. The Attempt on Ted's life was, he thinks, definately connected with his campaign for city council. Ted is still in the race by the way. The F .B .I. are still on the case. During my conversation with the young candidate I found that the phone was being tapped. He is being released from Riverside Hospital early so that he can go over the scene of the crime with police and F.B.I. agents.

There is little else to say other than expressing thanks for Ted for the concern of his friends on campus.
Burglaries and thefts are two of the fastest growing major crimes in the United States. With your assistance, we can cut down on the number of tJiefts and at the same time make some apprehensions and recover more property. We ask your assistance in reducing the number of thefts through a voluntary program we call "Operation Identification." Operation Identification is designed to help drive the thief out of business. A thief usually steals money or something he can quickly convert into money. Many of your valuables already have serial numbers as identifying marks, which are usually easily removed. Contrary to popular opinion, not all items have serial numbers: some portable television sets and small appliances for instances. This
makes the items difficult to identify. We suggest that your valuables be marked with your sociai" security number in case identification is necessary. Do not place your identification number on or near an existing serial number plate. After marking your belongings, make a list of each item marked and the location of the mark. Possible items to be marked: Appliances, binoculars, cameras, clocks, musical instruments, sporting equipment, radios, stereos, tape recorders, televisions, typewriters, and any other item you consider valuable. There are many simple hand tools found around campus that . can be used to mark your items, such as: a metal file, a nail or even a screwdriver.
HEART DRIVE NETS $2000
·······························································
One of the most successful service-oriented projects performed by the Otterbein student body took place on Heart Sunday, Feb. 25. With the leadership of Arnold Air Society and Angel Flight, the ROTC corps joined forces with actives and pledges of several sororities and fraternities on campus. Approximately 95 people
represented. From most of them came both actives and pledges. Also, two fraternities helped out considerably. About twelve Sphinx pledges participated, which really took some guts after walking all night the night before. Another large contingent involved about twenty Jonda pledges along with seven active Jonda members.
were involved in the Heart Fund Drive. About 50% of these came from the traditional source of personnel for the past ten years: ROTC cadets and Angels. However, this year, the other 50% involved volunteers from Greek organizations; people willing to give some of their time and effort to this cause. All seven sororities were
Cardinals finish fine season with 19-6 mark by Dennis Collins The string was out for Otter bein's surprising '72-'73 squad last Thursday night on the first night of the .Ohio Conference basketball tourney. Losing to Marietta, 63-59, in the first night's action, the loss was a disappointment but also a bit of relief that the end had actually come. Playing back to back thrillers, twice a week for almost two months straight, these die-hard Otters, lived with a good dose of gambler's luck - it was all used up by Thursday night. They finished the season with a 19-6 overall record and a 10-2 conference mark. "We finally lost a starter with an injury and that really hurt," explained rookie Coach Dick Reynolds. Sophomore center Jim Reed (Columbus Watterson) had played the last four games with a broken jaw - two of those games before anyone knew it. Reed, wired only the day before last Tuesday's finale at B-W, played little against the Yellow Jackets and almost not al all against Marietta. _" And we were just dog tired," Reynolds said, referring to Otterbein's exhaustive 24-game season schedule, the busiest of any team in the Conference. While most of the OC teams finished season play the Saturday before the tourney Otterbein had to battle Baldwin Wallace, Tuesday, in Berea, for a
share of the OC title. But their 72- 71 emotional win took plenty of steam from the already beleaguered Cards. Thirteen of the Card's 25 games, just over half, were decided by four points or less of those Otterbein won 11 and lost only two. Eight games were decided by two points or less ·_ the Otters lost only one of those - the 57-56 defeat by Ohio Northern in overtime. The Cards won their two other overtime games (Wright State, 74-70; Heidelberg, 77-75). Those six Cardinal losses are a curious ·grouping. In their first loss (their third game), the still-experimenting Cardinals were just out-classed by college division power Akron, 87-72. That 57-56 overtime defeat by Ohio Northern was the turning point of the season, according to Dick Reynolds. "That was the first and last time we lost a game by losing our poise," Reynolds said. Bloomsburg State, currently 18-1 and a college division power, beat the Cards on a cold (shooting) night in Pennsylvania. "If we shot our average, I'm sure it would have been down to the wire," Reynolds said about the Christmas Tourney game. {To make amends, the Cards scored a 101-61 runaway over U. of Wisconsin, River Falls the falling night). The 73-70 defeat by Ohio Wesleyan came only two nights
after the emotional 64-62 victory over the nation's eighth-ranked squad and Otter' Arch rival, Capital. Just a week before that great win, the Cards peaked for their finest victory,
The ROTC detachment knew early this year that it alone could not possibly execute this drive. They needed a lot of energetic help from the campus, and they got it. Thanks to this help, Otterbein students were able to collect $2,023.28. This is the largest amount ever collected being an 18% increase over last year's record high. the 69-61 blockbuster over defending OC Champ Wittenberg. Muskingum, the second last Cardinal nemises, whipped the Cards throughly on an uncharacteristic cold shooting night, 73-57, in probably the
If and when an item is stolen, give this information to the police officer or campus security. When leaving your room for any reason, lock your door and take your money with you. If there are any questions concerning Operation Identification, contact Campus Security.
