Hamilton to. head new department of common courses Otterbein College academic dean Roy H. Turley has announced the appointment of William T. Hamilton (220 E. College Ave., Westerville) as chairman of the newly-formed Department of Common Courses, created by action of the College Senate this month. The revised Common Course mu ltidiscipline which Dr. Hamilton will chair is designed to be the nucleus of the liberal arts education at Otterbein College. Created to embrace the common theme, "The Nature of Man", it · is conceived _w ith the prime purpose of helping the student develop his abilities to become a truly humane individual. Although Common Courses were initiated at the College with the 3/3 Plan, too large classes, a confusion of purpose and theme, and a need
for central emphasis prompted the new department designed by the Task Force of the Long Range Planning Committee. Dr. Hamilton's experience in the common courses and other academic achievements including his current chairmanship of the College English Department were among the English professor's credentials for the new assignment. Dr. Hamilton has been chairman of the English Department for the past two years under a faculty rotation system. In addition to his duties as head of the English Department, Dr. Hamilton has taught classes in modern American and English literature and a number of seminars including the work of Faulkner, Hemingway, modern fie tion and a newly-designed
course which he created, the City in American Literature. When he assumes his new chairmanship this fall, he will continue to teach some English classes. He was graduated with the B.A. from the University of
Hamilton
Washington, the M.A. form the University of Maryland, and received his Ph .D. at the University of Minnesota. Of his new duties Dr. Hamilton said, "We are trying to develop the Common Courses so they will work together in such a way as to contribute to the liberal arts purpose of enabling the student to best understand himself, his society, and his relationship to the universe." Common courses will encompass religion, the seiences, philosophy, and the arts. "We'd like to encourage our student to develop into the kind of individual who, regardless of his field, will with the help of a good dictionary be as much at home with a sophisticated scientific magazine as with a poetry journal, and be able to appreciate either", he added.
A new facet of the Common Course to be introduced experimentally this fall will be a Freshman Seminar course taught with a limit of 15 students per s~ction. This will mean that approximatel 1 · 25 faculty members will be teaching sections of the Freshman Seminar. The Seminar has been created to help the incoming Otterbein student better understand the Common Course concept and develop his skills in writing and forms of expression which will be called upon during his four years at Otterbein. "The Nature of Man" courses will be taught in an upper and lower division with students required to take five courses from each division. In addition to the seminar, Common Courses at Otterbein include Continued on 8

Letters to the Editor Policy Th e Tan and Cardinal encourages students, faculty , and staff to write to our letters department concerning any matter that happens to be bothering you at any given moment. All letters r.nust be typed, double-spaced, and signed in ink with the author's name, address, and phone number included. No anonymous letters will be considered for publication.

Struggle at lntercultural Center To the Editor: There is a well founded assertion being disseminated among black students at Otterbein that the administration of this college, because of economic interests, is on the verge of converting the first floor of the Intercultural Center into a watered down facsimile of the Red Tub. Let us hope this assertion does not become a reality, for if it does there will be a struggle at Otterbein between those who have ( the black and international students) and those who intend to take (the Otterbein administration). At this juncture in Otterbein's histroy the Intercultural Center is the only place many black students can go and have an enjoyable time without experiencing dissension with their white peers ( dissension which is basically due to conflicts of culture). lf part of the Intercultural Center is transformed into the Red Tub there is a horrible fear in my psyche that before long (applying the domino theory) the members of the administration will find reason to expand into other areas of the Intercultural Center, and I don't mean the basement. Such an event would be a terrible tragedy
for Otterbein; therefore, in order to prevent such a possibility I suggest the black and international students (not white Americans passing as international students) should unite and make the college aware of our united opposition to any thoughts even if tentative of changing our Intercultural Center into the , "Red Tub and Intercultural Center". Such a protest can be waged by writing letters to one of all of the following: ( l) One of the members of the executive committee of the Otterbein College Board of Trustees; (look on page 147 in the 1972-73 Otterbein College Bulletin for the names of the members of the executive committee) (2) President Thomas J. Kerr IV (Administration Building); (3) Dean Joanne F. VanSant (The Student Personnel Office); (4) Charles H. Showell, Jr. (ROTC Office); (5) The editor of the Tan and Cardinal (Downstairs in the Campus Center). Tell these people of your concerns now! It is rather sad that I must leave Otterbein as I entered, fighting for black redefinition and liberation. If this is as it must be, then let all the black students, and if possible the in tern a tional minorities, join forces and struggle together. Yours In The Struggle, Eddie L. Parks College Senator
Movie mania maddening To the Editor: Recently, we have received a number of complaints concerning the behavior that has been displayed by a certain segment of the Campus Movie audience. It seems that the people in question have taken it upon themselves to enhance the evening's entertainment by loudly voicing superfluous (and usually obscene) remarks about the movie being shown.

One bad morning
by Susan Hail You had a bad morning. You spoke Spanish in French class again. You haven't seen anybody since the day before yesterday . And even then he didn't see you-does he ever?

You're not going to let one bad morning get you down, are you? You're not going to let a lifetime of bad mornings get you down, are you? Of course you aren't._You get up, carry your tray over, holding your breath so as not to drop anything, and h1rn to skulk down the side stairs. Stop-that's better. Head up, you movie-star your way down the winding staircase . Confident and ready to face the afternoon , you are nearly to the coat rack when you suddenly hear , "YOUR NAME!" A male voice! You are flattered. You turn, and see nothing but the usual row of heads, all judiciously facing the opposite direction. Sister, your day has been made. You have just been hung. The night the lights went out at Otterbein and the first innocent man (or probably, girl) was hung has faded from memory, but the originator of this tradition is still here.

A week ago he received a teaching offer from Autobind University and was traveling toward Festerburg to investigate Ii.is possibilities in the Dept. of Sanitation Engineering. The dew unfurled its fragrance as he locked his room, fired up his classic iris-mist Eldorado and roared across the Interstate toward the quiet, peacefull village. Not long after he whirred off the exit ramp, he was cruising calmly down Festerburg's business district, dodging the pigeons, the jacked-up primer-grey '5 5 Chevys, and the streams of chewing tobacco from the old men on the town bench. The hum of the Eldorado's super-ch a rged engine echoed impatiently between buildings as St o q u ely rounded the street corner which led him tp Au to bind 's picturesque campus.

As Stoquely perused the parking lot, a brillinat glimmer slashed at the edge of his eye. He glanced aroung the area and was dazzled by what his blood told him was an erotic awakening. The girl posing in front of the Campus Center appeared to h.im as a vision of unfathomable lovliness, a paradigm of purity and innocence , wrapped in a sorority

Sleuth: Mankiewicz makes good by John Abe r
My o pin i on of Joseph Mankiewicz 's new film Sleuth is so strong th a t it requires straightforward expres'Sion. Without hesi t ation , I must simply say that I loved it. I haven't had so much fun watching a movie since the last time I caught an old Sherlock Holmes flick-(too many months ago). I don't want to start comparing the team of Basil Rathbone and Negil Bruce with the Lawrence Olivier and Micheal Caine combination-(a futile pursuit at best)-but when it comes to the old WHO-DONE-WHAT-TO-WHO type of film , Olivier and Caine can certainly hold their own. But Sleuth h as a lot more than two fine actors going for it. Anthony Shaffer , who wrote the TonyAward winning play , has done r ema rk ably well in adapting his original script for use on the screen. He no t only provides u s with precisely timed t w ists i n p lot that are so necessary fo r th e success of a suspense-thriller, he somehow man age s to maintain that prec a ri o u s b al a nce between complete frustration and keen interest-thereby forcing us to keep watching the screen inspite of ourselves. There's an old adage which states that a good screenplay directs itself. If this is true , Mr. Mankiewicz must have had a reletively easy time with Sleuth. Of course , I don't mean to imply that Director Mankiewicz deserves no credit for his work on the film. He may not have had many problems in motivating action from the lines, but there are other matters a director must contend with. Things such as pace, timing, and composition are of no small significance to the art of the filmmaker. And Mankiewicz has always handled these factors with the skill of a master (remember The Barefoot Contessa?) . But with Sleuth he

New innovation in men's dorms The Personel Office is looking for 30 junior or Senior men in order to start a new innovation in the men's residence halls. A junior-senior dorm is the works for next year. The difference between this and previous plans for such housing is that the new dorm will contain unheard of improvements (well, for a men's dorm, anyway.) Davis Annex is the site for the new dorm. The rooms will contain shag carpeting and phones will be available. One can even have a single room. The dorm itself will be drastically improved. The name will be changed for a start. There will also be a kitchenette and perhaps a dining room. A stereo room, date rooms and even a 1a dies restroom will complete the picture. A minimum of 30 men are needed,

however, for the project to be feasible. And only men 20 years old or older are elegible . (No minors Allowed.) This is intended to be a starting point for improvements on the rest of the men's residence halls. The Personel Office is currently taking the names of those interested in staying in the dorm next year.

GOLFERS WIN The Otterbein golf team is presently 5 wins and 3 losses after three rain-soaked matches. The scores of the Friday April 6 match were fairly good as the Otters beat both Capital and Urbana 16-4 and 1 9 -1 respectively. The Otters then went to Wooster to play Wooster and Oberlin. The scoreS' soared on that day as Otterbein was bombed by Wooster 19- 1 but managed to beat Oberlin 15-5. The following day, the team travelled to De11ison. The results were high scores again with a loss to Denison and wins over Muskingum and Marietta. So, the Otters keep moving along, playing badly but still winning. Unfortunately the
members of the team are excu sing their play by planning to do well in the conference. This a ttitude is sure to hurt the team wh en the chips are down. The problems of the team seem o bvious, The team lacks professionalism, there is a coach in name only, and the team has no practice facilities and is not playing enough. Unless there is a change soon , the Otters will not do well in the Conference championship s. Any victories on that day will be exclusively individual: The Otters next match is May at Muskingu m agai nst ·
Muskingum and Wittenberg. Best of luck to the Otte r1,-they need all they can get.

By EDWARD JULIUS
Everything you always wanted Ed. note: The follo wing is an interview conducted by Tan and Cardinal reporter John Mulkie with Bill Smucker, chairman of the sub-committee to write the visitation proposal and chainnan of the student coalition for visitation. Smucker: f ohn, I'm pleased that you're doing this interview because I've been trying in the past few weeks to educate the college community about visitation, and the Tan and Cardinal provides an excellent vehicle for such communication. But first , I would like to make it clear that in discussing an emotional issue such as visitation, sometimes tempers flare and personalities clash. So, I feel I should state that my position on visitation and the work I've done to promote visitation at Otterbein has been from a pro-student, not an anti-administration viewpoint. Mull;ie: Everybody knows that visitation is. Why don't you define visitation in terms of how it applies to Otterbein. Smucker: Visitation is a system whereby Otterbein men and women may invite guests of their choice to visit within their re s pecti ve rooms under limitations designed to protect the conveniences and amenities of others. Mulkie: Visitation has been d isc ussed in the Campus Regulations Committee practically since the beginning of the year. Explain the difficulties which the committee encountered in discussing the issue, and why no results were obtained until the middle of March. Smucker: When we first got started on this question, most of our input was from the administration and was negative. By the time we'd complied all of the negative imput, it was well into winter term. Then, we decided to make junkets to other colleges already having visitation programs to -see if there were any positive aspects to visitation. Mulkie: Where did you go and what did you find? Smucker: We went to Muskingum and heard nothing but good reports from their administration, staff, and student counselors. We spent nearly th e whole day at Muskingum and asked many questions about the pros and cons of visitation. As we left Mu_skingum, we were all convinced that visitation could work and should be initiated at Otterbein because of the positive aspects of it. Mulkie : This leads in to my next question. Could you discuss the positive aspects of visitation? Smucker: Firstly, it affords a valuable opportunity to deepen the human relations formed on campus. I'm sure that nearly every couple on campus has at one time felt the need for privacy to escape the "stockade aura" of the cafeteria, dorm lounges, C.C. lounge, etc. Also,
at Muskingum, we were

repeatedly told that casual informal gatherings, sometimes between floors, were common. Such "no-risk" socialization was highly praised by everyone at Muskingum. Students remarked that visitation seemed to lead to an "opening up" of the general social atmosphere, helping communication between men and women. Mulkie: Otterbein's social life on the weekends is somewhat sparse , since everyone goes home. Do you think that visitation might improve this situation? Smucker: Most students that .go home every weekend do so because they have a guy or girl at home and the-se people will probably continue to go home on weekends. But some go home out of boredom. We've been led to believe by the administration at Muskingum that informal parties are common and these parties provide a casual and inexpensive form of entertainment as well as a vehicle for meeting people. It's possible that a system of visitation could increase social interaction between men and women because under this system, couples could spend very inexpensive evenings together listening to a stereo, watching TV , .:! tc. , and still have a great deal of privacy . Such social interaction is now mostly limited to fraternity and sorority date rooms, the pit TV room , and dorm lounges, all of which
Pawl ak feels visitation relevant 1
by Lee Schroeder As many of you already know, Ms. Pawlak is definitely for visitation on the Otterbein campus. Her views on this subject were facinating, yet at the same time, extremely relevant. As an upperclass woman, her college introduced coed-dorms and visitation which proved to be not onlr, , a
Pawlak necessary change, but a successful one as well. In Ms. Pawlak's opinion, the administration at Otterbein feels the student body is socially immature. If this is so, then isn't it better to face the problem then to assume a position of over-protection? She also feels that administrators and students alike are falling back on the
to know about visitation
lack the slightest amount of privacy . Mulkie: Speaking of privacy , one of the biggest arguements against visitation is the "invasion of privacy" idea or, in other words, the roomate problem. How do you feel about this? Smucker: Well, the present proposal is for 7 p.m. to 2 a.m . on Fridays and Saturdays, and from 12 noon to 10 p.m. on Sundays. I feel that during these hours which are the generally accepted socializing hours, there will be a minimum of roommate conflicts. Also, I hope that bodies concerned with programming activities will address themselves to this potential problem and provide a few late night activities for those roommates who may be asked to leave their rooms. I'm confident that any serious inconveniences or minor grievances can be resolved by the two roommates involved. Resolving roommate problems by confrontation, I feel, fits directly into the developmental living-learning experience that dorm life is suppqsed to provide.
Visitation Mulkie:
What happened Monday night at the Campus Regulations Committee meeting?
Smucker: Monday night, I felt that we made some definite progress in realizing our goal of preparing a workable visitation program. Our proposal is now in the final drafting stages and the committee is applying itself to the task of organizing the rationale. Our biggest concern at this point is meeting the deadline for the May senate meeting. But throughout the year, the Regulations committee has been working doubletime on the visitation issue and I'm reasonably sure that the committee will work even harder this week so tha1: the visitation proposal will be ready in time. Mulkie : You've mentioned to me several times about the need rules, resulting in a lack in strength of character on both parts. Some of the things standing in the way of visitation are the attitudes of some of the faculty who have sons or daughters enrolled at Otterbein. Many also feel that roommate problems would inevitably arise from visitation, but Ms. Pawlak definitely- feels that this will get people communicating at any rate. In order to prevent such problems from arising students will have to display greater responisbility and respectability. Many of Ms. Pawlak's students are for a limited program of visitation, and Ms. Pawlak herself feels there would be no better way for the college to show trust in its students than through visitation rights. Ms. Pawlak believes that the issue on visitation will pass senate, yet she is not sure whether the trustees will pass Continued on 8
for student organization. Could you comment further on this? Smucker: Yes, The student organization behind the visitation question is essential. Why? Because we as a student body must address ourselves to the task of education the faculty, administration, and other students. Without the proper education of those who are uncommitted or opposed to visitation, we have _little hope of an impressive victory in the senate . Also, we must show the faculty and the administration that the student body is unified on the question of visitation before they will give the question serious consideration. I might add that a student political coalition should be a permanent fixture at Otterbein. Only through political organization will the student body be able to effectively assert their opinions. For instance , students trustees should constrlt periodically with members of such a coalition so that they may better represent student opinions on important issues.
Mulkie : Well, we might as well get back to the old gripe about the apathy which hangs over Otterbein 's campus. This seemed to be evident at the rally which was held in the sceince lecture hall about a week and a half ago, in which the crowd size was anythin3 but encouraging. Do you think it's true that if the visitation proposal fails to pass,
Kerr on visitation by Kathy Fox "In the future we may have a form of visitation, with different facilities or different goals of the college. If visitation were adopted now, I think it would mean a goal change of the college." After two years of talking with students, parents administrators, and other college presidents and of studying the issue of visitation, President Kerr believes that visitation is not the for Otterbein at
Kerr time. Otterbein administrators have a variety of opinion, so he can not speak for them all. "Some of the people I've received imput from, particularly the people in the Admissions Office, Student Personnel, and Developmental Office see very great problems Continued on 8
it will be because of student disinterest? Smucker: Not necessarily . However, since the students have been supplying most of the impetus behind the visitation question , it seems only logical that the students will have to supply most of the energy needed to bring about a successful vote in the senate. At present, most of the work is being done at the committee and sub-committee level. But as soon as the Regulations Committee is able to finalize a visitation proposal and rationale, it will be time for ex tensive st'.!dent action. A skelton for the organization necessary has already been formed . All we need now is a proposal to use as a base upon which to build the nec essary organizational structure. If anyone is interested in aiding the visitation coalition, they should con tact Paula Schaller, Mike Wasylik, Don Goodwin, Sam Militello, Tom Miller, or myself. I don' t think that apathy will kill visitation. Admittedly , the turnout at the rally was slight, but as I said before , the time for massive student involvement has not yet come.
Mulkie: How do you think visitation will effect admissions? Smucker: I think that the effect will be minimal, if not undetectable. The arguement that visitation will decrease admissions is one that is based on no facts whatsoever. With v,giables such as tuition and admission requirements it is impossible to correlate visitation, or lack of it, to a drop or rise in admissions. Mulkie: What about the costs of visitation? Smucker: Don Goodwin and I have come up with a per student assessment of £3.00 per year. We based this on the fact that a visitation program will cost nothing in the women's dorms because the hours of · visitation coincide with the hours that the desk is normally open. In the men's dorms, where we suggest that they employ one man for Garst area desk , and one for the Davis area desk , men will have to be on duty for a total of 52 hours per week. Ten weeks will require 520 man hours, and a whole school year will require 1560 man hours. At $2.00 an hour , we anticipate a cost of S3120 per year, which comes to less than $3.00 per year per student. By the way, that breaks down to ten cents per week. Mulkie: Well, Bill, thanks a lot for taking the time to answer my questions. Do you have any comments? Smucker: Just this-if the students stick it out long enough and don't get discouraged, even if we should get defeated this first time around, I think that we can eventually bring visitation to Otterbein. It can be done. We have already gone farther than most peop!e expected, and with well-placed political energy and work, we may be able to surpass even our highest expectations ..

Congress votes in financial aid
Harmo~y night Monday
(CPS)-Acting with unusual speed , the House and Senate have approved funds for several student financial aid programs for academic 1973-7 4, including a small amount to . initiate the Basic Opportunity Grant (BOG) program. · A total of $895 million was committed to student aid including $122.1 million for the BOG program, $210.3 million for Supplemental Ed;µcation Opportunity Grants (SEOG), $270.2millionforCollegeWork Study, and $293 million for National Defense Student Loans (NDSL) . Congress virtually ignored President Nixon's spending priorities in funding NDSL loans and supplemental grants. The Presidnet's budget had deleted these two programs and requested $622 million for the BOG program instead. But Congress has matched to the penny the total funding level for student assistance sought by the President. The Nixon budget asked for $872 million with the lion' s share being given to BOGs. Congress took this total amount , refunded SEOGs, College Work Study and NDSL loans at last y ear's level, then placed the remaining$122millioninBOGs. THe $23 million difference is funds previously appropriated by Congress for NDSL loans but impounded by the President. Congress took this money and added it to NDSL loans for academic 1973-74, bringing the new appropriations for student financial aid for next year to $895 million. Another student aid program for next fall, Federally Insured Student Loans (FI SL), received funds last

into BOGs. T he Dominick amendment was accepted by 3 44-31 vote and his version was sent to a conference committee of the House and Senate. Bu t the House members remained adamant th at th eir bill go through intac t and only a few
hours after the first Senate ~ote, the conference comm1t~ee jumped t h e co mpromise amendment and sent the original House version back to both sides for a fin al confirmation vote . That vote came Wednesday April 18 as Congress hurried to clear legislation before a rece ss. . There had been fear on the part of the numerous education associations in Washington that if financial aid appropriations were not voted on m this session of Congress, then thousands of students would not know if funds would be avialable for next fall and they would perhaps postpone entering college for a year. This would have ahd a disastrous effect on higher education which already has had millions of dollars in federal aid axed by the Nixon budget. The big question is whether or not Nixon will accept the insult of having his budget priorities complerely disregarded by Congress. Student financial aid could easily become another victim of the battle betwe en the legislati ve and executive branches for control . of the federal pursestnngs. Nixon could simply veto the bill , let it die unsigned or sign it into law and then refuse to spend the money allocated for the programs he wishes to cancel. A veto could tie up student financial aid for months .

member. That committee, which has jurisdiction over education appropriations, had concluded hearings on student financial aid on Wednesday April 1 l. Sometime that evening Flood managed to tack financial aid money onto the appropriations bill that was voted on the next day . There was some resentment in the House at the manner in which the Flood Amendment appeared overnight. But Congress is aware that the programs had to be funded soon to benefit students entering school next fall. " They were beginning to feel the state of chaos in financial aid offices," said Layton Olson, director of the National Student Lobby (NSL) , one of the many groups trying to force action on the appropriations before the end of this session of Congress. The Senate Appropriations Subcommittee accepted the House figures and sent the bill to the floor of the Senate for a vote TuesdayApril17. Two amendments that would have reallocated funds among t he various programs were offered from the floor of the Senate chamber. Senator Clayborn Pell (D.-R.I.) proposed an emendment that would have eliminated NDSL loans and shifted those funds into th e BOG program . In an effort to reach a r,ompromise between the Pell A mendment and the House version of the bill, Senator Peter Dominick (R-Colo .) int rod uced an emendment that took half the NDSL lo::: n appropriation voted by the House and placed it

Marrietta here tomorrow by Robert Becker All se&.~n long, Otterbein's baseball team has been plagued with inconsistency, and it finally caught up with them. The hitting that produced an 8-6 victory at Ohio orthern disappeared in the crucial game against Marietta April 18. As a result Marietta won 1-0 behind the five hit piching of Jim Fryfogle and assumed sole possesion of first place in the • Southern Division. Gary Curts who threw a four hitter was the hard luck loser for Otterbein. Although his individual pitching record stands at 2 and 22, both losses have been close as indicated by his 1.38 IRA. Last Saturday, April 21, the 0 t t er s s p 1it non -1 e ague doubleheader against Urbana. In the first game Otterbein romped 6-2 behind the four-hit pitching of Jim Inniger. In the second 18:01.2, which breaks the old Otterbein record by almost a full minute. As was the case during the indoor season, the Otters distance squad has made itself known in the OAC. Coming from a 3 man squad just 4 years ago, the Otters now are one of the contending distance schools in the conference. Other Otterbein points were recorded in the 880 relay, Daryl Bell, Mike Westfall, Gene Paul, and Jim Cox ran a 1:31.4 for 6th· Scott Miller, Dale Chittum, Ro~er Retherford fmished 6th in the 360 yeard shuttle high hurdles; Roger Retherford, Mark Bixler, and Daryle Bell tied for 5th in the triple jump relay; Greg Landis, Ron Gorman, and Dan Fagan fmished 4th in the high jump; Mike Thomas, Jim Cox, Randy Smith, and Gene Paul tied for 3rd in the 40 relay; and Bruce Schneider, Rusty Shields, and Gary Belknap finished 3rd in the pole vault relay.

A writing clinic will be implemented next autumn for the Common Course Program. Dr. Hamilton will also encourage and assist faculty members teaching the Commom Courses by finding relevant lecturers, films that support the materials, and provide academic means of tying the courses together so their interrelationship is clear to the student at every level. The Otterbein Common Course structure will involve about one-third of the college student's time during his four years at Otterbein, and over one-third of the entire faculty will be teaching within this concept.

for the college" if visitation is adopted. President Kerr said that there is no way to predict if visitation would change Otterbein's financial status or the number of applicants, one way or the other. He said that there probably are certain students who would come here if we had visitation. He is also sure that one of the reasons some students are. here is because there is no visitation. "There is a great need for more socialization between men and women on this campus." Ten years ago when President Kerr first came to Otterbein, most of the students belonged to fraternities and sororities, which planned the all-campus events. Now that Greeks gradually seem

to be fading out, nothing is taking their place. But President Kerr does not believe visitation is the best way of handling the problem. He is afraid that instead of solving a problem, it might create new ones. "The facilities aren't designed well" for visitation. He stressed that a dorm is a "group living experience," which requires certain rules so that people can live together. And for the roommate "privacy is a very important issue." President Kerr does not believe that · seperate floors or dorms designated for visitation would help with "the kinds of structures that we have, which are group living facilities with very small sleeping, study rooms." He does not feel that it is a good place to entertain anyone. If we would have different facilities, single rooms or apartments, then, he says, visitation would be more practical. President Kerr sees dorm life as part of Otterbein's "total education ." He says that visitation with the facilities available would be a "de-emphasis of the use of residence halls as a learning experience." It would mean that "we're not really concerned with what happens in the residence halls. At Otterbein we look at education as a total process. Some schools have goals that have overwhelming interest in what takes place in the classroom and they really don't care about the lives of the students." A dorm rearrangement that would put males in Clements or send females back to the quad may be possible at a later date. "We'll have more space than we need," and so may be able to plan facilities for small group interaction and perhaps dorms that will make visitation more practical. Until then, "wait to see what kinds of patterns develop on the campus with the construction of the phys ed facility." Since classes will be held there, the traffic will flow more toward the "men's · reservation." "We should remain open to try to find the best kinds of patterns for the students." If we would adopt visitation now, it would mean losing "one of the distinctive characteristics we have," that of caring for the total lives of the students. Visitation, at the present, "might hurt us more than help us."
The Truth Continued from2
be? I would like to speak briefly to two areas. I) Jesus' claims concerning himself and 2) the histroical reality of his resurrection. Both Dan and Steve equated J e s u s o f Nazar e th with Siddhartha Gautama, who is called Buddha. "Buddha" means enlightened one and this man claimed to have found a way for men to find salvation. He was himself, however, an agnostic; doubting the existence of any god. Jesus Christ, on the other hand claimed not to have found a way, but he claimed to be "the Way, the Truth, and the Life." (John 14:6). He also claimed
over and over again to be God Himself. He claimed to be equal with the Father in essence (John 10:30); in honor (John 5:23); in goodness (Mark 10: 18); and in self-existence (John 8: 58). The fact that He claimed to be God is inescapable. This was the very reason the Jews killed Hirn, because "He made Himself out to be the Son of God" (John 19:7). If then a man claims to be God, we must either dismiss the man as a liar or a lunatic: or, if the claim is true, we must worship Hirn · as Lord. When Jesus Christ rose from the dead in space time history he offered rational, reasonable evidence for the validity of His claims to deity. The historicity of the resurrection of Christ is not, as Steve Graves suggests. "A peculiar obsession of narrow theology possessed by an attempt to 'prove' that it has a monopoly on the market of truth." It is rather a historical fact which must be dealt with . Without even referring to any of the gospels (all of which by the way are the most reliable documents of the period; Luke's gospel, along with Thucydides History, being the par excellence of ancient histories), secular evidence affirms that Christ's resurrection was a spacetime event. Josephus, a Jewish historian writing at the end of the first century A.D. says in his Antiquities, 018.3.3 : "Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise .man, if it be lawful to call him a man: for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him many Jews, and also many of the Greeks. This man was the Christ. And when Pilate had condemned him to the cross, upon his impeachment by the principal man among us, those who had loved from the first did not forsake him, for he appeared to them alive on the third day, the divine prophets having spoken these and thousands of other wonderful things about him. And even now, the race of Christians, so named from him, has not died out." THis is the statement of a Jewish historian, under the dominion of Rome, writing to please the Romans. This story would hardly have pleased the Romans, and he would not risk including it if it were not true. The evidence continues. Tertullian (c. 160-220) of Carthage, North Africa writes that all the things the Bible records about Jesus were true and that because of these events Pilate himself, "in fact a Christian in his own convictions, sent word of Hirn to the reigning Caesar, who was at the time Tiberius. Yes, and the Caesars too would have believed on Christ, if either the Caesars had not been necessary for the world, or if Christians could have been Caesars. His disciples also spreading over the world, did as their Divine Master bade them; and after suffereing greatly themselves from the persecutions of the Jews, and with no unwilling heart, as having faith undoubting in the truth, at last by Nero's cruel sword sowed the seed of
27 1973
Christian blood at Rome." Space does not permit the citing of any more historians. But the evidence continues to build and build forcing many scholars to say along with Professor Edwin Gordon Selwyn of London, "The fact that Christ rose from the dead on the third day in full continuity of body and soul-that fact seems as secure as historical evidence can make it." Indeed the changed lives of hundreds of students here at Otterbein are also testimony to the fact that Jesus is alive and Lord . I include my name with theirs. There is only one way to explain my life : I have been changed from within by the living resurrected Christ, Dan and Steve may choose not to worship my Lord, but may I say the choice is one of their wills and not their intellect. "Protestant fundamentalism" withstands all tests of historical investigation. It is truth, and truth always tends to be exclusive of that which is false. Indeed, Christian's claims that Jesus is the only way to God does not produc e narrow-mindedness, it produces one mindedness ; and since we have the truth that is our prerogative . Sincerely, Rick McKinniss
What God thought To the Editor: The T &C finally prompted a response from me. It's not that God needs my meager offering but it's the fact that I want to make my Lord known, which is influencing me to write. I couldn't help but wonder what God thought of the two articles which referred . to His Son, His Spirit, His People, and Himself. I imagine He was pleased to think that he was given more space than any other single topic of interest. At least that is the factor which most impressed me. I was encouraged by the thought that Christiantiy, not Hinduism, Judaism, or some other religion, was of such importance to warrant two articles. I am praising God that He is so alive that men are still encountering Hirn and feeling the need to debate His worth. The timing of these articles seems like more than mere coincidnece. Many, many years ago at approximately this same time Christ was arrested, convicted, and hung on the cross. Men ridicule him and scoffed at his followers. But Christ was not bound by death. He overcame death and was resurrected. That is the beauty of the whole thing. Christ is not a man who died and thus ended his work. But He is a man who triumphed over death and seated himself at the right hand of God so that he could intercede for those who believe in Hirn. (Hebrews 7:25, 8:1) It's wonderful to serve a living God and to know that nothing can separate me from His love. (Romans 8 : 38, 39) It is great to know that my God can not be hurt by the expressions of man. He has already won that battle on the cross for all times. (Colossians 2: 15) Sincerely, Cindy Baird
