Leadership Skills Developed At Workshop

By Lois McCullen

A leadership workshop organized by Student Personnel and attended by student leaders and person s interested in group dynamics was held Saturday, Sept. 30, at Troops Farm north of Otterbein College.

The workshop ran all-day and was led by facilitator Dr. Gary Smith who serves as associate director of the Family Practice Center in Akron, Oh io. Smith has previous experience with student leadership from his work in student affairs at Kent State University.

Otterbein staff aided Smith in programming and with some aspects of leadership directly related to Otterbein. The staff

hoped to improve cpmmunication_ among student leaders, give participants a better perspective on the part organizations play in the educational process, give participants information about working effectively on campus, present a leadership model and give participants experience in leadership behavior.

The goals were achieved through a series of discussions, exercises and role-plays which allowed maximum participation from those present.

Goals of specific organizations represented at the workshop were identified; leadership styles, strategies and decision making were evaluated and role,play offered students a chance to act as

"problem" group members.

Most students were enthusiastic. Mary Ann Deer, a junior representing Pi Kappa Delta National Forensics Honorary, said that the workshop "was beneficial because it provided the opportunity to get to know other student leaders as well as practice our own leadership skills."

Senior Jon Amy, President of Torch & Key and Archagia Circle, stated: "I was impressed with the programming of the workshop and found the information and exercises applicable to my offices."

Cindy Lyman, a sophomore who chairs CPB Movie Committee, said the workshop "showed leaders how to handle different meeting

ABC News AirS on WOBN

By Stacy Reish

ABC Information News wired into Otterbein College radio station WOBN September 29 brings a new dimension to the station's coverage of national and international news.

According to Station Manager Joe Corbett, ABC News was selected because "it would add to the professionalism (of WOBN) and would free the students to work on campus and local news."

Services offered by ABC include news at the top of every hour with expanded "World Wide Wrap-ups" heard at 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Sports follow s the 5 p.m. news Monday through Friday, and "World Wide of Sports" airs every hour during the weekend. "For now," stated Corbett, ''we're using the news and update service. In the future, we may pick up some public affairs." Local and campus news will air four times daily on the half hour, as WOBN resumes its 7 a.m. to midnight program schedule on October 9. Special programming, featuring sports, call-in shows, interviews and previews of special events rounds out the non-musical portion of WOBN's format.

"We're still rebounding from the twin disasters of fire and flood last year," explained Dr. James Grissinger, adviser for the station, "But we are in the process of putting the finishing repairs on the damaged areas.

The exciting thing about ABC News," he continued, "is that it brings to campus another common industry tool, allowing broadcast

majors to further develop their skills."

As a part of this learning experience, ABC offers free service to educational stations, although Ohio Bell does charge for the lines that brings the news to campus. This fee, however, is much less than the $2,000.00 per school year charged for the present UPI wire service. "The UPI service will be terminated this winter," stated

Corbett. "It's just too expensive for its limited use."

Knowing that WOBN would need a new format in news coverage, Corbett began examining the various services last spring. The results of his investigations became obvious last Friday with the installation of the ABC News equipment. In Corbett's opinion, this represents a step foward for WOBN.

Alarm -System Ineffective

By Ramona Huff

Otterbein has spent $120,000 in a fire alarm and emergency lighting system which may be ineffective.

There have been seven false alarms in two and a half weeks. Curious students stick a cigarette near the sensitive smoke detector just to see if it will go off.

"The problem is people not acting maturely and responsibly," said Woodrow Macke, vice-president for business affairs. "These false alarms could lead to a delayed response or to no response at all," he said.

The Westerville Fire Department has voiced concern because of the false alarms. Last week the fire department was delayed from responding to a fire, while at Otterbein on a false alarm.

Macke said that as fire codes keep changing Otterbein keeps upgrading its fire detection system.

Just before Labor Day �new __ automatic smoke alarm system was installed in t!'ie Rike Cen�r, the Campus Center, Cowan Hall and all dormitories except Engle Hall.Otterbein ha_g not planned to use Engle Hall this year..

The new reporting alarm system in these bui!dings is co�nected � the switchboard and to the service department, providing double 24hour protection for occupants. Part of the system is a generator which I provides emergency lights for people to see to get out of the buildings if there is a power failure.

"Davis Hall is still a problem," Mack e said. "The alarm is not loud enough to wake up some of the sleeping mel!- Lou�er sirens are to be installed."

"Towers Hall is also a problem," Macke said. "People ignore the rules and smoke in non-smoking areas."

Bob Moon Departs

Bob Moon,former assistant director for public relations.

Assistant Public Relations Director Bob Moon today ends his three-year career at Otterbein _ Colleg�.

Beginning Monday, ho will be exercising his imaginative talents to promote the Columbus Symphony Orchestra.

The Bowling Green University graduate came to the Westerville campus in 1975. At that time he was primarily responsible for Ot�_!"bein sports information.

His past two year's work has been primarily with publications, ranging from newsletters to catalogs.

Active in the Adult Degree Program, Moon is proud to have had "a small part in its growth through publications and advertising."

With his knowledge of graphics, layouts, and writing, Moon was advisor to the Sibyl staff in past years.

These skills will now be focused upon promoting the numerous activities the Orchestra offers to the public.

Moon said he will "miss the associations with many people at Otterbein," but is "eagerly anticipating this opportunity to get more into the Columbus community."

Moon's replacement as assistant director is unknown at this time.

The Partnership

Education is big business. And it grows ever more so as industry and multi-national conglomerates and international corporations expand and gain more power - for ever more so is education forced to rely upon business giants for their future. Who, or what else is there. Where else but in big business may a school find the money necessary to develop new programs, to build new facilities, even to maintain what they have been? Education and industry are "partners in free enterprise."

In a public relations piece from the Ohio Foundation of Independent Colleges, an organization with Otterbein President Thomas Kerr IV, as chairman, Felix N. Mansager, Chairman of the Hoover Company Executive Committee, said, "We have now reached a point in time when business and education have mutual interests and concerns " Gone are the "differences and mistrust (that) plagued corporations and higher education."

Now all is well. Now we can work together to build a better tomorrow, we can grow to meet the needs, expand to embrace that people whose lives and efforts have carried America to greatness. Now we can rely on plastic public relations to present us a picture of perfection and fulfillment - at last we have come together and are striving for the same tomorrow, for the same wonderful world of .

Nonsense. Utter nonsense.

Big- business and true education will, must, ever be at odds, for business is concerned with the immediate matter of money and how to train people to help it make more - and true education is concerned with the immediate matter of the individual and his relationship to the ' world around him.

Education does not disregard the need to prepare for a living; however, it does see living as more than just material gain. When business gets a big say in education, look to an expansion of technical and specialized courses - away from the study of man and human nature and to "only" the study of formulas and mechanical action.

Business and education, as the PR piece stated, have had differences and mistrust. And in our minds those differences and that mistrust have worked positively for both. They did not keep business from supporting education nor did they keep education from developing those who would become the fast talking executives. What those friction spots did, and we hope still do, is keep both parties questioning and examining their own positions as well as that of their friendly antongonist. Look to the checks and balances. We need them.

the show for another night.

Once through, past the talkers, the mood is gone, gone and replaced by curiosity at the strange dinly theatre where an uncharacterizable audience sits twitching and shuffling. There is a certain freedom in the audience, as though they possess the anonymity absent in so many small' cities. They sit in slip-covered movie seats, one that doesn't pinch a little person.

The viewing room is not attractive. The walls are covered with a soft-looking cloth, velours or the like, and wrinkles make it look like it will fall to the floor in a great bunch. Crooked plants hang over exit signs, and the floor doesn't slant, it dips. Heads in the next aisle are a problem which only learning solves.

People don't feel self-conscious about walking up the aisle or changing seats. Fluidity seems to be a common ground provided by the setting. The place is like an old small town movie house, say in the 1950s. Friendly, free and easy.

The only problems seem to be technical ones; the sound system is lousy and the projector is tempermental, having a tendency to

Although the films which show there have often been out for years, they are those having won great acclaim - not· by the money boys in full-page ads but by those who supposedly know something about quality: critics; producers; directors; etc. The films are not ordered by whim or marketing reports; rather they are selected by the customers. Just before the exit is a bulletin board decorated by notices, newspaper clips, for-sale signs, movie reviews, notes and a conspicuous box where favorite choices in movies may be deposited.

Otterbein Associate Professor Dr. William T. Hamilton spent his_ summer at Michigan State University studying "The Functions of Discourse in Science and Literature."

"The main focus of the seminar was on the similarities and differences in the way language is used in science and literature," the 12-year Otterbein instructor said. "We spent a lot of time comparing the scientific model to literary metaphor."

Teaching Triads

By Robert Engelbach

Teachers criticizing teachersthere you have Otterbein's unique Teaching Triad program. Three professors from different departments attend each other's classes and evaluate teaching methods.

Triads last for a total of two terms. There are five per year. In the four years since the program was founded, there have been 41 participants. Last year, a few applicants were turned away.

Dr. William Hamilton, chairman of the Integrative Studies department and co-founder of the program, said, "Generally, reaction has been favorable-. The participating professors have gotten a lot out of it, such as advice on correcting weaknesses in their teaching styles, as well as making friends with the other two in the Triad. They also expand their perspective by sitting in on classes in another department (for example, a literature teacher visiting a music class).

"Of course, some professors are against it," said Hamilton.· "They may have had bad experiences, such as being incompatible with the other Triad members, or they could not put enough time into it. Some think it is a silly idea."

Career Program Begins

A four-year program for caree1 exploration and preparation has been designed and is presently being implemented by Otterbein Career Developmental Consultant Mary Lynne Musgrove.

Developed to assist students in choosing a career, the program's four stages coincide with the four years of undergraduate schooling. As freshmen, emphasis will be on self-identific;ation, as sophomores, on exploring jobs allowing selfexpression and as juniors, on participating in the internship or cooperative education programs which provide job experience. The senior year will be devoted to drawing up resumes and participating in mock-interviews.

This year's freshman clss will be

New Administrator Finds Friendly Campus Small, Conservative

BY Mary Ann Deer

He received his degree in May, was married in July, came to Otterbein in August - and so it went and continues to go.

Bob Gatti, Otterbein's new Assistant Dean for Student Development (men), in speech personalized with "y'alls" and ''you knows" and flavored with a peculiar but appealing accent, explained that since he arrived at Otterbein, the pace has been a quick one.

Prior to the arrival of students he was busy assuming responsibilities in the Student Personnel Office and prepari ng to be the Head Resident in Davis complex. In addition, he was planning to tieach a course, advise Inter-Fraternity Council and work with commuter students.

"It was really hectic at first but now I am beginning to see the results of my work," Gatti said.

Gatti's office day begins around 9:30 a.m. and is filled with appointments, meetings, individual conferences and program planning. Once or twice a week he eats lunch in the commuter center and on Tuesday and Thursd ay evenings he

teaches Psychology 44 with a graduate student from Ohio State.

"On evenings that I don't teach, I spend some time in the halls just· meeting guys. Getting to know them involves more than just finding out their name, major, and hometown. I want to know why they are who they are," he said.

Gatti comes to Otterbein from his hometown of Indiana, Pennsylvania. He did his undergraduate work in journalism at the University of South Carolina. It was there that he met his future wife, Jackie, a physical education major from Atlanta, Georgia.

"I dragged her to Indiana University (Pennsylvania) for graduate school," Gatti said with a smile. "She worked on a degree in guidance and counseling while I worked on mine in student personnel."

The switch from undergraduate work in journalism to graduate work in student personnel was not as abrupt as it might seem .. Gatti explained: "As an undergrad I was a member of Pi Kappa Phi national fraternity and served as public relations director

Those who were there were often counseling on subjects that were not important and ignoring others that were," Gatti said.

Thanks, in part, to a ''to-do" list and his belief in the essential quality of time management, Gatti finds time to golf, play raquet ball or run with his wife, Jackie.

Recently the Gatti's ran three miles in a marathon at Ohio State.

"We're really enjoying our experience here," Gatti said, speaking for his wife and himself.

"Otterbein is a quiet school. It's new and different for me because I'm used to large, more. liberal schools. But I am beginning to see the benefits of a small campus in the openness of individuals. The fact that I can know almost all students by name, or at least by face, breaks down many barriers."

Special workshops for sophomores, November 15, and juniors, �ovember 7, will cover needs assessments and picks up where the students would normally be had they begun the program as freshmen.

According to Musgrove most students entering college are not able to describe themselves outside the context of their family or previous environment.

"They are not able to make a strong "I" stand," said Musgrove, "and therefore are unable to say what they are interested in as individuals. They cannot say here are my values, my interests, what intrigues me. A person needs to establish himself before looking into a career."

R.A.s are All in Readiness

A resident assistant, better known as an R.A., is a student resident.; who has been chosen to take responsibility for the particular floor he or she lives on. Students apply for the position of R.A. winter term and after a screening process are selected spring term. One or two are assigned to each floor of each residence hall on campus. This year there are approximately twentyeight resident assistants.

One of the R.A.'s main duties is to be aware of student, hall and campus problems and be a knowledgeable referral source. R.A.'s assist the Head Resident in advising and planning hall programs and keeping the Head Resident informed of problems, interests and needs of the residents. They assist in the opening of residence halls and the distribution of mail.

Women's intercollegiate volleyball at Otterbein is changing its name and its players. The new name of the game is power volleyball, a high skill level of competition, where girls must not only be physically conditioned but, moreover, mentally prepared.

This year's new coach, Miss Terri Hazucha, has introduced power volleyball to Otterbein.

Practicing everyday, this year's team is made up of 14 players and is preparing for the fullest season ever (30 matches, plus state tournament, all in six weeks.) Miss Hazucha says that the team is experienced, but that strong team unity and proper conditioning will lead to its. success.

In a pre-season tournament last week the Otter women were fairly successful as they defeated two teams, and in stiff competition, lost two.

Karen Fishbaugh served seven straight points in their second game against Mount Vernon, bringing the team to a 15-9 victory. Senior Kim .

Martin scored five consecutive points and forced the other team to regroup in a time out.

Fourteen were selected for this year's team out of the 25 who tried out. They are freshmen, Dona Clem, Gwen Dean, Lisa Jones, and Mindy Gossett; sophomores, Beth Flanagan and Kathy Miller; juniors, Mary Ellen Donahoe, Karen Fishbaugh, Jan Gillman and Tammi Hottinger; and seniors, Cindy Maxhimer, Kathy Schuller, Th eresa Wallace and Kim Martin.

Their first official game of the season was Monday night against Muskingum College and Ashland. They were defeated by Muskingum 4-15, 7-15, but made a come back against Ashland with a close 15-6, 11-15, 11-15.

The next scheduled home game is this Saturday when the Otter Intercollegiate team challenges Marietta, Bluffton, and Findlay.

Take time out to see our girls in action. But, don't expect to see "picnic style of play," says their coach, because power volleyball is what her hitters and setters will be up for!

SPORTS TALK

John Hulkenberg

- Network television has its share of sport announcers. Some are good and some are bad. This article will examine a few of the commentators who are on the air today.

Announcers are entertainers in a way and must be judged in that manner. First of all, for ABC the top choices have to be Keith Jackson, Al Michaels, Jim McKay and Frank Gifford. The winner here is Jim McKay who is host of ABC's Wide World of Sports. He has the television experience and knowledge of sports. For NBC, there is a tie between Dick Enberg and Jim Simpson. John Brodie has to be given strong consideration though.

The CBS top man is Brent Musburger with Pat Summerall a distant second. The overall winner

for the best sportscaster goes to Dick Enberg. He is scheduled to host the 1980 Olympics for NBC.

Moving now to the bottom of the group, NBC has Len Dawson and Curt Gowdy. Gowdy appeared to have shown bias during the 1975 World Series. He also mispronounced the names of several Kansas' basketball players during last year's N .C.A.A. tournament. ABC has Andrea Kirby and Howard Cosell.

The city of Baltimore has been the target of Cos.ell recently. In a recent Monday Night football game, he analyzed the Colts situation in his own enimable style. The Baltimore owner later verbally attacked Cos.ell. CBS has Brock Yates who covers the motor sports and doesn't seem to know what he is doing. The overall winner (or loser), of course, is Howard Cosell.

The rest isn't so hard to figure out. The crooked surgeon finds out one of the girls is a phony, and, after he has her knocked out, prepares to operate on her to give her the face of the murderous movie-queen, and the latter, the face of our girl reporter. Fortunately, the girls' guardianangle-T.V.-news-editor manages to give a heart-rendering little sermon about the importance of a face to a once disfigured deaf-mute assistant surgeon, who 'in turn stops the Number One Baddie from operating - permanently. The cops come and haul both of them off, the deaf-mute timoniouslysanc apoligizing to the girls.

The problem with this show doesn't lie with jiggles but with giggles. Our scoop-eyed girls don't jiggle but the ludicrousness of the plot might make some people giggle. If you don't think the stories are stupid, you'll at least have. to admit they're no seasoning on an already bland T.V. diet. The plots are routine, typical of almost any other action-drama show that has come and gone during the last five years. However, they do seem to lean a little closer to "The Wonderful World of Disney" than "Lou Grant", or even "Charlie's Angles" without the jiggle. One episode I saw dealt with the girls going undercover at a posh health spa to find a movie star who had been given a new face by a crooked surgeon, in order to escape the police who were pursuing her beca�se she had killed her husband.

season, I don't think I would brand it a "jiggle" show.

Especially since the new season has started and the number of "Charlie's Angels" genre (or "jiggle" shows as they are called in the business) has doubled on the networks.

A couple of years ago, all you'd hear people complaining about was violence on T.V. Well, the network execs just hate to hear people complain (especially wheri the noise finally gets to the sponsors), so in their infinite wisdom, they decided to replace violence with sex. telyUnfortuna for them, that substitution was about as effective as chasing down an aspirin with lemon juice.

The Mellotron, finally used y,effectivel whis pers in oh so slightly near the end, leaving a solemn impression on the listener which leaves him craving for more. Justin Hayward, Ray Thomas , Graeme Edge, John Lodge, and Michael Pinder the, Moody Blues, continue to produce superior music that leaves most other rock music in the dust. But are they leaving the listeners in the dust too?

The final cut from the album, "The Day We Meet Again," as too many of the other tracks relies on Mellotron and electric piano to carry the introduction to the s.choru

Mellotron and A.R.P. synthesizers play a big part in the Moody Blues' music, especially the tune "Survival". If it weren't for the synthesizer in this tune, the vocals would suffer greatly. The chorus begs someone to listen as it builds to a climax and shrewdly questions society's ideals. Engineering and sound mixing are nearly flawless.

Possibly the finest cut off the album, "I Had To Fall In Love," features the writing abilities of Justin Hayward. He composes not just a piece of music. but a masterpiece. Imaginative harmonica and _acoustic guitar go)os add a quiet, calm tone to the piece and makes it at home in your heart. This song, like so many of their others, displays the "old" Moody Blues in that two or three melodies are simultaneously chanted in a pleasing, melodic way. Possibly the greatest trait of the piece is that it is allowed to s1owly develop or evolve.

Turning to Dusty Blues?

Highlighting a few cuts off of the Moody Blues' new album, Octave; "Steppin' In a Slide Zone," the first cut, is a rhythmic piece of music heavily dependent on synthesizer to get the piece flowing. The track is musically sound, but technically weak as the listener must strain to hear the first stanza of lyrics. The synthesizer solo, could be remixed and emphasized more. As in all tracks of this album, there is great guitar and synthesizer work. This, coupled with composer John Lodge's knowledge and ability to rumentalize,inst fortunately make up for the engineering flaws.

The style that set the Moody Blues apart from all other rock groups in the sixties continues right through the seventies. The record industry has yet to see another group with engineering quality, instrumentatjon, or complicated melodies which can compare with that of the Moody Blues. Yet, while having such characteristics, their nde product reflects an image that's eleven years old. The Moody Blues' music depends heavily on rhythm, which at times can get old.
