Valentine Regrets

Last week The Tan and Cardinal printed nearly two full pages of Valentine greetings, and the response on the part of Otterbein students was similar to that of two years agoenthusiastic. The enthusiasm, however, carried over into something else - pain and disgust.

It was brought to the Tan and Cardinal staffs attention at last Wednesday's meeting of the Publications Board that several people had voiced complaints to members of student development. Names had been forged and Valentine greetings couched

in questionable wording.

All in all, what had begun as an idea for providing a medium for the expression of affection and love in celebration of the day of love was transformed into a regrettable incident.

What had been conceived as something to generate student involvement and communication tumbled into the tasteless. The Tan and Cardinal staff now takes the opportunity to address every reader of the paper, and in particular those who were affronted, and offer our sincere regrets.

Congrats and

Comment on Last Week's E ditorial

To: The Editor

I'd like to comment on last week's editorial, "Thoughts on Senate." The bill changing summer school to a single eightweek term was indeed "pushed through," if by that the editor means that the Senate was persuaded to debate the merits of the bill and then passed it. The

motion to refer it back to the Servi ob well ce_ Department for a J

understands this language better than I do, but the force of mY motion to reconsider was that in factthe Senatehad adopted nothing. In any case, the chair ruled that the motion to reconsider was in order, and no senator challenged that ruling at the time.

I am puzzled by the editor's suggestion the Dean Bulthaup sees "summer vacation as a piece of -bubblegum." I'm not sure what that means (does the editor himself see summer vacation as a gold medal? a spinning rod? a faded rose?). In any event, the fact that the editor finds that simile "nauseating" seems to me a case of self-nauseating since he, not the Dean, created a simile.

I don't want to argue much with the editor's conviction that professors already have plenty of vacation. Neither sabbaticals (for which in any case not all professors are eligible) nor the winter interterm are vacations, since we have specific duties in both. I personally have never found the week between winter and spring terms sufficient time to accumulate much "intellectual capital." Perhaps it is enough to say that I don't think the editor has much conception of the life of a teacher-scholar.

A second point: the editor quotes Robert's to the effect that "To change what the assembly has adopted requires something more (in the way of a vote or previous notice to the members) than was necessary to adopt it in the first place." The editor probably

Editorial Accuracy Questioned

Dear Editor: I would like to respond to a statement in the February 9 editorial. The editorial says that the journalism proposal passed by the Senate was not the same as the one approved by the Curriculum Committee; it then states that the clause ONCE THE ENTIRE PROGRAM IS PHASED IN was added to the rationale of the bill after it passed Curriculum Committee.

In fact, the exact same sentence appears in the proposal that came to the committee and in the bill presented at Senate. Under Section IV, STAFFING, OTHER COSTS, the first sentence reads: "The 3 new courses will almost

surely call for some additional part-time staff, probably for one course per term once the entire program is phased in." The sentence is word-for-word the same in both documents.

The Senate bill differs from the proposal passed by Curriculum Committee only in the omission of some descriptive materials intended for the catalog but not actually part of the proposed major and new courses and in some editorial revisions for the sake of clarity. In no way were the substance and intent of the proposal altered after its approval by the committee.

The editorial implies that spokesmen for the proposal have

The Tan & Cardinal

Sincerely, William T. Hamilton equivocated as to when the new courses will be offered. The proposal altered after its approval by the committee.

The editorial implies that spokesmen for the proposal states only that it will be effective in September 1979; this statement guarantees that next year's freshman class can declare the major and can take the courses in the proper sequence - that as sophomores they can expect to take the 20-level courses; as juniors they can take the 30-level courses. It would be rather illogical to offer the advanced courses befo re a class has been recruited and trained in the basic Contineud on page 7

Crew Clears Buried Campus

In one day and night grounds crew here cleared the more than six inches of newly fallen snow that buried the campus and much of Ohio last Monday.

According to superintendent of maintenance Jud Snyder, the grounds crew, a team of three men headed by Ted Kerr, worked all day Monday and into the night, with Kerr working till five in the morning, when he was replaced by crew members Jim and Don Mitchell.

Service coordinator Dave Bell, who is responsible for student workers, said 10 students also worked Monday, some staying past quitting time, and others returning early Tuesday morning.

The snow, which fell all night Sunday and all Monday, cast much of Central Ohio into a snarled mess of slow moving traffic. From appearance at Otterbein, however, few problems arose and students and college employees trudged through the day, hardly disturbed by blowing snow and temperatures in the teens.

Snyder said Tuesday morning, "We had li ttle trouble clearing the campus. Everyone in the Service Department helped the grounds crew out. The students who work here know how much work goes into it, and other students sometimes know the value of the men working."

Since the frigid winter of 1977, the Service Department has acquired three small tractors equipped with brooms and blades and has stocked large quantities of salt, according to Snyder. He also said priority charts marking crucial parking lots and sidewalks were devised last fall. Snow emergency signs like those on streets will be posted in parking lots next year.

For a Person with Everything: Superman

By Dan Strine

Superman From the 30's to the 70's. Introduction by E. Nelson Bridwell. (Bonanza Books: New York, 1971). $12.95.

As Emily Le Tella of Saturday Night would ask, "What's all this fuss about Superman?" Millions of people are paying four dollars a ticket to stand in line for the movie while others tune in every afternoon for the Fu1ther Adventures of Superman. Now, for the person who has everything, comes the Superman "Bible".

Superman From the 30's to the 70's is a collection of select strips tracing the growth, change, and development of the "Man of Steel".

Making his debut in June of 1938 in Action Comics, the original Superman was without many of the powers we associate him with today. Instead of flying, Superman was limited to leaping one-eighth of a mile at a time. His invulnerability was limited to withstanding anything less than a bursting shell. In the forties, our hero added the power of X-ray vision to his arsenal of superhuman powers, saving many a wall from potential destruction through miscalculated guesses.

One pseudo-scientific explanation for his remarkable powers stems from the origin of Kal-E which was Superman's name on the planet Krypton. Krypton, before it met its doom, was a planet of extreme gravity. When the baby was rocketed to Earth, the difference in gravitation pull gave him "powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men."

Superman . . . proves to be an entertaining book despite some noticeable short-comings. Because of the reproduction of comic strip into book form, the print is fuzzy and small, making it hard to read. Reading this for any length of

time results in eye_ strain. Some continuity is lost moving from one strip to the next, especially since some "two-parters" are separated or missing altogether. Finally, my biggest complaint is that Braniac, Superman's robot foe, is not included in this anthology. He's my favorite. Although I admit Superman .. . is not very cerebral reading, I found the book very enjoyable. Watching the growth of everyone's favorite super-hero through the decades was fascinating. For you trivia experts, this book is an endless reference guide. For those that are not interested - "Never mind!"

gallery Opera Theatre Presents Purcell and Bernstein

Otterbein College Opera Theatre will present Henry Purcell's "Dido and Aeneas" and Leonard Bernstein's "Trouble in Tahiti" Thursday, February 22, through Saturday, February 24, at 8:15 p.m. and Sunday, February 25, at 3 p.m. as the premiere performances in the Battelle Fine Arts Center.

Dr. Morton Achter, chairman of the music department and artistic director for both productions said that despite delays in moving to the new building, he has been "pleasantly surprised" at the facilities.

"The performing space is fine from both the performer's and audiences' points of view," he stated, "These are two intimate operas that lend themselves well to a small stage."

Achter described "Dido and Aeneas" as a "delightful gem that holds the stage extremely well."

First presented in 1689, Purcell's opera puts to music the classic myth told in Virgil's Aenid of the queen of Carthage and her tragic love affair with a wandering soldier from ruined Troy.

Ke nt Bixler and Fontaine Follansbee star in Otterbein's Opera Theatre production of "Trouble in Tahiti" next Thursday in the newly renovated Battelle Fine Arts Center.

Cast as Dido and Aneas were faculty member Lynn Hurstad and senior Kent Stuckey. Cheryl Naumen of the music faculty portrays Belinda while Gina Zelazny, Mary Rose Molinaro and Fontaine Follansbee are cast as a sorceress and witches, respectively. Leisa Robb and Bruce Ludwick round out the principles.

Choreographer for "Dido and Aneas" is Dean Joanne VanSant with costuming done by Carlton Ritenour. Choral preparation is by Prof. Dennis Kratzer, and musical preparation is by Prof. Richard Chamberlain who will be harpsichordist for the production. Musical direction for both shows is under the baton of Dr. Lyle Barkhymer.

In contrast to the classicism of "Dido and Aeneas," Bernstein's "Trouble in Tahiti" is a contemporary work dealing with the problems of marriage and life

in suburba in what Achter called "a clever and biting little work."

Fontaine Follansbee and Kent Bixler will characterize Dinah and Sam with a trio of Marybeth Graham, Bruce Ludwick and Kent Stuckey backing them up.

Archer noted that much of what Bernstein wrote in "Trouble in Tahiti" foreshadows elements of his next musical, "West Side Story."

"It's possible to detect parts of "West Side Story," he said, "There is one number that is very similar to the duet of "Somewhere"."

Tickets for both productions are free to faculty and students with I.D.s and are available in the music office in Lambert Hall. Achter stressed that seating is both limited and reserved in Battelle's auditorium and that tickets for opening night are going quickly. Further information is available by calling the music office at ext. 358 or 508.

his wrist earlier this year.

Wohlheter probably has the toughest role of the five seniors, because his playing time is less than the previous three years. "But he has adjusted real well and works very hard," said teammate Miller.

Reynolds feels Wohlheter, "an excellent team leader, a good smart ball player and team catalyst."

John Phillips, from London, is "the unsung hero of the team," according to Reynolds. "Take away his performance the last two years and we'd be in trouble. He's a very aggressive player."

In last year's opening round of the OAC tournament, Phillips scored 19 points in the 7B - 72 double overtime victory over Ohio Wesleyan.

Southern division games for the most part of this year's OAC tourney will be played at Otterbein. To win the OAC

tournament at home would be a great graduation gift for the five seniors.

Reminiscing, Darrell Miller from Columbus Northland, said, "Last year's trip to Terre Haute was exciting, and we got a lot of support from the fans. The team that beat us (Albion) took third place in the nation." Don Brough, from Worthington said, "Last year's 72 - 71 victory over Wooster in the OAC Championship game has been my biggest thrill so far."

"I think I'll remember last year's Wittenberg game for the OAC Southern Division Championship;' said Mike Wohlheter.

Jeff Benson from Chillicothe has come off his wrist injury to stay near the top of the Cardinal stats this year. Benson made honorable mention All OAC last year in his first season as a full-time starter.

Otterbein head coach, Dick Reynolds said of him, "a good shooter and strong rebounder."

Required Attendance Discussed

The Campus Services and Regulations Committee on Wednesday discussed a proposed rule that would require Otterbein committee members to resign if they miss more than three meetings. Secretary S�ott Carroll explains, "We're trymg to eliminate students who don't �are about the committee and are Just there because it looks good on their resume."

The Committee also discussed that thP Iranian students will be making dishes at lunch every Sunday, according to new cafeteria manager Jim Soch.

Soch, who is replacing Tim Meyer, added that he has weeded out most of the inefficient cafeteria workers, and is satisfied with the remaining ones. The two areas he has worked hardest at tackling are food production and sanitation. He said he has eliminated a lot of "horseplay and slovenly" work.

The group looked at the constitution of Rho Kappa Delta, a new sorority that started in the spring. They decided to wait until the next meeting to decide on ratifying it.

Deadline

Continued from page 1 established by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Such guidelines state that institutions must make specific buildings and classes accessib�e. Any building under construct10n during or after the law went mto effect must be designed without structural barriers to the handicapped.

These guidelines include ramp access to buildings, elevators or chair lifts to higher levels, drinking fountain, telephone and restroom access. Other guidelines are to provide interpreters for deaf students and braille or taped texts for blind students. General changes include curb cuts, designated parking areas and doors which open easily and lightly.

Otterbein currently has a committee, chaired by Dr. Marilyn Day, which has complete� 8: transition plan and a fac1ht1es survey. Otterbein's d.ifficulties in maintaining a contractor have slowed down cost estimations and any further plans for adjustment.

Facilities which are already accessible are the Battelle Fine Arts Center, Barlow Hall, GrantOtterbein Health Center, the Library and the Rike Center. The Campus Center, Cowan Hall, dormitories, the Service Department and Towers Hall need to be made accessible. The Science Building is equipped with an elevator and needs only a ramp for initial entrance access.

The Publications Board recomme nded Wednesday that the editorial staff of the paper issue a statement expressing its regrets that some students were offended by the messages.

Also the Publications Board unanimously approved the installment of junior Al Bondurant Wednesday as business manager of the .Tan and Garc!inal for the remainder of the school year.

Letters to the Editor

Continued from page 2 courses.

I am especially disturbed by the editorial's misstatement of fact and its implications, because the paper seems to have made no effort to seek clarification on these points. I find it very odd that although the editor-in-chief of the T&C was present, either as a voting member or as an observer, at the meetings of the Division, the Curriculum Committee and the Senate at which the proposal was debated that he did not bother to raise questions about these points in the meetings. Had the authors of the proposal been asked for clarification, they certainly would have addressed the issues. Perhaps the staff should be reminded that a basic tenet for editorial writers is the need for opinion to be based on accurate information.

Long jumpers Doug Diehl, Tim Potts and John Wenztell combined to take fifth place, just seven inches out of the third spot. Roger Winemiller, Rick Miller and Barry Newlin were sixth in the high jump. The pole vault trio of Ty Harris, Jeff Groseclose and Scott Kunkleman snuck into the sixth position.

Chuck Amstutz, along with Winemiller and Alan Slack, combined to give Otterbein a surprising third in the triplejump. Amstutz not only established a personal best of 43', 5½", but, in the process also qualified for the conference championship in the triple jump.

The distance medley team of Brad Ranney, John Wentzell, Jim VanCleave and Hal Hopkins took fifth place honors. In the high hurdles, Dan Deleon, Steve Farkas and Slack were third.

The 6400 meter (approximately four-mile) relay was a real crowd pleaser. Jeff Kneice, Rick Miller and Bo Rose led Otterbein into second place with 1600 meters to go. On the anchor leg Bob Gold held off one of the premier runners in the country, Mike Becraft of Ohio Northern,,and, 1ed,.· Otterbein to a well-earned second place finish.

The 3200 meter relay squad of VanCleave, Neil Roseberry, Mike Gray and John McKenzie finished third.

Otterbein is definitely in the running for the indoor championship, to be held at Ohio Wesleyan, March 9 and 10. Miller sees the championship now as a four-team dogfight between Otterbein, Ohio Wesleyan, Mt. Union and B-W. "However," Miller emphasized, "we must put matters into perspective. Our goals, as they were before the season started, are to win the outdoor relays and ultimately the outdoor conference championship."

Set Otters Up

By John Hulkenberg

The Otterbein Cardinal basketball team traveled to Muskingum Wed nesday night and came away with their fourth consecutive victory in defeating the Muskies 83-64.

The Cardinal total of 83 points is the most scored against Muskingum this year. Muskingum has the top defensive club in the OAC, yielding just 57.2 points per game.

Cardinal head coach Dick Reynolds said before the game, "We should really find out just how much we have improved the last several games." The result was good news as no Reynolds ball club had ever won in Muskingum.

Junior guard Doug Petty led Cardinal scorers with 24 points. The senior combination of Don Brough, Jeff Benson and John Phillips added 20, 13 and 14 points respectively.

The first half saw Otterbein hit on 17 or 25 field goal attempts for 68 per cent as they led at the half 38-33. The Cardinals converted on 14 of 24 shots in the second half for 58.3 per cent and finished the game with a 63.2 percentage.

Senior forward John Phillips said, "We're really starting to jell now and our seniors are showing great leadership. We are all looking forward to the tournament."

Big Weekend For Women

Otterbein College Women's Basketball team will be looking for their third win of the season at home this weekend, tonight hosting Case Western Reserve at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday against Baldwin-Wallace at 1 p.m. in the Rike Center.

Baldwin-Wallac_P has been "totally dominated or dominated totally their opponents so far this season," according to Cardinal's coach Terri Hazucha.

In preparing to better their 2-7 season record, the Otterbein women have been concentrating on shooting. The team shooting average from the field has been declining since their sixth game. Now at .319, Hazucha says they are "trying different combinations to raise their shooting percentage."

"Our defense is getting better and better each game, we're getting more from out bench and attitudes continue to be good."

Senior co-captain Bambi Wallace maintains her team scoring lead with 93 points scored and 10.3 points per game.

Gun Unleashed;

Cards Destroy

Denison, 113-72

By Bill Fairchild

The Otterbein Cardinals unleashed their run and gun offensive attack for the second game in a row as they destroyed the Denison Big Red 113-72 Thirteen players lit up the scoreboard for Otterbein as they raced to their highest point total of the season.

Otterbein dominated the game from the outset as they took an early 6 point lead and built it to 58-48 at the half. Both teams played out of control in the first half, but the dominance of the Cardinals on the boards gave them the advantage.

In the second half the Otterbein defense tightened and Denison began to play sloppily as the game's outcome became very evident. Otterbein stretched its lead to as many as 45 points late in the game as Dick Reynolds cleared his bench.

Steady senior forward Jeff Benson lead the Otterbein attack as he scored 18 points and pulled down a game high 13 rebounds. Benson's effort was supported by Doug Petty's 16 points and Tom Dill and Jeff Kessler each hitting for 13 markers.

With the victory Otterbein moves from the .500 mark for the first time since early December as they upped their record to 11-10 overall.

The Tan & Cardinal

The final Otterbein win came in the last event of the meet. The mile relay team of Fox, Benedict,

Rader and Smith won the race as Mt. Union was disqualified for bumping a runner as they battled

for position. The relays are well suited for a

team like Otterbein, according to

Miller. He said the depth the squad shows was a big factor in the fine performance. Otterbein was able to score a point in all 12 P-rents. Baldwin-Wallace was the only other school which could make that claim.
