SecondCharter Review Session Planned

By Lois· McCullen

A consultation between Assistant Dean for Student Development Bob Gatti and Pi Beta Sigma to evaluate the fraternity will occur this week as a result of the fratern'ity's charter re view before Campus Services and Regulations Committee Wednesday, May 23.

The charter will again be reviewed, along with that of Zeta Phi, at a meeting next week, for an "alleged violation" of campus rules, according to com mittee president senior Tina Fetherolf.

Both fraternities allegedly refused admittance to staff personnel upon investigation by the staff of house parties. Pi Beta Sigma was placed on pr obation last week by Judicial Council for abusing campus alcohol regulations and Zeta Phi is currently on probation for an abuse of alcohol rules last fa)l.

The failure to admit staff persons is an additional charge to both fraternities which requires that they appear before the committee and the Executive Board of Trustees for charter review. This requirement was established by a letter from Student Personnel to fraternities in 1978 requesting that certain guidelines be followed in order for Greek organizations to remain active on campus.

At Wednesday's meeting, Vice President for Student Development Joanne VanSant presented a set of "minimum fraternity standards" and a "fraternity review form" in "an effort to be of assistance to the organization, to show if they are sincerely wanting to be active at Otterbein." VanSant said that the fraternity would need to take "something positive" to the Board of Trustees in order that their charter not be revoked by that body.

The background of the incident was discussed and Pi Beta Sigma President Mark Osbahr admitted that the fraternity did refuse admittance to staff persons because "there was a lack of communication between old

charter is not revoked."

Candy Griesinger, senior, supported by other committee members, said a decision concerning Pi Beta Sigma ought to be made before the standards could be discussed.

VanSant said the committee needed to "recommend some sort of action to the Trustees, rather than see a charter revoked." She said the acceptance of the standards would "satisfy the Board and benefit the fraternity."

Gatti explained that "no measurements or guidelines for fraternities are currently available, so the standards were developed to outline areas of (college) expectations." A major issue discussed at this

Hearin g Reveals Disagreements

By Brad Manier

At a highly charged meeting of the Curriculum Committee last Monday, devoted almost entirely to debate over the recent proposal that would require departments to give only the grade CR (credit) for successfully completed internships, professors Charles Dodrill, theatre and John Laubach, political science, denounced the proposal with varying degrees of vehemency.

Laubach delivered a prepared statement proposing "modification" of the bill, while Dodrill said the bill was leading internships in the "wrong direction" and asked, "Couldn't we respect the fact that we all come from different places?" meaning

internships should be governed by individual departments.

Dodrill also told the Committee he "hoped our (his and Laubach's) intentions in questioning the proposal before Senate last May 2 were "not misunderstood," referring to associate professor of English William T. Hamilton's statement during the May 7 Curriculum Committee meeting that during Senate it had been implied that the Committee had "sneaked the bill through."

The arguments of Dodrill and Laubach, although questioned and often opposed by members of the Committee, including associate professors Lyle Barkhymer, music, Hamilton and Richard Yantis, math , led to two amendments.

Made after almost an hour and a half of debate, the first amendment provides departments the option of grading an internship by traditional grade or "credit only," as was originally recommended in the March 28 memo from assistant professor Gail Miller to the Curriculum Committee. The memo was the original source of the bill.

The written statement prepared for the Committee added however that, "Some of our internships are difficult to evaluate and work supervisors are sometimes vague about standards of - performance. Some of our students may prefer to enroll for credit, anticipating a more casual involvement in the internship."

When questioned by Yantis about the average grade assigned students in his internships, Laubach said "most are Bs."

That internships have contributed to grade inflation has been one of the key issues of the bilL Hamilton said last May 7, "Internships shouldn't be a way of raising a grade average."

Dodrill told the committee Monday i he had never given any grade but an \ A. Only the best and most "disciplined" students gain an internship, he said.

"We have a very codified system," said Dodrill. "Students are screened at the end of both their freshman and sophomore years. We want disciplined people. That's why one didn't go this this year - he didn't fulfill the standards." and new officers."

Reconsidering Internships

The openhearing for Senate Bill 78/79-33, which would haveerased lettergrading ofinternshipsand required departments to assignthe symbolCR (credit) for successfully completing internships, revealed widelydiffering interpretationsof what aninternship is or shouldbe.

It alsocaused a severeweakening of what we, in hindsight, now see as a strong and effective billforbolstering the academic standards here.

Theatre professor Charles Dodrill, in his interpretation, sees the internship as the peak onemayfinally reach after scaling thejagged face ofthe first two yearsof Otterbein theatre. Only the best makethe summit, and only aftersomehow proving-through classwork, productionwork, attitudeand, we imagine,"talent," -theydeserveto make it.

Once there, they getanA, and they deserve thatA, because they have survivedthe departmental tests, accordingto Dodrill.

To getthe internshipis difficultandthe evaluation is thorough,he says, so the grading isnotatrandom.

Theopposingview isthatof associate professor WilliamT. Hamilton, chairman of Integrative Studies, who questions the method of grading internships,because of its radical difference fromthe classroom setting. His question is how an internship can be graded on a scale devised for academic courses, during which the professor has complete and thoroughknowledge ofastudent'sperformance. The value ofthe internship is not atquestion,but the method ofdetermining the value ofthe student's performance is.

Somewhere between, standsprofessorJohn Laubach who supported the idea of havingboth traditional grading andthe creditsymbol. Traditionalgrading wouldbe reserved forthoseinternships in which the professor would be inclose touch with the student and the internship sponsor. Andcredit would be used for those students "who anticipate amore casual involvement inthe internship" or forthosewho find the internship supervisionvague orbelowexpectations.

Wesupportthegradingbycredit only method.

One of the basicconcernswhich initiated the bill was that,professors cannotprovide an "honest" grade when theyhavenot been on hand.A valid,but certainlynotthemost important issue.

Anotherwas that the propensity to "give" A's inflated grades. This is more to thepoint. Wewouldmake a wildbet thatthe ratioof A's to other grades is much greater.A study shouldbe done.

Butthemostimportantpoint is that the studentenrolling inthe internshipshouldnot be looking forthe grade as "reward." The reward is intrinsictothe internship. Aninternship is, as seniorJim Wagner put it, professional experience. Andprofessional experience needs no grade.The reward is the experience.

That an internship shouldbe something to work toward and strive for we agree. But grading ithas nothing todo with getting it.

And thatcredit wouldcausesomeoneto"slough"offbecause the incentiveis not there (theA) we do notbelieve. The good student, who "probably deserves the A anyway," wouldnotslough off anyway.

Andalast point isthatgradingby creditwoulddiscourage students who seethe program as aneasy way foraneasy grade. Only thosewho took the internship forwhatitwasoriginally designed for wouldenroll.

Effects of the Demon

Alcohol abuse has hit an all time high on campus. Every weekend and most weekdays you can hear people say, "Let's go out and abuse on some alcohol tonight." Because of this deplorable state of affairs, I will give several sad examples of Otterbein alcoholics in the hope that others might change their ways.

Donna, 19, started taking long sips of Nyquil when she was eight, learned to stay home sick with a "cold" from school in order to get sips of brandy. Got so drunk one night at Zachariah's that she fell of the second balcony and landed in the midst of a McGuffey Lane concert. Fortunately she landed on the fat guitarist and bounced back uninjured.

Matt, 20, has a four section expandable stomach and a still disguised as a stereo in his room. Suffered irreversible brain damage from over-drinking on a Busch brewery tour; his grades have improved tremendously ever since.

Doug, 20, had his first experience with alcohol when he went into the travel Agency to book a cruise to Mongolia but ended up in NeverNever Land. Can be instantly recognized by the funnel he wears on his belt and the incredibly ugly girls he picks up when drunk. Hopefully, he'll be sober at his wedding.

Lori, 18, claims never to have been drunk, but cannot remember high school graduation, senior prom night, New Year's Eve, or her birth. Fun to be around when drunk, more fun when she's completely passed out.

Chris, 21, truly a champion, has broken 12 Breathalyzers in ten states. A real joker-gives Mad Dog 20-20 to little kids and tells them its grape pop. Loves to see them breatlie fire.

Associate professor Mike Herschler said, "Wouldn't it be better to have the name of the internship (sponsor) on record rather than a grade?"

Dodrill said a grade point average does count and that a higher average could provide more money for a graduate school assistantship.

Alcohol Task Force Chairman Resigns

By Robert Engelbach

Junior Tim O'Flynn resigned from the alcohol task force and Greek tribunal committees at the Interfraternity Council meeting last Sunday. O'Flynn told the group his job was impossible because he was doing the work and getting no support from the other students.

The alcohol task force is a committee examining the possibility of legalizing alcohol on campus; the tribunal is a proposed body of Greek students who would police the fraternities instead of having their cases go before Judicial Council.

O'Flynn said that anyone who cared to continue was welcome to his notes. He added that whoever took over must have the support from the other students; otherwise he would get nowhere.

IFC also considered giving intramural director Ma k Hartman a place on the Council so he could report to the fraternities what was going on in the intramural schedule; this would get increased participation from the

fraternities. The position would be a nonvoting one, with the director there strictly to communicate between intramurals and IFC.

Continued from page 3 and their elected representatives aware of how they feel about the social restrictions that they are required to either enforce or live under.

As undergraduates we are constantly told that the college's financial support would go down the drain should alcohol and/or visitation ever be permitted on campus. If money is indeed the problem, it may also serve as the answer.

I, for one, am one alumni who will make my interests known concerning the type of educational environment that I feel is important and plan to support. On the other hand, if everyone is happy here in Paradise, and no one really cares to unsettle the status quo, so be it. I'll spend my money elsewhere, rest in peace. and wish the Quiet Peaceful Village "good luck."

Pi Sig Faces Review

Continued from page 1 point was the lack of communication between the Student Personnel Office and Greek organizations as well as within the organizations themselves. The suggested guidelines, similar to the letter of 1978, are intended to be ongoing.

Gatti said "even if it were not on paper, I would have taken action because I am liable." He said Student Personnel had to have the freedom to act in the manner they did because the fraternity is the college's legal responsibility.

Carroll said "the information should be passed down, but isn't." He said apparently it wasn't clear to the organizations in 1978 that what they agreed to was ongoing.

VanSant said "there was no attempt to have just the Presidents themselves take responsibility, but the entire organization should be responsible for itself." She said it is

Osbahr said the guidelines should be updated by making new officers aware of them each year. "If the administration wants to enforce them, it is their responsibility to make sure everyone knows," he said.

The officers of the fraternity agreed that the new guidelines are "good, constructive and helpful and could be considered at IFC or PanHel, but that the recent history of the organization be considered in order that the charter not be revoked," according to Bob Gold, sophomore.

Karsko suggested that the guidelines be used to help eliminate the lack of communication. "There seems to be a need for self-assessment for Greeks and the Student Personnel Office for more healthy communication," she said.

Connie Watts, junior, said that in accepting the guidelines for Pi Beta Sigma, the entire Greek system would be held accountable. She said "it should be a joint effort if these standards are accepted."

Fifty to Sixty Frosh Expected Football: Defense Strong, Offense Sought

By Craig Jones

Since the 1978 football season ended, Otterbein head coach Rich Seils and his staff have been trying to fill the vacancies left by the departures of nine players. Several Ohio regions have been scoured for players to bolster a team whose record was 2-6-1 last year, and placed it 5th in the OAC.

"We looked for the best athletes available," said Seils, who is heading into his fifth year as head coach of the Cardinals. Thus far, 35 prospects have been signed for the 1979-80 season. Fifteen to 20 more are still being ccruited. and if all goes well the team ould be getting a total of 50 to 60 11gh school gridders before summer camp begins m late August.

Seils said the recruiting process includes a classification of each player into one of four categories, quarterbacks; running backs, defensive backs and wide receivers; offensive and defensive linemen; and linebackers and defensive ends.

"Good balance is a major problem, therefore we try to recruit two years down the road," Seils said. All football coaches face the same problem. Many times there won't be a player available for a certain position. Then players must be shuffled to fit the lineup.

Fifteen of the 35 already signed are offensive and defensive linemen. Twelve are running backs and seven QBs. Four linebackers or defensive ends and three defensive backs are scheduled to arrive. And one placekicker and a punter will be shooting for jobs.

Going into camp the Cardinals once again appear to have a strong defensive unit. In the secondary the team has three of four returning lettermen. Juniors Bob Spahr, Jeff Jones and sophomore Dave Vulgamore will bolster the deep back positions, while the spot vacated by senior Jim Lower will be up for grabs.

Next year the linebacking corp will consist of junior Gregg Cobb, sophomore Randy Weisenstein and freshman Jeff Humphrey and Jim Marriott. The latter two will be battling for one starting position. The defensive line is thin as seniors Dick Bonner, Tim Hart and Bob Jacoby depart. Only juniors Ric Lainhart, defensive end, and Matt Bakkes, middle guard, return. Seils did not mention likely candidates for the open spots.

Offensively, Otterbein will be looking for a better scoring punch. At the wide receiver position next year the Cardinals will have sophomore Wayne Woodruff and freshman Jerry Saunders returning. Freshmen Dan Rader and Tim Potts, who will be moved from defensive backs, will also be given a tr'ial. The tight end position has freshmen Steve Hakes and Steve Farkas vying for the job.

Junior Brian Warning, a three-year starter, returns to the offensive line at one of the tackle positions, while sophomore Doug McCombs and freshman Tom Dolder look to the guard positions. Junior Harley McCullough will be given first look at center.

The big question, however, still remains. Who will start at

quarterback? Freshman Joe Krumpak is the only one of three who played this past season who wasn't injured. Junior John Toeller missed part of last season with a knee injury and underwent surgery on his arm during the off-season. Freshman Scott Gasser proved his potential but also faces overcoming a knee injury.

At running back the Cardinals look strong. Sophomores Kevin Brown, Randy Bressler and freshman Ed Schmidt put speed and strength at tailback. Junior Wayne C_ummerlander is the only returning fullback as senior Mike Echols departs.

"Our objective is to come up· with the big play," said Seils. "We must get our quarterback ready to play. The challenge is to integrate the running backs and quarterback, and I'm excited about the offensive possibilities."

Too Many Teams from OAC Costs 'Bein Bid?

Otterbein's 1979 baseball team won more games than any other in the College's history, 28 to be exact. In spite of a fine 44 game season, the Cardinals were denied a shot in post season play.

Miller said, "Realistically, if they all do their best we have a shot at placing in all five events we are in."

Sophomore· Kevin Brown will have two opportunities to show the other sprinters from around the country what he can do.

Brown will compete in the 100 and 200 meter dashes. "If he can run as well as he did in the conference meet, Kevin will have an excellent chance of finishing high in both events," said Miller. Brown won the 100 and 200 in the conference championships two weeks ago; each in record OAC time.

The time trials for the 100 and 200 were run last night. The semifinals and finals in the 100 are scheduled for Page 8

"Right now, it's a little early to tell, we'll just have to wait but we have allstater Jimmy Hoyle and possibly two more all state performers coming," quoted Fishbaugh.

"He's a prime example of an outstanding young man who never really got the opportunity to pitch that much; he was very patient, maintained a positive attitude and when he got his change, did a fantastic job," said Fishbaugh.
