Parking Problems Spur Recommendation
By Scott Brockett
Widespread concern over the lack of adequate parking facilities for students has resulted in a recommendation by the Administrative Council that the present parking system be critically studied by Student Personnel.
The proposal was offered by student council member Gary Baker, who initially recommended that the new parking lot (built where Lambert hall once stood) be opened to students from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The lot's capacity is about 50 spaces and is presently open to students only after 5 p.m.
Baker also pressed for the inclusion in "Daily Data" of an explanation of the parking regulations for that lot, in accordance with Section I of the "Motor Vehicle Rules and Regulations." The code appears in the Campus Life Handbook.
Many students have complained about the lack of adequate parking facilities.
Senior Pete Tierney, station manager of WOBN, said that he

conditions. A third student said substantial increase over past sometimes when driving to the he had problems finding spaces years. This contributes to the station due to the lack of spaces in the Campus Center lot. perceived shortage in parking near Cowan Hall. Part of the problem this year spaces.
Possibility of Additional Funds Look Bleak
Otterbein has considered several possible ways to help raise additional funds for the maintenance and construction of parking lots. At present, though, at least two options seem to be only remote possibilities.
One option would be to charge parking fees for people living off-campus who come to Otterbein to enjoy athletic events or theatre productions.
But Dean Van Sant cited the costs of erecting gates and hiring people to oversee and enforce at these events as precluding the possibility of charging people who come to sporting events on campus She
Another student complained he had problems finding spots in King Hall's lot and felt he was unjustly cited for failure to park within the painted lines because of the crowded
added that many of these people are "supporters" of Otterbein and should not have to pay for parking.
Woodrow Macke echoed Van Sant's sentiments. He added that the College looked into the possibility of securing automatic gates, but found their high costs would make such a purchase impractical.
Another possibility for defraying expenses would be for Otterbein to charge students in the Adult Degree Program (ADP) a vehicle registration fee in addition to their tuition expenses.
Although parking expenses is the large number of vehicles on campus. Marion Becker, an office worker in the Student Office, estimated that about 600 regular students have registered vehicles, a
Otterbein Copes With Energy Costs
By Tim McMasters
The nation-wide energy shortage will be clamping its tight grip on Otterbein this winter. Because of attempts to maintain a program of high level energy efficiency, Otterbein students may not have many of the comforts they enjoyed last winter. Among the innovative procedures slated to begin this year are a decrease in lighting at various places around the campus and a cut-back in hot water. Temperature settings of 68 degrees for housing and 65 degrees for all other buildings will remain the same as last year.
Woodrow Macke, vice president for business affairs, feels Otterbein should employ a full time energy expert to insure a minimum of energy and money expenditure. Last year's gas and electric bills totaled over $210,000, a 2.5% increase over six years ago,
solidifying the necessity of an energy expert. This increase translates into approximately $120 per student in fee increases this year, and should continue to increase next year.
Compared with other colleges, however, Otterbein's expenses are 25% lower per student than any other neighboring colleges in similar climate. For example, Ohio Wesleyan has a highly sophisticated mini-computer system designed only to aid in energy conservation, but still spends more money per student for energy.
Macke cites simple procedures such as keeping doors and windows closed, using less hot water and keeping light usage to a minimum as major factors in energy and money conservation.
Macke is relying heavily on students to do their part in helping with the energy
problem. "Americans are terribly wasteful," he notes, "and they must constantly be reminded to conserve energy."
are presently figured into the tuition of ADP students, they are kept relatively low.
Donald Bultaup, vice president for academic affairs, said that ADP students cannot be compared to regular students because they are not on campus as much. As a result, their fees should be lower.
Macke explained that the program should be kept as desirable as possible because it brings in additional income, which ultimately serves to lower the costs for all students. The ADP program has grown considerably over the past few years.
Even before the council's recommendations, Joanne Van Sant, vice president for student development, admitted, "We (Student Personnel) have to study the problem, then decide what to do." She added that additional parking spaces for students near the Battelle Fine -Arts Center may soon be provided.
Another prevalent concern among students is the cost of

''Feedback''
ByGaryBaker:StudentTrustee
As an opening note I would like to congratulate the football team on an excellent game against Wooster and an excellent season thus far.
The remainder of my column will discuss what is happening in the governance.
. The first subject pertains to a bill brought to the Senate's first meeting by the Curriculum Committee (Senate Bill 7980/1). It states: "Departments may assign CR to students who successfully complete internship courses. The decision of credit or grade is to be made by the instructor in consultation with the student and the internship sponsor no later than the end of the 'Drop Period.' "
This bill came to the senate because at times the faculty experienced difficulty in grading internship experiences. I encourage you to look into internships because they provide excellent experiences.
If you do so, however, be sure to discuss department politics and grade designation with your instructor.
Another concern discussed this past week has been the lack of student parking privileges in the new Lambert Hall parking lot. As you may know, only faculty, staff and visitors may park in the Lambert Hall lot from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The only action taken was some discussion in the Administrative Council meeting. The result was a request for Student Personnel to evaluate parking on campus.
The council also discussed the reason the Rike Center is not
open on Sundays this term. Several students approached me with this problem, so I talked to Mr. Fishbaugh and Dean Van Sant before taking this matter to the council.
The council moved to request for a Rike Center staff member to be present at the next Administration Council meeting for discussion of the subject. What good this will do is indeterminable at the present. The problem most likely will preclude the Sunday opening is a lack of operating funds, as identification checkers and janitors have to be paid.
I think it is really bad that an institution of this caliber can not keep its most useful facility open for students on Sunday.
The Rike is busy during the week with organized practice sessions and it is sometimes difficult to use the facility. Weekends are the perfect time to go to the Rike, especially when the weather starts to get chilly. Give us a break!
I am sure some of you are curious (and maybe some of you are not) about the IFC Tribunal. It is merely an expansion of the powers of IFC and the involvement of fraternities. It has not been finalized in any fashion, but is certainly moving down what may be a long row to hoe. But when it comes around you will be informed of it's nature and purpose. I would like to remind all IFC representatives and fraternity presidents to be sure and attend the next IFC meeting. It is very important!
In conclusion I would like to say that the feedback I have been getting is very good and I would encourage you to approach me with suggestions,
problems, or possibly just to chat. Also, do not be afraid to use this paper as a tool. Send letters to the editor when you wish to voice your opinion.
Finally, it has been suggested to me that the homecoming week should be a calm, collected week when students patiently await the arrival of that team across town. As a matter of fact I think that is a bunch of bull.
So I am asking everyone to show school spirit by not shaving this upcoming week. Because I am not chauvanistic, I must invite the women to participate also.
I am supporting the football team and the school. I have already put my razor away until Oct. 21. So let it grow and let's give Capital a welcome they deserve.
Programs Assist R.A.s, Students
By Steve Spangler
Editor's Note: This article is the last of a three-part series on the role of the Resident Assistant at Otterbein.
Staff development improves the Resident Assistant's (R.A.) skills and knowledge for handling life inside and outside the dormitory.
Two spring workshops, fall orientation and weekly R.A. meetings are Student Personnel's means of developing the R.A. s effectiveness in working with residents.
A time management workshop was initiated by Student Personnel last spring
because many students and R.A.s seemed to be "hurried all the time due to using time inefficiently," said Dave Peters, associate dean of students.
Peters also indicated that communications skills were emphasized because about "80% of all resident problems derive from communications problems."
The fall R.A. orientation at Camp Akita is designed to help create a "team spirit among R.A.s."
Peters added that the orientation instructs R.As on many different responsibilities, including programming,
counseling, rules and regulations and knowledge of the governance system.
In-service staff training includes meetings once a week for the R.A.s to share their experiences and learn how to handle different situations.
These sessions may include information on anything from how to prevent damage in resident halls to how to help motivate apathetic students.
Peters believes staff development emphasizes what being an R.A. is all about. "It is a growing and learning experience as a student, citizen and R.A."

In Review Demento Really a Trip
By DesireeShannon
How does one gain entrance to the golden land of Dementia?
Well, one possible answer you might come up with would be to fill out an application to Otterbein. But that's not what I had in mind. The best way to enter this strange land is to tune your radio to Q-FM-96on Sunday nights at 9; that's when "The Doctor Demento Show" can take you on crazed weekly journeys into the land of Dementia.
The show, which has been on the air for almost six years now, originates from California and is syndicated locally. Its disc jocky, who only refers to himself as Doctor Demento, is a strange cat with long hair, a beard, a top hat and a T-shirt that says "Stay Demented."
He now only makes weird noises into the microphone and does of fbeat voice characterizations, he also gives his audience a complete background of every deranged disc he spins. He has to because some of them are up to 70 years oId His record collection consists
are very difficult to find anymore.
This is not to say that there are not any off-the-wall oldies. The good Doctor has possession of several ancient records that Gramps would snicker about with his drinking buddies years before the advent of radiosongs that would even be considered obscene now. But, dang it, he cannot play them on the air because ofFCC restrictions. Nevertheless, there are still some pale, blue waxrecords that were banned but have now gained acceptance.
Such oldies as "Cocaine Blues," "A Hotdog for my Role" (draw your own conclusions from that one, folks) and "Oh, How I Love that Reefer" by Cab Calloway scandalized the anticeptic '30s when they made their demented debut. Many of the older record are just plain classics, such as Abbot and Costello's memorable "Who's onFirst" routine recorded in the '40s.
In addition to the oldies, "The Doctor Demento" show also features current Ioony tunes that will not be heard on sane

But he admitted that it is impossible to determine precisely from what source such costs are covered. He explained that some funds come from Otterbein's total budget in addition to the funds gained from registration fees.
"About one-half of the students don't have automobiles, so it isn't fair to cover the entire cost with tuition money," he said. "It comes down to what is fair and reasonable under the circumstances."

Van Sant said that the system of registration serves two purposes besides raising funds: it allows the administration to determine the number of vehicles on campus and it helps when attempting to identify vehicles involved in accidents.
Woodrow Macke, vice president for business affairs, def ended the rise in the registration fee for "A" and "B" decals from $21 to $27 this fall. He cited maintenance, including repaving, and wages for security personnel as costs that the registration fees go toward.
He explained that the College will collect about $15,000 this year in parking fees but that the cost of maintaining existing lots could run up to $20,000.

Host OAC Schools Harriers Finish Second Suffer First Loss

Otterbein's cross country team suffered its first setback at Baldwin-Wallace Saturday. The Yellow Jackets, conference favorites, defeated two of their toughest challengers in the Cardinals and Ohio Wesleyan.
The final score was B-W 23, Otterbein 45 and OWU 63.
The meet was run during a cool, overcast day, marked by drizzles and high winds. Despite the less-than-perfect conditions, B-W performed well on its home course.
The Cardinals also turned in a good performance, though, as each of the top ten runners achieved his personal best time. This was cause for optimism
Volley ballers
By Christine Cover
The last two weeks have been long ones for the Otterbein women's volleyball team as they faced the strongest competition they have ever had. The lady Cardinals won only one out of eight matches. Coach Terry Hazucha said her players are "not seasoned yet," but added that the stiff competition makes them try even harder.
The Otter women traveled to Kenyon on Oct. 9 where they lost 4-15, 6-15. Ohio Dominican took the next tough match with 10-15, 9-15.
The team traveled to Muskingum on Oct. 2 to a Muskie defeat of 7-15, 2-15. They also lost to a powerful Ohio Dominican team 8-15, 315. The Cardinals jumped back, however, to outwit Ohio Wesleyan at home last Friday after an initial loss, 15-8, 15-9. They succumbed to Ashland in the next match, 3-15, 7-15.
Otterbein worked well as a unit last Saturday, although Cedarville overcame them 8-15, 11-15. Bluffton had a real fight on their hands after their win of 7-15 when the Otter women caught them 15-8. O.C. lost their advantage in the last game, losing 13-15. The lady Cardinals played team concept volleyball in the Blufton matches, covering one another despite some problems maintaining their court positions. Hazucha said her players did some fine serving that day too.
The coach said her team is a third of the way through their tough season, and she believes that their challenging schedule will pay off at the satellite
and the Cardinals still think BW can be beaten.
"They (B-W) are tough, no question about it," said junior Bob Gold, who finished tenth overall with a time of 25:55, "but their home course was suited to their style .of running."
Sophomore Steve Hallam echoed his teammates feelings: "Baldwin-Wallace is going to be hard to beat," he said. "But on a course we are more familiar
with, like at Delaware (site of the All-Ohio meet and Conference Championships), we feel we can match them."
