Rector To Speak At Local Church of .Master
By Scott Brockett Monsignor Frank Mouch,
rector of the Pontificial College Josephinum, will speak at the Church of the Master's Sunday morning service, to begin at 9:30. Immediately after the service the rector will address Protestant-Catholic relations in a question-and-answer session. The session will commence at 10:45 in the fellowship hall.
The Pontificial College is the only one of its type in the U.S. and is run directly from Rome. The rector's main role is ministering to the students arid faculty at the College.
Monsignor Mouch has
received several distinguished honors, including an appointment as president of the Midwest Association of Theological Schools.
The rector also travelled with Pope John Paul II during the Pontiffs recent visit to the U.S. as part of a group representing American priests.
Joel Baer, head pastor of the Church of the Master, said that Monsignor Mouch's visit will offer a great "learning experience" as part of the Church's "outreach" program.
"The Church is trying to reach students and community members," Baer said.
Administration Building Getting ''New Look''
B�· Liiula Ta�·lor
The Administration Building is getting a new look and a dry basement, according to Woodrow Macke, vice president of business affairs.
The building 's new look began with the removal of the large, old trees surrounding the building.
"The trees were overgrown and looked cluttered. Most people didn't realize what an attractive building we have," Macke said.
"The Administration Building has had a leakage problem for many years. It is not unusual to have water on the basement floor during periods of heavy rain," Macke said.
The problem will be solved by digging a drainage ditch around the building, replacing much of the tile and waterproofing the wall of the structure.
In addition, a driveway will be put in on the west side of the building. This will provide easy access for deliveries and provide an entrance ramp for handicapped students and faculty.
"We had hoped to have these improvements finished by early November, but the ·weather has held up work considerably," Macke said.
The work should be completed by Thanksgiving with.landscaping to follow in the spring. The total
cost of the project will be over $20,000.
Macke said that changes and improvements on Otterbein's campus have been planned for some time, but original plans have been revised considerably because of money considerations.
The Facilities Committee agreed that the original plans were impractical and costly, with the total tab running well over $3 million. The revised plans call for extensive repairs and remodeling as opposed to pronounced changes on the college campus - with the exception being the Administration Building.
Monsignor Frank Mouch will discuss Catholic-Protestant relations Sunday during a question-and-answer session at the Church of the Master.
Trial Openings Slated For Rike Center
By Scott Brockett
Athletic Director Elmer Yoest and Richard Fishbaugh, assistant professor of men's health and physical education, addressed the Administrative Council Monday and proposed trial openings of the Rike Center on Sundays. The two men were invited to a meeting as the result of a recommendation proposed during the previous session by committee member Gary Baker.
Baker alerted the committee to increasing student concern over the facility being closed on Sundays,
The trials would occur sometime during the last four Sundays of this term from noon
to 5 p.m., the same hours the facility is now open on Saturdays. Student usage will be checked to determine the practicality· of opening for these additional hours.
The center might then be opened on Sundays during certain portions of the fall and spring terms. The last five weeks of fall term and the first five weeks of spring term were mentioned as possible periods of peak usage. Fishbaugh said he would like to see the building open seven days per week during stretches of cold weather.
During the winter term the Rike Center is always open on
• Saturdays from noon to 5 p.m. and on Sundays from 2-10 p.m. Generating the needed revenue is the main obstacle.
The Department of Health and Physical Education has pressed for the allocation of additional funds for this purpose the past several years.
The major costs would be the hiring of a janitor for Sundays, and hiring of a student I.D. checker, and expenses such as heating, lighting, and water.
Yoest said that the college is already in the process of hiring a full-time janitor and suggested that one of his responsibilities could be working on Sundays.

Faculty Concern - A Puzzling Paradox
One evening last week a faculty reception was at a campus fraternity house. Invitations were sent to 125 members of Otterbein's faculty and staff. The fraternity house was spruced up and, at the expense of fraternity members, food and refreshments were provided. Approximately fifteen faculty and/or staff members attended this reception during the two hours scheduled for the event.
One afternoon last week some fraternity members met with the Faculty Forum to discuss what the fraternity members considered to be a few misconceptions the forum held about fraternities and the Greek system on our campus. The forum
was established years ago to provide a vehicle for faculty members to discuss issues that affect the faculty and the campus. The forum has previously
discussed fraternity hazing; and last spring it even considered the possibility of having all Greek organizations obtain national affiliation.
We wonder why these two events seem to have very different implications. The faculty seems to show a great concern for the Greek system, and the

Letters to the Editor Articles Misleading - Parking System Places Students Last In Line
Dear Editor,
Two weeks ago a pair of articles appeared in the paper which dealt with the parking situation here on campus. The facts in the articles were true but deceiving. One article dealt with the parking problems students were incurring this year and the other dealth with the possibilities of raising additional funds from the use of those lots used during campus events.
Mr. Macke defended the charges for registration of vehicles by citing maintenance of lots and security personnel as costs those fees go toward. ;fhis may be true; but how much of the student fees go for maintenance and security of faculty lots and reserved lots not made available to students half of the time?
Mr. Macke and Dean Van Sant commented on the possibilit y of
charging fees for people who come to an athletic event or theatre production. They stated that the costs of erecting gates would make such an idea impractical.
I agree with that thought but this is not the only alternative.
Otterbein could pay people to collect a dollar or two from each car and to direct the parking of those vehicles in an orderly manner.
How many gates have to be erected at the polo grounds near Ohio Stadium each week and they seem to have no problem getting my money when I attend a football game.
At the same time the money is collected a certain number of parking spots could be reserved for students who reside in the nearby dorms. After living in Davis Hall for two years I lost count of the number of times I could not find a
overspending of the Democratic Congress.
Many Republicans now are asking for a tax cut; however, the Democrats oppose a reduction in your taxes. Senator Kennedy, mentioned as an alternative Democrat by the editor, has a $50 billion national health insurance plan, which would bloat the already overwhelming $800 billion deficit.
As you go to the polls next year, take a look at the Republicans, rather than a guy who accidentally forgot to mention his mistress lying at the bottom of a lake.

A Lot Could Happen At The Bein
By Rob Engelbach
It was a fall day in 1999 when I returned to my almamater. A lot of things had happened since I left the 'Bein. A certain fraternity and an equally certain sorority had merged and the group had lost its charter; caffeine was banned on campus; fraternization between men and women, blacks and whites, was forbidden.
I caught a glimpse of Sigma Epsilon Chi, the fraternity-sorority house. Armed campus police were patrolling the yard, while frightened male and female faces peered out the window. In the background I could see a black hand passing a coffee cup to a white one.
I strolled down the street and found that Towers was still the same. The roof looked about to collapse, but it had looked that way ever since I could remember.
My ultimate destination was the Administration- guilding, where I had an appointment to see the
been a classmate of mine and a real firebrand against the rules.
"Sit down, Rob," she said from behind a wire screen. "I hope you don't mind the screen, but we have to set a good example for our young people. Lord knows they need us. Take Sigma Epsilon Chi. Can you picture it, boys and girls working on the same projects, attending the same meet.ings in the same house? The immoralities that could result!" She moistened her lips.
"And 1 know they're drinking coffee and tea over there. That's all the students want to do these days. Every year dozens of boys and girls on campus get caught with the stuff in their rooms."
I remembered that caffeine had been illegal on campus since 1985, when Mrs. Twain died and left the College a generous annual grant - as long as they observed the ban.
"As you know, Rob, we at the College feel that abstention from stimulants is a responsible form of
"Oh, I hate to cut this short, but I have to go to the judicial board.
It seems a white student and a black student were caught sharing an umbrella during a rainstorm. "I know what you're thinking, but the school has nothing against blacks. We simply feel that the mixing of the two races enhances neither the educational process nor the quality of life. Keeping them in separate-but-equal facilities north of the Campus Center is a true Christian whness to God's will. If He put the races asunder, it isn't up to us to put them together, now is it?"
Otterbein alumni will remember that the school has been segregated since 1992, when the Ku Klux Klan began giving it an annual endowment.
Two campus security guards tackled me and pinned me against the east wall while Joan edged out against the west wall. I looked at the clock. It was almost time for men's classes, which meant I would be able to leave the building

A special series of seminars, "Three on Thursday", will be held starting yesterday. Participants will discuss such topics as "Tracing Your Geneology: Are You A Mistake?", "Sheepshearing in the Australian Outback" and "Otterbein-Fact of Fiction?" These seminars will all be held in the basement of the Rike.

Domino's Pizza is asking for the return of its pizza delivery people who have disappeared this year in and around Otterbein. Said Mr. Domino, "All we're asking for is the return of the persons we sent out to deliver pizzas and never came back, their cars, or parts thereof. We need 'em for insurance reasons. You can keep the pizzas."
Parking
Continued from page 2 caught parking in a student's space?
The emphasis on buying a sticker should be that it provides you with a space to park which is rightfully yours by virtue of paying the registration fee. If someone is illegally parking in a spot which should be a student's, then they should have to pay a fine - the same as if a student has parked in a spot reserved for some other use besides student parking.
It also doesn't seem fair to charge $7.50 for the privilege of taking your chances in finding a space on the Westerville public streets. None of that money goes for maintenance of those streets and it ce'rtainly doesn't assure you of a parking space within three miles of campus.
It seems to me that the emphasis of the entire program ofparking fees and privileges is to provide conveni�nce for other groups first and give the students what is left over. Perhaps this thought is what Student Personnel needs to study before deciding what to do.
Finally, Otterbein was very proud of both keeping within the 7 percent wage guidelines and raising parking fees for students 27 percent. Does this seem as strange to you as it does to me?

In Revi ew Python Film in Tradition of '70's
By Desiree Shannon
Amidst religious furor from the secular community and incessant ballyhoo from promoters, the controversial biblical satire "Monty Python's Life of Brian" has finally hit Columbus. And I do mean hit, since it opened last Friday at the Cinema North Theater and is already playing to capacity crowds.·
Well, what could you expect?
The film was damned by nearly every religious denomination in the country weeks before it was released. People who would have never dreamed of going to see a film featuring the bizarre Monty Python group are going to see this one out of sheer curiosity.
Laying the controversy and hype aside, the film deserves viewing for its own comedic merits. For the most part, the film is ingenious and funny; at its worse, it's lethargic and tasteless.
The plot, which takes place in new Testament times, concerns an unfortunate schnook named Brian who is born on the same night as the baby Jesus and later grows up to be. mistaken for the Messiah.
The film runs like a long Carol Burnett late show spoof. As we journey with Brian down the road to messiadom, we encounter all sorts of hilarious situations and characters from the time period.
The six man team of Monty Python-Terry Jones, Graham Chapman, Michael Palin, John Cleese, Eric Idle and Terry Gilliam-play the various roles in the film, usually more than two for each of them. Chapman plays Brian with a sort of selfconscious paranoia. And he has a, right to be a paranoid, since his mother is played by Terry Gilliam in drag.
There are some great gags, like Brian getting caught painting slurs about the Romans on a building and being
stopped by a guard who punishes him for bad grammar.
There's also � funny scene at the beginning of the film where Brian and· his mother are listening to Jesus' Sermon on the Mount (this is the only scene in the film where Jesus, who is played by George Harrison of all people, is seen. The speaker is so far away from the crowd that they cannot hear what he's saying.
"The Greek shall inherit the earth-is what he said?" asks one of the characters. "I wonder which Greek?" asks another.
Of course, here are dry spots in the film. Most of the scenes are long and some of them, especially the ones that rely heavily on conversational dialogue, fizzle out. The scene were the revolutionary group that Brian has joined quibbles over parliamentary procedure tends to drag on and on . . ..
There are also bits that are hilarious but leave a bad taste in the viewers' mouth. One example is the last scene where Brian and about 15 others are tied to crucifixes. Eric Idle, who is hanging next to Brian, tells him to cheer up, and then starts to sing a catchy little tune called "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life." The rest of dying men start to sing along. This offbeat production number is probably one of the most hilarious scenes in the film-if not one of the most tasteless.
In looking at comedy films of the 70s, however; the most
STUDENT DISCOUNT CARD S ARE IN!! Call Us For Yours. We Deliver
popular ones have usually relied on vulgarity and inpropiety to get laughs. Movies like "Blazing Saddles" and "Animal House" have captured the public's hearts by "going too far."
This is why I can't understand the uproar over "Brian." It is undoubtful that Monty Python wanted to make fun of Christians, Jews or Jesus Christ in doing this film.
The group, like most comedians these days, makes fun of anything and everything they find laughable (or sorrowful, for that matter). It seems as if they were attacking the idea of organized religion in general instead of criticizing one particular religion or people.

Sustained Drive Yields Victory Cardinals Edge Rivals with Comeback
By Craig Jones
According to Head Coach Rich Seils, "determination and confidence" were the key factors in Otterbein's come from behind victory over arch-rival Capital, 14-13, Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium.
A Homecoming crowd of 4500 witnessed the Cardinal's fifth consecutive win and third straight in the Blue Division.
The Cardinals trailed 6-0 at the half and 13-7 at the end of three quarters, but took the ball 74 yards to tie the score at 1313. Freshman placekicker Jim Hoyle's extra point then proved to be the margin of victory.
"Our guys didn't give up and this is indicative of the kind of football team we have," said Seils. "The offensive line executed extremely well, probably the best in two years. It was a well-balanced attack from tackle to tackle and we were able to control the line of scrimmage from the start," he added.
The way the second half started it looked as if Capital might embarrass Otterbein. The Crusaders took a 13-0 lead when Raymond hit Adams with a 55yard aerial for a touchdown. "We had our hands on Raymond but he got away," said Seils, "and our defensive backs had come up for the run."
Otterbein came back in the third quarter with 1:39 to go. Gasser and Bressler combined for 35 yards rushing and Potts caught an 18-yard pass to set up
The Cardinals appeared determined as they scored in 15 plays to take the lead, 14-13.
Interceptions kept the Cardinals in the game. In the fourth quarter, with Capital leading 13-7, Capital quarterback Chad Ray"Il'\ond had a pass intercepted by junior free safety Dave Vulgamore at the Otterbein 26. The momentum carried over to the offense as Otterbein marched down the field 74 yards for a touchdown.
Capital was not finished yet, though, as Raymond took the Crusaders 49 yards on the ensuing drive to Otterbein's 26. The Crusaders, who appeared to be within field goal range, gambled and got burned.
Raymond attempted a pass over the middle but was intercepted by sophomore cornerback Doug Lake; who might have saved the game for the Otters on that play.
Seils commented on the defense's play against the wellrounded offensive attack of Capital: "We had three big interceptions (senior Jeff Jones grabbing the other one), two of which stopped drives late in the game," he said.
"Doug Lake had two exceptionally big plays," Seils added, referring to Lake's interception and his key tackle which resulted in a Capital loss of five yards.

Momentum Pushing Soccer Towards Varsity
By Steve Spangler
The player dribbles the round ball with his feet and then sets up his shot at the goal. Sound strange! Not if you know there is a new ball being kicked around in the U.S. and at Otterbein-soccer.
"Enthusiasm is mushrooming at all levels of competition," said James E. Carr, co-coach of the soccer team and French professor.
Carr wishes that more Otterbein students would catch some of that enthusiasm so Otterbein's team could go from club status to varsity status as part of the OAC s varsity soccer program.
Carr adds that "Otterbein is the only OAC school that does not play soccer on the varsity level."
Being the team statistician, time keeper, and morale builder are Carr's co-coaching responsibilities. However, co-
coach Less Goodman, a-broker for Westerville Reality, calls the strategic shots.
As Carr watched his players warm-up for their only home game (last Wednesday against Ohio Wesleyan) he commented on how effectively his player passes to his teammate.
"A new athletic program needs good recruiting, coaching, facilities and organization to justify a recommendation to the administration for expanding the athletic departments budget," said Dr. Elmer Yoest, athletic director of the Otterbein College.
Yoest noted that good recruiting takes time and is a result of a solid program in the three other aspects ;i.lready mentioned.
A coach has to come from the faculty for a varsity program and must have experience and be willing to sacrifice a great deal of time. Yoest is not sure at this point if there are any staff
It's in the Sportlight
Varied
Formations Explained
By John Hulkenberg
NCAA football is often explosive and this action frequently starts in a specific formation. The average fan probably does not realize the background involved in a particular set-up, so I will attempt an explanation.
The first formation familiar to football watchers is "the veer." This system is one in which the quarterback either hands off to a diving halfback, keeps possession himself, pitches out to the other halfback or passes the ball.
Next on the list is the "single wing." This is very rare in today's game, even though . Denison has great sµccess with it. In fact, they have the Division III total offense leader in Clay Sampson.
The setup is along the lines of the shotgun. The back who takes the snap either runs into a hole or passes the ball.
"The wishbone" is not
members who are qualified or want to take on the responsibility.
"We do not have a soccer facility at this point," Yoest stated. "A soccer field is about 20 yards wider than Otterbein's football field allows space for."
Yoest noted that Otterbein basically has a good organization for club status; but good organization includes an enthusiastic and consistent participation of students. "There were 18 to 20 men playing at the beginning of this year's sixgame season, but now there are barely enough students to play."
An Otterbein player hits the ball with his head to a teammate, but the ball is stolen by an opponent.
"We had between 20 to 25 kids playing and recruiting, an experienced coach from India
and our pharamaceutical staff, and a properly sized playing field," said Marvin English, athletic director for the last OAC team that went varsity in 1976 - Ohio Northern.
An Otterbein player steals the ball and dribbles to set up a shot. Will he score?
Dr. Yoest commented that most high schools already have soccer teams and many elementary and junior high schools have some kind of soccer program now. "There are over 3,000 elementary and junior high school kids playing soccer between Westerville and Worthington."
So despite the problems, Yoest believes that increasing interest in soccer nationwide will make the chances for an eventual Otterbein varsity team "good."
BEGGARS' NIGHT
_considered a passing formation, but an adequate quarterback is an added concer-n for the defense. There is an emphasis o� the ba.cks having the ability to block. This formation often finds the quarterback being struck at the same time he is pitching the ball to a halfback.
Probably the most widely used setup in college football is the "I formation," which features the sweep.
The quarterback is not really a primary ball carrier so you can get away with using a quarterback with less speed.
The last look to be examined is the "pro set." You see the two halfbacks spread apart for blocking protection or for the safety valve pass. This quarterback-oriented formation features trap plays, draws and screens.
One final thought-all of these set-ups have many variations; so it is tough to apalyze them.
