Baker, Subcommittes To Hold Open Discussions On
Any students interested in what has been happening with the alcohol and visitation bills that were referred to the Campus Services and Regulations Committee should attend a question-and-answer session Thursday at 9:30 p.m. in the Campus Center lounge.
The session, which will be led by Student Trustee Gary Baker, has been scheduled so that students will have a chance to voice their opinions and ask questions concerning the two bills.
"I would really like to see a lot of people there," Baker said. "I hope students take the opportunity to find out what's really going on."
Next Friday on open forum with the alcohol subcommittee will be held from 11-1 p.m in the Campus Center. Baker
Bills
emphasized that all students are invited to attend the forum and discuss the progress and future of the two bills.
Baker, along with alcohol subcommittee members Scott Carroll, Joyce Karsko and Bob Gatti, will organize the forum.
Chris Ellertson, chairman of the visitation subcommittee, said that his committee must further analyze the visitation surveys that were recently circulated before any changes can be made. He speculated that a forum on visitation would be held sometime during the third week in May.
During the May 14 session of the College Senate the subcommittee will report on their progress. Baker does not know if there will be any specific proposals ready by that time.

''Feedback'',
By Gary Baker, Student Trustee
It's the end of the fifth week-only five weeks until Otterbein releases its graduating seniors. In the next few weeks it will be very interesting to see what transpires.
Currently there are several matters of concern. One is the success of coach Fishbaugh's Cardinals. I congratulate the baseball team on an excellent season so far and wish them the best of luck the rest of the season.
You may be asking, "What has happened to the alcohol and visitation bills?" These bills are being investigated by the two subcommittees of Campus Service and Regulations.
Each subcommittee will submit a report during the May 14 session of the College Senate. I hope there will be some strong recommendations and possibly some proposals.
The channels open to these subcommittees are difficult to negotiate. In order to come up with some favorable ideas the subcommittees must secure cooperation from everyone, I especially students.
The visitation subcommittee has sent out surveys which I encourage you to return.
The alcohol subcommittee is holding a forum to receive suggestions from students. Th-e forum will be held in the Campus Center next Friday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. I -
strongly urge you to participate. I want to congratulate all newly-elected senators and .· committee members. You have the opportunity to contribute greatly to the College. Even though it may seem frustrating at times, your participation is needed in order to preserve a solid system.
Congratulations and best of luck to all, especially the newlyelected student trustee, Dan Pohl.·
In closing, I want to address the students about the.entire social atmosphere at Otterbein. It seems as if there is some difficulty in finding entertainment in the College community.
This situation frustrated me somewhat during my first two years here, but since I moved off-campus this has changed, I want you to inform me about any problems you may have encountered.
I will be holding a questionand-answer session in the Campus Center Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. I will answer all questions and address the issues currently on campus.
I hope there is a very large turnout because I will specifically address the alcohol and visitation issues. Please come over so that you can help me start putting something together. It's time to start speaking up again.
Recently, I have heard • rumors that Toma has hit the campus and has been staking out several fraternity houses. It makes me feel save and secure knowing we are being watched.
Sale �f Kilgore Property Could Help Endowment Fund
Otterbein is currently in the process of trying to sell a property it has held for nearly 20 years.
The property is a 110-acre farm in the northeast corner of Westerville on Tussic Road, just north of Westerville North High School.
The College was given the property in the early 60s by the Kilgore Company when the company closed its Westerville operations. The Kilgore Company had operated a flare and fireworks factory at the site.
According to Woodrow Macke, vice president for business affairs, the property will be sold "when the price is right," He said that the College

Excerpts From My Daily J�urnal;
Excuses For My Present Condition
By Ere Cosine

Fordays theysitwith himandtalkto him, thinking thathecan hearthem and realizewhatthey are sayingbut isis unableto respond. When they both loose their voicestheyseekprofessional help.At asuggestionfrom their localpsychiatristthey buy twentywatermelonsto keep their son company. In the confusion thewatermelonsget mixed up andthey cannotdistinguish their sonfromtherest.
Whenall of the watermelons beginto rotthe man andwife decideto plantthe seeds in an acrefield they purchase from a psychic. Theland proves to be magical andthewatermelonthat wastheirson growshundredsof littleboys that delight the parentsand they all live happily everafteron the seeds ofthe· othertwentywatermelons.
Age 2: Today I realized my entire existence.I realized that I am a Being; an "I"; I have an identity that separates me from my fellow man.How can I correct this flaw?
I am not a predictable person, however, I continually remind myself how foolish I am. One time when I was a child I mistook my brother for a sixfoot spitoon. That was the first time my foolishness was pounded into my mind.
An English professor told me today that my writing was illegible and the content was beneath the capability of a neurotic six-year old. "Burn your pens and go to work in a factory where you are needed," he said, "Instead of destroying things, build them!"
"You mean I should quit writing then?" I asked with
sister, when I was first born, thought I was a new pet in the house.The first word l spoke, which I might add was at 13 months, was "meow." They wanted a cat very badly.
When I was eight my brother used to tell me that I was adopted (he wasn't very creative) and that my real parents were a group of 15 dwarves living off of nuts and berries somewhere in Cambodia.My sister, a little more creative, told me that I would die at age ten. Like a fool I believed her-sometimes even still I think she is right.
Occasionally I get bombs in the mail from my brother and sister. I have to check every. package to make sure they are not boobytrapped. A month ago a UPS truck blew up and killed five near my place.The same day my sister called the house and asked the person on the other end: "Is Eric still alive?"
It has not gotten better-my dad, two weeks ago, called to say one thing before he hung up: "Son, I wish I had aborted you!"
Today my pet rock left me for another master.He tried to break it to me easy.He told me that he felt confined and bored. He said he wanted to be a rolling stone.He said he no longer wanted to gather moss. But I know he loves another.I could tell by his complexion.
I don't know what I will do.I don't want just any old brick in the road.I need my little peddle. We used to be so close.
I guess I destroyed our relationship when I told him I wanted to paint little eyes on him. "I'm not human, s.o don't try to make me something I'm not!" he said.It was all my fault.
I saw the bodies hoisted in exhaltation by the Iranian students.The anger boiled in my veins.I kept on thinking,
ODE TO THE ULTRAVIOLET
Look at the bodies lying in the sun
Listen to the sizzles as the people fry
Basting oneself is sure lots of fun
Hope I get skin cancer early and die
Let's all get dark and not miss a place
Grease ourselves up from the toes to the head
Tanning the armpits, knees and face
Turn over slowly, stretch the legs, and spread
A few sun worshippers get pretty red
A fluorescent glow from forgetting to turn
And then a good bit of skin is shed
From all those colorful second-degree burns
Here comes the Service Department driving by
Notice how the vehicle starts to slow
Some tanners 'specially catch the eye
Those that resemble water buffalo
If you want to get tanned, don't wear much cover
Then lay down and shift that around, to boot
But the darkest ones are formal others
Who like to tan in their birthday suits.
People are proud of their brown transformation
I sometimes wonder if there won't be
Demand for a new campus organization
Like CORE or the NAACP
It's time to quit, the rhymes, they worsen
And the ideas aren't coming too.cunningly
But after this, if you want me in person
I'll be in a private spot sunning me

First-Rate Cast Highlights Musical
By Lois McCullen
The response tomusical comedies is that you fall inlove with the leadsandexpect your dateto burst int:9 songtomorrow night at Zantigo's.
The'response to Guys and Dolls atCowan Hall is thatthe orchestra isoutof tune andtoo loud, and the choreography is unimaginative.
But the successof Guysand Dollsisa superb studentcast.
A story of gamblersand their bet on whether ourmain man falls for theSalvationArmy mission "doll" leads to aquick jet trip to Havana, a crapgame in the mission, a broken 14-year engagement, a prayer meeting-well-attended,and, finally, thepredictable resolutionof twocouples.
FontaineFollansbee as Sarah Brown and Rich Tatgenhorst as Sky Masterson head the cast as
the theoretical leading couple. This pair is quite comfortable together, as theyhave servedas romantic partners on stage before, and they react toeach other smoothly and efficiently.
Follansbee gives a tight performance as the starched prude of the mission, and inthe Havana interlude keepsher drunkenness impressively under control. She is a gifted vocalist and "I'll Know" is handled delicately while the contrasting "If I Were A Bell" has areal flair and allows Sarah toshun her inhibitions. Though Sarah's propriety may call for some coolness, Follansbee lacks some energy for this proselytizing personality which wouldmake thecharacter not just attractive and likeable (as.she is), but not loveable (especially when we need tounderstand why Sky loves her).
Tatgenhorst is strikingas Sky, carrying the confidence that such aman wouldneedto be heldin high esteem withthe gambling circuit. His movement is so convincing that weare withhimas much as thedice are in "Luck Be A Lady." This particular number iscontrolled and defined, and Tatgenhorst provides theonly vitality in this scene whichis otherwise tedious and insad need of some choreographic assistance.
Tatgenhorst's numberslatein thefirst act withFollansbee giveusromance, andheis tender and serene in "MyTime of Night"and "I've Never Been in Love Before." We are charmed.
Perakisas thesecondfemale lead, Adelaide, actuallyspends as much time on stage as Sarah. She sets off Follansbee's prude succinctlyas the carbaret singer with a whinyvoiceand promiscuous manner. Her permanent cold is caused bya near-permanent engagement and "Adelaide's Lament"remarkablywelldone-is descriptiveofsuch acondition.
Thechorusnumber againlacks the imagination n�eded forthis cabaret, but Perakis shines later in "Sue Me" with partner Richard Buckley.
Buckley isNathan Detroit, the instigatorofthe "floating crapgame"and suitor to Miss Adelaide.This actor's senseof comic timing isphenomenaland hismovementsobelieveable that onerealizes Buckleyhasan ability tointernalize his characters beyond what is
typical ina student actor. Buckley spends more timeon stage than theother leadsand it is evident the audience adores him.
Support characters worth mention are Cal Metts as Nicely-NicelyJohnsonand D. Scott Dillon as Benny Southstreet. Both exhibit good control on stage, and it seems Dillon has more fun with this role thananyother this reviewer hasseen from him. Metts issurprisinglyadept asa freshman, andhis "Fuguefor Tinhorns" (with Dillon and A. Victor Jones), and especially "Sit Down, You're Rockin' The Boat," are exceptionalsinging performances. The malechorusin "The Oldest Established"has anice balance and full sound, though the appearance of our menis slightly less exciting. The "Crapshooter's Dance" preceding "Luck Be A Lady" is just plain boring. Though the choreography is not consistent with the enthusiasm of theactors, Kelly Maurer and Jorge Bender are the shining starsin an otherwiselistlessstringof dance sequences.
Therewere afew minor technical problems Wednesday withanot-so-accurate spotlight and afew scenes shortened by cutting the lights too soon. The sound system.iseffectivein capturingthevocal numbers but, unfortunately, floor mikescapturealsothe highheelsof the chorus girls during their struts acrossstage.
Thescenery is somewhatdull, but ourattention is so seized by the spontaneous and vigorous charactersthat wedisregard it. Costumes workwell for the Hotbox girls (although Adelaide's yellow blouse in the second act stands out as apoor color choice). The men's suits aretimely, but in some cases thefitisa bit off, whichis distracting.
Director Charles Dodrillhas surely succeededinbringing his talented cast together topresent a well-timed and energetic show. It is long, but moves so quicklyandenjoyablethat the audiencedoesn'tseemto mind.
Performancescontinue tonight and tomorrow, and it would indeedbeapity for anyoneto missthesehighly entertaining Guysand Dolls.
"Jazz" Narrative Up to Choreography
By Desiree Shannon
Good dance filmsseem to haveshuffledout of sight along with T.V.cigarette commercials and patent-leather tap shoes.In former times, they were iconsto thecheerfulsideoffilms, alwayshoppingand striding, accompaniedbyhappymusic and airycomedy.
But all that'schanged. Oh, there are still dance musicals, thelatestone beinga Christmas release, ''All That Jazz."Like "Cabaret,"a 1972 dancefilm which won an Oscar forbest picture, "Jazz"dwells on the darker sideof life's stage curtain.
Not that theviewerhasto takethis film asa heavy statement onthe Soul of Man.
I'm sure BobFosse, who directed and choreographed this semi-autobiographical film, as wellas "Cabaret,"meant itto bea "deep"movie. Becauseof his lack of dramaticvision and his concentration on the technoloicalaspects, "AllThat Jazz"time-stepsitselfoffinto
the land ofFuzzy, Pretentious Film.
The technical sideof "Jazz" is dazzling. (It won Oscars last monthfor editing,artdirection, set decoration, costumedesign and adaptation score.)The glitter really comes into play duringthe numerous dance sequence.
The film's central plot revolvesaround the death fantasies of a renowned dance choreographeranddirector.Thedances that heputs together arejazzy, snazzy and superblydonewith style. Fosse's direction and choreographyare in fine form where the dance sequences are concerned-theyglide along withgrace and fluidity.
The costumes and sets add rriuchspark to the numbers, as does themusic,mostofwhichis adaptedfro�othersources.
Alan Heim's skillful editing is especially effective-the wrong splices in the wrongplaces couldhave ruined thepace and Continued on page 7

Gideon's Death
Continued from page 4 continuity of the dances.
Fosse's success with the musical part of the film contradict his failure to provide impetus to its narrative. The story tells us that we must empathize with the main character, a boozing, womanizing cad who is just as careless with his relationships with other people as he is with his health. (He is willfully pushing himself toward a heart attack.)
Roy Schneider of "Jaws" fame gives a likable performance as the brittle, rather self-centered Joe Gideon, but any appeal he gives to the character is counterbalanced by Fosse's plodding story direction and script.
Gideon sits around for half the film, shallowly contemplating the shallowness of his ,; life, talking to a rather glamorized personification of Death, a lady dressed in white. veils and gloves. She is the only lady in the film he doesn't jilt.
Gideon does his dying during the second half of the film: he pops in and out of the hospital, makes superficial comments about his life and loves, and finally ends up in the intensive care unit, dream-choreographing his death.
Fosse shows us that old Joe is strutting towards his last number, and indeed tells us that this character wants to die.
However, what he doesn't tell us is why Gideon has his persistant death wishes or why his life is worthless.
Three Journalism Courses Set
Otterbein's journalism program takes a step forward next year when three new courses will be taught. Part of the interdisciplinary journalism major, the courses are "Editing" (Eng. 28) in winter term and "Layout and Design" (Eng. 36) and "Advanced Reporting" (Eng. 42), both in spring term.
The three courses are part of the required sequence for journalism majors, but they are also open as electives.
According to James R. Bailey, chairman of the English Department, "We anticipate that upper division students who entered college before the journalism major was initiated may want to elect these courses."
He added that any student interested in a career in writing and publication will find the new courses useful. He especially recommended the courses for students in the
writing major and in public relations.
The only prerequisite for any of the courses is newswriting (Eng. 26).
Another change in the journalism offerings for next year is that the newswriting course is being taught in both autumn and spring terms. The additional section will enable a freshman major to pick up the first course in the major sequence during the spring term.
James F. Gorman, instructor in the English Department, will teach in the journalism program next year. He will teach newswriting in autumn term and also the "Layout and Design" course.
The new "Advanced Reporting" course is to be taught by Bailey. The "Editing" · course is yet to be staffed but plans are to appoint someone especially to teach it.
Fosse refuses to probe into character motivation; he just lets his character wallow gratuitously in self-indulgent introspection.
The musical-dance sequence almost make up for· the limpne'Ss of the central plot and its main character. If you like
