Phone Changes Hinge On PUCO Case
By Becky Scheck
Otterbein's phone system will remain unchanged next year unless a decision in the College's favor is reached soon by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO).
Woodrow Macke, vice president for business affairs, said that he is "making no commitments to any changes" until the PUCO is heard from.
The Commission is currently hearing cases against Ohio Bell's system of measured rates, which requires businesses to pay 9 cents for each local call after the first 80 calls each month.
According to Macke, if the Commission rules that measured rates are not allowable, the College would probably reinstate the policy of allowing students to make local calls from campus phones. The present policy of not allowing local calls was put into effect when Ohio Bell switched to the measured rate system in 1978.
"It is my goal to get to the point where students can make off-campus calls," Macke said, "but I am not optimistic about it."
Students are presently charged $20 per phone per term for room phones which allow students to make campus calls and receive campus and
incoming calls. This fee will be increased to $24 per term next year.
According to Macke, this money is used to pay for the phone system (which is approximately 50 percent paid off) and its operations (switchboard operators, repairmen, etc.).
At the present time about one-ha:lf of the dorm residents have phones in their rooms. The remaining 50 percent utilize the hall phones. All local outgoing calls must be made from pay phones.
Otterbein receives a riercentage of the income from some of these pay phones and must pay for the remainder of them.
Macke said that the College receives approximately 12 percent of the income from all campus pay phones that are accessible to the public and must pay $15.20 per month for each phone that is not public (those in dormitory hallways).
The need for many of these pay phones would be eliminated if a policy change allowing
students to call off-campus from campus phones was instituted.
One alternative being considerd, according to Macke, is to set up a computer monitoring system. Each outgoing local call from each room phone would be recorded by a computer and the residents of that room would be billed 9 cents per call.
However, the College is awaiting the findings of the PUCO before taking any action to alter the current system.
I.S. Ideal Stresses Adaption
By Lois McCullen
An Integrative Study advisory committee is in the process of re-evaluating courses in the current curriculum.
"I have a sense that this. hasn't been done recently," explains William T. Hamilton, chairman of the I.S. Department, "and I think the faculty members have a sense that we don't know enough about what others are doing.'·
The process has begun with an exercise in self-description, determining what each course is trying to accomplish in terms of skills, concepts, and relevance to the nature of man.
In anticipation of the dreaded "Blue Northerner," a fluke June blizzard that has ravaged the Midwest for centuries, the Service Department has left up this snow fence. Reliable sources say that, yes, the heat in the dorms will be turned on when (and if) the blizzard hits.

"Eventually, perhaps by the end of next fall. we hope to have a manual available to the faculty about what courses are doing, and how each is being handled," Hamilton continued.
"Of course, one has to keep in mind that the courses are constantly changing. No active, alive professor teaches the same course twice-our faculty are sensitive to what is working well in the classroom and we are continually trying to improve."
And it is this ideal that shapes Otterbein's rare department-Integrative
Studies and the Nature of Man. Four years ago, the LS. Department was developed to change the curriculum of "common courses"-those courses often referred to as a general education program-ir an effort to give them a more formal structure.
"We wanted to explore the way in which various theories of human nature relate to each other," said Hamilton, "with the hope that the student begins to integrate his own knowledge, ·einterest and ambition into thee broader perspective of humane

No Option
With the Ohio primaries just eleven days away it appears that Carter and Reagan already have their parties' nominations wrapped up for all practical purposes. Despite sporadic victories for both Bush and Kennedy, the delegate leads for the two front- runners seem insurmountable.
This would not necessarily be a bad state of affairs if the voters were really offered a choice between two candidates with opposing views. But this does not seem to be the case.
Reagan's older, a little more conservative. Carter's younger, a little more middle-of-the-road.
But both agree that the American taxpayer carries too big a burden; both agree that outlays for defense purposes must be increased; both do not (to put it mildly) put much stock in social programs; both agree that, yes, there is a "Red threat"; both agree that we need to develop alternative energy sources.
When it comes down to the voting, Reagan has an edge in that he (unlike Carter)'has not ignored his party's platform. Carter's platform seems to be reshaped with each public opinion poll.
Carter has an edge in that he is aware that Vietnam veterans are receivin_g government benefits. Reagan, somehow, did not know this, which makes one wonder what it is he does know.

With this in mind. watchingt "Kay and Corky," the opening,t pitiful country act, was hardlyt possible. All three of us figitedt uncomfortably in our seats.t
Though the event was to bet earth-shattering, I noticed onlyt 6,000 people or less present int Richfield Coliseum, and a veryt mixed crowd at that: children,t ages three and up, high schoolt punks with a stench of pot ont their fading army jackets,t sophisticated college studentst (like us), middle-aged drunkent people, and the elderly. Nevert before had such a smallt gathering of such amazingt variety congregated to see at group perform.t
"Ha!" I thought to myself, "We must be the few lucky, chosen on earth. It's like being invited to ride Noah's Ark or something."
Then it happened.
Since we were sitting in an upper tier, we could see over the curtain that divided the audience's view from backstage. And we saw it. The shadow coming around the corner. And the image that cast the shadow, dressed just as I had seen him on T.V. (except for the large, white shoes.) The man, the legend: Slim Whitman.
"There he is!" I shrieked, and the entire upper tier where the younger, rowdier portion of the crowd was seated went hysterical. The Messiah had come at last.
Whitman hit the stage. The younger audience jumped to their feet, bellowing. The 57year-old-and-up crowd remained seated, applauded quietly and gave the 56-year-
old-and-under crowd a most disgusted look.
Whitman started off with "Una Poloma Blanca-a-a-a-ah!!"
On his first yodel, his selfpatented skill, his trademark, the younger audience went schizo, including this reporter and his two friends. Mam yodels were to follow anct" v-:ith each. the same r0act1on came Slim had thC' peoplP where n· ,, ant ·d 1l ein thoJgt> ht• p• t halilv 1 t:•H1 1 ' DP\\ it.

Slim's T.V. commercial had obviously not done him justice. We found the stiffly-moving creature seen on the tube to be a friendly, smiling man of _stature w_ho anyone would gladly take home to his or her
mother. His jokes, though not funny, had our tier rolling in the aisles.
Slim then brought his son on stage to sing a few (ahem) "rock ·n roll'' songs. The songs weret bad; his son was bad; he tried tot yodel; we wanted Slim back;t Slim's son ripped his skin-tightt c;;equrn pants and left stage.t

CPB Movies Offer Quality Entertainment At A Low Price
By Desiree Shannon
The difference between an extra and a luxury is like the difference between Kroger ground round and filet mignon. One you can digest on a rainy Saturday afternoon, while you save the other for a Friday night event.
It used to be this way with the movies: you could mozy on down to any old mythical Bijou on a free day, see a double feature and buy popcorn for well under $5. Now you're lucky if you can spend under $15 unless you go by yourself.
Yes, cheap entertainment is hard to come by, and the movies are no exception.
But before you commit yourself exclusively to that other form of popular entertainment (the tube for boobs) you should be aware that, at least at Otterbein, you could have an alternative and relief from high film admission prices. This relief comes in the form of CPB's dollar-movie series. That's right - the
admission to these films is only a dollar.
What's more, this series ·t f eatures very recent, hit films,t not old, moldy pieces of junk.t Some movies featured just thist past year were "A Star ist ·tBorn," "Goodbye Girl," "Blazingt Saddles" and "One on One."t
Next year's bill of faret includes such titles as "Timet After Time," "Agatha," "Goingt in Style," "Hooper," "The Maint Event," "The Inlaws," "Bobbyt Deerfield,'' "The Amityvillet Horror,'' "Running" and "Thet Electric Horseman."t
None of these films are moret than two years old and it willt
probably be a couple of years before they hit T.V. Because these films are relatively new, they are rather expensive to rent. A film can run anywhere from $100 - $600 to rent, depending on whether or not it was bought as part of a package deal.

Paul Laughlin, assistant professor of religion. has been at Otterbein for just nine short months, but already he has displayed his professional expertise. He has put together a fas1.:inating blend of musicians to form tre Columbus branch of the Liturgical .Jazz Ans

Thi" co11<.:e1 n led to tht birth of a group whi<.: h doe-; not "perform'' for audienee:s. Lut rather facilitates a ne\\' expression of worshiµ 111 \\'hieh congregations are invited to participate. To the best of his kno\\'ledge, there are no other groups similar to it in the country.

The group's original title was the Liturgical Jazz Ensembie. The "Arts" addition evolved when Laughlin began to introduce poetry and visual media as other means of expression. He plans to expand even further with the use of interpretive dance and chancel I.S. Program needs and desires."
It was at this time that Stevenson's Seven Theoriesof Human Nature was adopted as a text in order to "help students integrate what they are learning-from various disciplines-about the nature of man," says Hamilton.
"The unusual thing about our program (of general education) is the high value put on it by the faculty involved," stresses Hamilton.
And students? "We will probably always have an uphill fight having students take as seriously courses outside their majors," admits Hamilton, "but this presents the challenge to

Laughlin is quiek to add that although they are the youngest, the members of the Otterbein group "are some of the best people I've ever worked \\'ith in terms of professional experience." He also states that although the work is frustrating because of tight schedules, it is also the group with the greatest potential.
The group's lead singer, Graham, is a theatre major from Massillon. She is a member of both Concert Choir and Opus Zero and recently for the advisory committee.
"There is one issue behind the ideal: Is there such a thing as human nature?
"Many of our faculty members are addressing this notion and theories range from the anthropoligist, who says practically no statements can be made about man except in the context of a social situation, to the theologian, who says man has a human nature separable from society."
Hamilton says there is a subtle distinction between the liberal arts education concept and the LS. Department. "The whole college is liberal arts, not just LS.," he says.
"I think the approach in most

Ciampa, the group'::, ba ·s player. is a mu. ic ech ·at10n major from .Johnstown, Pa. His musical talents also include keyboard and composition. He is presently doing some composing for the group.
Tatgenhorst, a drummer and vocalist, is a theatre major from Cincinnati. He is a member of Opus Zero and recently starred in "Guys and Dolls."
Laughlin, keyboard playerand founder of the Ensemble, is a Methodist minister, originally from Kentucky. He did his undergraduate work at the University of Cincinnati and
"The mistake of many students, and some faculty, is to equate LS. and liberal arts, set apart from the major. It's not that neat of a dichotomy.a"
Hamilton says he thinks the faculty "takes seriously the 'liberal-arts-college-in-theChristian-traditiona"' description of Otterbein. "That by no means suggests we teach 'Christian - Biology' or 'Christiana Accounting' or that all oura faculty are Christians-they'rea not-but it does mean we'd all·a agree on the importance of mana and a human purpose beyonda eating, sleeping anda reproducing.''a

On Sunday the Liturgical Jazz/ Arts Ensemble will appear at the 9:45 a.m. and 11 a.m. services of the Church of the Messiah in Westerville. Laughlin and the Ensemble extend an open invitation to Otterbein students to come and share this unique religious experience.
"An education where we read, write, think and talk is probably the best kind of education we know how to present to a person graduating into a changing world," says Hamilton.
"Don't neatly oppose liberal arts to the practical," warns Hamilton. "Writing, thinking, and discussing issues are highly practical skills."
Hamilton says the curriculum is reformed frequently and that the current re-evaluation in LS. "is not based on a sense that the m:ission has changed or should change, but that the technique of carrying out the mission always needs revision."
And that mission Hamilton professors to make the best fit fields (at Otterbein) is a 'liberal' value for the graduate.a recalls hearing from a liberal between student curriculum approach-that is, an interest in "Anybody who's going toa arts professor elsewhere: "We and what he thinks the student principle as well as practice, succeed in society needs not onlya are tryng to educate a student ought to learn." breadth as much as skills, but the ability to learna so that if caught in a motel in It is this kind of professor specialization, and generally skills, present himself to ana Iowa in a snowstorm. he·11 haw who seems to be working in the applicable intellectual skills rather employer, adapt to change, anda something to think about."

Q: If our nation continues to develop nuclear energy instead of opting for renewable sources our economy will become dependent on atomic power. Do you see any problems in this?

Smith, Pontius Receive OAC
By Scott Brockett
Senior centerfielder Dean Smith and junior designated hitter Randy Pontius were named to the First-Team All0 hio Conference for the 1980 baseball season. All conference coaches participated in the balloting.
Finishing his final season for the Cardinals, Smith batted a career-high .380 in 40 games, set a school record with 51 runs scored, led the team in walks with 38 and in stolen bases with 12, and tied Pontius for most hits with 49. The 5'8" outfielder also belted eight home runs.
Pontius, the squad's leading hitter at .415-the second best average ever at Otterbein-was listed ninth in the nation in the most recently released NCAA Division 3 stats. In 34 games and 118 at bats, the 5'11" slugger accounted for 30 RBI's. He rapped 11 doubles, two
triples and one home run in addition to stealing eight bases in as many attempts.
Also representing the Cardinals on the All-OAC squads were senior Larry Korn (second-team outfielder) and junior Doug Barr (honorable mention first-baseman).
Playing in his first full season for Otterbein, Korn hit .374 with 46 hits and 25 RBI's. Barr accounted for a team-leading 49 RBI's while setting singleseason school records with ten home runs and 12 doubles.
The Cardinals finished their season with a 5-1 victory over Denison to run their record to 26-13-2. They compiled a 16-4-1 mark against Division 3 schools.
The team was sailing along in first place in the Southern Division until a double-header loss to Wittenberg on April 26 paved the way for Marietta to take over the top spot and eventually defeat Ohio Northern
for the OAC title.
In addition to those selected for conference honors, several other players contributed greatly to the successful campaign.
Junior catcher Jeff Brindley hit .378, senior right-fielder Mike Zigo hit .384, senior second-baseman Randy Moblety hit .295 and turned in key defensive plays all season, sophomore third baseman Dave Nespeca hit .354 with 30 RBI's, and sophomore shortstop Lee Cooperrider hit .316.
N especa felt such lusty hitting was the key to the Cardinals' season. "We really belted the ball," he said. "We also had a couple of pitchers hurt earlier who came on in the end and I think they'll be ready next season." All of Otterbein's pitchers will return next year.
But the year also had its disappointments. "We had it all in front of us (a division title) that Saturday against Wittenberg, but it suddenly
disappeared," Nespeca said. "It was just a couple of fluke games."
He added that he felt the Otters' overall record, tough schedule and hitting prowess should have warranted them a bid in the NCAA Division 3 tournament.
Slater Defeated
Freshman Lou Slater was eliminated in the quarter-final round of the Midwest Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (MAIAW) tennis tournament last weekend at the University of WisconsinWhitewater.
She won her first match, 6-2, 6-1, against an opponent from Eau Claire College.
After winning the first set 60 in the quarter-final match, she bowed out 2-6, 3-6 to Kathy Henning of Augustana College.
Slater is the first female netter from Otterbein to qualify for the regional tournament.
