More Activities Goal of Nevv Director
By Doug Stanley
There will be a lot more for students to do on the Otterbein campus in the near future, according to the Director of the Campus Center and Student Activities.
Bob Gatti, who is in his first year at the helm of the Campus Center and Student Activities, has many plans for upcoming campus programming.
"Our major emphasis is weekend programming this year," said Gatti. He wants to make the Campus Center a place where students can go to socialize, relax, and have fun.
A new feature in the Campus Center lo..unge is a vide_o cassette machine. Students can watch shows and movies in the lounge for free. Upcoming features include a 60-minute "Mr. Bill Show", and the film "Superman".
"We plan on using the video cassette at least five hours a day," Gatti said. "I'd be pleased to run it 15 hours a day. Right now we just need people to utilize it."
Gatti cited the ping-pong table in the lounge, the video cassette machine, new electronic games located in the Roost, and the billiard room as attractions that should bring students into the 'Campus Center
Gatti, in conjunction with Mary Pembroke who is Assistant Director of Student Activities, hope to try new activities over the course of the year. "We're going to have a lot of live entertainment in the Campus Center," stated Gatti. "You're going to be hearing a lot of music coming from this building."
The Campus Programming Board (CPB), under the direction
October 9, 1980
of Pembroke, is now busy planning homecoming weekend activities which will include a parade and a dance.
,flowers to Flourish In Renovated Greenhouse
By David Eisnaugle
Even though snow will bl:rnket the campus grounds in a couple of months, the presence of roses, daisies and other flowers will still live on during the winter This will alJ be made possible due to the Otterbein College greenhouse, which just recently underwent an extensive renovation under the supervision of Professor Ursula Holtermann.
The renovation df the greenhouse consisted of installiflg n�'!" heating and ventilation systems, constructing benches, and putting in new glass panels.
The college still needs to raise money to purchase additional equipment, such as a cooling system, shading equipment and a new motor for the ventilation.
The construction and labor of the greenhouse thjs summer
was a project that was designed for two students. Eric_Stein, a senior at Otterbein, and Jerry Burden, a high school junior involved in the CETA program, were the sole laborers of the project.
Holtermann stated that the purpose behind the renovation was to expand the greenhouse, so more students could use the facility.
Besides being used for Biology
"We're going to take a shot at everything and try a lot of different activities," Gatti remarked.
projects and growing flowers for the campus grounds, Holtermann would like to see the greenhouse become a recreational facility. Students- are encouraged to use the greenhouse to pursue their "green thumb" interests, grow�ng flowers for their room, or for community projects, such as ·flowers for the nursing homes and the elderly. \ Former President,

Editor Responds
' First of all, the .Tan and Cardinal staff �elcomes comments a·bout our performance, good or bad. We have made some basic errors in writing and style and we are attempting to rectify them. But, these errors are not from lack of effort to produce a quality newspaper. It is not, nor ever has been, the policy of this paper to engage in arguments with . those writing letters to the editors. This is an exception: What is irritating is the manner which this "faculty" member uses to lambast the student newspaper of Otterbein College. ,,
The writer dares me to print the letter.So, here it is. However, would it not be a more professional gesture on part of the author of the letter to discuss the matter in private with the T & C staff?
The most bothersome part of the letter is the lack of a real name. What is perplexing to me is that there is a person on campus who lacks the guts to stand up for their beliefs.
Therefore, I am issuin.g a challenge of my own to "Frustrated Faculty:" The T 9nd C staff invites you to our critiquing session on Thursday, October 16, at 5:10 p.m.in the T and C office. We welcome any faculty member, but next week I want "Fr.ustrated" to show up. I DARE YOU!
As for the contents of the letter, I must question th(s person's taste, or lack of it.The author writes "It is hardly a pleasure any more to read such a publication. " The quality of this year's paper will stand up rather well against any paper previously published on this campus. Why, all of a sudden, has this person attacked this year's staff, when the crux of the problem is several years old ( OC deserves better work than this [and for several years' running])
The staff is only four weeks old.Give us a break.
As for 'boasting of a Journalism program' I feel this person has been mislead. Of the few journalism majors we have on our staff (and there are relatively few) most are currently taking their first college journalism course of any'kind.Also, the entire paid staff of the T and C is new. We have worked hard in putting out the first few editions, including an eight-page paper the first week, which is no easy task.
To insinuate that the staff is lazy and sloppy is a slap which can not be regarded lightly. Our staff members, all of them, are proud to be working for the paper, even though it is hel_g__in low esteem in many circles of the college community. There is more spirit and drive on this paper than ever before, as we all are committed to improving the quality of qur product.
The school newspaper is a chance for students to learn various aspects of the journalism program. School is a learning experience. The T & C is part of the educational process. To attack students for trying to learn shows a distinct lack of class. We put our product up against any produced by any other major at this college.

Bits and pieces of information are coming in about the identity of the "Unknown Forecaster." According to reliable sources, "Unknown" was once a student at Austin-Peay State University until a case of amnesia made the student leave school in search of Jimmy the Greek, whom "Unknown" thought was his real father. Disillusioned that the Greek did not claim him, the latest reports have "Unknown" living on a ranch in Wyoming, growing mashed potatoes and raising albino squirrels for profit.

Volleyball Team Pla\ls at Home T-0ntght,

Otterbein's women's volleyball team made their record four wins and six ·losses Saturday as the host Cardinals beat Malone College 15�4, 15-4, in the best of three, and lost to Bluffton College 8-15, 8-15.
Coach Terri Hazucha attributed the squad's early season record to two problems: f ,,, "The team's had some trouble adjusting to one another on the court because we have many new players," Hazucha said. "And our schedule has been tough. We've met up - with some very competitive teams so early in the season."
Hazacha said she is fortunate to have a flexible roster, which enables her to use all 12 players.

Only Home Meet of Year Saturday
Otter Runners Prepare for Challenge
By Craig Merz
The Otterbein Cross Country team is prepared for another challenge this Saturday. The Otters face defending Ohio Conference Champ BaldwinWallace, Ohio Wesleyan and Capital in the team's only home meet of the season. The quadmeet will be held at Sharon Woods Metropolitan Park and will begin at 11 a.m.
B-W will present the stiffest test yet for the Otters. The Yellow Jackets will be out to prov!:! that they are still the team to beat in the conference.
It was two weeks ago at the Malone Invitational that Otterbein ran away from the rest of the Ohio Conference teams present. With the conference meet three weeks away, the cream of the crop among conference runners and teams will be surfacing.
Head Coach Dave Lehman is not down playing the importance of the meet, �ut regards the competition Saturday as another stepping stone to a possible conference championship. Many of the Otter runners have been suffering from colds this week, Lehman noted, which has affected training somewhat.
Lehman has the luxury of resting another varsity runner this week. Mike Cook, the fifth man, at Malone, will be rested this week. The Malone Invitational has been the only meet all season where all of the top runners have run in the same meet.
Last Saturday at�Muskingum, Lehman held out the Otters' top three runners. Yet, Otterbein triumped over six other teams.
The Otters had a low score of 40' points. Ohio Wesleyan was secor1d with 51 points while the host Muskies totaled 80.
Senior Bob Gold led the Otter charge with a time of 26:39 over the very hilly course which ran through the Muskingum campus. Cook was second for the Otters. He was followed by Rob Rose, Hal Hopkins, Brian Wenger, Steve Summers and Steve Hallam
Big Plays Key Wooster Triumph Over Cards
By Dan Hughes
Wooster used a big play offense and the top-ranked defense in the NCAA to defeat Otterbein Saturday night, 28-6.
The Cards hung on grimly throughout most of the game until a pair of touchdowns midway through the fourth quarter put the game out of reach. The first came with 6:24 to play when Scot fullback Tom Mobilia capped a four play, 20 yard drive after an interception with a 1 yard plunge. Misfortune struck Otterbein on the ensuing kickoff when a fumble on the return flew straight into the arms of a Scot defender at the ca'rd 27 yard line. Wooster quarterback Gregg Barney then threw a TD pass on the next play, sealing the Wooster victory.
Wooster scored first on a 69yard run by halfback Mark Griggs on their second possession. The Scots appeared to be driving for another score on the next possessionwhen senior safety Dave Vulgamore intercepted a pass for the Cards at the Otterbein 35.
Card quarterback Scott Gasser then engineered a 12 play, 43 yd. drive that ended with a 28 yard field goal by Jim Hoyle. The key plays in the drive were passes of 23 yards to split end Dave Torgerson and 21 yards to tight end Steve Hakes.
The pass to Hakes appeared to be a touchdown, but a clipping penalty against the Cardsnullified the score and moved the ball back t� the Scot 18. Four plays later Hoyle kicked his field goal, the first points scored on Wooster this season.
Hoyle added another field goal with 2:32 left in the first half, but it proved to be too little for the Cards, whose record drops to 2-2.
Randy Bressler rushed for 74 yards and Gasser passed for 76 to lead the offense, while linebackers Randy Weisenstein, Steve Marriot, and end Jeff Humphrey contributed on defense, according to Otterbein Head Coach Rich Seils.
The Cards face another stiff challenge this week when they Lravel north to play BaldwinWallace. When asked about what to expect from the high1scoring Yellow Jackets, Seils remarked, "They kickoff a lot." Seils regards B-W as probably the finest team in the conference and expects to have a "few surprises for them."
