Poetry Alive and Well at Otterbein
By Joy Grandstaff
btterbein's Poetry Series will continue with Colette Inez's poetry reading Monday night in the Campus Center Lounge.

Instructor James Gorman, who started the series at Otterbein, said the series was brought to Otterbein to "let our students know poetry did not die with Shakespeare."
The English department began minor revisions of the reading lists last spring for IS 11 and IS 27, two of the three composition and literature courses required by all students. They agreed that poetry should take a more important role in both courses. according to Gorman. The poetry readings are to serve as Supplements for the two courses, said Gorman.
The poetry series is funded partially by a grant from the Ohio Arts Council. The other half is provided by the Otterbein Lecture Series budget. Gorman says that Director of Development Don Hines and Chairman of the lntigrative Studies Program Professor William Hamilton have been especially supportive of the series.
The Ohio Poetry Circuit also plays an important part in the poetry series, Gorman said. The circuit is a group of colleges in central Ohio that meets to choose poets to tour the colleges.
Gorman said this allows the colleges of the circuit to get excellent
poets for a very reasonable fee.
Gorman feels that the first reading by Paul Zimmer showed stu-,,, dents that "poetry can be fun and provacative."
Zimmer·s reading had an attendance of 130 students, faculty and community members; half of which were requ-i-red to attend.
Inez's reading is not being required in any classes, so Gorman is expecting a smaller turnout by students but the same from faculty and community residents.
Gorman said that more work has been done in the classroom for this reading to prepare students to enjoy the poetry rather than just sit through it. Gorman said he recognizes that "it may take a year or two to develop an interested audience for poetry."
Members of the English department are hoping that the poetry series will serve the community as well as the students of Ott erbe in. Gorman said the bringing of excellent poets to Otterbein should "make the public aware that exciting things are hap6ening in literature and- the Otterbein English department is aware of them."
The English department is also trying to revive interest in the Quiz and Quill (the college literary society) through these poetry readin.gs Gorman said that he hopes Inez's appearance Monday night and in tfi e classroom will draw attention to the contest in poetry and creative writing going on that is sponsored by the Quiz and Quill.

Viewpoint Greelc s Defended
By Greg Stemm
The women have alrea(jy begun pledging, and freshmen and independent tnen have but a few days before their decision to sign or not to sign.
Winter term once again brings rush and pledging, and once again anti-Greek voices can be heard raising synical and often bitter criticism of the Greek system.
Agreed, the Greeks are not for everyone-and there is certainly no embarrassment" in remaining independent.
However, it is time for someoQe to stand up and proclaim the merits of being Greek. It is also certainly no embarrassment to go Greek.
It is all too often that one hears that fraternities and sororities are nothing but fronts for "drinking clubs"
"The Greeks serve no useful function on this campus,e,, many anti-Greeks proclaim.
Let's take a look at what would happen if, by some quirk, the Greek system would vanish from Otterbein
If you are planning the 1981 Fall Homecoming festivities, be sure to scratch 11 or 12 floats from the parade. And if you are voting for Homecoming Queen, you shouldn't have any trouble deciding who to vote for. I predict that the one candidate would win in a landslide. Of course, her court would be a bit bare ... The same would be true of Winter Homecommg.
Interested in intramurals? While there would certainly still be teams participating, don't count on the competition found today. The Greek system provides the spirit, the leadership and the man (or womEm) to power the excellent intramural program at Otterbein.
. Gone would be the competitive spirit of Greek Week and the Greek Olympics, not to mention academic challenges such as Whiz Quiz or vying for top cummulative grade point averages.
And finally, let's not forget the social life the Greeks provide .e If yol} don't go home on the weekends (which far too many of us are guilty of) the Greeks often keep Otterbein entertained.
Without the Greek system, you can say good-bye to such activities as EKT's Monte Carlo, the Sphinx RazzMaTazz, the King's Casino'-Royale, the TEM-Club Halloween Blast, the Sphinx-Owls Blast, co-eds, spring weekends, cake-dates, novelty parties, final parties and the individual spontaneous get-togethers that spring up at every Greek house.
, Otterbein College is a community. And one of the strongest Jinks that ties this community together is the Greek system. A fraternity or sorority provides the backdrop for unifying groups of people with varying interests and ideas.
Without the Greek system, a music major and a Phys. Ed. major have little in common. But, with the Greeks, they can share a common interest and goal.
When we look beyond, to the "real world" past the Otterbein College sign, we see a world of diversified persons trying to cope -with a multitude of differences.
College is an educational experience-and most of the real learning comes outside of the classroom. The Greek system should continuf] to be instrumental in educating people with various backgrounds in cooperation and the development of healthy competition.
There is no shame in being a "GD/.,, The contributions ofe independents- to the life of this school is phenomenal. Greeks should respect the decision to remain indeptn

Guanciale Rises toChallenge As Starter
By Dan Hughes
When the 1980-81 men's varsity basketball season started, Dino Guanciale was listed as ae "challenger" for the guard slot for Otterbein. The junior from Newark Catholic had appeared in only 16 games in his first two season·s as a Cardinal, averaging just over two points a game.
But all that changed dramatically January 14 when Otterbein met Ohio Wesleyan. "When Ie walked into the gym that afternoon, Steve Johnston and Keithe Riggs told me that the coache wanted to see me," recalled Guanciale. When I got to his office, he told me that (junior forward) John Denen was in the hospital with appendicitis, and I'd be starting."
In true Hollywood fashion, Guanciale rose to the occasione that night, hitting eight of tene shots from the field and two of twoe from the free throw line for 18e points in his first varsity start ever,e a 93-74 Card win.
He has not slowed down sincee
then, either. In the four games he has started, Guancia_le has scored 102 points and has been honored as the OAC Player of the Week. He teams with conference leadinge scorer Ron Stewart to give thee Cards a devastating one-twoe scoring punch.
The closest anyone has come to stopping Guanciale is his teammate, Carl Weaver, who accidentally gave him a black eye and ae small crack in the bridge of his nose with a stray elbow in Saturday's win against Mount Union.
Guanciale, who is a businesse administration major, startede playing basketball in the fifthe grade. He attributes learning to ' shoot to watching pro and college games on television.
Just as in college, Guanciale did not start until late in his high school career at Newark Catholic.e
"I was the team's sixth man duringe my junior year," he said. "Thee five starters were all graduatinge seniors. so I just dedicated myself to working hard between my junior and senior years."e

Bookmeyer, from Grove City, Ohio, is now the Station Administrator.
"Lee Anne's responsibilitiese are to direct input and output of station mail, type any business for station activities, to organize station files and to post staff heads' office hours," said Janet Tressler, Station Manager.e Kathy Jenki'ns
Guanciale' s senior seasone should go down in history as one of the greatest tributes to sore muscles and perspiration as he scored a Central Ohio leading 28.8 pointse per game ·eand was named seconde team All-Ohio Class A guard.
When Guanciale came to Otterbein, he found himself right backe on the bench. "During my firste year here I only played at the ende of games when the varsity wase killing somebody," he said
As a sophomore, he began toe get more and more playing time as the season wore on. In the seasone finale, a crucial contest against Muskingum,- Guanciale saw ae great deal of action, giving hime encouragement going into thee 1981 season that has been the fulfillment of what for most of,us is just a fantasy. "It's not really the American dream or anything, but it is a goal that I've set for myself,"e ·ehe explained about his performance this season.
Cardinal fans must be hoping that he continues to set goals just like it.e
