Trash Can' Controversy
By Greg Stemm
Otterbein seems to be having its own mini-version of Watergate brewing on the upper floor of Mayne Hall. It may not be as big as the real thing, but the cover-up _and confusion on fourth floor is growing.
The controversy centers around payment'tor damage caused by a trash can striking a car af.ter being thrown from Mayne the night of the first Wittenberg game (Jan. 28).
Since no one has claimed responsibilit¥, the entire 96 dollars will be divided among all residents on fourth floor.
Dave Peters, Associate Dean of Student Development, said the bill worked out to about three dollars per person. Peters said the three do/Lars
would be taken directly from the $50 damage deposit of each resident.
' Last week a notice of this was posted on the floor, with the warning that the person re�ponsible for the damage would have one week to come forward.
The one week is now up and the students are starting to get upset about the. matter.·
"It's not the amount we're concerned about-it's onlyethree·dollarsit'.s the principle of the thing-I don't think we should pay for other people's damage," said Greg Ocke, a resident of fourth floor.
Adding to the problems of the floor is that apparently some of the resi-

dents know who is responsible, but are unwilling to come fQrward with the information.
Tom Buchanan, Head Resident for Mayne, said he received an anonymous letter saying who was responsible. B·uchanan also said he. has talked with students who say they know who the guilty party is but are reluctant to speak-out.
"People actually saw who did it, but are hesitant to come forward I get really mad when people will tell me 'I know who did it,' but I won't 'rag' on them," said Buchanan.
One resident said that he would come forward, but he heard the information from another student. The other student had told him the culprit admitted gu;lt. But th1 resident ex pressed concern that this was just third-hand information.
Several other residents said they would like to appeal a decision to charge the entire floor. Such an appeal could be made to Peters or direct-
ly to Dean Van Sant.However, it would be difficult to back-up if some students know who is guilty.
"I don't think it's right, I think we should tell our side of the story it's going to be hard since I.know who did it," said one resident who said he also gained the information third-handed.
Joe Shoopman, one of the RA's on fourth floor, said he thinks if residents know who is responsible they should pressure the individual to confess.
"I think the residents should put peer pressure on the. person if it was me; I would't want to pay for someone having a good time throwing a trash can out of the window," said Shoopman.
Unless the responsible party comes forward or more substantial evidence is presented, it appears that fourth floor residents will share the bill with little hope of an appeal.
"I encourage residents to face up to ·the situation," said Buchanan.e
• Congratulations Reynolds OAC's-
Coach of the· Year
8y Dave Graham
"It's nice to have kids to win for you," commented Otterbein cage coact;i Dick Reynolds on his• selection ·eas the Ohio Athletic Conference'se coach of ,the year.e
Reynolds, who guided his club to an OAC regular season co-championship and a NCAA regional crown, became Otterbein's winningest , basketball coach in the 1980-81 season, compiling a 145-84 record to date.
The former 12 letter winner at Otterbein won the honor for the third time in the last six seasons.Reynolds, in his ninth year at the helm of the Otters, started the season picked no higher than sixth in the conference.
Reynolds wasn't the only one collecting OAC honors for Otterbein. Sophomore guard Ron Stewart earned
a spot on -the all-conference starting team.The New Albany native led the OAC in scoring with a 22 point per game rate.
,,
Senior center Tom Dill of Westerville Sou_th, and senior Steve Johnston from Grove City gained honorable mention acclaim.
Wittenberg's Tyrone Curtis won the conference's Mike G�egory award for the league's most valuable p1ayer.
Coach Reynolds was disappointed about the OAC selections, feeling that the Cardinals had several other players capable of making the all-conference list. Junior forwards Dino ·eGuanciale and John Denen, alonge with junior guard Jeff Kessler weree not mentioned by the OAC.e
What About Us?
It is a shame that more stucjents can't share the excit�ment of Otterbein's basketball conquests. The team IS winning and nobody gives a damn about the students. Card 'a/lowers received a shock last we�k when t�e school was only alloted 250 tickets for the Reg,onals at Wittenberg. For Saturday's game the number �f students from Otterbein were less than a fifth of the total ticket a/lowment. The question should be raised as to who the games are really being played for.
If fans are as upset as we are about the overall ticket distribution at Wittenberg, we suggest a letter t? the NCAA offices voicing opposition to Wittenberg's unfa,r homecourt advantage during the tournament.
The address is; NCAA, clo Ralph McFJ/len - Ass1sta:7t Director of Championship, P. 0. Box 1906, Shawnee Mission, Kansas, 66222.
As for this Saturday's game, the attitude seems to be one of let the students find their own way to the game. M,fl�be there is too much emphasis on the game with finals commg up. However, that still hasn't stopped many members of the administration from going.
Somehow, the students have gotten lost in the shuffle to please the alumni (aftera/1 they give the college-,bi[! buc�s). For once it would be nice to see the students given f,rst consideration.

Food Management Co-op To Begin Spring Term
By Joy Grandstaff
Frank Mitchell and Eleanor Roman have received permission from Saga Food Co. to establish a Food Management Co-op.
This co-op experience will take place in the Nationwide Building in Columbus at the Nationwide Employee Cafeteria which serves 3000 people per meal, said Roman.
The student will be receiving the same management training offered to all management trainees with Saga Food Co .• Roman said.
According to Roman, the positions will start being filled in the spring of 1981.
Students interested in applying should have Home Economics (food concentration) and business backgrounds, Roman said.
Stude_nts should also have taken the Basic Foods course (Home Ee. 23), she said. Roman will be offering the
course as � special dass this spring for those interested in the co-op.
The course will include proper food selection, purchasing, preparation and service, Roman said. Students do not have to be Home Economics majors or interested in the co-op to take the class since it will be designed to help anyone who wants to gain an appreciation of good nutrition as it relates to proper food selection and preparation, Roman said.
The class will consist of two onehour lectures and two two-hour labs per week, ?aid Roman. The course will last five weeks and be worth three quarter hours of credit.
·e To sign up for this class, students should contact Eleanor Roman ate Suite 222 of the Science Building at Extension 416 or 316 before spring break and submit a tentative schedule for spring term. Class times are toe be arranged.e
Students See Fashion World
By Joy Grandstaff
Eleven Otterbein students and one faculty adviser will be spending part of their spring break in New York City.
These women from the Home Economics Department will be touring the fashion industry from the factories to the retail stores.
According to faculty adviser Jean Spero,·e the tour "gives Home Economics students with a_ concentration in Fashion Merchandising a chance to see the industry as it really is, from the first sketch to the final retail outlet."
The tour will include visits to the \ garment factories, fashion schools, museum costume collections, major
showrooms, seminar with a buyer, resident buying offices. Simplicity Pattern, plus extensive comparison shopping, Spero said.
· The eleven students: Jennie Cundiff, Brenda Fairchild, Jean Giambri, Debbie Hillis, Jun€/ Kidd, Marcia Mason, Molly McCray, Crystal Noble, Nancy Sherk, Nancy Cloan and Becky Sorrell, will receive one-half unit of credit for the tour by completing an individual project related to the trip.
The group will be going to two plays and visiting major sightseeing stops during free time, said Spero.
The group will leave Columbus the morning of March 23 and return the evening of March 28.

Otterbein's winning edge came from the foul line as they made 28 of 38 for a .737 percentage. The Cards were 22 of 30 in the second half alone.. Wittenberg hit on 16 �of 24 from the line for a .667 percentage.
Wittenberg won the board battle grabbing 37 rebounds _to Otterbein's 27.e The Tigers' Gilbert hauled in ae game high 12 rebounds. Dill had seven and Stewart six to pace the Cardinals.
The Otters had 16 turnovers to the Tigers' 14 miscues.
Junior forward John Denen, who transfered from Middle Tennessee State, put it best when he said, "When I came here, promised coach Reynolds three things: an OAC championship, to play in front of packed houses, and to win a national championship." Well, the Cardinals couldn't quite wrap up the Ohio Conference tou�ne:y, but they have filled up many gymnasiums and are one of only eight teams left in the country in the NCAA championship race.

OSU Graduate Student Manages. CC Programs
By Dave Eisnaugle
If the Campus Center seems to generate more student involvement that in previous years, the credit must partially go to Jeanne Talley, the new Operations and Program Manager for the facility
Tal1ey, currently enrolled in graduate school at Ohio State University, is in Special Services, one area of social work. Special Services handles many avenues such as working in residence halls, financial aid and programming.
Talley ,is working at Otterbein through an internship from a graduate degree program at O.S.U., called the Student Personnel Assistant Program. She began her nine-month internship in September and will complete it by June.
The ·responsibilities of the Operations and Program Manager entails tasks such as scheduling group meetings in the conference rooms, maintaining building maintenance, supervising the student work-study workers, and assisting in Campus Center events.
Talley was nervous and reluctant about coming to work in a strange environment; so things did not begin smoothly. "The first two wee�s of school were hectic," she confessed, "with meeting new people and learning new things."
She believes that the Campus Center 1s laid out well for inspiring student interest, "but don't know what the students' needs are," she
capacity. "The fault should not be placed upon the students," Talley admits. "I don't hear students saying that they are bored, but that they are busy."
Talley would like to create programs which ask for no committment from the student. A student could spend a few minutes, observing particular events. "I would like to offer more exposure for the talent Otterbein has," says Talley, "such as the Concert Choir, Opus Zero and the Razz Band."
Looking back at her life, experience shows that Jeanne did not hide herself away from the community, but became an integral part of it. Living in Columbus all of her life, she has had many options for areas of involvement.
She involved herself with many service organizations such as being president of the P.T.A. and Director of Religious Equcation at the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Other organizations Jeanne participated in include the Auxiliary to Children's Hospital, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
Entering Ohio State her freshman year, Jeanne first declared her major as Education because she.always worshipped her teachers in school. After her freshman year, she left college in order to raise a family.
Returning back to Ohio State, she then declared her major as Special Services because all of her organizational experiences had "given her an explained. One area of buiding im

Poet Oliver Goal to Make Life Memorable
By Sue Shipe
A poet must transcend particulars and make life's experiences memorable for all people, according to Cleveland-born poet Mary Oliver.
Oliver performed a reading of her poetry Monday in the Battelle Fine Arts building as part of Otterbein's Artists Series. Sh·e also spoke to students in the Campus Center main lounge, arid lunched with the English faculty.
Oliver believes that poetry belongse in people's lives. She said it is as basic as somebody saying "hello" to somebody else in the morning. However, since the media is so explosive today, she writes many fast poems of 36 lines to catch readers' attention.
MusicFest Auditions Set
Oliver further explained that she carries a notebook around all day because something is lost in reflection. She usually writes down an entire poem in one day, but then revises it for weeks, often taking about six months to complete one poem.
Thi_s week, one of Oliver's poems, "First Snow," will appear in the New Yorker magazine. Her other works include three full-length books of poetry. "No Voyage and Other Poems," "The River Styx, Ohio", and "Twelve Moons," and two chapbooks, "The Night Traveler" and "Sleeping in the Forest."
Most of her work deals with nature, but she feels her next book will be a balance, "The landscapes have people in them," she explained.

Riddle Looks to Next Year
By Joni Leeth
The season is over. The pressure is off. So, how does Amy Riddle feel now that her first year as women's basketball coach at Otterbein has ended?
"I can't say enough about the team. We all learned a lot about each other and we learned together," she said.
The Cardinals finished their season with six wins and 13 losses. "There were times when things looked pretty miserable for us, and it was especially a shame that we lost our last game of the season because that sort of ended things on a sour note," Riddle said, but added, ··our attitude was good through it all."
She said she expects most of this year's players to return to the squad next year and added that they are al- ready excited about playing next season.
Riddle noted that the team "was adjusting to one another and things were just beginning to click at the end of the season, so we'll be ready to take up where we left off when we get together again."
She said she will also be looking closely at high schools this year for some good freshmen to join the squad. We really need height," she added.
She said she hopes for more support from fans next year, adding that "that really helps to make a team a winner when you know you have a crowd supporting you."
As for now, Riddle said she and her returning players have a long-range goal in mind. "We will be working to prove that Otterbein is not a team to overlook in the future."
Rio Grande Beats Otters In Satellite Tourney Play
By Joni Leeth
Otterbein's women's basketball team lost its second round in the Sate I-· lite Tournament February 26 to topseeded host Rio Grande, 94-78.
"They were hot all over the place and their fast break JUSt killed us."
Coach Amy Riddle said.
The Cardinals shot 37 percent·tor the game while Rio shot 50 percent.
Riddle said her squad had a tough
time stopping Rio players Poyvell and Groves. "They had their passes underneath down to a science. But, Beth Slater did a nice job for us defensively in stopping Powell who was faster than we could believe," she said.
Junior Vicki Hartsough led the squad with 18 points, while freshman Kay Lucas added 15
The Cardinals got into foul trouble in the first half as Rio went to the foul
line 2.1 times while Otterbein went only seven.
Riddle said she was pleased with the overall performance of tier squad in the game. "We played a good gamt'l but they played a great one. It's as simple as that."
