American Renewal, Let's Make America Great Again, all part of the "new American spirit." Everywhere around us we have been enjoying a new feeling of national unity and hope for the future.
While we can't say much about his success or failure as a president since the man has only been in office for three months, Reagan at least has ha� the courage to take actions on areas such as the ailing economy. It is our hope Reagan will continue to move forward after his recovery with an even more firm,resolve in solving this nation's problems. And yet with the events of Monday we wonder what kind of America we are renewing.
If one is going to talk about a "renewed American spirit", something has to be done about the rising incidents of violent crime in our country. How do we expect other nations to respect us if we can not control ourselves. tie-the world was shocked. On Monday, another bullet

Along with Lennon's death last year, and a child-killer roaming the streets of Atlanta, the violence continues to swell across the country.
The United States can not .expect to regain a position of responsibility and respect around t'!e world if it (s not able to maintain domestic order.
Any talk of an "American Renewal" Program must not only be composed of a stable economic policy and consistency in our policies abroad, but must include ways of revamping our law-enforcement and, yes, even our fire-arms policies.
We are no great backers of "gun-control" simply because we endorse the freedom of choice for the individual to bear , arms. However, when that freedom of choice to bear arms becomes the will to use them on others; then action must be taken.
The responsibility of freedom is a heavy one; when it is abused it should be removed, or at least restrained.
It is our hope that the assassination attempt Monday will not dampen the budding spirit of renewal we have felt recently in our nation. The event was tragic and must not be forgotten; but-now we must move forward with an even more determined attitude of resolve for the future.
Hopefully, President Reagan will be able to completely recover and will join the nation in a stronger effort to renew the American spirit.
One final note: At publication time James Brady, White House press secretary, was still in critical condition from the wounds he received in the head. We as a campus join with the rest of the nation in praying for his full recovery.
We would especially like to thank the pep band for the great work they did in cheering us during the tournament.
Sincerely,
The basketball staff
Dear Editor, What happened to the complaints about there being too much coverage in the T & C? It is amazing to me that the students were so upset with the coverage the cross country team received for winning the OAC championship, yet there has been no negative response toward the basketball coverage.
Staff Changes Made
Along with Spring cleaning comes a few changes in the editorial staff of the Tan and Cardinal.
Co-editors have been named to the Feature department. Junior Dan Hughes and sophomore Greg Stemm will share the responsibilities of the Feature and Arts pages of the T & C.
Both men have been reassigned from other editorial positions. Hughes had been serving as Sports Editor since the beginning of Winter term.
Stemm was in charge or circulation and distribution of the T & C.
Sophomore Dave Graham will takeover as Sports Editor. He will be in charge of overseeing the daily operation of the sports depanment.
Graham spent the 11'.;;r,ter ter� reporting on the basketball 'team's drive toward the NCAA champions:, ip
someone does not deserve credit than when they do deserve praise?
It is obvious that the school will bend over backwards to get fans to basketball games all over the country while yet those same fans will go out of their way to say the cross country team did not deserve the ink they goteven if they did win a championship on a site 15 minutes from the campus. The basketball team was good and deserves the coverage. Yet, was the cross country team so undeserving?

Tanning Guide
Offered to RoastSrs
By Bob Bronze
Greetings and welcome to yet another fun-filled spring term at Otterbein Summer Camp (er, ut, College, that is). We at the Tan and Cardinal feel it is our duty as a student newspaper to keep the student informed with information that is timely and important to campus life. So with that in mind, we bring you the "Official Tan a;.d Cardinal Guide to Sunbathing."
To have a truly enjoyable spring term, one must first set his priorities. Number one on the list for Otterbeiners should be to get a good suntan at all costs. This means a no-holdsbarred, kamikazee appronch to sunbathing.
The prudent sun worshipper is always equipped with several never-fail excuses for getting out of afternoon classes. Some excuses that have stood the test of time are "I have a job interview" (especially effective for seniors), I have a doctor's appointment'' (good only once or twice a term), and "My goldfish got off his leash and was run over by a truck so I can't possibly come to class for several days until the funeral arrangements are taken care of" (for use with only the most compassionate instructors).
Now that you have successfully gotten excused from your afternoon class, it is time to prepare to hit the beach. Proper attire is anything that ·eyou can get away with and not beearrested for ·indecent exposure. Youe now have the pleasant task of choosing one of Otterbein's most famouse beaches which include Davis Beach,e Engle Beach or Clements Beach.e

D.ear Acme Rubber Co.,e
Enclosed in the large brown box ise one of our products that I regret has become damaged. I place no fault in the production of your no. 27 item, Suzy, the wonder sheep. The damage was brought on by my careless mistreatment of the product. This is what happened.
It was another Friday night. and like usual, I failed miserably in the search of female companionship. Hurling me in total despair, I roamed my home in search of my Uno deck. picking a throw rug from off the floor, I was soon totally depressed when I smelled the nice door stop that my top poodle had adepos ited. Desperately needing something to vent my frustrations, I pulled Suzy, the wonder sheep, down from my closet shelf and began inflating her. To achieve the proper effect, I placed straw on the living room floor, taped lamb chops to my chest, and donned a shepherd's outfit. While rubbing Suzy with the necessary love oils, I became overzealous in burst centration preciate replace I sheep
Once you have selected your favorite Otterbein beach, it is time to break out the suntan lotion and go to workand we do mean work! The Otterbein sun freak has certain obstacles to battle that the Floridian beach bum does not. First, beware not to lay in a spot that is in plain view of the class that you are skipping'. (This can pose problems the next time you try to get excused from that class). Second, be careful to periodically scrape off the little black bugs and gnats that become stuck in your suntan lotion because this will cause a "spotting" effect. Finally, if you're a female who has left her top untied to eliminate unnecessary tan. lines, beware of guys bearing water balloons. (Need we say more?)
So there you have it sun worship.pers-the "Official Tan and Cardinal
Guide to Sunbathing." Our best wishes as you enter the 'Tanning
Zone!"

Student Teaching in England Available
How would you like to live in Wimbledon and do your student teaching in England? It may be possi_ble.
Otterbein College has an agreement with Southlands College, a Methodist institution in Wimbledon, England, for student teachers to live in Southlands' residence halls and to be supervised by Southlands College faculty.
Southlands is a college of about 800 students with a strong teacher education program. The college is located in Wimbledon, a southwest London suburb. Wimbledon is known, of course, as the setting for some highly contested tennis matches.
Students selected for this program will spend twelve weeks in England. There will be two weeks of orientation to British education in September followed by ten weeks of student teaching ending early in December.
Participating students will pay the regular Otterbein College comprehensive fee plus the usual student teaching fee ($113 in 1980-81) and their transportation costs. Of course, if the student is receiving financial aid, it will apply to this program. Otterbein College will pay Southlands College all charges for room, board and instruction except a L 10 breakage fee which is refundable if there are no claims.
The teaching assignment will be in primary, middle or high schools in the Wimbledon area.
The program is open to students in all teaching areas listed as first or primary teaching fields. A minimum grade average of 3.000 is required.
For additional information see Dr. Chester Addington. Application forms are available in the Education Office, Towers Hall, Room 13.

SPRING SPORTS PREVIEW
Men's Track
The men's track team has its sights set on second place at the outdoor conference championship, according to head coach Porter Miller.
"Otterbein has never finished as high as second," Miller said. "Baldwin-Wallace (defending champion and indoor conference winner) is awesome. We want to move up from third place."
Spring Schedules - See Page 6
.Otterbein finished third in the indoor champion�hips behind B-W and Mount Union. At the outdoor championships last year Otterbein placed third.
"We should be stronger outdoors than indoors," Miller said. He cited more distance events as one of the reasons.
"The distances from 800 meters up are our strong point." said Miller. "That's because we won the cross country championship. With the addition of the steeplechase and 10,000 meters outdoors we should be in good shape."
Miller also said the javelin should help the Otters score enough points to overtake Mount Union. Miller feels the shot put and pole vault are also strong suits.
The Otters· strongest event may be the 400 meter hurdles. Senior Wayne Woodruff returns as the only Otter to win an OAC Championship as well as being the sole NCAA qualifier.
Miller. who has compiled a 49-5 dual meet record in his five years as coach, hopes to see more conference champions this year. He also is looking for more national qualifiers and eventual all-Americans.
The key meets this year, according to Miller. are the conference relays (at Otterbein April 11). at B-W April 15 and the championship (May 8 and 9 at B-W).
I
Women's Track
The women's track season opens Tuesday with a home meet. First-year coach Barbara Belek will have the task of niolding a relatively inexperienced squad into competition readiness.
One aspect in her favor is that the turnout for women's track has been the best in years. Often in the past the squad has relied heavily on a few individuals to carry the load for the team.
Belek. a former basketball and track coach at Fairfield Union High School, believes the key to resurgence in the track program is through goal setting for the women. Once the women have set individual goals she believes the team goals will follow.
Key meets include OAISW meet at Wooster (May 9) and the Otterbein Invitational (May 15).
Women's Tennis
The women's tennis squad has high hopes of advancing as a team to the regional tournament in May. Last year's team enjoyed a record of 8-3 and a bid to the state tournament.
However, the only member of the squad to make it to the regionals, was then-freshman Lou Slater. This year's team has the talent to go as a group.
In addition to Slater returning, four other members will be back. The Cards lost one player through graduation but picked up one transfer student.
JoAnn Tyler will be coaching the team as they open the season today with an away meet with Capital.. The first home meet is Monday (3 p.m.) with Mt. Vernon Nazarene College.
The satellite tournament will be May 1 and 2 at Denison. The state tournament is set for May 7. 8 and 9 at Wooster.
Softball
A good nucleus is the strong point for the softball team as they try to improve on last season's 8-12 mark.
First-year coach Amy Riddle will have nine returnees among the 14 players who will start the season.
Riddle said the addition of a strong freshman class will make the Cards' propsects for advancing to the national slo-pitch tournament in North Carolina a distinct possibility.
"We want to win more games than last year and see improvement in the team," Riddle said. "We did well in the state tournament last year (a 2-2 record) and if we win the state this year we'll go straight to the nationals. We're shooting for North Carolina."
Riddle said the Cards' outfield will be "tough to beat." "We have·good throwers and they're quick," Riddle said.
,
Riddle sees the Cards biggest problem in the early going as a lack of time in preseason to work on the fundamentals. She feels, however, that the experience factor will help the team make up for lost time.
The Cards get an early season test today as they host Wittenberg in a doubleheader (4 p.m.). Riddle said Wittenberg will be one of the top teams in the state. She said other teams to watch are Capital. Wilmington and defending state champion Baldwin-Wallace.
Orientation Help Needed
Applications are now being accepted in the Student Personnel Office for students wanting to assist in the 1981 summer orientatior;i programs.
Around 16 to 20 students will be needed.· Scheduled orientation dates are July 24-25, August 14-15. and September 10-11. Each orientation starts at 11 a.m. the first day and ends around 4 p.m. the second day. Students selected to help with the orientations wi II be paid $18 a session and given a room and four meals.
lnterestJd students must return their applications to the Student Personnel Office by Thursday, April 30.
Baseball
The 1981 Otterbein varsity baseball team began the season in Florida in March and has not only shown some of the offensive fireworks that it has been known for in the past few season, but has also added airtight pitching and defense.
The Cards, 10-6 this season, errupted for 23 hits in an 18-0 blasting of Principia College, as well as beating Eatern Illinois 8-5 and Ripon College (Wisc.) 9-0. In addition, the Cards gave NCAA Division One power Florida St. all it could handle in 8-11 and 5-9 losses.
The team has hit a blistering .331 while adding 13 homeruns. A pleasant surprise for coach Dick Fishbaugh's Cards has been the jelling of a formerly shakey pitching staff. Junior college transfer Paul Novak and Jeff Harper lead the staff with 3-0 and 3-1 records.· Don Atwell follows with a 2-1 record, including the shutout against Ripon. The best performance belongs to Jim Young who threw an 11-0 no-hitter against Sewanee.
Infield and outfield play has been good for the Cards. The outfield of Randy Pontius, Don Good, and Jim Hoyle was a question mark before the season, but the inexperienced trio has provided tight defense with some circus catches. In the infield, soph. Bret Brownfield has been a solid performer at shortstop.
The team now turns toward the conference season. Expected to challenge for the conference crown are Marietta, Wooster, and Capital.
Men's Tennis
The 1981 Cardinal men's tennis team begins its season with an almost completely different squad from the one that took to the courts in 1980. New coach Phil Marrow is in his first week as coach of the team. which returns only one player from last year's squad.
Marrow. who will also be an assistant football coach this fall. came from Ohio Wesleyan when former Otterbein coach Bill Hillier resigned in late March due to financial reasons.
The lone returnee from last year's squad is Jeff Jones. a Westerville native, who moves up from sixth position in singles to first. "He moves • well. He's the most fluid player on the team," according to Marrow. He also added that Jones volleys well.
Greg Ocke, a six-foot, three-inch transfer from Bowling Green, is ranked second and teams with Jones in doubles. "Greg's our most powerful server," says Marrow. "He has good leverage and range."
Sophomore Dave Fox may be able to challenge for the top spot before the season ends. Fox moves well and has good ground strokes. Mark Holm. who teams with Fox in doubles, combines hard hitting with smooth ground strokes.
Lefthander Dan Pohl and sophomore Joe Shoopman team up for the third doubles pair. Each is in his first year of play. Marrow calls both hard workers who will improve over the season.
