Editor Fires Closing Shots .
It's that time of year again when the editor of the T&C makes his farewell address, for lack of a better description. In keeping with my philosophy that everyone should have the right to respond I have decided to give my final editorial with still another issue to be published. In this manner, those who wish to comment, pro or con, may do so-this year.
The staff promised changes this year and we delivered. I feel the news content of the newspaper was the best in the four years that I have been at Otterbein. We were by no means perfect and sometimes, unfortunately, we were not always accurate. But, I see no reason to apologize for any of the content which went into the paper this year.
The entire T&C staff must be credited with the improvements in the paper. I wrote in the first editorial of the year that "a refreshing change will be that the staff for the newspaper will not only be larger in quantity but also better in quality. ,,
Those who worked in the T&C this year performed better than I could ever imagined. It is encouraging to turn the reins over to Dan Hughes with a large staff returning for next year. The future of the paper can only be positive. I remember starting the school year with myself and two others as the only staff members who had worked on the T &C. Today we have over 20 people who are willing to make sure the T&C is the student newspaper of Otterbein College.
The one person who has held together the bunch of loonies who work on the paper is our adviser Jim Gorman. He has put more hours into bettering our product than can be imagined. He was always there to give us a lift when the times were rough during fall term. He was not above playing the devil's advocate to ensure that all sides of.the.story were probably presented.
There have been other facuity members who have been very helpful. On the other hand, there are a few who are real jerks. Those who would send unsigned comments about the paper to Gorman proved that until the bad apples are disposed of the educational tree suffers as a whole.
The ignorant few, however, are overshadowed by the numerous facuity and administration members who have gone out of their way to help the T&C this year. We appreciate the input the faculty has given us. I hope that next year there will be more facuity opinions and comments expressed in the paper through columns, editorials and letters. Sometimes we are guilty of overlooking the valuable contribution that the faculty can make to the paper. "Cover to Cover", a review of books by facuity members, is a positive step for the T&C.
The administration from President Kerr on down were very supportive in our efforts this year. It is unfortunate that sometimes we seemed to be the last people on campus to know things. With a better network of communications next year I hope the college gives us the respect as a news source that we have earned this year.
A few comments on closing. You won't get rid of me just yet. I will be back next fall with a November graduation in sight. I hope to make the transition of staffs much smoother than the one I experienced. Already, Hughes and his staff have taken over my responsibilities of the paper - leaving me to have an early case of senioritis.
It is encouraging to see the work Bob Gaw: Mary Pembroke and the entire Campus Center staff have done to make the Campus Center a mecca of activity.
It is discouraging to receive so few letters this year. I can only assume the community condones everything that goes into the paper each week.
Finally, I would like to thank all the staff members who worked until 4 a.m. on Wednesdays. Someday, when we are all safely away fr,om Otterbein's grip, we'll have to write about our experiences.
�cholars Honored At Convocation
The program for the Academic Convocation was altered slightly this week to allow for the performance of violinist Margarette Million. Million, a senior candidate for distinction, will 'oe 'the ,etn.uTeO mu�lc.o, pc1\v, 111c1 ·,n this year's convocation.
The remainder of the program, which will begin at 11 a.m. on Wednesday at Cowan Hall, remains as it was originally scheduled. The Wind Ensemble will provide processional music for the event, which was created to honor academic achievement. This year over 1 00 students are to receive awards.
The convocation was first held five years ago under the leadership of Dr. ·William Amy, who felt since recognition was given to athletes and others,e similar honors should be given to academic scholars.e
This year's program will feature several firsts. Faculty members will wear academic robes, and department chairpersons will present the awards. In the past tt,at duty had fallen to the academic dean.
A reception will be held on the lawn across from Cowan Hall following thee convocation for the first time. Thee reception will allow parents ande friends of award winners to meete President Kerr and Dean Bulthaup,e the Vice President of Academice Affairs.e
An assemblage led by Chris Ciampa will provide music, and Kelly Maurer will perform interpretative dancing. Maurer's performance will be improvisational. Punch will be provided by the food service. According to Dr. Harold Hancock, one of the event's organizers, the reception will be held "weather permitting." No plans are being made to move inside in case of inclement weather.·
Hancock says an improved turnout is expected over these in the past. Students will be excused from classes between 11 and one that day so they may attend.
Clarifying Retention
To the Editor:
I feel that it is important to clanry the purpose of the Retention Committee. The Committee was established to study the issue of student I attrition and to recommend oossib(e actions which could increase the proportion of students who remain at Otterbein for a four-year period. We are not dealing with the issue of declining enrollment. In fact, � am not certain that Otterbein has declining enrollment. Essentially, the Committee is attempting to deal with an age-old problem which exists at most colleges - students who begin at Otterbein but who fail to complete a degree program at our institution. I would appreciate it if you would share this information with the college community. Thank-you.
Sincerely, Harriet

Vance Named Head of Integrative Studies Dept.
By Greg Stemm
"I think the I.S. Department has been a creative,unique program,and I have a very. positive attitude toward the program.
Dr. Sylvia Vance,the recently appointed chairperson of the Integrative Studies Department,has an optimistic outlook for the program in the coming year.Vance will assume the position at the beginning ofethe 1981-82 school year.
Vance has a special interest in Otterbein as she received her B.A. from the school in 1947.Vance continued her education by earning both a M.A.and Ph.D. in French Literature from Ohio State. She also holds a minor in modern European history.
Vance said she taught some here at Otterbein her senior year of college, although she did not begin to teach at the college on a more permanent basis until 1961. At that time she began to teach French on a part-time basis only.
During the next 15 years Vance took on more full time responsibilities as her children matured and pressures of mothering became less demanding. Five or six years ago,Vance began to teach not only French,but European history as well-a position she says she enjoys immensely.
The appointment of chairperson of the I.S. Department comes directly from the presidency.Vance has had some experience working with the
Vance pointed out that the chairperson of the department works closely with an advisory board which she herself has been a part of for the last several years.
"The advisory board is responsible for the direction of the department-I antIcIpate working very closely with that committee," said Vance.
In lookin·g over her goals for the coming year,Vance said she intends to use many of the ideas which were brought up in a recent day-long workshop where instructors in the Integrative Studies department got together and talked about goals for the program.The workshop was held May 14,which is why your I.S.class was cancelled two weeks ago.
"(May 14 was) a day when the I.S.people either from this year or nexte year got together and talked aboute what the program entailed.There aree many fine instructors in the program,e and there were many fine ideas expressed that day," said Vance.e
While using those ideas, Vance said that her primary responsibilities would be ones of co-ordinating the workings of the I.S.program-a program which crosses traditional departmental lines.It is Vance's job to make sure that the interdepartmental workings run smoothly.
Vance also said she would be in charge of some of the "most creative parts of the program." That would include tying classes into films, lectures, olavs musicals and other activities on campus.
The new position will have some time constraints admits Vance, although she feels that through a process of self-examination this year she will be better able to set priorities and "find the timee for her new responsibilities.
Next year,for an example,Vance says that she has been serving on the personnel committee for the past several years-a position she will renounce due to time limitations next year.
"It does not put pressures on my schedule of course but it is certainly the kind of program where I have a great deal of interest," said Vance.
WOBN Frequency

"full color" sound radio station is in for more of a c�ange than just a new slogan
Dr. James Grissinger,adviser to the radio station,explained that the station has been using consulting engineers to find a new commercial frequency.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Worth ington Christian Schools have applied for the 91. frequency to make it a Class A_ " station. The Worthington Christian Schools have priority because oi their
Vance said she feels very strongly that the required courses at Otterbein should receive the highest priority from both the I.S. Department and the college as a whole.
"I feel the courses which the college requires need the best teaching we can provide," stressed Vance. In some closing thoughts, Vance said that she was in deep appreciation for the fine work done by the out-going chairperson of the department.
"I want to express my appreciation to Dr.William Hamilton in the leadership he has shown in developing the program," said Vance:
Change Imminent
aspirations for the 91.5 frequency. At first, the staff of WOBN considered going to 100 watts,but difficulties existed with FCC requirements.
So far three frequencies have been selected, but a further engineering study is necessary to find out if one or more of the frequencies will be suitable for WOBN.
The change to a commercial band will have to be made by July 1982.
WOBN plans to use the same trans-, mitter and antenna that it already owns with a few adjustments.

Otterbein's first trip to the NCAA Division Ill regionals might not have brought home the West regional crown, but it did provide plenty of exciting baseball. The Cards returned to Westerville with a 2-2 record in the tournament, losing to tourney champ and host school Oshkosh (Wisconsin).
On Wednesday, May 20, Otterbein played its first game in the losers bracket after being sent there the previous day by St. Olaf of Minnesota. The Otters' foe was Buena Vista College of Iowa. Against Buena Vista, the Card offense went to work getting 10 runs to B-V's 7. The Otters collected 11 hits and committed one error. Buena Vista had 12 hits, but had a fatal eight errors. Don Atwell, running his record to 7-3, was the winning pitcher. Buena Vista bowed out of the tourney with a 24-15 record.
The next day, the Cards beat Claremont-Mudd College of California 6-5 in 11 innings in probably the most exciting game of the entire tourney.
The Cards started the scoring_in the third inning when Don Good reached on an error. Third baseman Dave Nespeca then singled to set up a three-run homer by Lee Cooperrider.
The top of the eleventh saw Nespeca start things off by reaching base on an error. Cooperrider was next up and he was intentionally walked Grundtisch then delivered a double to center to score both Nespeca and Cooperrider to enter the bottom of the inning leading 6-4. Claremont-Mudd led off its half L the inning with a pair of singles followed by a sacrifice fly to draw within one run of the Otters, 6-5. Claremont then proceeded to load the bases with only one out. It was at this point that third baseman Nespeca made the play of the day by backhanding a sharp grounder, stepping on third and throwing on to first to complete the double play and end the game. Jeff Harper was the winning,Otter hurler, upping his season mark to 7-4. The Clar emont-Mudd victory moved Otterbein into the semi-finals against Oshkosh. The Cards were over-powered by Oshkosh 8-3 as the hosts scored early and often. The first inning was the downfall of the Cards as the first two batters walked, followed by a three-run blast by Oshkosh's Jeff Karl, the first of two homers for Karl in the game. The winning pitcher was Craig Henderson who ran his record to 11-0.
