Will ·Assist Ohio Private Colleges Senate Bill-
An opportunity for· students at Ohio's independent colleges and universities to share in state subsidies for higher education could be provided by the passage of Senate Bill 232 known as the Student Choice Grants Bill.
According to the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Ohio (AICUO), the state currently spends about $2000 annually to subsidize each student attending a stateassisted institution. This money is automatically given out regardless of financial need.
Students attending independent schools not only lack this subsidy but also pay a higher tuition. "The cost of an independent college education can be a barrier to a student's free choice
of the education best suited 'to his or her needs," says Dr. Thomas J. Kerr, IV, president of Otterbein College.
"The diversity oLthe dual system of higher education, comprising both public and independent schools, provides the people of Ohio with in.creased access to and choice of higher education," says Dr. Kerr. "The importance of continuing this system must be recognized. When the public and private sectors are well-balanced, excellence is demanded of both," he says:
According to Dr. Kerr, the Student Choice Grants Bill would eliminate the discrimination against the independent school by providing every qualified Ohio undergraduate with a public educational grant regardless of the institution attended.
Dr. Kerr also notes that the passage of the bill would limit grants to students attending independent Ohio •tcolleges to one half the dolla� value oft the per student subsidy paid to publict sector students each year. This would represent a 50% savings to Ohio taxpayers.t
Dr. Kerr points out that the Studentt Choice Grants Bill was introduced recently by Senator StanleyJ. Aronoff (R-Cinn.) as an authorization bill.
"Although this bill does not appropriate state funds," says Dr. Kerr,t "it is the first step toward changing the current public grants policy."t
According to Dr. Philip H. Jorda�t Jr., chairman of AICUO and presidentt of Kenyon College, the state of Ohiot would benefit economically by thet ·tpassage of Senate Bill 232. A recent
economic impact report prepared by AICUO concludes that the 41 member institutions of AICUO contribute $3 billion annually to Ohio's economy.
The economic loss to the state would be tremendous, if the independent schools were forced to close and their students had to be absorbed into state-assisted institutions, Dr. Jordan points out.
The member institutions of AICUO enroll approximately 56,000 full-time undergraduate students of whom 66% are Ohio residents.

Campus Food Service: ·. Behind The Scenes
by Desiree Shannon
Scenario #1 at the Campus Center:
"What's that?" the burly.-looking fellow asks, staring through the glass as if he were facing a killer tomato.
The girl on the other side of the panel looks quizzically at the young man and then at the "what" in question.
"I dor,'t know," she answers and. turning .to her partner on the serving line, asks "What do you call thfs stuff?"
,.El Ranchero," the partner blurts out.
· "It's 'El Ranchero'," the girl informse the· fellow with an air of confused authority.
Scenarios similar to this are not uncommon in the Otterbein dining complex, especially on weekends when most meals consist of left-overs ac;cumulated a day or two before.
'l tr:y to get rid of things within 48 hours, and I try _e to come back with it in a different form," says Art Green, director of food service operations at Otterbein.
"We try to rework the left-overs," he goes on, "because we hav� an obligation to spend the students' moneye wisely. We can't waste anything."e
But even Green admits that thesee efforts are not always successful.e
And if you listen to idle comme11tse around the dining hall you wouldhavee to agree with Green.e
·:This chicken leg is.so raw it lookse like it's going to get up and walk,"e quips one resident student as shee stabs her blushing drumstick. It bleedse a little, looking as if it could do a fewe things if it were attached to other chicken parts being served.e
'They could do better than this," complains another student. "We pay too much for this stuff."
Gripes like these have become · more common in the last two terms.
"It wasn't so bad fall ter�:· says the girl who made the comment about the chicken. "but they're cutting back too much on stuff. This is the second or third time this week we've had chicken. and it isn't even cooked right. half the time."
If the results of a formal survey conducted by Bob Gatti, director of campus center activities, are a valid barometer of. student opinion about food service, it would seem comments like the ones above are just knee-jerk responses that come as a result of the innate distaste that people who attend schools, camps and colleges have for their institution's food.
"The ·results were unexpectedly high," says Gatti of student response to the survey, which dealt in areas such as variety and appearance of food, quality of service and courtesy of employees.
Students were asked to rate these qualities as being excellent. good, fair, poor, or very poor; a total of 680 votes fell under the "fair" category for the different area, compared with ·a 166 total under the "poor" category:
The fact that student complaints have increased since fall term may be a sign that.e the survey is outdated.
Green admits that certain members of his staff have questionable standards of cleanliness and courtesy "But we ma�e an attempt to control things like that," he adds. One method of control he uses is to keep the chan-
nels of management/employee ,communications open by having weekly meetings.
Green said he makes sure his 1 0 full-time employees and the students who work the various shifts wash their hands before handling food. He says they are also required to wear gloves and hair nets or bandanas.
'We did not do as well as I would've liked iri the _e area of sanitation," he said. He said the major problem was keep- · ing the floor in the kitchen and dining areas clean.
Woodrow R. Macke, Otterbein's business manager, said that he personally was unhappy with the appearance of the _floors around the dining complex.
He said that the major causes of the food service's sanitation woes were a. forced cut-back in the full-time staff and a lack of preparation before the beginning of the school-year.
A federal law that went into effect last January boosted the required minimum wage to $3.35 an hour, forcing the food service to cut back on personnel. The remaining staff had to be concentrated in the are.a of food preparation.
The gap in full-time personnel has mostly been filled by Otterbein students working part-time. The students are paid the minimum wage just like their full-time counterparts, but the money goes back into the college, mainly in the form of partially subsidized work-study wages.

He said that the Hallmark Management Corporation, the company that oversees the food service at Otterbein, neglected to channel service funds for floor cleaning in an effort to reduce expenses.
To correct the problem, Macke and President Kerr proposed that a private cleaning firm be hired to assure that floors were kept clean.
Macke admitted that the cleaning service costs twice as much as using regular personnel to do the cleanig, and that the extra money will have to come from students' meal tickets (the Hallmark • Corporation does not currently allocate any of the fo<:>d service budget for floor cleaning)
'We think it's worth it, though," added Macke. "A dirty dining room is very unappetizing."
The Franklin County Board of Health has given reprimands to the college food service during its monthly inspections in the form of written evaluations. �her· problem areas, besides the dirty floors in the kitchen and dining hall, were poor lighting and loose ceiling tiles in the kitchen.
Green points out that all of these. problems have bl:len resolved, and that the monthly evaluations· have gotten progressively better.
increase over last year, along with hikes in salary payments and food costs.
"Utilities went up about twice as fast as everything else," he said. It should be pointed out that money corning from student's board fees is chanelled into a budget, which is executed by the Hallmark Corporation, a company that manages college food services for profit.
When the management company runs over budget, as may be the case with Hallmark this year, it has to make up the difference with the management fees it earns from the school.
'They're in a tight squeeze this year,:· said Macke. He went on to explain that Hallmark, which bases its budget allocations on the anticipated number of students attending Otterbein each year, overestimated that number, spending too much money on food for the fall term before· realizing their error.
This may account for the alleged decline in the quality and variety of the food served to students since then.
The problem seems to lie with meal prepar ation and planning, since brand-named foods are used for the meals.
"Anything · 1ess than the brandname is usually of inferior quality," said Green, pointing to a large cup�':.':.� stackep with cans of , Heinz .,pro-
He also pointed out that all meat used by the food· service is of U.S. Choice grade. The beef patties used to make hamburgers has a higher fat content than ground beef bought in a store would contain.
While Green admits that entree dishes like spaghetti and lasagna contain a lot of starch, he also pointed out that each meal is balanced to include at least one protein-rich dish.
"We try to please everybody," Green said. "Sometimes we miss the mark."
There are some who think the food service misses its mark more than it has to.
Green admits there was no excu:,e . for the lack of preparation prior to the fall term.
"We just didn't do a good enough job in preparing. We have to take the responsibility."_
In light of the problems with• sanitation and personnel, it is easy to see that the students who complain of a declining food service aren't imagin-· ing things.
However, a remaining question is whether or not they should expect more for their money.
It is obvious that when a student purchases a meal ticket, he is paying for more than just the food that goes into his mouth.
According to Woodrow Macke, vice president in charge of business affairs at Otterbein, the student is also paying the personnel that prepare the lood along with management expenses: utility costs, and mortgage expenses on the Campus Center.
Macke said that any funds left over from the meal ticket funds are used to meet the college's expenses in other areas.
He claims that the biggest increase in food service operations has been in the area of utility costs, _e accounting for a large part of the . S 105 m�al ticket
"I think they could be managing it better," said one student who is a member of the Food Evaluation Subcommittee. Members of this group visit -other campuses, sampling their food services.
·eOne of the campuses the committee visited was. Marietta College, where the food service is also managel1 by Hallmark.
"Their food was a lot better than ours, and they pay less for it,''. the student said.
But she also pointed out that, since Marietta is situated in an isolated environment, unlike Otterbein, students ·edo not leave campus as much to eat elsewhere. Therefore, the numbe� of students dining at the school is more constant and predictable.e
She went on to say that most of thee schools she visited had newer kitchene equipment than Otterbein.e
It is not clear whether Otterbein will go to a system like this, the college is opening up bids to allow a new food service management to take over operations; so it is certain that the college food service will change in somee way.
Whether that change is for the better or wqrse remains to be seen

Dedication. Paying Off For Fippin As Musician
•
By Joy Grandstaff
"Kim is one of the most dedicated musicians I know!" That is what Senior Kim Fippin's fellow classmates say when asked about this remarkable student.
Kim's dedication has paid off with a scholarship from the University of Cincinnati College - Conservatory of Music which will cover all tuition and fees.
Kim decided to go to graduate school in bassoon performance. She said she enjoyed teaching, but decided not to because teaching did not leave adequate time to practice her
For the four years that Kim has been at Otterbein, her schedule has been a 14 hour day with classes, teaching and practicing. Kim also managed to keep a very high grade point average through her hectic schedule.
Kim will be graduating this spring with distinction from Otterbein. She considers her distinction project as one of the. many high points in her college ca'reer. She said, "Organizing an orchestra and conductingtheir performance was a great experience. The progress that Kim has made as a musician is also a high point as she reflects back on the four years she has spent on campus.
Kim has given a lot of her time and talent to the music department. She is Vice President of Delta Omicron, the music honorary, and is a member of every musical group that calls for a
bassoon part.
Besides all this, Kim has kept herself and others in good humor. Kim said that her most rewarding and greatest achievement was that "she made people smile for four years."
Those who know Kim would have to agree;
For those who plan to be a music major such as Kim,. she leaves some words of advice. "Practice a lot while instrument. She felt by going to grad school now, she would have the skill and knowledge to perform or teach in later years.
When asked about her time input, Kim said, "If you really enjoy something and are really serious you can make the time and start readabout it you'll make the time."

have initiated. The year ahead will include more work to strengthen our admissions and retention programs. We must undertake a thorough study of the curriculum to reduce fragmentation. We shall continue to develop and strengthen the honors, nursing and the English as a Second Language programs. I would anticipate so�e new focus in the integrative studies prograrri and perhaps in the area of the math-language option. continued strengthening of the Greek system and residence hall governance has high priority: I hope we can sustain the fine spirit of cooperation that we have had in 1980-1981.
Otterbein is a dynamic community. It needs to continue carefully planned change designed to enhance its mission of providing a liberal arts education in the Christian tradition. We have a very strong sense of community and need to focus our efforts on achieving our mission with excellence.
those minds will do in the future, can't even guess. But for better or worse (and I'm enough of an optimist to put my money on better), that's where the real history was made this year.
I ,hadn't guessed last September that '80-'81 wou!d be my last year.as chair of the 1.S. Department. As I go on to making guesses about Otterbein's history in a different capacity, I rather envy my successor, Dr. Sylvia Vance. She'll find her colleagues and students a frustrating, challenging, exciting group of people to make guesses with. But that will come as no surprise to her-she's been one of our best guessers all along.
PQ,rtS -otters In Battle To Defend OAC Crown
By Craig Merz
For the first time in the school's cross country history the team will open the season as the defending Ohio Conference champions. Holding onto the crown will noJ be easy.
"It's hard to see where we will be quite as deep as last year," said the Otters coach Dave Lehman. "We lost through graduation Mike Cook (17th in the conference), Bob Gold (eighth) and Rick Miller (fourth).
"However, through the top five, maybe six, guys we have the potential to be as strong as last fall. There are some question marks - some guys haven't proven themselves yet."
It would be· almost impossible to improve ·on the Otters' performance in the conference meet last season. The· Otters recorded the second lowest point total in the history of the OAC.
Returning for the Otters will be d,, f ending co11ference champion Jeff -Kr'1eice. · The senior from Columbus northland was named co-captain along with another senior, Rob Rose. Rose finishe9 thir_g_ in the conference. However, he missed the entire indoort and outdoor season because of a kneet injury. He has just started to runt again recently.t
Sophomore Mark Burns, fifth int the conference, is bolstered by hist
conference title in the 1500 meters at the track championships. Another track champion returning to the cross country scene is senior Hal Hopkins. The school record holder in the event finished ninth in the nati_pn in the steeplechase last week.
Freshman Brian Wenger may be called upon to fill one· of the varsity spots. The conference reserve champion worked his way onto the varsity for the Regionals last fall.
Recruiting has not brought an abundance of runners like last year, but Lehman said one runner could possibly make the varsity next year.
Scott Burns, Mark's brother, is the fastest miler ever recruited by Otterbein. Scott finished third in the Pennsylvania state championships with a 4: 17. Lehman is not sure if he will have any other prospects. He expects two transfers from Ohio University but is unsure of their abi.lity. The Ottefs will be in for a stiff challenge from Baldwin -Wallace and Ohio Wesleyan.
"Wesleyan is vastly improved," Lehman said. "I've heard they had an excellent recruiting year. BW is really improved. They don't lose any of their top six or seven. ·
"BW and Wesleyan are both greatly improved while we will stay about the same."
Lehma-n foresees _tthe tightest race fo� the championship since he has been at Otterbein.
As much as the Otters want to win the conference their ultimate goal is to make it to the nationals. Last year they finished a disappointing fifth as four teams advanced to the nationals. Otterbein has not been to the nationals in cross country since 1977.
"Our major goal is to win the conference," Lehman said. "But we want to make sure that it is not the end of the season like last year."
The schedule leading to the conference meet on Oct. 31 _t is filled with invitationals. An added feature is two home meets for the first time in manv years. The first one is scheduled for the Saturday before school starts (Sept. 12).
The Otters will travel to Tri-State University in Indiana in mid-October for a key meet. Otterbein will run against BW and Wesleyan in the invitational. The three schools cancelled a scheduled tri-meet to run at Tri-State. The site of the invitational is also the site of the regionals. All three coaches felt it was important to run on the course before the regionals.
If the Otters do make it in the top four at the regionals they will go to · Carthage College in Wisconsin on Nov. 21.t
Lehamn said the key to a successful season is a solid base of distance running. He expects all runners to cover at least 600 miles over the summer months.
If the Otters can avoid injuries and peak at the right time Lehman feels the team can reach all of their goals and once again be the conference champions
Ca.hie.TV+ Money Afternoon Football
By Dave Graham
When Otterbein football fans return to Memorial Stadium this fall they will no longer be seeing the Cardinals play their games at night except for one instance. The reason for the switch to afternoon games is more complex than meets the eye.
Last season Warner Communications, who operate QUBE cable television, televised Ohio State University football games to their Columbus area subscribers. When QUBE received the OSU contract, the National Collegiate Athletic Association addecj a stipulation saying that QUBE had to guarantee a sellout to all other NCAA schools
that had a game at the same time within a 40 mile radius. In other words, Warner and OUBE has to pick up tl:ie tab for all empty seats at the home games of Denison, Ohio Wesleyan, Capital, and Otterbein.
This season QUBE is not guaranteed that they will have the rights to the Ohio State games. According to Jimmy Jones of the OSU athletic department, OSU is receiving bids for the television rights for the games. No matter who gets the contract the NCAA stipulation still holds.
ff a commercial station were to get the bid they would have to insure sellouts to NCAA schools in a 120 mile radius. The larger area is because
commercial stations serve a larger broadcast area than cable stations. This would mean that these stations would have to· reimburse larger MidAmerican Conference schools like Ohio University and Miami University for their empty seats.
Rick Taffer. who is in OUBE's programming department, was unavailable for comment on the company's policy and involvement with the issue.
Otterbein baseball coach Dick Fishbaugh, who is filling in for Athletic Director Bud Yoest who is in Europe conducting track and field clinics, see nothing but advantages in playing the
"Teams that are travelling great distances to play a night game have a long trip ahead of them after the game and return very late at night," said Fishbaugh. He went on to, add that toward the end of the schedule in November the cold weather doesn't play as vital a role than if the game were played in the afternoon. Because of these factors, "a lot of teams really don't want to come here and play," Fishbaugh added.
It all boils down to that if Ohio State football gamesare televised, by anyone, Otterbein staAds to gain financially because of their schedule changes.
Woodruff,_Hoplcins·set Records At NCAAs
By Craig Merz
An all-American performance and two school records were the highlights of NCAA Division Ill Track Championships last week at Case Western Reserve University.
Senior Wayne Woodruff became an all-American for the third time in his career with his fourth place finish in the finals of the 400 intermediate hurdles. Woodruff also set a school record on succesive days in the event.
The other school record was set by junior Hal Hopkins in the 3000 meter steeplechase. Hopkins set the mark in the preliminaries on - Thursday. He came back on Saturday to finish ninth in the nation.
,,_ for Woodruff it was a happy end to a brill iant career at Otterbein. He was sixth in the nationals in the 400 hurdles two years ago. That same year
he was a member of the all-American mile relay team.
·t He won the hurdles in the Ohiot Conference championship· meet int 1980. H�wever, the season ended ont ·ta disappointing note as he failed tot qualify for the finals in the hurdlest at the nationals.t
The Centerburg native came backt this year as determined as ever to bet an all-American again. He qualified fort the nationals in the very first outdoort meet of the season. He subsequently ran faster than the qualifying standard in every race leading to the OAC championships.t
Woodruff successfully defendedt his hurdles crown by winning int school rec�,rd time of 52.8 seconds.t
Th� record was shortlived as Woodruff ran a 52. 72 in the semifinals Friday. Thedaybeforeheraria 53.Sinthe prelims.
In the finals Woodruff was edged out for the third spot but still managed a 52.65.
For Hopkins it was a case of being in the wrong heat on Thursday which may have hindered his performance in the finals. He was in the fast heat in the prelims and ran a 9:14.95twhich was good �nough for fifth - with the top six in each heat qualifying. In contrast, the winning time in the slow heat was 9:21 Hopkins' time broke his own sehool record by three ·seconds.
The 1981 OAC Steeplechase champion came back on Saturday to run his third fastest steeple ever9:20, but it was not good enough to place among the top six.
