Cao-Otter Clash
Frosh Doff Beanies by John Riley
The Scrap Day competition between the Classes of '7 5 and '76 this past Saturday provided an eventful afternoon in spite of an occasional light drizzle. The contest was close, but with determined will the frosh won out ~nd earned the right to stop weanng their beanies. The games started at 1:30 behind the Campus Center with a Co-Rec Three-Legged Sack Race. The sophomores gained ~he lead early in the event, but tn the last leg of the race the freshmen took over and won the firS t points earned during the afternoon. The Men's Football Relay was won easily by the sophomores; the freshmen, towever, won the Women's oola Hoop Relay in a close race. The sophomores won the io-Rec Dishpan Relay and the reshmen won the Co-Rec Back to Back Relay. th In the Men's 100 Yard Dash e freshmen won first and seco nd place and third place Went to th in e sophomores.

But as their last couple approached the finish line two freshmen bombarded the wheelbarrow pusher with water balloons. The two frosh fled, pursued by a mob of their competitors, while the sophomores finished and won the event. Only one member from each class survived to the end of the Women's Slowest Bike Race. As they edged toward the finish line the sophomore won, coming in just inches behind the frosh. A sophomore couple survived the Water Balloon Toss winning that event for their class. The freshman class won the Co-Rec Mattress Race and thus the score was tied as the last event began. The crowd moved down to the Alum Creek Park for the day's grand finale, the tug-of-war. The sophomores took up their end of the rope on the east bank and the freshmen were on the west. As the two sides began pulling, little happened ; but soon the rope started to move toward the freshmen. They continued pulling hard and finally the sophomores were in the creek. The Class of '76 thus became this year's Scrap Day champions and they departed from the park, determined to win again next year.
''Otter Dome'' Construction Set for Spring by Lee Schroeder
One of the new additions to Otterbein's campus for the near future is - the Physical Education-Recreation Center. The center will be in the shape of a round, domed building, eonsisting of two levels. It will be located immediately north of the football field and will include such facilities as a varsity basketball court, two handball courts, three tennis courts, and a 1/10 mile four lane track. The basketball court will hopefully hold 2800 spectators when completed. There will also be a multi-use open area divided into sections by curtains. This will allow people to engage in various activities like volley ball, tennis, badminton, and basketball all at the same time. Other features include ten faculty offices, a conference room, two classrooms, and a combined lounge-study library for students' use between classes. A gymnastics area, a dance area and a training room will also be provided. If all goes according to schedule, construction of the Physical Education-Recreation Center is expected to begin sometime during the spring of 1973, however, no completion
data has as yet been scheduled. An indoor swimming pool will hopefully be added later. However, funds are desperately needed in order to achieve this ultimate goal.
125th Anniversary Campaign Under the management and supervision of Mr. William Prince, this year's 125the Anniversary Campaign will sponsor the largest duti.d raising program in thehis.tory of Otterbein College. The program entitled, Venture into 0 pp or t unity, will consist of thirty area campaigns designated to organize person to person solicitation beginning this fall. The purpose of the campaign is to raise money for three proposed building and renovation projects at Otterbein. The first of these is the multi-purpose athletic facility to be built north of the football field. The second phase of the program will involve the remodeling of the gymnasium to include a number of modern classrooms which will make up the new Teaching-Learning Center. The third project is the renovation of Towers Hall. The college hopes to replace the roof of Towers and have the interior
made over to house the offices of the most members of the faculty. Mr. Prince has had a great deal of past experience in the field of fund raising. He has managed financial affairs for several secondary schools, preparatory schools, and private academies. Mr. Prince has also given his professional help to Rice University, Denison and Oberlin colleges. In addition to this brilliant record, Mr. Prince once held the position as a professional fund raiser for Marts and Lundy, Inc. When asked to comment on the exact dollar goal originally set by the campaign, Mr. Prince replied he was confident that the goal of $2,320,000 would be reached in the not too distant future. Since last spring, the campaign has accumulated approximately $925,000. Most of this money came from Otterbein constituency, alumni, parents, and church people. Many contributions were also made by large businesses and industries. However, Mr. Price encourages everyone to take an active interest in Otterbein's growth and development through his/her contribution.
