The flooring was replaced with beautiful reproduction carpets and tile that gives a glimpse of what the building might have looked like at the turn of the century.

T raditions, alumni and a lot of rain filled Homecoming 1998 at Otterbein. According to CPB Direc tor , Ruth C rane, the theme "Swinging Through the Decades was chosen because it encouraged alumni of all ages to attend the festivities." Friday held the annual bonfire behind the triad in which foot ball coach Wally Hood spoke, the cardinal band played, and the Homecoming court was introduced. Otterbein' s radio station WOBN also kicked of f a 40 hour marathon to celebrate

40 years of bringing music to campus. On Saturday, the Student Alumni Orga nizat ion hosted a alumni breakfast in which OC graduate and NBC 4 news anchor Cabot Rea attended. Float winners in c luded Tau Epsilon Mu, Kappa Phi Omega, and Epsilon Kappa Tau. Homecoming ban ners were also judged with Kings, EKT, and Tau Delta winning. Ceremonies con cluded with the Home coming football game in which Otterbein faced Muskingum. The cards were defeated 147.

9\[f w Student Otterbein's incoming stu dents were greeted with one of the biggest New Student Weekends the campus has ever put together. Twenty-eight orientation leaders, incoming new students who had already been through summer orientation and first time orientation new students, all came together four days before fall classes began. Student Orientation leader, Michelle Lohr, said, "everything went very smoothly. We had the opportunity to allow the new stu dents to have more freedom with their time, and take a more indepen-

dent approach." New students took part in many activities throughout the week end. Activities were held such as goofy games and attending the first OC football game. Students who had not already gone through a sum mer orientation took placement tests and learned their way around cam pus. "We try to give students who were unable to attend a more exten sive orientations during the summer an opportunity to meet others before Freshmen get their fill of ice cream at President DeVore' s house during new student weekend. school begins," Lohr said.

Community P{unge

Every year during New Stu dent Weekend incoming freshman and new students volunteer their time to take the community plunge. To help show Otterbein's new students how important giving back to the community is both the organizers of orientations and com munity service put together what they call the community plunge. Shantel Weinshimer, a ori entation leader, said, "this year we had a huge response by the new stu dents to help out in the community.

"Our school has a great reputation for getting our hands dirty and helping in the community," Weinshimer said. The new students worked hard, learned about what Otterbein is built on, and took a step into con tinuing their community service ef forts in their future years at the col lege.

Co[um6us and Westeroi[[e . •• By Aaron Stegall As Otterbein stu dents try to find the latest things to do they often find themselves not on campus. Although this year has been a break through, with the Rave and They might Be Giants, there is always a need to find something to do. Here at Otterbein it would literally be impos-

sible to entertain every stu dent all the time. That is why students are forced to go off campus. With all the rules and regulations many students find it hard to have fun and not get in trouble. This is why the downtown Columbus and OSU campus are some of the popular places to hang out.

<Jrying to :Jiave !fun Somewhere

Performing for a crowd that nearly passed 1700, They Might Be Giants made history when they per formed in the Rike on Fri day, February 26. The con cert was the first of its kind at Otterbein. Enthusiasts from both the campus community and other states crowded the Rike to hear the alternative pop bank play. The Campus Pro gramming Board and the Artist Series in a joint effort brought the group to cam pus. Patricia Kessler, Direc tor of College Relations, said

that only 800-1200 were ex pected to attend. The number of tickets sold exceeded 1500. The Giants, made up of musicians-song writers John Linnell and John Flansburgh, performed hit tunes like "Shoehorn with Teeth" and "Istanbul." Freshman Erin Deel was very excited that the Gi ants came to Otterbein, and as with many other students, she invited friends from out of town to come see the group. She said, "Everyone who attended had a great time."

Spring r.Breal(

Spring Break, it's some thing that each and every stu dent starts talking about be fore winter break has ar rived. The plans start - where to go, who's going, and what's the best deal? Flyers are posted all over campus offering luxurious trips to the Bahamas, Panama City, and Cacun. It's a week and a half of fun, no papers to write andno exams to think about. Some do have a few things to think about like practicing. Yes, those lucky spring sports teams find

there way south to practice for their upcoming seasons. This last year the softball team traveled west to Califor nia, baseball to Panama City, mens tennis to Hilton Head, womens tennis to Orlando and track had a few meets down in Georgia. But Spring Break does not necessarily mean traveling many take the time to see their missed families or earn some big bucks working over break. One way or another it's a well needed break from classes.

Winterfest Winterfest is anunal tradi tional event for the Campus Programming Board. This year the event was held in the Pit of the Campus Center, Friday, February 19. Tina Mohn of Sigma Al pha Tau and Nick Alfman of Lambda Gamma Epsilon was crowned king and queen for the sophomore class. Mohn said, "It was an honor to be crowned." The crowning took place after comedienne Renee Hicks performed. Hicks ap peared once before at Otterbein in 1998 for Greek Week. Hicks performance was not done after her comedi enne route. She then an-

nounced each candidate and their personal stats. Hicks had plenty of fun with a few of the candidates, as she joke around with them during the cermony. She then crowed the 1998-1999 Winterfest king and queen. Events started at 1 Oa.m. Friday morning. Appear ance were made by Marylin Monore, James Dean and Darth Vader. Well, at least their card board cut outs showed up. Students could place their faces in the cut outs and have their picture taken for free. CPB felt there was an overall good tum out and the event was a sucess. above: Tina Mohn is congratulated after her victory by her sorority sisters, Jessica Clark and Erin Range.

President Dr. DeVore welcomed all of the cherished alumni and guest speakers.

above: The opening of Towers Hall caused a large celebration.

Balloons floated across Towers lawn, men set up tents, and former gradu ates returned to campus there was a party atmosphere on April 26, 1999 as Towers Hall was rededicated. For the freshmen, Towers could have been a new building. Many of them had never toured the building before it was closed for reno vation. Upperclassmen laughed, welcomed, and stood in awe of the mass im provements made to the structure. Several faculty and alumni commented on how happy they were to hear the bells. The bells were defi nitely missed on campus, but the faculty also breathed a sigh of relief; so many more

classrooms would now be available, and offices would return to were they had been. Spectators com mented on the beautiful, pol ished wood and checkered floor. Dance and theatre ma jors rejoiced at the sight of the dance floor. One student commented, "There are places to put our shoes." It did not appear as if anyone who saw the handcrafted "bookshelves of donors" left without commenting on how real they looked. Many people gave time and effort for the rededi cation to come together. Stu dents, faculty, alumni, and generous donors all contrib- � _ uted to restoring Towers glory.

Live music by O.C. Jazz band kept the atmosphere alive and well during the ceremony.

Dr. DeVore, president, cuts the ribÂ bon first in the rededication of Towers Hall.

It took many man hours to get the days events to go smoothly.

Faculty Glories What they have done and where they have been...

OC Professo0 student vo[unteer in !l(ussia by Lori Loughman A summer trip to Saratov, Russia started out to be a fright ening experience for John Buckles and Mark Peebles, but ended up becoming a lasting memory. Buckles, associated professor of communication, and Peebles, a sophomore, went to Russia to assist Otterbein alumni Todd Roese with his missionary work at The Word of Life in Saratov, a city south of Moscow. Their experience began with Buckles having his luggage stolen as soon as they arrived in Mos cow. "All of my things were sto len. My luggage, plane ticket, passport, visa, wallet, papers, video camera, everything was taken," Buckles said. "There was a possibility of being sent back to Moscow to get an emer gency visa." Roese's belongings were also stolen. His credit cards, which he depended on to get money, were taken. "I knew I was going to find my things," Buckles said. "I knew God would help us." The next morning at 5:30a.m. Buckles woke up <1:fter only having about one and a half hours of sleep.

He walked onto a path and went straight to where his lug gage had been thrown behind a bush. After walking about 50 yards away from that, he found Roese's luggage. "It was like a supernatural experience for me," Buckles said. "Only my money and my video camera were missing." After spending the night in Moscow, the three left for Saratov. After a brief stay at an adult camp, they were able to begin their work at a Christian Youth Camp at the church where Roese worked. Buckles and Peebles stayed at the camp for seven days help ing youth between the ages of 10 and 19. They played games, had group discussions and listened to worship music. They also went fishing on the inlet of the Volga River, the longest in Rus sia. "The kids were really amazed at all of the games that Ameri cans play," Peebles said. "They really thought that having relay races was fun and special." He said the Russians he worked with were poverty stricken and some of them had been abused.

When Peebles and Buckles arrived at the camp, the youth huddled together in small groups, but by the end of the week they were all combined into one group. Peebles said when the two left camp, all of the youth were there to say good-bye. "The kids connected so well with John and I. They all came to see us off and they hugged us and ran beside the train when we left," Peebles said. The trip to Russia allowed the two to experience the Russian culture, Peebles said. "The people in Russia were very poor. A salary of $200 a week was a good salary for them," Peebles said. "Things cost about the same as they do in America so $200 isn't very much." Peebles said people in Russia grow vegetables and pick them to bring to the market in town. This is the only source of in come for some. "The market was always overly crowded because Rus sian people have no form of re frigeration so they can only buy what they need for the day," Peebles said. He also said they had a hard time communicating with the

Russians and needed two trans lators to help them. Roese could speak some Russian and was helpful with the language barrier. "The kids tried to help us, "Antone would even go to the translators and ask them words in English and translated them to us in Russian. "I learned how to say yes, no, coffee, tea and almost 50 other words." In addition to learning some Russian words and phrases, the two made unforgettable friend ships. The trip lasted sixteen days, which included several days of travel, both Peebles and Buck les said they would go again if given the opportunity. "I would love to go back someday and take my wife," Buckles said. "It was some thing that will stay with me my whole life. When I first ar rived, I thought Americans were the rich ones because the Russians were so poor, but when I left I felt completely dif ferent." Peebles said he also plans to stay in touch with some of the youth he met at the camp. reprinted from the Tan & Cardi nal copyright October 1, 1998

Seemueller has been with WOCC since the beginning and said he had mixed emotions about leaving. Though he has dedicated many years to the sta tion, Seemueller is looking for ward to his new job working as "one man" production. He will

Over a holiday weekend the staff spent from 5p.m. Fri day until 5p.m. Monday broadcsting form the produc tion office. "He knows everything.

That's all you need to know," said Sharon Simpson, a junior continuing studies student who works at WOCC.

Hood won his 100th colle giate football game on Oct. 24 against Heidelberg in the Rhine River Classic, 24-14. Hood is 100-102-8 after more than 20 years of coaching. Hood said that winning the classic was special, because it meant his team earned back the Rhine River Cup - a trophy awarded to the winner of the Otterbein-Heidelberg series.

Part of Otterbein's beauty comes from the many diverse people who attend school here. February 7-13 was a week to celebrate that diver sity. Throughout the week, lec tures and films portrayed unique study abroad pro grams in countries such as Russia, Ireland, England, Wales, Palestine, Islam, Co lumbia, Africa, Italy, France and Spain. Sponsored by ISA and AASU many events were set up to celebrate diversity. One of the most popular events was the Global Vil lage Dinner and fashion Show held Wednesday, Feb-

ruary 10. Teaming up for the first time ISA and AASU pro vided an evening of different cultures for the enjoyment of students, faculty and staff. The dinner boasted foods from all of the countries within ISA and the fashion show presented the cultural difference in clothing from different countries. Latin music and dancing was also provided for the enjoyment of those in attendance. Students who attended and some on lookers commented on the tremendous job that was done to put the entire show to gether.

Spea/&r says dream is forgotten' 1

Julianne Malveaux, guest speaker for the Martin Luther King Jr. Con vocation reprinted with permission of the Tan & Cardinal by Rebecca Norton staff writer

Martin Luther King Jr.'s "ethic of excellence has been forgotten," Dr. Julianne Malveaux told stu dents and faculty at the an nual Martin Luther King Jr. convocation on Tuesday af ternoon. Malveaux is an econo mist, writer and columnist She has appeared nationally since 1990. She contributes

regularly to Ms. Magazine and USA Today and also to the San Francisco Sun Reporter. In addition to her writing contributions, she also is the host an executive producer of a news and public affairs show in Washington, D.C. During the convocation Malveaux said that not only have the ideas King repre sented been forgotten, but King's "dream" has become commercialized in today's

society. Martin Luther King Jr. Day has become com mercialized in today's soci ety. Martin Luther King Jr. Day has become a "day off' for most people instead of a "day on" Malveaux ex plained. Malveaux said King was not passive when he fought for the issues he believed in, while today people are too willing to accept the way things are. Malveaux pointed out that King and his followers had a fire and pas sion for the issues he be lieved. She questioned why Americans don't stand up for what they believe in as they have in the past. Malveaux also explained the issues are much more complex than white or black and where someone rides on a bus. Today the issue is who can drive the bus or own the bus. Malveaux hypothesized that if Martin Luther King Jr. was alive today, he would probably be concerned with the quality of human rela tions. "He might say 'You're

trying, but trying just ain't getting it done,"' Malveaux said. The ideals King stood for go beyond the marches and protest, Malveaux ex plained. Everybody has the "drum major instinct,' or desire to shine, Malveaux said. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a drum major for justice. Malveaux challenged Ot terbein to do the same. Her challenge reached out to one Otterbein student. "I thought she was an ex cellent speaker," senior Michelle Risdon said. "She had my attention the entire time. It left me thinking about what she said." Outside of speaking at col leges, Malveaux's addi tional activities include act ing as the President of the National Association of Ne gro Business and Profes sional Women's Clubs and the vice chair of the Board of Directors of the National Child Labor Committee. -Additionally, she serves on the board of the Center for Policy Alternatives.

The dreadful events that plagued the life of John F. Kennedy Jr. painted an eerie backdrop for the tragic plane crash that killed him, his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and her sister, Lauren Bessette. The bodies of the three victims were recovered July 21 by divers in the Atlantic about seven miles off Martha's Vineyard, where the Piper Saratoga II Kennedy was piloting crashed five days before. In the end, the nation and the world were left to mourn the loss of a man they came to know as a little boy, saluting the casket of his assassinated father, a boy who grew up to inherit the bittersweet Kennedy legacy.

Deadly earthquakes rocked the globe from Mexico to Taiwan, killing more than 21,000 in the span of four months. The year's most catastrophic earthquake occurred August 17 in Turkey, where nearly 17,000 people perished. The earthquake in Turkey measured 7.6 on the Richter scale and was followed by several serious aftershocks, which destroyed thousands of buildings and left hundreds of thousands of people homeless and living in tent cities.

All 217 passengers on EgyptAir Flight 990 were killed in October when the Boeing 767 crashed into the Atlantic off the Massachusetts coast. As search crews recovered pieces of the airliner from the ocean floor, speculation mounted that relief pilot Gamil alÂ Batouty intentionally crashed the plane. Information collected from the flight data recorder revealed that Batouty had turned off the engines and deployed the speed brakes. Although U.S. investigators suspected that Batouty had a death wish, no suicide note or evidence of terrorism emerged.

After predictions of the Apocalypse spurred years of preparations and precautionary spending in excess of $500 billion worldwide, the year 2000 came without incident. Y2K brought only minor glitches despite concerns over a technologically triggered Doomsday. As celebration of the new year subsided, there was growing criticism of the media, the government and a multitude of entrepreneurs for their part in the Y2K hysteria. Also at issue was the question of the new millennium, with purists arguing that it was still a year away.

Pokemon, Japan's cuddly cartoon critters, created a frenzy for children of all ages with toys, video games, comic books, trading cards and a feature film. The animated "pocket monsters" also invaded television with a weekly cartoon series. The Pokemon franchise exploded with more than $6 billion in sales worldwide, making it even more profitable than the entire video game industry.

Charles Schulz bid a fond farewell to millions of fans all over the world in January when retiring the beloved "Peanuts" comic strip he had penned for more than 50 years. Increasingly poor health made retirement necessary for Schulz, who had several small strokes and was suffering from Parkinson's disease and colon cancer. At the end of its historic run, "Peanuts" appeared in 2,600 newspapers in 75 countries and 21 languages, making it the world's most widely read comic strip.

The New York Yankees put the finishing touches on their "Team of the Century" designation by sweeping the Atlanta Braves in the World Series in October. By beating the Braves, the Yankees claimed their second-straight world championship sweep and the team's 25th World Series win overall. The Yankees are the only team in baseball history to chart back-to-back sweeps in the World Series, having done it three times.

The U.S. women's soccer team battled for 120 minutes to a scoreless tie before defeating China, 5-4, on penalty kicks in the World Cup Final in July. The exciting win captured the heart of America, resulting in hero status for the team's 20 members and energizing women's sports overall. Additionally, the World Cup championship was credited for boosting soccer's marginal stature in 1 the United States.

ABC's surprise hit "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" brought television full-circle from its infancy, when prime-time game shows were a mainstay. Hosted by TV's crafty quipster, Regis Philbin, the show became an instant phenomenon and gave ABC its first sweeps win in five years. The other major networks quickly followed suit with their own quiz-show clones, such as FOX's "Greed" and "Twenty One" on NBC.

In the highest scoring Sugar Bowl game ever played, top-ranked Florida State outlasted No.2 Virginia Tech, 46-29, to claim college football's National Championship in January. The Seminoles trailed the Hokies late in the third quarter before scoring 18 unanswered points for the win. Florida State ended the season with a perfect 12-0 record and became the first team to start and finish a season ranked No. 1 since the preseason ratings system began in 1950.

Community service was a key for the Kings this year. In fact, they won two Com munity Service Awards at the Leadership Awards and Recognition Ceremony held May 25. Throughout the year, Kings received several hon ors. Junior Nick Alfman was Winterfest King and senior Brian Hickman won Home coming King. The Kings also had two All-American members, freshman B. J. Pitzen in golf and sopho more Andy Johnson in track. Junior Mark Posey was elected student trustee dur ing the spring quarter.

One memorable event they held during the year was decorating for HUB Hallow een. They were the winners in the contest. They filled the chapter room with a mock kettle brimming with dry ice, orange lights hung through out the room and black light ing was used to illuminate the streamers.

Tears are shed as the candle is passed, but mem bers agree that they feel bet ter, more appreciated, and unified at the conclusion.

The final song was a trib ute to the momentous people and events from the twenti eth century. Some members of the audience were drawn to tears. Senior Amy Bancroft did the choreography for Har mony Night while junior Jen nifer Lennox concentrated on the piano accompaniment, but the night was successful because of the talents of ev eryone involved.

When it came to community service, Theta Nu stayed involved all year long. They sponsored a soc cer team through the YMCA, participated in Adopt-a-school and blood drives, made valentines for Altercare, and gift wrapped for St. Ann's Hospital. Dur ing other events, Theta Nu helped judge science fair projects at a local school and held canned food drives. Advisor Sue Roy in troduced a community ser vice project called Clothing for Budda. The girls gath ered their used clothing and small appliances, and Roy drove the collected items to her place of worship. Collecting money

for Youth to Youth was an other important project. Jun ior Brandy Jo Hertenstein or ganized the event where members collected money outside of Kroger's and Damon's to benefit Gahanna's Youth to Youth program. The organization helps youth stay away from drugs and alcohol. Theta Nu also spent time in sisterhoods. On one occasion, sorority members drove to Canada.

The high GPA helped them when they went to the Midwest ern convention, said chapter president Lee Robinson. At the Midwestern Conven tion, the chapter competed

against 12 other state in the same region. In order to compete, the chap ter had to present a display highlighting the community service it has both participate din and facilitated. The chap ter was judged on how it initi ated and participated in com munity service events. "Everyone was very, very happy,"Chilton said. "Compe tition was very steep." Chilton added that to win an award out of all the other chap ters competing was an honor, especially since the fraternity is os community service oriented. The chapter will be going to Dallas, TX on July 29 for the nation conference where they will meet up with all four re gions. Alpha Phi ?Alpha member Bruce Young said, "It's and honor, especially (winning) in the same year, and with this chance to go to nationals." While Young didn't attend the conference, Robinson did. Robinson said, I was excited and pleaded, because we put a lot of hard work into this." reprinted from Tan and Cardinal copyright April 8, 1999.
