Senate approves ADP certificate program

By Amy Cedargren

The College Senate approved a bill, proposed in a revised edition from last year, that initiates a certificate program in five academic areas for Adult Degree Program students.

Upon completion of 62 quarter hours of course, a certificate will be granted.

The bill was proposed by Greg Longacre, director of Continuing Education, and Gale Miller, former chairman and professor of business. The bill was revised after defeat last year on the Senate floor. This year, Longacre said, he began "a more thorough process of explaining it" as well as "gathering input from committees, faculty and students."

"The communication process made a big difference-it made the bill a better proposal," he added.

The reasoning for initiation of a certificate program is three-fold, Longacre said. First, the program offers college graduates the opportunity to update their skills in short, specific programs.

Second, such a program will be attractive to area businesses as a means to offer a specific block of classes to their employees as encouragement for continuing education.

Third, most Adult Degree Program students earn their bachelors degree over a period of ten years and a certificate program would offer them a "milestone" in their educational process.

Objections to the program were raised by Dr. Paul Redditt and Dr. Mitchell Staude, with both concerned about deviation from Ottcrbein's liberal arts focus.

"We are a four-year liberal arts college. We espouse a breath of learning and a breadth or skills that we say

takes four years," Redditt said. Staude said" there are no good reasons for implementing the plan," and suggests the "real motivation" behind initiating the program is to satisfy those ADP students, "who only want to gain some expertise in thejobrelated (or job-enhancing) area " Redditt added, in reference to the specific block of classes that compose the program, "we don't have to package it for them." He continued, "It's not minimally sufficient-the real reason for doing this is we think it will sell."

John Ludlum, supporter of the bill, counters Rcdditt's idea of a cheapened product with the idea that Otterbein's certificate program is "considerably different" from other programs in that "much more emphasis is placed on communication skills, and basic requirements. It offers a scaled-down, four-year program, not a scaled-down major," he added.

Frat ''tea" party ends abruptly

A party at an on-campus fraternity house was dispersed Saturday night by Otterbein administration.

Robert Gatti, dean for student development, was called to the Sigma Delta Phi (Sphinx) fraternity house Saturday evening to disband an illegal party in which alcoholic beverages were being served.

A Sigma Delta Phi member in attendance at Saturday's party said that Gatti entered the house at approximately 11 p.m. The Sphinx active said that a Long Island Ice Tea party had been going on for approximately 2½ hours and that 40-50 students were present. Gatti entered the fraternity house and asked to speak with Jerry Thaman, president of the active chapter. After talking to Gatti, Thaman then ended the party.

dealing with the situation."

In an interview Monday, Gatti said that the violation would appear before Tribunal, the fraternity judicial body within a week. Mike Hitt, president of lnterfraternity Council, said following Tuesday's meeting that the Sphinx incident did not come up in IFC but would wait and be discussed in Tribunal.

Saturday's incident was the first time in over a year that campus administration was called to disband an illegal party at a Greek house. Gatti said that the last time he has been notified of an illegal party was in the fall, 1982 when King's fraternity held a party during an orientation session.

The Tan & Cardinal also learned that several members of the Otterbein Resident Assistant staff were in attendance at Saturday's party. No other information was available at press time.

Gatti said that "Thaman and the other officers were quite honest in n Opus s performed Pi::a:::: '84 • last 11·eekend. For a review of their per­

Paul Redditt

About the extensive debate, Longacre said, "People objected because it is a new idea." He feels a major positive aspect of the program is that it will offer ADP students an attainable goal.

Redditt and Staude remain opponents of the program, however, "I don't sec any reason for offering it," Redditt said.

Staude is concerned about Ottcrbein's direction, seeing the college deviating from it's liberal arts purpose:

Mitchell Staude

"The implementation of this certificate program, although in itself is a small thing, is another step in a direction awav from that mission. It seems to me it is past time for a reassesment of the goal and mission (if we have one) of Ottcrbci n."

In other action, the senate approved a recommendation for honorary degrees to be conferred at this June's commencement, and a change in credit hours in several nursing classes.

OC budget committee tackles important issues

By Jerry Marks

The Budget Control and Executive Committee Meeting took nearly three hours Saturda;, to go through the three page agenda.

President Thomas .I. Kerr IV said the meeting went smoothly through the agenda. Kerr said the meeting disclosed a lot of changes, but "plans arc moving foreward."

The four areas that Kerr felt were important previous to the meeting were as follows: Facilities planning; the '85-'86 budget; long range planning report; and renovations of Barlow Hall.

John Wathen, director of the service department presented the report on facilities planning. Kerr said the facilities board will meet again before the June 2 trustee meeting.

The "planning model" of the '85-'86 budget was discussed, but a final acceptance of the budget will be adopted in January after the fall figures for enrollment can be studied.

Kerr said the long-range plan's preliminary draft was circulated, as suggestions were made. The five-yearplan for the college will be adopted at the fall board meeting. Kerr said that

The I.S. festival wraps up its activities today bringing to an end a week of' seminars, films and presentations. See page 6.

at the time of the projected adoption, the newly selected president will have time to look over and comment on the plan.

Barlow Hall, located adjacent to Clements Hall, will be renovated this summer to house the Career Services Center next year. Kerr said that the trustee sub-committee accepted ideas and that $35,000 will be allocated for the transformation.

Also taking place at Saturday's meeting, Dr. Harold Hancock was named professor of History Emeritus, College Historian, and curator of the Philomathean Room. Hancock will fill these roles officially June 16.

Resignations and tenures for faculty and staff members were also announced for '84-'85. Three staff members will resign, and four will accept promotions.

Between now and the June trustee meeting, Kerr will be working on the long-range program, making Campaign calls in Florida and throughout Ohio. Kerr said that with the new reports on admission and the longrange campaign, "it is a time of change for Otterbein," and that the meeting left Kerr with "a good sense that things were moving ahead."

Otterbein rider Simone Mancuso was named Region VIII Novice Equitation champion last weekend. See page 8.

Opponents discuss issues

Editor's Note: Amy Cedargren and Kim Whitmore, the Otterbein women 11·ho are vying for this year's student trustee position, here present their programs for more effective representation of student issues.

Whitmore: I am very well-rounded. Cedargren: My main qualification due to my involvement in many for being a student trustee activities, and therefore would be stems from my involvement in capable of representing the whole many activities-from T&C. to student body.

( Certificate program evaluted

With Senate approval of Bill 83/84-8, last Wednesday, the discussion of the Adult Certificate Program would seem to be a thing of the past. We at the Tan and Cardinal, however, feel discussion of the certificate program should, if not start anew, then be placed on a very warm back burner, because, although we recognize the purpose and potential of the program, we recognize the potential ill effects, also.

The adult degree program has become a major part of Otterbein. Without the additional students the program brings to the college, tuition for normal day students would be much greater. and the day program would suffer. The certificate program will theoretically give adult degree students a mid-point goal. which will keep them from leaving the college after taking a few courses and, hopefully. encourage them to continue working toward their bachelor's degree. If that is indeed the purpose and the effect of the program, we heartily endorse it.

The problem with the program is not the theory behind it, but the practical application of it. As the opponents of the bill pointed out Wednesday, there seems to be some ambiguity as to exactly what a certificate is. It is not a degree, and yet, it is more than a mere pat on the back or slip of paper: possessors of certificates will be able to use them as documentation from Otterbein certifying that they have completed an approved course of study. As Dr. Paul Redditt put it, "Either the certificate doesn't mean anything, or it sells our educational product short,"-an educational product which, coming from a liberal arts college. cannot be offered piecemeal.

So Otterbein, as a liberal arts college struggling to survive as well as offer a top-quality education. is faced with an interesting dilemma. Additional Adult Degree Program students are needed. and the certificate program promises to deliver them and keep them at Otterbein at least long enough to earn their certificates. The question is, how far can Otterbein bend with the times before it abandons its integrity as a liberal arts school?

Fortunately, the certificate program is up for review in five years. It will be important, over those five years, to keep a close watch on how certificates are being used (are students finishing their bachelor's degrees, or stopping with the certificates and are the certificates making an impact in the work-place) and on how they affect both the academic program and the value of a degree from Otterbein.

0. C. accepts staff resignations and promotions

By Dave Williams

The resignations of three faculty / staff members were accepted while four others received tenure at the Board of Trustees meeting Saturday in the Campus Center.

Director of Residence Life Mary Pembroke will leave Otterbein in June. "I decided it was time to move on and explore new career opportunities in a new location," she said.

Pembroke is finishing her fourth year at Otterbein. She stated, "I was first hired as an assistant director of the Campus Center. At the same time I worked with student activities and was the head resident of Garst, Scott and Engle." After two years. Pembroke filled the newly developed position of director of residence life.

Pembroke feels she will probably stay in student affairs although she admits that she has considered teach -

ing and business in her job search. "I was looking for openings in student affairs while attending a conference in Baltimore last week," she said.

"From the beginning as a hall director," said Pembroke, "I really enjoyed the close contact from working with students and working with the R.A.s and hall directors. We may not always agree, but that's okay because we usually came to some consensus."

The other announced resignations were Pamala Stolz, a controller in the business office and Barbara Goresh, account manager.

Woodrow Macke, vice-president of business affairs and business manager. explained Stolz left because of medical reasons and does not plan to return to work.

Macke explained further that Goresh was hired last year to assist Stolz and work on student loan collections. Goresh wanted to replace

Stolz when she left but it was decided that Goresh did not have the experience needed to fill the position.

"She (Goresh) came to us with high recommendations and left with high recommendation but she was only out of college for three years and with us for a short time so she was not ready for the step up," said Macke. He added that Goresh has moved to a job with a better chance of advancement.

Of the four faculty members who received tenure, two were in the nursing department; Carol Engle and Sara Mercer-Sells, both associate professors. Thomas James, associate professor of mathematical sciences and Jean Spero, associate professor of home economics also received tenure.

In addition. James Gorman (english), Marjorie Hoffman (nursing) and Diane Jedlicka (nursing) were promoted from instructors to assistant professors.

A $250 scholarship is being offered for word information processing majors by the Mid-Ohio Chapter of Information Systems Professionals.

The Vcteran·s Administration Health Professional Scholarship Program is accepting applications. To apply. a student must be a U.S. citizen and enrolled full-tiume in the B.S.N. program.

Applications are still available for the United Methodist Masons and Polonia foundation Scholarships.

If interested in any of these scholarships. applications and more information arc available in the Financial Aid Office.

Pizazz '84: the strength is in the solo voice

By Tami Lange

Pizazz '84 was touted by the Department of Music and the Otterbein College Theatre as three evenings of "lively entertainment." True, the show did run over three evenings and it was entertaining and it was lively-well, at least for the most part. The ensemble ran the gammet of musical varietyfrom show tunes to rock, from the ridiculous to the sublime. Unfortunately, there were times when the group let their energy level slip. Alas, is a bad review on the way? No, for what Opus Zero lacked in ensemble energy, they more than made up for in solo and duet work.

This years' opener was "People Got to be Free," a typical (not in a bad sense) show-choir piece. This was followed by the Irving Berlin song "Blue Skies," which was not only well-done by the group, but also by the instrumental ensemble that backed them up. There was special and deserved applause for Karen Slade on a flugelhorn solo

Every time I have seen Opus Zero perform, I have been especially impressed by the show medleys. Last year's Pizazz performance featured music from "Evita," and the fall show showcased "Cats" both of which

were very well done. Pizazz '84 featured tunes from "42nd St." which were well-intended, if nothing else. Garish wigs and parasols as well as some ill-fitting top hats provided the audience with their first breath of comic relief. The second breath came on a duet by Jeff Kin and Carol Lee Mika entitled "Money Money" from "Cabaret." Some staged clowning and fine musical work made this one of the most memorable numbers in the show (even though the money kept appearing throughout Kin and Mika's dance solo in "Birdland").

Other first-act solos included an exceptional rendition of "Bess. You Is

"Iceman'' shows talent with interesting storyline

The 'Oscars' have just been given out. yet already I have a nomination for next year's 'best supporting actor.' His name is John Lone, and he stars as a man who's been frozen in the Arctic ice for some 40,000 years, and is brought back to life in "Iceman.'

The movie opens with the discovery of a life-form in a glacier. The huge block of ice that contains it is cut and taken back to a research facility hidden in the Arctic plains. There the ice is thawed and the scientists. including an anthropologist named Shepard (Timothy Hutton), realize what they've got is a "damned Neanderthal on our hands!"

There is a powerful scene when the •iceman' is thawed, and ultimately 'brought back to life. Hutton persuades the headscientist (Lindsay Crouse) to let him figure out the language and qlkr characteristics of the 'Iceman,' and the result is an awkward but very _. -relationship. Lone is just hypnotizing as 'Charley' name Hutton gives him). His twitch and grunt and movement instinctuallike an animal's. yet he many characteristics of man: Ian_,.. writing even a sense of humor. Thereis a great scene when Hutton and rley are sitting around a fire in the Arctic station's 'simulated forest vironmentfacility.' Hutton begins g •Heart of Gold,' and Charley in with his own primitive form ofmusic. The result is a very funny duet

In another scene, a helicopter hovers over the roof of the research lab. Charley thinks it's his God, and from that point on, he thinks of nothing but finding it.

If there is any fault with 'Iceman,' it is that the ending is a little slow and weak. But the fine performances by Tim Hutton and especially John Lone, and the taut direction by Fred Schepisi make it a warm and gripping film.

News from the Movies: Christopher Lloyd (Rev. Jim on 'Taxi') stars in 'Star Trek 111 - The Search for Spock,' due June I. He plays the Klingon Commander Kruge. Drew Barrymore (Gerty in 'E.T.') has the power to set things on fire in 'Firestarter,' the latest Stephen King Adaptation. It's due May 11

Harrison Ford plays Indiana Jones again in Steven Spielberg's 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,' due May 23. I saw a preview at a local theatre and yes. it will be another roller coaster ride of action and suspense.

Finally, good news for everyone: 'Friday the 13th - Part 4' is the last of those gross and altogether worthless slasher films. Let's throw a party to celebrate the end of 'Jason!' You bring the steak. I'll bring the knives! Just kidding.

My Woman Now" from Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess" by Todd Rupp and Sherri Puderbaugh. After this, there was no doubt of Rupp's talent or Puderbaugh's ability as a soprano.

Another talented soprano, Robin Stafford, offered Barbara Streisand's "The Way He Makes Me Feel" with such power that the whole audience could empathize with how she felt. Act II showed marked ensemble improvement along with the same high quality of solos. Air Supply's "Here I Am" was carried by wonderful tonal quality and blend, and "We Are Family" was literally brought to the audience as the entire ensemble took to the aisles of Riley Auditorium. However, it was once again solos that highlighted the act, and the most memorable solos at this point were those pieces of music which many consider Top 40 Steve Salyer was excellent in his singing of Lionel Richie's "Hello," and Becky Benson and Todd

Reagan managed to capture the same feeling in Donna Summer's "Love Has A Mind of Its Own" Music from "Yentl" came to life once more as Jeff Offenberger electrified the audience with "A Piece of the Sky" (no microphone needed here).

If nothing else, Don Ervin deserved an award for style in rendering Billy Joel's "For the Longest Time" with a backup group composed of Jeff Offenberger, Todd Reagan and director Craig Johnson (still in a tuxedo). What the group lacked in mu s ical quality they more than made up for in showmanship One was led to believe Ervin thought he was Billy J oe l. If imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, l would think Mr. Joel w o uld be highly flattered by this.

Summary'? It wa s ce rt a inly entertaining, and for th ose o f you who missed it, you reall y d id mi s s Opus Zero, perhaps not at th e ir best, but at least at their mo st e nt e rtaining.

Culture to be gained at CPB movie

By Tami Lange

Let's face it - Otterbein is not a cheap school. By the time you pay for books to keep you in class and several other confections that keep you out of class, it's difficult to scrounge around to get money for the weekend Naturally, the powers that are here on campus recognize the fact that 75 % of the students are broke by midterm, so they find cheap (meaning free) things for us to do on the weekends.

Usually my position as entertainment editor takes me to cultural events both on campus and in the greater Columbus area In the past two terms 1 have been to faculty recitals, theat e r productions, restaurants. and 10 fashionable pubs at one point during fall term. However, I have never quite seen anything like a night at the CPB movie Eat your heart out Grauman's Chinese Theater

Last week, flyers went out announcing that the Campus Programming Board would be presenting "Tootsie." the 1983 spoof of men and women. actors and actr e sses with Dustin Hoffman starring as both. The fact that I had already seen the movie did not matter. 1 wanted to take in the atmosphere

Assuming that most people would be somewhere else on Saturday night (from what I hear. some people found other activities in the greater Westerille area) 1 trekked do>wn the stairs to the video room (it must ha, ·e a more formal name. but it illudes me) at precisely 8 o'clock. Much to my surprise I found that about 60 other people also had heard about the event,

so I trekked back up th e stairs to get a chair. Those who arri ve d e arly got to sit on couches, love sea t s, a nd even a floor that must have bee n s ofter than the folding chair I ended up with The movie began right on time s o by the time I looked to th e s cr ee n , I had already missed the fir s t te n minutes of the movie

Fortunately, the fir s t te n minutes of the movie were taken up by running credits and giving b ac k g round to Hoffman's charact e r, so I didn't miss much From then on, m ov ie watching became a group effo rt ( n o t unlike the "Rocky Horror Pictu re Show" - just with less rice.)

Considering the pi c tu re was blurred, the sound was fuzz y a nd th e popcorn was stale the nigh t was a t least interesting If the mo v ie beg in s to bore you, you can di screetl y lea n to one side and listen to gossip fr o m the people sitting next to you or yo u can make your own critical comm e nt s about the movie (just loud en o u g h to be appreciated b y the entire a udience or greater portion there of).

By the end of the ev e ning I realized a few very interestin g things. Often times. the title of th e m ov ie is unimportant , people att e nd e d in groups just to have some fun and wa t c h a movie which probably mo s t of them have seen at least once befor e. Occasionally there is bickering or ex ces sive noise, but it is all in fun. P e rh a p s s ometime when you (or your d a t e ) is without the S4.00 it takes to fi g ht th e crowds at Westerville 6. you too ca n take in a CBP movie if not for th e movie at least for the social and cultural experience

1,-------------------1 I Attention: Otterbein Students

By Devonie Verne

The 1984 Greek Week Festivai will start on Monday, April 23 and end on Saturday, April 28.

The chairpersons for the festival are Wendy Jacoby of Epsilon Kappa Tau and Mike Hitt of Sigma Delta Phi.

Jacoby said that this year there are a lot of new ideas that have been added.

Jacoby said that these ideas should add variety, creativity and increase Greek unity. "Overall, this year's Greek Week should limit the competition that has existed in the past," Jacoby added.

To start the Greek Week festivities is a different type of entertainment night. It will be set up similar to the "Gong Show." "This idea should increase entertainment night participation by making it a little less serious," Jacoby said. Entertainment night will be held Monday at 5 p.m. in the Campus Center. Jim LeMaster and Nancy Ray are the co-chairpersons for the entertainment night.

The Greek Week picnic will be at Rockwell I ntei-nationai Park in Whitehall. Food and beverages will be provided. WOBN will be doing the sound. Tickets will be on sale in the Campus Center Monday and Tuesday during the lunch · and dinner hours. Mike Dunn and Devonie Verne are the cochairpersons for the Greek Week p icnic.

The Leadership Workshop will be Wednesday at 6:30 in the Campus Center. Bruce Bailey. attorney at law. and an Otterbein professor will speak on Greek legal affairs at 6:30. At 7:30. Charles Vohs. manager of Bank One will speak on money managcment. At 8:15. Diane Selby, an editor for KKG Key magazine from O.S U. will speak on Greek Unity. Jenni Walsh, Steve

Second place awards were won by Ulery. Rawlings, Mancuso, Barb Simone Mancuso Mallinak and Lucy Henderson. Ozmun and Molly Trittipo tied for third

The Cards dropped both hard fought games of a double-header to Marietta this past Saturday by scores of 3-1 and 11-9. Lack of timely hitting and crucial errors on the Cardinal's part aided the Pioneers to the victories.

In the first game Kirk McDonald (4-2), while pitching with st itches in his hand, kept the Cards in the game until the late innings when a hard hit ground ball deflected off his glove with two Pioneers on base which led to the winning runs for Marietta.

In the nightcap Otterbein jumped to a 6-0 lead only to watch it slip through their fingers. The Cards scattered 9 hits and committed 3 errors through 7 innings which allowed Marietta to come back. Ob Hartman (2-2) suffered the loss in relief.

Coach Fishbaugh still is very optimistic about a possible playoff spot saying, "We don't feel like we're out of it yet, Marietta still has to play tough teams like Wittenberg and Muskingum and also us one more time. Marietta could end up with four conference losses." The Cards' record currently stands at 11-9-1 overall and 4-3 in the conference

On an optimistic note, Jon Mastel the senior shortstop from Millersport leads the Cardinal squad with a .355 average at the plate and a 581 slugging percentage.

The Cards are now forced into a must win situation in all the remaining games. Things don't get any easier for the team who play five games in four days which include Ohio State and Mount Vernon Nazarene away and Eastern Kentucky and a doubleheader with Capital at home on Saturday.
