Letter from the President - Otterbein President. Thomas J. Kerr addresses new students and extends his wishes for the new academic year. -Page 3
Opinion 1 - The Tan and Cardinal is known as the student newspaper of Otterbein College for two reasons. It is run by students-all writing, editing, and photography is student-generated. It is also aimed at the students. Interested students are recognized to help publish the paper and all are
asked to patronize Tan and Cardinal advertisers. Opinion 2 - A new year means beginnings and endings. Where each touches us is examined. -Page 2
What's hot and what's not - Wearing little animals on your shirts is hot. Wearing little animal hairs on your shirts is not. The year's first shot at photo journalism focuses on what is cool in student life.

Weekend: "What do I do now?"Freshmen spending their first weekend at Otterbein have one of two choices. They can either sit inside and by hypnotized by Doc, Julie, Gopher, and little pygmies yelling "de plane," or they can take advantage of campus programming offered. Pizza, a luau, air hockey, music, and cinematic chills can be found by checking the weekend activities calendar. Bring your own poi.

President Kerr welcomes new students
Dear New Student:
Welcome to Otterbein! The College offers outstanding educational opportunities. Stretch yourself through choices in unfamiliar areas of the curriculum. Participate in the intellectual, spiritual, cultural, social, political and physical activities available. Explore. Encounter. Enjoy.
While we have much to offer you, you have much to offer us. Each year new students - freshmen and transfers - represent nearly one-third of the student body. You bring fresh insight, different needs and talents and new personality and energy. Together we build a new community sharing our common commitment to learning and Otterbein.
Manage your time carefully. Discipline yourself. Maximize your opportunities. Never forget that learning is both individual and shared. Your greatest growth and satisfaction will come as you share with others, contributing to their learning and to building the Otterbein community.
You have my best wishes for enjoyable and productive years at Otterbein.
Expectantly,
Thomas J. Kerr, IV President

"The Affairs of Anatol" (shown above) is just one of the five plays presented in the Summer Theater this past season. Richard Buckley, Ed Christman and Tonye Patano portray this memorable scene that almost succeeded in putting Anatol in his place.
The other plays presented this summer were "California Suite," "Godspell," '"Romatic Comedy,'' and "You Can't Take It With You."
According to Dr. Charles Dodrill, chairman of the theater department, the attendance at the Summer Theater was good. "The turnout was the best it had ever been," said Dodrill.

Guide crucial to freshmen Events planned for new students
Question: What's the best way to look like a first-term freshman without really trying?
Answer: Aside from the beanies that are required of all first-term freshmen, (whatta ya mean Admissions didn't tell you about the beanies?) the surest way to tip-off upperclassmen that you're a frosh is to show ignorance of the campus and the Westerville area·.
