With the new policy that students must live on campus until their senior year, Otterbein

is delaying the education of their students. Not what they learn in

the classroom, but what they learn by living on their own outside of

the dorm womb. When students live in the dorms, they are living on their own in a sense, but so many different things are taken care of that they don’t really learn how to live on their own. Having freshmen or sopho-mores living in the dorms is by far the smartest thing to do. It makes sense that it’s mandatory. Moving out of their house and living alone at 18 can be daunting, so it only makes sense to take smaller steps to living on their own. However, once students hit their junior year, they are usually mature enough to begin living on their own. By forcing juniors to live on campus so Otterbein can fill up the dorms, the college is rob-bing students of both a learning experience and a fun time. Living off campus can be fun. Whether it’s in an apartment or in a house, you start to learn a lot more about yourself and

Next year, Otterbein will require all juniors to live on campus, which will rob them of key life experiences.Dorm life not for upperclassmen

others when you move out of the dormitories. Living in the dorms is cer-tainly easier, and it does have some advantages over living off campus. You don’t have to worry

about paying for utilities, you have all your meals taken care of, and you can usually find friends in the rooms around you. However, you don’t get a sense of your own space. You

certainly don’t learn anything about living on your own. No bills, no cooking, and you don’t have too much to keep clean. Living off campus can be a serious challenge for some

people, but at the same time, it’s probably going to be your best memories of college, provided you don’t completely hate your roommates. The first year I lived off cam-pus, I was in a house on Knox Street with four of my friends, and a fifth friend who slept on the couch. It was crowded, loud, there were piles of dirty dishes everywhere, and it was by far the best time I ever had at Otter-bein. It wasn’t easy to live there. Having to worry about utilities was a problem during the winter. We kept the house at a frigid temperature but our heating bill was still astronomical, but I learned more about living away from home in that year than I did in all the time I lived in the dorms. It certainly won’t be all bad for the juniors, some will get lucky enough to live in the Com-mons apartments, which are similar to living off campus but with some of the nicer features of the dorms. A lot of juniors will get stuck living in the residence halls, and they will be delaying their knowl-edge of how to live off campus, just so Otterbein can fill up all the dorms they built.

Dorms not equipped to fight back

The majority of the residence halls on campus are without fire sprinkler systems. Halls that have been recently built, including both sets of Commons Apartments, DeVore Hall and 25 W. Home St. are the only ones that are equipped. According to Mindy Reckart, RA of Mayne Hall, “Sprinkler systems can not stop fires completely, but it would be nice to have them to help with the slowing down of a fire if there were to ever be one.” According to Tracy Benner, director of Residence Life, Otterbein has not experienced any major fire situations in the past year, except for burning food, especially in the Commons.

Most of the fires that do take place are from hair dryers and straightening irons. Benner said students have been asked to not bring those items into the halls. Even though not all dorms are equipped with the systems, Rachel Lichtcsien, senior education major, said if installed, systems would help prevent the fire from spreading through a building and the fire would be handled sooner. Benner advocates that other methods are more beneficial when dealing with fire safety. “The earlier detection one has and notification of a fire, and the quicker one gets out of the building is what saves lives,” Benner said. “The way the sprinklers work, they are not activated as quickly as smoke detectors because they are activated primarily by heat. I think smoke detectors are

the most sure way of alerting students to a fire as soon as possible so they can exit the building quickly and safely.” “Otterbein College has invested heavily in fire alarm systems as the first line of defense,” David Bell, director of Physical Plant and Telecommunications, said. According to Benner, Otterbein is always striving to comply with the current state fire code. Last Tuesday, Otterbein Security teamed up with the Westerville Division of Fire in conducting a simulated fire burn in the Campus Center West parking lot. Officer James Teegarden, head of the fire simulation, felt it was important to educate students of the dangers of dorm fires. “It really gave students an understanding of just how fast

a fire can spread,” Teegarden said. “Other schools will have simulations comparing a dorm room with and without a sprinkler system to show how the sprinkler controls the fire and how long it takes to put out the fire.” Kayleigh Hanlin, junior public relations major, who attended the simulation, feels sprinklers should be installed in all of the dorm rooms. “Watching the simulation I felt, even though it was outside, a fire can really spread that fast and if sprinklers could defuse the fire faster and save students’ valuable items and potentially their lives, then I think they should be installed,” Hanlin said. “State building code only applies to new or remodeled buildings,” said Inspector Doug Arter of the Westerville Fire Department. “Buildings that

have passed inspection are allowed to remain in use until they are modified.” “The installation of the smoke detection and sprinkler systems are both driven by the Ohio Building Code. It is the owner’s responsibility to maintain and test these systems to ensure reliability and code conformity,” Bell said. “This is done on a scheduled basis by our Security and Service departments and an outside certified fire alarm testing company.” From here on out, once a new residence hall is built on campus, the college has to install sprinkler systems. As renovations are being made, systems will be installed as required by law.t&c

WHAT’S YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH BANNER?

& Say What?

The transition from CardinalWeb to Self-Service Banner happened what seemed to be overnight. And Otter-bein’s campus has mixed feelings on the subject. Some students, like junior public relations major Brittany Edwards, are experiencing diffi culties in registering for classes. “Getting signed on took forever. Then I had problems getting registered for classes when Banner said I didn’t have a prerequisite I needed,” Edwards said. Because of the mix-up, Edwards registered for a class she already took. According to Michael Boehm, in-terim chief information offi cer for the IT department, however, Banner is the “number one highest-ranked system.” “Banner implements the best prac-tices. It allows a single point of entry, and it’s accessible,” Boehm said. When Boehm began at Otterbein on Aug. 17, he already had experience in data migration under his belt. Boehm said the IT department is taking “great pains to convert historical data. If you’re having problems, you should call the Help Desk.” Sophomore theatre design/technol-ogy major, Lizzi Angelone also had trouble scheduling classes. “First I couldn’t get signed on to Banner. So I went to the Registrar’s

Offi ce to get signed on, but they couldn’t register me either. By the time I got on, which was the week before school, I had to be waitlisted for all my INST classes. After they switched me to Banner, I couldn’t sign on to Car-dinalWeb either. So, I couldn’t check what I needed or anything,” Angelone said. “I got an email saying ‘you have been added to the classes you were waitlisted,’ so I thought that meant all of them. I went and bought all of my books for my classes, went to class the fi rst day of school, then found out later that day that I wasn’t actually in any of those classes. “I had to go to my adviser and just pick out an INST class, which was as-tronomy. So I had all of my books that I already paid for, then I had to buy the astronomy book that I didn’t have the money for,” Angelone said. “Any time you bring signifi cant change, in many cases, it’s uncomfort-able,” Boehm said. Like many others, Edwards said that the new Banner system was “thrown” at Otterbein. “There should have been more of a heads up to let us know, and they should have said why we’re switching,” Edwards said. Because Boehm was not an employee at Otterbein at the time the switch was decided, he could not com-ment on specifi c reasons Otterbein would switch.

Boehm said that communication is one area that the IT department is try-ing to improve. “We’re working to improve com-munication from the IT department to campus. We’re planning town hall meetings that will address specifi c top-ics like Banner,” Boehm said. “From our perspective, our number one customers are students.” Whether there was enough notice or not, Anne Sillato receptionist of Student Affairs, found it easy to transi-tion. Sillato, who worked with the Stu-dent Information System (SIS) for 12 years, began using Banner the day she returned from summer break. “There are still some things I need to learn, but I am very comfortable with it and feel it is very user friendly. I can get a student’s complete schedule for the quarter I am seeking. The pro-fessors’ names are available immedi-ately, and I don’t have to go to another screen to get them.” Although Edwards had some dif-fi culty with Banner, she said that “Ban-ner was better in showing the amount of classes that were being offered and were available.” In some cases, like Edwards’, Ban-ner is not fully updated. The Registrar’s Offi ce advises students to check their degree audit in CardinalWeb and check off any classes they are currently tak-ing or registered for.

NATIONAL STATETax cut could end early Governor Ted Strickland proposed delaying the fi nal year of a state income tax cut. There was to be a 4.2 percent income tax cut as a part of a fi ve-year plan ap-proved by Ohio Congress beginning in 2005. According to the Dispatch, Strickland said the delay is in response to the budget gap caused by opposition to his plan to put video slot machines at horserac-

ing tracks. Though Strickland said he is abandoning his slot machine plan, he released an analysis showing that if noth-ing replaces his slot machine plan, Ohio education could face cuts of up to $2.3 billion.t&c

This month, history was made in the Ohio House. On Sept. 15, a bill that pro-

hibits discrimination of employment or housing based on an individual’s sexual identity

passed 56-38 and is now going to the

Ohio Senate. This marks the first time that a law acknowledging the rights of those with a particular sexual orientation was passed by a chamber of Ohio Legislature. Needless to say, the pass-ing of this bill has caused some controversy. Supporters of the bill state that such regulations are neces-sary based simply on matters of equality, while opponents believe the bill discriminates against those who disapprove of such a lifestyle. However, the bill could en-counter opposition in the GOP-controlled state senate. President Bill M. Harris (R-Ashland) has already stated that although the bill would be heard, he does not believe the matter requires specific legislation, and adequate protections for gay, les-bian and transgendered Ohioans are already in place. While 20 states, more than 400 Fortune 500 companies and 17 Ohio cities have gay anti-discrimination laws, I have to ask, “Why has it taken so long for our state’s government to follow suit?” The bill was originally proposed in 2002 by Rep. Dan Stewart (D-Columbus). Its pass-ing in the Ohio House in Sep-tember marks its fourth attempt at passing through legislative chambers. The Ohio Legislature also voted to ban same-sex unions in 2004, barring state agen-cies from granting benefits to domestic partners. It appears Ohio is moving at a slow pace to guarantee equal rights to those of differing sexual orientations.

While I recognize that the passing of this bill marks a great turning point for the legal guarantees of all gay, lesbian and transgendered citizens of Ohio, I still see a problem here. Shouldn’t individuals already have these rights that are being protected by this bill? In the Declaration of In-dependence it states that “All men…have certain inherent

rights…namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possess-ing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety.” Well, seeing as one of our inherent rights is the ability to acquire and possess property, shouldn’t one be able to do so without discrimination? And is one’s employment not a means to pursue a life of hap-

piness or safety? And aren’t all these efforts made in an attempt to attain an enjoyment of life and liberty? Well, I’m glad it’s finally begun to happen in Ohio. Let’s hope it doesn’t just stop there. t&c

Cardinals turn up the heat on Polar BearsDespite Ohio Northern scoring 19 points in the second half, Otterbein’s late fumble recovery sealed the upset.

BY DOMINIC PORRETTAStaff Writer

PHOTO BY ED SYGUDAPICK SIX: Sophomore linebacker Shane Centers celebrates with teammates after returning an interception 36 yards for a touchdown against Ohio Northern Saturday.

Any nerves sophomore quarterback Austin Schlosser may have had heading into his first collegiate start Saturday against ninth-ranked Ohio Northern quickly disappeared. After the Polar Bears jumped out to a 3-0 lead on their first possession, Otterbein answered with a Schlosser-led four play, 69-yard drive to jump on top, 7-3. “I was nervous starting from Monday,” Schlosser said. “But all my teammates, they said they had confidence in me...and we came out here, and I could tell they all had my back.” Schlosser had big shoes to fill, taking over the offense in place of graduate Jack Rafferty,

who injured a finger on his throwing hand in a victory over Muskingum Sept. 19. “First college start, had never taken a snap in a college football game, he was just tremendous,” head coach Joe Loth said. The quarterback completed 10 of 15 passes for 157 yards and a touchdown pass to senior Eric Yates, while rushing for 72 yards with a 2-yard touchdown. Junior running back Colton Coy rushed for 128 yards on 27 carries and scored two touchdowns. “That’s a typical game for Colton...He had an outstanding game, and that’s the kind of running back he is.” On the receiving end, senior Ryan Rowley eclipsed the century mark with 111 yards on seven receptions.

Ohio Northern led 10-7 at the end of the first, but the Cardinals scored 28 points in the second quarter taking a 35-17 lead into halftime. As the drizzle began to turn into a steady rain in the second half, the Polar Bears began to claw their way back into the game. After receiving in the second half, the Cardinals mounted a nine-minute drive down the Northern eight-yard line before Schlosser threw his sole interception in the end zone. Northern quarterback Kyle Simmons then added 6- and 5-yard touchdown runs in the third and fourth quarters bringing the score to 35-29. Both point-after attempts failed for the Polar Bears. The Cardinals were able to

drive into Polar Bear territory to set up a 36-yard field goal by David Brewer. The Polar Bears quickly put together a five-play, 63-yard drive, allowing only 1:31 to tick off the clock. The late drives by Northern raised concerns for the coaching staff. “For us to be consistently better, we’ve got to play better defense,” Loth said. Instead of going for the onside kick, they gave the ball back to the Cardinals, who lost a fumble with 1:44 left in the game. Northern got a first down before fumbling the ball back to Otterbein with 46 seconds left. The Cardinals successfully ran out the clock. “I think everyone just wanted

to win this game so bad with all the hype they had on them,” Schlosser said. The upset clinched Otterbein’s third win of the season and second in conference play. “I was just extremely proud of our team,” Loth said. “We faced a tremendous amount of adversity in losing our quarterback, our starting middle linebacker; we’ve lost a couple (defensive) ends. A lot of people didn’t give us a whole lot of chances to win on Saturday, and we really came out and we played well.” Next, the Cardinals host OAC- foe Heidelberg for the Rhine River Cup Saturday on Hall of Fame Day. Kickoff is set for 1:30 p.m. t&c
