Closed Too Late

At about 9:30 a.m. Friday morning it started to snow. Thirty-five mph swirling winds accompanied the snow and despite the local forecast, no one expected the snow to continue for the next 36 hours. Around 11 a.m., I drove with a friend to the communication building and we were already sliding.

MRSA Strikes Again

Although the name is bandied around campus a lot, does anyone actually know what MRSA is? Well boys and girls, MRSA is an acronym for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. It is an infection, it is not treatable by most antibiotics and it is incredibly difficult to say three times fast.

Theatre and English Unite

Friday night, in the middle of a snow storm, Uptown Market hosted a poetry reading titled "They Become the Ocean: Poems & Monologues for the Stage." Around campus it was referred to as "The Poetry Extravaganza." Student actors from Otterbein College's theatre department read the works of selected poetry students who have taken ENGL 260 and ENGL 360 throughout the past four years.

Baseball Season Coming Around

With something close to 100 feet of snow around and finals approaching quickly, it seems nothing can lift the spirits of Otterbein students. Ah, but don't worry. Spring is just around the corner and that means two things: warmer weather and Otterbein baseball.

The Buck Stops Here

At the end of one of the greatest movies ever made, "American History X," the main character is writing a paper for school, and he writes "My brother always told me to end a paper with a quote, because someone has already said it better than you ever could.

Academic Interest Day Put on Ice

Academic Interest Day (AID) was cancelled last weekend on account of the snowy weather and will not be rescheduled this year. AID is a visitation day hosted by the college toward the end of winter quarter each year. It is exclusively for prospective students who have already been admitted to the college for the upcoming academic year.

Wii Love 'Smash'

Last Saturday was a big day for most people on Otterbein's Campus. Ask anyone what they did and it will certainly involve digging cars out of snow, deciding it wasn't worth it to trek to work or just hanging around and enjoying the lazy snow day. For me, it was a little different.

Cast Kicks Up Heels on Snow Day

Members of the 2008 Dance Concert followed the golden rule of show business last weekend despite the arctic blast. As always, the show must go on. At Otterbein it went on and on and on and on as the dancers performed four times over the weekend. Due to the weather, the Friday night performance was cancelled.

Ohio Chooses Clinton, McCain

In Ohio's primary election, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton gained a crucial victory over Sen. Barack Obama. Four million voters - half of the state's registered total and a record high - turned out to polling places despite rain and near-freezing temperatures.

Obama Finds Unlikely "Support" Among White Supremacists

Despite his recent losses, Obama is still leading in delegates late in the primary election race. This obviously makes him the most viable black presidential candidate in American history. On the other side of the coin, many who know me have been subjected to my morbid fascination with the American radical far right.

Sarah Says

If I've had a mission these past four years here at Otterbein, it would have been to help give an empowered voice to the younger, less vocal, queer population of this campus. I wanted so much to be the voice who spoke up for anyone who ever felt uncomfortable in their dorms because of their bigoted hallmates, or who ever sat quiet and nervous in the back of the classroom because of homophobic classmates or professors.

More Novice than 'Pro'

"Semi-Pro" is probably one of the more apt film titles this year. Everything about the film is done semi-well. It's not surprising to see star Will Ferrell return to the role that serves him best: a cocksure guy in a position of minor power who tends to not realize how unimportant he really is.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor: The COMM 415 class would like to thank the staff of the Tan & Cardinal for helping with our "Just Vote" campaign. The goal of our campaign was to encourage more college students to participate in the election process. Our generation represents one-fourth of the electoral vote and continues to grow.

Cheaper Books to the Rescue

The average college student spends approximately $900 a year on textbooks. The estimated price for Otterbein students is even higher at $960, according to a page on the school's intranet. Luckily for students, new legislation passed by the House of Representatives last month will work to offset inflated textbook prices.

Senior Send-off

Women's basketball head coach Connie Richardson might feel like she's been riding the Millennium Force roller coaster. "Consistency is very crucial in this game and I didn't think some individuals were very consistent. Therefore, as a team, we weren't consistent," said the 17th-year head coach.

Favorite Four Bid Fond Farewell

With sports journalism comes the throwing aside of fan-hood. Impartiality is the name of the game. Choose no sides, give the facts - who, what, where, when and why the heck should anyone care - and go on your merry way. That's a little too straight-laced for me, and most of the time sports give us zero enjoyment unless we have a rooting interest.
