What will you miss about quarters and what are you looking forward to with semesters?

As conversion approaches, the T&C staff embraces the forthcoming semester transition It’s time. After a year of fl oating ques-tions like “Will I graduate on time?,” “How many INST classes do I need now?” and “What in the world is a J-term?,” it’s time to say goodbye to the last quarter of our Otterbein lives. The school year will start Aug. 29 and end the second week in May. We now have a J-term, where students can take one class every day for three weeks. But while we’ve accepted semester transition as an inevita-bility and are looking forward to some aspects of semesters, we will still miss some characteristics of the quarter system.

Things we will miss:• Those perfect 10 weeks. Not only was 10 weeks easy to keep track of, it was also enough time to take solace in if you ended up in a class you hated. “It’s only 10 weeks” will no longer be a mantra. From now on once week 10 rolls around, the thought of one more whole month will be agonizing.

• Spring break being at the end of the quarter. One week in the middle is just enough time for us to forget about anything that we’ve learned, and it served as a great way to collect our-selves again for the next quarter. It may also, however, come as a nice break during those long blocks of classes in spring semester.

• Three quarters, meaning three opportunities a year to take classes. With semesters,

we won’t have the opportunities to try out as many differ-ent classes. One extra quarter a year means at least three extra classes, which means 12 extra classes by the end of four years. These classes would most likely be electives, which are a great way to break up our more diffi cult courses.

Things we are look-ing forward to:• More time to spread

out the syllabus. It can be diffi cult for profes-sors to balance the amount of content in a quarter, so we’re often scrambling to get everything done. Hopefully with semesters we will be able to pace ourselves and our work.

• Getting out of school in May. When the weather’s nice, it’s nearly impossible to think about homework and due dates. With semesters we will be able to enjoy the prime part of the year longer.

• Being on the same schedule as our peers. Semesters will have us on the same schedule as most of the other schools in the area. Ohio State University and Ohio University will not be switching to semesters until next year, though.

• J-term. It stinks that our six-week winter break is gone. But this new addition to the schedule could be an excellent opportunity to take electives, to study abroad or to take out those pesky Senior Year Experience classes that no one wants to take for a whole semester.

So, we raise our (empty) glasses (dry campus) to quar-

Otterbein bids farewell to quarters

“The long winter break, and if I hated/disliked a class, it was over quick. And I would enjoy getting out early for the nice weather.”

–Seth Crawfordreturning senior nursing

“I like that quarters give me the opportunity to take a lot of different classes, but I’m looking forward to having a longer period of time to explore a class.”

–Chris Banksfreshmantheatre, creative writing

“I’m going to miss tak-ing a larger variety of classes, and I’m looking forward to the lack of the winter-spring quarter ‘sprint.’”

t&c

t&cPETE CLACK IS A FRESHMAN UNDECIDED MAJOR AND A STAFF WRITER FOR THE t&c.

An unoffi cial racial and reli-gious profi ling aspect has been added to the heightened airport security that’s been in place since Sept. 11, 2001. I would like to be able to say that in over nine years since the terror-ist attacks on the Twin Towers the profi ling has diminished, but that is not true. Instead, the screening has become more covert as the Transportation Security Admin-istration attempts to deny any prejudices it may have against certain ethnicities and religions. Now, I like to think that I’m fairly familiar with airport secu-rity, seeing as I fl ew on a monthly basis from third-12th grade.

When it comes to racial and religious profi ling, the fi rst cul-prits are the TSA agents. They spend their days guiding you on your hour-long journey to walk through a single metal detector, rifl ing through your bags and unfolding everything it took you three hours to pack and inspecting your driver’s license thoroughly so they can make some snide comment about the photo. Don’t get me wrong, I am glad they take the time to screen everyone to ensure that my plane won’t explode midair. I can’t help but notice, however, how much more in-depth the searches of those who are Muslim and those who look remotely Middle Eastern are. Seriously, next time you are at the airport, grab a coffee and sit by security and watch how many

Middle Eastern people or those wearing religious garb get pulled aside for an extra pat-down or a bag search. And the last time I fl ew, as I was getting on the plane, a TSA agent pulled me aside to check my bag. He unzipped my bag and started pulling out my books on Islam. No joke, they were the only luggage I was carrying on the plane. By the time he was done, I had four TSA agents watch-ing the search, and they were all giving me questioning looks. Perhaps this was because of my unusual luggage contents or the fact that they presumed that I practice Islam and were confused because I did not look like the stereotypical Muslim. They then asked to see my photo identifi ca-tion, which was unusual because they didn’t check it against my

boarding pass or the in-flight roster. I handed it to them saying the books were for a school project, and as soon as those magic words left my mouth, they packed up my bag and handed back my ID after giving it a quick glance. By the time they had fi n-ished with me, two other people had been searched and sent on the plane and they had started inspecting a third. So thanks, TSA agents, for making me feel religiously profi led and discrimi-nated against. And then there are the civil-ians at the airport. There was one time that I was on a plane shortly after 9/11, and a family requested a new fl ight once it saw that there was a family of Muslims on our plane as well.

Now, the weary civilians who buy into the stereotypes give those who they suspect to be Muslim a wide berth. In both the waiting area at the gate and on the plane, I’ve noticed that the open seats are around those same people. TSA can attempt to deny its profi ling all that it wants, but the proof is in the way that it treats those whom it suspects to be Muslim. If America ever hopes to overcome this harmful prejudice, it needs to start at how they are treated by government employees. The more people that see them getting pulled aside at airports and receiving an extra thorough pat-down, the more people will continue to buy into the bias.

Westerville was rated No. 15 out of the 100 best places to live in America in Money Magazine in 2009. So next time you’re sitting in the library StumblingUpon just for the air conditioning or performing a robot monologue into your fan to pass the time, try out some of these fun ways to get away.

Serendipity Ice Cream & Coffee House – 33 E. College Ave. Go for a stroll through Uptown Westerville and grab a decadent panini and a cold glass of Kool-Aid at Serendipity. On previous visits to the small sandwich shop, my friends and family enjoyed the calm, homey feel. With the CD-deco-rated tables and the order slips you fi ll out to customize your sandwich, you can enjoy a nice meal and the inviting atmo-sphere.

Foul Play Mystery Book-shop – 27 E. College Ave. After you’re done feasting at Serendipity, visit Foul Play Mystery Bookshop to pick up a mystery novel to read while you’re at the beach. The shelf-lined walls of the bookstore are fi lled with mysteries and thrillers and also the bookshop cat who lounges around the shop. Trinkets for the cat lover in your family can be found sprinkled throughout as well. The last time I stopped in to look at the selection, the owner invited my friends and me out to the back porch for snacks and a book signing with a visiting author.

A Gal Named Cinda Lou – 20 N. State St. If cats aren’t your thing, then stop by to see if the lovable Boston terrier that frequently visits A Gal Named Cinda Lou is in. The shop on State Street is fi lled with vintage clothes as well as fun knickknacks and decora-tions. The T-shirts designed by

the owner’s daughter are truly pieces of art. You can stock up on anything from wall ornaments made from open books to a set of vin-tage cups. If you’re looking for inexpensive decorations for your

dorm or apartment, stop in and use the Otterbein discount.

Highlands Park Aquatic Center – 245 S. Spring Road Have an adventure away from campus by heading out for some

fun in the sun next to the pool. You can visit Westerville’s newest best kept secret, the Highlands Park Aquatic Center.

The rain that Westerville has been experiencing the past few weeks held up construc-tion slightly. Pajk said, “When they would get out there to pour concrete, it would downpour, and we didn’t want to jeopar-

dize quality just to save a few days.” Pajk said that he is hop-ing that the contractors factored in enough days into the origi-nal schedule to include the recent rain. West Main

Street was the path that most students took to get to the Art and Communication Building. With the bridge being im-passable, students have had to resort to a detour around the bridge. Emily Meese, sophomore undecided major, said, “It will be better for the environment because people will not have to drive to the comm. building anymore.” The bridge has been out since spring 2010.

Construction of the Main Street bridge’s superstructure, or top of the bridge, is under way, according to the Franklin County Engineer’s Offi ce. “We’re pretty close to being on schedule,” Jim Pajk, Franklin County deputy engineer said. “You should see a lot more things happen-ing here in the next couple of weeks.” The bridge is scheduled to be completed in August. “Hopefully it will be com-pleted around the third week of August, before Otterbein’s classes start back,” Pajk said. The plan for the bridge was to construct a new con-crete and steel bridge with a modern-style arch, decorative railing and street lighting. “They’re currently still pouring the superstructure, but they are almost to the point of forming the deck on top of the bridge,” Pajk said. t&c

new Gal in town: McGillin comes from a small school in Oregon called Linfield College.

Otterbein’s fi rst weeks under its new semester system will be guided by a new face after a months-long search. Victoria McGillin was an-nounced as the new provost and vice president for academic affairs last Friday, according to an Otterbein news release. McGillin comes after resign-ing suddenly July 1, 2010, as the vice president for academic affairs and dean of the faculty at Linfi eld College in Oregon. McGillin served for only two years in this position. According to an article from the Linfi eld Review, Linfi eld Col-lege’s student newspaper, McGil-lin told the college that she be-lieved her resignation would help promote greater trust in “shared governance” at the school. Shared governance is a key te-net of higher education in which decision-making responsibilities are divided among faculty, ad-ministrators and trustees, accord-ing to the American Association of University Professors. Kelley Hungerford, former editor-in-chief of the Linfi eld Review, said she didn’t know much about McGillin’s resigna-tion because many administrative dealings at the college were kept “under wraps.”

The T&C could not reach McGillin or Otterbein Presi-dent Kathy Krendl for a comment in time for deadline. In the same article, Linfi eld College President Thomas Hellie said that although McGillin’s sud-den departure was shocking, it showed her willingness to put the needs of the institution fi rst. According to Hellie, McGil-lin created strong relationships with faculty and staff and is someone who will be missed. McGillin will visit Otterbein’s campus in July and begin serving as provost and vice president for academic affairs on Aug. 1, before the school year begins on Aug. 29. Krendl said McGillin will bring impressive experience to the table that will help in dealing with the challenges and oppor-tunities the university will face in the coming school years. “I look forward to her leader-ship and direction as well as her

knowledge about the changing landscape of higher education,” Krendl said. “She will work with us in shaping our future as an institution that offers a distinc-tive educational experience for our students.” McGillin said she is excited to become a part of a community whose passion and excitement impressed her.” t&c

LINDSAY PAULSEN IS A FRESHMAN JOURNALISM AND EQUINE FACILITY MANAGEMENT MAJOR AND A STAFF WRITER FOR THE t&c.

The only thing that kept me chugging along through my last days of high school was my offi -cial countdown to summer. As it is now week 10 of my fresh-man year of college, I have yet another countdown in the works: the fi rst day of sophomore year. Just seeing my roommate gradually start to pack up her stuff has already got me feeling nostalgic. As fi nals are approaching, there are certainly more productive things that I should be doing with my time rather than dwelling on my nostalgic emotions, but I decided that those same nostalgic feelings

cient if you attempt to use it as a form of air condition-ing in your steamy residence hall.

2. The best invest-ment I made was in towel wrap with reliable Velcro attachments that guaranteed it would remain fastened from the walk from the dorm room to the bathroom.

3. The library ex-ists for a reason.

4. You will not meet the love of your life at a frat party. Unless you know some secret that I don’t.

5. You may laugh at the email you receive winter quarter with the subject titled “Walking Advisory” ... but you just wait until you discover that you’re no Michelle Kwan.

6. Command Strips are nifty doodads to have on hand. They can support surprising amounts of weight, but the company conveniently didn’t mention that they can also tear the plaster off the walls faster than you can snap your fi ngers.

can be productive as long as they’re refl ective. They say that hindsight is 20/20. While I still beg to differ, most aspects of college life are a whole lot more clear to me than they were on move-in day. In said hindsight, there really isn’t much that I would change about the way that this year treated me. However, if I were to have the chance to do it all over again, there are a few pieces of knowl-edge that I would impart upon myself before I moved in.

1. The fridge does not need to remain stocked all of the time. Not only are weekly grocery shopping trips dangerous for your bank account, they’re also damaging to your waistline. This same fridge will also be insuffi -

No change for fall athletesSemester conversion brings nothing new to fall athletes’ summer

two-a-days: Athletes of the fall will be attending camp on schedule and may benefit from the shorter length.

BY JORDAN LABATTESports Editor

Fall student athletes will be feeling nothing new regarding the short summer break and quick return to school that is coming along with Otterbein’s semester conversion. “For student athletes, the summer is the exact same,” head football coach Joe Loth said. “The average student is going to have the same summer as (fall athletes) have had for the last 20 years.” Under Otterbein’s quarter system, school started in early September and ended early June, but athletes have never had a solid three-month summer break. Fall athletes typically arrive early to mid-August to begin their camps in preparation for the oncoming season. Preseason length during August varies among the core fall sports but always leads right into the start of a new school year. However, this year school will resume Aug. 29, when preseason camp is usually still in session. “The week before the season is the same. We just have that one week before school starts that really we don’t have a game that week, so it’s what we call an NFL week,” Loth said. “We can really work on football but (it) also allows our younger guys to

go to orientation and miss prac-tices and miss meetings without a lot of ramifi cations, so it’s nice that way.” Semester conversion does little to the veteran fall athletes and their usual summer plans. As for the incoming freshmen, it may cause some confusion.

Freshmen that move right onto the varsity team might lose their chances for starting spots or role players because of class and early fall orientation activi-ties. “ I have been lucky it’s only been juniors and seniors, so at that point they don’t feel as cheated out of practice … because I think as a freshman, missing practice feels like the end of the world because you’re competing for a starting spot,” head volleyball coach Monica McDonald said.

Those players who have been in their respected programs for more than a season might feel the strain of class schedules and maintaining a solid academic record while still being competi-tive on the fi eld or court. “We haven’t had any issues of that in terms of other kids getting mad that other kids are missing practice and still start-ing in the game the next day or something like that,” McDonald said. The conversion to semesters and the shorter preseason camps may actually have a positive ef-fect. Loth said, “ I think it be-comes staler for our guys on quarters, and I think on semes-ters our guys will be a little bit fresher at the mid to end of the season.” Fall semester begins on Aug. 29. Women’s soccer, football and volleyball open up their season the fi rst weekend of the fall semester, while men’s soccer will have preseason matches begin-ning Aug. 22. t&c

thursday, june 2, 2011Tan & Cardinal12 sportsSoccer twins look back on first year at OtterbeinWhether on the fi eld or off the fi eld, competition is a recipe for success for twins Tyler and Dylan Stegall

BY MIKE CIRELLICopy Editor

pHoto by kristen sappkickin’ around: Identical twins Dylan and Tyler Stegall are alike in many ways, often confusing teammates and acquaintances.

They’ve got the same mohawks. The same piercings. The same athletic attire. And, unless you look really closely, the same face. Freshmen Dylan and Tyler Stegall are about as identical as identical twins can get. “Sometimes people say I’m nicer than Dylan,” Tyler said. “I don’t know if I’m nicer, I think it’s just Dylan’s pretty blunt, and maybe some of the things he says can come off as mean.” It always takes at least a couple days before an acquaintance can tell the two apart. Even their coaches and teammates at Otterbein initially called them by their last names, their jersey numbers or simply “Twin.” The brothers have been playing on the same soccer team since fourth grade. They also took the same classes throughout high school and maintained the same high GPA — that is, until Tyler took an extra class and bumped his up by .005. “Everything is a little competition,” Dylan said. “I think it’s made us better overall, just because we always have some-one there who pushes us to do our best.”

Both twins constantly motivate each other to improve. Sometimes this motiva-tion comes from one fi rmly telling the oth-er he’s slacking off. Other times it comes from not wanting to lose to the other one. In this way, they maintain a sort of symbiotic relationship, constantly depend-ing on the other one to elevate their own individual standards. “I think there’s a level of understanding between twins that you don’t get between other people,” head soccer coach Gerry D’Arcy said. “They know how each are going to move on the fi eld, they know each other’s preferences and then they have that extra ingredient of being twins. They know what each other is about, how they will react in certain situations.” Tyler said, “We compete with each other to a certain extent. But as far as playing in actual games outside of practice, I think we both want the same thing — and that’s to win. We try and do the best to ensure we’re both performing at the highest level.” The twins inherited this skill from their dad. “He was the same way,” Tyler said. “He always pushed us to be the best that we could, so we push each other quite often.” Figuratively and literally, as it turns out. The two don’t frequently fi ght with each

other, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t hap-pened once or twice. “It had all been building up,” Tyler said. “We were aggravated at the team, it wasn’t a good practice, one of us made a mistake and called the other out on it. … I wouldn’t necessarily call it a fi stfi ght; it was more a wrestling match.”

Dylan said, “It had to be broken up, and we were sent home after that.” Each twin is able to predict where the other will be on the fi eld at any given time. Though one may be tempted to call it twintuition, Dylan and Tyler both said such perception isn’t any dif-ferent than that of team-mates who have played together for a long time. “A successful, really

good team always knows what each other is going to do, they know each other well, and that’s already tied in with Tyler and I,” Dylan said. “We know each other like the back of our hands because we’ve been with each other our entire lives.” Dylan can think of times when he could count on Tyler to be exactly where he needs him to be, but he can also think of times when he could count on other team-mates for the same thing. In the fall, the soccer team will try to avenge last season’s 3-14-2 record. It might have a shot at the OAC title this

year if each player sharpens his individual strengths over summer, Dylan said. Tyler said, “Once we get our feet wet in the conference tournament, maybe in the next couple years, we can think about winning the conference tournament and getting into the NCAA tournament.” Soccer aside, there are some key differ-ences between the two. Tyler plays guitar, for example. “I love playing guitar almost too much,” he said. “I don’t need anybody to listen, I don’t care if I’m bad or good — it’s just something I enjoy to do.” Their majors are different, too. Dylan is majoring in sports management and wants to be a coach when he’s older. On the other hand, Tyler, who loves numbers, is a busi-ness major and hopes to work in an offi ce. They don’t know if their different career paths will keep them living in the same town, though they’d like to live relatively close. “You always have someone there for you,” Tyler said. “He’s like a best friend and he’s always there. I’ve never felt (lonely). It’s defi nitely a blessing.” Dylan said, “He’s been such an impor-tant part of my life. I don’t know what I would do without him. Obviously, I’m going to have to live without him, and I’m able to do that completely. But it’s nice to have him around, someone that’s always there, that knows you up and down, that knows if something’s wrong.” t&c

“They know each other’s preferences, and then they have that extra ingredi-ent of being twins.”
