The Otterbein women's soccer team started the season with six wins and only one loss. Despite losing some strong seniors, they're hoping for an OAC title. T&C Media's Jordan Hamzee reports.
The Otterbein Cheerleading Team is currently preparing for their first competition season since 2010. T&C Media reporter Schalischa Petit-De talked with coach Regina Smith, along with some of the cheerleaders to know more about what stunts they've been working on, the challenges they're facing, and the team’s relationship with one another. The Cardinal Cheerleaders will begin their competition season in January 2018. They will compete in Michigan, Canada and end in Florida for Nationals. The team will also be hosting two competitions at Otterbein University. (Co-captain Sydney Peters contributed to the reporting of this story)
"Fresh never frozen" is Rollies Ice Cream and Boba Tea's motto. The ice cream starts out as a liquid cream mixture. Then the mixture is poured on a below freezing plate. After that the liquid ice cream begins to freeze and is flattened to be rolled and served. Ingredients can be added to the base while it is being mixed.
Dr. Kathy A. Krendl has announced her plans to retire as President of Otterbein University. T&C Media sat down with her to learn more about her decision, what this change means for the university and her experience at Otterbein. “I think about what this school has done for me,” said Krendl. “I never felt like I could talk about my own moral compass, at least in a public setting. Otterbein has helped me...take a stance.” For the past nine years, President Krendl has been serving Otterbein as the leader of the university, tearing down old barriers from the past and reviving the university’s stance on topics such as diversity and inclusion. “We are more than just one of the 53 private, liberal arts schools,” said Krendl. “We’ve been unique since the day we opened in 1847 and we aren’t going to apologize for it.” Some of her accomplishments include the creation of the STEM building and program, the “Where We STAND Matters” campaign and gender inclusive housing for students. “She has a vision for Otterbein,” said Kristi North, administrative assistant of Academic Affairs. “She wants to keep Otterbein moving forward in progress.” President Krendl has been serving in higher education since 1983. She was previously a professor and dean at Indiana University and later became the dean of Howard Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University Krendl said what brought her to the small liberal arts school in Westerville, Ohio was seeing a student she knew completely transform after attending Otterbein. “I’d never heard of Otterbein before that,” said Krendl. “But I tucked the school into the back of my mind that day.” Student and faculty alike are grateful she decided to keep Otterbein in mind so many years ago. “I think the way that she has responded to adversity over the last year has been really inspiring.” says Jeremy Paul, president of Otterbein University Student Government (OUSG). Paul said that one of Krendl’s most commendable trait is her ability to communicate and voice student concerns. Last year she worked with OUSG to create a petition for Otterbein to be a safe sanctuary campus as a result of President Trump’s immigration policy in January. “The hope is that we find somebody just as receptive as President Krendl,” said Paul. As for her post-retirement plans, Krendl said she is looking forward to spending more time with her grandchildren and making her new house a home. But that doesn’t mean she is retiring her fighting spirit and moral compass. “I’m not retiring in the sense that I am giving up who I am or my purpose, it is just finding out what that new purpose will be. I am figuring out what the greater good is.”
Otterbein students have recently voiced confusion about how the student life fee works. Jeremy Paul and Koryn Naylor, the student body president and treasurer respectively, explained the process of funding campus organizations to T&C Media.
This weekend celebrates Otterbein’s 100th anniversary of homecoming. This year, an added significance comes along with the annual festivities taking place. Stephen Grinch, Otterbein's library archivist since 1998, gives T&C Media a look at how Otterbein first celebrated homecoming. “There used to be a big banquet that was sponsored by the Varsity O that was really the very first celebration of Homecoming,” said Grinch. “They had a big banquet for the men in the Association building [where Roush Hall now stands]." "There was a separate banquet for the ladies held in the dining room of Cochran Hall." There are some traditions Otterbein does today that happened in the early years of homecoming. “It wasn’t until the 1930’s that you saw a homecoming queen. Parades started in the 1920’s so those go back pretty far,” said Grinch. Homecoming is still one of Otterbein’s most celebrated events. “It’s all about getting together,” said Grinch.
