The racle NEWARK CAMPUS OF THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY

VOL. 2, NO. 2 MARCH, 1966 ~------------------------------------~-~

STATEMENT ON THE NEW NEWARK CAMPUS During March and April the people of the Newark are.a- Licking, Knox, Coshocton. and

Perry counties- win have an opportunity to establish their own state university campus.

If all goes well , co!lstruction will begin Ia te this summer or early next fall on the first building of the permanent Ohio State University Campus in Newark. Initially the new campus will be designed to accommodate fifteen hundred to sixteen hundred students. One of the first steps upon opening the new campus will be to provide a full daytime program as well as evening classes in the kind of program which now exists at Ohio State's program in Newark. With the opening of the new campus cl8.sses will be offered from 8 a . m. to 10 p. m.

~ Qpportunities for student activities, student social functions, clubs, organizations, lec-tures, concerts, and other events will be greatly increased with new facility. Tentative plans include the most modern type of classroom and laboratory facilities as wen as complete pro­visions for student services such as lounge areas, auditorium. cafeteria, student organization offices, health and first aid area, and plenty of paved parking space.

.. .. .. The site announced last fall is

located in west Newark and bor­dered by Granville Road, Coun­try Club Drive and Sharon Val­ley Road. It will include about one hundred forty acres.

Following passage by the peo­ple of Ohio of the $250 million bond issue in 1963, approximate­ly $25 million was allocated by

the State Legislature to the Board cf Regents and earmarked for construction of new university branches. Of this money the Board of Regents has designated 1.8 million dollars to assist the first construction on tlhe n e w Newark Campus.

As has been the practice throughout the state, people of the Newark area are required to

provide 25 per cent of the total cost. The financial campaign be­ing carried on this spring is de­signed to raise $650;000 or the lo­cal share of the cost of the con­struction of the new campus. The architect is now at work on the project. Pending the successful outcome of the campaign final drawings for the new campus should be completed this spring.

Editorial The branch campus, in the past•

has been thought of an an educa­tional institution comparable to any other state university. It has become accepted public opinion: that the student body of the branch is composed of people who desire higher education, but, at the same time, do not wish to at­tend the main campus until some later date. It is also accepted opinion that the student at the branch campus rank favorably with those of the main campus, both in their high school and post high school scholastic endeavors. The branch campus, at this time, still enjoys this reputation. How­ever, this may be the last year that it can say this, for a proposed admissions ruling could ·very well change both the character and the efficiency of the branch campus, resulting in complete destruction of a reputation built upon almost a decade of successful perform­ance.

This proposed ruling summarily states that entering freshmen

must have ranked in the upper twenty-five percent of their graduating classes in order to be admitted to the main campus of Ohio State. The only alternative to prospective Ohio State fresh­men who cannot fulfill this re­quirement, is to make application to one of the various branch cam­puses. At first it seems simply that the branch campuses will have more students (if the ruling is adopted); however, other ef­fects may be anticipated.

The first such effect has already been suggested; the branch cam­pus will probably suffer a severe loss of prestige in its community, as well as in its standing in the state college system. Presently,

Forecast On College Spring Fashions

The designers of today's fash­ions find it difficult to say tha1 only one particular style of cloth­ing will be "in" for spring. These people who are engaged in creat­ing the latest modes mwit weigh many factors such as, style, price range, fabrics, and colors before they advertise a creation, but the scales tend to tip in one direc­tion - individual taste. Although the individual indirectly deter­mines the style, the fashion de-

EDITORIAL (Continued) the branch campuses have the same admission requirements as the parent campus, but after such a ruling has implicitly lowered standards it will more than likely suffer degradation in the eyes of all concerned.

Will parents not be less approv-ing of a branch campus for their

•

children - especially if they rank ,n the upper echelon of their graduating class - since the pur-pose of the branches will seem to be to absorb the "rejections" from the main campus? Cons·e­quently, the higher ranking stu­dents will probably apply else­where, even if they had origin­ally intended to go to a branch campus before such a ruling went into effect.

Another effect which might come from enactment of such a ruling involves each individual of the entire student body. Branch students now have a certain amount of academic confidence

since they can assume that they are of the same calibre as are their counterparts on the main campus. However, after they are engulfed by a steady influx of students "rejected" by the main campus, we can not be too shocked if th e i r sreholastic achievement is lower than before such a practice was begun.

The administration who will rule on this question hold the fu­'.ure of the branch campuses in their hands. If they approve this proposal, they will undoubtedly sentence the Branch Campuses to1 a substantial loss of dignity.

THE ORACLE

signers have forecast certain trends for spring.

There is a wild wonderful west­ern motion in clothes for college coeds this spring. Bright shades of yenow and orange calico, prairie pink, and rootin' tootin' canvas a re prominent in blouses a n d skirts. The "skimp" dress which is a sleeveless, short, body skim­ming slip dress will make its de­but in spring. Tattersall plaidSI consisting of two contrasting col­ors are popular material for the classic suit which is usually a chesterfield jacket with an A-line skirt.

Ice-cream colors will dominate the dressier set of clothes for spring. The dresses have simple, but basic lines with either long sleeves or no sleeves. The spring coats are double-breasted and have moderately low, square necks complimented by scarfs of either a contrasting or matching color.

The western look is carried over into the sport fashions. Hip­huggers, bell-bottom pants, and poor-boy sweaters will be famil­iar items in the coed wardrobe. Faded denim is the popular color while stripes and dots are t h e popular combination. these a 11 combine to create an untamed look in the spring clothes f o r those who want to think and feel feminine.

On the other hand, the trend for male college students is one of traditional clothing. Only the fabrics seem to change in tradi­tional clothing; the style gener­ally remains stable. Casual dress for college men consists of per­manent press slacks made of light-weight corduroy or jeans in light and dark shades. W h i t e "ducks" are in vogue again for young men. The new colors in, shirts are yellow, blue, or i;>ink usually accompanied by contrast­ing pastel stripe. The belts are wider, thicker, and now even con­tain multi-colored stripes. R i ch and racy velour pullovers with either a Henley, crew, or V-neck collar are prevalent in college wear.

The dress set introduces ties as 3 % " made of wool or silk col­orful prints and paisleys. Dou-

Senate Elections Are Mishandled

Page 5

The use of certain questionablE voting procedures in the recen1 Student Senate election may well bring protests from defeated "first-term" candidates. One suet disgruntled candidate unofficially questions the validJty of the elec­tion results.

'I'he most common complain1 was the complete lack of voter registration. Voters were allowed to cast ballots without having their names checked off on a master roster of students enrolled at Newark Campus .. It is conceiv­able, therefore, that some stu­dents could have voted more than once. Moreover, in many in­stances, fee cards were not checked; consequently, ineligible voters (non-students) may have cast ballots.

"There were no provisions made for marking ballots in pri­vacy", was another complaint voiced by many students, con­cerned becau se they had voted in the immediate vicinity of the registration table without the benefit of a "secret ballot." This lack of secrecy invites subtle co­ercion from the student:;; loung­ing around the table during vot-ing. -Carl Kaseman

ble-breasted sport coats are rec­ognized in either hop-sacking or herringbone fabrics. Dress trous­ers are mostly poplins, twills, and oxfords with cuffs wider and lengths shorter. The silk hand­kerchief is deemed a necessity for both the sport coat and the dress suit.

Collegiate be a ch-wear will make its debut this spring in a. blaze of color. The new surfing trunks are embellished with wild, floral prints. Cotton cor­duroy beach pullovers with laced plackets and matching trunks with a contrasting competition stripe create fabulous and unex­pected combinations.

These are a few of the major trends in college fashions for spring. How well have the design­ers predicted them? Only you, as an individual, will be able to say what will be "in" for spring.

DEAR JAMES During a recent stay on the

French Riviera I saw a girl who had the right measurements in the right places (If you know what I mean). Three weeks have passed and I still can't get her out of my mind. If I went back, could I find her?

Signed "World Traveler"

Dear "World Traveler", Judging from your preoccupa­

tion with proportions I'm sure that, even if you didn't find her when you went back, you would certainly find another girl with those same attributes. It is uni­versally known that there are1 many, many pebbles with de­lightful dimensions on the Riviera beaches.

Dear James, I am engaged to a wonderful

guy. We agree on everything ex­cept my working after our mar­riage. I wish to continue my pro­fession as a bubble dancer after our marriage in the fall . My

fiance objects because he says woman's place is in the home, and doesn't feel that a married wo­man should do such work. What do you think?

Sig".1ed, "Bubbj,es Galore"

Dear "Bubble!;' ', I, too, S'!.y no soap. A man must

be firm. Besides, you cannot ex­pect him to stay home and bakel cookies, while you are working. He will probably be finding a new cook (Live-in ) .

Dear James, I am so worked up I don 't

know what to do. Tonight, the man I had been dating for two months walked out on me. He to:.a me I was· a **!-- !**. I don't ki.:>\ r why he feels this way. I wouu1 give anything to get him back, even if I must reform to suit his tastes. As a man of the world, what is your opinion?

Signed, "Put Down"

Dear " Down", Although you are on the right'

track because you realize you must submit to a male, it is toq late. You must be what he said you were because a man's judg­ment is rarely wrong. And even if he were wrong, he would be the last to admit it. Give up!

Many of the world 's most disap­pointed people are those who do get what's coming to them.
