D«c«mb«r 14. 1912 SCC changes hands Wed.; Culligan out, McNamara in By Kim Wilkinson News Editor The new SCC executive committee will take office Wednesday night after the SCC Senate meeting. The new officers, elected November 8, are John McNamara, president; Brian Lane, vice-president; Joe Skar-bowski, PUB administrator; Bob Cochrane, treasurer, Karin Hammler, recording secretary and Stephanie Shelly, corresponding secretary. McNamara, president-elect's first goal is to get the SCC out of the "entanglement" of the pending lawsuits, so his administration can focus on other campus issues. McNamara said he would like to "throw the government back into the students, where it belongs." He also sees the possible hiring of a corporate administrator to help handle such SCC affairs as money, businesses and inventorus. McNamara added that one new idea will be "Alternative '83". This was a proposal by Skarbowski, newly elected PUB administrator. "Alternative '83" will be a series of dances, concerts and other activities to keep students on campus during the weekends. McNamara said these will be events that "people will want to stay for." McNamara also has plans of reinstituting Quiet Wednesday, which may be held off-campus, with transportation provided. There are no definate plans for replacing the cultural affairs and social committee chairmans as of yet, although some interest has been expressed in each area, according to McNamara. And, he said there is still a possibility of a spring concert, as long as the SCC would be able to "break even." When asked to comment on her short term as president, Karen Culligan said she was most pleased with the renovations that have taken place in the PUB. She said she "felt the PUB should have a nice atmosphere for the students." She said as president this semester she just tried to keep things going while further developing the student government and activities. Karen Culligan moving out (Eagle Eye photo by Jeff Tinsman) Finals are approaching By Laura Lyman News Editor studying A hush came over the campus, as yesterday, around the clock quiet hours were enacted in most dormitories, because of finals which officially begin Saturday. Finals week is not only nerve wracking for students, but also for the professers who must have all grades recorded by 3:30 December 23rd. C a f e t e r i a workers easily become the brunt of students frustration. The Rolaids boxes in the bookstore cannot be filled fast enough to keep up with the demand. Maintenance crews go crazy sweeping up the cigarette butts smoked in a fit of nervousne&s and thrown carelessly on the floor. Psychologists say that the holiday season is the worst time of year for many because of the deperssion associated with it. A college student can truly relate to this. Besides having to worry about whether they have gotten a Christmas present for their Aunt Tina yet, a college student has to face the tests which may decide whether they pass the course of not. Sigmund Freud viewed adolesence as a time of storm and stress. Finals week can be as psychologically dangerous as adolescence. ... and sacking out (photos by Jeff Tinsman) UAA helps with books and rides ^ Karen Souder bumming a ride with the help of the UAA ride map (Eagle Eye photo by Jeff Tinsman) By Kim Wilkinson News Editor Two new services are being provided for the students by the Undergraduate Alumni Association (UAA), according to Karin Van Deun, director of alumni affairs. The first service is the used book service. The UAA has provided a sign-up <* table in Bentley Lounge for students to list their used books in specific subject f areas. Along with the book, students should list their name and phone number. Next semester the lists will be available and students can discuss a price on a one-to-one basis. The other service being provided is the rides/riders needed. A new map has been placed in the stairway leading to the cafeteria, which has been sectioned off. Anyone who needs a ride or riders should visit the UAA office in Bentley Hall to have a yellow card posted on the map. As students walk by, they should stop to look for rides or riders in their area. Van Deun said the UAA is trying to bring organization to the normally chaotic systems. The UAA recently presented Pam Stackhouse and Lisa Fontanes each with a 200 dollar scholarship. To be eligible a student must be an active member of the UAA for one year and be in good academic standing. 2 EflQLE EYE Ta«s4ay. D«c. 14. 19B2 Commentary /Announcements LETTERS Dear Editor: After reading Mr. Eberle's article in response to the need.for an assistant coach In wrestling, a thought dawned on me: What about the future of tracl(? 1 realize that our w r e ^ i n g team is very good and the program is a strong one, being a Division I team, i have great admiration and respect for Mr. Turner and all the wrestlers, so tfiis letter is in no way attacking their sport or program From what I understand, this school plans on hiring a full time coach for assistant wrestling and head track and field positions. Granted, our wrestling team could use an assistant to help coaching, but what of the track team: 1. Will we have one coach for track and field? Both men and women? Come now Eberle, all those events coached properly by one man for men and women? Amazing! Must be one helluva man! 2. When does wrestling officially end, and do you think there will be no conflict if t>oth seasons are occurring at the same time? That I'd Dear Editor: As many of us are aware, the number of credits required for a student to have in order to move off campus is 96. This number is way too high, and should be set lower so that a fair standard is set for all students involved. College is the time for students to grow as individuals separate from their parents. While freshmen may still be a bit young to move off campus, it is not fair to require sofifhomores and juniors, who have lived in the dorms for a year, to remain in the residence halls without having the option to move off campus. Most of the sophomjpres and Juniors are responsible enough to handle the off campus situation, and are being treated as children in the matter. It appears to me that the college has set this requirement for the sole p u r p o s e of g e n e r a t i n g like to see. 3. Will all meets be scheduled with men and women together? Have you any Idea how long such a meet could last? if only men or women have a meet, who will coach the team home for practice? Speaking of being home on our own track, have you ever run on it -competitively or even for practice? Such horrendous conditions! A reason why we did not have any honle meets; athletes from other schools were too embarrassed to be seen on it! Since 1979 we have had three different coaches at the head position, and now in 1982 another new coach why? Do you realize the talent In this college wasted because athletes are discouraged by the track program? I've seen better programs in high school. Can this poor track program (as I see it) result in a short-handed cross-country team, and cause track to become a club? I am eager for any response and if I am wrong, jslease correct me. Frank Passantti revenue from room and board fees. The students are being used. We are old enough to vote, and we are old enough to fight in wars. Why does the administration feel that we are not old enough to live on our own? These requirements set by the administration are unjust. The rights of LHSC students are being infringed upon and we should not sit back and let this happen. I urge all students to do something about the situation. If you would like to move off campus but are not being permitted to do so because of the 96 credit requirememt, speak up and express your views to the administration. Perhaps some day soon a just system w i l l be established to control off campus residence.

WHEATIE SPEAKS By Bill Wortman Guest Colunnist Wheatie speaks t>efore time runs out; finals are on the way! Most seniors would say, " i need this grade to graduate." Most juniors would say, "Well, at least I have one more year to correct my mistakes, or maybe I'll go an extra semester." The sophomore will tell you, "Everything is cool," while the freshman expresses total discomfort, whatever the comment. Personally, after four years I've learned that finals can make or break a good grade. If you sum up this semester you can enter finals in three probable situations: 1. You have an A in a class and the final will be a breeze. 2. You have an average grade of B or C, and the final grade doesn't make much of a difference. 3. You have a D or E and the final decides whether you pass or fail. All you have to do is decide which category you fall into and plan your time for studying each individual subject accordingly. Rememljer B's and C's require the least amount of studying, while ATTENTION STUDENTS! Are you having problems working out your class schedule? Do you have questions about a fiarticular professor? The results of Student Faculty Evaluations have been complied. They are available for your review in the S.C.C. President's office on the lower level of the P.U.B.

Catch all the action Wednesday, December 15, at 7:00 p.m. on Cox Cable, channel 10. All Students, Faculty: Homebound for the Holidays? REACH OUT AND TOUCH SOMEONE! The Admissions department has prepared information packets for you to take home with you to have available for potential L.H.S.C. students. Each residence hall director has a supply as well as the Admissions Office. Please pick one up and pass it on. D's and E's require the most. An A going into a final usually remains an A through self confidence. The biggest worry for all of us is time! Anxiety can definitely run rampant this last week. Don't get down on yourself though, any backgammon player can tell you, "it's time for double sixes." Finals can be a roll of the dice, but tiard work with good concentration is a belter pair. Party People will just have to wait until next semester, unless partying and studying can be combined. The only people who can party this last week are the unhuman types. Don't kid yourself, eat well, study hard, and when Christmas comes along we can all tap a keg with our families. Keep the beaners to a minimum! Remember chocolate or coffee can provide the energy to study without the massive anxiety you get from caffine pills and amphetamines. Damn the partying, full speed ahead, and for the apathetic minority, damn the finals and party hardy! Good luck all!

The Bald Eagles were just outpointed by Pennsylvania Conference foe Slippery Rock State for the fourth place spot, but placed far behind tournainent champion Michigan State. The Spartans, who were runners-up to Penn State a year ago, avenged that loss to the Lions by out pointing them by five and a half points. The Volunteers of Tennessee placed third, three points behind the Nittany Lions. Buckwalter, a 158 pound junior who placed second in the tournament last year, had to come from l}ehind to register a victory over Michigan State's Mike Sargis. The bout ended in an 8-8 knot, and a two point nearfall in the overtime period saved the victory for Buckwalter. The 1981 NCAA national qualifier made it to the finals by defeating Penn State's Brad Houk, Steve Leffler of Ohio University, and West Chester's second seeded Mike Moyer. Peterson also finished second in last year's tournament. The Sophomore heavyweight pinned his first two opponents, slippery Rock's Chris Knapp and Shippensburg's Bill Damiano. A 9-2 decision over Bill Hyman of Tem- Lady Eagles drop first By Dave Prusak Eagle Eye Staff The shooting of the Lock Haven State College (LHSC) women's basketball team was colder than the weather outside Thursday night as the team dropped its first decision of the season, 75-56 to Shippensburg State. The Lady Eagles were in the game for the greater part of the first half, but costly turnovers hurt them. The Raiderettes from Shippensburg didn't shoot much better than LHSC at the outset, but eventually they found the range. LHSC center Helen Woltman dumped in eight first half points from underneath. The outside shooting by Mary Endsley, Stacey Cunningham, and Julie McNee led Shippensburg to break away 33-22 at the half. J J 3^ ^ ^ Twice in the second half the Lady Eagles pulled to within four points. Teresa Martin hit a short jumper in the lane with 11:30 remaining to cut the Shippensburg lead to 45-41. Sandy Miller's jumper two minutes later brought the 'Haven' to within 49-45. But it was the torrid shooting of game high scorer Stacey Cunningham down the stretch that led the Raiderettes to what turned but to be a rout in the end. Cunningham, who was presented the game ball with less than three minutes remaining for scoring her l(X)Oth point, was game high scorer with 31 points. She was aided by McNee and Endsley who scored 19 and 16 respectively. On what turned out to be a very frigid night for Lock Haven, Woltman hit for 12 points and Tina Martin struggled for 10.

Dec. 14. 19121 Features/News By Kim Wilkinson News Editor As the Christmas season approaches, spirit is shown in various ways. Many dormitories on campus are holding door decorating contests. This is an excellent way to illustrate one's Christmas spirit. Themes of the doors are widespread: from Religious, to humorous, and landscapes to name just a few, along with the gift-package look. Some students have become quite elaborate in their decorations. Some of the doors are three dimension with electric lights to even further accent their doors. According to Eileen O'Donnell, president of Gross Hall council. Gross Hall is sponsoring a door decorationg contest "to get people actively involved in the Christmas spirit through dormitory activities." O'Donnell said the hall council wanted to encourage decorating the normally drab dormitory halls.
