His program was entitled, "Some thoughts on International Politics, the Olympic Games and the Olympic Movement." Lucas, who has lectured at Lock Haven before, presented his speech in two parts, the history of the Olympics leading up to the Winter Games at Sarajevo and on the politics involved in the Games. Dr. Lucas called the Olympics, "The work of imperfect human beings." He spoke of the founder of the Olympic games, Coubertin, who created the game to bring people from every nation together through universal communication, the language of sport. Lucas, a physical education teacher at Penn State University, presented both the pros and cons of the Olympics and said, "We must understand both sides and then make our own personal commitment to whether it's worthwhile." Dr. Lucas also discussed a booklet that he wrote about Penn State's involvment in the Winter and Summer Olympics. It is en- titled, "1904-1976: Penn State's involvment in the Olympic Games." He presented a copy of this to Health, Physical Education and Recreation Dean, Matthew Maetozo, to be put in Lock Haven's Library. In the second part of his lecture, Lucas discussed his theories for the future of Olympics. He hopes that in the future, we will be able to have friendly competition with no strings attached, and no politics involved in the games, By Mike Flanagan Co-News Editor The filling of various committees was the main topic at the first Student Cooperative Council (SCC) Senate meeting of the semester Wednesday. Gary Interdonato, new president of the SCC, welcomed all the Senators back and said that one of his main goals would be to get more students involved with the student government. A number of committees had members added at the meeting. The Senators added to the elections committee included; Jodi Schulz, Stacy Radd, Dori Mitchell, and Lix Rafferty. Named to the Student Appropriations Committee (formerly the Finance Committee) were Senators; Jodi Schulz, Dori Mitchell, Brian Aumiller and Kevin Choate. A bitg of controversy did arise when Senator, Paul Lowerance nominated Senator Choate for the Committee Choate had previously said that Wednesday's meeting would be his last until he found out that he could not serve on the Student Appropriations Committee as a concerned student and not a senator. Choate was approved to the committee after he said that he would run for the Senate in the upcoming elections, "An outsider on the committee would help because if someone hears something different on the outside, that will help u s , " Choate said. Student Union Administrator, David Cox, questioned Choate as to whether he was running for a committee or representing the student body. "1 represent the student body and Gross Hall," responded Choate. In other matters, three representatives of the Macke Vending Company addressed the Senate about the Eagle Wing Snack Bar, which Macke leases. The representatives talked about the possibility of cutting back hours because of the lack of customers at the Snack Bar. They asked for Senate suggestions. The Senate approved the Lock Haven University Yearbook Constitution and will investigate such things as cost and how to fund these costs. The borrowing of cross-country skis was also approved by the Senate. A ten-dollar deposit will be required for the skis and is refundable if everything is returned in good condition. The Senate appointed Sue Font, chairp>erson of the Cultural Affairs Committee and Bruce Skolnick, adviser. Named as SCC facutly advisers were; Dr. Bruce Young, Dr. Edward Chatterton, Sharon Taylor, Dr. Paul Klens and Dr. Mary Purcell. Lucas also presented his five Olympic reform suggestions for the future Olympics. Some of these include master teachers in all five continents, teaching and lecturing on the Olympic idea, the creation of a National Olympic Academy and the possibility of a permanent site for the Olympic Games. With these suggestions he hopes to help the Olympic Movement in its primary goal, "the preservation of peaceful communication among peoples from dissimilar cultures." Lucas' main goal was to present the philosophy and ideology of the Olympics and to stress the fact that "The Olympic Games are mostly about love and peace, even though that is most often forgotten." Student population increased this semester However, number of credits remains the same By Andrea Penney The number of students enrolled at Lock Haven University this spring has increased from last year's spring semester, according to George Marshall, vice-president of Administration. Although there are a larger number of students enrolled, the number of credits taken this year remains about the same as last year. As can be expected, the enrollment is down from the fall semester. Marshall said that the December graduating class was the biggest since 1972. There were not as many new freshmen and transfer students as there were December graduates, so this semester, the head count is down from last semester. Joseph Coldren, director of Admissions, said that the publicity to increase enrollment has been fairly steady for the past five years, but it is slowly accelerating. The forms of publicity include newspaper and magazine advertising, direct mailing of information to the students, and also radio and television advertisements. Coldren expects this increase in publicity to bring more students to Lock Haven in the future.

Eagle Eye photo by Rick Hunt 2 a Eagle Eye D Friday, February 10, 1984 Glen Road is reopened but steamline project progress moves slowly College Yearbook expected next Spring By Mike Flanagan The possibility exists that Lock Haven University will have a yearbook by the spring of 1985. The Student Cooperative Council (SCC) officially recognized the yearbook as a student organization at their Wednesday meeting. The recognizing of the yearbook by the SCC was a major step, according to yearbook editor-in-chief Brian Lathrop. "Now that we are recognized, we'll start looking for a staff," Lathrop said. Currently, there are two other members of the staff besides Lathrop. They are associate editorin-chief Bill McVaugh and photography editor Rick Hunt. Lathrop first came up with the idea of a yearbook with current SCC president Gary Interdonato and believes that a yearbook will work. "1 feel that it will be a successful project," Lathrop said, "I've heard no negative reaction from anyone I've talked to. Everyone seems to have a positive attitude." Lathrop says that making a yearbook will University presidents get 7 97o raise By Lisa Dieffenbach Lock Haven University President Craig Willis was one of the fourteen state university presidents to be granted a seven percent increase in his annual salary. This pay increase was decided on at the January meeting of the Board of Governors of the State System of Higher Education. This was President Willis' first salary increase since taking office. All other administrators were given a two percent increase in their annual salaries. Because the town of Lock Haven is in such a high unemployment area, the President was reluctant to have the actual figures printed. This pay raise brought his salary up to what other university presidents had been previously earning. Also discussed at this meeting were tuition waivers for all employees of Lock Haven University. Presently only families of professors receive these waivers, but the administration hopes to be able to provide this benefit to all employees. Vice President Marshall stated "there's really no extra cost to the college." The students room and board are not paid for, just the basic tuition. This issue was not agreed upon, but it will be discussed again at the next meeting. cost anywhere from $15-20,000 and believes that selling 1,800 yearbooks would be a break even point or slight profit. "1 don't think it has to cost the SCC a lot. 1 think it's going to take a year to get things going and running smoothly," Lathrop said. Lathrop believes that the yearbook should be a student funded project and not an administrative one. He has, however, asked the administration for some help and they have responded with giving the yearbook staff a room in Akeley 214. According to Lathrop, also included were desks, tables, and chairs. "The administration suggested that we go to the Alumni Fund for help. We are going to meet with them the first weekend in March and see what happens," Lathrop said. Lathrop believes that he and his staff is ready to accept the challenge of printing a yearbook. "Bill (McVaugh) and 1 put about 90% of our Christmas break looking into yearbook possibilities. I believe that we are prepared and a lot of interest is shown on campus," Lathrop said.

Using two separate entrances and roped off lines provided some semblance of order and was a ridiculously simple solution to what has been a miserable situation. Cattle drives are more organized than past registration days. Some people may find solice in the fact that our university Big Brother located just 40 minutes away still clings to this medieval method of registering for classes. Yes, with all its grandeur, tradition, and 30,000 student enrollment, Penn State still holds registration much the same way we do. If they can do it successfully with 30,000 students then we can surely do it with just 2600. The tendency here might be to become complacent now that a solution has been found to work reasonably well. Registration day was the smoothest and most efficient in recent memory. But it can get better. Word out of West Chester University is that juniors and seniors there phone in for their classes. Freshman and sophomores must still pick up class cards in person. What a ridiculously simple solution. M.P. Players present marital comedy By Andrew Ashenfelter T o balance the large scale fall production of " T o a d of Toad H a l l " the University Players have selected a Noel C o w a r d character study for their spring offering. "Blithe Spirit" is a comedy about marital relationships, containing a few characters that are not quite of this world. Charles ( J o h n Rathmell) has a reasonably stable marriage until it is given a jolt by the reappearance of Elvira (Bonnie Castner) the wife from his first marriage. Elvira's return is disturbing for all concerned, particularly since she's been dead for seven years. However, Charles is the only one w h o can see his ghostly ex-spouse, leaving his wife (Beth Sewell), his maid (Mary Daly) and his friends the Bradmans (Chris Oeste) bewildered by the series of strange happenings and misdirected affections. Matters aren't helped by the doubtful assistance of M a d a m e Arcati (Karen Clauser) an eccentric medium. "Blithe S p i r i t , " directed by Dr. Denys Gary, will be presented March 15-17 in Sloan Auditorium. Phi Mu is special Dear Editor, It's that time of year when sororities and fraternities are recruiting new members. One fraternity in particular has a real jump on their rusfi program, Phi Mu Delta. Signs and ads are just two of the many ways that ttie fraternity Is Informing students of their open smokers. I feel P.I^.D. is an excellent fraternity. I am not saying It's better than any of fhe other fraternities, but I just think that P.M.D. Is not given enough credit and recognition. One of the smaller chapters on campus, P.M.D. consists of 23 brothers and 12 little sisters. The fraternity Is very friendly, fun-loving, and very active In community service projects. Just some of the community service projects that P.M.D. has sponsored are: Dance Marathon and Almost Anything Goes (Infant Development Center), Halloween Party and Egg Hunts (Head Start Program), Jeffrey Scott Dubois Memorial Scholarship, UNICEF, and snow shoveling for the elderly and the handicapped.

The year 1980 meant different things to different people. The great nnajority of us were still in high school, Ronald Reagan was in his first year as President, and the U.S. hockey team was mailing history by doing the impossible and winning an Olympic gold medal. It also marked the end of a decade and the end of the yearbool< on this campus. Well, it's four years down the road now and two things haven't c h a n g e d Reagan Is still President and Lock Haven is still without a yearbook. It's time for a change (and I'm not talking about the government). Wednesday night, the S C C approved a yearbook Constitution. What this means is that a yearbook staff, which now consists tentatively of Brian Lathrop, Bill McVaugh, Rick Hunt, and Wally Smith, is now recognized on this campus as a student organization. These guys are to be commended.They've taken the first step in a very difficult process. They also realize that they have a long way to go. The next important step is proving to the SCC that a yearbook would be a low risk organization to finance. A figure of 15 to 20 thousand dollars in publishing costs has already been tossed around. This sounds astonishing, but Lathrop maintains that on the average roughly 65 percent of the students in the state funded schools with which he has spoken buy a book. Furthmore, should that figure remain consistent at this school, over 23 thousand dollars would be grossed. The administration has already backed the group by allowing them the use of room 214 Akeley. It has, however, expressed that it will not contribute financially to the organization, something which is not uncommon among the other state universities. The Intentions are there. All we need now is the follow through. What do you think? Isn't it time for a change for the good? C.B. Dreamland is a place I go when...Si/// Two hours and fifty-six minutes. That's how long the Student Cooperative Council Senate (SCC) meeting lasted on Wednesday night. What was accomplished in those two hours and fifty-six minutes? Answer- nothing. The only significant parts of the meeting were when committees were appointed and when the yearbook constitution was approved. Other than that, I found myself drifting into dreamland. Dreamland is a place where I go when things aren't interesting and a lot of Bull Is floating around. The senate meeting Wednesday night had a lot of Bull. I was in dreamland for about an hour when the representatives of the Macke Company, the Eagle Wing snack bar operations, were asking the senators why they weren't doing good business. It doesn't take an hour to say, "Luigis's." Dreamland received a 25-minute episode of the approving of a yearbook constitution. After a lot of Bull, (there's that word again) the senate decided they will investigate the yearbook. A half-hour show, featuring the Idea of whether or not a non-recognized group should be allowed to use the SCC's sound equipment, closed out the night in Dreamland. I understand that Wednesday's meeting was the first for new SCC president Gary Interdonato. I advise Gary to start using his gavel more when people start talking in circles and when things are being needlessly repeated or else I'll start reserving two hours and fifty-six minutes every other Wednesday for Dreamland.

The fourth floor corner office in Raub Hall is strangely empty this semester. May Ireland, associate professor of English, has packed-up her files, sorted out textbooks, and boxed-up the papers in her desk. She has occupied the same office in Raub 402 for more than sixteen years as an English professor at Lock Haven University. , The office was an interesting established place for students to come for advice and help. "1 had the same office mate for 15 years. Audrey Kuhn, a math professor, shared the office until the math department was moved to the recently completed Robinson Learning Center." Students were always welcome when they needed help with Math or English. Miss Ireland discussed some of the changes which have taken place in her tenure at the University. She has taught under three presidents. She has also been involved with the transition of the faculty from a senate-type group to a unionized group. Knglish Curricula Evolved The curricula of the English courses has also evolved over the past 16 years. Miss Ireland has taught some of the teaching methods courses for English secondary education students. Miss Ireland had been involved in education and teaching prior to coming to Lock Haven University. She taught English at an all academic high school in Pittsburgh for ten years and in Altoona for ten years. She earned her bachelor's degree from Muskingham College, her master's from Penn State, and did further graduate work at Carnegie Mellon University. Through a Ford Foundation grant, 1953, Miss Ireland worked with UNESCO in Paris, France, and then in Egypt where she worked with fundamental education for the Arab world. Last Christmas she returned to Egypt for a visit. "Before I left, my friends were kidding me about a Christmas dinner featuring camel meat, "Miss Ireland said laughingly. " I was happy to report back that 1 had a very pleasant and elegant Christmas dinner with the American ambassador, as my friends and I were invited to the embassy." She noted also that in 29 years the cities have changed greatly but the villages remained very much the same. Award Fellowship She was awarded a FuUbright Fellowship to work in Pakistan for one year. "The scenery was spectacular! I am very glad to have had an opportunity to travel in Pakistan when I did. Many of the places 1 visited are now closed to visitors," noted Miss Ireland. While in Pakistan she taught English at the Frontier College for Girls and served as a consultant for the Ministry of Education at Peshawar. This energetic faculty member is widely known for her Scottish ancestry and her interest in Scotland. A retirement dinner given by the English Department featured bagpipes, piping the guests into dinner. Dr. Craig Dean Willis, President of Lock Haven University, added to the Scottish them by coming in a kilt as did Dr. Ralph Kuhn, Professor of Mathematics, who played the bagpipes. Miss Ireland is looking forward to traveling, Jaking time to write, and refinishing some of the furniture she has been storing in her garage. She also hopes to do some volunteer work. "I'vt been told a happy retirement is one where you love, learn, and laugh," Miss Ireland explained. " I ' m looking forward to my retirement and to learning new things and enjoying new adventures."
