Lock Haven State College Fri., Oct. 31,1975 Popular string quartet returns One of last season's best received groups in the Lock Haven Artist Series will return on Thursday, November 6, for a lecture-demonstration and concert, made possible through a grant from the Pa. Council on the Arts. The Concord String Quartet of Mark Sokol on first violin, Andrew Jennings on second violin, John Kochanowski on viola, and Norman Fischer on cello will begin the day of musical activities with a demonstration and lecture on string music at 11:00 a.m. in the Sloan Center. Last year, students found this activity to be quite informative and enjoyable. The concert, beginning at 8:00 p.m. in the Sloan Theatre, will feature selections by Mozart, Bartok, and Beethoven. Tickets may be picked up in the pub by showing an I.D. card. The quartet's visit to Lock Haven is a cooperative project between the college music department and the Keystone Central School District. At 12:30 p.m., elementary string students will be brought in from area schools in the district for an instructional program by the quartet. The Concord String Quartet is one of the youngest of the country's nationally-acclaimed string quartets, with all four members in their 20's. Their matched set of instruments was made especially for them by master craftsman Sergio Peresson of Italy. During the morning session, they will discuss the musical qualities of each instrument and demonstrate how the matched set ablends together on quartet selections.

The article was written by John Heagney upon his first return since his 1970 graduation, and was printed in the Bucks County Courier Times. It would be difficult to imagine a place more resistant to change than Lock Haven State College. More so than even the conservative, central-Pennsylvania town in which it is situated, my alma mater remains virtually unaltered by the five years since my graduation. When I drove thosefamiliar 200 miles northwest into the Susquehanna River Valley last weekend, I found nothing to distinguish this from any other homecoming weekend I had spent there as a student. Granted there were structural changes such as an alien dormitory or two, a fine arts building, not to mention several new parking lots and assorted walkways. There's even a stone wall emblazoned with the college's name and date of birth adorning a previously-naked corner of campus. But I'm not referring to those types of change. I'm talking about the stillpresent, terribly constructed homecoming floats, the apathy and the corpulent cheerieaders who have been rah-rahing on Lock Haven sidelines for more than a century. It was all there and all as I remembered it. Even the weather was its usual drizzle-threatening overcast. I felt right at home as Lock Haven's football team was hammered silly by Edinboro State. It was like old times, with the exception of the new football stadium - an unimposing, cyclone-fenced field resting atop an even less-imposing landfill a quarter-mile walk from the heart of campus. And despite aspirations to the contrary, the stadium is nothing more than a cosmetic touch, a useless trapping, h has done nothing to bolster the team's spirit, or to improve the Haven alumni and students reluctantly have come to call their own. But the football fiasco was only part of this nostalgic scenario. For three of the four years I attended Lock Haven, we were shamed by the absence of musical accompaniment on the football field. As glorious bands from other colleges doubletimed across our 50yard line, we sat mutely envious of the opposingteam's high-stepping drum major and precision marching. By my senior year, however. Lock Haven was being serenaded to defeat by a "miniband," which was little more than two sousaphones, a trumpet and a bass drum. Now, however, this problem has been eliminated with typical Lock Haven zeal misguided as it may be. The miniband has been replaced by a larger musical rabble which - dressed only in jeans, blue T-shirts ("The Band" printed across the chest) and cont. on page 3 tapes facilitate cont. from page 1 unlike the Language Library tapes of Spanish, French, and German, are not used for classes with one exception. Dr. Peplow's class in "English as a Second Language" uses the English cassette tape. The language tapes also have a "strategic use," noted Konick. He gave the example of a LHS student who is .going to Poland in an exchange program. The selfinstructional Polish tape would be helpful for that student to learn the language. Konick also stated that the English tape is useful for the "foreign student who needs more instruction in the language."
