•Vfm Lock Haven State College Eaa Friday Nov. 19,1976 ^ ^ ^ Eve ^ ^ see candidates announced By DEB KERNER Staff Reporter The upcoming SCC election will offer more of a selection for the voters with the establishment of two official slates and two independent candidates seeking election to the SCC Executive Committee. Running on the Explosive Slate are; Paul Benkert, Jack Sohnleitner, Joe Harper, Sue Daum, and Mary Walsh. The opposing slate consists of Mike Hanna and Jayne Bolduc. The rest of this slate will be comprised of write-in candidates which are expected to be announced Friday or Monday. The independent candidates are Eden Richards of Lock Haven and Joe Gracia of Williamsport. Presidential Candidates The nominees for President of the SCC are Eden Richards, Mike Hanna, and Paul Benkert. Eden Richards is a junior majoring in elementary education. He is the President of the Free U Association of Lock Haven State College, a member of the honor society Kappa Delta Pi and a member of the chess club. He also operates a general contracting business of his own. Eden feels that he is qualified for the position because he's interested in change and a restructuring of the present system of student government. "I have no political qualifications but plenty of interest, concern, and motivation to respond to the student's needs." If elected he would like to change the government to be run more like a student business since the major concern of students is how their money is spent by the SCC. "The SCC is run as a student government but yet it hasn't fulfilled its duties to the students. 1 don't feel that anyone should tell students how they should be governed. In other words, changes should not be decided by a small group of people but rather by the students as a mass." Senior, Michael Hanna is a political science major who feels that his major has been a valuable asset by providing him with background information and knowledge concerning the workings of government. He is involved with the Democratic party of Clinton County and the history club. Having no present ties with the SCC, Mike feels that this will work to his advantage by enabling him to be more responsive to new ideas. Mike wants to narrow the scope of the SCC expand the services rendered. He'd like to reorganize the present accounting system since any money spent on campus for any organization or club is decided on by the SCC. Mike and Jayne propose to have the students more directly involved with deciding how the money from the activity fee is spent. On their proposal students will have somewhat of a choice as to where the money goes. He is greatly in favor of re-evaluating and changing the election rules and regulations to avoid any situation similar to what happened in this year and last year's elections. Paul Benkert is a junior majoring in political science. He is currentiy First Vice President of the SCC. He's also a member of the Student Appropriations Committee, and the treasurer for the Commonwealth Association of Students (CAS), and he use to be the Campus Coordinator of the CAS. During this past summer he acted as a lobbyist in the CAS office.

When asked about the importance of the position of student trustee, Lorin Mock, President of SCC responded, "they do control a large amount of the things that students are directly involved with, and therefore it is important to have a good student trustee."

Expedition, I am a student employee of L.H.S."". Law Enforcement, in case it interests you! First of all, how do you know the officers in question were "standing idly together" in front of the Field House Circle? Did you ask them what they were doing? How do you know they weren't apprehending the so called rapist? I'd like to know how you know exactly what the officers were doing! It is a "fact" that Bev Hofman was carrying a brown paper bag, and inside that bag was a six pack of beer!! It is a "fact" that Bev Hofman is 19 years of age, which makes her a minor! It is a "fact" that when the officer ask who's beer it was-Bev said it was Jack's! And it is a "fact". Jack refused to answer the officers question-was it his beer? Which only raises the question, why didn't Jack say it was his beer when the question arose? Is that what you call your friend? Your right, it doesn't matter if Sohnleitner is over 21. It is against L.H.S.C. and State Law to allow drinking on campus. It really doesn't matter if Sohnleitner is 41. You stated your info a bit incorrectiy. Yes there were only three officers on duty, but they were not all standing around talking at one time. If you recall-2 were standing, and one came in the van. What's this about being atraid of what the officer would do to you? Now that's really funny! What were you afraid of? I'll bet you thought they had a shotgun hidden under their coat right? Hardly!!! I can hardly believe that you Bev, were so horribly frightened by the "tone" of Mr. Patricks voice, with such a strong man (Jack) standing there by your side!

Before matriculating here at L.H.S.C. I was under the impression that a college perse was an institution of higher learning and that when in attendance at same your efforts and/or energies were supposedly directed at the attainment of knowledge for the purpose of the betterment of the self, which if pursued for a specific amount of time would eventually result in a degree of recognition from that college, provided your personal degree of professionalism coincided with the expectations ofthe institution. Obviously I've a facetious mistake by thinking in this manner, this is probably because of my naive approach or outiook on life which is more than likely a result of only having an eighth grade education. Being that I did miss my social-environmental programming (high school), I would like to take this <"""onpage4 Rockathon starts today Imagine rocking continually for a period of 48 hours for the purpose of raising money for the American Cancer Society! This weekend project will be the endeavor of the sisters of Delta Zeta and Sigma Kappa. From 6 pm Friday night until 6 pm Sunday night, eight rockers will be occupied by the sorority sisters in hopes of raising $2000 for the American Cancer Society. The Rock-a-thon is an annual event sponsored by the sisters of Deha Zeta. The philanthropic event was initiated in 1974 when $700 was PART-TIME raised. In 1975, $1800 was raised through the efforts of the Delta Zeta sisters and Tau Kappa Epsilon brothers. The proceeds were donated to the Iniant Development Program at the Lock Haven Hospital. In an effort to involve another Greek organization in this philanthropic endeavor, the Delta Zeta's have combined forces with the Sigma Kappas. Sources for this year's Rock-a-thon include donations from individual sponsors, campus personnel and Lock Haven businesses. Students are urged to visit the "rockers" in Bentley Hall Lounge and to contribute to the cause. David Heverlv seeks truth in form of debate To the Editor: Well, well, well! Did I strike a nerve? Why should three people devote so much time, effort and space to defending themselves from a column full of foolish mistakes? I can only say that I stand 100% behind everything 1 wrote. To quote Julie McGovern, current Editor-in-Chief of the Eagle Eye, from a commentary she wrote in the April 26, 1976 issue of the Eagle Eye: The integrity of David Heverly...is not to be questioned. The stage has been set and the sides chosen. While 1 still wish to pursue the truth in this matter, I can no longer continue my pursuit in a medium that you control. In such a forum, the truth itself becomes corrupted. Ms. McGovern, Mr. Burlingame and Ms. Morse, 1 challenge you to debate these issues before the entire student body. I want the students to be able to see us in the flesh,look us in the eyes, hear and evaluate what we have to say and then decide who is the truth's most obedient servant. The only stipulations I have are that: 1.) This debate be open to the entire college community. 2.) Everyone in attendance must be allowed to ask anyone of us any questions they want. 3.) This debate must take place before the S.C.C. Executive Committee Election. I have thrown down the guantiet. To decline is to admit that 1 am right and that you are corrupt.

Friday Nov. 19,1976 PRO BALL by Steve Heverly Who would believe that the Steelers would ever be rooting for the Raiders? The only chance the defending champs have is for them to beat the Bengals and then the Raiders. If this doesn't happen the Steelers will be watching from their T.V.'s. As for the other divisions a lot will be determined this week. My record last week, 9-5. Overall 83-42. Im Angeles 25 San Francisco 17 Los Angeles puts themselves one and one-half game above the 49ers with a win in San Francisco. LA comes up with their best game of the year. St. Louis 21 Washington 10 The Cardinals will knock the Redskins out of any play-off hopes and avenge that sloppy Monday night game. Oakland 31 Philadelphia 10 Roman gets his first start in a year when he faces the Raiders in Philadelphia. Eagles can't stop Raiders from clinching AFC west. Chicago 20 Detroit 17 Bears again will be carried on the feet of Walter Payton as they build toward a real challenge next year. Minnesota 17 Green Bay 10 Vikings clinch central division of NFC with win in Green Bay. DaUa8 32 Atlanta 3 Atianta surprised San Francisco last week but Cowboys are due for good game after two bad ones. Cincinatti 20 Kansas City 10 Cincinatti was saved by Issac Curtis last week but won't need any last second heroic verses the Chiefs. Cleveland 17 Tampa Bay 14 Tampa Bay looks for an upset but Browns are still alive in their quest for a wild-card birth. New England 17 NY Jets 10 Jets put scare into Patriots who don't play like Giant killers when they play inferior competition. New England, bar any upsets, will not lose another regular season game. New Orleans 24 Seattle 21 Seattle can score enough points to make game with Saints close. Seattle has a good chance at an upset here. Denver 17 NY Giants 3 Denvers defense is strong enough that Dennelos' foot will again be the Giants only offense, but this week it won't be enough. Buffalo 34 San Diego 31 Two explosive offensives that have been dormant for weeks should finally explode in Buffalo with O.J. getting at least 100 yards. Houston 21 Pittsburgh 20 Upset of the year! The Steelers get caught looking ahead to next weeks match with the Bengals and get knocked completely out of division chase and playoffs. Miami 20 Balthnore 17 Dolphins show home crowd that although out of playoffs, they can still be spoilers in division. Colts loss forces tie for first place.

There was a loophole in it which was used. I think student opinion should have been considered when the constitution was interpreted regarding my case.
