Lock Hoven State Colle Eve w ^ Vol. XVI, ) No. 72 Vol. Congressman Albert Johnson visits campus By Mike Holter In the background repr e s e n t a t i v e s of the SCC Executive Committee could be heard d i s c u s s i n g the matter of protocol. In the front of the T.V. lounge a man of medium stature d r e s s e d in a gray busine';s suit with a prominent flag lapel pin made small talk with two students seated in the front row. Looking first at the clock and then out into the small group of s t u d e n t s , faculty and other interested parties the gentleman questioned, " I s this all you a r e expecti n g ? " Thus began die open discussion period with Congressman Al ber t W. Johnson, Representative from Penns y l v a n i a ' s 23rd D i s t r i c t . It apathy and distrust are current bywords with the American public concerning politicians, the student body of Lock Haven would have to be considered almost 100% American. At 3:10 p.m. on Friday, F e b . 8th, there were less than 3 0 people present to hear Mr. Johnson. Some of those present were s e e n visibly dozing, while o t h e r s sat on the edge of their chairs hoping to get a question asked. "SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE SOONER" I'm here on campus today at the invitation of Dr. Hamblin. He comes to Washington seeking funds. We try to h e l p . Wc like him. He thought perhaps the students might want to lalk with m e . " Representative Johnson then provided the meager audience with his congressional background. Both lengthy and impressive, the data along with the thoughts of his current philosophy took almost one half hour of the allotted discussion iime. Reflecting on his role as a member of congress Johnson s t a t e d "1 should have been here sooner....but maybe 1 w a s n ' t invited to c o m e . " He then went on to mention his one to two questionnarres and three n e w s l e t t e r s that are received by residents of his district. " T h i s way I can let the people know what the issues are, and how 1 feel about t h e m . " " 1 try to get home to somewhere within my district every weekend. My d i s t r i c t eoveis eleven counties and is ihe largest in the s t a l e . I leave Washington Tluusdax niglit, drive wherever I'm going because ot Isek ol airline facililies back in Pa. On Friday I visit some place like l.ock Iiaven, then Sunday after noon its back lo Washington." Questions During and the Answers i|ueslion c o l l i , ini pace 4 Pennsylvania Student Lobby-A joint effort by Bill Mahon The Birth of a Nation may have taken place Saturday when representatives from community crdl e g e s , s t a t e owned c o l l e g e s , s t a t e related c o l l e g e s , and private colleges met at Penn State University. If s u c c e s s ful, that nation could consist of the 500,000 college students in Pennsylvania. Students from Penn S t a t e , Juniata, Wilkes, Allegheny, and approximately ten other colleges assembled to lay the foundations for a student government association which could represent the interests of every college student in Pennsylvania. Of the 200 questionniiires sent out, only one returned which was not in favor of the organization. The reason for the relatively small attendance was attributed to heavy snowfall and the gasoline shortage. Several s c h o o l s , including Temple University called the day before to assure their full support although they could not attend because of one eii^is or another. The major order ol b u s i n e s s coniliicted was 1 lie issuing of a statenienl of priorities and pressing topics for discussion in the lulure. The statenienl is as lidlows: "Tlie purp( students, and to serve as a source oj information for ull I'eniisylvunia higher education institutions and to act a.s a liason between these institutions and the state government. /I second, bul also equally imporlant fmrpose will he to muiiitain the cohesi'\'eness nf these students as a reciigni zed viable political force." The organization will not replace the existing organizations of the National Student Lobby, National Student A s s o c i a t i o n , and the Commonwealth Association of Sliuleiits. K.itb.-r, it will supplement them and in most e a s e s llie P.S.L. will have more ol a LIII ect effect on Ihe college sludents of Pennsylvania. I'he group agreed to niL-el again on Maich 23. Ihey divided llie stale into len sections so that sehools present could contact some of the 188 institutions of higher education in their region. Joe t{uculano, of Lock Iiaven Stale, agreed to conlacl schools in the Norlhern lier and North Central regions of the state . Several people, not presently students, appeared at the meeting in an advisory capacity including Doug Dows, former student goverrh ment president at LHSC. Mr. Dows will be starting his new job as lobbyist for the Commonwealth Association of Students in Harrisburg today. Also attending the meeting from Lock Haven was student government president Rich DeBernardo. •^ —iitanw EAGLE EYE page 2 - Lock Iiaven Stale College Due Tanzanian sfudenf finds LHS friendly by Bonnie Gilbert Students from many parts of the world have attended LIIS and this s e m e s t e r the faraway country of Tanzania is represenleil.

Sincerly, Scared Mon., F e b . 11. 1974 EAGLE E\T. Eaglettes lose to Federal City 57-51 by George Morrison On a cold February 9ih, two teams met in Thomas Field House. The purpose of the meeting was a basketball game between Lock Haveii State and Federal Citv College. The outcome, after a hard fought battle found Federal City on top 57-51. T h e score b e l i e s the action, however, as Lock Haven was ahead by 17 at one point. EAGLES TAKE EARLY LEAD Federal City started out c a r e l e s s l y due to the well executed press put on by Lock Haven. The E a g l e s on the other hand started out very well and the score was 17-7 with close to three minutes gone. Then Lock Haven seemed to relax with their early lead and at the close of the first period found themselves leading by two instead of ten, 17-15. Lock Haven scored first again opening the second period of play. The E a g l e s went into a more controlled game and started running up the score. Federal City was hindered by their excessive fouling and trailed by 17 with 4:49 to go in the half. F . C . C . then changed to a man to man defense which must have helped because Lock Haven led by 13 points at halftime, with the score 36-23. Federal City had a total of 18 personal fouls while Lock Haven collected only 8. High scorers in the first half for the Eaglettes were Debbie Schlegel and Barb Collins with 8 and 7 respectively. LEAD NARROWS In the second half. F e d eral City started its climb back to regaining the lead with 6 unanswered points. Federal City narrowed the Eaglette's lead a s they pulled to within five and then two with thiee minutes left in the period. The Lock Haven defense continued to be rattled with 1:58 to play in the third quarter as F . C . C . pulled to within one point. Debbie Schlegel kept l.ock Hiven out ill front though with offensive and defensive plav ill the closing moments of the third quarter. Bul then b'.C.C. tied the score with 27 seconds to go and took the lead with a bucket al the ten second mark. Slill the girls didn't give up as Barb Soil bit a buzzer basket lo tie the score al 43-all. The fourth quarter saw fast moving and agressive action with both teams trailing b a s k e t s . Yet, Federal's continuing occurence of fouls liindered their plav. Two of their starting plavcrs fouled out but their strong bench did the job and kept the game moving. With 3:43 remaining in the game the score was 51-4 9 in favor of page 3 Lock Haven Slate College l-.C.C.
