Lock Hoven State College

Lecture will kick off IWY programs on campus

Sun to discuss women, China

The first in a series ot
International Women's Year
programs at Lock Haven State
College will be held on November 13-14, according to Dean
Evelyn Nicholson, chairperson
of the college commission for
International Women's Year.
The general theme for the
programs will be "Women in
Various Cultures."
The opening address
will be given on Thursday,
November 13, at 8:00 p.m. in
Sloan Theatre by Dr. E-Tu-Zen
Sun, professor of Chinese
history and chairwoman of the
East Asian Studies Program at
the Pennsylvania State University. She will speak on "Women and Revolution in China."
Her lecture is open to the
public at no charge.
Dr. Sun, a native of
Peking, attended the National
Southwest Association University in Kunming during World
War II and then transferred to
Vassar College where she
earned a B.A in history. She
was awarded her doctorate in
1949 by Radcliffe College.
Prior to joining the
faculty at Penn State, she
taught at Goucher College and
was a research fellow at the
East Asia Research Center,
Harvard University. The economic history of China is one of
her areas of specialization, and
in 1974 she spent three weeks
in the People's Republic of
China as a member of the
Penn State faculty delegation
to China.
The program on November 14 will consist of two
workshops, both in Bentley
Hall lounge. At 2:00 p.m., the
panel discussion for the first
workshop will be on "Wide
World of Child Rearing." The
topic for the evening session,
beginning at 8:00 p.m. will be

'Sex by Profession-lnternationally."
The panels will be
composed of Lock Haven State
foreign students and local

women from other countries.
The public is invited to attend
both sessions.

program whigh usually takes
place in the host country and
includes intensive instruction
in culture, language, and
necessary technical skills.
Peace Corps training serves
not only to enable volunteers
to adapt skills to new conditions, but also to impart new
skills to volunteers who have
not had prior experience in
that area.
At present, volunteers

"Greeks Speak" is a weekly column designed to inform the
student body ol news concerning Greek life at Lock Haven
State. Any contributions or questions related to fraternities or
sororities should be submitted to Student Publications, PUB
Ground Floor.

(This week's article continues the series of profiles on the
fraternities and sororities at Lock Haven State.)
Yes, Acacia is alive and well here at LHS. Many people have
expressed concern that Lock Haven's newest fraternity may have
fallen by the wayside, but nothing could be further fi-om the truth.
This fall the brothers of Acacia, although minus a house, have
pledged four men and are looking forward to an even bigger pledge
class next semester.
The national fraternity was founded in 1904 at the University
of Michigan by members of the Masonic Club, and for several years
following that time only members of the club were permitted to join
the fraternity. The group was later reorganized and since then all
men have been elegible for membership. However, the high ideas
of Masonry are still a major part of the Fraternity.
Acacia has the distinction of being the only Greek work
national fraternity. "Acacia itself is a far eastern evergreen that is
noted for its longevitity and strength, while the work itself means
masculinity.
Eariy in 1972 the expansion seceratary from Acacia National
visited the campus with hope of starting a colony here to join with
the other 45 chapters located over the U.S. Before bery long the idea
of a new fraternity had spread, and 15 men were formally initiated
as the LHS colony of the Acacia ft'aternity on March 9, 1972. Since
that time the group has won the greek weekend raft race twice, won
the blood donation trophy and placed weel in several Homecoming
float competitions. The brothers, while in the house, gave some
great "Farmer's Parties" and even now are looking forward to the
sweetheart weekend held over Valentine's day.
The many service projects over the past few years have been
highlighted by participation in the American Assocaition of
University Women's booksale, a brownie sale for the Susqueview
home, and the annual "kidnapping" for Galludet College of Speech
and Hearing. Although the fraternity has had problems with the
Zoning Board and was forced to move out the 5th Street house
where they had been living, the brotherhood is hopeful that a new
house is in the future.

'a little too late'
To the Editor:
Re: Letter of 11/4/75
Dennis, I know your intentions are good, and I respect
the fact that you are one of the
few students who use this
forum, but I think if you want
to jump up and shout "conflict of interests" you are just a
little too late. Why didn't you
write a letter last year when
three of the five student
members of the Student Publications Board were also mem-

of the student government on
this campus? A senator
chaired that Board while the
executive committee Corresponding Secretary and President were among the voting
members. The editor of the
newspaper could not even vote
on the decisions that Board
made while the student government President could.
Fortunately that is no
longer the case. The editor
now has a voting right on the
Board which plays an integral
part in how her publication
exists. One of the persons
responsible for that change
was David C. Heverly, who

you attacked in your letter.
Ms. Morse and Mr.
Heverly, as members of the
campus press for a number of
years, appear to me the most
attractive candidates for student government offices. If

A means of
communication
To the Editor:
The primary purpose of
the Eagle Eye is not to express
the views of the editors but to
present a means by which the
students, faculty and administration can communicate with

each other. With this in
mind the Eagle Eye encourages wide spread student
input and often prints conflicting views on specific issues.
During my present and
previous involvement with the
Eagle Eye I have worked hard
to secure open communication
and prevent any one group of
students from having control
of the paper. The Objective
Slate's letter to the editor was
not an example of control over
the press but simply one group
of concerned students utilizing

objectivity, Ms. Morse and
Mr. Heveriy have been trying
to live it since they joined the
newspaper staff.
In your letter you stated
that Ms. Morse and Mr.
Heverly "have been connected
with the Eagle Eye" and
asked us "Which organization
do they serve if elected?"
Since it is a fact that Ms.
Morse and Mr. Heverly have
given hundreds of hours of
their time to the Eagle Eye
over the past three years,
without any renumeration, I
think it is rather obvious their
hearts lay imbedded in the
concept of a free student press
and also a free student.
Why didn't you ask for
justice last year, when two
members of the Student Publications Board were receiving
hundreds of dollars in salary
from the student government?
Which organization do you
think they served?
Ms. Morse and Mr.
Heveriy have written about
double standards, oppresion,
and the problems facing their
fellow students; now they are
asking for the chance to
explore new avenues to find
those solutions. When elected,
I am sure they will terminate
their ties with Student Publications.

that Thomas Jefferson also

As for the danger of the
S.C.C. Executive Board control, it should be made clear
that David C. Heverly's connection is not with the Eagle
Eye but with the Student
Publications Board. Therefore
he does not control what is
published and what is not.
Concerning myself.

that I would not continue my

Guy Fawkes cefebrofion set for today
By BILL MCCOMAS
Staff Reporter

Although we here in
America haven't set aside a
day in rememberence of Benedict Arnold, the British have
seen fit to honor one of their
more infamous citizens. The
holiday is called "Guy Fawkes
Day," and- possibly because
he didn't succeed in his plan to
blow up the Houses of Parliment - he is remembered.
November 5 is the anniversary of the discovery of the
Guy Fawkes Gunpowder Plot
of 1605 to destroy the London
Parliment Houses. Bonfires
are often lit as part of the
celebration along with firecrackers or "bangers" as they
are called in the British Isles.
Also, effigies of Fawkes are
often made and carried in
processions, and are then
thrown onto the bonfires.
The newly formed International Club here at Lock Haven
has brought this holiday across
the Atiantic and will be
holding a mini "Guy Fawkes
Day"
today
at
the
home of Mr. Jack Johnston.
All are welcome to attend. A

As proclaimed by the
United Nations, International
Women's Year is a time to
emphasize equality between
men and women, integration
of women into the total
development effort of nations,
and recognition of the importance of women's increasing
contribution to the strengthening of world peace.
