CONGRATULATIONSTOTHECLASSOF'76 Lock Hov«n Stat* C«ll«g« Fri. May 14, 1976 . 110 Robinson retires after many years of service By TINA BROOKS Feature Editor Dr. Gerald Robinson, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College, is retiring after 22 years of service at Lock Haven State. While at LHS, Robinson has occupied many positions. He came to the college in 1954 as Director of Secondary Education. Between 1956 and 1960, Dr. Robinson also supervised secondary student teachers and at times taught psychology, mathematics and problems of secondary education. Robinson was appointed Dean of Instruction in 1960. Around 1964 or 1965 his title was changed to Dean of Academic Affairs. In 1970, his title was again changed, this time to the one he holds at present. As a graduate of Pennsylvania State University, Robinson possesses a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Education and a Doctorate of Education. Before coming to Lock Haven, Robinson taught math at Penn State campuses in Altoona and New Kensington and at the Sandy Terry Public School in Dubois. He also taught statistics and research on the main campus of Penn State. During Worid War II, he served in the United States Air Force in the South Pacific, Autralia, New Guinea and the Phillipines. "I've seen this college grow from an institution of approximately 600 students, 30 faculty members and wherein the institution was single purpose in teacher education to a multipurpose institution of 2400 students and approximately 190 members of the faculty and administration," he stated. Although Robinson commented that he is looking forward to bis retirement witb mixed emotions, everyone active at LHS is sure they are losing a very devoted professional and a very understanding human being. "I've always felt," reported George Rhodes, Dean of Students, "that no matter how busy he was he could find the time to help any faculty, staff or student with their problem." Dean David Ulmer, formerly of Lock Haven State, remembered that on the day he retired, Robinson was out of town but had left a letter congradulating him on the Dean's desk. "I've always appreciated that," Ulmer related. "It gave me the feeling of having accomplished something." Dr. Robinson's interest in athletics and physical education have been so notable that he was honored during the half time of a home LHS basketball game this past season. Dr. Matthew Maetozo, Dean of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, said, "Dr. Robinson has been highly supportive of the professional endeavors of the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work with him and to be responsible to his office." "Part of what has been a pleasure in my work with Dr. Robinson is that he is a sound academician and I have always known him to be a very human person," stated Dr. Hugh Williamson, Dean of Arts and DR. GERALD ROBINSON Sciences. LHS has two vice presidents. Dr. Robinson is one and his counterpart is Dr. Russell Milliken, Vice President for Administration. "He sort of is Lock Haven State College, at least for me," Dr. Milliken commented about Robinson. "When his successor arrives, he will certainly have a large set of shoes to fill," added President Francis Hamblin. Exchange program is growing By J ULIE MCGOVERN Assoc. News Editor One of Lock Haven's foremost features is its ever growing foreign exchange program. Next year 30 Lock Haven students will spend time in a foreign country as they further their educations. According to Dr. Marcus Konick, Director of International Education, no other college of Lock Haven's size, with a similar type of students has such an impressive program, or is able to offer students an equal opportunity. Tbe Nottingham Exchange program is currently undergoing some revisions on the other side of the Atlantic. No students from Nottingham will be attending Lock Haven next fall but fourteen of our students will study in Eng- land. The financial crunch is partly responsible for the absence of Nottingham students attending Lock Haven next fall, the exchange rates are unfavorable to the British. Their B.A. program is also in a transitional stage making it impossible for students to leave the college for more than four weeks per semester. Lock Haven students will be able to take courses at Trent University, which is close to Nottingham and has six schools, where as Nottingham has only one. Dr. Konick expects the Nottingham Exchange program to expand considerably in the next two years.

May 14, 1976 page 3 LHS track team finishes a surprise seventti The Lock Haven State Track team finished a surprising seventh at the Pennsylvania Conference Meet held last Friday and Saturday at Bloomsburg State. The Eagles scored 21 points. This was a marked improvement over last years twelfth place finish which scored only two points. The best performances came in the javelin where Dick Bisking and Andy Carey teamed for a total of 12 points. Bisking threw 227'5" for a second place. This was after being out five weeks with an injury. Cary threw a personal best of 212'10", good for a fourth place. Also in the javelin, freshman Mike Figard threw a personal best 194'5" and barely missed the finals. Senior co-captain Tom Burns ended his regular season career with two medals. He threw the shot 48'll'/4" which place him third and he threw the discus 140'4" which tied for fourth. Burns ended up taking fifth after losing on a better second throw by a thrower from I.U.P. The Haven's other finish came in the high-jump where freshman Stan Burke cleared 6'6" which was good enough for sixth place. Three others reached semi-finals. Junior Matt Riley had a personal best time of 10.1 seconds in the 100; Darryl Walters clocked 15.0 seconds in the 120 high hurdles, and junior Jimmy Newsome had a 51.3 in the 440. Coach Joe Coldren was very pleased with the results and was optomistic about the Haven's track future. Others who fared well were Greg Loht, who had a personal best in the three mile (16:37.7), Lou Fiorillo finished seventh in the mile (4:22.5) and Ed Thomas burned a 50.9 in the anchor leg of the mile relay. Edinboro won the team title with 175 3/5 points followed by East Stroudsburg (111 pts), then Bloom (73), lUP (70 1/5), Slippery Rock (64 3/5), Millersville (37), the Haven (21), Cheyney and Clarion (17), Kutztown (12), Shippensburg (11), Mansfield (9) and California (1). The Haven beat three teams that beat them in the regular season, those being Mansfield, Clarion, and Shippensburg. Some of the team members will participate in the Penn State Invitational to be held this Friday, then the NCAA Division II National Meet to be held at Chicago, later in May. Salute is "manager extraordinaire'' By GARY BRUBAKER Basketball Coach Dick Taylor calls him "My manager extraordinaire." Baseball head mentor Todd Eberle describes him as "extremely versatile, very knowledgeable of the game of baseball; my unoffical assistant coach." Who could they be talking about?

He transferred to the Haven in the Spring of 1973 after spending two semesters at Delaware County Community College, first becoming involved in sports at LHS in the fall of '73 as manager of the Bald Eagle Basketball team. "It was Coach Taylor's first year and my first semester here," stated Salute, recalling how he got the job of basketball manager. "I was taking him for a phys-ed course for non-majors and he asked me if I wanted to be basketball manager for the upcoming '73-74 season and 1 said yes." Through Taylor, Steve met Coach Eberie, and Eberie asked Steve to become his baseball manager that spring. "We were 9-11 that year but I enjoyed being manager for Coach Eberle. He was very easy to get along with, which was one of the main reasons I've stuck with baseball the past three seasons." In the fall of 1974, Salute declined an offer from former Lock Haven Football Coach Bob Weller to become football manager, because of a busy schedule. Salute also made the decision at the time to not accept the position of basketball manager, but did however attend all home basketball games to run the clock, as well as officiate some scrimmage games for Taylor. When the Spring of '75 rolled aroung Steve was ready to devote his extra time to baseball once again.

It took eight innings to win the first game. Dave Royer hit a tapper to the mound. The pitcher fielded the ball and threw wildly to first, the ball going into right field. Royer raced to third base on the throw. Then Steve DeLisle hit a ground ball over the mound which the shortstop knocked down but had no play on. Royer scored. The game opened with Susquehanna scoring a run in the bottom of the first. Lock Haven answered in tiie second on a solo home run by Royer. The Haven jumped into a 3-1 lead in the sixth. After a walk to Mike Crone, an error on a fielder's choice ground ball, and another walk to Royer loaded the bases, a DeLisle double brought in two runs. But Susquehanna came right back in the bottom of the sixth on a two-run homer by cont. on page 4 page 4 Fri. May 14, 1976 EAGLEEYE salute Ihs cont.

Salute student taught the fall of 1975 but still managed to make all the road trips with the basketball team the latter part of the season to keep statistics and also to do some scouting for Taylor. Graduating at the end of this semester Steve plans on a teaching career and hopefully someday to become either a high school or college basketball and/or baseball coach. "1 enjoyed working witb ihe coaches and the athletes here at Lock Haven," remarked Salute. "It's nt bigtime athletics, but rather small-time athletics. I enjoy learning and working with the basketball and baseball players and respect them because they do not get athletic scholarships to come here. With Steve Salute's knowledge of the games of basketball and baseball, his ability to work with players and to make friends easily, and his desire to win, Lock Haven State College will be losing, not only a fine person, but a big booster of Lock Haven sports as well. com. from page 3 left-fielder Jeff Denard to tie it up. Galen Miller pitched a strong S'/s innings allowing just one earned run. Ed Sampsell then came in and finished, getting his sixth win. In the second game Bob Weber pitched a fine game, going the distance, allowing just five hits. The Bald Eagles jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first on a Crone wald and a booming home run by Ed Stum. In the fourth Lock Haven picked up another run on a DeLisle triple and Jeff Kashner's RBI single. Lock Haven added two insurance runs in the fifth after Susquehanna closed to 3-2.
