Lock Haven State College Ea Tues., Feb. 10, 1976 ^^P^ '^^ ^ ^ Vol. XVIII No. 69 Applied Journalism makes T.V. shows chapin win By BILL STERNER Staff Reporter "There's a lot of blue sky in the future of cable television," predicted James Vickers in an interview with Dr. William Reich before a small audience in Raub Hall last Thursday afternoon. Vickers, who has had extensive work experience in the new industry of cable television, was on campus to speak of ilic progress ihai has been made in the media over recent years. "When the idea of cable television came up, money and equipment were no problem," said Vickers, who now resides in nearby Lewistown. "The problem ^was getting the necessary talent to run the show. It wasn't around, so we had to develop it." Cable television was conceived in the mountain regions of the United States, but has been expanding ever since. This semster. Dr. William Reich's Applied Journalism class is preparing programs for Channel 10 on the local cable. The programs will begin on Thursday, February 12, at 7:00 p.m., and run until 11:00 p.m. Vickers had some advice for the students concerning the programming of local shows. Vickers himself was introduced to cable television in Kent, Ohio. He worked there on programs that were made with the cooperation of the town and the college. "To be successful," Vickers related, "You need one or two solid programs of high local interest. If you get the local people on T.V., interest will abound. People always want to see themselves." If the interest level continues to be high in the surround- ing area, Vickers believes that Lock Haven may have pay television available to the residents within 60 days. "The service will be optional with a six to eight dollar per month fee. The programm- ing will be some current major motion pictures that will run on an uninterested basis," Vickers said. He also reported that the idea had been introduced in various other parts of the United States, and had worked well.

Polish exchange is planned for fall By FRED SCHULTZ News Editor Plans are now in the final stages for an exchange program, starting in September with the country of Poland. According to Dr. Marcus Konick, an exchange of 10 students and at least one professor is planned. The exchange, Konick explained, will be with the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznam, Poland. Financially, it will be based on the conditions for which the Nottingham exchange was made, except that the Polish government has arranged to pay the "spending money" for the American students along with special rates for travel. Students who will go to Poland will be required to take one course in the Polish language, but may take any of a variety of other courses there. Manyfieldtrips, including various tours are planned for the American students while they are attending the university. Professor Charles R. Kent, who went to Europe last summer, is the coordinator of the exchange. A meeting of some Polish officials with President F. N. Hamblin is scheduled for March. A reception for them is also planned along with a trip to Europe in April when Hamblin will meet with Polish officials to discuss the plans for the exchange. Also in April, a meeting is planned in Washington, D.C. involving all the colleges in the United States which will be having exchanges with Poland. Any student interested in going to Poland should apply immediately through either Konick or Kent. Applications should be made immediately because the exchange involves not only this college, but all of the state collegs. Students who have already made applications and all applicants from LHS college will be given top preference.

Ecology movement sparks interest in plant craze By WENDY AKELEY Staff Reporter Dr. Kenneth Settlemyer, who recently gave a lecture sponsored by the RHA (Residency Hall Association) on Dr. Settlemyer keeps up to date in his field by belonging to several horticultural organizations such as the Brooklyn Botanic Society, the Massachusetts Horticultural Dr. Kenneth Settlemyer house plants, discussed the current plant fad. According to Dr. Settlemyer, the ecology movement sparked the fashion to some extent, but also as he reported, "We're living thingS"we relate to living things." Different types of plants have come in and out of vogue over the years, and right now we are in a "hanging basket craze." No matter what the form this fad takes, however, Dr. Settlemyer believes it "shows our concern for nature...and man's past." Society, and the American Horticultural Society. He also belongs to the American Society of Plant Taxonomists that specializes in plant classification. Last summer he attended the Twelfth International Botanical Congress in Leningrad. He is also especially interested in floristics and was the first person to take a total survey of Lycoming County for woody plants.

The LP contains five new Hendrix songs and three old ones. The old ones are done in a way you've never heard them done before. For you people who wonder who directs these albums, because Hendrix has been dead for six years, well, his name is Brad Baker. He is also the musical director for "Crash Landing." Baker takes these Hendrix tapes that were recently found in an attic and usually cuts out all music except Jimi's guitar and lyrics. This means you won't hear Hendrix's old band members like Noel Redding, Mitch Mitchell, Buddy Miles or Billy Cox. Baker adds Bob Babbit on bass, Alan Schwartzberg on drums and Jeff Mironov as back guitarist. The new conglomeration is fantastic. The new band seems to be tighter. Too bad Jimi will never know how good his new band sounds. The first song of "Midnight Lightning" is "Trash Man." It's the best cut off the album. There are no words to the song, it is strictly instrumental. There is some very fine lead guitar and drum work. The drums have a deep sound which really sticks out. The next song is "Midnight Lightning." It contains three giris for back-up vocals (which Hendrix rarely used while alive). The next song, "Hear My Train A-Coming" was done by Hendrix at Woodstock. This work contains some lightning fast cont. on page 4 another of Dr. Settlemyer's ^ ' * * * B J * * * * * * < * * * interests.

Hendrix was known for his ability to scurry his fingers up and down the guitar and never get tired. The last song on this side is "Gypsy Boy." It's a mellow tune (something like "Hey Joe.") The second side starts off with "Blue Suede Shoes" which is an old Hendrix tune. The next song "Machine Gun" was originally a twenty minute number on "The Band of Gypsys" LP. It is considerably shorter on this album. At times, it sounds like a completely different song compared to the original one. The song "Once I had a Woman" is a blues number. The last song is "Beginnings" which sounds alot like "Rainy Day" off the 'Electric Ladyland' LP. This album is no doubt one of Hendrix's greatest, but 1 rate it a B plus. A.
