students had an opportunity
to directly confront the issue.
As the Governor left,
he attempted to shake the
hands of many members of
the crowd. Some shook his
hand, but the majority refused.
Governor Shapp appeared to
be defensive, perhaps because
of the size of the crowd, but
he also appeared to be extremely iconfused. He gave
the appearance that he didn't
understand what was going
on. The members of the crowd
attempted to describe the
plight of Lock Haven State
College to the Governor.
Many spoke to him of class,
size, others spoke of faculty
contracts.

there is just no way of having

Department of Education can

The Governor admitted
that he doesn't know at this
time if "we have the best
table of organization, do we
have the best type of organization to insure that the
maximum effort on the campus
is to run it in the best interest of education or the
best interest of the educators."
Shapp concluded, " I

Governor Learns of LHS Problems
A bewildered Governor
Shapp felt Lock Haven last
night better informed and
more aware of the problems
which exist on this campus.
At a meeting with student
representatives, headed by
Doug Dows, SCC President,
the Governor was presented
with a seven page report
discribing problems evident
here caused by an inadequate
budget.
Many issues presented
in the report were emphasized
during the hour longdiscussion.
Dows continualy mentioned
what the students see is not
how money is allocated in
Harrisburg but the fact that
they are paying $50.00 more
a semester and walking into
overcrowded
classroom.s.
Specific incidents were cited
for Mr. Shapp: six student.s
on one tennis court for a
tennis lesson, 5 music professors for 500 students, and
many many more.
Governor Shapp expressed
obvious
interest
in
the
problems of the students. He
extended his scheduled 15
minute meeting with the
students to a lenghty and
productive discussion. "They
have a very difficult sit-

uation here," stated Shapp
to Senator Curry during the
meeting, "This is something
I want to definitely investigate. Here, as I look at the
sheets I was given before
I came up here, all b ut one
cut deals with cuts in the
quality of education, and there
is something,that to me,
says that it has to b e examined."

Governor Shapp acknowledged the problems created
by the faculty contracts and
expressed his hope that

Lock Haven State College

Tues., Oct. 30, I973

Dows Urges Shapp To Invest In The Future
The effort to preserve a
low-cost system of public
education in the state of
Pennsylvania is a difficult
undertaking. A student task
force, in co-operation with
various administrators, set
out to research the past and
present status of the educational product of Lock Haven
State College and to project
the value of this pro duct in
the future. We have projected
what the educational status
of the college will be if our
present funding pattern is
continued.
Although
this
report has been prepared in a
minimum of time, the data
contained here is accurate.
Furthermore, because of the
limitations of time and pe rsonnel, the report could not
possibly cover all problem
areas. Instead, subject matter was selected or eliminated
on the basis of its direct
influence on the quality of
education and the educational
environment of Lock Haven
State College.
TASK FORCE
REPORT
The report has been
organized into two divisions:
the first to cover the academic area and personnel problems by departments, the
second to deal with student
services and non-academic
areas.
Specifically,
the
second portion will deal with
operational
costs,
the
Library,
Infirmary,
Maintenance, and Law iJnforcement.
In the academic area the
problem of insufficient funds
has caused a substantial
decrease in the quality of
education received at Lock
Haven State College. This
problem can be directly
attributed to the failure of the
state to uphold its financial
responsibility
to
the
APSCUF-PAHE contract.
Before the contract the
faculties in many of the
departments were overloaded.
When
the
contract
was
signed, the administration
and department heads had
three choicest:

1) Hire more faculty to
cover the overloaded faculty.
2) Pay overtime to th e
existing faculty.
3) Eliminate or combine
class sections to lower the
overload.
ALTERNATIVE
SOLUTIONS
The first solution is out
of the question. The Department of Education eliminated
the compliment control but
did not come across with the
funds to hire new professors.
The second solution was
workable; it wouldn't cost as
much as the first solution,
but it, too, was defeated
because
no money was
available. The administration
instructed the departmen'
heads to follow the third
solution: eliminate or combine
class sections. Needless to
say, a modest increase in
total student enrollment and
a decrease in class offerings
means a direct increase in
class size. There is evidence
of this in every department
but most severely in Health
and
Physical
Education.
Because of the workload
reductions for coaches, the
decrease in class offerings
and the increase in students
enrolled in Health and
Physical
Education,
the
class sizes in that department have increased without
consideration for the sacrifice
in quality education. Similar
situations exist in the Art,
Music, Math, and Education
Departments as well.

MORE EQUALS LESS
It is a philosophical
question whether the overload is actually reduced
when a professor teaches
120 students in three classes
instead of four classes.
Monetarily and contractually
this plan would appear t o b e
sound. The student is the
one who suffers in the end
when he finds himself in a
class of 4 0 rather tha n 30.
When the student suffers,
then the quality of the

product of the educational
system has deteriorated.
Unfortunately, the Department
of
Education's
lowest priority is the operational costs of running the
state colleges. There has
been a recent cutback in the
300 area of the budgetOperational Expenditures. It
is also interesting to note
that no other portion of the
budget is affected more by
the cost of living increase
than the operational budget.
What items does this portion
of the budget cover, and how
do they relate to the present
financial crisis?
ITEMIZED
REDUCTIONS

(308) Data Processing
Services:
At present, the
Computer Center is housed in
a small building that was
previously declared insufficient
as a Laundry Bui Iding. A new
Laundry was built, and the
computers were moved into
the old building. The Department of Education has declared the building insufficient
once again because of the
lack of space.
Lock Haven State College
is the only state college with
a Computer Science Majors
Program.
The computers
housed in the computer
center are not oven on a par
with the facilities of other
state colleges that do not
have a computer major.
Lastly , a proposal has
been devised to increase EdHcational output from the Computer Center and reduce operational cost by $2,000.00 a
year, but it is held up in Harrisburg at this time.
(330) Postage: This item
presents a problem to all the
state colleges. Ir January
there will be a 25 percent
increase in postage costs.
Heating Fuel: Heating
fuel also presents a substancial problem to Lock Haven
State College. Fuel oil has
increased from 14 cents a
, gallon to 22 cents a gallon
' and probably to 40 cents a
gal Ion betore winter is over.
Unfortunately the Library is

grouped
with
operational
costs of running the college.
What better way to reduce
the quality of an educational
system than to cut the basic
resource of every educational
system —its library.
Recently, a metal-sensitive security system was
installed in the Library, but
there isn't enough money to
buy metal plates for the books
to protect them. The number
of books purchased this
year was the lowest since
1962-63. The Library can't
even use the revenue from
lost or stolen books for replacements because the money
goes straight to Harrisburg.
The average date on the
books is 1958.
New books can't be
purchased, old books can't
be repaired and stol en books
can't be replaced. Not a very
impressive outlook for the
learning center of the campus.
FUTURE BLEAK
The projection for this
area is far more depressing
than the past.
To
cover
increased
personell costs the operations
budget was cut $72,032. How
can you find $72,032 in a
budget that i s already suffering from increased postage
and fuel costs, and lastly,
that must fight cost-of-living
increases in almost every
area? What subdivisions will
be cut to provide this money?
Will we stop putting gas in
the state'cars? Forget about
buying medical supplies for
the Infirmary? The Library?
Further discussion needs
to be directed towards the
Infirmary situation. In the
past four years the Infirmary
has suffered a cutback both
in personel and in bed space.
Consequently, the coverage
during the night was eliminated. Students can no longer
receive medical aid by calling
the Infirmary. Their only
recourse is to call Security.
If hospitalization is necessary,
the student must find his
own way or locate the single
security individual and ask
him for transportation to and
from the hospital.

Tues., Oct. 30, 1973
continued from page 4
The Law Enforcement
Department is in no better
condition. According to a
study done by the Department
of Education, Lock Haven
State College should have
twelve security men. Since
the money is not available,
we have eight men to cover
21 shifts*Attempts have been
made to procure emergeruiy
vehicles and equipment (Ex.
Communications System). At
present there is no communication system at all. During
the day security men must
call in every 15 minu tes by
telephone to see if- they are
needed anywhere on campus.
At night they have two
walkie-talkie units on loan
from the Maintenance Department, but the base station
for the mobile units is in the
Administration Building, and
the Law Enforcement Office
is in the Infirmary. If the
Security Office gets an
emergency call, the desk
guard must run down to the
base station. Even this
awkward situation may not
work because there are many
blind spots on campus where
the base station does not
reach the mobile unit.
Not enough personnel,
improper equipment, and no
emergency transportation —
what will happen when
emergency equipment and
communication is needed?!
Shall we wait and find out?

PARTIAL PICTURE

This paints a partial
picture of the plight of Lock
Haven State College. All
the lower priorities have been
suffering fori years, and now
the top priority, personnel
costs, is suffering. Can the
strategy of transferring funds
within the budget be justified?
Is it educationally sound?
Can you take anymore money
from the Library? The Infirmary? How long will it be
until personel costs are 100
percent of the budget? The
money came from operational
costs ans equipment this
time. Where will it come
from next time? Can this
pattern be continued or must
we find an altemati ve? Can

EAGLE EYE
funds be found outside the
institutional
budget? The
rtonies come from two sources:
taxes and tuition. If we are
dedicated to preserving
quality low-cost public higher
education, then we have no
alternative. The funds must
be appropriated by the legislature, not through increased
tuition.
Investment in education
is an investment in the future.
The better the Educational
System, the better the future.

Guest Editorial
By Lloyd Peters
For the first time sin ce, I've been a student at Lock Haven,
I am genuinely proud of the student body. They were educated
and they were concerned enough to stand out in the wet and
cold for three hours for a cause they termed just.
The organization and cooperation displayed by the students
faculty, and administration at LHSC during the past week can
not be adequately expressed by mere words. The best way I can
term it is a "tremendous emotional high". A "high" that I have
never experienced. A"high" that I never want to forget.
I forsee the era of the apathetic student being replaced by
an era of concern, A genuine concern for the total education of
the individual.
What started as a "What the hell. Let's boycott, there's
nothing elso to do," was transformed into an atmosphere of
educated awareness. It is my hope that this awareness will become
a root in the soil of Lock Haven. A root that will sprout and
grow and reach for the sky.

Some People Get Involved
The student body of
LHSC is comprised of nice
people, primarily from small
towns, friendly/ individuals,
pleasant, easy to get along
with. These persons have
not been overly enthusiastic
in recent years in any overt
display of school spirit - for
any cause. This comfortable
apathy came to an abrupt halt
on the evening of Monday,
October 29, 1973. From a
professors' point of view;
hundreds of well behaved
students congregated on the
campus to indicate their
concern with the quality of
education at LHSC on the
evening when the Governor
of Permsylvania came to the
campus. The students were
extremely orderly, perfectly
behaved. They stood for tliree
hours in intermittent rain
awaiting the Governor's exit
from Bently Hall. They waited
and waited patiently - candles
burning and burning. Quiet,
order, control - the trademarks
of this demonstration. Then
the dramatic moment when
the Governor did descend the
steps; walk along the streets
and see hundreds of students
waiting, still. He walked
along the crowded street - he
was impressed - he was
surprised - he was bewildered
by the extensive number of
interested people who had
waited, patiently, to show
him that they were personally
concerned with education at
LHSC. He stopped and spoke
with a number of students
and some faculty for almost
an hour.

the support to do what we
must do in order to insure
that education at LHSC will
continue to be of high quality.
Lock Haven's
finest
hour -(three hours) occured
last night when 2,000 students
stood silently, with candles
and umbrellas in hand, to
mourn the death of higher
education. Instead of higher
education dying at Lock
Haven - student apathy died
last night. The Governor was
literally bowled over by the
demonstration. He walked
down a silent line of students
expecting hand shakes and
greetings; he received instead
cold - silent stares. He asked

news worthy events.
A newspaper's job is to
inform the people and at the
same time print what they
want to read about. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday
saw three very good papers
that, in fact, did just this —
these issues concentrated
most of their coverage on the
boycott activities.

boycott and the financial
state of affairs was caught
accurately and thoroughly:
professors* "views,
legal
aspects of teachers' contracts, supportive statements
by college administrators,
autlines of scheduled activities, statistics on budget,
student/faculty ratios, and
much more.
The coverage of Thursday's activities in Friday's
paper was exceptional. The
use of the photograph on the
front page was clever — the
crowd at that rally looked like
a million people. The headr
line on the front page featured
the word "dilemma" - spelled
with four m's. Many students
wondered, "Is that a mistake?"
Mistake or not it was a
unique way to get th e attention of the readers. It also
served to emphasize the
seriousness of this whole
situation.
Photos, headlines and
especially copy were all
exceptional in the past week's
coverage of an important
situation.
Photographers,
Eagle Eye reporters who had
to stay up late at night to
write the articles so they'd
make the next day's paper,
typists who were up even
later, and the lay-out staff
and editors who spent a few
nights in the Eagle Eye
office until early hours of
the morning - these people
deserve a round of applause.
Doing their part in the
communication
process —
helping students communicate
their ideas to Harrisburg the Eagle Eye staff did an
extremely good job where
they were most needed: they
first infonned the student
body. Without their fine job*
of reporting the news o n the
Lock Haven State campus,
from the very beginning of
last week, I'm not so sure
there would have been any
news or anything to report.
Very truly yours,

Almost
by Robert Singer
On Saturday, October 27,
the LHS Soccer team lost to
ItKliana University of Pennsylvania 1-0. The lone goal
was scored at 21:16 in the
first half by Dave Suszwich,
with an assist
from Dan
Lasigo. Lock Haven goalie
Steve Tanner came out of the
goal to block the shot, and
it was kicked by him into the
net.
The lUP players involved could have
been
called offsides, according to
LHS head coach Karl T.
Herrmann. However, one
official,
wh)m
Herrmann
described as "weak", did
not call it (it was not the
other official's responsibility
to call it), and
left a
questionable air around the
situation.
The loss, was not due
strictly to bad officiating,
although that may have been
a contributing factor. A
combination of bad breaks,
and some sloppy play, no
doubt had something to do
witli
the booters*
third
straieht loss.

Doesn't Count
For example. Lock
Haven outshot Indiana 31-5,
and was ahead 6-0 on corner
kicks, but even with all their
shots and offensive drives,
the Eagles were unable to
score. Very often Bald Eagle
forwards would mount a drive,
and when a goal seemed very
likely, a kick from too far
out would send the ball over
the net, or the goalie grabbed
it, or someone would be out
of place and the ball eventually came back to midfield. Toward the end of the
first half, several drives
which a peared good at first
glance, suffered one of the
above fates. Although it
looked as though with all the
pressure put on him Indiana's
goalie would falter, he never
made any mistakes, and the
score remained 1-0 at half
time.
All this is not to say
that the Bald Eagles played
a bad game. This performance
represents an improvement
over the previous two weeks'
losses by 2-1 margins to both
Slippery Rock and East
Stroudsburg. Control by LHS

at midfield was evident, and
there was generally good
quality play over the rest of
the field as well. Herrmann
remarked later, "we did
everything but put the ball in
to the net." The team did
approximately
that,
but
"almost" doesn't count, as
those who saw the game are
painfully aware.
The JV's, by the way,
got more than revenge for the
varsity in their game, routing
the Indiana Jayvees 9-1, and
swamping the goalie with 29
shots, as opposed to Indiana's 4.
The booters' next game
comes this Tuesday at 3:30
against St. Vincents College.
St. Vincents, like Indiana,
has a record around .500.
"We're expecting to win,"
says Herrmann. That's not
unreasonable.
Let's
pray
that it comes true this time,
however.

Ikiru,Japanese Humanities Film
"That the Japanese film
is known at all in the West is
due mainly to the pictures of
Akira Kurosawa." Those are
the words of
the great
Japanese
actor,
Toshiro
Mi fune.
Kurosawa, as well as
Japanese films, came into
the view of the West in 1950
with Rashomon, This visualization of an old Japanese
folktale brought the Japanese
director world acclaim at the
Venice Film Festival.
When Kurosawa received
the award, he said, "Everyone likes to receive prizes
and so I'm happy...but I'd be
even happier if 1 were getting
it for having shown something
of contemporary Japan."
llkiru,
this
week's
Humanities film, is just such 4
film. The film's main character, a minor bureaucrat
named Wutanabe, learns that
he has cancer of the stomach
and has only a year and a
(half to live.

Wutanabe realizes that
the past 25 years spent a s a
cog in Japan's technocracy
have been a waste. He realizes that he has been
a
functioning corpse all those
years.
He begins to do the old
"Run For Your Life" bit,
drinking and taking up with
an office girl who is half his
age.
Watanabe finds this lifs
of hedonism just as empty
and when he tries to tell his
son of the cancer, his son
misunderstands and thinks he
is trying to broach the subject of the girl. His son
forbids him to talk about her
and reminds his father of his
rights as his only heir.
In the next sequence,
Watanabe remembers younger
days, and his wife's funeral.
He remembers when his son
had an attack of appendicitis.
His son asks to stay by his

1 side but Watanabe is too
busy.
Watanabe realizes that
even now his life is empty
and meaningless. He realizes
that he has done his job as a
parent. His son is as devoid
of feeling a s Watanabe himself once was.
Watanabe goes to a
restaurant to meet the office
girl one last time. Atthe
restaurant, someone is having
a birthday party. This is
Watanabe's own birth; he
begins to live himself.
Watanabe rushes back
to his office and gets a
yellowing petition to turn a
wasteland into a park. He
runs from his office with the
stride of a young man.
At this point, Kurosawa
breaks the film. The narrator
announces that 6 months
hence, Watanabe dies.
Kurosawa moves the
action to Watanabe's wake so
that he can view Watanabe's
future in retrospect. (Go to
the film. Then that last
sentence will make sense.)
We find out from the
conversation that Watanabe
spent
those six months
getting the park built. He
froze to death, swinging on
a swing in the park h e built
during a srww storm. He died
a happy death because he
finally accomplished something.
Ikiru (which i s , by the
way, the intransitive Japanese verb meaning to live)
is one of Kurosawa's best;
honored both in Japan and
abroad.
As always, the film will
be shown on Tuesday at
7:30 in Raub 408. On Wednesday, it will be shown in
Ulmer Planetarium at 8 p.m.

EAGLE EYE

Future Goals
Outlined
Do you want a better
world? Someone had better
want an improved earth.
The creation of a 'Contemporary World problems
Center has been proposed by
the steering committee of
L H S s "TOMORROW" program
as a major goal of future development.
The center would like to
attract all students who wish
to use their talents for the
betterment of the world. This
proposal calls for the development of environmental studies,
which would include the
establishment of a consortium
in fresh-water ecology.
Other areas of development would include programs
in medical technology and
physical therapy, a government
service program to develop
public
administrators, an
expanded geography and world
resources program, and a
management and marketing
program.
The development of a
future direction for Lock Haven
is being undertaken as part
of a state wide planning effort
for all 14 state colleges and
universities.
The college proposed to
strengthen existing programs
through further development
in the areas of early childhood
education, library and instructional media sciences, and
health education and recreation. Other proposals include
the development of non-degree
programs, graduate study in
certain selected areas, and
the increase of international
study and exchange programs,
such as the curre' i rtudent
exchange program with the
Nottingham College of Education in England.
Members of the steering
committee who developed the
"concept for the future" document are Mrs. John Akeley,
president of the Alumni Association; Dr. Russell Milliken,
administrative vice president;
Dr. Gerald Robinson, academic
vice president; Michael Holter
and Gail Simpson, students;
Dr. Robert Scherer, professor
ef biology; Lee Van Horn, asaociate professor of French;
and William F . Williams, Board
of Trustees.
