Lock Haven State College Candle ignites McEntire fire Friday evening By LARRY SCHMIDT Assoc. News Editor A fire apparently sparked by a burning candle that fell from its position on a heater forced evacuation of dorm residents from McEntire Hall Friday night as members of the Division of Law Enforcement and Safety fought to extinquish the blaze. The fire, which began at approximately 6:33 pm, is thought! to have started when a melted candle fell from a heater onto a footlocker and ignited a bath towel. A Saturday morning investigation into the fire's origin determined that the fire spread from the bath towel to a stereo, and in turn caused the room's curtains to ignite. From the curtains the fire spread to the chairs and desks on either side of the foot locker, burning records and coats along the way. According to a report given law enforcement officials by the two students involved, Millie Enos and Susan Knoll, the fire develop- ed during a five minute interval during w4iich the girls left their room. Upon returning at approximately 6:38 pm the girls discovered their room ablaze. Efforts to extinquish the fire began when Director of Law Enforcement and Safety Carl Nelson telephoned Officer Barret of Law Enforcement and Safety and informed him that a fire had broken out on the seventh floor of McEntire Hall. Officer Barrett then issued a request for two fire company pumpers and proceeded to the fire. Upon arrival on seventh floor, Officer Barrett found Mr. Nelson battling the fire with the dorm's fire extinquishers. Mr. Nelson and Officer Barrett exlinquished the fire prior to the fire company's arrival by using extinquishers CONT'D The College Players' production of " ^ h e Real Inspector Hound" which was presented December 12, 13, and 14, this past semester, toured at Bucknell University last Saturday.

The co-ed trip which is being planned by the bio-science department of LHS, will be for the first summer session of 1975. Students will drive SCC vans to such places as Yellowstone National Park, a rainforrest in Washington, and the Great Lakes, as well as other points of interest. At each of these slops sludents will do independent field studies for which they will receive six college credits. A major in one of the Geo-science is not a prerequisite for the trip, as any student may apply. Selection of students will be based upon the interest which they exhibit. If there is enough interest at Tuesday's meeting, the trip may be offered for the aecond summer session, as well as in future years. Depending on the response toward the program, the college may pay for all transportation, leaving only food, lodging, and tuition for the students to provide for.

H/any WcEntire residents, hearing these words early Friday evening as they prepared for partying and dates, were shocl(ed to find that the fire alarrr which had soundrrinutes earlier was in earnest. Theininitial reaction was that of annoyance, the usual feeling toward rrost fire alarrrs. The observed practice airong soire students irs to locl< the door, turn out the lights, and "wait it out" to avoid a trip out into the cold. The attitude toward dorrritory regulations which strictly forbid the burning\of candles in residence halls is rruch the saire - and everyone knows candles can start fires, but assurres that their candle won't. Perhaps the! worren lin 717 McEntire thought this, too, but a few trin-l utes away frorr the flickering flaire cost therr IT any of their belongings, not to rrention the accorrpanying eirotional scars. Sadly enough, the reasons for having regulations really surface when it^s too late to reiredy dairage already done. Candle fires are not a novelty to the Lock Haven carrpus, and yet incidents such as happened Friday night still occur. The possible chaos asirrple candle can trigger would seerr to be enough to keep students frorr burning therr. But then, '^seerr to be enough" Is not the 'sarre as 'Vrs enough". McEntire's other residents were fortunate to have counselors and wing representatives who cared enough to thoroughly check to rral gether instead of bickering among ourselves.

The Lady Lion hosts posted a slim 24-22 lead at half, and went on lo win the contest 60-46. The slow pace of the game was set by Penn State and it was difficult for the Lock Haven squad to adjust. The Lock Haven offense failed to lift the lid off the hoop, as they shot their poorest field goal percentage of the year. The fact that the game was not strictly offensive was evident in that the score was 8-6, Lock Haven's favor, after 8 minutes of playing time elapsed. Up until this time. Lock Haven center Barb Hudson had no trouble controlling the boards. Hudson was responsible for 8 of Lock Haven's 22 points at thei half. With the start of the second half, Nancy Hoelzle chipped in an outside shot to even the score at 24 all. Lock Haven experienced foul trouble midway through the second period of play. Barb Hudson fouled out of the game with 8:15 remaining to be played.
