•llu HiWWi lock Haven State College Eag fted., Oct. 24.1973 ^ ^ ^ Thursday Oct 25, The students at LHS have planned a boycott of classes to be held on Thursday, Oct. 25, 1973. The purpose of this boycott is to bring the problems confronting the college to the attention of the atate legislature in Harrisburg. A lack of state appropriated funds has caused the tuition to be increased and the admission standards to be lowered, which causes a higher student to faculty ratio. This has resulted in oversized classes, dropped courses, fewer sections and a lower quality of education. The problem was just brought lo the attention of the students through the discontent of the Phys. Ed. Dept. faculty and students. There are 21 faculty members for seven hundred phys ed majors and non-phys ed major« required courses. Activity classes, which are essential to the curriculum, are immensley overcrowed, (55 students to 1 instructor) discussion classes have been turned into lecture classes, (116 students t o i instructor) The Music Dept. has five full time faculty members for 500 students enrolled in Not Just Another Day classes. At least two more more full time instructors are necessary to maintain the program adequately. A major music program is impossible at this time due to a lack of funds. A Fine Arts building recently completed at the cost of approx. 3.4 million dollars now stands vacant. This would house our speech and theater dept. but the state would not put forth enough money to put in lighting, or furniture. Other departments are experiencing similar situations. In the Math and Computer Science department there was a loss of faculty and an increase in the number of majors. The Physical Science department has also suffered from a lack of course offerings and large classes. There is a need for additional funds and necessary faculty. There is no money for field trips, repairing of laboratory equipment or the science library. Presently we have no book budget for the library, therefore no booksi can be obtained. Only periodicals can be maintained. How can the college graduate up to date students without up to date books? In the dept. of Law Enforcement there is no communication system. They are understaffed and overworked, and there is no emergency or safety vehicle on campus. The infirmary has eliminated hours Ibetween U p.m. and 7 a.m. and has no staff on duty at this time. Also, the infirmary has lost two of their treatment rooms to the law enforcement offices now located in the rear of the infirmary. As a result of all this we have a lower quality of education. A majority of students feel that they are not getting the education that they were assured they would get. In accordance with these grievances, the students have planned a campus wide boycott of all classes and a massive rally to be held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 25, in front of Russell Hall. All students who want to improve the quality of education are ureed to attend. Harrisburg must be made aware of the financial pinch that they have placed on Pennsylvania's state colleges. Boycott Requires Supportll! Last night the formal objectives and schedule of this Thursday's student boycott of classes was decided upon by a committee of concerned students. These problems involve every facet of the college including campus police, oversized classes, reduced infirmary services, lowering of admission standards and no book fund for the library. Thursday's agenda begins at 8:00 a.m. with groups picketing class buildings. At 9:00 a.m. plans are being made for speakers to address students infront of Price Auditorium. At 2:00 there will be a major rally infront of Russell Hall. The committee explained that this is not a day off for students; students should attend rallies and pickit class buildings if they want any results. Approximately 61 newspapers have been contacted along wiht radio and TV stations. But if |students are not seen actively supporting the boycott, our efforts will produce no results. 'students are urged to attend a rally in Price (Auditorium at 1:00 tonight. At this time the reasons for the boycott and lactions involved m\\ be discussed wiht students. Any questions may be brought up at this time. Find out what's going on and attend! Boycott, boycott.. by Marlene Davy Boycott, boycott, boycott, was the major topic of conversation on Tuesday among the students but what do the professors think - • lend an ear. Dr. Reich stated "In general I support any positive student action." However he also didn't know too many details on the boycott when interviewed and said that he didn't think that the boycott we have planned will be an effective course of action. Mr. Day said "It can b e good." on the other hand he thinks that we should boycott classes and then boycott the capitol building in Harrisburg for a maximum effect. He also stated that the real problem is not here at Lock Haven State but at Harrisburg. Dr. Keane's reaction was — what boycott? He didn't know anything about it and being informed gave no comment. Dr. Podol agreed basically with Dr. Reich in that he doesn't think the boycott on Thursday will be effective. He too suggested that we take more action than just on Thursday. His suggestions were letters, petitions, any thing besides just the boycott here. EAOLE EYE page 2 leffers*leffers*Letfers*Leffers*Leff Dear Editor... This Letter Is To Thank Everyone To the Editor: Tliis letter will probably take a different formiit than any I have ever written before. I can't remember the last time I wrote a letter that wasn't bitching about some administrative b'under of exposing a studtmt injustice. This letter is to thank everyone who was directly or indirectly involved with this weekends events. The 1 st is quite long and it would be suicidal on my point to try and remember them all. Be assured that this thank you is foi everyone however big or small your part was ii the Homecoming Festival, After a successful weekend 1 I'e thir it reminds me of the Homecoming blanders of yesteryear...like the time the Homecoming football gime was scheduled away... or the Sunday afternoon concert that was held at 9 p.m, Better yet ask Ross Nevel when was the last time our parade was on schedule! However inconceivable it may be there were aotually so many events that it was impossible for one person to attend them all. Can you imagine that-two events at the same time at L.H.S.C! There are two pe sons who should be mentioned by name, Fred Naylor and M.'. Jos Nagy. I often wonder whether Fred is getting his education at this college in the classrooms or down in the PiJB. It's no secret where he spends most of his time. Mr. Nagy also did a fine job, but the list would be too long to print. There was one item on the list that was typical of all his achievements. On Thursday afternoon he learned that a train might interrupt our parad;. With one phone call to Penn Central he had the train held up in Altoona. That s\ire beats getting some cow ;o lay down on the tracks of the 8ell.f>ate Avenue crossing' Well, not much more can be said ex.;ept one regret that I lave in writing this letter. My involvement in this years planning was minimal. I will take a stand similar to one President of the United States: "I had nothing to do with the planning or the cover-up." Sincerely, Doug Dows President, S.C.C. P.S. You can take the last statement any way you want to!

CED Recommendcff/on Draws Sharp Criticism The recent recommendation made by the Committee for Econimic Development (CED) to duoble college tuition drew sharp criticism today from Student National Education Association President Thomas A. Santesteban. Speaking for 80,000 students on over 1,000 college and university campuses across the nation Santesteban said, "If this report is accepted, it could become another example of the Nixon Administration's providing treatment without diagnosing the illness." edness in its failure to recognize today's educational needs. "This plan would double or triple tuitions, force students out of their planned cousres of study with no consideration of such things as loans already taken out for their future. What are the possibilities of today's students being able to finish their education?" "How can students not be considered a vital part of such a commission?" asked Santesteban, a senior at Norhtern Arizona University, Flag"Where were the students staff.

Coach Bob Weller's Bald Eagles delighted a homecoming crowd of 5,000 as they overcame first half difficulties to defeat Edinboro 27-25. The Eagles record is now 2-2 in the W estern Division ;and 2-4 overall. In the first quarter after an exchange of punts, Edinboro failed to move the ball as the Eagles bottled them up at their own one yard line. From there,, Jim Guerra punted the ball to his 40. Wayne Hoffman gathered the kick in and returned it to the Edinboro 15. On first down, Mike Lang burst over the left side of the line for fourteen yards to the one. Bob Kline capped the drive as he rammed over for the Eagles first touchdown. Kline also kicked the extra point and Lock Haven led 7-0. The Eagle defense forced the Scotties to cough up again, but three plays later a costly fumble gave Edinboro the ball on the LHS 21. In two plays they moved to the ten. Jude Basilc then flipped a quick pass to Mel Monisette for the Scotties first touchdown. However, Larry Littler's kick went wide and LHS still led 7-6. On the ensuing kickoff, Wayne Hoffman gave the Eagles good field position with a beautiful 38 yard return to the Scottie 49. In two plays, Lang moved the ball to the Edinboro 34. Two incomplete passes brought up fourth down and 5 as LHS lined up in punt formation. However, instead of the snap going to Gr«y Day, it was taken by Kline who picked up the necessary yardage to keep the drive alive. Three plays later with a first down at the 17, Bower roUe d out and hit Chuck Vennie for the Eagles second touchdown. Kline's point made the score 14-6. SCOTTIES BOUNCE BACK Edinboro did not stay down for long. Basile moved his team to the midfield stripe with 55 seconds left in the quarter. The sophmore quarterback then dropped back and lofted a fifty yard scoring bomb split end Howard Hockley. The attempt for two punts fell short, and the Eagles still led 14-12. Using the power running of Mike Lang and Bob Kline • Dave Bower moved the Eagles to the eight yard line of Edinboro. Once there, however, the drive stalled and the Eagles were forced to turn the ball over on downs. Moving from his own 8, Jude Basile commandeered Edinboro 92 yards in 18 plays for the touchdown. The drive ate up 7 minutes on the second quarter clock. Trying to retake the lead before halftime. Bower again engineered the Eagles inside the Edinboro ten, only to have th e drive killed as time r an out. Edinboro retired to the lockeroom at halftime enjoying an 18-14 lead. BOWER COMMAND LONG DRIVE With the start of the third quarter. Bower directed a long drive of his own. The series covered 80 yards in 12 plays for a touchdown. All but one play of the drive was on the ground, the only passing play being the touchdown to Chuck Vennie. The try for two points was stopped, but at the end of the third quarter, the Eagles led 20-18. The Lock Haven defense tightened, holding the Scotties on key plays. Moving from his own 45 on 3rd and 5, Bower, in control again hit Wayne Hoffman for 15 yards to the Edinboro 40. On the same play, the referees detected a personal foul against ESC, and gave the Eagles the ball first and ten on the 25. Kline hit off the left side for five yards to the 20. From there, Bower passed to Kline to the Edinboro 8. On second and goal. Chuck Vennie scored his second touchdown of the day with a leaping catch of Bouers eight yard aierial. Klines kick gave the Eagles a 27-1 8 lead with 8;05 remaining in the game. Edinboro was forced to punt the ball away on their first series and Lock Haven's offense had to keep the ball out of Edinboros hands. However, with 3:57 to go, Dave Bower, throwing on third and five, had his aierial intercepted. Bill He inly returned the stolen pass to his own 38 where the determined Scotties took over on offense. Basile hit his favorite reciever, Howard Hackley at the LHS 48. Two plays later, Basile dropped back and hit Hackley again in the corner of the end zone for the touchdown. The play covered 43 yards, and with the PAT the Bald Eagles lead narrowed to 27-25 Eagles Lead Jepardized Again, the LHS offense went onto the field to run the clock down. This time on third and four, Jim Mastrioanni swiped Bowers pass intended for Wayne Hoffman and Edinboro again was on the attack. Moving from his own 43, Basile hit fullback Tom Mealy for 9 yards to the LHS 48. On second and 1, Basiles long pass fell incomplete, but Lock Haven was caught interfering with the reciever. This gave the Scotties excellent field position on the LHS 16i Basile gave to halfback Mel Morrisette and he responded by going 10 yards and a first and goal at the LHS 6. Jude Basile then hit up the middle for two yards, calling a time out with 21 seconds remaining. The Scotties lined up in field goal formation for the 14 yard attempt as the Eagle fans who had been happy before, now fell silent. However, Littler rushed his kick and the ball fluttered erxl over end, wide to the right and died in the corner of the end zone. Along with the ball died Edinboros last hope of a come from behind victory over the underdog Eagles. The bad kick preserved the Eagles second conference win in four starts. There were a great many outstanding performers in Saturday's contjst with Edinboro. Bob Kline carried the ball 16 timet and surmounted 97 yards. He also scored one touchdown. Mike Lang was the first Eagle running back to attain the 100 yard club in a game this year. Lang had 132 yards on 27 carries. Overall, the offensive line showed they could get off the mark as they enabled the Eagle ball carriers to pick up 275 yards in 61 carries. Dave Bower again did an outstanding job in the pa jsing department. He hit 10 out of 18 passes for 1(E yards and tliree touchdowns. Chuck Vennie hauled in five of those passes for 27 yards and two touchdowns. Wayne Hoffman snagged three passes for 45 yards and one touchdown. Matt Buletya and Vennie each stole an enemy pass. However, the entire defense deserves credit for an outstanding game.
