Cq-Edhor
Social Work students and members of
the Lock Haven Community Choir

The sixteenth annual Christmas party
was planned entirely^ by Carol Ann

Worit program at Susque-View.
During the course of the evening the
residents of the home were treated to
music by the Community Choir, gifts
supplied by the students, a special visrt
from Santa Clause (a.k.a. student Steve
Shriver), and refreshments provided by
area merchants.
For the students, Harvey sato rt was a
valuable learning experience.
"The students gain an appreciation of
the etoerly by doing this and rt all comes
together at the Christmas party." Han/ey
said.
Gina SundeHand, a Social Work
major, said, "i feel really good about
doing this, especially since a lot of the
residents don't have families and you
can tell that they really appreciate this
party."
Lych said that the party Is one of the
highlights of the year for Susque-View
"This party Is one of the biggest things
that happens to these people." Lynch
added.
Gifts for all of the 160 residents of the
home were solicrted from area merchents

by the Social Work classes, and

"We are a catalyst to mobilize the
community on behalf of Susque-View"
Lynch concluded.

EDITORIAL

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Thanks for the Memorandums
Letters, we get letters... over the course of the semester
the Eagle Eye has
received it's fair share of letters,
ranging from the more negative (accusing us of
sensationalism) to the more positive (thanking us for our
coverage of Parents Day).
Either way, the Editorial Staff here is grateful for the
responses we've received thus far. It tells us that not only
are people actually reading the Eagle Eye, but that they
are in some way moved to contribute their views to the
Editorial page. Feedback is important to any newspaper,
but in a small community, such as the one we report to, such
feedback is vital.
In any case, all letters to the Editor are printed, in their
entirety if possible, edited for length (no more than 300
words, please) or libelous material if necessary.
Oh, and one more thing; Jay and I decided that we would
demurr from any and all "Editorial Responses" (i.e. direct
response to letters printed on the Editorial page). Once
we've had our say, it is only fair that you, the reader be
allowed to state your feelings without us further interjecting
our arguements.
This has not been an easy decision to stick to. There
were plenty of times when Jay and t really felt like
responding publicly to statements made in "Letters to the
Editor", but had to overcome the temptation to do so.
So here we are near the close of the semester and we
finally decided that It's time to get our licks in-only
kidding-actually we felt it was time to let those letter-writers
know that we really cTo appreciate the desperately-needed
feedback that they provided us with.

Dear Editors:
Geography, known to the ancient
Greeks as the mother science, may be
fading from the academic horizon here at
LHU. As of this wrrting there are only two
Geography majors at this university, one
of whom is graduating at the end of this
semester.
One may say, "Who cares about
Geography anyway, rt's so boring."
The only reply ihat I can give is that
many students seem to profess an
interest and concern over such issues
as the prevention of Nuclear War and the
immoralrty of Apartheid, whtoh is well and
good.
However, i am left to wonder how many
students and faculty can argue about the
merrts of arms control with the Soviet
Unton when most of them cannot locate
the Soviet Unton on a gtot>e.
Aiso, I believe many individuals may
encounter difficufties denouncing the

Dr. ira G. Masemore, dean of the
Coiiege of Educatton, and acting dean of
the College of Health, Physical
Education, and Recreation, explained
these changes.
The changes include testing for
teacher certification, an induction
program for first year teachers, and a
program for continuing educatton and
professtonal development for teachers.
AH are effective for people entering the

Another change affecting teachers is Act

year.

Testing will be In four areas
The testing for teacher certiftoatton will
include four areas, Masemore said.
These include basic skliis, subject
matter, professional knowledge, and
general knowledge.

The basic skills and general
knowledge testing will cover areas such
as the humanities, sociai science,

arts.
Professional knowledge and subject
matter testing wiii Include questions on
how to teach, and the person's

regtonal centers throughout the state.
According to Masemore, the teacher

To make this license permanent,
teachers will need to complete three
years of satisfactory teaching, an

addftional 24 credits of work in
education, and an approved Induction
program.
Act 34 will require people entering the
education field to have background
checks of criminal records, and present
any evtoence of a criminal record to an
employer.
Masemore said that these searches
are a resuK of concerns for chito abuse.

Happy Birthday to Y.
Not many people
realize that the first YMCA was open in Montrreal,
Canada 133 years ago. At a ceremony to celebrate
the anneversary on October 22, Rev. Patricia Williams
BIyth, great-granddaughter of the movement's
founder, George Williams, was given an honorary life
membership in Montreal's eight YMCA branches.
The landmark "Y", operating under a budget of $12 million, provides
sports, cultural activities and community services to more than 100,000
Montrealers. It has so far raised $3 million of the $13 millton sought for its
1984-1889 capital developement project.
What a Partyl.
In a recent issue of USA Today, veteran
hostesses Ann Landers, Rosemarie Stack, and Lynn Wyatt gave a few
tips on how to throw a great hoTiday party.
Landers suggests a caterer: "I am relaxed at my own parties. I know the
menu. I have plenty to eat. Ifs always better to over-order."
Stack likes the outdoor life; " Californians love to entertain outside
because of the weather."
And Wyatt cuts down on the boozing;"l do not have a long cocktail hour.
The fewer people I have, the shorter the cocktail time."
I wonder if any of these ladies have ever t>een to TKE....
