LJ<[iw Parsons Union Building Lock Haven University Lock Haven, Pennsylvania 17745 Marshall clarifies impact of proposed Reagan budget cuts By Kim Willdnson The impact of the Reagan Administration Budget proposals for student financial aid "is not a happy prospect for higher education," according to George Marshall, vice-president for administration. Reagan has asked Congress to deny federally funded guaranteed loans to all college students whose families' income is $32,500 and over. A recent analysis of the impact on the Pennsylvania state-owned universities was prepared by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA). The impact on students would total a loss more than $30 million a yesy. On a local level, Lock Haven University (LHU) students will be affected in various areas. For students whose families' incomes exceed $32,500, 239 of the 1,188 wiU lose a total of $392,137 in the 1985-86 school year. The remaining students whose families' incomes are below $32,500 will face both reduced and eliminated loans. Three hundred and sixteen students' loans will be reduced $209,505 overall. Ninety-two students' loans will be eliminated all together. Dr. William Irwin, director of student flnancial aid, said the budget proposals won't affect the coming 1985-86 school year to the extent it will in following years. The proposals, if passed, will affect loans that have been applied for after October 1, 1985. "Any loans processed before October I will not be affected, but after that date, the loan will be," Irwin said. He added, "It will be in the students' best interest to apply for loans as early as possible." Irwin said that Reagan's proposal, that no student could receive more than $4,000 in federal aid, would not effect very many LHU students. Pell Grants, federal stipends of up to $1,900 a year given to students from families with incomes of $25,000 or less, will be restricted. One hundred and twentytwo Pell Grant awards will be eliminated. This will mean a flnancial loss of $%,544 to LHU students. Marshall said the long term effects of the cuts could cause an enrollment decrease, increase, or it would simply remain the same. "It's almost impossible to estimate. Our enrollment will probably increase, if the private schools' enrollment drops," Marshall said. Irwin encouraged students and their families to write to their Congress representatives, voicing their concerns about the budget proposals.

The presentation will take place at 7:00 p.m. in the Community Room of the Annie Hallenbake Ross Library, Lock Haven. According to Perna, his program will "provide an overview of the past 40 years of nuclear weapons systems development, as well as 40 years of evolution in strategic nuclear doctrine." On the itinerary for dicussion and examination also is President Reagan's current Strategic Defense Initiative, the controversial Star Wars program. While Perna has lectured on the topic many times in the past, he has added a slide show, featuring slides from the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Some of these slides represent early nuclear weapons testing in the Pacific, and a visual represen- tation of evolution in the field. All of the slides are from Perna's personal collection. Perna explains the title of his presentation as referring to the introduction his program provides in the most elementary and historical aspects of nuclear weapons development. He maintains that the average citizen really knows precious little about the facts behind the weapons. Perna himself has been involved in an "educational outreach" program concerning nuclear weapons for about two years. His programs are desinged to inform, he says, and not to persuade audiences to one way of thinking or another. There will be a reception following the presentation, sponsored by Citizens for Peaceful Solutions, a non-profit, nonpartisan organization in Lock Haven. The presentation and reception are both open to the general public free of charge, and all are invited to attend. - By Andrew Ashenfelter One night Mr. and Mrs. Smith are visited by Mr. and Mrs. Martin. Sounds like a simple domestic scene? At most times it would be, but in the hands of playwright Eugene lonesco, who has a flair for giving his characters inane and bizarre dialogue, a domestic scene becomes something more. The result in this case is The Bald Soprano, a one-act play being performed March 11-13 at 8 p.m. in Sloan 321. One of the most bizarre figures in the play is the Fire Chief (Edison Culver) who suddenly drops in on the Smiths with a flre hose in tow. It seems he's a rather shy flreman who likes to tell stories and is extremely upset that there are so few "really important flres" left for him to put out. Every so often Mary, the maid (Chris Schooner) pops on stage to give us an unnerving statement Uke "I'm really Sherlock Holmes," which adds to the general air of absurdity. It is no surprise when Mary and the Fire Chief turn out to be long lost lovers. Interaction between the characters and their clashing methods of meaningless conversation provides the main comedy of the play. Particularly humorous is the jumbled logic of Mrs. Smith (Amy Ludewig) and the bewilderment of Mr. and Mrs. Martin (Tom O'Neil, Lisa Ireland) who can't seem to remember they're married. In the script of lonesco's play the dialogue gradually builds into a crescendo of cliches and pointless amenities until the conversation is no longer even intelligible. In this aspect, this production of The Bald Soprano is slightly flawed. The tempo of the actors' verbal exchanges is far too slow and this works against lonesco's style. Also appearing in the play is Chip Miller as Mr. Smith. The play is directed by Chris Fischer. iSr^^T^t^T^T^NCAA Wrestling Info.ir^^^^^it Thursday & Friday Taped Reports & Features on LHU wrestlers Saturday Live broadcast of semifinals & finals 9ic}iC9ic9|«Hc9ic9ic«9ic:ic9|c4cHc»ie9i(9ie'i»ie9ic>ic4cHc:ic all on W B P Z !

Its second purpose is to malombard me with a personal attack. In reference to Wednesday's paper, Mr. McNamara said, "Getting the Eagle Eye out a day late makes the SCC look bad." In reference to Friday's paper, Mr. McNamara said, "There must be a time policy in regards to the Eagle Eye's distribution." Unfortunately, Mr. McNamara Is dead wrong In his two statements which are mentioned above. Getting the Eagle Eye out a day late does not make the SCC look bad. Getting the Eagle Eye out a day late makes me look bad. Also, there has never been a policy drawn up which states that the Eagle Eye must be out by a certain time, say noon, on distribution days. It clearly states in the masthead, page 2, that the Eagle Eye is a bi-weekly newspaper, it does not state anything about it being a morning or early afternoon tabloid. Once again, I apologize for the distribution problems of last week. We have hired a delivery person who hopefully can be counted on for the rest of the semester, barring any automotive problems. As for McNamara, I would suggest that he reserve his quick and inappropriate tongue for his PUB administration duties. Perhaps he can address my question as to why the PUB, the student union building, is locked to students on weekends? Mr. McNamara, a freshman, obviously has many things to learn. I have four suggestions for Mr. McNamara. First, realize that people are mistake-prone. We had delivery problems last week and I apologized for it. Second, realize that you obviously need to take a communications course as evidenced by your uncalled-for personal attack. Third, keep your nose in PUB administration matters where It belongs because there are as many, if not more, problems In your area of jurisdiction. Fourth, keep your nose out of Eagle Eye matters where it doesn't belong. If you're going to aggravate instead of question a problem. The consequences of your next immature outburst will be far more severe than just an editorial.

However, it is somehow becoming even worse. Students have complained that the 'alternate meal plan' does not exist because at most meals, the identical servings exist in all three lines. Friends have also expressed their disgust with Bentiey, saying they were sick of seeing the same food in every line. They also said it is unfair to make us pay for Bentiey if we want to live on-campus. Also, there are frequent problems with cleanliness. Freshman Kurt Schwalbe discovered a flying ant dead in a spoonful of mashed potatoes which was halfway into his mouth. We went back to show it to the manager, who said this would never happen again. While I haven't seen another flying ant, it is impossible to know if Bentiey is not just grinding the bugs up more thoroughly. The grim truth about the dessert selection in Bentiey Hall moves me to add my grievance. I once became rather sick after eating some of the soggy cardboard served as cake here. For a fact, I have seen the same cake often held over three days in plastic wrappings when not flnished by students/victims/casualities. (The sign 'Sweet Things' above the cake table should perhaps be changed to read 'Dead Things'). Next I come to meat, if I can call it that. I go from one line to another, hoping to And some real meat, but flnding the same garbage in every line. Since early last semester, I have eaten nearly nothing but Captain Crunch and Cheerios for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, getting very little protein. In this way Bentiey Hall has put me in touch with my own mortality, because I'm in much worse shape than before leaving home for school. Bentiey is a complete robbery for the money paid. Things have got to be changed right now, because all my protein is coming from Fratburgers. John H.
