Pre-registration for the
next school year took place this
past Saturday, but probably
none of the students who
engaged in choosing traditional courses, such as Calculus or
English Comp., had any idea
that they could possibly find
themselves in a Belly Dancing
or Mixology class, right here
at Lock Haven State College.
No, the folks in Harrisburg haven't been smoking
funny cigarettes. The fact is
"Free U," a program which
has been continually expanding at Penn State University
since 1970, will come to Lock
Haven State, if enough people
exhibit an interest.
Tonight at 7:00 p.m., in
the PUB Conference Room,
Mike Monahan will be speaking on the possibilities of
starting a "Free U" here.
"The fun in 'Free U' is
you can do anything," stated
Monahan, who is a "Free U"
instructor at Penn State. Monahan teaches a "Massage
from Toe to Head" course,
and he may give a massage
demonstration tonight.
The "Free U" concept is
based on the popular belief
that, if someone is truly
interested in learning a particular thing, he or she need not
encounter the restrictions of a
rigid curriculum.
"Free U" is obvioUsly
free, and there are no credits
for any of the courses taught.

Carter confronts issues in primary campaign
By JOHN FARR
Staff Reporter
Presidential Candidate
Jimmy Carter spoke before a
medium-sized crowd Saturday
afternoon at Brandon Park in
Williamsport. Carter, former
governor of Georgia, is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination and presented
his opinions and proposals on
various timely issues.
On the issue of welfare.
Carter proposed reorganization of the welfare system,
which he would present to
Congress, if elected.
"Our welfare system is an
insult to those who pay the bill
and (hose who honestly need
help. 2,000,000 employees
desperately try to administer
over 100 federal programs to
about some 12,000,000 recipients, "stated Carter.
Carter also proposed to
open Congressional procedures to the public, under a
mandatory sunshine law.
Concerning the tax
system Carter reported that all
incomes should be treated in
the same manner and there
should be no special loopholes
to special interest groups.

Carter further elaborated
on the tax system and proposed a "progressive" income
tax which would "shift the
burden of taxes from the low
and middle income groups to
the wealthy."
Carter was also in favor of
banning special favors or tax
breaks to large corporations.
Carter stated that he
believes in keeping a strong
national defense, however he
proposed cutbacks in the
Defense Department. "The
most wasteful bureaucracy in
Washington is the Pentagon,"
he stated.
In a general message
concerning foreign affairs.
Carter reported that he wanted
nations in the world. Specifically Carter addressed liimself
to crucial issues concerning
the Middle East and the
Panama Canal.

stated, "I would never give up
in the Panama Canal Carter
actual control of the Panama
Canal." However, Carter was
in favor of negiotiations with
Panama.
Later on in the program
Carter was asked who his
potential running mate might
be and he replied, "I honestly
don't know."
Carter was then asked
what he thought of Hubert
Humphrey and he reported
that Humphrey should have
won in '68 and then we
wouldn't have been afflicted
with Richard Nixon.
Carter's opinion concerning Ford's pardoning of Nixon
was clearly defined by the the
presidential candidate. "1
wouldn't have pardoned Nixon
till after the trial was over,"
stated Carter.

Carter offered the use of
an oil embargo as an effective
U.S. foreign policy in dealing
with the Arab world.

On the subject of capital
punishment Carter said that
he would approve the death
penalty when the crime was
serious or aggravated.

"I don't ever intend to see
this country blackmailed
agam. The next time we
should impose a total embargo
on them." he said.
Concerning the situation

Carter will be trying without the support of the Pennsylvania labor unions to win the
Pennsylvania Democratic
primary this Tuesday.

Play's purchase not result
oj high-pressure strategy
By JULIE McGOVERN
Associate News Editor
The question involved is;
hould the SCC Social Committee have purchased "Passing Through Mat Town,
U.S.A." for $6,000.00?
The integrity of David
Heverly, JoAnne Morse, Donna Pasternak and Roseann
Brunetti is not to be questioned at all.
These people have worked long and industrious hours
in student government and
other campus-related activities
throughout their years on
campus. They have strived to
make this college a better
place for all, and each of these
people has succeeded.
Heverly has been charged
with not using foresight in
selling the play he produced,
and his ethics were questioned
because he is both a senate
leader and the play's producer. But looking back to the
beginning, when he first offered the play to the social
committee, one can see that
everything was above board
and out in the open, with no
undue pressure placed upon
the social committee or the
senate.
Heverly came to the social
committee (of which he is not a
member) with a product to
sell, the price being $6,000.00.
Here should be the main
thrust of anyone'sj argument
against buying the plav. Was
the play worth $6,000.00?
Should the social committee
have spent such a large sum of
money on a play written,
produced and acted out by
amateurs?
Concentration
should not be on what personality sold the play, but why it
was bought.
At the social committee
meeting, heated discussion
took place with people stating
strong views, both for and
against buying the play. It
was out of the question to buy
the play for less. Heverly set
his price; it was a "take it or
leave it" proposition.
The committee voted with
only one negative vote to buy

the play. This committee is
comprised of both senate and
non-senate members, "Passing Through" and non "Passing Through" cast members,
with a large predominance of
non-"Passing Through" members. They decided to purchase the play.
People questioned Heverly as to whether the play
would make money. He is not
God. He couldn't predict the
future; he could only give the
facts. The play's excellent
reputation from last year, the
new stage and imaginative
theatre, the cast and the long
hours they put into rehearsal
and the script were all factors
favoring purchase of the play.
With these facts in mind and
the ten-day length of the
play's run, the chances seemed good the.t a profit was
possible.
But the main reason, was
to bring "Passing Through" to
the students for less. If the
committee rejected Heverly's
offer then students would have
paid $1.50 more per ticket.
The social committee felt that,
because the play was about
LHSC and the town we live in,
it would appeal to the students
so they should be able to
attend, paying the cheapest

It's been practically a year since the first memo requesting
input on the idea of an Arts Festival for the Spring of '76 came
across desks at the Sloan Center.
The Departments of Art, Music, and Theatre and their
affiliated student organizations have been preparing a number of
activities which will culminate nearing the close of a very
successful season of events in the performing and visual arts at
Lock Haven State, this year. The April 30th - May 2nd weekend is
also Parents' Weekend on campus, along with a day of orientation
of next year's freshmen and their parents.
For the youth. College Players will be running their
Children's Theatre production of "Cinderella of Loreland". The
show is being presented this week to Keystone Central School
District elementary students and will be held over for an extra two
performances Friday evening at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday morning
at 10:00 a.m.
Behind every theatre production an even greater production
takes place; the design and execution of costuming, make-up,
lighting, scenery, sound and properties. All weekend in the Sloan
Gallery theatre faculty and students will exhibit works in a display
of stage design.
In other theatrical activities for the festival is another College
Players production: three studio theatre presentations. The shows
run in the Theatre Upstairs (Sloan 321) four times, twice Saturday
and twice Sunday. The afternoon series includes "The American
Dream" by Edward Albee, "Adaptation" by Elaine May, and
"The Hunted".
Three exhibits of art work are slated. The two collections of
work by John Sloan and his fellow artists are on display plus an
exhibition by photography students enrolled in Art 501.
Presently in organization are demonstration performances by

Wrong critic likes 'Passing Through
By JOHN O'DOHERTY
Co-Editor
What does an editor do
when he 1.) has written an
editorial that results in the
entire cast of a play being
pissed off, 2.) has attended
the play, knowing full well he
won't review it, 3.) has a
neutral, perceptive, competent
writer named Tom Murray
promise to review the play for
monday's paper, 4.) has a
reserved space at the bottom
of page 2 for Tom's anxiously
awaited review, at 10:30 p.m.
Sunday night, 5.) gets a sorryjohn-i-got-a-bellyache excuse
from Murray, and 6.) doesn't
want to run a news release
about the odds on the Bald

Eagle becoming extinct, at the
bottom of page 2?
If he has no sense at all,
but wants deariy to go the bed
before sun-up, he writes the
review.
Keeping the aforementioned info in mind then, those
readers who have minds to
keep the aforementioned info
in, should understand that
when I say I thought the play
was exellent, I might have
meant superior, but was too
tired to care.
When I write that any
person living on or around this
campus would have to be
either jealous or an invalid not
to go and see "Passing
Through Mat Town, U.S.A.,"
I probably mean such a person

would have to be a moron of
the lowest order.
"Passing Through Mat
Town" is three acts and about
three hours long. I realize now
that my space at the bottom of
page 2 is too small. That's
okay though, because Tom
Murray's going to review the
play this week, aren't you,
Tom? And when he does,
folks (and when you do, Tom,)
I'm going to leave him (you) all
the space he (you) want(s).
Briefly, (boy am I getting
tired!) "Passing Through Mat
Town, U.S.A." is a look at the
life of a wrestler, Jake Corette,
who wants a shot at the Penn
State heavyweight Arnold
Angel, but who's got a coach

Netmen volley to win T,!^^*^''^ '^^^ '^^^^^"8
against Shippensburg
By DOUG GRIETZ
Staff Reporter

Last Thursday in an away
match, the Lock Haven State
College Netmen cruised to an
impressive 7-2 victory over
Shippensburg State.
Winning his first match of
the year was the Haven's top
seeded Tag Helt, who topped
Don Caruso, 6-2, 6-4. John
Hubert (No. 2) defeated Ted
Gensenius 6-4, 6-3, while
Glenn Miller (No. 3) was
ousted by Shipp's Jim Werst
4-6, 5-7. Keith Vernon (No. 4)
swept past Bill Redcay 6-2,
6-2; and Craig Shindler (No. 5)
outlasted Dave Dell 6-3, 7-6.
Rich Morell (No. 6) wrapped
up singles play with a 6-2, 6-1
win over Don King.
In doubles competition,
the Shippensburg duo of Caruso and Werst defeated the
combo of Miller and Helt 6-1,
6-1. The pair of Hubert and
Shindler, however, were not to
be denied, as they beat
Redeag and Gensenius 2-6,
6-3, 7-6. Vernon and Morell
won also 7-5, 6-2 over Kramer
and Dell.
On Saturday, the Netmen
decimated Millersville State
8-1, and in the process set an
all-time record for the LHSC
Tennis Team with their seventh victory.
Bald Eagle coach Kari
Herrmann noted in regarding
his squad's progress, "This
was the best we' /e played as a
team, and seve.al individuals
were also outstanding."
Herrmann referred particularly to players like top-seeded Tag Helt, who won going
away 7-5, 6-0.
Tag hit
with confidence, got stronger
as the match progressed, and
played by far the best tennis
I've seen of him this season."
The Netmen captured the
remaining singles matches
with John Hubert crushing
Bob Leedom 6-3, 6-0; and
Glenn
Miller
steaming
through a 6-0, 6-2 victory in
what the coach noted as,
"Glenn's best played match
this season." Keith Vernon,
appearing more solid in his
groundstrokes overpowered
Bart Torre 6-1, 6-2. Craig

Shindler also played a strong
match, brushing aside Cliff
Wolfe 6-2, 6-4. Rich Morell
added another victory to his
credit with a 6-0, 63 win over
Mike Miller.
Doubles competition saw
the Millersville duo of Mosebach and Leedom defeat the
Lock Haven Helt-Miller pair
6-2, 6-2. Bald Eagles Hubert
and Shindler routed Wertner
and Torre 6-2, 6-0; as did the
undefeated combination of
Vernon and Morell upon Wolfe
and Miller 6-2, 6-3.
Today's home match against St. Francis College at
3:00 could put the '76 Netmen
in an exclusive category - for
most wins by an LHSC Netmen
team.

When 1 watch Ed Strenk
portray Corette, 1 get the
feeling he's either very similar
in character to the clownish
Corette or he's one hell of an
actor. The tempermental fits
he throws and the different
moods he displays in the
presence of different characters add much needed realism
to the serious story which is
told with many humorous
asides. Strenk shows Corette
as a confident competitor who
can be good friends with a
long-haired, mellowed-out unjockish teammate, yet who
senses a burning mission to
"go at it" with Angel.

fulminating, fastidious Dean
Gwendolyn Beckct, played
superbly throughout by Jolene
Borgese. Rachel is played by
Donna Hazen, and when I
watch her on the stage, I am
confused by the fact that she is
not a theatre major. Her poise
allows her to play a recessive
Rachel to the hilt. In a solo
that she performs, "Altoona

singing voice unparalleled, to
my ears acquaintance, by any
casual amateur's.

In an effort to please her

is amusing. The motley crew is

bitch-co-captain named Rita.
Roseann Brunetti is very convincing.

Equally as funny as Brunetti and Simpkiss is Frank

ticket prices available. With
this idea in mind the play was
bought. No force, coercion or
undue pressure was employed
by Heverly or his crew.
Here is where the issue
should have died, but then
i.onfusion aroused among students as to where and how
their money was being spent.
This confusion could have
been avoided if the EAGLE
EYE carried out its purpose to
bring the facts to light for the
student body. As it is the
students' main source of news,
a little more investigative
reporting is in order to insure
the rights of the students to
know what's going on, and
how it affects them and their
money, when such confusion
.irises.
The editorial that appeared in Friday's EAGLE
EYE, when mentioning Wednesday night's SCC meeting
stated, "All Heverly did was
get the senate to take on the
burden of defending action he
already perpetrated." This
implies that the senate is a
puppet organization with Heverly and his "Passing
Through" associates manning
the strings. This is not only a
gross distortion of the truth
but it also fails to mention a
few facts.
Heverly offered, last
Wednesday, to rip up the
contract and not take a cent
from the SCC if the senate did
not back the social comtnittee's actions.
After a lengthy discussion, a vote wa:i taken in which
the entire senate, except one
senator, voted to pass a
resolution to back up the social
committee. The author, John
O'Doherty, also failed to mention that not one "Passing
Through" cast member or
production worker was at the
senate meeting, except Heverly who abstained from voting.
Friday, because ofthe bad
publicity the senate/play
members received they were
forced, in order to clear their
names, to withdraw from a
perfectly legal and ethical
business contract.
To avoid such controversy
and confusion in the future if
members of the student body

Mon., April 26,1976

feel their money is being
unwisely or unfairiy spent,
then they must make the effort
to find out how it Is spent. An
all out campaign should be
launched by the student body
to find out the facts before it's
too late, so they don't have to
rely on biased editorials and
letters to the editor.
Let us also hope that in
the future when a controversial issue arises on campus
people will look towards facts
not towards unjustly tarnishing the names of those who
don't share their views.

coach Isaac is his singular
attitude for all persons and
things he comes in contact
with. He gives pep talks to
Corette, he gives pep talks to
Corette's girlfriend, he gives
pep talks to his wife. The only
one he doesn't give pep talks
to is an unlucky reporter from

Mrs. Isaac, played by
