Lock Haven State College Tuesiliy, April 22,1975 sical makes debut tonight «-t*.n-i •-^.AiT.^ 6y M\RLENE DAVY Staff Reporter "Passing Through," a musical theatre production written for Lock Haven State students by professor Larry Lebin begins performances tonight and will continue through Saturday, April 26. Tonight's preview showing is limited to invitation only, but starting Wednesday all performances will be open to the public. "Passing Through" was born last April after its writer Larry Lebin saw a play which had been written around the actors. Lebin's play was originally intended to be a one-act production for just two LHS students, Susan Jackson and Katie Bourne. However as time passed the playwright realized that there were a number of LHS students who wanted to participate in a theatre production but hadn't the opportunity to do so "passing Through" was expanded. No auditions as one might normally think of took place. Anyone who wanted to participate in the production is, although several students have dropped out for various reasons. Last November Mrs. Shirley Lebin, wife of the playwright, began the musical lyrics. Rehearsals were also started at this time with the idea to construct something as close as possible to a small theatre in Rogers Gymnasium. Lebin is the show's producer, with Pat Ciambella directing. Celeste Rhodes is choreographer, Shirley Lebin the composer and musical director, and Robert Stiver, Leslie Payne, and Garry Mazzu sharing the bill »s technical directors, David Heverly is the show's business manager. Michele Perry serves as stage manager, and the production will feature the talents of performing muscians Shirley Lebin, Sue Krum, Li;nny Wall, Muty Wilson. Lisa Byrd, Steve Hughes and Joe Euclano. Diane McKenzie is in charge of costumes. Principles in the production are Susan Jackson, Katie Bourne, Howie Freiburg I l r - B 0 . . « ^ C»..... tl 1 1 C\oss of 75 fo grodtiafe on Moy 24 By JOHN JAROCKI Staff Reporter On May 24th Lock Haven C O N T .

ON P A O E 4 page 2 Today's Editorial Tuesday, April 22, 1975 EAOLE EYE I Creative energies abound Af o time when the majority of the student population is caught in the end of semester academic crunch, the creative energies alive on campus have not been filed away. Students who participated in last week's "Operation Takeover" of WBPZ's FM station os well as those working on the "Passing Through" musical production have sacrificed countless hours - some to put together a week of varied radio programming, others in labor to take an original play from the planning stages to the polished show on stage in Roger's tonight. A few students have, and unbelievably so, taken part in both projects. The Applied Journalism class tackled the major task of providing programming 8:00 - 11:00 for seven days. Many hours were spent contemplating ideas to develop a schedule filled with something to please everyone. The wide variety of programs, which ranged from interviews to every kind of music imaginable, represented some fine potential in show planning and coordination. This successful experiment certainly makes the idea of a radio station more realistic. Similarly, hours of preparation have been put into an original music production. This week's performances of "Passing Through" are a product student-inspired, student performed, and to a certain extent student-financed. Granted, Larry Lebin and his talented wife Shirley deserve full credit for their playwrighting-composing efforts. Yet it has been students who have worked the clay of creative genius though many transformations into the living, finished product this week's audiences will view. Most of the thanks these students will receive for their efforts will consist either of verbal praise or applause. Their professors will certainly not pat them on the back for late papers and classes missed to catch up on sleep. The college community may have tuned in to "Operation Takeover" while typing, or may take a break from writing final papers to see "Passing Through." Although the audiences are appreciative and perhaps amazed at how anyone could have found time to make these projects what they are, this feeling is a temporary one at best. For the audience, life goes on and daily routines resume . And what will the students who participated in these time-consuming productions have other than a desk full of work to catch up on? Nothing but the learning experience of following something through from start to finish - that supreme experience of being part of the creative process Becouse a number of students have asked for more time to enter the Creative Writing Contest, the deadline has been extended until May 21 •- end of the Spring semester. Winners wiil be announced next fall and prizes awarded. All manucripts must adhere to the Contest Rules, and should be turned In to Mr. Stewart or Mr. Nicholson Room 04 Russel The sisters of Delta Zeta and brothers of Acacia will be holding their annual kidnapping of college offl. clals and Items on April 29fh, All ransoms will go to Gallaudet College for the Deaf. Nuclear Energy; Why NOT? Nuclear energy has for a long time been thought of as the light at the end of the energy crisis tunnel. It indeed is a major potential source of energy, but there are a few problems that would make one wonder about its overall worth — problems that arc seemingly brushed off lightly by those who advocate nuclear energy as a power source. What kind of problems? Well, for starters, just where do you put the average, run of the mill nuclear power plant? Center City Philly? Downtown Pittsburgh? Even though safe, effective and clean by those who favor it, some people still remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the effects of a nuclear explosion that can still be seen after thirty years passing. Isolation in a desert or the mountains seems hardly reasonable, since the average reactor now in existance needs between 30 and 50 million gallons of water per hour to cool it ~ slightly more than the average capacity of a mountain stream to say the least!!! There are few bodies of water or rivers that can supply this amount of water for once through cooling for such power plants. The ocean would seem a likely place due to the vast amount of water available. More problems arise, however, when we begin to think about the cooling process. The cooling waters become " h o t " (no pun intended) and are then passed directly back into the ocean. Water that is only several degrees warmer than that which it replaces can have a drastic and devastating effect on the marine biotic system. Fisheries would by endangered or even completly changed or destroyed. And if by some freak accident a radioactive spill should occur in the ocean, it would render that part of the ocean unfit for human use for an indefinitely LONG period of time. (It would have to be a freak accident, since advocates of nuclear energy tell us that safety proceedures far exceed that which are required- (required by whom?)) Other relative problems include the disposal of radioactive wastes from reactor fuel Presently the waste, some of which is highly radioactive and will be for the next million years or so, is being disposed of in odl salt mines. These salt mines are in a supposedly stable area of the earth's crust. Let's hope Mother Nature doesn't decide to rearrange her living room for the next million years, else our decendents, if any, will be in for a salty surprise.
