Lock Haven State College Vol. XV No. 58 Thursday, 1973 EE Editors Attempt A Change We the editors and staff of the Eagle Eye would like you, the students of Lock Haven State, to entettain an experiitient in news publication: we present for approval the new six-page EE. Because of a considerable amount of comments about the greatly increased amount of advertising which severely limits the available space for sports news, we were forced to devise a way in which better coverage of events could be handled. Extra paaes of *hf^ orevioiK ^R size would have been cumtiersome and require stapling. It was, therefore, decided that a folded style may be an interesting experiment. The six smaller pages will present a greater opportunity for diversity of the material presented and the way in which it is arranged. There will be standard locations of certain features such as editorials and letters to the editor which will always appear on page two. You will be able to find sports news in the area of pages four and/ or five. In the case that any long articles must be continued from one page to another, the conclusions of these split stories will be located on the sixth page. With the additional space, we will be attempting more features and other non-hard news stories. For instance, because the Eagle Eye photography has improved greatly over the past year, a "photo-story" is our first brave attempt at diversity. The collection of shots taken at the Fine Arts Center which appears today on page four s the first of these features. It is also conceivable that we will be able to publish more columns and student stories such as the first-person account of f / i " drug probblem which was printed two weeks ogo. Studfnts having featur"' -elated to life at LHS are invited to send them to the Publications Office in the PUB. Full page cover age of big campus events such as ..ulturr' Affairs lectures, i.e. Margaret Mead, Gerald Ford, o .:., is also a possibility. We will run the new Eagle Eye for two weeks at which time full qiueshonnuies will be distributed. Because we feel the new formot is greatly to better inform and serve student interests, we ask you to please cooperate by filling out these questionnares. We will be interested in your reaction to this new paper style and how well ^® ^ ° " Pi'ov/c/e enough material for the expanded space.

FollowinB the slides, Miss Virginia Worsley, senior nursing auministrator for Foreign Disaster Relief of HEW commented on her part in helping children in Nicaragua receive medical attention they need. She stated that the main problem in treating patients is lack of taciiities. Miss Worsley showed pictures of Isabel of Nicaragua being treated in a hospital in the United States. Another picture was shown of a patient needing funds to come to the States and be tre? 'id. A question and ans./er period followed Miss Woi' sley's talk. Being asked about government funding for the project, she stated that no funds were provided by HEW, and funding is solely by contributions. Another question concerned the President's concern for Nicaragua. Miss Worsley stated that President Nixon is for aidinf, Nicaragua. She further commented that a Nicaragua Task Force has been created giving weekly reports to the President. During the presentation, two collection cans had been circulating. page 2 EAGLE EYE Loi-k Haven State College, Pa. Thurs., March 1.1973 Consider Letters fo fhe Ecfifor D o e s 8 7 % = 8 0 % = B?

At one time parking spaces were at a premium, but through the el'torts of Dr. Millikin and the Parking Commitee, some progress has been made. The Riverside lot is never full during the day s(i there would be ample space for the students who live within four blocks of campus to park. Four blocks may not be such a great distance but try it some morning when it is 10 degrees F. or pouring down rain. Many times, family, friends, and relatives must provide transportation to and from classes during inclement weather. If the administration is 4e:ie*:|e:|c:|e:|c:|c:ic4::ie3ic:te: concerned about the parking areas, why doesn't it enforce the rule prohibiting resident underclassmen from parking on campus (although I ser iously doubt that the human rights commission would look favorable upon this action)?

You can be sure that no administrator, faculty or staff member who lives within the sacred radius is denied a parking space! Dealers in Fostoria Glass 933 Bellefonte Ave. 748-5663 This is no longer required education; we are paying money to satisfy our own educational needs. It is our prerogative to fulfill these needs as we see fit, within the requirements established in order to obtain a degree. It is not a requirement to attend all classes, yet it is construed to be one under die flimsy guise of class participation. The ulterior motive of this unofficial policy may be to psychologically motivate those students whose grades would suffer from poor atten- dance into attending more regularly. If a student has not achieved the relative maturity necessary to recognize his potential and his academic needs, he should not be in college; at least not yet. The psychological vestiges of tormer conpulsory attendance in many professors' minds may also contribute to the existence of this unfair condition. Regardless of the causes of this condition, a resolution seems to be in order. As a suggestion, professors could be required to evaluate students' progress solely on the quality of its manifestation as opposed to its frequency. This would pertain only to vocal and other forms of voluntary class participation and would not interfere with any of the professors' course requirements. Still, my opinions are not necessarily resolutions. I only hope to have brought this problem to your attention. After all, shouldn't we , as recepients, have a say in the education we're going to get? Leonard J. Trejo Literary Letters? To the Editor: For the last two days the Lock Haven campus has been subjected to the efforts of three students trying to outdo one another on their literary prowess. The colorful and sordidly detailed letters which appeared in the Eagle Eye seemed, to us, to be a vain attempt at the high school literary magazine. Sister Mary Semi-Colon would have Loved it!! We're not out for the Nobel Prize, we would just like to deal with the real facts and initiate a degree of fairness in judgement of the caieteria. From the start keep in mind that no one person can speak for people in general. The tastes of people differ as far as foods are concerned, and foods must Ue prepared with those who must deal with alergies and other illnesses in mind. One of us works in the cafeteria and in this respect is able to understand the prescont. on p. 3 I page 3 EAGLE EYE Lock Haven State College, Pa. No Long Hairs? MORE LETTERS.... cont. from p. 2 sures under which the cafeteria staff must work. The cafeteria serves 3,200 students a day and students are flowing in continuously according to their class schedules. The steam tables from which the food is served are kept at tne highest temperature possible, and the students are served as quickly as the staff can manage. If the food is cold there is no way that we can see to arrive at a remedy to this situation. The student letters , as descriptive as they might be, have offered no practical solution to the problems. The cafeteria staff has always been open for suggestions. As you recall, in the past two years the cafeteria has distributed survey sheets to the students and Mr. Pronesti reports that approximately 500 students filled out these sheets. It seems that no one took these sheets seriously since many of the returns proved to be obscene. The student pays $10 a week for his meals and has the privileae of eating a maximum of 21 meals a week. I know of no place where one can eat so much for so little (and go back for more as many times as he wishes). In surveying the food situation on some of the other state colleges, we can find that none have the variety or the privileges that wc enjoy. We have a wide choice of bev'erages, vegetables, and salads. The salads are, contrary to public belief, prepared fresh every morning. The calad tables are manned by the cafeteria staff who work to refill the bowls as quickly as is humanly possible. The staff itself mu^t deal with many problems in reference to the students, A few examples of student cooperation are the student who empties salt snMkers on the tables, the student who thinks tnat fun at mealtime consists of sticking plates together with peanut butter (and you wonder why the bowls are always empty?), the student who does not take the initiative to carry back his own tray to the carts, and the student who takes delight in seeing how many art works he can create by mixing all of the various foods together. If you want to see how far you can be driven before bringing your lunch up, work in the dish room for a day. In conclusion, it is important to realize that the ca eteria is forced to work within a budget. We feel that under the circumstances, the cafeteria is doing an excellent job. We defy anyone to prove us wrong after looking at the facts. To repeat; The cafeteria management is always open for suggestions. If you really want to do something aboul the situation, don't talk about it...go to the source.

Absolutely not! Why? Because. This to me was coach Eberle's philosophy as dictated to the rest of the team at their first meeting. I went to this meeting with the idea of playing baseball instead of writing this complaint so I'm not in a position to quote coach Eberle, but since I was there, I believe I'm qualified to say what I heard. In effect, he said that hair would have to be cut to his standards and that beards were absolutely intolerable, and anyone who didn't wish to conform tc these standards would have to be content on the intramural team. It seems to me that some good players who didn't wish tp fit this description were left out. I was! Now, I realize that .standards are found in all walks of lif^ but only because peo- Thurs., March 1,1973 pie want tfiem or they inst don't wish to change them. From talking with some of the players I don't think they fit into either of these categories. The coach is a very important member on a baseball team, but he is still only one member. His job is to guide and organize a team so they can play to their maximum potential. I believe our coach's policies on appearance are, shall we s^^y, in foul territory with regards to his position on the team. Maybe the players should talk among themselves, call a meeting and give coach Eberle their policies on appearance After all they do make up the majority! I wonder what coach Eberle think of the Oakland A's. For any of you who aren't familiar with them, they're baseball's world champions. They were the best team in baseball last year, and some of them had, of all things, "long" hair and beards! Raymond L. Stout Nelson, Director of Enforcement, Mokes Safety Recommendations Students lose valuables to thieves who find the academic scene fertile for items that are easily converted into cash. The problem of thefts on campus is nationwide. Carl H. Nelson, Director of Law Enforcement at Lock Haven State offers these suggestions for students. If alone in an office or room after hours, keep doors locked. When leaving the office or room even for only a few minutes close and lock the door. This will assure the student that no one v.'ill be inside waiting for him when he returns. Never prop open a door for someone who will be entering later. A propped open door destroys security plans and is an open invitation to undesirables. Record serial numbers, model and brand name, and description of valuable items and keep a duplicate copy in a separate location Never leave a wallet or purse lying in the open. Keep a record of credit card numbers. Require I.D. and authorization from servicemen wanting to work in your room or office Never lend keys or equipment to strangers. Keep your car locked and take the keys. Don't leave packages or personal items in full view inside. Students should en-, grave Social Security number on valuable items. Report suspicious persons to your dormitory supervisor. Report all locks, windows, and doors in need of repair. Be security conscious at all times. Remember it is very easy for an outsider to come on Campus and go through a bunch of open dorm rooms and steal what he likes. It's difficult to say who is responsible for most campus thefts, students or unwelcome visitors. ERROR-FREE TVPIN6 Late nt^ht snacks, subs, pi'zu sodas, ERRORITE" BS,l%i^.

In dropping a class, the student must first go to his advisor and discuss his reasons for wanting to drop fhe class. He must then obtain from his advisor a "processing drop card," and have his advisor sign it. Next, he must go to the teacher of the course he wants to drop and obtain from him the computer card the student gave him at the beginning of the semester. Upon doing this, both the processing drop card and the computer card should be taken to Mr. Zakem, in the Administration Building. Designed to give the student a chance to see what a course is like, the class-drop MARCH ; period lasts five weeks at the beginning of each semester during which students may exercise the drop privilege.
