Lock Haven State College Eve ^ %t\3der\t% exf/ngufsh dorm ^\xe \\\ Hill Mahon A fire broke out in room 2.'* of Smith Hall on the Lock Haven Stale College campus shortly after 6 pm F'riday. Rich Diwald reporied the lire to Mrs. Merrill the housemother in Smith Hall, who in turn called the fire company. The studenis in the dor mitory had the fire out hy the time firemen arrived. Sloan fo expand by J o h n P r o s s e d a The Sloan Fine Arts Center, which is expected to be open for use in September, has been expanded in purpose. As Donald Stevenson, superintendent of mainlainence explains, "Originally, the building was designed soley for the purpose of housing the music and theatre departments, but wilh the help of a federal grant, facilities were added to accomodate the art department as w e l l . " He noted that the building, which now stands completed after a year and a half at a cost of nearly 2.5 million d o l l a r s , presently lacks furniture, due to cutback of stale monies. " I l ' s a .shame," Stevenson went on to say, " i h H we now have, for example, a theatre which is ready for use in the building, without lighting." The request submitted for additional funds to complete the new building, now awaits approval by the state legislature. Mrs. Merrill said the one fire extinguisher would not wor'; and the fire chief told her there was no acid in it. l'.ui:lc l-'.yc reporter Bill Mahon checked the fire extinguishers in Smith Hall lasl week before the fire and found the two extinguishers in the building which have pressure gauges on them were below the"operahle' condition. One machine was missing altogether and the rest were of the " s o d a - a c i d " type which do not include pressure gauges. .'\ fireman at the scene explained how the soda-acid fire extinguisher operated. He said that apparently the machine was recently filled with water hut that the acid core was not replaced, and a t t r i buted that to the failure of the extinguisher. The fireman ^ Vol. :XVI, No. 114 'Jocks' scared by bomb threat exclaimed " t h i s is i l l e g a l " as he held the extinguisher.

These are the words of Dr. John Schwarz, member of the LHS music department, as he d e s c r i b e d the new musiclistening f a c i l i t i e s to be featured in the s o o n - u v b e opened Sloan Fine Arts Cenier. Atler months of planning Dr. Schwarz, in conjunction with the Radio-Malic of America, Inc., of Hillside, New Jersey, have designed a listening center. I'his center will reportedly surpass anylhing that has ever been employed on t h i s , or any of the other state campuses, as far as the quality of equipment and facilities are concerned.

So 1 decided lo research the project on my own to find a respectable firm to do the kind of high- quality work desired for this center," explained Dr. Schwarz. Schwarz pointed oul. that the cenier will cost an estimated ^35,000, and will contain the best equipment availahle for the money. The cenier will feature listening facilities to be used by 40 students at any given lime.

EAGLE EYE page 2 dear editor. Martin , Rao featured By Betsy Woolridge. I'ollowing Martin, Schools I take exception To the Editor: Bhaskaro Rao discussed the English Novel in India. He traced the history of the English language in India, explaining that it had been a symbol of status to speak the language. However, the importance of English is declining in India as more and more emphasis is being placed on their own dialogues. Unlike Austrailia's and New Zealands " i d e n t i t y " theme, Rao stated that the major Indian theme seemed lo be the capacily or incapacity to adjust lo the Indian experience after being westernized. Rao said that few young Indian writers were writing in l-^iglish. He felt this was regreiable since there should he some kind of communication of the significant themes of Indian life to the English speaking world. He added that Indian fiction written in Fjiglisb barely touched the surface - the great themes were still unspoken. Murray S. Martin, a New Zealand poet, and K. B h a s k a r b Rao, Indian novelist, were two literary figures who highlighted Friday's " L i t e r a t u r e of the Commonwealth of E n g l i s h " symposium. Martin investigated some of the majm themes of the early Austrailian and New Zealand poets. He emphaf-ised that much of the island's poetry involved the analysis of the identity and direction of the country and ils people. He discussed several poems which exemplified different periotls of the countries growth; discovery and exploration, experience of the depression, nature poetry and Bush Balled. Mar lin remarked that tlie "imagery of i s o l a t i o n " no longer controlled the poetry; nor does the idea of always baxing ;i kangaroo in the poem to represent Australian, R e . Hearing at LHSC. The Express, Friday, May 10, 1974. I wish to perso.ially lake exception to a statemcttt attributed to Miss Evelyn M. Nichalson, assoc i a t e dean of s l u d e n t s . In the article, it was stated by Miss Nicholson that the college does not keep records on race or religion. As a student at the college for the past three years, 1 have completed no l e s s than six computer print-outs al registration time which contain a specific area to list both race and religion. Evidently Miss Nicholson is not aware of the practices that take place at the college. Never the l e s s , the lone f a d that these forms are printed oul by computer indicates that some system of storag." of these kinds of d a a are maintained somewhere by the college. ll is quite easy lo imagiiii' how a discrimination r a s e like the one presently being considrred K. pay Pennsylvania schools may be paying twice what is necessary for their energy bills, a Pennsylvania Electric Association (PE.iX) spokesman announced today. Wasted energy "may account for up lo half of your present b i l l s , " according to Richard G.

When the deans of studenis are not aware of what forms are filled out as part of routine registration, how can they be expected to know the intimate workings of a sorority? Francis M. Holter Consider Rip-off orfisfs hurf everyone by C a r o l Si g a r s Every day students who live in LHS' residence halls get ripped off. Hundreds of dollars am an unestimated amount of ersonal property are stolen ach year from dormitory re ^idents. Who a-e the thieves? Mr. Carl N ; l s o n , director of Law Enfor. emenl, concludes that a nuniber of thefts are committed by local r e s i d e n t s . However, a large percentage musl be attributed to other sludents who attend this college. Il is this "student thief" that we are concerned with. Most students who do steal are not aware of the fact that if caught they will have a criminal record. T h i s is sad, because most sludents here plan to enter the professions. Finding a professional post after establishing a record is next to impossible. Students can discourage unnecessary thefts by taking simple precautions. Room doors should be locked if one plans to be gone for any length of time. Large sums of money should be kept hidden in a locked container, or better yet, deposited in a local bank. If a theft does occur, it should be reporied immediately. Stealing in the dorms is everyone's concern. Ripoff artists hurt everyone including themselves. Mon., EAGLE EYE May 1 3 , 1974 Lock Haven State College page 3 Lock Haven nine end baseball season 9-?I by George Morrison In their last two meetings of the season the Lock Haven nine did nol fare very well as they dropped 3 of 4 games.
