lock haven state college Friday Jaa 28,1977 VoL XIX No. 60 Trustees discuss grade standards A raising of the academic standard at Lock Haven State College and the development of a new degree program in International Studies were two of the major items presented to the college's Board of Trustees at the January 20 meeting. In his report to the board. Dr. John L. Zaharis, academic vice president, explained a new probationdismissal policy which will go into effect at the end of the 1977 fall semester. Students will be required to maintain pre-established minimum grade averages in order to remain in school. A freshman, for example, must earn at least a 1.5 average out of a possible 4.0 during the first semester. By the end of the sophomore year, the student must have at least a 2.0 average or be placed on probation for a semester. If the grade average is not then brought up to minimum required, the student will be suspended from the college for two semesters. Dr. Zaharis has also recommended to the Academic Regulations Committee that minimum standards for Honors Recognition at graduation (cam laude, magna com laade, and samma cum laude) be raised to reflect more accurately the academic achievement of students who are truly outstanding. At present. Lock Haven State's Honors Recognitions standards rank among the lowest in the state college system. In requirements for Dean's List honors, however. Lock Haven's standards rank in the middle among all state colleges. A new degree program in International Studies has been approved by the college's president, Francis N. Hamblin, and is being submitted to the State Department of Education for final approval. This program is designed to meet the Department of Education's mandate that Lock Haven State should serve as a center for international studies and should "strengthen its Liberal Arts program by developing in International and Cultural Education. According to Dr. Zaharis, the program wi" be a demanding one which will attract students of high academic achievement interested in a career with the State Department or in international trade and finance. Dr. Zaharis also noted that the college's request for authority to offer graduate level courses has been submitted to thp Board of State College and University Directors. If approved by the SCUD board at its March meeting and then by the Department of Education, the college expects to be able to begin offering graduate courses in support of this by the summer of 1978. The certification program for athletic coaches has been approved and six courses in support of this program will be offered during the upcoming summer sessions, said Dr. Zaharis. In other business. President Hamblin reported to the board that graduation ceremonies in May will be held outside in Jack Stadium instead of in the field house and at 10:30 am instead of 1:30 pm as in past years. He noted, however, that the field house will still be set up for the ceremonies in case of inclement weather. Approval was given by the board for the hiring of two new faculty members. Dr. Arunkant R. Patel as a professor of mathematics and computer science and Dr. Richard McCarty as the director of institutional research.

However, thermostats in all college buildings will be lowered to 60 or 62 degrees because of a directive being sent to all state facilities by Governor Milton Shapp. Director of Maintenance Don Stevenson said yesterday that Governor Shapp's edict will be carried out sometime today. Stevenson advises all students and college personnel who work or live on campus to dress warmly. All public and private schools in Pennsylvania, not including resident facilities or colleges and universities, are closed until Monday by order of the Governor. Harold Hacker, instructor of many of the physical education swimming classes isn't sure what effect the heat reduction will have on classes held in Zimmerii pool. Hacker noted that the heat in the building has previously been turned down to 60 degrees, and classes were uninterrupted because the pool area stayed warm. Hamblin remarked that no advantage would ^'° gained from closing classes because three fourths of all LHS students live on campus. Hamblin further noted that all weather reports indicate increasingly colder weather, but classes will probably not be suspended even if conditions continue. The last time classes were suspended was six years ago when a winter storm left a foot of snow and hindered travel, Hamblin said. College Players will present 'Rhinocerous' By BRIAN STOPPE Staff R e p o r t e r "Rhinoceros," by Eugene lonesco, will be the Theatre Department's major production this Spring, announced Dr. Robert Kidder, director. Kidder posted casting for the March 3, 4, and 5 production following four evenings of auditions. Cast in the role of Jean was George Strunk, who was seen last semester as Peter Stockmann, the mayor or a small Norwegian town, in "An Enemy of the People." Strunk draws similarities between Stockmann and Jean. "They are both men with similar outlooks. There are certain fanatic qualities in Jean who has the aristocratic styles of Stockmann.'' Larry Harris will portray Berenger. Unlike George, he sees his character as nothing close to anything he has ever worked on before. Harris commented, "lonesco comments on material through things which may not surface for Today and Tuesday the lEagle Eye will be printed in Itabloid size as a trial effort Ito judge the student Ireaction to the change. On IWednesday at the SCC ISenate meeting, the SenaItors will make the final Idecision after consulting •with their constituents as to Iwhether to continue the |new-style paper.

The cast includes two The reason for the change is to increase the quality of the paper both in content and appearance. A larger paper will allow for longer and more in-depth coverage of events and features.

Also chosen were Frances Arndt as Waitress, Lorraine Clough as Grocer's Wife, Sharon Van Treek as Housewife, Ken Showman as Proprieter, Stephen Dewar as The Grocer, Rick Kline as The Old Gentleman, Chris Flynn as The Logician, and Jeff Bombay as a Fireman. The play is produced by the College Players and associa tion with the Department of Speech Communication/Theatre. The second major production scheduled for this semester is the Childrens Theatre play "New Lamps for Old" by Nicholas Stuart Gray. Theatre major.

Voting will take place at the PUB between the hours of 11 and 2 and in Bentley from 11 until 2:30 and 4 until 6. There are nine positions needed to be filled for this election. Three senators are needed from off-campus, two from North Hall, two from Russell, one from Woolridge, and one from McEntire. To be eligible a candidate must have completed six semester hours, have at least a 2.0 cumulative point average and paid his/her activity fee for this semester. A senator is also asked to report what happens during meetings to his/her constituency. In addition, a senator has the responsibility to vote on activities dealing with the SCC. "You're representing about 100 people from the dorm," replied Jeff Caulkins, Chairman of the SCC's Election Committee. " I t isn't a real time consuming position, and I'm upset because people would run and then r e s i g n .

Beginning in 1973 with three foreign students, we now have a program that allows us to host 44 foriegn students and send 40 of our own students abroad. This indeed gives us a privileged rank in the state college system of Pennsylvania. Thanks to the work of Dr. Marcus Konick, Director of Academic Services and International Education, our college environment has been enriched by students representing* a variety of cultures. In addition, many of our own classmates have had the opportunity to visit and study countries that they might otherwise have never seen. We hope that students wiil take full advantage of this expanding program of International Education by meeting and talking with the foreign students on campus and by exploring the possibilities of overseas study for themselves. Commentary:sec price hikes—unavoidable The price of every book in the campus bookstore has risen at least one dollar since last semester. A book entitled 'Motivation' which is used for a psychology course, received an increase of $4.45. This brings to mind the questions, 'Why have the prices gone up,' and what is the money being used for?' Refusing to be iniluenced any longer by those frequent whispers concerning a 'corrupt SCC who's pocketing my money,' I decided to see if the facts regrading the issue could be obtained. I approached Mr. Joseph Nagy, Director of the Student Union, and presented him with a list of student's most frequently asked questions regarding the price increase. Instead of avoiding the issue, as I would expect him to do if he was trying to conceal something, Nagy presented me Letter to the Editor To the Editor: Dear Editor, I find it paradoxical that the Women's Resource Organization (which Susan Eschbach, in her letter of January 24, describes as "...more than a provider of information on clinics, contraceptives, V.D., and gay lifestyles.") should be "investigating complaints brought by female students about alleged violations of ethical standards by faculty members." (Eagle Eye, "WRO/SCC Uunch Ethics Probe," January 24, 1977) What is parado.xical is that one finds this investigation being spearheaded by an organization which promotes aberrant and irresponsible ethical behavior among students and faculty. Of course, I support the end which the WRO is aiming to achieve here. Indeed I would hope that the investigation would consider examining the role which the WRO plays in encouraging the very type of behavior which it finds scandalous. Sincerely, Peter A. Redpath with a list of facts, figures, and in my opinion, very valid reasons for the price increase. I would like to relate these facts and reasons to you to alleviate any confusion and answer some of your questions concerning the higher prices. It is important that you first realize the manner in which the bookstore aquires books. The professor teaching a course advises the bookstore ofthe book(s) he'll be using for the course. The bookstore then orders the specified book« from the publisher which carries it. The publisher suggests the price at which a book be sold. The student store buys the book from the publisher at the suggested retail price, however they receive a 15 to 20 percent discount. Thus, the bookstore pays $8 for the book that you buy at $io (the suggested retail price.) This brings us back to the aforementioned question, 'where is my two dollars?' According to Nagy your $2 goes toward many expenses that the bookstore must meet. The store employs three clerks and a bookkeeper who must be paid. Retirement benefits must be kept in mind. Insurance, ' postage, supplies, taxes and telephone bills must be considered. In addition to the expenses within the store, freight charges must be paid for the shipment of books. Increasing prices must be traced futher than the bookstore. The SCC can not be blamed for inflation. It too, is a victim of rising costs and the vicious cycle. -Susan Shelly ckeroom with the three point lead when a backcourt foul gave Clarion a 1-1 which they converted into two points. In the second half, the referees lost control of the game early and started calling technicals as a sort of entertainment for the partisan Clarion crowd. Four technicals were called, one against the assistant coach, Ray Bedall, and Tom Huff. The one against the coach was a double technical and the refs credited the two point Clarion gift to a noisy bench and Coach Black's raised arms at the time. Bedall, after being hounded, held and pushed around by a Golden Eagle threw the ball at his feet and was immediately reprimanded. Huff, after being called for a foul, tossed the basketball into the air a few feet and was penalized for tampering with a UFO. All of the technical fouls were converted as well as Clarion receiving the ball out of bounds each time after the shots. At 16:06 in the second half, our cagers fied it up 36-36. At the 11:37 mark a 44-40 Clarion lead suddenly zoomed to 48-40 with technicals and added bonuses, (the referees must have felt rather generous that night). With 3:11 left the Golden Eagles extended their lead to 58-46. This lead was cut to 63-56 with 1:54 left, but by this time the game was almost in the bag; the game was a theft from the officiating standpoint. The officials were too loose at both ends of the court, and it hurt us much more than con 't on p. 4, col. 1 Eaglettes show strdng, consistent play during LHS southern trip By M A R Y FEUSNER On January 11, the Lock Haven Eaglette roundballers departed from Thomas Field House to begin an extensive six game tour of Virginia and Maryland. The first stop on the tour was at the King Anyone who has watched CBS in the last few days knows that it is time once again for America's resident daredevil, Evel Knievel, to attempt; Grim Reaper. This time Knievel plans to jump a salt lake full of killer sharks but only after a few less renowned daredevils break a couple of bones to prepare the nationwide audience for Jaws II. American heroes and death defying acts weren't introduced by Evel. Americans always took people like Houdini and Lindburg to heart. Evel was no exception. In his younger days, Evel would barnstorm around the country, jumping any car, bus, or truck that could be lined up and put in his path. He performed most of these feats protected only by a Sportster cycle engine and two rubber tires. His life wasn't easy. He has seen the inside of more hospitals, broken more bones, and been in traction more times than anyone cares to count. Videotape reruns of Evel's crashes makes one wonder what makes him crawl back on the seat of the cycle and jump again. One doesn't have to wonder long. Knievel's Snake River Canyon jump was one of the longest and sweetest cons in sports. He set himself up as legitimate by logging hospital time doing real daredevil stunts. He was an American folk hero. Sensing the time was right. he announced that he would jump Snake River Canyon on a motorcycle, a feat never attempted by anyone before. In the con game, this is known as the hook. The media hype was overwhelming, but a few details were kept from the public. For instance, it was never really known that the "Skycycle" that Evel used lo jump the canyon was registered with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as a manned rocket. AKso the two test cycles that Evel claimed were dismal failures were in reality planned misses. When Evel took oft' on that fateful day and his chute opened long before he reached the other side, the con was complete and the payday was big. Next week Evel will prepare to die in a lake full of sharks. Ask any con man; if the scam works, milk it dry. — Jim Doran Gymnasium on the Mary Baldwin College campus.

Wells had 17 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocked shots, some ^of , which can be considered fouls or goaltending from a technical aspect. His display as .m all-around athlete was superb.
