Lock Haven State College Low meeting attendance evidences quiet campus By PHILIP BURLINGAME Assistan-fNews Editor JIM DORAN Staff Reporter President Francis Hamblin, in an "open meeting" held in Ulmer Planetarium yesterday afternoon, expressed the • belief that, except for a few minor issues, all is quiet on the campus. His opinion was clearly evidenced by the fact that, aside from the Eagle Eye contingent, no one else was present to raise a question or take issue with any administrative decisions. Ignoring the fact that the open meeting had become an informal press conference Hamblin proceeded to discuss some of the still unresolved problems on campus. He remarked that one current major concern for many students is the investigative procedures used by the college Law Enforcement and Safety Division. He noted that the S.C.C. and the Student Life Office are reviewing the subject and that a resolution is pending. Moving quickly to budget problems Hamblin expressed his disatisfaction with a recent decision by Pa. Budget Secretary Mcintosh to halt any additional hiring of college personnel by saying "it kills us when we try to run a good college." He added that the state college system could lose $178. million in yeariy Federal subsidies through violation of certain fair labor laws. Commenting on the college'sfiscalsituation in general, Hamblin said, "We're not quite as badly off this year as we were last year." When asked if there would be a room rent increase for next year he said, "Room costs may rise, but we are a people's college and should keep costs at an absolute minimum." Speaking about the long debated Arts and Science reading list requirement Hamblin said, "1 approved the final recommendation over the weekend and it is now officially defunct." At the end of the meeting Hamblin attempted to set the record straight by saying that neither he nor his traditional Homecoming outfit are Texan in origin as was reported by the Eagle Eye. He noted that cont. on page 4 LARGE AUDIENCE - College President Francis Hamblin speaks to an "overflow crowd" at yesterday's 1:00 open meeting held in Ulmer Planetarium. [Photo by JOHN YUREK.l New B.S. maior slated for review Thursday By PHILIP BURLINGAME Assist. News Editor The Faculty Curriculum Committee is scheduled to decide on Thursday the fate of a revolutionary Bachelor of Science degree featuring a major in General Studies. Last year a General Studies Committee, comprised of faculty and student representatives from each of the three academic schools, was appointed by Dr. Robinson to develop an outline for the General Studies program. The committee's final proposal will be reviewed by the Faculty Curriculum Committee on Thursday. The General Studies program is designed to allow students to "invent'' their own program of study along with an advisor of the students choice and a General Studies Committee. This will allow a student the opportunity to obtain a B.S. degree without following traditional course outlines presently offered for B.S. majors. Dean of Arts and Sciences Hugh Williamson, as a member of the General Studies Committee, stressed that the proposed B.S. degree is not (.oiincctcd with a liberal arts degree. "The program will be presented by an inter-school committee - it is not a proposal cont. on page 4 Work Study students to get pay increase this January The Financial Aids office reports that effective January 1, 1976 work study students will receive a nine cent per hour increase in pay. "We're required to pay 85% of the Federal Minimum Wage," said Financial Aid Director Brian Van Deun, "so in January the hourly rate will be $1.79', which is 85% of $2.10 - the present minimum wage." Van Deun further remarked that the Department of Labor is considering an additional wage rate increase of ,11 cents per hour effective in March of 1975. This increase would entitle work-study students to $2.10 per hour, thcrate of pay currently established as the Federal Minimum Wage.

'Recognizing that the future shape of American higher education can and will be more flexible, open, and egalitarian, the Bachelor of Science with a Major in General Studies is designed to provide flexibility for students to fashion their own program with fewer structural requirements." The above statement was not exerpted from a private college catalog or "ed Psych" book. Approved by the Pa. Dept. of Education as a concept for •?.ll State colleges, the philosophy will be discussed at LHS tomorrow by the Faculty Curriculum Comnsittee. If passed, a proposal for a B.S. program majoring in General Studies could proceed through channels to become a real alternative for students who both can and will assume more responsibility in fulfilling course and degree requirements. However, if the proposal is vetoed at this level, all hopes for opening up new pathways of educational pursuit may be halted. As the program's philosophy states, "Our institution stands at the threshhold of change and challenge, and to ignore the need to redefine and provide an alternative to the traditional degree programs is to ignore a larger community of interests who cannot adapt to the traditional program structures." Any fear that such a program would sap the strength of numbers in liberal arts and education is unfounded. Only certain kinds of students could successfully pursue the regimen of self-discipline, self-direction, and alternative styles of learning involved in the pursuit of a diverse curriculum. By roadblocking this proposal, the Faculty Curriculum Committee would only serve to stifle the special means required by certain students with which to obtain their own style of education - the unique combination of courses which will meet needs not satisfied within the structure of existing programs. We urge the committee to carefully consider the proposal in light of the tremendous opportunity and flexibility it offers the person willing to be a true student.

The Eagles, ranked ninth in the East as of last week, are 10-1-1 on the year. The team will try to kill two birds with one stone in today's contest: hoping to break the all-time "most victories in a season mark" which they have currently tied with ten wins, and perhaps more important, the task offightingfor an ECAC or NCAA Div II bid.
