Letter to the editor
Dear Editor;
For an instant imagine the
following:
Date: August 29, 1975
Time: 1:10 p.m.
Location: Ulmer Hall, Rm 301
As this scene begins eight of
the nine students in World
Regional Geography, GY340
. have just entered with their
new, but written in, $12.95
texts and $3.95 workbooks.
Mr. Enger, course professor is
about to address the class for
the second time.
Mr. Enger: Administration
has informed us as of noon
today that GY340 will no
longer exist as a course this
semester.
(Enter Geo-science Department Chairperson, Mr. Green)
Mr. Green: As Mr. Enger
has informed you, we have
received a memo through
proper administrative channelsfi-omPresident Hamblin,
Vice Pres. Robinson and Dean
Williamson cancelling this
class. However they have been
kind enough to allow you to
take alternative courses in this
department while waiving usual $5 drop/add fee.
Let me give you the whole
story. At 3:30 p.m. on August
28 Mr. Green along with other
various department chairmen
attended a "budget reducing"
session where they were handed a memo asking them to
suggest possible ways of cutting costs, by submitting a
memo back to the administration by 8:30 a.m. August 29.
Some methods of cutting costs
suggested by the administration included: (1) eliminating
courses with small enrollments, (2' combining different
sections and or labs in the
same course, and (3) assigning
each professor no less than 14
hrs. of class (Present contracts
only allow for 12.)
After a meeting with the
professors in the Geo-science
department early in the evening of August 28, Mr. Green
proceeded to construct a
memo for the administration
detailing their possible plans
of action. This was submitted
to the administration by 8:30
a.m. August 29.
By noon August 29 Mr.

Green was informed by a
memo from the administration
that it had been decided to
cancel World Regional Geography.
Unfortunately the above
story is real. The problem I
wish to point out to those in
administrative positions is not
that this course was dropped,
but that we the students were
not informed of this decision
until we had actually started
the course, and we had
purchased proper materials
with expectations of finishing
the course. While I understand
that some budget cuts must be
made, I believe that the
administration should have
had at least enough information to have informed us
before the course began that
the possibility existed that the
course may be dropped. Certainly, I feel that if the
administration finds it necessary to eliminate a course, the
first time that the class meets
is when they should be informed of the situation.
Finally, if courses must be
cut, why is such a well-rounded general education course
choosen for the hatchet? For
an administration which seeks
to encourage international education, I must wonder what
reason causes them to take a
step backward and eliminate a
course of world study.

By Bill McComas
During the past week the new students have been happily
finding out what fraternity life is all about, but the old problems that
have been plaguing fi-aterrities still continue. Last spring the
fraternities were informed by the new building codes department
that they were all in violation of several rules governing apartment
type dwellings. These violations according to the city, included
overcrowding, fire escapes, extension cord and electrical
deficiencies.
When the college closed in May many people were concerned
about the fate of the fraternity houses, but action taken by Lock
Haven City Council has assured the groups in violation a chance to
make corrections while still occupying the houses.
In a letter to City Council during the summer. Marc Bridgens,
president of the Interfraternity Council, requested a time extension
to January 1976 for fraternity compliance with the various municipal
codes. Although the Council did not grant the precise time
extension requested, they did agree that each fraternity would be
evaluated individually on the basis satisfactory work progress. If it
is found that the work is proceeding will, the fraternities will be free
to operate and to continue such improvements.
At last report the fraternities have begun the work, and
improvements are going well so it appears that what otherwise
could have been a major problem has been solved to the satidfaction
of both the city and the fraternities.

Slippery Bock

Name makes their fame
By PHILIP BURLIfTCAME and friendly. Apparently the
Longhorn fans were charmed
Assistant News Editor

An NCAA pre-season
football special entitled "The
Great Land Rush" mad some
unusual references to nearby
Slippery Rock State College
during its ABC telecast last
Friday night. The program
reviewed the prospective top
ten college football teams in
the nation along with game
film highlights from last year.
In an effort to show the
lighter side of college football,
host Keith Jackson referred to
a humorous series of events
that he had followed as a
sportswriter in years gone by.
The ^tory began when an old
time sportcaster started sending the scores of Slippery
Rock's football games over the
national news service wires
simply because he was struck
by the college's catchy name.
People aroung the nation
became very interested in
Slippery Rock's team, believing it to be a contrived hoax.
Newswriters were known to
jokingly applaud when Slippery Rock victories were
reported.
For some time interest in
the "hoax" was widespread,
but over the years the rumor
was dispelled and most people
forgot about the Rocket football team. For some obscure
reason, however, the people at
the University of Texas did not
forget.
In an interview with Head
Coach Royal, Keith Jackson
reported that, over the years,
relations between Slippery
Rock and the University of
Texas have become very warm
