Lock Haven State College Vol XX, Na 8 Tuesdav Oct U, 1977 m00a» LHS Vice-President Suffers Fatal Heart Attack by BETSY M O N T A N Y A News Editor The American flag on campus will remain at half-mast until Thursday, to commemorate the passing away of Dr. Russell A. Milliken, Lock Haven State's Vice-President of Administration. Dr. Milliken was stricken with a heart attack at approximately 11:30 a.m. Sunday morning while attending services at the Woolrich Community Church and was consequently taken to Lock Haven Hospital. On route several Emergency Medical Technicians used cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, but to no avail. Milliken was pronounced dead on arrival at the age of 50 years. Although Dr. Milliken had had a past history of heart trouble which included high blood pressure and two previous heart attacks, signs of ailing health were not apparent to those who worked with him recently. Dr. Milliken leaves behind a wife, Dorothy and a son, Michael aged 14. A request has been made that no flowers be sent, instead; donations to the recently established Russell A. Milliken Memorial Fund as part of The Friends of Lock Haven State College will be accepted. The viewing was Monday night at The Yost Funeral Home in Lock Haven. Funeral Services will be held in Jackson, Ohio on Thursday. President Hamblin noted that "a replacement will be considered in several weeks." In the interim, Hamblin, a long time friend and colleague of Melliken's, has asked several administrators to assume some of Dr. Milliken's responsibilities, until a suitable replacement can be decided upon. Hamblin suggested this may not occur until after Homecoming Weekend. Dr. Russell Milliken was appointed to the position of Vice-President of Administration for Lock Haven State College on September the first, 1971, replacing Edward H. Young. As Vice-President for the administration, Dr. Mil- liken was responsible for the Director of Alumni Affairs, the Business Manager, the Plant Maintenance Engineer, the Director of Development, the Director of Public Relations and the Dean of Student Affairs. all concerned with the education and well-being of children.

Very much involved in establishing international exchange programs for both teachers and student, Milliken lived in Nigeria from 1964 to 1966 as director of a U. S. team of teachers responsible for creating a new teacher's college in Kano, Nigeria. Dr. Milliken was a frequent visitor of Viet Nam in the 1960's. He had a special role in the design of the University of Hue. In the summer of 1974, Milliken was a member of a delegation which visited Malaysia and Thailand to establish student and faculty exchange program, recently in effect. Bucknell President Speaks of the Role of Small Colleges by G W E N A SWEENEY LHS Branch of ACB Invites Membership of All Students The Lock Haven State College Student Branch of The Association for Childhood Education, International (ACEI) is now inviting all education students and other interested persons to join the professional education organization which gives thoughtful consideration to major issues and concerns affecting children. ACEI gives strong encouragement and concrete support to parents, teachers, educators, and others who work with children in home, school, and community. ACEI is an international professional organization with membership located throughout the world. Its mission is 1) working for the education and wellbeing of children from infancy through adolescence, 2) promoting desirable conditions, programs and practices for children and 3) raising the standards of teacher preparation and encouraging continued professional growth of those persons concerned with the care and development of children. Membership is open to Milliken graauated from Ohio University in 1950 with a B.S. in Education, and went on to receive a masters degree in Educ. ational Administration in 1954. In 1958, Milliken received a doctorate in Elementary Education. Milliken came to LHS from Ohio University where he held the position of Associate Dean of the College of Education. Prior to that, he had been an elementary teacher in Junction City, Ohio and had also held the position of both a teacher and principal in Logan City, Ohio. He then went on to become the Assistant Superintendant of Schools in Washington County from 1954 to 1957 DR. RUSSELL A. MILLIKEN The first ofthe Gerald R. Robinson Distinquished Lecture was launched Thursday, October 6, by Dr. Dennis O'Brien, President of Bucknell University. The lecture, titled, "The Role ofthe Small College In Modern Society," was approached by an analogy of the children's literature character, Winnie the Pooh and his search for a tiny beetle named, "Small," and O'Brien's search for an understanding of the work in relation to the size of colleges. Dr. O'Brien established that the role of the small college cannot be determined by simple size, but by the necessity of realizing that there are other characteristics that help maintain the intimacy, caring and responsiveness ********************************************** Schohstic Probation Starxiards are Placed in Effect for Fall by NANCY STOY Starting with this fall semester, new scholastic standards for probation and retention will be" in effect for all LHS students. A student will be required to attain a designated cumulative average for each semester in order to avoid probation. These new minimum averages are as follows: 1st semester cumulative average 1.5 (1-18 s.h. attempted). 2nd semester cumulative average 1.7 (19-37 s.h. attempted). 3rd semester cumulative average 1.9 (38-56 s.h. attempted). 4th and subsequent semesters cumulative average 2.0 (57 or more s.h. attempted). If a student falls below these designated standards, he will be placed on probation for the following semester and will be required to meet the designated cumulative average for that semester. If he fails to do so, he will be suspended from school for two semesters. He may appeal for readmission to the appropriate School Evaluation Committee <" that the small college proudly boasts. He also said that in our search of "Small" we may encounter, as Pooh did, the monster, Hephalon. This monster in relation to the small univrsity are such vices as parochialism, emotional-narrowism, and stifling-fraternalism. In comparison to large universities Dr. O'Brien said that if the sole goal of education is geared to, "super specialized limited areas," then the small college is out of the running. If however education seeks to give, "range and s c o p e , " then the student of a small college has the advantage. In the student's college career he is able to view a single faculty member working in different fields. O'Brien said, "this is a much more effective way of making the linkage between knowledge and life." extenuating circumstances, such as an extended illness, a death in the immediate family etc. A student can reapply after the probationary period if the current enrollment in his major permits. A second suspension would forfeit readmission. In the case of a student failing all his courses in one semester, immediate dismissal can occur. This new system was originated last year by the Committee on Academic Regulations and Admissions. The committee was comprised of three faculty members, two students, and one management representative. The purpose of the new standards is to impose a reasonable academic standard and to prevent disruptions by loafers. luesdav. Oel.

The topic of discussion will be the possibility of a raise in the Student Activity Fee. This tentative proposal set forth by the SCC will be decided after input by students. A minimum of five dollars and a maximum of ten dollars was mentioned by SCC President Jayne Bolduc. I think I can safely say that most students have anticipated this move by the SCC and SAC commit- tee. Having had time to think about this subject, any student who can suggest any viable alternatives to either a raise in activity fees or a cut back in the activities [17 varsity sports], is encouraged to attend this meeting and lend his solution to this problem. i*********il NEWS BRIEFS by A M Y H A M B L I N slowing of economic expan10 to 15 close aides to the sion next year, as compared to the present 1977 rate, late Howard Hughs and with growth possibly ceasdoctors who attended him ing followed by a dip in the are the subjects of an nations economy by late investigation into the pos1978 or 1979. sible sources of drugs Attorney General Griffin which were obtained illegBell stated that the Justice ally by the late reclusive Department is considering billionaire. extending the March 22, Pope Paul VI has cannon1979 deadline set by ized Sharbel Makhlouf, congress for ratification of making him the first the Equal Rights AmendLebanese to be recognized ment.

(°''™'' ""=" 1 MUSIC ^ COMMENTARY J I M RUNKLE by NANCY LEVERING Frances Cole is wealtliy, and 1 am not referring to her financial state of affairs. Although she may well be rich in those too. She is such a total performer that it is nearly impossible to review her music and her personality apart form one another. Her wealth lies in the warmth she radiates both in her oral introductions to the pieces she plays, and the warmth and vitality she displays through her performance. I am not a music/fine arts major, but I could read the awe and fascination in the focus of the audience thoughout the two-hour performance. I could also tell that she was appreaciated at Lock Haven State — Sloan Auditorium — was so filled that there were even people standing alimg the back wall to listen to Ms. Cole. The music was lively, and it was well worth my evening just to watch the quickness of her hands as thev fluttered over the walnut keyboards. Or simply to see tln' beauiv of her handmade harpsichord, with its double keyboard and handsome wood inlays. It made me want to laki up harpsichord next semester! Anyone for class Harpsithoid I and II? The peribrmance was full of vigor and variet>. Mr. Cole played "Greensleeves" and nursery tunes.

Ihe appl.iuse after each piece was substantial. Even Gordon 1 mh'tooi didn't get such an audience reaction at LHS! Ms. Cole did more than demonstrate her exiensise lal cut and rich imagination with her music — she alsiv explain ed it.

Maria MacNamara, Tina Brooks ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR Carla Eaton ADVISOR Dr. Saundra Hybals GENERAL MANAGER Marthn Hastings m The Staff of the EAGLE EYE extend their condolences to the family and friends of Dr. Russell A. Milliken It has come to my attention, through an unpleasant incident, that the students of Lock Haven are not trusted, off and on campus. Last Friday afternoon, I friutlessly attempted to cash a $25 money order as I was not able to cash a check form my parents anywhere in town. I didn't have time to go into town, so I went to the bookstore. The woman at the register took the money order, which had only my name on it, and told me it wasn't permissable because no one else signed it, so it was like an unsigned check. Okay I, so I left. She then proceeded to tell a girl, who is my friend unbeknownst to her, that I forged a money order. I was a victim of loud talking. How ignorant can you be to accuse someone of forging a money order. They are more valuable than checks. The one I handed the woman had the Post Office seal. I guess I shouldn't feel bad, because this bookstore employee doesn't even trust the United States Postai Service. Unfortunately, I had to travel 200 miles to Philadelphia jsut to get money. I am not the only victim. A janitor in McEntire also cannot get checks cashed, and another friend of mine was also accused of forgery. I am utterly enraged. Tuition increases will not force me out of college, but distrust will. How much longer will this be tolerated? How can we, the students of LHS (regain respect & trust) correct this problem? A Concerned Student Record Review by FRANK LEISTER A new album just came out by a band named after a I vibrator. Steely Dan is the group and the album is called Aja. Some people have trouble relating to the music of; Steely Dan. Maybe it's because of their unusual style (ai misture of disco, jazz, rock, and pop) or, maybe because their lyrics have nothing to do with familiar themes like love. A typical Steely Dan song would have cynical lines and be entitled "Bad Sneakers" or "Black Cow." Personally, I like to do my calculus with Steely Dan in the headphones. It is true that the music is hard to relate to, but it is great and anyone with a decent stereo will love the superb recording. "The album Aja ia on sale in manv stores this week, or, if you like, borrow it from a friend. That's what all my friends do! Letter to the Editor«.Letter to the Editor^Letter to the Editor To the Editor; I am presently sitting in my room watching the Yankees-Royals playoff game without a cold beer. Baseball and beer are as American as Hustler magazine. The reason I don't have a cold beer or anything else chilled is because I don't have a refrigerator in my room. I had my own refrigerator but it was regarded as illegal for a dorm room. This whole absurd situation started when I was informed by my counselor and hall manager that, according to new residence hall rules, my four cubic foot refrigerator was supposedly using too much electricity. 1 then took my case to, at that time. Dean Jones. He told me that the reason the new rule was again electric consumption and informed me to get the specs of my refrigerator and a two cubic foot rented one and report it to maintenance. Dean Jones stated to me that if the difference in power was minimal, 1 could keep my refrigerator. The difference in power was 32 watts, hardly an excuse for removal of a refrigerator and I thought that this would settle the matter once and for all. The next day I was informed that Dean Jones wanted to see me again. I knew what fate awaited me. He told me that although the refrigerator was approved by Maintenance Director, Mr. Donald Stevenson and that the difference in power was minimal, someone "upstairs" said that my refrigerator would not be allowed in the dorm. I was given 24 hours to remove it from my room. A similar situation exists at Penn State. You cannot have a refrigerator of your own on campus. You must rent one if you want one. The situation seems obvious to anyone with two eyes. Someone at State College is probably receiving a kickback for his influential services. Is the same thing developing here? What is next? The rental of stereos? Do privately owned refrigerators account for that much difference of power consumption; or do they hinder questionable money going to the rental company? 1 even offered to make up the difference but I was told to get a two-cubic-foot of my own or rent one from the company. It's bad enough you have to rent a refrigerator from a company with outrageous rental fees; but at least the company should be from Pa. rather than having the money going out of state to New Jersey. If I receive a suitable reply to this letter I'll at least know why this situation exists. If I don't, it will prove once again that somebody "upstairs" has their price. Yours truly, Leonard Richard Paranac 207 North ATTENTION STUDENTS, FACULTY and STAFF: n u mections wlU be given at the Glennon Informary Wednesday October 19, 1977 from 12 noon untU 1 pm.

Competency Based Teacher Education is a term becoming very familiar to educators in Pennsylvania and throughout the USA. Friday, the PUB Conference room was buzzing with local school administrators, teachers and teacher's aides, education specialist, day care administrators, college students, and faculty working together to define procedures which could result in the granting of college credit for competencies developed on the job in classrooms and child development centers. What are competencies? Competencies are those behaviors exhibited by people that demonstrate effective performance. In educaiton that is translated to mean behaviors that demonstrate effective performance in teaching. The CBTE Life Experience for Credit Workshop is concerned with how competencies, i.e. effective performnace, in the class- room or center can be equated to program competencies identified by the Eariy Childhood Education Curriculum at Lock Haven State College - so that the credit generated could be applied to the student's college program. This CBTE Workshop is the second workshop held on the Lock Haven State College campus to address this issue. Both efforts have been funded by a state CBTE grant from Harrisburg, written and coordinated by Dr. Bertha Mayes, Professor in the School of Education and director for the Early Childhood Education program on campus.

T^f ' ^ Church & Grove . Downtown ^ a ^ (CW) -- T h e r e ' s evidence that curious student minds have not yet become too bogged down with academic subject matter this school year. For instance, the student newspaper action line columns, a good indicator of what's bugging students, are filled with items such as this one from the Purdue Exponent: "When McDonald's hamburgers claim 'over 60 million sold,' do they count Big Macs as two since they contain two patties?" Now a student who is racking a brain over that question just can't be too burdened down with calculus or Chauccer. Or how about the two University of Texas students who conducted an extensive extracurricular project that determined that M&M candy consists of 12 percent green and light brown, 20 percent orange, 23 percent yellow, and 33 percent dark brown. The students also determined that in taste tests, the green candies won over the others, even when the subjects were blindfolded. Oh, by the way, McDonald's counts its sales by the number of buns used so a Big Mac does count as only one. 30 YEARS SERVICE - Mrs. Leona Heisey, was recently honored for having completed 30 years of service on the library staff at LHS. A dinner in honor of Mrs. Heisey was held by the staff of the Stevenson Library at the Arena Restaurant last week. Having been with the library since September 1,1947, she is now the senior member of the college staff in terms of service. Pictured with Mrs. Heisey, [center] are, at left, Robert S.

Go West Young Students* and Earn Credits by DEBBILUHK If you would like to travel for a month and earn six credits at the same time, you're in luck because such a program will be offered at LHS this summer. Mr. Theodore Enger is taking interested students to the Pacific Coast and back in a course called Natural and Cultural Environments of the United States and Canada. You travel over approximately 7,500 miles of the United States seeing the interesting geographical sites. "roughing it" because you travel in a van or bus and stay at colleges and universities along the way. You can earn 6 credits (with 3 being in a lab field experience) or you can just come along for the enjoyment and not take it as a course. The major work in the course is writing a log of things seen. The trip, which will probably start in June, couldn't actually be called There will be an organizational meeting tonight, October U t h at 8:00 in Ulmer 219. At the meeting all questions will be answered and slides will be shown by students who took the trip in previous years. sified classified classified classified classifiet ADDRESSERS WANTED IMMEDIATELY!
