EDITORIAL
Student teachers in the fal will be participating in an
experimental system in which thi only rating a student teacher
will receive is " c r e d i t " or " n o credit". As explained by Dr.
Irene Russell, a student must reach a " l e v e l of c o n s i s t e n c y "
in order to receive credit for his student leaching. Unlike the
Pass-Fail Option in which the student is hound by the specific
18-week limit of a semester to earn a P for the course, a student will teach until the stated level of consistency is reached
which will be an individual matter. If, for instance, the student's teaching demonstrates knowledge in his subject and the
aljility to teach it effectively in four w e e k s , he will be free to
complete the semester doing an independant study in a field
related to his curriculum and interests. If, on the other hand,
a teacher needs additional time in which to prove teaching
ability, that time is extended to the student.
This system will eliminate the need for grades as they now
exist. A student will be judged by the co-operative teachers
and the college supervisor strictly on his teaching
competency,
not on an arbitrary grading scale as has been previously practiced.
Argument from studeni voices came at Monday night's
faculty meeting in the form of resentment of not being consulted
in this matter. The action will involve students and is of concern of students. Is it unreasonable to collect student opinion
on a matter which will be practiced by students? Admittedly,
any matter of this sort must ultimately be passed by the faculty
and administration, but, previous to final action, consultation
with students should and must be sought.
The point raised was the fact that grading of sludent
teachers has been consistently high and the students depend
upon this grade to raise their cumulative average. It should
be remembered, however, that by the time a person reaches
their student teaching semester, a great number of credits has
already been amassed and one high grade averaged in with so
many is going to have very little effect on an overall cum.
Under the present system of calculating cumulative averages,
it takes quite a few high grades to alter an overall average
drastically. One grade cannot change the average of three
years of work to any great extent.

Another point considered was job application. Would an
employer hesitate in hiring a student who has merely received
a " c r e d i t " grade from one college when he has a studeni from
another college who has received an actual A or B from which
to choose';' According to Dr. Herbert Larson, Director of
Placement, information given to employers by the placement
office "does not include, ever, any academic records in a
transcript record with grades on i t . " When an employer requests
data on a student applying for a position, they receive recommendation from the two co-operative teachers and the col
lege
supervisor in a confidentia reference form. Specific grades
can be obtained only if the student personally wishes to send
his transcript to the employer. The employer, in this case, must
pay a fee of $1.00 for each transcript received. According to
Larson, the only information which can legally be given to an
employer by the placement office is personal recommendations
from the co-operative teachers and college supervisors.
All these points can validly work for the s t u d e n t s ' good
if taken in proper perspective. The point at hand is the lack
of communication between students and faculty members on
this point. It should be agreed that what is important when
grading a student who is planning to teach is his compentancv
to leach, not to obtain a grade. The issue that is being d i s puted is the students' right to an opinion in a matter that concerns students. It might be appropriate to add that while the
students present at the faculty meeting were treated quite
rudely by some of the faculty members, the students were
actually being treated as equals! Other faculty members quite
often receive the same bad treatment (if that is any comfort).
Regardless of who is being considered, rudeness is inappropriate and anyone has a right to be upset with such a situation .

About Tickets
Questions have been raised
concerning the procedure of
signing lo receive tickeis to
hear General Maxwell Taylor
speak this evening at 8:15 in
Price Auditorium. According to
Farley Latta, Director of Student
Union
Activities,
this
was
done " j u s t to keep t r a c k " of
the t i c k e t s . Because of the
great anticipated demand for
t i c k e i s , an effort was made by
the Assembly Committee lo s e e
that each student and faculty
» member has a chance lo receive
a ticket.
With a seating capacity of
approximately 750, Price. Auditorium can accomnodale only
about 1/3 of the total campus
population and this is only if
a restriction of one ticket per
person be placed upon di.stribution. It has been noted
that tliei;' remains approximately
290 tickets still available which
seems to indicate somewhat of
a lack of inlerest. Such an
altitude does not do justice lo
a man of General Taylor's
authority and importance. T i c kets for the lecture will still
be available in the Studeni
Union today.
Anyone having questions
for General Taylor is asked lo
write them on the note cards to
be distributed by the ushers at
the door or on slips of notebook
paper. The questions should be
given lo an usher who will relay
them to General Taylor. This
is being done because Taylor
is slightly hard of hearing and
would be unable lo hear questions
from the floor.

the slogans on the banners do express
something (if studied and thought
about carefully) that can be re-expressed as perhaps the only (however
radical) viable alternative to the continued re-enforcement of international
anarchy (which is the consequence of
all warfare) and perhaps eventual
holocaust on a scale we dare not contemplate.
After much agony of soul, I have
found myself in strong opposition to
the "Vietnamizalion Program." I do
not believe in it for at least two reasons: (1) I have no more faith in the
political wholesomeness of the South
Vietnamese government than I have of
the North Vietnamese government;
(2) from all I have learned from veterans and observers and commentators
and congressmen, I am not at all convinced either that the South Vietnamese people OR their American-trained
troops really have serious confidence
in their government (which comprises
their military leaders and American
advisors.)
I beseech you, Senator Scott, to
consider very seriously and independently the plea being set before you:
that you work in every way possible
to you for the immediate disengagement
of the United States from all forms of
involvement in and support of the
futile,
unjustifiable, and
(surely)
unconstitutional war in Indochina.
The catch-phrases 'Masting p e a c e , "

many of u s . How can we have an
" h o n o r a b l e " settlement to a dishonorable action. And the sentiment is
rapidly spreading across the country
that (much to our dismay) we have
dishonored ourselves and continue to
do s o in Indochina.
If you have read my letter this
far, you are a patient man, and I thank
you. I have been steadily moved from
a somewhat conservative stand to a
so-called moderate stand to what is
now a more " r a d i c a l " stand (according to the terminology of political
branders, such as the Vice President.)
I do not however, look on myself other
than as an independent American.

To The Editor:
It appears a s though there is
some interest among a few students at Lock Haven to get something done. As most students
should now be aware that on May
5th there is lo be a s e r i e s of
speakers on poverty, war, racism,
and repression. In addition to this
there are students who are interested in ecology; so much s o
that they are willing to put forth
time and effort to do something
about i s . In conjunction with Mrs.
Renzelman; the students are going
to set up a display at the A&P on
Bellefonte Avenue May 7th and
8th, in which the ill effects of
throw away b o t t l e s , phosphates
and certain kinds of packageing.
The idea is to inform shoppers
that bottles and phosphates pollute the environment and that there
are things one is able to do to
lessen the effects of such prod u c t s . For example, instead of
buying throw away bottles, one
should buy returnable bottles, and
instead of buying soaps witli a
high phosphate content, one should
buy soaps with a low phosphate
content. Apparently, there is a
small, slow trend away from
apathy at Lock Haven but the
continuance of it is up to those
that will be here next year for
many of the students now involved in the events to be presented may not be here next year.
