t h e s e facts show that the other various state colleges have
committee
quite a bit more money to allocate to their student organization while LHS which has stayed relatively the same s i z e
over the past few years and still has basically the same
amount of money to allocate its organizations that it had ten
years ago.
With the rise in prices of athletic equipment, s p e a k e r s ,
entertainment groups and the like, the LHS student government simply cannot operate,jOn the budget it has the past
few y e a r s .
New organizations have geen added to the SCC and they
will want their share of money a l s o , while the older organizations will still want a higher allocation than they received
the year before, and mostly with logical justification.
Studenls want better entertainment groups for Homecoming
and Spring Weekend and they want better speakers to
appear on campus, b u t top-notch groups and speakers will
not come to LHS at I960 prices.
So before the student body starts bitching and complaining
they should stop and think a minute. Do they want top-notch
entartainment or do they want to continue with the average
or mediocre entertainment they have had the past few years?
It's like the old adage s a y s , " Y o u d o n ' t get something for
nothing, you get what you pay for."
If the LHS students want top-notch entertainment they
are going to have to pay for it, indicating that a r a i s e in
the activity fee is almost inevitable.

HOW DOES

FEEL TO B

You're middle class if:
1. You think all girls look best in either pale pink
or blue.
2. You think good grades are a sign of intelligence.
3. You think going to church every Sunday for
twenty-five years indicates a deep religous
commitment.
4. You think college students, Negroes, intellectuals, Jews, newspaper reporters, Dustin Hoffman, all rock groups, Rudi Gernreich, Verushka,
Chinese food, classical music and smog are all
Communist-inspired.
5. Lawrence Welk and Jackie Gleason and the Silver Strings are your idea of romantic music.
6. You believe skinny girls are not great clotheshorses, that they are merely in the running for
Miss Concentration Camp 1970.
7. You believe that hard work is the key to success.
8. You consider the 'Mothers-in-Law' hilarious becavise it's so true-to-life.
9. You think 'Bonanza' and 'Lassie' are real tearjerkers.
10. You can't see why girls still don't wear bobby
socks because they're so practical.
11. When you see photographs of the world's top
models, you thing Suzy Parker is the prettiest
one there and the rest look like queer boys.
12. You think that when women have babies, they
automatically 'love' them.
13. You believe George Wallace is the only man
running for president who makes any sense.
(This is bonus statement, since no man running
for president makes any sense.)
14. You read True Confession ("I was Raped by a
Priest during Communion—And No One Saw!")
and Ladies Home Companion ("Why Your Sex
Life Fades After Forty"; "Twenty New Ways
with Corned Beef Hash"; "Jackie Kennedy's
Secret Life"; "How to Protect your Children

To the editor:
It has come to my attention
that Miss Huttenstine has invested herself with the power of
teaching
her
classes
with
complete
disregard
of
all
normal procedures.
She has
recently informed all students
taking
her journalism course
that they must fulfill 20 hours
of work on the school newspaper.
She threatens students
with
failure if they do not
fulfill this requirement.
The
reason for the requirement is not
that Miss Huttenstine wants to
enlighten her students wilh on
the job training but because the
paper is operating on the bare
minimum amount of labor and is
desperate for h e l p .
All
you
b e a s t s of burden unite and
throu off your c h a i n s .
Miss
Huttenstine, you should realize
that this is a free country and
no one, not even you will
stand in the way of freedom.

("I Held
Off Fourteen Hundred Blood-crazed Mau Maus
and Six Rabid Tigers While Being Tortured by
the Superwomen of the Yashihago Race with
Hot

You think Howard Johnson's is the best in the
country since it all tastes alike and is not ruined
by the addition of salt, pepper, paprika and other
flavoring agents that make good food taste
'sissy' (and are Communist-inspired).
You eat mostly at home, and with great variety
in the menu: meat and potatoes, potatoes and
meat, meat and potatoes. If you are served anything else, you ask, "What's T H I S slop?" and
go into a twenty minute dissertation on why
you can't: eat fruit with seeds in it, meat that
isn't broiled for at least four hours, chocolate
in any form, cheese other than Velveeta, beer
other than Budweiser.
It always warms your heart to know that the kid
down the street is fighting in Vietnam; at least,
you sigh in relief, there are a few young people
who care what happens to this great land of ours.
I t eludes you why the youngest girl in your
family threatens to leave home if she has to wear
one more dress her sisters have outgrown. After
all, you point out, the seams are still good and
solid, and it's only worn out just a little in the
seat, and the hem hits you mid-calf so it'll still
be all right if you grow, and it's only a bit faded
and your sisters before you get just four short
years out of it. If she still balks, you conclude
that kids today are plain ungrateful and that
your daughter will no doubt turn into one of
them hippies.

for either end is still a kick in

Lock Haven State is always
about twenty years behind the
times in everything-pantv raids,

that the former SCC was at least

is not only a slap in the face to
the well-informed students on this
campus but another twenty-year
regression.
With the advent of a new college
president it is especially important that the present SCC executive
board and directors e s t a b l i s h the
government as a strong and influential organization.
To tolerate

They must, however, be
signed.
No names w i l l be
withheld from publication un

a
justifiable
reason.
Also, letters must not be libel-|
ous to any individual or group.
A l l letters must be written in'
good taste; on this matter, the
editorial board w i l l make the
final decision.
Length of letters is suggested to be no more'
than one typewritten page.
Eagle Eye d i s c l a i m s any
and all responsibility for letters, both in content and
choice of topic.

To the editor:
I am writing in response to
the article and letter which
appeared in this weeks Eagle
Eye concerning our past Executive Board.
I am well aware
that my feelings and ideas will
be l a b l e d b i a s , due to mv
relationship with the past student government president, but
my interest is broader -- I
write tnese remards a s a con-'
cerned student.
In Wednesday an article was
published stating the plans of
the new executive board. T h i s ,

I ;'elt was a good idea because
i' show^-d that the board was
anxious and willing to serve
the best interests of the students.
Tho article also stated
1 hat the new officer- hoped to
restore dignity but I remember
that the dynasties of Europe
were • iJigmfied" idiots. I do
not mean to say or imply that
any
pr.rsent
member of the
board is :>{ such a low caliber
but al thi- .ame time I hope that
they do nol produce a fine breed
of
feeble
minded Hapsburges.
F'or if
this happens 'Dignity"
was purchased at a sad nrice.
It was also ^'-Hed ,„ this
article that Earth Day .April 22
would become a reality under the
new administration. I was present
at
the last meeting and I
heard Mike Martin beg for someone
to take over chairmenship of this
event.
I saw no volunteers
So in my opinion the s u c c e s s of
earth day should be attributed to
the people who have been spending
twenty
hours a s e e k on its
preparatiop, and not those who
sit idly by and reap its benifits.
Another
statement
'.vhich was
made in the same article was
the
old administration
spent
more
than
their budget alloted
It should be pointed out to the
students of this college that the
SCC is not in debt since these
additional funds were obtained
from a r e s e r v e fund which was
available if the need prevailed
I should also be noted that it
was with these funds that the
students
were
able to
hear
Cannibal 1 Aderly, to bring the
Steam here for Spring Weekend,
to support the activities of Earth
day, and to bring prospective
presidential candidates hear to
our campus to be interview by
both students and faculty. ( to
which 1 might add the dignified
students show no interest)
if,
however
careful
investigation
does whow that the buget was
not strictly adhered to, it would
be the fault of the elected
administration
of
last
year
who organized the buget and
resigned in early fall.
Finally a letter was printed
stating that Tim Eck was a
chicken b e c a u s e he resigned his
past position with no one to fill
the vacancy. I find this quite
suprising for the SCC board of
direction were very quick to reelect two s o called c h i c k e n s .

To the editor:
' T o restore respect a n d dignity
to the student government both in
the eyes of the students
and
administration.' T h i s quote, made
by newly-elected and wet-behind,
the-ears
student
government
president Jack Infielc* is particularly appalling and m'sinformed
With such a questionable goal in
mind it would appear that the new
government is doomed to failure
before it even b e g i n s . Y e s , it is
obvious that Mr. Infield and his
cohorts plan to again remake the
student government into the
'Howdy-Doody
puppet
program'
that it always was before.
But to imply that the former
government lacked dignity is a
heinous as well a s unfair a c c u s ation. That government did have
dignity and spirit and a lot of
guts b e s i d e s .
They acted in
what they considered the best
interests of the s t u d e n t s and they
acted forthrightly and with conviction-even when it meant opposing
an administration which had never
really been opposed before.
T h i s is not to say that a student
government should go against the
administration merely for the sake
ef doing so, but neither should the
government agree with the administration merely for the sake of
doing s o . In other words, a patsy

This time it can be assured that
they will n o t ' resign however,
since
they are bound (body,
mind, and spirit) by a Ibyalty
oath to uphold their office.
L a s t l y , I would like to say that
1 am aware of both good and bad
points
concerning
last
years
board but I am very suspicious
of any executive board which
finds it necessary to tear down
the past administration to enable
themselves to look better. 1 feel
that if a body of individuals can
not gain respect bv their own
actions, they will
not be a
successful group of representat i v e s . P e t t i n e s s and rivalry d o

not build a strong b a s e . I would
suggest that people forget their
egotistical
games,
recognize
progress,
and
keep
moving
forward.
