Lock Haven State College^ Eve W^ Vol. XVI, No. 51 Thurs., *)ec. 6,1913 Day of concern' hears of misplaced priorities by JoAnn Morse and Robin Platts Tuesday December 4 was a "Day of Concern" for Penna.'s State Supported colleges. Lock Haven's day of concern began Monday night, as eleven students left for Shippensburg State to organize and finalize plans for Tuesday's Lobby Action in Harrisburg. State College representatives met with Legislators and experts in the fi elds of higher education and their appropriations. At 9:00 Lock Haven had an appointment with Warren Wringler, Assistant Deputy Secretary of Education and John Marshall, assistant to Wringler and an expert on budgeting for higher education. The purpose of the meeting was to (discuss the current funding problem of the State Colleges and Indiana University. Mr. Wringler and Mr. Marshall both agreed they saw no tuition increase for the colleges in the immediate future, providing there is no increase in faculty and administration salaries. Further discussion was centered on the State Colleges budget and itemization of the money into fixed costs and other expenditures. Lock Haven's representatives divided into two groups with Doug Dows, Shelly Robinson, Gail Simpson, Tom Rowan, JoAnn Morse, and Sharon Hamilton going to a meeting sponsored by the PSEA. Walt Corrno, a lobbyist hired by the PSEA commended students for their concern with their present financial difficulties. He also stated, "The State Colleges have gotten as much out of the General Assembly as you can bleed out of them." Cormo also emphasized the point that it is important for students to continue with their good conduct they have shown in their previous demonstrations. The other group. Rich DeBernardo, Linda Schreiber, Joe Euculano, Mike Pinelli, and Robin Platts, had an appointment with William Kramer, Legal Counsel to the House Majority Leader. Mr . Kramer discussed the appropriations amendment and the budget. He began by explaining Gov. Shapp allowed for 104.7 mil. to the State Colleges, the same amount as given to them in last year ' s budget. When the bill was sent to the House, the Republicans specifically did not agree with the figure, so they added 5 mil., which brought the figure to 109.7 mil. This action was House Bill 850 signed in July, and became Appropriations Act I IA. The Senate then earmarked an additional 3.8 for State Colleges and a 3.6 mil. increase for salary increase, which became Amendment 1058, to Act UA. Mr. Kramer stated that the above allocations along with the 4 million dollar increase in tuition gave the State supported colleges a 16% increase from what the Gov. planned. Joe Euculano asked Kramer, "Do you think State Colleges are getting their fair share of the funds?" Mr. Kramer answered, " I think the schools and government in general must learn to live within its revenues. I don't see why, if schools are guilty of poor planning, I see no reason to go a round and have to bail them out. 1 feel the same about the Welfare Department as well as others. If the colleges cannot live within revenues they should reduce their faculty and programs." Rich DeBernardo asked Mr. Kramer what he thought the original philosophy behind State Colleges was when they started. Mr. Kramer replied, " T o crank out teachers, not to supply a cheaper means of higher education, then there became an overabundance of teachers so they had to change their program." Mr. Kramer is of the opinion that salaries take up too much of the money and something should be done with the Labor Unions. "Priorities are misplaced, schools should live within their means," said Kramer. After the appointments there was a rally held on the Capitol steps, students from the State Colleges listened to speakers from various State Colleges, representatives from APSCUF/PAHE, representatives from CAS, and representatives from the House. Following the rally, one representative and the President of each State College student government was to meet with the Gov. in his office. Doug Dows and Rich DeBernardo were Lock , Haven's representatives. frops party... for Mark Manahan Memorial "If there is one thing Mark always complained about, it was not having props or enough money to buy props for the plays," stated a brother of Sigma Pi Fraternity.

EAGLE EYE PLge 2 Dear Editor You stereotyped all greeks I am very disappointed Dear Editor: i am very disappointed and disgusted with the review in December third Eagle Eye on Lorin Hollander's per^ formance, Thursday, November 29. The author, Robert Singer, did not appear to hnve contacted any of the music department professors in order to back up his statements. The comments were personal, but not stated as such. It appears that the article was backed by the support of the majority of the people on campus where in reality it read like an editorial. The wording gave the reader the impression that Hollander, as well as the performance, was mediocre. "One of America's better 'pianists," is quite a mild statement to make about one of the leading pianists in this country. After talking to four of the six professors in the music department, I feel that the majority of the ones I contacted were overwhelmed by the excellent performance of Lorin Hollander. The one who disagreed stated that he (she) wasn't in the mood for piano, so naturally he (she) wouldn't be very enthusiastic. Dr. Nelson, the department head, noted that in addition Thurs., Dec.6, 1973 Lopk Haven State College to Hollander's use of hic body, hands, and emotions, he also used his mind. There was more music portrayed throughout the concert than could possibly have been put on a piece- of paper. The choir's excellent, but modest pianist explained that Hollander would draw himself into his piano world and concentrate on notes, feelings and music background even in the middle of a conversation. The concentration of Hollander within his work was something to be admired. Mrs. Renzelman also noted that the feeling the performer portrayed through the music was utterly amazing. The last paragraph of December third article strikes me as the most repulsive: "Hollander complimented the performance with two impressive encores....which left the viewer with a much better idea than the main program of just how skilled Hollander is at the keyboard." If anyone couldn't see skill, finesse, emotion, and brilliance of the work prior to the encores, he ought to dig a hole and jump in, which I'll gladly fill in. Sincerely, David R. Kelly To the Editor: In regard to recent letter which appeared in the Eagle Eye concerning greek grounds, you stereotyped all greeks into being some kind of degenerates. This unfair What massaare Dear Editor: I have just read a very confusing letter to the editor, "explaining" what happened at the Zeta Tau Alpha-Kappa Delta Rho Massacre. The letter stated that due to the lack of excitement at LHSC the s t a y has been "exaggerated." I have one question; what the hi II is the Zeta Tau Alpha-Kappa Delta Rho Massacre, what is the story? From this letter one might assume that some fine upstanding fraternity pledges attacked some innocent sorority pledges or visa versa. reference to all greeks on campus shows you as being a very narrow minded person and one that stands to be corrected. Maybe from the outside looking in, we all ^ o e a r to be a bunch of drunks who keep files on girls and tests. But if you look at us a s an organization, you'll see that we don't crawl out of the wood work for the weekend parties but are rather an active part of this college in Academics, Athletics, and Student Government. In closing, I'd like to mention that the true story of what happened last week at one of the Frater nity houses is not really known or if it is there seems to be t wo sides to it. I believe something should be and probably will be done concerning this incident but let's get all the facts first. Respectfully, Tim Howe (TKE) Name Withheld Dear Editor...! don't agree Dear Editor: Thanks Doug! Finally someone has written some intelligible answers. Yes, you guessed it, this is Persistance again. I don't agree with every- thing in Done Dows' Letter to the Editor on Friday 3 0, but who agrees with everything? My main point of disagreement is I don't feel the Student Co-operative Council should intervene in the operation of another organization; and if they try to set the organizations' policy, I wonder about the legality. A.s to the importance placed on my true identity, unlike Mr. Dows and Mr. DeBernardo, I don't feel personality is as important as the issue itself. As a student, if I signed my name the people who a re attached to the toes I've stepped on would be hesitant or refuse to talk to me. than take that chance I remain Persistance. There are still other questions unanswered but I guess nobody wants to answer them until the report of the study commission. Until then, when I'll try once more, I am Respectfully yours, Persistance Students and senators could end complaints To the Editor: I've been hearing alot of complaints lately about the cafeteria and it's food. People complain and then shrug their shoulders and say that it's a shame that nothing can be done. Well, this letter is to let you know that something can be done to improve conditions in the cafeteria. The SCC has something called the Food Services Committee which deals with our food and the cafeteria. This committee was active last year and was able to get alot accomplished (at least we don't have such tasty goodies as City Chicken anymore). However, this year it has not met once. Itiis is not the fault of the, SCC Executive Office or of the cafeteria; both have been trying to get the committee together. Rather, it is the fault of the Senators (of which I am one) and the students themselves. The committee is supposed to have seven members; Senators or students, it doesn't matter. At its peak this semester it had three members, none of whom could meet at the same time during the week. At this point the committee has been disbanded for the remainder of the semester. The way it looks right new it may stay this way next semester also. Tliis isn't right, but without anyone working on the committee nothing can be done. Certainly there must be six other people on this campus, besides myself, who could meet with tlie cafeteria people once a week during the afternoon for half an hour to try and improve our food. There are things that can be done if only some people are willing to help. Dirty forks, mystery meat and\roodles six evenings a week are not a necessary evil of our times. If there are any students who would like to help get this cotih, mittee togei ler for next semester they should contact the SCC a myself. It would be doing everybodies' stomachs a favor.
