Eagle Eye Vol. XXV No. 14 Lock Haven State College Tuesday, May 5, 1981 SCC Budget Sent Back To Finance Committee (RHA) allocation. The vicepresident Mike Walker, and the business manager, Karen Culligan, were present at the meeting, volunteering extra cuts of $1330 to their proposed $14,(XX) allocation. The allocation was finally approved after much deliberation by an 18-7 vote, which left some senators angry. The format followed for adopting the budget was one of open discussion. The budget was reviewed page by page, with the senators voicing objections and asking questions of SCC president Phil Burge, and treasurer, Kelly McBride. Each individual budget, which represents an amount being given to an organization from the SCC, was then voted as to w h e t h e r it s h o u l d or shouldn't be adopted into the financial outline for the upcoming year. President Burge maintained firm control of the meeting, with the help of his gavel, in spite of many small budget debates. The main confusion was caused by senators who insisted on calling for a vote about whether to vote on sending an inPnaldent Hamblin and Vlce-Prasldant Marshall dividual budget back to committee. The first obstacle encountered was the band allocation of $11,300.

The result of the two and a half hour meeting entailed sending the budget back to the Finance Committee where it can be reworked and put on the agenda for discussion at the next Senate meeting. The budget was sent back because amounts allocated to five departments ~ the band, the intramurals program, athletics. Publications, and the PUB administrators' budget " were thought to be either too much or were going toward unnecessary purchases. There was also heated discussion about the Residence Hall Association Hamblin, Marshall Meet Students replaced every year. Senator Kent Hatter even suggested stopping funds "for trivial things that can be used somewhere else." Senator Joe Kirby made the motion to "take the band budget back for further investigation." The motion was passed. The next budget sent back was intramurals. Senator Jonathan Bravard said that the intramural program hadn't used all of its allocation from last year, so a suggestion was made to cut some of its funds for this year. A motion to send it back was proposed and passed. The controversy about the PUB administrators' budget dealt with the amount allocated to purchase new sound equipment. Some senators said they felt the equipment could be repaired, while PUB administrator Michelle Suder said that even more money was necessary to buy equipment. The budget was voted to be sent back for further review. The $100,000 athletics budget, which receives the largest portion of SCC money, was sent back because McBride hadn't received an itemized list from Charles Eberle, LHSC's athletics director. The list would have stated the amounts of money going toward different sports. The senators said they felt they shouldn't pass the budget because they didn't know exactly how the money would t>e spent. The Publications budget will be reviewed further, because of confusion as to whether money will be allotted for a yearbook, and plans to cut the Crucible to make room for the TV news show. The highlight of the twoand-a-half hour Senate meeting, however, was the showdown between senators who supported the proposed RHA budget and those who didn't. RHA was allotted $14,000 for 1981. Some senators felt this was to much, because not all students participate in RHA programming. Not so, according to Culligan, who said "We (RHA) are saving them (students) money," because students can go to RHA events for free, instead of spending money elsewhere. (Cont. on Page 3) Tapes Returned By PAM YOBLONSKI News Editor Eight cassette tapes which were stolen from Stevenson Library last Thursday have been anonymously returned, according t o Dr. P a u l McNeely, a former psychology professor at LHSC. McNeely had borrowed the tapes, which were recordings of tours through the Holy Land, from an area resident who has recently returned from there. He had left them in the library to have copies made. The tapes hadn't been locked up while they were in the library, and have been missing since last Thursday. Eight of McNeely's own tapes were stolen, also. McNeely describes the tapes as being "precious," because they a r e i r r e p l a c e a b l e memories. Two of the tapes had been returned shortly after they were taken. McNeely said tliis could be because they were blank. McNeely also said that he doesn't know why anybody would want the tapes, except for the fact that the person who took them could have thought they were blank. He pointed out that the missing tapes were Memo^ex, known as a better brand, while the two that were returned were the Radio Shack brand. The remaining six cassettes were returned on Monday. They were found by a library employee in the room next to the one they had been stolen from. There wasn't any note of explanation left as to why they had been taken. McNeely's tapes still haven't been returned. McNeely said he thanks the person for returning them and that it shows the person was compassionate. "The fact they got back is the important thing," he added. LHSC Rallies About Atlanta campus of Lock Haven State College. Rachine Mazych opened the program with the singing of "The Greatest." She was accompanied by CarIa Willis on the piano. Hostess for the rally^ Julie Keipers, then introduced Lock Haven professors Dora Vandine, Dr. William SmithHinds, and Virginia Martin who all expressed their feelings about the Atlanta saga. ' Lock Haven student Beth Baker then presented a poem written by herself, entitled "What Life is This." To close out the program, the sisters of Sigma Kappa Society passed out candles to all members of a large crowd. With the moon shining brightly over Bentley dining hall, Cindy Lefko sang "Bless the Beast and the Children," accompanied by Allison Davis. She closed out the program by singing, "All Through the Night" as darkness settled in over the quiet crowd. Miss Keipers commented about the program by saying, "We have received some very good reactions and positive feedback." When questioned why a rally at Lock Haven State College, she replied, "We wanted to make the community aware of the crisis in Atlanta and the fact that h is still going on." At present 26 youths have been reported killed in AtlanU. Rachlna Mazych Tuesday, May 5, 1981, page 2 EDITORIAL Letters, Letters, Letters By JEFF FLEISHMAN Editor-in-Chief This world is caught up in an ideology that forces us to lean on machines for survival. If something happens to the mechanical monster, then all else shuts down until the problem in its wire-webbed insides is treated and repaired. We are evolving at the rate of our mental wonders that chum out production, but many times make production impossible. Case in point: remember the past couple of Tuesdays and Fridays? That's right, there weren't any Eagle Eyes floating around. The reason for the paper shutdown was not because of lack of news, but rather is attributed to a S35,000 finely tuned Compugraphics machine that seldom operates properly. When man began producing machines it was for his own benefit. The machines could do the work of many men and in most cases do it more properly and efficiently. But what happens when these products of the Industrial Revolution fail us and leave us without another path to take. We have become so accustomed to relying on the mechanical realm for productivity that when the sphere blows a fuse we are left with little options. Why? Because in essence ova whole society has come to depend on the cqg and transistor, just ask the Japanese. Hell, sometimes it seems as if their minds are just an intricate product of the Sony Corporation. However, let's get back to the domestic machine scene. If machines aren't bad enough, people have to cross the wires and make things worse. People and machines are just not good ingredients for smooth sailing. For example, the person will promise you the part will be there on Monday. However, the machine programmed the shipping of the part for Wednesday. When you call and ask where the part is, the person blames the machine for the mistake. Imagine, blaming a poor, illiterate machine for the mishap. In conclusion, the next time that an Eagle Eye does not come out, call us and we'll blame it on the machine until we can get it to talk and blame it on us. AR? "We &aO^ FCOAINIM^S OKVDI^ 'Pre-registration-^- " -•• To the Editor There is a policy of this fine, illustrious institution that I feel all of the students should be aware of. This concerns, what else, preregistration for classes. Recently, after suffering a death in my family, I approached Dean. Sinalley of Academic Affairs to explain that I would not be able to attend pre-registration as I would be out of town at a funeral. Assuming that I would be able to have someone pre-register for me at my assigned reporting time, I was shocked to find out that this was not possible. Dean Smalley calmly explained that the only time "sanctions are given whereby a person may register for someone else is when a person is involved in an extra-curricular activity which takes him/her away from the college or which is taking place during his/her assigned reporting time." He further explained that he could not grant permission under personal circumstances "no matter how tragic they may be." I was appalled to find that a baseball game ranks above attending the funeral of a loved one. I cannot believe that this college would have such little respect for anyone who is in this type of situation. Now I can truly see why this college has been stereotyped as "Jock Haven." Sincerely Kathy Shepherd A Concerned Student •Pre-registrationTo the Editor I recently returned to campus for pre-registration after spending this semester in Washington, D.C. as an intern, in Congressman dinger's office. There was one definite problem with pre-registration, however, that I would like to discuss here. I have no complaints about the basic way it is run; it is one of the easiest set-ups around. I was assigned a registration card that stated a time of 4:00, but I never made it to the door and down onto the floor of the Field House until 4:35. I and a great number of my peers that will be seniors in September greatly resented such a delay. If I had been unable to secure any of my classes, I would have been even more resentful. There were people scheduled for times after ours that were admitted before us. Again, this was ot well appreciated. I believe, along with a great many fellow students, that there must be a better way to go about this problem. Perhaps have signs above the doors designating separate times? Perhaps pylons or some sort of dividers that could designate separate lines for separate tiines? The system is basically a good one, but the hassles continuously being encountered regarding registration times are really beginning to frustrate me. I hope in the future one or two small changes could be made to help make pre-registration run as smoothly and hasslefree as possible! Linda Overman - "College Newspaper- To The Eagle Eye There are obvious differences in the ways we approach self, present company, and those beyond earshot. Bertrand Russell put these distinctions into an interesting form years ago on a BBC telecast which became known as "Conjugations," or "Irregular Verbs." One goes: I am firm; YOU are obstinate; HE is a pig-headed fool! Another states: I am a behavioral researcher; YOU are curious about people; HE ia a peeping Tom! I have been growing more concerned at the apparent ease with which we malign and vilify the efforts, personalities and values of fellow students in public forum. Real flesh-and-blood, laugh-and-cry individuals are attacked twice a week in print as if they only existed in print. These are not celebrities or politicians and this is not the New York Times. We live in a dense community(no pun intended) of some 2400 individuals who are seen, touched and talked to by 30-40 percent of that community every day! Distance makes us bold in our accusations, but a small college newspaper can hardly be considered "beyond earshot." There is no refuge of anonymity here. It is a worthy lesson for life in the "real world" that distance, like liquor, loosens the inhibitions-but unlike liquor it doesn't ease the pain. Respectfully, Ted Headlee COMMENTARY By NELVA WRIGHT When I first came to this institution of higher learning, I did not know that I had to be certified in pest control. As some disgusted residents know, I am talking about the three-story nature trail -Smith Hall. I know we are in the mountains but ants in my morning coffee do not make me appreciate small insects and lukewarm Sanka much more. If you walk in the bathroom, various flying insects are glued to the walls, sinks, and showers. Now tell me, how am I supposed to brush my teeth without the sensation of crunching in my Close-up? "The custodians refuse to believe there are bugs here," is what I was told by Don Pearman when I went to complain. Believe me, they will soon find out when they take a coffee break and find a UFO in their favorite drink. If something isn't done soon, me and the hundreds of residents of my room are going to march on Sullivan Hall!

Budget Rejected Some senators didn't agree, and argued about the funds allotted for events such as the counselor programs and innovative programming. "We've got to stop the budget someplace," said Kirby. The RHA budget, however, was passed with a seven vote margin, leaving some senators fuming Other allocations that were approved were fixed expenses, the choir. College Players, Cultural Affairs, the Executive budget, and the Social Committee. The budget will now return to the Finance Coipmittee, which drew it up in the first place, and it will be reworked and reviewed. It will then, in turn, go back to the Senate, where the whole process of passing it will begin again. One thing the Senate must keep in mind though, is the time. McBride said she would like to see the budget approved before the end of the semester. If it isn't, the matter will pass into the hands of the Summer Interim Committee, who must have a 'final budget before July 1. In other SCC matters, the Russell Carmen Memorial Committee presented Coach Jack Fisher with the RusseU Carmen Memorial Defensive Player Award, which will be given to the outstanding defensive football player every year. "1 want to thank you from the bottom of my heart," Fisher said. He also thanked the SCC for their $100 contribution to the Russell Carmen trust fund, and he thanked Burge and Vice President Daryl Rosidivito for attending the funeral in Rhode Island.

In commenting about next year's squad, Neff praised her junior varsity squad by i saying, "Our junior varsity squad showed lots of improvement and they worked very hard." In closing, Neff reminisced about the year by saying "I totally enjoy coaching because of the athletes involved in it."
