Lock Haven State College Maps and booklets describe authors ^°ss to be held 1 How do you find out what famous writers have been born in Pennsylvania? Or resided in the state? Or wrote important works associated with Pennsylvania? The answers are now available through up-to-date maps and accompanying booklets published in October by the Pennsylvania Council of Teachers of English, according to Professor May Ireland, president of the council and a faculty member at Lock Haven State College. The "Literary Map of Pennsylvania" measures 17 by 22 inches, is printed in red and blue, and indicates the locations associated with the authors. Bordering the map are lists of the authors who are writers of world, national, or state renown and were born in Pennsylvania, resided in Pennsylvania for an appreciable period of time, or are authors of important works associated with Pennsylvania. These authors range from such well-known writers as anthropologist Margaret Mead, born in Philadelphia, and novelist John O'Hara, born in Pottsville, to naturalist Euell Gibbons, who lives in Beavertown, to Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence. The accompanying booklet for the map, the "Biographical Companion to the literary Map of Pennsylvania," provides a biographical sketch of each author listed on the map. Other Pennsylvania-born authors include dramatist Maxwell Anderson, Crawford County; poet Stephen Vincent Benet, Bethlehem; naturalist Rachel Carson, Springdale; American Indian authority George Catiin, Wilkes-Barre; literary critic, Malcolm Cowley, Belsano; dramatist Gcroge S. Kauffman, Pittsburgh; novelist Conrad Ritcher. Pine Grove; artist John Sloan. Lock Haven; patron of the arts Gertrude Stein, Allegheny; poet Wallace Stevens, Reading; in Sloan Theater The Mass of the Resurrection for Lorna Armstrong will be held Thursday November 13th at 4 p.m. in Sloan Theater. Celebrant of the Mass will be Father Bob Conlin, assistant pastor of St. Agnes Roman Catholic Church and chaplain to the Newmann Club. International students will serve as lectors and pallbearers. The Newman Club will provide music. Although the Catholic funeral service is usually held in a church, due to the fact that Ms. Armstrong was a member of the student body and active in theater, Father Conlin has consented to the Sloan Theater site. The service will be taped and sent to the ArmsWHERE THEY WERE BORN - President Francis trong family.

This financial aid is in the form of either a loan, part-time employment, grant, or a scholar- ship from some source. A total of 1,200 to 1,250 have applied for financial aid of some sort. After the 150 to 200 ineligible students are taken from this number, 45 percent of the student body is receiving financial aid. CAS convenes at California CAS representatives from the 14 state colleges recently gathered at aCalifornia State College to participate in the organization's first convention scheduled for this year. Collective discussion and comparison of specific problems confronting CAS Coordinators on various state college campuses was an activity of major concern at the convention. "We had a lot of good discussion," said Lock Haven CAS coordinator, Paul Benkert. "It was a meeting to get acquainted with the new executive director and field representative." Executive Director Eugene Carroll and field representative Richard Kinane were introduced to the audience of CAS representatives and jointly facilitated the meeting. "This number will increase by next semester," stated Bryan Van Deun, Financial Aid director. The reason for the increase, he reported, is additional eligibility and more money still available. "It is still not too late," Van Deun said, "to apply for financial aid for next semester." He pointed out, though, that this must be done within the next few weeks. The greatest possibilities forfinancialaid still remaining for next semester are workstudy and National Direct Student Loans according to Van Deun. Anyone wishing to apply for financial aid for next semester should go to the financial aid office page 2 EAGLE EYE Wednesday, Nov. 12, 1975 Commentary.... Selling the candidates By LARRY SCHMIDT News Editor Nobody's an angel! When something important comes up, when there's something that we really want, none of us ever thinks that cheating is all that bad. This past week I relearned some of the "human nature truisms" that 1 have been trying to push from my naive mind. The source of my learning experience was the SCC executive committee elections. From it 1 learned the unquestionable value of slander, the harmless yet satisfying effect lies can have, the truth in the statement "nothing said - nothing said wrone" and most importantiy - the unbelievable gullibility of students and how easily they can be deceived. Now you have to understand that when I say I learned the value of slander and how gullible students are, 1 don't mean to imply that the Co-op slate won simply because they were the better slanderers. I don't mean that at all. What 1 would like to point out is that the Co-operative slate ran an absolutely brilliant campaign in the Nixon- Agnew smear tradition. They were clever undeniably crafty in their campaign strategy. Look'. people have been studying how to run the "perfect campaign" for some time now. Slimy Madison Avenue ad-men have been advising crooks like Nixon for years that the way to get ahead is not to present ideas, but rather to look your best while you stab your opponent in the back or cut his throat. The Co-operative slate campaign was one of the finest examples of low-handed trickery I've seen in a long time. They used all the tricks and used them well. Consider how skillfull it was to attack the objectivity of the press BEFORE anything was even written. I mean, that was an absolutely crafty move. If anything bad was printed about the Co-operative slate the students [those that can read] could immediately assume that we were being biased. Great use of slander! Its even better when you realize that they used this same "biased" newspaper to outline their ideas and attack the press. Wasn't it great the way they kept themselves from appearing before campus-wide groups [the open press conference] prefering instead to appear before specialized groups (individual dorms, athletic teams). They could promise the individual groups anythingand never worry about whether it conflicted with another group's interests. Besides even if they can't fulfill their promises - they've already been elected. The Objective slate kept arousing resentment by trying to explain their ideas and taking realistic stances. Somehow the Co-operative slate stayed away from all this confusion. If the Objective slate did propose a popular idea, the Co-operative cont. on page 4 Kaye Hopple Who's Who Among Stndents In American Universities and CoUeges? Well, quite a few Greeks!

Social catharsis lives in the cellar of Sigma Pi •'Schoolboys throw out all the stops on a Friday Night. . . . " Bruce Springsteen By TOM MURRAY Staff Reporter Perhaps the single most important social phenomena in America is the weekly assault on the nervous system called Friday Night. It may be the only ritual shared with equal enthusiasm by everybody, regardless of race, color, creed, etc. On Friday Night everyone boogies. It is the true American melting pot. At Lock Haven State College, a major focal point for Friday Night aficionados is the Sigma Pi Party. As a Friday Night activity it is neariy as traditional as going home for the weekend. There are two basic stimuli at the core of the Friday Night ideal: alcohol and sex. The Sigma Pi party affords opportunity for indulgence in both. Like gangster movies, fraternity parties are genre events. They follow a formula that, while not entirely predictable, nevertheless leaves the participant with relatively the same impression, and aftertaste. The Party actually begins not at the Sigma Pi house at all, but in the residence halls and apartments of the party-goers. The last class cut of the week is made and the volume on the stereo is cranked up a notch or two. The booze is broken out, and the joints are lit as soon as the doors are locked. The Great Imbibe has begun. The Arrival at a Sigma Pi party is no less strategic an act than fading blue jeans or gettin seconds at the cafeteria. The trick is to leave early enough to get there fashionably late. It's true that a small group has made their arrival around 9:00, but these are exceptions. Largely males, they hang at the celler bar and pour their own. They are the truly thirsty, the truly horny. Desperados. Meanwhile, in the apartments and the dorms, they are ready. Out of McEntire, Gross and High they come and parade down Main Street in groups of four and eight. They have dollars in their pockets and their knuckles are bared for the mandatory stamp at the firat house door. Everybody arrives within a half hour, the half hour that includes the Magic Moment. The Magic Moment is real. I have seen it myself, and it occurs at precisely ten minutes after ten every Friday Night. Suddenly, the stairs to the cellar are as packed as an escalator in Macy's on Christmas Eve. The cellar is as cont. on page 4 Wednesday, Nov. 12, 1975 Playoff game Saturday EAGLE EYE 2nd seeded booters face Hopkins By MIKE COX Staff Retwrter After a two-week lay off. Coach Kari Herrmann's Bald Eagle Booters are back to the soccer scene once again, hosting John's Hopkins University this Saturday to kickoff the Eastern qualifiers of the 1975 NCAA Div. Ill soccer championships. Johns Hopkins, out of Baltimore Maryland, are the number three seeded team in the qualifier, coming into this game against the second seeded Bald Eagles with a 10-1-1 record. They have scored 32 goals in their twelve games while giving up just six tallies and registering seven shutouts during the season. Johns Hopkins has defeated Towson State and Gettysburg by identical 4-1 scores and powerful Baltimore University 4-2. The team from Maryland has blanked both Haverford and Washington College by 3-0 margins, last year's NCAA Div. Ill runner-up Swarthmore 2-0, Loyala and Georgetown by 1-0 margins, and Ursinus and Franklin and Marshall by 4-0 and 5-0 scores respectively. Their only loss was a 1-0 squeaker to Delaware, presently ranked number four in the East. The only other blemish on Johns Hopkins record a 1-1 tie with Dickinson University. "They have a highly skilled ball control team," stated Herrmann, when asked about this Saturday's opponent. "We're going to have to work hard and pick them up tight and not give them a chance to settle. We'll have to beat them at midfield - which is where a game is usually won or lost." "They're a very strong defensive team," added the Eagle head mentor. "They're given up just six goals in twice as many games. Its certainly going to be a test for us as far as doing something offensively against them because no-one else has. If anyone can sting Johns Hopkins, it could very will be the Bald Eagles.

By TINA BROOKS Staff Reporter jo Ernst ^ Grid confesf Field hockey team faces Rutgers 1st By AND! HOFFMAN Staff Reporter The Lock Haven State Women's Field Hockey Team will be travelling to Millersville November 13-15 to compete in the regional collegiate tournament. The tournament will be single elimination with a consolation round for third place. The Eaglettes, supporting an 11-0-1 record, are seeded No. 1 going into the tournament. Their first game will be against Rutgers Thursday morning. Five out of the top eight teams are from Pennsylvania. Those teams are Lock Haven, West aChester, Penn State, Ursinus, and East Stroudsburg. The other three states in the region include New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland. The team has set three new records this season. Those records are the most wins, the most shut-outs, and the most consecutive shut-outs in a single season. Senior Captain Cathy Sherman commented on the regionals, saying "Everyone is out to beat us, but if we play our game we should come out on top." Senior Jo Ernst agreed, stating that "We have out work cut out for us. The potential is there, but it will take a total team effort." Senior Superstar Ronnie Lawson added that "Regionals will be a more difficult tournament than nationals because the top naitonal powers are in our region. If we play our game and don't let down it is indicative that we will be at the national tournament." Wednesday, Nov. 12, 1975 page 4 EAGLE EYE social catharsis lives in the cellar of sigmo pi cont. from page 2 crowded as a Chicago stockyard. Even the eternal puddle by the bar is filled with sneakers and Earth Shoes. The stereo, silent for the past five minutes, erupts into "Get Down Tonight." A keg is sucked dry in seconds flat. The new arrivals focus their attention on the three tap bar in the cellar. Unfortunately the density of the crowd makes getting a beer equivalent to running the gauntlet. It takes either the patience of a saint or the force of a bulldozer. Even after you have bit clawed, squirmed and shoved your way to the bar you still aren't out of the woods. You've got your beer(s), but you are also crushed against the bar by a crazed, parched mob. You must make a decision: either risk spilling the fruits of your labor or suffer a severe attack of claustrophobia. Nowhere in town can so much beer be drank at such minimal cost. And with the resultant inebriation comes liberation, which finds its expression in Dance. The Dancers at Sigma Pi lack both the polish of Soul Train and the technique of St. Vitus' famous ensemble. Their bumps frequentiy miss the mark or are too heavily applied. The Lock Haven Hustle has yet to put 'em away on American Bandstand. But aesthetics aside, the kids are having a whale of a time. The music they dance to ranges from the pleasantiy innocuos to the glaringly insipid. But you can't dance to Dylan anyway. When amplified to a certain degree even Led Zeppelin produces some movement, if only out of sheer discomfort. , Now with all this guaffing and hoofing, it is not lorig before the kidneys demand a reckoning. In this area there is selling the candidates cont. from page 2 slate would merely echo me too, me too, new blood," It was the perfect controlled campaign, even down to that last subtle slam presented on the very day of the election. Humbly the Co-operative slate graciously accepted that the Eagle Eye just couldn't help but be prejudiced towards their friends. It worked! The student body wants this stuff. One supporter even admitted that he thought the Co-operative slate was using crookery but smiled "That's politics." Alot of people would judge Lock Haven as existing in a 10 year time-warp yet apparentiy this isn't the case. After all, this election places us right in the Nixon-Agnew heydey. Ultimately this commentary will be judged by some as proof positive that the Eagle Eye was or is biased in covering news. I contest this by pointing out that it was written following the elections, and is offered only as my personal opinion. To ignore such underhanded campaigning would seem a gross ignorance on the part of a writer. a great advantage to being a male. A tree or a shrub, it's as simple as that. But the poor women, through physiology and social conditioning, must use more technical appliances. And so long lines of pained smiles are formed outside the bathroom doors. When the boys and girls aren't taking care of their bladders they are out there looking for a prospective Romeo or Juliet. Despite the difficulties in projecting animal magnetism in a dimly lit cellar full of writhing crazies, moves are still make with satisfactory results. Eye contact isn't much good though, with the poor lighting and general alcoholic haze. A nod's a good as a wink to a blind horse. The art of conversation may or may not be dead. At Sigma Pi it is mostly unintelligible. Imagine the countless words of endearment and proposition that go unheeded because of the insistent droning of the Doobie Brothers. The Most important topics concern the availability of beer. Phrases like "Get me a beer?" and "Is there any more beer?" act as gauges in the lifespan of the party. It is when the latter question is met with a negative response that the death knell has sounded for the Sigma Pi Party. Without fuel the vehicle grounds to a halt. Thirsty or not, there is something inherently wrong in partying without a styrofoam cup of Schlitz in your hand at all times. With the beer gone the cellar empties quickly. A few diehards dance a while, but not long. New found lovers seek fun on another plane, and the search grows monotonous for the rest. The party's over. But not forgotten by Wednesday the perennial Lock Haven question, "What's happening this weekend?" is answered with theperennial Lock Haven answer, "I don't know what's going on Saturday, but Friday Night, well, there's always Sigma Pi."
