Students Seem Confused
On Consequences of Absences
Being allowed one c u t for each
credit of a course tends to be
an accepted fact, b u t w h a t h a p pens after these "allowed" cuts
is confusing in t h e minds of
many students.
A survey of 78 students on
what they understand the c u t
system t o be revealed more t h a n
a dozen different explanations.
A l t h o u g h most said t h a t they
are allowed one c u t for each
credit, 17 complained t h a t absences for sickness and activity
trips, etc., should n o t be counted
against them.
" Y o u dare n o t have any cuts
n o mater w h a t . If you're sick
or dying you still get a c u t . So
you come t o class even if you
have p n e u m o n i a , " said freshman
Beveriy O h l .
Student's Right
Seven students placed the responsibility on the student.
" T h e cuts a s t u d e n t takes
should depend on the individual," said another freshman.
" H e m u s t learn t h a t someday he
might get sick and really need
a c u t ; therefore, t a k i n g cuts for
laziness' sake m a y be disasterous.
O n e s t u d e n t said t h a t the c u t
system is alright for those students w h o k n o w h o w t o use it.
" I t is good because it p u t s responsibility on the students, and
the s t u d e n t who takes unnecessary cuts should be penalized."
Eighteen students said t h a t
the i n s t r u c t o r deducts from the
grade of t h e s t u d e n t w h o overcuts or t h a t he can fail him.

T h e feasibility of an unlimited

T h e Board agreed t o use its

instead of in the periodical room.

A
person would have t h o u g h t t h a t

door.
Being rather broad minded, I
have taken this in m y stride, b u t
recently a change has taken
place in the library t h a t has
"cramped m y s t y l e " considerably.
N o w , I must admit t h a t I
have some tensions and inhibitions that the average person
does n o t have, b u t I did have a
way of relieving them. T h a t is,
I did have a way before the

M y method was simple.
I
took large volumes of bound

I got them w i t h t h a t big fivecell flashlight the librarian loaned

They
have placed a large piece of plywood over the railing, chained

EAGLES'

PEEK
Tomorrow the departure for
home begins again — at least for
the unfortunates who can't take
advantage of Saturday classes.
But we'll be peeking at you again
in two and one-half weeks after
which you'll be rested up from
sitting around enjoying holiday

life.
As of this writing, Dr. Parsons
is the only member of the Lock
Haven State family to bag a
buck although we hear that Mr.
Johnston lost on« of his bullets
in a deer claimed by another
"hunter."
But even if we credit LHSC
with killing two deer, we can't
compare with the Black Hills
Teachers College faculty in
Spearfish, S.D., where recently
the entire faculty went hunting
and each bagged a deer in an
hour and a half. Not bad, we'd
say, when there's deer around.

But when you can't find them,
you can't shoot them — is the
hunter's fish story.
Realizing that rain can shrink
some types of clothing, we suggest that perhaps the band should
be given enough money to purchase raincoats so it won't have
to pay to put the uniforms back
in shape. Come to think of it,
the rain can dampen many
things can't it???
The decorations in most of
the buildings look seasonal but a
bit elementary. But it must have
been fun splattering paint.
Did someone goof by not
scheduling the Hanging of the
Greens dance in the Gym? We
thought the lounge in the men's
dorm was Smith Lounge, not
Smith Dance Hall. If you didn't
know what claustrophobia was
before the dance, you know it
now.

number of married students on
college campuses?
Did you
know that married students generally make higher grades than
unmarried students?
The current rise in the "married student" category began
after World War II when veterans began attending colleges.
They proved that the married
student can do well in spite of
financial difificulites and parttime jobs.
How do they do it? Prosperity has aided this trend of
married college students. Many
students work or get aid from
parents. Often the parents are
willing to continue paying the
student's entire tuition as they
did before the marriage.
Team Work
Many colleges and universities
provide inexpensive living quarters for married couples and
their families. If the husband
is the student his wife works
willingly to put him through
college or vice versa. Frequently,
a married woman returns to college when her husband is called
into the service. And, generally,
they do it in an admirable way.
What type of student is the
married undergraduate? He is
more serious. He wants to get

the full benefit of his studies.
He is willing to assume extra
responsibility such as the burdens imposed by an unexpected
child, with the attitude to "make
the best of it." He is content
knowing for whom and for what
he is working.
Less Worries
No longer is he making a halfhearted attempt just to please
his parents; he is working for
his wife and himself. He no
longer worries and frets about
popularity, status and dating.
Married students are a good
influence both socially and academically. These couples frequent concerts, lectures and
plays, thus raising the social status of the school.
Because of the number of
married students on the average
college campus, ordinary dances
are not as well-attended as they
were at one time. These ordinary dances are not worth the
expense of a sitter in the case of
a family with children.
Married students have a great
degree of incentive for study.
They raise the over-all college
average by raising the curve in
class tests and spurring unmarried students to do better. This
competitive spirit aids greatly in
inspiring the undergraduates.

Student Teacher
Discusses School
For Retarded
Rodney F. Ewing, senior in
health education from Titusville,
presented a film on the Vineland
Training School for the Mentally Retarded in New Jersey recently for a group of students
and faculty on campus.
Ewing, presently student teaching, gave an informative talk
on the duties, requirements and
wages of the summer counselors
at Vineland.
This training school, established in 1880, is a leading institution for the year-round care
and training of 2 5 0 children. It
specializes in the research done
on mental retardation and developing its students' skills, thus
making them more responsible
citizens.

In a recent government class,
a freshman tried to prove a point
about high income taxes. In his
example he used the instructor
in charge as a professor who
made $12,000 a year and wrote
articles which freqently were
published in Harper's magazine.
His point was to prove that by

lar job.
The instructor explained how
the student's logic was wrong
since the extra money earned
would put the total salary in a
higher bracket, increasing the
taxes.
Then the instructor said:
"You get an 'E' for your example but an 'A' for first, call— for
ing me a professor; second, for
saying I make $12,000 a year;
and third, for saying that anything I would write would be accepted by Harper's."

Professor Gets
County Post
Miss Frances Dortort, associate professor of education, has
been chosen as social work consultant for the Psychiatric Social Work Program in the Clinton County Schools, it was announced by John Beck, superintendent of the Schools.
Miss Dortort's responsibilities
include the selection of a fulltime psychiatric social worker
and the initial visit to faculties
of the several county schools for
the purpose of explaining this
program to the teachers.
The response following Miss
Dortort's presentation of the

Schools' faculties indicates not
only the need for this new program but also the willingness of
the teachers to co-operate in its
operation.

Pubhshes Book
Of Team Skills
A 1949 health and physical
education graduate, Dr. George
B. Pearson, recently had pubhshed a book titled Methods of
T e a c h i n g the Fundamental
Skills of Team Sports by the
William C. Brown Company,
Dubuque, Iowa.
This book, the first to be published by a graduate of Lock
Haven State's physical education
department, contains a wealth of
teaching drills for basketball,
baseball-Softball, field hockey,
soccer-speedball, track and volleyball.
Dr. Pearson is presently in
California.
Remember the time the public
address announcer announced the
"Star Spangled Banner" and the

The matador flags of crimson
which you saw flashing around
campus earlier this semester were
part of the newly-organized drill
team.
Student directed by Miss
Nancy Peterson, sophomore in
physical education from Titusville, and supervised by Miss Jean
Deabold of the physical education department, the drill team
was organized to supply entertainment during halftime at the
football games.
Members planned and provided their own uniforms of
white toreador pants, white ivyleague blouses, and white shoes.
The cummerbund of red taffeta
matched the red matador flags
and set off the white of the uniform in an attractive contrast.
The team practiced for about
six weeks before the weather
co-operated and gave the co-eds
the opportunity to perform at
the final home game against
Mansfield.
Hence, the drill
team's performances began and
ended this season at this game.
The college band, directed by
John Swartz, provided music of
"Lady of Spain" as the team
whirled their flags in rhythmic
fashion.
Recognition goes out to the
team which demonstrated patience in waiting to perform for
the spectators.

"WelU—I'm waiting!!"

Do girls need to be placed on a
nine-week probation period if
their grades aren't up to par?
On our campus, if a freshman
woman receives a certain number
ber of below grades, she receives
special hours during the week
which means that she must be
in the dormitory by 7:30 p.m.
The freshman women have
various opinions on this important issue.
Mila Gay Nier said that this
probation period — with 7:30's
through the week — was for the
birds. She doesn't think that
they really fulfill their purpose.
Claire Wragg was completely
indifferent but she did think that
the restricting hours were to the
advantage of some girls since it
forced them to stay in and
study.
Brenda Wagner and Sandra
Stambaugh aren't exactly fond
of the idea, and Carol Hockenbury is against this restrictive
measure.

For some students, this restriction can be to their advantage
and it often is. But, there are
always those students who can
manage to waste valuable time
regardless.
The
restriction
doesn't help them at all. "Why
don't the men have them?" is a
very familiar cry from the freshman women.
If students aren't mature
enough to budget their time
wisely when they come to college, they should get just what
they earn — even though the
ultimate grade may be below
' C level. Even though incorrect
budgeting of time is not always
the main factor, it is a leading
contributor.
Nine-week grades shouldn't be
a punishment. If it's to be that,
restrictions should be placed on
all students. Nine-week grades
should serve a purpose. That
purpose being to warn students
that they are in academic trouble. Then, it's up to the student to look out for himself.

at Lock Haven State College are
being kept particularly busy
these days with water polo, volleyball, and soon intramural basketball.
Water polo is something new
at Lock Haven State this year.
There is now something of interest to all types of swimmers
from the Syncronized Swim
Club to the swim team to this
new sport, water polo. Men of
any curriculum may participate
in this sport by contacting Harold Hacker for information.
Once again it's basketball season not only for the varsity and
junior varsity squads but also for
the intramural squads.
The Bucktails of league 1 and
the Rugheads of league 2 played
a championship game which gave
an excellent climax to the Co-ed
Volleyball program. The Bucktails took the championship by
winning three out of five games
instead of the usual two out of
three games.
