Selecting a council for e a c h
individual dormitory is a new
concept this year at LHS.
E a c h governmental group will
work under the general direction
of the Women's Residence Hall
A s s o c i a t i o n and will be responsible for the social programming
of the various dormitories on
campus, according to r e c e n t
reports.
The president of the individual
councils must be u p p e r c l a s s women with at least a 2.0 cumulative average.
The president
is r e s p o n s i b l e for conducting all
of the c o u n c i l ' s meetings and
for supervising the a c t i v i t i e s of
the council.
The vice president must a l s o
be an upperclassman with the
same cumulative average as the
minimum for the president. She
is charged with recording infractions of the dormitory rules.
T h e secretary may be a freshman coed. She is supposed to

is reportedly to better coordinate

make the LHS coeds residing on
campus a part of their government instead of being mere observers

Local AAUP Approves Motion
Concerning Student Press Rights
Freedom and responsibility of the student press
was one of the topics at a r e c e n t meeting of the
LHS chapter of the American A s s o c i a t i o n of University Professors.
The local AAUP l a s t week approved a motion to
"affirm its committment to the principles regarding
student p u b l i c a t i o n s " which are contained in a twoyear-old statement on rights and freedoms among
college and university s t u d e n t s .
"Student publications and the student press are
a valuable aid in establishing and maintaining an
atmosphere of free and responsible discussion and
of i n t e l l e c t u a l exploration on the c a m p u s , " the
statement read.
" T h e y are a means of bringing student concerns
to the attention of the faculty and the institutional
authorities and of formulating student opinion on
various i s s u e s on the campus and in the world at
large."
The ' p r i n c i p l e s ' referred to include three main
points:
l ~ t h a t the student press should be free of censor-

ship and advance approval of copy and that its editors and managers should be free to develop their
own editorial policies and news coverage;
2~that editors and managers of student publications
should be protected from arbitrary s u s p e n s i o n and
removal because of student, faculty, administrative, or public disapproval of editorial policy or
content;
3~that all college-published and -financed student
publications should explicitly s t a t e that the opinions contained within the publication are not n e c e r
sarily those of the college or of the student body.
The statement continued:
" . . . t h e editorial freedom of student editors and
managers entails corollary responsibilities to be
governed by the cannons of responsible journalism,
such as the avoidance of libel, indecency, undocumented a l l e g a t i o n s , attacks on personal integrity,
and the techniques of harassment and i n n u e n d o . "
The statement drafted by the local AAUP warned
that " a n y violation of these principles will be viewed by the local chapter a s c a u s e for immediate response."

announcement and crowning of the Homecoming Queen will be the highlight of
the afternoon. Saturday night a semiformal dance will be held in Thomas
Fieidhouse from 9-12.
The Homecoming Concert on Sunday
will'feature Little Anthony and the Imperials at 1:30 and 4:00 shows in Price
Auditorium. Tickets will be available
at the PUB reception desk on October
6, 1969 for $2.00 for LHSC students and
$2.50 for the general public.

John Bilski the first Lock Haven

the ground.
Last Tuesday's
meeting included the elections of
officers. Roger Allen was voted

Hartle, treasurer; John Woolridge,
vice president; and Bill Thorpe
a s president.
The club is currently working

is to popularize sailing and to
teach those interested in the
sport. The club has a current
membership of 21 s t u d e n t s , and
is open to anyu.ie. Experience
in sailing is not required.

At the end of a college art c l a s s ,
my you--' instructor was returning a w o r i . n ' s skeleton, used as

hall, carefully holding " h e r , "
he met a girl who fixed him and
the skeleton with a curious s t a r e .
He
shrugged
apologetically.

His argument is a familiar
one. Students should not be s o
ungrateful as to protest the conditions of the world in which
they find themselves. He would
prefer that they "express their
gratitude.
Gratitude that they live in
a country b a s e d on the rights
of life, liberty, and the pursun
of h a p p i n e s s , a country which
asks t h e s e very students to be
willing to die in Viet Nam to
sustain a government which denies t h o s e rights to its own people.
Gratitude that they must live
in a s o c i e t y that s t i l l makes
a murderer of "^ach
citizen
every time a capital s e n t e n c e
is carried out.
Gratitude that they are the
inheritors of a system that requires that the ethnic minority
and the poor resort to violence
before they can obtain their
own rights to life, liberty, and
the pursuit of h a p p i n e s s .
Gratitude that their society
i s motivated by violence and
competition rather than by love
and cooperation.
Gratitude that they are asked
simply to accept the values of
their parents rather than to discover sound b a s e s for building
their own s e t s of v a l u e s .
I, for one, would find such
gratitude to be the rankest ingratitude. For the best testament to a s o c i e t y built on the
concept of the freedom and dignity of the individual is a willingness constantly to rc-exumine the society in the light of
that b a s i c concept.

when I s e e students engageil

To the editor:
After reading the letter to the
editor the other night in the Lock
Haven E x p r e s s , regarding Dr.
P a r s o n s ' relationship with the
s t u d e n t s throughout the y e a r s , I
couldn't agree more. I have been
here twelve years a s Business
Manager and prior to that time as
a s t u d e n t . In all the time I have
been here and in talking with
those with longer s e r v i c e , we a l l
agree that with Dr. Parsons it
was always the s t u d e n t s ' welfare
which was uppermost in his mind.
I don't believe there is a college in the State whose President
is more sympathetic with student
c a u s e s . We were the first State
College in which the Student
Government had so much power
to run their own affairs.
I and all other staff members I
have talked with feel that it is
ironic and sad that a man who
has always been on the student's
side must be subjected to the
most vicious attacks in print
from students who s c a r c e l y know
him.
It seems to me that if more
people, both faculty and students,
would listen with open minds
and honestly try to understand
both s i d e s instead of following
the lead of dissidents in other
institutions of higher learning,
we would all be better off.
Believe me, I know Dr. Parsons*
feelings about the s t u d e n t s . His
whole life has been devoted to
helping them. Would he change
now, a short time before retirement? Quit crucifying him! If
there are problems, and there
always will b e , in any organization, bring them to the President
in a mature and intelligent way.
His door is always open to youi
I would like to see Lock Haven
State College stand out as a
model of student, faculty and
administration, cooperating in
solving the problems of the day.
Let us be the leaders of the
times, not just followers.
