Students like social life
By Kenneth Ardner
Although Lock Haven
State may have a -e put at ion
as a " s u i t c a s e c o l l e g e "
two-thirds of its s t u d e n t s ,
according to a recent survey,
are satisfied with the social
life on campus.
This was the finding of
a recent s t u d e n t - a c t i v i t i e s
survey of one hundred stud e n i s . The survey was conducted by members of Dr.
Betty Wisniewski's Section
9 speech class.
This survey did r e v e a l ,
nevertheless,
that
aboul
three-quarters of the student
body leave campus at least
once a month to see their
s w e e t h e a r t s or parents, or
because they feel that there
is not enough student activities.
A major misconception
on the par t of the entire
student body c o n c e r n s th'

number of activities offered
at the Haven.
More than
three-fourths of those surveyed believed that there were
ten or less a c t i v i t i e s offered
between the start of the
semester and February 4. In
reality the number of activit i e s scheduled during that
time was 231 Perhaps this
helps to explain the fact
that the average
studeni
attended only 5.2 activities
during that time.
Sixty three percent of
those polled indicated that
they would attend more activities if they were offered.
Students were then asked for
suggestions for more activit i e s . While ;he most popular
response was for b e t t e r conc e r t s , there were numerous
calls for more fiays and
movies,
more
black and
Christian-oriented a c t i v i t i e s ,
horseback r i d i n g , and dances
during the week.

'Joe sfudenf'arrives o f closed' Eogle Wing
by Bonnie Gilbert
Picture the s c e n e . . .
You're studying for a t e s t ,
and i t ' s getting late. So, you
decide to truck on down to
the Eagle Wing. " J o e
s t u d e n t " (that's you) can't
function
on
an
empty
stomach, now can he? " J o e "
arrives at the Eagle Wing
just as the clock s t r i k e s
11:30. And what to h i s dismay should appear but a sign
which reads "We're C l o s e d . "
T h a t ' s right, the Eagle
Wing now c l o s e s at 11:30
PM. A recent poll taken by
Mr. Nagy indicated a lack of
student use of the Eagle
Wing after 11:30. The survey
also has caused a change in
weekend hours. The snack
bar does not open on Saturday and Sunday until 10 AM

due to a lack of usage before
that lime.
Schedule c h a n g e s are
not the only recent changes
made at the Eagle Wing. Now
both
evening
and
daily
specials are offered. To
avoid monotony, new foods
have been added to the menu
to provide more variety.
Holiday s p e c i a l s are particularly good. Many students
received free pieces of cake
on the recent Valentine's
Day holiday.

The "rip-off"
There are a few problems in connection with the
operation of the Eagle Wing.
One problem is the " o l d
college rip-ofP'. T h e Eagle
Wing is doing everything they

can lo give the sludents the
b e s t food al the lowest
possible p r i c e s . If rip-offs
continue on a large s c a l e , a
price rise will be necessary
to absorb the l o s s . Mr. Nagy
s a y s that the students have
been regulating each olher
and themselves well in
regards to this matter. He
hopes they will continue lo
do so.
Anoiher
problem
in
relation to the snack bar is
ils lack of s p a c e . At times
when movies are being
shown, there is barely
enough space to seat 20 nonmovie viewers. T h i s could
be alleviated in the future
through the installation of
booths.
Another
future
development could be a radar
range to help relieve s p a c e

problems in the kitchen area.
livening
entertainment
has been suggested for the
future. T h i s entertainment
could include a Dixieland
band,
individual
guest
artists or anyone who wants
to perform.

There w i l l be an Im

And that name is Ralph
By Bill Mahon
Buddy, Jack, Mike, Jeff,
Bob, Jimmy and several other
men have a few thingt^ in
common.
One of Uiose Ts
that they all have the same
first name. And that name is
Ralph.
By invitation of the
brothers of La nbda Chi Alpha,
and particularly Danny Tispc
whose cousin plays lead
guitar foi the group, Ralph
played over two and a half
hours non-stop Friday evening. About 1400 rock fans
faced the len musicians and
their stage which spanned
t h e width of Thomas hie Id
House.

Had A Good Time
(I'll only use first names
because that's how I came to
kuow the members of the
group.)
Jack who plays
organ and moog and also
doubles as manager, summed
up the groups philosophy by
saying - we gel up there to
boogie and to gel the audience to boogie with u s .
In talking wilh the members after the concert 1 discovered they all agreed on
one thing - they had a gocxl
time. They had a gocxi time
because they coukl feel the
audience having a gocxl lime.
Jack and his brother Jimmy
who has bee;! playing second
trumpet with the group for
the lasl few weeks, are from
Cleveland. Jimmy has gone
to college and works for his
parents as an apprentice

Poefry is an
extension of
Ford's persona/
/ife

Large crowd enjoys Ralph concert
mortician.
The rest of the group
are full-lime musicians. They
jre professionuj
and live
their music.

First Album
Ralph
loured England
last year aixl they recorded
their first album. But Bob,
who is in charge of the
groups' national promotion
said il was so excellent
they probably won't release
il for another year. In the
meantime, the group
'las
been taking off a week every
nijillis lo record new material. They hope to release
this on an album in the next
couple months.
Bob said the gr oup will
br starting a nalional promotion in the next couple of
wjeks.
After working a i d

practicing hard for years " t h e
time is r i g h t " Bob said for
everybody lo enjoy the sounds
of Ralph.
One of the members of
the group said they had a
chance of making it big,
especially with Jae.k and
Bob working for them. He
said j a c k and Bob wenl to
Chicago and in three months
converted an FM radio station into a quadro-phonic
station which is now one of
the more popular in the
countr y.
TTC musician philosophised - il's better lo fail at
trying something than lo
succeed al nothing.
When the group left Lock
Haven Saturday morning all
that was left behind was
their remark - we like people.
And what diey look with them
was the remark • people like
Ralph.

Ford made the western a staple
by David C. Heverly
John Ford was about the
only man who could refer to
John Wayne as that " b i g
oaf" ~ and get away with it.
Ford, who was born Sean
Aloysius O'Feeney, would
simply
introduce
himself
with, "My name's John Ford.
I make w e s t e r n s . ' ' A man
who received four New York
Film C r i t i c s ' Awards and six
Academy Awards didn't have
to blow his own horn. His
films made sure that he was
the Grand Old Man of Film.
It was probably John
Ford, more than anyone e l s e ,
who made the western the

Tues., Feb. 26, 1974

staple of American film. Ile
began working in films as a
propman and doing stunts in
1914.
Ile worked as an extra
for D. W. Griffith. " I rode
W'itli the Klansmen in Bir/Zi
of a \ulion,"
recalled Ford
in an interview with Peter
Bogdanovich. "1 was the
one wilh the g l a s s e s . 1 was
riding wilh one hand holding
up the hood so 1 could s e e ,
because the damn thing kept
slipping over my g l a s s e s . "

His first talkie

After making 35 films,
many of them "horse o p e r a s "
with legendary silent screen
cowboy Harry Carey, Ford
made his first
"talkie".
"Napoleon's Barber", while
just an ass ignment for Ford,
was unique in that it was the
first sound film made outdoors.
It wasn't until 1939 that
Ford made his first western
with sound. Il was this film,
" S t a g e c o a c h " , and Ford's
direction, that transformed a
former singing cowboy a r d

A
very
moving
and
interpersonal poetry presentation by William Ford, member of the Lycoming College
Faculty, took place Thursday
evening
in Bentley Hall
Lounge.
Mr. F o r d ' s poetry seemed
lo revolve around four main
influences in his life.
Wilh a youth spent in
-outhern California in Los
rtngeles, films became a big
part of his life. "My imagination was directed to a great
e x t e n t . " said Ford. His
film influence is represented
in h i s poem,
JohnWayne's
Day was
expendable.
His family are conservative
southern
Baptists.
His strict religious training
is shown in the poem Solitary
Lies,
a sequence of five
poems, of which the first
had heavy religious overtones.
A t h l e t i c s is the third
contributing factor to h i s
writing. At one time Ford
wanted to be a major league
pitcher. T h i s ambition developed as his father was a
b a s e b a l l coach.
The fourth effect on h i s
poetic style is the Vietnam
Conflict. T h i s is represented
by two poems,
Sleeping
Through
Peace,
and Act
of Courage. The latter poem
d e a l s with what happens
between
a
husband
and
wife after the husband returns home from the war.
On the Freeway at 4:47
in the Afternoon is about the
traffic tie ups on Los^Angeles
freeways during rush hour.
In this poem there are
touches ofharcia Lorca's poem
A La Cinco de la Tarde, concerning the
confrontation
between the bullfighter at
five in the afternoon, an admirable parallel.
Ford's
poetry
is
an
extension of his personal life
and
experiences. Through
reading h i s works, one learns
about the man and aboul the
thoughts behind the man.
