opponents.
The only Objective slate
candidate elected was unop-

posed Recording Secretary
Roseann Brunetti.
When asked to comment on
his victory, Nawrocki stated,
"I would just like to express
my thanks to all of those
involved in any way with the
campaign. Now that the
campaign is over, I know the
rdad ahead will be a long and
hard one. But I am confident
that with help from the
members of the Executive
Committee, Senate, and other
concerned students that we
can provide a student gov't
that is truly responsive."
A total of 991 votes were
cast in the election, representing a 42% student turnout. A
meeting between the incoming
and outgoing executive committees has been set for

Educator refutes claims
of educational decline
Despite current concern
over declines in scores on
college aptitude tests, there is
no evidence of "a massive
slide-off in the basics," a
prominent educator asserts.
Fred T. Wilhelms, former
executive secretary of the
Association for Supervision
and Curriculum Development,
has declared that "The worst
that can be said is that we may
have come down a little ft'om
the crest of he mid sixties,
leaving us still well above any
prior time."
Wilhelms then lists the
"trade-offs" ~ improvements
in the schools today he says
more than make up for th^
possible slight declines 'J$
academic accomplishments.
The former education asso-

ciation executive presents his
views in the NovemberDecember issue of the National Education Association journal. Today's Edacation. In a
companion article, the president of Johns Hopkins University accepted the premise
that educational standards are
slipping, then offered five
reasons why they are difficult
to maintain in the modem
American system of mass
education.
While Wilhelms conjectures that public discontent
over test scores may largely be
resentment of change in education and a longing for
familiar old-fashioned content
cabined with rigid discipline,

The purpose of a little Herstory will be to shed some
light on the lives of professionally-oriented women in the
Lock Haven area and to celebrate International Women's
Year.
Does the adage "a woman's work is never done" apply to the
average wife and mother? Yes, especially if she is also a Family
Planning office coordinator, credit union treasurer, and purchasing
clerk.
Susan Congdon's responsibilities at Lock Haven Hospital in
these capacities and her duties as a wife and mother make even the
most active women look idle.
The ability to pursue and maintain individuality in both
career and family life is held in high esteem by Congdon, wife of Dr.
Howard Congdon, LHS philosophy professor. In her role as a parent
she applies this ideal by allowing for the development of her child's
sense of individuality.
"Work is a good outlet for me," she said. "Even though the
entire family is a group entity you still have to have time for
individual interests."
After graduating from LHSC in 1972, Mrs. Congdon
attended graduate school in Connecticut and received a Master's
degree in Education. At that time she became interested in the area
of family planning.
"No baby is to be born unwanted," stated Congdon, who is
concerned with the lack of information on family planning and
parenthood available to youn people in certain areas.
A close relationship exists between her news on the
prospective role of family planning in society and her practical
enactment of those views in her work.
Although family planning is included in some sex education
curriculums, Congdon expressed the need for education to play a
more extensive role in preparing young people for parenthood and
in informing them of various family planning services.

Institute sponsors prize for essay
Students in college or
graduate school have an opportunity to win a top award of
$2,500 cash plus a $2,500
research or travel grant in an
essay contest on welfare reform sponsored by the Institute for Socioeconomic
Studies.
Leonard M. Greene, Institute president, said the award
will be made for the besi
10,000-word paper of the
subject "Income Supplementation " A Solution of
America's Welfare Crisis."
A second prize of $1,000
cash and up to ten consolation
prizes of $100 each will also be
awarded. The staff and trustees of the Institute will be
judges.
The research program of
the non-profit foundation of

White Plains, N.Y. is focused
on exploring possible reform
of United States welfare
policy.
Deadline for entry of
papers is March 1, 1976. The
essay contest winners will
receive their awards at a
presentation ceremony in
Washington, D.C. early in
May, 1976. While in Washington, both the essay winner and
the runner-up will meet with
ranking members of Congress
in a symposium on welfare
reform to be sponsored by the
Institute for Socioeconomic
Studies.
In announcing the competition, Greene said its objective
is "to encourage America's
students to think constructively about the vast problems
caused by the failure of
present U.S. socioeconomic

policy."
Entrants' papers, he said,
may give consideration to such
topics as an evaluation of
existing welfare programs,
techniques of income supplementation, and how work
incentives are affected by
present welfare policy and how
that might be altered by
adoption of an income supplement.
The Institute reserves the
right to cancel the first and
second prizes if, in the sole
judgement of the judges, no
suitable papers are submitted.
Registration forms and

Second time in a row

Matmen capture York tourney title
By MIKE COX
Staff Reporter
The Bald-Eagle wrestlers
captured the York College
Spartan Open Championship
for the second year in a row on
Saturday with a record 113
points. Twenty-two colleges
represented by 230 competitors competed in the day long
championship on four mats at
the York, Pa., College. The
Bald-Eagles once again proved
that they are still the class of
"small college" wrestiing in
the East.
The tournament is designed primarily for NCAA Division III and NAIA schools.
LHSC was the only NCAA
Division I school invited to
participate. LHSC also set the
record for the most champions
(5) and place-finishers (12) in
the tournaments five year
history.
Capturing titles for LHSC
were Cari Lutz, (121); Tim
McCamley (135); Michael
Moore (147); Greg Hackenburg (153); and George Way
(170). Lutz, McCamley and
Way were defending champions. LHSC also had four
finalists in USWF National
Champ, Gary Uram (118); Tom
Parker (129); Al Fricke (195);
and Jim Schuster, HWT. Litho
Ware, (161); and Dave Hoffman, (139); placed third, while
Barry Adams (139) garnered a
fourth.
A successful performance
in the annual pre-season York
Open is important to Coach
Dr. Ken Cox and his grapplers, primarily to establish
themselves as front runners
and prove to mat "buffs" that
they, in fact, do belong in the
NCAA-Division I with the
major colleges and universities. Less than a month
remains before the BaldEagles travel to PSU to take on
the likes of PSU, Pitt, Navy,
Michigan State, Clarion, Slippery Rock, and Kentucky.
The strong showing is
encouraging. The Bald-Eagles
are off to a good start, but only
time will tell. The Bald-Eagles
have excellent balance and,
barring injuries, can "hang"
in there with anyone. Injuries
could be a major factor in the

teams' success. They must
stay healthy.
The caliber of wrestiing in
the York Open was again
excellent, with ESSC's Gary
Kessel (161) winning the
OWA.

educator refutes claims of educational decline
cont from page 1

quick survey showed that
there is some reason to
suspect a slippage in the past
decade" in educational
achievement.
In a closer look at several
evidences of decline, the
educator either finds reasons
to hold the results in doubt or
basic explanations of why the
minor declines have come
about.
Among the things that
ha opened to youth "on the
road to 1975," Wilhelms lists
disillusionment with the war in
Vietnam, a massive alienation
from the old establishment,
formation of youthful countercultures, revulsion against
materialism and careerism, a
driving quest for new lifestyles, a new morality, and a
new mode of relationships
among groups and between
individuals.
The writer suggests several "trade-offs" or gains he
believes the schools have
made that outweigh possible
academic losses. For instance,
"If student motivation has
waned a bit in the sciences,
should we not balance into the
equation the enormous strides
we are taking in the humanities?"
Wilhelms argues that the
tremendous problems facing
education related to "fitting
ourselves to the spirit and
needs of our times."
"I see no sense in a
hysterical retreat into old-style
formalistic hammering at a
few tool skills, coupled with an
authoritarian rigidity of discipline," Wilhelms says. "The
problems don't lie on that line,
and neither do the solutions."
Nevertheless, he suggests
here is "no great reason why
larents should not be offered a
ariety of conservative options
along with the more liberal
.)nes - if they want them."
\lthough a few groups "may
JO off the deep end, back to
the oppressive dullness and
occasional callousness which
once prevailed," the "plain
common sense" and good
training of most teachers and
administrators will reduce the
risks.
In the accompanying article. President Steven Muller of
Johns Hopkins University lists

these "fundamental reasons
why standards in the modem
American system of mass
education are extremely difficult to maintain":
1. People have talents as
diverse as their personalities,
and great numbers of them
cannot be educated to the
same level. "For the sake of
being able to pretend that all
young people are equal not
only under God and under law
but also in talent, the American society may permit very
low average standards in mass
education."
2. One can be educated in
many of the refinements of
civilization without being skilled for specialized employment
and - more important - the
reverse is true. As the society
became technologically much
more sophisiticated the emphasis on development of vocational skills has become more
pronounced in school curriculums. At the same time,
standards of general education
were allowed to erode.
3. Mass education cannot
assume mass motivation.
"Lack of motivation may well
be the most serious ill besetting the public school system.
The only cure is revived
recognition that learning cannot be forced on the unmotivated or hostile, that instruc-

tors generally are not trained
to instill motivation, that the
entertainment potential of the
instructional process is limited, and that discipline must be
restored."
4. Confusion between the
right of access to education
and the right "to education."
"It is not possible to combine
meaningful standards of academic achievement with nofault concepts of education,
under which students are held
individually blameless if they
fail to acquire an education
while attending an educational
institution even though they
make no effort to learn and are
incapable of functioning above
a low level of intellectual
competence."
5. The availability of a
sufficient number of excellent
teachers has always been a
perennial problem for the
public schools.
Muller concludes by
emphasizing the importance of
an educated and skilled citizenry in a society where
popular participation has become virtually all-inclusive.
"Even the most critical assessment of declining standards
represents no argument
against the American experiment of unlimited educational
opportunity for all the people," he emphasizes.

"There was not at any time,
nor is there any suspicion of
foul play" Wetzler said. He
also noted that there was no
trace of barbituates, amphetimines, alcohol, or any other
type of drugs present in the
body.
Although the mode of death
has been listed as undetermined, suicide has been ruled
out.

The Aquafins have been an
organization that has existed
at LHSC for over 20 years, and
is comprised of 40 members
with Miss Nan E. Woods as
the advisor. The Aquafins
perform synchronized swimming, which is an exhibition
where one or more swimmers
are synchronized with musical
arrangements to form changing patterns in the manner of
dancing.
The highlight of the performance will be a grand finale
which will be centered around
the Christmas Holidays, and
will include the use of props
and black lights.
The Aquafins plan to organize a competitive team that

will consist of eight members
and will compete against other
synchronized swimming
teams. Each performance will
be judged, and points will be
awarded accordingly.
Officers for the 1974-75
Aquafins are: Cheryl Harman,

President and Student Director; Becky Elliott, Vice President; Holly Lerengood, Secretary; and Karen Lonsberry,
Treasurer. The Aquafins
spring production is scheduled
for Parents Weekend, May 1
