Konick accepts new post

By KEITH VERNON
Staff Reporter
Dr. Marcus Konick has been
promoted to Associate Dean of
Arts and Science at Lock
Haven State College, effective
September 1. Dr. Konick will
also carry the title and responsibilities of Director of Academic Services. When asked
how he felt about the promotion Dr. Konick responded,
"It's a very exciting opportunity. I look on it as a way of
expanding opportunities in the
arts and sciences as well as
giving increased validity to the
foreign education program."
Dr. Konick will continue to
serve as Director of International Education and said that
the quality of students being
sent to Nottingham this semester is "very fine." According to Dr. Konick the students
were carefully selected in
terms of their academic ability
and level of maturity. In
addition to the students being
sent to Nottingham this semester eight studentsft'omLHS
will be going to Poland on the
Polish Exchange Program.
When questioned as to why
there will be no English
exchange students coming to
LHS this year Dr. Konick cited
a number of reasons. According to Dr. Konick Nottingham
has had a change in curricu'
lum, fi:om certificate to a
baccalaureate and there is now
a rule which prohibits students
from leaving the college for
more than four weeks at a
time. Another reason that
English students will not be
attending LHS this year is that
the value of the English pound
in America has declined so
much that it would be extremely expensive for them to
come here to study.
Dr. Konick is currently
working on publicity for the
new general studies program,

revising the arts and science
brochure and beginning to
plan the building of a sculpture garden to be located

behind the John Sloan Finfr
Arts Center. Dr. Konick is
welcoming any student sugcont. on page 4

Benkert leads
campus voter
registration
By JACKSOHNLEITNER
Staff Reporter
In June the General Assembly passed the postcard voter
registration bill which allows
previously unregistered students to register by mail. Paul
Benkert, SCC Vice President
here at Lock Haven State had
much to do with working to get
the bill implemented.
Benkert spent his summer
doing an internship with the
Commonwealth Association of
Students better known as
CAS. CAS is an organization
made up the 14 state owned
colleges in Pennsylvania and is
headed by Executive Director
Eugene Carroll, a LHS graduate. By joint effort these two
men submitted a proposal
which showed how the CAS
committees on each campus
would go about notifying unregistered student voters of

Political novice speaks on convention
By JOHN FARR
Staff Reporter
Professor George Hayfield,
of the Geology Department,
opened the Faculty Lecture
Series Wednesday evening as
he discussed his role a» a
delegate to the Democratic
National Convention.
A first time delegate to the
convention, Hayfield described himself as a "political
novice." He then talked about
how the number of delegates
alloted to each state is determined. Half the delegates that
each state is allowed to send to
the convention is based on the
population of the state and the
other half is based on how a
state has performed in the last
three presidential elections.
Dicussing pre;sidential candidate and governor of
Oeorgia Jimmy Carter, Hay-

field stated "Jimmy has big
following in this area." He
continued that the Carter
forces were very effective at
the convention. Hayfield stated that he personally supported all of Carter's positions
with the exception of one.
On the issue of equal
women's representation at the
1980 convention the Carter
forces handled the situation
"diplomatically," commented
Hayfield. He added, that the
Carter people appeased the
women's rights leaders.
Reflecting on the convention, Hayfield said "he'd like
to go again." However, he felt
the convention had too many
"mob movements" and that
there was "too much going
with the crowd."
Speaking about New York

City, Hayfield said that "the
city went all out for the
convention." Security was
very tight at Madison Square
Garden where the convention
was held. "One day," said
Hayfield, "I think I counted
seven different security
checks."
Pennsylvania was allotted
75 guest passes to be distributed to the delegates to give to
those people who wished to
see the convention from the
spectator's stands. The head
of the delegation. Governor
Shapp, managed to secure 40
of the 75 guest passes for
himself much to the dismay of
the rest of the delegation.
Over all Hayfield felt "there
were too many speeches" and
that "not many of the speeches were listened to."

Standing in lines and then
more lines, seeing old friends,
making new friends, paying
outrageous prices for books
and lastly checking ou the new
freshmen are all signs that
we're back at the Haven and
things haven't changed.
Before everyone falls in to
the humdrum routine of classes and partying, take a look
around campus and more
importantly take a look at your
fellow students.
Lock Haven is growing and
improving in all areas all the
time. Last year was in some
ways the best year the college
ever experienced, but in
others it was one of the most
tragic.
Reflecting back upon last
year one can remember an
unusually large number of
appalling incidents that took
place here at Lock Haven.
Many students suffered
from loneliness and despair.
Useless violence was committed against both property
and people. Students unable to
cope with their problems directed their violence not only
upon others but in some cases
upon themselves. It was like a
disease spreading a verminous
infection to all areas of the
college.
Why didn't people reach out
to help their Mends? At least
we should have taken the time
to show these people that we
cared or directed them to a
place where they could receive
help.
We are a community. We

know has a problem but won't
talk to you; refer him or her to
one of the organizations on
campus that can help. Don't
sit back and let someone keep
everything inside nem until
it's too late and they do
something harmful.
There are many places and
people on campus who both
want to help and are qualified
to do so.
This is a new semester, a
time to begin fresh. The year
will bring hundreds of changes
and improvements to Lock
Haven, but of what use are
those changes if everyone
steps back into their own worid
and refuses to get involved
with one another. Take a good
look around you and be willing
to go out of your way to make
someone else's life better.

the 1976-77 Season of Art

Gaude Kipnis has been hailed
by the New York Press as a
"giant in contemporary

United States in 1966 for a
nine week engagement at New
York's Theatre de Lys, since
then he and his company have
completed a number of consecutive national tours which
recently included an appearance at the White House for
President Ford. Mr. Kipnis
and his company have appeared with symphony orchestras
throughout the country, with
Mr. Kipnis being requested to

Parker coaches LHS soccer Women's
eyes unbeaten
By RANDY BEHNEY
Staff Reporter
This year the Lock Haven
State soccer team is under the
direction of a new head coach.
Coach Mike Parker has taken
over the position left vacant by
the resignation of Mr. Herrmann, whom he was an
assistant under for the last
four years.
Parker has been in the
United States for only five
years. He earned his bachelors
degree in physical education in
England and his masters degree from the University of
North Carolina. While in England, he played professional
soccer for Hull City on a full
time basis for one year. He
also played soccer on a part
time basis for four years.
Parker is very happy and
pleased about his new position. He hopes to improve the
already high standard of soccer at LHS. He will be assisted
this year by Lenny Long, a
graduate of LHS. The jayvee
squad will be handled by
Sandy Bush and Leo Barrett.
Parker feels the team will be
very strong again this year.
Mark Sildve will be starting
again at fullback, even though
he will be handicapped by a
shoulder injury. Jon Conner
will also be returning to start
again at the halfback position.
Roger Bernecker has been
movedfi-omcenter forward to
center half. Parker feels with
Conner and Bemecker the
team has a great deal of speed
at midfield.
Billy Bush, who has been
hampered by injuries in past
years will start on the line.
Randy May and Larry Jones,
who Parker feels have greatly
improved, will be starting at
fullback and right wing, respectively. Dean Wilson has
been moved from the line to a
starting fullback position.
Freshman Brent Buckner will
start at center forward. Tom
Dodds, another freshman, will
also start at halfback. Bert
Gottbrecht, who Parker feels is
one of the best freshman he
has seen, will start at fullback.
Tom Fitzwater will be in the
goal. Mike McCartney, who
started the last two years, will
be out for two to three weeks
with an ankle injury. Other

returnees include Keith Bradburd, Abe Stauffer, Angelo
Zaialas, and Dave Pistritto.
Last Thursday the LHS
soccer team played LaSalle
College, winning by the score
of 3-1. Coach Parker was
impressed with the improvement of the team. Four days
before the team lost to Bucknell 2-0. He feels the team has
very good speed and great
abilitv to move the ball. The

team is also well conditioned,
which showed very much in
the second half against LaSalle.
On Tuesday, Sept. 7 the
soccer team will take on the
University of Scranton at 4:00
pm on McCollum Field. On
Friday, Sept. 10 at 7:00 pm
LHS plays Penn State on
Jeffrey Field at University
Park.

fall season
By JOHN SNYDER
Staff Reporter
This year's women's tennis
team promises to be a possibly
unbeatable powerhouse.
Coach Mary Breid reveals that
this is the strongest team she's
had since coaching here (4
years) and that "The depth is
tremendous." Playing number
one singles for LHS is senior
Deb Stopper of Williamsport.
A returning letterman. Deb
should provide the strength at
that position she has demonstrated in the past. Cindy
Stopper, her sister, is number
two and returns with a phenomenal 20-1 record in intercollegiate play with the first 16
straight. Her lone loss was at
the hands of Penn State in
which she dropped a threesetter.
Together these sisters are
the top doubles team and are
ranked fourth in the middle
states and third in the east.
Cindy is a junior and the duo
could very well account for
triple victories in many
iiiatches. Also returning is

Williamsport who will also

Coach will emphasize conditioning
By DOUG GREITZ
Staff Reporter
Dr. Bill Connor, the heir
apparent and successor to Bob
Weller as head coach of the
Lock Haven State College Bald
Eagle football team has a
definite philosophy on the
game. According to the Bald
Eagle mentor, given two
equally talented squads the
one with the best organization
and conditioning will win.
Exemplified by this, in his
nine year stint with Rippon
College, Wisconsin, seven as
defensive coordinator and two
as head coach of the Midwest
Conference Club his team«^
have been successful and he
claims his habitual mode of
success won't stop now.
With a good nucleus of
players, including some experienced lettermen coming back,
and w^th the wealth of new

freshmen talent, the coach
sees no reason why his team
can't play with competitiveness throughout the season.
Many positions, however,
are up for grabs so the arduous
and time consuming job of
sorting personnel and objective evaluations continue up
until the time the Bald Eagles
take to the gridiron for the first
game of the season against
Lycoming on Saturday, September 11.
Dr. Connor, aside from the
fact that he has brought in a
new system to be learned, has
done much in the way of
teaching fundamentals, which,
when learned serve as the
basis for a solid ballclub.
When stressing the factors,
"conditioning, continuity, and
conditioning," the coach made
the point that mental mistakes
(like blown coverage on pass
plays) will be avoided or kept

to a minimum. Tired football
teams make mental errors, but
proper organization and conditioning is the key to a
successful team. Connor, although having depth on the
team, won't allow any team to
wear down the Eagles physically, it appears.
The emphasis will be on ball
control this year with a multiple offense utilizing the triple
option. The attack will be
spearheaded in the backfield
by junior quarterback Steve
DeLisle and senior Bill King
with a half a dozen freshmen
QB waiting in the wings.
Sophomore Charlie Lucas, who
moved defensive people out of
the way last year in leading the
Bald Eagle rushers, was
moved to tailback with junior
Dan Crowley filling Lucas's
fullback slot. This gives an
indication of Lucas' speed for a

The defense, however,
which left something to be
desired last season has hopefully matured, and coupled
with the experience of additional talent (depth) should
solidify the defensive unit.
Continuity plays a role in
getting the defense to operate
as a machine, with an improved pass rush and secondary
coverage Connor claims.
Dr. Connor has a professional attitude and whether he can
impart this attitude upon his
team remains to be seen.
Connor admits it will take time

Benkert along with Joe

to get unregistered Lock

hopefully begin in two weeks
or whenever the forms arrive.
Coordinators of the drive plan
to distribute the forms door to

registered will get the chance
to do so. Benkert says they will
even wait for students to
