Head Start Begins
Third Year at LH
by Susie Meiser
Any Lock Haven student interested in working with children
should investigate the head start
program, now beginning its third
year in the Lock Haven area
elementary s c h o o l s . Head start,
a government sponsored program,
was instituted to provide school
experience for children of prekindergarten a g e . It is located
in the Penn School in Lock
Haven, and in the Orviston and
Flemington elementt.ry s c h o o l s ,
and involves 80 children from
Orviston, Monument, BlanchardLockport, Woolrich, C a s t e n e a ,
and the city of Lock Haven.
Various student groups have
participated in the head start
program on a v.oluntary b a s i s .
As a community service project,
brothers of Phi Mu Delta Fraternity a c t e d a s teacher aides in
the c l a s s r o o m s , and pledges of
the fraternity constructed and
installed s h e l v e s and cleaned up

the school grounds. Members of
an early childhood education
c l a s s have observed and partici
pated in head start, and several
interested students have volun
teered their s e r v i c e s to the program. Also, during the 1968-69
school year, the German club
was very active in a s s i s t i n g the
t e a c h e r s of head s t a r t , and
various other groups gave holiday
parties for the children.
T h i s year, head start is planning several projects in which
students could become involved.
A book drive is presently underway — students who wish t o may
contribite used children's books
to the program. A l s o , the preparation of any materials used
in teaching would be useful to
the program. Anyone interested
in participating in or contributing
to t h e head start program should
contact Mrs. John McGowan at

WUS Aids Many Countries
Representative Visits Campus
Olga
Vorloou, a
traveling
representative of the World University Service, visited the campus yesterday to s p e a k to students and administration members concerning aid from the

Geneva.
An apolitical group,
WUS offers help to any country

funds contributed go to the support of the administrative branch
of the organization.
The purpose of WUS is to promote higher education on the
college and university level in
underdeveloped countries.
Proj e c t s are financed in thirty-two
countries in Latin America, Asia
and Africa. The four main proj e c t a r e a s are lodging and living,
student health, educational a c tivities and facilities (equipment)

and individual and emergency
aid
(direct scholarships and
natural d i s a s t e r s ) . The projects
can extend to the surrounding
communities a s well a s the
specific u n i v e r s i t i e s .
This is
the only organization currently
a i d i n g the Biafran s t u d e n t s .
T h e committee representing the
U.S. c o n s i s t s of twenty member.s.

EE Reporter Describes Impression of Drug Situation in Philly
by J o e S c o t t
Editor's note: Familiar with the
Philadelphia
area, Mr. Scott has
described
his impression of the
drug situation in certain parts of
the city.
Eagle f^ye would welcome other viewpoints and ideas
from students
who are familiar
with various parts of the state ot
country.
Please submit
articles
to the Publications Office in the
PUB or call 748-5531 for information.
The Art Museum in Philadelphia used to be a beautiful
place for young people in love
to go after dark. There
many
fountains, shrubbery and lands c a p i n g abound, and there's
an old wooden gazebo for romantic mocinlit kissing. The park
guards even left you alone.
A small slice of beauty out of
the reality of the city.
The
Art Museum
is now
patrolled by police cars and the
two-man teams are armed with
tear gas and billy c l u b s . The
tree-lined
walks
echo
with
resounding
voices;
BS/\.
Harley-Davidson...Honda.
The
fountains are ringed with bellbottomed teenyboppers, muttering obcenities to passers-by.
"Shock treatment", they call
it. Most are high on grass or
acid, and dive into the bushes

when
the patrol drives by.
They
resent their
intrusion,
their authority, their a d u l t n e s s .
They look for a way to rebel
even more. The gazebo isn't a
nice
place
to go anymore.
Some local poet h a s etched
"Skrew y o u " into the railing.

Ball is Rolling
For these kids, the ball h a s
started rolling. But it is not only
the city-dwelling part of our
generation that appears to be
downgrading the image of youth.
The explosion which occurred
in the early s i x t i e s — the drugs,
the sexual freedom, the resentment of authority. — h a s now
spread fallout to the suburbs.
In Philly, Police Commissioner Rizzo recently stripped his
a c t i v e detective force to almost
nothing, put these men into
uniforms, and strongly emphasized the need for a better law
enfjrcuig
team. No more sneak
a t t a c k s on grass parties in
Rittenhouse Square'.' Are the
police becoming lenient with
the kids'.' No, I think the move
was
made tci i n c r ; a s e the
mobility of the big city police
department so as to better cover
the suburbs. It seems that the
a c c e s s i b i l i t y of illegal vegetables
and mind
expanding
confections is far greater now

in the outlying districts of
large metropolitan a r e a s . The
procurers ot such giiodies have
learned the real market for their
wares is in suburbia. The kids
there have the money.
"Don't Be R i d i c u l o u s "
If you approached a suburbar
mother of a teenaged girl and
asked if s h e suspected her
daughter of smoking marihuana,
you would probably get an answer like, " D o n ' t be ridiculous...
where would s h e get a thing like
t h a t ? " The s a d fact i s , s h e can
get a thing like that, as easily
as she can get liquor.
The
candyman is ever present in the
suburbs; some of them own
homes,drive six-cylinder Chevys,
and don't let their hair grow
long. The traffic in drugs h a s '
moved to the suburbs along with
the traffic j a m s . Some exclusive
areas of suburban New York are
so thoroughly covered with pushers that an unsuspecting teenager may be severely "reprimanded" for buying from the
wrong s a l e s m a n . These s a l e s men are present at parties (sometimes welcome
gatecrashers),
large shopping malls, .•chool
d a n c e s , and anywhi-re leenagers
congregate — even cluircli youth
groups.

The danger of using hallucinogenic drugs and marihuana is
not inherent in the drug itself.
This h a s been medically proven.
LSD and marihuana are not
physiologically
habit-forming.
But what is frightening is the
fact that connections can be
made by very young people to
buy these commodities, and to
the curious teenager, addiction
to hard drugs is j u s t a few dollars away.
The s: jarch for a
bigger and better high is neverending with these children, and
the pushers know this. This is
how they make their living.
The
teenagers worry little
about being caught by the police
(a conservative guess is one in
thirty is ever busted) or even
their parents. Mom and Dad are
apathetic
in their
attitudes
toward their children, and seem
to accept well enough the excuse that their little girl is just
doing her thing. (Why, I remember. Mother, when I was a teenager, 1 had my own hip flask
filled with Rye.
We weren't
trying to be bad — it was just
our way of raising a little h e l l . )

.Speed Kills
Narcotics are bad.
kills.
Habit-forming

Speed
drugs

breed lawlessness of the worst
possible kind - d i s r e s p e c t for
other's rights. Through the use
of marihuana and LSD, the teenager is given a credit card for
the u s e of drugs that will bring
about h i s own self-destruction,
and he will probably bring others
down with him. What's the harm
in a little p o f It isn't the use
of it, i t ' s the buying of i t . Who?
Where? The economic slogan of
the s t r e e t s h a s changed from " I
can gel it for you w h o l e s a l e " to
' T can get it for you.'"

Repeating History
In a medieval history c l a s s at
at San Jose State College, a
young man w a s called upon to
give the year of the signing of
the Peace of Westphalia, which
ended the Thirty Years War.
After a wait of several s e c o n d s ,
the student came up with a timid
"1648?"
" T h a t is c o r r e c t , "
replied the professor. " B u t just
before you answered 1 distinctly
heard that date whispered a loud."
" 1 s u p p o s e , s i r , " retorted the
unabashed student, " t h a t it was
just another instance of history
repeating itself."
