American Poet Michael S. Harper KDR and TKE Agree To Pay For Damages By HARRY CRAMER KDR and TKE have agreed to pay for the damages they caused at Sieg conference center when a fight involving 10 or 15 brothers broke out.

Dean Rhodes and Brian Van Deun were present in an advisory capacity. Ginny Roth, president of the All Greek Council, said of the fight, "It negated a lot of the good things we've done.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1938, he grew up with jazz and the blues-Billie Holiday played the piano in his home when he was twelve. Later, the family moved to Los Angeles and he played collegiate and professional football under an assumed name. He earned degrees from The University of Iowa and Los Angeles State College and has taught at various schools around the country, including Lewis and Clark, Reed, and, since 1970, Brown University. For his poetry he has received awards from the Black Academy of Arts and Letters as well as the American A c a d e m y / N a tional Institute of Arts and Letters. His first book, "Dear John, Dear Coltrane", was nominated Night Riders Beware; Security To Levy Fines By PAM YOBLONSKI Students with bicyclesbeware! Security has issued a warning, stating that a student found riding a bike in the dark that doesn't have the proper reflectors and lights, will be paying $20 if he or she is caught. In the past, security gave warnings to people who violated this rule. Now, because of pressure from the Lock Haven Police, this law will be enforced. The Lock Haven Police have already fined two people, which shows they are serious. Section 3507 of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code states that every pedacycle needs a front lamp which emits a white light visible up to 500 feet...Also necessary is a red reflector on the rear of the bicycle which should be visible from 100-600feet., and amber reflectors on each side of the wheels visible up to 500 ft. The price for not having this equipment is a SIO fine and $10 cost, which is the court cost. These regulations serve a purpose--to help prevent night accidents between motorists and bicyclists they couldn't see. Students, check your bikes; many come already equipped with the necessary reflectors. But if your bike doesn't have them, get them. Food Fight Wrecks Cafe; Students Pay For " F u n " By DEBI LUHR Sunday evening at dinner there was a food fight in the cafeteria involving mostly the brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha and Sigma Pi. The excitement of the day exploded with the bombing of rolls and other food. Dr. Bryan Van Deum, Assistant Dean of Students said it was a "deplorable situation". "People don't stop to think what might have happened." Someone could have gotten seriously hurt by slipping on the food. Although the event was awful, the aftermath has been good. The fraternities involved agreed to pay for damages. AXA and EP also took the responsibility of cleaning up. Van Deun said students have a misconception about cleaning up the cafeteria. Food service is not paid to clean up the trays left on the tables. Money that should be spent on food is spent paying people to clean up the trays left everyday throughout the cafeteria. for a National Book Award in 1971, and his selected poems, "Images of Kin" appeared in 1974. Besides the Monday night reading. Harper will visit three class sessions on Tuesday. At 10:00 a.m. he will descuss 'Black American Poetry" in Raub Hall 106. Then at 11:00 he will read and discuss his own poems in Raub 308. After lunch with members of the student body, he will conduct a meeting of the Poetry Workshop in Akeley 212. All events, reading and class sessions, are free and open to the public. Harper's visit is being sponsored jointly by the Human Relations Committee and the English Club. SCC Budget Passed By SUE MA YERS The new budget was passed for the 1980-81 school year, last Wednesday evening. The budget raised the student activity fee from $45 semester to $50 semester and the faculty activity fee was raised from $6.25 semester to $17.50 semester. The student activity fee hadnot been increased for three years. President Gerald Getz stated that he did not want the increase but it was necessary, because of inflation. The surveys handed out before spring break, were a great factor in the decision of the Budget Committee. The budget goes along with approximately 90 percent of the student body surveys. The ereatest budget in- crease went to the Athletes. The Athletes needed more money because of traveling expenses. But according to Getz, in the near future there may be a cut in the number of varsity sports. If some of the varsity sports get cut they will StiU exist as clubs. No activity got a budget cut. Although many of them did not get an increase. The amount given to small clubs was increased. They do not submit a budget, but itemize and send the bills to the Budget Committee. The films also received an increase. The Social Committee, Executive Committee and the PPCEB got a budget cut because they were over budgeted. This was done to put the money where it could be better used.

RtlMENSNYDER 6nGL6 eve Friday, April 25, 1980 poge 2 Preview fiuthor of "Heiter Skelter' Preview Spring Concert Sloted By HAROLD ANDREWS This Wednesday, April 30, the SCC Cultural Affairs Committee will present a special guest lecture by VINCENT BUGLIOSI in Price Auditorium. Mr. BUGLIOSI is best known as the prosecuting attorney responsible for putting mass murderer Charles Manson and his "family" behind bars. The lecture, which begins at 8:00 p.m. is free of charge and has been paid for with monies from your activity fee. Among America's best prosecuting attorneys • (he had a 99 percent conviction rate going into the Manson trial), VINCENT BUGLIOSI has become one of our nation's most requested speakers because of what he says, and how he says it. He discusses the Manson case, revealing the fascinating details about the "family", their philosophies, and how some people came to believe Charles Manson was Jesus Christ. His book about the case, "Heiter Skelter", was on the best-seller list for a year, and was made into a toprated T.V. movie. Mr. BUGLIOSI also addresses the frightening spread of cultism, the dangers of the cult phenomenon, and what can be done. He attempts to show how cult leaders control and program their followers into armies of zombies. How, even in jail, Charles Manson could reach out to his followers and command them to carry out his bidding. He warns that Mansonesque cultism is far from dead, as the murders and suicides in Guyana well illustrate. An evening spent with VINCENT BUGLIOSI promises to be absolutely fascinating, and may be frightening as well. You may want to bring a friend! Lecture time is 8:00 p.m., April 30, in Price Auditorium.

Photo By Mark Perugino Review By SAUNDRA THOMPKINS On Tuesday, April 22, the internationally known Arthur Hall Dance Ensemble performed in Price Auditorium at 8 p.m. Earlier that day a workshop was held by the group in which different dance techniques were demonstrated and tried by students. The performance that evening was an energetic and inspiring show which demonstrated the ensemble's abilities in dance and choreography. The hour long show featured the African influence in all of todays dancing and singing. It went from the earliest tribla dances to dancing during slave times.
