This will be a chance to get a Uft with some really good legitimate theatre. This, the 16th Touring Company of National Players, will present Richard Bauer in the title role and Halo Wines as Ophelia. National Players was incorporated In 1949 as a Classical repertory company. Their first national tour of three months presented "Much Ado About Nothing" which met with overwhelming success. During the following years the company has p r e s e n t e d : "Arms And the Man;" "Macbeth;" "Twelfth Night;" "Love's Labor Lost;" "Othello;" "JuMus Ceasar;" "King Lear;" "Charley's Aunt;" 'Oedipus Rex;" 'A Midsummer Night's Dream;" and in 1964 Players performed at the White House (The Taming of the Shrew) at the i n v i t a t i o n of President and Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson. Tickets are available at the book store. ~ -— Their Appreciation 1 h e F r e s i d e n t o p e a k s Be it resolved that we, the members of the Pennsylvania Collegiate Bandmasters Association express our grateful appreciation t o John Schwarz, Jr., Host, Walter Beeler, Guest Conductor, and to Dr. Richard T .

The reason for the closing has to do with the recent missue and destruction of student property which has taken place after the snack bar is closed. It should be pointed out that neither the student nor college administration feel that the students of LHSC are solely responsible for the unwarranted destruction of the u n i o n . The administration believes the students of LH SC to be responsible adults incapable of knifing the padding of the booths or jumping upon the tables until they break. On occasion, outsiders, persons not registered as students of LHSC, have been observed in the union after hours. On such occasions, the union which is cleaned every night at 10:00 p.m., has been found to be a shambles in the morning with such refuse as beer cans and b o t t l e s under tables.

Do you think that you could take a minute to see one of these spring events? Concerning other campus activities, w h e r e were you for Spring week-end? Here was an entirely free week-end and a very nice affair. Couldn't you have rescheduled some of your private parties for a later date? We can't tell you to do so. We can't tell you what to do or when to do it; but when you criticize your student government, remember that your government can only be as strong as you want to make it. The Eagle Wing has not been closed to punish for the destruction of property, but to protect the students' investments. This unnecessary $400 in repairs cannot be afforded by the SCC letalone any more for tables, walls, or equipment which may be destroyed in the future. DEAN'S LIST RELEASED by J O N MASOOD As newly installed President of the S t u d e n t Co-operative Council, your student government, I would like to take this opportunity to speak to you through our college newspaper. Shortly after the election results were published, I began to reahze the tremendous responsibility which I was being given. You have placed in my hands a great challenge — to lead our democratically governed student council and to represent our student body in all campus and associated activities. Now, s e v e r a l weeks since those election results were first published, I have found that the student body lacks a great deal. Perhaps, I am out of place, but I think that the students of our school are lackadaisical and just Incapable of caring about much of anything. I was elected and I accepted a responsibility. Can you or would you accept any responsibility If you were asked? I doubt it! Our student publications are In need of manpower; we had one pep rally this year (for the football team) which lacked suitable attendance. The students of this campus do not attend events even when fellow students are participating. How many of you have ever seen a soccer game, a basketball game or swimming meet? We do but, oddly enough, with the new but, oddly enough, with the new student union. Few students are student Few students are aware ofunion. the fact that the state is paying only for the Student Union Building. Every piece of furniture and equipment has to be purchased by the SCC with student funds. As can be expected, the SCC is cutting every corner to save money for the union. Now it appears that the SCC must buy fifty new chairs for the old union. This constitutes about $400 of student money which will now be spent on repairing the damage done to the union. This $400 was never set aside because these repairs were u n f o r s e e n . This means that $400 must be taken from the new union to make repairs, that should not have been necessary, to the old. The representatives t o t h e SCC try to formulate student policy. It isn't too difficult for you to ask any one of these people If there Is anything you can do to help. You don't ask, though you are perfectly willing to complain w h e n something doesn't go just right. I think we have all taken a great deal for granted. I think that it is about time for us "to psyche up and do a job!" We can do much together with a united effort. Turn out and pitch In. Let us all strive for better r e l a t i o n s .

Recently, two members of the club, Peggy Underkoffler and Carol Hertzog, along with the Newman Club's chaplin. Father Joseph Weidman, visited the Newman Center at Indiana State College. Here they attended one of that club's meetings and heard guest s p e a k e r Father Conan Gallagher, chaplin of the Middle Atlantic Providence of Newman Clubs, speak on the coming Middle Atlantic Providence Conference. Fr. Gallagher announced that the theme of this year's c o n f e r e n c e is "Christianity in Transition." Developing and understanding of current tides of change within the Catholic Church will be the main object of the conference. Plans are now being made for some of our members to attend and possibly accompany the Indiana chapter to this conference. It is scheduled for April 23-2J at the U n i v e r s i t y of Maryland. TAU KAPPA EPSILON The fraters of Tau Kappa Epsilon are extremely p r o u d of fraters Swope and Blackburn on their N.A.I.A. wrestUng titles and also on their fine showing in the N.C.A.A. tournament. Plans are now underway for the T.K.E. carnation Ball to be held at the C l i n t o n County Country Club on April 24th. It promises to be another weekend to top all for the Tekes. Now that Spring is on the w a y we are anticipating o u r weekly raft expeditions which once again will be led by those "great Teke o u t d o o r s m e n , " "Pert," "Joey Javelin," and our assistant housemother, "Tussey." The only m i n o r problem last year was that the rafts wouldn't hold air, but t h i s y e a r our "learners" have everything under control — wooden rafts. Skip Fennell, our pledge trainer is doing a fine job with our Spring pledges. Their ability to work together is a good sign that the Theta Gamma chapter of T.K.E. will remain on top. In keeping with the spirit of Lent, the club members have also been attending Mass as a group every Wednesday evening at 7:00 to observe the holy season. A pancake and sausage breakfast is the next project being planned. With the aid of the Catholic Daughters of America of the Immacuate Conception parish, Newman members will serve the breakfast to be open to the public and held April 25 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Sunday. At the next meeting on April 12, nominations will be made for the club's officers for next year. Also at this time, chairmen will be considered for several standing committees which will be organized. ALPHI PHI OMEGA Alpha Phi Omega has b e e n very busy lately.

D u r i n g this time, any problems with studies or schedules are to be corrected. Many of the students do not feel that they are receiving all of this sytem. Many of the advisors are never in their offices at the scheduled time although they have 1:00 p.m. posted as office hours. If a student does manage to encounter his advisor in person, the "advisor" doesn't seem very well informed a b o u t required courses, credits, quality points, etc. The student is then shuffled along to different department heads and deans. Needless to say, these people are even harder to contact than the advisors and much time is wasted. Fall registration will be starting soon and these problems will be more evident. The advisory hour is a basically good system. It can be a better system if the advisors were in their offices at 1:00 p.m. and were better informed. Isn't there some way to have the necessary information that should be accessible to the students in the easy reach of the advisors ? Sincerely, A Frustrated Student Dear Editor, Today I witnessed a situation which is a discredit to the faculty and the administration of this Institution. When a faculty member has no respect for the rights and duties of a student, how, in turn, can the student have any respect for that professor? The parking committee of this college is for all who violate the parking regulations — the faculty and the students. It seems ironical that when the faculty members have specific parking spaces marked with names that they should choose to park in totally restricted areas. The e p i t o m e of vulgarity comes when the Professor uses s t e r e o t y p e d "gang school" phrases Hke "Hey Punk" to repremand a student for doing his proper job.

Page 3 THE EAGLE EYE PEACE CORPS NEWS A Story of Opposites: Bias & the Peace Corps Peace Corpi Director Sorgent Shriver talki with the Ipie President Kennedy shortly before the President addressed a group of outgoing Volunteers. Can One Sargent Be Two Lieutenants? The Peace Corps, like any fouryear-old, suffers from growing pains. "I wouldn't say its image is tarnished, but the luster has dulled a little," said one Peace Corps official. "Other people have done it and the 'me alone' feeling is missing." Age has brought the Peace Corps the additional problem of trying to become an institution with a sense of permanence, while keeping its youthful spirit and idealism intact. "I have contemplated the problem gnrowth could brmg to the Peace HHH Heads PC Council; Meeting Set One of the first official acts of Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey as new chairman of the Peace Corps Advisory Council was to call a conference of returned Volunteers. The conference, scheduled for March 5-7, was suggested by President Lyndon Johnson. Johnson turned the responsibility of the chairmanship over to Humphrey Jan. 26. The President also suggested the new chairman point out the opportunity returnees have for further service bv working with the many foreign students in the United States today. Johnson termed the assignment an especially appropriate one for Humphrey. He noted Humphrey's vision in seeing the future of the Peace Corps while a Senate member and offering legislation to embody it. Humphrey told the Peace Corps News that "the Peace Corps has been a living monument to the idealism, skill, and devotion of American youth, and serves as an example of humanitarianism for all the world. "But we cannot be content with even this fine record. There is much that still needs to be done. The demand for Peace Corps Volunteers is so great throughout the world that last year we could only fill about two-thirds of the requests that were received. "To any college graduate looking for a chance to broaden his life and enrich his experience I can offer no higher recommendation than working for the Peace Corps. "He will find not only excitement and challenge, but above all have the opportunity to serve his fellow man," The Peace Corps, in its four years of existence, has emphasized repeatedly that racial and religious bias are not tolerated in its selection process. The Peace Corps rejects bias. But bias has not been so kind to the Peace Corps. A major problem in the civil rights movement today is finding skilled and well-educated Negroes to fill jobs now open to them either through reforms generated by the civil rights bill or the increased readiness of employers to hire them. The problem admits to no simple solution, for an individual coming from a "culturally deprived" environment, who receives sub-standard schooling, doesn't necessarily "make the grade" even if he is given the chance. The issue, not so much racial as socio-economic, is a very real concern for rights leaders. It is also of concern to the Peace Corps. The trouble centers in both Peace Corps recruitment and selection. "A lot of Negroes just aren't sure that the Peace Corps wants them," states Bob Gale, director of recruiting. "The sign says 'join,' but Negroes think 'they don't mean me.' It's been that way so many times -that some Negroes don't even bother any more." Sargent Shriver, director of the Peace Corps, said: "We haven't waited for colored citizens to seek jobs in the Peace Corps. We went out and looked for them. "We have sent white men into black men's countries and black men to white men's countries and not once has this policy caused us a single moment of discontent or created a single incident." Gale pointed out that letters have been sent to the presidents of Negro colleges asking for the names of top students, who were subsequently contacted by Peace Corps representatives. A "special saturation effort" is conducted at Negro campuses to get a larger representation in the Peace Corps. "The job of the Peace Corps is not civil rights," one official points out. "We have our own job to do. But we'll do anything we can to help qualified Negroes get into tlie Peace Corps." Thus the articles in Negro publications, photos of Negroes in Peace Corps advertising literature, Negroes placed on as many recruiting teams as possible. Yet the percentage of Negroes serving as Volunteers overseas remains low. Although Negro representation as staff members in Washington and overseas is high (about 26 per cent), Negro Volunteers abroad constitute only about 5 to 6 per cent of the total, based on unofficial estimates. The nationwide percentage of Negroes is about 11 per cent. One problem manifests itself in concern over the "image." George Carter, director of the North Africa, Near East and South Asia projects, and a Negro himself, said: "There is probably no project in the world without a Negro connected to it in some way, either as a staff member or a Volunteer. Corps," said Warren Wiggins, associate director for Program Development and Operations. "Presi dent Johnson has said he thought we should have some 20,000 Volunteers in the next three or four years. "I feel we can have this number and still retain the highly indi vidual character of the agency," Wiggins said. Another problem is that Sargent Shriver now serves the dual role of directing the Peace Corps and the War on Poverty. "Shriver still makes all the -policy decisions and keeps his personal touch on the agency," said an official. "The main loss is in the time it takes to get decisions made. Things can get bogged down in the meanwhile." Another official compared Shriver's dual position with that of the Secretary of State or Defense. These men have one title but many jobs. One could consider a man with Shriver's abilities to have been under-employed before his present load. Shriver serves as a reminder of President John Kennedy and personifies the idealism of the Peace Corps "type." President Kennedy had generated a particular type of spirit and sense of living dynamic. This esprit de corps captured the minds of many young Americans. Because President Kennedy originated the Peace Corps and because of his youthfulness, there was a unique identification. The most recent growing pain has come- from within the Peace Corps itself. A Peace Corps program director in Bolivia, Jasin Edwards, has complained of the "blandness" of today's Volunteers. "The bland Volunteer is one who doesn't cause trouble, who makes the necessary friends, adjusts nicely to his environment, accepts things as they are and gets along beautifully without worrying anybody or wrenching changes in the environment. "Anyone approaching the extreme such as the quiet guy, the pretty girl, or the outspoken critic was selected out somewhere along the line as a dangerous risk," said Edwards. In the critic's opinion, the selection process may eliminate the person who would not only understand and adjust to a new environment, but also those who would have the Volunteer James F.

Running a school lunch program is one of many things done by Volunteer Ida Shoatz, a 1963 liberal arts graduote from State College ot Cheyney, Pa., as she works in the Peruvian Andes. Here she greets a young friend in the market of Pisac where she has gone to buy food. "The only place where a preponderance of whites is a problem is in those countries where we already have a 'racist image.' Here the lack of Negroes tends to fix the Peace Corps in the people's minds as a middle class white organization." Many bright, socially-oriented Negroes are committed to the civil rights fight at home. Others are busy looking for good jobs or graduate schools. Competition for the educated Negro in business, industry and education has become fierce today. But even when a substantial proportion of Hegroea submit Questionnaires, there is still a problem, especially in the case of the Southern Negro. The Peace Corps relies strongly on the Modem Language Aptitude Test, which purports to measure potential ability to learn a language. On this exam, Negroes, as a gro\ip, tend to score lower than other Volunteers. The race of an applicant, incidentally, is not known to Peace Corps personnel before he shows up for training—in other words, until after the tests have been taken. Gale pointed out that "until we raise the level of teaching in some Southern schools, we won't have college students who score well on the aptitude exams." Dr. Abraham Cai-p, director of Selection, points to another difficulty. "There is a danger," he says, "in using these aptitude tests for applicants from culturally deprived environments. The tests may underrate applicants in terms of their potential." They are not, he maintains, an absolute index of what their future achievement as Volunteers may be. Dr. Carp is presently studying whether training courses could be lengthened for these applicants. He sees "academically oriented techniques" used in aptitude testing and training as favoring certain types. Also under study are more programs where another language is not required. The Peace Corps is sensitive, in a meaningful way, to the problems of discrimination. They will disqualify anyone if he shows discriminatory tendencies. Colleges that are not integrated will not be chosen as training sites. The representatives of minority Kroup members on the staff in Washington and overseas is high compared to other government agencies. But other hazards are operative too—^those of "reverse discrimination" which hampers the organization that wants to give Negroes a break but can't because or complex societal factors; those that stop :i Negro from believing that the sign reading "join" means him; those that deter a Southern Negro from setting good references because the people he asks do not know how to write. Tho Peace Corps tried to say goodbye to bias a long time ago. But it's a stubborn guest Page 4 THE EAGLE EYE C o m m o n Misconceptions Exploded The Peace Corps, like many other governmental organizations, is plagued by a "knowle5F:Wffi;a^S5S:!$;-:-S-:-:-:'^^^?S 'fmM'^.v^^^'^.^:'^^^'^'^ Community Change— Goal of Volunteers Peace Corps community development projects -are exactly what the n a m e implies. Such projects, concentrated in Latin America, can mean teaching Peruvians t o l a y bricks, building an aqueduct in Colombia, or conducting adult literacy classes in a Brazilian "favella." One Peace Corps Volunteer working on a community development project wrote, " I had been sitting on the sidelines for twenty years watching t h e world go t o pot and nobody asked me to do anything about it. The Peace Corps did . . ." T h e goals of the community development project a r e : • E d u c a t i n g people to work together to define their own goals and solving t h e problems necessary to achieve them. • Getting governments to respond to community needs. • Achieving material improvement in forms of specific technological advancement and economic growth. "The aim of community development is nothing less than a complete change—-reversal o r revolution if you wish—in t h e social, economic, and political p a t t e r n s of the country to which we a r e accredited," saicj F r a n k Mankiewicz, Latin America regional director for the Peace Corps. The community development project begins with t h e presence of the Volunteer in the country. His first step is getting to know the people—gaining their confidence. This can be done in a variety of ways—organizing baseball teams, teaching English classes, visiting, talking o r attending a fiesta. Next he organizes a community meeting. Volunteers have compared this to t h e first d a y of school—mostly noise and bedlam. Here t h e Volunteer tries to g e t the villagers t o discuss their problems. Generally t h e m o s t this first meeting can do is arouse in .them an interest to meet again. Gradually t h e Volunteer leads t h e people into discovering their problems and finding solutions, remembering t h a t some day he won't be around and t h e y m u s t do it for thehiselves. After a problem is recognized and a solution seen, shirt sleeves a r e rolled up and t h e doing begins. It is in t h e l a s t stage t h a t the Volunteer sees his success and it m a y only be the building of a brick kiln, a chicken coop, o r a cleared road. Community development is hard, mostly because it is like an iceberg with most of the development remaining beneath t h e surface. Mickey Melragon, a returned P e a c e Corps Volunteer who worked on the Alto Beni project in Bolivia, w r o t e about building a brick kiln. "We realized w e needed a project t h a t could be successful, achieved with a little fun, one which didn't rely on outside assistance, w a s practical from the colonizers' point of view, and one with an immediate payoff.

F o y e r classes are concerned with adult literacy, basic health and homemaking. A t the request of the government, t h e Peace Corps entered this p r o g r a m with seven Volunteers in 1962. There a r e now 18 Volunteers working in the Foyer program, and t h e government h a s requested 15 more. 'The Foyers a r e designed for adult education, but children are allowed to t a g along as p a r t of a program to make attendance as easy as possible for t h e mothers. Classrooms a r e conveniently located and t h e women are encouraged t o a t t e n d whenever they can, either in t h e m o r n i n g or afternoon sessions. T h e schools adjust their p r o g r a m s to fit the women's needs: harvesting, daily m a r k e t i n g and family needs a r e all considered. In addition to the basic tools of reading and writing, meal planning, child care, sewing instruction and nutrition a r e p a r t of the curriculum. Some of the Volunteers have established "causeries culturelles," discussion groups in which the women talk about social and civic problems. The Volunteers teach in French, the national language of t h e Ivory Coast, and work under the direction of an "animatrice," who is an Ivoirienne woman who h a s had a secondary education and some special training. Volunteers in the larger, urban schools have modern equipment to use in their teaching, but t h e small- er Foyers do without such things as electric irons, stoves and sewing machines. Sometimes the only equipment available is chalk and a blackboard. In a land where skyscrapers are visible from small, centuries-old fishing villages, t h e Peace Corps Volunteer is helping t h e Ivory Coast fill a n educational g a p . There is no American analogy to the Foyer p r o g r a m , so t h e Volunteers a r e t a u g h t the basics of this new a p proach to education in t h e t r a i n i n g programs. A previous knowledge of French is a g r e a t asset for someone applying for the p r o g r a m , but not an absolute necessity since instruction in French is a large p a r t of the training. The F o y e r s are informal because t h a t is the only way t h e y can be effective, but the i-ationale behind the program is a very serious—and formal—attempt to equip t h e Ivoirienne women for the twentieth century. Colombia ETV Job Done by Volunteers EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION. A cioii of children watching educational television in Bogota, Colombia. Now teaching students, the proiect is manned by Peace Corpi Volunteers working at technicians, producers and teachers. Educational television may not be scoring well with all American teachers, but pedagogues o f t h e Colombian variety can't get enough of it. •The Peace Corps pilot project in educational TV, which opened up during 1963 in Colombia, is now reaching about 150,000 students in Bogota and vicinity, with such subjects as mathematics, natural sciences, geography and history. Two t e a m s of Volunteers inaugurated this muss .schooling effort which will become a n integral p a r t of Colombia's national educational system. The first group of 43 Volunteers, trained a t the University of New Mexico and t h e University of Nebraska with an equal number of Colombians, were television technicians, maintenanc(! and repairmen, prog r a m m e r s , producers, writers and teachers. A second grouj] of 50 Volunteer teachers w a s assigned to travel to the schools receiving the broadcasts, acting in general as contacts between the teachers and the program planners. More t h a n 800 TV sets supplied by the Agency for International Development under the Alliance for Progress have been installed already. By December about 1,400 receivers are expected to be operating, many in more remote areas. Volunteer Charles M. Fitch is a director-producer in the p r o g r a m .

The problems of illiteracy and poor education are so acute in Colonihiii t h a t teachers don't look upon the program as an "encroachment." The 150,000 program, according to one official, is "remarkable for its acceptance and the cooperation of the Colombian teachers and students."

Name Withheld Dear Editor: The Lock Haven faculty and s t u d e n t administration have often asked for more student co-operation and enthusiasm concerning school elections, policies, and educational facilities. Most students are swift to discuss faults they find within the college framework, yet are reluctant to take any direct actions which would correct those conditions. Many times, those issues in which we, as students, feel we are right, the administration has reasonable grounds for its opinions and edicts. However, recently an administrativfe, supposedly disciplinary, action has caused not only resentment and some misunderstanding, but also the increased anger of the student body. Friday night, March 19, at 10:30 came a bearer of bad tidings to the Union. All lights snapped on, dancing stopped and all of us there were ordered to leave. Unable and perhaps unwilling to protest, each group and couple started for the nearest exit. Thankfully, my closest friends and I have our own cars, so we left for the Allegheny Dairy — to sit and talk, listen to music, relax. But what about those dorm students who have only their own two feet? As we walked towards the car, I saw some couples headed in the opposite direction of the dorms, some joining others who had BOOK STORE SPECIAL WINTER WEIGHT JACKETS 20% off While They Last A bachelor's guide to marriage Corey Ford offers a few hints "marriage counselors may have overlooked."

Also— cars, some going to Smith Hall Lounge (where they were later asked to leave) some to the steps and corridors of Sullivan HaU. Most of Lock Haven State students s p e n d most of the weekdays studying — or at least engaged in more educational than social activities. We have little t i m e for dates, movies, television or leisurely reading. Our weekends are our release — or should be. I have been told that the reason for the early closing of the Union was due to the property destruction. Granted, SOME students have abused the furniture and walls. But take one good look at the over-all condition of the Union, and it is no great feat to r e a s o n that it wouldn't really take abuse to break a seat-back or collapse a table. Not only is it in a general rundown state, it is too small, and seemingly rodent-ridden. I have seen no prospect, however, of a new Union being completed next weekend, next month, or even by the end of the year. What are students supposed to do with themselves now that the most popular of their meeting p l a c e s is being closed two hours before the girls' curfew? Sit in Smith Hall? No dancing. Take walks? It's cold and muddy. BEST PLAY OF THE SEASON Hoffman and Mike Remaley) made these scenes most effective.

Miss VanHorn contributed a fiery characterization with interesting tone combinations. Mark Wallace demonstrated an acute stage p r e s e n c e which added greatly to the overall production.

Page 8 THE EAGLE EYE W Highlights by D O N N WAGNER What do popular singer Bobby Freeman and Lock Haven State's Don Faulkner have in common? The answer is sinmple. Both young men became famous recently because of the "Swim." Freeman m a d e the song and dance called the swim popular the latter part of last year, while Faulkner captured a state swimming title for the Bald Eagles. Freeman received a great deal more money for his achievement and a lot more fame, but Faulkner matched Freeman's greenbacks with gold and s i l v e r medals this past year. Don, a second semester Sophomore majoring in Social Science, made a little history of his own for L o c k H a v e n State last month by capturing a State title in the J 0-yard free style event. Faulkner in accomplishing the feat became the first Maroon and Gray swimmer to capture a gold medal in the state tournament. In past years the closest any Lock Haven swimmer came to winning a state crown, was last winter when Lou Frain, a 1964 graduate ,and Don managed to finish in second place in their respective events. Like most good athletes, Don started his training at an early age. U n l i k e most infants, Don found crawling and walking very boring, he instead found splashing and k i c k i n g in the water more to his liking. Don's interest in swimming grew until he began to swim competitively at the age of 14. Swimming for Monterey High School of California in his first two years of high school, he collected his first gold medal. This addition to his trophy case was obtained by winning the district championship. After his fine start on the west coast, Don found himself in his junior year in high school moving to the East. Much to Don's dismay, he discovered that Silver Springs High School in Maryland did not have swimming listed among its varsity sports. Being the determined young man he is, Don did not let this stop him. No sooner had swimming season started than Don was competing for the Silver Spring Y. M. C. A. In Maryland, the Silver Spring Y.

Double your pleasure, double your pitching staff is the favorite s l o g a n of Lock Haven State's baseball coach, Stan Daley, these days as his Bald Eagle nine opens its 1964-65 campaign tomororw afternoon at 2:00 p.m. on the Mill Hall field. Facing another guelling season, Lock Haven State's baseball team will play six double-headers along with three single contests this spring. With these six twin-bills scheduled and only one returning starting pitcher, Coach Daley needs to boost his pitching staff in order to confine the opposition's batting attack. Jeff Ward, a crafty, hardthrowing right-hander a l o n g with last year's relief hurler, Herman Wertz, will produce the nucleus around which Coach Daley and the Bald Eagles will form their pitching staff. Ward, last year was instrumental in leading the Bald Eagles to a 9-9 record, as he was the only Lock Haven hurler to finish the 1963-64 campaign with a winning record. Veteran infielders, Chris Klinger, Walt Horner, Bob Grieb, Dick Martz and Stan Evingham, along with outfielders Ken Vandermark, Mark Hoover and Butch Watson are expected to supply most of the punch for the Bald Eagles. According to Coach Daley, "Because of the poor weather, it is too early to pick out our outstanding rookies this year. The team has had only limited outdoor practice and until the newcomers prove themselves, the veterans will have to carry the team through our first several games." "If our pitching can hold up until a c o u p l e of the team's rookies get a chance to hurl, we could do all right, but if we can't dissolve our present pitching problem early, the hitters will have to carry the team's success." "Defensively, we stand very good, and it's only a matter of time and practice until our hitters get into the groove."
