The Special Education department at Lock Haven State College will have a different program starting in August 1977. Exactly what the new program will be has not been decided. Wednesday night, at a special meeting of APSCUF faculty. Dr. Mary Alice Smith, Chairman of the Special Education department, explained the problem. According to her, Harrisburg has ordered LHS to change the requirements of a special ed. SSC to present sociological plays By MARY NOLAN Staff Reporter The Social Service Club will present from the "Plays for Living S e r i e s , " Ring Around The Family and The Quiet Cries at 7 pm in Raub 106, on November 18, 1976. Ring Around The Family focuses on the part that family life education can play in helping family members meet daily crises more effectively. Quiet Cries highlights the advances in suicidology regarding the clues that the suicidal individual projects and how suicide can be prevented. This is an innovative program since many social work students will be enacting the roles in the plays. Also because the plays involve audience participation. Much interest has been expressed in this unique program dealing with the contemporary problems social workers are concerned with. Dr. Feldman, who has been credited with being an expert in group dynamic techniques to enhance communication in social work education, is in charge of the program. All students are encouraged and welcome to come without charge. The Social Service Club is a relatively new organization on campus, and in many respects it is still in the experimental stage. The main goal of the club is to unite the 160 or so Social Work majors on cont. on page 4 Karate Club is booming By CHRIS LEONARD The Karate Club, possibly one of the fastest growing clubs at Lock Haven State, has grown from 14 to 76 members in only three years of existence. Twenty members are women and practice fighting against both men and women. The club was founded by Mike Bonadio in 1974 for the purpose of teaching Tai-Kwan-Do, "the art of hand and foot" and self-defense. Meetings are held on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 7:30—9:00 pm in Roger's Gymnasium. Several black belts are the instructors. The instructors include Fred DeStolfo, a second degree black belt in Tai-Kwan-Do, John Tomaselli, a first degree black belt in Jui-jltsu, and Abe Humina, a first degree black belt in Kung Fu. The instructors first stress cont. on page 4 major. Currently, a special ed major at LHS is required to take courses dealing with the mentally retarded as well as courses in elementary education. It is a dual certificate program. Harrisburg has ordered LHS to adopt a comprehensive program. Beginning in August. 1977, a special ed. major at LHS will be required to take courses in five areas of special education instead of only one as the current program dictates. The five areas that special ed. majors will be required to take courses in are: learning disabilities, brain damage, physically handicapped, emotionally disturbed and mental retardation. According to Dr. Smith, the new requirements for special ed. majors, will make it extremely difficult for a student to complete a dual certificate program in four years. A student would probably need another year to meet the requirements. "The dual certificate program may therefore become impractical," stated Dr. Smith. "Not cont. on page 4 Poet to recite his. works Thurs. The innovative poetry of Russell Edson comes to the campus of Lock Haven State College this week via Russell Edson himself. Last month, Edson, added a sixth book to his list of publications entitled " T h e Intuitive Journey and Other Works". The book appears under the Harper and Row catalogue and has been well recieved in the United States. "Russell Edson Reads From His Own Work" will appear in the Ulmer Planetarium, Thursday, November 18th at 8 pm. The reading is sponsored by the LHS Department of English/Philosophy and is under the coordination of Professor Joseph Nicholson. Edson uses the form of a Prose Poem. About it he writes, "...the Prose Poem seems the least specified as literature. This is why it is so useful to me. I am freed from the selfconscious notion that I'm doing a poem now, or I'm doing a short-story now: but literature, swell; if it be painfing, swell, again; and if it be only a shopping list for groceries. That's okay too." paee 7 Today's Editorial Tuesday Nov. 16,1976 EAGLE EYE WE hold these truAs... Yesterday's EAGLE EYE contained a version of the events surrounding the SCC's Executive Committee eleclloi as told by EAGLE EYE columnist David C. Heverly. Heverly claimed that the reader was given "the full story" simply because he wrote his "facts" under the auspices of his admitted support for Jayne Bolduc. .Most of what Heverly reported Infers that the press and/or government is being manipulated. He didn't mention any decisions that I have made as Parliamentarian that have given the EAGLE EYE special treatment. He also didn't point out any biased articles that I've written as News Editor of the EAGLE EYE. He couldn't if he had wanted to! Heverly knows that I'm not doing anything "Illegal or unethical." He admitted it In his column. Why did he INFER that I am acting unethically? He claimed that I wrote an article about the election Monday night. I did not write It. He again inferred on Tuesday night that the EAGLE EYE was purposely inaccurate In reporting that a new election was due. The EAGLE EYE was entirely ACCURATE. On Tuesday night Jeff Caulkins, Election Committee Chairperson, Lorin IVIock, SCC President and myself decided that a new election would be called. We had the authority and we made the decision. It wasn't until Wednesday afternoon that another election was questioned. On Wednesday afternoon It was Heverly himself who claimed that he had found a viable loophole In the Constitution. Because Heverly advocated that Jayne Bolduc was exempt from nominee requirements there was a chance that another election wouldn't be necessary. The SENATE made the final decisions on Wednesday night. Heverly knew the EAGLE EYE article was accurate. Why did he INFER that It wasn't? Last semester David Heverly and I were appointed co-chairpersons of the SCC Constitutional Revisions Committee. In his column Heveriy asks why I didn't change the academic good standing requirement. Heverly knew that it wasnt because of some devious reason that the provision remains. Why does he try to INFER something contrary? Heverly claims that it took me "months" to declare members of the Senate ineligible to seree. He knows that the revisions that gave me that power weren't passed until Oct. 23 — over a month AFTER the Senate election. He tries to INFER something sinister when he states matter-of-factly that I found Jayne Bolduc Ineligible In only one day. He "forgets" the I COULDN'T have done It sooner because she ran a write-in campaign on the day of the election. Beyond his distortions and inaccuracies Heverly seems to advocate seperation of press and government at this college. He contradicts himself by stating that at a school this size the idea is not leasable. Not too long ago Heverly served simultaneously on the Senate and on the Student Publlcatons Board. He may very well have lost his bid for SCC First Vice President In last year's election because people criticized the fact ihat he was on the Senate Appropriations Committee and was chairman of ihe Student Publications Board. Heverly was a member of SAC when the SCC bought the play that he produced. Heverly's anger last year rivaled the bitterness that he Is expressing this year. Why does he insist that he advocates SCC/EAGLE EYE seperation when he has historically been Ihe worst "offender"? Not all truths are self-evident. -Philip J. Burlingame It has taken me a long time to decide whether I should write some sort of rebuttal to Mr. Heverly's column. Though I believe the column to tw very Irrational, I feel I musl respond because Mr. Heveriy may have left the student body with assumptions and conclusions! that will be based entirely upon Mr. Heverly's half-truths. The column seems to Imply that I have not been able to objectively distinguish my roles of Managing Editor and Senate Caucus Leader. The column contains no factual evidence to support the Implications made, nor has anyone else beeri able to present such arguments. I feel Mr. Heverly's points are too shallow to defend. However, If members of the student bady wish to question me about my role on either or both organizations, please feel free to stop by the Publications or SCC offices, or talk to your Senators and I will be happy to answer them. —joAnn Morse Letters to the Editor Free class schedules requested Dear Editor: It is once again time to go out and pay 25 cents for a class schedule at your bookstore. Although I may stand to be corrected most colleges send these to the students as a service to both themselves and to the students, (ex. lUP PSU) To me it seems evident that if one was sent to each student less problems would occur at registration. However, there are some supplied at strategic points on campus, outside of Raub, the Library and in Sloan. The answer that I'll receive is that here is not enough money to perform such a service. However, there is enough money to send out a student directory that is left in the bottom of the PUB to be picked up. This directory has been known to be one semester and at one time a whole year late. When this happens it is a total waste of money, for which could of been used to perform other services. How about cutting out the campus calendar which is published twice a year. The need for this is nill, for the same information is available in 3 other forms. 1) The Eagle Eye 2) The Daily Bulletin and 3) All over campus in the form of the monthly campus calendar (sent out by the activities office) in the form of colored stationary available in at least the library and downstairs in the PUB. Another service is the Eagle Wing which has coffee cont. on page 4 [SIC] makes Heverly even sicker To the Editor; I must apologize for consistently misspelling Jayne Bolduc's name thrcaghout my column as B-U-L-D-0-C. However, I think that you judge me too harshly on my spelling of the word "fall". According to my copy of The Random House College Dictionary my spelling of fall with a lower case f is correct. It may not be traditional, but when have 1 ever been traditional? Since we are paying so much attention to accuracy, I am forced to point out a few errors on your part. You misused the notation (sic) numerous times. You used it to indicate errors of omission on my part. To indicate that, you should have inserted the missing words parenthetically. 1 find your use of the ' [sic] rather amusing in my fact number eight. The item you find incorrect is an exact quote from the Eagle Eye. I must confess that I am an atrocious typist and that on occasion I even misspell a work out of my own ignorance. I know that I must be an embarrassment to the high standards set by the Eagle Eye. It's just that in my rush to meet deadlines, 1 go counter to prevailing Eagle Eye policy and put substance before form as a priority. Why did I turn in copy with these stupid mistakes? cont. on page 4 SPECIAL KANE COMPANY RING D A Y Wednesday, Nov. 17 10a.m. t o 3 p . m . Outside Bookstore in PUB The $59. 9.00 college ring «-^
