"Through extensive correspondence and interviews with guests, I am Three Segments Meet And Discuss Problems By SUSAN SHELLY A group of students, faculty and administrators met yesterday to discuss the question of academic decision-making at Lock Haven State. The attitudes of the three groups toward each other were also topics at the meeting. The discussion was headed by Dr. Paul Klens, and a panel comprised of Dr. John Zaharis, vice president of academic affairs. Dr. Howard K. Congdon, and Mrs. Jeanette Cruse Communication, and the lack of communication were topics of prime concern. The problem of poor comunication between students and faculty was debated and it was questioned if there is resentment of faculty by students. Several faculty members said students are unwilling to communicate with them outside the classroom. A student raised course on Advanced Techniques in Modern Dance. The moderator will be senior Nancee Rossi. Seniors To Sign Up All seniors are encouraged to complete their placement registration before graduation.

The need for a faculty group to be instrumental in making academic discussions was brought out and the need for finding interested people to participate was also discussed. Other topics disdussed were priorities of faculty, students and administrators, and the lack of interest of many people of campus affairs. The discussion was sponsored by the Professional Development Committee. trying to memorialize this very specjal American cultural institution," said Parker.

LHSC Student Is LEIP Intern In Harrisburg Dancers Do It With Style This Weekend LOCK HAVEN A dance concert entitled "Motion Commotion" will be of'' Ted by the Lock Haven State College Modern Dance Group of Friday, April 6, and Saturday, April 7, at 8:00pm in Price Auditorium, open to the public at no charge. Some 15 performers will offer dances ranging from somber and dramatic to light and whimsical, according to artistic director Celeste Rhodes. Musical accompaniment will include classical selections, disco music, and current popular numbers. There will be six group dances performed, ranging from those with a Western American theme through classical ballet style to modernistic abstract numbers and disco and jazz styles. Also offered will be seven solo and duet performances, choreographed by the performers. The performers are members of the LHSC Modern Dance Club and students enrolled in the research attempts to document some of the specific works created at Yaddo and the experiences of particular artists while in residence. Because publicity about Yaddo was effective- This semester, a student from Lock Haven has been selected to intern at the State's Capitol in the Life Experience Internship Program (LEIP). This student has had an opportunity to meet Mrs. Thornburgh and the Governor (far left in the picture), along with other key state officials. It is an exciting time to be in Harrisburg as the transition from a Democratic administration molds into a Republician administration. The student interning is David Fissel, a senior majoring in Computer Science. He is interning with the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency. Students designated as "interns" are placed in responsible training positions in the Harrisburg area. During the semester, the intricacies and operations of State government are explored and practical experience is gained by the students which ultimately prepares them for the job market. All students earn a full semester of college credit for their work experience. In addition to working, they keep daily logs and attend weekly seminars. The seminars afford interns, from the various colleges and universities, the chance to get acquainted, share experiences and attend lectures featuring many notable speakers. The internship program began in 19'73 in the Department of Education when 23 students from 11 state-owned colleges had served internships in 12 State agencies. This highly successful program was designed to acquaint students with the procedures of State government, and, at the same time, parallel their major course of study. This past year, 138 students from 22 stateowned and private colleges have interned in the Capitol City. LEIP is sponsored by the Pennsylvania Association of Colleges and Universities (PACU). LEIP's Director, Barbara J. Miller (pictured directly to the right of the Governor), is a former intern through this program. In addition to State government, interns are placed with state-related associations and non-profit organizations. Special consideration is given to each applicant to place him in an area related to his major field of study. LEIP is presently accepting applications for the Summer and Fall '79 semesters. If you would like more information on how to become a LEIP intern contact: Dr. Harvey Stems, Associate Dean, School of Education, Lock Haven State College, 748-5351, or LEIP headquarters at 800 N.

It can not be printed becaused it was not signed by any named person or persons and we could not know who was responsible for the letter, as is necessary for publication under EAGLE EYE policy. The letter was poorly written and crude, and its lack of publication is no loss to this newspaper. However, I feel a comment is necessary on some aspects of that letter, and on the North Hall situation in general. As it was pointed out in several letters we received which were signed and printed, it is not fair to condemn all the residents because of the embarrassing behavior of some. Surely the majority of people who live in that dorm are not responsible for the pathetic behavior of the people who attract the attention. Surely the majority of people suffer enough simply by having to live in that dorm without us making it even harder. In response to the unknown author who wrote in his letter, " I admit some nasty things happen in and around North Hall but what do you expect from a bunch of college m e n . . . , " I can only ask this person if he was joking when he wrote that ridiculous line. "What do you expect from a bunch of college men...?" i expect some intelligence, maturity, kindness and humor, and I have met many men here who possess those characteristics. However, I would expect to have water thrown out the window on people walking underneath it from children, who could not be expected to fully understand the consequences of their act. I expect people who were raised in city slums and don't understand aesthetics to scatter garbage and litter around their living quarters. I would expect socially deprived people who have not learned to get along with other people to yell obscenities at passerbys. i do not expect that kind of behavior from anyone in college and can not, by the furthest stretch of imagination, think of people who do these things as men. Boys, maybe-very immature boys... not men. And so I don't condemn North Hall, I only question the mentality of some of the people who live there. Question and pity... LETTER Letter to the Editor: This is a reply to the person who questioned in a letter to the editor, why the monday after easter is not a holiday this year. We the undersigned ask why it should be a holiday in any year? What makes you think everyone on campus is a christian? We do not ask that our religious days or tne lack of them be holidays. Be thankful that you have received a nice 4 day vacation this year for next year you will receive none. George Goldensilverstein A. Confucian M. Brahma Agatha Nostic A. Theistic Et.

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF MANAQINO EDITOR GRAPHICS EDITORS NEWS EDITOR SPORTS EDITOR PHOTOQRAPHY EDITOR ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR COMPOSITIOM EDITOR ADVISOR QENERAL MANAQER Letters to the Editor Preview Dear Editor, I wish to respond to the letter from Ms. Gillott which appeared in the Letters to the Editor column of the April 3 issue ofthe Eagle Eye and to the students who signed a petition asking that Easter recess be extended to include Monday, April 16. The academic calendar is made up by a committee of students, faculty and administrators more than one year in advance of the period covered. Course and laboratory schedules and all campus activities are based upon the officially approved calendar. Many activities are scheduled on Monday, April 16. Religious events are no longer to be considered in establishing holidays in public institutions so there is no Easter vacation period scheduled in the calendar for the next two years. It is important to mention • Dr. John Zaharis • • Dear Editor, We feel it is our duty to tell the other side of the story on North Hall. First of all, we would like to know just who exactly is the "Committee for Public Safety", and they have the audacity (how's that word for people who can't read) to lump together 250 students and classify them as nit-wits and buffoons. Just because a mere handful of people resort to such behavior is no reason to incriminate the entire hall. Second, we would like to know what you hoped to accomplish by reproving (that means criticizing and is commonly used in North Hall) our dorm in the school newspaper. Be assured that Mr. Bossart is aware of the situation and is taking appropriate actions. Although your article was informative, we seriously doubt if you helped shed any light ont he subject for law enforcement. All you did was build a little animosity between yourselves and the residents of North Hall. Due to the fact that you failed to sign your names, we feel that you knew this would be the only outcome of such a derogatory letter. In the future, if you ever get the urge to write in again, please be a little more specific with your accusations. Dave Jones Jim Kulaga Keith Imbody John Blair Dear Editor, Last week, a waterthrowing incident at North Hall caused a ruckus on the campus of LHS. I would like to comment on the events after the incident occured. On Sunday, April 1, a Law Enforcement officer approached Kevin Kidd (the desk receptionist) and asked if he would go up to Sth floor and see if there was anyone up there with a green-striped shirt. (The officer was parked behind Gross Hall and " s a w " the person who threw the water!) He went up and reported that there were 4 people on the floor with striped shirts and Mike Pipe was one of them. "That's the one I want. The Law Enforcement officer said. Mike went up against the Judicial Board and was found guilty! What kind of system goes on the wrod (and eyesight) of an officer 1,000 feet away! They would have done better by pulling someone out of Bentley and accusing him. It's not right that Mike Pipe should be punished just for wearing a shirt resembling the supposedly worn by the culprit seen by Law Enforcement. If these actions are suitable to the administration, then let's bring back the electric chair and public hangings.! Yours truly, Michael A.

The program opens with a company performance of "Popped C o r n " , a lively dance choreographed by Celeste Rhodes, and previously staged by the Modern Dance Club. Following will be a series of individual dances, choreographed by the student performers. Frances Arndt w i l l begin with " S p r i n g " , a solo performed to the accompaniment of the corresponding segment of Vivaldi's " T h e Seasons". Cathy Lysak and Cheryl Perilli will then step out in a duet called " C o n t r a s t " , performed to the music of Dan Fogelberg. Movie music provides the theme for the next three solos, as Carol Harr performs "Solitude in Circles" to the " T h e m e from Romeo and J u l i e t " , followed by Judy North's solo creation to the " T h e m e from Rocky". Kathy M u r r a y , whose dance " M A H M " is performed to the music of " F l o y d ' s T h e m e " from the movie "Thank God It's F r i d a y " , will be the last solo performer In this sequence, which breaks after a g r o u p p r o d u c t i o n of t h e " C a p e Dance", choreographed by Celeste Rhodes. Following Intermission, the group will dance to the upbeat strain of " W a k i d l d i " , choreographed by class member Rosemary Eckberg to the music of African singer Afric Simone. Two more solos highlight this segment sequence, as Rachine Mazyck dances " I n Search of Discovery" to the music from " T h e W i z " and Linnie Steckenfinger performs to the recent disco hit " I n s t a n t Replay". The class will perform "Direction S t u d y " (again choreographed by Celeste Rhodes), an exercise in sustained movement which has been embellished by the addition of a variety of innovative endings, created by class members. The program will conclude with company performances to " P u l s i n " ' , a bouncy number which combines the choreography of Celeste Rhodes and the class with improvisation, followed by a hustle line dance finale. Nancee Rossi will serve as narrator for the concert. Other dance performers Include Rhonda Moyer and Maureen M u r p h y . Admission to the concert (April 6 and 7) Is free. that holidays for all college employees are specified at the beginning of the academic year. Monday, April 16 is a workday for all staff. Since we are required to have 75 days of class work in a semester, we would have to make up a cancelled Monday with another day, such as a Saturday. But we cannot require our staff to work on a Saturday if it is not part of their regular work schedule. Labor unions are not likely to look favorably on such arbitrary changes in work schedules, unless of course additional compensation is paid. With these constraints operating, I believe all students should be able to appreciate why we cannot acquiesce to their request for an additional vacation on Monday, April 16. • • illiterate. I do not praise or condeni certain irresponsible acts committed by North Hall residents. I do condem the editorial of April 3 by the "Committee for Public Safety". In this editorial they called us mental patients. r • lUB PRKIDEMT MAS P^EM K7MD EMOBH TDR^?fa4P TD Twe Qo^rm^ OFTPB /
