In separate letters sent late in 1985, editors William N. McVaugh, Jr., and Brian Lathrop, at present Math/Computer Science majors, asked the universfty to pay the debt. Responding for the universfty. Dr. Dean Phelps, acting associate vice president of administratton, wrote in a letter dated March 18, 1986, "The University has no obligation and makes no commftment to any aid in this matter. *We do continue to urge a good fafth effort on your part to send out and collect for the several hundred Yearbooks whtoh remain in Akeley 214." Dr. Phelps had no further comment when recently asked about the sftuatton. Yearbook records indtoate that of the 371 books printed, only 154 were distributed to subscribers, leaving 217 still in storage. Denise Devoto, an LHU graduate from N.J., voiced her frustration over not receiving a yeartx>ok she purchased more than a year ago, "I dont even want the book anymore; I just want my money. lpaW$19.75forft.Bestoes failing to distribute hundreds of books, the editors left behind documents that raised questtons about their abilfties to manage successfully, on their own, the finances of a yeart>ook operating independently from the universfty or the SCC. Among other ftems, receipts were listed for a $73-a-night hotel stay, a $1,200 personal computer, 150 bagels, and two trips to the Nicketodian. Paid for In cash was a $73.14 one-night stay at the Tabas Hotel in Downingtown. In addttton, there is a receipt signed by Brian Lathrop for a $48.76 room at the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Sheraton. When asked about these expendftures, photography editor Steve Wrtok sato that he thought the hotel bills were for conventtons. Commenting on the high prtoe of these rooms, Wrtok said, "Whatever happened to the Days Inn?" in a financial statement accompanying a letter, both written by edftor McVaugh, is a $1,200 computer expense for 12 months rent. On deposft with the PUB bookstore is a certified check from edftor Lathrop for $1,136 as full payment for an IBM portable personal computer. Also Included in the financial statement Is a $200 expense for computer paper. Using the present rate at whtoh the Eagle Eye consumes paper, this money would purchase enough paper to print the Eagle Eye for nearly five years. Unexplained is a bill of $22.50 for 100 regular, 25 onton, and 25 rye bagels. Brian Lathrop William McVaugh Other food bills include $10.25 pato to Bonanza in Elmira, N.Y.; $8.08 from Scots Lo-Cost grocery for a toaf of bran bread, a pound of butter, a tub of tow calorto margarine, a package of celery, and other only partially Mentified ftems; and $6.16 from Scots for seven packages of croutons.

Receipts reveal that $23 was spent at Claster's Lumber Yard for items such as wood screws; 5/16* nuts, washers, and carriage bolts; two furring strips; two 2 x 4's; one pound of ten penny nails; and a can of wood glue. Finally, receipts showed that McVaugh charged a $7 on-campus paridng ttoket dated / ^ i l 16,1984 to the yeartxx>k. Given the opportunity for an interview t>efore press time, McVaugh declined lo comment. Questtons remain about why Lathrop and McVaugh were altowed to spend money in this manner and how they obtained this money. The Eagle Eye will address these questtons in following issues. Pursell appointed Acting Vice President for a year By Chris Fischer Feature Editor Dr. Mary H. Purseii .,ie&;..l._ jr • . **.. _ . ^ j ' l i . - •. Dr. Mary H. Pursell was appointed Acting Vice Prestoent for Academic and Student Affairs at Lock Haven Universfty last week. The announcement was made last Friday by the University's President, Dr. Craig Dean Willis, at a facutty meeting. The position, formerly entftled Vice President of /Academto Affairs, will be in effect from July 1, 1986 to June 30, 1^87. Dr. John Zaharis, the current Vice President for Academto Affairs, will be joining the Department of Biological Sciences at LHU. He has held the vice president posftton since 1976. When asked about the move, Zaharis had no comment. Willis said, "The two vice presidential posfttons at Lock Haven Universfty have been restructured to reflect the changing needs of the University. On a campus of our size i believe that we need to be very concerned with the interaction of academto affairs and student affairs." The posftion of Vice President for Administration will become Vice President for Administration and Development, wfth George Marshall continuing in that capacity. This change reflects the need of all state universities to be more concerned wfth external as well as state funding. Willis said, "During the years Dr. Zaharis was Academic Vice President, the University has developed new programs such as Management Science, Economics, Heafth Sciences and Army ROTC which meet the needs of our students. We appreciate his contribution to academics at Lock Haven Universfty." "I believe we are fortunate to have a person wfth Dr. Pursell's background to assume the posftton,* sakl Willis. *Dr. Pursell worked as Acting Associate Dean of Students in 1983-84 and has had extensive experience in teaching and departmental administratton.* The administration and faculty will meet this today to begin the process of naming a search committee to locate a permanent appointee for the Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs posftion. At the faculty meeting, Willis stressed that appointing Pursell as the acting' administrator did not mean that he was pushing her for the permanent positton. Willis explained that both internal and external people will be constoered by the search committee. Pursell is chairman of the Department of Biological Sciences at Lock Haven University and has been a faculty member since 1973. 2 Eagle E y e Tuesday, April 8, 1986 EDITORIAL Get out there and let it all hang out I "The valiant taste of death but once, but a coward dies a thousand deaths." This is definitely a quote you can live your life by. ! don't know who said it, but the guy knew what he was talking about. The question is: Is a life withoutthriUsand a bit of danger (or at least implied danger) worth living? My answer is NO. Modern society is much too tame. I guess it can get pretty exciting in some alleys in New York City, but that's for a completely different breed of individuals. I mean, when was the last time a grizzly bear chased you into a tree, or when did you wade through quick sand to avoid being eaten by a band of hungry pygmies. The most dangerous thing most people do is cross the street at a busy intersection. There is nothing that peaks the senses as much as the feeling you get when you're scared for your life. That large lump you get in your throat as your heart pounds and your adrenalin splashes all through your body is what risk recreation is all about. I'm not advocating going out and getting yourself killed. I'm advocating that you go out and get the bejebers scared out of you. Risk recreation, thrill-seeking and dangerous adventures make everyday life somewhat liveable. They teach you leadership skills, confidence and poise under pressure. The only drawback to participating in risk recreation is that it normally breaks the bank account. Try parachuting, Whitewater canoeing, hang gliding, rock climbing, anything that gets that old heart a pounding. If you live Gust kidding) you won't forget or regret it. I understand (barely) that some people don't like feeling scared. Weil, there's another feeling that I'd like to advocate. There are few feelings like those when you push yourself to the limit and beyond. Those times when you go to your inner gas tank and find it empty.

Jay LETTER TO THE EDITOR I'm writing this letter to get answers to questton I have. The main question I have is who is responsible for the maintenance of the elevator in Gross Hail? It seems everytime I turn around the thing is broken again. It seems to me that whoever is responsible for the elevator Is not able to handle tha job. Why do I pay so much money to live in the dorm when I have to climb 70 steps to get to my ftoor (and that is after climbing the hiU to get to the dorm}? I dont know how the other students who live on 3rd and 4th ftoor feel about this problem, but I am fed up with it. I want something done, h's atwut time we speak up and get it fixed for good. And if whoever is responsible for ft cannot fix tt. them find some one who can do the job. This is not only a problem for the students, but also a probtom for the custodians who clean the domns and have to carry their equipment form floor to ftoor. It also seems that when it is not broken down, the hall council dectoes to shut ft off because of acts of vandalism. There are probably only one or two persons doing these acts of vandalism and tMcause of them the whole dorm has to sufferl That does not make sense to me. In conduston, we are paying atotof money to live in this dorm.

Students taking summer courses have to pay $68 per semester hour, and if they take 12 semester hours, tiiey are constoered a full time student, so they pay the full-time rate, Marshall sato. Afthough students taking 12 credfts really pay for the same as up to 18 credfts for the fall and spring semesters, they can only take 12 credfts to the summer, sato Dr. John L. Zaharis, vtoe president for £K:ademto aflairs. The way the class schedule is arranged, 12'credtt hours will fill a student's day wfth dasses. Students pay by the credit hour, Zaharis said, so students may take just one course ft they want to. ' I think the cost is up pretty high,* said Mtohele Vottz, a student registered in a summer session course. *But i went to another college, and I'm used to seeing the high prices.* Marshall said that the summer sesstons are worth their cost, because students get the same credft on their transcript as they would in a fall or spring sesston. T h e sesstons are three to five weeks long, so a student has to work harder in a shorter period of time, said Marshall. The sesstons give students a chance to graduate in less than four years or a chance to retake a failed course. David Oxenreider, a student registered in lx>th five week sessions, believes that the first five week session falls short in the variety of courses offered though. He added that the second sesston has a wider variety of courses. Along wfth tuitton, students must pay an activfties fee of $ 1 9 . 2 0 per five week session and an equipment Porno and obscenity debated replacement fee of efther $5 or $10, depending on the number of credfts being taken. The activity fee covers the same kinds of events ft covers in the fall sato Marshall, but he does not know any of the adivities planned. He added that there are no competitive sporting events in the summer. "The activfty fee has always been a joke to me. because I'm not sure where the money goes, i guess ft covers movies and sporting events, and I do go to a movie once in a while, but that's about ft,' Oxenretoer sato. Also induded In the prtoe of summer sessions are the cost of room and board if the student lives on campus and the cost of the meal plan if the student lives off campus and wants to eat in Bentley Dining Hall. Students can pre-register for the summer sessions in Sullivan Hall until April 30. Give the gift of tife on Ttiurs. By Sue Berger StaffReporter T h e question of what should be regulated in pornography and obscenity will be debated on Wednesday, April 9 at 7:30 p.m. in the Hall of Flags. Dr. Ernest Giglto, professor of polfttoal science at Lycoming College will argue that laws should be passed to regulate pornographic and obscene material. Mr. Robert Bravard, director of Stevenson Library, sato he will argue that government has no right to censor any materials for adufts. Bravard said, *l think that the issues of pornography and all the other things are a matter of taste.* He added that people shouto not try to stop others from reading txioks or viewing movies just because they disagree wfth such materials. Bravard said he came to Lock Haven University in 1963 after he quft his librarian position at Findlay College, Findlay, Ohto, t>ecause of a censorship dispute. The college administrators. Bravard said, did not think the library should have a copy of "Tropfc of Cancer", a book that he had ordered. Dravard became director of the Stevenson Library in 1970. Giglto, who has been teaching at Lycoming College for over 2 0 years, said, *l'm not going to come across as a purftantoal censor. This Is an academic interest.' Bravard sato that they may discuss whether or not certain materials should be available to children or for public display. He added that people should not seek qutok, simple answers, such as total censorship, to the pornography issue. Giglto and Bravard will e a d i have 10 minutes to present their views. They will also have five minutes to dispute each other's views. The debate will then be open to the audience for questions. Mike Dinko, a senior journalism major, will moderate the debate. The debate is being sponsored by the Society for Collegiate Journalists. By CIndl Gillmor News Editor Do a good thing give the gift of love this Thursday at Woolrtoge Hall Lobby.

According to Joan Hayfield, the person incharge of running tiie blood mobile, "ft only takes an hour of your time and refreshments will be served to all those who donate btood." Hayfield said that there were 3 5 0 donors last term and hopefully there will be just as many ft not more this term. She said, however, that there will probably be a shortage of donors due to the aids scare. Hayfield hopes that all those people who donated last term will donate again this term. Hayfield added that this term's blood mobile will t>e run a lfttle dftferently. There will be a telethon to try to get more people to donate blood. She said that volunteers from the fraternfttos and sororfties on campus and members from the residence halls association have been calling for pledges of blood. "The telethon is going very well and there has been a big turn out of people pledging so far, especially from the fraternfties," sato Hayfieto. Hayfield added, however, that walc-ins will be greeted wfth open arms. The different fraternfties will t>e setting up and taking down the btood mobile. Also the different sororities will be escorting the donors to the refreshments after they have donated their btood. The "Dames", facufty women and faculty wives, will also be helping out with the blood mobito. They will be serving the refreshments. Hayfield added that if anyone would like to help out in any way wfth the blood mobile to please call Joan Hayfield at 893-2022.
