Lock Haven State College Eag Vol. XV No. 89 Tuesday, May 8,1973 ^ B ^ Haag Brings 'Groovies' World To LHS by Bill Mahon Por a short time last evening a group of Lock Haven students entered the world of the "Groovies" and the "Boo Boo's." Reading from his works, Penn State poet in residence John Haag began by telling a story taken from the first two chapters of his children's book The Mope. The book, of novel length, contains such characters as the "unbird - who doesn't know who he i s " , and the "dog-apilliar" who goes around chasing catapillars. Other characters include, "the man from some- where e l s e " and Slippery Jack who Haag said was, "My idea of a new kind of hero," Mr, Haag started the reading with the warning, "I'll probably forget part of this as I go along, but I won't tell you the part i forget," From this point on the evening was filled with every kind of twisted, contradictory statement imaginable. The characters of The Mope make siaiemenis like, "If you can't get advice from us we're probably not home," and"im trying to solve a mystery , Do you Mc's Fire Does Little Harm; Cause Unknown by Dave Heverly Two local fire companies responded to a general alarm fire yesterday morning at McEntire Hall. The fire was discovered in a first floor storage room approximately 9:10 a.m. by a custodian. The housemother then turned in the alarm. A pumper truck from Citizens Hose Co., along with a ladder truck and ambulance from tlie Lock Haven Fire Co., arrived on the scene at upproximately 9:20 a.m. The fire was extinguished within five minutes and the ambulance was not needed. A fire marshall at the scene said that while there were several possible causes for the fire, he couldn't be certain at the time which cause was responsible. He also added that it was a minor fire, being confined to the storage room and damage to the structure waa limited to a broken window. The room's contents, how- ever, consisting mostly of paper towels, was a complete loss. f" Eagle Wing Tuesday, May 8: Steak Hoagie French Fries $1.15 Wednesday, May 9: Spaghetti & Meatbal Garlic Bread $1.15 Thursday, May 10; Club Sandwich $1.15 Friday, May 11: Baked Fish Macaroni & Cheese $1.15 Bcvwage Included know where I can get some secrets?" Other characters in Mr. Haag's children's books include, "The Ihing in the clock," and "The skinniest man you ever didn't s e e . " Mr. Haag read from many of his more serious poems such as "Dying, Anyone Can", which closes with the line, "It's being reborn that kills you." The poet also read his works "The Seperation", "Atlantis on Five Dollars a Day", "Empathy", and "Losing Touch," He also read "Jonah", which Haag said, "I did 12 years ago, and I still like it. Which is more than I can say about most poems I wrote that long ago," Mr, Haag finished the leading with "Calamity Jane, On Pain", and "Some Accurate Information on Angels," Before starting a question-answer period he closed with, "May the angel of light find you," 4 New 7wiriers Chosen After Thurs, Tryouts On Thursday, May 3, the finals in majorette tryouts were held in Thomas Field House, Head majorette Karen McCormick announced the four new twirlers for the upcoming school year will be Mary Lou Blesh, Sue Chamberlain, Cindy Myers, and Kathy Knipple, Mr, Wil im Rost and Dr, Russell Ni• of the music department • judges for the final decision.

Anonymous We think that the new fountain should not be put behind Raub Hall. Of the 2400 plus students at LHS, few ever venture anywhere near the proposed site. If money is to be invested in a fountain, why not put it where the most students could enjoy it. We propose that the new fountain be put between the Library, Raub Hall, and Russell Hall, Not only would the area be much larger than the proposed one, but more students would be given the chance to see iti Being put in this new location the fountain could become a center o( attraction. The proposed area is a crossroads of students, a place where everyone can enjoy it, not an out of the way place. In the future it might be possible to create a "parklike" atmosphere with the fountain being the center. If this plan seems better to you why not show your suppwt by writing a letter to the e'litor expressing your views, | To the Editor: I write this letter in reply to Mr, Hill's Consider... Legalize Pot. His points on legalization of marijuana are perhaps very desirous for many. Yet I believe that these seemingly valid points are rationalizations. First, the writer begins by stating that " w e " feel that marijuana should be legalized. This is a dangerous generalization because many young people and adults, I feel, are not yet decided upon the merits of marijuana, I only ask, who does he then represent? The author follows by citing the Shafer report as in favor of legalization of pot. His main reason behind this contention rests on the reports high governmental basis, I, as one, cannot readily accept this as a major reason. His confidence in governmental studies is indeed encouraging. It is true that the Shafer Report was not a rubber stamp of the Administration's view (Nixon refused to accept its findings). As rational people, we must consider all opinions and studies. This controversy about marijuana's merits is especially difficult becuase there is so much said by legal, medical and religious experts, and all the information conflicts one numberous issues. To take one study as fact and the last word is a bit hasty. The writer next states that the "American silent majority missed its chance in California" to legalize marijuana. I think it is quite clear that the people of California in the 1972 marijuana referendum made their opinions known that the time is not right for legalization of marijuana. That the sale of marijuana could be regulated in this country is a vacant hope. An effort would require a huge administrative taskt The regulation of its non-use today is an immense failure itself. The writer's point about desired better quality of pot indicates some naivete. The fact that "chippers" in this country are not suffering more adverse effects of cannabis rests on the weak quality of the U.S. hemp. A better quality of p«»tmay produce more adverse reactions. It is a sad part of thi; marijuana controversy that many young people do receive Delta Zeta , Acacia Are Up To Something ; Fund Raising Project Will Benefit Deaf By Ed Dennis A great event involving the Delta zeta soroity ' and the Acacia fraternity, will take place on May] 15 from 1 p.m, to 2 p.m. in front of Price Auditorium. This is a charity fund raising project for the Gallaudet College of Speech and Hearing. Although there are some technical schools and several community colleges which take in deaf and hard»ofhearing students, Gallaudet is the only college in the world whict. hjia an accreaitea noeral arts otoetum for tne aeai. In the tall ot 1971, l,u*6 deaf students from 48 sUtes and 14 foreign countircs were admitted. Of the sttidents, approximately 60 percent were born deaf. Between 25 and 30 percent of the professors also happen to be deaf. Nevertheless, they have credentials equal to w better than those professors serving hearing colleges. The student has a choice of various degrees he may acquire. Hearing students may study for a Master of Science degree in audiology. A Master of Arts degree in either teaching or counseling is also offered. These are just two of the number of degrees a deaf student may acquire at Gallaudet. Extra-curricular activities play a big part in the Gallaudet student's life. Like most colleges, they have a student {ovettunent, which is quite wwerful on the campus. Social life is expanded with its three sororities, three fraternities and independent organizations such as the International Club. Theatre is quite prominent with its two active drama groups, the Gallaudet College Theatre and the Frederick H. Hughes. Memorial Theatre. The athletic program involves students in ten sports, Gallaudet is competitive in football, track, golf, tennis, and swimming. The college, however, is most competitive ih ice hockey and soccer. On May 15, everyone is invited to gp and see what's happening. Gallaudet College has certainly contributed to humanity; the least LHS students can do, is contribute to Gallaudet. criminal records due to the antiquated laws on possession of marijuana. Personally, i feel tliat decriminalization is soon to be realized. One basic reason is that the prosecution of mere possession cases is overcrowding our courts. Yet the writer alludes to another point. That is, the person who tokes up should not accept the responsibility of his act, especially if it is an anlawful act. Societal laws state that use and possession of any narcotic, of which marijuana is one, is unlawful. Many of us may disagree in whole or part with it. Nevertheless, it is the will of the majority. I recognise the argument based on personal liberty to abuse our bodies that many are now advocating. But the point still remains that those choosing to violate the law must accept the consequences, i.e., limited job opportunities. So besides the unknown physical effects, the writer acknowledges mari juana>s legal "bad effects." The writer is inaccurate in his details on the John l^ennonAoko Ono case. John was refused citizenship because of marijuana conviction in Britain. Yoko was not denied entrance. A'though I disagree in principle with the US government action, I recognize that they have a policy of excluding any undesireables. Finally, the consideration presented to the readers was an appeal for goodness, reform and truth, writh a special reference to Watergate and Wound ed Knee. Perhaps the Uuth of these two human tragedies have awakened the deadened sensibility of the people. Yet the writer does not consider this in his own arguments for marijuana's legalization. His half-truths and rationalizations about pot neglect a rational approach by considering all arguments, not just the few that conveniently fit his own belief.
