Faculty approves new contract
Faculty merrisers of the
14 slate colleges have overwhelmingly approved a new
three-year contract wilh die
Commonweaiui which includes
an agreement that the Commonwealth will not lay off
any faculty members and a
four percent pay raise.
Members of the faculty
union, the Association of
Pennsylvania State College

voted to accept the agreement
and 298 voted to reject it.
When the contract is
signed by Governor Shapp, it
will n ise the average faculty
salary of approximately
$17,000, by four percent in the
first year. Such a pay hike
will cost three million
dollars according to Secretary
of Education John Pittenger.

NO RETRENCHMENT
The
Commonwealth
agreed not to retrench (lay
ofO facully this year, despite
a drop in sludeni enrollment

move was a "calculated
risk" that enrollment trends
will reverse.

the contract are:

drawn up for a uniform due

stale colleges. Ckievance
procedures now differ at the

Chair - a $3500 award. Each
college will select one
facully member for every 150

X'ESS AND FAILURE

by David C. Heverly
"Male chauvini::in" was tfie cry that ran througli the Lock
Haven State College community when the new plans
a
•Dcatity pageant" type Homecoming Queen contest wet: revealed. But few p.-nplf realized that the original plan! >'ir a
pageant were formed la.it Spring, and for the most part by a
woman.
There are few males who would submit themselves to
talent shows, wolf hovv/s, and bathing suit contests. And
despite the apathetic feeling that is usually running rampant
through our community, there were females who did voice their
disdain at something as chauvimstic as a bathing suit contest,
when the new plans werr first made public.
Bul where ISd those p.^ople go? The taler.i show is still
going to be held. The wolf hcwls are going tc be as loud as
ever. And the females in bathing suits will still walk down the
runway. The only thing that has changed is the date.
uur Queen pr Homecoming Weelcend will be selected this
year, for the most part, as she was in past years. That's fine.
But why haven't any students protested the beauty pageant
which is now going to take piace this Spring? Could it Be our

Lock Haven's Tontojust clowning around
by Bill hrazier
"Everyone wants to be
a clown," says Tom O'Neill.
Tom (more commonly
known as Tonto) knows what
he is talking of. Tom ,had.
the rare opportunity of being
a clown in Circus Kirk, cne
of the few tent and circus
circuses left in the country.
Circus' Kirk is the only
summer circus which originates in Pennsylvania. It
also holds the distinction of
exclu-sively hiring high
school and college students.
The clown business in
tiie circus is no easy job,
according to this Lock Haven
Stale student. Not only were
two one and a half hour
shows required every day,
bul the job of setting up and
taking down the tents every
day regardless of the weather
also fell on die shoulders of
the circus's participants.
A clown's job involves
more than die audience
expects. A clown's job
starts by applying the facial
makeup an hour before show
time. It is then the clown's
job to introduce the audience
to the circus by shaking
hands and sweeping feel
before the main show begins.
Muci, to contrary belief,
clcwns are extremely organized. "Clowning takes
areat ccncentration." says
torn. During the actual show

the clowns do several skits
which require much thought
and practice.,
Facial makeup is very
imporlant in the clown
business.
White
faced
clowns usually are happy
clowns while black faced
clowns usually are the
tramps with sad faces. Tom
was a black faced clown
whose character was sny and
withdrawn.
Of the 200 or so shows
Tom did this summer, he
thought die best one was a
show performed betore 40
blind kids. "They were the
best audience," Tom stated.
"They asked more questions
and were more responsive
dian any other audience."
"Circus Kirk is a three
ring circus which travels
through six states. Ihe
circus also included a big
top and midway, a sideshow
with fireaters, magicians,
and an escape artist, and a
"petting" lent in which
animals were kept to be
petted and bottle fed by the
spectators.
The work was hard and
the pay was cheap, but Tom
enjoyed the summer immensely! When asked what the
biggest asset needed to work
in the circus business was
he stated, "You need to be
a little bit crazy!"

"You raise your head and say,
"Is this where it^is?"
Somebody points to you and says, "It's his."
You say "What's mine?"
Somebody else says, "Where what is."
You say, "Oh my God, Am I Here all alone?"
But still, something is happening.
And you don't know what it is.
Do you
"
From "Ballad of a Thin Man" by Bob Dylan.

If we're really honest with ourselves, few of us are here
because of our burning desire lo learn anylhing. We're here
because, when we were young and gullible, our parents and
guidance counselors told us thai, if we were good little boys
and girls and went lo college, we could turn the American
dream inlo a reality.
Sure, if we actually learn something when we're here, so
much the better. However, let's face il, we're here because
il's the only way we think we know of becoming a success, the only way to bring down THE BIO BUCK!
Since we've established the fact that greater gain is our
real motive for being here, L thought that you might like to
read a progress report on two of my friends who made it to
the other side of this four year wall. My two friends have
been oul in the real world for quite some time now. Here is
-their story.
Kathy was a social services major while she was here.
Jones was a liberal arts English major. It seemed like the
easiest way out.
Before she graduated, Kathy was offered a position that
was in her field. She'd be the boss, setting up new programs.
The job had lots of security, fringe benefits, chances for
advancement and a fairly nice salary. She didn't take it. She
felt that, while she was slill young, she should be something
more than a bureaucrat.
Jones wasn't so lucky. When he graduated, he couldn't
find a job - or at least one he felt was worthy of a college
man. Jones left the Havsn and spent the better part of the
next year at home with mom and dad, sending out very short
resumes.
Kathy joined VISTA. She warited to help give kids a
chance, before society branded them unsalvagable losers.
Instead she was sent to a juvenile prison in the South. She
is supposed to help eighteen year olds that society gave up
on, kicked in the ass and put in a cement box.
Jones finally did get a job. It was a middle management
position with a firm in his hometown. It wasn't a very stimulating or interesting job, but he only had to sit on his ass for
eight hours a day, keep the paper flowing across his desk^ and
look busy. Besides, the pay was great - and Ihat is what the
whole thing is about, isn't it?!
Kathy gels $190 a month to live on. That's based on the
1968 poverty level. One thing she doesn't have to worry
about buying, however, is an alarm clock. The first morning
in her apartment, she was awakened promptly at 7:00 AM by
the sound of a neighbor beating his wife.
Jones has no suoh problems. While he lives in his old
hometown, his apartment is one of the most fashionable that

Penalties hinder Eaglenattack
by Bill Sterner
The California State
Vulcans avengisd lasl year's
loss to die Bald Eagles by
thrashing
LHS 33-6 on
Saturday. A thrilled hometown crowd of 1,000 saw a
game which was frequently
plagued by penalties, a
total of 26 for 397 yards.
Adamson Stadium became
a virtual nightmare for
Coach Weller's Eagles as
they
saw the Vulcans
capitalize on every mistake,
and there were mistakes.
The
long
afternoon
began for Lock Haven in the
second quarter. Chip Boone,
who turned in an outsianding
defensive game, recovered
a Bill Kordich fumble on
the LHS two yard line,
apparently
thwarting
a
Vulcan drive. On the very
next
play,
the Eagles
offense coughed the ball
back over lo Cal Slate on
the one.
With 8:33 remaining
before the half, quarterback
Ken Nichols punched the
ball over for the Vulcans'
touchdown.
Bob Wilson

added the PAT and the
Vulcans broke on lop 7-0.
Wilson's point proved to be
the winning margin. The
teams
exchanged
punts,
then Nichols put his offense of the move again.
Using
an
excellent
passing
attack, Nichols
drove to the LHS 35 yard
line. From there, he lofted a
perfectly thrown aerial lo
Paul Smarslole for the
Vulcans* second score. The
drive covered seventy-five
yards in ten plays, Wilson's
kick edged the Vulcans to a
14-0 lead.
With 4:19 lo go in the
half, Dave Bower cranked
up the Eagle's offense,
driving to the Cal Slate six
yard line. From there. Bower
dropped back ana drilled Ed
Thomas in the end zone
putting LHS on the board,
Greg Day's kick was blocked, bringing the score to
14-6,
> However, this was as
close as the Eagles were
to come all day. It was now
that Weller's bad dream
started. With 1:52 remaining
in the second, Nichols

again spurred the Vulcans
downfield. Using two big
passing
plays to Paul
Smarslole, Nichols moved
the Vulcans to the LHS
seven. From there, he hit
Smarslole for some icing on
the cake with 55 seconds
remaining in the half. The

Boars, bows find their way to Forksville
There is no doubt that
Robin Hood would have been
proud. Although there wasn't
a Friar Tuck among the 2,200
registrants, the 1974 Pennsylvania Bowhuniers' Festival was still held.
During the weekends
driving rainstorms the archers
rallied to shoot ttieir whistling projectiles at both
fixed and moving targets.
This year marked the 18th
time such an event has been
staged in the small town of
Forksville, Sullivan County.
Conceived through the
efforts of local businessmen
the festival has grown to
maximum capbcity. Although
no effort is made to adver'*
tise the annual sporting
event, overflow crowd return to participate in this
non-competitive display of
archery skills. A quick
glance around the parking
lot provided cars witn li-

cense plates from as far
away as Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, and
Delaware as well as from
every imaginable part of
Pennsylvania.
The
busy week-end
found tots, hardly larger than
the ' bows they held, and
members of the "golden
agers" lined up together to
take shot at life size replicas of animals which would
be fair game during the bowhunting season. Not being a
"sexist sport" many women
were also participants in
this annual three day event..
To anyone driving along the
local highway or attending
the gathering held at the
Sullivan
County
Fair
Grounds, it was quite evident that the Bowhuniers'
Festival was truly a family
affairThe highlight of the
festivali at 'east for the

avid enthusiast, was the
boar hunt. This year twenty
five boars, native to the
warmer climate of Florida,
were hunted with bows and
arrows*
Competition
for
these prize animals was so
keen that referees were
necessary to determine who
had made the kill in several
instances. These trophy
animals were displayed from
a tree as tradition dictates.
There they were inspected
both by spectators as well
as more timid archers, while
the accomplished hunters
could be seen in the background gleaming with pride.
The proceeds netted by
the festival have amounted
to as much as $24,000. in
past years. It is estimated
that about $10,000, per year
is used to run the festival.
In the past, profits from the
event have been donated lo
the local volunteer fire com-

panies. Capital improvements
.0 the fair grounds, where
the festival is held, have
been provided by the Pennsylvania Bowhuniers* Association, the sponsor of the
outing,
Besided the boar hunt
and fixed and moving targets,
three mountain trails with
targets were available for
the archer interested in the
challenge of natural surroundings. The moving targets were also a trying
effort for die bowhuniers.
These moving animal replicas,
designed
through
local ingenuity, sped along
metal tracks at speeds of up
to 28-30 miles per hour.
Throughout the rain drenched
weekend the metallic twang
of arrow poinis striking the
metal tracks could be heard
echoing acr'oss the terrain,

the town has to offer. As for money worries, Jones doesn'l
seem to have any. When last 1 saw him, he told me that he
had just gotten a promotion,
"Oh," I said. "Do you enjoy your work?"
" I make more money," was tlie reply,
Kalhy doesn't seem to be as enthusiastic aboul her job.
Jn fact, she finds it to be quite frustrating. She is never
really sure if she's he!ping the kids in the prison. '~ ides,
you can't find much satisfaction in duelipg wilh a ityira of
red tape.
Jones doesn't have any of these problems. He never has
to deal wilh human beings al all, just forms. He just keeps
that paper flowing across his desk.
In fact Jones' job is going so well ihat he is always
arrayed in the finest that the local haberdashers have to
offer. That goes "cry well with his expensive, imported, silver sports cai. Not ttiat he could really affofi it, bul. . . when
you're a colleg man, y " are almost always jgiven a sizable i
credit rating with each dipioma. Instant tsuecess ! ! !
Kathy doesn't have a shiny nsw sports car. Il's just as
well. You don't hiive much money for gas with only $190 a
monlh. As for fashion, Kalhy is one of those poor unfortunate
sou! who doesn'l live in the pages of Vogue. On bad days,
she has trouble trying lo convince the guards she's not an
inmate.
Jones does have his problems as well. With his job and
his new found parvenu status, he finds his Central Pennsylvania hometown lo be o bore. On weekends, when things
become too tedious he loads up the porsche and lashes
across the asphalt lo the Cily.
Boredom is the one thing that Kathy doesn't have to
worry about. What wilh working in the community for two days
a week, working at a women's half way house one night a
week in Charlotte, working at the Y and working at this and
that in addition lo her work in the prison, she neither lias
the time or energy lo be bored.
If he's So bored with his hometown, why doesn'l Jones
pack up his clothes, his credit rating and his Porsche and
move to the City permanently? Well, when you're running from
reality, you must have someplace to flee to. Even Disney
World becomes tedious if you have to live and work there.
Well, one of my friends has brought down that BIG BUCK,
and the olher hasn't. One of them is a success. The olher is
a hopeless, dismal failure.
