BORED INDIFFERENCE - - Students waited between Sloan and Bentley for 30 minutes yesterday while campds law enforcement investigated a bomb threat. [Photo by JOHN YUREK.] Bomb threat empties Sloan while building is inspected By LARRY SCHMIDT News Editor A bomb threat phoned into the administration switchboard forced campus law enforcement officers to temporarily evacuate the John Sloan Fine Arts Building yesterday. Fund opens applications fo students seeking aid academic promise in his or her major area of study. Application forms are available in the Office of Financial Aid. The deadline for submitting regular applications is November 8, 1975, with decisions on second semester awards to be reached by December 10, 1975. Awards will be granted in accordance with the normal financial aid policy. Interested students are urged to apply. Officers entered Sloan's classrooms at approximately 10:00 a.m. requesting professors and students to leave the building. While the occupants waited outside along the Woolridge and Bentley Hall grounds, a 30 minute search was made of the building's interior. Finding no bomb. Campus Law Enforcement reopened the building at 10:30 a.m. According to Law Enforcement and Safety Director Cari Nelson the bomb threat was phoned in at 9:48 a.m. by a female voice. Nelson mentioned that he has a suspect, but offered no explanation of how his information was obtained. The bomb threat's most harmful result appears to be the inconvenience which it created. Seveh classes were temporarily disrupted, two of which were administering tests. Wed., Oct. 8, 1975 EAGLE EYE page 2 College volunteers needed to provide companionship By JOHN O'DOHERTY Staff Reporter If you've ever thought about death and its almighty impact on every facet of life, there is a volunteer program at LHS that could certainly enhance, and possibly change, your impression of this stark verity. The Susque-View volunteers are Lock Haven students who find the time and zeal to befriend two elderly persons at the Susque-View Nursing Home for a full semester. They are young people who don't need recognition for fulfillment, but rather understand human dependence and are seeking a means to work within its realm. The Susque-View[)rogram is coordinated by Mrs. Dolores Lynch (Bentley 10). Lynch is looking for students who can spare one hour a week for the whole semester, to meet with at least two Susque-View residents (a half-hour per person) and relate human love and respect to them. "These people feel a sense of abandonment from being stored away," Lynch said. "In many cases, the students are their only visitors - the only ears to listen to them." Lynch commented on the physical condition of the home's residents. "Sometimes a student will go talk to his or her assigned resident, and hear the same story week after week. Some of the more deteriorated minds can't remember from week to week. Some of them never comprehend that they are meeting with the same person every week." There are, of course, many rewarding moments to be experienced as a volunteer. Every year, with the financial support of college and community residents, the volunteers give the home a Christmas party where everyone receives a stocking with gifts. Although the majority of the old folks can't move around very readily, there are some who are able to come to the campus and view a presentation - the Aquafins, or perhaps a play. If you think you may be interested in stifling the senility that thrives on inactivity, or if you would just like to know that you're doing something to help someone, find yourself in 307rRaub at 1:00 p.m. tomorrow, October 9. Billiards come to campus By FRED SCHULTZ Staff Reporter Many clubs and organizations of different interests have been formed on this campus in the past few years. The newest of these is the Pocket Billiards Club which has been set up by Professor Lee Van Horn and ftofessor Dean Phelps. Although the first meeting of the club only turned out three people. Van Horn is hoping that more people will attend the next one. He stated, "We didn't have much publicity for the first meeting. I know there are more pool players than that on campus." Van Horn seems to have a genuine interest in billiards and in the new organization. He attended the United States Open for Pocket Billiards in Chicago this summer and LL. viewed a match which involved $15,000. Both he and Phelps subscribe to the National Billiard News and are urging people who are interested to cont. on page 6 By Bill McComas For some time now, this column has examined individual fi-aternities, sororities, and their members. One topic that has yet to be examined is the origin of the Greek system as it appears today. This year is not only ine bicentennial of our countiy, but also of the fraternity in America. The fraternity idea itself grew out of the secret society that was brougiit by our forefathers from Europe, with the first college fraternity beginning in 1776 with the founding of Phi Beta Kappa at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. This new fraternity was an outgrowth of a club with a very unusual name, "The Flat Hat Club," and was founded by Thomas Jefferson, among others. Through the years, the older college fraternities have changed and eventually even this first social fraternity evolved into the honor society that we know today. The fraternity idea caught on as men found a need for small groups within the larger college community. In 1825, Kappa Alpha was formed at Union College and was soon followed by Sigma Phi and Delta Phi. These three fraternities are known as the "Union Triad," and set the pattern for the fraternity system. In the early years, expansion was confined to New York and New England, with only one chapter found in the Middle West, at Miami University. This first fraternity organized west of theAlleghenieswas called Beta Theta Phi, and was quickly joined by Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi. Together, these three groups are known as the "Miami Triad." What has happened since the founding of these first fledgling groups is history, but the Greek system has survived two wars and varying social climates to reach the point where they are today. Even though some of the older chapters have been lost, the fraternity today remains as strong, or stronger than it has in the past. Reflecting this trend, in 1971 Tau Kappa Epsilon became the first college fraternity to charter its 300th chapter. At the same time fraternities were becoming firmly entrenched in the college way of life, education for women was increasing in popularity. Before long, the fraternity concept was picked up university women, and in 1870 Kappa Alpha Theta was founded at Indiana Asbury College and Kappa Kappa Gamma at Monmouth. These two organizations were the first Greek-letter fraternities for women. There's more to film than fun B|GERALDS. SNYDER * Ever since (back in '94) the first foot offilmwas shown to the first paying customer in a musty New York kinetoscope parior, Americans have been treated to a grand cinematic time: mass-produced amour, glamour, dreams, visionsanything to please, amuse, excite, or divert. Yet the average person has been relatively unaware of the manlpalative power of those perforated strips of celluloid. For through the years motion pictures, apart from offering just plain fun, have been reflectors of social consciousness, barometers of changing sexual attitudes, tools for propaganda, molders of public opinion, and much, much more. To demonsfrate the huge influence exerted by movies, 25-year-old Gary P. Collins, an honor student and film studies major at North western Connecticut Community College, was awarded a grant by the NEH "Youthgrants in the Humanities" program to conduct a Film Influence Study Project which, he feels, helped the partici- pants "develop a new awareness of films as an aesthetic and manipulative medium." A typical participant comment: "You know, I don't think I'll ever look at movies the same way!". Twice a week for 12 summer weeks in 1973 students of NCCC and citizens of the town of Winsted, site of the college, sat through screenings, short lectures, and seminar discussions to explore the influence of such classics as: thel939 German film "Triumph of the Will" (to cont. on page 6 Wed., Oct. 8, 1975 page 3 EAGLE EYE Queen elections slated for today By J E A N O ' D O N N E L L Staff Reporter Homecoming queen elections are scheduled for today from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. in Bentley Hall Lounge and the PUB.
