Lock Haven State College Mon., Oct. 1 5 , 1 9 1 3 1 Vol. XV! Ifo. 23 Homecoming Reconsidered By Bill Mahon. A few people on the LHSC campus were thrown into panic and a slate of shock late last week while making final preparations fa maybe one of the best homecoming weekends ever. Early in the week the Harlem Globetrotters offered to play in Thomas Field House. Peter Nero was getting a lot of local advertising for his Friday nighl appearance, and also nationally in Billboards. Last minute additions were made, such as a bon-fire Thursday night. Then last Thursday morning the college received word that the Electric Light Orchestra will not be allowed to enter the country until October 23. They are an English group and their Visas will not be approved until three days after their scheduled homecoming appearance at Lock Haven. Gears were set in motion and by early in the afternoon the James Cotton Blues Band was acquired as a replacement. As if that wasn't enough of a bad thing, word was received later in the afternoon that Todd Rundgren also will not be here. Rundgren was scheduled to appear as the featuie of the homecoming concert, but cancelled the rest of his engagements for October. Rundgren is releasing a new album and the reviews of small crowds on the college circuit, he felt, would hurl the record's sales. By Thursday evening everything was once again looking great for the homecoming weekend because of the efforts of a few people. Quicksilver, formerly Quicksilver Messenger Service, agreed to play on Saturday evening to alleviate the Rundgren last minute cancellation. It was indeed fortunate for Lock Haven to book a group the caliber of Quicksilver, on such short notice> to save Homecoming Weekend.

Scientists Come Together by Joe Savrock The science department al LHS expects a sizable crowd again this year at its Science Convention. The thirteenth annual event will be held this Thursday, Oct. 18, in Ulmer Planetarium. The Science Convention is a means of "getting the entire science commimity of the college together," according to Dr. Donald L. Oakley, Associate Professor of Science. Awards are presented annually to science sludents and faculty members in various phases of achievement. The guest speaker this year will be Dr. Hannon B. Graves, Professor of Animal Behavior at Penn State University. His address is entitled "The Ghost in the Machine: Animal Behavior in Theory and Practice," "We rotate the theme of our program every year," says Dr. Oakley, " l ^ s t year fa instance, our speaker dealt with the history of science." The day's activities will begin at 11:45 a.m. with a luncheon in Bentley Hall, followed by Dr. , Graves' presentation at 12.45 p.m. in the planetarium. Then a discussion on the topic of the presentation will be held. After a refreshment break, an awards ceremony will lake place. "We will award achievement prizes to students for outstanding work in science," says Dr. Oakley. Faculty members will be honored also. "Every year," says Dr. Oakley, "we recognize faculty members for advanced degrees, and for recent publications or significant awards." The science department has been pleased with student and public interest in this aiuiual affair. "Lasl year," said Dr. Oakley, "the planetarium was filled, with many people forced lo stand in the back of the room." Make plans to attend this year's convention. You will be intrigued by the phenomenon of animal behavior. But more importantly, you will be taken by the social atmosphere of the event itself. tm^ Mon., Oct. 15, 1973 EAGLE EYE page 2 Lock Haven State College k Band 4 Rouses Teams To... VICTORY??? ^1^ Mon.. Oct. 15, 1973 EAGLE EYE Lock Haven State College Haven Harriers 2nd at Quad Meet by Lloyd Peters The Lock Haven State College cross-country team ended a very successful week Saturday in Binghamton, New York by taking second place in a quadragular meet. The Bald Eagle harriers, led by their senior captain Mike Gaige, ran past undefeated Binghamton University, by a narrow 28-29 score and defeated Hartwick College by a convincing 21-36 margin. LHS lost to a strong Oneata College team, 24-34, but upped their season record to 5-8. For the second time this past week Mike Gaige led all finishers. His lime of 26:50 on the 5.1 mile course broke the old record by 0:43. Gaige took the lead from the fifty-three runners at the race's start and broke away for good at the one mile mark. The race for first was expected to be a dual with Gaige and Oneatas' John Kearney, a 4:10 miler. Gaige's blistering first mile of 4:47, however was too much for Kearney who took second in 27:36. Bald Eagle head coach Jim Dolan was extremely pleased wilh the running of his team. Dolan, who runs nearly as much as his harriers in cheering them on during a race, felt that the course was excellent experience for the team. The rolling and completely grass terrain will be the same type LHS will face in the upcoming big meets. Dolan stated that, "1 was real excited with Mike's race. Ed Fraass ran his best race this season as did Eric Burkert. We must now gel some quality work in in preparation for the big meets." The first of the big Tieets will be this Saturday morning at the Bucknell University Invitational. Up to 15 teams are expected lo compete on an excellent Bucknell course. October 28 finds the Bald Eagle harriers at Penn Slate for the United States Track and Field Federation Meet. The last of the big meets will be the Pa. Conference Championship Meet November 3 at Millersville State College. In commenting on the Bucknell Invitational race Dolan stated, "Our team has been improving with each meet. With the confidence gained from the past two meets we should finish Eagle Booters Drop First to Tough E Stroudsburg by Gary Brubaker "If East Stroudsburg is rated third or fourth in the East and ranked nationally then we can't be far behind." Soccer Coach Karl Herrmann stated following Saturday's game in which the Eagles lost their first match of the season to a very tough East Stroudsburg eleven, 2-1. "We won the first half," noted Herrmann. "They were lucky to have a 1-0 tie with us at halftime." The Eagles were really fired up for this game, scorirtfe just 14 seconds into''' the contest. Bill Bush tallied on a 15 yard right-footed boot from the left side and LHS led 1-0. Bul East Stroudsburg didn't carry a 7-1 record and a National rating for nothing and tied the game at 32:45 of the period on a score by Denny Snyder. The shot from 3 yards oul on the right side with an assist by Frantz St. Lot gave the Warriors the lying goal. Neither team scored the remainder of the period and LHS definitely appeared to have the edge at the half as far as momentum was concerned. The second period began with East Stroudsburg really putting the pressure on the Eagle defense. Much of the opening action found the Warriors constantly on the Eagle's half of the field Their pressure payed off at 14:47 when Frantz St. Lot took a pass from Blaz Stimac on the left side and scored on a 10 yard shot to give the Warriors the lead, 2-1. The Eagles valiantly tried to come back, but being respectably." "1 feel Gaige will be in the thick of things but I have to rale Bradley ahead of Mike." Bradley is AllAmerican Jeff Bradley of Millersville State College who was defeated by Gaige in the Pa, Conference mile championship at Lock Haven this past season. Bradley has to be rated as one of the top ten runners in the nation this season. In 1971 he finished third in the NAIA championship and lasl season he was 17th in the NCAA-College Division championships. Saturday's top ten place winners and LHS's finishers: 1.
