Programs approvec
for future development
By JOHN O'DOHERTY
Co-Editor
Lock Haven State College,
as a result of continuous
effort by its College Planning
Commission, to maintain rele
vant curriculums has had six
present course programs approved for development to an
elevated status in the coming
years.
The programs which have
been approved for development are Print and Nonprint
Journalism, Computer Science, Special Education, Engineering, Speech and General
Studies. A degree program
has already gone into effect for
the Latin American Area Studies Program. Its approval
came through in January,
along with approval to develop
an Environmental Education
Program.
In their 1975 Three-Year
Plan, submitted to Jerome
Ziegler, Commissioner of the
Office of Higher Education,
the CPC requested approval
for a total of 10 programs
which the college expressed a
desire to develop. Two of them
which were rejected were a
Masters Degree Reading Program and a Baccalaureate
program for Music and/or Art
Education. Ziegler's office has
misrepresented LHSC, in failing to acknowledge an area
which is an assigned mission
to the college. This oversight
has belayed approval of two
more programs which had
been requested for development.
"We have an assigned
mission in Rural Studies," Dr.
Gerald Robinson, Vice President of Academic Affairs,
stated firmly Wednesday
night. "We'll have to speak to

Sam Marcus and clear up this
mistake," he continued. Marcus is the State's designated
liaison between LHSC and
Ziegler's office. Clarification
of the error should show eight
of the ten requests receiving
approval.
Although the Three-Year
Plan was initiated as a means
for maintaining close control
over the growth and expansion
of the state colleges, it has
been terminated by Ziegler
because his criteria for composition of the plans were
unrealistic. He had earlier
demanded that all Three-Year
Plans be constructed under the
restriction that there be no
increase in enrollment, that no

A large budget cuf could mean fuition hilce
With the failure of Governor Shapp's proposed fivecent tax hike to be approved by
the Senate, there is a possibility that the State College
portion of the Governor's
budget might be cut anywhere
from $400,000. to $4,000,000.
While this possibility is
still rumor in Harrisburg, it
could mean a $50.00 tuition
increase next September for
state college-enrolled students.
Executive Secretary,
Warren E. Ringler reported
"There is a growing sentiment
among members of the General Assembly to force a tuition
increase."
Later reports indicate,
however that the Governor's
budget went through the Senate Appropriations Committee, and while it was cut to
meet the loss of intended tax
hike, the State Colleges and
University emerged unscatheed.

The budget has yet to be
reviewed by the House but
sources in Harrisburg are
hopeful and confident that a
similar method for trimming

the budget will be followed,
and the $169,491,000.00 proposed for the State Colleges
and University will go
through.

Student waives hearing
By TINA BROOKS
Feature Editor
A preliminary hearing
held yesterday for Judith A
Levandoski, a L.H.S. co-ed
initially charged with criminal
homocide and concealing the
death of her bastard child,
ended as Miss Levandoski
waived the hearing after the
testimony of one witness. Her
case will now be taken to
Clinton County Courts, for a
trial before a grand jury.
The hearing with District
Magistrate Carl Hamberger
presiding, began as district
Attorney J. Michael Williamson requested that the complaint against Miss Levandoski
be amended in two places to

read "February 16" instead of
"on or about February 15 or
16." Williamson also requested that a charge of involuntary
manslaughter of her infant
daughter be added to the
complaint in addition to the
criminal homocide charge.
Miss Levandoski's attorney then entered a plea of not
guilty for her.
Pennsylvania State Police
Trooper John A. Keeler testifies that he became involved in
the case on February 25 at 9:00
p.m. when Williamson contacted him and requested him
to accompany the DA to the
college.

Black Cultural Society iddens
scope of 'black awareness^
By BILL STERNER
Staff Reporter
Six years ago, black students at Lock Haven State
College under the combined
efforts of Terrell Jones and
Dan Elbee, came together to
form the "Black Student
Union." Today, the organization is widening its scope of
"black awareness" and service to the black student on
campus.
The Black Cultural Society is a way for black students
at Lock Haven to have an
opportunity to have a power
base on campus. It is a way of
a minority being able to affect
the decisions being made for
them," related Ms. Lisa Byrd,
the soft-spoken president of
the society.
Byrd went on to define the
society as being comprised of
two distinct functions.
"First," she began, "We
stand as a political organization. By being represented,
we attempt to affect change as
a group. Second, the society is
a social and cultural blend for
the black student. We plan
functions to be culturally oriented to the black student,
because of the different interests between them and the
white student on campus,"
she said.
In the past, the society
has sponsored dances and
parties along with several
artists series to meet this
cultural difference. This year,
they plan to expand to meet
the many interests and talents
of the black students on
campus.
The society has a full
schedule of plans they hope
to institute this spring- A
black artist series is planned to
later this year, and definite
plans are being formulated to
sponsor another dance like last
semester's. The society is also
working on a black the'<!re
group and plans to stage a
production sometime this
Spring.
The foremost interest to
the society this Spring However, is the tentitive opening
of the "Black Cultural Center"
on campus. Located in the

bottom of the computer building, the center is due to open
this Spring. The space was
awarded to the society last
year with the permission of the
college administration.
When completed, it will
serve as a resource center for
students on campus interested
in the black experience. The
center will include a library,
lounge, and will also serve as
office space. The society also
plans to hold their functions
and meetings in the center.
Byrd feels that the standing institutions on campus
such as the S.C.C, college
administration, faculty and
some particular departments
display the greatest lack of
interest.
"Some do not realize nor
see the need for the black
students to have their own
organization," she said. "We
are termed a 'small club' and
given very small funds as a
result. There is very little we
can do in terms of social and
cultural activities because of
this lack of funds," she
concluded.
Byrd stated, however,
that these adversities give the
society purpose and meaning
to the blacks on campus.
"Even though these things are
truths, it is up to the black
student to effect change," she
revealed. "This doesn't mean
we are trying to separate
blacks from the rest of the

Faces
in the
Crowd

Introducing a new column! This column, Faces in the Crowd, la a new
weekly feature ol the Eagle Eye. Every week a new student will be placed
in the spotlight.

This week, our face in the crowd comes from world-famous
High Hall. He is a long-time resident of High, having lived there
for three years.
. , . „
Born in the Passaic Memorial Hospital m jPassaic, N.J.,
approximately 20 years ago was Jeffrey Alan Sintic. He now
resides in Denville, N.J., near the renowned Lowrey family, with
his parents, Don and Mary Lou.
Sintic is the second child in his family and would like to be
known as the black sheep of the family. He attended Morris Knolls
High School, the Alma Mater of other LHSC notables such as
Wally Van Treek, Rich Morrell, Sharon Hamilton, Sue
Columbrito, and ZTA standout, Nancy Campbell.
When asked why he came here to Lock Haven, Sintic replied,
"Well, 1 applied during the last month of my senior year, and I
came iiere because I was accepted."
For two years he was a Geography major, but this year, he
changed it to Elementary Education. "My main goal is to get out
of here infiveyears. I think I'm suited best for a teaching career,"
he laughingly stated.
For people who don't know him as Jeff Sintic, his nickname,
given to him by his High Hall associates, is "Jersey."
Among his many activities are the soccer team, the hockey
team, and the High Hall softball team.
Sintic has come a long way in relations with his house
mother, Mrs. Catherine Foltz, and the college law enforcement
department. Some of his numerous encounters include, being
arrested by the fish commission for fishing without a license,
being banned from McEntire Hall for one semester, playing
hockey and "hall ball" in the corridors of High Hall, taking off for
New York City with Mad Dog and the boys and drinking 19
pitchers of beer at the Steak and Brew on 51st Street, having keg
parties in his room last year every Friday night, and beating the
living hell out of the two cars he's had up here, a Ford Mustang
which died over the summer, and a Ford station wagon which is in
the process of dying, now.
If you see anyone basking in the sun on "Pebble Beach" on
the roof of High Hall, or riding in the snow down through campus
on a dining hall tray, you'll know it's probably Jersey.
Look for more after spring break. You could be the next Face
in the Crowd.

To the Editor:
Dear Ms. May,
In response to your letter
of March 10, 1976, which
appeared in the Eagle Eye
addressed to Ms. Thomas, I
am sure that the majority of
students and faculty at
L.H.S.C. approve and support
the campus Hotline "Receiving," and I am also sure that
Ms. Thomas knows and approves of its existence.
However, the Women's
Group Ms. Thomas is promoting is intended to be a

To the Editor:
In regard to the controversy concerning Ms. Akeley's
review of "The Night Thoreau
Spent in Jail," I wish to
support Ms. Akeley's right to
her opinions. I saw the play
and arrived independently at
much the same opinions as she
expressed in her review which
was honest, fair and well-written.
Sincerely,
V.A. Martin

To the Editor:
Just a note on Kris May's
letter. I feel Receiving should
be better understood and
utilized to a larger extent, but I
don't think that our very
limited campus services to
people in emotional need
should see themselves in
competition with one another.
Receiving is essentially a
resource for students who feel
themselves in critical need of
anonymous information and
attention from others. What
Margo is proposing is a

Karate team competes
in Garden tournament

By BILL STERNER
Staff Reporter
TTie Lock Haven Karate
team traveled to Madison
Square Gardens in New York
this past weekend to compete
in the I2th annual U.S. Open
Karate Tournament. The results of the match, which
carried a field of over 2,000
competitors, was very encouraging to the relatively young
team.
"I was personally pleased," commented martial mentor Fred Destolfo. "We did
very well considering our lack
of tournament experience. I
feel that we couldn't have
went to a finer tournament for
competition," he said.
The team didn't have a
member who captured one of
the four division trophies,
however, three competitors
came away with excellent
finishings in their weight
classes.
In the White-Gold division at heavyweight, Walt
Hulik finished in a three-way
knot for eighth place out of a
field of one hundred hard-nosed qualifiers. The impressive
Hulik needed only one more
bout win to become a finalist.
The lightweight class of
the White-Gold division also
saw winners from the club.
Chuck Hill and Kurt Weaver
dotted the upper finishers with
a seventh and an eleventh
place, respectively. Hill needed only one more win to be an
assured trophy winner for the
club. Weaver finished a narrow two bout decisions away
from the finals.
DeStolfo, though pleased
with the overall team performance, felt that the lack of
tournament experience was
very evident.
"Some juttery fear and
the lack of experience showed
in some of the competitors,"
he said. "The Gardens was
jammed with wall to wall
screaming people. That makes
it very difficult to concentrate," he added.
The inexperience of the
team, however did not do
anything to the courage of the
individuals. The tournament

fighting, which was to be
light-moderate contact, turned
into blood baths during several
of the matches. Penalty points
peppered the afternoon in
several of the tough encounters.
The young club, however,
held up well under the increased pressure. "It was very
pleasing to see the amount of

Indoor soccer
scheduled
All those soccer buffs who
can't get their fill of fall soccer
can enter a team for intramural indoor soccer. The indoor
soccer play is scheduled to
begin immediately following
spring break on March 31.
Rosters are due to be handed
in by today, March 12 in Mr,
Burdett's office (Zimmerii
HI).
Intramural indoor soccer
this spring will be for both
men's and women's teams.
The rosters should have a
maximum of eight persons,
games will be played using
four players and one goalie.
This year's indoor soccer
competition, unlike last
spring's, which had one night
of competition for men's teams
only, will probably be scheduled for several night of competition and will include women's intramural teams. •

Lock Haven State's women's swim team made its
best showing yet at the
Eastern Regional Swimming
meet. This year's meet was
held at the University of
Pittsburgh March 5-6. The
swimmers participating were
Selma Bjorklund, Becky Elliott, Bev Hofman Becky
Loughin and Peggy Schaal.
Becky Elliott made the
consolation finals and placed
13th in the 50 yard backstroke
event. A new varsity record
was set by the 400 yard medley

Women's softball is on a
club basis this year, but are
hoping for eventual athletic
varsity status. Since the club
has no equipment of its own,
they are borrowing equipment
from the state. The club is
trying tO organize scrimmages
with teams from players' home
towns.
How did the softball club
get organized? A few interested people got together and
saw Ms. Sharon Taylor who
told them the procedure for
SCC approval. A constitution
was then drawn up and
approved by the SCC.
Presently, scheduling,
facilities, and officiating are
being set up by a five-member
student committee.
The advisor of the softball
club is Ms. Virginia Martin
who supervises and travels
with the team.
