Vol XK No. 25 Lock Haven State College Tuesday, Jan. 24.1978 •mmmmmmemm SNOW, Lock Haven students Dig It! by BETSY M O N T A N Y A Students returning to Lock Haven on Tuesday encountered what has been termed the worst snow storm in nine years. Snow and ice coyered the roadways making it difficult for many students to return to school. The city, for the first time in several years called in reinforcements to supplement their overtaxed removal force. College maintenance crews began work at 4am. Wednesday morning in an effort to clean sidewalks and steps as well as the roadways. Maintenance utilized three plows, a front-end loader and two trucks to remove the 10 inches of snow. The clean-up job enabled classes to begin on schedule Dr. Francis N. Hamblin explained to the Express that there were more problems in closing the college because of the snow than with keeping it open. Thus LHS remained open despite the severe weather conditions. Once again, early Friday morning the snow fell, leaving another ten inches on the ground. Although maintenance tried to remove this snow as quickly as possible, Jim Meckley, assistant maintenance supervisor, noted that the snow was being "franpled down faster than it could be shoveled off... we finally gave up." The all-day snow on Friday in conjunction with slippery streets, resulted in the cancellation of many classes. On Saturday, students custodians, local tradesmen, as well as the maintenance crew came out in mass force to begin the final clean-up on the lower parking lots. On Sunday, crews cleared the upper parking lots, while two North Hall students, Ruth Patton and John "Tazz" Oleskey shoveled the walks and stairs leading up to North Hall. Law Enforcement worked in conjunction with maintenance crews to clear the parking lots of student vehicles. They did this by checking campus registration stickers to identify the owners of the vehicles. In those dorms equipted with loudspeaker systems, announcements urged, car owners to move their vehicles to lower parking lots. Security officer Gren- ninger commented that halt managers and counselors were of a "tremendous help"4n the search for car owners. Mr. Meckley noted that the problem which now remains is where to put the snow. Previously, it was moved behind Zimmerii and because that area is now filled to capacity with snow, it is now being moved to Jack Stadium parking lot. Weaver and Dick report on CAS Conference by SUSAN SHELLY Bills concerning a lower drinking age in Pennsylvania, decriminalization of marijuana, anti-abortion laws, and the Keystone University Act which would form a board of governors designed to operate state owned colleges, were major topics discussed at the CAS conference held early in January at the Governor's Hotel in Harrisburg. Colin Weaver, SCC second vice president, and Robbin Dick, parliamentarian, represented Lock Haven State College, as CAS lobbeyed for the drinking age and marijuana revisions, and the formation of the board of governors, and opposed the anti-abortion bill. Some of these bills have already passed the state Senate and will supposedly go before the House of Representatives sometime this month. Other issues discussed at the conference were student consumerism, minoiity boards, faculty evaluations, voter registration, off-campus housing and capital appropriations, which include renovation and improvements. CAS has three boards; the presidential, minority and coordinator, represented by the student government president, CAS coordinator and minority representative from each Pennsylvania state college and university. The three boards meet seperately and then recommend procedures to the entire CAS body. Weaver attended as proxy for SCC president, Joseph Harper, and Dick accompanied him as advisor. Voter registration evoked the most enthusiasm from Weaver and Dick, who both said they feel there is a strong need for student involvement in city govern- ment. Plans are underway for a voter registration campaign, and Dick stated, "I hope to have a representative from this school in city government by the end of 1978." Both Weaver and Dick were less than satisfied with the response of several state legislators who attempted to explain the higher education system in Pennsylvania to people at the conference. "It was quite a mess." stated Weaver. "Not one of those legislators could feed us a straight line; they all had to lie to us." trm***************.********!!'

[Plioto by PAUL ANTRAM.] page2 EAGLEEYE COMMENTARY No More Tokens Appointing an "Associate D i r e c t o r " of Athletics to direct women's sports is an evasion by the LHSC administration of the spirit of Title IX legislation. It will not give equality to the women's sports program. What is needed instead is the appointment of Co-Directors of men's and women's athletics. As it stands now, the proposed "Associate Director" will report to Dr. Eberle, the present Director of Athletics, whose principal responsibility will be to direct the men's athletic program. This will assure the continued dominance of men's ath- letics. In addition, the "Associate Director" will not be given parity in salary and in released time. Since the director of women's athletics would be carrying an equal load, parity in these two areas should be guaranteed: "Equal pay for equal work." The directors of men's and women's athletics should be equal in power, pay, status and released time. Each should have one-half the responsibilities^ a 50% share in decision-making, and equal released time and salary (excluding seniority). Without these changes, the appointment of a director of women's athletics is tokenism and guarantees the continues inferiority of the status of women on this campus. This appointment affects every woman on the campus and the Women's Resource Organization urges action to protect our rights. We must notify Dr. Hamblin and the Board of Trustees that we do not approve the appointment of merely an "Associate Director" of Athletics. Women's Resource Organization Senior Wins $500 Scholarship by J I M RUNKLE Editor-ln-Chief Tina Brooks, a senior at Lock Haven State College received a $500 scholarship last Thursday. The Lock Haven branch of the American Association of University Women provided the funds for the scholarship which was presented to Brooks by Dr. Romeo, a chairperson of the AAUW's fellowship committee. The scholarship is awarded yearly by the AAUW, and the money is raised primarily through the group's annual Book sale and Calendar sale. The money is awarded yearly, to a local woman attending Lock Haven State College. Tina Brooks, who is student teaching this semester, stated that she was extremely happy to receive the award. by CARLA EATON The Lock Haven Siate College EAGLE EYE AN INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER The Eagle Eye is published twice weekly by Student Publications of Lock Haven State College.

What's more, I admit I wish I could get every single one of you hooked on taking trips, real trips - the travel kind. Traveling is one of the most mind altering experiences in existence and those who don't try it will never know the thrill of new people, new faces and new ideas. Traveling first class is truly an expensive habit, but via back-packs, hostels, friends, rail passes, tours, NUS discounts,..., nearly everyone can afford to see the world or at least a part of it. Those who profess to being too poor are on the most part procrastinating. To use an old adage, "Where there's a will, there's a way." The students of Lock Haven State are fortunate in having easy access to a wide variety of travel opportunities. The Office of international Exchange offers not only Inexpensive methods to study or teach in foreign countries, but also offers information on ali types of budget travel. A very special travel package will be available COPING by MARY THORSON LinesJines...and more lines.... As I write I stand about fiftieth in what seems like an endless line to receive my meal ticket. I've been standing here for at least a half hour and I ask myself if the cafeteria food is really worth it. Maybe I'd be better off starving. But I've never been much of a quitter, or maybe I'm just a masochist, and so I wait. And wait. And wait... Meanwhile, I overhear bits and pieces of various conversations being carried on by the other bored, impatient crazies, most of which are in the form of desperate complaints and gripes about their immediate situation. "Get used to it," I warn them. I should know. I've been a student here for three years, at least 25 percent of which, it seems, has been spent waiting in lines. By far the biggest treat of all is fighting your way through the crowds in the bookstore during the first week of classes, and wasting hours in lines to buy books and cash checks, not to mention the infinite lines of people downstairs in the PUB to have ID'S validated. Well, I have to stop writing now. Seems I'm next in line already. Time sure flies, [chuckle, chuckle.] Happy line-standing! College Players' Major Production is Chosen by RICHARD KLINE This semester the College Players major production will be "The Good Doctor" by Neil Simon as adapted and inspired by the stories of Anton Chekhov. The play will be student directed by Cecilia Belmont. Auditions will be held this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 7:00 pm. in Sloan 321. The auditions will be private and all people auditioning are asked to have two readings, one serious and one comic, for their auditions. These should each be between two and five minutes long, and need not be memorized. Belmont said that, if possible, she would like the women auditioning to take their serious reading from Chekhov's " T h e Three SistersI' She also said that she hopes a lot of people audition, especially people who have not acted here before. There is one copy of "The Good Doctor" in the reserve room in the library. this spring for LHS instrumentalists. The band directors of Lock Haven and Bloomsburg have arranged for a joint concert tour scheduled for May 20-31 St. Participating students will present concerts in various cities of Italy. Concert sites will be the beautiful city of Rome, Bari, L'Aquila, and the Temple of Minerva in Assisi. Between concerts sightseeing will also include Pompeii, Sorrento, Florence, and Lucara. Steamer will carry the musicians to the Isle of Capri. The band does not have the funds to cover the cost (remember, they couldn't even get money for away games) so each musician will pay his way. The cost will be $765.00 which is extremely reasonable for all it includes. The total covers round-trip airfare, hotel accomodations, transportation museum fees, and two meals a day for the 1 ; days. Everything possible has been done to keep the cost minimal. Anyone who is interested in this unique experience should contact Mr. Caimi immediately. Rehearsals will be starting soon. Remember, no way can this type of accomodation and travel be matched on an individual basis. For those who aren't musicians please check into the other types of travel bargains offered. Co on exchange or go on your own, but go. There is a whole other world out there just waiting to be experienced. Get hooked.

Are the students reading less or buying more books in the bookstore?" Dr. Zaharis has been, criticized by the SCC for instigating an ROTC program on campus without asking for their views on the issue. When asked for his reaction to this. Dr. Zaharis replied, "I have no guilt feelings. It has not been customary to go to the SCC about such things." Dr. Zaharis believes that his biggest accomplishments so far at Lock Haven State have been the opening of the Academic Advisory Center, the new retention standards and the closing of Akeley School. ' 'The closing of Akeley was a n important step" he explained, " b e c a u s e it made the building available to us when we really needed office space I' Dr. Zaharis feels the most challenging problem he is currently being faced with is in finding a replacement for Dr. Milliken.

He went on to say that the Pennsylvania state college system isi much, better off than that of Massachusetts, both physically and financially, and his first impression of Lock Haven State was a "very pleasing o n e . " When asked if this first impression had changed in the IVj years since he's been here, he replied, "If anything, it's improved." Dr. Zaharis feels that the student body at Lock Haven State, as a whole, seems to have a much better attitude toward education than those in Massachusetts. He stated, "The students here seem to be more concerned about learning and getting the most out of their education. That's a healthy sign." He went on to say, however, that many students are not taking the full initiative for academic progress. "They don't see their advisors, and then when they're short a few credits to graduate they expect me to make special exceptions for them, and I can't always do that... It's like they're transferring the monkey from their back to my back." Dr. Zaharis also feels that the library is not being used well.

Zaharis is indeed a thinking, feeling human being. Bom in Westbrook, Maine, and educated at the University of Oklahoma and Kansas State University, he was awarded memberships in several honor societies and professional societies, including the American Association for Advancement of Science and the American Association of University Professors. Directly prior to coming to Lock Haven in July, 1976, Dr. Zaharis served as Dean of Academic Affairs at North Adams State College in Massachusetts. When asked to compare the two colleges.

This season has been a losing nightmare for the varsity squad, but this very hard earned victory sweetened the sour grapes a bit. The victim was powerful Edinboro State which had beaten LHS at their court in an earlier encounter; they fell in overtime 65-63. Outclassed but not to be denied, the scrappy squad rallied from a 29-24 halftime deficit to tie the contest 52-52 with only 2:31 remaining. A stingy defense kept the Scots at bay and at the end of regulation time the score stood at 56 points a piece. A tremendous effort by LHS^ without players Thompson in overtime, Dave Roth for the game, and Dave Hendershot on account of departure, overwhelmed a star-studded Edinboro team in overtime with two seconds left. Ken Richter sank a cool twenty footer to clinch the win. Foul shooting in bonus situations played a major role in LH's failure to break away from the tight nail-biting spectator's delight. The Scots placed four men in double figures, while the Bald Eagles were paced by outstanding Ken Richter's 21, withAl Holtzer pumping 13 and Tom Huff 11. This victory had been the first in 11 attempts. Before LHSC Track Season Opens January 28 Scots In Overtime Womans Basketball Team Begins Season by Beating Alumni by KATHY MURRAY On Saturday, Jan. 20, at 1:00 pm. a women's basketball game between LHS Women's Varsity and LHS alumni was scheduled. There was one problem however. Old man weather was up to his tricks again and apparently the alumni had difficulty being punctual. In fact, none of the alumni were present at the beginning of the game. Coach Kyle Cornelius decided to have a J.V. and Varsity scrimmage. Before the game progressed for any length of time few alumni were integrated into the game and proceeded to make their presence felt. Returning alumni were: Barbara Collins, class of '75; Jo Lereus, class of '75; Pat Ogle, class of '76; and Mary Rotz, da^s of '71. Though the varsity took an early lead it was a close game right down to the last few seconds. The final score was 68-66. The LHS Varsity had proved their competency despite the fact that three starters were missing from the line-up. Those varsity players absent were Mary Flug, who has been out with a knee injury; Kathy Landis, sidelined with ankle problems; and Diane Tolemko who was at home for personal reasons. It is still uncertain when Flug and Landis will be returning at full strength. High scores for the alumni were Pat Ogle with 21 pts. and Mary Rotz with 10. Ogle was also high rebounder with 10. For the Varsity Bea Hanry and Lisa Hand scored 16 and 14 pts. respectively. Lois Kapp, Bea Henry and Lisa Hand each collected four rebounds. Over Christmas vacation the Women's Varsity team was in two tournaments. The first was the "Kean College Christmas Classic" in New Jersey. Four teams participated: Kean, Slippery Rock. William Pater.on and LHS. In the first game. LHS fell to Kean 49-67. High scorers were Sandy Koteckie with 12 pts. and Diane Tolemko with 10. In the second game LHS tiounced William Paterion 90-40. Three LHS players scored in double figures: Landis 20 pts. Fleig 18 pts. and Tolemko 16 pts. LHS placed third overall. The second tournament was the Towson Invitational in Maryland.
