Big deal-right'' You're darn right it's a big d e a l ' For one thing, Pennsylvania's efforts to promote student registration is surprisingly advanced and nia> even be setting a precedent. State Education Secretary John C. Pittenger has declared " T h e Supreme Court's rulings hich granted 18 to 20 year olds the right to vote will have little impact on our system of government if we do not make explicit efforts to help students register and v o t e . " There are currently about 185,000 public high school students and 300,000 college students who are within the 18-20 voting age in the Commonwealth and state officials have called for voting registration centers to be set up in all Pennsylvania high schools and colleges for their use. P A . MAY BE UNIQUE Statements i-.y officials and figures are all very nice but what good can any efforts be to promote student registration and voting for students who don't seem to give two cents about it? Believe it or not, if that be your concern, Byron Hansford, secretary of the Council of Chief State School Officers in Washington, has stated that as far as he knows no other state is making such a concerted effort for s t u d e n t s . In fact, more than one and a half million college s t u d e n t s , including 800,000 in New York, still lack, the option of registering from their campus add r e s s e s . The students in Pennsylvania have got the opportunity to register and to vote for an official they'd like to see running this countr\' layed right in their laps.

Fire alarms went off s o softly that occupants of Woolridge did not realize immediately that there was a fire. Student Draft Dodgers Depend on Melvin Defense Secretary Melvin Laird's announcement made in his August 28 press conference marks the near fulfillment of the Nixon Administration's efforts to end Military conscription. The announcement disclosed a possible end of draft inductions by this December, six months before the previously s e t July 1 deadine. The draft wind-down is part of a four year effort to replace the draft with a volunteer army. ....1969-Immediately after the presidential inauguration Nixon established the Gates Commission to study the draft, the feasibility of an all-volunteer army, and recommended measures needed to make the transition. While working to eliminate conscription, the Administration modified the draft system through the Draft Reform Bill introduced in May and Executive Orders. The modifications included: 1. The local selection proc e s s was ended through the adoption of the draft lottery system. 2. The seven year period of vulnerability to the draft, 19 to 26 years of a g e , was reduced to one. In June of the same year a nation-wide system of Youth Advisory Committees with a branch in each of the 50 states w a s set to E T S . Prospective teacher.s shouldcontact the school systems in which they seek employment, or their colleges, for specific advice on which examinations to take and on which d a t e s they should be taken.

Two good things happened to LHS football so far this year. Mike Packet had a tryout with the New York Jets and although they didn't keep him on the forty man squad, they gave him a contract and he could be recalled at any time. If he isn't called up this year, he will report to their training camp next summer. The New York press took an immediate liking to Mike and his prospects for making the team next year look fairly bright. The second good thing is a bit tainted but can be considered a s good anyway. Lock Haven was mentioned in a Sports Illustrated article by Dan Jenkins. We were right up there with Colorado, Nebraska, Notre Dame, and Penn State. Actually we were mentioned closer to S.M.U. and Baylor. What Mr. Jenkins really said was that he would rather watch fourteen straight fumbled punts in a muddy game between L.H.S. and Clarion or forty-seven straight incompletions in a game between Baylor and S.M.U. than watch Babe Ruth hit a home run. Granted, it's not the greatest publicity in the world, but it can be said that we were mentioned in a national Sports magazine. By the end of this year, it's very possible that Mr. Jenkinj may. want to watch a L.H.S. football game simply for it's good quality. For the second straight year,L.H.S. has a good football team. To start with, for the third straight year, our Homecoming game is scheduled for our home field. This feat almost elimina t e s memories of the year when our Homecoming game was scheduled away. However, there are more tangible reasons for optimism this year. The most tangible of these is the defense. HARDER TO PENETRATE THAN... This year's defense is going to be harder to penetrate than the cafeteria's b i s c u i t s . The defensive line is returning intact. Mike Colligan and Mel Abel will be the defensive ends with either Bob Seale ot Hairy " T a n k " Sherman at one tackle and Tom Zimmerman at the other one. Mel and Mike have been known to be very discourteous when their opponents have tried end runs. They have a l s o been known to personally introduce enemy quarterbacks to the mud which abounds at the Spring Street Stadium. Often they have felt that many introductions were neccessary. Bob Seale showed great promise last year and should be enough to give enemy ball carriers second thought >about running off-tackle p l a y s . " T a n k " Sherman is a petite 280 pounder who should give the opposition a simulated demonstration of what it is like to be pinned by Chris Taylor. Tom Zimmerman will be the mainstay of the line as he is a seniot ptepating for his fourth year of varsity competition. LHS OFFERS THE BEST If the opposition is looking for a weakness in the linebacking due to the loss of Barre Yeager, it shouldn't get its hopes up. Thelinebackingfoursome of Simcoe-Yeager-McNelisKnarr has been replaced by the linebacking threesome of KnarrMcNelis-Simcoe. The additional man will be placed in the secondary. Doug Williams, Alan Anderson, Chuck Vennie and the Glass brothers; Chuck and Steve, will all see action in those four spots. These 11 men are the best at their assigned t a s k s that the Western Conferrence has to offer. RUNNING GAME SHOWS PROMISE Mike Packer is gone and Tommy Allen is hurt, but there are bright spots in the offensive picture. One particularly V ^ L luminous area is the running back position. Chuck Vennie and Frank Geiger will be the wingbacks and Bob Kline will be at fullback. Vennie has an elusiveness that hasn't been seen on this campus since President Hamblin's meeting with the students about Coach Christopher's denial of tenure. Chuck ls playing both ways this year and its just possible that the school's first member of the ECAC All Star squad will make the team at two positions this year. Frank Geiger compliments Vennie's speed with his power running. Frank doesn't particularly care whether he runs around or over people but the important thing is that he gains yardage either way. Bob Kline Lou Savani or Wayne Hoffman should be able to take up most of the slack. Both of t h e s e recievers have speed and experience on their side. The other end spot is no problem. Skip Haley looks small to begin with, but he must look even smaller to the opposition's defensive backfield when they try to tackle him. A word to the wise would be to take a good look at Skip during the playing of the National Anthem because that's the only time that he'll be standing still. The rest of the time he'll be zigging and zagging his way toward the end zone. This year's passing attack will lose something because of the loss of Mike Packer, but the running game should be stronger. Ed McGill has a good arm, but he has the misfortune of following probably the greatest quarterback LHS will ever have. Ed does have his own superior talents, however. He is mote mobile than Mike was, and this should be a plus in an attack that is set up for the run. Since McGill does have good running ability, the enemy's defense will have to worry about four runners instead of the two they had to worry about last year. OFFENSE IS IN THE RUNNING There is the least publicized , but most pivotal area of the whole team, the offensive line. Pivotal this year, because this is the place hit hardest by graduation. Pivotal also, because without a good offensive line, a team that centers its offense on the run comes up one step below the Republican bugging squad on the most successful list. Luckily, however, LHS has the personnel to take up the slack left by graduation. Terry Mantle will be at center this year. Dave Welshans and Terry Szucs will be the guards. There are three candidates for the.two tackle spots; Gill Brown, John Buckley, and Dave Love. HITTING THE TOUGHIES FIRST The Bald Eagles open this Saturday at home against Westminster College. The Titans have won 21 games in a row. They had an 8-0 record last year after winning the National Title in 1970. Nobody can say that LHS saves its toughest games for last. This Saturday's game could well be the best of the season. If ths lEagles maki
