Miller's hearing in Harrisburg yesterday. President Richard T . Parsons represented the college, and both he and Miller presented their c a s e s to Dr. George Hoffman, a s s i s t a n t secretary of education. The hearing was another s t e p in Miller's fight to be reinstated on LHS's faculty from which he was dismissed last May for " i m m o r a l i t y " and possible " a c t s in violation of l a w . " When asked the basis of his c a s e . Miller replied: " I t is my contention that the charges a g a i n s t me have no s u b s t a n c e . The procedures violated my c o n s t i tutional rights and the rules of the c o l l e g e . " Dr. P a r s o n s ' stand has remained unchanged. He stated that " a s a college president, 1 cannot permit a faculty member to get paid $1500 with no proof of doing Reinstatement 'I( have no faith in the faculty's ability to stand up to Dr. Parsons. He spit in their faces, and they stood by giggling and waiting for permission to wipe the spittle off.' -Harry I. Miller any work. Furthermore, this faculty member teaches American government, and 1 don't know how any student could go to him for instructions when he received federal money and didn't do any work." The department of education h a s heard the c a s e , and the final decision will be rendered by Dr. Kurtzman, secretary of education. The LHS board of directors, however, can overrule this decision. Present at the hearing were Dr. David Kurtzman, secretary of education; Dr. Fred Miller, commissioner of higher BOOK RUSH: For the first time, a security guard will be on duty as students purchase new books this education; Warren Morgan, deputy attorney general; an AAUP (American Association of University Professors) repres e n t a t i v e , and Ambrose Campana, Miller's attorney. When asked about the possibility of faculty support in the event that the department of education upholds the decision of the local board of trustees and refuses to recommend h i s reinstatement, Mr. Miller said: "I have no faith in the faculty's ability to stand up t o Dr. P a r s o n s . He spit in their faces and they stood by giggling and waiting for permission to wipe the spit off." In a major dormitory change during the summer, the Lock Haven State administration has approved a much more liberal women's hours policy than was previously in practice at the college. An unprecedented privilege has been extended to juniors and senior resident women. Miss Evelyn M. Nicholson, LHS dean of women, approved a recommendation that these women be given permission for unlimited hours on Saturday nights. The approved recommendation, passed by the Women's Residence Hall Association, also called for later sign-in times for all women students. For the first time, freshmen coeds will have extended privileges. They will be permitted to remain outside the dormitory until 10:30 pm during the first nine weeks of the beginning semester. Following this time period, the women may stay out until 11 pm. In 1967, freshmen women were required to be in the residence halls at 9 pm; last year the time was extended one-half hour. However, if a freshmen coed receives any low mid-semester grades, these privileges will be restricted. Upperclass women will also benefit from the new r.egulations. Formerly 10:30 pm was the curfew during the week. This year, sophmores have been given a midnight sign-in time; juniors are not required to be back in the dorm until 1 am. Over the weekends, sophmores have even later hours — 1:30 am week. This measure became necessary because of the robbery which occurred this summer. Shoplifting w a s on Friday and 2:30 am on Saturday. Juniors and seniors living in the dorm must be in at 2 am Friday. Sunday hours are midnight for all women. Senior women living off campus have unlimited hours for every evening. Library Chaotic Chaos still reigns at LHS libraries, however, there are certain procedures which can help the student withdraw books. All reference books, reserved books, periodicals, and the card catalogue are still located in the old library. All other books are now in the new Stevenson Library. The procedure for acquiring library books was outlined by Bruce Thomas, librarian. Students are to utilize the card catalogue in the old library and submit a list of books needed to the librarian. Students can then pick up their books three times daily. If the list is submitted in the morning the students can pick up their books at noon. Those students who submit books by noon can expect delivery by three; three o clock submissions by six ; and those lists submitted after six can be picked up the next morning. Library hours have a l s o been extended this year. The library will be open from 7:30 am to 10 pm weekdays; 7:45 am to 4 pm Saturday; and 2 to 10 pmon Sunday. prevalent last year, said bookstore officials, and this was another factor for the guard's presence.

Raymond Frank Zale, physical education major, was charged with burglary and William Frederick Carpenter, senior elementary major, was charged with receiving stolen goods. Both were arraigned before alderman Samuel Walker on the felony charges. There are approximately 12 other college s u s p e c t s in the c a s e . Richard Bressler, the county probation officer, took charge of the juvenile suspects. According to Monroe Hurwitz, bookstore manager, a p proximately $300 in merchandise was stolen from the bookstore. Entry to the bookstore was gained through the roof. Suspects climbed down pipes in the air conditioning system and lifted the tiles from the ceiling. Several items such a s gym b a g s , c l a s s rings, magazines, records, and a silver mug have already been recovered. After LHS officials identified two students invoK^d, the c a s e was turned over to the s t a t e police for further investigation According to Francis Cornelius, dean of men, the s t u d e n t s ' parents have been notified. Cornelius stated that " I am also disturbed by the emotional impact this matter had not only on those involved, but also on the parents of the arrested, t e a c h e r s , a d v i s o r s , and others in close contact with t h e m . " College officials will take no disciplinary actions until the court hands down its d e c i s i o n . To discourage further incidents of this nature, Hurwitz h a s undertaken several preventive s t e p s . Students must leave all outer wear, books, notebooks, and brief-cases outside the bookstore on the book racks and c l o t h e s racks provided. Also for the first time at LHS, security guards will be on duty in the bookstore during book rush.

Editorial Correction: In yesterday's editorial entitled "Disaster or Growth," the statement was made that "He {Harry I. Miller) himself admitted that he did ^egligiblef work on the government project for which he was paid." In clarification Eagle Eye would like to substitute the word "contribution" for the word "work." Miller did admit that his actual contribution to the final report was "negligible, " but it was further contended that he did do actual research work on the .project itself.
