Vol. XXIV N o : ^ Lock Haven State College SCC Handles Big MoneySi Million A Year By PAM YOBLONSKI Nem Editor One miUion dollars passes through the hands of the SCC throughout the year. According to Don Beaver, Treasurer of the SCC. this is students' money. The amount includes total sales from the bookstore and Eagle Wing Snack Bar, plus the revenues from the activity fee. This figure could be misleading, though. It doesn't mean the SCC has one mUlion doUars to spend. This figttre represents the amount of money the SCC handles throughout the year for day-to-day transactions. These transactions include allocations of money to smaU clubs and committees, and money brought in from athletic events, the bookstore, and snack bar. The finance committee. headed by Beaver, consists of four members. Beaver said their job is to "allocate the revenues." They prepare a budget for the SCC, and this budget is then voted on by the senate. The students on the finance committee aren't required to have a background in money management, even though such a large sum of money is involved. There is an accountant and a financial advisor to help the committee. The SCC's anticipated income is $300,380.00 .Seventypercent of this is from activity fees. Other sources, such as the bookstore and snack bar, run on a break-even basis. The profit from the bookstore is used to remove it from ite 40,000 doUar debt, a goal which has been reached. Beaver said that he doesn't foresee a substantial increase in book prices; the mark-up won't be as much because the bookstore won't owe as much. The SCC funds athletics, organizations, buys books for the bookstore, suppUes for the snack bar, and more. Their total allocations, according to the budget, are $300,380.00. This doesn't include books and snack bar expenses, however. The SCC money is collected and channeled back to the students in the form of concerts and activities. It is this constant bringing-in and paying-out procedure which brings the amount up to one milUon dollars. Beaver said the SCC is in a financiaUy good position, saying thatthe "SCC is on its feet again.'' They broke even this year, but according to Beaver, they couldn't withstand a large biU. He said, "We stiU need a stronger financial ground." Vending Revenues DoubleStrengthens SCC's Budget ByDAWNMELE The total revenue from all washers, dryers and vending machines on campus has doubled since last year, -according to PUB Director Howard Reynolds. This money provides a substantial amount of finances for the SCC. Before this year. Lock Haven Laundry Service had provided the washing machines and dryers for the campus. Even though equipment and servicing were poor, LHSC continued to do business with Lock Haven Laundry Service for about 20-25 years. Howard Reynolds, Director of the Student Union, said that until Gerald Getz came into office as the SCC President, the laundry problem had been ignored. In an effort to improve this problem a closer look was taken at the overall situation. Lock Haven Laundry Service had been complaining about their 10-15 year old vandaUzed washers and dryers, even though $300.00 per month was taken out before commission, to cover vandaUsm and service on the machines. Students were complaining that they could not get their clothes cleaned and dried in the decrepit machines and LH Laundry Service didn't supply efficient maintenance for the upkeep of these machines. The decision to accept private bids for supplying and servicing LHSC laundry equipment had been long awaited. Gerald Getz, SCC President, said that the quality and the amount of service offered was the basis for deciding which laundry service received the bid. The new service, Amsden Laundry, instaUed all new washers and dryers on campus, doubUng the number of old ones. They provide 24 hour servicing for the machines and do not require a surcharge each month to cover vandalism. The vending machines on campus didn't pose as much of a problem as the laundry equipment, but service and maintenance for these machines were improved also. LHSC had employed two vending machine companies to serve the c a m p u s ; Rosamilia Vending Co. and Macke Vending Co. shared this responsibiUty. LHSC accepted a bid from the Rosamilia Co., over the Macke Co., to take over service and maintenance of all the machines on campus. They would provide better service with a shorter four year contract than Macke Companies poorer service and seven year contract. The Rosamilia Company also purchased new machine specially equipped for handicapped students« Tuesday, October 21, 1980 Library Has Fuii Staff BY PAM SHANEBROOK A student census shows that Stevenson Library is busier during weekdays than on nights or weekends. According to Robert Bravard, Director of the Library, the flow of students during the nights and weekends would not justify a need for more Ubrary employees. A student census is conducted every night by the Ubrary staff. This is performed to see if the use of the library has increased or if it needs to expand its services. Mr. Bravard stated that he observes "spotty patterns of library u s a g e . " Bruce Thomas, head of Reader Service, and Bravard both agreed the heaviest nighte are Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The library's seating capacity is 1,000 with a recorded number of 80 accounted for up tiU 9:30 in one night. Mr. Bravard feels "The real islue is not whether the Ubrary is efficientiy staffed, it is behind the question...are students utiUzing it to its fuUest capacity?" There are major staff service points throughout the library. Those points include periodicals, reserve room, reference and main desk which are thoroughly staffed at night between 7:30 and 10:00 when the Ubrary is in most use. The Ubrary has become more of a study hall. Bravard explained,"Since the dorms have failed to enforce quiet hours, studente tend to use the library for s t u d y i n g . " Thomas added, "However it's frustrating to the utiUzation of the staff services. For example if 300 students are using the Ubrary, maybe four require reference service." The Ubrary is open 79.5 hours per week. Stevenson Library has 71 student employees and eight regular personnel staff. Mr. Thomas explained, "We are stuck not with a problem of understaffing, but with schedules. Studente are Umited to six or eight hours with 15 hours at the most; that is why we have a high number employed. To maintain a schedule we must work around that Umitation plus their class schedules." Bravard added, "They must also pay attention to the CBA rule aUowing staff to work only 35 hours per week under their union contract." He felt despite the Umitations of both students and staff the library is provided with enough staff to operate all service points efficiently. At the minimun there wiU be eight student assistante and one adult staff present to operate the Ubrary without confusion. The main desk has the largest utiUzation flow than any other service point. Thomas and Bravard both felt that circulation flow has decreased greatly over the years. They explained this is a national decline displayed throughout aU state coUeges. Lock Haven has kept its circulation fiow stable for the last three years. The reason behind decreased circulation is studente are finding it convenient to use materials within the buUding along with the fact more studente are using the Ubrary as their study and homework bases. Mr. T h o m a s usually notices, "Around mid-terms and exam periods the census average wiU be high every night. After that we find it 'sinks/' The Ubrary rotates around a cycle with peaks that grow and faU according to the academic calendar of studente." Mr. Bravard felt, "There wiU always be someone wanting to use the library no matter how it is staffed or scheduled. The importat thing is that we are adequately staffed to meet student utilization." Alarms Don't Alarm Students By KIM GLASS Students faiUng to respond to fire alarms was the main problem in two dormitory fires last week. Tim Susick, director of North Hall, reported that the cause of the fire in North was a faulty washing machine. According to a counselor in the dormitory, it took idmost 45 minutes for the students to clear the building. When a sizeable number of residents failed to respond to the fire alarm, a second alarm was set off, A room to room check was then conducted by Law Enforcement. Five students were cited for violations of fire alarm regulations. Because some students failed to respond to the fire alarms and evacuate the building, other residents were left standing in the cold, some wearing only bathrobes. A trash can fire occurred in Smith Hall at 4 am Tuesday and was quickly put out according to Don Pearman, the Hall Director. Ironically, Smith Hall had held two fire drills Monday evening. During the first drill it took the residents approximately fifteen minutes to evacuate the building which Pearman feels is entirely too long. He reported a better evacuation time during the second fire drill. Several Hall Directors and Richard Hepner, Director of Law Enforcement and Safe- ty, noted one problem is that the students do not take the fire driUs seriously. They report that some studente fail to reaUze that the fire alarms may be real rather than a driU or a prank. Pearman and Deborah Knorr, Director of Gross Hall, both feel that the fire alarms should be louder and more consistent. Fireman and school officials wish to remind LHSC students that the fire driUs and fire regulations are essential to the safety of all students at Lock Haven. Had these been serious fires, college officials fear that this type of behavior towards fire regulations could result in tragedy. > Tuesday, October 21, 1980 page 2 Editoria I ^itiiti^^i^i(iil^^^i^^^SB€4^Ce^ ^ By JEFF FLEISHMAN EDITOR-IN-CHIEF It seems that Lock Haven State College has two preachers on campus, except they work in the classroom instead of the chapel. The two I speak of teach sociology from a Christian point of view. That's fine if you're a Christian, but a large portion of the population happen to be atheists. These teachers are aiso able to financially support their beliefs since some of the books that are used in their classes are written by them. The issue that concerns the Eagle Eye is not Christianity but rather the violation of the laws of "separation of church and state." The book Sociology; A Reader In Christian Perspectives, and Love and Sex, Are Not Enough are filled with religious overtones. Phases like "I set forth in this book a Christian perspective on dating, courtship, and mate selection", or "I would like to add that what I have to say will be evaluated in the iiglit of the Bible and Christian principles, " weaved through-out the books. Thesi and other phrases clearly illustrate that these books are certainly written from a Christian stand point. Is that stand point violating state schooi teaching ethics? A nd if so, why is it being tolerated at a state college? The Eagle Eye suggests a careful analysis to be taken on these books and that a decision be reached as to whether they violate a students' academic freedom. We aiso would like to note that we are not attacking these men or their beliefs, but rather the methods they are using in teaching their courses. A person beliefs should be respected. The Eagle Eye respects their beliefs, however, we are curious as to whether teaching standands are being violated. Commentary By LOU ALBERSE Congratulations should go out to Gerald Getz and his SCC staff on their preparation for Friday's Molly Hatchet concert. It seems the paper, at times, overlooks the positive aspects of the Getz administration, while searching for those news-shattering faults. I have not been here long enough to critique their entire tenure in office, but their handling of the concert seems impeccable. Molly Hatchet is a big time band that played before 3,(X)0 people here last Friday. The crowd was at least 7,000 people smaller than any other on its 30 stop tour. The SCC brought in a generator to supply power. Electricians were hired. Student security was abundant. An ambulance and fire truck were available in case of an emergency. State police were on stand by. _ .. . ^ .. Radio announcements were made to discourage anyone from coming without a ticket. The doors were opened earlier to prevent a mad rush. The list goes on...

The author compared two major courses in P.E. which have smaU numbers of studente enroUed with general education courses open to aU students regardless of major. This is not a fair comparison. There are many majors in other discipUnes who might find O&A a pretty duU and/or impractical course. What is practical? How can anyone, particularly students who have had Uttle or no experience in the real world make judgments on this? It's amazing how im- Dear Editor, We would Uke to bring your attention to an incident which happened this past weekend. The International Club set a dance date-Oct llth. The president spoke to Debbie Suder of the SCC to make arrangements concerning sound equipment. It was understood that the SCC would provide and set the equipment up for the dance, and a written statement was noted on a calendar. On the night of the dance, no equipment was recieved; no one came to set it up. The security guards could not allow us to have the equipment. They knew a' dance was to take place that night, but they had not received any pdpers which gave authorized permission that the equipment could be removed from storage. Law enforcement made many attempts to get hold of the officers responsible for dance equipment, and we appreciate these efforte. The International Club feels that the SCC is guilty of a breach of contracts. If the ^QQ cannot provide and transport equipment, it can at least give us the necessary written statement.^ which obUgation too. Going to class should not be the same as watching the TV screen ~ a completely passive situation. Mental involvement, concentration and participation wUI allow a Uttle learning to occur. The easiest place to study is in class. Since none of us can say what wiU be useful in the future, make everything important within the context of the classroom. Oiily time wiU tall what is useful to you. Someday you may take up art as a hobby so that that art course you are now taking, and don't Uke, may be very useful. The same could be said for many other courses you are currently taking. Why a college degree? To help you earn a better Uving, but this is only a smaU part of practical courses taken during college are perceived as practical sonie five, ten or fifteen years later. There are many reasons why a course may be good or bad. My opituon is that content is the least vaUd reason for judging a course good or bad. The important aspects of a course are how the professor presente the material, his/her enthusiasm for the subject or lack thereof and his/her abiUty to relate the subject to the real world. The last may be the most difficult to do but this does not necessarily make the subject of Uttle value. Being made to think may be justification for the course. Education is a two-way street. The student has an Soe^fe^ €o €Ae St/t^t^ aUow us to do so ourselves. Apparently, the SCC has never transported their equipment for previous dances this semester. The president was never informed of these situations. Instead, he was assured that the equipment would arrive at the dance without any efforts on his side. We are writing this in the hope that this type of incident wiU not occur to us, nor to any. other club, in the future. The SCC must remember that it is here to be of service to students whenever they require its help. After debating with the security guards, it was finally decided that personal equip-, ment of students should be used in order for the dance to continue. Members of the International Club OOlV' ^A/C ^€lU^t>t *^^***'^*^^^* the picture. CoUege graduates are supposed to be reasonably well rounded in their knowledge of the world by the time they are graduated. This involves knowledge of the past and present. You can't prepare for the future if you don't know about the past I Being educated means too that the person has learned good language usage including writing and speaking. AU of us should Usten to each other speak. All of us should critically analyze our own writing, then we can decide if we are as good as we think we are. If you refuse to learn for whatever reason, no one can teach you anything. • .Paul F. Klens Editorial By ELLEN HEARN MANAGING EDITOR Students are always complaining that there's nothing to do. on campus but when they have the chance to do something about it they do nothing! There is no one on the Social Committee because no one signed up for it. This committee runs Homecoming, concerts (Molly Hatchet), movies, and social events on campus. No one wants to work on these events so no one should complain if they don't turn out well. No one wanted to work on the Homecoming Committee so Bob BuUet, V.P. of the SCC had to ask people to be on it. Then Bob had to organize most of the Homecoming Festivities by himself. And people ask why things for Homecoming were confused. There was only one person running the whole thing. He needed help. He couldn't provide entertainment for everyone for the whole weekend by himself. If you want something done on this campus you have to help out and Take Initiative! College is a time for studying, but it's also a time to learn to organize yourself and learn how to get things done. You can sit back all tnrough college. Studying hard all week and partying hard on the weekends ,and what have you proved? Only that you can get through college. Millions of kids get throush college every yearspoon-fed and coddled ~ having everything done for them.

Tuesday, October 21,1980 page 3 Homecoming BY RICK BAKER The traditional type of homecoming where old alumni gather in a bar after the big football game is slowly fading away. "It seems more and more are returning as members of an organized group," said Alumni Director Nadine Stukel. This year Jim Dolan hosted a reuiuon for approximately 100 cross-country runners, and Max Bossert handled affairs for Lock Haven's 1945 footbaU team, the first team to play footbaU foUowing Worid War II. Fraternities and sororities, as usual welcomed alumni aU weekend said Mrs. Stukel. "The people who return as part of groups all know each other and they have a common bond which ties them together," explanined Mrs. Stukel, "and for the most part they tend to stay in their groups." Dance Winners Announced By MOIRA MCCARTY Do you remeinber the Dance Marathori? WeU, if you don't, it was the 48 hour event during which twenty o"so couples put themselves through sheer torture for charity and fun. The marathon was sponsored by the brothers of Phi Mu Delta Fraternity, and was in it's sixth successful year here at LHSC. The chairman for this year's event was Brian McLaughlin, who was also last year's co-chairman. The organizations that were to benefit from the marathon are the Red Cross, the Infant Development Project, and the Jeffrey Scott Dubois Foundation. These charities .wUl spUt $5300, which is the current amount raised, and there is stiU money coming in. This year, in first place, was Tracee Kulp and her partner Chris Stavino. They raised $675 and wiU receive $500 as prize money. In second place were Zeta Tau Alpha sisters Bess Ann Wiley and Sue Heth, who wiU receive $350. In third place were Tom Ulmer and Becky Laver. They get $200. In fourth place were Don Guiswite and Karen Fascarella, who will get $125. Alpha Sigma Tau sisters Robin Rutter and Amy Joe Hendrix captured fifth and wiU receive $75. It is interesting to note that only $32 seperated the first and second place winners, and 63' between the second and third placers. Phi Mu Delta is planning to continue sponsoring the marathon and hopes becomes a tradition at the college. Reunites In the past older alumni have been the most active members in any activity, but Mrs Stukel and her staff are trying to spread interest into the younger alumni. "We're trying to open up activities that will appeal to all graduates of Lock Haven," said Mrs. Stukel. The Une-up for Homecoming 1980 was an indication of what she meant. Friday aftern o o n the soccer t e a m defeated the University of the District of Coulumbia, and Friday night Molly Hatchet rocked the Haven. Saturday morning the Homecoming parade started at 11:00, with the football game against Shippensburg, and women's cross country meet against George Mason University at 2:00p.m. At halftime of the football game, Brian Royer and Karen Eaches were named H o m e c o m i n g king a n d queen. Mrs. Stukel spent most of her time meeting with Alumni Chapter Representatives. Graduates Workshops and meetings were held to update the representatives on the progress of the college, new prog r a m s , a n d o t h e r improvements that have been made. This was done so that when the alumni return home, they'U have a better idea of what's going on at Lock Haven. Cousteau To Lecture Here By DA VE MARTIN Jean-Michel Cousteau, one of the world's foremost oceanographers and son of the famed Jacques Cousteau, wiU lecture here at Lock Haven State S a t u r d a y , November 1 at 8 pm. The lecture, sponsored by the Cultural Affairs Committee, will be held in P r i c e Auditorium. Formally educated in the study of architecture, JeanMichel Cousteau, along with his father, directed the conversion of the former ocean liner Queen Mary into the w o r l d ' s largest m a r i n e museum, "The Living Sea," in Long Beach, CaUfornia. In the 1960's Cousteau joined his father during numerous ocean expeditions on the vessel Calypso, which were filmed and later aired on the television series "The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau." Cousteau is presentiy VicePresident of Communications and a member of the board of directors of The Cousteau Society, an organization of over 170,000 members. Cousteau's lecture here is an infrequent weekendscheduled event of educational/cultural interest. By arranging this engagement for a weekend, the Cultural Affairs Committee is attempting to help reverse the trend of weekends lacking in major student-enriching opportunities. It hopes that more campus organizations will begin scheduling a greater number of weekend events. The titie of Cousteau's lecture is "Underwater Jungle Law" and wiU include the film "Sharks - Some Truth." The lecture can be attended free of charge. RHA Plans Activities By KELL Y MCBRIDE The Residence Hall Association^ also better Icnown to many LHSC students as the RHA, recently held Executive Board elections and has gotten the 1980-81 activities underway. Under the leadership of Ms. Deb Knorr, hall director of Gross Hall, the new offlcers for the 1980-81 year a r e : Daryl Rosidivito (chairperson), Mike Youse (vice-chairperson), Kelly McBride (secretary), and Karen Culligan (Business Manager). The RHA is composed of all presidents and vice- presidents of the seven dorms, a business manager, ahd an advisor. Besides the many programs now being sponsored in each dorm is a campus-wide ping pong tournament in which the first, second, and third place winners from each dorm wiU meet in a battle for the title of the best ping pong player on campus. This is tentatively scheduled for October 20, 1980 in Zimmerli gymnasium. The RHA holds its regular business meetings every Monday at 8:00 pm in the RHA office, first floor McEntire. Meetings are open to the public. LHSC Hears Platforms By PAM YOBLONSKI Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and John Anderson are not the only candidates mnning for president. Four other, lesser known parties are also sponsoring candidates. These are the Libertarian, Consumer, SociaUst, and Communist parties. AU seven parties were represented at the presidential campaign forum, which was s p o n s o r e d by the History, PoUtical Science, and Economics Club in Bentley Lounge Tuesday. The Eagle Eye asked each representative, "Why do you think your party's candidate should win?" Dave White spoke on behalf of the Democratic Party. He said President Carter has the perception to realize problems and to make the decisions; Carter knows there are " n o quick, easy answers." He stated another plus is that Carter has a realistic view of the world situation and what has to be done. He looks at the problems from the cultural point-of-view, and he is concerned about other people, not only the United States. White said the other parties don't do this. The Democratic candidates are President Carter and VicePresident Mondale. The Democratic platform focuses on increased defense spen- ding, conservation, passage of ERA, legal abortions, and business tax cuts. Steve Reeves, an Independent, credited his party by saying that the Independente see things reaUstically, they "assess society as it is." Their platform opposes the draft, wants a 50-cent-a-gaUon tax increase on gas, favors tax cuts, ERA, and legal abortions. The Independent candidates are John Anderson and Patrick Lucey. The Libertarian Party was represented by Bob Orzechowski, the Libertarian Party Area Coordinator. This party's candidate for president is Ed Clark. In answer to the Eagle Eye's question, Orzechowski repUed that his party beUeves people should be allowed to do what they want, as long as no one else is hurt. He said his party is consistent; they beUeve in civil Uberties and a Umited government. Frank Kinces was the Communist Party's representative. He is that party's candidate for the U.S. Senate from Pennsylvania. Kinces answered the question saying the Communist platform "is a people's platform; it answers the immediate needs of the country." This platform caUs for a six-hour workday, Puerto Rican independence, a labor reform biU, and outlawing of the KKK and Nazi party. The Communist Party's candidates are Gus HaU for president, and Angela Davis for vice-president. Tori E)unn spoke on behalf of the SociaUst Workers Party. She is currently mnning for P e n n s y l v a n i a S t a t e Treasurer. She said her party's candidate should win because the party "represents working people; we beUeve in decisioiu made by the majority." This party's platform is against nuclear power, and for nationaUzation of the energy industry. The presidential candidate is Andrew PuUey, and the vicepresidential candidate is Matilde Zimmermann. Gregg Cunningham, speaker for the RepubUcan Party, and Lakshman Yapa, speaker for the Consumer Party, could not be reached after the forum for questioning. AU seven representatives had time to speak about their party's platforms, and questions were asked afterward. Mr. George MarshaU, VicePresident of Administration, introduced the guests. °"" 33rd ANNIVERSARY^!! •"^P i«> SAVE ON CLOTHING FOR .^^ K I 1 I p.

The floor Ughts were on but the sticky-sweet stench of smoke was already in the air. High schoolers and college students alike were sUpping their brand new Molly Hatchet T-shirts on. Three thousands blank faces stared, waiting. Then it happened. The lights went out and a thunderclap of guitar stormed through the speakers. The sound poured down onto the fans. The heavy metal barrage of sound, color and power that was Nantucket possessed the stage. The crowd clapped, screamed and danced. Someone near the front shoved cotton in his ears whUe the kid beside him shouted, "LOUDER." The vocalist belted out his lyrics and pranced around the stage. The bassist ducked and stomped his way through the Ught show whUe the lead guitarist grinned and jumped up and down. The rhythm guitarist, cliul in a knee length trench coat, trudged and shoved his Gibson through distorted riff after jjower chord. Molly Hatchet guitarist concentrates on the chords. The heavy metal assault continued. Nantucket plowed through tunes from their previous two albums as weU as their new one, "It's a Long Way to the Top." The vocaUst proposed a toast to Photo by Evan Petee Lock Haven and gulped his bottle of Jack Daniels. The band roared on for an encore before leaving the stage. And this was just the warm up band. The floor Ughts came on as swarmed the stage to ready for the main attraction. AC/DC screeched from the speakers at half the volume Nantucket played. The fans passed more joints and drank from their flasks. Everyone was waiting for the boys from Jacksonville, Florida. The roadies finished their work a Molly Hatchet banner above the drum was all you could see. One guitar chord later it began. MoUy Hatchet, the southern boogie band, was here. The three guitars of Dave Hlubeck, Duane Roland and Steve HoUand slashed their way into the heads of everyone present. Jimmy Farrar, who replaced Ronnie Van Zant clone, Danpy Joe Brown on throat, chugged his way through the vocals and wielded his mike stand Uke a knight would his axe. The Hatchet sliced their way through the metaUic mash that is their claim to fame. Any problems the band has with originality they cover up with a raw energy that just won't stop. After three encores, MoUy Hatchet was gone. "Lock Haven State will never be the same," said Farrar after slurping up some Jack Daniels. He just might be right.

An Interview With Nantucket The Songs, The Bands, The Crowds ing lot. The crowd was in good spirits and there was much evidence of partying. At six-thirty the doors to Thomas Fieldhouse were opened and the ticket-takers started letting people in slowly. Every coat was frisked and every bag was opened. It took a while, and the Une never got smaller, but the Fieldhouse slowly became a giant mass of sweaty humanity. When Nantucket took the stage at eight o'clock the smoke was so thick it burned your eyes and when they , started to play the noise was so loud it hurt your ears. Nantucket played hard, loud, clear driving rock and roll for over an hour. The crowd loved it. • Then came Molly Hatchet. They turned up the sound until you couldn't think and the lyrics became a distorted hodgepodge of non-sensical mutterings. The security force in front of the band put cotton in their ears and several hundred people decided to find someplace quieter to go. "Hatchet" played two hard-driving sets and three , encores. It was loud and it was crazy and people were screaming and dancing on each others feet and then it was over. In ten minutes Thomas fieldhouse was empty, except for the road crew and the soccer players who had to break down the equipment. The next day the only evidence of the concert was the hundreds of empty beer bottles and cigarette butts scattered on the floor. An hour later these too were gone and Thomas Fieldhouse was once again the house of sweat. Tuesday, October 21,1980 page 5 Homecoming Happenings Nantucket's sounds blasted the last Friday night.
