XVIII, No. 61 Tuesday, Jan. 27, 1976 LHSC greets twelve new foreign students By JOHN O'DOHERTY Co-Editor Although LHS has incurred the usual drop in student enrollment from fall semester to spring this year, the Office of International Education reports the arrival of 12 new foreign students on campus, and the possibility of six or seven more yet to come.

The other is a Visitation proves vital to recruitment By FRED SCHULTZ News Editor stated that we received 90 new students this semester and the total enrollment is 2,253 as opposed to 2,247 a year ago. "Attrition brings us to almost the same head count," asserted Robinson. He also said that the drop of students between fail and spring semesters was greater this year than last. "I think that the most important part of our recruiting program is our high school visitation program," stated Director of Admissions, Mr. loseph Coldren in an interview yesterday. He also noted, "The students are the college's best salesmen. I urge anyone who wishes to pick up some literature to give to friends, to come up to the By KIM GAZABAT office."

"By a special act of Congress," explained Dr. Marcus Konick, Director of International Education, "The Vietnamese students are now considered American citizens, and have all the rights of American students." None of the foreign students presently on campus, wneiher new tnis semester or returnees, are involved in any sort of exchange. All but two are here for degrees. Four Malaysian students are new to LHS this semester, and their arrival here marked a notable incident. The four flew from their country which is located near the equator, directly to Williamsport. Of the four, only one was prepared for Pennsylvania's winter weather. "One had an overcoat," Konick recalled, "But the others only had sport coats. Naturally, the first thing 1 did was take them out and get them some clothes." The other three new foreign students are all from different countries. There is a girl from Turkey, who previously attended Lock Haven but took the fall semester off. There is also one Japanese student visiting Lock Haven, and he'll probably be here for only a semester or two. An Argentine student is also here this semester, and Konick predicted, "He'll probably only stay for one semester." Konick is a bit anxious now about the status of six Nigerian students who were supposed to be here at the start of the current semester, but who haven't yet arrived. "There's no telling when they'll get here," a concerned Konickllbmarked, "And we're really not sure ii they'll get cont. onpa0«4! page 2 Joe DeFilippo's Commentary.... Does winning justify the risk oj competing injured? By JOHN O'DOHERTY Co-Editor It's ^reat that this college has a fine undefeated wrestling team, and I'm sure the wrestlers and their coach deserve the heartiest congratulations. I don't think that it's so great, however, that the health of a young athlete is risked to ensure a victory. Last Saturday, in the Thomas Fieldhouse, the Lock Haven wrestlers took on a tough East Stroudsburg team. The match was said to be "crucial". Art Baker, who wrestles at 190 lbs. for Lock Haven wrestled with a concussion he rccci'vCu a vvtck Ociore al Slippery Rock. Baker hadn't worked out from the time he incurred the concussion until the time he stepped on the mat Saturday evening. The doctor who examined Baker in the hospital told him to cool it for 10 days, and to have himself examined again, after that. The East Stroudsburg match was six days after Baker's injury. I'm amazed and indignant by the fact that neither Baker himself, nor his trainer, nor his coach had the sense to keep him from competing Saturday night. The referee had to interrupt Baker's match twice, and as Baker said himself, "In the last couple of minutes, I didn't see anything." When the match was over Baker stumbled off the mat in a fogbound stupor. This isn't a typical case of the athlete playing with an injury "for the good of the team." A bruised hip or a strained knee is one thing, but a concussion is something altogether different. It's just not good odds to abuse a head injury. 1 talked to Mr. Tomasi, the team trainer, and he said he was unaware of Baker's condition prior to the match because he had been away. I talked to Baker last night, and he assured me that he wanted to wrestle (last Saturday); that nobody made him. When I spoke to him, he was on cloud Tues., Jan. 27, 1976 EAGLEEYE nine. He was leaving Bentley cafeteria to look for his car because he "forgot" where he parked it. "What he experienced," Tomasi told me, "was a post-concussion syndrome. He didn't show any bad signs after the concussion, but as soon as he exerted himself he showed some effects." Tomasi seemed concerned enough about Baker's health that he didn't want to assume the responsibility for having him wrestle. "I checked all the indicators (out on the mat, when the referee stopped the match), and he didn't seem too bad," the trainer explained. I asked Tomasi if he asked Baker any questions, out on the mat, to test his memory. "Yeah, I did, but the answers weren't the right ones," he admitted. This coming Saturday the wrestlers meet Clarion in another "crucial" match. A victory would certainly be nice. Clarion is ranked above conf. on page 4 concert guide Deep Purple - Jan. 27 - Hershey Park Arena - Pa. B.B. King - Jan. 31 - Meadville, Pa. MFSB - Feb. 6-8 - Phila, Pa. Bette Midler - Feb. 11-12 - Syria Mosque - Pitts., Pa. "Fighting" - Thin Lizzy Here folks is a future big band. (Remember their name). There are four members in the band, a drummer, two guitarists (who can play circles around each other), and a bassist, Phil Lynott who is the lead singer. Believe it or not, he sings like Bruce Sprinsteeni. On the song "Wild One" you would swear Bruce was in there doing his thing. The title "Wild One" even sounds like one of Springsteens. The first song on the LP is Rosalie. It was originally written by Bob Seger, which was done on his last album. The next song, "Suicide" is a good blues-boogie song, though it's a little slower than the majority of the songs on this LP. The guitar is really excellent here. This LP's a good rock and roll investment. The songs have a variety and it is not just the 4/4 beat, which many bands are noted for. Every song keeps the listener interested and at the same time satisfied. The best cuts off the second side are "King's Vengeance" "Silver Money," "Freedom Song," and "Ballad of a Hard Man". Basically every song on the LP is good. In this LP, Thin Lizzy plays a few mellow, laid-back songs, a few medium rock songs, and a couple hard rockers. This group has the potential to be a great band and climb to the top. The final question is when will they start their attack on the listeners of music? That will be up to them. I rate the LP a B plus. Larsen and Nicholson creafe ^Sounds^ By TINA BROOKES Feature Editor "A comedy show in very bad taste" is what Carl Larsen called "Sounds of the Week," a radio program created and performed by Larsen and Joseph Nicholson, a member of the English Department at Lock Haven State. "Sounds of the Week" is broadcast on Dr. Darlene Thomas' Daimon program over radio station WBPZ in Lock Haven. To this date five programs, each 30 minutes long, have been aired and two more are being planned for the end of spring. The first program was presented in February 1975. Comedy prevails in the show with characters like Professor Eugene Glauber, resident mad scientist at Lock Haven State; Helen Sorrow from the "Sounds of Sorrow" soap opera, and Edna Poats Booby, Poet laureate of Gin- ton County. "Sounds of the Week" also has such features as "Bicentennial Seconds", "Great Moments in Clinton County," and commercials advertising zany products like "rent a stiff" and the "here comes the showboat" bra. "We understand there were many complaints," Nicholson stated. Larsen explained that the show appeals to kids more than older people. Both authors felt the show that had the best response so far has been the program which covers the Fort Reed Massacre Day parade. An "open window" technique is used in this show. The parade is covered from the window of the "penthouse of the stately WBPZ broadcasting building in downtown Lock Haven." Some changes are going to be made on coming "Sounds of the Week" programs. A new sponsor, Kinkie Tours, will be added to the show. The "open window" technique will be used as Larsen and Nicholson talk to people on the street from the radio station window. "We would like to try to get more of Lock Haven into the show," Larsen said, "afterall, it is a crazy town." Nicholson and Larsen are currently looking into the possibility of having "Sounds cont. on page 4 RoUem Regrercy? Unwanted Proonwwy. Medicaid Aooeptad.
