es develooed

By JOHN O'DOHERTY
Co-Editor

A program in Latin American studies, which was developed by Mr. Nelson DeLavan
of the history department and
Dr. Edmund Carney of the
foreign language department
has been officially approved by
Harrisburg, and will take on
the status of a degree program
"* LHS i" *h" "•"Tinier.
The full name of the
program is the Latin American
Area Studies, and it will
encompass the scholastic requisites needed for geography, history and language of
this locale.
Carney and DeLavan put
the program together early
last year, and it was approved
here in April. It was okayed by
the Curriculum Committee
and APAC (Academic Policy
Advisory Committee), and
then President F.N. Hamblin
and Dr. Gerald Robinson,
Vice-president of Academic
Affairs gave it the administrations seal of approval and sent
it to Harrisburg.
Secretary of Education,
John Pittenger sent word to
LHS Monday that the program
had been approved.
"What it amounts to," Dr.
Robinson explained, "is a

realignment of our existing
courses that will lead to a
major in Latin American Area
Studies, with a Bachelor of
Arts degree."
Since the program was first
passed, there will be no
students in it this semester.
"For all practical purposes,"
Robinson continued, "the program will begin with the start
of our first snmtner session."

Staff Reporter
The Lock Haven State
administration "dropped the
axe" on seven year football
mentor Bob Weller this week,
marking the end of the reign of
one of the most colorful
coaches in the history of
athletics on the campus.
The cut came silently,
enshrouded in the closed
mouths of the college officials.
When announced, it did not
surprise many people. The
most surprised individual was
Weller.
"I knew that something
was up, but 1 did not expect
this to happen at this time,"
he said. The decision was the
end result of a proposal that
began last year.

The question of reassigning Weller was first proposed
on October 28 of last season by
Athletic Director Tod Eberie.
Eberle had asked the Eagle
general to surrender the reins,
but he refused. Eberle further
pursued the matter with the
Athletic Advisory Committee,
but they took no initiative on

taken by people not seeking a
degree or certification." Later
on, however, he made the
point that many people who
start out taking courses go on
to get a degree or certification.
Dr. Konick broke down
the continuing education program into two areas: 1.) A
regualr college course carrying
all the usual requirements at a
cost of 133.00 per semesteri
and 2.) "life-long learning
courses" which are courses of
special interest within the
community (e.g. accounting,
modern dance). These courses
are shorter (approximately
eight weeks), and usually cost
about $25.00. These courses
do not carry college credit.
The scheduling of these
courses is done by Dr. Konick,
who writes to each dept.

courses they could offer that

Lastsecond basket crushes the Haven
By MIKE CROSBY
Staff Reporter
Only :05 remains in the
game; Hendershot shoots and
scores; the scoreboard reads
Lock Haven 49 - Mansfield 48.
Mansfield calls a time out and
works out its strategy for a last
shot. The ball inbounds to
Robinson, he starts dribbling
up the court, then throws the
ball to Balasick, and he sends
the ball arching towards the
basket with :01 remaining in
the game. As the buzzer
sounds, the scoreboard reads
Mansfield 50 Lock Haven 49.
This was the ending to the
very exciting and breathtaking
Lock Haven - Mansfield game
played Monday night at Mansfield.
Both teams came out of the
locKer room shooting very
cold. Lock Haven was using a
very deliberate offense to
control the game. Mansfield's
offense was a bit unorganized,
and had no real pattern to it.
Mansfield was using a 1-3-1
zone defense while Lock
Haven was using a man to
man.
With 10 minutes remaining
in the first half, the score was
10-8 in favor of Lock Haven.
This low scoring was to be the
pattern for the game. Mansfield took the lead 12-10 with
9:00 remaining in the half.
Within the next 2:30 Mansfield outscored Lock Haven 9-2
and took a seven point lead,
this turned out to be the
biggest lead that any team
would mount.
Lock Haven came back and
cut Mansfield's lead to one
point with a minute remaining
in the half. With only :10 to go
Bill Vassallo connected on a
give and go from Mike Fitzgerald to give the Haven a one
point lead. Then with just :01
left Vassallo tipped in a shot to
give Lock Haven a 26-23 half
time lead.
In the first half both teams
were very cold shooting from
the floor, and both had many
turnovers. The officiating was
also very poor with players
getting pushed and shoved all
over the court. This loose
officiating continued throughout the game.
Mansfield came out in the

second half using a 2-3 zone
defense. Lock Haven was
using a man to man. Both
teams continued to use their
respective offense's.
With 13:40 remaining to be
played Mansfield took a slim
two point lead, 33-31. This
lead was not to last long as Al
Ridge scored seven straight
points to give The Haven a
38-33 lead with 10:51 on the
clock. The Haven kept this
lead for awhile on key baskets
by Bob Ward and Joe Sain.
Mansfield, however was
not to be denied, and just kept
coming back and finally took a
43-43 lead with 5:45 to go. Al
Ridge scored again to put The
Haven on top, but Mansfield
got off four straight points to

take a 47-44 lead with just 3:10
remaining to be played.
Mansfield had earlier
changed to a man to man, but
went back to a 2-3 zone to force
Lock Haven to shoot from the
outside. With 2:00 left, Tom
Huff connected and cut the
margin to one. Both teams
exchanged free throws in the
next 40 seconds, and with :50
to play the score was Mansfield 48 Lock Haven 47.
The remaining :50 were
very tense and exciting. Lock
Haven brought the ball down
the court and turned it over,
then Mansfield came back and
missed a shot. Lock Haven got
