SCC workers to
vote next week
By KEITH VERNON
Staff Reporter
An election to detennine
whether the American Federation of State, County and
Municipal
Employees
(AFSCME) will represent tiie
seven full time employees of
the SCC, will be held on
Tuesday September 14 at
3:30pm in the Music Room of
tiie PUB. Only the seven full
time employees ofthe SCC will
vote in the election.
In order for the SCC employees to become unionized, only
four of the seven have to vote
in favor of the AFSCME.
Should the union be voted in,
the SCC will have 30 days to
appeal the decision. According
to Lorin Mock, president of the
SCC, it is impossible at this
point to tell how the election
will go.
Rumors of the possibility of
the AFSCME being brought in
started as early as February
1976. In April, of 1976 a hearing
took place to determine whether the AFSCME would be a
legitimate representative of
the SCC employees. In that
hearing Lorin Mock maintained tiiat the SCC was a
strictiy autonomous organization which received no state
funding. The union representatives however, tried to prove
that the SCC was indeed a
state organization, which
would enable them to represent the workers.
Mock, who has been opposed to the unionization of
SCC workers ftotta tiie start,
added emphatically,
"We
don't need the help of the
AFSCME." The court dedded
in favor of the union which
gave them tiie right to set up
next Tuesday's election.
The SCC provides hospital

and medical insurance for its
employees and complies with
all union benefits with the
exception of tenure. It is
interesting to note however,
that no SCC employee has ever
been fired. One tiling tiie SCC
offers its employees which the
union does not is no retirement
age. SCC workers can work as
long as they wish. Union
workers cannot. The AFSCME
is a member of the American
Federation of Latnir and the
Congress of Industrial Workers.
When asked what he
thought of the whole issue
Lorin Mock responded, "The
eventual loser m the long run
will be the students." It is

PHEAAcracks down on fund misuse
By JACK SOHNLEITNER
Staff Reporter
The Pennsylvania Higher
Education Assistance Agency
betier known as PHEAA has
decided to crack down on
student misuse of PHEAA
grants and loans according to
Bryan Van Deun, Director of
Financial Aid at Lock Haven
State.
"All students that have
PHEAA grants," said Van
Deun, "will be checked to see
if they have a car registered on
campus. If that car is not
approved by PHEAA then the
student will either have to give
up the car or the grant." To
own a car, according to
PHEAA, a student has to be
either a commuter, a student
teacher, or need a car for some
other bonafide reasOui
PHEAA also has revised
its loan program. The bank is
now required to make the
check payable to both the
student n d the college. Van

Deun says PHEAA did this
because students were using
the money for downpayment
on cars or other non-educational purposes. Because
of the PHEAA ruling tiie
college has to endorse a
PHEAA check before a student
may cash it. The college won't
endorse a check unless a
student pays his bills with it.

About half of all LHS students receive some sort of
financial aid.
Guaranteed
loans worth $87 million were
processed by PHEAA along
with grants worth $70 million
during the 1975-76 acadeihic
year. In conjunction with this,
President Ford signed into
law, on June 2, $791 million of

in running for the position of

"hi this election all the
senate seats are up for grabs,"
stated Lorin Mock, SCC President. "We're hoping," he>
added' 'for a good turn out this
fall."
To be a Senator the qualifications are that you must be
a fiill time student in good
standing as determined by the
Vice President of Academic
Affau-s.
The composition of the

senate is determined by the
constitution which reads;
dormitories shall be represented by one senator to 100
students ... and off-campus
;tudents (i.e., - all those
students not residing in dormitories) shall be represented
according to the proportions
outiined for those residing in
dormitories.
All totaled, following the
rule of one senator to 100
students, there are 27 senators.

"Lock Haven is a nice

He received his Ph. D. in

Noupsels
for N.F.C. powers
'<•

By Steve Heverly
Staff Reporter

Pro Football "76" explodes on the scene this
weekend when the meaningless exhibitions are thrown out
and all teams start with no
wins and no losses.
Although all teams start
together, the power remains
where it usually is. Pittsburgh, Oakland, and Miami
are good bets for AFC divisional crowns while Dallas,
Minnesota, and Los Angeles
are favorites in the NFC
divisions.
The NFC East is most
likely where the only real
divisional race will be. Dallas
should come out on top in what
shapes up as a dogfight with
St. Louis and Washington.
The Cowboys made it to
the Super Bowl last year with a
mixture of veterans and 12
rookies. Dallas shored up its
only weak spot-running, by
picking up injury-prone Ron
Johnson of the Giants and
formerCowboyfi-ee-spirtDuane
Thomas. If the Cowboys loss
to the Steelers in the Super
Bowl did anything, it gave the
young team experience.
In St. Louis, the Cardinals
made moves to shore up a
porus defense by getting linemen Walt Patulski and Mar/in
Upshaw. Also linebacker Al
Beauchamp and safety Mike
Sensibaugh should bring the
defence respect. Look for St.
Louis to make to playoffs as a
wildcard team.
Washington spent millions to acquire Calvin Hill,
John Riggins and Jean Fugett
and still will need breaks to
make the playoffs. Dissention
rides high inside the Redskin
camp and Washington could
be fighting off the Giants for
third.
The Giants have improved
considerably and the acquisition of Larry Csonca will help.
In Philadelphia, the Eagles
have faced a tough training
camp under new coach Dick
Vermeil and should be improved.
But because of the
improvement within the conference the Eagles will have to

Taylor seeks future wins
Coach Sharon Taylor's women's field hockey squad will
try to continue its winning
ways in the 1976 campaign.
Last year's impressive record

of 11-0-1 and a fifth place in
the National Tournament was
undoubtedly the best performance of any Lock Haven
women's team.
Twenty-three players from
1975 have returned and have
looked impressive since practice began on August 30.
Three positions have to be
filled due to graduation. The
departing seniors included AllAmerican halfback Ronnie
Lawson, super goalie Cathy
Sherman, and fullback Jo
Ernst.
Familiar faces from last
"ear's record breaking team
include seniors Pat Rudy and
Sue Bowers. Rudy will be
leading the attack, improving
upon last years total goals
(11). Bowers plays a hustiing
defensive game.

Booters drop scrimmage
By RANDY BEHNEY
Staff Reporter
Scrimmages are designed to
determine the strengths and
weaknesses of a team. Even
the Pittsburgh Steelers might
lose an occasional pre-season
game.
Such was the case on
Tuesday afternoon when the
i^ock Haven State soccer team
dropped a tough 2-1 decision
to the University of Scranton.
Scranton jumped into the lend
in the first half on a defensive
lapse by the LHS fullbacks.
LHS appeared to have gained
a tie to conclude the first half,
but the score by Billy Bush
was not counted because time
had already run out.
In the second half LHS
finally put one in the net that
counted. Reserve ^lineman,
George Stahl, slammed a loose
ball into the goal from 10 yards
out, tying the score at 1-1. The
second half continued without
a goal until the final play of the
game. A handball was called
on a Bald Eagle fullback inside
the penalty area, resulting in a
penalty kick. The kick was
good giving Scranton a 2-1
victory.
. „ .
After the game Coach Par-

ker stated, "We're not interested in the score at this time,
but the progress of the team. I
felt we improved over the
scrimmage with the Alumni."
Parker also commented that,
"We're still experimenting
and moving people around."
Hopefully the experimenting will pay-off on Friday night
at 7;00pm when the Bald
Eagles take on Penn State at
the Nittany Lions home field.
