Lock Haven State College Teacher Exam Dates Announced College seniors preparing to teach school may take the National Teacher Examinations on any of the four different test dates announced today by Educational Testing Service, a nonprofit, educational organization which prepares and administers this testing program. New dates for the testing of prospective teachers are: November 10, 1973, and January 26, April 6, and July 20, 1974. The tests will be given at nearly 500 locations throughout the United States, ETS said. Results of the National Teacher Examinations are used by many large school districts as one of the several factors in the selection of new teachers and by several states for certification or licensing of teachers. Some colleges also require all seniors pre- paring to teach to take the examinations. The school systems and state departments of education which use the examination results are listed in an NTE leaflet entitled Score Users which may be obtained by writing to ETS. On each full day of testing, prospective teachers may take the Common Examinations which measure their professional preparation and general educational background and an Area Examination which measures their mastery of the subject they expect to teach. prospective teachers should contact the school systems in which they seek employment, or their colleges, for specific advice on which examinations to take and on which dates they should be taken. Foreign Flicks Scheduled For Fail Still another area of entertainment soon to be available at Lock Haven State is the series of films to be shown throughout the 73-74 fall and spring semesters. In the past, the audiences have been composed mostly of faculty members atlhough the films are open to all. Students don't realize what they are missing! These films are not the dry, stuffy material that most young people think they are. A great variety is offered with this year's selection. The fall semester selection will present all foreign films while in the spring only American films will be shown. The foreiffi i'i\tes to be shown this semester offer both classics and comedies. Many of the films are concerned with common life situations. It is interesting to see these problems handled by people of a totally different culture with the results being sometimes moralistic and sometimes just plain furmy. The films will be shown every Sunday night in Ulmer planetarium. There will be a pre-view at 7:30 and the feature showing at 8:00 The first film will be Ivan the Terrible on September 18, 1973- So students, why not attend? After all, watching movies seems to be a pretty easy way to become more cultured. The Bulletin of Information for Candidates contains a list of test centers, and information about the examinations, as well as a Registration Form. Copies may be obtained from college placement officers, school personnel departments, or directly from National Teacher Examinations, Box 911, Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey 08540 . Those seniors and (acuity members who did not have their photos taken in the spring should register on the sign up sheet, posted outside Raub 301. The photographer will be on campus Sept. 12, 13, & 14. LH Greets British For Third Year In 1775 a cry of alarm rang throughout the 13 colonies as the British soldiers arrived. Now, in 1973, the cry is one of welcome as Lock Haven State College once again hosts 16 students and 2 professors from the Nottingham College of Education, Nottingham, England. The 12 women and six men arrived on campus shortly after midnight, September 5. The students first met with Dr. Hamblin and Dr. Robinson in the afternoon of the same day. John Whetton, who will teach Physical Education, and Eric Thurston, who will teach Mathematics, then met with the English students to help them select courses. Whetton and Thurston will act as counselors during this first semester and will remain at Lock Haven State after the departure of the students sometime in mid-January. This is the third year that the two colleges have participated in the exchange program. The program operates on a one-to-one basis in which each student pays the fees applicable to his own school. The program is open to all Lock Haven State College students. Those interested in attending Nottingham College next fall should contact Dr. Colabrese for applications and further information. Senate Elections to be Held Sept. 18 The Student Cooperative Council, known as the SCC, will hold its Senatorial election on September 18. To be eligible to serve as a senator, a student must be in good academic standing with the college and must be currently carrying 12 semester hours or more of work. A senator is required to attend all SCC meetings, usually held twice a month. It is at these meetings that the Senate conducts the business of the Student Government on a number of various affairs of the college including financial, athletic, academic, social, and cultural interests. Cont. on p. 4 EAGLE EYE page 2 Lock Haven State College Less Teachers Graduating, More Jobs By 1976 Every coiiege student is aquainted with at least one high school drop-out who holds the firm belief that, if teachers colleges are so great, then why are so many graduates driving cabs, or pumping gas? College just isn't worth it if you can't find a college level job," Until recently it might have taken the Harvard debate team to gracefully sidestep a statement of this nature. Why? Because it was and still is the truth. >/1any college degree holders are performing jobs that a nonhigh school graduate could have been qualified for. Now though, a recent survey, "Trends In Teacher Supply and Demand In Public Schools, 1973-1976". out out by the National Education Association has shown a ray of hope for the nation's present education majors. This survey, which collected enrollment data from 67 of the nations largest teacher preparation institutions, snowed tliat the number of students completing preparation for teaching will be lower in 1973 and for the next three years, than in 1972. , , "If these institutiond are representative of all teachei education institutions the number of graduates completing preparation to enter teiching in 1976 will be For the best in service... Bnafitim's UjfCO corner of Bellefonte & Commerce KELLY SPRINGFIELD and ^„.-«-«*»^ ^Goodric TIRES vWi only two-thirds the number in 1972, and the ratio of graduates seeking teaching jobs, to the number of jobs open to them will be about 1 1/2 to 1, instead of almost 2 to 1 in 1972." NATION IS WASTING ANOTHER RESOURCE The National Education Association has been concerned with the lack of job availability to education majors for some time now. Terry C. Henderson, executive secretary of N.C.A. was quoted as saying: "The nation is turning the present flood 01 college-age population down the spill-way when it should be used for generators and resevoirs," Herdon expressed his views that the nation is already beginning to lose the potential resourses offered by the present "wave" of college-age population , by saying: "Tliere is very little evidence that the nation is taking any action necessary to utilize the tide of collegeeducated manpower to increase the nations annual progress toward desirable goals, or to effectively employ it now so that the pool of qualified manpower will be adqueate to the demands in the 1980's when the size of college-age population will decrease each year."

Evidence from 67 of 124 largest teacher preparation institutions have reported a drop of 36% from 1972 to 1973 graduating classes, that is 8,650 people less will have acquired teachers degrees in just one year's time. The reasons for such a decrease are nany and wide spread. The roots of the problem can be traced mainly to the lack of jobs, the boom in technical and trade schools, and the simple fact that more and more graduating high school students are taking time off before jumping into college. Tlie decrease in college applicants have resulted in lowering admissions standards in mot t colleges and institutions across the nation. This may be just one reason why the cafeteria lines are so long this year, at Lock Haven anyway. SITUATION COULD BE IMMEDIATE Mon., Sept. 10, 1973 To combat this problem Herdon advised: "Immediate investment in the improvements of public school programs and services, along with the creation of appropriate jobs for college gradtHtes in other fields, will not only raise the quality of public education but also improve the present and long term utilization of the present wave of college-age manpowet The decreasing total number of children and youth, prc^ viding an outlook for fewer potential graduates in the 1980's than in the 1970's., along with the presently depressed job market for college-educated manpower as a whole, indicated that now is the time to act." Mr. Herdon was confident in saying; "If we brought the teaching staff up to minimum quality levels there wouldn't be-even nowenough qualified teachers to go around." Perhaps, if the country's educators take Mr, Herdon's advise seriously, the problem of wasted college educations can be eliminated by 1976. None the less, now is definitly the time, for us to act to secure our futures. Still in 1973 there will be a decrease of qualified teachers coming directly out of college, but there will also be a decrease in the iobs availal le to them.

Mon., Sepu 10, 1973 EAGLE EYE Lock Haven State College Gridders Lose Scrimmage: Weller Optimistic The LHS Bald Eagles suffered tlieir first taste of defeat at Saturday's scrimmage against Lycoming College. Coach Weller emptied the entire Eagle bench in the 20-8 loss, but felt that the Bald Eagles could have been victoriovas had he stuck with his first string throughout the entire game. The first team defense gave up but one touchdown throughout the entire first half. This touchdown was given up to Lycoming's best offensive unit. As one Eagle defenseman put it: "We were just getting started when the In the second half the second and third strings of both teams were inserted. Lycoming then proceeded to score two touchdowns, one in the third and fourth quarters. Lock Haven was unable to score but did manage to spark a long drive as the game ended. "I definitely feel the lack of contact in practice has really hurt u s , " stated Weller following the game. Hitting a sled or dummy in practice is a lot different than hitting a man coming at you in a game. We were physical but not aggressive," added Weller. "The half ended." Eagles Soar At Bucknell Prior to Saturday afternoon's scrimmage at Bucknell, LHS Soccer Coach Karl Herrmann stated, "If we can put it all together we're going be tough to beat." Wlien the dust had cleared the LHS booters had registered three shutouts in what turned out to be a round-robin tournament on the Bucknell turf. Defeating Muhlenberg 2-0 in their opening encounter behind Don Cope lands two goals the Eagles then went on to tie Bucknell in a scoreless duel. The final match saw the Eagles edge out Wilkes College 1-0. The last two matches against Bucknell and Wilkes were abbreviated contests due to the amount of play seen by all four teams. Coach Herrmann was pleased with the results of the scrimmage, stating that the defense was very tough, and that conditioning definitely paid off. "The deep four backs; Al Rice, Bob Boles, Bob Wright and Lenny Long, worked extremely well together," stated Herrmann. "Mike Parker deserves a lot of credit for that, working hard to get these boys together. Sandy Bush also did a good job in there substituting when one of the four needed a breather." Commenting on other members of the team Herrmann added, "Don CopeUnd is u good as ever and played extremely well. Bill Bush looks like he's going to be a really good one here at the Haven. He's got the equipment and is learning fast." "Part of our effectiveness and s u c e s s , " Herrmann continued, " a s was typical in the past, is our hustle and conditioning which definitily showed Saturday." This was proven in the match between Bucknell and LHS when Bucknell's eleven began to tire as the game progressed, while the Eagle booters got stronger and stronger. One area that Herrmann worried about before the start of the season was goalie but the hooter mentor stated, "Mark Worthington and Steve Tanner both did a great job Saturday, and 1 think we have little to worry about at that position for possibly fa the next two years." Coach Herrmann's only criticism an the team's play concerned the offense. "We have to have more continuity out there between the backfield and front line on offense. A little work on that and we should be strong all over." Considering the amount of practice the LHS booters have had and their success on Saturday at Bucknell, Coach Herrmann and Company could be in fcf another bit Mwon ^'*» f'l^- guys wanted to really 'popsomebody but at times just didn't know who to hit." Despite playing only once under actual football conditions during practice, Weller feels that this year's ground game is much improved over last year's. LHS has been in the past basically a passing team, however Weller commented that against Lycoming the offense moved the ball on the ground better than any LHS team ever had in previous scrimmages over ;he past years. page 3 This is a great compliment to the offense considering no traps or reverses were run in the game. Westminster's coach was scouting LHS at the scrimmage and Weller did not wish to show anything that might be used in the season's opener. Coach Weller concluded his comments by saying that getting timing down and building better pass protection must be improved but would come along in time. If Lock Haven can put all these " i f s " together a lot of teams are going to be surprised w'aen they meet the Bald Eagles this season. Harriers Face Tough Schedule Cross-Country, the most successful men's sport at LHS in recent years will get underway this Saturday, Sept. 15 with a home meet against traditional rival. Slippery Rock State. This year's schedule will be the toughest dual meet schedule in the history at LHS. The Bald Eagles will compete in 15 dual meets, including all the top teams in the Pa. State College Conference. Jim Dolan, a former All American distance runner from Michigan will once again be head coach. The highly competitive coach will enter his fifth season for the Bald Eagles. The '73 harrier squad will find it tough to replace 3 out of 5 top runners it lost next to the post office in Lock H a v e n . 748-5371 The BIG RED NOTE Free Instruction Book With Any Harmonica through graduation and transfering, Steve Harnish, Nibs Gordon and Hal Fried left shoes that will he hard to fill by this year's cross. country squad. Dolan, as has been customary in the past, declines to give any pre-season predictions. He did comment however that, "We have a bunch of guys who want to run. I will be happy with any win-loss record if ihey work hard and reach their potential. And that's the nDme of the game in my book." According to pre-season performances, the top five men appear to be senior, Mike Gaige, freshman Ed Fraass, Juniors Eric Burkert and Bill Landis, and Sophomore Denny Harmon. Gaige, number one runner last season and winner of the 1973 Pa. Conference Mile Championship, is a definite potential All-American. Fraass was one of the top cross-country runners in N.J. last season while a senior in high school. He remains interested however in the 5 mile college course distance. Several other runners are rounding into shape and could be contenders for the top 5 slots. Among these are seniors Larry Wise and Lloyd Peters, juniors Bob Sellers, Pat Dunmire and Gerry Thorton, sophomore Nbtt Delfert and Larry Kerr, and freshmen Tom Getz and Dean Walize. page 4 EAGLE EYE ek grounds....greek grounds...greek grou at this time.
