Lock Haven State Colleg Vol. XVI, No. 49 Choir celebrates Christmas By Tootsey Jackson " T i s ' the season to be jolly." Well it's almost that time of year. But what can be a better way to express joyfulness than in a song. The College Singers and the College Choir, under the direction of Mr. Gary Renselman, will present their songs of Christmas in their Winter Choral Concert on Thursday, Dec. 6, 1973. The featured work is "An Appalachian Nativity; A Christmas Folk Cantata written by Lewis H. Horton. Its patterns are marked by characteristic shape-note tricks and by the absence of many of the convention s of "ordinary" music. Shapenote is a system devised to simplify the teaching of singing not only by spacing the notes on the staff but also by indicating Ihe relation to the tonic of a specific note by its shape: round, square, triangular, diamond shapes, each having its name, fa, sol, la and mi- to cite a common system. There is no musical accompaniment. Featured soloists will be Carolyn Bair and Ernest Naylor. The College Singers will open the presentation with "Hodie Christus Natus E s t " , Jesu, Priceless Treasure: Two Chorales", "Messiah Selections" and "For Unto Us A Child Is Born". Sue Keffer and Carolyn Bair will be the soloists for "He Shall Feed His Flock". Following "An Appalachian Nativity", the College Singers will render, "Caro! of the Bells", "Still,Still,Still". "White Christmas", and "Disneyland Carolers". The College Choir will conclude the program with 'Christmas Music for Voices' and 'Jazz Gloria'. The concert will begin at 8 in Price Auditorium and is open to the public without charge. Hollander program skilled and interesting By Robert Singer The Lock Haven Artist Series audience was treated to a rather interesting performance on Thursday night when Lo'in Hollander, one of America's better pianists, came into town. Most of those in attendance will remember the extreme amounts of emotion and activity which accompanied the notes from the piano, as Hollander tends to thr ow himself, to put it moldly, into the music. This extramusical activity tended to eclipse the sound from the stage to the average viewer. In addition, he prefaced all his performances by reciting a few program notes while pacing the stage. However, he is noted for his musii not his activity outside of that- and it is upon the music that this review will attempt to concentrate. First on the pr ogram was Brahms' Sonata in F minor. Op. 5. This sonata is not played very often, probably because it is one of the most difficult works in the repertoire. Hollander handled it well, but did not embellish his performance by making it look easy. The same applied to the rest of the program. The only significant problem was his heavihandedness on the keyboard, except during the se cond movement, which was marked Andante espressivo, and which was played with about as much expres sion as you can get out of a piano. This heavihandedness was especially noticeable during the Scherzo, which is not, of itself, particularly light anyhow. Not surprisingly, the intermission came right after this piece, even though it was the first work scheduled, not only because of the length, but also because the audience needed a musical rest after all that had be en heard. Aaron Copland's Piano Variations of 1930 followed. In his verbal program notes, Hollander mentioned that Copland gave notes to the performer on how to handle the music,"...play naively, threateningly..." for example. That is what happened, most of the way through. The music did not reflect the character of the typical theme and variations, and some of the more unusual details did not manage to make it out to the audience, things like 'sound objects' and pitch rhythm constructions, which most people had trouble understanding. Last on the program was Maurice Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit, fantasies in the manner of Callot. If anything on the program was played well, this was it. Hollander produced the proper sound effects this time, making the Ravel not sound strictly like a piece of music, but like the musical portraits which his three movements, Ondine, Le Gibet, and Scarho, were designed to be. The performance of these, like those of the other composers was high quality, but the playing reflected much more of what was in the music, which was not always the case. The unwieldiness exhibited in the Brahms did not surface in the Ravel, except toward the end in the Scar bo, and this was mostly justified, due to the character of the piece. Hollander complemented the performance with two impressive encores, Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C sharp minor and the last movement of Prokofiev's Sonato No. 7, which left the viewer wi th a much better idea than the main program of just how skilled Hollander is at the keyboard. page 2 EAOLE EYE U c k Haven State College ^ " " °'"^' ^' * ' " .Letters...Letters...LcUers...Letters...Utters...Lettcrs...Letters...Utters...Lettcrs...Utters...Utter8...Utter8... Letters Dear Editor...Students look carefully To the Editor: We are living in times of tight-money and distrust in elected officials at all levels of government. The two problems are directly related, because these officials are the ones who have dictated our financial policies. This is true of the President ami the difficulties we are having on the domestic front. Il is elso true that, due to miscalculations on the part of the governor and his advisors, as well as our college administrators, we are feeling the effects of a shortage of funds al this institution. If we had looked a little closer at oui leaders before entrusting Ihem with our money, perhaps we could have avoided ou: present predicament. While the students of this college lw\c very liitlc power 10 du-late how their stale and feder.ii ta\es will be spent, regardless of what some idealists lr\ to make us believe, suidenis have a definite say in the speniing of then aeliM!\ tecs.

SecondK, o.ir elections contain the same weakness that all e'ectioru. ha\e; voters don'l really knov ihe characteristics and qualificaiions of the candidates. Most of the decisions thai effect us ar e made by people who have been MindU trusifd with our welfare. *hen we sometimes discover thai oi» welfare has been misrepresetued, il is loo often beyond our control. My motivation m »Titing thi£ lettei is to attempt to prevent the "burning down of the t>am, so tliat the horses won't have to be disturbed". At first I kept quiet about the proposed radio suiion, because in tlie past, the radio station was a popular topic for discussion, but an unpopular topic for action. However. the apparent increase in interest has persuaded me to speak out on the subject. Studrau of Lock Haven State College. I would hiflily reccHnead that you look carefuHr Bt the f s a s beiore you plunge into a situation that may prove to be contrary to yoir interests. The question has been raised concerning who will run the proposed radio station, and the motivations of Mordecai Lipshutr., the main advocate of the radio station, have been questioned. Mr. Lipshutz has heen the point of attack of a couple of unfair writers who have had letleis published in Ihe Eagle Eye. 1 am no lawer, bul I think it would be safe t o say that a number of comments thai have been made about Mr. Lipshutz are libelous. I would also question the Eagle Eye's policy of printing these libelous letters. This policy seems to overstep the rights of the free press. 1 have known Mr. l.ipshmz for more than two years, and I'm sure that his motic&iions concerning the r.Tdio station arc just as pure as the motivations which persuade students to riii for SCC offices. Mr Lipshutz is also quite knowledgable concerning the technical aspects of a radio station. After all, he was involved w ith the now defunct radio station at Lycoming College, when he was a student ihere a few years ago. However, 1 do question his qualifications regarding the responsibilities entailed in running a newly created radio station. In the years that I have known Mr. Lipshutz, he has demonstrated an uncanny quality of irresponsibility. While working with him over the past two summers, I found him to be extremely unreliable. When his presence was expected at a certain time, he would quite often be several hours late. On other occasions, Mr. Lipshutz would not arrive at all. His record of tardiness and absence could prove to be detrimental to the smooth functioning of our proposed radio station. I would also hesitat e to entrust him with the expensive equipment that would be paid foc wilh our money. While working wilh Mr. Lipshut z, an expensive tape recorder that had been left in his care was stolen. It was stolen because he failed to use the needed precaution of locking it up in a safe place. When he discovered that the recorder was missing, Mr. Lipshutz left the premisis to repori the theft. Duiing his absence, an expensive stereo receiver was stolen. I am completely willing to stand behind anything that I have said in Ihis letter. I encourage anyone to step forward who can repudiate any statement I have made, because I am only interested in gelling the facu to the students of this college , be fore they invest their activity fee money unwisely.

Mon., Dec. 3, 1973 BAOLB EYE L^ck Haven State College page 3 Eagles win season opener In 31-8 romp by Gary Brubaker "I'm pleased, but not elated," were the words Eagle wrestling Coach Ken Cox used to describe LHS's 31-8 victory over Morgan State last Saturday night. "We did a good job, but I think our boys underestimated Morgan State's team." A large Thomas Field House crowd saw the Eagles dominate the middle weight classes, but it was the 118 and 126 pound classes that gave the Eagles the momentum they needed. Brian Kuntz locked up with Marvin Mathews at 118 and wiien the dust had cleared the two boys had battled to a 5-5 draw. Mathews took Kuntz down with just 26 seconds gone in the first period but Kuntz escaped, making it 2-1. Mathews took top position starting the second, and rode Kuntz for nearly a minute and a half until Kuntz escaped at 1:28, knotting the score at 2-2. With 55 seconds left in ttie second period Kuntz caught Mathews napping and took him down on a beautiful fireman's carry to lead 4-2. Mathews escaped just 7 seconds later and the period ended with Kuntz on top 4-3. The final 3 minutes of acticn saw Mathews taking just 20 seconds to escape. This knotted the score at 4-4 but Mathews had a riding time advantage over Kuntz and tried to stay away from the Eagle matman. Kuntz became the aggressor and it paid off as he was awarded 1 point for Mathew's failure to wrestle and the score ended 5-S making the team score 2-2. At 126, Eagle Bob Banfill could not wrestle due to illness and Ben Shipman failed to make weight so Coach Cox inserted Tim McCamley to wrestle one of Morgan State's top boys in Herb Johnson. The Eagle freshmen was taken down twice by Johnson in the first period bul escaped both tiroes. Down 4-2 McCamley executed a perfect duck under takedown with just 2 seconds left on the clock and the score was tied 4-4 as the buzzer sounded. Johnson escaped just 20 seconds into the period taking a 5-4 lead. Both boys toyed with each other for the next few minutes until McCamley again took down the Morgan SUte freshman with 1:15 left on the clock. McCamley rode Johnson out for the remainder of the period end held a 6-5 lead going into the final stanza. McCmaley escaped with just 8 seconds elapsed and led 7-5. Johnson was just too tired to go for the takedown and McCamley had a hard-fought, well-earned 7-5 victory. This gave the Eagles a 5-2 lead. number 2 Way nailed Sproul for a 2 point near fall to tie the match at 2-2. Sproul reversed Way at 1:55 of the second period but 10 seconds later George pulled off a reversal of his own and the period ended in a 4-4 draw. Way escaped first IS seconds into the period and in another ten seconds had Sproul taken down for a 7-4. Sproul refused to give and with :58 seconds left in the match reversed the Eagle freshman tightening the score to 7-6. Way had 4:16 of riding time as compared to Sproul's 3:11 giving him a tough 8-6 victory and pushing the team s c a e EAGLES COME ALIVE to 12-2 in favor of Lock Haven. The 150 pound class saw Morgan State's Nehemiah Jackson take on Eagle Dave Crowell. Oowell showed his wrestling knowledge to Jackson taking him down 3 times in the first period with Jackson escaping twice. Jackson chose bottom at the start of Ihe second period and escaped in 16 seconds. Jackson took Crowell down with two minutes remaining in the period. Crowell reversed one minute later and led 8-5 entering the last stanza. Jackson rode Qowell for almost 2Vi minutes before Crowell escaped with 39 seconds remaining in the match giving the Eagle junior a 9-5 lead. That's the way the score stood at the buzzei and the Eagles jumped their lead to 15-2. At 158 Conference Champ Don Eichenlaub annihilated a game but outclassed Ted Hill of Morgan State by a lopsided 14-3 At 134 Eagle Rob Johnson did everything but pin Rodney Jones piling up a superior decision and giving the Eagles a team score lead of 9-2. Leading 3-0 on a takedown in the first and escape in the second. Johnson wore his opponent out and applied the pressure in the third period. Having top position Johnson clamped Jones for a 3 point near fall and upped his lead to 6-0. Jones escaped with 1:21 showing on the clock. With just 25 seconds left Johnson took Jones down, put him on his back, and including one point for riding time, walked away with an impressive 12-1 victory. At 142 Eagle freshman Geoige Way garnered a hard fouglit 8-6 victory over Craig Sproul. Sproul took Way down with just 22 seconds gone for the period's only points. Taking top position in period score. Leading 4-1 after 2 periods, the Eagle junior scored 3 takedowns and a two point near fall in the third peTiod to just a pair of escapes for Hill. Eichenlaub's riding time of 5:57 to' just 1 second for Hill gave the Eagle grappler another point and as the result of the victory by superior decision gave the Eagles 4 more points and a 19-2 lead. At 167 Don Adams scored the fiist fail of the n i ^ l by pinning Morgan Stater Ed Shivers with just :32 seconds remaining in the match. Adams held a 9-3 lead at the time of his fall, completely dominating his foe. This pin gave the Eagles a 25-2 team lead and wrapped up the victory for the Eagles. The Eagle wrestlers suffered their first defeat of the night when Luther Owens defeated Dave Wasson 13-9 at the 177 pound class. Owens scored a pair of takedowns, an escape and a 2 point near fall, to just a reversal for Wasson, giving him a 7-2 lead after 1 period. Wasson taking lop position held Owens down 44 seconds before the Morgan Slater reversed hirn and put him on his back for a 3 point near fall. V^asson quickly reversed and rode his opponent until Owens escaped with ]usl :22 seconds remaining in the period.
