LOCK HAVEN STATE COLLEGE Volume 28 No. 23 Friday, May 13, 1983 Fred Leone's departure won't go unnoticed By Marcelo Cancelli Fred is leaving. Just about everyone here at LHSC knows who Fred Leone is, or at least knows something about this son of Italian immigrants born in Avis, Pa. Fred works at the Eagle Wing Snack Bar and one cannot think of him without thinking of the 'PUB,' as the snack bar is known to the students, and vice-versa. To anyone who visits the 'PUB' Fred's unusual, unexpected humor causes some reaction. "I like his humor," says Juan Soaje, an international student from Argentina. "It is harmless and really adds to what the PUB Well, Fred is leaving. And with him, all of this original humor that we've all been accustomed to. After the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) decided to lease the snack bar and leave it open for bids, Fred decided not to bid for it. "I didn't like the wording of it (the contract). I even showed it to a lawyer and he advised me not to take it," Fred said. "I'll just go somewhere else and start again." Fred, with his son Pat, leaves after working at the snack bar for more than three years. He started there in January 1980 working "anywhere from 85 to 100 hours a week," as he remembers it. "I don't think the SCC is going to find Let's hope that life in the PUB will always be as entertaining as always. anybody with that much dedication," says Kate Coyne, one of his student employees. "The students are going to miss him and he the students. We, the workers, like him a lot," she added. Several students who were asked about Fred's departure agreed that there will be a big change in the PUB after Fred is gone. "I think the PUB will have a different personality," said Kevin Lafferty. "Fred is part of the campus so things will definitely change after he's gone." Other students mentioned changes in food quality and prices. "The food is going to be different that's for sure," said student Ann Merli. Nick Stork, another student, commented on the fact that prices will be higher. "Besides having higher prices with this new company, there's the fact that Fred's part of the campus. After he's gone, coming here will be like going to Pizza City," Stork said. "It won't be the same." As Soaje puts it, "I don't think they'll ever get somebody as nice as Fred. He's always so patient, he's always in a good mood; and he's truly concerned about the students. He's a friend and I don't understand wh^he has to leave. 1 think that if the SCC had conducted a poll around the campus, Fred would remain here in spite of any money problem there might be." Fred's good humor is probably his best known characteristic. He explains it by stating his philosophy of life. "I've been through the second World War in Europe. I've seen all the horrors of it. I've lost my wife and I lost the good business I had downtown in a fire. But why should that make me a sour old man? I respect the students and I want them to feel at home. I don't consider them or anybody who comes here as customers, I consider them as human beings, not better and not worse than me. They're friends, good company for meals. You got to have fun working." SCC president John McNamara explained that there was a need for leasing the snack bar. "Twenty-two out of twentythree senators voted for it. We were losing SI6,(XX) with the snack bar and leasing was the best solution," he said. "Of course Fred is a nice guy; of course he gets along with the students, but in business you can't deal with personalities. You have to deal with the facts, and those were that we were losing money and that some change was badly needed," added McNamara. He also mentioned that Wayne Clickner, an inspector for the State Department of Health, visited the campus many times and recommended the leasing of the snack bar after deeply investigating the financial problem with it. "We worked with Fred, but we just can't go on in deficit." said McNamara. "1 hope he opens up his new business and does very well. I'll sure go visit him." Fred said he felt the SCC was ruled by "incompetent individuals, though, not all of them. They are people who don't have a mind of their own, who don't ask questions when they should be asked, and who don't want to listen to suggestions toward solving the problem of the deficit. They want to do what they want to do." There seem to be no doubts that Fred is going to be missed, and that things might change in certain ways. McNamara stated that the food quality and prices will not See 'Fred' page 4 Lawyer advises SCC to reconsider Reynold's hiring By Mike Flanagan Because of the recent approval to rehire Howard Reynolds as interim PUB director, the SCC may find itself being sued again. SCC President John McNamara received a letter last week from SCC lawyer Mike Hanna, who stated that the Pennsylvania State Attorney General's office is "extremely upset" over the prospect of rehiring Reynolds. In the letter, Hanna advised the SCC to withhold any decision regarding the matter (re-hiring Reynolds) until an opinion is received from the Attorney General's office. "I think it is ridiculous that an Attorney General's office would even consider suing a student government," McNamara said. Reynolds was reinstated by the SCC on April 20, after being dismissed from his job as PUB director last year by the SCC. In return, Reynolds filed suit against the college and the student government and received $85,000 in an out-of-court settlement. Fifty-five thousand dollars was to come from the SCC and the other $30,000 from the state. The SCC has paid Reynolds $25,000 thus far. Because it was approved to reinstate Reynolds, there stands a chance that the s e e will not have to pay Reynolds the $30,000 (plus lOVt interest) it owes him. If Reynolds is hired full-time on October I, he will not require the SCC to pay the money it owes him. The first of October is the day that the interim period ends. The Commonwealth, however, paid its $30,000 when the amount of the settlement was decided, and stands to gain nothing from the rehiring. According to McNamara, the state feels that it also should receive some money back if the SCC indeed hires Reynolds fulltime and does not have to pay the $30,000. "The statement was made that some infiuential person called Harrisburg and was making a fuss about re-hiring Howard," McNamara said. "I'm not sure if that should make the SCC more determined or what." "It (the possible suit) doesn't make sense. Why doesn't the state admit they made a mistake? I don't think we ruined our reputation by admitting we made a mistake. It takes a bigger man to admit a mistake than to simply fornet about i t " McNamara believes that Reynolds was the most qualified person who submitted a resume for the PUB director position. "There's no doubt he was the most qualified person," the SCC president said, "We are trying to correct a mistake with a trial period, and if it works out, then we rehire him." If another lawsuit is brought to the SCC, McNamara says that the students will pay. "If another lawsuit comes through, the students will be getting snowballed, McNamara said. No damages reported in dormitory fire A small fire caused the evacuation of Woolridge Hall late Wednesday afternoon. According to Law Enforcement Officer Jeffrey Johnson, the fire occured when a trash can in the first floor room of Joy Anderson caught fire. Johnson said that Anderson had been making decoupage placques, which are made by burning the edges of paper to pro- vide a ciccoiuuve ciige and li.vi. j..-...*^iMiig the paper on wood. Johnson said that Anderson put the ashes of the paper into Ihe trash can and went to the cafeteria. The ashes caught fire in the trash can, which was noticed by a fioor fire marshall who called Law Enforcement. Johnson said that he responded to the call and called the Lock Haven fire company, which sent several engines, and a rescue vehicle. The fire v^as exti::si:;3.'-.^J ui.u AnJc.soii said that there was no damage to her room. Johnson said that there have been no major fires at Lock Haven, only minor fires. He said that the speed in which fire trucks reach Ihe campus is very good. "Our response time up here is a matter of one to two minutes after they're (the fire engines) dispatched," said Johnson. 2 Eagle Eye May 13, 1983^ ^^t€>^n €Ae ^ 4 Eagle Eye May 13, 1983 320 seniors ready to turn the tassel May 21 for graduation will take place in the Field House at 1 p.m. on Friday.

Sterns, dean of Academic Administration. Dr. Sterns said that 295 students have been approved by the college for graduation. He said that the number of graduates is slightly higher than it had been in the past few years. One student who graduated in August, and 20 students who graduated in December, will be participating in the ceremony. Twenty students graduated last August, and 111 graduated in December. The ceremony has been planned for the stadium, but if it rains, the ceremony will be moved to the Thomas Field House. Practice making sure students are notified about graduation, supervising the rehearsal, line up, and procession. Dr. Mayes is responsible for notifying the faculty concerning commencement and organizing its procession. "• Dr. Carbaugh has been a graduation Marshall for 12 years. Dr. Mayes was appointed to the position by former College President Dr. Francis N. Hamblin last year, but she was out of the country during last year's commencement exercises, so Dr. Jean Deobold took her place. Dr. Carbaugh said that the Marshall is the official representative of the college, and is responsible for filling in at events that the college president or members of the administration cannot attend. LHSC Panhellenic Council presents awards The bloodmobile award was given to the Sigma Kappa sorority. This year 257 pints of blood were donated, exceeding the goal of 250.

The outstanding Greek Woman Award 1982-83 went to Penny Gardner of Sigma Kappa, the president of the Panhellenic Council. The award was given for promoting the Greek system. Gardner said that she "wasn't expecting to win the award" All of the sudden they read her name. She felt honored to win the award. Gardner, a senior Psychology major, will graduate in May 1984. Four of the past five Greek Awards have gone to the Sigma Kappa sorority. 'Fred' from page I chai^ge substantially. He said that Macke, the corporation taking over the snack bar, will not raise prices drastically and that in some cases they'll even reduce prices. There will still be specials, according to him, and an even wider variety of food items next semester. "Students shouldn't feel that Macke is going to bring in vending machines. The only big change will be in appearance. The snack bar will look very different next semester." said McNamara. Beyond all this, the fact remains that, for whatever causes, a unique element of what we call Lock Haven State College is leaving. "I take life as it is and 1 try to enjoy myself," said Fred with his original look at life. "I'd never come back here for anything because I just don't go back to places. I really enjoyed working with the College kids, as 1 always have for more than 20 years." Fred was commended with a placque from the Black Cultural Society here on campus in a gesture that, as he says, made him "speechless for the first time in my life" when he found out about it. And as the students showed their appreciation for him. he also would like to show his a p preciation for them. "1 want to tell everyone I served since I've been in the snack bar that it was my pleasure to serve them. I served some of the best people in the world here, even though 1 did serve some shakes," he said with his usual smile. To him the student body's message is engraved in his placque: "For outstanding service and dedication to the student body at Lock Haven State College. May God bless you." The Black Cultural Society.
