The University of Pittsburgh will host its fifth annual
Seminar on Jazz for music
educators, professional musicians, and students October 9,
10 and 11.
Among the noted jazz
figures serving as seminar
faculty will be Jaki Byard
(piano), Kenny Burrell (guitar), Richard Davis (bass),
Leonard Feather (critic, historian, author, and musician),
Louis Hayes (percussion), Joe
Henderson (tenor saxophone
and arranger), Lou Soloff
(trumpet), and Sonny Stitt
(alto and tenor saxophone).

will also make an appearance,
as well as a large contingent of
Pittsburgh-based jazz musicians.
The seminar director is
Nathan Davis, jazz saxophonist, and assistant professor of
music at Pitt.
Dedicated to the late saxophonist Julian "Cannonball"
Adderley, Pitt's three-day jazz
stand will assemble the talents
and knowledge of educators,
musicians, critics, and representatives of the music busi
ness from all over the world.

Scheduled for November 8,
1975, February 21, 1976 and
July 17, 1976, the NTE's are
nationwide testing units for
teacher certification and prospective job placement. Divided into two parts, NTE's

for the second semester.
PHEAA Executive
Director Kenneth R. Reeher
said the new policy, put into
effect by PHEAA in June of
this year in order to increase
Pennsylvania's access to federal funds, moved receipt of
federal aid under the new
federal program from $7.
million last year to $37.5
million this school year. As a
result, PHEAA will reduce its
state grant to certain of the
students, resulting in a savings in state commitment of
funds to these students for the
second semester that may
reach $5. million.
According to Reeher,
state savings would have been
even more except for
increased tuition at schools
and other factors. Tuition
increases averaged 8% in the
private colleges and from $50
to $140 a year in the state
supported institutions. Other
factors affecting the state
program costs were the assurance of continued state funds
for veterans and widows with
children continuing their education after high school graduation. The surge in need for
state aid which arose due to
unemployment of the parents
of many students also was a
factor.
Already, the receipt of
federal data indicates thai
more than 40,000 Pennsylvania students have obtained
$35.1 million in federal I HEGG
money. Projected figures indicate that by academic year's
end the "capture" of federal
dollars by Pennsylvania students will hit $37.5 million. This
is based on the fact that

Difference in grade procedures
resuifs from sfrucfurol changes
By RENNY MILLER
Staff Reporter
Some student teachers
receive a letter grade, while
others receive a pass or fail.
Recently questions have been
raised as to why this grading
difference exists. A structural
change of the college approximately five years ago is the
reason.
Lock Haven State used
to incorporate all programs
under one school, but because
of college growth and diversification,, LHS was split into
three schools - the school of
Teacher Education, the school
of Health, Physical Education
and Recreation, and the school
of Fine Arts.
Because each school is
administrated separately,
variations in the programs
occur. Five years ago the
school of Teacher Education
decided to switch from letter
grades to pass/fail for grading
student teachers; the school of
Health. Physical Education,
and Recreation kept letter
grades.
Speaking for the school
of Teacher Education, Associate Professor J. Donald
Fetter explained that his
school didn't feel letter grades
adequately critiqued student
teacher competencies.
With school districts

becoming more caretui aoout
every penny, they expect more
from teachers. "Graduates get
jobs according to their competence-class standing," Fetter
explained. Increasingly so,
letters of recommmendation,
along with the pass/fail grading system, are more important in job applications than
letter grades.
Dr. Jean Deobold,
Coordinator of Student Teaching for the school of Health,
Physical Education, and Recreation, explained that
school's view.
Speaking for the school
Dr. Deobold said, "We
decided that the student teaching grade is an important one
for our students." She went on
to explain that the student
teaching grade can play an
important part in gaining
acceptance at a graduate
school. H,PE, and R student
teachers also are graded on
competencies, the only difference being a letter grade
instead of pass/fail coupled
with in-depth recommendations.
When asked if any
policy changes in grading was
foreseen, both Fetter and
Deobold related an openness
to discussion of different gradings. But, for the present,
grading policies remain the
same.

LHS MASCOT FEARS FOR ITS LIFE
Bald eagles were once found all across the United States.
Until 1940, when congress outiawed killing bald eagles, many were
shot by farmers and ranchers as predators. Since then their
population has been cut down even more by destruction of habitat
and by pesticides entering their food chain.
Today it is estimated that only 2000 Northern and 600
Southern bald eagles exist in the Conterminous United States. Only
eight of the 48 states have more than 25 nests.
Some drastic actions have been taken in the past to save this
majestic bird of prey. Laws have been enacted, construction
projects halted, habitat areas preserved, pesticide use restricted
and hunters fined - All for the sake of the American bald eagle.
Now another means of saving the bald eagle from extinction
will be added to the list. With the aid of an $85,000. grant from
Exxon Oil Corp. of Houston, Texas, the National Wildlife
Federation will be using a computer to file all present known
information and data about the bald eagle. This information will
then be available to researchers and scientists all over the country
from one main source - the NWF data bank.
It is hoped that this "clearing house" of information will
assist in the following ways: determining and obtaining refuge
areas and roosting and nesting sights and protecting the birds from
further human encroachment. Possibly in this way, the bald eagle
will not have to "CALL EXIT" from the U.S. Wildlife System.

for federal funds under BEOG.
Altogether, about
43,000 of the 124,000 students
to receive state grants will
have qualified for BEOG
money be the October 15 date.
The state program, administered by PHEAA, continues
aid above the family income
levels acceptable to the federal
program and makes a special
effort to aid middle income
families. It also is not as
stringent as the federal program which expects that middle
income families and widows
must sacrifice their home
equity to pay for college.
"We're really pleased
with the results of this state
action this year," stated
Reeher. "Last year the federal
government had $135. million
unspent in their program. We
knew there were plenty of
families applying to the Pennsylvania programs who could
have met the federal standards. It was just a case of
their not getting the word
about the federal program."
"Students are eligible
for up to $1,400. federal
dollars per school year. The
federal government advertised
this program as a 'basic
entitlement' and we simply
informed Pennsylvanians of
their entitiement and where to
go get it. Now the students
and their parents know where
to get the federal funds and
state residents should benefit
from this for years ahead. The
state sent a federal application
to each student's home and
told the student to go after .^
the federal money. Now they
are moving to use the released
state funds to offer more aid to
the forgotten middle income
family and those who send
their children to the full charge
private colleges and schools
where tuition is high because
state tax dollars don't support
tuition reduction."
So far this year more
than 22,000 additional tegualr
students and 4,500 veterans
have applied for state student
aid than applied last year.
Requests for special consideration due to unemployment of
the parents have already surpassed all of last year in the
state program. By tying the
eligibility for further state
grants to the filing by students
of applications for the federal
BEOG aid, the agency was
able 10 assist more students
who in the long run received
more aid through the federal
and state sources than they
could have expected from the
state alone.

for the second semester.
PHEAA Executive
Director Kenneth R. Reeher
said the new policy, put into
effect by PHEAA in June of
this year in order to increase
Pennsylvania's access to federal funds, moved receipt of
federal aid under the new
federal program from $7.
million last year to $37.5
million this school year. As a
result, PHEAA will reduce its
state grant to certain of the
students, resulting in a savings in state commitment of
funds to these students for the
second semester that may
reach $5. million.
According to Reeher,
state savings would have been
even more except for
increased tuition at schools
and other factors. Tuition
increases averaged 8% in the
private colleges and from $50
to $140 a year in the state
supported institutions. Other
factors affecting the state
program costs were the assurance of continued state funds
for veterans and widows with
children continuing their education after high school graduation. The surge in need for
state aid which arose due to
unemployment of the parents
of many students also was a
factor.
Already, the receipt of
federal data indicates thai
more than 40,000 Pennsylvania students have obtained
$35.1 million in federal I HEGG
money. Projected figures indicate that by academic year's
end the "capture" of federal

Difference in grade procedures
resuifs from sfrucfurol changes
By RENNY MILLER
Staff Reporter
Some student teachers
receive a letter grade, while
others receive a pass or fail.
Recently questions have been
raised as to why this grading
difference exists. A structural
change of the college approximately five years ago is the
reason.
Lock Haven State used
to incorporate all programs
under one school, but because
of college growth and diversification,, LHS was split into
three schools - the school of
Teacher Education, the school
of Health, Physical Education
and Recreation, and the school
of Fine Arts.
Because each school is
administrated separately,
variations in the programs
occur. Five years ago the
school of Teacher Education
decided to switch from letter
grades to pass/fail for grading
student teachers; the school of
Health. Physical Education,
and Recreation kept letter
grades.
Speaking for the school
of Teacher Education, Associate Professor J. Donald
Fetter explained that his
school didn't feel letter grades
adequately critiqued student
teacher competencies.
With school districts

becoming more caretui aoout
every penny, they expect more
from teachers. "Graduates get
jobs according to their competence-class standing," Fetter
explained. Increasingly so,
letters of recommmendation,
along with the pass/fail grading system, are more important in job applications than
letter grades.
Dr. Jean Deobold,
Coordinator of Student Teaching for the school of Health,
Physical Education, and Recreation, explained that
school's view.
Speaking for the school
Dr. Deobold said, "We
decided that the student teaching grade is an important one
for our students." She went on
to explain that the student
teaching grade can play an
important part in gaining
acceptance at a graduate
school. H,PE, and R student
teachers also are graded on
competencies, the only difference being a letter grade
instead of pass/fail coupled
with in-depth recommendations.
When asked if any
policy changes in grading was
foreseen, both Fetter and
Deobold related an openness
to discussion of different gradings. But, for the present,
grading policies remain the
same.

LHS MASCOT FEARS FOR ITS LIFE
Bald eagles were once found all across the United States.
Until 1940, when congress outiawed killing bald eagles, many were
shot by farmers and ranchers as predators. Since then their
population has been cut down even more by destruction of habitat
and by pesticides entering their food chain.
Today it is estimated that only 2000 Northern and 600
Southern bald eagles exist in the Conterminous United States. Only
eight of the 48 states have more than 25 nests.
Some drastic actions have been taken in the past to save this
majestic bird of prey. Laws have been enacted, construction
projects halted, habitat areas preserved, pesticide use restricted
and hunters fined - All for the sake of the American bald eagle.
Now another means of saving the bald eagle from extinction
will be added to the list. With the aid of an $85,000. grant from
Exxon Oil Corp. of Houston, Texas, the National Wildlife
Federation will be using a computer to file all present known
information and data about the bald eagle. This information will
then be available to researchers and scientists all over the country
from one main source - the NWF data bank.
It is hoped that this "clearing house" of information will
assist in the following ways: determining and obtaining refuge
areas and roosting and nesting sights and protecting the birds from
further human encroachment. Possibly in this way, the bald eagle
will not have to "CALL EXIT" from the U.S. Wildlife System.

Live and learn in Scandinavia
Scandinavian Seminar is
now accepting applications for
its study abroad program in
Denmark, Finland, Norway, or
Sweden for the academic year
1976-77.
This living-andlearning experience is designed for college students, graduates and other adults who
want to become part of another
culture while acquiring a second language.
An initial three weeks
language course, followed by a
family stay whenever possible,
will give the student opportunity to practice the language on
a daily basis and to share in
the life of the community. For
the major part of the year he is
se-arated from his fellow
American students, living and
studying among Scandinavians at a "People's College"
(residential school for continuing adult education) or some
other specialized institution.
All seminar students participate in the introductory,
midyear and final sessions,
where matters related to their
studies, experiences and individual progress are reviewed
and discussed. The focus of

do so or face cancellation of
the next payment on their
state grant. Many will qualify
for federal funds under BEOG.
Altogether, about
43,000 of the 124,000 students
to receive state grants will
have qualified for BEOG
money be the October 15 date.
The state program, administered by PHEAA, continues
aid above the family income
levels acceptable to the federal
program and makes a special
effort to aid middle income
families. It also is not as
stringent as the federal program which expects that middle
income families and widows
must sacrifice their home
equity to pay for college.
"We're really pleased
with the results of this state
action this year," stated
Reeher. "Last year the federal
government had $135. million
unspent in their program. We
knew there were plenty of
families applying to the Pennsylvania programs who could
have met the federal standards. It was just a case of
their not getting the word
about the federal program."
"Students are eligible
for up to $1,400. federal
dollars per school year. The
federal government advertised
this program as a 'basic
entitlement' and we simply
informed Pennsylvanians of
their entitiement and where to
go get it. Now the students
and their parents know where
to get the federal funds and
state residents should benefit
from this for years ahead. The
state sent a federal application
to each student's home and
told the student to go after .^
the federal money. Now they
are moving to use the released
state funds to offer more aid to
the forgotten middle income
family and those who send
their children to the full charge
private colleges and schools
where tuition is high because
state tax dollars don't support
tuition reduction."
So far this year more
than 22,000 additional tegualr
students and 4,500 veterans
have applied for state student
aid than applied last year.
Requests for special consideration due to unemployment of
the parents have already surpassed all of last year in the
state program. By tying the
eligibility for further state
grants to the filing by students
of applications for the federal
BEOG aid, the agency was
able 10 assist more students
who in the long run received
more aid through the federal
and state sources than they
could have expected from the
state alone.

ainton County's Head
Start program is designed to
assist children from deprived
backgrounds, broken homes
and foster homes have a better
start in life. Lock Haven State
students can help these children get the love and guidance
they may not receive at home
by volunteering for the Big
Brother/Sister program.
Approximately 120 children, primarily preschoolers,
are enrolled in Clinton Counfy
Head Start Centers located in
Beech Creek, Renovo and Lock
Haven. Meeting from 8:00
a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday
through Friday, the program
provides the children with
nourishing food and tests for
any perception and coordination difficulties that might hold
them back in school.
LHS students volunteering
for the program will be
assigned a little brother or
sister. The majority of these
children live in the Lock
Haven area, with only a few
residing far enough away to
.'•equire a car for ttansportation. Big brothers and sisters'
jobs will include being the
child's friend and taking him
to places such as the movies,
park or playground.
A prerequisite to working
in the program is a mandatory
tuberculosis screening, which
can be taken at the infirmary
at a charge of .25 or at the T.B.
Mobile Unit in downtown Lock
Haven.
Students wishing to become involved in the program
should watch for signs announcing the next Big Brother
