Praeco Has
Problems
by LINDA BREAN

Recently Dr. Parsons has become especially interested in
three pressing problems of the
"Praeco:" whether the students
want a yearbook next year, the
new staff for next year's edition,
and the low number of sales of
this year's book.
An S. C. C. committee has
delved into these problems and
has started taking action. In
this issue of the "Eagle Eye" the
reader will find a box where he
should indicate his desire for the
continuation of the "Praeco."
The committee has decided that
at least two-thirds of the replies
must be favorable or drastic
steps will begin.
Also, the yearbook staff for
next year must be organized
within the month. The members of the S.C.C. committee
have estimated that, at a minimum, fifty people must be on
the StafF in order to produce an
outstanding annual without demanding too much time from
the majority of those working:
four photographers, five typists,
fourteen people on layout, 12 on
feature, five on business, and five
on advertising. The result of
this part of the poll will also
indicate the support of the student body. From the new staff
the editors will be elected.
Only seven hundred yearbooks
were sold this year, and only
seven hundred and fifty ordered,
compared w i t h the 1200 last
year. Why There were two
hundred annuals not bought last
May and some of them were sold
this past fall. But, s t i l l the
"Praeco" funds lost $1400. This
year there will be less than fifty
copies extra and they are being
sol dnow. N O yearbooks will
be left over in the spring and
those who didn't order in advance will have to wait for next
year's publication, if there is one.
Many s t u d e n t s have complained about the one dollar raise
i nprice. This was due to the
dollar per book increase charged
by the publishing company. If
the students show interest in the
"Praeco," a contract will be
signed with another company insuring a lowering in price.
This year, for the first time,
the "Praeco" will feature a section with colored pictures of the
activities throughout
Homecoming weekend. This is an
attractive innovation and there
are sure to be other improvements with student co-operation.

College Players present ^^J.B.
by Franka Moody
College Players w i l l present
Archibald MacLeish's Pulitzer
Prize-winning "J.B." in Price
auditorium March 3, 4 and 5.
The play will be presented three
nights instead of the previously
advertised two-night performance.
"J.B." portrays the spiritual
dilemma of the twentieth century. Because it is highly personal, an audience can see its
own experiences throughout the
play. Using the Book of Job as
a story of mankind, MacLeish
has written the fable of our
times in verse that has the pulse
and beat of earthy modern living. In form, it is theatre. In
content, it is truth on a scale
far above the usual dimensions
of stage production.
Play From Broadway
The Yale School of Drama
produced the play in 195 8. It
was also produced on broadway
with Raymond Massey portraying God; Christopher Plummer,
personating the devil; and Pat
Hingle playing J.B.
By incorporating an imaginative form, the play has long perspective. "J.B." is set in a circus tent with an upper platform
that represents heaven and a

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS

Smith Hall as a
Government
by J. Sebio
Smith Hall opened its doors
in September of 1960 with Edward A Young as Dean of Men.
In July of 1965 Francis J. Cornelius assumed his duties as the
new Dean of Men. The purpose of the hall is to provide
housing on campus for male
students and to develop those
qualities of character w h i c h
makes for responsible and capable men.
The hall is governed by an
elected student Residence Hall
Council and is supervised by the
Dean of Men. Tom Todd is
the c u r r e n t president of the
dorm council. Under him are
four committees which actually
make up Smith Hall; The Scholastic Committee, The Cultural
Committee, The Social Committee, and The Athletic Committee.
A president and four chairmen are elected to the committee. Their work consists of providing the men with social and
academic activities. Each committe is allotted a certain amount of money to be used for
their events during the semester.
Dean Cornelius has complimented the council on their improvement and efficiency .

Weather Report
Here is the latest weather report from our Eagle Eye Weather Bureau and our reporter Cy
Clone. The weather report calls
for extensive cloud cover over
Sullivan 208, with temperatures
ranging from 92 to 103 degrees
during the weekend. This of
course is because Su208 is the
Eagle Eye office and a terrific
a m o u n t of heat is generated
when the staff types their hot
news. Their nimble fingers fly
hghtning fast over those wornout typewriter keys.
The temperature range in Ulmer Hall will probably be 31 to
46 degrees Centigrade. This is
mainly due to the heat produced
when our students just smash
thoses atoms into an inconceivable number of pieces.
Sunny skies are in store for
the new boys' dorm. Let's hope

Each Wing a House
There are five wings in the
dorm, each called a house. The
first floor is the Beach House,
with Jim Moyer as counselor;
second floor west, the Trimmers,
has Ron Kanour as counselor;
second floor east, the Iguana
House, has Dale Eichenlaub as
counselor; third floor west, the
Outhouse, with Gary Roberts as
counselor; and third floor east,
the Moonlighters, with George
Snyder as counselor.
House
meetings are held monthly in
the floor lounges. Recently new
house presidents and vice-presi-

dents were elected.
Innovations In Smith
New additions to Smith Hall
include a TV room and a commuters' corner, both located in
the basement. Lockers have also
been provided for the commuting students.
Last November, there was a
big event in the Cornelius household with the birth of a daughter, Kristin. The baby is coming along fine.
Smith Hall is named in honor
of Professor Samuel J. Smith, a
long-time member of the science
department.

Audiences Are Entertaining
when the house lights go down on a concert today, reports
Time, The Weekly Newsmagazine, it is often the audience that
strikes the overture. It is a kind of barnyard symohonette.
The Hummer and the Time Beater serve as the rhythm section.
The Cellophane Crinkler and the Program Rattler handle the
solos.
In the percussion section, the principal performers are the
Bracelet Jangler and the Premature Clapper.
Special effects are contributed by the Knuckle Cracker and
the Watch Winder.
The Coughers' Chorale is directed by the Dry-Throated, Rednosed Hacker, whose feeblest lead always gets a resounding antiphonal response.
The entire performance is choreographed by the Figiter, produced and upstaged by that notorious team of the Latecomer and
the Earlyleaver.
Artistic Retalliation
To teach latecomers a lesson, Stowkowski once had his musicians
wander idly off and onstage while playing a Mozart symphony. Another time he turned to the audience and conducted the coughers:
"All right, cough!" he commanded. "I want a rhythmic cough!
Make it louder!"
Classical guitarist Andes Segovia recently stopped a performance in Chicago, whipped out an enormous handkerchief, and honked
and wheezed along with the audience.
Jascha Heifetz prefers the withering glare or, if things get too
bad, departure.
The late Sir Thomas Beecham was even less subtle, once w^hirled
on the podium and shouted "Shut up, you fools!"
Suggestions
As for the dreaded cellophane crinkler, critics recommend the
mute fruit — something nice and quiet like bananas — should be
sold at intermission instead of candy.
Conductor Eugene Ormandy, who has been jolted from his
sleep by a radiator whistling off-key, recently requested that women
check their dangly bracelets before entering the concert hall. It
would not be so bad, reports New York Times Critic Harold Schonberg, if "all the bracelets weren't differently pitched.
Schonberg is also bugged by serious types who lug music scores
to the performance. They turn their pages in unison and sound
"like a bunch of locusts going through a wheatfield."
To help separate himself from such extraneous noises, one Manhattan concertgoer cups two programs to his ears.
The audience-participation show, suggests Metropolitan Opera
Director Rudolf Bing, is the result of "a general deterioration of
manners everywhere, spurred by the Beatles and similar creatures."
He should know. Met audiences often seem better suited for Ringo
than Rossini.

THE EAGLE EYE

Flying Start for Eaglettes LHS Grapplers
Swamp
Millersville
by

J A Y N E E CAROLUS

O n Wednesday, February 9,
the varsity squads of Susquehanna and Lock H a v e n m e t on
the L o c k H a v e n hardwood for a
game, w h i c h as the score denotes,
tilted entirely one way.
The
Lock H a v e n lassies came o u t on
top in their home opener b y an
impressive 6 7 - 1 7 score. Led by
newly-elected co-captains Linda
"Murph" D e t r a
and
Sue
" Q u e e n " Harley, t h e Eaglettes
held t h e visitors scoreless for the
first 12 minutes of play, t a k i n g
a 24-5 lead i n t o the locker room
with t h e m at half-time.
High
s c o r e r for the Eaglettes was
" M u r p h " D e t r a w i t h 14 tallies,
followed by Carol T h o r p e with
11 and Margo Miller w i t h 10;
Sharon T a y l o r added eight more.
A l t h o u g h it was a team victory
all the w a y Betsey Bagshaw stood
out as the g a m e ' s offensive
" h u s t l e r ; " she even w e n t so far
as to g o out of bounds to foul
an o p p o n e n t o n a t h r o w - i n !
Daily practice at t h e foul line
proved worthwhile as the Eaglettes w e n t five for five from
that c o u r t m a r k i n g .
O n T h u r s d a y , F e b r u a r y 10,
the b a b y Eaglettes, aUas the
Lock H a v e n J a y Vees, added another v i c t o r y to their many years
of undefeat by defeating the
varsity squad of J u n i a t a College
30-27 in a very good and wellplayed contest. Losing 6-3 in
the first quarter, t h e J.V.'s, led
by C a p t a i n Sandy E r b , tied the
game at 12-12 at half-time. A t
the t e r m i n a t i o n of the third
period, the score wass till tied
but at 2 2 - 2 2 ; however, the baby
Eaglettes pulled it o u t in the
final stanza 30-27. H i g h scorers
for Lock H a v e n were Deppen
with 7, Eshelman and M c G o u g h
with 6, and Sheere w i t h 5. J u d y
Launtz and Meg T a y l o r scored
13 and 9 points respectively for
Juniata.
E n d i n g a busy week, the varsity Eaglettes defeated t h e returning A l u m n a e team by a 4623 score on Saturday, February
12. H i g h scorer for the visitors

caught u p with Lehigh's national
champion, Billy Stuart.
The
pair tied 7-7 during the LehighN a v y dual meet, which N a v y
won 19-14 . . . It appears t h a t
Barry Y o n t z is headed for L H S .
Yontz possesses a 14-0 dual meet
record at 180 lbs. for Cedar Cliff
H i g h School this year . . . Mansfield coach Dr. W a l l y M. Maurer
will retire at the end of the present season . . . Bobby G u z z o lost
his first m a t c h in 32 when he
could n o t make his usual weight
of 123. H e moved up t o 137
and lost t o Brian Jones of Oswego State, 11-8 . . . W i t h o u t
anticipating any switching t h a t
will undoubtedly take place, t h e
top matches Saturday n i g h t will
probably be: Lorson vs. Taylor,
W a l t z vs. Sutter, ( 5 - 4 , W a l t z
won at W i l k e s ) , Sutter vs. J. or
B. Blacksmith, and Vargo, (depending on the score at this
p o i n t ) , vs. Swope, Elling, or M c Dermott.

T h e Lock H a v e n State wrestling team recorded its third shutout in the last four matches,
beating the Millersville matmen
44-0.
T h e Bald Eagles, under
Coach G r a y Simons, scored seven
pins and three convincing decisions enroute t o t h e victory.
Ken Melchior piled u p a 20-0
lead before scoring a pin at 8:41.
Bob Larson scored a well-earned
victory over McKeenan of Millersville by t h e score of 15-1.
Larson has looked impressive in
all his matches, including his loss
t o Bob G u z z o , E a s t Stroudsburg's fine wrestler. Jim Sanderson won his second varsity
m a t c h in a r o w as he decisioned
Shenk b y a score of 12-5. Sanderson is a promising freshman
from Phillipsburg H i g h . Adam
W a l t z wrestled the closest m a t c h
of t h e afternoon, b u t had little
trouble in beating Millersville's
Weiner, 7 - 3 .
Bill Blacksmith, at 152 lbs.,
scored a takedown, a reversal,
and five minutes and t h i r t y seconds of r i d i n g t i m e before
c l a m p i n g his o p p o n e n t ' s shoulders t o the m a t at 7:30.
Jim
Blacksmith followed his brother's
tactics and pinned Fisher in 3:30.
A t this point t h e team score was
24-0, and Millersville was n u m erically eliminated f r o m
the
match.
J o h n Smith wrestled
like a m a n in a h u r r y and
clamped T i r p a k t o t h e m a t in
less t h a n a m i n u t e of the first
period.
Smith appears headed
for certain national honors. H e
has lost only t o Nichols of N a v y
in t h e W i l k e s T o u r n a m e n t .
(Nichols, regular 167 pounder
for N a v y , saved the m a t c h for
his team against Lehigh by moving u p t o heavyweight and pinning his heavier opponent.)
T o m ElUng wrestled at 177
lbs. and evened his record on the
season b y p i n n i n g C r a m e r of the
Millers t o m a k e the team score
L . H . 34 M. O .
J e r r y Swope
continued the Eagles' pin scheme
as he flattened L a w r e n c e at
2:43.
This was the 8 6 t h victory
in t h e great career of the Lock
H a v e n wrestling captain.
Bob
M c D e r m o t t confirmed all reports t h e Millersville fans may
have heard pertaining t o him
when h e p i n n e d Millersville
heavyweight Groves in 0:49 of
the first period.
T h e greatest rivalry in the
history of the Pennsylvania State
College A t h l e t i c Conference will
resume t o m o r r o w night when
Bloomsburg State meets Lock
H a v e n ' s Bald Eagles in Thomas
Field House. All tickets have

Wednesday, February 9, t h e Bald
Eagle t a n k m e n met w i t h the
Ithaca swimmers, and came o u t
on t h e w i n n i n g end of a 53-41
score at the L H S C pool.
A t one point in t h e meet, the
Bald Eagles were o n the short
end of t h e score, b u t they really
churned up a s t o r m , and the
Ithaca swimmers were left s p u t tering in the wake.
Freshman D o n T o u c e y of Mt.
Lebanon won t w o events for
Lock H a v e n t a k i n g both the
2 0 0 - y a r d free style and the 500yard free style. D o n Faulkner,
a Williamsport junior, won the
50 and 100 free style events.
T o u c e y and Faulkner combined
forces w i t h D i c k G u y e r and Ed
H a z l e t t t o win the final event of
t h e meet. T h e fine physical conditioning and obvious k n o w - h o w
of these four L H S C swimmers
proved t o be t h e w i n n i n g factors as t h e y clinched the meet
for L o c k Flaven. H a z l e t t also
w o n t h e 200-yard backstroke in
2 : 2 6 . 7 , his second best t i m e in
three years of competition.
Second place wins were scored
b y Dennis C o u r t n e y in t h e individual medley and the 2 0 0 yard breast stroke.
Don Colbert placed second in t h e diving
event, Riley Eaton second in t h e
2 0 0 - y a r d butterfly, and Mike
B r o w n second in the 100.
D i c k G u y e r w h o has been ill
since early December was m a k ing his first appearance in a meet

sine t h a t time. H e took second
in t h e 500, and s w a m in t h e
