Lock Haven State College, Lock Haven, Pennsylvania

Development of Character
"Culture and Personality,"
led by Mrs. Nicholson, will be
concerned with the w a y s in
which social institutions shape
the development of character
among peoples a r o u n d the
world. Readings in the course
will concentrate on descriptions
of cultural behavior, ideals of
character, and child rearing
practices in non-Western societies.
A third seminar, "The American Identity," led by Dr. Lease,
will discuss important documents defining the American
c h a r a c t e r from colonial times
to the present.
The seminars — a distinctive
feature in Lock Haven's new
Liberal Arts program—are part
of a series, " L a n d m a r k s in

Liberal Arts
Three new Liberal Arts seminars are scheduled for the
spring semester, according to
Dr. Benjamin Lease, Dean of
Liberal Arts.
"Creative Expression in the
Modern World" will explore recent developments in the a r t s
and examine the vital role of
the artist in our times. The
course will be given by Dr.
Deer, coordinator, Mr. Johnston, and Mr. Schwarz. While
past seminars h a v e always
brought in visiting lecturers,
this is the first attempt at full
collaboration by several teachers. All three instructors will
be present at all class meetings. Dr. Handley will serve
as a resource person for those
aspects of the course dealing
with the theatre.

Devonian Age Fossil Found
by Melanie Thomas
Recently two workmen, Mr.
William Wadsworth and Mr.
Byron Martin, working on the
construction of the new classroom building behind High Hall,
c a m e across what appeared to
be the fossil remains of a snaillike animal. S e n s i n g that it
might be something that would
be of interest to the school, they
carefully cut the surrounding
rock with a diamond bit and
sent it to Mr. George Hayfield,
geologist in the Science Department.
Investigation by Mr. Hayfield
revealed that it was the remains of the shell of a cephalopod, an ancestor of the modern
squid. The animal lived approximately three hundred million
years ago in the Devonian Period of geologic time. It is a
m e m b e r of the phylum Mollusca, of which the snail is also a
m e m b e r . The cephalopod is a
meat-eating animal who lived
in the ocean, possessing tubes
and other apparatus which enabled it to rise and sink in the
water, much like a submarine.
It was found enclosed in shale,
indicating that this a r e a was
once covered by shallow water.
The fossil is now in Mr. Hayfield's care ^nd will be displayed in one of the show cases
in Ulmer Hall. Students will
certainly find it interesting to
stop and look at this relic which
was found on the campus.

dangers of McCarthyism and
by the calm acceptance that
there existed a natural equation between intelligence and
disloyalty. Hofstadter has attempted to trace the impulse of
anti-intellectualism throughout
our country's experience and
his study is fascinating, if hardly sheering, reading.
As the design of his book he
studies the overlapping growth
of the basic sources of American anti-intellectualism. T h e
earliest source would seem to
be evangelical religion with its
insistence on faith before reason. As this force waned, it was
followed by Jacksonian democracy. After the Civil War, the
rise of big business promoted
another w a v e of ignorance.
Finally and perhaps most discouraging, Hofstadter s h o w s
the American school system a s
the strongest current source.
The section on religion is perhaps the wittiest. Hofstadter indicates the scope of the struggle n e c e s s a r y in the early
churches before a seminary education could be required. The
circuit riders were certain that
a college education would ruin
a m a n for the Gospel and had
all marmer of things to say
about the wicked ways young
m e n would learn in college. As
higher education became widely required for the ministry,
the enemies of such learning
were forced into the evangelican sects along the fringe of
organized religion. The l o w
point was reached with the
notorious Billy Sunday and Mr.
Hofstadter's handling of t h e
Rev. Sunday deserves to be
definitive.
Jacksonian democracy with
its spoils system w a s based
upon a highly favorable concept
of the common m a n . Jackson
felt that any reasonably capable person could operate a government bureau and while he,
himself, did not turn many of
t h e professional government
workers out of their jobs, his
concept was quickly accepted
by later administrations as a
s i m p l e method of rewarding
p a r t y workers. Hofstadter is
very much at home with this
m a t e r i a l and his complex disc u s s i o n is exceptionally relaxed. He relates the campaign
of 1840 in which the Whigs conspired to remake a third-rate
general into the heroic image
of a Jackson. He details the
letters of the leading politicians
to each other voicing their disgust and delight at the probable
success of the campaign. And
it worked: the dapper, intelligent Van Buren was roundly
defeated by William H e n r y
Harrison ("Tippecanoe and Tyler t o o ! " ) . Fortunately, p e r haps, the general only lived for
31 days in oflfice.
Hofstadter is quite concerned
with the status of our public

The ENQUIRING EYE
by Penny Close, Rod Fowler
THE QUESTION: Should the Federal Government guarantee an
opportunity for higher education to all qualified high school graduates?

f'
Tobias

Osborne

Carol Tobias—Clearfield, Elementary
No. This would place the
Federal Government too close
to a position through which it
could rigidly control the thinking of American students. The
qualified graduate who cannot
finance his way through college
is the only reason for a change
ih federal regulation. This individual could be adequately
provided for if existing institutes of higher learning would
develop more extensive aid programs. Then the need for federal intervention w o u l d be
erased.
Ron Osborne—Tyrone, Elementary
No. Strict Federal control will
only be a step toward a more
school systems, a s well he
might be. He is a l a r m e d that
many American educators took
the ideas of John Dewey for
educating the slow students and
applied them to all students.
He indicates that the exceptionally intelligent child is just
as much a problem for many
teachers as a r e the lame, the
halt, and the blind. He, as have
been so m a n y others, is incensed by the insensitivity and
lack of vitality that is characteristic of much of American
educational philosophy. T h e
lack of vision and the confusion
over the purpose of education
are still with us. Many of the
teachers in the field, more so

This brief review can not begin to convey the scope of Hofstadter's study. The book is
filled with acute insights and
little known examples. There is
a valuable attempt at explaining why Americans have consistantly used the intellectual as
a scapegoat. As Hofstadter describes how we seem to degrade our leaders before we
will permit them to lead, I was
reminded of the way Robert
Frost w a s accepted nationally
only as the eccentric codger.

Many students who have the
intelligence for higher education cannot afford to go to a
top rate college. If the Federal

students, they would be able to

THE EAGLE EYE

Pittsburgh
Final Stop
For Eagles

IN
THE
EAGLE'S
NEST
by Don Wagner, Sports Editor
Tomorrow afternoon the curtain will fall on all but one of Lock
Haven State's fall varsity sports. The Bald Eagle's football squad
will entertain Indiana State College in their season finale on the
Spring Street Stadium Field at 1:30, while Coach George Lawther's booters journey to "Steeltown" to face the always talented
Pitt Panthers. The thinclads will be at Slippery Rock, where
Coach Dan Corbin's young team will participate in the annual
State College meet. This m a r k s the first time in twelve years
that Lock Haven will be represented in the all-conference meet.
The girls' field hockey, which still has two more week-ends of
action remaining, will participate in the
Central Pennsylvania Tournament tomorrow and Sunday.
To the surprise of many sportscasters
over the Commonwealth, our Cross Country t e a m m a y fair a lot better than they
a r e forecasting — especially one young
sophomore runner by the n a m e of J e r e
Shiner. Shiner, who has been consistently running anywhere from, four to twelve
miles a day, during the past month, can
be counted on for a strong showing tomorrow. The ex-Manheim athlete has
been a consistent winner for Coach Corbin this year.
Back on the gridiron scene we can
p r e p a r e for an interesting "final a c t " at Spring Street Stadium
tomorrow. A tremendous upset could be waiting off stage for our
hard-luck eleven, or a depressing thrashing at the hands of
mighty Indiana State could develop. No one is making any predictions around c a m p u s about the game, but we feel the stage is set
for the big one—we go with the Bald Eagles, 27-26. As a sidenote
it is interesting to note that Indiana State is favored by four touchdowns according to the Saylor Scoring System. Also to m a k e
things even more embarrassing, Indiana is ranked sixth nationally in total offense and scoring in the N. A. I. A.
If Indiana's flashy football t e a m won't be enough to keep you
guessing tomorrow, it's a sure bet the Red and White's 96-piece
all male marching band will. The large marching band, with all
its formations, is always a big halftime attraction for the spectators.
On the soccer field at Pittsburgh, Coach Lawther's eleven will
attempt to break a seven y e a r jinx, which the P a n t h e r s have
held over the Bald Eagles since 1956. Lock Haven has failed to
dent the win column against the "Steelmen" since the series has
begun. Last year, Pitt won, 3-1, and again this y e a r we feel our
up and down soccer t e a m will lose again—in a close one. Pitt
earlier in the season just missed stopping Maryland's 21-game
winning streak by a single goal. The streak ended two week ago
at Annapolis, when the Middies squeaked by the Terrapins, 3-2,
in overtime.
The field hockey t e a m continues to dominate Lock Haven's
fall sports program, as they again have the best win-loss record
of any varsity t e a m .
A special salute goes out from our sports staff to Joe Enedy,
Bill Lynch, Lou Mascaro, Mike Minnucci and Dick Peterson, who
are graduating seniors, and will be playing their final collegiate
football game tomorrow. Also a tip of the hat goes out to graduating soccer players Ed Journey, Gary Orwig, George Titzell and
Bruce Wetherland.
With Old Man winter just around the " m a t , " Assistant Coach
Tom Beaver is busily conditioning the grapplers for the upcoming season. A strong crop of freshmen and underclassmen are
reported out, with another crew of wrestlers due after this weekend, when the fall sports season closes for men.
Iowa State, University of Michigan, and Cornell University
are only a few of the many talented schools which Lock Haven
has on its slate for the 1963-64 season.
According to a sports bulletin from Bloomsburg State, the
Huskies plan to schedule a pre-season s c r i m m a g e with the U. S.
Naval Academy and like the Bald Eagles plan to slate West
Point Military Academy.

their final home appearance the
booters trounced Slippery Rock

Saturday a g a i n s t Slippery

with two goals, Don Leese with
two, and captain Gary Orwig,
and Ron Miller with one each
that supplied the scoring punch
in which the Eagles evened
their season record at 4 wins,
4 losses and the 2 ties. Captain
Orwig still maintains his scoring lead of the squad with 7
goals followed by Van D e m a r k
with 5, and Leese and Miller

Last week they evened their
record against Bucknell's J . V . ' s
by beating them 2-1, after having lost to them by the s a m e
score. In the J. V.'s first outing
of the season they topped Penn
State 3-1, a repeat victory would
be needed to bring them a winning season, a first for the Lock

Shiner Shines,
But Eagles Bow
To Susquehanna
by Jim Salmond
Venturing to Susquehanna on
October 24 was our Lock Haven
cross-country team. The previous week in a triangular meet
the Susquehanna Crusaders h a d
barely edged out a victory from
our Eagles. Thus there was a n
optimistic air about the impending meet, and the hope for
the t e a m s second victory. However several factors hindered
the c h a n c e s of the Eagles.
First, we were traveling to a
course unfamiliar to this y e a r s
new team. Second, Walt (Sumo)
Thurnau carried to Susquehanna a badly abscessed tooth.
As predicted the two detracting factors were responsible for
an Eagle loss. Jim Ameigh
while running second took a
wrong turn, thus costing the
team a possible one-two finish.
This cannot be blamed entirely
on Jim but the previously mentioned unknown course. Thurneau with his abscessed tooth
was forced from the meet, by
doctors orders. As it turned out
the only consolation of the day
was the brilliant running of
J e r r y Shiner. Shiner has been
a standout this year having
taken several first places and
a course record at St. Francis.
Following Shiner for Lock Haven were Kehr, F r a n k Sponhauer, and J i m Ameigh. The
final score was 26-45, the Eagles
losing.
