President Hamblin's "Grecian Graffitti"
by Jan Albright
In the background, the
tintinabulations of a Greek
sheep bell. We strolled
among the flowers surrounding die original temples of
Corinth, only later to marvel
at the architectural beauty
of the Parthenon. Standing
on the now peaceful plain of
Marathon, it was hard to
believe this once was die
scene of a great battle between the Greeks and Persians.
An instant later, ihe
tomb of Agamemnon, commander of Greek forces in
the Trojan war, lay before
us. Looking again, we passed by Plato's olive tree,
supposedly the only remaining tree from the grove where
he taught his pupils. And
then, we leaned back to
view the beauty of a "limpid
sea of cerulean blue."
This was nol a crazy
dream, nor is it the text of
a traveler's autobiography.
Taking us again "To the
Ends of the Earth," the
Faculty
Lecture
Series
transported Monday night's
audience to Greece with the
invaluable assistance of Dr.
Francis N. Hamblin, President of Lock Haven State.
Often a Battleground
Serving as executive
director for the U.S. Educational Foundation in Athens,
Dr. Hamblin lived in Greece
from 1953 to 1955. Both
insight and a genuine love
for Greece were demonstrated
as he spoke of the topography, the ancient wonders,
and the people of a country
that has been "more fought
over, more invaded, and more
written about than any other
piece of real estate in the
world."
A brief review of Greek
history began the program as
Dr. Hamblin spoke about
Crete and its Mincan civilizatic«,
the
first
major
civilization
in
Europe.
Later, using maps, he pointed out a number of islands
as well as landmarks and
important cities.
In the Greek way, Dr.
Hamblin clapped his hands
twice and the "magic lan-

tern" show, as he referred
to it, began. Our tour commenced and at once we were
subjected to the president's
photographic prowess, the
slides having been skillfully
shot and of great beauty.
Graffitti and Bureaucracy
The adage "one picture
is
worth one thousand
words" rang true as we
viewed the great diversity
and variety of the country.
Besides seeing structures
most people associate with
Greece, such as the Acropolis and Parthenon, there
were a few unexpected
sidetrips. Dr. Hamblin pointed out "the first graffitti",
a column of die Temple of
Athens where Lord Byron
wrote his name.
The evening was interspersed with Dr. Hamblin's
natural wit, addng yet
another dimension to the
presentation. At one point
he referred to Procrustes,
who tied travelers to his bed
and made them fit. If their
legs were too short, he
stretched them; if they were
too long, he cut them off. Dr.
Hamblin was quick to add
that
Procrustes was probably the "originator of
bureaucracy."
Ending his presentation
with a number of Greek
characteristics. Dr. Hamblin
stressed the importance of
individualism in Greece and
the fact that the political
interest is more in personalities than in the issues at
stake. The Greeks also have
a great love for noise, as
demonstrated by a constant
ringing of church bells, but
are also very courteous and
realistic.

Greece, an "apple of
discord," because of its
attractiveness
and
also
having been the cause of
numerous fights, wars, and
invasions, was brought a
little closer to the 44 who
shared in Dr. Hamblin's
fascinating
presentation.

Finishing his slides, he
said "The western civilization as we know it and
live it and like it, for the
most part, is due to Greece.
Go there."
Thanks to you. Dr.
Hamblin, we did.

Need for clarification
Dear Editor;
In regards to the Eagle
Eye articles of March 22
and 25 concerning the
Women's Dorm Council we
feel there is a need for
clarification of the following
points;
1. Women's Dorm Council
is not funded by the activity
fees paid to the SCC. It is
a self supporting group which
gets its funds from the
profits
of
the
vending
machines located in the
women's halls.
2. This money is used to
support
residencV
hall
programs and to meet the
common needs of the women
resident students. It therefore
can not be used or donated
to other organizations, such
as the Women 's Swimming
Team as stated in article of
March 25.
3. The purpose of attending
the Intercollegiate Association of Women Students'
National Convention is to
gain ideas to bring back to
strenghten future residence
hall programs.
4. The following is a segment of the program we offered
this year. These activities
were a direct result of
attendence at the national
convention last year.
a. Women's Week • November 14-18.

Nov. 12, 4:30-6;30 -Films
for and about women; g:00
HOPS speakers.
Nov. 13, 8:00 • 'Self Help'
Clinic-Lolly
and
Jeanne
Hirsch.
Nov. 14, "What After Graduation" Panel of women
faculty speakers.
b. Women's Dorm Council all
day Workshop at Sieg Conference Center.
c. Bill Miller Self Defense.
d. Distribution of pamphlets
concerning Birth Control,
Abortion, Veneral Disease
(to be distributed upon
arrival-w.vre ordered March 6)
e. Warren Farrell- April 1,
"Beyond Masculinity",
We, the Executive Board of
the Women's Dorm Council,
are certain that attendance
at the 1974 Intercollegiate
Association of Women Students will only serve to
strengthen residence hall
programs even further.

Concerning
searches,
the federal and state constitutions protect the right of
privacy and freedom from
unnecessary invasion of
that right. As a "head of a
household" a student residing
in his own apartment receives the same protection as
any self sustaining adult.
A landlord may reserve
the right to enter the leased
premises to inspect. How-

ever, this does not entitle
the landlord to admit others
to search the premises.
To
protect
himself,
before moving in a tenant
should go through the apartment and check for damages
on the premises. A list of
all damages should be made,
and then signed by the
landlord. The landlord will
probably want to make his
own
inspection
before
signing.
