Simons Awarded
forAccompiisment
The greatest wrestler in
Lock Haven State College history and probably the greatest
collegiate wrestler in history
was elected to the Amateur
Wrestling Hall of Fame last
week.
E . Gray Simons, former
LHS wrestling and LHS coach
from 1965-1970, was elected by
the United Savings-Helms Athletic Foundation Board to the
Hall of Fame and becomes the
second LHS coach to achieve
that honor. Hubert H. Jack was
elected to the Hall of Fame in
1964 after compiling a 153-39-5
record, the best in NAIA history, from 1943-1964.
Simons was named for his
accomplishments on the mats

News gave the following d e s cription of Simons in their March
17 i s s u e :
" E l l i o t Gray Simons, now
nead coach at Indiana State
University, Terre Haute, Ind.,
was a four-time NAIA champion
and a three-lime NCAA champion
at Lock Haven Stale College,
and was named outstanding
wrestler in six of these tournaments, 1959 through 1962. He
was a member of the I960 and
1964 U. S. Olympic freestyle
teams. In four years of wrestling
at Lock Haven he was beaten
only once in college competition and won 84 consecutive
bouts."
Ill addition to his NAIA
crowns, Simons also captured
four Pennsylvania Conference
titles and two Wilkes Tournament crowns.
His 84 consecutive victories
were aii NC.\.\ record until last

Rally Planned
for Jewry

imi^'^f /

Litter.
Itfe enough to
make you sick

On April 4, 1971, there will
be a rally for Soviet Jewry on
the steps of the state capitol in
Harrisburg. T h e rally was organized tn give every concerned
citizen throughout the state of
Pennsylvania
the opportunity
to show his c o n c c n to our state
leaders and our s t a l e ' s representatives to Congress. The
theme of the rally is, 'Three
Million E q u a l s Haif Of .A Holocaust. Don't Let II Happen
Again!'
The rally will serve three
purposes. First, it will inform
citizens of Pennsylvania of the
nature of the oppression of
Soviet J e w s . Second, we will
ask our s t a t e leaders and i epresentatives to officially protest to the Soviet Union Government. The third purpose will be
to ask for an economic boycott
of Pennsylvania goods to Russia
until those people who want to
go to Israel are allowed lo, and
those Jews who want to stay in
the Soviet Union are treated
humanely.
Speaking at the rally will
be Rabbi Dr. Bernard A. Poupko,
who has made several trips to
the Soviet Union and is well
acquainted with the problem,
and tentatively Senator Hugh
Scott and Governor Milton Shapp.
Also speaking will be leaders of
the Catholic and
Protestant
faiths and Civil Rights leaders.
Here is a chance for every
citizen of Pennsylvania who is
concerned about the rights of
those more than three million
Soviet J e w s , to do something
concrete aboul Uiat concern!
P l e a s e don'l be silent! Don'l
let those people, who so desperately
need
your
support,
down!
Plan to be in Harrisburg
about Noon (a definite meeting
place will be announced in the
near future) on April 4, to show
your concern for Soviet Jewry
and the rights of humanity, to
your s t a t e officials.
Please
take one day off to prevent the
physical and cultural genocide
of more than three million people!! It will help!!
See you on .April 4 in Harrisbur g!!

MID-TERM BLUES

To The Editor:
'Speak clearly if you speak
at all. Carve every word before
you let it fall.' Oliver Wendell
Holmes could have had our
campus newspaper on his mind
when he wrote this appropriate
quotation. I believe the printing
of the Eagle Eye to meet a daily
deadline is too immense a task
for the papers' staff. Saddled by
the responsibility of printing
the paper daily with the factors
of insignificant time, over-worked
staff, and incidental supervision
seems to bury the paper in a
deluge of chaos. Gross grammatical errors are found daily in
the paper. Bias in reporting was
exhibited in the recent SCC
election
news
coverage. A
general state of upheaval is the
total effect the Eagle Eye reader
receives.
I am aware that the glories
reaped by the staff of the L.H.
S.C. newspaper are few. Also
the time and energy needed to
get the press rolling is enormous. Nevertheless a task worth
undertaking deserves a job well
done.
A means of alleviating the
Eagle Eye's
chaotic problems
would be the i s s u a n c e of the
paper weekly or biweekly. Also
a membership drive for enthusiastic participants could help ease
the production fatigue. Proofreading by faculty members and
at least three students should
be e s s e n t i a l standards to follow
before the printing of every
article. Extensive investigation
by the reporters should accompany every article.
Rhetorical
defenestration
of the Eagle Eye is heard everywhere on campus; maybe with
the enactment of necessary
improvements the caustic voices
could be muffled or stopped.
Sincerely,
Janice Okonski
hlditor's Note:
It is true that Eagle
Eye
does make errors. We have never
claimed
to be a
professional
paper. We are human and therefore do make mistakes.
If you
are interested in improving upon
Ihe quality of the student newspaper. Eagle Eye welcomes any
and all help.
