1 Fried's Book O f Phobias Reviewed

.ary

Dedicated to Richard the
I.ion-Hearted, Who's .^Xfraid? -The
Pliohii-'s
ilaiidbooli
by
Barbara Fried runs the gamut
from Aniety to Space Phobia
with
such
rare, non-garden
varieties of phobias as fear of
exhaust pipes, bowls of waxed
fruit, hippopotamuses and tuna
fish thrown in for good measure
(McGraw-Hill, $5.95).
Presented in a wry and
witty style, this array of human
fears and hangups will provide
many a chuckle for the nonphobic
reader:
phobias
are
intrinsically funny — to other
people. Persons who do have
unreasonable fears will discover
in these pages that they are
neither alone nor beyond help.
As Mrs. F"ried notes, it is
true that " i n a world where
television s e t s radiate silent
menace in a corner of your living
room, and where the very air
you breathe is killing you, the
line between what is and what
is not realistically dangerous
does lend lo rather fuzzy. Nonet h e l e s s , everyone will probably
agree that caterpillars, c a t s ,
thunder, a bowl of fruit, blood,
going over a bridge, the dark,
automobile tailpipes, going to
school, and butterflies are not
in themselves harmful; yet all
these things terrify somebody.
A phobic will even admit that
large shiny green leaves cannot
possibly hurt him. After admitting
it, however, he will go righl on
being afraid. And the more you
try to talk him oul of il, the
quicker you make him go elsewhere."
Furthermore,
the
author
points out, the phobic's anxiety
is out of proportion to the actual
risk even when a real hazard is
involved, as in flying.

Hearings Begun For
Department

Billon Dollar

WASHINGTON (WCNS)-- The explosive issue of "war r e s e a r c h , "
which attracted so much attention
on the campuses a year ago,
resurfaced here several weeks
ago the slarl of new Senate
hearings on the Defense Department's
(DOD) $7.88
billion
request
for
"research
and
development."
This figure includes $205
million for the academic e s t a b lishment. But the significant
fact in this request, according
to Dr. Carl M. York of the White
House's Office of Science and
Technology, is that the Administration is quietly shifting its
priorities
for funding
basic
research.
In an interview on the stale
of "war r e s e a r c h " after last
Spring's demonstrations brought
the issue to national atlenlion,
York noted that the DOD share
of academic research not only
has decreased from the level of
the last year of the Johnson
administration ($252.8 million),
but a l s o has been s u r p a s s e s for
the second year by the share
allotted to the National Science
Foundation (NSF) ($387 million
in 1972 v s . $212.6 million in
1969.)
Countering
protestors'
arguments that DOD money h a s
no place in a university campus,
York said that the academic
community h a s a very n e c e s s a r y
role to play in the DOD.
"Our underlying assumption
is that DOD should not be banned
from the academic community,"
from the academic community,"
he began.
First off, "ROTC must be
maintained in order to insure
that a volunteer army's officer
corps not include bool-camptypes without a leavening idea
in their h e a d s . "
second, DOD needs the
new ideas generated by b a s i c
research grants on university
campuses.
Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.,
accepted this assumption last
year, too, York suggested, when
he succeeded in amending the
DOD appropriation bill to restrict
research grants "strictly defense
-related p r o j e c t s . "
" I think Sen. Mansfield's
intent," York said, " w a s to
warn the research establishment
lo carry out a careful scrutiny
of all projects, m s amendment
had its desired effect: to make
other departments a s well as
Defense sharpen up their procedures and shape up their
programs."
Although
the
amendment
no longer applies in the new
budget, York said, the Administration is not seeking to increase DOD funds on campus.
"The
presence of DOD
money on c a m p u s , " York emphasized, " i s completely unrelated to the Vietnam War. I'he
academic community's message
on this subject comes through
loud and clear; 'Get Out Of
Vietnam Now.' The Presiuent
is answering that consistently
with 'We're Trying.' "
" O n c e that issue is clear
in everyone's mind," he added,
" T h e n you can say with salety
that every thinking member of
the university community recognizes that ours is nol Utopia;

behavior can only mean that the
phobic is not reacting to the
object itself but that, instead,
the object must stand for something e l s e , although only to him—
and that something else is what
h e ' s responding to. Which is to
say that a phobic object, idea,
or situation is actually a projection of an anxiety-provoking
idea that your conscious mind
doesn't want to know about, bul
that
your unconscious
mind
insists in thinking about anyway.
" T h e trouble is that the
unconscious doesn't know from
being reasonable, and the damn
thing never forgets,"
Basically, Who's
Afraid?
is a descriptive book about
phobias — whal causes them, who
has them, what they are like,
how wc react to them, what some
of the :.iore prevalent ones are,
and what they mean psychologically and socially. It owes its
charming and captivating quality
to the talent of Barbara Fried,
author of the popular The Middle• U'c Cri.s-i.s-, and Seymour Chwast,
partner in the famous Push-Pen
Studios, whose elegant
and
sardonic
illustrations
have
graced the media in every form:
his Liltle-Man-Afraid with hair
standing up on end enhances
the sophisticated, light text and
is a delight to the eye.
Although the book's main
approach is humorous, the information it provides is technically
and
psychologically
accurate. All pertinent approaches to treatment are outlined and
explained. Its main value to a
reader — besides being thouroughly
entertaining — is help in allaying his anxieties and shame
about being phobic: phobias are
so irrational that mosl sufferers
do not even admit having them.

Fred Zimmerman
Scholarship Fund At LHS
LOCK HAVEN- A sciiolarship
fund in memory of Fred 0 .
Zimmermann, a s s i s t a n t professor
of German at LHS who died
November 1970 at the age of 37,
has been established by Mr.
Zimmermann's parents and the
college faculty.
The fund will be administered
by the " F r i e n d s of Lock Haven

A
grant-in-aid
will

In addition, scholarship achievement awards of ten dollars each
will be given to three outstanding
foreign language majors each
year.
Donations came from Harry

parents of the deceased who
resided with him in Mill Hall,
and from faculty members of
Lock Haven State. Mr. I ee Van

the faculty committee
which

s i n c e 1967, having previously
taught at Queens College in
Flushing, N.Y. He was a 1955
graduate of Queens College and
earned his master's degree at
Hofstra University.
In establishing the memorial
fund, the faculty committee said
of Professor Zimmermann, " H e

Walker won the 100 and 220
dashes in blistering times of
9.8 and 21.4 respectively. He
also anchored the 440 and mile
relay teams to victory.
The meet began with the
foursome of Steve G l a s s , Lou
Savani, Tom Allen and Walker
showing their superiority by
winning the 440 relay by over
ten yards. .\ thrilling mile relay
victory by the quartet of .'\llen,
Kurt Smith, Chuck Simcoe, and
Walker of one-half second over
Trenton iced the cake for the
E a g l e s . The 3:25.1 time for the
LHS baton p a s s e r s is the best
in the conference this year.
In between the relay events ,
many Bald Eagles performed as
standouts. Along with the relays,
the 100, mile, and three-mile
were instrumental in the LHS
victory.

Walker
closely in the 100 was G l a s s ,

The only other winner for
LHS was Randy K r e s s , with his
second straight 12 foot vaulting
performance in the pole vault .
Trenton Slate took seven firsts:
the same as LHS, while ESSC
could manage only three. The
depth of the Bald Eagles offset
that of Trenton, allowing LHS to
run ils s e a s o n a l record to 4-0.

Wednesday
evening in Ulmer Planetariuni
In a few years the local group
hopes to become affiliated with
the national organization.
Phi Kappa Phi is open to
s.-cond semester
juniors
and
s e n i o r s . Besides having a go^d
character, juniors must be in the
top five per cent of their c l a s s ,
and seniors must be in the upper

their c l a s s . Nine faculty members
and 32 students were invited to
form the new group.
According lo its constitution,
PKP is an "honor society dedicated to the unity and democracy
of education and is open to honor
sludents from all departments of
American u n i v e r s i t i e s . " Its main
objective is " t o emphasize scholarship and character
in the
thought of college students . . . "
Among the activities being
planned by the group for next
year are a fall assembly featuring
a local personality and a spring
