Applied Journalism makes T.V. shows chapin win
By BILL STERNER
Staff Reporter
"There's a lot of blue sky
in the future of cable television," predicted James
Vickers in an interview with
Dr. William Reich before a
small audience in Raub Hall
last Thursday afternoon.
Vickers, who has had extensive work experience in the
new industry of cable television, was on campus to speak
of ilic progress ihai has been
made in the media over recent
years.
"When the idea of cable
television came up, money and
equipment were no problem,"
said Vickers, who now resides
in nearby Lewistown. "The
problem ^was getting the
necessary talent to run the
show. It wasn't around, so we
had to develop it." Cable
television was conceived in the
mountain regions of the
United States, but has been
expanding ever since.
This semster. Dr. William
Reich's Applied Journalism
class is preparing programs
for Channel 10 on the local
cable. The programs will begin
on Thursday, February 12, at
7:00 p.m., and run until 11:00
p.m.
Vickers had some advice
for the students concerning
the programming of local
shows. Vickers himself was
introduced to cable television
in Kent, Ohio. He worked
there on programs that were
made with the cooperation of
the town and the college.
"To be successful,"
Vickers related, "You need
one or two solid programs of
high local interest. If you get
the local people on T.V.,
interest will abound. People
always want to see themselves."
If the interest level continues to be high in the surround-

ing area, Vickers believes that
Lock Haven may have pay
television available to the
residents within 60 days.
"The service will be optional with a six to eight dollar
per month fee. The programm-

ing will be some current major
motion pictures that will run
on an uninterested basis,"
Vickers said. He also reported
that the idea had been introduced in various other parts of
the United States, and had
worked well.

Polish exchange is planned for fall
By FRED SCHULTZ
News Editor
Plans are now in the final
stages for an exchange program, starting in September
with the country of Poland.
According to Dr. Marcus
Konick, an exchange of 10
students and at least one
professor is planned.
The exchange, Konick
explained, will be with the
Adam Mickiewicz University
in Poznam, Poland. Financially, it will be based on the
conditions for which the
Nottingham exchange was
made, except that the Polish
government has arranged to
pay the "spending money" for
the American students along

with special rates for travel.
Students who will go to
Poland will be required to take
one course in the Polish
language, but may take any of
a variety of other courses
there. Manyfieldtrips, including various tours are planned
for the American students
while they are attending the
university.
Professor Charles R.
Kent, who went to Europe last
summer, is the coordinator of
the exchange.
A meeting of some Polish
officials with President F. N.
Hamblin is scheduled for
March. A reception for them is
also planned along with a trip
to Europe in April when

Hamblin will meet with Polish
officials to discuss the plans
for the exchange. Also in
April, a meeting is planned in
Washington, D.C. involving
all the colleges in the United
States which will be having
exchanges with Poland.
Any student interested in
going to Poland should apply
immediately through either
Konick or Kent. Applications
should be made immediately
because the exchange involves
not only this college, but all of
the state collegs. Students who
have already made applications and all applicants from
LHS college will be given top
preference.

'Midnight Lightning' - Jimi Hendrix
This is a must album for every Hendrix fan. The LP contains five
new Hendrix songs and three old ones. The old ones are done in a
way you've never heard them done before.
For you people who wonder who directs these albums, because
Hendrix has been dead for six years, well, his name is Brad Baker.
He is also the musical director for "Crash Landing." Baker takes
these Hendrix tapes that were recently found in an attic and
usually cuts out all music except Jimi's guitar and lyrics. This
means you won't hear Hendrix's old band members like Noel
Redding, Mitch Mitchell, Buddy Miles or Billy Cox. Baker adds
Bob Babbit on bass, Alan Schwartzberg on drums and Jeff
Mironov as back guitarist. The new conglomeration is fantastic.
The new band seems to be tighter. Too bad Jimi will never know
how good his new band sounds.
The first song of "Midnight Lightning" is "Trash Man." It's
the best cut off the album. There are no words to the song, it is
strictly instrumental. There is some very fine lead guitar and drum
work. The drums have a deep sound which really sticks out. The
next song is "Midnight Lightning." It contains three giris for
back-up vocals (which Hendrix rarely used while alive).
The next song, "Hear My Train A-Coming" was done by
Hendrix at Woodstock. This work contains some lightning fast

By MARY FEUSNER
Women's Sports Editor
The Eaglette swimmers
splashed their way to their
third win of the season on
Thursday afternoon as they
defeated Wilkes College by a
score of 89-37. In the process,
nine varsity and pool records
were shattered.
The meet opened with the
400 medley relay team of
Elliott, Weber, Schaal and
Kreibel setting a record with a
time of 4:50.36. Lock Haven
then took the first two places
in the 200 yd. fi-eestyle. With a
time of 2:14.21, Bev Hofman
set another school record.
Teammate Carol Harr finished
in second behind Hofman.
The 200 yd. individual medley was swept by Lock Haven's
Selma Bjorklund with a record
time of 2:26.54. Backstroker
Becky Elliott "did her thing,"
breaking the records in the 50
and 100 yd. backstroke competition. Elliott's times were
30.37 and 1:08.30, respectively. Ellen Ralston finished
strong for a second in the 100
yd. backstroke.
Linda Saxinger, Heidi Weber and Doreen Sauer didn't
allow the Wilkes swimmers to
place in the 50 yd. breaststroke event. Saxinger's time
of 36.02 set the fifth record of
the afternoon.
Elen Ralston's 27.8 in the
SO yd. freestyle event was time
enough to break another Zimmerii pool record. Teammate
Ann Kriebelfinishedin second
place behind Ralston. Eaglettes Schaal and Hoffinan
swept first and second in the
50 yd. butterfly.

With swimming at a standstill the attention was turned
to the 1 meter diving. Eaglette

second place in this competition with a total of 116.05
points. This was the only event
of the day in which Wilkes

guitar. Hendrix was known for his ability to scurry his fingers up
and down the guitar and never get tired. The last song on this side
is "Gypsy Boy." It's a mellow tune (something like "Hey Joe.")
The second side starts off with "Blue Suede Shoes" which is an
old Hendrix tune. The next song "Machine Gun" was originally a
twenty minute number on "The Band of Gypsys" LP. It is
considerably shorter on this album. At times, it sounds like a
completely different song compared to the original one.
The song "Once I had a Woman" is a blues number. The last
song is "Beginnings" which sounds alot like "Rainy Day" off the
'Electric Ladyland' LP.
This album is no doubt one of Hendrix's greatest, but 1 rate it a
B plus.
