LHS J u n i o r Writes Book O n
Easf of G e t t y s b u r g '
LOCK'HAVEN - A childhood
icteres t in the B a t t l e of
Gettysburg and in General
George A. Custer has led to the
publication of a book by David F
Riggs, 20, a junior at Lock Haven
State College.
" E a s t of Gettysburg," is an
account of a key cavalry
engagement
between
Confederate
General
J.E.B.
Stuart and General George
Armstrong Custer, commander

of the Second
(Michigan)
Cavalry Brigade. The 78-page
book, out in October, is complete
with maps and color photographs
by the author.
R i g g s scholarly interest in the
part which Custer played in the
Battle of Gettysburg began
during his high school years in
Morrisville, Pa.
He made at least a dozen trips
to the scene of the battle, tracing

the events which took place
during this decisive engagement.
The Gettysburg- National
.Military Park Library provided
the original newspaper accounts,
diaries, field orders, battle
maps, and other primary sources
which enabled him to document
Custer's defeat of Stuart, which
contributed to the failure of the
Confederate
attack
against
Cemetery Ridge by Pickett.
Although hundreds of volumes
have been written about the
Battle of Gettysburg, Riggs says
he found no single volume
devoted to Custer's participation
or to the battle which occurred
at what is now called the East
Cavalry Battlefield.
"East of Gettysburg" provides
a scholarly account of the battle
and, in the view of the writer,
corrects some of the mistaken
assumptions about General
Custer.

out the falseness of the myth that
Custer's promotion from first
lieutenant to brigadier general at
age 23 was due to political

Bookstore Hopes To
Squelch Rumors
Squelching campus rumors
that the SCC is going bankrupt, Mr. Farley Latta said
today that " T h e r e will be
sufficient money over tlie fiscal year to meet all program
requirements." He a l s o suggests that the student activity fee be regulated annually
acccfding to the varying program demands .
The r urn or that the SCC
would go bankrupt was apparently caused by the absence
of a "surplus fund" on the
first quarter fiscal repcrt of
the council. Mr. Latta ha?
eliminated the unnecessary
" p a d d i n g " of the SCC budget
with a surplus fund because
" I t is not desirable to have a
surplus. Through good management we should not be
taxing the student above anf
beyond r e a s o n . "
Previously, extra money
was s e t aside in a surplus
fund in addition to the required
emergency fund on the SCC
budget. This fund is too easily relied upon, according to
Mr. • Latta, s o that this year
for example, with football
bringing in only $4,700 against
its " p r o m i s e d " revenue of
$6,000, there remained a $1300
deficit which was assumed
would be made up by the surplus fund.
As a better
business
practice, that i s , approved
by the state auditors, all revenue of the SCC except the
required emergency fund has
been allotted for student activities. Because there is no
surplus fund to rely on in the
case of over-expenditure, Mr.
Latta in his fiscal report also
urged " c l o s e r scrutiny of exSome p e o p l e will b e l i e v e any*

The fiscal repcrt accounts
for an expected income from
all sources of $186,875 with
an equal amount distributed
to over forty student a c t i v i t i e s .
As of October 15th, $72,000
had been received in revenue
with a like amount already

Referring to his report
concerning the recent bankruptcy rumors he a d d e d , " I f

The techniques employed by

effective. Some ofthe techniques
presented were the a c c e n t s of
the performers, not uising any
scenery or setting a t a l l , no
c o s t u m e s , and great lighting on
the parts of Nell Fastman and
Frank Stone added much to the
atmosfhere of the performances.

I would like to reply to Mr.
Gene Winter's recent letter in
Eagle Eye in which he takes
a pro-abortion s t a n d . Mr. Winter
seems to be saying in his article
that the social a s p e c t s which
develop after the birth of an
unwanted child are s o great
that they justify an abortion.
It is s e n s e l e s s and incorrect
to say that there is life at twelve
weeks and no life a t eleven
w e e k s . However, it is indisputable that from the moment of
conception, the sex of the child
is determined, the color of the
hair and eyes is determined, and
all other physical traits are
determined.
Immediately after
conception the embryo starts to
rep-oduce body c e l l s . It grows
larger sa\& larger and becomes
more developed every second

until birth.
The distinguishing characteristic of life is growth. The
c e s s a t i o n of growth is the c e s s a tion of life. And, when an abor' tion
is performed, growth is
stopped and life is destroyed.
Thus,
discontinuing
the
growth of an unborn fetus is
killing. And, morally and spiritually killing is wrong. For one
to feel that abortions are a c c e p t a b l e , he must a l s o feel that
killing is a c c e p t a b l e .
It is very sad to s e e that
our moral and religious values
have deteriorated to such a degree that we can now openly
accept killing if we feei it is
beneficial to us as individuals
and to society a s a whole.
Sincerely yours,
Willie Breon
