Vol. XVIII, No. 57
Tuesday, Jan. 20,1976
Trustees discuss many topics
According to a ruling by
the State Justice Department
in 1971, Lock Haven State
College was operating within
its legal perrogatives in making Bentley Dining Hall available for community purposes,
even though criticized last
November for doing so in a
report by the State Auditor
General, the Board of Trustees
was informed at its January 15
meeting by the college's president, Dr. Frank Hamblin.
Ui...,
two educators fi-om England
would be on campus in April to
discuss the college's student
exchange program with the
Nottingham College of Education, now known as Trent
Polytechnic of Qifton. Mr.
William Middlebrook, dean of
education, will be on campus

requested by the board, cited
the ruling during Thursday's
meeting which gave the college the right to administer its
own facilities. "On March 10,
1971, the Board of State
College and University Directors was informed by Commissioner Frederic Miller that
a ruling by the Department of
Justice gave the responsibility
for decisions on the use of
state colleges and university
facilities by a profit-making
organization to the Board of
Trustees of the concerned
institution, so long as there is
no cost to the Commonwealth," said Dr. Hamblin.
Dr. Hamblin also noted
that on August 18, 1972, the
Board of State College and
University Directors adopted
the following resolution.
"With the sole exception of
the need to respect the concept
of separation of church and
state, the state-owned institutions are reminded that there
are no state rules or regulations which limit the colleges
from permitting outside organizations to use campus facilities, subject to such reasonable rules, regulations, and
fees as the college shall

statements will put the matter
to rest." Dr. Hamblin told the

Fraternities seek
new housing site
Chi Alpha and Phi Mu Delta.
By J IM CORBETT
Staff Reporter
A number of fraternities
are in the process of looking
for new housing due to the
restrictions placed upon them
by the Health Department and
city code enforcement officers.
Violations cited include
faulty electrical wiring, poor
plumbing, and a limited number of fire escapes. The major
problem the fraternities are
faced with however, is occupancy. The capacity of some of
the houses exceeds the legal
limit. This necessitates either
a new house or the forcing of
certain brothers to find other
living quarters.
The fraternities in the most
difficulty are TKE, Lambda
"••'••
.".••- " .
KDR and Sigma Pi have
completed most of the work
and will most likely keep their
present houses. Acacia was
forced to give up their house
last spring due to a similar
situation.
Mark Bridgens, president
of the Inter-Fraternity Council,
discussed several possibilities,
including a huge complex
which would house all of the
fraternities and sororities.
Costs could be kept to a
minimum by hiring one central
contractor and sharing road
and landscaping fees.
The major hindrance to this
proposal is the availability of
land. Bridgens said they want
to keep within a close proximity of the college and at the
sai.mt time be in compliance
with the city zoning laws which
prohibit the fraternities and
sororities to occupy certain
areas.
Another possible solution
to the housing problem is the
school owned land located past
the Glennon infirmary. Other
schools were contacted to
determine if this was feasible,
however it was found that at
the present time there are no
fraternities with on-campus
housing in any of the state
owned schools.
While at the same time
they are considering the fraternity-sorority complex and
the college owned land ideas,
the fraternities are also looking for houses which are for

RECORD REVIEW
"Nieht at the Opera" - Queen
, , ..„
^ .u
This is Queen's fourth album, which is quite alot different than
their first, but the many changes and surprises wdl come as no
surprise if you enjoyed "Queen D" and "Sheer Heart Attack
This LP should have been released much eariier (about six
months eariier). The reason for the delay was the fact that Brian
May(guitarist for Queen) had thoughts of joining Sparks. (I wonder
how that would have turned out?) But everything s been long
patched up between band members.
The first song of the album is "Death on Two Legs which is an
averageQueen song, but, it's a good starter though. Some excellent
vocalsrcontained in this song. The second song is "Lazing on a
Sunday Afternoon," which sounds like a 1920's vaudeville song,
sort of makes you want to do the charieston. Avodeodo. Queen's
been throwing that kind of music in their LP's lately. It's hard to tell
if it's filler or if it's fntiirp tniisir
find
'*»+'« iiist hnnp it's fillpi-
Those songs seem to break up the consistency of the album.
The next two songs are along the lines of the first song. The song
"39" sounds like a Leo Kottke special. The guitar work here is
pleasantly mild. The lyrics led by Freddie Mercury, harmonize right
along with the guitar. I bet you find yourself singing to this one.
"Sweet Lady" is the best song on the LP. It probably is the
hardest song also, but not as hard as their first. The last song on the
first side is another 1920's tune.
The second side starts off with "The Prophets Song." It sounds
like a few Queen songs rehashed over. In this song the whole band
sings without any instruments included for three minutes.
The next song, "Love of Life" is another mellow song twined
with piano and some harp. As a whole the songs on the second side
sound alot alike with the exception of "Good Company," which is
your (you guessed it), another 1920 disk.(Too bad, uh)
This album is the end of a phase for Queen but the start of a new
one. Their hard rock style is gradually diminishing with every new
LP forwarded. The new phase is the more mellower sound with hard
rock being used in bits.
I rate it a B minus.

involved.
An election will be held
on Jan. 30 to find Ms. Smale's
replacement. Normally, the
incumbent vice president
would step up to president in
this case, but she has also
resigned. Melinda's resignation was held off for 2Vi weeks
to give time for an election.
Petitions for both president
and vice president, which are
due on Jan. 23, can be picked
up in Room 219, McEntire
Hall. Ms. Smale's successor
must plan programs for this
semester and make a new
budget to present to the SCC.
Melinda will work along
the sidelines helping the RHA.
She is currentiy involved with
the Human Sexuality Series by
finding speakers and planning
3 programs. She will also help
with publicity for RHA sponsored activities.
What did Melinda feel
she accomplished? "Personally, I got involved and met
others. I'm not an apathetic
person." As far as activities
go, Ms. Smale has started the
Coffeehouse program, which
is held once a month. On

Dr. Gerald Robinson, academic vice president, told the
board that the currently registered number of students,
approximately 2,236 was

for the spring semester, although not everyone had completed registration procedures. He also noted that the
number of students accepting
enrollment at the college for
the fall semester WRC oiirrpntiy
running 14 percent below last
year's level, which is generally
true across the state.
Dr. Robinson suggested as
the reason, according to interviews he has conducted, that
many families who had planned to cannot afford to send
their children to college at the
present time because of the
poor economic situation in the
country.
In a special report to the
board, Dr. Hugh Williamson,
dean of arts and science,
pointed out that 46 percent of
the students now being admitted to the college are enrolling
in arts and science programs.
In September 1975, a total of
270 new freshmen and 45
transfer students enrolled in
arts and science, and the
school currently has a total

RECORD REVIEW
"Nieht at the Opera" - Queen
, , ..„
^ .u
This is Queen's fourth album, which is quite alot different than
their first, but the many changes and surprises wdl come as no
surprise if you enjoyed "Queen D" and "Sheer Heart Attack
This LP should have been released much eariier (about six
months eariier). The reason for the delay was the fact that Brian
May(guitarist for Queen) had thoughts of joining Sparks. (I wonder
how that would have turned out?) But everything s been long
patched up between band members.
The first song of the album is "Death on Two Legs which is an
averageQueen song, but, it's a good starter though. Some excellent
vocalsrcontained in this song. The second song is "Lazing on a
Sunday Afternoon," which sounds like a 1920's vaudeville song,
sort of makes you want to do the charieston. Avodeodo. Queen's
been throwing that kind of music in their LP's lately. It's hard to tell
if it's filler or if it's fntiirp tniisir
find
'*»+'« iiist hnnp it's fillpi-
Those songs seem to break up the consistency of the album.
The next two songs are along the lines of the first song. The song
"39" sounds like a Leo Kottke special. The guitar work here is
pleasantly mild. The lyrics led by Freddie Mercury, harmonize right
along with the guitar. I bet you find yourself singing to this one.
"Sweet Lady" is the best song on the LP. It probably is the
hardest song also, but not as hard as their first. The last song on the
first side is another 1920's tune.
The second side starts off with "The Prophets Song." It sounds
like a few Queen songs rehashed over. In this song the whole band
sings without any instruments included for three minutes.
The next song, "Love of Life" is another mellow song twined
with piano and some harp. As a whole the songs on the second side
sound alot alike with the exception of "Good Company," which is
your (you guessed it), another 1920 disk.(Too bad, uh)
This album is the end of a phase for Queen but the start of a new
one. Their hard rock style is gradually diminishing with every new
LP forwarded. The new phase is the more mellower sound with hard
rock being used in bits.
I rate it a B minus.

An election will be held
on Jan. 30 to find Ms. Smale's
replacement. Normally, the
incumbent vice president
would step up to president in
this case, but she has also
resigned. Melinda's resignation was held off for 2Vi weeks
to give time for an election.
Petitions for both president
and vice president, which are
due on Jan. 23, can be picked
up in Room 219, McEntire
Hall. Ms. Smale's successor
must plan programs for this
semester and make a new
budget to present to the SCC.
Melinda will work along
the sidelines helping the RHA.
She is currentiy involved with
the Human Sexuality Series by
finding speakers and planning
3 programs. She will also help
with publicity for RHA sponsored activities.
What did Melinda feel
she accomplished? "Personally, I got involved and met
others. I'm not an apathetic
person." As far as activities
go, Ms. Smale has started the

is held once a month. On

Dr. Gerald Robinson, academic vice president, told the
board that the currently registered number of students,
approximately 2,236 was
slightly less than anticipated
for the spring semester, although not everyone had completed registration procedures. He also noted that the
number of students accepting
enrollment at the college for
the fall semester WRC oiirrpntiy
running 14 percent below last
year's level, which is generally
true across the state.
Dr. Robinson suggested as
the reason, according to interviews he has conducted, that
many families who had planned to cannot afford to send
their children to college at the
present time because of the
poor economic situation in the
country.
In a special report to the
board, Dr. Hugh Williamson,
dean of arts and science,
pointed out that 46 percent of
the students now being admitted to the college are enrolling
in arts and science programs.
In September 1975, a total of
270 new freshmen and 45
transfer students enrolled in
arts and science, and the
school currently has a total
enrollment of 919 studenti;.
Dr. Williamson explained
to the board the new General
Studies program which is
being proposed. This program
will allow highly qualified
students to design an academic program to meet their
own particular requirements in
cases where the college does
not have an established program in the field the student
desires. Each student in the
