Re-election Met
With Protest
Take HeartIfs Valertttne's Dan T
by J I M RUNKLE
The SCC president Joe
Harper's
announcement
that a new off-campus
senate election would be
held* next Wednesday,
brought cries of outrage
from various members of
the student populace last
Friday.
In an impromptu meeting
among Executive Committee members, a disgruntled
senate candidate, concerned students^and members
of the press, it was decided
that the implementation of
the election without the 2week waiting period called
for in the SCC constitution
would result in another invalid off-campus race.
The Executive Committee had set the date for
tomorrow, reasoning that
since the whole election
was not invalid, the
off-campus portion of it was
not a new election;
consequently, it did not
necessitate the waiting
period required for new
elections.
Another factor in the dispute, was the desire of the
Executive Committee to fill
the much needed seats of
the Senate membership.
When a protest of these
actions was made evident
to the Executive Committee
they quickly gave in to
demands for a more rigid
interpretation of the constitution. General members of
the Executive branch of the
student government expressed the desire to have a
fully staffed senate, as the
major impetus of their illfated decision for a Wednesday election.
As it stands now, there is
a lack of representation for
off-campus students, and a
new off-campus election set
for February 24, 1978. Six
positions are open and
candidates must submit
their petitions by February
21. Petitions already submitted are still valid.
Ballots will be taken in
the PUB and in Bentley
from 11:00am to 1:30 pm
and from 4:30pm to
6:00pm.
The off-campus positions
are the most hotly contested of all the Senate
elections. It is one of the
few campus elections in
which there are more
candidates than there are
positions. Almost half of
the votes cast in the race
last Wednesday were offcampus votes.
Another decision facing
students is the Feb. 15
ballot for a SCC Constitutional Amendment Revision, ff carried, the revision
would change the required
attendance at an SCC
meeting in order to
continue the order of business, from Va majority to Vi
majority.
The irony ofthe situation
is that the ballot that will
alleviate the senate's attendance problems (the
quorum revision) is likely to
be made unnecessary by
the filling of off-campus
senate seats two weeks
hence.
A rather irate Robin Dick
was heard to say of the
situation and events leading up to it, "Students at
this college should be more
interested in doing, instead
of telling."

Saint Valentine's Day,
named after a Roman priest
who was martyred on Feb.
14, is the traditional day of
lovers. The idea of sending
amorous messages on Valentine's Day is said to have
originated ftom a pagan
ritual celebrating the goddess Juno, wife of Zeus.
To area store owners,
Valentine's Day means an
increase in sales of card*,
candy and flowers, traditional Valentine's Day
gifts. One area flower shop
owner remarked that he
can't get enough flowers to
fill his orders. A downtown
jeweler reported that jewelry sales have also picked
up for Valentine's Day after
the January lull.
Straying from the traditional idea of men giving
flowers to women, a Lock
Haven State co-ed said she
planned to give her boyfriend flowers on Feb. 14.
When asked how he would
feel about getting flowers,
one LHS student said, "I
wouldn't be embarrassed to
get flowers from a girl. I'm
not afraid to like pretty
things."
He
added,
though, "I just hope they
wouldn't leave them on the
desk in my dorin's lobby."
A LHS woman, apparently disenchanted with
love, said, "Valentine's
Day is stupid. It's so fake I
can't believe it." A friend
with her defended the
observance saying she
thinks it's nice that a day is
set aside for the expression
of love.
To some people, Valentine's Day is connected
with the belief that it is the
day which birds start to
mate. To others St.
Valentine's Day takes on a
more personal touch, a day
in which people can express
their love freely and hope
for the return of love and
kindness.
Early Summer School Pre-registration Encouraged
by GWENA SWEENEY
Pre-registration cards for
the 1978 summer school
sessions are now being
issued at the Office of
Academic Affairs in Sullivan Hall.
Interested students are
encouraged to check with
their advisors
and preregister before April 1.
According to Dean Smalley,
this'is necessary to assure
students now attending
LHS priority over other
registrants that will be enrolling in the summer
sessions.
Smalley pointed out that
the summer sessions provide students with the opportunity to possibly improve their cummulative
average as well as enabling
many students to graduate
early.
Students may take six
semester hours in each of
the sessions (seven hours
with a P.E. activity).
Seperate registration/class
schedule cards must be
completed for each of the
two sessions.
Because this is only a
pre-registration
students
will be required to report to
the Field House on registratiop day to complete the
procedure.
The cost for the summer
school sessions is as follows: $39.00 per credit l..Mt
for instate students;$71.00
per credit hour for out ofstate students; $29.00 per
week for room and board;
and $14.00 per week for
board alone. Students will
also be required to pay a
SIO.OO activity fee and a
i»2.00community center fee.

Academic Affairs.
*Bare Bones Budget* May Cause Tuition Increase
The 1978-79 financial
picture for Pennsylvania's
State Colleges and University (PSCU) will be a bleak
one, announced Kathleen
M. Downey, Executive
Director of the Commonwealth Association of Students (CAS).
This announcement came
after Governor Milton J.
Shapp's budget address in
which he proposed " BARE
BONES BUDGET."
"That description is
quite accurate to say the
least," said Downey. "The
Governor did not request
an increase for any institutions of higher education.
This includes us (the PSCU
system)."
"Right now I would have
to say that a tuition
increase will be inevitable," she stated. Explaining this, Downey said that
Dr. Edward C. McGuire,
Commissionor of Higher
Education, last week stated
that the State Board of
Education was asking for a
six percent increase for
higher education so that
tuition would not increase.
According to Downey,
"This six percent calculation was not for inflation, it
was just to keep us going
without further increase."
"However, "she continued, "with the proposed
budget as 'bare' as it is, a
tuition increase could become a reality."
CAS Acting Associate
Director David Bashore
said he also sees another
problem for PSCU students
with the new budget proposal.
"Besides not getting an
increase in the $172.2
million we received last
• year," he said, "there is
also no increase cited for
Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency
(PHEAA) grants."
Bashore pointed out that,
to the best of his knowledge, appropriations for
PHEAA grants have not
changed in the past four
years.
"Therefore," he added,
"students cannot depend
upon PHEAA grants to
defray the rising costs of
education at the state
colleges and university."
"And," Downey stated,
"we cannot tolerate another tuition increase. The
students have accepted two
this year and should not be
forced to deal with another."
Appropriation hearings
for the state colleges and
university are set for March
6 and Downey emphasized
the need for student input.
"The student presence,"
she said, "and tiie attitude
that we care is valuable."

EAGLE EYE
ninc niGHT
l U O D I L attttH
A "technically incorrect" voting ballot invalidating Wednesday's off-Campus elections serves to
illustrate that democracy needs to be maintained
through the constant vigilance of its constituents.
if not for the concern shown by a few students,
the over zealousness of the executive board would
have taken its toll on the LHS SCC democratic
process.
The student government's first mistake was
the placing of write-in candidates on the voting
ballot, an inadvertent error on their part. The second error was in allowing the need for a full senate
to dim their eyes to the two week waiting period for
new elections outlined in the SCC Constitution.
Their final mistake was in assuming that students would not question such actions. After all, to
allow even one doubt about an election to be main. tained, is to cast doubt about the whole democratic
process that is involved.
COMMENTARY
Sometimes I feel that editorials, like letters, should not be
libelous. Herewith are answers to a few of those "glaring
errors" I made in my first "Coping" article.
As for Mr. Runkle's statement: "I think the following
articles were at least worth reading by the student member
of the Board of Trustees: the opening of SCC senate positions, the lack of senate members
and the Board of
Trustees itself. Practically everything a student trustee
needs to know in order to function effectively on campus"; if
his paper was present at any of these functions, they would
have seen me there. Therefore I would not have to read the
Eagle Eye to become knowledgeable. If a student is
apathetic towards issues as big as the ones mentioned, he is
probably not going to read the Eagle Eye.
As for mentioning the Board in the lavish list of Eagle Eye
articles, Tina Brooks did the reporting for the paper while on
the payroll of WBPZ as an intern. At the first meeting of the
semester, not a single word was printed about it. Tina
Brooks was present, but now she had graduated, and rather
than inconveniencing an Eagle Eye reporter by asking him
to attend, the paper went unrepresented.
Lastly, Mr. Runkle made the statement, "1 have never
received ANY communication with Mr. Briel", but in the
same sentence contradicts himself by saying, "save a short
conversation and a letter dealing with becoming a staff
member." Next time, in order to be sure Mr. Runkle
receives my communications, 1 may try sky-writing, "I
WANT TO WRITE FOR THE EAGLE EYE."

"Scribble—to write hastily or carelessly
without regard to legibility or t h o u g h t . " So, is this
how Webster would also define the Eagle Eye?
As far as I can see the print of the paper is relatively clear. There may be a misspelled word or an
omission here and there, but then again sometime
sit down and carefully read The New York Times.
So at least this tells us that our paper is put together with regard to legibility.
Now as to this publication of ours being put together with no regard to thought. Let us see. It
seems that the last two (2) issues of the Eagle Eye
has had some quite informative and provoking articles. Though I believe Jim Runkle made this known
in last Tuesday's (Feb. 7, 1978) editorial.
Beside the headline articles what about the
regular features of the paper? " C o p i n g " has been
used by various people to express their ideas, from
calling the student body an aimlessly wandering
flock of sheep, to critisism of the administration and
other school functions. Letters to the editor have
been utilized by disillusioned freshmen, pissed-off
Dean's list students and others. "Opening N i g h t "
informs us of things from band performances to
time for auditions for student plays. A n d where can
you f i n d not only the listings for movies not only on
campus and in town but for State College and
Williamsport? Plus, what is available as far as
sales, want-ads, or employment opportunities.
To me this adds up to a well-informed and
thought-out paper. If not satisfied, complaints will
either be corrected or explained by the staff. So,
just keep on scribbling Eagle Eye and thanks for
the free Whopper Sunday night!
Letter to the Editor:
It was with both interest
and disgust that I read the
commentary in the Feb. 10
Eagle Eye concerning
alleged lack of hall coverage by a hall manager because she was caring for a
certain Dean's dog (1 believe this Dean has the initials E.N.). If this is true,
and I haven't heard a denial
yet, some things must be
considered in this case. If
the hall manager was being
paid while away caring for
the dog, then we have a
case of a state employee
(the hall manager) being
used to provide personal
services for another state
employee (Dean E.N.) not
covered in any way by her
job description, while being
paid by the state. Isn't it
ironic that some very influential political figures, both
in Pennsylvania and previously in Washington, are
being tried and convicted
for doing the very same
thing, which is using state
(or federal) employees for
their own personal benefit
while that employee is being paid by his respective
goverment? I realize all the
facts are not available yet,
but if anything even
approaching this situation
is in fact true, then Dean
E.N., or someone, has a lot
of explaining to do. After
all, if important politicians
can be convicted for using
state employees to perform
personal services, such as
working on their homes and
yards while being paid by
the state, them what makes
Dean E.N. think she is
immune to any kind of
punishment?
Also, as a counselor in
High Hall, I know the other
counselors as well as
myself would be more than
glad to take over coverage
of the dorm if for some
reason our hall manager
was forced to leave the hall
for some time, and we have
previously done so several
times. But I know we would
refuse to do so if our hall
manager was forced away
for a reason as frivolous as
caring for someone's dog.
Counselor's should not be
forced to perform as hall
managers, nor do they have
to, and especially for such a
ridiculous situation as
occured above.
I think this situation
could and should be delved
into in greater detail. With
all the talk about inefficiency in government and waste
in spending, we have
situations like these, where
our tax money is being paid
to a hall manager to watch a
Dean's dog. To me, that
sounds totally ridiculous,
and unacceptable.

^ Film Review ^
^
For those who enjoy a movie that does more than merely entertain, the Humanities Film presentation of "The
Pawnbroker" is a must. Rod Steiger, portraying the pawnbroker Sol Nazerman, gives a performance that can not help
but leave the audience emotionally moved.
Nazerman the Jew runs his business mid the squalor
and violence of Spanish Harlem. Once a family man and
teacher, this European immigrant was just one of the innumerable victims of the Nazi takeover during the Second
World War. As a prisoner of a concentration camp he saw
his wife raped, his friend torn apart by dogs, and his son
trampled to death. Nazerman survived to become an
emotionless being whose faith rests only in money.
The movie is set in the present. Day to day events remind him of the pain and the torment of the camp. Flashbacks vividly parallel the violence and horrors of the past
and the ghettos of New York.
The climax releases him from the horrors that haunt
him and as one reviewer wrote, "His life is out of pawn".
The SCC movie "Soylent Green" is one of the better
futuristic films to come along. Molded on the traditional
science fiction storyline, it refuses to be quite as trite as the
norm. The script does hit upon a few innovations and the
acting is good. It's been awhile since 1 saw it so 1 won't go
into details (they would probably be more erroneous than
usual), but 1 did enjoy it.
The area theatres have a fairly diversified offering for
those who can afford more than the freebies. "Rocky Horror
Picture Show" is still going strong at Penn State. The
audience is getting stranger and more innovative (for the
better or worse). Check it out if you're interested in a "different" evening. "Close Encounters" and "The Good-Bye
Giri" will be around for a few more weeks no doubt. "The
Betsy" just started in Williamsport and they said they plan
to run it for a while. The Screening Room is continually
changing show. Too bad they don't change the plot once in a
while also. Check the "Arts Calendar" for complete
listings.

" Simanek Comments
• Your editorial in the Feb. 3 Eagle Eye offers
some superficial comments about class attendance
policy. Yoy provide no evidence for this " b i g p u s h "
toward an attendance policy, then proceed to invent
a motivation for it. The editorial might have been
more useful if you had addressed the real reasons
why some faculty members are concerned about
attendance, and why this problem is important to
the academic quality of this institution. I shall
comment on some points you missed, from the
point of view of one faculty member.
I fully agree that "grades for attendance" is an
undesiraible policy. Also, I recognize that poor
teaching does exist. But students are not always the
best judges of the quality of teaching. Students can
of course express their contempt for a course or for
the professor by lack of attendance. But this is a
poor means for improving the quality of instruction.
Such a c t i o n is easily m i s t a k e n for mere
indifference, laziness, lack of genuine desire for
education, etc., all of which, we must admit, are
common reasons for irregular attendance.
A student who seriously desires to improve
instruction would be better advised to communicate
his specific concerns directly to the professor. In
doing this, he can demonstrate that he has seriously analyzed the situation, has clearly identified the
shortcomings of the course and professor, and has
not confused them with hid own inadequacies. He
can also show evidence that he has made a genuine
effort to master the material, and that he has the
necessary background for the course. Such a discussion can be helpful to a professor, and will
usually be received in a cooperative spirit. But
mere " g r i p e s " form a student who has put out no
effort, and has no apparent desire to learn, are
rightly dismissed as irelevant.
I once overheard some students discussing
their plans for going home over Thanksgiving vacation. One said, " M y ride leaves a day early; the
profs don't really expect us to be here on the last
day before vacation. No point in coming back the
first day after vacation; there won't be enough
people for a class that day anyway.and I have only
one class the second day, so why bother to come
that day?'too many students accept such attendance patterns as the norm, and some faculty
members acqiesce without protest.
There are worthwhile courses whose objective
is not merely to entertain, and which are not intrinsically " e x c i t i n g . " The course material may be
highly structured and sequential, each part building upon previous parts. Spotty attendance in such
a course may make it impossible for the student to
comprehend the material or achieve the course
objectives. Irregular attendance defeats the
instructor's best efforts to carefully plan and struc-
ture the material as an integrated whole. The student's situation becomes hopeless; he is lost and
confused because of his poor attendance. He may
then blame the course or the instructor. Such a student hasn't given the course a fair chance, by
putting out sustained and serious effort from the
very beginning. He never reaches the point where
things start to " f a l l into place" so he can see the
relevance, importance, and even the beauty of the
subject.
David Klein, sociologist, and an excellent
teacher, recently said, " A s k i n g students to rate
their instructor during the course may be like
asking a patient to rate his dentist while his tooth is
being filled. . . Maybe a student rating five years
after graduation would be more reliable, but by
then it might be too late to be useful. . . I would
argue that surviving a course with a really lousy
professor is an experience that can prove very
useful in later l i f e - in your job, in your social relationships, and even in your family l i f e . " A recent
study by Bodin and Bodin indicated that the higher
a students rates an instructor, the less that student
is likely to learn from h i m !
The student who can do well in a poor course is
clearly demonstrating that the fault Is not his o w n ! I
once took a graduate course in which the professor's lectures were, I thought, dull and of no use to
me. I told him that, early in the course. Yet, by very
hard work, I achieved two semesters of " A " from
this professor, in a situation with very competitive
students.
Mandatory attendance polocies won't solve the
problem. They would merely be a Band-Aid to hide
the real problems. One fundamental problem is the
fact that we have too many students with no real
desire to learn, especially if that requires them to
do hard intellectual work and ot demonstrate real
understanding. There is nothing more crushing to a
professor than the students who sit back and
smugly say, " M o t i v a t e me, I dare y o u ! "
When an instructor must cop)e with a class
made up largely of students aggressively indifferent to learning, he is understandably discouraged,
and this may show in his teaching. Students could
help remedy this situation. If only a few students
would demonstrate a genuine desire for learning, a
willingness to become seriously involved intellectually and actively seek excellence; this could have a
very uplifting effect on faculty morale. I am sure
most of us faculty members would respond to such
students with delight, and really knock ourselves
out to help them in every appropriate way. Come
on, students, motivate us; I dare you!

CAS Executive Director Becomes PHEAA Member
Kathleen M. Downey,
Executive Director of the
Commonwealth Association
of Students (CAS), has
become a member of the
State Grant Advisory Committee of the Pennsylvania
Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA).
The invitation to join the
committee came last week
from PHEAA Director
Kenneth R. Reeher. This
committee, which has been
in existence for the State
Grant Program to the
PHEAA Board of Directors.
The Advisory Committee, according to Reeher,
consists of individuals
involved in various levels of
postsecondary education
throughout the Commonwealth.
Downey was asked to become a member because of
CAS' "interest in the State
Grant Program," added
Reeher.
Downey explained that
she is pleased with the
invitation because Reeher
"took the initiative to ask
CAS to get involved."
"All PHEAA boards are
high-powered," Downey
continued, "and I think it
speaks highly for CAS that
we were approached to
serve on the Advisory
Committee."

a 17-10 decision over
Edinboro's Dominic Todaro
in the finals. Koontz scored
a surprise 2nd period fall
over Slippery Rock's Chuck
Tursky to cop the heavyw e i g h t championship.
Moore has now increased
his season record to a
tremendous 27-1. Actually
Moore's 12-2 semi-final win
over Slippery Rock's Jeff
Condon was especially
crucial, since Condon, also
a senior, was a three time
PSCAC place winner.
Koontz (22-5) was also
hard pressed in the semifinals, when the 275 pound
giant had to come from
behind to beat Shippens-
burg's Ken Schaeffer, 10-9.
Other place winners for
the Haven were Doug
Gallaher, 150, for 4th; Gary
Uram, 118, and Mike
Nauman, 158, for 5th; Sean
Ahern, 126, who placed
6th. Dave Moyer, 134,
Austin Shanfelter, 167, Joe
Speese, 177, and Tim
Thompson, 190, failed to
place, although Shanfelter
won one match. Speese lost
a controversial referee's
decision to Mike Conner,
Millersville, in the guarterfinals.
Over 2,000 spectators
watched the 12 team battle
narrow to just four teams
prior to Saturday night's
finals. Copping the team
title was pre-tournament
favorite Clarion State with
105.75 points, followed by
Slippery
Rock,
83.5.
Bloomsburg picked up third
place while Lock Haven
came in with a fourth place
finish at 73.75 points.
West Chester did not
compete in the championships this year. Actually,
the Bald Eagles jumped out
to an early tournament lead
on Friday afternoon and
hung, on until the final
consolation matches, when
the Bald Eagles could win
only two out of their six
consolation matches. This
cost the Bald Eagles the
PSCAC title. Winning their
consolation matches were
sophomore Mike Nauman
158, and senior Gary Uram,
118, who placed in the
PSCAC for the second
straight year by beating
Mike Nock of Bloomsburg,
11-6. Uram placed 5th.
Doug Gallaher, a freshman
wrestler, won three straight
including a fall over
number two seeded John
McGoud,
Mansfield,
before losing to eventual
champion Tony Caravella,
Bloomsburg, in the semifinals.
According to veteran mat
mentor Dr. Ken Cox, he
was especially pleased with
Moore and Koontz's performance, but believed the
entire team wrestled very
competitively. Koontz became LHS' 109th PSCAC
champ since the inaugural
tournament 35 years ago.
LHS has double the number
of conference champs than
any other conference
school.
Lock Haven State Basketball Team Downed by Clarion

Lock Haven State College

by KAREN GABA
The Lock Haven Women's basketball team
traveled to Edinboro State
College to play a "tough"
team, as Coach Kyle
Cornelius noted. The
Eaglettes got off to a very
slow start in the first half,
but in any event did not
give up. They entered the
second half with the score
tallied at 24-47, Edinboro's
favor.
Coach Cornelius remarked, "Edinboro gained too
much of a lead for Lock
Haven to gain control."
This was not too much of a
disadvantage for the Haven
however, as the women put
it all together in the second
half to outscore the
opposition 42-37.
Due to the fact that
Edinboro had four women
over 6 ft. tall, they had an
advantage as they went on
to win the game 84-66.
Despite the score, the
Haven's high scorer Cathy
Landis tossed up 18 points
while her team mates
Sandy Kotecky added 10,
Mary Fleig contributed 7,
Lisa Hand 6, and Diane
Telemko, Michelle Gilgallon and Jan Lens all
chipped in with 5 points.

Re-election Met
With Protest
Take HeartIfs Valertttne's Dan T
by J I M RUNKLE
The SCC president Joe
Harper's
announcement
that a new off-campus
senate election would be
held* next Wednesday,
brought cries of outrage
from various members of
the student populace last
Friday.
In an impromptu meeting
among Executive Committee members, a disgruntled
senate candidate, concerned students^and members
of the press, it was decided
that the implementation of
the election without the 2week waiting period called
for in the SCC constitution
would result in another invalid off-campus race.
The Executive Committee had set the date for
tomorrow, reasoning that
since the whole election
was not invalid, the
off-campus portion of it was
not a new election;
consequently, it did not
necessitate the waiting
period required for new
elections.
Another factor in the dispute, was the desire of the
Executive Committee to fill
the much needed seats of
the Senate membership.
When a protest of these
actions was made evident
to the Executive Committee
they quickly gave in to
demands for a more rigid
interpretation of the constitution. General members of
the Executive branch of the
student government expressed the desire to have a
fully staffed senate, as the
major impetus of their illfated decision for a Wednesday election.
As it stands now, there is
a lack of representation for
off-campus students, and a
new off-campus election set
for February 24, 1978. Six
positions are open and
candidates must submit
their petitions by February
21. Petitions already submitted are still valid.
Ballots will be taken in
the PUB and in Bentley
from 11:00am to 1:30 pm
and from 4:30pm to
6:00pm.
The off-campus positions
are the most hotly contested of all the Senate
elections. It is one of the
few campus elections in
which there are more
candidates than there are
positions. Almost half of
the votes cast in the race
last Wednesday were offcampus votes.
Another decision facing
students is the Feb. 15
ballot for a SCC Constitutional Amendment Revision, ff carried, the revision
would change the required
attendance at an SCC
meeting in order to
continue the order of business, from Va majority to Vi
majority.
The irony ofthe situation
is that the ballot that will
alleviate the senate's attendance problems (the
quorum revision) is likely to
be made unnecessary by
the filling of off-campus
senate seats two weeks
hence.
A rather irate Robin Dick
was heard to say of the
situation and events leading up to it, "Students at
this college should be more
interested in doing, instead
of telling."

Saint Valentine's Day,
named after a Roman priest
who was martyred on Feb.
14, is the traditional day of
lovers. The idea of sending
amorous messages on Valentine's Day is said to have
originated ftom a pagan
ritual celebrating the goddess Juno, wife of Zeus.
To area store owners,
Valentine's Day means an
increase in sales of card*,
candy and flowers, traditional Valentine's Day
gifts. One area flower shop
owner remarked that he
can't get enough flowers to
fill his orders. A downtown
jeweler reported that jewelry sales have also picked
up for Valentine's Day after
the January lull.
Straying from the traditional idea of men giving
flowers to women, a Lock
Haven State co-ed said she
planned to give her boyfriend flowers on Feb. 14.
When asked how he would
feel about getting flowers,
one LHS student said, "I
wouldn't be embarrassed to
get flowers from a girl. I'm
not afraid to like pretty
things."
He
added,
though, "I just hope they
wouldn't leave them on the
desk in my dorin's lobby."
A LHS woman, apparently disenchanted with
love, said, "Valentine's
Day is stupid. It's so fake I
can't believe it." A friend
with her defended the
observance saying she
thinks it's nice that a day is
set aside for the expression
of love.
To some people, Valentine's Day is connected
with the belief that it is the
day which birds start to
mate. To others St.
Valentine's Day takes on a
more personal touch, a day
in which people can express
their love freely and hope
for the return of love and
kindness.
Early Summer School Pre-registration Encouraged
by GWENA SWEENEY
Pre-registration cards for
the 1978 summer school
sessions are now being
issued at the Office of
Academic Affairs in Sullivan Hall.
Interested students are
encouraged to check with
their advisors
and preregister before April 1.
According to Dean Smalley,
this'is necessary to assure
students now attending
LHS priority over other
registrants that will be enrolling in the summer
sessions.
Smalley pointed out that
the summer sessions provide students with the opportunity to possibly improve their cummulative
average as well as enabling
many students to graduate
early.
Students may take six
semester hours in each of
the sessions (seven hours
with a P.E. activity).
Seperate registration/class
schedule cards must be
completed for each of the
two sessions.
Because this is only a
pre-registration
students
will be required to report to
the Field House on registratiop day to complete the
procedure.
The cost for the summer
school sessions is as follows: $39.00 per credit l..Mt
for instate students;$71.00
per credit hour for out ofstate students; $29.00 per
week for room and board;
and $14.00 per week for
board alone. Students will
also be required to pay a
SIO.OO activity fee and a
i»2.00community center fee.

*Bare Bones Budget* May Cause Tuition Increase
The 1978-79 financial
picture for Pennsylvania's
State Colleges and University (PSCU) will be a bleak
one, announced Kathleen
M. Downey, Executive
Director of the Commonwealth Association of Students (CAS).
This announcement came
after Governor Milton J.
Shapp's budget address in
which he proposed " BARE
BONES BUDGET."
"That description is
quite accurate to say the
least," said Downey. "The
Governor did not request
an increase for any institutions of higher education.
This includes us (the PSCU
system)."
"Right now I would have
to say that a tuition
increase will be inevitable," she stated. Explaining this, Downey said that
Dr. Edward C. McGuire,
Commissionor of Higher
Education, last week stated
that the State Board of
Education was asking for a
six percent increase for
higher education so that
tuition would not increase.
According to Downey,
"This six percent calculation was not for inflation, it
was just to keep us going
without further increase."
"However, "she continued, "with the proposed
budget as 'bare' as it is, a
tuition increase could become a reality."
CAS Acting Associate
Director David Bashore
said he also sees another
problem for PSCU students
with the new budget proposal.
"Besides not getting an
increase in the $172.2
million we received last
• year," he said, "there is
also no increase cited for
Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency
(PHEAA) grants."
Bashore pointed out that,
to the best of his knowledge, appropriations for
PHEAA grants have not
changed in the past four
years.
"Therefore," he added,
"students cannot depend
upon PHEAA grants to
defray the rising costs of
education at the state
colleges and university."
"And," Downey stated,
"we cannot tolerate another tuition increase. The
students have accepted two
this year and should not be
forced to deal with another."
Appropriation hearings
for the state colleges and
university are set for March
6 and Downey emphasized
the need for student input.
"The student presence,"
she said, "and tiie attitude
that we care is valuable."

EAGLE EYE
ninc niGHT
l U O D I L attttH
A "technically incorrect" voting ballot invalidating Wednesday's off-Campus elections serves to
illustrate that democracy needs to be maintained
through the constant vigilance of its constituents.
if not for the concern shown by a few students,
the over zealousness of the executive board would
have taken its toll on the LHS SCC democratic
process.
The student government's first mistake was
the placing of write-in candidates on the voting
ballot, an inadvertent error on their part. The second error was in allowing the need for a full senate
to dim their eyes to the two week waiting period for
new elections outlined in the SCC Constitution.
Their final mistake was in assuming that students would not question such actions. After all, to
allow even one doubt about an election to be main. tained, is to cast doubt about the whole democratic
process that is involved.
COMMENTARY
Sometimes I feel that editorials, like letters, should not be
libelous. Herewith are answers to a few of those "glaring
errors" I made in my first "Coping" article.
As for Mr. Runkle's statement: "I think the following
articles were at least worth reading by the student member
of the Board of Trustees: the opening of SCC senate positions, the lack of senate members
and the Board of
Trustees itself. Practically everything a student trustee
needs to know in order to function effectively on campus"; if
his paper was present at any of these functions, they would
have seen me there. Therefore I would not have to read the
Eagle Eye to become knowledgeable. If a student is
apathetic towards issues as big as the ones mentioned, he is
probably not going to read the Eagle Eye.
As for mentioning the Board in the lavish list of Eagle Eye
articles, Tina Brooks did the reporting for the paper while on
the payroll of WBPZ as an intern. At the first meeting of the
semester, not a single word was printed about it. Tina
Brooks was present, but now she had graduated, and rather
than inconveniencing an Eagle Eye reporter by asking him
to attend, the paper went unrepresented.
Lastly, Mr. Runkle made the statement, "1 have never
received ANY communication with Mr. Briel", but in the
same sentence contradicts himself by saying, "save a short
conversation and a letter dealing with becoming a staff
member." Next time, in order to be sure Mr. Runkle
receives my communications, 1 may try sky-writing, "I
WANT TO WRITE FOR THE EAGLE EYE."

"Scribble—to write hastily or carelessly
without regard to legibility or t h o u g h t . " So, is this
how Webster would also define the Eagle Eye?
As far as I can see the print of the paper is relatively clear. There may be a misspelled word or an
omission here and there, but then again sometime
sit down and carefully read The New York Times.
So at least this tells us that our paper is put together with regard to legibility.
Now as to this publication of ours being put together with no regard to thought. Let us see. It
seems that the last two (2) issues of the Eagle Eye
has had some quite informative and provoking articles. Though I believe Jim Runkle made this known
in last Tuesday's (Feb. 7, 1978) editorial.
Beside the headline articles what about the
regular features of the paper? " C o p i n g " has been
used by various people to express their ideas, from
calling the student body an aimlessly wandering
flock of sheep, to critisism of the administration and
other school functions. Letters to the editor have
been utilized by disillusioned freshmen, pissed-off
Dean's list students and others. "Opening N i g h t "
informs us of things from band performances to
time for auditions for student plays. A n d where can
you f i n d not only the listings for movies not only on
campus and in town but for State College and
Williamsport? Plus, what is available as far as
sales, want-ads, or employment opportunities.
To me this adds up to a well-informed and
thought-out paper. If not satisfied, complaints will
either be corrected or explained by the staff. So,
just keep on scribbling Eagle Eye and thanks for
the free Whopper Sunday night!
Letter to the Editor:
It was with both interest
and disgust that I read the
commentary in the Feb. 10
Eagle Eye concerning
alleged lack of hall coverage by a hall manager because she was caring for a
certain Dean's dog (1 believe this Dean has the initials E.N.). If this is true,
and I haven't heard a denial
yet, some things must be
considered in this case. If
the hall manager was being
paid while away caring for
the dog, then we have a
case of a state employee
(the hall manager) being
used to provide personal
services for another state
employee (Dean E.N.) not
covered in any way by her
job description, while being
paid by the state. Isn't it
ironic that some very influential political figures, both
in Pennsylvania and previously in Washington, are
being tried and convicted
for doing the very same
thing, which is using state
(or federal) employees for
their own personal benefit
while that employee is being paid by his respective
goverment? I realize all the
facts are not available yet,
but if anything even
approaching this situation
is in fact true, then Dean
E.N., or someone, has a lot
of explaining to do. After
all, if important politicians
can be convicted for using
state employees to perform
personal services, such as
working on their homes and
yards while being paid by
the state, them what makes
Dean E.N. think she is
immune to any kind of
punishment?
Also, as a counselor in
High Hall, I know the other
counselors as well as
myself would be more than
glad to take over coverage
of the dorm if for some
reason our hall manager
was forced to leave the hall
for some time, and we have
previously done so several
times. But I know we would
refuse to do so if our hall
manager was forced away
for a reason as frivolous as
caring for someone's dog.
Counselor's should not be
forced to perform as hall
managers, nor do they have
to, and especially for such a
ridiculous situation as
occured above.
I think this situation
could and should be delved
into in greater detail. With
all the talk about inefficiency in government and waste
in spending, we have
situations like these, where
our tax money is being paid
to a hall manager to watch a
Dean's dog. To me, that
sounds totally ridiculous,
and unacceptable.

^ Film Review ^
^
For those who enjoy a movie that does more than merely entertain, the Humanities Film presentation of "The
Pawnbroker" is a must. Rod Steiger, portraying the pawnbroker Sol Nazerman, gives a performance that can not help
but leave the audience emotionally moved.
Nazerman the Jew runs his business mid the squalor
and violence of Spanish Harlem. Once a family man and
teacher, this European immigrant was just one of the innumerable victims of the Nazi takeover during the Second
World War. As a prisoner of a concentration camp he saw
his wife raped, his friend torn apart by dogs, and his son
trampled to death. Nazerman survived to become an
emotionless being whose faith rests only in money.
The movie is set in the present. Day to day events remind him of the pain and the torment of the camp. Flashbacks vividly parallel the violence and horrors of the past
and the ghettos of New York.
The climax releases him from the horrors that haunt
him and as one reviewer wrote, "His life is out of pawn".
The SCC movie "Soylent Green" is one of the better
futuristic films to come along. Molded on the traditional
science fiction storyline, it refuses to be quite as trite as the
norm. The script does hit upon a few innovations and the
acting is good. It's been awhile since 1 saw it so 1 won't go
into details (they would probably be more erroneous than
usual), but 1 did enjoy it.
The area theatres have a fairly diversified offering for
those who can afford more than the freebies. "Rocky Horror
Picture Show" is still going strong at Penn State. The
audience is getting stranger and more innovative (for the
better or worse). Check it out if you're interested in a "different" evening. "Close Encounters" and "The Good-Bye
Giri" will be around for a few more weeks no doubt. "The
Betsy" just started in Williamsport and they said they plan
to run it for a while. The Screening Room is continually
changing show. Too bad they don't change the plot once in a
while also. Check the "Arts Calendar" for complete
listings.

" Simanek Comments
• Your editorial in the Feb. 3 Eagle Eye offers
some superficial comments about class attendance
policy. Yoy provide no evidence for this " b i g p u s h "
toward an attendance policy, then proceed to invent
a motivation for it. The editorial might have been
more useful if you had addressed the real reasons
why some faculty members are concerned about
attendance, and why this problem is important to
the academic quality of this institution. I shall
comment on some points you missed, from the
point of view of one faculty member.
I fully agree that "grades for attendance" is an
undesiraible policy. Also, I recognize that poor
teaching does exist. But students are not always the
best judges of the quality of teaching. Students can
of course express their contempt for a course or for
the professor by lack of attendance. But this is a
poor means for improving the quality of instruction.
Such a c t i o n is easily m i s t a k e n for mere
indifference, laziness, lack of genuine desire for
education, etc., all of which, we must admit, are
common reasons for irregular attendance.
A student who seriously desires to improve
instruction would be better advised to communicate
his specific concerns directly to the professor. In
doing this, he can demonstrate that he has seriously analyzed the situation, has clearly identified the
shortcomings of the course and professor, and has
not confused them with hid own inadequacies. He
can also show evidence that he has made a genuine
effort to master the material, and that he has the
necessary background for the course. Such a discussion can be helpful to a professor, and will
usually be received in a cooperative spirit. But
mere " g r i p e s " form a student who has put out no
effort, and has no apparent desire to learn, are
rightly dismissed as irelevant.
I once overheard some students discussing
their plans for going home over Thanksgiving vacation. One said, " M y ride leaves a day early; the
profs don't really expect us to be here on the last
day before vacation. No point in coming back the
first day after vacation; there won't be enough
people for a class that day anyway.and I have only
one class the second day, so why bother to come
that day?'too many students accept such attendance patterns as the norm, and some faculty
members acqiesce without protest.
There are worthwhile courses whose objective
is not merely to entertain, and which are not intrinsically " e x c i t i n g . " The course material may be
highly structured and sequential, each part building upon previous parts. Spotty attendance in such
a course may make it impossible for the student to
comprehend the material or achieve the course
objectives. Irregular attendance defeats the
instructor's best efforts to carefully plan and struc-
ture the material as an integrated whole. The student's situation becomes hopeless; he is lost and
confused because of his poor attendance. He may
then blame the course or the instructor. Such a student hasn't given the course a fair chance, by
putting out sustained and serious effort from the
very beginning. He never reaches the point where
things start to " f a l l into place" so he can see the
relevance, importance, and even the beauty of the
subject.
David Klein, sociologist, and an excellent
teacher, recently said, " A s k i n g students to rate
their instructor during the course may be like
asking a patient to rate his dentist while his tooth is
being filled. . . Maybe a student rating five years
after graduation would be more reliable, but by
then it might be too late to be useful. . . I would
argue that surviving a course with a really lousy
professor is an experience that can prove very
useful in later l i f e - in your job, in your social relationships, and even in your family l i f e . " A recent
study by Bodin and Bodin indicated that the higher
a students rates an instructor, the less that student
is likely to learn from h i m !
The student who can do well in a poor course is
clearly demonstrating that the fault Is not his o w n ! I
once took a graduate course in which the professor's lectures were, I thought, dull and of no use to
me. I told him that, early in the course. Yet, by very
hard work, I achieved two semesters of " A " from
this professor, in a situation with very competitive
students.
Mandatory attendance polocies won't solve the
problem. They would merely be a Band-Aid to hide
the real problems. One fundamental problem is the
fact that we have too many students with no real
desire to learn, especially if that requires them to
do hard intellectual work and ot demonstrate real
understanding. There is nothing more crushing to a
professor than the students who sit back and
smugly say, " M o t i v a t e me, I dare y o u ! "
When an instructor must cop)e with a class
made up largely of students aggressively indifferent to learning, he is understandably discouraged,
and this may show in his teaching. Students could
help remedy this situation. If only a few students
would demonstrate a genuine desire for learning, a
willingness to become seriously involved intellectually and actively seek excellence; this could have a
very uplifting effect on faculty morale. I am sure
most of us faculty members would respond to such
students with delight, and really knock ourselves
out to help them in every appropriate way. Come
on, students, motivate us; I dare you!

by JERRY PETERMAN
I'wo Bald Eagle wrestlers
were crowned Pennsylvania
State College Athletic
C o n f e r e n c e (PSCAC)
champions this weekend at
Millersville State. Senior
Michael Moore brought
back to the Haven, his
second 142 pound title,
while team mate Gregg
Koontz Hwt.^won his first
PSCAC title
Moore was nothing short
of sensational, when he
won four straight including
a 17-10 decision over
Edinboro's Dominic Todaro
in the finals. Koontz scored
a surprise 2nd period fall
over Slippery Rock's Chuck
Tursky to cop the heavyw e i g h t championship.
Moore has now increased
his season record to a
tremendous 27-1. Actually
Moore's 12-2 semi-final win
over Slippery Rock's Jeff
Condon was especially
crucial, since Condon, also
a senior, was a three time
PSCAC place winner.
Koontz (22-5) was also
hard pressed in the semifinals, when the 275 pound
giant had to come from
behind to beat Shippens-
burg's Ken Schaeffer, 10-9.
Other place winners for
the Haven were Doug
Gallaher, 150, for 4th; Gary
Uram, 118, and Mike
Nauman, 158, for 5th; Sean
Ahern, 126, who placed
6th. Dave Moyer, 134,
Austin Shanfelter, 167, Joe
Speese, 177, and Tim
Thompson, 190, failed to
place, although Shanfelter
won one match. Speese lost
a controversial referee's
decision to Mike Conner,
Millersville, in the guarterfinals.
Over 2,000 spectators
watched the 12 team battle
narrow to just four teams
prior to Saturday night's
finals. Copping the team
title was pre-tournament
favorite Clarion State with
105.75 points, followed by
Slippery
Rock,
83.5.
Bloomsburg picked up third
place while Lock Haven
came in with a fourth place
finish at 73.75 points.
West Chester did not
compete in the championships this year. Actually,
the Bald Eagles jumped out
to an early tournament lead
on Friday afternoon and
hung, on until the final
consolation matches, when
the Bald Eagles could win
only two out of their six
consolation matches. This
cost the Bald Eagles the
PSCAC title. Winning their
consolation matches were
sophomore Mike Nauman
158, and senior Gary Uram,
118, who placed in the
PSCAC for the second
straight year by beating
Mike Nock of Bloomsburg,
11-6. Uram placed 5th.
Doug Gallaher, a freshman
wrestler, won three straight
including a fall over
number two seeded John
McGoud,
Mansfield,
before losing to eventual
champion Tony Caravella,
Bloomsburg, in the semifinals.
According to veteran mat
mentor Dr. Ken Cox, he
was especially pleased with
Moore and Koontz's performance, but believed the
entire team wrestled very
competitively. Koontz became LHS' 109th PSCAC
champ since the inaugural
tournament 35 years ago.
LHS has double the number
of conference champs than
any other conference
school.
Lock Haven State Basketball Team Downed by Clarion
by ROSELLE ROBAK
Lock Haven State College
played Clarion in an earlier
season meeting and lost by
a meager two points.
Saturday night in Thomas
Field House, Qarion State
shot 68% in the second half
to blow off the Bald Eagles
by a much wider margin of
73-52.
The Eagles are now
owners of a dismal 1-16
record but in first half

they ' matched

basket for basket and
trailed by only one point at
the half.
The Golden Eagles jumped out to an 8-0 lead behind
their sharp shooter Reggie
Wells, number two scorer
in the Westem Conference
and an excellent rebounder. Thompson got Lock
Haven on the scoreboard
with a short jumper, 8-2.
The local roundballers
didn't want to disappoint
the basketball players'
Parent's Night crowd and
by getting the ball to the
open man, slowly closed
the gap. Playmaker Don

came back to regain the
advantage.
Clarion controlled the
offensive boards but the
scrappy Eagles kept their
patient offense going and
Bosnik gave his team the
first lead of the contest at
7:50 remaining, 18-16. Ken
Richter and Al Holtzer
paced the Lock Haven
offensively to stay close to
the powerful Clarion. Tom
Huff started to give some
competition to the rivals
under the boards to keep
the Haven close. Chojnacki
hit a baseline shot to creep
within one, with only a
minute left to play. Guard
Riles put a sweet move on
Gibson and laid up two
more, but Clarion busted
through the Haven defense
for two more goals and a
one point advantage at the
half, 30-29.

by pounding the boards at
both ends and shot with

second period and the
defense was unable to
handle the Golden Eagle

Clarion's Sinni completed a three point play to

To Edinboro
by KAREN GABA
The Lock Haven Women's basketball team
traveled to Edinboro State
College to play a "tough"
team, as Coach Kyle
Cornelius noted. The
Eaglettes got off to a very
slow start in the first half,
but in any event did not
give up. They entered the
second half with the score
tallied at 24-47, Edinboro's
favor.
Coach Cornelius remarked, "Edinboro gained too
much of a lead for Lock
Haven to gain control."
This was not too much of a
disadvantage for the Haven
however, as the women put
it all together in the second
half to outscore the
opposition 42-37.
Due to the fact that
Edinboro had four women
over 6 ft. tall, they had an
advantage as they went on
to win the game 84-66.
Despite the score, the
Haven's high scorer Cathy
Landis tossed up 18 points
while her team mates
Sandy Kotecky added 10,
Mary Fleig contributed 7,
Lisa Hand 6, and Diane
Telemko, Michelle Gilgallon and Jan Lens all
chipped in with 5 points.
Two of Lock Havens women
didn't seem to find anyproblem with Edinboro's
tall women. Cathy Landis
and Bea Henry tallied 13
and 7 points respectively
for their rebounds offensively and defensively.

Garion leading 65-51. The
Golden Eagles padded their
advantage until the last
buzzer and walked off with
a 73-52 win.
