Students Enraged Over Athletk Cutixicks
by ROSELLE ROBAK
The Senate Appropriations
Committee met last night
with a throng of concerned
students and athletes, over
the possible cut of $22,000
from the athletic budget
that would leave a total of
$50,000. Many athletes felt
that such a move would
paralyze the present LHS
athletic program.
The big point in the
controversy was the SAC
decision last fall, to
increase the athletic budget
from 41 % to43%. The SAC
committee has reconsidered student priorities,
believes them to be lower in
the area of athletics and
feels the budget should
reflect that change of
intrest. Thus, the cutback.
Joe Harper and Diana
Hummel, President and
Treasurer of SCC, explained that although SAC had
made the decision at that
time, it was voted down by
the Senate. The proposed
amount of $80,000 to
athletics did not have to be
kept.
SAC held the meeting to
get opinions from athletic
participants and those
sympathetic to the cause.
Hummel said, "Prior to
this meeting 1 had not
heard much support of
athletics - students seemed
to favor a cut." After
routine business was taken
care of by the committee,
the meeting was then open
for discussion on the
athletic issue.
The biggest point raised
by the student athletes was
that Lock Haven had a
well-known reputation in
sports and that potential
students would be turned
off by a watered down
program, this in turn being
a loss to the institution.
Joe Harper raised the
point that there were no
facts to support that
opinion.
Tod Eberle, Director of
Athletics answered with
statistics from the Admissions office indicating that
students come to Lock
Haven for major first,
and athletics second on
their priority list. "Over
96% of students perceive
the Athletic program at
LHS to be a good one. I
think this is a valid reason
to keep our present
program." he said.
Eberle's reply drew
cheers and whistles from
the crowd.
Sharon Taylor, Director
of Equal Opportunity of
Sports, commented that
one-third of the school was
composed of physical education majors. That plus
the amount of spectators at
games was given by Taylor
as reason enough to serve
to keep athletics at its
present level. She questioned, "What has made
the SCC decide to make
such a cut and emasculate
the program and cut them
in half."
Hummel said athletics
has been dropping in
percentages through the
years, a major consideration for budget proceedings. JefE Briel, SAC
member,
complained
about the rising number of
sports which increases cost.
"You add a sport here, and
then you have to have
another women's sport to
comply with title IX." He
called for a limit on the
number of sports, to help
ease budget woes.
Physical education professors were present to add
their thoughts. Coach
Conners explained that
while not every person at
Lock Haven plays varsity,
they are on the team. This
makes them more attractive
to potential job positions.
"Kids on teams will get
jobs because of team
participation. It's crucial in
placing kids for a coaching
experience."
Harper asked if the
student activity fee should
pay to further career
objectives. "Is it the
students' duty to pay for
this?" he questioned.
Other coach, Jim Dolan,
wondered if
students
understood the full scope of
athletics. "Athletics carry
this institution - the athletic
training program, teacher
education is involved." He
said that the possible cut
would have a lasting
influence, and if carried
out would be disasterous.
Many students were
apprehensive about the
"4-4 plan." If athletics
received the cut, it was
rumored that the present
number of sports would be
reduced to 4 men's and four
women's sports.
Hummel admitted that if
the cut came about, the
plan was a possibility.
Athletic policy would decide if it came to that.
Harper reassured, "We
have nothoughton
planning to cut any one sport."
Another student added
"What do
English and
biology departments do for
the school? Coaches recruit
and work hard for this
institution."
Eberle ended his comments by bluntly telling the
SAC Committee, "Last
year there was a problem
with the athletic budget.
Are you going to sit there
and cry wolf every year?
Milliken can't ride in on a
white horse to bail you out.*""
Hummel'quietly replied, "I
assure you we aren't crying
wolf." After several more
comments were heard, the
meeting was adjourned.

Local Industry Under Fire
By PHILIP J. BURLINGAME
A Lock Haven industry is
currently being investigated by the Pa.
Department of Environmental
Resources for air pollution
violations. The Department's Bureau of Air
Quality has cited Pennmount Industries with three
violations of air quality
standards.
Pennmount Industries,
located near the south end
of the campus on Church
Street, manufactures wood
products. Excessive
emmissions of thick, black
smoke have been observed
by state officials on three
occassions this month. The
company has been notified
in writing that they are in
violation of the law.
David Bish, a representative of the Department of Environmental
Resources' Bureau of Air
Quality, said yesterday that
.10 legal action is being
taken against Pennmount
at the present time.
Pennmount president
Hjalmer Grindheim had
promised the bureau that
his company would stop
burning bituminous coal by
today and would agun
meet state and federal
standards.
According to Grindheim,
Pennmount was forced to
bum dirty bituminous coal
several times this month
because the national coal
strike has made anthracite
coal unabailable. Yesterday
Grindheim stated that the
company has recieved an
anthracite coal shipment
and is already in compliance with the law.
Many local residents
witnessed the heavy smoke
emmissions but no municipal action has been taken
against Pennmount. Local
District
Attorney
J.
Michael Williamson reported no knowledge of the
excessive emmission and
indicated that he did not
take any legal action
against the industry.
Williamson also serves as
Pennmoimt's legal adviser.
Bish noted that the
Department of Environmental Resources can fine
an industry from SlOO to
$1,000 for a first offense
and in extreme cases of
environmental damage, can
issue a "cease and desist"
order to shut an industry
down.
Pennmount's smoky
emmissions pose no serious
permanent damage to the
local environment according to Bish. "As a result of
our investigation," Bish
said, "Grindheim says he'll
get anthracite coal by this
Friday.
Door Prizes, Concert Tickets^ Athletic Cutbacks, Greet New SCC Senators
by JIM RUNKLE
The freshman senators
received their first taste of
SCC parliamentary procedure last Wednesday,
when SCC President Joe
Harper called the senate
meeting to order. Unlike
other meetings in the past,
Harper introduced some
levity into the proceedings
in the form of door prizes,
one six-pack of Lowenbrou
(only 21-year-olds eligible)
and one ticket for the
Sanford/Townsend Concert.
One of the most important topics of discussion was
not voted upon, but merely
a clarification of recent
rumours concerning a
budget cut for athletics.
President Joe Harper
stated that Dr. Eberle,
working upon the assumption of an activity fee
increase, submitted a tentative proposal of approx.
$80,000 to the Athletic
Policy Advisory Committee. He continued,
saying that Eberle's proposal, plus a proposal that
would maintain the present
activity fee with a cut in the
athletics budget would be
presented to the senate at
the next regular meeting.
At that time, the senate
would decide which of the
two guidelines the SAC
Committee would follow.
Campus CAS Coordinator, Carolyn Cook, reported that her major emphasis
was on the present bill to
lower the drinking age to 19
years of age. The trip to
Harrisburg, a lobbying
excursion for interested
LHS students, was delayed
until the last week in
February. Cook also mentioned the appropriations
bill that would provide 5
million for the renovation of
Thomas Field House, and a
quarter of a million for
lighting in Sloan Theatre.
Robin Dick, Parliamentarian, discussed the voter's
registration drive for LHS.
The college is located in the
3rd ward. He pointed out
that the student voting
block had the potential
"power to run the city of
Lock Haven." He stated
that students who do not
register, have no right to
complain about such things
as "outrageous housing
fees."
Many members were
appointed to various ad hoc
and standing committees,
but the most coveted
appointments, those to the
Student Appropriations
Committee, drew the most
competition. Of the seven
candidates, Jeff Bomboy,
Jeff Briel and Karen
Williams received the
largest share of votes in an
extremely close ballot, and
took their places on the
committee.
At the conclusion of the
meeting, the names were
drawn for the door prizes.
Mr. Nagy won on the first
drawing and gracefully
declined his prize, as did
Chriss Flynn on the second
drawing. Robin Dick eventually won the ticket to the
Sanford/Townsend performance. Visitor, John
Laporta, won the six-pack
of beer.

COMMENTARY
All About
Winners and Losers
In three years, mnch has cluuiged at LHS. New
academic programs have been initiated, there are now more
men than women, and assorted other things. Yet, one thing
liasn't changed, sometiilng which Is ondoobtedly not
peculiar te LHS and that is the incredible amonnt of alcohol
consnmed by yoor average college stadent. Some of as are
known to drink during the week, Imt come Friday evening,
the chances of seeing a solier, responsible hnman lieing are
abont a mllDon to one. There are paitiee in the dorma,
parties in the streets, bat one place standa oat as probably
the nnmber one watering troogh for LHS students. On Main
Street there is an attractive old blue bailding wlilch houses a
certain group ofyoongmen. This bnilding sees a steady flow
of customers on any given Friday night.
Having lieen a customer at this interesting eatabilslunent,
I have witnessed some strange and not so strange goings on,
for example, a certain friend of mine [who wiO remain
anonomons]
was seen one night outside of tills honse
laying face down on the sidewalk, poking hia guts out. The
next day he was quite embarrased. Quite understandable,
bat this brings me to the moat captivating and andonbtably
the most Important reason why people go to this blue house
on Friday nights, SEX.
Some come to watch, however, most come to piay and
end up watching. I have had the fortune of plajing all of the
alMve roles at one time or another. Just watching is by far
the least harmful, but the least satisfying. The watcher as a
rule, usually ends up quite drank and possibly like my friend
who I mentioned. Therefore I do not recommend Just
watching. The individual who attempts to play the game and
falls Is usoally either found masturbating in some corner of
the room or commitlng acts of useless violence against some
Inanimate object or individual. Iliese people have made the
common mistake of A. apllllng a beer down the front of the
hidivldaai they are trying to pickup, B. spilling lieer on
themselves, causing them to smeU quite awfol, and C.
several others, but you probably know them aa well aa I do.
Now let us tam to the winners. These are the ones with
the smiles on their faces, Saturday in the cafeteria. They
have scored, and are proud of it. Wliat must one do to win?
You must A. be reasonably sober, B. Iiave alisoiutely no
sense of morals, and C. be driven with an Incredible desire
to get layed.
Being a winner has its drawbaclcs. For example, there is a
distinct possibility that you may contnurt V.D. This is not a
very pleasant prospect, however tliere are various ways to
avoid this. Some, like being a watcher or ending ap a
watcher, are mentioned aliove. Some are available at the
local dragstoce.
So there yoa have it. if you haven't tried visiting this
blue house on Main Street, I strongly recommend it. If you
are a regular, well, I'll probably see yoa tonight.

EAQLE EYE
I have decided to launch myself on a career as an
investigative reporter here with the Eagle Eye. [Ed. note: I
know nothing of this.] 1 plan to expose any or all forms of
scandal that 1 become aware of, for 1 speak only the truth.
Today's commentary is about the wanton destruction of
residence hall property. First of all - Why? What does it
prove? Do the male destructors think that by destroying a
chair, a bathroom, or whatever, they are affirming their
masculinity to those around them? Do thefemaledestructors
believe that they, too, are affirming their masculinity?
(Remember, this is Lock Haven.) Destruction serves no
purpose, but only hurts everyone in the end. Stop and think:
Is this really an atmosphere of academia, where boys
become men and girls become women? Or, is this a college
for future terrorists? Whatever the reason there is no
excuse, it is extremely unnecessary. Think about it. Would
you want your sister to go out on a blind date with a terrorist?
Another case for example—On Saturday morning I visited a friend who resides in a dorm. When I paid a visit to
the "Relief" room I was dismayed at the sights before me. 1
had no idea ofthe total disgust my eyes witnessed. First, the
smell could curl the hair on a billiard ball. My eyes watered
as 1 vainly searched for paper in a stall, but alas, there was
none. This was mild as 1 roamed about looking for a seat,
free from spots and splotches caused by a bewildered drunk
passerby who had regurgitated the previous evening.
Taking care not to step in any puddles (caused by poor aiming) 1 immediately headed for the door,—pausing for a
moment to reflect on the poor janitors who must face the
quagmire come Monday morning, and try to clean it up. 1
think it only humane that each custodian should be issued a
gas mask before facing this despicable task. It's no wonder
that most men in maintenance view the students as something closely resembling the Cro-Magnon man.
Now honestly, would you be proud to bring your
parents or girlfriend/boyfriend into your dorm? Vandalism
and misconduct can be done without. At the very best, those
who destroy should be ejected from this institution with a
warning never to return. The problem is that nobody will inform authorities of vandalism. The next time ,you look in a
mirror, take a good look, and ask. "Should 1 be forced to put
up with this?" 1 think you know the answer—appropriate
action is necessary.
You'll be hearing from me again as 1 follow up on this
matter.

Sohnleitner Offers Alternative
to Stinginess of Athletics
By J A C K S O H N L E I T N E R
The athletic department is currently in an uproar
because of a possible $20,000 cut in their total budget next
year. They have a strong feeling against the Social
Committee because they feel that this committee is directly
responsible for this cut. They may be correct. Who knows? I
am chairperson of the committee and all 1 did was ask for a
bigger percentage of the budget. The reason why 1 did so is
simple. I must satisfy every student on this campus, athletes
and non-athletes alike. No other organization must do this.
There is a heavy dose of irony here though. The
committee (or the person) they despise could be their
salvation. Let me explain. In numerous small colleges, the
social committee through the profits they make, support the
whole athletic budget. I cannot say that our committee with
its profit making potential could ever support the whole
athletic budget but surely we could finance the smaller
athletic budgets. Without this burden, the larger teams
would not force the smaller teams out of existence.
But a lot of the athletic teams are stingy. The coaches
only care about their own programs. Screw all the rest. As
long as they keep this attitude the athletic budget is going to
be in trouble. Let's look at a hypothical example. Let's say
football got all the money they asked for but by doing so we
had to drop swimming and baseball. Who is going to gripe?
Right! Only the swimming and baseball coach. So until they
get some form of unity at budget time, all they will end up
doing is putting each other out of business. 1 am willing to
talk to Joe Harper about putting asidea percentage of profits
to go toward helping the smaller teams.
Rumors are flying around campus about changing Law
Enforcement's name to Campus Security. 1 got a better
name for them. Let's call them meter maids!
Law enforcement never ceases to amaze me. Just when
1 feel they've screwed up about as much as possible they top
it. A friend has lost his driving privileges because of all the
citations he recieved. He pays all his tickets so why is he not
allowed to drive on campus? There are faculty members on
this campus that never pay their parking fines and owe in
excess of $100.00. So why are they allowed to drive on
campus and not this student? I just can't believe injustices
like this can take place. May God help us all.
Letters to the Editor
Dear Mr. Harper and
Student Senate,
I find it totally absurd
that at tonight's Senate
meeting (Feb. 15) door
prizes will be given! This is
reducing the value of being
a senator. If people want to
attend the senate meetings,
they will come only because
they care. Do you really
want people to come only in
the hopes of winning the
"prize" of the evening? 1
know! maybe we could start
passing out cupie dolls to
all "good little senators"
who don't leave early!
What motivation that would
be, Mr. Harper!
And for those angelic
people who sign up for a
committee we could have a
grand prize drawing for a
dinner in the PUB!
What do you plan to do if
the winner of your wine is a
minor? This is illegal! Can
the student government
justify this behavior? I can
see no way that you can. . .
And by the way, who's
paying for this???
I'm very sorry that 1 can
not attend tonight's meeting, but you see, my
home-town state represen-
tative just returned from a
State Senate meeting
where he won a free keg. . .
and my district decided to
celebrate!!
It's sad to see this
happening with our student
government. I always
thought there was hope for
it.

Dear Editor,
We would like to quote a
member of the SAC (Senate
Appropriations Committee)
which deals with the issue
at hand. At the meeting of
February 9, 1978, one SAC
member said, "I am not
involved in athletics, so
why should they get any of
my $40.00?" Is this the way
SAC makes their decisions?
What has SAC got to
hide? When asked simple
direct
questions
by
senators on Wednesday
night, SAC gave wordy,
round-about answers.
Will the budget be
presented to the Senate
before the last meeting of
the year? Upon asking this
question, we were given a
lecture on when requests
were to be submitted. We
the undersigned, feel that,
again this year as in the
past, a budget will be
rail-roaded through. One
that is not wanted by the
majority of students.
When asked what figure
athletics might be working
with, they said that last
semester they had thrown
around a figure of $80,000.
The students have heard
through the grapevine that,
in reality, this semester
SAC is proposing a $50,000
budget, $22,000 less than
last year. What is the
correct figure?
SAC has said that
without an activity-fee
increase, athletics will have
to be cut. Why? Please tell
us. It would seem to us that
if the activity-fee remains
the same, then the budget
total remains the same as
last year, hence athletics
should remain the same as
last year without an
activity-fee increase.
Students have also heard
of a proposal to instate a
4-4 plan. This would mean
cutting all sports except
four men's and four
women's to club status.
Can you imagine a soccer
" C l u b " or a baseball
"Club" with no games
other than maybe a couple
of exhibition games? Isn't
this what the plan implies?
Lets be serious, can you
imagine a notable Phys.
Ed. school with such a
plan? We would like SAC to
come out in the open with
their plan in time for the
students to decide where
their money will go.
Sincerely,
Mark Fogel

Students Enraged Over Athletk Cutixicks
by ROSELLE ROBAK
The Senate Appropriations
Committee met last night
with a throng of concerned
students and athletes, over
the possible cut of $22,000
from the athletic budget
that would leave a total of
$50,000. Many athletes felt
that such a move would
paralyze the present LHS
athletic program.
The big point in the
controversy was the SAC
decision last fall, to
increase the athletic budget
from 41 % to43%. The SAC
committee has reconsidered student priorities,
believes them to be lower in
the area of athletics and
feels the budget should
reflect that change of
intrest. Thus, the cutback.
Joe Harper and Diana
Hummel, President and
Treasurer of SCC, explained that although SAC had
made the decision at that
time, it was voted down by
the Senate. The proposed
amount of $80,000 to
athletics did not have to be
kept.
SAC held the meeting to
get opinions from athletic
participants and those
sympathetic to the cause.
Hummel said, "Prior to
this meeting 1 had not
heard much support of
athletics - students seemed
to favor a cut." After
routine business was taken
care of by the committee,
the meeting was then open
for discussion on the
athletic issue.
The biggest point raised
by the student athletes was
that Lock Haven had a
well-known reputation in
sports and that potential
students would be turned
off by a watered down
program, this in turn being
a loss to the institution.
Joe Harper raised the
point that there were no
facts to support that
opinion.
Tod Eberle, Director of
Athletics answered with
statistics from the Admissions office indicating that
students come to Lock
Haven for major first,
and athletics second on
their priority list. "Over
96% of students perceive
the Athletic program at
LHS to be a good one. I
think this is a valid reason
to keep our present
program." he said.
Eberle's reply drew
cheers and whistles from
the crowd.
Sharon Taylor, Director
of Equal Opportunity of
Sports, commented that
one-third of the school was
composed of physical education majors. That plus
the amount of spectators at
games was given by Taylor
as reason enough to serve
to keep athletics at its
present level. She questioned, "What has made
the SCC decide to make
such a cut and emasculate
the program and cut them
in half."
Hummel said athletics
has been dropping in
percentages through the
years, a major consideration for budget proceedings. JefE Briel, SAC
member,
complained
about the rising number of
sports which increases cost.
"You add a sport here, and
then you have to have
another women's sport to
comply with title IX." He
called for a limit on the
number of sports, to help
ease budget woes.
Physical education professors were present to add
their thoughts. Coach
Conners explained that
while not every person at
Lock Haven plays varsity,
they are on the team. This
makes them more attractive
to potential job positions.
"Kids on teams will get
jobs because of team
participation. It's crucial in
placing kids for a coaching
experience."
Harper asked if the
student activity fee should
pay to further career
objectives. "Is it the
students' duty to pay for
this?" he questioned.
Other coach, Jim Dolan,
wondered if
students
understood the full scope of
athletics. "Athletics carry
this institution - the athletic
training program, teacher
education is involved." He
said that the possible cut
would have a lasting
influence, and if carried
out would be disasterous.
Many students were
apprehensive about the
"4-4 plan." If athletics
received the cut, it was
rumored that the present
number of sports would be
reduced to 4 men's and four
women's sports.
Hummel admitted that if
the cut came about, the
plan was a possibility.
Athletic policy would decide if it came to that.
Harper reassured, "We
have nothoughton
planning to cut any one sport."
Another student added
"What do
English and
biology departments do for
the school? Coaches recruit
and work hard for this
institution."
Eberle ended his comments by bluntly telling the
SAC Committee, "Last
year there was a problem
with the athletic budget.
Are you going to sit there
and cry wolf every year?
Milliken can't ride in on a
white horse to bail you out.*""
Hummel'quietly replied, "I
assure you we aren't crying
wolf." After several more
comments were heard, the
meeting was adjourned.

Local Industry Under Fire
By PHILIP J. BURLINGAME
A Lock Haven industry is
currently being investigated by the Pa.
Department of Environmental
Resources for air pollution
violations. The Department's Bureau of Air
Quality has cited Pennmount Industries with three
violations of air quality
standards.
Pennmount Industries,
located near the south end
of the campus on Church
Street, manufactures wood
products. Excessive
emmissions of thick, black
smoke have been observed
by state officials on three
occassions this month. The
company has been notified
in writing that they are in
violation of the law.
David Bish, a representative of the Department of Environmental
Resources' Bureau of Air
Quality, said yesterday that
.10 legal action is being
taken against Pennmount
at the present time.
Pennmount president
Hjalmer Grindheim had
promised the bureau that
his company would stop
burning bituminous coal by
today and would agun
meet state and federal
standards.
According to Grindheim,
Pennmount was forced to
bum dirty bituminous coal
several times this month
because the national coal
strike has made anthracite
coal unabailable. Yesterday
Grindheim stated that the
company has recieved an
anthracite coal shipment
and is already in compliance with the law.
Many local residents
witnessed the heavy smoke
emmissions but no municipal action has been taken
against Pennmount. Local
District
Attorney
J.
Michael Williamson reported no knowledge of the
excessive emmission and
indicated that he did not
take any legal action
against the industry.
Williamson also serves as
Pennmoimt's legal adviser.
Bish noted that the
Department of Environmental Resources can fine
an industry from SlOO to
$1,000 for a first offense
and in extreme cases of
environmental damage, can
issue a "cease and desist"
order to shut an industry
down.
Pennmount's smoky
emmissions pose no serious
permanent damage to the
local environment according to Bish. "As a result of
our investigation," Bish
said, "Grindheim says he'll
get anthracite coal by this
Friday.
Door Prizes, Concert Tickets^ Athletic Cutbacks, Greet New SCC Senators
by JIM RUNKLE
The freshman senators
received their first taste of
SCC parliamentary procedure last Wednesday,
when SCC President Joe
Harper called the senate
meeting to order. Unlike
other meetings in the past,
Harper introduced some
levity into the proceedings
in the form of door prizes,
one six-pack of Lowenbrou
(only 21-year-olds eligible)
and one ticket for the
Sanford/Townsend Concert.
One of the most important topics of discussion was
not voted upon, but merely
a clarification of recent
rumours concerning a
budget cut for athletics.
President Joe Harper
stated that Dr. Eberle,
working upon the assumption of an activity fee
increase, submitted a tentative proposal of approx.
$80,000 to the Athletic
Policy Advisory Committee. He continued,
saying that Eberle's proposal, plus a proposal that
would maintain the present
activity fee with a cut in the
athletics budget would be
presented to the senate at
the next regular meeting.
At that time, the senate
would decide which of the
two guidelines the SAC
Committee would follow.
Campus CAS Coordinator, Carolyn Cook, reported that her major emphasis
was on the present bill to
lower the drinking age to 19
years of age. The trip to
Harrisburg, a lobbying
excursion for interested
LHS students, was delayed
until the last week in
February. Cook also mentioned the appropriations
bill that would provide 5
million for the renovation of
Thomas Field House, and a
quarter of a million for
lighting in Sloan Theatre.
Robin Dick, Parliamentarian, discussed the voter's
registration drive for LHS.
The college is located in the
3rd ward. He pointed out
that the student voting
block had the potential
"power to run the city of
Lock Haven." He stated
that students who do not
register, have no right to
complain about such things
as "outrageous housing
fees."
Many members were
appointed to various ad hoc
and standing committees,
but the most coveted
appointments, those to the
Student Appropriations
Committee, drew the most
competition. Of the seven
candidates, Jeff Bomboy,
Jeff Briel and Karen
Williams received the
largest share of votes in an
extremely close ballot, and
took their places on the
committee.
At the conclusion of the
meeting, the names were
drawn for the door prizes.
Mr. Nagy won on the first
drawing and gracefully
declined his prize, as did
Chriss Flynn on the second
drawing. Robin Dick eventually won the ticket to the
Sanford/Townsend performance. Visitor, John
Laporta, won the six-pack
of beer.

EAGLE EYE
COMMENTARY
All About
Winners and Losers
In three years, mnch has cluuiged at LHS. New
academic programs have been initiated, there are now more
men than women, and assorted other things. Yet, one thing
liasn't changed, sometiilng which Is ondoobtedly not
peculiar te LHS and that is the incredible amonnt of alcohol
consnmed by yoor average college stadent. Some of as are
known to drink during the week, Imt come Friday evening,
the chances of seeing a solier, responsible hnman lieing are
abont a mllDon to one. There are paitiee in the dorma,
parties in the streets, bat one place standa oat as probably
the nnmber one watering troogh for LHS students. On Main
Street there is an attractive old blue bailding wlilch houses a
certain group ofyoongmen. This bnilding sees a steady flow
of customers on any given Friday night.
Having lieen a customer at this interesting eatabilslunent,
I have witnessed some strange and not so strange goings on,
for example, a certain friend of mine [who wiO remain
anonomons]
was seen one night outside of tills honse
laying face down on the sidewalk, poking hia guts out. The
next day he was quite embarrased. Quite understandable,
bat this brings me to the moat captivating and andonbtably
the most Important reason why people go to this blue house
on Friday nights, SEX.
Some come to watch, however, most come to piay and
end up watching. I have had the fortune of plajing all of the
alMve roles at one time or another. Just watching is by far
the least harmful, but the least satisfying. The watcher as a
rule, usually ends up quite drank and possibly like my friend
who I mentioned. Therefore I do not recommend Just
watching. The individual who attempts to play the game and
falls Is usoally either found masturbating in some corner of
the room or commitlng acts of useless violence against some
Inanimate object or individual. Iliese people have made the
common mistake of A. apllllng a beer down the front of the
hidivldaai they are trying to pickup, B. spilling lieer on
themselves, causing them to smeU quite awfol, and C.
several others, but you probably know them aa well aa I do.
Now let us tam to the winners. These are the ones with
the smiles on their faces, Saturday in the cafeteria. They
have scored, and are proud of it. Wliat must one do to win?
You must A. be reasonably sober, B. Iiave alisoiutely no
sense of morals, and C. be driven with an Incredible desire
to get layed.
Being a winner has its drawbaclcs. For example, there is a
distinct possibility that you may contnurt V.D. This is not a
very pleasant prospect, however tliere are various ways to
avoid this. Some, like being a watcher or ending ap a
watcher, are mentioned aliove. Some are available at the
local dragstoce.
So there yoa have it. if you haven't tried visiting this
blue house on Main Street, I strongly recommend it. If you
are a regular, well, I'll probably see yoa tonight.

EAQLE EYE
I have decided to launch myself on a career as an
investigative reporter here with the Eagle Eye. [Ed. note: I
know nothing of this.] 1 plan to expose any or all forms of
scandal that 1 become aware of, for 1 speak only the truth.
Today's commentary is about the wanton destruction of
residence hall property. First of all - Why? What does it
prove? Do the male destructors think that by destroying a
chair, a bathroom, or whatever, they are affirming their
masculinity to those around them? Do thefemaledestructors
believe that they, too, are affirming their masculinity?
(Remember, this is Lock Haven.) Destruction serves no
purpose, but only hurts everyone in the end. Stop and think:
Is this really an atmosphere of academia, where boys
become men and girls become women? Or, is this a college
for future terrorists? Whatever the reason there is no
excuse, it is extremely unnecessary. Think about it. Would
you want your sister to go out on a blind date with a terrorist?
Another case for example—On Saturday morning I visited a friend who resides in a dorm. When I paid a visit to
the "Relief" room I was dismayed at the sights before me. 1
had no idea ofthe total disgust my eyes witnessed. First, the
smell could curl the hair on a billiard ball. My eyes watered
as 1 vainly searched for paper in a stall, but alas, there was
none. This was mild as 1 roamed about looking for a seat,
free from spots and splotches caused by a bewildered drunk
passerby who had regurgitated the previous evening.
Taking care not to step in any puddles (caused by poor aiming) 1 immediately headed for the door,—pausing for a
moment to reflect on the poor janitors who must face the
quagmire come Monday morning, and try to clean it up. 1
think it only humane that each custodian should be issued a
gas mask before facing this despicable task. It's no wonder
that most men in maintenance view the students as something closely resembling the Cro-Magnon man.
Now honestly, would you be proud to bring your
parents or girlfriend/boyfriend into your dorm? Vandalism
and misconduct can be done without. At the very best, those
who destroy should be ejected from this institution with a
warning never to return. The problem is that nobody will inform authorities of vandalism. The next time ,you look in a
mirror, take a good look, and ask. "Should 1 be forced to put
up with this?" 1 think you know the answer—appropriate
action is necessary.
You'll be hearing from me again as 1 follow up on this
matter.

Sohnleitner Offers Alternative
to Stinginess of Athletics
By J A C K S O H N L E I T N E R
The athletic department is currently in an uproar
because of a possible $20,000 cut in their total budget next
year. They have a strong feeling against the Social
Committee because they feel that this committee is directly
responsible for this cut. They may be correct. Who knows? I
am chairperson of the committee and all 1 did was ask for a
bigger percentage of the budget. The reason why 1 did so is
simple. I must satisfy every student on this campus, athletes
and non-athletes alike. No other organization must do this.
There is a heavy dose of irony here though. The
committee (or the person) they despise could be their
salvation. Let me explain. In numerous small colleges, the
social committee through the profits they make, support the
whole athletic budget. I cannot say that our committee with
its profit making potential could ever support the whole
athletic budget but surely we could finance the smaller
athletic budgets. Without this burden, the larger teams
would not force the smaller teams out of existence.
But a lot of the athletic teams are stingy. The coaches
only care about their own programs. Screw all the rest. As
long as they keep this attitude the athletic budget is going to
be in trouble. Let's look at a hypothical example. Let's say
football got all the money they asked for but by doing so we
had to drop swimming and baseball. Who is going to gripe?
Right! Only the swimming and baseball coach. So until they
get some form of unity at budget time, all they will end up
doing is putting each other out of business. 1 am willing to
talk to Joe Harper about putting asidea percentage of profits
to go toward helping the smaller teams.
Rumors are flying around campus about changing Law
Enforcement's name to Campus Security. 1 got a better
name for them. Let's call them meter maids!
Law enforcement never ceases to amaze me. Just when
1 feel they've screwed up about as much as possible they top
it. A friend has lost his driving privileges because of all the
citations he recieved. He pays all his tickets so why is he not
allowed to drive on campus? There are faculty members on
this campus that never pay their parking fines and owe in
excess of $100.00. So why are they allowed to drive on
campus and not this student? I just can't believe injustices
like this can take place. May God help us all.
Letters to the Editor
Dear Mr. Harper and
Student Senate,
I find it totally absurd
that at tonight's Senate
meeting (Feb. 15) door
prizes will be given! This is
reducing the value of being
a senator. If people want to
attend the senate meetings,
they will come only because
they care. Do you really
want people to come only in
the hopes of winning the
"prize" of the evening? 1
know! maybe we could start
passing out cupie dolls to
all "good little senators"
who don't leave early!
What motivation that would
be, Mr. Harper!
And for those angelic
people who sign up for a
committee we could have a
grand prize drawing for a
dinner in the PUB!
What do you plan to do if
the winner of your wine is a
minor? This is illegal! Can
the student government
justify this behavior? I can
see no way that you can. . .
And by the way, who's
paying for this???
I'm very sorry that 1 can
not attend tonight's meeting, but you see, my
home-town state represen-
tative just returned from a
State Senate meeting
where he won a free keg. . .
and my district decided to
celebrate!!
It's sad to see this
happening with our student
government. I always
thought there was hope for
it.

Dear Editor,
We would like to quote a
member of the SAC (Senate
Appropriations Committee)
which deals with the issue
at hand. At the meeting of
February 9, 1978, one SAC
member said, "I am not
involved in athletics, so
why should they get any of
my $40.00?" Is this the way
SAC makes their decisions?
What has SAC got to
hide? When asked simple
direct
questions
by
senators on Wednesday
night, SAC gave wordy,
round-about answers.
Will the budget be
presented to the Senate
before the last meeting of
the year? Upon asking this
question, we were given a
lecture on when requests
were to be submitted. We
the undersigned, feel that,
again this year as in the
past, a budget will be
rail-roaded through. One
that is not wanted by the
majority of students.
When asked what figure
athletics might be working
with, they said that last
semester they had thrown
around a figure of $80,000.
The students have heard
through the grapevine that,
in reality, this semester
SAC is proposing a $50,000
budget, $22,000 less than
last year. What is the
correct figure?
SAC has said that
without an activity-fee
increase, athletics will have
to be cut. Why? Please tell
us. It would seem to us that
if the activity-fee remains
the same, then the budget
total remains the same as
last year, hence athletics
should remain the same as
last year without an
activity-fee increase.
Students have also heard
of a proposal to instate a
4-4 plan. This would mean
cutting all sports except
four men's and four
women's to club status.
Can you imagine a soccer
" C l u b " or a baseball
"Club" with no games
other than maybe a couple
of exhibition games? Isn't
this what the plan implies?
Lets be serious, can you
imagine a notable Phys.
Ed. school with such a
plan? We would like SAC to
come out in the open with
their plan in time for the
students to decide where
their money will go.
Sincerely,
Mark Fogel

The Greek Housing

many to be just a dream, is
becoming more and more a
reality as time goes on.
The first meeting of the
Greek Housing Corporation
Board of Directors, which
was held January 12th,
proves that the complex is
taking shape.
At the meeting, a status
report was given by James
Lovett, Assistant to State
Representative Russell P.
Letterman. Lovette discussed the future funding of the
housing complex through
federal and state resources.
The board of directors
also elected temporary
officers. Bryan Van Deun,
Advisor for Greek Affairs,
was elected Acting President and Deborah Rumsey
who is President of
Panhe'lenic Council, was
