The rise of the Hammond Organ from an obscure miscellaneous instrument to its present
position of the newest major instrument in the jazz family is
due almost to the singular efforts
of James Oscar S m i t h , the
world's Number 1 Jazz Organist. The sudden rise in prominence of the Hammond Organ
was not the goal Jimmy Smith
set for himself when he switched
from piano some seven years ago.
In leaving the piano to become
an organist, Jimmy saw in the
organ a tremedous challenge that
would allow him unlimited ways
to express himself musically. He
has met the challenge successfully. In fact, so successful has
Jimmy been, that every organist
today owes credit to him for his
great influence.
J i m m y Smith is a restless,
probing artist. He is a musician w i t h d e e p convictions,
aware of the responsibilities of
a serious artist. He knows the
importance of communicating to
his audience. Among his fans
one can find the most loyal of
any artists in jazz.
Jimmy S m i t h was born in
Norristown, Pennsylvania, on
December 8, 1926. Both his
mother and father played the
piano. His father offered his
first formal instruction on piano.
Norristown, only a few miles
from Philadelphia, long known
as the incubator of great musical
talent, found J i m m y Smith
often observing the musicians in
the various clubs. Before long,
Jimmy entered the Orenstein
School of Music. He studied
piano, bass fiddle, harmony and
theory.
After his wartime service, he
returned home and joined Bobby
Edwards' Dial Tones and the
Herb Scott Quintet. He played
around the Newark, New Jersey,
area.
Jimmy joined Johnny Sparrow
and his Bows and Arrows before
taking up residence with Don
Gardner and his Sonatones with
whom he remained until 1954.
While with G a r d n e r , Jimmy
heard Wild Bill Davis, who led
the way as the first modern
pianist to s w i t c h to organ.
Jimtny was greatly impressed
with Davis' work. Because of
the favorable impression which
Davis gave him, Jimmy Smith
also planned to switch to the
organ.
By 195 5, Jimmy had mastered
the organ sufficiently to go on
his own. L e a v i n g Gardner,
Jimmy formed his first trio, with
two fellow Philadelphians, Thornel Schwartz on guitar, and long
time friend Donald Bailey on
drums. He was booked into the
Cafe Bohemia in New York as
an intermission group. It didn't
take long, however, for Jimmy

We Don't Believe It!
To the Editor:
The Eagle Eye has been the
subject of much criticism on our
campus recently. Much of this
criticism is harsh and over-exagerated. The Eagle Eye staff
puts in long hours and hard
work to print the paper. The
students should appreciate this
work and consider it when they
are making their evaluations.
When expressing criticism of
the newspaper, students are not
considering t h e overwhelming
odds t h a t confront the staff.
They are working with limited
facilities, in a small space, with
inadequate co-operation from the
students. If these factors are
c o n s i d e r e d , the Eagle Eye is
really a remarkable accomplishment.
The student who is so ready
to critically comment on the
paper should stop to think of the
difficulties that the pubhcation
has. If he does, he will realize
that many of his remarks are
overly harsh. He might also
look at the February 11 edition
of the Eagle Eye which deserves
praise rather than blame.
An Eagle Eye Reader
Editor's Note:
Thank you, reader, for the
note of praise. It is nice to
see that someone appreciates
our efforts, and recognizes our
difficulties which, incidentally,
are many.

There are solutions to this
problem. Plans for the future
fine arts building include pianos

which will be easily reached by
those wishing to use them. For
the p r e s e n t , however, a plan
could be worked out allowing
rseponsible students access to the
pianos in the music room in Sullivan Hall, the multi-purpose
room in the new classroom building, and perhaps even Akeley
Elementary School. S t u d e n t s
who have the knowledge and interest to find the time to play a
piano also possess the respect of
property necessary to be trusted
in taking care of such an instrument. Music is part of our
culture, a culture we should become more a part of as college
students. Perhaps the enjoyment
of music would be more prevalent here if those who have the
ability and desire were given the
access to pianos on the campus.

Student Co-operation
Editor:
Student co-operation has always been a problem t r e a t e d
with the feehng that the student is irresponsible and immature. We are constantly told
that the Student Union is dirty
because the student has no pride
in the school. The campus is
littered because the students just
don't care. The lounges of the
residence halls, we are told, are
typical e x a m p l e s of student
neglect. Everyone is acquainted
with these complaints and is,
most likely, slightly irritated
with them.
A phase of this problem that
is constantly overlooked is that
of granting the student with the
benefit of maturity. For example, we now have patrols of
the Eagle Wing during the weekends and it is b e i n g decided
whether or not to c l o s e the
Union at 10:00 p.m. This attitude toward the student body
only reflects that our government, the S.C.C, and the administration have little faith in
the student. Granted, the Eagle
Wing is not always clean and
the campus and residence hall
lounges are sometimes neglected,
but the fact that we are told
what to do denies us the independence college students should be
credited with having.
L o c k H a v e n State is not
punctuated with rule after rule.
What is needed, however, is an
expression of confidence in the
maturity of the student. Obviously this cannot be settled
overnight, but c e r t a i n steps
should be taken to give the student more responsibility. It is
preached in the classroom for the
student to develop more mature
attitudes, let's have a chance to
practice them.

Dirty Union
Dear Editor,
When I had my interview and
tour of the campus at Lock Haven State College, I was impressed with the general appearance of all the buildings that I
observed. Since that day two
years ago, I have changed my
opinion, particularly about the
Union. I commute to the college and frequently eat there.
Recently, some of the tables appeared to have been used as ash
trays or waste cans. On all the

The building, which is the last
of the original edifices erected on
the campus, was part of the old
Normal School.
It seems to be bye, bye bare
blackboards, so long shady classrooms, curtains for the candled
corridors, and farewell to the
frigid furnace, which kept the
musty air in Sullivan Hall at approximately fifty degrees fahrenheit in the winter, and at about
ninety-five in the summer, by
the same temperature scale.
Although the elder of the
buildings at LHSC will be razed
next year, it will not be forgotten. It has been proposed
that a memorial be erected somewhere on the campus in remembrance of the old Normal School.

tables there is supposed to be at
least one ash tray, that is unless
someone has moved it. Even so,
some people find it more convenient to ignore their cigarette
ashes and allow them to drop
onto the table and floor. One
student in particular, that I observed, c a s u a l l y crushed his
cigarette on the floor. Would
this person do the same in a
restaurant or cafeteria?
The paper that is left on the
tables, which often i n c l u d e s
wrappers, empty cigarette packs,
and occasionally a newspaper,
does not add to the appearance
of the room or to the convenience of the person who sits there
next. I have had to remove
trash from the tables on several
occasions before I could put my
books down. For those who are
not aware of it, the white object
on the right side of the main
door as one enters the snack bar
is a waste can. There is also
another like it near the vending
machines. USE THEM.
If everyone were less negligent
and not so careless, the Union
would appear to me as it did
two years ago. It may not become a Howard Johnson Restaurant, but it will be a decent place
in which to eat.

Silence Please
Dear Editor,
What ever happened to the
library occupied by librarians
who tiptoed through the stacks
of books with "Silence!" on their
lips? What ever happened to
the library where students were
afraid to speak above a whisper?
What ever happened to the library where the dropping of a
pencil created a major disturbance? I will tell you what happened to this library. It has
vanished from the campus of
Lock Haven State College. On
numerous visits to the campus
library, I have been greatly disturbed by the lack of silence. I
would like to illustrate this point
by giving an account of my observations on a recent night in
the library.
My first stop was the periodical room. At first, I wondered
why the room was so deserted.
It didn't take long to discover
the reason for the scarcity of
"scholars." A student member
of the library staff was engaged
in the process of hammering together what looked like two

The proposed memorial would
be in the form of a f ^untain, in
the center of which would be a
sculptored Bald Eagle. Although
the definite plans for the memorial have not as yet been made,
and the construction site has not
been decided upon, tho consensus at the last S.C.C. meeting seemed to be that it would
be an excellent idea to have a
memorial of this nature. LHSC
is one of the few colleges that
does not have on its campus anything of this sort.
If members of the student
body are interested in the proposed memorial, and have ideas
or suggestions concerning the
proposal, the Eagle Eye requests
that such comments and ideas
be submitted to the Eagle Eye
office in the form of letters-tothe-Editor.

pieces of wood. The banging of
a hammer can tend to limit a
student's concentration on reading material. To add to this
situation, one of the Hbrarians
was discussing in full voice the
misplacement of certain periodicals. My presence did not seem
to disturb her in the least. I
gave up my attempt at reading
and proceeded to the reference
room. There, much to my dismay, I discovered a group of
students enjoying a social hour.
The laughing and s h o u t i n g
didn't seem to bother anyone,
except the students who were
trying to study. The librarians
ignored these students with the
hope that they would soon disappear. As a last resort, I tried
the reserve room. In the back
of the room, some students were
listening to music. One student
liked the music so well that he
decided to sing along. I finally
decided to return to my room,
because I can always turn on
the raido if I want to hear some
music. When most students go
to the library, they don't expect
to encounter a "construction
crew," a social gathering, or an
opera singer. Students go to the
library to study in a quiet atmosphere. I, for one, am pleading
for a stricter enforcement of
the rule pertaining to silence in
the library. In the meantime, I
am going to burn my library
card in protest.

Even the autumn seemed only a tapering off from summer,
the hills were high enough and the trees thick enough

Only after the rains had started and stayed

What Has Happened to the Male Image?
GLENYS THOMAS, Journalism

An increasing popularity of
male beauty p r e p a r a t i o n s is
symptomatic of a new male image. N o t long ago a woman's
fashion magazine, with presumably nothing to lose, described
the "new young man" accompanied by a picture of Paul McCartney: "With a toss of his
long tossable hair, he makes old
Mr. Muscles — the crew-cut idol
of yesterday — seem suddenly
very square.
The man of the hour is a boy
in his twenties. He is elegant
and aristocratic in taste. The
fresh idea is that he brushes his
hair with gentle strokes, chooses
his shampoos with the seriousness of a connoisseur, and scents
h i m s e l f with enormous care
that's supposed to e x c i t e the
girls. Thus, selecting the right
tie is no longer the typical delemma. Selecting the most effective fragrance appears to be the
most worrisome problem to our
fair lad.
There used to be a time when
just a little dab would do you.
However, now, nothing short of
exotic unguents will suffice. T o
go along with these beauty aids,
we have the latest craze — the

sculpture cut. This procedure involves our manly "brutes" having their hair cut with a razor,
shampooed, waved with the aid
of a hair net, sprayed and then
dried in a hair dryer. This operation costs $4.JO. Then again,
what's money, when the end results are so enticing.
On the other hand, it was
Margaret Meade who said that
everyone seems to hold a "peculiar notion that elegant plumage
and fine feathers are not proper
for a man, when actually that is
the way t h i n g s are in most
species."
Or maybe we are reverting to
the styles of the Victorian Age
when men were just as bejeweled
and ruffled as the women, when
they carried just as many lace
hankies, or when they c o u l d
minuet just as mincingly as the
next fair damsel. Whatever the
case, there is a definite trend
toward the lack of masculinity
in the male sex. The beau of
these times certainly wears his
vanity as an ornament. Maybe
the female bird doesn't mind her
vividly plumed mate strutting
around, but how many girls are
attracted to peacocks?

QUESTION

— In Vietnam, do you feel that the United States
should go all out to win the war?
Mike Sullivan — Phys. Ed.
Vietnam isn't a war of two
countries, it's a war of two philosophies. I think it's right for
the U.S. to be trying to stop the
spread of communist philosophy
and dominance in southeast Asia.
If it were not for the U.S. the
communists c o u l d eventually
take over all of Southeast Asia,
and from there, who knows.
The U.S. should put its best efforts into Vietnam, but not
forget its domestic responsibiUties.

Georgia Townsend — Elem.
I feel that we should go all
out to win the war because, to
a certain extent, we have already
committed our promises to the
support of the South Vietnamese
people and their cause. If we
did fail to support them we
would lose face to ourselves as
well as to the few others who
have faith in us.

Eagles Make
Strong Bid For
Top Ten in NCAA
An article p r i n t e d in this
week's issue of Amateur WrestUng News states that Lock Haven will be in there fighting for
a position among the best ten
teams in the entire nation. The
article, written by editor Jess
Hoke says, "Lock Haven State
has tremendous t e a m balance
with potential winners in Bill
Blacksmith 152, Jerry Swope
177, and heavyweight Bob McDermott. They should also set
help from Adam Waltz 145, Jim
Blacksmith 160, and John Smith
167."
Bill Blacksmith beat the top
contender at 145, Jim Rogers,
by a score of 2-1 in the Oklahoma State vs. Lock Haven
State dual meet earlier in the
year. That match was at 152
pounds — Rogers will drop to
145 for the tourney to be held
in Ames, Iowa. Some contenders in Blacksmith's weight of
152 will be: Joe Vavaro, Gettysburg, r u n n e r u p in 1965;
Wayne Wells, Oklahoma; Dick
DeWalt, Penn State, E a s t e r n
champ: and Mike Reding, Oklahoma State.

opponent from second place Moorhead and
finishing by defeating Merle Sovereign of
Winona State in a solid 5-1 decision. Bill
Blacksmith has a good chance to become
national champ this w e e k at Ames, I o w a .
Jim Blacksmith w o n the small college championship in his first year of competition.
This is a f e a t not accomplished by too many
wrestlers. Jim w o n his final match by the
narrow score of 3-2.
At 167 John Smith h a d smooth sailing
until his final match which he lost by a score
of 10-8. Smith has had quite a n eventful
first year for the Bald Eagles and should give
wrestling fans m a n y thrills in the years to
come. Jerry Swope w a s , of course, the story
of the tournament.
He w o n this tourney
after losing the PSCC tourney to Gary Cook
of East Stroud. Cook did not compete, but
this fact cannot dim that of the Bald Eagle
captain. Swope should finish right near the
top this w e e k in Ames, I o w a .
Tom Elling lost out in the late preliminary round in the 191 pound class and thus
competed in his last N A I A tournament. Tom
has been a lifesaver a t any weight class
from 167 to heavyweight.
Bob McDermott lost his first match of the
year w h e n Billberg of Moorhead beat Bob
by a score of 3-1 in overtime. The match
may have not gone into overtime if McDermott would have m a d e his move for a
takedown a little sooner in the third period.
Bob had Billberg taken down at the end of
the period, but the referee ruled that Billberg's knees w e r e not touching the mat a t
the time the buzzer sounded. These two
could easily meet in a very important match
deciding w h o the national champ will be.
The final action of the year will be seen
for the Bald Eagles today and tomorrow
when their strength will be tested by the
best in the nation. The Eagles should, by
all experts' opinions place in the top ten.
Just how high will be determined by five
men and the m a n w h o w a s named coach of
the N A I A tournament in his first year a t the
helm of the Lock Haven State wrestling t e a m .
