Therapist demonstrates techniques in Sloan
By JULIE MCGOVERN
Staff Reporter
He has been, "Characterized as one of the finest
therapists on the west coast,"
said Dr. Neil Wil.son of Dr.
Cliff Smith. Smith, a leading
Gestalt psychotherapist from
Williamsport, spoke before a
large crowd in Sloan Gallery
Monday night. He conducted a
lecture and workshop on the
various techniques used by
Gestalt therapists.
Gestalt therapy, according
lo Dr. Smith, relies on three
processes: the process of
Awareness. Response-ability
and Actuality.
The process of Awareness
is specifically a continuum of
the awareness of focused
attention, or "to discover what
is," explained Dr. Smith.
"They process of Response-ability is not the notion
of moral obligation," said Dr.
Smith, "but the ability to
make a response. To take
respcmsability for your actions
and feelings."
During the question and
answer period Dr. Smith went
into more detail about the
process of Response-ability.
He said, "Responsibility is
tough. It's a two-sided coin. If
you explore it you must give
up blaming the world. The
positive side, is the opening up
of a new world."
"At any moment I am
what I am," is Dr. Smith's
definition of the process of
Actuality. He went on to
explain by saying that the
issue is whether a person can
actualize what he is or actualize the image of what he
should be. He felt that a
person must actualize to himself what he is, not what he
should be or what he thinks

others think he should be.
Smith's definition of a
neurotic is a person who
wishes he were something
other than what he is. But a
person who believes he is
actually someone other than
what he is. is a psychotic.
"The healthy person," laughed Smith, is the one who says,
"i am what 1 am. I'm Popeye,
the Sailorman."
Around 1958 a glaring
headline was in a leading
psychology magazine saying
the normal person is leading a
life of "quiet depression, and
going through the motions of
living. The magazine further
stated that the normal person
was "boring himself to death"
and experiencing general dissatisfaction. Smith related to
the audience.
Around this time, encounter groups, sensitivity
training sessions and afloodof
popular movements started.
From this era came the phrase
"you don't have to be sick to
get better."
During the workshop, vol-

unteers were called on to
participate. The purpose was
to "learn about personality
functions and approaches to
personality functions, not to
put on a side show,"

commented Dr. Smith. He
went on to add that if someone
should cry as a volunteer . . .
they do so because there is an
energy with in their system to

Dewette, and Ms. Carol Eckman. Afterwards, by secret
ballot within the committee.

description as set by the
college administration. Within this description, which was
sent to 40 different private and
public placement agencies,
were the clear definitions of
the actual position, the requirements of that position,

and the duties of the position.
The vacancy calls for an

Education and Recreation."

Several reasons were given why the request was denied. One
reason was the potential noise level during frat parties and "the late

Fitzgerald, Hendershot honored....

Two b-ballers had noteworthy seasons
by GARY BRUBAKER
Staff Reporter
During the 1975-76 season
the Lock Haven basketball
team coached by Dick Taylor
and Brad Black, registered the
most victories by a Lock Haven
Cage team,(ll) in the last
twenty-seven years.
Two big reasons for the Bald
Eagles success in the rebuilding process of the basketball
program at LHS were Mike
Fitzgerald and Dave Hendershot. Their ability as well as
their importance to the team
was recognized by the Western Division coaches of the
Pennsylvania conference.
Each player received honorable mention on the AllPennsylvania conference
Western Division team, released March 23rd.
Hendershot led the Bald
Eagles in rebounding and
scoring at the forward posifion, averaging 13.1 points per
game and 6.8 per contest. The
Eagle sophomore earned the
"Most Efficient Eagle" award
eight times during the season
given for the best all-around
performance during a particular game.
Fitzgerald, also at forward
position for Coach Taylor, was
Lock Haven's second leading
scorer and rebounder, averaging 8.8 points per game and 5

rebounds. Fitzgerald, a junior
at LHS, captured the "Most
Efficient Eagle" award three
times and had the highest
efficiency rating for a particular game of any Eagle cager
during the course of the
season. Both Fitzgerald and
Hendershot played in all of
Lock Haven's twenty-three
games.
Fitzgerald attended Binghamton Central High School in
Binghamton, New York, and
led his high school basketball
team to respective records of
20-5 and 20-4 his junior and
senior years.
Hendershot played varsity
ball for Warren Hills Regional
High School in Washington,
New Jersey, and was a starter
during his sophomore through
senior year. His team posted
records of 17-9 and 18-8,
during his junior and senior
years.
Both players were recruited
by some big schools: Fitzgerald by Syracuse and Hendershot by Lafayette. Both
were recruited by Rice University in Texas.
They chose Lock Haven for
basically the same reason - a
chance to play.
"Coach Taylor had told me
that the basketball program at
LHS was weak and in a
rebuilding process," Fitzgerald remarked in an interview
last week, "I had chances to
go to bigger schools but
instead of possibly getting lost
in a big program, I felt I could
get a chance to play and be a
part of the program at Lock
Haven."
"Both coaches kept in touch
with me and told me the record
Lock Haven basketball teams
have had in the past, plus the
fact that LHS did not give
scholarships," added Hendershot. "But they showed a lot of
interest in me as I feel they do
all their recruits and that was
a big factor in my choosing
LHS. They do a heck of a
recruiting job." he reported.
"My friends from home that
go to big schools know maybe,
two dozen kids at most,"
added Hendershot. "Whereas, I feel I know probably half
of the kids on this campus.
There is definitely a bigger

difference between my freshman year at LHS and this year.
Two years ago there wasn't
much support at the games but
this year the crowd was really
behind us," said Hendershot.
"I definitely enjoy a smaller
school," remarked Fitzgerald.
"You get to know a lot of
people and it was a lot easier
to psyche myself up for a home
ganle rather than one on the
road because I knew alot of
my friends would be watching," he added.
Both players considered it a
great honor to have been
chosen for the all-star team
and feel that it's a sign of good
things to come for the Bald
Eagles next season.
Hendershot feels that his
and Fitzgerald's presence on
the all-star team is a sign that
the basketball program here at
LHS is picking up.
"My freshman year here the
majority of our opponents
thought we would be an easy
win and some of the guys on
the good teams like Edinboro
and Clarion would come up to
you after a game and shake
hands and that would be it,"
stated Hendershot.
"This year we really gave
some of those teams a battle
and following the game they'd
come up to you and tell you
that you played a good game
and that you really gave them
a scare. It made me feel good
to know ihat we were making
our presence felt around the
league and that we were no
longer counted as a win on
some team's schedule before
the season had even started,"
Hendershot reported.
An integral part of any team
is the coftching and both
Fitzgerald and Hendershot
hold great respect for Coach
Taylor.
"He's one of the best
coaches I've ever seen," stated Hendershot. "He knows
more about the game than
most coaches do," he said.
"He helped me a lot,
especially on defense," Fitzgerald added. "I learned a lot
about the game from him.
He's a very good teacher.
Some coaches know a lot but
have a hard time getting it
across. Coach Taylor puts his

Dave Hendershot
points across very well," he
added.
When asked his feelings
concerning Fitzgerald and
Hendershot, Coach Tayk)r
commented, "They both deserved the credit they received
from the coaches in our own
division."
"Hendershot was our most
consistent player this year.
He's come on very strong and
done very well for a young
player. There are a couple
areas he needs to work on in
order to become the complete
player I know he's capable of
becoming," reported Coach
Taylor.
"Fitzgerald played some
tremendous ballgames for us
this season," added Coach
Taylor. "He's very aggressive, going to the boards for
rebounds, and in going to the
basket on the drive. When he
was super- he was super. But
he's got to become, a little
more consistent with his
game." he said.
Western Division stats
showed Hendershot finishing
tenth in scoring, averaging
12.6 points per game while
Fitzgerald averaged" 10.1
points per contest and was
ranked fourteenth.
Hendershot was also ranked
in th-e rebounding department,
garnering 60 in ten games and
finishing tenth in the standings.
"This season the players got

methodology." As head footbball coach, the job would entail
the "recruiting organization,
and development of a competitive inter-collegiate football
program in Division III."
The Search Committee accepted applications until
March 28, a period of 60 days.
"Wc have had some super
candidates apply for the job."
related Dr. Cox yesterday.
"We will probably have the
field narrowed down lo the
best six to ten applicants by
the end of this week," he said.
There are now 20 prospective uiid hopefuls on the
committees list. When the list
is fiiialh trimmed, the prospects wil! be brought to the
campus for interviews and
tours, Cox reported.
The names and credentials
of the candidates are being
held confidential by the committee, and for a good reason.
"At this stage, we cannot
reveal names because it could
harm that person in his
present job," Cox said.
When the final decision is
made by the committee on the
last few applications, they will
be sent, one at a time, to the
college president, Francis
Hamblin. It is Hamblin vvho
will make the ultimate decision.
"The final choice rests with
the college president," Cox
revealed. "We, (the committee), will send him the applications in the priority that the
committee decided upon, but
he makes the full decision,"
he added.
The process for choosing the
person to fill the vacancy is
done under the guidelines of
APSCUF. "This is one of the
most democrafic processes
anyone could use to select an
applicant. If the American
government was run like this,
we wouldn't have any problems," Cox said with a smile.
