Lock Haven University
Community board to improve 'Town and Gown* relations
Lock Haven University and tiie city of
Lock Haven have formed a Community Advisory Board to review community concons
such as campus parking and student housing.
The board, which meets twice a montii, is
co-chaired by tiie University's Associate
Dean of Students Timothy Susick and City
Plarmer Sue Stover.
"Over the years, the University has made
several initiatives to enhance 'town and
gown' relations . Many, including this
week's Ice Cream Social, have been extremely successful, but we felt we needed to
do more," said Susick. "I feel good about
the advisory council. It is manned by individuals from botii factions who care about
the issues."
Along with Susick, the University is represented by Robert Lynch, assistant to the
pn-esident and affirmative action officer; Maribetii Hanna-Long, department of student
services; Richard Hepner, director of Law
Enforcement and Safety.
The city advisors are Stover, Lock Haven
Mayor Diane Stemple, Chief of I^)lice Joe
Sanders, Code Enforcement Officer Dave
Roming.
Wes Grand rep-esents the Clinton County
Chamber of Commerce.
Boardmembers are currentiy working to
improve relations between local residents
and neighboring fratemity houses. "We
have encouraged the fratemities to fix up
their houses and to have them inspected by
tiie city code enforcement officer, said Susick.
Roming explained that he inspects the fratemity houses heating, electrical and plnmlum-
ing systems to ensure they comply witii the
city's public safety codes.
"Witii our guidance, the Alpha Chi Rho
brothers totally renovated their house on
West Main Stteet," said Roming. "To date,
the city has not had one complaintfitimtheir
neighbors."
He added, "That fratnnity house will
serve as the model for all off-campus housing."
Eventually, the advisory council would
like to see all off-campus housing inspected.
One of its initiatives is to compile a listing
of code-improved student housing.
"The names of landlords who pass a volunteer inspection would be presented to students seeking off-campus housing," Susick
said.
A recent advisory council survey in-
dicated diat the stiident body favors such a
list. Close to seventy-five percent of tiiose
surveyed said they would use the list to find
suitable housing.
The survey also reaffirmed the University's parking problem.
"Since there is limited parking, only those
on-campus students witii 48 or more credits
are issued a decal to park on campus," explained Susick. "Many of these students are,
in tum, parking in residential areas."
He said, "The University will be expanding parking with the Parson's Union
Building renovations and investigating the
possibility of expanding on-campus parking
in other areas."
The Community Advisory Board will continue to function through the coming academic year, addressing common concems.
Upward Bound offers youths college experience
By Susan Barnhart
Eagle Eye Reporter
This year marks the twenty fifth anniversary of Upward Bound. Upward
Bound is a f«lerally funded program
which helps high school students make
the decision to go to college.
Upward Bound was established imder the
Johnson admiiustiation's War on Poverty
in 1965. Upward Bound and Head Start,
another federally funded program aimed
at preparing yotmg children for school,
are the only two programs of the Johnson
admiiustration which still function yet today.
The purpose of Upward Boimd is to enhance tiie student's academic, social, and
cultural skills. Moreover, it encourages
students to realize their abilities and to
continue their education after high school.
The use of career workshops, study skills
courses, and tutors helps high school students improve their academic performance and plan for the future.
There are two parts to the Upward Bound
program; one program is held during the
academic year and another program runs
for five weeks during the summer. During the academic year. Upward Bound
works with 75 students from three
counties in the local area, including these
five high schools: Lock Haven, Jasey
Shore, Renovo, WiUiamsport, and Northem Potter County.
Each high school has guidance counselors who conduct tiie program for that
particular school. In the high schools, the
Upward Bound program helps students
with improving their study sloUs, raising
their grades, and choosing career goals.
Lock Haven University works with 50
Upward Bound students during the summer months. The students receive a
chance to experience the college environment while they are sdll in high school.

Several cultural trips are also planned for
this summer sessirai. The students attend
several plays at the Millbrook Playhouse
and will be going on a U-ip to Piusburgh

of the session an awards banquet is held to
honor the top achievers in both academic
subjects and sports. The whole emphasis
