Faculty Votes For Agent
Undei Pennsylvania Stale; Legislature
Act 195 permitting collective bargaining for
public employees, the faculties of the 14
state-owned colleges are presently engaged
in selecting their bargaining agent. Today
the 4,100 teachers of these institutions will
vote for their statewide representative. On
the ballot will be four choices — the American Association of University Professors,
the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University F a c u l t i e s , the American
Federation of T e a c h e r s , and a category for
" n o representation." From all the votes
cast on the 14 campuses, the one organization chosen by majority vote will represent
the collective faculty.
At LHS, faculty factions have been promoting among their collegues the merits of
two particular organizations - AAUP and
APSCUF.
AAUP is a 56-year-old national organization which last year established the Pennsylvania State Council of State College
Faculties as their bargaining unit. Traditionally AAUP has promoted academic freedom and has been especially effective in
preserving rights and protection for college
and university administrations.'^ Recently
entering the area of collective bargaining
this organization a l s o seeks higher salaries,
uniform tenure laws, and due process. Presently the Pennsylvania State college s y s tem salaries rank very low in relation to
neighboring s t a t e s .
APSCUF is a Pennsylvania organization affiliated since last winter with the
Pennsylvania Association of Higher Education, a member of the Pennsylvania State
Education Association. APSCUF has been
involved for over 20 years with matters affecting higher education in Pennsylvania
While not de-emphasizing academic freedom,
APSCUF is primarily concerned with an
improved salary schedule, tenure, and fringe
benefits such as sick leave, retirement,
hospitalization, and faculty leave.
Both organizations claim that collective
bargaining will be beneficial to the state
college system. At this time, the system is
under considerable financial pressure due
to large budget allocations to the state-related universities and the community colleges.
Under the new Master Plan for Education in
Pennsylvania, private colleges and universities will be an additional drain on the
resources of the state colleges.

It is felt that through collective bargaining, the state college system can be upgraded, can receive a proper share of the
state educational budget, and can secure
protection of rights for state college teaching personnel. Collective bargaining will
also tend to regulate procedures in all 14
state colleges. Indirectly, students will
benefit from this situation since conceivably
present tuitions and fees could be maintained or lowered and the quality of individual colleges can be improved. Adversely,
it is possible that many faculty functions
will be replaced by the bargaining agent
thus eliminating the limited student participation in those functions.
Dr. William Reich, local representative
to the Pennsylvania State Council of AAUP,
and Mrs. Margaret Neilson, President of the
local AAUP chapter, pointed out that AAUP
is an organization especially created for
college professors and as such will be totally committed to matters concerning higher
education. A A U P is concerned with academic
excellence, and many improvements of college campuses, such as the faculty Senate,
have been sponsered by AAUP. This organization upholds the right of faculty to participate in political activity (AAUP is currently
defending Angela Davis). In the spring ot*
1970 AAUP put out guidelines for student
rights and responsibilities, favoring student
involvement in college governing bodies.
It upholds the rights of women on college
and university faculties, and favors maintaining the existing faculty position with
the governing body. Mrs. Neilson feels that
another of AAUP's strong points is caution
against acting too hastily in vital i s s u e s .
Local President Dr. Daniel Showan and
William Powell, speaking for APSCUF, feel
that the affiliation with PSEA gives their
organization more power with which to represent college prolessors. It claims more
experience in matters concerning collective
bargaining and an effective existing lobby
in Harrisburg with the resources to promote
their programs. APSCUF was instrumental
in writing and lobbying for Act 1 3 , which
would give local autonomy to individual
state colleges. Because collective bargaining will result in a master contract for all
14 state colleges. Dr. Showan feels that the
issue of academic freedom will resolve itself through the protective terms of this
all-inclusive contract.

At

LH

The following is an interview with James K. Smalley,
Assistant Dean of Men and current Dean of Men.
QUESTION: As far as the Dean of Men's Office is concerned,
what is the most serious or most frequently encountered prolem you have?
ANSWER: Well, any prohiem we have is serious to the student
involved. Broadly speaking, however, our most serious concern
IS that the campus community has a false impression as to
what the Dean of Men's job really is. It seems as though both
students and faculty see us as the campus disciplinarians.
We
are supposed to keep men students in line. In effect, we are
viewed as campus "super cops" and in cases of studeni misconduct we are seen as pioliccman, prosecuting attorney, judge
and jury. This, is an unfair image because the majority of our
work with men students is generally not related to problems of
misconduct.
QUESTION: How did your role us "super c o p " evolve? Surely
there must have been some basis for that image.
ANSWER: .you're right. You see, traditionally the Dean of Men
was a heavy-fisted
strict disciplinarian.
That rale evolved
over many years and had its roots m the loco parentis concept
which held that college officials should control or regulate the
behavior of students in the absence of their parents. Thus, the
regulation and control of men students was put into the hands
of r strict male faculty member who was given the title ot Dean
of Men.
QUESTION: Many responsible students here at Lock Haven
honestly feel that the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women are
still disciplinarians and are afraid of them. You have said that
you are not a "super c o p " , but in many instances you really
are one. Do you a g r e e
ANSWER: Unfortunately, you are right to an extent.
However,
much of the fault for our situation here at Lock Haven State
rests partly on the shoulders of our strdent body. Now, let me
explain that point if I may. You see, last year the Deans initiated an honest effort to assist student-^ in 'i^e development of
a studeni judiciary system which would have the major responsibility of handling cases of student misconduct. Such a system
would have resulted in peer group justice—not
justice determined by the Deans. Unfortunately,
the Student
Cooperative
Council objected to portions of the judiciary system
developed
by Dean Cornelius and a student committee. As a result the
whole document was rejected by the SCC. At that point Dr.
John Bone, the Dean of Student Affairs, requested that the SCC
leaders develop a different document acceptable to both the
College and the students.
This was done and two meetings
with sludent leaders and personnel deans in attendance were
held. Definite progress was made at bath meetings.
Unfortunately, the students apparently lost interest and failed to call
any additional conferences and the question was dropped. As
it now stands we are no closer to a student court setup than we
were two years ago. Out of necessity the personnel deans contimue in some instances to handle discipline
problems.
QUESTION; Do you mean that students could have a judicial
system to determine their own guilt or innocence if they were
willing to develop a court system?
ANSWER: Yes, the personnel deans favor such a system over
the current one and without question would be willing to assist
students in working toward the goal. I should point out that the
women students already have a functioning court system in
their residence
halls.
QUESTION: Do other state colleges have student courts?

Plans Begun For
Two Buildings
Plans have been scheduled
for construction on two new LHS
projects: a Fine Arts building,
and a new g i r l s ' dormitory. Bids
have been made and accepted for
the girls' dorm. It is to be built
on the hill. However, definite
construction plans may not be
made unlil after the bid has been
thoroughly checked for all due
specifications.
Bidding for the Fine /\rts
building has also been held, but
It has been found thai the.money
allocated to LHS for the project
cannot cover any of the b i d s .

i s , however, being held up by
legal
complicaiions,
until
a
meeting on Octobijr 11.

ANSWER: Yes, as a matter of fact I think that Lock Haven is
the only state college that does not.
QUESTION: Do such courts have the power to have a student
expelled from college?
ANSWER: No. Only the college president can do that. However,
there is nothing to prevent a student court from recommending
that a college man or woman be separated from the college.
QUESTION: How long would it take to develop a student court
here at LHS?
ANSWER: That would depend on how actively student
leaders
worked on the project. Certainly it shouldn't lake more than a
semester.
QUESTION: How would such a sysiem change the job of the
Dean of Men?
ANSWER: Certainly il would improve our public relations. More
importantly, however, it would free us to. do what we werehired
to do-—counseling young men so that they might make a more
satisfactory adjustment to college life.

RAP CORNER
by R. Austin
As a black student currently attending Lock Haven
Slate College and more than
concerned aboul the now and
later welfare of black students
at this illustrious institution, I
find il undul\ necessary to make
comment in regard to the seemingl\ lacking admission policy
of this college. I sav lacking bec a u s e It appears to be a policy
dcvtiid (*f any real attempts to
increase black enrollment al this
college. Although being a state
supported institution, l.HS is
well below the black-while r a ' i o
nf state and federal funded schools, and al the present, I have
witnessed no sincere effort to
remedv the situation.
UndouDltedy one of the foremost reasons for Lock Haven's
pitifully low black enrollment is
it's unattracliveness to potential
black applicants. First of all, a
glance through the General Catalogue for 1970-1972 will reveal
a curricula that is devoid of any
significant black courses or curriculum. Not only is such a curricula unfair to students both
black and white, bul il is one
that has become definitely outmoded. A curricula that ignores
the existence of a people on
whose back this country has
rested is undoubtedly one conceived of extreme naivety or
racism. Secondly, with the exception of a Black Student Union, lo the would-be black applicant, LHS poses nothing
short of a lily-while institution.
There are no other social organizations that constitute a reasonable black membership. This
complements the fact that there
are not enough black students,
and basic logic a s s e r t s that you
need first the studenls, then the
organization. Since a well rounded college education c o n s i s t s of
a healthv social life a s well a s
an
adequate academic
one,
something musl be done to remedy the sorrid social atmosphere at LHS for black students. Al present the black boygirl ratio is 2-1 respectively,
hardly my idea of an ideal social
atmosphere.
It would indeed be simple
and equally tiring to cite example upon example illustrating
Lock Haven's lack of attraction
to the would-be black applicant;
however, I feel that tne point
has been exemplified enough lo
let us know that it is high time
something be done.
