Health
Educators
Demonstrate

Religion-In-Life
Week Includes
Presentation

The Department of Health
and Physical Education of Lock
Haven State College will present its bi-annual demonstration on Thursday and Friday,
March 19 and 20. The theme
of this y e a r ' s program is " P h y s ical Education Strengthens the
Nation."
The demonstration, w h i c h
was first started in 1948, serves
a three-fold purpose. "Through
it the department wishes to advertise to the general public,
high-school students, and personnel the type of activities in
which Lock Haven students are
trained. The demonstration offers future t e a c h e r s a chance to
train in organization and running of s u c h demonstrations
through practical experience
rather than lecturing. During
the p r o g r a m , the staff sits with
the audience and lets the students run the demonstration on
their own. A third purpose of
the demonstration is to show
as m a n y features of the winter
p r o g r a m as possible.
Students wishing to attend
the demonstration will be admitted by their activity c a r d s
and faculty and staff will be
given tickets. There will be a n
advance ticket sale for others
who wish to attend, but there
a r e no reserve seats available.
Cost of admission will be 50c
for adults and 25c for students.
Students are urged to attend
the demonstration on the first
night of its performance.

The focus of a week's activities centered around the theme
of Religion in Life will be the
presentation of a r e l i g i o u s
d r a m a by the College P l a y e r s .
The d r a m a is being presented
under the joint sponsorship of
the Newman Club and the Student Christian Association.
Christ in a Concrete World,
was written by a young Anglican priest, P. W. Turner. It is
regarded as the most popular
religious play of our times by
most d r a m a critics. The d r a m a
is presented on a b a r e stage
with intrical lighting effects. It
is a combination of acting and
choral reading with the characters portraying b o t h present
day people and historical Biblical c h a r a c t e r s . T h e s e s a m e
c h a r a c t e r s take part in the
choral readings. The a u t h o r
sets before a group of people
typical of today's church congregations the passion of Christ
and shows us how various people react to the situation.
Linda Wilson, junior English
major, is directing the play.
She has been active in college
d r a m a t i c productions for the
past two years. The cast consists of Linda Swelgin, Ginny
Weaver, Walt Lebda, John Corson, Tom O'Brian, and John
Yetter.
All a r e urged to attend this
presentation following w h i c h
will be a discussion period on
the topic of religious d r a m a for
a l l interested. Refreshments
will be served to those attending.
Through this program, and
others throughout the week, the
N e w m a n Club and the Student
Christian Association wishes to
show us the part which religion
plays in our lives.

SCC'S PLATFORM
1. The college radio station
We believe there is enough
interest on campus to organize
a radio club a s a chartered and
subsidized SCC organization to
bring into existence a closed
circuit radio station such as is
now in existence a t Edinboro
State College. Some correspondence with Edinboro h a s been
placed in the SCC files.
2. More campus parking for
students
This is a perennial problem
and one which the Parking and
Traffic Committee should be
working on "tooth and n a i l " at
all times. P e r h a p s the committee might be called upon to develop a plan for increasing the
parking space for students even
though it m i g h t entail the
charging of a nominal parking
fee.
3. Appointment of a s t u d e n t
Planning Committee for the
new Student Union Building
We feel that it is desirable for
students to have a hand in the
planning of the facilities that
will be incorporated in the new
Student Union Building. A continuing committee should be appointed next year which can
work with Dr. Parsons and the
college administration in the
planning of this new facility. .
4. Library hours
This should be a continuing
job for the Library Committee.
The college library is now open
50 hours per week, whereas at
some colleges libraries a r e open
considerably longer even to a
m a x i m u m of 90 hours. There is
a question of adequacy.
5. Secure a traffic light at the
corner of College Street, West
Main, Susquehanna Avenue,
and North Fairview
The need for this safety equipment is self-evident.
6. Sponsoring of a foreign student
Student government groups in
several of our state colleges
have sponsored and obtained
financial help for a student from
a foreign country.

Funtastic

Night
E n t e r t a i n m e n t galore will be
the keynote of this year's Funtastic Night sponsored by The
World University S e r v i c e s
( W . U . S . ) . Funtastic Night is
March 9, 1964, and will be held
in Thomas Field House.
A small admission fee of ten
cents, the tenth part of a dollar, will be charged. It will be
a n evening full of activity with
such stellar events as a basketball game between the wom e n ' s varsity team and the
m a l e faculty t e a m , a Cake
Walk, White Elephant Sale, and
various booth games sponsored
by organizations on campus.

The Dance Band will play and
there will be folk singing and
a comedy skit.
Every organization on c a m pus is being invited to set up a
booth. There will be a small
charge at each booth.
Dormitory girls have extended hours provided that their
dates pay a penny for each
minute of the extra half-hour
that they use.
The money collected will be
used by W. U. S. to help students in foreign countries get
an education. The money will
be used to build colleges for
the students of Africa, Korea,
and many other countries.
If you're down in the d u m p s ,
and your light is not bright,
come join in the fun at W. U. S.
Funtastic Night.
Our antics will bring a laugh
and a smile, while we help to
support a cause that's worthwhile.
While you're having fun, you
will be helping someone to the
opportunity of knowledge, which
otherwise might not come.
You couldn't give to a better
cause than W. U. S. and have
as much fun as you wDl at Funtastic Night. Please heed the
plea of so many W. U. S. supporters, "Help others to help
themselves."

Editor

Dear Editor:
It must be more than coincidental that the last edition of
this newspaper contained a n
unidentified person's attack on
rumor-mongering at this institution of academic excellence;
it does appear that some people on this campus have refused to spread the silly results
of the apparent boredom and
general lassitude of their peers.
While I congratulate these
honest and somewhat unusual
Lock Haven students who have
had the courage to laugh at the
laughable, even when created
by their fellow students, I must
now stoop to answer and quiet
one of the more noxious of
these r u m o r s with winged if
' muddied feet.
It has come to m y attention
that several students report
hearing me deliver a tirade
against Dr. Handley's recent
production of Ten Little Indians.
What they heard or, more honestly, over-heard was my candid opinion of the play, which
I hold is a poor, relatively juvenile, intellectually and emotionally enervating who-dun-it,
a play with no pretensions a t
being " d r a m a " as the t e r m h a s
been accepted in the days of
Aristotle, Shakespeare, or the
very early Tennessee Williams.
In the vernacular, " I t don't
swing!"
I ' m willing, of course, to discuss m y particular aesthetic
with any student or faculty
m e m b e r , e v e n the ungentlemanly, or unladylike, students
who filled their after-school
hours with eaves-dropping and
scandal-seeking. Let m e repeat
the praise in public that I delivered in private to J i m Salmond and others in the cast for
their performances.
It's of course, a shame to
have to waste time and energy
erasing any rumor, but like m y
dear friend Holden, I would
like a chance to erase all the
dirty words from all the walls
of all the subway stations, and
dormitories, of the world. And
Lock Haven, as you must know,
might tax even Holden's plucky
little heart.
One last, probably unnecessary, observation: there is no
room for scandal in the spirit
of the really m a t u r e person.
The soul at peace with its world
does not try to s m e a r any p a r t
of it with offal. For the soul at
peace, you see, even offal isn't
awful.
Thank you for this opportunity
to try to clean a wall.
Robert H. Solomon,
Assistant Professor, Eng.
EDITOR'S NOTE . . .
An editor's duties includes
the consideration of any general or public problem concerning t h e publication and its
readers. The a b o v e letter
makes reference to an editorial
which appeared in the February 21 issue of the Eagle Eye,
concerning gossip in the campus community.
This semester, the Eagle Eye
has attempted to commend,
rather than condemn. We h a v e
not attempted, through editotrials, news or features to create an infallible college community for fallible college students. We do not feel that this
is possible, nor do we feel that
this is our duty. We too are college students. We do feel that
we have m a d e a sincere effort
to reason w i t h our readers,
whom we regard as friends to
inform and entertain, rather
than morons to bamboozle. We
appreciate and w e l c o m e all
comments for or against the
Eagle Eye.

D e a r Editor:
Too often when someone does
something good, he is the last
person to hear about it. All he
ever hears is the bad things
people say. I vifould like to say,
in writing, something good, not
about a single person, but many
persons.
As a participant and a spectator of Feb. 26th's Sports Night,
I would like to congratulate all
who were there for making it a
complete success.
The sportsmanship w a s excellent, not only among team
m e m b e r s , but also between the
two individual t e a m s . It didn't
m a t t e r if you were a Freshm a n , Sophomore, Junior or Senoir; a Phys. Ed., Elementary,
Liberal Arts, or Secondary maj o r ; a sorority girl or a n independent. All girls worked together for the good of their
t e a m , but especially for the
spirit of the fun.
I think Marti Westaby, as
over-all chairman, and Anita
Zarembo and Linda Ritchy, as
t e a m captains, deserve congratulations for a job well done,
and I am looking forward to a
co-ed Sports Night next year.

D e a r Editor:
It is very important t h a t as
students and future t e a c h e r s we
begin to take on some degree
of sophistication. This college
does not desire to have students
who are individuals or that
think for themselves, because it
it much easier to have the administration think for you.
It has come to my attention
that this coUege loses about
$11,000 a year on stolen books.
"The library will not employ
m o r e people because it says
that they can not afford the
money. What would we need the
extra employees to do? They
would go and get books for you
because the "stacks would be
closed." This college has in the
past not read the writing on
the wall; two riots. The writing on the wall says we need
closed stacks so let's r e a d what
it s a y s and do something about
the situation. It would save the
college money, would add some
sophistication to the campus,
and help us to become the type
of professionals that will give
our profession increased status.
We have to start somewhere to
m a k e this campus a " t r u e " college. "Let's start by closing the
stacks."
Everyone who is an S. C. C.
representative, I would ask you
to look into this situation, get
your group's opinion, and get
the S. C. C. to vote that the
stacks will be closed. It is your
college, you c a n correct its
faults and shortcomings. Once
you get the stacks closed you
will spend less time looking for
books, and the books you want,

SCIENCE SNIFFLES
Well, students, have you taken a close look at our science
building lately? It's been just
bubbling with activity.
Take the entrance-way for
example. The Chemistry Department h a s joined the big
league. Car league t h a t is. It
seems as if it's time for their
new model to come out and
they're telling everyone about
it. With all that advanced ad-

vertising in the display case,

What Happened to Nature^s Cabin?
by MEL HODES
On LHSC owned property, a
quarter of a mile from the main
campus, once stood an example
of vanishing " A m e r i c a n a . " This
college landmark, aptly called
" N a t u r e ' s Cabin" was a log,
adobe, and mountain s t o n e
structure nestled serenely in
the foothills, surrounded by a
scene of n a t u r a l woodland
beauty. WHAT H A P P E N E D TO
NATURE'S CABIN?
About 1938 a Naturalist Club
flourished on our campus. This
club was active here until approximately 1956. In 1938, The
Naturalist Club had, as one of
its projects, t h e placing of
benches throughout campus and
on the c a m p u s trail from the
tennis courts to the far western
extension of College land about
a quarter of a mile from campus.
At this same time, a local
organization donated a l o g ,
adobe, and mountain s t o n e
cabin to the very active club.
The cabin was located on Bak e r ' s Run between Lock Haven
and Renovo. Members of the
Naturalist Club thought that a
great deal of benefit could be
derived from the cabin if it
were on c a m p u s . As a consequence, in that year, the club
moved the entire cabin, pieceby-piece, to the far western
parcel of land owned by the
College. The y e a r s 1938 to 1940
saw much improvement on the
campus on the site of that parcel of property. The b e n c h
marked trail from the cabin

This is " N a t u r e ' s Cabin" as it looks today. The once rustic
looking log, adobe, and mountain stone cabin, which was nestled
amidst nature's foliage at t h e base of a ravine at the far w e s t e r n
extension of campus, is no more. All that remains today of this,

cabin's caved-in roof.

became known as " N a t u r e ' s
Trail." The "Naturalist or Nature's Cabin" was at the western end of that trail. The trail
and cabin were a retreat for
students, faculty, and administration m e m b e r s who wished to
take in n a t u r e ' s placid beauty.
The cabin and the trail were
used in the ensuing years by
science majors in their study
of nature, by the Health Educ a t i o n Department for the
teaching of the Camp Counciling course, by the Naturalist
Club, and by various other organizations for outings, meetings, and picnics. During the
Second World War, naval cadets attended LHSC. The Happy Hour for these cadets w a s
by
held at " N a t u r e ' s Cabin."

BRAVO•

This time t h e y p l a y e d at
Bloomsburg. The final score
was L o c k H a v e n : 42 a n d
Bloomsburg: 41. It was not the
easy defeat that had been experienced by our t e a m only a
few days before. The quarter
scores tell the story.
At the end of the first quarter the score was Bloomsburg:
11 and Lock Haven: 10; at the
end of the second—Bloomsburg
17, Lock Haven 24. The third
q u a r t e r score was Bloomsburg:
33 and Lock Haven: 32. The
final s c o r e—Bloomsburg: 41
and Lock Haven: 42. The winning basket was m a d e by the
t e a m captain. Chip Lauver, in
the final 30 seconds of a most
exciting g a m e .
On the 20th of last month the
t e a m was at home again playing P e n n State. The final score
was 66-25. This w a s an easily
acquired victory for the girls,
Cathy C l e m e n s a n d Chip
L a u v e r had final score tallies
of 24 points each. Sue Harley
and Arlea Howeter scored 6
each. Sue Peters finished with
5 a n d Betty Gommei had 1.
The Junior Varsity t e a m has
an undefeated 3-0 record. They
w e r e victorious over Bloomsburg, 46-14 and 42-15. They defeated Penn State 58-19. Sharon
Taylor, J u d y Miller, Cindy
Howard, and Linda Detra have
been providing the scoring power for the J. V.'s.
On Saturday, F e b r u a r y 22,
the women's basketball t e a m
traveled to Shippensburg. In a
very exciting contest, the girls
w e r e victorious, the final score
being: Lock Haven—40 and
Shippensburg—36.
High scorers were Cathy
Clemens with 17 and Chip Lauver with 15. Other girls who
m a d e the boards w e r e : Betty
Gommei—5, Sue Harley and
Sue Peters both having 2.
This was one of the closest
g a m e s that t h e girls have
played this season. The victory
was guaranteed by a freeze in
the final minute and twenty
seconds of the game.
One of the main reasons for
the trouble caused by the Shippensburg t e a m was a girl
n a m e d Z i m m e r m a n who totaled
23 points. She and her teamm a t e s m a d e this one of the
toughest g a m e s of the season.
The following Tuesday, the
t e a m traveled to Gettysburg for
another exciting game. The
girls faced a Gettysburg t e a m
which had a previous record of

2-2. They lost to Muhlenburg
and to Shippensburg. The quarter scores tell of the trouble
caused by the Gettysburg t e a m .
The final score in the first quarter w a s Lock Haven: 9 to Gettysburg: 14. The second quarter total r e a d Lock H a v e n : 15
to Gettysburg: 23 and the third
quarter score was Lock Haven:
27 to Gettysburg 28.
In the third and fourth quart e r s the Lock Haven t e a m
m a d e a comeback and scored
a total of 27 points to Gettysburg's total of 6. The m a i n edge
that Gettysburg had over our
t e a m was that of height.
The final score was Lock Haven: 42 and Gettysburg: 29.
The high scorers for the game
were Cathy Clemens with 17
points and Sue Peters with 15.
Other scorers w e r e : Chip Lauver with 10, and Sue Harley
with 1.
Mention must be made of the
fine job that is being done by
the girls who play the guard
position for t h e team. Betty
Gommei. Loraine A l b r e t c h ,
Bonnie Bitzer, and Ann Linsday
have done an excellent job. The
varsity and the junior varsity
t e a m s both remain undefeated.

Bloomsburg's Huskies under
the tutorship of Russ Houk
copped another State College
Conference Championship last
Saturday night at Bloomsburg.

the State Champions. F o r Lock
Haven State, captain F r e d Powell won the 130 pound crown as
he continued to prove why he is
ranked third in the country at
130. Bill Blacksmith, went at
Dick Scorese again, for the 147
pound title. Roger Cook copped
the 167 pound title, and J e r r y
Swope the 177 pound championship.
F r e d Powell, a Senior as is
Roger Cook will long be rem e m b e r e d by Bloomsburg fans.
F r e d has been a t h o r n e in

this year w a s no exception.
We m a y now l o o k to the

to beat. Southern Illinois will
provide much competition, but
we at the Eagle Eye predict a

IN THE

EAGLE'S NEST
by JIM SALMOND, Sports Editor
Women's Basketball has certainly been causing quite a stir.
So far this y e a r the eaglettes
have clobbered all c o m e r s .
Some of the scores might prove
the point, 40-17 against Juniata;
58-19 against Susquehanna; 5326 facing Bloomsburg; and a
most impressive 66-25 against
Penn State. Cathy Clemens and
Chip Lauver have been tearing
opponents nets, which has m a d e
for a perfect record. Congratulations go out to Coach Charlotte Smith and the squad.
Another team that should be
watched is the swimming t e a m
under the auspices of Coach
Harold Hacker. Losing o n l y
two m e e t s thus far, the frogmen seem to be coming on
strong and we a r e looking forward to the Penn-Ohio's and
the State College Conference
meet tomorrow March 7 and 14.
Coach Stan Daley must be
complimented for his fine efforts this year. It is rough to
loose standouts like Joe P a s cale a n d Lou DiSorbo. The
m e m b e r s on the t e a m such a s
Max Rinker, Ken Saupp, Paul
Lenihan, Tom Lewis, B r i a n
Coleman, Bruce Darrow, Doug
Graybill, P a t Hepinger, Gary
Klingensmith h a v e given their
best. They are for the most part
a young team. Thus we should
be able to look forward to the
coming seasons with enthusiasm.
Most of us heard or watched
the Sonny Liston-Cassius Clay
fight. It w a s astounding to see
Listen remain in his corner
after the seventh round. We
m a y be glad that the "Louis-

ville L i p " won the fight, as Clay
has an effervescent personality;
quick witted, outspoken, a n d
very humorous. He has captured the admiration of many.
He nearly predicted the round
again as he did so many times
before. But the boxing world is
strange. Those acquainted with
it know that a degree of corruption and graft exist. To deny
this is foolish, and it has hurt
the boxing world to such a degree that it m a y never recover.
The Liston-Clay fight had several peculiar circumstances to
it. Liston m a y have very well
been hurt. It is further possible
that this injury incapacitated
him from the beginning. Previous to the weigh in, Liston
ranged from an 8-1 to a 10-1
favorite. With less t h a n one
hour remaining until fight time,
Liston fell to a 4-1 choice, indicating that one of two things
happened. First that the "fight
e x p e r t s " heard of Listen's injury thus shifting the balance;
or secondly, that some heavy
wagering occurred to bring the
odds down. These possibilities
do not include the chance that
the fight was "fixed."
After last week's State College Tournament at Bloomsburg and the tremendous effort
against Bloom in the dual meet,
we a r e looking forward to the
NAIA tournament next weekend
at Spearfish, S. D. and then the
NCAA tournament a t Cornell
University on March 20-21. We
a r e looking for some fine action
at both tournaments, along with
a NAIA title. Good luck to Hub,
Coach Beaver and the team.
