"Passing Through," a
musical theatre production
written for Lock Haven State
students by professor Larry
Lebin begins performances
tonight and will continue
through Saturday, April 26.
Tonight's preview showing
is limited to invitation only,
but starting Wednesday all
performances will be open to
the public.
"Passing Through" was
born last April after its writer
Larry Lebin saw a play which
had been written around the
actors. Lebin's play was
originally intended to be a
one-act production for just
two LHS students, Susan
Jackson and Katie Bourne.
However as time passed the
playwright realized that there
were a number of LHS students
who wanted to participate in
a theatre production but hadn't
the opportunity to do so
"passing Through" was expanded.
No auditions as one
might normally think of took
place. Anyone who wanted
to participate in the production
is, although several students
have dropped out for various
reasons.
Last
November Mrs.
Shirley Lebin, wife of the
playwright, began the musical
lyrics. Rehearsals were also
started at this time with the
idea to construct something
as close as possible to a
small
theatre
in Rogers
Gymnasium.
Lebin is the show's
producer, with Pat Ciambella
directing. Celeste Rhodes is
choreographer, Shirley Lebin
the composer and musical
director, and Robert Stiver,
Leslie Payne, and Garry
Mazzu sharing the bill »s
technical directors, David
Heverly is the show's business

manager.
Michele Perry serves as
stage manager, and the production will feature the talents
of
performing
muscians
Shirley Lebin, Sue Krum,
Li;nny Wall, Muty Wilson.

Lisa Byrd, Steve Hughes and
Joe Euclano. Diane McKenzie
is in charge of costumes.
Principles in the production are Susan Jackson,
Katie Bourne, Howie Freiburg

EAOLE EYE

I Creative energies abound
Af o time when the majority of the student population
is caught in the end of semester academic crunch, the
creative energies alive on campus have not been filed
away. Students who participated in last week's "Operation
Takeover" of WBPZ's FM station os well as those working
on the "Passing Through" musical production have sacrificed countless hours - some to put together a week of
varied radio programming, others in labor to take an original play from the planning stages to the polished show on
stage in Roger's tonight. A few students have, and unbelievably so, taken part in both projects.
The Applied Journalism class tackled the major task
of providing programming 8:00 - 11:00 for seven days. Many
hours were spent contemplating ideas to develop a schedule filled with something to please everyone. The wide
variety of programs, which ranged from interviews to every
kind of music imaginable, represented some fine potential
in show planning and coordination. This successful experiment certainly makes the idea of a radio station more
realistic.
Similarly, hours of preparation have been put into an
original music production. This week's performances of
"Passing Through" are a product student-inspired, student performed, and to a certain extent student-financed.
Granted, Larry Lebin and his talented wife Shirley deserve
full credit for their playwrighting-composing efforts. Yet it
has been students who have worked the clay of creative
genius though many transformations
into the living,
finished product this week's audiences will view.
Most of the thanks these students will receive for
their efforts will consist either of verbal praise or applause. Their professors will certainly not pat them on the
back for late papers and classes missed to catch up on
sleep. The college community may have tuned in to "Operation Takeover" while typing, or may take a break from
writing final papers to see "Passing Through." Although
the audiences are appreciative and perhaps amazed at how
anyone could have found time to make these projects what
they are, this feeling is a temporary one at best. For the
audience, life goes on and daily routines resume .
And what will the students who participated in these
time-consuming productions have other than a desk full of
work to catch up on? Nothing but the learning experience
of following something through from start to finish - that
supreme experience of being part of the creative process
Becouse a number of students have asked for more time
to enter the Creative Writing
Contest, the deadline has been
extended until May 21 •- end of
the Spring semester.
Winners wiil be announced
next fall and prizes awarded.

Nuclear Energy; Why NOT?
Nuclear energy has for a long time been thought of as the
light at the end of the energy crisis tunnel. It indeed is a
major potential source of energy, but there are a few problems
that would make one wonder about its overall worth — problems
that arc seemingly brushed off lightly by those who advocate
nuclear energy as a power source.
What kind of problems? Well, for starters, just where do you
put the average, run of the mill nuclear power plant? Center City
Philly? Downtown Pittsburgh? Even though safe, effective and
clean by those who favor it, some people still remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the effects of a nuclear explosion that
can still be seen after thirty years passing. Isolation in a desert or the mountains seems hardly reasonable, since the average reactor now in existance needs between 30 and 50 million
gallons of water per hour to cool it ~ slightly more than the
average capacity of a mountain stream to say the least!!! There
are few bodies of water or rivers that can supply this amount of
water for once through cooling for such power plants. The ocean
would seem a likely place due to the vast amount of water available.
More problems arise, however, when we begin to think about
the cooling process. The cooling waters become " h o t " (no pun
intended) and are then passed directly back into the ocean.
Water that is only several degrees warmer than that which it
replaces can have a drastic and devastating effect on the marine
biotic system. Fisheries would by endangered or even completly
changed or destroyed. And if by some freak accident a radioactive
spill should occur in the ocean, it would render that part of the
ocean unfit for human use for an indefinitely LONG period of time.
(It would have to be a freak accident, since advocates of nuclear
energy tell us that safety proceedures far exceed that which are
required- (required by whom?))
Other relative problems include the disposal of radioactive
wastes from reactor fuel Presently the waste, some of which is
highly radioactive and will be for the next million years or so,
is being disposed of in odl salt mines. These salt mines are in
a supposedly stable area of the earth's crust. Let's hope Mother
Nature doesn't decide to rearrange her living room for the next
million years, else our decendents, if any, will be in for a salty
surprise.

for the Haven's Baseball team . . .
Rudy Hackett, Syracuse second team All-American; Gus

Tatum, Marquette Honorable Mention All-American all played for
the same Mount Vernon, N.Y, high school basketball team. They
led their team to two consecutive New York State Championships

veterans , . .
Delata State defeated Immaculata for Girl's National Basketball Title over spring break. Remember it was Immaculata who
eliminated the Haven at Eastern's. With all our returning freshmen, sophomores and juniors, the National Tournament is not an
unrealistic prospect for the future . . .
Miss Breid had nothing but praise for her team after its
initial whitewashing of Gettysburg last week. Magliano, D,

topflight doubles tennis . . .
Coach Dolan very happy with many of his winners acheiving
personal bests against top-flight competition such as The Rock

Also, at one meet or another Ron Palmer, Darryl Walters,
Tom Rowan, Rome Conlon, Steve Tanner, Lou Fiorillo, Bill

Jim Hoke, and Fred Lenig have all been impressive . . .
