To Park or Not to Park
One of the first things we noticed upon returning to the
c a m p u s this fall was the enlargement of the student body.
The total of 1480 students was the largest enrollment in
the history of the college.
Along with the expanding student body, it is quite evident that there are many more cars on campus. At the
recent Student Council meeting it was pointed out that 588
students have registered their cars. The two designated
student parking a r e a s can accommodate only 108 cars.
This leaves 480 vehicles without proper and convenient
places to park. Because there are so m a n y off-campus
students driving to sel-.ee". the poor dormitory student with
a car is not permittoci ;o use eoUege parking facilities.
It is quite evident ;:•..•.: immediate action should be
taken to alleviate the parkmi; problem. The Parking Committee has asked the Studett: Cooperative Council to back
them in securing funds :'or .> v-irking lot behind the Special
Education Buildint;. This .-.le.i eould perhaps handle 100
cars, but there would s;;'.'. re ever 300 cars "with no place
to go."
Since it is preferred that college-owned land be used
for parking, perhaps land eould be cleared on top of the
hill for a big and adequate parking area.

Groove News
by Mel Hodes
Beginning the third year of
Groove News with a bang, we'd
like to recommend to you a superb collection of records in
the serious music vein. These
records are recorded on the
little-known VOX and S T E R E OVOX labels. Vox has its main
office in New York and has several smaller offices in Europe.
The Vox series offers many
s e l e c t i o n s in the Baroque,
Classical, Romantic, and Impressionistic Periods of music.
Chopin, Beethoven, S h u b e r t ,
Tchaikovsky, Berlioz, and Hyden are just a few of the composers offered in this fine repert o i r e . Works are performed
with very sufficient fidelity adequately enhanced in stereo by
the Telemann Society Orchest r a of F r a n c e and the Bamberg
Symphony of Bamberg, Germany.
The secret of the low price of
these recordings is that the
records are recorded and produced throughout Europe, and
several of them were m a d e in
1959, which makes them about
three years old. But, fellow students, these records a r e well
worth having.
THE BARGAIN, OF GREATEST IMPORTANCE TO USUALLY FINANCIALLY POOR

College Diary Returns
To Air Every Wednesday
The Public Relations Committee at the Lock Haven State
College, in collaboration with
Harris Lipez, general m a n a g e r
of the " W B P Z " radio station in
Lock Haven, has put on the air
again this year the program entitled "College Diary." This is
a taped half-hour p r o g r a m
heard each Wednesday night
from 7:30 to 8:00 throughout the
school year, not including holidays.
T h i s y e a r ' s announcer is
Craig Holland, a junior and a
resident of this city. Last y e a r
Craig was second-in-command
under Mahlon Schlegel, and it
is expected that this y e a r ' s program will be a greater success
than those of seasons passed.
The purpose of this program
is to publicize the activities of
the students, staff, and faculty,
to bring important announcements of news, and to present
a commentary on the educational scene.
The program includes a news
show, and the important features this year will be interviews with leaders of various
c l u b s and organizations on
campus, as well as with faculty,
and staff m e m b e r s . Interviews
with the coaches of the various
sports will also be a part of the
program.

In addition to the interviews,
the college hopes to have the
college choir and band entered
as much as possible.
Another portion of the prog r a m will be "News and Views
of the Educational Scene." This
p a r t is presented by Henry Edwards, a newcomer to Lock
Haven and a foremost commentator on educational news.
This radio p r o g r a m is only
one of many voices the Public
Relations C o m m i t t e e has
throughout central Pennsylvania. It hopes to enlighten people
to the significant role Lock Haven State College can play in
the future of education in Pennsylvania.
Good luck to the Public Relations Committee and all others
involved in their efforts for an
interesting program.

A Campus Personality
by TONA WILLIAMS
E a c h morning a green and
white British Austin-Cooper sedan arrives on campus, noses
into its parking space behind
the auditorium, and p u r r s to a
stop. The door opens and out
steps the driver of this automobile—none other than Mr.
Robert Solomon, new m e m b e r
of the Language Arts Department. Tall, dark, and bespectacled, Mr. Solomon comes to
Lock Haven State College from
Temple University where last
s u m m e r he received his Masters degree in English. Having
taught there on a part-time
basis for two years while doing
graduate work, Mr. Solomon
says that Lock Haven students
compare favorably with those
at "Temple, the worst papers
here being slightly better than
the worst ones there. He says,
however, that he has found no
papers as good as the ones at
Temple.
Mr. Solomon is a bachelor
whose hobbies include cooking
(both by choice and of necessity—his specialty is spaghetti
w i t h mushrooms), classical
music, progressive jazz, and
Zen Buddhism. (If any of you
have a stray Buddha you no
longer want, Mr. Solomon will
be glad to add it to his collection.)

ROBERT SOLOMON
Born and raised in Philadelphia, he is the youngest of three
children. He will be 25 on January 15. When asked about
Lock Haven, he replied that the
students and faculty here are
very friendly and polite. "But
the w e a t h e r ! " he continued.
"It is incredible, impossible,
and dangerous."
Pointing to his jacket button
which was held in place by a
safety pin, Mr. Solomon admitted that he needed a wife to
take c a r e of him. He concluded
by saying he hopes to m a k e

rest of his life.
Welcome aboard, Mr. Solomon.

on Monday, September 30, the
first "Round Robin" will take
place beginning in Smith Hall.
"Round Robin" is a t e r m used
to identify the opening night of
fraternity rushing. It is called
"Round Robin" because t h e
prospective fraternity rushees
will rotate on a set schedule
from one fraternity house to
another. This schedule has been
initiated by the Interfraternity
Council to eliminate the confusion and disorganization usually
experienced on the first night
of rushing. The schedule of rotation and eligibility is posted
on the I. F. C. Bulletin Board
located in Social Square in Sullivan Hall. All interested eligible males are cordially invited
to attend.
SIGMA P I
Although the Brothers of Sigma Pi spent their s u m m e r vacations in varied ways, their
interest now lies in a common
goal — the renovation of their
house. The odor of paint and
the sound of pounding h a m m e r s
indicate that their ambition will
soon be realized. Improvements
are being supervised by "Radical" Rick Clifton, o u r new
house manager, who is running
a "tight ship."
The intramural football team
of Sigma Pi is looking forward
to a good season this fall. We
are issuing a challenge to all
the other intramural t e a m s to
meet our heavy line and fast
backfield.
The passing s u m m e r brought
the sound of wedding bells for
Brother Bob Sheppard (64) and
Tim Kavel (63). The eyes of
Brother Bob Guldin (65) and
Rick Haag (65) are still reflecting the sparkle of diamonds
t h e i r sweethearts received.
Congratulations and best wishes to these Brothers and their
spouses or spouses-to-be.

THE EAGLE EYE

WHO'S WHO
by ROD FOWLER

Gus's Grappler — Handley's Ham
If he is in a room alone, it is
crowded. If you stand and talk
to him, you are surrounded.
You will not have any trouble
noticing him—all six foot five,
two himdred forty pounds of
him.
H a r r y Sisak is a standout on
the stage or the wrestling mat.
A native of Allison Park, Pa.,
Sisak transferred to LHSC from
Michigan University in 1961.
While here he has distinguished
himself by building up an impressive record as a wrestler
and an actor. Last season he
was 8-3 in dual meets, third in
the state contest and fourth in
little nationals. An excellent
record for a wrestler in the unlimited class.
H a r r y ' s m a j o r field of endeavor is English, and his minor seems to be dramatics. In
1962 he played the lead role in
the College P l a y e r s ' major production. Look Homeward Angel. His first year dramatic efforts were impressive enough
to have him selected to the honorary dramatic fraternity. Alpha Psi Omega, of which he is
now president. He also finds
time to be a m e m b e r of TKE
and the College Players.
At the age of twelve, Harry
stood six feet two and weighed
one hundred eighty; only then
was he finally able to convince
his classmates to stop calling
him "Sausage Sisak." A natural interest in sports led him

to the wrestling t e a m at North
Allegheny High School in Pittsburgh. Under the tutelage of
Coach Leonard " G u s " DeAugustino, he grappled his way
to the District Championship
for two years in a row at 185,
and in his senior y e a r held the
honor as regional runner up.
Gus DeAugustino was LHSC
first wrestler to be selected for
the Olympic Team in 1952. Gus
helped Harry overcome adolescent a w k w a r d n e s s in high
school and strongly influenced
his decision to study and wrestle at LHSC.
H a r r y spends his off campus
hours with his new bride, the
former Marilyn Sarver, also a
native of Pittsburgh. If you
look close enough you'll still
see the stars in their eyes from
their August honeymoon trip
to Miami Beach.
This reporter queried Sisak
about what he would be if he
could be anything he wanted.
"A Gladiator," he answered,
without flinching, "Because it
would be exciting to fight for
your life in a dramatic way
every day."
We could not resist taking
this opportunity to ask Harry
for a prediction of this y e a r ' s
wrestling team. It is simple,
but eloquent in his own words,
" A lineup with fellows the calibre of Blacksmith, P o w e l l ,
Cook, Swope and Eisenhower
will be pretty tough to beat."

The Great Expedition
by GEORGE MILLS
No matter how experienced
one is in the w a y s of the wild,
it is sometimes difficult to
overcome nature and general
mishaps. Such was the case in
the great expedition of those
two daring adventurers of the
C a n a d i a n backwoods. Dean
Young and Dr. Parsons.
The north-bound Safari left
Lock Haven in two c a r s at the
crack of dawn on August 2,
1963, heavily l o a d e d with
camping supplies — destination
—Lake Waswashkesh, Ontario,
Canada. The m e m b e r s of the
p a r t y included Dr. Parsons, his
wife, and their son, Trance, in
one car, and Dean Young, his
wife, their grandson. Skipper,
in the other car.
Camping Area Crowded
They were well into Canada
by noon and arrived at Port
S e v e r n on Georgian Bay at
12:30 in the afternoon. That
particular weekend was a holiday in Canada and the camping area was quite crowded,
but the two parties managed
to find adjacent campsites, and
proceeded to erect overnight
sleeping quarters. A series of
events then occurred that the
group will long remember.
Upon driving his car into an
empty campsite, Dr. Parsons
r a n over a t r e e stump and
d a m a g e d the steering mechanism in his car, had to leave his
car at Port Severn, but continued the next day and the
remaining 100 miles via a rented truck.
Now, Mother Nature began
her discouraging ways, and the
weary travelers had to slash
away the thick, almost impassable Canadian underbrush to
erect their sturdy s h e l t e r s
amid a driving rainstorm.
"Motor Trouble"
Even the most experienced
b o a t s m a n can m a k e a mistake.
So, while transporting, by outboard, supplies from the dock
across the lake to the campsite, Dean Young and Dr. Parsons had motor trouble. After
vainly trying to start the motor, they began to row, until an
elderly lady happened by and
towed them to the dock. Dean
Young then asked an old friend
if he could get a m a n to fix the
motor. The mechanical genius
solved the problem when he
opened the lid of the " e m p t y "
gas tank. Dean Young's friend
r e m a r k e d , "Of all the people
on this lake a thing like this
should happen to, it happensjto
you."
The following day began a
week of fine fishing weather for
the party. Small-mouth bass
were biting well and fish was
on the menu quite often, and in
spite of being m a n y miles from
civilization, the group ate and
lived rather well.
On Friday, August 9, the Dr.
Parsons g r o u p broke camp,
headed for home, and again the
weather made parting a sole m n occasion. Dean Young and

his group stayed on until the
following Tuesday.
At Port Severn, while the
Parsons were having lunch,
there was a power failure in
the area, and Dr. Parson's car
was repaired atop a hydraulic
lift. After waiting for several
hours for the power to resume,
the P a r s o n s finally headed
homeward.
All went well for the Young
family until the day they broke
c a m p ; and then nature took
m a t t e r s in hand and delivered
a torrential d o w n p o u r that
drenched the Youngs and much
of their equipment. D r i v i n g
t h r o u g h continual rain just
north of the Pennsylvania-New
York state line on a road that
was u n d e r construction, the
Young's car scraped bottom on
a high spot between two deep
ruts, and the result was a hole
in the gas t a n k ; but a four-hour
stopover in Bradford, Pa., took
c a r e of that 'minor" detail.
T h e bedraggled travelers
thought that nothing else could
possibly happen to stymie their
homeward p r o g r e s s . How
wrong they were! About halfway between Renovo and Lock
Haven, just before daylight, a
tire blew out. At 6:30 Wednesday morning the group pulled
into home, weary, wet, but happy because Dean Young at last
had found a beautiful spot on
which to build his s u m m e r retreat, the plans for which he
has had for twenty years.
Surely, this y e a r ' s Canadian
vacation will be one to talk of
and r e m e m b e r for many moons
to come.

Prof Bacli
From Europe
by ROD FOWLER
Mr. Charles C. Vonada, of
the Social Science Department,
sailed from New York aboard
the T. S. S. Olympia on March
twenty-second to begin a twomonth Sabbatical tour abroad.
The twelve-day trip through
the Mediterranean Sea, with a
stop at Lisbon, ended in Athens. Mr. Vonada spent several
days there investigating museums and artifacts. While in
Athens, he and his wife were
invited to dinner by Lt. and
Mrs. Ronald Baker, both Lock
Havenites. Mrs. Baker is the
former B a r b a r a Bittner who attended L. H. S. C. prior to her
marriage. A dinner party was
held aboard the U. S. S. Enterprise, the United States Navy's
largest and only atomic-powered aircraft carrier. At Corinth, Greece, Mr. Vonada observed that rural life resembled life in biblical times. In
that city he viewed the site of
St. Paul's sermon to the Corinthians.
Jets Form Letters
Side trips from Athens took
the travelers to Delphi and the
site on the Aegean Sea where
the Greeks once warred with
the Persians. A NATO meeting
was taking place in Athens,
and Mr. Vonada witnessed a
squadron of fifty jets flying
over the Acropolis forming the
letters of their organization.
Italy w a s the next country
visited. On Easter Sunday they
stood in Rome's St. P e t e r ' s
Square and witnessed the last
public a p p e a r a n c e of the late
Pope John. The crowd that day
was estimated at 800,000. Mr.
Vonada c a n attest that at least
one person there was a pickpocket, because his wallet was
missing when he returned to
his lodgings. The wallet, minus
a substantial sum of money
was returned by the U. S. Consul in August. The Consul received it from the Rome postal
authorities who evidently recovered it from a mail box.
Roman pickpockets, it seems,
are very courteous.
Visit to Capri
Side trips from R o m e included a visit to the enchanting Isle
of Capri and to Florence where
stands the impressive Pitti Palace, home of the Medici family.
The contents of the palace include the works of Raphael and
Michaelangelo.
The tour continued to Germany, Switzerland, F r a n c e ,
England, Scotland, and finally
to Southampton in England for
the return voyage aboard the
S. S. New Amsterdam.
Mr. Vonada planned his own
itinerary to make side trips
possible, trips that would bring
him in c l o s e conversational
contact with citizens of other
countries. F r o m his talks with
them he found that the people
of Greece possess an absolute
loyalty and friendship for the
United States. British subjects
hold a great respect for our
former p r e s i d e n t General
Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Mr. Vonada snapped several
hundred colored slides in Europe which he will use as teaching aids in his classes on the
history of Ancient Civilization.
In 1959 Mr. Vonada toured
ten countries in South America
with a group from P e n n State
to study educational methods
there.

How did David kill Goliath?
How does a Mongoose kill the
Cobra? How did Oklahoma win
the Big Eight Conference with
one of the smallest big college
t e a m s in the nation? The answer to these questions is exactly the s a m e : speed and tactics. Lock H a v e n ' s football
t e a m will be attempting the
s a m e thing tomorrow afternoon
when they meet a big, powerful team from California. The
Eagles have been picked very
low this year, last in the Conference by Street & Smith football magazine, but they will
have to prove to m e that they
are that bad. With runners like
Gutshall, Mascaro, S c h l o p y ,
Klinger; a talented quarterback
like Johnson; and a line that is
small but quick, I can hardly
agree with Mr. S t r e e t and
Mr. Smith.
Mr. Jack says he is very happy to be picked last because
the underdog has no prestige
to uphold. A wise old man once
told me to watch out for the
small man. If you whip him it
m e a n s nothing, but if he whips
you he is everybody's champion. Two-platooning, s p e e d ,
and tactics a r e the mainstays
of the E a g l e ' s t e a m this season,
and we believe that it will be
m o r e than enough to give every
t e a m we play 60 minutes worth
of trouble.
What do you do with a soccer
t e a m with talent to spare? Why
of course, you win; what else?
I only hope my idea will prove
true for our soccer team this
_ year. With personnel such as
' Journey, Leese, Orwig, Horner,
Kievit, Van Demark, Miller,
and M y e r s back from last
y e a r ' s squad, and the new faces of Liddick, Carpenter, Reinik, Wetherhold, M a r t z , and
Flynn, Mr. L a w t h e r should
have a very good team this
year. We saw the soccer t e a m
play quite a bit last year and
we have been keeping a close
eye on their practices. W i t h
plenty of leadership on the field
and from the bench, the soccer
t e a m should be able to look
forward to a n excellent season.
If you have never seen a soccer game before, why not m a k e
it a must to be at the upper

field at 9:30 a. m . tomorrow? I
know that's r a t h e r early, but
we feel that a t e a m with the
potential l i k e ours deserves
your support.
If you see a woman walking
around campus with a hockey
stick in her hand and a smile
on her face, that will undoubtedly be Dr. Smith. She has all
the r e a s o n in the world to
smile. She is the coach of what
should prove to be one of the
best hockey t e a m s in the history of Lock Haven. The t e a m
is filled with talent that is back
from last year, and there seem
to be plenty of replacements
to fill any holes in the lineup.

halfback; Lorraine Albrecht,
left halfback; Kay Charles, center halfback; and Mary Jane
(Henny) Hennessey, g o a l i e .
The Juniors are, Shirley Olt,
left wing; and Peggy Harriz.

Inside Shots —
Dick Miller, football t e a m
captain, had to r e t i r e from
football because of a defective
wrist . . . Al J a c k s , a former
Slippery Rock assistant coach,
is now coach at Clarion . . .
Tom Bossert, last y e a r ' s standout guard, is now helping Mr.
Hacker with the freshman . . .
Ginny Blake will be missing
from the hockey team, student
teaching . . . Mansfield had a
week off from school, no heat in
the dorms, and class rooms . . .
Good luck to all fall sports from
the Eagle Eye staff.

The sophomores include, Nancy Springs, right iiuier; and
Phoebe Williams, center forward. Temporarily sidelined is
senior Julie Dickson who will
be replaced by Lynn E a r l at
the left inner position. Miss
E a r l is the lone freshman on
the team.
Continuing where they left ofl
last year, the Eaglettes defeated the Keystone Hockey Club
last Saturday afternoon by the
score of 2-0. Scoring in both
periods, once by Nancy Springs
with an assist by Phoebe Williams in the first period and
then by Bobbie Roberts, with
an assist from Nancy Springs
during the second period, the
Lock Haven squad dominated
play. Only a few occasions
arose when Keystone had the
opportunity to score, but these
attempts stalled due to the sterling play of Mary Jane Hennessey, goalie. Team effort however, most characterized the victory for the Eaglettes last Saturday.
The women's hockey t e a m
will host Bloomsburg, October 1.

Eagles To Tangle
With Vulcans of
California State
by Don Wagner, Sports Editor
Coach Hubert Jack and his
revenge - minded Bald Eagles
will face a stern test tomorrow
afternoon, when the Maroon
and Gray will run head on into
the Vulcans of California State.
Still remembering last year's
47-21 walloping at the hands
of Coach Bill Hepner's Greekmen, Lock Haven will be out
to make an impressive showing before an anticipated packed
house for the Eagles homecoming contest.
Fresh from its opening season victory over Bloomsburg,
21-13, Coach J a c k and his assistants are expecting all they can
handle from the explosive Vulcans. Averaging over 400 yards
per game on offense last year,
California State will field fourteen out of its twenty-two starters from its (5-1-1) squad of
last season.
Leading the Vulcans' p a r a d e
of talented backs tomorrow will
be lettermen, Alan Sepsi, John
DeSimone and 158-pound star
quarterback, R a y D r e s c h.
Showing the w a y for Coach
Hepner's backs will be his 215
pound line. Ron Pocorous, Marv
Watson and Ron Bradley will
provide most of the punch up
front.
Scheduled to do most of the
running for Lock Haven will be
its human-bulldozer. Bob Gutshall, Lou Mascaro and Ken
Schopy. In the game against
the Huskies Gutshall was by
far the leading ground gainer
in the contest.
In the Maroon and Gray's
seasonal opener, last Saturday
night, the Eagles combined a
strong ground game with timely passing to subdue the Huskies.
After jumping off to a secondquarter, 7-0 lead, on the strength
of Gutshall's one-yard plunge,
the Eagles watched the visitors
knot the score in the third period. Moments after the third
quarter whistle blew, Gutshall
tossed a thirty-four yard aerial
to Ken Schopy, for the tiebreaking score.
Meade Johnson, the Bald E a gles sophomore signal - caller,
also managed to assist in the
scoring, as he fired a six-pointer to Joe Pascale with 4:10
remaining on the clock.
All three extra point tries
were successful for the Maroon
as a Johnson p a s s to Ed Banks
provided one conversion and
Miller, a freshman, checked in
with two placements.

The forward wall could not

balls to that forward wall for
some time. Ed is more the
quiet half of the co-captain combination, but he is forceful in
his own way. Journey is also a
