EE Editors Attempt A Change
We the editors and staff of the Eagle Eye would like
you, the students of Lock Haven State, to entettain an
experiitient in news publication: we present for approval
the new six-page EE.
Because of a considerable amount of comments about the greatly increased amount of advertising which
severely limits the available space for sports news, we
were forced to devise a way in which better coverage of
events could be handled. Extra paaes of *hf^ orevioiK ^R
size would have been cumtiersome and require stapling.
It was, therefore, decided that a folded style may be an
interesting experiment.
The six smaller pages will present a greater opportunity for diversity of the material presented and the way
in which it is arranged. There will be standard locations
of certain features such as editorials and letters to the
editor which will always appear on page two. You will
be able to find sports news in the area of pages four and/
or five. In the case that any long articles must be continued from one page to another, the conclusions of these
split stories will be located on the sixth page.
With the additional space, we will be attempting more
features and other non-hard news stories. For instance,
because the Eagle Eye photography has improved greatly
over the past year, a "photo-story"
is our first brave
attempt at diversity.
The collection of shots taken at
the Fine Arts Center which appears today on page four
s the first of these features. It is also conceivable that
we will be able to publish more columns and student
stories such as the first-person account of f / i " drug probblem which was printed two weeks ogo. Studfnts having
featur"' -elated to life at LHS are invited to send them
to the Publications Office in the PUB. Full page cover
age of big campus events such as ..ulturr' Affairs lectures, i.e. Margaret Mead, Gerald Ford, o .:., is also a

possibility.

We will run the new Eagle Eye for two weeks at
which time full qiueshonnuies will be distributed.
Because we feel the new formot is greatly to better inform
and serve student interests, we ask you to please cooperate by filling out these questionnares. We will be
interested in your reaction to this new paper style and
how well ^® ^ ° " Pi'ov/c/e enough material for the expanded space.

FollowinB the slides,
Miss Virginia Worsley, senior
nursing auministrator for Foreign Disaster Relief of HEW
commented on her part in
helping children in Nicaragua
receive
medical
attention
they need. She stated that
the main problem in treating
patients is lack of taciiities.
Miss Worsley showed
pictures of Isabel of Nicaragua being treated in a hospital in the United States. Another picture was shown of a
patient needing funds to come
to the States and be tre? 'id.
A question and ans./er
period followed Miss Woi'
sley's talk. Being asked about government funding for
the project, she stated that no
funds were provided by HEW,
and funding is solely by contributions.
Another question concerned the President's concern for Nicaragua. Miss Worsley stated that President
Nixon is for aidinf, Nicaragua.
She further commented that a
Nicaragua Task Force has
been created giving weekly
reports to the President.
During the presentation,
two collection cans had been
circulating.

This is no longer required education; we are paying money to satisfy our own
educational needs. It is our
prerogative to fulfill these
needs as we see fit, within
the requirements established
in order to obtain a degree.
It is not a requirement to attend all classes, yet it is construed to be one under die
flimsy guise of class participation.
The ulterior motive of
this unofficial policy may be
to psychologically motivate
those students whose grades
would suffer from poor atten-

dance into attending more regularly. If a student has not
achieved the relative maturity
necessary to recognize his
potential and his academic
needs, he should not be in
college; at least not yet. The
psychological
vestiges of
tormer conpulsory attendance
in many professors' minds may
also contribute to the existence of this unfair condition.
Regardless of the causes
of this condition, a resolution
seems to be in order. As a
suggestion, professors could
be required to evaluate students' progress solely on the
quality of its manifestation
as opposed to its frequency.
This would pertain only to vocal and other forms of voluntary class participation and
would not interfere with any
of the professors' course requirements.
Still, my opinions are not
necessarily resolutions.
I
only hope to have brought this
problem to your attention.
After all, shouldn't we , as
recepients, have a say in the
education we're going to get?

Literary Letters?
To the Editor:
For the last two days
the Lock Haven campus has
been subjected to the efforts of three students trying to outdo one another on
their literary prowess. The
colorful and sordidly detailed letters which appeared in the Eagle Eye seemed, to us, to be a vain attempt at the high school literary magazine. Sister Mary
Semi-Colon would have Loved it!!
We're not out for the
Nobel Prize, we would just
like to deal with the real
facts and initiate a degree
of fairness in judgement of
the caieteria. From the start
keep in mind that no one
person can speak for people
in general. The tastes of
people differ as far as foods
are concerned, and foods
must Ue prepared with those
who must deal with alergies
and other illnesses in mind.
One of us works in the cafeteria and in this respect is
able to understand the prescont. on p. 3

cont. from p. 2
sures under which the cafeteria staff must work.
The cafeteria
serves
3,200 students a day and
students are flowing in continuously according to their
class schedules. The steam
tables from which the food
is served are kept at tne
highest temperature possible, and the students are
served as quickly as the
staff can manage.
If the
food is cold there is no way
that we can see to arrive at
a remedy to this situation.
The student letters , as descriptive as they might be,
have offered no practical
solution to the problems.
The cafeteria staff has always been open for suggestions. As you recall, in the
past two years the cafeteria
has
distributed
survey
sheets to the students and
Mr. Pronesti reports that
approximately 500 students
filled out these sheets. It
seems that no one took
these
sheets
seriously
since many of the returns
proved to be obscene.
The student pays $10 a
week for his meals and has
the privileae of eating a
maximum of 21 meals a
week.
I know of no place
where one can eat so much
for so little (and go back
for more as many times as
he wishes). In surveying the
food situation on some of
the other state colleges, we
can find that none have the
variety or the privileges
that wc enjoy.

We have a wide choice
of bev'erages, vegetables,
and salads. The salads are,
contrary to public belief,
prepared fresh every morning. The calad tables are
manned by the cafeteria
staff who work to refill the
bowls as quickly as is humanly possible. The staff
itself mu^t deal with many
problems in reference to the
students, A few examples
of student cooperation are
the student who empties
salt snMkers on the tables,
the student who thinks tnat
fun at mealtime consists
of sticking plates together
with peanut butter (and you
wonder why the bowls are
always empty?), the student
who does not take the initiative to carry back his own
tray to the carts, and the
student who takes delight
in seeing how many art
works he can create by mixing all of the various foods
together. If you want to see
how far you can be driven
before bringing your lunch
up, work in the dish room
for a day.
In conclusion, it is important to realize that the
ca eteria is forced to work
within a budget. We feel
that under the circumstances, the cafeteria is doing
an excellent job. We defy
anyone to prove us wrong
after looking at the facts.
To repeat;
The cafeteria
management is always open
for suggestions. If you really want to do something aboul the situation, don't
talk about it...go to the
source.

To the Editor:
"Long" hair and beards
on a baseball team? Absolutely not! Why? Because.
This to me was coach Eberle's philosophy as dictated to
the rest of the team at their
first meeting.
I went to this meeting
with the idea of playing baseball instead of writing this
complaint so I'm not in a position to quote coach Eberle,
but since I was there, I believe I'm qualified to say what
I heard. In effect, he said
that hair would have to be
cut to his standards and that
beards were absolutely intolerable, and anyone who
didn't wish to conform tc
these standards would have
to be content on the intramural team. It seems to me
that some good players who
didn't wish tp fit this description were left out. I was!
Now, I realize that .standards are found in all walks
of lif^ but only because peo-

pie want tfiem or they inst
don't wish to change them.
From talking with some of the
players I don't think they fit
into either of these categories. The coach is a very important member on a baseball
team, but he is still only one
member. His job is to guide
and organize a team so they
can play to their maximum potential. I believe our coach's
policies on appearance are,
shall we s^^y, in foul territory
with regards to his position
on the team. Maybe the players should talk among themselves, call a meeting and
give coach Eberle their policies on appearance After all
they do make up the majority!
I wonder what coach
Eberle think of the Oakland
A's.
For any of you who
aren't familiar with them,
they're baseball's world champions. They were the best
team in baseball last year,
and some of them had, of all
things, "long" hair and
beards!
Raymond L. Stout

Nelson, Director of Enforcement,
Mokes Safety Recommendations
Students lose valuables
to thieves who find the academic scene fertile for items
that are easily converted into
cash. The problem of thefts
on campus is nationwide.
Carl H. Nelson, Director of
Law Enforcement at Lock Haven State offers these suggestions for students.
If alone in an office or
room after hours, keep doors
locked. When leaving the office or room even for only a
few minutes close and lock
the door. This will assure
the student that no one v.'ill
be inside waiting for him
when he returns. Never prop
open a door for someone who
will be entering later.
A
propped open door destroys
security plans and is an open
invitation to undesirables.
Record serial numbers, model
and brand name, and description of valuable items and
keep a duplicate copy in a

separate location
Never
leave a wallet or purse lying
in the open. Keep a record
of credit card numbers.
Require I.D. and authorization from servicemen wanting to work in your room or
office
Never lend keys or
equipment to strangers. Keep
your car locked and take the
keys. Don't leave packages
or personal items in full view
inside. Students should en-,
grave Social Security number
on valuable items. Report
suspicious persons to your
dormitory supervisor. Report
all locks, windows, and doors
in need of repair. Be security
conscious at all times.
Remember it is very easy
for an outsider to come on
Campus and go through a
bunch of open dorm rooms and
steal what he likes. It's difficult to say who is responsible for most campus thefts,
students or unwelcome visitors.

Class-Drop Priviledge Ends Tuesday
"Tuesday, March 6, is
the last day for students to
exercise the class-drop privilege this semester," stated
Dean Eisheid Tuesday.
In dropping a class, the
student must first go to his
advisor and discuss his reasons for wanting to drop fhe
class. He must then obtain
from his advisor a "processing drop card," and have his
advisor sign it.
Next, he must go to the
teacher of the course he
wants to drop and obtain from
him the computer card the
student gave him at the beginning of the semester. Upon doing this, both the processing drop card and the
computer card should be taken to Mr. Zakem, in the Administration Building.
Designed to give the student a chance to see what a
course is like, the class-drop
