A fire broke out in room
2.'* of Smith Hall on the Lock
Haven Stale College campus
shortly after 6 pm F'riday.
Rich Diwald reporied the
lire to Mrs. Merrill the housemother in Smith Hall, who in
turn called the fire company.
The studenis in the dor mitory
had the fire out hy the time
firemen arrived.

Sloan
fo expand
by J o h n P r o s s e d a
The Sloan Fine Arts
Center, which is expected to
be open for use in September, has been expanded in
purpose. As Donald Stevenson,
superintendent
of
mainlainence
explains,
"Originally,
the
building
was designed soley for the
purpose of housing the music
and theatre departments, but
wilh the help of a federal
grant, facilities were added
to accomodate the art department as w e l l . "
He noted that the building,
which
now
stands
completed after a year and
a half at a cost of nearly
2.5 million d o l l a r s , presently
lacks furniture, due to cutback of stale monies. " I l ' s
a .shame," Stevenson went
on to say, " i h H we now
have, for example, a theatre
which is ready for use in the
building, without lighting."
The request submitted for
additional funds to complete
the new building, now awaits
approval by the state legislature.

Mrs. Merrill said the one
fire extinguisher would not
wor'; and the fire chief told
her there was no acid in it.
l'.ui:lc l-'.yc reporter Bill Mahon
checked the fire extinguishers
in Smith Hall lasl week before
the fire and found the two
extinguishers in the building
which have pressure gauges on
them were below the"operahle'
condition. One machine was
missing altogether and the
rest were of the " s o d a - a c i d "
type which do not include
pressure gauges.
.'\ fireman at the scene
explained how the soda-acid
fire extinguisher operated. He
said that apparently the machine was recently filled with
water hut that the acid core
was not replaced, and a t t r i buted that to the failure of
the extinguisher. The fireman

Most impressive sound sysfem
to be part of soon to be opened
Sloan Arts Center
By

John P r o s s e d a

"When completed, this
should be the most impressive
sound-system not only in the
s t a t e , but probably on the
entire Eastern
seaboard."
These are the words of Dr.
John Schwarz, member of the
LHS music department, as he
d e s c r i b e d the new musiclistening f a c i l i t i e s
to be
featured in the s o o n - u v b e opened
Sloan
Fine
Arts
Cenier.
Atler months of planning
Dr. Schwarz, in conjunction
with
the
Radio-Malic of
America, Inc., of Hillside,

New Jersey, have designed
a listening center.
I'his
center will reportedly surpass
anylhing that has ever been
employed on t h i s , or any of
the other state campuses, as
far as the quality of equipment and facilities are concerned.
" B e c a u s e of ihe ' p o l i t i c s '
that come inlo play wilh the
s t a l e ' s system of contract
bidding, sometimes a contract
will he issued to a very incompetent company, incapable
of doing anything but 2nd
rale work. So 1 decided lo
research the project on my
own to find a respectable
firm to do the kind of high-

quality work desired for this
center,"
explained
Dr.
Schwarz.
Schwarz
pointed
oul.
that the cenier will cost an
estimated ^35,000, and will
contain the best equipment
availahle for the money. The
cenier will feature listening
facilities to be used by 40
students at any given lime.
F'ach listening ' s t a t i o n ' will
contain a dolbyized s t e r e o
C a s s e t t e playback deck, the
hest available and other equipment capable of receiving any
one of eight programs (channels) emanating from two

Martin,

Schools

I take exception
To the Editor:

Bhaskaro Rao discussed the
English Novel in India. He
traced the history of the
English language in India,
explaining that it had been a
symbol of status to speak the
language.
However,
the
importance of English is
declining in India as more
and more emphasis is being
placed on their own dialogues.
Unlike Austrailia's and
New Zealands " i d e n t i t y "
theme, Rao stated that the
major Indian theme seemed lo
be the capacily or incapacity
to adjust lo the Indian experience after being westernized.
Rao said that few young
Indian writers were writing in
l-^iglish.
He felt this was
regreiable since there should
he some kind of communication of the significant themes
of Indian life to the English
speaking world.
He added
that Indian fiction written in
Fjiglisb barely touched the
surface - the great themes were
still unspoken.

Murray S. Martin, a New
Zealand poet, and K. B h a s k a r b
Rao, Indian novelist, were two
literary figures who highlighted Friday's " L i t e r a t u r e of
the Commonwealth of E n g l i s h "
symposium.
Martin investigated some
of the majm themes of the
early Austrailian and New
Zealand poets. He emphaf-ised that much of the island's
poetry involved the analysis
of the identity and direction
of the country and ils people.
He discussed several
poems which exemplified different periotls of the countries
growth; discovery and exploration, experience of the
depression, nature poetry and
Bush Balled. Mar lin remarked
that tlie "imagery of i s o l a t i o n "
no longer controlled the poetry; nor does the idea of always baxing ;i kangaroo in
the poem to represent Australian,

Consider
Rip-off orfisfs
hurf everyone
by C a r o l Si g a r s
Every day students who
live in LHS' residence halls
get ripped off. Hundreds of
dollars am an unestimated
amount of ersonal property
are stolen
ach year from
dormitory re ^idents.
Who a-e the thieves?
Mr. Carl N ; l s o n , director of
Law Enfor. emenl, concludes
that a nuniber of thefts are
committed by local r e s i d e n t s .
However, a large percentage
musl be attributed to other
sludents who attend this
college.
Il
is
this
"student
thief" that we are concerned
with. Most students who do
steal are not aware of the
fact that if caught they will
have a criminal record. T h i s
is sad, because most sludents here plan to enter the
professions.
Finding
a
professional
post
after
establishing
a record
is
next to impossible.
Students can discourage
unnecessary thefts by taking
simple
precautions.
Room
doors should be locked if
one plans to be gone for any
length of time. Large sums
of money should be kept
hidden in a locked container,
or better yet, deposited in a
local bank. If a theft does
occur, it should be reporied
immediately.
Stealing in the dorms
is everyone's concern. Ripoff artists hurt everyone
including themselves.

Lock Haven nine end baseball season 9-?I
by George Morrison
In their last two meetings of the season the Lock
Haven nine did nol fare very
well as they dropped 3 of
4 games. They ended their
s e a s o n with a mark of 9 wins
and 11 l o s s e s , 5 and 5 in
the conference.
Stroudsburg Taltes Two
In their doubleheader
against E a s t Stroudsburg,
Lock Haven pitching struggled greatly, walking 16
batters in 12 innings. The
Eagles outhit East Stroudsburg 16-9, but the walks
hurt the Haven.
East Stroudsburg's big
inning in game one wa:-. the
third when they sent ten
men to the plate. Ziengenfuss reached base on an
error, Johnston singled, and
Vercallo
walked,
loading
the b a s e s . Moore drove in a
run on a fielder's choice and
W+frlon walked, loading the
b a s e s again. Koenig walked
driving in another run, and
Acker a l s o walked, forcing

in a run. Cannel singled lo
drive in two big runs and
Hoar ended t h ; inning flying
two right. As a resull of this
inning, five runs had scored
on only two h i t s . East
Stroudsburg now had the
lead, 5-2. Both teams scored
again, bul the Stroudsburg
nine held on to win 6-3.
Winning pitcher was Calvo
and the loser, Steve Lebo.
In the second game, the
Eagles fared no better as
they dropped the gane 4-3.
East
Stroudsburg
scored
three times in t h ; sixth to
win. The Haven had a 3-1
lead in this game until the
big inning for East Stroud.sburg spoiled their hopes.
The E a g l e s made a futile
attempt in the seventh as
Bob Wrighl and Dave Pavaiko singled, bui that was all
the Eagles got as both men
were left stranded on b a s e .
The winner wa-; Bauer
and the loser, Brian Winters.
For the day, Lock Haven's
Dave Pavaiko had two h i t s ,
Ed Stum, three h i t s , Jeff
Kashner, tliree h i t s , and
Bob Wrighl, two hits. John-

s'on for East
had two bits.

the same play, ful Slum

was the imly s;ore of the
game for the F.agles,

inning which was all they
needed to win the game.
