Several views expressed at racism forum
By CATHIE KEENAN
Co-Editor
Emphasizing the need for white
students at the college to become more
sensitive to the problems confronting
the black student population, a college
psychology professor opened discussion
at the "Forum on Racism" held in
Bentley Hall Lounge, Wednesday, April
14 at 12:10.
"To some extent, I feel that what
we are trying to do here is to sensitize
you white students to some of the black
students' problems," said Mr. John
Brendel, "and to develop a solidarity so
that the white students will back the
black students in some ofthe things that
they want done on this campus."
Brendel, who arranged the forum
as a result of two violent incidents
participated in by white and black
students during the previous weekend,
facilitated discussion at the forum. He
said that the events which had occurred
among white and black students during
the weekend were not to be the main
issue ofthe forum and he did not wish to
emphasize the incidents during the
forum.
President of Kappa Delta Rho
(KDR) fraternity, Michael Wilhelm,
stated that he desires the issue to be
settled by the individuals involved and
strongly urged that the entire fi-atemity
not be blamed for the incidents until the
facts were reported.
"Personally my strongest feeling is
that it should not be looked upon as a
fraternity issue. All of this could have
been settled between two groups of
people," said Wilhelm.
Members of the Black Cultural
Society (B.C.S.) were called onto
express their viewpoints after Wflhelm
spoke but declined to do so until later in
the forum.
Formal charges had not been
brought against any ot the participants
in the two confrontations and the
incidents were still under investigation
at the time of the forum according to
Mr. Cari Nelson, Director of Campus
Law Enforcement. Dr. Russel Milliken,
vice president of the administration,
who was present at the forum, clarified
how the investigation was being conducted.
"The status of the investigation is
at two phases - the campus Law
Enforcement is investigating the incident whether or not it had racial
overtones is being investigated by the
state police and a representative of the
Human Relations Commission," stated
Dr. Milliken.

Staff Reporter
"Passing Through Mat
Town, U.S.A.," a musical play
by Larry Lebin, will open
Friday, April 23, in Rogers
Gym, with a preview Thursday
evening.
The play features a large
cast mainly consisting of nontheatre majors. They include
JoLynne Leitzel as the captain
of the women's gymnastics
team, Bill Sterner as the Bald
Eagles wrestiing coach, and
Ed Strenk as Jake Corette, the
head wrestier around whom
the plot revolves.
Corette and his girlfiiend,
Rachel, are both under a great
deal of pressure before the big
LHSC vs. Penn State wrestiing
match. These pressures and a
search tor a way to escape
them affect Jake and Rachel's
relationship as they find
themselves facing desicions
that will change the rest of
their lives.
Another major conflict in
the play occurs between Arnold Aisgel, the Penn State
heavyweight who it istching

NARC sponsers Special Olympic games
By BILL MAHON
Following in her brothers'
footsteps Eunice Kennedy
Schriver has taken up the
banner of the humanitarian.
Ms. Schriver created Special
Olympics eight years ago so
that retarded people could
enjoy, and could be seen
enjoying the things other
people enjoy.
Few people will dispute
the excitement watching an
athlete, somebody who is the
best in the world, win. Cameras whirr, bulbs flash, and
hands start to shake as the
masses move in to be part of
"the great moment."
At a Special Olympics
there are many "great
moments." The littie girlrwho
jumps for the first time in her
life; the 12 year old boy who
throws a ball for the first time;
and the child who goes over a
very short high jump, all by
himself - - these are great
moments the biggest sports
fanatic probably never will
view.
You won't see anv records
broken at Special Olympics,
but you also won't see the
dejected face of a loser - everybody is a kind of winner.
The retarded child wins confidence in himself, and most
importantly wins the support
of the spectator who learns for
the first time that a retarded
person is very much a person.
We live in a society where
give is increasingly measured
in terms of the consequential
take. But what can you possibly gain from cheering or
helping a retarded child? Less
sleep, less studying and less
fiin-in-the-sun time. But you
may gain a lot.
The Special Olympics will
mean something different to
you depending on your position in the day's activities.
This is what it meant for Carl
Erskine, former all-star pitcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers,
whose son Jimmy has competed in a track event:
"When the gun went off,
the first thing he did was to
hold his ears. That put him
way behind, and he finished
dead last in his heat. But there
is no way of describing the
satisfaction of seeing Jimmy
just finish the race. Tears were
running down my face so hard
I could hardly take his picture."
In all 50 states and a
growing number of foreign
nations over 400,000 competitors are involved in Special
Olympics. Most people will
live their entire life never
coming into contact with a
retarded person. Can you shut
your eyes and ignore nearly
half a million people who are
reaching out trying to gain
your acceptance of their existoont. onpagoS

the seriousness of the racial

in question
To the editor,
Hil I was just passing
through and I thought I would
ask a few questions. Somehow
I can't quite get it straight in
my own head why we students
have to give $6,000 to "Passing Through..." I do not
mean to impugn the validity
of Mr. Lebin's enterprise, but
I do question the amount
involved.
From my own
limited knowledge I understand that the production costs
for the play are only around
$2,500. Why then the extta
$3,500? I have no doubt the
play will be very good and 1
intend to se it but somehow
this whole affair has a foul
odor to it. Could it be because
Mr. Heverly, the producers of
the play, is also one of the
most powerful members of our
student government. Indeed,
he even sits on the Senate
Appropriations Committee,
the very same committee that
controls the $6,000 inquestio
This kind of conflict of interest
gets people thrown out of
office in Washington. Furthermore, the S.C.C. now puts
the onus of the plays success
on the students. Ifwe don't all
plunk down our money for
tickets, the S.C.C, or rather
the students, lose a bundle.
First Ms. Borgese tells us
what a worthwhile production
the play is, then Mr. Shimer
tells us that "...there's no way
kids are going to pay $2.50."
Why not? If it's a good play
people will pay good money to
see it, if it isn't you can't force
people to go see it. $6,000 was
used to buy 3,000 tickets.
That's $2 per ticket. If we go,
we'll have to pay another $1 to
$1.50. According to my math,
this plan to reduce ticket
prices means that students will
now pay up $3.50 to see a play
that originally cost $2.50. Lest
you forget, that $6,000 didn't
just drop fi-om the sky; it
comes from that activity fee we
all paid in January, remember? The College Players keep
getting their budget cut and I
assume there will be no spring

Feminist leader comes to LHS
By WENDY AKELEY
Staff Reporter
Florynce Kennedy, lawyer
lecturer, author, a founder of
the Feminist Party, and a
member of the National Black
Feminist Organization, will
appear at 8:00 p.m. in Sloan
Auditorium.
Kennedy is best known for
her activist campaign against
oppression in any form. She
has staged a Harvard Yard
"pee-in" to protest the lack of
women's toilets on campus
and a Hollyvvood Toilet Bowl
calling attention to the movie
industry's put-down of women
in films. Recentiy she has
taken the Catholic Church to
court, claiming that they
spend illegal amounts of
money on lobbying against
liberal abortion laws.
Born in Kansas City, Montana, Kennedy was taught
from an eariy age to believe in
her own importance and selfworth. Such a philosophy came
to her aid when she applied to
Columbia University's law
program, after completing her
pre-law studies there, and was
turned down in spite of her 'A'
average because she was
female. She succeded in entering the program, however,
with the help of some wellaimed letters of indignation in
which she threatened to de
nounce Columbia as racially
prejudiced at a time when the
school was under attack for its
racist admission policies.
After graduation, Kennedy
worked as a law clerk, then
began her own practice, working on unpopular cases and
associating with the poor and
the downtrodden.
Today she devotes her life to
her work, preaching her own
brand of humanitarian idealism and crusading against
oppression in any form. According to Kennedy, "There
are several kinds of oppression: personal, private, public,
and political. An example of
personal oppression is when
you husband hits you in the
mouth. Private oppression is
when you go for a job and they
say, 'We aren't interviewing
women for this job, but how
would you like to be Joe
Blow's secretary?' Public-

$6000 for one production of
questionable artistic merit? (5)
Last year's production of the
musical "The Apple Tree"
involved a minimum of 125
participants (actors, technicians, musicians, and stafO,
for which $1500 was allocated
in the College Players budget.
College Players also received
$1500 from the Social Committee. All $3000 was used for
the production. Revenue realized through ticket sales was
$1100, all of which was
returned by College Players to
the Social Committee. From
the above data, it would
appear that, if "Passing
Through" must be funded by
SCC, a more reasonable figure
of $2000 should be strongly
considered.
Working with the SCC funded fine arts organizations are
20 professional faculty members and about 20 paraprofessional students, all of whom
have been trained for many
years in their specific field.
How much professional
theatre experience has Mr.
Lebin had?
I don't think many students
understand the possible ramifications of SCC funding a
student organization which
does not even have a constitu
tion filed with SCC. An
analogous situation might be
one where several students
who are not involved with
soccer would like to be. So
they find a coach in the
philosophy department and
ask s e e to cover their travel
expenses, etc. This doesn't
seem to agree with what
should be the basic tenets of
the SCC Constitution. Many
organizations who have petitioned SCC for i.xognition and
have their Constitutions on file
have in the past few years
found decreases in their budgets and probably further
decreases will be called for
this year. Why is an "unorganization" receiving what
is essentially a $6000 allocation? It seems possible that we
do not have a well-managed
fiscal program here and that
some action should be taken to
correct the problem.

Black Cultural Society
President Lisa Byrd reported
that the Black Cultural Society
desired to have participants in
the two confrontations expelled from the college.
Ms. Byrd urged that
white members of the forum
audience acknowledge that
they are potential racists.
"We're hoping this afternoon that the faculty will see
that racism is something - that
of all us are potential racists
and have to deal with it and
not just brush it under the
rug," stated Ms. Byrd.
Certain faculty members
are racists and areinsttumental in spreading racism at the
college, said Ms. Byrd. She
emphasized tiie need for white
people to arrest the growth '^f
racism not soley for the black
student populus, but for the
maintenance of white people's
respect for others.
"Do you know that there
are faculty members who are
blatant racists?" People like
this are helping to spread
racism. It's not just for me or
for the rest of the black
students sitting here - it's for
you - you have to have respect
for yourself and respect for
others," Ms. Byrd said to
white members of the audience.

"So you've found out the

Emphasizing the need for white
students at the college to become more
sensitive to the problems confronting
the black student population, a college
psychology professor opened discussion
at the "Forum on Racism" held in
Bentley Hall Lounge, Wednesday, April
14 at 12:10.
"To some extent, I feel that what
we are trying to do here is to sensitize
you white students to some of the black
students' problems," said Mr. John
Brendel, "and to develop a solidarity so
that the white students will back the
black students in some ofthe things that
they want done on this campus."
Brendel, who arranged the forum
as a result of two violent incidents
participated in by white and black
students during the previous weekend,
facilitated discussion at the forum. He
said that the events which had occurred
among white and black students during
the weekend were not to be the main
issue ofthe forum and he did not wish to
emphasize the incidents during the
forum.
President of Kappa Delta Rho
(KDR) fraternity, Michael Wilhelm,
stated that he desires the issue to be
settled by the individuals involved and
strongly urged that the entire fi-atemity
not be blamed for the incidents until the
facts were reported.
"Personally my strongest feeling is
that it should not be looked upon as a
fraternity issue. All of this could have
been settled between two groups of
people," said Wilhelm.
Members of the Black Cultural
Society (B.C.S.) were called onto
express their viewpoints after Wflhelm
spoke but declined to do so until later in
the forum.
Formal charges had not been
brought against any ot the participants
in the two confrontations and the
incidents were still under investigation
at the time of the forum according to
Mr. Cari Nelson, Director of Campus
Law Enforcement. Dr. Russel Milliken,
vice president of the administration,
who was present at the forum, clarified
how the investigation was being conducted.
"The status of the investigation is
at two phases - the campus Law
Enforcement is investigating the incident whether or not it had racial
overtones is being investigated by the
state police and a representative of the
Human Relations Commission," stated
Dr. Milliken.

NARC sponsers Special Olympic games
By BILL MAHON
Following in her brothers'
footsteps Eunice Kennedy
Schriver has taken up the
banner of the humanitarian.
Ms. Schriver created Special
Olympics eight years ago so
that retarded people could
enjoy, and could be seen
enjoying the things other
people enjoy.
Few people will dispute
the excitement watching an
athlete, somebody who is the
best in the world, win. Cameras whirr, bulbs flash, and
hands start to shake as the
masses move in to be part of
"the great moment."
At a Special Olympics
there are many "great
moments." The littie girlrwho
jumps for the first time in her
life; the 12 year old boy who
throws a ball for the first time;
and the child who goes over a
very short high jump, all by
himself - - these are great
moments the biggest sports
fanatic probably never will
view.
You won't see anv records
broken at Special Olympics,
but you also won't see the
dejected face of a loser - everybody is a kind of winner.
The retarded child wins confidence in himself, and most
importantly wins the support
of the spectator who learns for
the first time that a retarded
person is very much a person.
We live in a society where
give is increasingly measured
in terms of the consequential
take. But what can you possibly gain from cheering or
helping a retarded child? Less
sleep, less studying and less
fiin-in-the-sun time. But you
may gain a lot.
The Special Olympics will
mean something different to
you depending on your position in the day's activities.
This is what it meant for Carl
Erskine, former all-star pitcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers,
whose son Jimmy has competed in a track event:
"When the gun went off,
the first thing he did was to
hold his ears. That put him
way behind, and he finished
dead last in his heat. But there
is no way of describing the
satisfaction of seeing Jimmy
just finish the race. Tears were
running down my face so hard
I could hardly take his picture."
In all 50 states and a
growing number of foreign
nations over 400,000 competitors are involved in Special
Olympics. Most people will
live their entire life never
coming into contact with a
retarded person. Can you shut
your eyes and ignore nearly
half a million people who are
reaching out trying to gain
your acceptance of their existoont. onpagoS

in question
To the editor,
Hil I was just passing
through and I thought I would
ask a few questions. Somehow
I can't quite get it straight in
my own head why we students
have to give $6,000 to "Passing Through..." I do not
mean to impugn the validity
of Mr. Lebin's enterprise, but
I do question the amount
involved.
From my own
limited knowledge I understand that the production costs
for the play are only around
$2,500. Why then the extta
$3,500? I have no doubt the
play will be very good and 1
intend to se it but somehow
this whole affair has a foul
odor to it. Could it be because
Mr. Heverly, the producers of
the play, is also one of the
most powerful members of our
student government. Indeed,
he even sits on the Senate
Appropriations Committee,
the very same committee that
controls the $6,000 inquestio
This kind of conflict of interest
gets people thrown out of
office in Washington. Furthermore, the S.C.C. now puts
the onus of the plays success
on the students. Ifwe don't all
plunk down our money for
tickets, the S.C.C, or rather
the students, lose a bundle.
First Ms. Borgese tells us
what a worthwhile production
the play is, then Mr. Shimer
tells us that "...there's no way
kids are going to pay $2.50."
Why not? If it's a good play
people will pay good money to
see it, if it isn't you can't force
people to go see it. $6,000 was
used to buy 3,000 tickets.
That's $2 per ticket. If we go,
we'll have to pay another $1 to
$1.50. According to my math,
this plan to reduce ticket
prices means that students will
now pay up $3.50 to see a play
that originally cost $2.50. Lest
you forget, that $6,000 didn't
just drop fi-om the sky; it
comes from that activity fee we
all paid in January, remember? The College Players keep

Feminist leader comes to LHS
By WENDY AKELEY
Staff Reporter
Florynce Kennedy, lawyer
lecturer, author, a founder of
the Feminist Party, and a
member of the National Black
Feminist Organization, will
appear at 8:00 p.m. in Sloan
Auditorium.
Kennedy is best known for
her activist campaign against
oppression in any form. She
has staged a Harvard Yard
"pee-in" to protest the lack of
women's toilets on campus
and a Hollyvvood Toilet Bowl
calling attention to the movie
industry's put-down of women
in films. Recentiy she has
taken the Catholic Church to
court, claiming that they
spend illegal amounts of
money on lobbying against
liberal abortion laws.
Born in Kansas City, Montana, Kennedy was taught
from an eariy age to believe in
her own importance and selfworth. Such a philosophy came
to her aid when she applied to
Columbia University's law
program, after completing her
pre-law studies there, and was
turned down in spite of her 'A'
average because she was
female. She succeded in entering the program, however,
with the help of some wellaimed letters of indignation in
which she threatened to de
nounce Columbia as racially
prejudiced at a time when the
school was under attack for its
racist admission policies.
After graduation, Kennedy
worked as a law clerk, then
began her own practice, working on unpopular cases and
associating with the poor and
the downtrodden.
Today she devotes her life to
her work, preaching her own
brand of humanitarian idealism and crusading against
oppression in any form. According to Kennedy, "There
are several kinds of oppression: personal, private, public,
and political. An example of
personal oppression is when
you husband hits you in the
mouth. Private oppression is
when you go for a job and they
say, 'We aren't interviewing
women for this job, but how
would you like to be Joe
Blow's secretary?' Public-

$6000 for one production of
questionable artistic merit? (5)
Last year's production of the
musical "The Apple Tree"
involved a minimum of 125
participants (actors, technicians, musicians, and stafO,
for which $1500 was allocated
in the College Players budget.
College Players also received
$1500 from the Social Committee. All $3000 was used for
the production. Revenue realized through ticket sales was
$1100, all of which was
returned by College Players to
the Social Committee. From
the above data, it would
appear that, if "Passing
Through" must be funded by
SCC, a more reasonable figure
of $2000 should be strongly
considered.
Working with the SCC funded fine arts organizations are
20 professional faculty members and about 20 paraprofessional students, all of whom
have been trained for many
years in their specific field.
How much professional
theatre experience has Mr.
Lebin had?
I don't think many students
understand the possible ramifications of SCC funding a
student organization which
does not even have a constitu
tion filed with SCC. An
analogous situation might be
one where several students
who are not involved with
soccer would like to be. So
they find a coach in the
philosophy department and
ask s e e to cover their travel
expenses, etc. This doesn't
seem to agree with what
should be the basic tenets of
the SCC Constitution. Many
organizations who have petitioned SCC for i.xognition and
have their Constitutions on file
have in the past few years
found decreases in their budgets and probably further
decreases will be called for
this year. Why is an "unorganization" receiving what
is essentially a $6000 allocation? It seems possible that we
do not have a well-managed
fiscal program here and that
some action should be taken to
correct the problem.

An explanation for the
presence of the state police on
campus was offered by Nelson
who reported that the Law
Enforcement officer on duty
attempted to prevent the situation but could not and called
for assistance firom the Lock
Haven Police, who notified the
state police.
Nelson stated that the
investigation is strictiy impartial and is dealing with possible violations of the Pennsylvania Crime Code while the
state police and a representative from the Human Relations
Commission are investigating
possible infringement of the
civil rights act.
"I'm treating this as an
unfortunate incident that need
not occur again. I don't see
any need for heavier security.
Our investigation is not based
on whether parties are black or
white. As Citizens of the

Name-calling which had
occured during the firstconfrontation between black and
white students was described
by one person who had been
directly involved in the incident. The student reported
that he heard such terms as
"Nigger" and "Kill the bastard."
.The same student reported that in the confusion he
was unable to distinguish
between people coming to his
aid and those antagonizing
him.
Creation of an atmosphere in which all students
feel at home is a major goal of
the Human RelationsCommittee on the state and local level
said Mr. Vincent Stewart,
committee chairman.
Stewart also maintained
that the use of violence in a
confrontation does not accomplish anything.
"Violence
itself - you don't do a damn
thing when people are hitting
each other. People who initiate physical violence should
be put aside," he stated.
Black Cultural Society
President Lisa Byrd reported
that the Black Cultural Society
desired to have participants in
the two confrontations expelled from the college.
Ms. Byrd urged that
white members of the forum
audience acknowledge that
they are potential racists.
"We're hoping this afternoon that the faculty will see
that racism is something - that
of all us are potential racists
and have to deal with it and
not just brush it under the
rug," stated Ms. Byrd.
Certain faculty members
are racists and areinsttumental in spreading racism at the
college, said Ms. Byrd. She
emphasized tiie need for white
people to arrest the growth '^f
racism not soley for the black
student populus, but for the
maintenance of white people's
respect for others.
"Do you know that there
are faculty members who are
blatant racists?" People like
this are helping to spread
racism. It's not just for me or
for the rest of the black
students sitting here - it's for
you - you have to have respect
for yourself and respect for
others," Ms. Byrd said to
white members of the audience.
Mr. Howard Seeley,Professor of Speicalized Studies of
the college, illustrated his
discussion with a history of
American racism and defined

can government. Seeley initially addressed bhwk members ofthe forum audience.
"So you've found out the
system is racist. Welcome to
America.
You ain't seen
nothing yet," said Seeley.
Seeley reported to the
audience that racism is unequalled and unexcelled because it is intellectually subtle
and happens to be those subtie
annoyances, which if persist,
grow into mistrust.
Institutional lying constitutes a basis on which the
country is built said Seele He
posed a question to the
audience concerning whether

truth to himself.
"You have a country and
a system which is built on institutionalized lying.
You
know I'm wondering who's the
most racist, the one who tells
you the truth, or the one who
keeps it from you," said
Seeley.
Seeley encouraged black
people to resort to violence of
an intellectual nature rather
than that of a physical nature.
"Black people remember
something.
I highly recommend the indulgence in
violence - intellectual violence.
