Acanfora

Given

Joseph Acanfora, a Penn
State graduate and a teacher in
Rockville, Maryland, filed suit
in the U.S. District Court in
Baltimore T u e s d a y after being
transferred to a nonteaching
position after h i s homosexual
affiliations became known to
school authorities.
J o s e p h Acanfora
III, 22,
an admitted homosexual,
is
s e e k i n g reinstatement to his
classroom position and attorn e y ' s fees. Defendants are the
Montgomery County Board of
Education,
the
Montgomery
County Public Schools, Superintendent Homer L . Elseroad,
Deputy Superintendent Donald
Miedema, and all present school
board members.
The
National
Education
Association and i t s s t a t e and
local affiliates, the Maryland
State
Teachers
Association
and
the Montgomery County
Education
Association,
are
supporting Acanfora's allegation that he w a s transferred
for
"constitutionally
impermissible"
r e a s o n s , violating
h i s rights under t h e Fourteenth
Amendment.

to fair treatment by their employers regardless of private
a s s o c i a t i o n s or unorthodox bel i e f s , " James T. Butler, director of N E A ' s DuShane Emergency Fund, said. Butler noted
that the fund, established to
protect the civil and professional rights of educators, " h a s
been consistent in supporting
t e a c h e r s whose classroom effectiveness is not adversely
affected by their exercise of
constitutionally protected rights
to privacy, free
expression,
political activity, and a s s o c i a tion l e a d e r s h i p . "
Acanfora, a resident of
Washington D . C , signed a contract this summer to t e a c h
earth s c i e n c e during the 197273 school year at Parkland
Junior High School in Rockville.
On Sept. 26 he received a letter
from Miedema explaining that
he was being transferred temporarily from his classroom
teaching assignment to a nonteaching position in the Montgomery County Public Schools*
Department of Curriculum and
Instruction. Acanfora has never
been given a hearing and his
requests for reinstatement to
the classroom have been r e fused.

Position;

Sues
Acanfora, after his affiliation
with the homosexual group became known, had been s u s pended from student teaching
by a district in the State College, P a . , area having a c o operative arrangement with Penn
State. He sued the district and
was reinstated within a week.
Neither his teaching ability nor his competence was at
issue in Pennsylvania or Maryland.

According to the complaint
filed today, articles appearing
in Washington D . C , and New
York City newspapers Sept. 25
reported that Acanfora, who
belonged to a homosexual group
while a student at Pennsylvania
State
University,
had
been
granted
teaching
credentials
by the Pennsylvania State Secretary of Education
The articles revealed thai

Future

Two-test Courses Deenned Unfair
C o u r s e s which only offer
a midterm and a final as t e s t s
prove to be unfair. Many students have found that there is
a lack of " s t i m u l i " in t h e s e
c o u r s e s . They may let their
s t u d i e s slack and then cram
before the test, which is not
a real learning p r o c e s s . In
other c l a s s e s where quizes and
t e s t s come at a more frequent
rate, the students are more
" o n their t o e s " toward that
subject.
There is no real workload
or homework in these two-test
c o u r s e s . When a person is told
to read ten chapters for the final,
he h a s to proceed at his own
speed and may not start his
work for quite a while. If this
c l a s s had been one where the
possibility of being quizzed for
a few chapters is present, the
student is almost sure to study
the material more
frequently
than he would have on his own.
One i s not able to know whether
he is keeping up or not.
T h e possibility e x i s t s that
a person may feel ill or may
have an emotional upset, such
as the loss of a relative, girlfriend, or a family d i s p u t e ,
on the day of the test. This
person may then take the t e s t
and fail it. Given a normal
situation, however, this very
same person may be more studious for the final and p a s s it
with flying colors. Because of
the first d i s a s t e r , he will fare
a low grade for the course.
There is the possibility
that some of the s t u d e n t ' s c l a s s
notes are incorrect. In here a
quiz would be very valuable
for it would s e r v e to rectify
any
misinformation
obtained

from the course. More t e s t s and
quizzes are n e c e s s a r y . Teachers
of the courses in which this
suggestion was put into practice would find that their students would enjoy their course
more and have a better knowledge of the information.

Faculty Ignoring
Own Unlimited
Cuts Regulation?
The system of unlimited
cuts at Lock Haven State is
being disregarded by the coll e g e ' s instructors. The privilege
of being able to cut any c l a s s
at any time was voted to become
a standard rule at Lock Haven.
Yet c l a s s attendance is still
considered a factor in a student's grade by some professors.
T e a c h e r s have been known
to declare that no student,
regardless of h i s test grades,
will p a s s u n l e s s c l a s s e s are
attended regularly. Is it because
they are interested in c l a s s
participation or because lecturing to half a c l a s s is a
" w a s t e of t i m e " ?
Since the issue has been
voted on by faculty members
themselves and students have
been granted the liberty to cut
c l a s s e s , they should not be
penalized for their decision.
Students should feel free to take
advantage of this opportunity
without
worrying about
the
risk of lowering their average.
Therefore, all faculty members
begin to observe the regulations
which have been approved.

CONSIDER...

latest increase in fees by the
state stems from the fact that
dormitories of the State Colleges
are not self supporting. Therefore
it was felt by the Board of State
College and University Directors
that a more equitable share of
the cost could be shared by the
residents.
The matter was
brought to a heap recently due
to the substantial cut in the
State College budget by the
Pennsylvania
legislature.
This cut is forcing the colleges
to work with l e s s money while
combatting
the rising c o s t s
in dorm operation and maintaine n c e . The extra dollar per
week will help to e a s e the
situation by contributing to the
cost of maintaining a dormitory.
Pennsylvania Secretary of
Education, John Pittenger, notified the fourteen State Colleges
of the increase in a memo dated
September 1. The Board of State
College and University Directors
which decided to raise the fee
made the initiation of this
increase optional for the
first
s e m e s t e r of this school
year
(fall) but manditory for the
second s e m e s t e r , (spring)

9-12 p.m.

Lock Haven's mini-basketball team took the floor Wednesday night. The desire was ihere,
and the defense was 'here, hut
the inches weren't. The end result was a 62-51 victory for
Clarion.
Clarion had three and four
shots at a time, while Lock
Haven had to drop back fifteen
and punt after their first shot
went up. This is not a knock on
Harold McKenzie or Gary Knepp.
They kept battling, but it gets
frustrating when you go up against a front line that averages
6 ' 5 " . Harold is 6 ' 4 " and Gary
is 6 ' 2 " . There was a time when
Gary was the tallest player for
Lock Haven on the flrwr. Clarion
had a lineup on the floor that
didn't have a man under 6 ' 2 " .
Six-two, six feet, five-eleven is
a formidable front line for a
junior high school, but it won't
impress too many c o l l e g e s . It
should be pointed out here that
6 ' 0 " Rick Mller and 5 ' H " John
Miller are not normally forwards.
They are a pair of good guards
who happen to be taller than
5 ' 1 0 " John Marzlak. 5 ' 9 " Warren Goodling, and 5*5" Spencer
Johnson. Welcome to the forward
spot. Rick and John.
Some help could be in store
