Lock Haven losing money on college

According to Taggart,

The city of Lock Haven

EAGLE EYE

Abolish the reading list now
Lock Haven's liberal arts required reading list is all too
typical of the species of rules which dominate institutionalized policies. Even though found to be nonproductive and
opposed by nearly everyone, it remains in effect because
students can graduate with less difficulty than required to
push the list's abolishment through the cesspool kno%vn as
administrative channels.
Theoretically the reading list Is Intended to supplement a
liberal arts major's education by exposing him to respected
literary works.. What it amounts to, however, is merely an
excercise in professor chasing on the part of students,
handwriting on the part of professors, and bookeeping on the
part of Dean Williamson's secretary.
The only real education gained through the reading list is
the development of a student's skill in beating the system,
and an appreciation of the absurd techniques used by
bureauCTacles to keep dying regulations alive.
The liberal arts reading list has degenerated to the point
where a uniform standard for testing students no longer
exists. Because of the list's enormous unpopularity, and
because people are detecting errors in the requirement, a
growing movement exists to bypass the regulation and
complete the requirement only as a formality. Individual
interpretations are developing.

People^places and things

On Thursday the faculty curriculum committee will hear a
proposal to abolish the list. The proposal marks the latest
attempt to officially discontinue the reading list, and the
EAGLE EYE hereby supports it.
There are, after all, several good reasons for its
discontinuance.
In addition to the unpopularity and
nonexistant structure, the list is unfair in that It requires
liberal arts majors [for no credit] to comply with a reglation
education majors aren't bothered with.
But the real arguement lies with the list's supporters.
Unless they can demonstrate sufficient reason for continuing
the reading list, we should do away with It. Nobody wants
the list and even fewer people understand it.

SUBMISSION POUCY:
Clubs, organizations, etc.
wishing to submit releases
to the Eagle Eye are urged
to do so. However, submissions must be legibly
written on every other line
or

double spaced; they must

information can be verified
if necessary. Annoimcements printed on a space

Guest remembers LHS 52 years lafer
In the summer of 1923,
Mrs. Ada McCormick came to
the campus of the Central
State Normal School in Lock
Haven to instruct a group of
teachers in the Camp Fire
Program and to give her "Art
of Living" course to some of
the students.
At the time, Mrs. McCormick was living in Williamsport, where she had
established a nondenominational chapel in her home four
years earlier, in 1919. In 1931,
she moved to Tucson, Arizona

with her husband, where she
was to establish the Little
Chapel of All Nations "to
promote the God-seeking impulses in mankind" and to
publish Letter Magazine,
which promoted human rights
issues.
When she left Lock Haven,
Mrs. McCormick took with her
a copy of the "Summer
Session Bulletin of Information" and the "General Catalog" for 1923-24.
This past summer, a year
after her death at age 86 in

August 1974 and 52 years
later, these two publications
were returned to Lock Haven
State College by the trustees
of her estate, along with the
notification that Mrs. McCormick had bequeathed $500.
to the college in her will.
College officials can only
speculate that Mrs. McCormick must have enjoyed
her summer in Lock Haven in
1932 since, to anyone's knowledge, that was her only
contact with the local college.

nearly every Grand Prix event.

NUMBER ONE -• Niki Uuda, the 26 year Austrian who
drives with a coolness which belies his years, is the new
World Champion. Lauda, only the second from his country to
ever win the crown, has driven a Ferrari to the title this year,

'Frontiers of Thought' series

Redpath to offer insight on James
America's first great
philospher, William James, is
the subject of this season's
first faculty lecture in the
"Frontiers of Thought" series. Dr. Peter Redpath of the
philosophy department will
speak on Jarae's radical
empiricism tomorrow at 8:00
p.m. in Ulmer Planetarium.
Radical empiricism is
the term James used to
describe his philosophy, which
proposed that an idea's meaning is based upon experience
and stressed the importance of
the individual.
William James (1842-

1910) was both a psychologist
and a philosopher. He was a
pioneer in making psychology
a laboratory science. In philosophy, he emphasized free will
and the importance of the
individual's
experiience. He is perhaps best
known for his book on "Pragmatism."
Dr. Redpath was graduated "cum laude" from lona
College and received his M.A.
and PhD. in philosophy from
the State University of New
York at Buffalo. He has had a
personal and professional
interest in the philosophy of

added. He also said that this
figure does not include what
the college would pay in
county and school district
taxes; the total figure would be
$204,133.50.
The city manager
stated that the Town-Gown
committee was formed several
years ago to try to alleviate
the problems caused by the tax
exempt colleges and universities. Taggart said that they
want "a bit more recognition
on the part of the legislature.''
Senate Bill #231, which provides that each community
which has a state-owned college would be paid $2. for each
student enrolled in the institu
tion, has been in committee
with no action since February
11. Under this bill, said
Taggart, Lock Haven would
receive approximately $4,848.
"The bill does set a precedent.
One door is open and you can
look for additional funding,"
he added.
Although the colleges
do have a bad impact on the
financial operations of the
communities, Taggart feels
that the benficial impact
should not be overlooked. He
stated that "problems aren't
made by the college, but by
the legislators." The city
manager called the college the
"biggest industry we have in
Lock Haven," and said that it
offers the following advantages: it creates jobs; employees live in the area and are
taxable; students bring busi-

ness into the community;
students living off-campus
cause a housing shortage
which increases the rent; and
cultural affairs are brought to
the community.
"The city does enjoy a
good relationship with the
college and we are not adversaries in any sense of the
word. Cooperation has been
real good," stated the city
manager. For example, noted
Taggart, any time the college
has added a facility they
obtained a permit, even
though they didn't fall under
local zoning regulations and
subdivision codes and aren't
required to have a permit. He
pointed out that this doesn't
include the fraternity houses
since they are off-campus.
"The campus wants to do
things right," concluded
Taggart.

William James since his
undergraduate years.
The lecture,fi-eeto the
public, will offer an insight
into the views of a great
American thinker who triumphed over both personal
illness and worid-wide indifference.
