Lock Haven losing money on college
By TINA BROOKS
Staff Reporter
members of the Town-Gown
committee, as the municipal
representatives call themselves, presented the Governor's representatives with
tax statements showing how
much money the communites

According to Taggart,
The city of Lock Haven
is concerned about the loss of
funds to the community
because Lock Haven State
College is tax exempt. All
State-owned institutions in
Pennsylvania, including stateowned colleges and universities, are tax exempt by law,
but the communities still provide services such as fire

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.

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.

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.

Over 25 anticipated
to enter Grand Prix
The richest road race in the
worid, the Grand Prix of the
United States, will be held
during the weekend of October
3, 4 and 5.
More than
$350,000. will be at stake
during the 200 mile race which
is the only event in this
country that will count for the
World Championship for Drivers (WCD).
This year's race, which will
be held at the Grand Prix
circuit in Watkins Glen, N.Y.,
is the seventeenth consecutive
race in this country. It is the
fourteenth and final round in
the series of road racing
circuits throughout the world
which counts for points in the
WCD. Points counting toward
the WCD are given to the first
six finishers of each Grand
Prix, with points awarded on a
9-6-4-3-2-1 basis.
Highlighting the battle
during the two days of practice
and qualifying and the race
itself will be challenges to
Austria's Niki Lauda, who has
won this year's WCD.
More than 25 of the world's
top drivers will challenge the
Glen circuit that covers slight-
ly over three miles. Drivers
are expected to average more
than 120 miles per hour.
Though an American has
never won the United States
Grand Prix title, Mario Andretti and his team partner Brett
Lunger will try to snap the
string.
Other contenders
trying to capture places in the
WCD point standings are
reigning world champion
Emerson Filtipoldi of Brazil,
last year's Grand Prix winner
Carlos Reutemann of Argentina; and England's James
Hunt. All three are battling
for second place World
Championship honors.
The American sponsored
Universal Oil Products' Shadow team with France's Jean
Pierre Jorier and England's
Tom Pryce behind the wheels
will also be seeking to win the
American classic for their
sponsors. The Shadows won
the Can-Am Series last year,
and this year's duo helped
make competition tough in
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,
giving Ferrari its first Worid Champion since 1964 when
England's John Surtees turned the trick. Lauda will seek to
be the first Ferrari driver in history to win the Grand Prix of
Italy's LenaLombwdi, the ^^ United States when the American classic takes the green
first woman to ever score *lag at Watkins Glen, N.Y.

'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
lock haven losing money
cont. from page 1
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.

'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
lock haven losing money
cont. from page 1
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.

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.
