Yearbook threatens Publications
Although the L.H.S.C.
Student Publications has been
included in the proposed SCC
budget for next year, there
may be no Student Publications to fund in a year from
now.
The problem, according to
Student Publication Board
(SPB) Treasurer Jim Bambrick
is a simple one. "People
aren't buying the yearbooks."
In years passed, the yearbook has been considered a
risk because of the price of
having it printed. Yearbooks
are supposed to be, along with
EAGLE EYE advertising, the
chief source of anticipated
revenue to help sustain Publications' costs, but it has
proven to be an unaffordable
expense.
"We are budgeted for
1,000 books next year," Bambrick stated, "but if there isn't
an upswing in sales this year.

I really can't see the feasibility
of having a yearbook at all."
What is really puzzling to
SPB members is the low sales
in respect to the high quality

and low price of this year's
PRAECO.
Bambrick, who served as
this year's PRAECO editor, is
at a loss to explain the lack ot

Cross-country trip plannedfor summer
By J I M DORAN
Staff Reporter
Lock Haven State College
will offer a 31 day crosscountry geographical trip as a
bonafide college course reported Mr. Ted Enger, Assistant
Professor of Geo-sciences at
Lock Haven State.
The a d m i n i s t r a t i o n
cleared the program as a six
credit course this year. Three
credits will go towards lab
requirements and three as
regular credits. The credits
can neither damage nor raise a
student's overall grade point
average.
Enger commented that
the program is open to students regardless of their major.

"The trip," said Enger,
"is for anybody that c:s-\
qualify as a college student.
It would be a good course if
you needed to fulfill a lab
science," he said.
The trip is slated to begin
June 7, and to end July 9. The
students participating in the
field trip will visit cultural, as
well as natural landmarks.
Points of interest on the
trip's itinerary will include The
Black Hills and the Mount
Rushmore monument area.
Salt Lake City is scheduled to
be visited by the group, where
the students will spend three
days exploring the lake and
the Morn.on section of the
town. Mount Rainer is also in
the itinerary, which Is one of
the tallest mountains in the
continental 48 states. Snowfall

on Rainer has set a worid's
recorf' .otalling 90 feet in one
seasoh.
Among other scheduled
stops are Pacific Rain Forests,
Grand Cooley Dam, and Sun
Valley.
According to Enger the
overall cost for the 31 day field
trip which will be charged to
the student is estimated at 7001
dollars. This includes tuition,
activity fee, tolls, admissions,
guide books, lodging and van
rentals from the Student Cooperative Council (S.C.C).
"The cost," said Enger,
"is based on having 15 people
in each ofthe S.C.C. vans."

FamUy Ufe theme of one acts performed
By W E N D Y AKELEY
Staff Reporter

Three College Player oneacts, produced over Parents'
Weekend in the Studio Theatre in Sloan, presented different views of family unity
and life in general.
Edward Albee's "American Dream" used an absurd
situation to point out realities
such as the public's image of
family life. His characters
represent familiar types of
people as one can tell from
their names: Mommy played
by Ann Chomik, Daddy played
by Ken Showman, and Grandma played by Deb Klens.
The Van Man, a young
stud, arrives in a typical American household, to take
Grandma away from Mommy
subsequently falls in love with
him. Mrs. Baker is an additional character who, having
been invited to make herself
comfortable^ removes her
dress and spends the rest of
the show in her slip.
It was obvious that the
show was under-rehearsed
and under-directed; perhaps
Showman spread himself too
thin by both acting and directing. Yet lengthy as the show
was, the combined talent of
the people involved managed
to bring out Albee's views on
insecurity and the treatment of
the elderiy in modern American life.
Brian Stoppe's production, "Adaptation," was definitely the best of the one-acts.
Using simple costumes and

next to no set at all, the four
actors involved, played a very
convincing game of life. Phil,
humbly played by Rich Kline,
follows the caustic, often impatiently delivered directions
of the Gamesmaster Kim
Coon, as he would the voice of
God.
Along with Felice
Proctor, who ably assumed the
various female roles, and
Larry Harris, portraying the
rest of the males from Phil's
mentally unendowed best
friend to a superbly funny
black liberal, Phil scrambles to
collect success cards, add up
maturity points, and land on
security squares.
He eventually succumbs
to a heart attack, but before he
dies, he climbs on a soapbox
and, complete with "The
Battle Hymn of the Republic"
being hummed
hummed in
in the
u.v back
^--^

ground, describes all the
things he wanted for himself
and his family. This includes a
built in swimming pool, a
house in the country, and the
ability to "eat without fear."
Stoppe's direction was
marvelous, especially in handling the actor's movements
as they jumpedfi-omone role
to another. The show flowed
smoothly, and the pace speeded up in accordance with the
rapidity of events in Phil's life.
Although the overall staging
was precisely structured to
avoid confusion, the actors
seemed to have freedom to
develop their characters themselves.
The third and last production was "The Hunted,"
directed by Kim Coon. The
play is written in a wordy,

Now that pre-registration
is over and students are
submitting to the fact that due
to popular demand, instead of
obtianing an enrollment card
for Fundamentals of Speech,
they have to settle for Underwater Basketweaving; the conversation turns fi-om, "Which
courses are you going to
register for?" to "Which
course are you taking PassFail?"
The Pass-Fail option has
stirred recent interest on this
campus. Students in Social
Work Practice II have conducted a survey on the issue. Of
major concern in the survey
was to find out whether

students at Lock Haven
though there was an adequate
span of time (5 days) in which
to exercise the Pass-Fail
option. According to the survey, approximately 92% ofthe
students feel that the option
should be extended, and exerciseable an average of 5 weeks
into the semester. This similar
to Penn State's policy which
allows one third of the trimester
for
PassFail decisions to be made.

The Professional Studies
division of the college is
offering courses during both of
the summer sessions. In the
first session the courses scheduled to be taught by Dr.
Perry Brown are "School and
the Community," and "School
Law". The second session
courses on the summer academic agenda are "Computer
Uses in the Classroom," and
"Supervision of Student
Teachers". These two are to
be taught by Mr. David Fetter
Associate Professor of Professional Studies.
"The course School and
the Community," said Dr.
Donald Fostvedt, Chairman of
the Professional Studies Department, "will take many
field trips to various schools in
the area." "These trips will
allow the students to see the
schools and their programming."

added.
Fostvedt reported that
"Computer Uses in the Classroom" will consist of a study
depicting various ways one can
use the computer and will
require a prerequisite of an
introductory computer course.
"Supervision of Student

in-service teachers who plan to
supervise student teachers in
the future. "This course is
