cashing policy. [Photo by BRUCE RUBIN].
At the April 6 senate
meeting, the Senate Appropriations Committee
brought forth to the senate
some of the proposed cuts
for next year's SCC budget.
One of the major proposed
cuts was that of the men's
football
team.
SAC
explained to the senate that
because
the
budget
requests were forty
to
forty-five thousand dollars
over what the SCC could
budget, the committee
went through the proposed
budget and made cuts. By
cutting men's football,
which has expenditures of

Bolduc prepares for presidency
KAREN WEIDNER
Jayne Bolduc, First Vice
President of the Student
Cooperative Council will be
come President this coming
1977 fall semester c ue to
Mike Hanna's, current SCC
President's, graduation.
Bolduc is a junior at Lock
Haven State College and is
looking forward very much
to becoming President of
the SCCr Bolduc stated, "I
learned about the SCC
really well after working
with Mike. I can do it now.
Had there not been a
re-election I wouldn't have
been as confident as I am
now."
Bolduc stated that once
she is President, she would
like to see more work done
in the improvement of the
advisor and student relationships. "With the 2.0
cum in effect, I believe
students are going to need
their advisors more than
they do now," commented
Bolduc. She also stated that
she would like to see more
students involved such as
the senate is now, conducting the faculty evaluations.
"I would like to see more of
this nature," Bolduc
added.
Bolduc first became
interested in the SCC after
being tired of being
apathetic. She became an
off-campus senator last fall
and then Vice President.
When President, one of
Bolduc's main interests will
be to coordinate the
students' interests with the
interests of the administration. "I want to work
with
the
students,"
commented Bolduc.
She plans on continuing
much of what is being done
now with the SCC. She
plans on representing the
students' opinions whether
good or bad and communi-
cating these opinions to the
administration. "I plan to
continue things that were
started this semester,"
stated Bolduc, "such as the
Eagle Wing project, student activity fee, check
cashing policy, and teacher
evaluations."
Bolduc and the Executive
Committee have not yet
decided
who will be
chosen for First Vice
President of the 1977 fall
semester.
As for Bolduc running for
President in the Novenlber
elections, she replied. "It
all depends on how the fall
goes."
CAS discusses the internal financial crisis
An internal financial
crisis was the main issue
dealt with at the Commonwealth Association of Students' Conference held April
1-3.
CAS is in great financial
trouble reported Mike
Buckwash, CAS coordinator at LHS. "To operate on
the same level we are now,
the CAS needs 15,00
dollars. We need at least
8,000 dollars to operate at
all," Buckwash explained.
Many cutbacks have
already taken place concerning the CAS. Telephone
calls, travel and aftendance
at certain meetings and
conference have been limited. The organization has
suspended the publication
of it's newspaper. Activist,
indefinately. Michael Sommers CAS assistant director
will tentatively be laid off in
May and Eugene T.
Carroll, Executive Director
will take a cut in salary.
The membership drive
conducted by the CAS was
unsuccessfiil. There are
only 850 paying members
in the CAS. Only one third
of the students at LHS are
members. "We must have
the support of the majority
of the students on campus
to continue with CAS,"
stated Buckwash.
There is a high possibility that the CAS could
go under . according to
Mike Hanna, President of
the SCC. Should it go
under, the students would
have no state wide lobbying
group. "Each campus
would have to sponsor
there own lobbying group,
which would be almost
financially impossible,"
stated Hanna.
An external financial
crisis, the battle of freezing
basic fee costs
the state
colleges and university of
Pennsylvania, is being
worked on at a 100 percent
capacity. "Our Fees Freeze
Fight is getting the most
attention because that's
what our students are most
concerned with at the
moment," stated Nathan L.
Gadsden, CAS President.
thousand dollars, the SCC
would still be twenty to
twenty-five
thousand
dollars over on their
budget. The SAC said that
with the football proposals
and the present cuts, the
balance of the SCC budget
is still five thousand dollars
short. SAC reminded the
senate that these cuts were
all considerations—there
have been no budget
hearings as of yet.
The senate then voted on
and approved the check
cashing
policy.
The
finalized policy briefly
stated that the campus
store will now be cashing
only personal checks up to
S25.0i0; no pavable checks
will be cashed; and
students, faculty, and
administrators must
present a valid ID to cash a
check. A recommendation
was made to the SAC to
investigate the possibility
of having a sixty dollar
ceiling on the cashing of
payroll checks.
A summary of the
Affirmative
Action
Proposal was brought
before the senate and was
recognized.
The
Affirmative Action document stated the expectations of the student

Faculty cooperation aids evaluators
By B. MONTANYA
Teacher cooperation was
the keynote to the success
of the faculty evaluations,
which will, for the most
part, be completed at
this week's end. Jayne
Bolduc, Vice-President of
the SCC, stated that about
90 percent of the faculty
were willing to devote class
time for the evaluations.
If the teachers refused to
grant class time, the forms
were distributed before
class and were returned to
designated boxes in the
Library and the PUB. If
class time was granted, the
instructor was given the
right to review his or her
evaluations and add a
comment, before they were
sent to the publisher.
The evaluation form was
developed by the SCC
Faculty Evaluations
Committee with the aid of
an advisor. All depart-
governments for Affirmative Action. The document
covers items that are
related to insuring that
minority students are given
equal consideration in
student government activities.
Mike Landen, the new
Social Committee Chairperson reported that a
Sound Equipment Seminar
will be held April 21.
Thereafter, only certified
operators will be able to
sign out the sound equipment. Landen also stated
that the Social Committee
is in need of student

LETTERS TO THE EDTTOR * LETTERS TO THE EDFTOR
Dale blasts "dumb jock" prejudice
c^rts Calendar
To the Editor:
I am tired of it! Tired 1
For four years I have put up
with being called a jock, the
latter term usually associated with assorted
negative adjectives. Up to
now, I have accepted it,
always considering the
source-Lock Haven State
College students. But when
a physics professor, a supposedly learned individual,
blasts away at my chosen
profession in the Eagle
Eye, I cannot drop back and
punt with "jock"ringing in
my ears.
First of all, the physical
education curriculum is
constantly accused of containing " d u m b j o c k s " ,
students who know nothing
but the agony of a torn
medical meniscus or the
ecstasy of slamming a goal
right where it belongs. I am
not trying to brag, but I
have a 3.557 Cumulative
Quality Point Average; I am
a member of Kappa Delta
Pi, a national honor society
in education;and, instead of
going on with my academic
achievements, suffice to
say that I am not a dumb
jock. And I know many of
my colleagues who have
excelled similarly. It
pleases me no end that the
other curriculums contain
only straight-A students
who are intellectually superior, psychologically
sound, and complete benefits to society.
Another point worth
mentioning is the fact that
in recent years physical
education has come to
be regardedas an academic
discipline, no different
from physics or psychology.
It is a science; gone are the
days of throwing out the
basketball and yelling, "Go
to it, boys!" Finally it is a
well-known fact that regular exercise and physical
activity
have a direct
correlation with good health, and probably longevity.
Without a doubt, a person
who is fit feels better while
he is alive. Therefore, I
relinguish all sit-behindthe- deskprofessorsto their
fates, and will merrily go
running along the beach in
the summer catching frisbees twenty years after
they have all dropped dead
of coronary arrest. Long
live physical education!
Rick Dale
Sohnleitner says rec-room staff is reliable
Letter to Editor
I am writing this letter
firstly to apologize to the
student who approached
me April 5th
about
rec-room employee's not
showing up for work. I was
busy with a job interview
and did not give him the
time he deserved. If he
would come down to the
office I will explain to him
the problem I am faced with
and what I am doing to
rectify the work situation.
I am in charge of hiring
rec-room employee's. So
when these students fail to
show for work students
come to me for expanations. This is their right
because it is my responsibility. The student above
said that the employees'
never show up for work. I
disagree with that vehemently. I feel the staff is
reliable. He suggested I
should fire them and get
people that want to work. I
wish life was that easy.
For one, I am only
allowed to hire work-study
students. This eliminates
95% of the students on
campus. Another thing is
when these students miss
work it is usually for a good
reason. Everybody has
unforseen circumstances
that cause them to miss a
scheduled appointment ocassionally.
Remember these employee's are fellow students. They need money. I
could fire someone every
time they didn't show up
for work but I think that's
asinine. It wouldn't alleviate the problem only
worsen it. Try to remember
that nobody is perfect. We
all make mistakes. If I feel
someone is missmg work
continually then I would
resort to firing. As it ''tands
now no one does.
Club praised by TTiomas —
To the Editor:
I would like to take this
opportunity to thank Fred
DeStolfo and Rick Di Wald
of the Karate Club of Lock
Haven State College. At
last minute notice when a
scheduled program was
endangered, they gave it
their time and expertise.
Last week's program on
Rape and Self Defense was
a success largely due to
them. It seemed that
something a little more
than the usual thank you
note was in order.
Thank you,

Deibert comments on Hanna-Bolduc affluence
To the Editor:
Our beloved SCC leaders
are only now beginning to
fulfill
their
assorted
campaign promises. As of
April 12, 1977, personal
checks that are $25 or less
will be cashed at the
Bookstore, minus the 10
cents charge. No longer will
the paycheck of the
employed student on
campus be honored, even if
it is our only source of
income. We employees
must now:
1) open accounts in a
Lock Haven bank, even
though many of us have
done so in our hometown,
2) saunter to the A & P
every payday, or
3) begin a running
collection of Robert E.
Casey signatures.
It was my understanding
that during the campaign
the Hanna-Bolduc team
sought to do away with the
10 cents checking fee. They
have succeeded in accomplishing this goal, but in the
process have unfortunately
infringed upon the privileges of the widely-
r e p r e s e n t e d working
student body.
As two adults, whom
have probably never gone
without or have had to
WORK to get anywhere;
Really Mr. Hanna and Ms.
Bolduc, your affluence is
showing.
Sincerely,
B. L. Deibert
Enjoyment of science stressed at open house
KAREN WEIDNER
The Annual
Spring
Science Open House will be
held on Thursday, April 21,
from 9 am to 2 pm.
The open house will
consist of three biology
d e m o n s t r a t i o n s , two
physics demonstrations,
two chemistry demonstrations and two demonstrations given by the geoscience club.
"The geoscience club
will be demonstrating two
t h i n g s , " stated Donald
Green, chairman of geoscience, " t h e sciences
around the science building
and also campus life at Lock
Haven State College, such
as sports and fraternities
and sororities."
Green stated that the
main purpose of the affair
is for recruitment purposes
and a community service.
" W e like to recruit
j u n i o r s , " commented
Green, "that way they can
see what LHS is like before
they
choose
other
colleges." Green also siad
that there are a lot of
careers in the sciences, but
they have a reputation of
being difficult. Green
added, "This open house
may show the students that
not only are the sciences a
good career but also very
enjoyable."
The science open house
is given by students on a
voluntary basis. There will
be twelve demonstration
locations, and students will
be available to answer
questions. "The science
faculty is also present at the
open house," stated Green,
"and are very willing and
eager to answer any
questions."
Green commented that
the department tries to
erase the stereotype of
males being associated
with the sciences, espec-
ially geoscience, by putting
males and females together
behind a particular demonstration to answer any
questions.
The high schools and
faculty invited are within a
commuting distance. "We
usually get around 250
students," added Green.
When the students arrive
on campus, they are given a
meal ticket and are told a
little about the college in
general. They are also
asked to sign their name
on a sheet. After the open
house, a letter is then sent
to each student expressing
the science department's
thanks and appreciation.
Green stated that not
only is this open house a
good opportunity for high
school students, but also
for the college students
presenting the demonstrations.
Green commented,
"Refreshments will be
served and everyone is
invited."
Annual Greek weekend activities
set for weekend of April 23-25
By T E R R I C O R N E L I U S
This year's annual Greek
Weekend, involving fraternities and sororities on
campus, will be held April
23-25.
"Greek Weekend is the
biggest event of the year
for the fraternities and
s o r o r i t i e s , " stated Gail
Willits, President of Panhellenic Council. "Though
there is a Winter Greek
Weekend, it doesn't involve as many activities as
the one in the spring."
The activities will begin
on the evening of the 23rd
with a Round Robin Each
fraternity will have five
kegs of beer on hand and all
the sororities and fraternities will travel from house
to house. The fraternity
parties are closed to
non-Greek that night.
Quick recovery from
Friday partys will be
required for Saturdayafternoon raft races. A trophy
will be presented to the
winning fraternity and
sorority. Saturday's activities will topped off with a
dance at the Sieg Conference Center. A roasted
pig,clams, and about twenty kegs of beer will be
provided for any hungry or
thirsty Greek.
The annual Greek Olympians will be the finale of
the weekend.Chosen olympians from each frater-
nity and sorority will
compete in at least seven of
the ten events.There will be
five "fun" events such as
the sweat pants race and
five serious events such as
the mile relay and softball
throw. The events will be
judged by either the faculty
or the Physical Education
Department.
The fraternities and
sororities are raffling off
five hundred dollars or a
color television to pay for
the weekend. They plan to
sell $3,510 dollars worth of
tickets in which half will go
towards Spring Greek
Weekend and the other half
will go to next Winter's
Greek Weekend.

EAGLE EYE
A Day in the Life of Sgt. Bulldog Hansen
I was recently sent on a very challenging assignment. I
had to spend a day with Sgt. Bulldog Hansen of Law
Enforcement and write a story about what an average
campus security officer does on an average day. It was most
illuminating to say the least. I invite you to read this column
if you are the least bit curious about how Law Enforcement
operates.
Sgt. Hansen was informed of my plans and agreed to
cooperate with me. So on Tuesday morning we met down at
the campus headquarters and he asked me to join him in the
van while he did his morning patrol. While riding around
with Sgt. Hansen, two things became readily apparent.
Number one: he was a lousy driver. Number two: if he
would watch the road as carefully as he watched th girls
walking across campus, his driving would improve
immensely.
Soon the morning patrol was over and as we pulled back
into the parking lot, a silly grin started to spread over
Bulldog's face. "Now it's time," he said gleefully, "for
Project Periscope."
"Project Periscope?" I asked puzzled.
"Yes. That's where an officer walks along by the wall of a
dorm and looks in the first floor windows, scanning the
rooms for illegal substances of any kind. We've nailed more
kids tht way! It's a very effective operation and it can also be
a helluva lot of fun!"
"How's that?"
"Well we don't just look through the windows of the
men's dorms you know."
"Sgt. Hansen, I don't want to seem impertinent but I
think there's some question here as to whether you're doing
detective work or being a Peeping Tom. You guys an est
people for sneaking around and looking through windows.
How come it's OK for yoa to do it?"
"You don't understand. When an ordinary citizen looks
through a window he's a Peeping Tom. When a police
officer looks through a window he's doing surveillance work.
Pretty soon we're gonna have stilts so that we can get up to
the second and third and even the seventh story windows.
Then nobody will be safe!"
Just then Bulldog got a call on his walkie-talkie. Having
[
with Keith Vemon
long been fascinated by this form of police efficiency, I
leaned over and listened to the message.
"Hansen? Are you there?" said a voice through the
static.
"Yeah this is Hansen, go ahead."
"The poker game's about to start if you still wanna play.
The guys are really looking forward to taking your money."
Quickly Hansen clicked the machine off. "Those guys..."
he said with a strained laugh. "Always makin' with the
jokes."
We walked back to the van and Hansen was trying hard to
make conversation in an attempt to avoid the awkward
silence that the walkie-talkie message had created. He
started asking me stupid questions like, "How are your
classes going?", "Isn't the weather too much?" and "What
are the names of the big dealers on campus?"
Hansen informed me that it was time for him to tour the
parking lot and look for parking violations. Occasionally he
would catch a person in the act of parking illegally and when
he did, he would take great delight in giving that person a
lecture right out of The Hard Guy Handbook. The Hard Guy
Handbook is a handy pocket-size book which is issued to
every law enforcement officer in the country. It contains
dozens of hard guy lectures for almost every occasion and
even such things as how to wear your hat to took tough and
menacing. There's a chapter on effective harrassment as
well as a chapter on how to take advantage of people who
don't know their rights. There's even a section on how to
chew tobacco and influence people.
While Bulldog was touring the parking lot I went for
lunch, when I returned to the lot Hansen was nowhere to be
seen. I was standing next to his van when I heard noises
coming from inside. I looked through the back window and
beheld Sgt. Hansen and a young woman doing what might
have been described as a horizontal Rumba. Hansen saw me
peering incredulously through the glass and immediately
scrambled to his knees and climbed over the front seat,
making some adjustments in his clothing in the process.
He didn't so much step out ofthe van as fall out and as he
did so, his right foot got caught in the steering wheel so that
he was hanging out of the driver's door with his head and
shoulders on the ground. I rushed to his assistance and
disengaged the poor fellow, which sent him crashing to th
pavement with a dull THUD.
In a feeble attempt to justify his actions, he muttered
nervously, "The uh...young lady...was uh...giving me some
very good reasons why I shouldn't give her a parking
ticket."
This incident ended my visit with Sgt. Hansen. I am
greatly indebted to Bulldog for providing me with the
opportunity to get an inside look at how Law Enforcement
really operates.
Keith Vernon's coffeehouse has been rescheduled for this
Saturday night at 8:30 pm in the PUB.
Jurek Adamko compares and contrasts Poland with United States
By JIM RUNKLE
Jurek Adamko is a
Communist.
He
also
happens to be a Polish
exchange student and a
senior instructor of English
at Marie Curie Institute in
Poland, currently working
on his doctorate at LHS, in
an examination of the black
English dialect in America.
Having such a radically
different background from
the
average
college
student, Adamko also has a
radically different outlook
on college life in America,
as it compares with his
native country, Poland.
When he was asked if the
adjustment to the American
way of life was a problem.

he answered, "Not a big
problem...You have more
gadgets than we, but that's
about the only difference."
He also mentioned that
students in Poland are
a much more austere group
and that there is less
"fooling around" than he
has found at Lock Haven.
According to Adamko, the
use of marijuana is not a
big problem in his country,
although he admits that if it
were available, it would
probably be used in greater
quantity.
Adamko stated that the
majority of schools in
Poland are funded, much
like our state college,
through a public education,
government
operated
system. In fact, the only
private schools in Poland
are religious
schools
administered
by
the
Catholic Church. All students in the public schools
are required to participate
in a certain amount of
military training, much like
the ROTC program in
colleges of the United
States. Enrollment in such
schools is based on an
entrance examination. Only
one, out of ten applicants.

ing to Adamko. He stated
that although the managerial positions are filled by
party members, if a person
has knowledge in a
specialized field, he usually
has little trouble finding a
position.
Poland, like any country
has its problems. The party
is concerned about the
power of the church, and
according to Adamko, is
taking steps to see that the
church does not expand its
power. Marriage by the
Catholic Church is not
recognized by the state as
legal, for example. The
method used to limit the
church's expansion is nonviolent; basically discussion
and arguments are used to
disuade members from
participation and nonmembers from joining.
Another problem is alcoholism. "Of course it's a
problem," Adamko stated,
"but we're trying to handle
it effectively." It seems, to
Adamko, that Poland, with
its socialized medicine, free
in-patient clinics and free
dental care, is closer to
finding cures for such
sicknesses than the United
States.
Poland, it seems, is also
more advanced in its
judicial system, at least as
far as law enforcement is
concerned. Poland has
almost a 100 percent
conviction rate for crimes
like murder. "Our judicial
system is not geared to the
protection of criminals,"
Adamko stated. He added,
"The judges of such trials
are very careful and
p r e c i s e . " Adamko also
noted that there were no
life term imprisoi ments in
Poland. The ruaximum
penalty for seriou, offences
in Poland is either the
death penalty or 25 years'
i m p r i s o n m e n t . ''Our
streets are safer than
yours," he stated.
It may seem irregular to
speak of political dissent in
Poland, yet Adamko feels
that the freedom of speech
is not limited. "We have a
rather
small
underground," he said, "and
while we do not encourage
dissidents, we do not
persecute them severely.
You can criticize specific
issues but not the overall
system or the basic tenets
upon which the system is
b a s e d . " "Very o f t e n , "
Adamko stated, "the newspaper will expose various
things and result in people
being demoted." Adaniko
felt our emphasis on
freedom of speech entirely
too zealous. "Sometimes it
can be used to smear
reputations; you can go too.

Adamko commented on
many topics, the most
intriguing of which was his
membership
in
the
Communist party, or the
Polish United Workers'
Party. Surprisingly, there is
more than one existing
party in Poland, and
although the PUWP is by
far the most accepted, the
others are actively engaged
in the political process to
some degree. Commenting
on his duties in party
functions, Adamko stated,
"My tasks involve implementation of party policies
and routine organization
work." How did he become
involved in the PUWP?
Adamko answers that
usually, in order to become
a party member, a person
will become involved at a
young age, in such
organizations as the Union
of Socialist Youth. "Only 10
percent of the population
belongs to the major
party," Adamko stated, "it
is a privilege rather than a
right." He mentioned that
a prospective member must
be recommended by at
least two members of the
party in order to be
qualified for acceptance
into the party. Party
affiliation brings with it no
special privileges, accord-
J
A Faculty Prayer Breakfast is held in the faculty
dining room, in Bentley
Hall, every Wednesday
morning from 7 to 8 am. Its
purpose is for LHS faculty
to join together for fellowship and to share in their
faith.
"No one is really in
charge of the breakfast,"
stated
Dr.
Charles
DeSanto, profeSsor of
sociology, "the different
faculty take turns in
with the rest of the group.''
Meetings involve a lot of
discussion on a given
current issue which is then
discussed from a Christian
point of view.
"During these meetings,
there
are
sometimes
prayers, songs, and scripture
readings,''
commented Dr. DeSanto.
The amount of faculty
attending these breakfasts
are anywhere from four to
twelve people, with the
average being eight people.
Dr. DeSanto stated that
individuals from different
departments, at one time or
another attended these
meetmgs.
Dr. DeSanto stated that it
has been a year now since
these breakfasts have been
in session. "So far they
seem to be pretty successful," he reported.
"Any faculty member is
invited, that is if they can
get up early enough," '
commented DeSanto.

By DOUG GREITZ
The Lock Haven State
College Linksmen teed off

extremely i m p r e s s i v e
quadrangular match victory
on a difficult Berkleigh
Country Club course.
The linksmen captured
the low stroke score of the
day with a 414. Shippensburg finished runnerup
with a score of 415, while
Bloomsburg and Kutztown,
the host, finished with a
443 and a 449 respectively.
Sophomore phenomenon
Jeff Rupert once again led
the linksmen with an 81.
John Gaenzle and James
Brungard finished at 82,
while freshman Jerry
Rupert and Dave Keener

SCC Senate approves
new check proposal
By JULIE BRENNAN
M I K E H A N N A -- SCC President is pictured addressing the last Senate meeting.
Highlighting the meeting was the acceptance of the SAC committee's checit
cashing policy. [Photo by BRUCE RUBIN].
At the April 6 senate
meeting, the Senate Appropriations Committee
brought forth to the senate
some of the proposed cuts
for next year's SCC budget.
One of the major proposed
cuts was that of the men's
football
team.
SAC
explained to the senate that
because
the
budget
requests were forty
to
forty-five thousand dollars
over what the SCC could
budget, the committee
went through the proposed
budget and made cuts. By
cutting men's football,

Bolduc prepares for presidency
KAREN WEIDNER
Jayne Bolduc, First Vice
President of the Student
Cooperative Council will be
come President this coming
1977 fall semester c ue to
Mike Hanna's, current SCC
President's, graduation.
Bolduc is a junior at Lock
Haven State College and is
looking forward very much
to becoming President of
the SCCr Bolduc stated, "I
learned about the SCC
really well after working
with Mike. I can do it now.
Had there not been a
re-election I wouldn't have
been as confident as I am
now."
Bolduc stated that once
she is President, she would
like to see more work done
in the improvement of the
advisor and student relationships. "With the 2.0
cum in effect, I believe
students are going to need
their advisors more than
they do now," commented
Bolduc. She also stated that
she would like to see more
students involved such as
the senate is now, conducting the faculty evaluations.
"I would like to see more of
this nature," Bolduc
added.
Bolduc first became
interested in the SCC after
being tired of being
apathetic. She became an
off-campus senator last fall
and then Vice President.
When President, one of
Bolduc's main interests will
be to coordinate the
students' interests with the
interests of the administration. "I want to work
with
the
students,"
commented Bolduc.
She plans on continuing
much of what is being done
now with the SCC. She
plans on representing the
students' opinions whether
good or bad and communi-
cating these opinions to the
administration. "I plan to
continue things that were
started this semester,"
stated Bolduc, "such as the
Eagle Wing project, student activity fee, check
cashing policy, and teacher
evaluations."
Bolduc and the Executive
Committee have not yet
decided
who will be
chosen for First Vice
President of the 1977 fall
semester.
As for Bolduc running for
President in the Novenlber
elections, she replied. "It
all depends on how the fall
goes."
CAS discusses the internal financial crisis
An internal financial
crisis was the main issue
dealt with at the Commonwealth Association of Students' Conference held April
1-3.
CAS is in great financial
trouble reported Mike
Buckwash, CAS coordinator at LHS. "To operate on
the same level we are now,
the CAS needs 15,00
dollars. We need at least
8,000 dollars to operate at
all," Buckwash explained.
Many cutbacks have
already taken place concerning the CAS. Telephone
calls, travel and aftendance
at certain meetings and
conference have been limited. The organization has
suspended the publication
of it's newspaper. Activist,
indefinately. Michael Sommers CAS assistant director
will tentatively be laid off in
May and Eugene T.
Carroll, Executive Director
will take a cut in salary.
The membership drive
conducted by the CAS was
unsuccessfiil. There are
only 850 paying members
in the CAS. Only one third
of the students at LHS are
members. "We must have
the support of the majority
of the students on campus
to continue with CAS,"
stated Buckwash.
There is a high possibility that the CAS could
go under . according to
Mike Hanna, President of
the SCC. Should it go
under, the students would
have no state wide lobbying
group. "Each campus
would have to sponsor
there own lobbying group,
which would be almost
financially impossible,"
stated Hanna.
An external financial
crisis, the battle of freezing
basic fee costs
the state
colleges and university of
Pennsylvania, is being
worked on at a 100 percent
capacity. "Our Fees Freeze
Fight is getting the most
attention because that's
what our students are most
concerned with at the
moment," stated Nathan L.
Gadsden, CAS President.
thousand dollars, the SCC
would still be twenty to
twenty-five
thousand
dollars over on their
budget. The SAC said that
with the football proposals
and the present cuts, the
balance of the SCC budget
is still five thousand dollars
short. SAC reminded the
senate that these cuts were
all considerations—there
have been no budget
hearings as of yet.
The senate then voted on
and approved the check
cashing
policy.
The
finalized policy briefly
stated that the campus
store will now be cashing
only personal checks up to
S25.0i0; no pavable checks
will be cashed; and
students, faculty, and
administrators must
present a valid ID to cash a
check. A recommendation
was made to the SAC to
investigate the possibility
of having a sixty dollar
ceiling on the cashing of
payroll checks.
A summary of the
Affirmative
Action
Proposal was brought
before the senate and was
recognized.
The
Affirmative Action document stated the expectations of the student

Faculty cooperation aids evaluators
By B. MONTANYA
Teacher cooperation was
the keynote to the success
of the faculty evaluations,
which will, for the most
part, be completed at
this week's end. Jayne
Bolduc, Vice-President of
the SCC, stated that about
90 percent of the faculty
were willing to devote class
time for the evaluations.
If the teachers refused to
grant class time, the forms
were distributed before
class and were returned to
designated boxes in the
Library and the PUB. If
class time was granted, the
instructor was given the
right to review his or her
evaluations and add a
comment, before they were
sent to the publisher.
The evaluation form was
developed by the SCC
Faculty Evaluations
Committee with the aid of
an advisor. All depart-
governments for Affirmative Action. The document
covers items that are
related to insuring that
minority students are given
equal consideration in
student government activities.
Mike Landen, the new
Social Committee Chairperson reported that a
Sound Equipment Seminar
will be held April 21.
Thereafter, only certified
operators will be able to
sign out the sound equipment. Landen also stated

Dale blasts "dumb jock" prejudice
c^rts Calendar
To the Editor:
I am tired of it! Tired 1
For four years I have put up
with being called a jock, the
latter term usually associated with assorted
negative adjectives. Up to
now, I have accepted it,
always considering the
source-Lock Haven State
College students. But when
a physics professor, a supposedly learned individual,
blasts away at my chosen
profession in the Eagle
Eye, I cannot drop back and
punt with "jock"ringing in
my ears.
First of all, the physical
education curriculum is
constantly accused of containing " d u m b j o c k s " ,
students who know nothing
but the agony of a torn
medical meniscus or the
ecstasy of slamming a goal
right where it belongs. I am
not trying to brag, but I
have a 3.557 Cumulative
Quality Point Average; I am
a member of Kappa Delta
Pi, a national honor society
in education;and, instead of
going on with my academic
achievements, suffice to
say that I am not a dumb
jock. And I know many of
my colleagues who have
excelled similarly. It
pleases me no end that the
other curriculums contain
only straight-A students
who are intellectually superior, psychologically
sound, and complete benefits to society.
Another point worth
mentioning is the fact that
in recent years physical
education has come to
be regardedas an academic
discipline, no different
from physics or psychology.
It is a science; gone are the
days of throwing out the
basketball and yelling, "Go
to it, boys!" Finally it is a
well-known fact that regular exercise and physical
activity
have a direct
correlation with good health, and probably longevity.
Without a doubt, a person
who is fit feels better while
he is alive. Therefore, I
relinguish all sit-behindthe- deskprofessorsto their
fates, and will merrily go
running along the beach in
the summer catching frisbees twenty years after
they have all dropped dead
of coronary arrest. Long
live physical education!
Rick Dale
Sohnleitner says rec-room staff is reliable
Letter to Editor
I am writing this letter
firstly to apologize to the
student who approached
me April 5th
about
rec-room employee's not
showing up for work. I was
busy with a job interview
and did not give him the
time he deserved. If he
would come down to the
office I will explain to him
the problem I am faced with
and what I am doing to
rectify the work situation.
I am in charge of hiring
rec-room employee's. So
when these students fail to
show for work students
come to me for expanations. This is their right
because it is my responsibility. The student above
said that the employees'
never show up for work. I
disagree with that vehemently. I feel the staff is
reliable. He suggested I
should fire them and get
people that want to work. I
wish life was that easy.
For one, I am only
allowed to hire work-study
students. This eliminates
95% of the students on
campus. Another thing is
when these students miss
work it is usually for a good
reason. Everybody has
unforseen circumstances
that cause them to miss a
scheduled appointment ocassionally.
Remember these employee's are fellow students. They need money. I
could fire someone every
time they didn't show up
for work but I think that's
asinine. It wouldn't alleviate the problem only
worsen it. Try to remember
that nobody is perfect. We
all make mistakes. If I feel
someone is missmg work
continually then I would
resort to firing. As it ''tands
now no one does.
Club praised by TTiomas —
To the Editor:
I would like to take this
opportunity to thank Fred
DeStolfo and Rick Di Wald
of the Karate Club of Lock
Haven State College. At
last minute notice when a
scheduled program was
endangered, they gave it
their time and expertise.
Last week's program on
Rape and Self Defense was
a success largely due to
them. It seemed that
something a little more
than the usual thank you
note was in order.
Thank you,

Deibert comments on Hanna-Bolduc affluence
To the Editor:
Our beloved SCC leaders
are only now beginning to
fulfill
their
assorted
campaign promises. As of
April 12, 1977, personal
checks that are $25 or less
will be cashed at the
Bookstore, minus the 10
cents charge. No longer will
the paycheck of the
employed student on
campus be honored, even if
it is our only source of
income. We employees
must now:
1) open accounts in a
Lock Haven bank, even
though many of us have
done so in our hometown,
2) saunter to the A & P
every payday, or
3) begin a running
collection of Robert E.
Casey signatures.
It was my understanding
that during the campaign
the Hanna-Bolduc team
sought to do away with the
10 cents checking fee. They
have succeeded in accomplishing this goal, but in the
process have unfortunately
infringed upon the privileges of the widely-
r e p r e s e n t e d working
student body.
As two adults, whom
have probably never gone
without or have had to
WORK to get anywhere;
Really Mr. Hanna and Ms.
Bolduc, your affluence is
showing.
Sincerely,
B. L. Deibert

Green, chairman of geoscience, " t h e sciences
around the science building
and also campus life at Lock
Haven State College, such
as sports and fraternities
and sororities."
Green stated that the
main purpose of the affair
is for recruitment purposes
and a community service.
" W e like to recruit
j u n i o r s , " commented
Green, "that way they can
see what LHS is like before
they
choose
other
colleges." Green also siad
that there are a lot of
careers in the sciences, but
they have a reputation of
being difficult. Green
added, "This open house
may show the students that
not only are the sciences a
good career but also very
enjoyable."
The science open house
is given by students on a
voluntary basis. There will
be twelve demonstration
locations, and students will
be available to answer
questions. "The science
faculty is also present at the
open house," stated Green,
"and are very willing and
eager to answer any
questions."
Green commented that
the department tries to
erase the stereotype of
males being associated
with the sciences, espec-
ially geoscience, by putting
males and females together
behind a particular demonstration to answer any
questions.
The high schools and
faculty invited are within a
commuting distance. "We
usually get around 250
students," added Green.
When the students arrive
on campus, they are given a
meal ticket and are told a
little about the college in
general. They are also
asked to sign their name
on a sheet. After the open
house, a letter is then sent
to each student expressing
the science department's
thanks and appreciation.
Green stated that not
only is this open house a
good opportunity for high
school students, but also
for the college students
presenting the demonstrations.
Green commented,
"Refreshments will be
served and everyone is
invited."

EAGLE EYE
A Day in the Life of Sgt. Bulldog Hansen
I was recently sent on a very challenging assignment. I
had to spend a day with Sgt. Bulldog Hansen of Law
Enforcement and write a story about what an average
campus security officer does on an average day. It was most
illuminating to say the least. I invite you to read this column
if you are the least bit curious about how Law Enforcement
operates.
Sgt. Hansen was informed of my plans and agreed to
cooperate with me. So on Tuesday morning we met down at
the campus headquarters and he asked me to join him in the
van while he did his morning patrol. While riding around
with Sgt. Hansen, two things became readily apparent.
Number one: he was a lousy driver. Number two: if he
would watch the road as carefully as he watched th girls
walking across campus, his driving would improve
immensely.
Soon the morning patrol was over and as we pulled back
into the parking lot, a silly grin started to spread over
Bulldog's face. "Now it's time," he said gleefully, "for
Project Periscope."
"Project Periscope?" I asked puzzled.
"Yes. That's where an officer walks along by the wall of a
dorm and looks in the first floor windows, scanning the
rooms for illegal substances of any kind. We've nailed more
kids tht way! It's a very effective operation and it can also be
a helluva lot of fun!"
"How's that?"
"Well we don't just look through the windows of the
men's dorms you know."
"Sgt. Hansen, I don't want to seem impertinent but I
think there's some question here as to whether you're doing
detective work or being a Peeping Tom. You guys an est
people for sneaking around and looking through windows.
How come it's OK for yoa to do it?"
"You don't understand. When an ordinary citizen looks
through a window he's a Peeping Tom. When a police
officer looks through a window he's doing surveillance work.
Pretty soon we're gonna have stilts so that we can get up to
the second and third and even the seventh story windows.
Then nobody will be safe!"
Just then Bulldog got a call on his walkie-talkie. Having
[
with Keith Vemon
long been fascinated by this form of police efficiency, I
leaned over and listened to the message.
"Hansen? Are you there?" said a voice through the
static.
"Yeah this is Hansen, go ahead."
"The poker game's about to start if you still wanna play.
The guys are really looking forward to taking your money."
Quickly Hansen clicked the machine off. "Those guys..."
he said with a strained laugh. "Always makin' with the
jokes."
We walked back to the van and Hansen was trying hard to
make conversation in an attempt to avoid the awkward
silence that the walkie-talkie message had created. He
started asking me stupid questions like, "How are your
classes going?", "Isn't the weather too much?" and "What
are the names of the big dealers on campus?"
Hansen informed me that it was time for him to tour the
parking lot and look for parking violations. Occasionally he
would catch a person in the act of parking illegally and when
he did, he would take great delight in giving that person a
lecture right out of The Hard Guy Handbook. The Hard Guy
Handbook is a handy pocket-size book which is issued to
every law enforcement officer in the country. It contains
dozens of hard guy lectures for almost every occasion and
even such things as how to wear your hat to took tough and
menacing. There's a chapter on effective harrassment as
well as a chapter on how to take advantage of people who
don't know their rights. There's even a section on how to
chew tobacco and influence people.
While Bulldog was touring the parking lot I went for
lunch, when I returned to the lot Hansen was nowhere to be
seen. I was standing next to his van when I heard noises
coming from inside. I looked through the back window and
beheld Sgt. Hansen and a young woman doing what might
have been described as a horizontal Rumba. Hansen saw me
peering incredulously through the glass and immediately
scrambled to his knees and climbed over the front seat,
making some adjustments in his clothing in the process.
He didn't so much step out ofthe van as fall out and as he
did so, his right foot got caught in the steering wheel so that
he was hanging out of the driver's door with his head and
shoulders on the ground. I rushed to his assistance and
disengaged the poor fellow, which sent him crashing to th
pavement with a dull THUD.
In a feeble attempt to justify his actions, he muttered
nervously, "The uh...young lady...was uh...giving me some
very good reasons why I shouldn't give her a parking
ticket."
This incident ended my visit with Sgt. Hansen. I am
greatly indebted to Bulldog for providing me with the
opportunity to get an inside look at how Law Enforcement
really operates.
Keith Vernon's coffeehouse has been rescheduled for this
Saturday night at 8:30 pm in the PUB.
Jurek Adamko compares and contrasts Poland with United States
By JIM RUNKLE
Jurek Adamko is a
Communist.
He
also
happens to be a Polish
exchange student and a
senior instructor of English
at Marie Curie Institute in
Poland, currently working
on his doctorate at LHS, in
an examination of the black
English dialect in America.
Having such a radically
different background from
the
average
college
student, Adamko also has a
radically different outlook
on college life in America,
as it compares with his
native country, Poland.
When he was asked if the
adjustment to the American
way of life was a problem.

he answered, "Not a big
problem...You have more
gadgets than we, but that's
about the only difference."
He also mentioned that
students in Poland are
a much more austere group
and that there is less
"fooling around" than he
has found at Lock Haven.
According to Adamko, the
use of marijuana is not a
big problem in his country,
although he admits that if it
were available, it would
probably be used in greater
quantity.
Adamko stated that the
majority of schools in
Poland are funded, much
like our state college,
through a public education,
government
operated
system. In fact, the only
private schools in Poland
are religious
schools
administered
by
the
Catholic Church. All students in the public schools
are required to participate
in a certain amount of
military training, much like
the ROTC program in
colleges of the United
States. Enrollment in such
schools is based on an
entrance examination. Only
one, out of ten applicants.

ing to Adamko. He stated
that although the managerial positions are filled by
party members, if a person
has knowledge in a
specialized field, he usually
has little trouble finding a
position.
Poland, like any country
has its problems. The party
is concerned about the
power of the church, and
according to Adamko, is
taking steps to see that the
church does not expand its
power. Marriage by the
Catholic Church is not
recognized by the state as
legal, for example. The
method used to limit the
church's expansion is nonviolent; basically discussion
and arguments are used to
disuade members from
participation and nonmembers from joining.
Another problem is alcoholism. "Of course it's a
problem," Adamko stated,
"but we're trying to handle
it effectively." It seems, to
Adamko, that Poland, with
its socialized medicine, free
in-patient clinics and free
dental care, is closer to
finding cures for such
sicknesses than the United
States.
Poland, it seems, is also
more advanced in its
judicial system, at least as
far as law enforcement is
concerned. Poland has
almost a 100 percent
conviction rate for crimes
like murder. "Our judicial
system is not geared to the
protection of criminals,"
Adamko stated. He added,
"The judges of such trials
are very careful and
p r e c i s e . " Adamko also
noted that there were no
life term imprisoi ments in
Poland. The ruaximum
penalty for seriou, offences
in Poland is either the
death penalty or 25 years'
i m p r i s o n m e n t . ''Our
streets are safer than
yours," he stated.
It may seem irregular to
speak of political dissent in
Poland, yet Adamko feels
that the freedom of speech
is not limited. "We have a
rather
small
underground," he said, "and
while we do not encourage
dissidents, we do not
persecute them severely.
You can criticize specific
issues but not the overall
system or the basic tenets
upon which the system is
b a s e d . " "Very o f t e n , "
Adamko stated, "the newspaper will expose various
things and result in people
being demoted." Adaniko
felt our emphasis on
freedom of speech entirely
too zealous. "Sometimes it
can be used to smear
reputations; you can go too.
far," he stated.

is likely to be successful in
his or her bid for college.
Adamko commented on
many topics, the most
intriguing of which was his
membership
in
the
Communist party, or the
Polish United Workers'
Party. Surprisingly, there is
more than one existing
party in Poland, and
although the PUWP is by
far the most accepted, the
others are actively engaged
in the political process to
some degree. Commenting
on his duties in party
functions, Adamko stated,
"My tasks involve implementation of party policies
and routine organization
work." How did he become
involved in the PUWP?
Adamko answers that
usually, in order to become
a party member, a person
will become involved at a
young age, in such
organizations as the Union
of Socialist Youth. "Only 10
percent of the population
belongs to the major
party," Adamko stated, "it
is a privilege rather than a
right." He mentioned that
a prospective member must
be recommended by at
least two members of the
party in order to be
qualified for acceptance
into the party. Party
affiliation brings with it no
special privileges, accord-
J
A Faculty Prayer Breakfast is held in the faculty
dining room, in Bentley
Hall, every Wednesday
morning from 7 to 8 am. Its
purpose is for LHS faculty
to join together for fellowship and to share in their
faith.
"No one is really in
charge of the breakfast,"
stated
Dr.
Charles
DeSanto, profeSsor of
sociology, "the different
faculty take turns in
with the rest of the group.''
Meetings involve a lot of
discussion on a given
current issue which is then
discussed from a Christian
point of view.
"During these meetings,
there
are
sometimes
prayers, songs, and scripture
readings,''
commented Dr. DeSanto.
The amount of faculty
attending these breakfasts
are anywhere from four to
twelve people, with the
average being eight people.
Dr. DeSanto stated that
individuals from different
departments, at one time or
another attended these
meetmgs.
Dr. DeSanto stated that it
has been a year now since
these breakfasts have been
in session. "So far they
seem to be pretty successful," he reported.
"Any faculty member is
invited, that is if they can
get up early enough," '
commented DeSanto.
