SWINGING SINGING SUCCESSES
- on

by CAROL TARASI

Struggling into empty Price
Auditorium last Thursday night
was Jay Christopher. Jay, who
is accompanist for "The Brandywine Singers" is always the first
to arrive in order to set up his
many instruments.
Hal Brown, lugging his everpresent bass, followed Jay into
the dressing room and began
coughing. He explained, "I got
a cold driving from Iowa in this
freezing weather."
Fred Corbett, one of the singers, came Into the cramped room
and with the aid of a tuning
fork began adjusting the strings
of his guitar. "Did I hear someone say Iowa? We had a lot of
fun in that state, didn't we Hal?
The college was without electricity for an hour and a half
due to a power failure that encompassed the Midwest.
We
had to improvise a little, but it
added atmosphere to the performance."
By then, the room was reverberating with the sound of guitars, bongoes, harmonicas — and
Hal's sneezes. When asked if he
would be able to sing, Hal drew
himself up to his total height of
six feet and two inches, announcing proudly that "I'm used
to coping with the minor problems caused by cold weather because I'm from New Hampshire.
In fact, I attended college at the
University of New Hampshire
— that's where we all met."
Hal began playing a few tuneless
bars on his bass and continued,
"I was a History major, but I
intend to go to law school in
Boston."
Fred Corbett, who wears his
hair comparatively l o n g , but
whose warm s m i l e and quick
mind reveal him to be anything
but "beat" added, "Hal and I
were both in History. At the
present I'm a t t e n d i n g night
school at Cambridge where I'm
taking a few music courses. I'm
a little healthier than Hal, although I was born in Portland,
Oregan," remarked Fred with a
grin. This statement was greeted

with a dischord from his friend
at the bass. Fred continued, "My
wife and I reside in the Boston
area — most of the guys do between engagements."
In the corner of the room, sat
Jay on top of a suitcase with a
guitar to his ear. He was so absorbed in listening to the pitch
t h a t he was oblivious of the
other's presence. Hal laughingly
explained, "Jay became a permanent member of the group six
months ago. Although he never
says much, he is a definite asset
to us. Hal's bass kept perfect
time with his w^ords. "Our little Jay is originally from Chicago and studied English at New
Hampshire U."
The three went out on stage
and began ararnging the instruments. While placing tables and
stools, they said that Rick and
Ron Shaw, the t w i n brothers
who originated "The Brandywine Singers" were in Harrisburg the last time they saw their
car. "They'll be arriving shortly.
The brothers are from Daycoming, Florida. Rick studied Commercial Art and Ron studied
English. Ron's wife is coming
to Lock H a v e n with them.
They're g r e a t guys to work
with."
This was the first time the
singing group had been in this
part of Pennsylvania since the
1962 Intercollegiate Music Concert held at Lycoming College.
The two men gave a brief summary of the h e c t i c schedule.
"We've been on tour throughout
the South and Midwest for the
past three years. Hootenanny,
Canada's Let's Sing Out, the
Mike Douglas Show, and shows
in colleges and night clubs have
kept us pretty busy. We like to
appear at colleges the best because the kids appreciate our
brand of humor. We've been
so busy that Christmas the first
time we had a real vacation in
two years."
"I get so beat when a concert
is over," said Hal who doubles
as business manager, "that between engagements I just sit at

The grading system of LHSC
is expressed in q u a l i t y points
which are awarded for each semester hour on the following scale:
A-4; B-3; C-2; D - 1 ; E-0. A
" C " average or a 2.0 quaUty
point average is required as the
minimum standard for academic
good standing.
To aid the student during his
freshman and sophomore years,
the college permits the student
to c o n t i n u e his studies even
though he may be slightly below a 2.0 average. These deficiency limits are shown in the
following table:

Evaluation Committee and in
most cases the student Is given
a precise contract to meet.
This committee is composed
of 14 representative staff and
faculty members and is chaired
by Dr. G. R. Robinson, Dean of
Academic Affairs. It meets at
intervals throughout the year to
review the progress of students
and in making its decisions, it
is guided by the pool of knowledge about the student that is
presented by its members. All
cases are considered on a personal basis and appeals made to

A new organization to revolutionize coed student travel has
been launched from New York
City. It is the Trans-Atlantic
Student Association with offices
at 387 Park Avenue South.
The Trans-Atlantic Student
A s s o c i a t i o n (TRASA) was
formed by a group of recent college graduates to remove the
frustrations of student travel
and to bring o v e r s e a s travel
within the budget of every student in the United States.
Special features of the TRASA
plan include financing for vacations, air transport arrangements, group tours and accomodations in major European cities
for TRASA members. In addition, the organization will operate a student night club in New
York City and will provide students with a wide variety of
travel services, advice and publications. It has reciprocal club
facilities in major E u r o p e a n
cities where its members can
meet European students and take
home alone and play my meager
selection of records — selfishly."
Hal's athletic build and quick
wit cause him to be referred to
by his comrades as "The Brandywine Singers' Elephant Joke."
In reference to their future
plans, Fred told of a new album
that will be released on the JOY
label In about six months. "We'll
finish it as soon as we find some
time to stop off in New York.
We're scheduled to be in Chicago tomorrow."
Jay was sitting In the middle
of the stage playing a few bars
of "Mandy" on his twelve string
guitar . Without expression, he
s o f t l y commented, "I like to
play in coffee houses the best
because I can play what I like
there."

part in genuine European student life. In this way, TRASA's
organizers believe a European
visit will become more enjoyable
and more worthwhile. The aim
is to achieve integration with
European student activities and
not to make gawking tourists
out of American students.
The organization will publish
twelve travel guides this summer
and plans to arrange travel for
some twenty thousand students
to E u r o p e , the Carribean and
Israel between June and August

the committee by students are
carefully reviewed. On occasion this committee reversed its
own decisions in favor of students when circumstances not
previously known are brought to
light in the student appeal.
Last month the Student Evaluation Committee dropped 78
students for acadmeic deficiencies. Of this number ten had
voluntarily withdrawn prior to
the end of the semester. Three
of the remaining 68 were reinstated by the committee at the
beginning of the current semester. The net loss of 65 students Is considered normal by
college officials. This loss was
offset by the admittance of 74
new and transfer students on
January 27.
A representative of TRASA
described its functions this way:
"More and more, travel is an
integral part of the college curriculum and any student who
does not venture abroad finds
himself not only having missed
the pleasure and excitement of
a vacation overseas, but also is
at a decided disadvanage in his
studies."
The spokesman went on to
explain that TRASA would be
able to a c h i e v e uniquely low
travel prices because of its large
membership and comprehensive
approach to the problems of students when traveling.

New Instructors on Campus
Three new instructors have
been added to the faculty of
LHSC as temporary appointments and are currently fulfilling their duties during the present semester. The new faculty
members are: Clifford L. Smith,
assistant professor of music who
replaced D. James Bruno who
withdrew In January for reasons
of health; WllUam Startt, assistant professor of English who is
substituting for Mrs. Willetta
Jack who Is on subbatical leave
and Mrs. Emily Vonada, assistant professor of education who is
substituting for Miss Mary Grein
who is also on sabbatical leave.
Professor Smith, who resides
at 163 North Thomas Street,
Bellefonte, received his Bachelor
of Science in Music Education
from Pennsylvania State University. He has also taken graduate studies in music at the University of Virginia.
Professor Startt, a native of
Balitmore, Maryland, received his
baccalaureate and master's degrees at the University of Maryland where he is continuing his
studies towards his Ph.D degree.
He has served as an instructor

at the University of Maryland
and at University College, Baltimore and from September to
November 1964 was an instructor at Nelson College, Nelson,
New Zealand.
Mrs. V o n a d a , a native of
Flemington now living at R.D.
1, Salona, Is a graduate of the
Lock Haven High School and in
1945 received her Bachelor of
Science In Elementary Education
at Lock Haven State College.
She was awarded her Master of
Education degree at Pennsylvania State University in 1957.
Mrs. Vonada has had teaching
experience in the public schools
In Lower Makefield Township,
Yardley, and more recently the
Lock Haven Area J o i n t u r e .
From 1948 to 1951 she was a
partner In the operation of the
Happytlme Nursery School at
Lock Haven.
We at the Eagle Eye join with
the other students on campus
and welcome the three new instructors to our college. We
hope their stay at Lock Haven
State, be it temporary or permanent, is one of the most memorable experiences of their lives.

GENERAL QUESTION: Should the scholastic average be
raised to a 2.2 for those students interested in joining
a Greek organization?

John "Woody" Selgrath, Tau
Kappa Epsilon.
" I beheve t h a t one of t h e p r i m a r y functions of t h e f r a t e r n i t y
is t o raise scholastic standings.
I d o not feel, however, t h a t these
higher s t a n d a r d s should be
forced o n t o a fraternity or sorority. M y f r a t e r n i t y has been
on a steady increase In overall
average for the past three or four
semesters, and w e are p u t t i n g a
great deal of emphasis on repeating as winners of the I n t e r F r a t e r n i t y Council Scholarship
Trophy.
All the fraternities and sororities on our campus are young organizations.

will progressively raise their o w n
standards. T h e " G r e e k s " have

— theoretically. It would possibly induce prospective fraternity men t o concentrate more o n
