Corbin Meets
With Ribieoff
On Fitness Plan
Dr. H . D. Corbin of the
health ed department represented
Lock Haven at a conference on
youth fitness in Washington,
D . C , on Feb. 21.
The conference, attended by
about 60 experts in the field of
physical fitness from all over
the country, was called by the
President's Council on Youth
Fitness.
The principal speakers were
Bud Wilkinson, special consultant to the President's Council;
Secretary of Health, Education
and Welfare Abraham Ribieoff;
and Secretary of the Interior,
Stewart Udall.
Wilkinson cited the need for
more medical check-ups as a
preventitive health measure. He
also said that our increasinglymechanized society is having a

During its regular meeting,
the Board reviewed the three
slates which are vying for next
year's Executive Board positions.
March 12 has been designated as
election day.
The Eagle Eye will publish
the complete platforms of each
of the three slates in next week's
issue.
The Board also heard from
advisor Edward H . Young who
reported that starting in September, 1962, each student will
be issued a laminated ID card
with his picture. This card is
intended to last four years. An
initial fee of $1.00 will be
charged each student. Duplicates will cost $1.25. The ID
cards will replace the current
Student Activities Fee Card.
The Board's social committee
reported that next year's social
calendar has been set-up and
sent to Kathryn A. Pontzer,
Dean of Women, for approval.
The cut system and library
committees both reported that
they were in the process of holding meetings in their respective
areas and would have more progress to report at the next meeting.

So We Say
No Censorship Here!
A restatement of policy seems necessary at
this time.
The function of this College's newspaper is
NOT to present a goody-goody picture of life
on campus. W e prefer to leave the world of
make-believe to comic books, and to the immature students and faculty members who have
complained that we are "stirring up trouble."
Neither do we wish only to print the shady side
of things.
W e attempt to oflFer unbiased news (informative and entertaining) as a service to our
readers. Our views are expressed only in the
editorial column.
It is our responsibility to print not just news,
but reader opinion as well. Each letter to the
editor presents the opinions of the writer. Although all letters for publication must be signed,
names are w i t h h e l d upon request. It is the
reader's responsibility to judge the accuracy and
views of the letters.
W e will not censor reader opinion t o appease
the delicate tastes of certain factions.
Dean Young to Give Award
In Honor of His Father
The Interfraternity Council,
which was inaugurated on campus this semester will be supplemented with another first —
an IFC Scholarship Award. The
award will be presented to and
through the IRC by Dean Edward Young in honor of his
father. Dr. Ward Young.
Dr. Young was a fellow of
both the American College of
Surgeons and the American College of Physicians and also was
a diplomat of the American Society of Otorhinolaryngology.
As a fellow and a diplomat.
Dr. Young received the highest
honors awarded by these societies.
Of humble origin. Dr. Young
was born on a King's grant farm
in Ontario, Canada. He received his early education at
Napanee Academy in Ontario,
and in 1898 he was graduated
from Queen's University with
an M. D. degree.
Dr. Young practiced medicine
in the United States from his
graduation until 1948 when he

retired after 50 years of practice in Massachusettes, Pennsylvania and New York. He
died in 1949, leaving behind a
legacy of true humanitarianism.
Presented annually, the award
will describe Dr. Young simply
as "scholar and physician." The
purpose of the award is to
stimulate high scholastic achievment among fraternities on campus. It will be awarded to the
fraternity chapter whose members obtain the highest total
cumulative average over a oneyear school period. The award
is now in competition for the
1961-62 school term.
Consisting of a plaque, the
award will be engraved with the
title of the award. Dr. Young's

Lock Haven State, with a possible shot at the Western Division
title, has ended up another
grueling, but losing season.
A season of hard luck was climaxed in the third overtime
period of an unequalled battle
for first place in the Western
Conference between the Eagle
quintet and the Edinboro Red
Raiders. The Raiders won it
and took the conference lead
home to work on.
The season may have been
written much differently had
the Eagles come out on top of
that one. But the loss threw
them into a slump that they
never recovered from, though
they tried hard.
The final three games were
played after this writing; a review of the season will appear
in the next issue.

Team Champs
The Bald Eagles should have
little trouble repeating as team
champions, but the points separating them and arch-rival
Bloom last year (13) should be
even greater. These two teams
should dominate the tournament
and finish far ahead of the rest
of the teams.
Shippensburg which finished
third last year will be given its
toughest competition for that
spot this year from Millersville.
On the individual basis, there
will be nine returning champions. After coupling Individual
records and personal observations, we make the following
predictions in each weight class.
Although some of the lineups
may be shifted, these predictions
were made on the team lineups
existing at the time this article
was written.
In tournament competition
there are two additional weight
classes added to the dual meet
number of eight. These are the
115 and 191-pound classes.
Match Predictions
115 — This is a weak weight
judging by the talent. Some
teams won't enter anyone at
this weight since it is not a
regular season weight. Of those
expected to compete, none could
be considered outstanding.
Harbest of Shippensburg, last
year's champ, has failed to make
the varsity team this year at
123, but if he enters at 115 he
should repeat as winner. The

Corbin Meets
With Ribieoff
On Fitness Plan
Dr. H . D. Corbin of the
health ed department represented
Lock Haven at a conference on
youth fitness in Washington,
D . C , on Feb. 21.
The conference, attended by
about 60 experts in the field of
physical fitness from all over
the country, was called by the
President's Council on Youth
Fitness.
The principal speakers were
Bud Wilkinson, special consultant to the President's Council;
Secretary of Health, Education
and Welfare Abraham Ribieoff;
and Secretary of the Interior,
Stewart Udall.
Wilkinson cited the need for
more medical check-ups as a
preventitive health measure. He
also said that our increasinglymechanized society is having a

During its regular meeting,
the Board reviewed the three
slates which are vying for next
year's Executive Board positions.
March 12 has been designated as
election day.
The Eagle Eye will publish
the complete platforms of each
of the three slates in next week's
issue.
The Board also heard from
advisor Edward H . Young who
reported that starting in September, 1962, each student will
be issued a laminated ID card
with his picture. This card is
intended to last four years. An
initial fee of $1.00 will be
charged each student. Duplicates will cost $1.25. The ID
cards will replace the current
Student Activities Fee Card.
The Board's social committee
reported that next year's social
calendar has been set-up and
sent to Kathryn A. Pontzer,
Dean of Women, for approval.
The cut system and library
committees both reported that
they were in the process of holding meetings in their respective
areas and would have more progress to report at the next meeting.

A restatement of policy seems necessary at
this time.
The function of this College's newspaper is
NOT to present a goody-goody picture of life
on campus. W e prefer to leave the world of
make-believe to comic books, and to the immature students and faculty members who have
complained that we are "stirring up trouble."
Neither do we wish only to print the shady side
of things.
W e attempt to oflFer unbiased news (informative and entertaining) as a service to our
readers. Our views are expressed only in the

It is our responsibility to print not just news,
but reader opinion as well. Each letter to the
editor presents the opinions of the writer. Although all letters for publication must be signed,

Dean Young to Give Award
In Honor of His Father
The Interfraternity Council,
which was inaugurated on campus this semester will be supplemented with another first —
an IFC Scholarship Award. The
award will be presented to and
through the IRC by Dean Edward Young in honor of his
father. Dr. Ward Young.
Dr. Young was a fellow of
both the American College of
Surgeons and the American College of Physicians and also was
a diplomat of the American Society of Otorhinolaryngology.
As a fellow and a diplomat.
Dr. Young received the highest
honors awarded by these societies.
Of humble origin. Dr. Young
was born on a King's grant farm
in Ontario, Canada. He received his early education at
Napanee Academy in Ontario,
and in 1898 he was graduated
from Queen's University with
an M. D. degree.
Dr. Young practiced medicine
in the United States from his
graduation until 1948 when he

retired after 50 years of practice in Massachusettes, Pennsylvania and New York. He
died in 1949, leaving behind a
legacy of true humanitarianism.
Presented annually, the award
will describe Dr. Young simply
as "scholar and physician." The
purpose of the award is to
stimulate high scholastic achievment among fraternities on campus. It will be awarded to the
fraternity chapter whose members obtain the highest total
cumulative average over a oneyear school period. The award
is now in competition for the
1961-62 school term.
Consisting of a plaque, the
award will be engraved with the
title of the award. Dr. Young's

Eagle mentor since coming to
Lock Haven State, with a possible shot at the Western Division
title, has ended up another
grueling, but losing season.
A season of hard luck was climaxed in the third overtime
period of an unequalled battle
for first place in the Western
Conference between the Eagle
quintet and the Edinboro Red
Raiders. The Raiders won it
and took the conference lead
home to work on.
The season may have been
written much differently had
the Eagles come out on top of
that one. But the loss threw
them into a slump that they
never recovered from, though
they tried hard.
The final three games were
played after this writing; a review of the season will appear
in the next issue.
