^Dirty lenny^ resurrected in Lock Haven
by
Marlene Davy
Who was Lenny Bruce
and why does he merit a play
written about him?
The
answer-simple !
Lenny Bruce was a sat, i s i s t , who was and is something of a cult figure. Bruce
was a comic to whom nothing
was sacred—drugs, sex, religion.
"Dirty I x n n y " as he was
called, would take pokes at
the morality of America and
its hypocrisy.
In return
Americans would take their
pokes at Lenny.
They
couldn't take what Lenny
was telling them. His humor
was cutting and supposedly
damaging to the people.
Often it was probably close to
the
truth.
Lenny, also called " t h e
man on America's c o n s c i e n c e finally died in 1966.
He
was found on the floor of his
apartment with a hypodermic
needle stuck in his arm. Death
caused by an apparent drug
overdose
of
heroin.
After h i s death people
thought that was the end of
Lenny Bruce and h i s humor.
Wrong they were b e c a u s e
Lenny lives on. Mostly to
America's young who have
never seen Lenny perform.
His style is moving and hilarious both on tape and in rec; •
ord ing.
In the fifties and
s i x t i e s television and movies
wouldn't put up with him so
Lenny's talent was on the
night ciub s t a g e . Lenny h a s
died a physical death but his
genius is just starting to
live.
His autobiography,
which was published in 1963,
is on more shelves now then
when he lived.
Also from
tapes of his night club performances records are being
made and selling rapidlyl
.\ film version of the
Broadway p l a y " L e n n y " is
about ready for production
and the live soundtrack from
the play are receiving acclamation all over.
Thus
illustrating that l^nny is
"alive
and
well!"
On February 14, Frank
Speiser will preform some of
Lenny's
comic
material.
Dear Editor • •
90 percent feel that it is asinine
in the form of a mandatory
activity fee of $60 per year".
True, I agree.
You make several other
points however, Mr. DeBernardo, to which I take
exception:
1. You state, "And we would
like to point out that there
are 49 faculty, administrators, staff personnel, or
emeriti who obviously don't
consider such a policy (that
of requiring these individuals
to pay admission to campus
events)
asinine.
These
individuals represent a record
number
of
faculty,'staff
activity card purchasers."
Mr. DeBernardo, I took
it upon myself to find out
exactly how many faculty,
administrators, and staff
personnel there are on the
Lock Haven State campus, a
figure which you obviously
fail to mention and yet one
which is so important for
truly
understanding just
exactly what your "record
number" of 49 represents. I
To the Editor:
Re: Reply to "Letter to the
Editor"
from
Richard
DeBernardo, Jan. 30, 1974
First of all, Mr. DeBernardo, I would like to thank
you for your letter of January 30. I appreciate your
interest in this matter.
I must admit that, after
merely glancing al the headtine ascribed your letter
("It was foolish of you, Mr.
Eberle"), I was quite concerned about my possible
embarassment for fear that
'I might have indeed appeared
"foolish". However, after
reading your letter, Mr.
DeBernardo, I found that this
roiion was dispelled quickly
from my mind without any
second thoughts whatsoever.
After
considerable
searching, I was able to find
one point in your letter with
which I agree. You state that
"Monies are contributed by
the currently enrolled students
Editorial..,
.\ situation currently
exists at LHS which has
been called 'messy' by
Governor Shapp, and 'sticky'
by Rich DeBernardo, president of the SCC. This
situation involves George
Bower's refusal to resign as
LHS student trustee.
The initial request for
Mr. Bower's resignation came
from Governor Shapp, soon
after Bower's graduation.
Shapp, who had appointed
him to the position, asked
George to resign because he
is no longer a student. However, Bower chose to retain
his legal rights, which permit him to serve on the board
for a three year term ending
in ! 975. At the time he made
this decision, George was
backed by the SCC president
and key LHS administrators.
But the SCC withdrew
their support with action
taken at the special SCC
meeting
held
Wednesday,
..'anuary 23. Passed at that
meeting ws a resolution
calling for Bower to resign
his position. George has
Wed., Feb. 6, 1974

was quoted, by the Payroll
Office, an approximate figure
of 385 persons. I am by no
means a mathematician, however, I believe, if my figuring is correct, this means
(as you also clearly asserted
in your letter) that only 10
percent of the faculty, administrators, and staff personnel do not consider your
faculty/staff activity ticket
to be asinine while the
remaining 90 percent obviously feel, as I do, that
it is indeed asinine.
In addition, I would
venture further to voice the
opinion thit, of the very few
persons who do not purchas
*
your activity tickets, most of
them do not even agree with
your so -called "optional"
purchase ticket policy. In
reality, however, these people (all of whom want to
save money) are actually
forced
into either
this,
purchase or the practice of
not supporting campus events
at all. Let's face it- most
faculty, administrators, and
Res/gnafion is in order
necn informed of the decision
by letter. The SCC is now
awaiting his response.
I support the SCC's
action in requesting Bower
to resign. This would allow
a current LHS student, who
would be more in tune with
the opinions and problems of
students, to fill the position.
This is the basic qualification Bower now lacks.
Because he resides in Maryland, George is not in
constant communication with
the students. This point was
exemplified by the fact that
he did not formally learn of
the SCC's decision until
four days after it was made.
One reason cited by
Bower in defense of his
decision to remain student
trustee was that it takes
three years to learn how to
serve effectively in the
position. If this be so, the
student body is doomed to
either an ineffective student
representative or an out-oftouch alumnus.
However, I do sympathize with George's conten-
tion that Governor Shapp may
be operating extra-legally.
As the situation now stands,
LHS is without a trustee who
is a student because Shapp
refused to appoint a student
to fill a vacated seat on the
board. SCC president Rich
DeBernardo sent a letter to
the governor explaining his
oversight, but Shapp failed
to recognize his need for
action. A lawyer needed to
fight Shapp's position and
the subsequent trial would
prove too costly and time
consuming for LHS students.
Therefore,
George
Bower should recognize his
moral obligation and responsibility to the students
of LHS and resign even
though this action is not
required by law. The position
of student trustee represents
the only student voice in the
college's highest decisionmaking body. To preserve
the dignity and effectiveness
of this crucial position,
George Bower's resignation
is in order.
•A. K.
staff who are loyal to the
college and want to support
numerous campus events,
would choose the "lesser
e v i l " and purchase an a c tivity ticket rather than
thumb their n o s e s " at their
own institution and its activities. So you see, Mr. DeBernardo, your so called 'optional
purchase policy becomes, in
reality, actually a mandatory
purchase policy for many of
those 49 people who want to
save money, who want to
attend campus events, and
who must, therefore, purchase an activity ticket.
In essence, Mr. DeBernardo, I (along with most
faculty, administration, and
staff, I'm sure) consider your
policy of requiring faculty,
administration, and staff to
pay admission to campus
events to be a real "stab in
the back" to those individuals
at LHSC who perform so many
'extras' for students, yet are
not compensated for these
favors in any way. For instance, did you ever stop to
consider what would happen,
Mr. DeBernardo, if faculty
and administrators suddenly
refused to (1) write recommendations
for
students
seeking employment or admission to gr£(duate school,
(2) serve as advisors and
sponsors of student clubs,
fraternities, sororities, and
other organizations, (3) advise
and counsel students in
personal matters as well ad
school matters, (4) serve as
guest speakers, lecturers, or
panel members at various
student affairs, etc., etc., etc.
Unprofessional
you say?
True, I agree. All of ths se
are duties which faculty and
administrators are not required by their contracts, to
perform yet usually do and
are glad to out of deep concern for the welfare of their
students. Most people, Mr.
DeBernardo, consider it a
matter of common courtesy
to extend appreciation to
those individuals who have
assisted them through the
donation of their time and
effcrts. They don't turn around and "stab them in the
back" by requiring them to
payia fee in a d e r to attend
their events.

To the Editor;
I am writing in protest
of the actions of the Lock
Haven State Security Force.
Ever since their participation
in the arrest of the "Lock
Haven Twelve", the role of
the guards has been contrary
to their intended function.
Their actions now are bent
more towards harassment than
protection. However, I must
add, they show much more
efficiency in their new role.

these faculty, administrators,
and staff just how much they
appreciate what they do for
them in the way of " e x t r a s "
by rescinding the present
policy which requires these
persons to pay their way to
campus events. Is this too
much to ask in return for the
above-mentioned favors?
I
think not.
2. You state, "Since you
are the head coach of baseball and are not involved with
any tickets or ticket sales,
perhaps you should have^consuited a coach who is familiar
with our ticket policy for
athletics."
Mr. DeBernardo, as an
assistant football coach for
the past five years and thereby connected closely with
a spor t which involves
tickets and ticket sales, I
am full aware of your ticket
policy for athletics and have
been for the past five years
All of us connected with the
athletic
program greatly
appreciate your policy of
complimentary athletic passes covering ourselves and
our families. We do, however,
take exception to the fact
that your ticket policies make
no provision for an out-of
season coach to obtain complimentary tickets for prospective
student-athletes
and/or their coaches (many
of whom are LHSC alumni)
who are visiting the campus
and desire to attend an
athletic event. Faced with
this situation, a coach has
the following alternatives
to pursue in searching for
to point out the fact that a
guard could be peering in
our window at any time. I do
not enjoy paying someone to
look in my window. The
guards are not only overstepping their boundaries, they
are ignoring their intended
duties. While security men
pes ter "undesirable'Mud ents
women students are being
attacked.
It is obviously
easier to catch a candle
burner than the person (or
persons) who has b; en
assaulting female students.
The guards have recently
had an undercover man,
slouched down in his car,
sit at various places around
campas to scrutinize student
activity. I feel that college
funds could be better spent
than on such clandestine
maneuvers.
The responsibility for the
appalling conduct of the
guards rests upon Mr. Smalley
and Mr. Nelson. They seem
tothinkit necessary to have
the student body under their
heel. Their priorities place
student rights at the bottom
of the heap, control is what
they are after. As students,
we must encourage either a
reorganization of priorities
or a reorganization of campus
personnel.
tickets: (1) Ask the prospective student-athlete and
his coach to pay for their
own tickets to the athletic
event. This request is certainly an excellent recruiting
technique, as it really encourages the student lo
attend our institution and
makes his coach eager to
recommend future prospects
from his high school.
(2) Ask the head coach
involved in the athletic
event for some of his 10
allotted tickets. This request certainly seems to be
a possibility since he always has a great many tickets left over after he has
used them for his own potential recruits, coaches,
friends, relatives, etc.
(3)
Ask the athletic
director for some of his 4
allotted tickets. After all,
having been allotted such a
large aumber and certainly
having no use for them in
his position as Director of
Athletics, he's surely to
have some left over.
(4) Pay for the prospective student-athlete and
his coach out of one's own
pocket.
This alternative,
having been used many times
by coaches at LHSC, is conducive to building high staff
morale.
I am confident, however,
Mr. DeBernardo, that your
organization (which I have
discovered, by the way,
after visiting each Pa. state
college, is one of the very
few which does not provide
ample recruiting expenditures for athletics) will take
steps necessary to remedy
the above problem. I say
this because I was informed
that
someone
associated
with your organization recently made an earnest attempt to discuss this problem
with a representative from
the athletic department in
order to see what could be
worked out. We do appreciate this ver y much.
(3) You state, "If the
Alumni of Lock Haven State
choose not to support their
college, it shouldn't be
pushed off as the fault of
the SCC."
I agree, the SCC should
not have to shoulder the
entire burden for the poor
alumni relations we presently have at LHSC. I do contend, however, Mr. DeBernardo, that your or ganization has indeed been partly
to blame. Each time you
deny our Alumni Director " a
few
lousy
complimentary
tickets for an infrequent
athletic event" to be used
by loyal hard-working, and
dedicated aluinni and each

PUB
pile
~^
by Mike Holter
Whether charred or otherwise, the garbage pile outside the service entrance to
the Eagle Wing snack bar is
perhaps one of the most unsightly sites on campus.
With students frequenting
the PUB on weekends in the
company of visiting friends
and relatives, the projected
image of the "Haven" might
be that of an inactive sanitary
landfill.
While funds have been
made available for a badly
needed campus beautification effort,
perhaps the
powers that be should take
another close up of the immediate environment. Since
there is limited space to
store the foodstuffs for the
snackbar, storing the garbage
in the
service
entrance
hallway is hardl>' a suitable
alternative.
With
a minimaT^ of
effort, time, money and manpower and a t:-.axirr.um of
cooperation so".e positive
solution could be applied to
our trashy problem. Surely
with the vast amount of
.\merican Technology and
know-how, some sort of container could be constructed
or purchased to hold the
mortal remains of pleasant
gastronomic experiences at
the snack bar.

^Dirty lenny^ resurrected in Lock Haven
by
Marlene Davy
Who was Lenny Bruce
and why does he merit a play
written about him?
The
answer-simple !
Lenny Bruce was a sat, i s i s t , who was and is something of a cult figure. Bruce
was a comic to whom nothing
was sacred—drugs, sex, religion.
"Dirty I x n n y " as he was
called, would take pokes at
the morality of America and
its hypocrisy.
In return
Americans would take their
pokes at Lenny.
They
couldn't take what Lenny
was telling them. His humor
was cutting and supposedly
damaging to the people.
Often it was probably close to
the

True, I agree.
You make several other
points however, Mr. DeBernardo, to which I take
exception:
1. You state, "And we would
like to point out that there
are 49 faculty, administrators, staff personnel, or
emeriti who obviously don't
consider such a policy (that
of requiring these individuals

number
of

Mr. DeBernardo, I took
it upon myself to find out
exactly how many faculty,
administrators, and staff
personnel there are on the
Lock Haven State campus, a
figure which you obviously
fail to mention and yet one
which is so important for
truly
understanding just
exactly what your "record
number" of 49 represents. I

Re: Reply to "Letter to the
Editor"
from
Richard
DeBernardo, Jan. 30, 1974
First of all, Mr. DeBernardo, I would like to thank
you for your letter of January 30. I appreciate your
interest in this matter.
I must admit that, after
merely glancing al the headtine ascribed your letter
("It was foolish of you, Mr.
Eberle"), I was quite concerned about my possible
embarassment for fear that
'I might have indeed appeared
"foolish". However, after
reading your letter, Mr.
DeBernardo, I found that this
roiion was dispelled quickly
from my mind without any
second thoughts whatsoever.
After
considerable
searching, I was able to find
one point in your letter with
which I agree. You state that
"Monies are contributed by
the currently enrolled students
Editorial..,
.\ situation currently
exists at LHS which has
been called 'messy' by
Governor Shapp, and 'sticky'
by Rich DeBernardo, president of the SCC. This
situation involves George
Bower's refusal to resign as
LHS student trustee.
The initial request for
Mr. Bower's resignation came
from Governor Shapp, soon
after Bower's graduation.
Shapp, who had appointed
him to the position, asked
George to resign because he
is no longer a student. However, Bower chose to retain
his legal rights, which permit him to serve on the board
for a three year term ending
in ! 975. At the time he made
this decision, George was
backed by the SCC president
and key LHS administrators.
But the SCC withdrew
their support with action
taken at the special SCC
meeting
held
Wednesday,
..'anuary 23. Passed at that
meeting ws a resolution
calling for Bower to resign
his position. George has

was quoted, by the Payroll
Office, an approximate figure
of 385 persons. I am by no
means a mathematician, however, I believe, if my figuring is correct, this means
(as you also clearly asserted
in your letter) that only 10
percent of the faculty, administrators, and staff personnel do not consider your
faculty/staff activity ticket
to be asinine while the
remaining 90 percent obviously feel, as I do, that
it is indeed asinine.
In addition, I would
venture further to voice the
opinion thit, of the very few
persons who do not purchas
*
your activity tickets, most of
them do not even agree with
your so -called "optional"
purchase ticket policy. In
reality, however, these people (all of whom want to
save money) are actually
forced
into either
this,
purchase or the practice of
not supporting campus events
at all. Let's face it- most
faculty, administrators, and
Res/gnafion is in order
necn informed of the decision
by letter. The SCC is now
awaiting his response.
I support the SCC's
action in requesting Bower
to resign. This would allow
a current LHS student, who
would be more in tune with
the opinions and problems of
students, to fill the position.
This is the basic qualification Bower now lacks.
Because he resides in Maryland, George is not in
constant communication with
the students. This point was
exemplified by the fact that
he did not formally learn of
the SCC's decision until
four days after it was made.
One reason cited by
Bower in defense of his
decision to remain student
trustee was that it takes
three years to learn how to
serve effectively in the
position. If this be so, the
student body is doomed to
either an ineffective student
representative or an out-oftouch alumnus.
However, I do sympathize with George's conten-
tion that Governor Shapp may
be operating extra-legally.
As the situation now stands,
LHS is without a trustee who
is a student because Shapp
refused to appoint a student
to fill a vacated seat on the
board. SCC president Rich
DeBernardo sent a letter to
the governor explaining his
oversight, but Shapp failed
to recognize his need for
action. A lawyer needed to
fight Shapp's position and
the subsequent trial would
prove too costly and time
consuming for LHS students.
Therefore,
George
Bower should recognize his
moral obligation and responsibility to the students
of LHS and resign even
though this action is not
required by law. The position
of student trustee represents
the only student voice in the
college's highest decisionmaking body. To preserve
the dignity and effectiveness
of this crucial position,
George Bower's resignation
is in order.
•A. K.
staff who are loyal to the
college and want to support
numerous campus events,
would choose the "lesser
e v i l " and purchase an a c tivity ticket rather than
thumb their n o s e s " at their
own institution and its activities. So you see, Mr. DeBernardo, your so called 'optional
purchase policy becomes, in
reality, actually a mandatory
purchase policy for many of
those 49 people who want to
save money, who want to
attend campus events, and
who must, therefore, purchase an activity ticket.
In essence, Mr. DeBernardo, I (along with most
faculty, administration, and
staff, I'm sure) consider your
policy of requiring faculty,
administration, and staff to
pay admission to campus
events to be a real "stab in
the back" to those individuals
at LHSC who perform so many
'extras' for students, yet are
not compensated for these
favors in any way. For instance, did you ever stop to
consider what would happen,
Mr. DeBernardo, if faculty
and administrators suddenly
refused to (1) write recommendations
for
students
seeking employment or admission to gr£(duate school,
(2) serve as advisors and
sponsors of student clubs,
fraternities, sororities, and
other organizations, (3) advise
and counsel students in
personal matters as well ad
school matters, (4) serve as
guest speakers, lecturers, or
panel members at various
student affairs, etc., etc., etc.
Unprofessional
you say?
True, I agree. All of ths se
are duties which faculty and
administrators are not required by their contracts, to
perform yet usually do and
are glad to out of deep concern for the welfare of their
students. Most people, Mr.
DeBernardo, consider it a
matter of common courtesy
to extend appreciation to
those individuals who have
assisted them through the
donation of their time and
effcrts. They don't turn around and "stab them in the
back" by requiring them to
payia fee in a d e r to attend
their events.

To the Editor;
I am writing in protest
of the actions of the Lock
Haven State Security Force.
Ever since their participation
in the arrest of the "Lock
Haven Twelve", the role of
the guards has been contrary
to their intended function.
Their actions now are bent
more towards harassment than
protection. However, I must
add, they show much more
efficiency in their new role.

these faculty, administrators,
and staff just how much they
appreciate what they do for
them in the way of " e x t r a s "
by rescinding the present
policy which requires these
persons to pay their way to
campus events. Is this too
much to ask in return for the
above-mentioned favors?
I
think not.
2. You state, "Since you
are the head coach of baseball and are not involved with
any tickets or ticket sales,
perhaps you should have^consuited a coach who is familiar
with our ticket policy for
athletics."
Mr. DeBernardo, as an
assistant football coach for
the past five years and thereby connected closely with
a spor t which involves
tickets and ticket sales, I
am full aware of your ticket
policy for athletics and have
been for the past five years
All of us connected with the
athletic
program greatly
appreciate your policy of
complimentary athletic passes covering ourselves and
our families. We do, however,
take exception to the fact
that your ticket policies make
no provision for an out-of
season coach to obtain complimentary tickets for prospective
student-athletes
and/or their coaches (many
of whom are LHSC alumni)
who are visiting the campus
and desire to attend an
athletic event. Faced with
this situation, a coach has
the following alternatives
to pursue in searching for
to point out the fact that a
guard could be peering in
our window at any time. I do
not enjoy paying someone to
look in my window. The
guards are not only overstepping their boundaries, they
are ignoring their intended
duties. While security men
pes ter "undesirable'Mud ents
women students are being
attacked.
It is obviously
easier to catch a candle
burner than the person (or
persons) who has b; en
assaulting female students.
The guards have recently
had an undercover man,
slouched down in his car,
sit at various places around
campas to scrutinize student
activity. I feel that college
funds could be better spent
than on such clandestine
maneuvers.
The responsibility for the
appalling conduct of the
guards rests upon Mr. Smalley
and Mr. Nelson. They seem
tothinkit necessary to have
the student body under their
heel. Their priorities place
student rights at the bottom
of the heap, control is what
they are after. As students,
we must encourage either a
reorganization of priorities
or a reorganization of campus
personnel.
tickets: (1) Ask the prospective student-athlete and
his coach to pay for their
own tickets to the athletic
event. This request is certainly an excellent recruiting
technique, as it really encourages the student lo
attend our institution and
makes his coach eager to
recommend future prospects
from his high school.
(2) Ask the head coach
involved in the athletic
event for some of his 10
allotted tickets. This request certainly seems to be
a possibility since he always has a great many tickets left over after he has
used them for his own potential recruits, coaches,
friends, relatives, etc.
(3)
Ask the athletic
director for some of his 4
allotted tickets. After all,
having been allotted such a
large aumber and certainly
having no use for them in
his position as Director of
Athletics, he's surely to
have some left over.
(4) Pay for the prospective student-athlete and
his coach out of one's own
pocket.
This alternative,
having been used many times
by coaches at LHSC, is conducive to building high staff
morale.
I am confident, however,
Mr. DeBernardo, that your
organization (which I have
discovered, by the way,
after visiting each Pa. state
college, is one of the very
few which does not provide
ample recruiting expenditures for athletics) will take
steps necessary to remedy
the above problem. I say
this because I was informed
that
someone
associated
with your organization recently made an earnest attempt to discuss this problem
with a representative from
the athletic department in
order to see what could be
worked out. We do appreciate this ver y much.
(3) You state, "If the
Alumni of Lock Haven State
choose not to support their
college, it shouldn't be
pushed off as the fault of
the SCC."
I agree, the SCC should
not have to shoulder the
entire burden for the poor
alumni relations we presently have at LHSC. I do contend, however, Mr. DeBernardo, that your or ganization has indeed been partly
to blame. Each time you
deny our Alumni Director " a
few
lousy
complimentary
tickets for an infrequent
athletic event" to be used
by loyal hard-working, and
dedicated aluinni and each

PUB
pile
~^
by Mike Holter
Whether charred or otherwise, the garbage pile outside the service entrance to
the Eagle Wing snack bar is
perhaps one of the most unsightly sites on campus.
With students frequenting
the PUB on weekends in the
company of visiting friends
and relatives, the projected
image of the "Haven" might
be that of an inactive sanitary
landfill.
While funds have been
made available for a badly
needed campus beautification effort,
perhaps the
powers that be should take
another close up of the immediate environment. Since
there is limited space to
store the foodstuffs for the
snackbar, storing the garbage
in the
service
entrance
hallway is hardl>' a suitable
alternative.
With
a minimaT^ of
effort, time, money and manpower and a t:-.axirr.um of
cooperation so".e positive
solution could be applied to
our trashy problem. Surely
with the vast amount of
.\merican Technology and

or purchased to hold the
mortal remains of pleasant
gastronomic experiences at
the snack bar.
