Lock Haven State College
Maps and booklets describe authors ^°ss to be held

How do you find out what
famous writers have been born
in Pennsylvania? Or resided in
the state? Or wrote important
works associated with Pennsylvania?
The answers are now available through up-to-date maps
and accompanying booklets
published in October by the
Pennsylvania Council of
Teachers of English, according
to Professor May Ireland,
president of the council and a
faculty member at Lock Haven
State College.
The "Literary Map of Pennsylvania" measures 17 by 22
inches, is printed in red and
blue, and indicates the locations associated with the
authors. Bordering the map
are lists of the authors who are
writers of world, national, or
state renown and were born in
Pennsylvania, resided in
Pennsylvania for an appreciable period of time, or are
authors of important works
associated with Pennsylvania.
These authors range from
such well-known writers as
anthropologist Margaret
Mead, born in Philadelphia,
and novelist John O'Hara,
born in Pottsville, to naturalist
Euell Gibbons, who lives in
Beavertown, to Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration
of Independence.
The accompanying booklet
for the map, the "Biographical
Companion to the literary Map
of Pennsylvania," provides a
biographical sketch of each
author listed on the map.
Other Pennsylvania-born
authors include dramatist
Maxwell Anderson, Crawford
County; poet Stephen Vincent
Benet, Bethlehem; naturalist
Rachel Carson, Springdale;
American Indian authority
George Catiin, Wilkes-Barre;
literary critic, Malcolm
Cowley, Belsano; dramatist
Gcroge S. Kauffman, Pittsburgh; novelist Conrad
Ritcher. Pine Grove; artist
John Sloan. Lock Haven;
patron of the arts Gertrude
Stein, Allegheny; poet
Wallace Stevens, Reading;

The Mass of the Resurrection for Lorna Armstrong
will be held Thursday November 13th at 4 p.m. in Sloan
Theater.
Celebrant of the Mass
will be Father Bob Conlin,
assistant pastor of St. Agnes
Roman Catholic Church and
chaplain to the Newmann
Club. International students
will serve as lectors and
pallbearers. The Newman

Although the Catholic
funeral service is usually held
in a church, due to the fact that
Ms. Armstrong was a member
of the student body and active
in theater, Father Conlin has
consented to the Sloan Theater
site.
The service will be

Students may still apply for financial aid
Out of a total of approximately 2,450 students enrolled at Lock Haven this semester, 1,050 are receiving financial aid in some amount. This
financial aid is in the form of
either a loan, part-time employment, grant, or a scholar-
ship from some source.
A total of 1,200 to 1,250
have applied for financial aid
of some sort. After the 150 to
200 ineligible students are
taken from this number, 45
percent of the student body is
receiving financial aid.
CAS convenes at California
CAS representatives from
the 14 state colleges recently
gathered at aCalifornia State
College to participate in the
organization's first convention
scheduled for this year.
Collective discussion and
comparison
of
specific
problems confronting CAS
Coordinators on various state
college campuses was an
activity of major concern at the
convention.
"We had a lot of good
discussion," said Lock Haven
CAS coordinator,
Paul
Benkert. "It was a meeting to
get acquainted with the new
executive director and field
representative."
Executive Director Eugene
Carroll and field representative Richard Kinane were
introduced to the audience of
CAS representatives and
jointly facilitated the meeting.
"This number will increase
by next semester," stated
Bryan Van Deun, Financial
Aid director. The reason for
the increase, he reported, is
additional eligibility and more
money still available.
"It is still not too late,"
Van Deun said, "to apply for
financial aid for next semester." He pointed out, though,
that this must be done within
the next few weeks.
The greatest possibilities
forfinancialaid still remaining
for next semester are workstudy and National Direct
Student Loans according to
Van Deun.
Anyone wishing to apply
for financial aid for next
semester should go to the
financial aid office

Commentary....
Selling the candidates
By LARRY SCHMIDT
News Editor
Nobody's an angel!
When something important
comes up, when there's something that we really want, none
of us ever thinks that cheating
is all that bad.
This past week I relearned some of the "human
nature truisms" that 1 have
been trying to push from my
naive mind. The source of my
learning experience was the
SCC executive committee elections. From it 1 learned the
unquestionable value of
slander, the harmless yet
satisfying effect lies can have,
the truth in the statement
"nothing said - nothing said
wrone" and most importantiy
- the unbelievable gullibility of
students and how easily they
can be deceived.
Now you have to
understand that when I say I
learned the value of slander
and how gullible students are,
1 don't mean to imply that the
Co-op slate won simply because they were the better
slanderers. I don't mean that
at all.
What 1 would like to
point out is that the Co-operative slate ran an absolutely
brilliant campaign in the Nixon- Agnew smear tradition.
They were clever
undeniably crafty in their campaign strategy.
Look'. people have been
studying how to run the
"perfect campaign" for some
time now. Slimy Madison
Avenue ad-men have been
advising crooks like Nixon for
years that the way to get ahead
is not to present ideas, but
rather to look your best while
you stab your opponent in the
back or cut his throat.
The Co-operative slate
campaign was one of the finest
examples of low-handed trickery I've seen in a long time.
They used all the tricks and
used them well.
Consider how skillfull it was
to attack the objectivity of the
press BEFORE anything was
even written. I mean, that was
an absolutely crafty move. If
anything bad was printed
about the Co-operative slate
the students [those that can
read] could immediately
assume that we were being
biased. Great use of slander!
Its even better when you
realize that they used this
same "biased" newspaper to
outline their ideas and attack
the press.
Wasn't it great the way
they kept themselves from
appearing before campus-wide
groups [the open press conference] prefering instead to
appear before specialized
groups (individual dorms, athletic teams). They could promise the individual groups
anythingand never worry about
whether it conflicted with
another group's interests. Besides even if they can't fulfill
their promises - they've already been elected.
The Objective slate
kept arousing resentment by
trying to explain their ideas
and taking realistic stances.
Somehow the Co-operative
slate stayed away from all
this confusion. If the Objective slate did propose a
popular idea, the Co-operative

Social catharsis lives in the cellar of Sigma Pi
•'Schoolboys throw out all the
stops on a Friday Night. . . . "
Bruce Springsteen
By TOM MURRAY
Staff Reporter
Perhaps the single most
important social phenomena in
America is the weekly assault
on the nervous system called
Friday Night. It may be the
only ritual shared with equal
enthusiasm by everybody, regardless of race, color, creed,
etc. On Friday Night everyone
boogies. It is the true American melting pot.
At Lock Haven State
College, a major focal point for
Friday Night aficionados is the
Sigma Pi Party. As a Friday
Night activity it is neariy as
traditional as going home for
the weekend.
There are two basic
stimuli at the core of the
Friday Night ideal: alcohol and
sex.
The Sigma Pi party
affords opportunity for indulgence in both.
Like gangster movies,
fraternity parties are genre
events. They follow a formula
that, while not entirely predictable, nevertheless leaves
the participant with relatively
the same impression, and
aftertaste.
The Party actually begins not at the Sigma Pi house
at all, but in the residence
halls and apartments of the
party-goers. The last class cut
of the week is made and the
volume on the stereo is
cranked up a notch or two. The
booze is broken out, and the
joints are lit as soon as the
doors are locked.
The Great Imbibe has
begun.
The Arrival at a Sigma
Pi party is no less strategic an
act than fading blue jeans or
gettin seconds at the cafeteria.
The trick is to leave early
enough to get there fashionably late. It's true that a small
group has made their arrival
around 9:00, but these are
exceptions. Largely males,
they hang at the celler bar and
pour their own. They are the
truly thirsty, the truly horny.
Desperados.
Meanwhile, in the
apartments and the dorms,
they are ready. Out of McEntire, Gross and High they
come and parade down Main
Street in groups of four and
eight. They have dollars in
their pockets and their knuckles are bared for the mandatory stamp at the firat house
door.
Everybody arrives within a half hour, the half hour
that includes the Magic Moment.
The Magic Moment is
real. I have seen it myself, and
it occurs at precisely ten
minutes after ten every Friday
Night.
Suddenly, the stairs to
the cellar are as packed as an
escalator in Macy's on Christmas Eve. The cellar is as

EAGLE EYE
2nd seeded booters face Hopkins
By MIKE COX
Staff Retwrter
After a two-week lay
off. Coach Kari Herrmann's
Bald Eagle Booters are back to
the soccer scene once again,
hosting John's Hopkins University this Saturday to kickoff the Eastern qualifiers of
the 1975 NCAA Div. Ill soccer
championships.
Johns Hopkins, out of
Baltimore Maryland, are the
number three seeded team in
the qualifier, coming into this
game against the second seeded Bald Eagles with a 10-1-1
record. They have scored 32
goals in their twelve games
while giving up just six tallies
and registering seven shutouts
during the season. Johns
Hopkins has defeated Towson
State and Gettysburg by identical 4-1 scores and powerful
Baltimore University 4-2.
The team from Maryland has blanked both Haverford and Washington College
by 3-0 margins, last year's
NCAA Div. Ill runner-up
Swarthmore 2-0, Loyala and
Georgetown by 1-0 margins,
and Ursinus and Franklin and
Marshall by 4-0 and 5-0 scores
respectively.
Their only loss was a
1-0 squeaker to Delaware,
presently ranked number four
in the East. The only other
blemish on Johns Hopkins
record a 1-1 tie with Dickinson
University.
"They have a highly
skilled ball control team,"
stated Herrmann, when asked
about this Saturday's opponent. "We're going to have to
work hard and pick them up
tight and not give them a
chance to settle. We'll have to
beat them at midfield - which
is where a game is usually won
or lost."
"They're a very strong
defensive team," added the
Eagle head mentor. "They're
given up just six goals in twice
as many games. Its certainly
going to be a test for us as far
as doing something offensively

The Lock Haven State
Women's Field Hockey Team
will be travelling to Millersville November 13-15 to compete in the regional collegiate
tournament. The tournament
will be single elimination with
a consolation round for third
place.
The Eaglettes, supporting
an 11-0-1 record, are seeded
No. 1 going into the tournament. Their first game will be
against Rutgers Thursday
morning. Five out of the top
eight teams are from Pennsylvania. Those teams are Lock
Haven, West aChester, Penn
State, Ursinus, and East
Stroudsburg. The other three
states in the region include
New Jersey, Delaware, and
Maryland.
The team has set three new
records this season. Those
records are the most wins, the
most shut-outs, and the most
consecutive shut-outs in a
single season.
Senior Captain Cathy
Sherman commented on the
regionals, saying "Everyone is
out to beat us, but if we play
our game we should come out
on top."
Senior Jo Ernst agreed,
stating that "We have out
work cut out for us. The
potential is there, but it will
take a total team effort."
Senior Superstar Ronnie
Lawson added that "Regionals
will be a more difficult tournament than nationals because
the top naitonal powers are in
our region. If we play our
game and don't let down it is
indicative that we will be at the
national tournament."

crowded as a Chicago stockyard. Even the eternal puddle
by the bar is filled with
sneakers and Earth Shoes. The
stereo, silent for the past five
minutes, erupts into "Get

A keg is sucked dry in
seconds flat.
The new arrivals focus
their attention on the three tap
bar in the cellar. Unfortunately
the density of the crowd makes
getting a beer equivalent to
running the gauntlet. It takes
either the patience of a saint or
the force of a bulldozer.
Even after you have bit
clawed, squirmed and shoved
your way to the bar you still
aren't out of the woods.
You've got your beer(s), but
you are also crushed against
the bar by a crazed, parched
mob. You must make a
decision: either risk spilling
the fruits of your labor or
suffer a severe attack of
claustrophobia.
Nowhere in town can so
much beer be drank at such
minimal cost. And with the
resultant inebriation comes
liberation, which finds its
expression in Dance.
The Dancers at Sigma
Pi lack both the polish of Soul
Train and the technique of St.

bumps frequentiy miss the

But aesthetics aside,

It was the perfect controlled campaign, even down
to that last subtle slam presented on the very day of the
election. Humbly the Co-operative slate graciously accepted that the Eagle Eye just
couldn't help but be prejudiced towards their friends.
It worked! The student

he thought the Co-operative

smiled "That's politics."
Alot of people would

After all, this election places

Ultimately
this
commentary will be judged by
some as proof positive that the
Eagle Eye was or is biased in

such underhanded campaigning would seem a gross
ignorance on the part of a
writer.

with the poor lighting and
general alcoholic haze. A
nod's a good as a wink to a
blind horse.
The art of conversation
may or may not be dead. At
Sigma Pi it is mostly unintelligible. Imagine the countless
words of endearment and
proposition that go unheeded
because of the insistent droning of the Doobie Brothers.
The Most important
topics concern the availability
of beer. Phrases like "Get me
a beer?" and "Is there any
more beer?" act as gauges in
the lifespan of the party.
It is when the latter
question is met with a negative
response that the death knell
has sounded for the Sigma Pi
Party. Without fuel the vehicle
grounds to a halt.
Thirsty or not, there is
something inherently wrong in
partying without a styrofoam
cup of Schlitz in your hand at
all times.
With the beer gone the
cellar empties quickly. A few
diehards dance a while, but
not long. New found lovers
seek fun on another plane, and
the search grows monotonous
for the rest.
The party's over.
But not forgotten by

1 don't mean to imply that the
Co-op slate won simply because they were the better
slanderers. I don't mean that
at all.
What 1 would like to
point out is that the Co-operative slate ran an absolutely
brilliant campaign in the Nixon- Agnew smear tradition.
They were clever
undeniably crafty in their campaign strategy.
Look'. people have been
studying how to run the
"perfect campaign" for some
time now. Slimy Madison
Avenue ad-men have been
advising crooks like Nixon for
years that the way to get ahead
is not to present ideas, but
rather to look your best while
you stab your opponent in the
back or cut his throat.
The Co-operative slate
campaign was one of the finest
examples of low-handed trickery I've seen in a long time.
They used all the tricks and
used them well.
Consider how skillfull it was
to attack the objectivity of the
press BEFORE anything was
even written. I mean, that was
an absolutely crafty move. If
anything bad was printed
about the Co-operative slate
the students [those that can
read] could immediately
assume that we were being
biased. Great use of slander!
Its even better when you
realize that they used this
same "biased" newspaper to
outline their ideas and attack
the press.
Wasn't it great the way
they kept themselves from
appearing before campus-wide
groups [the open press conference] prefering instead to
appear before specialized
groups (individual dorms, athletic teams). They could promise the individual groups
anythingand never worry about
whether it conflicted with
another group's interests. Besides even if they can't fulfill
their promises - they've already been elected.
The Objective slate
kept arousing resentment by
trying to explain their ideas
and taking realistic stances.
Somehow the Co-operative
slate stayed away from all
this confusion. If the Objective slate did propose a
popular idea, the Co-operative

Social catharsis lives in the cellar of Sigma Pi
•'Schoolboys throw out all the
stops on a Friday Night. . . . "
Bruce Springsteen
By TOM MURRAY
Staff Reporter
Perhaps the single most
important social phenomena in
America is the weekly assault
on the nervous system called
Friday Night. It may be the
only ritual shared with equal
enthusiasm by everybody, regardless of race, color, creed,
etc. On Friday Night everyone
boogies. It is the true American melting pot.
At Lock Haven State
College, a major focal point for
Friday Night aficionados is the
Sigma Pi Party. As a Friday
Night activity it is neariy as
traditional as going home for
the weekend.
There are two basic
stimuli at the core of the
Friday Night ideal: alcohol and
sex.
The Sigma Pi party
affords opportunity for indulgence in both.
Like gangster movies,
fraternity parties are genre
events. They follow a formula
that, while not entirely predictable, nevertheless leaves
the participant with relatively
the same impression, and
aftertaste.
The Party actually begins not at the Sigma Pi house
at all, but in the residence
halls and apartments of the
party-goers. The last class cut
of the week is made and the
volume on the stereo is
cranked up a notch or two. The
booze is broken out, and the
joints are lit as soon as the
doors are locked.
The Great Imbibe has
begun.
The Arrival at a Sigma
Pi party is no less strategic an
act than fading blue jeans or
gettin seconds at the cafeteria.
The trick is to leave early
enough to get there fashionably late. It's true that a small
group has made their arrival
around 9:00, but these are
exceptions. Largely males,
they hang at the celler bar and
pour their own. They are the
truly thirsty, the truly horny.
Desperados.
Meanwhile, in the
apartments and the dorms,
they are ready. Out of McEntire, Gross and High they
come and parade down Main
Street in groups of four and
eight. They have dollars in
their pockets and their knuckles are bared for the mandatory stamp at the firat house
door.
Everybody arrives within a half hour, the half hour
that includes the Magic Moment.
The Magic Moment is
real. I have seen it myself, and
it occurs at precisely ten
minutes after ten every Friday
Night.
Suddenly, the stairs to
the cellar are as packed as an
escalator in Macy's on Christmas Eve. The cellar is as

Playoff game Saturday
EAGLE EYE
2nd seeded booters face Hopkins
By MIKE COX
Staff Retwrter
After a two-week lay
off. Coach Kari Herrmann's
Bald Eagle Booters are back to
the soccer scene once again,
hosting John's Hopkins University this Saturday to kickoff the Eastern qualifiers of
the 1975 NCAA Div. Ill soccer
championships.
Johns Hopkins, out of
Baltimore Maryland, are the
number three seeded team in
the qualifier, coming into this
game against the second seeded Bald Eagles with a 10-1-1
record. They have scored 32
goals in their twelve games
while giving up just six tallies
and registering seven shutouts
during the season. Johns
Hopkins has defeated Towson
State and Gettysburg by identical 4-1 scores and powerful
Baltimore University 4-2.
The team from Maryland has blanked both Haverford and Washington College
by 3-0 margins, last year's
NCAA Div. Ill runner-up
Swarthmore 2-0, Loyala and
Georgetown by 1-0 margins,
and Ursinus and Franklin and
Marshall by 4-0 and 5-0 scores
respectively.
Their only loss was a
1-0 squeaker to Delaware,
presently ranked number four
in the East. The only other
blemish on Johns Hopkins
record a 1-1 tie with Dickinson
University.
"They have a highly
skilled ball control team,"
stated Herrmann, when asked
about this Saturday's opponent. "We're going to have to
work hard and pick them up
tight and not give them a
chance to settle. We'll have to
beat them at midfield - which
is where a game is usually won
or lost."
"They're a very strong
defensive team," added the
Eagle head mentor. "They're
given up just six goals in twice
as many games. Its certainly
going to be a test for us as far
as doing something offensively
against them because no-one
else has.

Field hockey team

By AND! HOFFMAN
Staff Reporter
The Lock Haven State
Women's Field Hockey Team
will be travelling to Millersville November 13-15 to compete in the regional collegiate
tournament. The tournament
will be single elimination with
a consolation round for third
place.
The Eaglettes, supporting
an 11-0-1 record, are seeded
No. 1 going into the tournament. Their first game will be
against Rutgers Thursday
morning. Five out of the top
eight teams are from Pennsylvania. Those teams are Lock
Haven, West aChester, Penn
State, Ursinus, and East
Stroudsburg. The other three
states in the region include
New Jersey, Delaware, and
Maryland.
The team has set three new
records this season. Those
records are the most wins, the
most shut-outs, and the most
consecutive shut-outs in a
single season.
Senior Captain Cathy
Sherman commented on the
regionals, saying "Everyone is
out to beat us, but if we play
our game we should come out
on top."
Senior Jo Ernst agreed,
stating that "We have out
work cut out for us. The
potential is there, but it will
take a total team effort."
Senior Superstar Ronnie
Lawson added that "Regionals
will be a more difficult tournament than nationals because
the top naitonal powers are in
our region. If we play our
game and don't let down it is
indicative that we will be at the
national tournament."

crowded as a Chicago stockyard. Even the eternal puddle
by the bar is filled with
sneakers and Earth Shoes. The
stereo, silent for the past five
minutes, erupts into "Get
Down Tonight."
A keg is sucked dry in
seconds flat.
The new arrivals focus
their attention on the three tap
bar in the cellar. Unfortunately
the density of the crowd makes
getting a beer equivalent to
running the gauntlet. It takes
either the patience of a saint or
the force of a bulldozer.
Even after you have bit
clawed, squirmed and shoved
your way to the bar you still
aren't out of the woods.
You've got your beer(s), but
you are also crushed against
the bar by a crazed, parched
mob. You must make a
decision: either risk spilling
the fruits of your labor or
suffer a severe attack of
claustrophobia.
Nowhere in town can so
much beer be drank at such
minimal cost. And with the
resultant inebriation comes
liberation, which finds its
expression in Dance.
The Dancers at Sigma
Pi lack both the polish of Soul
Train and the technique of St.
Vitus' famous ensemble. Their
bumps frequentiy miss the
mark or are too heavily
applied. The Lock Haven
Hustle has yet to put 'em away
on American Bandstand.
But aesthetics aside,
the kids are having a whale of
a time. The music they dance
to ranges from the pleasantiy
innocuos to the glaringly insipid. But you can't dance to
Dylan anyway. When amplified to a certain degree even
Led Zeppelin produces some
movement, if only out of sheer
discomfort.

It was the perfect controlled campaign, even down
to that last subtle slam presented on the very day of the
election. Humbly the Co-operative slate graciously accepted that the Eagle Eye just
couldn't help but be prejudiced towards their friends.
It worked! The student
body wants this stuff. One
supporter even admitted that
he thought the Co-operative
slate was using crookery but
smiled "That's politics."
Alot of people would
judge Lock Haven as existing
in a 10 year time-warp yet
apparentiy this isn't the case.
After all, this election places
us right in the Nixon-Agnew
heydey.
Ultimately
this
commentary will be judged by
some as proof positive that the
Eagle Eye was or is biased in
covering news. I contest this
by pointing out that it was
written following the elections,
and is offered only as my
personal opinion. To ignore
such underhanded campaigning would seem a gross
ignorance on the part of a
writer.
a great advantage to being a
male. A tree or a shrub, it's as
simple as that. But the poor
women, through physiology
and social conditioning, must
use more technical appliances.
And so long lines of pained
smiles are formed outside the
bathroom doors.
When the boys and
girls aren't taking care of their
bladders they are out there
looking for a prospective
Romeo or Juliet. Despite the
difficulties in projecting animal magnetism in a dimly lit
cellar full of writhing crazies,
moves are still make with
satisfactory results. Eye contact isn't much good though,
with the poor lighting and
general alcoholic haze. A
nod's a good as a wink to a
blind horse.
The art of conversation
may or may not be dead. At
Sigma Pi it is mostly unintelligible. Imagine the countless
words of endearment and
proposition that go unheeded
because of the insistent droning of the Doobie Brothers.
The Most important
topics concern the availability
of beer. Phrases like "Get me
a beer?" and "Is there any
more beer?" act as gauges in
the lifespan of the party.
It is when the latter
question is met with a negative
response that the death knell
has sounded for the Sigma Pi
Party. Without fuel the vehicle
grounds to a halt.
Thirsty or not, there is
something inherently wrong in
partying without a styrofoam
cup of Schlitz in your hand at
all times.
With the beer gone the
cellar empties quickly. A few
diehards dance a while, but
not long. New found lovers
seek fun on another plane, and
the search grows monotonous
for the rest.
The party's over.
But not forgotten by
Wednesday the perennial Lock
Haven question, "What's
happening this weekend?" is
answered with theperennial
Lock Haven answer, "I don't
know what's going on Saturday, but Friday Night, well,
there's always Sigma Pi."
