River and Anxiety Rises-Precautionary Measures Taken for Flood
By JULIE BRENNAN and
SUSAN SHELLY — Flood
Editors
Activities continued as
normal on campus last
night, but downtown, precautionary measures were
taken by people living
along the river, as the
water level neared 20 feet
at 8 PM.
Books and other items
were removed from the Immaculate Conception school
on Water Street early yesterday afternoon and students were sent home
early.
Volunteers were prepared to start pumping the
basement of the YMCA,
which according to one
spokesman, was already
flooded at this water level
'in other similar incidences.
When asked why the
basement was not flooded,
he answered, "that's what
we're trying to figure out."
Dr. Francis Hamblin,
college president, who lives
on Water Street, said he
was not terribly concerned
about his home being
flooded. He said the water
level would have to rise
about five more feet before
his home would be in
danger of being flooded.
He also reported that he
anticipates no cancellation
of school because of flood-
ing.
Area roads were reported
to be flooded in low-lying
areas and some were
closed. Some planes at
Piper Aircraft were flown to
State College and others
were moved to higher
ground on Piper property.
Students moved cars
from parking area 9 yesterday in anticipation of high
waters.
Members of Tri Sigma
sorority were seen on
Water Street offering as-
sistance to reside*ts. Members of other Greek
sororities were also reported to be helping people
move belongings from
homes in danger of being
flooded.
It was predicted that the
river would crest at about
21 feet at approximately
2:00 this morning.
The high waters were
welcomed by some things.
A flock of sea gulls was
sighted last hight near the
Jay Street Bridge.

Black Arts Festival Concludes Successful Week with Gospel Choir
By CLARENCE WASHINGTON
The LHS Black Arts Festival came to an end as it
boasted an entertaining
weekend of activity. The
weekend included a heavy
card of business for all
three consecutive evenings.
On Friday night a variety
show featuring students of
the LHS Black Culture
Society displayed a number
of talented young perfor-
mers. They sang, danced,
acted and played the piano
much to the delight of the
crowd. Richard "the eel"
Francis, the master of
ceremonies kept the show
flowing smooth as the performers unleashed their
talents. Darsell Brittingham and Rachine Mazyck
dominated most of the solo
singing performances and
Katherine Fox, Maryse
Piere Jean and Carla Willis
"buddy" Brodie. The skit
was a comical look at a
Gospel choir searching for a
talented singer to lead their
choir in song. Brodie and
Montgomery were featured
along with other members
of the BCS.
Saturday night included
a banquet headlining guest
speaker Mrs. Thelma Johnson of the Pennsylvania
Human Relations Commission, a fashion show by
[Photos by GLENN CHESTER]
handled the piano playing
duties. Pierre Jean and
Willis showed another
dimension of their talents
as they played songs that
they composed themselves.
Other bright spots in the
show included: dance routines, a piano improvosation and probably the most
humerus event of the show,
a skit produced by Fred
Montgomery and Otis
members ofthe BCS, and a
semi-formal dance featuring "The Bliss Band" from
Indiana, Pennsylvania.
Sunday, the final night of
the festival belonged to the
United Ministry of Christ
Gospel Choir from the
University of Penn State.
They performed a number
of spirit moving gospel
melodies. The BCS gospel
choir also produced a
couple of gospel songs and
featured a solo performance by Kevin " J o e
Wash" Washington who
sang the theme from the
movie the "Greatest" entitled "The Grea'.est Love
of. All"
Maritza Tason, Human
Relations Coordinator said
that the Festival was a
success, and that she was
very pleased with the
quality of the performances.

Commentary
By CHRISTOPHER FLYNN
Appearing in this issue of the Eagle Eye will be
quite a number of things as regards my past actions
as Chairperson of Cultural Affairs. Up to this point,
I've maintained a rather low profile about the whole
incident.
The SCC Senate has banned me from any further
involvement with that organization, and that's just
fine w i t h me, seeing how they've blown my
credibility to hell.
Certain members of the SCC have made some
pretty inflammatory remarks about my actions and
my character. I've been accused of having made a
deal with The Provisional Theatre of Los Angeles,
which would have given my a job after graduation.
Nothing could be farther from the t r u t h .
In a lot of people's eyes, I'm seen as a usurper of
power which wasn't mine. Whether that's true or
not matters little, i just happen to be the perfect
scapegoat.
If my dismissal had been handled in a more
appropriate manner, things might have been
different. It was rather rude, and no one went to the
trouble at the time to find out what the committee
was doing. But there's no point in crying over spilt
milk.
As regards my paying the SCC $500 for my supposed transgressions; like I said at the Finance
Committee meeting; The SCC does not have a legal
foot to stand on, however you could try a public
flogging, but heck that's illegal too. Don't feel so
bad folks, you win some, you lose some. I neither
won nor lost, but I have made a lot of news.
However its time to move one, because if we all sit
around and stew over this, we'll only give ourselves ulcers
Counselors Protested
Dear Editor,
•We, the members of a
North Hall floor, would like
the whole • campus of
L.H.S.C. to know of our
dilemma. In the past two
weeks, a certain counselor
on the floor has begun to
intimidate the majority of
the white population, while
cutting members of his won
race breaks. We feel that
this is discrimination. We
are the only floor on
Campus that have (sic) two
colored counselors. We
know that most of the floors
have two white counselors,
but then most if not all of
the floors are white. Why
do we have two colored
counselors? When the
colored residents of the
floor break a rule the
counselors head is always
turned. A white person
guilty of an offense is
prosecuted by the counselor and the hall manager
and dormitory probation
usually results. Why does
this happen. Is the counselor prejudice or does he feel
he may lose his job, if he
doesn't get some quick
busts to help save it. Do
counselors have quotas to
reach? Somehow the people
being prosecuted seem to
be white.
We want to know can and
if so will anything be done
to correct this situation? If
yes, we hope it happens
soon.

Committee Criticized
To the Editor,
I really sympathize with
the ill-informed SCC Concert Committee, they obviously know very little about
what is happening in contemporary music. This is
exhibited by their recent
Livingston Taylor concert.
How many people did they
think he could possibly
draw?
For the last three years, I
had been in the mainstream
of the entertainment in
New York and North
Jersey, so, I feel I have the
authority to speak out on
this subject. In order to
promote an act properly,
the act must, first, be able
to draw people. In order to
draw people the act must
have two things; a substantial amount of national hype
and local airplay on the
radio stations. Livingston
Taylor, a "class C" act, has
neither. His only claim to
fame is that he is the
brother of James Taylor, a
fine artist in his own right.
Sarcasticly speaking, why
not get Mick Jagger's
younger brother and see
how may people he would
draw? After all, he has two
albums to his credit, that
did nothing.
The point is that the SCC
Concert Committee could
be doing a better job than
they {ire, but their knowledge of the complex
entertainment field is
rather limited. Look, we
have an adequate facility in
Thomas Field House, which
could concievably hold
3,000 people for a show,
why not put it to use? We
could be getting the same
caliber of acts that the
Tower in Philadelphia or
the Capitol in New Jersey
get and not overpaying
them, which has been
habitual at Lock Haven.
Due to the incapabilities
of past SCC Social Committee chairpersons we have
missed out on some fine
acts, such as Foreigner,
Boston, Meatloaf, Peter
Frampton, to name a few
when they were just
breaking nationaly. It is
my suggestion that the SCC
Concert Committee work
with a promoter that wants
to help the college and not
line his own pockets. I
would also like some
feedback on this from the
SCC Concert Committee,
because I am concerned
very much about this
matter. You can get in
touch with me at Sigma Pi.
Thank you.

An elderly woman, who fancies herself Dorothy
of Oz, wanders about looking for the lost Toto—an
ancient butler rambles about in a deaf daze—a
husband offers to pay his wife's lover for "services
rendered"—these are some of the bizarre characters and situations one will f i n d in the College
Players studio production of " S y m b i o s i s , " to be
presented March 6, 7, 8 at 8:00 pm in the Theatre
Upstairs in Sloan.
The play, commencing with some passionate
writhing on a couch, chronicles the strange goingson in the household of Sheldon and Eleanor (David
Shuey and Maureen Tully), a middleaged couple
caught in a boring marriage. Eleanor's lover, Victor
(played by Greg McCracken), Is accidentally caught
on the scene, and subjected to an evening of craziness at the hands of Sheldon and Eleanor, not to
mention Dorothy (Stefani Veres) and Ben, the
servant (Aaron Battle).
Seating is limited—tickets wiU be issued at the
door (free).
This week promises to be a busy week for the arts
on campus. On March 7, the Lock Haven Artist
Series will feature the Camerata Opera Theatre's
twin-bill production of Menotti's " T h e M e d i u m "
and " T h e Nightingale and the Rose" by Margaret
Garwood. Curtain time will be "8:00 P M i in Price

" Censored " Misused
Dear Editor,
This is in response to the
March 2, editorial on the
"controversy raging within
the walls of the PUB"
involving Chris Flynn,
former Chairman of CuHural Affairs. I would like to
point out the incorrect use
ofthe word "censored." To
censor, according to the
American Heritage Dictionary is to examine and
expurgate (that is amend
by means of removal). I am
sure that this isn't what
was meant by the SCC
when it acted on Flynn's
behavior. I believe the word
that should have been used
is "censured" which is to
criticize severly; blame or
to express severe criticism
or disapproval. This term
gives the reader more incite
on the actions taken by the
SCC.
Thank you,

Lepley Replies
To the editor:
On Thursday, March 1.
you were presented with a
statement that presented
the facts about Chris
Flynn's unwarranted
actions as Cultural Affairs
Chairman. On Friday you
published an editorial that
told only a few selected
facts. And then you wrote,
"...but I think we've all
heard enough about Provisional T h e a t r e . " Heard
enough?! Most people
hadn't heard anything until
that sketchy editorial was
printed. The point is,
before an editorial comment is made, the facts
should be presented in a
complete, factual, objective
article.
Attached is a statement
by Mr. Nagy which, in the
opinion of the Executive
Committee and Chris Flynn,
presents a narrative of what
actually happened. Use it.
•Now to address the real
question:
What did Chris do
wrong? He entered the SCC
into a $5000 agreement that
we couldn't afford. We
needed to get out of the
agreement, if possible.
Chris did not co-operate
with us in our attempts to
find out the whole story. As
it turned out, we could have
gotten out ofthe deal at one
point. However, Chris did
not get the necessary information to us until after we
had arranged a compromise
agreement. According to
our attourney, (sic) the
compromise agreement
superseded anything that
transpired before February
9, 1979, when the compromise agreement was signed. We are now legally
bound to the agreement.
If anyone wants further
clarification on this matter,
please feel free to contact
me.
Sincerely,
David L. Lepley
President-SCC

Theatre is on page 3.

Nagy Gives His Version of Flynn Controversy
My first knowledge of
anv engagement with The
Provisionairheatre Avas on
Feb. 2, 1979 when a Mr.
Barry Opper called me from
California because he was
unable, after several calls,
to reach Chris Flynn to
resolve an engagement. He
called Professor Gordon
earlier in the day trying to
resolve the situation (he
remembered Gordon from a
previous engagement here
(4/11/78) and Gordon told
him to call me. Since I knew
nothing about the matter, I
made no commitment to
him and I immediately
made several attempts to
reach Chris Flynn. When
my attempts failed, I asked
both Dave Lepley and Jeff
Bomboy to locate him and
ask him to see me as soon
as possible. They did this,
however, Chris made no
attempt to see me or even
phone me. Therefore, I still
had no concrete information regarding this engagement. However, through
subsequent conversations
with Mr. Opper, I learned
that Chris had mailed him a
Letter of Intent on official
SCC stationery, headed,
"The President/Director"
and Mr. Opper signed in
acceptance on November 7,
1978 (Note the date), and
returned it with a covering
letter dated 11/10/78,
addressed to Chris Flynn,
as Chris requested him to
do. (Letter attached). The
cost of the engagement was
to be $5,000.00.
Mr. Opper further stated
they had arranged other
bookings in conjunction
with the Lock Haven State
engagement in Pittsburgh,
Yellow Springs, Antioch
and St. Louis, claiming this
tour was planned around
our performance, and if
Lock Haven did not accept.
then the tour would have to
be cancelled and'it would
leave them with one
alternative-hire a Pennsylvania attorney and sue. He
also told me he had made
several calls to the SCC
offices and each time Chris
Flynn answered which led
him to believe it was Chris
Flynn's Office. Mr. Opper
Summer Program in Salzburg
By CLARENCE WASHINGTON
There will be a summer
study program and an
exchange program offered
to the students of LHS in
the interest of cross cultural
understanding of students.
The summer study program is to be in Salzburg,
Austria, where students
will live in private Austrian
homes during their stay.
This program is sponsored

or undergraduate credit.
Each student may enroll in
one course. The professors
are all faculty members of
the PCIE Intitutions and all
courses wil be in English.
Another exchange program is offered in Nottingham, England where students and professors from
LHS exchange places with
their equivalents from the
six schools comprising
Trent Polytechnic in England. Students pay their
usual fees at LHS in
addition to their air fare
and can earn 12 to 18 s.h.
credits. Professors typically
exchange houses and automobiles when they get
involved in this program.
This program was estabHshed in 1971, it was the
first of its kind in ' the
United States.
Students from any college or university, trom the
sophomore level up, may
apply. They must have a
quality point average of at
least 2.5; submit letters of
recommendation from a
professor in their major,
their advisor, and an adult
who knows them personally. Each student will have a
personal interview.

WILLIE RAE A N D IRENE -- come out from behind their public masks and reveal their true selves and

ordinary people in America and their struggle to survive, as conceived and realized by the Provisional
Theatre.

By BRIDGET ROBEY
The Provisional Theatre of Los Angeles, one of
this country's most accomplished performing
ensembles, will be appearing locally in its newest
original work " I n c h i n g Through the Everglades" at
Lock Haven State College on March 7 and 8. They
will be performing in Sloan Auditorium at 8:00 P M
Wednesday, and in Price Auditorium at 8:00 P M
Thursday, with the performance sponsored by
LHSC Cultural Affairs. Tickets will be available at
the door, $2.50 for adults, $1.00 for students, and
free to students with a validated I D .
"Inching Through the Everglades" is a warm,
musical, friendly, funny play about a supermarket
checker named Irene and a construction worker
named Willie Rae. These two (who never actually
meet), along with the other characters in the play,
deal with problems and questions in their lives
centered around working and surviving, the quality
of our lives, being a woman in our society, or a
man, Native American rights, poverty (financial
and spiritual), growing older, the American Dream
(the reality vs. what we're taught it is), loneliness
and alienation, and rats and cows and country/
western music. It's a positive play about the
humanness of people despite their being caught in
a very " u n - h u m a n " society.
" I n c h i n g Through the Everglades," the Provisional Theatre's sixth original creation, makes
use of a simpleyet imaginative set, wonderful and
evocative masks, and lots of original music. The
play was conceived, written, directed and realized
by the Provisional Theatre's ensemble of nine
people. It has been performed throughout the
country to large, appreciative audiences and has
received such critical acclaim as: " . . . one of the
best performing groups in the country . . . the
lightest-handed piece the Provisional has ever
done, and the most affecting" (Sullivan, LA
Times), " a rare evening of t h e a t r e " (Swisher, After
Dark), and " r a u c o u s , humorous, musical,
poignant, Innovative, celebratory and g r i p p i n g "
(Weiner, Philadelphia Inquirer).
The Provisional Theatre is a .touring theatre
troupe from Los Angeles, most of whose members
have worked together for over ten years. Its original
works reflect the group's belief in discipline and a
sense of humor as tools to be used In sharing In the
(re)dlscovery of an authentic American People's

made the calls after 4:00'
P.M. E.S.T During one
conversation Chris told him
there was a problem in that
new Student Govemment
officers had been elected
and that he was no longer
the chairman of the
Committee. Mr. Opper
then related that on
January 4,1979 (school was
not in session at this time)
Chris Flynn called him to
relate "The serious matter
which developed is all
straightened out and there
is nothing to worry about."
I again asked both Dave
and Jeff to help me contact
Chris and advised them of
the troublesome developments. They again relayed
the message to Chris, but
he did not appear at my
office, nor did he contact
me by telephone.
The ensuing development took place on
Thursday, Feb. 8, 1979:
A meeting was held in
Mr. Marshall's Office with
Rhoades, McCloskey, Lepley, Bomboy, myself and
several other interested
people. Chris Flynn was
invited to this meeting but
did not attend. After
dicsussion, it was agreed
that we meet the contract
which I renegotiated at
$4,000.00. The obligation
was as follows:
Commonwealth $1,000.00
SCC Cultural Affairs
Budget
1,000.00
Contigency
2,000.00
$4,000.00
The revised contract was
firmed on 2 / 9 / 7 9 by
certified letter.
Later • this same day,
Chris finally appeared at
my office. He presented me
with a brown envelope
which contained a letter
dated 12/5/78 and a
contract dated 12/4/78 in
the amount of $5,000.00
After Chris left, Jeff
Bomboy came to my office
and together we examined,
the contents of the envelope. Jeff noticed that in the
first paragraph of the letter
dated 12/5/78 Provisional
requested Chris to have me
sign the papers and return
them. If we had known this
at an earlier date, we could
have withdrawn.
At his point in time,
however, we have no alternative but to honor the later
agreement I made following the meeting in Mr.
Marshall's office. To firm
this, I today called our
attorney and discussed this
and he advised that the
Committee accept the
revised contract, which
supersedes any prior agreement, and since I am the
authoritative agent for
SCC, it would be binding on
us. Provisionalwould have
firm grounds to sue and win
if we did otherwise.
The Committee should
accept the remedy as finally
resolved by the President,
Vice President and Director
as the best solution in
preservation of our credibility and reliance.
Respectfully submitted.

E's Crushers Win IM Championship Over Mad Bombers 49-42
By PETE BIELSKI
E's Crushers won the
men's I.M. championship
last night by edging The
Mad Bombers 49-42 in
front of a good crowd at
Thomas Field House. Led
by Richard 'Eel' Francis' 13
second half points, the
Crushers overcame a 37-33
deficit by running off 16 of
the final 19 points tallied.
The difference was at the
foul line, where the
Crushers went 13 of 19
while the Bombers hit only
four of 12.
"Dr. Moon" Simms and
Bernard Anderson kept
Bombers on top throughout
the first half, as the duo
carrolled many loose balls
off the offensive boards and
turned them into points.
The Bombers maintained
the lead over the majority
of the final half, as Mark
Cuppola and Ligons hit for
ten second half points. Best
ten second half points. But
with six minutes remaining
Larry Jones and Francis
started to dominate, as the
Crushers started controlling the boards they were
having trouble with in the
opening half. Leonard
James then lofted a pretty
one-hander from the deep
corner to put the champions
up by four, and the Bombers were not heard from
again. Larry Jones tossed
in twelve for the winners.

Thirty-two Teams Compete in Soccer Game
By BOBI HEGARTY
Saturday, for eight
hours, Thomas Field House
and Zimmerii gyms were
crowded with true-blue
soccer fans watching the
fourth annual Lock Haven
United Indoor Soccer Tournament. Thirty-two teams
competed using their five
best players from the past
season. In the finals
Cleveland State, from Ohio,
ranked 10th in the nation,
beat New Jersey Institute
of Technology by a 1-0
score.
The open invitation tournament pitted the Lock
Haven freshmen against
such rivals as Bucknell,
West Chester Soccer Club
and Carnegie Mellon University in their divisional
play. Coming out at the top
of their division by rousting
the others 4-0, 4-0, 4-1,
respectively, the freshmen
team, consisting of Tim
Gargan, Trevor Adair, John
Crowley, Rob Galbraith,
John Appezzeto, Grap Edwards and goalie Mike
Bobby, played 2nd ranked.
Division B Edinboro. Again
showing the impressive
skill that earned them the
NCAA title, LHS frosh
wiped Edinboro out of the
tourn;iment, 5-0. In the
tough quarter final game,
the freshmen dropped to
NJn 2-1, on an indirect
kick by Jersey's Kenneth
Hammond. NJIT went on to
pick up second place.
The Lock Haven upperclassmen team, Phil Fowler, Jack Predix, Billy
Hibbs, Bert Gottbrecht,
Scott Cardin, Jan Felker,
and goalie Al Hodgkenson,
up against Pider, Franklin
and Marshall and Lancaster
Soccer Club, beat its
opponent by 2-1, 5-0, 4-0,
respectively. In the preliminaries LHS beat Shippensburg, 3-0 to advance to the
quarter finals. There the
upperclassmen were trounced by Cleveland 3-0.
Semifinal action brought
two tough matches. NJIT
beat Syracuse 2-1, to
advance to the finals.
Cleveland and Rider went
to sudden death, then to
penalty kicks before Cleveland won, 6-5.
Syracuse beat Rider for
third place, 1-0. Syracuse
played with former LHS
freshman. Dan Taber. In
the finals, Cleveland found
a tough opponent in NJIT,
but finally beat them, 1-0.
Last year, Edinboro
claimed the title in the
tournament and LHS held
first place the first two
years of the tournament.

River and Anxiety Rises-Precautionary Measures Taken for Flood
By JULIE BRENNAN and
SUSAN SHELLY — Flood
Editors
Activities continued as
normal on campus last
night, but downtown, precautionary measures were
taken by people living
along the river, as the
water level neared 20 feet
at 8 PM.
Books and other items
were removed from the Immaculate Conception school
on Water Street early yesterday afternoon and students were sent home
early.
Volunteers were prepared to start pumping the
basement of the YMCA,
which according to one
spokesman, was already
flooded at this water level
'in other similar incidences.
When asked why the
basement was not flooded,
he answered, "that's what
we're trying to figure out."
Dr. Francis Hamblin,
college president, who lives
on Water Street, said he
was not terribly concerned
about his home being
flooded. He said the water
level would have to rise
about five more feet before
his home would be in
danger of being flooded.
He also reported that he
anticipates no cancellation
of school because of flood-
ing.
Area roads were reported
to be flooded in low-lying
areas and some were
closed. Some planes at
Piper Aircraft were flown to
State College and others
were moved to higher
ground on Piper property.
Students moved cars
from parking area 9 yesterday in anticipation of high
waters.
Members of Tri Sigma
sorority were seen on
Water Street offering as-
sistance to reside*ts. Members of other Greek
sororities were also reported to be helping people
move belongings from
homes in danger of being
flooded.
It was predicted that the
river would crest at about
21 feet at approximately
2:00 this morning.
The high waters were
welcomed by some things.
A flock of sea gulls was
sighted last hight near the
Jay Street Bridge.

Black Arts Festival Concludes Successful Week with Gospel Choir
By CLARENCE WASHINGTON
The LHS Black Arts Festival came to an end as it
boasted an entertaining
weekend of activity. The
weekend included a heavy
card of business for all
three consecutive evenings.
On Friday night a variety
show featuring students of
the LHS Black Culture
Society displayed a number
of talented young perfor-
mers. They sang, danced,
acted and played the piano
much to the delight of the
crowd. Richard "the eel"
Francis, the master of
ceremonies kept the show
flowing smooth as the performers unleashed their
talents. Darsell Brittingham and Rachine Mazyck
dominated most of the solo
singing performances and
Katherine Fox, Maryse
Piere Jean and Carla Willis
"buddy" Brodie. The skit
was a comical look at a
Gospel choir searching for a
talented singer to lead their
choir in song. Brodie and
Montgomery were featured
along with other members
of the BCS.
Saturday night included
a banquet headlining guest
speaker Mrs. Thelma Johnson of the Pennsylvania
Human Relations Commission, a fashion show by
[Photos by GLENN CHESTER]
handled the piano playing
duties. Pierre Jean and
Willis showed another
dimension of their talents
as they played songs that
they composed themselves.
Other bright spots in the
show included: dance routines, a piano improvosation and probably the most
humerus event of the show,
a skit produced by Fred
Montgomery and Otis
members ofthe BCS, and a
semi-formal dance featuring "The Bliss Band" from
Indiana, Pennsylvania.
Sunday, the final night of
the festival belonged to the
United Ministry of Christ
Gospel Choir from the
University of Penn State.
They performed a number
of spirit moving gospel
melodies. The BCS gospel
choir also produced a
couple of gospel songs and
featured a solo performance by Kevin " J o e
Wash" Washington who
sang the theme from the
movie the "Greatest" entitled "The Grea'.est Love
of. All"
Maritza Tason, Human
Relations Coordinator said
that the Festival was a
success, and that she was
very pleased with the
quality of the performances.

Commentary
By CHRISTOPHER FLYNN
Appearing in this issue of the Eagle Eye will be
quite a number of things as regards my past actions
as Chairperson of Cultural Affairs. Up to this point,
I've maintained a rather low profile about the whole
incident.
The SCC Senate has banned me from any further
involvement with that organization, and that's just
fine w i t h me, seeing how they've blown my
credibility to hell.
Certain members of the SCC have made some
pretty inflammatory remarks about my actions and
my character. I've been accused of having made a
deal with The Provisional Theatre of Los Angeles,
which would have given my a job after graduation.
Nothing could be farther from the t r u t h .
In a lot of people's eyes, I'm seen as a usurper of
power which wasn't mine. Whether that's true or
not matters little, i just happen to be the perfect
scapegoat.
If my dismissal had been handled in a more
appropriate manner, things might have been
different. It was rather rude, and no one went to the
trouble at the time to find out what the committee
was doing. But there's no point in crying over spilt
milk.
As regards my paying the SCC $500 for my supposed transgressions; like I said at the Finance
Committee meeting; The SCC does not have a legal
foot to stand on, however you could try a public
flogging, but heck that's illegal too. Don't feel so
bad folks, you win some, you lose some. I neither
won nor lost, but I have made a lot of news.
However its time to move one, because if we all sit
around and stew over this, we'll only give ourselves ulcers
Counselors Protested
Dear Editor,
•We, the members of a
North Hall floor, would like
the whole • campus of
L.H.S.C. to know of our
dilemma. In the past two
weeks, a certain counselor
on the floor has begun to
intimidate the majority of
the white population, while
cutting members of his won
race breaks. We feel that
this is discrimination. We
are the only floor on
Campus that have (sic) two
colored counselors. We
know that most of the floors
have two white counselors,
but then most if not all of
the floors are white. Why
do we have two colored
counselors? When the
colored residents of the
floor break a rule the
counselors head is always
turned. A white person
guilty of an offense is
prosecuted by the counselor and the hall manager
and dormitory probation
usually results. Why does
this happen. Is the counselor prejudice or does he feel
he may lose his job, if he
doesn't get some quick
busts to help save it. Do
counselors have quotas to
reach? Somehow the people
being prosecuted seem to
be white.
We want to know can and
if so will anything be done
to correct this situation? If
yes, we hope it happens
soon.

Committee Criticized
To the Editor,
I really sympathize with
the ill-informed SCC Concert Committee, they obviously know very little about
what is happening in contemporary music. This is
exhibited by their recent
Livingston Taylor concert.
How many people did they
think he could possibly
draw?
For the last three years, I
had been in the mainstream
of the entertainment in
New York and North
Jersey, so, I feel I have the
authority to speak out on
this subject. In order to
promote an act properly,
the act must, first, be able
to draw people. In order to
draw people the act must
have two things; a substantial amount of national hype
and local airplay on the
radio stations. Livingston
Taylor, a "class C" act, has
neither. His only claim to
fame is that he is the
brother of James Taylor, a
fine artist in his own right.
Sarcasticly speaking, why
not get Mick Jagger's
younger brother and see
how may people he would
draw? After all, he has two
albums to his credit, that
did nothing.
The point is that the SCC
Concert Committee could
be doing a better job than
they {ire, but their knowledge of the complex
entertainment field is
rather limited. Look, we
have an adequate facility in
Thomas Field House, which
could concievably hold
3,000 people for a show,
why not put it to use? We
could be getting the same
caliber of acts that the
Tower in Philadelphia or
the Capitol in New Jersey
get and not overpaying
them, which has been
habitual at Lock Haven.
Due to the incapabilities
of past SCC Social Committee chairpersons we have
missed out on some fine
acts, such as Foreigner,
Boston, Meatloaf, Peter
Frampton, to name a few
when they were just
breaking nationaly. It is
my suggestion that the SCC
Concert Committee work
with a promoter that wants
to help the college and not
line his own pockets. I
would also like some
feedback on this from the
SCC Concert Committee,
because I am concerned
very much about this
matter. You can get in
touch with me at Sigma Pi.
Thank you.

An elderly woman, who fancies herself Dorothy
of Oz, wanders about looking for the lost Toto—an
ancient butler rambles about in a deaf daze—a
husband offers to pay his wife's lover for "services
rendered"—these are some of the bizarre characters and situations one will f i n d in the College
Players studio production of " S y m b i o s i s , " to be
presented March 6, 7, 8 at 8:00 pm in the Theatre
Upstairs in Sloan.
The play, commencing with some passionate
writhing on a couch, chronicles the strange goingson in the household of Sheldon and Eleanor (David
Shuey and Maureen Tully), a middleaged couple
caught in a boring marriage. Eleanor's lover, Victor
(played by Greg McCracken), Is accidentally caught
on the scene, and subjected to an evening of craziness at the hands of Sheldon and Eleanor, not to
mention Dorothy (Stefani Veres) and Ben, the
servant (Aaron Battle).
Seating is limited—tickets wiU be issued at the
door (free).
This week promises to be a busy week for the arts
on campus. On March 7, the Lock Haven Artist
Series will feature the Camerata Opera Theatre's

" Censored " Misused
Dear Editor,
This is in response to the
March 2, editorial on the
"controversy raging within
the walls of the PUB"
involving Chris Flynn,
former Chairman of CuHural Affairs. I would like to
point out the incorrect use
ofthe word "censored." To
censor, according to the
American Heritage Dictionary is to examine and
expurgate (that is amend
by means of removal). I am
sure that this isn't what
was meant by the SCC
when it acted on Flynn's
behavior. I believe the word
that should have been used
is "censured" which is to
criticize severly; blame or
to express severe criticism
or disapproval. This term
gives the reader more incite
on the actions taken by the
SCC.
Thank you,

Lepley Replies
To the editor:
On Thursday, March 1.
you were presented with a
statement that presented
the facts about Chris
Flynn's unwarranted
actions as Cultural Affairs
Chairman. On Friday you
published an editorial that
told only a few selected
facts. And then you wrote,
"...but I think we've all
heard enough about Provisional T h e a t r e . " Heard
enough?! Most people
hadn't heard anything until
that sketchy editorial was
printed. The point is,
before an editorial comment is made, the facts
should be presented in a
complete, factual, objective
article.
Attached is a statement
by Mr. Nagy which, in the
opinion of the Executive
Committee and Chris Flynn,
presents a narrative of what
actually happened. Use it.
•Now to address the real
question:
What did Chris do
wrong? He entered the SCC
into a $5000 agreement that
we couldn't afford. We
needed to get out of the
agreement, if possible.
Chris did not co-operate
with us in our attempts to
find out the whole story. As
it turned out, we could have
gotten out ofthe deal at one
point. However, Chris did
not get the necessary information to us until after we
had arranged a compromise
agreement. According to
our attourney, (sic) the
compromise agreement
superseded anything that
transpired before February
9, 1979, when the compromise agreement was signed. We are now legally
bound to the agreement.
If anyone wants further
clarification on this matter,
please feel free to contact
me.
Sincerely,

Nagy Gives His Version of Flynn Controversy
My first knowledge of
anv engagement with The
Provisionairheatre Avas on
Feb. 2, 1979 when a Mr.
Barry Opper called me from
California because he was
unable, after several calls,
to reach Chris Flynn to
resolve an engagement. He
called Professor Gordon
earlier in the day trying to
resolve the situation (he
remembered Gordon from a
previous engagement here
(4/11/78) and Gordon told
him to call me. Since I knew
nothing about the matter, I
made no commitment to
him and I immediately
made several attempts to
reach Chris Flynn. When
my attempts failed, I asked
both Dave Lepley and Jeff
Bomboy to locate him and
ask him to see me as soon
as possible. They did this,
however, Chris made no
attempt to see me or even
phone me. Therefore, I still
had no concrete information regarding this engagement. However, through
subsequent conversations
with Mr. Opper, I learned
that Chris had mailed him a
Letter of Intent on official
SCC stationery, headed,
"The President/Director"
and Mr. Opper signed in
acceptance on November 7,
1978 (Note the date), and
returned it with a covering
letter dated 11/10/78,
addressed to Chris Flynn,
as Chris requested him to
do. (Letter attached). The
cost of the engagement was
to be $5,000.00.
Mr. Opper further stated
they had arranged other
bookings in conjunction
with the Lock Haven State
engagement in Pittsburgh,
Yellow Springs, Antioch
and St. Louis, claiming this
tour was planned around
our performance, and if
Lock Haven did not accept.
then the tour would have to
be cancelled and'it would
leave them with one
alternative-hire a Pennsylvania attorney and sue. He
also told me he had made
several calls to the SCC
offices and each time Chris
Flynn answered which led
him to believe it was Chris
Flynn's Office. Mr. Opper
Summer Program in Salzburg
By CLARENCE WASHINGTON
There will be a summer
study program and an
exchange program offered
to the students of LHS in
the interest of cross cultural
understanding of students.
The summer study program is to be in Salzburg,
Austria, where students
will live in private Austrian
homes during their stay.
This program is sponsored
by Pennsylvania Consortium for International Education (P.C.I.E.). The program lasts from four to six
weeks and will grant 3
semester hours of graduate
or undergraduate credit.
Each student may enroll in
one course. The professors
are all faculty members of
the PCIE Intitutions and all
courses wil be in English.
Another exchange program is offered in Nottingham, England where students and professors from
LHS exchange places with
their equivalents from the
six schools comprising
Trent Polytechnic in England. Students pay their
usual fees at LHS in
addition to their air fare
and can earn 12 to 18 s.h.
credits. Professors typically
exchange houses and automobiles when they get
involved in this program.
This program was estabHshed in 1971, it was the
first of its kind in ' the
United States.
Students from any college or university, trom the
sophomore level up, may
apply. They must have a
quality point average of at
least 2.5; submit letters of
recommendation from a
professor in their major,
their advisor, and an adult
who knows them personally. Each student will have a
personal interview.
Applications for both
programs are due by April
1 and can be obtained from
Dr. Marcus Konick. For

WILLIE RAE A N D IRENE -- come out from behind their public masks and reveal their true selves and

ordinary people in America and their struggle to survive, as conceived and realized by the Provisional
Theatre.

By BRIDGET ROBEY
The Provisional Theatre of Los Angeles, one of
this country's most accomplished performing
ensembles, will be appearing locally in its newest
original work " I n c h i n g Through the Everglades" at
Lock Haven State College on March 7 and 8. They
will be performing in Sloan Auditorium at 8:00 P M
Wednesday, and in Price Auditorium at 8:00 P M
Thursday, with the performance sponsored by
LHSC Cultural Affairs. Tickets will be available at
the door, $2.50 for adults, $1.00 for students, and
free to students with a validated I D .
"Inching Through the Everglades" is a warm,
musical, friendly, funny play about a supermarket
checker named Irene and a construction worker
named Willie Rae. These two (who never actually
meet), along with the other characters in the play,
deal with problems and questions in their lives
centered around working and surviving, the quality
of our lives, being a woman in our society, or a
man, Native American rights, poverty (financial
and spiritual), growing older, the American Dream
(the reality vs. what we're taught it is), loneliness
and alienation, and rats and cows and country/
western music. It's a positive play about the
humanness of people despite their being caught in
a very " u n - h u m a n " society.
" I n c h i n g Through the Everglades," the Provisional Theatre's sixth original creation, makes
use of a simpleyet imaginative set, wonderful and
evocative masks, and lots of original music. The
play was conceived, written, directed and realized
by the Provisional Theatre's ensemble of nine
people. It has been performed throughout the
country to large, appreciative audiences and has
received such critical acclaim as: " . . . one of the
best performing groups in the country . . . the
lightest-handed piece the Provisional has ever
done, and the most affecting" (Sullivan, LA
Times), " a rare evening of t h e a t r e " (Swisher, After
Dark), and " r a u c o u s , humorous, musical,

made the calls after 4:00'
P.M. E.S.T During one
conversation Chris told him
there was a problem in that
new Student Govemment
officers had been elected
and that he was no longer
the chairman of the
Committee. Mr. Opper
then related that on
January 4,1979 (school was
not in session at this time)
Chris Flynn called him to
relate "The serious matter
which developed is all
straightened out and there
is nothing to worry about."
I again asked both Dave
and Jeff to help me contact
Chris and advised them of
the troublesome developments. They again relayed
the message to Chris, but
he did not appear at my
office, nor did he contact
me by telephone.
The ensuing development took place on
Thursday, Feb. 8, 1979:
A meeting was held in
Mr. Marshall's Office with
Rhoades, McCloskey, Lepley, Bomboy, myself and
several other interested
people. Chris Flynn was
invited to this meeting but
did not attend. After
dicsussion, it was agreed
that we meet the contract
which I renegotiated at
$4,000.00. The obligation
was as follows:
Commonwealth $1,000.00
SCC Cultural Affairs
Budget
1,000.00
Contigency
2,000.00
$4,000.00
The revised contract was
firmed on 2 / 9 / 7 9 by
certified letter.
Later • this same day,
Chris finally appeared at
my office. He presented me
with a brown envelope
which contained a letter
dated 12/5/78 and a
contract dated 12/4/78 in
the amount of $5,000.00
After Chris left, Jeff
Bomboy came to my office
and together we examined,
the contents of the envelope. Jeff noticed that in the
first paragraph of the letter
dated 12/5/78 Provisional
requested Chris to have me
sign the papers and return
them. If we had known this
at an earlier date, we could
have withdrawn.
At his point in time,
however, we have no alternative but to honor the later
agreement I made following the meeting in Mr.
Marshall's office. To firm
this, I today called our
attorney and discussed this
and he advised that the
Committee accept the
revised contract, which
supersedes any prior agreement, and since I am the
authoritative agent for
SCC, it would be binding on
us. Provisionalwould have
firm grounds to sue and win
if we did otherwise.
The Committee should
accept the remedy as finally
resolved by the President,
Vice President and Director
as the best solution in
preservation of our credibility and reliance.
Respectfully submitted.

E's Crushers Win IM Championship Over Mad Bombers 49-42
By PETE BIELSKI
E's Crushers won the
men's I.M. championship
last night by edging The
Mad Bombers 49-42 in
front of a good crowd at
Thomas Field House. Led
by Richard 'Eel' Francis' 13
second half points, the
Crushers overcame a 37-33
deficit by running off 16 of
the final 19 points tallied.
The difference was at the
foul line, where the
Crushers went 13 of 19
while the Bombers hit only
four of 12.
"Dr. Moon" Simms and
Bernard Anderson kept
Bombers on top throughout
the first half, as the duo
carrolled many loose balls
off the offensive boards and
turned them into points.
The Bombers maintained
the lead over the majority
of the final half, as Mark
Cuppola and Ligons hit for
ten second half points. Best
ten second half points. But
with six minutes remaining
Larry Jones and Francis
started to dominate, as the
Crushers started controlling the boards they were
having trouble with in the
opening half. Leonard
James then lofted a pretty
one-hander from the deep
corner to put the champions
up by four, and the Bombers were not heard from
again. Larry Jones tossed
in twelve for the winners.

these teams before, and
will also be looking forward
to playing in the post

Taylor commented.
