In a meeting last Tuesday

Presently, Dr. Thomas' case
is being reviewed by the state

Their decision might be a

New Signs to Aid
Incoming Students
By SHA WN BINGMAN
As you walk around campus, you are sure to see the
bold brown and white signs
positioned in front of every
building. Adds a touch of
class, wouldn't you say? Not
to mention it is a great help
to those incoming students
who will be making their
debut at LHSC soon.
This step in a positive
direction is all due to the
time, effort and concern of
. Mr. Robert Lynch - Direclor
of Special Program Development, Mr. Joseph A. Coldren
- Director of Admissions, and
Mr. James Meckley - Assistant
Maintenance
Superintendant.
According
to
Mr.
Coldren,the main reason for
putting up the signs was to
help new students and other
use of her office and other
campus facilities. Dr. John
Irwin,
professor
of
Philosophy, asked "How can
the status of a person be terminated when they are stiU
going through due process?
There are issues here that we
think should be brought to
the attention of the whole
college."
Klens said he has written
Hamblin about restoring
Thomas' privileges, but he
has not received an answer in
two weeks. Storch said he
and Hamblin will discuss the
restoration of her privileges
when Hamblin returns from a
business trip on Monday.

action towards arbitration.

good (as Getz)- he has a way
of getting things done."
He added, "The whole executive board has helped us,
especially Bob Bullett (the
current vice-president).
Howard Reynolds (PUB
director) has been helping a
lot, t o o . "
Burge said that his other
executive board members
have also spent time learning
about their new positions.
However, he hasn't been
able to get together with
Rosidivito,
the
vicepresident-elect who ran on a
different slate. Burge said he
intends to reach Rosidivito
this weekend.
When asked what he has
learned about being president, Burge said, "There's a
lot more to it than 1 realized.
It's a very comprehensive
position; you have to know
what goes on, and a lot goes
on."
He said the biggest future
problem will be infiation.
The budget will need about
$27,000 more next year to
keep operating at its current
level.
Burge said this isn't a problem at the present, because
there is enough money in the
budget now to handle the increase next year.
He also said he anticipates
problems with the senate.
"I'm worried about if they're
going to work with me,
they've got to realize we're
working for the same thing."
When asked how he felt
about the criticism he has
been receiving, Burge said it
bothers him that people who
don't know him are criticizing him. "1 don't mind people criticizing me~but I'd
prefer that they'd find out
about me first."

T/iK article is the first of a
series on homosexuality. It is
based on an interview with
one of the acknowledged
homosexuals here at LHSC.
To guarantee anonymity, he
will be referred to as John.
"Fear, hatred, repulsion"
-these are emotions encountered by homosexuals.
Homosexuality is a topic
much talked about at LHSC,
yet little is known about it
-especially a b o u t male
homosexuality.
There are male homosexuals here at LHSC. However,
tew students know who these
people are
John has received a lot of
abuse about his homosexuality. He has gotten phone calls,
been called names, and was
"set up for a beating." But
much more is involved with
being a homosexual here.
The biggest problem he encounters is the fact that
"people don't see you as a
person but as a gay." A gay
individual faces being seen
only as a homosexual rather
than as a person with special
interests, likes, dislikes, and
feelings. "Telling people
you're gay is the fastest way
to ruin a freindship."
As a gay at LHSC John has
met much resistance. He
says, "There's no reason in

LHSC's police force is fading into a dwindling
unit.
This past Novembef, Law Enforcement
lost a CETA
officer and is expected to lose two more before the end
of the summer. This means the already
understqffed
security system will barely be able to accommodate
the
students. It's not that they don't want to-it'sjust
that
they aren't able to.T/te administration
doesn't
think
it's necessary to shell out the extra money to keep the
students sttfe, or at least to accommodate
them.
The Eagle Eye realizes the tight budget that the administration is saddled with, however, we believe that
it is essential to hire more officers. The student is entitled to a feeling of safety. After ail, if the student
weren't here none of the administrationJaculty,
or
any other sort of college life would be.
Also, there are more people crowded into the dorms;
than is usual. It seems to make sense that if there are
more people on campus, we should have more security
officers to protect them. Where there are more people,
there is a greater likelihood of problems.
The campus police do much more than Just deal
with problems.
They control crowds at concerts and
tailgating parties, they let people into dorms, and they
assist people when they're hurt. Already Lock
Haven's
law enforcement is understaffed
and has trouble providing these services. It cannot handle the camptis
without more officers. If a really bad situation arose, a
fire in a dorm, for example, there may not be enough
trained security people
available.
It is a considerable risk waiting until tragedy occurs
lo realize that the security staff needs more people.
The administration
recognizes this risk and refuses to
do anything about it. The Eagle Eye stuff was greatly
alarmed last October when George Marshall, the VicePresident of the schooi, said that even if there was a
murder or a rape on campus no more security
officers
would be hired.
We feel this is an irresponsible view for the administration to take. If they insist on packing
students
into dorms, they should provide adequate
protection
for these people. Otherwise, cut tiie student
enrollment
to fit the size of the security force-the
smallest in the

Gross Inconvenience

are speaking of is the calamity of a triple.
The gross inconvenience of
three students, thrust into a
dorm room designed for two
is a fate I would not even
wish the administrators of
this coUege. Overcrowding,
total lack of privacy, and an
extremely tense atmosphere
are daily experiences of "TriMates."
One would think that the
complete failure of Student
Life's experiment with trimates would have taught
them a lesson. However with
the influx of new transfer
students being pumped into
our already overflowing student body, tragedy may occur
again. What is even more
alarming is that some of the
very same students who have
been forced to Uve, grow, and
leam in these unhealthy conditions may be forced to do
the same thing this spring.
Unfortunately it is a bit
late for the Administration to
turn away the influx of new
students, however it would be
a kind gesture to reassure
these battle worn "tri-mates"
that their heU is over. Even a
refund cannot lessen the inconveniences experienced
during the first semester.
Money cannot solve all problems.

Buses for Breaks?
By BETSY LINK
The SCC should run inexpensive
buses
to
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
for students who want to go
home for the hoUdays.
Many students don't have
a way of getting home, and
their parents have to drive as
long as eight hours to come
and pick up their sons and
daughters. If there were two
buses - one to Philadelphia,
and the other to Pittsburgh,
there would be a lot less driving for parents, and students
would StiU be able to make it
home for the hoUdays.
If such a service were
available, we would definitely
take advantage of it. It has
many benefits to it and it
wouldn't be very hard to get
organized into being started.
1 urge you to contact the
SCC and see if such a service
can be started.

Sex, Violence, Love =
By JEFF FLEISHMAN
Editor-in-Chief
FaU in love in the afternoon? Sounds good. WeU it
happens to many LHSC
students who huddle in the
coziness of their rooms and
dormitory lobbies to get
swept away in marital problems, sex, violence and love,
without having to move from
their seats. These after lunch
affairs are known as soap
operas (or soaps to the avid
viewer). These programs have
foUowings as faithful as those
of Billy Grahm and probably
more numerous.
Soap operas have swept the
country and in their tide they
have pulled in the younger
generation (male and
female). The days of the
stranded housewife turning
to the T.V. for some afternoon companionship have
emerged into a population of
addicted fanatics,
around a town, a family and
their trials and tribulations in
the community. They run on
a daily basis. This enables
them to keep up with the
seasons and times of the year.
For example when the viewer
is celebrating Christmas so to

Life to Live."
In recent years the soaps
have changed with the times.
We see more sex and violence
creeping into the "Days of
Our Lives." The country is
experiencing a "Young and

"Ryans Hope" offers the
solution for many. However
others visit the "General

There will be an isolation

Another room is designed
for interpersonal skills which
is unique. Carpeting covers
the entire fioor of the room,
and along the wall, the fioor

easier than having to arrange
chairs in a circle for group
discussions.
This program has been
compared to that at Harvard
and the facilities built at
LHSC were built at one-sixth
the cost.
The internship program is
a revitalization stage which
will have more diversity and
strength. There are four
tracks which the major can
choose from: cUnical, educational, general experience,
and personal development.
The internship has placed
students in several agencies in
Pennsylvania. Several have
continued with these agencies
after graduating.
Many psychology majors
have gone onto graduate
schools. Mark Spear went on
to Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Scott Petralak
went onto Ratford University
in Virginia.
One graduate is now the

Homosexuality^
It's somewhat similar to a girl
thinking that every guy is going to make a pass at her.
Gays are very cautious about
who they approach.
Anotlier misconception
that John feels should be
cleared up is that male
homosexuals are mostly interested in a physical relationship. The emotional aspect is
completely overlooked. He
does make a distinction that
"homosexual experiences do
not necessarily mean you're a
homosexual." He feels that
there are different kinds and
stages of homosexuality, and
it's not something that is just
discovered.
John says, "You don't
choose to be gay. It developes
(Cont. from page 1)
as you grow up."
When John came to Lock
Haven he had thoughts of
starting a gay group - a tyi>e
of consciousness raising
group. He has since abandoned those plans because it
would entail his coming out
of the closet. He felt that if he
came out of the closet, he
would be unable to do
anything as a student because
he would always be branded
as a homosexual.
He sees homosexuals as a
"minority that is present in
every area of Ufe" - race, age,
social status. However, here
in
Lock
Haven,
he
categorizes the situation as
being, "me-ness versus theyness."

New Signs to Aid
Incoming Students
By SHA WN BINGMAN
As you walk around campus, you are sure to see the
bold brown and white signs
positioned in front of every
building. Adds a touch of
class, wouldn't you say? Not
to mention it is a great help
to those incoming students
who will be making their
debut at LHSC soon.
This step in a positive
direction is all due to the
time, effort and concern of
. Mr. Robert Lynch - Direclor
of Special Program Development, Mr. Joseph A. Coldren
- Director of Admissions, and
Mr. James Meckley - Assistant
Maintenance
Superintendant.
According
to
Mr.
Coldren,the main reason for
putting up the signs was to
help new students and other
use of her office and other
campus facilities. Dr. John
Irwin,
professor
of
Philosophy, asked "How can
the status of a person be terminated when they are stiU
going through due process?
There are issues here that we
think should be brought to
the attention of the whole
college."
Klens said he has written
Hamblin about restoring
Thomas' privileges, but he
has not received an answer in
two weeks. Storch said he
and Hamblin will discuss the
restoration of her privileges
when Hamblin returns from a

of getting things done."
He added, "The whole executive board has helped us,
especially Bob Bullett (the
current vice-president).
Howard Reynolds (PUB
director) has been helping a
lot, t o o . "
Burge said that his other
executive board members
have also spent time learning
about their new positions.
However, he hasn't been
able to get together with
Rosidivito,
the
vicepresident-elect who ran on a
different slate. Burge said he
intends to reach Rosidivito
this weekend.
When asked what he has
learned about being president, Burge said, "There's a
lot more to it than 1 realized.
It's a very comprehensive
position; you have to know
what goes on, and a lot goes
on."
He said the biggest future
problem will be infiation.
The budget will need about
$27,000 more next year to
keep operating at its current
level.
Burge said this isn't a problem at the present, because
there is enough money in the
budget now to handle the increase next year.
He also said he anticipates
problems with the senate.
"I'm worried about if they're
going to work with me,
they've got to realize we're
working for the same thing."
When asked how he felt
about the criticism he has
been receiving, Burge said it
bothers him that people who
don't know him are criticizing him. "1 don't mind people criticizing me~but I'd
prefer that they'd find out
about me first."

one of the acknowledged
homosexuals here at LHSC.
To guarantee anonymity, he

"Fear, hatred, repulsion"
-these are emotions encountered by homosexuals.
Homosexuality is a topic
much talked about at LHSC,
yet little is known about it

homosexuality.
There are male homosexuals here at LHSC. However,
tew students know who these
people are
John has received a lot of
abuse about his homosexuality. He has gotten phone calls,
been called names, and was
"set up for a beating." But
much more is involved with
being a homosexual here.
The biggest problem he encounters is the fact that
"people don't see you as a
person but as a gay." A gay
individual faces being seen
only as a homosexual rather
than as a person with special
interests, likes, dislikes, and
feelings. "Telling people
you're gay is the fastest way
to ruin a freindship."
As a gay at LHSC John has
met much resistance. He

LHSC's police force is fading into a dwindling
unit.
This past Novembef, Law Enforcement
lost a CETA
officer and is expected to lose two more before the end
of the summer. This means the already
understqffed
security system will barely be able to accommodate
the
students. It's not that they don't want to-it'sjust
that
they aren't able to.T/te administration
doesn't
think
it's necessary to shell out the extra money to keep the
students sttfe, or at least to accommodate
them.
The Eagle Eye realizes the tight budget that the administration is saddled with, however, we believe that
it is essential to hire more officers. The student is entitled to a feeling of safety. After ail, if the student
weren't here none of the administrationJaculty,
or
any other sort of college life would be.
Also, there are more people crowded into the dorms;
than is usual. It seems to make sense that if there are
more people on campus, we should have more security
officers to protect them. Where there are more people,
there is a greater likelihood of problems.
The campus police do much more than Just deal
with problems.
They control crowds at concerts and
tailgating parties, they let people into dorms, and they
assist people when they're hurt. Already Lock
Haven's
law enforcement is understaffed
and has trouble providing these services. It cannot handle the camptis
without more officers. If a really bad situation arose, a
fire in a dorm, for example, there may not be enough
trained security people
available.
It is a considerable risk waiting until tragedy occurs
lo realize that the security staff needs more people.
The administration
recognizes this risk and refuses to
do anything about it. The Eagle Eye stuff was greatly
alarmed last October when George Marshall, the VicePresident of the schooi, said that even if there was a
murder or a rape on campus no more security
officers
would be hired.
We feel this is an irresponsible view for the administration to take. If they insist on packing
students
into dorms, they should provide adequate
protection
for these people. Otherwise, cut tiie student
enrollment
to fit the size of the security force-the
smallest in the
PA. state coiiege system.

Gross Inconvenience

are speaking of is the calamity of a triple.
The gross inconvenience of

dorm room designed for two
is a fate I would not even
wish the administrators of
this coUege. Overcrowding,
total lack of privacy, and an
extremely tense atmosphere
are daily experiences of "TriMates."
One would think that the
complete failure of Student
Life's experiment with trimates would have taught
them a lesson. However with
the influx of new transfer
students being pumped into
our already overflowing student body, tragedy may occur
again. What is even more
alarming is that some of the
very same students who have
been forced to Uve, grow, and
leam in these unhealthy conditions may be forced to do
the same thing this spring.
Unfortunately it is a bit
late for the Administration to
turn away the influx of new
students, however it would be
a kind gesture to reassure
these battle worn "tri-mates"
that their heU is over. Even a
refund cannot lessen the inconveniences experienced
during the first semester.
Money cannot solve all problems.

Buses for Breaks?
By BETSY LINK
The SCC should run inexpensive
buses
to
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
for students who want to go
home for the hoUdays.
Many students don't have
a way of getting home, and
their parents have to drive as
long as eight hours to come
and pick up their sons and
daughters. If there were two
buses - one to Philadelphia,
and the other to Pittsburgh,
there would be a lot less driving for parents, and students
would StiU be able to make it
home for the hoUdays.
If such a service were
available, we would definitely
take advantage of it. It has
many benefits to it and it
wouldn't be very hard to get
organized into being started.
1 urge you to contact the
SCC and see if such a service
can be started.

Sex, Violence, Love =
By JEFF FLEISHMAN
Editor-in-Chief
FaU in love in the afternoon? Sounds good. WeU it
happens to many LHSC
students who huddle in the
coziness of their rooms and
dormitory lobbies to get
swept away in marital problems, sex, violence and love,
without having to move from
their seats. These after lunch
affairs are known as soap
operas (or soaps to the avid
viewer). These programs have
foUowings as faithful as those
of Billy Grahm and probably
more numerous.
Soap operas have swept the
country and in their tide they
have pulled in the younger
generation (male and
female). The days of the
stranded housewife turning
to the T.V. for some afternoon companionship have
emerged into a population of
addicted fanatics,
around a town, a family and
their trials and tribulations in
the community. They run on
a daily basis. This enables
them to keep up with the
seasons and times of the year.
For example when the viewer
is celebrating Christmas so to

Life to Live."
In recent years the soaps
have changed with the times.
We see more sex and violence
creeping into the "Days of
Our Lives." The country is
experiencing a "Young and
Restless" attitude and
"Ryans Hope" offers the
solution for many. However
others visit the "General
Hospital" for treatment. The

There will be an isolation
chamber installed to be used
for dream analysis. Brainwave equipment will be also
installed.
Another room is designed
for interpersonal skills which
is unique. Carpeting covers
the entire fioor of the room,
and along the wall, the fioor
is raised for seating accomodations. This makes it
easier than having to arrange
chairs in a circle for group
discussions.
This program has been
compared to that at Harvard
and the facilities built at
LHSC were built at one-sixth
the cost.
The internship program is
a revitalization stage which
will have more diversity and
strength. There are four
tracks which the major can
choose from: cUnical, educational, general experience,
and personal development.
The internship has placed
students in several agencies in
Pennsylvania. Several have
continued with these agencies
after graduating.
Many psychology majors
have gone onto graduate
schools. Mark Spear went on
to Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Scott Petralak
went onto Ratford University
in Virginia.
One graduate is now the
Director of Residence Services of Hope Enterprises.
Another is working as a drug
and alcohol counselor in Harrisburg. Another is a job

So the next time you're

you hear "Mary's pregnant."
"Oh no, by who?" "BiU "
"But isn't she seeing Rich?"
"Oh no that was over weeks

"Didn't you hear, he's

Homosexuality^
It's somewhat similar to a girl
thinking that every guy is going to make a pass at her.
Gays are very cautious about
who they approach.
Anotlier misconception
that John feels should be
cleared up is that male
homosexuals are mostly interested in a physical relationship. The emotional aspect is
completely overlooked. He
does make a distinction that
"homosexual experiences do
not necessarily mean you're a
homosexual." He feels that
there are different kinds and
stages of homosexuality, and
it's not something that is just
discovered.
John says, "You don't
choose to be gay. It developes
(Cont. from page 1)
as you grow up."
When John came to Lock
Haven he had thoughts of
starting a gay group - a tyi>e
of consciousness raising
group. He has since abandoned those plans because it
would entail his coming out
of the closet. He felt that if he
came out of the closet, he
would be unable to do
anything as a student because
he would always be branded
as a homosexual.
He sees homosexuals as a
"minority that is present in
every area of Ufe" - race, age,
social status. However, here
in
Lock
Haven,
he
categorizes the situation as
being, "me-ness versus theyness."
Club Plans to Show Movies
By TIM BORGER
The International Club wiU
be getting movies from other
countries next semester that
will show the cultures and
happening in other civiUzations. The International Club
is an organization on campus
that consists of students from
other
countries.
The
members of this organization
are getting these movies by
contacting their respective
embassies. They're getting
these movies to show other
students exactly what the
cultures are Uke in countries
and to try eUminate myths
that were formed by the
movie industry.
