local level was generally confined to washed out roads and
bridges, basement flooding,
and inoperable municipal

A handful of freshmen will
meet new college surroundings in the fall of 1978 after
transferring from Lock Haven
to a nearby state-affiliated
university.
Recruited by Lock Haven's
admissions office last year,
five new students are enrolled
in a cooperative engineering
degree program with Penn
State. Since the program consists of five cumulative years
of study, students pursuing a
degree in engineering will
graduate with a Bachelor of
Arts from Lock Haven and a
Bachelor of Science in engineering at Penn State. Dr.

state band post
Florentine Caimi, LHS
band director, has been appointed Pennsylvania State
Chairman for the College Band
Directors National Association. The national association
has officers in each of the 50
states and seeks to improve
the quality of American college bands across the country.
Caimi, who began his term
of office in September, will be
responsible for keeping Pennsylvania college band directors
informed on recent developments in the association. He
will publish the annual newsletter, which this year will
emphasize band bicentennial
activities being held of campuses throughout the state.
In explaining the purpose
of the state association, Caimi
said, "We as band directors
should benefit each other by
sharing our ideas, thereby

Campus motor vehicle code tightened
By PHILIP BURLINGAME
Asst. News Editor
A revision of the campus motor vehicle code, effective since July 1, 1975, allows
all students with 48 or more
credit hours the privilege of
parking in college parking lots.
Accompanying this revision
are other changes designed to
provide for stricter enforcement of the regulations.
The former appeal
process, based on a committee
hearing, has been abolished in
favor of a more informal and
prompt process. In addition,
failure to pay fines for violations of the code may lead to
prosecution by the district

magistrate. Violations judged
by the magistrate are subject
to court costs and/or imprisonment in addition to the basic
fines.
According to Carl
Nelson, Director of Law
Enforcement and Safety, a
traffic jfficer has been
assigned to the parking areas.
An individual is allowed 72
hours, after being issued a
citation to either pay or appeal
the fine to Nelson or Joseph
Nagy, Director of the Student
Union. Failure to comply during that period will add a $1.00
surcharge to each violati.n.
If the matter is turned
over to the magistrate's office.

a court cost fee of $11.00 plus
the basicfinewill accompany a
guilty verdict. Nelson further
stated that almost all parking
violations are clear cut infractions and appeals to the
magistrate are suddenly effective.
Joseph Nagy added
that strict enforcement of the
regulations will be applied
equally to students, staff and
faculty members. Violators
with legitimate excuses are
advised to appeal their cases
before they go to the magistrate's office. Ignorance of the
regularions will not be
accepted in any case as a basis'
for appeal.
