Lock Haven State College
Vol. XXI No. 46

Tues. April 17, 1979
Women's Athletics In America Threatened
Sharon Taylor, associate
director of athletics at Lock
Haven State College, and
five other women athletic
directors met with HEW
Secretary Joseph A. Califano, Jr., on April 5 to
discuss the guidelines for
Title IX as applied to intercollegiate athletics, issued
by HEW last December.
Title IX prohibits sex
discrimination in educational programs, including
the funding of intercollegiate athletics. According to the HEW interpretation issued in December,
for a college or university to
be in compliance with the
law, funding of both male
and female sports had to be
on an equal per capita basis
after the deduction of high
costs in some sports, such
as with football equipment
for men.
Prof. Taylor joined with
Donna Lopiana of the University of Texas, Kaye Hart
of Temple University,
Chariotte West of Southern
Illinois University, Nell
Jackson of Michigan State
University, and Chris Grant
of the University of Iowa in
presenting the views of
women athletic directors
and those of the Association of Intercollegiate Atletics for Women (AIAW).
Secretary Califano told
the group, according to Ms.
Taylor, that the current
HEW interpretation has
met strong resistance and
may have to be changed.
He believes that both the
House and Senate appropriations bill for HEW will
contain a rider to prevent
the use of Federal funds for
the enforcement of Title IX
provisions in intercollegiate
athletics, said Ms. Taylor.
The greater danger,
according to Ms. Taylor, is
that Congress may attempt
to exempt intercollegiate
athletics entirely from Title
IX provisions. The result of
such an action, she said,
would be a considerable
loss of funds for institutions
which have already expanded their women's programs. "Women are currently receiving 21 percent
of the athletic scholarship
money nationwide, with 30
percent of all college
athletes being women. This
means that women's athletics are already receiving a
comparatively high proportion of the scholarship
funds that they are entitled
to receive, but if certain
men's sports such as football are exempted from
having to share funds with

other sports, then women's
sports would have to give
back some of the scholarship money now being
allotted to them," said
Taylor.
Before Title IX, only two
percent of the athletic
budgets in colleges nationwide went to women's
athletics. Now, about 14 to
16 percent goes to women's
athletics, according to
Taylor.
"Although the percentage is still small, it has
served as an impetus for
colleges to expand and
develop their women's
athletic programs. If the
law is changed so that
equal opportunity no longer
applies to intercollegiate
athletics, then women's
sports will definitely suffer.
Also, even though the law
does not apply to high
schools, a change in the law
would nnean that female
high school athletes would
not be able to receive the
scholarships which are
currently available," said
Taylor.
Taylor also said the fear
that providing equal support for women's athletics
would mean a decline in
support for men's athletics
is not being born out by the
facts.
"At one institution, for
example, of all the new
sources of revenue which
have been developed for
intercollegiate athletics
since Title IX was instituted, 79 percent has still
gone into men's sports, so
Title IX has not had the
effect of destroying men's
athletics, as had been
predicted," she said.
Prof. Taylor noted that
there has been a strong and
heavily financed lobbying
effort against Title IX
provisions which should be
met by efforts from those
interested in preserving
those provisions which
apply to intercollegiate
athletics. The first step was
taken on April 7-8 at a
meeting of the Association
of Intercollegiate Athletics
for Women, which plans to
coordinate its lobbying
efforts on a regional basis.
"So far, the members of
Congress have heard only
from those opposed to the
Title IX provisions. It is
now important for people
interested in maintaining
the opportunities
for
women in sports to write
their representatives in
Congress expressing their
support of Title IX," said
Taylor.

Title IX Explained
todau's
editorial
By SUSAN SHELLY
Several weeks ago the EAGLE EYE printed an
article which reported several cars parked in Area 9
were damaged by people who jumped on the roofs
and hoods.
No names were used in that article or other
similar reporis because Law Enforcement does not
make the information available to EAGLE EYE
reporters.
When questioned about the policy of not giving
names. Law Enforcement Director Richard Hepner
said the information is not considered public until
the person is referred to the magistrate.
From now on, THE EAGLE EYE will obtain
names from the magistrate and will print them in
cases such as the one mentioned above, if coiiege
students perform such immature and irresponsible
acts as this, we feel they should be recognized for
their actions. Students must realize they are
responsible for what they do and must be prepared
to face that responsibility publicly. W e find that too
often, students want the benefits of independence
and maturity without the less desireable aspects.
Responsibility works two ways.
commentary
Dear Editor,
The National Collegiate
Athletic Association
(NCAA) is currently pressuring Congress to exempt
revenue-producing sports
from complying with the
guidelines set by Title IX.
Title IX of the Education
Amendments of 1972 provides that "no person in the
United States shall, on the
basis of sex, be excluded
from participation in, be
denied the benefits of, or
be subjected to discrimination under any education
program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."
There is presently a
measure in the House
Sub-committee on Postsecondary
Education
to
exempt revenue-producing
sports form this provision.
The NCAA and the "Big
Ten" schools are pressuring for this exemption,
specifically for football and
basketball. Such exemptions could negate the total
impact of Title IX, and

'Campus Cop' Dick Horner Really Hates Littering
By DREW McGHEE
Not long ago, a student
was picked up by Law
Enforcement for littering.
He was caught "red-handed" by Lt. Richard Horner
and brought in. The
student could have been
fined $300 for littering but
Homer had a lengthy discussion with him and the
fine was dropped. The
student, however, did not
get off easy! He had to pick
up trash on campus for a
week. "I could have made
him pay the fine but I felt
that it would be better for
all concerned for him to
clean up the campus,"
Homer said. He said that
this way the college gets a
little cleaner.
"This is why I enjoy
being a campus cop,"
Horner said, "there is more
personal involvement. If I
were a city policeman, the
student would have been
charged with littering and
that would have been the
end of that." Horner added
that the student is now
dispatching
for
Law
Enforcement on the weekends.
Horner is a native of the
Lock Haven area. He
started at LHS in 1973. He
had worked in many jobs
before coming to LHS. At
one time he worked for the
silk milt, in Lock Haven,
but he did not care for
factory work. " I like
working with people." He
said he hated factory work
because there was little
interaction with others. "I
enjoyed working in department stores and gas stations b e t t e r . " " I only
worked at the silk mill out
of necessity; I got married."
Horner said that he has
been interested in law
enforcement since he was
21. He was a Lock Haven
Police Department auxilary
officer for some time prior
to coming to LHS. He said
that his interest in law
enforcement was then confirmed. "Ever since I was
little, I was nosey. I always
wnated to find out everything that was going on. I
like to chase sirens too.
Maybe that is how I got
interested." To satisfy his
need to know, Horner has
been associated with area
volunteer fire companies
since the age of 18.
Presentiv he is a member of
The Goodwill Hose Co. and
Ambulance Association of
Flemington.
Horner is a family man.
He spends all of his free
time with his wife Linda
and his son, Bryon. " I
consider myself 'henpecked' but I enjoy doing things
with my family." He says
that he enjoys taking them
snowmobiling, hunting and
camping the most. "I like
being outdoors. I don't like
being cooped up inside
watching television," he
said.
When Horner came to
Lock Haven State in 1973,
Law Enforcement was just
being reorganized by Carl
Nelson, Director. Nelson
said he hired Horner
because of his persistence.
"He hounded me to death
until I hired him." Nelson
said that his previous
experience as an auxilary
policeman with the city also
was a factor. Nelson also
liked Horner's initiative. " I
appreciate initiative in a
p e r s o n , " Nelson said.
"Dick has always strived to
do a super job. Some times
he was too efficient."
Nelson added that when
Homer Started, this sometimes got in the way.
Nelson considers Homer a
good friend. "If we have

To Receive Awards
The first annual ROTC
Awards Ceremony at Lock
Haven State College will be
presented by the Military
Science Department at 2:00
p.m. in Thomas Field
House on Tuesday, April
24.
The guest of honor and
principal speaker will be
Major General Emmett W.
Bowers, an ROTC graduate
of Mercer University and
an Army veteran of 27
years.
The awards ceremony is
designed to recognize cadet
contributions to Lock Haven State College and
achievements within
ROTC. Fourteen awards
will be presented.
Prior to the awards
ceremony, General Bowers
will attend a luncheon with
LHS president Dr. Francis
N. Hamblin, Cadet Roy
LaPorte, and members of
the college administration.
General Bowers was
commissioned a lieutenant
in the Quartermaster Corps
in 1951. His assignments as
a junior officer include
serving as a budget and
accounting
chief,
an
instructor for financial
management, and as an
analysis and statistics
chief.
His educational background includes an M.B.A.
from the University of
Alabama, graduation from
the Command and General
Staff College, and selection
to the Industrial College of
the Armed Forces. His
major assignments include
duty on the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, command of the
393rd Support Group at Ft.
Lewis, Washington, and his
present assignment as
commander of the Defense
Personnel Support Center,
a world wide command.
any problems we get
together and solve them
right away."
Horner says that he has
good working relationship
with the others officers at
Law Enforcement. He was
offered the Director of Law
Enforcement position at
West Chester State College
but turned it down. "I
enjoy this area and I'll stay
here if I can. I also was told
that I was crazy for not
taking the job at West
C h e s t e r , " Horner said.
Nelson felt he should have
taken the job. "Dick being
at West Chester and doing
a great job would have
reflected back on m e , "
Nelson said.
Homer's counterpart Lt.
Richard Hepner, who was
hired one day later than
Homer, said that although
in the begining he and
Homer argued a lot, now
their relationship is great.
" W e confide in one
another. He has good
rapport with our student
employees," Hepner said.
He also added that Homer
always tries to be fair.
A former student dispatcher for Law Enforcement, Debbie Stringer,
says of Homer, "he is the

Today, complete microcomputer systems which

added, " I can't stand

Chang Joins Staff
By ELLEN HEARN
If you've been to the
library lately, you might
have noticed a new face.
Mrs. Shirley Chang has
taken over for Ms. Vogt as
a catalogue reference
librarian while Ms. Vogt is
on leave. Chang, who has
been working here since
March 19th, works mainly
in the reference and catalogue sections of the
library, answering students' questions.
Chang has an M.S. in
library science from Columbia University. She spent 5
years working in Penn
State's library, then worked
in Australia last year at
Australia National University. Prior to working at
Penn State, Mrs. Chang
worked at Yale and Columbia Universities as a librarian.
Chang is "happy to be at
Lock Haven" which she
calls a beautiful school. She
really enjoys working in the
library because "it is a nice
small library" where she
can be involved in many
different areas of the
library instead of concentrating in one area.

Would you believe there
is a singing computer at
Lock Haven State College?
There is, and it can be
found in Akeley Hall, room
207. It is the size of a piece
of typewriter paper.
Dr. Arunkant Patel,
Professor of Math and
Computer Science at LHSC
has recently programmed a
micro computer to play
three songs: Red River,
British Grenadier, and
Jingle Bells. New songs can
be added to the micro
computers memory by
entering musical notes on a
calculator type keyboard
and the result can be heard
through a small speaker.
Patel used one of three
microprocessors which are

only one more goal was
scored. After several blocked shots by the British
goalie. Eagle Donna Jamison finally scored one for
the offense with a shot from
her third home position.
When the opponent's
attack was penetrating the
Eagle goal, they suffered
constant humiliation in the
hands of Lock Haven's
goalie, Cheryl Fluke. Fluke
had 15 saves and was
accredited with playing a
"brilliant game" by Coach
Sharon Taylor.
The Eagles had ten more
shots on goal the second

for the game. I.M. Marsh
had 19 for the game, ten in
the first half and nine in the

"We need more attack

Women's Athletics In America Threatened
Sharon Taylor, associate
director of athletics at Lock
Haven State College, and
five other women athletic
directors met with HEW
Secretary Joseph A. Califano, Jr., on April 5 to
discuss the guidelines for
Title IX as applied to intercollegiate athletics, issued
by HEW last December.
Title IX prohibits sex
discrimination in educational programs, including
the funding of intercollegiate athletics. According to the HEW interpretation issued in December,
for a college or university to
be in compliance with the
law, funding of both male
and female sports had to be
on an equal per capita basis
after the deduction of high
costs in some sports, such
as with football equipment
for men.
Prof. Taylor joined with
Donna Lopiana of the University of Texas, Kaye Hart
of Temple University,
Chariotte West of Southern
Illinois University, Nell
Jackson of Michigan State
University, and Chris Grant
of the University of Iowa in
presenting the views of
women athletic directors
and those of the Association of Intercollegiate Atletics for Women (AIAW).
Secretary Califano told
the group, according to Ms.
Taylor, that the current
HEW interpretation has
met strong resistance and
may have to be changed.
He believes that both the
House and Senate appropriations bill for HEW will
contain a rider to prevent
the use of Federal funds for
the enforcement of Title IX
provisions in intercollegiate
athletics, said Ms. Taylor.
The greater danger,
according to Ms. Taylor, is
that Congress may attempt
to exempt intercollegiate
athletics entirely from Title
IX provisions. The result of
such an action, she said,
would be a considerable
loss of funds for institutions
which have already expanded their women's programs. "Women are currently receiving 21 percent
of the athletic scholarship
money nationwide, with 30
percent of all college
athletes being women. This
means that women's athletics are already receiving a
comparatively high proportion of the scholarship
funds that they are entitled
to receive, but if certain
men's sports such as football are exempted from
having to share funds with

other sports, then women's
sports would have to give
back some of the scholarship money now being
allotted to them," said
Taylor.
Before Title IX, only two
percent of the athletic
budgets in colleges nationwide went to women's
athletics. Now, about 14 to
16 percent goes to women's
athletics, according to
Taylor.
"Although the percentage is still small, it has
served as an impetus for
colleges to expand and
develop their women's
athletic programs. If the
law is changed so that
equal opportunity no longer
applies to intercollegiate
athletics, then women's
sports will definitely suffer.
Also, even though the law
does not apply to high
schools, a change in the law
would nnean that female
high school athletes would
not be able to receive the
scholarships which are
currently available," said
Taylor.
Taylor also said the fear
that providing equal support for women's athletics
would mean a decline in
support for men's athletics
is not being born out by the
facts.
"At one institution, for
example, of all the new
sources of revenue which
have been developed for
intercollegiate athletics
since Title IX was instituted, 79 percent has still
gone into men's sports, so
Title IX has not had the
effect of destroying men's
athletics, as had been
predicted," she said.
Prof. Taylor noted that
there has been a strong and
heavily financed lobbying
effort against Title IX
provisions which should be
met by efforts from those
interested in preserving
those provisions which
apply to intercollegiate
athletics. The first step was
taken on April 7-8 at a
meeting of the Association
of Intercollegiate Athletics
for Women, which plans to
coordinate its lobbying
efforts on a regional basis.
"So far, the members of
Congress have heard only
from those opposed to the
Title IX provisions. It is
now important for people
interested in maintaining
the opportunities
for
women in sports to write
their representatives in
Congress expressing their
support of Title IX," said
Taylor.

By SUSAN SHELLY
Several weeks ago the EAGLE EYE printed an
article which reported several cars parked in Area 9
were damaged by people who jumped on the roofs
and hoods.
No names were used in that article or other
similar reporis because Law Enforcement does not
make the information available to EAGLE EYE
reporters.
When questioned about the policy of not giving
names. Law Enforcement Director Richard Hepner
said the information is not considered public until
the person is referred to the magistrate.
From now on, THE EAGLE EYE will obtain
names from the magistrate and will print them in
cases such as the one mentioned above, if coiiege
students perform such immature and irresponsible
acts as this, we feel they should be recognized for
their actions. Students must realize they are
responsible for what they do and must be prepared
to face that responsibility publicly. W e find that too
often, students want the benefits of independence
and maturity without the less desireable aspects.
Responsibility works two ways.
commentary
Dear Editor,
The National Collegiate
Athletic Association
(NCAA) is currently pressuring Congress to exempt
revenue-producing sports
from complying with the
guidelines set by Title IX.
Title IX of the Education
Amendments of 1972 provides that "no person in the
United States shall, on the
basis of sex, be excluded
from participation in, be
denied the benefits of, or
be subjected to discrimination under any education
program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."
There is presently a
measure in the House
Sub-committee on Postsecondary
Education
to
exempt revenue-producing
sports form this provision.
The NCAA and the "Big
Ten" schools are pressuring for this exemption,
specifically for football and
basketball. Such exemptions could negate the total
impact of Title IX, and

'Campus Cop' Dick Horner Really Hates Littering
By DREW McGHEE
Not long ago, a student
was picked up by Law
Enforcement for littering.
He was caught "red-handed" by Lt. Richard Horner
and brought in. The
student could have been
fined $300 for littering but
Homer had a lengthy discussion with him and the
fine was dropped. The
student, however, did not
get off easy! He had to pick
up trash on campus for a
week. "I could have made
him pay the fine but I felt
that it would be better for
all concerned for him to
clean up the campus,"
Homer said. He said that
this way the college gets a
little cleaner.
"This is why I enjoy
being a campus cop,"
Horner said, "there is more
personal involvement. If I
were a city policeman, the
student would have been
charged with littering and
that would have been the
end of that." Horner added
that the student is now
dispatching
for
Law
Enforcement on the weekends.
Horner is a native of the
Lock Haven area. He
started at LHS in 1973. He
had worked in many jobs
before coming to LHS. At
one time he worked for the
silk milt, in Lock Haven,
but he did not care for
factory work. " I like
working with people." He
said he hated factory work
because there was little
interaction with others. "I
enjoyed working in department stores and gas stations b e t t e r . " " I only
worked at the silk mill out
of necessity; I got married."
Horner said that he has
been interested in law
enforcement since he was
21. He was a Lock Haven
Police Department auxilary
officer for some time prior
to coming to LHS. He said
that his interest in law
enforcement was then confirmed. "Ever since I was
little, I was nosey. I always
wnated to find out everything that was going on. I
like to chase sirens too.
Maybe that is how I got
interested." To satisfy his
need to know, Horner has
been associated with area
volunteer fire companies
since the age of 18.
Presentiv he is a member of
The Goodwill Hose Co. and
Ambulance Association of
Flemington.
Horner is a family man.
He spends all of his free
time with his wife Linda
and his son, Bryon. " I
consider myself 'henpecked' but I enjoy doing things
with my family." He says
that he enjoys taking them
snowmobiling, hunting and
camping the most. "I like
being outdoors. I don't like
being cooped up inside
watching television," he
said.
When Horner came to
Lock Haven State in 1973,
Law Enforcement was just
being reorganized by Carl
Nelson, Director. Nelson
said he hired Horner
because of his persistence.
"He hounded me to death
until I hired him." Nelson
said that his previous
experience as an auxilary
policeman with the city also
was a factor. Nelson also
liked Horner's initiative. " I
appreciate initiative in a
p e r s o n , " Nelson said.
"Dick has always strived to
do a super job. Some times
he was too efficient."
Nelson added that when
Homer Started, this sometimes got in the way.
Nelson considers Homer a
good friend. "If we have

To Receive Awards
The first annual ROTC
Awards Ceremony at Lock
Haven State College will be
presented by the Military
Science Department at 2:00
p.m. in Thomas Field
House on Tuesday, April
24.
The guest of honor and
principal speaker will be
Major General Emmett W.
Bowers, an ROTC graduate
of Mercer University and
an Army veteran of 27
years.
The awards ceremony is
designed to recognize cadet
contributions to Lock Haven State College and
achievements within
ROTC. Fourteen awards
will be presented.
Prior to the awards
ceremony, General Bowers
will attend a luncheon with
LHS president Dr. Francis
N. Hamblin, Cadet Roy
LaPorte, and members of
the college administration.
General Bowers was
commissioned a lieutenant
in the Quartermaster Corps
in 1951. His assignments as
a junior officer include
serving as a budget and
accounting
chief,
an
instructor for financial
management, and as an
analysis and statistics
chief.
His educational background includes an M.B.A.
from the University of
Alabama, graduation from
the Command and General
Staff College, and selection
to the Industrial College of
the Armed Forces. His
major assignments include
duty on the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, command of the
393rd Support Group at Ft.
Lewis, Washington, and his
present assignment as
commander of the Defense
Personnel Support Center,
a world wide command.
any problems we get
together and solve them
right away."
Horner says that he has
good working relationship
with the others officers at
Law Enforcement. He was
offered the Director of Law
Enforcement position at
West Chester State College
but turned it down. "I
enjoy this area and I'll stay
here if I can. I also was told
that I was crazy for not
taking the job at West
C h e s t e r , " Horner said.
Nelson felt he should have
taken the job. "Dick being
at West Chester and doing
a great job would have
reflected back on m e , "
Nelson said.
Homer's counterpart Lt.
Richard Hepner, who was
hired one day later than
Homer, said that although
in the begining he and
Homer argued a lot, now
their relationship is great.
" W e confide in one
another. He has good
rapport with our student
employees," Hepner said.
He also added that Homer
always tries to be fair.
A former student dispatcher for Law Enforcement, Debbie Stringer,
says of Homer, "he is the

possible. The invention of
integrated circuits that are

computer size. Patel said
that twenty years ago, a
computer with the capabilities of todays microcomputers would fill at
least one large room.
Today, complete microcomputer systems which
could fit on a desktop are
being sold in mass quantities. The Radio Shack
Corporation announced last
year a tenfold increase in
microcomputer sales which
shows the increasing number of microcomputers that
are being used by noncomputer oriented people.
The price of these devices
have dropped yearly in
proportion to size decreases
and increasing competition.
Microcomputers can provide the average family

I enjoyed working there a

Nelson says of Homer,
' 'he always attempts to do a
quality job. His efforts are
greatly appreciated here."
Horner said that he would
like to work more with the
students at LHS. He also
added, " I can't stand
littering."
Chang Joins Staff
By ELLEN HEARN
If you've been to the
library lately, you might
have noticed a new face.
Mrs. Shirley Chang has
taken over for Ms. Vogt as
a catalogue reference
librarian while Ms. Vogt is
on leave. Chang, who has
been working here since
March 19th, works mainly
in the reference and catalogue sections of the
library, answering students' questions.
Chang has an M.S. in
library science from Columbia University. She spent 5
years working in Penn
State's library, then worked
in Australia last year at
Australia National University. Prior to working at
Penn State, Mrs. Chang
worked at Yale and Columbia Universities as a librarian.
Chang is "happy to be at
Lock Haven" which she
calls a beautiful school. She
really enjoys working in the
library because "it is a nice
small library" where she
can be involved in many
different areas of the
library instead of concentrating in one area.

Dr. Arunkant Patel,
Professor of Math and

entering musical notes on a

and the result can be heard
through a small speaker.

When the opponent's
