At the F e b r u a r y 19th meeting of the Student Cooperative
Council a vote was taken on the
issue of the removal of cigarette machines from the Lock
Haven State College c a m p u s
following a motion to that effect
m a d e by J e a n Meyer. Of the
36 representatives present, 19
voted to remove the machines
and 17 voted to take no action
on the m a t t e r . The motion was
carried, and a report to that effect will be sent to President

The basis of the entire cigarette issues lies in the recent
government report which links
cigarette smoking to cancer.

Sophomore Class men. Freshm a n Class women. Alpha Phi

EIGHT MODERN WRITERS
by J. I. M. Stewart
British scholarship seems to
delight in the protracted production of long series on massive themes. Such series a r e inevitably issued at random intervals either by Oxford or
Cambridge University Presses
and just as inevitably become
definitive in whatever field is
considered by that particular
series. In consideration of this,
t h e most recent volume of the
"Oxford History of English Lite r a t u r e " is of additional interest in that it considers certain
modern authors. In light of the
authoritative intent of this particular series, it would appear
t h a t some once-highly controversial writers are now admitted to The Establishment.
J. I. M. Stewart, the author of
E I G H T MODERN WRITERS,
was born in Scotland and is a
g r a d u a t e of Oxford. He h a s , on
occasion, taught at American
universities. He writes a crisp
critical prose and at times is
capable of combining insight
a n d analysis to incisive purpose.
At his best in this book, he
handles the widely varied write r s with a sort of Scottish comm o n sense; his scope and understanding is refreshing. His
willingness to consider so wide
a range of styles, purposes, and
techniques is admirable. Yet
t h e effect approaches disappointment as Stewart ends most
of his appraisals on a tentative
note. Stewart obviously selected eight fairly safe authors
(Conrad, Hardy, J a m e s , Joyce,
Kipling, L a w r e n c e , S h a w ,
Yeats) and his unwillingness to
commit himself fully to the
thesis of their collective greatness seems overly c a u t i o u s .
Certainly all of these m e n have
received m u c h critical attention, but there remains a need
for a succinct summarization of
these m e n and the impact of
their writing on the public. It
would seem that such an undertaking is at the core of the purpose of the "Oxford History."
For m e the most frustrating
chapter w a s the one dealing
with J a m e s Joyce. No other
chapter better illustrated the
excellence and timidity of this
study. In considering the writings of Joyce before ULYSSES
and in c o n s i d e r i n g FINNEGANS WAKE, Stewart writes
with firmness and even daring.
He admits the difficulties of
Joyce's final effort and calmly
suggests t h a t it m a y well be a
noble failure.
The considerations of Joyce's
poetry, his short stories and the
PORTRAIT seem quite accur a t e . But in dealing with ULYSSES, there is no final appraisal;
only a constant shifting of opinion. There would now seem to
b e ample grounds for calling
ULYSSES a classic and the excessive caution displayed by
Stewart seems more like timidity.
Perhaps the most successful
chapter deals with Kipling. For
some time there has been a revival of Kipling, and I h a d the
inipression that most of the critical attention was on the verse.
It comes as a mild surprise to
find Stewart praising the prose
a n d more or less dismissing the
poetry. A feature of Stewart's
criticism is to isolate the worst
features in an author's writing
and to demonstrate how these
defects were either circumvented or surmounted. In such mann e r Stewart reveals Kipling's
obsession with cruelty and indicates how this obsession is utilized to advantage in the best
fiction. Stewart is quite successful in forcing the reader to reconsider Kipling; after reading
Stewart on Kipling, it now
seems necessary to start c a r e fully re-reading Kipling.
Stewart seems equally successful in dealing with Lawrence. There is a sympathetic
understanding of L a w r e n c e ' s
purpose which shows in the discussion of the novels. There is
no hesitation in showing Lawrence's writing at worst, and
Stewart is instructive in indicating the roots of these failures. The joint analysis of THE
RAINBOW and W O M E N IN
LOVE is excellent and fully
indicates the magnitude of Lawrence's artistry.
Stewart's explanation of the
mystical philosophy of Yeats,
his discussion of J a m e s ' method in the later novels, the analysis of Conrad's NOSTROMO,
and the lucid demonstrations of
those scenes wherein Shaw's
verbal virtuosity hides the invalidity of Shavian philosophy
are excellent components in this
study. However, to m y taste,
the approach to Hardy's novels
seems uncertain and Stewart
almost leaves the reader wondering why anyone bothers to
read the novels. His purpose,
or so he states, is to praise the
novels. Stewart regains stride
when he discusses the poems
and his confusion m a y indicate
a belief that Hardy as a poet
m a y eventually be more important than Hardy as a novelist.
I do not want to seem overly
harsh, for in m a n y ways I consider this a valuable study.
Stewart's most valuable success in his book m a y be his creation of a new climate in which
to read these authors. All of
them h a v e been at one time or
another the victims of extreme
adulation from certain critics.
In considering a writer such as
Lawrence or Yeats, Stewart
cuts through the fog of adulation with certainty. What I consider an excessive reluctance to
praise m a y be the result of
Stewart's care not to overpraise. Yet it seems to m e that
anyone writing a volume of the
"Oxford History of English Lite r a t u r e " and writing as well as
Stewart does could speak with
a greater degree of authority.

CAROL L E E , Glen Rock, N. J.,
Health Education:
"Although I am a non-smoker
and would like to see this dangerous habit done away with;
I think that it is a great mistake
to take these machines out. We
are here to learn to be independent and make our own decisions. How will we learn if
these decisions a r e m a d e for
us?"
BILL P R I C E , Clearfield, Liberal A r t s :
"I feel that the m a t t e r of cigarettes is u p to the individual.
There is no sense in removing
any machines from the campus,
if the students walk down town
for them. R e m e m b e r , s o m e
people will walk a mile for a
camel."
SUE FOCHT, King of Prussia,
Secondary:
"I don't think that it will accomplish a thing. The students
who smoke will only find some
other place to get tiieir supply
of cigarettes."
McCarty
Focht
" P A T " McCARTY, Lock Haven, Secondary:
"As college students at LHSC
we a r e accepted as maturing
students who a r e being taught
to m a k e good sound decisions.
" T h e government-sponsored
investigation into the ill-effects
of cigarettes on the human body
clearly indicates that a person's
decision to smoke cigarettes is
a poor one, even though it affects only his health.
"To assist those who are unable to make a sound choice,
removal of the cigarette vending machines is a boon to their
future health. Congratulations
to SCC for its recommendation.
" F o r those who cast stones
and explode with 'sour grapes,'
I point to the economic argument that there is a six-cent
s a v i n g to cigarette smokers
who purchase their cigarettes
over the counter. During one
school semester, a saving of a
sum equal to the cost of one
text book for the pack-a-day
smoker. Better still, if a person completely abstains for a
semester, he can finance the
total cost of his text books in
the average c a s e . "

NEST

At 6:30 the doors opened and
the students rushed in. The enthusiasm was so acute that the
loud speakers w e r e unheard
among the tumultuous crowd.
Ten minutes later few seats remained.
Then c a m e the Bloomsburg
J. V.'s with a moderate ovation. But the true theme of the
evening w a s felt for the first
time as Robin Klar won the
first match after leading the
Eagles on to a new m a t , which
w a s recently purchased. The
ovation for t h i s unheralded
t e a m was heart warming. In a
well wrestled match the Junior
Eagles bowed to the Bloomers,
15-20, as Klar, Mike Williams,
and Steve Hancock won for
Lock Haven.
Intermission brought m o r e
Lock Haven rooters and the
feeling each experienced was
that of hopeful victory. Russ
Houk appeared confident a s his
Huskies m a d e their debut and
took their preliminary warmups. The team itself confident
from their 18-9 victory last
year, left the m a t for the soon
expected Eagles.
Waiting was the biggest problem. Horns sounded, occasional
cheers were screamed, and bugles were blown. Then they
came and we knew they were
as ready as ever. Led by Fred
Powell, a determination w a s
witnessed, the like of which I
have never seen. In addition,
most spectators' suspicions had
proved incorrect. B i l l Blacksmith was there.
You could feel the desire for
victory as Jeff Lorson m e t Joel
Melitski and on down the line
to H a r r y Sisak and Dave Stuempfle.
Jeff wrestled a d m i r a b l y
against an undefeated opponent. The final score was 5-2 in
favor of Melitski. Then F r e d
went against arch-rival Bill
Robb defeating him, 3-0, even-

Benefit for "Boomer
ing the score at 3-3. Surprise
was in store for Russ Houk
when Adam Waltz met with E d
Taylor. Both held outstanding
records, but Adam was in a
lower weight class and weakened by the loss of weight.
Things l o o k e d promising as
Adam worked on Taylor. But
m a t t e r s changed in the second
and third periods, and Adam
bowed 13-4, putting Bloomsburg
ahead 6-3.
Bill Blacksmith, State College
Conference Champion last year
was next according to Huskie
plans. Dick Scorese was the
foe; highly touted, always good
against Lock Haven, and it was
this m a t c h that the Huskies
needed. But this was not Lock
Haven's idea, not Blacksmith's.
His first match of the year.
Bill wanted this one very much.
Like a c a t Bill thwarted Scorese's first period attempts. It
was wonderful to watch the
Blacksmith hand go up in victory and Houk's face turn sinister, in a 6-2 decision. Hub's
plan had worked, and now it
was F r a n k Eisenhower's turn.
As much as the others, Ike
wanted this one. Bill Paule was
as contemptuous as ever, but it
did him little good as Ike turned
the tables in a 5-3 win. The win
m a d e the score 9-6 in favor of
Lock Haven.
Houk now in deep trouble
sent Tom Vargo a g a i n s t
"Stuempfle p r e p a r e d " Rodger
Cook. Rodger was nervous all
day but this disappeared when
he shook hands with Vargo.
Again Lock Haven fans cheered
as Cook booted Vargo 5-4. The
score stood at 12-6 leaning the
Eagles' way.
J e r r y S w o p e went against
John Owens and whipped him,
10-6. J e r r y made it look relatively easy a g a i n s t a very
strong opponent. The score now
stood Lock Haven 15, Bloomsburg 6.

Hauk needed to put Bloomsburg

Good health and a sound body
a r e two assets which all physical education majors and almost all other students at Lock

blessed with. Good health is
just as essential to an athlete.
Ross (Boomer) Nevel
against Tom Simmons was R a y

and for all that he had what it

Victory assured by Simmon's
win, t h e spotlight turned to
H a r r y Sisak and Dave Stuempfle. H a r r y battled Stuempfle
for little over a minute before
it w a s evident that Mr. Stuempfle was no match for him. The

hit the m a t , indicating Sisak

There's a time and place for everything
Right now Shakespeare has you engrossed. But
when you've finished "Romeo and Juliet," take
a "telephone break" and call home. Your parents
would love to hear from you. It means so much
—costs so litde.
as faith is to a religious m a n .
A boy must have c o u r a g e ,
strength and a strong desire to
become a success. Before he
can hope to become an athlete,
he must possess these qualities.
If he is handicapped by a lack
of courage or desire, only within himself can he find strength
to overcome his weakness in
this area of his life. If the
child's body lacks the physical
strength to achieve his goal, it
is up to his friends to give h i m
a helping hand.
Ross " B o o m e r " Nevel, a local sports-minded seven-yearold, is one of these youngsters
who needs a helping hand to
reach his goal of becoming an
athlete. He needs our help now.
Since birth, Ross Nevel, J r . ' s
boy has had a hole in his heart.
This hole m u s t be repaired if
the boy can ever hope to put on
a fielder's mitt or a •jvrestler's
gear.
Only four months from now,
while most of us will be enjoying our s u m m e r vacations,
" B o o m e r " will undergo open
heart surgery in Philadelphia's
Hahnemann Hospital. In J u n e ,
while one of his favorite t e a m s
is playing only a few miles
away in Connie Mack Stadium,
" B o o m e r " will be at bat in an
operating room. He'll be facing
not the league's best pitchers,
but, instead, will have the country's finest h e a r t s u r g e o n s
pitching for him.
"Boomer," despite his apparently good physical condition,
has had the h e a r t problem since
birth. He has been under the
care of a h e a r t specialist at the
Philadelphia hospital since 1957.
Three times he h a s undergone
cautherizations, which are tests
m a d e to determine the pressure
of the blood at the opening.
To help cover the great expense which these serious operations call for, a r e a friends of
" B o o m e r " and his father and
mother have engineered a benefit wrestling meet in the Nevel's honor. The "Benefit for
Boomer," as it is called, will
see Lock Haven's YMCA grapplers face Lock Haven State's
talented m a t m e n . The event is
scheduled for this Wednesday
evening, March 4, at 8:30 in
Thomas Field House.
Tickets for the benefit meet
a r e on sale now in downtown
Lock Haven and will be sold at
the door this Wednesday. Tickets for adults will be $1.25 and
for students, the price will be
only $.75. The entire amount of
money received Wednesday will
go towards " B o o m e r ' s " operation.

Some day in the near future,

EIGHT MODERN WRITERS
by J. I. M. Stewart
British scholarship seems to
delight in the protracted production of long series on massive themes. Such series a r e inevitably issued at random intervals either by Oxford or
Cambridge University Presses
and just as inevitably become
definitive in whatever field is
considered by that particular
series. In consideration of this,
t h e most recent volume of the
"Oxford History of English Lite r a t u r e " is of additional interest in that it considers certain
modern authors. In light of the
authoritative intent of this particular series, it would appear
t h a t some once-highly controversial writers are now admitted to The Establishment.
J. I. M. Stewart, the author of
E I G H T MODERN WRITERS,
was born in Scotland and is a
g r a d u a t e of Oxford. He h a s , on
occasion, taught at American
universities. He writes a crisp
critical prose and at times is
capable of combining insight
a n d analysis to incisive purpose.
At his best in this book, he
handles the widely varied write r s with a sort of Scottish comm o n sense; his scope and understanding is refreshing. His
willingness to consider so wide
a range of styles, purposes, and
techniques is admirable. Yet
t h e effect approaches disappointment as Stewart ends most
of his appraisals on a tentative
note. Stewart obviously selected eight fairly safe authors
(Conrad, Hardy, J a m e s , Joyce,
Kipling, L a w r e n c e , S h a w ,
Yeats) and his unwillingness to
commit himself fully to the
thesis of their collective greatness seems overly c a u t i o u s .
Certainly all of these m e n have
received m u c h critical attention, but there remains a need
for a succinct summarization of
these m e n and the impact of
their writing on the public. It
would seem that such an undertaking is at the core of the purpose of the "Oxford History."
For m e the most frustrating
chapter w a s the one dealing
with J a m e s Joyce. No other
chapter better illustrated the
excellence and timidity of this
study. In considering the writings of Joyce before ULYSSES
and in c o n s i d e r i n g FINNEGANS WAKE, Stewart writes
with firmness and even daring.
He admits the difficulties of
Joyce's final effort and calmly
suggests t h a t it m a y well be a
noble failure.
The considerations of Joyce's
poetry, his short stories and the
PORTRAIT seem quite accur a t e . But in dealing with ULYSSES, there is no final appraisal;
only a constant shifting of opinion. There would now seem to
b e ample grounds for calling
ULYSSES a classic and the excessive caution displayed by
Stewart seems more like timidity.
Perhaps the most successful
chapter deals with Kipling. For
some time there has been a revival of Kipling, and I h a d the
inipression that most of the critical attention was on the verse.
It comes as a mild surprise to
find Stewart praising the prose
a n d more or less dismissing the
poetry. A feature of Stewart's
criticism is to isolate the worst
features in an author's writing
and to demonstrate how these
defects were either circumvented or surmounted. In such mann e r Stewart reveals Kipling's
obsession with cruelty and indicates how this obsession is utilized to advantage in the best
fiction. Stewart is quite successful in forcing the reader to reconsider Kipling; after reading
Stewart on Kipling, it now
seems necessary to start c a r e fully re-reading Kipling.
Stewart seems equally successful in dealing with Lawrence. There is a sympathetic
understanding of L a w r e n c e ' s
purpose which shows in the discussion of the novels. There is
no hesitation in showing Lawrence's writing at worst, and
Stewart is instructive in indicating the roots of these failures. The joint analysis of THE
RAINBOW and W O M E N IN
LOVE is excellent and fully
indicates the magnitude of Lawrence's artistry.
Stewart's explanation of the
mystical philosophy of Yeats,
his discussion of J a m e s ' method in the later novels, the analysis of Conrad's NOSTROMO,
and the lucid demonstrations of
those scenes wherein Shaw's
verbal virtuosity hides the invalidity of Shavian philosophy
are excellent components in this
study. However, to m y taste,
the approach to Hardy's novels
seems uncertain and Stewart
almost leaves the reader wondering why anyone bothers to
read the novels. His purpose,
or so he states, is to praise the
novels. Stewart regains stride
when he discusses the poems
and his confusion m a y indicate
a belief that Hardy as a poet
m a y eventually be more important than Hardy as a novelist.
I do not want to seem overly
harsh, for in m a n y ways I consider this a valuable study.
Stewart's most valuable success in his book m a y be his creation of a new climate in which
to read these authors. All of
them h a v e been at one time or
another the victims of extreme
adulation from certain critics.
In considering a writer such as
Lawrence or Yeats, Stewart
cuts through the fog of adulation with certainty. What I consider an excessive reluctance to
praise m a y be the result of
Stewart's care not to overpraise. Yet it seems to m e that
anyone writing a volume of the
"Oxford History of English Lite r a t u r e " and writing as well as
Stewart does could speak with
a greater degree of authority.

"Although I am a non-smoker

BILL P R I C E , Clearfield, Liberal A r t s :

" T h e government-sponsored
investigation into the ill-effects
of cigarettes on the human body
clearly indicates that a person's
decision to smoke cigarettes is
a poor one, even though it affects only his health.
"To assist those who are unable to make a sound choice,
removal of the cigarette vending machines is a boon to their
future health. Congratulations
to SCC for its recommendation.
" F o r those who cast stones
and explode with 'sour grapes,'
I point to the economic argument that there is a six-cent
s a v i n g to cigarette smokers
who purchase their cigarettes
over the counter. During one
school semester, a saving of a
sum equal to the cost of one
text book for the pack-a-day
smoker. Better still, if a person completely abstains for a
semester, he can finance the
total cost of his text books in
the average c a s e . "

At 6:30 the doors opened and
the students rushed in. The enthusiasm was so acute that the
loud speakers w e r e unheard
among the tumultuous crowd.
Ten minutes later few seats remained.
Then c a m e the Bloomsburg
J. V.'s with a moderate ovation. But the true theme of the
evening w a s felt for the first
time as Robin Klar won the
first match after leading the
Eagles on to a new m a t , which
w a s recently purchased. The
ovation for t h i s unheralded
t e a m was heart warming. In a
well wrestled match the Junior
Eagles bowed to the Bloomers,
15-20, as Klar, Mike Williams,
and Steve Hancock won for
Lock Haven.
Intermission brought m o r e
Lock Haven rooters and the
feeling each experienced was
that of hopeful victory. Russ
Houk appeared confident a s his
Huskies m a d e their debut and
took their preliminary warmups. The team itself confident
from their 18-9 victory last
year, left the m a t for the soon
expected Eagles.
Waiting was the biggest problem. Horns sounded, occasional
cheers were screamed, and bugles were blown. Then they
came and we knew they were
as ready as ever. Led by Fred
Powell, a determination w a s
witnessed, the like of which I
have never seen. In addition,
most spectators' suspicions had
proved incorrect. B i l l Blacksmith was there.
You could feel the desire for
victory as Jeff Lorson m e t Joel
Melitski and on down the line
to H a r r y Sisak and Dave Stuempfle.
Jeff wrestled a d m i r a b l y
against an undefeated opponent. The final score was 5-2 in
favor of Melitski. Then F r e d

ing the score at 3-3. Surprise
was in store for Russ Houk
when Adam Waltz met with E d
Taylor. Both held outstanding
records, but Adam was in a
lower weight class and weakened by the loss of weight.
Things l o o k e d promising as
Adam worked on Taylor. But
m a t t e r s changed in the second
and third periods, and Adam
bowed 13-4, putting Bloomsburg
ahead 6-3.
Bill Blacksmith, State College
Conference Champion last year
was next according to Huskie
plans. Dick Scorese was the
foe; highly touted, always good
against Lock Haven, and it was
this m a t c h that the Huskies
needed. But this was not Lock
Haven's idea, not Blacksmith's.
His first match of the year.
Bill wanted this one very much.
Like a c a t Bill thwarted Scorese's first period attempts. It
was wonderful to watch the
Blacksmith hand go up in victory and Houk's face turn sinister, in a 6-2 decision. Hub's
plan had worked, and now it
was F r a n k Eisenhower's turn.
As much as the others, Ike
wanted this one. Bill Paule was
as contemptuous as ever, but it
did him little good as Ike turned
the tables in a 5-3 win. The win
m a d e the score 9-6 in favor of
Lock Haven.
Houk now in deep trouble
sent Tom Vargo a g a i n s t
"Stuempfle p r e p a r e d " Rodger
Cook. Rodger was nervous all
day but this disappeared when
he shook hands with Vargo.
Again Lock Haven fans cheered
as Cook booted Vargo 5-4. The
score stood at 12-6 leaning the
Eagles' way.
J e r r y S w o p e went against
John Owens and whipped him,
10-6. J e r r y made it look relatively easy a g a i n s t a very
strong opponent. The score now
stood Lock Haven 15, Bloomsburg 6.

A boy must have c o u r a g e ,
strength and a strong desire to
become a success. Before he
can hope to become an athlete,
he must possess these qualities.
If he is handicapped by a lack
of courage or desire, only within himself can he find strength
to overcome his weakness in
this area of his life. If the
child's body lacks the physical
strength to achieve his goal, it
is up to his friends to give h i m
a helping hand.
Ross " B o o m e r " Nevel, a local sports-minded seven-yearold, is one of these youngsters
who needs a helping hand to
reach his goal of becoming an
athlete. He needs our help now.
Since birth, Ross Nevel, J r . ' s
boy has had a hole in his heart.
This hole m u s t be repaired if
the boy can ever hope to put on
a fielder's mitt or a •jvrestler's
gear.
Only four months from now,
while most of us will be enjoying our s u m m e r vacations,
" B o o m e r " will undergo open
heart surgery in Philadelphia's
Hahnemann Hospital. In J u n e ,
while one of his favorite t e a m s
is playing only a few miles
away in Connie Mack Stadium,
" B o o m e r " will be at bat in an
operating room. He'll be facing
not the league's best pitchers,
but, instead, will have the country's finest h e a r t s u r g e o n s
pitching for him.
"Boomer," despite his apparently good physical condition,
has had the h e a r t problem since
birth. He has been under the
care of a h e a r t specialist at the
Philadelphia hospital since 1957.
Three times he h a s undergone
cautherizations, which are tests
m a d e to determine the pressure
of the blood at the opening.
To help cover the great expense which these serious operations call for, a r e a friends of
" B o o m e r " and his father and
mother have engineered a benefit wrestling meet in the Nevel's honor. The "Benefit for
Boomer," as it is called, will
see Lock Haven's YMCA grapplers face Lock Haven State's
talented m a t m e n . The event is
scheduled for this Wednesday
evening, March 4, at 8:30 in
Thomas Field House.
Tickets for the benefit meet
a r e on sale now in downtown
Lock Haven and will be sold at
the door this Wednesday. Tickets for adults will be $1.25 and
for students, the price will be
only $.75. The entire amount of
money received Wednesday will
go towards " B o o m e r ' s " operation.
