Haag Brings 'Groovies' World To LHS
by Bill Mahon
Por a short time last
evening a group of Lock
Haven students entered the
world of the "Groovies"
and the "Boo Boo's." Reading from his works, Penn
State poet in residence John
Haag began by telling a
story taken from the first
two chapters of his children's book The Mope.
The book, of novel
length, contains such characters as the "unbird - who
doesn't know who he i s " ,
and the "dog-apilliar" who
goes around chasing catapillars. Other characters
include, "the man from some-
where e l s e " and Slippery
Jack who Haag said was,
"My idea of a new kind of
hero,"
Mr, Haag started the
reading with the warning,
"I'll probably forget part of
this as I go along, but I
won't tell you the part i
forget," From this point on
the evening was filled with
every kind of twisted, contradictory statement imaginable.
The characters of The
Mope make siaiemenis like,
"If you can't get advice
from us we're probably not
home," and"im trying to
solve a mystery , Do you
Mc's Fire Does Little Harm;
Cause Unknown
by Dave Heverly
Two local fire companies
responded to a general alarm
fire yesterday morning at McEntire Hall.
The fire was discovered
in a first floor storage room
approximately 9:10 a.m. by a
custodian. The housemother
then turned in the alarm.
A pumper truck from Citizens Hose Co., along with a
ladder truck and ambulance
from tlie Lock Haven Fire Co.,
arrived on the scene at upproximately 9:20 a.m. The
fire was extinguished within
five minutes and the ambulance was not needed.
A fire marshall at the
scene said that while there
were several possible causes
for the fire, he couldn't be
certain at the time which cause
was responsible.
He also added that it
was a minor fire, being confined to the storage room and
damage to the structure waa
limited to a broken window.
The room's contents, how-
ever, consisting mostly of
paper towels, was a complete loss.

Mahoney Replies To Legalize Pot. . ,
Poor Choice For
Fountain Site??
Anonymous
We think that the new
fountain should not be put
behind Raub Hall. Of the
2400 plus students at LHS,
few ever venture anywhere
near the proposed site. If
money is to be invested in a
fountain, why not put it
where the most students
could enjoy it.
We propose that the new
fountain be put between the
Library, Raub Hall, and Russell Hall, Not only would
the area be much larger than
the proposed one, but more
students would be given the
chance to see iti Being put
in this new location the fountain could become a center o(
attraction. The proposed area is a crossroads of students, a place where everyone can enjoy it, not an out
of the way place. In the future it might be possible to
create a "parklike" atmosphere with the fountain being
the center.
If this plan seems better
to you why not show your suppwt by writing a letter to the
e'litor expressing your views, |
To the Editor:
I write this letter in reply to Mr, Hill's Consider...
Legalize Pot. His points on
legalization of marijuana are
perhaps very desirous for many. Yet I believe that these
seemingly valid points are
rationalizations.
First, the writer begins
by stating that " w e " feel
that marijuana should be legalized. This is a dangerous
generalization because many
young people and adults, I
feel, are not yet decided upon the merits of marijuana,
I only ask, who does he then
represent?
The author follows by
citing the Shafer report as in
favor of legalization of pot.
His main reason behind this
contention rests on the reports high governmental basis, I, as one, cannot readily accept this as a major reason. His confidence in governmental studies is indeed
encouraging. It is true that
the Shafer Report was not a
rubber stamp of the Administration's view (Nixon refused
to accept its findings). As
rational people, we must consider all opinions and studies. This controversy about
marijuana's merits is especially difficult becuase there
is so much said by legal, medical and religious experts,
and all the information conflicts one numberous issues.
To take one study as fact
and the last word is a bit
hasty.
The writer next states
that the "American silent
majority missed its chance
in California" to legalize
marijuana. I think it is quite
clear that the people of California in the 1972 marijuana
referendum made their opinions known that the time is
not right for legalization of
marijuana.
That the sale of marijuana could be regulated in
this country is a vacant hope.
An effort would require a
huge administrative taskt
The regulation of its non-use
today is an immense failure
itself. The writer's point
about desired better quality
of pot indicates some naivete. The fact that "chippers" in this country are not
suffering more adverse effects of cannabis rests on the
weak quality of the U.S.
hemp. A better quality of
p«»tmay produce more adverse
reactions.
It is a sad part of thi;
marijuana controversy that
many young people do receive
Delta Zeta , Acacia Are Up To Something ;
Fund Raising Project Will Benefit Deaf
By Ed Dennis
A great event involving
the Delta zeta soroity ' and
the Acacia fraternity, will
take place on May] 15 from
1 p.m, to 2 p.m. in front of
Price Auditorium. This is a
charity fund raising project
for the Gallaudet College of
Speech and Hearing.
Although there are some
technical schools and several
community colleges which
take in deaf and hard»ofhearing students, Gallaudet is
the only college in the world
whict. hjia an accreaitea noeral arts otoetum for tne aeai.
In the tall ot 1971, l,u*6
deaf students from 48 sUtes
and 14 foreign countircs were
admitted. Of the sttidents,
approximately 60 percent were
born deaf. Between 25 and 30
percent of the professors also
happen to be deaf. Nevertheless, they have credentials
equal to w better than those
professors serving hearing
colleges.
The student has a choice
of various degrees he may acquire. Hearing students may
study for a Master of Science
degree in audiology. A Master
of Arts degree in either teaching or counseling is also offered. These are just two of
the number of degrees a deaf
student may acquire at Gallaudet.
Extra-curricular activities
play a big part in the Gallaudet
student's life. Like most colleges, they have a student
{ovettunent, which is quite
wwerful on the campus. Social
life is expanded with its three
sororities, three
fraternities
and independent organizations
such as the International Club.
Theatre is quite prominent
with its two active drama
groups, the Gallaudet College
Theatre and the Frederick H.
Hughes. Memorial Theatre.
The athletic program involves students in ten sports,
Gallaudet is competitive in
football, track, golf, tennis,
and swimming. The college,
however, is most competitive
ih ice hockey and soccer.
On May 15, everyone is
invited to gp and see what's
happening. Gallaudet College
has certainly contributed to
humanity; the least LHS students can do, is contribute
to Gallaudet.
criminal records due to the
antiquated laws on possession
of marijuana. Personally, i
feel tliat decriminalization is
soon to be realized. One basic
reason is that the prosecution
of mere possession cases is
overcrowding our courts. Yet
the writer alludes to another
point. That is, the person who
tokes up should not accept
the responsibility of his act,
especially if it is an anlawful
act. Societal laws state that
use and possession of any
narcotic, of which marijuana
is one, is unlawful. Many of
us may disagree in whole or
part with it. Nevertheless, it
is the will of the majority. I
recognise the argument based
on personal liberty to abuse
our bodies that many are now
advocating. But the point still
remains that those choosing
to violate the law must accept
the consequences, i.e., limited
job opportunities. So besides
the unknown physical effects,
the writer acknowledges mari
juana>s legal "bad effects."
The writer is inaccurate
in his details on the John
l^ennonAoko Ono case. John
was refused citizenship because of marijuana conviction
in Britain. Yoko was not
denied entrance. A'though I
disagree in principle with the
US government action, I recognize that they have a policy
of excluding any undesireables.
Finally, the consideration
presented to the readers was
an appeal for goodness, reform
and truth, writh a special reference to Watergate and Wound
ed Knee. Perhaps the Uuth of
these two human tragedies
have awakened the deadened
sensibility of the people. Yet
the writer does not consider
this in his own arguments for
marijuana's legalization. His
half-truths and rationalizations
about pot neglect a rational
approach by considering all
arguments, not just the few
that conveniently fit his own
belief.
Sincerely,
Tim Mahoney

near the proposed site. If
money is to be invested in a
fountain, why not put it
where the most students
could enjoy it.
We propose that the new
fountain be put between the
Library, Raub Hall, and Russell Hall, Not only would
the area be much larger than
the proposed one, but more
students would be given the
chance to see iti Being put
in this new location the fountain could become a center o(
attraction. The proposed area is a crossroads of students, a place where everyone can enjoy it, not an out
of the way place. In the future it might be possible to
create a "parklike" atmosphere with the fountain being
the center.
If this plan seems better
to you why not show your suppwt by writing a letter to the
e'litor expressing your views, |
To the Editor:
I write this letter in reply to Mr, Hill's Consider...
Legalize Pot. His points on
legalization of marijuana are
perhaps very desirous for many. Yet I believe that these
seemingly valid points are
rationalizations.
First, the writer begins
by stating that " w e " feel
that marijuana should be legalized. This is a dangerous
generalization because many
young people and adults, I
feel, are not yet decided upon the merits of marijuana,
I only ask, who does he then
represent?
The author follows by
citing the Shafer report as in
favor of legalization of pot.
His main reason behind this
contention rests on the reports high governmental basis, I, as one, cannot readily accept this as a major reason. His confidence in governmental studies is indeed
encouraging. It is true that
the Shafer Report was not a
rubber stamp of the Administration's view (Nixon refused
to accept its findings). As
rational people, we must consider all opinions and studies. This controversy about
marijuana's merits is especially difficult becuase there
is so much said by legal, medical and religious experts,
and all the information conflicts one numberous issues.
To take one study as fact
and the last word is a bit
hasty.
The writer next states
that the "American silent
majority missed its chance
in California" to legalize
marijuana. I think it is quite
clear that the people of California in the 1972 marijuana
referendum made their opinions known that the time is
not right for legalization of
marijuana.
That the sale of marijuana could be regulated in
this country is a vacant hope.
An effort would require a
huge administrative taskt
The regulation of its non-use
today is an immense failure
itself. The writer's point
about desired better quality
of pot indicates some naivete. The fact that "chippers" in this country are not
suffering more adverse effects of cannabis rests on the
weak quality of the U.S.
hemp. A better quality of
p«»tmay produce more adverse
reactions.
It is a sad part of thi;
marijuana controversy that
many young people do receive
Delta Zeta , Acacia Are Up To Something ;
Fund Raising Project Will Benefit Deaf
By Ed Dennis
A great event involving
the Delta zeta soroity ' and
the Acacia fraternity, will
take place on May] 15 from
1 p.m, to 2 p.m. in front of
Price Auditorium. This is a
charity fund raising project
for the Gallaudet College of
Speech and Hearing.
Although there are some
technical schools and several
community colleges which
take in deaf and hard»ofhearing students, Gallaudet is
the only college in the world
whict. hjia an accreaitea noeral arts otoetum for tne aeai.
In the tall ot 1971, l,u*6
deaf students from 48 sUtes
and 14 foreign countircs were
admitted. Of the sttidents,
approximately 60 percent were
born deaf. Between 25 and 30
percent of the professors also
happen to be deaf. Nevertheless, they have credentials
equal to w better than those
professors serving hearing
colleges.
The student has a choice
of various degrees he may acquire. Hearing students may
study for a Master of Science
degree in audiology. A Master
of Arts degree in either teaching or counseling is also offered. These are just two of
the number of degrees a deaf
student may acquire at Gallaudet.
Extra-curricular activities
play a big part in the Gallaudet
student's life. Like most colleges, they have a student
{ovettunent, which is quite
wwerful on the campus. Social
life is expanded with its three
sororities, three
fraternities
and independent organizations
such as the International Club.
Theatre is quite prominent
with its two active drama
groups, the Gallaudet College
Theatre and the Frederick H.
Hughes. Memorial Theatre.
The athletic program involves students in ten sports,
Gallaudet is competitive in
football, track, golf, tennis,
and swimming. The college,
however, is most competitive
ih ice hockey and soccer.
On May 15, everyone is
invited to gp and see what's
happening. Gallaudet College
has certainly contributed to
humanity; the least LHS students can do, is contribute
to Gallaudet.
criminal records due to the
antiquated laws on possession
of marijuana. Personally, i
feel tliat decriminalization is
soon to be realized. One basic
reason is that the prosecution
of mere possession cases is
overcrowding our courts. Yet
the writer alludes to another
point. That is, the person who
tokes up should not accept
the responsibility of his act,
especially if it is an anlawful
act. Societal laws state that
use and possession of any
narcotic, of which marijuana
is one, is unlawful. Many of
us may disagree in whole or
part with it. Nevertheless, it
is the will of the majority. I
recognise the argument based
on personal liberty to abuse
our bodies that many are now
advocating. But the point still
remains that those choosing
to violate the law must accept
the consequences, i.e., limited
job opportunities. So besides
the unknown physical effects,
the writer acknowledges mari
juana>s legal "bad effects."
The writer is inaccurate
in his details on the John
l^ennonAoko Ono case. John
was refused citizenship because of marijuana conviction
in Britain. Yoko was not
denied entrance. A'though I
disagree in principle with the
US government action, I recognize that they have a policy
of excluding any undesireables.
Finally, the consideration
presented to the readers was
an appeal for goodness, reform
and truth, writh a special reference to Watergate and Wound
ed Knee. Perhaps the Uuth of
these two human tragedies
have awakened the deadened
sensibility of the people. Yet
the writer does not consider
this in his own arguments for
marijuana's legalization. His
half-truths and rationalizations
about pot neglect a rational
approach by considering all
arguments, not just the few
that conveniently fit his own
belief.
Sincerely,
Tim Mahoney
