leffers fo the editor
To the Editor:
Another phase of Lock
Haven apathy has been revealed. Over the past weekend, flyers were posted
around campus stating that
the future of intramurals was
in trouble and in dire need
of help from th • women of
this campus. The present
form of intramurals is to be
changed to a combined
council of six women and
six men. This council would
then govern all future activities of intramurals. A
meeting was scheduled 'or
Monday night at 7:30 p.m.
in Zimmerii lobby. A grand
total of three (3) women
showed up to express their
concern and interest in
intramurals. With this type
of turnout nol much could
be accomplished concerning
the future of the council.
Is this all the concern that
the women of this campus
could render to the continuation of the intramural
program?
It

seems

that few

students are aware of the
people and time needed in
Older to run successful
intramural activities. As
of now, all the responsibility
is in the hands of only a
few while their efforts are
being taken advanti-a- of by
the unconcerned, urinvolved
women of this campu;.. Without more help from our
students our program will
nol be able to offer all of
the activities now available.
I would like to ttiank
Ms. Wood of the Physical
Education department for
all of her time, energy and
concern which she has
contributed
towards
the
betterment of the program.
I would again ask anyone
interested in helping in any
way or anyone wilh any
suggestions to see Pat Fox,
Beth Miller or Ms. Wood as
soon as possible.
Thank vou.
Pat Fox, President of
Women's Intramural Council

Modern technology adds
pain to animals' lives
Moder Tchnology has
done it again. Recently
Congress set aside money
to develop a device that
hammers the legs of dogs
up lo 225 blows per minute.
This supcrduper instrument was developed •
taxpayers' money. Co' .^ s
sits in a closet doling cul
a
multi-billion
dollar
research subsidy as if it
was it's own money. This
country didn't even know
aboul il, much less voice
their opinion.
Several years ago it
was found that shot-gun
bullets and wooden mallets
weren't effective inducing
shock in dogs. They caused
massive hemmorage, broken
bones, and tissue destruction."
A secret researcher
developed the leg crushing
machine two years ago. The
amouni of-beaiing a certain
size dog receives is stored
in a nifty little chart. For
example, a 24 pound dog is
tortured for one hour and
six minutes. Right away the
dog's blood pressure and
heart beat increase. Three
minutes into the crushing
they start to drop until the
dog
dies.
The researchers now
assume that shock may be
induced even in the head,
chest, and genitals from
the same insu-uments.
-To lesl how certain
enzymes affect swelling,
470 rabbits had their legs
crushed. The different enzymes were injected with
consistent results - all
failures. All 470 rabbits
lost their lives to prove
that enzymes don't affect
swelling in rabbits. (It
didn't prove anyttiing in
regard to humans.)
-Twenty-eight
dogs
were struck 135 blows wilh
a hammer to test medications. Some were given
aspirin, some received a
tranquilizer, some got nothing at all. Findings revealed
that aspirin, may be useful
in muscle trauma treatment.
-In a similar experiment
later that year, nerves in
a cat's legs were severed.

then the legs crushed.
-In a severe case of
cruelty, sixteen dogs were
paired for an experiment.
The circulatory systems of
rach pair of animals were
joined by a tube in the
carotid (neck) artery. Over
one thousand blows crushed
the leg of one of the pair.
All animals died within two
hours. This process of
transferring shock from one
animal to another (through
the carotid artery) was
established half a century
ago.
-In 1973 experimenters
actually broke the legs of
20 rabbits by hand. This
showed that the blood sugar
level rises during trauma.
Four dogs were injected with an oily substance
derived from fats to give
them lung damage. When
this didn't kill them, one
of their legs was crushed.
The dogs survived to hobble
on three legs. The researchers then killed the dogs
to perform an autopsy.
Research conclusion: further
investigation is necessary.
A researcher who spent
a large part of his career
mangling animals concluded
that experiments on animals
couldn't be translated to
man because of basic differences between humans
and animals.

Consider...
The Campus Law Enforcement should take further aclion on ttie problem of
adults hunting, for game,
on Lock Haven State Property.
Posting signs does help
but we believe something
more shoUd be done. The
law enforcement should run
an article in the town newspaper. This article should
include just where college
prd erty ends and starts.
The article should also
state the fact ttiat hunters
aren't allowed to hunt on
college property and action
will be taken against anyone
caught.
Action should be taken
now because we do believe
a little effort is worth more
ttian any students life!

Pittsburgh at 6-2-1. Tlie Dolphins are finally back where ttiey

This week's games include quite a few ttiat could go either

over Green Bay, die Rams over ttie Saints, Oakland over San

At one time. President
Ford was a member of the
