Academic Procedures:
Sources of Confusion
Academic
procedures
are
often a source of confusion for
incoming freshmen. C l a s s e s in
the afternoon begin at ten minutes past the hour instead of on
the hour a s in the morning.
T u e s d a y s and Thursdays everyone is free from 1-2 p. m. On
these two d a y s , c l a s s e s are
scheduled
from 2:10-3:40 and
3:40-5:00. T h e s e c l a s s e s will
be held only twice a week,
rather than three times for 50
minutes as is the normal set up
for the majority of three credit
courses.
Here at LHS, the letter s y s tem of grading is employed.
The points for each lette. prade

iibrory

are as foUows: A-4, B-3, C-2,
D-1, and E-0. The coUege operates on a two semester b a s i s .
Mid-term examinations are held
in October and March, and
final exams are held in January and May.
Concerning c l a s s c u t s , there is
no true system prohibiting this
habit. Theoretically no penalty
can be leveled upon those who
cut c l a s s e s . However,
three
consecutive cuts in any one
c l a s s will be reported \o the
dean of academic affairs.
Low grades, which are issued
at mid-semester, are used only
as a warning to the student.
This is an indication that the

student is not working t o his
capacity. The only real penalty
involved is that freshmen women
who receive low grades will
not
be allowed later
hours
second semester.
A pass-fail option for courses
is available to all s t u d e n t s .
However courses chosen on the
P-F b a s i s may not be in the
s t u d e n t ' s major field. No grades
are issued for the course; the
student simply receives course
credit or is informed to repeat
the course. No quality points
are given, and the cumulative
average is not affected. This
system is designed to encourage
students to select courses outside their majors.

The Lock Haven Stale
.pas
will be sprinkled with gra> hats
next
week
when
Freshmen
Customs goes into full swing.
The customs committee, con-

sisting of 50 members of the
c l a s s of '72, is designed " t o
orient the freshmen to coUege
life and to e s t a b l i s h better
rapport with t h e m . " according
to Jim Adelsburger, co-chairman
of the committee.
Freshmen are encouraged but
not required to participate in
frosh customs. Those who do join
the fun will wear the traditional
" d i n k s " and freshman badges
(something new this year) every
day.
A l s o , the frosh are expected
to familiarize themselves with
Tl:e Compass (the LHS student
handbook) and to wear white
socks and s n e a k e r s . The Compass
contains
valuable
information
on everything from grades to
student government and social
life.
The customs committee will
hold a meeting with the freshmen
on Sunday night, September 7,
in Price Auditorium at 7 pm.
Other scheduled events are a folk
sing in Smith Hall on Monday,
September 8, and a picnic on
Thursday, September H .

New Class Rates
Highest Scores
Once again, LHS's freshman
c l a s s has improved upon the
record of its predecessor. Ninetysix percent of the frosh were in
the upper 3/5 of their high school
graduating
class.
The
mean
coUege board s c o r e s were 477,
verbal, (an increase from 464 the
previous year) and 514, math,
(an increase from 501).
The c l a s s of 1973 totals 602
members. Of this number 177 are
male r e s i d e n t s , 311 are female
residents, and 114 are commuting
students. This year LHS also
has 104 transfer s t u d e n t s .
The frosh were recruited by
members of the coUege admissions office who held 25 college
nights and visited 27 other high
schools. The 603 freshmen were
selected from 2400 applications.
Ninety-five percent of the c l a s s
are residents of Pennsylvania.
The new students (both frosh
and transfers) are evenly distributed among the four major
curriculums.
Currently
this
distribution i s : 172 in liberal
a r t s , 165 in elementary education, 182 in physical education,
and 187 in secondary education.

Freshmen women will meet
with their orientation leaders
today from 1 to 2 pm and on
Monday from 3:30 to 4:30 pm.
The meeting places will be
designated by the leaders,
who will notify the freshmen.

in State of Chaos

For the next two weeks, getting a library book at Lock
Haven State will be a s difficult
as trying to have one's scholarship increased. All of the books
in the s t a c k s have been moved
into the new library building.
However, reference books, reserved books, periodicals, and
the card catalogue are still
in the old building.
Since no students or faculty
will be admitted in the new building at this time, Mr. Bruce
Thomas, libraiian, has outlined
the procedure for obtaining a
book. Students and faculty are
to use the card catalogue in the
old building and submit their
list to the librarian. Books will
be delivered to the old library
3 times d a i l y .
Library
hours
have
been
extended
this year to 7:3010 pm Monday through Friday;
7:45-4 pm Saturday; and 2-10
pm Sunday. These new hours will
a l s o be maintained in the old
' b u i l d i n g . The temporary inconvenience should end in 2 weeks
when the new Stevenson Library
is approved by the General
State Authority.
The
new
library
features

improved lighting, three c l a s s rooms, more and better seating,
air conditioning, and individual
study booths. It will also have
turnstiles at the entrance to count
library faffic and cut down on
loss of materials.
According to Mr. Thomas, a book
walk may be held to transport
the remaining books to the new
library. This summer 25 students
packed 1000 boxes 11 times in
order to move the books to the
new building c i t e .

DPI Changed
The Pennsylvania department
public instruction is gone.
Governor Shafer signed a bill
over the summer redesignating
the department as the department of education. The governor
said the new name reflects the
s t a t e ' s expanding
responsibilities in h i g h e r p r i v a t e . a n d p a rochial education in addition to
its traditional role of overseeing
public
schools and
colleges.
The new s t a t e law also makes
tne former
superintendent of
public
instruction
the
state
secretary of education.
