Weekend Higliliglited
BY Popular Sextet
By NORMA TIFFANY
What was it? An epidemic of
beriberi? Was the campus on
fire? Was Charles Atlas showing
how he got "that way?"' Why
were most of LHSC's students
out in their finery on Sunday afternoon, walking to Lock Haven
High's gym? Could it have been
an apathy rally? A meeting of
some sort of an . . . Association?
Perhaps some would consider
the group weird. Maybe that's
because they are. They're all
individuals and pride themselves on this trait. They even
dress differently to maintain this
individuality.
Some of their non-conformity
could perhaps be that Ted
Bleuchel reminds himself not to
be vain by placing "a mirror so
high above his apartment floor
that he can't see himself." Gary
Alexander doesn't smoke, drink
or eat meat. He "would like to
travel to India to study the mystic religious life there." Russ Giguere spends his time walking
The Association in Concert
around cities. "His favorite alltime job was running a merrygo-round because 'people bug
me and I could think'." Terry
Kirkman had enough credits for
2 degrees, but never got around
to graduating. In the process he
has mastered 23 different instruments. Brian Cole has held 3 3
jobs in one year and is quite a
philosopher. Jim Yester almost
became a certified public accountant.
They derived their name from
the fact that they considered
themselves 6 vastly different people of different ideas. They don't
always agree on things, but they
came together as associates to
make music. They have been
together 2-1/2 years as The Association.
Unfortunately for the girl fans,
Jim Yester and Gary Alexander
are married.
Russ Glguere illustrated the
humor of the group by replying

AX As Greek Olympics Lists
Chariot Race, Relays, Dance
The first annual Greek Olympics, sponsored by the Brothers
of Lambda Chi Alpha, will be
presented Sunday, April 23, at
the Soccer Field. The festivities
will begin with a dance in the
Old Cafeteria. It is hoped that
each organization that is represented will wear their Olympic
colors or coat of arms to the
dance so that they can be distinguished from one another.
On Sunday, a set of modified
Olympic games will be held adapted for men's and women's
divisions. Any organization in
addition to fraternities and sororities on campus is urged to
enter. Team points will be given
out and atrophy will be awarded
for first place.
Mrs. Brown
To Conduct
Workshop
Mrs. Beatrice Brown, advisor
to Praeco, will conduct a workshop for high school students
at the annual Press Conference
to be held at Lock Haven High
School on Friday, April 2 1 ,
1967. Following an address on
"The Topography of a Yearbook," Mrs. Brown will work
with students on layout, continuity, and copy techniques. Assisting her will be Sheila Bennetch, editor of the 1967 Praeco,
and Janet Shuey, next year's
editor.
One of the events will be a four
member team orange relay.
Each of the 4 contestants must
run 25 yards. The orange must
be carried under the neck; no
hands may be used. If the contestant drops the orange, he may
pick it up and return to the starting line to begin again. Each
exchange must be made without
the use of the hands.
Another event that should
prove interesting is the sweat
pants relay. It is a 4 man, 440
yard relay. Each man will run
110 yards and then exchange
sweatpants. There is a catch to
it, though, all you contestants
out there—you have to provide
your own sweatpants.
A chance for each team to display its ingenuity will be offered
with a chariot race. Each team
must make its own chariot. It
must have two wheels or more
and be pulled 440 yards. Each
chariot must have a member of
the team as a passenger.
Dave Distler, vice-president of
Lambda Chi Alpha, says that
he hopes that this could become
an annual event at Lock Haven.
He says that its main purpose
is to promote a feeling of unity
among the various organizations on campus.
Debaters Quell Champs
At College Tourney
Four members of Lock Haven's Debate Union attended the
State College Championships
held at East Stroudsburg State
College on April 14 and 15.
The debaters, Richard Thompson, Mary Lou Wennrich, Fred
Lingle and Bonnie McKernan
won 3 out of the 8 debates.
The topic of the tournament
was resolved: That the United
States should substantially reduce its foreign policy commitment. Bloomsburg State College
won the tournament.
The team of Richard Thompson and Mary Lou Wennrich
defeated only East Stroudsburg
and lost the other 3 of the 4
rounds of debate.
Plans for Razing Sullivan
Are Currently in Progress
According to Donald C. Stevenson, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, plans are in
progress for the demolition of
Sullivan Hall and relocation of
Natl Magazine Cites Hurwitz
Mr. Monroe Hurwitz, a famihar figure to most students
at LHSC, has received recognition in a magazine that is distributed to college bookstores
throughout the nation. "College
Store News" in its March, 1967
issue presented an article on Mr.
Hurwitz entitled "People You
Should Know". The article not
only presented pertinent facts
about Mr. Hurwitz, but also
about Lock Haven State because of Mr. Hurwitz's intimate
involvement with the school.
"Yes, 1 definitely like myjob,"
said Mr. Hurwitz who is General Manager of the college bookstore and financial budget advisor to the SCC. "It's a job you
have to stay young in simply
because you are dealing with
young people. It is fascinating
seeing new freshmen come in
each year and watching them
grow up and accept responsibility. This is particularly true in
working with the SCC. Accepting the responsibility of student
government develops the student
into mature young men and
women."
Mr. Hurwitz stated also that
the SCC is one of the strongest
student governments he has seen
on any campus. Mr. Hurwitz
strengthened this belief by citing as an example the current
budget meetings being held by the
SCC. He accumulates facts and
figures from the various campus
organizations requesting funds
for the year. Mr. Hurwitz then
meets with the SCC executive
board and the board with his
assistance sets up the budgets.
Students in this manner are
aware of exactly what is needed to run college facilities and
where their money is being spent.
Fred Lingle and Bonnie McKernan composed Lock Haven's other debate team which
won 2 debates and lost 2. They
defeated Clarion State, last
year's debate champion. Richard Thompson entered the Origineil Oratory Contest and tried
for 4th place. Bonnie McKernan tried for 7th place hi speaker points.
Lock Haven received an honor
at the tournament when Mr.
Charlie Bromberg, the debate
coach, was elected President of
the State College Debate Conference newly formed.
The Debate Union elected new
offices at the meeting on April
20.
Mr. Hurwitz added that the
new student union already nicknamed "Dickie's DenorthePUB
(for Parsons' Union Building)",
will entail amonst 3/4's of a
million dollars. It will house
the bookstore, the union, and
offices of campus organizations.
The question heard across
campus this past weekend was
"why do we have to pay activity fees and still pay for tickets to see The Association?" Mr.
Hurwitz replied, "It's simple.
The $25 you pay each semester
is distributed to some 40 differ'ent funds in a budgeting session.
If students want big-name entertainment, it costs $3,000 or
more. We do not have enough
students to afford this and stUl
take care of the other things.

the Student Union and offices
in Sullivan.
Mr. Stevenson explained that
the plans for the new Ubrary,
which will be located at the present site of Sullivan, are now
in the hands of the Department
of Property and Supplies. The
General State Authority will amend any corrections found by
the Department, then bids can
be let. If all goes well, the bids
will be let in early June, and the
demolition of Sullivan will follow Immediately.
The problem of the relocation
of the Student Union and the
offices in Sullivan presents itseff
J immediately. Mr. Stevenson stalled that there are no definite plans
as yet, but a committee consisting of President Parsons, Dean
I Robinson, Mr. McClosky, Mr.
Young, and Mr. Stevenson are
presently considering various
sites for the offiCes. There is a
possibility that they will be relocated in three houses along
North Fairview Street. The Student Union will be located in
either one of the empty room off
Bentley Hall lounge or a room
under Smith Hall.
IKE, ZK Booths
High-Lights Of
Spring Weekend
Although the present line-up
in the United States Senate stands
at 64 Democrats and 36 Republicans, professionals in both
parties axe predicting drastic
changes in the line-up of the
91st Congress.
At stake in the next election
are Senate seats which are presently manned by 23 Democrats
and 11 Republicans. The close
Presidential election that is foreseen by many would be certain
to aid the GOP in gaining seats
in the Senate.
Adding to the Democratic woes
is the fact that not a few of those
Senators in the Democratic ranks
up for re-election face various
difficulties in their own states.
Probably the two best known
of these are Carl Hayden of
Arizona, a man who has seen
more than 90 years and faces
the challenge of ex-senator Barry Goldwater, and Wayne Morse
of Oregon, one of the chief Senate "doves" on the Viet-Nam
issue.
Near the top of nearly every
list of vulnerable Senators is
Pennsylvania's Joseph S. Clark.
Joe Clark has represented Peimsylvania since 1956.
Senator Clark was a onetime
Republican who led the Democratic reform movement in Philadelphia hi the 1950'8. After
having l>een elected mayor of
Philadelphia, he proved to be
a giant killer for the Democrats
by defeating the then Republican
Governor, James Nuff.
In 1962, despite Bill Scranton's landslide victory, Clark
was able to handily defeat his
GOP opponent, James Van
Zandt. Next year, things may
be different for the Democratic
Senator.
His first challenge will come,
no doubt, from his own party
in the Democratic primary. In
1964, Senator Clark incurred
the wrath of Michael Musmanno,
the Democratic organization
candidate for the Senate seat
^ivhen
ike
ia^i-
Medi
it i time
l A M O N D
for
R I N G
held by Hugh Scott (R) by supporting Genevieve Blatt. Miss
Blatt won the primary, but lost
to Scott in the general election
by a very small margin.
Musmanno, a Pennsylvania
Supreme Court Justice, is already acting like a candidate for
Clark's seat. In recent months,
he has issued numerous attacks
on Clark. His criticisms have
been both personal and on
issues. For example, Musmarmo
has criticized Clark's stand on
civil rights, even though Clark
has been one of the leaders in
the civil right movement. Fiurthermore, Musmanno has charged that Clark is a social bigot.
If the Senator is successful in
warding off the Musmanno challenge, he will still face a stiff
GOP challenge in the general
election. At present, the leading
candidate for the GOP nomination appears to be U.S. Representative Richard Schweikerof
Montgomery county.
Although Schweiker is a young
and promising "liked" Republican, he is not the favorite of
the Republican party. Should
the Congressman face a difficult primary challange which
will split the party, GOP leaders
would almost surely ask both
candidates to step aside in favor
of a compromise candidate.
This would surely lead to a
draft movement for the favorite
Republican candidate, ex-Governor WlUiam Scranton. Although Scranton has said he
will never run for elective office,
some party leaders believe that
he would respond to a draft
movement to save a serious split
in the Permsylvania GOP.
In any event, Pennsylvania
Senator Joseph Clark is one of
the Senators up for re-election
in 1968 who is extremely vulnerable. Not only would the Senator have difficulty in the Democratic primary with the Supreme
Court Justice, but if he does win
the primary, he also faces a very
formidable opponent in the general election in either the popular
ex-Governor or the young Congressman.
After a big campus dance
where the dates were arranged
by a computer, I asked a friend
what it was like. "It's a frightening experience," she answered,
"finding out just what you deserve."
Mike Macko prepares
for his big splash during Spring Weekend's
carnival.
Early Saturday e v e n i n g ,
Thomas Field House was magically transformed into a carnival midway for the second evening of Spring Weekend.
The highlight of the evening
was the booth contributed by the
brothers of Tau Kappa Epsilon,
which consisted of one large tub
of muddy water, and a few hapless brothers and pledges. The
above ingredients plus one bull's
eye equalled one large splash
and several very wet TKE's.
Strangely enough, the boys were
good sports and showed true
school spirit.
The sisters of Sigma Kappa
provided another favorite of the
evening - the sex appeal test.
This consisted of questionnaires
which were filled out, and after
the ponderance of several "experts" in the field, the questions
were returned with a rating from
"just great" to "forget it".
Other booths consisted of turtle
races, black jack, and various
marksmanship events.
Perhaps the most entertaining
event of the evening, however,
was provided by our two famous
wrestlers, Trent (go-go) Smith
and Bob (crazy knees) McDermott. CongratTilations fellas your dance duo was real entertainment.
To facilitate housing arrangements at the University of Colorado, students are urged to state
their rooming preferences for the

these cards, it was discovered, a

please."

Lambda Chi Alpha
—By Brother George Jones
The past few weeks have seen
Lambda Chis working industriously for the good of the college and the fraternity. Recently,
Lambda Chis aided Mr. Foster,
Mr. Johnson and Mr. Zimmerman in spring cleaning.
Lambda Chi put out its first
newsletter under the leadership
of brother Ed Hazlett and plans
another soon. This is a continuation of an effort to reach alumni
and parents of active brothers.
Elections were held on April 3.
Gary Seibert was elected president, Dave Distler vice president, Jim Beck, secretary,
"Globie" Miller treasurer, and
George Jones rush chairman.
These elections inspire new enthusiasm.
Lambda Chi is sponsoring
the first annual Greek Olympic
and judging from student acceptance it will be a success. Events
such as an orange relay race in
which an orange is carried under
the neck without the use of hands
and a homemade chariot race
are featured.
The brothers also took time
to plan a spring weekend house
party. The theme is appropriately spring.
Brothers Beck, Kaufman and
Seibert were especially active.
They were pinned to Idana Padjen, Judy Abrams and Toby Snider, respectively.
Lambda Chi also has a quarantined brother, Pat O'Connor.
It is feared Pat will miss the
spring weekend festivities with
a very severe case of poison
ivy. Alas and alack!
Congratulations are in store
for several sisters who have recently been pinned: Lynn Krebs
to Steve Rooney; Linda Viard
to Corky Dalton; Pat (Jeesey to
Dave Kochick; and Toby Snider to Gary Seibert. Special congratulations to Nito Francine,
who was recently engaged to
Skip FenneU.

Actress Frances Peter
To Appear in LHS Comedy
Frances Peter, professional
actress from New York is now
working with the College Players in their soon-to-be-seen production. Miss Peter will star as
Sister Joanna of the Cross in the
two-act comedy "Cradle Song".
Miss Peter first became interested in drama in high school,
when she spent several summer
vacations working as a n apprentice at The Coach House,
a summer theatre near her home
in Milwaukee.
She later trained at the University of Chicago and The Goodman Theatre, Chicago. There
she studied under Dr. Morris
Gnesin, David Atkin and Mary
Agnes Doyle.
Because she is only five feet
tall, the roles given Miss Peter
in the earlier part of her career
were primarily those of children and ingenues. Eventually,
she won character parts, which
she really enjoys.
Miss Peter's wide experience in
the various fields of drama include off-Broadway productions, summer stock, radio, television, television commercials,
and roads, hotel and school
tours.
A few of her acting experiences include tours with "Victoria Regina", in which she starred as Victoria, and her role as
Ophelia in scenes from "Hamlet". She also toured with "Oliver" a n d "Made in Heaven".

to what his age and marital status was, "Yes, I have both age
and marital status."
Since they signify youth and
freedom, they introduced themselves by singing "Enter, the
Young." "Standing Still" and
"Changes" (or the "Story of the
Diaper") written and sung by the
"beautiful bod" Ted Bleuchel
carried on the youth theme. The
song "I'll Be Your Man" was
enough to melt virtually every
female heart.
Gary Alexander, "Young Dr.
Zorba", sang "Remember".
They also sang their first hit
"Along Comes Mary" now on
their first album "and then . . .
along comes The Association."
They followed these soul-moving
songs by their recent hit " N o
Fair At AIL"
They sang some real movers
from their current album, "Renaissance."
The wit of youth and political
satire prevailed in their comedy
skit on a take-off on the Philly
disc jockey, Jerry Blavett. Amazing, what the mobile units in Vietnam are doing. We've got our
own "little war of the smog" right
here in L. A.
All this entertainment provided
the background of expectation
for their climatic hit "Cherish".

from p g . 1
This past week-end proved that
the students do want big-name
entertainment. As we grow larger, we'll be able to afford this
entertainment. As it was, the price
for Spring weekend was kept as
low as possible, ff someone can
suggest a better system, stop in.
We're always open to suggestions.
"Most of our problems are
caused by lack of communication. I work for the student. My
office door is never closed and if
anyone ever has any questions
and I can possibly answer them,
I'll be glad to do so. That's the
primary reason I'm here."
Faculty Portrait:
Harry I. Miller
Political science can be interesting and fun, for anyone who
has h a d the opportunity to be
in one of Professor Harry I.
Miller's classes knows it.
Mr. Miller, a political science
instructor in LHSC's foreign affairs department, came to this
campus in September of 1965
with a varied background.
During World War II heworkwith the United States govern-
ment in what he terms the interesting field of Army Intelligence.
He has since obtained his M. A.
from the University of Virginia
in 1963 and is currently workhig on his Ph. D. at West Virginia University.
Mr. Miller, his wife, who is a
sociology instructor at Lock Haven State, and their three chilAns. to P u z z l e
dren reside in the lower part of
Lockport.
H i s interests range from
sports—he organized and instructs the LHSC judo team—to
politics to collecting antique cars.
He spends his free time studying
for his doctorate degree.
Although Mr. Miller likes Lock
Haven, its faculty, and its students, he has one jiet peeve about
this campus. His major gripe on
the Lock Haven State campus
is " a n apathetic student".
Yet, the most important feature about Mr. Harry Miller are
his classes in political science,
political parties, poitical theory,
and government. They hold the
interest of his students.
Suffering through an impossible physics exam, a student at
a large university found drops
of sweat falling on his paper.
Hoping to demonstrate to the
professor the effort he had made,
he drew a circle around one of the
drops and labeled it "SWEAT"
The paper was returned with the
expected " F " , but the professor
had encircled another droplet in
red a n d labeled it "TEARS"
Reader's Digest (July '66)
Lecturing to his psychology
class on perception, the professor was stressing that often one
had to reinterpret first impressions after further observation.
By way of simple illustration, he
said, "This morning I saw Mary
Kane coming down the hall. She
appeared to be wearing a plain
green dress, but as she got closer I noticed that it had SL. figure
in it."

wearers (unless they were exceptionally thin) look somewhat

In 1964 the waistlines took a
sudden drop in position and were
then located dfrectly across the
hips, with full skirts below them.
These were the dresses that
looked like they were fresh out
of Harper's Bazaar, 1920.
Soon after this, an English
designed waistline made a hit
o n the American market. This
creation was called the "hiphugger" and was supposed to
look very "sexy."
Then, of all things, hi 1966
the waistlines returned to the
waists, in the form of the shirtwaist with an A-line skirt. This
dress accented all measurements

Big Weekends
On SCCs Part
Do Not Mix
Let's face it. LHSCers, Spring
weekend '67 was not as well organized as it could have been.
This is not meant to be a cut
at anyone, but rather a constructive criticism but rather a help in
preparing the next big social function of LHSC—homecoming weekend '67.
WhUe we realize that LHSC suffers one tremendous disadvantage
—a great amount of work lor be
done and few workers to do it—
we also feel that more students can
be brought into the actual production of these activities.
One area which really crink in
the weekend affairs was the lack of
communication and publicity. How
many students really knew what to
expect of the carnival activities?
How many people even heard of
the dance on Friday night or the
movie, Marnie, on Sunday evening? And what about The Association concert? Posters should have
been spread from State College to
Williamsport. The facilities of The
Daily Collegian at Penn State, the
newspaper at Penn State, and the
Bell of Lycoming College.
For the Bucknell concert by The
Four Tops a few weeks ago, an
ad was placed in the Eagle Eye.
Yet the Social Committee of LHS
didn't even place an ad in their
own student newspaper.
In view of the fact that the "higher-ups" constantly clamor for student support, we suggest that next
time, they appoint a good publicity
chairman who could get word to
the students that a "happening" is
about to burst forth.
Ron Smith
Managing Editor
"Just about the biggest weekend
of the year, and we have classes."
"Whydidn't the administration dispense with our morning classes for
Spring Weekend?""The college tells
us students to provide their own
entertainment but won't even go
along with us when we do."
These are just a few of the complaints from students over the
classes held last Saturday morning
during Spring weekend activities.
True, nothing specific was scheduled for this day. But one reason,
one very important factor here, in
that were anything planned, it
would probably have been "canned" bepause it conflicted with the
class schedule.
Many students cut classes last
Saturday in order to prepare for
the other activities. This could have
been avoided if the college administrators had issued a dispensation of
classes for the 4 morning periods.
While we recognize that classes
should be given a higher consideration over parties and games in the
minds of students, we also realize
that, as students, we are under pressures which can be overcome only
by a temporary removal of the
academic environment. We feel that,
WhUe Saturday morning classes
serve their purpose, "something
special," like spring weekend,
shovild be given the preference.
It's too late to do anything now,
but let's keep these things fresh in
)ur minds for next fall's homecoming events. Here's hoping that this
year's drawbacks in the social activity of the semester will not be
next year's.

Debaters Making Progress
Though Lacking Proper Funds
The 1966-1967 LHSC Debate
Union is a first-year organization
and has had remarkable success.
Although the LHS debators were
a rather impecunious party, (they
operated on a meager, niggardly
budget of 500 dollars), they have
made some celebious achievements.
In their first encounter in a tournament at Temple University, they
finished with a 2-6 slate, which is
quite respectable for a novice team.
They met such teams as Temple
and Farleigh-Dickinson; both of
these well-established teams are
considered to be two of the best
in the country.
At the Mount Mercy debate, the
LHSC neophytes won three and
were defeated six times. Some of
these debates were close and could
have gone either way; however,
such teams as Pitt and Duquesne
came out the victors.
Two very outstanding accomplishments which are almost unique
were made by two of the LHS debators, Bonnie McKernan and
Fred Lingle. Mr. Lingle was elected Majority Committee Chairman
of the Model Congress, which was
recendy in session at Perm State.
This is a highly commendable honor, especially for a first-year debator.
Miss McKernan won second
place in the Gavel Girl debate; this
was the first debate she had ever
entered, and she competed against
debators who were old pros in the
forensics field.
The most remarkable thing in
the opinion of the Eagle Eye is
that all of these laudable accomplishments were done with a pecimiary endowment of only 500
dollars. Other teams such as East
Stroudsburg, whose debators are
operating on a $3200 dollar
budget, and Clarion who has
an allocation of approximately
$4000, are obviously much better
prepared to debate than are (he
LHS debators.
Another of the LHS novice debators' successes was the Pennsylvania State College Debate Championship, where the LHS debators
defeated Clarion, who were last
year's champion, and Bloomsburg
State, this year's forensics king.
Letters To The Editor
Dear Editor:
I'd like to impart a word of encouragement to those female students who have
indicated they want to live in North Hall
next year. I'm from North Hall myself, and
when I moved up, I was ecstatic because I
wouldn't have to climb any more stairs.
You see, I had developed leg muscles unfeminine for a girl from the stairs in Russell
and Woolridge Halls. An elevator at last.
Things are different now, with the elevator
up here. Now I can match leg muscles with
any track star on campus. It seems the elevator doesn't function according to plan, and
one might have from 16 to 32 more steps to
climb than in the other dorms. For example,
one day it broke down 3 times. It also has a
habit of failing right after a big weekend. It
broke down the Monday after Greek and
Spring weekends. This is not to mention the
times the elevator doesn't work for days at a
time. And, lest one forget, there are
days when it only gives up for a few hours.
Ah, the good days.
Yes, girls, you're in for a fun time, especially if you live on the 5th floor. The remarkable elevator has got to be the most undependable machiite on earth. That means
you are destined to be dependably trudging
up flight after flight of winding cement steps
to drop breathless and exhausted In front of
your door. I wish you luck.

Letters To The Editor
Dear Editor,
What is our major maladjustment? Why
should we, as students and after paying our
activity fee, be subjected to such a gruelling
event as The Association concert presented
last Sunday?
As if it weren't degraduig enough to have
a college event held in a high school gym,
we had to be doubly embarrassed by the
poor acoustics in the gym. How do you
imagine a group of the caliber of The Association felt as they gazed about them and
saw what was provided for a $3,000concert?
Disgusting, isn't it, when you stop to think
about it? Their attitude is probably one of
"Well, if they don't care, why should we?"
Do you Imagine they would want to put on
a good show? They'll get their money, no
matter what.
I personally feel that the show that was
presented wasn't very good. The New Society's show was much better. Why? Because
of the audience response. How can an audience respond to something they cannot understand? The muffled sounds coming from those
microphones Sunday could hardly be called
"speech.'.' Three fourths of the groups "forced
humor" was lost to the audience because
they could not understand what was being
said.
Was it completely impossible to have 2
concerts held in Price Auditorium? While
the acoustics still might not be the best there,
yoiu: back wouldn't be jjermanently bent
from sitting on those bleachers.
A Shident
Dear Editor,
As a student at this famous establishment,
I would like to voice a complaint about the
half-hearted preparation for Spring weekend.
How often will we be embarassed before
something is done about activities? Spring
weekend is supposed to be THE major social function of the second semester. Yet
Friday night, the students were subjected to
the melodious (?) attempts of a group that
sounded slightly tone deaf and why—Simply because no one cared enough to secure a
"better" band.
Don't misunderstand. There is no "probe"
meant to the "Coachmen". They're a newly
formed, young group, and in view of these
facts are relatively good. However, Spring
weekend rated an experienced band, not beginners!
Secondly, what decent band would want
to play in the surroundings we offer for a
dance!
Sincerely yours,
A Thwarted Student

FINAL - Lock Haven 5
Mansfield 4
I traveled to East Stroudsburg
State this past weekend. Notable
sports news is that Jan Dutt, the
man Shane Foley pinned in the
State College Championship Finals, has broken his leg while
broad-jumping and that their
tennis team has just completed a
tour of North Carolina colleges
winning 4 and losing 2 ". . .
The record of the LHSC tennis team now stands at 1-1.
After an opening loss to strong
Lycoming team, they defeated
Mansfield State . . .
The early season records of
both the Pittsburgh Pirates and
the Philadelphia Phils had better
be good if either team wants to
win a pennant. In the first few
weeks of the season, both teams
find their schedules loaded with
games against the Mets and the
Cubs, the 9th and 10th place
finishers of last year.
Considering the talent of these
two Pennsylvania teams, it seems
very likely that Pittsburgh could
produce the batting champion
in Roberto Clemente. Philadelphia could produce the home
run and RBI champion in Richie
Allen . . .
The tennis team traveled to St.
Francis this past Wednesday and
has its next home match tomorrow against Indiana University
at 1:30 pm on the college
courts . . .
We are still accepting enhies
for the Baseball Prognostication Contest. The winner will re-
ceive a small prize and recognition as LHSC's number one
prognosticator . . .
Scanning the results of Baltimores first few games, I believe that the experts who picked
Baltimore to win may be justified. Yet the season is 162 games
long and Baltimore's pitching
staff is far from being the deepest in the majors . . .
Pete Roselle, the commissioner of the NFL - AFL has tried
to justify the merger by stating
that the collapse of one of the 2
leagues was imminent before
the merger. This writer wonders
if Mr. Roselle checked the attendance and television contracts before the AFL - N F L
merger. Both were producing
trememdous revenue for both
leagues.
I was amused by the letter
written to my colleague, Steve
Miller, a few weeks ago by Ray
Huff. I guess his 4-hit victory
over Bloomsburg shows that he
plays as well he knows the game.
After the Supreme Court turned
down his plea, it looks like Muhammed All (Cassius Clay) will
finally become inducted into the
service. He is scheduled to report
on April 28. However, he claims
that he will go to jaU instead of
fighting, if the choice arises.
Our track team set 3 more
records in its victory over MUlersville. Leading the LHSC
team once again was Wayne
Randolph.
STUDENT I N THE SPOTLIGHT
Fred
Brungard
By Ann Delycure
I traveled to the darkest wUds
of the student union to meet with
Fred Brungard, the bearded emcee of the campus talk program.
College Diary. We fought our
way through the winged natives
to a safe recluse where Fred gave
me the info on his new project.
"The idea behind College Diary is to address both the students on campus and the public".
The program is broadcast on
WBPZ as a part of the Public
Service to the college. UsuaUy
the show is aired at 9:05 each
Wednesday evening, but Fred
has been unfortunate enough to
discover that his show is occasionally pre-empted for basebaU
games and other such antics.
Fred feels that many people are
unaware of the existence of the
weekly show and therefore miss
some profitable interviews and
just some plain good happenings. For example last week,
campus folk singer, Pete Rinehuls was a guest and played
some 50 minutes of folk music.
The congenial Mr. Brungard
plans to Invite several jazz fans
on campus to conduct a show
on the history of jazz. Fred admits that "there are great possibilities for improvement" in the
format and concludes "I hope
to Improve in the future."
He stated several times that the
program is a fine and informative experience, and that he
especially eryoys meeting so
many different people.
It seems Fred meets many people in the course of every coUege
day. A Junior Liberal Arts student at the present time, Fred
hopes to pursue graduate work
in English or Chatechesis in several years. He is presently enrolled in the English curriculum
and is an enthusiast of'Vaughn
team". Besides his scholarly pursuits Fred is engaged in a var-
Voice of Lock Haven State
iety of extra-curricular activities.
He is currenUy serving as VicePresident of College Players and
has been elected as Vice-President of English Club for the
coming year. Also an active
thespian, Fred has appeared in
several college productions such
as J.B., Bus Stop, and Hotel
Paradiso.
When I asked Fred what he
did to fUl his spare time, he
quickly replied that he works
part time in the Public Relations
Office at which time he co-ordinates the College Diary program.
Fred is an alumnus of Saint
Fidelis School outside of Pittsburgh and he now lives with his
parents in Clintondale where he
teaches religious instruction to
Catholic high school juniors.
When asked of his opinion of
Lock Haven State, Fred was weU
equipped with several opinions
and answers. He says he likes,
its smaUness, although he also
admits that one can find things
to criticize. Fred, himself, is in
disagreement with the double
standards in regard to regulations for the men and women
on the campus. He feels that
women should have hours abolished, to which this interviewer
happUy agrees. Abolishment of
hours for women would place
them in a position of responsibility which is not really unthinkable for mature college students.

Peace Corps Seeking Volunteers
For Program In Western Samoa
WASHINGTON, D. C . - T h e
Peace Corps today (April 17)
begins an urgent nationwide
campus recruiting drive to find
300 Volunteers to serve in health,
education and agriculture programs in the Polynesian nation
of Western Samoa, with a likely
need for up to 1,000 more Volunteers to meet anticipated requests from other Pacific territories.
Modeled on a similar program
in neighboring Micronesia-for
which 2,500 collegians volunteered last spring- the Western
Samoa project requires Volunteers with liberal arts backgrounds to conduct a health campaign to control parasites and
diseases which afflict most of the
islands' people.
The program also includes
Volunteer English teachers for
Samoan elementary and intermediate schools and some Volunteers to work in agricultural
extension and with marketing cooperatives.
Training for the health and
agriculture projects begins this
summer and in the fall for the
teachers.
Applications and further information on the Western Samoa program are available
from the Peace Corps Liaison on
campus or by writing immediately to: Polynesia Desk, Peace

should be sent to the same address.
In its sixth year of independence. Western Samoa faces serious development problems
compounded by one of the fastest-growing populations in the
world. Its 134,000 people, living on the two largest of nine
islands, are expected to double
in 20 years.
Samoan officials have had little trouble in assigning priority
to concerns of health and education. Parasites sap an estimated
90 per cent of the people of their
energy to work and their resistance to more serious maladies such as tuberculosis, leprosy and yaws.

The teachers, who will train in
the fall and arrive in Samoa in
early 1968 for the beginning of
the school year, will instruct both
students and Samoan teachers
in English, which is the language
of instruction in the middle and
upper grades. They .will also aid
the health campaign by teaching
health and hygiene in school and
in the villages.
If the example set so far by Volunteers in Micronesia is an indication. Volunteers in Western Samoa will be drawn closely into
Polynesian village life and find
that their assigned jobs are but

Samoa—4,000 miles from California in the heart of Polynesia—
has just requested Peace Corps
Volunteers. A nation-wide recruiting effort which wUl focus
largely on college liberal arts
graduates will continue into
May. The first Volunteers will
begin working in the independent
South Pacific island nation in
October. Western Samoa has requested up to 150 Volunteers to
aid a major health program
aimed at diecking diseases and
parasites that affect almost all
of its 134,000 people. Another
150 teachers are scheduled to
arrive in early 1968 to instruct
elementary and intermediate students in English, health and hygiene. Public works and community development activities
are also planned. Training of the
health Volunteers begins this
summer.

As an insfructor in German, I
was accustomed to being addressed by my students as
Frau. After a season of teaching
swimming at a summer camp, I
returned to classes sporting a
deep-bronze tan. I paled perceptibly, however, when one of
my students greeted me blithely,
"How now, brown Frau]"

At the end of a college art
class, my young instructor was
returning a woman's skeleton,
used as an anatomical model, to
a storeroom. As he walked down
the hall, carefully holding"her",
he met a girl who fixed him and
the skeleton with a curious stare.
He shrugged apologetically.
"WeU," he said, "you know how
it is with these blind dates."

Editor's note:
The following Information was
submitted by a member of the
teaching staff concerning the
pressing need for driver safety Instructors. Because of the Job opportunities which will be developing In the fleld, we think tills
article will be of Interest and
thank Professor Schrot for submitting It.
Since the passage of the Federal Highway Safety Act, in
which federal funds wUl be withheld to states unless adequate
safety programs are in force,
most states, including our own,
are vigorously promoting Safety Education.
Mr. Ivan J. Stehman, Coordinator of Highway Safety Edu-
StOtO
cation, Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, has asked all school administrators in the Commonweeilth to have adequate driver
and safety education programs
avaUable to all students. This
means many teachers wUl be
needed in our state. Many teachers wUl also be needed in other
states. I have had numerous inqufries about the avaUabillty of
Driver Education teachers from
our State Department as weU as
from other states.
Although more than half of the
secondary schools In the nation
now offer Driver Education, fewer than half of our nation's stu-

dents have an opportunity to
schedule it. According to the Federal Act, this wUl need to be remedied before December, 1968.
Organizations and educators are
now actively trying to encourage
potential teachers to get their
twelve hours in this field and become certified.
Dr. Rackley, Superintendent of
Public Instruction, recenUy said,
"Driver Education Is one of the
important subjects in the public
schools". For years, research
has shown this to be a true statement. Those students who have
had an opportunity to study
Driver Education in Pennsylvania have had a fifth as many
violations and a third as many
accidental deaths as those less
fortunate who had no opportunity to study Driver Education.
And what is more import ant than
learning how to stay alive? It
is a national tragedy that we
permit over 50,000 of our citizens to be killed annually in
traffic.
To promote Safety Education,
the American Automobile Association wUl again provide, free
of charge, complete sets of Driver
Education material for those students enrolling in summer
courses.
From June 5 to July 14, Driver Education wUl be offered
during the second period here at
Lock Haven State College. General Safety Education wUl be offered the third period. With two
more elective courses and a
teacher's certificate, a student
would be qualified to teach Driver Education in any state.
At Lock Haven, over the past
several years, many positions in
Safety Education have been unfilled because certified teachers
were not avaUable. Now with the
Federal Government requiring
that aU states have Driver Education in their schools, job opportunities in the field and salaries wUl be at an all time high
for years to come.

What was it? An epidemic of
beriberi? Was the campus on
fire? Was Charles Atlas showing
how he got "that way?"' Why
were most of LHSC's students
out in their finery on Sunday afternoon, walking to Lock Haven
High's gym? Could it have been
an apathy rally? A meeting of
some sort of an . . . Association?
Perhaps some would consider
the group weird. Maybe that's
because they are. They're all
individuals and pride themselves on this trait. They even
dress differently to maintain this
individuality.
Some of their non-conformity
could perhaps be that Ted
Bleuchel reminds himself not to
be vain by placing "a mirror so
high above his apartment floor
that he can't see himself." Gary
Alexander doesn't smoke, drink
or eat meat. He "would like to
travel to India to study the mystic religious life there." Russ Giguere spends his time walking
The Association in Concert
around cities. "His favorite alltime job was running a merrygo-round because 'people bug
me and I could think'." Terry
Kirkman had enough credits for
2 degrees, but never got around
to graduating. In the process he
has mastered 23 different instruments. Brian Cole has held 3 3
jobs in one year and is quite a
philosopher. Jim Yester almost
became a certified public accountant.

the fact that they considered
themselves 6 vastly different people of different ideas. They don't

AX As Greek Olympics Lists
Chariot Race, Relays, Dance
The first annual Greek Olympics, sponsored by the Brothers
of Lambda Chi Alpha, will be
presented Sunday, April 23, at
the Soccer Field. The festivities
will begin with a dance in the
Old Cafeteria. It is hoped that
each organization that is represented will wear their Olympic
colors or coat of arms to the
dance so that they can be distinguished from one another.
On Sunday, a set of modified
Olympic games will be held adapted for men's and women's
divisions. Any organization in
addition to fraternities and sororities on campus is urged to
enter. Team points will be given
out and atrophy will be awarded
for first place.
Mrs. Brown
To Conduct
Workshop
Mrs. Beatrice Brown, advisor
to Praeco, will conduct a workshop for high school students
at the annual Press Conference
to be held at Lock Haven High
School on Friday, April 2 1 ,
1967. Following an address on
"The Topography of a Yearbook," Mrs. Brown will work
with students on layout, continuity, and copy techniques. Assisting her will be Sheila Bennetch, editor of the 1967 Praeco,
and Janet Shuey, next year's
editor.
One of the events will be a four
member team orange relay.
Each of the 4 contestants must
run 25 yards. The orange must
be carried under the neck; no
hands may be used. If the contestant drops the orange, he may
pick it up and return to the starting line to begin again. Each
exchange must be made without
the use of the hands.
Another event that should
prove interesting is the sweat
pants relay. It is a 4 man, 440
yard relay. Each man will run
110 yards and then exchange
sweatpants. There is a catch to
it, though, all you contestants
out there—you have to provide
your own sweatpants.
A chance for each team to display its ingenuity will be offered
with a chariot race. Each team
must make its own chariot. It
must have two wheels or more
and be pulled 440 yards. Each
chariot must have a member of
the team as a passenger.
Dave Distler, vice-president of
Lambda Chi Alpha, says that
he hopes that this could become
an annual event at Lock Haven.
He says that its main purpose
is to promote a feeling of unity
among the various organizations on campus.
Debaters Quell Champs
At College Tourney
Four members of Lock Haven's Debate Union attended the
State College Championships
held at East Stroudsburg State
College on April 14 and 15.
The debaters, Richard Thompson, Mary Lou Wennrich, Fred
Lingle and Bonnie McKernan
won 3 out of the 8 debates.
The topic of the tournament
was resolved: That the United
States should substantially reduce its foreign policy commitment. Bloomsburg State College
won the tournament.
The team of Richard Thompson and Mary Lou Wennrich
defeated only East Stroudsburg
and lost the other 3 of the 4
rounds of debate.

Natl Magazine Cites Hurwitz
Mr. Monroe Hurwitz, a famihar figure to most students
at LHSC, has received recognition in a magazine that is distributed to college bookstores
throughout the nation. "College
Store News" in its March, 1967
issue presented an article on Mr.
Hurwitz entitled "People You
Should Know". The article not
only presented pertinent facts
about Mr. Hurwitz, but also
about Lock Haven State because of Mr. Hurwitz's intimate
involvement with the school.
"Yes, 1 definitely like myjob,"
said Mr. Hurwitz who is General Manager of the college bookstore and financial budget advisor to the SCC. "It's a job you
have to stay young in simply
because you are dealing with
young people. It is fascinating
seeing new freshmen come in
each year and watching them
grow up and accept responsibility. This is particularly true in
working with the SCC. Accepting the responsibility of student
government develops the student
into mature young men and
women."
Mr. Hurwitz stated also that
the SCC is one of the strongest
student governments he has seen
on any campus. Mr. Hurwitz
strengthened this belief by citing as an example the current
budget meetings being held by the
SCC. He accumulates facts and
figures from the various campus
organizations requesting funds
for the year. Mr. Hurwitz then
meets with the SCC executive
board and the board with his
assistance sets up the budgets.
Students in this manner are
aware of exactly what is needed to run college facilities and
where their money is being spent.
Fred Lingle and Bonnie McKernan composed Lock Haven's other debate team which
won 2 debates and lost 2. They
defeated Clarion State, last
year's debate champion. Richard Thompson entered the Origineil Oratory Contest and tried
for 4th place. Bonnie McKernan tried for 7th place hi speaker points.
Lock Haven received an honor
at the tournament when Mr.
Charlie Bromberg, the debate
coach, was elected President of
the State College Debate Conference newly formed.
The Debate Union elected new
offices at the meeting on April
20.
Mr. Hurwitz added that the
new student union already nicknamed "Dickie's DenorthePUB
(for Parsons' Union Building)",
will entail amonst 3/4's of a
million dollars. It will house
the bookstore, the union, and
offices of campus organizations.
The question heard across
campus this past weekend was
"why do we have to pay activity fees and still pay for tickets to see The Association?" Mr.
Hurwitz replied, "It's simple.
The $25 you pay each semester
is distributed to some 40 differ'ent funds in a budgeting session.
If students want big-name entertainment, it costs $3,000 or
more. We do not have enough
students to afford this and stUl
take care of the other things.

the Student Union and offices
in Sullivan.
Mr. Stevenson explained that
the plans for the new Ubrary,
which will be located at the present site of Sullivan, are now
in the hands of the Department
of Property and Supplies. The
General State Authority will amend any corrections found by
the Department, then bids can
be let. If all goes well, the bids
will be let in early June, and the
demolition of Sullivan will follow Immediately.
The problem of the relocation
of the Student Union and the
offices in Sullivan presents itseff
J immediately. Mr. Stevenson stalled that there are no definite plans
as yet, but a committee consisting of President Parsons, Dean
I Robinson, Mr. McClosky, Mr.
Young, and Mr. Stevenson are
presently considering various
sites for the offiCes. There is a
possibility that they will be relocated in three houses along
North Fairview Street. The Student Union will be located in
either one of the empty room off
Bentley Hall lounge or a room
under Smith Hall.
IKE, ZK Booths
High-Lights Of
Spring Weekend
Although the present line-up
in the United States Senate stands
at 64 Democrats and 36 Republicans, professionals in both
parties axe predicting drastic
changes in the line-up of the
91st Congress.
At stake in the next election
are Senate seats which are presently manned by 23 Democrats
and 11 Republicans. The close
Presidential election that is foreseen by many would be certain
to aid the GOP in gaining seats
in the Senate.
Adding to the Democratic woes
is the fact that not a few of those
Senators in the Democratic ranks
up for re-election face various
difficulties in their own states.
Probably the two best known
of these are Carl Hayden of
Arizona, a man who has seen
more than 90 years and faces
the challenge of ex-senator Barry Goldwater, and Wayne Morse
of Oregon, one of the chief Senate "doves" on the Viet-Nam
issue.
Near the top of nearly every
list of vulnerable Senators is
Pennsylvania's Joseph S. Clark.
Joe Clark has represented Peimsylvania since 1956.
Senator Clark was a onetime
Republican who led the Democratic reform movement in Philadelphia hi the 1950'8. After
having l>een elected mayor of
Philadelphia, he proved to be
a giant killer for the Democrats
by defeating the then Republican
Governor, James Nuff.
In 1962, despite Bill Scranton's landslide victory, Clark
was able to handily defeat his
GOP opponent, James Van
Zandt. Next year, things may
be different for the Democratic
Senator.
His first challenge will come,
no doubt, from his own party
in the Democratic primary. In
1964, Senator Clark incurred
the wrath of Michael Musmanno,
the Democratic organization
candidate for the Senate seat
^ivhen
ike

Medi
it i time
l A M O N D
for
R I N G
held by Hugh Scott (R) by supporting Genevieve Blatt. Miss
Blatt won the primary, but lost
to Scott in the general election
by a very small margin.
Musmanno, a Pennsylvania
Supreme Court Justice, is already acting like a candidate for
Clark's seat. In recent months,
he has issued numerous attacks
on Clark. His criticisms have
been both personal and on
issues. For example, Musmarmo
has criticized Clark's stand on
civil rights, even though Clark
has been one of the leaders in
the civil right movement. Fiurthermore, Musmanno has charged that Clark is a social bigot.
If the Senator is successful in
warding off the Musmanno challenge, he will still face a stiff
GOP challenge in the general
election. At present, the leading
candidate for the GOP nomination appears to be U.S. Representative Richard Schweikerof
Montgomery county.
Although Schweiker is a young
and promising "liked" Republican, he is not the favorite of
the Republican party. Should
the Congressman face a difficult primary challange which
will split the party, GOP leaders
would almost surely ask both
candidates to step aside in favor
of a compromise candidate.
This would surely lead to a
draft movement for the favorite
Republican candidate, ex-Governor WlUiam Scranton. Although Scranton has said he
will never run for elective office,
some party leaders believe that
he would respond to a draft
movement to save a serious split
in the Permsylvania GOP.
In any event, Pennsylvania
Senator Joseph Clark is one of
the Senators up for re-election
in 1968 who is extremely vulnerable. Not only would the Senator have difficulty in the Democratic primary with the Supreme
Court Justice, but if he does win
the primary, he also faces a very
formidable opponent in the general election in either the popular
ex-Governor or the young Congressman.
After a big campus dance
where the dates were arranged
by a computer, I asked a friend
what it was like. "It's a frightening experience," she answered,
"finding out just what you deserve."
Mike Macko prepares
for his big splash during Spring Weekend's
carnival.
Early Saturday e v e n i n g ,
Thomas Field House was magically transformed into a carnival midway for the second evening of Spring Weekend.
The highlight of the evening
was the booth contributed by the
brothers of Tau Kappa Epsilon,
which consisted of one large tub
of muddy water, and a few hapless brothers and pledges. The
above ingredients plus one bull's
eye equalled one large splash
and several very wet TKE's.
Strangely enough, the boys were
good sports and showed true
school spirit.
The sisters of Sigma Kappa
provided another favorite of the
evening - the sex appeal test.
This consisted of questionnaires
which were filled out, and after
the ponderance of several "experts" in the field, the questions
were returned with a rating from
"just great" to "forget it".
Other booths consisted of turtle
races, black jack, and various
marksmanship events.
Perhaps the most entertaining
event of the evening, however,
was provided by our two famous
wrestlers, Trent (go-go) Smith
and Bob (crazy knees) McDermott. CongratTilations fellas your dance duo was real entertainment.

The past few weeks have seen
Lambda Chis working industriously for the good of the college and the fraternity. Recently,
Lambda Chis aided Mr. Foster,
Mr. Johnson and Mr. Zimmerman in spring cleaning.
Lambda Chi put out its first
newsletter under the leadership
of brother Ed Hazlett and plans
another soon. This is a continuation of an effort to reach alumni
and parents of active brothers.
Elections were held on April 3.
Gary Seibert was elected president, Dave Distler vice president, Jim Beck, secretary,
"Globie" Miller treasurer, and
George Jones rush chairman.
These elections inspire new enthusiasm.
Lambda Chi is sponsoring
the first annual Greek Olympic
and judging from student acceptance it will be a success. Events
such as an orange relay race in
which an orange is carried under
the neck without the use of hands
and a homemade chariot race
are featured.
The brothers also took time
to plan a spring weekend house
party. The theme is appropriately spring.
Brothers Beck, Kaufman and
Seibert were especially active.
They were pinned to Idana Padjen, Judy Abrams and Toby Snider, respectively.
Lambda Chi also has a quarantined brother, Pat O'Connor.
It is feared Pat will miss the
spring weekend festivities with
a very severe case of poison
ivy. Alas and alack!
Congratulations are in store
for several sisters who have recently been pinned: Lynn Krebs
to Steve Rooney; Linda Viard
to Corky Dalton; Pat (Jeesey to
Dave Kochick; and Toby Snider to Gary Seibert. Special congratulations to Nito Francine,
who was recently engaged to

Actress Frances Peter
To Appear in LHS Comedy
Frances Peter, professional
actress from New York is now
working with the College Players in their soon-to-be-seen production. Miss Peter will star as
Sister Joanna of the Cross in the
two-act comedy "Cradle Song".
Miss Peter first became interested in drama in high school,
when she spent several summer
vacations working as a n apprentice at The Coach House,
a summer theatre near her home
in Milwaukee.
She later trained at the University of Chicago and The Goodman Theatre, Chicago. There
she studied under Dr. Morris
Gnesin, David Atkin and Mary
Agnes Doyle.
Because she is only five feet
tall, the roles given Miss Peter
in the earlier part of her career
were primarily those of children and ingenues. Eventually,
she won character parts, which
she really enjoys.
Miss Peter's wide experience in
the various fields of drama include off-Broadway productions, summer stock, radio, television, television commercials,
and roads, hotel and school
tours.
A few of her acting experiences include tours with "Victoria Regina", in which she starred as Victoria, and her role as
Ophelia in scenes from "Hamlet". She also toured with "Oliver" a n d "Made in Heaven".

song "I'll Be Your Man" was
enough to melt virtually every

Gary Alexander, "Young Dr.

They also sang their first hit
"Along Comes Mary" now on
their first album "and then . . .

They followed these soul-moving
songs by their recent hit " N o

Faculty Portrait:
Harry I. Miller
Political science can be interesting and fun, for anyone who
has h a d the opportunity to be
in one of Professor Harry I.
Miller's classes knows it.
Mr. Miller, a political science
instructor in LHSC's foreign affairs department, came to this
campus in September of 1965
with a varied background.
During World War II heworkwith the United States govern-
ment in what he terms the interesting field of Army Intelligence.
He has since obtained his M. A.
from the University of Virginia
in 1963 and is currently workhig on his Ph. D. at West Virginia University.
Mr. Miller, his wife, who is a
sociology instructor at Lock Haven State, and their three chilAns. to P u z z l e
dren reside in the lower part of
Lockport.
H i s interests range from
sports—he organized and instructs the LHSC judo team—to
politics to collecting antique cars.
He spends his free time studying
for his doctorate degree.
Although Mr. Miller likes Lock
Haven, its faculty, and its students, he has one jiet peeve about
this campus. His major gripe on
the Lock Haven State campus
is " a n apathetic student".
Yet, the most important feature about Mr. Harry Miller are
his classes in political science,
political parties, poitical theory,
and government. They hold the
interest of his students.
Suffering through an impossible physics exam, a student at
a large university found drops
of sweat falling on his paper.
Hoping to demonstrate to the
professor the effort he had made,
he drew a circle around one of the
drops and labeled it "SWEAT"
The paper was returned with the
expected " F " , but the professor
had encircled another droplet in
red a n d labeled it "TEARS"
Reader's Digest (July '66)
Lecturing to his psychology
class on perception, the professor was stressing that often one
had to reinterpret first impressions after further observation.
By way of simple illustration, he
said, "This morning I saw Mary
Kane coming down the hall. She
appeared to be wearing a plain
green dress, but as she got closer I noticed that it had SL. figure
in it."

In 1964 the waistlines took a
sudden drop in position and were
then located dfrectly across the
hips, with full skirts below them.
These were the dresses that
looked like they were fresh out
of Harper's Bazaar, 1920.
Soon after this, an English
designed waistline made a hit
o n the American market. This
creation was called the "hiphugger" and was supposed to
look very "sexy."
Then, of all things, hi 1966
the waistlines returned to the
waists, in the form of the shirtwaist with an A-line skirt. This
dress accented all measurements

Saturday Classes,
Lack Of Publicity
Big Weekends
On SCCs Part
Do Not Mix
Let's face it. LHSCers, Spring
weekend '67 was not as well organized as it could have been.
This is not meant to be a cut
at anyone, but rather a constructive criticism but rather a help in
preparing the next big social function of LHSC—homecoming weekend '67.
WhUe we realize that LHSC suffers one tremendous disadvantage
—a great amount of work lor be
done and few workers to do it—
we also feel that more students can
be brought into the actual production of these activities.
One area which really crink in
the weekend affairs was the lack of
communication and publicity. How
many students really knew what to
expect of the carnival activities?
How many people even heard of
the dance on Friday night or the
movie, Marnie, on Sunday evening? And what about The Association concert? Posters should have
been spread from State College to
Williamsport. The facilities of The
Daily Collegian at Penn State, the
newspaper at Penn State, and the
Bell of Lycoming College.
For the Bucknell concert by The
Four Tops a few weeks ago, an
ad was placed in the Eagle Eye.
Yet the Social Committee of LHS
didn't even place an ad in their
own student newspaper.
In view of the fact that the "higher-ups" constantly clamor for student support, we suggest that next
time, they appoint a good publicity
chairman who could get word to
the students that a "happening" is
about to burst forth.

"Just about the biggest weekend
of the year, and we have classes."
"Whydidn't the administration dispense with our morning classes for
Spring Weekend?""The college tells
us students to provide their own
entertainment but won't even go
along with us when we do."
These are just a few of the complaints from students over the
classes held last Saturday morning
during Spring weekend activities.
True, nothing specific was scheduled for this day. But one reason,
one very important factor here, in
that were anything planned, it
would probably have been "canned" bepause it conflicted with the
class schedule.
Many students cut classes last
Saturday in order to prepare for
the other activities. This could have
been avoided if the college administrators had issued a dispensation of
classes for the 4 morning periods.
While we recognize that classes
should be given a higher consideration over parties and games in the
minds of students, we also realize
that, as students, we are under pressures which can be overcome only
by a temporary removal of the
academic environment. We feel that,
WhUe Saturday morning classes
serve their purpose, "something
special," like spring weekend,
shovild be given the preference.
It's too late to do anything now,
but let's keep these things fresh in
)ur minds for next fall's homecoming events. Here's hoping that this
year's drawbacks in the social activity of the semester will not be
next year's.

Debaters Making Progress
Though Lacking Proper Funds
The 1966-1967 LHSC Debate
Union is a first-year organization
and has had remarkable success.
Although the LHS debators were
a rather impecunious party, (they
operated on a meager, niggardly
budget of 500 dollars), they have
made some celebious achievements.
In their first encounter in a tournament at Temple University, they
finished with a 2-6 slate, which is
quite respectable for a novice team.
They met such teams as Temple
and Farleigh-Dickinson; both of
these well-established teams are
considered to be two of the best
in the country.
At the Mount Mercy debate, the
LHSC neophytes won three and
were defeated six times. Some of
these debates were close and could
have gone either way; however,
such teams as Pitt and Duquesne
came out the victors.
Two very outstanding accomplishments which are almost unique
were made by two of the LHS debators, Bonnie McKernan and
Fred Lingle. Mr. Lingle was elected Majority Committee Chairman
of the Model Congress, which was
recendy in session at Perm State.
This is a highly commendable honor, especially for a first-year debator.
Miss McKernan won second
place in the Gavel Girl debate; this
was the first debate she had ever
entered, and she competed against
debators who were old pros in the
forensics field.
The most remarkable thing in
the opinion of the Eagle Eye is
that all of these laudable accomplishments were done with a pecimiary endowment of only 500
dollars. Other teams such as East
Stroudsburg, whose debators are
operating on a $3200 dollar
budget, and Clarion who has
an allocation of approximately
$4000, are obviously much better
prepared to debate than are (he
LHS debators.
Another of the LHS novice debators' successes was the Pennsylvania State College Debate Championship, where the LHS debators
defeated Clarion, who were last
year's champion, and Bloomsburg
State, this year's forensics king.
Letters To The Editor
Dear Editor:
I'd like to impart a word of encouragement to those female students who have
indicated they want to live in North Hall
next year. I'm from North Hall myself, and
when I moved up, I was ecstatic because I
wouldn't have to climb any more stairs.
You see, I had developed leg muscles unfeminine for a girl from the stairs in Russell
and Woolridge Halls. An elevator at last.
Things are different now, with the elevator
up here. Now I can match leg muscles with
any track star on campus. It seems the elevator doesn't function according to plan, and
one might have from 16 to 32 more steps to
climb than in the other dorms. For example,
one day it broke down 3 times. It also has a
habit of failing right after a big weekend. It
broke down the Monday after Greek and
Spring weekends. This is not to mention the
times the elevator doesn't work for days at a
time. And, lest one forget, there are
days when it only gives up for a few hours.
Ah, the good days.
Yes, girls, you're in for a fun time, especially if you live on the 5th floor. The remarkable elevator has got to be the most undependable machiite on earth. That means
you are destined to be dependably trudging
up flight after flight of winding cement steps
to drop breathless and exhausted In front of
your door. I wish you luck.

any articles or contributed to the paper in some way is

Letters To The Editor
Dear Editor,
What is our major maladjustment? Why
should we, as students and after paying our
activity fee, be subjected to such a gruelling
event as The Association concert presented
last Sunday?
As if it weren't degraduig enough to have
a college event held in a high school gym,
we had to be doubly embarrassed by the
poor acoustics in the gym. How do you
imagine a group of the caliber of The Association felt as they gazed about them and
saw what was provided for a $3,000concert?
Disgusting, isn't it, when you stop to think
about it? Their attitude is probably one of
"Well, if they don't care, why should we?"
Do you Imagine they would want to put on
a good show? They'll get their money, no
matter what.
I personally feel that the show that was
presented wasn't very good. The New Society's show was much better. Why? Because
of the audience response. How can an audience respond to something they cannot understand? The muffled sounds coming from those
microphones Sunday could hardly be called
"speech.'.' Three fourths of the groups "forced
humor" was lost to the audience because
they could not understand what was being
said.
Was it completely impossible to have 2
concerts held in Price Auditorium? While
the acoustics still might not be the best there,
yoiu: back wouldn't be jjermanently bent
from sitting on those bleachers.
A Shident
Dear Editor,
As a student at this famous establishment,
I would like to voice a complaint about the
half-hearted preparation for Spring weekend.
How often will we be embarassed before
something is done about activities? Spring
weekend is supposed to be THE major social function of the second semester. Yet
Friday night, the students were subjected to
the melodious (?) attempts of a group that
sounded slightly tone deaf and why—Simply because no one cared enough to secure a
"better" band.
Don't misunderstand. There is no "probe"
meant to the "Coachmen". They're a newly
formed, young group, and in view of these
facts are relatively good. However, Spring
weekend rated an experienced band, not beginners!
Secondly, what decent band would want
to play in the surroundings we offer for a
dance!
Sincerely yours,
A Thwarted Student

FINAL - Lock Haven 5
Mansfield 4
I traveled to East Stroudsburg
State this past weekend. Notable
sports news is that Jan Dutt, the
man Shane Foley pinned in the
State College Championship Finals, has broken his leg while
broad-jumping and that their
tennis team has just completed a
tour of North Carolina colleges
winning 4 and losing 2 ". . .
The record of the LHSC tennis team now stands at 1-1.
After an opening loss to strong
Lycoming team, they defeated
Mansfield State . . .
The early season records of
both the Pittsburgh Pirates and
the Philadelphia Phils had better
be good if either team wants to
win a pennant. In the first few
weeks of the season, both teams
find their schedules loaded with
games against the Mets and the
Cubs, the 9th and 10th place
finishers of last year.
Considering the talent of these
two Pennsylvania teams, it seems
very likely that Pittsburgh could
produce the batting champion
in Roberto Clemente. Philadelphia could produce the home
run and RBI champion in Richie
Allen . . .
The tennis team traveled to St.
Francis this past Wednesday and
has its next home match tomorrow against Indiana University
at 1:30 pm on the college
courts . . .
We are still accepting enhies
for the Baseball Prognostication Contest. The winner will re-
ceive a small prize and recognition as LHSC's number one
prognosticator . . .
Scanning the results of Baltimores first few games, I believe that the experts who picked
Baltimore to win may be justified. Yet the season is 162 games
long and Baltimore's pitching
staff is far from being the deepest in the majors . . .
Pete Roselle, the commissioner of the NFL - AFL has tried
to justify the merger by stating
that the collapse of one of the 2
leagues was imminent before
the merger. This writer wonders
if Mr. Roselle checked the attendance and television contracts before the AFL - N F L
merger. Both were producing
trememdous revenue for both
leagues.
I was amused by the letter
written to my colleague, Steve
Miller, a few weeks ago by Ray
Huff. I guess his 4-hit victory
over Bloomsburg shows that he
plays as well he knows the game.
After the Supreme Court turned
down his plea, it looks like Muhammed All (Cassius Clay) will
finally become inducted into the
service. He is scheduled to report
on April 28. However, he claims
that he will go to jaU instead of
fighting, if the choice arises.
Our track team set 3 more
records in its victory over MUlersville. Leading the LHSC
team once again was Wayne
Randolph.
STUDENT I N THE SPOTLIGHT
Fred
Brungard
By Ann Delycure
I traveled to the darkest wUds
of the student union to meet with
Fred Brungard, the bearded emcee of the campus talk program.
College Diary. We fought our
way through the winged natives
to a safe recluse where Fred gave
me the info on his new project.
"The idea behind College Diary is to address both the students on campus and the public".
The program is broadcast on
WBPZ as a part of the Public
Service to the college. UsuaUy
the show is aired at 9:05 each
Wednesday evening, but Fred
has been unfortunate enough to
discover that his show is occasionally pre-empted for basebaU
games and other such antics.
Fred feels that many people are
unaware of the existence of the
weekly show and therefore miss
some profitable interviews and
just some plain good happenings. For example last week,
campus folk singer, Pete Rinehuls was a guest and played
some 50 minutes of folk music.
The congenial Mr. Brungard
plans to Invite several jazz fans
on campus to conduct a show
on the history of jazz. Fred admits that "there are great possibilities for improvement" in the
format and concludes "I hope
to Improve in the future."
He stated several times that the
program is a fine and informative experience, and that he
especially eryoys meeting so
many different people.
It seems Fred meets many people in the course of every coUege
day. A Junior Liberal Arts student at the present time, Fred
hopes to pursue graduate work
in English or Chatechesis in several years. He is presently enrolled in the English curriculum
and is an enthusiast of'Vaughn
team". Besides his scholarly pursuits Fred is engaged in a var-
Voice of Lock Haven State
iety of extra-curricular activities.
He is currenUy serving as VicePresident of College Players and
has been elected as Vice-President of English Club for the
coming year. Also an active
thespian, Fred has appeared in
several college productions such
as J.B., Bus Stop, and Hotel
Paradiso.
When I asked Fred what he
did to fUl his spare time, he
quickly replied that he works
part time in the Public Relations
Office at which time he co-ordinates the College Diary program.
Fred is an alumnus of Saint
Fidelis School outside of Pittsburgh and he now lives with his
parents in Clintondale where he
teaches religious instruction to
Catholic high school juniors.
When asked of his opinion of
Lock Haven State, Fred was weU
equipped with several opinions
and answers. He says he likes,
its smaUness, although he also
admits that one can find things
to criticize. Fred, himself, is in
disagreement with the double
standards in regard to regulations for the men and women
on the campus. He feels that
women should have hours abolished, to which this interviewer
happUy agrees. Abolishment of
hours for women would place
them in a position of responsibility which is not really unthinkable for mature college students.

Peace Corps Seeking Volunteers
For Program In Western Samoa
WASHINGTON, D. C . - T h e
Peace Corps today (April 17)
begins an urgent nationwide
campus recruiting drive to find
300 Volunteers to serve in health,
education and agriculture programs in the Polynesian nation
of Western Samoa, with a likely
need for up to 1,000 more Volunteers to meet anticipated requests from other Pacific territories.
Modeled on a similar program
in neighboring Micronesia-for
which 2,500 collegians volunteered last spring- the Western
Samoa project requires Volunteers with liberal arts backgrounds to conduct a health campaign to control parasites and
diseases which afflict most of the
islands' people.
The program also includes
Volunteer English teachers for
Samoan elementary and intermediate schools and some Volunteers to work in agricultural
extension and with marketing cooperatives.
Training for the health and
agriculture projects begins this
summer and in the fall for the
teachers.
Applications and further information on the Western Samoa program are available
from the Peace Corps Liaison on
campus or by writing immediately to: Polynesia Desk, Peace

should be sent to the same address.

compounded by one of the fastest-growing populations in the
world. Its 134,000 people, living on the two largest of nine
islands, are expected to double
in 20 years.
Samoan officials have had little trouble in assigning priority
to concerns of health and education. Parasites sap an estimated
90 per cent of the people of their
energy to work and their resistance to more serious maladies such as tuberculosis, leprosy and yaws.

The teachers, who will train in
the fall and arrive in Samoa in
early 1968 for the beginning of
the school year, will instruct both
students and Samoan teachers
in English, which is the language
of instruction in the middle and
upper grades. They .will also aid
the health campaign by teaching
health and hygiene in school and
in the villages.
If the example set so far by Volunteers in Micronesia is an indication. Volunteers in Western Samoa will be drawn closely into

has just requested Peace Corps
Volunteers. A nation-wide recruiting effort which wUl focus
largely on college liberal arts
graduates will continue into
May. The first Volunteers will
begin working in the independent
South Pacific island nation in
October. Western Samoa has requested up to 150 Volunteers to
aid a major health program
aimed at diecking diseases and
parasites that affect almost all
of its 134,000 people. Another
150 teachers are scheduled to
arrive in early 1968 to instruct
elementary and intermediate students in English, health and hygiene. Public works and community development activities
are also planned. Training of the
health Volunteers begins this

Editor's note:
The following Information was
submitted by a member of the
teaching staff concerning the
pressing need for driver safety Instructors. Because of the Job opportunities which will be developing In the fleld, we think tills
article will be of Interest and
thank Professor Schrot for submitting It.
Since the passage of the Federal Highway Safety Act, in
which federal funds wUl be withheld to states unless adequate
safety programs are in force,
most states, including our own,
are vigorously promoting Safety Education.
Mr. Ivan J. Stehman, Coordinator of Highway Safety Edu-
StOtO
cation, Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, has asked all school administrators in the Commonweeilth to have adequate driver
and safety education programs
avaUable to all students. This
means many teachers wUl be
needed in our state. Many teachers wUl also be needed in other
states. I have had numerous inqufries about the avaUabillty of
Driver Education teachers from
our State Department as weU as
from other states.
Although more than half of the
secondary schools In the nation
now offer Driver Education, fewer than half of our nation's stu-

dents have an opportunity to
schedule it. According to the Federal Act, this wUl need to be remedied before December, 1968.
Organizations and educators are
now actively trying to encourage
potential teachers to get their
twelve hours in this field and become certified.
Dr. Rackley, Superintendent of
Public Instruction, recenUy said,
"Driver Education Is one of the
important subjects in the public
schools". For years, research
has shown this to be a true statement. Those students who have
had an opportunity to study
Driver Education in Pennsylvania have had a fifth as many
violations and a third as many
accidental deaths as those less
fortunate who had no opportunity to study Driver Education.
And what is more import ant than
learning how to stay alive? It
is a national tragedy that we
permit over 50,000 of our citizens to be killed annually in
traffic.
To promote Safety Education,
the American Automobile Association wUl again provide, free
of charge, complete sets of Driver
Education material for those students enrolling in summer
courses.
From June 5 to July 14, Driver Education wUl be offered
during the second period here at
Lock Haven State College. General Safety Education wUl be offered the third period. With two
more elective courses and a
teacher's certificate, a student
would be qualified to teach Driver Education in any state.
At Lock Haven, over the past
several years, many positions in
Safety Education have been unfilled because certified teachers
were not avaUable. Now with the
Federal Government requiring
that aU states have Driver Education in their schools, job opportunities in the field and salaries wUl be at an all time high
for years to come.
