'SOMETHING IS ROTTEN.
Shakespeare said it better than we can
Scniicth mj: i^
rotten in the state of Denmark." One wonders if the oUi Hani
didn't really mean the state of Pennsylvania, in the cotiniv ol
Clintoti, on the campus of Lock Haven State.
Consider the following conclusion
Miller has been fired; Dr. Parsons notified him thai ilic'
dismissal was because of Miller's "immorality and possible
violation of l a w " ; the college board of trustees agreed w ith
the president on these charges; the department of education al
Harrisburg was notified of these charges when Miller appealed
his case to them; the trustees then told the PDL that Miller
wasn't fired because of violation of law but on two points
covered in the faculty handbook, namely "immorality'' and
"(violation of l a w . "
Confused yet? Wait, there's more.
Harrisburg then agrees with the trustees verdict from
the charges, but writes that it cannot accept the charge of
immorality.
So now you are thoroughly confused.
So what else
is new?
Therefore — Miller remains dismissed from the LHS
faculty, but it's not because of violation of law, the trustees
said so. They said it's because of violation of law.
Perhaps some excerpts from documents pertinent to the
issue will confuse you more.
To Miller from Dr. P a r s o n s , dated May 26, 1969 (the day following last spring's commencement):
'.'Il hereby notify you of your dismissal from the
faculty of Lock Haven State College as of May 3 1 ,
1969, as outlined in our discussion this morning.
Specifically, you are being dismissed under explanations of the Procednr'; for Termination of Service
for Those in Continuous Employment as indicated
in parts 11 and 1 3 , namely, immorality and possible
acts in violation of law.
Should you desire to
appeal, you must so notify me in writing on or
before June 5 . "
To Dr. Kurtzman (secretary of education) from Miss Morrow
(secretary of LHS board of trustees), dated Sept. 18, 1969;
"u..The Board wishes to comment in relation to
this resolution that Mr. Miller was dropped not'oh
the basis of a violation of law but on the basis Oj
the policies
of the College as set forth in its
Faculty Handbook establishing causes fordismissal
based on conduct and actions conforming to the
standards of professional ethics our college seeks
" T h i s IS to advise that we havi carefully
examined the record of the proceedings I'lrovided
to us in the matter of the appeal of Harry I Miller
and conclude that the same supports the finding
thai Harry 1. Miller knowingly and willfully failed
to perform services for which he accepted and retained payment from public funds.
"Accordingly, we concur in the action of the
Board of Trustees of Lock Haven Stale College in
the dismissing the said Harry 1. Miller from his
employment. However, we cannot agree with the
charge of Immorality' '.'
(Italics ours and not
those of the author(s).)
Like we said above. Miller has been fired for immorality, but Harrisburg won't agree with that charge. The board
also charged him with violation of the law, only he wasn't
fired because of any violation of law; he was dismissed on a
cause listed in the handbook — violation of law.
Interesting, especially when we remember that Miller
has not been legally convicted of anything, nor is there any
legal action pending against the former faculty member.
About the only thing certain about this case is that
Miller has been fired, although apparently not on any specific
charge. And it doesn't seem as if Dr. Parsons or even the
college trustees know why or how — at least they are not
telling the students.
T h a t ' s what we like about this case — everybody says
exactly what he means; nobody beats around the bush.
There i s , however, one question which must be directed
to Dr. Parsons and his board of trustees: Since the state has
advised that it cannot accept "iimmorality" as a ground for
dismissal and you yourselves rule out "(violation of law,"
just what are the charges on which you base, your
dismissal
of Harry I. Miller?

Time-Out
by Al Smith
The Lock Haven State College soccer squad has never
won eight games in one season; they have not won a Pennsylvania championship since 1956; and the booters have not
beaten East Stroudsburg State since 1959 when they posted
a 7-4 victory.
The Eagles can achieve all three of these goals this
afternoon when they c l a s h head-on with E a s t Stroudsburg in
the first conference championship playoff game. The contest
will begin at 2:00 pm on McCollum Field with price of admission being $1 for adults and 50C for students with Id's. In
previous years the conference champion was determined by
the Sayfor Rating System.
The Eagles won their first conference charnpionship in
1947, again in 1950 and shared the title from 1953 thru 1956.
In the series with the Warriors which began in 1939 the
Eagles have won seven encounters while dropping 13 and
tying four. At one point during the series the Eagles held
a 7-4 edge with three contests ending in t i e s , but in the last
ten encounters running from 1960 thru this season the Eagles
have dropped nine contests while mustering a 1-1 tie in 1963LHS coach Karl T. Herrmann has been on the losing end
three times to the Warriors during his three year stini as
head mentor and would like nothing better than to beat ESSC
in the championship game for his first win over the Warriors.
The Warriors, defending conference champions, sport an
8-5 record coming into the contest and represent the eastern
division, and according to the latest ratings were ranked 12th
in the East. LHS has a 7-4-1 record coming into the encounter
and are representing the western division of the conference
ESSC was 3-1 in the conference having defeated Shippens
burg 5-2, MiUersville 2-0 and LHS 3 - 1 , while losing to West
Chester 3-0. LHS was 2-1 in the western division having de
feated Edinboro 5-0 and Slippery Rock 3-2 while losing to
Shippensburg 3-1.
In a previous encounter this season the Warriors slopped
the Eagles, 3-1. ESSC had jumped out to a quick lead and
were ahead 3-0 late in the game before Jack Infield scored ihe
lone LHS goal.
ESSC has had no action for over a week while the Eagles
last encounter was a 1-0 defeat to defending national champ
ion, Davis & Elkins, Saturday afternoon in the mud and rain
on McCollum Field.
The Warrior's top performance this season was a 2 I upset
over Brockport (N.Y.). Brockport had been unbeaten and un
scored upon at the time and the Warriors a l s o snapped a 21
game Brockport winning streak which had stretched over a two
year period.
; Bob Davidson and Dov Solomanski, a sergeant tn the Isreali
A|my on loan to ESSC, are the Warriors two top performers
Davidson led the ESSC scorers this season with 13 goals and
eight a s s i s t s and scored one of the three Warrior goals against
LHS. Solomanski also had a goal to his credit againsi l.HS
Leading the Eagles in points are Don Fay with 12 on seven
goals and five a s s i s t s and Jim Sleicher wilh II on eight goals
and three a s s i s t s .
Outstanding goalie Bruce Parkhill who won All America
honors last year is having another fantastic season
Parkhill
has allowed the opposition an average of onU I .s goals a
game and has recorded four shutouts
Davis iS: Elkins coach
Greg Meyers speaking of Parkhill sialed
That big horse is
unreal; he's an All-American if I ve evci seen one
LHS has outscored their opponents 29 to 15 this season
have taken a total of 293 shots compared lo iheir opponents
137, and have more corner kicks than iheir opponents 67-38
Eleven underclassmen will start for the liagles i(.xla\ and
commenting on the contest LHS ccvich Karl Herrmann said.
'•They're an awfully good team
Our problem will be if the
kids can get up. They were as high as a kite on Saturday and
it's tough to get up like that twice in a row
Herrmann a l s o added, l i s been a long time since we beat
them
They are certainly a sound team ihey always are
They move the ball very well and if they turn that Isreali
(Solomanski) loose they'll really be tough
The Eagles would like nothing hotter than to set a record

Shakespeare said it better than we can
Scniicth mj: i^
rotten in the state of Denmark." One wonders if the oUi Hani
didn't really mean the state of Pennsylvania, in the cotiniv ol
Clintoti, on the campus of Lock Haven State.
Consider the following conclusion
Miller has been fired; Dr. Parsons notified him thai ilic'
dismissal was because of Miller's "immorality and possible
violation of l a w " ; the college board of trustees agreed w ith
the president on these charges; the department of education al
Harrisburg was notified of these charges when Miller appealed
his case to them; the trustees then told the PDL that Miller
wasn't fired because of violation of law but on two points
covered in the faculty handbook, namely "immorality'' and
"(violation of l a w . "
Confused yet? Wait, there's more.
Harrisburg then agrees with the trustees verdict from
the charges, but writes that it cannot accept the charge of
immorality.
So now you are thoroughly confused.
So what else
is new?
Therefore — Miller remains dismissed from the LHS
faculty, but it's not because of violation of law, the trustees
said so. They said it's because of violation of law.
Perhaps some excerpts from documents pertinent to the
issue will confuse you more.
To Miller from Dr. P a r s o n s , dated May 26, 1969 (the day following last spring's commencement):
'.'Il hereby notify you of your dismissal from the
faculty of Lock Haven State College as of May 3 1 ,
1969, as outlined in our discussion this morning.
Specifically, you are being dismissed under explanations of the Procednr'; for Termination of Service
for Those in Continuous Employment as indicated
in parts 11 and 1 3 , namely, immorality and possible
acts in violation of law.
Should you desire to
appeal, you must so notify me in writing on or
before June 5 . "
To Dr. Kurtzman (secretary of education) from Miss Morrow
(secretary of LHS board of trustees), dated Sept. 18, 1969;
"u..The Board wishes to comment in relation to
this resolution that Mr. Miller was dropped not'oh
the basis of a violation of law but on the basis Oj
the policies
of the College as set forth in its
Faculty Handbook establishing causes fordismissal
based on conduct and actions conforming to the
standards of professional ethics our college seeks
" T h i s IS to advise that we havi carefully
examined the record of the proceedings I'lrovided
to us in the matter of the appeal of Harry I Miller
and conclude that the same supports the finding
thai Harry 1. Miller knowingly and willfully failed
to perform services for which he accepted and retained payment from public funds.
"Accordingly, we concur in the action of the
Board of Trustees of Lock Haven Stale College in
the dismissing the said Harry 1. Miller from his
employment. However, we cannot agree with the
charge of Immorality' '.'
(Italics ours and not
those of the author(s).)
Like we said above. Miller has been fired for immorality, but Harrisburg won't agree with that charge. The board
also charged him with violation of the law, only he wasn't
fired because of any violation of law; he was dismissed on a
cause listed in the handbook — violation of law.
Interesting, especially when we remember that Miller
has not been legally convicted of anything, nor is there any
legal action pending against the former faculty member.
About the only thing certain about this case is that
Miller has been fired, although apparently not on any specific
charge. And it doesn't seem as if Dr. Parsons or even the
college trustees know why or how — at least they are not
telling the students.
T h a t ' s what we like about this case — everybody says
exactly what he means; nobody beats around the bush.
There i s , however, one question which must be directed
to Dr. Parsons and his board of trustees: Since the state has
advised that it cannot accept "iimmorality" as a ground for
dismissal and you yourselves rule out "(violation of law,"
just what are the charges on which you base, your
dismissal
of Harry I. Miller?

Time-Out
by Al Smith
The Lock Haven State College soccer squad has never
won eight games in one season; they have not won a Pennsylvania championship since 1956; and the booters have not
beaten East Stroudsburg State since 1959 when they posted
a 7-4 victory.
The Eagles can achieve all three of these goals this
afternoon when they c l a s h head-on with E a s t Stroudsburg in
the first conference championship playoff game. The contest
will begin at 2:00 pm on McCollum Field with price of admission being $1 for adults and 50C for students with Id's. In
previous years the conference champion was determined by
the Sayfor Rating System.
The Eagles won their first conference charnpionship in
1947, again in 1950 and shared the title from 1953 thru 1956.
In the series with the Warriors which began in 1939 the
Eagles have won seven encounters while dropping 13 and
tying four. At one point during the series the Eagles held
a 7-4 edge with three contests ending in t i e s , but in the last
ten encounters running from 1960 thru this season the Eagles
have dropped nine contests while mustering a 1-1 tie in 1963LHS coach Karl T. Herrmann has been on the losing end
three times to the Warriors during his three year stini as
head mentor and would like nothing better than to beat ESSC
in the championship game for his first win over the Warriors.
The Warriors, defending conference champions, sport an
8-5 record coming into the contest and represent the eastern
division, and according to the latest ratings were ranked 12th
in the East. LHS has a 7-4-1 record coming into the encounter
and are representing the western division of the conference
ESSC was 3-1 in the conference having defeated Shippens
burg 5-2, MiUersville 2-0 and LHS 3 - 1 , while losing to West
Chester 3-0. LHS was 2-1 in the western division having de
feated Edinboro 5-0 and Slippery Rock 3-2 while losing to
Shippensburg 3-1.
In a previous encounter this season the Warriors slopped
the Eagles, 3-1. ESSC had jumped out to a quick lead and
were ahead 3-0 late in the game before Jack Infield scored ihe
lone LHS goal.
ESSC has had no action for over a week while the Eagles
last encounter was a 1-0 defeat to defending national champ
ion, Davis & Elkins, Saturday afternoon in the mud and rain
on McCollum Field.
The Warrior's top performance this season was a 2 I upset
over Brockport (N.Y.). Brockport had been unbeaten and un
scored upon at the time and the Warriors a l s o snapped a 21
game Brockport winning streak which had stretched over a two
year period.
; Bob Davidson and Dov Solomanski, a sergeant tn the Isreali
A|my on loan to ESSC, are the Warriors two top performers
Davidson led the ESSC scorers this season with 13 goals and
eight a s s i s t s and scored one of the three Warrior goals against
LHS. Solomanski also had a goal to his credit againsi l.HS
Leading the Eagles in points are Don Fay with 12 on seven
goals and five a s s i s t s and Jim Sleicher wilh II on eight goals
and three a s s i s t s .
Outstanding goalie Bruce Parkhill who won All America
honors last year is having another fantastic season
Parkhill
has allowed the opposition an average of onU I .s goals a
game and has recorded four shutouts
Davis iS: Elkins coach
Greg Meyers speaking of Parkhill sialed
That big horse is
unreal; he's an All-American if I ve evci seen one
LHS has outscored their opponents 29 to 15 this season
have taken a total of 293 shots compared lo iheir opponents
137, and have more corner kicks than iheir opponents 67-38
Eleven underclassmen will start for the liagles i(.xla\ and
commenting on the contest LHS ccvich Karl Herrmann said.
'•They're an awfully good team
Our problem will be if the
kids can get up. They were as high as a kite on Saturday and
it's tough to get up like that twice in a row
Herrmann a l s o added, l i s been a long time since we beat
them
They are certainly a sound team ihey always are
They move the ball very well and if they turn that Isreali
(Solomanski) loose they'll really be tough
The Eagles would like nothing hotter than to set a record
of eight victories in one season b\ dcfcalmg ihc \\;iiriors in
