' 'What can you say about a decade
which began with John F . Kennedy
and ended with Tiny T i m ? "
The
same type of statement applies to
Lock Haven and what has happened
over the past months.
What can
you say about a year which began
with a " b i t c h - i n " and is ending
with the retirement of the president?
The Lock Haven student this year
has been subject to a variety of
i d e a s , plans, accomplishments and
consequences of sttident government
laeders.
This Wednesday will be
the last meeting to be presided over
by the present slate of officers, but
what is their sum contribution to the
student body? Where have they constructed and where have the> failed
to see a chance to build?
F i r s t , they
did have a
large
following because of the "bitch, i-n",
and they were united behind a common
banner of campus improvement. A
new food service committee was
established and worked with cafeteria manager Elitz on suggestions for
improvement of cafeteria s e r v i c e .
The Black Student Union came into
being and moved as a campus organization

The
governor
visited our campus and was guided
by student leaders, in an effort to
see what was happening across the
state on college campuses.
Later,
he appointed the president of the
student govrrnment as a non-voting
member of the board of trustees.
Students were appointed to various
committees, and through the efforts of
these officers students and faculty
are serving together on joint committees .
Expenditures have broadened as the

The Student Organization for Peace

problems.

To the

editor:

I would like to make a personal comment on the problem of air
polution; in other words, how
air polution has affected my environment. A few days ago, I
spent a couple of hours washing
my car. The following morni ng,
it was covered with a layer of
black dust. Last night 1 placed
a couple of cans of Bud outside
my window to chill. Today the
results were the same.
Thank
heavens they weren't open cans
of Bud. The old adage of e a t i n g
a peck of dirt a year may very
well be a reality.
Anyone who went to summer
school last year, or the year before, would probably encounter
difficulty in their reminiscence
of the sweet night air of summer.
My eyes bothered me last summer. There seemed to be a degree of irritability in the lining
of my n o s e .
We and the members of our famili e,; are b e i n g hurt, and the
people we know a r e suffering
harm. With the n e c e s s a r y and
unnoticed act of breathi ng, we
inhale poisons and pollutants int o our bodies. Many of these i mpurities threaten our health,
may c a u s e c a n c e r , h e a r t failure,
a s t h m a , bronchitis, nausea, diarrhea, eye trouble and a host of
other a i l m e n t s and d i s t u r b a n c e s .
The harm i s , of course, worse in
the c i t i e s , but no part of our nation is free from the damaging eff e c t s of air pollution, T O a
great extent, the supply if clean
air is limited. Within our c i t i e s
mammoth doses of pollution are
building up. This is my world;
therefore, it is a personal problem.
An a r t i c l e in Newsweek back
in April of 1965, 'Up in the Air',
gives us much to think aboutWorking with s c i e n t i s t s from'ine
General Motors R e s e a r d h Lahoratories (which has an unders t a n d a e l e i n t e e e s t in air pollution), Sloan Kettring's Drs.
Ernest Wynder and Dietrich Hoffman set up a huge 'breathing
machine' in a truck on New
York's busy Hearld Square opposite Macy's department store.
For five w e e k s , the vacuum-like
inhaler took in city air at the
rate of 140 cubic meters a minute. From the dirty residue that
collected i n the machine's filter, Wynder and Hoffman extracted the organi c matter and
painted it on the backs of mice.
By the end of ten months, most
of the animals had developed
cancer of the skin. Of course,
there are those that w i n claim
that there is no more validity to
this
than
there is of the
r e l a t i a i s h i p b e t w e e n cancer and
c i g a r e t t e smoking.
Americans
are used to thinking in te ms of a bri ghter tomorrow. Unfortunately, the facts do
not s u b s t a n t i a t e this promise.
The appalling truth is that, a s
we are preceding now, the Ammericaof the near future will be
filthy and foul, and our air will
be unfit to breathe. Decade by
d e c a d e , it is dismayingly easy
to s e e why this dark dangerous
era ahead of us is i n e v i t a b l e . I
wonder if my children or my
children's children will have a
white Christmas!

yours,

Dear McCall (or Anonymous),
In response to your letter
which was a response to my
letter which was a response to
your
column,
I offer
that
we appear to be arguing from two
diametrically opposed points of
view.
You maintain that a
thing (the flag) is what it
w a s (-j-om Jefferson and pals and
their " b i g bad w o r d s " ) , while
I feel that a thing is what it

is.
As stated befor?, j and Co.
is (Dick Nixon and Co. and
their
muddled
bullshit).
As
stated
before, I
don't
much care one way or the other
how people choose to treat the
flag. My opinon on the matter
is subject to my moods. Your
initial qrtical caught me in one
of my ' ,(Screw the s y s t e m " moods
thus my letter. You could have
j u s t a s easily caught me in my
usual ^so what"' mood, but you
didn't. New however, you have
not fofced me into defending
the result of one of my moods,
so I shall.
Although we s o disagree ao
some minor s p e c i f i c s , we d o
agree on the matter of respect
generally.
Your
column that
appealed in the same issue as
your letter b e a r s this out. c ° " '
sidering this and a l s o the
assumption
that
we do not
know each other personaUy, I
can s e e no cause for the venomous
tone evident in your .letter, .jhe
phrase "my dear Mr.Flynn " has
definite implications of condescension and subtle venom.
I resent t h i s , but I will not take
it to heart, nor will I retaliate
in the same vein, but I will
consider the phrase an unfortunate
coice of words.
As for dur disagreement on
respet
for the flag, I fear
we shall never satisfactorily r e solved the matter since we argue
from
two
totally
opposite
philosophic. I b a s e s . Establishing objectively and a b s o l u t e l y
who is right and who is wrong
here is probably impossible.
But I. think it is evident that
my position is more convincing,
and since the question of truth
in the matter at hand is e n t i r e l y
relative.
i feel that the more
convincing argument is the truer
argument.
Note I d o not say
that my argument is the true
argument Your arguemtt is true,
mine
is
truer.
This exchange of rhetoric, I
think you will a g r e e , is truly
absurd. We shall probably never
a g r e e completely on the matter
a s you will
have plausible
r e s p o n s e s to all my points in
opposition to yours, and I, no
doubt, will contrive r e s p e c t a b l e
a r g u m e n f in defense of my own
position.
Despite t h i s , j do
not disocurgge any
response
from you. On the contrary, I
encourage it.
It i s a nice
diversion and my friends have
told me we make interesting
reading.
But p l e a s e , in the
interest of good will and the
compatabiltiy
of men everyw h e r e . , l e t ' s forego the venom.
It is not n i c e .

Why arc many of the facilities

To the editor:
Re: Mr. P . J . Flynn
Dear Mr. Flynn:

To the editor:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I
was always under the impression
that a newspaper was an inanimate, formless object to be created by the people who work it.,
The Eagle Eye, I always thought
was
a college newspaper on
which anyone could work, forming it into whatever they c h o s e .
Recently there has been strong
criticism
of the Eagle
Eye
(which has been not of the paper
but of the people operating it.)
I always considered the Eagle
Eye an educational process for
students interested in journalism.
It is not considered in any way a
profession paper filled with professional writers.
Because of
this I never found the errors (c ommon to nay educational process)
that tragic.
But the point is that since this
paper has free staff membership,
why dcn't the people who have
objections go to work to change,
what they think is wrong. Foi
example maybe Larry Duck should
try to become an editor and see
what he can do. I always thought
this was the way the Eagle Eye
operated. I know of one editor
who did this two years ago and
seems to be operating the paper
the way that person desired.
In other words if change is desired in the department ( no paper
is a clique) why don't the
people go change it? If they only
want to complain about the people working on it, why don't
they talk to the people working
on it?
Personally 1 would like more
interesting article structure and
properly spelled words.
I will
work for you and try to spell properly and have interesting structures.
Afterall,
Oeorge Washington

to him!
