Eagle Wing In Red, Committee Chairman
ApKinted, New Union Cut In Half
At the meeting of January 6
it was reported to the S.C.C.
that the Eagle Wing had once
again run Into the red. The total
expenditures for the month of
November exceeded the total receipts by $393.63.
Mr. Hurwitz explained that
the location has been assigned for
the new student u n i o n . The
General State Authority designated the field below Smith Hall
as the official site for the union.
Since the government will not
allocate enough money to supply
the facilities we want for the

new building, it is being built
in two phases, the first including
only the necessities. The sketches
for the building are already being prepared and the final drawings will be complete in November of this year. Construction
will probably start In 1966.
President James Hoover named
Len Hoover as Parking Committee Chairman for 1965, and
Keith G r u v e r e as the Social
Chairman. He also appointed
Gary Roberts, Arui Panasltl and
Steve Hancock to work on the
proposal concerning the hazardour corner situation.

SIMONSMEN FACE DEAPLY FOE
Lock Haven State's t o u t e d
wrestling team faces its toughest
non-conference opponent t h i s
evening at 9:00 o'clock when it
hosts St. Cloud of Minnesota.
Tonight's match will mark the
first time these two c o l l e g e
wrestling p o w e r h o u s e s have
faced each other.
St. Cloud, always a top-notch
wrestling power in the mid-west,
has placed high in the N.A.I.A.
listings for the past six years.
This year before the regular dual
meet action c o m m e n c e d , St.
Cloud was ranked by the Amateur Wrestling Newsletter as
one of the top eight small college wrestling p o w e r s in the
nation.
In a recent Interview with
Penn State's new w r e s t l i n g
coach, Bill Koll, he commented
on St. Cloud's wrestlers. "In all
my years at State College of
Iowa, I never saw a wrestling
team match St. Cloud's physical
strength. Every year we wrestled
them they had three to six wrestlers who looked like they were
built out of steel." Bill KoU's
mat team faced St. Cloud three
times without registering a victory.
Going Into Tuesday's match

The 1965 Fine Arts Fesrival
of Lock Haven State College begins on February 9. The first
event Is the Art Show in the
little gallery of the New Classroom Building. The work displayed will be primarily student
work from Introduction to Art,
Art in the Elementary Grades,
C r e a t i v e Arts, Painting, and
Pottery classes.
Also planned for February 9
at 8:30 p.m. is an Art Gallery
talk by the Art Department
Staff. The lecture will include
a formal discussion of the work
done by the students. There will
also be a discussion of why the
art curiculum and the elective
field is done the way it is. There
will be an informal coffee hour
afterwards at which time the
students and staff will participate in an informal discussion.
The Student Art Show will be
exhibited February 9 t o February
28. Both students and public
are invited to attend the events
which will be held in connection with the entire Fine Arts
Festival.

looked by many instructors since
they state at the beginning of
each semester that they personally will see to it that cutting
has a negative influence on the
students' grades.
It seems odd that students are
expected to know all the different variations of the attendance
regulations when their instructors can't or won't follow the
one set down in the Compass.

Last Saturday, Lock Haven

Lock Haven its seventh straight

Oswego State (New York)

The loss marked the New Yorker's first defeat of the season.
Before the meet started Oswego

STUDENT CRITICIZES
CAMPUS ENTERTAINMENT
Dear Editor,
What benefits are we getting
from our activity fees? After
all, we pay twenty-five dollars
for activities and just what do
we get? We very seldom have
free admission to dances. We
rarely have live entertainment
like big name combos. We hear
about all of the other colleges,
including other state colleges,
having these great combos, but
we always have to put up with
records or "The E x p l o s i v e
DEADBEATS" who haven't exploded once yet. Then we wonder why Lock Haven State is a
"Suitcase College!" This could
be a major factor. Now just
take time to figure it out. There
are approximately sixteen hundred students enrolled here at
Lock Haven State College who
are required to pay this twentyfive dollars activity fee. Every
semester this comes out to a total
of a p p r o x i m a t e l y FORTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS! Now
this surely should allow enough
money for big name entertainment at dances every week or
at least at regular intervals. This
indeed is a sad situation and we
think that something should be
done about It. If other colleges
can afford big name combos,
then so should our college. We
also feel that our aims could be
accomplished by our supposedly
fabulous Student Co-operative
Council.
FRUSTRATED!!!!
ED. NOTE
Since you would like to know
just what you get for your activity fees, take a look at Page 39
of the Student Handbook, The
Compass; there you will find an
accounting of every dollar spent
by the S.C.C. Pay special attention to the expenditures marked
Assembly Committee, S o c i a l
Committee, and C o m m u n i t y
Concerts. Total up the gross
expenses of these administrative
boards and you will find that
$16,550 are spent each year providing you with big name entertainment. I have yet to see the
"Back Beats" play at an S.C.C.
function of any importance. In
reference to your paying to hear
records or an unknown dance
band each week-end, I believe
you are referring to the weekly
Hob Nobs. These are not a
function of the S.C.C, but of
various clubs.
If you win look further on
Page 39 you will see such organizations as the Math Club
and Art Club with S.C.C. allocations, ranging from $67.00
for the Biology Club to $700.00
for the W.A.R.A. If you can
show these clubs how they can
take their meager S.C.C. allocations and pay Maynard Ferguson $2,000.00 to p l a y for a
three-hour Hob Nob, w h i c h
only 200 students out of the
a l m i g h t y 1,500 on campus
would attend anyway, and still
have enough money to support
the club, you are really a financial genius.
Take a look at the fraternities,
which incidentally hold most of
your Hob Nobs. They do not
even receive an allocation from
your Activity Fee. When they
hold a Hob Nob, they do not

even show a profit until 2 50
people have passed through the
door and paid admission. And
if you decide to go home for the
week-end and only 200 people
show up, who makes up the difference?
Why the fraternity
brothers do, right through the
nose.
Besides Penn State, name one
other State College which has
more big n a m e entertainment
than we do. The only reason
Penn State can have big name
entertainment every week is that
they have ten t i m e s as many
students as we do, and consequently ten times the activity
fees. H o w e v e r , bear this in
mind, when a group such as the
"Brandy-Wine Singers" plays at
Lock Haven State, they appear
before 1,500 p e o p l e , whereas
when they play at Penn State
they appear before 6,000. We,
too, could have big name entertainment each week-end if you
paid $2 5 0.00 a semester.
There are many things to do
here on the week-ends, and I
don't mean In the way of entertainment as such. T h e r e are
many o r g a n i z a t i o n s such as
Praeco and even this newspaper,
which are in desperate need of
week-end help. Don't expect
t h e s e organizations to provide
you with entertainment, if you
don't help them in return. How
can the Praeco hold a Hob Nob
on the week-ends, if all the staff
must work every week-end making up your yearbook.
The next week-end you are
knocking a r o u n d the college
with nothing to do, go to the
P r a e c o office or come to the
Eagle Eye office and offer your
assistance; writing copy or interviewing students and faculty.
You just may find that you receive more satisfaction from
doing work for the betterment
of the student body, than from
criticizing the c a m p u s entertainment.
