LHSC greets twelve
new foreign students
By JOHN O'DOHERTY
Co-Editor
Although
LHS
has
incurred the usual drop in
student enrollment from fall
semester to spring this year,
the Office of International
Education reports the arrival
of 12 new foreign students on
campus, and the possibility of
six or seven more yet to come.
Technically, five of the 12
students are American by way
of a Congressional act. They

students this semester and the
total enrollment is 2,253 as
opposed to 2,247 a year ago.
"Attrition brings us to almost
the same head count,"
asserted Robinson. He also
said that the drop of students
between fail and spring semesters was greater this year
than last.
"I think that the most
important part of our recruiting program is our high school
visitation program," stated
Director of Admissions, Mr.

yesterday. He also noted,
"The students are the college's best salesmen. I urge

"By a special act of

None of the foreign students presently on campus,
wneiher new tnis semester or
returnees, are involved in any
sort of exchange. All but two
are here for degrees.
Four Malaysian students
are new to LHS this semester,
and their arrival here marked a
notable incident. The four flew
from their country which is
located near the equator,
directly to Williamsport. Of
the four, only one was prepared for Pennsylvania's winter weather. "One had an
overcoat," Konick recalled,
"But the others only had sport
coats. Naturally, the first thing
1 did was take them out and
get them some clothes."
The other three new foreign students are all from
different countries. There is a
girl from Turkey, who previously attended Lock Haven
but took the fall semester off.
There is also one Japanese
student visiting Lock Haven,
and he'll probably be here for
only a semester or two. An
Argentine student is also here
this semester, and Konick
predicted, "He'll probably
only stay for one semester."
Konick is a bit anxious
now about the status of six
Nigerian students who were
supposed to be here at the
start of the current semester,
but who haven't yet arrived.

Commentary....
Does winning justify the
risk oj competing injured?
By JOHN O'DOHERTY
Co-Editor
It's ^reat that this college
has a fine undefeated wrestling team, and I'm sure the
wrestlers and their coach
deserve the heartiest congratulations. I don't think that it's
so great, however, that the
health of a young athlete is
risked to ensure a victory.
Last Saturday, in the
Thomas Fieldhouse, the Lock
Haven wrestlers took on a
tough East Stroudsburg team.
The match was said to be
"crucial".
Art Baker, who wrestles
at 190 lbs. for Lock Haven
wrestled with a concussion he
rccci'vCu a vvtck Ociore al
Slippery Rock. Baker hadn't
worked out from the time he
incurred the concussion until
the time he stepped on the mat
Saturday evening. The doctor
who examined Baker in the
hospital told him to cool it for
10 days, and to have himself
examined again, after that.
The East Stroudsburg match
was six days after Baker's
injury. I'm amazed and indignant by the fact that neither
Baker himself, nor his trainer,
nor his coach had the sense to
keep him from competing
Saturday night. The referee
had to interrupt Baker's match
twice, and as Baker said
himself, "In the last couple of
minutes, I didn't see anything." When the match was
over Baker stumbled off the
mat in a fogbound stupor.
This isn't a typical case of
the athlete playing with an
injury "for the good of the
team." A bruised hip or a
strained knee is one thing, but
a concussion is something
altogether different. It's just
not good odds to abuse a head
injury.
1 talked to Mr. Tomasi,
the team trainer, and he said
he was unaware of Baker's
condition prior to the match
because he had been away. I
talked to Baker last night, and
he assured me that he wanted
to wrestle (last Saturday); that
nobody made him. When I
spoke to him, he was on cloud

nine. He was leaving Bentley
cafeteria to look for his car
because he "forgot" where he
parked it.
"What he experienced,"
Tomasi told me, "was a
post-concussion syndrome. He
didn't show any bad signs
after the concussion, but as
soon as he exerted himself he
showed some effects." Tomasi
seemed concerned enough
about Baker's health that he
didn't want to assume the
responsibility for having him
wrestle. "I checked all the
indicators (out on the mat,
when the referee stopped the
match), and he didn't seem too
bad," the trainer explained. I
asked Tomasi if he asked
Baker any questions, out on
the mat, to test his memory.
"Yeah, I did, but the answers
weren't the right ones," he
admitted.
This coming Saturday the
wrestlers meet Clarion in
another "crucial" match. A
victory would certainly be
nice. Clarion is ranked above

"Fighting" - Thin Lizzy
Here folks is a future big band. (Remember their name). There
are four members in the band, a drummer, two guitarists (who can
play circles around each other), and a bassist, Phil Lynott who is the
lead singer. Believe it or not, he sings like Bruce Sprinsteeni. On
the song "Wild One" you would swear Bruce was in there doing his
thing. The title "Wild One" even sounds like one of Springsteens.
The first song on the LP is Rosalie. It was originally written by
Bob Seger, which was done on his last album. The next song,
"Suicide" is a good blues-boogie song, though it's a little slower
than the majority of the songs on this LP. The guitar is really
excellent here.
This LP's a good rock and roll investment. The songs have a
variety and it is not just the 4/4 beat, which many bands are noted
for. Every song keeps the listener interested and at the same time
satisfied. The best cuts off the second side are "King's Vengeance"
"Silver Money," "Freedom Song," and "Ballad of a Hard Man".
Basically every song on the LP is good.
In this LP, Thin Lizzy plays a few mellow, laid-back songs, a few
medium rock songs, and a couple hard rockers. This group has the
potential to be a great band and climb to the top. The final question
is when will they start their attack on the listeners of music? That
will be up to them.
I rate the LP a B plus.
Larsen and Nicholson creafe ^Sounds^
By TINA BROOKES
Feature Editor
"A comedy show in very
bad taste" is what Carl Larsen
called "Sounds of the Week,"
a radio program created and
performed by Larsen and
Joseph Nicholson, a member
of the English Department at
Lock Haven State.
"Sounds of the Week" is
broadcast on Dr. Darlene
Thomas' Daimon program
over radio station WBPZ in
Lock Haven. To this date five
programs, each 30 minutes
long, have been aired and two
more are being planned for the
end of spring. The first
program was presented in
February 1975.
Comedy prevails in the show
with characters like Professor
Eugene Glauber, resident mad
scientist at Lock Haven State;
Helen Sorrow from the
"Sounds of Sorrow" soap
opera, and Edna Poats Booby, Poet laureate of Gin-
ton County.
"Sounds of the Week" also
has such features as "Bicentennial Seconds", "Great
Moments in Clinton County,"
and commercials advertising
zany products like "rent a
stiff" and the "here comes the
showboat" bra.
"We understand there were
many complaints," Nicholson
stated. Larsen explained that
the show appeals to kids more
than older people.
Both authors felt the show
that had the best response so
far has been the program
which covers the Fort Reed
Massacre Day parade. An
"open window" technique is
used in this show. The parade
is covered from the window of
the "penthouse of the stately
WBPZ broadcasting building
in downtown Lock Haven."
Some changes are going to
be made on coming "Sounds
of the Week" programs. A
new sponsor, Kinkie Tours,
will be added to the show. The
"open window" technique will
be used as Larsen and Nicholson talk to people on the street
from the radio station window.
"We would like to try to get
more of Lock Haven into the
show," Larsen said, "afterall,
it is a crazy town."
Nicholson and Larsen are
currently looking into the
possibility of having "Sounds

Hudson and Schlege
spark v/omen's victory
By MARY FEUSNER
Women's Sports Editor
Center Barb Hudson and
forward Deb Schlegel combined for 40 points as the
women's basketball varsity
squad convincingly over powered a small alumni team by a
score of 79-44.
Hudson was responsible for
the Haven's first six points, as
it took time for the veterans to
react toward the six footer's
inside moves. The scoring in
the first ten minutes of the half
was back and forth. Neither
team completely dominated
play. With little more than
nine minutes showing on the
clock, the Haven's scoring
punch came from guard Colleen Hacker who sunk back to
back field goals within seconds. Soon the Eaglettes lead
increased by ten, which was
increased to a 20 point span at
the half, because of the hustle
of Hacker and Hudson who
had 12 and ten points respectively.
The veterans, who had won
last year's contest in one
overtime period 76-75, seemed
to have lost their touch and
energy by the end of the half.
The alumni closed within
ten points of the varsity soon
after returning to the court for
the second period. Point producers for the Alumni were
Mary Overington Rotz, Barb
Collins and Roseann Neff.

Hackenburg cifed for fine wrestling
By J IM DORAN
Staff Reporter
As wrestling enters the
second half of the season.
Head coach Dr. Ken Cox has
put together a team that has
rolled up some very impressive wins. Lock Haven is
currently rated 8th in the east
and has won 15 in a row
including big wins over previously undefeated Kent State
and defending
conference
champ Slippery Rock.
Although wrestling is a
team sport the individuals that
make up Lock Haven's squad
have compiled a long list of
accomplishments.
Jim Schuster (Hvrt.) broke
the school career pin record
with 32. George Way (150) is
10-1 -lost to E. Stroudsburg
and has a good chance at a
national title. Al Fricke took a
fourth at the Penn State
Invitational and is a strong
11-1 on the season. Tommy
Parker was named Honorable
mention all-American by the
National mat news. Parker was
defeated for the first time this
season at the East Stroudburg match.
An unsung hero, who
shows Honorable mention
honors with Parker, is Greg
Hackenburg (150). Hackenburg fransferred from University of Maryland and broke
into the starting lineup eariy
his junior year. He finished
with a 18-3-1 season and was a
contender for the conference
championship but was forced
out of the competition with an
ankle injury.
Hackenburg is currently
10-2 and off to a fine year.
Coach Cox feels that Hacken-
burg's speed and endurance
are the keys to his success.
"He's real quick. He's a real
hard worker, one of the
hardest on the team. Hackenburg's weight class can be a
turning point in the match and

Athlete's Feat
By BILL STERNER
Staff Reporter
The last professional football season allowed an age old
argument to rear its ugly head. The numerous "bad calls" by the
controlling individuals on the field thrust the judgements of these
people into national limelight. When the curtain had dropped on
this year's grid campaigns, several coaches and owners of
professional franchises had had substantial fines crammed down
their throats as they opened their mouths to criticize officials.
The official, referee, or whatever name he goes by, is one breed
of animal who is very little appreciated. Many of them are blind at
one time or another, and all of them have been characterized as
"bums". They are mercilessly hunted by spectators armed with
anything from a whiskey bottle to a lawsuit. Surely these poor
creatures of the sports worid are not among the best loved figures in
America's athletic industry. "Mnnch, munch, munch, the ref forgot
Ills lunch..."
However, after being run out of town by drooling, red eyed
crowds, or taken under heavy police security to a secluded motel,
the officials of all sports are being protected by top notch athletic
big-wigs.
Ask any official and he will tell you that the greatest pain the
gluteus is a frenzied coach attempting to carry on a conversation
when they disagree on a point. Some officials point out that when
the sport is outdoors, they simply walk out of earshot. But what
would one do if they found themselves in the middle of thousands of
screaming mad people in a steaming gymnasium?

That is precisely what athletic lawmatcers in Nebraska thought,
and this year they are trying a new solution in the state's high
school cage circuit. The new law severely limits the number of
times, and the occasions, that a coach may rise from the bench. A
violation of the ruling is based on the judgement of the official.
The law has already proven fatal to one coach. Coach Tom
Hall's squad was leading a rival team 56-54 with one second to play.
One of Hall's players was fouled and the ecstatic coach leaped from
the bench. The referee promptly slapped him with a technical. Hall
sat down, then rose again to argue the point. Whistle. Another
technical. Hall's player missed both free throws. The other team
made both technical shots, and sent the game into overtime. Hall
eventually lost the contest.
Now just like everything that is untried, the new rule has its
good and bad points. Granted, a rule such as this will make the
official's job a whole lot easier. However, speaking from a fan's
point of view, I wonder what a law like this would do to the
excitement of indoor sports?
No one who has seen a vocal and physical coach at work during
a contest can deny that he is a very exciting, chromsftic part of every
contest. Whether his emotions are showing his true feeling or
whether he is grandstanding doesn't matter. Spectators and
participants love it. How can an official, even an intelligent and cool
as most of them remain, judge when, and why, a coach is allowed to
become emotional about his team's performance? Not all coaches
leave their seats to berate an official.
Just imagine if a stupid rule like the one in Nebraska reached
Lock Haven State. What would a basketball game be with Coach Dr.
Taylor confined to his chair, calmly watching a nip and tuck game
with a rival school? What would happen to a Lock Haven wrestling
match if Coach Dr. Cox was tied to his seat while one of his
wrestlers had an opponent on his back in a close match?
One could safely bet that many people would lose their interest
in each contest. The ugly laws would probably spread like some
dreaded disease. Officials would become so sensitive and power
thirsty that they would confine everyone's actions.
What would happen if the law became so powerful that it forced
Ross Nevel to stay in his seat unemotionally at every game or
match? The House of Noise would probably be converted to a
library.!

at 190 lbs. for Lock Haven
wrestled with a concussion he
rccci'vCu a vvtck Ociore al
Slippery Rock. Baker hadn't
worked out from the time he
incurred the concussion until
the time he stepped on the mat
Saturday evening. The doctor
who examined Baker in the
hospital told him to cool it for
10 days, and to have himself
examined again, after that.
The East Stroudsburg match
was six days after Baker's
injury. I'm amazed and indignant by the fact that neither
Baker himself, nor his trainer,
nor his coach had the sense to
keep him from competing
Saturday night. The referee
had to interrupt Baker's match
twice, and as Baker said
himself, "In the last couple of
minutes, I didn't see anything." When the match was
over Baker stumbled off the
mat in a fogbound stupor.
This isn't a typical case of
the athlete playing with an
injury "for the good of the
team." A bruised hip or a
strained knee is one thing, but
a concussion is something
altogether different. It's just
not good odds to abuse a head
injury.

the team trainer, and he said
he was unaware of Baker's
condition prior to the match
because he had been away. I
talked to Baker last night, and
he assured me that he wanted
to wrestle (last Saturday); that
nobody made him. When I
spoke to him, he was on cloud

nine. He was leaving Bentley
cafeteria to look for his car
because he "forgot" where he
parked it.
"What he experienced,"
Tomasi told me, "was a
post-concussion syndrome. He
didn't show any bad signs
after the concussion, but as
soon as he exerted himself he
showed some effects." Tomasi
seemed concerned enough
about Baker's health that he
didn't want to assume the
responsibility for having him
wrestle. "I checked all the
indicators (out on the mat,
when the referee stopped the
match), and he didn't seem too
bad," the trainer explained. I
asked Tomasi if he asked
Baker any questions, out on
the mat, to test his memory.
"Yeah, I did, but the answers
weren't the right ones," he
admitted.
This coming Saturday the
wrestlers meet Clarion in
another "crucial" match. A
victory would certainly be
nice. Clarion is ranked above

"Fighting" - Thin Lizzy
Here folks is a future big band. (Remember their name). There
are four members in the band, a drummer, two guitarists (who can
play circles around each other), and a bassist, Phil Lynott who is the
lead singer. Believe it or not, he sings like Bruce Sprinsteeni. On
the song "Wild One" you would swear Bruce was in there doing his
thing. The title "Wild One" even sounds like one of Springsteens.
The first song on the LP is Rosalie. It was originally written by
Bob Seger, which was done on his last album. The next song,
"Suicide" is a good blues-boogie song, though it's a little slower
than the majority of the songs on this LP. The guitar is really
excellent here.
This LP's a good rock and roll investment. The songs have a
variety and it is not just the 4/4 beat, which many bands are noted
for. Every song keeps the listener interested and at the same time
satisfied. The best cuts off the second side are "King's Vengeance"
"Silver Money," "Freedom Song," and "Ballad of a Hard Man".
Basically every song on the LP is good.
In this LP, Thin Lizzy plays a few mellow, laid-back songs, a few
medium rock songs, and a couple hard rockers. This group has the
potential to be a great band and climb to the top. The final question
is when will they start their attack on the listeners of music? That
will be up to them.
I rate the LP a B plus.
Larsen and Nicholson creafe ^Sounds^
By TINA BROOKES
Feature Editor
"A comedy show in very
bad taste" is what Carl Larsen
called "Sounds of the Week,"
a radio program created and
performed by Larsen and
Joseph Nicholson, a member
of the English Department at
Lock Haven State.
"Sounds of the Week" is
broadcast on Dr. Darlene
Thomas' Daimon program
over radio station WBPZ in
Lock Haven. To this date five
programs, each 30 minutes
long, have been aired and two
more are being planned for the
end of spring. The first
program was presented in
February 1975.
Comedy prevails in the show
with characters like Professor
Eugene Glauber, resident mad
scientist at Lock Haven State;
Helen Sorrow from the
"Sounds of Sorrow" soap
opera, and Edna Poats Booby, Poet laureate of Gin-
ton County.
"Sounds of the Week" also
has such features as "Bicentennial Seconds", "Great
Moments in Clinton County,"
and commercials advertising
zany products like "rent a
stiff" and the "here comes the
showboat" bra.
"We understand there were
many complaints," Nicholson
stated. Larsen explained that
the show appeals to kids more
than older people.
Both authors felt the show
that had the best response so
far has been the program
which covers the Fort Reed
Massacre Day parade. An
"open window" technique is
used in this show. The parade
is covered from the window of
the "penthouse of the stately
WBPZ broadcasting building
in downtown Lock Haven."
Some changes are going to
be made on coming "Sounds
of the Week" programs. A
new sponsor, Kinkie Tours,
will be added to the show. The
"open window" technique will
be used as Larsen and Nicholson talk to people on the street
from the radio station window.
"We would like to try to get
more of Lock Haven into the
show," Larsen said, "afterall,
it is a crazy town."
Nicholson and Larsen are
currently looking into the
possibility of having "Sounds

Hudson and Schlege
spark v/omen's victory
By MARY FEUSNER
Women's Sports Editor
Center Barb Hudson and
forward Deb Schlegel combined for 40 points as the
women's basketball varsity
squad convincingly over powered a small alumni team by a
score of 79-44.
Hudson was responsible for
the Haven's first six points, as
it took time for the veterans to
react toward the six footer's
inside moves. The scoring in
the first ten minutes of the half
was back and forth. Neither
team completely dominated
play. With little more than
nine minutes showing on the
clock, the Haven's scoring
punch came from guard Colleen Hacker who sunk back to
back field goals within seconds. Soon the Eaglettes lead
increased by ten, which was
increased to a 20 point span at
the half, because of the hustle
of Hacker and Hudson who
had 12 and ten points respectively.
The veterans, who had won
last year's contest in one
overtime period 76-75, seemed
to have lost their touch and
energy by the end of the half.
The alumni closed within
ten points of the varsity soon
after returning to the court for
the second period. Point producers for the Alumni were
Mary Overington Rotz, Barb
Collins and Roseann Neff.

Hackenburg cifed for fine wrestling
By J IM DORAN
Staff Reporter
As wrestling enters the
second half of the season.
Head coach Dr. Ken Cox has
put together a team that has
rolled up some very impressive wins. Lock Haven is
currently rated 8th in the east
and has won 15 in a row
including big wins over previously undefeated Kent State
and defending
conference
champ Slippery Rock.
Although wrestling is a
team sport the individuals that
make up Lock Haven's squad
have compiled a long list of
accomplishments.
Jim Schuster (Hvrt.) broke
the school career pin record
with 32. George Way (150) is
10-1 -lost to E. Stroudsburg
and has a good chance at a
national title. Al Fricke took a
fourth at the Penn State
Invitational and is a strong
11-1 on the season. Tommy
Parker was named Honorable
mention all-American by the
National mat news. Parker was
defeated for the first time this
season at the East Stroudburg match.
An unsung hero, who
shows Honorable mention
honors with Parker, is Greg
Hackenburg (150). Hackenburg fransferred from University of Maryland and broke
into the starting lineup eariy
his junior year. He finished
with a 18-3-1 season and was a
contender for the conference
championship but was forced
out of the competition with an
ankle injury.
Hackenburg is currently
10-2 and off to a fine year.
Coach Cox feels that Hacken-
burg's speed and endurance
are the keys to his success.
"He's real quick. He's a real
hard worker, one of the
hardest on the team. Hackenburg's weight class can be a
turning point in the match and
he gives the team the lift they

Athlete's Feat
By BILL STERNER
Staff Reporter
The last professional football season allowed an age old
argument to rear its ugly head. The numerous "bad calls" by the
controlling individuals on the field thrust the judgements of these
people into national limelight. When the curtain had dropped on
this year's grid campaigns, several coaches and owners of
professional franchises had had substantial fines crammed down
their throats as they opened their mouths to criticize officials.
The official, referee, or whatever name he goes by, is one breed
of animal who is very little appreciated. Many of them are blind at
one time or another, and all of them have been characterized as
"bums". They are mercilessly hunted by spectators armed with
anything from a whiskey bottle to a lawsuit. Surely these poor
creatures of the sports worid are not among the best loved figures in
America's athletic industry. "Mnnch, munch, munch, the ref forgot
Ills lunch..."
However, after being run out of town by drooling, red eyed
crowds, or taken under heavy police security to a secluded motel,
the officials of all sports are being protected by top notch athletic
big-wigs.
Ask any official and he will tell you that the greatest pain the
gluteus is a frenzied coach attempting to carry on a conversation
when they disagree on a point. Some officials point out that when
the sport is outdoors, they simply walk out of earshot. But what
would one do if they found themselves in the middle of thousands of
screaming mad people in a steaming gymnasium?

That is precisely what athletic lawmatcers in Nebraska thought,
and this year they are trying a new solution in the state's high
school cage circuit. The new law severely limits the number of
times, and the occasions, that a coach may rise from the bench. A
violation of the ruling is based on the judgement of the official.
The law has already proven fatal to one coach. Coach Tom
Hall's squad was leading a rival team 56-54 with one second to play.
One of Hall's players was fouled and the ecstatic coach leaped from
the bench. The referee promptly slapped him with a technical. Hall
sat down, then rose again to argue the point. Whistle. Another
technical. Hall's player missed both free throws. The other team
made both technical shots, and sent the game into overtime. Hall
eventually lost the contest.
Now just like everything that is untried, the new rule has its
good and bad points. Granted, a rule such as this will make the
official's job a whole lot easier. However, speaking from a fan's
point of view, I wonder what a law like this would do to the
excitement of indoor sports?
No one who has seen a vocal and physical coach at work during
a contest can deny that he is a very exciting, chromsftic part of every
contest. Whether his emotions are showing his true feeling or
whether he is grandstanding doesn't matter. Spectators and
participants love it. How can an official, even an intelligent and cool
as most of them remain, judge when, and why, a coach is allowed to
become emotional about his team's performance? Not all coaches
leave their seats to berate an official.
Just imagine if a stupid rule like the one in Nebraska reached
Lock Haven State. What would a basketball game be with Coach Dr.
Taylor confined to his chair, calmly watching a nip and tuck game
with a rival school? What would happen to a Lock Haven wrestling
match if Coach Dr. Cox was tied to his seat while one of his
wrestlers had an opponent on his back in a close match?
One could safely bet that many people would lose their interest
in each contest. The ugly laws would probably spread like some
dreaded disease. Officials would become so sensitive and power
thirsty that they would confine everyone's actions.
What would happen if the law became so powerful that it forced
Ross Nevel to stay in his seat unemotionally at every game or
match? The House of Noise would probably be converted to a
library.!
