By DREW McGHEE

quite busy the week preceeding Thanksgiving vacation, according to Carl
Nelson, director. On Friday

Arrests are expected, Nelson added.
Two thefts were reported
to Law Enforcement on
Saturday Nov. 18th. A
visitor to the college
reported that his tape
player was stolen from his
automobile. The car was
parked near McEntire Hall.
Nelson asked that anyone
with information about this
incident, to please call Law
Enforcement at ext. 223.
An automobile, belonging to a student, was
reported stolen at 3:20am
on Nov. 18. The car was
parked near Sullivan Hall
prior to being reported
stolen. The Lock Haven
City Police found the car
ten minutes later near the
Immaculate Conception Catholic Church. Nelson believes that the car was

moved as a practice joke.
Vandals damaged the
sculpture behind ttiub Hall
sometime on Nov. 18.
According to Nelson, the
damage occured to the
plumbing system of the
sculpture.
Also on Nov. 18 Law
Enforcement was called to
the cafeteria at 5:55pm due
to a fight between two male
students. Nelson said that
no injuries occured but an
investigation is continuing
to determine if disorderly
conduct charges should be
filed.
Law Enforcement and
the Lock Haven Fire Department responded to a
trash chute fire in Woolridge Hall at 6:S5am
Monday Nov. 20. Nelson
said that the L.H. Fire
Dept. was called to clear
smoke from the building.

CAS Questions Validity of Student Union Building Fees
The Commonwealth Association of Students (CAS)
as part of its statewide
Student Consumerism Movement, has been researching the validity of studentpayment of union building
fees.
Students attending Pennsylvania's state-owned colleges and university, in
accordance with a 1963
amendment to the Public
School Codes of 1949, pay a
student union building fee
of $10 per semester. The
money, according to the
amendment, is used to
meet rentals due to the
General State Authority,
which constructed community buildings for the
use of the state colleges.

and their students.
CAS, the student advocacy representing nearly
80,000 students attending
Pennsylvania's state owned institutions, is questioning the possibility of inequity in the charging of
union building fees to
students attending stateowned colleges, since students at some state-related
schools might not pay such
fees.
Some other concerns
expressed by CAS surrounding the issue include
(1) the possibility that
students might have already paid for some of the
buildings, if not over and
over again, and (2) the
accountability of the money

that has been already
collected. There are discrepancies surrounding the

^ PREVIEWS it
By FRANCES ARNDT
Tonight in Sloan A u d i t o r i u m , the members of the
Liberal Arts Seminar in New Theatre will be
presenting "Cincinnati, Cincinnati, A l l Aboard for
C i n c i n n a t i " , an original play created by Lock
Haven's own Professor John Gordon.
The play, an experiment in New Theatre, was
conceived by Professor Cordon after the American
Theatre Association Convention in New Orleans
this summer, where Professor Gordon chaired the
panel on New Theatre. His major source of inspiration was the work of Robert Wilson, probably the
most dynamic figure in New Theatre today.
Wilson's innovative style consists of provocative
images strung loosely together that cause the
audience to create their own personal meaning for
what they are seeing. This idea of demanding the
audience to create a meaning is compounded by the
very l i m i t e d (and sometimes
completely
non-existent) use of verbal expression.
"Cincinnati . . . " is styled along this mode,
having very strong visual impact, w i t h only a bare
minimum of speech and little emotional display.
The cast of the play hints at the variance of sights
the audience will experience, w i t h the listings
including a chicken, the conductor, the man who
mows the stage, a woman hanging up articles from
a basket (as one would 4tang up laundry), the old
woman who murders the dummies and saves the
babies, and 10 persons over 60 years of age.

A t the end of the play, the audience w i l l be called
upon to discuss what they have just seen, and to
relate their various interpretations.
Professor Gordon emphasizes the experimental,
avant-garde nature of the production as a means of
playing with new theories and explaning new
audience-performer relationships. Those involved
in the production are eager to have audience
response.
The production lasts 45 minutes, and is one of the
first theatre productions done in Sloan A u d i t o r i u m .
Performance time is 8:00 P.M.

This week, the Humanities Film Series will be
presenting 3 shorts, all created by students of f i l m .
The first of these is "Electronic L a b y r i n t h " , a 17
minute futuristic science fiction piece created by
George Lucas (director of Star Wars) in 1969 as his
master's project at UCLA.
The second, titled " F r a n k F i l m " by Frank
Mouris, is a 1973 f i l m which won an Academy
Award as best short feature. The f i l m is of an
autobiographical nature, and it is unique in that it
contains 2 simultaneous soundtracks.
The third work, " Q u a c k " , is an experimental
24-minute study (made in 1976) of a woman who
tries to become a film-maker.
The films will be shown at 8:00 P.M. Tuesday in
Raub 106, and at 8:00 P.M. Wednesday in Ulmer
Planetarium.

One Act Play Scheduled

By EDITH DURHAM
"Poor Professor Hellor,"
an original play in one act,
written by Joe Pagana, will
be performed in the Conference Room at the lower
level of the PUB at 9:00
Friday Dec. 8 through
Sunday Dec. 10. The play,
acted by Lori Jordan, Dan
Way, Jayne Bolduc and Joe
DiDonato, directed by Mr.
Larry Lebin, deals with the
trials and tribulations of
student life at dear Lock
Haven State.
If your mind has grown
fuzzy from pounding the
books, watching the play
will rescue your last
glimmer of hope and you

will realize that it need not
be so bad. This late in the
semester, tips on,how to
win grades and influence
professors may be very
useful. No longer will the
fear of adding a felony to
your resume loom high
once you witness a bomb
scare successfully staged,
without using a phoney
voice or carrying around a
suspicious tell tale box.
Warning: Upon entering
the Conference Room you
will be required to go
through a metal detector,
so please wait until next
week or a day when we all
have three tests in the same
building.

Eagle Wrestlers Smash Montclair State 22-17
^ JERKY PETERMAN
Before one of the most
enthusiastic crowds in
recent memory, the suprising young Bald Eagle
wrestlers scored a smashing 22-17 victory over
always-tough Monclair
State. MAclair entered the
"House of Noise" with a
good 2-1 record including
wins over Rider and Boston
University. The lost a close
match to Ivy League power
Princton. Leading Montclair was NCAA-Division I
champion Kenn Mallory,
134. The Bald Eagles hung
tough throughout the
match and improving Tim
Thompson, 190, won the
pivotal match when he
yqueaked out a 9-7 decision
over muscular Chuck Brooder. The Haven's AllAmerican candidate 290
pound (jregg Koontz put
the victory in the oven
when he decked 315 pound
Ron Pendleton with a
Head-lock, much to the
delight of the 1,600 fans.
Last year, the Bald Eagles
downed the Metropolitan
Le^ue Champs from New
Jersey, 31-15. Monclair
came to the Thomas Field
House as the second ranked
team in NCAA-Division m.
Looking especially impressive for the Bald
Eagles in addition to
Thompson and Koontz
were junior Dave Moyer,
134, and freshman, Steve
Williams, 158. Moyer won
his third straisht match of

the season by pinning Mark
Minelli in 5:30 with a
reverse cradle. Williams
displayed a lot of courage
and stamina by coming
from a two point deficit to
shade veteran Alex Matello. 12-9 at the buzzer,
gaining hard-earned draws
tor the Bald VHi/flM •wtr€
Johnny UnanMt, 126, and
Ausin Shanfelt«r, 177.
Although dropping ded'
sions, Kevin Brown, 118,
Jeff lacovelli, 142, Cbug
Gallaher, 150, and Joe
Speese, 167, all looked
impressive. According to
Coach Cox, he was proud of
the whole team, especially
Jeff lacovelli, a freshman
fix>m Ithaca, N.Y., who
stayed in there with NCAADivision Champ Mallory.
"We have the potential to
have another fine season.
The match with Auburn
helped mature us rapidly
and our physical condition
was a major factor in
tonight's victory," commented Cox.
The Bald Eagles host the
3rd Annual Mat-Town,
USA, Invitational this coming Saturday and Sunday,
the Grapplers still need lots
of work to be ready for the
likes of Tennessee, Temple, Ohio State and the rest
of the tough eight team
fiels, concluded Dr. Cox.
The JV's beat a good
Keystone Junior College
team 21-11 in the preliminary match. Winning for
the charges of Michael

Moore were: George DeAugustino, l26, Vince
Testa, 134, Jeff Fleishamn,

placed second behind
Michigan State in the 5th
Annual Penn State Invitational on Saturday. Auburn
shellacked the likes of Penn
State, Maryland, Qarion,
Pitt, Qemson, and Michigan . . . Dr. Cox, commenting on why he would

notice the newcdiher to
college wrestling.
As a sophomore, Koontz
continued his winning and
piiuiing ways. He had a
season jecord of 26-7, a
good improvement over his
19-10-1 freshman year.
More importantly, he
added another 17 pins to
bring his two year total to
34. Koontz won a conference championship and was
ranked fourth in the East by
a national wrestling magazine.
In just two years
"Keontzie," as everyone
calls him, has become a
favorite of the crowds as
well as his coach. Ken Cox.
Acccmllng to Cox, Koontz is
one of the premier heavyweights in the country
already and is going to get
better. A lot of hard work
and dedication are characteristic of Koontz. His
teammates are aware of
this and that is why he is
now the team captain.
Teammate John Unangst
said Koontz leads by example more than by words.
Koontz is the type of
wrestler opponents hate to
wrestle. He is to wrestling
what the home run hitter is
to baseball. Koontz is what
is known as a "pinner,"
someone who is capable of
pinning anyone at any time.
His 34 pins are just ten
short of the all-time school
record, a record he feels he
should be able to break by
mid-season this year. With

team felt we could not pass
up the opportunity to get a
shot at the SEC power. . . .
"In tournament competition you only get an hour's
rest anyhow, remarked Dr.
Cox, and our team is always
in top physical condition,
that's our trademark" . . . .

Women Cagers Look Foward To Season
By KATHY MURRAY
With the onset of the
winter season, fall sports
come to a close, and the
gymnasiums echo the
sounds of gymnasts, wrestlers, and basketball players
hard at practice. Though
winter has not yet arrived
in full force, the women's
basketball team has and
they are striving to improve
over their 11-10 record of
one year ago.
Experience appears to be
a major asset for the Eagles
as ten of the retuming fifteen players were varsity
members last year. In
addition, there are seven
freshmen who Coach Cornelius feels are highly
skilled with a lot of
potential for varsity play in
the next year or two. Also
accompanying the team
this year are two junior
transfer students from
Montgomery Community
College. They are Peg Pennepacker, a 5'8" forward
and Marge Connelly who at

5'10" will be instrumental
at the center position. Both
are expected to see plenty
of varsity action.
The Haven's first challenge will be December 27
and 28 when the women
face stiff competition at the
Keane College Tournament. This is a four-team
tournament, which will
include
Keane,
Lock
Haven, Slippery Rock, and
William Paterson. Lock
Haven finished third in this
tournament last year.
The toughest competition
of the year figures to include Ulinois State, U. of
Delaware, U. of Pitt, at
Johnstown, and Penn
State. Maryland was dropped from this year's
schedule in favor of U. of
Pitt at Johnstown, who
Lock Haven defeated by
four points in the Satellite
Tournament held last year
in Mansfield.

Being a 290 pound athlete enables one to command a great deal of
respect, especially when
you are "considered one of

School where he was a
talented athlete,
Koontz wrestled in two
state championship tournaments but failed to place
in either. Upon coming to
Lock Haven, Koontz was to
improve enough to gain
him respect from coaches
and athletes from around
the country.
Koontz came to school
the year after Jim Schuster
graduated. Schuster was
the Heavyweight the year
before Koontz, and was one
of the best ever at Lock
Haven. Nobody expected
much from Koontz his first
year in college but he
impressed many people by
compiling a 19-10-1 overall
record. Even more astonishing was his 17 falls
which was a new one-season record. Three of those
falls came against some of
the best heavyweights in
the East and that caused
some people to sit up and

wrestle two teams back to
back in the space of an hour
like he did on Wednesday,
stated the George Mason
team was under contract for
over a year, and we had a
moral commitment to them,
and when Auburn called in
July for a match since they
were flying up to PSU, my

two full years left he should
be able to amass enough
pins to hold a career record
for years to come.
Koontz has gained more
distinctions in two years
than most wrestlers gain in
four years. The big
heavyweight, however, is
very humble. When asked
about his outstanding performances in his first two
years Koontz said, "I don't
know if I'm as good as
everyone thinks I am, but I
try." This may sound like
rehearsed humility for an

accomplished athlete, but
for Koontz it is very
sincere.
Koontz has set some
goals for himself that he
hopes to realize in the next
two years. Breaking the pin
record is first on his list.
After this he wants to
repeat as conference champion. Coach Cox feels his
heavyweight has the potential to become Lock
Haven's sixth national
champion,
which
is
Koontz's ultimate ambition.

this was the statement Lock
Haven's outstanding defensive player Bert Gottbrecht made after he received the Most Valuable

education at Penn State or

soccer power.

study engineering, but has
planned to change his
major to Computer Science.
Bert's plans for the future
