Controversial budget passed
By Jan Albright
The 1974-5 SCC budget
was approved last night by a
vote of 17-7. Athletic allocations proved to be the most
controversial point of the
evening, with many senators
expressing objections to the
expenditures which comprise
38,66% of the budget.
Ron Vance reported a
change in athletic allocations to $77,356.36, the «19.50
decrease due to a miscalculation in wrestling transportation costs to Bucknell. The
$19.50 was added to the contingency fund.
Following a motion to
approve the budget, a period
of discussion took place in
which many senators voiced
their opinions. Parlementarian Dave Drabot questioned
the incoming revenue from
both athletics and the social
committee.
Treasurer Ron
Vance reported that the athletic income from this year
will reach approximately
$13,000 when all checks are
in, next year's anticipated
revenue being $14,3000. The
Social Committee has brought
in $7,720 as of February and
should reach their expected
income after Spring Weekend,
substantiating their proposed
74-75 income of $3,000.
A number of senators
questioned the $3,000 allocation to small clubs, a category which includes The
Folk Society. Doubt was expres sed as to whether the
society would receive an adequate amount of funds while
being included with small
clubs. Treasurer Vance explained that small clubs are
asked for budget requests in
the fall, the Folk Society being the only new club to request funds this school year.
He said that pending no other
new requests, the Folk Society
will get at least $700, the
same amount they received
this year.
A large portion of the
discussion concerned athletic allocations. Tim Foltz
stated that the 38.66% of the
budget devoted to athletics
was too much, compared to
the direct participatory part
played by the students.
President Rich DeBernardo
wagered that at least 38% of
the student body somehow
participates in athletics.
Treasurer Vance reported
that LHS athletic teams will
be traveling 13,762 miles by
bus, adding $2,064 36 due to
increased bus rates.
Van
mileage has also increased.
The addition of two new sports,
womens syncronized swimming
and womens competative swiming, has also caused a need
for increased athletic expenditures.
Senator Dennis Greenaway questioned the achievements of various sports programs and stated that the SCC
should have some input in
selecting coaches.
Other
senators said that poor athletic records can also be attributed to insufficient interest by some coaches as well
as the lack of quality athletes
due to no athletic scholarships.
Recording
Secretary
Linda Schreiber questioned
the remaining portion ofthe
budget not devoted to athletics, citing instances of poor
attendance in areas such as
cultural affairs.

Haven to be
summer picnic
"The Haven" will become
a resort for families wishing
to take an inexpensive vacation in the mountains of
Central Pennsylvania.
The college is opening
up its residence halls during
the last week of June to
families who can live on
campus and take advantage
of
the
recreational facilities
available.
Activities include swinr
ming in the indoor pools and
the river, tennis , canoeing,
picnicing and hiking. For
social activites, a picric
and a campfire are scheduled.
The library will be open
for use and films may be
shav n.
Free tutoring available
by Doris Checkaneck
For the first time, Lock
Haven State now has an
organized,
free
tutoring
program.
The primary service of
the
Student
Assistance
Program (SAP) is to offer
tutoring on a one-to-one basis
as well as in groups. The
center urges students not to
wait till they are failing a
subject to apply for a tutor.
Students should go to Smith
office 8 between 9-4:30 daily
in order to take advantage of
the program. Within a few
days, the student will be
contacted if there is a tutor
available. Tutoring is done
primarily by students employed by the center.
There are several requirments for students wishing
to apply for a tutor-counselor
position.
They cannot be
employed elsewhere on campus and the center prefers
upperclassmen, though exceptions may be made. Students
should have high cumulative
averages and a recommendation from a faculty member.
Students are encouraged
to apply for tutor-counselor
positions, and get further information by going to office
8 in Smith Hall.
Summer
school counselors are especially needed.
SAP is also concerned
with developing a study skills
workshop and group activities
orientated toward college life.
The Student Assistance
Program (SAP) was developed
after LHS received two grants.
The state grant " Act 101"
and the federal grant provided
by "Special Services" are
administered
through the
Office of Development, and
each grant has established
eligibility guidelines.
Robert Lane, director
of the state grant and Martha
Nicholson, director of the
federal grant, have combined
efforts to offer "supportive
services to financial and/or
academically eligible students".
The Educational Opportunity Center is located in
Smith, office 1.
The two
center co-ordinaters are Marilou Gary and Wendy Gardiner,
who supervise studying in
the center. The center is
open daily, plus Monday,
Tuesday, and Thursday nights
from 74 0 pjii.

Britain con survive anything
By Evalyn Fisher
"If the British can
survive their meals," George
Bernard Shaw once chided,
"they can survive anything."
But,
whether Britain
can these days find hurnor or
truth in Mr. Shaw's statement is questionable; the
country is wading amidst its
worst economic crisis since
World War II.
The muck began with
Britain's winter rain and the
Middle East War. As England
was boycotted by the oilproducing Arab states, she
continued to sell to Holland
some of what oil she did
obtain, a matter which grew
in controversy and caused
already high-priced petrol to
rise in price to over SI per
gallon.
Nexl the nation's truck
drivers revolted - they refused to pay rising petrol
costs and keep their rigs on
the road. Scattered lorry
strikes kept industry's and
consumers' nerves on edge.
In London, the commuter
train union added to the
tension when it decided to
stage a slow-down to win a
few of its demands. One of
those demands was installed
speedometers, a negligence
they justifiably noted as
dangerous.
The
normal
British cool temper ran a
true test as queues numbered
into the hundreds for the
work-hour commuter specials.
Unbelievability entered
the country's sad tale when
the coal miners threatened to
strike for higher wages, and
then did. The country's export economy began to tremble
as the coal supply dwindled,
and the pound fell to a postwar low on the European
market.
Prime
Minister
Heath refused to comply with
the militant miners demands,
and the coal shut-off dragged
on.
Unquestionably, a power
cut was Heath's next attempt
to stave off the miners'
paralyzing control of the
country. So Heath put Britain
on a three-day work week and
asked all countrymen to conserve on heating and
electricity, a plea our country
can well understand. Lights
wenl out all over the nation,
and warm rooms became
nearly non-existant. tiaven
stores were lighted by candlelight to back the Prime
Minister's request.
At least il appeared to
be support; a February election proved otherwise. The
British population voted in a
new political party, and all
at Heath's requesting misfortune. Now the Labour
Party was to try its hand at
running the muck. And from
statistics reported in Newsweek, March 4, the population
is nol optimistic about the
aces in Wilson's deck.
Perhaps the dissatisfaction wilh the new government may be speculated lo be
seen in the March 28 kidnapping attempt of Princess
Work on Crucible
is now underway
Work on the Crucible,
LHS's Student literary magazine, is under way with expected publication this fall.
Fidilor Debbie Rowles, a junior
English-Liberal
Arts
major, is optimistic that this
year's publication may be
representative of a number of
campus writers.
Rowles, a 1972 participant in the Nottingham exchange program, feels she
has gained " a new perspect
tive" from the experience.
While in England she started
a comparative study of the
LHS literary magazine, Nottingham College literary Magazine, and a number of independent student publications.
More artwork is included in
her plans for this year's magazine.
Professors Joeseph Nicholson and Vincent Stewart
are advisors to the small
staff, which includes Sue
Kisher, Donna Leggett, Dan
Keefer, Sharon Hamilton,
Pat Ramsey, and Jan Albright.
Friday April 19 is the
final deadline for all manuscripts to be submitted.
Students who entered the recent poetry and short story
contest are especially reminded to submit another copy of
their work to Russell 05 to
be considered for publication.
Anne, a rare incident in a
country which has treated its
royalty kindly since Charles I
lost his head in 1649,
"Still,
extraordinary
circumstances have usually
brought out the best in the
British," stated an article
in the March 11 issue of
Newsweek, and an AP story
recently reporied that the
country is coping wilh its
three-day work week and
other drawbacks far better
than expected. The coal
miners' dispute has been
settled to the miners' current
satisfaction,
homes
are
warmer and brighter, and
unemployment has actually
dropped a quarter of a million
workers from the January
level.
So far, manufactures
seem to be gelling 70 and 80
per cent of their normal output, and the feared bankruptcies of small firms have
not yet been a problem.
Thus,
although
the
common folk are generally
confused and/or disgusted
wilh the results of their
February election, scattered
shopping days, and stale of
the union, the struggle lo
maintain Britain's historic
stiff upper lip continues. As
was slated in the Newsweek
issue of March 11, "The
secret of the system, Harold
Laski observed long ago, is
'the gentleman's genius for
compromise and his capicily
for absoralion.'"
Mr, Shaw may be right,
after all.
Students opt to vote
Twenty-nine LHS students
registered to vote in Clinton
County during voter registration held on campus Wednesday, April 3.
Seventeen of these students registered as Democrat^
and seven as republicans
while three registered nonparty and two as Constitutionalists.
Four change-overs
were reprinted with three nonparty registering as Democrats
and one Republican changing
over to the Democratic party.
The primary election will
take place May ll.
Anyone
wishing lo register to vole in
Clinton County and did not
get a chance to do so in the

budget vote
continued from Page 1
Tim Foltz, in reference
to a statement made by coordinator of Compus Activities David Arseneault, stated "We are here to provide
the biggest and most rounded
program that the students of
Lock Haven State can stand."
A roll call vote was taken
17 senators in favor and 7
against. With this vote, the
budget was carried.
Only one arnmendmenl t o
the budget was considered.
Senator Mike Holter moved to
ammend by deleting the S4,500
allocated for the radio station,
and adding it to the contingency fund. The reason for this
ammendment was that at
present, the radio station is
not recognised by the senate
as an organization.
"I think a budget should
actively reflect what you
anticipate providing funds
for," stated Treasurer Vance
in explaining the radio station
allocation.
He added that
the senate must vote before
the money can be spent.
The ammendment was
voted on by roll call and defeated with a vote of 4 yes,
17 no, 2 abstaining. By this
time a number of senators
had left, accounting for the
change in total votes.

Controversial budget passed
By Jan Albright
The 1974-5 SCC budget
was approved last night by a
vote of 17-7. Athletic allocations proved to be the most
controversial point of the
evening, with many senators
expressing objections to the
expenditures which comprise
38,66% of the budget.
Ron Vance reported a
change in athletic allocations to $77,356.36, the «19.50
decrease due to a miscalculation in wrestling transportation costs to Bucknell. The
$19.50 was added to the contingency fund.
Following a motion to

of discussion took place in
which many senators voiced
their opinions. Parlementarian Dave Drabot questioned
the incoming revenue from
both athletics and the social

Treasurer Ron
Vance reported that the athletic income from this year
will reach approximately
$13,000 when all checks are

revenue being $14,3000. The
Social Committee has brought
in $7,720 as of February and
should reach their expected
income after Spring Weekend,
substantiating their proposed
74-75 income of $3,000.
A number of senators
questioned the $3,000 allocation to small clubs, a category which includes The
Folk Society. Doubt was expres sed as to whether the
society would receive an adequate amount of funds while
being included with small
clubs. Treasurer Vance explained that small clubs are
asked for budget requests in
the fall, the Folk Society being the only new club to request funds this school year.
He said that pending no other
new requests, the Folk Society
will get at least $700, the
same amount they received
this year.
A large portion of the
discussion concerned athletic allocations. Tim Foltz
stated that the 38.66% of the
budget devoted to athletics
was too much, compared to
the direct participatory part

President Rich DeBernardo

truth in Mr. Shaw's statement is questionable; the
country is wading amidst its
worst economic crisis since
World War II.
The muck began with
Britain's winter rain and the
Middle East War. As England
was boycotted by the oilproducing Arab states, she
continued to sell to Holland
some of what oil she did
obtain, a matter which grew
in controversy and caused
already high-priced petrol to
rise in price to over SI per
gallon.
Nexl the nation's truck
drivers revolted - they refused to pay rising petrol
costs and keep their rigs on
the road. Scattered lorry
strikes kept industry's and
consumers' nerves on edge.
In London, the commuter
train union added to the
tension when it decided to
stage a slow-down to win a
few of its demands. One of
those demands was installed
speedometers, a negligence
they justifiably noted as
dangerous.
The
normal
British cool temper ran a
true test as queues numbered
into the hundreds for the
work-hour commuter specials.
Unbelievability entered
the country's sad tale when
the coal miners threatened to
strike for higher wages, and
then did. The country's export economy began to tremble
as the coal supply dwindled,
and the pound fell to a postwar low on the European
market.
Prime
Minister
Heath refused to comply with
the militant miners demands,
and the coal shut-off dragged
on.
Unquestionably, a power
cut was Heath's next attempt
to stave off the miners'
paralyzing control of the
country. So Heath put Britain
on a three-day work week and
asked all countrymen to conserve on heating and
electricity, a plea our country
can well understand. Lights
wenl out all over the nation,
and warm rooms became
nearly non-existant. tiaven
stores were lighted by candlelight to back the Prime
Minister's request.
At least il appeared to
be support; a February election proved otherwise. The
British population voted in a
new political party, and all
at Heath's requesting misfortune. Now the Labour
Party was to try its hand at
running the muck. And from
statistics reported in Newsweek, March 4, the population
is nol optimistic about the
aces in Wilson's deck.
Perhaps the dissatisfaction wilh the new government may be speculated lo be
seen in the March 28 kidnapping attempt of Princess
Work on Crucible
is now underway
Work on the Crucible,
LHS's Student literary magazine, is under way with expected publication this fall.
Fidilor Debbie Rowles, a junior
English-Liberal
Arts
major, is optimistic that this
year's publication may be
representative of a number of
campus writers.
Rowles, a 1972 participant in the Nottingham exchange program, feels she
has gained " a new perspect
tive" from the experience.
While in England she started
a comparative study of the
LHS literary magazine, Nottingham College literary Magazine, and a number of independent student publications.
More artwork is included in
her plans for this year's magazine.
Professors Joeseph Nicholson and Vincent Stewart
are advisors to the small
staff, which includes Sue
Kisher, Donna Leggett, Dan
Keefer, Sharon Hamilton,
Pat Ramsey, and Jan Albright.
Friday April 19 is the
final deadline for all manuscripts to be submitted.
Students who entered the recent poetry and short story
contest are especially reminded to submit another copy of
their work to Russell 05 to
be considered for publication.
Anne, a rare incident in a
country which has treated its
royalty kindly since Charles I
lost his head in 1649,
"Still,
extraordinary
circumstances have usually
brought out the best in the
British," stated an article
in the March 11 issue of
Newsweek, and an AP story
recently reporied that the
country is coping wilh its
three-day work week and
other drawbacks far better
than expected. The coal
miners' dispute has been
settled to the miners' current
satisfaction,
homes
are
warmer and brighter, and
unemployment has actually
dropped a quarter of a million
workers from the January
level.
So far, manufactures
seem to be gelling 70 and 80
per cent of their normal output, and the feared bankruptcies of small firms have
not yet been a problem.
Thus,
although
the
common folk are generally
confused and/or disgusted
wilh the results of their
February election, scattered
shopping days, and stale of
the union, the struggle lo
maintain Britain's historic
stiff upper lip continues. As
was slated in the Newsweek
issue of March 11, "The
secret of the system, Harold
Laski observed long ago, is
'the gentleman's genius for
compromise and his capicily
for absoralion.'"
Mr, Shaw may be right,
after all.

With just six lettermen
returning to a squad of 21, the
outlook on LHS Baseball this
year could be described in
one word: rebuilding.
Infielders Mike Crone,and
Barry Anderson are back for
another varisty stretch, as
are pitchers Brian Winters and
John Smundim, outfielder
Dave Royer and backstop Jeff
Kashner.
Rich Osborn, a three
year letter winner for the
Eagles, had to be dropped
from the team due to his
carrying and inadequate number of credits this semester.
Rounding out the '74
Eagle roster are infielders
Mike Churney, Steve DeLisle,
Mike Mersky, Mike Thomas,
and
Bob Wright.
Steve Lebo, Galen Miller,
Rus' Robrbach, Dave Snyder,
Jim . ^ley and Jeff Yentsch
will aid Smundin and Winters
with the mound duties, while
Art Ehlo and Ed Stum will
back Kashner behind the
plate.
Counted on to do the job
in the outfield will be Reggie
Flowers, and Dave Pavaiko
along with Royer, with Mike
Thomas and possibly a reserve
infielder required to fill the
gap left by the loss of Osborn.
Coach Todd Eberle will
put his staff to the test today
as the Eagles take on the
California State Vulcans at
Woolrich Park Field. Game
time for the double-header
(two—seven inning games) is
set

budget vote
continued from Page 1
Tim Foltz, in reference
to a statement made by coordinator of Compus Activities David Arseneault, stated "We are here to provide
the biggest and most rounded
program that the students of
Lock Haven State can stand."
A roll call vote was taken
17 senators in favor and 7
against. With this vote, the
budget was carried.
Only one arnmendmenl t o
the budget was considered.
Senator Mike Holter moved to
ammend by deleting the S4,500
allocated for the radio station,
and adding it to the contingency fund. The reason for this
ammendment was that at
present, the radio station is
not recognised by the senate
as an organization.
"I think a budget should
actively reflect what you
anticipate providing funds
for," stated Treasurer Vance
in explaining the radio station
allocation.
He added that
the senate must vote before
the money can be spent.
The ammendment was
voted on by roll call and defeated with a vote of 4 yes,
17 no, 2 abstaining. By this
time a number of senators
had left, accounting for the
change in total votes.
