Carter and vice-president elect Mon dale will be working with a democratic congress the democrats control by a 2-1 margin, They also have a majority of 68 ‘members in the senate, The biggest job confronting Carter and Mondale will be to work with the congress to try to improve the economy, defeat the unemployment problem and do as Carter says, ‘‘Put trust and morality back into government,’’ PENNSYLVANIA RACES An important race was for the Pennsyl= vania Senate seat between Republican John Heinz and Democrat Bill Green, Heinz, who was accused by Green by running a money campaign won the Senate . seat vacated by Minority Speaker Hugh Scott. Closer to home, in the 7th Congress sional District, Bob Edgar (D) was re= elected to a second term over Republican John Kenney, ‘Piano Man’ Holds Audience in Hand By: Alan Gasmer On Saturday night, November 6th, a sell-out crowd of nearly 5,000 Penn Stat- ers crammed into the Rec Hall on All-U Day, to hear one of the best concerts to be put on at the University. Billy Joel, a sell-out last spring, treat- ed this audience by playing a total of 24 songs drawn from his three latest albums, “Piano Man,’ ‘‘Streetlife Seren- ade,? and his most recent, “Turnstiles,” From his opening number, ‘Angry Young Man,’” you could feel the anticipa- tion and excitement generated through his music touching the audience, They re- sponded by rushing the stage at every opportunity and by clapping, dancing and singing along, In between songs, Joel talked to the audience and did imitations of other rock stars. In doing this, he came down and communicated with the audience at their level while holding them in his grasp. He could do no wrong, Such classics as ‘‘Piano Man,”’ “Cap- tain Jack,’ ‘The Entertainer,’’ and ‘The Ballad of Billy the Kid,’’ were excellently November 24 - November 26 - | Lado poke rit, Dear Editor: I was laboring under the misconception that the library is for quiet study. The library seems to be the noisiest place besides the cafeteria in this school. I feel, as I am sure alot of other students do, the library should be quiet, It is for studying and research. Secondly, it is very hard to keep your mind on your research (or study mater- ial) when there are other students talking audibly all around you, Also, that annoying electric pencil sharpener, Something should be done to correct this situation, Also, there is a perfectly good lounge across the hall for light conversations, I suggest these people who talk in the library use the lounge and be told to do so by the librarian, A person who needs quiet to study, Jim Demopolis played by a fine tightly-knit four man band BETTER than the studio recodings. The audience went wild, and, in showing his appreciation, Joel came back for five encores and shook hands with the crowd, thanking them, After the concert, Joel said the band was really “up” for this concert and looked forward to playing Penn State in the near future, Billy would sure be welcomed any time!

The Lion’s Eve is a publication written by students for the students of this cam= pus. The first comments regarding the paper have been, ‘it’s too small,” “it’s smaller than my high school paper,’”’ These com= ments are understandable, however, there is a reason for the small newspaper, With limited funds from University Park the U.S.A. (Undergraduate Student Association) allocated the LION’S EYE $450 for the year, As one of 13 clubs on campus it is important to point out that to get out nine issues of a paper the size we would like, the cost would run close to $1700 a vear, We are expected to obtain advertising to help with the cost, However this is difficult with a small inexperienced staff, Although we must be a club to receive University funds we are rather the only organization on campus that reaches the entire student body at one time or ano- ther, For this reason we believe we are entitled to a larger budget. As a newspaper, the LION'S EYE does not have one typewriter or office to work with, We are forced to make due with any unusad typewriters and space we can find, We have the option of reserving Room 212L, but it is not always available, We are doing our best to improve the size and quality of the LION’S EYE, but it takes a larger staff and a larger bud= get, Gili favndine Eileen Laverty, Editor - Leo Sayer - Tower = Strawhs and Ambrosia = Tower Dave Mason December December wo W December 10 = - Spectrum - George Benson and Stan- ley Clarke = Academy of Music December 11 ~ Robert Palmer - Tower pe ae | STAFF: Vol. 8 - No. 3 Opinions expressed by the editors and staff of the Lion's Eye are not necessarily those of the University Administration, faculty or students.
