"All The Newt That Fib .... We Print" CAPITOL CAMPUS - MIDDLETOWN, PA CARNIVAL The 3rd Annual Capitol Campus Spring Carnival is slated for May 21st and 22nd at the Olmsted Plaza parking lot. This is an opportunity for the organizations on campus to raise funds for themselves by sponsoring a booth in the event. The coordinating committee has set April 27th as the deadline for campus organizations to file for the type of booth which they desire. After the 27th, all outside and campus organizations will be given a booth on a first come, first serve basis. Those organizations that wish to participate should contact Dean South in the Student Activities Office or Len Thompson at 944-9751. This can be a big money-maker because it will draw from the community as well as the campus, since the dates of the carnival correspond with the Plaza’s Anniversary Sale. It’s up to the organizations to make this event a success, so let’s get moving; there’s money to be made. Len Thompson Carnival Chairman R.A.
