CAPITOLIST the VoL 2 No. 2 C of C Offers JOBS Thanks to the membership of the Greater Harrisburg Area Chamber of Commerce, students at the Penn sylvania State University’s Capitol Campus have more opportunities for part-time jobs this year than in pre vious years. More than 300 part-time, off-cam pus jobs have been made available to Capitol Campus students by the Chamber membership, said Richard R. Schulz, campus placement direc tor. In seeking the aid of the Chamber, Mr. Schulz noted that part-time jobs are a necessity for many of the un dergraduate students at the campus. “Because of depressed economic conditions in many areas,” he said, “summer jobs that were counted upon to help defray the cost of ed ucation failed to materialize. “At the same time, reductions in the appropriation of state and fed eral funds previously available in various financial aid programs also have led to increased dependence on part-time, off-campus jobs.” The campus Placement Office has established a part-time job registry in which skills, aptitudes and exper ience are matched with available jobs.

The new document, assembled af ter much debate within the commit tee and the entire SGA, will be dis tributed among the students so that they might familiarize themselves with its content. Members of the Committee will be available to explain and discuss the new constitution at times to be an nounced and posted. The new document greatly expands the scope and powers of SGA and es tablishes a more comprehensive ju dicial structure. All students are asked to familiar ize themselves with this document before the election, as it is the foun-. dation of student voice and power in the University. Eric Murray, Chairman JUNIOR SENATOR ELECTIONS OCTOBER 15, 1970 VOTE! “AD The News That Fits CAPITOL CAMPUS Middletown, Pa. Lucien Cross Resigns Treasurer Post Patty Patterson Approved by SGA by Eric Murray Lucien Cross, SGA’s treasurer since last May, resigned his position recently. Lucien, Lee Levan’s chos en and supported candidate, ex plained that since he was leaving Capitol in January, it would not be feasible for him to hold the office now. “I have more work than the president,” Lucien commented. SGA President Levan chose Patti Patterson to replace Lucien, because of Patti’s interest in the position, her impeccable qualifications for the job, and her general ability to handle the funds. The SGA voted to support Levan’s decision because they felt that Pat ti’s qualifications met all standards. However, certain members of SGA felt that Levan should have asked the senators’ approval before ap pointment, as in the case of other elected officials. Chandler Wolf denied the consti tution stated that elected officials have to be approved by SGA. There is a technicality in the Constitution which arose from the fact that when SGA treasurer and secretary were made elected officers, no provision was made for filling vacancies, should they ever arise. The Constitution states that (V 11,2) Upon resignation or recall of the Vice-President for social affairs or the Vice-President for legisla tive affairs, the SGA president shall appoint an individual with the approval of the senate to fill that office until the next regularly scheduled election. October 14, 1970 The next section (V 11,3) states that a senator’s vacancy should be han dled in the same manner. Some SGA senators felt that even the most liberal interpretation of these sections made it only proper and respectful of the senate that the President submit his appointment for approval. This was not the case. And, in fact, Levan implied that he didn’t care whether or not SGA supported his appointment, his decision was binding. In light of this, the SGA elected to give Patti and Lee a vote of con fidence in order for regular business to be conducted. Kowalski Nominated To President’s Post Joseph L. Kowalski, 952 A Kirtland Street, has been nominated by SGA President Lee Levan for a position on PSU President Oswald’s new Uni versity Council. The University Council will be composed of four stu dents, four faculty, and four admin istration members. It will meet regularly, hopefully every two weeks with Oswald on university matters. Mr. Kowalski is one of five nomin ees from the Commonwealth camp uses of the Penna. State Universi ty. One of the five will be chosen to serve on the University Council. The other three students will be two un dergraduates from University Park and one graduate student from any of the graduate centres.
