XGl’s Plan
Activities
by Lu Ann Berulis
Chartered in the Spring of ’6B
12 members strong the Chi Gam
ma lota Fraternity is expected to
reach an estimated 75 members this
school year.
Responsible for such social func
tions as the annual “Awards Presen
tation Banquet’’ and the “Years End
Picnic”, the service fraternity has
been nationally acclaimed for the ser
vices it has contributed to our fellow
man.
On the floor of our Nation’s Con
gress only a short year ago, Senator
Cranston recognized the efforts of
the XGI Committee, which works in
conjunction with H.A.C.C., in assist
ing ex-servicemen with college pro
cedures and benefits offered by the
Veterans Administration.
Very close to the XGI Committee
is the Scholastic Committee which
consists of brothers who are willing
to offer their free time to members
who fall into scholastic turmoil.
Operation Santa Claus, conducted
annually, is an attempt to procure
normally hard-to-obtain items for our
combat servicemen in Viet Nam.
Another activity of the XGI in
volved three-year-old Wayne Grang
er of Middletown who received 20
pints of blood from the Capitol Cam
pus GI/Highspire Blood Blank for
his hemophiliac condition. This Blood
Bank is run in conjunction with the
Highspire Jaycees and is available to
residents of Highspire and all mem
bers of the Capitol Campus Commu
nity.
Guest speakers in the past included
Coleman Herpel, Dr. Fred Neubauer,
Hon. Harry Judy, mayor of Middle
town and hope to include names, in
the future, such as Joseph Baker,
Superintendent of Education Unit at
the Veterans Administration, Walter
Reider, Vice-President of Members
Service Dept, of the Chamber of
Commerce of the Greater Harrisburg
Area and Secretary of the Middle
town Association of the C. of C. of
Greater Harrisburg, and a host of
others.
Currently, the brotherhood is work
ing diligently to obtain facilities for
very-near-future Fraternity Festivi
ties. They are also attempting to
procure a Fraternity House in the
not-to-distant-future. The XGI Fra
ternity plans to continue with the
normal operations of which the
school and community will indeed
benefit.
The membership meets the first
and third Tuesdays of the month at
the Blue Room in Middletown at 8:00
p.m. Prospective members are cor
dially invited to drop in and become
a part of the Chi Gamma lota Ser
vice Fraternity or stop by room Wll2
for an application.

THE CAPITOLIST
Cops On Campus...
Paranoia!
by Skip Lewis
“Who protects us?” “Who has
jurisdiction in Meade Heights?”
“How much happy B.S. must I take
from the Globe Security Guards?”
These and questions like these have
come in the wake of vehicle code
violations, tickets, and disturbing the
peace warnings. None of this took
place last year, or if it did, not so
blatantly. But even in Utopia, rules
for conduct must be adhered to and
someone or somebody must be dele-
gated to keep peace and provide safe
ty. Who are these someones?
Glad you asked.
Capitol Campus is state owned
property and is subject to all per
tinent Penna, state laws, which of
course means that the state Police
have authority over one and all at
this campus. Although they work in
conjunction with Lower Swatara, it
would be unwise to believe they can
not arrest nor ticket you for viola
tions of the law. So keep off the responsible for the protection of pro
“grass”. perty and traffic safety; they are
Capitol Campus is located within
the fifteen square miles that com
prise Lower Swatara Township, and
must abide by the laws that govern
this community. The Lower Swatara
Police Department, for better or
worse, has the responsibility for our
protection and safety. That they
have met the challenge with fore
thought has been evident judging by
past events and by the attitude taken
by Chief of Police James M. Shannon.
In an interview with Chief Shan
non, I became aware that he believes
that community projects has its own
social norms and that a police force
should acknowledge this projection
and take into consideration in ad
ministering: to the letter of the law.
That is why the “Midnight Alley
Cats” are allowed to parade without
a permit in Meade Heights at two
thirty in the morning. Watch out
if you try it in another Lower Swa
tara Community!
Although small, Capitol Campus
does have its own security force un
der the direction of Mr. Paul. As
Director of Security, Mr. Paul is in
terested in making sure that what
buildings stand today will be stand
ing tomorrow. Mr. Paul and his
hired guards of Globe Security, are

such as disturbing the peace or hav

local matters and must be handled by
duly appointed peace officers. It is
Mr. Paul’s hope that all matters in
volving students be handled within
the Capitol Campus family. Mr. Paul
has worked in behalf of the student
body with law enforcement agencies
in the past and we have no informa
tion that he plans to reverse himself
in the future.
Our student government is by no
means dormant to this problem of
security and safety. Proposals such
as the elimination of Globe Security
guards with the compensatory “beef
ing up” of the permanent security
force and the use of student Mar
shalls have come forth in answer to
this problem. Both proposals de
serve discussions of their merits and
drawbacks keeping in mind that stu
dents are not here to be peace of
ficers nor do they have power to be.
So is the story of security and
safety at Capitol Campus. . . Sleep
well. Big Brother is watching.
