A RAP WITH OUR PRES.. Tnterviewer-Ro Scanlon Ro: “How about giving us a rundown on what happened at the last SGA meeting...” Lee: “There are four events which occurred at last week’s SGA meeting that I would like to mention. First, there was no quorum... Ten senators must be present to conduct official business. On Wednesday, we did not have more than nine at any one time. Second, the SGA will send a letter to Mr. Mueller, Director of Food and Housing of the University, urging him to give top priority to the reduction of sound in the two residence halls. This is a supportive effort in behalf of the more comprehensive report done by an ad-hoc group of dorm students. Then, the SGA endorsed the reorganization of the Organization of Student Government Associations, that’s the OSGA...which occurred at Beaver Campus on January 16th. OSGA will become a less-structured branch campus organization to deal with common problems among these campuses. Fourth...the Student Court announced its decision concerning the Constitutional question regarding the appointment power of the SGA President. Ro: “What was the outcome of the decision?” Lee: “The Court ruled that a 2/3 consent of the SGA Senate is necessary to legalize all appointments.” Ro: “Is there anything happening within the next few weeks that students should be interested in?” Lee: “There will be an election to fill the several vacancies in the SGA...and I encourage all interested students to run for office.” Ro: “Can anyone run?” Lee: “Yes, the only prerequisite is a willingness to work for the good of Capitol Campus...and its students”. Ro: ‘‘How are the committees going?” Lee: “We’re doing okay with the committees that have enough man-power. But I can’t emphasize enough that we’re in need of students, especially juniors to volunteer for committee work. Here’s the chance for those who are dissatisfied with Capitol to do something about it.” HELP WANTED 5 PART-TIME POSITIONS FOR WOMEN CALL 652-3431 AROUND THE CAMPUS. . .

Reed, President of the Dauphin County Young Democrats, the sponsoring organization. The first classes begin March 2nd and continue every Tuesday and Thursday of that month to completion March 30th. The general topic will be “practical politics” and in-depth presentations will be made on a host of governmental and political matters and issues.

THE CAPITOLIST THE DOCTOR’S BAG... by Arnold Werner, M.D, copyright 1970 College Press Service January 1971 Address letters to Dr. Arnold Werner, Box 974, East Lansing, Michigan 48823. QUESTION: I have just begun smoking cigarettes. Whenever I light up, I get intestinal gas after a few puffs. Is this normal or abnormal? Also, can you give me a medical explanation for this phenomenon? ANSWER: There are two physical factors at work. Nicotine is a powerful stimulant to intestinal action, leading to the observation that a fat cigar is often followed by a bowel movement. It is also likely that you are swallowing air while puffing, aggravating the aforementioned pharmacologic wonder. While treading the fine line between accurate, medical comment and moralizing, I must say that you’ve got to be out of your mind to start smoking cigarettes. It is sad enough that there are so many millions of people who have been suckered into this self-destructive addiction through what at times seems like the selfish interests of an industry that panders death. QUESTION: I would like to know the principle behind those belts one can but to wrap around the waist and thighs to rid one’s self of inches of fat in a matter of days. With the guarantees that go along with them, they must work. ANSWER: The principle was stated years ago by P.T. Barnum: There’s a sucker born every minute. Gullible people are suggestible enough to pull in their paunches and impress themselves when they measure after using such a device. QUESTION: Please settle an argument my roommate and I are having. He claims that men first contracted venereal disease from sheep, which sailors used for there enjoyment during long, womanless voyages. However, I refuse to believe that anyone could get that horny. Can he possibly be right? ANSWER: About the venereal disease, he’sr wrong. About getting ‘‘that horny”—he’s right. The word for sexual contacts between humans and animals is sodomy (which can also refer to certain sexual practices among humans). Sheep inevitably seem to be mentioned when this practice is discussed. This is probably related to size, availability and the loneliness of being shepherd. While offensive to most people, such sexual practices are thought to be not uncommon. ARCHITECT CHOSEN An architect has been chosen and the money released by the General State Authority to build the proposed new Physical Education Building on Capitol Campus.
