IVe Got Them Post-Pre-Registration Blues
Notice: The following is a list
of those poor suckers who didn’t
get the courses that they
pre-registered for...
Naturally, the list consists
mostly of juniors, who are at the
lowest part of that low part of
the university totem-pole called
undergraduates. So, with many
angry words, several looks of
anguish (e.g., “Why Me?”), and
helpless resigned sighs, The
Chosen Many trudge to the
Hassle Room for God only
knows what.
Scene 1: (Just outside the
Hassle Room):
Student 1: I wish 1 knew
what I didn’t get, so I could look
over the list of courses for a
substitute.
Student 2: Don’t worry
about it. They just handed out a
list of the closed courses, and
you probably won’t get the
substitute either.
Student 1: What are we
supposed to do, then?
Student 2: Curse, stamp you
feet, cry...
Student 3: It can’t be that
bad. I’m sure things will work
out as soon as we get inside.
Student 2: You are obviously
one of the many idealistic
juniors, who are going through
this for the first time.
Scene II: (Inside the Hassle
Room):
Your Dollars can vote against war
The average citizen has very
little political power. Yes, he can
cast one vote every two years for
a congressman, every four years
for a president, every six years
for a senator, although to vote
for the man of his choice is
often to throw his vote away.
Yes, he can write to his
elected officials, but when Sen.
Scott can refuse to accept a
petition with 16,000 signatures,
when a congressman votes to
table the McGovern-Hatfield
amendment because his anti-war
mail has dropped from 10-1 to
3-1, what good is a letter from a
constituent? Besides, many
people are afraid to write their
congressman or take a public
stand on a controversial issue
such as the war. And with some
justification—all 125 students
who carried protest signs, etc, at
Nixon’s appearance during Billy
Graham’s Crusade at the
University of Tennessee this
summer have been arrested on
some charge or other.
However, the business
community does have enormous
political power that can and
does exert tremendous and
continuous pressure on
government. And business
depends on the consumer dollar.
Americans can vote daily with
their dollars—the bread on your
table, the gas in your car, can be
a vote against war. If you want,
you can retain your anonymity,
your votes can be a truly secret
ballot—you don’t have to
explain why you aren’t buying
Morton TV dinners.
Boycott for Peace is gradually
spreading across the country. Its
purpose is to pressure the
Business Community into using
its political power and influence
to end the war and redirect the
nation’s goals toward the
building of a better society.
Although the primary
objective of the Boycott is to
bring the consumer voice into
the military-industrial complex,
it can be the beginning of a
constructive consumer campaign
to say NO to misleading
advertising, confusing packaging,
inferior and harmful products.
Student 1: Well, it could have
been worse. I got two out of
three of my courses. At least I
only have to pick one.
Counselor: What’s your
major?
Student 1: Humanities.
Counselor: That’s too bad.
Student 1: Isn’t there
anything left?
Counselor: Well... There’s Phil
2001.
Student 1: What’s that?
Counselor: It’s a study on the
moral implications of building
sandcastles in stormy weather,
between the hours of 2:15 and
3:45 a.m.
Student 1: I’ll take it!
Counselor: Too late. I’m told
that it was just filled up. How
about...
Student 2: Why can’t you
offer more than one section of
the popular courses?
Counselor: That’s too easy,
silly.
Student 2: Then, can’t you
ask the profs to let a few more
students in?
Counselor: I do recall that a
few have done that.
Student 2: But not enough.
Well, what do you suggest? I’m a
Social Science major.
Counselor: How about SoSc
9!%*7Vi? It concerns the study
of the divorce rate of the
blue green algae in the swamps

would have the nerve to even
show his face today?
Basis. . .
Continuing in the
experimental nature outlined in
the Educational Philosophy of
Capitol Campus, a new degree
program is being organized. It is
dedicated to student
involvement and initiative.
BASIS (Bachelor of Arts Degree
in Self-Initiated Studies) will add
a new and enlightening
dimension to the educational
process of Capitol Campus by
allowing the student to develop
in an unstructured environment.
Copies of the proposed program
will be available for inspection at
the SGA office.
The objective of the program
is to involve you, the student, in
the educational process. Your
participation in BASIS is needed
to develop the potential of the
program. If you are interested in
becoming involved leave your
name, address and phone
number with Dr. Eisenstein in
Room 200.
Critic’s
Notebook
“I Never Sang For My Father”
reviewed by
Roger L. Hawkins
After seeing the theatre
production of “I Never Sang For
My Father” I wondered just how
wide the generation gap really is.
Melvin Douglas plays the part
of a senile father, and his son,
played by Gene Hackman is
devoted to his father. His entire
life is geared towards doing
errands for his father.
This movie is very relevant to
the time, besides being
sentimental. Since there is so
much controversy about
children not understanding their
parents, and parents not
understanding their children,
this movie demonstrates that the
problem between parents and
their children is understanding...
understanding one’s worth.
' After seeing this movie you’
cannot help but to think about
how it is to grow old with all
your work and worth behind
you. You constantly need to be
reassured that you have not been
forgotten. Do we, the Younger
Generation, appreciate our
parents and what they have done
for us? Yes, and we can give
them credit for what they have
done, despite our differences.
The concept that “I Never Sang
For My Father” brings out is
that a good shoe never grows
old, it just paves the way for
new ones.
I suggest that if you can see
the movie, it will make you see
that the difference between
parents and children is that
parents do not want to face their
senile years alone.

CORRECTIONS
In last weeks issue of the
CAPITOLIST, there were three
incorrect items.
In the “Black Enrollment”
article, the resolution asking for
more black recruitment was
passed at the SGA meeting of
February 24 not the 28th, as
stated in the article. In the same
article, the vote was 8 in favor,
one opposed, and 4 abstentions,
hence not unaminous, as
previously stated.
In the article entitled
“Recall”, Neil Maddonick, not
John Fanelly seconded the
motion to recall Bill Ducassoux.
Both of these articles
appeared on page four of the
March 3, 1971 issue.
Teacher Evaluation
The SGA again will be
distributing forms and compiling
the results of the Teacher
Evaluations. This is a
continuation of the project
started last term and carried
through by Neil Maddonick,
Junior Engineering Senator, and
assisted by Amy Neuman, Senior
Senator at Large.
All Students should be
expecting to receive the
evaluation forms in the near
future.
