Nancy , Kathy 9 Pat & Jerry Lee Nell Capitol Campus welcomes two new staff members in the office of Student Affairs this year. The positions were created in the reorganization of that office last year. After all the hassel and student interviewing, our two young ladies were hired. The CAPITOLIST is happy to introduce to you Miss Nancy Colnes (pronounced “Cole-ness”) and Miss Kathy King (pronounced “King”). Miss King, originally from Utica, New York, graduated from Elmira College with a B.A. in International Studies. She took her M.S. in Student Personnel Administration at State University of New York at Albany where she was in a student personnel internship program for a year. She was a Residence Director at Trenton State College and, for the lasi two years, the Assistant Dean of Students at Wilson College in Chambersburg, Pa.

Nancy Colnes can be found in the office next to Dean South where she will assisting him in Student Activities. From Larchmont, New York, Miss Colnes did her undergraduate work in Elementary Education Psychology and English at the University of Hartford.

Through October 3,1971 “All The News That Fits .... We Print” CAPITOL CAMPUS - MIDDLETOWN, PA Nancy classifies herself as a ski bum and enjoys camping and bicycle riding as well. She comes to us after a recent European trip and, loving the experience, hopes to return to Europe soon. One of her newer interests is the field of dance therapy, but you’ll have to ask her about that. Nancy cut short her student internship program because the program was basically building - or operations oriented and not student oriented. The decisions of both girls to join us were largely motivated by the desire to work more closely with students. Aiding in those decisions, too, were the students whom they met while at Capitol for screening. Of the screening process, Kathy remembers her whirlwind tour with mixed feelings. She enjoyed meeting the students she had time to meet, but since she had only one day, she met only a few. And admitting that it must have been a bad day, she remembers the conference with the students. “It was really too bad. The students and I were thrown together for a short conference, and it just didn’t get off the ground.” On the other hand, Nancy did have the opportunity to spend a few days here for screening. “I was really happy that I had the time to stay for a while. In feet, it was the students who really convinced me to come here. They were so honest but without the sarcasm that many New York kids have.” Unfortunately, the printed page is limited in really getting to know someone. Kathy and Nancy have been here working and planning for some time now, but they are looking forward to meeting the students. I suggest that you do go meet them. Thye’ve been just great in the few weeks that I’ve known them, and after meeting them, I’m sure you’ll join me in giving Dr. Grimm a vote of thanks for his role in bringing Kathy King and Nancy Colnes to Capitol Campus. Hello The CAPITOLIST wishes to extend a welcome to our new students and to our returning ones. We sincerely hope that your experience here will be rewarding to your mind and body. Capitol Campus has one of the best faculties in the Penn State system for your academic pursuits. And this year, we will be having some really great social events as well. In addition, there are all sorts of committees which need people. And they need people who want to contribute. We are small enough that you won’t get lost in the rush here, and with a little luck, we can all work together. The campus is changing-help it change. Contribute to it, and we all benefit. But look around. Capitol Campus offers something for nearly everyone. If you can’t find it, start it. Make it a good year; And say “Hello” to someone. WELCOME From The Prez On behalf of the members of the Senate and its Executive Officers, may I once again extend to you a very warm welcome to Capitol. I sincerely hope that you are finding the Orientation Week activities most helpful in • easing the problems and anxieties you are being confronted with in becoming acclimated to your new “home.” Many of you come to Capitol with mixed emotions concerning Student Government Associations. I personally believe that you will find our SGA much different-for we make no promises. When I ran for office PROVOST CANDIDATE VISITS CAMPUS If the schedule goes as planned, one candidate for Provost will have visited Capitol Campus earlier this week. His time on campus will have been divided between Administration, Faculty and student personnel. The candidate, Dr. Robert E. McDermott, was born in Maywood, Illinois, on October 5, 1920. He took his B.S. in Forestry at lowa State University and his M.S. in Botany at the same institution. In 1952 he was awarded his Ph. D. in these fields by Duke University. Dr. McDermott has taught at Duke University and the University of Missouri. From 1959 to 1963, he was Professor of Forestry and Head of the Department of Forestry Management at Penn State and then served as the Assistant Dean of the Graduate School until 1969. From that time, he has been the Dean of the Graduate School at the University of Arkansas. At this point, we do not know when the final decision on the selection of Provost will be made. However, the plans are to have several candidates visit our campus. Dr. McDermott is the first of the candidates to do so. Mcßride Exhibit The first art exhibit of the year in the Gallery-Lounge is a series of paintings by Mr. Alex Mcßride. Mr. Mcßride, who is chairman of the Department of Art at Juniata College, has had numerous exhibits throughout the East since his graduation from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1962 and Cornell University in 1964. Working mostly with Acrylic paint, Mr. Mcßride says his goal is “to produce an esthetic relationship of space and light.” The large size of his paintings serves to reinforce this effect. The exhibit will be on display through October 8. Hours of the lounge are Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Thursday, September 23,1971 last Spring, I used the slogan “Together We Can Make It Happen.” It is in this spirit that we will either achieve the goals we establish throughout the year, or greet June ’72 in failure. An SGA will never achieve even partial success if it is not viewed objectively. We must be cognizant of our limitations as well as our potential as a power on this campus. There is no room on this or any other college or university campus in this country for individualistic power-glory seekers. Our cause must be one o f unity and solidarity. With your ideas, energy, and constructive criticism, it will be. Your SGA office is located in W-104 and I live at 911 Weaver Avenue in Meade Heights. I look forward to a productive year and the hope o f meeting you all. Financial Aid The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency announced today that it has established a Regional Office at Millersville State College. Students and parents seeking information are urged to contact the Regional Representative by calling: 717-872-4643. Robert Fleming, the Regional Representative for this area, stated that students at Capitol Campus also check with the Financial Aid Office for information concerning the State Scholarship and Guaranty Loan Program. Dr. James Jordon, 43, died this summer while trying to swim ashore after his kayak tipped over in Lake Ontario. Dr. Jordon was Associate Professor of Humanities and Philosophy, and served as Chairman of the Faculty Council. He graduated from the University of Georgia Institute of Technology and held master’s and doctor’s degrees from Emory University. An avid sportsman, Dr. Jordon was All Southeatern Conference halfback and honorable mention for All American while at Georgia. He taught at the University of Chicago and at Georgia Tech before returning as an instructor to Emory University. He joined the faculty here at Capitol last September after ten years at Emory. In a statement for the CAPITOLIST, SGA President Terry Wimmer said, “As a member of the Faculty Council, I was well aware of Dr. Jordon’s deep concern for the future of Capitol Campus. He was well liked by students, faculty and administration alike. We shall join his friends in mourning his loss.”
