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.

“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.”
