FERTILITY DAY
by Skip Lewis
As it has been in the previous
academic years at Capitol
Campus, so will it be again...we
will have one day more fertile
than all the rest. Hans are
underway which will coordinate
this year’s endeavors with last
year’s accomplishments. All
being done in order to give us a
more lovely and gracious campus
to perceive, since not too many
girls have decided to wear “hot
pants” up here.
Standing at the helm of this
worthwhile endeavor is Chas
Marcarelli, a ninth term junior
who has already made himself
known through the Board of
Governors. On deck lending
their talents and time are: Sal
Paradise, last year’s chairman;
Lee Levan, SGA President; Lu
Ann Berulis, Karen Brenner,
Skip Lewis, Charlie Cooper,
Peter Dunn, Mr. Bill Campbell,
Public Relations; Steve Millman,
Student Affairs, and Professor
Klain.
Chas and other members of
the Fertility Day Committee
met with Mr. Harold Stewart,
Dauphin County Agricultural
FERTILITY DAY—Last year. Dr. Ed Racey and the engineers

Project Time: 9:00 a.m. to

Meade Heights at 4:30 p.m.
IS COMING I
Agent and also employee of
PSU, who gave invaluable
information on what types of
shrubs, flowers, and bushes were
available to us, needing “Little
or No Maintenance”. He also
provided tips on their planting
and initial care. Now the
committee must find a supplier
who quotes a reasonable price
and who can deliver.
The date is set for April 20, a
Tuesday; the faculty has
consented to dismiss classes but
with a stipulation. A list of
participants must be obtained in
order to have some basis for a
possible dismissal of classes next
year. I guess they feel that if no
one participates, why bother?
After working hard, there is
nothing like playing hard. So,
afier a day of effort, there will
be a picnic-dance held on the
recreation field in Meade
Heights.
The Fertility Day Committee
hopes to see everyone doing his
part in what should be a great
group effort. More in-depth info
will be distributed latfer. In the
meantime, think fertile!

b) Dance that night (either
outdoors or at Student

CAPITOL CAMPUS - MIDDLETOWN, PA
CARNIVAL
The 3rd Annual Capitol
Campus Spring Carnival is slated
for May 21st and 22nd at the
Olmsted Plaza parking lot.
This is an opportunity for the
organizations on campus to raise
funds for themselves by
sponsoring a booth in the event.
The coordinating committee has
set April 27th as the deadline for
campus organizations to file for
the type of booth which they
desire. After the 27th, all
outside and campus
organizations will be given a
booth on a first come, first serve
basis. Those organizations that
wish to participate should
contact Dean South in the
Student Activities Office or Len
Thompson at 944-9751.
This can be a big
money-maker because it will
draw from the community as
well as the campus, since the
dates of the carnival correspond
with the Plaza’s Anniversary
Sale.
It’s up to the organizations to
make this event a success, so
let’s get moving; there’s money
to be made.
