MADNESS:
GIVE GIVE GIVE
An outrageous editorial last
term by one “Dusky Moonlight”
stated that we-the
CAPITOLIST—were
understaffed. That statement
was really not so outrageous. Of
course, most other campus
organizations could use more
people, too. And, while we are
super busy, if we get some help
we all would not be so busy. Got
that? Well anyway, if there any
seniors out there who want to
say something in print before
they go off into the world, let us
know. And juniors, you’ve got a
whole year of comparative
silence ahead of you. You can
start breaking it now. It really
doesn’t take that much time and
can be quite rewarding (one of
our staff—depending on your
choice of sex—will give you a
great big kiss). If interested,
contact Ro Scanlon, Lee Nell or
Tom Hagan.

FROM YOUR
HEADSHQP
Hello—hello again, people.
Thought you’d like to read what
the Head Shop has planned
tentatively for this term. We are
applying for a Federal grant for
money so that we will be able to
increase our education programs
and community services. These
grants are made available to
responsible, community drug
awareness program groups with
the hope that some of the myths
about drug use and abuse can be
done away with. Presumably we
will find out later if the Federal
government considers us to be
responsible.
Head Shop plans also to
initiate and sponsor drug
awareness groups in the local
community and school system.
It is with the plan of a
student-run group that we will
approach interested students,
youth groups and others both in
and outside of the school system
to discuss the possibility of
establishing such groups.
And, as an added attraction,
we are still trying to get Chris
Owen to come to Capitol
Campus. Mr. Owen dropped,
studied, and tripped on acid
with Dr. Leary for quite a while
and, hopefully, can offer some
interesting insights about that
drug. We had contacted him
during the fall term, but he had
had scheduling difficulties since
he is also a full-time student.
Also in the works are plans
for an outdoor picnic-rock
festival. Available funds will
determine the number of bands,
but we will provide food and
edible goodies for your bodies.
The date will soon be decided
definitely but will be shortly
before or after mid-terms. So, if
we don’t see you before
then—and we’d like to-have a
good term.

THE CAPITOLIST
The Library Hassle Continues
/fa. fa&A -
Dear Editor
“OK, drop that briefcase;
hands against the wall; spread
your feet. What is your business
here? Are you a part of this
organization?”
Sound like something straight
from THE FBI or maybe ADAM
12? Sorry baby! It is an
accepted part of life on Capitol
Campus.
“Heresy,” you say.
“Bullshit,” say 1.
Have you walked through the
turn-style in “our” Library
lately? Were you gazed upon
suspectly and your belongings
searched? What are you hiding?
Grass? Bombs? Books?
I’m sick and tired of hearing
students protesting the “fascious
pigs,” the “system” or the
“establishment” who run the
legal shakedown. Wake up you
clods! The shakedown is right
here. You are all pinned and
surveyed as crooks, thugs, and
book runners.
What is next? Uniforms for
library personnel? Clubs and
guns for guards posted at the
doors? Iron bars for PEN State
libraries?
Perhaps you aren’t insulted
by the shakedown tactics.
Perhaps you are willing to accept
martial law on campus. Perhaps
the type of students enrolled on
this campus are neither worthy
of trust nor of respect. If these
are the cases, I say “right on” to
the library. But if you feel an
injustice is being levied, speak
out! Let’s see some “student
power” where the student is.
Thank you,
Tom Zimmerman

Legal Abortions Without Delay
I wish to offer a brief
explanation regarding the
installation of turnstiles and an
exit inspection system in the
Capitol Campus Library. The
rationale is quite simple: We
wish to protect the resources of
the Library against losses caused
by illegal removal (whether
conscious and deliberate or
inadvertant) of books and
periodicals so that the access to
these materials by faculty,
students and other patrons is
safeguarded. Open stack
libraries, obviously, are “sitting
ducks” for fairly extensive
depredations against their
collections and ordinary
prudence dictates that
inspection of departing patrons
is necessary to protect the
interests of all Library users. The
loss of books and periodicals not
only penalizes those who may
wish to use them but also has
monetary and budgetary
implications. Furthermore, the
job of replacing books and
especially current periodicals
(which are very difficlut to
replace and which, if not
replaced, prevent binding of
complete volumes) imposes a
severe burden on staff time and
is, thus, an unwelcome diversion
from more creative tasks. Exit
inspection is no affront to
the integrity of students or
faculty as it (among other
things) constitutes a check on
the accuracy of our book
charging procedures and other
record-keeping. College and
University libraries throughout
the U.S. have had exit inspection
for years and we ask for mature
acceptance of a procedure which
is necessary and almost universal
and which has as its motive the
protection of everybody’s right
of access to our Library
Collection.

Save Thyself
From
Library
Injustice
by Dave Hoffman
At the beginning of Spring
Term, a number of students
were not allowed to register
before they paid for books or
periodicals which the Capitol
Library claimed were not
returned. The unfortunate thing
was that many of these students
had returned the items charged
to them, but the Library had
failed to account for the return
properly. Several students even
had to locate the missing books
themselves in the Library before
their claim was listened to, and a
non-student circulation clerk at
the checkout desk politely
refused to assist a student who
wished to hunt for such books
within the Library. It is
understandable that the Library
is in a state of constant
confusion with the frequent
adjustments in policy (security
systems, etc.) but it is indeed
unfortunate that students are
made to suffer for errors
committed because of this
confusion.
It is quite a shock to the
average student to find that he
has to pay an additional $6.00,
$20.00, or whatever the cost
might be, before he or she can
register; especially when the
student knows that the property
in question was returned.
What can the students of
Capitol do to protect themselves
from such a one-sided system?
The students of Capitol must
demand a receipt for each book
or periodical returned. If
receipts cannot be provided,
students should demand the
signature card or sticker which
they signed at the time of
withdrawal. It is unfortunate
that this article is necessary. Mr.
Jacob was confronted with this
problem on several occasions
and he steadfastly refused to
institute a two-way receipt
system, although he was willing
to give a receipt to those few
students who demanded them.
The only way for the students of
Capitol to get a two-way receipt
system—one which protects the
student and the Library—is to
demand such a system each time
a book or periodical is returned.
Perhaps Mr. Jacob will then
realize that even the best library
systems can be modified to meet
the needs of each particular
library. Perhaps he will also
realize that students deserve a
little protection too.
