Dear Editor: We are very proud that the Harrisburg Rock Festival was acknowledged as a big success and we feel that time out should be taken to let your readers know who were instrumental in helping put this event together. At the very top of the list is Dean South of Student Affairs. If one person can be singled out for the success of the Rock Festival, it would be Jerry South. His understanding, his direction, his compassion, and his help simply can not go unrewarded without a rousing salute. We are indebted to him. Also Steve Millman, Pat Murphy, and Dr. Grimm were extremely patient and helpful in putting on the event. In case you don’t already know, you’ve got some good friends working for you in student affairs. Please appreciate them as we have learned to already. Hats off also go to Mr. Paul and his handling of the traffic situation. If not for his supervision, there could have been some major parking and traffic problems erupting. As much kidding as Mr. Raul takes we found him to be very easy to work with and a fine gentleman. The head of maintenance, Mr. Russ Rorbaugh was extremely helpful in supplying us with all that electrical power which was needed throughout the day. We also thank him for use of the scaffolds by which the lights were mounted on for the night time portion of the Festival. Our head of public relations, Mr. Campbell was instrumental in providing us with advertising, advice, and newspapers, and radio stations for us to hit,-in order to get the best optimum coverage. In short the administration was always behind us in everything we undertook and let us still run the show. But, then guidance and direction in certain areas were greatly needed and it was there where they rose to the occasion. This was their Rock Festival as much as it was ours. They should feel just as much pride and satisfaction as anyone associated with the event. Consideration should be given to outsid'e interests like Martini’s and the Railroad House, who provided much help in getting the Light Show together. Also the State Police and the Lower Swatara Police helped with the traffic problems and used then discretion in keeping away from the campus itself. Also, the security guards should be given a vote of thanks for the part they played in the day’s event. A special thanks goes out to all the acts who donated then time and talents into making their portion of the Festival a complete success. In discussing the Campus help we received, the Head Shop stands out above the rest. Then handling of the drug situation was expert and their dedication during the course of the day was so greatly appreciated. Also, we must cite the Student Marshalls, who handled the tricky traffic problem with skill and dedication especially considering the heat. To commend our organization would be an “ego-trip thing” to many, but when all your hard work and planning turns out the way Sunday, May 23 did, some pride and feeling of accomplishment is necessary. Thanks should be given to everyone who wore a red T-shirt on Sunday for all of them should be proud of then efforts. The various committees of GPP such as area publicity, letters To The Editor: Rock Festival advertising, engineering and stage crew deserve special merit for each knew their job and they all did it successfully. Unfortunately hot all was peaches and cream. Due to poor planning and bad taste on the part of Social Committee, many people were hastled as far as food and drinks for the marshalls, stage crew, and groups. “Where were you social committee?”, seems to be the tone of feeling floating around, and it is a just feeling seeing as how an unknown amount of money was collected through the crowd, a percentage was taken from Servomation and the concession people dnd still the S.C. had the audacity to hastle marshalls and stage crew people in getting free food (which was one of the stipulations allowing them to collect in the first place). Due to commitments in Philadelphia, the S.C. was unable to set-up the booths and apparently they had commitments later that night because when it came time to clean up they were no where to be found. But with smiles on their faces and warmth in then hearts G.PJL gladly set up and tore down their booths. However, looking back on the long day’s festivities it seems to us at G.P.P. that the S.C. was one big Rip-Off. We would like to clear up the fact that we were agents of the SC. when in fact the Board of Governors and the SGA helped us considerably more, especially when we needed some organization to turn to. In conclusion, our satisfaction lies in the amount of people that came and the dedication of so many, which made the Harrisburg Rock Festival, a shining star in the eyes of the Administration, Campus and community. GPP hopes to see everyone next year. Let’s hope Capitol Campus will become indeed a campus now. We Tried. To Student Body I wish to take this opportunity to publicly thank all those who helped make the Harrisburg Rock Festival a successful event. I particularly want to recognize the student marshals, Head Shop members, and, of course, Good People Productions for their outstanding service.

Sincerely, Goodpeople Productions Sincerely, John R. Grimm Random THE CAPITOLIST GOODBYE... Dear Seniors: The time is fast approaching when you will be leaving Capitol Campus. I find it extremely hard to believe that time has gone by so rapidly. (It seems like only yesterday you were “new” students). I also find it extremely hard to accept the fact that you will be leaving and I will (perhaps) not have the opportunity to see you again. With these thoughts in mind, I felt that the only way I could tell all of you thanks for the privilege of knowing you, was by sending you this letter. I will miss each and every one of you very much. I hope that you will come back, if time permits, and visit. FOR YOU, FROM ME When God made all the beautiful flowers...He must have thought of you...for you ALL are so very beautiful...not just outside...but inside t00...He made you of many colors, shapes and sizes...many rare...He brought you to full maturity...with His tender, loving care...may He bless you and bring all the happiness...that there can possibly be...and may God bless you for the happiness...that you have brought to me. Love and God Bless, Mrs. “B” To all members of the Capitol Campus Community: With the induction of Terry Wimmer and the newly elected S.G.A. on May 19th, my term of office as President has come to a close. However, before I vanish completely from the S.G.A. scene, I-want te d&-one moie very important thing. The past year has been very exciting and extremely rewarding to myself, and I want to thank every person who in any way has been a part of it. Thanks, first of all, to those people who voted for me last May; thank you to those people who helped in my campaign; thanks to those people who served throughout the year as members of the S.G.A.; thanks to all those persons who, through their efforts, whether channeled through S.G.A. or independently, contributed to whatever success we have had in the past year; thank you to those people who criticized S.G.A., for they made us think about our responsibility and take our jobs more seriously; thanks to all those faculty and staff people who cooperated with S.G.A.; thanks also to everyone who did nothing but be a member of the Capitol Campus Community, for without you we would not have had the opportunity; thank you to anyone I have omitted from this list; and, especially, thank you to Chandler Wolf and George Hardy who made it all possible. If I can ever help any of you, please let me know. Thanks again, Lee Levan Notes All students who plan to return next fall should report to the Academic Services Office during the period-May 26 to June 4-to have pictures made for a new I.D. card to be issued upon their return in the fall. The University is changing to a new style I.D. card with color picture. m ton wilt eeieseet Way back when, in the Fall Semester, Lee Nell suggested that perhaps one way of encouraging communication on this campus could be through graffiti. Since then, there have been very few words of wisdom to grace the stalls of the Ad Buildihg’s think-tanks. This is not to imply that dialogue has not been utilized at Capitol. There certainly seems to be more togetherness, as shown most recently by the success of the Rock Festival. Nevertheless, The Head Shop hopes that it can offer some tidbits of literary gems through the sharing of some of the graffiti which decorates the walls of the Hot Line Room. Here, then, is a collection of some of those words, written in jest, seriously, and whatever else, over the past months: • One day Iris Caught the virus Passed it on to me, It bit my knee, (filled me with glee!) Went down to my shoe Passed it to you And you see stars Travelled clear up to Mars, So if the line rings, Swing back on a string like any normal ding-a-ling. Seven I kissed the street A snowball hit the milkman And it was hot Green bells opened the gate to the schoolyard Where pimple ball’s propensity sung to a nearby tornado. Why not, you silly snot. Would you laugh at me If I told you I loved you? No, brat I’d smile. HE M.L HBNESII Hill em rarif miicran FEE EEMEIE RETIE lEEEHEE Wednesday, June 2, 1971 by Tom Hagan What is a hot line?
