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. You were a
credit, not only to yourselves
and the campus, but also to

I sincerely thank you for
your fine contribution to our
campus and know that we will
all enjoy many long lasting
friendships as a result of this
event.

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.

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.
