So now it’s been a full year
since the Head Shop was started.
They have succeeded in some of
their goals. Other ideas are only
in the planning stages, but some
of these may be completed too.
Seniors can remember the
November “bust scare” of last
fall, that stemmed primarily
from a lack of communication
among many members of the
Administration, Faculty and
Student Body. From that
original area of drug education
and awareness and education,
the Head Shop’s concern has
expanded to include “ . . .
involvement in campus and
community, and better
communication for all.”
The simplest explanation of
their spirit is demonstrated by
the Head Shop’s “smile button”
symbol. The methods for
fulfilling their purpose of
involvement are as general and
varied as the statement itself:
They were an integral part of
the Faculty-Student Meetings
last fall, which partly helped to
ease the tensions about drug use
and abuse.
They conducted
mini-seminars and discussions in
conjunction with Channel 33’s
broadcasts of the “Turned On
Crisis” Series. Head Shop
members participated in a
special follow-up program on the
same Channel.
During the Rock Festival last
spring, members operated an
emergency help room in the
Main Building for anyone who
needed it. At the same time,
others walked through the
crowd with their “smile”
armbands to give any additional
assistance.
Certainly the most lasting
accomplishment to date is the
Hot Line (944-1033),
maintained seven days a week
from 8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m.
Again, from an initial purpose of
offering confidential help with
only drug problems, the Hot
Line now receives calls from
students on such topics as draft
information, abortion referral,
or sometimes just a place to ring
if there is no one else who will
listen.
As with any organization,
however, the Head Shop has not
been without it’s problems.
Many times, individual Hot Line
personel had to man the phone
several times within a few days,
due to the group’s small size. It
often became frustrating when
prank callers needlessly tied up
the phone, not realizing that
someone might really need it.
This year the number of
students in the group has more
than doubled, so that hopefully,
more can be accomplished. The
Head Shop will conduct
seminars and demonstrate role
playing during the Open House.
Work is being done to expand
the list of referral numbers for
those Hot Line Callers who need
more professional assistance.

The most ambitious plan is
the preparation for a Walk-In
Center in Middletown. They
hope to work with other
Student Organizations in this
venture. It is no easy task, and
they are still looking for more
interested students to join them.
Head Shop meetings are held
weekly on Mondays at 6:00 p.m.
in the Coffee House at 946 A
Kirtland Ave.
To some, this editorial may
have seemed a little heavy on the
laurels. But a bunch of people
who are trying to help others
deserve recognition and praise
and support.
For being only a year old,
the Head Shop has fared well.
There is optimism that they can
do even more this year.
With that hope, they should
receive an appreciative “Happy
Birthday”, and wishes for many
more for the “Friendly Head
Shop.”
SCREW
SCREWED
by Russ Matthews
Two weeks ago, an article
concerning the Student Center
was published. The article
pointed out how the students
were getting screwed by not
getting their part-time jobs back
this year at the Center.
To our surprise, students are
now working there thanks to the
Dean’s Advisory Committee. It
was brought to the attention of
this committee that the students
were no longer working at the
Center. So, it was decided to see
what could be done. Now two
students are working there under
the watchful eye of a full-time
employee.
The moral of this story is if
any of you feel that you are
getting screwed in any way,
please contact this newspaper or
the Dean’s Advisory Committee.
One of us will try to find a
solution to your specific
problem or problems. There is
no reason to remain silent. You
do have a voice, so instead of
being a pessimist, tell it to the
CAPITOLIST.
Attention
PSPE
Members
All PSPE members are
reminded to sign up for the
standing committees. The lists
are posted on the door of our
new office in W-1108.
Also, many suggestions have
come in for possible activities.
Any additional proposals should
be given to the officers.
Watch for the announcement
of the date for our first field
trip.

fine teacher.”
Again, the Editors of the
CAPITOLIST do not mean to
imply that the quotes from
students necessarily indicate any
kind of consensus. The purpose
of this column is simply to offer
opinions of a few of the people
who have taken or are presently
enrolled in particular courses.
Each week, students will be
asked by CAPITOLIST reporters
to express their views on
Professors. All Curricula will be
involved throughout the year.
For obvious reasons, students’
names are ommitted.
Those wishing to offer
comments on any Faculty
member (regardless of whether
the Professor has been
mentioned previously in this
column), may drop a note in the
Student Activities Office in
Room W-105, care of the
CAPITOLIST. These written
statements will also be printed
anonymously.
Please note: Any faculty
member who desires to respond
to this column is welcomed to
do so.

Club C
by Wendell R. Leppo
At 835 A Nelson Drive it’s all
taking place for the Chess Club
of Capitol Campus. With
meetings every Thursday night
at 8:00 p.m., students are
learning the basic moves,
considering good openings to the
game, and seeing the importance
of piece position on the board.
The meetings are free and
everyone is invited to come no
matter how much experience
you have had with the game.
The Club’s objective is to get
all who have interest in learning
and playing chess together for a
weekly session of chess playing.
Dr. Susskind is the advisor of the
Chess Club and he helps to point
out one’s weaknesses in playing
the game. Along with Dr.
Susskind, the club has a very
“experienced” player. He is
Mike Shahade who has been The
State Champion of Chess in
Pennsylvania for the past two
years. He has been a key figure
in the Club for giving helpful
suggestions and hints in chess
play.
So, if you have always had
second thoughts about playing
chess because you heard that the
game was too hard to learn or
you thought you would not like
it, this is a challenge to you. The
Chess Club has the willingness
and desire, as well as the
experience, to get you started in
learning and playing chess as an
enjoyable experience. This
challenge is not limited to guys.
Girls are invited, too. Dr.
Susskind’s wife enjoys playing
chess, so you will not be alone.
Now do not forget the place
and time! It’s 835 A Nelson
Drive every Thursday night at
8:00 pan. We will be looking for
you. Why not bring a friend
Letters to the Editor
LEGALIZED
Dear Editor,
“Signs, Signs, everywhere
there’s Signs...”
The newest addition to the
sign craze are the two
newly-erected signs which were
christened at the University
Apartments on October 19. The
sign reads:
NO DOGS ALLOWED IN
BUILDING
The residents of the Apts,
received notices this summer,
reminding them that pets are not
allowed on campus. Apparently,
these notices were not taken
seriously. But why do the people
in Food and Housing or the
Administration think that these
signs will succeed where the
notices have failed? Not only
were these signs costly (the cost
of the signs plus labor), at a time
when the University is lacking
funds, but an easier method
would have been simply to
inspect the Apartments. It is
ridiculous to believe that in our
society people take laws and
regulations seriously. If this were

the case, crime wouldn’t exist in
our country.
Another blunder on their
part was that they stipulated
dogs, when we all know that
ALL pets are forbidden. I
therefore take it for granted that
there will be separate signs for
each kind of pet. Eventually the
University Apts, wil be boarded
up with wall-to-wall signs
reading:
NO CATS ALLOWED IN
BUILDING
NO HORSES ALLOWED IN
BUILDING
NO COWS ALLOWED IN
BUILDING
NO JACKASSES
ALLOWED IN BUILDING
NO MONKEYS ALLOWED
IN BUILDING
NO BEARS ALLOWED IN
BUILDING
and especially
NO PIGS ALLOWED IN
BUILDING
The residents of the
Apartments might object to
these signs and replace them
with a few of their own:
NO ANTS ALLOWED IN
BUILDING
NO FLYS ALLOWED IN
BUILDING
NO COCKROACHES
ALLOWED IN BUILDING
NO SILVERFISH
ALLOWED IN BUILDING
ETC.
This is not to mention all the
other vices on our campus. I
guess we will see signs erected in
their name:
NO LIQUOR, NO
FIRECRACKERS, NO DOPE,
ETC.
Meade Heights beware, but
don’t be alarmed if you hear a
poynding at your house it won’t
be a bust, it will just be
somebody hammering across his
point, a new sign on your wall. I
wonder what the cost of a “NO .
. . ALLOWED IN BUILDING”
would run for each house in the
Heights?
It is important to realize that
this is the way we deal with
problems in America. We
passbills in Congress to save our
society and then they say with a
sigh of relief, “We’ve saved our
country from the forces of
darkness.” Let’s face it, it just
doesn’t work that easy. Neither
America, nor Capitol Campus, is
far from being a Utopia.
When a ghetto kid is caught
for graffitti (defacing property)
he is arrested, (a hardened
criminal) but is it that much
different from the sign “NO
DOGS ALLOWED IN
BUILDING?” Aren’t they both
trying to say something?
