the CAPITOLIST Vol. 5, No. 7 John R. Grimm, Dean of Student Affairs, has initiated “Grimm’s Table” for the purpose of giving students a better and easier place to find answers to some of their questions. THE 'UNSTABLE Upon scrutinizing your CAPITOLIST last Thursday (as we are sure you all did), you probably noticed several references to a special student committee. If you read carefully enough not only did you discover What the Dean’s Advisory Committee for Student Affairs is but also who the Dean of Student Affairs is. That’s right, Dr. John R. Grimm. He is the man to see for everything from paying parking tickets to playing ping-pong. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Dean Grimm waits in WlOl for students to bitch, plead, or protest their case. In addition, he will make himself even more accessable to that great institution-Student Spirit, from 9 to 11 a.m. every Thursday (starting today).

HOT LINE -944-1033 “All The New* That Fit* .... We Print" CAPITOL CAMPUS - MIDDLETOWN, PA Weekly Report: BEM’S IDIHV CDMUITTEE Snce not all members could attend, this weeks Dean’s Advisory Committee was rather short. Primarily the group discussed old business. Past problems received either positive answers or the means of obtaining the desired results. Engineering’s representative, Ann Topper, reported that at last the experimental shower in Church Hall could be tested. The test will be conducted during the week with the voluntary services of the engineers. For those who are not familiar with the situation, question any resident from the dorms on the subject of showers. At the same time perhaps you might like to pick on another sore subject with that dormy. Ask about the Hall’s carpeting. Guaranteed, if the “Showers” didn’t get him hot, the un-carpeting will. Housing and Food Services have been looking for some sort of carpeting for the past three months. The committee decided to look into the problem and talk to the manager of that department. After speaking to Mr. Gautreau, Jane McDonald reported that a company was contacted and that the carpets were being shipped from South Carolina on the 29th. That means, at best, another three weeks, Folks. By the beginning of the Winter Term, would you believe? The committee was concerned with the lack of various student items in the Bookstore. Karen Johnson, from education, talked with Mr. Kistler, the manager of the Campus Bookstore, and found that he too was concerned about the limited selection. Mr. Kistler was most willing to meet with students in regard to stocking more of a variety of Bookstore items. This concern was referred to Mr. Frey, chairman of the Bookstore Committee for futher action. Unfortunately, these efforts may be for naught if no student is interested in signing up for the committee. Good News! The athletic building and gymnasium are now open. This is due to the additional wage funds allotted to Capitol Campus by P.S.U. The hours, evening and weekends, should soon be posted. To make sure--bug Bob Stanley. Interested in a scenic bus trip to Harrisburg? Maybe not, but if you need a ride to the Capitol Library or whatever, bus service will be available at Capitol Campus. This matter was referred Jo the Student Government Association for further investigation. If you would like more information about busing, contact your respective Senator in your curriculum. Last but not least on the agenda, the committee thanked Dr. Grimm for his immediate response to their request for additional parking spaces in the Residence Hall area. This Week h The SGA The Head of Security for Capitol Campus, who has been called “that other name” (quote by Mr. Paul himself), attended Monday night’s session of the Student Government Meeting. He asked for the Student Government’s endorsement of an intensified campaign against reckless drivers on the Campus. President Terry Wimmer agreed that violations should be dealt with, particularly the excessive speeding on Weaver Avenue in Meade Heights where small children are playing. But Wimmer and the Senate were hesitant about issuing an “endorsement” of the stepped-up surveillance of the Campus, indicating that not all of the ticketing might be necessary. Instead, the Senate agreed to distribute notices to warn students of the crackdown, hoping that this would help to deter carelessness by drivers. Following this, President Wimmer read a letter from Director Herpel regarding an “. . . Casey Jones, you better watch your speed.” Mr. Paul told the S.G.A. at Monday night’s meeting that students will be watched even more closely for violations of the road.
