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).

If you are in the habit of
hanging out at the round table
between classes, you may notice
the addition to the usual
set-up“ Grimm’s Table” is for
your gripes, questions,
suggestions and ideas. Unlike its
name, a hopeful program for a
closer student-faculty
relationship will begin here. As
Dean Grimm puts it, “my
purpose in doing this is to let
people know who the Dean of
Student Affairs is, how to
channel in a complaint and
where to get an answer.”
So, if there is anything
regarding placement, counseling,
health services, recreation/ath
letics, student activities, cultural
programming or residence living
you would like to talk about-see
the man at the “Un-Grimm”
“Grimm’s Table.”

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.

Placement Office indicates that

the Opportunity of taking a
separate test for summer
employment with the Federal
Government at a later date.
Normally, information about
summer employment

The Placement Office has on
order a request for multiple
copies of a booklet entitled
“Preparing for the Federal
Service Entrance Examination.”
In addition to specific
suggestions for improving
performance on the test, the
student competitor has the
opportunity to familiarize
himself with the types of
questions that constitute the
examination. Copies of the
booklet should be available
within the next several weeks.
