What
By Gregg Crescenzo
In the maintenance of any
society, one of the vital organs
contributing to its function and
dependent existence are the
values of the individuals existing
within a society. “Individual
responsibility” is nasty
identification given to a certain
item in the total makeup of
society. Our generation has,
through ‘‘individual
responsibility,” come together in
many situations, such as, trying
to end a war; bringing about a
much greater degree of equality;
listening to music. We, as
individuals, have taken upon
ourselves these responsibilities.
Then, finding a group with
common responsibilities, an
entire set of values were added
to society.
We at Campus are very much
a part of what has been
added subtracted and
forgotten about—by society.
Why then, do we who have
stood up and called out the
rip-off artists so easily, allow this
same rotten disease we so readily
saw in others, functioning in a
vicious existence right here on
Campus. Listen people—you
can’t try to end the rip-offs
when the exact fuckin’
condition walks so cozily down
our hallways.
The Social Committee has
sponsored two events—they cost
bread to attend—but it also costs
bread to have an event. WZAP
sponsored an event too, that also
cost bread. But at these three
events, a total of 105 of you
people ripped them off. That’s
an average of 30 unresponsible
people, not that 2%ag?in. These
are more mixed up, frv its likely
that they’re the very same
The CAPITOLIST has been
ofering you savings since the
year began. But, for the most
part, you haven’t been taking
advantage of them. Why not? A
little extra looking around could
make your limited funds go a bit
further.
These merchants are buying
ads not only to support the
newspaper and the campus, they
would also like to see some
return on their investment. True,
they all have an interest in
helping this campus as they can.
They are interested in what
happens on campus and wish us
well. The ads prove that.
But how much can we take
from them? If you think that
the CAPITOLIST is being too
commercial, just take a look at
our budget. We need these
merchants. And so does WZAP

HEY PEOPLE!
The Hell’s Happenin’?
people who scream and bitch
about how the government
bureaucrats rip-off the poor, the
black, and whoever else is being
given a raw deal- but in the very
same breath are just as sick as
theS. 0. B.who takes a bribe
rather than do what he should.
These 105 or so people have
been the difference between an
event breaking even or being the
financial loss they were. The
Social Committee and clubs are
not in business to make money.
If you think they are-join the
goddam organizations ana see
how many more pairs of
dungarees you’ll be able to
afford. Join these organizations
and be the first to learn the
unscrupulous way in which they
plot to steal your bread. If the
organizations were doing this,
then ripping them off would be
a saintly thing to do. But first,
people, they want to give you
something, and 105 of you spit
in their face—What have we
come to!?
Surely we are rational
enough to see that if we don’t
want to pay for an event, we
should find something else to
do: staying home and getting
stoned isn’t that Middle Class
yet—or is it? If we want to
attend the events, be prepared to
contribute not only your
physical presence, but some
bread. Then, other events can be
held. If you come stoned and
forget your coin-well, borrow
them from a friend, or play dead
in the bushes. When your’re
found you’ll probably be
brought inside.
Seriously though, when an
event does not break even, the
deficiency must be made up
from a different source. To this

and the Yearbook. Many of
them are helping us out. And we
can be most grateful. But they
need us, too. And they’re not
getting our help. Commercial?
You decide. But remember that
they are spending money on
campus and getting little in
return. For the forseeable
future, at least, money is still
very important in our world.
None of us has a lot of
money to spend. But we are
spending it every day. And we
can return some of Middletown’s
interest in us by shoping at the
stores there and in the plaza.
Christmas is coming, why not
buy gifts in town. Why not buy
from our regular advertisers to
show that you appreciate their
interest and help. Besides, many
of them offer special savings to
students. We’re not asking you

point, it has come from the
Rock Festival budget. So, if you
want to have a place to display
your love and fraternity, to
prove to the world once again
that a lot of freaks can love
smoke and listen to music in
peace, lets start acting like what
we’ve preached so goddamned
much about. If you question and
ask, “Well, why don’t they ask
for the bread at the door, your
head ain’t where your heart
should be. Just give it with a
smile, and maybe thank the
dude. He won’t steal your teeth.
Faculty Profile:
by Bob Bonaker
and Mike Welliver
Among the well known
members of the faculty of
Capitol Campus is Dr. Mihailo
Dordevic, Associate Professor of
Humanities & literature.
Dr. Dordevic, born in
Belgrade, Yugoslavia, received
his M.A. degree in Romance
literature at the University of
Belgrade, where his outstanding
work earned him the award as
Best Student in the Post War
Generation. Work for his Ph.D.
in Modern Comparative
literature was completed at the
University of Paris in 1958.
Again his endeavors brought him
honors, as he received his
Doctrate with Mention Tres
Honorable.
He began his teaching career
in Paris where he taught French
literature and language from
1956-59. In 1959 he came to the
to spend your money when you
haven’t got it. But if you are
goind to spend it, spend it
around here. Clothes, records,
tapes, food, soap-anything!
Bought any lately? Where do
you commuters spend your
money? Philadelphia
commuters, too?
We talk of community. OK
so Capitol is an interesting
community. But so are
Middletown, Harrisburg and the
rest. Maybe not what you’re
used to, but interesting just the
same. And the people Fve dealt
with are really great. At least
they can’t be all bad-they read
the CAPITOLIST.
So do yourselves, your
campus, your newspaper and the
community a favor. Shop in this
area. Get to know thepeople.
And yes, horrors, spend some
money. Here. If you want to get
together with these people, this
is a good way to start.

Dr. Mihailo Dordevic
United States and began
teaching at Converse College in
South Carolina. Dr. Dordevic
also taught at Ohio Wesleyan
University and Western
Washington University. In 1967
he returned to Paris where he
taught for two years before
coming to Capitol Campus.
Along with teaching, he has
also published several articles
dealing with surrealism. His
ability to speak and write seven
different languages has helped
him translate more than 6,000
pages of novels into Serbian. He
is currently preparing a
translation of the novel August
1914, written by Solzhenitsyn,
the Nobel Prize winner from
Russia.
Dr. Dordevic lists traveling as
his main interest outside of
teaching. In past years he has
traveled throughout much of the
world, including a recent trip to
Iran, Lebanon and several Asian
countries. He also enjoys
attending operas and visiting
museums in some of the larger
East coast cities.
Concerning Capitol Campus,
he said he enjoys the small town
atmosphere on campus and in
the surrounding communities.
He voiced a great liking for the
students as well as his colleagues.
In regard to his teaching
methods he emphasized the
importance he finds in oral work
in the courses here. He believes
that oral work, including exams,
results in a fairer grade to the
student and helps the student
learn to communicate ideas
without having to write them
down.

Herbert P. Lauterbach, Asst.
Executive Secretary for Field
Operations and Urban Services
of the Pennsylvanai State
Education Association addressed
the November 4 regular meeting
of the Capitol Campus PSEA
Chapter.
Mr. Lauterbach spoke on the
topic of “Collective Bargaining
for Teachers.” He stressed the
importance of the Pennsylvania
Public Employees Collective
Bargaining law better known as
Act No. 195 as a milestone of
teacher rights and
responsibilities of bargaining and
negotiating with school boards.
“All public employees have
certain fundamental rights under
Act No. 195,” said Mr.
Lauterbach. “These include the
rights (1) to organize, (2) of
teacher organization recognition
as a bargaining agent, (3) to
bargain and (4) to utilize three
different methods in
negotiations. The methods are
bargaining, mediation and fact
finding.”
He also stressed the “limited
right to strike” and the right of
membership andparticipation in
your teacher organization, the
setting of demands upon which
to bargain and the possibility of
a strike if all other efforts fail.
Other areas covered during
the meeting included such
questions as the process of
bargaining, what do you look for
in teacher assignments and job
possibilities and future
improvements to Act No. 195.
An interesting question was
forwarded and concerned the
first year teacher. Suppose you
were a new teacher reporting for
your very first day at school and
the. teacher association was on
strike. What do you do as a new
teacher upon arriving at school?
For the answer, come to the
next regularly scheduled PSEA
Chapter Meeting to be held on
Thursday, December 2, 1971 at
8:00 pan. in Room 212 (the Air
Room) of the Admin. Building.
