Black Woman
The hair, be it straight, kinky,
short or long, caress the face
that contains the yellows,
browns, black & black purple-all
of which adorn her beauty and
reflect her past.
She has been brutalized-raped in
the name of ignorance; burned
in the name of hatred; disfigured
in the name of those
ignominious “god-fearing
brethren” who performed their
hideous tasks “in the name of
the lord.”
She has been ostracized and
innumerous attempts have been
made to dehumanize her and
correlate her very existence to
that of an animal.
Today she sways
rhythmically to the beat of
drums
And with tones too sweet to
ever forget
Croons melodiously “It
Ain’t No Way” “Tryin’ Times”
“To Be Young, Gifted & Black.”
She stands up against injustices
inflicted upon her people and
demands they be removed from
the sick society to which she has
more than paid her dues.
She is involved
involved with love
Involved with life
But most of all,
SHE IS
Women’s Rights Discussion
On Thursday afternoon a
group of concerned people got
together to discuss women’s
rights. The purpose of the talk
was to obtain a sense of what it
is that women on this campus
are concerning themselves with
and by so sharing thoughts and
experiences other questions
would be raised as a menas to
obtaining answers.
Subjects that were discussed
through mainly personal
experiences were such things as;
presuppossed roles of women
placed upon her by a male
dominant society, job and
school acceptance discrimination

A Net of Foggy Despair
Last Thursday the 4th, the
Vanguard Theater’s third annual
college tour made its way to
Middletown, USA. With their
one elaborate set, this company
of four mystified its audience
with a tragic tale of reality.
“Long Day’s Journey into
Night” was written by the great
American playwright, Eugene
O’Neill in 1940. However, it was
not released to the public until
1955—tw0 years after his death.
O’Neill requested that this be
done because of the deep
autobiographical nature of this
play. It is considered to be one
of his finest.

of women, losing one’s
femininity in achieving
liberation; frightening away
potential male, female
relationships because of
liberation, and the social
overtones of lighting a women’s
cigarette or opening a door for a
woman.
It was the feeling of the
group that more discussions will
be beneficial to both sexes aided
by a speaker from a “Women’s
Rights” organization. So,
people, we will keep you
informed. Just remember, it is
“PEOPLES LIBERATION” we
are concerned about.

accomplished actors who
progressivaly drew those
watching into their personal web
of despair. Finally the net
seemed to close shutting both
actor and audience away in the
darkness without hope of future.
After seeing this O’Neill
play, the spirit is almost
overpowered by a sense of
helplessness. It no . longer
controls the body’s mechinical
functions but is a slave to
physical whims. This is the
feeling that many came away
with. Some hated “Long Day’s
Journey into Night” and some
loved it, but none will forget it.

(con’t. from p. 1)
of Student Affairs, but Fve got
to be realistic. There just isn’t
the manpower in the office to
get everything done.
(That doesn’t sound very
optimistic.)
“Well, like I said, it’s
important to be realistic. The
thing is that this whole mess is
going to be a real test of the
concern and abilities of Student
Affairs, S.G.A., the Social
Committee, and so on. We’ll
soon see whether the students
will benefit. We’re learning more
- not just in terms of our
positions - but in regard to
ourselves. That’s why I think
we’re going to succeed.
(What are the specific
problems that are most
important and of immediate
concern?)
“There’re a lot of things. For
the past couple of days, Fve
really been involved with the
Security on Campus. My
concern is twofold. First, Tm
worried about how some
students think nothing of driving
so recklessly on Campus. I can’t
see any excuses for doing 50
miles an hour in a 20 mile an
hour area like Meade Heights,
for example. There are often
kids on those streets, as well as
like riders. It’s common sense to
demonstrate caution.
“The second point is my
concern over how ‘drastic’ Chief
Paul’s intensified campaign will
be. I’m well aware of the
apprehension and the complaints
toward a so-called ‘stepped-up’
Security Program. It’s being
watched very carefully. This is a
new security program in an
already touchy situation, and it
is being carefully examined
every day. The important thing
is that there are two different
perspectives, and both have
validity. Each side should try to
realize the other’s position.”
As Terry Wimmer stated, the
security program is only one of
the concerns, of this Campus.
Next week, other areas will be
discussed, . including Dr.
McDermott’s visit, the Meade
Heights Board of Governors and
the Resident Student Council,
suggestions on commencement
speakers, and more.

Once upon a time there was
a school of fish swimming along
in a cold western current. They
were generally happy, but had a
tendency to get caught in
stagnant pools.. But they usually
pulled out in time before their
brains were deeply affected.
One day, while investigating
an eastern-flowing current, they
noticed a different fish
peacefully and slowly swimming
by itself. They met and
exchanged watery greetings. The
school invited the loner to join
them, so he bubbled “thank
you” and did so.
Some of the younger fish
were attracted to the stranger
and spent hours talking with it.
They even disturbed it when it
was trying to feed. Other fish
were very attracted to it, but
were embarrassed to admit their
curiosity. Because of their mixed
emotions and their suppressed
desires towards the stranger,

This is the first of a weekly
series of Business Club articles
which are designed to assist the
Capitol Campus Community in
any area dealing with money or
business. Future articles will
cover such topics as consumer
affairs, food stamps, tax,
budgeting or poor business
practices of local merchants,
school or government. We will
answer any questions or print
any comments students faculty
or staff may have concerning
business topics. Please feel free
to leave any questions or
comments in the Business office
(W-154) or call Wayne at
944,1748 or Tom at 238-7479.
Don’t feel that any questions or
problems you have are
insignificant. If you are having
trouble with a local merchant,
the bookstore, or your tax
returns there are probably many
others with the same problem.
So again we stress, feel free to
ask for our help or permit us to
print your comments.
This week we are presenting
information on the Senior
Citizen Property Tax Assistance
Act. This Act does not affect us
directly, but can be of benefit to
our Grandparents or friends and
relatives who are disabled or
widowed. The Act, which was
passed in March 1971, provides
that the State of Penna. will
reimburse any persons 65 years
of age or older, disabled persons,
or widows 50 years of age or
older up to $2OO of the amount
they pay Local Government for
Real Estate Tax. The amount
the State will reimburse is
dependent on the income of the
Household. (No household
making over $7500 will be
eligible.) To receive a
reimbursement you must first
pay the local Real Estate Tax
and then submit your proof of
payment to the Department of
Revenue between 1/1/72 and
4/29/72. If there are any
questions concerning the Act
they can be answered by calling
Richard Geisilman at (717)
787-6960 or writing him at the
Department of Revenue,
Harrisburg, Pa.
Don’t forget to drop you
questions and comments off at
the business office so we can
help you.
Mt IME — S44-1133
By Samantha Bower
they disparaged it behind its tail.
But it didn’t mind. Often there
would be a faint echo in the
water sounding like “Gee you,
are you”. But things gurgled
along pretty smoothly.
The loner was accused to
trying to take over the school of
younger fish. This upset it, as it
was only giving what was asked
of it. It wasn’t in search of
egoism, so it wandered back
to its warm, eastern current.
Many of the school said it was
all washed up. But the different
one continued to see the school
daily and made many friends
and enemies. Fish are all pretty
much like men, in a way.
I wrote this for a purpose, as
all allegories are written for a
purpose. If you put somebody
on a pedestal, don’t feel let
down when you find he may be
out of your reach. If it’s not
clear, I don’t know how to make
it any clearer.
